Trademark filings are sort of like optioning a book to Hollywood - the deal's been done, but it doesn't mean the movie/game will come to pass. Let's hope it stays that way for "Mad Men."
The trademark for Mad Men, yet another Critically Acclaimed Drama on Cable TV that I've yet to watch, has been registered by Lionsgate. Joystiq's take on it, like Occam's Razor, is the simplest explanation and most plausible: that even if this gets made, it'll probably be "some cheap casual game" (I'd be thinking mobile) developed as a marketing cash-in.
Why Mad Men, though? Why not Eastbound and Down? It could be the baseball equivalent of Blitz: The League, just replace the testicle-smashing with coke-snorting, trailer-trash nailing minigames.

Guests at Jack Osbourne's wedding in Hawaii feared his mother Sharon was upset on the couple's big day because she cried throughout the ceremony.
The reality TV star married his fiancee Lisa Stelly, the mother of his daughter Pearl, in a romantic island ceremony surrounded by friends and family, and Osbourne matriarch Sharon admits she wept with joy throughout the service.
She tells Australian radio's Kyle and Jackie O Show, "It was wonderful!… Oh my goodness me. (I cried), people thought I was sad, but it was tears of joy!… but I just couldn't help (it).
"All I kept thinking was, 'My boy's still 12 years of age, what's he doing getting married?', then I realized, no he's not, he's 26, what am I doing!"

Press release
Brussels, 14 November 2012
Women on Boards: Commission proposes 40% objective
Today the European Commission has taken action to break the glass ceiling that continues to bar female talent from top positions in Europe's biggest companies. The Commission has proposed legislation with the aim of attaining a 40% objective of the under-represented sex in non-executive board-member positions in publicly listed companies, with the exception of small and medium enterprises. Currently, boards are dominated by one gender: 85% of non-executive board members and 91.1% of executive board members are men, while women make up 15% and 8.9% respectively. Despite an intense public debate and some voluntary initiatives at national and European level, the situation has not changed significantly in recent years: an incremental average increase of the number of women on boards of just 0.6 percentage points per year has been recorded since 2003.
It is for this reason that the Commission is today proposing EU legislation to accelerate progress towards a better gender balance on the corporate boards of European companies. The proposal was presented jointly by Vice-President Viviane Reding (Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship), Vice-President Antonio Tajani (Industry and Entrepreneurship), Vice-President Joaquín Almunia (Competition), Vice-President Olli Rehn (Economic and Monetary Affairs), Commissioner Michel Barnier (Internal Market and Services) and Commissioner László Andor (Employment and Social Affairs).
The Commission is today responding to the calls from the European Parliament which, with an overwhelming majority, has repeatedly called for legislation on equality between women and men in business leadership, notably in its resolutions of 6 July 2011 and 13 March 2012.
The proposed Directive sets an objective of a 40% presence of the under-represented sex among non-executive directors of companies listed on stock exchanges. Companies which have a lower share (less than 40%) of the under-represented sex among the non-executive directors will be required to make appointments to those positions on the basis of a comparative analysis of the qualifications of each candidate, by applying clear, gender-neutral and unambiguous criteria. Given equal qualification, priority shall be given to the under-represented sex. The objective of attaining at least 40% membership of the under-represented sex for the non-executive positions should thus be met by 2020 while public undertakings – over which public authorities exercise a dominant influence – will have two years less, until 2018. The proposal is expected to apply to around 5 000 listed companies in the European Union. It does not apply to small and medium-sized enterprises (companies with less than 250 employees and an annual worldwide turnover not exceeding 50 million EUR) or non-listed companies.
José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, said: "Today, with this proposal, the European Commission is answering the strong call of the European Parliament for EU action to bring about gender equality in corporate boardrooms. Today, we are asking large listed companies across Europe to show that they are serious when it comes to gender equality in economic decision-making. At my initiative, the Commission has significantly strengthened the presence of female Commissioners among its members, with one third of Commissioners being women."
Vice-President Viviane Reding, the EU's Justice Commissioner, added: "The European Union has been successfully promoting gender equality for over 50 years. However, there is one place where we have not seen any progress: company boardrooms. The example set by countries such as Belgium, France and Italy, who have recently adopted legislation and are starting to show progress, clearly demonstrates that time-limited regulatory intervention can make all the difference. The Commission's proposal will make sure that in the selection procedure for non-executive board members priority is given to female candidates – provided they are under-represented and equally qualified as their male counterparts."
"I am indebted to the numerous members of the European Parliament who have fought tirelessly for this cause and who have been instrumental in helping me get this proposal on the table."
Slow progress has led to fragmented action in 11 Member States
Just 1 in 7 board members (13.7%) at Europe's top companies is a woman. This is only a slight improvement from 11.8% in 2010. At this slow rate of progress it would still take around 40 years to even get close to gender balance in boardrooms (at least 40% of both sexes).
