About Wilco
Wilco Celebrates 20 Years
Happy Anniversary, Wilco! Save for just a handful of September dates, Jeff Tweedy spent most of 2014 with his son performing as Tweedy. But Jeff is back in the fold now that Wilco is in the midst of celebrating its 20th anniversary.
The party is definitely in full swing, as Wilco is playing a string of dates as part of its two-decade party. The (fairly brief) fall tour kicked off at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on October 21, followed by stops in Knoxville, Raleigh and Port Chester, New York. And for those who couldn't make it to a show, the band booked a gig on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" on October 27th, performing "A Magazine Called Sunset" (from 2003) and "Cars Can't Escape" (a song that was a web exclusive).
In addition to the live gigs, Wilco is celebrating with the release of two new collections rolling out November 17th in North America and December 1 worldwide. The first, "Alpha Mike Foxtrot" is a 4-CD/4-LP/Digital box set of rare studio and live recordings straight from the band's audio archives. The second, "What's Your 20" is a 2-CD/Digital compilation of tracks culled from the band's previously released studio recordings.
Through a release on its website, Wilco announced that "Alpha Mike Foxtrot" pre-orders would include a free instant download of "A Magazine Called Sunset." In addition, fans who pre-order on Kung Fu (the official Wilco store) will be entered into a weekly drawing for prizes that include tickets to a residency show, a pair of Solid Sound passes, hotel accommodations, and a special collection of Wilco merchandise from the past 20 years.
Tweedy Goes Solo (Updated 12/6/2013)
Back on November 26, Jeff Tweedy performed a solo show at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City. For the frontman of Wilco, it was a rather intimate setting that truly showcased his lyrics. And though the local press wondered if it was a bit of risk for someone not known as a classic singer/songwriter, it played well and spoke, perhaps, to Tweedy's chameleon-like ability to adapt to the stage and the environment.
Tweedy, in fact, is doing the one-man-band act completely different from Wilco's musical flair and its stage shows. These songs and his performances are of the stripped down, bare bones variety. In all, on this tour, he will run through nearly two dozen songs a night mostly drawn from his Wilco catalog, but a few from other projects. Fans will hear tracks like "Solitaire" and "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart."
Another thing that has become a staple of Tweedy's tour, which runs through December 19, is his unkempt appearance (jeans, rumpled shirt, wild hair and a bit of scruff) and his back-and-forth banter with his feisty fans. In between he commands their attention by revisiting side projects like Golden Smog and the song "Long Time Ago" or Loose Fur and "Chinese Apple." At the KC appearance he even placed a couple tracks by Uncle Tupelo, the band that preceded Wilco.
Tweedy's solo tour continues with stops in Denver, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Santa Barbara and a four-night run in Los Angeles, wrapping up at Largo at the Coronet.
A History of Wilco tickets
It's difficult to categorize Wilco, and that's a good thing. Alt-rock, alt- country, indie rock?the band's sound changes from album to album, concert to concert. That's just fine with the band's millions of fans, who embrace Wilco's musical adventurism and inspiration from so many genres. Buying Wilco tickets guarantees a night of interesting, thoughtful, broad-based music, though what specifically it will sound like is not predictable.
Risen from the ashes of Wilco's predecessor, the alt-country band Uncle Tupelo, Wilco is led by frontman Jeff Tweedy. Former Uncle Tupelo bassist John Stirratt, drummer Ken Coomer and multi-instrumentalist Max Johnston joined Tweedy and released their first album, A.M., in 1995. Since then, Wilco has steadily built its reputation, discography and collection of Grammy Awards with eight more album releases, including Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002), Sky Blue Sky (2007), and their most recent recording Get Well Soon Everybody.
No Telling What You'll Get
With Wilco tickets, you'll definitely hear some country sounds, some hints of 1970s rock, and folk. You might also recognize echoes of the Beach Boys, and you might be treated to some free jazz or just walls of noise rock. That's one of the things Wilco fans love about the band: It doesn't allow itself to be pigeonholed or constrained by mainstream music categories. It's also one of the reasons music lovers and music critics keep heaping praise on this unusual collection of musicians.
Wilco Announces 'Wilco Winterlude' in Chicago
American alt-rock legends Wilco are celebrating their 20th anniversary with the release of two archival box sets: Alpha Mike Foxtrot and What's Your 20. The former is comprised of 77 rare studio and live recordings, while the latter is a greatest hits collection scraped from the band's eight studio albums. Both are available now for…Read more

Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday, December 12
Tony George
Portland - 3
Hot home court for the upstart Trail Blazers on TNT tonight, and they have been money whenever they get a TNT game at home, going 5-0 SU and ATS the last 5 times! They host the Houston Rockets in this one, and this will be the marquee game of the day in Pro Hoops.
This should be a shootout tonight as the Blazers in their last 5 games are averaging 111 ppg and the Rockets pumping in 101 ppg in the same time frame.An interesting dynamic that goes against Portland here, is they have had a tough time with Houston in the Rose Garden, as Houston is 5-0-1 ATS the last 6 meetings in here and the over has cashed out the last 4 in a row between these two.
Houston's weakness is defense, however their last two opponents were held to 85 ppg, but Portland at home is a different animal and at days end I think the Trail Blazers, who are 16-6 ATS their last 22 games, rise to the occasion in a building where they have won 10 out of 12 games straight up, and get the job done tonight. Bear in mind one of those home losses was back on November 5th when Houston came in here and beat Portland 116 - 101 so revenge is a motivating factor on Portland side as well.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Alexis The Right Equipment I have a young man ten (10) just learning to play golf. Nowhere could I find him golf shoes until I found Dick's here on-line. The shoes are a prefect fit, and improve his confidence and game. Thank you for helping me help make a young man happy. Donald Drewry also seen at www.duioffice.com November 19, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5�by Johns grandma GREAT GOLF SHOE FOR KIDS I love these golf shoes for my grandson. The black color is wonderful. They are so nice and comfy for him. Great looking shoe. These make him feel and look like a pro golfer. If you want a great pair of golf shoes then these are just that and more. April 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Paul7777 Great Golf Shoe for Juniors Very pleased with shoe, some manufacturers don't carry a size 1 for Juniors. This is the first Golf Shoe for my Grandson, since he just moved to size 1. He's a serious golfer at age 7 and this shoe works great. We love the style, and the fact you can change the color of the "Nike Check Mark" on the shoe, with colored inserts. There are 8 different colors available, to match the golfers clothes. Its like having eight shoes for the price of one. January 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Wendy, Avid Golfer Good quality and comfort for the price. The Sales Associate we dealt with at Dicks was very knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and professional. The golf shoes were delivered to our door one week later with several e-mail updates regarding the status of the order. Service is rated "excellent". Thank you. I've already used the shoes to play 20 rounds of golf, walking the coarse. Very comfortable. February 29, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by John Doe Spikes Cannot Be Changed These shoes do not have replaceable spikes. My son has worn out the spikes on this shoe in less than a year. I'm now searching for a good shoe with replaceable spikes so he can where them long enough to actually grow out of them instead of just wearing out the spikes in a short time and have to purchase new shoes. I absolutely do not recommend these shoes to anybody. March 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Medley No Regrets! Bought this shoe for my son. He is 7 and he LOVES it! Yhe color change option is awesome I actually wish they had adults that did the same.... quality shoe that is definitely worth the money! If I had to do it again I would still choose this one... No Regrets! July 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by groberts68 Great first Shoe I bought this golf shoe for my 11 year old son who is just learning golf. The shoe is very comfortable. He also likes that he can switch out the colors of the swoosh to match his shirts. January 2, 2014

