The Apparition of the First Wife
I could write that Jeffrey K. Skilling's first wife, Susan Lowe, was called to the stand this afternoon as a character witness for the accused, but it would be more accurate to say that she materialized in the witness box. She was ghostlike in her mien and manner, tremulous but somehow firm in her quiet and terse answers. She was, frankly, mesmerizing to watch.
Divorced from Skilling in 1997 and since remarried to a stockbroker, Lowe was called against her will, she admitted, by his attorneys. She has been in the courtroom for much of Skilling's defense over the past several days, along with their children and Skilling's current wife, Rebecca Carter, a former secretary to Enron's board.
The two women could not appear more different.
Carter, younger, more glamorous, was known around the Enron family as "Va-Voom." She married Skilling in 2002.
Lowe was married to Skilling for 22 years. She is frequently described as "mousy," but that's not quite right.
Today, she wore a tasteful light pink jacket with a darker pink shirt. Her hair is short, cut in a sort of Pricess Di do, appearing to be a mix of blonde and gray (I guess they used to call it "frosted"). Perched on a thin and graceful neck, Lowe's head made small birdlike movements as she listened to the lawyers. A thin, nervous smile would briefly appear and then just as quickly disappear. Her large eyes seemed attentive and tired at once. At times she seemed to flinch, as if brushed by an imaginary gust of wind.
Lowe was cross-examined by government prosecutor Kathryn Ruemmler, a young, emphatic, athletic power-blonde. And, although Ruemmler tried her best to be soliticious, it seemed her insistent questioning about Lowe's $14 million sale of Enron stock in October 2000 probably looked a little tough to the jury.
Lowe got the Enron stock in her divorce settlement with Skilling, and she testified she didn't know how much she received. She also testified that she and her husband sold the stock because they were "nervous about the stock market," although she said she didn't know that Enron stock was trading near its all-time high about then.
Apparently incredulous, Ruemmler asked Lowe if she knew that, in October 2000, Skilling was chief operating officer of Enron.
"I really didn't pay much attention to Jeff or Enron," Lowe said, prompting laughter. She cringed and said, "Sorry."
Later, after a long string of "did you know?" questions about Skilling and the government investigations, Lowe straightened in the witness box and proclaimed: "You know what? I have to be honest. I did not follow it at all. I really didn't. I was more concerned about taking care of my children."
Ouch. One of the first rules for prosecutors, along with "don't beat up on widows," should be: "Also, don't beat up on first wives of disgraced CEOs who look like they might shatter into a million pieces at any moment, even if they are worth tons of money."
Looking at Skilling and his choice of wives is fascinating. Some successful men who get richer and more powerful "trade up" for a newer or younger model, leaving the mother of their children for someone they believe better ornaments them and their rising world-beater status. That's what it looks like Skilling did.
Skilling and Carter began dating in 1998 when Skilling was shooting upward in the company. There's a terrific throwaway scene in Tom Wolfe's "Bonfire of the Vanities" in which our hero, Master of the Universe stockbroker Sherman McCoy, is walking on a Manhattan sidewalk when a beautiful woman -- she might be a model -- approaches. They give each other an admiring once-over in passing. "What a magnificent pair of creatures we are," Wolfe has the two thinking.
It's hard to think about Skilling and Carter in the late '90s at big, bad, beautiful Enron and not think about that scene.
What's intriguing is that the wraithlike woman who appeared on the witness stand today seems a much better match for Skilling, now that he is a shade of his former self.

Mostly because of Mary Flood, I've been following the Houston Chron's Enron blogs but only recently discovered yours.
The above post about Mrs. Sklilling #1 is head and shoulders much better written than this one from Tom Fowler, for comparison:
Excellent work, please keep it up.

I've worked for large cororaion all of my life and every single executive I've met is exactly like Skilling. They have no conscience, no morals, they are sociopaths, simple empty shells. Being able to lie with a straight face is no indicator of character and neither is the ability to manipulate other people. At the very least, Skilling and Lay deserve to spend the rest of their lives in prison. If I could change one law, it would be to allow for capital punishment for people like this. For once, for one time in their miserable lives, I would like people to this to actually FEEL the harm they have done to others and I figure being strapped down on a table with tubes entering your arteries and knowing you are going to die for the lives you have wrecked might just do it.

