Actress Jada Pinkett-Smith and her husband, actor/rapper Will Smith, have come under heavy criticism for 12-year-old daughter Willow's eccentric style. The latest manifestation of that is her shaved head. Critics are blowing up Twitter and Facebook with their disapproval of how they say the power couple Smiths are raising their daughter.
Many object to young Willow's sense of style, from the clothes and shoes she wears to how she wears her hair. Her style can only be described as eclectic and the "tween," who also sings, prefers sky-high chunky wedge shoes, a few piercings, I think, and an odd collection of mixed Goth/hip-hop and grunge attire.
Jada and Will have never publicly responded to the criticism until now. In a letter posted on Facebook titled "Letter To a Friend, mom Jada wrote this about her daughter's bald pate: "Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth is not measured by the length of her hair." (Read the rest of Jada's letter here: ... http://bit.ly/Sroj7b).
As a mom, I know our first instinct is to feel Jada and Will are being too permissive, that by allowing their children to freely express themselves, they are inadvertently playing the "friend" role instead of the parents with rules and boundaries. At first, I thought so too. But Jada's powerful opening line (above) speaks to the other side: What's so bad about Willow head sans hair? Does it harm her in any way—physically, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually?
Many parents in the black community allow their 12-year-old daughters to perm their hair. In fact, some initiate it long before that age by putting that harmful chemical in young girls' hair to remove the dreaded "kink." Isn't that more of a health hazard to our girls than a shaved head—especially if they are comfortable with it?
What about the psychological aspects of a perm? You know, that age old "black hair" issues where our self-esteem and self-worth are tightly wrapped up in the texture of our tresses. We were told and taught that the European straight, long, soft hair is better, more beautiful than our natural "kinky hair, a social idea that was generationally inherited by many.
I find it fascinating that we do not have outraged parents writing about passing on our harmful legacy of "permed or straightened hair" to our daughters but who spew over Willow's shaved head. We feed a billion-dollar industry of dangerous products, all geared towards ostensibly making our hair "prettier" and more "manageable." But strange as it may sound, are the two related?
I remember cutting off all my hair when I was about 19. It literally broke my mom's heart, because she couldn't understand why I would cut off all my "good hair." That "good, nice hair" had a little help since I was very young. My mom used to "press" my hair; it was a thick mass of what we called in the Caribbean "hard-to-comb" hair.
Thank goodness we were too poor to buy the chemical cream that could do what the hot comb did, but better. Straight, soft, shiny hair remained that way much longer and didn't change back to the dreaded kinky natural state when wet, as the "pressed" hair did. I say thank goodness, for like many other little girls in my neighborhood, I would have started using harmful chemical cream much earlier. Alas, as soon as I graduated and had a job, I gleefully went to "straighten" my thick hair.
Which begs the question, are folks mad at Willow's parents because they allowed her to cut off all that "good hair?" (Jada had naturally softer hair, and Willow inherited it).

From Martinsburg:
Despite Steve Christian's assiduous efforts at Berkeley County Development Authority, successful businessmen are not fools. West Virginia's business-climate with its many regulations and severe restrictions is not a lure to prudent entrepreneurs. Wealth consists of useful products created by free people. Free West Virginia from legislative suppression!

From Martinsburg:
Gov. Tomblin and his henchmen have "circled the wagons" and "taken an oath of silence" about the squandered $126.3 million Obama stimulus funds. They even admit it's "embarrassing" that taxpayers' money paid for that broadband mess. Now we taxpayers deserve to see what we paid for. Release the consultant's report now!
From Martinsburg:
W.Va. State Sen. "Saint John" Unger again flaunts his "benevolence and compassion for kids" by making "gifts" of breakfast and lunch with other people's money. He also seeks to siphon-off more federal tax-money grants. Voluntary grants from the Chamber of Commerce and businesses are OK. Taxpayer funds ARE NOT!
From Charles Town:
Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. Complaining of Easter egg hunts for children. It's just a fun way created for children to look forward to the Easter celebration. Have you ever known an egg represents a new life? Get off your narrow-minded behinds, and open your hearts to the real world, and pagan fertility topics. What a waste. I feel sorry for you. Look for the positive.
From Martinsburg:
Ranson thinks NRA members are stupid. Something to think about: 90 percent of the current administration have degrees from Harvard and when the president talks about fixing the economy, the only idea he can come up with is "let's build some bridges." Five years later, how is that working out?
From Martinsburg:
I was so relieved to know that Mr. or Ms. Concerned felt so appalled by children gathering Easter eggs that they were compelled to share their righteous indignation. We have so many hungry, homeless and abused children in this country. I'm gratified to see this person has their priorities in order. What, indeed, would Jesus say?

From Hagerstown:
A number of people have asked: where the ramp from Halfway Boulevard to I-81 South narrows from two lanes to one and there is a sign that says "Alternate Right of Way," why is there a smaller one underneath it that says "Take Turns"?

hi Experts,
I am facing some problem with tftp-server in Redhat linux
Actually we used this tftp server for IOS image coping in to routers
the problem is
actually we installed tftp-server-0.40-1 package on my Redhat linux
and edited /etc/xinetd.d/tftp as below
service tftp
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -u root -c -U 111 -s /tftp/
disable = no
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
so our tftp server uses /tftp/ as default/public folder for our TFTP
and we kept our images in that /tfpt server and started the xinetd
then i loged in to router and when we started copying the image middle
its stoping the coping
R7348-PRE4#copy tftp: disk0:
Address or name of remote host []? 126.96.36.199
Source filename []? /tftp/images/test
Destination filename [test]?
Accessing tftp://18.104.22.168//tftp/images/test...
Loading /tftp/images/test from 18.104.22.168 (via
FastEthernet0/0/0): !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
[timed out]
%Error reading tftp://126.96.36.199//tftp/images/test (Timed out)
This is the problem we are facing
actually i tried for different images
the files/images which are less than 32MB is coping properly with out
any problem
the files/images which are more than 32MB are not able to copy and
giving timed out error
so i did some googling and found that some older version TFTP servers
will not support with a file size more than 32MB
"The original protocol has a file size limit of 32 MB,
although this was extended when RFC 2347 introduced option
which was used in RFC 2348 to introduce block-size negotiation in
(allowing a maximum of 4 GB and potentially higher throughput).
If the server and client support block number wraparound, file size is
essentially unlimited."
but what the software we use, it will support up to 192MB
here we got strucked :(
here my question is.. Is there any file to see what is the tftp limit
in my server
or can any one give a solution for this one how to copy files which
are more then 32MB?
Thanks in advance

Eight pounds of marijuana seized in bust
Upshur Sheriff arrests 'biggest dealer' in county
October 19, 2013
A Buckhannon man is behind bars after sheriff's deputies seized 8 pounds of marijuana and approximately $4,000 from him over a period of several months....
I wonder if the $4,000 they "seized" is enough to cover the "costly" investigation of this person. Maybe if it didn't they could sell some of that pot back to their "informants". The California State Liquor Control Board hired Prof. Mark Kleiman of UCLA to research Washington's existing marijuana market. He estimated Washington's medical and illicit consumption generates approximately $1.2 billion in sales annually. Wonder what a study of WV would say...

