In In re The Swatch Group Management Services AG (Serial No 85485359, April 18 2014), in a precedential
opinion, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) has affirmed, on the ground of mere descriptiveness,
a refusal to register the mark TOURBILLON (and design) by The Swatch Group Managements Services AG
for "jewellery, horological and chronometric instruments" in Class 14 of the Nice Classification.
The mark, depicted below, features the term 'tourbillon' below a design of a tourbillon, which the applicant
admitted is a mechanism found in the escapement of some watches.
According to the record, tourbillons were developed around 1795 and were originally designed to improve
watch accuracy. They are still included in some expensive modern watches as a novelty and demonstration
of watchmaking virtuosity. Therefore, the TTAB held there was no doubt that TOURBILLON is descriptive of
watches and their parts.
Before the TTAB proceeding, Swatch had entered a disclaimer of exclusive rights to use the term 'tourbillon'
for "horological and chronometric instruments", but did not enter a disclaimer in relation to jewellery. Noting
that "a descriptiveness refusal is proper with respect to all of the identified goods in an International Class if
the mark is descriptive of any of the goods or services in that class" (citing In re Chamber of Commerce
(102 USPQ2d 1217, 1219 (Fed Cir 2012)), the TTAB discussed why the descriptiveness refusal applied to
The examining attorney's evidence included advertisements that referred to watches as a category of
jewellery. The TTAB also relied on the wording 'jewellery watches' as an acceptable identification of goods
listed in the "Identification of Goods and Services Manual (2014 version)". Swatch countered that "the watch
industry does not consider watches as 'jewellery' and that, accordingly, TOURBILLON is arbitrary as
applied to jewellery and therefore registrable for such goods". The TTAB held that the term 'jewellery'
includes watches. Therefore, "TOURBILLON is merely descriptive of jewellery, inasmuch as the category of
jewellery includes watches and watches may include, as a significant component, a tourbillon".
Swatch also argued that the design element of the mark created a separate commercial impression from
the word element and should not be considered descriptive because it is "not an exact representation of the
applicant's extremely intricate escapement, but is an abstract, highly stylised version of the applicant's
unique mechanism".
The TTAB examined this argument at length but rejected it, concluding that the design contained sufficient
detail to convey that it represents a tourbillon even though it might not be an exact representation of a
tourbillon or Swatch's tourbillon. The TTAB explained that, unlike determining whether a minimum level of
creativity was satisfied to merit copyright protection, "the ultimate guideline in this case is whether the
design forthwith conveys an immediate idea of a feature of the goods and lacks any additional fanciful,
arbitrary or suggestive matter."
Finally, Swatch argued that the combination of the word and design was sufficient to render the mark
registrable as a whole. The TTAB found that, "to the contrary, the combination of the word 'tourbillon' with
the applicant's tourbillon design increases, rather than decreases, the clarity with which the design will be
perceived as a tourbillon, inasmuch as the wording immediately conveys that information to the customer".
Therefore, the TTAB held that the mark as a whole and its component parts were merely descriptive.
Curiously, Swatch previously owned US Registration No 2884033 for the TOURBILLON word mark by itself covering "jewellery; precious stones; precious metals", but apparently could not establish use of the mark
so it was cancelled for failure to file an affidavit of use the same year this new application was filed. In that
application, the examiner never raised a descriptiveness refusal and no disclaimer was entered.

All this "men's work/women's work" stuff is gibberish to me. I was born
in the early 30s [very early, Hoover was president] when that sort of
nonsense was accepted by most people. But times change and continue to
change. Women have been more-or-less liberated from such stupid
stereotypes. Or so I thought. But maybe not in the bible belt. Hello?

Hi Dana,
Thanks for the compliments. I am not sure I would call
it gorgeous *blush* but it's certainly interesting. It
was maiden bloom this year and it only put up one
stalk with one bud. *boo hoo* But the flower was very
starchy and stayed open for quite a while. It's not
very vigorous. But I am going to keep it and hope that
it does better in following years.

