The Complete Thelonious Monk At The It Club (MRLP-3001)Mosaic Singles
"It was during the It Club gig documented here that these four individuals showed the first signs of collective greatness." - Bob Blumenthal, liner notes
Limited Edition: 5000 copies
4 LPs (180 gram) - $100.00
The Thelonious Monk Quartet with Charlie Rouse lasted eleven years. October 31 and November 1, 1964 at the It Club in Los Angeles were just two more nights out of thousands for them, except when it comes to Monk, there were no ordinary nights.
Rouse in his sixth year with Monk had hit his stride, truly becoming Monk's musical alter ego. Remarkably, drummer Ben Riley had joined the quartet at the beginning of 1964 and bassist Larry Gales had only logged in a month at the time of this taping; yet they already show the first signs of collective greatness on these evenings.
The band plays standards, many of Monk's famous tunes, a few lesser known items like "Gallop's Gallop" and "Blues Five Spot" and the recent compositions "Teo" and "Bright Mississippi." Propelled by Gales and Riley, Monk and Rouse deliver amazing ten-minute excursions on such Monk classics as "Nutty," "Rhythm-a-ning," and "Blue Monk."
Monk was at a particular high point pianistically during this gig; in fact, he went into a Los Angeles studio and recorded the album Solo Monk on the afternoons preceding and following the live taping. He is in full force throughout, but his playing is particularly superb on the standards "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" and the previously unreleased "Sweet And Lovely.".
Mosaic has returned to the original three-track tapes and mixed them down to beautiful sounding analog stereo masters, presenting the six sets they played that night as they happened.
More than 91 years after his birth, and over a quarter century since his passing, evidence that the once supremely iconoclastic Thelonious Monk may have been as central as anyone to the immortal music of both his country and his time continues to mount. In 1998, when the present music was initially released on compact disc, the memory of Monk's visage on a (then 32-cent) first class postage stamp from two years earlier still lingered; a decade later, the posthumous award of a Pulitzer Prize in music was far less shocking. Monk's time - as composer, bandleader and (perhaps most surprising of all) pianist - has indeed come, and shows no sign of passing.
With performance opportunities increasing, and the wider dissemination of his music that followed his signing with Columbia Records in 1962, Monk found himself able to mold an ensemble that could deliver the lean, infectious, inquisitive readings his compositions invited. Over the course of 1964, he seized that opportunity by assembling what would become his most venerable unit, the quartet that would take his message across America and around the world several times in the latter part of the decade. Charlie Rouse, at the midpoint in his 11 years of service with Monk, was hitting his stride, while Ben Riley and Larry Gales were more recent additions to Monk's universe. It was during the It Club gig documented here that these four individuals showed the first signs of collective greatness. - Bob Blumenthal, liner notes

CUSTOMER REVIEWSClick here to write a review
|Definitive Monk
|I have listened to this set about 5 times already and only bought it a couple of months ago. Monk always wanted his music to be danceable. This set is. The sound on these records is clear as a bell. Very well recorded, the mix is near to perfection, the pressings are flawless. Audiophile quality. The performance is the best Monk in my experience and I have an extensive collection. If you only want a representable example of Monks music, this is the one to get. Fair warning, though, after this youll want more.
|Monk's band on a hot night! Sexy, and sophisticated. One of the finest live jazz albums ever released.
|Monk & the Classic Mosaic Boxset Experience
|This It Club date is classic. It's obviously a must for Monk fans and this is the best it'll probably sound on vinyl. I want to say I agree with the fellow below who hopes for more vinyl Mosaic. I have 8 CD Mosaic boxes from the last 10 years (all but one OOP), 7 or so Selects and some Singles & was lucky enough to get in on an estate acquisition via my local record store in which I picked up the Art Hodes & Hardee/Quebec sets from 20 years ago. I also bought Volumes 1, 2, & 3 of the Complete Commodore Jazz Recordings that Mosaic put out in the late 80s/early 90s through the same estate sale. And THAT was an experience! Every night spinning those fine-sounding 66 records of Pee Russell, the brilliant!! Willie "The Lion" Smith, Lester Young on clarinet, Billie Holiday's historic Blues sessions which includes Strange Fruit, Eddie Condon and Bennie Goodman's boys, Hawkins, and on and on (obviously I'm still making my way through Vol. 1). And all while reading 130 pages of scholarship and fantastic, priceless pictures. Milt Gabler was amazing! I don't know, but those Commodores helped me understand why Mosaic is what they is...uh, yeah so more vinyl. It's sexy.
|When Will This Be Available Again?
|I wish I first asked Mosaic about when this'll be available again, but I would swear it's been almost a year. I mean come on that's frickin' ridiculous. I can't believe I'm asking you to sell this to me like you're doing ME a favor. - Oct. 4, 2012
|This is first rate Monk and with an excellent band.
|Essential Music on Good Vinyl
|The booklet is a bit lacking but the music is essential Monk. The pressings are quiet and well-done. I can listen to these records endlessly. Another great boxset.
|You'll Not Regret This Purchase
|Quiet vinyl, pure sound, great sets, years of listening pleasure. Bought set number #1509 in September of 2010. I only wish Mosaic would go back to releasing more vinyl. I feel fortunate I picked up the Mingus CBS Sessions on am impulse back in college. I wish I had been irresponsible enough to buy a few more sets back then.
|Best Monk ever
|So wonderful to hear this complete non-commercial set! Fantastic sound and pressings! A piece of home sent to Berlin.
|This has always been a favorite of mine. I've heard it countless times, and yet the Mosaic set still manages to be a revelation. The mastering is incredible. It's the closest I've come to hearing Monk live. Ben Riley's brushes sound gorgeous.
|Everything a great recording can be
|In the short time I've owned it this has become a top favorite. It spent literally weeks on my turntable as I've enjoyed each side many times before changing to the next one. You should market this as a time machine, capable of transporting the listener back in time. The playing (and recording!) has a laid-back, liquid quality that is totally engrossing.
|Just got set #660. I am deeply in awe at how marvelous these LPs sound. The mix is absolutely fantastic and the vinyl of the highest caliber. Hopefully, Mosaic will continue to release jazz recordings on vinyl. Outstanding job, folks!
|Hot Stuff
|This recording catches Monk with a smoken' band - a very inspired gig!! I love this stuff.
|Fantastic! As usual this box set is well done by MOSAIC! Thanks for that! MONK and his music LIVES!!!!
|Perfect music. Average booklet
|Live at the It Club is a Monk classic. If you do not have this, time to get it, in CD format or this Mosaic LP format. This kind of jazz does not get better than this. The earlier CD reissue and this LP set have complete tracks with complete solos by Monk's band members that were shortened or cut from the original release - perfect club atmosphere. The booklet is a major disappointment. A few photos, three pages of text and one more page for track listings - it is OK but not the kind of booklet one expects to get from Mosaic.

