Yo chef john! Long time lover of the blog :)
Anyway for everyone else, I do this exact same thing quite often except I use creme fraiche instead of water.
I serve it with minted new potatoes + french beans, it goes down a treat. And because it's so easy to cook you can get a head start on the white wine :)
enjoy! - March 9, 2011 at 5:18 PM

I am not feeling well today, and was just thinking, "Gee... I want some mushrooms." Then what do I see on your blog?
That looked gorgeous, I can't wait to try it (both your way and my way!)... but I need to be well enough to go to the store first! - March 9, 2011 at 5:26 PM
Do you really stick a thermometer in your breasts or do you guesstimate?

Yummy!!! I can't wait to try this recipe...Chicken is my favorite and I love MUSHROOMS!!!!

I love your simple 2-ingredient way with this chicken and mushrooms recipe, John! It looks incredible! Thanks for getting back to basics with this one.

Great job, Chef John, love your videos!
Newbie question: Are those shrooms raw or pre-cooked? - March 9, 2011 at 9:13 PM
- Psyrixx said...
Would you say this method is also the best way to cook plain Jane sirloin steaks? Watching recipes from Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver and others, they just pan sear and say "leave it for x minutes for medium or medium well and ONLY FLIP IT ONCE!!!"
After several burned-on-the-outside, raw-on-the-inside steaks, I don't believe their method is possible. I've started preheating my oven to 375 and tossing the steaks in for 20-25 minutes after browning the outside.
Care to repeat this experiment with steak? - March 9, 2011 at 9:33 PM
- Chef John said...
Fresh slice shrooms. Thanks!
- March 9, 2011 at 9:34 PM
- Chef John said...
No need! :-) We've done plenty of pan seared steaks, check them out! Like the minute steak, etc.

Chef John,
I like the idea of keeping things simple in the kitchen as an exercise in palette building. I'm always amazed watching episodes of Top Chef where the contestants blind taste ingredients but miss the simplest products.
A few variations for us home-gamers (I totally answered "fond" by the way): it appears you used button mushrooms but, a nice experiment would be varying the mushrooms to understand their flavor. Also, try a chicken thigh instead of the breast. When the dish has a limited number of components these changes are more noticeable.

Makes me want Chicken Marsala. Great, now it's 10AM and I want lunch.
- March 10, 2011 at 9:55 AM
Another option is grilled pizza, in which the crust is baked directly on a barbecue grill.
Most Italians weren't familiar with the many regional variations their fragmented homeland had produced, but a longing for pan-Italian unity inspired a widespread embrace of a simplified pizza as their "national" dish. - March 10, 2011 at 9:58 AM
I only had boneless, skinless breasts and I can tell you that this also turns out great without the skin. You just need to use a slightly lower temperature and cook the breasts to a light, golden color to prevent that stringy crust from forming.
If you wanted to add a bit of minced garlic with the mushrooms and finish with a splash of marsala and chicken stock, this would probably make for a nice, light version of chicken marsala.
Out of curiosity, how many times do people usually burn their hands before they remember not to shake the pan around while making the sauce after taking the pan straight from the oven? - March 10, 2011 at 10:27 AM
- Livia said...
This looks delicious.
I just got a cast iron skillet, exactly to have a pan that I can use on the stovetop as well as in the oven. It's not enameled, though.
Since I'm not experienced with using it, do you foresee any problems with using a seasoned cast iron pan in place of the stainless steel one?
Thanks! I will most definitely make this (if my pan can do the job). - March 10, 2011 at 11:26 AM
- Chef John said...
cast iron would work great!

Chicken with skin and pans without nonstick - it's a food revolution! A coup from the coop! Bravo!

My new copy of "Modernist Cuisine" arrived today at the low low price of $462.30 (free shipping!) and there's a version of this EXACT recipe.
Only difference is the chicken and mushrooms are cooked sous vide for 48 hours at 30C, then flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, zapped in a Paco-Jet, then gelatinized in a sodium alginate solution.
OK, so the end product isn't really similar, but the photography is BEAUTIFUL. - March 10, 2011 at 6:42 PM
- Chef John said...
i ordered mine today!
- March 10, 2011 at 8:04 PM
Only had thighs, could not resist subbing my homemade chicken stock for the water. So easy and what a surprise. Very, very good.
- March 10, 2011 at 11:46 PM
I prefer enhanced breasts (and it's not Ash Wednesday). This recipe is diabetic friendly, and on the menu for Saturday dinner. Thanks!
- March 10, 2011 at 11:50 PM
I made this tonight. It came out tasting great although I had chopped up my own whole chicken and the skin didn't quite survive although I used the breasts and thighs. What skin did survive didn't get quite as brown as what you show. I'll try again later with some store bought breasts.
- March 14, 2011 at 12:40 AM
hi chef john, what should i do if i do not have an oven to pop the pan into?
- April 3, 2011 at 10:09 AM
- Chef John said...
Just cover and cook in low until done.
- April 3, 2011 at 12:16 PM
Hi chef John!
I used the low budget skinless chicken breasts that you buy from the freezer in the super market when I made this recipe. It was really good too, and I think I'll do it again!
But I'll make sure to find some fresh chicken breasts with skin on them and do it that way also. (And I wish I could learn how to hold back on the salt. I always over do it with the salt!!!)
Thanks for this one,
Peter from Sweden. - April 3, 2011 at 7:10 PM

Looks like a fantastic dish..
No/Low/Slow carb friendly as well!
Gonna use thigh tho, never liked breast - May 23, 2011 at 4:39 AM
- Aaron said...
Forgot to ask a question:
I don't have a proper oven at home (just a toaster oven). What sort of adjustments do I make if I wanna finish it on a pan? - May 23, 2011 at 4:44 AM
CHef John is right it is sooo delicious... I have made it over and over and i just love it... So much flavor to it and just tastes havetly...
- August 2, 2011 at 12:45 AM
- TL said...
Chef John, we've made many of your recipes, all are amazing... but this is probably one of my new favorite recipes offering such incredible flavor, and it's so easy to make. Thank you for sharing your techniques with us!
- August 10, 2011 at 11:49 PM
Made this in a cast iron skillet. Totally rocked!

