Economics always rule, and the rule of supply and demand will always triumph. We're seeing a historical number of start ups receive seed financing to help get off the ground. All in all this is great news, but the challenge here is that the number of companies receiving Series A investment (this is the financing a company receives after as seed round) is holding steady.
In essence we have 10X more start ups getting seed financing, but the same amount of start ups getting Series A financing. The supply outweighs the demand.
The analysis by CB Insights reports that 1,000+ start ups will be orphaned, because of their inability to raise a follow-on Series A investment and that $1 Billion+ in see capital will be lost.
However, CB Insights is quick to point out that not all start ups that fail to receive Series A financing are in the dead pool. Plenty of start ups are learning how to make due with their seed financing round to see them through to profitability.
If you're seeking financing, makes sure you know what your odds are of getting enough follow-on investing and be prepared to not receive Series A financing.

Pheebe, I just stepped into shower, and guess what was there......VO5 Kiwi Lime Conditioner!!! I used it to co-wash my hair! Will give a full report later.....Late last winter I tried not washing my hair. I made it five days then couldn't take it anymore - no such luck for me 'breaking through the funk barrier.'
I experiment a lot with my hair (which is long, naturally curly, fine in texture, but thick in quantity/volume, and not color treated). I've tried shampoo bars with minimal success, ACV rinses which, no matter HOW many times I read or hear people say they don't leave a lingering scent, on me they absolutely do. It's unbearable.
My most successful routine which has worked for years (why did I even bother straying?) is to conditioner wash daily (V05 Kiwi Lime is my all-time favorite and staple. At any given moment, I have at least 3 bottles in my stash.) Once I co-wash, I'll apply whatever rinse-out conditioner I feel like using (sometimes it's just the V05 - it smells so clean and lovely, why not?) If I feel my hair needs a little extra moisture / taming on any given day, I'll use a heavier conditioner.
Now and then I'll clarify with a more 'natural' shampoo (Giovanni 50:50 is excellent), but this is rare, once a month maybe? I'll occassionally work coconut oil into my hair at night, put it in a bun, go to bed, and co-wash it out the next morning.
I'm on a kick right now where I'm not using styling products - after I rinse out my conditioner, I'll squish a little of said conditioner into my sopping wet hair (while still in the shower), then 'plop' my hair into a microfiber towel, leaving the towel in place for 5-10 mintues. I remove the towel, give my roots a gentle shake with my fingers, and let my hair air dry.
It's happy & healthy this way, and so am I. I've tried spacing my washings, but no dice. I cannot, CANNOT, abide a gunky-feeling scalp. I live in a SUPER crazy humid climate, which is part of the reason. Everyone's different, and I'm envious of those who can go one or more days between washings - oh, the time you must save!
Anyone interested in learning more info, tips and whatnot on not washing their hair / the no 'poo method / co-washing should visit naturallycurly.com, even if your hair is NOT curly. There's a wealth of info there and I credit their site with helping me find the right products and routine.

As the American Red Cross continues its massive response to Superstorm Sandy, a concerned group of humanitarian investment managers has made a gift that will aid the ongoing efforts.
The donor group includes: David Tepper of Appaloosa Management, LLP; Barry Rosenstein and the "New Jersey boy" principals, David DiDomenico and Scott Ostfeld, of JANA Partners; Alan and Jennifer Fournier and the partners of Pennant Capital Management, LLC; The Leon and Toby Cooperman Family Foundation on behalf of their entire family; Art DeGaetano of Bramshill Investments LLC; Donald Drapkin of Casablanca Capital; Stanley Druckenmiller of Duquesne Family Office LLC; and Kevin D. Eng of Columbus Hill Capital Management, L.P.
The investment managers with strong ties to New Jersey have committed $1.2 million in aid relief to the American Red Cross of North Jersey and South Jersey to help the state's residents begin to get their lives back on track. The immediate action of these leaders in the financial industry joins with those of the entertainers who performed at the NBC Universal Telethon on Friday, Nov. 2, to address the needs of those whose lives have been devastated by Hurricane Sandy. The money has been specifically earmarked for Hurricane 2012 New Jersey Relief and these individuals hope that their rapid leadership effort will inspire others to help rebuild communities across New Jersey. This is just the first of the efforts that this group hopes to make in order to help all of the neighborhoods impacted by this tragic storm recover as quickly as possible.
"Superstorm Sandy's path of destruction stretches hundreds of miles and has impacted millions of people, and this is one of the biggest Red Cross relief operations in the past five years," said Gail McGovern, president and CEO of the Red Cross. "We are so grateful for the generosity of these investment managers in support of our work."
HOW TO HELP The response to Sandy is very large and very costly and the Red Cross needs the public's help now. People can make a financial donation by visiting www.redcross.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Contributions may also be sent to someone's local Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.
The need for blood continues and availability has been hampered by Hurricane Sandy. The weather-related cancellation of blood drives has resulted in a loss of as
many as 11,000 blood products. People who are eligible to donate are being asked to schedule a blood donation now, particularly if they live outside the areas impacted by the storm.
To schedule a donation time or get more information about giving blood, people can visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). To give blood, someone must be at least 17 years of age, meet weight and height requirements and be in general good health. Donors should bring their Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID with them. Some states allow 16-year-olds to give with parental consent.
If someone needs to find a shelter, they can download the Red Cross Hurricane app, visit the "Find a Shelter" page on the Red Cross web site, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767), or check local media outlets. People can let their loved ones know how they are by using the "I'm Safe" button on the Red Cross Hurricane App which can be found in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for American Red Cross. People can also register on the Red Cross Safe and Well website to let loved ones know they are okay. To register, visit www.redcross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Word has recently trickled into the news media about an advance by Cornell researchers last year, when a team created a genetically modified human embryo.
First reported in The Times, a team of Cornell University scientists produced the GM embryo last year to study how early cells and diseases develop. It was destroyed after five days.
The experiment was simply a test to determine whether such modification could be done, and is a step toward developing genetic technology that could be used to correct genes that cause diseases from cystic fibrosis to even some forms of cancer.
Yet in addition to potentially curing diseases before they occur, such genetic modification methods could eventually be used to add beneficial genes for desirable traits such as height or intelligence, leading to the advent of "designer babies."
Wired magazine and Nature are among the other outlets that have since picked up on this story.
I can't overemphasize that this research is preliminary, and the scientists involved have no intention to create designer babies. But the work provides a sober reminder that the age of genetics is upon us, and that our country will have to conduct a serious debate on where we're going.
Where will we draw the line on embryonic research? Is tinkering with the genes in embryos OK to prevent disease? What about otherwise enhancing humans? These are complex ethical issues that will make the stem cell debate seem a simplistic matter, but we must try to address the issue soon.
Otherwise, the genie will be forever out of the bottle.

