E Michigan 59
(7-4, 1-3 away)
(9) Duke 82
(10-2, 8-0 home)
Coverage: ESPN2/WatchESPN
2:00 PM ET, December 28, 2013
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Durham, North Carolina
Top Performers
Eastern Michigan: M. Talley 20 Pts, 2 Reb, 3 Ast, 1 Stl
Duke: A. Dawkins 20 Pts, 3 Reb, 2 Stl, 2 Blk
Jabari Parker has been as good as advertised in his freshman season, but the Duke standout contends he's still learning the ropes.
He'll look to help the ninth-ranked Blue Devils extend the longest active home winning streak in the nation against non-conference opponents when they face Eastern Michigan on Saturday.Parker has lived up to the hype as one of the nation's top recruits, ranking second in the ACC at 22.1 points per game with a 55.0 field-goal percentage that's third best in the conference.His 47.5 percent clip from 3-point range also ranks third. He went 4 of 8 while scoring 23 points as Duke (9-2) beat UCLA 80-63 on Dec. 19 at Madison Square Garden.Parker added 10 rebounds and five assists, and he's committed four turnovers over his last three games."I'm just going to do whatever it takes to win," Parker said. "I don't have to take 20 shots for us to win. I'm just learning to play the proper role right now."Coach Mike Krzyzewski has continued to praise Parker for his instincts despite being just 11 games into his first season. He's scored at least 20 points nine times and has three double-doubles."He's a natural," Krzyzewski said. "In different sports there are people who are naturals. Jabari is a natural. He can become even better."Somewhat overshadowed by Parker's stellar start has been the play of Mississippi State transfer Rodney Hood, who is averaging 18.5 points while shooting an ACC-best 55.4 percent from the field.While the sophomore has combined with Parker to form the third-highest scoring tandem in the nation with 40.6 points per game, Hood has scored below his average in three straight games while shooting 41.0 percent.Duke will look to extend its home win streak versus non-conference foes to 109 against Eastern Michigan, which will be facing its third Top 25 foe.The Eagles (7-3) didn't fare well against the previous two, falling to then-No. 3 Kentucky on Nov. 27 and to then-No. 21 Massachusetts on Dec. 3. Their schedule doesn't get any easier with a trip to face No. 2 Syracuse on Tuesday.EMU is coming off an 81-79 win over Oakland last Saturday, as Darell Combs' 3-pointer with 30 seconds remaining in overtime gave it the lead for good. Mike Talley finished with career highs of 21 points and nine assists."He continued to hit bucket after bucket, he got guys involved and continued to push the ball," coach Rob Murphy said of Talley. "He's continuing to grow."The redshirt junior point guard sat out all of last season after transferring from Duquesne."Every game it's somebody different that has to make an impact, and it was my day," Talley said. "Coach Murphy has confidence in me."Duke leads the ACC with 85.5 points a game while shooting a conference-best 51.4 percent. Eastern Michigan, though, is holding opponents to 36.7 percent shooting and 65.3 points per contest while forcing an average of 16.5 turnovers.The only meeting between these teams came when the Eagles beat the Blue Devils 75-60 in the first round of the 1996 NCAA tournament.SPONSORED HEADLINES

The Maltese, inhabiting three small Mediterranean islands south of Sicily, possess and are possessed by a unique culture, including a language derived from Carthaginian (Punic), Arabic and Italian, and an indigenous musical heritage largely forgotten or overlaid by later influences. This latter condition motivated the launch of the band Etnika, an ethnomusicological project to recreate traditional Maltese music. Zifna is their second recording. I cannot comment on the historical authenticity of the results, but can observe that the band's music is as short on musical cognates, or easily recognized (if often deceptive) reference points, as is the Maltese language, which at first sounded to me like Slavic; Zifna could easily serve as the soundtrack for a science fiction film set on an Earthlike world. I can also assert that it is wonderful and compelling music, excellent not only in performance but in conception.
"Tal-Hahaj" is the liveliest track, and also the most familiar, a Sicilian romp on flute and violin, but also darkly colored by deep cello passages. "Il Festa Ta-Babu" could almost be a Bahian carnaval track with its shuffling drums, trombones, tubas, and party atmosphere, and the final track, "Zaqq u Tambur," showcases another Maltese bagpipe, the double-piped iz-zaqq, framed by short-wave radio snippets. The most intriguing track, "Orqod, Orqod," presents a disconcerting lullaby, discordant vibrato guitar, violin, and clattery percussion offering another ominous background for Pomorski's muttered vocals, open-stop piano and saxophone solos oddly consoling in context.
Zifna is some of the most interesting and challenging music you are likely to hear this season on this Earthlike world. - Jim Foley

Nassau Sea Lion Encounter Excursion Reviews
Enjoyed the ferry again, even saw dolphins in the water. Island was beautiful, trainers were great. They allowed us to pose for one additional anniversary couple photo with the sea lions too. As mentioned above, the encounter was changed up slightly as they are training Jack since Maggie was recovering from an ailment. Bonnie took our deck photos, she is SO cute and personable! Jack was the one we had in the water, and he shook our hands and did a lot of the typical things but he did not have much contact with us (versus hugging in the water, kisses, and lots of petting back and forth, we didn't get that this time.) Still, they gave us lots of time with 3 different sea lions and it was still wonderful and delightful. The trainers really care for their babies and our group still enjoyed it a lot. Equally as enjoyable was the rest of the day on the island. We swam both in the lagoon and on the reef, and the adventurous ones played on the inflatable water park literally for hours, talk about your $15 value! The food was just as good as it always was, and the virgin and adult drinks as nice too. We really enjoyed our laid back day at Blue Lagoon and enjoyed the ferry back too. It is a wonderful island to visit, and I would go back again for a third time. Watching the dolphins play in the marine area was awesome too. There is something for everyone on this island, and also plenty of shade.
We did the Sea Lion encounter and it was BY FAR the best thing I have ever done on a cruise. The sea lions were so cute and we had a lot of interaction with them. After our sea lion excursion we were allowed to stay on their private beach which was beautiful! Next year we are bringing the kids!!

