Ships in Yangtze River Aided by GPS
The Yangtze River Maritime Safety Administration started the global position system (GPS) to monitor 107 passenger ships sailing in the Three Gorges enveloped by a dense fog. It ordered the ships to stop and wait by sending short text messages after the fog became too dense for sailing. Since China's Spring Festival travel season started three days ago, 50,000 passengers have safely traveled in and out of the Three Gorges. The upper reaches of Yangtze River, China's longest, have been hit by extreme dense fogs recently. As a measure of preventing sailing accidents, maritime authorities equipped passenger ships in the river with GPS facilities free of charge. Knowing the location of each ship, the authorities can easily monitor and manage the sailing in the river. Once a ship is engaged in dangerous activities such as sailing at night, the monitor system will give an alarm to the authorities. Most of the traffic in Yangtze River during the Spring Festival holiday season will take place in the Three Gorges, as 580,000 passengers will be transported by 160 ships. (Source: www.chinaview.cn)

Yeah, I'd have liked to make custom legs, but unfortunately I'm running short on hollow ball joints, which are the bread and butter of custom limbs. Most of my MOCs are now allotted one set of custom limbs, and I'd already decided to make the arms have swords on them...While I'm not a part of the swarms that insist on "custom" on MOC's, I find that the legs could be slightly more inventive in design, if only because the use of the simple legs contrasts from, and I feel detracts from, the rest of the creation, which is overall much more inventive. Also, the trans-orange pieces on the thighs are a different shade from the rest of the trans-orange, although that's a bit of a nit-pick.
Thanks for the input. I'm trying to get better at color layering, but I've still got a ways to go.The color layering is a bit haphazard, with orange and white coexisting side-by-side, combined with white over orange and orange over white in various places.

Glad to find a nice link to a great demo of IronPython from Jim Hugunin.
In version 1 of WPF, we chose to not enable scripting scenarios, but instead require you to compile any code. At least that is what we thought...the demo shows:
"interactive exploration and GUI building from a command prompt as well as simple embedding as a scripting language in an existing Windows Presentation Foundation application."
It even shows loading some UI using XAML from IronPython code.
Love it!
Charles Petzold asks if we are deliberately or accidentally making code-based scenarios difficult. He sums it up well with the title of the piece: "XAML Rules (but Code Suffers)".
Thanks Charles for raising this issue. I'll make sure the right dev team sees the feedback.
Please let us know other scenarios that are difficult from code. We haven't found them all, but want to hear...many of these decisions are not deliberate.
We still have some constructs that the XAML parser uses that don't help us make sure we build well designed objects.
As I said back in October 2004:
For a long time, we've relied on IAddChild and let component authors decide what their ContentProperty was. We're hoping to decorate types with that information and remove IAddChild from Avalon.
We are now finally in the middle of trying to do that change. We are making the parser stop calling IAddChild. An example of fixes that we need to do to help make this possible:
So instead of having IAddChild implemented on Panel, we added the ContentProperty attribute to that class. We then make sure the collection that is returned by that property supports IList.
We are finding and fixing a bunch of issues including incompletely designed classes where problems where hidden by the reliance on IAddChild...
In the public builds you may not be able to wean yourself from IAddChild yet...perhaps due to blocking bugs...but you should try. I'll eventually publish more details in this area...let me know if you are blocked by any lack of info here...
The much anticipated release of our November 2005 CTP of WinFX is here.See Tom Archer's announcement with pointers to the installs.Karsten also posts some good information about the release.
This is the last time you'll need to uninstall/clean your machine of .Net Framework 2.0 and VS 2005 betas.
Woo Hoo!
Doing my feedster search for WPF, I found a post where Aaron was excited about embedding a combo box inside a textbox. He has a picture of it in action.
One key developer benefit of WPF is that you can easily embed almost any control inside of another. Checkbox inside of a Menu, yep. ComboBox inside of a RichTextBox, yep. etc...
How substantial a capability is this for you? What scenarios does it enable that you are excited about?
(I'm trying a new setting for this post...syndicating an excerpt...)
Many people say that Databinding is one of the more impactful of the features in WPF.Namita wrote a great set of demos for her PDC talk about Databinding with WPF.
As part of a few talks (some VB customers, a Vista + WPF talk, a talk at the Borland Developer Conference), I used that demo.
I've finally gotten around to posting my version of it.
Here is a screen shot of the auction window:
If you click on the Map button in bottom left of that, a nice data visualization example is shown using a custom tree map control that I believe Kevin Moore wrote:
The app has a good separation between the data and the UI...
The items on the left of the auction window are just renderings for each AuctionItem in a listbox.
From Window1.xaml:
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=.}" LayoutTransform="scale .7 .7" Grid.Column="0" Name="itemDisplay" />
The rendering for each auction item is controlled by a data template that was specified in myapp.xaml declaratively.

