Finny's Round One Targets
1. NT Dontari Poe, Memphis, (22nd), 6'4", 346#, 4.98, 44 reps, 83.25 KEI.
Most draft gurus are scrambling to send Poe up to the top 15 or even top 10 of their draft boards, where Poe could well be taken based on an amazing combine performance. And there may be some team willing to bet on his upside higher than where the Steelers draft, but Poe started 30 games against weak LOC and didn't necessarily dominate so much as flash potential. In other words, he's the boom-or-bust kind of guy the Steelers don't usually go for. But he is only 22, he puts in the time lifting, and other teams isolated him on the line because there wasn't a lot of talent around him. His upside as a NT is much higher than any other NT's in years, and NT anchors the Steelers 3-4. I'd be willing to pull the trigger, but only if he fell to us.
2. SS Mark Barron, Alabama, (31st), 6'1", 213#.
Speaking of falling to us. Mark Barron is the top-rated safety, a big, heads-up player who can man either safety spot, and comes from a Bama defense that's full of future pros. Steelers could stand to groom a future starter, and meanwhile need a guy who is capable of filling in when Troy is dinged or the team goes to Denver. Like Heath Miller before him, Barron is falling because he's recovering from surgery due to a hernia. He's got top-15 talent, but could slide since he's not working out in Indy and may not be ready to do much at his pro day. If he fell to 1.24, it would be a gift to the Steelers.
3. ILB Don't'a Hightower, Alabama, (29th), 6'2", 265#, 4.68.
There's a lot to like about Hightower, and right now I'd say he's the most likely pick at 1.24, but I do have a few minor reservations. On the plus side, he's got thumper size – about 45# more on his frame than Farrior and Foote carry – and that would be a nice way to greet running backs trying to get yards up the middle. He's also got the smarts to set the defense, something I'm not convinced Timmons will ever do. Hightower's a leader. He can also line up outside occasionally, and LeBeau has to like that versatility. On the downside, he still seems to be holding back somewhat since a torn ACL in 2009. Some of his tape seemed to show a guy leaving plays on the field. I'm confident LeBeau can coax the potential out of this guy, seems like a great fit beside Timmons.
4. OG/RT Cordy Glenn, Georgia, (23rd), 6'5", 345#, 5.15, 31 reps, 62 KEI
Some folks are down on Glenn for reasons I'm not seeing right now. He had 4 starts at LT in 2009, but obviously appears better suited inside. And in fact, at his size a 5.15 40 is pretty damned impressive, and he's got the strength and arm length (35 ¾") to be extremely effective inside or even at RT. I think he's a plug-and-play pro year one.
5. OG Kevin Zeitler, Wisconsin, (41st), 6'4", 314#, 5.39, 32 reps, 69.5 KEI
A highly touted guard out of the Wisconsin program, Zeitler has plenty of good film. A little smaller than Glenn, and not as fast. Had some struggles against DE Kendall Reyes at the Senior Bowl, but appears to be a solid starter in the league.
6. OG/RT Kelechi Osemele, Iowa St., (38th), 6'6", 336#, 5.36, 32 reps, 67 KEI
Another big-bodied OG/RT type, but bigger than the slow-assed rhinos on our roster, and somewhat faster, too. Long (35 7/8") arms, good strength and explosiveness, questions about LOC and football smarts push him down somewhat, but could dominate inside if he can get his head around the pro game.
7. C/OG Peter Konz, Wisconsin St., (28th), 6'5", 314#, 18 reps.
Liked Konz before the combine, as the top-rated center. Imagine having an improved backup to Pouncey and a guy who could man an OG spot, sort of a Legursky-plus. But seriously, 18 reps? No run? Again, Wisconsin turns out good offensive linemen and Konz has plenty of good tape, but dropping him on my first round board off a very weak showing.
8. TE Orson Charles, Georgia, (58th), 6'2", 251#, 35 reps.
The wild card. Hear me out, bishes. Between Charles, Coby Fleener, and Dwayne Allen, there's no top consensus TE, although Mayock's had Charles on top of his TE ratings. He's more Aaron Hernandez than Rob Gronkowski, but I think he could be an amazing fit in Haley's offense. First of all, consider him less of a TE than a tough, nice-sized slot receiver not afraid to go over the middle, move the chains, and take the tough hit. Does that sound like any other receiver from Georgia we may be aware of? Ben misses that possession guy with Ward's role diminished, but Charles is also a strong, tough blocker who could pave the way with the running game or stand in against the pass rush. So he's sort of like a poor man's Ward, plus a fullback, plus an extra lineman. When I put it like that it doesn't sound so crazy. Went from late R1 to late R2 because he didn't run at Indy.
9. CB Stephon Gilmore, South Carolina, (39th), 6'0", 190#, 4.40, 36" VJ.
Steelers have a bunch of young talent bubbling up at corner, but that's not to say they couldn't look at someone late R1 anyway. Ike won't last forever, and no one's claimed the other starting spot with authority. Gilmore has the size and speed to be a starter, and has been consistently productive since his freshman year, starting all games as a freshman. In 2011 he was first-team SEC, and finished with eight career INTs over three seasons. Plays off-man similar to LeBeau's system and is big in run support. Hard worker who puts in time in the film room. Dark horse pick but one I'm sure LeBeau has his eye on.
10. OT Mike Adams, Ohio St., (33rd), 6'7", 323#, 5.40, 19 reps, 56 KEI
Solid LT at the collegiate level and may have the potential to be a LT in the pros, which is why he was on my top ten list. But his lazy ass is about to fall right off this list. I'm not so much concerned that he was in the Buckeyes' little tattoo scandal so much as I'm concerned about a big guy like this putting up 19 reps and a supposed LT running a sluggish 5.40. That to me says that, despite some decent Big 10 film, Adams is essentially a lazy turd flirting with DND. I'll give him one more look, since we always need a true LT, but at best he seems like an under-achieving future RT only.
Usually I'm right on par with a lot of your draft prospects, but man are we far apart this year.