Dr. Mick Zais, State Superintendent of Education, issued the following statement announcing the math team writing new standards held their first meeting today.
This team represents the best and brightest in the field of math around our state, said Zais. The charge of the General Assembly was tough, but clear: develop new, high-level, college- and career-ready standards that meet the needs of South Carolina students. Given the level of talent and experience these educators have, I am confident they are up to the task, concluded Zais.
A record 365 English and math nominations were received and 19 educators were selected for the math team. The South Carolina Department of Education developed a rubric to apply fairly across the board to select the team members. The Department chose applicants based on their level of expertise and ensured the team represented the diversity found across our state and in our schools. The rubric, comments from educators on why they wanted to serve, and bar charts showing the breakdown of applicants are posted on the Departments website.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Opioids (or opiates) have been the gold-standard drug class for severe pain relief for millennia. Despite its maturity, the global prescription opioids market was worth in excess of $10 billion in 2008. Significant market value has been maintained in the presence of nonbranded generics over the last few decades via drug delivery reformulations (e.g., fixed dose combination, controlled-release, patch), providing both market exclusivity and the possibility of a high price point.
As a result, distinct opioid sub-markets can now be identified based on the speed and length of action, convenience, and route of delivery. One such market is the emergence of short- and rapid-acting opioid formulations specifically designed to tackle breakthrough pain.
Common in late-stage cancer patients, breakthrough pain is a transient exacerbation of pain that occurs in those with otherwise stable, baseline-persistent pain. Breakthrough pain can also afflict noncancer patients suffering from conditions such as arthritis, low-back pain, and diabetic neuropathy.
Cephalon effectively created the short- and rapid-acting opioids market in 1998 when it launched Actiq (oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate), a lollipop formulation of fentanyl indicated for breakthrough cancer pain in opioid-tolerant patients. Actiq provided both a rapid onset of action (approximately 15 minutes) and a short duration of action (approximately two hours).
Cephalon launched a follow-on product to Actiq in 2006 in the U.S. Fentora (buccal fentanyl) is an effervescent buccal formulation of fentanyl, producing a quicker onset of action than Actiq at approximately 10 minutes. Generic versions of Actiq were also launched in 2006 in the U.S., providing nonbranded competition in the short- and rapid-acting opioids market.
The global short- and rapid-acting opioids market grew to nearly $800 million in 2007; however sales of this drug class declined in 2008 to around $700 million. While a proportion of this global downturn can be attributed to generic Actiq incursion in the U.S., this cannot explain the reduction in total volume of short- and rapid-acting opioid units sold (including generics) observed in 2008.
The drop in volume sales is likely a result of reduced off-label prescribing. In 2007, Cephalon agreed to settle a large lawsuit concerning marketing of Actiq for nonapproved indications in the U.S. As a significant proportion of Actiq's prescriptions were off-label in noncancer indications (up to 80%), this spotlight on Cephalon's marketing practices has hit sales of its breakthrough pain franchise.
Relying on predominantly breakthrough cancer pain patients has restricted the revenue potential for Fentora when compared with Actiq a few years earlier. In addition, Cephalon severely cut promotional spending on Fentora in the U.S., possibly as a result of the heightened scrutiny regarding marketing messages and the need to ensure that only cancer breakthrough pain patients were being targeted.
In order to enhance the revenue potential of Fentora in this more stringently monitored environment, Cephalon is seeking a broad noncancer breakthrough pain indication in the U.S.
Actiq and Fentora could be useful pharmacological tools for patients suffering from noncancer breakthrough pain if managed appropriately. The off-label prescribing observed with Actiq demonstrates the demand for such medication in noncancer breakthrough pain. Although delayed, Datamonitor believes that Fentora will receive the noncancer pain label being sought, both opening up a future market and serving a clear unmet need for patients.

He never actually explains what his system is, but based on his vague descriptions and his knowledge of blackjack I can safely say that it is a total scam. There are red flags all through his website. And he has the sleaziest guarantee I've ever seen:
"If you buy these videos and this turns out not to be true, then I will refund your money back to you. But you of course must show how it isn't true, you cannot just say it isn't true without any logic or proof of any kind."
So you have to prove that his system doesn't work! That's a clear sign of a scam. Even if you give him proof he will just deny it and keep your money. Just read any thread in this forum for examples.
If you buy this system, you'll be lucky if you only lose the $400 he charges for it.

Scam obviously. I like the part where he states in his terms that he offers a 7 day CONDITIONAL refund if you can prove that his system does not work. So if he ( I assume its a he) does not agree with your logic, no refund will be forthcoming.
The site has SCAM written all over it.
Why pay for a so called system that obviously does not work? When you can find all the free information you need on this site to help turn you into a AP.

As for this one, here's a comment I found.
"9-9-2011: I've watched the videos a few times each now, I've enjoyed them immensely, I've never played a live hand, and I'm glad this does not involve the basic strategy card or counting. I have some fairly close casinos in Atlantic City and Pennsylvania. I'll let you know how I make out. Thanks, Phil, USA."
While all advantage play does not involve counting, I find it hard to believe that those methods are being touted on a site such as this, and that a guy who doesn't like card counting would like those methods.