Tickets: $12/$10 students
When reedman Benny Russell was 15 years old he took his first major step toward what has become a prolific music career--one that embraces a range of styles that span R&B, jazz, gospel and classical music. As Russell tells it, his brother David, who was attending Morgan State University at the time, was instrumental in setting him on this path. "I was still in high school when David asked the director of Morgan State's Jazz Ensemble if I could sit in," he reports. "The director said I was welcome if I could play." Evidently Russell could play. He ended up sitting in with the school's concert and marching bands on clarinet, and continued to perform on several reed instruments with the jazz ensemble until his own graduation from Morgan State. He now recognizes those years as a pivotal time in his musical life. "It was in the University's jazz ensemble," Russell recalls, "where my composing and arranging ambitions really took flight."
Born February 21, 1958 in Baltimore, Maryland, Russell started clarinet lessons at age 7 under the instruction of Mr. James H. Holliman. At 12 he began playing tenor. And by the time he was 15, sitting in with the Morgan State bands, Russell was playing tenor, alto and soprano saxophones as well as clarinet, bass clarinet and flute. 1976 was the year he became a full-time undergraduate student at Morgan State, and during that time he also started gigging for the Manhattans, the Four Tops, and Richard "Groove" Holmes in addition to several other artists who toured the area.
Shortly after his college graduation, Benny moved to New York and quickly formed a jazz orchestra called the NEW YORK ASSOCIATION--a seventeen-piece ensemble that featured such noted jazz artists as trumpeters Cecil Bridgewater and Tom Harrell, saxophonist John Purcell, trombonists Steve Turre and Robin Eubanks, pianist Onaje Allan Gumbs, and drummer Mike Clark. Since then, Russell has been steadily building an impressive list of credits. Besides arranging and performing for off-Broadway shows like Beehive, he's worked with Otis Rush, Harry Belafonte, Mino Cinelu, Craig Harris, Jimmy Owens, Junior Cook, Mor Thium and a host of others. Russell can also be heard on The Cosby Show and A Different World.
In 1995 Russell chaired the jazz division at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, where he also taught jazz history. While working at the Conservatory, he was able to launch a string of other cultural activities that served Brooklyn, including a program of workshops for high school students in the Brooklyn public school system, the Charlie Parker Birthday Festival, and regular performances with the Next Legacy Orchestra. Next Legacy Orchestra is a big band for which Russell writes and arranges as co-director with saxophonist Jorge Sylvester. He first worked with this group when it was known as the David Murray Big Band. When Murray decided to move to Paris in '96, he asked Russell to take on the role of leader, the name was changed and the group got a home on the Conservatory's stage. After a recent performance there, the Next Legacy Orchestra was described by New York Times critic Ben Ratliff as "one of the best overlooked bands in the city."
In February, 2002, Russell presented his work Langston Hughes: The Soul of His Words to a large audience at the Museum of Natural History in New York. The three-movement piece written for 19 piece Jazz orchestra and three actors was received with a standing ovation and a citation from the Borough President Marty Markowitz of Brooklyn, New York. In February 2004, the piece was extended to five movements and received equally as well at the St. Francis College in Brooklyn, New York.In February 2005, Russell was commissioned to write a Jazz score for Zora Neale Hursons play Cold Keener and it was received well at Baltimores Loyola College.In June 2004, Russell was hired to chair the Jazz department at the Maryland Conservatory of Music. Already he has produced a successful Count Basie 100th Birthday Celebration that featured the legendary Frank Foster and Grammy award winners Antonio Hart and Mark Gross. Presently, he is signed to Arabesque Records. His second release entitled Miracles features James Spaulding, Cecil Bridgewater and many other luminaries.

Thursday March 7, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, leading Georgia to a 72-62 victory Thursday night that dealt another big blow to Kentucky's NCAA hopes.
The Wildcats (20-10, 11-6 Southeastern Conference) took a second straight road loss and head into the regular-season finale against No. 11 Florida in desperate need of a quality win to bolster their resume.
After Georgia (15-15, 9-8) pushed out to a double-digit lead, Kentucky ripped off a quick 7-0 spurt capped by Kyle Wiltjer's 3-pointer. That turned out to be the Wildcats' last hurrah.
Nemanja Djurisic got inside for a run-stopping basket, Caldwell-Pope knocked down four straight free throws, and another Kentucky miss sparked a Georgia fast break that was capped by Caldwell-Pope's rim-hanging dunk.
Just like that, the Bulldogs restored a 58-47 lead.
Archie Goodwin scored 20 points to lead Kentucky, but it was a miserable shooting night for the defending national champions.