The Boks should know there are no finite laws at the breakdown except for the laws perceived by the matchday referee, says JON CARDINELLI.
After Saturday's defeat in Wellington, Peter de Villiers said the Boks would need to cheat if they were going to keep up with the All Blacks' questionable tactics. Captain John Smit had a go at opposite number, Richie McCaw, after the All Blacks No 7 infringed regularly in the Cake Tin Test. The pair were in an agreement that referee Alain Rolland could have punished the Kiwis to a greater degree.
De Villiers and Smit have short memories. Last June, the Boks were accused of illegal tactics. Ball-stealing specialist Heinrich Brussow was vilified by British & Irish Lions coach Ian McGeechan for his tendency to ride the tackle or position himself on the wrong side of the ruck. And if I remember correctly, Brussow was hailed by his coaches and team-mates as a key player in not only that series, but in the subsequent Tri-Nations triumph as well.
According to the laws, which favoured defensive sides in 2009, McGeechan was in the wrong. Brussow's technique and ability to push the envelope played into South Africa's favour. The bottom line is that Brussow and his team-mates adapted better to the change in laws, and the same could be said of McCaw and the All Blacks in the 2010 Tri-Nations.
McCaw is always pushing the boundaries, but he only pushes as far as the referee will allow. In the modern game, teams prepare for the referee, and need to pick up his management style in the opening quarter and adapt accordingly. While the Bulls and Stormers adapted well in the Super 14, the Boks are behind the All Blacks in this respect.
Most referees have relaxed their stance on the new law interpretations at the breakdown. In the earlier stages of the Super 14, officials were merciless in their application of a law that prescribes forward momentum for the attacking team. Towards the end of that tournament and in the last two months of Test rugby, referees are no longer as strict on the defending team.
It's something Eddie Jones predicted when the laws were first introduced. Jones told this website he expected good defending teams to adapt, but he also expected referees to relax their application of the law as the Sanzar tournament wore on.
It hasn't helped South Africa's cause to have two northern hemisphere referees in their first two Tri-Nations Tests, as Alan Lewis and Alain Rolland aren't exactly clued up on the new interpretations. Lewis battled to keep up with the flow of play and missed a host of infringements in the first Test, while Rolland allowed the All Blacks to slow the ball in the second match in Wellington.
A good side, however, would have adapted to the referee's style in the opening quarter, and this is where the Boks fell short. They committed too few players at the breakdown which allowed the likes of McCaw to get their mitts on the ball.
It's not something that's limited to the Tri-Nations, as John Mitchell admitted after the Lions 32-0 defeat to WP last Saturday. Province were lucky to get away with holding onto the ball-carrier, and in some instances competing on the deck for longer than is normally permitted. The Lions lost a lot of possession, as WP began to dominate as the match wore on.
Mitchell lamented his side's failure to adapt to the referee's management style rather than lament a poor refereeing performance. In a complicated sport where the application of complicated laws is subjective, you need to be able to adapt, and the sooner the Boks accept this fact, the better.

PORTLAND -- One of the biggest cats ever seen by staff arrived at the Oregon Humane Society arrived Thursday night.
After his previous owners moved, 29-pound 'Stuie' was being taken care of by a foster parent. Now the shelter is working on finding him a new home.
Obese cats are no laughing matter, and we will give a free case of low-calorie cat food and a laser pointer for exercise to whoever adopts Stuie, said OHS executive director Sharon Harmon in a news release to KGW.
Approximately 53 percent of cats in America are considered to be overweight, according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention.
Overweight cats are a growing problem in the United States and cats are especially at risk for a number of disorders such as feline diabetes.
Officials warn weight loss plans for cats need to be approached carefully and should be monitored by a veterinarian.

FOSTER – One morning Brookview Elementary School counselor Gena Godby saw two students, Garrett Wilson and Anthony Jarrell, selling hand-made bracelets at the school and wanted to know what was going on.
"I approached them and asked them, 'Why are you selling these bracelets?'" Godby said.
Godby said when Garrett answered, she was overwhelmed.
"He said his father had passed away from cancer and Hospice had helped him and his family, so he wanted to raise money to help Hospice and honor his dad," she said.
The goal of the two boys was to buy a brick and a leaf in the Hospice Hubbard House building in honor of Garrett's dad, Terry Lee Wilson, and to give the remaining funds to Hospice as a donation.
"My dad's nickname was Wild Eye," Garrett said. "He really loved his garage and he would let Anthony and I come in and do stuff with him. We loved looking at all the old stuff he had in there. He had an old toy, a Tonka truck, from when he was a little boy and I liked working on it and playing with it with him. He also loved his dog, Chloe."
"He showed us how to weld, paint, fix bikes and work on stuff," Anthony said. "He was my friend too."
While Wilson was in Hospice care, Anthony made him a black and white bracelet.
"He really liked it," Garrett said.
Garrett and Anthony are neighbors and best friends. Garrett is 10-years-old and in the fourth-grade at Brookview and Anthony is 11 and in the fifth-grade.
The boys learned how to make them after seeing a television commercial about making bracelets and jewelry.
"We got stuff from the store so we could make them," Anthony said.
After making a few, they brought them to school to begin selling them.
"By the second day, there we tons of kids waiting at the door to get one," Garrett said. "One kid I promised one to just jumped on my back as soon as I got to school. He was so excited to get it."
Other students began making bracelets and giving them to the boys to sell or selling them and giving the boys the money.
"This was a wonderful way for the other students to help Garrett honor his father and help him with his grieving," said Godby. "Teachers were also buying them as well. The entire school got behind this effort. We saw Garrett using these bracelets in a positive way to deal with his grief and honor his love for his father, his family, his friends and Hospice."
They boys raised $544.
"They said that it costs lots of money to stay at the Hospice Hubbard House, so I want to help people so they can help them the way they helped my dad and my family," Garrett said.
At a ceremony last week, the boys brought the money they raised to Hospice and lots of bracelets for the patients. They were able to get the brick and the leaf in honor of Garrett's dad and make some new friends as well.
"One lady was really sweet, and she just grabbed my hand and said, 'God bless you,'" Garrett said. "It made me feel good."
The boys and their friends and family are still raising money.
"My aunt took some to work and we have another $100 saved up," Garrett said. "We want to do this every year to help Hospice and the patients that have to stay there."
Anthony's parents are Dena and David Jarrell, and Garrett's mom is Beth Wilson. They both live in Foster.

