Over 40% of senior business executives are looking to suppliers and external parties to co-develop and deliver measureable business outcomes. Telling suppliers to forget their old pricing metrics and focus instead in delivering value while also sharing risks and rewards requires a new set of skills on both sides of the negotiating table. This is a real challenge for both suppliers and buyers, and it takes both parties out of their comfort zones into new territory for risk management, project control and revenue sharing.
Forrester's Forrsights data reveals business executives want to see more value delivered from IT projects and more outcome-based contracts. This is a priority for them in the next few years and sourcing professionals must develop and enhance their skills in this key area or risk getting left behind.
Whether it's increasing revenues, driving more client subscriptions, cutting costs, facilitating more paperwork processing in less time or driving up customer satisfaction and retention, some IT companies are now offering outcome based contracts and are happy to be paid purely on the results.
Unfortunately for some of today's technology giants, clients don't want to pay anymore for software licenses, hardware products or time & materials staffing. They want the suppliers to have 'skin in the game' and want to pay based only on the value delivered and the outcome achieved.
To help their organizations navigate through the emerging world of business outcome based contracts, we have identified three key principals of change that both suppliers and buyers will need to address:
1. Sourcing needs to change the way it buys. Procurement will have to become less adversarial and less focused on squeezing supplier's margins. Buying will become a collaborative process where the role of sourcing is one where its prime objective is to work closely with suppliers to help their organization not only save money but to also make money too.
2. Suppliers need to change the way they sell. Suppliers will have to forget their traditional price book and come to client meetings with value propositions that live or die based on delivering real, measureable business outcomes. Suppliers will share the risks and the rewards of the project and will need to align themselves with the clients longer term goals and aspirations; not their own short term profit realization.
3. Both parties need to get a grip on new metrics. Sourcing activity needs to be measured and targeted in a different way; no longer will cost savings be the most important factor as delivering outcomes becomes the key driver. And suppliers will be paid based not on what products they sell but on what value they deliver to their client.
Thoughts? Experiences? We would love to hear from you.
I'll be speaking about this topic at our upcoming Forrester Forums on May 6-7 in Washington, DC and on June 10-11 in London, UK.

There are two aspects that you have mentioned. Price for the service delivered and Value from the service. The first aspect price for the service delivered is evolving from time and material based to an output based where output is defined technically in terms of milestone mirroring a stage in technical service progression which essentially is nothing but moving up the value chain kind of in the area of pricing.
The second aspect value derived from the services is more tricky and difficult to quantify and hence measure because there are multiple factors that will govern the value. It is in this aspect that a great deal of effort will be required from both buyer and supplier side to arrive at consensus about the value expected from the services and right metrics to mesure the same.
Easier said than done
Comment from Yatin Ubhaykar (not verified) on Sat, 04/13/2013 - 18:13
TRUST - is the central theme to make this happen. Most suppliers and buyers will agree this as the way ahead.
In any sourcing contract, while both parties usually want to squeeze the other and get the best deal, I wonder how to make outcome based contracts happen? Risk management, project control may lead to several caveats,rules of engagement which may only complicate things, than make the contract simple. But probably that's the only option.
Value is still subjective
Comment from Chirag Dave (not verified) on Thu, 04/18/2013 - 09:17
Value is still subjective term, utlitmately it will translate into numbers even if it has to based on "value based" pricing. If it gets translated to numbers ($$) than all metrics vanish and real buyer and seller minds play the game. Afterall IT services is any kind of service - sold puerly based on service type, service need, service volume. However claim IT can make to simplify or automate business, eventually it will be measured from all aspects of cost, ofcourse it enables better experience and quick expansions but still at sizable costs - how do you balance this - is the value.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX little changed as U.S. data renews Fed fears
TORONTO, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index was little changed on Monday as Friday's robust U.S. jobs report revived concerns that the U.S. Federal Reserve might begin to pull back from its easy monetary policy sooner than expected. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 4.52 points, or 0.03 percent, at 13,373.81 shortly after the open.

