►Get the full story behind this epic feat! https://www.redbull.com/solareclipseStep on the highline with Alex Mason as he goes the distance beneath one of the most spectacular solar eclipses we'll ever witness. Sketchy Andy and slackline sensation Alex Mason booked it to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, when they caught wind of this epic natural phenomenons. Together with National Geographic photographer and explorer Keith Ladzinski, they captured a once in a lifetime photo of Alex doing what he does best.While total solar eclipses aren't super rare — there will be 15 of them around the world between 2009 and 2028 (roughly one every 18 months) — the combination of this particular total eclipse happening from coast to coast across the entire United States in the height of summer during prime daylight hours is incredibly uncommon. The last time a solar eclipse was visible coast to coast in the United States was 99 years ago and today's eclipse was the first total solar eclipse to be seen only on American soil since 1776. Plus, from any given spot on Earth, a total eclipse is observable once every 375 years. As we said, this was once in a lifetime._Experience the world of Red Bull like you have never seen it before.

Do you want to sell your own music on the web and need a way to take
electronic payments from your customers without the high costs involved
with a merchant account?
You can sell your own music online. The following services all allow you to take credit card payments without the need for a merchant account because they handle the credit card payments on their own merchant account...
PayPal is probably the web's most
popular and well known payment processor and one used by many
independent music artists to take payments on their websites.
PayPal allows you to take payments from other PayPal users and also allows you to take credit card payments, even if the buyer has no PayPal account.
PayPal then takes a cut of each transaction as its fee for the service it offers.
The one great benefit of PayPal is that you need a merchant account to take credit card payments. PayPal also offers you easy to use tools to take payments on your site.
PayPal has become a huge company and as always with huge companies there will be a bit of nag and hassle. This is to be expected.
Unfortunately there aren't many competitors for PayPal which means for now it remains one of the only few viable options for taking electronic payments when you sell your own music.
I suggest you always offer PayPal as a payment method because many PayPal users prefer to use PayPal for their payments on the web.
Now, while PayPal handles your payment processing it will not handle your delivery. You can do this yourself, though there are also other services available which will handle your payment processing and also the delivery of your product for you.
You'll discover that many of the services integrate PayPal while others make use of their own merchant accounts to process your payments.
Here are a few other services you may want to take a look at...
is a free service which allows you to create a Web profile, distribute
and sell your own music and collect e-mail addresses for your mailing
You need a PayPal Premier or Business account before you can sort your music on Bandcamp.
I suggest you take a look at this page on the Bandcamp web site for more information on how payments are handled.
I think Bandcamp is one of the best services available for independent music artists who want to sell digital downloads of their music.
Nimbit works on the freemium model where you get the basic services and tools for free and special features at a monthly or yearly rate.
The free account allows you to sell your own music and also hard goods. Nimbit will take care off payment processing and also fulfillment of your orders and take 20% commission on each transaction.
You can use Nimbit Online Merchant Table to sell on MySpace and blogs, and Nimbit MyStore to sell on Facebook. The free account does not however allow you to give away your music for free as you can with Bandcamp.
The 20% commission is higher than the rate you'll get when you use Bandcamp and PayPal micro-payments.
So, I suggest you only take a look at Nimbit should you want to sell more than just digital downloads as it allows you to sell hard goods.
Consider the retail commissions carefully and compare it to the deal CD baby (see below) offers you to see which suits you best.
CDBaby.com allows you to sell both digital
downloads and CDs via the web. They will also take care all your
fulfillment for you. You simply need to upload your digital tracks and
send them your CDs.
In terms of selling music they offer basically the same kind of services as Nimbit with slightly different pricing. They take 25% of each digital download transaction and $4 for every CD transaction.
CD Baby can also make your CDs available in brick-and-mortar stores as special order items and distribute your digital downloads via other major online marketplace such as Amazon MP3 and iTunes.
So, there you have it! You now know a few good options to help you sell your own music on the web without the need for a merchant account.