Tell the Senate: Fix the filibuster
Today's filibuster doesn't require opponents of a bill to make their case on the Senate floor. Filibusters now require very little time or effort, which has led to widespread abuse by the conservative minority.
To fix this, we're working to create momentum behind a strong package of reforms championed by Sen. Jeff Merkley, including the "talking filibuster" which requires senators to speak on the Senate floor in order to continue debate and prevent a vote.
Unfortunately a bipartisan group of more conservative senators have announced a much weaker proposal (called the McCain/Levin proposal) that would not fix the Senate's dysfunction and could actually make it easier for the conservative minority to obstruct legislation.
Join with CREDO and Daily Kos by signing our petition rejecting the McCain/Levin proposal, and supporting real reform:
"I am writing today to ask that you support a strong package of reforms to the filibuster, including a requirement that senators have to speak on the Senate floor in order to filibuster, and oppose the McCain/Levin proposal that would not help end the dysfunction in the Senate."

March 27th, 2013. The queen of mise-en-scène has at this point been compared to an overwhelming array of divas and their alternates. There are the obvious archetypes: iconic crooners from whom she has borrowed a tragicomic mood (e.g. Liza Minelli), hopeless romantics of a bygone era (Marilyn Monroe), this generation's pop princesses quickly losing innocence (Taylor Swift) and savvy hipsters analyzing their place in the public eye (Grimes).
She's been accused of anti-feminism for perpetuating dangerous social constructs and for (allegedly) reconstructing her own body. She's been lifted to new heights by way of a further remove, cited as an ambassador of the cult of pastiche, mentioned by camp enthusiasts and queer theorists in academic research. And she's been described as a classic horror-show character, reprising a certain dynamic seen in the characters created by director David Lynch: part virginal heroine, part seductive villain, part, as she says in her song "Ride," "fucking crazy."
What is for the most part missing from the tear-down of del Rey's buildup are her actual inspirations. These, she cites in interviews and in her own songs, as men—Elvis, James Dean, Bruce Springsteen, the Zombies, the Eagles, and Nirvana, to name a few. And how could we have missed the intrinsic connection she shares with folk-rock underdog Leonard Cohen? His 1963 novel The Favourite Game chronicles a life much like those of which del Rey sings: saccharine sweet and heroin blue, at once worshipping and smirkingly dismissing the winding road to celebrity (all while pursuing it).
In her latest music video, a cover of Cohen's gossipy classic, "Chelsea Hotel"—rumored to be about Janis Joplin—she changes no gendering lyrics. "Giving me head in an unmade bed" becomes feminized easily, but does "you preferred handsome men / but for me you would make an exception"? Once again, the seemingly straight forward singer/songwriter has stumped us. Is it anti-feminist to place one's self in a male role, and to only name male role models, if the music industry is truly still a man's world?
Is it poetic justice to implicate cinema's supposed "male gaze"—during which a camera's lens looks a woman's body up and down, suggesting the viewer, by default, must desire her? What if that imbalanced desire is at the heart of all idolatry—or of all romance? LDR, possibly without being conscious of it, continues to ask.

First, great map!
Looking at the larger version is definitely worth the effort.
Now, some hopefully helpful nitpicks.
The buildings and trees cast shadows from a light source in the lower right corner of the drawing (physically more accurate, but typically less common than an upper right light source). The word "Albridge" casts shadows from an upper left light source. Good job shading the trees, but the darker and lighter greens (shadows and highlights) also indicate a upper left light source. You will want to get all of the light source ques to agree.
Sorry, but I don't know enough about CC to be sure that this is helpful, but I love your color shading work and think that a faint texture overlay would really make the water and grass fields pop. Or perhaps a very faint 'cloud' overlay to provide some variation to the large semi-homogeneous areas of grass. Again, sorry but I described the suggestions in Photoshop Terms (that I know) rather than CC terms (which I am unfamiliar with).
This is purely a personal preference, but I like the clean simplicity of the map rendering and think that the title matches it well, but the compass and scale bar seem a litthe too fussy compared to the clean style of the map ... others may disagree since this is really a personal preference rather than technical observation.
Have some REP for a great map that made me smile.

I love checking things off my list. I love it so much that I add quickly-done things to my list just so I can check them off. Feeling the rush of placing another Check Mark (oh yes, I capitalized it) on this week's list, I briefly bask in a business buzz.
Now it's Friday – the week's end. I'm looking back at the past few days – what's done, what's yet to do. Admiring each Check Mark on the list, I pause and puzzle over how puny each accomplishment appears. No one task seemed to do anything of great substance; rather, each task simply moved an effort one little step forward.
Indeed, accomplishments of great substance – such as eating the proverbial pachyderm – are done one step at a time…and often by more than one person or one team or even one organization. Collective impact moves the big issues.
So, each day we move forward, one step by one step. We communicate, person by person. We ask, question by question. We explore, issue by issue – each conversation, each action, each insight contributing a thin layer of substance and understanding.
Eventually, the big issue falls. But it was the daily nudge that brought that issue to the edge.
As they say, the dollar's in the details, life's in the little things, and Check Marks ROCK! So, I think that I'll go make my To Do List for next week.

Founder Insight gives you feedback from the startup trenches.
Telecure, a virtual medical consultation service, graduated this Summer from the San Francisco Founder Institute.
Below are three simple - yet impactful - lessons, Founder and CEO, Garrick Hismatullin, learned while building his company in four short months:
"We have graduated from the Founder Institute.
It has been an interesting journey which had exceeded all of my expectations. I originally came into the Founder Institute program with an idea for a social media application. Just two months later we have a medical company with a growing user base.
Here are the most important lessons I learned at the Founder Institute;
1. Don't build stuff until you have validated your idea.
2. The only people who can validate your idea are your customers.
3. Dream big, die trying."
If you could benefit from expert training and advice to launch a technology startup in your home town, apply now to the Founder Institute, which is currently accepting applications in over 20 cities worldwide. Click here to learn more.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums here so let me start off by saying hi! Now then, on to business. I've been wanting a PS3 for a while now and the opportunity popped up at the wal-mart to buy systems (that I didn't know were displays at the time :/ ) and I figured it couldn't hurt. They were silent auctions so I didn't know what to bid so I just threw in $250 as my bid.
Well, I won and brought it home to find out it was a demo model (yay) and was a bit unhappy. My question is, was it worth $250? It has a 160gb hdd, two controllers (one has no pads on the thumbs lol) one being a brand-new dualshock3. Came with all the cables minus the component cables (also yay) so it has its HDMI cable, controller charge cable, power cord, etc.
It also came with a new copy of NCAA 2009. So, would you have paid that much for it? Seems like it's just gonna be trouble since it'll only play for 30 minutes right? Metal Gear solid has cutscenes that are longer than that...so problem.