Concentrating on marijuana when the biggest problem is methamphetamine sounds like dodging the real issue if you ask me. There are drugs out there that ruin people's lives and cause them to kill and be killed, but this office chooses to focus on a mild euphoric. Good job. We're all safer now.

Extreme Grooming: Would You Do This to Your Dog?
At Angela Kumpe's grooming studio in Arkansas, pet owners with a flair for the dramatic can give their dogs almost any look imaginable – looks so wild, they got their own TV show. The new Animal Planet special Clipped!, airing Friday, May 3 at 10 p.m. ET, follows Kumpe and her staff as they work to turn a loyal customer's pup, Buggy, into a bumblebee.
"I can transform dogs into almost anything," Kumpe says. "You name it, I can do it."
The finished product proves to be an impressive display: Buggy has been dyed yellow and black. Topping off his look? A pink flower, much to the delight of his owner. But with all the effort and the assumed costs – not to mention the potential distress caused to the pooch – we have to wonder: Would you do this to your dog? Vote below!

EAST PALESTINE - A village officer will be joining the county drug task force (DTF).
Council last week accepted the $10,000 being offered by county commissioners to cities and villages as part of their effort to boost participation in the force.
The money will pay the wages and benefits of the participating officer on a part-time basis and is available as a result of tax payments commissioners received from Ohio's first casinos.
Commissioners are also offering $20,000 annually to departments willing to assign an officer to the force on a full-time basis.
Police Chief Kevin Dickey said the village had an officer on the force off an on over the years since its inception 21 years ago. In 2008, the village decided to discontinue participation as a result of severe budgeting difficulties.
Dickey said the village wouldn't be able to participate if money had not been made available by commissioners.
"With the economy the way it's been the last several years-we are starting to see some improvement now-but budgeting and funding is still not where it needs to be, we are still on the rebound from that," he said.
Little more than $200,000 was cut from the village's budget this year, with about half of the cuts made to the general fund, which is where the administration, finance, police and fire departments get their revenue.
The department is the largest chunk of the general fund and typically operates on a budget of $800,000 to $843,000.
Dickey said a task force officer hasn't been chosen yet. The first step in the process is to advertise the position as open to all full- and part-time officers at the local department. Applicants will then be interviewed by Dickey who will choose one person to be considered by the DTF board of control.
Finance Director Traci Thompson said the length of the village's participation in the program depends on the chosen officers' existing salary.
Dickey said he hopes an officer will be selected within the next few weeks.
"It's going to be a great thing ... It will be a great thing for East Palestine and especially for the county because it's mutually beneficial for each," he said of the DTF participation.
A benefit of having an officer on the force is that the local department will have things available for covert operations that wouldn't otherwise be available due to a lack of money, he explained.
"They do have the funding for undercover drug purchases, specialized equipment and manpower," he said.
Over the last year the department has ramped up drug-related arrests, and participation on the task force will increase those efforts significantly, he added.
Councilman Don Elzer said 2012 drug arrests were up 560 percent compared to 2011.
"What we've changed over the last (several) months has been incredible," he said.
Dickey said the increase in arrests is a result of "proactive" efforts, which are more officers on the street and more drug interdictions.
There were 33 on-site arrests last year compared to five in 2011, he noted.
"This is just sheer proactive police work," he said.
Being proactive is one way to fight drug activity. The other is covert operations, and that's where the task force comes in, he said.
"I think the more people you get involved with the drug task force will be good for all communities as a whole. I'd encourage all municipalities to take advantage," he said.

MARTINSBURG - Both the Berkeley County Health Department and Heartland of Martinsburg officials agree that residents at the company's personal care facility have demonstrated symptoms of a drug-resistant bacteria - the same type of "super bug" which has grown increasingly common in healthcare facilities.
As a result, county health officials have issued an order restricting short-term admissions at the personal care facility until steps can be taken to better address this issue and prevent future problems, said Dr. Diana Gaviria.
Antibiotics are not effective on carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections, so these germs can be hard to fight when they get into the blood, she said. Not only are these types of infections difficult to treat, they can sometimes result in death, Gaviria said.
As an added precautionary measure, a letter detailing the potential for this type of problem has also been sent to other area healthcare facilities and doctors, she said. It's a proactive approach that's meant to help educate others so that they are aware of potential problems and able to spot red flags, Gaviria said.
"It is true that Heartland is having an issue, but it is not new, since we have worked with them for approximately two years. But now they have been having an outbreak, so we felt it was prudent to work to try to improve their infectious control measures," Gaviria said.
"This particular bug has become more prevalent on the East Coast, but Heartland was also the first facility in West Virginia to have this," she said.
She said it is impossible to say how long the restriction will be in place, because the facility has been given a list of items which are necessary to have an effective infectious control program in place, she said.
"We will be meeting regularly with them to track their progress and support them," Gaviria said.
In an email statement, Heartland corporate spokesperson Julie Beckert said residents have had symptoms of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae - or CRKP - and that the center has "taken a proactive approach to curb this illness."
She said the center is restricting admissions temporarily, while also encouraging visitors to employ prevention techniques such as hand washing and reducing their exposure.
"Heartland is the only healthcare center in the area that conducts routine Point Prevalence Studies - monitoring and testing of patients to check for this organism," the statement reads.
"We are confident that these steps will help curtail the situation, and we will continue to evaluate these restrictions daily. Our number one priority is the well-being of our residents, patients and staff members, and we are committed to delivering quality care," it concludes.

