In the post, I mentioned the poisonous sales culture (you live by the sword, you die by the sword), which is at the center (of blame) for this and last quarter’s missed performance targets. Another concern was the ‘garage sale’ of business units that would inevitably have to come if IBM were to meet its targets. </span></span></span></b></div>

It seems Ginni may be failing faster than even I had predicted.</span></span></span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>SEPTEMBER 17,2014 11:40 PM<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When the Angels were in Boston in August, several players asked veteran infielder John McDonald to bring the World Series ring he won with the Red Sox last season from his home in Scituate, Mass., to Fenway Park.<br /><br /> </span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>They wanted to see it, to touch it, to imagine what it would be like to slip such a hefty, diamond-encrusted ornament on their fingers.<br /><br />"It was pretty cool," center fielder Mike Trout said. </b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"That's what you play for. You want to get that ring."</b></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>The Angels are a long way from being sized for such fine jewelry. The postseason is a <br /><br />three-round, month-long grind, a grueling test of talent, will and endurance that can <br /><br />stretch to 19 games and requires 11 victories to hoist that championship trophy.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The changing nature of shipping has made piracy easier, not harder, say people in the industry, and that makes fixing the problem all the more challenging. <br /><br />Automation has reduced crew headcounts, making it harder to maintain a vigilant watch on board. A 500,000-ton oil tanker that would have had 35 crew members years ago may have only 15 men today. Some vessels actually put dummies on deck to make it look like crew members are standing watch. </b></span></span></div>
