This spring, Fenwick seniors Nick Sagastume and Mike Doherty teamed up at doubles for the first time during their high school tennis careers.
While the duo didn't start off the season as the top tandem, they've moved up to that spot after discovering in January how well they complemented each other at Banua, Fenwick's musical and comedy review.
"We were both in choir and people had heard our voices and everyone said we had good voices," Doherty said. "We were kind of nervous about the unveiling but I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from people who told us we did well."
Sagastume, who also plays soccer at Fenwick and lives in Western Springs, has been playing guitar for the last six or seven years but just started singing in September. Doherty is a member of the Fenwick hockey team who lives in Elmhurst. He had sung in plays when he was younger, but didn't pick up a guitar until his sophomore year. He spent his free time watching YouTube videos and quickly learned the basics, then picked up chords and songs.
Both played at Banua — separately and together — in front of students and family members. Their emotions leading up to the performance were very different.
"My sister was in it when she went to Fenwick, but I was too afraid," Doherty said. "But I figured, 'It's my senior year, why not try it?' I thought I was going to be nervous when I got out there but I wasn't. I think tennis kind of helped because I was used to those pressure situations."
"I didn't have the same feelings as Mike," Sagastume said. "I wasn't loose or anything. When I went up there I could barely breathe and I was just thinking about what people would think. I felt like there was so much pressure."
The seniors realized they had pretty good chemistry on stage and got positive feedback from classmates. They started practicing in Sagastume's basement and now think they complement each other extremely well.

LG NAS Install Wizard 1.0.1208.2801
NAS systems are scalable storage solutions for small networks that allow access to data to all the connected workstations. It can prove useful in easily sharing files with other network computers.
Set up LG NAS systems
The LG NAS Install Wizard is exclusively dedicated to certain models of NAS devices manufactured by the popular LG company, giving users a helping hand in getting their new device ready. Created by LG itself, it is the most secure way to configure your new NAS system.
The wizard is very easy to use, making the setup procedure just a matter of pressing a few 'Next' buttons. It starts by verifying the connection status between your computer and the LG NAS device, enabling you to choose the network configuration type (with one or two routers). If you are using more than 3 routers, the configuration is more complicated, so it is advisable that you contact customer support.
Fast configuration
The application searched for the NAS device within the network, displaying a complete list of all the found items, along with their corresponding IP address, domain name, MAC address, subnet mask, gateway, primary and secondary DNS. Your computer and the NAS must be connected to the same router and you must configure the Windows Firewall to allow the connection.
The next steps enable you to configure the DDNS and the router properties and port forwarding settings, in order to allow remote access to the NAS web menu.
Secure way to install LG NAS devices
LG NAS Install Wizard is a simple utility dedicated to easily and quickly configuring a new LG NAS system, creating a powerful data storage system. And since it is created by the manufacturer itself, it can be considered the most reliable tool to accomplish this task.

