Back in July, the future of Artega was cast into doubt after the automaker filed for insolvency . Well, the good news is someone has bought the company. The bad news is they didn't buy it to build cars.
Recently, Paragon AG took over all of the assets of the insolvent Artega Automobil GmbH & Co. KG with one caveat: they have no plans to resume production of Artega's sports car, the Artega GT .
Instead, Paragon AG plans to use its newly acquired resources in staff and space to continue to develop its new Electromobility and Body-Kinematics divisions. The acquisition of Artega also lets Paragon AG to take full control of the company's stage, enabling the latter to double its development team to 40 employees.
In a press release announcing the purchase, Paragon AG laid out its plans for Atria, including the use of the latter's former headquarters in Delbrück, Germany to set up their own technology center, as well as expanding prototype construction, setting up a bespoke application service for customers, and manufacture products on a larger scale.
"We are therefore strengthening operations at our headquarters in the long term and ensuring job security for the future," said Klaus Dieter Frers, Chairman of the Managing Board.
Hit the jump for the full presser.

As the AHL season winds down it's interesting to see how many of the AHL kids have met expectations. Today, we'll look at the defensemen; almost to a man the blueliners have gone beyond expectations this season. How many of them will have NHL careers?
Back in late September I posted the OKC G & D reasonable expectations. With the season almost done, it's interesting to see how these men performed during a strong OKC season:
- Jeff Petry RE: Petry should play most of the season in the NHL (I suggested 50 NHL games in the Oiler RE series) but the club has mentioned several times that the young college grad might need some fine tuning. I can't see it, especially against the backdrop of the other young blue, but it's reasonable to assume Petry spends some time in the minors. UPDATE: Petry covered the 50 NHL game bet and kept on rolling. Among the things we'll talk about all summer, Petry's emergence as a solid NHL defenseman will rank up there with RNH's rookie year and Eberle's outstanding season.
- Taylor Chorney RE: Chorney's offense didn't come with him to the pro level, something we see often in defensemen (they don't get enough PP time and chances are they aren't that special). With the new rules post CBA, it was felt that Chorney's ability to push the puck up would give him high value. As it turns out, his size and strength have been the real story since turning pro, but he has improved at the AHL level and you never know. Could be lost to waivers, but if he plays in OKC then we might expect another step forward for Chorney. UPDATE: All came true. He was lost to waivers and spent some time in St. Louis and Edmonton of the NHL. In OKC, Chorney had a fine year (45, 6-16-22 +13) and appears to have taken over some of the PP load from aging Bryan Helmer.
- Corey Potter RE: I don't know whether he makes the team out of TC but do believe that the Oilers will see fit to play him sometime this season. Potter looks to have enough foot speed and size to be handle things (we don't really know yet) and he certainly has the opportunity. RE for him in the AHL would be to slot into a role as a regular who can handle PP and PK duties. He's a good AHL player, should emerge as a leader in this group. UPDATE: Potter won an NHL job and played so well early the Oilers rewarded him with a new contract. Potter has not played as well since recovering from injury mid-season but I think he played well enough to be in the mix for an NHL job again next season.
- Taylor Fedun RE: He's turned heads this training camp, but 10 days doesn't make a career. I think Fedun's offense is unlikely to be a calling card, but his NHLE's were solid if a little skewed by powerplay goals. Hey, he might be something but we need to see a bunch of AHL at-bats before passing judgement. Reasonable? Playing a regular shift and surviving. Remember, the transition from college to pro has proven to be a difficult item for previous Oiler prospects. UPDATE: Lost his season to an icing injury. Damn shame.
- Colten Teubert RE: He impressed his AHL coach after coming over from LAK's organization and there's certainly an opportunity for him. Suffered a concussion and never did compete for a job this fall, but will get a chance this season. I think reasonable would be a full AHL season with a plus minus a little above average compared to the other Dmen. UPDATE: Showed himself capable in the AHL and a 20 game audition in the NHL exposed him as a guy who'll need refinement. I'm not sure the Oilers have any plans to use him as a big league option next season, so there's still time to evaluate. I'd suggest the organization might feel he'll eventually replace Sutton.
- Bryan Helmer RE: The top 5 players mentioned above Helmer are all defensemen I've projected to play (at least a little) in the NHL this season. Helmer begins the AHL only group, and despite being long in the tooth should impact the PP and play a prominent role at evens. Helmer should help in the development of these Oiler prospects and contribute at both ends of the ice. UPDATE: AHL record holder for career points by a defenseman, he turns 40 in July and might have some track left. From conversations I've had with Jim Byers it sounds like Helmer's PP time has been down some this season, so that aspect of his game may be fading.
- Alex Plante RE: Big, strong and immobile defensemen are readily available. Plante's time as an Oiler prospect isn't over but lordy it's going to take a miracle for him to climb back over the kids who have passed him since Plante turned pro. UPDATE: Had a terrific season, including an appearance in the AHL All-Star game. 33, 1-11-12 +13 during a season that included an NHL callup and a fairly long period off for injury, I'd suggest that the "miracle" implied in the RE may have happened. I don't know that he'll be an Oiler in the fall, and I do think his footspeed is a major negative, but if the Oilers offload Peckham over the summer Plante might get a chance.
- Johan Motin RE: There is no earthly way to know how he'll exit the system, only that it's as sure as breathing. Johan Motin has stepped into the developmental elevator shaft and could be back in Europe soon. Too bad, he seemed to have a future not so long ago. UPDATE: As expected, Motin is no longer in the organization. He was lost in the flood, the first of many I'm sure because there's an ocean on the way.
- Ryan Lowery RE: He has signed an AHL contract which means he may or may not play in OKC this season. A reasonable expectation would be 40+ games in the AHL for the Colorado College grad. UPDATE: He ended up at 26 games before heading to Stockton. Oilers may bring him back next season but I don't think they'll make him a member of their 50-man list.
- Kirill Tulupov: Complete wildcard, he could be in OKC opening night or pumping gas at the Chevron down the street. Big, strong and a half bubble off plumb. UPDATE: Tulupov is such an interesting player. Based on performance I think the Oilers may let him go, but he's 6.04, 230 and hits like the side of a building. Plus he's a little nuts. I wouldn't bet against him despite all the kids who are on the way.
That's such a good season for an NHL team's farm club. Jeff Petry has emerged as an NHL defender with a wide range of skills. I think it's important to give some of the credit to the AHL coaching staff, Petry looks confident and as composed as can be in the NHL. Impressive. The other prospects are on track and you could argue that Plante and Chorney have improved their lot based on this season.
A lot of good things this season.
- When: today at noon Edmonton time.
- Where: Team 1260 (hit the listen live).

