Think about it: if those questions really are FREQUENTLY ASKED, why the heck isn't your regular copy answering your visitors' questions?
Unanswered questions keep visitors from buying/converting — that's not theory; it's a fact!
So why, oh why, would you knowingly allow your persuasive copy to ignore a frequently asked question? Why would you possibly be content with hiding the answers to your prospective customers' questions in an FAQ page? Are you trying to weed out all but the most determined of customers?
While I don't have confirmed experimental numbers to back this up (yet), common sense says that for every customer willing to search for an answer on an FAQ page, there are dozens more who simply give up on the purchase or look to your competitors for the answer.
So instead of erecting a sign saying, "Beware of persuasive pothole, please drive around this hole by visiting our FAQ page," and hoping your visitors are motivated and alert enough to navigate such an alternate route, why not simply fix the persuasive gaps in your copy. Here's how to do that:
1) Determine where visitors are most likely to access your FAQ page. Look at your analytics to see where visitors are within their site visit/shopping process when they attempt to look at your FAQ. Do they do this early on in the process or later, as a last resort?
2) Get a sense of context by going to those identified FAQ access pages. You're not just interested in the questions themselves, but in the context in which they are asked, so look at the page in terms of why visitors would be on that page. Note that a persona-based or scenario-based analysis helps with this.
3) Go to your FAQ page and think about the emotional concerns behind the questions. Here are a few examples taken from actual FAQ pages, along with the emotional concerns that probably underlie those questions:
4) If you have live chat or a published phone number, comb through those records or ask your customer service reps for the questions people ask and where they are on the site when they launch the chat service or call in. Once you have the list of questions gleened from Live Chat and Phone trasncripts/experience, repeat the process used in #3 by examining the emotions and concerns behind the question. How do those results differ from your FAQ?
5) Address underlying concerns or questions within your regular Website copy. You don't necessarily have to do it with copy, as pictures, testimonials, videos, user reviews and other site elements can also address these concerns, but make sure the questions get answered.
Well….yeah. Sometimes when you really need a "knowledge base" library, but you don't want to call it that, or when you want to make the hard core geeks in your audience feel better about asking their un-frequently asked questions, a FAQ page can work. Just make sure you ALWAYS provide links back to sales pages from within your FAQ answers. Once you've answered the visitor's question, move them back onto a persuasive path.
Oh, and sometimes there are some Q&A's you might actually want to hide, like in this Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 FAQ – notice the first question ; )
But seriously, realize that an FAQ is basically a junk drawer; you're shoving stuff there because you haven't taken the time to find a proper home for it. You realize this question may come up, but you haven't figured out where it would come up – do the hard work to uncover the context and emotion behind the question and finding a better place for the answer within your copy becomes relatively easy.
[Editor's note: The author of this post is now blogging at jeffsextonwrites.com
Good stuff, Jeff. I'd also add that "in-site search" reports can be mined for hints on even more unanswered questions.
I love it! I never thought about the FAQ page like this, but you are completely correct. I am going to go change a couple pages now.
What frustrates me about FAQ pages is. Some are made up by the company before they do business. Or the questions are not real nitty gritty questions. For me, most of them are useless because they are common sense 99% of the time. For example "I've lost my password, what should I do?" I just saw one today that said "How do I contact Customer Service?"
Hi there Jeff.
This is a very relative article. I just realize that my site has no FAQ page yet. I understand how it is important. But I also realize that this page should also be created with the right structure to help and keep your visitors, readers, followers and clients. Thanks.
This is one of the rare occasions I find myself disagreeing with you Jeff (or any of the FN team for that matter)! Not completely disagreeing, I think the ideas about using the FAQ to feed back into and improve the persuasive copy are great. But I disagree with the final conclusion strongly.
An FAQ isn't a place for stuff you can't find another place for, everything that's in an FAQ should be included elsewhere in the site. Who made a rule to say that information on a website can't be repeated on more than one page, I never heard that? I also think it's a mistake to assume that users only jump to the FAQ when they are lost, or to look at one specific question. I know I don't.
In my humble opinion, an FAQ is an integral part of good navigation and presentation for many sites, if only because many users see it as a norm. In the same way as having your logo hyperlink back to your home page, FAQs are part of the fabric of the internet and they should be there because people expect they will be there. They provide a safe and easy place to get an overview of what a company or product does, as well as answers to individual questions. For me, as a user, they are often the first port of call, not the last resort when I get frustrated by unanswered questions.
I'd be interested to hear more research on how they are actually used, but I want to tell you how I often use them, because it's completely different to the purpose they were originally conceived for and how you – I think – perceive them. I very often go straight to the FAQ when I'm browsing something new to me. I do this because I find it often helps me get a flavour for the product or service quickly, and also gives me a great insight into the decision making process. I expect the website copy to tell me the answers to my questions, sure, but the FAQ will tell me the questions too – which saves me some brain ache. Lazy? Probably, but hey, I'm a user, I'll do what the heck I like and if you want my business then you'd better work around it.
