Home > Press > Cadence Announces New RF Technology to Ease Design of Nanometer Wireless Chips
Virtuoso Passive Component Designer Addresses Critical RF Challenges Through Proven Inductor Design, Analysis and Modeling
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), the leader in global electronic-design innovation, today introduced Cadence® Virtuoso® Passive Component Designer, a complete flow for the design, analysis and modeling of inductors, transformers and transmission lines. The new technology puts passive component design into the hands of analog and RF designers developing fast and complex wireless SoCs and RFICs. Starting from design specifications such as inductance, quality factor and frequency, the Virtuoso Passive Component Designer helps designers automatically generate the optimum inductive device for their specific application and process technology, resulting in higher performance and smaller area. A built-in accurate 3D full wave solver verifies the generated devices, eliminating the need for a dedicated inductor characterization run and reducing the design turnaround time.
Virtuoso Passive Component Designer is optimized for 90- and 65-nanometer process nodes, supporting advanced design rules and CMP constraints such as dummy metal fills and slotting. In addition to the wide variety of supported inductor and transformer geometries, it allows the design teams to define their own custom geometries graphically or manually using parameterized cells, or Pcells.
"Inductors and transformers are critical components in our high frequency integrated circuit. They have high impact on chip area and performance," said Hisaharu Miwa, general manager of the Design Technology Division, Renesas Technology Corp. "Our goal is to improve design productivity by considering the impact of inductors and transformers from the early design stages. We use Virtuoso Passive Component Designer because it addresses these challenges. Virtuoso Passive Component Designer provides an easy way to model and generate PDK components due to its integration in Virtuoso custom design platform and its accurate built-in electromagnetic solver."
Virtuoso Passive Component Designer is easy to use and does not require electromagnetic expertise. The output is a complete process design kit component with a symbol, schematic, layout and a simulation model. The built-in modeling capability converts S-parameter files into physical lumped element models, ready for RF analysis using Virtuoso Spectre® Circuit Simulator XL. The new Cadence technology also includes a fast and accurate coupling analysis capability enabling designers to optimize the placement of inductors and transformers on the layout resulting in smaller silicon area and higher yield.
"We immediately improved the frequency accuracy of our VCO designs to 0.9 to 1.9% once we adopted the Cadence RF Design Methodology Kit and began to use Virtuoso Passive Component Designer to accurately synthesize and model our inductors and transformers," said Dr. Aleksander Dec, vice president and co-founder, Epoch Microelectronics, Inc. "The combination of detailed inductor models from Virtuoso Passive Component Designer and accurate RLCK extracted views from QRC extraction enabled accurate full-chip sign-off. This represented a huge savings in both time and cost."
Virtuoso Passive Component Designer is tightly integrated into the Cadence Virtuoso custom design platform. The new technology is a component of Virtuoso Multi-Mode Simulation technology and follows the same flexible licensing scheme.
"The evolution of cellular phones and portable devices presents great challenges for analog and RF IC designers," said Srinivas Raman, corporate vice president, Virtuoso Custom IC R&D. "More and more complex analog and RF circuits need to fit in the same small lightweight handset, consume the same amount of battery power, and be produced with the same low cost of a single-band handset of the 1990s. Using the Virtuoso Passive Component Designer, analog and RF design teams can quickly create accurate passive components that meet design specifications, consume lower power and fit in smaller areas than pre-designed one-size-fits-all components."

Iran considering giving gold to parents to boost birth rate
TEHRAN, January 8, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a reversal of decades of promoting fertility reduction, the Iranian government is now trying to increase the country's disastrous birth rate by considering the possibility of giving gold coins to couples to encourage them to have children.
Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, the relentless preaching of the mullahs against large families and in favor of sterilization has resulted in the average birth rate plunging from about 3.6 children per family to a current rate well below the 2.1 children per couple needed for maintaining a stable population.
"If we move forward like this, we will be a country of elderly people in a not-too-distant future," said Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to an AP report.
"Why do some couples prefer to have one or two children? Why do couples avoid having children? The reasons need to be studied," the ayatollah said. "There was an imitation of Western life and we inherited this."
Following the 1979 revolution, Khamenei's advisers warned that if the birth rate was left unchecked, by 1990 Iran would be bursting with 140 million people.
With a present population of only 77 million and an approaching demographic collapse, the ayatollah now says the program has worked too well, and that Iran should have a population of at least 150 million people.
Click "like" if you are PRO-LIFE!
But some Iranian experts told the AP that gold coins are not enough incentive to persuade couples to have more children, citing an economy crippled by sanctions and a staggering inflation rate.
"A gold coin won't change couples' calculations," Mohammad Jalal Abbasi, head of Demographics Department at Tehran University, told AP. "Many young Iranians prefer to continue their studies, not marry. Lack of financial ability to buy a house and meet expenses are among other reasons why the youth postpone marriage or have no interest in raising many children."
In addition to the gold coin scheme, the government has passed laws increasing maternity leave from six to nine months, and giving fathers two weeks of paid paternity leave.
It has also axed many of its previous population control programs, such as government-sponsored vasectomies and subsidizing the cost of condoms.
Steve Mosher of the Population Research Institute (PRI) noted that the Koran, like the Torah and the Bible, strongly endorses the idea that babies are blessings and encourages strong families, and that most mullahs originally opposed not just abortion, but sterilization and contraception as well. However, he said, after the revolution the population control movement sought out and cultivated liberal Muslim clerics, encouraging them to rethink Islam's traditional encouragement of childbearing.
PRI's own research found that Iran's national population control campaign, in conjunction with the country's continuing economic turmoil, quickly made inroads into the fertility of the population.
"The fertility rate shrank dramatically, until by 2010 it stood at 1.6 children and falling," wrote Mosher in an article outlining Iran's demographic collapse.
"The United Nations now projects that Iran's population will peak in a little more than 10 years, and then begin to shrink. This is the U.N's low variant projection, historically the most accurate. The medium variant gives Iran 20 years before the population begins imploding. In the long run, it makes little difference," Mosher wrote.
"The ayatollahs, seeing the handwriting on the wall, have now changed their minds again.
"Confronted with the reality of an aging and dying population with no replacements in sight, they have begun encouraging more children. They have embarked upon a program of government aid, such as creating and funding a bank account for each child born. They have abolished their counterproductive birth control program.
"Would that they had left well enough alone," Mosher observed.