Please let us know what you think.
I ran across a blog post complaining about the http://microsoft.com/jobs site. I found it because my feedster search for WinFX found it.
I commented on his blog, he used my Contact link to email me, and I just fired off an email that might be useful by others? (of course, now that I start to post it, I spend more time on it...)
Todd said that he was thinking more about the advice I had left in my comment of his original blog:
"My tip: figure out the set of products or problems that you are passionate about and look for jobs on those teams. (As you mention, it isn't always easy to map from a product to the job listings…)"
He said:
"...when your passion is developing any and all software and you're relatively open minded around what you want to work on, you're bound to get a lot of results. I was just hoping that there was an easier way to narrow down my search results."
I replied:
Groups are going to think you are more attractive if you have more background, expertise or passion in their area. You know about their product, you have ideas on what they do well and what they can do better, etc...
I had similar problems when I got my first Redmond based job at Microsoft...
After college (B.S. '93 Computer Science at Michigan) I started off as a Systems Engineer in the Microsoft field (worked in the Chicago Office.) I was lucky to be in the first round of hiring that Microsoft had ever done out of college for that position. That position is now called Technical Specialist. I worked with a variety of customers and on a variety of technologies. I built a great set of skills dealing with customers, public speaking, and learning many technologies.
Although I knew a good amount about a lot of things, I wanted to get closer to product development. I had a bunch of exposure to Program Managers...and I yearned for a role like that. I wanted to be the absolute expert in an area. I wanted to help build great products. I didn't exactly know which group to go after. I decided to start with Visual Studio as I was very interested in developer technologies.
2 interviews in the Visual Studio group didn't pan out - the product manager interview said I was too technical...the program manager interview said I was too marketing. :-)
I realized I had to do some more preparation. My coding skills were 5 years rusty, so I went online, did a few C++ projects from a Computer Science class at some school, and re-read a few books about COM/OLE2. That preparation sharpened my skills for the next job I would go after.
I understand Todd's frustration with the job site. Back in 1998, I wrote a tool to keep track of jobs posted in an access database, because the internal online system was inadequate.
I rolled up my sleeves and continue my search for a great role for me. I found two great jobs where I had strong knowledge and passion:
In my Systems Engineer role, I had become an Internet Specialist. At the time, I was giving 3 hour training sessions to midwest developers about DHTML, IIS programming, MTS and more. Both areas excited me...and I was fairly deep in both areas.
I pursued both of those jobs and ended up getting an offer from both groups.
I chose the IE job...and spent 1998-2001 working on DHTML in IE5 - IE6. I've been working on the Windows Presentation Foundation ("Avalon") ever since then. I love buidling software. I love working with a bunch of hard working, brilliant people. I love working at Microsoft.
Some lessons I took away:
Good Luck!
As part of my thinking about Urls, I dug a bit more into Url Rewriting as a way to have nice URLs.
More Details on Good Urls
I found a good summary of the issues and solutions here: next generation urls.
It included a list of other articles on the subject dating back to 1999:
Numerous articles have been written about the need for clean URLs. A few of the more prominent ones are cited here. Tim Berners Lee's Cool URIs don't change Jakob Nielsen on URL as UI ...
Numerous articles have been written about the need for clean URLs. A few of the more prominent ones are cited here.
It summarizes:
At this point, the main thing standing in the way of the adoption of next generation URLs is the simple fact that so few developers know they are possible, while some who do are too comfortable with the status quo to explore them in earnest. This is a pity, because while these improved URLs may not be the mythical URN-style keyword always promised to be just around the corner, they can substantially improve the Web experience for both users and developers alike in the long run.
Searched for the term Url Rewriting and found this: Ryan Farley about Url rewriting in ASP.NETUrl Rewriting is possible in several ways with ASP.NET, but should it be that hard??
Ryan points to Scott Watermasysk's comments about Url Rewriting not being that important. Some of his blog comments don't agree with him.
Will another Url Manifesto help?
Given all this writing about this topic for the past 6 years, how come it hasn't gotten easier in that time? If you use normal authoring tools and normal web servers, you still have to do a bunch of work to make this work. Unless we make it the default experience, users won't get good urls.
I need to think if adding another manifesto to this space will even have an impact. Lots of people have been writing about what should be done, about how to go do it.
Or is it that URLs don't matter that much?
How to make better progress?
It appears that nobody has tried to fix this by fixing the web servers, authoring tools, etc...
Microsoft could invest a bit across many of its products to make big improvements in this space.
What could Authoring Tools (Frontpage, Office, VS, etc...) do better?What could Windows do better?What could Web Infrastructure (IIS, IE, etc...) do better?
As always, there are tons of things that those teams need to focus on. Tons of priorities.
Many ways to influence teams at Microsoft
As one voice among many, how should a Microsoft employee influence other teams at Microsoft?How does one of our customers influence teams at Microsoft?
I believe it depends on the number of teams you want to influence. This problem likely takes effort from many...
Would I be more effective working internally over email and through meetings, or via a blog and manifesto?Are you most effective asking management to say something is important, or working individually with teams?
Is it worth my energy?
Early this morning, I'm spending a little time organizing my home office.
There is so much paper, so much to manage. Many things can improve this...I'm going to focus this quick post on consumer product manuals.
This is yet another post that related to the ideas brewing in my head for a url manifesto.
My New LCD TVI bought a new TV recently for use in my office. I unpacked it a few weeks ago.Now, I need to figure out what to do with the manuals, warrantees, etc... that came with it.
Documents that came with itTelevision Users GuideManuel D'Instructions (french version of Users Guide, i now realize that this tv was meant for distribution in Canada...not sure how I ended up with it).WarrantyWarnings sheet - warning you not to scrape your belt buckle on the screen as you unload the box.Product Registration Card
Things I could see ImprovingDocuments that might be worth saving should have an electronic version available on the net.Manuals should have their digital location url listed on the back cover.In my case, I'd love to see something like: Electronic Version: jvc.com/TVManual-LT-26X776I would generally ditch the paper version, and download the electronic version. It is easier to store, find, etc...
Guidelines:Printed documents/manuals should generally also be available on the net.Printed documents should indicate (in a standard way) the url of this document.The Url for a document should be a simple, descriptive, unique, longlasting url.
IssuesHow do you deal with the different language versions of a manual?A) encode it in the URLB) make the URL provide links to all the language versionsC) detect the users language at the URL and redirect to the right document
What format do you publish the document in?PDF, HTML, Word, etc...Many choose PDF today...When Windows Vista ships, XPS (Xml Paper Specification) and WPF flow documents are 2 new options to consider.

