It's taken 15 long years, but on Tuesday Soundgarden finally release their first new studio album in a decade and a half, King Animal . Frontman Chris Cornell says that despite the exceptionally long hiatus, he didn't feel any pressure while recording the album.
"We have a fan base that knows who we are," Cornell tells ABC News Radio. "We don't really have to compete with other bands, there's no other version of what we do, so there's no pressure really at all except for we have a musical legacy and whatever we do now, has to live up to that. And that's a pressure that I suppose we put on ourselves."
A few months ago, The Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan slammed Soundgarden for making King Animal , claiming that their decision to reunite was motivated solely by money. "I was a fan of Soundgarden, but call [ King Animal ] for what it is," Corgan told a Filipino publication. "They're just out there to have one more round at the till."
Now, Cornell has fired back at Corgan saying he remembers a time when money was very important to the Pumpkins frontman. "When Billy Corgan was completely broke, I got him a movie deal with [director] Cameron Crowe where he made $40,000," Cornell tells ABC News Radio. "He was very happy about that, and he was specifically happy about the $40,000. So next time you see him, tell him owes me my $40,000 back."

Entry and Strategic Information Display in Credit Markets
AbstractThe Riegle-Neal Act in the US and the Economic and Monetary Union in Europe are recent initiatives to stimulate financial integration. These initiatives allow new entrants to "poach" the incumbents' clients by offering them attractive loan offers. We show that these deregulations may be insufficient since asymmetric information seriously hampers the integration of credit markets. Moreover, banks may strategically display some information hindering the scale of entry when asymmetric information is moderate. We also show that voluntary information sharing emerges only when asymmetric information is low.

A full-smoking ban at all Springfield Housing Authority Properties took effect on Monday, April 1.
This time last year, the housing authority had called for a partial ban, which prohibited people from smoking inside buildings.
However, this full-smoking ban bars smoking both inside and outside of buildings.
The goal is to make these properties healthier places for people to live and work, according to housing authority representatives.
However, some residents told CBS 3 that banning smoking outside is going too far.
"I agree on the smoking ban in the apartments. I think it's a great idea. But I do not go along with it ... not to be able to smoke on the premises outside. We're not hurting anybody outside," said Marilynn Hallas, a resident of one of Springfield housing's properties.
Housing authority officials said the partial ban has already caused several residents to quit smoking, and they hope this trend will continue under the full ban.

The Aprilia Tuono 1000 is one of the maddest motorcycles you can buy, with a blend of wheelie-popping power, respectable handling and Goldie Lookin' Chain styling. A motor taken from the RSV1000 Mille sportbike, but not detuned, acts like a Mr Hyde potion in this motorcycle, but if you like the occasional foray to the dark side, you'll love the Aprilia Tuono 1000.

Should companies get a tax holiday?
Supporters say giving companies a break on repatriating foreign profits would help the economy.
Companies have as much as $1 trillion in profits stored abroad. They want to bring that money to the United States but don't want to pay taxes at current corporate rates, which max out at 35%. Some politicians are pushing for a tax holiday similar to one granted in 2004, which allowed corporations to bring back money at a 5.25% rate, The Hill reports.
Even a former union chief supports the move. Check out the following interview with Andy Stern, who formerly led the Service Employees International Union, about why he supports a tax repatriation holiday.
Post continues below:
Not everyone is in favor of the tax holiday. Some groups, including those representing small businesses, say it's unfair to give big corporations a break. "When powerful large U.S. corporations avoid their fair share of taxes, they undermine U.S. competitiveness, contribute to the national debt and shift more of the tax burden to domestic businesses, especially small businesses that create most of the new jobs," the group said in a letter to lawmakers this week.
Companies are very good at playing international tax laws in order to get the best rates possible, the letter added. Dodging taxes ultimately undermines the U.S. economy; instead, everyone needs to play by the same rules.
The 2004 tax holiday returned money to corporate owners, chief executives and shareholders, the letter said. One report found that a $1 increase in repatriated profits resulted in an increase of nearly $1 in shareholder payouts.
But supporters of the tax holiday say the money will help create some new jobs -- how many is unclear -- and will help revive the economy.
Nice try. These big companies squirrel away money overseas to avoid taxes and now want a pass to bring it back here to use. No way. If this gets approved its just a payback to big corporate contributors to politicians.
A better idea, considering that small business creates over 65% of all jobs in this country, give small business and the working man a tax holiday and lets get this tax money on the street for the consumers to spend at small businesses. This puts money in the pocket small business owners who will see more customers and begin hiring. That will end this recession.
really? A tax holiday for companies like GE who somehow gimmick their way into zero tax liabilities (heck they even get a tax credit!!). Get real!! This would only make sense if that money was forced to be invested within the US (i.e., to create more jobs) and not to dole out as more money to CEOs and a few rich chumps. Also why is "zero" tax even allowed; the average Joe even gets hit with the Alternative Minimum Tax (ATM). Why can't we have an ATM for corporations like GE that engineer their way into zero taxes.
I am all for capitalism and helping businesses but it is sickening to see these large organizations refuse to pay their dues; I personally believe such behavior is un-patriotic and I have not problem boyconting such companies.

