Mobile Design Pattern: Application Layout
This design pattern is part of the Mobile Design Patterns series.
Each application user-interface (UI) consists of composite elements like banners, buttons, icons, backgrounds, etc. Despite of existence of many attractive and enhanced user interfaces, it is recommended to choose an optimum UI design for the application taking into consideration both – Performance as well as User experience (UX) delivered by the application.
This article focuses on choosing an optimum application layout for mobile applications by giving an example of a non-conventional template layout.
Layout Design
Choosing a layout for the applications involves deciding the type of components to be used. For example, an application could use tabbed view or it could use a horizontal navigation scrollbar (at the bottom), as shown in the figure. However, using either of them involves the user to navigate to other screen by pressing left-right arrow keys.
Further, layout also involves designing placement of various components and maintaining appropriate spacing between them. Considering the desired performance of the application – the types of components should be selected.
Following are two layouts, one of which is heavier than the other (in terms of size).
The heavy layout uses a banner which is more appealing, colorful and attractive (as a result is larger in size, as well). The performance optimized light weight layout on the other hand uses a nearly half sized simpler banner with fewer graphic, as shown below.
Creating a button requires designing skills; however a developer could just make a usable and attractive button, as illustrated below.
The icon and the button text are centred within the basic shape of the button. It becomes important to distinguish between a selected button and a unselected button. The shadow effect, indicating depth in graphics, could be used to indicate focus on the selected button in this case. Game menus using buttons use heavy graphics to make the button more attractive; also employing sound effects while the user changes focus from one button to another.
A background image could be used if the size of the layout is not a big consideration. An attractive background enhances the UX of the end-users. Also, a transparent background could be used where the background of the current theme is used as background for the application.
If the layout includes text, custom fonts could be used. The optimum custom fonts suiting the layout could be thin, light, bold, italic, heavy, etc. depending on the target audience for the application. Slope of the fonts and size could be exploited to give a unique effect.
Animations could include a set of images which keep on shuffling at regular time intervals or as the navigation between the buttons take place. For example, in the above layout the images are changed when a corresponding menu button is selected. Today, animations are used exchangeable with advertisements. Read guidelines about using Mobile advertisements here.

MASTIC BEACH, NY — Assemblyman Fred Thiele (2nd Assembly District) and The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility partnered today to bring a life-saving lesson about the dangers of drunk driving and underage drinking to students in Mastic Beach and Center Moriches. Brandon Silveria and his father Tony spoke to students at William Floyd High School and Center Moriches High School about the importance of "making the right choice" about alcohol – and for students who are under the age of 21, the only responsible decision is not to drink. Brandon is a young man who was involved in an alcohol-related crash at age 17 just before his high school prom. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking.
"The most recent statistics available show that in 2005 there were 524 alcohol-related traffic fatalities in New York, 83 of these deaths were among youth under 21 (NHTSA 2005)," said Assemblyman Thiele. "One death is one too many. We must do more to keep the teens of New York safe and alcohol-free. I am proud to have Brandon and Tony Silveria with us today to communicate their life-saving message."
"In New York, 285 youths under age 18 were arrested for driving under the influence and 1,134 youths were arrested for liquor law violations (UCR 2005)," said Erica Moutlon of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "Our goal with these presentations is to raise awareness about this serious problem, and by doing so, save lives in New York. I'm pleased we were invited to William Floyd High School and Center Moriches High School today and I am hopeful that Brandon and Tony's words will resonate with the students.
During the presentation, Brandon Silveria told students his wrenching story of how as a high school student he had everything a teenager could want—a job, a girlfriend and plans for the future—until he had a few drinks at a party and chose to drive home. After falling asleep at the wheel, crossing the centerline and crashing into a tree, he was left in a coma for three months and spent several years in rehabilitation. Brandon was so badly injured that basic motor functions such as walking, talking and swallowing had to be re-learned. He has permanent brain injury and suffers from dangerous seizures. Brandon's presentations continue to receive standing ovations from students across the country.
"What you become depends on the choices that you make," said Brandon. "When I was seventeen, I had a job and a girlfriend. Because of my crash, I lost both of them. My hope is that by sharing my experiences with other young people, I can prevent others from being hurt or killed."
Through educational efforts such as the Silveria lecture and video program, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility educates students across the country about the hazards of underage drinking and driving. Since Brandon and his father Tony have become spokespeople for The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, they have addressed well over two million high school students nationwide and have been featured on such television programs as "Rescue 911," NBC's "Today," as well as media outlets across the country.
To request a free copy of "Brandon Tells His Story" or for more information on the Silveria program call (800) 431-4499. The 30-minute video, which won an award from the American Medical Association, is accompanied by supporting curriculum materials and can be used with large or small groups of teens.
Brandon and Tony presented at:
Tuesday, October 16th< br/>
*William Floyd High School in Mastic Beach, NY- 9:50 a.m.
*Center Moriches High School in Center Moriches, NY- 12:30 p.m.

