Cigarette Sales Hit Historic 55-year Low
Attorney General Spitzer and a coalition of Attorneys General nationwide today announced that cigarette sales have dropped to the lowest level since 1951.
"The continuing long-term decline in the number of cigarettes sold and in the number of smokers is evidence that we are winning the war against smoking," Spitzer said.
Spitzer credited the 1998 Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) as a major reason for the decline.
According to the latest figures compiled by the U.S. Treasury Department, cigarette sales dropped 4.2 percent last year. This continues a sharp decline in sales (21 percent) since the MSA was implemented in 1998.
Anti-smoking and public health advocates hailed the latest figures:
Russell Sciandra, Director of the Center For A Tobacco Free New York, said: "In 2005, New York's smoking rate reached an all time low in no small part because of the Master Settlement Agreement. Maintaining this life-saving trend depends upon continued vigilance against Big Tobacco's efforts to evade MSA restrictions on their most outrageous marketing practices that they agreed to honor."
Cheryl Healton, President of the American Legacy Foundation, said: "The Master Settlement Agreement placed significant restrictions on the advertising and marketing practices of the tobacco companies, and also provided funding for an effective anti-smoking public education campaign targeted directly at youth. These new numbers conclusively demonstrate that the combination of these two factors - - together with the hard work of the Attorneys General and the public health community - - has resulted in a major reduction in smoking rates since the MSA was signed."
The MSA created a broad array of restrictions on the advertising, marketing and promotion of cigarettes. For example, it prohibited the targeting of youth in cigarette advertising. It also prohibited outdoor advertising of cigarettes and the advertising of cigarettes in public transit facilities, as well as the use of cigarette brand names on merchandise, and a host of other restrictions. The payment provisions of the MSA were designed to compensate the states in part for the billions of dollars in health care costs associated with treating tobacco-related diseases under state Medicaid programs.
Attorneys General have also directly addressed the issue of youth tobacco use by enforcing the settlement agreements against violations by the tobacco companies - such as Brown & Williamson's "Kool Mixx" marketing campaign that used hip-hop culture to promote cigarettes; pursuing agreements with major retailers to ensure that they do not sell tobacco products to underage persons; and suing Internet tobacco vendors who sell tobacco products without verifying the age of their purchasers.
In addition to leading MSA enforcement actions, Spitzer's office has also initiated a series of actions to curtail illegal shipment and sales of cigarettes. These include agreements signed in the last year under which major credit card companies, shipping companies and the nation's largest tobacco manufacturer all committed themselves to cease doing business with operators of illegal tobacco retail websites.
Spitzer said the decline in cigarette sales to a 55-year low is even more impressive because the population of the United States has more than doubled since 1951.

Below are instructions for powering on the device:
To Assemble:
1. On a counter or other flat surface, place the Bowl onto the Base, lining up the Bowl Locking Tabs to the Base Locking Slots. Turn clockwise until the Bowl locks (A).
2. Slide the Blade down over the shaft. Be careful not to touch the Blade as it is extremely sharp.
3. Place the Lid on the Bowl, with the Extended Tab on the same side as the Safety-lock Slot. Turn the Lid into the Safety Lock Slot as far as it will go so that the DOT on the Lid lines up with the DOT on the Base (B). Note: For your protection, this unit has a Lid Locking System. The unit will not operate unless the Lid and Base DOTS align. Do not attempt to operate the unit without locking the Lid in place.
For Chopping or Mincing
1. To use, remove the Lid and place dry food in the bowl. (See "Chopping Guide").
2. Place the Lid on the Bowl and turn to lock into place.
3. Depress and hold the Pulse/On Button to process. Note: This product has a "pulse action" feature. Avoid running the motor continuously in this mode for periods over 1 minute. The longer the continuous pulse, the finer the texture. For coarsely chopped foods, use short pulses.
4. Be sure the Blade stops turning completely before removing the Lid. Unplug the unit. Remove the lid and grasp the plastic blade hub. Carefully pull the Blade straight up. Remove the Bowl and empty the processed food. Do not use Bowl for storing food.

