There's something extra special about playing music when you have an instrument that perfectly represents your own tastes and style. An easy way to do this is by personalizing your instrument with various accessories, or upgrading it with new parts. Within this selection of options, you'll find a massive range of accessories to give your fretted instrument a distinctive flair, and make your overall playing experience even more enjoyable.
Whether you're a heavy metal shredder who's searching for an ideal set of humbuckers, a funk bassist who needs a new replacement neck, or an amateur guitarist who simply wants a cool-looking strap, this catalog of fretted instrument accessories has something for everyone. In fact, well-known companies such as Dunlop, Fender, and Kyser are all here, and each take great pride ensuring that everything they design has been crafted with your musical desires in mind.
So what kind of customizations are you thinking of? If a new pickguard is on your mind, check out EMG's DG20 David Gilmour Pre-Wired pickguard/pickup set. Featuring three SA single-coil pickups, wired with an EXG guitar expander, an SPC presence control and master volume, this is the same EMG system that David used with Pink Floyd on his main red Strat. By increasing the bass and treble while reducing the mids, this pickguard/pickup set is incredible for chord definition at higher volumes. For acoustic guitarists, this section also offers an assortment of humidifiers for fretted instruments, and the Oasis OH-1 original guitar humidifier is a popular choice. Constructed from a specifically designed fabric that lets water vapor pass right through it, Oasis humidifiers fit right between the strings of your instrument, and once positioned in the soundhole, the stabilizing bar lies across your strings to ensure that the weight distribution is even.
From slides, capos and strap locks to tremolo bridges, picks and pickguards, there's no end in sight to the amount of ways you can customize and personalize your fretted instrument. It's not only a fulfilling hobby to get involved in, but it's also a sure-fire way to make you stand out from the pack and make your talents fully noticed.

Do these two options do anything bad when they're not supposed to be enabled and they are enabled? is there any example of what exactly they do, or if we need them.
- My ipsec gateway is a VPC instance that is behind a NAT (10.0.10.0/24)
- I want to have a networking sharing machine that is behind a NAT (192.168.10.0/24).
- My road warriors may also be behind a NAT when they dial in.
Does this mean on the network-share<->gw, I use
leftfirewall, and
rightfirewall? And, on the roadwarrior I use only
leftfirewall. I'm confused and I don't see any docs about when to use these things. All the docs say is that the create the iptables commands that I wouldn't understand if the docs were more descriptive, which they're not.
I'm using split-tunneling.

Prof Swinburn, professor of population nutrition and global
health at the University of Auckland, said his only surprise
from the new book Dirty Politics is that the National
Party appeared to be deploying the same tactics as the
multinational firms that push tobacco, junk food and alcohol.
Shortly after arriving in Dunedin yesterday, Prof Swinburn
was asked for comment on Nicky Hager's book in which it is
claimed there are commercial blog posts published on the
Whale Oil blog.
The Whale Oil blog's criticism of public health advocates,
who are frequently termed ''troughers'', was ''toxic
rubbish'', Prof Swinburn said.
University of Otago health systems authority Prof Robin
Gauld, who was criticised last November in a Whale Oil post
for suggesting New Zealand should consider following the
United States in banning trans fats, said he thought of such
blogs as ''Fox News'' and did not let them interfere with his
role as a critic and conscience of society.
The post accused Prof Gauld of having little consideration
for New Zealand's economy.
Unlike professors Gauld and Swinburn, University of Otago
Christchurch National Addiction Centre director Prof Doug
Sellman was included in Dirty Politics as having been
the subject of a commercial post published on the blog.
Last week he said he had not had time to read the book, and
yesterday he could not be contacted.
Contacted for comment, the University of Otago released a
short statement.
''With the stream of claims and counter-claims about the book
it is currently difficult to determine what is factual and
what are value judgements.
"If there is a case the university will work with staff,'' a
university spokeswoman said.
Prof Swinburn is speaking at Otago Museum as part of the 10th
anniversary celebrations of Edgar Diabetes and Obesity
His talk will examine the role of research in public health
policy-making, and the politics it involves.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