Apple loses long-time board member, discloses big pay packages by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine January 22, 2015, 7:33 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Long-time Apple board member Millard "Mickey" Drexler is stepping down from his position at the tech giant. Apple said Thursday that Drexler, the CEO of clothing retailer J. Crew, has said he will not seek re-election when his current terms ends at the company's annual meeting in March. No replacement to the eight-member board has yet been named. Drexler had served on the board since 1999. Drexler's departure will create an opening for the first addition to Apple's board — which includes Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger and former vice president Al Gore — since Sue Wagner, a founding partner of BlackRock, joined last year after Bill Campbell stepped down after 17 years on the board. Meanwhile, Thursday's regulatory filing also showed that Apple new retail head, Angela Ahrendts, was paid roughly $73.4 million in cash and stock last year. That's compared to CEO Tim Cook, who took home $9.2 million in 2014. The reason for the disparity? Well, Cook's base salary is actually much higher than Ahrendts' — $1.8 million for Cook, compared to just over $400,000 for Ahrendts — but the former Burberry CEO received about $70 million worth of Apple stock as part of a compensation package meant to lure her to Apple from Burberry last year. Cook also received more money in the form of non-equity compensation — $6.7 million for Cook versus $1.7 million for Ahrendts. In the filing, Apple AAPL said it took into account Ahrendts' compensation as head of the U.K. fashion house when determining what to pay her. "At the time, Ms. Ahrendts was among the highest paid executives in the U.K. and held unvested Burberry equity awards with a value of approximately $37 million," Apple said. "She also received cash and perquisites from Burberry that exceeded $5 million annually, which was significantly higher than the cash opportunities provided to the Company's executive officers." Apple brought on Ahrendts to take charge of its retail and online sales operations, including selling the new Apple Watch, which is to debut by summer. It should also be noted that Cook has received huge amounts of compensation in the form of vested Apple stock options in past years, including nearly $70 million in 2013. In 2011, the year he took over for Steve Jobs as Apple's CEO, Cook received more than $370 million worth of Apple stock, much of it in vesting shares, as part of his compensation package.
2014's Most Powerful Women on Twitter by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine September 22, 2014, 11:47 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Being one of Fortune's Most Powerful Women means you're pretty busy. You've got a company to run, shareholders to please and families to spend time with. But some of the women who made our annual list, published in our latest issue, make some time for Twitter. Well, okay, some spend time on Twitter while others seem to barely use their accounts. Here's where you can find them (in order of the number of followers they have) and get a sense of their tweeting style.
Apple's Angela Ahrendts talks by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine June 24, 2014, 9:04 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons I was dying to hear from Angela Ahrendts what her first months at Apple AAPL were like. The former CEO of Burberry — a legend in the world of fashion retailing and a gifted communicator — was not only dropped into Apple's executive staff at the highest level, but she was writing publicly about the experience. So I read "Starting Anew," Ahrendts' inaugural post as a LinkedIn "Influencer," with great interest Monday. What a let-down. Not that it isn't well written. Not that she doesn't give good advice — seemingly from the heart — about how to handle the first disorienting 30, 60, or 90 days at a new job in a new sector, a new culture and a new country. (To a girl from Indiana, Silicon Valley "can feel like a country unto itself.") What's disappointing is that she give nothing away. I didn't expect insider gossip or product leaks. She's a professional, after all, who didn't rise to the level of chief executive officer by talking out of school. But she might have shared a little color, from her fresh eyes, about what life is like these days in one of the world's white hot centers of innovation. The only hint we get about how it felt to go from CEO of a $3.4 billion company to senior vice president at a $170 billion one is this, her first piece of advice: "'Stay in your lane.' You've been hired because you bring a certain expertise to the team and the company. Try to resist putting additional or undue pressure on yourself trying to learn it all from day one. It's human nature to feel insecure about everything you 'don't know.' By staying focused on your core competencies you will be able to contribute much sooner, add greater value long term, and enjoy and have more peace especially in the early days." It's advice that by Tuesday morning had been read by 90,000 LinkedIn members and upvoted by 2,000.