Plus: The Rat Tissue Robot, Flickering Lights as an Energy Efficiency Solution and a Look Inside a Mythbuster's Workshop.
Homeless Planet Drifts through Space
Astronomers have definitively classified the first planet without a gravitational connection to any star – a homeless heavenly body drifting through space. The planet may be part of a much larger "nomadic" trend and could provide support for theories about the formation of stars and planets.
The planet, known as CFBDSIR2149, has a mass four to seven times that of Jupiter, a temperature of approximately 400 degrees Celsius and is estimated to be between 50 and 120 million years old, according to Science Blog. The object was discovered in a scan of hundreds of millions of planets and stars, and is the only homeless planet within our galactic vicinity.
"One tricky part is determining if rogue planet candidates are as massive as the 'failed stars' known as brown dwarfs, further along in stellar evolution but without enough mass to spark the nuclear fusion that causes starlight," BBC News reports. "Either way, the objects end up free of a host star's gravity. Given that most planets we know of are found through the effects they have on their host star's light, pinning down rogue planets has proven difficult."
The discovery of CFBDSIR2149 lends evidence for theories about rogue stars being formed from a disk of dust and debris but then thrown out of a host star's orbit or forming similarly to stars but never reaching a full star's mass. It also suggests that nomadic bodies could be far more numerous than suspected.
The Rat-Heart-Powered Robot
We're one step closer to Innerspace, as University of Illinois engineers yesterday published a study showing they were capable of making tiny robots that can travel inside the body to repair tissue damage.
The team used 3-D printing to fashion these "bio-bots" out of hydrogen, but added a secret ingredient: their hydrogen worms were seeded with rat cardiac tissue. The cardiac tissue, fed by liquid food, beats like a heart, causing the springboard-shaped, 5-10 millimeter robots to expand and contract, moving to the next damaged area.
"The idea is that, by being able to design with biological structures, we can harness the power of cells and nature to address challenges facing society," Rashid Bashir, professor of engineering at the University of Illinois, said in an announcement of the project. "As engineers, we've always built things with hard materials, materials that are very predictable. Yet there are a lot of applications where nature solves a problem in such an elegant way. Can we replicate some of that if we can understand how to put things together with cells?"
The bio-bots have a range of uses, including drug testing. "How the bots move can indicate their response to certain chemicals," NBC News explains. "Integration of cells that respond to specific chemicals could allow the bio-bots to be used as sensors."
The team has also revealed that it's working on adding legs to the bio-bot design to enable other activities, including walking in open air.
Are Flickering Lights the Next Energy Solution?
Lights that flicker for milliseconds at a time could lead to substantial energy savings, according to a new study published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
According to the scientists at the Barrow Neurological Institute who authored the study, pulses of light that flicker fast enough create the illusion of an uninterrupted stream of light. The study findings show that 67 milliseconds of light alternating with 10 milliseconds of darkness produce the illusion of continuous light, essentially tricking the human eye.
The discovery is more than just an optical illusion: if this flickering process were adapted for use in every light-emitting device in the country, energy consumption could be reduced by an estimated 5 percent to 20 percent, Stephen Macknik, neuroscientist and co-author of the study, explained to the Txchnologist blog. Furthermore, such lighting could result in billions of dollars in savings.
The flicker fusion effect is nothing new – movie screens and television monitors also produce the effect. But this study is the first to "tune light-emitting devices to match the temporal dynamics of the human visual system's temporal response" and provide a viable solution for more efficient energy usage.
Inside Mythbuster Adam Savage's Workshop
What does a professional mythbuster keep in his personal workshop? A surprising amount of rare, arcane and often amazing technology.
In an interview with Tested, Adam Savage of the Discovery Channel's Mythbusters grants an inside look at his gadget cave, which includes fascinating technological oddities such as a one-gigabyte hard drive from 1981 that weighs 75 pounds.