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin declined Tuesday to act on South Carolina's extradition warrant for Dusten Brown until the birth father of Veronica has a chance to challenge the legality of his arrest for failing to turn her over to her adoptive parents on James Island.
Fallin said she had received Gov. Nikki Haley's signed warrant seeking Brown's extradition to South Carolina and had spoken to her counterpart in the Palmetto State. But Fallin said in a statement she has declined Haley's request to sign the warrant until Brown has a chance to contest the action at a Sept. 12 court hearing in Sequoyah County, Okla.
"This is a difficult and sad situation for everyone involved, and Gov. Haley is working with law enforcement, the state of Oklahoma, and the family to resolve it as quickly as legally possible," said Doug Mayer, Haley's spokesman, by email in response. "Regardless of the varying personal opinions on this case, it is every governor's first priority to uphold the rule of law and that is what must happen here. Both the U.S. and South Carolina Supreme Courts have spoken and the governor remains committed to returning baby Veronica back home safely."
Brown is wanted in Charleston County on a custodial-interference charge for failing to surrender his 3-year-old daughter to Matt and Melanie Capobianco. He surrendered to Oklahoma authorities on Monday but was quickly released on a $10,000 bond. South Carolina authorities are now trying to get him back in custody and sent to South Carolina.
The Capobiancos, expressing frustration at the delay in reuniting with Veronica, vowed Monday to travel to Oklahoma and retrieve the little girl, whom they described as a "captive." Word surfaced late Tuesday that they had indeed traveled to the Sooner State and planned to hold a press conference in Tulsa this morning.
A statement from Fallin's office said she "believes that Mr. Brown should have the opportunity to argue his case in a court of law, and she will not act on the rendition order before that date. However, the governor encourages both the Capobianco family and Mr. Brown to reach a resolution outside of court as quickly as possible."
Fallin said that as a mother, her heart goes out to Veronica, "who has been placed in a terrible situation." She said she can also imagine the pain both sides in the case are feeling, but her hope is "that sending Mr. Brown to face criminal charges in South Carolina is unnecessary."
"To be clear, the legal system cannot deliver a happy ending in this case. Only Mr. Brown and the Capobianco family can do that," she said. "For Veronica's sake, I urge them to reconcile and to come to an agreement that best serves their child and grants all parties some measure of peace."
After the Oklahoma governor's statement, the attorney for Christy Maldonado, Veronica's birth mother, thanked Fallin "for her concern and her acknowledgement of her duty to uphold the law."
The attorney, Lori Alvino McGill, referred to Fallin's suggestion that the opponents in the dispute resolve their differences. But Alvino McGill said Brown should start with "a small measure of kindness" by letting the Capobiancos visit or speak with Veronica.
"No one wants to see Mr. Brown go to jail — least of all the Capobiancos," who want Brown and the Cherokee culture to be a part of Veronica's life, the attorney said. "But everyone has to follow the law, including Mr. Brown."
Brown's attorney, Clark Brewster, told the Tulsa World newspaper on Monday that Brown will fight extradition.
"I suspect that's going to be a serious challenge of whether that's a crime in this state," Brewster told the newspaper. "That's a very unusual statute in South Carolina. We'll argue that it's not an extraditable charge."
Charleston County Sheriff's Maj. Jim Brady and 9th Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said they had no new information to provide about efforts to bring Brown and Veronica back to South Carolina.
Meanwhile, attorneys for Brown Wednesday will challenge a judge's request for them to reveal Veronica's whereabouts and what they knew about their client's resistance to an order finalizing her adoption. The hearing takes place at 3 p.m. in Charleston County Family Court.
Family Court Judge Daniel Martin approved the adoption on July 31. But after the toddler and Dusten Brown didn't show up for a visitation with the girl's adoptive parents, he ordered Brown's attorneys to hand over the information.
Brown's representatives have said he missed the visitation because he was attending required training in Iowa with the Oklahoma National Guard, of which he is a part-time member.
The order is one of the strongest actions in the custody dispute since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that Brown wrongly got custody of the girl under the Indian Child Welfare Act. Brown and Veronica are members of the Cherokee Nation.
After the case was sent back to South Carolina courts, the Capobiancos' adoption was finalized.
The girl, who turns 4 next month, lived with the couple for the first 27 months of her life and has been living with Brown in the 19 months since.

Running back injuries have crept up at the wrong time for fantasy football owners.
The most serious of those is to Denver's Willis McGahee, who is out for the rest of the fantasy season because of a torn MCL in his right knee. The former Bill also suffered a fractured leg last week. McGahee's injury leaves a mess in the Broncos' backfield.
Ronnie Hillman is likely to take over the starter, but he might share time with Lance Ball. Hillman is the more explosive runner, but at 190 pounds, it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to handle the workload of a feature back. Hillman has just one touchdown this season, but he's got an inviting matchup Sunday against the Chiefs.
In Philadelphia, LeSean McCoy suffered a concussion late in Week 11. While he hasn't officially been ruled out, it's worth picking up Bryce Brown just in case. Complicating matters somewhat is the Eagles don't play until Monday night, but Brown's got flex appeal against the Panthers in what should be a featured role.
Jacksonville running back Maurice Jones-Drew also isn't expected back for Week 12. The Jaguars are expected to make a change at running back, starting Jalen Parmele in place of Rashad Jennings. Parmele got 24 carries for 80 yards in Week 12 against Houston, and has a much easier matchup Sunday against Tennessee.
It's also questionable whether Oakland's Darren McFadden can get back in the lineup Sunday because of an ankle injury. That means another start for Marcel Reece, who was a fantasy beast last week with 193 total yards and 19 points. It won't be as easy for Reece on Sunday at Cincinnati, as the Bengals give up just 81 rushing yards per game at home. Reece, though, still is a solid No. 2 play. If he's still available in your league, find a spot for him.
Quarterback shuffling
Colin Kaepernick's coming-out party last week for the 49ers against the Bears won't be just a one-week fantasy wonder. Signs are pointing to Kaepernick starting again Sunday in New Orleans. The Saints are allowing an NFL high 20.9 points per game.
Kaepernick has the added benefit of being a dual threat. He became the first player in Division I history to throw for 10,000 yards and rush for 4,000 yards during his collegiate career at Nevada.
In Jacksonville, former Bills coach Mike Mularkey will turn to Chad Henne at quarterback after the team placed second-year veteran Blaine Gabbert on injured reserve. Henne had the surprise fantasy performance of Week 11, throwing for 354 yards and four touchdowns - against the Texans, no less. A repeat performance shouldn't be expected, but the Titans are allowing opposing quarterbacks 17.6 points per game. Henne also should have plenty of motivation - Mularkey said if he plays well over the final six weeks of the season, he'll go into 2013 as the Jaguars' starter.
In Chicago, Jay Cutler was limited in practice Thursday as he recovers from a concussion. If he's ready to play Sunday, he's a solid start. In his past four games against Minnesota, Cutler's thrown 12 touchdowns and four interceptions and has a 104.5 quarterback rating. Minnesota is giving up 18.7 points per game to opposing QBs.
Analyzing the Bills
C.J. Spiller owners rejoice! The Bills said this week the Spiller will get the "majority" of carries Sunday against the Colts, firmly establishing him as a No. 1 running back. Fred Jackson owners should also take note. Jackson is nothing more than a flex player in deep leagues now.
Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has the potential to put up some points in a game that has shootout potential. The Colts have allowed an average of 304 passing yards per game in the past three weeks. That's also good news for Bills receiver Stevie Johnson and tight end Scott Chandler, both of whom can start Sunday. For deeper leagues, just a hunch: Donald Jones will score Sunday.
As for the Colts, running back Vick Ballard is eighth in the league with 76 rushes over the past five weeks. He's the starting back. Ballard doesn't have a touchdown rush this season, but the Bills have given up 16 of those, most in the NFL.
Quarterback Andrew Luck is worthy of starting. He has thrown eight touchdowns and just two interceptions this season at Lucas Oil Stadium. Receiver Reggie Wayne is a must start, while rookie T.Y. Hilton is a sleeper option. He's got three 100-yard games this season, including last week's six-catch, 100-yard game that included two touchdowns.