Thread: Workhorse Niche (not creed) |
Hi, everyone!
I'm looking to make my first trek into the world of niche. I keep hearing great things about expensive materials, great perfumers, higher oil concentrations...
What is your favorite niche fragrance that can be worn any time of the year/day?

PDN New York is up there... but really there are so many; it's not possible to name one.
I agree with mrclmind. Barring off the wall eccentric releases, almost ANY niche can be a viable workhorse as long as you know how much to apply to get the desired inoffensive sillage...
I've worn these to work:
1725 by Histoires de Parfums
1969 by Histoires de Parfums
5 O'clock au Gingembre by Serge Lutens
Douce Amere by Serge Lutens
Musk to Musk by Montale

I guess, level of quality is usually a perceived subject? As an average (just slightly more obsessed/enthusiastic) consumer, I don't actually know for sure if the scents I am smelling, Niche or Designer contain a better level of better ingredients. Though, if I set such a prerequisite for niche fragrances, I am afraid that I may feel very let down with many that I sniff. I am sure some houses use more expensive ingredients, but I also realise they may not smell "expensive" or of a higher quality, to me. As I have explained before about my personal term of "niche": I just tend to relate to niche as highly unusual/very specific to certain taste. I am far more let down by a "niche" scent that smells conventional, than a designer scent that smells generic. Again, Disclaimer: Not a Niche/desginer-Snob.
With that in mind, a scent that strikes me as very well-made is:
Chergui from Serge Lutens
If I could only choose 1 scent to wear everyday, this would be it, for now.
Last edited by MFJ; 28th February 2010 at 04:59 AM.
My favorite to wear anytime/anywhere is The Different Company - Sel de Vetiver.
I admit I'm not a huge fan of Creed, but they do have a few scents which I might consider "workhorses." Why do you automatically not want a Creed?

Acqua di Parma Colonia trio. My personal favorite is Assoluta but all three are terrific.
I echo mrclmind's question; why not Creed?
If I were looking for a workhorse type fragrance (one that can be worn whenever and would not seem out of place in black tie or jeans and t-shirt) I'd probably pick a vetiver based fragrance. The recommendation of Sel de Vetiver is a good one, but Red Vetyver by Montale would be a good pick as well.
If vetiver is not your thing then try Absolutment Absinth (not a favorite here on BN but one that I find very wearable and pleasant), Bois d'Iris by TDC, Hindu Grass or Absinthe by Nasomatto.
If you are looking for orientals I would recommend Ambre 114 or Caravelle Epicee by Frapin.
Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them. - Immanuel Kant
I don't love it myself, but PdN New York a great, very versatile workhorse scent.
Le Labo Rose 31 probably the niche that is most versatile in my collection. It leans a bit sexy, but I've worn it to work a lot.
If you just don't like Creed, whatever. But many of theirs are indeed very good for daily use.
Offrez-Lui by Galimard

I agree, Creed is a house that you can't judge on those 3 scents. There are a few I really do like, i.e., Royal Scottish Lavender, Vetiver, Bois du Portugal, Ambre Cannelle, Royal Delight. Silver Mountain Water is one I actually think is quite good.
Last edited by mrclmind; 27th February 2010 at 08:31 PM.
I like New York above BdP, and they are, in my opinion similar enough to not need both.
Have you tried any of the Annick Goutal scents?
Of course, I love many from Nicolai personally. I also enjoy Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan, and Chergui. Have you tried the Amouage scents yet? There are some exceptional fragrances from that house; Dia, is one I would call a "workhorse."
Interesting, after making my thread about suggestions for my new workhorse scent that's relatively easy to find (niche or designer), I decided to pick out a few more to try out on a whim. A few of them just happened to be listed here and I got decants of those on the way! LOL. Nicolai's New York, two AdP Colonias, Le Labo Rose 31, and Creed's Bois du Portugal. I'm just starting to get into niche fragrances, so I figured the best route is to try other houses instead of just Creed (IMO, Creed's a bit overrated since there's plenty of other houses that didn't need to rely on gimmicky history lessons that are just as good).

Noir Epices from the Frederic Malle line would be a good workhorse. I don't own it, but if I wanted something to wear every day, that would probably be it. It is extremely well made, yet understated. I suppose it's a bit like a niche equivalent of Eau Sauvage.
For a nice starter woody scent, you could try Tam Dao

Amouage Silver is a classy workhorse scent. I actually feel Lyric Man is wearable in quite a few situations too, and I think you will find it so as well Spray, if you are comfortable wearing Fleur du Male, as Lyric is more masculine than it, imo.
I think Sel de Vetiver or Un Parfum des Sens et Bois by The Different Company are worth investigating. Of course, I've got to recommend Bois de Turquie, especially if you like orange, cinnamon, and the scent of bay leaves. An ethereal and elegant scent that remains casual because of its light handling. A scent full of heavy notes rendered in a light fashion.
I think you should investigate some of the scents that really exemplify the niche experience though, too, instead of just the workhorse fragrances which tend to be a bit more conservative and don't tend to exemplify the designer/actual-high-end-niche (a lot of niche isn't!) divide as well.
Check out some MPG scents, definitely some Amouage (you need to sniff Gold!) and more Malles.

