The Buffalo Sabres spent much of the weekend looking like they were playing short-handed. Their two opponents dominated long stretches at even strength, making the Sabres chase them around and waste their rapidly diminishing energy.
The Sabres coupled that Sunday night by actually being short-handed too much. Although the penalty-killers joined Ryan Miller in carrying the team into a late 1-1 tie with Boston, they finally faltered. When they did, Buffalo's winning feeling was gone.
The Bruins' power play broke through with 12:08 left, ending the deadlock and carrying the visitors to a 3-1 victory in First Niagara Center. The Sabres, who had won two straight, fell to 3-7-1 in the last 11 games.
"We've had a pretty tough stretch, and we spent too much time killing penalties," coach Lindy Ruff said. "We wasted energy. I thought a couple penalties were the undisciplined type that we've got to stay away from when you're playing back-to-back games."
The Sabres killed four penalties in the second period, including a five-on-three. The Bruins entered the game with the league's worst power play, and the Sabres' 18th-ranked penalty killers kept it that way for much of the night. But their final opportunity to make a difference didn't go as well.
Chris Bourque's shot from the point bounced off the back boards and caromed into the faceoff circle to Patrice Bergeron. He ripped a shot into the top corner for Boston's fourth power-play goal of the season.
"It was tough because it was at that crucial point in the game," said Sabres defenseman Robyn Regehr, who returned after missing seven games with an ankle injury. "We had the opportunity to try and get it done there in the third, and unfortunately as a penalty-killing unit we couldn't do it."
The goal put Milan Lucic in position for an empty-net tally with 48.6 seconds left.
"I don't think all power-play goals are beautiful goals," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "We've had some great chances we haven't buried, so in the end it's nice to get that break. We needed that goal, and it came at the right time."
A fortuitous bounce was about the only way Boston could beat Miller. The goaltender made 36 saves after finishing with 41 during Saturday's 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders.
His teammates tested Boston backup Anton Khudobin 26 times, with half of those coming in the opening period.
"We started to show our fatigue around the midpoint," said Miller, whose team will play its 14th game in 24 days Tuesday in Ottawa against the Senators.
The teams were busy in the first period. Miller faced 16 shots while Khudobin saw 13, but neither allowed one to find the net.
The Sabres opened the second period short-handed, and they spent much of it that way.
"We got a little bit undisciplined and had to kill a bunch of penalties," Regehr said.
"That type of stuff hurts your momentum a little bit, and it did it to us."
The Bruins continued to tilt the ice and finally solved Miller. Andrew Ference collected a turnover by Tyler Ennis and fed Brad Marchand in the slot. His shot through traffic went just inside the far post with 7:10 gone in the second, giving Boston a 1-0 lead on its 23rd shot through 27 minutes.
Ennis made up for the mistake with his fifth goal of the season before the period ended.
Drew Stafford intercepted Dougie Hamilton's clearing attempt along the boards and spotted Ennis alone in the slot. The center deked right to get Khudobin down, then went around the left side to put the puck home and tie the game with 1:59 to go.
Ennis has found the net in three of the last four games. But no one else joined him, ruining another solid outing for their goaltender.
"Millsie played incredible," said Sabres right wing Patrick Kaleta, who got the crowd of 18,869 riled up early by throwing 16 haymakers in a spirited fight with Gregory Campbell. "We've got to tighten up and get our things straight here."

Solar Power Woman!
Hey, my name is Cat. My buddy is Cisco, or /Francisco, Caballero de las Llanuras de la Costa del Golfo/. He's a young English Springer Spaniel mix, a rescue that was picked up in a "dump zone" near Beaumont, TX. I've only had him a month. I wanted to give him a proper name to reflect his Spanish heritage, something like /Don Quixote de la Mancha/. (The Gulf Coast Plains is an ecoregion that includes Beaumont.)
I own a smallish 900-sq. ft. house in south Louisiana, in the small, historic town of Grand Coteau. My interest in stewardship of the planet goes back decades. I've been a park ranger for the National Park Service, a systems engineer for IBM, performed in the Closing Ceremonies of the Athens 2004 Olympics. A life rich in experience, but not always rich financially. I've learned to be frugal.
In 2007, I had the good fortune to be selected to be trained by Al Gore to be a global warming presenter. Biggest surprise? He was funny! From that workshop, I met someone who told me about a two-week all women's workshop with Solar Energy International learning photovoltaics (solar). "Wow!" I thought, "at last, I found my niche." Leading the way, a life of sustainability. So, I formed a company, Cat Dancing Energy. Well, several years later, I'm regrouping. As someone in the industry told me, "The solar business is much more business than it is solar." How true, running a business is far, far more work than I ever imagined...or wanted.
Working on the Brad Pitt solar project in New Orleans!
And, as a "construction" type of industry, not so easy for a woman...unless you want to do sales, or work in the office. (Which I don't esp. want to do.) Women in the field? Not so much. Nevertheless, I've had some good projects, installed a solar demo project for Brad Pitt in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans, did an all Women's install with Grid Alternatives in the SF Bay area, and a variety of other installs, site analysis, designs, energy consulting, taught solar workshops.
Along the way, I discovered Tumbleweed homes, visited Jay's home the summer of 2011, and attended a Dallas, TX workshop that year with Dee Williams. The Tumbleweeds make a lot of sense to me, and fit in with the desire of a sustainable lifestyle.
At the back of my property is a small cottage, about 10 x 15 feet. It's something I want to convert into a Tumbleweed. One thing I've learned this year, thanks to the 1%, is that working hard is not the way to (necessarily) make money. So, my hope is to convert my cottage into an adorable Tumbleweed with Tuscan styling, and use it as an investment, a little guest house.
Cottage to convert
My path then has a two prong approach: continue to try to find my niche in the solar/renewable energy world with the right company, and build a Tumbleweed home. Being a native of the northeast, I typically leave Louisiana during hot summers in search of cooler climates, more mountains, hiking opportunities, solar opportunities, etc. I don't always have a clear plan of where I'll go until summer is upon us. Watching "Field of Dreams" tonight, Cisco curled up into my lap. (At 40 lbs, he's a sizable lap dog.) I asked him, "Where are we going this summer? Iowa?" He just wagged his tail and looked at me with sweet, brown eyes.

