Science Center bonuses are under the microscope - 1 views

  • "Speaking just for myself, I was concerned when I heard about these bonuses," said David Weber, chairman of the Zoo-Museum District's board. It stands out from "what we've heard from the other institutions and the cost-cutting measures they're taking."
  • In Boyle's case, Hellman said, the financial officer deserved her bonus, even though she started so late in 2010. "She gave us a really good transition," he said, "and we rewarded her for that outstanding contribution."
  • "It removes any concerns that taxpayers might have," Hellman said. "But we're still going to use incentive compensation in certain years and with certain people. We still believe it's right."

  • The pay is tied to objective performance standards that vary depending on executives' responsibilities, said Ted Hellman,
  • "The science center is on a trajectory that is very serious," Ben Uchitelle, a former Clayton mayor who chairs the Zoo-Museum District's audit committee, said at a May 31 meeting. "It spends more than it makes."
  • "They have a right to review our finances, and they have done so consistently in the past," Hellman said. "We welcome the review."

The iPad: First Take From frog design | Blog | design mind - 0 views

  • “I love it,” said Esslinger from Vienna, where he teaches “convergent industrial design” at the University of Applied Arts. “The iPad is the beginning of a new category — one that is hyper-convergent and humanistic.”
  • For a device to be compelling as a “casual computer” it has to have both the right user interface and the right “form factor,” designer lingo for a manageable and easy-to-use industrial design.
  • “The iPad is merging humanistic innovation with a culture of design and interaction that reaches the levels of high art,” says Esslinger. “In a digital world mostly deprived of any truly inspired product and experience culture, Apple stands out even more. The nearly forgotten American Dream of excellence and success is alive thanks to Steve Jobs!”