The Woman in White
€ 22,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
April 2008
BeschreibungNow a successful new musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, "The Woman in White" is one of the most eerily thrilling melodramas of the Victorian age. This gripping dramatization of Collins's gothic tale of love, greed, and insanity opens in a London courtroom, where the main characters are testifying about the mysterious death of heiress Laura Fairlie. 3 CDs.
PressestimmenGlen McCready takes on Walter Hartright's narrative, and his troubled, slightly vulnerable-sounding tone underscores that this particular drawing master may not be quite man enough to tackle the devious Count Fosco. For that, the story calls on Marian Halcombe, companion to Laura Fairlie -- the intended victim of Fosco's ally, the odious Sir Percival Glyde. As Halcombe, Rachel Bavidge makes her native Tyneside accent a token of that admirable woman's clear-eyed shrewdness and strength. Hugh Dickson reads the solicitor's account and also that of the self-centered, hypochondriacal Frederic Fairlie, upon whose voice he confers a most glorious querulousness. Other parts are beautifully narrated by Marie Collett and Teresa Gallagher. And finally, Allan Corduner is the definitive Fosco, his voice resounding with the timbre of vainglory and projecting all the menace that is so terrifyingly incarnate in the Count's vast frame. - Katherine A Powers, Waashington Post Written in 1859, this classic mystery is perfect for audio. Impoverished art teacher Walter Hartright accepts a position to teach at a country house and finds himself involved in a sinister plot to relieve heiress Laura Fairlie of her wealth-and her sanity. The tireless efforts of stalwart Hartright and Laura's half sister, Marian Holcombe, help save the day. Each of 11 characters, easily identified in a handy cast list, tells his or her story, offering individual perspectives on people and events. The seasoned British actors in this full-cast production play the suspense and emotion to the hilt. Particularly fine are Rachel Bavidge as Marian Holcombe, a warmhearted woman of vast intelligence but no beauty, and Allan Corduner as Fosco, whose mask of geniality hides his true menace. Although it takes a while to fall into the story, this is an excellent rendition of a classic tale, old-fashioned storytelling at its best. - Joyce Saricks, Booklist

I request support through the K08 award to complete my transition from a clinical board-certified psychiatrist with prior research training in epidemiology to an independent translational researcher in genetic and environmental factors for smoking cessation. To achieve this goal, I need further training and experience in advanced genetics, cessation science, and longitudinal research methods, to enable me to conduct future prospective studies on genetics of smoking cessation. I will be guided by experts in the fields of advanced genetics (Drs. Laura Bierut, Alison Goate, John Rice, and Robi Mitra), cessation science (Drs. Timothy Baker and Gary Swan), and longitudinal research (Drs. Naomi Breslau, Eric Johnson, Laura Bierut, and Timothy Baker). The training goals will be advanced through the following proposed research on nicotine dependence which is a serious public health problem. Some genetic variants associated with nicotine dependence and smoking cessation have been identified with modern genetic methods, but account for only a small amount of genetic variance. Our preliminary results suggest comprehensive nicotine dependence phenotypes and prospective cessation measures have greater sensitivity to detect genetic associations. This study aims to fill gaps in the research literature by conducting (1) Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) analyses of nicotine dependence using comprehensive novel phenotypes in two existing, complementary datasets (population vs. treatment sample), (2) GWAS analyses of prospective smoking cessation phenotype, and (3) a pilot longitudinal follow up study of nicotine dependence subjects to replicate the genetic findings of smoking cessation from study aim 2, and to examine identified genetic risks jointly with environmental, comorbid, and treatment factors. We hope to uncover novel genetic variants associated with refined phenotypic characteristics of nicotine dependence and smoking cessation. Genetic risks associated with smoking cessation may be different from those for nicotine dependence, and this distinction will be useful in translating genetic risk to outcome research. Knowledge of how genetic risks influence clinical outcomes and whether they are modified by treatment and comorbid disorder factors will not only clarify the etiology of nicotine dependence to create opportunity for prevention, but also provide needed evidence for individualized cessation treatments to increase the probability of successful quitting. This will be the foundation for future R01 applications for large scale, prospective studies of smoking cessation trials. In summary, by the end of this award, I will become an expert in psychiatric genetics with a focus on smoking cessation. Through my training in advanced genetic methods, cessation science, and longitudinal analyses, along with hands on experience in longitudinal data collection and analyses, I will establish a unique smoking cessation research program at Washington University and launch an independent career conducting large scale smoking cessation trials that will make important contributions to the treatment of nicotine dependence and related disorders.
Nicotine Dependence and Smoking continue to be serious, global public health problems with high health and economic costs to this country despite prevention and treatments efforts. The proposed application aims to identify genetic and environmental factors that affect nicotine dependence and smoking cessation, which may suggest how treatments and environments can be modified to boost cessation success. This information is important for the development of better treatment strategies for nicotine dependence and tobacco-related disorders.