I really don't understand the point of this entry. Why fixate on this woman's appearance? How relevant is this or important is it to your readers? I found this entry distasteful - I had hoped to get more insight into the trial but instead I got blather reminiscent of style section articles focusing on how powerful women in washington dress instead of how they think and what they do.
Posted by: Amanda | April 20, 2006 10:19 PM
Amanda: Thanks for taking time to read and write. Sorry if you were disappointed by this entry--and I hope it won't prevent you from reading further ones--but I tried to capture what I thought was the extraordinary appearance of the first Mrs. Skilling on the witness stand today. It's what I've doing all along, or trying to. I must tell you, it seemed everyone in the Overflow Press Room (OPR) stopped what they were doing to watch her. She had this amazing fragile-but-strong appearance, like you didn't know if she were going to just vaporize or come across the witness stand at the prosecutor. And inasmuch as she was with Skilling during much of his rise, it's worth trying to get a handle on what sort of woman she is. Thanks again for your input and I do hope you'll keep reading.

Posted by: Frank Ahrens | April 21, 2006 02:25 AM
I 'm with Amanda. I too find the depiction of Skillings ex distasteful. I only hope she does not read it, nor her children. Who wouldn't be a bit fragile on the stand? She didn't want to be there & thought she was through with him long ago.

Great article. Which network will make a TV series from all this. Could replace desperate housewifes. While it may do well as TV drama, it is not quite competition for the Sopranos.
Trophy wifes are easy to find, when you have bucks. Dumping the old lady is costly, ie: crooks like the boys at Enron,need to cook the books to afford their new found importance. We must all remember, putting these boys in jail, is required, for all the poor souls who lost both their jobs and their pensions.
Posted by: Dan Green | April 21, 2006 06:44 AM
First of all, great job sir. I am really enjoying these articles. I completely understand the concern expressed when writers (or anyone) focus on the physical attributes of women in a way that they may not with men. However, is it possible to carry this concern a little too far?
I think part of Franks role here is to convey the vibe and feeling of what it's like to be there as a witness to the trial and surroundings of the trial. If he was struck by her appearance, then I think it is part of his responsibilities to write about that.
To me, a blog is different than a straight news article. He is giving us his reactions and personal feelings and observations so that we may on some level understand what it's like to be there.
I do not have a problem with someone expressing his thoughts that do not seem to any way be demeaning or superficial.
Yes, let's be aware of the differences that men and women are portrayed in our culture, and the lack of fairness and respect that occasionally results from that. But lets box Frank in to only describing his feelings and observations, in his blog, to what may accepted by as wide a range of audience as possible.

I found most of the descriptions of the women sexist ("power-blonde?"). When will columnists stop describing womens personalities by their hair color? Both Skilling and Lay are demonstrably loosing their hair - where are the attendant personality tie-ins for their hair status? They aren't there because they are not relevant. Please reach further in to your imagination to describe the female characters in this drama, so far they feel trite.
Posted by: Jill Cerino | April 21, 2006 12:24 PM
"Mesmerizing," "wraithlike," and in comments, "extraordinary."
Those are not distasteful judgments, those are descriptive, cinematic, informative adjectives -- exactly what I would hope to hear from someone who was there.
In court, as in life, appearances count. Those of you who take issue with Frank Ahrens' word-painting of the contrast between the Skilling wives seem to live in a different universe than the one in which this trial is taking place.
He is not dissing Mrs. Skilling #1. He is trying to evoke a sense of what happened, and to do that, he must describe the physical reality of the courtroom and its occupants.
Posted by: skimble | April 21, 2006 12:26 PM
Attention all up-in-arms readers: These descriptions aren't defamatory, they make the trial more interesting to those of us who can't attend, and make it easier to understand Jeff Skilling, the man.
Sounds like Skilling was married to a decent person for 22 years, someome who was a good mother to their kids despite the fact he must have been a workaholic. 22 years of marriage is a long time, considering how short most marriages are. Give them both some credit.
As for me, if I was in front of a courtroom with the national media spotlight on me, I'd shake with fear, no question about it.
Posted by: Kyle R. | April 23, 2006 02:19 AM
Frank -- I disagree with many of the commentary opinions expressed here. I knew Sue and watched Enron and Skilling during the heady days that reminded me of Penn Square Bank right before it folded.
The advantage of blogs is that it they can be more than just a news story and the commentary often adds a lot to the coverage. For example, look at my disclosures about watching what happened from a personal standpoint and having known Sue and watched her try to handle a marriage before, during and after the divorce. I think you probably captured the stoicism of a first wife dumped for the thrill of the excitement of arm candy. It made much more interesting reading.
This adds more to WaPo's coverage in a different medium, as does the Fortune magazine print magazine article on the trial in the lastest issue. (referenced in earlier trackback above).
Great going. Keep at it. Plus, you are doing a nice job of listenting to your commentators making this a two-way dialogue.
Posted by: H.A.Page | April 25, 2006 02:54 AM
Please people give me a break. Frank did a great job analyzing and summarizing the situation. Since there are no pictures available it is interesting to read accurate court accounts. Whenever a man writes anything about a women, one of these feminists is going to make a big deal about it, even with articles like this one. For those people men cannot do anything right. Just awful.