Sometimes I don't want to be persuaded, I don't want to be sold to, and I don't even want to give you chance to develop momentum and shove me down your funnel. I just want a simple list of facts and an insight into what other people may be asking, before I decide whether to engage with the website further.
One more small point. FAQs are great for organic search. This absolutely should not be allowed to impact negatively on the user experience, and doesn't need to. But repeating information from elsewhere on a website in an FAQ allows you to utilise the Q&A format to match precisely what users are looking for when they type questions into Google or Bing – which they often do.
I'd have to agree with you that a FAQ that is a REPETITION of previously covered questions, is probably a good idea – for the very reasons you just mentioned. I'd only throw in the caveat that I would still want to ensure the FAQ had links back out to the regular copy for each answer, so that the FAQ Page doesn't become a "dead end." But, yes, given those reservations, I'd definitely have to concede to your point.
That said, how often do you come across what you are describing? I rarely come across FAQ's that operate in that manner. Far more often, the FAQ page is exactly as I described it in the article: a junk drawer and the repository of really valuable persuasive material that should be placed out within the Website's main sales copy.
Also, if you go to the majority of the Top 10 Highest converting websites, you'll find a rather conspicuous absence of FAQs. Not exactly scientific, I admit, but those sites do seem to get along OK without a FAQ…
- Jeff
FAQ's are good for drawing some visitors through Google, but they usually contain junkinfo.
Hi Jeff – quite often, although smooth links back to the main funnel are rare. Because of the way I use them that doesn't bother me so much most of the time, but it's a good idea.
It's true that many FAQs are rubbish, or badly written, or contain spammy text written only for SEO, or many other faults. But these things are also true of many product pages and even home pages, and no-one thinks the solution is that we shouldn't have those! Just because lots of people do something badly doesn't mean it's a bad idea to do it well.
[...] Sexton makes the case against FAQs this week on the blog at the marketing site [...]
Very good post, spot on and original
Our FAQ page links back to the content of our site for each subject.
Customers have become smart these days.Hiding answers gives them a straight forward impression that there is some sort of lack of quality or value in the product you are selling and may result in loss of sales.Your main page should answer all the questions to make your customers get directly involved in the sales process..
Just a quick correction to an earlier comment I made regarding a lack of FAQ pages on the Top 10 highest converting Websites. What you find when you go through the Websites of the Top 10 Highest Converting online businesses, is that they are increasingly using their footers to serve as a sort of FAQ Directory, and that clicking on the Customer Service link will take you to a page where customer service info is often dispensed in a Q&A format, often under the title of "Frequently Asked Questions." Is this the same as the kind of FAQ page I describe in my article? I'd say it isn't, because the questions are all customer service related, and not a grab-bag of questions. But on a strictly technical sense, these sites do have content labeled FAQ, making my earlier comment at least partially inaccurate.
- Jeff
With one big client I spent a lot of time listening in to customer service calls. I learned 2 things:
1) Every session was worthwhile in learning more about the motivations and concerns of potential customers.
2) A lot of their concerns and questions were not product-related – more to do with convenience issues like parking at our locations, payment options, etc.
"FAQ is basically a junk drawer; you're shoving stuff there because you haven't taken the time to find a proper home for it" -Ive never really thought about it like that before, but I think you are right. It's lazy using a FAQ on a website. Each questions should be worked into the sales process to make sure the customers questions are answered. If its not a frequently asked question, then do you need to bring it up on the site?!
I'm not sure I totally agree with you because if a FAQ page is done and implemented correctly is can be an easy source information to the potential customer. The key to it is not to have a link in some obscure place that simply says FAQ. I prefer to have a drop down list of common questions and as straight forward answers as possible. With over 5000 items for sale adding a lot of the information that doesn't directly relate to the product in question would make scrolling and absolute nightmare and if I put it to low nobody would find it anyhow. I think this is more of a case of how it's done than anything. I see to many people try to jam keywords and links into their FAQ's to make them worthwhile to the customer.
I disagree with your assessment of FAQ pages. I often recommend adding them to my clients' websites. The search engines love them, and visitors do too. They invariable get a lot of hits.
It's easy to add lots of good quality content to your website with a well-done FAQ page. It's an opportunity to reiterate key facts, features and benefits. The content will be chock-full of keywords. And it can answer any objections or concerns your prospects may have.
The FAQ page shouldn't be a place where visitors have to search, hoping to find answers to their questions. Rather it's a way to provide information, much of it complementary to your other pages, in a format that many people find easy to read — QA style.
Sorry, can't agree with you on the pothole theory. I see FAQs as just another smooth road that ultimately can lead prospects to the BUY NOW button.
