Reclaim Your Yard this Spring and Get Rid of Dangerous Fire Ants
With the arrival of spring and warmer temperatures, comes the arrival of red imported fire ants, which can pose serious health risks for homeowners. According to experts from pest control leader Arrow Exterminators, this is especially a concern for the Southeastern region, where temperatures heat up faster and more customers report increases in fire ant activity during this time of the year.
Red imported fire ants will build their telltale nest mounds outdoors in soil and landscape areas or near a structural foundation and can gain entry to a home or building through holes or cracks. Homeowners should pay particular attention to fire ants' capability to infest garages.
"When fire ants invade, they can greatly impact enjoyment of your outdoor living space," said Cindy Mannes, Arrow company spokesperson. "By looking for the telltale signs and getting the help of experts with specialized training, you can rid your yard of these pests and safeguard your family to enjoy your property to the fullest."
Discovering a colony of fire ants is a serious situation that requires immediate expert attention since they are extremely territorial and will attack anyone that comes near their nest. Just one sting is painful and usually results in a raised welt, however, these ants are highly organized and work together, so in most cases, the encounters aren't limited to just one sting. Those who wander too close to a nest often suffer multiple stings from multiple ants in just a matter of seconds. Fire ants and their telltale mound nests should be actively avoided and homeowners should seal all internal and external cracks and crevices to prevent entry into the structure.
Arrow controls fire ants using an industry-leading process that utilizes Integrated Pest Management - the STEPSâ"¢ Total Protection System. STEPS includes full inspection of home and property to pinpoint pest issues; identifies not only the pest, but the true cause of the problem; and treatment in the most environmentally responsible way to alleviate current issues and help prevent any future recurrence.
Arrow offers year-round protection including quarterly inspections and necessary treatments. Consumers interested in protecting their homes from fire ants this spring can contact Arrow Exterminators at 1-888-462-7769 or click here for a free home evaluation.

Spirit, honor and strength at 2011 Relay for Life
Posted By Sonoma Valley Sun On August 3, 2011 @ 2:25 pm In News | Comments Disabled
Some walk together, with pride and strength. Others move along alone, in silence.
Some by day, some by night, all with a shared goal: celebrate, remember, fight back.
Such is the inspiring scene of Relay For Life. The annual event celebrates the survivors who have battled cancer, remembers those lost and helps communities fight back against a disease that has already taken far too much.
Sonoma's Relay For Life begins Saturday, August 6 at 10 a.m. and will run a full 24-hours at the Sonoma Valley High School track.
The day begins with a celebration of those that have beat cancer, who take to the track during the Survivors Lap directly after the Opening Ceremony.
Emblematic of the message of celebration is a day of fun, spirited activities. The love music stage opens with Carisma Crew, the high school dance team, at 10:30 a.m. Performances follow by the bands EZ Kewl at 11 a.m., the Maldonado Brothers at noon at the Cork Pullers at 1 p.m. The Joe Chaplain Band plays at 2 p.m. followed by Elvis and the Flashbacks at 3 p.m., Glenn Carter at 4 p.m. and Danny Wirick at 4:30 p.m.
The music continiues with the Jon Popenoe Band at 5 p.m., Noche Tropical at 6 p.m. and Kit Cat Karaoke at 7 p.m.
As the night grows dark, the track will be gently lit by the soft glow of hundreds of luminaria bags, placed by loved ones in honor of those who have survived cancer and in memory of those who died from the disease.
Relay For Life is the flagship fundraiser of the American Cancer Society, raising millions of dollars in thousands of communities across the country to help fund cancer research and support those living with the disease via various service programs. Teams form and commit to raising funds and having a walker on the track the whole time, because cancer never sleeps.
As of August 2, the pledges donations tallied nearly $50,000. The top teams were Team Michael Miller, Willie's Warrior and Sonoma Valley Hospital Vital Signs.

Barack Obama, the US president, has dismissed General Stanley McChrystal, the US and Nato commander in Afghanistan, over disparaging comments about the president's staff in a Rolling Stone magazine interview.
Obama said he would not tolerate any act that could undermine civilian control of the US military.
The president was quick, however, to say that the counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan would continue – though without its chief architect.
Afghan officials expressed disappointment over McChrystal's dismissal, but Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, said he accepted the decision.

I haven't shopped yet since two days after Christmas. And…I've decided to use up all the pantry things that have "old-ish" dates on them first. … plus I re-organized my downstairs pantry and discovered I have quite a few of some "samesies"…so…. this week I am doing pasta suppers… some soups and freezing a batch of stuff by adding a bit extra to each meal (kind of like planning for company, but it is for us instead)… I call them plan-overs. Maybe I'll shop next week….

UPDATE: Medical Capital wants to toss receiver, file for Chapter 11 HERE.
The court-appointed receiver for Tustin lender Medical Capital Holdings reported today that "noteholders will almost certainly suffer significant losses on their investments."
The company raised $2.2 billion from 20,000 investors before the Securities and Exchange Commission sued it last month for fraud.
Medical Capital bought unpaid bills, known as receivables, at a discount from hospitals and other health providers. Among its biggest customers: Santa Ana-based Integrative Healthcare Holdings Inc., which operates Western Medical Center-Santa Ana and three other central O.C. hospitals.
Medical receivables were a profitable business for years. But recently, receiver Thomas Seaman wrote, Medical Capital began putting investors' cash into more adventurous investments. When those investments soured, Medical Capital defaulted.
Among the investments:
But Medical Capital also had serious problems in its core business, according to the receiver. On at least 301 occasions, investor funds run by Medical Capital sold some of their receivables to other Medical Capital funds -- sometimes years after the due date. That's significant because receivables lose value with age; the longer a bill sits uncollected, the less likely someone is to pay it.
For example, in early 2004 Carlmont Capital II sold $14.9 million in receivables to another Medical Capital fund, Medical Provider I. More than three years later, Medical Provider I sold those same receivables to Medical Capital IV for $18.5 million -- a $3.5 million markup. And 16months later, Medical Capital IV sold the same, never-collected receivables to Medical Capital VI for $20.5 million, an additional $2 million markup.
In addition, the receiver said Medical Capital appeared to have overvalued some of its collateral. For example, it values a nursing home that it foreclosed in Moorpark at $30 million -- more than double the $14.4 million price it hopes to get in a pending sale.
Read the receiver's report (54 pages) HERE.
Special bonus for repeat readers: As requested below, here are the dueling declarations between MedCap attorney Thomas Fazio and SEC attorney David Zaro over what the receiver did or did not agree to keep confidential during his first brief look at MedCap's books last month.

