Our interview with creative director John Jay, recognized this year among other legendary creatives George Lois, Louise Fili and others. See part one here.
There's a lot of magic in the client/creative relationship, and sometimes a lot of tension. The typical origin myth for that dynamic comes in the form of assuming business needs and creative needs are fundamentally opposed. But it can't be that simple.
These days clients are under so much pressure. They're like baseball managers — they last maybe two years. You have to have empathy for them, put yourself in their shoes. Creatives love to complain about the client but unless you can understand what sort of pressure they're under you can't solve their problem. This is why, as a creative, you have to also have a business mind — so you can solve business problems in a way that means something, that has substance.
When you sell a company, or go public, that culture dissipates. This "culture" we keep talking about, it starts with the independents. In the Northwest that's the secret sauce, that we're wildly independent. We're not in the shadow of Madison Avenue, we don't have the pressure of our immediate surrounding industry and community saying "that's how everyone does it, this is how it's done." Wieden didn't germinate in a big city, and that allowed us to grow as a team in this independent environment. How do we live up to that responsibility? By standing by a truly creative culture, in an open studio where we encourage the unexpected and that which questions ideas at their core.
What are you looking for when you're building a team?
With team building we use our own people, we send people all over the globe either to work or to find like-minded and inspired people to work with. Sometimes it's the influence of a very young person with fresh talent, passion and a unique point of view. Talent combined with craft is a huge deal. The industry pendulum swings so far, so now everything is about the idea — well, of course everything is about the idea, but you have to activate the brain cells that connect your hands to actually make something.
In TV marketing and culture, you have the luxury of hiring the makers, but chefs don't just sell their recipes, they actually use them and make them and get their hands in it.
Wieden + Kennedy has acted as a sort of unwitting catalyst for a kind of "failure-positive" philosophy and culture in advertising. An emphasis on that which can come out of being willing to fail, by whatever standards, and discover something unexpected — to "show up stupid every morning" as WK12 put forth. It seems like this culture is both a result and source of some of the generative tension between creative and commerce. It involves doing shit that scares you, really, which is not a very traditional business model. How do you seek out stuff that scares you?
Well I'm not sure we actually seek failure or seek what scares us, but you know when the alarm goes off. If an idea seems perfect and just right, like all our work is done — if you can tie a bow on it, that scares me. An alarm goes off. And you have to have the experience to know you're not pushing it enough.
We pitched a client recently and were watching other agencies leave after their pitches with their envelopes and tubes full of work they were presenting in response to the brand's brief. And we had to say, you know we don't really have anything yet because we don't feel your brief is right. And yeah, maybe you're going to blow it right there, but you have to lay it on the line: "We don't believe in your brief. We believe you want to be successful and we don't think this is the right path." They're hiring you for your point of view. There were mostly senior WK members there, but some newish members as well, and they were sort of mortified before we went in, like "You can do that? You can say that?" The newer members had come from other agencies, and after that experience, they were like, "I can see now that this is what WK is all about."
So it's a risk, but what if you win an account based on work you don't feel good about or that's based on something you don't believe in, then you have to actually live it out! You know — if we're going to get fired, let's just get fired now. You might as well get fired for what you believe in.
There's a quote by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, "What I'm proudest of is having a life where work and love are impossible to tell apart." In a way, it's a very old school idea — not very synchronistic with modern day capitalism. But somehow it feels like more of a human birthright that a luxurious form of freedom.
You have to do work you believe in if you're going to really be able to solve someone's problem. It has to feel right — you must do work you're proud of. When people ask me, so John what do you want to see from such and such a photographer or artist, I say, "I don't even know you! I don't know what I want to see! Show me work you're proud of!" Sure, you might have a photograph on the cover of TIME. I don't care about a TIME cover, I care about a great image. If it happens to be a great image that's on the cover of TIME, that's fantastic, but it has to be something I respond to emotionally. I'm not overwhelmed because someone was on the cover of TIME. If I feel their agent has been editing their portfolio or trying to show work that will somehow appeal to me or our team, it's not what I'm looking for. I want to see what the person is most proud of. If that ends up being vacation pictures of his two-year-old daughter, then so be it.
That's where the energy comes from. Standing behind good work, always wanting to be better — this is just a part of being a human being. I don't get off of work and think, "Oh now I get to finally rest, or I guess I'll go look at something interesting." If I'm doing my job well, I'm experiencing something inspiring and interesting each day. I'm active and inspired and the boundary between work and not work doesn't exist. When you can't tell if you're working or playing, then you're onto something.
Life is all about change through an evolution grounded by our values. Change without values and values without a willingness to adapt can both become an emotional and intellectual trap.
This is an exciting time. It is the most creative moment perhaps in our history. Evolution is inevitable, it happens with or without you, so embracing new people and new ideas, all fearless of the future, is actually my job. Embracing this moment of creative opportunity is the first step.