I had mushrooms and chicken and I looked up a recipe online and found yours. I made it and I LOVE. :) I will make it this way again for sure. Thanks so much.
- October 26, 2011 at 8:30 PM
This was the first recipe I tried when I found this site. Dropped a mint on a stainless skillet and discovered...fond. I'm looking into getting a personalized license plate the says "Pan Sauce" now. Thanks Chef!

I followed your video recipe with the precision of a chemical engineer (I mean - exactly) and it turned out great! Definitely a keeper - thanks! - January 1, 2012 at 5:09 AM
This recipe sounds great. Is there a way to get a printable copy?
- January 11, 2012 at 3:51 PM
- Chef John said...
not yet, but I hear Allrecipes is working on them.
- January 11, 2012 at 4:03 PM
I only have Calphalon's non-stick saute pans and skillets. However, I do believe they can go in the oven. Would that type of pan still work with this recipe?
- January 14, 2012 at 3:39 PM
I am thinking about making some side spaghetti for the dish, any suggestion? white sauce or Red sauce is better to match this "Just chicken and mushroom" dish? I will make tonight.
By the way,I love your site, I watch EVERYDAY and try one recipe a day, so much fun and i am spreading the words to many of my love-to-cook friends!!! thanks John. - January 18, 2012 at 2:01 PM
- Chef John said...
I would think white sauce would be a better match, but both are good!
- January 18, 2012 at 2:03 PM
Chef John,
Could you suggest any substitutions for the mushrooms? My family has food allergies.
Thanks so much. - January 26, 2012 at 1:47 PM
- Chef John said...
sorry, but mushrooms are such a unique ingredient, there are no substitutions. You may want to try another recipe than this one, as they are the key.
- January 26, 2012 at 1:52 PM
Fixed this for dinner tonight. My husband said "not mushrooms again" (he doesn't care too much for them and we'd just had them 2 nights ago). After serving it to him, he said it was the best chicken he's ever eaten (he kept making these ummmmm sounds while eating!). It was so moist and tender. Will definitely add to my favorites. Thanks, Chef John (love your videos)
- January 27, 2012 at 12:08 AM
In answer to the question "I only have Calphalon's non-stick saute pans and skillets. However, I do believe they can go in the oven. Would that type of pan still work with this recipe?"
Yes, I cooked it tonight in my Calphalon Commercial Saute pan and it came out great!!! My husband gave it 5 stars (and he doesn't like mushrooms!!). - January 27, 2012 at 12:16 AM

Hi Chef John!
I love watching you (you sly dog, you) You really make me laugh as well as prompt me to make things I've all but forgotten that I have made. I've just recently found my iron skillets which had been consigned to the garage when I bought my stainless steel set a couple years ago. There was some rust so I Googled 'cleaning cast iron' and lo and behold...I have brought them back from 'rust buckets' to wonderful pans again. Now if I could just figure out how to make them lighter...Yvonne - February 4, 2012 at 3:37 PM
This was a heavenly dish. We loved it. Thank you so much!!
- February 22, 2012 at 7:32 PM
My daughter and I made the "Just chicken and Mushrooms"! Unbelievably good! Better than good! And so easy! Thank yu for this lovely recipe!
- February 24, 2012 at 8:13 AM
thanks for teaching me how to make this minimalist, and supremely tasty dish. i used mini portabellos and it came out perfect.
for those worried about the chicken skin calories, I think the taste is worth more than 15 minutes of exercise? A brisk walk around the block maybe? - February 29, 2012 at 6:09 PM
- Sembazuru said...
I made this over the weekend, and so yummy and simple. I saw that you used champion mushrooms, so I followed suit with my first attempt. Both my wife and I thought that the mushrooms almost tasted like portabellas when done. I'm thinking of trying this with shitakes next. I live in Kennett Square, PA: Mushroom Capital of the World (just Google it...) so I have plenty of really fresh mushrooms to play with.
My only comment on the recipe is it seems that the written amount of oil (2 Tbsp) seemed to be excessive. I had quite a layer of oil in the pan when finishing the sauce that I didn't see in your video. Should that be 2 tsp, or 1 Tbsp?
Thanx for yet another really yummy recipe. - March 5, 2012 at 5:54 PM
- Elaine Livingston said...
All I could find was boneless skinless chicken so I bought 2 chicken breasts with the bone and de-boned them myself. The first one went ok, the 2nd one, well...could you do a video on de-boning a RAW chicken breast? I know you've done cutting up a whole chicken. Thank you.
- March 25, 2012 at 4:12 PM
- Elaine Livingston said...
Just finished eating this and said OMG 18 times.....
- March 25, 2012 at 6:02 PM
The first time I made this, I didn't need to add water. I don't know if it was a different type of mushroom, or because I threw in an extra breast, but there was plenty of water in the pan when I pulled it out. So, down one ingredient and it was still incredibly flavorful. I threw it over plain rice (to avoid muddying the flavor any more than I had to), and my whole family loved it!
Tonight, I'm making it again with some stock, onion, and garlic. Such is the fate of an easily customizable recipe. But, again, the original was fantastic. - April 20, 2012 at 5:11 PM
Going to try this today with no oven, just replacing the baking step with covering the pan and reducing to low. Wish me luck!!!
Your are an asset to humanity Chef John!!! - July 1, 2012 at 12:58 AM
- Rida said...
Hello Chef John
what is i wish to add potatoes, or vegetables with the mushroom, how do i do that? what is needed?
PS love your blog, amazing
Rida - July 27, 2012 at 2:59 AM
Hi, Chef John. I stumbled upon your blog while searching for the simplest recipe for chicken. I just put the chicken and mushroom in the oven as I write this. I hope I get it right. I'll browse through your website later. I'm looking forward to more simple recipes (which are perfect for amateurs like me). =)

