This was a cover for a story on shopping centers in Orange County that cater to parents with young children. The story package was interesting and relevant to our target audience, but it lacked any cover art. I created the illustration of the shopping mom with tons of bags hanging from her stroller and designed the remaining elements on the page to interact with each other.

OC POST Santa Ana, Calif. Aug. 30, 2007 OC POST is a daily tabloid publication of The Orange County Register. It has a circulation of 30,000 growing daily. This is one of the health pages that I designed daily before the POST cut back on content pages. With the health page we are often left with out art, this page was no exception. For the main package I used an archive photo of spinach fields and cut out the background. For the top rail story I pulled the photo of the pregnant woman from a free stock art site and wrapped the text around her belly. Emily Lawrence emilymargaretm @gmail.com

Another recall of fresh spinach
HEALTH BITS A NEW RISK Gestational ●
diabetes may be associated with increased risk for pancreatic cancer, the New York Times reported. A study by New York University researchers found that as a pregnancy progresses, the action of insulin is blocked because of weight gain and the release of certain hormones. Most women can compensate with increased secretions of insulin, but in the U.S., about 7% become diabetic for the duration of pregnancy.
A
California produce company recalled bagged fresh spinach Wednesday after it tested positive for salmonella. There were no immediate reports of illness linked to the tainted spinach, distributed by Metz Fresh LLC of King City. The recall comes nearly a year after an outbreak of another pathogen, E. coli, in fresh spinach killed three people and sickened 200 others. The recalled spinach was dis-
tributed throughout the lower 48 states and Canada and sold in retail and food service packages. It covers 8,118 cases of spinach, although the company said more than 90% of that was on hold and would not be released. Last year’s E. coli outbreak prompted the Food and Drug Administration to warn Americans not to eat fresh bagged spinach. It later lifted that warning after tracing the contamination to spinach processed and packed by Natural Selection Foods LLC in San Juan Bautista, Calif. > AP
Recall facts The recall covers 1 0- and 1 6-ounce bags, as well as 4-pound cartons and cartons that contain four 2.5-pound bags, with tracking codes 1 2208 1 1 4, 1 22082 1 4 and 1 220831 4. You can contact Metz Fresh at 831 -386-1 0 1 8.

PRISON INFECTIONS The union ●
representing California prison guards says dozens of staff at Folsom Prison have tested positive for staph infections this year – including a potentially deadly strain – and the infections are spreading rapidly. Guards, a prison dentist and doctor have tested positive for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, or MRSA, a highly contagious strand that’s often resistant to medication, the union says. Scott Unger, spokesman for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said the state cannot confirm the union’s statistics, but has confirmed 35 cases of MRSA among Folsom inmates in 2007. Twenty of those cases have come since June. > AP

ANOTHER GENDER GAP Weight loss may be associated with the onset of dementia in women, but not in men, the New York Times reported. A study published in the Aug. 2 1 issue of Neurology found that women destined to have dementia began to lose weight relative to the control group 1 1 to 20 years before dementia’s onset. But there was no difference in men. ●
Cigarette packs sold in the U.K. will be required next year to display graphic images of diseased organs in a bid to scare smokers into quitting the habit, the British government announced Wednesday.

Asthma control needs a daily regimen Patients and doctors should pay more attention to asthma sufferers’ day-to-day symptoms, not just their severe attacks. Some 22 million Americans have asthma, and guidelines updated Wednesday by the National Institutes of Health stress the importance of adjusting therapy until their asthma is under control. The guidelines reflect a shift already under way, as specialists teach patients that a flare-up isn’t the only sign of trouble. Someone who avoids an attack by giving up exercise, or thinks it’s normal to wake up at night coughing, doesn’t have asthma controlled. Asthma hospitalizations peak in September and October, said Dr. Homer Boushey of UC San Francisco, a co-author of the guidelines. > AP
> COURTESY CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL OF O.C.
Guidelines ● Give your doctor details about day-to-day symptoms. ● Have a written “action plan” with instructions for daily treatment and what to do is asthma worsens. Share it with teachers and coaches. ● Inhaled corticosteroids are the foundation of preventive treatment for all ages. Patients also need inhaled rescue medication.

