The Federal Trade Commission has busted a set of companies that infected users' computers with pop-ups, then demanded cash to make the pop-ups go away. Now, the operators of the scheme have to pay $500,000 in fines and offer removal instructions for the software on their web sites.
The operators of movieland.com, moviepass.tv, and popcorn.net all offered visitors the chance to download TV shows, movies, and other sorts of video entertainment, but the custom player software apparently contained some "notification" software as well. This software "disrupted consumers' computer use with a sequence of large pop-ups, accompanied by music, that lasted nearly a minute and could not be closed or minimized," according to the FTC.
That's annoying on its own, but what made this case even worse was the fact that the pop-ups demanded up to $99 to make the problem go away. They claimed that users had agreed to a three-day "free trial" and that the time period had passed without a cancellation. Therefore, the pop-up was "notifying" them of the fee they had agreed to pay.
Consumers were outraged, of course, since no one seemed to recall signing up for an expensive for-pay service or knew that they needed to cancel within three days. The FTC stepped in after numerous complaints and sued the companies behind the operation in a California court.
A settlement has now been reached that requires the companies to pay $501,367.95 to reimburse consumers, and the operators are forbidden from developing any future free trial schemes with a "negative-option feature." They also have to post instructions for uninstalling the software (trying to do so in the Windows Add/Remove Programs utility took visitors to a web site that continued to demand money). The uninstall routine, which has now been posted, turns out not to be tricky; users need only delete the directory containing the files.

KEENE, N.H.—Keene State College gave the Beacons their best shot, but Krista Ledin (Bridgewater, Mass.) and the Beacons answered, to take control of first place in the Little East Conference Saturday, with a 3-2 victory at the Owl Athletic Complex.
Ledin scored two second-half goals, including the game-winner with three minutes remaining, to help UMB earn their third consecutive win over the Owls who came into the contest with a 4-0 mark in Little East play.
UMass Boston moved to 13-4 and 5-1 in the conference and due to their victories over Keene State (5-1) and Western Connecticut State University (5-1), the Beacons hold the tiebreaker over both sides with two games left to play. The Owls fell to 11-4-1 and 5-1 in Little East play, after dropping their second-straight home contest.
Ledin scored 86 seconds into the second half to put the Beacons ahead 2-0 and then recorded her league-leading 24th tally of the season with 3:07 to play, to give UMass Boston their season-high fifth win a row. The Beacons junior forward eclipsed the 50-point mark for the third consecutive season and has now recorded 13 goals, including three-straight game-winning goals, and one assist (27 points) during the team's five-game winning streak.
It was far from a solo effort though, as Tayla Andrews (Plymouth, Mass.) set the tone early for the visitors, with a goal less than five minutes into the contest.
Junior Amanda Pugliese (Pembroke, Mass.) picked up assists on the first and third goals of the game for UMB, while junior midfielder Ericka Garufi (Milton, Mass.) added an assist on the second goal.
Junior goaltender Kristen Spain (Quincy, Mass.) made five saves on seven shots to move to 12-2 all-time against Little East foes.
Jessica Berthiaume and Kara Pavlidis each scored for the Owls, while junior goaltender Tori Crenson made six saves on nine shots in net.
The Beacons outshot the Owls 16-14 for the contest, but Keene State managed to earn a 4-3 edge in corner kicks.
UMass Boston took a 1-0 lead 4:18 into the game off a free kick from just outside the box. Crenson made the initial save on a drive by Pugliese, but Andrews was there to knock home the rebound into the open net.
After a scoreless 40 minutes, Ledin got the Beacons onto the board right out of halftime, as she took a short cross from Garufi and blasted it home under the crossbar to give UMB what looked like a commanding 2-0 lead at the 46:26 mark.
The Owls wouldn't go away easily though, as Berthiaume scored her team-leading ninth goal of the season at 53:34 to cut UMB's lead to 2-1.
Pavlidis tied it at 66:11, with an unassisted tally to make it 2-2 with 33 minutes remaining.
With a tie game and 33 minutes to go, both sides came up with several chances, as the two teams combined for eight shots before the final whistle.
Ledin lifted the Beacons to a late victory, when she received a terrific pass from Pugliese over the top and lifted the ball just over Crenson's hands into the back of the net, with two defenders trailing.
Keene State managed to record one more shot, a blocked shot off the foot of Berthaiume, and a corner kick in the final minute, but ultimately failed to challenge Spain before the final horn.
UMass Boston will have a few days off, before they take on regionally-ranked (#6) Brandeis University Thursday at 3:30 p.m. at the Clark Athletic field.

(visited by Aidan Karley)
01-Sep-2002 -- I've posted the main details at http://www.karley.org/KGB-MC/Cock-Cairn/cock-up.html#pointlessness
In short, some friends and I were heading off for a walk up the hill. I noticed the magic little blue cross on the map, remembered about the DCP, and instantly re-arranged my days activities to a more worthwhile aim. Photo at http://www.karley.org/KGB-MC/Cock-Cairn/20020901-0447-proof-57N-003W-Lochnagar.JPG
Where was I? Yeah - walked up there, got soggy feet, photographed a few things, got back to the car 2 hours before the hill-walkers and was having a pint while the rest of the lads were thrashing around in the dark wishing they had a torch. Bliss!

