Edward Zwart necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 252 diseños de 57 diseñadores freelance.
We want a groovy logo for our new company, Softserv Innovation. The logo is for use in all company documents, including website, letterhead, business cards and other promotional material.
Softserv builds web apps for companies who want to improve communication and collaboration both in-house and with their clients. At Softserv, we understand our clients' business needs. We don't speak techno jargon, and we pride ourselves on being approachable, easy to talk to, fun to work with, and if we may say so ourselves, always up-to-date on the latest trends in our field.
In short, we hang around with the cool kids, but we use fewer acronyms.
We want a logo for a new software company, Softserv Innovation. Although it is a 2-word name, we would like to build the brand around the single word "Softserv".
We like our name, and its wordplay on "software", "server" "service" and of course, ice cream! A logo that incorporates an ice cream cone, or a twist/twirl of soft serve might be cool, but it has to be subtle. It shouldn't be confusing (and see notes about color in the next section).
Here's our working elevator pitch and tagline:
Softserv Innovation helps your business succeed with custom software that makes working together easy for your team and your clients. Softserv's adaptive approach and non-geek-speak take the pain out of building the solution that's right for you.
Softserv Innovation
Your business needs. Our solutions.
Our target is small- to medium-sized businesses who may or may not already have experience contracting custom software solutions.
- a lot of blue and a little red
- web safe, basic colors, #FF0000 and #0000FF are preferred, but don't feel you have to limit yourselves. We I know what I like when we see it, and you're the pro. Teach us!
- If you attempt the ice cream theme, ice cream shop colors might be appropriate, but remember the blue. Does yellow (#ffff66 or #ffff99 -- ie, cone color?) complement the blue here? Again, you're the pro.
- Is there some kind of soft serve ice cream twist/twirl thing you can do with the "ft"?
- Ideally, it is both friendly and professional looking, and please keep it more word than image.
- "Softserv" should be distinguished from "Innovation"
- note there's no "e" on the end of "serv" and no "s" on the end of "innovation"
- It should look good very small, say on the top left of a biz card, one inch wide.
- It should look good with the color removed (ie, after it's been faxed!)
- svg master wanted
- Please don't stack the words "soft" and "serv", or capitalize the "s" in "serv"
- Regarding the ice cream theme suggestion (remember, it's JUST a suggestion; we'll quickly forget it as an idea when we see your exceptionally stunning non-ice-cream idea!)... but, regarding that suggestion, please don't make it more about ice cream than it is about "softserv". Gracias.

The Featured Evaluations
This guide intentionally features a variety of online programs and resources, including virtual schools, programs that provide courses online, and Web sites with broad educational resources. Some serve an entire state, while others serve a particular district. This guide also includes distinct kinds of evaluations, from internally led formative evaluations (see Glossary of Common Evaluation Terms, p. 65) to scientific research studies by external experts. In some cases, program insiders initiated the evaluations; in others, there were external reasons for the evaluation. The featured evaluations include a wide range of data collection and analysis activities—from formative evaluations that rely primarily on survey, interview, and observation data, to scientific experiments that compare outcomes between online and traditional settings. In each instance, evaluators chose the methods carefully, based on the purpose of the evaluation and the specific set of research questions they sought to answer.
The goal in choosing a range of evaluations for this guide was to offer examples that could be instructive to program leaders and evaluators in diverse circumstances, including those in varying stages of maturity, with varying degrees of internal capacity and amounts of available funding. The featured evaluations are not without flaws, but they all illustrate reasonable strategies for tackling common challenges of evaluating online learning.
To select the featured evaluations, researchers for this guide compiled an initial list of candidates by searching for K-12 online learning evaluations on the Web and in published documents, then expanded the list through referrals from a six-member advisory group (see list of members in the Acknowledgments section, p. vii) and other knowledgeable experts in the field. Forty organizations were on the final list for consideration.
A matrix of selection criteria was drafted and revised based on feedback from the advisory group. The three quality criteria were:
The evaluation considered multiple outcome measures, including student achievement.
The evaluation findings were widely communicated to key stakeholders of the program or resource being studied.
Program leaders acted on evaluation results.
Researchers awarded sites up to three points on each of these three criteria, using publicly available information, review of evaluation reports, and gap-filling interviews with program leaders. All the included sites scored at least six of the possible nine points across these three criteria.
Since a goal of this publication was to showcase a variety of types of evaluations, the potential sites were coded as to such additional characteristics as: internal vs. external evaluator, type of evaluation design, type of online learning program or resource, whether the program serves a district- or state-level audience, and stage of maturity. In selecting the featured evaluations, the researchers drew from as wide a range of characteristics as possible while keeping the quality criteria high. A full description of the methodology used to study the evaluation(s) of the selected sites can be found in appendix B: Research Methodology.
The final selection included evaluations of the following online programs and resources: Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, & Students Statewide Distance Learning, operated by the Alabama Department of Education; Algebra I Online, operated by the Louisiana Department of Education; Appleton eSchool, operated by Wisconsin's Appleton Area School District; Arizona Virtual Academy, a public charter school; Chicago Public Schools' Virtual High School; Digital Learning Commons in Washington state; and Thinkport, a Web site operated by Maryland Public Television and Johns Hopkins Center for Technology in Education. Additional information about each program and its evaluation(s) is included in table 1.

President Barack Obama, concluding a three-day visit to Mexico and Costa Rica, is cheering Mexican economic advances and pressing other Central American leaders to deal with poverty and security while reaching out to a politically powerful Latino audience back home.
Boosted by reassuring jobs numbers, Obama is calling for greater trade and economic cooperation with the US's southern neighbors, arguing that economic prosperity is the best antidote to drug and gang violence and, by extension, to the illegal immigration that the US is seeking to control.
In his radio and Internet address Saturday, Obama also made the case that deepening economic ties with the Americas means more jobs in the United States.
"One of the best ways to grow our economy is to sell more goods and services made in America to the rest of the world," he said. "That includes our neighbors to the south."
During the trip Obama has tried to modulate the exercise of US influence. He has refused to insert himself in Mexico's strategy for confronting narcotrafficking, even if it means more limited access by US security officials to Mexican law enforcement. In Costa Rica, he urged Central American leaders to integrate their economies, reduce their high energy costs and confront the violence in the region.
