Rebel Legion In AZ To Relay For Life
Posted By
Our friend Joel from the Rebel Legion Mos Eisley Base sent us an e-mail to help spread the word of their 2011 Relay for Life team...
"Members of Rebel Legion Mos Eisley Base (MEB) in Arizona have formed a Relay for Life team with the American Cancer Society! Their goal is to raise $3,500.00 before their local relay in April 2011. Members of the MEB managed to raise over $2,500.00 in 2010.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length.
You can help the Mos Eisley Base by making a donation of any amount to their team at
Thanks for your support!"
Thanks to Joel for the e-mail and thanks to the Mos Eisley Base (and all the charitable costuming organizations out there) for continually doing
Star Wars
fans proud by doing some good in their respective communities.

FIVE BELOW UPS SECONDARY OFFERING: Five Below Inc. has increased the number of shares of its planned secondary offering to slightly over 11.3 million shares at a public offering price of $35.65 a share.
The selling shareholders include members of the retailer's existing management team and affiliates of certain board members. Five Below will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares.
This story first appeared in the January 31, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The company said Jan. 15, when it reported third-quarter results, that it may sell up to 8.1 million shares. The retailer at the time raised fourth-quarter forecasts, which included a comparable-store sales guidance of 4 percent, that caused shares of the stock to climb 8 percent.
Five Below sells merchandise in a wide-range of categories, including apparel and accessories, to teens and preteens all for $5 and below. The company went public on July 19, pricing its shares at $17 each and opening at $26.10 in its first day of trading. It was the second teen-focused retailer to go public last year, following surf-and-skate chain Tilly's Inc. in May.
When it went public, Five Below operated 199 stores across 17 states. It plans to open 15 new stores in Austin, Tex., and Dallas this year as part of its bigger initiative to open 60 stores in 2013. That would bring its store count to 300 sites across 19 states by yearend.

Yankees' all-time Top 5 in-season trades
Ruffing, Cone, Chambliss made major impacts when they wore pinstripes
Will the Yankees swing a deal before the July 31 Trade Deadline? Sometimes it takes years to determine how well a team did in a trade. With the benefit of hindsight, the following are the five most notable trades in franchise history that were conducted during the regular season, according to beat writer Bryan Hoch. Agree? Disagree? Comment below:
No. 1: May 6, 1930: Yankees receive right-hander Red Ruffing from the Red Sox for outfielder/first baseman Cedric Durst and $50,000.
Ruffing's career was revived by this lopsided in-season trade from Boston to New York, and the change of scenery transformed him from a mediocre pitcher into one headed for the Hall of Fame. Ruffing's record had been just 39-96 with the dismal Red Sox, but thanks to the offensive prowess of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, Ruffing would go 231-124 with a 3.47 ERA for the Yanks, picking up six World Series rings over the next 15 seasons.
A six-time American League All-Star, Ruffing finished his career in 1947 with the White Sox and was elected into Cooperstown in 1967. Durst, meanwhile, was a good defensive player who batted .245 in 302 at-bats for Boston and never played in the Majors after the '30 campaign.
No. 2: July 28, 1995: Yankees acquire right-hander David Cone from Blue Jays for right-handers Marty Janzen, Jason Jarvis and Mike Gordon.
After first starring across town with the Mets, Cone returned to New York to try on pinstripes as a hired gun and helped the Yankees secure their first postseason appearance since 1981, going 9-2 with a 3.82 ERA in 13 starts in 1995. He returned from a career-threatening aneurysm to post a 20-win season in '98, and then on July 18, 1999, vs. the Expos, Cone pitched the 16th perfect game in Major League -- doing so, memorably, with Don Larsen and Yogi Berra in attendance.
All told, Cone was 64-40 with a 3.91 ERA in 145 games (144 starts) for the Yankees. Still one of the most popular dynasty-era Yankees, Cone starred as an absolute bulldog in the postseason, where he was 6-1 in 12 starts. Janzen was 6-7 with a 6.39 ERA in 27 games for Toronto in 1996-97, while Gordon and Jarvis never made it to the Majors.
No. 3: April 27, 1974: Yankees receive first baseman Chris Chambliss and right-handers Dick Tidrow and Cecil Upshaw from Indians for left-hander Fritz Peterson and right-handers Steve Kline, Fred Beene and Tom Buskey.
Chambliss hit one of the most dramatic home runs in Yankees history, his pennant-winning drive off the Royals' Mark Littell in Game 5 of the 1976 AL Championship Series and was a solid presence at first base for the Bombers from 1974-79. In seven seasons with New York, Chambliss hit .282 with 79 homers, winning two World Series titles and driving in at least 90 runs from 1976-78.
Tidrow was useful for the Yanks, going 41-33 with a 3.61 ERA in 211 games from 1974-79 as a setup reliever and starter. Upshaw made just 36 relief appearances in '74 before being dealt to the White Sox. The deal was initially dubbed by fans, players and the media as "The Friday Night Massacre," but it turned out to be a steal for the Yankees. None of the four pitchers dealt to the Indians wound up lasting more than four seasons there.
No. 4: June 29, 2000: Yankees receive outfielder/designated hitter David Justice from Indians for right-hander Zach Day, outfielder Ricky Ledee and right-hander Jake Westbrook.
The Yankees needed a power bat as they pursued a fourth World Series title in five years, and after briefly discussing a trade for Sammy Sosa with the Cubs, they instead pulled the trigger on a trade for Justice. The veteran bolstered the lineup by hitting .305 with 20 homers and 60 RBIs in just 78 games and helping the club sweep the Mets in a Subway Series. Justice also provided pop for Joe Torre's 2001 club that took the D-backs the full seven games in the Fall Classic.
Cleveland received a good arm in Westbrook, a 2004 All-Star who has enjoyed a solid career, pitching well for both the Indians and the Cardinals. Ledee played 10 big league seasons with seven teams, mostly as a reserve while posting a .243 lifetime batting average. Day pitched in five big league seasons, going 21-27 with a 4.66 ERA.
No. 5: July 30, 2006: Yankees receive outfielder Bobby Abreu and right-hander Cory Lidle from Phillies for shortstop C.J. Henry, left-hander Matt Smith, right-hander Jesus Sanchez and right-hander Carlos Monasterios.
The deal was an undisputed Trade Deadline win for the Yankees, as Abreu contributed 2 1/2 solid seasons in right field for New York, including batting .330 with seven homers and 42 RBIs down the stretch in 2006. While not a superstar, "El Comedulce" blended in well with the Yankees' thumping lineup as a patient and consistent offensive performer.
Lidle helped in the Yanks' rotation down the stretch, making nine starts before his untimely passing at age 34 in an Oct. 11, 2006, plane accident. None of the players Philadelphia received in the deal reached the Majors, including Henry, a first-round Draft selection who quit baseball after the '08 season so he could try playing college basketball.