2. Mark Barron: I'm not high on Barron and disagree with your assessment of him. Barron is a true SS and lacks the agility to play the FS spot at the NFL level. He was never asked to cover a slot WR, and spent more time in the box and playing 2 deep coverage. If we needed a in the box SS, I'd look at taking him...but we don't. Harrison Smith (Notre Dame - SS) - Smith started as a true freshman at the LB and SS position up until his Junior season when he played the SS spot full time. Recorded 91 tackles and 7 INT's. Production dropped off his senior season (no INT's) but has the instincts and ability to become a in the box SS. 6'2, 215, 4.5 - 40, 19 reps of 225. Enjoys big hits and isn't afraid of contact. The only player in Irish football history to register more than 200 tackles, 15 tackles for loss and 15 pass breakups in a career ... leads or tied for lead among active Irish players in just about every defensive category, including games (38, tied), games started (34), total tackles (214), solo tackles (134), pass breakups (18), passes defended (25) and interceptions (seven) ... his 15.5 tackles for loss are third most on team ... has recorded three and a half career sacks and forced one fumble. High motor guy, would take in the 3rd or 4th round and shore up the SS position for a back up. I just see more value in a guy like Smith in the later rounds. George Illoka (Boise St - FS): Could be another option (in the later rounds) and had a very impressive combine, though he has struggled his senior season. 6'3, 225 pounds, 4.6 - 40 and 20 reps of 225. He has played each year and will be a low end prospect as he got torched in Boise States Bowl Game this year. He's more of a SS to me...tackles well, ok hands, isn't afraid of big hits or playing in the box. I see more value in these 2 over Barron, though I might be crazy
3. Hightower: I'm a bit torn on Hightower. He's the typical ILB prospect for a 3-4 defense, but I have some injury concerns about him. With Farrior gone, I'd either trade up for Kuechly or drop back and grab Hightower in the early 2nd round. The plus side with Hightower is (like you stated) a leader, captain and signal caller of the Defense, solid run stuffer, plays pass coverage very effective for a big guy, showed improvement on blitzing and could be a great addition to our LB corps.
4. Cordy Glenn: Man, I can't think of a more hyped interior O-lineman than this guy. He was abused against solid teams (especially Boise State), looked horrible at the Senior Bowl and consistently plays lazy, gets beat off the line and can't beat a swim move. I have no idea why this guy is the #2 interior o-lineman prospect on most boards and I'd take numerous other prospects ahead of Glenn.
10. Mike Adams: Another blow up OT who shows me nothing. I'd take James Brown (Troy) before I'd select Mike Adams. Another OT with speed rusher issues, inconsistent play and a scrub at the Senior Bowl. Mike Adams is no LT, maybe OG or RT...but even then I'd take numerous other o-line prospects over Adams.
Hightower would be my selection right now. But I see a lot of value in later rounds. Here are a few under the radar prospects I have an eye on.
1. Loni Fangapou (BYU) - This kid has the size and strength to play the position. 6'4, 328 pounds, huge hands, decent 40 time (5.1 - 40), 36 reps of 225. He went on a missions trip for 2 years, came back to the US at a community college in CA, completely destroyed o-lineman, went to USC, broke his ankle, transferred to BYU and had a solid senior season. He's a bit older, so he would be a solid steal in the 5th/6th round selection. He's a huge body, with extreme strength and could either play some this year or sit and learn the position for a year. There are sleepers all over this draft class, especially at the O-line, TE, NT, LB and secondary.
2. LB: Ronnell Lewis (Oklahoma) - He comes in at 6'1, 255 and runs a 4.6 - 40 and put up 36 reps of 225. This 3-4 OLB is the type we need to draft, ad not take the best player rated on Mel Kiper's draft board. This kid is explosive, but extremely raw and will need some time to adapt.
3. Markus Kuhn (NC State) - Another monster who plays extremely hard and blew me away at the combine. No talk about him and not sure why. At 6'4, 308 pounds the guy ran a 4.8 - 40, 28 reps of 225 and showed fluid hips and agility for a bigger guy. He reminds me a lot of Brett Keisel, but finds a way to get into the backfield. Some project him as a 3-4 OLB (which I could see) but I expect him to fall into the UDRFA pool or I would take him in the 7th round. Keep an eye on him as another late round sleeper. I look for Green Bay to snag him.
4. Alameda TaA'mu (Washington) NT - A strong road grader with limited mobility. 5.3 - 40, but 35 reps or 225 (one less that Lewis, who's 255...pretty amazing). Not ready to take him in the 2nd yet, but I'm going to look over some of his film as he gets better as the season goes on and really plays against higher competition (Texas, USC, etc) Worth a look into.
5. Mike Martin (Michigan - DT) - Not a huge guy at 308 pounds, but looks like a dominant 3-4 DE. Runs a 4.8 - 40, 36 reps of 225. He has little hands for a big guy, but is extremely powerful and with some weight gain, could turn into a 304 NT. Big Snack had the same weight coming out of Texas, so he wouldn't be an immediate NT as he would be a 3-4 DE, but could provide a backup role as a 3-4 DE and a NT right now. I'd like him in the later rounds, but some team like the Giants will take him as a 4-3 DT in the 2nd.
6. Trumane Johnson (Montana - FS/nickel CB): I have liked Johnson from day 1 and the combine really showed his athletic ability. He's 6'2, 205 pounds, 4.6 - 40, 19 reps of 225 but had a real bad 3 cone drill time. He could turn into either a solid press CB (while working on his speed, hips, etc) or become a solid FS. He has extremely rare hands, tackles well and I'd like to see him at the FS position. Could be a 3rd/4th round selection and a starter to mold behind R. Clark.
7. Nate Potter (Boise State - OT)
8. David Molk (Michigan - OC/OG) - The most underrated interior lineman in this years draft class. Molk is very strong, athletic, gets to the 2nd level, 4 year starter and would be a steal in the 4th/5th round.
9. Doug Martin (Boise St - HB) impressed me big time. He has power, speed and makes solid cuts. He's 5 '9, 223 pounds, ran a 4.5 - 40, 28 reps of 225 (tied for best out of the HB's) and had a 6.79 3 shuttle cone (best out of the HB's). late 2nd or 3rd round steal, no question about it. He has a career high of over 5 yards per carry, a complete over all HB (speed, power, hands, pass blocking, etc), also used as a punt and kick off returner.
Drake Dunsmore (Northwestern - TE) 6'2, 242 and ran a 4.6 - 40 with a solid 21 reps of 225. I really, really like this kid and will be a late round sleeper. But, James Hanna (Oklahoma - TE) really impressed me at the combine. Ran a 4.4 - 40 and him and Dunsmore had the best numbers overall. Both guys are late round sleepers and would draft them both or take one in the 6th and grab the other in UDRFA pool.
Chris Polk (Washington - HB)
Robert Turbin (Utah St - HB)
Terrance Ganaway (Baylor - HB)
Nick Foles (Arizona - QB)
Matt Reynolds (BYU - OG/RT)
Chase Minnifield (Virginia - CB)
Josh Norman (Coastal Carolina - CB) Shrine Bowl, turned some heads.
Audie Cole (NC St - ILB)
Caleb McSurdy (Montana - ILB)

