Reactions to Randy Wells' Demotion: Jed Hoyer, Jeff Samardzija, Randy Wells, and Others
Jed Hoyer and Jeff Samardzija are certain we'll see plenty of Randy Wells in Chicago this year. But that doesn't mean Randy isn't bummed.

I purchased five bistro sets three years ago for my venue. They look like I just purchased them! This year I noticed I am missing the piece on 2 chairs that levels the chairs.

Thanks for any help you can do for me. Diane

I'm really happy with this set. My husband who isn't particularly handy put it together easily. It is sturdy and has a really nice finish. It looks great on my terrace! I don't normally buy on line but am so glad I purchased this set.Read More
Nice table...arrived with slight flaws...missing foot pads..wait til price dropsRead More
beautiful but full of rust after 3 days!!!
RUST is all over the table and chairs after only 3 days. I'm shocked. I would LOVE to return this but after an hour of putting it together, ordering the cushions to fit it - such a pain.Read More
I love this table!! I bought it for my parents as a Christmas present, and it worked out so well! The table itself was very easy to assemble and I was so pleased that all the tools and things you need came right in the box. It is the perfect size--just enough room for a small meal for two or a nice cup of cappuchino! I am satisfied with the weight of the table and chairs, it does not at all feel cheap or flimsy. The chairs are comfortable, my parents said that they don't even feel it need chair pads or covers. I would definitely invest in this table again, maybe when I get my own place. I searched around for a while before purchasing this bistro set, and I don't think you'll find anything better than this one! You definitely get more than you pay for. Be advised: the box that it is delivered in is VERY heavy, so be careful not to throw out your back. :) Enjoy and I hope this helps!Read More
cast iron not cast aluminum
Have you checked your set with a magnet ? I have checked mine and a magnet sticks to my metal and that means that it is made with a ferrous metal and that also means it will rust outside and they are not describing the product accurately. There should be truth in advertising.Read More
nice addition to my patio
Buyer beware: I was looking for the chair sitting are to be larger than 14"-15" in diameter (that's how most of the bistro sets designed) because my husband is not a small man and I am not a small-frame woman. The description for the chair measurements stated that it's 17" in diameter, which made me to buy it. Unfortunately, when I got the set, sitting are measured barely 15". It's not Overstock fault, they were provided measurements by the manufacturer, but if this issue is deciding point in purchasing, as it was for me, just be aware.Read More
Nice Bistro Set
Box was slighty damaged upon receipt. However contents were well packed and protected with bubble wrap and styrofoam so nothing was damaged. All parts for assembly were in the box and well marked. Table and chair bolts in separate small bags clearly marked. Assembly instuction where clear and easily understood. Instuctions stated I should have 4 longer studs for seat back attachment but all studs were same size. All were 30 mm none were 35 mm. I was still able to assemble the seats. Only one seat needed leveling with adjustable feet after assembly. Set looks exactly as pictured and is very sturdy. However, be advised set is NOT all cast aluminum. Seat bottoms,seat backs, and table top are aluminum. All table and chair legs appear to be cast iron. the became apparent during assembly based on weight of the pieces. Also verified with a magnet which should not be attracted to aluminum but obviously was attracted and stuck to all legs. This is suppose to be an outdoor bistro set and now I'm concerned about corrosion due some parts being cast iron. Overall very satisfied with my purchase. Will have to monitor set for corrosion as usage progresses.Read More
Fits the spot!!!
It amazes me how quickly items arrive from the O. I usually leave the assembly projects for my husband but I gave it a try this time. Very easy and precise instructions. Went together in no time. The color, quality and pricing was great. It is very sturdy and it fits perfectly in the courtyard area of our new home. Thank you O!Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello Diane R Burroughs, you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
Can this bistro set be painted in the future by me, if I wanted to paint it a different color?
Hello fashionhomedecor, we appreciate your inquiry. If you decide to paint this set, please make sure to use a outdoor furniture rust resistant paint. Also, please keep in mind that modified items are non-returnable. We hope you have found this information helpful. Thank you for shopping with us!
Why did you choose this product?
I like the look of this set
Fits my front patio. Getting ready for spring and summer!
Size and price
The price is good and it is exactly what we were looking for.
Good value for the money - over $100 cheaper than the same set at Penney's
This will look great on my patio and I have a "dead" corner that this will dress up immediately.
I like the design and was looking for a set that had the weight to withstand the heavy winds we have in Nevada. The price was also right. Looking forward to add to our new wooden deck.