The holidays are stressful. Duh.
We seem to to be more worried about insignificant things--horrible traffic, store hours, discount pricing--than about the "reason for the season"--peace, love, and goodwill to all mankind. Again, duh.
And for busy parents and overbooked kids, it just gets worse. Making or buying gifts, studying for finals, holiday performances--it just seems there are not enough hours in the day.
Well here's an event that will surely make you stop, take a deep breath, and perhaps even give you the opportunity to experience some calm in the December storm. And it's a great teaching moment for your kids.
Tibetan monks of Drepung Gomang monastery will be visiting the Thomas Merton Center at Bellarmine University November 26-30 to create a mandala, or large, three-dimensional sacred sand painting. You can watch them daily from 10:00am - 5:00pm. The symbolic mandala is a type of fluid, changing prayer that the Buddhists create on their world tours in order to bring peace and healing to our tumultuous modern life. The Sanskrit word "mandala" actually means "world in harmony."
So, OK. But what is it exactly? Here's a good explanation from The Merton Center's website:
"The mandala is a formal geometric pattern showing the floor plan of a sacred mansion. Once the diagram is drawn, in the following days you see millions of grains of colored sand painstakingly laid into place. The sand, colored with vegetable dyes or opaque tempera, is poured on the mandala platform with a narrow metal funnel called a "chakpur" which is scraped by another metal rod to cause sufficient vibration for the grains of sand to trickle out of its end. The two "chakpurs" are said to symbolize the union of wisdom and compassion."
Most interesting to me is the closing ceremony, when in order to show the impermanence of our silly little lives, the monks whisk away those millions of grains of sand and their days-long artistic efforts and blow the healing energies of the mandala out into the world. That closing ceremony will be on December 3 at 11:00am.
The opening ceremony for the Sacred Sand Mandala of Compassion will be November 26 at 12:00pm.
An introduction to the mandala (probably with a much better explanation than I can give) will be November 29 at 3:00pm.
The Thomas Merton Center is on the second floor of the W.L. Lyons Brown Library at Bellarmine. Viewing the creation of the mandala is free and open to all, which this time of year, is a gift on its own.

AG133: The Right Place and the Right Mime
this wiki
Ash has returned to Pallet Town to find a reunion of friends! May stops by Ash's house, but Ash has left for Professor Oak's lab where Max, Misty and Tracey are getting to know a trio of Kanto Starter Pokemon. Max upsets the Squirtle which goes running to May just as she arrives with Ash's mother. May wants to know what Max is doing there when he should be at home--it seems he's a guest of Professor Birch who enters with Professor Oak and Ash in tow.
As everyone takes this opportunity to discuss their plans for the future and meet Ash's other Pokemon, Team Rocket shows up to ruin the fun with their new Sucker for Punishment, a giant vaccuming robot! Ash calls on his old pal Snorlax to knock Team Rocket down a notch, and with the help of May, Misty and Tracey, Team Rocket's plan to nab Pikachu is foiled once again.
With that excitement over, Ash prepares to depart for the Battle Factory. Glalie and Torkoal will stay behind, but Phanpy wants to tag along for the trip. As for May, her Beautifly and Skitty are living the good life at home, but her new friend Squirtle makes a perfect addition to her team. Misty will travel with her friends on her way home too, and they just can't leave without Brock, who catches up to them as they're leaving Pallet Town! Together again, our interpid group of Trainers sets off in search of another adventure.
- This is the last episode where Tracey, Professor Oak, and Delia are voiced by Ted Lewis, Stan Hart and Veronica Taylor, respectively.

Starting with a temp position can lead to a full time job.
Don't be fooled; the job market cam be very tough. New graduates often have a hard time getting a good full time job. Even grads with great credentials, experience, and professionalism might have troubles. But there are a number of ways in which job seekers can get into the field that they want even when the market is tough.
One of the best ways to get your foot in the door is to begin working as a temp. Although you will have to bounce from job to job, temping often pays quite well and will give you the option to see the internal workings of many different companies. Using the guide below, you should be able to use working as a temp to land a full time job that you love.
STEP 1- Find a good temping agency.
Much like recruiters, many temping agencies specialize in one particular industry. Therefore, be sure to find a temping agency that can land you a job in your career industry of choice. Do a little research into the temping areas of your industry to find which ones are the best.
STEP 2- Put your best foot forward.
Get in touch with the temping agency and schedule a meeting. When you go to see them, be clear about your professional intentions. Make sure that the temping agency knows exactly what kind of company you would like to work at.
STEP 3- Get a temp job.
Once you have found a good temping agency, get to work. Hopefully you will be able to find a few positions that you like that last more than just a few days. In fact, some companies have temping agencies find them employees for periods as long as six months.
STEP 4- Get a full- time job.
After you have been temping for a while, you will probably have worked for a few companies that you really liked. Be sure to stay in touch with your supervisors at those companies. Also, keep a close watch on these companies so that you will know when they are hiring for full time employees. Having already worked at the company will likely help you in terms of landing the job that you want. In fact, you may be hired during the time that you are working as a temp.
The best part of temping your way to a full time job is that you will already know a great deal about a company before you take on a new position. You will already have an understanding of the way the office works and what the work is like. In this way, temping is like interning but better. After all, most interns don't get paid for their work.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Kyle Clifford scored the go-ahead goal in
the second period and the Los Angeles Kings held on to upend the Columbus Blue
Jackets, 2-1, at Staples Center.
Drew Doughty registered a power-play goal in the first period for the Kings,
who kept up with the San Jose Sharks in the battle for the No. 4 seed in the
Western Conference as both teams have 55 points. Los Angeles, though, holds
the tiebreaker as both teams have four games to play.
The only goal allowed by Jonathan Quick came off the stick of Dalton Prout.
Quick ended with 2o saves, while Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 21 shots for the
Blue Jackets, who remain two points ahead of the Detroit Red Wings and Dallas
Stars for the last West's final playoff spot with three games to play. The
Wings and Stars both have five games remaining on their schedule.