WRT Barron, I think his permanent position is SS, but I think he's an Adrian Wilson type guy who can set the DBs, range all over, and hit hard. At the very least, when Clark can't go to Denver or if we need a short term FS, I'd rather have Barron than Mundy. I'd also be interested in seeing how he'd do in some dime packages until he was fully up to speed. The concern is that, while Clark is 32 and Pola 30, Pola's got more wear, especially considering all the concussions. Furthermore, when Pola's out of the lineup for any time, the dropoff is huge.
I'm also torn on Hightower. The injuries concern me too. What I like about him, I like a lot, but those flags are worth noting. My top 10 will likely winnow to ~5, and ranking will fluctuate as I look at this some more. ILB is scarily thin this year, so it's get early or get not at all.
I'll give you the Boise St. game argument against Glenn, but he was starting at LT, and a LT he is not. I'm not even sold on him as a RT to be frank, but I think he could be OK there with some coaching. Glenn improved over the season and inside I think he could be a beast, sort of like Kemo if Kemo could have moved his ass faster and if he wasn't dumb as bricks.
Yeah, Adams is a turd. I wanted a token LT on the list, but in all likelihood we're sorting through value rounders for a developmental type IF the FO even does that. They may think Gilbert's the solution at LT; I beg to differ. Adams, in any event, ain't the solution to this particular differential equation.

