The surest way to know who you are is to understand who you are not. For as long as I can remember, I've thought myself a simple man. I prefer hamburgers to fancy cheeseburgers, with all their dolled-up, dairy-fied excess. I have a "Simplicity" calendar with lots of Lao Tzu quotes. I would rather micturate outdoors than indoors, as it connects me to the land while keeping down the weeds. And as long as we're showing our simplicity cards, I would rather say "squirt" than "micturate."
In short, I subscribe to Thoreau's philosophy: "Simplify, simplify." Or as we true minimalists say: "Simplify." I am not a materialist. I labor to stay content within each moment, so that when reading Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh on mindfulness, I try not to let my mind wander. Though sometimes it does. Such as when hearing the neighbors pull up in their spanking new Infiniti QX80. I don't keep up with the Joneses, which would be both difficult and expensive. But envying/resenting them is easy and costs me nothing.
Recently, however, I had a rude awakening when cleaning out my study and car, neither of which I'd seen the floor of in some years. Aside from my necessary possessions—fly rods, splitting wedges, chloroform (the usual)—there were three-year-old newspapers, ratty T-shirts I hadn't worn since Bush the Elder was president, orphaned power cords to now-defunct technologies. And that was for starters. After filling 19 trash bags of this stuff, I realized I'm a different kind of minimalist, the kind they call a maximalist. It's not that I acquire things for the sake of acquisition. It's just that once things have outlived their utility, I reward their loyal service by not throwing them away.
But I'm at peace with my failed minimalism, after observing the professional minimalists' hustle. Minimalism—not of the Frank Stella/Raymond Carver variety, but of the de-cluttering/Simple Living kind—has become the hipster's staple lifestyle-porn. And as with everything else hipsters have ruined, from farm-to-table-restaurants to growing beards, they've de-simplified the once-elegant idea of simplicity. Entire libraries of books are now written on how you need to discard your library. A glance at Amazon shows that 23 books on minimalism were published last month alone.
That's a lot of words being marshaled to basically say: Shed your excess. And among the wordiest of all is a duo calling themselves The Minimalists, two thirtysomething corporate-cubicle refugees who threw out 90 percent of their possessions and moved to a cabin in Montana. Pared down and shaped up, they now follow their dreams, which, best I can tell, involve making you feel like a moral failure for not following yours. (I'm being reductive, but since The Minimalists say less is more, they should applaud.)
In three years' time, they have become exemplars of the simple life—if your idea of simple living is giving TED Talks, going on 72-city meet-up tours, blogging incessantly about your lifestyle choices, patching together said "essays" into books (five and counting since 2011), and imploring readers to give you good Amazon reviews. All while boasting about how you no longer have an Internet connection in your home, even as you're eternally available on Facebook/Pinterest/Instagram and any one of the eight separate Twitter accounts you service. This, in order to exhibit "what remains"—the raw, vital essentials that give life true meaning and that you post pictures of online, so that you start sounding like the anorexic supermodel who, in religiously rejecting food, ends up obsessing about it even more than the sweatpanted butterball with a Western X-Tra Bacon Thickburger® in one hand and a bag of doughnuts in the other.
Oh, and The Minimalists also offer, for a fee, to mentor you online or teach you how to write better. Though it's difficult to imagine the sad case who would turn to writing coaches capable of this: "And thus the American dream is a misnomer. . . . [T]here is blood on the flag, our blood." To which a good American, doing his patriotic best, might respond: Why not buy a new flag at flagstore.com?
All this monastic minimalism is rather exhausting. Even in the downturn of our Gilded Age, it's easy to forget that half the world still lives on two dollars a day—minimalists not by choice or TED Talk, but by geographic hard luck. It's enough to send me running for the Dollar General to buy a rackful of plastic crap I can't identify, likely made by Chinese orphans who are paid a couple yuan a week minus gruel and water. At least they can appreciate the value of superfluous possessions, not knowing the luxury of having any to shed.