Like the style and perfect for my backyard
I like it and will place in our Court Yard!
Looks just like what I have been dreaming of for 2 years since we moved into our new home. We have a stone porch out front of our traditional English style home. Spring is here, and we will be having a graduation party at our house soon (I am a college professor, mentoring graduate students), checked online to see what was available and whether or not I could afford it at voila! Less on Overstock.com than Hayneedle.com for the same set. Free Shipping! Very excited.
I like the way it looks
Because it looks authentic and is priced right. Good value for the price...
great deal. this should last a long time.
For our new deck in the front yard!~
Relaxation on Patio. Morning coffee, evening wine, writing on my laptop.
because of aluminum and stile.Thanks
My wife told me to buy it.
Not only is it attractive, but LOOKS sturdy as well.
I've liked it for some time now and was waiting for the price to go back under $199. I want it for my front porch to sit while kids play outside. It seems to be sturdy.
what is the weight of the table? and of the chairs?
Hello nolacopeland, this table weighs approximately 30 pounds. Each chair weighs approximately 15 pounds. Thank you for shopping with us!
It says this item is assembled, then under details says assembly required. Does this come assembled or not?
Hello jjs91, we apologize for the confusion. The most accurate information is listed in the details box, this set will require assembly. Thanks for shopping with us!
does this table has designs can hold umbrella
Hello hamzayousafzai, yes, this table can hold an umbrella in the center. Thank you for shopping with us!
Hi there, I ordered this set a few years back but it is in black. I would like to order another one in black, do you still carry the same set in that finish?
Hello jgsnyc, thank you for your inquiry. This lovely item is not currently in stock with a black finish at this time. Thank you for shopping with us.
Do you have this set in white?
Hello NinaP, unfortunately this set is not available in white. Thanks for shopping with us. J.E
I have only had this set for two weeks and it is already rusting. Is this normal?
yes, mine is too but why? it was not even out in the rain.
No it is aluminum, it won't rust.
I have had mine for about a month and could not be happier. Great size table and comfortable seating. No appearance of rust. Ours is out in the open.
What is the weight limit on chairs?
The weight should not exceed 250 lbs.
Where was this made?
Thank you for contacting us jgiustina. This was made in China. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Hello kkkod1! We do apologize, we do not have this table alone. Thanks for shopping with us! -Amanda P
No, it comes as a set. I love mine! I've had mine for several years and still looks great!
Everything except aluminum and stainless steel will rust. Are the table top and table legs ALL aluminum? What parts are exactly Cast iron in this group? Are the nuts, bolts, washers, etc., stainless steel?
The hardware is regular steel and we already see rust, but the price was right. Very beautiful
Under the materials, "glass" is listed. Where is the glass in this bistro set? I assume the table top, but the pic does not seem to show this.
Hello debra76, we apologize for the confusion. The "Features" section of the product page is a general category directing customers to a particular site and is not the most accurate product information. The "Product Details" is the area that actually describes the item for sale. There is no glass on this table. Thank you for checking with us.
There is no glass provided
What size is the seat and how high is the chair seat
Hello, 99def. The seat is 17.5 inches high and the width is 15.5 inches. Thank you for shopping with us.
I plan on keeping this set outdoors on an uncovered patio. Will it rust?
Hello jheanelle, the item is made of the outdoors, but it is always good to cover during inclement weather. Thank you for shopping with us.
Mine's made it through several rainstorms, and no signs of rust yet. I don't believe aluminum usually rusts, though.
I don't think so. Ours is outside. Material is aluminum with stainless steel hardware.
How large an umbrella stand would fit between the table legs?
Hello maiad, We apologize for the delay in answering your question. The umbrella stand should be about 18 inch diameter or 16 inch may be better for such a small table. Thank you for your question.
Hello maiad, We can confirm the legs between each other are 18.5 apart, this will help determine the base you need. Thank you
The instructions specifically read to not use an umbrella with this table.
None, table way to small and light to support umbrella.
Can I add a light umbrella?
I am looking to add an umbrella too. It appears there is a hole for it. However, I believe an umbrella stand would be needed so wind doesn't blow over the aluminum table. Since most stands are about 18
There is a roughly 2-inch hole that can be used for an umbrella.
Yes there is a hole for an umbrella.
what is the weight of each chair and the table?
At this time we do not have the information you are requesting. Please check back in 1-2 business days.
The table is 30 LBS and the chairs are about 15 LBS