Defining a workflow in Content Services
Jun 8, 2008 4:24 PM
Maybe this question would seem too theorical or naib but (reading OCS documentation) I can't seem to fully understand the functionality of workflow in Content Services besides that letting one control document operations approval.
I have certain documental life cycle case and i don't know how to apply pre-defined workflows in a useful way, for example: "The secretary scans a petition letter from a client and load it to certain Library in Content Services; she then notifies the manager and he assigns the petition to a particular executive or worker (the document remains locked). The worker gives a solution to the petition and uploads a new document with his findings for the manager to approve it. Until approval the findings document remains locked."
I've noticed that there are 2 predefined workflows (Parallel and Serial approval) for almost all operations and one can activate 1 of those workflows for any or all of those operations for 1 Library, but i have two doubts about it:
1. Looking at the CS roles (that define what operations can a person do) I can't avoid noticing that there are some operations missing in the list of operations one can configure a workflow for. For example: document "Review".
2. There's no way to connect those workflows in a chronological manner for that same library. I should control the upload of the document, then it's editing or review, then it's deletion.. etc. but one operation would depend on another to start.
Should I use OCS Workspaces to achieve this chronological control of events? or perhaps designing a specific flow with BPEL would be the solution?
Any information or hint on this would be very appreciated.

We used to love this plugin, but a few months ago it stopped fully processing the sales at Authorize.net.
The customers money was collected, but users were left hanging at a payment page, and were not returned to the website for a "thank you" page, download page, etc.
The "resolution" was that Eshop has abandoned support for Authorize.net and that was enough to make us abandon this plugin on 9 websites.

Back in the olden days when I was pregnant— and ok, it was just 4 years ago— if you wanted to find out your baby's gender you did so within the sterile walls of the ultrasound room.
Times have changed!
These days, parents-to-be are putting a more celebratory spin on the issue with "gender reveal parties" or adorable gender announcements sent to family and friends.
I've rounded up some of my favorite ways to share the news!
A Fun Way to Share the News!
DisneyBaby's own Erin Loechner and her hubby shared their happy news with their friends in this adorable gender reveal photo. Don't you LOVE this?
Design for Mankind
What's It Going To Be?
The question mark is the theme of this party. From cake pops to cake toppers, one thing's NOT in question: that your guests will love it!

What Will the Stork Bring?
We're loving this festive stork pinata. It's sure to be the hit of the party with the younger crew.
$48 at Pinata Paradise
Cast Your Vote
Party guests cast their votes before the big reveal. This makes a great way to decorate for the party too.
Dreamers Joy
Little Bow or Little Beau?
If you're hosting a gender reveal bash, why not let your guests choose a water bottle that reflects their guess? These labels from Etsy are so cute!
$8 at Grey Skies Blue
Felt Fortune Cookies
This is a great way to tell the happy news to a more intimate gathering of family. Imagine their surprise when they find pink or blue treats inside!

Charlestown, N.H., woman lies about friend's deathJanuary 12,2013BELLOWS FALLS — A Charlestown, N.H., woman was arrested for allegedly lying about a man's death.
Luke Van Ranst, 28, of Charlestown, N.H., called Julene Alva, 28, the day he died Dec. 4.
According to Alva, Van Ranst called for a ride and when Alva and her friend arrived, they found him collapsed in a New Hampshire parking lot.
Alva said she did not know how he died but autopsy results later confirmed it was a drug and alcohol overdose.
Alva and her friend recanted their story and admitted that Van Ranst was part of a group that obtained, used and transported a significant quantity of drugs from Massachusetts into Vermont.
Alva will be arraigned in criminal court in Brattleboro on Feb. 26.MORE IN This Just In

