Author: Jim Carroll, Chairman, BBH London
This is the second of a two-parter by Jim. For the introduction to Wind Tunnel Marketing, check out his earlier post here or read both pieces in today's Campaign magazine (available on campaignlive.co.uk next week). As always, we'd like to know what you think – please share any thoughts in the comments.
1. Seek Difference In Everything We Do
"Is it different?" has been relegated to the last question, the afterthought, the bonus ball. But the last should be first.
We should tirelessly seek difference in the people we talk to, the questions we ask, the processes we follow. "Is it different?" should be the first question we ask when we look at work – both in terms of content and form.
2. Kick Out the Norms
We've become addicted to backward looking averages. But norms create a magnetic pull towards the conventional. Norms produce normal. The new frontier doesn't have norms, but it does have endless supplies of data, and a rich diversity of tools with which to mine it.
We should create a data-inspired future, not a norm-constrained past.
3. Only Talk to Consumers who are Predisposed to Change
Where there is change, there are people that lead and people that follow. In research we mostly talk to followers, because there are more of them and they're cheaper. But ultimately they are less valuable.
If we're seeking to change markets, shouldn't we talk exclusively to change makers?
4. Embrace Insights From Anywhere
We've lived for too long under the tyranny of consumer insight. Of course consumer insight can be engaging, but it can also be familiar.
Surely insights can come from anywhere and we're just as likely to find different insights from an analysis of the brand, the category, the competition, the channel, and, above all, the task. (more…)

TOPEKA, Kan. – A task force studying public education in Kansas is expected to recommend a review of collective bargaining laws and how they impact the ability of administrators to manage schools.
"Several members of the Task Force indicated superintendents believe teacher-negotiated agreements limit management flexibility," according to a Kansas Association of School Boards email newsletter.
The School Efficiency Task Force, an initiative of Gov. Sam Brownback, is expected to deliver its recommendations to the governor soon, and members have declined to discuss the details until they do, the Lawrence Journal-World reports.
A Brownback spokeswoman, however, confirmed the task force will recommend a review of the Kansas Professional Negotiations Act.
The move comes after the KASB laid out its legislative agenda calling for a limited revision of Kansas' collective bargaining law to eliminate teacher evaluations as a subject of negotiations. The change would give school officials the authority to devise evaluations with some teeth using student growth as a determining factor.
EAGnews has repeatedly argued that allowing teachers unions to negotiate the terms of evaluations for their members makes little sense, and essentially creates an opportunity for union officials to water down accountability measures.
Currently the vast majority of teachers – more than 97 percent in some states – are rated effective or highly effective each year due to evaluation systems that rely too heavily on pre-planned classroom visits. Teachers have weeks to polish lesson plans, pick out their best outfits and prepare for the big day, so we're not surprised most are given a thumbs up.
We believe by utilizing student test scores and other important factors, administrators can develop a much better picture of how each teacher is performing.
Public schools should be focused on educating students. It seems like common sense that student achievement should play into employment decisions.
But common sense is something that's often lost in the collective bargaining process, and we commend Brownback's task force for acknowledging that fact.

Why I started blogging-a scientist's perspective
Posted on December 19th, 2012 in Essays, Force11, Maryann Martone, News & Events, NIFarious Ideas | 8 Comments »
by Maryann Martone
A recent post at the London School of Economics Social Science Impact blog on "Finding the time to blog" reminded me that I wanted to write a blog about why I started to blog. The use of social media and its proper place in academic communications is being discussed in many circles. Over at FORCE11, we aggregate quite a few blog feeds like the one from LSE where these issues are thoroughly covered. I wanted, however, to share a personal perspective. Like many scientists, I suspect, I was at first reluctant to blog. I did write a few posts for the NIF blog when we started it up, but then stopped because "It takes too much time". Each blog took me several weeks before I was happy with it and, as is well advertised, blogs don't count towards academic promotion, etc. So if I was going to spend that amount of time, I might as well spend it towards something that does count: writing papers, giving talks, training, teaching, networking and, oh, doing research. Besides, who would want to hear what I had to say?