If you're in America over the festive season, you may find yourself gagging for some quality U.K. telly to help […]
It is often said, and usually with a dose of light-hearted banter, that the British excel at the following things: […]
Cheryl Cole
In tribute to poor old Cheryl Cole, whose natural mode of expression seems to have caused so many furrowed brows among so many hopeful performers on the US X Factor that she had to be sent home in disgrace (if we're reading the tabloids correctly), here are five other regional accents which should have caused a similar reaction, and yet there are stars and shows who use them and seem to be able to make themselves heard right across the US of A.
1: Ricky Gervais
Now it's pretty clear that while Ricky has something of an accent, it's not an immediately placeable one; being part West Country burr and part London adenoidal whine. So while we know he comes from Reading, he could just have easily have picked it up in any number of satellite towns to some great metropolis or other. And for his role in The Office, having a relatively nondescript provincial accent helped flesh out the character of David Brent in a way which has proven to be startlingly effective. Since then, he's taken that same accent into every role he has played, and it has turned out to be no hindrance to his work whatsoever. Although sometimes he does talk quite slowly, when he wants to be sure that everyone can get whatever barb he is throwing out.
Look, here he is talking to Elmo (don't panic, these are outtakes, not actual Sesame Street footage).
2: London – Jason Statham
Oh we DO like a tough guy with a strong London accent, don't we? Someone who can say all of their lines without once unclenching their teeth, and who'd stitch you up like a kipper as soon as look at you. It wouldn't matter if Jason's voice got even more gruff and those glottal stops rained down like confetti, everyone can still tell what he is on about. Ironically, his accent in Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels was stronger than in his natural speaking voice, and that was a hit everywhere. Maybe Cheryl should look into doing some action flicks?
3: Gavin & Stacey
Technically, Welsh isn't so much an accent as the result of an entire nation — with their own language, thank you — being forcibly encouraged to learn English at the strongly-enforced whim of their oppressors. So to mock the accent for not being the Queen's English (which some people do) is just piling insult upon ancient injury. Plus, and this is where the whole anti-Cheryl argument falls down, the Welsh accent, no matter how strong, is among the most appealing in all of the English-speaking nations of the world. In fact, many companies deliberately place their call centres in Wales and Scotland, and Cheryl's native Newcastle, because people react more warmly to those accents than they do those of Birmingham or London.
PS: To characterise the accent of an entire nation as if it is essentially one sound is only going to cause problems for anyone from that area, so to save aggro, can I just say that I'm using the world 'Welsh' to distinguish a group of accents from those which are definitely 'Not Welsh'. 'K?
4: Craig Ferguson
The Scottish accent has much of the ame deal as the Welsh, really. There are a LOT of regional variations and at times it's less an accent and more one language being spoken using the rhythms and inflections of another. Mike Myers likes to take his extraordinarily springy learned-from-his-dad Canadian Scots accent out for a stroll at every opportunity, and the accent of Groundskeeper Willie from The Simpsons is wrong more often than it is right. So, let's have a look at someone who does have a strong accent, but who clearly does not struggle to get his point across to the American public.
See also: Billy Connolly.
5: Ozzy Osbourne
And this is definitely the point at which Cheryl should be stamping her foot and demanding equal treatment (assuming the whole accent thing wasn't a collossal red herring in the middle of an even bigger publicity stunt, of course). Ozzy Osbourne is a man with a strong regional accent. His home city of Birmingham has left its mark on the way he speaks, but so has years of bad living, and he also suffers from a neurological condition called Parkin's Syndrome, which accounts for a lot of what people assume to be drug-related slurring.
And people LOVE Ozzy Osbourne. Not just because of his musical legacy either. The Osbournes was a top rated show in which he did not perform Black Sabbath or Ozzy Osbourne songs (much). Instead he talked to his family, he shouted at his family, and he cleaned up dog poo, while swearing. AND his wife was a reality TV talent show judge. If I was Cheryl, I'd be wearing an Ozzy T-shirt everywhere I went, until common sense prevailed and I got my job back.
As with all of these things, it's not really the sound of the accent itself which causes the problem, it's the weight of cultural prejudice that comes with it.
To illustrate this point, and end with a laugh, here's an excerpt from QI:
Fraser has been writing and broadcasting about music and popular culture for over 15 years, first at the Top of the Pops website, and most recently for the NME, Guardian and MSN. He also wrote BBC Radio 1's Chart Blog and reviews albums for BBC Radio 2.
He is Anglophenia's current resident Brit, blogging about British slang and running around the Mall taking snaps of the crowd at the Royal Wedding, as well as reigniting a childhood passion for classic Doctor Who and cramming as much music in as he can manage.
Fraser invites you to join him on Twitter: @csi_popmusic
So, I finally caved and bought an iPhone. What can I tell you, I had a coupon for a free […]