Rated 4 out of 5 by 472 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Midwest71 great location, friendly staff! Great location to Convention Center (our cheer event was at) as well as a 15 min walk to Disney. Quick access to grocery marts, restaurants, some shopping. Hotel staff were helpful and available, nice restaurants (Steve was awesome at Overland Stage Grill ) and good food! Only wish the elevators were working properly as 1 was mostly out of order and the hotel was booked. Also our room smelled strongly of cigarettes when checked in, and maid should have told front desk and deodorized it. April 14, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by TravelinMomFromCA Disney Fun Have stayed here before and enjoyed the proximity to Disneyland and the ability to watch fireworks from your room. This time we upgraded to club level and we really enjoyed the club level amenities a lot. I asked for a quiet room and that is what we got. The staff here are great, especially the maintenance, housekeeping and food/beverage staff. Front desk is merely average, which was my impression the last time we were here. The rooms and central HVAC system are not up to today's standards, rooms are very small but this is not the hotel staff's fault. They do their best with what they have. The pool area is also small, especially with a lot of convention folks staying at the hotel. But a great value for the location, especially the club level rooms. The free wireless and bottled water for SPG members is appreciated. April 13, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by SalMal89 The Welcome The property is beautiful, but felt that the quality of my check-in was not up to Starwood Standards. It was a last minute reservation that I booked and I was happy that there was a StarHot rate available for this Sheraton. I arrived almost around midnight and the associate greeted me with a welcoming smile as I waited to be checked- in. After my reservation was pulled up, it felt as if there was a change in the agent's attitude. I don't know if it was because I worked for the same brand and I didn't need to be treated like a guest because I know the procedures of a check-in or if it was because it was late and the agent just wanted to get me on my way so that I would stop wasting his time. I didn't ask for any upgrades or any discounts or give any notation that I wanted any of that. I just felt that it was rude that I was given an Accessible King Bed when I booked a Regular King Bed and was not informed that there was room type change. Yes, it was a King bed, but if I wanted to book a room with a roll in shower, then I would do so. My key card was missing the rate and the date of my check out on it. There was no other info given about the hotel expect the charges for parking and where to park. I don't know if this is normal for that particular associate to treat other employee from other properties a certain way because of the low rate, but that shouldn't determined the level of customer service given to a guest. April 13, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by sidchris service is bad Underwear and shorts left from previous guest. Valet service is slow and are pretty rude. Front desk seemed under staff but very bored. He handed me keys and the hotel is kind of confusing. Had to find my way to the elevators! The check in agent didn't engage in a conversation and neither did the check out agent. April 10, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Denine Not Worth the Cost We chose a 4 star this time to see if we were missing anything. We usually stay at 2-3 star hotels as we are only there to sleep and away during the day. There was nothing to impress. They regulate the room temperature on the whole floor where we stayed at 70 degrees... we almost died of heat exhaustion. They had to bring us these two very small fans as we couldn't adjust the temperature... it was terrible! I called them twice before our trip to as about any possible extra charges, so I could properly budget for our trip. They promised no additional charges other than rate I was given. However, first thing they did upon our arrival is charge us an additional cost for parking!! OH MY GOD!!! Very Cheap Shot! We will not stay there again. March 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Deanne2014 Always a Great Stay! We stay at this hotel at least twice a year, that alone speaks volumes. Staff is great. During this stay, we had a slight mix-up during construction and had to change rooms, Warren made this process so fast and pain free. Kids loved the room change and the trip was, in their words "the best ever!" Would definitely recommend this hotel, safe and clean! All staff is friendly and goes out of their way to make your stay enjoyable! March 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by VanMan Excellent Sheraton Experience My son and I stayed here for a sports tournament over President's Weekend and it was ideal. Valet parking was exceptional; my car was always at the front curb when I got downstairs. Club Level Lounge was always well stocked and attended. Our room looked directly out to the evening fireworks from Disneyland. Pool always had stacks of clean towels. I needed a late checkout due to our game times and I was thoroughly accommodated. I will certainly use this hotel again if I am in the area. February 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tjoeng This hotel is best choice It is Walking distance to Disneyland December 27, 2014