ScottHarveyWines wrote:I'm one of the founding members and on the board of the International Riesling Foundation. We are a newly formed world wide group of Riesling producers working togehter to promote Riesling. Our website is not up yet, but will be drinkriesling.com. One of the things we are working on is an international taste scale that we can all use on our labels that lets the customer know what sweetnes level the wine is at. There will be four levels, Dry - Medium Dry - Medium Sweet - Sweet. We are still working out the cut off points between the four levels and they are based on a residual sugar to acid ratio. Hopefully, in the future when you are looking for a dry Riesling or a sweet Riesling the standardized scale will get you to the right wine for the occasion you are purchasing it for. This scale is being spaerheaded by Dan Berger. He has a weekly wine news letter that is my favorite of all the news letters. It is called Dan Berger's Vintage Experiences.
I'm still reading the rest of the pages in this thread...
Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely be watching for the website to go live, and for the labeling on the bottles. I lived in Germany many years ago, and that is where my slippery slope of wine-loving started. I love very dry whites, and enjoy Rieslings, too, and prefer a more traditional flavor. I am disappointed when I take a chance on a wine and find it tastes like pure honey, without any nuances. I would really appreciate having an idea ahead of time of what the sweetness level is.

Alright, I've caved for the first time in awhile. The fall is coming, and it's time to resume my wine.woot addiction.
A fever.
So, using the typical wine.woot obscure clue path -
'fever' = Saturday Night Fever = John Travolta
Googling "John Travolta" + wine gives a link to this quote in the top three hits -
In his work habits, Travolta is strict and disciplined. He drinks fine wine, but does so sparingly, only a few times a month.
The article itself is about his love of cigars
So the offering is clearly going to be a Woot Launch of a line of Travolta cigars!
So, um, do I win?

No way I could pass on these, the husband and I are both cellar club members at V. Sattui and go at least 3 times a year and buy a case or two to tide us over until the next trip.

Personally, I am more a fan of their cabs and the luscious Ramazzotti zin (please oh please offer this one Woot!). For those of you into port, theirs is not to be missed (or the vin santo). In the past, I bought the off-dry reisling for my step mother who prefers the sweeter wines and was pleasantly surprised by it myself. In for one....
It might be because my brain is fried from working, but suddenly, Seymour, it's as plain as day - the next offer is a Venus Fly-Trap plant. I promise to name mine Audrey, too.

Sake is not "rice wine." Sake is sake, made primarily of fermented rice grain, and has more in common with beer than with wine. Sake makers even call themselves "brewers" (when they say it in English anyway).