For Michelle Williams, tunes and couture are hand in glove.
"I like how, for whatever genre of music you sing, there's a cool way to dress," said the vocalist best-known for her work with Destiny's Child, the Beyonce-fronted R&B-pop trio (Survivor, Say My Name) that became as known for its funky coordinated outfits as much as a slew of Top 40 hits.
"I've been able to wear everything under the sun when it comes to performing."
A solo artist since the group parted ways in 2006, Williams will be one of the headline performers this weekend at the inaugural Fashion Meets Music Festival — a three-day Arena District event fusing musical artists and clothing designers.
Her concert will take place at 5:30 p.m. Friday in McFerson Commons.
Williams, 34, whose forthcoming Journey to Freedom album reflects a return to her gospel roots (a previous effort dabbled in dance-pop) doesn't hesitate to dress the part for any given occasion — even when the notes of a chosen ensemble are more muted.
"It could be from BCBG or Ted Baker all the way to a designer like Roberto Cavalli," she said. "I never have to get his clothes tailored; I can just put it on."
On the other hand: "I'm also a Forever 21 girl. It doesn't have to be all high-end stuff."
With an acting resume that includes lead roles in Aida and Chicago, among other Broadway productions, Williams' professional palette is diverse.
Her next act: mentoring duties with the reality show Fix My Choir (a Kitchen Nightmares for the spiritual set) that will premiere in the fall on the Oxygen cable network.
"The biggest issue that most choirs deal with is lack of respect for their leadership," Williams said. "Good choirs have the ability to really connect with each other and put it into motion."
Meanwhile, she is working to modernize the hallmarks of traditional gospel.
"I would say the beats are more relevant; a lot of people are taking more risks with how it sounds," Williams said of her new music, which includes Say Yes — a dancehall-flavored salute to Jesus that features Beyonce and Kelly Rowland.
Williams said she still cherishes the "sisterhood" of Destiny's Child and that getting her famous friends to participate on the single was always in the cards.
When asked whether she knew in advance about Beyonce's unannounced album release last December, a bold move that elicited hysteria in the music world, Williams would only say that "we had an inclination."
Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles, once designed the clothes worn by Destiny's Child.
Other artists, meanwhile, have served as style icons for Williams.
Among them: Whitney Houston; the sisters of Heart ("I like their long trench coats and big hair"); Janet Jackson; and, on the casual side, Coldplay, who make a mark in "vintage T-shirts and jeans, ... although those jeans probably cost hundreds of dollars."
Looking back on her past wardrobe choices, are there any regrets?
"An outfit I wore to the (2001) MTV Video Music Awards — very bright, orange and turquoise with lots of fringe and suede," Williams said with a laugh. "It was crazy."
* * *
A primer about the Fashion Meets Music Festival:
Free McFerson Commons shows include those by Michelle Williams (5:30 p.m. Friday), O.A.R., a laid-back rock quintet that was formed among Ohio State University students (9:15 p.m. Friday) and the emotive indie-rockers of Cold War Kids (9:30 p.m. Sunday).
An affiliated Nationwide Arena concert with headliner R. Kelly was dropped last month after new complaints about allegations of sexual misconduct in the singer's past led a few bands and a sponsor to exit.
Central Ohio acts — including Bummers, New Hollow, Kid Runner and the Floorwalkers — are set to perform throughout the weekend on three outdoor stages along W. Nationwide Boulevard, where a gondola ride, a Ferris wheel and zip lines will be available for attendees.
Dozens of other bands (such as Afroman, Future Islands, Maps & Atlases) will appear during after-hours festival shows at various bars and clubs in and around the Arena District. A $35 pass gains a buyer entry to three nights of music.
On deck, too, are seminars led by Kelli Martin and Althea Harper. Both Ohio natives are alumnae of the TV series Project Runway. Those events — plus a retail marketplace and runway stage featuring lines by Celeste Malvar-Stewart and Horacio Nieto — will take place in the Greater Columbus Convention Center.
An adjacent open-air site will host optional "urban camping." Prices range from $100 to $200 for single tent, car and RV pass options.

Not very much sense! Sounds to me like you are memorizing formulas (poorly) without understanding what is being done.I want to know how you come about that sum and how I would apply it to other figures for example £45 VAT of 25%.
Hope my explanation makes sense.
Many thanks
What is "25% of 45£? (That is the same as 0.25 times 45£.) What do you get when you add that tax to 45£?

The pillow is beautiful and well made, I just thought it would be...bigger. I know the measurements are in the description, but I guess i thought it would be fatter and more "pillow-like". I still love it on my sofa--but for the price, I think it should be a few inches bigger in every dimension.
I create Couch Art! An ongoing collection of handmade pillows using my photographs.
Being a photographer and having a love for sewing, the first pillow I created was of my cat, Keywan. It only took 24 hours before I made my first sale and was asked to be in a brick and mortar shop in Brooklyn, NY. I knew this was it, I had to keep going, I had to expand. In the seam has been going strong since 2010. I have been featured in TIME Magazine, TimeOut NY, PDN Magazine, and sell in a handful of Museum shops including the International Center of Photography, Brooklyn Museum, and The San Diego Museum of Art. I'm the photographer who shoots all of the images for my rapidly growing company. I also help clients create custom pillows using their existing photographs. Custom pet pillows are a large part of my business, it keeps me on my toes, and with the cast of characters that come out of my printer, it keeps me smiling too.
My current studio is located in an old sweater factory in Brooklyn, NY. I have a still-life photo studio set up on one side, and a large industrial printer that separates my office from the working studio on the other. Long tables stretch across one wall and into the middle where mounted bolts of fabric can be rolled down and cut. I spend many days and nights here, it's my home away from home.

Born in Detroit, studied photography at the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale and now resides in Brooklyn. When not producing pillows, or sourcing new objects to turn into COUCH ART, Ronda works as a photographer, specializing in food and still life.