Two important health-related events are coming up in New Albany and we want to give a nod to both of them.
One is for adults and is called Mississippi in Motion. It is designed to improve health through increased physical activity and improved nutrition. It is sponsored by the Blue Cross & Blue Shield Mississippi Foundation, Mississippi State University Extension Service, John D. Bower, MD School Health Network 2, New Albany Schools, the state Department of Education, and Baptist Memorial Hospital-Union County.
The program is 12 weeks long with sessions on nutrition, physical activity and strength training along with information on chronic disease. It will kick off with a health fair for adults Sept. 2 at the Baptist Healthplex.
The second program, and the one we want to focus more on here, is geared toward children from 4 to 12 years old, and is conducted by the hospital with the support of lots of other groups. It's the Back-to-School Health Fair.
A thousand people, including about 400 children, will show up from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Aug. 15 at the hospital for a free health check and a variety of activities from fingerprinting to tobacco education. Along the way they'll get free hot dogs and snacks and a free school backpack for participating in a short lesson about carrying backpacks safely.
Children in the age group will get a flyer at school and full details will be in the Gazette.
The free program, which has been ongoing for 20 years at the hospital, is another example of the importance of having a not-for-profit rather than a proprietary hospital in the community.
We applaud Baptist Memorial Hospital's commitment to improving the health and safety of our children.