TBA INTERVIEW : KATHLEEN HANNA of THE JULIE RUIN
Kathleen Hanna is the fairy godmother of punk feminism. When she started Bikini Kill in the 90s she started a unquenchable fire in every girl's heart that burned through the brush to a clear place where girls could see each other and themselves more clearly. How other people saw them — who gives a shit. Kathleen is now back on stages and on tour with the second incarnation of her group The Julie Ruin, and they're bringing their irreverent and joyful noise to the opening ceremony for PICA's TBA Festival this Thursday. Here, an excerpt from NPR Music's Jacki Lyden interview with the woman in question.
Girls like us like cotton candy, plastic handbags, alcohol. Girls like us sometimes ignore people on the street, even other people that we know. Girls like us sneak breaks at Wendy's and girls like us invented jazz. Girls like us have no foundations, creation myths are so passé. Girls like us.
Girls like us like cotton candy, plastic handbags, alcohol. Girls like us sometimes ignore people on the street, even other people that we know. Girls like us sneak breaks at Wendy's and girls like us invented jazz. Girls like us have no foundations, creation myths are so passé. Girls like us.
Tell me a little bit about how this song came to be. What's going on here?
You tell me. The lyrics are really kind of random. It's like, girls like us eat salt for breakfast, girls like us stand back to back. They're kind of an anthem for the people who there is no anthem for. You know, it's meant to be kind of a tongue-in-cheek thing of like, we're all different. I thought that song was a really playful way to say there is no girl like us. You know what I mean? There's just as many different kinds of feminism as there are women in the world.
You were forced to take a long time out; this is your first album in nine years. People were wondering what had happened. And recently, it came to light that you were suffering very seriously from an undiagnosed illness. Would you tell me more about that?
Yeah, I have late-stage Lyme disease. And I still, you know, have good days, bad days, good weeks, bad weeks. And I'm still in long-term treatment. It's been a tough nine years. And I didn't think that I would ever be performing again. And that was a very bitter pill to swallow along with the other 84 pills I take every day, ha.
Are you on good terms with the woman who started Bikini Kill?
I think I am now. I've kind of made peace with the mistakes that I've made and also feeling proud of what I've made. I think that people who are involved in community activism, it's like, don't stand out. We're all equal, you know, especially if you come from a punk rock background that's anti-hierarchy. And I always had this thing of, like, don't be a leader. And I think that fed into me not being able to say: Hey, wait. That was really cool what I did.
I had to, you know, downplay the interesting things that I had made, kind of even to myself. And I'm still as pissed off as ever before. I think I'm just a little bit more directed. I have a better direction for my anger. It's less kind of loosey-goosey all over the place. And I'm more apt to look at a larger world view than just, you know, what's going on inside my apartment building. And now I think both the 21-year-old and the 41-year-old are pretty happy with each other…
Not sure how, but one day I came across this video & was in shock that there was an early 60's RnB record that sounded like this that I had never heard! The baritone sax had me hooked. After that a hot-handed fever of needing a record I had never seen came over me, I was so confused when this search lead me to a SoundCloud (?!) page. Turned out that this was not a 60's production but a modern record made by someone obsessed with the same lost sound that I am. I sent a message & he sent me the 45 & a musical friendship began.
At a concert Nick told the audience that I was the first person outside of SF to ever contact him about his music. That must seem so long ago to a man that is now internationally known as a revivalist and classic fashion icon with half a dozen releases under his belt.
Thursday we welcome the singer, songwriter and record producer Nick Waterhouse to Portland. Though it is rumored that Nick started out as a 45s DJ, he is better known as a guitarist and singer of a sound rooted in early 60's rhythm & blues, jazz and soul. Thursday night he'll be DJing his fabled 45rpm record collection that inspired his music career, at I've Got a Hole in My Soul with me at Holocene. ♥
This is the latest chapter in our new rare vinyl series with Beyondadoubt, a Portland-based producer, beatmaker, DJ and collector.