Make organization easy with the ADC® Nurse Combo Plus Pocket Pal III™ Kit. Plenty of slots and securing snap loops keep your most commonly used instruments in place.
I like that it comes with everything that every nurse needs. The stethoscope isn't of the highest quality, but it's great for the price you pay!
Nothing amazing but for a first year student it does the trick. They packaged it very well - you could throw the box off a building and the amount of padding they stuffed in there would keep it safe. Shipped fairly quickly.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Time Timer is an extraordinarily easy-to-use, customizable timer app to help kids or adults with productivity, efficiency, and focus. Simply select a mode (depending upon the amount of time needed and how focused the person needs to be on the timer), then type in a name for the timer's purpose, set the settings, and the timer is ready to go. Up to four timers can be saved at once.
What kids can learn
- motivation
- time management
- working efficiently
Emotional Development
- handling stress
Engagement, Approach, Support
Timing may engage some kids more deeply in tasks, while it may be distracting and stressful to others. The interface is tidy and clean, so kids can use it with ease.
While kids time each other or experiment with timed tasks, they'll be gaining a deeper understanding of time and how it's used in the real world. Choosing customized icons and settings should be fun and empowering as well.
An excellent step-by-step help section and good online videos explain both the setup process and the many uses for this app.

What's it about?
Simply tap "Add Timer" to create a new timer (check that awake mode is on in your device's settings so the timer doesn't shut off), then a stopwatch-style timer appears. Swipe around to set the desired time, name the timer, and adjust the mode and settings. There are many options including sound of the timer when it's complete, number of plays, and color.
Is it any good?
Has your kid ever grumbled when asked to do something, then changed their response to excitement when you add, "I'll time you"? Now you can time them doing all sorts of things -- homework, reading, time-outs between siblings, bedtime routine -- with this practical, useful tool that can help adults and kids with time management. Once users create their timer(s), the app runs very smoothly. It's quite self-explanatory, and there are a number of prompts for new users. Just make sure your device's settings are on "awake" mode, so it doesn't enter sleep mode and that battery life isn't low, which could cause it to shut down. If you or your kid needs help staying on task, TIME TIMER could become one of those essential apps you use multiple times a day.
Families can talk about...
Encourage your kids to use Time Timer during study sessions to help them stay focused and take breaks at appropriate intervals (15 to 30 minutes is often recommended).
To model behavior, consider using this app yourself during tasks that you find less than fun or in which you need to become more efficient.

EUIJEONGBU, South Korea, March 11 (Yonhap) -- A local court on Monday granted prosecutors' request for an arrest warrant for a professional basketball head coach under match-fixing suspicions.
The district court here in Euijeongbu in Gyeonggi Province, north of Seoul, issued the warrant to detain Kang Dong-hee, the head coach of the Dongbu Promy in the Korean Basketball League (KBL), on charges of violating laws governing national sports promotion. He is the first active coach of a South Korea pro sports team to face match-rigging allegations.
Last week, prosecutors summoned Kang for nearly 12 hours of questioning. They believe Kang took some 40 million won (US$36,720) from two gambling brokers on four occasions during the 2010-2011 season in the KBL. Kang has been the head coach of the Promy since the 2009-2010 season.
Kang has denied all fixing allegations surrounding him.
On Feb. 28, prosecutors arrested a broker, surnamed Choi, for allegedly giving Kang cash to fix games. Then on Wednesday this week, they arrested a second broker, a former professional baseball player surnamed Cho, on the same charges.
Prosecutors said last Friday they will expand their investigation into a fourth person who allegedly supplied the two brokers with cash. The person, whose name was withheld, is currently serving time in prison for his role in a major match-fixing scandal in South Korean pro football in 2011. He had been convicted of starting an illegal sports betting site and paying six active pro football players cash in exchange for fixing games.
If convicted, Kang, 46, faces up to five years in jail or up to 50 million won in fines.
Kang coached his team in a KBL game last Wednesday, a day before facing prosecutors' questions. His assistant, Kim Young-man, took over on the bench last Saturday, and Dongbu has said Kim will coach the team for the remaining three games of the ongoing season.
Kang has said he had personal ties with Choi, one of the arrested brokers, but claimed he'd never taken any money from him.
Kang served as Dongbu's assistant coach from 2005 to 2009, and became the team's head coach before the 2009-2010 season. The team has finished second in the league twice on Kang's watch. Last year, Dongbu established new KBL records for most wins in a season with 44 and most consecutive victories with 16.
Dubbed "Wizard on the Court," Kang is also regarded as one of South Korea's greatest point guards, dating back to the late 1980s and the early 1990s, before the launch of the professional league. He was the MVP in the inaugural KBL season in 1997 and led the league in assists four times.
The KBL is the latest pro sports league in South Korea to be hit with a match-fixing scandal, following the leagues for football, baseball and volleyball.
Han Sun-kyo, commissioner of the KBL, has said the league will also hand out a stiff penalty, possibly a lifetime ban, if Kang is found guilty.
In earlier match-fixing cases in other sports, players, active or retired, were found to have taken cash from brokers making their bets on illegal sports gambling Web sites.
These sites offer proposition bets, or "prop bets." They place odds on seemingly inconsequential plays, such as the number of free throws made in the first quarter of a basketball game, often with no cap on the amount of wager. It's considered easier for gamblers to fix such minute plays.
The only legal form of sports betting in South Korea is through buying Sports Toto lottery tickets. Sports Toto offers odds on wins, ties, losses and the combined scores between teams. A bettor can only wager 100,000 won per ticket.