Molded hand light features waterproof switch
The HLS-760 solid rubber hand light, integrally molded to a heavy-duty cable, features a completely encapsulated waterproof on/off switch to provide safe and durable temporary lighting. A rubber "O" ring molded into the socket of the lamp neck forms a watertight seal, which eliminates problems associated with oil, dirt and moisture. A durable non-phenolic insulator further reduces moisture absorption. A nickel-plated copper alloy screw shell adds increased protection from harmful elements. Duraline

I don't know the original sentence where you take this "were found" from, but I think it's a passive sentence with past tense. Your sentence might have the structure like this: S (plural noun/you) + were found + (somewhere)... My tip for you is wherever you see "be" followed by a part participate form of verb, think of passive voice first.
Of course it's totally different from past perfect tense, because the structure of this tense is: S + had + past participate
Hope you find this useful!

Elizabeth Smart is Keynote Speaker at Women in Business Event
SIOUX FALLS - When Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped from her Utah home in 2002 I had a 7-year-old, 5-year-old and a 2-year-old. Her story was terrifying for anyone with children. I'm sure I checked, double checked and triple checked the locks on our doors every night before we went to bed. I bet I'm not the only mother who did that.
Elizabeth Smart is now a motivational speaker and will be sharing her message as the keynote speaker at the Sales and Marketing Executives Women in Business event in Sioux Falls on April 30.
Smart tells the story of her abduction but her emphasis is on overcoming adversity and how not to let your past dictate your life's future. Because of her traumatic experience she has become an advocate for child abduction programs and has led the charge on safety legislation to prevent child abductions through the Elizabeth Smart Foundation.
She studies music at Brigham Young University with an emphasis in harp performance and she also works as an ABC News Correspondent.
Trade show booths are still available. The day is filled with information for women, entertainment and dinner. Tickets are $70 and still available for the SME Women in Business event. For more information call 605-336-5626

Since 1999
Log in to view a copy of your registration: times, dates, payment status, location
Welcome to U.S. Baseball Academy, the largest network of baseball camps.
Our 2016 and 2017 programs included 60,000 players and 425 camps across 42 states.
Our 2018 schedule is even bigger and better.
U.S. Baseball Academy brings the nation's most popular training program right to your community. We're the country's largest network of baseball camps, serving a quarter million players since 1999.
At U.S. Baseball Academy Spring Training, players learn from some of the area's top high school and/or college coaches. Hitting, fielding/baserunning and catcher sessions are offered through grade 12. Pitching sessions are offered for grades 1 through 10 at high school locations, and through grade 12 for college locations.
This is not a lecture clinic. With a low player-coach ratio, each hitter and pitcher gets individual attention in a small-group atmosphere. And with numerous age-specific sessions, instruction is appopriate for all ability level. Overall, it's the type of intense, professional instruction that young players don't normally have access to.
With tuition as low as $139 for the whole four or six-week program, the value is unrivaled. Our Triple Play special gets your choice of three skill sessions (hitting, pitching, catching or fielding/baserunning), for just $317 (save $100) for the whole four or six-week program, 18 instructional sessions in all. You can choose four or six weeks of one skill for just $139, and add a second skill session for just $109 (save $40).
For four or six weeks, hitters rotate through a series of supervised stations, including batting cages, each designed to teach a different piece of hitting. Players enjoy participating in hitting games and unique drills used by the nation's top high school and college programs and developed by the U.S. Baseball Academy advisory staff. The program is designed to improve pitch and strike-zone recognition, timing, balance, quickness, power, situational hitting, bunting and other aspects. Young hitters build an invaluable foundation and a thorough understanding of the swing, while experienced players cover advanced topics such as hitting different pitches to different fields, hitting curveballs and changeups, and more.
In our six-week pitching program, pitchers work under the supervision of coaches who can help with all aspects of pitching, from fundamentals and mechanics to more advanced concepts. Drills and repetition will improve a pitcher's speed and control and allow him to begin the year in mid-season form. Please note that each pitcher must bring his own catcher (parent, sibling, friend), allowing for maximum throwing time and for coaches to work hands-on with each pitcher.
Our fielding and baserunning program will improve the skills of infielders and outfielders of any age. Fielding drills and instruction cover areas such as stance, positioning, footwork, anticipation and reaction, ground balls and fly balls, backhands, double plays, bunt coverage, cutoff-relays, rundowns, bag coverage, communication, and game situations and more. Baserunning instruction includes improving quickness and speed with proper running technique, getting out of the box, leadoffs, stealing, reading the pitcher, rounding bases, sliding, and game situations.
Our catcher's camp (grades 4-12) covers all aspects of being behind the plate. Players will get instruction on stance, signs, receiving, framing, blocking, throwing, fielding bunts, tags and the mental aspects of dealing with pitchers. Catchers must bring a mask, shin guards and chest protector.
Parents are welcome to observe, and many youth coaches leave with a valuable list of drills they can incorporate into their own practices. The timing of the program is perfect for preparing young players for the season ahead.
So, forget about the weather. What better way to get a jump on the upcoming season than a six-week Spring Training experience, featuring instruction from some of the area's best coaches in a fantastic indoor facility? Many sessions sell out months before they begin, so don't delay.
U.S. Baseball Academy hires and trains high school and/or college coaches from your local area. That's the biggest advantage of the program. While most local youth and travel team coaches have some knowledge of baseball, this is a chance for young players to get six weeks of instruction by professionally trained and experienced coaches who do this for a living. We maintain quality control by providing each location with our weekly program and the necessary equipment to run it, and training the staff.
For a schedule and registration forms for all locations, click here. Simply submit your information online to reserve your spot and mail a check within 14 days.
We hold baseball camps and offer baseball lessons all over the country, with a particularly strong presence in the following areas: Los Angeles, California; San Diego, California; San Francisco-Oakland, California; Anchorage, Alaska; Fort Myers, Florida; Sarasota, Florida; Wilmington, Delaware; Chicago, Illinois; Peoria, Illinois; South Bend, Indiana; Bloomington, Indiana; Indianapolis, Indiana; Dubuque, Iowa; Louisville, Kentucky; Owensboro, Kentucky; Fitchburg, Massachusetts; Detroit, Michigan; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Battle Creek, Michigan; Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota; Jersey City, New Jersey; Albany, New York; Syracuse, New York; Buffalo, New York; Rochester, New York; Binghamton, New York; Bismarck, North Dakota; Canton, Ohio; Dayton, Ohio; Cincinnati, Ohio; Findlay, Ohio; Columbus, Ohio; Youngstown, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Allentown, Pennsylvania; Easton, Pennsylvania; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Appleton, Wisconsin; Madison, Wisconsin.