Platinum BerlitzTalk0
this wiki
| Platinum Berlitz
12 (DP Arc)
|Twinleaf Town
|Yanase Berlitz, Sir Berlitz
|Pokémon Trainer and Pokémon Coordinator
|First Appearance:
Pokémon Adventures
Platinum Berlitz (also known as Platina) is a Pokedex Holder in the Pokémon Adventures Manga. Her Pokémon are Empoleon, Rapidash, Lopunny, Froslass, Cherrim and Pachirisu. At the beginning, Dia and Pearl thought she was their tour guide, with Dia taking an early interest in her and Pearl getting a little annoyed and perplexed regarding her attitude.
Just like most characters in the manga they are based on the playable characters. Platinum is based on the female character of Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon Diamond, and Pokémon Pearl; Dawn or Hikari.
Diamond & Pearl Chapter
Prior to starting her Pokemon journey, Platinum was born into the Berlitz family, well known for their wealth and generations of scholars. Due to this fame, she became well acquainted with Professor Rowan. This led to her possession of the Pokedex and the three Sinnoh starters, which she was meant to provide her bodyguards. The original purpose of her Pokemon journey was to continue the Berlitz family tradition, by traveling to Mt. Coronet and obtaining a specific material used in creating the Berlitz crest.
She didn't know that Dia and Pearl weren't her bodyguards and she thought about it when she learned the truth but she still kept the two of them because of their friendship. She is being taught by Diamond and Pearl how to battle.
Whenever she is battling a Gym Leader, Diamond and Pearl give her some tips. She met Cynthia while training for her battle with Gardenia. At late chapters, she swears to defeat Team Galactic's plans and forgiving Dia and Pearl for lying.

On hand
- She is both a Trainer and a Coordinator.
- The reason she got into battles is because of her Piplup.
- Her surname is Berlitz. Hence she is known as Lady Platinum Berlitz.
- She is also one of the three Dexholders to have a known surname.
- Her mother is named Yanase Berlitz.
- She shows signs of enthusiasm at trying anything new. For instance, her excitement at going down in a coal mine on a tour resulted in her getting attacked by Kricketot.
- Has a naivety about the Pokémon world and its customs. In example, she had never heard of Gym Battles or Pokémon Contests until her journey.
- Platinum didn't know how to ride a bike until Dia and Pearl taught her how.
- Platinum does seem to giggle at Diamond and Pearl's skits, but every time Pearl points out that she giggled, Platinum denies it.

A pathetic India paid the price for focussing more on James Anderson incident than on their game, former captain Michael Vaughan said while British media termed India�s capitulation in the fourth Test as �spineless�.
Former England skipper Vaughan said �India were simply embarrassing� as they did not have the mental strength or character to fight under pressure.
�They have been brought up facing orthodox off spin but they made it look as though Moeen Ali was bowling hand grenades and folded abysmally. They just gave up under pressure, they threw in the towel. For the past two weeks it looks to me as if India have been fighting too many battles off the pitch and have forgotten to fight on it,� Vaughan wrote in his column for �Daily Telegraph�.
�They got embroiled in the James Anderson case and were so bent on getting him banned that they took their eye off the cricket. England did not produce magic deliveries; it was poor batting, with India lacking the mental strength or character to fight through the situation.�
Vaughan said Virat Kohli�s failure has hurt India badly.
�India are battling many problems now. Look at Virat Kohli. His technique is all over the place. James Anderson has bowled 30 balls at him, he has scored seven runs and lost his wicket four times. That is remarkable. It is not easy being touted as the next Sachin Tendulkar. Clearly for him to become a world-renowned player he has to score more runs overseas, but I have been amazed at how fragile he looks going to the crease.�
Former Test captain Ian Botham said the hosts were dominant side through the match and expected them to win the series.
�You could call it a toss to tape win, because at no stage did India ever look like overtaking England in this match. On every day, in every session and in every department England were stronger than India and I expect to see them pull away further over the rest of the series,� Botham wrote in his column for �Mirror�.
Botham was all praise for England�s transformation.
�From what was one of the worst performances I�ve ever seen from an England team at Lord�s to one of the best in recent memory. The win at the Ageas Bowl was simply superb right from the off.�
The Daily Mail was scathing in its criticism of India�s performance.
�And what a spineless, pathetic display from an India side