"This is an AMAZING recipe for moist scones! It has now become my baseline for all scones toffee, pecans/cinnamon, etc. Buttermilk and keeping the shapes together are critical. The only steps I've done differently are 1) cutting the dough into 2 for smaller portions and 2) giving a light brush of heavy cream before baking. Thank you for finally making me a believer of scones. )"
"Where's the recipe? Taken to a page that says "Oops, page not found." A search didn't find it, either!"
"What is ghee?"
"Is that bake for 75 - 85 minutes"
"I come from Lithuanian/Polish imigrants. Yes the potatoes have to be grated, but not shredded. For lack of a better term, you want the texture to be granular. The only way that I know how to this other than by hand (with the special old school grater) is to put them through a meat grinder on a fine setting."

Op-Ed, Ben Hodge at RedState – 59% of Overland Park voters say city tax increases hurt the local economy. But Overland Park Council unanimously passes 46% tax increase.Wednesday, August 17th, 2011
My Email to voters today in Johnson County, Kansas.
Benjamin B. Hodge
- Chair, State & Local Reform Educational Group of Kansas
- State Representative (Overland Park and Olathe), 2007-'08
- Johnson County Community College Trustee, 2005-'09
Wednesday, August 17, 2011
Poll: 59% of Overland Park Voters Think City Tax Increases
Will Hurt the Local Economy
Monday night, Overland Park City Council unanimously passed 46% property tax increase,
despite holding only one public hearing, and strong public opposition
Monday, I wrote to you about the scientific poll demonstrating that 67% of likely 2012 Overland Park voters preferred spending cuts, rather than tax increases, in order to balance the city budget. When respondents were asked specifically about the proposed 46% property tax increase, an overwhelming number – 80% – of voters opposed the tax increase. And 83% of likely 2012 voters wanted more public hearings on next year's city budget. There was only only one public hearing after the budget was announced, and this public hearing occurred after the Council had already unanimously voted to tentatively approve the 46% tax increase.
Unfortunately, on Monday night the City Council voted unanimously 13-0 to increase city property taxes by 46%. Here are some news accounts:
Today, we are releasing more information about the fiscally conservative views of Overland Park voters. The following information is from a poll conducted by the State and Local Educational Foundation of Kansas.
A strong majority - 59% – of Overland Park voters believe city tax increases hurt the local economy. Twenty-one percent (21%) of voters believe tax increases help the economy. Fifteen percent (15%) believe there is no impact on the economy, and 6% are undecided.
When it comes to cuts in city government spending, a plurality – 44% - believe they help the local economy. Twenty-seven percent (27%) believe spending cuts hurt the local economy, 22% believe there is no impact on the economy, and 7% are undecided.
Our own results among Overland Park voters compare closely with national results by the respected polling firm Rasmussen Reports. On April 30, 2011, Rasmussen wrote:
"A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters say, generally speaking, tax cuts help the economy. Most voters have shared that sentiment in surveys for years. Only 21% believe tax cuts hurt the economy, while 13% say they have no impact. Another 13% are not sure. (to see survey question wording, click here.) A plurality (48%) of voters say decreases in government spending will help the economy. Twenty-nine percent (29%) say cutting government spending will hurt the economy. Ten percent (10%) believe such decreases will have no impact, while 13% are not sure. These findings, too, have remained fairly consistent over the years."

Spending on Ad Specialties to Promote Census Awareness Tops $22 Million
TREVOSE, PA—May 27, 2010—The promotional products industry has been playing a major role in advertising the importance of the U.S. census via widely distributed branded items, the Advertising Specialty Institute said today.
As part of a massive awareness campaign, the U.S. government has reported spending $22.7 million on Census-related, including mugs, T-shirts, hats, water bottles and pencils. In total, 62.5 million promotional items have been given away in the campaign, at an estimated cost of a quarter per product or a nickel per person.
According to a Census official, using promotional items as reminders, instead of sending government representatives door-to-door, could save U.S. taxpayers up to $85 million.
"So far, more than 72% of the nation's households have mailed back their census forms, which the Census Bureau says already surpasses the total response rate in 2000 of 67%,"said Timothy M. Andrews, president and CEO of the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI). "We're happy the promotional products industry has played its part in helping this critical survey, which the government relies on to distribute more than $400 billion in federal funds to tribal, state and local governments each year."
Overall, the Census Bureau has paid $340 million for advertising, targeting $140 million to television, print and Internet ads. The cost of these "mainstream media" ads is roughly $1 per person. According to an exclusive ASI survey, the average cost-per-impression of an ad specialty item is $0.004.
ASI distributor PromoShop contracted with a number of U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Burbank and Glendale, to provide a variety of Census-branded promotional items, including pens, sticky notes, bags, water bottles and magnets.
"I was most excited to connect with the communities to provide useful and practical products to promote participation and educate households on the importance of being counted," said PromoShop President Memo Kahan.
ASI distributor Halo/Lee Wayne worked with the Kansas City Census office on its campaign, "It's In Our Hands," which distributed promotional items throughout Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri and Oklahoma.
The items included patriotic stickers from supplier Gill Studios Inc., mood pencils from Jo-Bee, bright ID/bag tags from Senator and Quikey Mfg Co., rulers from Pilgrim Plastics, and can holders from Cooler Graphics. Many of the items were distributed at schools and county fairs. Census workers were also outfitted with embroidered polo shirts from Akwa.
"I found it rewarding to use my expertise to guide our government to quality, affordable promotional products for their awareness program," said Halo/Lee Wayne Senior Account Executive Anita Daniels. "So much hinges on the U.S. Census. It gave me a great sense of pride knowing the government was helping me and I was helping some of my fellow American workers."
About ASI