@Susan: I think you just proved Jeff Sexton's point when you say FAQ's "get a lot of hits"….the entire point of his article is that if the only place the key information is to be found is in the FAQ then it's an indication of failure on the part of the site as a whole. The FAQ ought to be the failsafe for otherwise losing a visitor, not the first line of customer presentation.
Of course, I'm sure the FAQs *you* write are gems of literature.
But Sexton correctly points out that the FAQ must mirror information that should be readily available elsewhere on the site — it should be a secondary search-for-info mechanism not a primary, and as such its traffic numbers need to be lower than the corresponding information found elsewhere.
And, look at the actual paths people take. Do they go immediately to your FAQ? that's because you've trained them to since the active window's copy clearly isn't compelling enough to answer their questions.
Do they come to the site, bounce all over the place and then land on the FAQ? In this case, the FAQ is doing its job of "saving the sale" but this also gives a tremendously valuable clue that the bouncing around indicated inability to discover vital info.
If you're still in doubt, I propose a modest test: send 10% of your client site's traffic to a new version of the site, one in which the ONLY content is the FAQ, and track conversion.
I think I know which version will win. Are you confident enough in your FAQ writing skills to take the challenge?
@ WRiter Way: Sexton is NOT making the point against FAQs — did you really read his post all the way thru? — he's pointing out that most companies use the FAQ lieka broom closet for "couldn't find any other place on my site to put this info". Jeff isn't saying FAQs are the problem, but rather than appropriate use of a FAQ is part of the solution.
Yes, it might be possible to answer all the questions on different pages instead of trying to stuff them all into the FAQ page but the problem is that people instinctively look for the FAQ page. Of course, once they find it, most of them do not bother to read it completely. But it is almost like they expect to see it there and expect to see all the answers there. Plus, it might not be possible to answer every question via web copy especially if, like us, you are selling services as opposed to products.
If I'm exploring a new site-especially a new service and I don't see a nice big button for FAQ, I click out 50% of the time. I really don't have time to explore all the pages of marketing talk to make my decision.
Give me one central place to find my answers. So, improve on the FAQ page, but please don't take it away!
[...] articolo originale: FAQ Page = A Sign Warning Drivers of Potholes [...]
[...] Do you have important content that is hidden away? [...]
I still disagree with this. Every time I read F.A.Q. pages I already know the answers to the questions. Still looking for MY answer, I find myself at the bottom of the list every time. Then it's off to another site.

Incredible strff!
In some extent,FAQ pages are good for attracting some visitors. However, the contents
on the pages are not always useful.
The check list of FAQ page in this article is very useful there are many thing that I have to change in my website's FAQ page.
I never thought of a FAQ page being a negative thing. Although I do not 100% agree with your post you make many valid points.
I just want to add that it will be helpful to constantly analyze what customers are looking for on the web site. Also having a well design search control that stands out. Some FAQ pages are too boring and users prefer to search instead.
I never thought about the FAQ page like this, but you are completely correct. I am going to go change a couple pages now.
FAQ pages seem more like holdovers from the internet 1.0. Even then, they are mostly made up!
I still disagree with this. Every time I read F.A.Q. pages I already know the answers to the questions. Still looking for MY answer, I find myself at the bottom of the list every time. Then it's off to another site.
Good points. And also when sales copy answers all of these questions, a lot of customers will recognize how thoroughly you handle details and gain a greater trust in your product.

A local festival dodged the rain this past weekend as it drew large crowds for its activities on Friday and Saturday.
The Uniopolis Jamboree, the mid-summer event, is the major fundraiser for the Uniopolis Fire Department's budget, and firefighter Sam Blank said that the money will fund their budget for the year. This year the proceeds from the event will go toward updating equipment.
"The money is used for repairs, and for new equipment," Blank said. "Outdated equipment needs to be replaced."
WAYNESFIELD – Waynesfield Village Council members voted Friday to add a new officer to the local police force — a K-9.
After many councilors expressed uncertainty at a meeting Monday and tabled the issue, they evidently gathered the information they needed as the proposal from Police Chief Nathan Motter passed Friday with a unanimous vote.
Mildred M. Craft, of Wapakoneta, died Sunday, July 31, 2011, at her residence.
Arrangements are incomplete at Bayliff & Eley Funeral Home in Wapakoneta.
Jack J. Emrick, 45, of Wapakoneta, died at 1:25 p.m., Saturday, July 30, 2011, at the Lima Memorial Health System emergency room from injuries sustained in an accident at his home site near Wapakoneta.
He was born Feb. 7, 1966, in Lima, the son of Ruth (Thuman) and James Walker Emrick. His mother survives in Wapakoneta, and his father died April 19, 2011. He is also survived by his partner Lisa Bowman.