Bound by blood? Were cop and killer father and child?
Would a cop with an otherwise clean record of service cover up a double murderer if he knew that murderer was his own flesh and blood? That's what Staunton Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Robertson is on a mission to discover as he investigates whether 1967 High's Ice Cream killer Sharron Diane Crawford Smith and Davie Bocock, the Staunton police investigator who Smith says helped her elude arrest, might have had a bond stronger than Bocock's commitment to the law.
In November, Smith confessed on her deathbed to killing of her co-workers Connie Hevener and Carolyn Perry on the night of April 11, 1967 and told police just two weeks before her death in January that she gave her .25 caliber pistol to Bocock and that the two of them buried it on Bocock's farm in Staunton on Barterbrook Road.
In a February 26 cover story, the Hook proposed one hypothesis: that Bocock–- 18 years Crawford's senior and a lifetime Staunton resident–- might have actually been Smith's father.
No father was listed in Smith's obituary in the Staunton News Leader, nor did any of Bocock's children immediately return the Hook's calls for comment. When the Hook reached Smith's mother, Delphia Bradshaw, at her present home in Salem and asked her who Smith's father was, she hung up the phone.
Now, Robertson says new information has come to light that has caused him to look into the matter further.
"After she died, someone who was close to Sharron Diane Crawford Smith came to me," says Robertson, "and said, 'I can't say for sure, but I do know that around the time Sharron was born, [Smith's mother] Delphia Bradshaw lived on Frontier Drive just around the corner from Bocock's farm on Barterbrook Road.'"
With that, Robertson said he immediately went to Staunton Circuit Court Judge Humes Franklin to get the okay to exhume Bocock's body from its final resting place in order to collect DNA to see if it matched up with Smith's. Once getting the go-ahead, Robertson contacted Reynolds Funeral Service and Crematory in Waynesboro to get the details on Bocock final resting place after his July 30, 2006 death.
"Wouldn't you know it," says Robertson, "that the son-of-a-bitch had himself cremated?"
Nevertheless, one possible means of getting a definitive answer to this burning question remains.
"I spoke with a lab in Roanoke," says Robertson, "and they say that DNA from Bocock's children would be just as good for testing."
Unfortunately for the investigation, Robertson says he's exhausted all of his legal options.
"I can't charge a dead man with a crime," says Robertson, "so there's no way for me to compel any of his children to submit DNA, and the judge won't order it."
Still, Robertson says he's confident the truth will come out as the case continues to get exposure.
"Somebody out there knows something," says Robertson. "It's just a matter of whether they want to give me an answer."
One woman who isn't talking is Delphia Bradshaw. Robertson says that when he contacted her by phone, he had no more success in coaxing Smith's mother to talk than the Hook had.
"I told her who I was and what I was investigating," says Robertson, "and she hung up on me, too."
Nevertheless, the Hook called Ms. Bradshaw back the evening of April 9, and before hanging up, she said the following, "He wasn't her father. That's my business who the father is, but he wasn't her father."

