...dusk, the classrooms emptied, / the book shut tight, those forsaken treasures / of knowledge must batter the fading blackboards / and swarm the silent, sleeping halls, / like shades of lives never to be lived.” It seems here that Williams is wondering whether his own work will eventually rest unheard and unread in closed books and dark classrooms. One can only imagine, however, that a voice this full of candor and sensitivity will remain audible and appreciated for a long while...
...with largely the same lineup that won it every accolade it vied for in the previous one, including the prestigious European Champions League trophy and the Spanish league title. On the other hand, during the off-season, Real, furious with its failure to compete with its archrival, spent an unheard of $345 million on six players—one of whom was Cristiano Ronaldo, the 2008 Fédération Internationale de Football Association World Player of the Year.

In light of this, we encourage students to raise their voices with similar force in the future and hope that the UC continues to listen...
...school's self-reported 70% success rate is based on voluntary follow-up assessments with former students, most of whom agree to participate. A rate that high is almost unheard-of in the diet world. Only 7% of dieters finish Jenny Craig's one-year program, while Weight Watchers counts people who stay even a few pounds under their starting weight as a triumph. But these programs lack the comprehensive approach of Wellspring. Research indicates that therapy-based obesity treatment can be three times as effective as traditional diet-and-exercise models. But how many people...