Apple's 3rd Tokyo store, Angela Ahrendt's first by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine June 13, 2014, 7:37 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Apple AAPL already had seven retail outlets in Japan and two in the capital, but with Japanese iPhone sales going gangbusters, the company treated the opening Friday of its new store in Tokyo — on tree-lined Omotesando Avenue — as if it were its first. On Thursday, it posted a pre-opening video of the big glass box on YouTube — the first time it's ever done that, according to ifoapplestore's Gary Allen. And it flew Angela Ahrendts out to oversee the festivities. It was a coming out party of sorts for Burberry's former CEO, who was hired by Apple in October but didn't officially join the company until last month. She sent her first memo to Apple's retail staff Thursday, and her first tweet from Omotesando. In addition to Apple's official video, there were plenty of unofficial YouTubes shot from a line of customers that seemed to go on forever. The countdown: Warming up the crowd: Walking the line from the front: Walking the line from the back: The night before: Apple's official pre-opening video
The sun never sets on Angela Ahrendts' Apple retail empire by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine May 20, 2014, 10:51 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Click to see the sequence of store openings. FORTUNE — "I give them two years before they're turning out the lights on a very painful and expensive mistake," David Goldstein, president of researcher Channel Marketing Corp., told Businessweek in the May 20, 2001, article famously titled "Sorry Steve, Here's Why Apple Stores Won't Work." Ahrendts and her predecessors: Jobs, Johnson, Browett Thirteen years later to the day, those Apple Stores don't just work, they've become the world's most profitable retail operations — by far — generating $5,626 per square foot, according to a 2011 RetailSails report. Tiffany & Co. came in a distant second with sales of $2,949 per square foot. But as Needham's Charlie Wolf reports, same-store sales fell 5% in the March quarter, a "lackluster performance" he attributes to the absence of new products: "Notwithstanding the recent slowdown in the growth of store revenues, which has paralleled that of the parent company, the Apple Stores continue to play a pivotal role in building the Apple brand. Indeed, in our view they are the "face" of Apple, offering a buying experience superior to any other retail chain." Source: Asymco The anniversary of the opening on May 19, 2001 of the first store in McLean, VA, and the arrival two weeks ago of Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts have focused attention once again on the company's retail empire, now 424-stores strong. On Monday, 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman posted a detailed — if somewhat fawning — report on what Ahrendts plans to do as Apple's third retail czar (after Target's Ron Johnson and Dixon's John Browett). And on Tuesday, Asymco's Horace Dediu published a set of charts that look at the store's economics every which way, from average revenue per visitor to average visitors per employee per quarter. But my favorite tribute to the 13th anniversary is the interactive graphic produced by the coupon site Retale. Click on the world map (attached above) to see the 464 stores pop open in sequence, like the little light bulbs Businessweek suggested would have been shut off long ago.
If you read one (more) thing about Apple buying Beats… by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine May 13, 2014, 2:37 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons FORTUNE — Apple AAPL being what it is, Ben Thompson doesn't talk much about the time he spent at Apple University, Steve Jobs' top-secret graduate level training program on what makes Apple Apple. But in Monday's column — Why Apple Is Buying Beats — Thompson shares one lesson he was taught there: That Apple has grown so big, change is inevitable. In the future, managing and understanding that change will be paramount. It's in this context that Thomson would have you understand why Tim Cook might consider sharing management of Apple — the company Steve Jobs built — with Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine and Angela Ahrendts. Thompson takes as a given that Apple needs to find a new way to grow, now that the one-time burst of spectacular growth created by the iPhone is leveling off. "Apple Computer the name may have been retired in 2007," he writes, "But Apple the personal computer company is 38 years old, and very well may have grown as big as it can grow." Is it doomed to simply slowly fade, delivering massive profits and interesting side projects along with a stagnant stock, much like Microsoft in the 2000s? It wouldn't be a failure of Tim Cook, but more the natural order of such things. Or are we witnessing a reinvention, into the sort of company that seeks to transcend computing, demoting technology to an essential ingredient of an aspirational brand that identifies its users as the truly with it? Is Apple becoming a fashion house? Think about it: you have Jony Ive as all-up head of design, the equivalent of a Tom Ford or Donatella Versace. There is the hire of Angela Ahrendts – why would she leave the CEO position of Burberry for a Senior VP role? You have an iPhone framed as an experience, not a product. And now you acquire an accessory maker differentiated almost completely by its brand, not its inherent technical quality. Thompson quotes Benedict Evans, who wrote that the rumored $3.2 billion purchase of Beats — a rumor not likely to be confirmed before Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference on June 2 — is like a Rorschach Blot: "People who think Apple has lost its way see this as proof, while people who don't assume there must be some other piece to the puzzle (TV? wearables?) that we can't see to make this deal makes sense." Thompson's analysis takes it to another level. He sees the deal more clearly than most Wall Street analysts. He doesn't necessarily like what he sees. LINK: Why Apple Is Buying Beats. Highly recommended. You can follow Thomson at stratechery.com or on Twitter @monkbent. You can support him by paying for his newsletter.