If you like Narciso Rodriguez Perfume/EDT but don't like the price tag, this is the perfume for you. They both smell quite similiar since they belong to the same family yet it's a friction of the price without losing quality. J. Del Pozo In White Perfume comes in a unique bottle and I personally perfers this over Narciso Rodriguez as its too powdery at the dry down.

It is no secret that I love Etsy! It is such a fabulous place to find handmade items. I recently had the pleasure of coming across SaSa Originals Etsy shop. Such cute items! Sara makes sweet baby blankets, adorable plush rattles, hot/cold ouchie packs, and crinkle fidget sensory toys. And the fabrics she uses are adorable and unique! Each item is one-of-a-kind.
My Review!
I had the pleasure of reviewing Marley the Giraffe plush rattle! (Thanks to Sara at SaSa Originals!)
When I first opened Marley, I was so thrilled! It is so cute. I was impressed with the wonderful handsewn quality. One of my first thoughts was that this would be a PERFECT baby shower gift! It is cute, personal, and well-made. Something different than the cookie-cutter baby shower gift. And let's face it: We all love to have a few things that no one else has, right?!
My 2 year old also wanted to play with Marley! He was immediately interested in the "'uh-raff" (as he calls giraffes)!
The only thing I would have to say negative is it is a little bit pricey for a rattle/plush toy ($18). I would hesitate to spend that much on one toy usually. But I would definitely recommend it as a sweet baby shower gift. I would spend that much on someone else, because of the cute and unique factor!
We are really enjoying Marley here in the Cotton household!

Name: J. Alfredo G. Status: educator Age: 40s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 2/26/2003
By using de Broglie's equation one find that lambda=3.35A for the electron in the hydrogen atom (speed of electron = 2.187 E6 m/s, according to Bohr's atom model). How can this wave exists in a space of only 0.529A (Bohr radius)?
Your numbers explain it! According to Bohr, for a stable orbit, exactly one wavelength must fit on the path of the orbit. And sure enough! 2 * pi * 0.529 = 3.32A, awfully close to 3.35A. I suspect a more careful calculation would produce perfect agreement.
Your question, though, is a very good one, since the electron in the lowest Bohr orbit is not really a tiny planet circling a sun-like proton. Nonetheless (luckily for the progress of physics), this simple model works beautifully, which has always amazed me (and many others.)
Best, Dick Plano, Professor of Physics emeritus, Rutgers University
The circumference corresponding with the Borh radius is 3.32A, so this does not seem inconsistent to me, given the approximate nature of the model.
Tim Mooney
The "wave" follows the orbit in the Bohr model. The path length for the orbit = 2 * Pi * Bohr radius.