Editor's Note: Fifteen-year old Jokichi is a boy from Seattle who traveled to Guatemala to volunteer. We applaud his choice of this kind of endeavor at such a young age...a future GoNOMAD Traveler at heart.
For a country with one of the highest poverty rates in Latin America, the gift of a house in Guatemala can be life changing. Many of the impoverished people of the rural countryside in Guatemala don't have much money, and much of their basic necessities are lacking. The act of building a small house out of brick, which costs about 1,700 US dollars to build, can affect a family's quality of life immensely.
I went to Guatemala in the summer of 2008, the trip was a gift from my grandparents to my cousin and I. We worked with an organization called From House to Homes, started by a man named Joe Collins. We we joined a group of volunteers to build a house for a Guatemalan family.
Flocks of people crowded the small sidewalks, dodging the rain under the blue and black tarps of roadside vendors. Soon we reached the outskirts of the city, and more of the lively forests showed.
The lush green valleys were amazing and even better than any picture you could see. There were plants of every type, from the small vines hanging down from the boulders beside the road, to the massive trees overhanging the hills providing us shade on our winding roads. Before long however, we arrived in Antigua.
The city was like a confusing chessboard with bumpy cobblestones lining every road. The grid like streets were easy to navigate and soon became familiar as the days moved on. We came up to the hotel and checked in. The courtyard, with its old overgrown stone walls which we soon found out to be beautiful in the morning, was spooky, and confusing in the night. The next morning was a Saturday and we did various sorts of activities like hiking and touring the city. The weekend was a blast but by Monday we were ready to get to work.
As my grandparents, cousin, and I walked in we were greeted by the founder, Joe Collins. We also met the manager Oscar Mejia. My grandparents had worked to build a house here before, so they knew a lot of the people there and were glad to see them again. We were given three bottles of water for the day, and we had packed lunches so we were set. Then we hopped into the back of one of the pickup trucks and were off.
The ride, which started off very bumpy was really scary because the crew and I were sitting along the edges of the trunk of the pickup. The rough ridges of the bed were uncomfortable to sit on, and we all settled for the sides. But when we left the town, another problem came up. We were going about 60 mph up the hill, and the wind was really picking up. Luckily, I didn't fall but I came pretty close. I also met the others who came to build a house. They were two girls from America and Ireland, who were very enthusiastic about it too.
Quickly, we had reached the village of Santa Maria de Jesus and as we were driving through into town, Henio, a Guatemalan worker, and a couple others in the truck waved and called out to a lot of the people there. Henio, with his trimmed mustache, and spiked jet black hair was the lead worker, and the one who you could count on to joke around. One time, when we were driving up to the site, he decided to lean over the top of the truck, onto the windshield; while we were going almost 60 mph!
After many turns and cutbacks, we had reached the current home of the Mixtun family. Their new house was to be built next door. The road leading up to it was a dirt road, and surrounding it lay rows and rows of corn in which you could almost get lost in. There also were many kids here as well, whether they were cousins of the family, or friends.
I stepped inside the rusty metal doorway and was shocked at what I saw. It was a patch of ground with stray roots sprouting up, and a tiny metal cabin where they slept. Inside, the 10X5 foot space was a small fireplace and a couple of pots and pans which they used to cook their meals. This tiny room housed 5 people! Normally where they would sleep was now taken over by the concrete packages which had to be kept dry. There also was an enclosed ditch on the property covered up by banana leaves; it was a toilet! It was a pretty dismal situation.
We began work pretty soon, and we also found out that a number of workers already started on Friday to lay the groundwork and measure. I was put on wire duty, in which I had to cut steel rebar to secure the concrete.
There was this one boy who was really cute who kept on asking me what I was doing. He then chased after this dog and played with him, for he was easily distracted. We busily worked the first day, measuring, cutting, and finally digging ditches for the cement. My shoes were so full of dirt, that my white socks were brown when I got home.
However, if the player is telling the truth then the person who said BS has to take all the cards. To win, you have to play al your cards.) With the limited Spanish we knew, and help from the Guatemalan workers who knew a little English, we managed to teach the kids the basics of the game. All the kids loved it and every time someone played a card, they would scream BS with enthusiasm. Eventually they would have all the cards in their hand, but they didn't care. They had huge grins on their little faces, as if they were trying to show me how many teeth they had.
Another game we played was baseball…sort of. The property had a lot of sticks of bamboo lying around and one day I picked one up and threw rock in the air and hit it. After that, all the boys were really excited to play but most of them couldn't hit the rock without help. Also, they would come up to me during lunch over the next few days and ask, "bazebol?" I also played games with the Guatemalan workers. My cousin Zachary and I would play muff, a juggling game with the workers who all were good at soccer. It was great to have some sort of interaction besides work, which wasn't limited by language. The same goes for the "bazebol".
One of the most tiring jobs I had, and had to do for most of the time we were working was actually placing in cinder blocks and sticking grout between them. This was the basis for the building, and my hands got pruned from all the grout lying on my fingers. It was tedious, yes, but I found enjoyment in every layer of bricks we did. Soon, the walls were at my chest. Then my forehead. Soon, we were on beams set up to prop us up because we couldn't reach high enough!
By the end of the week, it felt like time had gone by in a matter of hours. I had already been there almost a week, but it felt much less. The last day was Friday, and since we were nearly finished we thought we would have a party in honor of the family. We brought balloons and a piñata filled with all kinds of candy.

A year ago, Stephanie Pezzullo was on the verge of giving up on running.Two and a half years removed from a brutal ankle injury and subsequent surgery, she couldn't run without severe pain in her right leg.
It wasn't the ankle that was actually bothering her. Although she had undergone a fairly complicated procedure in the spring of 2007 to successfully reposition the talus bone in her right foot – it's a small bone that sits between the heel bone and the terminus of the tibia and fibula – she had done extensive rehab to get back to running by the end of that year and was hoping to qualify for the 2008 U.S. Olympic trials in the 3,000m steeplechase. That's not how things turned out.
Pezzullo was a soccer player at Penn State and later played on a semi-pro team in Charlotte, N.C., before ZAP Fitness coach Pete Rea discovered her and invited her to train under his tutelage in 2006. Despite her limited running background, Pezzullo's well-developed aerobic system responded well to distance running and she ran an impressive 16:23 in her 5,000m debut. Rea figured her strength and agility would be ideal for the steeplechase, and after she ran 10:17 and qualified for the 2007 U.S. championships in her first race, it looked like a brilliant plan. But then in a tune-up race before nationals, Pezzullo clipped the first barrier with her trailing leg and badly injured her ankle.
Fast-forward through almost a year of rehab, Pezzullo started training on her own while working full-time as a personal trainer in Charlotte. Even though she had regained some of her fitness and was running pretty well in road 5Ks, she had developed some gait imbalances and had constant pain in her hamstrings, quads, IT band and glutes. "I felt like I had torn muscles on my whole right side every time I ran," she says.
She started cycling last year to reduce her focus on running and found some success in duathlons, winning her age group in the first one she entered. She was still trying to run some, but the pain persisted and she was beyond frustrated.
Worse yet, none of the many doctors she visited could figure out what was causing her pain and each one came to the same conclusion: Quit running.
"A lot of doctors told me I was never going to be the same after the surgery," she says. "At some point, I said to myself, 'This is ridiculous. I'm getting a little older, maybe I should listen to them and move on.'"
So as somewhat of a last resort, Rea suggested that Pezzullo make an appointment to see physical therapist and renowned running gait analyst Jay Dicharry, the director of the SPEED Performance Clinic and the coordinator of the Motion Analysis Lab at the University of Virginia's Center for Endurance Sport.