BEREA (AP) — Two days into training camp, rookie Greg Little has moved up the Cleveland Browns' depth chart.
The wide receiver made the most of getting the opportunity Sunday under new coach Pat Shurmur while three key receivers sat out.
Josh Cribbs missed the second half of drills, his left knee wrapped in ice. Mohamed Massaquoi still had his right foot in a cast. Tight end Ben Watson watched after sustaining a concussion Saturday.
Shurmur said it all means that Little will get a chance in the new West Coast offense.
CHICAGO — Every day presents a new challenge for Ohio State interim coach Luke Fickell.
Thursday's big surprise was facing a swarm of media members — he was expecting just to give a speech at a luncheon. After all, this was his first time here.
But questions keep coming and he had to react.
Fences and gates have been erected.
Mobile homes and house trailers sit parked inside the east gate, connected to the electric posts.
Crews work in the barns, readying them for the steers, cows, hogs, chickens, rabbits and a list of other animals.
Near the midway, three young girls carry a section of fence with their fair club's name, Star Spangled Clovers, across the front. Lauren Klopfenstein, Emma Davis and Danica Zink move the prop Friday from a vehicle in the parking lot into the Junior Fair Building at the Auglaize County Fairgrounds.
Any school days to be made up during the next two school years will be tacked on at the end of the year.
A revision to Wapakoneta City Schools calendar for 2011-12 and 2012-13 was approved this week eliminating make-up days on both President's Day and Martin Luther King Day and instead transferring those days, originally scheduled to be used as make-up days as needed, to the end of the school year.
For the 2011-12 school year, students are scheduled to start on Aug. 24 with the last day planned for May 25. The 2012-13 school year is to begin for students on Aug. 28 and end May 31.
NEW KNOXVILLE — The shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which has halted construction projects across the nation, is having little impact on the local airport.
On Tuesday, the FAA shutdown forced the entity to furlough 4,000 workers and suspend $2.5 billion in airport construction linked to federal grants. While the Neil Armstrong Airport in New Knoxville receives federal grants from the FAA, the shutdown is not currently impacting the facility.

Greetings, update readers...
Today, a brief deconstruction of Sunday's Post Hunt, which drew so many people that we're now worried about the mixed blessing of its continued popularity: Is there a tipping point in attendance beyond which the thing becomes unmanageable? We're not sure how much more o' this we can take, cap'n. But it's a nice problem to have. We may well have had 14,000 of you out there. The Hunt essentially consumed Federal Washington.
(Here are the Hunt puzzles, with explanations, newly updated with video.)
We think we hit a milestone this year: the largest percentage of hunters in memory told us that they solved all five Big Puzzles (seems like a third or more of the teams did it.) This actually pleases us. We like those Big Puzzles to be challenging but gettable, so that many teams still have a shot at winning, right up to the EndGame. We will try for similar difficult levels next year, if there is a next year. (We never outright predict it until the budget's been approved.)
The first Big Lesson I learned from this Hunt was that, contrary to my past assertions in the chat, there is at least one living Jewish woman named "Kathleen." She is Kathleen (Cooperstein) Neace, and I met her at The Hunt and interrogated her to my satisfaction, and then hugged her. Confirmed. Another cultural barrier broken in an unafraid world. Now we need to find a Jewish "Antwaan." Please search and report back.
The second Big Lesson I learned is that life is infinitely rewarding. After being introduced to the three most excellent pirates, for the Pirates Puzzle, I joked to pirate #2 ("Boney Ed"), who wore a very realistic eyepatch, that I'm afraid he'd never be authentic to me unless he could show me he had no eyeball under that patch. Coolly, wordlessly, he flipped up the eyepatch AND flipped me out. I acknowledge authenticity.
(This reminded me of a supposedly true but probably apocryphal story. A famous gambler is facing The Kid, a brash young upstart who arrives to take his money. After two hours of card playing, the kid is down to his last $500, and is looking shaken. The gambler says, "Okay, listen, kid. I want to give you a break here. I'll push my whole pot into the middle of the table, against your measly $500. The bet is that I can touch my left eyeball to that deck of cards on the table, and that I can do it without appreciably moving either my head or those cards. The kid considered this, and pushed in his last $500. At this point, the gambler plucks his glass eye out, lays it on the deck of cards. The kid goes white. Then the gambler says, "Okay, kid. Listen. I noticed you drove up in a nice new Cadillac. I'll bet you my whole pot against your wheels that I can now do that exact same thing with my other eye. The kid, trembling, just stands up, and slowly starts to back out of the room. And as he leaves, the gambler calls after him: "You're not a real gambler, kid. THAT bet you should have taken.")
The third Big Lesson I learned from The Hunt is that you can never be too careful. There is a God of Hunts, and he has a really nasty sense of humor. He might drink too much.