Rest assured — your e-mail address is totally secure.
I promise to use it only to send you The Renegade Report.

TTP Claims Attack On Karachi Airport
Security forces said Monday they have relaunched a military operation at Karachi airport as gunfire resumed several hours after they announced the end of a militant siege that left 24 dead. Fresh gunfire was reported from the airport Monday morning and a loud explosion was also heard across its premises. Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
Security forces said that the intensity of the explosion heard across the airport was still uncertain. The initial assault at the Jinnah International Airport began late Sunday and raged until dawn, when the military said that all 10 militants had been killed. Equipped with suicide vests, grenades and rocket launchers, they had battled security forces in one of the most brazen attacks in years in Pakistan's biggest city. Among the 14 victims were security personnel and four airport workers. We carried out this attack on the Karachi airport and it is a message to the Pakistani government that we are still alive to react over the killings of innocent people in bomb attacks on their villages," TTP spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said. Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was revenge for the army's air strikes in areas along the Afghan border where the insurgents are based. Another three rocket launchers, five suicide jackets, 15 petrol bombs and five SMGs recovered from the airport. Doctor Seemi Jamali of the JPMC said so far 18 bodies have been brought to the hospital.
Chaudhry Nisar has summoned a report of the incident from IG Sindh Police. The minister commended security forces on fighting terrorists during the crisis that enveloped the airport in Karachi. Chaudhry Nisar condoled with family members of those killed in the terrorist attack. Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan strongly condemned the attack on the airport. Imran Khan said government's policy towards tackling terrorism has failed. Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said the attack on the airport was a matter of grave concern. An AFP reporter at the scene said gunshots could be heard inside the airport and that rangers and elite commandos were rushing inside. "We have relaunched the operation and called in additional troops," said Sibtain Rizvi, spokesman for the Rangers paramilitary force.
A military operation was relaunched at the airport as gunfire resumed several hours after the army announced the end of a militant siege that left 24 dead. President Mamnoon commended the role of security forces during the operation against attackers. President Mamnoon Hussain condemned the attack on the airport saying the cowardly action could not overpower the government's will to counter terrorism. A search operation was conducted by the security forces in the early hours of Monday morning during which five sub-machine guns (SMGs), three suicide jackets, two rocket launchers and 12 petrol bombs were recovered. Director General of Sindh Rangers, Maj-Gen Rizwan Akhtar addressing a press conference claimed that according to the initial reports, unidentified foreign militants appeared to be involved in the attack. At least 23 people have been reportedly killed, including security personnel. Ten militants were also among the dead. ISPR spokesman Asim Bajwa said the militants "were confined to two areas and eliminated." Bajwa said weapons, live ammunition, including RPGs, were recovered from the militants. Bajwa said that they were wearing large packs on their bodies.
The ISPR spokesman said that Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif "congratulated participating troops for a well coordinated, successful operation eliminating all militants". He also said that Raheel Sharif "paid rich tribute to all shaheed and injured for their supreme sacrifice". Some eight to 10 attackers were said to have engaged security forces in a gunbattle. Earlier, Pakistan Army troops were called in to deal with the situation and troops from Malir Cantonment have been dispatched, while police commandos and Karachi Rangers are assisting. A huge explosion was heard over two hours into the attack. A second large explosion was heard near the airport workshop. A third massive explosion was heard a further 30-40 minutes in. Huge clouds of smoke continue to dominate the skyline. Intermittent firing taking place at the airport, while large plumes of smoke were seen over the cargo terminal. One plane each of PIA and AirBlue, and a cargo plane of a foreign company were reported to have been damaged.
