...have to remember that college admissions is a zero-sum game. For every kid who's admitted, there's another kid who doesn't get the space. There's a cost there. It hurts the quality of intellectual discussion in the classroom, the vitality of the university. These universities are nonprofits whose mission should be to identify the best and brightest students. Their mission shouldn't be to perpetuate aristocracy in America...
...find the dangling wire ungainly, then Exkate, www.exkate.com, another Californian company, offers wireless control options for its collection of powerboards.

...year doesn't pan out, she has to give up her second choice, a favorite since birth, thanks to the nonsense of grownups. Brutal. I can understand the tears, and I can understand her parents complaining to the principal and then the school board, each time without success. Your kid feels bad, you do what you can to make her feel better...
