The Akron Series in Poetry was founded to bring to the public writers who speak in original and compelling voices. Each year, The University of Akron Press offers the Akron Poetry Prize, a competition open to all poets writing in English. The winning poet receives $1,500 and publication of his or her book. The final selection will be made by a nationally prominent poet. The final judge for 2014 is Maxine Chernoff. Other manuscripts may also be considered for publication in the series.
1. Manuscripts must be typed and consecutively numbered, for a total length of at least 48 pages, and no longer than 90 pages. Clear photocopies are acceptable. Please, do not send manuscripts bound or enclosed in covers. Individual poems may have appeared in chapbooks or literary magazines, but we are unable to consider collections that have been previously published as a full-length volume. Translations are not eligible.
2. Manuscripts must include a cover page (with author's name, address, phone number, and manuscript title), a title page (with no biographical information), and an acknowledgements page listing poems previously published in periodicals (if applicable). Please do not submit manuscripts that have the author's name on each page. Manuscripts go to the final judge blind.
3. Manuscripts must be postmarked between April 15 and June 15 of each year. Simultaneous submissions are permitted, but The University of Akron Press must be notified immediately if the manuscript is accepted elsewhere.
4. An entry fee of $25 is required for each manuscript submission. Make check or money order payable to The University of Akron Press. The canceled check will serve as notification of receipt.
5. Contest results will be posted on our website www.uakron.edu/uapress/poetryprizewinner by September 30. No manuscripts can be returned.
6. Books accepted for the Akron Series in Poetry must exhibit three essential qualities: mastery of language, maturity of feeling, and complexity of thought. The University of Akron Press is committed to publishing poetry that, as Robert Frost said, "begins in delight and ends in wisdom." Intimate friends, relatives, current and former students of the final judge (students in an academic, degree-conferring program or its equivalent) and current faculty, staff, students, and alumni of the University of Akron or the Northeast Ohio MFA Program (NEOMFA) are not eligible to enter the Akron Poetry Prize competition.

Who wants an open source curriculum based Education?
Inspired by Clay Shirky's recent open source talk, I thought about having an educational curriculum that is open sourced to students. Wouldn't it be exciting if students are taught to take ownership of their own learning journey. No more vague and unhelpful teacher feedback, instead students come into educational institutions knowing that their perspective counts and that they are in charge of their learning. Conceptual.understanding at their pace and language.

Sep 26 2012: I don't think school children would be able to gather, synthesize, and apply this expert information effectively.
It is something like why it is not efficient or effective to have people- and most particularly children- read the medical literature and self-prescribe treatments and medications.
Sep 26 2012: I never actually took out the teachers from the equation but rather, I think in this context, we will need more teachers than ever before. It is just the pedagogy that changes. Imagine GitHub and Khan academy applied together, teachers would of course need new expertise, but the point is, it is suppose to make their teaching more effective and efficient. I keep saying IB, but I hope that everyone is familiar to with it, because what I am proposing is pretty much extreme IB. It is transdisciplinary in real time with the classroom more like a mission control room where expert teachers are available to give proper amount of scaffolding and prompts.
That is the most amazing thing about contextualised and inquiry based learning. The teacher's job is to understand what is really meant to be learn, how it can be conceptually taught and what truly are the success criteria. No more recycling of curriculums, personalized learning at its best, at the same time, best of all, the learning experience is more social than ever.
Sep 26 2012: I am certainly familiar with IB. But more broadly speaking than any single curriculum, contextualized, inquiry-based learning involving small group work and discourse is well understood to be best practice in teaching and the most popular pedagogy at this point in lower education in the United States. This has been true for the last decade certainly.
And most classrooms, I believe, even in the least financially supported districts, make extensive use of the internet as a resource for freely available content.
Is this not also true in Hong Kong?
Sep 26 2012: Thanks for your reply. IB is still in its infant stage in Hong Kong. I consider myself fortunate to work in one of the few institutions that cater to IB principles. Everyday, more and more educational tools or made available via the net, but institutions are slow to respond. It is of course dependent on the teacher's teaching philosophy and that of the school. That is why Github was so appealing to me for its promise of cooperation without collaboration. Current bureaucratic structures require to many conditions to be right that are really not essential for cooperation. It will be many times more chaotic than what we have now, more work, more jobs perhaps, but definitely more representative of reality.
My proposition is to source free the curriculum instead. The one that truly matters, because it will be what the lesson plans are based on.
Sep 29 2012: First, let me tell you about my learning history of something which might be called a prehistorical open source education. I was born in the 1920s. I had to quit school after the 7th grade and went to work as an apprentice in a paper mill. Then I learned to be a bookkeeper in the main office. During that period I self-studied many topics, first the English language, and then topics such as physics and chemistry and mathematics.Later on I was allow to be a technician in the paper manufacturing plant. In 1949, I moved to another city and had to find another job as an accountant in an insurance company. Later on I decided to come to the U. S. for formal education. However, I had to pass a qualifying exam and an exam for the equivalency of a bachelors degree in Accounting. I came to the U. S. and obtained admission as a special student in the business school. By next year I was admitted to the graduate school and worked out a Master of Arts degree in mathematical Statistics. After 3 more years I got a PhD in Public Health. While I was in the School of Public Health, I was invited as a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics for 20 years.
So even though I am not a child anymore, I am able to understand the therapeutic value of most common drugs and their adverse effect as well, without a teacher guidance.
What I am trying to say is that if a person has a strong motivation of leaning everything he is interested and has the maturity of knowing what he wants, he could succeed in self learning, even in multiple topics. Now that was done even when there wasn't any internet, or even television available. As most of you probably know, that the guidance in learning in graduate schools is not like the hand-holding style of a elementary or high school teacher. How did I learn some quite advanced physics, etc. by myself? That's because I was in a city where used college books are available. With internet, self learning is quite easy
Sep 29 2012: I agree and am entirely enthusiastic, Bart, about continuing education for adults. I have spent my entire adult life engaged in it, either through institutions or self-study. I am younger than you are, but books have always been my most serious source of in-depth education in adulthood.