Dear Friends
Happy new year…..although it's the 3rd month of the year…..
Last week saw us receive results from all the high school students who have performed fairly well. From the 16 students who sat for the National exams, 7 got grades that would see them join the Universities while the 9 students are in a position to join Tertiary colleges – when funds are available by September this year.
The 8 kids who sat for the Primary Examinations last year all did well and they have all reported to secondary schools, beginning of February and all this is to you for your grateful donations especially during the Christmas Holiday Season. Thank you on their behalf.
During the end of year 2011, we were able to have our annual medical check-up in which more than 45 children were examined and we are pleased to inform you that we had only 11 referred for further check-up. Out of the 11, 6 had eye issues and were referred to an Optician, 2 had upper respiratory and chest problems while the rest had either running noses or cold/flus where drugs were prescribed and bought for them.
Current Situation of the Centre remains complicated as the case continues to drag on. The case continues to be postponed or more issues raised but at the end of the day we continue to believe and trust we shall overcome especially for the sake of the children we support.
Lastly as you continue to support our children, children on the other hand continue to ensure that and uphold their end of the bargain by attending school and working hard. For these we are grateful.
Thank you and best wishes

Demand/Activity-based Demand Generation
ActivityGen generates demand from a description of the population in the net. To do so, it uses a simple activity-based traffic model. It supports the activities work, school, and free time and the conveyances walking, bike, car, and bus. Cars may have their start or stop location outside the map.
- 1 Typical Command Line
- 2 Example
- 3 The Statistics File
- 4 Activities
- 5 Transportation Means
- 6 Limitations
Typical Command Line
activitygen --net-file <NET> --stat-file <STATISTICS> --output-file <TRIPS> --random
<NET> is a map in form of a SUMO net file, <STATISTICS> contains the description of the population (described below), and <TRIPS> is the generated SUMO routes file (the demand).
You can give ActivityGen a first try with the following example.
While activitygen has been developed mainly to generate traffic demand for larger networks, this example features the small network shown in the image on the right. Download the files activitygen-example.net.xml and activitygen-example.stat.xml to follow this example.
To run this example, use the following commands:
activitygen --net-file activitygen-example.net.xml \ --stat-file activitygen-example.stat.xml \ --output-file activitygen-example.trips.rou.xml \ --random duarouter --net-file activitygen-example.net.xml \ --route-files activitygen-example.trips.rou.xml \ --output-file activitygen-example.rou.xml \ --remove-loops --ignore-errors --repair sumo --net-file activitygen-example.net.xml \ --route-files activitygen-example.rou.xml
The first command generates the net file from the node and edge description. The second command generates the routes file (the demand) from a description of the population in the stat file. The generated routes files does not contain the complete route information though, instead it contains start edge and end edge (and optionally some vias, so-called trips) only. This allows you to choose the router you want for linking departure and destination edges. To use the SUMO's standard Dijkstra algorithm, you need to repair the route file executing the third command. Finally, you can run a traffic simulation with the SUMO main executable. You may give the trip file directly to SUMO as well but this will slow down the simulation considerably because all the routing is now done ad hoc based on the current network status, see Demand/Automatic_Routing:
sumo --net-file activitygen-example.net.xml \ --route-files activitygen-example.trips.rou.xml
The Statistics File
General information
First of all we need general information over the city.
<city> <general inhabitants="1000" households="500" childrenAgeLimit="18" retirementAgeLimit="65" carRate="0.58" unemploymentRate="0.05" footDistanceLimit="350" incomingTraffic="200" outgoingTraffic="50" /> </city>
The meanings of all these attributes are described in the following table:
|Attribute Name
|Value Type
|Total number of inhabitants
|Total number of households (must be between 0.5 and 1 times the number of adults of the city)
|Age under which people are children. This is the first year of adulthood
|Age under which people can have children home and work
|Probability for an adult to own a car
|Probability for an adult in age of work to be unemployed
|Maximum distance one would go by foot instead of another transportation mean.
|Number of people coming everyday into the city for they work
|Number of inhabitants working outside the city
These entries are different from the general information element in what they describe. They depend much more of the special context or state of the city (events, behaviour of the population...). They can also be useful for optimization: the mean speed can be observed afterwards; all values can be changed in order to meet validation criteria on the traffic.
<city> <general ... /> <parameters carPreference="0.50" meanTimePerKmInCity="360" freeTimeActivityRate="0.15" uniformRandomTraffic="0.20" departureVariation="120" /> </city>
The meanings of all these attributes are described in the following table:
|Attribute Name
|Value Type
|Probability that an adult prefers to take his car instead of a public transportation mean (when both available); default: 0.
|Estimation of the time needed to drive one kilometer (bird's eye) on the map; default: 360s.
|Probability that a given household, a given day, has a free time activity using a car; default: 0.15.
