		<description><![CDATA[Over at the ASAE &#038; The Center for Association Leadership, we are discussing transforming volunteers into leaders.

		<description><![CDATA[Capitalist philanthropy &#8212; the phrase is almost a heresy, pitting greedy pigs and their code of sins against honest paupers and their labors of love. With a hint of good versus evil and a touch of ugly, the concept, being not without controversy, is practically alien to everyday life. How could such a thing exist, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most conceptions of fairness are childish, so said Richard Lavoie in his 1989 How Difficult Can This Be? workshop.
Lavoie explained that fairness does not mean providing everyone an equal amount of something, such as instruction or resources. Fairness means providing individuals what they need. Speaking to parents of learning-disabled children, he proved his point: [Sandra] [...]]]></description>

Wii is playful. You [...]]]></description>

A blend of Spanish and Celtic, perhaps? I wrote this tune three years ago, in 2005. I have since forgotten how to play this melody exactly as recorded. That&#8217;s one of the reasons I don&#8217;t like recording. Once I lay down a track, I tend to [...]]]></description>