BTW, like ND's Harrison a lot, he's def on my radar, R2. Fangapou is a guy I'm really, really interested in too; Mike Martin a bit less so, but he's also someone you have to check out. Ronnell Lewis is like, what, a 74 KEI? Yeah, there's something there. Have to check out Kuhn a bit more.
Ta'amu is a real question mark for me. Generally solidly graded, guys like Wexell and Wes Bunting (top 15?) love him, NFLDS has him as a R3. Meets the frame and lifts minimum requirements, but I still look past him to guys like Chapman and Fangapou. As big as he is, he just doesn't look like a proto 3-4 nose. Maybe it's how he carries his weight over that longer frame. I watched him against Utah and he just consistently got washed out. Didn't see anything there even against single team. Watch Chapman, and he not only clogs the middle better (playing through injury), but he got after the LSU quarterback like a hog rooting for apples. Fangapou is also a solid character guy, FWIW.
Potter, Molk, Martin and some of the others also spark my interest. A lot of interesting R2 RBs this year.

McShay's updated draft has the Steelers taking Hightower (Poe off the board):
Offensive line and cornerback are bigger needs, but there are no players at those positions worth this pick, and the Steelers are not a team that reaches for need. Hightower carries a fringe first-round grade, but he eased durability concerns in 2011, and there are few 263-pounders who run like he does. Hightower is a perfect fit in Pittsburgh's 3-4 scheme with his ability to control the interior.
Kipe-hair, too:
As part of their purge to get in good standing with the salary cap, the Steelers had to cut veteran James Farrior. While they have some young talent at linebacker, given the way their system works, I think they'll want to find Dick LeBeau another player that can help early. Hightower was an exceptional young player for Bama before he lost a year with an ACL injury, but he recovered this year and might have plenty of growth left. The Steelers have new needs, and Hightower fills one.

I wouldn't be gutted with Hightower, though I'm still pushing for Barron.

Just as I get done wiping my ass with Mike Adams's draft profile, Steelers send out their usual Hugh Jass contingent to OSU's pro day. Tomlin, Haley, ****, Colbert, assorted others. Personally, not really thrilled with any of this year's crop of Buckeyes. Adams was inconsistent, had character flags, and is now pretty much DND. Lifted the bar 19 times at Indy. Lifted 21 times at his pro day. Shameful. Lazy fucktard.
Oh, but read some report that he was the "apple of the Steelers' eye" in evals. Fucking hope this is a smokescreen.
The more I dig, the less I like the R1 prospects. Will completely revamp this list and add players from positions of no need because the ones in need spots are too... spotty.

Within the last year or two Ray Ban started using a different type of Zyl (plastic) for the actual frame of the Wayfarer. This new material is MUCH lighter to combat the weight of the glass lenses for a more comfortable wear. I think this is the reason why your older pair were much heavier, they were made with the older frame material. Hope this helps!

It is common sense that the edges of the frames must be taken in consideration however most manufacturers do not supply that. To measure the top doesn't help either. So we are left to offer the customer a lens and bridge width measurement combination. And my reader didn't ask about the B measurement (vertical) but I would've been happy to supply that. Again, to all my readers these are helpful guides not to be used in replacement of trying frames on.Thanks again.