With todays new technology treatment of wood for control and treatment of termites and other wood destroying insects is made easier. Nissus Corp Borate termite control products have changed the way homeowners do termite treatment.
Bora-Care is a low toxicity wood preservative that has a low environmental impact. It protects wood and whole structures from most wood destroying organisms including subterranean termites, Formosan termites, drywood termites, wood destroying beetles, carpenter ants, and decay fungi.
The active ingredient is the natural borate salt and micronutrient disodium octaboratetetrahydrate (DOT). DOT is a natural form of elemental boron, which is essential for the healthy growth of plants and believed important in human calcium metabolism. Because animals and humans simply take what they need from their diet and rapidly excrete any excess via the kidneys, DOT has a low acute toxicity and Bora-Care is about half as toxic as sodium chloride or table salt (in a laboratory setting), but its very effective against insects and fungi that do not have the same excretion mechanisms. DOT maximizes the solubility, the rate of dissolution and the boric oxide content to give a borate active ingredient far superior to traditional boric acid or borax. At the levels used in Bora-Care applications, it prevents pest infestation by inhibiting pest metabolism on a cellular basis. The tetrahydroxyborate anion forms a chelate complex with the cis-adjacent hydroxyl groups in the ribose sugar of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), with the cationic nitrogen of the nicotinamide moiety providing electrostatic stabilization of the chelate. In this configuration, NAD and NADP cannot be used by the dehydrogenase enzymes of glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway or the tricarboxylic acid pathway, and so the cellular energy generating mechanisms, including adenosine triphosphate production, are shut down.

High efficiency dishwashers save by using both improved technology for the primary wash cycle, and by using less hot water to clean. Construction includes more effective washing action, energy efficient motors and other advanced technology such as sensors that determine the length of the wash cycle and the temperature of the water necessary to clean the dishes.
Save on hot water
Significant savings can be realized by minimizing the amount of hot water needed. The water temperature in a dishwasher should be at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit to clean your dishes. The ENERGY STAR qualified models with internal water heaters boost the water temperature inside the dishwasher. This allows you to turn down the thermostat on your household water heater to 120 degrees, reducing your water heating costs by 20%.
Save on drying
Using your dishwasher's heater to dry dishes consumes a significant amount of energy. Federal law requires that all new dishwashers have a no-heat drying option. This is often called the "energy saver" feature. This takes a little longer, but dries the dishes as well as the energy-guzzling heat drying operation.
Tips for Buying a New Dishwasher
Resources for selecting a dishwasher
ENERGY STAR was introduced by the US Environmental Protection Agency in 1992 as a voluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote energy-efficient products, in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. ENERGY STAR labeled dishwashers use superior designs that require less water to get dishes clean. For information on ENERGY STAR qualifying products and where to buy them visit this ENERGY STAR web site.