(WNFL) - The Marquette women's basketball team will close out its non-conference schedule tonight, when it hosts Denver. The Golden Eagles are 8-and-2, after beating Oral Roberts by eight points in overtime on Wednesday. Junior Arlesia Morse led Marquette with a career-high 28 points and six steals in that game. Denver comes in at 1-and-9, with a seven-game losing streak. The Pioneers' only victory came last month against Air Force. Kailey Edwards leads Denver in scoring with almost 13-and-a-half points a night. Maiya Michel leads Denver on the boards with eight-point-four rebounds per game. A win tonight would give Marquette its best non-conference record in three years. They went 12-and-1 against non-league opponents in the 2010-and-'11 campaign.

By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer
MIAMI (AP) -- In the wake of the Miami Dolphins' bullying scandal, the NYU sports and society program has proposed a range of initiatives for youth athletics to combat intolerant behavior in sports.
The program issued a white paper Tuesday examining the problem. Work on the paper began after Stephen Ross, the Dolphins' owner, approached NYU law dean Trevor Morrison in December to discuss ways to increase civility and respect in sports and society at large.
The white paper was written by professor Arthur R. Miller and other faculty who are members of the sports and society program at NYU.
An investigation for the NFL determined Dolphins guard Richie Incognito and two other offensive linemen engaged in persistent harassment of tackle Jonathan Martin.

The following is a guest post by Joshua Spivak, a research fellow at the Hugh L. Carey Center for Government Reform at Wagner College and a lawyer. The opinions expressed are his own.
Trying to draw some direct implications between the country's economic doldrums and the Obama administration, House Minority Leader John Boehner called for the firing of the administration's economic team, including Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
Boehner may just be looking to score some easy political points, but he is following in a grand tradition. With nearly every electoral or polling downturn, a president is faced with calls to remove cabinet members and other senior advisors.
Fortunately for Geithner, and for the other cabinet members, Obama certainly knows firing members of his team most likely wont help his or his party's cause. Cabinet members, who serve as the face for a host of political decisions, are lighting rods for attacks. By calling for their removal, political opponents are able to claim that the president is unable to properly choose or manage his subordinates, and is therefore not qualified for the job.
As past presidents have seen, there is little benefit to having the cabinet member removed. All this action does is open the President, and his party, to criticism for blatant political opportunism and disloyalty for not taking a needed action before an election.
Instead, presidents tend to wait until just after an election to remove Cabinet members. George W. Bush took such action with the canning of his first Secretary of Treasury Paul O'Neill in 2002, just after the midterm elections. Lyndon Johnson took a more indirect route to removing his embattled defense secretary. Johnson got Robert McNamara appointed head of the World Bank, an appointment the relieved McNamara found out about in the morning newspaper.

