June 15, 2013, 6 p.m.
Port Clinton police chief Robert Hickman responded to an article in Saturday's Register by posting at the police department's Facebook page, declaring he would determine what information would be released for a police blotter and he would continue posting that information at the Facebook page.
"I will NOT debate this issue with (the Register) as we've spoken to them a couple times this past week regarding the release of our/your records," Hickman wrote. "They along with other media outlets will be provided a copy of the 'blotter' as I print here on Facebook and if the Sandusky Register or others want further specific information; all they have to do is request it (plain and simple)."
The police department has denied several public records requests already, however, the latest on Friday when police department records clerk Mark Anderson said the newspaper's request to review specific incident reports was "overly broad or burdensome." The request was not broad and would have required Anderson to simply press the "print" button on a computer keyboard to print the documents.
Other police departments across the region comply with the very same request every day.
State law specifically details how public records are to be released and does not allow for police departments to withhold records arbitrarily or use social media as a substitute for complying with public records requests. The Register renewed its requests for documents on Saturday.
Despite the seemingly apparent noncompliance with state law, some fans of the police department's Facebook page supported Hickman's decision to pick and choose which documents the public can see.
"We, the public, are informed and you inform us how you see fit," Courtney Dorreman posted in a statement directed to Hickman. "Keep doing what you think is best and forget their drama."
Another poster at the city's social media page expressed similar animosity toward the Register for requesting the documents.
"The Register is TRASH! And they hate Police! Anyone can see that!" Mary Tuttamore Meade posted. "Chief Hickman, you keep doing the awesome job you have been doing for your community!"
Another poster suggested documents and information should be withheld from the public despite state law requiring disclosure.
"The register/community does not need to know every detail in every call," Nicole Goldstein wrote. "I believe the list of calls dispatched is enough for the public. If they want more then they can get off their butts and do the hard work of getting the info."
Original post, June 15, 2013, 5 a.m.:
That's more or less the word from police Chief Rob Hickman and records clerk Mark Anderson, who said their records software makes it much too difficult to print crime reports on a weekly basis.
The Register routinely requests incident reports from area police departments and sheriff's offices, using information from the reports to write stories and police blotter. Almost without fail, area law enforcement departments provide — either daily or weekly — a stack of incident reports typed up by officers and deputies.
Sandusky police, for example, employ one records clerk who on a daily basis prints dozens upon dozens of incident reports that are made available that same day.
Port Clinton, however, has resorted to providing the public with a list of calls dispatched, but no reports associated with those calls. Many of the items say, "Breaking and entering," or "citation issued," but it provides no further information, such as who was arrested or any other particulars.
In short, the list of calls of dispatched is useless in providing any information of value to the public.
Port Clinton police said the Register can circle any items that look interesting, then request reports for those. With vague information on the call log — in some cases, zero information — it is near impossible to determine what merits an "interesting" report.
Hickman, Anderson and Port Clinton police Detective Corbin Carpenter said the Register is making Port Clinton police do the newspaper's work by requesting all incident reports, rather than, as the police department suggests, choosing items that look interesting.
The Register has asked the department to provide full reports for anything listed on the call log. Anderson, the records clerk, said Friday this request is "overly broad or ambiguous."
This is the first time a local police department has ever used this reasoning to deny a weekly batch of incident reports based on this exemption. The Register's request is not overly broad or ambiguous.
Sometimes, Port Clinton police would be forced to print anywhere from six reports to 20 reports a day. Anderson said he's much too busy to print so many reports.
State law is clear about police incident reports. A police department's defunct software system — incapable of easily printing reports — is not one of the listed exemptions.
As a result of Port Clinton's stance, the Register cannot run Port Clinton police blotter in today's paper. Other blotters from area police agencies will appear in the newspaper today and throughout the weekend as usual.

I have a Russian Imperial Stout that I want to age for a full year. I currently have it in kegs, uncarbonated. I like to bottle from kegs that have been force carbonated due to the lack of sediment in the final product. Can I force-carbonate it now, then bottle, and still expect it to get better with age? What if I'm force carbonating in the refrigerator?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Homebrewing Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for dedicated home brewers and serious enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Yes, you can do what you propose. A better solution, though, would be to add a bit of yeast to the keg and then bottle, rather than force carbonating. The tiny bit of bottle fermentation will help scavenge the oxygen from the bottle and promote better aging.
I am getting ready to do the same thing with a very similar beer (for the first time)
I plan to bottle condition, I sit the carboy up were I will rack it from a day or two before so the sediment has time to settle out
If I were to force carb then bottle I would purge fill then purge that little head space at the top. co2 is heavier then atmosphere so you could even hold the beer gun over (instead of in) the bottle.