Paris and the surrounding area is divided into 5 circular zones for use in pricing public transportation passes. The RATP/STIF transit authorities recently (September 2015) changed zone prices to be either all-zone (1 through 5) or one of 3 sub-zones excluding central Paris Zone 1 (zones 2-5, 3-5, 4-5). There is a slight discount for travelers not needing central Paris coverage on their passes. Examples of popular destinations and their zones:
- Chateau Versailles & Orly Airport – Zone 4
- CDG Airport & Disneyland® Paris – Zone 5
- Fontainebleau – Zone 5
This Paris Train Zone Map (950KB PDF) displays train zones for RER trains, Transilien trains, Trams throughout fare zones 1 to 5 which applies to:
- Pass Navigo / Pass Navigo Decouverte
- Paris Visite Pass
- Ticket Mobilis (day pass)
- Ticket Jeunes (day pass for 25 and under, valid only on weekends/holidays)
Paris Metro (urban city subway) is all a single zone although it has stations in both Zones 1-2 as shown on this more detailed zone map including Paris Metro, RER and Transilien (intercity) trains (900KB PDF, opens a new window). Paris Metro tickets are valid for travel anywhere within Zone 1 and all of the Metro system is a single zone requiring only a single Metro Ticket / Ticket t+ (even if the Metro station you're at is outside of Zone 1, I realize this is confusing). Be careful at La Défense when exiting the Metro area. Be sure to use the Metro exit and not the RER exit, both of which will generally be available to you due to fences which may be opened at particular times. A RER ticket is required to pass through RER exit turnstiles, while the Metro exit will not require a ticket.
What's visible on the Zones map:
- Fare Zones ("Zones Tarifaires") 1 through 5
- RER A, RER B, RER C, D, E train lines
- RER & Transilien train network in Ile-de-France (administrative region around Paris)
- Station names along all RER/Translien train lines
- Connections ("Correspondances") and transfer possible between different RER, Transilien, and RER to Transilien trains
- Shuttle bus ("navettes bus") from RER C station: Pont de Rungis and Orly Airport
- Orlyval train to Paris-Orly Airport between RER B station: Antony and Orly West / Orly South airport terminals, which requires a special fare ("tarification spéciale")
- Major tourist sites ("Sites touristiques") accessible from certain stations

San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker said he sustained a scratched retina on one of his eyes during a brawl in New York City nightclub Thursday, according to NBA.com.
The fight involved singer Chris Brown and members of hip-hop star Drake's entourage.
Parker described the incident Friday in Paris during a news conference posted on YouTube while wearing dark sunglasses. He said he expects to be sidelined for about a week while his French team prepares for the London Olympics.
The San Antonio star said he was wearing a "therapeutic" contact lens and had to go to an emergency room for treatment in Paris.
"I was with my friend Chris Brown and me and my friends took some punches, so I'll be missing the start of the French team because I can't do anything for a week except keep the lens in and then take drops," Parker said.
Police said Brown, his girlfriend and his bodyguard were among several people injured during the fight early Thursday at W.i.P in SoHo.
The Spurs declined to comment.

Green Living Tip: Travel by Train Instead of by Car or Plane
Train travel is by far a more energy-efficient mode of transportation than either driving or flying. If you take the train somewhere, you can reduce your carbon footprint to less than half of what you would generate in a car or plane.
When you think about taking a long trip by train, you might think of a lot of negatives: spending more than you would for airline tickets; giving up many hours of time to travel; and changing trains multiple times, sometimes in the middle of the night. Needless to say, many people cop out and burn up tons of CO2 emissions in their car or on a plane rather than endure a train ride. (To find out just how much pollution you produce, check out the carbon offset site at the Native Energy site.)
However, you can be heartened that one of President Obama's key stimulus commitments is to fund high-speed rail service with $13 billion.
While $13 billion is not enough to fuel the realization of a nationwide high-speed rail, it's one more drop than we had before — and already it's sparking dialogue and furthering the re-thinking of transportation as we know it.
The stimulus money may not carry us to the end of our journey to a more sustainable transportation system. But maybe, just maybe, it could be enough to push us past the tipping point and power the little engine that could.

These data mining techniques are being used by librarians to improve both internal decision-making and external user services by extracting information from operational datasets of both bibliographic and user data. OCLC Programs and Research has taken advantage of the WorldCat database, which includes more than 95 million bibliographic records and 1.2 billion holdings records, as well as data provided by other major library systems and consortia.This panel will report on several prototypes and research projects (http://www.oclc.org/research/projects/mining/) involving both data mining and data visualization, that can be utilized for the development of user services.
This panel will culminate in a response from Scott Nicholson, a well-known researcher in data mining and bibliomining. It is anticipated that the audience will be library practitioners and researchers interested in data mining and the development of evidence-based user services who will interact in a discussion and question and answer session led by the moderator.