I do eat quite a lot of pork but I source it very carefully and it is definitely pastured. I eat much less chicken because it is much more difficult to find organic, truly pastured sources of it and even those are sometimes fed grains.
I don't find chicken to be unhealthy. I find beef and lamb to be vastly superior because they are more nutritious, the fatty acid profile is much better and the protein is slightly higher quality, so I eat them far more. However, I'm not going to turn down chicken. I would advocate you choose leaner chicken - I generally go with the breast and roast or saute it to make up for its overall lack of flavor. It's hard to turn down buffalo wings though. So I don't
Pork is an entirely different story. I feel it is the least healthy of all meats. I'm not sure if it's due to how similar it is so human tissue, but the body seems to reject it to some degree unless it is cured or acid marinated for a long time. This is definitely worth a read.
How Does Pork Prepared in Various Ways Affect the Blood? - Weston A Price Foundation
Untreated pork, even the high quality pastured stuff, seems to coagulate the blood. As a result, I purchase very lean pork (loin) and marinate it overnight in acid (vinegar, citrus) or stick to bacon and ham. Fresh pork chops not so much, but I never cared for pork chops anyway.
Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.
I discovered I feel worse when I go mental over the small distinctions. Giving up an enjoyable unrefined food based on a single datum feels a little too similar to 1980s anti-beef/egg/butter nutritionism. In the absence of actual reaction symptoms I hang my hat on the "rotating variety" approach.
I'm fairly new to this but isn't it recommended in the primal blueprint to only eat red meat twice a week?
Organic, free range chicken is more expensive than the same in beef/lamb/pork and is harder to find but (after much net surfing) I found it is readily available direct from the farms and from most good organic grocery shops in Australia.
God, you all must be earning plenty in wages to be able to afford beef, lamb and seafood, or everything is cheap as chips in America?
I eat pork and chicken almost daily and my tendinitis is 100% gone. So much for too high an n-6 dose...Grass fed and pasture raised is always best, but it really wont kill you if you ate pork and chicken. So long as you have cut out seed oil and the food that contains them then you wont be at risk of systemic inflammation, unless of course you eat 5 chickens a day!
*goes back to gnawing at chicken wings*
EDIT: and organs are actually so nutritious that you don't even have to eat them every single day, which reduces your bill even more.

Sir.—Usowicz et al1 described three patients with fetal alcohol syndrome who had upper airway obstruction, presumably predisposed by midfacial (including maxillary) hypoplasia or micrognathia. Documentation of alveolar hypoventilation due to airway compromise by means of arterial blood gas analysis at rest or during sleep was not obtained. The clinical findings implicated choanal stenosis as the immediate cause of obstruction in one infant, obstructive lymphoid tissue in the second, and a laryngeal web in the third.
Readers of the above report should be reminded of another entity in which there is midfacial hypoplasia and which may be complicated by upper airway obstruction, namely, Down's syndrome. Rowland et al2 reported a case of cor pulmonale due to chronic upper airway obstruction in a 5-year-old child with Down's syndrome. Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy relieved the hypoventilation, with subsequent resolution of pulmonary hypertension. Levine and Simpser3 described four infants with Down's

The Monk Project, Jimmy Owens, trumpet, flugelhorn.
A frequent presence as a sideman in big bands of Thad Jones, Owens has had precious few dates as a leader. But here he gets that opportunity, fronting a sextet playing his arrangements of Thelonious Monk classics! Pianist Kenny Barron was an easy choice for this CD, as he had previously been pianist for Sphere, a group dedicated almost entirely to Monk's music. The other players include Wycliffe Gordon, trombone, Marcus Strickland, tenor sax, Howard Johnson, tuba and baritone sax, Kenny Davis, bass, and Winard Harper, drums. The arrangements are both very bluesy, and -- big surprise -- very Monkish. The presence of Johnson on tuba gives the recording depth and color appropriate for this menu of tunes. There are 10 in all, including such Monk masterpieces as "Well You Needn't," "Blue Monk," "Pannonica," "Reflections" and "Epistrophy." But there are also a few lesserknown Monk gems such as "Bright Mississippi" ("Sweet Georgia Brown" changes), "Let's Cool One," "Brilliant Corners" and the even more obscure, "Stuffy Turkey." Just for fun, the guys also include a very Monk-like approach to "It Don't Mean a Thing." In this straightahead, finely crafted setting, Monk's tunes are honored, respected and played with joyous abandon.

Inside Out, Bill Harris, alto and tenor saxophones.
Do you have enough jazz wrinkles to remember the consistently great recordings from labels like Blue Note and Prestige? One after another, they turned out timeless small group sessions that went a long way toward defining the very essence of jazz. Well, Portland native Bill Harris has, perhaps unknowingly, applied this wise concept on an absolutely terrific new CD. He gathered a group of Portland's premier players in the studio; put some fresh, invigorating Steve Hall arrangements on their stands; and in effect said, "You guys take it from here." What resulted was a flawless, classic blowing session featuring Portland giants Paul Mazzio, flugelhorn, George Mitchell, piano, Dave Captein, bass, and Dick Berk, drums -- in addition to Harris's super reed work. Everybody gets generous opportunity to strut their solo stuff, and always with superb taste. And Harris also "gets it right" in choosing ideal quintet vehicles that include "You're My Everything", "I Hear A Rhapsody," "We'll Be Together Again," "I'll Get By" and "A Sleepin' Bee." From the jazz book, there's "Pensativa," "Soultrane" and "Little Rootie Tootie." Two Harris originals complete a straightahead CD with no fluff, no pretense and no frosting. I loved every minute of it!