Competing For Web Real Estate
How publishers determine which group gets priority.
While most magazine companies will agree that the most important
element of a Web site is the editorial content, there are many other
departments that are vying for prime space on the homepage. The
circulation team wants a prominent spot for its "Subscribe Now!" button
while the sales team wants that top banner ad space. If your company
happens to sell additional non-magazine products, they'll want some
space, too. So how do publishers negotiate who gets what?
At Hearst Digital Media, dedicated space is assigned to each
department and all parties sign off on the template, according to SVP
and general manager Chuck Cordray. The space each department receives
is based on test results. "For example, we found that subscription
marketing works better at the bottom of the page than [paid] ads do,"
Cordray says. "It's a good spot because subscription marketing tends to
work best when the person is interacting with the content. They're more
primed to convert."
But that doesn't mean that departmental debates over the space
don't come up. "Each group essentially wants the highest and best
placement but we're seeing that it works well for us to rely on the
data to tell us what to do," Cordray says. "It's really not any
different from when a print magazine is deciding its layout."
Group-Specific Performance Metrics
Cordray says that a different metric is used for each department
to determine what space it will receive. For the editorial team, the
company uses "content velocity," or how many pages a consumer will
click through before leaving the Web site. "The goal is to get
consumers to read through 10 to 20 pages before leaving," he says.
For advertising, Hearst looks at "clarity of experience," or
making sure that consumers are clear about the fact that they're
reading an ad. "We want them to know what's content and what's not,"
Cordray says. "But we also want to offer them flexibility and
variability. If everything's always in the same place, that's not a
good ad or user experience. We have to keep our consumers visually
And for subscription marketing, Cordray looks at the overall
yield per unique visitor—or how likely the user will convert—but the
conversion of total traffic is most important. "So we would look at
conversion in terms of percentages of uniques coming to the magazine
sites as a measure of how we are doing overall, and then look at
individual units, etcetera, as an element to maximize within that mix,"
he says.
A Constant Battle
At Active Interest Media's Yoga Journal, the topic of Web space
is always up for negotiation. In addition to circulation, advertising
and editorial, space has to be made for Yoga Journal's product
business, conference business, insurance program for yoga teachers and
teacher directory. The situation got especially sticky in 2004 when
Yoga Journal decided to rebuild its Web site.
"It was brutal," says circulation director Barbara Besser.
"Everybody was arguing that their business had to be represented with a
prime space on the homepage. We would have group meetings to fight it
The circulation department had some other advantages. At the
time of the redesign, Yoga Journal made so much money from online
subscriptions that no one suggested their placements should be removed.
The team tested cover ads on the upper right and left hand section of
the homepage as well as pop-ups in order to pull consumers in. And when
it was time to prove that they deserved to keep their placements, the
department spoke in dollars. "It's better to talk in dollars than
subs," she says. "Selling $20,000 worth of subscriptions sounds way
better than selling 2,000 subscriptions."
Still, it's online editorial director Andrea Kowalski who makes the final decision regarding Web space for Yoga Journal and Vegetarian Times. "Because of my background, I'm a bit biased, so while I'm looking to accommodate all of the departments and revenue streams, I'm also conscious of the user interface. That's why we have a prominent editorial well where readers know that they can go to and not be solicited or sold to."

Who Will Be in the Delivery Room?
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 12-07-2012 - 8:28am
Who will be in the room with you when you give birth? Will it be just you and your DH/SO? Will you have friends and/or family members join you? Also, who do you think should have the final say on who gets to be in the room with you? Since it is your labor and delivery, should that be left up to you?
Who Gets to Be in the Delivery Room? How Many is Too Many? Who Decides?- http://www.ivillage.com/who-gets-be-delivery-room-how-many-too-many-who-decides/6-a-334787?ice=iv:mb...

Just me and the hubby. I'm not putting on a show. My husband leaves it up to me...family is welcome to visit once the baby has arrived and I'm feeling up to visits.
With #1 we told all the family that this was the plan and we would keep in touch via phone. My husbands dad and step mom apparently did not understand the directions - so they showed up when I was 6 hours into labor. They were knocking on my hospital room door while I was being examined. My eyes bugged out of my head and I just looked at my husband who exited the room and told them that this was not a good time and we would call them. They left, I never saw them, until the next day when my 24 hour labor ended with an emergency c-section. With #2 no one even tried...I suspect with #3 that they all know the routine so it won't be an issue.
|Thu, 12-13-2012 - 8:52pm
Just me and hubby too.. Kids will be with grandma.. It's been me(obviously) and hubby for all my births.. unless you count nursing students who walked in when I was in labor with dd #1.. they walked in when I was 8cm with no epideral and asked if they could observe.. Seriously, if one of them could catch the baby I would have been happy with anyone at that point :p I definitely think it's up to the mom on who is in the room.. I would not even like my family in there, let alone my hubby's looking at the baby coming out ::shudder::
|Sat, 12-15-2012 - 5:20pm
With our first son it was my husband and mom in the room, with this baby it will be the same...except if we can't find anyone to watch our son, I guess he'll be in the room too! Not too sure what we'll do with him just yet! My sister lives an hour, maybe a little more, away...if she can make it, then I guess it would be her in the waiting room with our son and her two boys. If our son does have to be in the room with us, I don't think he'll be spooked or anything like that, not much anyway. He actually ends up watching baby shows with me, so he kind of knows what to expect.

Ski bindings in the 1940s locked the boots to a ski in a way that even a seemingly innocuous fall could cause a fracture. Then Jean Beyl, founder of LOOK, designed a binding with a plate and a ball bearing under the foot to diffuse torque and reduce pressure on the knee. They were heavy, difficult to install, and weakened the ski, but had enough advantages that the French ski team competed in them in 1950.
Beyl's next iteration of the binding used a C-shaped piece that fit over the toe of a ski boot, eliminating the underfoot bearing and plate. When a skier exerted sideways pressure in a twisting fall, the clip would rotate and release the boot. The body of the binding was also pivoted so that when a skier caught a tip the binding would release. The Nevada toe was the first modern ski binding to work with any commercial boot. The design reduced knee injuries as well as lower leg fractures dramatically, and it's the same basic system used today, with the addition of DIN settings that allow a skier to choose how readily his ski releases.