County needs to target the younger generations
This is my first My Turn. Just like two months ago, it was my first time ever writing a newspaper article. This is the first November in more than 16 years I haven't been in school, and for the first time last week I went to a dentist who didn't also know the inside of every one of my family member's mouths.
Because of all these firsts I feel it is needless to say I am young. I am not ashamed to say I am young, nor am I ashamed that this is my first time doing a lot of things.
I am very proud of my age and of my new accomplishments in life, but I think what's even more exciting is that I'm having these new experiences in Plumas County.
I am not from here. I was raised in Sonora and moved up here in 2008 to study equine studies at Feather River College. Being five hours away from home in a foreign place encompassed by sometimes-impassable mountains was daunting for an 18-year-old girl, but I learned to adapt.
During the summer I was hired at Graeagle Stables, in what I saw as the smallest town ever. However, after experiencing all the beauty and freedom the area had to offer, it was not hard to make the place home.
I often hear people saying the main issue in the county is the declining population. Though I can understand the concern, it's discouraging for people like me who are actually responding to the county's attempts to lure people in.
I am a Plumas County recruitment poster child. I have been around for almost four years. I left here when I graduated FRC to finish my education, but I always came back when I was out of school.
Just a couple months ago, I exchanged my home base for the mountains, the trees, the horses and the people of Plumas County.
I am not the only one either. My best friend from Santa Rosa, who also went to FRC and worked in Graeagle, is up here with me. She and I congregate with the other young people who have made this area their home too. We are all like some underground society nobody really knows about.
I know it is discouraging to see people leaving, but take heart in those the community is bringing in. We are young, we are energetic, and we know that coming up here and forsaking the comfort that is in a big city means we are really going to try to make it work.
This community is an hour and a half away in each direction from two major colleges and we have one really great one right at our doorstep, so there is a constant flow of young people coming into the county. There should be a big red target painted on all these young people coming in.
I know young people can be indecisive, so the community wants families with 2.5 kids for commitment assurance. However, I believe if the younger generation is convinced there is something worthwhile up here for them they'll stay, and in staying they'll probably start their own families. What's even better is that something doesn't have to be a great paying job.
For me all I needed was what was already here like recreational activities, beauty and a certain sense of independence. I figured out the job stuff after I decided to stay, as most of us did.
Trying to create jobs with enough income for families to support themselves is going to be a tough task for this area. Yet creating jobs for young single people to support themselves is doable, and using the county's natural assets to bring them in is more than achievable.
Younger people have the passion to forgive the county for the shortcomings that are only a consequence of hard times, and bring in an energy and life that is much-needed.
I think this is a truth that should not be overlooked, and it doesn't make any sense to me that we are letting the young people funnel into the county, and then shoot out once they have a diploma.
This could be a vital new approach to the population problem. Focusing on young first-timers is risky, but I think underestimating the youth coming in is even more detrimental.

A Stefanie is usually small, or petit if you will. They are fun to hang around with but can sometimes get on your nerves. They are boy crazy and love to party. They are attractive and always get what they want and won't stop until they get it.
In some countries a Stefanie is a prostitute.