Angela Ahrendts' big first week as queen of Apple retail by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine May 6, 2014, 11:52 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons FORTUNE — Angela Ahrendts isn't wasting any time. It's been less than a week since the 9th most powerful woman in Britain left Burberry for Apple AAPL and she's already making headlines left and right. May 1: Her bio appears on Apple's corporate website, triggering dozens of news stories, many speculating that she could be Apple's next CEO. May 5: Apple alerts the SEC that Ahrendts has been granted 113,334 restricted stock units that vest over four years. At Monday's closing price of $600.96, her RSUs would be worth $68 million. May 9: Okay, this is just a rumor, but 9to5Mac reports that Apple is planning an "enormous iPhone-related event in its stores" at which owners of older iPhones will have an opportunity to trade up to an iPhone 5S or 5C. The retail staff is reportedly being briefed on Thursday, presumably for a Friday event. Apple's retail division could use the help. It's been rudderless for almost two years, during which time same-store sales have languished. The chart below is from a report to clients issued Monday by Needham's Charlie Wolf. Note how flat the blue diamond line is compared with the rising yellow squares. Wolf's analysis: Apple revenues and Apple Store same-store sales grew at roughly the same pace from 2002 through 2007. Then they decoupled following the introduction of the iPhone. Unlike the Mac and iPods, which were distributed proportionately through the Apple Stores and other retail chains, the iPhone in addition is distributed through over 250 carriers around the globe. So there's been a dramatic shift in Apple's revenues from its traditional channels—the Apple Stores and retail chains—to a completely new one. The decoupling was magnified by the fact that the iPhone quickly became Apple's largest revenue producer.
Corporate bio of the day: Apple's Angela Ahrendts by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine May 2, 2014, 10:30 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons FORTUNE — Angela Ahrendts, Apple's AAPL most prominent executive hire since Steve Jobs, landed on the corporate webpage late Thursday above her new title: Senior Vice President Retail and Online Stores. It's classic clash of cultures: London's glamorous Regent Street, where Ahrendts re-invigorated Burberry's BURBY moldy brand, and Cupertino's nerdy Infinite Loop, where Tim Cook runs a tightly wound ship. The contrast with Cook couldn't be more striking, and invites speculation about what kind of corporate makeover Apple is trying to engineer. Fortune has not been immune to Ahrendt's charms. She appeared on the cover of the European edition of the magazine two years ago — long before Apple — and for the past six months we've been covering her like a Leather Touch Screen Glove ($495 at Burberry). See: Five videos: Tim Cook taps Burberry's CEO to run Apple retail Apple's Angela Ahrendts: What the pundits are saying Angela Ahrendts (with iPhone): 'THIS is the entry into the brand' Apple's really cool rhetoric is ready for an overhaul Apple's Angela Ahrendts: 'Wicked smart' and empathetic too
Apple's Angela Ahrendts: 'Wicked smart' and empathetic too by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine January 7, 2014, 3:11 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Ahrendts Angela Ahrendts was happy to be interviewed last summer by Jeff Chu — my former Time Magazine colleague — while she was still running Burberry BURBY . That door slammed shut the day Apple AAPL announced that she had been hired to run Cupertino's retail empire. But by then Chu had gathered enough material to put together the best profile yet on Apple's first female senior vice president since 2006 — a C-level star who shines so bright that after she was hired Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, a onetime Apple intern, tweeted "I just saw Future Apple CEO @AngelaAhrendts on her farewell @Burberry tour! The most important hire Tim Cook has ever made!" Chu offers some fresh details about what Ahrendts is expected to bring to Apple (hint: not stylish computer wearables), but what interested me most was what Chu learned about the search criteria Tim Cook gave the recruiting firm Egon Zehnder after Cook's first choice to run Apple Retail — John Browett — crashed and burned. An excerpt: Cook frequently uses the term wicked smart to describe the people who already work at Apple, as well as the ones whom he wants to work at Apple, and Browett fit. Problem was, he proved less deft at navigating Apple's often ferocious executive environment. "John was definitely wicked smart," says someone who has worked with both men. "But