Boeing names Wojick top plane salesman

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Boeing Co named a former aerospace engineer and company veteran to the post of top airliner salesman on Friday, giving him the task of leading the U.S. plane maker's efforts to outsell rival Airbus in the fiercely contested $100 billion a year global market.

The company's commercial plane unit, which is based in the Seattle area, named 55-year old John Wojick as vice president of sales, filling the place of Ray Conner, who took over leadership of the whole commercial plane unit in June.

Wojick, who started at Boeing in 1980 as an engineer and progressed through several international sales roles, now has the job of steering Boeing's sales campaigns at a crucial time in its development of new planes.

Boeing is pushing airlines hard to buy its new 737 MAX single-aisle plane, which is quickly catching up with Airbus' competing A320neo launched a year earlier. But it is struggling to find big buyers for its new 747 jumbo jets, while sales of its carbon-fiber 787 have stalled.

Last year EADS unit Airbus outsold Boeing, due to strong A320neo sales, and managed to win a landmark order with core Boeing customer American Airlines, the main AMR Corp unit. But this year Boeing is setting the pace with 701 net plane orders to Airbus' 270, powered by hot sales of the 737 MAX.

"John's experience working with customers worldwide and his ability to align Boeing resources in support of their needs are critical in today's competitive environment," said Conner in an internal memo Boeing made available to Reuters on Friday.

FDA OKS Lucentis for diabetes-related eye disorder

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved Roche's injectable eye drug Lucentis for a new use in treating a diabetes-related condition that can cause blindness.

The agency cleared the drug for diabetic macular edema, a condition that causes swelling and blurred vision in patients with diabetes. In 2010, 3.9 million adults with diabetes reported vision problems, according to the FDA.

Lucentis is currently marketed for wet, age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness among the elderly. The drug has been facing new competition in that market from Regeneron Pharmaceutical's Eylea, which is cheaper and can be administered with fewer injections.

Side effects with Lucentis include bleeding around the tissue that lines the eyelids and increased pressure on the eyes.

