We have a feeling Jonathan Ive, Apple's chief of design, may be doing quite well at work. He reportedly just paid $17 million for a house on San Francisco's Gold Coast.
|
Ive, Apple's senior vice president of industrial design, did negotiate a deal, though. The 7,274-square foot, six-bedroom, 8.5-bath house was listed for $25 million, so Ive did manage a hefty 32 percent discount off of the price, according to the Wall Street Journal. The 1927 brick house is built with floors, with an oak-paneled library, courtyard garden and cathedral ceilings. There's also, of course, quarters for the staff.
|
Ive, 45, had been living in San Francisco with his wife and children and we would guess probably in a lot less fancy digs (oh, wait, here is an alleged picture and it is a lot less fancy and a lot more concrete.) Ive couldn't be reached for comment and Apple declined to comment on the report.

Adam Hague (Dearne ALC) continued his relentless progress in the pole vault with a win at an international indoor meeting in Vienna on Saturday.
|
Hague, still only 17, cleared a new personal best height of 5.55 adding four centimetres to his previous best set recently in Sheffield.
|
He cleared it first time before going on to fail at an ambitious 5.65, a height only ever beaten by three British athletes. As it is, Hague’s 5.55 is 10th on the UK all-time list, a list headed by his training partner Luke Cutts with 5.83.
|
Sheffield-based Louise Bloor (Trafford AC) won the 200 metres in 23.64, an indoor personal best, after finishing runner up in the 60 metres in another best of 7.37. And City of Sheffield all rounder Daniel Gardiner won the long jump, his 7.60 winning effort coming with his last jump.

Neil Patrick Harris had some good news to share with Jimmy Kimmel Live viewers on Wednesday night.
|
The 44-year-old actor is among the celebrities filling in for Kimmel on the late-night show this week as he takes some time off to be with his 8-month-old son, Billy, who just underwent heart surgery.
|
Harris was happy to report that Billy was "recovering very well" following the operation. "Jimmy told me today that the respirator is out," he said. "He is eating, he is smiling. So, all good news. We are sending lots of love."
|
Praising Kimmel's son, Harris added, "Billy is a brave little boy and it's just heart wrenching, literally, and I'm so glad he's doing well."
|
Kimmel's wife, Molly McNearney, who is also the head writer of JKL, also tweeted about her son's recovery. "My baby is recovering from open heart surgery but I just woke up in a full blown panic that I forgot to move my toddler’s elf on the shelf," she quipped.
|
The good news comes just a day after McNearney spoke with The Hollywood Reporter and gushed over her husband's monologue, where he opened up about their son's health battle.
|
"I was still getting all of my work emails, and I didn't get one with the monologue for that night. I emailed Jimmy, and he said, 'I just want you to watch.' So, there I am, in my living room breastfeeding Billy with my mom beside me, and we're watching," she recalled. "I sobbed through the entire thing. I couldn't believe the strength that it took to tell that story a week after it happened. He didn't have to do that."

