Flavia Victorious in Viña del Mar
Published February 17, 2008 12:00
VIÑA DEL MAR, Chile - Although it may not have had a fairytale finish, Flavia Pennetta's title run in Viña del Mar was definitely another successful chapter for one of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour's best clay courters. After reaching the final without dropping a single set, Pennetta had the dubious honor of capturing the trophy on a 64 54 retirement victory over Klara Zakopalova.
Pennetta, who was the top seed and a heavy favorite at the inaugural Cachantun Cup, breezed through all four of her pre-final matches with the loss of only 16 games, including beating No.7 seed Kaia Kanepi 63 63 in the quarterfinals and routing No.4 seed Pauline Parmentier 62 60 in the semifinals. Her championship match with No.8 seed Zakopalova was evolving into her closest; but serving for the trophy at 64 54, 15-0, her Czech oppponent fell and injured her left ankle, and wouldn't be able to continue.
"It always feels better to play the last point and have the sensation of winning, but this happens," Pennetta said. "It was an incredible week for me. I felt really comfortable all week here in Viña del Mar. Thanks to the men's tournament, I think they really knew what the players wanted this week. I give it a 10!"
The 2008 Viña del Mar trophy is the Pennetta's fifth, joining 2004 Sopot, 2005 Bogotá, 2005 Acapulco and 2007 Bangkok in her cabinet. With the exception of Bangkok last autumn, they have all come on clay.
Pennetta has been one of the best players during the Latin American clay court season in the past, and with her five wins this week has improved her win-loss record to 38-8. She is 14-4 lifetime in Bogotá (she was the champion in 2005 and a runner-up in 2006), 19-5 in Acapulco (champion in 2005 and runner-up in 2004, 2006 and 2007) and now 5-0 here in Viña del Mar.
This was Zakopalova's ninth career Sony Ericsson WTA Tour singles final and she is now 2-7 in those. She started with a five-final losing streak but improved to 2-6 after a breakout 2005 season, where she won 's-Hertogenbosch, finished runner-up at Palermo and then won Portoroz.
"I was very happy to make it to the final this week," Zakopalova stated. "Flavia deserved to win; she was playing better than me. I'm not really sure how I fell. I think I was expecting a forehand and was running towards it, but then she hit a backhand and I had to change directions, and I slipped and fell."
The week was half-full of surprises in Viña del Mar. The top half of the draw was true to form, with all four seeds reaching their projected quarterfinal berths and Pennetta and Parmentier squaring off for a spot in the final. But down below it was a much different story, with Zakopalova being the only seed to make it to her quarterfinal berth - No.3 seed Emilie Loit was bounced in the first round, No.2 seed Gisela Dulko pulled out of the event after winning her first round match due to a left hamstring strain, and No.6 seed Sara Errani was ousted in the second round. Mariya Koryttseva would emerge as Zakopalova's semifinal hurdle, only to be vanquished in straight sets.
The doubles final was played on Saturday afternoon and it was Liga Dekmeijere and Alicja Rosolska who prevailed against Koryttseva and Julia Schruff, 75 63. It was the first Tour title of any kind for both Dekmeijere and Rosolska, who were responsible for bouncing the tournament's highest seeds - Iveta Benesova and Bethanie Mattek-Sands - en route to the final.

