Malvern, Pa., Jan. 21, 2011 – Today, Siemens Healthcare announced that two executives, Randy Hill and Henri "Rik" Primo, were tapped to assume leadership roles in the Medical Imaging Technology Alliance (MITA). Hill was appointed Chair of the MITA Board. Primo has been re-elected for a sixth term as chairperson of the Medical Imaging Informatics (MII) section. MITA is dedicated to the advancement of medical science, the improvement of patient care, and the contributions that high quality, innovative medical imaging and radiation therapy technologies make toward achieving those goals. Randy Hill is the interim Chief Executive Officer for the U.S. organization of Siemens Healthcare.

Prior to his current role, Hill was Chief Operating Officer for the U.S. healthcare organization where he was responsible for setting and implementing national strategies to sell Siemens products and services, and achieving synchronization across Siemens Healthcare's U.S. Business Management and Solutions Implementation teams. In his 25-year history at Siemens Healthcare, Hill has had the unique perspective of understanding customer needs from both a sales and services perspective, which puts him in a better position to shape MITA's future growth and outreach efforts. "I am extremely excited to take a leadership role that will help to shape the future of this important multivendor association," said Hill. "MITA is influential in ensuring the continued understanding of the importance that imaging and radiation therapy play in the well-being of Americans.

This trend in dressing down in Silicon Valley has a lot to do with Steve Jobs: the original computer nerd genius.
Apple Computer's success was more due to luck than competency.
Apple was Stephen Jobs.
And Stephen Jobs was crazy.
Jobs was bipolar.
And they can be visionary, inspirational and charismatic.
Any other personality would not have have achieved their string of success of great products.
And become the most valued company in America and became the leader of the computer industry, the music industry, the smart phone industry, the gadget industry, and now tablet computing.
Now the most valued company in America and most profitable in the world.
Jobs is Insanely Great.
Both Insane and Great.
The problem with the button-up corporates are they are NOT crazy. They just push elevator buttons until they get to their floor.
Jobs was a vegetarian and lived with Buddhist simplicity--certainly not like a billionaire.
He dressed like an impoverished college student and never had jewelry or bling.
He had priorities focused like a laser.
Jobs had a terminal cancer and a liver transplant...how many CEO's could have run their company in that state, let alone pull off one of the greatest corporate turnarounds in modern business history?
And towards the end spent his last months suffering in service and enduring life. And going to work.
For these new start up pretenders, is a kiddie dress up game, not a sign of mad scientist genius of the generation.
Hoodies and sneakers are simply the new business suit.
You can't engineer craziness.
Don't mix up fashion for genius or competency.
IN "ZERO TO ONE", Peter Thiel's forthcoming guide to startups, he lets aspiring tech magnates in on an effective if unorthodox rule for making smart decisions: don't do business with anyone who dresses in a suit. A slicked-up entrepreneur is inevitably a salesman trying to compensate for an inferior product. Based on this perception, Mr Thiel's venture fund instituted a blanket rule to pass on any company whose principals dressed in formal wear for pitch meetings. The evidence suggests that Thiel's bias worked: the fund was an early investor in companies like Napster, Facebook and Spotify. "Maybe we still would have avoided these bad investments if we had taken the time to evaluate each company's technology in detail," he writes. "But the team insight—never invest in a tech CEO that wears a suit—got us to the truth a lot faster."
In Silicon Valley informality has long been de rigueur. But as the startup bug is spreading to innovation hubs across the world, hoodies, T-shirts and sneakers are the new corporate livery. The shift isn't just a matter of comfort or convenience, but a change in how we conceptualise competence and professionalism. The thinking goes something like this: by stripping away the artificial appearances of showmanship, you can get to the truth about a product, person, or business. It is part of a cultural gravitation toward transparency—and a penchant for disruption in all its forms. People who have the confidence to dress informally and to disrupt traditional business codes, are perceived as more independent, innovative and competent.
Researchers at Harvard Business School call this the "red sneakers effect". In a study published by The Journal of Consumer Research they note that professors dressed less formally at academic events as they gained higher status. Students also perceived unshaven, devil-may-care professors as more knowledgeable than ones in a dress shirt and tie. These mildly rebellious signals are powerful in a culture that has long emphasised conformity as the road to social acceptance. "Instead of showing you can afford to spend money," the authors explain, "you're showing you can afford to spend your social capital… You're saying, I'm so autonomous and successful that I can afford to dress in a non-conforming way."
The way we signal status has also changed. Especially in business, success isn't just about looking wealthy, but about looking different. A lot rides on the perspective of the viewer. Not everyone will look favorably on red sneakers in a professional setting. At a recent business-school symposium at which a professor wore red converse sneakers, executives who also owned a pair of eccentric shoes granted the professor higher professional status than those who didn't.
People who value disruption and unconventionality are more likely to interpret these signals positively. They work where deviations from the norm are lauded, and the interpretation says as much about the viewer as the wearer. But as waves of hoodie-wearing 20-somethings flood companies, sartorial deviation is poised to become the new norm. When everyone wears a T-shirt to lectures and board meetings, how do you tell who is truly innovative and who is just posing?
At the end of the day, the trend toward informality doesn't actually get away from the traditional business emphasis on appearance and presentation. It just replaces one standard with another that is, in its own way, just as obsessed with appearance. Still, insofar as this new bias emphasises—at least for some time—originality, independence, and substance over style, it serves a purpose, as Mr Thiel's anecdote highlights. The irony is that it still has to go through style to get there.

George Washington Carver By: Rebecca Vanecek George W. Carver learned about his mother from his aunt Sue. When he grew up she showed him his mothers old spinning wheel. He didn't know much about his mom so she wanted to show him a little bit about his moms past. When George W. Carver was young he loved animals. Since he loved animals he had a pet frog. His mom/aunt didn't want the frog living inside so he made a little hut for the frog to sleep in by the chimney. George W. Carver also loved plants. He made a secret garden in the woods that no one knew about. After George W. Carver saw his neighbors parlor he was so fascinated he became an artist from that day until the day he died. George W. Carver had to sleep in a barn over the night. In the morning he met a nice lady named Mariah. Soon after her and her foster parents, Aunt Mariah and Uncle Andy. George W. Carver saw a music teacher out his window and started playing his accordion. The music teacher heard him and shook his head no, saying he wasn't good. George W. Carver was the last living person in his family. After he hadn't heard from his brother for over a year, someone had told him he died a year before. When George W. Carver was in his early twenties, he wanted to go to Highland Collage in Kansas. When he went to apply, the principal asked who he was. After he said who he was the principal said African American's were not allowed to attend Highland Collage. Carver was so mad. When George W. Carver was singing in church the choir leader was impressed with George's singing. She invited George over to her house to give him more singing lessons. Since she loved art, in return, from the music lessons, George gave her art lessons.

It's regrettable that, in adapting the original British version of Life on Mars, the producers replaced its understated focus with swagger and overstatement; a fantastical premise is more persuasive if the moment-to-moment story makes sense--regrettably, the narrative logic here owes as much to 1970s cop shows as does the production design. Everyone twinkles to excess, wooing the audience and undercutting any sense of grit. The cast is a charismatic bunch who don't need to spend so much time with rueful smiles and approving looks. The producers knew they'd been canceled in time to resolve the mysteries in the final episode, which diverges significantly from the British version. Also included are a number of cheerful audio commentaries and featurettes, including a tour of the set with '70s icon Lee Majors. --Bret Fetzer