Easiest And Most Desirable Jobs
If your New Year's resolution is to find a new job, here's a list of some of the easiest and most desirable jobs on the planet, from Yahoo!
#1.) Being a "Mansion-Sitter". It's exactly what it sounds like: House-sitting for rich people. Plus, they get free room and board. You can apply for this job on the website, LuxuryHouseSitting.com.
#2.) Watching Videos of Cute Pets. Web editors at websites like CuteOverload.com spend hours combing through footage of kittens, puppies, and other baby animals. Casting agents for the Animal Planet show called "Too Cute" do the same thing.
#3.) Eating Chocolate. The food tasters at Godiva can sample up to 50 bonbons a day, but it actually requires training. And as you can imagine, it's a hard job to get. Chocolate testers can earn up to $70,000 a year.
#4.) Watching TV. If you can type fast, you could write captions for the hearing impaired for about $25,000 a year. Also, researchers watch eight hours of TV a day for about $10 an hour at the company that does the "Nielsen Ratings" for TV shows.
#5.) Making Do-It-Yourself YouTube Videos. Videos that show people how to do simple things, like whistling and putting on make-up, can get a ton of clicks which earns you ad revenue.
#6.) Professional Sleeper. This year, a travel site in China hired people to pose as guests at hotels all over the country, to assess things such as how soft the pillows were and wi-fi strength. According to Yahoo, they can make around $1,500 a month.

Professional Development | News
Discovery Education has launched a new professional development service designed to help foster and create teacher leaders capable of serving their district throughout a digital transition.
The program, called Digital Leader Corps or DLC, focuses on helping educators integrate technology and digital media into classroom instruction. Participants will also go through so-called student-centered learning labs, where they will get a chance to try out new teaching strategies in a classroom setting before sharing with peers in their own district. The DLC also provides continuous consultation with trainers throughout the program, from pre-planning to implementation.
The DLC uses multiple measures of data--like surveys, direct observation, gains in achievement, and digital content--to evaluate the effectiveness of participants' professional learning and help districts monitor the program's impact.
"As an early adopter and thought-partner of the Digital Leader Corps, we are very excited to be embarking upon this systematic change movement in Wake County Public School System," said Todd Wirt, assistant superintendent of academics at Wake County (NC) Public School System in a statement. "We recognize the importance of having teachers at the forefront of transformation and we must support our teacher leaders in gaining the necessary skills to best prepare our students to be globally competitive, 21st century citizens."
Discovery also offers its DEN professional development community, a forum for sharing educational tips and learning about technology, and hosts a summer learning institute for its STAR educators.
In addition to Wake County, Albuquerque Public Schools, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Houston Independent School District, Baltimore County Public Schools, Kent County Public Schools, and Des Plaines Consolidated School District 62 are currently working with Discovery Education to implement the DLC model.

Revamped Xbox Live Rewards program rewards playing new releases
by Ozzie Mejia, shacknews.com, Sep 4, 2013 4:00PM PDT
The new revamped Xbox Live Rewards program is here, replacing the old program that revolved around now-defunct Microsoft Points. The new system will reward users with Reward Credits which can be traded in for Microsoft Money. There are also new ways to earn rewards, including playing new release games.
5000 Rewards Credits are equal to $5 USD. Playing new games for 10 hours within 30 days of their release will reward players with 1000 Credits. Note that this only applies to disc-based games, meaning downloadable titles do not apply. This also curiously disqualifies full Games on Demand, which somewhat removes an incentive to buy games digitally.
The normal paths towards rewards remain in place, including the MyPunchcard program, renewing Xbox Live Gold, and filling out the monthly survey. Also, VIPs will still see a rebate on their purchases, based on their Gamerscore.
To check out all the details, you can visit Xbox Live Rewards.

Boo Major
During her tenure at South Carolina, Major has led the Gamecocks to two NCEA Overall Championships (2005, 2007), three consecutive NCEA Hunter Seat National Championships (2005, 2006, 2007), one Southern Equestrian Championship (2012), and one SEC Championship (2013). After the Gamecocks upset No. 1 Georgia and No. 2 Auburn to win the inaugural SEC Championships in 2013, Major was voted SEC Coach of the Year.
In the first seven years of coaching at USC, Major took 22 riders to compete as individuals to IHSA Nationals. Major coached the Zone 5 Region 2 High Point Hunt Seat rider fives times, including 2004 National Champion Tara Brothers. At the 2004 IHSA Nationals, Major received the Cacchione Cup/USEF Coach's Award, given to the coach of the IHSA National Hunter Seat Champion. She coached the High Point Western Rider, Assistant Coach Ruth Sorrel, of Zone 5 Region 2 in 2000.
During her tenure, Major has coached the 2005 and 2007 overall National Equestrian Champions, three consecutive Hunter Seat National Champions (2005-2007), and the 2006 VENC Reserve Championship. The 2006-07 Hunter Seat Team went undefeated on its ride to a third consecutive national championship. In addition, Major had six riders selected to compete in the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Collegiate Derby the past three years.
Major also guided the career of Kristen Terebesi who in 2008 became the first person in VENC history to win two individual national championships in a single season. Terebesi took home the titles in equitation on the flat and equitation over fences to sweep Hunter Seat honors at the 2008 VENC's.
In 2009, four Gamecocks earned national seeds to the VENC individual brackets, including Megan Massaro who earned the top equitation on the flat seed as a junior.
As a rider, Major has competed in hunter shows, eventing and dressage. She owns the Hanoverian stallion, Donnerkeil II, and is bringing along some of his offspring to compete and sell as well.
With the NCAA recognizing equestrian as an emerging varsity sport, Major has the opportunity to promote the sport at USC, to other Universities, the horse industry, the community at large and on the national level. The University of South Carolina was the first major Division I school in the nation to declare equestrian as a varsity sport and Major is proud to be associated with USC and its athletics department. For five years Major was the Chairman of the Varsity Equestrian Steering Committee. This committee has been organized to promote equestrian to other universities and to guide equestrian to becoming an NCAA championship sport. Major also served on the Legislative Committee for Varsity Equestrian and was the Head of the Varsity Equestrian Judges Task Force. She currently is the chair of the Competition Committee and is a member of the Officials Committee.
A Columbia, S.C. native, Major is a 1981 graduate of South Carolina and received her Master's degree from USC in 1990. She has taught equestrian at a number of different riding facilities across the state and coached many riders to regional and national honors. Major is also a Technical Delegate and "r" Eventing Judge with the US Equestrian Federation. She is a member of the American Quarter Horse Association, US Equestrian Federation, US Hunter Jumper Association, US Eventing Association and the South Carolina Coaches Association.
Major owns and operates a small breeding farm in Blythewood, where she currently stands Donnerkeil ll. She has a 13-year old son Robert "Mac" McDow Duncan III. An avid fox-hunter, she also has dogs, cats, birds and fish as pets.