"As governments, our job is to make sure that we're doing everything we can to provide security and opportunity and ladders for success and prosperity for our people," he told the regional leaders at the start of a dinner Friday. "Economic growth that creates jobs, security for people so that they can be safe in their own neighborhoods, and development that allows people to live in dignity."
On Saturday, Obama was scheduled to speak and takes questions at a meeting at a forum in San Jose on economic growth and development.
In addition to its economic aims, the trip served as a nod by Obama to the vast Hispanic population in the United States, which heavily supported him in the 2012 election and which retains strong family and cultural ties to Latin America.
"In fact," he said Friday in a speech aimed at young people in Mexico City, "without the strong support of Latinos, including so many Mexican Americans, I would not be standing today as president of the United States. That's the truth."
A theme during the trip was the US effort to overhaul the nation's immigration laws, an issue of intense interest among Latinos in the United States and in Mexico and Central America.
The vast majority of the 11 million immigrants illegally in the US are from Latin America, 6 million of them from Mexico alone. Obama supports legislation that would give those immigrants a path to US citizenship and he told Univision in an interview aired Friday that he would not sign a bill that did not provide such a pathway. Republicans are demanding greater border security.
"The truth is, right now, our border with Mexico is more secure than it's been in years," he said in his radio address. "We've put more boots on that border than at any time in our history, and illegal crossings are down by nearly 80 percent from their peak in 2000."
The immigration legislation should be a compromise, he said, "which means that nobody got everything they wanted — including me."
As Congress debates immigration legislation, Obama's bullish — even overly rosy — depiction of Mexico's economic prospects were meant to convince the US public and lawmakers that Mexico no longer poses the illegal immigration threat it once did.
"The long-term solution to the challenge of illegal immigration is a growing and prosperous Mexico that creates more jobs and opportunities for young people here," he said.
Mexico, Obama said, has lifted millions of people from poverty.
But while Mexico's economy has grown, it has yet to trickle down to average workers. Huge poverty rates held steady between late 2006 and 2010, the most recent year for which government statistics are available. Between 40 and 50 percent of the population of 112 million Mexicans live in poverty, earning less than $100 a month.
Even as he tried to keep the focus on the economy and immigration, Obama did not escape the issue of drugs and violence wracking the region. In the Costa Rican capital Friday, Obama said the US and Latin America share "common effects and common responsibilities" for the troubles and argued to his dining companions Friday that his country has suffered from the drug epidemic as well.
"If you go to my hometown of Chicago, and you go to some neighborhoods, they're just as violent, if not more violent than some of the countries at this table — in part because of the pernicious influence of the drug trade," he said.
Drug-fueled violence remains an undeniable part of daily life in many parts of the region. Costa Rica has fared better than many of its neighbors, but it worries about spillover from nearby countries. Honduras, for example, now has the highest homicide rate in the world, with about 7,200 people murdered last year in the tiny nation of 8 million people, most in drug-related crime.
Obama acknowledged the role of US demand for drugs and said his administration has spent $30 billion to reduce demand in recent years. But he acknowledged that the United States remains a "big market" and that "progress is sometimes slower than we'd like it to be."
Obama also could not avoid entanglements beyond the region. Questions about Syria dogged him and his aides during the trip. On Friday, he virtually ruled sending troops into the country torn by civil war, saying he did "not foresee a scenario" for sending US soldiers into the country.
In the Republican address Saturday, North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory argued that Washington should learn from Republican governors on how to make government work efficiently. He said governors need Washington to give states more flexibility, independence and accountability and called on Obama to show more leadership.

10 Journaling Prompts for Wedding Layouts
Are you having trouble journaling about your wedding or the wedding of someone close to you? Here are a few tips for capturing the essence of that special day.
1. Put together a list of questions about the wedding day, and have a few members of the wedding party answer them.
2. Write down not only the facts (day, place, time, etc.) of the event, but record unique happenings or fun moments from the day, such as funny mishaps or unexpected moments.
3. Record the last-minute preparations that occurred the few days before the wedding.
4. Record the aftermath once the reception was over. If you were the bride, you'll probably learn fun stories from others about what happened once you left the reception.
5. Take pictures of the guests and write down recent happenings in their lives (recent marriages, births, moves, etc.).
6. Record your different thoughts and feelings about the wedding and related festivities.
7. Remember the little details, such as the decorations, food, who performed the ceremony, what the weather was like and details of the wedding cake.
8. Interview the bride and the groom-ask them what they love most about their new spouse and why they decided to marry each other.
9. Take a picture and record details of everyone's different shoes, including the bride's and groom's.
10. Record the toasts and well-wishes from the wedding guests.
To see the essential pages every wedding album should have, see this article from our sister publication, Simple Scrapbooks magazine.

Rob Da Bank's Bestival festival is back again this year (with a cheeky nautical theme!), which contributes to my general impression that New Order's 2012 headline set did not in fact sink the Isle of Wight with the force of its brilliance, that a live recording is not the single most sought after artefact of the twenty-first century.
So what's the deal with Live at Bestival, then? Nominally it exists as a charitable effort, with proceeds raised going to the Isle of Wight Youth Trust. In that respect the band was presumably approached by Mr Da Bank, and would have been monstrous bastards to have said 'no' to releasing the record. It also sees New Order continuing a tradition started by old rivals The Cure, who topped the bill in 2011, and also released a Bestival live album for charidee (though they got to put out a double set – oof).
Presumably, though, one reason New Order were happy to sanction Live at Bestival was as a sort of oblique riposte to erstwhile bassist Peter Hook, a man who has spent the seven years since he left the band prostituting his legacy in the most shameless way possible while vocally accusing his former bandmates of being sell-outs.
I doubt that Barney, Steve, Gillian and the new guy sat around a table and decided they'd put out a record simply to annoy poor Hooky. But putting out an album that demonstrates the current line up's undeniable competence at sounding like New Order is not a terrible idea, given Hooky's repeated suggestions that it's basically impossible – LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE - for anyone else to cover his bass parts.
So really, job done – Live at Bestival is a brightly recorded set that's only vaguely hampered by Barney's voice, but even that's basically fine – he sound much as he does on record.
It's enjoyable, and persuasive of what an impressively well-drilled wall of sound New Order can still throw up (the teaser intro to 'True Faith' is sublime) and how little the band's songs have aged (they basically haven't aged). But as a rule the lackadaisical New Order and the greatest hits-centric set they tour with aren't the stuff of live album legend, and matters aren't really helped by the fact large chunks of the set have been lopped out in order to make it into a single CD, with the likes of 'Ceremony' and 'Crystal' receiving the heave.
