And second, shut up and play the hits. A decade later he had his own show. He was also one of the founders of the Mayo Clinic. He owns a cottage gift business on the Central California Coast. He was part of the successful "B" team in San Diego that included Ellen K.

Final thought hey, it works for Jerry Springer: For some, a time of celebration, for others a time of fear. There were both boasts and frustrations. While some believed their voices were finally heard, others believed their voices were now lost. Allow me to reiterate what I mentioned a few years ago.

Hoppy Great News for Kids. Merry Christmas from LARadio. What Did Sound Like? December 24, With a deep breath … Merry Christmas. Another challenging year for so many of us. My sincere hope is that you surround yourself with family and friends this weekend and begin the process for anticipating a New Year to be filled with love and work that you love to do.

My daughter, Alexandra, graduated from UCSB in June and secured a job with a reality tv production house in the South Bay, with the kind help of a LARP. My year-old son is due from San Diego on Christmas Day.

My older son bought his first home in Naples, Florida, thanks to the Obama first-time buyer incentive package. He will enjoy the holiday in the Florida sun with his two dogs and girlfriend.

We have much to be thankful for. I experienced two losses this year that make me very sad. And my best friend for the last decade, Dan Aveydied this fall. I will treasure my time with them. LARadio will be here most days next week.

Alan Odaour senior correspondent, has put together the big LARadio stories of That piece will run early next week. We are also working on the Passing Parade, which begins with good guy Rory Markas.

Enjoy your holiday weekend! December 27, Rush to judgment: Limbaugh himself later stated he was quoted out of context, his concern being his mortal enemy, the Obama Administration, was taking political and financial advantage of the tragedy.

Bill Handel being eaten alive!: Laura moving up the dial to KFWB, it left an open time slot which quickly allowed Bill Handel to become a two-timer — his local morning show remained intact, while he launched a syndicated midday effort. After six months, the midday effort was shelved and Bill Carroll arrived from Canada. Laura relocates her practice: Though Sirius XM may potentially reach 30 million listeners, the question is how many of her current 8 million listeners will subscribe to hear the doctor.

Juan Williams now calls FOX News his home after being dismissed by NPR for perceived anti-Muslim remarks. And some along the NPR network keep moving forward. With its new 35, square-foot off-campus facility boasting 13 studios, local affiliate KPCC makes its bid to be the primary local news outlet, with the ambition of having a news department with as many as reporters.

KFWB veteran Steve Kindred joined Mark Austin Thomas keeping news a priority at the station, though veterans Dave Williams and Michael Linder were dismissed. The station is still not yet live-and-local in the afternoon, though neither Sean Hannity nor Mark Levin are strangers to their local and national audiences. Why was Ryan Seacrest putting up for sale his 10, square foot Mediterranean bachelor pad in the Hollywood Hills last summer?

Were contract negotiations with Clear Channel not going well? Would he need to downsize? Maybe he wants something a bit flashier for his abode…is the Taj Mahal on the market? Top 40 still tops: Things are going well, thank you — the station continues to be the 1 station, so far maintaining a lead over Carson Daly and his station, the still relatively new AMP Radio KAMP.

Stryker moved from KROQ to AMP Radio, only to return back to the alternative rocker at the beginning of the year. A WAVE of success, indeed: Already given credit for helping K-EARTH return to the top of the ratings, Jhani Kaye performed another ratings revival, this time for sister station KTWV, a. It should also be even more familiar with former KOSTer Kim Amidon bringing her friendly talents to morning drive. Oh wait…Jhani also programmed KOST earlier in his career. Still, current KOST pd Stella Prado has to be given credit for keeping her station consistently in the top 5 of the Arbitrons.

Now, one-line non sports flashes to fight the clock we miss you Jim Healy! People guaranteed to make me smile on the drive home include Steve MasonJohn Irelandand Petros Papadakis Last but not least: How he does this day-in and day-out is truly amazing — once again, Don Barrett deserves kudos for another year as THE source for the stories about radio.

Gary Owens once said Mr. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good PPM! You can reach Alan at: December 5, New Jersey may claim they have the Boss, but on a Wednesday afternoon in Southern California, it was time to pay tribute to the Boss of Boss Radio. Some of the biggest names and personalities in Top 40 radio caused a seismic shift in Studio City, as they gathered to remember the ultimate Boss, Bill Drake. The main auditorium at the Little Brown Church on Coldwater Canyon in Studio City on Wednesday was overflowing with friends, family and colleagues of Bill Drake.