|Proportion of the random traffic demand in the whole traffic demand; default: 0.
|Variance of the normal distribution introduced for slight variations in departure time (human natural variation in relation to schedules); default: 0.
Population's Age Brackets
In order to distribute the population among households and in the city coherently, we need a precise age distribution of this population.
<city> <general ... /> <parameters ... /> <population> <bracket beginAge="0" endAge"4" peopleNbr="1745" /> ... <bracket beginAge="66" endAge"90" peopleNbr="978" /> </population> </city>
Follows the description of all bracket attributes.
|Attribute Name
|Value Type
|Beginning age of the interval (incl.). If this is not the first bracket, this age is greater or equal to the previous bracket's ending age
|End age of the interval (excl.). This age is greater to the current bracket's Beginning age
|Number of people in the interval age of the bracket ([beginAge,endAge)). This is an relative value, it will be normalized with the number of inhabitants of the city
Work Hours
We need to specify the opening and closing hours of all city's work positions.
<city> <general ... /> <parameters ... /> <population> <bracket ... /> ... </population> <workHours> <opening hour="30600" proportion="0.30" /> ... <closing hour="43200" proportion="0.20" /> ... </workHours> </city>
Here are descriptions of all attributes of opening and closing elements:
|Attribute Name
|Value Type
|Possible beginning or ending time of work.
|Proportion of work positions having this time as a beginning (resp. end) hour. It's a relative value: the probability of occurrence is computed by normalizing all opening (resp. closing) proportion values by one.
Population and Work Position Distribution
Now, we have to specify the density of people and work in each street of the city. (by street I meant edges which are even more precise)
<city> <general ... /> <parameters ... /> <population> <bracket ... /> ... </population> <workHours> <opening ... /> ... <closing ... /> ... </workHours> <streets> <street edge="abc123" population="2.5" workPosition="10.0" /> ... </streets> </city>
Here are the corresponding attribute descriptions:
|Attribute Name
|Value Type
|Edge's id
|Number of people per meter street. Relative value (normalized with the total number of inhabitants)
|Number of work positions per meter street. Relative value (normalized with the total number of city's work demand)
City Gates
In order to generate incoming and outgoing traffic, we need to specify gates to the city. Every gate will generate the same number of incoming (resp. outgoing) cars (the total number divided by the number of gates).
<city> <general ... /> <parameters ... /> <population> <bracket ... /> ... </population> <workHours> <opening ... /> ... <closing ... /> ... </workHours> <streets> <street ... /> ... </streets> <cityGates> <entrance edge="abc123" pos="243.67" incoming="1.5" outgoing="2.2"/> <entrance edge="abc234" pos="0.00" incoming="1.0" outgoing="0.5"/> ... </cityGates> </city>
The corresponding attribute descriptions:
|Attribute Name
|Value Type
|Edge's id
|Float (m)
|Exact position in the street (edge), in meters, from the beginning of the given edge (the maximum value is the length of the edge)
|Proportion of the incoming vehicles, coming through this gate (relatively to the incoming values of the other gates)
|Proportion of the outgoing vehicles, leaving the city through this gate (relatively to the outgoing values of the other gates)
Children don't go to work but to school. The particularity of schools is that they are exactly positioned and receive many pupils every day.
<city> <general ... /> <parameters ... /> <population> <bracket ... /> ... </population> <workHours> <opening ... /> ... <closing ... /> ... </workHours> <streets> <street ... /> ... </streets> <cityGates> <entrance ... /> ... </cityGates> <schools> <school edge="123abc" pos="23.0" beginAge="12" endAge="18" capacity="400" opening="32400" closing="64800" /> ... </schools> </city>
The corresponding attribute descriptions:
|Attribute Name
|Value Type
|Edge's id
|Float (m)
|Exact position in the street (edge), in meters, from the beginning of the given edge (the maximum value is the length of the edge)
|Age of the youngest pupils of the school (lower bound, included in the bracket of acceptance)
|Age of children not accepted in the school any more (higher bound, excluded from the bracket of acceptance)
|Maximum number of pupils accepted
|Integer (sec)
|Time of class beginning (school time)
|Integer (sec)
|Time of class ending (home time)
Bus Lines
People have a public bus line system to their disposition. This public transportation system is described by stations, different bus lines having their corresponding station for both directions and schedules.
<city> <general ... /> <parameters ... /> <population> <bracket ... /> ... </population> <workHours> <opening ... /> ... <closing ... /> ... </workHours> <streets> <street ... /> ... </streets> <cityGates> <entrance ... /> ... </cityGates> <schools> <school ... /> ... </schools> <busStations> <busStation id="1" edge="abc123" pos="456" /> <busStation id="2" edge="123cba" pos="324" /> ... </busStations> <busLines> <busLine id="601" maxTripDuration="3000"> <stations> <station refId="1" /> ... </stations> <revStations> <station refId="2" /> ... </revStations> <frequencies> <frequency begin="10000" end="25000" rate="1500" /> ... </frequencies> </busLine> </busLines> </city>
The corresponding attribute descriptions of all elements:
|Attribute Name
|Value Type
|Bus line's id
|Integer (sec)
|Maximum time needed for a bus to do the end-to-end trip.
|Reference to the id of the chosen station (refers to a busStation object's id)
|Integer (sec)
|Time of the beginning of a new frequency
|Integer (sec)
|End time of the frequency
|Integer (sec)
|Time between two buses, this is the inverse of the mathematical frequency. This bus rate is performed between the beginning and end values described above