Binge-eating disorder (BED)—a syndrome that only recently has attracted scientific attention—is often seen in obese individuals, especially those with severe obesity. However, it remains unclear whether BED represents an etiologically distinct behavioral phenotype of obesity or simply a nonspecific eating pattern sometimes seen in obese individuals.
To test whether BED aggregates in families independently of obesity, and if so, whether familial factors for BED also independently increase the risk of obesity.
Design, Patients, and Setting
Blinded family interview study of overweight or obese probands with (n = 150) and without (n = 150) BED, and their first-degree relatives (n = 888) in a community setting evaluated between October 2002 and July 2004.
Main Outcome Measures
Lifetime diagnosis of BED; current and highest lifetime body mass index (calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters).
Binge-eating disorder aggregated strongly in families independently of obesity (odds ratio, 2.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-3.6; P<.001). Furthermore, relatives of probands with BED displayed a markedly higher prevalence of severe obesity in adulthood (body mass index ≥40) than relatives of probands without BED even when controlling for proband body mass index (odds ratio, 2.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-4.4; P = .002).
Binge-eating disorder is a familial disorder caused in part by factors distinct from other familial factors for obesity. Furthermore, these BED-specific familial factors may independently increase the risk of obesity, especially severe obesity. It follows that targeted interventions capable of preventing or treating traits influenced by these BED-specific familial factors could reduce the public health burden of obesity.
Obesity is a global epidemic with profound medical and social consequences,1 but its complex causes remain incompletely understood. Binge-eating disorder (BED), a syndrome that only recently has attracted scientific attention,2- 4 may contribute to obesity in some individuals.5 Individuals with BED exhibit frequent eating binges characterized by a loss of control over eating, during which the individual consumes an unusually large amount of food within a short period of time, typically less than 2 hours. Current diagnostic criteria2 for BED require that these binges occur at least twice per week for a minimum of 6 months.
Individuals with BED are frequently obese.3,5- 8 Conversely, BED is often observed in obese populations, especially the severely obese.3,5- 10 Binge-eating disorder also appears to be associated with substantial medical11,12 and psychiatric3,6,12- 16 morbidity, some likely mediated through obesity and some independently associated with BED itself.4,12- 14,16 Collectively, these findings suggest that BED is a major public health problem and a contributor to the obesity epidemic.
However, it remains unclear whether BED represents an etiologically distinct behavioral phenotype of obesity4 or simply a nonspecific eating pattern, seen in some obese individuals with no particular etiologic significance. It is known, for example, that various pharmacological,17- 19 psychological,20,21 and surgical22 treatments are efficacious in BED, but it is unknown whether these treatments work via a direct effect on BED per se or merely via a generic effect on appetite or eating patterns.4,16 One way to discriminate among these possibilities is to determine whether BED aggregates in families independently of obesity. Evidence for such aggregation would suggest that BED is caused in part by familial factors distinct from those for obesity itself.
Few investigations have assessed the familial aggregation of BED. Two small nonblinded studies,23,24 using information obtained from probands23 or from telephone interviews of relatives,24 found an elevated prevalence of BED in the relatives of probands with BED, but only one23 produced statistically significant results. The other study24 yielded an odds ratio (OR) of 1.9 for the aggregation of BED in families, but this OR had a very wide confidence interval (0.42-12) because only 10 cases of BED were identified among relatives. Several twin studies have used questionnaires to examine binge eating, but not the full syndrome of BED.25- 27 These studies have suggested a strong genetic contribution to binge eating in general25,26 and binge eating without compensatory behaviors.27 One genetic study28 found BED associated with mutations in the melanocortin-4 receptor gene (a gene implicated in the development of hyperphagia and obesity29,30) although a subsequent study31 failed to replicate this finding.
To augment these limited data, we conducted a blinded family interview study of 300 probands with and without BED and 888 of their first-degree relatives.
Using radio and print advertising, we recruited 2 groups of probands aged 18 years and older who were all overweight or obese, defined here as a body mass index (BMI) (weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) of 25 or greater for women and 27 or greater for men. We chose the higher cutoff value for men on the basis of several studies suggesting that the BMI threshold for being overweight or obesity should be higher in men than in women.32- 34 Probands in the first group met DSM-IV2 criteria for a lifetime diagnosis of BED. Probands in the second group were frequency matched in age and sex to probands with BED, but reported no lifetime diagnosis of bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa, and no more than 5 lifetime eating binges as defined by criterion A for BED in DSM-IV. We required that all probands have at least 2 living first-degree relatives aged 18 years and older who are potentially able to come to our laboratory for interviews; in both groups, we particularly tried to secure female relatives because BED is more common in women,3,8 and therefore we expected female relatives to be more informative.
Probands who qualified on telephone screen were invited to a personal interview with the proband interviewer (H.G.P.) who was blinded to information about the proband's relatives. The interviewer confirmed that the subject met all inclusion criteria and then assessed for a lifetime diagnosis of BED (including retrospective assessment of age at onset) in the subject by DSM-IV criteria, using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID).35 Although we used the SCID to assess a wide range of other DSM-IV disorders, the present article is restricted to the diagnosis of BED; data on other disorders in this sample will be presented in a separate report.
A study coordinator then scheduled all available and consenting first-degree relatives for an interview with a family interviewer (J.I.H. or J.K.L.) who was blinded to information about the proband. The family interviewers assessed lifetime BED in relatives by the same method used for the probands. Consenting relatives unable to come to McLean Hospital, Belmont, Mass, were interviewed by telephone.
When probands and relatives were evaluated in person, we measured the height by ruler to the nearest 1.3 cm, and weight by beam balance to the nearest 0.2 kg. For relatives evaluated by telephone, we obtained self-reported height and weight. We also asked all subjects to report their highest adult body weight at any time since age 18 years; from this value we in turn estimated their highest adult BMI because height after age 18 years is relatively stable.
To maximize reliability, the family interviewers discussed all cases together and assigned consensus diagnoses. When these interviewers disagreed, cases were presented to H.G.P. under blinded conditions and his diagnosis was taken as final.
All subjects gave written informed consent for this study, which was approved by the McLean Hospital institutional review board.
To evaluate the familial aggregation of BED, we used a univariate proband predictive logistic regression model, which is described elsewhere,36,37 where the outcome was the presence of BED in a relative and the predictor was BED in the corresponding proband. In a secondary analysis, we applied a proportional hazards model for time to onset of BED.
The analyses reported here used data from interviewed relatives only; we also performed additional analyses using data for all relatives aged 18 years and older, based on information about noninterviewed relatives provided by the interviewed relatives. In analyses restricted to interviewed relatives, missing data from noninterviewed relatives can be a source of bias, but serious bias is unlikely in our case because our statistical models are valid even if a relative's probability of selection into the study depends on the outcome (eg, BED in a relative).38 By contrast, analyses using all relatives, while having no missing data, may be biased because information given by informants may depend on the informants' outcome (eg, relatives who have BED themselves might be more likely to detect or report it in a fellow relative).39,40
To compare characteristics between probands with and without BED, and between relatives with and without BED, we used linear regression for continuous variables and logistic regression for binary variables. In all models for outcomes in probands, we adjusted for sex and age, using the following 5 age categories (years): 18 to 30, 31 to 40, 41 to 50, 51 to 60, and 60 and older. In models for outcomes in relatives, we adjusted for the proband's sex, age, and BMI (modeled as categories representing quintiles of the distribution of BMI in probands); relative's age, sex, and relationship to the proband (parent, sibling, or child); and interview type (in person or telephone). In the case of relatives, because observations within families are correlated, we used generalized estimating equations41 to estimate standard errors with independence as the working covariance structure.
We fitted all models using Stata 7.0 statistical software (Stata Corp, College Station, Tex). We set α at .05, 2-tailed. The statistical analysis was performed by J.I.H. in collaboration with N.M.L. and H.G.P.
Between October 2002 and July 2004, we evaluated 300 probands and 888 relatives. Our advertisements for probands generated 1830 respondents, of whom 1376 were excluded at telephone screen (fewer than 2 available relatives [n = 924]; failed to meet full diagnostic criteria for either BED group or non-BED comparison group [n = 436]; declined to participate [n = 16]). Of the 199 qualifying for the BED group, we rejected 49 (no match in non-BED group [n = 29]; did not show for appointment [n = 14]; failed to meet diagnostic criteria at in-person interview [n = 3]; and no relatives obtained [n = 3]); of the 255 qualifying for the non-BED group, we rejected 105 (no match in BED group [n = 91]; did not show for appointment [n = 9]; failed to meet diagnostic criteria at in-person interview [n = 2]; and no relatives obtained [n = 3]).
The 300 probands had 1593 living relatives aged 18 years and older, of whom we obtained permission to contact 1192. Of these, 587 were relatives of probands with BED; 154 were unwilling to participate and 431 were evaluated (in person [n = 371]; by telephone [n = 60]). Of the 605 relatives of non-BED probands, 148 were unwilling to participate and 457 were evaluated (in person [n = 370]; by telephone [n = 87]).
Subject characteristics are presented in Table 1. Probands with BED displayed a significantly higher mean BMI than probands without BED.