Does John Jay need an introduction? Recently named one of the top most influential art directors of the last half a century — next to George Lois and Louise Fili — he's also one of the top most wonderful human beings we've ever met. John's philosophies on making, collaborating and creating beauty in the world are a beacon in a plasticine era. With the launch of his new lab GX at Wieden + Kennedy's Portland flagship, he's pushed his canoe off into thrilling new creative adventures and relationships — fueled by his many nocturnal and extracurricular endeavors over the last few decades.
How do you reconcile beauty with advertising?
You can design a product beautifully, or you can design a product and be half-assed about it. You can art direct, write copy and concept with beauty and craft in mind. The world is a better place when there's beauty, but beauty is most certainly subjective. In the sense of wabi sabi, the most fucked up, destroyed version of beauty is best — but of course, in that regard, nature is the best designer there is.
In advertising, we're hired to solve a problem — a business problem. We're really storytelling, with music, film, typography, graphics… elements that add beauty. I do believe that creating beauty is a contribution to society, it's a way of giving back to the world.
You've spoken about GX as a means by which you can get the best work from yourself — it's been formed from two decades of work with Wieden, and all the experience you've carried forward from other endeavours. Talk about your role as a creative director, and what GX means for you as a beacon of creating and doing.
My job is to be inspired. It's not my client's job, or my employer's job or my team member's job. It's my job to stay curious. To be ambitious. The first job of a CD is to inspire. You might have this fat Rolodex with numbers from all over the world — well, what are you going to do with it? I was talking to a client in Berlin and he was asking about GX, what had motivated me to create GX, and I told him that selfishly it was so that I could work with him again myself. I've been orchestrating these connections between people and brands and artists, but what if could actually activate those connections myself? To actually do something, physically and creatively, with those relationships and ideas.
Dan [Wieden] asked me if they were still getting the best out of me — he asked how they could set me loose. His advice, "Free yourself." To be honest, the way to get the best out of me is not for me to sit in meetings for eighteen hours a day. You know, I was co-executive creative director of the whole company globally — it was, and is, an absolutely incredible job, but it was no longer really the right fit for me. Every W+K office in each city also has two executive creative directors, and each account has a creative director team who then manages all the creative work for the account. I loved the IDEA of my job on the Global Management Team but truthfully… I wasn't really making the kind of impact that was important to me.
I've always had a version of Studio J [John's independent studio with his wife and creative partner Janet]. When I was at Bloomingdales, I still had a studio where I was working in publishing, restaurants, graphics. No matter what my day job is, I'm always creating a night job for myself, always creating these opportunities for myself.
I wrote a piece about George Lois the other day and I was talking to him about his Esquire covers — I said, "Not only were those covers masterpieces, not only were 30 of them just shown at the MoMA, but that was your night job!" You know, that was what he did after dinner.
You make your own energy — you have to be "selfish" in that respect, to figure out how you can generate your own energy. But somehow, when it's done with authenticity and wonder, it always seems to become a more universal source — everyone working to keep themselves at their most inspired, their most energetic.
W+K Tokyo was like a dress rehearsal for GX. When we were recruiting for the team in Tokyo, I offered to hire all the management, but as I was giving this spiel about why Tokyo would be such a great job I thought, "Why would I give this away?" So I decided to open the Japan office and it ended up being an extraordinary time for me.
At the time, Dan said about Tokyo that we should make it the "hothouse" — a place where we could do experiments that no other company was able to do. Eventually, he asked me to bring that energy back to the mothership [in Portland]. And it was great, but you know, the air changes, you change, and you have to continue to feel actively creative. How can I continue to inspire people?
And how does GX allow to you relate to your clients differently?
At GX, and at Wieden + Kennedy as a whole, we get to really make a choice about who we're working with. Each brand expresses itself in a unique and personal way so to be in a position to choose clients, to be independent, to make our own decisions — this freedom is at the core of being able to do good work. To be able to say no is one of the most powerful things in the world.
When you're running a business, you have to think about — yes, we need money to keep the company going, but you also need to be able to say "This would not be a good situation for us, creatively, morally, spiritually." If you're a publicly-held company, if you're owned by the bank, you don't have the power to say no to a poor fit. We can think selectively, as independents, and we can say no. Though you do have to be careful who you say no to — it's a small world.
When you say no to something that isn't right for you, that's 10 more minutes of quiet, peaceful sleep you get to have each night, knowing you are doing work you believe in. That's powerful.
Stay tuned for part deux, planted soon.
About ten years ago, there was a very well put together woman selling a few 45s out of a plastic bag on street in Portland. She said they had been her father's but that she had no turntable. She only wanted what seemed like a few bucks for the whole tattered bodega bag. In it I found some of Seattle's holy grail, hard soul gems, namely, both Ron Buford on Camelot.
The singer on the stand-out track is Ural Thomas, who she said still lived in the neighborhood. Deep Soul Part 1 is still one of the greatest, high-energy tracks of the era, and to our amazement Ural Thomas is still performing it around PDX. This Saturday he's headlining Downtown at Star Theater and the platters will be turned with the assistance of me, Danny Dodge (No Tomorrow Boys) and DJ HWY7. And I'll be getting my record signed at long last.
This is the second chapter in our new rare vinyl series with Beyondadoubt, a Portland-based producer, beatmaker, DJ and collector.
Sexiest man of the year and friend to animals Chris Johanson is also an artist. Meet him and some friends to celebrate his new Phaidon Contemporary Artists' Monograph at Monograph Bookwerks on Alberta in Northeast Portland tonight. Chris says: "Jonathan Raymond the Portland writer who is a contributor to the book will be there. Sun Foot will play 3 songs. And we are going to have a really good time." You can see all the details on Monograph's blog.
A throwback to Ace Hotel Portland's early days — a spread in Coastal Traveler with room muralists Amy Ruppel in room 304, Ryan Jacob Smith in 404 and Evan B. Harris in 225. As it happens, Evan was the focus of our first ever Thinking Cap video — you can see it yonder.
Mad Science transports artists to the year 2045 to conquer planetary and social issues as scientists. On July 12 at 7pm, the Mad Science laboratory hangs a shingle at Gallery 135 in Portland. If you're in town, stop by to witness the verdant intersection of art and science and a bunch of people having fun. Featured creatives include friends from Wieden, Nike, iDL and a ton of freestylers, plus music by Jaeho and Gemo Wong. Proceeds from the show will benefit CHAP, a nonprofit organization supporting children in crisis through healing arts programs in Oregon.
Isamu Noguchi was a dreamer, a renegade and a sort of self-ordained formalist, following the idiosyncratic logic of the physical poetry to which he devoted his life and mind. Born in Los Angeles to a poet and an editor, his inspiration came from the spaces between meaning — using his formidable talent and his willingness to risk, he created a new bone structure for the physical and emotional atmospheres in which we live. Pictured here, the artist as a young man (and a crush-worthy one at that), and his sketches, Worksheets for Sculpture, 1945. Noguchi's We are the Landscape of All We Know has migrated west temporarily from the Noguchi Museum in Long Island to the Japanese Garden in Portland, Oregon, on view through July 21.