Looking through my own wardrobe, I've been increasingly finding my latest acquisition, Oud Cuir d'Arabie, to fulfill the "anytime" fragrance spot in my wardrobe. It's off-beat and interesting in its accord, yet simple, transparent, and clean enough that I never feel drowned in something "perfumey".
I wear Rose 31 a LOT and in all kinds of weather (granted, in LA that's not a huge spectrum of temperatures).
For all the future viewers of this thread I've got to suggest a seldom mentioned floral suede and vetiver (I think) mix that's found in the wonderful Baladin by Patricia de Nicolai.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
Profumum's Ichnusa is a green, clean scent that lasts a quite a while, and I can see working great in the summer, though I've only tried it in the winter. After a couple of hours it reminds me of Mugler Cologne.
L'Air du Desert Marocain is a really great niche perfume but I think could be a bit heavy for the summer, it has a dry quality that might make it annoying when it's hot out.
Divine L'Homme Sage is a workhorse for me, but I think Nicolai NY is a better fragrance.
Unisex niche, my workhorse frags are Chanel Eau de Cologne from the Exclusifs line, and Miller Harris Tangerine Vert.

It's not exactly a workhorse niche - more of a special occasion scent, but I think you should check out Amouage Reflection, too, given (again) your love for Fleur du Male. Reflection has a wonderful neroli note but it's not nearly so front and center as in FdM. Here it shares the stage with the most realistic orris absolute note (my g/f even noted how easy it was to pick up the smell of the orris absolute, which I've had her smell [the raw material] before, in the scent).
The iris stays throughout, lending a luminescent quality to the scent (someone once, aptly, recommended it in a thread asking for a scent that would best represent the smell of moonlight), along with some sweetness and powder. The orange blossom fades and is replaced by a beautiful jasmine note, which combines with the orris and a chocolatey patchouli note to give the floral heart a 'dusted-with-cocoa-powder feel'. The base is a rich and smooth blend of sandalwood, some lingering iris and jasmine, and the patchouli. An absolutely refined, ultra-smooth, ultra-rich smelling scent. It doesn't contain any of that synthetic plasticky quality that FdM has (I still love FdM though). It never becomes too indulgent though, throwing in some perfectly utilized odd notes to act as a counterpoint. There is a camphory coolness and a slightly bitter quality to the sandalwood and cedar that creates tension when juxtaposed with the floral heart.
Given your love of Fleur du Male and the fact that you aren't afraid to tread into scents that might be less traditionally masculine and far more floral than the norm, I think you might really like this scent. If nothing else, after having sampled the scent you'll know what a fine quality orris absolute smells like!

I just purchased a $3 sample of PdN New York from luckyscent.com. I can't wait to sniff it!
Thanks for helping me find this.
The other suggestions will be added to my "must sniff" file. I will sniff them soon!

Although my reply comes a bit late, I consider the understated elegance of Opus 1870 by Penhaligons or Hugh Parsons yellow to be just perfect for daily wear
PdN New York smelled like lipstick and and face powder to me. I gave it to my mom. Next I'm going to try:
L'air du Desert Marocain
I just sprayed PdN NY on my wrist while I was reading this. I go the same impression, but I was thinking along the lines of, "It smells like an old lady." and I've never said that about any fragrance. I even wear Dior Homme very comfortably too. Now, Frederic Malle's "Musc Ravageur", I can see myself wearing fairly often, but probably not as a work horse. That'll be quite dangerous. I'm still testing though. Le Labo Rose 31 was just simply a rose garden, dirt and all. I can understand the concept, it's just not my thing. Acqua di Parma Colonia was a too light and too woody for my tastes, but Assoluta was a bit of a different beast with notes in the dry down that softens the edges. Oh JC Ellena, you've done it again.
I got into niche perfumes just last year and I think you should try Eau d'Italie-Paestum Rose.This is an excllent rose perfume.I love it.
I second mrclmind's suggestion to try Annick Goutal scents. I've got Les Nuits d'Hadrien and Eau du Sud which are amongst my go-to scents. Also try scents from Penhaligon's, Trumper, and Parfums d'Orsay.
You could try Lorenzo Villoresi's Vetiver. I find it to be good day and night any time of the year.
Try an get a sample if you can.
Last edited by Kash; 6th March 2010 at 04:30 PM.
Lorenzo Villoresi Uomo would make a general daily, I think. Divine L'Homme Sage makes a good daily in cooler weather. Miller Harris L'Air de Rein in summer.
I also agree with many of the recommendations above - PdN New York, several Malles like French Lover, Angeliques sous La Pluie and Bigarade Concentree.
As other have said, there are countless niche fragrances that would make good daily workhorses, so this is really difficult.

