Bruins Insider
Bergeron returns home; Julien calls him 'day to day'
This being the playoffs and all, Bruins coach Claude Julien wasn't giving out a whole lot of information today about injured centerman Patrice Bergeron, who left Game 5 in the second period and did not return.
Bergeron was taken to a local Chicago hospital for "observation" according to the team, was discharged on Saturday night and returned home from Chicago this morning on the team charter.
Julien pronounced Bergeron's condition as "day-to-day." Asked if it was an upper or lower body injury, Julien only said it was a "body" injury. Sportsnet in Canada reported on Saturday night that Bergeron was being evaluated for a possible spleen injury.
Asked how he was on the flight home, Julien echoed Brad Marchand's wise guy tone and said that Bergeron looked "dashing in his suit."
"Guys, he's day-to-day and day-to-day is really good news to me. It should be to you guys," said Julien.
We'll find out tomorrow if Bergeron can play in the Bruins' do-or-die Game 6. If he can't, Julien may have to break up his lines. In Bergeron's absence last night, Julien moved late-season acquisition Carl Soderberg up between Brad Marchand and Jaromir Jagr. Chris Kelly could take that spot and so could Rich Peverley. Or Julien could look for new line configurations.
"I liked Soderberg's game. Anyone who knows that this guy hadn't played in two months and played the way he did should be impressed. I know I was," said Julien. "He had good jump, there was no fear and we gave him the same message we gave our young kids (on defense) when we went into that round against New York. He just did the same thing. He went out there and played hard. I didn't mind his game.
"Whether (Soderberg plays in the same spot) or not will depend on Bergy. The other thing is, if it's not Bergy, I'm going to look for the right fit. Do I look for something else? I may have to juggle some players around. That will happen more tomorrow when we find out more about Bergy."
One player the B's know they'll have is Johnny Boychuk, who received no supplemental discipline for his hit on Jonathan Toews that knocked the Blackhawks captain out of the game in the second period. Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville gave indication that Toews would be in the Game 6 lineup.
"Jonny is doing much better today," said Quenneville. "We're optimistic he'll play tomorrow."

Arsenic speciation in a fly ash settling basin system
Brian P. Jackson, John C. Seaman, and William Hopkins
Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, University of Georgia, P.O. Drawer E, Aiken, SC 29802
Abstract: The sluicing of coal fly ash to settling basins is a major method for disposal of this industrial by-product. Fly ash often contains elevated concentrations of trace elements such as As, Se, and Mo, which can be solubilized upon contact with water and also become elevated in the surficial sediments. Both the soluble and sediment-sorbed trace elements can be bioavailable and potentially toxic to animals inhabiting the ash basins. This study examines the aqueous speciation of As in the surface and interstitial waters and the solid phase As speciation in the sediments of a fly ash basin system. Ion chromatography coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (IC-ICP-MS) was used to determine arsenite As(III), arsenate As(V), dimethylarsenate (DMA), and momomethylarsenate (MMA) in the aqueous samples. Hydoxylamine hydrochloride and oxalic acid extractions were used to assess the proportion of amorphous Fe, amorphous Al and amorphous aluminosilicates in depth sectioned samples of a sediment core taken from the ash basins. The concentration of As solubilized by these extractants was also measured. Surface water As concentrations were low with an average of 13 and 3 µg l-1 determined in the summer and fall 2000. Arsenate was the major As species in the surface waters; DMA and As(III) were detected in the summer sampling but no DMA was detected in the fall sampling. Pore water As concentrations were much higher than the surface waters, reaching a maximum of 110 µg l-1 at a sediment depth of 8-12cm. Arsenate was the major dissolved species at the sediment-water interface but decreased with depth, while the proportion of As(III) increased to a maximum at a depth of 8-12 cm. The increase in total dissolved As with ddepth was mirrored by an increase in soluble Mo and an increase in pH, and the depth of maximum As concentration marked the onset of an increase in soluble Fe. This suggests that the observed As solubility may result from the decrease in sorption by amorphous Fe phases due to the onset of reductive dissolution, coupled with the prevalence of As(III), that may be poorly sorbed by the selective extraction data of the sediment core sections, which indicated that As was mostly bound to amorphous Fe phases in the sediment. The oxalate extraction also showed that a significant proportion of total Al was present as amorphous phases and that <20% of amorphous Al was present as amorphous aluminosilicates.