A Hickory family's pet died Thursday in a house fire.
The dog was inside the house, located at 1959 16th St. NE in Hickory, when a fire broke out in the basement.
No one was at home when the fire started, but one of the residents returned home at 10:07 a.m. and smelled smoke, said Terri Byers with the Hickory Fire Department.
Thirteen Hickory firefighters arrived on the scene with two engines, one ladder truck and one command vehicle. They found flames in the basement, as well as smoke and heat damage on the first floor.
The city of Hickory will hold a Sept. 11 remembrance event Saturday.
The event, which is scheduled to start at 8:30 a.m. in Union Square in downtown Hickory, marks the first time the city organized a 9/11 event by itself.
"We right away started planning this event (after Sept. 11, 2009)," said Mandy Pitts, Hickory communications director. "We plan for this to be the start of an annual event."
The Hickory High School band will play patriotic tunes prior to start of the event.
Certain roads in Catawba County are expected to be paved in the coming months, following a recommendation by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
Jackie McSwain, district engineer for the NCDOT, presented the Catawba County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday with the NCDOT's priority list for paving and widening secondary roads in the county.
The county was allocated $1,580,200 in North Carolina highway funds to use in the projects, and all of the funding is expected to be utilized.
The Catawba County Animal Shelter re-opened Tuesday, and after two days, the shelter is back to overcrowded conditions.
The shelter housed 119 cats and dogs at noon on Thursday, which exceeds the shelter's capacity by 41 animals.
But for Jane Tse, of Hickory, surrendering her dog to the animal shelter Thursday was her only choice.
Tse's daughter died in October, and she has cared for her daughter's dog since her death.
"She was just too sick to take care of (the dog)," Tse said.
Area WATCH DOGS organizations put a leash on school violence.
The WATCH Dads of Great Students (DOGS) organization is comprised of volunteer father figures, like dads, grandfathers, uncles and older brothers, who commit time in area schools to be positive role models for students.
When Lorrie Dean was raising her children as a single parent, the backpack program could have helped her out immensely.
Now that Dean's children are adults, she wants to help families who are struggling to put food on the table, just as she did.
Dean is one of many Catawba County BB&T employees who started volunteering Wednesday for the county's backpack program, which provides free meals for underprivileged children during weekends.
The bill is in for repairing a water line break that affected most Newton city water customers last month, and city leaders were surprised by the cost estimates.
Newton Public Works Director Wilce Martin said a water line break along U.S. 70 early in the morning on Aug. 24 will cost the city about $59,000.
"I would have thought it would be five times that," said Newton Mayor Robert Mullinax, who previously called the water line break a "budget buster."
A Newton home was damaged Wednesday after a fire broke out in the kitchen.
Homeowner Casey Wilfong was outside her residence at 4464 Hickory Lincolnton Highway shortly before 11 a.m. when she heard the smoke detector beeping inside her house.
She went back into the single-story home, saw flames in the kitchen near the sink and called 9-1-1.
"You don't want to know what I was thinking (when I saw the fire)," she said. "You really don't want to know."
The former PTO treasurer accused of stealing thousands of dollars from Webb A. Murray Elementary School had her case continued.
Holly LaFone Specht, of Hickory, was scheduled to appear Tuesday in Catawba County Superior Criminal Court. Her case was continued to Nov. 1.
The defense made a motion for continuance for time needed to obtain financial documents relevant to the case.
Specht was indicted in April on charges of embezzlement by a public official, obtaining property by false pretenses and four counts of forging endorsement.
A Conover man was convicted Tuesday of three felony sex offenses.
A jury in Catawba County Superior Criminal Court convicted David Gene Carle, 49, with felony first-degree statutory sexual offense and two counts of felony indecent liberties with a child.
Carle was sentenced to at least 192 months and no more than 240 months in the North Carolina Department of Corrections, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Jury selection for Carle's trial started Aug. 31, and the jury returned their verdict Tuesday after 20 minutes of deliberation.

The end of constant economic growth
G7 births hit new record low in 2012
The G7 group of countries are almost half (47%) of global GDP*. They also have the highest incomes, and are therefore still the major driver for the global economy. If we understand what is happening to their populations, we have a great insight in the key driver for demand, as we showed in 'Boom, Gloom and the […]

The interview covered a wide range of subjects: • The importance of 2013 as the year […]
Sustaining growth as the West reaches the 'demographic cliff'
2013 is the year that the Western world reaches the 'demographic cliff'. Its BabyBoomers (born between 1946-70) are the largest and wealthiest generation that the world has ever known. Now they are ageing rapidly. They have less money to spend as they move towards retirement. And they mainly buy replacement products, not new ones, as […]

Army to rebalance workforce at expense of civilians, contractors
Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno said the service wants to bring more uniformed men and women into the institutional Army. He said they have relied too much on civilian employees and contractors over the last decade. Odierno said the Army also has to change the way it trains its leaders to be more adaptable.