"It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing; it's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing."
As it should be, first analyze the situation. Scenting Your work means coworkers are around, customers, clients? Could they flee if necessary? Working white or blue color? My own experimentation led to the following scents in an office a) open window, literally b) informal: Floramye by L.T. Piver c) formal: English lavender by Yardley. All three are 'niche' as they are =far= out of the mainstream business. The impact of all three on my coworkers or clients noses is high. Lavender has been ennobled by Luca Turin again. It's austere but relaxing clarity boosts my and the customers mood towards sustainable compromises. The Floramye is just uplifting sweet and flowery, an Archaeopteryx of perfumery, kitsch, fun. I don't want the fragrance to impress, but my knowledge and handling of it will ever again make my roommates wonder, so or so.
Rawk, how many rose heavy scents are you familiar with? I'm not questioning your thoughts, but Rose 31, the reason at least that I like it, is because it manages to keep the rose in the background, layering on top of it, so many masculine and sexy notes, that the rose really isn't the star player, which I prefer. I just find it odd that you get so much rose out of it, because if you continue to sample more niche ( or even select designers) most scents that claim to be rose scents are far heavier on rose.

Oh, it's not super rose garden. I think that's a bad description. I get more of an earthy rose scent. This is actually the first rose based fragrance I've smelled, so pardon my inexperience with the rose note. I figured I would imagine that's how a rose garden smelled like. Fresh woods and roses....?
Edit: I just sprayed it on my arm. I think it'll take a few wearings to really understand it. I think that's going to be the case with most niche fragrances I'm going to try since a lot of them are out of the ordinary and my nose is trying to process what I'm smelling. It's starting to become woody, soapy, and a bit calming too. I definitely get a sexy vibe from Rose 31. So far so good, but as far as soapy scents, I dunno if it'll overtake Infusion d'Homme and Mugler Cologne as my modern favorites at the moment.

New screen-covered smartphone sibling in alleged developer-forum snap leak shocker!
Samsung's new flagship phone may have made its way out into the wild already. Whatever it is looks refreshingly different – and by different I mean similar to the iPhone 6.
Samsung's come up with a novel way of promoting the Galaxy S6 ahead of its expected launch at Mobile World Congress in a few days -- creating its own high-concept mock-up images of fantasy devices, then instantly debunking them.
Look at the pink lighting on the edge there. A bit more screen for your thumbs, g'vnor?
It's...well. It's a glimpse at the silhouette of the edge of the new Samsung Galaxy S6 phone.
It's 2015 and human rights violations in factories shouldn't be A Thing. So we asked eight big tech firms where they stood…
Despite prior denials, it turns out that Samsung Smart TVs are recording what users are saying, behind no encryption.
Samsung has announced that it's buying LoopPay—a company that figured out how to trick magnetic stripe readers to accept your money wirelessly.
It is, essentially, an iOS version of the Android-based Gear VR.
Plunked down for the Samsung handset and headset two-piece? You're on fire!
Samsung jubilantly announced at this year's CES as 2015 being "just the beginning of an incredible smart TV future." And they were right. Incredibly bad.
One new Sammy model will be all-metal and feature a screen that covers three of its sides, according to a report by Bloomberg.
Samsung has gone on record to say that its smart TVs aren't recording and transmitting everything we say, despite it perhaps sounding a lot like they do.
They say "innovative", we read "mad".
The Galaxy S6 and S6 Galaxy Edge are both Real Things – well, according to the Finnish and Swedish Samsung support sites, which both featured live pages referencing the two versions of Samsung's flagship phone that are expected to be revealed within weeks. Bit of a whoopsie, that.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Jets enjoy New York state of mind at Central Park practice
NEW YORK — The sun came up on the Winnipeg Jets today, literally shining on them for an hour in Central Park.
About 24 hours after sleep-walking through the early part of their morning start against the Philadelphia Flyers, and losing 2-1, the NHL team went outdoors for a skate today.
The 60-minute session on the Lasker Ice Rink in the far north of Central Park was more about fun and less about work after the team fell to 12-12-4 in the Central Division standings.
The Jets are 2-1 so far on their six-game road trip that continues Monday night at Madison Square Garden against the Rangers.
"Why would I not like it?" Jets centre Bryan Little said. "It was pretty cool, a different experience. I can't remember the last time I skated outdoors. It was pretty fun.
"I had three or four ponds really close to me I used to play on. Like I said, can't remember the last time I was outside so this was pretty cool."
With a two-day break between games, it afforded the Jets a chance to go off routine for some team-building.
"I think it was nice to get our minds off that last game, hopefully kind of refresh us for the next one," Little said. "Everyone was pretty upset yesterday but guys had fun today and we're moving on."
Fun and moving on were exactly the things Jets coach Claude Noel had in mind today.
"I think it was good, good for the players today to remind you of growing up a little bit, especially most Canadian kids anyway," Noel said. "Just a fun day. For us, it just kind of loosens up and gets a little bit of team-building for the players, making it fun."
The inevitable question from reporters about how the loss to the Flyers was sitting clearly hadn't vanished from the coach's view.
"I've moved on," he said. "So I'm not going to go down that road again. It's a game we could have won and we would have had to have played better.
"We gave them three power plays in the first and gave them a fourth, actually, a five-one-three (to start the second). We didn't manage it very well. It was a game we could have won.
"But we've moved on."
Evander Kane, who left Friday's game with a lower-body injury, and defenceman Toby Enstrom watched today from the sidelines, given "maintenance" days.
The coach indicated that both players could play Monday.

Quitting smoking can 'relieve stress,' study finds
14 February 2014 Last updated at 12:25 GMT
Quitting smoking can relieve stress, according to a new study.
Researchers at the Universities of Birmingham, Oxford and Kings College London found that quitting was just as effective as taking antidepressants.
The findings challenge the common belief that smoking cigarettes can tackle stress and depression.
Gemma Taylor, who led the study, told BBC Radio 5 live's Morning Reports: "Their mood actually improves because they're no longer reliant on a drug to be normal."