The Buick LaCrosse was redesigned for the 2010 model year. Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by General Motors as part of frontal crash test verification.
Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Dummy movement was well controlled. The driver side curtain airbag deployed during the crash. After the dummy moved forward into the frontal airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.
How this test is conducted
In the test, the strength of the roof is determined by pushing a metal plate against one side of it at a slow but constant speed. The force applied relative to the vehicle's weight is known as the strength-to-weight ratio. This graph shows how the ratio varied as the test of this vehicle progressed. The peak strength-to-weight ratio recorded at any time before the roof is crushed 5 inches is the key measurement of roof strength.
A good rating requires a strength-to-weight ratio of at least 4. In other words, the roof must withstand a force of at least 4 times the vehicle's weight before the plate crushes the roof by 5 inches. For an acceptable rating, the minimum required strength-to-weight ratio is 3.25. For a marginal rating, it is 2.5. Anything lower than that is poor.

What an opportunity and what a day! I have been at the first day of the International Reach for Recovery's Breast Cancer Support Conference all day. There are, I am guessing, about 450 people here, mostly women, representing 56 countries. Looking around, I suspect that most of them are not from highly resourced first world countries, and the chance to talk with them becomes even more valuable. Since today was the opening, many wore traditional dress--often in pink (for better or worse, you know how I feel about that, but it is harder to be critical of a group from Malaysia in beautiful pink batik traditional dress or women with pink head scarves than it is to be very critical of a company trying to sell pink toilet paper). As we would all expect, women are delighted to reach out to each other, to share their stories, and we have much in common.
One interesting presentation was about a successful breast cancer screening program in Sudan. The NGO trained a number of community volunteers over an intensive five day course. They learned to do physical breast exams and how to refer women with possible problems to medical care. They found three times the numbers of early breast cancers than had been reported in their country previously, and most of those women have done well. The core problem in much of Africa and other under-resourced countries is that most women do not come to care until they already have advanced cancers. It apparently is crazy to think about mammographic screening, let alone ultrasounds or MRIs. Matter of fact, a slide was shown of two shiny new mobile mammograohy vans (those buses that we have all seen) that were donated to Uganda by Partners Health Care in Boston (admit that I breathed a big sigh of relief that it had not been BIDMC money). The vans are sitting in a dusty lot, slowly falling apart. They are totally useless to the area--not only do they not have technicians who can operate the machines or anyone who would know how to repair them, but the vans won't work on the poor roads--if there even are roads in some rural areas. This seemed an excellent and sad example of Western arrogance and ignorance as we assume we know what people need. If you are interested in reading more about the Sudan project, the reference is: Abvidris, D O et al, www.thelancet.com/oncology 2/13. I look forward to reading it.
I gave a talk about BIDMC's system of Patient/Family Advisory Boards and Groups. I had been asked to speak about working with patients and families, and, knowing how incredibly diverse the audience would be, I was hard pressed to think of something that might be universally useful. As much as anything could have been, I think this worked. A group set up at a small facility in Egypt is clearly going to be quite different than ours, but everyone can do a needs assessment and develop a program that fits their setting.
Tomorrow I am giving the opening keynote talk and another workshop, so it is time to go polish them both.

This can elevate the coefficient of attractiveness of any female.
It's just like the female form vs. the male form: one is quite nice in the birthday suit, but the other is abhorrent no matter the physical nature. Abhorrent!
There are any number of directions I can go with this, but I'll choose to remain tasteful.

Seven Die On Kentucky Roadways During New Year's Holiday Period
State ends 2007 with fewer highway fatalities than 2006
Date of News Release: 01/02/2008
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that seven people died in six separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways during the News Year's holiday period from 6:00 p.m. Friday, Dec. 28, 2007, through 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2008. This is one less fatality than during the 2006-2007 New Year's holiday period when eight people lost their lives in six crashes.
Preliminary data* indicates alcohol was a suspected factor in one of the six crashes. Six of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and none of the victims were wearing seat belts. One of the fatalities was a pedestrian.
One double fatality crash occurred in Ohio County. Single fatality crashes occurred in Christian, Clark, Clinton, Jefferson, and McCracken counties.
Preliminary statistics* indicate that a total of 852 people lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2007. Of the 689 motor vehicle fatalities, 388 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 93 motorcycle fatalities, 53 were not wearing helmets. Of the 24 ATV fatalities, 20 were not wearing helmets. There were 44 pedestrian fatalities and two bicycle fatalities. There were 201 fatalities as a result of alcohol-related crashes.
"There were 61* fewer highway fatalities in Kentucky during 2007 than in 2006, when a total of 913 people lost their lives in traffic crashes," notes Kentucky State Police Commissioner Rodney Brewer. "This 6.68 percent decrease is encouraging, but we must strive to do even better. Every decrease means lives saved and suffering avoided."
Brewer attributes a significant part of the highway fatality decrease to the passage of primary seatbelt legislation in 2006. This bill gave law enforcement officers authority to stop and cite motorists not using seat belts and imposed fines as well.
"Enforcement of the law started in January of 2007," explains Brewer. "This enforcement, combined with publicity, education and public cooperation, helped to raise seat belt usage in the state from 67.2 percent in 2006 to 71.8 percent in 2007."
"By using seat belts, lowering speeds, avoiding the use of alcohol and drugs while operating a motor vehicle and wearing a helmet while operating a motorcycle or ATV, we can further reduce needless deaths on Kentucky's roadways and make the state safer for everyone," says Brewer.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

Plymouth University - Viglen Helps University Reduce Desktop Power Consumption by 40%
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
The University of Plymouth understands the power of IT to support learning and attracts an increasing number of students with its mixture of high quality teaching backed by leading-edge computer technology. In 2007, over 20,000 students took part in higher education courses delivered by the university's 3,000 staff. This case study showcases the University's challenges and the solutions they implemented. The university looks for solutions that help people work more efficiently while also protecting the environment. Under an existing system, IT personnel needed to update the university's computers regularly with new software and security patches, which meant computers were left running overnight to receive essential updates, with up to 5,000 machines operating 24 hours a day, five days a week. This meant that finding a more efficient approach to desktop management became a priority in order to help reduce their carbon footprint With a combination of Intel? vPro? technology and energy-efficient Intel? Core? 2 Duo processors, desktops used 40 per cent less power and security updates were also managed whether the computer was left on or off. The end result - improved asset management is definitely feasible.