Market Wrap: Stocks End Mixed as Oil, Europe Woes Dominate
Lower oil prices and gloomy news from Europe tugged the S&P 500 to a slight loss. Companies whose fortunes tend to follow global growth fared the worst.
Lower oil prices and gloomy news from Europe tugged the S&P 500 to a slight loss. Companies whose fortunes tend to follow global growth fared the worst.
Drug-giant Merck & Co. reports lower than expected third quarter revenue, but cost cuts enable the company to beat earnings forecasts.
Worries about the outlook for growth in China and a slide in the price of oil pushed the stock market to its biggest loss in almost seven weeks Monday.
Better corporate earnings helped nudge the stock market up on Thursday in one of the quietest sessions this year.
The major averages continued to climb to record highs Monday, and with the Dow heading closer to 17,000 and the S&P in striking distance of 2,000.
Patients have a new option to train their immune systems, a tablet that dissolves quickly under the tongue and steadily raises tolerance to allergens.
On the anniversary of the 'flash crash,' Internet and social media stocks led a selloff. But it was nowhere near as bad as that day in 2010.
Merck said it would sell its consumer care business to Germany's Bayer for $14.2 billion.
Escalating violence in Ukraine and a warning from Russian President Putin made investors wary Friday, and overshadowed a surprisingly strong jobs report.
There's been little investors could be certain about in 2014, except this: Tuesday's are winners. The S&P 500 has risen on 14 of the 16 Tuesdays so far.
An investing strategy called the Dogs of the Dow now includes AT&T, Chevron, Cisco Systems, General Electric, Intel, McDonald's, Merck, Microsoft, Pfizer and Verizon.
Biotech and health care stocks looked like they needed a transfusion of market confidence Monday, as for the second session in a row, their performance was anemic.
Positive reports on job creation and non-manufacturing activity Wednesday defused some of the recent concerns about the U.S. economy, but the major averages edged lower.
The stock market stopped its bleeding Tuesday, for at least a day. But there was no obvious reason for the modest rebound, other than the fact the market was due for one.
The roller coaster that is Wall Street climbed uphill Thursday, propelled by a solid report on fourth-quarter GDP, stabilization overseas, and positive earnings reports.
Stocks bounced in and out of positive territory Monday as a wave of big, momentum-driven selling subsided. But trading was volatile, and investors fear another big downturn.
Stocks tumbled Monday, and investors showed signs they were starting to get a little bit nervous about 2014.
Many commuters who use mass transit will see their trips get more expensive in 2014 thanks to a shrinking tax break -- but at least there's good news in the stock market.
The economy added 204,000 jobs last month, despite the government shutdown. That was nearly double the consensus expectation, and enough to push the Dow to another record.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index is closing at another record high even as other U.S. stock indexes edge slightly lower.
Signs that lawmakers in Washington were moving closer to reaching an agreement over the debt ceiling helped push stocks higher Monday.
For now, bad news is good for the stock market. Investors judged that the latest weak economic reports will make it more likely that the Fed will keep stimulating the economy
Apple is under fire for keeping billions in profits overseas, where it doesn't have to pay U.S. taxes, but Apple is hardly the only big company dodging the IRS this way.
Pfizer's animal health business Zoetis has raised about $2.2 billion in its initial public offering of 86.1 million shares, and the stock is expected to begin trading Friday. Merck & Co.'s fourth-quarter profit fell 7 percent as generic competition slashed sales of its blockbuster allergy drug Singulair.
Stocks rose on Monday after a strong gain in retail spending suggested that consumers could be getting more confident about the economy. Bank stocks rose broadly after Citigroup delivered a strong earnings report.
On Friday, it looked like this week would be ugly. Standard & Poor's had just downgraded the credit ratings of France and several other E.U. countries, the latest domino to fall in Europe's slow-motion economic train wreck. But at least in the U.S., the stock market has shrugged off that news.
Options: It's a word that makes you shiver with fear or salivate at opportunity. In fact, there's one options strategy that's almost certain to add some extra money to your portfolio over time, without adding lots of risk. It's the technique known as writing covered calls, and it's perfect for times like this.
Lots of companies are laying off workers, trying to cut costs and improve their profit margins. But how should investors view the news of job cuts at a company? As a sign of deep trouble and worse to come, or as proof of committed management and better times ahead? Here's how to read the pink slips.

Geothermal Hotspots
A geothermal future
If used to replace electricity from coal, this could avoid approximately 60 million tonnes of CO2 emissions each year; the equivalent of more than 25% of emissions from today's electricity generation.
An ambitious geothermal development programme also rapidly reduces costs – down from US$150 per MW hour (pilot plants less than 10MW) to US$90 per MW hour (commercial-scale plants).
Tapping the Earth's energyHotspots for geothermal development include the "Ring of Fire" in the Southeast Asian Coral Triangle region, the African Rift Valley, and places in Latin America, Japan and the US.
In the Coral Triangle, geothermal energy currently supplies 17% of the Philippines' electricity needs. Other countries in the region, like Indonesia, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea, could join this trend by tapping into their geothermal potential.
By 2050, Enhanced Geothermal Systems could reduce Australia's emissions by avoiding approximately 25% of today's electricity generation emissions while creating over 17,000 jobs.
Experience has shown that geothermal energy also complements forest protection because of their symbiotic relationship – geothermal steam fields need good watersheds to be viable in the long term.
WWF strongly supports large-scale geothermal power plants and is working with partners to further research and development throughout the world.