Regional CR Programs
The dedication of our employees makes CSC stand out, both at work at in the communities where we live and serve. A variety of diverse cultures and passions weave together to bring strength and unity to everything we do.
In 2013 we launched the CSC Charitable Foundation to build additional focus and spirit into our community and philanthropy initiatives around the world. The Foundation will provide new opportunities for employees to participate in outreach programs as well as organize workplace volunteer efforts for the good of the community, employees and Company. Our giving focus areas will include:
• Education: To foster global literacy with focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for children from kindergarten to college age
• Health & Wellness: Enhance community health and wellness at a local and global level, with focus on veterans, disabled and children
• Disaster Relief: Support emergency assistance to those in need after a disaster, or period of crisis or trauma
Our employees also broaden our philanthropic horizons with diverse local and group passions leading us to meaningful community contributions together.
In the United States of America we are proud to celebrate our extensive US Military program to support our heroic military service members and their families through recruitment, philanthropy and volunteerism. This includes supporting military members, family support initiatives, wounded warrior veterans hire and our military spouse employment program. We value America's military community for its loyalty, diversity and strong work ethic. More information can be found about these programs on CSC Salutes. We developed 'CSC Salutes' an Employee Resource Group which is a global community of CSC employees supporting U.S. military veterans and their families through resource sharing, mentoring, training and forums for collaboration, networking, and philanthropy. We also announced a company-wide effort to hire 1,000 veterans and military spouses over the next 12 months. The company is committed to doubling their efforts in hiring veterans and military spouses, taking on the challenge of the White House's Joining Forces initiative.
In India - our corporate responsibility teams hold a variety of annual events to help people in the community. Some examples are Blood Donations, Eye Screening, Dental Treatment, Pulse Polio, Health Awareness, and a Clean India Drive. We sustain efforts to reduce carbon-footprints promote childhood education, road safety and traffic awareness as well as many other philanthropic efforts. In March, CSC India held a cycle-o-thon and distributed reflectors to almost 100 Rickshaws in Noida to prevent against the dangers of driving at night.
Our Noida team provides children with a quality education and the opportunities they deserve through many different programs, including: a Corporate Membership Program with Udayan Care, work with the Tapovan Foundation, the Share Education Partner for Success (STEPS) program, and Bulandsher Computer Classes. We also participate in a Gift Aid program, which allows volunteers to visit old age homes and special schools and give gifts during the festive season.
In Bangalore, we organized a "Warm Winters" clothes collection drive where employees donate clothes, footwear and other items. In Indore, we provided guidance to kids on different school subjects. They also participated in the blanket distribution initiative where volunteers distributed blankets to those in need of protective gear for cold weather.
In the United Kingdom, we achieved the energy management standard ISO 50001 at our UK Kent data centers, focuses on improving energy performance across the data center portfolio. Achieving ISO 50001 has helped us to reduce operating costs and improve our energy performance. Our UK community programme provides our employees with a number of employee volunteering opportunities to give service back to their local communities and in the process, gain very useful leadership skills and experience for employee development. We were also proud to be awarded with a Business In the Community Big Tick Award for Education for our long term educational partnering program.
Our CSC Australia team enjoys persuing community change through physical challenges. In 2012, for the sixth consecutive year, CSC supported staff, their families and invited customers through participation in charity cycling events around Australia. In the largest of the events, a CSC team of 130 riders raised funds for multiple sclerosis (MS) research riding 90kms from Sydney to Wollongong. In 2013, we have raised money for Cancer Council Australia, through participating in Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, as well as teaming up with a not-for-profit organization to raise money and cook nutritious meals for distribution to 350 charities across Melbourne.
Our Brazil team of employees contributed to efforts by Projeto Pequeninos to combat hunger among children from low-income families throughout Brazil. We helped the Monte Azul organization equip young people from underserved communities with educational toys to improve dexterity and motorskills, and conducted a food drive for local daycare centers with the Anglican Institute.
In the Nordics, we achieved inclusion in CSC's global ISO 14001 certificate and global Environmental Management System for our data centers in Copenhagen and Sweden as well as several office locations in the Nordics.
The Danish data center in Copenhagen is as a result of continuous energy optimization initiatives running at a world-class power usage efficiency level. Our community programme includes various employment volunteering events across the Nordics and among other things include cooperation with universities on career development and internships. Also with a focus on education in Lithuania we have established close cooperation with children houses where we organise career mentorships and our talented staff provide IT lectures in public schools to the benefit of the future generation of IT specialists.
In France, we held the CSC Gives Back: Tour de Force charity event, which is a European-wide initiative that brought together a team of more than 40 CSC employees, clients and partners to race in a 152km stage of the Tour de France on in support of child welfare in Bucharest, Romania. CSC raised funds during this event for the SOS Children's Villages, which is the world's largest orphan and abandoned children's charity. Partners, clients and employees signed up to participate and went the extra mile to help promote the event.
In recent years, CSC in the Netherlands (NL) has been involved with many community based projects and events. An employee charity committee raises money for or organizes a variety of events such as the PosBank 6x6 the KenyaClassic and the cancer foundation. A team of employees participated in the Alpe d'Hues challenge, where cyclists cycle up the Alpe d'Huez mountain in France several times. The last edition of the Alpe d'Huez challenge garnered a total of 25 million Euros.
Last year CSC NL organized a gaming event for a group of 25 'challenged' young people. The event, hosted at CSC offices, involved games that made IT more engaging and provided the students with a mixture of fun, teamwork and education.
In Spain our Spanish team has an established calendar of events that support the local community. These activities range from an annual charity breakfast in aid of local Cancer support organizations, to food donations, IT equipment donations and regular blood drives for which we have recently received an award.
CSC Spain funded the implementation of a carpooling platform for employees. Users can access the web tool freely to locate vehicles from their area doing the same trip at the same time or can opt to offer space in their own vehicle. This solution has removed cars from the roads, generated cost savings for employees and contributes to reduced environmental impact.
In South Africa (SA), CSC focuses on building firm foundations on which learners can build their future science and technology careers. Many barriers to learning and teaching mathematics and science exist in our country. Our corporate responsibility (CR) initiatives are aimed at reducing these barriers and fostering a love for mathematics and science from a young age. In doing so, we hope to build a future generation of innovators, with the skills to find solutions to the challenges faced by our country.
Our CR initiatives are reflective of the inherent diversity of our nation. Our projects touch the lives of all ages, races, religions and creeds. We have two STEM learning centers in SA, which focuses on long term development in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Our tutoring projects focus on immediate assistance to teachers and learners in these areas.
Our food garden projects provide active learning opportunities for impoverished communities where STEM education can be used to meet critical physiological needs. These garden projects include teaching people to use natural resources to build sustainable food gardens for subsistence farming and as a source of income. Our team is excited to continue building our network of learning centers, tutoring projects and food gardens as we continue to pursue our dream of building innovation through STEM learning.
In Vietnam our employees participated in fundraising for local charities devoted to healthcare, education and vocational training for youth. We demonstrated our commitment to sharing and building the local community by organizing a wide range of corporate responsibility activities throughout the year. For example, we frequently provision living supplies to underprivileged children and orphans living at Charity Centers, donate used PCs for primary schools in remote provinces, annually join FUN RUN events for charity fund raising and participate in blood donation drives. Our support for Operation Smile Vietnam provides surgery for children with facial deformities and eye surgery for the blind through Ho Chi Minh City's Poor Patients Associations.