Game developer David Braben creates a USB stick PC for $25
Printable View
Interesting good have many uses in control and monitoring or digital signage applications ;)
He's promoting it as being able to be given to students so that they can use it at school to learn more about programming etc... but it needs hdmi tv/monitor to hook it up to that's going to be an issue.
Mini displayport may have been better so that adaptors could be used to connect them to a vga or dvi monitor.
I wonder how well this will run Windows 8? :)
It's a shame it's only got 128MB RAM.
Despite having an engineer's unlovely sweeping generalised opinion of the types Comp Sci degrees spit out it's not at all difficult to see where he's coming from. But would this gadget do much to solve the problem, not least the school/teacher interest and/or ability though? A VM of anything-you-fancy has long been capable of filling the "kid can play with this to destruction" space, but HDMI implies a key point is that unlike a VM they can (mostly) all do this at home so perhaps there's a little something there.
There's an irony in all this: Can't swear it works for all of them but watch most kids grow up and early on they are wonderfully inventive and creative, then over time society but **especially school** knocks it out of them - growing up is largely about conforming, doing exactly what you're told in the "right" way and so on and so forth. May have changed a bit, but the idea going back at least 50 years is that most of the damage is done by the time a child is around seven years old.
Micro-SD Card Slot Abused As VGA-Port - Slashdot
Hardware spec for the pi is not set in stone.
David Braben was one half of the team who developed Elite in the early 80's, and as such is on my personal 'Gods' list!
Mine too, although we don't really need a device like this to teach kids to program - we all have lots of PCs in schools already where we can install programming languages (Beebem here!) or allow USB Linux sticks to be used under supervision.
We need time in the timetable and competent teachers.
Doesn't say when he's bringing out an updated version of 'Frontier - First Encounters'...........maybe he's not going to. :(
Want Frontier! Want Frontier!
It plays ok on XP, but the gfx is so carp, and I couldn't get any of the sound to work. Maybe he's going to bring out a *nix version to go on his USB PC for $25.
Just noticed this on their blog...

Fourth in last month's QIPCO 1000 Guineas, Manderley appreciated a drop in grade to break her maiden tag at Nottingham.
Richard Hannon's filly, who is owned by Julie Wood, made a bold bid from the front as a 100-1 chance for the Newmarket Classic before fading in the final furlong.
Sent off the 1-3 favourite under Richard Hughes for the Caribbean Party Night Saturday 5th July Maiden Fillies' Stakes, she beat Pat Shanahan's Irish raider Maid Of The Glens by half a length.
"When she got to the bushes (at Newmarket) she was still there and others were off the bridle, and to carry on for fourth was brilliant," Wood told Racing UK.
"If you look at her last three runs she was improving all the time.
"We didn't enter in the early-closing races at Ascot as we didn't know what she was.
"We'll miss Ascot but we'll look at the calendar and place her. Hopefully she can go back up to black type level."