Bob Teater spent most of his life in public service, striving to make the world a better place.
Friends and former colleagues say he did just that through his many leadership roles: in the military, at Ohio State University, in state office and on the Columbus school board.
But Teater, who died on Sunday at age 86 because of complications from Parkinson's disease, will be most remembered for his love of people: checking on soldiers formerly under his command in the Ohio National Guard, offering an open door to his home for those in search of advice, and showing up on a fellow school-board member's doorstep with fresh-cut asparagus from his Pleasant Township farm.
"He never met a person he didn't like," said Maj. Gen. Deborah Ashenhurst, the National Guard's adjutant general, who met Teater in the 1980s. "He could glean the best out of anyone."
Friends say Teater was dedicated to his work, but his family and wife, Dorothy, were his first priority.
"They were always a team," his son Andy Teater said yesterday. "He always propped her up, and they always supported each other."
Mrs. Teater served on the Columbus City Council and was a Franklin County commissioner for 16 years.
Her husband's career started with the military. He served in the Korean War in 1952 and spent 32 years in the Ohio National Guard, retiring as a two-star general.
"He was the perfect balance of a great military leader, a great contributor to the community, and an advocate of those things we all hold so dear," said Ashenhurst, who often sought his advice.
Teater's parents were tenant farmers in Kentucky, and he had a passion for agriculture. He served as associate dean of the OSU College of Agriculture and then as director of the School of Natural Resources from 1969 to 1975.
Gov. James A. Rhodes appointed him director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, in which he helped develop campgrounds, reservoirs and lodges at many state parks. He spent eight years as director and ran unsuccessfully in the Republican primary for governor in 1982.
Teater founded a natural-resources consulting firm, Robert W. Teater and Associates, and pushed for such projects as The Wilds, an exotic-animal preserve in Muskingum County. He spent years raising money for the effort, finding a site and negotiating a deal with American Electric Power, which donated more than 9,000 acres.
"I would name a species of animal after Bob Teater if I could discover one, because we would not have The Wilds without Bob Teater," Jack Hanna, director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, said yesterday.
"This is a loss to both the people and animal world."
Teater retired from the Guard in 1985 but was drawn to public service six years later when he was elected to the Columbus Board of Education at age 64. He spent 12 years on the board, including three as president, advocating for the district as it faced a tenuous relationship with the community.
"Any one of those things would have been huge for someone's career, and here's Robert Teater with a handful of these major positions that had such impact on people," said Mark Hatch, who called Teater a mentor in their time serving together on the school board.
Besides son Andy and his wife, Teater is survived by three other sons — David, James and Donald — and 11 grandchildren.Visiting hours are 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at Egan-Ryan Funeral Home Northwest Chapel, 4661 Kenny Rd. The funeral is at 11 a.m. at Meadow Park Church of God, 2425 Bethel Rd.

Why Choose EIU?
Student Engagement
Sprinting Toward Success
Eastern Illinois University has no shortage of students whose achievements are points of pride for the EIU community. Even then, however, some students manage to stand out. Christian Ilunga-Matthiesen was one of those students.
The Department of Economics offers a number of different opportunities for students to play an active role in their educational experience. We believe that students benefit most when they take some ownership in their education through academic commitment, practical experience, and civic engagement. Opportunities for student engagement include The Economics Club, MVEA Conference, and Study Abroad.
The Economics Club or Student Society for Economics is a recognized student organization which is open to all Eastern Students; however, the majority of members are Economics majors and minors. The Economics club is very active on campus and in the community. The club has sponsored distinguished lecturers, facilitated career and resume building seminars, organized holiday toy drives, raises funds via apparel sales and hosts the Economics picnic every fall and spring semester.
The Missouri Valley Economics Association (MVEA) Conference is convened every October and is rotated among cities including Kansas City, MO, St. Louis, and Memphis, TN. Our Economics students, both graduate and undergraduate, have several opportunities to present their current research and receive valuable feedback audiences of field experts, professors, and their fellow students from across the region. A large contingent of our faculty and students often attend the meetings, so this presents an excellent avenue for students to interact with their professors in a smaller setting.
Study Abroad
Cameron Provost Studies Abroad in Barbados
Studying abroad tends to be a life-changing experience for those who participate, both on an academic and personal level. For compelling evidence of this fact, look no further than Economics student Cameron Provost. Read more...
The Economics department offers students international travel and educational opportunities via its study abroad program. To date, Economics students have traveled to the Czech Republic, Germany, and Barbados. The study abroad is open to all majors at Eastern, and therefore this gives students opportunities to interact with and share knowledge with colleagues from across different disciplines. This is a variable credit class, and students can receive up to 12 hours for student abroad programs depending on the length and specific course content. The most recent study abroad was to Barbados.
Experiential Learning
Brokering a Successful Career
Just like the fast-paced stock business in which she works, Kathryn Fischer is always on the go. Fischer, who began working on a trading desk before advancing into a broker position, is now the operations manager at RJO Futures, overseeing a division of about 40 traders. Now, five years into her position, she not only watches markets and analyzes them, but also works to help board clients in a quicker and more efficient way. Read more...
A select number of our Economics students are able to participate in the Chicago Trip held every spring semester. Students get to visit key Economic institutions including the Chicago Board of Trade and Federal Reserve Bank. Students are also able to network with Economics alumni who are currently pursuing exciting and successful careers in the field. Several times students are able to establish links which lead to internship opportunities. This is yet another opportunity for students to interact with the faculty within a smaller setting as they garner insight into practical applications of the course material, as well as pave paths for future careers.
Chicago Trip
Coordinated by Professor Tim Mason every year, Economics students can take advantage of a great opportunity to interact with successful EIU Economics alum who now reside in the greater Chicago area. These alum are each pursuing impressive careers in a number of industries , including the financial district. Highlights of the students' experiences include visiting the Chicago Board of Trade, Federal Reserve bank and major corporations such as the insurance giant, CNA. This is a longstanding tradition in the Economics Department, and goes back over 20 years.
Capstone Experience
At the end of their final semester, our seniors are provided with a platform to showcase their impressive research projects in the capstone course, Theory and Research (ECN 4689). We have affectionately dubbed this event EIU@EIU: Economic Investigation of Undergraduates at Eastern Illinois University. Students, under their guidance of the course instructor, select a topic of interest and perform an in-depth study where they survey the research performed by experts in the field, they collect and analyze their own data, provide comprehensive results and policy implications. Our seniors continuously make us proud as they address topics of interest, share key findings, as well as answer questions from the attendees. In addition to Eastern faculty and Economics undergraduate and graduate students, this event is attended by top-level university administrative personnel including the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, Dr. Blair Lord and Vice President for Business Affairs, Dr. William Weber, both of whom are Economics professors by specialty. Other frequent attendees include Deans of the College of Sciences and Graduate School.
Dedicated Faculty
The Department of Economics boasts a distinguished, dedicated, and diverse faculty from around the world. The faculty corridors are jokingly referred to by other colleagues as Eastern's United Nations (UN) Our professors infuse into the students' learning experience their rich cultures and experiences from countries including Ethiopia, Vietnam, Romania, Nepal, Persia, Ivory Coast, St. Lucia, Egypt, and of course from states right here in the United States such as Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, and Nevada! Our students gain insight into a wide range of global events and experiences that impact their lives as they pursue impressive careers in the field of Economics. Our students benefit from an opendoor policy among our very accessible and knowledgeable faculty who are always willing to engage students as part of this unique education environment. The Economics faculty has won several prestigious awards in the areas of Teaching, Research, and Service, which provide further evidence of not just their expertise in their respective fields, but their commitment to excellence in education. Visit our individual webpages for more information! We look forward to seeing you in our classes!.
At Issue: Debt Ceiling
Dr. Teshome Abebe, stops by WEIU, At Issue to discuss the Debt Ceiling, what it is, and what exactly lawmakers and government are dealing during the recent government shutdown.
Collegial Department
The Economics department has a reputation for being very collegial, which translates into a warm, yet professional environment for students. Our faculty and students are actively engaged in campus life and can be seen collectively participating in events such as Homecoming, Spring Fling fundraisers, and EIU football. Faculty interact with students both inside and outside of the classroom. The approachable nature of our faculty, coupled with their wealth of expertise in the field, allow students opportunities to freely discuss research ideas, academic choices, and career prospects.

