Extreme Sports: What's the Appeal?
The Motivation of Marathoners continued...
"It's a sense of identity," says Mayers. "The triathlon is not a sport that is crammed full of people. There are only a handful of people who have the ability to train for and accomplish this feat."
While competing in a group of elite athletes may bring money, fame, and glory, most importantly to some, it also brings a healthy dose of respect.
"Skiing down from the top of a mountain where a helicopter drops you off alone, or jumping out of planes, I have a feeling those people have a sense of identity and that identity is important to them because they feel that earns them respect," Mayers tells WebMD. "Caring for athletes as I do, my own personal opinion is that the most important desire they have is for respect."
The Adrenaline Factor
When it comes to extreme sports, the adrenaline factor likely plays a role in explaining why athletes reach for the outer limits as well.
An "adrenaline rush" occurs when the adrenal gland is stimulated through an activity that causes stress on the body, and certainly extreme sports, such as backcountry snowboarding and bungee jumping, fall into the category of causing stress. According to the University of Maryland Endocrinology Health Guide, the stimulation of the adrenal gland releases a number of hormones, including epinephrine, or adrenaline. This increases the heart rate and the force of heart contractions, facilitates blood flow to the muscles and brain, causes relaxation of smooth muscles, and helps with the conversion of glycogen to glucose in the liver. For extreme athletes, this adrenaline rush is a feeling that can't come often enough.
"A lot of extreme athletes report that they are seeking that rush," says Anderson. "They're looking for those sensations they get from putting their life on the line."
It's a feeling that can't be duplicated in any other activity, and for many, explains Anderson, it's a true sense of feeling alive.
"The emotion that the adrenaline feeds in to is a heightened sense of being alive," Anderson tells WebMD. "All your senses are in an acute level of awareness, and it's that fight or flight response. They either do it and live -- or they die. That is what they are playing in to, and that is a very primitive thing that is going on."

Recipe by HersheysKitchens.com
"Chocolate kisses are melted and spread on a graham cracker crust, then filled with a creamy peanut butter melange."

42 HERSHEY®'S KISSES® Milk Chocolates, divided
2 tablespoons milk
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup REESE'S® Creamy Peanut Butter
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
I found this dessert to be pretty good. I think next time I'll use a chocolate crust, and instead of melting hershy kisses, I'll make the chocolate layer with hot fudge ice cream topping.
I thought I had a sweet tooth. This was way over the top. Sweets normally do not sit long in our house. This lasted a whole week. Too rich for us.

This pie was really good, however, it didn't belong in a pie crust. I should have taken other reviewer's advice and used a chocolate crust. The filling is delicious and the chocolate layer on the bottom is a great idea. I drizzled the top of the pie with chocolate syrup and sprinkled nuts over the syrup--marvelous! The only downside was that crust--we aren't eating it, just picking out the filling. I'll make it again with the chocolate crust.
I made this for a dinner at my parents house today. This is the first day MOM ASKED ME FOR A RECIPE!!!!! Thanks!!!!
one word--EXCELLENT you must try it. unbelievable. this recipie is quite rich so be sure to have plenty of people to share it with! i assure you that this will be the talk of the night.
Wonderful, rich peanut butter and chocolate. Won the pie contest at work with this one! Thanks!
This was very good, but maybe a little too rich.
very rich....great and easy. Goes great with chocolate crust.

Living abroad and working firsthand with artisans solidified Cameron's belief that providing employment opportunities
is the most powerful way to transform the lives of impoverished women. She is incredibly passionate about the
idea of redeeming business- using it to transform lives and make the world a more beautiful place.
JACKIE GILLES (Boutique Accounts Manager)Jackie has always had a passion for growing and developing the identity of brands with a conscious. After graduating
from The University of Texas with a degree in French and Advertising, she did marketing for KIND, Sweet Leaf Tea

a career in broadcast journalism, working as an anchor-reporter at a CBS affiliate in Texas. And now combining her
background of journalism and public service, along with supporting her husband's charity in Haiti, "We Hear