Maria Garcia
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Maria Garcia is a state recognized television journalist in El Paso, Texas. She currently anchors an hour-long weekday newscast at 4 p.m. and hosts a live news discussion and debate program on Sunday nights.
During ABC-7 at 4, which airs Monday through Friday, Maria interviews newsmakers live and explores the top stories of the day. She's been with ABC-7 since October 2005.
Maria is the only local journalist who examines the single top story of the week or controversial topics in a more in-depth way every Sunday night on ABC-7 Xtra, a live discussion program in which she interviews a panel and takes viewer phone calls and emails.
Aside from anchoring and hosting ABC-7 Xtra, Maria is also a seasoned reporter. You can watch her live reports during the week on ABC-7 at 5 and 6.
The Texas Associated Press has recognized her for her beat reporting on city politics and policy, including the City of El Paso's move to issue health benefits for gay couples. The move dominated headlines, divided the city, launched political campaigns, fueled mayoral and city council recall elections and started a lengthy court battle. Maria was the only local journalist to cover the entire journey for more than two years and received an AP award for her complete coverage.
Her investigative reporting has led to change in public organizations. When Maria investigated what appeared to be nepotism at William Beaumont Army Medical Center, the commander of the hospital established policies that made the hiring process more transparent.
She has reported on the violence in Juarez, including a ride-along with Mexican federal soldiers during the high-risk night shift in the height of the bloody drug war. She's conducted exclusive interviews with governors and congressmen but her passion is talking and interviewing residents in her community about issues that affect their lives.
Becoming a journalist was always Maria's passion. Raised by a hardworking Mexican immigrant mom, Maria would often listen to her tell stories of their life and her ancestors. Maria became so enthralled by storytelling and the impact a single story can have on a person's point of view, decisions and life. She knew she wanted to tell stories when she grew up. Maria's mom still has home video of 9-year old Maria pretending to be a television reporter. Her mom, Maria Elena, would often pretend to be a newsmaker young Maria interviewed.
Fueled by that aspiration, Maria asked for an internship with ABC-7 when she was a junior in college and she got it! She spent four months absorbing all she could during her internship and found a story she was passionate about telling: it revolved around a one-year old baby named Alejandro who suffered from juvenile mylomonocyctic leukemia, a disease so rare only 60 other people in the United States had been diagnosed with it. Even a common cold could turn deadly for Alejandro and his family was in a race against time trying to find Alejandro a bone marrow donor who could save his life. Maria wanted to do the story to share Alejandro's plight with El Pasoans.
After showing the finished story to the ABC-7 News Director, he asked Maria to present it live on a weekend newscast. She did and that Monday morning, KVIA hired Maria. At the time, she was 20 years old and a full time student at the University of Texas at El Paso so she worked part time, behind the scenes and reported on the weekends until she graduated from UTEP in 2008. Then she began reporting and anchoring full time.
Aside from storytelling, Maria loves neighborhoods because neighborhoods are a common denominator for the different kinds of people in a community. She lives in historic Sunset Heights with her dogs Louie and Netty.
Last year, after celebrating a triumph over a life-changing surgery and a cancer scare, Maria organized a massive neighborhood cleanup and park celebration with free food and live music for her community. She also started a trap-neuter-return program to curb pet overpopulation in her neighborhood. And Maria is also helping organize a trunk or treat for children in her neighborhood this Halloween.
Maria's goal ultimately is to make her mom proud. She's the first generation in her family to graduate from college and enjoys mentoring young women who are also trying to break into a professional career from a similar background.

