What's a nine-letter word for a significant event? Try MILESTONE.

Longtime crossword constructor Bernice Gordon is marking two big ones: She turned 100 on Saturday, and The New York Times will publish another one of her puzzles on Wednesday -- making her the first centenarian to have a grid printed in the newspaper.

"They make my life," Gordon said. "I couldn't live without them."

Gordon has created crosswords for decades for the Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and others, including puzzle syndicates and brain-teaser books from Dell and Simon & Schuster. She still constructs a new grid every day.

Gordon is nearly as old as the crossword puzzle itself. The first "word-cross" appeared in the New York Sunday World on Dec. 21, 1913; it was diamond shaped and didn't even separate clues into "Across" and "Down."

The grids have evolved a lot since then, thanks in part to Gordon. She's credited with pioneering the "rebus" puzzle, which requires solvers to occasionally fill in symbols instead of letters. Her first rebus in the Times used an ampersand to represent the letters AND, so an answer like SANDWICH ISLANDS was entered as S&WICH ISL&S.

Though now considered standard fare, such a trick was unheard of when it first appeared decades ago. Letters poured into then-crossword editor Margaret Farrar, who forwarded some to Gordon.

"She got hundreds of letters, some screaming that they never saw anything worse and it was cheating," Gordon said. "And the others (said) how wonderful it was. It's something new. It was an innovation."

Gordon was born in Philadelphia on Jan. 11, 1914. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, she raised three children before working as an artist and traveling around the world. She began creating puzzles in her 30s because she liked the challenge and it offered some extra pocket money.

Press release

Nordex now also selling Generation Delta in Turkey

Contracts for a total of 37.6 MW for Turkey signed / total order intake from Turkey amounts to 160 MW in 2013

Hamburg, 14 January 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2013 the Nordex Group has been awarded three new contracts for a combined capacity of 37.6 MW in Turkey. Included in these are the first six N117/3000 generation Delta turbines for this growth market. The second contract also marks a new development as it is the first time that a customer from Turkey has ordered four N117/2400 light wind turbines.

In summer 2014, Nordex will be supplying six of its N117/3000 turbines for the 18-MW Cesme RES project, which is located on a peninsular close to Izmir. Nordex only launched the N117/3000 in spring 2013. This turbine is specifically designed for medium-strong wind conditions and will achieve an above-average capacity factor of over 38% at Cesme RES. The customer and future owner of the wind farm is ABK Cesme Enerji retim A.S., which is already active in renewable energies.

Named Aliaga RES, the second project is also located in the Izmir region and comprises four N117/2400 turbines. However, with average speeds of 7.0 m/s, this location has IEC III wind conditions. Even so, this wind farm will also reach a capacity factor of around 36% thanks to its technical configuration. The investor here is Akca Holding, with activities in textile, energy, food and automotive sectors, committed to sustainable business operations. Construction is scheduled for summer 2014.

YOC AG to receive EUR 1.4 million in loan financing

Berlin, 14 January 2014 - YOC AG (Frankfurt, Prime Standard, ISIN DE0005932735) announces it has signed loan contracts with shareholders in the company.

Under the debt financing arrangement, YOC AG is to receive a total of EUR 1.4 million in several instalments. 'We thank the shareholders involved for their support as we implement our restructuring plan,' said Dirk Kraus, CEO of YOC AG. This obviates any need for an increase in share capital in the short term.

While the restructuring measures that have been initiated are aimed primarily at bringing about significant improvement in profitability and optimizing the product development process, the present loan financing is the first element in a long-term corporate financing plan.

The steps initiated by YOC beginning in September 2013 had already resulted in mildly positive results by the fourth quarter of 2013. An increase in revenues and a massively reduced cost structure are expected to result in considerable improvement in operating results for financial year 2014.

YOC is currently building up its product portfolio and network of publishers, reshaping its organisational structure and creating new key positions. The company is concentrating its product development work in three areas:

1. Automated trading in mobile advertising space in the programmatic selling area