Report from Vandolay industries:
Well I awake at 7 and waited patiently at the front door for my wine today, to the point of opening it a crack and stationing my furry doorbells (a lab x and a beagle) so that Fed Ex would not get away again. It came 1/2 hour before I was due to leave for work, so it had a quick 30 minutes in the fridge before I opened it (hey, if you can't go to work with wine on your breath...). Now, after work, I'm finishing my second glass, trying to rush to get my lab rat report up before it's too late. I got the dry variey. In a word: a wonderful wine. I caught the aroma of pears and as it warms up, a little peach. Tha aroma carries through to the taste, a rich, soft pear. Extremely smooth but not without a tart finish...almost a "tingle" on my tongue. I'm having it with a mildy spicy crawfish etoufee, which it pairs well with, although I think that anything spicier might overwhelm it. I would agree that it is a good wine to drink on it's own, to get the full benefit. Really, really enjoyable. i know it's late but if you are sitting on the fence I'd go for it. My experience with reislings has been with a sweeter kind in general as that's the only kind my in laws will drink, so I'm not sure that I will share this with them after all. Anyway-thank you woot for the lab rat opportunity and I'm sorry it took an extra day to report!
After hitting the orange button 3 times but not following through I finally just did. GF likes Riesling, isnt that good enough reason? These last 3 weeks have been rough on my pocket book even though none of them are arriving. Time to get on the overtime list again at work.

Happy 80th Birthday, Little Richard!!!
Wednesday, December 5, 2012
Today (December 5th) marks rock n' roll pioneer Little Richard's 80th birthday. Richard rocketed to stardom in the mid-'50s, when his black eyeliner, bouffant hairdo, and flamboyant performances were hard to ignore. With innovative songs like "Tutti Frutti," "Lucille," and "Good Golly Miss Molly," Little Richard, whose real name is Richard Penniman, earned his place in music history, and by 1968 he had sold an astonishing 32 million records worldwide.
Since the beginning of his career, Richard has been nothing if not outspoken about his contribution to music. He refers to himself as the "originator, emancipator, and the architect of rock n' roll," and many musicians and historians agree. The list of musicians who have cited him as an influence includes the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, Prince, Billy Joel, Buddy Holly, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, John Fogerty, and Michael Jackson, among others.
Richard was among the first group of artists inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1986. In 1990, he earned a star on Hollywood's renowned Walk Of Fame, and in 1993 he received a lifetime achievement award from the National Academy Of Recording Arts And Sciences.
Richard's longtime friend Dion says that his vain public persona doesn't cross over into his personal life: "Little Richard, y'know he has an image as a kind of self-centered, self-serving -- (laughs) but, you walk in the room, and he was just taken by who was in the room. It wouldn't be anything about him. Very, like, a selfless kind of thing, y'know?"
Richard, who still continues to perform live, says that the studio doesn't hold much interest for him anymore: "I'm really not interested in recording. I don't sit down thinking about 'When can I record?' I like to work, I like to meet people, I like to talk to people, and I think that to come to see me is to see history alive. I am history alive!"
In May 2002, Richard, Chuck Berry, and Bo Diddley were honored with the first BMI Icon Awards.
Little Richard continues to keep a high profile. He recently played himself in a commercial for Geico car insurance.
In 2006 Richard recorded a duet of the Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There" for Jerry Lee Lewis' Last Man Standing album.

IAS 39 "Carve-Out": How the European Union Hedged Its Exposure to the International Standard on Derivatives and Hedging
Alan D. Jagolinzer, Christopher Armstrong

International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, has attracted considerable controversy throughout its development. Major European financial institutions and political agencies lobbied heavily against the development of certain provisions within the standard. Jacques Chirac, the president of France, suggested that the accounting treatment prescribed in IAS 39 threatens the stability of the European economic structure. Despite its efforts to accommodate constituents' concerns, the International Accounting Standards board refused to fully concede to lobby pressure and implemented a compromise standard in March 2004. As a result, the European Union's Accounting Regulatory Committee voted to recommend that the European Commission only partially adopt IAS 39, effectively "carving-out" two provisions that were the focal point of debate. Explores the history of IAS 39, describes the IAS 39 prescribed accounting treatment for fair value and cash flow hedges, outlines heavily debated issues surrounding macro hedge accounting, and illustrates the impact of politics in the accounting standard setting process. Also explores the implications of the European Commission's "carve-out" on the viability of the International Accounting Standards board and the board's overriding goal of global harmonization of financial reporting standards.
learning objective:
To understand: (1) the influence of politics on the accounting standard setting process; (2) the implications of political influence on the goal of harmonization of accounting standards; and (3) the approved International Accounting Standards 39 treatment for macro hedging of interest rate risk.
subjects covered:
Accounting; Accounting procedures; Derivatives; EC single market; Financial statements; Hedging; International Financial Reporting Standards; International business; Politics