Lovin’ the Lotus position
Squeeze OC was a weekly magazine published by Freedom Specialty Media Orange County. Over the past year I have been lucky enough to freelance for the Squeeze OC. Sadly the print product was recently folded in an effort to cut costs company wide. I have really enjoyed every page I was able to design for the magazine. This is one of my favorites. “Joy Ride” was an ongoing feature on peoples “cool” cars. I was inspired by the featured Lotus and used it’s color and modern lines on the page. I played off the contrast of the rules and the sleek shape of the car. Emily Lawrence emilymargaretm @gmail.com
JOY RIDE
Joy Ride is a monthly feature that’s all about the love we have for cars. Every month, we profile a different local and his or her treasured ride – be it a sleek new sports car or a restored classic – the vehicle lovingly, passionately maintained for joy rides, not commutes.
CHONG PAK, 31, Buena Park
His ride: A saffron-yellow 2005 Lotus Elise Year purchased: August 2006 Behind the wheel: Pak, an industrial design instructor at The Art Institute of California-Orange County, found the car advertised for sale at elisetalk.com, an online forum for Lotus Elise owners and enthusiasts. Pak, who holds a bachelor’s degree in transportation design from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, chose the sleek two-seater because it’s “not like everything on the road.” Only 2,4 1 7 Lotus sports cars were sold in the United States in 2005, according to Automotive News, and the saffron color has since been discontinued, Pak says. Unlike most vehicles, the British sports car is built by hand, not robots. Performance perks: Some argue that the lightweight roadster, which
retails new for around $46,000, isn’t worth the money, he says. The car may not have a lot of bells and whistles, but its performance and handling make it worth three times its price, he contends. Under the hood: Pak takes the car to a local mechanic for maintenance and repairs, but many Lotus owners he knows do basic maintenance themselves. The Lotus has a four-cylinder, 1 90-horsepower Toyota engine, which makes routine maintenance like oil changes easy, Pak says. First car: A “conservative” 1 990 Honda Accord coupe. Also in the garage: 1 99 1 Mitsubishi Montero, which he likes for its “oldschool SUV look.” Favorite cruise: “PCH has always been fun when it’s not so packed. I’d love the opportunity to take it in the mountains and drive the curvy roads. That’s this car’s sweet spot – curvy roads.”

The day after the elections I was supposed to be attending a conference on Media and Crisis Preparedness. Half way through the conference my adviser was eating lunch with me and told me that Rumsfeld had resigned. He was scheduled to give a lecture at our school the next day which gave a us a rare opportunity to localize a huge national situation. I worked with our Landon Lecture reporter to come up with the layout for this page. We split the stories into a precede for the lecture and one on Rumsfeld’s retirement with a refer box to all the related coverage inside. I also put together the time line to add a graphic element to the package. Emily Lawrence emilymargaretm @gmail.com

Rumsfeld resigns, lectures at K-State
U.S. Secretary of Defense gives resignation
Rumsfeld will present Landon Lecture despite resignation
By Adrianne DeWeese KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld resigned Wednesday after several years of heavy criticism. President Bush said he had a series of thoughtful conversations with Rumsfeld about the resignation. Bush also said Rumsfeld’s resignation was not affected by the outcome of Tuesday’s elections, in which the Democrats gained control of the U.S. House of Representatives. On Nov. 1, Bush said he wanted Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney to remain with him through the end of his presidency. “Both those men are doing fantastic jobs, and I strongly support them,” Bush said in an interview with The Associated Press. Ben Davis, president of College Republicans, said he was not shocked at Rumsfeld’s resignation. “I personally thought the same thing — I thought it was time for a change and new perspective,” said Davis, junior in political science and pre-law. “It’s time for a better perspective on the war in Iraq and trying to work toward that goal more effectively.” Members of College Republicans are planning to attend Rumsfeld’s Landon Lecture today, Davis said. “I’m thinking that everyone in the school would want to go whether you agree or not,” he said. “It’s a

I hope that everyone would want to come and learn, regardless of political affiliations.” Aaron Apel, president of Young Democrats, said some of the club’s members got tickets for the lecture and plan to ask Rumsfeld questions. Young Democrats also plan to protest about an hour prior to the lecture, he said. “It’s an honor to have someone like Donald Rumsfeld come to KState and speak,” Apel, junior in
philosophy said. “But there are a lot of questions we have concerning accountability on his actions taken in Iraq.” Bush nominated Robert Gates Wednesday afternoon to replace Rumsfeld. A Wichita native, Gates, 63, served as Director of Central Intelligence from 1991 to 1993. He has served as the 22nd president of Texas A&M University since August 2002.