Now that "software is eating the world," in the words of Marc Andreessen, every once in awhile, we dinosaur types like to try our luck in the land of Web 2.0, 3.0, or Whatever.0 we're on at the moment. To that end, I recently applied to become a driver at Lyft, the "ride-sharing" service where drivers who drive their own personal vehicle with a giant pink moustache lashed to the grille (the Lyft trademark) are summoned to your location at the touch of an app. This way, users don't have to do the unthinkable, like look away from their smartphone while hailing a cab.
Hollywood, Fla.
Though four decades shy of being an octogenarian myself, I'm starting to know how they feel. For at the hurtling speed of change these days, even a casual observer of the scene is unwittingly turned into a perpetual obituarist, forever marking the loss of old friends. So it was again last week, when news broke that Blockbuster was shuttering all of its bricks-and-mortar video stores.
Berwyn, Ill.Tom Day is not a man given to extravagance. He thinks he's living high on a reporter's nickel if he orders a beef sandwich to go at the local Buona sub shop. He shops at Goodwill every Sunday, hoping to pick up bargains, like his handsome $35 suits. But if there's one superfluity that Day especially can't abide, it is that of empty rhetoric.
Like most civilized people of goodwill and sound reason, I've always held that violence isn't the answer. It is, however, an answer. Which is why if I ever see Larry Randolph again, I intend to knock his teeth out.

HOUSTON (AP) — Verizon Wireless has notified Texas employment officials that it plans to close a call center in Houston and cut nearly 950 jobs.
Verizon filed a notice with the Texas Workforce Commission saying it had given 943 workers at the customer service call center 60 days' notice that their jobs are being eliminated. The company intends to close the call center Aug. 25.
The New York-based company announced in March that it would close three call centers — in Houston and the Seattle and Detroit areas.
Verizon spokeswoman Sheryl Sellaway says the total number of Houston-based layoffs will likely change as some accept other jobs in the company.

Director and Monty Python member Terry Gilliam talked to Wired magazine about his recent film, The Zero Theorem, which features a reclusive computer genius who is searching for the meaning of life. Gilliam says he made the movie in part to highlight what disturbs him about our constantly connected culture. CIOs and other business leaders may find food for thought there about the potential downsides of big data. But what Gilliam says about the challenges he faces to reach viewers sounds similar to the struggles of any IT organization that is trying to develop more effective partnerships with marketing:
"I don't really know how to think of an audience, because there are a million different audiences out there," Gilliam says. "It's more, how do you get the people that might like what you do—and they're not always fans yet—how do you get their attention?"
It's not just a question for filmmakers on a small budget. What role do CIOs have helping CMOs define and reach out to customers (without intruding on their privacy).

New Manchester school district standards to give teachers more leeway
The new plan for teachers and administrators, outlined on Tuesday before the school board's Curriculum and Instruction Committee, is in several ways less rigorous than the previous plan.
Among the differences between the current system and the new one:
No evaluations will be linked to student performance assessment tests, although this is a feature of the "State Model System" proposed by the state Department of Education's Task Force on Effective Teaching in 2013.
Both the current system and the revised one primarily affect schools targeted for special federal funding because of poor test scores and disparities between the performance of minority and white students.
"SIG schools already have this in place," she said. "Our Title I schools need to think about piloting. They need to be in place a year from now. Our non-Title I schools need more time and training."