Hockey: Tales from the Trough: Opening weekend starts rough for Rockford
By Todd Reicher
Sports Columnist
After a good 2-1 start in the preseason, the Rockford IceHogs looked to continue their momentum into the regular season with a double-header against the Chicago Wolves.
The first game was a show of both goaltenders, Eddie Lack for Chicago and Carter Hutton for Rockford.
Both teams started out somewhat timid in the opening frame, but opened up as the period grew longer. In fact, Rockford didn't get their first shot on goal until roughly midway through the opening frame, as Chicago outshot Rockford 9-4 in the first 20 minutes.
Despite all of the shots, neither goalie allowed one into the back of the net.
This trend would continue through the remainder of the game with both netminders making save after save, stymieing and frustrating shooters.
Sixty-five minutes of hockey in the books, and neither team was able to put a point up on the scoreboard.
Rockford's first game of the season would head into a shootout with both goaltenders receiving their first shutout of the year.
Our first official goals would finally materialize in the shootout with Jordan Schroeder getting a goal for Chicago, while Brandon Saad, Rockford's first shooter, was denied. Brandon Pirri knotted the shootout at 1-1 after the second round, making good on his attempt.
From there on out, it was all Chicago in the shootout, with Bill Sweatt and Darren Haydar scoring for the Wolves and Lack denying attempts from Brandon Bollig and Peter LeBlanc to give Chicago the 1-0 shootout victory.
Sunday's 3 p.m. matchup started off bad for Rockford and snowballed downhill as the game went on.
Andrew Ebbett scored 7:46 into the opening frame to give the Wolves a 1-0 lead.
Sloppy play in Rockford's own zone midway through the second led to a shorthanded goal for Chicago's Nathan Longpre. Brett Lebda had trouble handling the puck in the Rockford zone, and Longpre swooped in to grab the loose puck, giving him a one-on-one with Hutton. Longpre beat Hutton over his right shoulder to add to Chicago's lead.
Early in the third period, Brett Sterling scored an unassisted goal to increase Chicago's lead to 3-0.
Rockford finally got on the board a few minutes later with Jeremy Morin scoring for Rockford on the power play.
Just more than 30 seconds later, a slashing penalty by Sterling put Rockford on the man advantage once again, and this time it was Marcus Kruger tallying the power-play goal for the IceHogs, drawing Rockford to within one goal.
The scoring frenzy would continue, but it was Longpre who tallied his second of the game to give Chicago another two-goal advantage at the 9:46 mark.
Not to be outdone, Morin would tally his second goal of the game just 29 seconds after Longpre scored to once again close the gap to within one.
However, that is the closest Rockford would come, and Sweatt all but iced the game with 2:44 remaining to give Chicago a 5-3 victory.
Rockford's special teams played better Sunday, going 2-for-7 on the power play, while holding Chicago to 0-for-6. In total, Rockford would hold Chicago scoreless at 0-for-12 with the man advantage in the two-game series.
The IceHogs start week two Friday, Oct. 19, with their first regular season visit to Peoria to face the Rivermen for a 7:05 p.m. start.
Rockford's first home game is the following night, Saturday, Oct. 20, against the Charlotte Checkers at 7:05 p.m. Both teams remain in Rockford Sunday, Oct. 21, with the second game of the doubleheader taking place at 5:05 p.m. at the BMO Harris Bank Center.

New program may help create civil rights museum
Assistant professor of history Max Krochmal created the Texas Communities Oral History Project (TX-COHP), a program that aims to preserve the history of the civil rights movement in Fort Worth.
Krochmal said he ran into problems doing research in the field because many subjects did not leave behind written records.
TX-COHP was born out of his interest in the civil rights movement and the fact that many people from that era are dying. The Institute for Urban Living and Innovation at Addran College and the Center for Community Involvement & Service-Learning support the project alongside students and community partners....

Miley Cyrus Bikini Pictures With Shirtless Liam Hemsworth
Miley Cyrus Wears a Bikini and Shows Off a New Tattoo!
Miley Cyrus threw on her two-piece yesterday to join her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, at Orchard Lake in Michigan. The couple ventured into the water to share a jet ski when they weren't hanging on a dock with pals. As a complement to Miley Cyrus's bikini, she also debuted some body art. Miley's new tattoo features two lines on one of her fingers. Miley explained on Twitter that it was to support gay marriage, writing, "All love is equal." Miley was able to visit with Liam now that she's wrapped up her Gypsy Heart tour. He's staying in the state to shoot AWOL, and Miley will be back on the road soon if she chooses to attend the Teen Choice Awards this Sunday in LA. She's up for two awards, including best TV actress for Hannah Montana as well as Choice Red Carpet Fashion Icon.