Huggins secures No. 1 recruiting class for 2007 season By Jonathan Garten KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Even before coaching a regular season game at K-State, coach Bob Huggins has already signed the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class, according to Rivals.com and Scout. com. Huggins announced on Wednesday the signing of Michael Beasley, Fred Brown, Jacob Pullen and Dominique Sutton to National Letters of Intent.

Walker will join the Wildcats on Dec. 16 because he graduated high school early, signing a financial aid agreement with K-State on Nov. 3. “All five of those guys are going to be great teammates,” Huggins said. “I think they’ll mesh faster than a lot of recruiting classes

Huggins said he will be looking for another big player with the ability to score, or the best available player.

Half full? GAS Kansas sees 60 cent decrease, but consumers are uncertain it will stay low By Lacey D. Mackey

A newly constructed conference room that can hold up to 12 people is inside the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art. The administrative staff was moved out of their offices, while two offices were transformed into the new room. By Regina Nowak KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art showed off some newly renovated space at an open house Wednesday. This was the first of two open houses; the other will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today. The museum will show its new office and storage space, as well as the library and a conference room, all located in the lower main level. Martha Scott, administrative officer of the museum, said the museum staff knew more space would be needed last year. “We ran out of storage space,” Scott said. The renovations, which began in November 2005, are halfway complete, and the staff wanted to show the progress to the public. “We thought it would be fun to see the new rooms,” said Colina Stanton, health professions adviser and one of Wednesday’s visitors. “We’ve seen the gallery before, and we’re excited about the new space.” The project will cost $4.9 million and is covered through funds from the KSU Foundation and funds raised over the past few years, Scott said. “It’s fun to see it now, and then again when it’s

Christian rock band Disciple to play Wareham tonight By Jesse Sachdeva KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Nationally known Christian rock band Disciple will headline a concert tonight in the Wareham Opera House, 410 Poyntz Ave. Hailing from Knoxville, Tenn., Disciple has garnered six number-one hits in its 10-year existence. The band has made a name for itself in the Christian rock community, and has been nominated for four Dove awards, including Best Hard Rock Song and Album of the Year. Jason Grogan, director of youth ministries at First United Methodist Church, helped organize the concert. “We began planning the concert in late May,” Grogan said. “I worked with several youth pastors in town and Manhattan Christian College to organize the concert. We didn’t really have any corporate sponsors besides the [First United Methodist] Church.” Opening the show will be two bands Grogan described as “up and coming” on the Christian rock scene, Grand Prize and Red. According to its official Web site, Grand Prize released its debut album in January 2005. Its sound has been compared with that of popular Christianturned-mainstream band, Switchfoot. Grogan described the other opener, Red, as “a hard-hitting, Christian metal group.” “We picked the Wareham as our venue because we See BAND Page 8