Fire fighting could take on how can i get viagra overnight an entirely new character with the rediscovery of a principle first noticed more than 200 years ago: electricity can stop flames.
Scientists do not yet fully understand how electricity stops fire. "The process by which it does this is complex, the researchers say, and is actually not really well understood (there are a lot of different things happening at once, apparently). But critically, it seems the carbon particles (soot) generated during combustion are easily charged, and once charged they respond to electric fields in strange ways that affect the stability of cheap prescription cialis the flame. Shake that stability hard enough, and the look here cialis now online flame collapses."
If an electrical field can extinguish the flames, it offers an easily transportable method for extinguishing fires on jet fighters and overnight levitra submarines (and DARPA is backing research on the process). Building materials and their contents may be able to be saved from both the fire and from the water damage that often occurs from fire fighting. The system could also help reduce the use of fire retardant gasses such as Halon, which is a potent ozone-depletion causing gas.
Electrical fire suppression also has the potential to be a very fast-acting system, which could also be a benefit for locations with especially sensitive contents. The effect also seems to be generated from a manageable level of power, which suggests that, in a few years, backpack sized gear may be available to buy cialis without a prescription fire fighters as an alternative to the cheap cialis pills hoses and foam sprayers.

The Samsung NX300 represents something of a seachange for Samsung. Up until recently, the Samsung NX20 had stolen the limelight in Samsung's NX-series - one reason for this is perhaps its design, which very much mimicked that of a DSLR.
Samsung has taken a different approach with its latest flagship model, opting against the idea of a chunky handgrip and electronic viewfinder, yet the NX300 is a model that boasts the most impressive specification we've seen from any NX-series camera to date. Watch our video review to find out more or alternatively head over to our Samsung NX300 full review for more information.