NYIT-Nanjing and NUPT's College of Overseas Education hosted leaders from both universities and special guest Mr. Mark Tesone, Acting U.S. Consul General in Shanghai, at a lovely commencement ceremony this morning. Three hundred twenty-one graduates received dual bachelor's degrees.
See the whole story at NYIT News. See photos here.
Congratulations, NYIT-Nanjing Class of 2014!
Students and staff at NYIT's Nanjing Campus and its partner, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications (NUPT), are invited to participate in the visit of U.S. musicians the Campbell Brothers (pictured above) this week, together with folklorists Sandra Kennedy, Josh Kohn, and Nick Spitzer.
The Campbell Brothers will play a concert Thursday evening, 15 May, while Kennedy will deliver lectures on May 15-16 about well-known scholars of the U.S. Southeast. These events are the last in the series known as "Cultures of the American Gulf Coast: Work and Play in Story and Song, from Louisiana to Florida," hosted by the NYIT Center for Humanities and Culture at NUPT. Click here for details.
With the backdrop of the NYIT-Peking University EcoPartnership and last month's jointly organized conference in Beijing on "The Water-Energy Nexus: Sustainability and Global Challenges," NYIT President Edward Guiliano, Ph.D., (pictured, center, with EcoPartneship leaders) sat for an in-depth interview with Shao Haipeng for China's prestigious First Financial Daily. President Guiliano discussed China's social development relating to technology, resources, and public policy. In addition to First Financial Daily, several mainstream Chinese outlets, including Entrepreneur's Daily, Sina Finance, Guangdong Securities, and Fangzhen Securities, have published the president's thoughts.
President Guiliano answered questions regarding pollution, economic development, nuclear energy, urban planning, and public health, among others. He also offered ideas on how China might cooperate with U.S. institutions experienced in analyzing industrialization and its consequences.
In addition to the interview, coverage of the NYIT-Peking University conference appeared in other prominent media in China, such as People's Daily, Entrepreneur's Daily, and Market Observer.
In celebration of Europe Day, the European Chamber of Commerce in Nanjing, along with Alliance Française Nanjing and New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), cordially invite you to attend "Face to Face: Foreign Companies & Young Talents." This HR recruitment event will take place 10 May from 1 pm to 6 pm, at the Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications campus in Xianlin.
The event aims to bring foreign companies together with Chinese talent, providing recruitment opportunities for the companies and career development workshops for students. Over 2,000 of the brightest students in the Nanjing area are expected to attend.
Chinese students played their traditional musical instruments in a spontaneous "jam session" with a group of visiting Cajun musicians at NYIT-Nanjing last week. The NYIT Center for Humanities and Culture at NUPT, one of 17 American culture centers which foster intercultural communications throughout China, hosted a group of visitors from Louisiana for a series of meetings with students. The highlight was the informal gathering where Cajuns and students each shared their traditional instruments: the Cajun accordion and "fiddle," and the Chinese pipa, erhu, and hulusi.
The musicians, Jesse Lége (accordion), Joel Savoy (fiddle), Sammy Lind (fiddle), and Nadine Landry (guitar and percussion), are finishing a tour of Chinese university campuses, events that may represent the first time Cajun music has been played in the People's Republic of China. Joel described the meeting with NYIT and NUPT students as "a great way to wrap it up." Folklorist and radio host Nick Spitzer, Ph.D., who, along with Cajun folklorist and filmmaker Conni Castille, accompanied the musicians, declared, "The jam session today was definitely the best one we've had." Spitzer recorded audio from the interactive meeting for later use on his public radio show, American Routes.
Cajun fiddler Joel Savoy (left) jammed with Chinese students Wan Zhen and Ma Xiang Yun. Folklorist and radio host Nick Spitzer (left foreground) recorded the music for his radio show.
Student Wu Jun Ru, who taught herself to play the gourd flute known as hulusi, wanted to get to know the Cajun instruments. After a discussion about the difference between a "violin" and a "fiddle," she got her chance to investigate the accordion. Jesse's accordion was made, she learned, by Joel's father. The student seemed fascinated by it.
Other students questioned the group of musicians about practice times and learning to keep tempo together. "We don't practice," responded Joel. "These are songs we have been playing our whole lives."
NYIT Electrical and Computer Engineering student Peter Huang said afterward, "It was a good chance to enjoy American culture and another kind of music." He added, "We also had the chance to listen to Chinese music with American music."
In a later gathering, Castille introduced and showed two of her films to an audience of about 35 students and faculty: the 23-minute "I Always Do My Collars First," which shows ironing to be much more than merely a chore, and "King Crawfish" (48 minutes), which features "everything Cajuns value," including their language, music, and (not least) crawfish. Dr. Spitzer, a professor of anthropology at Tulane University and creator and host of American Routes, then presented his 1986 film about Louisiana creole culture, "Zydeco."
Center Director Beverly Butcher, Ph.D., stated, "This was a very successful event, with students showing great interest in this unique American folk music and culture."
Thanks to a grant from the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, the NYIT Center for Humanities and Culture at NUPT will host "Cultures of the American Gulf Coast: Work and Play in Story and Song from Louisiana to Florida." The events will take place 10-11 April 2014.
Nick Spitzer, Ph.D., is a folklorist and professor of anthropology and American Studies at Tulane University. He is best known as the creator and host of National Public Radio's American Routes. He will bring a team of Cajun specialists to NYIT to introduce our students to traditional French Louisiana culture.
A highlight of the activities will be a performance of Jesse Lége, Joel Savoy & the Cajun Country Revival. In addition, Dr. Spitzer will screen his film Zydeco (1986), about African-French Louisiana musical traditions. University of Louisiana, Lafayette instructor, folklorist, and filmmaker Conni Castille will screen and discuss two of her films, I Always Do My Collars First (2006) and T-Galop: A Louisiana Horse Story (2012). Students and faculty are looking forward to this unique exposure to a little-known but influential American group.
The NYIT Center for Humanities and Culture at NUPT recently welcomed artist/filmmaker Luke Jaeger. On Thursday, 27 February, Mr. Jaeger visited with students and staff during an informal lunch hour. The following evening, he presented a show entitled "Best Contemporary American Short Films," in which he screened and discussed films by other artists, as well as some of his own work.
Mr. Jaeger's appearance was the first in a series of programs at the Center in which audiences engage music, narrative and media reflecting the United States' Gulf Coast. The series, which will continue throughout the spring, is supported by a Cultural Affairs grant from the U.S. Embassy.
Mr. Jaeger's work combines traditional, low-tech animation techniques with digital, nonlinear sound and video, avant garde music, and his own sensibility. He grew up in Brooklyn and attended Yale University, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and Massachusetts College of Art. His animated films have been shown in festivals and theaters worldwide.
Plans are underway for the NYIT-Nanjing graduation ceremony on Tuesday, June 10, as well as NYIT's main commencement ceremony on the Old Westbury campus on Sunday, May 18.