We rode the elevator to the sixteenth floor in relative silence. Up until this point our chatter had been unstoppable, but the moment he asked me up, something had shifted. The elevator dinged and I followed him down the hall to his room. He opened the door to one of the nicest hotel rooms I had ever experienced, making my "luxury" suite look like a destitute hovel. The living area furniture was modern, and the bathroom huge. The shower was completely open.
I wandered past the bed and out onto the balcony, my eyes met with a wall of light. Las Vegas had always struck me as a shiny jewel nestled amongst a pile of garbage, and the visible horizon past the cheaply made suburban track homes of barren desert affirmed the assertion. Justin appeared next to me holding two Pabst Blue Ribbon cans of beer. We cracked them opened, giving each other an awkward cheers. Both of our gazes settled downward onto the hotel's club, where we had a perfect bird's eye view.
"I really hope that music stops before I go to bed," he said staring downward. It was true; the sound was so loud that we could have had our own club up in that small enclave.
"Doubtful old man," I sighed taking a sip of beer. I turned to face him.
"I'm not old," he said feigning offense.
"Well, you're certainly older than me," I chided. He shot me stern look, which only made my eyes sink deeper into deviation. It must have worked because he laughed and shook his head as he lowered himself into the outdoor chair.
I stayed standing, facing him with one hand still on the railing. I kicked my high heels off to the side and slowly worked my overheated arches into the cool cement. With my beer still in hand, I began to practice the basic five ballet positions, moving into more complex exercises. "I used to do ballet, you know," I said as my gaze followed the sweating beer can gracefully moving from one position to another.
"I see that," he said, his eyes focused on my movement. I slowly lifted my leg exceptionally higher than the average person, as I peeked out of my peripheral just in time to notice his nostrils flare and his knuckles whiten in the desired effect. I let my leg fall to the floor as I shuffled barefoot over towards him. I stood over him seated in the chair with my hands supporting myself on the chair's arms, straddling him for just a moment. I walked back inside and lazily flopped on the bed.
It didn't take him very long to follow me like a lost puppy. He threw his large frame onto the mattress, causing me to popcorn slightly.
"Watch it! The beer will spill," I playfully scolded.
"Don't worry, there's plenty more," he assuaged as he fiddled with the remote control, his eyes glued to the television.
"You know what I meant," I said as I lightly pushed his shoulder. As he looked up at me, I instantly knew exactly what he had looked like as a small boy, and I softened. Sometimes with very special people, you can look into their eyes and know exactly who they were as a kid because they never lost their childlike wonder.
The youthful spirit I saw in his eyes pounced on top of me, and before I knew it, I was pinned. Youthful play wrestling is foreplay for adults, and I never tire of it. My eyes widened in mischief as he caught his breath over me. I felt him slightly loosen his grip on my left arm, which I took as an opportunity to poke my fingers into his ribs. He recoiled with laughter and fell backward. I seized my chance as I threw one leg over his waist and sat on top of his belly, which undulated in waves as he laughed. I fell forward as my hands found his wrists, pushing them into the down feather pillows. My face hovered above his, our breath meshing in the space between our mouths. Without warning, he flipped me on my back and held me down in a very compromising position.
"Did you really think you were stronger than me?" he teased. I grunted a response with clenched teeth as I struggled to free my limbs. When I had exhausted myself, my body went limp and my face relaxed. We stared at each other in elongated moments, the air between us thick with sex. I knew he was going to kiss me from the moment he asked me for a post dinner drink. It was only a matter of time before he pressed his lips against mine, and wiggled his tongue into my welcoming mouth.
He kissed me with intent, and the weight of his warm body on top of mine felt comforting. His large hands cupped my face as he pulled away and stared at me, too intensely for someone I had just met.
"I don't think I've ever met anyone like you before," he said suddenly serious.
"Oh, sure you have. Girls are a dime a dozen," I smiled and let my head roll to the side. He bent down to gently kiss my neck.
"No, I really haven't," he said into my hair with a noticeable detection of wistful regret. He might have been sorry that our paths had not crossed sooner. Or maybe he really wished we had never met all, so he could live in blissful ignorance that I could have ever been an option. I'll never know because I haven't seen him since that night.
He pushed himself off me and rolled into a comfortable sleeping position. It was very late; I hadn't really realized. "Just sleep here tonight. It will be nice to sleep with someone," he said with his eyes still closed and his hands wandering my legs.
I looked down at him with a half-smile reserved for small children who say something silly, and unknowingly poignant. I felt something hard press into my thigh, and I looked down to see his hand gripping my leg. That ring had been taunting me all night. Its existence had never been fully disclosed, but its presence hung in the air like smoke.
It was the reason I knew that the night would never bring more than innocent kisses, flirtations, and deep conversations you can only have with a stranger. It was the reason I had to leave his hotel room at three in the morning. It was the reason our intimacy was strangled by caution tape.
"No, I really shouldn't stay," I said as I got up to collect my things. Once I had pulled myself together I bent over the bed to kiss his cheek goodnight, and really goodbye. I'd never felt so sorry for anyone in my life.
As I stepped out into the warm desert night waiting for a cab, I felt nothing. It wasn't a bad nothing, or an empty nothing. This nothing was something; I just hadn't felt it in quite some time.

The Boy Scouts of America on GLBTQ
A dozen years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that the Boy Scouts of America had the right to exclude gays. And while the organization won that case, the ruling and the perpetuation of its discriminatory policy damaged its "brand" in the eyes of many.
Now comes the encouraging news that the organization may drop the gay exclusion.
A spokesman says the national board is considering a change that would allow sponsoring organizations like churches, companies and schools to decide for themselves whether their scout units would admit gays.
Under this approach, the national organization "would not, under any circumstances, dictate a position to units," said spokesman Deron Smith. The change could be announced this week.
That would not end discrimination for all scout units, but it would mark an important step in the right direction. More, it would create momentum for gradual change throughout the organization.
It seems apparent the national board was reluctant to issue an organization-wide edict with the potential to create deep fissures in scouting as a whole. Mormon, Roman Catholic and Southern Baptist churches sponsor many scout units, and those denominations have been strong supporters of the gay exclusion. Many may well continue that policy.
Yet allowing sponsoring groups to decide on their own would inevitably set things in motion. Many troops would drop the ban, as indeed some have already. Once gays are accepted at the troop level, summer camps would be expected to accommodate all as well. As time passed, the number of troops maintaining the exclusion would shrink.
"I don't think it matters if you're gay or straight," Eagle Scout Eric Jones told The Kansas City Star. He's right, yet after telling his camp director he was gay, Jones was removed from a leadership position at a scout camp near St. Joseph.
These and similar instances have been unfair to affected scouts and leaders and have damaged scouting's standing. The organization's national board should follow up on last week's announcement and rescind blanket application of the anti-gay policy.