'Elysium' Plot Details: What is Neill Blomkamp's Film Actually About?
Even though we know precious little about Neill Blomkamp's 'Elysium,' the sci-fi thriller tops any "Anticipated Titles" list we'd make for 2013. That's what happens when you deliver a blistering piece of sci-fi/political agitprop like Blomkamp's 'District 9.' The world's now paying attention. Do you want to know what 'Elysium' will be about? Because a new plot synopsis spells out the details.

Breaking down Villanova's buzzer beater loss to Sterling Gibbs, Gene Teague and unranked Seton Hall University
Villanova is the only top-4 seed to be eliminated. Check out what's in store for tomorrow.
Missed free throws and poor outside shooting likely cost Villanova a 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Onions, but not the good kind.
The Big East Tournament begins for Villanova
Two games in, and everyone already lost.
The Wildcats look to keep their momentum going when they take on Seton Hall at Madison Square Garden.
With tickets still available, it is a shock that the Big East still ranks at the top of all ticket sales, and Madison Square Garden is the sole reason.
DePaul! Butler! It's the Big East on Fox Sports 1!
Greg McDermott wants to see Villanova in the Big East championship
Updated odds for each team, if you're feeling lucky.
Every Wednesday until the second week of March, we will take a look at where Villanova is projected to land in the Tournament bracket by some major bracketologists.
Here's how to watch all the madness unfold at Madison Square Garden.
A team-by-team breakdown of the Big East Tournament, where Villanova and Creighton are the heavy favorites to win.
Prove your moxie by having the stones to give DePaul a semifinal appearance.
The bracket is set for the Big East's annual gathering at The World's Most Famous Arena.
Villanova and Creighton are locked in at the top, but the middle is still very much in flux.
There's still just one team locked into seeding with only a few games left in the season. Excitement!
Creighton's weekend loss at Xavier coupled with Villanova's home win over Marquette allowed the Wildcats to take over the #1 seed heading into the final week of play.
A crowded middle pack will be fighting for seeding priority over the final week of the season.

In this prospectus you will find information about our school and what we are able to offer our students here. By working with you we seek to develop a Christian ethos, based on the Gospel values of service, compassion, truth, justice and forgiveness. The partnership between school and home is cherished at St Columba"s and parents are always welcome to visit the school. We hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities you have to become involved in your son"s education. We aim to provide pastoral care which allows learning and achievement to thrive. We aim to achieve excellence in all aspects of school life. Our school community exists in order to serve the needs of our students. Our young people deserve the very best quality of teaching and learning in a safe, happy, disciplined and calm environment. We expect the best from our students both in terms of work and of behaviour in order to help them to meet their aspirations to be active and participating citizens of tomorrow. St Columba"s is proud of its past successes. Our recent Ofsted Report (September) 2007 commented that "The 2007 Examination results show significant improvement over previous years". The school is a Specialist School in Performing and Visual Arts College and the most recent set of GCSE results were the best ever with 74% of students gaining 5A* - C passes. The Section 48 Archdiocese of Southwark Inspection (September 2007) said we were "outstanding as a Catholic School". St Columba"s has completed a £5 million refurbishment programme consisting of a brand new teaching block, a new sports hall, a new drama theatre, new science laboratory, two new independent learning centres equipped with the latest technology and a new chapel. All classrooms have been fitted with interactive whiteboards and we have opened our Columba Centre inclusion unit to help support students by assigning them learning mentors to help motivate them in their learning. All students are important to us at St Columba"s and we seek to personalise their learning experience to suit their individual needs. We believe that with our staff expertise and our investment in technology we are a long way down the road to achieving that goal. Change is both necessary and inevitable in education. But I want to ensure that as we look forward to the very brightest of futures for the students at St Columba"s we lose nothing of the commitment the school has always had in providing quality and care in a Catholic and comprehensive learning environment. I look forward to meeting you in the near future.