You people, begged, and you whinned, and so for once you get what you want!, I present to all you starcraft fans THE COMPLETE ZERG COOP CAMPAIGN!! **I...
This is the same as Clonest's first release except I fixed the tech trees and upgrades and buildable units for player 2. Specifically for those who were...
Realy God Guys Keep up the good work i was thinking of you guys why dont you like a bit stop working on this and get ready and stuff for when starcraft 2 Full is released AND O IF ANYONE WANTS TO PLAY STARCRAFT 2 BETA PRIVATE MESEAGE ME AND WE WILL TLAK SINCE I HAVE 3 ACCOUNTS TO IT
ooo gimme one! private message me!
sense they still do use same .mpq files to store their important Data in for the beta still, and possibly for the real game...then I could easily make coop for it too..except one problem...the level editor has'n't gone public yet!
The second player will be able to access the full tech tree?
Otherwise, great job.
Works very well, one problem though is that player 2 will be able to build everything and player 1 will only be able to build things that are allowed in that map in campaign mode.
I know....but sense its already like cheating getting a second player to be able to help you out it still seems quite fair to still limit the original 1st player's units has it would have tooken quite a bit more time to get each map done if i took the time to disable each of the units...just wait till the expansion missions...you'll be glad there's at lest one player who can build everything in its maps :D
so are you almost ready to release anything? even the rest of the terran campaign would be cool. It doesnt have to be one mass release

An omnibus appropriations bill for the current fiscal year passed the House yesterday and is on its way to the Senate. This piece of legislation will raise the maximum award for Federal Pell Grants to $5350 for 2009-2010. The bill was put on hold last year due to threats of a veto from President Bush.
While Pell Grants received a funding boost, SEOG grants will remain at 2008 funding levels, as will work-study. Perkins Loan cancellation programs will receive a boost in funding to cover shortfalls. Additionally, TRIO and Gear Up programs, aimed at helping low-income students get into college, also received more funding.
The first draft of the budget for the 2010 fiscal year is also heading to Congress soon after being unveiled by President Obama this morning. While details are still emerging, based on an address the president delivered Tuesday, it's likely that further funding for financial aid programs and higher education in general will be included.
While budgets are being hashed out and college aid is generally on its way up, more trouble may be brewing for student loans. A PLUS loan auction program slated to go into effect this summer could reduce the availability of these loans that parents take out on behalf of their students, at least at schools participating in the FFEL program. Financial aid officers have petitioned Congress to delay the scheduled cut in PLUS loan subsidies so as not to jeopardize students' ability to pay for school in the midst of a recession that has already driven dozens of banks away from one form of student lending or another.

In a speech delivered before a joint session of Congress, President Obama called for every American to complete at least one year of postsecondary education and pledged greater financial support for those attending college. He also urged that America become the "best educated" nation and set the goal of having the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020.
In addition to healthcare and alternative energy, the president declared education to be a top priority for improving America's economy and its place in the world. He called on families, schools, and Congress to embrace this priority, and to better prepare citizens for careers that increasingly require some amount of education or training beyond high school.
President Obama promised greater funding for higher education in the federal budget for 2010. This may include the educational tax benefits he advocated in his campaign, as well as other increases to federal student financial aid. He once again mentioned community service or other national service as requirements for future financial aid.
In addition to pledging greater state support, he also asked for an individual commitment by each American to not only graduate from high school, but to set college goals and attend a college, university, community college, or vocational training program for at least one year. In addition to helping people succeed individually, greater education and training can lead to greater success for society.
Obviously, problems with paying for school will not disappear overnight. But with help from schools and the government, individuals who work hard and make higher education a priority can reap the benefits, despite the challenges that remain.
February 24, 2009
In yet another sign that a college education is becoming a necessity, rather than a luxury, a recent study of the stimulus legislation reveals that many of the jobs the stimulus is expected to create will require some education or training beyond high school. In fact, at least 54 percent of the estimated new positions will require at least a postsecondary certificate according to analysis by Georgetown University's Center for Education and the Workforce. Considering a major goal of the stimulus package was to create jobs for less-skilled workers who are usually hardest hit by economic downturns, this figure is especially telling.
It appears that despite the calls for "shovel-ready" projects, few workers will be expected to merely wield shovels. Many of the "non-college" jobs created by this legislation still may require some employer-provided training or time spent at a community college. Inside Higher Education has more complete information, including a chart of the percentage of anticipated stimulus jobs that will require various education credentials.
While some required training will be covered by grants to employers and the increased Pell Grants and college tax benefits in the stimulus, those hoping for job security but apprehensive about college costs may be left with little choice but to go to college. College scholarships and grants, as well as student loans and other financial aid can help. A postsecondary education is becoming increasingly necessary in our economy, and it appears that this trend will continue.