Many Americans still don t realize that the Affordable Care Act and Obamacare is the same thing, according to a new poll.
A deeper look inside the numbers appears to show the disconnect runs along party lines.
In a survey of 1,000 voters last weekend, Public Policy Polling asked, Do you have a more favorable opinion of Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act, or do you see them both equally?
Overall, 14 percent said they viewed Obamacare more favorably; 13 percent favored the Affordable Care Act while 62 percent saw them both equally.
Obamacare is the political nickname that has been adopted for the Affordable Care Act. They are the same law.
When breaking it down by party affiliation, more than 59 percent of Republicans and 52 percent of Democrats looked at the two equally. But there were plenty who seemed to not realize both are the same law.
- 29 percent viewed Obamacare favorably
- 9 percent viewed the ACA favorably
- 10 percent were not sure
- 22 percent viewed the ACA favorably
- 6 percent viewed Obamacare favorably
- 12 percent were not sure
Independents seemed to have a better grasp of the situation. 75 percent saw both Obamacare and the ACA equally. Still, 6 percent favored Obamacare while 8 percent favored the ACA.
Late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel recently poked fun at this problem. His staff asked people on the street whether they liked Obamacare or the ACA better. It was clear many of them had strong opinions about both laws, not realizing they were actually the same. Watch:
35 percent of those polled by PPP identified themselves as Democrat. 34 percent identified as Republican and 32 percent said they were Independent.
Other findings in this poll:
- 45 percent - Pres. Barack Obama s job approval rating.
- 39 percent - Congressional Democrats job approval rating.
- 29 percent - Congressional Republicans job approval rating.
- 89 percent - Percentage who think Congress should not be paid during government shutdown.
- 48 percent - Those who think Republicans are responsible for the government shutdown. Democrats received 42 percent.
- 53 percent - Those who think Congress is responsible for the shutdown. Pres. Obama received 43 percent.
The overall margin of error was +/- 3.1 percent.

Do you blog? We do and with millions upon millions scattered throughout cyberspace, a more accurate question today is "Why DON'T you blog?" It can be fun, informative and, for several lucky college students, seriously beneficial to their futures (and wallets).
Lenovo's University of Bloggers is hosting a bloggers contest, where each contestant will create a goal-oriented blog in which they will document their progress toward whichever goal they choose. The winner will receive $20,000 but prizes will also be given to nine runner-up bloggers. You just have to be over the age of 18, enrolled in an accredited college and enter by October 1st to be considered. Not too shabby!
For more information on this scholarship, click here or conduct a scholarship search on our site for others like it. Good luck, bloggers!

Hey there, Scholarships.com readers! I'm Mary, a junior English major/business minor student at Concordia University of Wisconsin.
I'll admit, I didn't give my college search as much time or thought as I should have. I chose to attend Concordia for two main reasons: I was offered a substantial academic scholarship (and rather a lot of financial aid) and was able to take a free trip to London, Normandy and Paris through the honors program during my freshman year. However, my time at Concordia has been well spent as I have been able to take a number of fascinating classes with some exceptional professors, make a few lifelong friends, travel and even get some decent sleep.
I love having a busy schedule so this year I plan to intern in Milwaukee and hopefully (fingers crossed!) head to New York City in the winter. I've indulged myself a little with my English major – reading and being impacted by what I read has always been one of the best parts of my life – and I am looking forward to a career that not only allows but requires me to do just that.
The opportunity to be a virtual intern with Scholarships.com is one I couldn't pass up: Not only is this the sort of writing experience necessary for my resume, but it's a bit out of my comfort zone. I hope to challenge myself to be a resource to you readers and help bring some insight into the ordeals of life as a college student.
I'll sign off with the most important thing college has helped me realize (so far): Challenge yourself and you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you can accomplish. Thanks for reading!