- ExcellentAnnickVIPDined on 9/21/2014Came very late and was served quickly. Food is always very good as well as the serviceSpecial Features:
- Always excellentAnnickVIPDined on 9/20/2014They have a new menu that is really nice, especially their wild mushroom risotto as an appetizer, plenty to eat at a small price tag.Special Features:
- Superior view, excellent serviceFoodie7Dined on 9/5/2014During our stay at the Rimrock, we tried Primrose for dinner one night and also had brunch there twice. The ambience of the restaurant is nice, paired with a superb view. The staff is very helpful, quick and accommodating. Even though the menu on the paper looked exciting, the actual food was rather mediocre both for dinner and brunch, which was disappointing. Most dishes were on the fatty side, and the quality of the ingredients and the cooking style questionable. (On the plus side: nothing tasted oversalted) The only delight was the desert selection we tried at our coffee break during the day and after dinner. The items we tried truly lived up to our expectations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Italian Buffet Night to RememberMikesTastesDined on 8/30/2014Blue lipped mussels on the half shell...really good and unexpected! Other nicely prepared ante pasto. The hotel's three chefs on hand behind buffets to create whatever salad combination or pasta dish you would like from ingredients that you pick. Chef will help you devise something tasty. Desert table with creme brule', cheese cake, and about 8 different cakes with fillings and frostings...all too good. Good service, helpful with explanations about the buffet. Reasonable price compared to other restaurants in the vicinity. Watch the scene change as sun sets on nearby mountain.Special Features:
- Primrose at Rimrock ResortWeldoNWherDined on 8/24/2014The Primrose is well worth making a reservation in advance and ask for a window table. The view is magnificent and the sunsets are spectacular. The food was well prepared and exhibited an artistic flair. The service was efficient and thoughtful. A great place for a celebratory dinner.Special Features:
- Quality spottysaskminerDined on 8/10/2014Home run on some dishes but others were totally ruined. Stay with the main stream and you will be fine. They are trying too hard in my opinion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Primrose at RimrockOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/23/2014My wife and I both ordered steak. She ordered rare, and I ordered medium rare. Mine was cooked medium. Hers was medium well. My piece was considerably larger than hers so we didn't switch. Having had problems at this restaurant twice before all we wanted to do was eat and leave. The only reason we were there was that we were on a meal plan and had vouchers good only for the Primrose
- Fantastic!Kn1981VIPDined on 6/20/2014Great food with a fantastic view. We had Nolan as our server and he was amazing, one of the most professional and best servers we've ever had. The food is very good and at the price point, it's great value. You can't beat the views, we had one of the tables by the window.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/14/2014the service was very, very good....seating is comfortable... unique and gorgeous room as well as view...we had a group of four...some of the menu items were really good and some were surprisingly pedestrian ...a wonderful location with so many beautiful things going for it should never do such a thing...food quality for such a lovely spot on the planet should be part of the draw for customers...if the food is so so I guarantee that will not be forgotten and is always factored in on the decision for return business.I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/16/2014Our experience was great. We have a peanut allergy in our family and the staff was very accommodating, reassuring us without any prompting, that our allergy was being taken very serious. The food was delicious, views great and we will go back again in the future for sure. Prices were good for the quality and quantity of food as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stunning views!NedlovestoeatDined on 5/11/2014We really enjoyed Primrose. The menu was varied and the room itself was beautiful not to mention the view. We had two babies with us, and the staff was very accommodating. The only this we didn't like was that we had to pour our own wine.Special Features:
- A little disappointed.TravellerDined on 5/11/2014We were seated between tables with children who were somewhat noisy...a bit of a surprise that this restaurant would be considered family friendly considering the prices and atmosphere. The service was excellent, the food was good but not spectacular but the view was wonderful. We are not sure we will go back as we were somewhat disappointed by the distractions of the toddlers.Special Features:
- Fabulous!irishbeauty76Dined on 5/11/2014What a fantastic hidden gem in the Rockies! We recently dined in the primrose room as a group of 4 adults and two children. The menu was amazing (including the children's menu that has fantastic choices with fresh ingredients instead of the staples of Mac and cheese or hamburgers) We didn't feel rushed and thoroughly enjoyed the recommended wines from the extensive wine list along with our unbelievably pallet pleasing entrees. Staff is fun and friendly and the RimRock has the most amazing views. Highly recommend and look forward to staying and dining there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great serviceSusieQDined on 4/20/2014Enjoyed this restaurant. Ordered steak and it wasn't great - mind you I ordered it well done... Waitress was lovely.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and servicemkprovosDined on 4/18/2014My wife and I were away for a weekend without the kids, had a great time at the Primrose. Loved the prime rib buffet, the staff were excellent, and the views were spectacular. Really great experienceSpecial Features:
- Dinner reviewGreatviewDined on 3/22/2014Food was good, calamari was great, the steak was good but disappointed it wasn't bigger for the price and could have had more sauce. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The desert menu could have been better, not alot of selection. The seafood pasta was bland but certainly gave you a lot of it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Memorable dining at Primrose at RimDaddeeDined on 3/22/2014It was our first time at this restaurant. It was a very good choice. We really enjoyed our dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Primrose Dining ExperienceRoysudiptoDined on 3/7/2014It was great to dine at this place celebrating a special occassion. The service was very friendly and the food great in taste. Will like to go back to this place again next time I am in Banff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thoroughly enjoyableSnappyhappyDined on 2/19/2014My partner and I had an absolutely fabulous experience at the primrose. We attended pasta Wednesday. The food was amazing. More than enough for what you pay. The waiter was delightful. He gave us complimentary glasses of champagne as he noticed we were celebrating an anniversary. This was my second time at the primrose, on both occasions it has been fantastic experiences. I will most definitely be returning in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome food and service!foodieDined on 2/5/2014I went with 6 friends to the Primrose and had an incredible time. The service was so friendly and they made us feel very welcome. One of my friends has bad food allergies and they were very accommodating, the chef even came out and talked with her. The food was well presented and very flavorful, I had the best steak I have had in years. We were sat beside the fireplace and although it was dark outside they had this cool green light that highlighted the trees by their skating rink. Primrose is one of the better restaurants in town, the staff are well trained and they seem genuinely happy to be there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 2/1/2014Awesome restaurant. My husband and I went for our wedding anniversary and were very happy with our experience. We got a table with a beautiful view and they were great dealing with and accomodating with my allergy issues. They also surprised us with a complimentary beautiful and very tasty desert for our anniversary. Our waitress was great as well and the food was absolutely delicious. The prices for food are also excellent, especially for the quality of food. Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprisingly goodDINEOUTALOTDined on 1/25/2014Not usually impressed by hotel dining rooms, but this one is as good as advertised. Located in the tourist mecca of Banff it has great service from student waiters and well prepared food with a strong Italian influence at dinner. Their brunch on Sunday is wonderful with offerings including smoked salmon, freshly prepared omelettes, all with spectacular views of the Rocky mountains. Both brunch and dinner the night before were good value for the price paidSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of our favouritesLesess50Dined on 1/11/2014We have been to this restaurant four or five times and always enjoy it. This meal was however our least favourite. We have had excellent specials here in the past, however this time there were no specials. The menu has also changed and there isn't as much choice as there used to be in the appetizer section. We both had a veal main (ossobucco and saltimbocco) and both were quite good. Dessert choices seemed somewhat limited and pretty standard this time around. Ambiance and service remain first rate, however. We will go back, but will probably try some other places in Banff first.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, gracious ambianceReznDined on 12/28/2013Went to the Tuesday pasta night. Salad, pasta dinner and dessert were all first rate - all done with a masterful touch with a delicious result. Restaurant itself beautifully appointed - finishing materials, decoration and furniture all first rate lending to an overall ambiance of elegance and grace.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic food and ambienceWilChengDined on 12/27/2013Bradley, Abraham and Chaz all made the evening fantastic for our whole family, who were visiting for Christmas from South Africa. Food was divine, service was great, overall immensely satsified.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great pasta buffet, very freshOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 12/26/2013Great pasta buffet, very fresh and great variation. Wonderful decadent desserts too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We always return to the PrimroseJosieDined on 12/11/2013We live in Banff and love dining at the Primrose. We also enjoy it with guests. The views are fabulous as is the food.Special Features:
- Fantastic all aroundGreenBeanVIPDined on 12/3/2013While vacationing alone, I met a lovely man who took me to dinner here. Our waitress was forever a blessing to our experience. She was exceptional in her service and education of product. If I ever visit Banff again, I would be silly not to pop a visit here again. Jess - The GreenBean CalifornianI would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedDinnerfor2Dined on 11/9/2013I booked dinner at the Primrose because they said the view was exceptional. From our window table we could see across the hotel and into peoples rooms. We got to watch a woman work out while we tried to enjoy our dinner. Less than romantic. Skip this restaurant and make a reso at Eden or somewhere else downtown.
- Food Amazing Hit & Sad MissburtybluesDined on 11/2/2013The view was magical as the sun set. Main entrees were pastas & steak only w/ some other options on side menu. We didn't care for the bread selection and the tapenades were an odd blend. I ordered the Insalata Itialiana. It was large! It came with garlic toast for some reason. My friend got the Prosciutto Melone salad. We were both surprised that it was cantaloupe melon. This cantaloupe tasted off, like it was frozen/thawed, or soaked in something. It was not good and she put it to the side. The servers did not ask her why she did not eat them?! The risotto was superb! It was the best risotto I have ever eaten. We did not order desserts because we were too full. As a 2nd choice to the high-priced Eden in the Rimrock Hotel, I suggest it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Over the top impressiveFMTourismDined on 10/27/2013I cannot say enough great things about the Primrose. From arrival to departure, the service was impeccable, the food was amazing. Our group that evening collectively hails from the Tourism, Hospitality and Restaurant industries. We were all in agreement, that it was an evening to remember and one we will share with others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining experienceLuv5starDined on 10/26/2013Wow! Great service and great food I would like to thank all the staff at the restaurant especially Madtaeo our waiterSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chef's special not good forOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/26/2013Chef's special not good for an Ita;ian restaurant you would expect homemade pasta not box boughtSpecial Features:
- Perfect for our engagement dinnerSbootheDined on 10/15/2013My fiancé took me here for our engagement dinner and it was perfect! The wine was delicious and the food was amazing too. We sat by the window and had a view of the mountains. It was perfect for that special occasion!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The meal was very poor quality.1234Dined on 10/12/2013The meal was very poor quality. The vegetables were extremely overcooked, halibut was dry. We were very disappointed in the food quality which is a shame as we enjoy staying at the Rimrock. It is very unlikely that we will visit the Primrose restaurant again.
- Lovely Romantic RestaurantShuggsDined on 10/6/2013For our honeymoon, my husband and I recreated the trip we took to Banff in 2011 when we got engaged. This included a stay at the Rimrock hotel and dinner at the Primrose dining room. We have always enjoyed our meals, the service and the ambience of the Primrose, and would highly recommend it for a romantic dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- really only fair at best-wouldLarryVIPDined on 10/2/2013really only fair at best-would not go back if had the option
- Beautiful autumn dinnerPammyDined on 9/28/2013We sat looking out at the mountains and the autumn valley as the server took excellent care of us. We almost regretted having tickets for a 7:30 show at the Banff Centre, so we didn't have as much time to linger as we wanted. We informed the server of our tight timeline and she was very prompt in taking our orders and ensuring they were filled quickly. She suggested a wine that would go with both meals, veal for my husband and seafood past for me. Delicious. Note that this is a special occasion restaurant. The prices are reasonable, but the ambience is quiet and elegant and not suitable for young children.Special Features:

Savannah came in at No. 6 in Travel + Leisure's America's
Strangest People survey.
Ranking higher than New York, Seattle and even Los Angeles in an
offbeat category of the magazine's annual Americas Favorite Cities survey, readers rank
35 metropolitan areas for features such as live music, food trucks and the
character of their residents.
Such survey categories range from smart, attractive, or in Savannah's
case - "lovably weird". The Hostess City was noted for its love for
historic ghost stories and for bucking the notion of southern propriety.
The survey pointed out Savannah's weekly farmer's market, the
cardboard-clad Live Action Role Playing Club, a bustling city happy hour
atmosphere, and a mother-daughter team at Bay Street Blues that attracts an
eclectic karaoke-loving crowds.
The cities ranking in the top 10 included New Orleans, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, Santa Fe, Savannah, Seattle, New York, Providence and Nashville.

Kenna T Leather Jacket (old, similar here), Madewell Top, 7FAM Jeans c/o, Saint Laurent Bag, Vince Sandals, 7FAM x Nikki Reed Jewelry (necklace, bracelets) c/o
I absolutely love the new 7FAM x Nikki Reed jewelry collection, a new collaboration with her jewelry line Mattlin Era. Before viewing the collection, I had no idea that the actress had her own jewelry line. Her use of mixing metals and shapes is so beautiful and makes them all easy to wear everyday- I've always been a big fan of wearing golds and silvers together! The set of three bangles (in gold, silver and rose gold) is probably my favorite from the line. 7 For All Mankind is also having a 'Precious Metals' contest to win Nikki Reed's jewelry collection and a pair of jeans! To enter, follow @7FAM on Instagram and upload a picture of your favorite jewelry (statement necklace, arm party, etc.) using @7FAM and #7FAMxNikkiReed.