Following this theme, students are asked to address the theme "'E Pluribus Unum': How Then/How Now?" in their essays, describing ways diversity can strengthen American society. Responses should be rooted in World War II history, but should also address more current issues and events.
Current high school students in the United States, United States territories, and military bases
March 27, 2009 (the contest will end earlier if 500 submissions are received)
Required Material:
An online application with a scholarship essay of 1,000 words or less.
Further details about the application process can be found by conducting a free college scholarship search on Scholarships.com. Once the search is completed, students eligible for this scholarship award will find it in their search results.

This week, several groups of students have decided to take a new approach in attempting to reduce their college costs. Students in Minnesota and South Carolina both held rallies at their state capitols this week to try to influence their state legislature's decisions regarding their schools. Meanwhile, students at New York University have barricaded themselves inside a building on campus, refusing to come out until the university meets their list of demands. Each group has different requests, but most come down to money.
More than 200 students from state colleges and universities in Minnesota protested outside the State Capitol Wednesday. Many held signs stating their anticipated student loan debt (answers included $38,000 and "too much" according to an article in The Minneapolis Star-Tribune), while others gave speeches and encouraged their legislators to reject the governor's proposed budget cuts to higher education. Several legislators expressed solidarity with the students, and a newly formed student group plans further protests.
Students in South Carolina also urged their state legislature to make college funding a spending priority, though their actions were largely in protest to a proposed state tuition cap. Students expressed concern that their universities may need to sacrifice educational quality by cutting faculty or course offerings to deal with reduced funding. Students were concerned they'd wind up getting less for their money and possibly paying more money over time by taking longer to get the classes they needed to graduate. They urged the legislature to leave the power to set tuition in colleges' hands.
New York University had the most radical student protest and the lengthiest list of demands, with a small group of students taking over a cafeteria and demanding greater accountability and transparency in the university's budgeting process. The NYU students also wanted a tuition freeze, a union and better benefits for graduate student assistants, and according to one sign, "enough financial aid" for all students, among other things. The students and the university have been in an ongoing standoff since Wednesday night, with crowds of up to 300 students gathering outside the occupied building at one point yesterday.
Whether student rallies, protests, or sit-ins are the best means of funding your education is debatable. Students with activist inclinations who seek other routes to paying for college with better odds of immediate success should consider doing a scholarship search. There are numerous scholarship opportunities for students who are involved in their communities and interested in bringing about change, and they don't require presenting anyone with a list of demands.

Here's something for new college freshmen and college-bound high school seniors to keep in mind: college students and professors often have very different expectations when it comes to grades. An article appearing earlier this week in The New York Times highlights just how vast this difference can be, citing testimony from students, faculty, and one recent study. According to the study, one third of students feel they deserve a B or better just for attending class, and 40 percent feel they should earn at least a B by doing the reading for a class. The faculty members cited in the article disagree with these assumptions, emphasizing merit over effort in awarding final grades.
While many students believe that hard work should result in high grades, many faculty members believe that grades should be based on the finished product, not the effort it took to arrive there. While a student may pour hours of studying or research into a college exam or paper that only earns a C, the outcome can be perplexing and discouraging. Often, this experience is vastly different from the experience students have in high school, especially since many undergraduate students are used to being high achievers. Students perceive grading as unfair and instructors perceive students as having too great a sense of entitlement.
There is another factor the article doesn't address, which may become a concern for readers of our site--sometimes, students don't just feel they deserve a good grade, but they might actually need one to pay for school. Many scholarship awards have minimum GPA requirements, and nearly all financial aid programs require students to maintain satisfactory academic progress, which includes maintaining a certain GPA. So while a student's freshmen year of college can be a learning experience and a period of adjustment to a new grading system, it can potentially be a period of fear and worry about the security of their student financial aid.
If you're struggling to maintain the grades to keep your aid, don't be discouraged by your professors' attitudes towards grading. Talk to your instructor if you're struggling with a class and explain your concerns. Many will be more than willing to sit down with you and offer some help, or at least point you in the right direction. Join a study group and consider signing up for tutoring. If writing is your problem, look up the university's writing center--they usually offer free consultations and can help you with the problem that's standing between you and the grade you want or need. All of this is part of the increased time management and overall responsibility that comes with attending college, so prepare yourself accordingly and don't be caught off guard.