As a consequence, several EU Member States have started to introduce different types of laws for company boards. 11 Member States (Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Austria and Slovenia) have introduced legal instruments to promote gender quality on company boards. In eight of these countries, legislation covers public undertakings (see factsheet with country-specific overview). Meanwhile, a further 11 EU countries have neither self-regulation measures nor legislation in place. This legally fragmented approach risks hampering the functioning of Europe's Single Market, as different company law rules and sanctions for not complying with gender balance laws can lead to complications for businesses and have a deterrent effect on companies' cross-border investments. This is why today's proposal seeks to create an EU-wide framework for such positive action rules.
Main elements of the proposal:
The Directive sets a minimum objective of 40% by 2020 for members of the under-represented sex for non-executive members of the boards of publicly listed companies in Europe, or 2018 for listed public undertakings.
The proposal also includes, as a complementary measure, a "flexi quota": an obligation for listed companies to set themselves individual, self-regulatory targets regarding the representation of both sexes among executive directors to be met by 2020 (or 2018 in case of public undertakings). Companies will have to report annually on the progress made.
Qualification and merit will remain the key criteria for a job on the board. The directive establishes a minimum harmonisation of corporate governance requirements, as appointment decisions will have to be based on objective qualifications criteria. Inbuilt safeguards will make sure that there is no unconditional, automatic promotion of the under-represented sex. In line with the European Court of Justice's case law on positive action, preference shall be given to the equally qualified under-represented sex, unless an objective assessment taking into account all criteria specific to the individual candidates tilts the balance in favour of the candidate of the other sex. Member States that already have an effective system in place will be able to keep it provided it is equally efficient as the proposed system in attaining the objective of a presence of 40% of the under-represented sex among non-executive directors by 2020. And Member States remain free to introduce measures that go beyond the proposed system.
Member States will have to lay down appropriate and dissuasive sanctions for companies in breach of the Directive.
Subsidiarity and Proportionality of the proposal: The 40% objective applies to publicly listed companies, due to their economic importance and high visibility. The proposal does not apply to small and medium enterprises. The 40% objective is focused on non-executive director posts. In line with better regulation principles, the Directive is a temporary measure and is set to expire in 2028.
"This measure is there to swiftly bring about gender equality in Europe's corporate boardrooms. It will no longer be needed once progress in this area has been achieved," added Vice-President Viviane Reding.
The EU's competence to legislate in gender equality matters dates back to 1957 (see SPEECH/12/702). Council Recommendations on promoting the balanced participation of men and women in the decision-making process date back to 1984 and 1996. In addition, the European Parliament has called for legally binding quotas at EU level in several Resolutions.
Promoting more equality in decision-making is one of the goals in the European Women's Charter (see IP/10/237), which was initiated by President José Manuel Barroso and Vice-President Viviane Reding in March 2010. The Commission followed through on these commitments by adopting a Strategy for Equality between Women and Men in September 2010 for the next five years (see IP/10/1149 and MEMO/10/430).
A report by the Commission in March 2012 showed that, across the EU, company boards are currently dominated by one gender. There are also big differences between countries, with women making up 27% of board members in the largest Finnish companies and 26% in Latvia, but only 3% in Malta and 4% in Cyprus.
Progress in improving the gender balance in Europe's boardrooms over the past year has been the best it has been for a long time (a 1.9 percentage point increase from October 2010 to January 2012, compared to a long-term average rise over the last decade of 0.6 percentage points per year). This increase can be attributed to calls from the Commission and the European Parliament (MEMO/11/487) and a number of national legislative initiatives in the Member States. But overall, change remains stubbornly slow. The number of women chairing major company boards has even declined, falling to 3.2% in January 2012 from 3.4% in 2010.
Tangible progress is the exception and not the rule. Progress is only visible in countries that have introduced legally binding laws for company boards. France, which introduced a legal quota in January 2011, accounts alone for more than 40% of the total EU-wide change recorded between October 2010 and January 2012.
In March 2011, EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding challenged publicly-listed companies in Europe to voluntarily increase the number of women in their boardrooms by signing the 'Women on the Board Pledge for Europe' (MEMO/11/124). The pledge called on companies to commit to raising female representation on their boards to 30% by 2015 and 40% by 2020. However, after a year, only 24 companies across Europe had signed the Pledge.
To identify appropriate measures for addressing the persistent lack of gender diversity in boardrooms of listed companies in Europe, the Commission launched a public consultation (see IP/12/213). Following a large number of responses, the Commission then assessed the different policy options for addressing the situation.
A growing number of studies suggest gender balanced boards have the potential to improve the financial performance of companies. Having more women in top jobs can contribute to a more productive and innovative working environment and improved company performance overall. This is mainly due to a more diverse and collective mind-set which incorporates a wider range of perspectives and therefore reaches more balanced decisions. In addition, women account for 60% of new university graduates but only few make it to the top of companies. Opening the door to senior positions will act as an incentive for women to enter and stay in the workforce, helping to raise female employment rates. Having more women in the workforce will help achieve the target set by the Europe 2020 Strategy – the EU's growth strategy – to raise the employment rate for women and men aged 20-64 to 75% by 2020.