Paris Hilton, human being, loves Lied Animal Shelter! »
Paris Hilton: she has to perform 200 community service, because jail. And she gets to choose where to work off those hours, because—well, she worked a day at Lied Animal Shelter in Las Vegas, and at the end adopted a dog. Aww! An idle rich using some of that endless free time to do something good! Do you think she'll add to her menagerie in the future exclusively by adopting animals?
Mike from Occupied Las Vegas, our number-one source for Las Vegas animal news, nots that, reputation aside, if "[Paris Hilton] can influence legions of slack jawed gossip zombies not to buy dogs from pet stores then that's a win. You know, the demographic who fills the shelters with dalmatians and chihuahuas after the release of a popular Disney movie or a Taco Bell commercial. If Bruce Willis would just make ADOPT HARD, the shelters would be empty tomorrow."
[Pearl—furthest right—with the rest of her team in Haiti. See more photos here!]
Lied Animal Shelter, if you recall, is the home of Crosby and many other potential search and rescue dogs. The ASPCA Dog of the Year 2010 is a search and rescue dog, actually; her name is Pearl, and she was deployed to Haiti to help save lives after the earthquake. Pearl is A HERO*, you guys, and two nice teachers from Rancho Romero School in Alamo, Calif. wrote a book about her. It's called A New Job for Pearl, and all the profits from its sale are donated to the Search Dog Foundation center in Ojai, Calif. AWWW, YOU GUYS, buy the nice book for your little relations! Then you can explain why no one should ever, ever buy a dog when they can adopt one, because the dogs who don't get adopted and don't find good jobs WILL BE MURDERED.
Merry Christmas! Adopt an animal!
*You know "heroine" is going the way of "actress," right? English allows for gender neutrality, let's embrace it. Imagine if we still used "authoress" or "poetess"—BARF.

A season of punishment has begun for state School Superintendent John Barge – payback for his opposition to last year's ballot measure restoring the state's power to create charter schools throughout Georgia.
But at the state Capitol, the first rule of fight club is that you don't talk about fight club. Those throwing the punches don't want to appear vindictive. Those on the receiving end know that things could get ever so much worse.
This week, it was Barge's duty to go before state lawmakers to explain educational spending in Gov. Nathan Deal's $19.8 billion proposed budget for next year. Unless you had the document in front of you, you would never have known that Deal had shrunk Barge's central office budget from $87 million to $27 million.
The governor had really, really liked that charter school measure.
But rather than point to his bruises, Barge rained praise on Deal for increased spending on classrooms. "I want to thank the governor for investing in education," the superintendent told members of the House and Senate budget committees. Not just once. Not just twice. He and a deputy uttered that phrase – or a variation of it – 10 times over 45 minutes.
Yes, Barge admitted, some of the cuts to his administrative staff will hurt. "We will continue to make our bricks, even though we have less hay to make them with. It just means it may take us a little longer to build that pyramid," Barge said. Though perhaps a metaphor that draws on Israelites, slave labor and Egyptian overseers wasn't the best choice.
In terms of administrative costs, the Department of Education endured the same 3 percent budget cuts endured by other state departments and agencies.
And to be fair, much of that $60 million removed from Barge's central office budget was shifted to other pots in the state education budget – perhaps to make them easier to remove from Barge's control at a later date. All spending on charter schools, for instance. The state education budget now includes funding for a Charter School Commission independent of the school superintendent.
The most obvious evidence that the governor has placed Barge in time-out: The Department of Education had been splitting the costs with Georgia Public Broadcasting for a program in which teachers can access math and science material – created by the Discovery Channel – through the GPB network.
Next year, Barge's budget will be docked for the entire cost – nearly $1 million. But GPB will be given total control of the money.
After his session with state lawmakers, Barge declined to admit that he'd just visited the woodshed. "I don't want to take any kind of assumptions as to what is what. I know that budget cuts could be worse," the school superintendent said. "And the budget is obviously reflective of what's most important – and that's students in the state of Georgia and their education."
The translation from Capitol-speak into English: "Thank you, sir – may I have another?"
But seriously, Georgia has an awkward approach to education. The governor has control over most spending, and the school superintendent is in charge of the bureaucracy that your tax dollars pay for. Both are elected statewide, by slightly different sets of voters.
Yet there are signs that Barge has become more cautious about airing differences with the governor in anticipation of his re-election in 2014.
During his state-of-the-state address last week, the most overlooked portion of Deal's speech dealt with state intervention in cases in which local school systems are faced with the loss of accreditation. Right now, the state can inject itself into local educational matters only when adults – i.e., school board members – are behaving badly.
"It is somewhat ironic that the loss of accreditation can only be based on governance issues and not on substandard academic progress of the school system," the governor said. "Unless this is addressed by state legislation, we will continue to have thousands of Georgia's children trapped in under-performing schools through no fault of their own."
Last year's fight over charter schools centered on local control – whether the state could impose charter schools on local boards of education that don't want them. Charter school proponents won.
But giving state government the power to intervene in school systems that are simply poor-performing would be a far more significant extension of authority than last year's charter school measure. When asked about it, Barge was careful.
"We would need to discuss what that intervention may look like. And who is intervening, and how," he said.

I agree with you most of the time but Jim has a good point on this one. Dr. Barge was correct on the Charter school amendment and Deal (with the help of other legislators) is punishing him for his opposition. It appears to me that Dr. Barge was correct and we are seeing an unelected committee getting more and more power over the money and overruling local elected boards to put schools anywhere they want too with accountability to anyone.

"The already failing students because on the vindictive adults in charge."
I submit that the major cause for the "failing students" is parental neglect. Parents are not involved in their children's' education. Many view school as a baby-sitting service. The undisciplined students make it difficult, if not impossible, to teach them or their classmates. Black students who try to get an education are accused of "acting white" by their black peers.
There are many causes for these "failing students", but the parents bear the chief responsibility.