ActivityGen takes into account two groups of activities, which are considered as most traffic-relevant: Work And School and Free Time. The activities within each group follow the same statistical rules.
Work and School Activities
This aggregate of activities contains the following activities:
- Going to work for adults (not retired), and
- Going to school for children.
That implies trips from home to work and the return trip for the drivers.
Free Time Activities
This aggregate of activities contains the following activities:
- Going out during the day (for retired or unemployed people)
- Going out in the evening (for all people who finished their work activity not too late)
- Going out late in the evening or in the night (for not retired adults having no children)
This activity is supposed to cover all car uses for:
- Going out see friends
- Doing sport
- Visiting family
- Party
Activity locations are randomized for this purpose.
Traffic which is not covered by Activitygen
- Through traffic from outside the city to outside the city
- Business traffic (delivery service, logistics, ...)
- Tourist traffic
- Special event traffic
To some extend this can be mitigated by adding uniformRandomTraffic.
Transportation Means
The population is distributed according to the statistics into households located in streets. People are likely to use different means of transportation in relation to their location, the availability of the different means and their destination. Three kind of Means are used in ActivityGen:
- Feet or bike
- Buses
- Cars
All of them have their own possibilities and availability characteristics:
Feet or Bike
Trips by foot are available only for very short distances. But in this case, the person is very likely to go by foot. The bike isn't really used (buses and cars are preferred), it is supposed to serve in cases where none of the three means (Feet, buses and cars) are not available
Bus stations are located in the city corresponding to the real bus line network given in input (statistical data over the city). Someone enough close to a bus station and whose destination is enough close to another bus station is eligible for the public transportation means.
Householders having one or more cars can drive (not children) or be accompanied (escorted) by another adult who needs a car too. Children can only be accompanied (to school for example). Some households have no car, in this case they have to live enough close to a bus station. In the case of having a destination far from any bus station, they can go by foot or ride a bike. But this case doesn't generated any motorized vehicle traffic.
SUMO has a detailed model for individual multi-modal transport itineraries. Since 0.26.0 multi-modal routing with public and individual transport modes is supported as well. However, ACTIVITYGEN does not make use of these facilities. In ACTIVITYGEN
- Buses are generated according to the bus schedule. People using buses do not show up in the simulation.
- According to some distance criteria between locations and bus stations, fewer care trips are generated since people are assumed to take the bus. Public transport travel times are not considered.-