even wicked-smart people don't necessarily know how to figure out a culture…" Following Browett's departure … Apple once again turned to Egon Zehnder. The criteria didn't really change, but the priorities did. There were "big learnings when John didn't work out," says one company insider. "Wicked smart" was redefined more broadly and carefully. People skills and the ability to shape–as well as adapt to–culture "became more paramount." In a companywide email announcing Ahrendts's hiring, Cook wrote that she "places the same strong emphasis as we do on the customer experience." But he also added, significantly, that "she cares deeply about people and embraces our view that our most important resource and our soul is our people." (Of course, she was also deemed "wicked smart.") LINK: Can Apple's Angela Ahrendts spark a retail revolution?
Apple's Angela Ahrendts: What the pundits are saying by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine October 16, 2013, 2:20 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Ahrendts. Photo: Fortune Tim Cook's pick to head his retail operations may be famous in the fashion business, but it took Apple AAPL watchers — most of whom have never set foot in a Burberry outlet — much of Tuesday to figure out who Angela Ahrendts is. Then the pundits weighed in. Henry Blodget, Business Insider: "One question that arose after the news broke was why Ahrendts would go from CEO of Burberry to SVP of an Apple division — a seeming step down on the corporate hierarchy. There are likely at least two answers to this. The first is that Apple's retail business is vastly larger than Burberry, with about $16 billion in annual sales vs. Burberry's ~$2+ billion. The second is that, if Ahrendts fits into Apple's culture and does an excellent job running its retail business, she probably has a good chance to become the company's next CEO." John Paczkowski, AllThingsD: "Coming as it does following the ouster of former Apple retail boss John Browett, who was shown the door after just nine months on the job, Ahrendts's appointment is a crucial one for the company. Apple's retail business is a keystone of its success, and, according to an early morning all-hands memo from CEO Tim Cook, there's no better person in the world to run it than Ahrendts." Simon Ungless, San Francisco Academy of Art: "It's about being able to tap into trends — not just fashion trends, but what people want in their lives, what they're talking about — while maintaining a sense of the brand. I think that's what she's done at Burberry very well, and that feels like something they've lost at Apple." (via NYT) Om Malik, GigaOm: "I have said it before and I will say it again: Apple doesn't really have the internet gene, and it shows up time and again in how its products intersect with the internet and online services. A lot of that has to do with Apple's culture. Apple is a company that is notoriously closed and insular in terms of ideas, both adopting and adapting to them; just look at Apple's presence on social. Burberry under Ahrendts seemed the exact opposite." A $15,000 Burberry watch Jessica Lessin, Jessica Lessin: "Apple's new retail chief Angela Ahrendts is a watch lady, say people who know her. I am certainly not implying that Apple, which is developing the iWatch, nabbed this high-profile executive because she loves watches or because one of her most recent additions to the Burberry line was a very high-end watch brand (both true). I also hear she took particular interest in the watch retailing space in Burberry stores. Let's just say her passion for watches is a coincidence. Or maybe just a plus. Needless to say the merchandising around the iWatch, whenever it arrives, will be remarkable." Danielle Levitas, IDC: "What they need is someone like (Ahrendts) to say 'No woman is ever going to wear that,' They're not just making tech gadgets for tech geeks." (via Mercury News) Carolina Milanesi, Gartner: "I think Apple looked at Burberry and the challenges they had in the market, and saw her as the one who brought back that aspirational brand and then grew it in places like China, Korea and elsewhere. Those speak to the challenges Apple is having. Like Burberry, Apple has to deal with the fact that its brand is everywhere because of the iPhone, but they cannot run the risk that the brand is seen as cheap." (via Computerworld) John Gruber, Daring Fireball: "From Apple's perspective, there's no such thing as an 'emerging market'. There are certainly cultural differences between consumers in different countries, but the bottom line is that there are people who can afford iPhones and iPads, and people who can't. The class of people who can afford Apple products is growing faster in China than it is anywhere else… Apple's hirings of Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts (to head Apple's online and retail stores) and former Yves Saint Laurent CEO Paul Deneve ("special projects") fit right into this dynamic. Apple's path to success in China (and much of the rest of the world) is not to lower itself and compete purely on price against low-cost commodity Android devices. It is the opposite: to further separate its products, in terms of branding and quality, from its competition. The sweet spot for Apple in China is the same as it is in the U.S. and elsewhere: attainable, affordable, casual luxury." Ben Thompson, Stratechery: "We've clearly never seen a tech company like this before. Perhaps it's time to stop using tired PC tech company metaphors to predict their future."