Well, the astute reader might have noted that many of our rewarded activities involve someone (funders, conference organizers, students) actually paying to hear what we have to say. And, the astute reader might also note that a blog is a much more effective communication vehicle than most of these for accomplishing these tasks. I started to blog for real when I realized that a blog is my communication with the world. A lot of money has been invested in me as a vehicle for knowledge acquisition and integration. The more I share that with the world, the better I do my job. A blog is not a learned treatise which needs to carefully consider all angles, acknowledge all references in a specified format and go through rounds and rounds of editing to craft the language so as to offend nobody with unsupported statements. A blog is a written yet highly interactive version of the type of conversation I engage in every day with students, colleagues, audiences. It is my thoughts on a topic, developed over a lifetime of active inquiry, open to correction and discussion. You can believe them or not, just as you choose to believe them when I am speaking to you in an informal or formal setting.
But unlike these other forms of transient communication, where my words evaporate into the air, blogs live on the net. They are searched by Google, so they can be found easily. And they are living things, open to comment, discussion, updating. Once I realized what a blog could be, I could fire one off in a matter of minutes. Do I get some things wrong? Sure. But isn't that why we communicate with each other in science, so we can try to put our thoughts in order in a way where flaws can be exposed? It was a magical moment when I read over a blog that I had posted earlier and realized that I had left out a part of the argument. Oh no! But then I just opened edit and put it in. But what if I misrepresent some part of an argument or forget to acknowledge someone? Isn't that why we have peer review? Well, if you want peer review, just read the comments. Usually, someone will correct you if they care enough. And again, you can immediately acknowledge that input and modify your posting or post a new one. So rather than blogging taking me away from my job, I actually think it lets me do it better. It is a freeing form of communication. Scientists generally are interesting people, but you would never know it from the articles they produce. But you do when you get them talking. And that, imho, is what a blog should be: scientists talking for everyone's benefit.
Well said!
…and also if you believe the economists, when you blog about your work it actually increases the amount of downloads etc.
I especially like what you said, "A lot of money has been invested in me as a vehicle for knowledge acquisition and integration.The more I share that with the world, the better I do my job."
So true.
Thanks Debbie!
It's always surprising finding out who wants to hear what you have to say.
But for whatever reason, glad you're blogging and we're able to read whatever we can – your posts can inspire as well! You reach so many young minds online. We need more like you.
Tweeted to my followers @NE1UP and followed you!
All the best,
Thank you Thomas! Receiving comments on a blog posting is so reinforcing.
Paul Prinsloo
Maryann, thanks for this reflection. Great points.
My first blog for 2013 was a post "Why I blog" – and someone Frank de Langen (OU Netherlands) referred me to your post.
Maryann Martone
Thanks Paul. We apparently are not alone. I just found another good blog about why you should blog: http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2013/01/14/advice-for-potential-academic-bloggers/
Peter Hammill once wrote a song called "Red Shift", citing "Scientific Alienation" as the topic for that song. It has always been one of my favorite terms and very apropos to what you are blogging about. Well, Dr. Martone, you seem to be on a true and steady course to breaking down the walls that "Scientific Alienation" has erected for so many years. Bravo and stay the course.