CardioComm Solutions to Offer Free SMART Monitoring ECG Readings to HeartCheck(tm) Device Owners through GEMS Home in the United States. Free Cardiac Arrhythmia Surveillance Ava…admin
By Accesswire
Toronto, Canada – CardioComm Solutions, Inc. (TSX-V:EKG) ("CardioComm Solutions" or the "Company"), a global medical provider of electrocardiogram ("ECG") acquisition and management software solutions, announced it shall be providing HeartCheckTM SMART Monitoring ECG services at no cost effective December 10, 2013 for its USA based customers who have been provided a HeartCheckTM device under a physician prescription.
The Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") cleared both the over-the-counter ("OTC") and prescription use of the handheld HeartCheckTM ECG devices and associated GEMS Home software in use by CardioComm Solutions. The Company remains the only organization that is permitted to show ECG waveforms to consumers without a prior physician prescription. While the Company has developed a business from the OTC sales of the HeartCheckTM PEN ECG device, they also hold a May 17, 2012, FDA clearance for the prescribed use of the HeartCheckTM PEN. Over the subsequent 12 months the Company established a software service infrastructure with SunGard to accommodate global expandability of the now patent-pending SMART Monitoring ECG reading service. This service infrastructure is adherent to personal and health information protection requirements and maintains ISO, FDA, Health Canada and CE Mark standards to ensure protection of the Class II and Class I classifications for CardioComm Solutions' software and devices.
"We have been steadily building our SMART Monitoring capabilities and use cases for the HeartCheckTM devices. In April 2013 we established a rapid, 30 minute on average ECG reading service for ECGs submitted through GEMS Home. Last month we released GEMS Home 1.2 that allows both the HeartCheckTM PEN and the HeartCheckTM ECG monitors to interact with our SMART Monitoring ECG service. With these latest milestones completed, we are now able to expand use of our HeartCheckTM devices so that our American customers with a physician prescription for arrhythmia surveillance will be able to receive up to three ECG interpretations in one day at no cost. After submitting a third ECG in a 24 hour period, the usual pay-as-you go model will apply as is currently in place for OTC consumer driven sales of the HeartCheckTM PEN device," said Etienne Grima, Chief Executive Officer of CardioComm Solutions.
"What this announcement means is that another barrier has been removed to enable more people who would benefit from extended ECG monitoring periods or prolonged arrhythmia surveillance to now have access to the ECG monitoring they need. Everyone becomes at a higher risk for arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation ("AF"), as they age and those with hypertension, diabetes and prior cardiac issues are at highest risk," said Tony Spires, Chief Executive Officer of Humble, Texas based SPI Scanning LLC ("SPI"). "We have been very impressed with the performance of the SMART Monitoring service from CardioComm Solutions and look forward to working with them in support this newest offering." CardioComm Solutions announced their strategic relationship with SPI in an April 24, 2013 press release.
CardioComm Solutions will continue to introduce new enhancements into its GEMS Home solution and SMART Monitoring ECG services throughout the coming year. "We intend to continue to update our customers and shareholders as new programs and partnerships are announced. With respect to the free ECG readings, we will make available the required information and prescription form directly from our website at www.theheartcheck.com. We are also examining the expansion of no-cost, prescription driven ECG readings into Canada," said Simi Grosman, member of the Board of Directors for CardioComm Solutions.
About CardioComm Solutions