Planned Parenthood closes rural Iowa abortion facility because of low business
DUBUQUE, Iowa, May 3, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Planned Parenthood closed an Iowa abortion facility on Friday, noting low business that left the facility unsustainable from a financial standpoint.
Although Planned Parenthood of the Heartland announced in January that it planned to close the Dubuque, Iowa, office, pro-life sidewalk counselors were overjoyed on Friday to read the sign in the window that read: "Our office is closed, effective April 28, 2016."
The office did not perform surgical abortions but did provide medication abortions to the community of about 58,000.
"Rejoice with us for the lives of unborn children saved!" Iowa Right to Life said in a statement after the closure.
As with numerous other closures, Planned Parenthood, which styles itself a provider of "care no matter what," emphasized it was closing its doors to preserve its bottom line.
"After assessing the shifting health care landscape, changing demographics, and the challenges of operating in areas with low patient volumes, we made the tough decision to close the Dubuque Health Center," the group said in an announcement. "This change allows us to expand hours and see more patients in Cedar Rapids, where there is unmet demand due to lack of clinician hours."
"While we regret making this change, we know it is a necessary step in order to continue our mission to provide, promote and protect reproductive and sexual health through health services, education and advocacy. Patients have been notified, and if they wish, they can receive a broader array of services at our health center in Cedar Rapids, where we have expanded hours to accommodate more patient," Planned Parenthood said.
American Life League's vice president, Jim Sedlak, remembers speaking to the county right to life group nine years ago.
"I told them at the time that they needed to protest outside Planned Parenthood at least once a week," he said. "They told me they would do better than that. Over the last eight years, these dedicated pro-lifers were outside Planned Parenthood every hour it was open. And now...it's closed for good."
That aligns with advice that David Bereit, the founder of 40 Days for Life, once told young people who wanted to know how to end abortion.
Be loving and compassionate, he said.
"Your peaceful, loving presence out there flies in the face of all the stereotypes they want to throw onto us," he added. "When you show them love instead of condemnation, when you show them peace and joy instead of anger and judgment, that will begin to break down the walls."
Iowa Right to Life credited just such tactics with closing an office in Red Oak that performed webcam abortions. "Planned Parenthood shut down in Red Oak in large part because of the constant, prayerful presence outside their clinic," the group said.
Upon hearing of the latest abortion facility shuttering, the Dubuque County Right to Life said that Planned Parenthood isn't the only group that will move its base of operations. "We will probably put our efforts in Cedar Rapids and will continue to spread the pro-life message," said Executive Director Marian Bourek.