Copies existed long before Xerox machines, as Dr. Know explains in this question from the March 2012 issue.
While on vacation in St. Augustine, we went to see that city's famous Bridge of Lions. Imagine our surprise to discover that the lions were UC's Mick and Mack! Which city's leonine landmarks came first? —Cat Fancier Dear Fancier:The Doctor wonders if there is any city (other than Boston) whose citizens are as sure as Cincinnatians that their city is the font of all in this world that is good, artistic, useful, or interesting? The truth is that the Ohio and Florida lions you describe are actually leoni, copies of Italian originals. And that the pair on the University campus were not originally academic. They were picked up by 19th century Northside plutocrat Jacob Hoffner in his travels and donated by his estate after his death. The mascots' names would, then, more properly be Michele and Macco. The originals, one Roman, one Renaissance, may be seen, the Doctor believes, under the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence (Italy, not Kentucky).
As to the Augustine doppelgangers, the Doctor must sadly inform you that the pirating of intellectual property that causes us so much intellectual and financial distress these days is no recent phenomenon. Sculpture has been knocked off since it was invented, and much of the knocking off has been carried out by the sculptors themselves, happy to spread around as many copies of their works as the market might bear.

The old ER-6n was already an excellent bike – which is why it sold so well in the UK and even more so in Europe. So Kawasaki didn't have to do much. Yet they have succeeded in enhancing every aspect of its appeal. The looks are better and the ER-6n is now even easier to ride and more manageable which ...
The outgoing ER-6f was already a very popular bike and thankfully Kawasaki haven't felt the need to radically alter it, rather improve its slight failings and make a good bike even better. The new chassis and looks are improved and the fairing adds an element of practicality that its naked brother, the ER-6n, is lacking. The seat height is low, ...
249cc, 53bhp, 139mph, Insurance group 10
Kawasaki's KR-1S was the quickest mass-produced, 250 two-stroke ever (139mph being recorded in a 1990 speed test), being quicker than both Suzuki's RGV and even Aprilia's later (but RGV-powered) RS250. On the downside it came with slightly questionable reliability and handling that could tank slap you into casualty. Dangerous, but hugely addictive.
649cc, 71bhp, mph, Insurance group
The original Kawasaki ER-6f was universally acclaimed by MCN's road testers and the revised ER sees the love affair continue. It's a rare package of fun, practicality and affordability, which is great for novices and experienced riders alike. Its sporty, Ninja looks prove budget doesn't have to mean bland, while revisions to the 649cc parallel twin engine have eradicated most of ...
649cc, 72bhp, 130mph, Insurance group 10
The first Kawasaki ER-6n already offered fantastic value for money – fun, practicality and decent looks for £4500. It didn't need a revamp, but for this year it now has a classier more grown up image. The chassis has been tweaked to isolate vibration, and suspension quality was also improved in response to owner comments.
998cc, 181bhp, 182mph, Insurance group 17
Slightly more user friendly than the psycho C-model Kawasaki ZX-10R of 2004/05 but the latest Kawasaki ZX-10R is still a pretty extreme, track focused missile. Competitive in the 1000cc sports category, so obscenely fast and fine handling. Kawasaki ZX-10R headlights not to everyone's taste visually but it's a look that gets cars out of the way sharpish.
649cc, 60bhp, 128mph, Insurance group 9
As the marketing driven name suggests the Kawasaki Versys is incredibly versatile, the jack of all trades. The Kawasaki Versys does everything well, but isn't outstanding at any one thing. That said, the Kawasaki Versys is incredibly easy to ride, fun at low speeds and in some ways looks funky for 2007. At under £5000 for the basic model, the ...
124cc, 12bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 5
The Kawasaki EL125 Eliminator's a top little bike to hone your skills on with a responsive, smooth motor and easy handling. The Kawasaki EL125 Eliminator is never going to win any races but that's not what it's about: it'll haul you from A to B with little fuss, enabling you to enjoy the ride.
498cc, 59bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 8
Long in the tooth but surprisingly fast and easy to live with, the Kawasaki GPZ500S's a true and reliable all-rounder. The Kawasaki GPZ500S is a prime candidate for a "first big bike" and one with the performance and handling to tempt you to hold on to it after rivals have lost their (underpowered) appeal.
398cc, 62bhp, 139mph, Insurance group 12
'Extreme' is a word that's bandied everywhere these days. But when it comes to motorcycling, they don't come much more so than Kawasaki's ZXR400. Small (so popular with the ladeez), light, stumpy, extremely revvy and a fabulous handler, the little ZXR is refined essence of four-cylinder sportster with all the good and bad that implies. It's not big, it's not ...