Scientists from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) published a study today in Nature Climate Change showing that besides marine inundation (flooding), low-lying coastal areas may also be vulnerable to "groundwater inundation," a factor largely unrecognized in earlier predictions on the effects of sea level rise (SLR). Previous research has predicted that by the end of the century, sea level may rise 1 meter. Kolja Rotzoll, Postdoctoral Researcher at the UHM Water Resources Research Center and Charles Fletcher, UHM Associate Dean, found that the flooded area in urban Honolulu, Hawaii, including groundwater inundation, is more than twice the area of marine inundation alone. Specifically, a 1-meter rise in sea level would inundate 10% of a 1-km wide heavily urbanized area along the shoreline of southern Oahu and 58% of the total flooded area is due to groundwater inundation.
"With groundwater tables near the ground surface, excluding groundwater inundation may underestimate the true threat to coastal communities," said Rotzoll, lead author of the study.
"This research has implications for communities that are assessing options for adapting to SLR. Adapting to marine inundation may require a very different set of options and alternatives than adapting to groundwater inundation," states Fletcher, Principle Investigator on the grant that funded the research.
Groundwater inundation is localized coastal-plain flooding due to a simultaneous rise of the groundwater table with sea level. Groundwater inundation is an additional risk faced by coastal communities and environments before marine flooding occurs because the groundwater table in unconfined aquifers typically moves with the ocean surface and lies above mean sea level at some distance from the shoreline.
Rotzoll and Fletcher combined measurements of the coastal groundwater elevation and tidal influence in urban Honolulu with a high-resolution digital elevation model. With this, they were able to assess vulnerability to groundwater inundation from SLR.
"We used the digital elevation model with our improved understanding of groundwater processes to identify areas vulnerable to marine inundation and groundwater inundation," Rotzoll explained. "It turned out that groundwater inundation poses a significant threat that had not been previously recognized."
Although effects of SLR on coastal areas have been discussed for a long time, this study is the first to explicitly assess the effects of including groundwater dynamics.
"Finding that the inundated areas double when including groundwater inundation in coastal flooding scenarios will certainly be a surprise for everyone assessing the effects of SLR without considering the local groundwater table," said Rotzoll. "We hope other coastal communities use our research as the basis for conducting their own localized analysis."
Strong evidence on climate change underscores the need for actions to reduce the impacts of SLR. Groundwater inundation has consequences for decision-makers, resource managers, and urban planners and may be applicable to many low-lying coastal areas, especially where the groundwater table is near the ground surface and groundwater withdrawal is not substantial. However, groundwater withdrawals can be used to mitigate effects of a rising water table, even if it means pumping brackish water to avoid inundation.
The authors will present the findings from this paper at two international meetings: the Geological Society of America Annual Meeting (Charlotte, NC) and the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting (San Francisco, CA).
The study's authors plan to substantiate their assessment of the groundwater table with further measurements throughout the coastal Honolulu caprock aquifer and improve understanding of the dynamics of the water table.

Supplies and demand: Constrained government spending has reduced public sector demand
IBISWorld's Office Supplies Dealers market research report provides the latest industry statistics and industry trends, allowing you to identify the products and customers driving revenue growth and profitability. The industry report identifies the leading companies and offers strategic industry analysis of the key factors influencing the market.
Over the past five years, price deflation and volatile economic conditions have negatively affected the Office Supplies Dealers industry, dampening demand for office supplies and eroding industry profit margins. Price competition has been a persistent obstacle to growth due in part to the presence of large retailers with the ability to attain economies of scale and pass on cost savings to consumers. This has intensified competition within the industry and supported growth in group buying activities, which pool the negotiating power of smaller players to access the same range of products and discounts available to larger retail chains. Price deflation has also occurred due to the ongoing decline in printing and the shift towards digital office supplies such as tablets and computers... purchase to read more
The industry exhibits a medium share of concentration, with the revenue of the four largest companies expected to contribute over 40.0% of industry revenue in 2014-15. The larger players have found themselves more vulnerable to broader trends in retail, with declining consumer spending and retail footprints that rely on a high volume of sales. The major players specialise in office supplies, but have sought to increasingly diversify their product range to incorporate other product segments in light of the shifting technological landscape. As industry players increasingly gravitate to the online space, they face strong competition from other specialist online retailers... purchase to read more

Katy Perry, Russell Brand Finalize Divorce
It's official. Funnyman Russell Brand, 36, and pop diva Katy Perry, 27, have ended their 15-month marriage, having "entered a comprehensive written settlement of all issues, including, without limitation, with respect to the property to be confirmed or assigned to each party," according to Los Angeles Superior Court documents.
In other words, their assets have been distributed according to their wishes. Perry asked that the court not award spousal support to Brand, even though he is officially entitled to half of her income during the marriage under California community property laws, according to People.
The split was relatively amicable, however, according to reports; Perry even signed the divorce papers, which listed the divorce as "an uncontested matter," with her trademark smiley face after the name. She will also restore her maiden name to Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson.

