Pope appoints top Franciscan to Vatican's religious life department
Vatican City, Apr 6, 2013 / 09:27 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Pope Francis made his first appointment within the Roman Curia this morning, choosing his friend, Franciscan Father José Rodríguez Carballo, to help run the Vatican's congregation for consecrated religious.
The Vatican announced April 6 that Pope Francis appointed Fr. Carballo to serve as secretary of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, simultaneously raising him to the level of archbishop and giving him the titular see of Belcastro.
Until his appointment today, Fr. Carballo was the Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor, the 119th successor of St. Francis of Assisi. He was elected to that position on June 5, 2003 and re-elected for another six years on June 4, 2009.
Besides being the head of one of the largest international religious orders, Fr. Carballo also personally knows Pope Francis.
In a March 14, 2013 video greeting to the new Pope, Fr. Carballo explained that he received the news of Francis' election with joy because "I know him personally" and because of the name he chose.
"In 2004 he came to visit me at our Franciscan General Curia in Rome. He wanted to ask about some things referring to the Church of Argentina and the Order," he recalled.
The meeting lasted for an hour, and during that time Fr. Carballo said that "it seemed to me that I had before me a Franciscan brother, a companion, a friend as if we had known each other all our lives."
"We met on other occasions as well, especially at the Synods, and I was always struck by his simplicity, austerity, closeness and ability to listen," he said in the video.
That Pope Francis would choose someone he knows as the second in command for the congregation makes sense, given that his familiarity with the personnel in the Church's central administration is not extensive.
Fr. Carballo succeeds American Archbishop Joseph Tobin, who was appointed to lead the Indianapolis archdiocese in October 2012. The congregation has been involved in a visitation of U.S. religious sisters that was not well received by all the orders involved.
Cardinal Franc Rodé, the congregation's former prefect, began the visitation in December 2008, to "look into the quality of life" of communities nationwide. In January 2011, Cardinal Joao Braz de Aviz took over from Cardinal Rodé as head of the congregation for religious.
Fr. Carballo was born in 1953 in Lodoselo, Spain. He speaks Spanish, Galician, Italian, French, English and Portuguese, and also knows Latin, Biblical Greek and Biblical Hebrew.
He has published numerous articles in Journals on Consecrated and Religious Life, on Pastoral Theology, Sacred Scripture, Biblical Theology, and Franciscan spirituality.