I made this dish last night - yummy, yummy, yummy!
I only had skinless chicken breasts so I threw in a couple strips of bacon which I had cut into small pieces. It actually went really well and gave the dish a slightly smokey taste.
I love your recipes. Please keep them coming. Thank you so much. - November 11, 2012 at 9:29 AM

I made this and I was skeptical at first bc of the water...but it is so good. The skin is so flavourful. Only wish would be to have more sauce. How can I double up the amount of sauce?
- April 21, 2013 at 7:24 PM
- Barbara said...
I've made this before and it was amazing, I just did a search for the video 'cuz I have some shrooms in the fridge and a couple of skin-on chicken breasts, so this is dinner tonight! After trying this one I'll be checking the blog frequently. Thanks!

Which butter work best? unsalted or the salted one? thanks.
- August 5, 2013 at 10:08 AM

I only use unsalted butter here. Enjoy!
- August 5, 2013 at 10:23 AM
- Unknown said...
Chef John, your entertaining videos convinced me to try to learn to cook. This was my first real recipe attempt and it was tasty, but I think I overcooked it, especially the mushrooms, even with cutting short the second saute step. I used an iron frying pan instead of stainless steel, would that make a difference? More likely, it was my oven or stove being too hot. The stove doesn't have 'medium' or 'high' designations, do you have any tips to judge temperatures?
- February 17, 2014 at 3:31 PM
- Unknown said...
Hello Chef John, I just came along your recipes and I absolutely fell in love with them! I just had one quick question for this one ( making it for family dinner next weekend) and mjust wanted to know if instead of water, can I use chicken broth ?
- February 20, 2014 at 3:03 PM
- Chef John said...
Yes, of course! I was only making a point. Thanks!
- February 20, 2014 at 5:43 PM
- Unknown said...
Hi Chef John
I tried this recipe today & omg it was tasty I love the natural favor of the chicken & mushroom without any sauce! I didn't have the chicken with the skin on so I just use boneless chicken breast without the skin, I butter it up before I fried it so kinda get a really close Golden look like yours lol
Thank you so much for all your amazing video recipe
- February 20, 2014 at 10:23 PM

Hi Chef John,
I was hoping you could tell me where to purchase boneless skin-on breasts. A few calls to my local grocery chains have only turned up bone in. Do I buy those and debone them? Thanks for helping me become my family's cook! - January 30, 2015 at 9:19 AM
- Unknown said...
I made this recipe once with boneless/skinless and it was actually really good. I finally have chicken breasts with skin on them and I'm doing it the right way today. woohoo
- February 10, 2016 at 10:04 AM
- vwolfe said...
can you use cast iron skillet or would it need to be stainless steel to turn out correctly
- August 1, 2016 at 12:39 AM
- Super duper mom said...
@vwolfe, I used cast iron and it was great. I used thighs instead of breasts because that's what I had, and I couldn't resist and added onions and garlic. I also used white wine instead of water. I always use refined coconut oil instead of light olive oil as the fatty acids chains don't break down when heated like they do in the olive so it's much more healthful. Sorry. I did keep the seasonings down to salt and pepper like you said. I served mine with plain oven roasted potatoes and garnished with fresh parsley. SO GOOD! With the leftovers for lunch today I topped the potatoes with shredded cheddar and the chicken and mushrooms with a little sour cream. Again sooo delicious! Thanks for all the great recipes! You're my favorite!

Chef John, Just made this evening! UNBELIEVABLY GOOD! INCREDIBLE! STUPENDOUS!
Apologies to all who "used yak meat because that's what I had" and "didn't use seasoning at all because that is for sissies" and "deep fried because the grill was in the shop", but I made this EXACTLY as described, and am glad I did. Listen, People! This man is a GENIUS. Do what he says! How can you even comment when you wander so far afield? Yah, I get that "even though I made something different it was still good" vibe, but it's really irrelevant. Rant completed. - April 6, 2017 at 10:38 PM

Made this tonight with one alteration: the chickens breasts had bones, so I removed them and made a quick stock for the final process. Delicious, moist, and the mushrooms were particularly tasty. I shall do this one again.