In a two-tier system data on non-executives refer to members of the supervisory board and data on executives to members of the executive/management board. Occasionally, it is possible for the supervisory board to include one or more executive members (e.g. CEO and CFO). In this case these are included in the executive figures, though individuals participating in both boards are counted only once. Non-executive figures in this case still refer to the total members of the supervisory board and could, therefore, include some executives but the numbers concerned are not significant and should not affect the final result.

I require help on co-operative issue. I had filed the RTI with the PIO, Dy registrar of co-op societies seeking information on affairs of society.
The PIO has replied stating that the information I am seeking is available with co-operative society. My query is:
1] Can PIO direct an applicant to private body for information?
2] The society in question comes under the jurisdiction of the PIO, since PIO is public authority and co-operative society a private body, is it not duty of PIO to seek information from society and give it to me? How can PIO direct me back to society? This is RTI application, either I have to appeal or I have to forego. I cannot complaint against reply. So I want to approach FAA, under what grounds can I?
3] What kind of violation PIO has committed by directing me back to private society?
4] Does co-operative society come under the purview of RTI ACt?
Your views are appreciated. I am fighting lone battle with corrupt system.

Once in a while, I like to get an historical perspective on Creativity and Innovation. I found four websites that are very helpful in doing this:
1) my favorite site is The Great Idea Finder - this site looks like it was created in 1996 and in serious need of a web 2.0 programmer, but it's full of great research, ideas and history. Check out It's About Time for a day-by-day history timeline, or Invention and Inventor Lists for interesting lists of patents, inventors, entrepreneurs and more.
2) About.com Inventors - this community is full of great insights on the history of inventors (a subset of creators and innovators in my mind). Wonderful information on the history of many famous inventions and inventors -or search by your favorite invention
–> an added bonus to the site is "Today in History" - pick any date and the site has a wiki-list of famous inventions, patent filings, and note-worthy "aha-moments" that occurred on that date. For example, this day, on March 30th, the following happened: "1956 Woody Guthrie's song, "This Land Is Your Land" was copyrighted." Click on "Birthdays" and you find:
- 1842 – Dr. Crawford Long was the first physician to use ether as anesthetic
- 1865 – German physicist, Heinrich Rubens
- 1876 – Clifford Whittingham Beers was a mental hygiene pioneer
- 1892 – Polish mathematician, Stefan Banach
- 1894 – Russian airplane builder, Sergei Ilyushin
- 1912 – Andrew Rodger Waterson was a noted naturalist
3) the Inventors Timeline – takes you back to the Paleolithic Era then forward to present time, identifying all key inventions known to the world…a very interesting way to see how the pace of technology is quickening.
4) the Timeline Index – a nice visual timelime of Inventors through the recent ages – also an interesting timeline for other areas such as artists, philosophers, actors, etc). Click on any person's name and it gives you a detailed page on their biography, related links, etc.
Where do all these ideas come from?
The big question that people often ask me about my work with entrepreneurs and innovators is "So, where do ideas come from?" Conventional wisdom is that ideas come from an "AHA" moment that an inventor has – for example, the moment that Art Fry at 3M Corp realized he had inadvertently created a sticky substance that could be used on paper to create the "post-it" note, or the moment that Archimedes sat in his bath tub and realized that the water he had displaced held an important clue to measuring density of matter.
But in looking HISTORICALLY at actual inventions that have made produced the most profound changes in human history — the wheel, electricity, the automobile, the light bulb, the small-pox vaccination, the computer chip, the television, the Worldwide Web — we find that there was no "AHA" moment…there were a myriad of smaller progressive discoveries leading to a key discover from one person or group that seems to solidify
I was speaking at the Computer History Museum this past week and arriving early, took the time to look at the work of Charles Babbage, who is regarded as the "Father of Computing." In 1822 he created an entirely mechanical "Difference Engine" (see photo I took to right, owned by Nathan Myrvold) which was meant to calculate mathematics (polynomials) and he later created a "Analytics Engine" that used punch cards. Babbage's inventions resulted from a hundreds of years of European discoveries of how machines work, including work dating back to the time of Leonardo Davinci and the abacus dating back to Mesopotamia, Egypt and China. It was Babbage who lived in a time where the "technology" (small metal parts) and mathematical understanding enabled him to implement the first working prototype. Babbage worked through his lifetime to complete these designs. The engine was a creation born from a series of historical baby steps.
Take a more recent invention – the PDA…Palm gets much of the credit for it, but its birth was due to a number of companies all working the overall product from various angles. Psion, Apple,Xerox, others …a visit to the Computer History Museum in Sunnyvale shows the tale. There was no "aha" moment of innovation in the discovery of the PDA – it too seems to be more Evolutionary rather than Revolutionary.
In his book, The Myths of Innovation, author/entrepreneur/blogger/professor Scott Berkun makes a pretty good case for the fact that innovations never seem to evolve in a straight line. Ideas are formed, tested out, failures occur, competitors emerge in an area of great "hope" and eventually some lucky company emerges as the one to popularize the new innovation.
According to Berkun, ideas come from either hard work in a specific direction, or the combination of two or more (heretofore separate) ideas, or curiosity, or wealth, or necessity or luck — or some combination of all of these.
In his book The Medici Effect, my friend Frans Johansson points out that some of the most prolific bursts of new ideas (such as those found in 15th Century Italy, banked by the Medici Family in Florence) come from a confluence of different disciplines or cultures, combined in new and unusual ways. Johansson delineates "directional" and "intersectional" innovation. Directional innovation – like the light bulb which Thomas Edison found through years of testing, is evolutionary with a focused linear path. Intersectional innovation – for example the Googles combination of new search algorithms with an approach to listing advertising as words - is ALSO evolutionary. The research the Google founders did at Stanford was descendant from previous work at Yahoo and Infoseek, and the advertising approach they used was borrowed from goto.com (later became Overture). It was the fortuitous combination of these two ideas (intersection) that led to the most innovative company of all time. Serendipity certainly played a role for both Edison and Google founders – more on that in a future blog post.
I'm challenged to think of an example of innovation which was not in some way evolutionary – building upon prior ideas, research or thought.
I'm curious if any of my readers can think of examples…

I just received my wilderness permit for 4/15 through 4/17 to camp at Round Valley. The plan is to ride the tram up Saturday morning, camp for two nights at Round Valley (with hike up to Mt. San Jacinto on Easter Sunday), and then come down on Monday 4/17.
Along with the permit, was a strip of paper labeled "Water Availability Alert". It says there is currently no water available at the Round Valley Spring spigot, and that we should plan to either bring our water, or at the very least, to tank up at the Long Valley Ranger Station with whatever we will need before entering the wilderness.
Having never been to the area, but having seen some recent reports on conditions in the area, I was hoping there would be one or more sources of water in the area where we could at least filter rather than hauling in three days worth of water.
I was hoping some kind folks here could shed some light on what the actual conditions are, or will likely be two weeks from now. Any additional information about general campground conditions would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Grab it. Grab it nao!
Pesky licensing deals! Capcom's Christian Svensson has announced that the deal between them and Tatsunoko has "lapsed," which basically means that they can't print the Wii's Tatsunoko vs. Capcom anymore, or sell it digitally.
If you haven't nabbed TvC yet, now is the time, as very few places are still selling them new (Amazon has stopped selling it in an official capacity as of this morning). After reading the lovely Jonathan Holmes' review, how could you pass it up?
If you aren't sold yet, it would like awful nice sitting next to that fancy Wii U, with backwards compatibility. Or you could always leave it sealed and resell it (remember Marvel vs. Capcom 2?).
Hopefully at some point we can get Sanrio vs. Capcom game -- wouldn't that be awesome? I call Unico and Servbot.