On UX Leadership
Designers and other UX types are self-reflective sorts. We spend lots of time—perhaps too much time—talking about what design is, how we do it, and what tools we use. However, it seems to me that a critical topic is missing from most of these conversations: UX leadership. If we are to ensure the longevity of individual careers and our profession as a whole, I believe this needs to become a focus in our industry. I'll explain why.
Even if we can't always agree on what the heck they are, UX professionals have come a long way in the last decade. More companies are paying attention than ever before. Any team of skilled, experienced designers probably has the tools to solve most design problems. However, we still have a couple of big challenges.
Ask almost any designer what gets in the way of success, and you'll hear them beating their heads against one or both of the same brick walls: getting the time and resources to do their jobs, then getting the organization to follow through. We're doing our part by solving the design problems, but we can't seem to gain enough traction.
The other big issue is, in some ways, a nice one to have: demand for designers is outpacing supply. If we're to keep up the momentum, we not only need to educate the next generation of UX professionals, we need to make more designers any way we can.
Design skills are inadequate to address either of these challenges. If you look at organizations that are making progress in either area, I guarantee you'll find they have one thing in common: effective leadership. Each challenge, unfortunately, requires a different leadership flavor, which makes UX leadership all the more demanding.
Growing our profession requires what I think of as practice leadership—things like mentoring junior team members, providing design vision, and generally improving how design is done. This is inward-facing leadership focused on the people who do design. This requires UX expertise as well skill in coaching, communication, and so forth.
Success with UX also requires a big dose of change leadership focused outside of the UX team: evangelizing design and shifting the whole organization's focus toward users and customers. This is one of the unique aspects of UX leadership; the head of the accounting department doesn't generally need to attempt the sort of massive cultural shift that's needed to create a design-led organization. The good news is that this kind of leadership doesn't require a lot of UX expertise; given a bit of education, I've seen leaders from engineering, marketing, and other disciplines adopt our cause and make tremendous progress.
I've had quite a few conversations with designers who assume that leadership and management have to be the same thing. Many were frustrated because they felt they'd mastered the core design skills and wanted new challenges, but didn't want to take on what they saw as the unpleasantness of management—things like dealing with money issues or being in meetings all day. However, you may have noticed that in describing the two flavors of UX leadership, I haven't mentioned budgets and performance reviews, nor have I used the word "manager."
Leaders are people who influence others to accomplish shared goals. Whether explicitly or by tacit example, they establish and foster values, help people envision a future direction, and support them in getting there. The word "influence" is key. I think we can all agree that it's best when managers possess the qualities of leaders, but leadership is not a title one can be assigned. It is, instead, a sort of unofficial mantle granted by the tacit consensus of other people. Managers are assigned; leaders emerge.
If we are to overcome our biggest challenges—growing our profession and injecting design into the DNA of our organizations—we must find ways to foster UX leadership. As always, I suspect our community will generate more great ideas than any individual can, but I'd like to propose a few thoughts for community leaders, educators, managers, and individual designers to consider.
Community leaders: Find ways to encourage conversations about leadership. When planning events, consider leadership as a discipline alongside interaction design, visual design, content strategy, information architecture, and others. Mentoring programs are essential given the number of practitioners who are a UX team-of-one; consider mentoring not just for design skills, but for leadership skills, too.
Educators: Much like design, leadership is a discipline that involves mastering a range of skills. Aptitude, practice, feedback, and some sort of theoretical framework all make mastery easier. Don't just teach research and design skills; at least introduce core concepts about communication, negotiation, and other aspects of leadership.
Managers: Consider offering a career path that recognizes leadership without management. Reward people for initiating team activities and mentoring junior staff members. Recognize aspects of leadership that you're not good at and partner with others who complement your skills. Be a mentor inside your organization and find time for outside mentoring if you can. Read Dan Pink's Drive if you haven't already.
Senior managers: Craft UX management jobs that don't divorce the practitioners from the practice. Most designers-as-leaders still need to be able to create to stay motivated. Remind new leaders to be patient with themselves; leadership is a whole new discipline to master.
Individuals, regardless of leadership role: Earn respect by becoming an expert at what you do. Don't wait to be given permission or authority to lead. If you're not gaining traction as a leader, don't blame the organization—look to your own leadership skills. Look for successful leaders in other parts of the organization and see if you can help turn them into UX leaders. Seek a mentor, or at least some honest feedback from your colleagues. Take a leadership course at your local business school. Read up on interpersonal leadership skills and learn about how organizational change works; John Kotter's Leading Change is a good starting point.
How will we know if we're successful? That's the tricky thing about leadership—you don't get to point to a work product and say, "I did that." If you're lucky, you look around every once in a while and see that your team, your organization, or your profession has made progress, and you find some satisfaction in thinking, "I helped enable that."
Kim Goodwin will be running a half-day workshop on UX leadership as part of UX London in April.