(Reuters) - Siena prosecutors requested that JPMorgan Chase & Co
According to the Bloomberg report, prosecutors allege JPMorgan withheld information from Italian regulators about a 1 billion euro ($1.36 billion) financing the New York-based bank arranged for Monte Paschi's takeover of Antonveneta in 2008.
JPMorgan failed to oversee employees properly, according to the indictment request, Bloomberg reported citing sources.
Prosecutors also are seeking indictments against former Monte Paschi managers for obstructing regulators, market manipulation and falsifying filings, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
JPMorgan could not be immediately reached for comments.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/20/2014I have sworn off reviews for open table but cant resist giving this restaurant it's due. The food was really delicious and in an area that abounds with restaurants this one has been going for so long and continues to keep the quality of the food and the menu tops. I would have dinner there anytime as opposed to some of the trendier spots nearby. Definitely a "must go".Special Features:
- Good Food With Plenty of NoiseLuv2dineVIPDined on 9/19/2014I like this restaurant very much.....service is always accommodating, bread is good, ambiance is pleasant (tables are very close to one another), mixed green salad was enjoyable and my Chicken Milanaise was outstanding. Other in our party enjoyed their pasta dishes. We are older so the noise was a factor in our liking the place rather than loving it. The acoustics are such that we would either go very early or late in hopes that we could tolerate the din. The style of the day is NOISE!!!!!Special Features:
- Fred13daDined on 8/30/2014Can always count on good food and service. Nice vibe but too loud!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Italian crowd-pleaserChuckTDined on 8/29/2014We were looking for a good restaurant close to where we are staying in Venice. Found LVC based on online reviews and our group of 5 adults gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. We were seated within 15 minutes of our actual res. time on a busy Friday night. Waitress was attentive, engaging, and helpful. We had a wide variety of dishes and everyone said their food was excellent. Good wine selection. Definitely an "energetic" noise level. We enjoyed it, were glad we went, and would go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- still great butvisitfromvanDined on 8/26/2014visiting from vancouver I often stop at Levecchia and have always looked forward to taking friends and family with me. Still a great spot but found on this trip it had slipped a notch . Portions seemed to be larger, took longer and didn't quite live up to the hype i'd given them . I felt like i was at cheesecake factory when the salad arrived. Still a good four out of five for me but first few times I was there it was a full on five . Tasty and great serviceSpecial Features:
- Good start, but too muchOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/26/2014Hate to be a downer, but after a decent start with the apps (burratta special was the only real lone standout of the night) the meal crashed and burned with the entrees. In a party of 8 different plates, not a one was beyond merely just OK. The kitchen seems to lack a deft touch with the garlic, the truffles, the salt, you name it.
- Wonderful spot for lunchMamaVIPDined on 8/22/2014La Vecchia Cucina is a great lunch spot. Dinner there can be rather frenetic. Lunch is serene, food is sublime and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The prix fixe lunch at $14.00 is a true bargain. One can choose from a long list of appetizers (including the best fried calamari around) and a half portion of any of the delicious pastas, or perhaps a pizza or sandwich. Service is attentive. I look forward to returning for dinner in the near future. Something quite lovable about this restaurant. Perhaps, it is the utter lack of pretentiousness.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great local spotDScottDined on 8/21/2014Has fabulous bread and dipping oil with crushed garlic and herbs yummy! Pizza's are amazing, pasta withe lobster was delicious. Tables are pretty close together, good people watching but if I were to say something negative it would be the noise level.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Home Away From HomeFromagerVIPDined on 8/17/2014I love La Vecchia!!! The food is top notch, superb service, amazing happy hour, and decent prices!!!Special Features:
- Anniversary Dinner SuccessOYLFREEDined on 8/16/2014We needed a last-minute table for 4 for our 18th Wedding Anniversary. Open Table came through and we had an amazing evening. Jordi was easily the best waiter I have ever been served by - he was friendly but not intrusive, extremely knowledgable about the menu and the restaurant and an overall great guy. Because of Open Table's "notes" section they knew it was our anniversary ahead if time and brought out a celebratory dessert which a shocked my husband! Highly recommend La Vecchia Cucina.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding food and service !OK99Dined on 8/9/2014The authentic Cicilian cuisine, with outstanding quality of ingedients by Chef Mark, is unmatched. The ambience is energetic and yet romantic. The service is impecable. A real treat for Lunch as well, if you are in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Italian in S. Monica -maybe LAYummyfoodonlyplsDined on 8/6/2014Food was off the charts. Had the Caprese Salad, Rigatone Bolognese, Filet Mignon all perfect. It was my birthday & they brought dessert on the house. The service is impeccable. Would dine there anytime!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Must TryLoveEatingOutDined on 7/31/2014Food quality excellent. Fresh pasta and seafood was beyond delicious. Service was attentive, and helpful with regard to menu choices. Caesar salad a great choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent find!NicoleSDined on 7/27/2014We went here as part of the DineLA deal and was pleasantly surprised! The calamari in particular was absolutely delicious. The cocktails were fantastic as well. Highly recommended!Special Features:
- Fantastico!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/25/2014After discovering this restaurant at the LA Food&Wine 2013, it had been on my list of places to try this year. Luckily there was DineLA going on, SUCH great value. Regular menu is quite vast so this helped make an easy decision on what to try first, next time I can go a la carte and get adventurous. Burrata to start which was perfection. I had the Sea Urchin Spaghetti, sooo yummy finished the whole plate! My husband had the Alla Checca Pizza, cooked perfectly! Mom had Seabass, huge portion and delicious. Rest of the table had Lamb Ragu, which they all finished aswell. Desserts were either Panna Cotta or Tiramisu - DELISH. All 3 course meals were $35 each. Amazing. I cant wait to go back and try the rest f the menu!Special Features:
- consistingly goodMackDined on 7/25/2014Reservation time respected. Good bar. Good service. Excellent kitchen. Basic Italian with a modern twist.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date night with the wife!RevBadDined on 7/25/2014Excellently prepared food! The fried zucchini blossoms served with the lightly spiced marinara sauce made me think of the ones I had in Rome. Definitely looking to go again soon.Special Features:
- Consistently goodRickiDined on 7/23/2014One of my two favorite Italian restaurants in Los Angeles. The food is always consistently good. Their rigatoni bolognese is in my opinion the best in LA. They also have a burrata, tomato, basil and procuitto salad that is out of this world. You can't go wrong with any of their dishes, but their pasta dishes are especially outstanding.Special Features:
- Perfect restaurantRonFVIPDined on 7/22/2014Food & service is top rate. Enjoyed everything about this restaurant. There were 4 of us and each ordered different things and each dish was great. The deserts were super.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We all agreed it was greatlaminvaDined on 7/20/2014There were 4 in our party and we all agreed that this was a great restaurant. We had the fixed price menu that was part of LA restaurant week. The ravioli first course was delicious and so was the seafood salad. We all had the filet for our main course. It was tender and flavorful. The vegetables that accompanied the main course were excellent. And the desserts were terrific. I had the Tiramasu that was the best I have had. We loved this restaurant.Special Features:
- Charming Neighborhood Italian RestoPJFWDined on 7/18/2014We were treated by our daughter during restaurant week (extremely reasonable prices - $35.00 for 3-course meal). We expected dinner selections/service might not be as good as at other times, but to the contrary, on Friday eve we had a delightful relaxed meal. Seated on time, our waiter was friendly & helpful, menu choices were varied: at least 5 items for each course and in our party of four, we all had delicious food (outstanding tomato & burrata salads, seafood salad also very good, delicious pasta main as well as steak filets cooked just right and stuffed chicken that was to die for! Desserts were light and tasty - panna cotta and tiramisu). Corkage was $20. We will definitely return to this lively charming dining spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Lamb Chop is GoodAnneDined on 7/14/2014The lamb shop is good! My mom wanted it well done and it was still juicy and delicious.Special Features:
- Best Italian on Main Street!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/11/2014A total neighborhood gem! Love dining at the bar (awesome bartenders). Any item I have ever tried on this menu is outstanding. The pizzas, pastas (they have gluten free…just ask), salads, fish & chicken entrees are well rounded and I am convinced can meet anyones liking. The best arriabiata tomato sauce I have ever had. Great wine selection. The staff is always warm and coming into this restaurant always feels like eating amongst family.Special Features:

- So great we went there twice!windywooDined on 6/30/2014Visiting LA from New York, a friend recommended this restaurant to us. We were a large group and they were able to accommodate us no problem. We had such a fantastic dinner that we came back again with another group of people a few days later and had an equally amazing meal. Everyone in our party enjoyed it so much..I highly recommend the pizza which my kids loved! the pastas were delicious..and the lasagne superb! A great scene..and excellent wine list. We definitely will be back when we visit LA again.Special Features:
- Santa MonacaEljohnDined on 6/30/2014Excellent Italian food, the bus staff was very attentive but the wait staff didn't check back very much. All together the food made up for the service short comings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 23 Years and still our favorite23stillinloveDined on 6/29/2014My husband and I have been going to La Vecchia for 23 year. This restaurant still our favorite, we are what one might considered "foodies". La Vecchia is the baseline for any restaurant that we go to. We have been to many 5 stars restaurant in Europe, Canada and Mexico - La Vecchia is always #1. Our favorite dishes are the lamb chops(Costelette D'Agnello) and the filet mignon (Filetto Al Porto) and for dessert the lemon curt tart with almonds.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dee74Dined on 6/25/2014Been here many times, still pleases after all these years. Yep, a few thing's have been changed around and some dishes are a couple of dollars more but not too expensive. Not sure if they still have it since I am a light weight and didnt have it last week, however, liked the rosemary-infused vodka on the rocks. A girlfriend and I dropped by early eve. and had it and a delicious leisurely meal. Favorite dis is Farfalla La Veccia. Bow-tie pasta with lobster, soo good. It gets busy from about 7 p.m. until closing so make reservations.Special Features:
- Perfect ItalianOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/20/2014Although a bit noisy and crowded, this Italian serves perfect old-school food. We eat here very time we visit Santa Monica. The kitchen is sure-handed and efficient. Salads are wonderful. Ceasar is bursting with garlic and lemon. My husband's caprese featured outstanding and creamy mozzarella. Pastas are done perfectly al dente. The veal piccata is unparalleled, perfectly cooked in a zingy lemon sauce with capers. Lasagna is delicious. The tiramisu is one of the best I've had. Shout out to Nico for running a smooth house. See you next time!Special Features:
- Good food - LOUDMackDined on 6/13/2014Always good food, but a very high noise level. Good waitstaff, but too long to take orders. Not exceptional bartenders? Lots of little kids until about 7:30.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 6/7/2014Food was very good, but would agree with others who said that they do not know how to handle the weekend business. Our 3rd person on party of 3 was a half hour late. Since we walked in the Manager at the computer made a big deal about wanting the table yet at no time did they absolutely need to seat it. After taking the table away, we told our party not to come. The two they sat bought two glasses of wine and entrees. Our 3rd party, who was bringing a 4th, would have spent over $200 as we did. When we ask for someone who might care, the guy who came over just wanted to argue our point. Our waiter Matt did a great job. As busy as they were, he read that we wanted to take our time.Special Features:
- Romantic with impeccable serviceHappyDinerDined on 6/6/2014Excellent service, white table cloths, great food. Fantastic place for special occasion, but I could eat there a couple times a week.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Pleased!MangiaMadnessDined on 6/6/2014Every time I go to La Vecchia, before the check arrives I'm already making plans to come back. The service was top notch, the food was spectacular and the portions perfect. Because it was a special occasion, the manager sent over a dessert on the house which was a wonderful way to end a fabulous meal. They've got a patron for life!Special Features:
- RobJonDined on 5/26/2014Great Italian food and generous portions. Everything our table had was excellent The service was attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 619 reviews are from the La Vecchia Cucina reviews archive.
- My First Time. I'll be back. Great!MamaVIPDined on 5/5/2014As the title says, this was my first time dining at La Vecchia Cucina and I will definitely return. I loved everything about the restaurant. Inviting ambiance, friendly host, great service and oh my, the food was superb.
- Tasty but noisyNYLAgirlDined on 5/3/2014Very good food that is well priced. Our reservation was Saturday at 7:45. We were finally seated after more than a 30 minute wait without any apology. Once we were seated the service was good. The noise level was pretty unbearable. There are very good ceiling sound absorption panels out there...would really help. Would definitely go back but on an off night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Tooth Decay
Tooth decay is the process that results in a cavity (dental caries). If not treated, tooth decay can cause infection and loss of teeth.
A tooth has an outer layer (enamel), a middle layer (dentin), and a center (pulp). Tooth decay occurs when bacteria in the mouth make acids that eat away at a tooth. The more layers that decay, the worse the damage. If bacteria reach the pulp, the tooth likely will die. After a decayed tooth dies, a pus-filled pocket (abscess) may form in the bone at the end of the root.
Treatment for tooth decay depends on how severe it is. Holes (cavities) caused by mild tooth decay are repaired with fillings. More severe tooth decay requires repair with a crown or root canal treatment. In extreme cases a tooth will need to be removed (extracted).
The best way to prevent tooth decay is to practice good oral health habits such as daily brushing and flossing.

"It's a nice feeling to watch, I sometimes call them my babies, doing that good," said John DeFoore, the music instructor that taught both Lambert and Musgraves how to play and write songs. These "babies" DeFoore is referring to are Lambert and rising star Musgraves. DeFoore started teaching Musgraves when she was 14-years-old, and now she is nominated for CMA's New Artist of the Year."Even though she's got a great voice, even though she's beautiful, all these things, what they talk about are her lyrics which makes me happy because that's what I push a lot," said DeFoore.One of Musgraves' six CMA nominations is for Song of the Year. It's for the song she wrote called Mama's Broken Heart, which is performed by Lambert."They are two girls from East Texas and they talk real Texan and they know the same thing; big trucks and big hair and all that different stuff, so they get along pretty good," said DeFoore.It was that song that Musgraves sent to her old mentor to look at. "Right after Kacey wrote it she texted me part of the rough recording that they had done that night, right after they wrote it and she sent it to me," said DeFoore.That's not the only song this rising star is nominated for. Musgraves' song "Merry go 'Round'" is also topping the charts and is up for an award. DeFoore says the quiet town of Mineola is full of supporters."She is a nice person so she has a lot of friends. It's not just people who knew her, they are people who are friends. Everybody is excited for her," said DeFoore. "There's a difference between being excited because you know someone who got famous and being excited for someone you care about who got famous."
The CMA Awards will take place November 6th. To see Kacey's and Miranda's nominations, click here.

Fiscal Cliff 2013
Fiscal Cliff Deal Talks on Hold
U.S. President Barack Obama will cut his Hawaiian Christmas vacation short and return to the White House tomorrow (Thursday) to continue fiscal cliff deal negotiations.
Just five days remain for Democrats and Republicans to hammer out some kind of deal before the U.S. economy gets walloped with some $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts at the federal level.
It's unclear if the parties can reach a fiscal cliff deal before the New Year, although they've shown little hope they can agree.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner on Friday put the burden on the president and the Democrat-controlled Senate to make the next move after they rejected his big concession on tax rates. Boehner agreed to extend tax rates on incomes under $400,000 (reduced from his previous threshold of $1,000,000) in exchange for steep spending cuts to reduce the swollen federal deficit.
"I don't want taxes to go up; Republicans don't want taxes to go up. But we only run the House. Democrats continue to run Washington," a frustrated Boehner said in a press conference Friday after he failed to rally support for his "Plan B," which never even made it to a vote among his own party.
While both sides have reduced expectations for an all-or-nothing deal, the two parties are still miles apart. Lawmakers are already prepping for the blame game should the New Year come without resolution.