Name: SAR Analysis for the identification of selective inhibitors of the two-pore domain potassium channel KCNK9 in hERG expressing cells: FluxOR Assay CRC 2
The purpose of this assay is to assess the specificity of compounds identified as inhibitors of KCNK9. This specificity screen is to eliminate any compounds that interact with the voltage-gated potassium channel, hERG. Compound inhibition of hERG was tested in at least duplicate using a thallium sensitive dye.
1. Cell culture: Cells are routinely cultured in DMEM/F12 medium, supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), 50 IU/ml penicillin, 50ug/ml streptomycin,and 500ug/ml G418.
2. Cell plating: Add 50 ul/well of 120,000 cells/ml re-suspended in DMEM/F12 medium with 10% FBS
3. Incubate overnight at 37C and 5% CO2
4. Remove medium and add 25 ul/well of 1x FluxOR solution to cells
5. Incubate 90 minutes at room temperature (RT) in the dark
6. Prepare 7.5X compound plates and control plates on Cybi-Well system: test compounds are prepared using assay buffer containing IC70 of dofetilide; controls are assay buffer, IC70, and ICmax of dofetilide (all with DMSO concentrations matched to that of test compounds)
7. Remove FluxOR dye solution and add 20 ul/well of assay buffer to cells
8. Add 4 ul of 7.5x compound stock into the cell plates via Cybi-Well system
9. Incubate all cell plates for 20 minutes at RT in the dark
10. Prepare 5x stimulus buffer containing 25 mM K2SO4 and 7 mM Tl2SO4
11. Load cell plates to Hamamatsu FDSS 6000 kinetic imaging plate reader
12. Measure fluorescence for 10 seconds at 1Hz to establish baseline
13. Add 6 ul/well of stimulus buffer onto cells and continue measuring fluorescence for 110 seconds
14. Calculate ratio readout as F(max-min)/F0
15. Calculate the average and standard deviation for negative and positive controls in each plate, as well as Z and Z' factors
16. IC50 and Hill Constant calculation from replicates was generated using Microcol Origin 6.0
17. Outcome assignment: If the test compound causes a maximum inhibition of hERG greater than 30% in any concentration tested and a dose response curve is generated, the compound is considered to be active (outcome=2). If the test compound does not cause inhibition of hERG at any concentration tested or a dose response is not generated, the compound is designated as inactive (outcome=1).
16. Score assignment: Compounds with an IC50 less than 1uM are given a score of 100, 1uM-5uM a score of 75, 5uM-10uM a score of 50, 10uM-20uM a score of 25 and any compound with an IC50 greater than 20uM or those that are designated inactive in the outcome are given a score of 0.

Report: DuPont plans sale of cyanide business
2:50 PM MDT | October 17, 2013 | Lindsay Frost
DuPont plans to sell its cyanide business and has hired investment bank Morgan Stanley to run the sales process, according to recent Reuters report. Cyanide is commonly used in gold mining and could be worth $700.0 million, although Ebitda is said to be around $100.0 million, the report says. DuPont has been moving away from commodity chemicals with increased focus on agriculture, nutrition, and industrial biosciences. The company sold its automotive coatings unit to The Carlyle Group in August 2012 for $4.90 billion. Cyanide is produced at the company's...

I have a stout I'm going to be bottling soon and unlike past recipes I've brewed which have called for corn sugar for priming, this calls for dry malt extract and lactose. Typically I've dissolved my corn sugar in a small amount of sterilized (boiled) water to easily introduce it and I'm wondering if there's anything special I should do in this case?

Homebrewing Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for dedicated home brewers and serious enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
If you follow the same procedures for the malt extract and lactose that you do for the priming sugar you will be good. The boiled water acts as a pasteurizer for the sugar and malt extract to eliminate any bacteria.
I would advise against using extract for priming. There is no advantage to doing so. In fact, it's more hassle. You have no idea of the fermentability of the DME, so you have no idea what level of carbonation you'll achieve. Sugar is fast, reliable, and tasteless.

Gallery: Rice University's New LEED Gold Dorms Feature Prefab Bathroom ...
The new dormitories expanded the undergraduate accommodations by 30% back in 2009. The dorms are built around a shared commons and linked by a shaded arcade. Each building has its own dining facility – McMurtry's is circular with a roof lantern, and Duncan's is rectangular with tree-shaped structural columns. Rice University is made up mostly of finely detailed brick buildings, and the two new dorms were no exception. The layout, facades and materials all echo the character of the existing campus in an attempt to extend this continuity. But just because the building's look the same doesn't mean they are built the same – both McMurtry College and Duncan College were designed with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind. Each dorm achieved LEED Gold, beating the campus-wide mandate of LEED Silver-certified buildings.
Both buildings feature a green roof to support plant life and provide natural habitat for birds and insects. Innovative building systems, like HVAC infrared room sensors, help reduce energy use wherever possible. Each of the 400 rooms is equipped with a energy-efficient prefabricated bathroom pod designed for two roommates. Pods feature an outer cladding, a cast Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) 6' x 8' interior with all white walls, wall-hung plumbing fixtures, and light fixtures. When the building was partially completed, the pods were inserted into their spots and plugged into the plumbing and electrical connections. Because they were built off-site, the quality of construction was held to a high standard, and this allowed the school to have more energy and water-efficient units.