The peppering of New Order-performed Joy Division songs is the big novelty, though I'm not sure anybody in their right mind would buy this album just to hear them: 'Isolation' is too New Order-fied, its chilly bones overly fleshed out with a laidback Barney making no effort to sound even slightly like Ian Curtis; 'Transmission' is better, with the singer adopting something closer to his early mumble as guitars buzz and seethe; and 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' is unexpectedly moving, the euphoric roar of the crowd as it starts up the sound of what this remarkable song has become.
If it's the last thing New Order ever release, I suppose that rapturous version of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' is a good place to end things, an aural representation of that song's 33-year-long journey though the cultural imagination. The alternative, I suppose, is that New Order put out another new studio album, which will invariably be shit. But frankly I'd probably rather this most erratic of bands ended things with a dose of bathos – Live At Bestival would make for a perfunctory final bow.

Going back to school is a big transition, and it can zap kids of their energy, especially during the first few weeks as they're changing from a summer schedule to a school routine.
One way to help them through the day is to provide after-school snacks that'll give them an energy boost but not spoil their supper. Here are some of our favorite options:
- Serve vegetables or pita chips with hummus (chickpeas make it a good protein source). To make this more kid-friendly, use small metal cookies cutters to cut fun shapes out of bell peppers and cucumbers. You can also fill celery stalks with peanut butter.
- 100-calorie snack packs are convenient and come in handy for portion control. Serve them with a handful of blueberries—they're full of fiber and a cup has just 80 calories. They are also a source of manganese, which helps convert proteins, carbohydrates and fats into energy, making it the perfect snack companion.
- Hard-boil a dozen eggs on Sunday and have them handy for your kids throughout the week. Eggs are a terrific protein source. For perfectly cooked eggs, put them into a pot of cold water, bring it to a boil, cover and remove from the heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately rinse them in cold water to stop the cooking.
- Sprinkle a fiber-rich cereal over a bowl of yogurt. Choose Greek yogurt, which has twice the protein and will keep you feeling full longer.
- Honey-roasted peanuts can help satisfy a sweet tooth and provide nutrition. They are full of protein and fiber, which will keep your kids full till dinner.
- Serve up some fruit and cheese kabobs, which will provide both antioxidants and protein. Just skewers cubes of low fat cheese and alternate them with grapes, berries, apple slices or banana chunks. Better yet, you do the slicing and dicing, and let your kids do the skewering.
- If you want to treat your kids to candy once in a while, choose antioxidant-rich dark chocolate over milk chocolate—it's a healthier way to indulge them.
One more tip: Dehydration causes fatigue, so be sure your kids are drinking plenty of water. Squeeze a slice of lemon into their glass to add a little potassium and Vitamin C.

Read about the new iPad Air and iPad mini 2
Read all about the iPad 3 here.
Worried about the rumours of people claiming they're burning their mitts on Apple's new tablet? Well, there's some substance to reports that the new iPad is hotter than previous models, and that's not just talking about how it's selling.
In fact, in a thermal photo comparing the pads, it's clearly visible that the iPad 3 (on the left) is a whopping 5.3 degrees warmer than its predecessor, and that's after 'just' five minutes of running GLBenchmark.
Worry not though, that still only puts it up to 33.6 degrees – a tad warm for comfort, but not quite the iStove some feared and certainly no finger hazard.
This increase in temperature is most likely due to the tablet's extra graphics cores. There are not only more of them, but they (and perhaps the CPU) have to work a little harder too when throwing all those pixels around on the new iPad's Retina Display.
Handy for the cold winters ahead or will this prevent you from getting the Apple tablet? Let us know in the comments.

It was only a matter of time before James Franco, the actor, writer and director who can sometimes treat his career as an ongoing performance piece, weighed in on the recent antics of Shia LaBeouf, who has recently taken a page out of Franco's playbook with a number of spectacles-cum-art-displays.
In an op-ed piece for the New York Times published on the paper's website Wednesday, Franco expresses concern for and support of the 27-year-actor, writing: "Though the wisdom of some of his actions may seem questionable, as an actor and artist I'm inclined to take an empathetic view of his conduct."
Franco recaps some of LaBeouf's eyebrow-raising actions, which include cribbing from graphic novelist Daniel Clowes and then apologizing with the words of others, wearing a paper bag that read "I am not famous anymore" to a red-carpet premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, and staging a Marina Abramovic-ish pop-up art show at a gallery in Los Angeles.
"This behavior," Franco writes, "could be a sign of many things, from a nervous breakdown to mere youthful recklessness. For Mr. LaBeouf's sake I hope it is nothing serious. Indeed I hope — and, yes, I know that this idea has pretentious or just plain ridiculous overtones — that his actions are intended as a piece of performance art, one in which a young man in a very public profession tries to reclaim his public persona."
Franco enjoys toying with his own public persona, bouncing from mainstream films like "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Oz the Great and Powerful" to indie fare like "Spring Breakers" to obscure art house projects like "Interior. Leather Bar." and "As I Lay Dying." He even spoofed himself as a pretentious dilettante in "This Is the End" and played an artist/serial killer named Franco on the soap opera "General Hospital."
As he says in the op-ed, "Any artist, regardless of his field, can experience distance between his true self and his public persona."
Of LaBeouf, he adds, without any nod to some of his own critics, "I think [his] project, if it is a project, is a worthy one. I just hope that he is careful not to use up all the good will he has gained as an actor in order to show us that he is an artist."

Not to be left out from the copycat networks making shows about Silicon Valley, Amazon Studios is producing a half-hour comedy series called Betas. It's centered around four nerds " and their quest for nerd fame as they attempt to crack the ultimate code." One of these shows has to be good, right?
The show is written by Evan Endicott and Josh Stoddard and will star Ed Begley Jr, Jon Daly, Joe Dinicol, Margo Harshman, Charlie Saxton and Karan Soni. Michael Lehmann, Alan Freedland, Alan Cohen and Michael London will produce. It's okay, you can IMDB them all since I just did. [Deadline, Image: gothopotam]

Q&A with Senior Defender Daniel Pavitt
Related Links
Q: With 16 players on your roster being juniors and seniors, the Tritons seem to have the luxury of having a lot of leaders. What role do you play in that mix on and off the field?