When gas prices started falling in September, the company Scott Mainville works for took a sigh of relief. “There was totally rejoicement to that,” said Mainville, operational officer for Double CC Delivery in Manhattan. After having to tag additional expenses onto customers’ bills this year to cover the increased cost of driving across the country, the company has been able to loosen its belt and give customers a better rate, Mainville said. The average price of gas in Kansas on Wednesday was $2.129, according to www.kansasgasprices.com, more than a 60-cent decrease from Kansas’ average last month of $2.756. The Web site reported the average price of gas in the United States on Wednesday was $2.361, about 46 cents less than the average last month of $2.824. Despite the rapid decline in gas prices, some remain skeptical of two things — how low and how long. “I wish I could say it’s coming down as fast as it went up,” Mainville said. Michael Babcock, professor of economics, said several components probably have influenced lower gas prices, including less truck traffic and a slowing economy. “Demand is down because people reacted to the price being high,” he said. “Also, once you get out of the summer, the amount of driving is significantly decreased.” The supply of gas also has been comparatively strong in recent months, Babcock said. “We haven’t had any major crises in countries in the Middle East, and we haven’t had any hurricanes tear up St. Louis,” he said. “You put all of that together, and you get lower prices.” While there is talk of prices continuing to fall and staying low, Babcock said he is skeptical. “I just don’t see that happening, because if you have 99cent gas, demand goes up, and the oil producers turn back up,” he said. “I just don’t see it happening.” In future months, Mainville said he thought the price would initially continue to fall and pick up early next year. But Mainville said in his opinion, the days of 99-cent gas are over. “I really don’t think we’ll ever see it less than $1.75,” he said. “I think that is the lowest I’ll see it.” Mainville said paying for diesel fuel, which most of Double CC Delivery’s trucks use, has been the biggest cost effect for business. “People don’t want to ship stuff if they have to pay more for fuel,” he said. “All your local stores felt the crunch of it going up.” The increased price of gas affects whoever is shipping items, Mainville said, including a necessary surcharge that gets added to many of the shipping deliveries. Mary Gonzales, AAA district office supervisor in the Manhattan area, said a lower price for gas has made traveling easier for many of her clients. “I think it’s a great thing, not only for travelers, but also for the economy in general,” she said. After gas prices reached more than $3 per gallon during the summer, Gonzales said AAA tried to combat decreased travel by incorporating an advertising campaign called “One-tank trips.” She said the summer advertisement listed destinations people could take on one tank of gas. Despite the high gas prices, Gonzales said people have been determined to make the best of the economic strain it has put on their wallets. “They’re not going to let it deteriorate their family outings,” she said. As prices fall, Gonzales said people need to take advantage of the change in the market, while keeping the big picture in mind. “The decrease in fuel prices is astounding, but I think people need to look at the whole aspect,” she said. “Let’s not overindulge in that reduction.”

Out
JaSon DoCkinS Coming out can mark an important life milestone - so important that Jason Dockins, sophomore in women’s studies, remembers the exact day — Feb. 16, 2003. On that day, Dockins went for a ride with an openly lesbian friend and asked her how she came out to her parents. His friend put together the pieces and guessed what he was trying to say — he was gay. That first, literally white-knuckled step, he said, was the hardest. Things got easier, especially when he approached some old acquaintances who already had suspicions of their own. “Some of my friends who knew me in high school said I had glitter on my placenta,” he said. The next, and most uncertain step, came in June 2004, when Dockins told his father. “I actually had an overnight bag ready to go,” he said. After preparing for the worst, Dockins said he and his father hugged, cried and talked about his father’s fears that he had failed as a parent and that no one would carry on the family line.
JOSH REED, SOPHOMORE IN FOOD SCIENCE
JoSH ReeD When Josh Reed, sophomore in food science, came out to his mother in 2001, the response took him by surprise. He called her in from the kitchen and told her he was gay. She said OK and went back to cooking. He sat and wondered if something had gone wrong before asking his mother if she had heard him correctly. Reed remembered his mother’s response as: “Yeah, you told me you were gay - so how many pieces of chicken do you want?” After dinner he asked, just once more, if everything was all right. “Josh, you’re gay; you’re not a serial killer.” Reed said, with few exceptions, everyone he approached when he came out was friendly and supportive. Although he came out in 2001, he said he felt different long before that. “(I) knew from about 7 or 8 that I was different,” he said. “But the word for that didn’t come to me until later.” For Reed, though, the coming-out process has, thankfully, lacked the burdens and difficulties that many face.