A hand grenade attack was also carried out on the Isphani Hanger. Suicide bombers were reportedly part of the militant squad that has infiltrated the airport. Staff is being rescued by security personnel and moved to safer areas. Rescue teams are being allowed in after being checked thoroughly. Passengers have been evacuated and moved to a secure location. Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif called DG Rangers Sindh and asked him to ensure the safety of passengers. All flight operations at Jinnah Terminal have been suspended and flights have been diverted to other airports. Pakistan correspondent for the Daily Telegraph Rob Crilly reported that he had spoken to MQM leader Farooq Sattar and stated that, "He sounds calm but understandably concerned about being stuck on plane filled with aviation fuel." -dawn

Managing Your Distress in the Aftermath of a Shooting
Many parents are struggling to help their kids through these events and may be wondering what to do. Here are helpful resources:
BY KIM K. METCALF • Read this article at the UNLV News Center
From the earliest days of our republic, we have believed that education was critical to our democracy. Our founders knew that the health of our country, the wellbeing of the citizenry — and particularly the strength of the democracy — would be built on a well-educated population. Though disagreements have been fierce regarding who is to be educated, how much education they need, and whether to measure its value in economic growth, individual growth, or societal growth, fundamentally, we have always agreed that educating our citizens is important.
With this belief in mind, in 1917 our country began a unique experiment: We required education to be available to all of our citizens for free. Now, after a century of well-intended effort and research by countless experts, 17 presidents and their respective agendas, and 50 congresses armed with the education reform du jour, frankly, we're still experimenting. We still haven't figured out how to make our educational system work consistently for all children.
How can this be? The past several decades have been filled with announcements that THE new idea — the unequivocal "fix" — for public education has been discovered. "If only we allow parents more choice in selecting their child's school," or "find better ways to hold teachers and schools accountable," or "develop better tests," or "standardize curriculum," or "integrate more technology," or "expand states' authority." The list of efforts is long.
Yet, there is very little evidence that these initiatives, individually or collectively, have done much to improve educational outcomes or equity. Why have these efforts been so fruitless?
Let's look back for a moment.
Nearly all of these reform approaches are grounded on concepts codified in a single policy document: A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Education Reform. Often credited as the catalyst for a pivotal shift in public education policy, the genuinely innovative concepts in A Nation at Risk changed the way our country, and much of the western world, thought about and approached educating its citizenry.
This genuinely groundbreaking set of ideas was released in — 1983. The same year Motorola unveiled the first hand-held mobile telephone, aptly named "The Brick" for its weight, shape, and size. In the years since, future-focused innovators have pushed the boundaries of technology and engineering in ways that were only vaguely imagined, if imagined at all, by those who clamored to get their cutting edge "Brick."
Over that same period, the education and policy communities have intensely focused on refining the original concepts presented in A Nation at Risk. From America 2000 in 1991 to No Child Left Behind in 2001 to our most current iteration, Every Student Succeeds, each plan promised to overhaul education from bottom to top. And, fundamental to these reforms, was the perpetual quest to identify best practices.For 35 years, literally billions of dollars have been invested in massive efforts to find teachers, schools, and states that seemed to be performing better than others, determine what it was they were doing that might explain this, and then implement (or impose) these best practices more broadly.
The problem with best practices is that, by nature, they're always out of date.
They represent the "best" of what was being done in some place and at some time in the past. At most, they improve achievement of yesterday's goals; at worst, they actively promote the status quo by continually looking backward rather than forward.
To meet the needs of students in our rapidly evolving world, we must set our sights beyond settling for the best we once knew or even know now. The problems, issues, and needs of yesterday may no longer be relevant, so even the best strategies known to address them may have little consequence to the world of tomorrow. To achieve tomorrow's outcomes, we must set our sights on developing the next practicesnecessary to serve the future generations and the issues they will face.
Since the College of Education's inception in the very early days of UNLV's history, one of its major objectives has been to educate and prepare high-quality teachers to serve in Nevada's schools. But educating our state's educators is far from the college's only purpose.
Our faculty have always been engaged in future-focused research to inform policymaking and validate new professional approaches for a new era of students. Notably, research and methods stemming from the Silver State today have intrinsic benefits for far more than just Nevadans.