Following September 11, the FAA issued a requirement that all U.S. commercial aircraft and all foreign commercial aircraft flying to the U.S. be equipped with new fortified cockpit doors by April 2003. But it left the specifics of what constitutes a "fortified cockpit door" pretty much up to the industry.
Boeing 737
Boeing completed a redesign of a 737 rudder control system and, as expected, the FAA formally proposed an AD that will require the installation of the system on some 2,000 Boeing 737-100s, -200s, -300s and -400s within a five-year period.
Boeing (Booth No. 7479) here at EBACE announced that it has begun work this week on the first BBJ3, a new larger business jet based on the 737-900ER. The BBJ3 was launched in October 2006 and is expected to enter service next year with an unidentified customer. Boeing received FAA approval for the 737-900ER in April last year and EASA certification last month. According to Boeing Business Jets, the BBJ3 has 1,120 sq ft of floor space.
London-based aviation services provider Ocean Sky (Booth No. 237) is expanding its profile on a variety of fronts, not the least of which is a major role in the upcoming James Bond thriller "Quantum of Solace," scheduled to open in theaters this October.
Boeing continues to add utility to its BBJ series corporate jets, and the latest effort is the addition of enhanced vision system (EVS) capability to the BBJ's head-up display (HUD). To add safety to BBJ operations, however, Boeing is also working on delivering the EVS display on one of the Honeywell LCDs on the instrument panel, so the first officer can see the same EVS picture that the pilot sees on the HUD.
No fewer than 10 Boeing 757-200s–both VIP and head-of-state aircraft–now benefit from Aviation Partners' Performance Enhancing Blended Winglet Systems, the company reported as it prepared for business at EBACE this year. The company places the global market for Blended Winglet VIP and head-of-state upgrades at some 25 Boeing 757-200s, five 767-300ERs and 25 Boeing 737 NG and Classic airframes.
To those outside Boeing, you are, and probably will be for a long time, associated most closely with the Boeing Business Jet. How did that happen?
Boeing Business Jets are included in an emergency AD issued last month that prohibits using the speedbrakes on 737-600s and -700s at airspeeds in excess of 300 kias. The FAA said it issued the directive (AD 2002-08-52) after receiving a report that on April 5, a 737-700 with its speedbrakes deployed at 19,500 ft msl and 315 kias experienced "a severe high-frequency vibration" of the horizontal stabilizer.
FlightSafety Boeing Training International (FSB) opened its UK training center at London Luton Airport on July 27. The 35,000-sq-ft facility is equipped with a pair of Boeing 737-300 flight simulators, a 737-700/800 unit and a 757 device.
An AD issued last month requires the installation of a new rudder-control system on all U.S.-registered Boeing 737s before Nov. 12, 2008. An October 8 directive (AD 2002-20-07) stems from the investigation into two fatal accidents and a reported rudder event attributed, in part, to an uncommanded rudder hardover, rudder reversal or jammed rudder. Parts are expected to cost Boeing about $140,000 per aircraft.

On Saturday night, mixed martial arts fans got to witness a spectacular show with UFC 173 live on pay-per-view. There were a number of thrilling matches and stunning results, with an ending that nobody saw coming.
From the opening prelim to the main event, there was a lot that took place inside of the octagon at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, which means there was also a lot to take in.
We are here to pick up the pieces from that event, by discussing some of the biggest winners and losers from Saturday night's action.
The fans could be consider the biggest winner of the event because of the epic nature of what went down, but we will keep the focus solely on the fighters who improved and hurt their stock the most.
Video: UFC 173 post-fight press conference | Barao vs. Dillashaw highlights
Let's start with the biggest losers from the night.
Biggest Losers
Renan Barao
Barao was poised to become a star in the UFC and with a win he would have been considered by many the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Unfortunately, a much fast, hungrier TJ Dillashaw came in and put an end to Barao's reign at the top of the bantamweight division.
Barao was dominated from the start of the fight until the end and will need to find a way to bounce back.
One loss doesn't completely remove Barao from the discussion of the world's best fighters, but his stock certainly took a major hit after the unlikely challenger and heavy underdog came in and completely dominated the fight.
Jake Ellenberger
For the second straight fight, Ellenberger under performed against a top contender. Much like his disappointing outing against Rory MacDonald, Ellenberger was hesitant to throw his punches and got picked apart in the process.
More coverage: UFC 173 fighter bonuses | Jones vs. Gustafsson II targeted for August
It was unfortunate to see, but some fighters seem to never be able to get over that hump to become a true title challenger and Ellenberger seems to be joining that group.
Of course, losing to Robbie Lawler is nothing to be ashamed of, but Ellenberger cannot be happy with his disappointing performance that saw him running backwards for a majority of the fight and simply playing defense.
Al Iaquinta
Iaquinta was on a three-fight winning streak, which was one of the longest in the UFC's lightweight division, and could have made a case to receive a big step up in competition with another impressive win.
After the first round of his fight with Mitch Clarke, Iaquinta seemed well on his way to scoring a big stoppage win but he ultimately got caught in a D'Arce choke and was put to sleep.
Just like that, Iaquinta goes stumbling back down the ladder and must scratch and claw his way to get back into position to be knocking on the door of the top 15 rankings.
TJ Dillashaw
There aren't enough words to describe just how special TJ Dillashaw's performance was on Saturday night. It was truly one of the most impressive outings we have ever seen from a fighter to step into the UFC cage and he pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the promotion's history.
From the opening bell, Dillashaw dominated the fight with his speed and footwork as he went on to hand Barao his first loss since 2005 and claimed the belt.
More coverage: Duane Ludwig reacts to Dillashaw's win | Dillashaw earns $100,000 in bonuses
Your stock can't get much higher than being champion, so Dillashaw is the clear winner of Saturday night.
If the TJ Dillashaw that walked into the octagon at UFC 173 is able to continue showing up, he could be a difficult puzzle to solve. With his footwork and the way he mixed up his striking, he was a mixture of Dominick Cruz and Alexander Gustafsson in the cage. It was spectacular.
The only question for Dillashaw now is who to fight next and a rematch with Raphael Assuncao certainly seems appealing.
Robbie Lawler
Robbie Lawler looked like a man possessed at UFC 173. He came out looking to make a statement and show the world that he was ready to get back in the cage against UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks, and he did just that by dismantling Jake Ellenberger.
More coverage: Lawler vs. Ellenberger highlights | Lawler stops Ellenberger in Round 3
Lawler landed huge shots at the beginning of the fight and went on to pick apart Ellenberger until turning on the pressure and scoring an impressive finish.
There is now a real possibility that Lawler could wait for a title shot if Hendricks will be ready to go in the early fall, but if the champion needs more time to recover a fight between Lawler and Matt Brown would be a great consolation prize for the fans.
Daniel Cormier
Everyone knew that Daniel Cormier was a real threat in the UFC's light heavyweight division, but the way that he came out on Saturday night and completely destroyed Dan Henderson for two and a half rounds before choking him unconscious was a scary sight to see.
We have never seen Henderson dominated like that in his career, but it just goes to show how great Cormier can be.
More coverage: Cormier vs. Henderson highlights | Cormier willing to wait for title shot
Cormier has said that he is now willing to wait for a title shot, which is he clearly deserving of, but UFC president Dana White said he believes Cormier should take another fight.
Jones vs. Gustafsson II is being targeted for August, so the best case scenario for Cormier would be that the title fight could come at the end of the year show.
Regardless of what happens, Cormier has shown that he is one of the top light heavyweights in the world and whoever has the belt following the Jones vs. Gustafsson rematch will have a serious problem on their hands.
Tony Ferguson
While there were a number of quality performances on Saturday night, it was hard not to be incredibly impressed with Tony Ferguson's showcase performance against Katsunori Kikuno on the preliminary card.
Kikuno, who has one of the most bizarre styles in the UFC, is a hard puzzle to figure out but Ferguson was able to pick the Japanese superstar apart on way to a one-punch knockout win.
More coverage: Ferguson steals spotlight in prelims
Ferguson was clicking on all cylinders and now the former Ultimate Fighter winner is 5-1 inside of the octagon with four stoppage wins.
His last two finishes have been the one-punch knockout of Kikuno and and a Brabo choke over Mike Rio.
It is safe to say that "El Cucuy" has learned from his loss to Michael Johnson back in 2012 and he will not be satisfied until he avenges that loss and gets into title contention.
If Ferguson can keep piling up these stoppage wins and dismantling opponents, he will be getting top ten opponents in no time.
Below are the full UFC 173 results:
- TJ Dillashaw def. Renan Barao via TKO (strikes) — Round 5 (2:26)
- Daniel Cormier def. Dan Henderson via submission (rear-naked choke) — Round 3 (3:53)
- Robbie Lawler def. Jake Ellenberger via TKO (strikes) — Round 3 (2:06)