Bacon Addiction, 10 Ways to satisfy the cravings!
Hello, my name is Kevin and I am a bacon addict! I don't eat bacon every day but I think about it several times a day. Normally when I think about it I am thinking about new recipes to it in, purely as an excuse to satisfy my cravings, and I am here to day to share with you a few of my favourites.
Bacon jam is my new hero of the bacon world and it is little wonder why with this Maple Bourbon Bacon Jam with its combination of smoky, salty, bacon-y goodness with sweet maple syrup, tangy cider vinegar and spicy chipotle peppers and lets not forget that shot of bourbon rounding things out!
Salty bacon with cool and creamy avocado is an amazing combination but if you then wrap it all up in plenty of ooey gooey melted cheese like in this Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich, you are in pure heaven!
Bacon is a common addition to burgers and these Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Popper Burgers are a creatively tasty take that will melt your taste buds and leave them craving for more!
Continuing with the bacon and burger combo, you really cant't go wrong serving them up in a hot cheesy dip and this Bacon Double Cheese Burger Dip is sure to please!
Bacon is commonly served for breakfast and this Poached Egg on Toast with Chipotle Mayonnaise, Bacon and Avocado is definitely a great way to start your day!
These Bacon Wrapped Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Poppers combine two already amazing treats, jalapeno poppers and buffalo, chicken to make something even better!
Bacon makes a great base for any soup, like this Ale and Cheddar Soup! Once you have cooked the bacon you can then cook the vegetables in the bacon grease increasing that smoky flavour and then of course the cooked bacon makes a great garnish.
Lets not forget the classic BLT where bacon plays the star, and don't be afraid to kick things up a notch with something like this Avocado BLT with Fried Egg And Chipotle Mayo.
It is hard to go wrong combining bacon and perfectly cooked, juicy and tender beef like in this Double Smoked Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon with Caramelized Mushrooms!
Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies took the food community by storm not too long ago and you either love them or you hate them; that sweet, chocolaty and salty, bacon-y goodness mmm....
For more bacon recipes you can take a look at my Bacon Pinterest Board.

Austrian pianist Till Fellner whose two Bach albums on ECM have won him unanimous international acclaim teams up with conductor Kent Nagano and his Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal for a sensitive and meticulous interpretation of Beethovens much-loved piano concertos Nos. 4 and 5. In a review to be published in the March issue of Fanfare Jerry Dubins speaks of a stunning achievement and points out that the recording has a fullness, depth, and solidity to it that are equal to the very best modern technology has to offer. Fellner and Nagano, musical collaborators for more than a decade, share a delicate and sensitive approach to Beethovens middle period that, by eschewing all demonstrativeness, focusses on natural tempi, transparent sound and maximum clarity of articulation. While Fellner continues his much-lauded cycle of Beethovens 32 piano sonatas on major concert platforms in the US, Europe and Japan, Nagano and his Montreal orchestra have received much attention with their Beethoven project Ideals of the French Revolution. Fellner can also be heard in Thomas Larchers Böse Zellen, to be released in late March.

The road curves gracefully, moving into the scenic highlands above the city. Mothers ride with picnic baskets at their feet, sun hats resting on their laps. Sun falls through the trees that arc above the road, painting the parkway in golden dappled light. As the road moves north magnificent views unfold, revealing the landscape in all its varied splendor.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Tuna, Bigeye – Pole & troll (Maguro) (except U.S. Atlantic)
Bigeye Tuna are a large fish, growing to over 200 kg (440 lbs), and are found throughout the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. They grow reasonably fast, can release millions of eggs each year, and can live to 10 years.
Worldwide, Bigeye Tuna have a medium abundance; however, some populations are healthier than others. Bigeye Tuna are caught using a variety of fishing methods including purse seines and longlines, but pole and trolling methods are more selective and result in little bycatch. Bigeye Tuna are a popular item on the Japanese sashimi market, often sold as Maguro.
Full Seafood Watch species report here.
This fish may have high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in tuna. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