Future Shock Absorber
In the absence of a national policy on climate change, IC steps up institutional efforts. by Doug McInnis
As the planet heats up, a lot of people have waited for Washington to set an aggressive national policy to curb greenhouse gases. Ithaca College isn't waiting—on the government or anyone else.
For years, a group of concerned campus community members have pushed to cut the College's energy consumption as part of a campuswide environmental movement. While Ithaca's efforts may seem small in light of the enormous problems posed by climate change, they are nonetheless important. Historically, change comes from small grassroots movements, such as the one the College has mounted, that then percolate upward and outward through society. Such movements led, for example, to the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, the 40-hour work week, civil rights, and other rights many people now take for granted. The effort to reverse global warming is no different, although time is very short.
"It is very, very important for institutions like Ithaca College to take the lead in the absence of a national policy," says Sean Vormwald '01, assistant director of alumni relations and environmental studies graduate of the College. And while he doesn't discount the importance of international agreements and national legislation to cut greenhouse gas emissions, "the way to make an impact," he says, "is on the local level."
"Ithaca is doing a lot—more than many colleges," Vormwald points out. "One reason is that we have faculty, staff, and administrators who get it. They realize that this is very important, not just for the larger picture of helping the planet, but also for [shorter-term] fiscal responsibility."
Ithaca has certainly found that conserving resources saves money. As a student, David Ross '04 examined the College's electricity expenditure and found that the annual electric bill was more than $2 million. Saving electricity, when your bill is that high, means saving a lot of money. And as electric rates and raw material prices rocket upward, the savings are magnified.
Among other things, Ross found there was no metering for any but the newest campus building, which meant there was no way to track (and no one could be held accountable for) wasted power. As a result of the Ross study, the College has installed more meters, put compact fluorescent lighting in many buildings, added a digital control system for outdoor lighting, and curtailed lighting in the library where it wasn't needed. The savings from those changes and other measures now run into the tens of thousands of dollars a year.
Vormwald stresses that neither instant cost saving nor short-term financial return is a primary reason for becoming smarter consumers of energy and stewards of the environment. "It's not just about the money," he says. "It's about the environmental impact. There could be things we would do that either don't provide a financial return or take a long time to pay back."This magazine's readers know that the College's efforts include the purchase of two hybrid cars, campuswide recycling that has been in place for a decade, a shift to the mandated use of recycled office paper, and a nationally recognized composting program. The abovementioned campuswide electricity savings initiative and the addition of two electric utility vehicles are newer initiatives.
And this winter President Peggy R. Williams signed a letter of intent to become a signatory to the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment. The letter is the first step in a process that will reduce and ultimately neutralize campus greenhouse gas emissions. As a leader in campus sustainability efforts, Ithaca was invited to become a charter signatory to the commitment.
The biggest single project at the College is the construction of a new building for the business school, which is incorporating sustainability education throughout its curriculum. The structure is believed to be the first business school building in the country that will adhere to the LEED platinum standard—the highest environmental standard of the U.S. Green Building Council. The building is designed to incorporate passive solar heating, maximize natural lighting, minimize electricity use, and recycle water. The project will assure that future business leaders from the College will be educated in a building that exposes them to environmental values.
Vormwald is only one of many at Ithaca who have pushed pro-environmental measures. He began his efforts as an undergraduate when he worked with the administration to craft a comprehensive environmental plan setting goals for managing solid waste and slashing energy use. As an undergraduate he also attended the annual UN climate conference at the Hague, Netherlands. Later, when he returned to work for the College in his present position with alumni relations, he reasoned that other students might benefit from the same kind of experience. So Ithaca applied for and was granted observer status to attend future conferences. In 2005 Ithaca sent 20 students and 4 members of the faculty and staff (including Vormwald) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Montreal. And in November 2006 Vormwald and retired IC anthropology professor Garry Thomas attended the convention, held this time in Kenya.
The View from Nairobi
The purpose of these conventions is twofold—to track worldwide progress toward meeting the goals of the UN's Kyoto Protocol for curbing greenhouse gas output and to consider steps that can be taken toward future climate agreements. All told, 166 nations have signed on to Kyoto's modest goal to collectively cut greenhouse gas emissions 5 percent from 1990 levels by 2012.(The United States, despite being the world's biggest producer of greenhouse gases, has not signed.)
However, in light of recent climate change reports, Kyoto's initial goals are far from sufficient to halt global climate change. A report this year from an international coalition of scientists (see graphic, below) warned that the world is already in for drastic warming, changing weather patterns, and rising sea levels as a result of existing greenhouse gas buildup. But reaching an international accord that goes beyond the goals of Kyoto is problematic, as the Nairobi conference illustrated.
Soon after he arrived, Thomas got a dose of reality when a Kenyan friend remarked, "The delegates will be here to move commas around. And no one will be here to save the world." Soon, Thomas reports, it was apparent why his friend was so cynical. Early on, the small Pacific Island nation of Tuvalo wanted to add an agenda item on behalf of all small island nations. These tiny water-locked nations are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change even though they generate the fewest greenhouse gases themselves; they may well be completely submerged as sea levels rise and fierce storms and hurricanes become more frequent. But the United States objected to the agenda addition. Then Jamaica pointed out that Tuvalo didn't speak for all island nations and proceeded to back the U.S. objection. Since there was no consensus on the matter, the U.S. opinion stood. Tuvalo and other small islands were shut out.
As the conference continued there was more of the same. The event ran from November 6 through 17. Thousands of people consumed a great deal of fossil fuel to get there, and in the end almost nothing happened, as Thomas observed in his blog: "The few agreements that came out of this conference represent modest progress, much too little to justify the huge carbon [output] generated by the 6,000 attendees."
On the last day, at a press briefing, Thomas recorded the biting sarcasm of a Kenyan woman who had seen enough. "I will leave you tomorrow, you in your suits, and go back to my (Masai) people," she said. "They will ask me what was accomplished at these meetings. I will tell them, 'Practically nothing.' " Then she added, "We don't drive 4-by-4 cars, we don't go on vacation by airplane, but we do suffer from climate change."
Back in Ithaca
The Nairobi conference might be reason for discouragement, but it isn't the whole story. Even without progress at Nairobi, the nations that signed the Kyoto accord are busy cutting greenhouse emissions. And so, too, are people, institutions, and businesses in the United States, despite their government's unwillingness to take serious action.
"Basically, people are doing the deed in the absence of (federal) support," says Marian Brown '95, IC special assistant to the provost. "There is enough of a grass roots effort to make a difference even if the federal government doesn't get fully behind environmental issues."
Her own job is a case in point. She works on special projects, the biggest one being the effort to promote environmental sustainability throughout the campus. Beyond Ithaca, she sees progress on a national scale, including a move by Wal-Mart, the world's largest corporation, to save energy within the company and push energy-saving products in its stores. "If someone like Wal-Mart gets behind this," she points out, "it will have a transformative impact on its supply chain and customer base."
She also cites the unlikely success of Al Gore's documentary An Inconvenient Truth, which focused on the dangers of climate change. "It was standing-room-only for the film," she says. "People are hungry to know the truth.
"You would expect that something as daunting as climate change would cause people to shut down. They tuned out the AIDS crisis because it seemed so overwhelming. But this crisis has engaged people."
One reason is that the first impacts of climate change are already upon us—a thawing at the top of the world, lethal European heat waves, drought in the American West, and a devastating 2005 hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico. "There is no area of the country or the world that has not experienced some unusual weather pattern," says Brown. "In Ithaca we have gone through the winter that barely was. We had a green Christmas. We had two warm weeks in January. That is unheard of."
So Ithaca plugs away at the problem even though many of its environmental initiatives aren't covered by grants or special donations to the College. "It sometimes takes a redirection of existing College resources, but we do it because we feel it's important," says Brown. "A more environmentally-educated student means a more educated workforce when they hit the streets after graduation. They will be a more engaged and equipped group when they get out of school and assume leadership positions that affect all of us."
Read Garry Thomas's fascinating first-person report from Nairobi at ithaca.edu/sustainability. Here's an excerpt:
"Wangari Maathai, founder of the Green Belt Movement in Kenya, for which she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, was also featured. . . . She is now Kenya's Deputy Minister for Natural Resources and the Environment and had recently published a memoir, Unbowed. . . . She is a down-to-earth person, with a warm smile, and was the only delegate of any prominence to note that the carbon footprint of the conference was anything to be concerned about."