Searching for Earth's History Among Earth-like Worlds
Mercury Winter 2007 Table of Contents
by Lisa Kaltenegger
It is only a matter of time before astronomers find an Earth-sized planet orbiting a distant star. We will naturally ask whether the planet is habitable or bears life. But will we be able to tell if there are bacteria, roaming dinosaurs, or even more advanced life?
While the first images of any putative exoplanet will be only visual smudges a single pixel in size, even a low-resolution spectral picture of the planet will be able to tell us a great deal. For examples: from spectra we should be able to infer whether the world, like Earth four billions years ago, was enveloped in a steamy, oxygenless atmosphere and covered completely by an ocean; or, in a Jurrasic-park-like epoch, a distant planet's atmosphere consists of about three-fourths nitrogen and one-fourth oxygen, with a small percentage of other gases like carbon dioxide and methane.
In the past twelve years, scientists have discovered more than two hundred large planets orbiting other stars, yet finding Earth-like planets is a fascinating and substantially more technologically demanding endeavor. And, once we finally do find them, what are clues to life's presence on them? Indeed, how do we need to design our instruments so we don't miss life's spectral signature?

Chelsea looked in prime position to take three points against Southampton at Stamford Bridge in their midweek English Premier League makeup match.
However, a 2-0 halftime lead was blown to pieces in the second half thanks to the nonstop attacking push by Southampton forward Jason Puncheon.
The former Liverpool youth was the obvious man of the match, as he scored the equalizing goal for the visitors in the 75th minute while being the primary proponent of everything good the Saints did in the second half.
Aside from the strong performance by Puncheon against the Blues, here is a rundown of the top five Blues on a night of utter frustration for the Stamford Bridge faithful.

Latest Review
" The hostel is great, very well located and the staff is very helpful. Only two not so nice points: during my stay one of the two male bathrooms got a problem and was kept closed for the whole weekend. The bunks are kinda wobbly, so I would try not to get the top bed next time. All in all is a good value for money, the outside common area is super nice and the showers are very good. Would stay there again for sure. "- maybarros

On May 26, 1907, a 13 pound baby boy named Marion Morrison was born in Winterset, Iowa. Nicknamed "Little Duke" after his childhood dog, he grew up to become the most famous icon of American patriotism in the world. When he was a football player at USC, Western filmstar Tom Mix got him a summer job at Fox in exchange for game tickets. After two years working as a prop man for $75 a week, his first acting role was in The Big Trail in 1930. "Marion Morrison" didn't sound like the right name for a trail scout though, so the studio took the last name from a Revolutionary War general and replaced "Anthony" with "John." Voila! A working actor from 1930 through the 1970s, this year John Wayne placed third among America's favorite film stars, the only deceased star on the list and the only one who has appeared every year. He was an opinionated patriot who, surprisingly, called himself a liberal... bigger than life, the consummate cowboy star, and the ultimate symbol of heroic action and the Code of the West. In the end, acting actually took his life indirectly thanks to radiation poisoning during a movie shoot in Utah (of the 220 persons on set, 91 had contracted cancer by the early 1980s), and almost three decades after his death, his family continues to carry on his legacy. He has an an airport, an elementary school, and various Cancer Foundations named after him, and while he wasn't much of a singer or dancer, he remains the ultimate symbol of American manliness to this day. Apparently there are hundreds of reasons to love the guy.
And for the record... no, he wasn't gay.

Some movie villains aren't necessarily bad, they're just accented that way. But what criteria do we use to determine a truly, uniquely bad film accent? Obviously, it helps if an actor or movie annoys you to begin with, but some bad accents are simply indisputably painful to watch. Kind of like a mashup of everything in The Speech Accent Archive with a little bit of Received Pronounciation thrown in here and there. Yes it's true, even the average American enjoys trying to rock a ridiculously fake British tone once in a while (there are dialects?). But believe it or not, there are average people in this world actually trying to learn how to sound American too! OK well, on second thought, it's more likely that they're just trying to sound less "foreign" while they're here so we don't mock them.