Originally written on Running With The Devils | Last updated 10/18/14
The all-of-the-sudden red hot scoring machine that is the New Jersey Devils play host to the season's done/not much left to play for New York Islanders tonight at The Rock. Here's the thing, when it comes to the Islanders this season, we've played some real stinkers. Here's a fact that you might not know, that won't make you feel good about tonight. 3 times this season the Devils have scored 6 goals in a game and 3 times that 6 goal game was followed up by a 5 goal game, most recently last week against Tampa Bay and then Carolina on Saturday. The previous 2 6 goal game then 5 goal games were followed up by a 1 goal game, 1 which we lost 4-1 to the Rangers on 12/16 and one that we beat the Rangers 1-0 on 2/7. SO, if I am a betting man, we are only putting 1 puck in the net tonight. Come on Hedburg, we need to keep every puck out of the net. This will be the final meeting between the Islanders and the Devils this season. The Devils lead the season series 3-2 but those 2 losses to the...

Regional Influence: Truckler
Location: the South Pacific
The Brown Chocolatey Mess of Fudgetopia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Stephie Fudge with a fair hand, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 24.27 billion Fudgetopians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Equality, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chupa . The average income tax rate is 95%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
The nation's favourite colour is red (Fudgetopia has found 2 easter eggs), government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, Fudgetopia is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and teenagers stay out into the wee hours of the morning "stargazing". Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Fudgetopia's national animal is the hasselhoff, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the fudger.
Fudgetopia is ranked 3,828th in the South Pacific and 106,427th in the world for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -16 on the Hayek Index.

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 10/23/14
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- This time a year ago, Oregon running back Kenjon Barner was dodging more questions ahead of the Rose Bowl about whether or not he would return for his senior season than about the opposing defense. This year, it's been all football. Barner ultimately took a gamble on one more season at Oregon and is now seeing a payoff even greater than he thought possible. "I couldn't have imagined that the time I spent at Oregon would go as well as it did and that I would learn as much as I did," Barner said. "Oregon's been good to me." Barner has been as good to Oregon as the school has been to him. The Riverside, Calif., native will leave Eugene as the second-leading rusher in Ducks history, with 3,480 career yards currently. He's been part of four BCS games and this season has compiled 1,624 yards and 21 touchdowns to help Oregon go 11-1 and reach Thursday night's Fiesta Bowl. Things might have gone a bit differently this season f...

FORT WAYNE – The four officers who fired weapons during Thursday's fatal shooting on the city's north side join five others this year who've faced similar situations – the highest number of officers involved in police action shootings in recent history, the city's police chief said.
On Thursday morning, city police shot and killed a 22-year-old man in the 7700 block of Weymouth Court after he began shooting at officers, firing rapidly and hitting several homes.
Nine city police officers have fired weapons that have resulted in four police action shooting deaths this year, Fort Wayne Police Chief Rusty York said.
On April 27, two police officers shot and killed 19-year-old Tavontae Haney, who ran from a traffic stop on the city's south side. Haney was carrying a handgun throughout the chase and was eventually caught by officers in a side yard of a vacant home in the 4300 block of Spatz Avenue, where he pointed his weapon at the officers, police said. Officers Cameron Norris, who has been on the department for more than two years, and Officer John Drummer, a 17-year veteran of the department, were placed on paid administrative leave as part of department policy.
On March 20, two police snipers shot Kenneth Knight, 45, after he shot a woman to death and barricaded himself inside a home at 3018 Holton Ave. with a 3-year-old boy hostage. Keith W. Wallace and Martin P. Grooms, the snipers who shot Knight, each had more than 20 years of experience on the department.
On Feb. 20 in the stairwell of an apartment building, a police officer shot Stephen O'Neal Wattley II, who was armed with pistol-grip assault rifle and suspected of robbing a nearby drugstore. Jeffery E. Burkholder Sr., a 31-year veteran of the department, fired his weapon multiple times, striking Wattley. A second officer, who has not been named, was also placed on paid administrative leave, although he did not fire his weapon, York said. That officer is not included in the total count.
Allen County Prosecutor Karen Richards ruled March 8 that Burkholder used justifiable force in the police action shooting.
The remaining three shootings are still under investigation by the prosecutor's office.
And while the number of officers involved is higher than usual, that's not the best way to measure these types of shootings, York said.
I think part of that, just the numbers, speaks to how effectively our officers responded tactically, York said.
They knew that they were getting into a potentially serious call and more officers responded.
York, who has been police chief since 2000, said four officer-involved shootings in a year is the most he can remember on his watch, a trend that he hopes doesn't continue.
I'm hoping, we're all hoping, that this is just an anomaly, York said.