MAGGIE SEBELIUS, 2005 K-STATE GRADUATE
Nineteen years ago today, 500,000 people marched in Washington, D.C., to raise awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues. Since then, Oct. 11 has been celebrated by members of the LGBT community and their allies as National Coming Out Day. The Human Rights Campaign Foundation has managed the event under the National Coming Out Project since the 1987 rally. According to the foundation’s Web site, this year’s theme, “Talk About It,” is a continuation of the process that aims to “empower gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and allied Americans to live openly and honestly about their lives.” As part of the campaign, three homosexual individuals and one lesbian couple have agreed to share their stories with the Collegian.
Dockins reassured his father, first, that he had not failed as a parent, and second, that he still, someday, wants children. The final step in Dockins’ coming-out process was stepping down from his position as an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. The Boy Scout’s controversial zero tolerance policy has left some former high-ranking members stripped of their positions and banished. But Dockins’ diplomatic approach to the situation allowed him to resign peacefully. Some of the senior officials even said if he kept quiet about his sexuality, they would allow him to stay. But Dockins said his passion for political issues assuredly would place him in the spotlight and decided, instead, to step down. Dockins said coming out is a personal decision, and each person must come to that decision on his or her own. “You need to do it on your own terms, not anyone else’s,” he said. “You know when it’s ready.”

kansas avoids recalled lettuce By kristina Monroe KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
Vegetarians beware: just weeks after spinach shipments were recalled because of E. coli contamination, lettuce has been recalled for fear of the potentially deadly bacteria. The Nunes Company of Salinas, Calif., voluntarily issued a recall Sunday of 8,533 cartons of green leaf lettuce. The lettuce was irrigated with water that has tested positive for a generic form of E. coli. The company has accounted for all but 250 cartons of the recalled lettuce, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. “Clearly, the company did the right thing in terms of taking a cautious approach,” said Dr. David Acheson, chief medical officer for the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, the branch of the federal Food and Drug Administration that handles food-borne illnesses.

Google buys video-sharing Web site By Josh Rouse KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
The Internet search engine Google made history with its recent purchase of YouTube.com, a video-sharing Web site that has made news for several alleged copyright infringements. Google purchased the Web site Monday for $1.65 billion, the most expensive purchase Google has ever made. With YouTube’s average showing of 100 million video clips per day, bloggers and experts alike are speculating whether the increased ad space of YouTube will be worth the money for Google. Chad Hurley, CEO and co-founder of YouTube, said in a news release he is confident that the new partnership will have many future benefits. “Our community has played a vital role in changing the way that people consume media, creating a new clip culture,” Hurley said in the release. “By joining forces with Google, we can benefit from its global reach and technology leadership to deliver a more comprehensive entertainment experience for our users and to create new opportunities for our partners. I’m confident that with this partnership, we’ll have the flexibility and resources needed to pursue our goal of building the next-generation platform for serving media worldwide.” Dave MacFarland, associate professor of electronic media, said he isn’t worried about YouTube being compromised or Google making more money.

Important plastic facts to remember before you swipe
Tips for cutting credit debt ■ Take time to create a monthly budget. Make sure it’s realistic and includes your monthly
credit card payments. Keep your monthly debt load at 10-15 percent of your monthly net income (after taxes).
■ Limit your limit. You don’t have to accept an increase in your spending limit, especially if
you know you’ll have a problem paying it back over time.
■ Maximize your minimum. The minimum payment on your credit card statement is just
that — the minimum they will accept. It doesn’t mean, however, it is all you should pay. Even if it’s just an extra $5, send it in and get that card paid off faster.
■ Be on time, every time. Your payment must reach the credit card company by the pay-
ment due date. Otherwise, it is considered a late payment, and it could cost you as much as 15 percent of the minimum payment due.
■ Keep in touch. Call your credit card company right away if you can’t make a payment on
your account for any reason. Most likely a special payment arrangement can be worked out, while keeping your good credit history intact. Source: www.youngmoney.com Web sites that can help: www.cardratings.com www.bankrate.com

SWIPE AND GO. For many students, credit card use is a frequent practice, and it often starts when they first leave home. Students can be bombarded with up to a dozen credit card offers when they first arrive on campus, and once they are approved, spending can be difficult to stop. According to Nellie Mae, a leading student loan lender, 81 percent of college students have at least one credit card, and the average student graduates with $3,000 in credit card debt.

card companies because they are an easy target and not very educated when it comes to personal finance,” said Fred Brock, assistant professor of journalism and author of “Live Well on Less Than You Think: The New York Times Guide to Achieving Your Financial Freedom.” Many credit card companies take advantage of the psychological power a credit card gives a person, which results in impulse purchases that usually take students years to pay off, said Brock, a former business editor and columnist for The New York Times. “But in the society we live in today, it’s hard to live without a credit card, and there are emergencies that occur when a card comes in handy, like buying airline tickets and buying things online,” Brock said.