MEXICO CITY A judge on Monday ruled there was enough evidence to prosecute the charismatic former boss of Mexico's teachers' union for allegedly embezzling around $200 million in union funds, and ordered her to remain in jail ahead of her trial.
Alejandro Caballero Vertiz, Mexico city's sixth federal court judge, said in a statement on Monday night that evidence of misuse of funds by Elba Esther Gordillo, 68, was strong enough to merit trial and continued incarceration.
"The evidence considered so far is sufficient," he said in a statement, adding Gordillo and her associates "allegedly transferred money from various bank accounts in the name of the National Union of Education Workers to personal accounts between 2009 and 2012."
Gordillo faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted. Under Mexican law, she could apply for a move from jail to house arrest when she turns 70.
Gordillo has publicly denied the allegations of corruption leveled against her in previous interviews, and said in 2002 her wealth came from an inheritance from a grandfather.
One of her lawyers declined to comment to Reuters on Monday.
Gordillo, called "La maestra" or the teacher, was arrested on Tuesday a day after President Enrique Pena Nieto signed a new law aimed at jumpstarting Mexico's flagging education system by breaking the union's stranglehold over teacher hiring.
She is accused of using ill-gotten funds to pay for millions of dollars worth of U.S. property, luxury goods, designer clothes, works of art and plastic surgery, though the government said she declared annual income of just above $100,000 between 2009-2012.
Pena Nieto has pledged to put an end to the corruption that long plagued the reputation of his ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI.
Political analysts view the move as a warning shot to any corrupt union bosses or politicians.
But it has also raised fears the PRI could be returning to a past practice of cracking down on dissent as it seeks to push through a raft of economic reforms, from a revamp of state-owned oil giant Pemex to a tax overhaul.
Appointed by President Carlos Salinas in 1989 after an impoverished childhood in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, Gordillo, an untrained teacher, rose through the union ranks to become one of the most powerful women in Mexico.
A former grandee of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, she became more vulnerable after splitting with the PRI ahead of the 2006 presidential election, when the party suffered a resounding defeat.
Both the teachers' union and her small party, the New Alliance, have kept a distance since Gordillo's surprise arrest last week.

New Super Mario Bros. U trailer celebrates Australian launch
The Wii U released in Australia last night (and in Europe, several hours more pertinently) and that means plenty of happy Mario fans are settling down this weekend with New Super Mario Bros. U. It's the first classic Mario game to launch alongside a Nintendo console in many years, so take a look at the release trailer and remember precisely why the cheerful plumber team drives hardware sales through the roof every single time.
New Super Mario Bros. U uses the Wii U's GamePad in a rather ingenious way; when jumping, you can give it a little shake for extra height. Try it one or twice and you'll be sold on motion controls forever.