NEW YORK - Had it continued on its own, The Wall Street Journal would have faced a brutal slump in print advertising that is plaguing the newspaper industry as well as fierce competition in the market for delivering business news.
Now that it's part of Rupert Murdoch's media empire, Journal publisher Dow Jones & Co. will have access to several things it would have had a tougher time finding alone: capital to invest in new digital distribution channels; ready access to multiple media platforms and more muscle to compete against rivals at home and abroad.
Many had opposed the deal, both within Dow Jones and outside.
Numerous people posting on a discussion board on www.WSJ.com promised to cancel their subscriptions, and Leslie Hill, a member of Dow Jones' controlling shareholder group, the Bancroft family, quit the company's board in protest.
In her resignation letter, Hill said that while the "short term financial benefit is difficult to deny," she also believed that it was "not enough to outweigh the potential ramifications of the loss of an independent global news organization with unmatched credibility and integrity."
At the same time, senior Dow Jones executives acknowledged the tough road the company would have had to slog had it elected to remain a standalone entity and the new opportunities the company has for expansion under Murdoch.
Despite its tremendous clout in the business world, Dow Jones remains a relatively small company in a media landscape that is increasingly dominated by far larger companies, with just $1.8 billion in revenues last year.
Dow Jones CEO Richard Zannino told his staff in an all-points memo Wednesday that joining up with News Corp. meant greater opportunities to expand.
"With nearly $30 billion in annual revenue, News Corp. has the money — and the intention — to invest in our business on a scale we can't," Zannino said.
Even after paying the $5 billion for Dow Jones, Murdoch has said he plans to invest even more in building up the paper's Washington coverage at home — where it will compete even more fiercely with The New York Times for national readers and advertisers — as well as overseas, where it goes head-to-head with Pearson PLC's Financial Times.
The global reach of News Corp. will also help the Journal's news find new readers and advertisers in other media at home and abroad.
Murdoch is already planning to launch a business-themed cable news channel in the fall, but the opportunities for using the powerful Dow Jones and Wall Street Journal brand names go far beyond that.
Dow Jones is currently in an exclusive deal to share news and content with General Electric Co.'s CNBC cable news channel through 2012, but clearly Murdoch is already thinking well past that point, and is sure to try to end that contract early.
At home, news from the Journal as well as other Dow Jones properties including Dow Jones Newswires, the financial weekly Barron's, and Smart-Money magazine — co-owned with Hearst Corp. — could easily find new outlets for viewers and advertisers on a variety of properties in the News Corp. media family, including the Fox broadcast network or Fox News Channel.
Murdoch also is a major proponent of delivering news and entertainment online, as seen by his acquisition of social-networking site MySpace, which has already paid major financial rewards.

Worst weirdest was a person that drank a cup of abrasive substance that wasn't supposed to be drank. Can't tell ya any more than that without violating HIPPA. Needless to say it wasn't pretty and that person is really messed up for life.
Another weird injury I saw once upon a time, a kid came in with a fishing lure stuck to his head. When he first walked up I thought it was something coming out of his head! (I was a registrar in the ER then.)
- 0Oct 20, '12 by Beek74Most ridiculous thing I ever had to come to the ER for. I had surgery, and got a wound infection. I was d/ced on a Friday evening. I left the unit and went to the grocery store to grab a few things with my mom before heading home. Suddenly I notice my JP bulb is open. The little tab that closes it and provides the suction has come off. I tried everything. I tried taping it up, went to CVS and asked the pharmacist if they carried them, called the unit I'd left only an hour ago. They all said go to the ER. I felt so stupid, but with the open drain leading into my body, just over a wound infection, and thinking about 2 days of bloody drainage getting on my clothes and sheets, I didn't know what was the best choice. So back to the ER. I was hoping they could just get me a new bulb and I could leave in a decent amount of time. Instead I was there 6 hours, had to be seen by a resident and a surgeon and have a whole exam even though I felt fine. I could not believe there was no better way to get a new JP bulb. If the thing had broken 2 hours earlier, it would have been a 5 minute issue.

Is it OK if I just walk around the exam room? - I feel a little better that way." Sure, I place his wide-open saline IV on a rolling pole, and he starts walking around.
Go out to the waiting room to get the wife. Tell her, "He's pretty miserable, as soon as the ultrasound guy gets here... blah, blah blah."
She says, "You know, ever since the doctor told him he had that A..... A.... Aortic something-or-other- he's been such a baby!"
"Aneurysm?" says I, warily.