A lifetime diagnosis of BED was found in 87 (20.2%) of the 431 relatives of probands with BED, and 44 (9.6%) of the 457 relatives of probands without BED. Binge-eating disorder aggregated strongly in families; the OR for BED among relatives of probands with BED as compared with relatives of probands without BED was 2.2 (95% confidence interval, 1.4-3.6; P<.001). The hazard for onset of BED in relatives of probands with BED was double that for relatives of probands without BED (P = .001) (Figure).
Kaplan-Meier estimates of time to onset of binge-eating disorder (BED) among relatives, according to proband group.
The estimated OR for aggregation of BED remained stable (changing less than 5%) when (1) restricting to the 114 probands with BED and 108 probands without BED who were obese (BMI ≥30); (2) weighting relatives by inverse probability of selection based on age, sex, and type of relative to adjust for oversampling of female relatives and other deviations from the characteristics of all first-degree relatives that resulted from sampling; and (3) including information on noninterviewed relatives. In connection with the last of these 3 analyses, we also found that interviewed relatives with BED were not significantly more likely to report information supportive of BED in a noninterviewed fellow relative than interviewed relatives without BED (76.2% vs 68.6%, respectively; OR, 1.6; 95% confidence interval, 0.77-3.3; P = .21) in a logistic regression analysis that adjusted for the informants' age, sex, and relationship to proband, and that accounted for the correlation of observations within families using generalized estimating equations.
We first compared the relatives associated with each of the 2 groups of probands (Table 2). Relatives of probands with BED, compared with relatives of probands without BED, displayed a significantly higher mean current BMI, mean highest adult BMI, and a higher current prevalence of obesity. Most strikingly, these relatives displayed a much higher lifetime prevalence of severe obesity (BMI ≥40). It should be recalled that all of these comparisons controlled for proband BMI.
In a second analysis, we split the relatives in a different way and compared those with and without a lifetime diagnosis of BED, regardless of the proband group with which they were associated (Table 3). Relatives with a lifetime diagnosis of BED, compared with relatives with no lifetime BED, exhibited a strikingly higher mean current and highest adult BMI, and prevalence of current and lifetime adult obesity. Indeed, the prevalence of severe obesity, whether assessed on a current or lifetime adult basis, was nearly 5 times as great among relatives with BED vs those without BED.
We performed a blinded family interview study of 150 overweight or obese probands with BED and an age-matched and sex-matched group of 150 overweight or obese probands with no history of an eating disorder, together with 888 of their first-degree relatives. We restricted the study to overweight or obese probands, and further adjusted for proband BMI, to ensure that any observed familial aggregation of BED would be independent of familial factors for obesity itself.
The study produced 3 principal findings. First, our primary hypothesis—that BED aggregated in families independently of obesity—was strongly supported, with an estimated aggregation OR of 2.2. When interpreting this finding, it should be recalled that familial aggregation is fully explained by a combination of genetic and family environmental factors. Family studies such as this one cannot quantify the relative contributions of these 2 sets of factors. However, given (1) evidence from twin studies suggesting a significant contribution of genetic factors in binge eating, separate from those for obesity26; (2) further twin-study data finding virtually no evidence for a contribution of familial environmental factors in binge eating25- 27; and (3) theoretical evidence suggesting that aggregation ORs of this magnitude cannot easily be explained by purely environmental factors,42 it seems likely that at least some of the independent familial factors for BED are genetic.
It should be noted here that we are discussing the contributions of genetic and environmental factors to the familial aggregation of BED, as distinguished from their contribution to individual liability for BED. More technically, the familial aggregation of BED is determined by a combination of genetic and shared environmental factors, whereas BED itself is determined by a combination of these factors plus additional unique or nonfamilial environmental factors. Twin studies25- 27 suggest that the contribution of shared environmental factors to the liability for BED is minimal, whereas the contribution of unique environmental factors is substantial. Among the many environmental factors potentially contributing to BED are prenatal factors, which may be either shared or unique.
Second, we found that relatives of probands with BED displayed a higher prevalence of obesity—particularly of severe obesity—than relatives of probands without BED, even when controlling for proband BMI. For example, our findings suggest that if an individual has an overweight or obese first-degree relative with BED, as compared with having an equally overweight or obese relative without BED, then that individual faces a 2.5-fold increase in his or her odds of lifetime adult severe obesity.
Third, when we compared relatives with and without BED, regardless of proband group, we found a marked association of BED with obesity, consistent with previous community-based studies.6- 8 Notably, this association was much stronger with severe obesity than with moderate obesity—a result that reinforces previous impressions3,10,43 that the association of BED with obesity becomes stronger with increasing levels of BMI. The only other study to examine the association of BED with severe obesity in a community-based sample was the National Comorbidity Survey Replication,10 which produced results consistent with those presented here. Other previous studies of BED and severe obesity are not directly comparable to ours because they have been confined to clinical samples of patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery.9,22,44
Our first 2 findings suggest that there are familial factors associated with BED, independent from any additional familial factors for obesity, and that these familial factors themselves increase the risk of obesity. It is likely that familial endophenotypes represent links in this causal chain. For example, 1 candidate endophenotype is impulsivity, a personality trait associated with BED,45 which could lead to impulsive binge eating and then to BED, which could in turn lead to obesity. Another candidate endophenotype is hyperphagia, which has known genetic determinants, including melanocortin-4 receptor mutations29- 31 that are possibly shared with BED.29 Hyperphagia might lead to both obesity and BED in some individuals and might lead to obesity, even in the absence of BED, in others.
Our cross-sectional data cannot discriminate among these various causal models. In particular, although there is a striking association between BED and severe obesity, as demonstrated by our third finding, our data do not allow us to determine the degree to which BED mediates the effect of genetic factors on the development of obesity. A possible mechanism is that genetic factors increase the risk of binge-eating behavior, thus increasing caloric intake, leading to substantial weight gain and culminating in severe obesity.
In any event, regardless of the causal sequence, it would still follow that interventions to prevent or treat traits influenced by these putative BED-specific familial factors could decrease the prevalence of obesity in the population. Effective interventions might operate at various points in the causal sequence. For example, they might correct abnormal endophenotypes such as impulsivity or hyperphagia, which in turn might reduce or prevent binge eating. Finally, since these familial determinants likely interact with nonfamilial (ie, unique) environmental factors to produce obesity, interventions might correct facilitating nonfamilial environmental factors. Given that BED affects a substantial minority of obese individuals,3,5- 9 a successful intervention could reduce the public health burden of obesity.5
We consider 4 limitations of our design. First, selection factors may have influenced the characteristics of probands and relatives who agreed to participate in this study. Selection bias seems unlikely, however, because selection factors would be expected to be similar across groups. Second, to assess whether BED aggregated in families independent of obesity, we intentionally restricted our study to overweight or obese probands. Thus our results might not be generalizable to individuals of normal weight with BED. However, many or most individuals with BED are obese, as demonstrated by previous studies3,5,6 and by our findings in relatives with BED, and obese individuals are the group of greatest public health importance in any case. Third, we relied on self-report to assess maximum adult body weight in all subjects, and additionally to assess current height and weight in all relatives evaluated by telephone. While self-report is less accurate than objective measurements, the resulting measurement error would be expected to be nondifferential, and thus would tend to bias the results toward the null (ie, produce overly conservative findings). Fourth, we did not assess the age at onset of obesity in participants, because we judged that retrospective determinations of this variable would be inaccurate. Thus, we were unable to use the relative timing of BED and obesity to aid in the assessment of possible causal relationships.
Finally, we found a high prevalence of BED among relatives of probands with BED and even among relatives of non-BED probands who showed a lifetime prevalence of 9.6% as compared with only 2% to 5% in population-based studies.3,8,10 Several factors may explain this difference. First, we interviewed more female than male relatives; when adjusting for the sex distribution, the lifetime prevalence of BED among the relatives of probands without BED falls to 8.6%. Second, all relatives were related to an overweight or obese proband, and familial obesity, independent of BED, may increase the risk of BED. Third, administration of the SCID by clinicians with expertise in eating disorders may be more sensitive to BED than other techniques.46 Fourth, there may have been selection in favor of greater overall psychopathology among probands or relatives. Weighing against this last possibility, however, is our finding that the lifetime prevalence of other conditions—such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, and substance abuse or dependence—among probands without BED (16.0%, 1.3%, 4.0%, and 24.0%, respectively) and relatives of probands without BED (25.0%, 2.4%, 6.4%, and 21.9%, respectively) was fairly similar to results from the National Comorbidity Study47,48 (17.1%, 1.6%, 3.5%, and 26.6%, respectively), a large population-based study of the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in the United States. Furthermore, none of these 4 factors would limit the conclusions drawn from the study in any event because the conclusions are based not on the absolute prevalence of BED, but rather the relative prevalence of BED between groups. Only bias owing to differential selection (selection that operated more strongly on the relatives of 1 proband group than the other) would affect the conclusions, and differential selection seems unlikely.
In summary, BED appears to represent a distinct familial phenotype in obese individuals, associated with familial factors independent in part from those for obesity. Elucidation of these familial factors, leading to targeted interventions, could reduce the public health burden of obesity.