Lucentis is manufactured by Roche's Genentech unit

You're everything ? f00dventures

Grad school has really opened my eyes, in more ways than one. It got me thinking about?relationships. Odd thing to think about when you?re pursuing grad school. But it made me realize how lucky I am to have Edward in my life. He has been so supportive and been there for me every step of the way throughout our relationship. Through every career change resulting in my staying in college a few *ahem* years longer than needed, he was there for me. He was there for me when not just 1 but both of my dogs had to be put down within a years time. He was there for me when I was not matched with a dietetic internship resulting in possibly the second worst day of my life (losing my dogs, Duddley and Gabby, were the worst days of my life). And Edward has remained there for me while I subject myself to grad school. He supported my decision to return to school even though that would mean putting ourselves further into debt. He has been there through thick and thin and has always remained positive and optimistic. While I am the ?cup half empty? type, he is the ?cup half full? type. We complement each other, balance each other out.? We have survived *almost* 7 years together. I?m not going to say it was always easy. It is true when they say that relationships are work. But I truly believe that anything worthwhile, is also worth fighting for. It seems my generation likes to just call it quits when things get tough. I don?t believe in that. I believe that Edward and I were truly meant to be together. It may sound corny but I also believe in destiny. Edward found me at a time when I really needed someone to be there for me. So before I get into the rest of my post, I would like to start off with how Edward and I actually met.
Back in 2005 Edward and I were both working at a mall (my parents owned a restaurant in the mall and I worked for them). I will admit that I had a huge crush on him for quite awhile. We had worked across the hall from each other for a few years and the employees at GNC were a hot topic amongst the employees I worked with. They were all something to look at but Edward was something special. I first noticed him when I was, god, I want to say 16? I want to say I was junior in high school. I remember immediately after seeing him spilling my new crush to my best friend at the time while on the way to school. He was that ?hot, unattainable guy?. You know, the guy that everybody has a crush on but you?re too afraid to talk to him because why would he look at you when he could have his pick of any girl? That was my thinking anyway. I was the shy girl in high school. The one that sat in the back of the classroom and doodled on her notebooks. Most of the people I went to school with probably didn?t even know I existed much less knew my name. I never got asked out by guys, I attended my first prom dateless and the only reason I had a date to my senior prom was because I asked my best guy friend to take me. I didn?t really have my first real boyfriend until I was 18/19. Anyway, it all started with that first boyfriend. Let?s just say I was naive. He was my first boyfriend so I didn?t know what to expect when it came to relationships. I thought I was really in love and I thought he and I would get married one day. Problem was, he was still in high school when we first started dating. We were together about 7 months when he finally graduated. I had been out of high school for a year at this point so I was over my crazy ?let?s party it up? lifestyle (that lasted about 2 seconds). My boyfriend however, was just getting started. He was 18 and a high school graduate. He was ready to party and live it up. Problem was, he had a girlfriend. He remedied this pretty quickly by telling me he wanted ?to go on a break?. The dreaded ?let?s go on a break? that is typically code for ?I want to sleep around?. I believed him when he said he just wanted to hang out with his guy friends and just live life a little. I also believed him when he said that he wasn?t going to date anybody else. We had made a pact to give each other a month of space before reuniting. All of my coworkers warned me about what this would mean. I just waved it off and said it was fine. If he wanted to live a little, fine, I trusted him. Well, silly me, I should have listened to my coworkers. I found out not from 1, not from 2, but from 3 of my boyfriend?s friends that he was cheating on me. Except in my boyfriend?s eyes, he was not cheating because, you guessed it, ?we were on a break?. It didn?t matter to me if we were on a break or not. He broke my heart. I was pretty much damaged goods by that point. I was a wreck. I was working every chance I got so I wouldn?t have to sit at home and feel sorry for myself. Working kept my mind off of what my now ex-boyfriend had done. He tried apologizing and was actually in shock (seriously, the nerve) when I told him I wanted nothing to do with him, I wanted him to take back all of his things, and I never wanted to speak to him again. He seriously thought I was so in love with him that I would just take him back. Anyway, I was at work one night feeling sorry for myself and wanting to just beat the crap out of every guy I saw when Edward saw me and asked me what was wrong. Remember, this was the hot guy that I had pretty much drooled over since I was about 16. The fact that Edward genuinely seemed concerned really got to me. I told him the whole story and despite my obvious baggage, Edward still gave me his number and told me to call him if I ever needed to talk. That?s how it all started. We started talking on the phone. We started hanging out at work. We started hanging out outside of work. And then we officially started dating August 16, 2005. I admit I was a little afraid at first because my ex-boyfriend was not the only guy who had done me wrong in the past. Just because I never had a real boyfriend until I was 18/19 doesn?t mean I hadn?t had my fair share of run-ins with jerks. Even though Edward seemed like a genuinely good guy, I was still skeptical of guys, especially after what had happened with my ex. But Edward proved himself and over time I realized I had never even known what love was when I was with my ex. Edward showed me what it really felt like to be loved.I feel like it was destiny that brought us together. We got together just in time because about a week after we got together, my parent?s ended up closing the restaurant. Had things worked out just a little differently, Edward and I most likely wouldn?t have started talking. Destiny.

7 years later, I?m even more in love with him now that I was when we first got together. Which is why every year, I try do something especially special for him on our anniversary.I also like to do special things for his birthday and Christmas but our anniversary is special to me.

One year I made him a scrapbook (pictured below, it has grown considerably since I first started it):

Another year I attempted *key word here, attempted* to make him lasagna from scratch, one of his favorite foods. It didn?t really turn out well but Edward seemed to appreciate the gesture. Another year I made him a collage of pictures of us over the years:

Needless to say, after 7 years of being together (remember a lot of birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmases have passed at this point) and it starts to get hard to come up with new things to do. Edward specifically likes me to make things for him rather than buy things (I think he appreciates the effort that goes into homemade gifts). So this year I came up with a few things to do:

1) Edward gave me a $20 gift limit so I?m thinking I?m going to purchase some roasted almonds for him as well as dinner from his favorite mexican restaurant. Both the roasted almonds and the dinner will be waiting for Edward when he comes home from work the day before our anniversary as an early anniversary present.

2) As for the ?homemade? portion of his gift, part 1 starts today. I found these really cute harry potter valentines day cards awhile back. I did a harry potter themed scavenger hunt for Edward for Valentine?s day so I never got a chance to give him the harry potter valentines day cards. So this works out nicely. There are 8 total. So each day leading up to our anniversary, I am going to give him one of the cards. Nothing special but just a little love note to remind him each day that I still love him. I taped the first one to our front door so it?s the first thing Edward will see today when he gets home from work. I tied red ribbons around each card so they look like little individual gifts.