Charlie addressed his Lutheran clothing complete with clerical collar and stole early in his opening remarks. I always thought he was one of us! And I think they represent a good variety of Goldens, Boss 30 hits, and Boss hitbounds and just a taste of a rockumentary.

So, moving past the Top Of The Hour ID, and sweeping the: It would have a well stocked bar.

Shelves of audio equipment, of course. And just beside his favorite chair, there is the batphone. And we can have pretty good confidence that he will put his talents to work up there. So, we can predict that as he takes over consulting K-GOD, he is pleased to know that some of the finest talent to ever grace the airwaves is waiting for him.

Talent that he selected and groomed welcomed him to the jock lounge and helped him get up to speed. And can you begin to imagine what the jingle singers sound like up there? One day, we will be able to hear it to…because, Ladies and Gentlemen, in faith we know…the beat goes on! Watson now lives in North San Diego County. Drake's partner of 11 years Carole Scott and Drake's daughter Kristie flank Kristie's husband; Lisa Osborn; and record promo guru Don Graham and former K-EARTH personality Johnny Hayes.

During a San Francisco visit, Drake and Watson met for the first time. Ken Levine was another of the half-dozen speakers. I was on the air as Beaver Cleaver. No, he fired me for another reason. Actually, he had Watson do it. And usually I am. But I owe so much to Bill Drake. The impact he had on my life is immeasurable. He had this uncanny knack of knowing what we wanted before we did. Boy, how did he make that call?

We baby boomers felt energized, optimistic, excited about a future that held endless possibilities. How much of that is because we also had Fractious Fridays and Million Dollar Weekends and a Big Kahuna handing out money at junior highs although that one was a little dicey? My entire generation owes a debt to Bill Drake and his vision, even if they have no idea who he was.

Two-time Drake music guru Annie Van Bebber, Bernie Torres; former KTWV personality Amy Hiatt; and Charlie Van Dyke. Jhani Kaye is having enormous success as program director at K-EARTH. And little did I know then that he would become so influential in my role as a programmer. When Jhani was appointed program director at K-EARTH a few years ago, Bill Drake was the first to call and offer his congratulations. What a thrill that was.

God bless you, Bill. Bill Mouzis was a production engineer at KHJ for 14 years before he met Drake in Mouzis provided some of the history of KHJ just before Drake came on the scene. Bill Drake and Gene Chenault took complete control of the RKO Radio division in the Spring of Engineer Ken Orchard, former Boss Jock Mark Elliott; K-EARTH's Bruce Chandler and Keith Smith; and former Robert W.

Morgan producer Kevin Gershan and KHJ Boss Jock Dave Sebastian Williams. It was simply a smash. Over the years Mouzis and Drake lost track of each other. Never did I have an inkling though that he might be sick. I think this particular lyric relates somewhat to Mr.

Les Garland, former pd at Drake-stations KFRC-San Francisco and CKLW-Detroit, flew from Florida to attend the services on Wednesday. He read the moving letter that he wrote to his two sons about Bill Drake. In introducing Charlie TunaVan Dyke said: Tuna remembered that it was on Thanksgiving Day 41 years ago that he joined KHJ. You never thought Bill would leave. Tuna was first introduced to the Drake format at KOMA-Oklahoma City in the summer of where he was working.

At a jock meeting the program director played tapes of KHJ and explained that this station had gone rocketing to the top in L. It got us all excited about radio. The first thing I saw was the blinding jewelry that Bill Watson wore in those days. Then I saw the towering presence of this man, Bill Drake, and it was one of those larger-than-life moments. I had never met the man yet but I knew he was responsible for getting me to KHJ. I remember that he had a quick smile and he was very warm — a real southern gentleman and he made me feel like I belonged.

Gary Owens recounted meeting Bill Drake when he still used his birth name Phil Yarbrough. A good friend of ours, formerly from KIMN in Denver, Jimmy Neilbecame Scotty Day with the Bartell organization. My name at the time was Lucille Ball. He did such a great job with the broadcast industry and was one of the great innovative people.