Unlikely Web magnate Barry Diller says IAC needs an "aspirational" leader. Match.com CEO Greg Blatt may fit the bill.
Barry Diller is stepping down as CEO of IAC/Interactive, handing the reigns to Greg Blatt, previously the head of IAC's Match.com.
The executive changes accompany an agreement between IAC and Liberty Media to go their separate ways. Liberty had held 60 percent voting power in IAC, but will relinquish that for $220 million in cash and a full ownership of an IAC subsidiary that includes Evite and Gifts.com.
Diller will now become chairman of IAC, as well as the company's largest shareholder, with a 34 percent voting stake.
Greg Blatt has been with IAC since 2003. He became CEO of Match.com in February 2009.
"It's been clear to me for some time that this company needs a full time aggressive and aspirational executive in the CEO role," said Diller in a written statement. "While I'm not going anywhere, IAC, with its operating businesses growing, large cash resources and virtually no debt, needs the kind of leadership that Greg Blatt can bring it in order to continue to grow and thrive many years into the future."

Charitable giving
The gloomy economy will continue to dampen charitable giving, with nearly 7 in 10 Americans saying they will give less to charity in coming months and another 1 in 10 planning not to give until the economy starts to revive, a new study says.
Still, nearly 8 in 10 donors plan to keep giving to charities they already support, especially donors age 40 to 59 and those younger than age 40, says the study conducted by Campbell Rinker on behalf of Dunham+Company.
The study, part of a Campbell Rinker Donor Confidence online survey Aug. 12-15 of 497 adults who had donated at least $20 to charity in the previous 12 months, found only 2 in 10 respondents would consider donating to groups they never before had supported, with nearly 9 in 10 people over age 60 less willing to donate to a new cause, compared to nearly 2 in 3 under age 40.
The study also found donors who give online are more likely to keep giving than those who don't give online , with only 6 percent of online givers planning to stop giving, compared to 15 percent of those who don't give online.
And 14 percent of online givers are likely to cut other spending before cutting charitable donations, compared to 9 percent of those who don't give online.
"Our research has shown that online donors are more highly educated and have higher household incomes than donors who do not give online,"
Rick Dunham, president and CEO of Dunham+Company, says in a statement. "Charities would do well to focus attention on these donors to maintain their support and to find ways to acquire other donors via the web."
The top three factors affecting a donor's willingness to give are directly related to the U.S. economic climate, including reduced income because of job loss, the rising cost of personal or living expenses, and uncertainty over the economy, the study says.
That should concern charities, the study says, because 43 percent of those surveyed believing the economy will continue to decline, 31 percent believe it will stay and same, and only 17 percent expecting it to improve.
"Since 2008, our research into donor confidence consistently shows that individuals give more freely when they feel their expenses are under control," Dirk Rinker, president of Campbell Rinker, says in a statement.
"Few donors feel that way in this economy," he says. "In response, organizations might consider how to empathize with their constituents as they seek to engage and inspire them to maintain their level of support."
Among people who regularly attend religious services, 95 percent plan to keep giving, with one-third of that group indicating they are more willing to gi8ve in the coming months.
That group also was four time more likely to cut back on other expenses to keep donating, compared to those who don't attend religious services, and twice as likely to say that giving will be among the last of their expenses to be cut.
Comment on this article
- Professional Area: Fundraising/giving
This study does not address the importance of the donor feeling connected and invested to the charity. The scattergun approach to fundraising will certainly be less effective in difficult economic times, however my experience is that if a donor feels they are part of a greater good, they will want to participate.

95 legacy at oil temp just purchased from dealer
So I just posted a thread a few days ago double checking some rust that wasn't really rust - I bought the vehicle. 95 legacy lsi. I even ran a carfax on it and it checked out way better than expected.
I drove it from the dealer about 30 miles away to a show. when I got in the car again to drive home the check engine light came on code P0400 egr system. Not as worried about this since the dealer is obligated to fix it within 30 days. But, also at this time the at oil temp light did the dreaded 16 flashes and went off. I did notice a bit of bind during sharp turns during the test drives but I didn't think it was that bad since theres no slipping in the transmission or anything beyond that, aside from a slightly rough "D" to "P" shift. Obviously I don't know a lot about this stuff or it would have worried me more. Tranny fluid is full and not burnt, oil is a bit low. I've read this could be something like the duty C solenoid or just a sensor. I'm just gonna have to take it back to him or a subaru dealer I assume but I just wanted to see if anyone has had any similar symptoms and what ended up being their problem. Thanks!