Nagini Mary GrandPré's illustration of Nagini in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.Nagini (Hindi: nāginī, pronounced [ˈnɑːɡɪniː]; variant of Hindi: nāgin, a female cobra, from Hindi/Sanskrit: nāg, a cobra) is a serpent used by Voldemort to create his final Horcrux.[17] Voldemort intended Nagini to be his sixth Horcrux, which would have split his soul into seven pieces, a number he considered to have magically powerful properties.[17] Since he had inadvertently made Harry into a de facto Horcrux (a fact he had not known), Nagini was in fact his seventh Horcrux,[17] although only six Horcruxes survived at any one time since the diary had already been destroyed. He cast the spells needed to create the Horcrux after murdering Ministry official Bertha Jorkins.[21][20] As with his diary, Voldemort intended Nagini to be a tool as well as a safeguard to his immortality.[17] Nagini is introduced in the first chapter of the Goblet of Fire.[21] The snake is killed by Neville Longbottom in the final chapter of The Deathly Hallows.[17]
Voldemort is able to communicate with Nagini due to his ability to speak Parseltongue, the language of snakes.[22] Readers are first introduced to Nagini when the snake is the first to notice Frank Bryce, an old gardener who had worked for the late Riddle family, and alerts Voldemort to Bryce's presence.[21] During the fourth year Harry spends at Hogwarts, Voldemort's temporary body is sustained by Nagini's venom, harvested by Peter Pettigrew.[21] In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry takes a direct viewpoint of Nagini's attack on Arthur Weasley in one of his dreams, feeling that he (Harry) himself is the snake.[23] Albus Dumbledore believes this to be due to Harry's special connection to Voldemort, with Harry's witnessing the attack by virtue of the fact that Voldemort's mind "happened to be" in Nagini at the time.[23] This is the first indication of Nagini and Voldemort's deeper connection, having the ability to share each other's thoughts, and share them with Harry as well.[23]
In the final book, Nagini consumes Charity Burbage, a Hogwarts Muggle Studies professor, after the Killing Curse is used on her.[17] Nagini is later placed inside the body of Bathilda Bagshot by Voldemort, and uses the hiding place to launch a surprise assault on Harry when he visits Godric's Hollow.[17] Because some snakes can sense heat and movement in a way humans cannot, Nagini is able to detect Harry and Hermione even when they are under the Invisibility Cloak.[20] After discovering that Harry is searching for his Horcruxes, Voldemort places Nagini into a protective magical cage to prevent her from being killed, but still uses her to slay Severus Snape by expanding the cage over and on top of him.[17] When Harry is apparently killed by Voldemort, Nagini is released from the protective enchantment and is draped around Voldemort's shoulders during the Death Eaters' victory march back to Hogwarts.[17] After Neville Longbottom openly defies Voldemort, Voldemort punishes him by forcing the Sorting Hat on his head and setting it on fire.[17] The Death Eaters are then attacked and a battle ensues, and Neville pulls Godric Gryffindor's sword from the Hat and beheads Nagini.[17]
Since she was Voldemort's last remaining Horcrux, her death sets up the series' climactic duel between Voldemort and Harry Potter. With no Horcruxes remaining and, therefore, rendered mortal, Voldemort's death in that duel is final.[17]

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Silence may be golden this Christmas, with an internet campaign lobbying to make experimental composer John Cage's noteless "4'33''" Britain's seasonal number one this year.
Dubbed "Cage Against the Machine," the Facebook campaign with some 29,000 supporters so far is modeled on a similar movement last Christmas that helped Rage Against the Machine to the top of the UK singles charts.
That prevented hot favorite Joe McElderry, who had won the 2009 edition of the popular "X Factor" television series, from grabbing the coveted position, and ended the show's recent domination of Christmas charts.
Cage's 4'33'' is described as a three-movement composition for any instrument or combination of instruments, and the score tells performers not to play at all. Cage said the point was to listen to the other sounds that fill the silence.
"They better not fade the ending out like they usually do on the radio," said one Facebook supporter online.
According to the Sun tabloid, fans can buy the track from December 13.

The processor switch module (PXM) becomes unresponsive after 466 or more days. Users are unable to use the change card (cc) command to get to the card, and statistics collection slows down or stops. The standby PXM may not get updates. In some instances added ports may not register on the PXM.
Note: For the purposes of this field notice, the term PXM refers to all the modules listed in the Products Affected section.
This anomaly is the result of mishandling a system clock rollover. Depending on which tasks are scheduled beyond when the rollover of 0xF0000000 occurs, different symptoms will be manifest.
The operating system simultaneously maintains two independent datastructures which are used to keep an accurate representation of the time. One of these is a 32-bit counter which reflects the number of ticks (one tick is equal to ten msec) since the card was reset. This counter will rollover every (2^32/100) seconds, which is equal to 497.1 days. By itself, the clock rollover is handled correctly.