Your doctor likely would say
that corporate break-room vending is no way to eat properly, but Avanti Markets, the Tukwila, Wash.-based company that bills itself as "the sole leader in the micro-market industry," would beg to differ.
Theoretically, with its selection of low-calorie, low-fat meals ready to microwave and its fruit-and-vegetable options, one could keep heart-healthy and trim by relying regularly on Avanti's location in The
Baltimore Sun
building, which has a captive audience of badge-toting employees who can load up their bar-coded Avanti Market cards using a computer kiosk. In reality, though, after putting $50 on an Avanti card (which gives users an extra $3, about the cost of Avanti's yummy, but decidedly not healthy "hot 'n' ready bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit" [$2.99], which seems an exact clone of the same prepackaged item available at your nearby 7-Eleven, giving about half of the daily recommended amounts of fat, salt, and cholesterol, so consumers can almost set a timer to the onset of bloating and palpitations), users will likely go wild with Snickers (99 cents) and Utz chips (99 cents for 1.5 ounces).
For lunch, the tuna salad sandwich ($3.29) looked a bit dry, so we grabbed a packet of "Flavor Fresh" mayonnaise to dress it up with. Before ripping open a corner of the packet, we felt what seemed to be lumps inside, so we squeezed it, trying to smooth them out, and double-checked the label to make sure we hadn't grabbed tartar sauce by mistake. We hadn't, so we proceeded with caution and curiosity while opening the packet-and were greatly surprised when a brown, oily substance oozed out, which sent us, retching, on a sprint to the trash can. Lesson learned: Hold the mayo.
So far, given that experience, we've shied away from all other lunch sandwiches, but the breakfast sandwiches quickly have become gut-busting staples in the morning. As time passes, perhaps the Maruchan ramen noodle bowls (79 cents), the Bumble Bee tuna salad kits ($2.49), or the Barilla marinara penne packages ($4.99) will join the rotation. More likely, though, we'll stick with the coffee ($1.19 from a single-serve Keurig machine), Twizzlers ($1.99 for a 6-ounce bag), and Skittles ($1.49 for a 7.2-ounce bag) as our workaday diet, and balance out the bad calories with healthy eating at home.

I've been on a Ghana kick lately, digging out a lot of semi-forgotten vinyl in my collection that I haven't listened to in years. I know you won't mind if I share it with you!
Other than falling under the general rubric "Ghana Highlife," the tunes in this post don't follow any particular theme - I more or less pulled them out at random. There's the classic danceband sound and the more stripped-down guitar highlife style, and even an example of the controversial "Burgher" highlife genre. I've left for future posts some of the big names - the African Brothers, Alex Konadu, A.B. Crentsil and Jewel Ackah - as well as the multitude of Ghanaian artists who made careers in Nigeria during the '70s and '80s.
Yamoah's Guitar Band, based in Kumasi and led by Peter Kwabena Yamoah (right), emerged from the Ghana concert party scene in the 1950s and has been one of the most influential Ghanaian music outfits ever since, which makes its lack of recognition outside Ghana all the more unjust. Nana Ampadu of African Brothers fame got his start there, as did guitarist Smart Nkansah and the sublime vocalist Agyaaku, who later formed the Sunsum Band (more about which later). I'm not sure when Yamoah's Special (Motorway MTL 3001) was released, nor does it feature any credits, but I suspect it came out in the early '70s and does feature Nkansah and Agyaaku. "Saa Na Odo Te/Otan Gu Ahorow" is a killer track, and "Suro Nea Obesee Wo" is almost as good:
Yamoah's Band - Saa Na Odo Te/Otan Gu Ahorow
Yamoah's Band - Suro Nea Obesee Wo
Pat Thomas served as a vocalist with the Broadway Dance Band, the Stargazers and the Uhurus before False Lover (Gapophone GAPO LP 02, 1974) introduced him to the world fronting the Sweet Beans, official band of the government Cocoa Marketing Board. He went on to became one of Ghana's most popular vocalists, and while his star has dimmed somewhat since, his sweet voice and sparkling arrangements are hard to forget. Not content to dip his toes in the reggae sound then sweeping Africa, Thomas jumps in head-first in the first four songs on False Lover, notably this one:
Pat Thomas & the Sweet Beans - Revolution
The rest of the album, billed as an attempt to revive the danceband sound, succeeds admirably:
Pat Thomas & the Sweet Beans - Don't Beat the Time
Pat Thomas & the Sweet Beans - Merebre
Pat Thomas & the Sweet Beans - Wabe Aso
I mentioned in my last post The Guitar and Gun (Sterns Earthworks STEW 50CD, 2003), which collects tracks from The Guitar and the Gun Vol. 1 (Africagram A DRY 1, 1983) and The Guitar and the Gun Vol. 2 (Africagram A DRY 6, 1985) John Collins' groundbreaking collections of Ghana highlife. Inexplicable to me is the exclusion of the African Internatonals' "Noko Nya M'akire" from Vol. 1, probably the best track on either record. To correct this oversight, I make it available here:
African Internationals - Noko Nya M'akire
Smart Nkansah and Agyaaku became friends when they were part of Yamoah's Band in the late '60s. A few years later Nkansah went his own way, eventually forming the immortal Sweet Talks Band with A.B. Crentsil in 1975, which recorded such classics as Adam and Eve and Hollywood Highlife Party before falling apart.
Nkansah & Agyaaku later reunited to form the Black Hustlers before founding the Sunsum Band in 1981. Their album Odo (Love) (ASA Records ASA 1001, 1984) features an exciting blend of guitar highlife, the classic danceband sound and the vocal stylings of Becky B, Smart Nkansah's sister-in-law. The title track was included in my compilation African Divas Vol. 1. "Mensee Madwen" is a medley from Side 2 of the LP:
The Sunsum Band - Mensee Madwen
Over the years thriving Ghanaian communities have developed in the United Kingdom, Canada and the U.S. Interestingly, because of relatively liberal immigration laws at the time, a sizable Ghanaian population emerged in Germany during the 1970s, and this community gave birth to the so-called "Burgher" highlife phenomenon.
Excoriated and loathed by purists, Burgher highlife, along with Hiplife, has come to define the modern-day highlife sound in Ghana. George Darko's "Akoo Te Brofo," released in 1983 with its funkified beat and heavy reliance on electronic instrumentation, is generally considered the first Burgher highlife hit. Musicians like Kantata, Rex Gyamfi and McGod were quick to follow in Darko's footsteps.
Charles Amoah's Eyε Odo Asεm (Cage Records 01-18957, 1987) is pretty much your archetypal Burgher highlife record, recorded in Dusseldorf and featuring mainly German musicians, German producers, even a German art director! Amoah himself started out playing straight-ahead highlife music in the '70s with the likes of the Happy Boys led by Kwabena Akwaboah and Alex Konadu's Band. He ended up in Germany in the late '70s where he bounced around various bands before releasing Sweet Vibration in 1984, the first of his many hit records.
Amoah has since returned to Ghana, where he has a prosperous career touring and recording. Here's a tune from Eyε Odo Asεm:
Charles Amoah - Di Ahurusi
If you'd like to hear some more contemprary examples of Burgher highlife, go here. Many thanks to Akwaboa of Highlife Haven, who provided useful information.