Taking Cosmic Rays for a spin
First, the particles observed in these experiments are orders of magnitude too small to be Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN). In the press release, this is why they talk about the 'building blocks' of CCN, however, aggrandisation of these small particles is in no sense guaranteed (Missing step #1). Secondly, the focus is on low clouds over the ocean. However, over the ocean, there are huge numbers of condensation nuclei related to sea salt particles. Thus to show that the cosmic ray mechanism is important, you need to show that it increases CCN even in the presence of lots of other CCN (Missing step #2). Next, even if more CCN were made, you would need to show that this actually changed cloud cover (or optical thickness etc.) (Missing step #3). And given that change in cloud properties, you would need to show that it had a significant effect on radiative forcing – which despite their hand waving, is not at all well quantified (even the sign!) (Missing step #4). Finally, to show that cosmic rays were actually responsible for some part of the recent warming you would need to show that there was actually a decreasing trend in cosmic rays over recent decades – which is tricky, because there hasn't been (see the figure) (Missing step #5). All of this will require significant work and there are certainly no guarantees that all the steps can be verified (which they have been for the greenhouse gas hypothesis) – especially the last! However, they would seem essential to justifying the claims in the press releases.
Will these results be a spur to future research? Possibly. But the ridiculous spin put on this paper is liable to continue to put off mainstream scientists from pursuing it. It's as though Svensmark and co. want to enhance the field of solar-terrestrial research's bad reputation for agenda-driven science.
Unsurprisingly, this paper was trumpeted throughout contrarian circles last week and was received uncritically (with one honorable exception in the 'climatesceptics' discussion group), even by people who normally spend their time decrying science-by-press-release. (A word to the wise, consistency goes a long way to establishing credibility…).
At RealClimate, we've often criticised press releases that we felt gave misleading impressions of the underlying work and lead to confused, and sometimes erroneous, headlines, but this example is by far the most blatant extrapolation-beyond-reasonableness that we've seen. If this group wants to be taken seriously and interact constructively with the rest of the community (which is the only way the 'missing steps' will get sufficient attention), they have to act in a serious manner, be honest about the problems and caveats, and resist the temptation to speculate beyond what is justified. The kind of antics seen in this case may play well for the peanut gallery, but they won't impress the critics.

Mumbai: there is no doubt about it, the most famous and well liked lady of the hour in Bollywood is none other the actress Sonakshi Sinha, who apparently has managed to beat Katrina Kapoor in terms of popularity. Until now, the hottest celebrity in tinsel town was Kat, who managed to win the hearts of everyone due to her performance in Tess Maar Khan.
But now, is Sonakshi the one to enjoy the popularity thanks to her film Dabang where she starred opposite Salman Khan. From what we have heard, she is not only desired by film producers, but also by famous brands to make her their products' promoter. In fact she replaced Kat as the spoke person of Dyna soap. As for the rumors of the misunderstandings between her and Katrina Kaif, Sonakshi wanted to set the records straight by saying the rumors are completely fabricated.
All seems to be working out quite well for the young celebrity, but we can't help to wonder what will happen when a new face will conquer Bollywood.

More than 350 individuals and couples have raised at least $55.5 million for President Obama's re-election, according to a list of elite fundraisers just released by his campaign.
That's more than a third of the money Obama has collected for his campaign and the Democratic National Committee this year, demonstrating the president's ability to draw cash from wealthy Americans who can write big checks.
STORY: Obama's campaign haul
BLOG: Romney's fundraising
The campaign money raised by these top fundraisers, which include Vogue's Anna Wintour and film mogul Harvey Weinstein, could be even higher. Obama reported the amounts they have raised only in broad ranges. Forty-one individuals and couples, for instance, are listed as collecting at least $500,000 each.
At least two of Obama's bundlers, George Washington University law professor Spencer Overton and New York financier Blair Effron, were among the guests invited to Thursday night's star-studded state dinner at the White House honoring South Korean President Lee Myung Bak.
Obama's bundlers list during the July-to-September fundraising quarter has grown, up from 244 individuals and couples during the previous fundraising period. The president's campaign voluntarily releases its list of fundraisers; none of his Republicans rivals has done so to date.

Osteonecrosis is a disabling condition in which blood supply to the bone is cut off. This can cause the hip joint to collapse. Osteonecrosis can be caused by disease or a severe trauma, such as a break or dislocation, that affects the blood supply to the bone. Many times, no trauma or disease is present. This is called "idiopathic osteonecrosis" - meaning it occurs without any known cause.
The following can cause osteonecrosis:
Some diseases that may be associated with the development of this condition include:
Diagnosis and Treatment
Osteonecrosis (O.N.) is a disease that typically affects adults between the ages of 20-50 years old.
During an exam, it is necessary to flex and rotate the hips to check for pain. Hips may be x-rayed and possibly scanned by MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to see if bone marrow is dying or dead and how much the head of the femur may have collapsed.
If O.N. is present and the head of the femur is not yet collapsed, certain medical procedures (decompression and bone grafting) may help the body build new blood vessels and bone cells to replace the dead ones.
If O.N. has already collapsed the hip, total hip replacement surgery (arthroplasty) may eliminate the pain and improve hip mobility. A ball and socket replaces the hip joint. The thighbone is fitted with the ball piece, which takes the place of the head of the femur. The hip socket is fitted with the socket piece (cup).
The Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute can help you explore your treatment options for osteonecrosis.
Total knee, hip, and shoulder replacement surgery, as well as other surgical and non-surgical treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis of the joints.