Owens left the packed house with a laugh. Just last week this jock was probably not quite as vivid as he used to be. He went to proctologist for a check-up and accidentally yelled out the name of another proctologist. I was able to share a historical perspective about the importance of Bill to not only Los Angeles radio but to the entire radio community.

Sports guy Eric Tracy reports on FB that his cancer has moved into his chest and lungs. He was so precious to us. He fought hard for 15 months but cancer finally won, as it so often does. After 22 Years, Jim Carson Signs Off at K-EARTH. Listeners west of the Freeway, including those in Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Sawtelle, and Brentwood, should now experience a stronger signal with less static interference from other stations on the same or adjacent radio frequencies.

The project began nearly two years ago in an effort to enhance the KPCC listening experience for their west side audience, who live and work in that area. The signal improvement will also benefit commuters who cross the Sepulveda Pass and travel along Pacific Coast Highway between Santa Monica and Malibu. The state-of-the-art engineering required to boost the signal was a joint effort of the KPCC staff and talent from National Public Radio Labs.

We expect to apply the advances we gained on the Westside to improve our signal for listeners in other parts of the Los Angeles area. As the most listened- to public radio news service in Southern California, we have a responsibility to provide the best possible service to our listeners.

Our board and membership help make this all possible. Southern California Public Radio SCPR is a member-supported public radio network that operates Morning Drive Change at KABC.

They've got an A-team in place, so I just fill in some holes once or twice a week. They're real pros when news starts to break! There are great things happening at KSBR that I'm sticking around for. New radio and tv studios being built, fundraising is up and working on an interference mitigation plan with KCSN to clean up I love public radio and working with future broadcasters at Saddleback College, so it's the best of both worlds.

Yes, it sounds like one of those phony press release quotes, but I'm incredibly thankful for all the opportunity. Fred was a cigar smoker for years. Photo by Roger Karnbad Fred was an original. He spent his childhood in Waldwick, New Jersey in front of his television, absorbing vital information that would become the foundation of his career.

He wrote fan letters and collected autographs. He scoured the streets of New York looking for entertainment memorabilia stores, collecting game show photos. He presented a pile of his photos to Bob Clayton the announcer one of the many versions of the Dick Clark's Pyramid game shows. Impressed by Fred's collection, Clayton introduced Fred to Dick Clark and was invited backstage by producer Francine Bergman where he met his childhood idol, Bill Cullen far right. InJay Wolpert gave him is first break as a production assistant on the game show Hit Man.

He credited Jay with keeping him going in the lean times, often giving him Lucky Market food gift cards as a bonus for all his hard work. Fred was introduced to the legendary voice over agent Don Pitts and was given the opportunity by Cindy Kazarian to begin what would become his career at her agency. Fred knew nothing about being an agent, but under their guidance, he amassed a roster of talent inspired by the radio giants at KMPC and began signing clients including Wink MartindaleGary OwensGeoff Edwards and Jim Lange.

His client base continued to expand with talent including Bob EubanksGene Rayburn, and with the advent of The Game Show Network, Fred cultivated relationship with the classic hosts and game show stars helping them and their heirs receive payment for re-runs of classic game shows. Fred would hop a plane he hated flying to accompany Adam all over the world for speaking engagements and autograph shows.

Fred once told me he had to go to Argentina for the weekend with Adam. Fred is bottom right along with some legendary game show hosts and executives The Fred stories could go on forever, but here a few quick stories that make me smile.

A few years ago, Fred was called for jury duty. He was excused from duty. A germ phobic person his entire life, Fred dreaded visiting hospitals. When his dear friend, actor Frank Gorshin, was dying at St Joseph's in Burbank, he was at his side and helped Frank with a request. So Fred, who never liked cigarettes, went to a nearby store, bought a pack of cigarettes, lit one up outdoors, filled his mouth with smoke, held his breath, went to Frank's bedside, lifted his oxygen mask, and blew the smoke for Frank to inhale.

Fred said Frank smiled for the first time in a long time. Fred did not want his family, friends or clients to know he was ill. He thought he could beat it. He didn't want people to worry. He didn't want to see their concerned faces. He wanted to keep his dignity during a very undignified time. He loved all his clients and worked on their behalf up until the end. He still wanted to do so much more. He had a wonderful team of doctors who used all the resources available and received constant updates regarding new medicines and clinical trials through StandUp2Cancer.