Chroma's Jo Sonja Decorative Painting System offers quality acrylic artists' colors plus a range of exciting mediums that can be used on virtually any surface — paper, cardstock, canvas, wood, glass, ceramic, walls, fabric, and more. All products in the range are compatible and clean up with mild soap and cool water.
All Purpose Sealer — This pure acrylic coating can be used as a surface "primer" to seal a wide variety of materials (including wood, metal, and glass) and to help the paint adhere better. There is no need to seal the piece first because the sealer is mixed directly with the color, so it goes on as you add a base coat or decorate.
Clear Glazing Medium — Transform Jo Sonja's paints into transparent colors for glazing, for creating wood stains, or for special glaze painting techniques. The transparent color allows the underlying color or the woodgrain to remain visible beneath the glaze layer.
Crackle Pack — Pack contains a 2 oz bottle of crackle medium, 2 oz Décor crackle, and instructions.
Flow Medium — When mixed with Jo Sonja colors, the paint flows better for long strokes, liner work, calligraphy, and airbrushing.
Retarder Medium — Use this medium to slow down the drying time of acrylic paints. Can also be used for decorative effects.

I could argue that Infestation isn't as bad as people say, but honestly, Sergey Titov is a douche.
As a paying WarInc player that was royally screwed over, I understand why people hate him.
As a result I put off buying Infestation until I saw it drop below $4.
At that price, despite it's issues, I have easily gotten my money's worth.

BOULDER — Back in August, University of Colorado political science professors Kenneth Bickers and Michael Berry won national attention for projecting an Electoral College romp for Republican Mitt Romney based on a model relying heavily on state-level economic factors such as unemployment data and changes in personal income.
The academics later updated their estimates based on new data and gave the Republican a bigger edge — 330 Electoral College votes to President Barack Obama's 208. Bickers appeared on Fox's "The O'Reilly Factor" and conservative talk radio.
On Wednesday — after the professors incorrectly forecast that Romney would sweep the battleground states that ended up carrying Obama to victory — it was time for a reckoning.

"The model was wrong," Bickers said. "Sure, that's a mea culpa I suppose. I've argued everywhere from the beginning that polls and prediction models don't vote. This gives you the historical conditions, provides a kind of baseline for information in interpreting what might happen. In that sense, I still think it's a useful tool. It didn't get the correct outcome, but it does give you the historical context."
The only battleground state correctly forecast was one of the most Republican to begin with: North Carolina.
The model erred, Bickers said, in assuming that a campaign could not shake off such challenging economic factors. One thing lacking, he said, is a good way to model campaign impact.

A wildfire burning in steep, rough terrain on the east side of Rocky Mountain National Park has grown to an estimated 400 acres.
High winds Wednesday afternoon grounded a firefighting helicopter at the scene.
No structures are threatened by the fire about two miles west of the Fern Lake trailhead. However, it prompted evacuations of a campground, backcountry campsites and trails in the area Tuesday, affecting about 40 hikers and campers.
In southwest Colorado, crews are trying to contain the Goblin Fire that federal officials say may have been started by the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad Train. The fire was estimated at 350 acres Wednesday. Firefighters burned vegetation near the bottom of Animas Canyon on Tuesday to steer it away from the railroad tracks.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days DS User Review
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo DS
Kingdom Hearts 3582/2 Days is a bit of an in-between, it's not bad, but it's not great either. It picks up on a certain event before Kingdom Hearts 2 starts, so it's a prequel to the game. As a brief overview, Kingdom Hearts is the brainchild of Square Enix and Disney, with a cast that is a mash up of the two completely opposite worlds. Mickey Mouse can totally overturn Cloud Strife in the world of Kingdom Hearts, and it is a fact that we just have to accept if ever you are to play this game.
You play the game as Roxas (who has a striking resemblance to Sora), a nobody. He currently has memory loss (a little surprise there), but he does have a fleeting remembrance of a name, a certain organization called Organixation XIII. As you go through your journey, you will encounter familiar faces as some are Disney characters and some were from the previous Kingdom Hearts releases.
For the first time in the franchise, the game play is broken into separate missions that let you set your own pace in the game while encouraging you explore the vast lands of 358/2. Missions can be found scattered throughout 7 Disney worlds. Certain places increase involvement of the player in the game as the objectives are altered as you are currently playing. A checkpoint save system is used in the game to save your progress. A map is also available and it indicates where the heartless are, saving you the trouble of wandering around aimlessly.
Graphic wise the environment is richly detailed and they match their Disney counterparts in all the right ways. The 3D character models for the DS platform is a remarkable achievement, but not entirely plausible, since jagged edges are still evident and the colors are quite muddy on the clothing. Everything is recycled, especially the audio, and the excitement wears off in tiny amounts until you are left playing with nothing but an empty shell of a great game in another platform.
Though they have stayed true to the original premise of the game, they could have made a better game if they dared to improve some aspects and totally make use of the DS' touch screen. This game is pretty damn good with all that in mind and I would rate it 7 out 10.