Standards, Bob Brookmeyer, trombone and leader, New Art Orchestra with Fay Claassen, vocals.
One of the jazz icons from "back in the day," Brookmeyer – who passed away in late December, 2011 -- was still making relevant music up to his last days. On this disc, Brookmeyer treads a path both new and old. New in that his polished orchestra has never done an album of revered standards. And old for the very same reason: great material with arrangements that are like sterling silver. But new once again in that Brookmeyer adds the voice of one of today's most natural and hip jazz singers, Fay Claassen. If you haven't heard of her, please trust me. She's a no-gimmicks jazz chanteuse, and she's spot-on-perfecto with this roaring big band. And how can you argue with a choice of tunes like "How Deep Is The Ocean," "Get Out Of Town," "Love For Sale," "I'm Beginning To See The Light," "Come Rain Or Come Shine," "Detour Ahead," "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and "Willow Weep For Me." It's rare to see records like this today. But when it happens, it something to be admired and celebrated.
Artist Share, 2011, 53:21.
Note: I learned of the passing of Bob Brookmeyer a matter of hours after writing this review. One of the most versatile, swinging trombonists in jazz history, we could always distinguish the Brookmeyer sound. His place in jazz history is secure. Thank you, Mr. Brookmeyer.
Goin' Home, Sam Pannunzio, piano.
This very musical outing is the initial release for a new label out of the Seattle area, Eastside Jazz. The leader on the date is Pannunzio, a pianist out of Colorado Springs. His trio also includes Mark Bullis, bass, and Lionel Kramer, drums. Sad to say, Bullis passed on shortly after this recording was made, so it is, of course, dedicated to his memory. All the tunes are Pannunzio's originals. Sometimes such an album, especially by a newer voice, can be a red flag. Not so here, as Pannunzio and the trio present nine examples of melodies that swing, make musical sense, show movement and grace, and, in a couple of cases, seem to have "cousinly" relationships to standards. Most importantly, Pannunzio is fluid and lyrical, showing a debt to Bill Evans, but with some real muscle here and there as well. I'd bet the mortgage that the guy knows the whole American Songbook, and on his next release, I'd like to hear him knock out some Mandel, Mercer and Monk! Until then, this is definitely an eye-opening debut.
Eastside Jazz, 2011, 51:35.
Rhythm On The River, Harry Allen, tenor saxophone.
If anyone had ever asked, I would have politely suggested that it would not be possible to come up with 13 songs on the theme of the word "river." "Love," "Moon," "Spring," sure, but "River?" Yet Allen came up with the necessary tunes, and pulled a bunch of 'em out of 1920's and '30s obscurity. And one the one he chose not to include may have been the most obvious of all, "Moon River." Allen teams up with Rossano Sportiello, piano, Joel Forbes, bass, and Chuck Riggs, drums, on a rhythmic, swinging set that opens with a 1924 opus, "Riverboat Shuffle." Other upbeat, familiar melodies include "Rhythm On The River," "Lazy River," "River Stay Away from My Door" and "Swanee River." But Allen and company find some dark horses along the way in "Blue River" (1927), "Weary River" (1929), "Ready For The River" (1928) and "Roll On, Mississippi, Roll On" (1931), among others. A very welcome guest, by the way, is Warren Vache and his glorious cornet on four of the 13 selections. The "winningest" tune of the set was Harry's solo on "Cry Me A River." If you've ever heard Ben Webster's breathy version, well, the highest compliment payable to Allen is simply that his "Cry Me A River" is in the same ballpark.