We know all too well about the "dog days of summer" around here. You know — those late-summer weeks when everyone and everything seems to annoy you, brought on mostly by the searing heat. I call it air-conditioned cabin fever.
In John Brady's 1813 "Clavis Calendarium," he called the dog days as a time "when the seas boiled, wine turned sour, dogs grew mad, and all creatures became languid, causing to man burning fevers, hysterics and (frenzies)."
Thankfully, we have a cure for such maladies: cold beer. Sometimes it's just the thing to take the edge off the heat, the clamor of the kids, the boss. Here's a toast to that ice-cold Corona, a pinch of salt and a twist of lime.
But if you're going to pop just one or two, make it a good one. Numerous good pubs surround us. A few of my favorites include Rula Bula and Gordon Biersch in Tempe, BJ's Brewhouse in Chandler, and Sonora Brewhouse and George and Dragon in Phoenix. These hot spots either make their own beers or procure the best of the best.
And if you plan to have company over, or just want to keep a six- or 12-pack on hand at home, I have some thoughts there as well. Below are my six favorite beers of all time — a dream six-pack, if you will. All are widely available, and cost about $8 for six 12-ounce bottles.
Stella Artois: A lighter-style pilsner lager from Belgium and for my money, one of the most drinkable beers on the planet. I love this stuff. Many good restaurants and bars will also have Stella on tap. Refreshing on its own.
Tsingtao: The brewery was founded by German immigrants to China in the early 1900s and is reflected in the crisp, slightly malty flavor. Pure spring water from China's Laoshan region enhances its drinkability. Serve with spicy dishes.
Carta Blanca: Everyone thinks Corona when they consider Mexican beer, but Carta Blanca is my fave from south of the border. Carta Blanca is classified as a pilsner and tastes clean, light and refreshing. Whip up a batch of guacamole and chips and let the games begin.
Tecate Cerveza: We discovered this namesake border town years ago on the way to San Diego and fell in love with the beer. This is our "house" beer when guests come over. The beer is amber-colored and smooth. Pair with a frozen mug and a wedge of lime for ideal poolside refreshment.
Kilt Lifter: Yes, the Tempe classic from Four Peaks Brewing Co. is what I reach for when I want something more flavorful and powerful. The strong Scottish-style ale exudes malty-sweet goodness and a cool local vibe. Best to sip on-site at its Tempe or Scottsdale locations, but six-packs are available at retailers like AJ's Fine Foods.
Singha: A friend of mine in California turned me onto this premium lager from Thailand years ago while we dined on a curry dish. The full-bodied, barley malt lager with strong hoppy characteristics nicely countered the heat of the dish. I look for it every chance I can, at restaurants and to go.
Chill any of these beers down and take the edge off the last few "dog days" of summer. From Brady's description in "Clavis Calendarium," it sounds like he could have used a cold one.

My husband really loved this and kept raving over it. I thought it would need more seasonings but it was just fine for him. The fried apples were delicious with this. Thanks for the recipe. It made a great meal.
Easy to make, great taste, grilled very quickly, and the family, who usually won't eat pork unless it's bacon, loved it. Thanks for the simple recipe, all the ingredients were in most mostly bare cupboard.

The pro-competitive effect of campaign limits in non-majoritarian elections

We study a model of elections in non-majoritarian systems that captures the link between competition in policies and competition in campaign spending. We argue that the overall competitiveness of the political arena depends on both the endogenous number of parties contesting the election and the endogenous level of campaign spending. These two dimensions are linked together through their combined effect on the total equilibrium level of political rents. We illustrate the key insights of the model with an analysis of the competitive effects of campaign spending limits. We show that under some conditions spending caps can be pro-competitive, leading to an increase in the number of parties contesting the elections.