I do agree that there needs to be more of a focus on leadership in the UX industry. In the years of working in the Internet industry I have seen a lot of successes and failures in UX leadership. I think the framework (inward facing and outward facing) that is used here is a good way to think about UX leadership.
Our industry as whole is still pretty new and still evolving. Look at the different titles we have called ourselves over the years. The evolution of our role and our level contributions has affected UX leadership. I think in the beginning it was pretty open and as leaders we were allowed to contribute where we could. There were not a lot of expectations around the role and what we had to bring to the table. This was good and bad. The good side was that we were allowed to leverage our individual strengths and do what we could to make things better within an organization. But we had to fit within the rigidly of the traditional model of leadership and management. If you were lucky enough to get mentored this was less of a bumpy transition. If not, you were thrown to the wolves of corporate policy. Also we did lack "E" level influence in those days but we were able to affect the products on a team level.
Now there is such a higher level of expectations for us and what the role is or could be. Briefly mentioned in the article is that there are different types of leadership roles. In management speak this is situational leadership. For UX, these situational leadership roles are often dependent on the company's lifecycle. Start ups need one type of leader while medium sized companies need another. Since we all individuals with strengths and weakness there are some situations or companies that are a better match for us. Recognizing this and finding the best fit will help you grow and enjoy what you do.
There is a point about manager vs leader in this article and it is valid and I do agree that they are not equal to one another. However, there are not many opportunities out there were one gets to focus on design leadership without having to deal with management. I think it would be foolish of us to think that we could just skip out on that part of the role. Its not realistic. Most of us work in various size companies that operate under a company umbrella and these are required baggage that comes with the role. I do know of one organization that tried to break the role up into two roles (people management and design direction) but this is a luxury. Also who the heck wants to do just people management!? I think it can create a situation of animosity and unbalance. We are stuck with this work so I think we have to figure out how to minimize this in our day-to-day work.
Often times this management work becomes a trade off for hands on work. This in my opinion is where we get off track. It does not make sense to spend years of education and on the job experience mastering design skills to have them thrown away once you become a leader. It is not only is self-deprecating but also keeps you away from your passion. This is really tough to do and often projects are not meaty enough to really keep you challenged as a designer. Additionally if you are a good leader you should be providing challenging opportunities to your team to help them grow. It is not always an easy choice to make. Most organizations have enough work its just finding the right project to contribute to.
I am seeing a few new trends in UX leadership that is being driven out of the economic down turn. One of them is that most organizations are trying to be lean as result leaders at non-director levels seem to be disappearing or are hard to find. This consolidation results in loss of jobs and the remaining leaders taking on much more than they handle effectively. This is basically a scaling issue that leaves designers without much leadership and support. The leaders themselves are stretches so thin its hard to imagine them feeling great about what they are doing.
Thank you for your inspiring words and creative vision. I thoroughly enjoyed reading.
When a large company wants to have some UX leadership with good UX people, it cannot leave all the leadership fragmented across many leaders. As the most talented UX designers are also very ambitious. Ambitious is good, but bureaucracy is killing. This means UX leadership should be directed by a leader, an executive position. And this should be not some famous thought leader, or someone who just happens to be in the spotlight for whatever reason. It should be someone who is also a pragmatic leader and understands the business value of UX design.
This is the opposite of the "quick win" people. Nothing is wrong with quick wins, but only muddling along is too little ambitious to have a culture where designers feel ok and get the best out of them.
SAP had a kind of internal consultancy model for their UX people. This is also muddling along.
In the long run you want to have it in the R&D and production. Production should have business processes (also killing, but the only way to scale up) and on the R&D you want to have a talent pool and incubator. And I think for a large company it would be smart to have a UX department, which is split in half between R&D and production. And teams should rotate. And I would choose to have them on the same part of the building, with walls that the fruits of their creative process. And instead of going to conferences fly interesting people over to give a talk in a setting which makes it easier to interact and discuss. Must be doable for a large enterprises with a big R&D budget (IBM are you listening?).
Leaders are responsible for managing the corporate athmospere. So indeed it is not neccesry to be a UX designer and a leader at the same time. However the problem is that developers might foster in a different culture than designers do. So it should more than just optimal, it should suit like a glove. And this is were the hard part of leadership begins.
For a talented leader it doesn't matter much, but how mych talented leaders you think there are? Retoric question. I think you it should be a culture which leaves people room for experimenting, making mistakes and more than average should focus on users. This is particularly harder if it's not a consumer software which is built, but if it's a corporate software suite.
Most of the software industry is very developer minded, not so much design empowerment can be found. Here is what typically happens at those boring software companies, the story is a quotation of Steve Jobs, but it also very suitable to this, call it the Parable of the Concept Car:
"Here's what you find at a lot of companies," he says, kicking back in a conference room at Apple's gleaming white Silicon Valley headquarters, which looks something like a cross between an Ivy League university and an iPod. "You know how you see a show car, and it's really cool, and then four years later you see the production car, and it sucks? And you go, What happened? They had it! They had it in the palm of their hands! They grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory!
"What happened was, the designers came up with this really great idea. Then they take it to the engineers, and the engineers go, 'Nah, we can't do that. That's impossible.' And so it gets a lot worse. Then they take it to the manufacturing people, and they go, 'We can't build that!' And it gets a lot worse."
It's damn easy if you have a smaller scale UX company like me. But you need more good leaders when scaling up and those indeed should best not be an UX person who is just chosen because he is first in line because he is most senior.