Thyroid publishes original studies, reviews, and guidelines on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapy of thyroid disorders, including those in the fields of neoplasia, autoimmunity, development, genetics, molecular and cell biology, and nutrition.
Please note that reports on Patients with Remarkable Features or Rare Disorders are only considered if they provide novel mechanistic insights into the underlying pathogenesis or new aspects that impact clinical management. Thyroid considers short reports on novel mutations associated with genetic thyroid disorders or recurring mutations that provide novel insights into the phenotypic spectrum associated with the disorder.
Manuscripts must be submitted online through the publisher's online peer-review system, Manuscript Central, using the following URL:
There is a non-refundable $85 per manuscript submission fee to subsidize the cost of manuscript processing. This non-refundable fee is charged regardless of the editorial outcome and/or decision. We accept Visa/MasterCard for payment by credit card. Please be sure to include the account number, the card expiry date, and the name of the cardholder.
To help defray the cost of printing, the publisher requests that page charges, currently $70 per printed page, be paid by all authors who have funds available from research grants or their institutions.
These payments are not a prerequisite for publication of any manuscript.
Liebert Instant Online (LION)
To enable the release of new scientific findings as quickly as possible, the Journal has a policy of pre-publishing all manuscripts in their unedited format upon acceptance. The papers will have undergone full peer review but will not yet have been copyedited, typeset, or proofread/corrected by the authors. All accepted papers appear online within 72 hours of acceptance as a part of Liebert Instant Online (LION).
Following its appearance on LION, the paper will progress through the normal production process, including author correction of galley proofs and online publication of the final edited and typeset manuscript ahead of print.
It is essential to note that, as part of the LION program, the data that is published instantly online after acceptance – and in Medline – is pulled directly from the information that was populated into the fields in Manuscript Central upon submission not as listed in the manuscript Word document. Consequently, any errors contained in the system will remain on our website and all indexing services, including Medline/PubMed, until the next revision of the article is published. It is therefore critically important to submit the correct names and email addresses of all authors under the "my authors" section when uploading your manuscript. This author list is what will be used for the Journal's LION program and its initial listing on PubMed.
No errors appearing on our website, or in Medline, can be corrected until the subsequent revision is published.
The next revision will take place after the corresponding author reviews the page proofs, makes any necessary corrections, and returns the changes to the Publisher. Once all alterations are made, the revised version will be published on our website, and the newly corrected information will be released to Medline/PubMed, in addition to any other indexing services in which the Journal is included.
The typical time between acceptance of a paper and page proof distribution is approximately 4-8 weeks depending on the length and complexity of the paper.
Peer Review. Regular articles, solicited and unsolicited reviews, and letters to the editor will be peer-reviewed by the editor, members of the Editorial Board, and ad hoc reviewers. Thyroid will accept original manuscripts that contain material that has not been reported elsewhere, except as an abstract of no more than 350 words. Prior abstract presentations should be described as a footnote to the title. Submissions must be accompanied by a cover letter requesting evaluation for publication in Thyroid. The authors must confirm that the manuscript has been submitted solely to Thyroid and is not submitted, in press, or published elsewhere. They must also confirm that all the research meets the ethics guidelines, including adherence to the legal requirements of the country where the study was performed. The authors are encouraged to suggest names of appropriate reviewers and may also request that a particular individual not serve in that capacity.
Institutional Review and Clinical Trials. For clinical studies, experimental subjects should be described in detail and the institutional review and informed consent should be obtained as appropriate. Clinical trials should have prospective and public registration or else they may not be considered for publication. The authors should ascertain that their experimental procedures are in compliance with the guiding principles in the "Care and Use of Animals" published in the Information for Authors of the American Journal of Physiology.
Acceptance for Publication. Once the peer-review process has been completed, the authors may be invited to submit one or more revisions. Invitation to submit a revision does not indicate that the revised manuscript will be accepted for publication. Manuscripts will be published if they are accepted for publication by the editor-in-chief, if the submitted information is valid, if guidelines for ethical conduct of research, permissions, and acknowledgment of non-original work are received, and if the publisher's criteria for publication are met, which includes also assignment of copyright.
Authors' Responsibility: Originality/Permissions. The authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce figures, tables, and text from previously published material. Written permission must be obtained from the original copyright holder (generally the publisher, not the author or editor) of the journal or book concerned. An appropriate credit line should be included in the figure legend, table footnote, or text, and full publication information should be provided in the reference list. Written permission must be obtained from the author of any unpublished material cited from other laboratories, and it should accompany the manuscript. Any permission fee or cost levied by other publishers and/or authors is the sole responsibility of the author(s) submitting material to Thyroid.
Thyroid requires using Word for the preparation of the manuscript file (MS file). Do not submit text files as PDF files. Use double-spaced format with standard font size 12. Avoid complex formatting such as columns. Use the "Tab" key at the start of a paragraph rather than the paragraph indent feature. The entire document should be paginated and all lines should be numbered throughout the entire manuscript.
The order of appearance of elements of the MS file is (1) title page(s), (2) abstract, (3) main body, (4) acknowledgments and disclosures, (5) name and address of corresponding author, (6) references, and (7) tables. (The Journal's standard rules for Abbreviations and Nomenclature are discussed later.)
Title Page. This should include (1) the title of the article, (2) all authors' full names, (3) all authors' highest-earned academic degrees, (4) all authors' complete affiliations, and (5) all authors' full contact information, including e-mail addresses. (Do not use abbreviations in the title of the manuscript.)
Below the author information, include the running title and at least five key words for indexing.
Abstract. Abstracts are required for all manuscripts except Letters to the Editor, Editorials, News, and Commentary. In general, abstracts should not exceed 350 words. Do not cite references in the abstract. Abbreviations can be used but should be defined in the abstract. For a Clinical or Basic Original Study the abstract must be organized into the following four sections: Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Start each section of the abstract in a new paragraph. The Background section should have one or two sentences regarding the background, followed by one or two sentences that state the objective of the study or the hypothesis that is tested in the study. The Conclusions should not restate the results but rather summarize the major findings and provide the reader an indication of their importance and how they alter, support, extend, or refute widely held concepts. For Reviews or Scholarly Dialog the abstract sections are as follows: Background, Summary, and Conclusions. For Patients with Remarkable Features or Rare Disorders the abstract sections are as follows: Background, Patient Findings, Summary, and Conclusions.
Main Body. The main body of the text should follow the abstract, followed by a page break. For a Clinical or Basic Original Study and for Case Studies use the following sections: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. The Introduction should state the hypothesis in specific terms and provide a brief background that supports its rationale and importance. Reviews and Scholarly Dialog should be organized into the following sections: Introduction, Review, Summary, and Conclusions. For Patients with Remarkable Features or Rare Disorders there should be a brief introduction followed by a section titled Patient (not "Case") followed by a discussion.
Acknowledgments. This section is optional and can be used to recognize any source of institutional or governmental funding for your research, or to thank colleagues whose assistance impacted your article.
Disclosure Statement. Immediately following the Acknowledgments section, a section entitled "Author Disclosure Statement" must be included. This text must be part of your MS file.
In this portion of the manuscript, the authors must disclose any commercial association that might create a conflict of interest in connection with submitted manuscripts. This statement should include appropriate information for each author, thereby representing that competing financial interests of all authors have been appropriately disclosed according to the policy of the journal. It is important that all conflicts of interest, whether they are actual or potential, be disclosed. This information will remain confidential while the manuscript is being reviewed and will not affect the editorial decision.
Please see the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals at www.icmje.org/index.html#conflicts for further guidance. If no conflicts exist, the authors must state, "No competing financial interests exist."
References. The references should include all author names. Cite references in text as consecutive numbers in parentheses, e.g., (11). The authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references and should be reminded that inaccurate references are highly frustrating to the reader, the cited author, and indexing services. If you are using EndNoteTM Reference ManagerTM software, use the Output Styles for Thyroid. Standard abbreviations found in Medline should be used for journal names. The format for references is as follows:

Tables. Each table should appear on its own page. Tables should not contain data that can be given in the text in one or two sentences. There should be enough information in each table such that it can be understood independently of the text. The most important details of experimental conditions can be included in the table footnotes, and the reader can be referred to the Methods section for additional information. If the tables contain important information on methodology, there should be a brief reference in the Methods section directing the reader to the table containing the information.
Figure Legends
Each supplied figure requires a figure legend. All legends should be prepared double spaced, numbered consecutively, and supplied in one Word document (not as individual Word files). Do not include figure legendds in the main text file.
Figures should be numbered in the order cited in the text.
BRIEF REPORTS on novel mutations associated with inherited thyroid disorders:
Reports on novel mutations associated with genetic thyroid disorders or recurring mutations that provide novel insights into the phenotypic spectrum should be limited to 750 words, 4 references, and 1 figure or table.
1. The index subject and family members should be evaluated with appropriate informed consent or/and assent.
2. Minimum information on the index subject should include: sex, age at the time of investigation, consanguinity, ethnic background and clinical presentation. The mode of transmission should be reported unless it is a de novo mutation.
3. Results from thyroid function testing are mandatory and abnormalities should be validated with a repeat measurement. When available, include relevant ancillary studies.
4. The minimum requirement is the study affected and unaffected first-degree relatives; if this is not possible, the reason for not studying family members should be mentioned. Include both clinical data and thyroid function tests.
5. Results from thyroid function tests should be as detailed as possible. Include analytical method, reference range, whether the sample was taken with or without treatment, and how long the treatment was stopped prior to the sampling. In case of dynamic testing (e.g. TRH test, T3 suppression test), indicate dose, duration, whether the individual was on any other treatment, and reference range for response.
6. Information regarding the identification of the mutation should include the source of DNA or RNA, the method of isolation and mutational analysis. Indicate cDNA and protein change and clarify the numbering of amino acids, for example in the presence of a signal peptide indicate if the numbering refers to the mature molecule or not.
For the description of mutations refer to Antonarakis SE 1998 Recommendations for a nomenclature system for human gene mutations. Hum Mutat 11(1): 1-3. When the mutation is not present in the parents of the index subject, haplotype data could be added to support the presence or absence of allele sharing.
7. If the mutation is novel and not reported previously, provide evidence that it has not been reported in public databases (e.g. 1000 Genomes, dbSNP, Genome Variant Server) and that it is not a simple polymorphic variant. Provide in silico information on the expected effect of the mutation on protein function reporting scores from the SIFT and PolyPhen-2 algorithms. If possible, there should be data showing that the mutation has functional consequences. If in silico data is not supportive of the latter, in vitro studies should be included. If available, add information about protein structure and function, and interaction with other molecular partners.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR(S): Letters to the Editor(s) are welcomed, but with a 500 word limit and no more than one (1) table OR figure, and with a maximum of four (4) references. Letters to the editor can be submitted in response to a recently published article in Thyroid or to highlight relevant observations related to thyroid disorders. They should not be a format to present the authors' unpublished work.
Figure or Image Files. Each figure or image should be submitted as a separate file in a .tif or .eps format. They should be numbered in the order cited in the text. Please name figure and table files with the last name of the first author. (e.g. SmithFig1). Do not include any symbols or puncutation within the file name.
Figures and images should not show the name of a manufacturer or reveal patients' names. Please keep in mind that the figures will be reduced, so do not submit large figures/graphs that contain small type, as the text within the figure will not be readable after reduction.
Please follow these instructions when preparing figure files for uploading.
- Line illustrations must be submitted at 900 dpi.
- Halftones and color photos should be submitted at a minimum of 300 dpi.
- Power Point files cannot be uploaded.
- Save art as either TIFF or EPS files. Avoid submitting JPEG or PDF files.
- Color art must be saved as CMYK, not RGB.
- Color illustrations can be printed in the journal, with a subsidy from the author(s).
If you need directions on how to convert a Power Point slide to acceptable format, go to www.liebertpub.com/MEDIA/pdf/ppconvert.pdf.
Please do not upload a single PDF containing all text, image, and table files. Upload individual files of all manuscript material. Once all individual files are uploaded on to Manuscript Central, the system will automatically create a single PDF proof for you and for the peer-review process.
Abbreviations and nomenclature should follow recommendations of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB; Recommendations on Biochemical and Organic Nomenclature, Symbols and Terminology) at www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iubmb/. The International System of Units (SI units) is recommended, but conventional units may also be used. In either case, it is desirable to include appropriate conversion factors to aid the reader. The list of abbreviations in the journal Endocrinology is generally acceptable in Thyroid. Novel abbreviations should be kept to a minimum and must be defined when they first appear. Drug names should always be generic. Pedigrees should be drawn according to published standards (see AJHG 56:745–752).* Human gene names and loci should be written in italicized capital letters and Arabic numerals (e.g., PAX8). Mouse genes should be written in italic using sentence case (e.g., Pax8). Protein names are not italicized (e.g., PAX8). For the description of human mutations refer to, Hum Mutat 11:1–3. (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/ fulltext/5001291/PDFSTART). † When a manuscript that contains novel sequences is accepted, the sequences must be deposited in the appropriate database (such as GenBank), an accession number obtained before the manuscript is sent to the publisher, and the accession number added in a footnote.