This season at least, less means more for NASCAR driver Sam Hornish Jr.
As in less races but more productivity.
Hornish is already three races into his seven-race Nationwide Series schedule with Joe Gibbs Racing and he has a victory and three top-five finishes to show for it.
Hornish will attempt to make it four consecutive top-fives in Saturday's Gardner Denver 200 at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis. (2:30 p.m., ABC).
Despite finishing second in the series standings at the end of last season, Hornish was left without a full-time ride at Team Penske. The part-time schedule with JGR – which has one of NASCAR's most successful Nationwide programs – was his best available option at the time.
"I just feel like the opportunities that I've been given this year, I'm really blessed to have those," said Hornish, a former IndyCar Series and Indianapolis 500 champion.
"I've gotten to do a little bit of testing and they've given me good cars. Everybody at Joe Gibbs Racing has really been super nice to me so far and I'm glad that we could come out and have another good day at Michigan."
Hornish, 34, decided long ago his future in racing would be in NASCAR and continues to work toward securing a full-time ride, preferably in the Sprint Cup Series.
"I'll be looking at a shot for a good Cup ride until I hang up my drivers' gloves," he said. "I enjoy my time with my wife and my family and if I'm going to be away from them, I want to be able to have an opportunity to win a race."
So far, mission accomplished this season.
Hornish finished fifth in his JGR debut at Talladega, Ala., won the race at Iowa last month and was runner-up to winner Paul Menard last weekend at Michigan.
The runs so far this season at JGR stand in start contrast to Hornish's Cup career, where he earned just three top-five finishes in 131 career starts since 2007. He led just 71 laps in his Cup career – he has already led 170 laps in three Nationwide races this season.
Hornish said he didn't regret his time in the Cup series with team owner Roger Penske and came to understand some distinct differences in how teams operate in IndyCar and NASCAR.
"There were things I could have done better in my first three seasons for Cup that I did for those guys. But you can be the best driver, but you have to have all the right pieces – the right crew chief, the right car chief, all the things," he said.
"The part that intrigues me the most about NASCAR racing versus anything else I've ever done is it requires you to have the right people around you. Yeah, you've got to be a good driver, but there's so many other pieces to the puzzle. You can't take care of them all yourself."
Hornish said his goal is to remain in NASCAR and hopefully obtain a full-time ride with a competitive team in Nationwide or Cup.
"That's where I want to be so I'm probably a little choosy at this point in my career," he said. "But I also know what my objectives are to go out there."

HP, Dell and IBM Team Up on Social Responsibility
Their new Electronics Industry Code of Conduct applies to all suppliers in the global supply chain, whether these suppliers sell electronics components or paper plates, for instance.
"These standards are for the entire extended supply basenot just to our contract suppliers, but to the suppliers below them," Mike Fawkes, senior vice president of operations at Hewlett-Packard Co., said in an interview with eWEEK.com.
Specific areas covered by the code of conduct include labor and employment practices, ethics, environmental protection, and health and safety. For example, the code places universal bans on child labor and employment discrimination, regardless of where on the globe a suppliers facilities are located.
Aside from HP, Dell Inc. and IBM, other collaborators on the new social responsibility standard included electronics suppliers Flextronics, Jabil, Sanmina SCI, Celestica and Solectronic.
A new California law will charge consumers $6 to $8 per computer monitor in an effort to step up CRT recycling. Click here to read more.
Before the creation of the standard, HP, Dell and IBM had each used their own conduct codes and verification and enforcement procedures with their respective supplier bases.
"We [at HP] have performed at least 100 [verification] audits over the past year, and we will continue to expand on those audits," Fawkes told eWEEK.com.
HP plans to realign all of its processes and tools to the newly revised code by 2005, according to Fawkes.
Why did the vendors decide to set the standard? Using a common code around social responsibility issues will introduce efficiencies for all companies involved, Stan Litow, president of the IBM International Foundation and IBMs vice president of corporate community relations, said in an interview with eWEEK.com.
"This also gives us an opportunity to convince our overall supply base that [social responsibility] is good business," he said.
HPs Fawkes pointed to what he called "the strength of the signal." Suppliers will listen, he said, "when you have major OEMs like HP, IBM and Dell all using the same criteria."