MINIMUM PAYMENTS DON’T PAY OFF Many students make the mistake of charging more than they can afford. When students only pay the minimum balance, it can take years to pay off, Brock said. According to www.bankrate.com, if a student has a $500 balance on a credit card with an 18 percent interest rate, and pays only the $15 minimum payment each month, it will take 74 months — more than 6 years — to pay it off.

ARNOLD Governor-elect receives mandate from voters By the numbers By Dick Polman Special to el Don
T
he TV crews from Japan and Norway, the breathless blonde anchorwoman from Entertainment Tonight and the correspondent from Flex magazine are all heading for home. The loudspeakers that blared Twisted Sister s music have been packed away. All the glitzy trappings of a celebrity cavalcade soon will be forgotten. And Arnold Schwarzenegger, after triumphing over a field of 135 candidates and achieving 48 percent of the vote, will be stuck with the job of politician.

ASG considers impeaching Dennis CAMPUS: The status of the senate is questioned as the person who appointed them is deemed unfit to serve.
By Hector Madrigal-Ramirez el Don Views Editor
In a meeting that saw the resignation and dismissal of three Associated Student Government officials and the attempted ouster of another, embattled ASG President Shellown Dennis narrowly avoided an impeachment procedure last Tuesday when the senate voted 3-2 to shelve a matter until tomorrow. Dennis is accused of dereliction of duty by failing to appoint an interim ASG member to the judicial branch in lieu of senate-approved justices. Dennis also stands accused of unconstitutionally appointing a Recruitment Commissioner and of
accusing a Santa Ana College student of theft without offering evidence. The president denies having made the charges. She also faults the senate for rejecting judicial nominees, which delayed appointments until last week. Some senators have alleged that certain applicants for senate and other ASG positions have been passed over in favor of other candidates for no apparent reason. According to Dennis original accuser, Senator of Human Services and Technology, Armando Aguilar, only one of a group of at least eight applicants who were approved to Please see GOVERNMENT, Page 5

I took photos of individual buildings on campus, cut them out and placed them into my palm using Adobe Photoshop. The other hand, holding money, symbolizes the cost of the renovations.

he first wave of Measure E projects rolled into Santa Ana College with the summer renovation of the Tessmann Planetarium. Future campus plans include a makeover for 13 buildings and the creation of a new women s locker room. Remodeling of the nearly 40-year-old planetarium started June 17. The newly expanded lobby will soon include two new liquid crystal display screens
for future exhibits, according to Carol Comeau, Dean of Science, Mathematics and Health Science. Partially funded by $75,000 of Measure E funds, construction on the building is also funded by a nearly $750,000 grant from NASA. The grant was also used to purchase a new state-of-the-art star projector system. Please see PLANS, Page 3