Duduka Da Fonseca Trio Plays Toninho Horta.
If you're even a semi-regular reader of my reviews, you're most likely aware that I'm not a flag-waving advocate of Latin jazz. But Brazilian music is, in my opinion, a completely different animal. And so here you have a trio led by a drummer, Da Fonseca, playing lyrical, lovely and sensible melodies by Brazilian composer Toninho Horta. I was most impressed, I must say, with the pianist on the session, an American named David Feldman. A product of New York's New School for Contemporary Music and Jazz, Feldman now makes his home in Rio de Janiero. I found him to be a player with a rare and quite astonishing touch. As accomplished as he is in this program of Horta's haunting original music, I'd love to hear him tackle of group of standard jazz tunes and a ballad or two. While all the music on the album is quite compelling, I found the song "Francisca" to be the award winner. It's a waltz so lovely it could have been a feature for Bill Evans. The trio is completed by bassist Guto Wirth, whose subtle and serene presence adds to the beauty of the session. "Pretty" is always worth major points in my world, and this is a very pretty album.
Zoho, 2011, 47:29.
Trio And Quartet, Russ Freeman, piano.
Here's a very polished reissue from the fascinating Fresh Sound label. It features one of the busiest,but still under the radar pianists of the glory years of West Coast jazz. Russ Freeman worked with such Southland luminaries as Shorty Rogers, Shelly Manne and Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars, among many others. On a generous 22 selections, Freeman is featured here in no less than five different ensembles. Two early fifties trios put him in the company of stalwarts such as bassist Joe Mondragon and drummer Shelly Manne. On a quartet date, he works with Manne, Monty Budwig and Stu Williamson. Finally, there are a couple of quintet dates which include reedman Bud Shank, bassist Carson Smith and the young drummer, Mel Lewis. The bill of fare nicely balances a handful of Russ's rhythmic originals with several standards of the day, including "Lullaby In Rhythm," "East Of The Sun," "At Last," "You Stepped Out of a Dream," "Don't Worry 'Bout Me," "Blues in the Night" and more. All of Russ's tunes combine swinging melody lines with a lyrical sensibility, but a couple of my favorites were Charlie Parker's "Steeplechase" and a Jerome Kern tune new to my ears called "Bojangles of Harlem." Russ Freeman was deservedly "all over the place" in 1950s Los Angeles jazz circles. This thoughtful collection will help maintain his important place in the West Coast jazz pantheon.
Fresh Sound, 2010, 79:23.
A Sea of Voices, Jamie Ousley, bass.
Give some credit to Ousley who decided to donate all of the proceeds from the sale of this recording to a non-profit project to benefit the environment. Music with that sort of theme, one would think, should have its own environmental connection, and this is entirely music with a "water" theme. Sure, it's been done before. Consider Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage," Kenny Barron's "Voyage," or Enrico Pieranunzi's "Seaward," the most beautiful of them all. Ousley's basic trio includes Joe Davidian, piano, and Austin McMahon, drums. The only standard in the mix is Irving Berlin's classic, "How Deep Is the Ocean." Other than that, the trio finds beauty and serenity in titles that include "Hymn Of The Tides," "Rocky Top," "Loving Beauty" and a pristine vocal by Nanami Morikawa on the traditional tune, "Shenandoah." Special kudos to Davidian, whose elegant piano impressed throughout. This is very pretty, lyrical music, and for the good cause it serves, I hope it sells a lot of copies.
Tie Records, 2012, 61:48.
The Complete 1969 Pescara Festival, Bill Evans, piano.
Please don't think of this as a review. This CD was issued back in 2004, and escaped my attention until now. It's just that there are a lot of Evans freaks who are going to want to know about this exceptional live concert that was well-recorded in Italy. My guess is that it's likely still available. It's classic Bill Evans trio material, with Eddie Gomez and Marty Morrell on 11 evergreens of the period. Lone Hill Jazz is a boutique reissue label that has picked up on a lot of rare and juicy jazz in the last decade. I just wanted the Evans crowd to be aware of it. Happy hunting!
Lone Hill Jazz; LHJ-10156; 2004; 62:00.
The 11th Gate, Dennis Rollins, trombone.
The accompanying notes to this recording tell us that Rollins is a celebrated player in the United Kingdom. I'd love to hear him in a setting other than this one. Here, he's a very hip trombonist playing in an organ-funk trio. And I've heard enough of these groups to last a couple of lifetimes. The CD notes tell us of "cinematic washes of cymbals spilling over organ grooves, to choral gospel riffs of nature's inherent vibrational divinity." Oh, thank goodness, it's all clear now.
Motema, 2011, 47:14.
Turn Signal, Mike Wofford, piano and Holly Hoffman, flute.
Husband and wife Mike and Holly give us their first quintet CD, and it contains many high-wire moments. Joining them is the sensational Terrell Stafford, a gifted master of trumpet and flugelhorn. Rob Thorsen, bass, and Richard Sellers, drums, round out the quintet on a selection of original compositions and one modern standard, "Pure Imagination." Wofford has enjoyed a lengthy career as a top-tier pianist, and Hoffman's flute is often something to behold.
Capri, 2011, 55:18.
Mystic Nights, Pat Battstone, piano, Richard Poole, vibes.
This is a duo of original music. The phrase "not quite" might apply in several respects. It's not quite New Age music because it isn't seamless, meandering nothingness. It's not quite jazz in that it doesn't swing; and it's not quite classical because, well, just because. If anything, it's mostly moody music with no recognizable melody lines. It might fit for a soundtrack to an indie film or a sleep aid if you don't like to take pills.
Self-Produced, 2011, 63:47.
Ghost in the Corner, John Stowell, Christopher Woitach.
The prolific Stowell is out with another collaboration, giving the guitarist another outlet for his impressive talents. This one is with guitarist Christopher Woitach, who fits Stowell's style well. The opener, "When Jasper Grows Up," features Woitach on banjo, the metallic strings twanging while Stowell's guitar flows easily. It's an unfamiliar contrast, but offers a welcome and homey mix of tonalities. When two guitars are in play, as on the title track, there is still contrast, but it's less pronounced than with the banjo, and it gives both the ability to solo. We hear Woitach's mellow electric guitar sound against Stowell's clean strumming, the two taking turns at the forefront but in full complement. When Woitach employs the synth-guitar, it adds a forlorn echo, as on "Greta and Lucy," a somewhat atonal piece with interweaving lines and random thoughts. That Stowell plays fretless guitar adds to the dizzying sound of the tune. One nice thing about this album is that it is unconventional, yet quite engaging. Its quietude is tempered by its invention, making for an album both conventional and unconventional jazz fans can enjoy.
2011, Teal Creek, 50 minutes.
Whirlpool, Ran Blake & Dominique Eade.
This isn't your typical piano and vocal duo, mostly because Blake isn't your conventional pianist. His use of chordal reinterpretations makes the melody almost secondary here. The melodies of classics that include "My Foolish Heart" and "Dearly Beloved," get an almost avant-garde treatment. But it's stranger than that, since Eade's vocals are both beautiful and melodic. Blake jumps in and out of what might be termed "regular" chord progressions, setting up a feeling that is both disturbing and slightly exciting. It's a combination of classical, jazz, and chamber music with the barriers pulled down. Quincy Jones's "The Pawnbroker" is almost unrecognizable as a free-form ballad, but it still holds true to its form. This may not be the most accessible of all the piano-vocal discs, but it is different.
2011, Jazz Project, 45 minutes.
Slipstream, Noah Haidu.
Pianist Haidu isn't a household name, but this disc, recorded with some recognizable talent, is a step in becoming one. It starts on a positive note, with a modern Latin groover, "Soulstep," featuring cascading chords and fine solos by trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, Haidu and saxophonist Jon Irabagon. Haidu's compositions are rooted in jazz traditions but have all the marks of modernity. Elements of hard bop, Latin jazz, fusion and avant-garde all come together cohesively, and even when the music is at its most forward, there is a melodic undercurrent. And the musicianship keeps the tunes moving, especially through drumming by both Willie Jones III and John Davis, and solid bass playing by Chris Haney. The chords are all layered and quite modern, and it's certainly not simple music. Still, it's not so dense as to be a turnoff. Haidu is a smart writer, and his cohesion of harmony is compelling.
2011, Posi-Tone Records, 48 minutes.
Turn Signal, Mike Wofford/Holly Hofmann Quintet.
One of the best and prolific couples in jazz enlists the help of trumpeter Terell Stafford for this quintet album, rounded out by bassist Rob Thorsen and drummer Richard Sellers. It's a collection of tunes paying homage to those who have influenced them in some way. The opener, Wofford's "The Dipper," is dedicated to Horace Silver, and the creeping groover builds with a modern interpretation of how Silver might approach jazz now. Wofford expands the chordal range, and Stafford and Hofmann take solos that elevate the plodding tempo. Hofmann's alto flute is a deep highlight to Vince Mendoza's pretty "Esperanca," while Stafford does a nice mellow turn on the lightly funky "Karita" by Bobby Watson. Perhaps the most interesting tune on the album is Dick Twardzik's "The Girl From Greenland," which has a constantly moving set of changes and which Wofford infuses with a bit of Debussy. Hofmann's "M-Line" is a sprite bopper with a wicked flute solo. I want more.
2012, Capri Records, 54 minutes.
Changing Seasons, Phil Dwyer Orchestra.
Having a four-movement orchestral piece named after the seasons will always draw comparisons to Vivaldi, and that's certainly an influence here. But saxophonist, composer and conductor Dwyer is as much moved by jazz in this ambitious work, and one can hear modern jazz chords being played by the strings and horns as well as the rhythm section. "Spring" alone changes colors many times through its nine-minute length, even referencing Freddie Hubbard's "Up Jumped Spring" at one point. The unifying voice is violinist Mark Fewer, who is adept at jumping between genres. Dwyer jumps in with a burning solo on the "Summer" movement, backed by a wall of strings and horns. "Autumn" is heavily string focused, though not as melancholy as one might expect from the season of change. Fewer ignites on "Winter" and is followed by a tremendous, swinging solo from Ingrid Jensen. The composition is big and bold, but thankfully never over-orchestrated nor over the top. Dwyer should be commended for keeping it focused and, well … seasonal.
2011, ALMA Records, 35 minutes.
Route de Freres, Andrew Cyrille & Haitian Fascination.
Drummer Cyrille, born over 70 years ago to Haitian parents in Brooklyn, returns to his Haitian roots, blending modern and avant-garde jazz with his island heritage. Utilizing Haitian drum master Frisner Augustin, the disc is full of the exotic, multi-cultural music that made Haiti a Caribbean melting pot -- African traditions, French and western influences, and VooDoo. The opener, "Marinet," a Haitian folk song, features quick polyrhythms and a vibrant vocal delivery, full of laughs and yelps by Augustin. The rhythms are strong, but the guitar from Haitian native Alix Pascal also provides melody and rhythm. Combined with bassist Lisle Atkinson and baritone saxophonist Hamiet Bluiett, this group blends jazz with Haitian music so adeptly you'll find yourself immersed in it. Sure, Bluiett takes the melodies outside sometimes, but he also plays gorgeously at others, as on the slow "Hope Springs Eternal." The title track draws together both of Cyrille's worlds, and his understated drumming lets the tunes develop organically. It's a fine example of world jazz that doesn't feel forced.
2011, TUM Records, 66 minutes.
I Loved You Once, Emmett Wheatfall.
In all honesty, I'm not usually a fan of poetry read to jazz. It either comes off as hackneyed beat poetry or New Age-y treacle. But this disc by Portland poet Wheatfall has captured my attention. His deep voice is expressive and powerful, and his delivery is just plain cool. Using pianist Ramsey Embick as a backdrop for his phrasing, Wheatfall recites in styles ranging from walking swing ("The Wild Woods") to gospel-ish preaching ("I Understand You") to Latin ballads. All the while, his earnest delivery keeps things interesting and his words engaging. Embick is a perfect choice, due to his versatility and expert playing. Saxophonist Noah Peterson provides the backing on a couple of tunes, adding an urban honk to Wheatfall's punchy poetry. The one that goes nearly over the sappy line is "I Loved You Once," with both Embick and Peterson playing soft and pretty behind a love poem. Luckily, Wheatfall's words are smart enough to keep metaphors above the basal love meanings. I wish they had included the poetry in the sparse liner notes, but for fans of poetry and jazz, this is one of the better combos I've heard.
2011, Peterson Entertainment, 18 minutes.
Humble Origins, Wellstone Conspiracy.
This (mostly) Seattle group lives in the modern jazz world, making original music that is somewhere between straight ahead and chamber jazz. Soprano saxophonist Brent Jensen, pianist Bill Anschell, bassist Jeff Johnson and drummer John Bishop are all veteran musicians, and the interplay is tight, letting the group move as a quartet, and allowing the individual members chances to solo within the arrangements. The title track is a journey that changes chords rapidly and plays with color. Jensen's soprano sax is richly-toned and a welcome melodic voice. His tribute to Lee Konitz, "All of Lee," is a minor key swinger that colors slightly outside the lines, just like Konitz would, and Anschell's chords are altered in the right fashion. Johnson is fairly understated on this refined album, but he gets a few chances to show his nimble fingers, as on his own "Peregrine." They cover the Beatles, but their take on "Fixing a Hole" is completely original in its lushness.
2011, Origin Records, 60 minutes.
Descendants, Noah Kaplan Quartet.
The fact that saxophonist Kaplan has worked with the Boston Microtonal Society should tell you a thing or two about his style. The young player is bold yet meditative, inventive yet reverent. He deals with the tones between tones, bending and shaping. It's as though his sax is rubber and the concept of western tonality unimportant. With guitarist Joe Morris, bassist Giacomo Merega and drummer Jason Nazary, the Descendents even toy with the usual notion of what we think of as free jazz. This is free without boundaries, improvisational to the point of complete exploration. There is little in the way of melody to grasp onto, but the interplay between these young artists is intense, and for those who like their jazz outside any box, this is a huge step in that direction.
2011, Hat Hut Records, 48:33.
Rhythm on the River, Harry Allen.
Saxophonist Allen has long been a favorite of tenor fans. His traditional style, flawless playing and penchant for some of the most gorgeous ballads in jazz is well documented. Here, Allen is in top form. He plays from an old catalog, with some favorites and lesser-known numbers. His gorgeous take on "Cry Me a River" should be cemented in the canon of best ballad performances of all time. His tone is lush and his playing quiet yet emotive. Genius. The rest of the tracks harken back to the beginnings of popular jazz, and include gentle swingers like the title track, a couple of Hoagy Carmichael tunes, including the bopping "Riverboat Shuffle," that features the fantastic Warren Vache on cornet. Vache also appears on Carmichael's "Lazy River" and a lovely version of Stephen Foster's "Old Folks at Home." The river theme runs throughout, which gives Allen plenty of room to get slinky with his tenor, as on Gus Kahn's "Ready for the River," and to show off his tone on several ballads. Allen is acked by pianist Rossano Sportiello, bassist Joel Forbes and drummer Chuck Riggs; fans of melodic, straight ahead jazz will be more than pleased.