Something that Blizzard does extremely well, but goes uncommented on by most people, is the naming system for talents and abilities. The names for each class are extremely well-chosen, and do a superb job of reinforcing that class's identity.
Take rogues, for example: ambush, mutilate, backstab, rupture, garrote, sinister strike, crippling poison, hemorrhage. Brutal, guttural words. Words which are perfect for the rogue.
Paladins have might, wisdom, justice, crusader, light's grace, avenger's shield, vengeance. Blessing of Kings. Again, the words used are chosen for deliberate effect, reinforcing the class identity.
Warlocks have corruption, doom, agony, immolate, drain life. Words that evoke the dark nature of the warlock.
You can see similar effects for all the other classes. Attention to details like these is what makes Blizzard games so polished, and their Creative/Naming team has done an outstanding job with ability and talent names.
It's one of those things that I never really thought about, until I saw a different game which had just terrible names for abilities. That made me realize that coming up with good, solid names is not as easy as it seems, and actually goes a long way to making your game shine.

I agree!
Most people are always complaining about WoW's problems but never mention the other 99% of the game which they get perfect. I play a pally, when I started I felt like a holy warrior because of the spell names and abilities. When I levelled my warlock, I felt like a creature of evil who's only mission was to inflict pain.
No other game out there has so many details and makes such an effort to ensure that the lore matches up with the game and it's players.
That's why I love WoW.

Blizzard has done a great job with naming all around. Unlike some other games in the genre, there is a reasonably small number of unpronounceable or jaw breaking names.
Naming is just another level of polish Blizzard put into the game.

It's funny this post is made when Blizzard put in place Shard of Contempt giving "heroism" buff : that's right : same name as an alliance shamy ability....

dude totally, and related to the naming of the talents, the backdrops of the talent trees are paintings that reflect the focus of the tree. the paladin in particular is very well done.

I don't think small bits of polish can save a game in the eyes of someone who doesn't care for the necessity of the grind, gear requirements, and inability to access content for those who don't have time to put into raiding.

Yes, it may seem as icing on the cake to most, but it really adds to the look & feel of the game.
The best parts of game design are those no one recognizes first hand. All those small bits and thingies add up and form the complete whole.
Blizzard is very good at those. ;-)

I agree that the consistency and appropriateness of ability names, just like lore consistencies, add to the immersion and depth of a game.
However, to be fair, many wow abilities are not new or unique to wow. WoW borrowed very heavily from the Warcraft and Diablo games previously made by Blizzard. There's nothing wrong with that, what I find interesting are abilities that they chose to change the names of or include with slight mechanics differences.
Ex: The (as of TBC) newly updated and improved Prot Pally talent: Reckoning. While I think the name is most appropriate and cool (I loved reckoning while leveling my prot pally), it is very similar to Zeal from the Diablo Paladin.
Another strange example: giving the demon-blood-free horde shaman the ability 'bloodlust' is questionable lore-wise (though it was the Warcraft 2/3 shaman defining ability - so they pretty much HAD to put it in).

A trust is an arrangement to hold assets for the benefit of another. Title to the trust assets is held by the trustee, who has the duty to administer and distribute the trust assets for the benefit of the beneficiary. Trusts are usually established by a written document signed by the trustor, or person who creates the trust. Most of them are private agreements between the trustor and trustee. Some are supervised by the court, meaning the court approves the selection of the trustee and approves the accounts of the trustee. The trustee itemizes receipts and disbursements.
There are many kinds of trusts. The most common ones include:
Discretionary Trust: a trust that grants a larger amount of discretion to the trustee to distribute the trust income or principal to the beneficiary.
Inter Vivos Trust: a trust that is created by a transfer during the trustor's (creators') lifetime. This is most commonly referred to as a living trust.
Irrevocable Trust: a trust that cannot be revoked or amended.
Revocable Trust: a trust that can be revoked or amended.
Supplemental Needs Trust: a trust established for the benefit of a disabled person to supplement the government benefits received by the beneficiary.
Testamentary Trust: a trust created pursuant to the terms of a will and takes effect at the time of the trustor's death.