And, he had the team at KMR who provided unwavering support to him at his office. Fred wanted to do it his way. And, Fred would want everyone to know that he never lost his hair! Fred is survived by his parents, Irene and Fred, brother, Steve, sister-in-law, Heidi, along with a niece, nephew and numerous cousins he adored. He is also survived by his close, loving friends who supported him with kindness and heartfelt joy, Mae, Zaire and Amor Hampton.

Goodbye, my dear friend. I hope they have cable in heaven so you can watch game shows and the sun is always shining so you can work on your tan. Hear Ache November 7, Jim Rondeau has joined KNX as a weekender and fill-in news anchor.

Mike Callaghan, Chief Enginner at KIIS for Almost 40 Years, Has Died.

November 6, Mike Callaghanveteran engineer for KIIS, KPPC, KWST, KKDJ and KXTA, has died. For a decade fromhe was teacher of telecommunications at Pasadena City College. In Mike designed the KIIS Megacruiser, a 46 foot long remote semi-trailer with two fully functional on-air studios, one of which rolls out of the side of the trailer.

In he upgraded KXTA from 5, to 50, watts. Paul McLane of Radio World interviewed Mike when he retired in And we had managers of vision who gave us the tools and money to try new concepts. He recalls taking the electronic curriculum at Pasadena City College right out of the Army. That made a lot of sense to me, so I studied like mad and passed the exam. I applied and was hired. It was a baptism by fire, believe me!

Beautiful music, and beautifully boring. That lasted one year. Then to KKDJ, which became KIIS. You have to stay current with technology and keep learning as much as possible. Retiring for me means staying active and continuing to learn. Car Talk Brother Dies. As a pair, the Magliozzi brothers were appointment listening on NPR radio.

PT the pre-sale link and password will be emailed to membership on November 2. To join the ALT November 1, Over the weekend I read a fascinating book on the history of the Universal Tour and Theme Park and its spark plug, Jay Stein. Having worked at Universal Pictures in the '80s, so many of the names were familiar and I learned so much behind the back story of decisions and how they were made.

After the launch of the Hollywood and Florida Universal parks, Jay Stein was obsessed with creating another theme park, Cartoon World. Stein was confident that a cartoon-based theme park had the strongest and broadest appeal of any theme park ever conceived. The key to his concept was obtaining the rights to the cartoon characters owned by Warner Bros.

Without WB, the available second-tier cartoon characters would not be strong enough to attract patrons. Negotiations took place at the highest levels between WB and Universal execs and ultimately an agreement could not be reached. How does this apply to LA Radio? The mention of Bob Pittmanthe current chairman and ceo of iHeart Media. At the time, Warner Bros.

Pittman was put in charge in Six Flags was a poor investment, run poorly. For the most part, Six Flags would put character names on rides without any serious theming and have costumed characters walk around. An ambitious Pittman convinced his bosses that Warner Bros. Unfortunately, he did nothing and left the company. Jay felt Warner's has no clue how to exploit their characters in movies or in the theme parks. He added it is shameful that they are unable to leverage their world-class characters and their current management is no more talented than the people he was dealing with many years before.

Legends in the Fall of October On Saturday, a jammed packed audience at the LARADIO. The early pioneers were in top form. I thought the best way for you to relive what happened on Saturday would be to hear from those who were there: Ted Quillin, Wink Martindale, Elliot Field, Jim Hawthorne, Perry Allen, Gary Owens, Casey Kasem, Art Laboe, and Don Barrett moderating not pictured but participants in the seminar: I found it particularly interesting that the only personality mentioned as listened to by the panelists was Phil Hendrie.

And while being impressed by all the panelists, I left the museum feeling sorry that I'd never had the opportunity to work with Chuck Blore during the Color Radio days. I mean, the stories he told and the stunts he pulled Jim Hawthorne was someone I wasn't familiar with and he left quite an impression. Every guy on the panel showed he "still has it" and I am big time happy I made the extra effort to find a parking space.

It was a flat out WONDERFUL 3 hours! Take a bow, panel. And take a bow, Don Barrett. I was immediately moved by the camaraderie and mutual respect among these legendary personalities, and of course their glib, easy-going senses of humor.