John Lennon was an English musician who gained worldwide fame as one of the founder members of The Beatles, for his subsequent solo career, and for his political activism and pacifism. He was shot to death by Mark David Chapman at the entrance to the building where he lived, The Dakota, in New York City on Monday 8 December 1980. Lennon had just returned from Record Plant Studio with his wife, Yoko Ono.
Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival at Roosevelt Hospital. He was 40 years old. At the hospital, it was stated that nobody could have lived for more than a few minutes after sustaining such injuries. Shortly after local news stations reported Lennon's death, crowds gathered at Roosevelt Hospital and in front of the Dakota. Lennon was cremated on 10 December 1980 at the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York; the ashes were given to Ono, who chose not to hold a funeral for him. The first media report of Lennon's death to a US national audience was announced by Howard Cosell, on ABC's Monday Night Football.
Photographer Annie Leibovitz went to the Lennons' apartment to do a photo shoot for Rolling Stone magazine.[2] Leibovitz promised Lennon that a photo with Ono would make the front cover of the magazine, even though she initially tried to get a picture with Lennon by himself.[3] Leibovitz: "Nobody wanted [Ono] on the cover".[4] Lennon insisted that both he and his wife be on the cover, and after taking the pictures, Leibovitz left their apartment at 3:30 p.m.[2] After the photo shoot, Lennon gave what would be his last interview, to San Francisco DJ Dave Sholin, for a music show to be broadcast on the RKO Radio Network.[5] At 5:40 p.m., Lennon and Ono, delayed by a late limousine, left their apartment to mix the song "Walking on Thin Ice" (an Ono song featuring Lennon on lead guitar), at the Record Plant Studio.[6]
As Lennon and Ono walked to a limousine, shared with the RKO Radio crew, they were approached by several people seeking autographs. Among them was Mark David Chapman.[7] It was common for fans to wait outside the Dakota to meet Lennon and ask for his autograph.[8] Chapman, a 25-year-old security guard from Honolulu, Hawaii, had previously travelled to New York to murder Lennon in October (before the release of Double Fantasy), but had changed his mind and returned home.[9] Chapman silently handed Lennon a copy of Double Fantasy, and Lennon obliged with an autograph.[7] After signing the album, Lennon asked, "Is this all you want?" Chapman smiled and nodded in agreement. Photographer and Lennon fan Paul Goresh took a photo of the encounter.[10] Chapman had been waiting for Lennon outside the Dakota since mid-morning, and had even approached the Lennons' five-year-old son, Sean, who was with the family nanny, Helen Seaman, when they returned home in the afternoon. According to Chapman, he briefly touched the boy's hand.[11]
The Lennons spent several hours at the Record Plant studio before returning to the Dakota, at approximately 10:50 pm.[12] Lennon had decided against dining out so he could be home in time to say goodnight to his son, before going on to the Stage Deli restaurant with Ono.[12] Lennon liked to oblige any fans who had been waiting for long periods of time to meet him with autographs or pictures, once saying during an interview with BBC Radio's Andy Peebles on 6 December 1980:[13] "People come and ask for autographs, or say 'Hi', but they don't bug you."[2] The Lennons exited their limousine on 72nd Street instead of driving into the more secure courtyard of the Dakota.[14]
The Dakota's doorman, ex-CIA Agent Jose Sanjenis Perdomo, and a nearby cab driver saw Chapman standing in the shadows by the archway.[15] As Lennon passed by, he glanced briefly at Chapman, appearing to recognise him from earlier.[16] Seconds later, Chapman took aim directly at the center of Lennon's back and fired five hollow-point bullets at him from a Charter Arms .38 Special revolver in rapid succession from a range of about nine or ten feet (about 3 m) away.[1] Based on statements made that night by NYPD Chief of Detectives, James Sullivan, numerous radio, television, and newspaper reports claimed at the time that, before firing, Chapman called out "Mr Lennon" and dropped into a combat stance.[17] Later court hearings and witness interviews did not include either "Mr Lennon" or the "combat stance" description. Chapman has said he does not remember calling out Lennon's name before he fired,[18][19][20] but he claimed to have taken a "combat stance" in a 1992 interview with Barbara Walters.[21] The first bullet missed, passing over Lennon's head and hitting a window of the Dakota building. Two of the next bullets struck Lennon in the left side of his back, and two more penetrated his left shoulder. Lennon, bleeding profusely from external wounds and also from his mouth, staggered up five steps to the security/reception area, saying, "I'm shot, I'm shot".[22] He then fell to the floor, scattering cassettes that he had been carrying. The concierge, Jay Hastings, first started to make a tourniquet, but upon ripping open Lennon's blood-stained shirt and realising the severity of his multiple injuries, he covered Lennon's chest with his uniform jacket, removed his blood-covered glasses, and summoned the police.[12]
Outside, doorman Perdomo shook the gun out of Chapman's hand then kicked it across the sidewalk.[15] Chapman then removed his coat and hat in preparation for the arrival of police—to show he was not carrying any concealed weapons—and sat down on the sidewalk. Perdomo shouted at Chapman, "Do you know what you've just done?" to which Chapman calmly replied, "Yes, I just shot John Lennon." The first policemen to arrive were Steve Spiro and Peter Cullen, who were at 72nd Street and Broadway when they heard a report of shots fired at the Dakota. The officers arrived around two minutes later and found Chapman sitting "very calmly" on the sidewalk. They reported that Chapman had dropped the revolver to the ground and was holding a paperback book, J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye. They immediately put Chapman in handcuffs and placed him in the back seat of their squad car. Chapman made no attempt to flee or resist arrest.[23]
The second team, officers Bill Gamble and James Moran, arrived a few minutes later. They found Lennon lying face down, with blood pouring from his mouth.[24] Realizing the extent of his injuries, they decided not to wait for an ambulance and immediately carried him into their squad car and rushed him to St Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center. Officer Moran said they placed Lennon on the back seat.[25] Reportedly, Moran asked, "Are you John Lennon?" to which Lennon nodded and replied "Yes."[26] There are conflicting accounts of this, however. According to another account, Lennon nodded slightly and tried to speak, but could only manage to make a gurgling sound, and lost consciousness shortly thereafter.[27]
