Research University Rankings

Here is a nice compendium of fun facts about research Universities:

One thing the surprised me is that in 2005, my old University, Wisconsin-Madison, raised half-a-billion dollars, placing it second among all universities in the US.

I am not surprised that people show the place a lot of love--it is a very wonderful place that I think has transformed many lives for the better. But I am curious as to how it happened to have such a great year.

David lindahl scam write a short note secured by a second mortgage on your house or other real estate in the amount of the seller’s equity.
One of the things that a seller thinks about when giving a second mortgage is that he will have to foreclose and would get the property back! The security of your residence may eliminate the seller’s demand for cash, given the greater assurance that he won’t get the property back.