Acoustic Neuromas
Although acoustic neuromas are non-malignant (not cancerous) growths, they can cause significant problems. These tumors make up 10% of all brain tumors. These tumors are known as vestibular schwannomas. They occur deep inside the skull next to vital brain centers (brainstem, cerebellum) and affect the 8th cranial nerve (balance / hearing nerve).
The first symptoms usually relate to ear function and include ear noise (tinnitus), hearing loss (on the side of the tumor), and dizziness or imbalance. As the tumors enlarge, they involve the surrounding brain and affect more vital functions (including facial nerve function- the ability to move the face). Headaches may develop as a result of increased pressure on the brain. If allowed to continue over a long period of time, this pressure on the brain will result in death. In most cases, acoustic neuromas grow slowly over a period of years, but they can grow more quickly (such as when they bleed or undergo degeneration into a fluid-filled cyst).
Unfortunately, a careful check of all patients with the symptoms listed above does not always result in an early diagnosis of acoustic tumors. At the minimum, patients with hearing loss and balance problems should get a hearing test and see an otolaryngologist. Depending on the findings and symptoms, an MRI scan with contrast may need to be ordered. The goal is to catch these tumors at an early stage, which increases the chance of preserving hearing, facial nerve function, and other important functions.
The standard treatment for acoustic neuromas is surgical removal (via the middle cranial fossa, translabyrinthine, or retrosigmoid approaches). The risks of surgery are less than the risk of leaving the tumor untreated in most cases. The earlier the tumors are diagnosed and removed, the less likely the possibility of serious complications. Radiation therapy is an option for patients who are elderly or too sick to undergo surgery.

"The Coulter Foundation has been extraordinary in its contributions to Westminster College over the years and has played a significant role in the excellent academic environment our students enjoy today."
Past News ReleasesRSS
Fulton, MO (PRWEB) April 26, 2013
At a birthday celebration April 18 on the http://www.westminster-mo.edu campus in Fulton, MO, in honor of the 100th birthday of the late Wallace H. Coulter, Westminster College received a present of its own from the http://www.whcf.org/ —a one million dollar gift.
As a part of their remarks at the event, Sue Van, President and CEO of the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation, and Wayne Barlin, Vice President and General Counsel of the Foundation, surprised Westminster College President Dr. George B. Forsythe with a check for $500,000 and a commitment for a second gift later for an additional $500,000.
The gifts were given in recognition of the invaluable counsel of Westminster Board of Trustees Chairman Robert Muehlhauser, Class of 1968, to the Coulter Foundation since its inception in 1998 and his continuing service to Westminster during his tenure as Chairman of the Board of Trustees.
"The Coulter Foundation has been extraordinary in its contributions to Westminster College over the years and has played a significant role in the excellent academic environment our students enjoy today," says Chairman Muehlhauser. "These generous gifts will add immeasurably to the success of all the things we can do for our students. I greatly appreciate Sue Van's continued confidence and support of Westminster College."
Van presented the College with a magnificent wall plaque featuring twin medallions, one with the likeness of Wallace H. Coulter and the other a representation of the Coulter Principle, his most famous achievement.
"There are not many times when I am speechless, but I am at this moment…speechless with gratitude," said President Forsythe at the presentation. "Thank you, Sue Van, Wayne Barlin and the entire Coulter Foundation for these generous gifts to Westminster College. We are inspired by Wallace Coulter's life of intellectual curiosity, philanthropy, and commitment to serve and benefit humanity."
Wallace H. Coulter, who attended Westminster, invented the Coulter Counter, a method for automating the previously labor intensive process of counting and classifying blood cells.
"The gifts of The Coulter Foundation to Westminster College over the years have been transformational and have made possible our state-of-the-art Coulter Science Center, academic scholarship support for our students, campus improvements and our unique cadaver lab," says President Forsythe.
Previously, the Coulter Foundation awarded a $30 million grant to Westminster College, the largest in the history of the College. This gift expanded and rebuilt the Wallace H. Coulter Science Center into an 80,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility, inspired alumni giving, created scholarships, and helped transform the campus into the beautiful grounds enjoyed today.
At the Coulter celebration ceremony President Forsythe inducted Wallace Coulter as the first member of the Westminster Science Hall of Fame and presented a plaque to the Coulter Foundation visitors identical to the one that will hang in the Coulter Science Center.
Prior to his death, Wallace Coulter established the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation to fund improvements in health care through medical research and engineering. The Foundation received funding in December 1999 and has continued this legacy by funding translational research in biomedical engineering with the goal of accelerating the introduction of new technologies into patient care. Prior to the establishment of its two main programs to support translational research in biomedical engineering, the Foundation began working with colleges, universities and professional associations that Wallace Coulter was associated with during his lifetime.
Founded in 1851, Westminster College is one of the top liberal arts colleges in America, according to all major educational ranking firms including U.S.News & World Report, Forbes magazine, The Princeton Review and Washington Monthly. This selective college for men and women operates on two campuses, one an 86-acre residential campus in Fulton, MO, and a second Southwestern urban campus in the vibrant downtown of Mesa, AZ. Westminster is a challenging academic environment where students are educated to lead and inspired to achieve.