Best Fashion Trends For 2013
Now Trending: What Prints, Cuts, and Shapes to Look For in 2013
One of the most enticing aspects about the new year is the prospect of pushing reset, replay, and renew on your styling outlook. We're not saying you should do away with what you already own and what you're currently wearing; rather, we're giving you a heads-up on what's on tap for 2013. While the Fall '13 collections have yet to show themselves (February, er, Fashion Month is but a month and some weeks away!), we've got more than enough Spring and Pre-Fall fodder to make some very informed observations about the silhouettes, prints, hemlines, and inspiration that will (and should) be on your radar in the year ahead. Listen, sex appeal — whether it be subtle or overt — reigns supreme, taking shape in the most revealing dress cutouts and the sweetest sheer overlays. Denim is having a moment (you'll see what we mean inside), designers are culling serious inspiration from the Far East, stripes aren't just for the classicist, and leather is — more than ever — a versatile luxury.

Re: [ID?] Getting to know you part 2
I am honored and humbled by the invitation.
Of my many hobbies imaging, or more specifically photography is the one I really have the most fun with and being a brat spoiling that fun was one of the trepidations I have always had when it came to the idea of making a living with photography, its a fear and maybe just a touch of laziness which goes a long way to explaining why until I have steadfastly remained an independent as doing so has allowed me to work when I wanted to and to starve when I didnt. It was a perfect synergy that fed me well at times while not gaining too much weight.
It all began when I was somewhere around fourteen or so years old which is a period of time that can only be described as a long, long time ago, I was in junior high and signed up for journalism which unlike creative writing allowed for a great deal of freedom outside of class.
My assigned job was to photograph develop and print school events mostly sports events even though our photography department didnt have any cameras, none the less I owned a TLR of questionable heritage and it became our official camera.
For each assignment a cameraman or two would be issued a single roll of Tri-X and a purple mimeographed page of the event from which we where expected to bring back the winning shot and once in awhile we did.
It was fun work very addictive (think chicks) and it got me in the door as an unpaid assistant at a local studio and carried me through high school, then I hit 18 and the parental funding ended so to speak.
I had to get a job a paying job and many jobs did I get none of which I liked nor cared much about, then as it would be my luck turned.
I set the TLR aside and graduated to a 35mm having purchased a like new Honeywell Pentax SLR, it was a rather rugged camera which served me very, very well and at around the same time I discovered through a friend the concept of stringing, which turned out to be a real game changer, it allowed me the freedom to come and go as I pleased I was working outside and it afforded me the privilege to work with some of the best photographers in town, one of whom rather frankly explained to me my work left a lot to be desired though that isnt quite how he worded it.
Again luckily for me, we where both single, had a work hard, play hard, drink hard attitude and chased women, occasionally the same one and this friendly competition turned into a lifelong relationship and a mutual learning experience for all things photographic and beyond.
In time I moved from the Pentax to a Canon T-50 then on to the T-70 which like the Pentax served me very well, then came this crap called digital, I had a chance to try out a Canon 1D at a shop in Miami and even though after reviewing the shots which I quickly determined where considerably below 35mm film it was a digital version of a Polaroid on steroids it provided no waiting instant results and I saw it as a serious time saver and a leg up on anyone shooting silver, I busted the bank and bought one.
A couple of years later I inadvertently used my 1D as a boat anchor and even though the camera was quickly recovered drained and dried, it came back from Canon with a note which should been on a hook stating Sorry Charlie though they where able to refurbish the lens that went in with the camera, go figure.
Since then I have had a couple of 10Ds and now work with a matched set of 1DMKIIs and I avoid water like the plague.
Then theres video which many camera folks consider voodoo, I began getting serious with it around 2000 after picking up a Panasonic AJ-DP800 which was a wonderful 3CCD SVHS shoulder held camcorder, it like my other cameras served me well though after burning out a drum it finally bit the dust beyond its worth and was later replaced with a couple of JVC GY-HD200/250s, I decided to jump on the HD bandwagon for two reasons the first one being FOX News made it clear to their affiliates once they changed over to HD the use of non-HD content would curtailed which means no pay and the sales of HD sets was rising steadily which to me indicated they where being widely accepted and 4:3 would soon become passé.
Then last year we added a Panasonic AJ-HDX900 and a couple of 7Ds, and as the old saying goes so much for any form of retirement in my near future.