Looking forward to trying this out.
Just Chicken and Mushrooms (by Chef John)
Original page: https://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2011/03/just-chicken-and-mushrooms.html
* 2 large chicken breasts, boneless, skin-on
* salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
* 2 tablespoon olive oil
* 8 oz thickly sliced mushrooms
* 1/2 cup water
* 1 tablespoon butter
1. Prepare chicken breasts by sprinkling salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the olive oil a the pan and add the chicken skin-side down. Heat until brown, and flip the chicken.
3. Then add the mushrooms around the chicken along with a big pinch of salt. Increase the heat to high, and cook for 5 minutes. The mushrooms will shrink a little bit releasing their moisture. Pre-heat the oven to 400F while the mushrooms are cooking.
4. Transfer pan to oven, cook for 15-20 minutes, and remove the pan from the oven.
5. Remove the chicken from the pan, and let it rest on a plate. The internal temperature should be above 165F for safety. Cover the chicken with aluminum foil, but don't tuck it in.
6. Transfer the pan with mushrooms back to stove, turn heat to medium-high, and saute for 5 minutes. All the juices in the pan should caramelize on the bottom of the pan into a fond. Then add 1/2 cup water. It will reduce quickly due to heat. Turn off the heat when the liquid reduces by half. Add any excess juices from the chicken plate back into the pan. Also add a chunk of cold butter. Keep stirring until butter has melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Pour the sauce onto the rested chicken breasts, optionally add some fresh parsley on top, and serve. - August 20, 2018 at 2:11 AM

On July 29, 2011, The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy docked in Seward, Alaska, marking the end to the field component of NASA's ICESCAPE mission. The multidisciplinary group returns to their land-based labs to apply the data toward improving of space-based observations, and to finish piecing together the story of how sea ice and ocean systems impact Arctic ecology. Continue to follow the mission's news at nasa.gov.
Before heading to the Anchorage airport, a few scientists on board shared some parting thoughts about the ICESCAPE mission.
Scientists stretched their legs on land after disembarking from the Healy on July 29, 2011 after five weeks at sea. Credit: NASA/Kathryn Hansen
William Balch, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences:
The most interesting thing I learned during ICESCAPE was the phytoplankton community could be represented by so many major algal groups, like diatoms, dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids, silicoflagellates and picoplankton. One thing I will never forget about ICESCAPE will be walking over the desolate ice in the Beaufort Sea (a truly surreal landscape) with almost 2 miles of water below me!
Guangming Zheng, Scripps Institution of Oceanography:
One thing I will never forget about ICESCAPE was that people liked my version of "Hotel California" much more than I had expected; And they were nice enough to tell me they liked it!
Holly Kelly, Farragut High School:
I finally got to sail on the Healy after ten years being away from oceanographic related work, which completes the trifecta of sailing on both polar class ships – Sea and Star and now the Healy. It was a wonderful experience and the beauty was I could share things with friends and family in a timely fashion, since email was readily available. Ten years ago, it was NOT!!
Shanique Martin, Stanford University:
One thing I will never forget about ICESCAPE is my experience taking a melt pond core and during the process having my boots flooded with ice cold water but I still enjoyed every moment of it!
David Mayer, Clark University
One thing I will never forget about ICESCAPE is the crew of the USCGC Healy. Everyone from the Captain down to the non-rated personnel displayed a tremendous dedication to the science mission. The marine science technicians had perhaps the most direct involvement with the science team. They would do everything from acting as liaisons between the science team and the crew to pitching in with science operations on the ice. Members of the deck crew served as riggers and bear watches to get our gear on and off the ice and make sure that we could operate safely. Science operations were conducted around the clock with many science team members working in 12 hour shifts. It was always a huge boost to morale whenever a member of the galley crew would stop by the main lab at 2:00AM carrying a tray of freshly baked cookies. Occasionally science equipment would break down or become damaged while working in the Arctic. Members of the EM shop were always available to do what they could to help us repair instruments, even going so far as to machine replacement parts for us. Members of the engineering division performed at the highest level of professionalism to keep the engines running, and the power on so that we could reach our science stations and run our instruments. Captain Havlik and the senior officers took a personal interest in science operations and worked closely with members of the science team to identify suitable locations for ice stations and small boat activities. The science team is composed of many very smart and well- respected researchers but ultimately the success of the 2011 ICESCAPE mission was the result of the shared sense of duty between members of the science team and the ship's crew.