I have had the Damon braces fitted top and bottom to help straighten a couple of teeth and to correct my bite.
- Primrose Mary
- Last updated: 3 years ago
I had continual headaches until I had them fitted 5 weeks ago. The dentist "built up" two on my lower teeth - one on each side to stop the bite, I also wear a retainer at night to stop the bite together even more. I have had no headaches in these 5 weeks which is wonderful but my lower teeth hurt where they are built up and I cannot break down any food. Anyone any ideas how long this aching with last? I am 50 and was nervous at my age to have braces but will all be worth it in the end

Born in Warrington, Cheshire, Katona is of part Hungarian ancestry.[citation needed] As a child she was placed in care and brought up by four sets of foster parents and attended eight different schools.[3] She left school at sixteen to become a lap dancer, then joined a dance troupe that toured Europe.[4]
In 1999, 18-year-old Katona rose to fame as a member of Atomic Kitten, an all-female pop trio created by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark frontman Andy McCluskey. The other original members were Natasha Hamilton and Liz McClarnon. Their debut single, "Right Now", was released in late November 1999 and reached #10 on the UK Singles Chart. Their second single, "See Ya", followed in March 2000 and was an even bigger success, reaching #6.[5] Following this initial success, Atomic Kitten performed an Asian tour and scored their first #1 hit there with "Cradle". The album, Right Now, was first released in Japan on 16 March 2000, and subsequently released in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2000 following the release of two further singles, "I Want Your Love" and "Follow Me", with a slightly modified track list. In 2000, the group also recorded a cover version of "The Locomotion" for the movie Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
Right Now was unsuccessful upon its first release, peaking at only #39 in the UK album chart.[5] Initially, there were no plans to focus on the global market and Atomic Kitten's record label, Innocent Records, was even considering dropping them because of their limited success. However, the record company were persuaded to allow the group to release one more single from the album.[6] That single, "Whole Again", became their first #1 hit in the United Kingdom and stayed at the top for 4 consecutive weeks.[5] Due to this success, "Whole Again" was released globally and reached #1 in 18 other countries, including 6 weeks in Germany and New Zealand.[7] The song and video for "Whole Again" originally featured Kerry Katona but she left the group several days before the single's release because she was pregnant.[8] Former Precious singer Jenny Frost replaced Katona in the lineup and the single was re-recorded.
After marrying Brian McFadden and taking his surname, Katona moved into television work, appearing on and presenting a mix of light-entertainment programmes such as Britain's Sexiest..., Loose Women, and elimiDATE. She appeared on Lily Savage's Blankety Blank in 2001.[9] In February 2004, she won the third series of the British reality TV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. That July, she and McFadden appeared as judges on the RTÉ talent show You're a Star, which was used to select the Republic of Ireland's Eurovision Song Contest entry. On separating from McFadden in September 2004 she reverted to her maiden name.
In July 2005 Katona starred in My Fair Kerry on ITV, where she was taught airs and graces to transform herself from ladette to lady. She also starred in an Irish drama called Showbands that year.[10]
Between 2007 and 2009, Katona was the subject of three MTV reality shows: Kerry Katona: Crazy in Love, Kerry Katona: Whole Again, and Kerry Katona: What's the Problem? From a peak audience of 500,000 for Kerry Katona: Crazy in Love, viewership for Kerry Katona: What's the Problem?, a series about Katona's bipolar disorder, slumped to just 19,000 and MTV dropped her in August 2009.
In late 2009, Katona attempted to become a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother 2010 but was rejected by the show's executives after she failed the required psychological tests.[11]
Katona's latest reality show Kerry Coming Clean aired on 24 June 2010. Katona has been banned from using drugs or reuniting with Mark Croft as a part of her contract with management team Can Associates.[12] The documentary covers the tribulations of Katona's separation from Croft and signing with Peter Andre's management company Can Associates. Katona also featured in two series of Kerry Katona: The Next Chapter. Katona was a contestant on Dancing on Ice Series 6 with English ice skater Daniel Whiston. They were eliminated in week 5 in a skate-off against Jeff Brazier and partner Isabelle Gauthier.
Katona was the first housemate to enter the Big Brother House for the 2011 series of Celebrity Big Brother alongside Amy Childs and Tara Reid and others. She was voted the runner-up in the final after Paddy Doherty on 8 September 2011.
In March 2012, Hamilton confirmed that the group were reuniting for a summer tour, including a performance at Diamond Jubilee Concert. Hamilton also stated that the group were in talks to star in their own reality TV show regarding the comeback, following on the success of the 2011 Steps reunion and reality show.[13] Hamilton stated that she hoped former member, Kerry Katona, who quit the trio in 2001 before they found chart success, would join them on stage for a performance. The reunion was later dismissed by all three members due to the fight between Katona and Frost. In June 2012 Katona performed at Birmingham's Gay Pride singing some of her Atomic Kitten hits including Whole Again and Right Now. It was the first time in over 11 years that Katona performed.