I'd known of Perry Allen from his WKBW work, but wasn't aware that he too had a resume akin to a coast-to-coast train ticket. I've always been fascinated by the larger-than-life likes of Todd StorzGordon McLendon and Bill Randle ; I sure got a good dose of anecdotes and insight into the personalities of our founding fathers.

And from a story about suspected payola, I also learned about a dark side of one of the indie record promoters with whom I had a relationship throughout the s. Finally and perhaps most profoundly, I realized that having the courage to risk and reach for personal goals in the first half of your life can create a sense of accomplishment, pride, and a cache of great memories that can sustain you into your 80s and beyond.

I became truly aware that some of the veterans of the radio wars are reaching advance ages, but couldn't help but notice that once seated and in the spotlight, each of these legends were young at heart, glib and still have the all the magic that made them great. Thanks for a magical moment. The transition over 45 years has been so gradual that I had forgotten how it really sounded. The three hours went by faster than a Friday drive-time shift and they were just getting started when we had to clear the hall.

You could write a book about these guys. The ten stars offered a glimpse into the early days of Southern California radio that can only be described as galvanizing. The audience reaction to their war stories demonstrated just how deeply radio touched its listeners in its infancy. But, since I'm going into radio, it seems only right to pay my respects to those that have paved the way.

It was interesting to hear about the humble beginnings of the countdown genre and American Top Who knew a janitor indirectly helped with it's inception. Most answered public radio or all news; nobody mentioned even one commercial music station or personality as their favorite [excepting one honorable mention for Phil Hendrie ].

Chuck Blore mentioned that if you programmed a station today with many distinct personalities around the clock, as he had with KFWB, rather than just morning personalities as is done today, it would still be number one as KFWB was in its heyday. While it was truly wonderful to see all these great radio personalities together, it was a reminder of what we have lost in radio. The panel was both uplifting and bittersweet. The glimpse into the mind of his promotional genius was a world away from any of the meager attempts from stations today.

I would like to think that we did some pretty wacky and successful things at KROQ, but they failed in comparison with the fire and compassion that exists in Mr. What a wonderful opportunity it was for me to be part of this event. Although I am too young to remember all but a couple of these personalities, I was privileged enough to get a sense of what radio was all about during the 50's and 60's.

I think the thing that was only touched on for a few minutes turned out to be the highlight of the afternoon for me, and that was when someone asked what radio stations they listen to now.

That kind of got the ball rolling on the issues that plague Southern California radio today. I'm just a pup when it comes to broadcasting but when I started, I promised myself I would bring something new and good to traffic reporting.

That was, trying to actually speak to someone Boy, did I light up inside when he said that! The most amazing thing was that the panelists were so entertaining in their reflections on the radio business.

Jim Hawthorne is a real talent, funny, witty, and sharp. The stories about how the AM radio business worked back in the 50's and 60's was very interesting.

These guys loved what they did and it showed. Hearing the aircheck of Casey Kasem doing a fast-talking dj style in Oakland was really something since I only knew Casey in his present delivery. Ted Quillin knew Elvis, Wink had a 1 proc phreg output options, Casey started out as a fast-talkin jock.

KFWB had 10, bees released as a promotion. Great stories, great evening. And I realized that Don Barrett really exists! My two favorite stories were: Casey Kasem's tale of being informed by management fifteen minutes before airtime at KEWB that all humor was out, discovering a book of artist bios and trivia in a waste basket that was propping open the studio door, thumbing through it and reinventing himself on the spot thereby saving his gig and laying the groundwork for what would become American Top Forty.

Art Laboe's story of how a long ago make out session on a couch led to the invention of the Oldies But Goodies albums.

The legendary program director truly spilled the beans on how to program a 1 radio station. While the panelists obviously had a few miles on them by now, their souls and wits were still pristine. He was trying to make the moves on his girl friend but kept having to get up to change the ten 45's on her automatic record-player.

And my humble thanks to the ten personalities who reminded us, oh, so briefly on Saturday afternoon, that holiday futures trading schedule radio was pioneered by a unique breed of broadcasters. For those who were at the Museum event saluting the pioneers of early Southern California rock radio, it was clear that the personalities on stage were truly personalities.