We try to be really careful about anything inadvertently confusing that might appear in the magazine, or out in the streets. This year we were pretty sure we were safe. We weren't.
The EndGame this year pivoted on the pirate word "swag." It was a complicated clue that would lead people on a complicated journey. It was only after the Hunt that we discovered a small snarl: A woman came up to me to say, uh, did you know that "Swag" was an answer to 8-across in that day's Crossword Puzzle in the magazine?
Uh. No. We hadn't known. We had looked at the crossword puzzle CLUES, and there was nothing dangerous -- nothing pirate-themed, for example -- but we had not thought to SOLVE them. The 8-Across clue was "Convention Freebies" and the answer was, yes, SWAG.
Now, WE know that we would not have expected hunters to have solved the crossword -- we'd consider that unfair, without an appropriate hint -- but YOU didn't necessarily know that. Had we been forewarned, we'd either have subbed in a new crossword, or we would have told hunters to ignore the crossword. For any of you who were confused by this (we know of at least two such teams) ... oops, and we're sorry.
There was one other minor glitch: Several people reported that once they figured out they had to make a phone call to start the EndGame, they got busy signals before finally getting through. It's true -- there's apparently a bandwidth-type problem with outgoing-message-only phone lines. We're estimating that about 20 people can get through at a time before the busy signals begin, so the quickest on the draw had a bit of a time advantage. We'll try to deal with this in the future, but we don't consider it a dreadful problem for the simple reason that the quickest on the draw SHOULD have a bit of a time advantage.
We know you know about the unprecedented results of this Hunt -- for the first time in 30 years (The first Miami Hunt was 1984), that a Hunt was won by a single person, acting alone. It goes against everything we've always advised; namely, that hive thinking tends to work the best. So, clearly, we're still learning. We still advise team play, but the solitary genius clearly has a shot as well.
And finally, I would like to abandon all shame and disclose the pathetically flat slope of my personal learning curve. On the days of the Hunt, and no other days of my life, I do a remarkable amount of walking; it's pretty much nonstop, from site to site to keep an eye on things. I'm guessing 6-7 miles over the five hours that Hunt and Hunt-prep require. I always wear jeans. By the end, there has always been some Upper Thigh Chafing. My wife has kindly noted that by hour five, I am walking bow-legged, "like you have a load in your pants."
I have always regarded this as an unfortunate but unavoidable physical byproduct of the Hunt -- the way early astronauts, cramped for hours into tin-can sized capsules, would emerge hunched over like early hominids, or apes.
This year, for the first time, I thought to ditch the jeans and wear softer cotton pants. No chafing! Please note, for what it is worth, that it has taken me 29 years to learn this lesson.
By the way, we have this fine URANUS BUTT and this nonpareil GIANT PILE OF POOP left over from the last two Hunts. We are considering auctioning them off for charity. Any thoughts on how?
Submit your questions to Gene's monthly chat here. It is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, June 25 at noon. If you submitted a question for today's update, there is no need to resubmit. Thank you.

NORTH SMITHFIELD ŌĆö There shouldnŌĆÖt be any tricks left, no alarms and no surprises when Central Falls ventures to North Smithfield for a game that will decide one-half of the Super Bowl field.
The two Division IV schools, less than 13 miles apart, met up a mere 2 ┬Į weeks ago with the host Northmen grounding the high-octane Warriors by a 27-6 score. TuesdayŌĆÖs 7 p.m. kickoff will see the sides converge on a much bigger stage, meeting in the semifinals at the Northmen Athletic Complex.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆö If the old adage ŌĆ£defense wins championshipsŌĆØ is indeed true, then Cumberland and Chariho should be in prime shape to win their next two playoff games and take home the coveted Division II championship next Sunday.
Both teams finished 1-2 in the 16-team league with the fewest points allowed in division play (the Chargers yielded 73, the Clippers 77), and thanks to their exceptional defenses, either squad hasnŌĆÖt lost a game since September.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆö The Cumberland High wrestling team opens practice today without returning state runner-up Erik Travers, who has become a key member of the football team this season.
The Cumberland gridders are scheduled to visit Chariho on Tuesday night in a Division II semifinal contest. Travers, a 5-foot-8, 150-pound junior, will start at cornerback on defense and halfback on offense.
Some things I think I think:
Is it possible the spread offense and its numerous variations have run their course at the high school football level?
Sure seemed that way during Wednesday nightŌĆÖs Tolman-Shea game when neither team looked efficient on offense in a 7-0 Tigers victory. Both teams appeared to be mirror images of one another on offense as they operated out of the shotgun on almost every play, blending in elements of the spread and wildcat formations, sending backs into motion on almost every play.
With its dominating 35-6 victory on Thursday, Cumberland High put a halt to a four-game winning streak by Woonsocket in the annual Thanksgiving Day contest. The Clippers continued their hot streak and momentum for their upcoming Division II semifinal tilt at Chariho Regional this Tuesday night with their seventh straight victory.