EnteroMedics, Bionovo: Early Volume Plays
( Updated to correct Cell Therapeutics share price.)

EnteroMedics (ERTM) surged by 52 cents, or 64.2%, to $1.33 in early trading after the company said its Maestro System continues to meet its safety goals, according to data from weight loss, hypertension and diabetes clinical studies.

Details of Phish and the Ticket Luck value
Phish is a famous American rock band from Burlington, Vermont that has graced the world of music with its presence since its founding in 1983. It has been active since then, barring a few years in hiatus, and has released music through various record labels including JEMP, Elektra and Rhino/WMG. Its music features a mix of jazz fusion, avant-garde and various tastes of rock from progressive to rock and funk. Over the course of its long and famous career, it has been associated with a number of artists and bands including Phil Lesh and Friends, 70 Volt Parade, Oysterhead, Amfibian, Jazz Mandolin Project, Benevento/Russo Duo, Pork Tornado, Trey Anastasio, Rhythm Devils, Ramble Dove and SerialPod. It is a band to enjoy live with cheap Phish tickets for rock played in the very best way possible.
The eight million album selling Phish's lineup today consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Trey Anastasio, bassist and vocalist Mike Gordon, drummer and percussionist Jon Fishman and keyboardist Page McConnell. The group was active from 1983 until its breakup in 2004; however, the members reunited in 2009 for a series of concerts titled as Phish in Hampton and has been active since then, performing live where many enjoy Phish concert at affordable price. As a band, they have gained fame for having original concerts with each different in style, songs and order of performance. Their music has gone so far as to blend bluegrass, country and classical, resulting in a style that has been critically acclaimed as well as commercially acclaimed. Many have then gone on to enjoy Phish concert at affordable price.
Phish history began at The University of Vermont where the four members met in 1983. They performed their first live show at the university's cafeteria and started out as Blackwood Convention. They the moved to playing Grateful Dead songs in 1984 and by 1985, they were performing at bigger events and venues such as a WRUV Radio show in Burlington. During this time, members of the band were still studying. They then started releasing music such as the record, The White Tape. During this time, they had become a popular local band and were performing regularly at venues such as Nectar's restaurant. Their second album, an experimental collection of songs titled as The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday was released in 1988 and was primarily a senior year project of frontman Trey Anastasio.
By 1989, Phish's fame has reached as far as Boston where venues were sold out for their concerts. By this time, they had introduced innovation in their concerts by involving the audience heavily. As one of the first bands to have a following on the internet, they were signed onto Elektra Records and then released their first major label album, A Picture of Nectar. In 1992, they performed at the H.O.R.D.E festival and performed with artists such as Carlos Santana, touring all over the US and Europe. In 1995, their live album, A Live One, was certified gold. By this time, their songs were ranking high up the charts with positions such as eleventh on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. From 2001 onwards to 2003, the band went on hiatus and returned in 2003 for a tour and a festival that attracted more than sixty thousand fans, a record for the region. In 2004, before the band's breakup, they released the album Undermind and performed live at what looked like their final show with around sixty five thousand fans attending despite heavy rains spreading over a week.
Phish's reunion occurred in 2009 and saw them perform at festivals such as Bonnaroo as the headliner and releasing the album Joy. In 2010, they performed live at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. In 2012, they again headlined at the Bonnaroo music festival where many lined up to watch them live via Phish tickets. If you also want to be a part of their upcoming concerts then grab your cheap Phish tickets and watch the best rockers of all time.

Is Bristol Palin a Bigger Star Than Her Mom Now?
Bristol Palin dominated the news this week, with her military-precision responses to slights by Margaret Cho (Sarah made her do 'Dancing With the Stars'), Kathy Griffin (Bristol's chubby) and Keith Olberman (she's a "Worst Person"). All this attention has many wondering, is the daughter a bigger celebrity than her famous mom?
"Without any doubt Bristol is now the biggest star in the Palin household," an A-list Hollywood publicist tells me. "At the moment I would argue she's one of the biggest stars out there."
Easy, now. It's true that Bristol is finally finding her voice (with the help of a speechwriter, as Billy Bush opined this week on 'Access Hollywood') and this added attention along with her success on 'Dancing' has led to a whole host of offers and opportunities for the young mom. Books, reality shows, product endorsements ... you name it, she's been offered it.
One weekly celeb magazine editor tells me Bristol is "the new Kim Kardashian" on the scene.
"She's beautiful and real and not another one of those skinny Hollywood types. Add that she was a teen mom, which is very in right now with the MTV show and all, and you couldn't have written a better or more dramatic personal story. Sarah is yesterday's news. Bristol is today."
Get your Bristol/Kim K 2012 yard signs ready.