The Port of Southampton owns a dedicated fresh produce facility, operated by Solent Stevedores, which has temperature, controlled, covered storage, and has been developed for the handling of tomatoes imported from the Canary Islands.
ABP's ports of Grimsby, Hull, Fleetwood, and Troon, have historical connections with the fishing industry that proudly continue today. As a result, facilities can be found at these ports that specialise in the storage, packing, and distribution of fish products and can be used for a wider-range of products.
The use of these facilities is not tied to cargo being directly shipped through the ports; these facilities are being used for handling the import of containerised fish products from around the world, building on the skills and expertise that has been developed in these traditional industries.
Our Ports of Hull and Cardiff operate two cold stores. Hull has a close connection between the Cold Store and roro freight trade on the Hull to Rotterdam and Zeebrugge routes bringing with it large volumes of meat products. Cardiff port has expertise in handling frozen fruit juices for companies involved in the distribution of these products throughout Wales and beyond.
For the handling of fresh produce, ABP has developed close working relationships with the local port health authorities to try to ensure the best possible service for these sensitive and high-value products.
Our commercial team would be pleased to put together a package of port facilities tailored for your business in our unique network of 21 ports.

Quarterly Recap - 4th Quarter 2013
U.S. stocks ended a banner year with the Dow Industrials and S&P 500 closing at new all-time highs. Markets were strong throughout the month and quarter as improving labor market conditions and better-than-expected economic growth finally provided the Federal Reserve with sufficient evidence to reduce its monthly asset purchase program known as quantitative easing. On December 18th, Fed policymakers said the economy was strong enough to taper its $85B monthly bond purchases by $10B. The central bank also revealed that as conditions warrant, it will make similar reductions over the course of 2014 and end stimulus altogether by the end of the year. All told, together with improving corporate earnings, quantitative easing programs by the U.S. Fed, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan have helped boost global equity valuations by over $9.5 trillion this year. The S&P 500 returned 2.5% in December, extended quarterly gains to 10.5% and concluded the year with its best annual gain since 1997. Smaller capitalized U.S. companies underperformed large-cap stocks as the Russell 2000 Index, a proxy of small-cap equity performance, rose 2% in December and rallied 8.7% during the quarter. Yet for the year, small-cap beat large-cap as the Russell 2000 surged 38.8%. Growth stocks edged out value in all three periods as the Russell 1000 Growth Index rose 2.9% last month whereas the Russell 1000 Value Index returned 2.5%. During the quarter and year, the Russell 1000 Growth Index advanced 10.4% and 33.5% respectively, while the Russell 1000 Value Index gained 10% and 32.5%. All but one of the ten major sectors rallied in December with Materials (+4.8%) and Industrials (+4.3%) gaining the most, while Telecom (-0.3%) fell. For the quarter, Industrials (+13.5%) and Technology (+13.3%) took top honors. Consumer Discretionary (+43.1%) and Healthcare (+41.5%) were 2013's top performing sectors. Developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, widely underperformed domestic indices during the month (+1.5%) and quarter (+5.7%). Emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Market Index, rebounded to post a 1.5% December gain after falling 1.5% in November. Emerging markets rose 1.8% on a quarterly basis, paring its 2013 loss to 2.6%. Commodities, as measured by the S&P GSCI Index of 24 raw materials, registered its first annual loss in five years (-1.2%). Gold plunged by nearly $470/oz. (-28%) in 2013, its worst annual decline in 32 years. Silver plunged 32% last year. Crude oil futures rose 6.1% in December, fell 3.8% during the 4Q and rose 7.2% on the year. In the bond market, the Barclays U.S. Government Bond Index lost 0.9% in December, fell 0.7% during the fourth quarter and posted its first annual loss since 2009 (-2.6%). The yield on benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury notes ended the quarter at 3.03%, up 39 basis points from the start of the quarter and up 127 basis points on the year. At the other end of the credit quality spectrum, non-investment grade corporate bonds returned 0.5% in December, 3.6% on the quarter and 7.4% for the year, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index. Higher quality investment grade bonds, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, fell 0.6% on the month, slipped 0.1% during the quarter and lost 2% in 2013. The Barclays Municipals Index fell 0.3% in December, gained 0.3% during the quarter and fell 2.6% last year.

Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring: Information Exchange and Opportunities for Collaboration. Report of the Second Joint WHO/IFPMA Meeting. Geneva, 2-3 April 1998
(1998; 17 pages)
(1998; 17 pages)
Antimicrobial resistance is a serious and growing problem worldwide. WHO recognizes the significant impact that resistance is having on public health and is committed to action, as exemplified by the Resolution of the World Health Assembly.
The Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring programme in the WHO Division of Emerging and other Communicable Diseases Surveillance and Control (EMC), working in partnership with others both within and outside WHO, has as its long-term goals:
· to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with infections caused by antimicrobial resistant pathogens;
· to reduce the rate of emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Fuel cells have been used as power generators in satellites and submarines for years. Indeed, the principle of the fuel cell was discovered back in 1840 by English physicist, Sir William Grove. So why is it taking so long for the fuel cell to become a source of power for the automobile?
|This Zafira-based vehicle is powered by gas: liquid hydrogen.
Clearly there are major problems to overcome: cost and complexity are the two biggest stumbling blocks, not to mention establishing a supply infrastructure. But despite the obstacles, the world's major automotive manufacturers are committed to fuel cell vehicle production and they are making progress. One indicator of just how much impact the fuel cell revolution—when it comes—may have on the world economy can be seen in the comments of Sheik Yamani, Saudi Arabia's former oil minister. Yamani recently stated that he believed the "oil age" is coming to an end due to technologies like the fuel cell. "This will happen before the end of the decade and will cut gasoline consumption by almost 100%. Imagine a country like the United States, the largest consuming nation, where more than 50% of their consumption is gasoline. If you eliminate that, what will happen?" he said.
According to a New York-based research group, Allied Business Intelligence (ABI), the coming of automotive fuel cells will cause wild swings in oil prices. "By the second decade of this century, mass production of automotive fuel cells will result in first, a glut in the world oil supply and then, in a total rejection of oil as a vehicle fuel," said an ABI spokesman.
That is strong talk, which may or may not be supported by events. As I said, fuel cell development is proceeding, but it is by no means clear that we will all be driving around in fuel cell powered cars quite that soon.
DaimlerChrysler recently claimed that it would become the world's first automaker to launch fuel cell vehicles on the market. The company stated it will deliver fuel cell powered city buses in mid-2002, followed two years later by fuel cell cars. Interestingly, DaimlerChrysler also said that in two years it will start powering its Tuscaloosa, Alabama, M-Class plant with a stationary fuel cell generator, manufactured by its subsidiary MTU Friedrichshafen. According to Jurgen Schrempp, DaimlerChrysler chairman, the company will invest $1-billion in fuel cell development by 2004.
Though DaimlerChrysler's claims sound impressive, the fact is that city buses are relatively easy vehicles in which to install fuel cells; the real challenge is their use in cars. And DaimlerChrysler's fuel cell car launch target of 2004 is no sooner than any of its rivals. Indeed, Honda is claiming it will have a fuel cell car ready in 2003. In any case, the more important questions to ask are how many fuel cars will a manufacturer have available for sale to the public (not just to fleets), and for what cost?
Ford and General Motors are hard at work on fuel cell development and, like DaimlerChrysler, they face similar challenges. Having recently driven GM's experimental fuel cell car, the Zafira "HydroGen1", I can attest to both the progress being made and the problems still faced. GM claims the HydroGen1 is the world's most "operational" fuel cell car yet. The reason, says Dr. Erhard Schubert, director of Opel's Global Alternative Propulsion Center in Russelsheim, Germany, is that its "systems architecture is better and its stack performance is superior to its rivals."
Compared to a previous European-focused GM fuel cell project vehicle, which was also based on the Zafira compact minivan, the latest version differs in several important respects. Firstly, the Zafira's hydrogen is stored in liquid form in a 75-litre, insulated stainless steel tank located under the rear seat. The earlier concept derived its hydrogen from an on-board methanol reformer. Most importantly, the fuel cell stack itself has been reduced in size and is now claimed to be 15% smaller than rivals. The complete stack—comprising 195 single cells—and the 55-kW, three-phase AC motor, weigh just 68 kg and the whole assembly fits in the Zafira's standard engine bay.
The location of the liquid hydrogen tank raises the rear seat height 30 mm and also means the cargo area loses its fold away seats and sits 100 mm higher. But otherwise, Opel says the Zafira's functionality is unimpaired, and the company adds that computer crash simulations prove the tank's location would not be a safety hazard in an accident. Overall, the five-seat project vehicle's weight is 150 kg more than the standard Zafira's 1425 kg. With 251 Nm of torque available from standstill, Opel claims the fuel cell Zafira will accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 16 seconds. A top speed of 90 mph and range of 250 miles (impressive for the vehicle's size) are claimed.
Driving the car, one's main impressions are of its lack of noise—the fuel cell air compressor is the only prominent sound—and its swift rate of acceleration from rest. Unfortunately, a misbehaving sensor—the GM engineer did not know which one—would cause the drivetrain to shut down from time to time. From my brief drive it was clear that the concept is progressing—the HydroGen1 is more refined to drive than last year's DaimlerChrysler Necar4, for instance—but there is still much work to be done before such a vehicle can be offered to the general public.

The programmable logic controller (PLC) is a microprocessor-based system that accepts input data from switches and sensors, processes that data by making decisions in accordance with a stored program, and then generates output signals to devices that perform a particular function based on the application. The traditional motor control circuit is normally a hardwired system; therefore, any required circuit design change is a rather involved process in terms of material and labor.
With roots established in the manufacturing and automotive industries, the PLC was born out of a desire to automate the motor control process in a way that offered flexibility to make circuit design changes easier. The interesting challenge early on in its development was to design a programming language that would allow the industrial electrician a familiar way to communicate with the electronics of the PLC. This programming language would use symbols encountered in conventional ladder diagrams of the hard-wired variety.
The original purpose of the PLC was to allow electro-mechanical and electronic input devices to communicate with a computer that would perform logical operations on the input data and output a corresponding signal to some form of output device. (See PLC Logic Functions below.) To truly understand how a PLC works, you have to speak the same language. Let's take a look at how to make the translation.
Understanding inputs and outputs
The magnetic motor starter is the controller that operates the connected motor load. The 2-wire and 3-wire control circuits use various types of input devices to energize the starter's coil. These input devices use a momentary or maintained contact configuration.
Typical input devices are push buttons, proximity sensors, liquid level sensors, photoelectric sensors, selector switches, and pressure transducers. Typical output devices are contactors, magnetic motor starters, solenoids, pilot lights, and intelligent display panels. These output devices behave according to the connection of the input devices.
PLC operation is a function of these inputs and outputs. In the standard 3-wire control circuit, as shown in Fig. 1 on page 18, you'll notice a normally closed (N.C.) momentary stop push button, and a normally open (N.O.) momentary start push button. These contact devices represent the input function. The coil of the magnetic motor starter represents the output function.
The N.O. start push button energizes the coil of the magnetic motor starter, and the N.C. stop push button de-energizes it. Here, the PLC recognizes two input functions, which are the stop and start push buttons, and one output function, which is the coil of the magnetic motor starter.
In very simple terms, a PLC is designed to perform three tasks: check the input status, execute the program, and update the output status. The PLC checks the input status by scanning each input to determine if the connected device is on or off and then records that information in memory. Next, the PLC has to execute the user program (one line at a time) to make decisions. For example, suppose the user program tells the PLC to turn on an output device if Input #1 is on, and then turn off another output device if Input #2 is off. The PLC will analyze these conditions, execute the appropriate action, and then store that information in memory.
Lastly, the PLC has to update the output status. This means it will send data to an output device, such as the coil of a magnetic motor starter, to enable some type of manufacturing process to begin. The time it takes the PLC to go through this cycle is called the scan time.
The PLC uses a programming language based upon readily identifiable symbols common to motor control. Hand-held programmers or PCs are the most common methods for programming the PLC. Figure 2 on page 18 is an example of a programming code setup to perform an "AND" operation. Switch #1 and Switch #2 are connected in series to the coil of a relay. The first rung of the ladder diagram shows two inputs, namely Switch #1 and Switch #2, and an output, namely the relay. Each rung of the ladder diagram should contain input(s) and output(s). The input(s) should be the first listed instruction and the output(s) the last listed instruction. Usually, programming code requires the END command to be listed as the last instruction on the last rung of the ladder diagram.
The following specifications will give you a sense of the type of information that is important in the selection and application of the PLC:
80188 CPU 8MHZ clock speed
Input points — 16
Output points — 12
8226; High-speed counter — 10KHZ
Maximum user program — 1K
Registers — 256 words
Internal coils — 2560
Memory backup with lithium battery — five years
LED status indicators for I/O and CPU status
Scan rate — 18mS/1K of logic.