Grepolis Overview
Like Ikariam, Grepolis is a browser based strategy game set in Ancient Greece. Players start with a tiny 'polis' or city and must build it up into a thriving Aegean metropolis. All player controlled cities start near the coast of one of the many islands that populate the world. More inland towns are NPC controlled Farming Villages that can be pillaged by surrounding players. There are three key resources in Grepolis, Wood, Rock, and Silver which are all generated at different buildings. Farms are also required to increase your city's population and warehouses increase the cap of resources players can store. After getting their economies set up, players must train land troops, ships, and even mythological creatures to defend themselves from aggressors in this open PvP environment.

Grepolis Full Review
By, Erhan Altay
Grepolis is the third browser based MMO release by the German studio InnoGames. Like their flagship title, Tribal Wars, Grepolis is a strategy game where players start with a single city and build it into a sprawling empire. The setting this time is not medieval Europe but the cradle of Western civilization, ancient Greece.
The Greek Alphabet
The first Grepolis server went live on January 10th, 2010 and was aptly named 'Alpha.' Being a Greece themed game, Grepolis could get away with the subsequent 'Beta' and "Gamma' server names that followed. New players who create an account will have access to all available servers, so no server-specific accounts like in Gladiatus and other browser games. Like so many other sites, Greplois offers Facebook Connectivity. Those of you with Facebook accounts won't have to go through the hassle of registered for a whole new service
Let Ulysses be Your Guide!
A server's name isn't the only thing that distinguishes it from the others. Players should pay careful attention to the description of each one before making a selection. Some servers, such as Gamma, actually have a faster game speed. I highly recommend players select the fastest server since strategy games like this are always slow paced. Even with a fast server selected, expect slow gameplay that requires plenty of down time. After server selection, players are taken to their first city and green by Ulysses who acts as the game's tutorial guide. He explains that the Senate building serves as the center of a city and that it is important to start generating resources by constructing a timber camp and quarry. This is done by selecting the Senate and clicking 'build' on the appropriate area of the building tree. Up to two build orders can be queued at a time, though only one will build at a time.
Golden Shortcuts
Grepolis is quick to explain the benefits of wealth. The tutorial guide mentions that gold, the premium currency, can be used to cut construction times in half. While this may seem abusive to those unfamiliar with the strategy genre, it's actually quite reasonable. Most Asian strategy games like Evony, Lords Online, Empire Craft, War of Legends, and a host of other interchangeable MMOs allow instant-construct for those willing to open up their wallets. Besides wood and rock, silver coins make up the other primary resource in Grepolis. Wood is mainly used to construct buildings and ships, rock is used to upgrade city walls and temples, and silver coins are the in-game currency used for most everything. New player will have to upgrade their warehouse so it can hold more resources filling up. Finally, farms must be upgraded to produce more 'free citizens' which are required to construct buildings, and train soldiers.
Island Neighbors
After familiarizing themselves with the city overview, players move on to the next 'layer' which is the island overview. The world of Grepolis is not a single massive continent, but instead composed of hundreds of islands with each supporting around twenty players. Grepolis shares this feature, along with the whole Greek theme with another browser based strategy game that goes by the name Ikariam. But while that game had a more cartoon feel to it, Grepolis is much more 'realistic.' Player controlled cities are always located near the coast while computer controlled 'farming villages' are located inland. Players looking to expand their empire can found additional cities on smaller isles located near their starting area. What really sets Grepolis apart from most other games in the genre are the interaction between players and the AI controlled inland towns.
Farmers Pay Tribute
Players can send troops to these towns to raid them for resources. But they are not just static resource pinatas, their 'mood' must be monitored carefully. Raid too often and villagers may defend themselves. Additionally, the 'strength' of these villages can actually be increased by any player on the island. This dynamic forces players to cooperate. If one player goes about raiding AI villages without contributing to their strength, he or she may well incur the wraith of the other players on the island. This system forces neighbors to cooperate for their mutual self interest, even if they stay unaligned militarily. These computer controlled towns also serve as trading posts where players can exchange resources. The exchange rate is usually not in the player's favor but the convenience factor can still make it worthwhile.
