| ALEXANDER: "I'm not quitting" over donor crisis
What is clear is that somebody who had access to campaign data has taken copies of key documents and sent them out to selected journalists for the past two weeks. One document, released last weekend, contained a list of donors, the amounts they had given and comments by the team for action on each donation; its circulation would have been restricted. Ms Alexander is desperate to find the person responsible and, although the leaking of such devastating material does not necessarily prove the existence of a plot to unseat the Scottish Labour leader, it does show that at least one person feels so angry about Ms Alexander that he or she is prepared to take her down - and damage the whole party. No-one knows yet whether the leak has come from policy disagreements, personal antipathy to Ms Alexander or is part of the sort of factional infighting the Labour Party in central and west Scotland used to be famous for.[/quote] .

Builder by day, bluegrass Belle by night
I know quite a few musicians who are also engineers or mathematicians or I.T. people or software designers or chemists," Brandon says. "Diana, the fiddler in our band, is a product designer." Linda Seekins, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, fronts her own polka band and calls herself Big Lou the Accordion Princess. "The scientific world can be a little dry and rigorous," Seekins says. "I like the anything-goes musical scene, where you don't have to explain your ideas, no matter how peculiar they might be." "It's a way to blow off steam, for sure," Brandon says of her musical life. "I have a fairly stressful job. Engineering is quite demanding. You have deadlines and there's a lot of pressure." One of her musical colleagues, Don Burnham of Lost Weekend, wrote a song for Brandon, called "Ms.

WebMoney and cashU announce strategic partnership
In the first stage of this partnership, cashU prepaid cards, which are available in over 20 countries in the Middle East can now be used to top up WebMoney accounts. In the coming months, cashU will allow WebMoney's user base to top up their cashU accounts, which they can then use to access cashU's international merchant base. Both WebMoney and cashU provide online payment services to people who lack access to online credit, as these users often do not have bank accounts or credit cards. Incepted in 1998, WebMoney has a formidable presence in Russia and CIS and a worldwide user base of almost four million accounts and over 2 500 merchants. In 2006, WebMoney achieved a transaction volume of $1.45 Billion dollars. cashU's partnership with WebMoney is one in a series of partnerships for both the companies, who see the benefit of having a flexible e-currency exchange system.
Digital hearing aid devices giving patients more control
He said there are some hearing aid companies that still make analog devices, but most of them have switched to digital. While some people can get by with one hearing aid, he recommends two so hearing is better balanced. "Hearing is in your brain," he said, "and the brain can better balance information it is receiving from two sources instead of one." Terri Samuelson, an audiologist with the Defiance Hearing Aid Center, tests patients to determine how much hearing has been lost. "Patients must understand that a hearing aid is like a corrective lens in eyeglasses," she said. "A hearing aid will correct hearing up to a certain point, depending on how much damage has been done to the ear or in the brain. Some people may be able to hear again at 100 percent and some at 20 percent of what they originally had." She noted it is rare that patients would regain 100 percent of their hearing, but scientific research is ongoing to try and regenerate hair cells.
Dell spends $340m on summer of SAM
Dell said it is spending around $340m to buy Asap Software, a software asset-management (SAM) company, as part of an effort to simplify how customers can communicate with it. Asap is one of the leading SAM companies, with offices in France and the US. SAM is becoming increasingly important as legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley and pressure from organisations such as Microsoft and the Business Software Alliance puts increasing pressure on companies to maintain compliance. The acquisition will "strengthen Dell's existing software business by integrating Asap's complementary expertise in managing software licensing, purchasing, renewals, and compliance", Dell said. It said it anticipates closing the deal in the third quarter of this financial year. According to David Marmonti, president of Dell EMEA, the acquisition will mean Dell customers "will have one of the world's leading software-solutions providers as a single point of expertise and accountability for software licensing, compliance, renewal and asset management".
