I was told by a friend that I should apply at a cell phone store, because the money and commission would be way better than what I get now (8.50/hr at petsmart). I have some sales experience--I worked with my father's auction company, I coordinated private summer school classes (advertised, planned them, and dealt with people who bought them) and though it isn't sales, I've worked in an ER with patient relations. I'm a pre-med college student. My questions: What's it like working in cell phone retail, do you think I have a decent sales history, and what is the interview like?

John McCain called William Ayers “an unrepentant terrorist.” McCain said that Ayers “was engaged in bombings which could have or did kill innocent people…” So McCain is saying that someone who engages in bombings which could have killed or did kill innocent people is a terrorist. Now consider what McCain did. McCain flew a bomber, an A-4E Skyhawk, over North Vietnam. I don’t know whether he actually dropped his bombs before being shot down. But certainly he was engaged in actions that, if he had succeeded, could have killed innocent people. Which makes McCain, in his own words, a terrorist. Now McCain could argue that that’s different because, as he said elsewhere in the interview, “I had a reconciliation with the Vietnamese, when we normalized relations.” Did he apologize to them? He didn’t say. If he did, that would make him a “repentant terrorist.” Too bad Stephanopoulos didn’t challenge him.

You don't have to read the whole way through, but I can assure you it isn't boring. But if you aren't going to read it all, you should probably read the last bit rather than the first bit. I won a contest with it, but I'd like to know what the general public thinks! Any criticism or praise will be greatly appreciated! Family. It’s more than someone whose blood type is similar to yours. It’s more than someone you live with, fight with, love with and cry with. Family is the support system that holds a household together. Without this simple, six lettered noun, my life would be chaos; but with it, my life is magical. There are tears involved, and there’s commitment too. But the end result is something more fantastic than can be described in words: love. In today’s society, family is too often forgotten about. It is shamefully scraped under the rug for later, something that ought to be paid attention to, but rarely is. What must be remembered is the fact that nobody would be here if it weren’t for family; not only because it is where we come from, but because it is what makes us. A mother doesn’t raise a child, a family raises a child. This is all too easy to forget when life is fine and simple and good. When everything is carefree and easy to manage, and family is put on the back burner for later. Unfortunately, by the time we realize how important family is and how much it truly shapes us, it’s too late. I only know this too well. It all started with simple motor problems. But by the last day of my seventh grade school year, my mom had been taken to the emergency room. The CAT-scan revealed a tumor. A tumor. To describe the shock would be impossible- it was like one of those dreams where you just can’t wake up. But through it all, the chemo, radiation, rehab and physical therapy, my mom has emerged stronger than ever. And even more amazing, my entire family has become closer due to this horrific experience. Rather than trying to handle our grief on our own, we learned to cope. To talk. To cry. What I went through was something that I could not have done without my family to back me up. And as often as I find myself wishing this hadn’t happened to me, as often as I find myself wondering why, I know that somewhere hidden behind this curse, there is a blessing. It is a blessing of hope, togetherness, and strength. But most of all, it is the blessing that my family is strong enough to be able to overcome this obstacle, and look ahead into the future, rather than dwell on the past. But how could I mention family without mentioning my sister? Five years ago, I would never dream of mentioning her in any document that would be readily available to the public, but things have changed since then. From the days of tie-dye bathing suits and Barbie doll games in the sun, to college applications and courses for high school, my sister and I have evolved from being simply sisters to so much more. And it’s more than shopping and gossiping. It’s a bond that has evolved out of nowhere and continues to build up over the years. The connection between two sisters is one that nobody could really understand- apart from two sisters. Of course, there is one more member of the family who simply cannot go without being mentioned, and that is our chubby, black-haired, non-blinking dog, Leila. Chosen from amongst all her little brothers and sisters for mountains of kisses she showered us with, Leila has been a part of our family ever since we got her eight years ago. It just goes to show that family doesn’t have to be someone you have a blood relation to. Family doesn’t even have to be all human! To have family, one must have love, care, and understanding. It’s a support system, more reliable than any other kind. Family can consist of two people, or one hundred people, or more! It can be all under one roof or it can be a community. Growing up in a close-knit neighborhood, I have experienced first hand what it’s like to have a home away from home. It is almost as important as the house I grow up in. My family? It consists of a stay at home mom, a working dad, a sister at college, a fat, smelly dog, and me. It consists of my neighbors, who I would call my brothers and sisters without hesitation. It consists of my cousins, aunts, uncles, and Nonna (my zesty Italian grandmother who could very easily have her own essay written about her). What ties all these different people together is our constant love for each other, the memories we share, but most of all, the laughs we have enjoyed together. Because greater than all the tears, anger, and obstacles we have overcome together is the happiness we have shared. It is what represents us as one. As a community. As a family. What is family, truly? It is, at best, an environment full of love. An environment I have been fortunate enough to be a part .....of my entire life. (I had no idea it cut me off until now! And I only had four more words too!) Thanks for the kind words! You have no idea how much that means to me!

Use the function f(x) = 2x and g(x) = x² + 1 to find the value of each expression. 43. f(3) + g(4)
44. g(3) + f(4)
45. f(5) - 2g(1)
46. f(g(3)) Please show work and explain how to do it please. Thanks.

"The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." Brits have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666. The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was
precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability. It's not only the French who are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout loudly and excitedly" to "Elaborate military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides." The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose". Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels. The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. Americans meanwhile are carrying out pre-emptive strikes, on all of their allies, just in case." Just a joke! That's all folks!