As part of its realtime preemptive multitasking environment, the operating system allows tasks to schedule delays. This feature is used extensively by MGX appliation software. The issue described above arises when a delay is scheduled to expire after the 32-bit counter rolls over. Due to a bug in the operating system, when this situation occurs the clock will jump ahead by the amount of the scheduled delay. Depending on the value of the delay, this jump can be very larg. Vvalues as large as 31 days are used in application software.
A discontinuous jump in the time can have far-reaching and severe consequences. Since this jump is local to the card, inconsistencies arise between the card and external entities, such as statistics collectors. More dangerous is the fact that tasks with regularly scheduled activities will have their timers expire at unpredictable times, often immediately. As a result, activites which should occur at regularly spaced intervals will occur in rapid-fire sequence. This failure of the timer infrastructure leads to excessive CPU utilization and message flooding, resulting in severe degradation of the node.
The symptoms are various. Users may not be able to cc to the card. In some instances statistics tasks may not run. Database anomalies may occur. In some instances, the system date may change to another date often jumping to a date one month ahead.
Logical core dumps off Statistics Collection Manager (SCM) sequence mismatch are created for almost all slots.
Core dumps can be observed by executing the command core. See the following example:
Slot Reset Reason Dump Time ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 Logical Error - SCM Sequence Mismatch SAT FEB 22 15:53:56 2003 1 Logical Error - SCM Sequence Mismatch SAT FEB 22 15:57:31 2003 2 Logical Error - SCM Sequence Mismatch SAT FEB 22 15:59:23 2003 3 Logical Error - SCM Sequence Mismatch SAT FEB 22 15:43:57 2003 4 Logical Error - SCM Sequence Mismatch SAT FEB 22 15:51:37 2003 5 Logical Error - SCM Sequence Mismatch SAT FEB 22 15:52:40 2003
Evaluating whether your PXM1 is subject to this anomaly. Determine how close the 466 day threshold is by using taking the following steps.
Log into shell by using the shellcon command
Execute sysClkTickGet command.
The response will appear in both decimal and hexidecimal notations.
mgx11.1.7.PXM.a > shellcon -> sysClkTickGet sysClkTickGet value = 132375064 = 0x7e3e218
If the hexadecimal value is greater than or equal to 0xF0000000, then the card is immediately vulnerable to the problem and a switchover should be scheduled immediately. Note that if the counter has exceeded 0xF0000000, then the MGXs connection database may not yet be affected. See section titled Secondary Checks for further information.
If the value is less than 0xF0000000, then the number of days' uptime can be computed by computing from the shellconn prompt: /100/60/60/24.
The value of this computation is the number of days the card has been up. Prior to card being up for 466 days, a redundant switchover should be induced. Note that when the standby card becomes active, its clock does not reset but continues incrementing. Two consecutive switchovers will be necessary to reset clocks on both PXMs.
Note that if the problem has already manifested itself, submitting a return merchandise authorization (RMA) for a replacement PXM card set will not help since the MGX will need to be recovered manually. Waiting for an RMA to arrive will simply delay the recovery process. Instead of opening an RMA, use the Recovery Procedure detailed below.
Follow this procedure to reset both clocks. This activity should be done prior to 466 days and only if the problem has not manifest itself.
Reset standby PXM1.
Wait for standby PXM1 to come back to standby state. The clock on the standby PXM1 will be reset back to initial time after the reset.
Switch active and standby PXM1s. Use the command switchcc.
Wait for formerly active PXM1 to come to standby state.
The formerly active PXM1 will re-initialize the counter after the switch over thus delaying the onset of the greater than 466 days wraparound.
Note that any switchover on the PXM1 will result in a re-initialization of the formerly active PXM1s clock.
This anomaly will require changes in the operating kernel as well as in PXM1 software. Monitor CSCea28215 (registered customers only) for resolution of this issue
Preventative Procedures:
It is recommended that the customer execute switchcc on each PXM1 once a year to reset the system clock. This activity should be accomplished once a year until a software is loaded that resolves this anomaly.