Gallbladder Scan
Test Overview
A gallbladder scan is a nuclear scanning test that is done to check gallbladder function. The scan can find blockage in the tubes (bile ducts) that lead from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine (duodenum).
During a gallbladder scan, a radioactive tracer substance is injected into a vein in the arm. The liver removes the tracer from the bloodstream and adds it to the bile that normally flows through the bile ducts to the gallbladder. The gallbladder then releases the tracer into the beginning of the small intestine. A special camera (gamma) takes pictures of the tracer as it moves through the liver, bile ducts, gallbladder, and small intestine.
Why It Is Done
A gallbladder scan is done to:
- Help determine the cause of pain in the upper right side of the belly.
- Check the function of the gallbladder. A gallbladder ultrasound may be done before a gallbladder scan to help find structural problems in the gallbladder. If the ultrasound is normal, a gallbladder scan often is done to check gallbladder function.
- Help determine the cause of jaundice.
- Find blockage of the tubes (bile ducts) leading from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine (duodenum).
- Look for leakage of bile after surgery or an injury.
How To Prepare
Before your gallbladder scan, tell your doctor if:
- You are or might be pregnant.
- You are breast-feeding. The radioactive tracer used in this test can get into your breast milk. Do not breast-feed your baby for 2 days after this test. During this time, you can give your baby breast milk you stored before the test, or you can give formula. Discard the breast milk you pump for 2 days after the test.
- Within the past 4 days, you have had an X-ray test using barium contrast material (such as a barium enema) or have taken a medicine (such as Pepto-Bismol) that contains bismuth. Barium and bismuth can interfere with test results.
Do not eat or drink for 4 to 12 hours before a gallbladder scan. Your doctor will tell you how long depending on what the test is being done for.
You may be asked to sign a consent form before the test.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
A gallbladder scan is usually done by a nuclear medicine technologist. The scan pictures are usually interpreted by a radiologist or nuclear medicine specialist.
You will need to remove any jewelry that might interfere with the scan. You may need to take off all or most of your clothes, depending on which area is being examined (you may be allowed to keep on your underwear if it does not interfere with the test). You will be given a cloth or paper covering to use during the test.
During the test
The technologist cleans the site on your arm where the radioactive tracer will be injected. A small amount of the radioactive tracer is then injected.
You will lie on your back on a table and a large scanning camera will be positioned closely above your abdomen. After the radioactive tracer is injected, the camera will scan for radiation released by the tracer and produce pictures as the tracer passes through your liver and into your gallbladder and small intestine. The first pictures will be taken right after the injection. The pictures may be continuous (like a video) or may be taken once in a while for up to the next 1½ hours. Each scan takes only a few minutes. You need to lie very still during each scan to avoid blurring the pictures. The camera does not produce any radiation, so you are not exposed to any more radiation while the scan is being done.
A substance (cholecystokinin) that stimulates the gallbladder may also be injected into your vein during the scans. The pictures taken after this injection can help determine whether the gallbladder is functioning normally. Computer analysis of the data may be used to check gallbladder function. You may be asked to answer questions about your reaction to the cholecystokinin. Occasionally medicine (morphine sulfate) is given to help diagnose inflammation of the gallbladder.
The gallbladder scan takes about 1 to 2 hours.
After the test
Depending upon your results, additional scans may be taken up to a day later. If you need to return for another gallbladder scan, you should not eat any fatty foods before you return.
How It Feels
You may feel nothing at all from the needle puncture when the tracer is injected, or you may feel a brief sting or pinch as the needle goes through the skin. Otherwise, a gallbladder scan is usually painless. You may find it hard to remain still during the scan. Ask for a pillow or blanket to make yourself as comfortable as possible before the scan begins.
The test may be uncomfortable if you are having abdominal pain. Try to relax by breathing slowly and deeply.
If cholecystokinin is used during the test, it may cause nausea or abdominal pain. The technologist may ask you about changes in your pain during the test.
Allergic reactions to the radioactive tracer are rare. Most of the tracer will be eliminated from your body (through your urine or stool) within a day, so be sure to promptly flush the toilet and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water. The amount of radiation is so small that it is not a risk for people to come in contact with you following the test.
Occasionally, some soreness or swelling may develop at the injection site. These symptoms can usually be relieved by applying moist, warm compresses to your arm.
There is always a slight risk of damage to cells or tissue from being exposed to any radiation, including the low level of radiation released by the radioactive tracer used for this test.
A gallbladder scan is a special nuclear scanning test that is done to check gallbladder function. The results of a gallbladder scan are available in 2 days.
The radioactive tracer flows evenly through the liver and then into the gallbladder and the beginning of the small intestine (duodenum).
The gallbladder is normal in size, shape, and location.
The tracer may not be removed normally from the bloodstream by the liver, meaning possible liver disease.
The gallbladder does not contract or empty normally.
The tracer may not reach the gallbladder, meaning inflammation or blockage of the duct by a gallstone.
The tracer may not reach the beginning of the small intestine (duodenum), meaning blockage of a bile duct by a stone, a tumor, infection, or inflammation of the pancreas.
Pain occurs when the gallbladder empties the tracer.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Pregnancy. A gallbladder scan is not usually done during pregnancy because the radiation could damage the developing baby (fetus).
- Barium and bismuth. If a gallbladder scan is needed, it should be done before any tests that use barium (such as a barium enema).
- The inability to remain still during the test.
- Being allergic to morphine.
What To Think About
- A gallbladder ultrasound test may also be done to find problems of the gallbladder. The ultrasound test provides more information about the shape and size of the gallbladder than a nuclear scan does. But the nuclear scan can provide information about how well the gallbladder is functioning and whether the bile ducts are blocked. To learn more, see the topic Abdominal Ultrasound.
- The results of a gallbladder scan should be interpreted along with your symptoms and the results of other tests, such as a physical examination and an ultrasound. Abnormal results from a gallbladder scan do not necessarily mean that the gallbladder needs to be removed.
- A test called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP) can be done to find blockage of the bile duct. To learn more, see the topic Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP).
- A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method called MR cholangiopancreatogram (MRCP) may also be done to find blockage of the bile duct.