Large predators get a bad rap. But new research shows that they can enhance biodiversity, buffer climate change, and curb the spread of disease. Gray wolves, for example, which are now the focus of a wide-scale hunting campaign in the Rocky Mountains and Great Lakes regions of the United States, keep populations of herbivorous prey in check and, in turn, allow woody plants to flourish and store more carbon. On the other side of the world, dingoes have long faced persecution, yet they have now been shown to help maintain native marsupial populations by controlling medium-sized predators. Even as science reveals the importance of these animals, they face increasing human-induced threats.
What is it about large predators that makes them so important in ecosystems? How can we ensure their continued survival in a world with increasing human encroachment? And what would a world without predators look like if we fail?
Join us on Thursday, 9 January, at 3 p.m. EST on this page for a live video chat where experts will discuss these questions and take yours. Be sure to leave your queries for our guests in the comment box below.

Aluminum is one of the most used metals in today's society – Aluminium Sliding Channel in Rating it can be found across a number of industries, such as construction and commercial, and in a number of applications, such as beverage cans and appliances. When choosing a manufacturer of aluminium extrusion for supplying the metal that you use in your workplace, however, it is important that you carefully consider which one will be best for your needs.
The manufacturer will begin by removing the aluminium from deep within the earth's crust (either as bauxite ore or feldspar). Often, the Bayer's method, Wohler's method or Hall Heroult method is chosen to remove the metal in its molten form. It is then hardened and moulded into whatever shape the manufacturer desires. When the aluminium is extracted from the earth in its solid form, Aluminum Extrusions For Sale it will be passed through a number of mechanical processes that are designed to give the metal its desired shape. These processes include: rolling, drawing, forging, spinning, piercing and extrusion.
Regardless of whether aluminium has been found in its molten or solid form, the manufacturer will then pass it through either a hot working or cold working process to prepare it for their customers. When using the hot working process (the most popular of the two), a billet will be heated to a temperature of over 79 degrees Celsius, which will allow the aluminium to be easily distorted and placed into its desired shape.
The reason for the popularity of the hot working process over the cold working one can be fully realized when you compare aluminium extrusion to squeezing toothpaste out of its tube. It is much easier to extrude the metal when it is malleable, meaning that it must have been heated to a certain temperature.
Finally, the aluminium will pass through an extrusion and drawing process that runs almost parallel to each other. This is the final step in the whole extrusion process and is the step that gives the metal its entire shape. Deep drawing, for example, is used give the metal a cup, conical tapered, cylinder and seamless tube shape. For less curved shapes, Buy Aluminum Extrusion the drawing process is skipped.
Once you are satisfied with the processes and methods utilized by a potential manufacturer of aluminium extrusions, you can begin submitting your orders with them. If, after your first delivery, you are still satisfied with the manufacturer based on the promptness of the order being filled and the quality of the aluminium that you receive, you can continue the relationship.
Aluminium Sliding Channel in Rating?
While aluminium is a very versatile material and aluminium doors can be suitably installed in a variety of indoor and outdoor contexts, two of the best places for the installation of aluminium doors are in industrial locations and as barriers between the inside and outside.
Aluminium doors are ideally suited to being installed as a barrier between indoor and outdoor environments because of their weatherproof and durable nature. This makes them a top choice for patio doors and café or bar doors leading to courtyards. Aluminium is one of best materials for patio door frames because the metal is a strong and very low-maintenance product. The advantages of installing aluminium framed doors as barriers between in and outdoors are largely due to the natural properties of the metal which make it resistant to corrosion as well as being impermeable and odourless. The aluminium framed doors do not rust and provide premium stability if installed correctly. Not only do doors of aluminium come in an extensive range of powder coated colours, they can also be carefully patterned for various aesthetic effects. Finally, aluminium framed doors are one of the best doors to be installed between interior and exterior because they won't warp or swell in damp conditions as wooden doors often do.
One of the second locations where doors of aluminium are best installed is in the heavy duty contexts of factories and warehouses where they are often the number one choice for a variety of applications. The popularity of aluminium doors in these environments is due again to the naturally strong, durable and low-maintenance nature of the metal. Aluminium is able to withstand any of the bumps and scrapes that are customary during the movement and transport of industrial machinery and products. Doors for industrial locations are made from large, high-strength metal panels that withstand the passage of oversize cargo and bulky machinery. Another reason why aluminium doors are such a top choice for heavy duty purposes is because the metal can be thermally treated to be scratch and dent resistant.
These are just too of the most popular locations for aluminium framed doors, but really, with such a versatile metal, the possible applications are endless. As well as providing a practical patio door and industrial door solution, glass and aluminium doors can be used inside the home in bathrooms and bedrooms as well as in the interiors or offices and other commercial constructions.
Get the Most Out of Aluminum Railings
Extrusion is the process to change the structure and shape of different metals. Some of the metals that are commonly extruded include aluminium, copper, lead, magnesium, zinc, titanium etc.
As aluminium is malleable in nature, it is easy to extrude. Specific dies are used for the aluminium extrusion process. These steel dies have opening of the desired shapes. Primarily, this process can be of two types - hot and cold. For hot process, precise heating is very important. It is done above the aluminium's recrystallization temperature. While, cold process is done at room temperature or near room temperature.
To obtain superior quality and improved surface finished aluminium extrusions, accurate temperate and its monitoring is vital. The finishing increases the durability, strength and its appearance. In the process, a billet is heated at the temperature of 400 C to 500 C and is pushed through the die under pressure to create preferred profiles. The shape, structure and specifications vary according to the requirements of the product, customers and its application.
The company's manufacturing aluminium extrusions prefer extrusion process over welding as it gives product with constant cross section. The strength and lightweight (strength-to-weight ratio) of this metal makes it popular among customers. Its several other properties gives it edge over other metals. These are cost-effective, corrosion-resistive, flexible and durable.
The prime source of aluminium is bauxite ore and Feldspar to some extent. Some of the fields where the this metal's extruded shapes are used include transportation, building and construction to name a few.

