In January 2003, AOL Time Warner, Inc., announced that it would be posting a loss of $98.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2002, the largest corporate loss in U.S. history. While company exec- utives described the loss as a result of accounting changes rather than problems with ongoing opera- tions, the media conglomerate clearly faced significant challenges.

Policy design of the transportation system has long used statistics of typical economic indicators of ridership to find ways where the system is in need of corrections to operate in a more effective and efficient manner.

Wars have been waging on the Earth as far back as written history in its various forms of art could document. In the past, military conflict was far more unforgiving than it is today as modern international humanitarian laws have regulated war to a certain extent. Civilians are now protected against various war crimes such as genocide and therefore distanced from the wars waged by their nation’s government against enemies. This distance and protection given to the civilian population has numbed them to the various horrors of war going on overseas. People do not have to worry about their safety or the lives of their children when the closest thing to war people experience is provided by images and video from limited news coverage in the

I was in my room, soft classical music from my computer’s speakers filling the room, it is just past 6 o’clock in the early evening. Thinking about my assignment, I sat there, staring blankly at my laptop’s screen, seeming mesmerized by the vertical bar cursor on the empty Google Docs page blinking in and out. “Why are you here?” murmured my brain, mirroring what the assignment had asked.

The nursery crew was down to Kenny and I, and it had been for a little more than four months at that point. We had a very secure system going and Kenny became my mentor, for he had a lifetime of experience with plants and an esoteric view on their being. Together we identified ninety percent of the plants in the orchard by then, at the same time making sure the nursery was pumping out enough plants.
