The six-minute, 32-second song is laced with a variety of different guitar motifs for the first two-thirds or so, smoothly transitioning from shrill cries to fast, distorted licks, and finally to a much heavier plunking.

She's currently third on the 2007 LPGA money list, with $432,833, after winning the Kraft Nabisco Championship this month, becoming the youngest woman, at 18, to take a golf major. Uncle Aaron holds the same...
...many words to describe the game she had today.” Trailing the Eagles [10-23, 2-12 ACC] 9-8 entering the final inning, sophomore catcher Hayley Bock led off with a walk and was pinch run for by sophomore Bailey Vertovez. After freshman third baseman Melissa Schellberg popped to catcher, freshman right fielder Jennifer Francis doubled to center. Next up was senior left fielder Susie Winkeller, who tied the game with a single to left. Freshman pinch hitter Jessica Pledger then singled to right to score Francis and regain the lead from BC. Two batters...