How regents should resolve the higher education debate
By Ronald L. Trowbridge, Ph.D. The debate on higher education reform has become a firestorm. The reason for the controversy is that, as with any debate, valid arguments exist on both sides. How, then, should the issue be resolved? The first consideration: is there in fact a problem with the status quo? The recent study …

(Sorry we didn't provide any update on this news yesterday – Adam is a under the weather and I was gone all day on a business trip.)
I assume most of you know now that yesterday, the Vikings re-signed linebacker Erin Henderson and wide receiver Devin Aromashodu.
Erin Henderson, who had taken to Twitter to express his frustration with the lack of contract talks with the Minnesota Vikings, was signed to a one-year, 2 million dollar deal. Henderson, considered to be of a top 5 linebacker in this year's free agency by some, did not play every down last year and still managed to record 70 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. He is young, coming out of his first contract and has lots of potential to be great (exactly what Spielman says he is looking for).
Erin Henderson only being signed for one year is good in some ways and bad in others. Although we happened to obtain Henderson's services on the cheap for another year, if he does have a breakout season, we will most definitely have to pay him a greater amount when he becomes a free agent again next year. But, if he is good, he deserves good money – so it allows the Vikings to really gauge the somewhat unproven but promising linebacker. It should serve as a great incentive for Henderson to go out there and really push to make a difference. Essentially, Henderson has been tasked with proving that he's worth the amount he expects.
Devin Aromashodu's re-signing is really no surprise considering the Vikings haven't made any signings to address the need at wide receiver [so far] this offseason. Aromashodu only had three games last season where he had over two receptions, but as Jeremy Fowler reports, the 27 year-old's real value comes from the fact that he averaged 18.1 yards a reception.
Aromashodu, like Erin Henderson, was also signed to a one-year deal. I imagine both players will get increased playing time this year to prove if they have more value to the team before they become free agents again. Currently, Aromashodu would probably be the third receiver on the depth chart behind Percy Harvin and Michael Jenkins. It is probable he will be 4th after the draft considering the likelihood of the Vikings selecting a wide receiver somewhere in the first three rounds this year.
It's great that we managed to lock-in two young players with the potential to improve at their positions. Unfortunately, the decision to only sign one-year contracts could really come back to bite us if both players manage to have the good year we hope they have.

Winamp problems, Double Genres and Discovers
I recently installed Winamp for my S-Series Walkman and it was working great for the past couple of weeks. Now all of a sudden it's duplicating songs from my walkman to my computer and doing a whole bunch of other problems
Here is a list of the problems I am encountering.
- When I disconnect my walkman and check the genres, more than 1 of the same genre pops up. I tried to manually make sure that they are the same by typing them myself but it doesn't work.
- When I try to import some songs I get a error "8ooozed" or some crazy lettering this only happens to some songs and not all, all my songs are in the correct format.
- Now when I plug in my walkman altogether it shows my playlists under the WALKMAN list, but when I click on the walkman itself I can not see the full music contents, it's just blank. I know my music is there, because it's there I just can't see it. I can't physically go in there and modify it.
I already tried to uninstall and re-install Winamp, I also tried to do it in the library itself, it's just a matter of the library on my walkman to reveal itself.

For background info, I listen to classic rock, Motown, Bob Marley, acoustic rock/folk, old school country, etc. My right ear is missing one of the bones in the middle so I can hear, but its quieter than left ear. I'm 50 years old so my ears are larger now.
My main needs are comfort, and closed to minimize sound leaking.
I currently have the mono price phones but they are a little to small in diameter for my ears so not comfy for more than 20 to 30 minutes.
Amazon has Audio-Technica ATH-M30 at a good price. Any suggestions or comments on their comfort.
Any other suggestions?