Salaries rise as storage grows
In our exclusive annual survey charting the salaries and benefits of storage pros, many of them managed to see pay increases even as closings and layoffs sent some looking for new jobs. As data capacities grow, so does the need for dedicated storage pros.
Storage professionals in many industries managed to see pay increases last year even as company closings and layoffs sent some looking for new jobs. As data grows, so does the need for dedicated storage professionals, according to our annual Salary Survey.
By Ellen O'Brien and Rachel Kossman
The average annual salary for storage professionals jumped approximately 3.5% in 2009 and respondents expect it to grow another 3.8% in 2010, according to our annual Storage magazine Salary Survey. In a year of layoffs and losses, recessions and rebounds, our annual survey found that storage professionals across many vertical industries and geographic regions managed to secure pay increases.
The average annual salary reported this year by our 363 respondents was $85,869 vs. the $82,915 they said they earned in 2008. For 2010, these same respondents predict they'll earn an average annual salary of $89,065.
Many of those surveyed reported accepting new jobs in 2009 that didn't include a raise, and placing greater value on job security and benefits. Indeed, the average 2009 salary reported by this year's respondents was slightly lower than the $86,573 average salary reported by those who participated in our 2008 Salary Survey.
Storage professionals who responded to our survey reported longer days, stricter budgets and fewer staff as a result of the economic chill that has tied up businesses from Florida to Canada.
"The headcount freeze is on," said Jean Veronneau, director of storage at Manulife Financial Corp., a financial services company based in Toronto. "You don't demand things the way you used to."
At age 60, Veronneau is a storage enthusiast with 15 years of experience dedicated solely to storage technology. "I'm not going into anything else," he said. "One [reason] is that I'm very good at it, and two is that I enjoy it."
Veronneau is among the many former private consultants and contractors who jumped at a full-time job when it became available during shaky economic times a couple of years ago.
"I took a hit," he said. "I took a cut compared to some of my contracting [income] but there was a challenge. I was going to be an architect for a new EMC solution when I started here. We started out with a contract, which was great, and then they offered me a full-time job."
|Why I love/hate my job
Storage professionals who participated in our annual Storage magazine salary survey weighed in on the best and worst aspects of their current jobs, from technology to tight budgets and free donuts.
Eight reasons to love my job
Eight reasons to hate my job
Judging by our survey results, Veronneau made the right move. The financial services industry he works in reported average annual salaries of $93,798, which is a figure topped only by the $94,513 reported by respondents in the IT services industry. Ranked third was media and publishing, where annual salaries averaged $90,577. These three vertical industries were also atop the salary chart in the 2008 survey.
Veronneau noted that the cost of living in Toronto compares to some of the priciest U.S. cities. Still, our salary survey shows Canada ranking third to last in annual salaries vs. U.S. regions, with an average of $78,042. Only the Midwest and Southeast regions of the U.S., with average salaries of $77,336 and $76,102, respectively, fared worse.
The Mountain region had the highest annual salaries with an average of $120,300. Last year, the Pacific region recorded the highest average salaries at $96,141; this year, the region ranks fourth with $94,375.
Learning curves and certification clout
From Veronneau's viewpoint, storage is a dynamic, cutting-edge technology, and it can be a challenge to keep current. "What I've seen is that the storage skill sets really vary," he said. He's a fan of vendor-specific certifications.
"It's expensive to stay on the bleeding edge, but you have to stay up to date," Veronneau said. However, he admitted that he let his SAN certification with EMC Corp. lapse recently. "It had to be renewed, but I've been too busy to go out and get it," he said.
In an EMC shop, Veronneau said, every six or nine months customers get an announcement letter with a "90,000-foot view of what's happening. But you have to drill into that." He believes his EMC certifications over the years have helped get his resume noticed, and he looks for some certifications when making staffing recommendations.
Much has been made of the value -- or lack of value -- of certifications in the storage industry. A survey by Vero Beach, Fla.-based Foote Partners LLC, released in the second quarter of this year, showed the average salary increase for holders of a single certification was at 7.5% of base pay this year vs. a peak of 8.6% in 2001.
According to our 2009 Salary Survey, there was no significant benefit to having one or two certifications, but having three or four certifications did translate to higher salaries for our respondents. Those without any certifications averaged an annual salary of $85,277, slightly higher than respondents with one or two certifications. But storage pros with three certifications reported average salaries of $96,053. At four certifications, the average salaries peaked at $96,400, but then dipped to $82,858 for those with five or more.
In the Foote Partners survey, several storage-specific technology certifications did buck the trend and manage to rise in value in 2009, including the EMC Technology Architect (EMCTA) and the EMC Proven Professional Certification program.
Mike Horvath, 38, is one of three data storage administrators at Fifth Third Bank in Cincinnati, and a relative storage newbie, with 15 years of IT experience but just two in storage.
In his opinion, the lack of documentation, the need for new application knowledge depending on the environment and the learn-as-you-go aspect of storage management mean certifications quickly lose value.
"What I found is that there are two kinds of people -- one that was book smart and one that knew the job," Horvath said. A single father with a three-year-old daughter, Horvath has carved out a long-term plan for his career that relies on excelling at storage.
"The next 15 years will be spent digging deep into storage," he said. "Finding out everything I can about allocation, storage management. I intend to go into consulting because I've done it before."
A resume that's chock full of dedicated storage experience does mean fatter paychecks for storage professionals, according to our survey. College graduates who spent more than five years specializing in storage did reap the rewards. The average salary for those graduates with three to five years dedicated storage experience was $88,717. That jumped to $95,440 for college graduates with six to 10 years of dedicated storage experience. At 10 years, salaries rose to $105,921.

The new value of benefits
Storage professional Troy Downing began job hunting in a tough economy, just as his employer of 13 years was being acquired. Within a month of searching, Downing landed a position at Rain and Hail L.L.C. in Des Moines, Iowa, where he has been a member of a two-person storage team for the last two years. Today, Downing earns a smaller base salary than he did at his longtime employer, but his top-notch benefits package makes up for the difference.
"Maybe my base pay doesn't look as good, but our [healthcare payments] are zero. Zero. There's no premium," Downing explained. "Knowing what I was paying in the past … that's worth $12,000."
Downing's new benefits plan means that he pays only a small fee for office co-pays, and there's no healthcare withdrawal from his paycheck. He also has a flex spending account of $1,200 to offset costs that aren't otherwise covered.
With the rising cost of healthcare at the center of national debates, many storage professionals said they're placing greater emphasis on their benefits than before.
However, satisfaction with overall benefits packages dipped in 2009 vs. 2008. In 2009, 64% of respondents rated their company benefits as good, very good or excellent vs. 73% last year. And in 2009, more of our respondents reported working at companies that reduced benefits. In 2008, 18% said their benefits packages were reduced vs. 30% in 2009, reflecting a widespread trend at companies looking to keep their doors open and their margins appealing to Wall Street.
"A lot of my friends in town took pay cuts -- a lot of mandatory pay cuts," Downing said. "Watching that, I feel fortunate I ended up where I ended up."
Expanding storage, bigger paycheck
For Downing, another draw in changing jobs was the opportunity to work on server and storage virtualization projects. "I'd like my two primary focuses to be storage and virtualization," he said. At Rain and Hail, Downing is also part of a dedicated, albeit small, storage team, which is a selling point for many of our respondents who said they believe dedicated storage teams are essential to a company understanding the overall value of storage.
In general, the likelihood of having a dedicated storage team increases with the size of the company, according to our survey. At companies with revenue of less than $50 million, only 20% of our respondents reported having a dedicated storage group in place. At companies with revenue between $501 million and $1 billion, that number rose to 34.7%. And a whopping 68% of companies with revenue ranging between $5.1 billion and $10 billion had dedicated storage teams, which suggests that larger companies may be putting more emphasis on and committing more resources to their storage systems.
Downing has seen storage capacity double to just under a petabyte in the last 18 months, growing at a rate of approximately 10% to 15% a year. Repeating a trend that appeared in our 2008 survey, the current survey showed storage salaries growing as installed storage capacity does.
Those who managed between 1 TB and 9 TB had an average salary of $73,646, while the average salary for those who managed between 10 TB and 99 TB spiked to $82,666. Above 500 TB, the average salary jumped to $104,441. Survey respondents who reported no storage capacity growth in 2009 received average salaries of $82,250. For those whose shops experienced capacity growth of 10% to 40%, there were incremental salary increases. Above 40% growth, however, there was a more significant rise: respondents at companies whose storage grew between 41% and 50% reported average salaries of $91,588 vs. $84,226 for those at firms with storage growth between 31% to 40%.
When it comes to salaries and company size, our 2009 survey revealed that only storage professionals at the very largest of companies -- those with more than $10 billion in revenue -- saw any dramatic increases. Those who worked at companies with revenue of $10 billion and beyond reported average salaries of $99,588 -- nearly $3,000 higher than last year's average for this group.