The Hokies first team was a confident bunch going in to this year's annual spring game spotting the White Team 13 points before the ball was ever kicked off.
That plan backfired as red shirt Sr. quarterback Logan Thomas threw 3 interceptions two of which were returned for touchdowns.
The run game wasn't impressive either for the Hokies orange first team squad. Michael Holmes ran the ball 7 times for 24 yards and Trey Edmunds had 8 touches for a total of 11 yards.
Mark Leal played the role of backup to Logan Thomas today and had the only touchdown for the orange team when he found Ryan Malleck for six points.
SHE SAID: I'm kind of on the fence with "Calvary," between full price and matinee.

See What Happens When Top Gear Goes Stateside
Tonight sees the return of a television behemoth - but in an all new setting.
Top Gear USA make its debut on BBC3 tonight, invading our shores with plenty of high octane, American-made muscle car action.
Looking at the trailer it seems we can expect all the things we love about the home-grown version of Top Gear, but with a liberal helping of American attitude.
The burn-outs, the breathtaking speeds, the ridiculous challenges, all washed down with a generous helping of three odd-looking blokes taking the mickey out of each other.
However, in this incarnation of the Top Gear brand, they are joined by high-fives, whooping and names like Ford, Chevrolet and Cadillac in place of the, more EU-friendly, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani.
Will a state side version of Britain's favourite motoring show drive audiences to BBC Three?
We'll all have to tune in at 7pm tonight to see if Tanner Foust, Adam Ferrara and Rutledge Wood can fill the shoes of Messrs Clarkson, Hammond, May and The Stig.