Genetic Engineering in Plants
Genetic engineering is an effective way to increase crop yield and ward off diseases or insects that kill crops. Genetically modified plants are already used by farmers in many places, and a reason for their widespread use may be the ease of creating genetically altered plants.
Most plants are totipotent, meaning an entire plant can grow from a single cell (Peters). Scientists can isolate a plant cell and introduce specific enzymes to the plant cell (Peters). These enzymes then digest the cell wall of the plant cell, creating a protoplast (Peters). Without a cell wall, manipulation of cellular DNA becomes much easier (Peters). Scientists can, through various methods, introduce modified DNA into the plant genome (Peters). As the protoplast re-grows and divides, the modified DNA will be transferred to every cell in the new plant (Peters).
|The Ti plasmid. Source: http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/file.php/2808/S250_1_004i.jpg
The Ti plasmidOne metho d used to genetically engineer plants makes use of the Ti plasmid, found naturally in Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Naturally, Agrobacterium tumefaciens infections are trig gered by the wound response molecules, such as acetosynringone (Thomson). The release of these molecules leads to the virulence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Thomson). Agrobacterium tumefaciens injects the Ti plasmid into plant cells' DNA, and then causes the growth of a crown gall (a tumor) (Thomson). The section of the plasmid that enters plant cells is called T DNA, and is about 30,000 base pairs long. The tumor-inducing region of the plasmid, called the onc gene, codes for plant growth hormones which cause plant cell proliferation and a resulting tumor (Thomson). The onc gene also codes for some derivatives of arginine (nopaline, octopine), which help the bacteria grow (Thomson). The bacterial interaction in this situation is called genetic colonization; by causing the tumor, the bacteria also provide a means of supporting themselves (Thomson).
The Ti plasmid as a vector for gene delivery
The genetic sequence is designed to contain the targeted gene and some complementary bases to the sticky ends of the cut plasmid (Thomson). The onc gene region present in the T DNA is deleted and replaced by the foreign gene and a marker gene like, antibiotic resistance (Thomson).
This plasmid is reintroduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and plant protoplasts are exposed to the bacteria (Thomson). Agrobacterium tumefaciens infect the protoplasts and insert the gene of interest from the Ti plasmid into the cellular DNA (Thomson). This protoplast will then replicate to form a genetically engineered plant (Thomson).
Using cells with cell walls, DNA from the Ti plasmid can still enter dicotyledonous plants (Thomson). In this technique, small pieces of a leaf will be cut and grown in culture with the Agrobacterium tumefaciens which has the modified Ti plasmid (Thomson). Cuts in leaves trigger the virulence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and the bacteria will then infect the plant cells (Thomson). The plant cells, once transformed, will then be placed in media with the toxin that the marker gene codes resistance against, and the surviving cells will be successfully transformed (Thomson).
A diagram of the genetic engineering process. Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=cell&part=A1360
After transformation, the cells are grown in a media under controlled conditions. The hormone auxin may be added, to initiate and maintain callus. Then the cytokinin hormones will be added to the medium to trigger shoot development. "Withdrawal of the cytokinin promotes root growth," and the plants will be allowed to grow in culture. When the plants have developed completely, they are planted in soil. In this fashion, genetically engineered plants will be made in a laboratory setting, and then implemented into the real world (Thomson).
The Ti plasmid is a highly effective method for genetic engineering because it infects a large variety of dicotyledonous plants, including carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, petunias, and cabbage (Peters). There are over 170,000 different species of dicotyledonous plants, so the action of Agrobacterium tumefaciens is highly efficient for genetic engineering (Peters). Many crops, however, are monocotyledonous. Staple crops including rice, wheat and corn cannot be infected by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, so other methods of genetic engineering are needed (Peters).
Genetic engineering in monocotyledonous plants- overcoming the limitations of the Ti vectorTechniques for monocot plants include microinjection, electroporation, and the "shotgun method". Microinjection is the process in which the Ti plasmid is directly injected into the protoplast using a fine needle ("Plant Genetic Engineering: Methodology"). In electroporation, "brief pulses of high voltage electricity…induce the formation of transient pores in the membrane of the host cell" ("Plant Genetic Engineering: Methodology"). These pores allow DNA to enter the plant cell ("Plant Genetic Engineering: Methodology"). In the "shotgun method", Helium is used to propel small bullets of gold and tungsten coated in DNA into the cell. The bullets are coated with both the targeted DNA, and marker DNA ("Plant Genetic Engineering: Methodology"). Some bullets go through the cell membrane, and into the cell. Some bullets may even enter chloroplasts or mitochondria ("Plant Genetic Engineering: Methodology"). Once the DNA is in the cell, it can join the cellular DNA ("Plant Genetic Engineering: Methodology"). The cells that were bombarded will be grown in a culture, and those expressing the marker gene will be identified as successful examples of this method ("Plant Genetic Engineering: Methodology"). These cells will then be grown into plants ("Genetic Engineering Methods").This method has become prevalent recently, and is applicable to almost all species of crops. It is used frequently in rice, a major grain source in the world ("Plant Genetic Engineering: Methodology").
Overcoming the potential harm in genetic engineeringOne potential danger is that these modified genes will be transferred to other plants through cross pollination (Thomson). A solution may be if genes are introduced into chloroplasts or mitochondria, organelles which are maternally inherited (Thomson). In such a case, the modified DNA will not be present in the pollen of plants, do genes added to plants will not spread with cross-pollination to other plants (Thomson).