Maxwell Technologies' Ultracapacitor-Based Engine Start Module For Medium And Heavy Duty Trucks Wins Innovation Award From R&D Magazine
SAN DIEGO, June 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MXWL) announced today that the editors of R&D Magazine have recognized Maxwell's ultracapacitor-based Engine Start Module (ESM) for medium and heavy duty trucks as one of the 100 most technologically significant products introduced into the marketplace over the past year.
Since 1963, the R&D 100 Awards have identified revolutionary technologies newly introduced to the market. Winners of the R&D 100 Awards are selected by an independent judging panel and the editors of R&D Magazine. The publication and its online portal serve research scientists, engineers, and other technical staff members at high tech industrial companies and public and private laboratories around the world. A full list of this year's winners is available at www.rdmag.com.
Maxwell's ESM incorporates patented ultracapacitor technology to provide the power required to reliably start Class 6 to 8 medium and heavy duty trucks. The ESM form factor is identical to the Battery Council International (BCI) Group 31 batteries used in most Class 6-8 MD/HD trucks in North America, making it an easy-to-install aftermarket product for trucks currently in service.
"Numerous trucking industry sources confirm the need for a more reliable and cost-effective starting solution, said Van Andrews, Maxwell's senior vice president, sales and marketing. "The ESM provides an "onboard jump start" capability that virtually eliminates starting failures due to extreme temperatures or depletion of batteries' cranking power by repetitive starting for deliveries or the use of battery power for heating, air conditioning, entertainment systems and other 'hotel loads' in states where engine idling is limited by law."Unlike Group 31 Lead-acid or Absorbent Glass-Mat (AGM) batteries that store energy by means of a chemical reaction, the ESM stores energy in an electric field within the ultracapacitor cells. This electrostatic energy storage mechanism enables ultracapacitors to charge and discharge in as little as fractions of seconds, perform normally over a broad temperature range (-40 degrees C to +65 degrees C), operate reliably through one million or more charge/discharge cycles and resist shock, vibration and overcharging. Key features and benefits* of the ESM include:
- Reliable starting for diesel engines up to 15 liters at temperatures from -40 degrees C to 60 degrees C;
- Maintenance-free operation and "life of the vehicle" reliability;
- Four-year limited warranty**;
- Industry standard Group 31 battery form factor for easy integration with battery systems;
- Built-in quick charging system (15 minutes or less);
- Promotes extended battery life; fully compatible with existing battery systems, and
- Green technology with no heavy metals or toxic substances requiring special recycling.