UTMB® 2012: 145 unforgettable hoursThe North Face® Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® (UTMB®) took place from August 27 to September 2, 2012, in and around the Mont-Blanc range. This truly international Trail Running celebration brought together, as always, athletes, spectators, and volunteers who share the same passion. The 4 races, 73 nationalities, 6000 runners, 2000 volunteers and harsh weather conditions made for a truly extraordinary event.
UTMB® 2012 Interview: Maud Gobert, 3rd place women's category, talks about the CCC®It's 10:00 a.m. on Friday, August 31, in the center of Courmayeur where the 1913 CCC participants started the 86km long, 5998 meter vertical adventure. Due to adverse weather conditions the course was modified, and followed the original path of the first edition. It rained throughout the entire race, and the summits even had a light dusting of snow. During the night temperatures dropped to minus 10 degrees Celsius.
Trail running - Dawa Sherpa wins the TDS at the 2012 UTMB©The 1464 brave souls participating in the TDS (Traces des Ducs de Savoie) took off on Thursday, August 30, at 7:00 a.m. in Courmayeur, Italy, for a 112km, 7150 vertical meter adventure. The winter-like conditions made the course especially difficult this year. Dawa Sherpa, Team Petzl member, was the first to arrive in Chamonix at 9:37 p.m., with a time of 14 hours 37 minutes. Lionel Trivel and Antoine Guillon crossed the finish line not too long after at 10:05 p.m.

Elvis and Priscilla Presley's old place in the Trousdale Estates, which they purchased in 1967, was just placed on the market for $13 million. Located in the posh Beverly Hills enclave, the home used to rent for a whopping $25,000 a month!
Designed in 1958, the property boasts four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a dining room, media room, floor-to-ceiling windows, a guest house and a four car garage. It has since been refurbished with a remodeled kitchen complete with new appliances, a new laundry room, and other modern updates.
How much would you pay for a piece of history?

6New Clip from The Runaways
Finally! A clip from The Runaways with some actual dialogue! We've seen the trailer by now and I think for the most part every 20-something chick and teenage girl I know is pretty excited to see how K-Stew and Dakota Fanning managed to do while taking on the parts of Joan Jett and Cherie Currie. And ya know? What we see in this clip above seems kind of promising.In the scene, we see Cherie Currie (Dakota) get approached by Joan and a record producer in a club. Cherie was a young teen when this scene took place, so you can only imagine the kind of girl she was to find herself in that sort of situation. I'm still willing to hold on to the idea that this movie could be really embarrassing for everyone involved (most especially the audience. I'll die if I get there and I have to watch Kristen Stewart awkwardly pretend to shred for two hours), but the acting doesn't seem horrible.

64Kristen Stewart Seems Like a Miserable Person (But She Might Not Be)
I'm not sure if I understand Kristen Stewart or not. I am looking forward to seeing The Runaways, but I might eat a gun if I have to hear the word "Twilight" used in another sentence. I have no opinion on her acting, but I trust people when they say that she's not particularly good at it. I find her public persona to be both insulting and endearing. Yes, she's surprised by her fame and she doesn't seem to care for it at all… yet she's not this great actress so I have a hard time believing that she's only in it for the art. Gawd! This is so confusing!
Where's this coming from? Kristen just did an interview with Fabulous Magazine and said the following about her fame, "Nothing about being a celebrity is desirable. I'm an actor. It's bizarre to me that everyone is so obsessive." Is it me, or does that sound a little clueless and unappreciative? Like when musicians write songs about how hard it is being famous? Of course your average American can assume that it's a pain in the ass to be followed around with cameras and have teens in the middle of nowhere know your favorite color, but HELL-O! You get to be a celebrity and work in one of the most difficult professions to break in to! At least put a smile on your face and fake it like everyone else, Kristen!
She also goes on to say, "Girls are scary. They covet Rob. I think half of them must hate me." Ugh. I'll spare you the rant on how calling girls "scary" is probably way more damaging to her rep than dating her co-star, but trust me, I've got one.
What do we think about this? I'm torn on how to feel about this chick. Part of me understands what she's saying and admires her honesty, but the other part of me thinks is crazy amounts of unprofessional/ungrateful to act so nonplussed.