FOSTER -- HereŌĆÖs a strange, but true fact: heading into its Thanksgiving Day duel with Burrillville, Ponaganset had lost its last four games, and seven of its last eight, at home on The Reservation.
But the Chieftains silenced their home woes and a four-game losing streak on Thursday by riding a solid effort from their senior class to a 27-0 victory over the Broncos before a large gathering.
WOONOCKET ŌĆō Chris Skurka had no intention on letting up.
Despite a more important playoff game early next week, the Cumberland High coach planned to have his red-hot squad go full throttle against Woonsocket in their annual Thanksgiving Day contest.
He lied. Well, sort of.
The Clippers scored four times in the first quarter, found the end zone again in the second quarter and gave the reserves some ample playing time after halftime in cruising to a 35-6 rout of the Villa Novans on Thursday morning.
CENTRAL FALLS ŌĆō There was no slippage or signs of letup. For playoff-bound Central Falls, it was simply full speed ahead.
ThursdayŌĆÖs 34-0 holiday win against Lincoln High was just what C.F. head coach Mo Jackson was looking for. His Warriors raced to a commanding 27-0 halftime lead behind three touchdown passes from quarterback Brandon Canuto, who completed 9-of-11 passes for 247 yards.
SCITUATE --- Scituate made it interesting and competitive for a full quarter, but the winless Spartans ended up becoming nothing more than a minor speed bump in North SmithfieldŌĆÖs drive to the Division IV regular-season title.
The visiting Northmen erased a first-quarter deficit by erupting for 28 second-quarter points and cruising to a 60-13 rout at Caito Field that iced the squadŌĆÖs first regular-season championship in its 44-year existence.
When it comes to Thanksgiving Day and sports, the one thing that comes to most people's mind is football with the traditional high school games that are played each year and the NFL tripleheader that annually features the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions in two of the respective contests.
According to accomplished race director Charlie Breagy, Turkey Day is a popular holiday for another sport, too.
ŌĆ£It's the biggest running day in America,ŌĆØ he confirmed. ŌĆ£I guess a lot of people do it because they know they are going to eat a big dinner later.ŌĆØ

Population and Poverty
Economic Impact of Population Dynamics
There is clear evidence that enabling people to have
fewer children, if they want to, helps to stimulate
development and reduce poverty, both in individual
households and at the macro-economic level.
FAMILY SIZE AND WELL-BEING. Recent research supports
the premise that having many (and unplanned
for) children imposes a heavy burden on the poor,
while smaller families have higher upward economic
Fertility impacts on a family's poverty in several ways:
MACRO-ECONOMIC IMPACT. High fertility impedes
development in a variety of ways. The World Health
Organization (WHO) Commission on Macroeconomics
and Health noted in 2001, "At the societal level, rapid
rural population growth in particular puts enormous
stress on the physical environment and on food productivity
as land-labour ratios in agriculture decline.
Desperately poor peasants are then likely to crowd
cities, leading to very high rates of urbanization, with
additional adverse consequence in congestion and in
declining urban capital per person."
Lower fertility, on the other hand, is linked to
economic gains. A 2001 study of 45 countries found
that if these countries had reduced fertility by 5
births per 1,000 people in the 1980s, the average
national incidence of poverty of 18.9 per cent in the
mid-1980s would have been reduced to 12.6 per cent
between 1990 and 1995.(3)
At the time of Cairo, econometric proof of this
"population effect" on economic growth was difficult
to obtain, and mainstream economists tended to dismiss
it or play down its importance. A 1986 study by
the National Research Council in the United States(4)
concluded that population growth had little or no
effect on overall economic growth, despite its important effects at the household level; but it relied on
data from the 1960s and 1970s, when many developing
countries were early in their demographic transition.
THE DEMOGRAPHIC WINDOW. A new round of
research in the mid-1990s,(5) using data from longer
periods, showed clearly that falling fertility opens
a "demographic window" of economic opportunity.
With fewer dependent children relative to the workingage
population, countries can make additional
investments which can spur economic growth and
help reduce poverty.
This window opens only once and closes as populations
age and the ratio of dependants (children and
the elderly) eventually starts to rise again.
Several countries in East Asia—the so-called Asian
Tigers—and a few others have taken advantage of this
economic bonus. China has seen a dramatic drop in
the incidence of poverty.(6) One study estimated that declining fertility in Brazil has raised the annual
growth of GDP per capita by 0.7 percentage points.
Mexico and other Latin American countries have
registered similar effects. On the other hand, some
countries have largely squandered the opportunity
for a one-time "windfall" because of a lack of good
governance or policies that have led to unproductive
In the poorest countries where fertility remains
high, the demographic window will not open for some
time, but investments now—particularly in improving
reproductive health service delivery—could
hasten its arrival and ensure future dividends.