Vaginal Infections
In this article
What Is Bacterial Vaginosis?
Although "yeast" is the name most women think of when they think of vaginal infections, bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common type of vaginal infection in women of reproductive age. BV is caused by a combination of several bacteria. These bacteria seem to overgrow in much the same way as do Candida when the vaginal balance is upset. The exact reason for this overgrowth is not known.
Is Bacterial Vaginosis Spread Through Sex?
Bacterial vaginosis is not transmitted through sexual intercourse but is more common in women who are sexually active. It is also not a serious health concern but can increase a woman's risk of developing other sexually transmitted diseases and can increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) following surgical procedures such as abortion and hysterectomy. Some studies have shown an increased risk of early labor and premature births in women who have the infection during pregnancy. However, more recent investigations do not support this relationship.
What Are the Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis?
Up to 50% of the women who have bacterial vaginosis do not have any symptoms. Most women learn they have the infection during their annual gynecologic exam. But if symptoms appear, they can include:
- White or discolored discharge.
- Discharge that smells "fishy" that is often strongest after sex.
- Pain during urination.
- Itchy and sore vagina.
How Is Bacterial Vaginosis Diagnosed?
Your doctor can tell you if you have bacterial vaginosis. He or she will examine you and will take a sample of fluid from your vagina. The fluid is viewed under a microscope. In most cases, your doctor can tell right away if you have BV.
What Is the Treatment for Bacterial Vaginosis?
Bacterial vaginosis can only be treated with drugs ordered by your doctor. Over-the-counter remedies will not cure BV. The most common drugs prescribed for BV are called metronidazole (Flagyl) and clindamycin (Cleocin). These medications may be taken as a pill or used as a vaginal cream or gel.
Should I Be Treated for Bacterial Vaginosis if I Am Pregnant?
Maybe. But some medications for bacterial vaginosis should not be taken during the first three months of pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant. Also let your doctor know if you think that you might be pregnant. You and your doctor should discuss whether or not the infection should be treated.

With 92 Workers Laid Off in South Dakota, Nearly 2,300 American Jobs Lost Thanks to Wind Industry Tax Credit Delays
WASHINGTON, DC – This week, Molded Fiber Glass, a wind turbine manufacturer in Aberdeen, South Dakota laid off 92 of their 370 employees due to uncertainty around the renewal of the Production Tax Credit (PTC) for wind energy. These latest layoffs bring the total number of jobs lost in the wind industry due to layoffs, furloughs and canceled projects since the beginning of 2012 to 2,299.According to data compiled by the Sierra Club, 15 companies across 14 states have already threatened layoffs, announced layoffs, or canceled projects due to uncertainty around the wind industry tax credit. "It is disgraceful that Republican leadership in Congress is playing politics with Americans' jobs," said Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club. "Wind energy is replacing dirty fossil fuels across the country, but that clearly doesn't sit well with the Big Polluters that are bankrolling these Republicans. Instead of standing up for American workers, Republican leadership is bowing to these special interests and turning a blind eye to the thousands of jobs that are on the line." If the PTC is allowed to expire at the end of this year, layoffs in the wind industry willonly accelerate. Current projections from the American Wind Energy Association show thatapproximately 37,000 jobs are expected to be lost if the PTC is not renewed. Companies like Molded Fiber Glass are counting on the PTC's renewal in order to bring employees backto work."While South Dakota's congressional delegation, including Rep. Kristie Noem and Senator John Thune, have spoken out in favor of the tax credit, it's clear they have not done enough," said Brune. "Actions speak louder than words, and so far Congress has failed to act."Today, more than 75,000 jobs are supported by the wind industry across all fifty states. The price of wind power has been steadily decreasing, and when the environmental and health costs of burning dirty fossil fuels are taken into account, wind is already cheaper than energy sources like coal. Meanwhile, wind generation continues to grow across the country -- Iowa and South Dakota currently generate 20 percent of their electricity from wind power, and with the right policies in place, the wind industry is on track to produce 20 percent of America's electricity by 2030. Last month the wind industry hit a historic milestone when it reached 50 gigawatts of capacity online, the equivalent of powering nearly 13 million American homes.

By: Bob Tarzey, Service Director, Quocirca
Published: 1st February 2013

The managers of any successful business must keep a constant focus on productivity. Well implemented IT helps to achieve this, for example through automating manufacturing processes, improving supply chain efficiency or enabling flexible working. The same managers may assume that the IT departments that help deliver these innovations are themselves productive. In many cases they will be wrong.
A recent Quocirca research report - The wastage of human capital in IT operations - shows that many IT teams could improve their productivity dramatically. As much as 40% of a team's time can be spent on routine low level tasks, for example patching software, dealing with end user device problems or error checking.
IT managers themselves are well aware of the issues and those in mid-market organisations, in particular, list such wastage of their team's time as a top frustration. They have a clear understanding of their staff's skills, but are not able to use them as effectively as they would like. For the individuals involved, work becomes boring and there is general demotivation.
Whilst the wastage should in itself be major concern, an even bigger concern is that this very issue is holding IT departments back from their raison d'être – helping businesses overall increase their productivity and competitiveness. IT managers admit that if they had 50% more man hours available to them, they would use these to modernise IT infrastructure and deliver new applications.
So what can be done? The truth is that the mundane tasks are not going to go away. IT managers have three options; stick with the status quo and accept the wastage; introduce cheaper, low skilled labour, probably through outsourcing areas of IT operations management; or introduce more automation.
It is estimated that 80% of IT infrastructure is common to most businesses IT operations. So, mundane tasks are being repeated by skilled operators on a huge scale. Outsourcing just displaces the problem when, in reality, automating these tasks and repeating them across multiple businesses should be straight forward.
The vendors of automation tools are themselves experts at building the procedures that enable repetitive tasks to be carried out time and time again across different organisations IT infrastructure. Such tools can recognise exceptions and make an intelligent hand over to human operators, be they an internal staff member or an expert from a third party specialist.
Once the investment in the tools has been made, the incremental charge for repeating is negligible compared to outsourcing. Such tools enable the industrialisation of IT – the efficient repetition of certain tasks hundreds or thousands of times over without consuming valuable IT staff time.
There are three options for achieving this:
The ineffectiveness of many IT operations will spiral out of control if action is not taken to improve the way they are managed. Putting in place the necessary IT management tools, services and procedures to maximise automation and to industrialise processes will address this and reduce skills wastage. The ultimate value will be the ability to efficiently manage the increasing complexity of IT infrastructure, whilst delivering new applications that will ensure a business remains competitive.

