  Creating Passionate Users: Death by Devil's Advocate
Tom Kelley--general manager of IDEO--believes that "devil's advocate may be the biggest innovation killer in America today." We've all been in a meeting where a passionate idea is put forth but someone plays devil's advocate and drains the life out of the room.
Part of the problem is simply the timing of the devil's advocate invocation; if the devil jumps in at the earliest stage, the idea never has a hope in hell, or ends up being having all of its sharp edges smoothed over.
If you are stuck with a devil's advocate, make the most of their creativity in coming up with ways in which the project will fail, and use those objections to strengthen your project.

But Tommy Albelin isn't just any old, old player to the Devils, and his determined bid at one last swing through the National Hockey League was rewarded with a one-year, $450,000 contract on Tuesday after Vladimir Malakhov left the team.
Since training camp, when he was on an official tryout, Albelin has unofficially practiced and sometimes even traveled with the Devils, with the occasional per diem for meals as his only payment.
He won a Cup with the Devils in 1995, was traded to Calgary in 1996, then re-signed with the Devils in 2001 as a free agent.

The headline you attached to my article, ("Devils' Advocate" Post, Nov 10), which stated baldly, "There should be no trial", appears to have confused some readers, among them Henri Locard, whose rejoinder you printed in your last issue.
Those words were from your pen, not mine, and while that inference can certainly be drawn from what I wrote, it is not the only one possible.
The case I made was rather that a tribunal, if established, will have more to do with revenge than justice - and that those who advocate such a course must assume the logic of what they are advocating (or try to prove that my argument is wrong).

 Cheryl's Movie Backlot: Devil's Advocate
I love "Devil's Advocate." Keanu's beauty and performance make watching this movie "biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate." And many reviewers agreed.
The Washington Post called it "perfectly evil." Jeffrey Lyons said it was "a sexy and savvy thriller." Gene Siskel called it "entertaining and outrageous." Others saw it as an overbaked morality tale with an over-the-top performance by Pacino, and the usual slings and arrows tossed Keanu's way.
Originally titled "Devil's Own," it was based on a novel by Andrew Neiderman, which had a very downbeat ending with Kevin Lomax in jail.
