Chick Corea: What Game Shall We Play Today? The players: Chick Corea, electric piano Joe Farrell, flutes, soprano sax Flora Purim, vocals, percussion Stan Clarke, electric bass, double bass Airto Moreira, drums, percussion This reminds me of a cross between Vince Guaraldi and the TV (Sesame Street, 3-2-1 Contact, the Electric Company) I watched as a kid.
Powered by Nate Wilson’s prodigious Hammond skills, Ferrell’s subtle guitar work, Powley’s singing and lyrics, and a strong rhythm section, that version of Percy Hill toured heavily across New England and beyond between 1993-1996 and was mentioned along with moe., Ominous Seapods, and Strangefolk as one the nascent jam-scene’s surging second tier of up-and-coming bands.

In response to my first post on joint monopsony conduct to countervail monopoly power, Mike Ward raises the issue of justifying a merger among sellers on the basis that it will countervail alleged monopsony power. Labor unions have an antitrust exemption for just that purpose. In terms of merger policy, Tom Campbell has written an [...]
Why not do an academic study on data provided by the FTC/DOJ? Antitrust lawyers know the goal in a merger case is to preserve -- or restore -- competition, but the competitive concerns must be balanced against the economic realities, Wales says. But officials at the DOJ have argued the...

Just before the first pitch of Tuesday's game at Fenway Park, I saw someone in the front row behind the backstop screen also put on an umpire's mask. He and his friend were often out of the TV frame, but when right-handed hitters were batting, you could sometimes see them, mimicking (or shadowing) the home plate umpire's every move and utterance -- every strike call and foul tip, putting up fingers...