However, it was announced on 18 October that the original members of Atomic Kitten would reunite for an ITV2 series along with other pop groups of their era, including B*Witched, Five, Liberty X and 911.[14][15] Natasha Hamilton tweeted to a fan that the reason Frost was not involved was that she was expecting twins, but she would be welcome to rejoin the group whenever she was ready.[citation needed]
On 20 November, the girls were spotted leaving a recording studio together. The Daily Mail reported that they were seen filming their reformation for The Big Reunion.[2] Katona later confirmed on 21 November in an interview on This Morning that she had rejoined the group and replaced Frost. On 19 December 2012 Katona appeared on The Jeremy Kyle Show talking about her drug issues.
Other projects[edit]
Formerly represented by publicist Max Clifford, with whom she parted by mutual agreement in October 2008,[16] Katona has had endorsement deals with Iceland and Asda supermarkets. On 17 August 2009, Iceland released Katona from her £290,000 contract. The company stated that it was "impossible" to continue featuring Katona in its advertising campaigns after photographs appeared in the News of the World tabloid, allegedly showing her taking cocaine in the bathroom of her home.[17]
Katona has released an autobiography, Kerry Katona: Too Much, Too Young; a self-help book, Survive the Worst and Aim for the Best: How to Get Your Life Back on Track; and three novels, Tough Love, The Footballer's Wife, and Glamour Girl. All of her books have been ghostwritten. Until 2008, she wrote a regular column for OK! Magazine. Then again until December 2012. On 11 May 2016 Katona rejoined the panel of Loose Women since leaving the series in 2004.
In January 2013 Katona has had an endorsement deal with CashLady [18] promoting short term loans. The relationship was ended in July 2013.
Katona is a patron of The Shannon Bradshaw Trust,[19] a Warrington-based charity which helps children with life-threatening conditions and their families.
In March 2016 Katona launched an online bingo site called Bingo With Kerry. In May 2016 the site won 'New Site of the Year' at the WhichBingo Awards.[20]
Personal life[edit]
Katona has five children from three marriages.
On 31 August 2001, Katona gave birth to Molly Marie McFadden, daughter of former Westlife star Brian McFadden. On 5 January 2002, the couple married at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Rathfeigh, County Meath, Republic of Ireland, with Katona's former Atomic Kitten colleague Natasha Hamilton as bridesmaid.[21] The couple honeymooned in Mauritius. Their second daughter, Lilly-Sue, was born on 3 February 2003.[citation needed] McFadden filed for divorce from Katona in September 2004 and was separated for two years, until their divorce was finalised in December 2006.[citation needed]
On 14 February 2007 Katona married taxi driver Mark Croft in a private ceremony in Gretna Green with two friends as witnesses.[22] Six days later, on 20 February 2007, the couple's daughter Heidi Elizabeth Croft was delivered by Caesarean section at Macclesfield General Hospital. Six weeks premature, Heidi weighed 5 lb (2.3 kg).[23] Katona announced in late September 2007 that she was expecting her fourth child, her second with Croft. At one point, she feared that she had suffered a miscarriage[24] but further examination found the foetus was still alive, and due in May 2008.[25] On 30 December 2007 she announced that her fourth child would be a boy named Maxwell Mark, after Max Clifford and her husband Mark. Five weeks before the due date, she gave birth to a 5 lb 4 oz (2,400 g) baby on 11 April 2008, at 5.42 pm after 2 days of labour.[26] On 13 March 2009, Katona's financial advisor Frank Cochran[27] read a statement to the media stating that Katona and Croft had decided to divorce.[28][29] After a reconciliation, Katona and Croft divorced in 2011.
On 12 September 2013, Katona announced her fifth pregnancy.[30] On 4 April 2014, Katona gave birth to her first child with fiancé George Kay, a girl named Dylan-Jorge Rose.[3] Katona and Kay married on 14 September 2014 at Tortworth Court Hotel in Gloucestershire.[31]
Katona ended her 13-month marriage to George in October 2015 following his arrest for alleged assault in their home.[32] They reconciled a year later.[33]
Legal issues[edit]
On 15 July 2007, Katona, Croft, and their young daughter Heidi were held hostage at their £1.5 million home in Wilmslow, Cheshire. They reported that three men forcibly entered their home, one of them holding Katona at knife-point while the others forced Croft to show them where valuables were kept.[34] Nobody was physically harmed, but the men left with a blue BMW and other valuables with an estimated total value between £100,000 – £150,000.[35][36] On 19 July 2007, police found the undamaged car 10 miles away on Reeves Road in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester. That same day, Katona was admitted to The Priory hospital[37] suffering from bipolar disorder. Her publicist, Max Clifford, claimed she had suffered from the disorder for some time, but the trauma had aggravated her symptoms.
On 21 August 2008, Katona was declared bankrupt at the High Court in London after failing to pay the final £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill.[38][39] After losing her Iceland contract, her magazine column, and her MTV shows, Katona suffered further financial setbacks. In December 2009, she received a repossession order on her £1.5 million home, having not paid her mortgage in months.[40]
On 27 August 2009, it was reported that Katona was under investigation by Cheshire Police after allegations she had assaulted her accountant, and for criminal damage and a public order offence. After being arrested and questioned,[41] she was released without being charged.[42]
On 2 July 2013, Katona filed for bankruptcy at Wigan County Court.[43]