SALEM - The holiday spirit, and momentum, was definitely in Struthers' court.
Never giving up the lead after Salem played strong defense, the Wildcats relied on 28 big points from junior RayQuan Phifer to give the Wildcats to 58-49 win at John Cabas Gymnasium on Monday, and a much needed victory for the Wildcats' morale.
"Coming in we lost a couple hard games," Phifer said. "We hate losing, it just irks us. It showed everyone that we could win."
Phifer started the Wildcats (2-4) off to a 9-0 run in the beginning, giving them the early shot in the arm.
"That was big for us," Phifer said. "We needed that. It just showed that we could dominate early which we needed to do."
As the second quarter progressed, the Wildcats experienced a comeback from the Quakers. Even as the Quakers narrowed the Wildcat lead to one, Phifer never felt out of it.
"We were confident," Phifer said. "We had been hurt with turnovers from them, but we also kept them into turnovers."
Phifer also went strong on the free-throw line, going 5-for-6, which was one thing Struthers coach Joe Savko said needed to happen.
"This game was big for RayQuan," Savko said. "I told him that if he can do well in free-throws, he can post big numbers, and at the same time, it helped us out a lot as well."
Phifer and the Wildcats continued to play strong, even as Phifer tuned out the "ballhog" chants that were heard throughout the game.
"That's something I don't even hear at all," Phifer said. "That doesn't even bother me."
"It's no secret that Ray is our top option," Savko said. "Even with Ray, we still have great shooters and rebounders, and just look to continue winning from here."
The Wildcats also got help from Kyle George, who tallied nine, and Austin Yemma, who scored eight.
The Quakers (2-4) had momentum shift in their direction in the second quarter with steals and scoring drives from Max Wolfgang, who led the Quakers with 26 points as well as D.J. Pullie, who netted 10 before fouling out in the fourth quarter.
Salem coach Rich Hart feels that even with Wolfgang as their top scorer, more contribution is needed from other players.
"We had another good showing from Max," Hart said. "We need a bigger contribution from other players, we needed more scoring from them. We're going to mix things up so that they can contribute more to the game."
Even with miscues and inconsistencies, the Quakers were able to keep the game close.
"I told them we can't be turning over the ball as many times," Hart said. "I don't know how we turned the ball over so many times and kept the game close, but we did. That's another thing we need to improve."
Game notes
- Because of the boys-girls double header, no junior varsity games were played on Monday.
- After the girls game, Raegan Meals was taken to the hospital for evaluations after injuring her ankle with 49 seconds left in the game.
"She rolled bad on her ankle as she fell," Salem girls coach Steve Stewart said. "She will be going to get X-rays as precaution."
STRUTHERS SCORING: Frank Serrano 0-0-0, RayQuan Phifer 11-5-28, Andrew Carbon 1-2-4, Pat Carden 0-0-0, Todd Wilkos 1-2-5, Kyle George 3-3-9, Troy Noble 2-0-4, Austin Yemma 2-2-8. TEAM TOTALS: 20, 14-17: 58.
SALEM SCORING: D.J. Pullie 3-3-10, Mark Frederickson 1-0-2, Jake Bezon 0-0-0, Tyler Shaffer 0-0-0, Alex Weikart 0-0-0, Andrew Dolphin 0-3-3, Mike Ciotti 2-0-5, Mike Popa 0-0-0, Ryan Hoover 1-0-3, Max Wolfgang 10-6-26. TEAM TOTALS: 17, 12-22: 49.
Three-point goals: Struthers 4 (Yemma 2, Phifer, Wilkos), Salem 3 (Pullie, Ciotti, Hoover).