It also was the biggest crowd ever at the Youngstown arena.
More than 7,000 people filled the venue for the knighted Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's encore, a followup to his 2010 appearance.
Many in the crowd saw John's first Covelli show, but some who were shut out in 2010 had better luck this time.
Ken and Bonnie Wellendorf couldn't get tickets for the 2010 show, which sold out in a half hour, and they also missed out on tickets for an Erie, Pa., show.
"Third time was the charm," Ken said, and the couple was in their seats waiting more than an hour before the 8 p.m. start.
Lisa Starcher of Fowler and her friends spent a few minutes waiting in line at the souvenir stand, which was selling everything from T-shirts and hoodies to an Elton John bobblehead (on a yellow brick road base).
But that was nothing compared to what she did to make sure she got tickets. Starcher camped outside the Covelli Centre box office for 13 hours in the cold to score tickets for her family and friends.
"That was for the fun of it," she said. "We did it old school. How do you make memories? By standing in line instead of waiting for tickets online."
Joe and Colleen Sekula of Howland bought tickets to celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary today.
"To watch the legend in front of us, in person, it doesn't get better than that," said Colleen, who has been blasting John's music at home every day to get ready for the concert.
John took the stage right at 8 p.m. Saturday wearing an untucked royal blue shirt with a black suit that had a morning-coat-length jacket. The album cover for John's 1971 release "Madmen Across the Water" was emblazoned on the back of the jacket in rhinestones, but his 1973 double album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" might have been a more appropriate choice.
A reissue of the album is due in March in various configurations, including discs with rarities and other stars (Fall Out Boy, Zac Brown Band, Hunter Hayes) covering its music. John showcased it heavily Saturday, playing seven tracks from it in the first 20 songs, both the classic rock standards ("Bennie and the Jets," "Candle in the Wind," the title track) and the deep cuts ("Grey Seal," "I've Seen That Movie Too").
The 2010 show probably featured a more "greatest hits" set list, but John played plenty of old favorites "Levon," "Tiny Dancer," "Philadelphia Freedom," "Rocket Man," "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues," "Someone Saved My Life Tonight."
And this tour had a more visually stunning stage. John performed under a massive chandelier with teardrop-shaped orbs that reflected that reflected whatever color lights were shined on it. And John and his five-piece backing band performed on a round stage with one end folded up at the 45-degree angle. The part of the stage doubled as a screen that showed different images, like flickering flags on "Philadelphia Freedom" and animated graphics featuring milestones from his career during "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."
John proved his reputation as a showman is well deserved. He mugged for the crowd and occasionally stuck out his tongue while never missing a note on the piano. And he basked in the adulation after each song, occasionally cajoling the audience to clap louder or longer (it wasn't necessary).
John let the band sing the high "Ro-ooo-oad" and finessed a few other high notes, but his voice was remarkably strong throughout.
John told the crowd early on, "It's our first show of 2014. It's great to start off here."
7,000+ people couldn't have agreed more.