Reducing college costs continues to be a hot topic of discussion, especially given survey results that show that college affordability is a growing public concern. Recent congressional acts, including the education provisions in the stimulus bill President Obama will sign today, the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008, and last year's reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, have kept the issue in focus, as have economic events, such as losses to 529 plans, rising unemployment, and new financial troubles for colleges. A wide range of ideas have attracted the attention of lawmakers and the media, including several suggestions making the rounds this month.
Jesse Jackson recently wrote an article in the Chicago Sun-Times suggesting that Congress pass a law to offer a 1% interest rate on federal student loans, including Stafford Loans and PLUS Loans. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune ran a column in January that went even further, suggesting that the federal government forgive all student loan debt. Meanwhile, Lamar Alexander, a republican Senator from Tennessee, has gotten some publicity for suggesting that more colleges offer three-year paths to degrees, as one of many potential cost-saving measures. Some states are looking into "no-frills" universities, and partnerships between state colleges and community colleges are also gaining traction as cost-saving options.
So we were wondering what people who are in the process of paying for college think. What would you like to see happen to make college more affordable and reduce the burden of student loan debt on college graduates?

Flights, wines and vines
A new air link between San Diego and Sonoma makes for an easy getaway
I was met by friends and swept off for a 15-minute drive to a location that kept up the fantasy pop-culture feel — Francis Ford Coppola's winery in Geyserville. Previously the French-themed Chateau Souverain winery, it now evokes a Loire Valley castle — once Hollywood had finished "improving" it, fixing its nose, changing its name and revising its national identity. In this case, that means turrets have been replaced with illuminated pyramids of light and a broad patio now hosts what may be the largest public swimming pool north of San Francisco, lined with exclusive Italianesque "cabines" for changing into costume — swimming costume, that is. At over $100 a day for four persons for a cabine, or a $20 per person swimming fee, the water option didn't attract me. There is a cafe kiosk on the pool patio that lets visitors get a taste of the waterside fun, which Coppola says was inspired by seeing children try to swim in the fountain at one of his other wineries. It's a resounding, unlikely success.
Inside, the wine shop and tasting area is filled with cases of costumes and props from Coppola's films, including the desk from "The Godfather," costumes from "Dracula," and the car from "Tucker." Coppola's daughter, director Sofia Coppola, is not neglected either; large prop boats from her movie "Marie Antoinette" are on display, and her eponymous Blanc de Blancs wine is mildly effervescent and served in a shapely bottle "dressed" in a pale pink cellophane overwrap. Just try not to distractedly pick off the cellophane. The bartender told me while we were waiting for our table that they are under orders to never remove the modesty wrap from Sofia when serving it. Father Francis is protective.
Lunch on the terrace provided a panoramic view of his vineyards and a menu derived from family favorites, including several succulent lamb dishes, heralded by a white paper bag of salted, fried pettole breads thatwere worth fighting over.
While it is actually possible to fly up from San Diego on the morning flight, enjoy a lunch and a couple of wineries and be back at the airport in time for the 4:30 afternoon flight back to San Diego, unless time is of the essence, the wine flight is an excellent way to start a longer stay in wine country.
A few minutes away from the Francis Ford Coppola Winery is the town of Healdsburg, about 12 miles away from the Santa Rosa Airport. While it has undergone gentrification in recent years, it still is a functioning wine industry town with a traditional town park, the site of markets and festivals.
While Sonoma County is seeking to keep its new visitors within its own boundaries, Santa Rosa is also a nice place to start an exploration into Napa County, especially Calistoga, a hot-springs town reached through a scenic winding forest road. On the way, you have the option of stopping at Envy, where tastings are interrupted with palate-cleansing chocolates and the local version of the Old Faithful geyser can be seen erupting in the distance. You can also pay an entrance fee to see the eruption up close, depending on how geyser-motivated you are.
On the return flight, the path took us over the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay, providing an opportunity for more lower-altitude tourism, accompanied by another glass of wine.
More than anything, this Wine Flight trip is plain fun. The ease of access, the quick travel time, the feel-good Peanuts airport theme and the option of a little Hollywood glamour all combine to feel like a much more intense vacation.