3) Part 2 of Edward?s gift won?t be given until our actual anniversary. I saw the idea for this on pinterest. Here is a picture of what I based my idea off of:

You find pictures of maps from where you met, married, and where you currently live, cut the portion of the map into a heart shape, then insert it into a picture frame. Since we aren?t married yet, I had to modify this a bit. I also included hearts for where we were both born. So the lineup includes where we were born, where we met, where we got engaged, and where we currently live. The last 2 hearts are actually the same since Edward proposed to me in our kitchen the day before I graduated college. I thought it was a cute idea and would make a nice wall hanging for our bedroom or our library/study (whenever we end up getting when).

4) This isn?t really a gift more so our actual plans for our anniversary. We have decided to keep it low key this year and do our typical date night. It?s one of our favorite ways to spend time with each other in the summer. We will go to the local park and spend about an hour there, grab a bite to eat at one of our newest favorite places to eat (which just so happens to be a bar but they have good food), and then end the night with a movie at the drive in. It may not be fancy but it doesn?t matter. It?s about us. It?s about spending time with each other and celebrating how far we have come as a couple. We don?t need ?fancy? to do that.

So if you?ve stuck around this long, I thank you. I?m almost done, I promise. My point to this post was that relationships really go both ways. You can?t expect your significant other to stick around and be there for you if you?re not there for them. It may not always be 50/50. Sometime you may need to give 80 and only receive 20 in return. other times, you may be the one only able to give 20 while your significant other gives 80. All that really matters is that the love is there and that you?re both willing to fight for it. Like Edward and I agreed years ago, breaking up is not in our vocabulary. We are in it for the long haul. Edward is committed to our relationship just as much as I am. He is everything to me. He is my best friend. It may sound cliche but I?m so lucky that I not only fell in love with my best friend but I get to marry him.

*Just a note about the title of this post. The title is actually lyrics from a lifehouse song, ?everything?. To me the lyrics say everything I would want to say to Edward. He is my everything.

Exhibit maps out modern historical realities | Oh! Kpop stars celebrity ...

Kwak Duck-jun's "Ford and Me" (1974) A work of art is like us, in that it cannot avoid being a product of its times. This remains true for Korean art from the 1970s and '80s, when the nation underwent dramatic social and political changes

Kwak Duck-jun?s ?Ford and Me? (1974)

A work of art is like us, in that it cannot avoid being a product of its times. This remains true for Korean art from the 1970s and ?80s, when the nation underwent dramatic social and political changes. As years go by, the artworks of this era became a poignant reflection of the historical realities of when and where they were made.

An exhibition at the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) makes an ambitious attempt at organizing art from this tumultuous political period. Titled ?Mapping the Realities?, the exhibition covers two floors of the museum and juxtaposes two very different art movements: Korean Modernist art of the 1970s and the social realist Minjung Art a decade later. ?Minjung? refers to people.

Aesthetically, no two art movements could contrast more starkly from each other. Taking a cue from its Western counterpart, Korean Modernism of the ?70s was cool, distanced and inscrutable. For the ?80s Minjung artists, on the other hand, the political message was always front and center, often to the point of being didactic.

But in their different ways, both art movements were reacting to the larger social realities of their times. The monochrome paintings that start off this SeMA exhibition may seem purely formal on their surface, and there is a meditative quality to them. However, for many critics, this absence of figurative meaning is inherently connected to the repressive military rule of President Park Chung-hee.

One can also see this layer of meaning in conceptual artworks like Sung Neung-kyung?s 1974 performance art pieces, in which the artist carefully cuts out articles from a domestic newspaper. The resulting artwork is a fragile lattice, a newspaper literally drained of its content.

From Modernist cool, the exhibition then moves into the social activism of the Minjung Art period. At first, visitors may find these rooms a shock to the senses. The Minjung artworks are steeped in anger and frustration felt by Koreans through years of dictatorial rule, and their artistic and political efforts helped to bring about profound democratic change.

However, there is little subtlety in these figurative paintings, woodcuts and sculptures. The content was often brutal ? rape and torture endured by activists, suffering of the working class, greed and corruption of the ruling class ? and the artists were intent on getting their message across, no matter the cost.

Nevertheless, there is a graphic sophistication to many of the Minjung artworks. From simple woodcuts for activist pamphlets to fully realized paintings for galleries, the artists found creative and effective ways to express their rage against the injustice around them.

Due to their aggressive message, the aesthetic quality of the Minjung artworks could be easy to miss. This is in stark contrast to the Modernist works of the previous decade, in which a clear message is hard to decipher.

Pairing them together, the SeMA exhibition gives viewers an intriguing view of the transformation undergone by art and society in South Korea during the late 20th century.

?Mapping the Realities? will run through Aug. 19 at Seoul Museum of Art. Admission is free. For more information, go to www.seoulmoa.org or call (02) 2124-8800.