If Barbie was real, she would be 5'9" tall, have a 39" bust, an 18" waist, 33" hips and a size 3 shoe. Now, I stand at 5'9" and have been accused of having freakishly small feet at size 7 1/2. Barbie wouldn't be able to stand up!
I think a few women around the world have actually tried to get all the surgeries required to look like Barbie. They all look high-as-a-kite in pictures, but that's a whole other thread. As a person who has had two necessary surgeries, I can't imagine why people would put their bodies through elective surgery. I would love a tummy-tuck as much as the next girl, but there is no way I am going to put my adrenals through that again.

Autistic teen sues Irvine school district
An autistic teenager who was dragged from class and handcuffed has sued the Irvine Unified School District.
The Orange County Register says the federal suit claims excessive force was used on Adam Stone.
In April, a teacher ordered the 18-year-old to leave an Irvine High School class for talking too loudly.
The suit says a campus guard and two other men dragged the boy out and forced him to the ground. He was detained by Irvine police, handcuffed and put in a patrol car where he kicked out the window.
The suit says the boy's emotional state escalated because the guard and police weren't told he was autistic and didn't follow a previous plan to deal with his behavior.
District spokesman Ian Hanigan declined to comment on the suit.

Black leaders blast Gov. Scott
Erick Johnson | 4/10/2014, 9 a.m.
While hundreds of thousands Haitians were stripped of their citizenship and ordered out of the Dominican Republic, Florida Gov. Rick Scott stood silent, but he has recently attended numerous rallies protesting the Venezuelan government crackdown on protesters petitioning the White House to impose sanctions against President Nicolás Maduro.
Scott traveled thousands of miles around the world and the state with wealthy lobbyists, while Black leaders waited for the governor to visit to their communities. And then last week, Scott called Obama a "weak leader" after accusing him of taking a soft stance on Venezuela.
Then there are heated issues concerning the Stand Your Ground law, Medicaid expansion, and the list keeps growing.
Those are among another concern fueling tensions between Scott and Black and Haitian leaders who are blasting the governor for remaining silent on key issues concerning civil rights, healthcare, jobs and other issues affecting their communities. Their frustrations have grown over the past several weeks as Scott became more accessible to and vocal with South Florida Venezuelans, many whom are registered voters who could help his re-election campaign for a win and second term in November. But Blacks leaders are determined to put a stop to Scott's political ambitions.
"He doesn't stand up to injustice, economic disparities and the plight of Haitians. This man has not stood up for the Black community at all," said Henry Crespo Sr., president of the Florida Black Caucus. "The Black community should be outraged."
It's an election year and Scott has been busy these days trying to improve his image with voters who, according to polls, favor his likely Democratic opponent, former Republican governor Charlie Crist. In 2012 Crist switched his political party to Democrat after his infamous hug with President Barack Obama.
According to a recent St. Leo University poll, Crist leads Scott by a margin of 43 percent to 39 percent among likely voters. The latest figures point to a possible jump in approval for the embattled Scott, who has consistently trailed Crist by larger margins in most polls.
Since February, Scott has attended demonstrations held by the large Venezuelan population in South Florida which is protesting food shortages, high crime and inflation in their native country. In recent months, Scott has joined Florida Senator Marco Rubio and other congressmen at demonstrations in Doral and all over South Florida in calling for sanctions against Venezuela for its harsh treatment of protesters.
Black leaders say Scott is supporting the Venezuelan community to boost his voter appeal. The governor has not spoken out or addressed any other issues concerning Venezuela prior to the controversy.
The size of the Venezuelan community in South Florida has more than doubled between 2000 and 2012, to more than 117,000 residents, according to the U.S. Census, which estimates there are about 250,000 nationally. More than three-quarters of Florida's Venezuelans live in Miami-Dade and Broward.
Not counting those under 18, Florida's population of those from Venezuela could translate into 30,000 to 50,000 voters or eligible voters, depending on how the percentages are figured.

The Bakersfield Condors want your underwear. Your clean, never-worn underwear.
The ECHL team is holding Undie Sunday on April 13. The plan is for fans in attendance to throw their underwear — their clean, never-worn underwear — on the ice after the Condors' first goal. (h/t @ScottyWazz)
Again — underwear. Bras, boxers, briefs, 'long johns,' diapers, socks, undershirts. Clean. Never worn. In packaging. Clean. CLEAN.
"In talking with local non-profits, it is quite clear that there is a need of (clean, never worn) undergarments for the economically challenged," Condors president Matthew Riley said in a team release. "We thought this would be a fun way to bring attention to that fact, and hopefully raise some significant donations. Who doesn't like to throw (clean, never worn) things on the ice? Teddy Bear Toss is obviously a great tradition, so why not start another one?"