If none are present and the sounds continue, we recommend running an empty load to see if the noise continues. This will allow you to determine if the noise is coming from the unit or an article that was being dried. If the noise is still present during the empty load, please contact us.

Pamela Anderson's Pixie: I Stole It From Ellen!
The star reveals why she went for the switch
Michael Rozman/Warner Bros.
Two weeks ago, when Pamela Anderson last visited Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, Anderson was still sporting the long, platinum strands she was so known for. And during the course of their conversation, DeGeneres predicted that Anderson wouldn't finish the N.Y.C. marathon.
Well, Anderson had two major surprises for DeGeneres when she returned to the show Wednesday. Not only did she run all 26.2 miles (and then went straight for the ice packs) but she did it with a brand-new, super-short pixie cut.
"I stole your haircut!" she announced to the famously close-cropped comedian — and on further inspection, they are pretty similar. DeGeneres asked what inspired the change.
"I just thought my hair had had a 'life,'" Anderson said. "And I wanted to put that behind me and start fresh, and I thought it would be good for the marathon. And it was!" (DeGeneres suggested it might be more aerodynamic. "Absolutely!" Anderson agreed.)
We haven't seen the new pixie all glammed up, and we have to say we love it as much with a little black dress as we did her previous Parisian-inspired getup — not to mention her marathon gear. How about you?
–Alex Apatoff

Where Home Is (Mini-Tour)
Saturday, March 7, 2015
So I've been asked many times by several different people to post pictures of our apartment! FINALLY I am doing it. :-) Most of these pictures were taken on different days, as different parts of the house happened to be cleaned haha - so that accounts for the variance in lighting!!
This is our room. I love having a comforter on our bed - it's one of those little things that just makes me happy (as opposed to a quilt). I think it was raining the day I took this picture - that's why the window looks all spotty lol.
I took this picture at Christmas time when we had our tree up :-) That's gone now of course, but I always have the white lights on top of the kitchen cabinets. I love the coziness of them in the evening and early mornings!!
The top of our bookshelf - I finally got around to ordering prints of our wedding photos, so this one's on display. Sorry it's kinda blurry here.
Our bathroom. You might have noticed by now that these aren't very spacious shots; our apartment is small and cozy so these are more like places rather than different rooms :-) Though our bedroom is seperate from the living room.
And this - is our "linen closet"!!! It's actually quite handy having this big ole' basket with fresh towels in it right next to the sink / shower. Easy access. Plus it forces me to actually fold them up and organize them. :-)
Quick caveat here, just had to say that I am LOVING these soy candles from Target right now. This lavender one I keep in our room - since lavender is supposed to "enhance sleep" I usually light it in the evening when we're both getting ready for bed. It's so relaxing and yummy smelling :-) David knows me so well now that if I'm in the shower, he'll go ahead and light all my candles for me throughout the house to make it smell good.
We have a big window in the living room that our kitchen table is right in front of. I got this Scripture decal from Hobby Lobby and put it above our window - I love it! It's the perfect touch.
This week I've really started noticing some baby movements!! Sooo exciting to feel finally!! It's mainly at night when I lie down and am totally still, I start to feel my little pumpkin swimming around in there lol :-) Sometimes it's really pronounce and I feel all this pressure on one side or the other, and then when I feel with me hand at that spot, there's this big hard lump there. It's so crazy! It feels so amazing to know that I have the privilege of being this baby's home for 9 months. Pregnancy is truly a miracle.

In 2007 and 2008, most Americans probably learned about the presidential campaign through the media. A little TV, some Internet, maybe newspapers and magazines. There was certainly plenty of coverage – not to mention plenty to say. As readers remember, the candidacies of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama provoked a nationwide conversation about gender and race.
But a very, very small segment of the population was at Harvard Law School during 2007 and 2008, taking Randall Kennedy's class on the campaign. Kennedy is not only a legal scholar but the author of several books on race and racism, including "Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word," and "Race, Crime, and the Law." As such, Kennedy's students had the additional benefit of their professor's scholarly and historical perspective – and now you can, too.
In The Persistence of the Color Line: Racial Politics and the Obama Presidency, Kennedy helpfully compiles and interprets the public conversation around Obama's 2008 election and his nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. He references New York Times' op-eds, blog posts, blog comments, song lyrics, Congressional outbursts, court cases, radio talk show hosts, poems, political ads, Gallup polls, sermons, books, articles, speeches, off-the-record remarks, and lots and lots of history. (Indeed, on some pages the footnotes are almost as long as the text.) Kennedy uses these cultural artifacts to consider whether President Obama's election means that the United States is post-racial.
Kennedy's answer – which he articulates in the first sentence of the book – is no. Kennedy writes, "The terms under which Barack Obama won the presidency, the conditions under which he governs, and the circumstances under which he seeks reelection all display the haunting persistence of the color line." Guided by this thesis, subsequent chapters consider how race (and sometimes gender) factored into blacks' response to Obama, whites' response to Obama, and the president's own rhetoric.
Regarding the black community, Kennedy posits that Obama walked "the tightrope between being black enough but not too black." He cites comments in The New Republic, AfroChat.net, and New York magazine that indicate Obama's dark-skinned, African-American wife won him particular goodwill among many in the black community. For these contributors, the president's mate was a sign of his commitment to his black identity. On the other hand, Kennedy suggests that Obama's elusive stance on affirmative action made many blacks suspect the president's commitment to racial fairness.
Nevertheless, Kennedy recognizes Obama's overwhelming popularity among most African Americans. He credits their enthusiasm to "the magnetism of success," as well as to neediness: "Blacks are so used to being neglected, if not mistreated, that they often tend to exaggerate the virtues of authorities that treat them with even a modicum of respect."
Kennedy's assessment of the white community's response is also skeptical. Kennedy surmises from an anecdote Obama tells in his own book, "The Audacity of Hope," that the president took care to make whites feel less white. Kennedy also points out that in Obama's well-known race speech the president uses the passive voice – simultaneously acknowledging slavery and Jim Crow while obscuring enslavers and Jim Crowers. As a result of Obama's careful expression,
Kennedy hypothesizes that many whites were grateful, or at least confident that Obama did not resent them. Ultimately Kennedy suggests that Obama did not so much overcome whites' racial resistance as neutralize it.
In his final chapter, Kennedy offers several conclusions: that race still matters, but it is sometimes an asset; that black candidates, voters, and officials are likely to remain a force, especially in the Democratic party; and that, at the very least, Obama's presidency has effectively demonstrated that a person of color can responsively govern.
These conclusions are not earth-shattering, but they are useful points of reflection. The same might be said for "Persistence" as a whole. By adapting his lectures and harnessing some of the national chatter, Kennedy has created a valuable historical document – both for those of us who lived through the 2008 election and would welcome a more academic perspective on it, and for those who one day will look back on that time and wonder what people were talking about.