An Introduction
Klinefelter's Syndrome (KS) is caused by a common congenital condition which is found in around 1 in 650 live male births and is the result of the presence of one or more additional sex chromosomes. Chromosomes are genetic material and a person's sex is determined by X and Y chromosomes. Generally males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY) and females have two X chromosomes (XX). Klinefelter's Syndrome is characterised by the presence of an additional chromosome (XXY).
KS is diagnosed by a blood test which identifies the karyotype i.e. the number, size and shape of the chromosomes.
The Klinefelter's Syndrome Association
We offer support and information to all affected by, or having an interest in, Klinefelter's Syndrome. Through our website and helpline we have information available which can assist employers, teachers, social workers and the medical professions, amongst others, who come into contact with people diagnosed with Klinefelter's Syndrome (KS).
Early diagnosis and a good understanding of the effects of the condition can greatly alleviate future problems. Therefore the Association seeks to raise the profile of the condition with the medical profession, other public and private bodies and the general public so that all understand its implications, not only for the individual affected, but also for all those with whom they have contact during their lives.
The KSA holds an annual Conference and AGM in June and an Activity Weekend is run each spring and autumn. A Members' newsletter is published at least 3 times each year. The KSA hosts a chat forum XXYTalk.com and there is a local rate (UK only) HelpLine.
The charity is run entirely by voluntary workers who make up a National Executive Committee (NEC) and is funded mainly through membership fees and donations.
Symptoms of KS
KS is characterised by a collection of symptoms the presence or absence of which can vary widely. The most common symptoms include:
In children:
- Speech and language development disorders
- Short attention span, easily distracted
- Lack of agility and dislike of physical games, especially team games
- Passive, shy
- Difficulty with self expression
- Tall stature with disproportionally long legs and arms (euneuchoidism)
- Moderate learning difficulties
In adults:
- Infertility
- Low sex drive/libido
- Small testes
- Poor upper body strength
- Low self-esteem
- Absence of, or sparse body/facial hair
- Gynaecomastia (breast development)
- Difficulty remembering recent conversations
- Poor communication and social skills
- Unexplained tiredness or lethargy
For more information about symptoms Consult Sid under the Health Issues tab.
Early diagnosis and a good understanding of the implications of the condition can greatly alleviate future problems for both the person with the condition and those with whom they have close contact. As a result the Klinefelter's Syndrome Association is working to raise the profile of the condition generally but within the medical profession in particular.
The five most likely triggers for diagnosis are:
- During pregnancy if screening was carried out for Down's Syndrome etc. the extra chromosome would be discovered.
- Pre-school if the child has a language delay or disorder.
- During schooling if the youngster is having difficulties either socially or academically.
- During adolescence if there is some breast development or if puberty is delayed significantly.
- In adulthood as a result of fertility investigations.
However, late diagnosis is commonplace. A recent research project sponsored by the KSA highlighted this fact:
- 16% were diagnosed when they were under 10 years old
- 11% between the ages of 11 and 17 years of age
- 29% when they were a young adult between the ages of 18 - 28 years
- 39% when they were between 29 and 55 years of age
It is not known why diagnosis is often not made until later in life, nor for that matter, why diagnosis rates are so poor, currently about 25% are diagnosed. Some health care professionals suggest that it is because it is difficult to identify. Others suggest that the majority of those with the condition do not experience problems of sufficient severity to warrant seeking help or advice.
Admittedly the symptoms displayed vary from person to person but the KSA, from years of experience of dealing with the 'victims' of late diagnosis, questions these assumptions. When some of the symptoms are considered - shyness verging on severe introversion, difficulty with communication, poor social skills and self-expression - is it any wonder that many are unable to seek help and advice?
This is further compounded by the fact that some symptoms are of an intimate nature which can make discussion with others, even doctors, extremely daunting as well as causing possible psychological trauma and withdrawal from society. Then, when someone does manage to build up enough courage to broach the matter with their GP often he has so little knowledge of KS that either no diagnosis is made or the doctor may recognise KS but not offer the correct support and treatment.
The KSA are committed to improving the rate and the age of diagnosis by raising awareness of the condition, its symptom and effects. For more information about diagnosis Consult Sid under the Health Issues tab.
The Prognosis
Much of the early literature about KS mentions the high proportion of KS males in the prison population and low IQ. These old medical books often paint a rather bleak picture. However it is now accepted that, although many with the condition do have some learning difficulties, with appropriate support these often can be overcome. The KSA has created a poster 'What could I be?' (to the left) to help raise awareness of the skills and achievements of a cross-section of our members. In the 'Members' Only' section of the website there are some full profiles which we hope will change the perception of the abilities of those with XXY.
While XXY (non-mosaic) men have always been considered to be infertile, it is now known that young adults may have some viable sperm which could be extracted. Although the success rate is not very high at present, techniques are improving very quickly.
The Scientific Background in Brief
In 1942 Dr Harry Klinefelter, a Baltimore endocrinologist and his co-workers who were working at the Massachusetts General Hospital, published a study about nine men who had enlarged breasts, sparse facial & body hair & small, firm, infertile testes.
By the late 1950s other researchers discovered that subjects with Klinefelter's Syndrome had an extra sex chromosome giving them a karyotype of 47XXY.
While women usually inherit two X chromosomes - one from each parent, men inherit an X from their mothers and a Y from their fathers. However occasionally an egg with two Xs (XX) or a sperm with both an X and a Y (XY) can occur resulting in two chances of producing an XXY male. Either an XY sperm fertilises an X egg or a Y sperm fertilises an XX egg.
There are other less common variations; for example 48XXXY or 49XXXXY. There is also a mosaic type where some of the body cells do not have the extra chromosome. All are known as Klinefelter's Syndrome.
Although all information on this site is correct to the best of our knowledge,the KSA (UK) recommends that you verify all facts before acting upon them. Medical treatment and advice should always be confirmed by your GP (family doctor) or consultant.