PAVITT: I feel like the unofficial leader, actually. I want to be the guy that doesn't necessarily act like everyone's mother in the way that a captain can sometimes come off, but the guy who still tries to instill enthusiasm in everyone while just being one of the regular guys on the team. At least I hope that's the position I've taken!
Q: Having played the past two seasons with guys like Jared Kukura, Josh Jackson and Peter Akman, what is your comfort level like with the defenders around you?
PAVITT: Those are the guys that I feel most comfort in on the team, with a select few others. It's just nice to know what is going to happen, whether it be good or bad, when those players get the ball because the next step becomes so much easier to prepare for. Whether it's Jerry winning a header, J.J. dribbling past three guys or Pete pushing a ball wide with his fingertips...comfort becomes an understatement.
Q: While continuing your solid play as a defender all these years, what was it like to score your first career goal as a Triton on the road against Cal State Stanislaus?
PAVITT: Whenever I think about scoring from a personal perspective, I always think of Chase Douglas who played on the team a few years back. He was one of the better players on the team, always giving 110 percent and doing some great things in games that would certainly help the team. But he never scored in his four years at UCSD! My point being that I was ready to be content with not scoring and getting as close to "the role of Chase" on our team as possible, but I will say that it doesn't disappoint me that I scored.
Q: With roughly one-fourth of the CCAA schedule completed, what has the team done well and what needs to be improved on?
PAVITT: I think that our team has come together better than any other team that I have been a part of here at UCSD, on and off the field. What this translates to on the field is what our coach calls "sticking together," meaning that even in the hardest times when it seems like we're getting hounded by other teams, we will stick together and not let each other down. That seems like it has turned into the unofficial motto of our team - "Stick together" -- like the Mighty Ducks and their "Flying V."
Q: What's the best advice you've received from UCSD head coach Jon Pascale?
PAVITT: Jon has said some things that I won't forget -- and some things I don't remember -- but I think that the most useful things that he has offered us are shown not in what he directly says, but in the way that he acts. It is just so easy to see the passion that he possesses, as well as his assistants, especially in times that we, as a team, need to see that from the coaching staff. There's only so much a coach can say, but when you can physically see the passion in the coach, the words coming from his mouth become the icing on the cake.
Q: Out of all your teammates, who would have the highest chance of succeeding as a stand-up comedian?
PAVITT: I know that everyone on the team will easily agree -- Shane Micheil. The man just has an indescribable energy that I don't think many people can trump. Specifically pertaining to being a comedian though, he's definitely not shy to call someone out on something, whether he knows them or not. Everything he says leaves someone laughing and he's certainly not mean by any regard, but let's just say I'm happy to be on his side! I'm sure some people on the team may want to duct tape his mouth 85 percent of the time, though.
Q: If you had to elect one of your teammates for political office in the state of California, who would you vote for?
PAVITT: Josh Jackson. The guy has a couple passions: Sportscenter and Poker. When it comes to those things, he is an information machine who isn't swayed by any other opinion for the reason that he literally knows every single detail about both things. He would be a dangerous candidate if he translated those qualities into politics. As Californians, we could certainly rely on him to win any verbal argument, and if he lost, he'd go cleats-up on him.
Q: As a Communications major at Warren College, what has been the best class you've taken at UCSD and why?
PAVITT: I took a Communication Practicum class last year, COMT 175, that was awesome. It required us, as a class of 15, to create a newsletter for the Communications website, as well as organize and hold an event for, but not limited to Communication majors. This event would have alumni that were Communication majors speak about success after graduation and what would help aspiring Communication majors do well. We conducted everything ourselves, from the catering to parking passes, and even advertising. It was a real-life glimpse at what people had gone on to do, and it certainly opened my mind to things I didn't know I wanted to do.
Q: What are your plans after graduation?
PAVITT: Pending acceptance, I hope to join the Peace Corps in September 2010. It is something that I have wanted to do since I can remember and I'm so happy that I have finally sent in my application and committed to it. If I get my own way, I want to go to South America somewhere and it's certain that I'll be spreading the Triton Love to the people down there.
Q: Across the other Triton sports, what is your favorite team to watch in your offseason?
PAVITT: Basketball! Knowing some of those guys off the court, they're all so fun so it's definitely enjoyable to watch them and get headaches from screaming too much. Plus, a lot of those guys came to our games last year and heckled the other team so we have to return the favor! This year, I want to be the guy with the body paint. Watch out!
Q: Seeing that one of your hobbies is surfing, where is your favorite spot to catch a wave? What exotic surfing destination would you most like to visit?
PAVITT: Surfing Scripps Pier, or "Scraps," in our own backyard, is my local spot. Whether it's toes-to-the-nose time on the high tide rollers, or shred-the-gnar-ville on the thick twice-a-year barrels, that place is my rock. The exotic place I want to go is probably Indo or somewhere like that. I can't get my head around surfing amazing waves in 80-degree water, so that would certainly be a dream. Shout out to my boy Cheeze, a local pro.

So my DME (a new one after two years of failures with incompetence from NSM) who I'm getting a new TRA through tells me that insurance will not cover XLX wheels.
Well... actually he tells me they will cover any wheels I want, but only at a "contracted rate" of $178 which they are not allowed to balance bill me for, so they won't move forward with the order for any wheels other than the default free option wheels... which feels very... not true to me.
Apparently insurance (Cigna through my employer) WILL cover a titanium upgrade and glide suspension forks, but will not cover any wheels beyond what $178 will get you, which is apparently the stock sunrims or whatever plastic garbage comes default from Tilite these days.
Also he says with my current specs: 90 degree front angle 18" depth, 13" width and I don't quite remember the front height, but it's something like 17 or 18" that frog legs front forks with "interfere with the rear wheels"... WTF? It's very similar specs to the chair I'm sitting in right now, and there is 6" of clearance between the casters and the rear wheels measuring the nearest I can possibly swing the casters... Are frog leg forks really some absurd monstrosity that adds an additional 6" to the rearward swing of the casters? It has to be even more than that because I'm going with a smaller rear wheel (559 from my current 590s) and they tell me they would have to extend the frame an extra 2.25" forward for the casters/forks to clear the rear wheels. I could totally see the scenario where the frog legs might interfere with the footrest, my current casters hit the sides of my shoes all the time when they turn inwards, but he clearly said they need to add 2.25" of frame depth in addition to my already 18" deep seat depth in order for them to clear the rear wheels which would do absolutely nothing if he had accidentally misspoke and meant the clearance of the footrest. Comparing it to my current chair, he is saying the center of axis of the casters needs 9" (clearance on current chair) plus 2.25" (requested additional length) plus about 0.5" for the smaller wheels, which means some part of the casters must swing in a 1 foot radius arc from the center of the fork... I mean they would interfere with EACH OTHER before they would interfere with the rear wheels, nevermind a place for me feet to sit between the casters, with my current chair the center of the casters is only 17" wide. I guess I need to call Tilite and clarify what they mean by this because I can't picture it.