The Hilarious Comedy Behind John Boehner's "Plan B"
I am laughing right now, really.
I am laughing because of what happened last week. I am laughing that House Speaker John Boehner's "Plan B" for the Fiscal Cliff wasn't even voted on.
Why not? I can't imagine - it had all the right stuff.
According to Mr. Bonehead's website, "The bill focuses on stopping waste, fraud, and abuse in federal programs, eliminating government slush funds (including an ObamaCare slush fund), and reducing waste and duplication in government bureaucracies."
And that was just the trash talk about cutting wasteful spending in the bill. He also wanted a tax cut for Americans making under a million dollars a year. I'm for that!
So what's making me laugh, when on the surface the bill seems to make some sense?
It's what you can't see (because most of it is hidden, or if it's there it's buried) that's funny. In fact, two things in the bill are so funny that they almost brought me to tears.
Let's go have a laugh together.

Four Fiscal Cliff Investing Strategies
With fiscal cliff talks stalled in Washington, investors are in limbo wondering how the outcome - deal or no deal - will affect their money.
That's why we've put together the following fiscal cliff investing strategies, thanks to Money Morning Global Investing Strategist Martin Hutchinson, so you can be prepared for whatever happens.
While Hutchinson thinks a deal is likely, it might not come until the early New Year. In the meantime, here's his fiscal cliff investing strategy overview, straight from a recent report for his Permanent Wealth Investor subscribers.
- Fiscal Cliff Investing Strategy No. 1: Put Dividend Stocks in IRAs and 401(K)s
- Fiscal Cliff Investing Strategy No. 2: Maximize Your "Roth Conversions" in 2012
Since taxes are going up in 2013 and are likely to trend higher thereafter, you want most of your money in Roth IRAs unless you are very sure your income after retirement will be low enough to be in a low tax bracket. You can't make Roth IRA contributions directly unless your income is less than $100,000, roughly.

What's Next for Fiscal Cliff Deal Talks?
After a lot of talk from Washington this week, we could actually be farther away from a fiscal cliff deal than we were before.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner's "Plan B," created to avert a tumble over the fiscal cliff, failed to garner enough support Thursday night from his own party.
Boehner said before the voting that he was confident his Plan B, which proposed extending the Bush era tax cuts, would sail through.
But around 8 p.m., House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-VA, emerged and announced the measure wouldn't go up for a vote.
This left the country asking, "What's next for the fiscal cliff?"
Boehner later said in a statement, "The House did not take up the tax measure today because it did not have sufficient support from our members to pass. Now it is up to the president to work with Senator (Harry) Reid to avert the fiscal cliff."
Equity markets reacted by tumbling on the open Friday. A majority of market participants had been optimistic until now, hopeful that a fiscal cliff deal would be reached and a recession in 2013 avoided.
But just 10 days remain before America faces the largest tax increase in history, coupled with steep automatic spending cuts, the outlook for next year has dimmed.
With Congress on recess for the Christmas holiday and no fiscal cliff deal in sight, investors are worried and rightly so.

Why Recession 2013 Could Hit Regardless of Fiscal Cliff Deal
Stalled fiscal cliff negotiations have fueled concerns the U.S. could face a recession in 2013 if the country fails to avert the cliff.
But recession 2013 may be on the way regardless of what happens with the fiscal cliff talks.

Fiscal Cliff Deal Talks Hit Major Roadblock
The apparent breakdown of talks between U.S. President Barack Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner on a fiscal cliff deal took the optimism out of the markets on Wednesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling nearly 100 points.
As the markets prepared to open for trading Thursday, U.S. stock futures were lower.
Boehner has decided to go ahead with a vote on his "Plan B," which would extend the Bush-era tax rates for all taxpayers with income of less than $1 million but would not deal with any of the automatic spending cuts that would take effect after Jan. 1.
In an effort to win support from wavering House Republicans, it has been reported that a companion bill could be brought to the floor with Plan B. The bill would prevent across-the-board cuts required by the fiscal cliff from being applied to the military and other specific programs.
Assuming Boehner can round up enough votes to pass Plan B, then "the president will have a decision to make," Boehner said. "He can call on the Senate Democrats to pass that bill or he can be responsible for the largest tax increase in American history."
Senate majority leader Harry Reid, D-NV, has indicated Plan B will not pass in the Democrat-controlled Senate, and President Obama has vowed to veto the bill if it reaches his desk.

What the Fiscal Cliff Deal Could Do to You
Depending on the deal Congress makes for the fiscal cliff, middle-class Americans could face a total average tax burden of nearly 50%.
Middle-class Americans already pay an average of 43.12% in taxes, according to the non-partisan Tax Foundation.
Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald detailed the possible increase in the tax tab, citing data from FOX Business Network's expert on consumer and personal finance, Gerri Willis.
Absent a fiscal cliff deal, the mean middle class federal tax rate would climb from 25% to 28%, as Bush-era tax cuts expire in 2013. Payroll taxes would rise from 13.3% to 15.3%.
"Keep in mind that doesn't include state income tax hikes, city or county taxes, many of which are on the rise no matter where you live, thanks to decades of poor fiscal management," Fitz-Gerald said.
Add in state taxes, which average 4.82%, and the middle-class tax burden would average a whopping 48%.
As Fitz-Gerald put it, the possible tax increases amount to "an assault on the middle class."
The Most Painful Fiscal Cliff Hit to the Middle Class
Fiscal Cliff Deal: Plan B or Plan CYA?
Markets were higher in Europe and the United States yesterday (Tuesday) as progress was made on a fiscal cliff deal as well as on resolving debt ceiling issues before year end.
But then Republican House Speaker John Boehner rattled everyone's cages by proposing his "Plan B," which would make permanent the Bush tax cuts for all taxpayers with annual incomes under $1 million.
"Right now we need to do something to get the president's attention," Rep. Frank Lucas, R-OK, said in an interview with Bloomberg News. Boehner's approach "might just help," he said.
Fiscal Cliff Deal: What is Plan B?The Washington Post reported that Plan B legislation was still being drafted late Tuesday but, in addition to making the Bush tax rates permanent for incomes under $1 million, Plan B would create a permanent alternative minimum tax patch and maintain the 35% inheritance tax on estates of more than $5 million.
Plan B does not address the automatic, across the board spending cuts that will go into effect if a fiscal cliff deal fails, nor does it address the looming debt ceiling.
"I believe it's important that we protect as many American taxpayers as we can," Boehner said Tuesday. "And our Plan B would protect American taxpayers who make a million dollars or less and have all of their current rates extended."
Plan B is intended to avoid tax hikes on the vast majority of Americans and to buy time to address spending cuts and other issues in January, following the holiday recess.
Boehner plans a House vote on his Plan B on Thursday.