Take a time interval $[0,T]$, and a filtered probability space $(\Omega,P,\mathcal{F},\mathcal{F}_t)$. If $X \in L^1(\mathcal{F}_T)$, then $M_t = E [X \ | \ \mathcal{F}_t]$ is a martingale. If I want the martingale $M$ to have continuous or right continuous paths, is there a condition I can impose on the filtration to ensure this?
A standard result says that if the filtration is right-continuous, meaning that $\cap_{s>t} \mathcal{F}_s = \mathcal{F}_t$, then there exists a modification of $M$ with right continuous paths (in fact right continuous with left limits). However, I want to say something about the original process, and not a modification.

Washington - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday approved Boeing Co's plan to certify a redesigned battery system on the 787 Dreamliner and will permit two aircraft limited flights to test it.
The FAA's move puts Boeing one step closer to returning the troubled 787 to the air after the plane was grounded in mid-January by transport authorities worldwide following two incidents involving burning batteries.
"We won't allow the plane to return to service unless we're satisfied that the new design ensures the safety of the aircraft and its passengers," U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement.
Boeing's new battery - which it presented to the FAA in late February - is designed to minimize the chances of a short circuit, insulates the cells within the battery better and adds a new containment and venting system to prevent damage even if the battery catches fire.
The FAA said the new design must pass a series of tests before it is approved and that the agency will be "closely involved" in the certification process.
"Today's approval from the FAA is a critical and welcome milestone toward getting the fleet flying again and continuing to deliver on the promise of the 787," Boeing Chief Executive Jim McNerney said in a statement.
Regulators grounded the 50 Dreamliners in use by airlines on Jan. 16 after lithium-ion batteries burned aboard two planes, banning airlines from flying the 787 and stopping Boeing from delivering them. Although its factories continue to make the 787, Boeing is losing an estimated $50 million a week while the planes are grounded.

In Spain, abortion was only legal when case the pregnancy poses a threat to the physical or mental health of the woman, or in case of rape or fetal malformations.
The boat was able to sail out to international waters with several women. Outside the Spanish territorial waters the women on board could get a safe, medical abortion. The campaign was covered by media around the world. Spain finally legalized abortion in 2010

Myers putting up Puig-like numbers
TORONTO -- Since rookie Wil Myers joined the Rays on June 18, they have gone 21-8, including Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays. During that span, he leads all Major League rookies in RBIs (18) and is tied with the Dodgers' Yasiel Puig in home runs (four) and is second in hits with 35 behind Puig's 36.
On Saturday, Myers went 2-for-4 with two RBIs in his first game batting cleanup.
Only one player in Rays history had as many hits and RBIs in his first 27 Major League games: Rocco Baldelli, who had 40 hits and 20 RBIs in 2003.
Myers' fourth home run of the season came on an 0-2 pitch from Esmil Rogers leading off the fourth inning of Friday's 8-5 win over the Blue Jays. The ball went to right field -- Myers' opposite field -- and opened some eyes, including those of manager Joe Maddon.
"That 0-2 home run was pretty different," Maddon said. "That was really well struck right there."
Myers grinned when asked if he knew he "got it" well enough to go out.
"Yeah I did," Myers said. "I got it on the barrel, so I knew it had a chance to get out."

Classroom Beautiful - Jason Hubler
Louisville, Kentucky
"I want it to be a place kids feel comfortable in and like going to," he says of his masterpiece classroom.
His advice for getting neat stuff for your room? "Don't be afraid to say, 'Can I borrow this? Can I use that in my classroom?'
"You'll be amazed what you can get just by asking."
We're not suggesting you try to recreate his digs—for one thing, he did this in a double room, much more space than you probably have. For another, it took him many years to put it together. But we hope his example will inspire you to create a classroom that works for your students and fits your personality and teaching style.
Here are two features of Hubler's room: the amazing collection of comic books that he uses to motivate readers, and the math mummy.
What does the mummy have to do with math? The connection is pyramids (as in Egyptian). This one's a "pyramid of probability." When you drop marbles into the mummy's mouth, they come out a hole in its neck and tumble down following random paths, collecting at the bottom in roughly a normal distribution. A lesson the kids will definitely remember!
Other things to look for when viewing Hubler's classroom are his cutouts of words. He packs his walls with large words--quick reminders of what he's taught. They're mostly in ones and twos, not long sentences, so kids glancing around can take them in.
He also knows how to do whiteboards on the cheap. His is floor-to-ceiling bathroom paneling, costing a mere $20 a sheet.