Mostly the logical conclusion drawn is, that the elders of their families pressurise the girls into this "orthodox tradition". This prevailing view has led to certain "Muslim women rights' champions" to think, we, girls in Hijaab, need someone to "liberate" us from the shackles of a mere cloth. I assure you dear "friends with good intentions" that there is a very big possibility that you might be doing the "Hijaabis" a disservice.
A simple piece of advice is, to go and actually ask a "Hijaabi" is she happy being so? And then believe if she says "yes, I am" instead of trying to read between lines and coming up with theories of fear and suppression. Undeniably there have been very bad examples of oppression of Muslim women. I can never refute that fact, yet it is not the fault of the car company if its cars are driven by rash drivers. Also there are Muslim girls who are actually averse to the notion of Hijaab. This might be due to certain prevalent image that has been created by the international media or a lack of relevant knowledge regarding Hijaab or simply due to the fact that we, humans, rebel at the notion of uniformity. But that is beside the point; we are discussing here the mind of a Hijaabi. Meaning girls who willingly choose Hijaab, a blessing for those who see.
In the simplest terms the basic motivation behind going under the veil is the belief that "I am precious". Precious not only in their own eyes but in the eyes of the Almighty! What greater honour than being valuable to The Creator of this universe! He has thought us valuable enough to be kept safe from the bad things He knows abound our world. Just like our parents forbid us from things knowing that they'll hurt us in the long run, Allah, who knows everything there is to know about, has ordered us to this submission to His Will because He is well aware of the dangers from which He wants us to be safe from. Ask any Hijaabi women what it feels like to wear Hijaab and the most common answer shall definitely be "safe". Safe from what? you ask. Safe from the prying eyes of those with indecent intentions, safe from being the unwilling cause of temptation for men with lesser will power, safe from the Wrath of Allah for disobeying His wishes.
Let us pick up the first one, safe from "prying eyes". I am sure, every single women has definitely has had this distasteful experience atleast once in her life. Whether it be in public places, offices, schools or simply walking down the road; this kind of phenomenon is ubiquitous. One can hardly avoid it unless you choose to lock yourself at home. That being impractical Our Merciful Guardian has offered us the option of Hijaab. Hijaab is like this unassuming shield that people often underestimate regarding its power. What can a piece of cloth do against the substantial power of the arms of lecherous men? I say, many times even a fully loaded gun fails to save one from the stubborn intentions of them. Still we do carry them around as precaution. Similarly Hijaab is this precaution that has been recommended from Heaven above. It is like killing the problem in the bud. When someone doesn't even have access to actually look and thus be tempted, Hijaab avoids quite a number of unwanted attentions. Besides, what we fail to notice here is that carrying a gun is actually not a precaution. It's the cure. That is, after being attacked or after sensing one coming we resort to it as a cure to get out of the situation. Whereas Hijaab is a precaution, which acts by deceiving and shielding women from the eyes of the would-be attackers. And as the old adage goes, caution is better than cure, Hijaab stands corrected!
Coming to the next point; safe from being an "unwilling temptation". Here Hijaab isn't just a shield or protector of women but for men too. We know human heart is a fickle creature. It seems to possess a mind of it's own. When it chooses a path, very often it obviates the voice of reason or rationale. Satan of course keeps giving an "unhelpful" nudge but more often than not we do succumb to our baser instincts. Thus as women, we have to realise the power we hold in a mere gaze or smile of ours which can bring proud hearts to their knees. Many a times women who realise this, instead of exercising control over this power, exploit it. Thus causing emotional havocs in the life of many and making Satan clap his hands in glee. Do we really want to be the entertainment of Satan and his minions? Do we really want to cause pain to any number of broken families and hearts? In this context it is lie to call a woman weak. The upper hand (also the destructive one) is held by the female gender in such situations. Thus Allah, Our Protector, has given a dual message to us through Hijaab. First one is that, being a woman has given us a power that is both subtle and immense. We should realise it and take caution. Secondly, with this power we have a responsibility to others who are affected by it and thus are answerable to its consequences. Thus we can't wash our hands off a matter and say that the guy was after me I had not invited him. Give him no cause to "come after you" dear sisters. Hijaab isn't just a mere cloth but it is an entire attitude. The way you walk, talk or even look at someone is part of Hijaab. One might be covered from head to toe in a burqa, but one that is so flashy and physically constricting. That is definitely not Hijaab. Even if one's attire maybe decent and yet they alluringly beautify their eyes or face or else talk in tones that pull at the strings of men's hearts, the whole point of Hijaab is lost. If subconsciously women are engaging in such acts there will come a time when they will have to answer some very hard questions. Else if our intentions are clear and not dubious, Allah is definitely Most Merciful and shall forgive our trespasses accordingly. In Shaa Allah!!
Now finally the third and the most important reason, safe from Allah's wrath! Let us start with the simplest analogy we can use here. Parents for any kids are a form of the biggest authority. Their orders are nothing less than laws for kids. Thus when they knowingly steal an extra cookie from the jar or get a 'D' in the latest maths test, they are rightly scared of the incoming displeasure of their parents. Yes, they know they are loved and are most precious things in the world for their parents, yet they know that the punishment will still be coming. Also in future the kids do strive to do things that shall make mummy happy and papa proud. Similarly, Allah, who loves us seventy times more than our mothers, shall rightly be displeasured when we so blatantly disregard His rules. Those rules which He has set down for our own good. It's not for His benefit. And yet we act so ungrateful and think He shall let it go? We are never more deluded than at this moment, for every soul shall be called to account and we are not fit to answer any interrogation of that nature. Hijaab is a blessing He has sent from above. A way to gain His pleasure. To show that we accept how loved we are by The Almighty and in return show are appreciation by following His Will. The reward for us is simply the feeling that what we did would make Allah happy. A very insufficient comparison can be drawn to that moment when our parents smile with pride and with tears in their eyes because of something we have done. Isn't that a beautiful feeling!!
So this was the serious glimpse in the mind of a Hijaabi. We are forgetting the fun side! Yes there is a lot of fun behind this sombre looking fabric. There are a lot of light hearted advantages of donning this garb. Right from unrestrained silent giggles in class, safe from teacher's disapproving glares to freedom to wear anything as you wish. No tensions of following the latest fashion trends or social pressures to conform to the elite styles. Protection to the hair from sun and cold and even no hairstyling tensions for every other party! Personally Hijaab for me is a hassle free, comfortable and perennial fashion garb. It has a very feminine charm to itself that exudes modesty, but this image has not been given the opportunity to get the light of the day. Mostly it has been shoved into the forced darkness of infamy.
The final point left to make concerning the contentment present in the mind of a Hijaabi, is the sense of self-worth. Many think that it is in the nature of any girl to feel and look beautiful. To show off a little bit and be appreciated and admired by all. This kind of emotion is definitely present even in every woman who wears the Hijaab. The intention behind these feelings though matter a lot. For some it is the appreciation from other men and jealousy from women that forms the intention. This feeling borders on vanity which is a vice to human nature. Seeking external appreciation from external sources shows a need to be admired which is not a sign of a confident person. When one is comfortable in her own skin, she doesn't need the approval of others to boost her sense of self-worth. Rather she is much more confident in a simple cloth knowing she is cherished and loved by her Creator, Allah. Isn't that the best compliment one can get! It is an amazing feeling to know one is beautiful enough to be protected in the eyes of Allah. Rather than being made available for display and free ogling by undeserving men. This simple cloth demands respect and privacy from men in the most effective and universal way present in the world. Plus a woman in Hijaab knows that when she shall finally get her guy it won't be merely for her good looks, but for what is beyond the outer appearance. He shall fall for the real you and love you even when you are wrinkly. That is the boost Hijaab gives to a Muslim girl's self-worth.
So in nut shell, the message that was intended to convey was that the head hidden beneath the scarf is not as gullible as people seem to think. It thinks and contemplates higher truths of life and then ultimately chooses which is beneficial not just for life now but also for the unending HereAfter. Yes it is a sacrifice, yes it is difficult. No one can deny that putting on Hijaab is no mean feat of courage. It is a Jihaad that Muslim women of today are fighting against not just with the society but with themselves. I request all my dear sisters to try putting on Hijaab just for a single day and I assure you, you will never look at a woman in scarf the same way. So next time when you see a silent girl moving with downcast eyes wearing a scarf, admire her for her courage, appreciate her for beautiful modesty and appreciate the complicated workings of the mind of a Hijaabi.