Products are sold worldwide through a combination of an external distribution network and a North American-based sales team.

February 2014
18 February 2014 – IEEE President and CEO J. Roberto de Marca (right) presents the 66th Hoover Medal to Apple Computer Co-Founder Steve Wozniak (left) in Los Angeles, CA, USA, on 17 February 2014. The award is presented to an engineer whose professional achievements and personal endeavors have advanced the well-being of humankind and is administered by a board representing five engineering organizations: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers; the American Society of Civil Engineers; the American Institute of Chemical Engineers; the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers; and IEEE.
January 2014
I was hosting a show at the Punchline and Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple!) showed up. He was nice/bored enough to stick around afterward to chat people up and hand out his insanely cool, metal business cards. I still have mine.
December 2013
Steve Wozniak, more fondly known as Woz, co-founded Apple with his friends Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne. He invented the Apple I and Apple II in the 70s before leaving Apple in 1987, but that certainly wasn't the end of Woz in the media. He's quite the chatterbox, and, here at Macworld, we rather enjoy trying to guess what on Earth he's going to say next.
U2, The Clash and more to be featured on Steve Wozniak's US Festival 1983 DVD : Articles : Music TimesNovember 2013
Apple's Steve Jobs is known for his love of music and revolutionizing how we listen to it today. But did you know that the other Steve, Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak, had his hand in the music scene, too?
In the early '80s Wozniak put on a short-lived music event called US Festival through his UNUSON Corporation. The first installment took place on Labor Day 1982. The 1983 festival, its second and final edition, is coming to DVD. That year's event hosted acts including U2, David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Van Halen, Judas Priest, INXS, Stray Cats and The English Beat, Men at Work, Berlin and Triumph as well as The Clash for one of the band's final performance
November 2013
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- In this corner, it's Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. In that corner, it's phone phreaking pioneer Captain Crunch. Over there, it's Apple employee No. 1 Bill Fernandez, and across the room, there's Lee Felsenstein, the creator of the world's first mass-produced portable computer, the Osborne.
October 2013
ELON — Despite all the technology he has designed, engineered and introduced to the world throughout his life, the co-founder of Apple described his original goal in simple terms.
See Steve Wozniak and Trip Hawkins deliver keynotes at Apps World | Mobile content industry news | Mobile EntertainmentOctober 2013
Apple co-founder and EA founder to offer their unique insights at conference on October 22nd-23rd. The fourth Apps World Europe event takes place at Earls Court 2 this month, attracting more than 8,000 delegates during the two-day conference.
September 2013
Steve Jobs is widely acknowledged to have helped change the way much of the world interact with computers, and now the childhood home of the late Apple co-founder could become a historically preserved site in order to honor his accomplishments.
September 2013
Is there anything better than watching geeks try to dance? Well, yes. But nonetheless, it was hilarious watching Mark Cuban and Steve Wozniak get groovy on "Dancing With The Stars." And now, Bill Nye, the personality behind the popular '90s TV program, "Bill Nye the Science Guy," is getting in on the fun.
September 2013
Last week to close out IT Expo, ANPI sponsored the keynote speaker, Steve Wozniak. To establish a festive mood for the man known as the "Woz", ANPI handed out hundreds of sunglasses and beach balls. It was duly noted that it was the first time an audience was hitting beach balls into the air as a keynote speaker came onto the stage.