Lice Happens Now Offering "Lousy" Franchise Opportunities
Head Lice effects 12-20 million American families per year. Lice Happens, the premier, Annapolis based, mobile head lice removal service, is now offering franchisees the rewarding opportunity to help families in need, all from the comfort of their own home.
Annapolis, MD (PRWEB) February 28, 2013
M.J. Eckert, RN and Nancy Fields, the co-founders of Lice Happens, are not only business partners, but saviors to thousands of families. For the last 4 years, Lice Happens has deloused families from Connecticut all the way to North Carolina. Even though Nancy and M.J. would love to visit every home in the country, it simply isn't possible.
"We frequently get inquiries from families seeking assistance with head lice removal who find us through our website http://www.licehappens.com but who reside outside of our service areas. It tugs at our heart strings when we're not able to help families in need of our service," comments Fields. "Instead of managing field employees across the country, we want to give people an opportunity to own and manage their own business like we do," notes Eckert. "The need is widespread and we're developing a nationwide franchise program that reflects the professionalism, commitment to quality, and passion that have lead to Lice Happens' current success," added Fields.
Why Lice Happens?
Lice Happens is a professional and certified mobile head lice removal service with a proven and successful business model. We are offering the first dozen franchisees additional exclusive territory free of charge to attract motivated individuals.
About Lice Happens: Lice Happens, a Mid-Atlantic-based head lice removal service, offers in-home pesticide free head lice treatment. The company was founded by two Annapolis residents, M.J. Eckert, R.N., a 15-year school and camp nurse veteran and Nancy Fields, a 10-year quality assurance entrepreneur.

Introduction Posing the Question In the history of game development, there has always been a "standard" means to represent data in the game world.
During the 2D era the world and its components were shown by using sprites -- collections of pixels to form an image. As the industry moved into 3 dimensions, this standard-format became the 3D model. Metaball math. Introduction to metaballs Note: bold letters are vectors, normal letters are scalars Metaballs are described as: - mn = location of metaball number n - sn = size of metaball number n - k = number of balls - g = "goo"-value, which affects the way how metaballs are drawn - r = treshold for metaballs - p = place vector - |x| = magnitude (length) of vector x For a more "concrete" example, here's the same formula, written for two 2d metaballs: You could try to solve y from that equation and draw the metaballs like any normal 1-dimensional function, but as the number of balls increases, solving y becomes impossible.

It's an exhausting time of year for many of us, particularly for caregivers in the sandwich generation (those caring for kids and seniors). In addition to the usual stress of caregiving tasks, there are the added responsibilities of holiday parties, shopping, gift wrapping, travel, baking, and irregularities in the schedule due to school and business closures — which may mean rearranging childcare or rescheduling regular doctor's appointments. All of these things can easily translate to caregiver exhaustion. As a result, some may be secretly looking forward to the holiday season's end.
Yes, there is joyful music, there are bright lights, and there are festive gatherings, but the season can also be a rather depressing time for those grieving the loss of a spouse, partner, or other loved ones.
Yet another reason to look forward to January 2.
The last thing on most caregivers' minds this time of year is planning a vacation. They may need a break desperately, and they may be thinking, "I need a vacation after this," but they are certainly not going to add one more thing to the to-do list. Plus, it's the holidays, and everyone should be together, they think to themselves. In this way, many caregivers ignore their own health needs and feel guilty for even entertaining the idea of a getaway.
However, there are options for caregivers in this situation. Some assisted living communities offer short-term/respite stays, and home care agencies can send a caregiver for even just a few hours a week. If you are feeling exhausted before the Christmas countdown even begins, reach out for help, take a break, and do something good for yourself. Your health depends on it… and so do the people for whom you're caring.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (5/25/12) – On Memorial Day, the Colorado National Guard will be seen and heard in both the air and on the ground at patriotic events around the state.
"We all remember what we were doing when we heard of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon," said Maj. Gen. H. Michael Edwards, adjutant general of Colorado. "For most, it was a time of confusion, followed by a great resolve to prevent such atrocities in the future. This Memorial Day we recognize all those who carried that resolve on their shoulders, many of whom have fallen."
The 140th Wing of the Colorado Air National Guard watches the nation's skies 24/7/365 from Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colo., which is the only centrally-located alert fighter location in the nation.
During the decade since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Colorado National Guard Soldiers and Airmen have deployed more than 6,000 times while maintaining state emergency response capabilities and supporting homeland defense missions.