22Pretty Sure I Have a Boner After Watching The Runaways Trailer
The trailer for the new Kristen Stewart/Dakota Fanning flick The Runaways was released this week and OMG, you guys! It looks so good. Dakota Fanning! What!? Damn, girl! She's looking hot for days! It almost makes me uncomfortable.
For anyone who's been living under a rock, The Runaways is the biopic of Joan Jett, with Kristen playing Joan and Dakota playing the band's lead singer, Cherie Currie. We've never seen Fanning or Stewart take on a role like this, and considering they are portraying rock legends, their performances will be held to a certain standard. Maybe it's just some fancy editing that makes this trailer look so great (admittedly, we don't see much of their performances here), but my interest in seeing the film is definitely at an all-time high now.

16New Moon NYC Screening Pics
There's no nice way for me to say this and I really don't know or care about anything Twilight related, but K-Stew and R-Patz looked like death warmed over at the premiere of New Moon in NYC. Kristen's dress is great and her skin is looking flawless, but both of them look worn down to bits. Their "people" should have just let them skip the event and take a nap because from the looks of it, they are in dire need of a Z session.

24Twilight Director Hints at KStew/RPatz Romance
Time magazine published a fantastic article today about the Twilight books and movies. I think the most interesting part is about how Stephenie Meyer wound up writing the books:
The story begins with a dream. It wasn't the Great American Dream–Stephenie Meyer, then a 29-year-old Mormon housewife living in Arizona, wasn't sitting at home trying to figure out how to be the next mega-best-selling author. It was a different kind of dream.
On the morning of June 2, 2003, Meyer woke up with the fading afterimage of a vision in her head, of a young woman and a vampire, talking, in a meadow. She didn't want to forget it, so she wrote it down. Then she kept on writing. Sometimes you have the dream, and sometimes the dream has you.
And how the publisher ended up acquiring it:
The woman who would publish meyer, Megan Tingley, was handed the manuscript in November 2003, right before she got on a cross-country flight to California. She wasn't expecting great things. She'd never heard of Meyer. Nobody had. She wasn't a vampire fan either.
But she spent the entire flight riveted by that 600-page bundle of paper. "I kept thinking, Well, she can't possibly sustain this," Tingley remembers. "The whole book is going to fall apart. She's a first-time writer. I was with a colleague, and he was trying to sleep, and I kept pulling him awake and reading passages to him."
Even though it was an early draft–back then Bella and her undead boyfriend Edward actually got married at the end–by the time she got off the plane, Tingley was desperate to buy it. But it was a Friday, and everyone was gone for the day. "So I just left a bunch of insane messages back at Little, Brown and with the agent and said, 'Call me Monday. We have to talk!'" she says. "I pre-empted it on Monday from a street in San Francisco on my cell phone."
But most of America will be talking about this little gem, from the original Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke:
By all accounts, the chemistry between the two leads was intense, maybe too intense. "After I cast him, I told Rob, Don't even think about having a romance with her," Hardwicke says. "She's under 18. You will be arrested." It was the beginning of the real-life are-they-aren't-they, did-they-didn't-they speculation that is now an ongoing subplot of the Twilight story. "I didn't have a camera in the hotel room. I cannot say," Hardwicke says. "But in terms of what Kristen told me directly, it didn't happen on the first movie. Nothing crossed the line while on the first film. I think it took a long time for Kristen to realize, O.K., I've got to give this a go and really try to be with this person."
Soooo, is this a confirmation or what? I mean, I guess I don't need Catherine Hardwicke to confirm anything for me, I'll just go ahead and state the obvious: These two people have had sexual intercourse. Duh. But are they a couple currently? Who knows, but this will for sure get people talking … even if Kristen won't. Anyway. The whole article is fascinating — a highly recommended read.
Here are pics of our darling little Twilight kids at a fan event in Madrid today.

11Kristen Stewart Is Getting Marginally Better at Doing Press Events
I'm still titling this ongoing nonsense the Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson We Don't Give a Fuck 2009 Tour, but I'll give credit where credit is due: At the UK red carpet event for New Moon, there are actually some photos of Kristen Stewart where she kinda-sorta looks like she's giving a fuck. I'm impressed with her, but I'm disappointed. I look forward to photos of Kristen Stewart press events, and I count on her to entertain me with new and improved I-don't-give-a-fuck faces. Don't buy into the Hollywood nonsense, Kristen! Fight the power! Get stoned and look bored! It's what you do so very well.