Commutes, kids and job security
At a time when many retirement funds are dwindling, Eric Hess, a 35-year-old operations engineer at the College of American Pathologists in Northfield, Ill., said his 401(k) is a key factor in his job satisfaction.
The non-profit organization contributes 15% of each employee's total pay into a 401(k) every six months, regardless of whether the employee is also contributing. That 401(k) benefit, Hess said, "is probably the most valued out of the college." While Hess' healthcare premiums didn't rise last year, he said, they have doubled since he arrived at the college approximately seven years ago.
Hess is a member of the newly formed work-life balance committee at the college. "They want to know if any team members are dissatisfied," Hess said of the committee, which consists of eight people and meets periodically to field employee requests and address employee concerns.
Echoing a sentiment expressed by many of our respondents, Hess said storage technology keeps him engaged and committed. "From the time I have been here -- the last 7 years -- we've gone to 1 Gig switches to 8 Gig switches. That shows you the growth and the potential that has happened," he said.
Jeffrey Lawrence, a contractor and senior systems engineer at the Asymmetric Warfare Group at Fort George G. Meade in Maryland, recently accepted a position at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Married with five children ranging in age from one to 19, Lawrence is looking forward to the stability of a government job.
Lawrence took rising gas prices and a shorter commute into account. The annual salary at his new job will be lower than his current contract rate. However, Lawrence, 39, will be commuting on the train and the government provides a $250 monthly stipend for employees who use public transportation.
Heading into 2010, the key factor driving Lawrence is job security, he said. "As a civilian contractor, it's a very vulnerable time," he said. "But now that I'm going to the government side I feel a lot safer. That's a major factor for me."

Back in December, I wrote how my family cut the cord. It was basically a financial decision — our cable bill was growing from $120 to $180 a month and that seemed ludicrous considering how few TV shows watched. So we joined the 60M Americans that use only over-the-air signal. Surprisingly, we've survived and we're not going back. In case you're thinking about it, here's what you can expect if/when you take this route:
1. The first two weeks without cable are the toughest! When I shared my decision with my oldest, he cried saying his world was coming to an end. And for the first two weeks, it felt that way because we constantly swarmed around the television looking for background or "filler" shows that we would watch whenever the TV was on. Luckily by the third week, we finally stopped looking for them and started doing other things.
2. You will miss your DVR. With cable, I used to record primetime shows and then wait 10 minutes just so that I could rewind them to the beginning and skip the commercials. I could also pause a show whenever there was an interruption. Once I cut off cable, I had two options: attempt to watch it live (and hope that you don't get interrupted) or wait a day and watch it for "free" online. The frustrating part about online shows is that you have to sit through several 3 minute commercial breaks. It seems no different then cable until you realize that the commercials tend to repeat over and over, and there are only so many times that you're willing to listen to the Internet Explorer 10 jingle!

Edwin J. Perkins and Sherry Levinson UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PARTNERSHIP ACCOUNTING IN A NINETEENTH CENTURY MERCHANT BANKING HOUSE Abstract: This article focuses on the contents of two nineteenth-century letters which discuss the allocation of income among the partners of a leading Anglo-American merchant banking firm, the House of Brown. The writers debate alterna-tive methods of valuing assets and determining yearly income. In addition, the handling of doubtful accounts and their subsequent collection is examined. In both letters the writers argue for the development of clearly defined accounting princi-ples and consistency in applying them. These letters reveal that an unusually high degree of financial sophistication had emerged in the merchant banking field by the 1850s. While much of the recent historical literature has been devoted to analyses of business and railroad operations in the nineteenth century, the accounting methods and contributions of banking firms have remained relatively unexplored.1 Now two previously unpub-lished letters written in the mid-nineteenth century by partners of the House of Brown, a leading Anglo-American merchant banking firm, offer new insight into the evolution of accounting methods and the emerging degree of sophistication in accounting thought. These letters indicate that some of the senior members of the firm were acutely aware of the problems associated with the develop-ment of principles and procedures for determining and allocating partnership profits in an equitable and consistent manner. The issues which stimulated discussion within the firm were con-troversies over, first, alternative methods of valuing assets and con-sequently the calculation of yearly income and, second, the collec-tion of funds on doubtful accounts which had been written off directly against the senior partners' capital accounts. In both letters the writers expressed very conservative attitudes about the valua-tion of assets and the measurement of income. The firm was founded in 1800 by Alexander Brown, who emigrated to Baltimore from Ireland in the 1790s. Beginning as a linen mer-chant, Brown soon expanded his activities to include the merchan-

Portland State University has moved up from silver to gold in this year's Bicycle Friendly University ratings from the League of American Bicyclists.
PSU is now in the top four of the national rankings, in recognition of its commitment to improving conditions for bicycling through promotion, education programs, infrastructure and policies.
"It took many years of work and a lot of investment in time and dollars to become a Gold Bicycle Friendly University," said Ian Stude, transportation options manager. "We want to support people making the choice to bicycle and make it as comfortable, easy and normal as possible."
The percentage of students who regularly commute to campus by bike has doubled from 6 percent in 2005 to 12 percent in 2012. The University hopes to encourage more students to try commuting by bike during the month-long Bike to PSU Challenge, starting May 1. Last year, 1,100 riders logged 125,000 miles in the Challenge, which offers friendly competition, support for new riders and prizes such as a new bike from Linus Bikes each week.
In the past year, PSU has added more bike parking, created a low-cost bike rental program and started a new bicycle commuting class with the Bicycle Transportation Alliance. The University also has an on-campus bike repair shop called the Bike Hub and the city's first Cycle Track, an enhanced bike lane through campus on Southwest Broadway.
The League of American Bicyclists this year named 58 Bicycle Friendly Universities in 30 states across the United States. Two other universities, UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara, are rated gold. Stanford University has a platinum rating. Go here for the full list.
"College campuses are natural places to integrate bicycling — and Portland State University recognizes the small steps needed to make bicycling a safe and easy option for students and staff," said League President Andy Clarke. "Young people are driving less and riding more, and Portland State University has embraced that trend."