Update on the latest in sports:
Thunder on the verge...Heat's Bosh could be back in Game 5
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The Oklahoma City Thunder are growing up fast in the NBA playoffs. The Thunder moved within one game of the NBA Finals by upsetting San Antonio 108-103 to take a 3-2 series lead in the Western Conference finals.
Kevin Durant led the way with 27 and Russell Westbrook added 23. Sixth man James Harden was huge off the bench with 20, including a big 3-pointer with 28.8 seconds left.
The top-seeded Spurs have lost three straight and are on the verge of a stunning collapse. Coach Gregg Popovich shook up his lineup. Manu Ginobili (MAN'-oo jih-NOH'-blee) returned to the starting lineup and led all scorers with 34. But he missed an off-balanced three-pointer in the final seconds. But the Spurs self-destructed with 21 turnovers, leading to 28 Oklahoma City points.
Oklahoma City can clinch its first berth in the NBA Finals with a victory at home in Game 6 Wednesday night.
MIAMI (AP) — The Heat might have Chris Bosh in uniform for tonight's Game 5 of the NBA's Eastern Conference finals in Miami. The All-Star forward has had several on-court workouts in the past week and has been upgraded from indefinite to "day-to-day" by coach Erik Spoelstra (SPOHL'-struh).
Bosh has missed the team's last nine playoff games due to a lower abdominal strain.
The home team has won each of the first four games in the best-of-seven matchup.
Wizards keeping Wittman...Clippers' GM jumps to Blazers
UNDATED (AP) — The Washington Wizards say Randy Wittman will return as their coach next season. Wittman will keep the job he accepted after Flip Saunders was fired early in the season. He'd been working as an assistant for Saunders.
The Wizards went 18-31 under Wittman to finish with a 20-46 record.
In other NBA news:
— The L.A. Lakers have exercised their $16.1 million contract option for next season on All-Star center Andrew Bynum. Bynum is coming off his best NBA season after averaging career highs with 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds.
— The Los Angeles Clippers general manager Neil Olshey has left and taken the GM's job at with the Portland Trail Blazers. He had been the Clippers' GM for two years.
Lord Stanley's Cup on its way to LA
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The L.A. Kings are bulling their way through the Stanley Cup finals and now need just one victory to secure their first NHL championship in their 45-year history. The eighth-seeded Kings mowed down the New Jersey Devils 4-0 to take a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup final. Jonathan Quick posted his third shutout of the playoffs with 22 saves. He has allowed just two goals on 72 shots the entire series.
Alec Martinez and Anze Kopitar (AHN'-jay KOH'-pih-tar) netted second-period goals for the Kings. Kopitar's goal was his eighth of the postseason, tying for the NHL lead. Jeff Carter and Justin Williams added third-period goals for the Kings.
The Kings are 15-2 this postseason. They have a 3-0 lead in their fourth straight playoff series -- a first in NHL history.
The Kings can wrap up the Stanley Cup with a victory at home in Game 4 Wednesday night. If they win in four, the Kings would be the first team since the 1998 Detroit Red Wings to win in a sweep.
Thanks for stopping by
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired 35-year-old goaltender Tomas Vokoun (voh-KOON') from Washington for a seventh-round draft pick. Vokoun spent only one season with the Capitals and is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
Dodgers eke one out...Rookie makes no-hit bid against the Rangers
UNDATED (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers went into Philadelphia and nipped the Phillies 4-3. Edwin Herrera drove in Dee Gordon with the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth. The run came off new Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon, who took the loss.
The victory keeps the Dodgers with a three-game lead atop the NL West over San Francisco. The Dodgers have the best record in baseball at 34-21.
In other NL action:
__The San Francisco Giants are a season-high seven games over .500 after finishing a four-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs, 3-2. Ryan Vogelsong won his fourth straight decision. Buster Posey scored the go-ahead run on a double-play groundball by Joaquin Arias in the seventh.
— Colorado rookie Christian Friedrich pitched four-hit ball for seven innings in the best outing of his young career and the Rockies won for the seventh time in eight games, 4-0 over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
__Allen Craig's two-run home run in the eighth inning lifted St. Louis past the Mets 5-4 in an off-Broadway matinee in Queens. The victory kept the Cardinals from suffering their first-ever four-game sweep in New York, and it snapped the Redbirds' five-game losing streak. The Mets fell a-half game back of idle NL East co-leaders Washington and Miami.
Over in the American League:
--Oakland routed two-time AL champion Texas 12-1. Rookie Jarrod Parker didn't allow a hit until Mike Young's leadoff single in the eighth. Parker and Jim Miller combined on a three-hitter. Brandon Inge (ihnj) homered and drove in four runs.
__ Seattle surprised the L.A. Angels 8-6. John Jaso (JAY'-soh) had three hits. Mariners starter Jason Vargas gave up four runs and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings. He struck out a season-best eight while improving to 7-4.
—Minnesota doubled up Kansas City 10-5. Justin Morneau (mohr-NOH') and Josh Willingham each hit two-run homers, Trevor Plouffe also went deep.
Mets being cautious
UNDATED (AP) — After throwing a career-high 134 pitches in Friday's no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals, Johan Santana is getting two extra days to recuperate. The Mets say the left-hander won't take the mound again until Friday night, when they open an interleague series against their city rival at Yankee Stadium.
The Mets are being cautious with Santana, who missed last season while rehabilitating his surgically repaired throwing shoulder.
Astros may have found their shortstop of the future
SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) — The Houston Astros have selected 17-year-old shortstop Carlos Correa with the No. 1 pick in the baseball draft, making him the highest selection ever to come from Puerto Rico.
Correa has an incredibly strong arm and terrific instincts defensively, and the Astros might have found their shortstop of the future. He bested catcher Ramon Castro, who went No. 17 to Houston in 1994, as the highest-drafted Puerto Rican player.