Many have noted what the a June 22 New York Times piece recently featured: Las Vegas is the future. The population of Southern Nevada today — in terms of race, ethnicity, gender and age — is nearly identical to projections of U.S. demographics in 40 years. In essence, Nevada's present is America's future.
For the College of Education, our community provides a "living laboratory" in which to create, research, evaluate, and cultivate the newest strategies — the next practices — that will educate future generations… Made in Nevada, shared from coast to coast and beyond.
Challenging the status quo, our faculty and students have accepted the task to usher in change. Pioneering new research and testing new methods to achieve our nation's grand promise of equitable education for all citizens is our mission. From studying the benefits of rigorous early childhood education in a fully-inclusive setting, like the Lynn Bennett Early Childhood Development Center, to developing more effective ways to use virtual reality in educator preparation, as in our Interaction and Media Sciences Lab, or improving the use of real-time data to adapt and improve instruction and learning, as in our Metacognition and Motivation in Advanced Learning Technologies Lab, our faculty's research and findings are shifting the way we, and our peers, approach education and educator preparation.
This focus is bringing UNLV national acclaim as a leader in developing practical solutions to future educational challenges. The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) recently featured UNLV as one of four colleges of education leading innovative research partnership programs with their community's preK-12 schools. The Abriendo Caminos/Opening Pathways program—a UNLV initiative to add more teachers of color to the pipeline—was chosen by the U.S. Department of Education from more than 90 applicants as a focus project for the 2016 Teach to Lead Summit. As a result, we are creating actionable plans for school districts to begin implementing the program in their own, increasingly diverse, schools.
UNLV's role as education innovators is anchored in being unanchored … We politely refuse to be tied down by what has been established as"the best." Exactly where this takes us remains to be seen, but knowing there is always more to research, more to study, and new answers to be found, will be what drives us into the future. We will always strive for what's better than the world's presumed "best."

Obama White House on press access: a Nixonian quality
EDITORIAL On Media Access to President Obama's Fundraisers
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, October 25, 2011
The Obama White House's restrictions on media access to its fundraising events makes a mockery of its claim to be the most transparent administration in history.
If anything, there is almost a Nixonian quality to the level of control, paranoia - and lack of credibility - this White House has demonstrated on the issue of media access to President Obama's fundraisers.
Bay Area reporters will not be allowed inside the W Hotel today when the president meets with hundreds of contributors paying $7,500 or more to attend. Only Washington-based journalists were allowed in the pool - continuing a disturbing trend by this White House to severely limit access to fundraisers. Even former President George W. Bush, hardly a champion of transparency, allowed local reporters to cover his fundraising events.
Fundraisers are not private events in this post-Watergate era. Contributions are a matter of public record, and the public has a right to know what is being said to and by the president. Local journalists are better positioned than their Beltway brethren to recognize who is there - and why.

The White House press office seems to have missed the transparency memo. Earlier this spring, it threatened to blacklist The Chronicle's Carla Marinucci from future pools after she broke what the White House claimed was an unwritten rule against print reporters shooting video. It threatened further retaliation if the paper reported on the threat - which it did. Incredibly, the White House press office denied making the threats. Now it has cut all local reporters out of the pool.
Most transparent administration in history? We'll see. Right now, we'd settle for straight answers and the opportunity to do our jobs.

What is Civility?bsi
What is Civility?
Within my feeling, civility usually means activities and phrases that embrace politeness, reasonableness, recognize and courtesy. It displays perform within just the direction within just which folks relate toward just about every other, be it within places of work, faculties, political functions or social functions. It encompasses behaviors in between men and women, which conforms in direction of the social manner and cultural values that are in just tandem with the civil tradition, as whilst, it is a simple concept of culture and legislation (Reagle, 2010).