Secondary Checks:
Prior to executing the the Recovery Procedure below, it is recommend that Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) be contacted to access and run the checks to see if the MGX connection database is corrupted. Having the TAC perform this additional check may mean the difference between experiencing payload traffic outage or a graceful recovery.
Recovery Procedure:
If the greater than 466 days clock problem occurs, then the MGX switch must be rebuilt. RMAs will not resolve or avoid this traffic-intrusive measure. Waiting for the submitted RMA PXM1s to arrive will delay implementation of the recovery procedure and therefore RMAs should be avoided. The following recovery procedure should be executed through the MGX console port.
Save the switch configuration. This step may be skipped if the configuration has been saved recently.
Clear the MGX configuration.
Warning: From this point until the end of this procedure, the switch will not be passing traffic.
Reset both the PXM1s. In single PXM1 nodes, the single PXM1 must be reset.
Wait until the PXM1s come back to active and standby, if redundant.
Restore the saved configuration to the switch. From this point forward the MGX should be passing traffic normally.
Verify access to, and responsiveness of, command line interface. Verify traffic is passing normally.
Monitor bug ID CSCea28215 (registered customers only) for resolution.
Until software is released that resolves the counter wraparound problem, schedule switchcc at regular intervals prior to rollover of the over 466 day threshold.
To follow the bug ID link below and see detailed bug information, you must be a registered user and you must be logged in.

The workaround is for these cards is the same as the PXM1 workaround:
In order to avoid this issue, a redundant switchover, or failing that, a reset must occur before the card has been up continuously for 466 days. This can be determined using the VxWorks shell, using the following procedure:
From shellconn, execute the command sysClkTickGet()
The value will be displayed in both decimal and hexadecimal. If the hexadecimal value is greater than or equal to 0xF0000000, the card is immediately vulnerable to the problem and a switchover should be scheduled immediately
If the value is less than 0xF0000000, the number of days' uptime can be computed by computing from the shellconn prompt: /100/60/60/24
Prior to card being up for 466 days, a redundant switchover should be induced. Note that when the standby card becomes active, its clock continues incrementing, so 2 consecutive switchovers may be necessary to reset both clocks.
To summarize, here is the decision tree for implementing the workaround:
for each active controller or affected switch module (SM)
calculate uptime for active controller card
if approaching or exceeding 466 days
switch to redundant card
calculate uptime for newly active controller card
if approaching or exceeding 466 days
switchcc again
This hierarchical approach is acceptable because a standby card cannot be up longer than its associated active card.

Cool question.
It depends. Sometimes all day via IM. Sometimes just a couple times. It's rare that I hear from him only once late in the day or not at all. I figure that's when he's super busy, or stressed out, in a bad mood and just needs space. We work together and for a while we'd also see each other several times a day. But my boss told him to stop. Good thing he has an office I can visit instead. And we have meetings we have to be in together maybe twice a week.
No MAS.
I am the new Black.

Fjallraven - Greenland Winter Jacket
With days like today, I'm really starting to think I could user a more serious jacket. Hooded and lined with fleece, this thing is perfect for Oklahoma winters... but maybe not California's.

The Bronx
Bronx (IV) (SHOCK/WHITE DRUGS)
The Bronx return to their punk roots, after the past two fabulous albums as Mariachi El Bronx (both self-titled) that provided a fun contrast for the band. The fact they could confidently check both boxes of diametric genres of music assertively and professionally, means now suddenly that gap isn't so wide to traverse. What was straight up hardcore punk has now given way to punkish hard rock; two-minute songs are now three minutes - and dare we say more accessible.
The fourth self-titled Bronx album still features plenty of raw energy and aggression but just more of a predictable pop chord progression. Style Over Everything is a good example. Screaming and swearing where appropriate and swinging into the chorus with a three key-change style. More than anything, this album feels a little more anthem-oriented and frankly, stadium rock.
While Bronx IV is made mostly of driving rockers (The Unholy Hand, Too Many Devils, Under The Rabbit) it also contains a couple of power ballads: Torches and Life Less Ordinary. It's not quite Fall Out Boy, but it might be Fall Out Boy versus the Hives. Oh well.