The charter school bill was a mistake, but it was the will of the people nevertheless. I give Barge a lot of credit for his independent thinking on the issue.
Of course, the independent commission will be used to funnel money to friends of GOP legislators, and friends of Shady Deal too I guess.

Looks like Barge was not the only one beat up on the playground …..Education took a beating
Governor shady deal, not known as a clever or successful businessman.
$24.6 million cut in funding for the state's technical college system
$24.6 million cut in funding for the state's technical college system
$22 million cut in technical school HOPE grants, based on fewer students qualifying
$6.5 million in grants for high-demand programs, such as nursing and commercial truck drivers. Might explane why the cuts…
I smell smoke and asphalt…Look for tsLOST part 2…..
After the regional sales tax for transportation crashed and burned last year, Gov. Nathan Deal said he would set priorities for major road projects.
These are the top donors to Gov. Nathan Deal for the second half of 2012 from the highway construction sector, which includes roadbuilders, engineering firms, paving companies and others.

td: "You libs have to decide what is more important. Giving your children enough money for education or giving free insurance to people that should be able to afford it?
A false dilemma posed with a false hypothesis. Maybe we "libs" are capable of more sophisticated thinking — that is, recognizing that Medicaid recipients can hardly afford private insurance and that there are other alternatives to the limited choices proffered. But, to indulge you with equivalent extremism, this old bachelor chooses the option that will afford him some protection against communicable disease over educating your children. How do you like that "conservative" thinking, td?

Barge did the right thing. The people that voted for a mis worded, misleading amendment were either uninformed, or protecting someone's money. Children's education was not the issue. Deal and his cronies need to remember what that great Yankee Abe Lincoln said, " you can fool some of the people, some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time."

What a State…..
We not only have a sucky, underfunded education budget, we have a power structure that punishes those who notice it.
All the while, we want to redirect precious taxpayer funds to lunacy like a new sports palace..
Did it ever dawn on any of these folks under the Gold Dome that job growth and business relocation follows adequately funded education?
Just think of where we might be if these clowns had concentrated on funding the already mandated smaller class sizes over the last 10 years that they have been in charge. Of course, that would have required qualities like leadership, fortitude and intelligence…so I guess it won't happen here.
January 24th, 2013

Hopefully, there will be way for Barge to get into the Governor's race in 2014. We need a different set of leaders, starting in the Governor's mansion. Barge seems to have a good grasp on leadership and what it takes to run an effective organization on a shoestring.

I agree with you. I hope that he runs, or runs as an Independent…people will vote for him…why, because they are sick of the current roughshod behavior and total disregard for ethics, laws, and cronyism that has overtaken the GA legislators….good luck Mr. Barge.

As usual it is always important to follow the money. Governor Deal was upset that Barge opposed the charter school amendment? Could it be because Barge ungraciously chose to reveal an aspect of the amendment which involved the flow of taxpayers' funds away from local, traditional public schools and into the hands of out-of-state for-profit charter school corporations, many of which were funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars into Georgia supporting the amendment; many of which corporations (and the individuals behind them financially supporting them) were and are providing campaign contributions to members of the Georgia General Assembly; many of which (and Governor Deal surely loves this) will now handsomely profit from the huge infusion of Georgia taxpayer funds as the amendment is implemented? John Barge – a state education official who pulled the curtain back to reveal that the governor's beloved amendment is not about what's best for children but what's best for corporate money interests? Of course he and the department he runs are on the chopping block.
Here is the part of Mr. Barge's statement opposing the amendment which addresses this issue:
"What's more, the constitutional amendment would direct taxpayer dollars into the pockets of out-of-state for-profit charter school companies whose schools perform no better than traditional public schools and locally approved charter schools (and worse, in some cases.)"
Bravo, Mr. Barge! Bravo for telling the truth.
January 24th, 2013
12:36 pm
What a mistake. John Barge thinking he was elected by the voters of Georgia and not Nathan Deal. Perhaps he should try to emulate the Secretary of State and the Attorney General. This is not state government, Superintendent Barge, it is party headquarters and Mr. Deal is the party boss.

It appears that there's a bug in iOS 4.3 where web apps saved to the homescreen run slower than those accessed through Safari. Say what? This was uncovered by the Register (who are generally anti-Apple, but nonetheless have an excellent technical reputation) and it appears that if you save a web app to your homescreen and then launch it, iOS 4.3's nifty new Nitro engine doesn't kick in — but it does if you navigate to the app through Safari. This means that apps that you've saved to your homescreen for easy access (see the Everything iCafe web app) won't run Java as fast.
There are other bugs hitting the saved apps, too:
What's more, such "home screen web apps" can't use various web caching systems, including the HTML5 Application Cache, which means they can't be cached to run offline. And they aren't rendered using Apple's newer "asynchronous mode". They're saddled with the old "synchronous mode", which means means they don't quite look as good.
Despite The Register's insistence that this is a conspiracy by Apple, at this point I'm far more willing to call it a bug, and wait to see if Apple fixes it promptly.