Fiscal Cliff Deal: The President's Latest Counter Offer
Equity and commodity prices rallied in Europe and Asia while the U.S. dollar and Treasury bond prices fell as U.S. President Barack Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner have made progress on a fiscal cliff deal.
On Friday afternoon, Speaker Boehner called the White House with an offer to raise taxes on Americans earnings more than $1 million, altering his position on no tax increases for anyone.
With that concession in hand, the president devised a counteroffer, which was presented to the Republicans late Monday. The president's new proposal reduces tax increases from $1.6 trillion over ten years to $1.2 trillion, offset by $1.2 trillion in spending cuts.
But Republicans are questioning the president's math.

Fiscal Cliff Deal: Boehner Takes a Huge Step
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, lead negotiator for the Republicans, took the first step late Friday in making a fiscal cliff deal when he agreed to accept a tax hike for the wealthiest Americans (those making more than $1 million).
Boehner also agreed to a one-year increase to the debt ceiling.
In return, the GOP wants U.S. President Barack Obama to implement steep cuts to entitlement spending, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
"Boehner has now accepted the premise of higher rates. So now we're just arguing over details. I think it's a significant step," Greg Valliere, chief political strategist at Potomac Research Group told Reuters.

How to Prepare for the Fiscal Cliff
Fiscal cliff negotiations continued Thursday, but with Republicans not budging on their staunch opposition to raising taxes, and Democrats refusing any deal that doesn't include higher taxes, hopes for a compromise by year's end have waned.
Investors are worried, and rightly so.
In fact, the Wells Fargo/Gallup Investor and Retirement Optimism Index turned in a score of -8 in November, down from double-digit positive readings in early 2012. That means investors polled are back to being as pessimistic about the investing climate as they were a year ago when Washington was battling over the debt ceiling.
About 70% of investors polled said the fiscal cliff was already slowing the economy, and feared a deep recession would hit in 2013 if the economy fell off the cliff.
With no deal in sight, here's how investors can prepare for falling off the fiscal cliff.

Fiscal Cliff 2013: GOP Plans Retaliation
Republicans appear to be losing the fiscal cliff 2103 fight over raising taxes on affluent Americans.
Now they're threatening to retaliate by intensifying Washington's next battle: the U.S. debt ceiling.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, pledged Republicans, who control the U.S. House of Representatives, would put up "one hell of a fight over raising the debt ceiling" next year if U.S. President Barack Obama succeeds in getting the tax increase for wealthy Americans without a plan to reduce the national debt. The country is approaching the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling.
On CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight" Tuesday, Graham threatened, "There will come a time in February and March where we have to raise the debt ceiling. I will not raise the debt ceiling ever again until we get significant reforms, because if we don't reform entitlement we're going to become Greece."
If the country's debt ceiling is not raised, the fallout would send shockwaves across the globe, as the United States, with the world's largest economy, would face the prospect of default. That in turn could threaten global confidence in U.S. Treasury bills should there be non-payment.
In addition, exceeding the debt ceiling could mean the U.S. government would be unable to pay its bills, including salaries of federal workers, who could go unpaid or be laid off. That could have far-reaching effects, disrupting business and reducing consumer spending at a time when the economy can ill afford either prospect.

Tax Fight Remains Biggest Roadblock in Fiscal Cliff Deal
The fiscal cliff countdown clock tells us there is just 21 days left for Democrats and Republicans to come to some sort of deal.
With little resolved after months of back-and-forth discussions, which have recently turned into more heated exchanges, U.S. President Barack Obama has taken over the role of leading negations for his party, while Republican House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner is chief negotiator for the GOP.
The two men met for an unplanned White House meeting Sunday. Little details were made public regarding the powwow, but from duplicate statements from both sides, it doesn't appear much was accomplished.
The following messaged was delivered by White House spokesman John Earnest as well as an aide to Boehner. "This afternoon, the president and Speaker Boehner met at the White House to discuss efforts to resolve the fiscal cliff. We're not reading our details of the conversation, but the lines of communication remain open."
Statements from each side Monday made it clear core tax and spending issues remained unresolved, but both sides maintain they are waiting for details from the other side.
Democrats and Republicans are basically saying to each other, "it's your move."

What the Fiscal Cliff Means for Investors
Beyond the rhetoric and posturing in Washington, what does the fiscal cliff mean for investors?
The phrase is usually accompanied by dire warnings about what will happen to the nation's economy if the country fails to avert the fiscal cliff.
Even talk about a possible compromise has sent shivers up investors' spines.
One compromise would cap the tax exemption on municipal bonds - a tax break in effect since 1913. That has sent investors in that segment of the bond market scurrying for cover.
The compromise would also raise borrowing costs for municipalities.
As Mike Nicholas, CEO of the Bond Dealers of America, told CNBC, "It's a tax on everyone."
Another more likely part of any compromise would involve raising the capital gains tax rate from the current 15% to perhaps 25% or more.
That prospect affected many high-flying stocks, including Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL), in which investors have large capital gains. Investors are selling Apple and other stocks before year's end to lock in the lower capital gains tax rate.
Erik Davidson, deputy chief investment officer for Wells Fargo Private Bank in San Francisco, told Reuters, "You're going to see selling in the likes of Apple and other companies that have had good runs."