1 tablespoon

I made these for a party recently and wished i had doubled it! It went very well and definitly will remake for the upcoming Holidays! Good recipe!
I liked this idea, but as written the thyme (in poultry seasoning) is too strong and the orange rind in the marmalade is too bitter. I won't make this again as is.
46 Ratings
These were great. I added the spicy red pepper jelly in place of the chopped peppers. They were great hit and were all gone in short order. I will make them again and the glaze could be used on many other appies!
They are absolutely delicious....even as a main course with salad....do try them
I made these meatballs for the new year party. Everyone was raving about them! Really great for a party and easy to make! I did not change anything, the sauce is really tasty. My family requested to make them again soon and serve them with basmati
Prepared exactly as per directions except a) I used egg beaters and b) I just minced one 3 inch long Jalapeno pepper (no measuring)- browned them in a fry pan like it says- put them on a paper towel to cool & degrease a little (there was very little) then placed them on wax paper and stuck them in a baggie and then into the freezer for a couple of days. The night before Xmas dinner- took them out of the freezer & into the fridge then the next morning I warmed the meatballs in about a cup of simmering chicken stock in a covered fry pan for about 20 minutes, added the rest of the glaze ingredients (plus another splash of stock) and heated thru and then put everything in a crock pot set on high for a little more than an hour when I tested a meatball & since it was cooked thru I put them out to be served. They were a big hit & got several compliments and a couple of recipe requests (especially when people found out that they were low-fat). If you're going to finish them in a crock pot add a little extra broth or stock (or I would think orange juice would work too) and keep an eye on them because the glaze WILL thicken
This was really yummy although I changed out the orange marmalade for home made apricot jam and it was better that way.
I made this on Super Bowl day. My husband loved it but I am not sure the rest of them did or not....I personally like the beef meatballs better....
It seemed to be something was missing....

HEAD racquet rebel Maria Sharapova has ended her 2012 season on World No. 2 in the WTA rankings. At the WTA Championships in Istanbul, the 25 year old Russian finished as runner-up, after a high class match against Serena Williams. The American, withstood a challenge from Sharapova lasting nearly 90 minutes before Williams took a 6-4, 6-3 victory.
"I've got to keep moving forward. I'm proud of my year. I'm proud of my consistency," said French Open champion Sharapova who recommends the HEAD YouTek IG Instinct. "I'm moving in the right direction in terms of improving my game. I've accomplished a lot of things this year I really wanted. I have a lot of great memories, some difficult ones, but a lot of really positive thoughts moving into next year."
Sharapova said that playing in Turkey proved to be a highlight. "The excitement from the people from the second they call your name onto the court and you're walking out is it's pretty incredible. The appreciation you have from the tennis fans is really unique."
In doubles, HEAD racquet rebel Roberta Vinci of Italy and partner Sara Errani reached the semifinals where they finally lost against eventual winners Kirilenko/Petrova 6-1, 3-6, 10-4. Vinci and Errani claimed 8 doubles titles this season including the French and US Open and will finish the season as World No. 1.

Ana conquered world No.19 Samantha Stosur from Australia in her second match at the GARANTi KOZA Tournament of Champions in Sofia. With the 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 victory in just under two hours of play, the 25-year-old took sweet revenge for her defeat against the Australian in Moscow two weeks ago.
The contest was intense from the very first point. Ana faced three break opportunities in the opening game, but got rid of all of them to score an immediate moral advantage over her opponent.
Indeed, after holding to love in the third game, Ana broke the Australian to 15 and she was brimming with confidence as she took a 5-2 lead. Stosur tried to aim her crafty kick serves towards Ana's backhand, but the 25-year-old anticipated extremely well and she stepped into the court, returning the ball very early to prevent it from bouncing too high. Ana added a second break of serve and fired a classy unreturnable backhand down-the-line to seal the first set.
Despite a 0-30 deficit in the opening game, Ana also started with great flair in the second act. She served herself out of trouble and always appeared to be in firm control from the baseline. The former world No.1 confidently steered the rallies and hammered blistering winner after winner, although she was unable to force a breakthrough as all games went with the server until game seven.
Ana went 30-40 down in that game and was broken out of the blue. She managed to undo the break in game ten to level at 5-all, but a second loss of serve in the following game was fatal for the 25-year-old.
After letting the second set slip, Ana immediately restored her dominance over the Australian and she carved a 2-0 lead onto the scoreboard. Although breaks were traded in the following two games, it was clear that Ana was the player who was in the driver's seat. She produced two solid service games and surged into a 5-2 lead, before she took advantage of her first match point on the Stosur serve to book an extremely satisfying victory.
Ana will face world No.25 Elena Vesnina from Russia in her final match of the round-robin stage on Friday.
"I really started the match well," said Ana.
"I didn't do a lot wrong. In the second set she started to play better, and I was really happy I was able to stay calm in the third set, serve well, and close out the match."