The online submission process requires filling out and checking off menu-driven forms and uploading files. The final PDF of the manuscript reviewed by reviewers and editors is generated from multiple sources, including files uploaded and information entered on the Web by the authors.
All manuscripts, regardless of category or type, must be submitted online using the following URL: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ thyroid
First-time authors should register and obtain a username and password that provides access to their Author Center for present and future manuscript submissions. Once logged in to the Author Center, click on the "Submit a Manuscript" link to submit a new manuscript.
First screen: Select the type of manuscript that you consider best fits your manuscript. Occasionally, the editor will recommend a change in manuscript type based on the manuscript's content and the journal's format. Copy the title, running head, and abstract from your main text file(s) and paste them into the appropriate fields. If the type of manuscript you are submitting does not require an abstract (Editorials, Commentary, and Letters), enter "No abstract required." Finally, check if you are submitting the manuscript on your own behalf and that of your coauthors, or if you are submitting the manuscript on the authors' behalf.
Second screen: Gives an option for assigning keywords to the manuscript.
Third screen: Enter the authors' names, e-mail, institution, and address.
Fourth screen: Provides an option to list preferred and nonpreferred reviewers. The authors are encouraged to suggest names of appropriate reviewers, particularly if their manuscript is in a very specialized area or one not often featured in Thyroid.
Fifth screen: For entering a cover letter and manuscript information. Answer all questions on this page.
Sixth screen: Used to upload the MS file and the figure and image files.
Seventh screen: Like the earlier screens, it is menu driven. It provides an opportunity to review prior entries and flags required fields for which data were not provided. It concludes the option to submit the manuscript.
The responses to reviewers and editors should be included in the cover letter, not in a separate file. It is important that the responses include statements regarding what changes were made in the revised manuscript. If the authors do not think that a change is required, it should be indicated. If the revision is submitted in Word®, use the Track Changes feature in the Tools menu to show the changes; otherwise, highlight the changes. If there is no change in the number of figures or images and their order in the manuscript does not change, the previously submitted files are still valid and can be retained in the revision, but check to see if the labeling of figure files is still valid. If newer versions of tables and/or figures need to be uploaded, please delete old files from previous versions of the manuscript.
Proofs are generally prepared soon after manuscripts are accepted for publication. Almost all original articles, reviews, scholarly dialog, case studies, remarkable patients, and most letters will be sent for online ahead-of-print publication (EPub) shortly after the proof has been approved by the author, editor, and publisher.
Reprints may be ordered by following the special instructions that will accompany page proofs, and should be ordered at the time the corresponding author returns the corrected page proofs to the Publisher. Reprints ordered after an issue is printed will be charged at a substantially higher rate..