Ted Cruz confronted by mom who supports aborting disabled babies…just like hers
MARION, Indiana, May 3, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Senator Ted Cruz was met on the campaign trail by a mother who strongly opposed a state pro-life law that would have protected children with birth conditions – like her own.
Andrea DeBruler, a 41-year-old nurse, confronted the presidential hopeful in the city of Marion as Cruz campaigned with Gov. Mike Pence.
DeBruler first asked Cruz, then Pence, about House Bill 1337, which bans abortions performed due to the child's race, sex, or disability, such as Down syndome.
DeBruler held up a picture of her daughter, Jania, who was born with cerebral palsy. "This was a choice," she said.
She asked Sen. Cruz if he supported the bill, which made Indiana the second state in the nation to ban abortion for Down syndrome, after North Dakota.
"I'm not Governor Pence," he replied. "But I'll tell you this: I believe in protecting human life."
Pence, who endorsed Cruz in today's make-or-break Indiana primary, listened to her objections.
"I'm not here as a Republican, I'm not here as a Democrat. I'm here as a woman, a woman with choices, choices that you guys should not make," DeBruler said.
After hearing that she felt many families lacked sufficient resources to care for children, especially in an area like Marion, Gov. Pence offered to connect her with social services.
"God bless her," he said, looking at Jania's picture, "and God bless you."
Though it may be unusual to encounter a woman arguing for the right to abort her own child, the governor handled it calmly. Pence had specifically reflected on "precious moments" he spent with "families of children with disabilities, especially those raising children with Down syndrome" when he signed the bill into law in March.
"We are truly thankful for the passage of this historic legislation by the Indiana House and applaud the new civil rights protections this bill creates for unborn children, as well as the new provisions this bill establishes for the humane final disposition of aborted babies," Indiana Right to Life President Mike Fichter said at the time.
DeBruler told the UK media outlet The Independent that H.B. 1337 "means you can no longer have an abortion based on deformity. I'm against this law, because I think it should be a woman's choice" to abort for any reason.
Congressional Democrats made similar statements during hearings last month for Rep. Trent Franks' federal Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA), with Congressman John Conyers saying the bill is "patently unconstitutional," because a woman has the right to abort a child before viability for any reason.
Both leading contenders for the Democratic nomination expressed their displeasure with the law, which protects unborn children from racial or sexual discrimination, as well as discrimination on the basis of an inborn trait like mental capacity.
When Gov. Pence signed the law, Sen. Bernie Sanders tweeted:
The decision to have an abortion is for a woman to make, not the Governor of Indiana. https://t.co/1VOroXS2br— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) March 24, 2016
Hillary Clinton later said, "I commend the women of this state, young and old, for standing up against this governor and this legislature."
DeBruler told The Independent, despite her comment about not being a Democrat or a Republican, she is in fact a Democrat and will vote for Hillary Clinton in today's primary.

The moral challenge to Cardinal Wuerl in pending Notre Dame outrage
Ask Notre Dame not to honor pro-abortion Vice President Joe Biden. Sign the petition!
May 3, 2016 (CatholicCulture) -- In 2009, when the University of Notre Dame invited President Barack Obama to deliver a commencement address, dozens of American bishops lodged loud public protests. Yet this year, as Notre Dame prepares to confer an even greater honor on Vice President Joe Biden (together with former House Speaker John Boehner), the silence from the hierarchy is deafening.
Back in 2009, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Houston said that Notre Dame's invitation to President Obama was "very disappointing,", while then-Archbishop Timothy Dolan termed it a "big mistake." The late Bishop John D'Arcy, then leader of the Indiana diocese in which the university is located, spoke of "the terrible breach which has taken place between Notre Dame and the Church." For the first time in his 25 years of service to the Fort Wayne-South Bend diocese, Bishop D'Arcy declined to attend the Notre Dame commencement exercises; instead he addressed a protest rally organized by pro-life students, faculty, alumni, and staff.
These prelates and others explained their dismay by referring to the statement "Catholics in Political Life," released in 2004 by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. In that document, the bishops reflected on the need to maintain a consistent public witness in defense of human life, and therefore to distance themselves from public officials who support legal abortion. The statement set forth a clear policy that Catholic institutions should not give public honors to "pro-choice" politicians:
The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.
By giving President Obama an honorary degree and offering him an opportunity to speak at graduation, Notre Dame clearly violated that policy. University officials could offer only garbled partial defenses, claiming that they were honoring Obama not because he supports unrestricted abortion, but because he is President of the United States.
This year the university cannot offer even that lame defense of the decision to award the Laetare Medal to Vice President Biden. Unlike Obama, Biden is a Catholic, and by granting him this award the university is explicitly saying that the Vice President has "illustrated the ideals of the Church and enriched the heritage of humanity." In other words, Notre Dame is honoring Vice President Biden as a Catholic political leader despite his unwavering support for abortion and same-sex marriage.
Give credit to Bishop Kevin Rhoades, the current leader of the Fort Wayne-South Bend diocese, for raising a lonely voice of protest. "I believe it is wrong for Notre Dame to honor any 'pro-choice' public official with the Laetare Medal, even if he/she has other positive accomplishments in public service," Bishop Rhoades said. But if any other bishops have joined him in that rebuke to Notre Dame, I must have missed their public announcements.
Some observers, of liberal political sympathies, have argued that it is wrong to honor John Boehner, too, because the former Speaker disagreed with the US bishops' stand on immigration. This is a tired old argument, conflating disagreement with the bishops on a prudential political decision with defiance of Church teaching on a fundamental moral principle. But it is noteworthy that Notre Dame officials saw fit to make a joint award, no doubt in a cynical effort to dodge political criticism by choosing one honoree from each side of the political spectrum.
"We live in a toxic political environment where poisonous invective and partisan gamesmanship pass for political leadership," said Father John Jenkins, the president of Notre Dame, in announcing the Laetare Award recipients. (Notice the pre-emptive suggestion that those who criticize the school's choices may be engaged in "poisonous invective.") He went on to make a tortured argument that although Notre Dame is honoring two politicians, it is not honoring them for what they have done in their political careers:
In recognizing both men, Notre Dame is not endorsing the policy positions of either, but celebrating two lives dedicated to keeping our democratic institutions working for the common good through dialogue focused on the issues and responsible compromise.
By now we all know the familiar dodges. The politician claims to oppose abortion personally, but to feel a delicate reticence about imposing his views on others. He says that we must be willing to compromise (even on life-and-death decisions). He insists that he is not "pro-abortion" but "pro-choice."
That last bubble of rhetoric was unceremoniously burst by Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington, DC, when he celebrated Mass at Georgetown after Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richard had delivered a lecture there. "The word 'choice' is a smokescreen," he said, "behind which those killing unborn children take refuge. Every chance you get, blow that smoke away!"
Now Cardinal Wuerl himself has a chance to "blow that smoke away." As things stand, he is scheduled to celebrate Mass at the Notre Dame commencement, and to receive an honorary degree. He could pull out; he could absent himself from the ceremonies, to ensure that he does not become part of an event that pays homage to a "pro-choice" Catholic politician.
And there is a precedent. Back in 2009, the Harvard legal scholar (and former US ambassador to the Holy See) Mary Ann Glendon was chosen to receive the Laetare Award. But when she learned that President Obama would be speaking, she announced her decision to decline the award. Clearly annoyed that her presence might be used to quiet the critics of the honor for Obama, Ambassador Glendon wrote that she did not want to be used as a counterweight, nor did she see the Notre Dame commencement as an appropriate venue for a genteel debate about legal abortion:
A commencement, however, is supposed to be a joyous day for the graduates and their families. It is not the right place, nor is a brief acceptance speech the right vehicle, for engagement with the very serious problems raised by Notre Dame's decision—in disregard of the settled position of the U.S. bishops—to honor a prominent and uncompromising opponent of the Church's position on issues involving fundamental principles of justice.
Could Cardinal Wuerl do this year what Ambassador Glendon did in 2009? Even at this late date, his withdrawal would send a powerful message of support for the right to life: an unmistakable rebuke to politicians who hide behind the smokescreen that the cardinal himself identified. To be sure, if he did withdraw, the cardinal would be caught in an avalanche of public criticism; he would suffer for his public witness. But there is a reason why cardinals wear red.