I can't understand how she made it to DWTS in the first place. She is not a star, or a famous singer, or even a good dancer. She and her mom set up phony e-mails and had half the repubs call in. She was THE worst dancer on the show! So many that were way better then her were told to leave. She is a cheater and her mom helped her. Why can't people just see the truth as it is? Ohh! I forgot, Sarah can see Russia from her back porch! That makes it ok to cheat. Maybe if I close my eyes they will go away. To think of the dancers that were so much better and told to leave just bothers me very much. But I am only one, wish there were more that can see the truth in this family.

Johnson, Winslow Say Jets Under Idzik Misled About Roles And Playing Time
The Jets are heading in a new direction, with a new front office and sideline hierarchy. But that doesn't mean the decisions of the previous regime will be so easily forgotten.

With a combined 22 losses, the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans don't have much to play for down the stretch.
Harvin Plans To Play, Johnson Hopes To 'Tear It Up' In Tennessee
Percy Harvin did not practice Wednesday, and Jets coach Rex Ryan wasn't so sure he'd have the wide receiver available against the Titans.
Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan: 'I Can't Believe We're 2-10 — It's A Joke'
"I feel sick," Ryan said. "Our guys just played great, for the most part, in a lot of areas. Dang. We can't buy a win."

Would the Jets (2-8) be in better shape right now had Michael Vick started from the beginning? Chris Johnson votes yes.

Thursday Night Fantasy Starters: Tom Brady, Chris Johnson And Rob Gronkowski
While the Jets have fallen badly, the Patriots have picked it up with two stellar offensive showings in the last two weeks. Tom Brady has found his rhythm, while tight end Rob Gronkowski is growing more dangerous each week. Here's a look at the key players on each side and which players belong in your fantasy line-up.
Injury Report: Updates On Eric Decker And Chris Johnson
After winning their season opener against a rather mediocre Oakland squad, the Jets have dropped their last two games against the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. Yet another NFC foe comes calling this Sunday, that in the form of the 2-1 Detroit Lions.

General manager John Idzik made some upgrades this past offseason, but if you think the Jets are truly built to win now I have a bridge to sell you.
Jets Seem Ready To Unleash 3-Headed Backfield Monster Against Packers
Chris Ivory, Chris Johnson and Bilal Powell helped power a rushing attack that gained 212 yards last Sunday — and could be a sneak peek at what the Jets' opponents might have to deal with on a weekly basis.
Jets' Best Defense Against The Packers Is Their Offense
The formula for the New York Jets to beat the Green Bay Packers is quite obvious: establish the power running game on offense and apply consistent pressure on defense.
Lichtenstein: Be Optimistic All You Want, But Ultimately They're Still The Jets
I'm not dismissing the possibility that the Jets will roll over the Raiders and their rookie quarterback, but I've been fooled so many times in the past that the following tenet is ingrained in my soul: Beware of high expectations.
Don't Sleep On This Offense: Jets Set To Deploy New Playmakers Vs. Raiders
The wish list for the Jets' offense was simple, yet ambitious. Playmakers — real difference makers — were needed, and general manager John Idzik went shopping during the offseason.
Keidel: Don't Underestimate The Giants And Overvalue The Jets
The consensus seems to be the Giants are rancid and the Jets are rising. In Wall Street vernacular, the world is bullish on the Jets, but bears on the Giants. But haven't we heard this before?
Is Sunday's Game Against The Raiders A Must-Win For The Jets?
Ever think that an NFL team could face a "must win" situation in Week 1 of a 16-game season? Well, for the New York Jets that could very well be the case as the team faces a daunting schedule in Weeks 2 through 7 and cannot afford a slow start.

bird greeting cards, cardinal greeting cards, nature greeting cards, creation greeting cards, animals greeting cards, animal kingdom greeting cards
This is one of three birds.. a cardinal, a bluebird, and a robin that perched just above my head on a branch within 15 minutes of each other. It seemed like they were saying, "We know you're here, Welcome"! This was after I drove across the country by myself pulling our little sailboat to the lake house that I grew up in.
I have loved drawing and painting for as long as I remember. My mom recognized my love for art, so in the summertime, she would pack my lunch and drop me off with my art things and a camp chair in front of something worth painting. The first outing I remember was drawing Dwight D. Eisenhower�s birthplace. With this encouragement, I began my journey in looking for beauty and trying to record it. I love to paint boats, fruit, buildings, and water.