Is information a competitive differentiater? | Opensource.com
Is information a competitive differentiater?
I started thinking about the value of information here in San Francisco at the Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), held May 21-22. It's the first day of a two-day conference, and some of the leading experts in open source are here presenting, learning, networking and more. During the opening remarks by John Amato, Vice President & Publisher, Computerworld, and Matt Asay, Vice President Business Development, Nodeable, we discovered that about half the attendees are new to the conference, which is great for open source.
The first keynote speaker was Jim Whitehurst, President & CEO, Red Hat. Whitehurst focused his talk on
how information is becoming the source of competitive differentiation. He started by telling the story of agriculture. Over time, the power and value in agriculture was held by the land owners. Over the last few decades, the value has shifted to the farm machinery manufacturers. Now, the value lies with the information around agriculture. Consider things like hybrid seeds, soil composition and nutrients, best time to plant—all factors that can help maximize crop yields.
Whitehurst then talked about the nuts and bolts of open source—comparing the Industrial Age to the Information Age. Brian Proffitt captured the essence of this concept in his post on IT World:
Specifically, Whitehurst described the invention of the auto lathe in 1810 by Henry Maudslay, which enabled the mass production of standardized hardware, such as nuts and bolts. It would be the availability of such standardized components, approximately 60 years into the Industrial Age, that would spawn a massive explosion of innovation around industrial products.
Whitehurst made a point to note that we are now about 60 years past the invention of the computer. He now sees the standardization of IT components, which are almost as unexciting for IT people as nuts and bolts, as the new platform from which a massive growth of IT innovation will be launched.
Whitehurst also talked about the explosion of innovation in open source. "When transaction costs go away, innovation explodes," said Whitehurst. "With transaction costs going away, we're seeing a different ways to coordinate human behavior."
The value of information depends on whether you can get it and what you can do with it. Essentially, this value is about access and analysis of information. That's why information is the competitive differentiater of the Information Age.
3 Comments
Have you thought about this in terms of information theory? I would argue that data itself is not the competitive differentiator, it is the information that you can access / extract from this data. This is why the data can be made open and freely available; it's the analysis you keep in house. The Netflix prize can be seen as an example of this.
Isn't that ware things get sticky? What various individuals, or corporations think the data holds. What it defines? It's like the U.S. Budget, Depending on whom you listen... each a different story. So it's the data, not the discussion of what the data is telling us. Our understanding of what the data describes even changes, as more data becomes available. Take global warming..eh hem, ah climate change. for instance. Heated discussion on what the data actually tells us. Some times we are not as smart as we think. Guess there's a data set for that as well..DSM5 :-)
I'm intriguied. Can you say more? Whose theory of information, for instance, are you suggesting will reframe this argument? Shannon's? Someone else's?

UPDATE: Check out our latest 27-inch Apple iMac review
Although the form factor is unchanged, the 2011 Apple iMac refresh represents a significant step forwards for the popular all-in-one computer. Again consisting of two 21.5-inch models and two with 27-inch screens, the entire lineup has switched to Intel's Sandy Bridge processors, the second generation of the respected Core-i CPU series.
Quad core Intel Core i5s are used throughout, whereas the 2010 iMacs they replace used dual core Intel Core i3s in all but the most expensive model.
Our colleagues at T3.com grabbed some Apple iMac 27-inch footage which you can watch below.
The 27-inch iMac under review here is the priciest in the 2011 range, but instead of the quad-core 3.1GHz Intel Core i5 processor offered in the standard configuration, ours was fitted with a quad core 3.4GHz Core i7 CPU. This is available as a configure-to-order option on the online Apple store, costing £1,809 rather than the £1,649 quoted for the top-end off the shelf offering.
It's otherwise identical to the top-of-the-range 27-inch 3.1GHz iMac in the 2011 range. Its graphics processor is an AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, up from an ATI Radeon HD 5750 in the top 2010 version, the 27-inch SSD.
Storage remains unchanged – a 1TB 7200rpm hard drive is installed as standard, with configuration options offering a 2TB drive, a 256GB solid-state drive or a combination of SSD and HDD.
Once again, it has 4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 memory out of the box, which can be expanded to 16GB either as an online configuration option or a post-market modification by the end user.
The 27-inch 2011 iMac's Mini DisplayPort has been dropped in favour of two Thunderbolt ports, an exciting new I/O technology that can support video as well as data.
You can plug a Mini DisplayPort monitor directly into a Thunderbolt port for use as a second screen, and it also acts as a video-in port, allowing you to use the iMac's huge 2560x1440 pixel 27-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display as a screen for another device.
The FaceTime camera has been upgraded to HD, and the SD card reader now supports the SDXC format.

Leventina stretches from the southern portal of the Gotthard Tunnel near Airolo alongside the Ticino River and extends southward toward the valley up to the town of Biasca. From Airolo, where a cold wind occasionally blows from the Gotthard and where pine forests predominate, it's only 40 kilometers, but the gradient is an impressive 800 meters. Two valley levels divide the Leventina into three sections. The expressway and the railway line run via imposing architectural masterpieces in order to overcome the differences in height in the narrow valley.
The best-preserved village in the Leventina is Giornico, which has old stone buildings, paved roads and two impressive arched bridges across the Ticino. Here, in the Casa Stanga, you will find the Leventina Museum and one of Ticino's most significant religious buildings, the beautiful Romanesque San Nicola Church - one of several Romanesque masterpieces in the Leventina - with beautifully preserved frescoes.
The region is a marvelous hiking area with intact villages, Romanesque art treasures, idyllic mountain lakes, mountain farming, and a diverse flora and agricultural products, including chestnuts, Alpine roses, blueberries, mushrooms and Alpine cheeses. The best-known hiking route in the Leventina is the "Strada Alta", the panoramic mountain trail from Airolo to Biasca.
High above the Leventina, the high altitude trail "Sentiero Alto del Tremorgio" runs from the Pesciüm Mountain Station (1745m) near Airolo, through a sparse mountain forest and romantic landscapes to the mountain lake of Tremorgio. Hike down to Prato, or ride the cable car across the valley to Rodi.
Even down in the valley unforgettable adventures await. For example, hiking the historic mule-traders path through the narrow Piottino Gorge, which, besides the Schöllenen Gorge and Via Mala, is one of Switzerland's most impressive transit routes.
Skiers find in Airolo a snow-guaranteed, popular skiing area with a modern cabin lift and 30 kilometers of runs. A smaller skiing area awaits you above Faido at Cari.
- Strada alta – the popular mountain hiking tour from Airolo to Bodio Biasca, passes - always at a height of 1000 meters - some of the valley's most beautiful mountain villages. The tour can be divided into two- or three-day stages.
- Ritom-Reservoir Lake – you will reach the magnificent high valley, Val Piora, with the Ritom funicular from Piotta. With a maximum gradient of 878 promille, it is one of the steepest funiculars in the world, and takes you up to the reservoir wall of the Ritom Reservoir Lake. No less than 20 small and large mountain lakes are spread throughout the barren mountain region.
- The church of San Nicola in Giornico – a beautiful Romanesque church built with granite around 1210 - has excellently preserved medieval frescoes in the choir apse.
- The Piottino Gorge near Rodi-Fiesso – separates the Upper from the Central Leventina with 100-meter high rock walls on both sides. The erstwhile mule-traders path through the gorge is now a hiking trail, and the old customs station, "Dazio grande", has become a museum with a restaurant.