Salmon with Escarole and Lemon
Escarole has a slight, pleasant bitterness balanced by a sweetness. It turns mild, even sweeter, and surprisingly buttery when cooked.
- Prep:
- Total Time:

Source: Everyday Food, January/February 2009
- 2 lemons
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 heads escarole (2 pounds total), cored, trimmed, and coarsely chopped
- 4 boneless, skinless salmon fillets, (6 ounces each)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
Thinly slice off both ends of one lemon. Cut into 8 thin slices. From remaining lemon, squeeze 1 to 2 tablespoons juice into a bowl.
In a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir in escarole and 1/2 cup water. Arrange salmon on top; season with salt and pepper. Place 2 lemon slices on each fillet. Cover, and cook until salmon is opaque throughout, 12 to 14 minutes.
Transfer salmon to a plate. Stir lemon juice into escarole mixture. Serve salmon with escarole.

Colleges and Social Media
"For universities competing to attract top students, it's no longer enough to have a glossy brochure and a sleek website. Schools like Johns Hopkins are reaching out to engage with applicants on Facebook and Twitter. They're also finding that a robust social media campaign, along with such creative features as student-run blogs, can lure prospective students while a stale online presence can turn them off. College admissions officers are indeed learning to interact with students where they hang out: online. According to a recent study by the Center for Marketing Research at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, 100% of universities surveyed use social media to communicate with students, up from 61% in 2007-08. The study found that 98% of the responding colleges have a Facebook page and 84% have a Twitter account.
Here is a list of the Top 100 Social Media Colleges . This is an effective way to learn about schools through student user generated content.

KVOR's Warren: "[A]ll you college dropouts at Colorado Media Matters, if I get this wrong, forgive me"
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
While complaining to a caller about the cost of vehicle registration in Colorado on the July 2 broadcast of News Radio 740 KVOR's Afternoon Show, host Seth Warren referred to members of the Colorado Media Matters staff as "college dropouts."
From the July 2 broadcast of News Radio 740 KVOR's Afternoon Show (Live & Local):
CALLER: They've raised taxes for the roads, and for the upkeep of the roads, and expansion of I-25, but we haven't gotten anywhere faster. They started taxing our water and our rain -- next they're going to start taxing our sunshine, our wind, and the air we breathe. And, if you really complain about the roads enough, I'm pretty sure they'd have the police officers hand out more tickets --
WARREN: Well, here's, here's the --
CALLER: -- to raise some money.
WARREN: No. Yeah. No, that's gonna -- yeah, I don't know if they could hand out any more than they already do with the speed traps all over Colorado Springs. But --
CALLER: Yeah.
WARREN: -- here's, here's the other thing, and this is kind of taking it in another direction, [caller], and while we're kind of venting about things that are frustrating us, I've got to renew my license on my truck. Now, when I lived in New Mexico -- I, I'm just paraphrasing, so, you know, all you college dropouts at Colorado Media Matters, if I get this wrong, forgive me, I'm paraphrasing -- it was like 72 dollars for two years to do my, my registration for my, my vehicle in New Mexico, when I lived there. And I, and I don't miss New Mexico. I love Colorado. I'm never, I'm -- I live here now. I'm gonna die here hope -- well, hopefully later down the road. But I love Colorado; that's the point. I, I'm not unhappy with it. But you know what it is to register a vehicle in, in Colorado? It's, it's the highest that I've ever seen. I know there's states back East that charge you an arm and a leg.
Colorado Media Matters staff members' biographies are available on the organization's website.
On June 21, Colorado Media Matters noted Warren's baseless assertion that the rise in armed robberies in Colorado Springs was "tied to the fact that we now have so many more illegal aliens, or illegal immigrants in our community." In delivering his assessment, Warren did not disclose a statement from El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa about the rise in crime in the county -- which includes Colorado Springs -- concluding that the diversion of local law enforcement resources was a primary factor contributing to the rise in robberies, and that "illegal immigration" was one of several drains on resources.