Interactions in the Site of Acetylcholinesterase
Principal Investigator: Terrone Rosenberry
Affiliation: Mayo Clinic
Country: USA
Abstract: Acetyicholinesterase (AChE) terminates synaptic transmission at cholinergic synapses by hydrolyzing the neurotransmitter acetyicholine. We will focus on molecular mechanisms responsible for the high catalytic efficiency of AChE. Such information may allow the design of new classes of drugs to protect against organophosphate toxicity. The structure of AChE reveals an active site gorge with two sites of ligand interaction separated by 12-15 A: an acylation site (or A site) at the base of the gorge, and a peripheral site (or P site) at its mouth. We discovered that substrates or inhibitors that bind to the P site of AChE impose a steric blockade on ligand entry to and exit from the A site. We now find that ligand binding to the P site also increases the acylation rate constant for a substrate bound to the A site, while binding of the neurotoxin fasciculin to the P site results in a dramatic decrease in these acylation rate constants. We will test a mechanistic model involving the P and A sites that can account for these features. Our first aim examines thioflavin T, whose fluorescence is enhanced when it is bound to the P site and partially quenched when ligands bind to the A site to form a ternary complex, indicating a local conformational change. We will pursue crystal structure determinations of the AChE-thioflavin T complex with collaborators and use thioflavin T binding and fluorescence to monitor acceleration of organophosphorylation rate constants with wild type and mutant AChEs. In a new second aim, we will modify the SH groups of mutants E81C and E84C with a solvent-sensitive fluorophore and examine interactions with the P and A sites. We will ask whether ligand binding to the P site alone is sufficient to induce conformational movement of the peptide loop that contains these residues. Our third aim is to determine whether substrates closely analogous to acetyicholine can accelerate acylation reactions by binding to the P site. We will test our kinetic model by comparing predicted and measured P site substrate affinities for acetylthiocholine and m-(trimethylammonio)acetanilide in wild type, W86F and W86A AChEs. Our fourth aim is to identify the AChE residues through which fasciculin exerts an inhibitory conformational effect on the A site. Our hypothesis, that a segment of an Omega-loop (residues 72 to 87) is involved in transducing this effect, is supported by data showing loss of much of the inhibitory effect with the D74G and W86F mutants. To test this hypothesis further, we will construct additional site-specific AChE mutants as well as fasciculin mutants and determine whether these residues can be altered to retain inhibition of organophosphorylation but decrease inhibition of substrate hydrolysis.

Honey & Roses: Skin Care You Could Just Eat Up
The following is a guest post from our friends at The Chalkboard by Pressed Juicery.
At some point in your childhood you were likely tempted to bite right in to your watermelon chapstick or take just a sip of that strawberry-scented bubble bath. Although we don't recommend this behavior and hope your parents kept a watchful eye, the impulse remains with this round-up of crave-worthy beauty products! We may have come a long way from grape-scented lip gloss, but why not keep your youthful glow with grape-infused skin serum instead? These 5 appetite-inspiring skin care lines will give a delicious lift to your daily routine.
This rosewater mist is, frankly, life-changing. If you're one to love the scent of roses, there is little on the skincare market with a truer, more delightful rose scent than Jurlique. Soothing and restorative, this mist is pure heaven for the skin.
Try not to stick a spoon in this whipped body butter. Josie Maran has created this light and velvety version of her argan oil base that melts into the skin with a light and true apricot scent. Perfect for every season.
Apivita has created an intense line of bee product-based skin care that we absolutely love. Powerful ingredients honey and royal jelly work wonders on the delicate skin surrounding the eyes, while myrrh and seaweed make this eye cream an intensely therapeutic formula
The French brand, Caudalie, bases their entire line on vineyard-sourced nutrition for the skin. Patented Viniferine is 62 times more effective than Vitamin C and boosts the complexion's radiance while diminishing uneven skin tone.
The Ginger People have expanded their ginger-focused brand to include spice-infused skincare. The distinct benefits of ginger are joined here with tamanu, cocoa, and shea butter oils for the ultimate in restorative balms. Ginger's natural anti-inflammatory properties work wonders on post-workout soreness.

That is just the really ****** up gay people. I would assume that most gay people are quite normal but are just attracted to the same sex.

Re: $25,000 Surprise, AZ (USA) 2013 | Feb 18 (Winner: Tara Moore)
I was at the match today - I strung the players racquets this week.
Playing conditions were not ideal today. No rain, but VERY windy. Some shots bounced twice before they reached the baseline, on normal topspin groundstrokes. Tara managed playing in the wind a bit better. That, and her forehand was dialed in, which was an impressive shot for someone her size. Chirico's movement left a little to be desired. She wasn't moving up to some shots as well as she could have - didn't take a lot of those tiny positional steps to get into a better hitting position. She has a bright future though for someone only 16 yrs old.