Has anyone run into insurance not covering rear wheels at all (beyond the stock option)?
Also does anyone have a chair with an 18" depth and a reasonably narrow width with suspension forks that they could take a picture of? Maybe they're super longer than I was thinking in which case it definitely wouldn't work.

Automated Poll Says Colbert, Tim Scott Favorites for South Carolina Senate Seat
(WASHINGTON) -- Rep. Tim Scott tops the list of candidates Republicans expect to see in South Carolina's Senate seat this spring, but at least one poll found voters holding out hope for a wholly different personality.
Automated phone pollster Public Policy Polling released a poll Monday saying comedian Stephen Colbert is South Carolina's favorite to take Jim DeMint's seat in the Senate.
Rumors about Colbert's candidacy for the spot circulated last week when a Twitter account with the handle @ColbertforSC cropped up, amassing more than 3,000 followers in its first day of existence.
On his show Thursday, Colbert added fuel to the fire by suggesting fans tweet to Republican Gov. Nikki Haley, telling her why Colbert should be South Carolina's next senator.
But @ColbertforSC, which says it is not affiliated with the comedian or his show on its website, fell silent over the weekend, without explanation.
Perhaps it's because Haley put what would seem to be an end to the comedian's campaign Friday with a post on Facebook, declaring Colbert made a "big, big mistake" when he forgot South Carolina's state drink while interviewing on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report."
But soon after Monday's poll was released, @ColbertforSC started up again.
Next behind Colbert in the poll was Rep. Tim Scott, R-S.C., the man who South Carolina Republican sources say is a favorite among the people of the state. ABC News reported Scott was most likely to take fellow Tea Party Republican DeMint's spot after DeMint announced he was leaving the Senate to lead conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation.
Scott would be a unique pick for South Carolina, because he would be the first African-American senator from the Southern state, appointed by an Indian-American governor, no less.
South Carolinian newspaper The State suggested Reps. Mick Mulvaney and Trey Gowdy might also have a shot at the seat. They received five percent and 12 percent of voters polled respectively in the PPP survey. Another well-known name on that list was Mark Sanford -- the former S.C. governor who lied about hiking the Appalachian trail to visit his extramarital lover in Argentina. His wife, Jenny Sanford, was on the list, too, and beat her husband among South Carolinians polled.
But ultimately, the choice will be up to Haley, and she's not ready to throw it away.
"As I continue to consider the impending Senate vacancy, many have discussed the possibility of a 'placeholder' appointee who would pledge to serve for only two years and not seek election to the seat in 2014," Haley wrote in a statement released Monday. "While there are some good arguments in favor of that approach, I believe the better case is against it."
The South Carolinian governor said she wanted a senator who would, "work hard day in and day out," without worrying about an approaching election.

New records and additions to the Chilean bryophyte flora
Nuevos registros y adiciones a la flora de briófitas chilenas

Bryological knowledge in Chile is incomplete. With the aim of making a contribution to a better understanding of the geographic distribution of these species and encourage bryological studies and the conservation of these plants in the country, the results of floristic investigations are presented. Nineteen national, regional and provincial records for 17 species of bryophytes are provided based on revision of specimens and overlooked literature. The ranges of six species are expanded. In addition, the site of the original collection of one taxon (Barbula austrogracilis Dus.) is corrected, and a second specimen is verified.
Key words: bryophytes, Chile, Chilean flora.
El conocimiento briológico en Chile es escaso. Con el objetivo de realizar una contribución dirigida a incrementar el conocimiento de la distribución de las especies y estimular la realización de estudios briológicos y la conservación de estas plantas en el país, se presentan los resultados de diversas investigaciones florísticas. Se entregan 19 registros nacionales, regionales y provinciales para 17 especies de briófitas, obtenidos a través de la revisión de especímenes y sobre base bibliográfica. Seis de estos registros también corresponden a extensiones en el rango de distribución. Adicionalmente, la localidad tipo de un taxón (Barbula austrogracilis Dus.) es corregida y se establece un segundo registro para la especie.
Palabras clave: Briófitas, Chile, flora chilena.
Bryophytes have an interesting floristic value in southern Chile that it is often overlooked due to a historical bias toward vertebrates and vascular plants in the Northern Hemisphere (Rozzi et al., 2008). For instance, 25 endemic genera of liverworts are present in the temperate terrestrial ecosystems of Chile and Argentina, representing one of the World's richest biodiversity areas (Asakawa et al., 2009). Furthermore, Hassel de Menéndez (1998) reported an estimated endemism as high as 60% for the liverwort flora shared by Chile and Argentina. Nevertheless, central Chile also displays a variety of taxa that are narrowly distributed within a region highly affected by the development of agro-industrial activities and the expansion of urban areas. This part of the country hosts a group of endemic taxa of unquestionable conservation concern to be investigated. As part of new efforts to investigate this region, Larraín et al. (2009) proposed that the endemic species Costesia macrocarpa (Schimper) Cuvertino, Miserere and Buffa should be categorized as vulnerable in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The "fueguian" moss Skottsbergia paradoxa Card. is already listed in the IUCN Red List (IUCN, 2008).
To contribute to our knowledge of this area, this article focuses on the bryophyte flora of southern and central Chile. We present a list of 18 taxa, ncluding some taxonomic, distributional and ecological information, and a map (Figure 1) displaying the new administrative regions of Chile (IGMCH, 2002) together with the new records and additions registered.