Sarah-Jane Leslie has been just about everything you can be at the University. Now, she steps into a new role: dean of the Graduate School.
|
Leslie is an affiliated faculty member in the psychology department, the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies, the Center for Human Values, and the Kahneman-Treisman Center for Behavioral Science and Public Policy. Her research and academic work have also led to her authoring and publishing a number of writings, focusing primarily on her advocacy for diversity and gender equality, as well the intersections of language, philosophy and psychology. Much of Leslie’s recent research has focused on why some academic disciplines are more diverse than others, especially when it comes to gender, exploring the barrier to participation to women and other minorities when it comes to certain academic disciplines.
|
Leslie’s hiring comes as the graduate school faces certain gender-based controversies such as those previously reported in 'Prince'. In the German department, students have alleged gender-based discrimination, and a graduate student in the electrical engineering department spoke out about her experience of sexual harassment by a professor. As someone who speaks about diversity, and whose research frequently focuses on the necessity of academics promoting diversity, Leslie is now in a position to do so herself.
|
“I look forward to combining that kind of database socially, scientifically informed approach to these rich and concrete questions that impact lives such as including diverse groups in our graduate student population,” Leslie said.
|
Whether focusing on gender diversity or the practical methods of pursuing career choices, Leslie plans on taking a student-centric approach to her leadership of the graduate college. The most enjoyable parts of her work, she explained, always involved students.
|
Her family emigrated from the United Kingdom. Leslie herself is a New Jersey native, and was an undergraduate student at Rutgers University, where she studied philosophy, math, and cognitive science. She came to Princeton as a graduate student in 2002, and her dissertation work was mainly concerned with how the human mind understands language — drawing from linguistics, psychology, and cognitive science. She received her Ph.D. in 2006, after having started teaching as an assistant professor a year earlier. She was then awarded tenure and promoted to full professor in 2014.
|
Her fellow students and collaborators also agree that her time as a graduate student will be a significant advantage when it comes to her position as Dean of the School, including Adam Lerner GS, one of Dean Leslie’s academic advisees.
|
Leslie is currently the Vice Dean for Faculty Development in the Office of the Dean of the Faculty, the Director of Princeton's Program in Linguistics, and the Director of the Program in Cognitive Science, which she founded in 2015.

WHISTLER (Reuters) - Britain's top skier Chemmy Alcott broke down in tears on Friday and said she has run out of money and is uncertain about her future in the sport despite being close to reaching the World Cup finals.
|
Alcott, who has competed in all five events and had two top- 15 finishes at the Vancouver Games, has been badly affected by Snowsport GB's collapse into administration just before the Olympics and broke down in tears while talking to reporters.
|
"I'm out of my money, (my sponsors) Witan have been so amazing to me over the last nine years but this is a really expensive sport.
|
"I just don't know where I am going from here. I know that I have a lot more to offer to the sport, I know that I can be the best and I still have that belief, it is just finding companies out there that have that belief too," she said after skiing out on her first slalom run.
|
"I think no athlete would choose to deal with that situation once they are racing and in the biggest race of their career but I don't know what is happening from here," she said.
|
"I've got one car.. I can't afford to have my physio travel with me and I could be the first Brit to reach the (World Cup) finals of the super-G ever and I feel I am fighting against everything -- it's really difficult to keep throwing myself into these difficult races," she said.
|
Alcott, 27, said she was upset by British media treatment of her performances at the Games -- she finished 11th in super combined equaling her best Olympic finish and 13th in downhill but struggled in other disciplines.
|
"I'm getting a pretty hard time at home and I think that is a very unfair situation. I guess (it is) statistic-wise because I got the same results as I did four years ago but in the last four years skiing has got hugely competitive.
|
"I've been through a really tough journey with my foot surgery and losing my mum and then breaking my ankle last year and losing my funding," she said.

Singer claims he is "opening a stall in Camden selling rock'n'roll memorabilia"
|
Peter Doherty has revealed that he is planning to sell rock’n’roll memorabilia from a stall in Camden, including cigarette butts smoked by Amy Winehouse and Kate Moss.
|
Earlier this month, Babyshambles announced details of a headline UK tour. Pete Doherty will hit the road with his bandmates in September for an extensive run which will involve gigs all the way into October. Starting in Glasgow on September 4, the tour will visit Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Lincoln, Bristol, Oxford, Cardiff and Norwich throughout September as well as a date at London’s Brixton Academy. Further shows in October will take place in Sheffield, Hatfield, Leamington Spa, Birmingham, Leicester and Cambridge.