The New York Post's Linda Stasi quotes a highly upset "high placed Current staffer" in a story today on the fallout of the channel being sold to Al Jazeera. The story notes that part-owner Al Gore did not show up at the first all-staff meeting since the sale to discuss the future (or lack thereof) of the cable newtwork:
"Of course Al didn't show up," said one high placed Current staffer. "He has no credibility.
"He's supposed to be the face of clean energy and just sold [the channel] to very big oil, the emir of Qatar! Current never even took big oil advertising—and Al Gore, that bulls***ter sells to the emir?"
The meeting, while not contentious, was, according to staffers who spoke on the condition of anonymity, miserable.
The displeasure with Gore among the staff was thick enough to cut with a scimitar.
"We all know now that Al Gore is nothing but a bulls***ter," said the staffer bluntly.
We do stories on the tax code, and he sells the network before the tax code kicked in?
"Al was always lecturing us about green. He kept his word about green all right—as in cold, hard cash!"
The unnamed staffer's critique is pretty much the same as the one I made last week. Nice to know we are on the same page.

The Wichita Falls Wildcats (10-2-3) needed a shootout for a third-straight game, but emerged victorious on Friday, as they beat the Corpus Christi IceRays (4-7-4), 2-1.David Zevnik made 38 stops in regulation and overtime, plus another six in the eight-round shootout to earn his fifth win of the season. Jordan Jancze scored the Wildcats' lone goal in the contest, while Ben Kucera picked up the decisive tally in the shootout.The IceRays got on the board first, courtesy of a power-play tally. Tony Roisum threw a shot towards the net that was deflected through the legs of Zevnik to make it 1-0 at 15:23 of the period.The Wildcats wasted no time tying the score however, taking advantage of a fortuitous bounce to level the affair. Matt Koch sent a simple dump-in to the offensive zone. With IceRays' goalie Ben Myers out of his net to play the puck, it took an awkward carom off the boards right out to Jordan Jancze at the bottom of the circle, who stuffed it home. It was Jancze's sixth goal of the year, with the assist representing Koch's first North American Hockey League point.The second period was marred by penalties aplenty for both teams, with twelve total infractions called in the frame, although neither team was able to cash in on their power play opportunities.Neither team could find a goal in the third period nor the ensuing overtime session, so the game headed to a shootout.Josh Haverstrom and Rudy Junda both found the back of the net for Wichita Falls in the first two rounds of the shootout, but Joe Costello and Martin Hojbjerg scored for the IceRays to force extra rounds. In the eighth round, Kucera stepped up and froze Myers before slipping a sneaky shot through the five-hole. Then, Corpus Christi's Jake Durflinger could not find a way to beat Zevnik, giving the Wildcats the win.These two teams will meet again on Saturday, with puck drop scheduled for 7:05 p.m.Scoring Summary1st PeriodCorpus Christi - Maurin Bouvet (power play) (Tony Roisum, Jason Lem) 15:23Wichita Falls - Jordan Jancze (Matt Koch) 16:592nd PeriodNo Scoring3rd PeriodNo ScoringOvertimeNo ScoringShootoutWichita Falls Corpus ChristiSHOOTER SCOREJosh Haverstrom yesRudy Junda yesKyle Bauman noColin Staub noTyler Ledford noWill Vosejpka noJordan Jancze noBen Kucera yes

The Man Who Inspired Jobs
By CHRISTOPHER BONANOS
Published: October 7, 2011
IN the memorials to Steven P. Jobs this week, Apple's co-founder was compared with the world's great inventor-entrepreneurs: Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell. Yet virtually none of the obituaries mentioned the man Jobs himself considered his hero, the person on whose career he explicitly modeled his own: Edwin H. Land, the genius domus of Polaroid Corporation and inventor of instant photography.
Steven P. Jobs, 1955-2011: Apple's Visionary Redefined Digital Age (October 6, 2011)