IMLS Hosts Library Stakeholder Meeting May 15 at San Francisco Public Library
Experts to discuss how library spaces are changing to adapt to new learning models
Washington, DC—The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) will hold the second in a series of three stakeholder convenings about trends in library service on Thursday May 15, from 8:30 a.m.-- 4:00 p.m. PST at the San Francisco Public Library. The focus of the meeting is reimagining learning spaces in libraries.
IMLS invites broad participation via a live webcast, accessible here, and library professionals and the public are encouraged to participate through social media using the Twitter hashtag #imlsfocus. Seating at the event is limited.
Supporting learning experiences in libraries and highlighting the role of libraries as community resources for lifelong learning is a key strategic priority of IMLS.

The San Francisco meeting will focus on current trends, challenges and opportunities to consider for framing future investments in this area. The discussion will cover the following:

Contemporary Christian mainstay Michael W. Smith is set to release his latest album, 12-track set Wonder, on September 28.
The new collection ponders a mix of emotions and topics, from love and commitment to the focus on faith for which he's long been known.
Wonder's leadoff single, "Save Me From Myself," hit radio in June. (Listen to the singer talk about "Save Me From Myself" via YouTube.) He teamed up with a crew of well-known writers on the album, including former Delirious? member Stu G, Tommy Sims, Matt Maher, Matthew West and others.
Smith has a long run of dates planned, including shows that make up the "Make a Difference Tour" alongside fellow Christian market heavy-hitters tobyMac and Third Day. (That jaunt isn't scheduled to come to Nashville, and his official site doesn't list any other upcoming Nashville dates, but Smith did perform at home in June at the all-star Nashville Rising flood benefit concert.

This story was corrected on July 8, 2013. An explanation follows.
A Damascus man beat a speed camera ticket in Montgomery County. Now, he wants everyone else to beat them, too.
Paul Layer was prepared July 1 to fight a ticket he received on Dec. 20, 2012, from a camera at 27300 Ridge Road in Damascus. But Montgomery County Circuit Judge John Debelius decided to drop the case because there was not enough evidence to support issuing the ticket.
The camera's location had not been sufficiently published on the county police department's website, which is required by a state statute. The statute requires the location of speed cameras to be published in a newspaper of general distribution and on the website.
"In the case of this speed camera, they never did that," said Layer, a former lawyer for the federal government.
The county has 56 fixed-pole cameras, 20 portable cameras and six mobile cameras in vans, Montgomery County Police Capt. Thomas Didone said. The number of portable cameras will soon increase to 30.
The police department's website has an interactive map of these locations.
Layer wants the county to issue refunds to people who paid tickets for the Damascus camera, since it was operating against the statutory framework. He encouraged people who drive on Ridge Road to contact their county representatives.
"This is a flaw," he said. "But they haven't missed a beat in issuing tickets and collecting fines. And they're continuing to defend it in the district court."
Layer said he will consider filing an injunction to keep his case active so he can prove tickets from this camera are invalid. He would like to see the camera taken down.
"The county is now on record for not being able to defend that camera," he said. "So why is it still operating? Why is it still issuing tickets?"
Assistant County Attorney David Stevenson said he recognized in court that the location of the Damascus camera was not published on the website, and asked the judge to dismiss the case. The camera location was published in The Montgomery County Sentinel on Aug. 23.
The advertisement said the camera was placed along Ridge Road, in between Sweepstakes and Davis Mill roads. Layer believes this does not constitute a location under the statute.
When Layer received his ticket, the Automated Traffic Enforcement Unit — which is responsible for the operation of the department's Red Light Camera Enforcement program and Safe Speed program — was moving its office from Research Boulevard in Rockville to Edison Park Drive in Gaithersburg. Throughout the move, the police department's website was not updated, Stevenson said.
"We're not sure that we never had this location published on the website, but we couldn't prove it because copies of changes were not being backed up," Stevenson said. "Therefore, it wouldn't be fair to prosecute him."
As of Feb. 1, 2013, the location of the camera was published on the police department's website, but it might not have been there before then, according to Stevenson.
"It's our intent to let people know where the speed cameras are," Didone said. "It's not a hidden process. The goal is to get people to slow down."
The citation was for driving 43 mph in a 30 mph zone.
Layer wasn't sure. "I have no idea whether I was speeding or not," he said.
If there are other citations from the Damascus camera from December 2012 or January 2013 that raise this issue in court, Stevenson said, it will be difficult to prosecute.
Tickets sent from this camera after January 2013 stand because speeding violations still have occurred and the notification of the camera's location is documented, Stevenson said.
Layer is not the only one who has beaten a Montgomery County speeding camera ticket.
Attorney Robin Ficker won a case on Jan. 14, when his ticket from a camera on Jones Mill Bridge Road in Bethesda was dropped. The law requires that speed cameras be placed in residential districts or school zones. But the camera on Jones Mill Bridge Road was improperly placed near the Columbia Country Club and the Bethesda National Medical Center, according to Ficker.
Two cameras on Jones Mill Bridge Road were moved around the corridor after the case was dismissed, but not because of the ruling, Didone said. These cameras are moved periodically to different sites along the corridor, so people comply with the speed limit for the entire area.
These cameras are in a residential district, with houses 300 feet from the road, Didone said.
"The law doesn't say the cameras have to be within 300 feet of the residences," he said. But Ficker disputes that interpretation.
Ficker received an overdue notice on his ticket after his court case, but it was also dropped.
"Why do you have to be a lawyer to know whether you have to pay a speed camera ticket?" he said.
Editor's note: The date of The Sentinel advertisement was incorrect. Paul Layer's employment was incorrect. Because Layer's case was dismissed, Montgomery County Police altered its assertion that Layer was driving 43 mph.