The world's regions are at different stages of the
demographic transition. South Asia will reach its
peak ratio of working-age to dependent-ages between
2015 and 2025. In Latin America and the Caribbean,
the proportion in working ages started to increase
earlier than in East Asia and will peak during 2020-2030, but the proportional change has been less
marked, and the economic bonus will be correspondingly
less sudden and less intense. Some Arab and
Central Asian countries will approach their demographic
opportunity within two decades, while others
are farther away.
In much of sub-Saharan Africa the demographic
bonus is still a long way off. The population is still
very young and the proportion in working ages relatively
low. Many countries are just beginning the
demographic transition, and others have not even
started. Only 11 countries are projected to reach their
maximum working-age proportion before 2050. Unmet
need for contraception in the region is high, however,
suggesting the expansion of quality programmes could
hasten the arrival of the bonus.
The ICPD recognized that ill health and unplanned births can determine whether a family falls into or escapes poverty, as the
poor themselves have long known. But policy makers have been slow to address the inequitable distribution of health information and services that helps keep people poor.
An analysis of data on access to reproductive
health among different income groups in 56 countries shows that the
poorest groups are clearly disadvantaged, in a number of ways:
These findings corroborate those presented in The State of World Population 2002 which examined data from 44 countries.
Shortages of resources, skills, opportunities and outreach deprive the poor of access to
reproductive health information and services and the effects are apparent.
The information and service deficits result from various factors:
In 2000, only 3 per cent of gross domestic product was devoted to the
health sector in developing countries; in the least-developed countries the figure
was even lower. Expenditures in many countries still tend to favour hospitals and
medical facilities in the capital city, and there has been little progress towards
more equitable distribution of resources at local levels: the percentage of national
health expenditures devoted to local health services has stagnated in developing countries
and decreased in the least developed. See Sources

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is by far this worst high school I have ever seen. I will surely be taking my children out of the school. If you are considering this school unless its your last and only option steer clear from Hillcrest High School. A child's education is not their number one priority.
They do not care about their students unless you are a teacher's kid, student council or member of the football team. I know from personal experience with one child on Student Council for 4 years and had a good experience. 2nd child comes through and a totally different experience. Administration is too caught up in "district policy" than to look at the student as a person. As a result they are diminishing slowly my childs next step to go to college. My child said to me one day. "This school must not want me to learn" because he was refused access to see his teacher before school for extra help. This had been prearranged with the parent.
I went here all four years, it is true that if you are not involved in the right programs you will not have help when you need it. I caught on to that quick and became members in a lot of the programs. Teachers do not even try to control the classrooms because no one listens. You do not have as big of a problem with that if you are taking AP classes. There were many fights, gang violence and drug issues. We would be on lockdown for hours waiting for the drug dogs to make there run through the classrooms. I hear how amazing the school used to be years ago but that is not the case anymore. Graduating was the best thing that has ever happened to me and I am so thankful that I do not have to go there anymore.
I went to Hillcrest for one year and never felt safe there once. Fights broke out everyday, students smoked and participated in sexual activitys and others threatened to bring guns and knifes. The school isn't safe, the teachers do not care and you are a fool to send your kid there. Whatever kind of disciplinary system they have seems to not exist. How can you learn with 30 people in a class room with you're sitting on the floor and the teacher is constantly yelling at other students? There's no money for books or desks, I went the entire semester without my history book and no one cared. Do you really want to go to school here?
I love this school, Im moving this year to another school, and I am very sad to leave. Sprit Week is amazing, and all the teachers are willing to help you in any way they can.
This school, so far, is the best school that I've ever been in; within the past 10 years.