09.12.05 - Samuel Peter has tasted defeat only once in his career and the man they call the Nigerian Nightmare does not intend revisit that feeling. On Thursday December 15th, Peter (24-1,21 KO's) is set to make his return to the ring against rugged Robert Hawkins (21-4, 7 KO's) at Global Warfare, presented by Warriors Boxing Promotions, on In-Demand PPV from the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, FL.
Peter will be looking to rebound from his tough loss at the hands of Wladimir Klitschko on September 24th in Atlantic City, in which he had the Russian giant down three times, coming ever so close to beating him. While most fighters may take the easy road following a disappointing defeat, promoter Dino Duva knows Robert Hawkins is no sure victory. "Robert Hawkins is a tough and credible fighter, says Duva. "This fight proves Sam Peter is a true warrior not afraid of anyone."
Assuming Peter is victorious against Hawkins, his manager Ivaylo Gotsev expects Peter to cement his spot as the future of the heavyweight division. "We are ready to challenge any big heavyweight that is willing to take Samuel Peter on," said Gotsev. "Whether it be Shannon Briggs, David Tua or whoever the champions are at that time, Sam is ready for them."
Gotsev also feels a match up of Peter against the winner of the co-main event, Lance "Mount" Whitaker (31-3-1, 26 KO) vs. unbeaten 2000 Olympic Silver Medalist, Russian bomber Sultan Ibragimov (18-0, 15 KO) who brawled at a November press conference would be a possibility.
Tickets are on sale now for "Global Warfare". They are priced at $150, $100, and $50. For more information please call the Hard Rock Live Box Office at (954) 797.5531 or contact Ticketmaster at (954) 523.3309 in Broward, (305) 358.5885 in Dade, (561) 966.3309 in Palm Beach or visit www.ticketmaster.com.

'People Power' 1 anniversary rites moved from Edsa to Malacañang
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—After almost three decades of celebrating democracy, Malacañang is toning down the festivities of for the 28th anniversary of the Edsa People Power Revolution.
Secretary Herminio Coloma of the Presidential Communications Operations Office said that the celebration for the 2014 anniversary of the Edsa People Power Revolution would be held at the Malacañang grounds on Feb. 25.
He said that Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, who heads the Edsa People Power Commission, was the one who decided the change of venues.
"Minding the situation of the people, and not to create a bigger problem on the traffic of Edsa, the celebrations would be conducted on the Malacañang grounds," Coloma said Sunday on an radio interview.
Coloma added that the flag-raising and the "Salubong," which is a tribute to the meeting of then Defense Minister, Senator Juan Ponce Enrile and Vice Chief of Staff, General, and former president, Fidel V. Ramos between Camps Crame and Aguinaldo.
President Benigno Aquino III would hold a public meeting, under the theme "Kapit-bisig para sa Pagbangon," to talk with representatives from different sectors.
"We are slowly taking away the center of the celebration from the people who stood up in 1986 in Edsa to the current generation of Filipinos who are now on the front against corruption," Coloma said.
He said that the government is still working to improve the quality of life of Filipinos who are experiencing "unjust poor conditions."

Cable operators and citizens are at crosspurposes on the road to digitalisation. With prices of set top boxes varying drastically and many operators losing customers because the latter can't afford the set top boxes, the state of affairs remained the same when the Karnataka high court earlier this month refused to let cable operators extend the deadline.
"I want to know why cable operators cite different prices for set top boxes, and also why they don't give us receipts. Many don't respond on the pretext that we should buy if we want to; they don't care. So, what happens to the poor who simply can't afford these boxes?" asks S Mukund, a concerned citizen. dna spoke to members of the Karnataka State Cable TV Operators Association (KSCTVOA) on many issues citizens are facing.
How much should the set top box cost?
According to Nagesh Kalvurgi of the KSCTVOA, the prices of set top boxes vary according to the model and the manufacturer, but should be in the range of Rs 1,200-1,500.
"We can't have a definitive price tag since there are different makes and brands, besides different types too. Moreover, many vendors are themselves importing set top boxes in the price range of Rs 1,800-2,000. For the same reason, we can't advertise a single price in the television ads either," he said.
Problems cable operators are facing
"There is a reason cable operators are not issuing receipts. Since we import those at around Rs 2,000, a receipt would mean that we want to charge as much. Right now, we are calling them activation charges and taking Rs 1,200-1,500," Kalvurgi said.
Ratan Kumar, a cable operator, said another reason for the difference in prices is the way the set top boxes are being installed. "We often have to take up additional wiring because of which the cost can go up by Rs 100. Besides, we need a profit margin too," he said.
Where are these boxes coming from?
According to cable operators, most set top boxes are being imported. Kumar said he gets his from China.
How many are opting for digitalisation?
"Many customers have told us that they cannot afford to pay even Rs 1,200 for the box, and we can't give it for free either. They can keep watching TV till this digitalisation happens. After that, it will only be blank screens for them," said Kumar, who has installed 600-700 units in his area.
Whom should one contact for support?
As of now, that would be your cable operator. RR Venkatesh, an operator, said only cable operators would be able to take the device to the right place to get them fixed (read, repaired).
"Sometimes channels just freeze on the screen. We can fix that. In case there is a problem with the unit itself, we know where to get it repaired," said Venkatesh,
What do operators really want?
Kalvurgi said cable operators want the government to extend the digitalisation deadline till price points for set top boxes are fixed.