I hope this is the right category... I have 2 questions.
1) Right now, I have created a few pages for my blog site. However, they are not in the order I want them to appear - quite the opposite. I can't figure out how to make the pages appear in the order I want them.
What I want is on my left menu bar: Page 1, Page 2, ... from top to bottom, and on my horizontal menu bar: Page 1, Page 2, ... from left to right.
What can I do?
2) I'm going to use the site more as a website - not as a blog. So I'd like to be able to remove the archive, blogroll, etc. from the left menu. How do I do that?

The purpose of the article was missed. A clinician familiar with practices through the nation knows how dangerous are the age-barriers that many (including in Boston) place in the way of the opportunity we have to eradicate cervical carcinoma. If a few men, as a result of my article, will stop using 30 and 35 as ages at which cytology begins, then it all will have been worthwhile.Looseness in grading vaginal smears is something we have never suspected in our cytology laboratory. I see nothing unusual in "only 3 of the girls with carcinoma in situ (intraepithelia) had Class 4 smears." I asked several of my colleagues what could be meant.

The Enchanted British Christmas Gala, hosted by Bill Kurtis, legendary television journalist, at the historic landmark, Cafe Brauer in Lincoln Park, was a lovely evening. Attended by 200 guests, the festivities included a cocktail reception in the north and south loggias, overlooking the zoo and city, fun raffles, a sophisticated British menu fit for the Queen–inspired by Victorian culinary opulence, festive music by the Elaine Dame Jazz Quartet, and an exciting live auction.

4) Tickets to London, courtesy of American Airlines, a week stay at Potters Farm Cottage in the famous Cotswolds, courtesy of John Covell and Constance Frydenluncd, and roundtrip airport transfer to O'Hare, courtesy of Metropolitan Limousine.
… and so much more!
A portion of the proceeds from the raffles and live auction go to support the British Studies Summer Program. Two Chicago high school students are chosen from Horizons for Youth to participate in this two-week study/travel program in the UK where students learn about British history, arts and culture. It's a life altering experience for many of the students who have not travelled outside the U.S. Andrew Kittell, Director of Corporate Relations for ACS International Schools, which conducts the British Studies Program, joined us from the D.C. office to give remarks about the program, after which the 2012 students, Adriana Martinez and Dijonnais Thomas, joined Andrew on the stage to say a few words about their experience in the UK. "I now drink my tea with lemon and cream," said Adriana.
After the festivities, many guests continued the networking at the nearby J Bar on top of the new Lincoln Hotel. What a magical evening! Stay tuned for gala photos.
Many thanks to our corporate sponsors (below), raffle and auction sponsors, and to our guests for their oustanding support. Happy Holidays!