Injuries taking major toll on Vanderbilt's season
The season-ending hamstring injury to Vanderbilt starting quarterback Larry Smith is one of just many injuries to key players that have contributed to the Commodores' disappointing 2-7 season.
TE Austin Monahan suffered a season-ending ACL Oct. 17 against Georgia. S Ryan Hamilton (torn pectoral muscle) and OT James Williams (broken ankle) have not played since being injured Sept. 12 against LSU. Three weeks ago at Army, LB Tristan Strong suffered a season-ending knee injury. In all, 12 Commodores are out for the season or have missed a significant portion of the season with injuries.
To make things worse, Vanderbilt is the only school in the SEC and one of only nine nationally that will play on 12 consecutive Saturdays this season - without an off week.
"There's been a bunch, for injuries and other reasons, we've lost a great many of players that we were counting on this year,'' Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson said. "One other year, I think when I was a head coach at Furman, we had a similar year with probably about the same results. But it's a situation where somebody has to step up and take the place of those players you were counting on and you have to try to prepare them as best you can when that happens. You try to dig deep down in your depth, or lack of depth, and try to get some players ready to go.''
Vanderbilt will play at Florida, Saturday at 7:15 p.m., on ESPN2.

Brooklyn, NY, US
My name is Henry Tolman. I am a native Rhode Islander who went to school in Westchester County at SUNY Purchase and I am now living in Brooklyn. In doing so, I have recently come across the opportunity of working with you as a junior designer.
I have been looking for a company that is creatively smart and team oriented so that a multifaceted designer and communicator such as myself would be able to contribute in such fashions. Thus far in my career for the past three years, I have worked hard to depict my interests and strong suits, which I can say has been molded and twisted through the number of experiences for the better in terms of an understanding for good design and strong sensibility in hopes to simplify and distill a company's objectives, strategies, branding, marketing and vision.
I use the newest Adobe Suite CS6 programs with Mac and PC knowledge along with iWorks, Excel, Power Point, Final Cut Pro and web design as well. My ideal goal is to work in a thriving environment to think, learn and work differently. I want to surround myself with smart people while utilizing great opportunities, which is something I think that you have to offer.
Below is a link to my website, which includes additional information about myself.
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you soon!

Syria aid resolution still looks distant
As Western and Arab nations prepared to push for a UN Security Council resolution calling for better access to aid in war-torn Syria, Russia said on Wednesday that now was not the right time for such a move.
The United Nations says some 9.3 million Syrians, nearly half the population, need help and UN aid chief Valerie Amos has repeatedly expressed frustration that violence and red tape have slowed the delivery of humanitarian assistance to a trickle.
"We're against moving to a resolution now on the Security Council. That's as clear as I can put it," Russia's UN Ambassador, Vitaly Churkin, told reporters. "It's not a good time to have any resolution discussed in the Security Council."
Western members of the 15-member Security Council have been considering a resolution on aid for almost a year. After months of talks, the council eventually made a non-binding statement on October 2 urging more access to aid.
But that statement produced only a little administrative progress, such as visas for aid workers and clearance for convoys. No action has been taken on big issues such as the demilitarisation of schools and hospitals, and access to besieged and hard-to-reach communities.
After a first round of peace talks in Geneva last week failed to reach a deal on aid to some 2500 Syrians trapped in the besieged Old City of Homs, Western and Arab nations said they planned to press for a legally binding resolution.
Western council diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a draft resolution could be circulated among council members as early as this week.
However, Churkin made Russia's position clear on Wednesday, saying, "we believe it's a wrong move".
The United Nations says more than 100,000 people have been killed in Syria's conflict, which began in March 2011 with popular protests against President Bashar al-Assad and spiraled into civil war after a crackdown by security forces.
Russia, a close ally of Syria, and China have used their Security Council veto power three times to prevent action against Assad backed by the remaining three veto powers - the United States, Britain and France.