Electric EG3
We don't know what it is about these oversized, frameless goggles that we can't get enough of. Maybe its the fact that you look like a fighter pilot/astronaut/halo soldier hybrid.

Originally written on The Juicy Online | Last updated 10/23/14
Somewhere in New England, fans of the New England Patriots are screaming BULLSH*T to the claim made by Minnesota Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel.According to a report, Cassel claims that he "taught" Patriots legendary QB Tom Brady everything he knows. As Cassel spoke with the Vikings media, he spoke in a cool, calm, collective tone, "I taught Tom everything.""I thought he really started to flourish after I got there. [Laughs] A lot of people don't understand much time we spent together. It's important to be together and be good teammates. And when you have a good [quarterback] room, it makes everybody better in the room. That's what it's all about."Cassel should have stopped when the reporters started laughing [at him].

FRIDAY, Jan. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Patients suffering from fibromyalgia do not appear to be at increased risk for mortality, but the risk of death as a result of suicide and accidents is increased, according to a study in the January issue of Arthritis Care & Research.
Frederick Wolfe, M.D., from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Wichita, and colleagues studied 8,186 patients with fibromyalgia from 1974 to 2009, and 10,087 control patients with osteoarthritis to determine if mortality is increased among patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The three groups they examined were fibromyalgia patients from one clinical practice, patients participating in the U.S. National Data Bank for Rheumatic Diseases (NDB), and patients invited to participate in the NDB who refused.
The researchers found that there were 539 deaths with an overall standardized mortality ratio (SMR) of 0.90. Among the 1,665 clinic patients, the SMR was 0.92. There was no increased risk of mortality seen among patients with fibromyalgia compared with those who had osteoarthritis. The standardized mortality for these patients was increased for suicide (odds ratio, 3.31) and for accidental deaths (odds ratio, 1.45), compared with the general population, but not for malignancy.
"The results of this study suggest that mortality is not increased in fibromyalgia," the authors write.
One study author disclosed financial relationships with pharmaceutical companies.

Moneyball is a Brad Pitt movie based on Michael Lewis's book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, about the Oakland Athletics team and how its general manager Billy Beane used sabermetrics to change the team's fortunes. (Or not, but you need to watch the movie or know the story). Moneyball the movie was released in the US this weekend and with an Aaron Sorkin script (West Wing, The Social Network, and Sports Night, possibly the best fictional TV show about sport, but that's another debate) has mostly received rave reviews. The promotional material describes it as "one of the greatest baseball movies ever made", but is it one of the best five?
- Moneyball
- Production year: 2011
- Country: USA
- Cert (UK): 12A
- Runtime: 133 mins
- Directors: Bennett Miller
- Cast: Brad Pitt, Chris Pratt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright, Stephen Bishop, Tammy Blanchard
Here's my suggested top five all-time baseball films, but you may disagree. And I leave it to you to decide whether Moneyball should be on the list:
5) Major League
The classic sporting tale: underdogs come good. Before Charlie Sheen was in Two and a Half Men and went slightly crazy.
4) Bull Durham
Kevin Costner clearly loves baseball, but here he is also teamed with Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon at their finest.
3) The Odd Couple
You may consider this an unfair entry because baseball barely features. But as a movie it is Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau at their double act best and this moment in Felix and Oscar's relationship is genius:
2) The Natural
A tale of lost youth and redemption, The Natural oozes the smell of the ballpark and a feeling for the history of the game.
Can you spot the difference between the young Roy Hobbs
and the old?
1) Field of Dreams
OK, I'm a sucker for schmaltz. And Costner baseball movies (and if you insist that I take The Odd Couple out of this list, I will only add For Love Of The Game). Is there a dry eye in the house by the end?
Near miss: Cobb starring Tommy Lee Jones as the not-easy-to-love Hall Of Famer.
Missing by a mile: The Perfect Catch transfers Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch, a tale of Arsenal's search for the English league title (and love), to the Boston Red Sox's bid to end the Curse of the Bambino, and loses its charm in the process.
Baseball movie that wasn't: For Love of the Game is given a twist of realism.
What the experts think: Salon.com asked a series of baseball writers and experts to make their choices.
And what of Moneyball: If you like baseball or Sorkin or Pitt films (and that must take in a wide array of moviegoers) then I recommend seeing it, if you haven't already. But this piece by Sports Illustrated puts the movie/book's theme into the context of what has happened to the game this millennium.
What is your top five?