The Hamilton-born, Melbourne-based 22-year-old beat bookmaker's favourite Missy Higgins, indigenous star Jessica Mauboy, Lanie Lane and Megan Washington to claim one of the most sought after accolades.
She was presented with the award by British comedian Russell Brand, after his mother read out the winner's name while accompanying him on stage.
"What a whirlwind year it's been and what an amazing way to top it off, to be acknowledged for this record I started making in Melbourne at 17,'' Kimbra said.
"I want to thank all the fans out there that came to see me play back in those days," she said, before paying tribute to her management, band and record company.
Kimbra came to prominence at the annual celebration of Australian music last year when she collaborated with Goyte on the hugely successful single Somebody That I Used To Know.
Gotye, also known as Wally de Backer, won four ARIAS including Best Pop Release for "Making Mirrors" - Kimbra was nominated in the same category for the title track of her album "Vows".
He also won the Best Live Act, Best Male Artist and Album of the Year ("Making Mirrors") to cap a command performance.
Retaining the best female artist award continued a memorable 12 months for Kimbra, who has toured the United States, won the grand prize at an international songwriting competition in the spiritual home of country music, Nashville, and seen her profile rise exponentially after appearing on several US talk shows.
She also stole the show at the New Zealand Music Awards earlier this month, winning five awards: Album of the Year, Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Best Female Solo Artist, Best Pop Album and the international achievement award.

Don't forget: Anyone receiving federal benefits must switch to electronic payments by March 1
Monday, February 4, 2013
The federal government is phasing out paper checks, and anyone who receives Social Security, veterans benefits, railroad pensions and federal disability payments will need to switch to direct deposit by March 1.
You have two options for making the switch: direct deposit or a debit card. With the first option, your money will be deposited directly into the bank account or credit union of your choice. With the debit card option, you'll receive a Direct Express Debit MasterCard, a prepaid debit card issued by the treasury, onto which your benefits will automatically be deposited each month.
To switch, visit www.godirect.org or call 800-333-1795; or visit your bank or federal benefit agency office. If you don't make the change yourself by March 1, the government will automatically send you a Direct Express card in the mail.