My son plays varsity football at Jefferson High School. He has been playing since fifth grade. He has had plenty of "good" and "bad" coaches. He's had good and bad team mates. But the one thing he has never done is be disrespectful to the team. He goes to all the practices. He follows all the rules. When he started playing football I told him he represents his school. He is a role model. Show character, integrity, loyalty, dedication and teamwork.
I'm proud of my son and those who didn't quit. I still haven't heard what the coach did from any of the parents. If coach is that bad, please inform me. I only know what my son tells me.
I do want to thank all the coaches for the experience I have had with them. They seem to be caring, hard working people. I have always had open communication with them. The hard grueling work my son has to go through. The grades he has to keep up. That there is more to life than sports. Thanks. And I am so excited to see JV go to varsity next year!!! I think we will make a come back!!!

LEWISBURG - Two collaborative project teams at Bucknell University were honored recently with the Maxwell Award, which is presented annually to cross-functional groups, project teams and task forces that have participated in exceptional collaborative efforts.
Lewisburg Community Garden
Established last spring at the corner of St. Anthony and Water streets, the Lewisburg Community Garden grew from the "Feeding Our Hearts, Expanding Our Vision" initiative, as a response to the White House Interfaith Challenge. Half the space was rented to members of the local community to grow their own food.
The other half was a living-learning classroom where more than 300 Bucknell volunteers harvested 52 crops, including corn, potatoes, tomatoes, sprouts and chard. The produce was given to area food programs, primarily the Community Harvest hot meal program in Milton, feeding more than 150 people each week.
In addition, summer interns held educational programs on gardening, plant growth and weather cycles for children enrolled in the Lewisburg Area Recreation Authority day camp.
Gender Neutral Housing
The offices of LGBT Resources, Housing Services and Psychological Services, led by Stephen Apanel and William McCoy, worked with students to develop independent living areas in the Gateways or the Mods.
Apanel, associate director of housing services, and McCoy, director of the Office of LGBT Awareness, earned a "Top Ten" award for their presentation on this program at the Mid-Atlantic Association of College and University Housing Officers.
Beginning this fall, gender neutral housing aims to provide supportive environments for students who may identify as LGBT, are questioning their identity, or do not wish to subscribe to classifications. Students can choose the gender neutral option during the annual housing selection process. The option is also available through the University's affinity housing program, which allows students to propose themed living such as theatre, music or sustainability.
The Maxwell Award honors former Bucknell Vice President for Administration Barry Maxwell. Maxwell, who earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Bucknell, joined the mechanical engineering faculty in 1963. Named dean of the College of Engineering in 1979, he became vice president for administration in 1986 and retired in 1998. He was honored with the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1975 and the Loyalty to Bucknell Award in 1999. Established in 1994 as the WOW awards, the award was renamed in his honor in 2000.

A Clarence man was charged Thursday with three misdemeanor counts of sexual abuse, forcible touching and acting in a manner injurious to a child.
Richard Cannistrea, 67, of Boyd Drive, is accused of abusing a child under 12 in the town in 2005 and 2006, Erie County sheriff's officials reported.
The matter wasn't initially reported because the child's parents decided to handle the matter internally, officials said, but at the insistence of a family friend, the child recently contacted the Sheriff's Office after learning Cannistra was now baby-sitting three young children.
Deputies said Cannistra has been issued appearance tickets for a pending Clarence Town Court session.