text: Once upon a time, the question was if Ioannis Bourousis is a power forward with the skill-set of a small forward in the body of a center, rather than the intimidating presence in the paint that his size suggests. But the 30-year-old has consistently led the national team since the 2008 Olympics and Milano during the last two seasons, in both rebounding and blocks to render the debate meaningless. Greece can count on him to do the same in Slovenia as well as score in double digits night in and night out, either by means of a perfectly executed hook-shot around the rim, or by drilling a jumper from behind the three-point arc. His style of play remains the same, his passion undiminished, but his confidence is now sky-high after Spanish champions Real Madrid rushed to secure his services early in the off-season.

Kelly's Clarkson's gone "dotty"! The 30-year-old singer was spotted on Tuesday in Pasadena, Calif., on the set of her new music video, "People Like Us." While she may have looked great in her scientist costume, she was sporting some interesting new facial accessories — dots!
Her rep couldn't be reached for comment about the former "American Idol" winner's mysterious new look, but Clarkson was still stylish in her ensemble. Donning a black high-waisted skirt, blue button-up blouse, and white lab coat, Clarkson was so excited about the shoot that she tweeted, "Having my diva moment on set with my glam squad :) We're shooting the video for "People Like Us" today and yep, it's gonna be rad!"
Speaking of rad, her fiancé, Brandon Blackstock, even joined her on set while she worked. Can we all let out a collective "Awww!"
Check out the vid to find out what other outfits Clarkson was "spotted" in.

Why wait? If you want to honor and encourage some of the best and brightest leaders in the industry today, and give their colleagues and peers something to aspire to tomorrow, why wait to recognize them when they're at the top of the heap?
That's the thinking behind PCMA's new 20 in Their Twenties program, whose first class of winners were honored at PCMA Convening Leaders 2014 in Boston this month. "Too often great leadership isn't recognized until the latter portion of careers," said PCMA President and CEO Deborah Sexton. "20 in Their Twenties allowed PCMA to engage and acknowledge a talented group of young professionals for their skills and provide incentive for them to lead our industry into the future."
Supported by the PCMA Education Foundation, the Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau, and the Austin Convention Center, 20 in Their Twenties invited young meeting professionals to submit an application — including a video — showing how they demonstrated their leadership in at least three of these areas: creative thinking and problem solving, challenging the status quo, leading a team or project to achieve a common goal, elevating an industry network into business relationships, serving as an effective communicator, serving as a positive role model for PCMA's Code of Ethics, and demonstrating leadership in organizations (inside or outside the industry). Applicants were judged by a diverse task force of PCMA members. Winner benefits included registration, airfare, and hotel for PCMA Convening Leaders 2014; free PCMA membership for 2014 and discounted membership until age 30; and mentoring opportunities with PCMA's and the PCMA Education Foundation's volunteer leaders.
"We are privileged to have the opportunity to strategically partner with PCMA, the PCMA Education Foundation, and their 20 in Their Twenties initiative," said Austin CVB President and CEO Bob Lander. "Developing new initiatives to involve and engage emerging leaders that promote innovation within the industry is critical to its proactive growth and continuing success. This is a focus in our city, and we all feel a sense of responsibility to attract, recruit, and retain talented, motivated, and productive young professionals to keep moving our industry forward."
Read what this year's honorees have to say about their accomplishments and ambitions, and you'll feel pretty good about the industry's forward motion.
Marcela Torres Marketing Intelligence Manager, Guadalajara Convention & Visitors Bureau Guadalajara, Mexico
What do you like most about your job?
The opportunity to represent my country around the world and share with people our meetings industry professionalism, the kindness of our people, the unique value of our traditions, our art, our flavors, and the full range of colors and contrasts that Mexico represents. The purpose of my job is to contribute to each family that depends on this industry and consequently acquire a better quality of life.
In addition, my job and our industry have allowed me to network with people from other cultures; through this I have reconfirmed the wonderful experiences our world offers.
Finally, I am thankful to have the opportunity to contribute and inspire my industry and society through the development of inclusive projects. I strongly believe that our meetings industry should aim to protect the natural and cultural capital of the world, and contribute to improve our community's quality of life, subsequently benefiting the destination where events are hosted.
What's the best day you've had in the meetings industry so far?
I have had several "best days." However, the latest wonderful experience I have had was my recent participation during the bidding process for the 67th International Astro nautical Congress. For this event, it was necessary to make a monumental strategic plan, from creating a strategic promotion plan, training speakers, develop a bidding book, and lobbying with government authorities and members of the International Astro nautical Federation, to encouraging a whole delegation to become proud ambassadors of Mexico, Latin America, and a whole industry. I had the opportunity to share the value that my country has to offer in front of an audience that included prime ministers, innovation and technology secretaries, scientists, and academics from over 62 countries. This experience encompassed soul, heart, strong teamwork, decisive character, great leadership, and inspiration from each team member.
Where would you like your career to go?
In the medium term, I want to be part of the Mexico Tourism Board team. In the long term, I want to represent my country as the secretary of tourism for Mexico, and eventually retire as a college teacher and support or establish a nonprofit association dedicated to advocating education, so I can share with future generations the experience that life has given me. Through my passion and commitment to the MICE segment, I hope to inspire them to give the best of themselves and to continue to strengthen our industry by promoting projects with values like social responsibility, sustain ability, and serving as a vanguard.
Yasha Bergmann Project Manager, uba GmbH Hamburg, Germany
As an event planner, I appreciate the variety of work I am doing. Every spring when our first events of the season kick off, I cannot wait to leave my desk and get out there and meet all the people I only knew from phone calls or emails so far.
One of my most memorable experiences was at one of our largest events this year, when I happened to be at the main entrance the minute we opened, and hundreds of people carrying an incredible energy with them streamed past me into our event site.
Our company is mainly active in the north of Germany; however, our bosses are looking into acquiring another company, which would benefit us greatly, and I would have the opportunity to enter the project teams of events with a much larger scale. PCMA has inspired me as a student and helped open the vast world of event planning for me. The expansion of our company will get me a little closer to one day play in the same league as the international heavyweights of the industry.
Shawn Cheng Team Lead, Experience Vancouver Vancouver, Canada
It is different every day. I'm facing different challenges, meeting different people, and learning different things every day. It is also really satisfying to be able to assist visitors/guests to have a great experience while they visit Vancouver or attend the event I organized.
I see myself still in the process of building my career, so it's a bit hard to find a "best day." I enjoy every day in the industry, but like Rick Antonson, our CEO from Tourism Vancouver, always says: "The best is yet to come." I do, however, have a proud moment so far, which was in 2012, when I received the Rising Star Award from MPI's British Columbia Chapter, nominated by industry peers.
I would love to know more about different sides of the CVB operation. I believe tourism business can create a big impact for a city, culturally and economically. On the other side, my short-term career interest is in Meeting Architecture. Knowing how to create/design a meeting/event that is meaningful rather than to just "arrange" it is the area I'm working on now.