Western council diplomats said a draft resolution would include most aspects of the council's October statement, which urged Syria to allow cross-border aid deliveries and called on the combatants to allow pauses in fighting to help humanitarian aid convoys. The draft would also call for access to besieged areas such as Homs.
"We are determined to move ahead. We expect to circulate the text of a resolution this week," said a senior U.N. diplomat. "We're not aiming for a Russian veto. We're aiming for a resolution that everybody can agree. That is what we want."
But Churkin called for more work before considering a resolution on aid access.
"We believe hard, pragmatic and purposeful work is necessary in order to have a practical result," he said. "We have been working very hard on this with the humanitarian agencies, with Valerie Amos, and I think some results have been achieved.
Amos, who has been calling for stronger action by the Security Council, is expected to brief the council on the situation in Syria next week.
Syria on Wednesday missed a deadline to hand over all the toxic materials it declared to the world's chemical weapons watchdog, putting the programme several weeks behind schedule and jeopardising a final June 30 deadline.
At the same time, opposition activists say the Syrian air force is attacking the country's biggest city, Aleppo, with barrel bombs, forcing many to flee. Turkey was turning away some of those refugees because camps were now full.
Under a deal reached in October between Russia and the United States, which helped avert a US-led missile strike against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, Syria agreed to give up its entire stockpile of chemical weapons by February 5.
Russia said on Tuesday its ally Damascus would ship more chemicals soon, but Western diplomats said they saw no indications that further shipments were pending.
Syria has said it would submit a handover timetable to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which won the Nobel Peace Prize last year, but gave no indication of when that would happen.
There have been no shipments since January 27 and the latest deadline was missed, said OPCW spokesman Michael Luhan. "It's a status quo until we get this plan."
In Washington, White House spokesman Jay Carney said the United States was "absolutely not" concerned that the chemical weapons agreement was falling apart, but added that "Syria must abide by its commitments."
"I would note that Russia has said it expects the Assad regime to deliver a substantial portion of its chemical weapons stockpile in the relatively near future. And we obviously believe that's very important," Carney said.
Carney added that Russia "obviously has a great deal at stake" in the Syrian government fulfilling its responsibilities under the US-Russian agreement.
Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal al-Meqdad said on Wednesday Syria was trying to meet its obligations.
"Syria is proceeding with all determination, strength and credibility to fully implement the agreements with the UN-OPCW," the Syrian national news agency SANA quoted him as saying.
In an apparent reference to clearing a road through disputed territory to the northern port of Latakia for shipment abroad, Meqdad said "there can be no leniency at all when it comes to transporting chemical weapons out of Syria."
British Prime Minister David Cameron said he was worried that the chemical weapons handover was behind schedule, and British diplomats said they planned to raise the matter at the United Nations Security Council on Thursday.
"Britain will continue to put pressure on all parties to make sure the chemical weapons are produced and destroyed," Cameron told parliament in London.
Syria had already missed a December 31 deadline to relinquish the most poisonous chemical agents, including mustard gas and sarin precursors.
So far, Syria has transported slightly more than 4 per cent of the 1300 metric tons it reported to the OPCW. The two small shipments of chemicals are being stored on a Danish vessel in the Mediterranean.
Under the US-Russian agreement, prompted by a sarin gas attack near Damascus that killed hundreds of civilians, Syria has until June 30, or another five months, to completely eliminate its chemical weapons programme.
Washington blames the poison attacks on the Assad government and threatened military retaliation.
Damascus has blamed the delay on security problems and the threat of attacks by rebels on road transports to the northern port of Latakia. It has requested additional armour and communications equipment.
But the United States and the United Nations, which is jointly overseeing the destruction programme with the OPCW, said last week Syria has all the equipment it needs to carry out the operation and should proceed as quickly as possible.
The next major deadline is March 31, by when the most toxic substances are supposed to be destroyed outside Syria, on a special US cargo vessel, the Cape Ray.
On Thursday, the head of the joint mission, Sigrid Kaag, will brief the United Nations about the operation in New York.
With the UN Security Council divided over imposing sanctions against Syria, some diplomats believe the threat of force may be the only way to get Assad to relinquish his weapons of mass destruction.