Materials and methods
The new records (13 of the 19) and range extensions presented herein are based on recent bryophyte specimens gathered during the last ten years by the authors and their collaborators in eight localities of southern and central Chile: the Natural Monument El Morado, Metropolitan Region; the Altos de Cantillana Reserve, Metropolitan Region; Chimbarongo City, Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins Region; Tranqui Island, Archipelago of Chiloé, Los Lagos Region; Pumalín Park, Los Lagos Region; Tamango National Reserve, Aysén Region; Puerto Aysén, Aysén Region; the Cuervo River, Aysén Region; and Cerro Castillo Mount, Aysén Region.
The rest of the records were obtained from revisions of herbarium specimens (Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, PC, Missouri Botanical Garden, MO) and bibliographic research.
The specimens were carefully studied by comparing their morphological features to the literature and/ or types and non-types. To establish distribution patterns, we referred to Hassel de Menéndez and Rubies (2009), Müller (2009) and Tropicos® (2011) (an online database) and to specimens kept at SGO (Museo Nacional de Historia Natural).
The specimens are maintained in the following herbaria: SGO, PC and MO.
Results and discussion
From recently collected specimens, we report 14 new records. These records were distributed as follows: six from the Aysén Region, two from the Metropolitan Region, one each from the Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins, Biobío, Los Lagos Regions, and one each from the San José de Maipo, Palena, and Capitán Prat Provinces. Six records correspond to southern (3) and northern (3) range extensions.
Five records are based on revision of the literature: Syntrichiaflagellaris in the O'Higgins Region and the Province of Quillota (Thèriot, 1917; Tixier, 1988) and Sematophyllum contiguum, Chiloscyphus trigonifolius and Lejeunea micholitzii from Easter Island were overlooked in the elaboration of checklists of Chilean mosses and liverworts (He, 1998; Müller, 2009; Hassel de Menéndez and Rubies, 2009). In addition, the site of the original collection of one taxon (Barbula austrogracilis Dus.) was corrected to the Province of Cachapoal, and a second specimen was verified for this area.
Annotated list of species and specimens: recent specimens
1. Anastrophyllum involutifolium (Mont. ex Gott-sche, Lindenb. and Nees) Steph. (SGO 157516), Province of San José de Maipo, Metropolitan Region: Monumento Nacional El Morado, Víctor Ardiles y Christian Varas, 01.11.2005, 33° 49' 21,8" S - 70° 03' 50,4" W, 1800 masl. New for the Metropolitan Region. Northern extension of its distribution range in Chile.
The specimen was found growing in wet soil, near a stream, between rocks and cushions of Dicranum sp. Distinctive characters of the species include retuse and dark-reddish leaves with margins that are often incurved to involuted and without amphigastria. Its global distribution includes Argentina, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (Matteri, 1985). In Chile, this species has been recorded in the following areas in the Magallanes Region: Desolación Island, Narrow Harbour, Borja Bay, Brunswick Peninsula, End Sands, Basket Island, Toro Harbour, Cove Without Exit, Piazzi Island, Rennell Island, Vidal Gormaz Island, Virtues Island, Diego de Almagro Island, and Harbour Cutter (SGO 120630). The type corresponds to a specimen recorded in San Nicolas Bay. It has also been recorded in the regions of Los Ríos (Valdivia), Valparaíso, and Juan Fernández Island, in a Nothofagus Forest in Osorno Volcano and in the Los Lagos Region (SGO 106811).
2. Barbilophozia hatcheri (A. Evans) Loeske. (SGO 159658) Province of Capitán Prat, Aysén Region: Tamango Reserve, on the way to the summit of Cerro Tamango, Donna Maden, 02.2001, 47° 08' 44,55" S - 72° 34' 17,79" W. New for the Region. Northern extension of its distribution range in Chile.
This species was collected at 1,200 masl growing intermixed with Brachythecium subpilosum (Hook. f. and Wilson) A. Jaeger. on the ground within the timberline of a Nothofagus pumilio (Poepp. & Endl.) Krasser forest. A complete description, illustration and distribution map of the species can be found in Bednarek-Ochyra et al. (2000). It is considered a Bipolar, Arctic-alpine species and is found in North America, Europe and extending to Japan. In the Southern Hemisphere, it has been registered at the southern tip of South America, in the Malvinas Islands (Falkland Islands) and South Georgia Islands and on the Antarctic Peninsula (Bednarek-Ochyra et al., 2000). In Chile, the species has been registered only in the Magallanes Region.
3. Brachythecium subpilosum (Hook. f. and Wilson) A. Jaeger. (SGO 159658), Province of Capitán Prat, Aysén Region: Tamango Reserve, on the way to the summit of Cerro Tamango, Donna Maden, 02.2001, 47° 08' 44,55" S - 72° 34' 17,79" W. New for the Province.
This species was collected at 1200 masl growing intermixed with Barbilophozia hatchery (A. Evans) Loeske, as above. The species grows in a variety of habitats, including the fissures of rocks, on the ground and on pebbled slopes (Putzke and Pereira, 2001). Distinctive characters of the species include its triangular to ovate-cordate shortly decurrent leaves, with a plane or slightly recurved margin in the basal third of the lamina (Putzke and Pereira, 2001; Mitten, 1869). It is known from Argentina, the Malvinas Islands (Falklands Islands), Kerguelen Is., Marion Is., the South Shetland Islands, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula. It has been registered in Chile from the Provinces of Ñuble to Antartica Chilena.
4. Costesia macrocarpa (Schimp.) Cuvertino, Miserere and Buffa. (SGO 159655), Province of El Maipo, Metropolitan Region: Reserva Altos de Cantillana, Sector Aculeo, Portezuelo Delgado, sclerophyllous scrub floor, 836 masl, Ximena Romero, 03.09.2010, 0317734 E - 6250114 N. New for the Province.
The specimen was collected growing on bare soil and soil among grasses, sometimes related to outcrops on relatively exposed slopes in pristine areas where sclerophyllous forest and scrub dominate. Distinctive characters of the species include perigonial paraphyses filiform without inflated terminal cells, large subglobose capsules, stomata enclosed by two guard cells and a rugose-spongiose exothecium when dry. Costesia is a monospecific endemic genus from central Chile (Larraín et al., 2009). The species has been registered from the Coquimbo Region to the Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins Region.
5. Distichium capillaceum (Hedw.) Bruch and Schimp. (SGO 149227), Province of Capitán Prat, Aysén Region: Tamango Reserve, on the way to the summit of Cerro Tamango, Tim Bradburn, 16.02.2001, 47° 08' 44,55" S - 72° 34' 17,79" W. New for the Region.