There were great advantages to growing up in Canada. I grew up as an observer. It's like being at a party and not knowing anyone and standing at the bar and watching the whole thing unfold. You have a much better sense of what's going on than the person who's having a great time dancing on the tables.
Until recently I used to wash my hair with dishwashing liquid. Only in the past four years have I discovered conditioner. So I'm not the one to talk about hair care tips.
Magazines need to follow the story of the age. And this war in Iraq - I hope it's not the story of our age, but right now it's the story of our time.
I've never voted and I never bought stock. I decided I'd never align myself with any party or buy stocks in companies we might cover. However, this Tuesday I'll be voting.
In a perfect world, I wouldn't have celebrities on the cover of Vanity Fair. But we have to sell 400,000 to 600,000 magazines off newsstands every month and, unfortunately, attractive people sell better than unattractive people. And there are more attractive people in the movie business than in, say, the magazine business.
Stationery is addictive. I get mine made in Paris at Benetton, and writing on it gives me a strange thrill.
When I started writing editorials against the Bush administration, the mail against me ran three to one.
If I were writing the same thing in a left-wing magazine, I'd be preaching to the converted. An editor should go by his gut. We don't do any reader research on Vanity Fair. I've been an editor for 25 years and I've never asked readers what they want.
As you get older and fatter, good clothes can hide a lot.
Hints for hosting the most desirable party in the world? Two stiff drinks before everyone arrives and then pace yourself.
In any conflict between advertisers and readers, the reader always wins. Always.
In Britain, libel damages are small and people build them into the cost of doing business. In America, libel is very rare and much harder to prove, but the damages are enormous. That's why we have upwards of 50 fact checkers on the magazine.
I go home every day at 5.30. I always have, ever since I had children. I haven't worked more than 15 nights past seven o'clock in the last 18 years.
You can only edit a magazine like Spy when you're young. When you're in your forties raising a family and trying to earn enough money to pay for all of that, if you're still angry then, you need a psychiatrist more than a satirical magazine.
Every minute you invest in kids you get back four times over.
I don't feel any need to be harder on the celebrities we interview. They're the only stories that we invite in, and if you invite someone into your house, you don't treat them rudely. Why waste your energy on that? There are bigger targets than some poor actor or actress.
It's not true that there are no second acts in American lives. Americans love people who had success and fell and got a second act. America is a nation of second acts. And third acts.
I'd have a post-Oscar party three times the size if it were up to me. I just can't say no. My staff has to keep the guest list away from me.
I never wanted to be a journalist. I arrived in New York wanting to be a playwright or a painter but I had to make a living, so I went to work for Time magazine. Now I can't imagine not tearing things out of newspapers and calling someone the next day. I literally cannot imagine life without being an editor.

UPDATE 2-Entergy sees Q2 profit below Street, cuts '09 view
* Sees Q2 operational EPS about $1.22 * Cuts FY operational EPS view range by 50 cents * Shares down as much as 2 pct (Recasts; adds details, analyst comments, updates share movement)
BANGALORE, July 20 (Reuters) - Entergy Corp (ETR.N: Cotización) forecast second-quarter operational profit below analysts' expectations, hurt mainly by additional outages at its nuclear unit.
Planned refueling outage totaled 78 days in the second quarter, compared with 19 refueling outage days a year ago at Entergy Nuclear, the company said.
"This is a tough way to start second-quarter earnings for the power stocks, which we already thought were going to be rocky due to weak demand and lower power prices," Credit Suisse analyst Dan Eggers said.
The energy company also lowered its full-year profit outlook, citing declining power prices and additional charges related to nuclear decommissioning trust funds.
Decommissioning funds are required by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to cover the anticipated costs of taking plants out of service and eventually razing them.
Credit Suisse's Eggers reduced his 2009 earnings view on the company by 29 cents to $6.42 a share, saying the cut took into account the expected second-quarter results, but left his outlook for the second-half of the year unchanged.
"The only source of comfort is that some of Entergy's problems -- decommissioning trust and nuclear outages -- are issues unique to its second quarter," he said.
Though the analyst expects some pressure on the company's stock following the outlook cut, he said the value proposition in its shares did not solely hinge on 2009 earnings. Continuación...