Wrangell is one of the oldest towns in Alaska, established when Russians began a fur trade with the Tlingit in 1811. Naturalist John Muir discovered Wrangell in 1879. He was awed by the glaciers along the Stikine River, calling the river region "a Yosemite a hundred miles long."
Hike half-mile Mount Dewey Trail from downtown to the hilltop over Wrangell to look out at the river and sea. Go kayaking in the summertime indigo blue ocean, where humpback whales surface and dive - they might splash you with seawater. Explore Anan Bear and Wildlife Observatory 30 miles southeast of Wrangell, where eagles, seals, and bears feed at one of the largest salmon runs in Alaska.
Thousand year old rock carvings of birds, whales, and faces tell stories of the Tlingit at Petroglyph Beach. Venture to the restored home of Tlingit Chief Shakes, filled with carvings and wooden whale oil lamps. His great-great-granddaughter shares old family stories, as she leads you through the house. Start your day with a good breakfast at Diamond C Restaurant on Front Street.

Thermogenex - Fuel the Burn He is a big fan of drinking ice water, with ice cubes, all day long.
I dont like the idea of drinking ice cold water all day, every day, as I believe it can depleat the spleen of energy. It's one of the beliefs of Chinese medicine.
However, I have just bought myself a large plastic storage container. That seems large enough to fit my torso in. My arms and legs will be hanging out, but I can at least lie in it a bit and put ice on my chest. Nuts? Yes! But for those of us with no bath tub and a "cool" shower at best... It might just work!
If you are genetically normative, or if your parents and grand parents were, if your mom skipped the formula class and gave you tit then you may not need a word he says.
These are the facts-
- Most of us don't experience cold, especially not repeated, chronic cold (whatever that is)
- Short, isolated cold exposures cause activity in Brown Adipose tissue (BAT)
- Chronic cold exposure causes BAT to grow and can change WAT to BAT (known as BRITE)
- BAT is metabolically active, using energy at a high caloric rate, even when you are not cold
- Having a large BAT store will cause you to be a calorie burning machine, normalizes blood glucose, insulin resistance, leptin resistance, and increases human growth hormone and testosterone.
- Since soaking your feet in 45 degree water for 5 minutes activates BAT, as seen on PET scan studies, it makes me believe that cold therapy can be as simple as a cold daily shower, daily ice packs anywhere on the body for as long as you like, or any other method that increases your exposure to cold.
- Not doing this cold exposure is perfectly fine, sort of like I would never presume to tell someone they HAVE to exercise or eat a certain way, but if you want to try something--cold is fairly easy and has several proven, well-studied benefits.

Product Info
Game based on the legendary Disney movie of the same name that was developed by Virgin Interactive and published by Sega. The movie was made famous for it's characters, and the game for its breathtaking graphics, which still look amazing today. There are many enemies and they can be taken down with one of two weapons. You can use a sword or apples to thwart your foes. The sword is the more powerful of the two but it has a limited range of attack, while the apples have less power but more range than the sword. Be careful though, your apple supply is limited, so you'll need to use them wisely. This adds an element of strategy to the game. You have to decide whether or not to use the more powerful weapon and risk injury, or use a lesser weapon and take longer to eliminate your foes. There aren't all that many bosses to fight, which is a bit odd for this type of game, but it fits the movie better. There is only one true antagonist in the movie, Jafar, and he's the only real boss in the game.

Stanton, who transferred from Clemson to Lipscomb last summer and from Lipscomb to Tennessee last January, has left the Vol hoops program four months after joining it. InsideTennessee confirmed the departure through a high-placed source in the UT athletics department.
A native Tennessean, Stanton starred for former Vol Johnny Darden at Springfield High School. Playing point guard at 5-feet-10 and 175 pounds, he averaged 19.1 points and 7.5 assists as a junior, then 23.7 points and 3.8 assists as a senior. He was rated the No. 7 prospect in the state following the 2009-10 season.
Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl recruited Stanton for a while, then cooled on him when the Vols got commitments from heralded point-guard prospects Josh Selby and Aaron Craft. Both ultimately reneged but by then Stanton had cast his lot with Clemson. Stuck behind some veteran guards, he averaged 10.7 minutes and 2.4 points per game as a Tiger freshman in 2010-11. He shot a frigid 21.1 percent (8 of 38) from 3-point range.
"I'm a lot better shooter than that," Stanton told InsideTennessee last month. "It was tough playing behind DeAndre Young, who is a great point guard and was a senior at Clemson this year, and Demontez Stitt, who was a senior shooting guard last year (2010-11).
"It was tough to get high-percentage shots when you go in two or three minutes just to give those guys a rest. You don't get that many opportunities to shoot the ball. My shot is a lot better than what the stats show."
Wanting to attend school closer to home, Stanton transferred from Clemson to Lipscomb during the summer. After sitting out a semester at the Nashville-based school, however, he decided to pursue a life-long dream and enroll at Tennessee. Supposedly, paying his own way proved to be more of a financial burden than he expected.
Trae Golden started 33 of 34 games at point guard for the 2011-12 Vols and did a generally solid job. He led the team in scoring (13.6 points per game) and assists (4.5 per game), while ranking second in steals (27).
Finding a backup for Golden proved to be a season-long adventure, however. Freshman Wes Washpun proved turnover prone and transferred to Northern Iowa shortly after the 2011-12 season ended. Wings Cameron Tatum, Josh Richardson, Skylar McBee and Jordan McRae served as occasional fill-ins.
Having played point guard all his life, Stanton appeared likely to back up Golden at the position once he completed his transfer year and became eligible for the Vols in January of 2013. Based on comments he made to InsideTennessee, he felt good about his chances.
"The key is my conditioning," he said. "My conditioning is not where I want it to be. It hasn't been where I want it to be for a year and a half now. I just want to get in great shape, stay in great shape and never get out of it."
With Stanton gone, spring signee Armani Moore may be the leading contender for the No. 2 point guard job in 2012-13. Moore is a 6-foot-5 combo guard who reportedly has enough ballhandling skills to play some point.