Completing the first season — Batman: The Brave and the Bold Season One, Part One was released in August — Batman: The Brave and the Bold Season One, Part Two will be released on March 15, 2011.
Two discs will hold the following 13 episodes at a suggested retail price of $19.97 US. Batman is voiced by Diedrich Bader, doing a surprisingly great job, and guest stars include Aquaman, Plastic Man, Blue Beetle, Red Tornado, Green Arrow, Wildcat, Deadman, Bronze Tiger, and Atom.
The high point is the Music Meister episode, with the musical villain played by Neil Patrick Harris. That one was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score). I'm really enjoying this show for its humor and old-fashioned homages. Recommended for young and old alike.
This is a great series. If this was released on Blu-Ray, I'd totally snatch it up…
I haven't seen any Warner animation TV on Blu-ray — that's only the original movies so far, I think?
I love B&TB. And as a fan of Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters, last nights episode was a dream come true. Hilarious! The scene where Uncle Sam giving Batmans costume a little "American Spirit" is not to be missed. I will be buying all the episodes.

AAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood illness. In some patients, this illness may persist into adulthood and an association between ADHD and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) has been found in childhood. However, it is unclear how OSA and ADHD coincide in adulthood. Therefore, to explore the relationship between OSA and adult ADHD the current investigation utilized a clinically-based cross-sectional survey. Subjects consisted of 81 treatment-naïve OSA patients and 32 controls. Measures included each patient completed a questionnaire regarding sleep, Adult ADHD scale. Clinical information, body mass index, 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and polysomnography.The subjects with Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) ≥ 5 events/h were defined as patients with OSA. The control group was accepted as individuals with AHI > 0 events/h. The prevalence of adult ADHD was not different between the patients with OSA and the control group [(7.4 % (6/75) vs. 6.3 % (2/30), p = 0.8, respectively]. OSA patients with ADHD, as compared with those without, had higher anxiety scores and poorer physical component scores of quality of life and higher ESS scores. ADHD scores in patients with OSA were associated with anxiety and depression scores and SF36 physical and mental component scores in bivariate analyses. Thus, in our sample ADHD was not a frequent illness in adult patients with OSA. However, in patients with OSA and ADHD higher levels of anxiety and daytime sleepiness and poorer quality of life was found.

Topic Contents
Allergic Rhinitis Medicines and Children
Topic Overview
Children with allergic rhinitis have the same treatment options as adults. They should avoid substances that trigger their allergies (allergens), and they usually need to use medicine to control symptoms. Your child may also get allergy shots.
Don't give medicines to your child without talking to your child's doctor. You and the doctor will be able to find the right kind of medicine for your child. The medicine you and your doctor choose will depend on your child's symptoms and the possible side effects from taking medicine.
Nasal corticosteroids
- Nasal corticosteroids are the most effective medicine for treating allergic rhinitis in children. There are different medicines, such as triamcinolone (Nasacort), budesonide (Rhinocort), ciclesonide (Omnaris), or fluticasone (Flonase or Veramyst). All of them work well.
- Nasal corticosteroids have few side effects.
Antihistamines come in different forms, such as pills, liquid, dissolvable tablets, eye drops, or nasal sprays.
- Antihistamines are available in over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and loratadine (Claritin).
- Some antihistamines are available by prescription. They include desloratadine (Clarinex), cetirizine (Zyrtec), and azelastine (Astelin).
- Some medicines may make your child sleepy. But your child's doctor may be able to start your child on a medicine that won't make him or her sleepy.
Leukotriene modifiers
- Leukotriene modifiers, such as montelukast (Singulair), come in tablet, liquid, or granule form.
- Montelukast may be prescribed for children with allergic rhinitis who also have asthma.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Coffee enemas are the enema-related procedure of inserting coffee into the anus to cleanse the rectum and large intestines. This procedure, although well documented, is considered by most medical authorities to be unproven, rash and potentially dangerous.[1][2]
Contents |
While the idea of rectal cleansing dates back to the Egyptians, the notion of caffeine as an enema-related substance is relatively new. It was conceived in 1917, and appeared in the Merck Manual until 1972.[3]
In 1920, German scientists investigated caffeine's effect on the bile duct and small intestines. Max Gerson proposed coffee enemas had a positive effect of the gastro-intestinal tract; Gerson said that coffee enemas had positive effects on patients with tuberculosis, and later even cancer. He claimed that unlike saline enemas, the caffeine traveled through the smooth muscle of the small intestine, and into the liver. This, he said, cleared even more of the gastro-intestinal tract and removed more toxins and bile than a normal enema. He told his patients often that the "coffee enemas are not given for the function of the intestines but for the stimulation of the liver."[3]
Some proponents of alternative medicine have claimed that coffee enemas have an anti-cancer effect by "detoxifying" metabolic products of tumors.[4] There is no medical scientific evidence to support any anti-cancer effect of coffee enemas.[2][5][6]
Coffee enemas can cause numerous side effects, including infections, sepsis (including campylobacter sepsis), severe electrolyte imbalance, colitis, polymicrobial enteric septicemia, proctocolitis, salmonella brain abscess and heart failure.[4][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] If the coffee is inserted too quickly or is too hot, it could cause internal burning[14] or rectal perforation.[15] Long term use of coffee enemas can lead to malabsorption of fat, fat-soluble vitamins, and calcium.[16]
The use of coffee enemas has led to several deaths as a result of severe electrolyte imbalance, hyponatremia, dehydration, pleural and pericardial effusions.[8][16] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ruled that study participants must be warned of the risk of death from coffee enemas in studies that use them.[17][18]