Any gun shops near you?
They should have the proper screws.
Otherwise you can order them from Mdway & Brownell's.
You probably got 6-48 and you probably need 8-40.
February 1, 2013, 09:12 PM
Unless you mean too short...
February 1, 2013, 11:43 PM
If the screws that came with the weaver base are too small (diameter) for the tapped holes in your rifle, there is a pretty good chance you'll need to enlarge the thru holes in the base. It's not hard to do with the right tools, but it's something to be aware of.

I bought them from midway.....
February 3, 2013, 08:39 PM
The correct size for your rifle should be an 8-40 screw pitch and if you have a weaver base you want weaver oval heads on the screws not fillister heads. Either slotted heads or socket heads drive with an appropriate length. Not sure about the length for your base.

Call Weaver customer service, There pretty good at sending out replacement hardware.

Andrew Penney ('15) | Music
Senior from Allen, Texas
Music is more than a hobby for Andrew Penney. It is his future career and his passion as well. In fact, the times Andrew feels closest to God are those when he is making music.
Music is a huge part of my spiritual walk because it is exactly how I feel I can give my talents back up to God.
"Music is a huge part of my spiritual walk because it is exactly how I feel I can give my talents back up to God," he said.
Andrew is involved in seven ensembles on campus and holds two jobs in the music department. He made the decision early in his college career to sacrifice much of his free time as well as activities that weren't helping to achieve his musical goals.
Music as a career
Andrew grew up playing the trumpet and always felt a connection with music, but it was his audition at ACU that solidified his decision to pursue music as a career.
"I loved the music professors here when I met them and they, along with others, helped me realize that music was really a viable career option," Andrew said.
Andrew says he appreciates the music program at ACU because of the variety of opportunities it offers. He is able to play in various ensembles as well as perform with a church orchestra and also gain experience running sound and working with the set-up crew.
"I have found that being involved has given me great amounts of experience and a glimpse at all types of paths I can take with my trumpet playing, a valuable aspect that is not truly as available at many other schools," Andrew said.
Sacrificing for his goal
Andrew's involvement has not come without sacrifices. The hardest part of his college experience has been balancing his musical involvement with other responsibilities. However, the more involved he becomes, the more he is assured that this is the path his life should be taking.
He dreams of working with a philharmonic orchestra or running his own studio and plans to attend graduate school to fulfill these goals. Wherever Andrew ends up, he remains confident in his calling to be a musician in some capacity.
"Art forms can take a lot of time and maturity to understand, something I am still in the process of, but to me there is no doubt that my spirituality is tied into the music in my life," he said.

What a cool pic of you and OMG, those baby thighs...I can't take it!!ReplyDelete
brilliant! I shoot with a D40 but I would so love to upgrade (someday . . . maybe . . . *sigh*). Love the pigtail mama shot and those THIGHS. OH MY WORD. Lovely shots.ReplyDelete

The Keys for Hope organization is igniting a movement of kids throughout East Cooper to get involved in a very important fundraising and awareness-building project for Crisis Ministries.
Since last year, more than 700 kids have participated in key-making "workshops" in which children come together through various church, youth and school groups to learn about the cause and help create Keys for Hope. The workshops are led by a group of kids from Mount Pleasant, aged 9-12, who are determined to make a difference in a creative and meaningful way. Keys for Hope are painted, recycled keys, which are then decorated with unique buttons and embellishments. They can be used as necklaces, key chains, zipper pulls, gift tags or ornaments. The funds raised (more than $30,000 thus far) will contribute to the construction of the new homeless shelter being built by Crisis Ministries, Charleston's homeless shelter.
For the last few months, the drive has been to create 10,000 keys (which would bring in a $5 donation per key) in preparation for the Cooper River Bridge Run Expo and Kids Run/Wonderfest events on April 4 and 5. So far, kids have been involved from: Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church, East Cooper Baptist Church, East Cooper Montessori Charter School, School of the Arts, Pinckney Elementary, First United Methodist Church Isle of Palms, Life Park Church, Palmetto Presbyterian, Hibben United Methodist Church, Christ our King and various other small groups of friends. More are scheduled throughout March, including students from Wando High School.
Started by a small group of friends in October of 2011, the effort began as a way to help Charleston's homeless men, women and children. Too young to volunteer in the soup kitchen, these kids figured out a way that they could make a difference. One key at a time, they have brought an incredible amount of awareness (and money) to the cause.
To learn more, or to find out where to find the Keys for Hope displays and/or make donations, visit www.keysforhope.org or facebook.com/keysforhope.

One of the region's largest school districts keeps getting smaller.
Enrollment projections to be used in determining staffing levels for next year in the Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda School District and given to a consulting firm developing a plan for Ken-Ton's future show a continued decline.
The total enrollment in October was 7,370 students, which means Ken-Ton's enrollment has dropped by 171 students from the year before.
At Kenmore East High School, where graduating classes once surpassed 1,000 students, the overall enrollment dropped to 981 this year. The latest projections have it down to 659 by 2017-18.
Districtwide enrollment has dropped by 9.5 percent between 2008-09 and the current school year. And each of three methods used to calculate projections through 2017-18 show further decreases ranging from 4.4 percent to 6.2 percent.
The 4.4 percent figure is considered the most accurate, according to Robin B. Zymroz, director of student services.
Five-year projections, which were presented to the School Board last week, were based on enrollment counts done in each of the district's 13 buildings in early October.
"We take that information, and we use that information to project into the future," Zymroz said.
Those projections also have been given to SES Study Team of Canastota, the consulting firm hired by the School Board in August to explore the possibility of a districtwide consolidation.
Falling enrollment, stagnant state aid and increasing costs already have resulted in a decision to close Jefferson Elementary School next year. But the move by Jefferson students, current and future, into four other schools will result in only a temporary spike in their enrollments, according to Zymroz.
Meanwhile, the formal plan for Jefferson's closing is a work in progress, said School Superintendent Mark P. Mondanaro.
"There's a lot of human capital involved," he said, citing students, staff and technology.
Closing Jefferson is expected to save the district approximately $2.5 million. Even so, early work on the district's 2013-14 budget indicates a $2 million deficit because of various factors, including the depletion of reserve funds.
Programs, class sizes and staffing all took a hit in the current budget, in which the district had to dig itself out of a $12.5 million hole.
"I still don't want to see additional cuts in programs. I think that's important," said School Board President Bob Dana. "We'll fight with the tough decisions."
Other board members agreed. With all of the cuts made in recent years, member Jim Simmons said, they're already at the "bare bones" level.
Money-saving recommendations that may arise out of the consolidation study won't be a factor in the 2013-14 budget, the superintendent noted.