As a result, it is a habits or manner of carry out that respects other human beings's legal rights and human dignity. Civility is, nonetheless, diminishing at an alarming selling price. This place of affairs is predominantly attributable toward the in depth distinction inside of thoughts or assessments. It is much too brought on via distinctions within just interest, for case in point, inside of athletics, wherein enthusiasts of opposing golf equipment detest each and every other based mostly upon the distinctions within just their faithful allegiance.Within politics, civility as well appears towards diminish. Discrepancies inside strategies consist of built belief leaders shout at each and every other. Some hurl insults at their competition and buy engaged within just numerous other functions of disrespect. At faculties, academics, much too, can range upon how toward manage sure information main in direction of the unlucky crisis of incivility or diminishing civility. Some protect against each and every other, create unwell-inspired accusations towards many others, and other people buy included inside of functions of impropriety. In spite of the prevailing region of civility, anyone must recognize that dissimilarities inside critiques or Plans are unavoid

Since IBM (NYSE:IBM) last split its stock in May of 1999, it has reduced the number of outstanding shares by 46% - from 1.8 billion shares (split adjusted) at the end of 1998 to just less than 1 billion shares in June 2014. As shown on the chart below, this started with a share repurchase of $7 billion in 1999, has averaged more than $10 billion per year, peaked with almost $19 billion in 2007, and resulted in an overall IBM investment of $156 billion over fifteen years. This has all been done as IBM says in its annual reports since 2007 to "return value to the shareholders by reducing shares outstanding." Has it?
Using IBM's 1999 market value as the yardstick to measure return on investment, the answer would seem to be a resounding no; IBM's market value is 6% less. The answer would seem to be that these repurchases are keeping IBM's stock from - to use a layman's descriptive but applicable term - tanking.
Recently, there has been a flurry of articles suggesting there is a shift in thinking - that maybe it isn't in the best interest of investors, corporations or our society in general, that business leaders are rewarded for only maximizing shareholder value. Steve Denning, a Forbes contributor, does a great job summarizing this growing sentiment in his article, The Dumbest Idea In The World: Maximizing Shareholder Value.
In the case of IBM, the stock market seems to be ahead of everyone.
Maybe other corporate CEOs should take notice.
Even with an investment of $156 billion, IBM's market value has decreased by 5.99% in the last fifteen years.
The baseline for IBM is 1999
This was the last year that any IBM Chief Executive Officer would write in their annual report that market value was probably, "the most important measure of progress to investors." As Mr. Gerstner points out in his book Who Says Elephants Can't Dance?, "People truly do what you inspect, not what you expect." CEOs are people too. Since 1999 many believe that investors have only been inspecting IBM's earnings-per-share to determine its success or failure. This is a mistake. For almost fifteen years, IBM's long-term investors - customers, employees, shareholders and society - have been considering more than this single perspective offered up by the short-term-thinking inhabitants of IBM's corner office.
History has failed to evaluate the effects of IBM's cultural change. The watershed event that signaled the end of IBM's culture - to most IBM employee-owners of the time - was July 1, 1999. On that day, Louis V. Gerstner could have offered a choice between the existing defined benefit pension plan or his proposed cash balance plan. Instead he set off the cultural equivalent of a 9.5 magnitude earthquake that sent a tsunami of employee-owner opinions against his new cultural walls: former Gerstner Guerillas turned to guerilla warfare to fight him; employee-owners realized his new culture did not support right over might, and IBM was no longer a corporate home. Instead of fixing his problem in the last few years as IBM's chairman of the board - an individual with the most Wall Street credibility since Watson Jr. - he spent his last days at the corporation writing a book to proclaim not only financial but cultural success. IBM's 20th century culture died in 1999. History should record it as so.
IBM's cultural changes since 1999 have affected the trust and confidence - the true determinants of market value - of IBM's four investors: customers, employees, shareholders and society. IBM Chief Executive Officers have been compensating ever since with share buybacks. This meets the classic definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
The beginning of the end of a sustaining culture
In the late '80s, many outside IBM were writing of the company's no-layoff policy, but insiders always knew it as a full-employment tradition. IBM hired smart people, and though some may have thought IBM would keep all its people as it sank, 99.9% of us believed that if really hard times hit, only the best-and-brightest should remain. Individual employment depended on performance. IBM was, by Jim Collins' definition in Good to Great, a rigorous society - a place where the best people need not worry about their positions, where the best people could concentrate fully on their work. Our cultural memory revered a CEO who constantly learned what and what not to do, and it recalled one very simple lesson: keep faith in your fellow employee-owners.
