On December 9, 2013, we settled all pending litigation between us and Rambus, including all antitrust and patent matters.  As a result, other operating expense for the first quarter of 2014 included a $233 million charge to accrue a liability, which reflects the discounted value of amounts due under this arrangement. (See "Contingencies" note.)