Owl-tastic! A Winter-Themed 1st Birthday Party
Toronto-based photographer Heidi Lau definitely had a vision for her daughter Kali's first birthday party. "I wanted it to include her favorite animal, the owl, and other elements that reflected her," she says. "She's born in the Winter, and one of the first trips I went to when I was pregnant with her was to Paris, so I decided to create a French-themed winter cafe. Once the theme was decided, I wanted to pick colors that felt wintery and French, so I went with coral, mint, navy blue, and gold."
While this party (photographed by Justin Wong) has a lot of beautiful elements, the showstopping cake really drew us in. "I wanted the cake to be the feature of the party, and my friend and amazing cake designer Sharon of Bloom Cake Co. did an unbelievable job," Heidi says. "I wanted it to feel wintry and cozy, which is where the sweater texture came from, and the knitted snow owl topper really surprised my daughter." Keep clicking to check out the gorgeous cake and so much more that, added up, makes this party Winter perfection!

Finding a Billing Model to Fit Your Startup
Jul 7, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Picture this: You're a young entrepreneur who's had that a-ha! moment that most only ever dream of. You've found your niche, built your offering, compiled an impressive team of engineers and salespeople that checkbook-wielding VCs are drooling over -- you're nearly ready to take the world by storm.
The last remaining barrier to realizing a successful launch of your offering, though, is arguably the single most important decision you'll make on the road to establishing (or failing to establish) a successful startup: your monetization strategy.
Oftentimes your monetization strategy, which is the single greatest influence on your larger go-to-market plan, is what will differentiate you from a crowded field of competitors. You can have the world's most innovative product or service, but it can all go to waste if you don't have a consistent, reliable way to generate and retain revenue.
Over the past decade, as offerings of all kinds have shifted to Web-based delivery, there's been a paradigm shift away from traditional business models that are built around a single "pay and go away" type transaction to recurring revenue models that emphasize continuous relationships and transactions (e.g. on a monthly or quarterly basis) for a more predictable revenue stream.
Recurring Revenue
Modern IT innovations have enabled organizations of all shapes and sizes to interact with their customers like never before, which has in turn created a more dynamic environment in which recurring revenue models can thrive. When thinking about the difference between traditional licensing and recurring revenue models, consider Virgin Megastores and Spotify. Both companies offer essentially the same service -- music for consumers-- but their fates have gone in drastically different directions over the past couple of years. Spotify is now an extremely successful company enjoying hyper-growth, while Virgin, once a titan of the retail industry, has literally closed its doors across America.
Virgin, the established player, was not quick enough to modernize its offering and keep pace with the advent of streaming, online music services. Instead, it continued to place its bets on retail outlets and an online store, and the associated one-off transactions that came with each.
Spotify, on the other hand, disrupted the market with a streaming service that offered a monthly subscription that allows users to stream music from their computers, phones and other mobile devices. The service was extremely appealing to individuals accustomed to paying US$1 per song download on iTunes and other online music stores; for a marginally higher amount, they could consume as many songs as they wanted on a monthly basis. Spotify quickly gained market share due to its large customer base and predictable (and ever-increasing) revenue streams, and soon took Virgin's mantle as industry leader.
Various Models
While it's clear that a recurring revenue model like the one Spotify offers is a solid foundation for any monetization strategy, it's not as cut and dry as it may seem. Even once you've opted for this type of model, there are a number of additional factors to consider.
There are three generally accepted business models that fall under the larger "recurring revenue" umbrella. Which model you choose depends largely on the service you offer. If it's a fixed good like an MP3 file, you're probably best off going with a subscription-based model. If it's a good you or your buyers prefer to procure based on actual usage, such as bandwidth consumption, you may want to consider alternative models.
The three models are:
- Subscription -- fixed payment for a good or service over a specific period of time. Think about subscribing to a magazine: You opt in for a year's subscription at a monthly rate that will not change for the duration of your subscription. It's a flat rate for a fixed quantity of a good or service.
- Metered -- solely focused on usage rates, which can vary on a day-by-day or month-by-month basis. The oldest example of this is home electricity bills. Your monthly fee depends entirely on how much you consume in a given month. Another more modern example of this phenomenon can be found in Amazon's EC2 cloud offering. Users are charged for how much computing capacity they consume each month.
- Subscription plus metered -- hybrid of both subscription and metered models. This is a popular model for Internet and cellular service providers that charge a flat rate for a pre-specified amount of bandwidth/data or minutes in a given month. If you exceed that limit, you're generally charged overage at an additional, often premium expense. If you've ever traveled abroad and forgotten to change your phone plan beforehand, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Another reason that recurring revenue models are a great fit for young companies, as well as for new divisions within more established companies, is the flexibility they offer. Rare is the company that has maintained the same overall revenue model from inception onward; the most successful organizations are the ones that anticipate market tendencies and react before the rest of their field. This can be done by deploying creative means of pricing, packaging and bundling of options, and how you charge for them in terms of usage based, pre-paid, post paid, freemium and so on.
To do so requires a great deal of flexibility to reduce the complexities that come with changing your basic offering, which include associated global tax and payment systems in addition to integration to your existing internal systems. These added complexities are also something that should be factored in to your decision to choose between a "do-it-yourself" billing solution and an external billing partner. While the DIY route may seem more financially appealing in the short term, it can come at the cost of the agility required to optimize your offering in the medium- and long-term, as you look to expand your business into new markets.