Two students from Chicago, joined another seventeen students from across America to spend two weeks in and around London this summer (June 18-30, 2012). The British Summer Studies Program, now in its sixteenth year, is part of a longstanding program offered by ACS International Schools to allow American students to explore the lasting impact of British culture, visiting various sites of cultural and historical interest whilst boarding at ACS Cobham International School.
Adriana Martinez, aged 17 from Walter Payton High school in Chicago and Dijonnais Thomas, aged 17 from Queen of Peace High School, were awarded scholarships to attend the summer school by ACS International Schools and the British American Business Council (BABC) Chicago as part of a joint commitment to rewarding academically gifted and deserving students by offering them both culturally and academically enriching opportunities.
Adriana, an honor student with dreams of becoming a Veterinarian, participates in a program through the Anti-Cruelty Society that exposes students to the world of veterinary medicine through hands on activities, and advanced math and science courses. She hopes that the BSSP will be an opportunity to meet students her age from around the country and learn more about students in other countries. Dijoinnais, a Sophomore at Queen of Peace High School, is active with the Alsip Park District, the Poverty and Hunger Task Force and tutors at the Sacrament Youth Center.
"What a great group of British Studies students were selected, sponsored and sent over to Cobham," said Craig Worthington, Academic Dean and leader of the program. "All 19 of the students showed keen interest and involvement and bonded well. The two weeks literally flew by!"
BABC Chicago partners Horizons-for-Youth to choose the students who will participate in this program. American Airlines generously donated the round trip air transportation for the students.
Ashley Allen, High School Program Director at Horizons-for-Youth, commented:
"Many of the students attending the British Summer Studies Program have not travelled abroad before, so it is a great experience for them to witness first hand some of the cultural highlights of the UK. The program aims to be educational, but also fun, providing students with the opportunity to visit sites that have shaped the evolution of British history, including the Tower of London, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and the Imperial War Museum. I am sure that a number of the students will also be excited to visit Westminster Abbey, the location of Prince William and Catherine Middleton's much talked about wedding, last year."
Funds to sponsor the program are raised at the BABC Chicago's annual British Christmas Gala. The students will be invited to the BABC Chicago annual British Christmas gala on December 14 at Café Brauer to share a few highlights of their trip and experiences.

Our studies on the thermal crosstalk of laser arrays with integrated thin-film heaters involved theoretical as well as experimental investigations. Comparing the effects of intentional geometrical variations of the device design, we found that the relative thermal crosstalk depends critically on the distance between the active area and the film heater. The most striking result is that a minimization of the thermal resistivity of the device does not always lead to a reduced thermal crosstalk. We demonstrate that an additional heat barrier close to the active region and/or an improved heat transfer between the submount and the heat sink may reduce the relative thermal crosstalk, a result completely unexpected from intuitive considerations

For a few months now, since dropping out of high school, Levi Johnston has been working as an apprentice electrician at an Alaska oil field. But this week, the new dad quit over a media inquiry into his eligibility (as a non-graduate with no training) for the job. That doesn't mean our fantasies have to quit, too, does it? [People]

There's an investing lesson in here somewhere. Harris Interactive's 2013 Reputation Quotient survey shows Amazon (AMZN) moving past Apple as the country's reputation leader. Bank of America (BAC) retains a spot in the bottom 5 (along with HAL, GS, and AIG), but enjoyed the largest reputation rebound in 2012. Maybe of most interest are those dropping off the list of visible companies, including: UPS, KSS, and GIS.

AMZN is overvalued at this point but it is nothing to do with its reputation. Consumers like AMZN as AMZN handed out goodies, including tax free shopping. But it costs money and tax-free shopping is diminished gradually. Even traders who short AMZN do like to shop at Amazon.com. Whether AMZN demand higher price for its items with high consumer reputation is a question.