ICC cricketer of the year Kumar Sangakkara has backed the Indian cricket board to resolve the crisis surrounding the Deccan Chargers.
The Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) last month terminated the franchise for various defaults including failure to pay players on time, but the owners refused to accept the decision and issued a legal challenge, which was thrown out.
Deccan captain Sangakkara told Reuters in Singapore on Saturday that the team, which also boasts South African seamer Dale Steyn and Australian batsman Cameron White, were in the dark about their futures but was hopeful of a solution.

Social Security Offsets: Improvements to Program Design Could Better Assist Older Student Loan Borrowers with Obtaining Permitted Relief
GAO-17-45: Published: Dec 19, 2016. Publicly Released: Dec 20, 2016.
Older borrowers (age 50 and older) who default on federal student loans and must repay that debt with a portion of their Social Security benefits often have held their loans for decades and had about 15 percent of their benefit payment withheld. This withholding is called an offset. GAO's analysis of characteristics of student loan debt using data from the Departments of Education (Education), Tre...

GAO's nongeneralizable survey of 80 401(k) plans ranging in size from fewer than 100 participants to more than 5,000 and its review of industry data found that many plans have policies that affect workers' ability to (1) save in plans (eligibility policies), (2) receive employer contributions, and (3) keep those employer contributions if they leave their job (vesting policies).

401(K) PLANS: DOL Could Take Steps to Improve Retirement Income Options for Plan Participants
GAO-16-433: Published: Aug 9, 2016. Publicly Released: Sep 8, 2016.
Workers relying in large part on their 401(k) plan in retirement may not always have a feasible way to make their savings last throughout retirement. Responses to GAO's non-generalizable questionnaire from 11 401(k) plan record keepers—entities that manage participant account data and transactions for plans—showed that most plans covered by the questionnaire had not adopted products and serv...
Retirement Security: Shorter Life Expectancy Reduces Projected Lifetime Benefits for Lower Earners
GAO-16-354: Published: Mar 25, 2016. Publicly Released: Apr 4, 2016.
The increase in average life expectancy for older adults in the United States contributes to challenges for retirement planning by the government, employers, and individuals. Social Security retirement benefits and traditional defined benefit (DB) pension plans, both key sources of retirement income that promise lifetime benefits, are now required to make payments to retirees for an increasing num...

GAO-15-74: Published: Jan 27, 2015. Publicly Released: Feb 26, 2015.
Little public data are available to assess the extent to which sponsors of defined benefit plans are offering participants immediate lump sums to replace their lifetime annuities, but certain laws and regulations provide incentives for use of this practice.

When a participant has saved less than $5,000 in a 401(k) plan and changes jobs without indicating what should be done with the money, the plan can transfer the account savings—a forced transfer—into an individual retirement account (IRA). Savings in these IRAs are intended to be preserved by the conservative investments allowed under Department of Labor (DOL) regulations. However, GAO found t...
