Saw this mysterious thing at Doctor Who News the other day: Council Is Ordered To Release Dw Records A tribunal has ordered Cardiff Council to hand over all its records to do with Doctor Who. A request under the Freedom of Information Act was made last year by journalist Christopher Hastings to see all documents between the BBC and the council relating to the series. He also wanted to see complaints about the programme that had been sent to the council, as well as all the relevant civic correspondence with utility firms and other public bodies. The council had refused to comply, saying that it would take longer than the 18 hours that legislation allows. That stance was rejected by the Information Commissioner so the council appealed to the Information Rights Tribunal. However, the tribunal ruled that Cardiff "failed to prove, on the balance of probabilities, that responding to Mr Hastings'...

One could easily make the argument that the hottest band of 1995 was Bush. Fueled by their debut album, Sixteen Stone, and massive singles like "Everything Zen," "Little Things" and "Machinehead," the English quartet took the American rock audience by storm. Despite seemingly constant nose-turning from critics, the group continued to put out consistently beloved music through the end of the century. Now, eight years after they broke up, frontman Gavin Rossdale has gotten the band back together — and he couldn't be happier.
"It feels really exciting and really like coming home," Rossdale told MTV News in the studio where he was putting the finishing touches on the brand-new Bush album, their first since 2001's Golden State. "Doing Institute and a solo record felt like leaving home, and while I enjoyed those things,...

How a little lab called Maya is giving firms such as Emerson and General Dynamics an innovation boost.
The engineer is holding his breath. Beside him, the project manager grimaces. A dozen Emerson employees, all in khaki pants and button-down shirts, are gathered -- silent and expectant -- around their teacher as he squints at their creations. Back in their real roles, making aerospace controls or medical machinery or marine valves at the $24.8 billion St. Louis-based manufacturer, these people are not often met with bewilderment. But then, they rarely bring raw ideas to consumers either.
Here, in the Pittsburgh offices of Maya ("most advanced yet acceptable") Design, a mashup of design firm and tech-research lab, these people are students. Given 30 minutes to imagine a TiVo-like car radio, they've built prototypes with construction paper, markers, and stickers. Chris Pacione, director of Maya's innovation boot camp, is playing an average consumer --...