Dr. Stephan Lynn received Lennon in the emergency room at Roosevelt Hospital a few minutes before 11:00 pm when Officers Gamble and Moran arrived, with Moran carrying Lennon on his back from their squad car and onto a gurney, into the emergency room demanding a doctor for a multiple gunshot wound victim. When Lennon arrived, he had no pulse and was not breathing. Dr. Lynn, two other doctors and a nurse worked on Lennon for 15 to 20 minutes in attempting to revive him. As a last resort, Dr. Lynn cut open Lennon's chest and attempted manual heart massage to restore circulation, but he quickly discovered that the damage to the blood vessels around the heart was too great.[28] Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival in the emergency room at the Roosevelt Hospital at 11:15 pm by Dr. Lynn,[29] but the time of 11:07 pm has also been reported.[30] Lennon's body was then taken to the city morgue at 520 First Avenue and autopsied. The cause of death was reported as "hypovolemic shock, caused by the loss of more than 80% of blood volume due to multiple through-and-through gunshot wounds to the chest and aortic arch". The pathologist who performed the autopsy on Lennon also stated in his report that even with prompt medical treatment, no person could have lived for more than a few minutes with such multiple bullet injuries.[31]
The surgeon also noted—as did other witnesses—that, at the moment Lennon was pronounced dead, a Beatles song ("All My Loving") came over the hospital's sound system.[32]
Of the four bullets that struck Lennon in his back, three of them passed completely through his body and out of his chest while the fourth lodged in his aorta beside his heart, resulting in a total of seven gunshot wounds, nearly all of them fatal. As Lennon had been shot four times at close range with hollow-point bullets (which expand upon entering the target and severely disrupt more tissue as they travel through the target),[33] Lennon's affected organs (particularly his left lung) and major blood vessels above his heart were virtually destroyed upon impact. Lynn stated: "If [Lennon] had been shot this way in the middle of the operating room with a whole team of surgeons ready to work on him... he still wouldn't have survived his injuries".[34] When told by Dr. Lynn of her husband's death, Ono started sobbing and said, "Oh no, no, no, no ... tell me it's not true." Dr. Lynn remembers that Ono lay down and began hitting her head against the floor, but calmed down when a nurse gave Lennon's wedding ring to her.[35] She was led away from Roosevelt Hospital by Geffen Records' president, David Geffen, in a state of shock.[36]
Ono asked the hospital not to report to the media that her husband was dead until she had informed their 5-year-old son Sean, who was at home. Ono said he was probably watching television and did not want him to learn of his father's death from a TV announcement.[36]
Meanwhile, news producer Alan J. Weiss from WABC-TV had been waiting to be treated in the emergency room at Roosevelt Hospital due to having been involved in an accident earlier that evening while riding his motorcycle. Weiss recalled in an interview for the CNN series Crimes of the Century in 2013[37] that he had seen Lennon being wheeled into the room surrounded by several police officers. After he learned what happened, Weiss called back to the station to relay the information. Eventually, word made its way through the chain of command to ABC News president Roone Arledge.
On this evening Arledge, who was also the president of ABC Sports, was serving his role as the executive producer of Monday Night Football. As Arledge was given word that Lennon was dead, the game between the New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins was in the fourth quarter with the score tied at 13 and the Patriots with the ball late in the fourth quarter and driving to try to score the winning points. Arledge passed word on to the MNF broadcast team, consisting of Howard Cosell and Frank Gifford, and suggested that they relay the news of Lennon's death to the television audience.
It was decided that Cosell, who had interviewed Lennon during a 1974 broadcast and who had expressed some apprehension about telling the viewers that Lennon had been murdered, should relay the news. With 30 seconds remaining in the game, Cosell and Gifford had the following exchange:[38]
Cosell: ... but (the game)'s suddenly been placed in total perspective for us; I'll finish this, they're in the hurry-up offense.
Gifford: Third down, four. (Chuck) Foreman ... it'll be fourth down. (Matt) Cavanaugh will let it run down for one final attempt, he'll let the seconds tick off to give Miami no opportunity whatsoever. (whistle blows) Timeout is called with three seconds remaining, John Smith is on the line. And I don't care what's on the line, Howard, you have got to say what we know in the booth.
Cosell: Yes, we have to say it. Remember this is just a football game, no matter who wins or loses. An unspeakable tragedy confirmed to us by ABC News in New York City: John Lennon, outside of his apartment building on the West Side of New York City, the most famous perhaps, of all of The Beatles, shot twice in the back, rushed to Roosevelt Hospital, dead on arrival. Hard to go back to the game after that news flash, which, in duty bound, we have to take. Frank?
Gifford: (after a pause) Indeed, it is.[39]
Apparently, the first nationally-telecast bulletin about the shooting was made by Kathleen Sullivan as part of a standard newscast on Cable News Network; Sullivan reported that Lennon had been shot but his condition was not known at the time of the bulletin. NBC-TV momentarily broke into its East Coast feed of The Best of Carson for its bulletin of Lennon's death before returning in the middle of a comedy piece being performed by Johnny Carson.[40]
New York rock station WNEW-FM 102.7 immediately suspended all programming and opened its lines to calls from listeners. Stations throughout the country switched to special programming devoted to Lennon and/or Beatles music.[41]
The following day, Ono issued a statement: "There is no funeral for John. John loved and prayed for the human race. Please do the same for him. Love, Yoko and Sean."[42]
"Neither of us [Yoko or I] want to make the mistake that Gandhi and Martin Luther King did, which is get killed one way or the other. Because people only like dead saints, and I refuse to be a saint or a martyr."
"The outpouring of grief, wonder and shared devastation that followed Lennon's death had the same breadth and intensity as the reaction to the killing of a world figure: some bold and popular politician, like John or Robert Kennedy, or a spiritual leader, like Martin Luther King Jr. But Lennon was a creature of poetic political metaphor, and his spiritual consciousness was directed inward, as a way of nurturing and widening his creative force. That was what made the impact, and the difference — the shock of his imagination, the penetrating and pervasive traces of his genius — and it was the loss of all that, in so abrupt and awful a way, that was mourned last week, all over the world."
Lennon's murder triggered an outpouring of grief around the world on an unprecedented scale.[44] Lennon's remains were cremated at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, Westchester County, N.Y.; no funeral was held.[45] Ono sent word to the chanting crowd outside the Dakota that their singing had kept her awake; she asked that they re-convene in Central Park the following Sunday for ten minutes of silent prayer.[46] On 14 December 1980, millions of people around the world responded to Ono's request to pause for ten minutes of silence to remember Lennon.[47] Thirty thousand gathered in Liverpool, and the largest group—over 225,000—converged on New York's Central Park, close to the scene of the shooting.[47] For those ten minutes, every radio station in New York City went off the air.[48] At least three Beatles fans committed suicide after the murder,[49] leading Ono to make a public appeal asking mourners not to give in to despair.[50] Ono released a solo album, Season of Glass, in 1981. The cover of the album is a photograph of Lennon's blood-spattered glasses. That same year she also released "Walking on Thin Ice", the song the Lennons had mixed at the Record Plant less than an hour before he was murdered, as a single.[36] Chapman, against the advice of his lawyers who wanted to file an insanity plea, pleaded guilty in 1981 to murdering Lennon.[51][52][53][54] Under the terms of his guilty plea, Chapman was sentenced to 20-years-to-life and later automatically became eligible for parole in 2000.[55] However, Chapman has been denied parole eight times, as of 22 August 2014, and is currently incarcerated at Wende Correctional Facility.[56][57][58]