Re:technical issue (308 comments)
oh btw - here is a youtube video of the fight
technical issue (308 comments)
this is, from my perspective, without a doubt a technical issue.
the people who got wiped out, if the killboards are correct - only destroyed 3 ships (helios, onyx and anathema)
for them to not have dropped any other ships in such and engagement, given their capability - can only mean they could not move or couldn't even see they were in a fight.
the killboards would also suggest the engagement was 421 against 65, even at those odds they should have destroyed a portion of the other fleet. even if it was 842 vs 65, nothing would prevent them from attacking except a technical issue.
i have been in engagements with over 800 in system (before dominion) and was able to function.
so, certainly there was a record broken on sheer lost of assets in one stroke, but it defiantly needs a foot note.
(also, if there was a deliberate attempt to drop the node, well yea - strike against them too, anyway)
there will no doubt be a rematch as the attacking alliance still owns another 20 titans

Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: Minister of State for Science and Technology and Ocean Development Kapil Sibal called on Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi at his Gopalapuram residence to seek a "large area in the seafront in Tamil Nadu to carry out research activities such as deep sea mining" and "coastal management."
"We want to carry on more activities in Tamil Nadu. So I requested the Chief Minister to look into a proposal by the Ministry to give a large area in the seafront in Tamil Nadu for carrying on research activities such as deep sea mining and others. As you know the Cabinet has in principle accorded approval to the setting up of a maritime university in Tamil Nadu and we hope that the setting up of the university and the grant of a seafront to us to carry out research and development would go hand in hand. This will enable us to invest more money in research activities in Tamil Nadu along the coast," he said.
Asked about the reaction of Mr. Karunanidhi, he said the Chief Minister told him that he would consider the issue very seriously.
When it was brought to his notice that a parliamentary committee was looking into the issue of setting up of maritime university, he said that it was only concerned about the methodology and "how it is to be done." Asked about the location of the university, he said: "We are setting up a maritime university. It will be located somewhere near the coast of some particular State." Asked if there would be two maritime universities, he said he did not know about that. "It is not under my domain. I only know that in principle it has been agreed to. The location is yet to be decided and wherever it is, it has to be near the coast. And wherever it is, now with Information Technology you can do a lot of activities."
D. Rajasekhar, head of the Vessel Management Cell at the National Institute of Ocean Technology, said the area the Minister sought was for his institute, which is located in Pallikaranai. "We have to use Chennai Port for our berthing facilities…Having our own area would be helpful in terms of convenience, better research, and financial terms, although there will be an initial capital investment," said Mr. Rajasekhar. He estimated that 30 per cent of the budget allocation for the operation of NIOT's ships was currently spent on paying Chennai Port for using its facilities.
Located on ECR
Mr. Rajasekhar said the land, identified about six months ago, was located on East Coast Road, south of Crocodile Park.
It runs along the coast for approximately two km and apart from providing berthing area for NIOT's ships, it would provide space to test its seabed crawlers, unmanned exploratory vessels and other experimental technologies.