Comments On Mar 03, 2015:Well, my dealer's mechanic said these valves don't really go out of spec like the old tappets do. And he was right, so I have a full box haven't used one yet, but I didn't want any down time so ordered the kit ahead of time. The RMATV video on adjusting KTM valves is really good and is what made me decide this was definitely within my wrenching comfort zone. One trick, if you can't get a reading off of your current shims because you are using calipers that are too hard to get a good reading, you can use one of the hot cams shims with a known spec into your calipers, then use your old shim and a feeler gauge and you can subtract and get the spec of the current shim. As one reviewer noted, you really need a micrometer to measure the shims.

Comments On Mar 01, 2015:Came with every shim needed to keep up with my ever changing valve clearance. Much better than having to go to the dealer and buy an individual shim just to realize that you messed up the simple math and need a different size.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jan 27, 2015:This kit is a must have for anyone doing any of their own mechanic work. These shims are around $3-$5 each at a shop so to me this kit is a no brainer. Plus it has its own convenient case.

En español | So you've gotten an invitation to a dinner party. Should you bring a hearty California cabernet, a decadent dessert or a fresh copy of your living will, complete with step-by-step instructions?
In an odd trend, boomers are hosting so-called death dinners to talk with friends and relatives about the issues no one wants to talk about — death, dying and end-of-life decisions. The objective is to head off family conflicts over medical care and to share concerns about quality-of-life issues.
Among the conversation starters: Would you want a feeding tube or ventilator to keep you alive if you slipped into a permanent coma? Is palliative care an option? When is it time to call it quits?
And can you pass the potatoes, please?
"Increasingly, we've heard of efforts just like this. Conversations are happening nationwide through a variety of channels," says Ashley Carson Cottingham, director of policy and advocacy for the nonprofit Compassion & Choices, a Washington, D.C.-based consumer advocacy group.
"Boomers who are a part of the caregiving for their parents are identifying situations that they don't want at their end of life," she says. "They constitute a powerful wave of change that will make their end-of-life situation different and better."
Carole Fisher, 55, of Las Vegas, hosted one such dinner party. She invited 17 relatives and friends, passed around adhesive mustaches, and initiated the discussion of dying as everyone munched on pizza with a furry upper lip. "It lightened the mood," says Fisher, who's no stranger to these issues. She's president and CEO of Nathan Adelson Hospice in Nevada. And even she found the table talk awkward at times.
"Our society doesn't like to talk about death," she says. "But someone has to take a risk and start the conversation."
Learn more about End of Life Care in AARP's Caregiving Resource Center
A growing number of online resources have popped up to get adults talking in a relaxed atmosphere centered on an inviting meal. One site, Death Over Dinner, offers directions on how to moderate these dinners and suggests conversational prompts to get the discussions flowing. They even provide language to use for dinner invitations.
The Death Cafe website helps people organize and set up gatherings at coffee shops throughout the United States. The website says the "social movement" is popular in other countries as well.
Perhaps more than any other generation, boomers have a particular aversion to growing older. The generation that fueled the sexual revolution has also transformed just about every stage of life, including reinventing retirement. Now, as boomers watch their parents, and in some cases their friends, pass away, they're turning their attention to redefining death.
"We want our dying experience to be personalized rather than rote," says Lynne Lancaster, coauthor of the book When Generations Collide. "Boomers want to feel like we're deciding these things. Before, doctors told us what to do and that's what we did. Now it's much more about discussion, options and choices."
