The Truth and A Lengthy Excuse An essay on Eric Williams and Winthrop Jordan In Eric Williams' essay, "Capitalism and Slavery", the first thing he stresses is that racism came from slavery, not the other way around. Of course I was immediately put off by this statement after reading Winthrop Jordan's "White over Black: American attitudes toward the Negro, 1550-1812", which has quite the opposite idea stated in it. Fortunately, Eric Williams' essay nearly tears itself apart on its own without any
seconds. ''We broke down,'' said Chicago sage Charles Oakley. ''They picked up the intensity and we couldn't match it.'' The Celtic defenders did everything in that stretch. They forced five turnovers, including successive 24-second violations. Eric Williams won a jump ball from Brad Miller. Chicago went empty on eight consecutive possessions as coach Tim Floyd desperately made lineup changes (five) and called a timeout, all in vain. It was an overpowering defensive effort not seen here in some time

Lord of the Flies For the study of the first amendment and censorship we had to read a banned or challenged book. I read Lord Of The Flies by William Golding. Lord Of The Flies was written in the 1950's during the World War Two era. This book is about a bunch of boys aged 6-12 that get stranded on an uninhabited island with no adults.

Seven Sins of Deadly Meetings by Eric Matson Sin #1: People don't take meetings seriously. They arrive late, leave early, and spend most of their time doodling. Salvation: Adopt the mind-set that meetings are real work. There are as many techniques to improve the "crispness" of meetings as there are items on the typical meeting agenda.