In 1984, John Opel set an unreasonable market expectation. He predicted his $45 billion IBM growing to $100 billion by 1990 and then $180 billion by 1994. To put this in perspective, IBM's revenues in 2013 were $99.8 billion - clearly Opel's expectations three decades ago were not without their hubris. He brought IBM to a financial precipice and slipped out the back door unscathed.
His successor, John F. Akers, compounded a financial misstep with a cultural one. He dismantled Tom Watson Jr.'s processes that ensured cultural universality, elasticity and growth through employee-owner feedback; Open Doors, Opinion Surveys, Feedback Sessions and Executive Interviews became distant memories. Nor did he learn, as Watson Sr. did, by wandering amongst his troops. Because of this he lost touch with, and faith in his people. He accused us all of "standing around water coolers." He lost his courage. He moved to dismantle our corporation. Fortunately, he was fired.
Cultural hubris brings the end
So a new CEO arrived. Louis V. Gerstner's expertise, by his own admission, was in strategy and financial controls. There is no doubt that he restored our corporate financial health and made some important initial strategic decisions that we all cheered; but neither is there any doubt that he was unable to be a humble understudy to IBM's eight-decade old culture of success.
Who Says Elephants Can't Dance? is the story of Gerstner and his generals - a view from the few atop that fails to capture a single perspective of the few hundred thousand beneath. He fails to tell the story of the salesman winning a big deal, the systems engineer restoring a customer's system into production, or the product managers listening to their customers. And the culture that produces long-term results isn't the one under the control of a sovereign isolated behind corporate walls, but a culture that flourishes in the lives of those outside. There, the culture of the Watsons was still strong. We still remembered their three words: respect, service and excellence. We worked every day to exhibit them, not only in our corporate lives but personal as well. We pushed forward believing in each other - because that was our heritage.
Could the culture of the Watsons - which took six decades of personal interactions, selfless acts and the tribulations of five of the seven steepest stock market declines in history - be replaced in a few years? Can financial processes be so improved that - starting in Lou's first full year - 50% fewer full time employee-owners proudly delivered year-over-year revenue gains of 2.1%, 12.3% and 5.6%? That takes three hundred thousand people putting their shoulders to the wheel. The Watson culture that Gerstner never tried to understand - and just like Akers he never wandered within - underpinned his success.
In his book, barely thirty-five pages out of three hundred discuss his replacement culture. The three simple words that imbued eighty years of tradition, he ridiculed and then attempted to overwrite with eight principles. But his principles departed with him. They were quickly replaced by Sam Palmisano's five traits and nine competencies. And today, no IBMer can tell you what defines their culture; well, not what defines it positively.
Mr. Gerstner failed to restore the Watsons' proven cultural controls. He even failed to implement cultural controls of his own. He left behind a corporation where constant cultural change and chaos reigns. It is a catastrophe. But he wrote his memoir, claimed not just financial but cultural success, and was the second Chief Executive Officer in IBM history to escape unscathed. So far, history has allowed it to remain so.
Unfortunately, as a culture forgets the reasons behind its traditions, myths take their place.
A myth takes flight - earnings-per-share roadmaps
But now, IBM's 21st century leadership has replaced an eight-decade, believe-in-each-other, full-employment tradition founded in strong business practices with an earnings-per-share myth - a two-decade long, resource-action insanity. It is a myth based on short-term, shareholder-only interests; buttressed with earnings-per-share talking points. In this company, the short-term shareholder, CEO and board of directors profit at the expense of long-term shareholders, customers, employees and society. And it is having its cultural effect: it is a practice that even the best-of-the-best fear; it is a quarterly constant that only spares those with the right last name or high-level connection; it is a destroyer of lives, not because of poor performance, but because a person is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The best this new myth has delivered is inconsistent revenue growth.