Specimens were found growing among stones at 1540 masl intermixed with Bartramia ithyphylla subsp. patens (Brid.) Fransén, Brachythecium subpilosum (Hook.f. & Wilson) A. Jaeger (a new record for the Province), and Cladonia sp. The species of the genus appear similar to Ditrichum but differ from them in the distichous arrangement of the leaves. This species is widely distributed in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It has been registered in Chile in the Maule Region, Los Lagos Region and Magallanes Region.
6. Fissidens berterii (Mont.) Müll. Hal. a) (SGO 159653), Province of El Maipo, Metropolitan Region: Reserva Altos de Cantillana, Sector Aculeo, Quebrada Las Pataguas, on submerged rock at 701 masl, Ximena Romero, 15.06.2010, 0318699 E - 6249985 N. b) (SGO 159657) Province of Col-chagua, Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins Region: Chimbarongo, main entrance of the village, on concrete in an irrigation canal, Jorge Cuvertino, 08.06.2010, 34° 42' 53" S - 71° 01' 54" W. New for both regions.
This species is one of the three aquatic Fissidens found in Chile growing submerged in slowly to rapidly flowing waters (Müller and Pursell, 2003). It was first described by Montagne as Octodiceras berteroi based on a specimen collected by C. Bertero in Quillota. It is distinguished by its lateral sporophytes and by the costa ending 15 or more cells below the leaf apex. It is known from Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Uruguay, Brazil and New Zealand. In Chile, it has been registered in the Provinces of Aconcagua, Quillota and Valparaíso in the Valparaíso Region and in the Province of Chiloé in the Los Lagos Region.
7. Funaria costesii Thér. (MO-2100664), Province of Concepción, Biobío Region: Funaria commixta Thér. In rocky soil on a cliff beside the ocean. Tumbes Peninsula, 36°38' S - 73°05' W. Alt. ca. 0 to 58 m, September 16, 2001, R.R. Ireland and G. Bellolio, No 31631. New for the Region. Southern extension of the distribution range.
The material was erroneously identified as Funaria commixta. The specimen, compared to the syn-types from Los Perales and Playa Ancha (Valparaíso Region), shows slight differences in leaf morphology, possibly due to the different environmental conditions at these sites. The costa frequently appears more reddish than in the syn-types in which it is generally yellowish and concolorous. The leaf margins, which exhibit blunty teeth in the syn-types, are less pronounced in the specimen from Bio-Bio. Description and illustration in Thériot (1921). The species has been previously reported from the Coquimbo, Valparaíso and Metropolitan Regions (He, 1998; Müller, 2009) and is probably endemic to central Chile.
8. Haplomitrium gibbsiae (Steph.) Schust. (SGO 157518), Province of Chiloé, Los Lagos Region: Queilen Commune. Archipelago of Chiloé, Tran-qui Island, Victor Ardiles and Pablo Sandoval, 07.02.2009, 42° 57' 05,08" S - 73° 27' 53,75" W, 47 masl. New for the Region and new for the Archipelago of Chiloé. Northern extension of its distribution range.
The plants were found growing on wet soil among Isotachis grossidens Steph. Distinctive characters of the species include its whitish, fleshy and creep -ing talli, with few leaves, which are bright green, ovate to orbiculate, and transversally inserted. Its global distribution comprises New Zealand, Argentina and Chile (Hassel de Menéndez and Solari, 1975). It has been recorded in Chile only in the Magallanes Region, within the following areas: Borja Bay, Piazzi Island, Rennell Islands, Vidal Gormaz Island, Clarence Island and Ancón Sin Salida. There are studies currently being performed on the liverwort flora of the Archipelago of Chiloé and mainly focused on the Guaquipillan Archipelago, Esmeralda Archipelago and Piuché mountain range, but they have not recorded this species. Stech and Frey (2004) recorded a related species, Haplomitrium chilensis, in Hornopirén National Park in the Los Lagos Region. H. gibbsiae is a new addition to the local bryophyte flora.
9. Juratzkaea seminervis (Kunze ex Schwagr.) Lorentz subsp. seminervis (SGO 160471), Province of Aysén, Aysén Region: Municipality of Puerto Aisén, Felipe Osorio, 45° 24' 25,98" S - 72° 41' 09" W. New for the Region. Southern extension of its distribution range.
The plants were found growing on the trunk of Nothofagus dombeyi (Mirb.) Oerst. This species is distinguished by its sporophytes with erect capsules and conspicuous differentiation between the apical and basal cells of the leaves. It has been reported from Argentina and Bolivia. In Chile, the species is distributed from the Province of Antofagasta to Osorno.
10. Kindbergia praelonga (Hedw.) Ochyra. (SGO 160486), Province of Aysén, Aysén Region: main square of Puerto Aysén Felipe Osorio, 45° 24' 25,98" S - 72° 41' 09" W. New for the Region.
The plants were found forming dense patches with grasses of the genus Holcus. This species is common in urban parks. It is distinguishable by the branch leaves being acute, while the stem leaves are acuminate (MacFarland, 1994). K. praelonga is a common species in the Northern Hemisphere and has been reported from Tanzania, New Zealand, southern Australia and Tasmania in the Southern Hemisphere. It is also known from Mexico to southern Chile along the Andes, and Malvinas Islands (Mat-teri and Ochyra, 1989). In Chile, it has been reported between the Maule and Magallanes Regions (Müller, 2009).
11. Rhacocarpus purpurascens (Brid.) Paris. (SGO 160473), Province of Palena, Los Lagos Region: Parque Pumalín, Río Gonzalo, 100 meters north of the ranger's house, near the bay, Felipe Osorio, 22.02.2008, 42° 35' S - 72° 35' W. New for the Province.
The plants were found on rocks. Postrate habit, pinnate branching, fiddle-shaped leaves, and linear cells appearing to be densely and minutely papillose over the side walls (Crum, 1994). It is known from East Africa, Reunion Island, Madagascar, Indonesia, Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, Mexico, Central America, the "West Indies" and South America (Robinson, 1975). In Chile, it has been cited in the Provinces of Valdivia, Llanquihue and Chiloé and in the Aysén and Magellan Regions, including the Juan Fernández archipelago (Müller, 2009).