The Golf Course
The course itself has NO weak holes. The seventh and eighth holes are short par fours and have fantastic risk/reward characteristics. The seventh hole, 285 yards, proves that holes like the short eighth at Cruden Bay are not out of date. The eighth in particular has a sort of bowl shaped green that if you land on the correct spot on the green the ball trickles down to a pin set right behind a bunker. The fourteenth hole also stands out as another super risk/reward hole. It is a 475 par five that most players can reach in two, particularly if the wind is at your back. It is nice as a mortal golfer to have a shot at an eagle every now and then. If you miss your shot, however, you're dead. There are severe bunkers in the back and front and the green slopes sharply from back to front. One of the best holes in the world, in my view. The seventeenth (pictured below), their signature hole, is a short par three and has a postage stamp green.
Part of what makes the course shine is that every green (except 17) is accessible from the front, encouraging bump and run or pitch shots. The fairway blends into the green in a spectacular fashion. Many play up hill so you can frequently misjudge and under-club in which case you are going to be hitting the same shot again with the ball rolling back to your feet. In shades of Pinehurst #2, the fourth hole at Sand Hills has a dramatic falloff from the elevated green on the right side. Although the holes on the course are not handicap rated, this is probably the #1 handicap hole for most people. It is like Pinehurst #2 on steroids. The eighteenth hole is a long, uphill par four that played into the wind on the two days I played the course and is a worthy finishing hole given the heroic scale of Sand Hills.
At times when playing Sand Hills it feels like you are playing at Royal St. George's or North Berwick or Shinnecock, but also many of the holes have the feel of desert golf with wide fairways and 'target' tee shots. Miss your tee shot, though, and you will be chipping out of the fescue. Consistent with Coore-Crenshaw's design philosophy it is the shots into the green that you have to play well at Sand Hills
Note to golf course architects: Study the approaches and greens at Sand Hills. You don't need to put greenside bunkers everywhere to create a great course. You can walk the course, but this is the one place I recommend taking a cart - for the simple reason that you don't want to tire yourself out for playing again in the afternoon. Believe me, you will want to play at least 36 holes a day.
The Sand Hills Golf Club is also a maternal type of place where they look after you. The men and women there are like a long lost aunt and uncle and they take good care of you. They prepare you a hearty breakfast to order. A genuine westerner, a leather-faced cowboy in a big hat grills you either a hamburger or hot-dog at lunch at the starters cabin/grill. I was so excited driving into Sand Hills that I hadn't noticed that my car had run out of gas after the 5 1/2 hour drive. When I started it to leave the fuel light came on. The nearest gas station is 15 miles from the golf course. The nice people at Sand Hills put a couple of gallons of gas in the car for me from their own private reserve. It reminded me a lot of how people in Manhattan treat each other hailing cabs in the rain.
There are few places in this world left where you can still find true peace. The Sand Hills region is one of those places. At Sand Hills I experienced a range of emotions oscillating from "Where am I?" to "This is unreal". In a post-September 11th world we need to treasure places like Sand Hills where you can still be completely at peace, can see the stars in the sky at night and disconnect from modern life and enjoy the fresh air and wide open spaces. It is a great contrast to modern life. Peace and quiet are sadly no longer valued in the world today. Sand Hills is the antidote to your asshole neighbor who uses his leaf blower at seven in the morning. It helps to heal your soul from all those times sitting in the airport with CNN blaring in your face. It helps you forget all those blowhards on the train that scream into their cellphone. And it reminds us what life was like before everyone had their iPODs and DVDs set so high that everyone around them can hear. It reminds us that peace and quiet are to be treasured and that modern life is sadly out of balance.
The course itself is rather difficult to get invited to. There are only 150-160 members who are scattered all over the world. The course is only open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Play is limited to 50 rounds a day and an unaccompanied guest can only visit Sand Hills once without the member. If you are ever invited to play, you would be crazy to decline.
The Sand Hills region is starting to be discovered. Jack Nicklaus is building a me too course and resort nearby on NE-97 that will have its own Cessna plane to shuttle passengers in and out. While the region is hardly at risk of being over-run, resorts are starting to spring up for both golfing and for hunting. However, none will ever equal what has been created at the Sand Hills Golf Club. It is one of a kind.
My experience tells me that most avid golfers are not up on famous turn of the century female writers. I'm not normally a Willa Cather type of guy, but I found this quote from her which describes the Sand Hills region: "I wanted to walk straight on through the grass and over the edge of the world, which could not be very far away. The light air about me told me that the world ended here; only the ground, sun, and sky were left. "

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Huawei, a Chinese company that recently became the world's third-largest maker of smartphones, calls its new flagship product "the fastest smartphone in the world" and wants to use it to expand global awareness of its brand.
Parts of the presentation of the phone at a press conference Sunday in Barcelona, Spain, suggest that the company has some way to go in polishing its pitch for a global audience.
Richard Yu, head of Huawei's consumer business group said the new phone can be programmed to display more than 100 different "themes," or looks. This is important because "ladies like flowers, colorful things," Yu said.
Yu also said Huawei is learning from Apple how to make Google's Android software easier to use, a lawsuit-friendly utterance considering that Apple is on a global campaign to sue makers of Android phones for copying from the iPhone.
The new phone, the Ascend P2, will have a 4.7 inch screen. Yu said it will be available in the April to June time frame for about $525 without a contract. It's the "fastest" because it supports faster download speeds than other phones. However, today's wireless networks aren't equipped to supply those speeds.
Huawei Technologies Ltd. was the world's third largest seller of smartphones, after Samsung and Apple, in the fourth quarter of last year, according to research firm IDC. That's despite selling very few phones in the U.S., where the big phone companies mostly ignore it. It has a much better position in Europe, where cellphone companies have embraced its network equipment, and France's Orange is committed to selling the phone.
In the U.S., a congressional panel recommended in October that phone carriers avoid doing business with Huawei or its smaller Chinese rival, ZTE Corp., for fear that its network equipment could contain "back doors" that enable access to communications from outside. The Chinese government rejected the report as false and an effort to block Chinese companies from the U.S. market.
Meanwhile, a report by a private U.S. cybersecurity firm concluded recently that a special unit of China's military is responsible for sustained cyberespionage against U.S. companies and government agencies. China has denied involvement in the attacks in which massive amounts of data and corporate trade secrets, likely worth hundreds of millions of dollars, were stolen.
"It has not been an easy journey for us," Huawei's global brand director, Amy Lou, said Sunday of the company's quest to become globally recognized and trusted. She called the company "a great consumer brand in the making."
The world's largest cellphone trade show, Mobile World Congress, opens Monday in Barcelona.