Kirk Ferentz: A couple things I'll just start real quickly before we get to football. I thought our fans were tremendous today, certainly appreciate that. And they've been great all year, so we're very appreciative of that. You know, we certainly couldn't honor the vets in a better fashion. I think that's two years in a row now we've lost when we celebrated Veterans Day. But just certainly appreciative of the athletic department's efforts to recognize that in a very, I think, appropriate way.
And the last thing, just I think everybody feels the same way in our community and the University of Iowa community, just our sympathy to the family of Sam Becker. I've had the pleasure of meeting some really great Iowans during my time, and I met Professor Becker back in the '80s through recruiting, and I know he wasn't a native Iowan but his story is absolutely fantastic. I believe I'm correct in saying he got in here in 1940 and has been here ever since, just what a gentleman, so humble and just a tremendous person. So that's certainly a big loss for our community, but what a life he had.
Regarding the game, obviously disappointing. Give Purdue credit; they came in and played to win and competed hard enough to win, and looked like the team that played against Ohio State, Notre Dame earlier in the year. So give them credit.
Clearly we were outcoached and outplayed, particularly in the first half. That's disappointing.
And really the only two positives I can share with you right now, I thought our guys fought in the second half and gave us a chance to win, but we came up short there. The effort and attitude was certainly there. And then the one positive from our team right now that we're watching is our special teams are -- they are playing at a level that can be successful in the Big Ten Conference, and that's kickoff, kickoff coverage, kick return. Connor did a nice job today punting the football. It was clearly a couple of his biggest moments, and Mike Meyer has been doing a good job.
That's the big positives I can share with you, and outside of that, there isn't a lot to bring up today.
Q. How were you outcoached and why?
KIRK FERENTZ: Real simply they clearly outplayed us in the first half. They were more ready to play emotionally, more ready to play cleaner, more fundamentally sound. You can say it's this, it's that, lunar moon, whatever, but that's coaching. And that's me. Coaching starts with me.
Q. You said special teams are playing at a level that you like. Why not go for the field goal instead of the 4th and 3?
KIRK FERENTZ: You're talking about at the end of the game? We were out there pretty good, so I felt like that was a better percentage. I guess we could have gone for the field goal. It really didn't occur to me at that point, but we could have taken a shot at it.
Q. You were into the wind?
KIRK FERENTZ: The wind was in our face. Going into the game and through the game we were thinking 30-yard line, but on the last play of the game if you miss it they've still got the ball right there. So I guess if you make it, it changes the game. Really hadn't thought about it.
Q. That call on offense, is that something that you would allow to be changed?
KIRK FERENTZ: Typically Greg calls the offense, Phil calls the defense. We just didn't get it done.
Q. Talk about the running game the last couple weeks. It's really seemed to struggle.
KIRK FERENTZ: Well, you've probably noticed we're not looking quite as same as we were a couple weeks ago. But the guys are working on it, they're trying. I think the defense has something to do with that, our personnel has something to do with that, but we're just not moving the ball, period, well enough, and like you said, a lot of things, but I think the biggest thing is the negative yardage plays. When you go backwards that affects your third downs a lot. I think we were literally 4 for 16, they were 9 of 16, so that's a big factor, those negative yardage plays, and some of those were runs didn't help us.
To hang our hat on the run right now, it's probably not going to be what we're going to do. I don't know that we can do that with a heavy percentage, but we still have to run the ball effectively if we're going to win.
Q. You had a first and goal at the 6-yard line. How critical was it you couldn't get a touchdown in that situation?
KIRK FERENTZ: I think if you look at it, we had five drives today offensively where we moved the ball, and in a couple of instances we moved the ball the length of the field and did a good job. But I think if it comes down to anything, certainly it goes back to the first week of the season. We had our time down in the red zone.
So yeah, if you can't come up with a touchdown there that impacts the game, and then certainly at the end of the game we had a fourth and three I believe it was, a very makable situation and we couldn't make that, not that it's a routine play or easy. But this time we drove the ball, too, but those two drives, not finishing those in a three-point ballgame were going to come up big.
Q. Talk about when you're on a streak like this, how do you manage the psyche of the team, keep players thinking positively?
KIRK FERENTZ: I mean, it's really simple; if you want to compete and if you want to be part of this, then you come back tomorrow really concerned about and interested in what can we do to improve, and that's each and every one of us, coaches, players. And if not, then maybe you need to do something else. But it's not like there are any options here right now. Nobody is going to throw us a life raft or anything like that. We need to take care of ourselves and try to do what we can to do better in all areas.
Q. Purdue had three turnovers and 10 penalties and still wins, you only have two penalties and no turnovers. Does that say more about you guys or more about Purdue?
KIRK FERENTZ: Well, the only thing I'll say again, me personally, I thought we lost the game in the first half the way we played. I really didn't spend much time peeking at the stats over the first half. But I just know this: We didn't play well enough to expect to beat them, and they did; to their credit, they did.
Q. On that fourth and three, is that a play where you maybe more expect everybody to get past the sticks so at least the throw is going to get there and get the first down?
KIRK FERENTZ: Well, yeah, either that or you hope the receiver has leverage on the defender where he can get it turned up, and it didn't work out that was.
Q. How would rate your tackling today?
KIRK FERENTZ: Poor. You were at the game, right? That was a big part of our problem today, and you can't play good defense if you don't tackle well, and I that was thought pretty evident today.
Q. You had two defenders that were out, Morris and Hitchens. What was the cause of that?
KIRK FERENTZ: Illness and a little bit of an injury and that type of thing. That's football, and I'm sure they've got guys out, too.
Q. Your offense, do you think it's easy to prepare for?
KIRK FERENTZ: Well, if we don't block better, throw better, run better routes and run better, that's the name of the game. It's execution, it's about playing well fundamentally, and that's kind of what I was trying to hint at, particularly in the first -- talking about our first half, we just weren't playing well enough. They weren't coached well enough, and that's fundamentals and didn't play hard enough to expect to win.
Q. Are you weighing most of that or all of that on execution?
KIRK FERENTZ: I'm always a big believer in execution, and it's -- I guess my vantage point on that one is it's easy, however many yards we had today weren't enough. That really doesn't explain the series where we did drive the ball, and we have driven the ball over the last several weeks but we haven't done it consistently enough. Part of that is your opponent. I'm not just going to put them up and knock them down like bowling pins; part of that is your opponent.
But also it's operating at the highest proficiency. Play calling has got something to do with everything, but I think our execution,
I'm going off 13 plus years here, that's typically what it usually comes down to after games, it's usually what it comes down to on Saturdays. When you start going back to early on in the season, that's what it down to usually is we didn't execute well, and that's kind of how I looked at this game.
Q. (Inaudible) couldn't stop the run but they stopped --
KIRK FERENTZ: They've got some big guys up there. They've got experienced guys. Both those guys inside, the state of Indiana is well represented. I don't know -- in fact I do know, Notre Dame has got good guys inside, too. We don't play them but I've seen them on film. But the two teams we've played have very stout and good football players in that defensive tackle slot. So I'd give them credit, I do give them credit, they played well.
We're not as stout right now as we've been in the past, so we'll just -- nobody is going to come in and -- we're not going to get any free agent players coming in this weekend. We're going to play with the guys that we have and try to get better, try to avoid some of those negative yardage plays and run routes better, catch better, throw it better and run the ball better, too.
Q. We knew this was a young team at the beginning of the year and some execution fundamental issues that you expected, but did you expect that that would still be a problem 10 weeks in?
KIRK FERENTZ: I would counter that and just tell you that I thought we played pretty good in our opening game of the Big Ten. I thought we played pretty well the next week, too, against a very good football team. It's not like this has just been a dog crap team. You don't want to paint that picture, I'm not buying that. We played good football against Minnesota, we played very good football at Michigan State in very tough circumstances.
And our guys competed in that second half. We were playing to win, and we gave ourselves a chance to win, but you've got to play both halves, and that's -- to me in a nutshell that's it.
Q. After those first two, Minnesota and Michigan State --
KIRK FERENTZ: You were paying attention, right? You're not serious, are you?
Q. Well, you're pointing back to the first two games, but you've lost four in a row. It seems like this team is going backwards.
KIRK FERENTZ: Yeah, it is, because we have not moved the ball the way we had, so I'll let you connect the dots on that one.
Q. Is the offense getting worse?
KIRK FERENTZ: Well, we've lost how many in a row, so what would that suggest? What I'm suggesting is we played pretty well against Minnesota and Michigan State, and we haven't played as well. We've had our chances to win the last couple weeks, but we weren't there. But today the first half we didn't give ourselves a chance. I'll sign on that one. I'll sign on that one.
Q. The fullback, on the 4th and 3, is that the primary read on that play?
KIRK FERENTZ: Most plays have a couple reads. There are plays where you just send two guys out or one guy out, like the one we threw it to the guy in the end zone, we had one eligible receiver on that play, but most plays that we run have at least three guys involved, and coverage dictates where the ball goes. That's usually how the passing game works, whether it be one guy out, two guys out, three or five. That's just the way it goes.
Q. You haven't been the same really since losing Brandon Scherff.
KIRK FERENTZ: It's not quite as simple as that I don't think. Brandon is a good football player, so any time you lose a good football player it impacts you. But good teams have to find a way to overcome that. You guys want to connect the dots, we haven't been good enough to overcome some of the injuries or obstacles, and that's the way it goes.
But we're ready to go back to work tomorrow and see what we can do to overcome some of those things. What we could have controlled today, we didn't play good in the first half, and they did.