Creating jobs should be priority for both parties
We are now in the second term of President Obama's administration, and I see no action being taken on his jobs bill that was passed by the Senate. I spoke to one of our politicians in Albany, and he told me the GOP-held House is the reason. This bill could put 2 million-plus Americans to work, and no action is being taken. Why?
We lost 7.5 million jobs during the Bush administration, yet the House sees no reason to act on this bill. I believe the politicians we send to Washington, regardless of their political affiliations, should put the American people above their ambitions. We hear so much about the deficit, unemployment, food stamps and people on welfare. You don't have to be a brain surgeon to realize that failing to pass legislation like this is killing American workers and their dreams of supporting their families.
If we let our elected officials know our disapproval of their lack of action on this bill, maybe then we can be a better country by getting more people to work.

Is it time for Filppula to go? I honestly say no, I think he is a great two way player, plays hard on his shifts, and can make a play. Do I think he's the best player for the wings to trade (out of all our players without a no trade clause)? Yes, he is. Zetty, Helm, Franzen, and Filps are the only player that are possible to trade with value. Zetty, I mean, that's not happening. Same goes for Helm. Franzen (although I really wish we could trade him) unfortunately is signed until 2020 (dear god). So that obviously didn't pan out the way it was foreseen I honestly don't think anyone would pick up his contract, there's absolutely no way. So besides prospects and picks, Filp is just about the most valued player we have to trade away. That being said, the wings aren't going to be making blockbuster moves to attempt to get a Stanley Cup run going. For now, I'd say, let's just keep this playoff streak alive by adding a decent front 6 man, trade up a couple prospects and a lower round pick. Next summer there is a plethera of UFA's, that SHOULD be our Christmas.
I can't resist. Plethera? Don't you mean "a plethora"? Jefe, what is a plethora? Well you told me I had a plethora & I would just like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora & then find out that that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora.
And while right now there appears that there will be a plethora of available forwards hitting the market this summer, there are no guarantees. See Anaheim: Getzlaf, Ryan & Anaheim: Perry, Corey as two that people were salivating about hitting the open market who now won't. And with every one that signs, the potential price to keep Flip goes up & up like a piñata at El Guapo's birthday party.

"Its supreme merit is in projecting the play, loud and clear, with all its dizzying profundities, grotesque confusions and obscure terrors, to a contemporary audience." Richard Findlater, Plays and Players 7.82
The production values were eclectic: the fool was a blend of the silent film Charlie Chaplin and a circus clown, while Lear was reduced to a character from Waiting for Godot. Much of it was genuinely comic, an effect rarely achieved in most of the gloomy productions typical of this play. HMR.

Curve executives are in New Britain, Conn., tonight for the Eastern League All-Star Game, and one year from now the rest of the league will converge upon Altoona when Peoples Natural Gas Field hosts the circuit's midsummer showcase.
Altoona has hosted the EL All-Star Game once before - in 2006 - and that event drew 9,308 fans, which stood as the ballpark record until this year's Pirates exhibition topped 10,000.
The team was owned by Chuck Greenberg at that point, and shortly after Bob Lozinak bought the franchise back following the 2008 season, team officials began discussing when would be a good time to host the All-Star Game again.
"We had talked about it really as far back as 2009," Curve general manager Rob Egan said. "We talked about when a turn might come up for us to have a chance to do it and what the appropriate spacing of years between times that we had it here because you don't want to do it too close together.
"We just think it's a great showcase, not only for the ballclub and the ballpark, but this time around we really want it to be more a showcase about the community."
The EL All-Star Game will be held July 16, 2014, and there also will be a signature event for fans to attend the night before, although the Curve haven't decided what it will be yet. In 2006, rocker Eddie Money performed a concert at Blair County Ballpark the night before the All-Star Game.
Fact Box
EL All-Star Game
Where: New Britain, Conn.
When: 7 p.m.
Listen: Find audio links online at rockcats.com
Curve connection: RHP Jameson Taillon, RHP Casey Sadler, RHP Ethan Hollingsworth, 2B Jarek Cunningham and 3B Adalberto Santos were selected for the game
Noteworthy: Cunningham finished second in the home run derby, held Tuesday night
"We're actually weighing those options now," Egan said of the pregame event. "We have a couple of possibilities that we're looking at, and there are more that we want to explore."
Hosting an event such as the EL All-Star Game takes an enormous amount of planning. The host team not only has a game and other festivities to plan, but also must coordinate things such as travel for the players and set aside tickets for their families and friends.
Most minor league franchises have a large amount of turnover on their front office staff over time because the job requires them to work many long days throughout the season. Some franchises can't handle the extra demands of hosting an All-Star Game, but Egan knows the Curve have a large enough and experienced enough staff to pull it off.
Five members of the front office staff were with the team in 2006 - Matt Hoover, Elsie Gibney, Chris Keefer, Corey Homan and Carol Schmittle - so they know the ins and outs of putting on an EL All-Star Game.
Gibney, the team's longtime director of community relations, said the key is "definitely starting early, because there's a lot of people coming from a lot of locations and coordinating travel and things like that."
"Everybody wants to add their mom or aunt at the last minute, so it's keeping up with so and so from another team," Gibney said. "It really is an ordeal. I don't know how they do it for the Olympics, but a little Eastern League All-Star Game is bad enough."
The front office members haven't done a lot of pre-planning for next year's game just yet, but that will change in the coming months. There's a gradual buildup throughout the offseason, and Egan said one person will be put in charge as the primary coordinator for the event.
"We know the dates, and we're answering questions from people about when they can buy tickets," Gibney said.
By the time the game actually rolls around next year, thousands of manpower hours will have been spent on all the preparation and planning.
"You definitely were happy when the day came and you got to see everything that you had planned months and months for," Gibney said of the 2006 event.