Annie Leibovitz's photo of a naked Lennon embracing his wife, taken on the day of the murder, was the cover of Rolling Stone 's 22 January 1981 issue, most of which was dedicated to articles, letters and photographs commemorating Lennon's life and death.[59] In 2005 the American Society of Magazine Editors ranked it as the top magazine cover of the last 40 years.[60]
George Harrison released a tribute song, "All Those Years Ago", which featured Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney in 1981. McCartney released his tribute, "Here Today" on his 1982 album, Tug of War. Elton John, who had recorded the number-one hit "Whatever Gets You thru the Night" with Lennon, teamed up with his lyricist, Bernie Taupin and recorded a tribute to Lennon, entitled "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)." It appeared on his 1982 album, Jump Up!, and peaked at #13 on the US Singles Chart that year.[61] When he performed the song at a sold-out concert in Madison Square Garden in August 1982, he was joined on stage by Ono and Sean.[62] Queen, during their The Game Tour performed a cover of Lennon's solo song "Imagine" at concerts after Lennon's death. Queen also performed the song "Life Is Real", from the album Hot Space (1982), in his honour. It was written by singer Freddie Mercury.
Roxy Music added a cover version of the song "Jealous Guy" to their set while touring in Germany, which they recorded and released in March 1981. The song was their only UK #1 hit, topping the charts for two weeks. It features on many Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music collections, though not always in its full-length version.
Paul Simon's homage to Lennon, "The Late Great Johnny Ace", initially sings of the rhythm and blues singer Johnny Ace, who is said to have shot himself in 1954, then goes on to reference John Lennon, as well as President John F. Kennedy who was assassinated in 1963, the year Beatlemania started. Simon had actually premiered the song during Simon & Garfunkel's reunion Concert in Central Park in 1981; near the end of the song, a fan ran onto the stage, possibly in response to Simon mentioning Lennon in the lyrics. The man was dragged offstage by Simon's personnel, saying to Simon, "I have to talk to you"; all of which can be seen in the DVD of the concert. The song also appears on Simon's 1983 Hearts and Bones album.
David Bowie, who befriended Lennon in the mid-1970s (Lennon co-wrote and performed on Bowie's US #1 hit "Fame" in 1975), performed a tribute to Lennon in the final show of his Serious Moonlight Tour at the Hong Kong Coliseum on 8 December 1983 - the third anniversary of Lennon's death. Bowie announced that the last time he saw Lennon was in Hong Kong, and after announcing "On this day, December the 8th 1980, John Lennon was shot and killed outside of his New York apartment," Bowie performed Lennon's "Imagine".[63] David Gilmour of Pink Floyd wrote and recorded the song "Murder" in response to Lennon's death; the song was released on Gilmour's solo album, About Face (1984).
In 1985, New York City dedicated an area of Central Park directly across from The Dakota as Strawberry Fields, where Lennon had frequently walked. In a symbolic show of unity, countries from around the world donated trees and the city of Naples, Italy, donated the Imagine mosaic centerpiece.[64] A symbolic grave for Lennon was erected in Prague's Mala Strana square, which hosted demonstrations during the fall of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia.[65]
Lennon was honoured with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1991.[66] In 1994, the breakaway autonomous republic of Georgia, Republic of Abkhazia, issued two postage stamps featuring the faces of Lennon and Groucho Marx, rather than portraits of Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx, spoofing Abkhazia's Communist past.[67] On 8 December 2000, Cuba's President Fidel Castro unveiled a bronze statue of Lennon in a park in Havana.[68] In 2000, the John Lennon Museum was opened at the Saitama Super Arena in the city of Saitama, Japan (but closed on 30 September 2010),[69] and Liverpool renamed its airport to Liverpool John Lennon Airport, adopting the motto, "Above us only sky", in 2002.[70] The minor planet 4147 Lennon, discovered 12 January 1983 by B. A. Skiff at the Anderson Mesa Station of the Lowell Observatory, was named in memory of Lennon.[71] On 9 December 2006, in the city of Puebla, Mexico, a plaque was revealed, honouring Lennon's contribution to music, culture and peace.[72] On 9 October 2007, Ono dedicated a new memorial called the Imagine Peace Tower, located on the island of Viðey, off the coast of Reykjavík, Iceland. Each year, between 9 October and 8 December, it projects a vertical beam of light high into the sky in Lennon's memory.[73] In 1990 a group of citizens came forward with an initiative to rename one of the streets of Warsaw in honour of John Lennon. The petition had approximately 5000 supporting signatures and passed through city council unchallenged.[74]
Every 8 December a memorial ceremony is held in front of the Capitol Records building on Vine Street in Hollywood, California. People also light candles in front of Lennon's Hollywood Walk of Fame star, outside the Capitol Building.[75] From 28 to 30 September 2007, Durness held the John Lennon Northern Lights Festival which was attended by Julia Baird (Lennon's half-sister), who read from Lennon's writings and her own books, and Stanley Parkes, Lennon's Scottish cousin.[76] Parkes said, "Me and Julia [Baird] are going to be going to the old family croft to tell stories". Musicians, painters and poets from across the UK performed at the festival.[76][77]
In 2009, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's New York City annexe hosted a special John Lennon exhibit, which included many mementos and personal effects from Lennon's life, as well as the clothes he was wearing when he was murdered, still in the brown paper bag from Roosevelt Hospital.[78] Ono still places a lit candle in the window of Lennon's room in the Dakota on 8 December.[79] In 2012, Bob Dylan released the Lennon tribute "Roll on John" on his Tempest album.[80]
Two films depicting the murder of Lennon were released close together more than 25 years after the event. The first of the two, The Killing of John Lennon, was released on 7 December 2007. Directed by Andrew Piddington, the movie had Jonas Ball play Mark David Chapman.[81] The second film was Chapter 27, released on 28 March 2008. Directed by J. P. Schaefer, Mark David Chapman was played by Jared Leto. Lennon was portrayed by actor Mark Lindsay Chapman, who coincidentally has the same first and last name as the person who killed Lennon.[82]

Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) are solidly higher ahead of the bell, with the blue-chip barometer on pace to break its two-session losing streak. Optimistic investors are at the ready to digest today's glut of earnings and economic data. Elsewhere, "The euro is back near the key 130 area," said Schaeffer's Equities Analyst Bryan Sapp. "This served as support early in the year, and could now act as resistance. A failure to break and hold above 130 could usually be viewed as bearish for equities (the correlation for some time now has been weak dollar/strong equities). The correlation has decoupled a bit this week, but it's too early to assume that will continue. Until further notice, a strong euro means strong equities."
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average are nearly 73 points north of fair value.
Market Statistics
Equity option activity on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) saw 872,969 call contracts traded on Wednesday, compared to 615,655 put contracts. The resultant single-session put/call ratio fell to 0.71, while the 21-day moving average rose to 0.68.
From the Trading Floor
"The new Investors Intelligence report came out today, and once again the bulls-minus-bears line dropped, and is at its lowest level since July 31," continued Sapp. "Until sentiment can shift dramatically to the bullish side, the major concerns pundits currently have toward the market will be overblown. Given every drop in the market creates more bearish sentiment, you would have to assume that much of the potential bad news is already priced in."

As Purim approaches, thousands of Israeli children and families grapple with poverty
Israel's Supreme Court rejected Thursday evening an appeal by victims of terror to stop the government from going ahead with its plan to free another 26 terrorists on Sunday.
The petitioners, whose parents and three of their brothers and sisters were murdered in a terrorist attack in Jerusalem in 2001, argued that the swap of 1,000 terrorists for the return of Gilad Shalit from captivity proved that many of those release from jail return to terrorism.
The court did not reject or accept the argument and ruled, as in previous cases of government releases of terrorists, that the issue involves security and is not in the jurisdiction of the court to interfere.
The Netanyahu government is going ahead with the third batch four releases of 104 terrorists for the stated reason of continuing talks with the Palestinian Authority, within the framework set down in July by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