American Opportunity Tax Credit
If you are paying undergraduate college expenses, whether for yourself or your dependent, you may be entitled to claim tax credit from the IRS. The American Opportunity Tax Credit 2011 is a form of refundable tax credit that offers substantial financial relief for college students and parents of college students. Those who qualify for this tax credit can claim as much as $2,500 on the first $4,000 they spend on eligible undergraduate educational expenses. For now, the American Opportunity Tax Credit is expected to be available until 2012 only, but there is hope that the Congress may extend it for an additional period of time.
The American Opportunity Tax Credit is implemented under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and it enables a larger number of undergraduate students and parents to avail of an education tax credit. It is a modification of the existing Hope Credit, and it is accessible to a wider range of taxpayers, including those who earn higher incomes and owe no tax. In many ways, the American Opportunity Tax Credit offers more benefits than both the Hope Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit, and it is the preferred tax credit for many students and parents.
The American Opportunity Tax Credit is only offered to taxpayers and dependents of taxpayers who are enrolled in a university, college, or other accredited post-secondary institution on at least half-time basis. It is only available in full to students or parents who are earning an adjusted gross income of $80,000 or less. Those who are married and filing jointly must have an income of $160,000 or less to qualify for the credit. The tax credit will phase out for taxpayers who are earning between $80,000 and $90,000, or $160,000 and $180,000 for joint filers. Students or parents who earn more than the upper limit of the phase out range will not be eligible for the credit. The American Tax Credit is only available for the initial four years of undergraduate studies.
If you are eligible for the full amount of the American Opportunity Tax Credit, you can claim 100% of the initial $2,000 you spend on eligible educational expenses. After that, you can claim another 25% of the subsequent $2,000 in eligible educational expenses. The total amount of tax credit that you can get is, therefore, $2,500. A maximum of 40% of the American Opportunity Tax Credit is refundable. This means that you can get a refund of up to $1,000, even if you do not have any tax liability. Since it is refundable, the tax credit is potentially more rewarding than the non-refundable Lifetime Learning Credit.
If you are planning to claim American Opportunity Tax Credit, it is essential that you know what kinds of educational expenses are considered eligible. Qualifying expenses for this tax credit include tuition fees and related course materials. Compared to the Lifetime Learning Credit, which only allows qualifying taxpayers to claim tuition fees deduction, The American Opportunity Tax Credit is much more flexible. It covers course materials such as books, software, lab supplies, and other class materials.
If you would like to use tax preparation software to calculate your education tax credits then you should try TurboTax Online.
Don't Lose Your Credits
Many taxpayers miss out on deductions and credits they could have claimed. Don't fall into that category. Get started today! You can always try for free! You don't have to pay unless you print or e-file. Why don't you give it a try and see what they can do for you?

system boot time. In Ubuntu add to
System >
Preferences >
Startup applications
Also see Alerts
N.B. In some newer versions of Ubuntu, within the Default Unity desktop for instance, there is no system tray to launch Davmail. It may be necessary for you to manually edit your Davmail properties file to configure the correct URL and Exchange protocol settings. The settings probably looks something like this:
Alternatively, you can configure the Unity desktop to display the notification area.
2.3. Installing Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning
sudo apt-get install thunderbird xul-ext-lightning
This will create a link in Applications --> Internet --> Mozilla Thunderbird Mail/News
2.4. Configuring Thunderbird for Nexus email
You can do this by following the Thunderbird set up instructions.
2.5. Configuring Thunderbird with the calendar
- Open up Thunderbird, and click on
Calendar. You'll see the Home calendar which it automatically creates.
- Right click on the
Home calendarthen click on
[New calendar]. A new window will now appear.

On the Networkthen click
- Select Caldev.
- Location:
- Replace email@example.com with your primary email
address. So for example,
- Then press
Next. It will ask you for a name, we recommend using your own name for this (to make it easier if you have multiple calendars showing). Once done, select
- It will then prompt you for you user name and password (If it doesn't double check that Davmail is currently running). Enter your single sign-on credentials and the calendar should sync.
You cannot share calendars through this; however, if you have already set up shared calendars using Outlook, then you can view other people's calendars by setting up a new one, and inserting their primary email address instead (but see below Alerts).
Lightning also allows the import of .ics calendar data so it's also an option for importing data from an existing calendar to Nexus.

When typing emails now, it will automatically try and do a lookup on a name in the address field. (It may ask you for your password the first time; you can choose to let it remember the password.)