If you are anything like me, you are a mess in the mornings. I snooze my alarm 5 too many times, so I'm always rushing to get out the door in time for work. It is absolutely unhealthy, but I just cannot seem to help it, so quick makeup in the morning is key for me.
Cream eyeshadows are a one-and-done deal – you just apply it with your finger and run out the door. Plus, they usually have much better staying power than powder alone, although I typically use them over a primer anyway. I've tried both drugstore and higher end brands, and I'll start with my favorite:
You pretty much cannot beat the Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Eyeshadows ($7 - shown in Nude Compliment, from a LE collection). It's the best one I've ever tried – it lasts 9 hours or so without creasing. It has a pretty dry/thick consistency, so it can take a little getting use to, but once it is applied, it does not budge. For $7, you just can't go wrong.
MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pots ($21 – shown in Soft Ochre) are a cult classic. I really do like this one, and I normally use it either as a base for powder shadow, or on its own if I just want to cancel out some of the pigmentation in my eyelid and do a dramatic lip instead. It has the best consistency out of them all, and it blends very smoothly. I do find that it creases after 6 or 7 hours, so I typically use this over my Urban Decay Primer Potion.
Another great budget option is the e.l.f. Long-Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow ($3 – shown in Toast). This is a whipped-mousse consistency, and it takes quite a bit to get an opaque layer. I do find it creases slightly after 6 or 7 hours, even when over a primer. It's pretty sparkly, so it should be applied sparingly, but the rich antiqued-gold is stunning on. And for $3, who can complain? I will definitely be picking up a few more of these.
The Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream shadow ($23 – shown in 13 Warm Beige) seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it product, and unfortunately, I lean toward the hate-it side. I think the color is absolutely lovely, and it is extremely pigmented, but I find that even when used over a primer, this creases badly on me after a few hours. It has a super slippery consistency, and it is extremely lightweight, which is nice, but the creasing puts me off from wearing it too often.
What cream shadows do y'all use?

I actually took 3 or 4 bugs to the office and showed the owner/manager and he totally ignored my complaint and rudely stated no refund on the room. He was plainly upset at me as though I caused this issue.

It was probably the nicest and cleanest hotel I've stayed at in this price range. Staff was friendly. Easy parking. The microwave and mini fridge in the room worked great. The room was cool from the AC and the tv worked great.

Logan Lake Doctor
RE: Last Doctor Leaves Logan Lake.
In 1980,upon getting married, we settled in Logan Lake. Working for Teck Resources we bought our first home with a guaranteed forgivable second mortgage from Teck if we stayed for seven years. In 1984, Teck closed the mine down and within 24 hours we were out of a job. And a house. The Bank of Montreal held all the mortgages. Most every homeowner was allowed to Quit Claim on their house.
For the time we lived there, two doctors and two dentists had practices in Logan Lake. A medical center was built. The community was doing OK. The 80's recession took its toll. We paid $55,000 for a split level home in 1980. After the houses were boarded up, they were sold to retiring seniors, after the government media blitz promoted Logan Lake as a retirement community. Our house sold for $39,000.
The lesson we learned was: "Don't buy in a resource based town".
Resale is hard and amenities such as medical care is not assured. The story of the doctor leaving Logan Lake brings back a lot of memories. Even at the time, babies were born in Kamloops. Then it was a 40 minute drive on a good day. It takes a special kind of GP to commit to setting up a practice in remote areas.
I wish the citizens well.