IBM's culture is now a Jim Collins' ruthless culture - hacking and cutting, or wantonly firing people without any thoughtful consideration.
Or as you will see, a Thomas J. Watson Sr. observation of today's IBM might be, "There is little believing left."
The founding of a better way
I am ashamed of it. I am ashamed of that record . . . We just didn't hang on to our courage and our belief in IBM and in IBM men.
Thomas J. Watson Sr., 1932, The World's Greatest Salesman
In 1921 Thomas J. Watson Sr., founder of IBM, was the source of his corporation's problems - just like Opel he set an unreasonable expectation. He forecast a tremendous year for his company - one with one hundred percent growth.
Unfortunately, the economy didn't cooperate. The Recession of 1921 (sometimes referred to as the Depression of 1921, because of its length and severity) caught him by surprise. In a single year (Moody's Manual of Investments: IBM's Comparative Consolidated Income Account and other sources), revenues declined from $16 million to less than $11 million; earnings per share dropped from $9.13 to $2.53; revenue per employee fell by a more than thirty percent; net income plummeted from $1.2 million to $331,000 - one-third lower than when Watson took over the company seven years earlier; to pay dividends a cash surplus tumbled negative; and employment, that had been an unwavering three thousand employees for years, fell by ten percent.
Yes, in 1921, IBM had layoffs.
Watson's corporation was on life-support so he moved beyond just workforce reductions. He implemented salary cuts, stopped the production of new products, and eliminated the research and development department. According to Thomas and Marva Belden in The Lengthening Shadow, "Salaries were cut 10 per cent, Watson's included . . . men were laid off, skilled and expensive labor going first. Of fifty men in the development department only four were retained, and they were sent to work elsewhere. Watson made the difficult and, he decided later, mistaken decision to stop producing new printers. . . . Watson had strained his credit to the limit."
IBM survived, but it would take eight years - even through the resurging economic backdrop of the Roaring Twenties - for it to claw back to $16 million in revenue, and it would take a decade and a half to realize Watson's original goal of $30 million. The experience scarred the IBM CEO.
So in 1932 when he stood on the speaker's platform before his best salesmen at the 1931 One Hundred Percent Club - two years into the Great Depression - he recounted his shame from that time. He spoke of lower profits, but that he also realized how hard those years were on his customers, company and those he employed. He shared the mistakes he learned from errors in judgment that he came to understand because he wandered amongst and listened to his employee-owners. He spoke on the dangers of losing faith in your co-workers. He told them that his 1921 mistake had prepared them for survival as they now journeyed through the greatest economic downturn of the 20th century. He embedded in IBM's cultural memory that it had been here before and it would face such downturns again, but because of his experience in 1921, IBM would always know what to do: believe in each other.
A tradition put to the test
Watson's team fought the Great Depression successfully for more than three years. Dividends had been resumed in 1916, and it wasn't until January 1933 that this run fell into jeopardy - the internal financial forecast at that time was a year with "reduced or no dividends." Unknown to the IBM financial team, they were forecasting the Great Depression's darkest moment - its economic trough - just three months away. It looked as if this economic beast was going to finally best them.
Watson could have repeated his actions of 1921 and resorted to layoffs, eliminating research and development, reducing salaries or yes, even stopping dividend payments to ensure corporate survival. But to Watson none of these were options - especially stopping dividends - as, over the years, the IBM stockholder had changed. They were no longer of the elite. They were individuals of small means purchasing single shares to then buy food and shelter with the quarterly dividends. More than half of them (2,200 of 4,000 total stockholders) were women - IBM had become a "widows and orphans" stock. It was not an option for him to throw up his hands - as he had done in 1921 - when business got bad.