Obama earned less in 2012, pays $112k in taxes
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama made less in 2012 than in any other year since taking office...
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama made less in 2012 than in any other year since taking office, with about 40 percent of the nearly $609,000 in income that he and first lady Michelle Obama reported coming from book sales.
Obama, who renewed his call for higher taxes on the wealthy in the budget he released Wednesday, paid $112,214 in taxes last year, putting his effective federal tax rate at 18.4 percent. The Obamas donated almost one-quarter of their income to charity, according to tax returns released by the White House.
Most of the $608,611 that the Obamas reported in adjusted gross income came from the president's salary, as he reported $394,840 in wages. An additional $258,772 came from royalties from his books, including his 1995 memoir "Dreams From My Father," his 2006 political book, "The Audacity of Hope," and a 2010 children's book, "Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters."
Income from Obama's books has fallen off since 2009, when his books sales surged after his inauguration. The Obamas made $5.5 million that year — his first year in office — but the figure dropped precipitously the next year to $1.73 million. In 2011, the Obamas reported about $790,000 in income.
The president and Mrs. Obama signed their tax returns on Monday — one week before the April 15 deadline for Americans to file their 2012 returns.
Itemized deductions of $258,385 brought the Obama's taxable income down to $335,026. The first family deducted $45,056 in interest on the mortgage for their home in Chicago, plus $36,554 in state and local taxes and $26,751 in real estate taxes.
Through withholding and estimated tax payments during the year, the Obamas paid $129,029 to the Internal Revenue Service — an overpayment of $16,815. The Obamas directed that, rather than receive a refund, the overpayment will be applied to their taxes for next year.
The Obamas also claimed $39,875 in income from outside the United States. A White House official said all of that income came from book royalties, but did not disclose details about which countries the income came from. The official was not authorized to comment publicly on Obama's taxes and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The president and first lady reported donating $150,034 — or 24.6 percent of their income — to 33 charities. That's a slight dip from the previous year, when the Obamas donated more than $172,000. The largest contribution last year was a $103,871 donation to Fisher House Foundation, which provides humanitarian services to military members, veterans and their families. Other charitable groups that received donations from the president for $5,000 or less include the American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the United Negro College Fund.
The president and the first lady also paid $29,450 in income taxes to Illinois, according to their state tax returns.
The White House also released tax returns for Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, who teaches at Northern Virginia Community College.
The Bidens paid $87,851 in federal income taxes on $385,072 in adjusted gross income, for an effective federal tax rate of 22.8 percent. The vice president and his wife paid state income taxes in two states — $13,531 in Delaware and $3,593 in Virginia. The Bidens overpaid a bit last year in their withholdings, so they'll get a refund of $4,608 from the IRS.
They reported donating $7,190 to charity. The largest sum of $2,400 went to the Catholic Diocese in Wilmington, Del.
The president this week revived his push for wealthier Americans to pay higher taxes, arguing that higher earners like himself should bear a larger share of the burden for deficit reduction. The $3.8 trillion budget blueprint he unveiled Wednesday proposed that "wealthy millionaires pay no less than 30 percent of income, after charitable contribution, in taxes," to ensure that poorer Americans don't get stuck paying higher rates than the wealthy. Obama also proposed a change in the way inflation is calculated that, if proposed, would have the effect of pushing more Americans into higher tax brackets.
"The president believes we must reform our tax system, which is why he has proposed policies like the Buffett Rule that would ask the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share while protecting families making under $250,000 from seeing their taxes go up," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement accompanying the release of Obama's tax returns.
During the negotiations with Congress over New Years, Obama won a tax increase on incomes over $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples, although he had wanted those thresholds to be lower. The deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff preserved the lower Bush-era tax rates for the middle class.