Cape's downtown music festival shrinks
The City of Roses Festival has lived to see its eighth year in Cape Girardeau. But to continue as planned on Sept. 24 and 25, it is being scaled down because of organizational problems faced by the Music Heritage Association, which sponsors the music festival.
"We just didn't have anybody who wanted to take the bull by the horns," said Doc Cain, association member and chairman of last year's festival. According to Cain, some of the people who have helped to organize the festival in the past have decided not to continue this year.
"It's been difficult to get someone to head the festival," he said. "This year when we started talking about the music festival it came down to two people -- me and Don Greenwood."
Cain and Greenwood, this year's festival chairmen, announced plans for the festival at a Wednesday night meeting at Port Cape.
One of the biggest changes involves getting rid of the main stage and not hiring a featured performer. Instead, this year's festival will focus on local and regional bands, who will play on three outdoor stages placed at the corners of Water and Independence streets, Water Street and Broadway, and Water and Themis streets.
Another change puts downtown clubs in charge of booking their own entertainment. The clubs will not have to pay a fee to participate, unlike years past.
There will also be no corporate sponsorship of this year's festival and no form of ticket sales. Instead, donations will be requested near each of the stages.
"We sat down and looked at the problems we've had in years past and eliminated them one by one," Greenwood said of the planning for this year's festival.
That meant getting rid of the barge on the Mississippi River that served as the main stage for the last two festivals. The barge cost $11,000 to outfit with sound and lighting equipment, Cain said.
Another sore point has been the relationships between bands and the clubs where they've performed.
"The clubs are unhappy with the bands and the bands are unhappy with the clubs, it's a nightmare," Cain said. "It's always been a problem."
This year, clubs that would like to participate in the festival will be in charge of getting their own entertainment and asked not to charge a cover.
"There's no other way to do it other than what Doc said," said Bob Camp, who served as chairman for the first festival in 1997.
The success of previous festivals has been mixed. Last year, the association lost about $3,000, probably due to poor weather conditions, Cain said.
In 2002, however, the festival brought in about $4,000 and in 2001 it broke even.
Cain said he believes this year's festival could bring in $3,000 worth of donations. The association is already getting some donations to help get the festival going.
"Everything we've been paying for before will now be donated or offered at a reduced cost," he said.
Shivelbine's Music Store has offered to set up the sound for the stages, and Chuck McGinty of McGinty Jewelers has donated the use of his sound equipment. As for the bands, Cain said they have always reduced their prices for the festival.
Cain said that about 45 bands could play on the three outdoor stages during the festival and possibly another 11 or 12 in the clubs. On Sept. 24, the festival will run from 6 to 11 p.m., and from noon to 11 p.m. Sept. 25.
The stages will likely be divvied up according to musical style. That means a metal-punk stage, a jam band-blues stage and a pop music stage.
"We're going to put the emphasis on local talent, which was the original emphasis," Greenwood said.
Camp said planning for the 2005 festival needs to start as soon as the 2004 festival is over, including working on procuring sponsorship.
"We can't bring someone in with a national name right now because we don't have the money or sponsorship right now," Cain said.

Friday, 10 June 2011
NOAA and the Department of Commerce rolled out their new national aquaculture policies (http://aquaculture.noaa.gov/us/aq_policies.html) on Thursday, plus two additional steps designed to foster U.S. aquaculture development.
One is a National Shellfish Initiative that aims to boost commercial shellfish production. The other will implement the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Plan for Aquaculture (http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/ocs/mafac/meetings/2008_11/docs/aquaculture_ph_updated_8_28.pdf) — which includes the regulatory infrastructure needed for developing open-ocean aquaculture in the gulf.
Officials say the aquaculture policies will position the United States to help meet growing global seafood demand, create jobs in coastal communities and restore vital ecosystems. They also aspire to create trade opportunities and restore the nation's $9 billion seafood trade imbalance.
We import 84 percent of our seafood, the commerce department says, with foreign aquaculture accounting for about half of it. U.S. aquaculture on the other hand, supplies about five percent of domestic seafood consumption. According to Mike Rubino, manager of NMFS' aquaculture program, shellfish accounts for 80 percent of U.S. commercial marine aquaculture.
Encouraging aquaculture development in the United States, officials add, will also complement commercial fisheries and protect wild-caught species and the marine environment.
But will encouraging aquaculture development provide all the benefits being touted?
Rubino said Thursday that in the United States, the bulk of shellfish aquaculture businesses are small to medium-sized companies developed by fishing industry-related families. The shellfish initiative will build on that base, he said, and on opportunities for those existing businesses.
Great — everybody loves programs that create jobs (especially politicians up for re-election in a struggling economy). However, it's difficult to reconcile NOAA's enthusiasm for creating aquaculture jobs with its championing of fisheries management policies that thin fleets, eliminate fishing jobs and have a negative effect upon the economies and industry-related businesses of coastal communities.
Then there's the prospect of open-ocean aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico. Under the aquaculture management plan, offshore farm operations can raise all species native to the region except shrimp and corals.
There's been greater opposition to finfish aquaculture, which the plan says could produce up to 64 million pounds annually. Fishermen and environmental groups are concerned about aquaculture's potential impact upon wild stocks and the marine environment.
It might be a moot point, given the expense of developing offshore fish farms. Start-up costs are estimated to be between $5 million and $10 million.
A U.S. aquaculture program could co-exist with and (gasp!) even benefit wild-caught fisheries — if it's done right. It might help boost domestic seafood consumption and move it north of the 16 pounds per capita mark that's been the norm for years.
But fishermen likely will want to know more about finfish aquaculture development in the Gulf of Mexico before giving their support. After all, a cynical fisherman might wonder how the same agency that's done such a crackerjack job of promoting development of the U.S. fishing industry will do any better at promoting aquaculture.