Despite Outrage, Philip Morris International Expands Global "Be Marlboro" Campaign
Marketing campaign has been found to target teens
Jul 15, 2014
Despite international media criticism and widespread calls from public health groups and government officials to end its "Be Marlboro" marketing campaign, Philip Morris International is doubling down and expanding its youth-oriented campaign around the globe.
A March 2014 report by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and other public health groups exposed how the campaign uses themes and images sure to appeal to youth. With the slogan "Don't be a Maybe. Be Marlboro," the ads feature images of attractive young people falling in love, playing music, partying, and taking risks.

Lode Runner Classic Dashes onto Mobile Phones
Jonathan Anson / Jan 19th, 2013 No Comments
Game developer Tozai Games has officially released their latest game Lode Runner Classic for iOS and Android smartphone devices.
The release comes thirty years after the release of the groundbreaking puzzle platformer Lode Runner that was first released for Apple II computers in 1983 by Brøderbund.
Lode Runner Classic is a completely remastered version of the original game which mixed both puzzle and platforming elements. Playing as a hapless and nameless spelunker, players must navigate across 150 maze like stages with the goal being to collect all the gold pieces on the stage.
Players must be both cunning and quick as they navigate ladders and platforms while also dodging enemies who actively pursue them. To add to the challenge, players cannot jump or directly attack foes with the only offense allowed being to blast blocks beneath their feet trapping them in the ground.
Lode Runner Classic's release on smartphones also coincides with the 30th anniversary of the original release of the game which has acquired a strong following and has served as the foundation of a franchise of many ports, sequels and remakes that have been made by many publishers and developers across numerous consoles and computer systems. Lode Runner Classic will be the latest game in the franchise.
"When the first Lode Runner came out on the Apple II, the last thing I expected was that the game would be alive and kicking on a platform as advanced as today's smartphones more than 30 years later," Game Creator Douglas E. Smith said on the game's anniversary and the latest game. "It's really gratifying to me that so many people are still interested in the game."
Fans of Lode Runner or those who have never played the game and long for a challenge should definitely consider adding this title to their smartphones.