SALEM - Salem's reigning state champion Anthony Shivers has his farthest discus toss yet - all the way to South Bend, Ind.
Shivers has verbally committed to accept a track scholarship from the University of Notre Dame. He will officially sign his letter of intent on Wednesday.
"It was one of the three choices between Notre Dame, Ohio State and Tennessee in the summer and it (Notre Dame) was one of the places I wanted to visit," Shivers said. "I was down to Ohio State and Notre Dame in December and I committed to Notre Dame in early January."
Many schools had their eye Shivers as he won the Division II state title in June with a school-record toss of 190-feet-7.
Shivers, who also was considering Tennessee, ended up accepting a half-scholarship from Notre Dame. Those kind of scholarships are hard to come by in college track and field.
"I visited there and had a great time. All of the people there, they had each others' back," Shivers said. "It was a great vibe and somewhere that I could see myself succeeding in track and academically as well as building connections that would last forever."
An avid Ohio State fan growing up, it was a difficult decision to choose against the school he had rooted for as a kid, but not one that he regrets.
"(At Notre Dame) they just seemed like they were more dedicated to what they were doing and I got a better feel from the coaches," Shivers said. "The athletes just seemed set on hard work and doing well and that's the environment that I want to put myself in."
Shivers, a devout Catholic, also said that the congruence with the faith in Catholicism was also important in what he saw at Notre Dame.
"It played a role," Shivers said. "It's nice to know that there will be a lot of catholic people there and a lot of people that share the same views that I do. "
Shivers plans to major in pre-med when he gets to campus on Aug. 27. And with an abundance of help around him, is anything but apprehensive in taking on college coursework and practice.
"They had good goals both in the classroom and track. They all want to do well," Shivers said. "Of course there are tutors and things to make sure that you're on top of your grades there."
With everything that Notre Dame has to offer: state of the art facilities, premier athletics, world renowned academics, and a family tie that link him to the Irish - Shivers' cousin recommended a visit to the school, his favorite detail was one that stands out to anyone who has ever stepped foot on campus in South Bend.
"The campus," Shivers said. "It's a beautiful campus and I just loved it."
Years ago if you would've asked the 6-foot-5, 200-pound Shivers if he would go to college on a track scholarship, the answer would likely have been a resounding "no."
Shivers took up track as a way to keep himself busy during the off-season and help keep him in shape for basketball. What he didn't anticipate was a love for a sport that would quickly grow into his new passion.
"I would have never guessed that," he said. "I was a big Ohio State fan for a long time and track was something I just started doing just to keep busy outside of basketball. I ended up falling in love with it and and realized I could go to the next level with it."
There is a lot of work for him to do in Salem before heading to Notre Dame.
Shivers is the second-leading scorer on the Salem basketball team. He is averaging 16.3 points per game as the Quakers are 12-3 on the season. And after basketball season is over, he will be getting ready to defend his state discus title.
"I'm still lifting a few times a week," Shivers said. "I also practice my footwork so that stays fresh."
He is Salem's only state discus champion since 1931.
"I personally want to become a better shot putter," he said. "That's been a weaker area of my throwing. I know I need to get stronger."

Expecting #4... We've not told many people yet, but already the comments are starting. Here are a few things I suggest people should not say to an expectant mamma...
"I thought you were done!" (Just because you happen to be done after 2 kids doesn't mean I have to be done too!)
"There are ways to prevent that." (though said in a joking manner, I still think this is rude)
"You'd better stop after this one!" (um... yeah... because you say so.)
and my personal favorite, "Was this planned?" (what business is it of yours if it was planned or not?)
grrrr... I don't get offended easily... but this just really bugs! And I know once we tell everyone else, I'm going to hear even more comments like this.
People really need to stop and think before they blurt out stupid questions and comments. What is wrong with a simple, "congratulations!"

I installed a hitch and bike rack to my van, and the bike rack install was fairly straightforward. The installation can be a little tough because it is quite heavy and the rubber straps are tough to pull/stretch. My socket wrench also was a little shallow for the installation of the top plate, so I had to get a deeper one. This all means the product is solid. While it's a little too heavy for many people to slip it on and off often, it means the rack is quite strong.

The CEOs from Roche and Sanofi joined Novartis in raising the presence of non-U.S. companies on the list this year. [© Tijana - Fotolia.com]
Following is a list of 15 current or former biopharma CEOs who led their companies for at least part of 2012, ranked by their "total compensation" last year. Total compensation goes beyond salary, to include bonuses, stock awards, stock option awards, nonequity incentive plan compensation, and all other sources of compensation. For each CEO ranked, the list offers 2012 and 2011 compensation, the percentage change between the amounts, and their position, if ranked, on last year's What the Top 10 Biopharma CEOs Are Making list, published by GEN on July 24, 2012.
This year's list saw two key changes: One is that this year's rankings are of individuals rather than companies, since two of last year's Top 10 companies had more than one CEO during 2012. And the List has expanded to a Top 15, to ensure inclusion of all four CEOs with compensation in the $13.5 million range, rather than just one, and to better illustrate the spread beyond U.S. big pharma of compensation packages at or close to the eight-figure range.
As a result, this year the CEOs from Roche and Sanofi joined Novartis in raising the presence of non-U.S. companies on the list. The other CEOs listed head U.S.-based companies, which traditionally have paid their top executives much more than their counterparts at European and Japanese biopharmas, most of whom were paid in the seven-figure range. The highest compensation was paid this year not only by U.S.-based pharma giants, but by fast-growing U.S. biotechs as well.
Not listed this year are salaries of CEOs from two companies with significant medical device as well as drug development operations: According to their companies' proxy filings with the SEC, Baxter International Chairman and CEO Robert L. Parkinson finished 2012 with $17,521,770 in total compensation, up 24.6% from the previous year. And David E.I. Pyott, Allergan's chairman, president and CEO, received $21,164,198 last year, up 51.4% from his 2011 compensation.
