What school is better for these sciences?

Question by Rabbit: What school is better for these sciences?
So I’m kind of lodged between UMich, Mich State, and UIowa. I’m an Iowa resident, so the latter would be most convenient. I’m thinking I want to go for Biology/Ecology/maybe politics…? My GPA right now is around 3.4 weighted, but it’s flying up. I missed a lot of school last year due to health things which really brought me down GPA wise. My ACT is 28. I’ve taken AP Bio and AP Art History thus far. So. Where should I go?

Best answer:

Answer by Hannah S.
UMich is by far the best school, by far.

With that stated, UM also has the highest out-of-state tuition of any public school in the nation.

Rick Perry’s Religious ‘Strong’ Ad’ Kicks Him Where The Sun Doesn’t Shine!

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 14:38:18 +0000

Rick Perry’s ‘Strong’ Ad Surpasses Rebecca Black’s ‘Friday’ With More Dislikes On YouTube Rick Perry’s controversial anti-gay ad, titled “Strong,” has officially upset people. The reaction has actually been so negative that the posting of the ad on YouTube has just achieved the record for the most dislikes on a single video. The clip surpassed Rebecca Black’s now infamous “Friday” music video to claim the top spot as YouTube’s most hated video. Currently, Perry’s video has approximately 300000 “dislikes,” while Black’s has a little over 253000. However, at this point, while over 10 million people have viewed “Friday,” only about 750000 have viewed Perry’s ad, meaning a stagering 40 percent of viewers have not only disapproved of the spot, but openly expressed their dislike online. Needless to say, the Perry campaign isn’t happy. Their previous ad “Faith” is also posted on YouTube, doesn’t prominently display the “Likes” versus “Dislikes” count, and still has over 25000 “dislikes.” The video itself has been so controversial, that Perry’s own staff is divided over it. Sources close to the Perry campaign have told the Huffington Post that even top officials in the campaign were uncomfortable with the language of the ad. Nonetheless, it began running in Iowa on Wednesday. The Perry campaign’s newest ad, “Repeal,” which touts Perry’s promise to “repeal Obamacare,” doesn’t give YouTube viewers the option of to Like, Dislike or even post comments below the video, as pointed out …

What would one charge to cook meals and bring to elderly? We don’t have M on Wheels in rural area.?

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:38:59 +0000

Question by George: What would one charge to cook meals and bring to elderly? We don’t have M on Wheels in rural area.?
My elderly neighbors would likely buy the groceries but I would bake, or prepare, package and deliver for them to freeze and reheat. How would I charge as there is only Government programs in town but nothing comparable. Besides, those program used subsidies and the meals are high in calories and starches. No special diets would be involved yet that is not a problem if they purchase the groceries themselves. Any one else direct me to other comparable organizations? I am in Iowa and will be checking Dept. of Ag. regs. as well.

Consider your time, utilities, mileage and packaging. Pay yourself an honest but not exorbitant wage. Think about what a person on a fixed income can reasonably afford in your area. Good for you and good luck!

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 02:38:05 +0000

Full story :sjmishra.wordpress.com Another exceptional video with a stupid preacher: www.youtube.com James the Preacher takes his message to the American Atheist Convention in Des Moines, Iowa over Easter Weekend. This video was taken April 23, 2011. By the way, sorry about my stupid laugh. Memorable comments: You are a piece of God hating Satanic filth. God is love, but He is also HOLY & JUST; & your problem is you are a vile sinning blaspheming God hating PIG, & as a just God, God has to punish you for your abominable deeds! If? God let sinning criminals like you go who refuse to repent, He woudl no longer be just! A loving kind secular judge will still send the criminal to PRISON with a smile on his lips & not doing so would be a PERVERSION of justice! You DESERVE to BURN in TORMENT! -ciaranofseir Dear filthy abominable God hating son of Satan, Most professing Christians do not know Christ & are headed to burn in unimaginable torment right along with the atheists. God loving you just? as you are is the greatest heresy in the visible church. If you are a atheist & do not repent, God hates you, His wrath abides on you, He has PURPOSELY blinded you so you will not repent & He is your enemy! God is going to cast you into eternal fire & mock as you scream & burn in anguish for your filthy sins! -ciaranofseir By the way, again, if anybody in the video has any comments, you can email me at sanjeev.mishra94@gmail.com

Look at the Gaza situation this way?

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 02:42:28 +0000

Question by Chelfi: Look at the Gaza situation this way?
Say a relevant government body decided to return Iowa and Nebraska to the Native Americans to settle old grievances, and the tribes elected to bring back the buffalo and dismantle the white settlements and farms. The tribes also gave the white people the option of living alongside them and practicing the old ways.

Either side of this picture could be either side of the Israel-Palestine issue. Both have a claim, both have history, both have suffered.

So how is something this complicated ever to be solved?
Damsell: My point is that both sides are defending their home, and the people who attacked Israel at the start were defending their homes, just as Israelis are not defending their homes.

Who can say which home is more a home?
Just as the Israelis are noW defending their homes. sorry.

Q&A: self-designed major, how to explain?

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 02:37:40 +0000

Question by suesue: self-designed major, how to explain?
I have the option of designing a major which I would like to do but I have to be able to explain it.
It would consists of a certificate of public health, a certificate of non-profit management, along with multiple political science, history, and psychology classes. I would get more out of this self-designed major than I would a traditional major as with the non-profit management aspect I would be learning about grant writing and so forth and it’s less focused on one aspect although public health, non-profit management , political science and psychology all suggest that I would likely either be looking to work for the government in some aspect or at a non-profit organization attempting to improve the lives of people or further studying people in graduate work.

This would be at the University of Iowa uiowa.edu
I have to do the general education courses still with this.

Why is it that when gay marriage is put up to a populist vote it is defeated?

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:40:48 +0000

Question by Obama – Wimp in the White House: Why is it that when gay marriage is put up to a populist vote it is defeated?
31 or 62% of the states have put it up for constitutional modifications. All 31 states have voted to define marriage as that between a man and woman only and amended their constitution to turn back laws put into place by liberal judges practicing judicial activism.

Five states have legalized gay marriage — starting with Massachusetts in 2004, and followed by Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Iowa — but all did so through legislation or court rulings, not by popular vote. In contrast, constitutional amendments banning gay marriage have been approved in all 30 states where they have been on the ballot

Will the gay rights activist now accept civil unions or will they continue to waste everyone’s time with this issue?