The Fiscal Cliff Is Set To Clobber The Middle Class With Nearly 50% Tax Rates
If I didn't know any better, I'd think there's a small but growing group of people in Washington who think it would actually be good if we temporarily went over the fiscal cliff.
I say that because I am seeing a smattering of articles recently suggesting that somehow going over the cliff "won't be all that bad" or that we're "really just talking about cuts that need to happen in the first place."
President Obama seems to think the same way judging by the fact that he's dug in his heels, telling the GOP there will be no fiscal cliff bargain that doesn't include tax hikes.
Now noted budget hawk Republican Senator Tom Coburn has broken ranks, noting that he'd rather see rates rise because that "will give us a greater chance to reform the tax code and broaden the base in the future."
I find that to be an absolutely appalling argument given how much further the president's proposals will squeeze the middle class.
As Fox Business Network's Gerri Willis, an expert on consumer and personal finance issues, recently pointed out to me, the average middle class tax rate is already 43.12%, according to the non-partisan Tax Foundation.
Beyond that, Willis says if we do go over the cliff, the average middle class tax burden jumps to nearly 50%.

Flattering with skirts and dresses...
"Love these comfortable booties! They're great with jeans, of course, but what I especially like is their cut (curvy seaming and top slant) because it fits my slim ankles better than plain-topped boots when showing some leg. The heels are in nice proportion as well, supportive for walking. but not too fat. I expect they'll be the one pair of boots I pack for summer travel."

Great boots!
"They were inexpensive but don't look it at all. I bought the black suede and they are beautiful! They are soft and comfortable, even for someone like me, who NEVER wears heels. Don't think I'd do a whole lot of walking in them but they are perfect for dinner dates. Very nice quality and I'm so glad I got them"

Mega Man Universe Gameplay Teaser
Wait... I'm so confused. Is this a 2.5D remake of Mega Man 1 with other Capcom influences or something...? What? Reminds me of that PSP Mega Man remake with the big head, Mega Man Powered Up. Weird. I need more information! How could you play as Ryu? Hadukens instead of the mega buster?
I honestly don't know why Capcom and nintendo haven't released X games on the virtual console. Maybe they are holding them back because they are working on a retro Mega Man X9 and want release the X games around the that release time as a marketing tool? Sure, I'm talking out of my ass but damn, one can hope.
Do not play Mega Man: Command Mission. It is a terrible RPG and should only be mentioned if we are talking about burning it.
There is a Mega Man X collection disc available for the PS2 and Gamecube. I have the Gamecube version and a GC to SNES controller adapter, so I can play the early X games using the original controller.
Interesting little tidbit about Hadoukens in Mega Man games. In Mega Man X, you can get a Hadouken ability after you get all the heart containers, E-Tanks, and upgrades and reach a certain point in the Armored Armadillo stage 4-5 times. The Hadouken is activated by doing a quarter-circle punch, just like in Street Fighter, but in Mega Man X is can only be used when you have full HP. The Hadouken kills any enemy (except for the final final boss) in one shot.
In Mega Man X2, there is another similar powerup which is even harder to get. Instead of a Hadouken, you get the Shoryuken, which also kills anything in one hit.

How to Invest Like a Deep Value Financier
Robert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Deep value investors are a special breed.
Like their conventional value cousins, deep value investors focus on buying stocks at material discounts to their intrinsic value. However, deep value investors will often look into the strangest places to find opportunities; distressed assets, penny stocks, spinoffs, etc.
How can you emulate their strategies? Let's take a look at one tool in the deep value investor's arsenal: liquidation value.
Liquidation value has several advantages over other valuation techniques. 1) It's the most conservative estimate of a company's intrinsic worth. 2) Liquidation value is fairly simple to calculate. It is far easier to value balance sheet items such as cash, real estate and inventories than it is to estimate the intangible value of a business such as its going concern value or goodwill.
Calculating Liquidation Value
Calculating the liquidation value of a firm is a straight forward formula:
Liquidation Value of Firm = Liquidation Value of Assets - Liabilities
The main goal of the investor is to determine the value of the company's assets if the business was liquidated today.
- Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash should be valued at 100 cents on the dollar. Cash equivalents should be marked at face value less transaction costs.
- Account Receivables – Receivables should be valued at 75% to 90% of book value.
- Inventories – Inventories are difficult to evaluate and depends on the business being assessed. For example, a grocery store may be able to liquidate its inventory cheaply and quickly whereas a warehouse full of electronics may be worthless. Generally inventories are valued between 25% and 75% of book value.
- Long Term Assets - A company's fixed assets are also difficult to assess. Investors must ask if the assets can generate cashflow either for its current use or alternative uses. Grade A office space can be liquidated easily whereas as lumber mill would be less valuable. Fixed assets can be valued anywhere from 0% to 90% of book value.
Potential Pitfalls
Investors must conduct a full due diligence to determine why the firm is trading at such a steep discount. Common red-flags include:
Negative Cashflow: Common stocks in this category usually have a negative trend in earnings. There's the possibility that if losses continue, investor capital will be squandered and the intrinsic value of the firm will be less than the price paid.
Hidden Liabilities: Often a stock will show up on a value screen because of a hidden liability not reflected on the company's balance sheet. For example, perhaps the company faces a lawsuit. Often, this information can be found by studying the footnotes in quarterly reports.
No Catalyst: Don't count on liquidation just because it maximizes shareholder value. Management will often be reluctant to liquidate a firm. This is why it's important to identify a catalyst that will keep management actions in line with shareholder interests such as an activist investor or large insider ownership.
Stock Screen
To further illustrate the deep value concept, I created a screen of companies trading below or near their liquidation value with market capitalizations over $200 million and excluded financial service firms. Of course, this isn't a list of buy recommendations but a place to begin further research. Here are the results:
Foolish Bottom Line
Stocks trading below or near their liquidation value represent attractive investment opportunities. First, investors have limited downside risk. In the event the business cannot return to profitability, management and shareholders will usually chose to partially or completely liquidate the company resulting in the return of capital. Second, stocks in this category may have large upside potential. In the best case scenario, the business returns to profitability as a result of improving industry conditions or changes in the company's operations. Share prices can appreciate remarkably if the stock is once again valued as a going concern.