Paralympics Has A New Star
Wired's excellent sports blog, Playbook, notes Oscar Pistorius – "Blade Runner" – lost his first race in seven years.
The double amputee fell to Jerome Singleton in the 100m race at the International Paralympic Committee Athletics World Championships despite picking himself to defeat the Beijing Paralympic silver medalist.
The American Singelton ran a 11.43 and won in a photo finish.
Pistorius, who already claimed gold in the 200m, hopes to race in the 2012 Olympics in London. Perhaps he can bring Singleton along?

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)-- The Ogden Raptors (LAD) have a way with winning over the Grand Junction Rockies (COL).
The Rox entered the 3-game series on Saturday just one game back of Ogden with a real shot at earning the top spot of the South Division.
Needless to say, the Raptors weren't impressed with the Rockies 4-game win streak heading into the weekend.
Ogden took all three games in their first visit to the Western Slope. Monday night, their bats continued to punish the Grand Junction pitching staff. The first-place Raptors scattered 15 hits and 10 runs throughout the night, scoring in six of the nine innings played.
The Rockies finished their 7-game homestand with a 4-3 record, but now they sit 4.0 games out of first place in the division.
They hit the road against the Missoula Osprey (ARI) on Wednesday.

The CHOP license plate is now available for any Pennsylvania resident, and can be purchased for $45 by going to www.giftofchildhood.org/licenseplate or calling 267-426-6500.
"By purchasing a CHOP license plate, Pennsylvania drivers can celebrate their dedication to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where ever they go, while also supporting vital community programs," said Steven M. Altschuler, M.D., chief executive officer of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
A portion of the proceeds will help fund several of CHOP's community programs including its Homeless Health Initiative, which provides healthcare services to children in homeless shelters; Reach Out and Read, which gives free books to low-income families; and injury prevention programs at CHOP that advance bicycle, car seat, and child traffic safety.
New father Sean Duffy who spoke at the event is one of many families in the community that has benefited from a CHOP community program. Before his daughter was born, he and his wife participated in the Kohl's Injury Prevention program car seat safety check in Montgomeryville, Pa. where parents are taught how to properly install a car seat and correctly position their child.
"As a new parent, there are so many moments when you want to be assured that you are doing the right thing for your baby," said Duffy. He adds, "The CHOP car seat safety check was an incredible community program for us. Knowing our baby daughter was safely in her car seat was a great, safe feeling, and enabled us to be comfortable for a long drive to visit family this holiday season."
To purchase a license plate, Pennsylvania residents can go to www.giftofchildhood.org/licenseplate to download an application and learn more about how the CHOP license plate helps to support programs in the community.

What Didn't Work
To sum it up, here's the problem with 48 fps: in providing a super high-definition picture with more detail than you ever thought possible, it conversely makes any elements that are fantastical and imaginative, more artificial and ordinary as a result. The use of 48 fps had the curiously opposite effect to being immersive, by jarring viewers out of the experience. The first already dreadfully slow hour of the movie was further hampered by a visual effect that turned the entire proceedings at Bag End into dress-up on a drastically overlit episode of "Coronation Street." To get a sense of how different the feel is, just throw any of the LOTR DVDs on your TV -- you immediately feel like you're in an entirely different, beautifully conjured world. In 'The Hobbit,' the faster frame rate only highlights the feeling that you are watching actors in costume, on a film set, and at times, the hyper-details make the green screen digital effects behind the actors stand out, instead of disappearing into the background. That said, 48 fps does the make the action sequences look gorgeous, particularly the extended goblin battle, with the frame rate lending itself well to the expressive, carefully planned setpiece. It's been said that directors can switch between 24 and 48 fps in the same movie, so our advice for PJ? For the next two films, stick with the standard rate but flip to new format when it's time for special effects.
Jackson's been a strong advocate for 3D, having been side-by-side with James Cameron on the WETA-aided "Avatar," and having produced "The Adventures of Tintin" for Steven Spielberg, as well as planning to direct that film's sequel. So it's a little puzzling that he doesn't really seem to take advantage of the format in the way that we hoped he would. After all, recent years have seen people like Cameron, Martin Scorsese and Ang Lee design movies from the ground-up to use the dimensionalization of their movies to its fullest. We're not fans of 3D in general, but we'd certainly acknowledge that some of those guys are using it in a way that makes sense, but Jackson seems to be shooting in much the same way he always has, so the stereo effect never feels particularly justified, bar perhaps some of the impossible camera shots in the goblin caves. If you're someone who believes that 3D immediately makes everything more immersive, you probably had a good time with it, but we mostly found the effect to be token, and reminiscent more of a quick post-convert than being shot in native 3D. And it's particularly egregious given that the HFR technology was forced on us principally because of its 3D benefits. We suspect that by the time the second part rolls around, we'll be going out of our way to see the film in good old 2D 24FPS.
The idea of taking J.R.R. Tolkien's comparatively thin, much more lighthearted "The Hobbit" and turning it into the three movies was always going to challenge, but 'An Unexpected Journey' reveals why this approach is problematic. Where the LOTR series had a great central relationship at its core, with Frodo and Sam bonded and tested by their quest, and further rounded out by an expansive world with fascinating side characters and subplots that enriched the story, 'The Hobbit' flounders in that department. As good as he is, Freeman is pretty much only given one note to play, that of the reluctant hobbit drawn into this adventure against his will, only to wind up nearly three hours later kind of half-heartedly agreeing to help the dwarves reclaim their land. It's not exactly the most compelling arc to latch onto, and it isn't helped by head dwarf Thorin (Richard Armitage) spending most of the movie griping that Bilbo isn't fit to travel with them, and generally being kind of a grumpy, stubborn dick to the point where, when Bilbo is ready to bail, we're totally on his side.
"It's in the books!" Yeah, yeah, we get it, but sometimes to make things work cinematically, elements need to be changed (we won't even into how ridiculous that fiery pinecones sequence was). But with the giant eagles once again coming to the rescue (we kind of been there, done that in 'Return Of The King') and whisking everyone away from the danger, all we could think when they dropped them a random cliff in the middle of nowhere was: couldn't they have just taken them to Erebor? They're like the world's most dickish cab drivers. With the Lonely Mountain rising up in the far, far distance, we weren't so much anticipating the next journey as already thinking about the fact we have two more movies, and six more hours before this story is wrapped up, and Peter Jackson finishes knitting all the strings together between the two trilogies.
Even with the 48 fps, which makes everything look like someone's sitting on the fast forward button on the DVD remote control, "The Hobbit" starts off slow. Like, agonizingly slow. After gobs of uninteresting exposition, we're treated to a seemingly endless series of scenes where Gandalf (Ian McKellen) invites a bunch of fucking dwarves over to Bilbo's house, where they wreck the place and engage in not one but two musical numbers, to the point where the first forty-five minutes or so resemble the Middle Earth version of "Les Miserables." Then they're off on an adventure, which seems to involve an awful lot of sitting around and talking about food, which isn't particularly adventurous and is even less cinematic. What makes the pacing of the movie even weirder is that once the movie is about halfway done, it doesn't slow down at all – there are giant mountainous men who throw boulders at each other, a protracted section of the movie set in some kind of underground goblin factory and a final showdown between some Orcs riding what appear to be werewolves from the "Twilight" movies. It's jarring and awkward and just because the first half is so boring doesn't mean the second half has to overcompensate with pacing that borders on the frenetic. Yes, there are some nice moments in the second half but by then we'd completely checked out emotionally. And might even have taken a little nap.

Hmm, I basically disagree with many of the points made in this. The hobbit was book intended for 12 year olds and although it appeals to adults this is due to not only the action, but the subtle social commentary and the characterisation. These elements are underplayed in this film because basically it was decided, riding on the success of the Lord of the Rings saga that the fans would like more of the same. Hence the elements added to the story to ramp up the action. Comic elements in the book are poorly interpreted and underplayed, essentially this is Bildungsroman story where bourgeois middle class Bilbo is entrapped into having an adventure by Gandalf who perceives him as having more in his character than his life as a rural squire reflects. The opening scene with the dwarves is ten times funnier in the book because it is based on an English comedy of manners. Bilbo is incensed but can't show it because it violates his social code. Ultimately his adventure transformed him into someone altogether broader and the tragedy is that Bilbo is never quite as comfortable again in the shire, nor are the people quite as easy with him, he no longer fits in. Aspects of Tolkien war experiences come through here as in The return of the King. I don't get a feeling these will be films about character and they will be poorer for it although I enjoyed this first offering.

This guys reasoning was ignorant. First off, The Hobbit was written as a kids book, that's why its lighter than LOTR. Secondly just read the damn book and stop complaining.
Sir | December 25, 2012 12:00 AM
THANK YOU for writing this review. I agreed with just about every point you mentioned here. This film is doing well in the box-office, yes, but that doesn't necessarily make it a well-made movie. Just to prove my point to any glazed-eye fans out there, look at the Twilight movies, Phantom Menace, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Indiana Jones Crystal Skull, etc etc etc.

The movie was an awesome experience!

"Like Paul Greengrass' "Watchmen" or Lynne Ramsay's "The Lovely Bones," the concept of Guillermo Del Toro's "The Hobbit" will end up as one of the great 'what ifs' in cinema history." Err, what? Ramsay was sent the opening, liked it, started working on it, and then was sent the later half ... and didn't like it, so much. She was kicked off the project, and wasn't all that depressed that she didn't get to film a book she had problems with. The tragedy!
Giovanni | December 17, 2012 4:57 PM
"Remake of 'The Fellowship of the Ring"? Seriously?! The guy did not think that the Shire to Rivendell the path traced in two books, "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings" is the same? Ah ... Critics thought just before utter their criticism.
The dwarves are not well defined even in the books. Are THIRTEEN characters! Peter did a good job in differentiating them at least in appearance. Tolkien was never good at delving into characters, considering that Middle-earth is the main character.
Since this is the first film and has a character introductory, much had to be created out of nothing - and another major reason for this was the Appendices of "The Return of the King" added.
About the Eagles. They do not like to help. Never liked help unless to they benefit. That matter has not said about them ... search.
Honestly? Critics of the film said something: contextualization. And as this story is divided into three and the other movies only come in the next two years, the way would be to check the writings, but not in Wikipedia were to take a look.
A shame.