Tuesdays w/ Corey: Maryland-Hopkins Rivalry Benefits Big Ten, Vice Versa
by Corey McLaughlin | LaxMagazine.com | Twitter | McLaughlin Archive
|The Big Ten has the
Maryland-Johns Hopkins rivalry to thank for helping the formation
of the conference's first men's lacrosse league, and the programs
should benefit from added exposure once Big Ten lacrosse debuts
next year. (John Strohsacker)
In this era of growth and the conference-ization of NCAA Division I college lacrosse, it's important to document these moments. Saturday's blood feud between in-state rivals Maryland and Johns Hopkins, on a beautiful spring day at a sold-out Homewood Field in Baltimore, was the 111th meeting of the programs and the last before both head to the new, six-team Big Ten men's lacrosse conference next season.
The longest running rivalry in the Division I men's game heads to a conference that's actually been around just as long — to the year, in fact.
Johns Hopkins and the Maryland Agricultural College first played in 1895, a 10-0 Hopkins' win before the sport was an official one at Maryland.
The earliest incarnation of the current Big Ten occurred the same year, when then-Purdue president James H. Smart and leaders from the University of Chicago, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern and Wisconsin convened at a Chicago hotel with the goal of organizing and developing guidelines for the regulation of intercollegiate athletics. One of the first orders of business was to restrict athletic eligibility to full-time students that were actually going to class.
Indiana and Iowa were admitted to what was then commonly called "the Western Conference," in 1899. Ohio State was incorporated in 1912. Michigan briefly withdrew its original membership but re-joined in 1917, and the name "Big Ten" was first born.
Nearly 100 years later, a lot has changed, in all walks of life.
For our purposes, let's start with this: The Big Ten, now B1G for branding purposes (and with more than 10 teams), is starting both men's and women's lacrosse leagues next year.
The Big Ten broke tradition and admitted Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse as the conference's first-ever affiliate member last summer, giving the conference six men's programs to go with six women's programs, reaching the minimum number for an NCAA tournament automatic qualifying bid to the conference champions.
"It's a world-class institution with an iconic sport, playing Division I," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said in announcing the plans at a press conference at Johns Hopkins' Cordish Lacrosse Center. "We have a lot of Big Ten grads living in D.C, and Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York. We think they'll follow it naturally."
Things happened quickly. Only about four years ago, around the time Penn State hired Jeff Tambroni as coach, I was chatting with then-Penn State athletic director Tim Curley, now infamous in the eyes of many for actions, or inactions, related to the Jerry Sandusky scandal, and asked Curley about the potential for Big Ten lacrosse. It was more of a throwaway question than anything. At that time, Ohio State and Penn State were the only Big Ten schools with men's lacrosse programs. Curley noted as much in a brief answer, and I filed the thought away for a rainy day.
Then Michigan went varsity for spring 2012. The athletic director there, Dave Brandon, called lacrosse "a sport of the future," while talking about it in his Ann Arbor office, citing trend lines of all kinds. Big stuff from the former Domino's Pizza CEO.
Then the tectonic shifts of conference realignment registered on the Richter scale.
The University of Maryland, and all of its lacrosse connections, was announced in November of 2012 as leaving the ACC and headed to the Big Ten with the rest of the Terps' athletic programs. Then Rutgers was headed there, too, from the Big East. Still, the Big Ten had only five men's programs and needed one more, but now had six women's teams with Michigan, Northwestern, Ohio State and Penn State in place as well.
Which brings us back to the Johns Hopkins-Maryland rivalry. As much competition, contention and bitterness may have developed over 100-plus years, the bond between the programs, as well as their own storied histories, is eventually is what led to Big Ten lacrosse happening next spring.
Maryland was a boat without a harbor after this year's ACC mega-conference campaign. Of what lacrosse conference would Terps lacrosse be a part? Who would they play year-to-year? It was all in question, but Maryland coach John Tillman talked about maintaining traditional rivalries in any event.
The most traditional was Johns Hopkins. Not long after the Terps' Big Ten move was official, Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson reached out to both Johns Hopkins athletic director Tom Calder and Delany in December 2012 to gauge the interest and the possibility of Hopkins joining the Big Ten as a sixth men's lacrosse member. No ice-breaker needed. These two teams knew each other quite fine, and Johns Hopkins was considering a future conference home after being an independent for its entire history. Delany got up to speed quickly, after realizing affiliate membership was the only route.
"It would be an unprecedented move for us, but it sounds right to me," Delany said of his initial reaction. "We want to be here. It's a great sport. We want to be in this region and build relationships. I went and had a few discussions with the schools that sponsor the sport, the Presidents and ADs. They were all open. Then I went to the faculty, because we have a lot of different rules and regulations. I said let's not make this more complicated than it is. They'll follow their academic rules, they'll have their ESPNU [deal, which runs through 2017] and they'll be in part of the infrastructure making schedules and format, but other than that lets make it simple as possible."
On Saturday, two representatives from the Big Ten's New York office, which opened just last week, were at Homewood Field as Johns Hopkins beat Maryland 11-6 in front of nearly 10,000 sun-splashed spectators, including former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg, a Hopkins alum, and New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, a friend of Johns Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala's.
"Can you imagine a Big Ten Game of the Week and Hopkins-Maryland, the 111th anniversary of the rivalry? I just think it brings instant credibility to the conference."
— Johns Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala on the future Big Ten lacrosse conference
One of the Big Ten reps worked in championships — of which the Big Ten dates for 2015 are already set (Men's: April 30-May 2 at a site to be determined; Women's: April 30-May 3 at Rutgers) — and the other in branding and marketing.
Pietramala said the Blue Jays' coaching staff talked with players during the week of preparation for the Maryland tilt about it being a Big Ten game, as it has with any matchup against a future opponent this year. There was a February scrimmage against Penn State, the home-opener against Ohio State and another game against Michigan.