A Little Weird? Prone to Depression? Blame Your Creative Brain. Whenever you want to do something extraordinary, risky, or scary in your life (something that you know in your heart that you need to do, but it would really be more convenient to ignore it and just not do it), it's essential to surround yourself with inspiring, encouraging, like-minded people.
If they're leaders in their own right who to a certain degree have done what you long to do, even better. I first met Gwyneth Leech last summer at my nephew's first birthday party in Brooklyn (she's my sister's husband's cousin). How Creativity Connects with Immorality. In the mid 1990's, Apple Computers was a dying company.
Microsoft's Windows operating system was overwhelmingly favored by consumers, and Apple's attempts to win back market share by improving the Macintosh operating system were unsuccessful. After several years of debilitating financial losses, the company chose to purchase a fledgling software company called NeXT. Along with purchasing the rights to NeXT's software, this move allowed Apple to regain the services of one of the company's founders, the late Steve Jobs.
Under the guidance of Jobs, Apple returned to profitability and is now the largest technology company in the world, with the creativity of Steve Jobs receiving much of the credit. However, despite the widespread positive image of Jobs as a creative genius, he also has a dark reputation for encouraging censorship," losing sight of honesty and integrity", belittling employees, and engaging in other morally questionable actions. How to be creative. Abstraction. Abstraction is a process by which concepts are derived from the usage and classification of literal ("real" or "concrete") concepts, first principles, or other methods.
"An abstraction" is the product of this process—a concept that acts as a super-categorical noun for all subordinate concepts, and connects any related concepts as a group, field, or category.[1] Abstractions may be formed by reducing the information content of a concept or an observable phenomenon, typically to retain only information which is relevant for a particular purpose. For example, abstracting a leather soccer ball to the more general idea of a ball retains only the information on general ball attributes and behavior, eliminating the other characteristics of that particular ball.[1] Origins[edit] Creativity. Creativity is a phenomenon whereby something new and valuable is created (such as an idea, a joke, an artistic or literary work, a painting or musical composition, a solution, an invention etc.).
The ideas and concepts so conceived can then manifest themselves in any number of ways, but most often, they become something we can see, hear, smell, touch, or taste. Creative problem solving. Creative problem-solving, a type of problem solving, is the mental process of searching for a new and novel creative solution to a problem, a solution which is novel, original and not obvious.
Creative solution types[edit] The creative solution[edit] To qualify as creative problem-solving, the solution must solve the stated problem in a novel way, and the solution must be reached independently.[1] Creative problem-solving usually begins with defining the problem. This may lead to a simple non-creative solution, or to finding a "textbook solution". Convergent and divergent production. Convergent and divergent production are the two types of human response to a set problem that were identified by J.P.
Guilford (1967). Guilford observed that most individuals display a preference for either convergent or divergent thinking. Others observe that most people prefer a convergent closure. [citation needed] As opposed to TRIZ or lateral thinking divergent thinking is not about tools for creativity or thinking, but a way of categorizing what can be observed. Divergent thinking[edit] Divergent thinking. Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions.
It is often used in conjunction with convergent thinking, which follows a particular set of logical steps to arrive at one solution, which in some cases is a "correct" solution. Divergent thinking typically occurs in a spontaneous, free-flowing manner, such that many ideas are generated in an emergent cognitive fashion. Don't Shut Down Other Lines of Thought. Creativity Rocks! There are few things that are more satisfying than coming up with a creative solution to a vexing problem.
In fact, the feeling you get from finding a clever way out of a mess, of seeing old things in a new ways, or of making something from nothing can be wonderfully addictive. Unfortunatley, most people aren't encouraged to be creative in their everyday lives. Is Your Idea Crazy Enough? Stupidity Rules for Creative Professionals. I'm having trouble being stupid.
Productively stupid, that is. I have infinite reserves of unproductive stupidity—ignoring my car's oil light, losing my wallet, hiring the wrong person. Twelve Things You Were Not Taught in School About Creative Thinking. Myths of Right-Brained Creativity. "I'm not creative.
I'm very left-brained. " "My teachers killed my creativity . " "I'm just not into being all different and original and weird. " As a creativity consultant, I often hear such comments. What underlie each of them are myths about creativity, myths perpetuated often by other consultants and by incomplete conclusions derived from the science of creativity.
Alcohol Benefits the Creative Process. Creative thought is something we often aspire to. Whether it's in terms of artistic products, scientific discoveries, or business innovations, creative accomplishments drive advancement in much of what we do. But what sorts of things enhance creativity ? A popular belief is that altered cognitive processing, whether from sleep , insanity, or alcohol use, sparks creativity among artists, composers, writers, and problem-solvers. Perhaps due to the fact that the rarity of great accomplishments make them hard to study, however, little research has actually shown how creative processes change when people, for example, have a few drinks. WHERE GOOD IDEAS COME FROM by Steven Johnson. A Computer-Model for the Creative Process Beyond Simple Brainstorming « Visualizing the Invisible. To build computer systems which particularly support creativity, an abstract process model is necessary.
Most creativity support systems used in practice, so far only address a simple gathering of ideas in the style of a less-strict version of the Brainstorming-technique. Our main goal was, to find a more generic model which allows for the instantiation of more complex creativity techniques. Making Good Lessons Great: Incorporating Multiple Iintelligences and Creative Thinking into Everyday Lesson Plans « clearings. By Betty K. Wood and Andrew L. Hunt, University of Arkansas at Little Rock Sarah C.
Deadlines : Creativity and Time. Five glorious presentations on visual thinking. Do you think in words or pictures, or both? Visual thinking engages the part of the brain that handles visual processing, and is said to be both "emotional and creative" so you can "organise information in an intuitive and simultaneous way". A picture really might be worth a thousand words, while being easier to understand and recall. How Geniuses Think. If You Are Creative, Are You Also Intelligent? According to an article in Newsweek , here in the United States we apparently have a creativity crisis .
According to Kyung Hee Kim at the College of William and Mary, scores on the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking have been decreasing since the 1990's. The same article mentions that China is making a push to move away from rote memorization and adopt a more problem centered learning approach, perhaps like that of America.