Slater axing has fans all at sea
Page Tools
Queensland has turned on itself. The most parochial state in the nation is angry at the selectors of its favourite sporting team for its latest disloyalty: omitting Billy Slater for the third and deciding State of Origin match tomorrow night in Brisbane.
Slater is loved in Queensland - a natural-born thriller with enough wattage in his smile to relieve Brisbane's overworked power grid. His sacking has prompted many Queenslanders to boycott the game and Innisfail, Slater's home town, to threaten to turn off their TV sets.
"The reaction has been hostile in some quarters," said former Queensland coach and halfback Mark Murray. The symbiosis between state and team has never been this sour.
Former Broncos and NSW player Chris Johns, now operating a Brisbane car wash, has an annual bet for a case of beer on the series with a Maroons-loving mate. A few days ago, Johns received a phone call telling him to collect his beer.
"But it's one-all," Johns protested, his bewilderment at the surrender eclipsing his delight for receiving free beer. The friend was adamant, saying: "I won't even be watching. They've lost me when they dropped one of the most exciting players in the game."
Slater's relegation surprised the NSW camp, which looked shocked and relieved all at once, akin to a gunfighter who had just been told Billy the Kid had called in sick for the noon showdown.
Slater's three tries against Souths raised the question whether any Queensland selector had actually watched the match, played 36 hours before they convened, or showed any remorse when he followed up with two tries against the Bulldogs on Saturday night.
Slater is a rare talent whose acrobatics, athleticism and speed confuse opponents and thrill crowds as if they were at the circus. So why did Queensland's experienced judges ground their high-wire act? North Queensland coach Graham Murray, whose fullback, Matt Bowen, replaced Slater, said: "They couldn't afford them both. Either way, one of them was going to be unlucky."
Asked whether Bowen's combination with other Cowboys in the Maroons, such as half Johnathan Thurston and wingers Matt Sing and Ty Williams, was the deciding factor, Murray said: "I think so. Plus Bowen can also play first or second receiver which gives Thurston and [five-eighth] Darren Lockyer the comfort they can run and someone else will take their place. I don't think Lockyer ran enough in Origin II."
The bottom line is: Queensland have been searching for a foil for Thurston-Lockyer since Canberra's Jason Smith turned down their request for him to make an Origin comeback.
But rather than bring in a fullback to fulfil this role, they should have selected one of their best players from last year's series - half Scott Prince, who has been in brilliant form with Wests Tigers.
The Cowboys coach also said Slater didn't have a kicking game, "whereas Bowen can come in late in the tackle count and take the pressure off the kickers".
Queensland's defence also needs strengthening wide of the ruck, covering Thurston and Lockyer who are on opposite sides.
The Maroons' desperation to bring back Tonie Carroll, equally adept at defending on the left and right, is based on the need to take the pressure off the halves in defence, freeing them to be more energetic in attack.
He will stand beside one half, with Bowen, who has also been involved in Origin football longer than Slater, supporting the other.
Bowen's inclusion also gives Queensland four Cowboys to exploit the inside pass - a great weapon when it is a sleight-of-hand for the slight-of-size. However, NSW selectors, before Origin I, anticipated this, choosing mobile back-rowers to cover it.
Slater's anticipation is the best in the NRL and he has made an art form of running off inside passes. OK, he is error-prone, an inevitability with players who tread the fine line between creative abandon and recklessness, and he was quiet after being dumped by NSW's Nathan Hindmarsh in Origin III last year.
But with Slater's omission making NSW delighted and Queensland depressed, long-term Brisbane resident Johns wonders whether the exercise is designed to make the Blues overconfident.
"Every time I hear someone say Queensland are crazy for dropping Slater, I remind myself this is what they want you to think," he said.