(KRT)—Many of the people involved in the guerrilla war against the music industry are simply out to get free stuff. They are de facto combatants, downloading songs in anonymity — unless, that is, the industry flushes them out with a lawsuit. Then there are individuals who stage more conspicuous offensives. People like 24-year-old Holmes Wilson, who stepped into the role of music activist last August, when he and friend Nicholas Reville started a legal defense fund for file swappers sued by the Recording Industry Association of America. Out of a home office in Worcester, Mass., they run Downhill Battle, an advocacy group that wants to rid the market of what he calls the "oligopoly" of major labels that dominate the recording industry. From simple sticker campaigns to a subversion of a music-based Pepsi promotion, Downhill Battle has built a reputation through grassroots multitasking. On March 24, the group launched its latest effort, Bannedmusic.org, a free source for music that the major labels consider illegal and onerous. One of the recordings available on the site is the creation of a Los Angeles producer and DJ that touched off a major controversy at the beginning of the year, solidifying Downhill Battle's role as an organizational force. By painstakingly melding the vocal tracks from rapper Jay-Z's The Black Album with musical swatches from the Beatles' White Album, DJ Danger Mouse concocted his own Grey Album. He pressed only a few thousand copies, but as underground acclaim erupted, the Beatles' publisher, EMI, responded with a storm of cease-and-desist letters. Downhill Battle got a threatening letter of its own when it organized Grey Tuesday, a day in February when almost 200 Web sites offered the album for download. "That was really, really exciting," Wilson says. "People were putting a ton on the line, risking getting sued for quite a lot of money, because they felt strongly enough about the position and
the principal." Hundreds of thousands of downloads later, Downhill Battle and other Grey Tuesday participants were holding their breath. "We expected to be sued the following day, and it's more than a month later, and we haven't heard from them," Wilson says. It was a defining moment for Downhill Battle and for the issue that the group has chosen as its main platform: the freedom to sample music. As a musical tool, sampling — the lifting of musical riffs and phrases from other recordings — came into its own with the emergence of rap. But in the early 1990s, musicians who had been sampled fought back. In the years after that legal crackdown, Wilson says, "they started jacking up the prices (for permission to sample). You couldn't really use samples legally without a major label behind you. You could use maybe one or two in a song. After that, it was business suicide." Today, the logistical and financial burden for independent musicians who create sample-based music is far too great, he says. Short of the toppling of the major record labels that Wilson envisions, Downhill Battle proposes a more regulated procedure for clearing samples, something akin to the standard royaltiesbased permission that musicians obtain when they want to cover a song written by someone else. But until such industry reform, Downhill Battle chooses to champion outlaw musical artists like DJ Cheap Cologne, creator of the Double Black Album, a more recent interpretation of the Jay-Z release, combined with Metallica's 1991 recording known as The Black Album. It's one of three recordings available so far on Bannedmusic.org. For the young activists behind the scenes, music has formed the next front in a full-time career in activism that has already included labor rights and globalization issues. "We picked music because, in a lot of ways, it's on the front lines legally and culturally," Wilson says. "It's really shaping up to be this mythic battle. It's definitely history in the making."

iCandy of sy rte cou s itself Photo to the Internet with its promotion of the iPod and its iTunes Music Store. Recently, along with major competitor Napster (yes, now it is legal), Apple began offering gift cards that can be purchased at Target. The card, redeemed through the Music Store, gives the consumer an account balance to directly pay for downloaded music without punching in a credit card number each time. Customers can also purchase gift certificates through iTunes or the Apple Web site and e-mail them directly as gifts to people who enjoy a variety of music. If you re on a budget and don t want to go crazy each month impulse shopping, you can set up an allowance through iTunes and limit yourself to anywhere from $10 to $200 a month. The five major record labels available at the iTunes Music Store are: Warner Music Group, EMI Group, BMG Entertainment, Sony Music Entertainment Inc., and Universal Music Group. As if Apple wasn t powerful enough in the downloadable music industry, it will get another boost this summer when Hewlett Packard begins to package iTunes on the roughly 16 million home computers the company ships each year. The arrival of the “hPod,” according to technology analyst Rob Enderle, will allow Hewlett Packard to bypass several years and hundreds of millions of dollars in development costs and instantly triple or quadruple sales of the digital music player.

Whether it s silver, gold, blue, pink or green, the most popular mini since the Cooper is now available, and it goes by the name iPod. The long awaited Feb. 20 release of the iPod mini, which sold over 100,000 units in advanced orders and represented sales of $25 million, drew hundreds of customers to the Apple Store in Costa Mesa three hours prior to the 6 p.m. launch. “People were lined up outside the store,” said Mac specialist Chris Sandoval. “We handed out tickets — until we ran out — to each customer, based on their color choice. They could get as many as they wanted.” Credit card-sized and weighing 3.6 ounces, the 4gigabyte iPod mini can pack three straight days worth of songs for $249, which is higher than rumored prices of $99 to $199 on Apple aficionado Web sites weeks prior to its unveiling. Since its launch in 2001, Apple has sold more than 2 million iPods and, according to marketing firm Parks Associates, the 100,000 advanced orders for iPod minis represent about 2.6 percent of the 3.8 million digital music players sold last year. Parks Associates projects sales of 5.1 million portable audio players this year. As the popularity of the iPod increases, Apple s iTunes Music Store, which has over 400,000 songs including audio books, has also benefited. Since the site launched, it has sold more than 30 million songs at 99 cents per download, giving Apple 70 percent of the market for legal downloaded music sales. Apple has not limited