It was the first time Houston had the top pick in the draft since 1992, when the Astros selected Phil Nevin — passing on Derek Jeter, who went five spots later to the Yankees.
In other top-five draft picks:
—With the second pick, Minnesota took speedy Georgia high school outfielder Byron Buxton, considered a five-tool player with a bat considered the best among all draft prospects.
—University of Florida catcher Mike Zunino, who has drawn comparisons to Jason Varitek for his leadership and ability to handle a pitching staff, was taken No. 3 overall by Seattle.
—Baltimore went with LSU right-hander Kevin Gausman with the fourth pick, adding a potential ace to its system. The draft-eligible sophomore has had a terrific season for the Tigers, going 11-1 with a 2.72 ERA and 128 strikeouts in 115 2-3 innings.
—Kansas City went with University of San Francisco right-hander Kyle Zimmer with the No. 5 overall pick. The Dons' ace went just 5-3, but had a 2.85 ERA with 104 Ks and only 17 BBs in 88 1-3 innings.
Manning goes long...Bucs ink first rounder
UNDATED (AP) — Peyton Manning showed excellent arm strength while airing it out Monday as the Denver Broncos worked on deep throws.
The league's only four-time MVP is returning from a nerve injury that caused weakness in his throwing arm, forced him to sit out last season and led to his release from the Indianapolis Colts.
In the two previous practices that the media were allowed to watch, Manning looked good on short and intermediate passes but sometimes lacked oomph on the occasional deep ball.
Not this time.
Some of his throws were actually too strong, sailing over receivers' heads.
In other NFL news:
__The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed first-round pick Doug Martin to a five-year contract. The Boise State running back was the 31st selection in the draft and is expected to share the workload as a rookie with third-year pro LeGarrette Blount.
— Kansas City has signed free agent safety Abram Elam. The Chiefs are hoping the seventh-year pro will provide depth behind Eric Berry, who is coming back from a devastating knee injury sustained last season. Elam spent last year with the Cowboys.
— An arbitrator has ruled that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell (guh-DEHL') has the authority to discipline New Orleans Saints players for their role in a bounty system. The players' union had challenged Goodell on the issue.
— The NFL plans to start hiring and training possible replacement officials as a precaution. The league and the NFL Referees Association have been negotiating since October and have said they expect a new collective bargaining agreement in time for the upcoming season.
Sharapova survives...Nadal cruises
PARIS (AP) — It took some work, but Maria Sharapova (shah-rah-POH'-vah) is into the quarterfinals of the French Open and three wins away from completing a career Grand Slam.
The second-seeded Russian got past Klara Zakopalova (KLAh'-ruh za-kop-ah-LOH'-vuh) of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-7, 6-2 in a match that dragged on for 3 hours and 11 minutes. That's 16 minutes more than Sharapova's first three outings combined.
Defending champion Li (lee) Na of China bowed out, dropping a 3-6, 6-2, 6-love decision to qualifier Yaroslava Shvedova (yah-roh-SLAH'-vuh SHVEH'-doh-vuh) of Kazakhstan.
The last American in the draw, Uzbekistan-born Varvara Zepchenko (vahr-VAHR'-uh lehp-CHEHN'-koh), lost 6-2, 6-1 to Wimbledon champion and No. 4 seed Petra Kvitova (kuh-VIHT'-oh-vuh) of the Czech Republic.
In men's play, six-time champion and No. 2 seed Rafael Nadal (rah-fay-ehl nah-DAHL') blew past 13th-seeded Juan Monaco 6-2, 6-love, 6-love, after No. 5 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (SAHNG'-guh) and ninth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro (wahn mar-TEEN' dehl POHT'-roh) returned to the court and won fourth-round matches halted by darkness Sunday.
Nadal has lost only 19 games through four matches in the tournament.
Fourth-seeded Andy Murray overcame a slow start to beat 17th-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet in four sets.
Sixth-seeded David Ferrer (feh-REHR') and No. 12 seed Nicolas Almagro moved into the quarterfinals in straight sets on a wet and windy Day 9 at Roland Garros.
Two Buckeyes being punished
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Two expected starters for Urban Meyer's first season at Ohio State have been suspended from the team.
The school says senior tight end Jake Stoneburner and junior offensive tackle Jack Mewhort are being disciplined following their arrest on a misdemeanor charge of obstructing official business.
The two were arrested around 2:30 a.m. Saturday, near Muirfield Village Golf Club, where the Memorial Tournament was being held.
A report on the incident is due to be released Tuesday.
Busch in more hot water
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR has suspended Kurt Busch for one week for verbally abusing a media member.
NASCAR says that Busch's behavior after Saturday's Nationwide Series race at Dover was in violation of his probation. Busch was fined $50,000 by NASCAR last month and placed on probation through July 25 for reckless driving on pit road at Darlington and a post-race altercation with Ryan Newman's crew members.
That probation has now been extended through the end of the year.
Champion in three classes retires at 40
UNDATED (AP) — Boxer "Sugar" Shane Mosley is retiring, ending a career in which he won titles in three different weight classes, beat Oscar De La Hoya twice and never was knocked out.
The 40-year-old announced on Twitter that he was hanging up his gloves, saying he "loved every moment of it. Win, lose or draw."
Mosley lost three of his last four fights, including a dreary bout against Manny Pacquiao (PAK'-ee-ow) in May 2011 in which he mostly seemed to be avoiding the Filipino superstar in the ring.
His last fight was May 5 on the undercard of the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto. Mosley lost a lopsided decision to rising Mexican star Canelo Alvarez.
Mosley's career record was 46-8-1.
Ex-Reds hurler dead at 65
CINCINNATI (AP) — Pedro Borbon (bohr-BOHN'), who pitched 10 years for the Cincinnati Reds and helped the Big Red Machine win back-to-back World Series titles, has died of cancer at 65. Borbon was a key member of the bullpen on Cincinnati's 1975-76 championship teams and also pitched for the Angels, Giants and Cardinals.