Dr. Foggs's statement:
NAEPP Guidelines-level care must be made available to all individuals with asthma.
Despite progressive advances made in the past twenty years in asthma research, much of which is included in the 2007 NAEPP/NHLBI Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma, there has been no major improvement in asthma morbidity and mortality among inner-city dwellers.
These patients are most often unknowingly denied access to these nationally established evidence-based practice standards for appropriate asthma management, through restricted formularies and restricted access to asthma specialists. Yet they are at the greatest risk of death and suffer the highest physical, financial and emotional burden of asthma. They have no chance of breaking the cycle of chronic disease until we fix a broken system and provide access to NAEPP Guidelines-level care, which includes access to medications and to specialty care without discrimination.
If we want to reduce morbidity and mortality and the associated excessive costs of poorly controlled asthma in our country, this is where we must start.
Restricted access to appropriate asthma medications and to asthma specialists ultimately increases resource utilization when the patient turns to the Emergency Department as an outpatient clinic and when preventable asthma exacerbations lead to preventable hospitalizations.
Formal asthma education programs must be integrated into school curricula to teach students with asthma, and their families, how to manage asthma and how to avoid or eliminate asthma triggers.
Doctors who care for inner-city patients with asthma must be regularly updated on how to develop and deliver appropriate asthma management strategies using the NAEPP guidelines. We know this care saves lives, eliminates suffering and reduces healthcare expenditures. It's time to put it in place for all patients.
If we are to experience true healthcare reform, we must understand that the current model for asthma care among Medicaid and Medicare patients is broken. We know how to fix it and we need your help.
New healthcare reform legislation must include facilitating access to NAEPP Guidelines-level quality asthma care and eliminate political and policy barriers that limit patient access to appropriate and available asthma medications and specialty care.

Sometimes listing photos can be boring, sometimes they stop us dead in our tracks. This happens to me often as I'm perusing homes of the rich and famous. A lot of things don't surprise me anymore. Eight car garage? Seen it. Outdoor tennis court? Been there, done that. Jacuzzi tub? So blasé.
But there are still plenty of occasions where my jaw drops and I can't believe my eyes. Sometimes it's a home that looks like a castle, or a cave. Sometimes it's questionable art and design decisions. Sometimes it's an elephant in the backyard.
I've gathered my favorite jaw-dropping moments into a Redfin Collection called "Just Wow." Below are a few photos from the Collection – be sure to browse the full Collection via the link above and follow it to stay up to date on the latest additions.
"Just Wow" is just one of thousands of Redfin Collections that have been created since the launch of the feature in December. With Collections, you can browse through and share photos of homes.
In fact there are so many fabulous Collections that we've decided to share our favorites on a regular basis here on the Redfin blog.