Cottonmouth is the setting of Manhunt 2, a game released by Rockstar Games, the company behind the Grand Theft Auto series. It is mused that Cottonmouth would exist in the same fictional world as the GTA III Era, because of overlaps and references within them. Cottonmouth is much more modern, cleaner and safer than Carcer City, with skyscrapers in the area of Downtown, as well as domiciled houses and blocks.
About the City
Rockstar confirms that Cottonmouth is inspired by several southern US cities such as New Orleans, Atlanta, Charleston and Tampa, not being based on one in particular. One possible reason for this is that the skyline (as seen in the level "Domestic Disturbance") looks fairly similar to that seen in New Orleans. It is currently not known when exactly the city was founded and its Mayor remains unnamed.
In the level 'Most Wanted' many of the houses are surrounded by palm trees, which would seem to link the city to Florida, due to the more tropical climate needed for palm trees to thrive. This possibility is strengthened by the Police Mavericks seen to share the same colour scheme as the Vice City Police Department (with Vice City being based on Miami, Florida). But in-game, mountains are seen so Florida could not possibly house the city of Cottonmouth because Florida is a mostly flat state with no montains at all.
2006 - 2007
Cottonmouth in 2006 - 2007 is a very clean and safe place. This is due to very little crime taking place and only 4 levels of Manhunt 2 occur during this period. It is once said that there has been no mugging for 8 years.
2012 - 2013
Cottonmouth in 2012 - 2013 is very dark, miserable, dirty and scary place. The reason for this is the rapid rise in crime and much more of the Manhunt 2 levels (14) take place during this time.
The only known television station in Cottonmouth is TV-MK. This channel transmits news, weather, talk shows, films etc.
- Red Light
- Downtown
- Wooddale Comunity Enclave
References to Grand Theft Auto
- The Red Light District is similar to the Red Light District in Liberty City.
- The Sewer System in Cottonmouth is much the same as the sewer system in Los Santos.
- Downtown Cottonmouth is similar to Bedford Point and Torrington in Liberty City, Downtown Los Santos and Downtown, Vice City. Some building models from Liberty City, Vice City and Los Santos are used in Cottonmouth.
- The rich suburban district in the level Most Wanted resembles the Prickle Pine district in Las Venturas.
- The residential district in the level Domestic Disturbance is similiar to the Rockshore West district in Las Venturas.
- The studio back lot is quite like Red County in San Andreas.
- In the hidden interiors universe in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas there are brothels similiar to the Bees Honey Pot.
- Some fictional medications seen advertised in Manhunt 2 also appear on yourmexicandoctor.com in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Cottonmouth describes the feeling when someone's mouth gets dry, usually after smoking marijuana.
- The Police Maverick in Manhunt 2 shares its color scheme (green and white) with the Police Maverick serving with the Vice City Police Department, and the combination "M616PD" from VCPD Police Mavericks appear on the Cottonmouth Police Mavericks (This means Rockstar used the Police Maverick model from Vice City as the basis for the Cottonmouth Police Mavericks). The Police Maverick doesn't bear a state seal in normal gameplay, but in a segment of a session with Leo Kasper, it shows the Police Maverick with such a state seal with Louisiana state seal.
- Oddly the Cottonmouth Police cars do not appear to bear any state seal or city name, only showing the word 'Police'. Also, the police cars are coloured in black and white suggesting the L.A.P.D. police cars scheme.
- The police of Cottonmouth appears to be based on the New Orleans Police Dept. They share similar emblems. The cops also wear blue uniforms with the logo on both shoulders, much like the present-day N.O.P.D.

Founder Feedback gives you insight from the startup trenches.
In a post from his blog, Dave Parker, VP of Product at UP Global and mentor for the Seattle Founder Institute, lists his top 6 reasons startups fail to raise capital. He says, before taking friends and family investments, make sure you aren't making any of these 6 mistakes.
Below, Six Reasons Your Startup WON'T Raise Capital has been republished.
Here are Six Reasons your startup will never raise capital:
6. You're a Services Business - services businesses don't raise outside capital because they don't have the potential return. The reason is that you need to increase your staff every time you add a new customer. You need a scalable product business so that as you grow sales you aren't required to grow staff proportionately. Don't know if your business is a product or a service? Can you make money when you sleep? You have a product.
5. You don't have a product - you have a "concept" or an "idea". The Founder Institute runs a program called the Founder Showcase, and to even be considered for presenting to a group of 400+ people with around 100 investors, you must have a product – not slideware, a prototype or demo. Can a person or a business go to your product and place an order (even if it's free) and then use the product? Landing pages and demos are great for proving your concept, but don't plan on raising capital until you actually have a product.
4. You've picked a crummy market - because it's small, not well-defined or incredibly difficult, like music (see Is Your Company Standing in a Graveyard). Your market doesn't have to be multi-billion $$, but it can't be small. I see folks pick non-profit markets for for-profit ideas, another bad idea.
3. You don't have a team - it's just you, and sure you're the smartest person you know, but you need a team. Many investors will tell you that they are betting on the team because they know it's highly likely that your first idea isn't going to be right. Then it's all about the team pivoting to a new and better idea. Take Odeo becoming Twitter as an example.
2. You don't have any market traction - you have a product, now the question is "do your customers care?". Do you have registered users, letters of intent, actual sales or revenue? Even if you have two customers, that's not validation of your product (unless they are $1M each). Are you making clear progress into a model that you can scale? Traction can be defined in a lot of ways - here's a great blog post from Fred Wilson on Traction -
1. You need the money - just because you need the money doesn't mean you can raise any money. In the early stage you're going to have to boot-strap your idea. That may mean you need to write a check or learn how to code.
But, but, "all those things don't apply to me or my idea"! I know, you're "special" and Aunt Millie will give you money. That may be true, but before you take "friends and family" money, increase your chance of providing a return by doing the above six things.