Op-Ed Contributor: Against Nostalgia (October 6, 2011)
Editorial | Appreciations: Steven Paul Jobs (October 7, 2011)
Room For Debate: Career Counselor: Bill Gates or Steve Jobs?
Land, in his time, was nearly as visible as Jobs was in his. In 1972, he made the covers of both Time and Life magazines, probably the only chemist ever to do so. (Instant photography was a genuine phenomenon back then, and Land had created the entire medium, once joking that he'd worked out the whole idea in a few hours, then spent nearly 30 years getting those last few details down.) And the more you learn about Land, the more you realize how closely Jobs echoed him.
Both built multibillion-dollar corporations on inventions that were guarded by relentless patent enforcement. (That also kept the competition at bay, and the profit margins up.) Both were autodidacts, college dropouts (Land from Harvard, Jobs from Reed) who more than made up for their lapsed educations by cultivating extremely refined taste. At Polaroid, Land used to hire Smith College's smartest art-history majors and send them off for a few science classes, in order to create chemists who could keep up when his conversation turned from Maxwell's equations to Renoir's brush strokes.
Most of all, Land believed in the power of the scientific demonstration. Starting in the 60s, he began to turn Polaroid's shareholders' meetings into dramatic showcases for whatever line the company was about to introduce. In a perfectly art-directed setting, sometimes with live music between segments, he would take the stage, slides projected behind him, the new product in hand, and instead of deploying snake-oil salesmanship would draw you into Land's World. By the end of the afternoon, you probably wanted to stay there.
Three decades later, Jobs would do exactly the same thing, except in a black turtleneck and jeans. His admiration for Land was open and unabashed. In 1985, he told an interviewer, "The man is a national treasure. I don't understand why people like that can't be held up as models: This is the most incredible thing to be — not an astronaut, not a football player — but this."
The two men met at least twice. John Sculley, the Apple C.E.O. who eventually clashed with Jobs, was there for one meeting, when Jobs made a pilgrimage to Land's labs in Cambridge, Mass., and wrote in his autobiography that both men described a singular experience: "Dr. Land was saying: 'I could see what the Polaroid camera should be. It was just as real to me as if it was sitting in front of me, before I had ever built one.' And Steve said: 'Yeah, that's exactly the way I saw the Macintosh.' He said, If I asked someone who had only used a personal calculator what a Macintosh should be like, they couldn't have told me. There was no way to do consumer research on it, so I had to go and create it and then show it to people and say, 'Now what do you think?'"
The worldview he was describing perfectly echoed Land's: "Market research is what you do when your product isn't any good." And his sense of innovation: "Every significant invention," Land once said, "must be startling, unexpected, and must come into a world that is not prepared for it. If the world were prepared for it, it would not be much of an invention." Thirty years later, when a reporter asked Jobs how much market research Apple had done before introducing the iPad, he responded, "None. It isn't the consumers' job to know what they want."
Land, like Jobs, was a perfectionist-aesthete, exhaustively obsessive about product design. The amount he spent on research and development, on buffing out flaws, sometimes left Wall Street analysts discouraging the purchase of Polaroid stock, because they thought the company wasn't paying enough attention to the bottom line. (When a shareholder once buttonholed Land about that, he responded, "The bottom line is in heaven.")
His supreme achievement, the folding SX-70 camera of the 1970s, was as covetable a luxury object in its moment as the iPod was 30 years later. At the touch of a hand, it collapsed down to a flat, clean pocketable prism, beautifully finished in brushed chrome and leather. One source says he spent $2 billion — and those are 1960s and early-1970s dollars — on developing the camera and its film. Jobs saw, and Jobs understood: "Not only was he one of the great inventors of our time but, more important, he saw the intersection of art and science and business and built an organization to reflect that."
And Land was, like Jobs in 1985, all but forced out of the company he'd built. In the mid-'70s, Land threw himself behind a doomed project called Polavision. It was an instant 8-millimeter home-movie system, and a gorgeous bit of technology, and it also took more than a decade to get out of the labs and into stores. By the time it did, it was dead on arrival, clobbered by Sony's burgeoning Betamax video cameras.

I'm not going to lie, this has happened to me as well. And I don't know why. A few weeks ago my partner and I hopped back onto our team so we had to work our personal rating back up. After over a hundred games it had equalized to the team rating. Then the following week, our personals had dropped about 8 points from the team rating inexplicably. I sent in a gm ticket and the e-mail response I received detailed the method of gaining arena points. I wish they actually read the tickets half the time.

Jesse Ventura`s the man! He`s absolutely correct in saying we should question our govt.Remember,they`re supposed to work for us,of the people,by the people,for the people.Somewhere along the line the purity of serving in govt. for love of country went out the window and was replaces by greed and addiction to power. Our politicians are a disgrace but they keep getting re- elected because the foolish public is so easily swayed by campaigns that portray the candidates in a favorable light through commercial after commercial, and dont forget the media who love all things liberal.They purposefully withhold anything damning about the democratic candidate, even if it`s important for the people to know(Benghazi),yet will take 50 year old 3rd person gossip as truth and paste on the front page that Romney bullied someone in high school! What infuriates me more than news which tries to influence me through censorship,omissions and lies is the fact that there are so many stupid people out there that buy into it.