These days, more and more formerly "free" search engine traffic comes with a cost attached.
Search engines provide free traffic to site operators, but these days, more and more formerly "free" traffic comes with a cost attached. In concert with its subsidiary Overture Services Inc., which has made a business of selling top positions in search results, Yahoo Inc. has launched a new paid inclusion program for commercial site operators that provides a direct feed into Yahoo's index. The Content Acquisition Program targets deep and dynamic content less easily found by web crawlers and ensures it a place in the index – for a fee. In addition to a cost per click paid by all program participants, the program charges content providers that submit pages to the index under a self-service model an additional flat fee per URL submitted.
Paid inclusion that also charges a cost per click represents yet another expense for marketers fighting to be found on the web, but in an increasingly crowded web universe, such expenses are increasingly part of the ticket. "There's a strong perception that search engines are essentially public utilities, but they're not. They are companies that make money by pointing consumers towards resources on the web, so clearly search engines need to be increasing the number of searches that are commercial," says Gary Stein, senior analyst at Jupiter Research Inc.
Overture's Chris Bolte, vice president of strategic alliances, says that by giving program participants a structured method for providing information to Yahoo Search, including technical support on formatting content or actually producing feeds into Yahoo's index, CAP removes what has been the mystery of dealing with search engines. "The interaction between search engines and content providers has been something of a guessing game. We're trying to make it clear and structured so content providers know how to operate," he says.
But figuring out how search engines work has made a business for providers of natural search engine optimization – so where does the proliferation of paid inclusion programs that uncloak some of that mystery leave them? For one thing, many such companies have expanded beyond natural search optimization services into a broader advisory role that provides strategic counsel on all search engine marketing, paid and unpaid. And they point out that simply paying to be in an index does not guarantee any place in search result listings, let alone that critical first page of results.
Outside of paid keyword positions, ranking in search results is still determined by the search engine's relevancy, and each engine's criteria for relevancy differs, based on unique algorithms. And while paid inclusion programs can diminish the mystery of formatting content to make it more digestible by a search engine's web crawlers, the mystery of the engine's proprietary algorithm remains.
"Inclusion is not ranking. And Yahoo will not reveal its ranking algorithms to advertisers, period," says Fredrick Marckini, CEO of search engine marketing firm iProspect. "They are not giving away the keys to the kingdom. So that means search marketing firms will continue to advise clients on strategies to ensure that the included content attains top ranking on relevant keywords and then help marketers optimize that spending."
Similarly, search engine marketing firm OneUpWeb's CEO, Lisa Wehr, says paid inclusion programs such as CAP don't render natural search obsolete. "To be competitive Yahoo has to have a search spider that actively crawls the web and provides fresh, updated content in natural search results. Otherwise, it's an engine that is full of nothing but paid listings," she says. Under that scenario, she adds, Yahoo's listing would be no different from any yellow page listings. Yahoo, meanwhile, has said its goal is to index all web content, paid or not.
While natural search and non-paid listings will continue as key parts of search engines' indexes for competitive reasons, what's likely is that engines will continue to look for new ways, like the expansion of paid inclusion, to monetize traffic. And where does that leave online marketers that depend on that traffic, and increasingly, pay for it? "It's hard to deny that this is just a cost of doing business on the web," says Stein.

Is there more to life than money?
22 May 2011 22:38 GMT | Latin America, Mexico
For years Mexico's Tijuana was a battlefield where drug lords ruled the streets – that is until police chief Julian Leyzaola took charge of the force in 2007.
After a sustained attack on the cartels, seizing tonnes of narcotics and rooting the police force of corrupt officers, he turned his attention to Ciudad Juarez – regarded as Mexico's most violent city.
But his endeavours have not been without controversy and the police chief faces accusations of abuse, torture and human rights violations - even from a fellow police officer.
Now many question whether the superintendent can defeat the cartels in Juarez - and if human rights abuses will be the price of that victory.