Sidebar: PLC Logic Functions
Ladder logic is the symbolic language of motor control. The binary number system has two numbers, namely "0" and "1." The "0" refers to a logic state low (OFF), and the "1" refers to a logic state high (ON).
Two logic functions most common in motor control circuits are the "AND" operation and the "OR" operation. The "AND" operation occurs when two contact devices are connected in series. For example, if two switches are connected in series, Switch #1 and Switch #2 must both be in the ON position for the load to be energized. In terms of logic, this means Switch #1 (Input # 1) and Switch #2 (Input #2) can either be in the ON or OFF position. When both switches are in the ON position (logic state 1), the load is energized. When both switches are in the OFF position (logic state 0), the load is de-energized.
The "OR" operation occurs when two contact devices are connected in parallel. For example, if two switches are connected in parallel, either Switch #1 or Switch #2 can be in the ON position for the load to be energized. In terms of logic, this means Switch #1 (Input #1) and Switch #2 (Input #2) can either be in the ON or OFF position. When one of the switches is in the ON position (logic state 1), the load is energized. A truth table is a graphical way of showing how inputs and outputs behave according to logic function. The "ones" and "zeros" in the table are binary numbers that represent ON and OFF states. (See the Figure below for logic function "AND" and logic function "OR" and the corresponding truth tables.)

Instruction Set Basics
As you might expect, the instruction set is very simple. The way it is laid out it is very easy to read and write the hex op codes directly (although I have a cross assembler I'll tell you about shortly). Figure 1 shows the basic format. Note that the functional units have an 8-bit address and a 4-bit subfunction code.
So an instruction that doesn't use registers and has no conditions looks like:
00 sSS dDD
Where SS is the source unit, s is the source sub unit, and the D's represent the destination unit and sub unit. Constants are easy to identify also. The short form takes advantage of the fact that if the condition mask is zero, there's no meaningful reason to have the condition match bits set. So a short constant will have a 1 in the first position and you simply have to mask the top bit off. So 1000003F is the constant 3F hex (note that the constants are sign extended to 32-bits so 18000000 is the constant F8000000). Full 32-bit constants start with 00000F01 followed by the full 32-bit constant (this requires two cycles to execute and does not respect condition codes).
Of course, the real meat to this processor isn't the format of the instructions, it is the possible values for the source and destination. Table 1 shows the standard functional units and their addresses. Note the constant functional unit is unit zero which allows for some mnemonic subfunctions. So 00000001 (source unit 0, subunit 0) loads a zero into the program counter while 00A00001 loads a constant A. Of course, that only goes so far and some of the subfunctions are just arbitrarily assigned.
Although every instruction is technically a move, you might prefer to give some mnemonic aliases to special moves (my cross assembler does this). For example, moving something into the program counter is a jump. A subroutine return involves moving the top of the stack to the program counter.
CPU Tools
You might be wondering: This all sounds interesting, but how can I implement a custom CPU? The answer is to use a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device. (For more on programmable logic devices like FPGAs, see my article Programmable Logic and Hardware).
In a nutshell, an FPGA implements a large number of logic cells and a programmable way to interconnect them. You can create your design by drawing schematics (only feasible for small designs) or by using a hardware description language (like Verilog, the language used to implement One-Der). A program running on a PC takes your description and converts it into a configuration of the FPGA's logic cells. The result is downloaded to the FPGA by the PC's parallel port. You can also download the result to a EEPROM which can automatically configure the FPGA on startup once you are happy with your design.
Working with FPGAs used to be very expensive. Today, vendors offer development boards that work with free software for well under US$100. My prototype of the One-Der architecture works on a development board available from Digilent (see Resources) that has the equivalent of about 1,000,000 logic gates (it costs a bit more than $100, but was well under $200). In addition to the Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA chip and assorted support functions, the board also contains some memory devices along with a handful of I/O devices such as switches, LEDs, and a serial port. Of course, none of these things do anything unless your logic makes them do something. The One-Der prototype can read the switches, light the LEDs, and implements a serial port you can use in your programs. It also provides 16 bits of general-purpose outputs and another 16 bits of input available on the board's edge connector.
If you aren't familiar with Verilog, you'll notice it strongly resembles C. However, the way it is handled is very different since the result isn't object code, its a hardware configuration. Consider the following C snippet:
x=a|b|~c; y=a&b;
This actually generates code that sets x at some discrete time, then sets y a short time later. After this code executes, x and y won't change unless the program reexecutes this code, or executes some other code that modifies x and y.
In Verilog you might write:
assign x=a|b|~c; assign y=a&b;
This will create several logic gates; one that drives the x output and one that drives the y output. These gates will constantly compute the equations in hardware and the value of x (or y) at any instant will reflect the current values of the inputs. There's no sequence of computations implied by the line order. The resulting logic is all in parallel.
You can specify gates directly or use other methods, but I find them all clunky compared to using assign. For completeness though, here's two other ways you could drive the x output equivalently:
or(x,a,b,~c); always @(a,b,c) x=a|b|~c;
All of these build asynchronous logic in Verilog. You can also create synchronous logic which make up the bulk of the CPU. With synchronous logic, everything is referenced to a clock pulse. This way outputs have until the next clock pulse to "settle" and you can build very complex logic without worrying too much about the different delays encountered by the various signals.
For example, consider generating parity on a serial bit stream. The idea is to use a flip flop to remember the current parity value. When the serial data arrives (at the rising edge of the clock) the new parity will be the old parity exclusive-ored with the data bit. Here's a Verilog module to implement this logic:
module serialparity(input clk, input reset, input data, output reg even, output odd) assign odd=~even; always @(posedge clk) if (reset) even=1'b0; else even=even^data; endmodule
This defines a module (like a parallel subroutine) that "executes" on each positive clock edge. If you read C, you can probably puzzle out most of the syntax. The 1'b0 means a literal zero that is 1-bit long (the b is for binary). In English, the module takes each data bit and exclusive or's it with the previous parity value to form the next parity value.
Of course, a complete Verilog tutorial is beyond the scope of this article, but there's plenty of resources on the Internet. The CPU is relatively simple, but it probably isn't the ideal first Verilog project. On the other hand, adding functional units and manipulating existing ones is well within the reach of the Verilog neophyte