Clean and Simple
While Grepolis was launched in 2010, in many ways it feels like an older game. Compared to other recent browser releases, the animations and interface look dated. Grepolis makes up for this with a straight forward interface and gameplay. There are no quests to complete, no monsters to hunt, or heroes to equip and manage. There are a total of 22 buildings including the starting Senate structure and resource generators. Military units are broken into three major categorizes; land units, ships, and mythological units (maybe I lied about a lack of monsters to hunt.) Each category has seven or eight unit types for a total of 23. It will still take players a while to wrap their minds around everything, but the learning curve is definitely shorter than in a game like Heroes of Gaia which has much more to manage.
Clever Research
One feature that Grepolis does make a little more complicated (and interesting) is research. Research is conducted at the academy. As player upgrade the level of their academy, they will be rewarded with research points. Various new technologies become available at the academy as it is increased in level, each requiring different amounts of research points to purchase. The maximum number of research points a city can have is 172 (160 from the Academy, 12 from a Library), this means players can't research everything in any given city. Decisions will have to be made. Player will have to specialize some cities towards war ship production while others can be geared towards land units. Additional specialization choices have to be made when selecting which God a city will worship at its temple. There are four patron Gods in Grepolis; Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, and Athena. Each has a number of 'Divine Powers' and allows the training of two of the eight mythological units. A player with multiple cities can assign a different God to each and have access to all powers and units, however.
Wars of the Ancients
Games like Grepolis are built around player interaction, particularly of the PvP kind. Newbies are given a 7 day grace period during which they are immune from attack. This time is best used to shore up city defenses and make allies with island mates. Eventually, players will have to create or found more powerful Alliances. Hours after starting, I received a letter from a neighbor extending a hand of friendship, so there is an active community.
Top Talent
War in Grepolis is not cheap, and many dedicated players will find it tempting to make use of the game's premium features. The premium currency, gold, can be purchased in five different amounts. On the low end, $2.99 will purchase 120 gold while $80.99 will net 8000 gold coins. There are usually promotions which grant bonus gold, so keep an eye open for those. So what exactly can players do with this gold? Besides shave half the construction time off their buildings there are give premium NPCs that can be hired. Each costs 100 gold per 14 days and grants different bonuses. The Administrator gives additional queue slots and prepares overviews, the Merchant increases resource production by 30%, the high Priestess increases favor production by 50% and increases the strength of mythical units by 20%, the Commander increases land unit strength by 20%, and the Captain increases naval unit strength by 20%. These are not small advantages, and it will cost $80-120 a year just to keep them active around the clock. Fortunately, they are optional and the game can be enjoyed even on an active level without them. As unbalanced as they may seem, at least there is a limit to how large an advantage money can buy.
Final Verdict: Good
Grepolis is a strategy game with simple gameplay elements. It groups players onto small islands with access to shared resources, and provides the platform for player cooperation and conflict. The graphics and animations are sleek but weaker than those on offer by competitors. With no quests to complete or heroes to level up, Grepolis is a much more 'pure' strategy game. If that's what you're after, Grepolis makes a fine choice.

In 1623 Callot was appointed artist at the court of Lorraine under the patronage of Duke Henri II. This series of prints shows aspects of soldiers' lives from the time they enlist until they receive rewards from their commanders. It is based on events of the Thirty Years War (1618-48), a series of conflicts fought principally on the territory of today's Germany, and broadly defined by the struggle between France and the Habsburgs for dominance in Europe. Callot's etching style, characterized by elegant swelling lines, is not unlike that of engraving.