In this issue, two articles by three leading research groups provide intriguing evidence of the cognitive and perceptual impairments that lead to key difficulties in the way patients with schizophrenia experience their own emotions and perceive the emotions of others. Ultimately, these papers may help identify origins of the problematic thinking and behavior that comprise the syndrome of schizophrenia.
The processes by which humans report internal experiences are complex. When healthy people describe how they felt in the past or how they anticipate feeling in the future, they tend to err on the positive side, reporting more pleasure than they actually had at the time and anticipating more pleasure than they are likely to have. Anyone who treats or loves someone with schizophrenia knows that affected patients have fewer of these healthy biases; they tend to describe a less rose-colored picture, with fainter memories of pleasure and less expectation of pleasure in the future. In this issue, Strauss and Gold (1) present a thoughtful review of the concept of anhedonia in schizophrenia and make a strong argument that the concept, and in fact the term itself, requires updating. Patients with schizophrenia are clearly able to report current pleasure, and in fact they are similar to the rest of the population in this regard, so in the current moment they are not anhedonic at all. Their inability to report past pleasure and anticipate future pleasure suggests that they appear anhedonic to themselves and to other people not because of an incapacity to experience pleasure but because of their cognitive failures.
The article by Gold et al. (2) suggests that impairments in the ability to recognize the emotions of others, which have been reported repeatedly in people with schizophrenia, may be mediated by very basic auditory processing deficits, such as difficulties in matching tones of varying frequency (pitch). In this study, auditory tone matching performance predicted ability to detect happiness and anger in recorded voices when the emotional expressions were based on voice pitch, but not if they were based on voice intensity or loudness. These results suggest that auditory tone matching ability has an impact not on the more obvious emotional expressions, such as yelling louder when one is angry, but on the more subtle expressions of anger and happiness, such as understated joy, that enrich human interaction.
These two articles have immediate treatment implications. Cognitive-behavioral therapies that specifically target cognitive impairment and negative (or nonpositive) expectations have recently been found to improve symptoms and functional ability (3), and cognitive remediation programs that target a range of perceptual (4) and higher-order (5) cognitive abilities have demonstrated clinically meaningful efficacy (6). Yet profound deficits remain in these patients, and better treatments are needed. Programs that target the specific social deficits seen in schizophrenia are in development (7; see also http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01422902). The Gold et al. study (2) suggests that remediation programs targeting the components of auditory processing that most strongly convey emotional meaning may be the most relevant for helping patients with schizophrenia. Given that some of the most important aspects of auditory emotion expression have not been comprehensively assessed in schizophrenia, more basic work needs to be done to help create the most effective interventions. Furthermore, treatments that target perception and cognition with a combination of pharmacological and behavioral interventions have tremendous promise, but given the complexity of the study design required to assess their efficacy, they have barely reached the exploratory stage.
Perhaps more importantly, the work reported here begins to elaborate the mechanisms by which people with schizophrenia struggle to understand their own emotions and the emotions of others, two simple activities that serve as fundamental components of healthy relationships: How do I feel? How do you feel? Our ability to answer these basic questions accurately underlies our capacity to enjoy ourselves and others, to have friends, to be liked, to experience love.
So what happens if I fail at understanding how I feel or how you feel? And what if my expectations for what will happen next between us are hampered by confusion and discouragement? How is this related to psychosis? It is natural to think that this state of confusion and discouragement is a function of years of psychotic symptoms, but it is likely the opposite. The inability to know how oneself and others feel is quite possibly the root of the problem in patients with psychosis and schizophrenia, lurking mildly beneath the surface and manifested as social isolation (8) and mild cognitive difficulty (9) long before hallucinations and delusions erupt into the everyday life of a psychotic patient and his or her family (8).
The most recent research reported here and elsewhere urges us to revisit the question, implied at least a century ago (10), of whether the inability to process socially relevant information is the core cause of schizophrenia. If a young person is unable to report to others about his own emotional state and anticipate reward, if he is unable to understand the subtleties of human interaction, whether the stifled temper in another's voice, the hint of a smile in the eyes of a friend, or the graceful suggestiveness of a seductive movement of the body, stepwise he becomes isolated from the aspects of who humans are when we are at our most worthy of being appreciated.
Impairments in learning-dependent predictive perception (11–14) in young people may lead to isolation and psychosis. The hierarchical model of temporal processing (15) suggests that previous evolutionary and individual experience shape the manner by which neural circuitry stores memories and provides context for predicting perception. In each moment, the process of learning about relationships, whether between percepts, between people, or between adjacent units of time, helps us predict what will happen next. We are dependent on this system for everything from survival to joy. When it does not function well, the resultant confusion and discouragement lead to a dampening of emotional and cognitive connections with others, and a more personal and idiosyncratic set of interpretations of the outside world begins to gain prominence. The Strauss and Gold data suggest that people with schizophrenia have a weakened tendency to be optimistic about future events. This may render them vulnerable to having their expectations about their experience of the external world overwhelmed by internally based biases. If I can't understand how you feel, I won't be able to predict what you will do, which may make being with you less enjoyable to me. If I can't understand how I feel or what in the world will make me happy, the path of least resistance may circle me back to a resting point of externally incorrect but internally rewarding thoughts and fantasies. As with all Hebbian models of healthy neuroplasticity (16), the more this path is engaged, the more solidified it will become. Odd interpretations well worn and untested develop into delusional beliefs; a system that rewards an internally directed focus enlivens thoughts to hallucinations.
It is unclear whether cognitive and perceptual impairments precede or follow the emotional and social difficulties of people who have schizophrenia or are destined to develop it. Work is under way to address this question empirically (17). It seems likely that the arrow of causality moves in both directions. Regardless, as a result of the efforts of scientists such as those whose work appears in this issue of the Journal, we are beginning to learn the complex feedback mechanisms between perceiving, thinking, and feeling in people with schizophrenia. This work not only helps provide important background for the development of novel treatments for schizophrenia, but it may someday lead to behavioral or pharmacological interventions that will prevent psychosis altogether.