We've received reports from readers that iHeartRadio has ceased to work correctly on Windows Phone 8. The popular radio app is a superb solution for those who enjoy tuning into an array of stations while on the go. It has in fact been delisted for Windows Phone 8 hardware, but is still available for those who are running Windows Phone 7.
We last looked at iHeartRadio when the app was updated and introduced Pandora-like playback functionality. It's a shame to see the app vanish without notice, but we've grown used to such instances on the Windows Phone Store. While this is likely due to issues with the app causing the team to pull the offering until a fix is applied, it would have been good to see some announcement prior to departure.
You can download iHeartRadio from the Windows Phone Store should you be using a Windows Phone 7.x handset. We've reached out to the team for official clarification on what's the status of the app.

G&L Savannah Collection
The G&L Custom Creations Savannah Collection
Imagine a late-summer sunset over the wild, beautiful African savannah. It's easy when you gaze at the Savannah Collection. It's the newest offering from G&L's Custom Creations™ Department, and it might be our most beautiful to date.
Start with the body. It's semi-hollow and it's Okoume, an extremely light, sweetly resonant wood with a lot of mahogany's warmth and a bit of maple's snap. Top this with a cap of Korina, which has always been prized for its open, articulate tone. The result: a strikingly light axe with striking tones across the entire five-guitar collection.
Okoume and Korina are native to the African savannah – hence the name. But the collection's distinctive finish – a golden-honey center and G&L's rich Old School Tobacco Sunburst with its red highlights – also suggests natural beauty.
Add in quarter-sawn eastern maple necks with pao ferro fingerboards, carefully selected and spec'ed pickups, and Plek fret dressing, and you have a one-of-a-kind guitar that's pure G&L.

Grae's Rating:
Satisfies the biggest appetite.
I didn't walk into this movie about child-on-child violence thinking it was going to be a jolly good time. But as a fan of all three Hunger Games books, and almost dying of anticipation for the movie release, I figured it would at least feel sort of "yee-haw!" in the same kind of cartoony way that Battle Royale, The Children, or The Devil Times Five does. Perhaps it would at least smell faintly of teen angst, Twilight style, or have some sweet, savory moments a la Harry Potter? But no. There's none of that here. For two hours and 22 minutes, I don't think I breathed once, because Hunger Games is brutal--and not for the reasons you expect. For a PG-13 movie, it gave me all the intensity of an R-rated one, making me feel like our little kid's movies are all grow'd up.
What separates this movie from the pack is a strong sense of rebellion and sticking it to the Man in a high-stakes environment. The evil Capitol that lords over the12 districts of this futuristic world rules with an iron fist, trying to smother the spirit of feisty girls like Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence). Undaunted, she finds ways around their oppressive rule. Anything you're not allowed to do Katniss does in the name of keeping her family fed and somewhat functioning after her father's death (which the Capitol indirectly caused). So when her younger sister's name is drawn to participate in an annual televised battle to the death between teens from each of the districts, Katniss volunteers in her place. Then she has to use her hunting skills and cunning to stay alive longer than anyone else…and kill some people, if it comes to that. And you know it will.
Just like any other story of this sort, there's a love interest (unfortunately, it's Katniss' opponent Peeta, played by Josh Hutcherson) and a coming-of-age vibe (because Katniss has to figure out how to drop the tough-girl act in order to win the favor of people who can help keep her alive). But set against a somber tone, gritty look, endless amount of close-ups, and shaky camerawork, it almost takes as much (emotional) work to watch the film as it would to play in the Games. The audience sits alongside Katniss for the entire time, squirming, shooting, and mourning with her. All of our own aggression and pain is on the screen, and like any great hero tale, we need Katniss to win for both herself and for us.
For people who have never read the book, the movie falls short in the main characters' development. As usual, if you want the really good stuff, you have to read the book. I mean, Running Man had some juicier characters, for crying out loud. But making up for that is that the adaptation comes really, really close to what's on the page. Mostly, I was sad to see certain tender scenes cut short. And even though it's purposely less brutal blood-wise, there's still plenty of fighting, knives, and tracker jacker wounds to last until the next one comes out.