DEEPCOOL GAMMAX S40 CPU Cooler Review
Final Thoughts
The DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX S40 is everything it was touted to be on the front of the box. It fits all the latest and currently supported CPU sockets, even some that aren't. The cooler is compact and very user-friendly, since it comes with thermal paste pre-applied and only requires four screws for the hardware and you are just a step away from running with this cooler. Some may think that the push-pins are sort of a pain in the butt, but come on, this isn't rocket science. And I like that you don't have to remove the motherboard or have to juggle it as you try to apply some of the socket hardware offered on other coolers. DEEPCOOL makes this as friendly of a user experience as possible, and does it all without too much interference on the rest of the system.
There are a couple of issues as I see it with my sample. The heads on the screws used for the hardware could be better checked before you send someone hardware that looks like it was already used once, and not with the right tools. The second issue I have is that you will lose access to the closest memory slot if you have anything with a heat spreader on it, and the way memory comes today, good luck finding ones without them. The last thing is less of an issue and more something I noticed about the airflow in the GAMMAXX S40 - it was something I felt in testing once I saw that we were peaking at the 83 degree mark. As I put my hand behind the cooler, I felt nothing - no air flow. What I found is that all of the air is being collected by the pipes and being thrown out the side of the cooler. Had DEEPCOOL closed off the ends of these fins, even with a single fan, they could have gotten much better results, as it would force the air to finish its job, and not stop halfway through.
DEEPCOOL was able to still impress me with such a small cooler, and maybe it is because I tend to see all these cooler competing for the top spot. It is somewhat comforting to see a cooler like many of them were when I started reviewing coolers. Simplicity, ease of use, able to handle my mini-furnace of a processor without letting it throttle, pretty quiet in the grand scheme of coolers, and can be had for $30.
DEEPCOOL shows that sticking to the basics can be successful when things are priced accordingly with what you are getting, more people would look to purchase these. With all the hype surrounding the Hyper 212 series of coolers, there is a new god in the yard that is looking for attention and may just have what it takes to dethrone CM and the cooler that has sold I'm guessing close to a million coolers by now.

Protests greet shoppers at Wal-Marts nationwide
AP Business Writer
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Wal-Mart workers and supporters marched in protest at stores nationwide Thursday and Friday, blasting the wages, benefits and treatment of employees at the world's largest retailer.
The efforts seemed to do little to keep shoppers away though _ Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it was its best Black Friday ever.
In Paramount, Calif., authorities arrested nine people, including three Wal-Mart employees, for blocking a busy street outside a store there. Sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker said they were cited and released on misdemeanor charges.
At its height, authorities said, the Paramount protest drew about 1,000 people.
"A lot more people showed up than I anticipated, but that just shows you the kind of support we have," said Wal-Mart employee Carlton Smith, who added he was one of 19 store employees taking part. "We have a common interest in making this great company better."
Several hundred demonstrators marched into the street shortly before noon, Parker said, but almost all followed deputies' orders to return to the sidewalk. He said the nine taken into custody told deputies beforehand they planned to be arrested and didn't offer any resistance.
In Lakewood, Colo., shoppers hesitated as they passed dozens of protesters outside a Wal-Mart but entered without incident. Some protesters held signs playing off of the retailing giant's corporate slogan, "Live better," accusing the company of corporate greed and underpaying its workers.
"This is the way you get a fair shake. You've got to fight for it. You've always had to," said protester Charlie May, of the Industrial Workers of the World labor organization.
A union-backed group called OUR Walmart has said that it is holding an estimated 1,000 protests in 46 states. The exact number is unclear. Wal-Mart has refuted that estimate, saying the figure is grossly exaggerated and that the protests involved few of its own employees.
A number of demonstrations and walk-outs occurred last week at stores but were scheduled to culminate on one of the year's busiest shopping days.
OUR Walmart, made up of current and former Wal-Mart employees, was formed in 2010 to press the company for better working conditions.
The retailer filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board last week against the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. The company said that the demonstrations organized by OUR Walmart threatened to disrupt its business and intimidate customers and associates.
Wal-Mart said roughly 50 employees participated in the events Thursday and a "few dozen" took part Friday. Company spokesman Dan Fogleman said the number of associates who missed their shifts during the two days of events was 60 percent lower than last year.
"It was proven last night _ and again today _ that the OUR Walmart group doesn't speak for the 1.3 million Wal-Mart associates," the company said in a statement.
The union group estimated that "hundreds" of employees participated nationwide.
Victoria Martinez, 29, marched in front of the store in Paramount on Black Friday. The Wal-Mart photo department employee worked her shift on Thanksgiving but skipped work Friday to "speak out." She said the company shows a lack of respect for employees, noting that she faced retaliation by local managers after speaking out about problems during an open discussion sponsored by the head office.
"I believe that when I started at this company, it was great," said Martinez, who has worked for Wal-Mart for seven years. "They've taken away everything that is great."
Wal-Mart for many years has faced intense scrutiny over its wage and benefit policies and treatment of its workers. Fogleman says that the company provides some of the best jobs in the retail industry and that its wages and benefits typically meet or exceed those of competitors. The retailer maintains that it has many long-term employees and that its turnover rate is below the industry average.
The company, based in Bentonville, Ark., operates 10,400 stores in 27 countries.

am I paying to much? (long)
if its 8 hours a day x 2 days.. thats like $7something per hour, to watch 2 kids... not bad.. and she has to pick them up and drop them off with her own car too. i'd say its fair. anyway, shes kinda family so even if you pay her $25 more than a stranger, its worth it
I've never had to pay family and never charged family when I babysat. If you're going to pay that much to her for 2 days you might as well hire a professional for 5 days a week.