Charmaine's Painting Projects Before & After
Good Questions Revisited
Back in May, Charmaine sent in some photos for a good question asking about painting the wood trim in her living room and possibly all of her kitchen cabinets. The Apartment Therapy readers came through with lots of advice and opinion and now, Charmaine comes through with wonderful "after" photos and info on her project...
She writes: Hi AT readers! A few months ago, I posted questions regarding painting wood trim. I woud like to share what we have done so far. We did paint most of the oak wood, took down the living room chair rail, painted the kitchen cabinets white , changed the pulls and painted the living and dining room walls. We left the stairs and the dining room hutch as is for now and still have to get rid of the flouncy thing in the kitchen. We ended up hiring a professional painter to do the job and we are very happy with the result. We are now enjoying our new home. Thank you everyone for taking the time to answer my questions!
It looks great - thanks for the followup, Charmaine!
Charmaine's Original Question:
43 Comments
Looks good Charmaine. Wood trim and cabinets like that kind of skiv me.
Wow Charmaine, it looks so much better, especially the kitchen countertops (they are the same ones, aren't they?). A job well done, and thanks for posting the "after" shots to your original post.
It looks great! The backsplash and counters look much better against the white. I especially approve of leaving the stairs and hutch unpainted. Now they add a needed pop of warmth your otherwise very "cool" space.
Nice work! It looks really good! I wish I would just stop dallying around and just do this in my house, which is full of shiny oak.
Yes this looks so much better. There was just too much wood before. Now it looks warm and inviting and the granite really pops. Great job!
I usually don't like people to paint over wood in good condition, but in this case I think it was a big improvement. Your kitchen looks really sweet and charming now and so much less dated--and I love the Amy Butler roman shade. :)Did you make that? Good call on taking down the chair molding, too. I might've just painted it, but the clean look with it gone is nice, too.
Wow. I'm thoroughly impressed. What a GREAT change, and finally, (at least in the kitchen) it really was just paint.
I'm seldom this impressed with before and afters!
Fantastic look in the kitchen! Your cabinet pulls are darling and look great with the paint color. Love love love it!
Kudos Charmaine. You've knocked 20 years off the age of those rooms!
Fantastic! Great job.
Love the couch in the after photos...where is it from?
Wow...I had to go back and forth between the before and after to make sure you really only painted. It looks like you spent a lot more money. Awesome job!
don't hesitate for a second to paint over those stairs too.. I'd stain just the treads (the part you step on) deeper, (walnut) and EVERYTHING else white... spindles, railings. Immediate classic update and that hideous orange/yellow dated oak is gone.
Oh, SOOOOO much better!!! It's remarkable how nice the original backsplash and counters now look with the painted cabinets - in the before picture, they didn't necessarily look redeemable.
I think you're on a roll - I would paint the built-in in the living room and the stair trim and railings also!
Indeed, such an improvement! I don't know if I'd have gone with white for the living and dining rooms but what you did by removing the chair rail and reducing that dated oak (which is not a bad thing in and of itself but it was just too much and probably cheapish stuff anyway) and getting rid of that dinky chandelier in the dining room for the current one helps there too.
I can't see by the after shots but did you replace the lighting in the kitchen? Because if you did, I was going to say, ditch those fixtures as they are so cliche'd now and so common.
Gorgeous! I'd live there in a heartbeat!
Amazing - I also went back and forth to make sure all that changed was the paint color!
(I'd also like to know where the couch in your living room is from - love it!)
Great makeover!! Its unbelievable that the countertop and backsplash are the same in the before and after! They look infinitely better.
I'm torn on the staircase and buffet. (I have a very similar situation in my house and can't decide either) I think the oak is wrong, but I'm not sure painting it white is the right decision either. I would either paint it or possible stain it in a much darker finish to ground the space. I think that could look really modern and fabulous.
It looks like the living room / dining room is actually a pale blue...not white.
And that negative commenter is crazy i think. The new cabinets are much, much, much better than that dated oak.
Looks great! I agree with the other posters that the stairs and hutch should be a darker wood stain (my vote is for walnut).
I like the kitchen, but i think the all white living room is a bit much, I feel like the wood trim could have been left in that room, maybe painted another color. However, I am impressed that this looks like a real makeover and not something from a magazine!
A lovely change. I recently painted my oak kitchen cabinets too. We both did the right thing! Enjoy your *new* kitchen!
Definitely updated the kitchen! I love the rug in your living room, where is that from? I really like the style in your home. Good choice painting the trim, it was doing the room no favors.
SUCH an improvement. Thanks for sharing!
Nice job! I'm glad you got rid of the chair rail (and rembered to paint/replace the registers too), it looks so much better and much, much cleaner.
it looks so much better! i strongly dislike wood that has red undertones and love white kitchens, so for me this is the ultimate renovation. such a big change for such a simple change. i love it!
What a difference some paint makes.
I want to know where the couch is from too!
gorgeous! i agree with everyone that it looks like you did a lot more than paint and change hardware! and i agree you should keep on with the white trim/stairs.
Charmaine -
Beuatiful. What color cabinets did you do? Can you provide a step by step how to? I want to do the same with my cherry cabinets.
What material was used?
Inspiring! Thanks for sharing.
Kitchen is an improvement, but I think the trim in the living room added a nice bit of detail. Perhaps it could've been kept and painted in an accent color or stained darker (I'd do the same for the stairs too). Now the living room looks kind of blank.
Great job!
FANTASTIC!!! And yes, I am yelling. It is just that good. Keep having fun with your decorating - it's always a work in progress and WOW what progress you have made. Great job!
I agree with MatchJames - I was going to suggest that but he beat me to it. Lovely lovely over all. I think kitchens are look so much better in white anyway.
Beautiful job! Like a few others, I wouldn't hesitate to either stain dark brown or paint the hutch and the stair rail. Can't wait to see the next lot of pictures! I love that this 'before' and 'after' didn't involve a very expensive total kitchen re-fit.
Kudos to you -- this is fabulous. And the living room looks great! Painting out the trim makes a huge impact; it really calms and lightens the space.
As others have noted, you might next consider doing something with the stairs and dining built-in. Stain or paint in a darker tone would be nice.
Oh WOW, thanks everyone!
To answer your questions,
-the couch is from a local design store but is manufactured by southern furniture. i really love it and is very well made!
-yes, it is the original granite
- i did make the roman shade (special thanks to Jenny of Pearl Street Interiors for the turorial!)
- the paint is BM atrium white for the trim and cabinets and iced cube silver for the living/dining room walls
- the rug is a home goods find
-Guinness, we ended up hiring a painter. He first cleaned the cabinets with tsp then applied liquid deglosser. I guess he wasn't satisfied with is so he sanded the cabinets as well. He then used oil based Kiltz primer (he used mostly his brush and roller for larger surfaces). He only did 1 coat of the paint for the inside and the base of the cabinets but applied 2 coats for the outside. He did an amazing job and he was very thorough. Oh, he used purdy brush for paint.
-ciddyguy, i intentionally excluded the fixtures in the picture because i haven't replaced them, I will though eventually.
I am seriously considering painting/staining the hutch and stairs but might do the bedrooms first(more oak!).
I love AT and thanks guys for all the input and nice comments!
Love the look, and like chesterandtrudy I am thinking of taking the plunge myself with my own tacky oak. Did you remove cabinets before painting? Sand beforehand?
normally I'm sort of meh about white kitchens and prefer wood but this time I think the white is a huge improvement.
Really nicely done! Kudos for not ripping the cabinets out, throwing them in a dumpster and buying new ones. Better for your wallet AND the environment. Way to go.
Wow! Congratulations on your marvelous transformation! Great job. Looks so fresh and clean. I'm amazed at the amount of work you've done. It must have taken forever! Can you come paint my apartment?
Glad I came upon this article. My parent's 20 year old place is oak all over. I'm trying to convince them to paint the trim and cabinets white. Now I have some before and after pics I can show them!