Re: Spotlight On! [Tag your it]
from the last time we did this, so I'll just give some updates.
Four years later, and not a lot has changed. The hobbies have pretty much stayed the same, though I'm not into the computers quite as much since I've been more into photography, having come into it later in life. I still work for the same company, but now in a management role, and I've also started laboring a little for a good friend that has a handyman business. Same house, though a bathroom flood a few years ago started the endless cycle of home renovations that's taking up more of my shooting time, and has also led to the temporary suspension of my nail gun privileges (how was I supposed to know there was a pipe in that wall I just painted?). The family has had a couple of minor changes. Beauty has since left us, as I shared in our Pet Memorial thread. Tagger has since joined us, and was featured in last week's Artify #325, hosted by my oldest daughter, who already has a better eye for this stuff than I probably ever will. I'm still at the stage where pulling off a good shot is considered luck on my part. The bulk of my shooting involves landscapes, any events involving my family and friends, and any fire scenes I happen across, though I think I'd like to get a little more into portrait work. That's all that's coming to mind for now, but if for some strange reason you want to know more, just ask.
So now, who do I tag? So many to choose from. I think I'm going to take some inspiration from
recent return and see if I can't get an old timer that hasn't been around in a while to come back into the fold. What do you say

I am no David Einhorn, but I was fortunate to have one of my stocks make a run recently: Garmin (NASDAQ:GRMN) rose to $48 because of strong earnings, giving me a nice return from my purchase price of $33 in May 2011.
If you bought McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) or Visa (NYSE:V) in May, you are in the same boat that I am:
Stock | Garmin | McDonald's | Visa |
Price on May 2 '11 | $34 | $78 | $79 |
Price today | $48 | $101 | $117 |
Percent return | 41% | 42% | 48% |
My initial reaction when Garmin hit $48 was to sell and reallocate the capital to another undervalued stock. But then I decided to channel my inner-Mitt Romney and research the capital gains tax laws before pulling the trigger on the sale. Capital gains are taxed at your regular income tax rate if the shares were held one year or less, but at a lower, special rate if they were held over a year.
By holding three months longer to reach the twelve-month plateau, an investor's tax burden on selling the stock declines. The following table demonstrates this for the 15% and the 33% tax brackets, assuming 1% transaction costs and share purchases at the May 2, 2011 price listed in the table above:
Actual returns after short-term capital gains tax | ||||||
Share price today | GRMN: $48 | MCD: $101 | V: $117 | |||
Tax bracket | 15% | 33% | 15% | 33% | 15% | 33% |
$ Realized per share | 45.49 | 43.06 | 96.69 | 92.73 | 110.30 | 103.67 |
Actual returns after long-term capital gains tax | ||||||
Price May 3 '12 | GRMN: $48 | MCD: $101 | V: $117 | |||
Tax bracket | 15% | 33% | 15% | 33% | 15% | 33% |
$ Realized per share | 47.52 | 45.49 | 99.99 | 96.69 | 115.83 | 110.30 |
You can see that by holding the stock for a year, you are essentially paid a bonus by the government. Not bad. Of course, you are taking the risk that the stock might go down beyond the tax benefit, but then it also might go up.
Some clever investors may want to have their cake and eat it too: by shorting about three-fourths of his or her current holdings, an investor nearly can lock in the current price and wait to sell when the long-term capital gains rate hits, then cover the short for a smaller short-term gain or loss and pay fewer taxes as a whole. But the IRS does not allow this practice, with a prohibition against "wash sale" trades designed to turn maximize short-term losses and long-term gains. Wash sale rules prevent you from using tax losses on stocks you are short and long at the same time, or that you sell and re-buy within 30 days. For more info on wash sale rules, click here.
Here's a tax tactic that the IRS does allow: Say you bought one lot of shares in May and another in November. You want to minimize your taxes, but you also want to get rid of your shares as soon as you can. You can tell your broker or the trading web site you use to alter the cost basis calculation from first in, first out (FIFO) to last in, first out (LIFO). Then sell your November shares today. You will be taxed at the short-term rate for those shares. But you can sell your remaining shares in May to get the long-term capital gains rate on that lot and exit the position. Be sure that you do not employ dividend reinvestment on your shares, because that may cause the wash sale rule to kick in.
Even if you are a buy-and-hold kind of guy/gal not concerned about tax management, one quick tip: You may want to sell around October 2012. That's because the capital gains taxes for 2013 are increasing. This is an incentive for investors and fund managers to sell in late 2012 and capture gains while the tax rate is still low. In turn, those gains will prompt investors to sell their losing stocks as well to realize capital losses that further minimize the current tax burden. A Graham-and-Doddsville investor may choose to ride the wave, but someone who likes to play the market's ups and downs may want to consider selling shares before November '12 and jumping back in by late December.
Disclaimer: I am not a CPA. This is an opinion based on research. There could be wrinkles in the tax laws that my research did not reveal. I advise you to talk to an accountant about your specific tax situation before you wholeheartedly rely on this advice.