Basically you should read this http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/12/14/the-hobbit-an-unexpected-journey-review-the-best-middle-earth-movie-since-fellowship-of-the-ring/
because some of your "what didn`t" points are just nonsense, because they were in the books and besides as a book The Hobbit and Fellowship are indeed very similar, hence the films are also similar.
LennyG | December 17, 2012 1:37 PM
I'm not that much of a LOTR expert but The Hobbit is structurally written episodically! Why would the film be different? And the eagles...They are key figures throughout the books (in fact, they are given short shrift in LOTR). They represent a different take on good/evil - Nature vs. environmental destruction and they at times have to be convinced to help the West side (good guys) because the bad guys are worse.
Patrick | December 17, 2012 1:10 PM
Did this writer even read the book?! Articles like this make me so mad at people!!!
BEF | December 17, 2012 12:59 PM
Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Only other thing I'd add to the "didn't work" column the troll/cooking scene, which added absolutely nothing other than the first of many, Gandolf steps in at the last moment to save them scenes (and mostly sparing us from the silly humor of the scene).... Also, why is Bilbo so dear to Gandolf? Dude doesn't even remember him.

"-- a complete invention, found nowhere in the book --" The Stone Giants are in the book, right before they enter the goblin's cave. The movie just makes an action sequence out of it as opposed to something mentioned in the distance.
Alex | December 17, 2012 12:42 PM
Shows what poor readers you are... the stone giants are in the book:
When he peeped out in the lightning-flashes, he saw that across the valley the stone-giants were out and were hurling rocks at one another for a game, and catching them, and tossing them down into the darkness where they smashed among the trees far below, or splintered into little bits with a bang.
They could hear the giants guffawing and shouting all over the mountainsides.
"If we don't get blown off or drowned, or struck by lightning, we shall be picked up by some giant and kicked sky-high for a football."
"I must see if I can't find a more or less decent giant to block it up again," said Gandalf

It also felt like Jackson took what he thought people liked in the original trilogy and gave heaping servings of it -- panoramic shots, vertiginous camera work, lots of views of multi-level subterranean lairs. Not new, just more.

It is rare that, on a day where the Red Sox lineup produced three homers including a grand slam, the spotlight ends up shining somewhere altogether different. But with Jon Lester going up against what has measured up as the league's best offense and producing fifteen strikeouts over eight scoreless innings of work, there is no question who was the star in Saturday's series-clinching win.
There are times when a pitcher is fully on their game, but they miss out on making no-hit history because of a single slip-up. That was not the case for Jon Lester today. From the first out in the first until the end of the eighth, there was nothing remotely hittable about him. The southpaw found his two favorite locations time after time, clustering plenty of pitches around the outside edge, and around the corner down-and-in. When Lester can locate both his fastball and his cutter in those areas, it leaves hitters constantly guessing. When he's also able to snap off a decent curveball, it's just downright unfair. The only hit he allowed was a pop-up to right placed perfectly in between Mike Napoli and Jackie Bradley Jr. It was the kind of single a keyed-in Pedro Martinez could have surrendered to a mediocre college hitter. But for that, we might well be talking about Lester's second career no-hitter.
Thankfully, Red Sox fans were able to enjoy his performance stress-free for most of the game. The Red Sox have been notoriously stingy when its come to run support for their ace, but tonight they got it out of the way early. Dustin Pedroia produced a quintessential leadoff plate appearance, drawing a walk on seven pitches, then headed to second base when Xander Bogaerts hit a line drive over the head of a leaping Jed Lowrie. David Ortiz followed Pedroia's lead by earning his own base on balls, loading the bases with zero outs.
As Boston's most productive hitter to date, Mike Napoli seemed a good candidate to break the game open, but he ended up swinging through a high fastball to give Tommy Milone his first out of the game. The next pitch Milone offered up, however, was a hanging curveball to Jonny Gomes. For the second straight game, the Red Sox watched a ball make its way into the monster seats for a grand slam. And for the second straight game, they never looked back.
Still, while the four runs might have been enough, the Sox did not pass up the opportunity to add another pair of homers to their tally. In the third, David Ortiz swung wildly at two inside pitches to fall behind 0-2 before getting an absolute meatball over the plate and hitting it about as far as he's hit any ball this year, over the bullpen and into the stands for a solo shot. David Ross completed the trio in the bottom of the fourth, matching Jonny Gomes with a Monster shot of his own, if it was only good for the one run.
With Jon Lester mowing through batter after batter, those insurance runs did not seem terribly important. By the end of the eighth, Lester had 15 strikeouts, and the Athletics had managed just three baserunners. The Sox headed to the ninth with a 6-0 lead. There things would get slightly sketchier, with the usually lockdown Chris Capuano allowing three straight hits before hitting Josh Donaldson. With two runs in, Koji Uehara had to be called on to finish the job, getting out of the mess while only allowing one (inherited) run to come in. A bit of an ugly finish to a beautiful game, but a 6-3 victory all the same.

This half coat with matching fabric belt coordinates well with both pants and skirts. Because there is no shoulder seam, the shoulder width on the size chart looks very narrow but the sleeve cap dart adds extra ease to sleeve width. Due to the design, in this coat it is easier to move your arms than normal set-in sleeve coats. The funnel collar which is a continuous piece from the body becomes large triangle collar when folded. When unbuttoned it gives draped collar look. You can enjoy various looks from one coat. There are not many seam lines in this coat and pocket construction is very simple. We recommend this item to those who think coats are too hard to sew.