For those of you who missed a once-in-a-lifetime seminar, part of their history lives on at California Airchecks, a rich reservoir of classic airchecks for the past 50 years. So California Aircheck became a part-time enterprise after I was back working full-time. The idea was that California Aircheck would feature only Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego, but I began receiving airchecks from other parts of the country and it quickly mushroomed. I would work on California Aircheck from 4 — 7 a.

Through the years and through the various labels, I was on the show probably 20 times. With him gone, Roz took over the whole show and carried the torch. She played whatever music she thought was valid, and her home was a monument to music. Have you heard of anything in town? My plan is to turn this into employment, but my heart is in radio. It was truly heartwarming for me.

By the way, Jay has a Yamaha Mixing console. Do you know the ghana stock exchange market that can use one? I own Barb Bailey Entertainment in Chicago and many of my artists' repertoires are from The Great American Songbook. I am thrilled to see that he is carrying the torch and keeping this legacy of unprecedented music alive along with their composers, arrangers and singers.

IHeartMedia, Cumulus Creditors Broadcasting Distress Signals. Kars4Kids Questionable Financial Dealings. October 18, Kars4Kids commercial is one of the all-time annoying intrusions to LA radio listening. Trouble has followed the organization for years and a Google search provides plenty stories of investigations and charges. More allegations surfaced over the weekend in a New York Post story: Congregation Oorah told the IRS that it was operating a synagogue in a building where the Young Israel of Eltingville congregation is currently housed.

In court papers filed last week in Staten Island Supreme Chase stock market symbol lookup, Young Israel argues that the charity, which rakes in tens best forex trading training company in india millions a year in car and real-estate donations, is using the synagogue as a shield 'to put their more questionable financial dealings through an entity that would not be subject to the same public scrutiny.

Last year LARadio published a story on the organization below and reached out to KNX general manager Dan Kearney for a comment. KNX still runs the spots in heavy rotation. March 20, Kars4Kids is one of the most annoying commercial jingles on LA Radio, if for no other reason than its incessant frequency.

In just one hour on the KNX stream, we logged four of the commercials within that time period. The commercial and company behind it has elicited numerous claims of fraud. Recently in the LA TimesSteve Lopez devoted an entire column to these commercials promoting the car donations. But there are issues with the well-known organization. Cars4Causes has been sued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

In the booming m1a stock options of vehicle donations, Cars4Causes is not alone in drawing scrutiny. Kars4Kids is affiliated with Oorah, which promotes an Orthodox Jewish lifestyle.

July My bride, Cherie, and I just returned from a month-long European honeymoon. First, we joined a two-week Italian tour in Rome and we were dazzled with the diversity of the country and landscape. Our first stop was the Coliseum, where the workers went out on strike that morning, while tens of thousands of tourists meandered outside in the sweltering summer heat. But they returned to their jobs by noon and then time for their lunch.

One of the highlights of the Italian visit was a trip to the Blue Grotto, a sea cave on the coast of the island of Capri in southern Italy. By rowboat, we entered the cave, and were dazzled with a brilliant blue light reflecting off the water. We were lucky on the day we visited the Blue Grotto. If the tide is too high, it prevents any entry at all. When we placed our hand in the water, we could see it "glow" eerily in this light.

Before the tour was over we visited Naples, Sorrento, Venice, Florence, and our tour ended up in Milan where we spent a few days.

Other highlights included a visit to the Murano glass factory, a boat tour of Lake Como, the oldest inlaid wood factory that has been around for generations, and an afternoon at a Tuscany winery. Leaving Milano, we trained to Switzerland and spent a couple of days on Lake Geneva.

This action could take many forms, none of which have been determined quite yet.

We are very early in the process and there are few details to share at this time, but I can tell you that to me this means we are entering an exciting period in our history. As you know, CBS Corporation is a company now focused primarily on premium video content.

It makes sense that it would take this opportunity to explore other operating strategies for the radio division, ones that will allow us to successfully compete in the industry and transform our broadcast and digital businesses.

Our focus during this period must remain on delivering great programming and providing our clients with the same level of professionalism and customer service they have come to expect over the years. I know you have a lot of questions and we will attempt to answer all of them as soon as we can.

We will be in touch with further information when it becomes available. I can assure you communications will play a key role in this process moving forward. CBS RADIO is a terrific organization with an impeccable reputation and rich history in broadcasting. I am proud to be part of its future and look forward to all we will accomplish together.
