...Part of the opposition must have come from sheer surprise - that political controversy would come from a group with such a friendly, chirpy name. (Dixie? Chicks!? It?s a double affront to political correctness.) And maybe they expected that the two other, older band members would disassociate themselves from Maines. Briefly, in the film, Emily has the attitude of the good student who doesn?t care to be kept after class because the bad girl mouthed off. "If anybody asks me - ?I didn?t say it. Talk to her.?" But that?s not really an option. "We?re a sisterhood...
...joining the CIA. You will be completely unable to discuss your work with any outsiders, even your closest friends and family. You’ll be assigned seemingly impossible missions (code named “problem sets”). And you will struggle in solitude or with a small band of comrades until you complete your mission. Suffer an ignominious defeat, and transfer to Computer Science. On a more physical plane, the Math department occupies some prime real estate.

...called growth plates located near the ends of most bones. "The growth plate is actually at its most vulnerable in the year before it closes," says Dr. Jon Divine, medical director of the Sports Medicine Biodynamics Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Ohio. Reason: a protective band of tissue that supports the growth plate starts to break down at puberty so that bone can completely ossify in preparation for adulthood. Without that protective band, the plate is especially susceptible to being unnaturally compressed or even pulled apart. Parents are often shocked to discover that overuse injuries may require...
