<p>Thanks for this a lot. I had no idea that the Ivies had <20% NMFs… thought it would have been much more. As a potential NMF, this looks VERY good.</p>

<p>I added them up… 2,273. But aren’t there 15,000 total?</p>

<p>I don’t think these numbers are right. <a href=“http://phoenix.bizjournals.com/phoenix/stories/2007/01/08/daily35.html[/url]”>http://phoenix.bizjournals.com/phoenix/stories/2007/01/08/daily35.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