We offer a Free quote and UK design service, get in touch today.
With the Government trying to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint by a whopping 80% by the year 2050, they are trying to encourage everyone to do their part to help.
Green roof systems are one such initiative but they make sense on so many other levels. They are not to be confused with garden rooftops.
A green-roof system involves installing a watertight membrane on the roof and then planting various greenery on top, creating a 'green-roof.' They are sometimes called 'living roofs' because in essence, that's exactly what they are and the advantages that they provide cannot be disputed.
You may have additional extras added to these systems such as rooflights https://www.roofingsystems.org.uk/rooflights/ and much more.
Knowing how to build a green-roof really isn't all that tricky. What you need to understand is that a green-roof system is compiled of multiple layers, so by the time everything has been laid down, it will be extremely heavy.
You need to make sure that your roof and your building foundations are strong enough to cope with this weight or you'll end up with a disaster on your hands.
Next come the multiple layers of protection for the roof. You can't just put some soil on your roof and expect things to grow because it just won't work.
It is recommended to put a high quality roofing mat or green roof blanket down prior by professional installers to ensure a high quality installation.
You need to protect the roof itself from moisture and greenery, so layers of filtration and lining need to be installed to prevent damp and leaking water. Once these have been installed you can address adding the soil and the plants that you want to include, this can range from anything - even wildflower.
If you would like to learn more about our team https://www.roofingsystems.org.uk/ and the products we offer, please complete the contact form provided.
The eco green-roof construction cost has been known to put people off as it can be expensive. Obviously, the larger the area the more expensive the project will be, but it has to be seen as an investment rather than an indulgence.
Since specification can have an impact on cost we can alter your spec to meet specific budgets.
Alternatively you may choose to go with a Sedum roof https://www.roofingsystems.org.uk/sedum-roof/, which is similar with some differences.
Much like solar panels, the initial outlay is expensive but they repay their cost many times over the years. A green-roof can last twice as long as a normal one, they do brilliant things for the environment and they keep your home well insulated so the benefits far outweigh the initial cost.
As well as the size, other factors to consider are;
To be sure that you are not overstretching yourself financially it would be a good idea to speak to a local roofs fitter such as ourselves that has experience of installing green-roof systems.
We will take you through the process of what is involved and then make recommendations unique to your property. Please get in touch by completing the form below and we will call you back to discuss your green-roof system further.
Living roof construction is a lot more labour intensive than a traditional flat roof system https://www.roofingsystems.org.uk/flat-roof/ but the rewards are well worth the initial hard work.
The green-roof system comprises of multiple layers of insulation, irrigation and soil being installed before any greenery can be planted. This is to ensure that the roof is safe from leaks and damp, but also to make sure that the foliage thrives and makes the roof as effective and as economical as it can be.
Once the various greenery, shrubs, plants, and grasses are planted they immediately start to help neutralise CO2 levels and help the environment.
A living roof makes a stunning addition to a building and makes a tired, uninspiring flat roof a treat for the eyes and a great way of controlling your CO2 emissions.
In the middle of a city, for example, the closest thing some people can get to see any kind of greenery is by having to go to a nearby public park.
Why do that when you can have a little slice of paradise on your own roof? Repairs to the roof will be virtually zero because the plants will look after themselves, maintenance just involves weeding a few times a year, and you should see your energy bills start to drop because the plants and greenery make the roof ultra insulated.
Living rooves cost more than conventional flat rooves to install but they will also last twice as long and make your home much more energy efficient.
Costs will vary depending on how labour-intensive the project will be but you will find that a green-roof will start paying you back almost immediately.
A refurbishment of your existing flat roof into a living roof could make it so much more eye-pleasing and environmentally friendly so get in contact with your local green roofing systems installer today to find out how you could have an amazing new roof and how it could work for you.
The green roofs pros and cons are as follows;
Green roofs in the UK can be found everywhere from city tower blocks to schools, to garages and sheds. More and more people are realising the potential that they have for making their buildings more energy efficient, but look at your surrounding areas - wouldn't a green-roof look so much better than a boring, black flat roof?
If you are thinking of doing a DIY green-roof then you'll need to include the following layers to make sure that it is as effective as possible;
If you are interested in installing green roof systems please get in touch with our team now using the contact form provided. We will get back to you as soon as possible with all the information you need and details on costs.

Phillip West (1931-1997), a Williamsburg, Virginia resident, had a recurrence of melanoma in May 1995, after a period of about 20 years. He fought his cancer in every way possible before his death in August, 1997. Throughout his illness, Mr. West sought medical information and resources concerning the treatment of melanoma, nutrition, stress management, and clinical trials available throughout the U.S. He wanted to be an informed patient in order to feel he had some control over his course of treatment. Finding resources in the community proved difficult and frustrating. Mr. West bequeathed a donation to the Williamsburg Community Hospital, and it was the wish of his wife that it be used for cancer-related projects. The Phillip West Memorial Cancer Resource Center was developed with the Williamsburg Regional Library as a fitting tribute to him.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
yes, there are other methods besides "message". Regarding the inventory, that is only fetched at the first load. You'll get notifications for changes when you subscribe to them on ago control. When listening to the proper events you can keep it up to date without needing a "reload". With standard I mean this: http://www.jsonrpc.org/specificationAdhering to it allows clients from multiple languages to talk to the service without much hassle. You can e.g. batch requests and have a defined set of result codes. Anyway..
there is a simulator available, it will provide some fake devices. Ping me on IRC when you're going to have a look, I'll be more than happy to assist. Just be warned that the current resolver component was rewritten in c++ and still has some issues. There is a python one, too, which is quite stable already.
maybe we can join efforts with ago control and come up with an abstraction layer that hides the innards of DCE/ago control and talk the same JSON-RPC protocol. I've added JSON-RPC to ago control recently, this page describes the current protocol: http://wiki.agocontrol.com/index.php/RPCIt should be straightforward to add similar methods to the DCE RPC plugin. I'd volunteer to implement this.
What I'd like to see in this thread, in addition to the very important discussion about the Core/Backend technology, is some people step forward who have good Web based skill sets and have built projects around JSON/Javascript. In addition anyone who is willing to learn those skills and dig into building new Orbiter UI's using this stuff - lets hear from you too.
*me steps forward*im a web guy for quite a while now ....@work i create webpages based on TYPO3, using jQuery and jQuerUI as Javascript Framework. Sometimes a bit server administration stuff ... thats it.Im not too bad @ designing stuff (i reckon) ... ;-)Cheers,ochorocho
Yes, I understand what and why you guys are doing this, but by doing this, you're fragmenting developer resources even more than what we already have!
So basically, you're keeping this under wraps, until you're "ready" to show it off. Throwing it over the wall.
Well, totallymaxed initial statement hinted at: Dianemo will develop stuff inhouse, and once ready will open it for others, as opposed to what you are saying now...
* posde is sure hari does not like his project to be associated with argonauts...