For people who want to live past 100, the first step is taking a whole bunch more steps.
A recent survey found half of all centenarians are exercising almost every day. Most are walking, but many also are lifting weights, practicing yoga, biking or playing group sports.
There are an estimated 72,000 centenarians across the country, and the number is expected to grow to 600,000 by 2050, according to UnitedHealthcare, which conducted the poll. To get into this group, others who work with seniors and some who are in their advanced years say, senior citizens should tie on some sneakers and get moving.
"Exercise is for everybody," said Dr. William Howard, a founder of Union Memorial Sports Medicine and a senior physician with the Arnold Palmer SportsHealth Center in Baltimore. "No matter how old or infirm or overweight, there is an exercise for you. There are many things to do besides tennis or running a marathon."
Howard said all people should get into the habit of exercising at a young age and keep it up. Stopping makes it harder to start up again, he said. He called it a "forever program."
The benefits are countless, from improved heart and general muscle heath to mental wellness. Exercise also improves sleep, confidence and balance. And it makes people more social, Howard said.
Howard, 78, used to play rugby but now jogs, rides a bike and does some work in the gym — all things he likes, which he said is key to keeping up the workouts.
He said many people quit after developing a little soreness, but they should expect that from a new activity. If the pain gets worse, he said, see a sports medicine doctor who can assess the workout and recommend modifications to the program and more appropriate equipment, such as better-fitting shoes.
But nobody has to stop exercising, he said. He hopes it even becomes addictive.
"You say you want to be a runner, and then you think after a while you'd like to race," he said. "Maybe then you decide you'd be better and faster if you stopped smoking. Then you say, 'I bet I'd do even better if I dropped 20 pounds.' And you can drop the weight if you eat better. Before you know it, you have a healthy lifestyle."
Whatever seniors do, he said, they should not sit back and think they've done enough exercising for their lifetime.
Many people approaching their senior years are active, according to a recent survey by AARP. The advocacy group found that seven in 10 adults ages 45 and older say they are physically active. About half of them say they exercise up to four hours a week.
However, almost two-thirds say they are less active than they were five years ago.
O. Lee McCabe isn't one of them. And his workouts aren't for wimps.
At 72, he's bench-pressing 120 pounds to warm up for his training three or four times a week. He's a competitive pentathlon athlete — which includes throwing heavy objects, such as a shot, javelin and, his favorite, the discus. In the last three years, he's competed in 60 to 70 track meets.
He's earned dozens of medals, many of them gold. They had been tucked away until recently, when his son, who has become an accomplished athlete himself through encouragement from his father, recently decided to display them in the family's basement gym in Ellicott City.
McCabe has been competing in one sport or another since he was 15, and his slim build, muscled arms and strong stride make him look years younger. He attributes that to his regimen, even if he's had a few aches and pains. He recently had his shoulder replaced, long after it was injured when he was regularly practicing karate in the 1970s. (He's a black belt.)
Knee replacements are next for McCabe, who works as a researcher in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and School of Medicine.
"I'll keep competing until I wear out all of my joints, and then I'll ask for new joints and compete more," he said. "The benefits definitely outweigh the costs."
He recommends that others getting started begin slowly, keep with it and use proper technique in whatever the activity might be. Hopefully, it's as much fun as throwing heavy things.

Can advertising be both a force for commerce AND a force for good?
People love to say they hate advertising – and in many ways, I think we've earned our bad reputation (which might sound strange coming from the CEO of the largest media agency in the world). Personally, I believe that advertising has a responsibility to be more informative, more relevant, and more reliable in helping people navigate the landscape of choices in their lives. At the same time, we have to honor our commitment and responsibility to our client partners to grow their businesses and build their brands. In your view, what advertisers are doing the best job of serving this dual role in a genuine way? What are some examples you've seen, both past and present, that demonstrate being a force for good as well as a force for business? What more can be done in this space?

Jan 18 2012: Hi Austin. I've just posted a video on this topic via Ted's youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/tedaws?x=us_showcasephase2_8498_27
In the video, I talk about a couple recent campaigns – Secret's "Mean Stinks" and Coca-Cola's "Arctic White-out" – that I think do a good job of blending "good" and commerce. I'd love for you to check out the video and then let me know your thoughts.
Jan 18 2012: I like the examples you give. Tell you the truth, I had never seen an ad of the "Arctic White-out" campaign or any of the "Mean Stinks". I may have grown very cynical of advertising. I usually chose to ignore it. However, if I think about it, recent anti-smoking ads in magazines and on TV have had a huge impact on the perception of smoking, informing the potential and current smokers of its dangers. That would be an example of advertising as a force for good.