So in 1933 Watson stood in front of his One Hundred Percent Club salesmen again. He told them that they had a great service to perform - that revenue was needed. Uncharacteristically, he invited non-Hundred Percenters, and to them he said bluntly, "Do something different." In at least his fourth session of the day, he told his factory foremen, "You have to keep in mind that your duty is to those men [salesmen] out there." He instructed them to deliver higher quality products and to hire more men of character.
He needed his IBM team with him. So finally, possibly talking about himself as much as his team, he told those who had been with him through five previous recessions and were now fighting this greatest of depressions, "There never was a good sailor developed in fair weather. It is during the storms when the seas are running high and the going is rough that you develop your sailors. That is how you develop men." He was determined to avoid layoffs, keep production lines running, continue to provide superlative customer support, and pay a dividend. He was calling on his team to help.
And they came through: his team delivered over the next decade an average annual revenue growth rate of 18%. His faith in IBM and his employee-owners was justified, and a tradition confirmed.
Watson Sr. didn't believe in backdoor exits. There could be no such departures for anyone building a corporation that would "go on forever." And as he told the board of directors when he took the job of President of C-T-R Company - IBM's predecessor, "If you want me to come in here and operate this business for the benefit of the business, I'll do it, but I will not have anything to do with the operation of it from a stock standpoint."
Finding the right roadmap into the next century
Everything that is new is usually nothing but the promising child of time-tested older achievements - an ideal continuation of tradition.
Elisabeth Gürtler
Change is inevitable. While learning from the past we should not be held hostage to it. And while IBM's past is the story of a great culture that could not keep a company from suffering during tough times, it bound its people together to soften the pain of those economic downturns, and lessened the impact of a leader's lack of clairvoyance. It then stood ready, after either of these ran their course, to rocket the corporation forward: as it did during the Great Depression and during Lou Gerstner's early years.
A new leadership needs to restore trust. They need to decentralize and once again delegate control through a corporate constitution composed of three simple words: respect, service and excellence. When they do, shareholders can once again expect consistent revenue growth. They will see the return of turn-around leadership to replace the current jettison-now management.
For almost two decades, IBM has been without any cultural controls or an experienced leader that spoke and acted as a fellow employee-owner. When will IBM's 21st century culture again be strong enough to span the coming century's greatest economic recessions, steepest stock market declines and poor leadership choices?
When it, once again, has a CEO who wanders amongst his or her fellow employee-owners, establishes cultural controls that last beyond their time in power, and has the humility to say of today's myths, "I am ashamed." Then the purpose behind a century-old IBM tradition will again be understood, and trust and confidence in IBM's leadership restored.
Then IBM's revenue growth and market value will recover - without buybacks.
Peter E. Greulich is an author, publisher and public speaker. He has written two books on IBM and three essays on Thomas J. Watson Sr.'s leadership during the Great Depression. His latest book, A View from Beneath the Dancing Elephant: Rediscovering IBM's Corporate Constitution is a sweeping historical look at IBM that puts a spotlight on its current human relationship practices. It is a different perspective from Louis V. Gerstner's Who Says Elephants Can't Dance. It is a view from beneath - the perspective of an IBM employee-owner.

What There Was On the Other Side of Things
I needed a break in the Lord of the Rings reading train, and normally I wouldn't allow switching books while right in the middle of one, but I just couldn't get through book number three. So, the other night I started reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I read it in high school for an out-of-class book report assignment, meaning that I didn't have to analyze it to death and ruin the book forevermore (i.e. Lord of the Flies, Heart of Darkness, Wuthering Heights, etc.). I read it on my own terms, at my own speed, wrote the paper on a topic of my choosing, and that was it. There was only one book in my entire reading-for-class career that I actually enjoyed: Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison. It's a strange read, and very different from every other classic in the high school canon, which is probably why I liked it. Anyway, back to One Hundred Years. I'm only thirty pages in and have already found several great lines and passages, like this one: "The whole structure seemed to occupy its own space, one of solitude and oblivion, protected from the vices of time and the habits of the birds."