The Individual's Guide to the Shifting Landscape: Charting Your Career Path Within the Corporate Lattice Structure

$ 6.93
The traditional corporate ladder is giving way to a new kind of organizational structure-the corporate lattice-in which success is no longer defined as a linear climb to the top, and rigid definitions of what work is, how it should be accomplished, and who gets to participate are being transformed. In this chapter, the authors explore the changing role each individual plays in directing his or her own lattice journey. Individuals need to treat their skills, experiences, and capabilities as valuable assets and navigate the lattice world by following three personal asset-building strategies: 1) Think option value: Actively seek out opportunities that open up multiple career paths; 2) Market your individual assets: Periodically inventory your skills and experiences and assess their relevance to the market; and 3) Optimize career-life fit: Continuously seek an effective and efficient tradeoff between your career and life goals at any point in time, recognizing that this is an ever-changing equation. Woven together, these three strategies ensure that you'll experience a high level of engagement-and satisfaction-no matter where you are in your career. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 7 of "The Corporate Lattice: Achieving High Performance in the Changing World of Work."
subjects covered:
Career planning; Organizational structure; Setting goals; Success; Work life balance

Great to know. I was afraid this year would be his last.
That deserves a BINGO! Great to know that he will be back man.
Great news! I hope he continues for many many more years like Vin Scully.
YESSSSSSS! This makes me so happy.
The greatest Clipper ever will get to see us get back-to-back Championships. I love it.
Ralph needs a better publicist.
News like this should be held until if or when the Clips get knocked out... to give the fans hope for next year.
Still... great news.
Or he could've held a press conference tomorrow and invited every member of the Fox Sports family and personally thanked them all in a heart felt speech?
We'd be guaranteed to win Game 3.
God damnit Ralph!
If I hear the words "Heartfelt speech" any more, I'm going to

(CNN) -- On Wednesday's "American Idol," we finally got to see the fight that launched reports of a tense feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey.
Actually, make that part of the fight.
As you'll recall, footage leaked last fall of Minaj and Carey in an argument while at an "Idol" audition stop in Charlotte, North Carolina. That clip appeared to show Minaj erupting at Carey, telling those off-camera, "I told them I'm not f****n' putting up with your f****n' highness over there."
Carey later alleged that Minaj made threats off-camera, causing "Idol" to feel like an "unsafe work environment" for the singer and prompting her to hire extra security.
But we didn't see any of that on Wednesday's show.
Instead, we saw a fairly tame but dramatic disagreement between Minaj, Carey and Randy Jackson, who threw in a few comments that aided in Minaj's eventual walking off the set. (Keith Urban, as what seems to be tradition now, was stuck in the middle.)
The spat was sparked by the performance of one Summer Cunningham, a 20-year-old student from Georgia who performed "Lean on Me."
She gave a pretty solid show, although one of the country variety. Before the judges voted her through to Hollywood week, there was a thorough discussion of Summer's sound that Minaj didn't appreciate.
"Why are we like, picking her apart because of a country comment?" the rapper/singer said before clarifying that she was specifically talking about Carey and Jackson.
It just devolved from there, with Carey and Jackson saying they were only trying to help and Minaj defending poor Summer, who was frozen to her spot with a confused smile on her face. When Summer finally made her exit, Minaj wasn't far behind her.
"Maybe I should just get off the f*****g panel," Minaj retorted when Jackson said he had 30 years of insight to share with the contestants. "Finish the show. I'm done!"
Cue Carey: "That was my move - I was going to do that the next time she ragged on me."