I think it depends on your region where you live and how much per hour you earn... When I was still working, $7 per hour would have been 7/10 of my gross earnings, not worth it for me to work, IMO. But that's up to you :) Good luck!

Middle East
Islamic State militants have killed at least 500 members of Iraq's Yazidi minority, burying some alive and taking hundreds of women as slaves, an Iraqi government minister says.
Human rights minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani accused the Sunni Muslim insurgents - who have ordered the community they regard as "devil worshippers" to convert to Islam or die - of celebrating a "a vicious atrocity" with cheers and weapons waved in the air. No independent confirmation was available.
Islamic State's advance through northern Iraq has forced tens of thousands to flee, threatened the capital of the Kurdish autonomous region and provoked the first US air strikes in the area since Washington withdrew troops from Iraq in late 2011.
Sudani said in a telephone interview that news of the killings had come from people who had escaped town of Sinjar, an ancient home of the Yazidis, a Kurdish-speaking community whose religion has set them apart from Muslims and other faiths.
"We have striking evidence obtained from Yazidis fleeing Sinjar and some who escaped death, and also crime scene images that show indisputably that the gangs of the Islamic State have executed at least 500 Yazidis after seizing Sinjar," he said.
"Some of the victims, including women and children were buried alive in scattered mass graves in and around Sinjar."
President Barack Obama said on Saturday that US air strikes had destroyed arms that the Islamic State, which has captured swathes of northern Iraq since June, could have used against the Iraqi Kurds. However, he warned that there was no quick fix for the crisis that threatens to tear Iraq apart.
Kurdish regional president Masoud Barzani urged his allies to send arms to help his forces hold off the militants, who have bases across the Syrian border. During a visit by French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, Barzani said: "We are not fighting a terrorist organisation, we are fighting a terrorist state."
In comments likely to put pressure on Washington to step up its response to Islamic State, Iraqi rights minister Sudani said: "The terrorist Islamic State has also taken at least 300 Yazidi women as slaves and locked some of them inside a police station in Sinjar and transferred others to the town of Tal Afar. We are afraid they will take them outside the country.
"In some of the images we have obtained there are lines of dead Yazidis who have been shot in the head while the Islamic State fighters cheer and wave their weapons over the corpses," he added. "This is a vicious atrocity."
A deadline passed at midday on Sunday for 300 families from the Yazidi community - followers of a religion influenced by the Zoroastrianism of ancient Persia - to convert to Islam or die. It was not immediately clear if the victims to whom the minister referred were from that group of families.
US military aircraft have dropped relief supplies to tens of thousands of Yazidis who have collected on the desert top of nearby Mount Sinjar, seeking shelter from the insurgents. Early reports suggest US airstrikes have bolstered the Kurds in their fight with Islamic State militants.
At the Vatican, Pope Francis held a silent prayer for victims of the Iraqi conflict, who include members of the Christian minority, during his weekly address on Sunday.
"Thousands of people, among them many Christians, banished brutally from their houses, children dying of hunger and thirst as they flee, women kidnapped, people massacred, violence of all kinds," he said.
"All of this deeply offends God and deeply offends humanity."
Speaking before US warplanes struck militant targets for a second day on Saturday, Obama said it would take more than bombs to restore stability, and criticised Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Shi'ite-led government for failing to share power with Iraq's Sunni minority, which dominated before the US invasion.
France joined the calls for Iraq's feuding leaders to form an inclusive government capable of countering the militants. "Iraq is in need of a broad unity government, and all Iraqis should feel that they are represented in this government," Foreign Minister Fabius said.
"All Iraqis should feel they are represented to take part in this battle against terrorism," he told a news conference with his Iraqi counterpart in Baghdad.
Maliki's critics say his sectarian agenda has prompted heavily armed Sunni tribes to join the insurgency. But Maliki, serving in a caretaker capacity since an inconclusive election in April, has defied calls by Sunnis, Kurds, fellow Shi'ites, regional power broker Iran and Iraq's top cleric to step aside for a less divisive leader.
The pressure from France came a day after Obama described the upheaval in the north as a "wake-up call" to Iraqis who have slipped back into sectarian bloodshed not seen since a civil war peaked in 2006-2007.Nearly every day police report kidnappings, bombings and execution-style killings in many cities, towns and villages.
The Islamic State, which sees Shi'ites as infidels who deserve to be killed, has met little resistance.
Thousands of US-trained Iraqi soldiers fled when its Arab and foreign fighters swept through northern Iraq from eastern Syria in June.