About the IUD
Talking to your kids about sex can be daunting, no matter how close you are. But discussing issues like abstinence, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and birth control can help lower teens' risk of an unintended pregnancy or contracting an STD.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) supports sex education that includes information about both abstinence and birth control. Research has shown that this information doesn't increase kids' level of sexual activity, but actually promotes and increases the proper use of birth control methods among sexually active teens.
How and when you discuss sex and birth control is up to you. Providing the facts is vital, but it's also wise to tell your kids where you stand. Remember, by approaching these issues like any other health topics, not as something dirty or embarrassing, you increase the odds that your kids will feel comfortable coming to you with any questions and problems. As awkward as it might feel, answer questions honestly. And if you don't know the answers, it's OK to say so, then find out and report back.
If you have questions about how to talk with your son or daughter about sex, consider consulting your child's doctor. Lots of parents find this tough to tackle, and a doctor may offer some helpful perspective.
What Is an Intrauterine Device (IUD)?
The intrauterine device (IUD) is a piece of T-shaped plastic, about the size of a quarter, that is placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Two types of IUDs are available: one is covered with copper, the other releases the hormone progesterone.
How Does an IUD Work?
The copper-coated IUD primarily prevents pregnancy by not allowing the sperm to fertilize the egg. It may also make it harder for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus. When an IUD is coated with progesterone, it works in a similar way, but also thickens the cervical mucus and thins the uterine lining. In some cases, it stops ovulation (the release of an egg during the monthly cycle). This prevents sperm from fertilizing the egg and implanting.
One type of progesterone IUD also can be used to help reduce blood flow for girls who have heavy, painful periods (dysmenorrhea).
How Effective Is It?
Both types of IUDs are very effective at preventing pregnancy. Over the course of a year, fewer than 1 out of 100 typical couples using an IUD will have an accidental pregnancy.
The IUD is effective from the time it is put in and it lasts a long time. A copper IUD can stay in place for up to 10 years. Progesterone IUDs can stay in place for 3 to 5 years, depending on the brand. This makes the IUD a good option for women who are not ready to start a family. Even though an IUD can stay in place for a long time, a gynecologist or specialized nurse practitioner can remove it at any time.
Protection Against STDs
The IUD does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Couples who are having sex must always use condoms along with the IUD to protect against STDs.
A doctor or nurse practitioner will check to be sure a girl doesn't have any STDs before putting in an IUD. If a girl gets an IUD put in at the same time she has an infection, it could lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Abstinence (not having sex) is the only method that always prevents pregnancy and STDs.
Possible Side Effects
The most common side effects of the IUD include:
- irregular bleeding for the first few months
- with the copper IUD, heavier periods with more cramps
- lighter and shorter periods (or no periods) with some kinds of progesterone IUDs
- PMS-like symptoms such as moodiness, headaches, acne, nausea, and breast tenderness with the hormonal IUD
Rare problems include:
- Expulsion. An IUD can come out of a girl's uterus by accident (called "expulsion"). Sometimes a girl doesn't know this has happened. The overall risk of expulsion is low, but it is slightly more common in women who have never had a baby. A woman can check that an IUD is still in place by feeling for the string (a doctor or nurse practitioner can explain how to do this). A doctor should also be told about any odd vaginal discharge, cramping or pain, fever, or if the length of the IUD string changes. After a girl has an IUD inserted, she'll need to go back for a follow-up visit with the doctor within the first 3 months. The doctor or nurse practitioner will check that the IUD is properly in place.
- Perforation of the uterus. There's an extremely small (1 in 1,000) risk that an IUD might push through the wall of the uterus while it is being put in.
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). There's a very low risk of infection from bacteria getting into the uterus during IUD insertion. Most infections occur in the first 20 days after placement of the IUD.
Who Uses an IUD?
IUDs are a good birth control option for almost every female. However, IUDs aren't recommended if:
- a girl has PID or an active STD infection
- a girl is already pregnant or may be pregnant
- a girl has problems with her uterus, like a disease or malformation, or if she has abnormal bleeding
Experts now recommend IUDs as a good birth control option for younger women and teens because they last for many years, require no daily maintenance, and are very effective at preventing pregnancy. A newer type of IUD is smaller and uses a lower dose of progesterone, which may make it a better option for females who have never had a baby.
Where Are IUDs Available?
An IUD must be inserted by a doctor or nurse practitioner. It is often easiest to put an IUD in during a girl's period, but it can be inserted anytime during a girl's cycle as long as she is not pregnant.
Copper IUDs need to be replaced every 10 years, and progesterone IUDs should be replaced every 3-5 years, depending on the brand.
How Much Does It Cost?
An IUD costs about $500 to $1,000. That doesn't include the cost of having a doctor or nurse practitioner insert and remove it, as well as follow-up visits — these things cost extra. Many health insurance plans cover the costs, and family planning clinics (such as Planned Parenthood) may charge less.
Because an IUD lasts for many years, the cost works out to about the same as monthly birth control methods, such as the Pill or ring.

Lili is an 8-year-old Hungarian girl who blogs in English (!). She drew a rabbit driving a race carrot and got McLaren's world champion driver Jenson Button to sign it. This is her ultra-cute story.
Button was in Budapest for the weekend to race at the Hungarian Grand Prix, and as usual at F1 events, he was out in town giving signatures before the race. Instead of the usual magazine clipping, Lili arrived with a race carrot she'd drawn, driven by a serious-looking race bunny. Bridging the gap between her height and Button's lanky frame proved to be quite a challenge, as she recounts in her mischievous blogpost:
i had a close look at the car that i took a couple of pictures of and that he probably is not driving this weekend on the hungaroring where the real battle will take place and unfortunately i won't be there but surely watch the race on the telly with dad. frankly speaking i'm right now a
lewis hamilton fan but he was not around yesterday but he is more handsome than jenson i guess though jenson looked okey too and he was stubbly like dad. the car itself looks bigger than i thought and i secretly touched the front left tire and the nose of the car and i could give it a little push too although it was strictly forbidden and when jenson came in for the signing that took something like 5 minutes the crowd went berserk and i wasn't afraid but too little to be noticed and people were falling and all of them were like jenson please please jenson but didn't say a word only showed this drawing and my arms were not long enough to reach the pilot and than dad took my drawing and he was bigger than the crowd and then the pilot finally could see the carrot car and he was as pleased as can be and gave his last autograph to me
Totally awesome and unbearably cute. By the way, did you know that the phrase "race carrot or race car" is a genuine palindrome?