Gary Brown Jr. and Stephen Phillips say they have always wanted to be Texas Department of Public Safety troopers.Brown got his wish more quickly than Phillips.Brown, 28, of Denton, is one of 29 troopers recently graduated from a new eight-week program focused on attracting people with law enforcement experience.Phillips, 45, of Fort Worth, graduated from his 28-week academy class this spring."I always had an interest in law enforcement as a young child," Phillips said. "It just took me 25 years to get it done."DPS officials are in the midst of a recruiting drive, sparked by a funding infusion that Texas lawmakers approved in 2007 to boost pay and help fill hundreds of trooper vacancies.There is no age limit on who can become a trooper, a move by DPS to expand the recruiting pool from which they could draw. As long as applicants can complete the physical and academic requirements, they can become troopers, said Tela Mange, a DPS spokeswoman."We've had someone in their early 50s complete the academy," Mange said. "We've been looking at a number of things for the past couple of years to increase our recruiting. We are drawing from the same pool that other agencies are pulling from, and there are a lot of other agencies hiring."The eight-week course for officers with law enforcement experience also seeks to expand the recruiting pool. The agency has been at a disadvantage in hiring because troopers aren't paid as well as police officers in some Texas cities.Brown worked at the Gainesville Police Department for seven years before applying for a DPS job. He reported to his DPS post in Denton on Aug. 30. An opportunity for rapid advancement is one of the things that attracted him to the DPS, Brown said. At a small department, another seven years might have passed before he had a chance for promotion, Brown said.The eight-week academy was also an attraction for Brown, who said it is a good idea because it keeps officers from having to repeat things they have already learned. However, applicants should be prepared for the physical demands."It was a tough program," he said. "I was doing the P90X workout to get ready. I knew it wasn't going to break me. But still, I lost another 18 pounds during school."Phillips said he had a similar experience with the academy's physical requirements."It was a challenge to keep up with the younger guys sometimes," he said. "But for me, not making it was not an option. From Day One, I knew the only way I would not make it was if they carried me away."Phillips applied for a trooper position after 20 years in the Navy and one year working as a correctional officer with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Phillips said he feels fortunate that the state has given him the opportunity to pursue his dream of becoming a trooper and believes that the agency wants people who want a career, not just a job."My wife and I have been married for 21 years," he said. "She knew I wasn't just going to come home and work at Walmart or something. I've had too much responsibility."Mitch Mitchell, 817-390-7752

Iraqi air force pilots flew a record number of aircraft during
the annual Iraqi Army Day Parade Jan. 6 at the International Zone
in Baghdad.
Iraqi T-6 Texans
Iraqi crews piloted 20 aircraft in 12 fly-overs and aerial
demonstrations over a parade field filled with government officials
from allied nations and Iraqi government leaders, including Prime
Minister Nouri Al Maliki and Lt. Gen. Ahmed Anwar, the Iraqi air
force commander. "This is definitely a significant milestone in the
development of the Iraqi air force," said Capt. Martin Lopez, a
T-6A Texan II instructor pilot assigned to the 52nd Expeditionary
Flying Training Squadron at Coalition Operating Base Speicher in
Tikrit, Iraq. "It demonstrates their increasing capabilities and
movement toward complete air sovereignty."
The T-6, a single-engine turboprop aircraft, is used by the U.S.
Air Force and Iraqi air Force primarily for pilot training,
officials said. It's now playing a significant role in helping
re-establish Iraq's air fleet. "The quality of skill and discipline
of the Iraqis has greatly improved," Captain Lopez said. "They're
taking the training seriously. I've seen improvement since I
arrived in October." American and Iraqi pilots fly together in
training aircraft like the T-6A, featured in the aerial
demonstration during the Iraqi Army Day celebration, he said.
Pilots from Tikrit began the qualification phase of the nearly
year-long training, officials said. The school expects to graduate
16 qualified Iraqi T-6 instructor pilots by the end of the year.
"The objective of our training is to provide a corps of pilots for
a stable, self-sufficient nation," Captain Lopez said. "This record
participation of Iraqi air force aircraft in the Army Day parade
shows we're on track."

Guess Lyrics - Magnapop
By surprise the fragile fluids
That were, seem to dissappear
Behind the eye
In disguise
Or how it ought to
Really ought to be
Like crystal breaking in a spoon
And it's too late
A finger bends another glass
Of fruit
By surprise I finally see the problems in their eyes
Or how it ought to be
Really ought to be
Behind my eyes a different
Set of keys
A figure A to B
Are you mean or do you mean goodbye
Are you clear,
Do you mean goodbye
Then they say to you..??
Say it here
Say it here
A different time you stayed too soon
Or played before I even know
Say it here
Say it here
A candle shows the lack of what I need
To see to be confused
But not to use a better friend
Than you're his he finds he stayed too soon ???
Or played before I even knew
I guess it's just of business now
I guess
Are you clear
Do you mean goodbye
When I say
Say it here
Say it here
Different time you stayed too soon
Or played before I even knew
Are you clear
Say it here

French Fields was the best part of our 2 week stay in NZ. We spent 1 night in the Petite Maison room and it was perfect. Even though we came at the time of year when the lavender was not at its peak it was utterly beautiful sitting on the private balcony with a cup of tea looking over the... More

Imagine being adopted only to have your new family drop you off at a local kill shelter. That was the fate of Vanna, a 10-year-old, short-haired torbie cat, who was rescued once more by Friends for Life - thanks to the microchip that allowed the rescue group to find her.
Despite being abandoned by her previous owners, Vanna remains super-sweet and loves people. She needs a home that will be committed to making her a part of the family. Vanna has lived with cats, but prefers the company of older felines rather than kittens. She also is current on vaccinations, tested negative for FELV/FIV, and is spayed and microchipped.
If you'd like to meet Vanna, contact Friends for Life in downtown Gilbert at (480) 497-8296 or visit www.azfriends.org.
