built 656 days ago
The College of William and Mary claims 13 priorities, or achievements of the academic world, which they accomplished before any other university or college in the United States. For example, William and Mary was the first college in the US to establish an honor code. A marble plaque commemorating these 13 priorities hangs on the exterior wall of the Wren Building, the nation's oldest academic building still in continuous use. Today, the Wren Building houses the college's Religious Studies department.

Individuals may use a chapter 13 proceeding to save their home from foreclosure. The automatic stay stops the foreclosure proceeding as soon as the individual files the chapter 13 petition. The individual may then bring the past-due payments current over a reasonable period of time. Nevertheless, the debtor may still lose the home if the mortgage company completes the foreclosure sale under state law before the debtor files the petition.11 U.S.C. § 1322(c). The debtor may ... lose the home if he or she fails to make the regular mortgage payments that come due after the chapter 13 filing.

On January 7th, Bill Clinton preached a sermon at the Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington, D.C. The sermon lasted precisely 13 minutes: there's that number again! In the sermon, he told the 700 people in attendance, "I look forward to finding out whether John Quincy Adams was right when he said, 'There is nothing so pathetic in life as an ex-president.'" (3) I think he was far more pathetic as President. Bill Clinton concluded his 13 minute sermon by thanking the "parish" for its "welcome to gay and lesbian Christians, people who should not feel outside the family of God." (4) Tell it to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah on Judgment Day, Bill! Pastor J. Philip Wogaman and President Clinton exchanged backslaps. http://www.lasttrumpetministries.org/2001/February2001.html