WASHINGTON (MEDIA GENERAL) — Republicans have voted to repeal Obamacare dozens of times since it passed in 2010, but President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to be the man who finally declares the program dead.
In fact, Trump promised during the campaign to undo the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on day one in office.
After the election, the billionaire businessman visited DC and doubled down, telling congressional leaders that repealing and replacing the sprawling health care program is one of his top three priorities, along with immigration and jobs.
Obamacare has no doubt struggled in the price and public perception departments.
"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan," was a false statement oft repeated by President Obama during the ACA sales pitch, and turned out to be an albatross permanently affixed to the White House.
More recently, just a month before Election Day, the feds were forced to announce that customers would face an average national premium hike of 22 percent.
Upcoming repeal
House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have signaled an eagerness to repeal and replace the program.
But that process is easier promised than executed, given Obamacare's numerous intricacies.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., a physician, has predicted that a full repeal could take two years.
Trump has been extremely vague on most relevant details, as is his custom, but insists a simultaneous repeal and replace maneuver will be possible during his first days in office.
So here's what we know (and don't know) so far about his plan, based on the scraps of information he's dropped during previous rallies and interviews.
Pre-existing conditions
Prior to Obamacare, insurance companies legally and routinely excluded coverage of customers' medical conditions if they were deemed "pre-existing."
Many Americans with chronic conditions like diabetes and high cholesterol could obtain new medical coverage, but weren't allowed to bill insurance companies for routine treatments of these illnesses, leading to sky high out-of-pocket expenses.
The ACA made the practice of excluding select conditions illegal, forcing insurers to cover all illnesses, pre-existing and otherwise.
Trump says his plan will retain this provision.
"It happens to be one of the strongest assets," he said of the pre-existing condition coverage on CBS' "60 Minutes."
It's also a budget buster.
What bogged down Obamacare to begin with is too many sick people (many with pre-existing conditions) signed up for coverage, and not enough healthy people balanced them out by paying their premiums and not seeking expensive treatments.
Absent this equalizing factor, insurance companies couldn't hold costs down and sometimes dropped out of the Obamacare system altogether.
When you look at the budget, this will be a difficult promise to keep.
Adult child coverage
Trump also vowed on "60 Minutes" to continue giving parents the option of cover their adult children until the age of 26.
"It adds cost, but it's very much something we're going to try and keep," said the president-elect.
Prior to ACA's passage, most insurance plans kicked subscribers' children off the rolls once they turned 18 or graduated college.
With an entire generation of millennials still living at home, struggling to make ends meet and paying massive student loans, the ability to remain on their parents' (often more affordable) family insurance plans is a welcome option.
Individual Mandate
When Democrats crafted the ACA, they included an "individual mandate" requiring all Americans to buy medical insurance, or pay a penalty.
It was a way of a) increasing the number of insured Americans while b) decreasing the risk of only unhealthy people signing up for new plans.
By diluting the "risk pool" for insurance companies, they could theoretically keep prices down.
This is the axis on which affordable health care turns.
Although the individual mandate concept was originally introduced by conservatives in 1989, it fell out of favor with right-leaning members of Congress by the time Obamacare passed.
Trump's campaign website backs a repeal of the mandate.
But if he plans to continue covering pre-existing conditions, Trump would likely need to offset the cost by ensuring a wider risk pool through a mandate.
For the time being, this element is in limbo.
State-based exchanges
For states that didn't opt in to the Obamacare system, there's a federal health care exchange program where residents can obtain coverage.
But for states that did decide to work with the federal program, insurance exchanges were set up on a state-by-state basis.
Customers could only buy health care offered by companies in their own state.
Many of those statewide exchanges have faced extreme financial hardships, with many insurance companies withdrawing and certain states closing their health care marketplaces completely.
The president-elect plans to nix state-based exchanges.
"Trump has said he also wants to allow insurers to sell policies across state lines to boost competition," reports NPR.
This is an instance where the GOPs free market principles will decisively win out.
Lifetime caps
Obamacare bans insurance companies from placing annual and lifetime caps on coverage for enrollees, regardless of cost.
It wasn't long ago that insurers could refuse to pay for treatments that exceeded a certain amount of money per year or in a lifetime, often forcing customers with major injuries or serious illnesses into destitution.
That's no longer allowed, but a total repeal of Obamacare would likely allow companies to reinstitute caps in order to save on costs.
This issue is also a toss-up.
Clearly, many more questions exist for Trump's health care plan than do specifics – not to mention the dollars and cents of its replacement.
Speaker Ryan has proposed a detailed replacement plan, but it remains to be seen whether Trump will adopt its recommendations as his own.Follow Chance Seales on Twitter: @ChanceSeales

Microsoft has purchased Komoku, a maker of anti-rootkit technology whose customers include the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. Microsoft did not disclose the dollar amount of the deal, but has said it will incorporate Komoku's technology into its Forefront enterprise security product and its Windows Live OneCare product.
Rootkits, which are designed to gain administrator access to a computer and bypass all installed security software, gained public notoriety in 2005 when Sony BMG included a rootkit on some of its music CDs in an effort to control unauthorized copying. The public outcry eventually caused Sony to apologize, and remove the rootkits from its products.

Artist Profile:
Receptor Sight is the mental construct of the brothers Roffeld: Greg and Steve. Deriving their name from information reading proteins on the cell surface of the brain, the northern California duo creates astonishing soundscapes from their secluded Mt Shasta studio. Musically the sound can be reminiscent of everything from Can to Sonic Youth, to early Floyd and Coil.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Serena Williams has moved into the third round of the Australian Open with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Garbine Muguruza of Spain on Thursday.
Williams injured her right ankle in her first-round match against Edina Gallovits-Hall, falling to the court, but still managed to complete a 6-0, 6-0 victory.
She had a private practice session on Wednesday and didn't seem bothered by the injury in Thursday's 75-minute match.
With the win, Williams stayed on track to win her third Grand Slam in a row - she also won last year's Wimbledon and U.S. Open - and a chance to complete the second ``Serena Slam'' of her career - holding all four majors at the same time.