12. Sphagnum capillifolium (Ehrh.) Hedw. (SGO 160470), Province of Aysén, Aysén Region: in peat 300 meters northwest of the Río Cuervo, Felipe Osorio, 02. 2008, 658497 E - 4991130 N. New for the Region. Southern extension of its distribution range.
This is an ombrotrophic species found in acidic environments. It forms dense carpets on wet outcrops and bogs. It has a characteristic pink-colored gametophyte, stem leaves with an entire apex and lageniform cells with a prominent neck. A description and illustration are available in Daniels and Eddy (1985), and another description is available in Andrus (2011). This species is widely distributed in North America, middle and northern Europe, Japan, Korea and the Russian Far East (Crum, 1984). In Chile, it has been recorded in the Los Ríos and Los Lagos Regions and in the Provinces of Valdivia/Ranco, Llanquihue and Chiloé.
13. Tayloria mirabilis (Cardot) Broth. (SGO 160469), Province of Coihaique, Aysén Region: Cerro Castillo, Nothogafus antarctica secondary forest biological material (fecal) from Guanaco, Pablo Bravo Monasterio, 26.02.2010, 727.942,059 E - 4.890.195,077 N. New for the Region.
The plants are usually growing on corpses and feces. Spore dispersal occurs through flies (Diptera) (Jofre et al, 2010). Distinctive features of the species that separate it from the related species T. dubyi Broth., T. magellanica (Brid.) Mitt. and T. stenophysata (Herzog) A.K. Kop. are its dentate or crenulate leaves, hypophysis paler than the rest of the capsule, and being inflated and white when ripe (Koponen, 1982). Müller (2009) established the presence of Tayloria mirabilis in the Araucanía Region (Provinces of Cautín and Malleco) and Magallanes Region (Provinces of Antartica Chilena, Magallanes, Tierra del Fuego and Última Esperanza).
Corrected historical records
14. Barbula austrogracilis Dus. (PC-FU-SION14049), In Insula J. Fernandez, legit. Bertero, Barbulaflagellaris Schimp., Tortula muralis var. australis, Montag. Prod. J. Fer. (label inside voucher: Rancagua 90, ad muros, Barbula unguiculata). This is believed to be the second record of the species for the Province of Cachapoal.
The species was first collected by Dusén in 1896 in Termas de Cauquenes (Province of Cachapoal) and described by him in 1906; it has never been recorded since that time. A specimen kept in Montagne's Herbarium in PC and erroneously identified as Barbula fragellaris (= Syntrichia flagellaris) from the Juan Fernandez Islands was examined. The specimen is intermixed with Syn-trichia scabrella (Dusén) R.H. Zander plants and was gathered nearly 70 years before that collected by Dusén by Bertero, it is believed to come from the neighborhood of Rancagua based on interpretation of the collector's number (Rancagua 90) on a label inside the voucher. In this study, the voucher specimen's information written by Montagne (In Insula J. Fernandez) is considered to represent a transcription error. The presence of Syntrichia scabrella, which is a species restricted to continental Chile, with the specimen supports this assumption. A careful taxonomic study of B. austrogracilis Dusén could establish whether the taxon corresponds to a synonym of another species with a wider distribution. It is now known from two localities in central Chile, which were previously mentioned: Rancagua and Termas de Cauquenes. He (1998) and Müller (2009) erroneously reported B. austrogracilis from the Province of Colchagua due to recording an incorrect location for the type locality, Termas de Cauquenes, which is located in the Province of Cachapoal. Description (in Latin) and illustration in Dusén (1906).
Additions based on the literature
15. Chiloscyphus trigonifolius Steph. National record. Easter Island.
Tixier (1988) referred to one specimen collected by P. Cabalion on Easter Island as follows: "Nord du cratère de Rano Kao, éboulis couverts de vigne plus ou moins sèche, limite supérieure de la bambusaie sur rochers, à 50 cm de la surface du sol, en mélange avec Lejeunea, Cabalion 18. Nous avons adopté le nom donné par STEPHANI à un taxon néo-calédonien. Le genre aurait besoin d'une monographie dans le Pacifique".
Grolle (2002) and Hassel de Menéndez and Rubies (2009) did not mention the species on this island or Tixier's article. Therefore, the report should be considered a national record to be added to the liverwort flora of Chile.
16. Lejeunea micholitzii Mizut. National record. Easter Island.
Tixier (1988) referred to 4 specimens collected by P. Cabalion in Easter Island as follows: "Cràtere du Rano Kao, éboulis au sol couvert de vignes et Melia azedarach, 60 m au-dessus du lac, Cabalion 1 - Idem, sur Melia azedarach, 2 m au-dessus du lac, Cabalion 10 - Idem, sur bois pourri, à 3 m de la surface du lac, Cabalion 30 - Idem, sur rochers, Cabalion 31. Espèce de l'Asie du Sud-Est et du Pacifique. Il faudrait revoir le genre Lejeunea; ce matériel est très proche de Lejeunea ecklonii Lindenb. ex Stephani, de l'Afrique tropicale".
Grolle (2002) and Hassel de Menéndez and Rubies (2009) did not mention the species for the island or Tixier's article. Therefore, the report should be considered a national record to be added to the liverwort flora of Chile.
17. Sematophyllum contiguum (Mitt.) Mitt. National record. Easter Island.
Tixier (1988) referred to 2 specimens collected by P. Cabalion on Easter Island as follows: "Éboulis rocheux sur le cratère de Rano Kao, sur rochers, 700 m au-dessus du lac, Cabalion 6 - Cratère de Rano Kao, en fôret sur rochers, 2 m au-dessus de l'eau, Cabalion 27. Espèce ubiquiste".
Ireland and Bellolio (2002) and Müller (2009) did not mention the species for the island or Tixier's article. Therefore, the report should be considered a national record to be added to the moss flora of Chile.
18. Syntrichia flagellaris (Schimp.) Zand. Reported here for the Province of Quillota (a) and the Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins Region (b).
Thériot (1917) cited two specimens gathered by Bertero in Quillota and Rancagua (the Valparaiso and Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins Regions, respectively). This endemic moss has been reported from the Provinces of Valparaíso, Santiago, Valdivia, Aysén and Magallanes. It has also been reported from the Juan Fernandez Islands. Its morphological characters were described by Cano and Gallego (2008). Further information is given in the original description by Schimper (1836) under the name of Barbula flagellaris and by Montagne (1850) under the name Tortula flagellaris. A detailed illustration is available in Schimper (1836).