The Augen Gentouch started as a mystery tablet that was appeared in a Kmart circular in the week of 7/25/10.
The Gentouch specifications were kept secret until today(7/26/10) When the Augen official website became online. Gentouch Site.
The device features a very thin tablet screen(thinner than Pandigital Noval) and 720P video playback. During the first week of the device many stores did not have it in stock.
Augen GenTouch78 Wiki is now on Twitter @GTwiki. Now you won't have to keep checking the wiki everyday for updates. Just follow the Augen GenTouch78 Wiki on Twitter for the latest info.
Terracode Written Review-Very nicely written
Taking the Gentouch Apart-Internal Electronics
Some of these problems can be fixed with future firmware updates/patch files. Please look further down the wiki for more info.
Augen had not planned to release this device until September. They thought they would have over a month to work on them before they shipped to Kmart. Then they were told Kmart printed the ad, and wanted them on the shelves now. So they rushed them out.
One would say, well why rush them out, just tell Kmart to retract the ad, etc. Then you think that this is a small company that has only been around 6 years. This is probably one of their big breaks, and they got pushed into doing as Kmart wanted.
From those I have spoke with, they are working daily to get the updates out. They seem to be testing, and making sure what they release is solid. If when the update comes out, and for the most part is stable, I will believe then that this company has true aspirations of having a usable Android tablet on the market for a great price.
(Thanks to cpg716 for pointing this out)
Dear Kmart Shoppers, Thank you for showing your support and interest in our GENTOUCH78 Tablet. We became aware of the technical difficulties over the past 24 hours, and we will be posting an update for a patch to the software at the following link: http://augen.helpserve.com/ under latest download files within the next 48 hours.
Just to mention a few technical difficulties we have found and are patching are:
the memory size of 284mb not being shown as 2GB will be corrected as this is a glitch in the software.
Android Market place not being able to download apps will be fixed in this patch, as this is a glitch in the software. As of right now the operating system and pre-loaded applications are using .5 Gb so the available space displayed should be approximately 1.5GB.
To solve the issue with the headphone jack being to small for a 3.5 mm headphone connection, we ask you to send us an email to email@example.com with your Name, Adress, eMail Adress along with a proof of purchase. We will be sending you at our expense the 2.5 mm headphones to go along with the unit within 15-20 days.
Thank you for your support,
Daniel Gofman Vice President Augen Electronics Corp.
Dear Augen Customers (Gen Nation),
We are aggressively working on the patch to address the identified issues. We can assure you that the patch will be available shortly. However, we did supply you with instructions on how to install the USB drivers for the Windows Operating System ( no drivers are required for MAC OS). These drivers will allow the GENTOUCH78 to connect and be recognized by your desktop/laptop using the Windows Operating System. In addition we recently made available a walk through on how to view and use your micro SD card for the device, which we have become aware there has been some confusion. You can find these updates at the following link: http://augen.helpserve.com/ under latest download files. We want to make it a great experience for our customers. We apologize for disappointing some of you, and we are doing our best to make it a great experience at Augen.
Thank you for your support,
Daniel Gofman Vice President Augen Electronics Corp.
The new Patch due by the end of the week of August 8 will fix the following things:
Edit(8/11/10)The New update will be released August 20. Once again delayed because of the Google License Problem.
Edit (8/17/10) Augen has informed a user via their support chat that the upcoming 8/20 patch will only fix the Factory default setting problem however it might also fix the following features(slight chance)
This is Augen's response to the Google pirated platform:
Augen Electronics Corp., an innovator of tablet pc's, netbooks, and eReaders, would like to deliver the following statement to address the circulating media gossip regarding Augen's preloaded apps.
On July, 29 2010 Augen had a constructive conversation with Google Inc. The topic of the discussion was Google's Application Suite. As you know, Google Inc. has released the source code for the entire Android platform under the flexible and commercial-friendly Apache 2.0 open source license. Augen is free to use that open source code; however, the suite of applications comprising Google Mobile Services on Android are proprietary to Google and have not been released under open source licenses. The Google Mobile Service and Android Apps were pre installed during the development process on our tablets for testing purposes, and were not removed unintentionally before releasing the products in the market place.
Google and Augen came to a mutual understanding that the Google Mobile Services Application Suite pre-installed on the GENTOUCH/ GENBOOK Series; could not be removed due to technological constraints for the products that were sold, shipped, or already produced.
For future production runs and deliveries, Augen will block and remove the Google Mobile Services Application Suite from the current devices until further notice. We are currently in communication with Google Inc. to obtain the required licensing for upcoming products, and will announce in our future statements the timelines and availability of these products as it will become available to us. However, for your convenience Augen will add applications to accommodate the absence of the Google Mobile Services Application Suite.
The future of Augen holds a key to develop market conscious products with a vision of delivering the latest and emerging technologies, being available and affordable to every household, big/small corporation in the United States of America and worldwide.
We are at the final stages of releasing an entire new line of products which incorporates the newest technology and concepts, that will make a difference in your every day lives. We encourage you our Gen Nation, to follow the exciting products that Augen will be unveiling in the very near future. We are here to put the world at your fingertips and take you beyond the realm of the market that exists today, bringing you with us into a new era of open world communication and computing.
We are a US based company and understand and incorporate your wishes, desires, and requirements in our company's DNA. We are here for you and are looking for your continued support, and excitement in our current and future releases.

Here are some video formats that will run/wont work on the Gentouch.
The provided case with the Gentouch is very good quality. However, I did not like how it opens/unfolds out leaving the screen exposed. So what I did is I made a pouch out of it. All is required:superglue/gorilla glue.Just glue all plastic legs from bottom to top and let it dry and simply slide the Gentouch in and out of the case.
Since the Augen Gentouch does not a have a standard 3.5MM headphone port you must buy an adapter such as this one to make standrad headphones work. http://www.amazon.com/Headset-Adapter-Converter-Cingular-AT/dp/B000LMBJMA