A driver reaching speeds in 100 mph on Brewer Road in South County Friday night crashed north of Gamble Lane, the California Highway Patrol reported.
Tyler Lamarche, 22, Grass Valley, was driving a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO northbound on Brewer Road north of Gamble Lane at a high rate of speed at 10:22 p.m., Friday, the CHP reports. Several witnesses reported observing the Mitsubishi traveling in excess of 100 mph just prior to the collision.
According to the CHP, Lamarche failed to negotiate a left curve in the roadway and the Mitsubishi traveled off the edge of the east road and began to rotate in a counterclockwise direction. The right rear side of the car collided into a tree, inducing major damage to the vehicle, according to the report.
Lamarche and his passenger, 20-year-old Dakota Cook of Camptonville, were extricated from the vehicle by emergency personnel and transported to Sutter Roseville Medical Center for treatment of their injuries.
Drugs and/or alcohol do not appear to be a factor in this collision, although the crash remains under investigation.

For now, use what we have to the fullest

I just received an email from a friend reminding me of Nikita Khrushchev's speech before the U.N. in January 1959. At that time, the USA and the Soviet Union were bitter enemie....
"We have developed technology to make the use of coal "clean"; why inhibit its use?"
Because truly clean coal cannot compete economically with oil and gas and nuclear.

Of course, US oil production facts listed by two posters are disputed by "lil majoritwit" with that playground logic he uses so well, "I know you are but what am I".

...and the reason Russia went broke was that Regan vowed to "outspend the b*stards". Of course, government spending was OK back then as it was when we went in search of WMD in Irag "deficits don't matter". The rules regarding spending are now much different. But I did find humor in your "clean coal" reference which I believe I first heard the term in 79. I doubt we'll still be talking about battery, wind and solar 35 years from now in the same light. Those technologies work.

"We have developed technology to make the use of coal "clean"; why inhibit its use?" Because all those clean coal experiments were financial failures. It simply costs too much to "clean" coal. Look it up. In fact, if the writer wanted answers to all this questions, the information is readily available... but then the opportunity to do some political posturing would evaporate.

I am unsure of what the writer is referring to? The US is now producing over 7 million barrels of oil a day, a 20 year high and 40% increase since 2008. This boom, more than anything else, is helping power the recovery. If he is suggesting that there should be no regulation, I have 3 words for him, Deep Water Horizon.

LOCKPORT – A man who stole property from a Town of Lockport home where a bed-and-breakfast was to open last year pleaded guilty Wednesday before Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas, who scheduled sentencing for March 20.
Alexander S. Wisby, 23 of Spruce Avenue, Niagara Falls, admitted to a reduced charge of attempted third-degree grand larceny, and agreed to pay $3,742 in restitution for the June 20 theft from a Lake Avenue home.
Assistant District Attorney Theresa L. Prezioso said the stolen items included a TV, stereo and home theater systems and a computer game unit. The house on Lake Avenue, owned by Colleen Graff, was approved in February 2012 as the town's first bed-and-breakfast.

SVC Operational Excellence Instructor Makes Presentations at National Conference
Public Relations
Posted: Thursday Oct 6, 2011
Dr. Richard F. Kunkle, M.D., instructor of management and program director of management for operational excellence at Saint Vincent College, made two presentations and participated in a panel discussion at the Sixth Annual Lean Education Academic Network sponsored by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Alabama in Huntsville September 29 to October 1 in Huntsville.
Participants included representatives from Ohio State, University of Michigan, Auburn University, University of Kentucky, Old Dominion University, Loyola Marymount, University of Southern California and other colleges and universities in the United States, China and Mexico.
Dr. Kunkle delivered a presentation entitled, "Teaching Cultural Change at the Graduate and Undergraduate Level." The presentation described the pedagogy involved in teaching students how to lead cultural change in an organization to develop a culture of mutual trust and respect between leaders and front line employees.
He also presented a program on "Success of the Cultural Change First Model in Healthcare." This presentation described the implementation of the cultural change first model in a cardiovascular surgery value stream. Both the techniques and the outcomes resulted in this greenfield initiative being selected as one of the top 50 cardiovascular surgery groups in the nation within two years after initiating the program and consistently performing well above the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database averages.
The panel discussion was entitled, "Integration of Lean across Curricula." Dr. Kunkle was joined on the panel by members from Ohio State University and University of Alabama at Huntsville. Dr. Kunkle shared the integration of Operational Excellence content achieved at Saint Vincent through the support of other Saint Vincent faculty including Mark Abramovic, Jeff Godwin, Dr. William Hisker, Dr. Thomas Cline and Robert Markley. Operational Excellence has been integrated into courses in management information systems courses, finance, accounting, marketing and strategic management. SVC continues to expand its Operational Excellence courses including Advanced Statistical Process Control and Advanced Quantitative OE and Simulation.
Dr. Kunkle has been elected to the planning committee of the Lean Education Academic Network that will be held at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, in September 2012.

quote: x86-64 (also known as x64) is a 64-bit extension of IA-32, the 32-bit generation of the x86 instruction set. It supports vastly larger amounts of virtual memory and physical memory than is possible on IA-32, allowing programs to store larger amounts of data in memory. x86-64 also provides 64-bit general purpose registers and numerous other enhancements. The original specification was created by AMD, and has been implemented by AMD, Intel, VIA, and others. It is fully backwards compatible with 16-bit and 32-bit x86 code.[1](p13-14) Because the full x86 16-bit and 32-bit instruction sets remain implemented in hardware without any intervening emulation, existing x86 executables run with no compatibility or performance penalties,[2] whereas existing applications that are recoded to take advantage of new features of the processor design may achieve performance improvements.
quote: As the term became common after the introduction of the 80386, it usually implies binary compatibility with the 32-bit instruction set of the 80386. This may sometimes be emphasized as x86-32[5] or x32 to distinguish it either from the original 16-bit "x86-16" or from the 64-bit x86-64. [6] Although most x86 processors used in new personal computers and servers have 64-bit capabilities, to avoid compatibility problems with older computers or systems, the term x86-64 (or x64) is often used to denote 64-bit software, with the term x86 implying only 32-bit. [7][8]
quote: So you're both going to pretend that the convention isn't to use "x86" to refer to 32-bit stuff and "x64" to refer to 64-bit stuff?
quote: illiteratehack writes "10 years ago AMD released its first Opteron processor, the first 64-bit x86 processor . The firm's 64-bit 'extensions' allowed the chip to run existing 32-bit x86 code in a bid to avoid the problems faced by Intel's Itanium processor. However AMD suffered from a lack of native 64-bit software support, with Microsoft's Windows XP 64-bit edition severely hampering its adoption in the workstation market." But it worked out in the end.