This is going to be on your finger for the next 30 – 60 YEARS!! ….and I'm going to try to help you pick the right ring. There is something beautifully symbolic about the tradition of exchanging rings to symbolize a long-lasting commitment to your partner. Whether you go for ultra-traditional or opt for a beer can tab, the story is the same. For some, engagement and wedding rings are a status symbol, but for an environmentalist, eco-friendly wedding rings can show commitment to sustainability, protection of the environment, fair trade and conservation of the earth's resources. The ring you choose for yourself and your fiance says a lot about you.
For both women and men's rings, recycled metals are where it's at. The pollution generated from mining gold and silver can be avoided if you go the recycled route. If you desire a stone, conflict free diamonds are a must (available from Canada) and there are many gemstones out there that are just as beautiful and not as tainted. Cultured diamonds and gemstones are the most ecologically friendly gems, since they are not mined out of the earth, but grown in a lab. And don't forget buying your ring used! …estate jewelry can be an amazing eco-friendly alternative.

5 Rocket Stocks to Buy for a March Rally
UnitedHealth Group
Health insurer UnitedHealth Group (UNH) is one of the biggest health care names in the country, covering the health policies of more than 77 million Americans. Scale matters in the health insurance business, and UNH has no shortage of scale. After all, when you insure one-in-four Americans, you've got considerable pricing power over medical providers. That, in turn, drives cost-conscious corporate benefits departments to turn to UNH's network for their employees.
Increasingly, UNH is earning its keep not by insuring Americans' health but instead by administering employers' self-insured policies. That's a very good thing for UnitedHealth because it gives the firm a consistent revenue stream without exposure to the possibility of mispricing policy risks. Instead, employers bear the burden of costs while UNH gives them access to a pre-existing network infrastructure. That's an attractive tradeoff for insurers following recent health care reforms.
Some health care reform legislation stands to benefit UNH more directly, though. One big benefit is increased Medicaid expansions that will enable UNH to earn bigger subsidies for patient care. With a solid financial footing and rising analyst sentiment this week, we're betting on shares.Omnicom Group 2013 is panning out to be a strong year for Omnicom Group (OMC). Since the first trading day of January, shares of the $15 billion advertising firm have climbed 14.5%, besting the broad market by a wide margin. Omnicom is unique in that it's a publicly traded collection of advertising and marketing agencies. The firm serves more than 5,000 clients worldwide, creating ad spots during the Super Bowl, on regular TV lineups, in print and online. Some of the most prominent ad agencies in the world, including DDB and BBDO, fall under the Omnicom umbrella, factors that give OMC a big advantage in a saturated industry where reputation counts. Advertising is one space where customers are willing to go with pricier vendors if the level of creativity justifies the price tag. That makes human capital extremely important for OMC. If it loses its talent, it loses its edge. While that makes talent retention a high priority, stellar reputations at OMC's agencies make hanging onto skilled salespeople and creatives that much less difficult.

Becoming a Pharmacy Owner
Pharmacy used to be the study of choice for those who could not decide between commerce and medicine as a career. It remains the best of both worlds: provide medical assistance while running a business. However, many graduates nowadays are attracted by the high salaries offered by the big pharmacy chains.
America, land of the free: have we forgotten the freedom of being our own boss?
The "old-fashioned" independent community pharmacy is still very much around. There were about 24,000 independently owned pharmacies in the United States in 2002. Together, they employed over 62,000 pharmacists. This shows that the special brand of service and community feeling which can only be provided by the local corner pharmacy is still appreciated! For instance, you could offer tailor-made products or disease management. About 62% of independent pharmacies provided a blood pressure monitoring service and 41% gave diabetes workshops to their patients in 2002.
Many independent community pharmacies are a single pharmacy owned by the pharmacist who runs it. Others are a network of two or more stores owned by an individual or small group. If the store count is less than four stores, the pharmacy is generally considered independent. Four or more stores are seen as a pharmacy chain. However, small chains of four or more stores can react just as fast as a traditional independent pharmacy if the owner(s) want that. Regardless of how many pharmacies they might own, independent pharmacists are known to invest in the community they serve.
It is most rewarding to own an independent pharmacy business.
What if you could implement your own ideas on how best to serve your clients: which specialty services to offer, what niche to fill in the community? Imagine you could change what you like without needing to consult a chain of command. Accept the challenge, buy a pharmacy and apply yourself as an entrepreneur, not just as a (clinical) pharmacist. Take charge and get involved in merchandising and marketing. Manage your pharmacy as you see fit. If the pharmacy consists of two or more outlets, you might start off as assistant manager. Even so, your input will have more direct impact on policy than at a big chain. With ownership come demands particularly on your time, but the satisfaction grows exponentially!
How does one get such an opportunity? Most independent community pharmacy owners are nearing retirement (over half are over 50 years old). They might decide to have someone else take over the management side of the business or sell their business upon retirement. Many of these owners would like to train a young pharmacist to take over the business from them.