Climate & Soils
October 2011
For much of the month, October 2011 felt more like summer than autumn. The first three days of the month were exceptionally warm, the warmest being 1/10/11 when 29.1°C was reached, and even the last day of the month saw the temperature climb to 17.8°C. There was a cooler period mid month, and only 12.9 was recorded on the 19th.
It was another very dry month with only 16.9mm of rain, and most of this fell in insignificant amounts so the grass looked brown in places and the ground was dry to quite a significant depth - not great for the autumn planting programme. Total rainfall for the year so far is just 303.3mm, significantly below average.
There was not quite an air frost on the night of 20th, since insulating cloud increased, but the grass min was -3.2°C.

Just imagine the numbers when iTunes goes international…
Posted by kainjow on March 15, 2004 at 12:03 PM (CST)
Makes you wonder how this compares to Kazaa's/eDonkey's amount for daily downloads. Hehe.. :op
Seriously though, with p2p's trillions of non-drm'ed audio downloads, it's increasingly difficult to imagine itunes ever catching up.
Posted by eric on March 15, 2004 at 12:20 PM (CST)
50 million legal downloads is much better then 0.
Posted by kainjow on March 15, 2004 at 12:24 PM (CST)
This number is good for Apple, but ultimately what is it doing for the record companies (not that I'm concerned for the welfare of the RIAA)?
I think the 50 million downloads were by people who were serious prospects for buying an entire album the old fashioned way, but now have the opportunity to get the one track they want for 99 cents. The labels may have sacrificed a $13 sale for a buck with many of these downloads.
The online customers are coming from somewhere… some from Kazaa… some from legitimately buying full-priced CDs.
I think it's bad news in the long run for the labels to sell the albums by parcel and piecemeal.
(Yes, I do agree that $50million is better than $0, but for who?)
Posted by BigSid in Los Angeles on March 15, 2004 at 12:53 PM (CST)
Sometimes it's such a pain to download what I want from Kazaa (getting a complete track without interuptions in the song) I give up and buy it from iTunes.
Posted by Bud on March 15, 2004 at 1:00 PM (CST)
50 million songs downloaded in the US and zero in europe…..hmmmm. Doesn't do me much good.
Posted by twum on March 15, 2004 at 1:26 PM (CST)
Wasn't the goal supposed to be 100 million by this time?......
Posted by Scribble on March 15, 2004 at 6:18 PM (CST)
Everyone just better realize that AAC is THE compressed music standard and that all the others just plain suck. Now with all those millions of downloads at perfect quality, all you windows geeks with your ugly sounding WMA and even sorrier MP3 just better do a reformat and erase and jump on board the steamengine that did AAC and ITUNES music store. Matter of fact, just throw all your cd's away while your at it after youve converted them to AAC.
Posted by tiger woods on March 15, 2004 at 8:01 PM (CST)
sorry, but 128 aac is hardly perfect quality
Posted by Fiddytree on March 15, 2004 at 8:24 PM (CST)
"sorry, but 128 aac is hardly perfect quality"
It's a hell of a lot better than 128k WMA! Personally, i'm very happy with the quality of the tracks on iTMS. It would be perfect (in my eyes) if they offered 192k files instead, but you can't always get what you want.
Posted by people are dumb on March 15, 2004 at 10:01 PM (CST)
The goal of 100 Million INCLUDES the promotions with AOL and Pepsi's Giveaway, by April 28th. I wasn't sure of this fact until As the Apple Turns went over Job's speech here.
Posted by MacCodeSmith on March 16, 2004 at 6:15 AM (CST)

It's very difficult to distinguish between the latest generation of formats at the same bit rates, and I don't think you are able to do it. Especially since you consider 128kbps AAC to be fine.
Posted by MeshAir on March 16, 2004 at 10:17 AM (CST)
Before I see another post about it:
The goal is 100 million songs INCLUDING Pepsi giveaway songs.
These 50 million were BOUGHT, so they were exclusive from the Pepsi giveaway.
Everyone on the same page now?
Posted by Chris Derry on March 16, 2004 at 10:26 AM (CST)
And analysts are expecting in the range of 65-75 million… including Pepsi… still far short of the goal.
Yup, now we're on that same page.