Even more difficult is the in between scale, between small and large. I have seen companies like IBM, Lycos etc have large departments of UX people. And they lack any inspiration to come up with something useful and also killing is the checklist mentality of think "every thing is ok because we have UX guides" or "we have usability testing engineers, so we are good" If there is no link between concptualisation and iterative user feedback during the whole lifecycle, it's just more of the same. And this is why there is so little leadership everywhere, because they put a manager on the seat of a leader. No chance for UX what so ever. None.
I completely agree that UX leadership is needed in our industry. I believe that a major part of my role as a usability professional is to evangelize usability, to teach others within each company I work with about what makes products usable, learnable and how design factors into the marketability of their offerings.
I completely agree with the article & the previous comments that a UX leader does not have to be someone who even comes from a design background. One of the best UX leaders I have had the pleasure of working with did exactly what all the best leaders do: surrounded himself with very talented people, listened to them and empowered them to make paradigm shifts in the company.
I think EVERY UX practitioner can provide some measure of effective change in their sphere of influence. Do not give up just because they did not take your first recommendations or they just don't "get it". There are other ways to stimulate change:
*Provide industry examples for every recommendation
*Run workshops within your company and for the surrounding community
*Post blog articles (and comment on others)
*Take every design or product meeting as an opportunity to promote usability
I would say it is not so much about raising up paragons of UX to be our leaders as much as banding together as a group to provide more human-centered products in our future.
I send a letter to a company of which I heard they had some troubles with the user experience. So I send them an email and explained what problems UX-professionals solve. Guess what they never heard of it. And they were so interested and gave me a job, a carte blanche. They introduced me to all the departments inside the organization upon my request.
"Here is your room. Well there is no one to tell you what you should do, you're the first of your kind here. Make a job description, a strategy and a planning and let us know when you're done. You can contact anyone in the organization if you need some info."
So I investigated all big problems for all products they made, problems coming from users fed into some kind of bug-tracking system. I met all product teams of all departments to give me demo's and tell me where they felt things where less than desirable. Most of them told me everything was just fine the way it was (some where curious and gave my some info I could work with). The problem was that the developers didn't think the problems of the user were actual problems. Especially the software designers easily felt I invaded their territory where they felt true kings in.
This is where leadership starts. None is telling you anything, how to get them interested and use your work. If the ice is melted, you can come up with some ideas. And when they discover that their work becomes more easy, they maybe will start calling you. After all they still are used to the idea they "paint" the screens... Maybe then things have to get more organized in order to get rid of the low hanging fruit in all products, and you can have time to develop a vision and better strategies. Lobbying in kinds of places to be there before a new product gets developed.
Leadership starts with bootstrapping cooperation with fellow workers, evangelism is a very big part of it. When you're the first in a company of the UX kind, believe me it's damn hard. It will consume most of your time the question: "how can I get them come to me". Because this company was also my first UX job ever, I didn't knew yet about a lot of UX people (from organizations with UX already embedded) complaining a lot that they feel distracted with this question: "how I can get them to me". The more dominant that question becomes, the more you should be a leader, albeit an unofficial one.
A lot of organization still don't understand how to lead UX. So you have to figure it out for yourself. I can really really understand what kind of bureaucracy and unwillingness you can expect when you enter some castles inside the organization. My ambitions where to get to point A (defined when starting with my job) in 5 years. Soon I realized it might be 10 years, I was way too ambitious. And then I asked myself, why not start my own UX design minded company from scratch?
And guess what... the question will then haunt you, but it's different when you can call the shots.
The problem: UX design needs creativity not a checklist mentality. How to lead the bridge between developers and creative people is hard and for most traditional software companies unknown area. How it must be managed and how it must be lead, there are only a handful of companies who can scale it. I think it's nice if you as a leader can provide the answers so UX designers get less frustrated and focus more on their job, clarity about the ambitions of the company and the designers. But when everything is running so smooth (people can work focused as a team on a vision) if you're a bit like me you will sometimes probably miss the nostalgic feeling that not everything goes so easy. But maybe I am becoming an old fart.
This is a very important topic, and more relevant now than ever.
I applaud your insight that you needn't divorce the making of things from leadership, and that to be a great leader, one needn't just be a manager. In fact, some of the best leaders are very hands-on, nowhere more so than in the field of design.
I would only add one thing: if you aren't interested in becoming a UX leader within your organization, work to identify someone from the senior leadership team who will be receptive to your insights, and partner with them to ensure they are representing UX whenever possible. Share reading materials with them; send them blog posts; take them to user testing centers; ask them to review work in progress.
I've seen people with little or no formal experience in UX become some of the best, most influential UX evangelists within the organization. In some ways, the fact that they don't represent the discipline directly gives them extra credibility.

I use cygwin at work, since they don't want me to remove windows from my office machine. Not sure I really want to upgrade after the pain of the flaky installer lat time.
I'll probably stick with current until my Windows install or my 6 year old hard drive dies again.

A big Bravo Zulu to Mike Wilson, Charlie Johnson and wife Sharon for all of their diligent work in organizing the fun run on November 4th.
I hope that we can have another chapter meet next year with even better attendance.
Lake city, FL is to be complemented for making it possible to use their aquatic facility.

If you spend lots of time in nasty conditions during the winter...especially either deep snow or that typical "winter mix" of wet snow, deep puddles and mud...then a Sorel Boot is for you. Sorel Boots are warm, waterproof and especially easy to clean. Sorel's also seemingly last forever, too...especially since you can replace their liners.
All of these boots are available through Zappos, which provides free-return shipping in case you need to send the boots back for whatever reason.

Both are definitly dead, no point in hoping for a revival.
The openWolf developer has even switched to tinkering with the Open Torque3D engine as you can seen here: http://forums.warchestgames.com/show...penWolf/page16
Parts of Xreal/OpenWolf based on ET live on in the Daemon engine though, which is used in Unvanquished.
Otherwise I recently read about this project for those specifically looking for a (somewhat) modernized ET:
