WRFL, UK’s student-run radio station, ishome to a show centered on the gay communi-ty.

On Friday afternoons when many studentsare putting the work of the week behind them, agroup of students assemble live in-studio andprepare for a serious conversation.

Outloud! has been a part of UK’s radio land-scape since fall 2009 and has sparked discussionon topics that matter to the gay, lesbian, bisexualand transgender communities.

Vincent Purcell, who hosts Outloud!, alongwith a few of his friends, got the idea to adapt“OUTsource OUTloud,” a program that had pre-viously broadcast on WRFL. The current rein-carnation features panel discussions on newsboth international and local that pertains to whatPurcell lumps together as “queer” culture.

Recent topics discussed on the show rangefrom news about the UK Gay Straight Allianceto a conversation about a pride parade in Siberiaand the recent suicides of gay students attrib-uted to bullying.

“We believe that the gay rights movement isa part of the greater civil rights movement thathas been going on for decades,” Purcell said,

PHOTOS BY MIKE WEAVER | STAFFUK running back Derrick Locke dives for the end zone but comes up short during the second half of the game against Tennessee at Neyland Stadium.

WASHED AWAY WISHES

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Thestreak continues.

In his first year in charge ofhis alma mater, UK head coachJoker Phillips, who began histenure with a win over bitter ri-val Louisville, couldn’t musterthe same result in UK’s regularseason finale. The rival Ten-nessee Volunteers extended thenation’s longest current winningstreak of one team versus anoth-er with a 24-14 win over UK —their 26th consecutive victoryover the Cats.

All week, UK players andcoaches privately emphasizedthe number 517: presumably thenumber of points the TennesseeVolunteers (6-6, 3-5 Southeast-ern Conference) had outscoredthe Cats (6-6, 2-6 SEC) duringthe streak. On Saturday, the onlynumbers that mattered to Phillips

and his players were those in thefinal score, which Phillips saidconcluded “a season of missedopportunities.”

“I’ve never been in a gamewhere you felt you had as muchas control of the game, going fora chance to go up 14, but howquickly events change,” saidPhillips, whose team also lostclose SEC affairs to Ole Miss,Auburn, Georgia and MississippiState this season. “What we didis give those guys a chance. Wegave them life with our ex-change problems at the goal linewith a chance to go up 14, andthen we let them get behind usnumerous times with big plays inthe passing game.”

The game was a topsy-turvyaffair with major momentumshifts throughout, particularly inthe first half.

Tennessee freshman wide re-ceiver Da’Rick Rogers openedthe game with a 78-yard kickoff

return to put the Vols in primescoring position, though the Volsfailed to capitalize on the chancefor early points after missing a28-yard field goal attempt wideleft.

UK, which has been plagued

by slow starts all year, respondedby marching 80 yards in 10 playson its opening drive, capped by a17-yard touchdown run by seniortailback Derrick Locke.

UK running back Derrick Locke fumbles the ball into the end zone duringthe first half of Saturday’s game against Tennessee.

The UK volleyball team hassomething to be thankful for af-ter this holiday weekend.

For a school-record sixthseason in a row the Cats wereselected into the 64-team fieldfor the NCAA tournament Sun-day afternoon, according to aUK Athletics news release.

It is the sixth time in sixseasons UK head coach CraigSkinner’s team will play in thetournament, and the 12th timein school history that the Catswill participate in postseason

play.Skinner and his squad will

head to West Lafayette, Ind., totake on the No. 16 overall seed,the Purdue Boilermakers.

“We are excited to start theNCAA Tournament,” Skinnersaid in the news release. “We’veplayed a lot of good teams thisyear to prepare us for this. Pur-due is playing very well rightnow, so we will really need tofocus in this week.”

UK (17-13, 11-9 SEC) wonthree of its last four matches, in-cluding matches at home againstNo. 15 Louisiana State and atMississippi, to propel itself into

the field.Despite ending its season

with a straight-set loss to theTennessee Volunteers, UK didenough in the eyes of the selec-tion committee to earn itself abid to the tournament.

UK faced Purdue in WestLafayette in the NCAA tourna-ment in 2006. The teams playedin the second round of the tour-nament, with the Boilermakersprevailing over the Cats instraight sets. In 17 previousmeetings overall between thetwo schools, Purdue holds aslim 9-8 edge in the series. Pur-due is led by offensive play-makers Ariel Turner and JaclynHart, who combine for 4.96kills per set, as well as defen-sive specialist Carly Cramer,

who leads the team with 4.01digs per set.

The winner of the UK-Pur-due match will face the victor ofthe game between Louisville andMiddle Tennessee State in thesecond round.

Play begins Friday, Dec. 3beginning with the match be-tween Louisville and MiddleTennessee State, followed byUK’s match against Purdue. Thewinners of those matches willface off Sunday, Dec. 5 in thesecond round with a spot in theSweet 16 on the line.

In 2009, Skinner’s Catsreached the Sweet 16 for the firsttime in school history, and theywill look to make it back in 2010out of the West Lafayette region-als.

UK’s executive vice president bailed a stu-dent out of jail Wednesday.

Executive Vice President and Chief Execu-tive Officer Frank Butler post-ed $7,500 bond for ROTC stu-dent Joseph Ches after Cheswas arrested on charges offirst-degree wanton endanger-ment and drunken driving.

Police responded to a callfrom the apartments at 201Simpson Ave. at about 12:30a.m. on a report of shots fired,the police report said. Witness-es said Ches fired a high-pow-ered rifle into the air and driv-en away, according to the po-lice report.

Ches pleaded not guilty tothe charges Wednesday. His li-cense was suspended becausehe refused a breathalyzer testto determine his blood alcohol

content.UK spokesman Jay Blanton said he was un-

sure of any relationship between Butler andChes, but Butler was not acting on behalf of UKin posting Ches’ bail.

Ches is scheduled to appear in court for apreliminary hearing Jan. 13.

LOS ANGELES — In “Burlesque,”Christina Aguilera’s character points to a nightclub stage and says “I want to be up there.” Itwas an easy scene for Aguilera, who had asimilar moment in her own life.

“I remember watching the Grammys andlooking at the performances and crying to mymom, saying how much I wanted to be there,”Aguilera says during an interview at the FourSeasons Hotel. She’s joined by Stinky, abrown-and-white Papillion who sits quietly ina chair next to the singing superstar.

“Thank God, cut to two years later, I wonBest New Artist at the Grammys and per-formed there. And now, I’ve made a moviewith one of my idols Cher,” she says. “It waseasy for me to get into character, in that way.”

The New York native, who turns 30 nextmonth, plays a spunky singer who comes tothe aid of a failing Hollywood burlesque club.Cher plays the club owner. Aguilera sing anddances, plus wrote several songs for the film.

And, she had to act. “Burlesque” is herfirst real leap into acting, a world she foundmuch harder than she had expected. She wasso unsure of her acting skills, Aguilera refusedto look at any footage during the filming. Shedidn’t want to start critiquing herself and losethe focus she needed to play the role.

Director Steven Antin, who wrote thescript with Aguilera in mind, had no doubtAguilera could handle the singing and danc-ing. It wasn’t until he saw her hosting “Satur-day Night Live” that he became convincedshe had the acting ability to handle the role.

It wasn’t just acting that tested Aguilera.Even composing the musical numbers, some-thing that’s as familiar to her as breathing, of-fered a new challenge because the words hadto fit the movie.

“When I went in to write the music, I was-n’t just writing it from my own point of view.I had to look at the scene and look at what themotivation was behind the scene,” Aguilerasays. “Then, I had to record the songs and fig-ure out where I wanted to come from in myvocal approach.”

Aguilera wrote “Express,” the ballad“Bound to You” and the finale, “Burlesque.”She also performs covers of songs by EttaJames and Mae West. All of this was donewhile performing dance numbers full of un-abashed sexual energy that she learnedthrough months of intense rehearsals and bal-ancing being a new mom.

“It was hard, but it’s always hard. As amother, that’s your first priority. I have goodhelp and I had the weekends off, which wasgood,” Aguilera says. “I was a mom on theweekends and I spent as much time as I possi-bly could with him. You just do it. It’s impor-tant for me to continue to work too, so that hecan have an example of a strong woman in hislife, and one that has her own passion, so thathe can then have his own goals and dreams.”

Aguilera says being a mom brings out ele-ments of play in her that she hasn’t experi-enced in a long time, as well as unconditionallove and patience.

She’s needed patience to deal with recentprofessional and personal setbacks. Her lastalbum, “Bionic,” was not a success and hermarriage to Jordan Bratman ended.

Aguilera expects her next album to bevery different because she feels “Burlesque”changed her.

“By the time I was done with the movie, Iwas just a completely different person. I hadnew things to say and new points of view,”Aguilera says. “Now, I’m in a place whereI’m very much in an introspective state ofmind. I’m a changed woman. So, I’m verymuch ready to actually make a new record.Nothing is ever a setback. If anything, it justmotivates you for what’s next.”

As for her marriage, Aguilera says: “I’mlooking forward to the next chapter. I’m asmart girl. There are decisions that I make forreasons and the most important thing is thatmy son is happy and he always will be. He’ssurrounded by love.”

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Astuitions climb in a still-shakyeconomy, college is feelingless like Animal House andmore like Career U.

To prove their worth, 20California State Universitycampuses are leaders in a na-tional movement to measureeducation in dollars andcents, publicizing the salariesof their graduates.

What’s a degree worth?It’s no longer measured bythe number of days devotedto Milton, Marxism and mar-garitas. New data show thatthe midcareer median salaryof a San Jose State Universi-ty graduate is $92,900 — 21times the current $4,440 in-vestment for annual tuition.

“Families want to see therate of return on their invest-ment,” said King Alexander,president of Cal State LongBeach, who with Cal StateChancellor Charles Reed isleading the campaign tomeasure a college degreelike a mutual fund, IRA or401(k).

It also emphasizes howsome courses of study aremore lucrative than others,and how some universitiesare even altering their cur-riculum to cater to the newway of measuring what a de-gree is worth.

University of Californiaschools and Stanford Univer-sity have not followed CalState’s lead in touting gradu-

ates’ median salaries, whichare compiled by the Seattle-based compensation compa-ny Payscale.com.

After two decades in thework force, Berkeley andStanford grads were earningsignificantly more —$109,000 and $119,000,compared with $92,900 forSJSU grads.

This month, Cal Stateleaders adopted a two-stepundergraduate fee hike thatwill raise tuition by a com-bined 15 percent by next fall.UC leaders are looking at in-creasing fees 8 percent fornext school year.

The campuses seek toprove what they’re worth.

“Earnings are one of thereal outcomes you can meas-ure,” Cal State’s Alexandersaid. “And with high earn-ings come many otherthings. Graduates are goodtaxpaying citizens. Theirhomes are less likely to gointo foreclosure. They readmore. They have moreleisure time, and contributeto their communities. Thereare huge spillover effects.”

Many universities haveresisted using graduates’salaries as a measure of “ed-ucational outcome.”

However, Cal State tookthe lead, in 2008 becomingthe first and only universitysystem in the nation to pub-lish its graduates’ salary data.Now other public schools arefollowing Cal State’s exam-ple. Within the next sixmonths, 300 public universi-

ties will post salary informa-tion compiled byPayScale.com.

The data — which onlyinclude graduates with bach-elor’s degrees — show thatstudents with the greatest“return on investment” arethose who do well in techni-cal majors, such as scienceor engineering, at a rigorouspublic school.

For instance, graduatesof Cal Poly San Luis Obispoearn just as much as gradu-ates of the private PomonaCollege or University ofSouthern California — atless than half the cost. Andthe top 10 percent of stu-dents from Fresno State earnas much as midlevel studentsfrom Stanford, said Al Lee,director of quantitativeanalysis at PayScale.com.

Some schools are evenchanging their course cata-log. In Michigan, where therecession hit early and hard,Michigan State eliminatedmajors in American classics,and the University of Michi-gan created 100 new cours-es in entrepreneurship. Min-nesota’s state colleges dis-tribute colorful graphics thatlist how many students passprofessional licensing ex-ams.

“Most parents don’t say,‘Here’s $200,000, do what-ever you want.’ There’s autilitarian streak,” Lee said.“They ask, quite reasonably,‘Will my child earn enoughto make it worthwhile?’ “

Remember Thanksgiving? Behind all of the turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce,

there’s a national holiday somewhere. In fact, there’s a holidaythat’s been around for a long time.

On Dec. 26, 1941, then President FranklinD. Roosevelt signed a bill. That bill passedinto law the national holiday on the fourthThursday of November.

But inking the holiday into an annual na-tional celebration isn’t the point. It could’vebeen made the second Wednesday or thirdTuesday in a completely different month, butthe real meaning would remain the same: al-lowing us the time to give thanks for every-thing we have.

Just a few days ago, I was able to gohome and spend time with my family; I was

able to spend time with the people who love and care for methe most. I think the few days away from school, homeworkand assignments afforded me an opportunity to truly look atwhat was important to me.

Even though we’ve been through some difficult times inthe recent past, my family has stuck together. That’s whatfamily is supposed to do after all, right?

Turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce bury us withoutwords. Football and movies keep us occupied for the rest ofthe day and night. But when I manage to say somethingother than a comment on the game or movie, my parentslisten.

“I love being home,” I said at the end of the night as wewere cleaning the kitchen.

My parents didn’t say anything, but they didn’t have to. I

could see it in my mother’s eyes. My one line said more thana “thank you” ever could; my mother’s eyes said more than a“you’re welcome” ever could.

Thanksgiving isn’t about the food and football. There’ssomething understated about the simplicity of the day. It isn’tabout the early openings of stores; the openings which nowhave crept their way into the holiday itself. There shouldn’t beany openings or any more distractions than there already areon Thanksgiving.

Isn’t the point of the day to relax and enjoy the companyof those who love us most? With all of the cooking, cleaningand television watching, we barely have enough time to talkas it is. Why does a store need to open at 10 p.m. or mid-night? 5 a.m. wasn’t early enough?

Spending time with one another while shopping can cer-tainly be entertaining, but it isn’t necessary. Let’s just take theday off. We’re supposed to have been doing so since 1941.

So take a day to give thanks for your loved ones.Whether or not you had the chance last Thursday, just take aday and give thanks.

Giving thanks, no turkey necessary

There is a theoretical hero among us, but it’s athreat to public opinion and U.S. foreign policy.

The public has an inalienable right to know aboutgovernment corruption, but if certaininformation puts foreign policy at risk,I’d prefer to keep it quarantined,locked and guarded in confidentialquarters.

WikiLeaks, a whistleblower web-site committed to disclosing classi-fied government, military and corpo-rate documents, is radically enforcingtransparency and accountability ofthe U.S. government — against itswill.

On Sunday, WikiLeaks releasedroughly a quarter-million confidential

American diplomatic cables. About 11,000 of the docu-ments were labeled “secret.”Publications including theNew York Times, Britain’s The Guardian, Spain’s ElPais and France’s Le Monde have subsequently siftedthrough the heap of documents and published thosethey deemed “most interesting.”

The New York Times has chosen to publish infor-mation “illuminating aspects of American Foreign Poli-cy” and excised intelligence that could aid enemies tothe U.S.

As part of a series of New York Times articles pub-lished yesterday, the editor noted, “the Times believesthat the documents serve an important public interest,illuminating the goals, successes, compromises andfrustrations of American diplomacy in a way that otheraccounts cannot match.”

Evgeny Morozov, the author of “The Net Delusion:The Dark Side of Internet Freedom” told the New YorkTimes, “WikiLeaks is what happens when the entireU.S. government is forced to go through a full-bodyscanner.”

Much like the newly TSA-implemented scanners atthe airport, this exposure has spurred an uproar.

Such information revealed by WikiLeaks and pub-lished in newspapers around the world include an al-liance between Vladimir Putin and Silvio Berlusconi,the U.S.’ failure to prevent a Syrian arms race andclosed-door comments by U.S. ambassadors regardingforeign leaders.

Although the classified information has alreadybeen made public, newspapers and media outlets mustconsider the implications of the information they chooseto publish. In the words of ProPublica Editor-in-chief,“WikiLeaks is not AP.”

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, is a journal-ist and former Internet hacker. His work has paralyzedthe U.S. governments, and according to Harold Koh,State Department legal adviser, the released documentswill have “grave consequences” for journalists, humanrights activists and troops.

While Assange has “heroically” pursued truth’s pre-vail over corruption, it seems he has attacked the wrongtarget.

On the Cats’ ensuing pos-session, they drove the ball tothe Tennessee 1-yard lineonly to see Locke fumble theball into the end zone and theball recovered by Vols seniorlinebacker Nick Reveiz.

“As far as momentum, ithurt,” senior quarterbackMike Hartline said. “We defi-nitely needed those points,and that’s just one thing youcan’t do down there.”

The momentum pendu-lum swung in favor of theVols and gave hope to the101,170 fans in Neyland Sta-dium that history might yetrepeat itself; the Vols’ nexttwo possessions showcasedan aerial attack by freshmanquarterback Tyler Bray, whocompleted four pass plays of10-plus yards, including 11-and 12-yard touchdown pass-es to senior receivers GeraldJones and Denarius Moore,respectively.

Despite the Vols havingnegative seven rushing yardsand nine minutes of posses-sion at halftime, they led by atouchdown.

“This is a tough place to

play when the momentumgets on their side and the fansget into it,” UK wide re-ceivers coach and former Vol-unteer quarterback Tee Martinsaid. “I felt it a little bit earlyin the game.”

On the opening drive ofthe second half, UK complet-ed an 11-play, 76-yard drivecapped by a two-yard touch-down pass to Tennessee na-tive and freshman tight endTyler Robinson to knot thegame at 14.

Following a three-and-outby the UK defense on theVols’ opening drive of thesecond half, momentum hadappeared to shift in favor ofUK once again, but the Volsfaked a punt deep in theirown territory on fourth down,converted the first down andlater drove the ball into UKterritory quelling the Cats’momentum.

The UK offense neverreplicated the same rhythm ofits second-half opening driveafterward, and the Vols tookthe lead by virtue of a 2-yardtouchdown run by junior tail-back Tauren Poole late in thethird quarter. The Vols latertacked on a 36-yard field goalin the last stanza.

Though the Cats had theiropportunities to seize the

game, execution or lackthereof, was what coachesand players pointed to as thedeciding factor.

“I legitimately think twoteams beat us (this season)and we lost the rest of them,”Martin said. “If we play good,it’s not even close, but wedidn’t, and they won so that’sit.”

Disney says it’s finishedwith fairy tales — the audi-ence for them just doesn’t ex-ist anymore. Maybe “Tan-gled” will convince them oth-erwise.

Over Thanksgiving break,“Tangled” generated $69 mil-lion. That’s second place onlyto the heavily-anticipated-by-a-cult-following Harry Potterat $78.8 million. That soundslike a big difference, but thethird place “Megamind”made$17.5 million.

The movie was a cutethrowback to the animatedfilms we went to see in the-atres when we were little. Re-member going to watch“Beauty and the Beast”? “TheLittle Mermaid”? “Aladdin”?Animation has certainly comea long way since those Disneyclassics were released, but thesame primary elements arestill there in “Tangled”: Abeautiful princess (MandyMoore), a handsome love in-terest (Zachary Levi), an evilwitch, a few songs and, mostimportantly, a happily ever af-ter.

The adaptation of the clas-sic story has been tweaked fora modern audience. Grimm’soriginal tale of a lovelornprince throwing himself out of

Rapunzel’s tower into thornsand going blind isn’t exactlyDisney appropriate. Rapun-zel’s hair possesses magicalpowers that keep the story’svillainess perpetually young,and a major plotline is Ra-punzel’s quest to realize she iscapable of living on her own.Rapunzel’s love interest, Fly-nn Rider, is a suave thief —hardly Prince Charming in thetraditional sense.

According to an article inthe Los Angeles Times, thefailure of the recent “Princessand the Frog” animated film,“prompted the studio tochange the name of its Ra-punzel movie to the gender-neutral ‘Tangled’ and shiftthe lens of its marketing tothe film’s swashbucklingmale costar, Flynn Rider.”Disney says it wants moregender neutral movies. The“Princess and the Frog”failed because it was targetedtoo narrowly at little girls.

The Los Angeles Timesarticle quoted one children’smedia expert as saying “Bythe time they’re 5 or 6,they’re not interested in be-ing princesses. They’re inter-ested in being hot, in beingcool. Clearly, they see this iswhat society values.”

The expert has a point —societal values have clearlyshifted. But have they shiftedenough to eradicate the ap-peal or value of the fairy talealtogether?

I would venture to saythey have not. Have you

walked into a Disney storerecently and seen all thedolls, princess costumes andtiaras? Have you seen theiconic castle at the heart ofDisney World? Or the boxoffice numbers this weekend?

Clearly, fairy tales aren’tout. The “Princess and theFrog’s” lackluster perform-ance may have less to dowith the fact that it was aprincess movie, and more todo with the fact that it is fullof voodoo dolls, creepy darkscenes and a sidekick charac-ter, a bug that gets squashedat the end of the movie. It’sprobably a wise business de-cision to make movies thatappeal to a broad audience,but “Sleeping Beauty” and“Cinderella” continue tomake Disney millions —without gender neutral nameslike “Dozing” or “Shoeless.”

“Tangled” may never jointhe ranks of Disney classicslike “Snow White,” “The Lit-tle Mermaid” or “Beauty andthe Beast.” It doesn’t have aspectacular musical score andthe adaptation is less than tra-ditional. Still, our kids mightlook at it one day as the lastin the long line of princessmovies that began in 1937.

And my bet is they willstill be watching them andloving them — tiaras and all.

A farewell to fairy tales:‘Tangled’ ends a genre

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. —The UK football program un-derstands the most prominenttrend of its latest installment.

As hard as the playerstried to sum up their regularseason in other words, no-body could say anythingtruer than UK head coachJoker Phillips could. Theyeach returned to one phrase.

“I think our guys fought,scratched and clawed (thisseason), there’s no doubtabout that,” Phillips said fol-lowing the 24-14 loss to Ten-nessee Saturday. “But wewere a football team thatmade mistakes, shot our-selves in the foot, missed op-portunities ... As a whole, we

had opportunities. I wouldsay it was a season ofmissed opportunities.”

Senior quarterback MikeHartline tried to elaborate onthe thoughts Phillips couldn’t.

“I mean, he’s notwrong,” Hartline said. “Therewere definitely games that wecould have won, we shouldhave won, we were a betterteam at, but we just didn’tnecessarily play better ... Thisseason was tough, it was a lotof missed opportunities.”

Junior safety WinstonGuy felt the same, only inless fluent order.

“He’s right,” Guy said.“A lot of opportunities wehad this whole year, youknow, we missed ... It wasjust the games we were inthe last second, in crunchtime, where we needed bigplays to put us ahead of ouropponent. We just didn’t doit. Overall, this season waspretty good, but we could

have been better.”Even junior wide receiver

Randall Cobb, who typicallyhas more than his fair shareof emotional speech, had toagree.

“Exactly, (I’d describethe season) the same way,”Cobb said. “We’ve had a lotof opportunities to do somegreat things, we just didn’tcapitalize on them ... It’stough, it really is.”

It seemed nobody couldavoid the group of words —neither can the people whoanalyze football for a living.But wide receivers coach TeeMartin believes to have theremedy.

“ ... we’re so close, andthe young guys have to under-stand that the things we askthem to do, they’ve just got todo it unconsciously and notquestion it because you neverknow how close you are.”

This season, UK was“close” quite often. Withthree of its six conferencelosses coming by one touch-down or less, the year can besummarized no other waythan by those pesky words

the team couldn’t keep fromrolling off its tongue.

Heartbreaking losses toTennessee, Mississippi State,Ole Miss and Auburn (one ofthe most disappointing forUK, in my opinion) left theteam wondering what couldhave been, had a few morebreaks gone its way. Though6-6 is the epitome of aver-age, it simply isn’t fun. Thenumerous crushing lossestake their toll on a programand its fanbase, as evidencedthis season by UK.

This season hasn’t felt soordinary for many individualswho follow the team becauseof those chances that fell tothe wayside, instances thatkept UK from finishing 9-3 in-stead of .500. The biggest (andby “biggest” I mean only)highlight of the season was thevictory over South Carolina inthe middle of conference play.

But talk of lost occasionsfor UK wasn’t the only thingcoming from the players’mouths. Another phrase echo-ing around the room follow-ing Saturday’s game gavelight to the fact UK is bowl-

eligible and it will continueto prepare for its upcomingopponent, whoever that maybe.

Though the bowl gameseems to be an afterthoughtfollowing the loss to the Vols,it means the team doesn’t haveto close the book on its seasonjust yet.

It appears the Cats won’tbe returning to Tennessee to

play their postseason again.So in a season of one nega-tive trend, the team mayelude another tendency that ithas seen in recent years. Soat least there’s that.