US official said the use of force has never been taken off the table, but French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius went a step further in recent comments.
He told Europe 1: "It's not on the agenda, but when you have a government ... when a government makes commitments before the international community, it must respect those commitments."
Asked if that was a warning, he replied: "Yes."
On the border with Turkey, Syrian families without passports were being turned away because a refugee influx caused by intensified "barrel bombing" in Aleppo filled up its camps, the Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) said.
One of the Syrian opposition's most vocal allies, Turkey has taken in hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees.
But resources have been stretched after Assad's forces intensified attacks on Aleppo, dropping barrel bombs and slowly winning ground against rebels weakened by weeks of infighting.
"Camps in Kilis are at full capacity unfortunately, but there are free spaces in our other camps," a press officer for Turkey's state AFAD disaster agency said.
Ankara is sticking to its "open border" policy and refugees will be accepted "following necessary security controls", the press officer said.
A camp inside Syria near the Syrian Bab al-Salam border crossing, 50 km north of Aleppo, is also full, IHH's Kilis media officer said, adding that numbers there had risen to 25,000 from 14,000 in the last week.
Turkish police at Oncupinar border post across from Bab al-Salam said restrictions applied to those without passports, but that the crossing was open, with no big crowd at the gate.
The use of barrel bombs - oil drums or cylinders packed with explosives and metal fragments dropped from helicopters - was condemned by Syria's opposition delegation and its Western backers at last month's peace talks in Switzerland.
Further east, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that for the last 18 days Turkish authorities have prevented more than 2000 refugees, including women and children, from crossing into Turkey after fleeing the city of Raqqa.

Celebrity's Solstice is one beautiful ship, HOWEVER, the company boasts that women were instrumental in the design process for its staterooms. It's hard to believe that any woman would have been happy with the amount of closet space allotted. We cruised 2/8/09 and stayed in a Concierge Class cabin. The closet was so small that our hanging clothes were crushed; our formal wear required pressing before it could be worn. The vanity space was also inadequate. This was our 12th cruise (fourth with Celebrity), so we have a lot to compare against this cabin.
On the bright side, though, the Hot Glass Show (glassblowing demonstration) put on by the folks from Corning Class Works was superb! We saw the show on the first full day (Monday) and went back for almost every show thereafter. The process was fascinating, and the presenters were professional, entertaining and very informative. The only bad part: once word got around the ship about this excellent presentation, the crowds grew and there wasn't enough seating for everyone. Our suggestion: GET RID OF THE "LAWN" (yes, it's a novelty, but a real waste of space, and not very ecologically minded as well, as it appears the "lawn" has to be replaced frequently, it seems to take a lot of water and maintenance to keep it looking decent, and it really serves no purpose---passengers are not allowed to put deck chairs, blankets or towels on it, so what's the attraction?) There's a putting green on the port side and another small area on the starboard side which could be utilized for bocce ball, so the "lawn" really isn't necessary. Instead, the space allocated to the Hot Glass Show could be increased to give the demonstrators more room to work and add a LOT more seating, possibly a bleacher-type system so that folks in the back row get as wonderful a view as those in the front!

This is the kit that enables young mechanics and auto enthusiasts to build and display a working 1/10 scale model of a four-cylinder internal combustion engine. The kit has over 100 ABS plastic parts that fit seamlessly together using the included tools. The definitive auto repair reference since 1965, a Haynes Manual guides construction with complete, step-by-step instructions and vivid, clearly printed diagrams. A transparent cylinder block enables young mechanics to see how the connected parts work in concert to power a vehicle. Lubricated with small applications of vegetable oil, the engine operates using a small battery-powered electric motor (requires two AA batteries) which makes an ignition sound while firing the spark plugs; the valve sequence cycles, the pistons move, the shaft rotates, and the timing belt moves with the radiator fan belt. Each cylinder illuminates during the detonation cycle. Ages 12 and up. 8 1/4" H x 10 1/2" W x 5" H. (2 1/4 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Internal Combustion Engine Kit comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.