The only thing missing were bright blue B1G signs on the sideline.
"What a great day for us to have representatives from the Big Ten here at Johns Hopkins. Everybody did a great job to make this an electric atmosphere. That's what's coming to the Big Ten," Pietramala said. "This rivalry is tremendous for the conference. Can you imagine a Big Ten Game of the Week and Hopkins-Maryland, the 111th anniversary of the rivalry? I just think it brings instant credibility to the conference. It brings a competitiveness and a standard to the conference."
And what will the Big Ten give lacrosse? For starters, more exposure, to fans old and new, and mainstream conference infrastructure. Even things as simple as a well-run digital media stream of games through the Big Ten Network's digital platforms. On Saturday, BTN aired live Ohio State's 15-6 win over Michigan at the Horseshoe in Columbus, another deep-rooted, built-in conference lacrosse rivalry of its own. More than 17,641 watched at the 'Shoe before the Buckeyes' spring football game. Earlier this year, Maryland's game at the Big House was shown live via pay stream as was a Penn State home game against Villanova, but an more comprehensive broadcast schedule won't be rolled out until next year. The Big Ten Network has the right of first refusal for any home Big Ten sporting event.
The Big Ten's traditional footprint has been the Midwest, which is already a growing lacrosse area, but the league's geography now stretches from the East Coast to Nebraska. With ongoing questions about how the future of the NCAA in general will shake out, Delany has his conference positioned well no matter how you slice it.
"It's something that's good for the sport," Tillman said. "The growth of the sport is important to all of us. We want this thing to get bigger and better and create more opportunities for other people. It's exciting for the game."
And the game will give the Big Ten the longest-running rivalry in the sport. That's as good a start as any.
Three Stars
|Duke sophomore midfielder Myles
Jones has scored 24 goals this season, with the last four coming
against Virginia on Friday night. (Peyton Williams)
Top performances from the week that was:
Tom Schreiber, Princeton, Sr. M
The Tewaaraton Award contender slip-picked his way to glory last Tuesday night, delivering the overtime winner in a big moment against Lehigh.
Myles Jones, Duke, So. M
The ultimate X-factor, at 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, has shown major improvement in his sophomore season, already with a career-best 24 goals and seven assists and an improved 33.8 shooting percentage compared to 29.1 in Duke's national title season last year. Jones scored four goals with two assists and had no turnovers in Duke's 17-15 win over Virginia on Friday. Jones is really more of a junior, having spent a prep year at Salisbury School (Conn.), where the former three-sport star at Walt Whitman (N.Y.) re-discovered a love for basketball and waffled between pursing hoops at the next level or remaining committed to Duke lacrosse.
Chris Daddio, Syracuse, Sr. FO
It's hard hearing and reading things about a maligned Syracuse faceoff game when you are, in fact, the team's primary faceoff taker. Fortunes have turned around. Daddio's win percentage is up to 49.1, and during Syracuse's current four-game win streak — against Notre Dame, Binghamton, Cornell and North Carolina — he's won 57 of 98 (58.1 percent). Daddio won 18 of 26 faceoffs in the Orange's double-OT win against North Carolina on Saturday night in the Carrier Dome.
Looking ahead
Easter weekend doesn't feature as many marquee matchups as week's past, but there are still a number of games to watch:
1. No. 7 Maryland (9-2) at No. 8 Notre Dame (6-4), Noon
The Terps are still in position to finish the regular season as co-ACC champs, which is a nice thing to say, but really their goals are grander. Maryland will need to regroup after Saturday's troublesome offensive performance against Johns Hopkins, versus a Notre Dame team that is allowing 8.90 goals per game.
2. No. 20 Air Force (8-3) at Ohio State (5-6), 1 p.m.
The top seed in the ECAC tournament could go to the winner (Air Force is 3-0 and Ohio State 2-0 in the league) and either of these teams could realistically grab the league's NCAA tournament AQ bid with a conference title. Ohio State was largely forgotten after a poor start against a stronger-than-normal schedule for the program, but they shouldn't be overlooked with talent on both ends of the field.
3. No. 10 Hofstra (9-3) at UMass (7-4), 7 p.m.
As Hofstra coach Seth Tierney put it well in Eamon McAnaney's weekend recap, "It's UMass week. Sometimes when it's Hofstra/UMass the lacrosse ball doesn't really matter for the first five minutes." No matter the records heading into the game, it's usually a hard-fought battle between like-minded rivals. Just so happens Hofstra cracked the LM Top 10 after beating Cornell last Saturday in UMass is just outside the Top 25.
4. Bucknell (7-6) at No. 1 Loyola (11-1), 7 p.m.
Upset alert. Bucknell has beaten just one team with a winning record this season (Brown). But in what has been a trying year for the Bison, this is a prime opportunity to spring an upset against a Loyola team that hasn't exactly been dominant during its stay atop the national rankings and is already selling tickets to the Patriot League tournament, which it will host as the No. 1 seed. Bucknell clinched a berth in the conference postseason with a 13-1 win over Lafayette on Saturday, so they'll play loose — except, of course, when using their tight 10-man ride, which was the impetus for a big upset win over Cornell last year. This would be similar.
5. No. 16 Drexel (8-4) at Towson (8-4), 7 p.m.
I'm looking forward to seeing Drexel's resident Canadian scorer, Ben McIntosh, in person, and it's unlikely Towson will go scoreless into the final minute of a game two weeks in a row. The Dragons have won four straight, against UMass, Penn St., Delaware and St. Joseph's, and is in contention for the program's first-ever NCAA tournament berth.
Honorable mentions: Brown at Cornell, Noon Saturday; Princeton at Harvard, 1 p.m. Saturday; Villanova at St. John's, 1 p.m. Saturday; Rutgers at Duke, 1 p.m. Saturday; Syracuse at Hobart, 3 p.m. Saturday; Army at Colgate, 7 p.m. Friday; Johns Hopkins at Navy, 7 p.m. Friday; Fairfield at Quinnipiac, 4 p.m. Tuesday
End Lines
The ten conference races, for league tournament seeding and NCAA tournament AQ bids, are coming down to the wire. There are couple teams to watch down the stretch, perhaps none more than Air Force. LM's "Best Bet" for this year's Sleeper Team looked questionable early on, dropping three of its first five games, but there is renewed strength in the contention after the Falcons' 18-6 win over then-ECAC leader Fairfield on Saturday. Air Force hasn't lost since March 2 and has been building toward this season with a senior-laden group. They are also playing inspired for coach Eric Seremet, whose wife was killed in a tragic car accident in the fall.