Welcome to the Berkano website.
Berkano aims to provide components which can ease the development of web applications. One of the targets is the user management area, covering the basic user data model up to password recovery strategies, etc...
Berkano tries to stay open: you should always be able to use the web framework of you choice, for instance, and/or only use the features you want from berkano, without being forced to use the whole thing.
Some modules of berkano are minimalistic and don't necessarily relate to the others. They have their own history, their own life and will eventually grow... or not.
Berkano is the name of the rune of the birch goddess: it is the container of all becoming/being. It is a collector and conserver of energy and a sign of enclosure and shelter. (no, this is not serious information)

Successful and Unsuccessful Sales Calls: Measuring Salesperson Attributions and Behavioral Intentions
2001, Journal of Marketing
Andrea L Dixon, Rosann L Spiro, Maqbul Jamil
Applying attribution theory to consumer behavior issues is quite common. In the managerial arena, previous research suggests that salespeople's attribution processes affect their expectancies for success and future behavior. However, no published research has developed adequate measures that might be used to examine the full range of attributional responses for sales success or failure and the behaviors that are likely to follow such attributions. The goal of this research is to develop a complete set of attributional and behavioral scales for sales success and failure and validate such scales in a real-world context--among field sales representatives. Following Churchill's (1979) recommended process, the authors develop a complete set of attributional and behavioral intention scales that is applicable to a field sales force setting. The authors then measure 228 financial services representatives' performance attributions for a previous sales interaction; their intended behaviors for a future, similar selling situation; and their personal characteristics. The authors test the validities of the scales and examine the usefulness of applying the scales within a theoretically justified nomological network of relationships.
Dixon, Andrea L., Rosann L. Spiro, and Maqbul Jamil (2001), "Successful and Unsuccessful Sales Calls: Measuring Salesperson Attributions and Behavioral Intentions," Journal of Marketing, Vol. 65, No. 3, pp. 64-78.

From Awareness to Action: Sharing Lessons Learned for African Conservation
A Report to the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund prepared by the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group
"What are the most effective methods of communication and networking to influence conservation outcomes for non-governmental organizations and African partners?"
"How do we promote awareness on key conservation challenges that result in conservation capacity building and action?"
These were the research questions behind the communications assessment carried out by the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG). ABCG, a collaboration by U.S.-based international conservation non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that explores cutting edge and high priority issues affecting Africa, wanted to determine how new conservation concepts, tools and lessons are best shared with conservation decision-makers and practitioners in all regions of Africa. ABCG conducted four case studies to gain an in-depth view of the effectiveness of different communications methods, activities, and products used in their collaboration as well as other projects. The case studies included:
1. Biodiversity Support Program (BSP) Armed Conflict and the Environment Project;
2. ABCG HIV/AIDS and Conservation Linkages Project;
3. ABCG General Communications Activities; and
4. ABCG Product Cost Analysis.
The key finding of this study is:
U.S.-initiated projects that articulate conservation linkages and identify key messages and lessons on emerging and high priority issues can more effectively build capacity of field-based partners in Africa (in terms of learning, behavior change, and organizational change) when they develop and implement a focused, effective multi-tiered communications strategy that takes into account different levels of target audiences and identifies the most useful means of communications that considers timing, outreach, and cost.

How does Sami feel about Pinterest??
"When I first started using Pinterest, it was brand new and a fun way to pass the time. Then I discovered all of it's amazing potential! I now use it to search for a recipe, discover an amazing do-it-yourself project, and to keep track of cute things I see online that I know I have to have. It's also great when you need a good laugh! I love going back to my boards and finding some great inspiration :) - Sami

This light weight yet bulky yarn creates designs which appear felted or matted.
Felted* Tweed Aran is a wonderful, tweedy yarn with a felted look, is a beautiful blend of merino wool, alpaca and viscose.
*Please note, this is a lightly pre-felted yarn that knits to a lightweight fabric with a felted effect. Please follow care instructions, as the yarn may felt further if washed incorrectly
Felted* Tweed DK is a wonderful, tweedy yarn with a felted look, is a beautiful blend of merino wool, alpaca and viscose.
This beautiful yarn has an amazing soft handle and although it is light weight it appears dense when knitted, thus creating perfect looking colour work and stitch designs.
Alpaca Chunky is a beautiful alpaca yarn which is amazingly soft. The rounded chain construction creates a yarn which is light in weight yet warm and comforting to wear.
Creative Focus Worsted is a lovely wool and alpaca blended aran weight yarn.
This beautiful fine lace weight yarn is made in a blend of the softest baby suri alpaca and the finest merino wool.
Frost is a soft to the touch metallic yarn in an Alpaca (20%) and Viscose (80%) blend. This yarn takes textured stitches very well allowing the inherent metallic shine and colour mix to show through.
Tumble is a glorious lightweight, soft and lofty yarn comprising of 90% Alpaca and 10% Cotton and is the ideal yarn for those snugly soft Autumn Winter garments and accessories.
We have taken our hugely popular Lima yarn, made with baby alpaca and merino wool, and added a subtle colour effect. The soft blends of colour make this luxurious and soft yarn ideal for adding colour to any winter wardrobe.