The Scandi VOD market is getting crowded with yet another service set to bow, following the launch of Netflix and Filmnet, and with HBO about to role out a VOD platform.
The new platform, Atflick, will launch in Sweden Dec. 12, and then unspool in other Nordic countries next year, before expanding to continental Europe.
Whereas many rivals are focused on a wide selection of pics and TV series, Atflick will host a smaller and more quality-based catalog, said Johan Goras, chief development officer at Atflick.
The service will focus on three models: regular subscription VOD will cost $7.50 a month; transactional VOD, for new titles on DVD and Blu-ray, will be $6 per view; and the premium service will cost $12 per film for mostly exclusive content.

Most strap-hangers have a love/hate relationship with the tube / subway / metro. It's either totally reliable or totally screwed. You're either right on time or squinting down the tunnel wondering where the train is. And you forget what a wonderful thing public transit can be. These awesome wordless maps from LinePosters have the power to remind you of that.
With snaking lines and a simple clean two-toned design, they're an artful look at public transit in cities around the world, from Berlin to San Francisco. They're beautiful and hypnotic—you might find yourself day dreaming of navigating the system in Tokyo, which looks totally confusing and also have everything written in Japanese. Or maybe you prefer the system in Barcelona, which spreads beautifully across the page. They're all gorgeous in their own ways, and each would definitely encounter some primo people watching.

High Blood Pressure and the DASH Diet
DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, which is the name of the research study that looked at the effects of eating patterns on blood pressure. From this study came the DASH diet—a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy foods, and low in saturated fat, total fat, and cholesterol. This diet was shown to significantly reduce blood pressure. The DASH diet combined with a low sodium intake can reduce blood pressure even further.
Researchers believe that it is the combination of nutrients from this eating pattern that helps to lower
blood pressure. Specifically, magnesium, potassium, and calcium, as well as protein and fiber may act together to achieve this goal.
In addition to helping you manage your blood pressure, the DASH eating plan is a healthy one that will help you
manage your weight
and possibly reduce your risk of other chronic diseases. For example, research suggests that women who follow the
DASH diet
can reduce their risk of
heart failure.
A registered dietitian can help design a DASH meal plan that will work for you. Check out the one-day sample menu below for an idea of what is in a DASH meal plan.
Depending on your calorie needs, these are the number of servings of each food group you should strive for each day under the DASH eating plan:
Grains are rich in carbohydrates, which provide quick energy for exercise. If you choose whole grains, you will also get a good dose of fiber and several vitamins and minerals. Note that many bread products are high in sodium. It may be better to make your own salt-free bread or buy baked goods with reduced salt or baking powder.
One serving equals:
Good choices include:
Vegetables are low in calories and have almost no fat. They are also excellent sources of fiber, phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals, such as potassium and magnesium.
Good choices include:
Not only are they low in fat and calories, but fruits are good sources of potassium, magnesium, and fiber.
Dairy foods are excellent sources of calcium and protein.
Meats, poultry, and fish are packed with protein and magnesium. Be sure to buy lean cuts of meat and poultry.
One serving equals 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 ounces of cooked meats, poultry, or fish. One egg is also equivalent.
Here are some tips for eating the healthiest meats:
These foods are great sources of magnesium, potassium, protein, and fiber.
In most cases, you will want to choose unsalted varieties. Good choices include:
Fats and oils should be used sparingly. When choosing fats, select those lowest in saturated fat, such as oils.
Sweets rarely provide any nutrients. Select those that are low in fat and limit your overall intake of them.
It may take a little time for your taste buds to adjust to eating less sodium. Here are some tips to help you reduce your intake:
This sample menu for one day provides 1,944 calories and 31 grams of total fat (14% of total calories from fat).

20 x 93mm ThermoWood
Silva's commitment to supplying consistent and high quality timber products is reflected in our latest material - ThermoWood®. Our extensive supply network has led us to source the finest ThermoWood® available, from one of the world's leading producers of this innovative timber product.
ThermoWood® is produced using a chemical-free natural process. By heat treating only the finest Scandinavian Redwood to enhance the chemical and physical properties of the timber, ThermoWood® offers an exceptional material with outstanding durability and stability.
Along with enhanced physical properties, the treatment also results in an attractive, consistent, deep brown tone for a beautiful appearance. Due to it's stability, Thermowood also takes and retains finish well, allowing for translucent or solid colour stains to be applied to create unique and striking designs.
Thanks to an improved durability against decay, ThermoWood® is well suited to projects facing harsh weather conditions.
ThermoWood® Properties:
- Improved durability against decay
- Resin removed
- Reduced splitting strength
- Slightly reduced bending strength
- Improved dimensional stability
- Consistent colour throughout the timber
- Chemical-free, entirely natural manufacturing process
- Reduced equilibrium moisture content
Logging Selection Process
Only the finest raw materials are used which best suit Thermowood production in terms of type and quality. The timber species chosen are exclusively Redwood, that have fewer knot characteristics. The knots which do exist in the timber are sound and tight due to their structure, for a superb performing exterior material.
In Nordic forest logging processes, trees are cut into three sections; Butt Log, Middle Log and Top Log. Silva's ThermoWood is produced from the top or middle log for a high quality, consistent product, with only the centre of the log used to ensure live-intergrown knots.
ThermoWood® Manufacturing Process
Thermal modification of timber is a clean, ecological process which enhances the properties of the wood. The process is completely natural and chemical free, using only high temperatures and steam to transform and control the timber's characteristics.
During the thermal modification process, timber is treated with high temperature (+212oC). Water vapour is used as a protective gas and heat conductor, enabling heating of the wood beyond its auto-ignition temperature. By heating the wood to 212oC, resistance to decay and dimensional stability are greatly enhanced.
Thermal modification can be divided into three phases:
1: Temperature of the wood is raised, then dried
2: Thermal modification takes place - Moisture content of wood is dropped to close to zero, and then heated to 212oC.
3: The treated wood is cooled down and moisturised to the desired level.
ThermoWood® Finish & Treatment
ThermoWood's dimensional stability provides an ideal exterior material. With improved resistance to decay and weather conditions, ThermoWood® holds an unbeatable advantage in outdoor use. As with all timber, ThermoWood will naturally weather to a silvery-grey colour with prolonged exposure to the elements if left untreated.
To maintain the longevity and appearance of ThermoWood® , it is recommended to apply a surface treatment for added UV protection such as a penetrating oil, translucent finish or solid colour stain.
Silva Timber offer a prefinishing service in either a translucent finish, or stained to any colour imaginable, ready for immediate onsite installation. Contact us for more information.