It's Day 1 of the NCAA Tournament! It is, arguably (or, actually, no argument) the greatest day of the sports year.
Starting at around noon ET, you can find me over at Deadspin, where I'll be all afternoon, live-blogging all of the day's games. Should be a ton of fun, so be sure to drop by and check it out.
(For a taste from the way-back machine, check out my ESPN.com live-blog of Tourney Day 1 from 2003.)
Quick relevant reminiscence: 10 years ago this week (cripes: 10 years?), I was the college basketball editor at ESPN.com. And today was IT: Probably my finest moment on the job.
I knew that ESPN.com would be the key source for millions of fans across the country stuck at work during the first round's afternoon games. (Remember obsessively hitting "refresh" on the ESPN.com scoreboard pages to track games?)
I decided that the key to my coverage strategy would be to update the front-page lead "top story" blurb as often as humanly possible. (Consider this was more than a half-decade before the word "live-blog" was even conceived.)
My recollection is that I averaged a fresh top-story blurb every 8-10 minutes, reflecting the latest momentum moves and storyline shifts. (Somewhere buried in my file cabinet, I have every single one of those blurbs printed out.)
An hyper-enthusiastic 24-year-old, I thought that my efforts appropriately matched the spirit and intensity of the day for fans. (That day, as I believe it has every year since on the first day of the NCAA Tournament, the site set its new one-day traffic record.)
You would have never known it was me behind the scenes, managing the coverage and obsessively flipping those top stories over (and over... and over...), but I was there, having the time of my life.
Including the greatest ESPN.com front page headline never to see the light of day: When 15-seed Coppin State beat 2-seed South Carolina, the concept on the table was:
Coppin a Feel:
Cocks Go Limp
Without hyperbole:
Greatest. Headline. Ever.
Shout-outs to current ESPN.com college basketball editor Andy Glockner, who will be running the show today, and to friends like Executive Editor Kevin Jackson and Page 2 editor David Schoenfield, both my beat-editing colleagues at the time, who were in on the all-hands-on-deck coverage team then -- as they probably are now. Fans remain in phenomenal hands.
Meanwhile, 10 years later, I am reviving that new-comment-every-few-minutes role – not on ESPN.com, but on the leading sports blog.
That 24-year-old Dan -- a limitless ESPN.com career ahead of him -- could never have possibly imagined how things would work out over the following 10 years. (Indeed: I'm sure he would have yelped, "34? What could THAT fogey know?" Ahh, arrogance of youth...)
But I think that Dan would have been excited to know that the first afternoon of the NCAA Tournament remains his most thrilling moment of the sports year. (Sorry for the 3rd-person reference.)
So I have no other editorial message today besides this: Enjoy it.
LAST CHANCE! Sign up NOW for the "Daily Quickie Readers" group of ESPN.com's Tournament Challenge. Come on: You KNOW you have an entry or two left!
By the way, I don't know if this stat is accurate, but DS.com commenter GuyInTheCorner claims that there are only three ESPN.com Tournament Challenge groups that have more than 1,000 entrants: Mike and Mike's, Deadspin's and "Daily Quickie Readers." For that, I heartily and sincerely thank you.
(As impressive as last year's largest-in-the-country 10,000-person pool group was, this year's total 1,300 – and counting! – is arguably more impressive, because I don't have my ESPN.com platform to drive entries, just this blog. So THANK YOU!)
Meanwhile, just in time for today's Tournament tip-off, Deadspin wrapped up its team-by-team coverage with my preview of
Previewing Today's Afternoon Games:
Inconsistent Terps should worry you.
7 BC over 10
I can't buy BK in the Tourney.
6 L'ville over 11 Stanford
Like Clerks, Cardinal shouldn't even be here today.
Remember when I picked 16 ORU over 1
Complete toss-up.
2 G'town over 15
How strong will trendy Hoyas look?
A nation of bandwagoneers holds it breath.
6 Vandy over 11 G.
The annual 5 p.m. ET game no one ever sees!
More Sports News:
NBA: Mavs-Suns. I had a very hard time getting too fired up for Mavs-Suns last night. Not just because the NCAA Tournament starts today, but because in the grand scheme of things, a regular-season NBA game – no matter who is playing in it – is meaningless. It's even MORE meaningless between top contenders. Does last night's result provide any indication of what will happen in the postseason if/when they meet again? No. Oh, and the Spurs are winning the West. So, really, when does Maryland-Davidson start? Give me one-game, win-or-bust playoff formats any day.
However, all that said: The Suns winning in
NBA Whining: Phil Jackson says Kobe Bryant is the subject of a "witch hunt" by the NBA? Oh for crying out loud... literally.
NFL: No. 21 in this newly redesigned jersey will be a Top 3 seller among NFL fans.
MLB: Gary Matthews denies taking HGH. Well, of COURSE he does. And short of anyone with proof he took it, it's all speculation, at best.
Meanwhile, the Albany DA will provide the names of all athletes involved in the recent PED bust to MLB. Intriguing! How fast before THOSE are leaked? Meanwhile, the NFL says they don't want to know. (Kidding: But, really, you know I'm not...)
Reptiles at spring training: I have heard that the movie sequel will be called "Snakes in a Press Box." The YouTube parody video writes itself.
But, seriously, are you paying attention to anything else in sports besides the Tournament? No. So here we go!

Duke Nukem Forever Lawsuits Settled
"The above action, including any and all claims that were or could have been asserted by the parties, is dismissed with prejudice in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement executed by the parties on May 14, 2010," reads the filing made May 28.
With the legal drama out of the way, the road to the long-awaited release of Duke Nukem Forever is apparently clear of legal hurdles--the game just needs to be finished.
Take-Two, the publisher of the notoriously long-in-development shooter, initially sued 3D Realms/Apogee Ltd. after the studio let its development staff go, which Take-Two took to indicate the cancellation of Duke Nukem Forever. 3D Realms fired back with a counter-suit of its own, revealing that the game was still in development.
"Dismissed with prejudice" means that neither can file another suit on the same claim. Details on the "Settlement Agreement" were not available, though the U.S. Trademark Office indicates that 3D Realms/Apogee Ltd. still owns the Duke Nukem property.