Pictures do not do the cabin justice.
We had a wonderful time! It was eagle heaven. We saw 8 eagles at one time at one point. The house has so many nice amenities that when checking a website don't seem like a big deal until you get there and find that all those little things really make for a wonderful stay (i.e. inner tubes, hammock, karoake machine, etc.)! The only drawback was that over time the low lying lake shore trees that are in the pictures have grown and really reduced the scope of view from the deck. We had our 87 year old grandmother up there with us, and it was difficult for her to move down to the end of the deck to be able to see the people in the lake swimming, kayaking, paddle boating, and inner tubing. Other than that, what a wonderful space!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Nobody said being an IT Professional was easy. And now with the increased use of mobile devices, a proliferation of apps, and users' expectations to access company data from virtually anywhere, there's more than ever to deal with. IT needs a reliable, complete and efficient solution that takes a people-centric approach to the management of users, their devices and the protection of corporate data. Microsoft has solutions to help organizations harness the power of enterprise mobility, without unnecessary risk or complexity.
We help businesses:
How can IT provide a consistent and personalized experience for users across a wide range of devices?
How does IT help to keep corporate information protected?
How are these two requirements achieved without adding unrealistic cost and complexity to the business?
Microsoft has solutions to enable enterprise mobility:
With hybrid identity, Microsoft is combining its rich history in identity management from Windows Server Active Directory and Forefront Identity Manager to include cloud-based identity and access management solutions on Azure Active Directory, which drives greater efficiency and unifies the management environment.
Users do not like having to enter multiple login credentials to access the files and data they need to get work done. Beyond user annoyance, the need for multiple authentications can lead to the unsafe practice of post-it notes with a not-so-encrypted list of all the required login IDs and their associated passwords.
Hybrid identity management keeps users productive by providing them with a single sign-on for all their corporate resources. This means that when they can use one set of login credentials to access their company's line-of-business apps, Microsoft cloud applications, and third-party SaaS apps.
Fewer passwords, means less risk of users losing or forgetting passwords – or creating lists for the world to see. And even if users do forget, they can securely reset passwords themselves, meaning one less task for the IT helpdesk. Happy users. Happy IT.
Hybrid identity provides a rich set of management tools that let IT track usage patterns and identify anomalies. "Did Joe just try to login via his PC in the office in New York while simultaneously trying to access a sensitive file from his tablet in Geneva?" By treating Joe as a single user, versus having a PC version of Joe and a tablet version of Joe, IT is able to better protect corporate data and assets.
Users want to use the devices they love, whether it's the device with the best camera, the device with the largest screen, the biggest this or the thinnest that. But to be really useful, the device needs access to apps and data – wherever the device and its user happen to be. Mobile device management, provides IT with a solution that helps keep users and their devices well managed whether in the office, at home or roaming the world.
Users need access to apps on their devices. IT can use unified device management to create a company portal with applications targeted to users and their devices. Users can then visit the company portal to self-install approved apps, reducing the burden on IT.
Users sometime lose or misplace their devices. They can use the company portal to selectively wipe corporate data from devices that are missing, ensuring sensitive information doesn't end up in the wrong hands.
And mobile device management integrates the management of PCs and mobile devices into a single console, making common tasks such as applying security updates or inventory management a far more efficient task for IT.
It is likely that most business users have two or more devices to do their work. A user may be working on a document in the office on their PC and later that day need to access the same document from a client's network via a tablet.
It's also possible that IT may not want to make every corporate asset available to every user on any device. Access and information protection enables users to enroll their device using Workplace Join, making it possible to access corporate data from a personally owned device. The solution also allows users to sync data to work folders which then makes files available to any device. Happy, efficient user.
IT can protect sensitive information using Microsoft Rights Management, and can apply intelligent policies that may allow a user to access a sensitive file on a PC while on the corporate network, but would restrict access to that file by the same user from a personal smartphone. Happy, safe IT.
For certain scenarios, storing data on a user's device may not be ideal or practical. Desktop virtualization provides a secure solution for end users and IT, where data and applications are centralized in the datacenter so the risk from lost and stolen devices is reduced.
Desktop virtualization provides a rich user experience across devices and simplifies management with a single console – all at a great value. People can be productive using a familiar interface to the applications they know and love while IT maintains data compliance.
The Microsoft solution gives IT the freedom to choose between personal or pooled virtual desktops as well as session-based desktops and applications so IT can customize the implementation to meet its organization's needs.
Toyota Motor Europe (TME) had no tools to manage 3,500 car-diagnostic PCs running outside the corporate domain at 3,000 dealerships. TME chose Microsoft Intune to manage the PCs remotely from a web-based console. It can standardize software deployments to ensure consistent customer service and enhance the security of managed computers to reduce downtime at dealerships. Remote assistance capabilities will also help reduce on-site support costs.