SEATTLE -- Ichiro Suzuki set the major league record for hits in a season with 258, breaking George Sisler's 84-year-old mark with a pair of singles Friday night.
The Seattle star chopped a leadoff single in the first inning, then made history with a grounder up the middle in the third.
Fireworks went off after the ball reached the outfield, creating a haze over Safeco Field, and Suzuki's teammates mobbed him at first base.
The crowd gave him a standing ovation and Texas first baseman Mark Teixeira shook the Japanese outfielder's hand.
With the fans still cheering, Suzuki ran over to the first-base seats and shook hands with Sisler's 81-year-old daughter, Frances Sisler Drochelman, and other members of the Hall of Famer's family.
Sisler set the mark in 1920 with the St. Louis Browns over a 154-game schedule. Suzuki broke it in the Mariners' 160th game of the year.
Both hits came off Ryan Drese, making Suzuki 10-for-20 lifetime against him.
The Rangers righty ran the count full in the third, and Suzuki hit a bouncer up the middle, out of the reach of shortstop Michael Young.
As the ball rolled into center field, the Mariners began to empty their dugout and come out to congratulate Suzuki.
Moments after Suzuki's 258th hit, he scored his 100th run of the season. The Mariners batted around in the third inning, and Suzuki hit a long fly that Laynce Nix caught on the run for the third out.
There was a scary moment for Suzuki in the top of the third. The Gold Glove right fielder chased a foul ball by Ken Huckaby that landed in the stands, and casually hopped up on the low, padded fence -- but then lost his balance.
Suzuki fell awkwardly and came down straddling the fence, but was OK.
The crowd at Safeco Field was on its feet and players in both dugouts were standing at the top rail when Suzuki led off the bottom of the first.
Suzuki quickly matched the mark, bouncing a single over the head of third baseman Hank Blalock.
Fans chanted "I-chi-ro! I-chi-ro!" and he acknowledged the ovation, briefly taking off his batting helmet.
Each member of the family was in high spirits, fully expecting Suzuki to claim the record over the weekend.
"I'd be totally shocked if Ichiro didn't get it," grandson Bo Drochelman said before the game. "We're here to celebrate baseball and my grandfather."
Suzuki's first-inning single was his 919th hit in the majors, breaking the record for most hits over a four-year span. Bill Terry of the New York Giants set the previous record of 918 hits from 1929-32.
About 115 journalists from Japan were credentialed for the three-game series.
The 30-year-old Suzuki, a four-time All-Star, was a huge star in Japan during his nine seasons with Orix in Japan's Pacific League. He got 1,278 hits playing in his home country, and he left Japan with a .353 hitting average.
Earlier this season, Suzuki became the first player to collect at least 200 hits in each of his first major league seasons. His 221 singles this year also are a major league single-season record.
Suzuki was the American League's MVP and Rookie of the Year in 2001, his first season playing in the United States. He's also been a star with his defense in right field, winning three Gold Gloves in his first three seasons.

Enterprise application developer and software architect, focusing primarily on the Microsoft stack and web platform.
I currently work as a consultant in Waltham, Massachusetts. (A job I found on Stack Overflow Careers, thank you very much.) I'm interested in lots of extra-curricular software development activity (user groups, conventions, panels, etc.) as well as general local geekery (gaming, geocaching, anything fun).
Career aspirations involve becoming a better developer, a better architect, and maybe even getting published once I find something about which to write.

Data outsourcing is an emerging paradigm that allows users and companies to give their (potentially sensitive) data to external data storage provider that then become responsible for their storage, management, and dissemination. Although data outsourcing provides many benefits, it introduces new privacy and security concerns. How to protect the outsourcing data privacy when the access control policies are changed dynamically is an important problem. Existing solutions to the problem adopt over-encryption to protect data privacy, it is low efficiency, because every time the users request data from the data storage provider, the data storage provider must encrypt the data with a new key and the users decrypt the data twice. In this paper we present a novel solution to this issue, which based on proxy re-encryption. In the proposed solution, when the users request data from the DSP, the DSP send the cipher text to the users directly without encrypting the data with another second-level key, and the users decrypt the cipher text to get the data with only a new key. Therefore, high efficiency is achieved. We analyze the performance and security of our approach.

The German DBS Digital Sound-Broadcasting System: Audio Coding Methods
The available bit rate on the DBS sound system permits the transmission of 16 stereo sound channels based on a word length of 14 bit/sample. Using uniform coding you indeed will obtain a satisfying sound quality. Nevertheless, an important improvement of quality can be achieved by the introduction of a scale factor, which requires only a very low amount of extra bit rate but offers a dramatic increase of resistance against bit errors and leads furthermore to a very flexible system which enables to widen the dynamic range of the transmission system considerably.

Ohio Governor Accidentally Supports Equal Rights for Gay People, Quickly Corrects
What year is it?
Ohio governor John Kasich said in an interview published today that, while he prefers to reserve marriage for, you know, normal heterosexual couples, "if you want to have a civil union that's fine with me." His office later clarified that when Kasich said "civil unions," he was using the term "loosely," and he still does not actually support civil unions. In other words, it's fine with Kasich if you form a civil union as long as your civil union isn't a civil union.