For two hours on Jan. 21 a group of Madbury residents followed Peter Rice and Dave Allen through the various areas which make up Portsm-outh's new water treatment plant on Freshet Road. Rice is Portsmouth's City Engineer, while Allen is the city's Deputy Director of Public Works.
They explained in detail not only the building but the journey the treated water takes from the time it leaves the 700-acre Bellamy Reservoir until it is ready for their customers to drink it. Rice called the system "regional" since 55% of the water Portsmouth provides to its residents as well as to its customers at Pease International Tradeport, Newcastle, Newington, and parts of Greenland, Rye, Durham and Madbury originates at the reservoir, supplemented by three wells along Johnson Creek close to the treatment plant.
The new plant is LEED-certified, the first water treatment plant so designated in New England. Rice explained the solar enhancements which reduce energy consumption, reducing by approximately 50% the fuel consumption. He pointed out that the materials used in building were mostly locally-obtained or recycled, with recycled/reused construction waste 90% diverted from landfill.
Utilizing an aerial map, the engineer described the aeration system which is in place at the reservoir. "This helps pretreat the water." Other systems allow sunlight to begin to clear the water. These systems are close to the dam and "can sometimes give the impression of the Lochness Monster," according to Rice, because of the air being pumped into the water. The area covered by the aerial map shows forested land around the reservoir, which appears to have prompted Madbury's Conservation Commission Chairman Eric Fiegenbaum to ask if it might not be prudent to try to enhance the protection efforts relative to the watershed management.
Rice agreed that keeping development away from the reservoir would be wise, which initiated discussion of how this might be achieved. He suggested that workshops be set up with the proper town committee to begin such dialogue. Selectman Bruce Hodsdon suggested the place to start would be with the Water Resources Board. Then all moved to the computer heart of the plant, which is controlled remotely.
Seven people work at the plant. Someone is always monitoring the system, which can be done off-site. A generator is ready to take over in case of power outage. The "electricity" room has a full wall of colored lights. There are several levels within the building, with huge pipes in some areas and large pools in others. Here the foreign particles in the 2.5 to 3 million gallons of water processed daily are made to float to the surface by inducing air bubbles beneath the water. Then the sludge is recovered, used as a soil enhancer, according to Rice It was obvious that the engineers are proud of the new facility, which replaces a 1958 plant which, according to Rice, "had reliability problems" and was not capable of meeting EPA standards.
The Oyster River Youth Association's conceptual plan for doubling the size of the playing area at Tibbett's Field was discussed in detail at a Jan 23. informational meeting held by the selectmen. ORYA provides sports opportunities for children of Durham, Lee and Madbury, ages kindergarten through eighth grade. Their plan is to create a new playing field with irrigation installed in the present field as well, enlarging the parking area, with ORYA picking up the tab. The selectmen have indicated that a contract would set forth the responsibilities of each party, as well as the length of the agreement, which, presumably could be renewed. Selectman Jay Moriarty explained that, while the selectmen have the authority to go forward with such agreements, this board will be seeking "the sense of the Town Meeting" on March 13, hence this meeting to acquaint residents with the proposal.
ORYA representatives Nick Scuderi, Ben Genes, and Mike Gamache presented the plan. ORHS coach Corey Packard spoke in favor. The ORYA lost three playing fields a couple years ago at the winery in Lee when the owners needed the acreage to support their growing business. Consequently, the men reported that there has been a shortage of fields since.
Abutters to Tibbett's Field spoke in support. Chuck Goss, while making some suggestions which could help ensure a friendly relationship, said he feels the plan "is of great public benefit." George Mattson has had "a good working relationship with ORYA" (which has been using the existing Tibbett's Field), and touched only on maintenance issues.
In conjunction with the Acidotic Snowshoe Race on Feb. 18 the Friends of Madbury Library will have a raffle fund-raiser to benefit the Building Fund for a new library, with themed baskets to be won. At least five themed baskets will be on exhibit at the library from Feb. 11, where tickets will be available. On Feb. 18 the baskets will be at the Town Hall, where the race events will be coordinated. Themed baskets will include breakfast, doggy, kiddy, chocolate and movie night. Tickets will be $l each or 6 for $5.
On Jan 30 at the library there will be a free CPR course from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Participants will receive an American Heart Association card. Space is limited; register at the library, 743-1400. Rosa, the Reading Dog, is a monthly visitor at the library. She'll be there on Feb 8 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Children can be signed up at the library. The Quilt Group is meeting again, on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. Call for details.

Stainless steel has become the standard finish for many when replacing kitchen appliances.
The growing popularity of commercial ranges like Viking and Wolf ranges introduced stainless steel to the kitchen.
And soon homeowners wanted to coordinate the clean, contemporary look with refrigerators, dishwashers and microwaves.
But environmental concerns wisely also influence purchasing decisions today.
The Star Tribune's Fixit columnist, Karen Youso, posed the question of whether stainless steel appliances should worry eco-conscious consumers.
Her answer, happily, is no:
Stainless steel can be — and is — recycled. (According to the International Stainless Steel Forum, new stainless-steel products are made from about 60 percent recycled stainless.) Its alternative, enameled steel, also is recyclable, so stainless steel isn't significantly better or worse for the environment.
But materials aren't all that important when trying to determine how earth-friendly home appliances are. What matters most is energy efficiency, said Lise Laurin, founder of EarthShift, a Vermont company that works with corporations and institutions on sustainability.
Of course, we recycle replaced appliances for free on most purchases, so you can feel comfortable about upgrading to stainless steel. Just make them Energy Star appliances.