New York City Population Hits Record High
The Big Apple is getting bigger.
New York City's population has hit a record high of 8,405,837, according to an estimate released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau. The city's population, as of July 2013, increased by 230,704 people, or roughly 2.8%, since 2010.

Tanking in Karazhan
Well, it turned out that we only had one warrior in the raid tonight, so I got to off-tank! It was a lot of fun. I off-tanked trash until we got to the Maiden, where I swapped into healing gear and healed that fight.
Next we went to Moroes. Moroes is an interesting fight. One of the things about Moroes is that he will gouge the tank and go after the person with the second-highest threat. So we have two tanks building threat on Moroes.
Because a lot of paladin threat is based on Holy Shield, we decided to make me the main tank for this fight, and the warrior would build secondary threat and offtank the adds.
So I got to main-tank Moroes!
I did pretty well, I think, especially considering my gear level (go, go 467 defense!). I held Moroes, and lasted until he Enraged, at which point he promptly killed me. But the warrior held him for the rest of the fight, and the raid killed him.
It was a really good raid. I healed, melee'd, off-tanked trash, and even main-tanked a boss. Hopefully I wasn't too much of a stress for the healers.
As well, this was probably the first time one of our guild paladins has really tanked anything, and I think the warrior officer was happy with how I did. Hopefully, I'll be used as an off-tank in future fights. Either way, it's one more option for our raid, and more options are always good.
Now I just have to figure out how to get to 490 defense. I'm actually collecting 3 sets of gear at this point, and it gets quite difficult when you are presented with a choice of one really good tanking item, or one really good healing item.
I also need to get better at watching my health and using trinkets and consumables appropriately.

Good job, show them how it's done! Before long you'll be doing crazy stuff like tanking Midnight and Attumen at the same time.ReplyDelete
I'm lucky, my GM is a prot paladin so I'm one of the two full-time tanks (with a prot warrior) in my Kara group.
If you need gearing ideas check me on Armoury. I'm Gideon on EU Aszune.
Tankadin FTW!!! 20/41/0 is actually what I plan on using with my Draenei. I want to be a viable off-healer, and it really seems that the 16-20 points in Holy are required for that role.ReplyDelete
Great post and I look forward to seeing more tanking from you!
Welcome to the 20/41/0 brotherhood, Coriel. That's my spec as well. I actually made all the same talent choices as you save 3 points - the 3 points in Precision you have are split up into Guardian's Favor and Avenger's Shield. If I may ask, why'd you skip Avenger's Shield?ReplyDelete
As for gear, feel free to armory me as well. I've put together a gear set of 493 defense and over 10k health without sacrificing too much in the intellect, mana/5, or spell damage department, and without any raid epics or heroic gear. My avoidance lacks a little, but it's workable and customizable. I highly recommend getting 4/5 Righteous set and Timewarden's Leggings.

I'm not too sure. I liked Avenger's Shield, but I rarely used it. Solo play it costs too much mana, and in pickup groups I had an incredibly hard time getting the concept of "Let me pull with Avenger's Shield and you can crowd control after" across. And in Kara or a guild group, someone else pulling isn't that big a deal, they'll give me space to get aggro.ReplyDelete
Whereas Precision is always on, it's an extra 3% damage for no mana, more and smoother threat generation, and more likely to refresh judgments when it matters.
Maybe it's just personal taste, I tend to prefer the passive, always-on boosts to new abilities that I won't use that often. For example, I like Holy Shield because I always use it, it's part of my routine for every fight (when I'm solo'ing).
As well, I couldn't spare the points from Holy. If I was going full-tank with something like 0/47/14 or so, I'd definately grab it.
Heh, it just occurred to me that I quested for an hour or so, and didn't trigger Avenging Wrath once.
Wow, great job! I've done a lot of reading about Paladin roles in groups lately on the forums, etc, and it's really cool that 1) you can swap your role back and forth as required like that and 2) that your guild is supportive of you being something other than a healadin.ReplyDelete
Great reading, I can't imagine I'll be writing about Karazhan for another year yet ;)

Yeah, having a supportive guild is the most important thing for a raiding paladin, in my opinion.ReplyDelete
Also, josh, I was thinking about your comments, and if I was to redo my build, I might go 2/3 Precision and Avenger's Shield. Having more options is useful, even though I may not use them often.
BTW, I am enabling comment moderation to stop some spam. Hopefully I will be able to disable it in a couple days.
Having being 13/43/5 since pre-TBC (the dreaded patch), I've been Pallytanking for a good few months now, and I can see both the advantages and disadvantages of it.ReplyDelete
The BIG, and the MAIN reason to use a Paladin Tank over a Warrior tank is AoE aggro. For example, take the mobs in the Ballroom in Karazhan. Warrior pulls and tries to tank, you invariably get leaks in the AoE and people die. Give a Paladin tank with decent spell damage the reigns and no-one dies.
We've also got a lot of mitigation, and once you reach that magic defence number, no more chance to be crit by level 73's, which is awesome.
But, I find warriors have a lot more mitigation and a lot more "survivrability" tanking than we do. Yes, like you, my bretheren, I long to main tank such things as Moroes, The Curator etc (Would say Ragnoros and Onyxia, but I have since fufilled those dreams :D), but it's just not realistic. And since our aggro is dependant on a finite pool of mana, rage is still the #1 tanking "mana pool" of choice.
But yeah, as long as you remember the balance of SPELL DAMAGE, STAMINA, INTELLECT and DEFENCE (mana/5 too), all is good.
Epix Pallyadin tank of PA, Aszune.
I think that you'll like Avenger's Shield, Coriel. When used correctly it is a great boon to initial aggro, an effective tool for 5-mans, and despite the mana cost and 3 target tendency it can be used as a pull tool when properly aimed (if the targets are standing in a line, aim for one end and it will chain to the closest 2).ReplyDelete
I've actually been considering doing the same thing and putting 2/3 into Precision from Guardian's Favor. I haven't been using my Blessing of Protection all that often - I only think vs Moroes I'd miss the reduced cooldown for removing garrotes.
I think it'd be a very good idea to take 1 point from Precision for Avenger's Shield. 1% hit is truly not that big of a deal, and Avenger's Shield (in my humble yet largely irrelevant opinion) is an excellent tool, despite its kinks and difficulties (like the dead zone at short range and tendency to bounce to things you don't want it to in some situations).
Heh, honestly, I think when I was making my build, I locked myself into thinking: Precision OR Avenger's Shield? The option of taking 2/3 Precision AND Avenger's shield didn't really occur to me.ReplyDelete
I guess I'm too used to maxing out my talents.