Revealed: The truth about Croydon Village Outlet bosses' history of failed businesses
Updated 9:53am Wednesday 9th April 2014 in News Exclusive By Chris Baynes, Reporter
Key figures alleged to have racked up more than £1m of debt at the troubled Croydon Village Outlet opened the department store following the collapse of a string of other businesses, it has emerged.
Marco Cash – whose real name is Mark Anthony Gorevan-Cash – oversaw the launch and demise of several similar companies before opening the North End store in September with claims it would last 150 years.
Mr Cash and Joanne Morrison are the named directors of Metro Outlet Ltd, the company behind the store that is being pursued for money by dozens of creditors and faces going bust if it cannot pay.
But the Croydon Guardian can reveal a second man, Christopher Anthony, is also a key player in the running of Croydon Village Outlet, despite not being named as a director.
Mr Anthony, who is Ms Morrison's partner, was successfully prosecuted by Derby City Council in 2010 after the city's Grade II listed Hippodrome theatre, which he is believed to still own, was partially destroyed by unauthorised building work.
A judge waived Mr Anthony's obligation to pay the council's legal bill after it emerged he was on the brink of bankruptcy.
Councillors rejected his application to turn the theatre into a multi-storey car park last year.
When questioned about his role at Croydon Village Outlet this week, Mr Anthony insisted he was "a general dogsbody".
He said: "I am a nothing in it. I am a nobody in the company. I'm just a general dogsbody and don't get paid enough for it."
But one employee, who asked not to be named, said Mr Anthony was "running the show", while several others confirmed he was managing the store and had been dealing with staff complaints about unpaid wages.
Many of the store's employees were not paid on time last month, with some still waiting to receive wages this week.
Some staff have held talks with employment arbitrator Acas after being threatened with the sack if they walked out in protest.
Shoppers await the store's opening in September
One employee, who works on the shop floor, said: "The staff are so low it is unbelievable. A lot of them threatened to walk out and were told if they walked out they'd be sacked.
"They don't know whether to go or whether to stay and try to get their money. They have got them over a barrel."
A security guard, who quit his job last week after not being paid, said: "These people should not be allowed to operate a business. They do not care about their staff.
"People have got bills to pay. They are hard times out here and we have really nice people who come in day-in, day-out and don't even get paid."
It is understood the store's broken escalators could not be fixed because engineers demanded payment up-front, while most of its security staff have quit.
Several businesses have abandoned their concessions in the store after not receiving money from sales, while many that remain insisted on having their own tills installed.
Mr Anthony denied staff had gone unpaid and claimed the store, which he insisted was not on the brink of going bust, had been "vilified".
He refused to discuss the company's financial problems and repeatedly stated only Mr Cash could answer questions.
He said: "There are no problems. Or there are problems, but everyone is getting over the problems and it is not as has been said in the papers.
"It is going to be completely different very shortly. It is not up to me to tell you, let the boss tell you. You will see over the next couple of weeks. Everything will become apparent very shortly.
"It is not my business. I do not hold the purse strings.
"I don't know how [Marco Cash's] pockets are, but I know he looks after his staff and I know he pays his staff. This store employs 200 people. There are still happy people in there and they are still getting paid.
"He does lots of good, he has helped lots of staff in times of trouble. It is terrible what has been said, disgusting. A lot of what has been said is not true.
"Every little thing becomes a major incident or a riot. Whatever a disgruntled employee says to you, you take it at face value."
Mr Anthony, who lives in a private road Wimbledon road Ms Morrison, added: "Everyone keeps on saying it's not going to be here next week. Am I concerned it will go out of business? No."
The store's opening in September descended into chaos when tills broke
Debt collection firm Outstanding Results is working to recover more than £500,000 from Metro Outlet Limited for five clients and and has been contacted by five other creditors.
It is understood a second debt recovery company is representing clients owed more than £500,000, with the store's debt thought to stretch well beyond £1m.
On Monday, one unnamed creditor successfully sued Metro Outlet Limited for £9,010 in Northampton County Court.
Martin Brand, director of Outstanding Results, said: "I have never come across anything like it in my life. One of the most spectacular crashes that you will ever see is about to happen.
"I don't know how they even thought they could run a business this way."
Mr Brand plans to this week serve the company with statutory demands that would give it 21 days to settle its debts.
If it fails to reach an agreement with creditors by that deadline, Metro Outlet Limited can be issued with a winding-up petition and its directors could be pursued individually for any personal guarantees.
Mr Cash is listed as a former director of at least seven other companies, including Cyclenet, Suffolk Leisure, Chelsea Leisure, Viscount Menswear and Viscount Retailing.
Several were registered to the same address in Wales as Metro Outlet Limited and all were dissolved within two years of incorporation.
Both he and Ms Morrison were also named directors of a company called Croydon Village Outlet Limited until February, when they were replaced by Chris Simpson.
Some of the claims against the store are believed to be against that company instead of Metro Outlet Limited.
Neither Mr Cash nor Ms Morrison responded to requests for comment.