It was an unoriginal argument: Women aren't biologically fit to succeed in tech.
|
Over the weekend, a 3,300-word manifesto written by one of Google's male engineers was leaked to the press. In the memo, the rank-and-file engineer mused that women aren't suited for tech jobs for "biological" reasons. Men have "higher drive for status," and women have higher rates of anxiety disorders -- making for "lower numbers of women in high stress jobs."
|
Google (GOOG) quickly condemned the document's assertions. And on Monday, CEO Sundar Pichai emailed the company's staff blasted portions of the memo for "advancing harmful gender stereotypes" in the workplace. "To suggest a group of our colleagues have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive and not OK," Pichai wrote.
|
The memo has generated widespread outrage.
|
In fact, in terms of abilities, attitudes and actions, the differences between the sexes are scarce and minimal, Wharton professor of management and psychology Adam Grant pointed out on Monday.
|
Sarah Allen, a senior technical leader at Google, told CNN Tech that the memo "distracts everybody from the real issues. It's really frustrating to have to respond to an ill-thought out series of arguments."
|
Allen said she was speaking in an individual capacity, not as a representative of the company. She joined Google more than a year ago and is a member of one of its diversity teams, but she's been working as an engineer and manager in the industry for more than two decades.
|
Allen, who publicly commented on the memo on her blog, said it illustrated conscious bias.
|
It "undermines the people who you are saying are different. There is no evidence that we even understand what makes someone a good software developer. It is not linked to math, it's not linked to good education," she told CNN Tech. "I hope he did not mean to imply that his female peers are neurotic. However, that is a message that is underlying it ... It was not thoughtful about the impact it would have on his colleagues."
|
Lack of women and minority employees continues to be a deep-rooted and painful problem in tech.
|
Allegations of sexism and harassment at Uber opened a flood of conversations around Silicon Valley's sexist culture. Despite publishing diversity reports and expressing a desire to increase minority hires, companies haven't shown much measurable improvement in workplace demographics over the last few years.
|
Turnover in the tech industry caused by the mistreatment of employees costs companies $16 billion a year in replacement costs, according to a recent study from the Kapor Center. The study also found that women "experienced and observed" much more unfair treatment than men.
|
Allen, who said her personal experience working at Google has been a good one, said the industry needs to focus on "addressing actual toxic work environments and ensuring that people treat their colleagues with respect. This work is creative work, you cannot do creative work in a climate of fear."

|
It isn't that women aren't cut out to be engineers.
|
A grassroots attempt to shatter the stereotypes of what an engineer "looks like" went viral in 2015. That same year, a documentary, "CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap," premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. It highlighted women who played integral roles in computer science history, like Ada Lovelace, considered to be the first computer programmer, and Grace Hopper, a U.S. Navy admiral and programming pioneer. The film aimed to create awareness of what's really behind tech's current gender and diversity issues.
|
Robin Hauser, the director of "CODE," concluded that tech's gender gap is caused by a mix of stereotypes, startup culture, dearth of role models, pervasiveness of sexism, and inadequate educational pipelines.
|
Hauser told CNN Tech on Monday that the memo making the rounds now is "totally missing the point."
|
"The part that's most offensive to me is the assumption that women don't seek leadership roles, don't want leadership roles, and don't have the drive for leadership roles," Hauser said. At Google, women hold just 25% of leadership roles, according to Google's latest diversity report.

Lea Coligado, 23, is a software engineer at Google. She said it was difficult to read the manifesto, which purported to be based on science and biology but lacked citations to any evidence or research. She said that her team is supportive and has about an equal number of men and women. But she said the memo was a reminder that it's not this way for everyone.
|
Prior to joining Google, Coligado said she experienced a lot of what others had warned her about in the tech industry, including sexual harassment. In 2014, she started a blog while an undergraduate at Stanford University called "Women in Silicon Valley" to celebrate women who've stayed in tech "despite the macro and micro aggressions." She continues to work on the blog, even recruiting a team of three other Googlers to help with it. They post twice a month. "The point is to show their resilience."

SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Mary Venturacci is 98 years old and lives by herself in her northeast Salem home.
|
It’s an ideal situation for most older adults, who prefer to continue living in the comfort of their home and maintain independence. But it takes some work.
|
Much of it falls on her daughter, Wanda Urban, who helps Venturacci with her health care, medications, grocery shopping and more. Another good portion falls on Venturacci’s Kaiser Permanente nurse practitioner, Marty Surface, who provides her with primary care services at her home.
|
When Surface made his first visit with Venturacci, he immediately recommended changes — to the home. The bathroom needed bars to help her get down and up. The bed’s wheels needed stoppers to make sure it doesn’t move around too much when Venturacci lands on it. Surface then taught Venturacci how to use her walker.
|
These are all things a typical primary care doctor in a clinic setting would not have been able to do, yet they could have a profound impact on Venturacci’s health outcomes.
|
One out of three adults aged 65 and older fall each year, which can lead to hospitalizations, loss of independence, worsening health and death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 95 percent of hip fractures are caused by falls.
|
Fall prevention is key to keeping frail, older people healthy.
|
House calls, which may conjure an image from a different generation, when doctors traveled with black satchels, are gaining recognition for their effectiveness in lowering costs and improving outcomes for the most fragile, complex — and, in turn, most costly — health care consumers.
|
Kaiser Permanente began its Primary Care at Home program in 2007 and started expanding its reach to Salem a year and a half ago. Its patient base has grown from 500 to 1,500 people, but more could be helped.
|
Surface, who serves 102 patients, is currently the only house call provider in the Salem area, but Kaiser is looking to hire another provider, as there are about 100 people on the waiting list.
|
The only requirement is that the patients be home-bound, or face significant challenges making clinic appointments.
|
In a cohort of 554 Kaiser Permanente patients, preliminary data show that house calls have helped decrease costs by 40 percent, emergency room visits by 40 percent and hospital admissions by 60 percent.
|
The federal government’s home care demonstration for Medicare patients showed similar gains.
|
First-year results of the three-year Affordable Care Act study, Independence at Home, showed that offering house calls to Medicare patients with complex conditions and high needs saved Medicare $25 million. Medicare rewarded participating providers who met certain quality measures with incentive payments, and Portland-based Housecall Providers collected $1.2 million for its first year’s performance.
|
The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation to extend the program for two additional years and now awaits President Barack Obama’s approval.
|
Oregon Democrat Sen. Ron Wyden, who championed Independence at Home from early on, also helped introduce the extension.
|
Much of what house calls allow providers to do is not medical in nature.
|
Shari Sanders, chief of geriatrics and long-term care for Kaiser Permanente Northwest, said it allows clinicians to detect a crisis before it begins.
|
During a recent visit with Venturacci, who experiences swelling in her legs, Surface discussed reducing the patient’s blood pressure medication dose by half to see if that might improve her symptoms.
|
If the pills are easy to cut, then Venturacci would be able to avoid a separate copay refilling a new prescription, Surface noted.
|
Urban brought out the pills, and Surface demonstrated how to split them.
|
When Venturacci misplaced her hearing aids, Surface lent her a personal amplifier.
|
Housecall Providers has been specializing in home visits for 20 years.
|
However, it can be difficult to make a living seeing patients in their homes. House call providers are reimbursed the same way clinic providers are, on a fee-for-service basis, yet house calls take more time and traveling in between patients. Providers weren’t able to see the volume of patients required to keep the doors open. So the nonprofit’s revenue has long been supplemented by grants and donations.
|
But there’s hope that Medicare’s support for house calls through Independence at Home and its value-based payment model is a sign of change, making the profession a more viable option.
|
“I do see a tide turning and I think there will be health care systems looking at this as a way to better serve these patients,” medical director Dr. Pamela Miner said.
|
Keeping older patients out of the hospital isn’t just a cost saving. It could also be life-saving.
|
Older patients tend not to have great outcomes in hospitals, and they often have to be discharged to a nursing home. The experience also worsens memory problems, Surface said.
|
Venturacci has no plans to move.

Is A Second Hard Market Ahead In 2004?
|
Every commercial insurer executive interviewed for this edition identified the same set of issues facing the industry in 2004a list that included sustaining profitability in a stabilizing rate environment. But only David Zwiener, chief operating officer of property-casualty operations for The Hartford, raised the possibility of a second hard market ahead in 2004.
|
Managing technology patents is becoming a science in itself and, if done well, can add to a company’s profits. IBM, for example, is consistently one of the global leaders in patent filings and has recently filed a patent application to create a unique system for protecting its patents.