Paladins are becoming nearly as good hybrid as us druids. The sad thing with pally / druid tanking, is that warriors are getting pissed of. Not in raid but in normal instances warriors are not as wanted as a feral druid or even a prot pally.ReplyDelete

Good Job, is nice to read experiences from other palis. Just one concern, i don't think we must be former hybrids on spec tree. I already took the best from every spec for build my palli tank 10/47/4 and got two set of gear, one for pvp and one for tanking. I never though deal so much dmg as prot spec, but with my actual configuration, wearing spell dmg with a prot spec, i am so happy, is really good stay on first line of any battle, deal a lot of dmg and survive. The only problem with my conf. is i am a really bad healer, but is not a problem if u talk about that with ur group or raid before, and that way they are not going to expect u heal others.ReplyDelete
again, good job

As a priest, i LOVE warriors tanking , they dont get the dmg the other classes got, they got last stand, they got -30% spell dmg incoming, they got bloody shield blocks/disarms and well , its a bloody tanking class.ReplyDelete
I dont have a problem with hybrids like pallies/druids, as long as its not a serious raid, eg ssc,mag's lair etc. For fun raiding schemas like Heroics, kara etc warriors still pwn hard, but if u dont got other option, druids/pallies will do the job.
I am trying to lvl a pallie now, after having 70'ed my priest and my hunter, so i really find it kewl that i can do something more than spam heals and blessings.
Keep up the topic!

im 5/46/10 atm, thats the spec u want to go with if ur tanking bosses in endgame, the int aint that importan anyomore, as we got the spiritual attunement from tbc. U cant go oom while fighting endgame( harder then kara) because if u are topped at health all the time, u will have received mana back, enough to keep u going the whole fight. And while tanking u dont use that many spells really, u just have to spam the few u have. dont use SoR for instance, cause ur going with a 1h, and SoV will give u more threath in the long run. If u go oom, the mobs aint raping u good enough to let the healers heal u, and if the healers are good, they will heal u when ur at 75% HP instead og 95% hp, then u wont receive any mana at all :pReplyDelete
You should check my gear as well. I am Full Prot and am off healer on maiden if they need me as well as dispeller there.ReplyDelete
My avoidance is very high at the moment (557 defense).

After trying multiple medications, cannabis oil was the only medication to help a 2-year-old with epilepsy, according to his mother.
"What nine other medications couldn't do, this is what controlled him, what is controlling him," Genesis Rios said of her son.
Rios' son had almost constant seizures before using cannabis oil, Rios said.
She began giving her son the oil four months ago by putting a few drops under his tongue three times a day.
The oil is high in a compound that slows the brain activity that triggers seizures, but low in THC, the compound that provides a typical pot high.
"There is no THC in it basically," Rios said.
The family made the decision in the face of dramatic failure, chief of pediatric neurology at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA Raman Sankar said.
"I'm not endorsing it yet because I need the data, but I cannot hold it against somebody for trying something," Sankar said.
The boy had no side-effects from the cannabis oil and had begun walking more, interacting and trying to talk, Rios said.
"I really, really want more research into this, because now I have my son back," Rios said.

Last night's gig...
Me & Georgina went and checked out this warehouse gig last night in Manor House (London). We were mainly going to see Drunk Granny play, cos I've never seen them, though my friend Sara who lived in Cardiff when they did too posted their ep to New Zealand a few years ago, which was awesome, and I've been hoping to catch them ever since I got to London. Now relocated to Bristol, Drunk Granny, in particular the lead singer Debi, was described to me as "pure punk" by Sara when she saw them in Wales. Despite Debi being ill last night, Drunk Granny were just what I hoped for. She and her bandmate Sam (on drums) play noise-oriented, kinda dark grrrl punk with total energy, and I loved that they had such an enthusiastic, hardcore fan crew going who knew all the words to their songs.
We were lucky cos also playing last night was Chaps who I've been minorly obsessed with ever since seeing them play with the Corey Orbisons last year in London. Chaps I reckon I can safely describe as a more hardcore/screamo Mika Miko, totally born from that post-riot grrrl, Portland/Olympia punk sound, but, you know, English and stuff. Chaps did not disappoint, and I remain obsessed. I've heard a release from them is forthcoming…
The new discovery of the night was Trash Kit who I will definitely be checking out again. Band members Rachel A & Rachel H evoked a tribal post-punk kinda sound, without the derivative nostalgia, but completely reminiscent of bands like the Raincoats and Pulsallama with their rhythmic and repetitive, pared down, playing-in-the-kitchen sound, and young and raw vocals. I was excited.
Anyway, if you are in London on 21st February, Chaps & Drunk Granny will be playing @ the Red Rose with another of my favourite English queer punk bands of the moment, Husbands ,who are two wonderful boys who sound like pure chaos. Husbands & Drunk Granny have a split 7" out by the way, for your queer listening pleasure:

Jasper Johns has been a central figure in contemporary art since he arrived in New York in the early 1950s. He soon formed relationships with Robert Rauschenberg, John Cage, and Merce Cunningham and began to make paintings that appropriated popular iconography—the American flag, targets, numbers, and letters—quickly announcing himself an important new artist. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, purchased three pieces from Johns's first one-person exhibition, at the Leo Castelli Gallery in 1958. As his career has developed Johns has added crosshatching, marks made by his body, and, more recently, the catenary curve to his collection of motifs. These motifs constitute a very personal language, one that Johns has introduced across his entire body of work—paintings, sculpture, prints, and works that combine elements of each discipline. "My experience of life is that it's very fragmented; certain kinds of things happen, and in another place, a different kind of thing occurs," he has explained. "I would like my work to have some vivid indication of those differences."
Johns (b. 1930) has been the subject of one-person exhibitions throughout the world, at institutions including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; the Kunstmuseum Basel; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
