    News What will you do now that Obama is president?

    If the economy is purely cyclical then why do we have economic policies to begin with? It wouldn't matter anyways since it would have no effect on the economy if it was purely cyclical as you are stating.

    Graduate Is Pure Mathematics a Waste of Time?

    MP3 Video Files Freeze Up In Windows Movie Maker

    Is there any way to fix this? I tried converting the mp3 files to wmv files last night, but it reduces the picture quality by a lot so the picture quality looks all fuzzy. Is there any other free video editing software out there that supports mp3 video files?

    What safety precautions should residents take during snowmelt season?

    Just did another measurement. We have 6.25" of snow accumulation. The intensity of the snowfall has tapered off dramatically over the past two hours. Snowfall rates are now only 1/2 inch per hour. I'm calling for 7-8" when all set and done.