Vitamin D3 2000 IU Fast Dissolve
The Power of Vitamin D in a Fast Dissolve
Vitamin D3 is usually obtained through diet or produced by the skin from the ultraviolet energy of the sun. Poor diet and lack of sun exposure, can result in inadequate intake of vitamin D for optimal health.
Researchers have shown that vitamin D plays a much larger role in promoting health than simply helping build strong bones. Vitamin D helps regulate healthy cell growth, supports immunity, heart health, a normal inflammatory response and healthy aging. Research over the last decade suggests that vitamin D may be the single most important nutrient recommended for supplementation.†
Natrol® Vitamin D3 Fast Dissolve Mini Tabs!
Vitamin D3 2000 IU Fast Dissolve FAQs:
Q: Is the vitamin D from animal or vegetable?
A: It is lanolin from lamb's wool.
Q: What does "fast dissolve" mean?
A: "Fast Dissolve" is a delivery method whereby the tablet dissolves on your tongue and can be swallowed without liquids. Natrol's unique Fast Dissolve technology allows tablets to dissolve up to 30 times faster than regular tablets.*

Optimal Stalling When Bargaining
John E. Thanassoulis
University of Warwick - Warwick Business School; Oxford-Man Institute, University of Oxford; Nuffield College, University of Oxford
May 1, 2009
Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Forthcoming
This paper analyzes an alternating offer model of bargaining over the sale of an asset in a market, such as that for housing, in which another agent may come and compete for the right to strike a deal. The analysis allows the buyer and seller to have possibly differing views as to how likely such competition is. Hence the buyer and seller disagree about their respective bargaining powers. These views adjust to market realizations as the parties learn. It is shown that there exists a unique Subgame Perfect Equilibrium which can be explicitly constructed: hence, conditional on market conditions, equilibrium prices and optimal stall lengths (that is delay) can be found. Bargaining delay can only occur if there is optimism (not pessimism) and only if the parties are open to learning as time elapses. This delay can occur even for very small levels of optimism and the delay can be for economically significant periods.

I'm not going to
listen to your song because you self-downloaded it 1000 times. I hate you and if you exploded and bits of viscera and blood landed on my face I would revel in the glory that is the exit of your soul from our plane.
Good job on cheating, and I also like that you used your self downloading statistic to say your ghost pals disagreed with the previous reviewer. That's classy man. Real nice, good luck in the future with douchebaggery! Tell the 1000 of your friends who each individually downloaded the track to buy you tampons for the sandy vagina-esque response you're about to leave for this review.
Think what you want, didn't do it. Search the web for my name, see how many sites I'm linked to. People come to this page not just from newgrounds, ever think about that?
Rated 0 / 5 stars
I smell a f*cking self-downloader!
Sry dude, but this is some kind of joke or something. I watched the song rise, and its funny to see that the downloads don't go up so fucken fast anymore just when it hit PLATINUM.
You downloaded yourself. Stupid to say? Maybe, but keep in mind that not many people visit the Audio Page and mostly important not many of them are visiting the "heavy-metal" area.
Man, be honest to yourself, it's just impossible to hit PLATINUM status in just a COUPLE OF HOURS. The song is good, but not that good and important that it could hit PLATINUM in that short amount of time. By the way your dl's stuck now for over 10 minutes by 1009. Strange isn't it? Explanation again?
The Cover is good, though because of that shit I give you a big fat 0 overall.
Are you serious? Ok, first of all, why would I do it for just one song? Secondly, I've been in school all day, and not on newgrounds. The fact that you would suggest I rigged my downloads is retarded. Maybe the downloads stopped because people stopped downloading em? Ever think of that? Get outta here with that "rigged downloads" bullshit.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
The classic is 10x better....
Being the Ultimate fan of the Nightmare Before Christmas, I came upon this song only to hear that it wasn't what I anticipated. Sure it sounds nice, but trying to reinvent 'This Is Halloween' in heavy metal just doesn't work...it just CAN'T work. I'm not just trying to pick on you...infact, I was busy looking for some Castlevania tunes when I stumbled upon this. For the love of all things Jack....don't try remaking tunes from the Nightmare Before Christmas. Leave Danny Elfman's already perfect work alone and work on something else....like your Sonic and other tunes you do! They sound good, and I take no offense to some one doing a video game tune over again (unless it's CutMan...then you should be warry.). Until next time, chao.
And remember kiddies,
I think 518 (as of right now) people disagree with you dude... And how can you claim yourself to be the ultimate fan of TNBC? You're probably some 16 year old douchebag who learned of TNBC through Hot Topic or some shit. I think this song sounds badass, and so do a lot of other people. I can't "work on" Sonic, because I've done all the music from 1 through 3... Oh, I just checked your profile, how shocking, you ARE 16 years old! You were like 4 years old when the movie came out and PROBABLY didn't see it in theatres, so shut up about "Ultimate Fan."

Xbox 360 Internet Explorer Plays HTML5 Games…But Not Flash
This morning I work up early to download the new Xbox Live update that includes Internet Explorer. My goal was to try out some of our HTML5 Canvas game experiments to see is they work on the new I.E for the Xbox. To my surprise, they work fairly well. Both 1945 Demo and Atari 2600 Match 3 work with the game pad (the mouse maps well to the analog stick) and include nearly all the sound FX (no mean feat for an HTML5 game).
The main issues seem to be the is the size/scale of the games, and mapping the cursor to stay inside the game area. I spent no time trying to update the games to work inside the 360 I.E. browser, but I'm certain it will not take very long to optimize them for the platform.
Obviously, the games are just demos and need work, but you can see that there might be a bright future for browser-based games on the Xbox...at least in HTML5. The Flash games I tried did not work, and it looks like the player cannot be installed. So much for playing Home Computer Wars on the Xbox. I guess I need to make a version in HTML5.
