Ben Goessling of MASNSPORTS.com reports that Bryce Harper has busted out of his early slump in the instructional league:
"Bryce Harper went 3-for-4 today for the Nationals' instructional league team, hitting a homer and driving in five runs against the Braves.
Harper has been inconsistent in his first taste of professional baseball, and his early inconsistencies, while to be expected, are probably an indicator the 17-year-old isn't ready for the Arizona Fall League yet. But his riveting talent has been on display several times this fall, and his showing on Thursday was another instance of that."
One of the foundations of development is confidence, so it's a good thing Harper got this out of the way. The 17-year-old had struggled early in his first stint against professional pitching but he bounced back in a big way today. Of course, these sample sizes are ridiculously small, but a good outing has to be promising to both Nats fans and Harper himself.
Goessling also reports that Nationals starting pitcher Chien-Ming Wang made his debut on the mound since his return from injury, pitching one shutout inning in the Instructional League Wednesday. According to Goessling, Wang sat between 84-87 on the gun.

December 21, 2014
Romantic, fluid and cozy are just a few of the words designer Michael Kors used to describe his spring 2014 collection.
The native New Yorker showcased 56 looks at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York on Wednesday (September 11).
Before the show Kors said this season is all about sensuality.
"It's really all about romance and soften up. There's something about when the weather turns warm the idea of wearing clothes that actually catch the breeze. Which certainly feels great and I think it also looks great," Kors told Reuters.
The designer started the show with white linen looks for men and womenswear before going into hemp, indigo, blues, nutmeg and green.
"It sounds cliché to say but there are so many gorgeous colors in nature that for me, especially when the weather turns everyone's garden comes to life. So green automatically just makes me feel great. I love all of these beautiful cinnamon colors. But a lot of white, white automatically puts you in a great mood," he said.
Flirty skirts, dresses and pants were cut with movement in mind.
The ease of Kors' brand is always matched with lavish touches.
"I'm a jeans and t-shirts kind of guy but we love to always sort of have this juxtaposition of being about to do it in a very glamorous way. Our denim is all cashmere. We have denim lace. Our t-shirts are python. So it's the best of both worlds. How do you be causal and laid back and have that sort of romantic easy attitude, but still have glamour and luxury," he explained.
Kors' show is always a magnet for celebrities. Sitting front row were actresses Kate Mara and Katie Holmes.
"I've always been a fan of Michael Kors. I'm so excited to be here," said Holmes, who showcased new looks from her brand Holmes & Yang earlier in the week.
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York will end on September 12.

Following last year's unveiling of Nintendo's Wii U, it was clearly evident …

James Dennin, Kapitall: China's Cyber Monday makes ours look like just another weekday, but should US retail stocks worry?
It's no secret that Americans like their sales. Ever since the invention of Black Friday – a day when the inside of American retailers take on the look of a war zone - sales have grown steadily, perhaps to their breaking point.
[Read more on Retail from Kapitall: Could 3D Printing Actually Threaten Retailers like Walmart?]
Today China is expected to blow that out of the water. After the Chinese online retailer Alibaba began offering its inaugural November sales (an attempt to replicate America's shopping flurry around the holidays), China's version of Cyber Monday has ascended to overtake the sales of America's two biggest shopping days combined.And most sales are focused on this one, giant, online retailer. It's important to mention that a lot of the actual products purchased on Alibaba's websites still come from American companies. And since anyone who's been to a Duane Reade (WAG) in the last week or two knows that the holiday season is imminent – we decided to start compiling lists of promising retail stocks who might be set for a Christmas surge. Investing ideas Beginning with a universe of about 100 stocks that are specialty retailers, we wanted to look for signs of growing profitability before the holiday shopping season. One of the standard measures of profitability is the ever-popular metric, return on equity (ROE). However there's a big problem with ROE, because a company can boost the statistic by borrowing money. To get a more holistic measure of how good a company is at generating profits – the Dupont Corporation (DD) came up with a more refined statistic, the Dupont Breakdown: ROE = Net Profit Margin x Asset Efficiency x Financial Leverage By taking into account a company's profits, how well it's using assets on hand, and how much it is borrowing; investors can get a more reliable indicator of whether a company is becoming more profitable. A company with an encouraging Dupont breakdown is typically seen as making better use of its resources – which is a potential indicator that the stock may be ready to grow.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 546 - 12 December, 2001
Written Answers. - Waste Disposal.
Mr. McGuinness Mr. McGuinness
102. Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the date in 2002 he intends to introduce the charge of £15 per tonne at landfill sites operated by local authorities; if private operators will be levied in the same manner; and the purpose of the charge. [31991/01]
Mr. Dempsey Mr. Dempsey
Minister for the Environment and Local Government (Mr. Dempsey): I propose to introduce the landfill levy early in 2002 following consideration of the submissions received in response to the consultation paper recently issued by my Department. This proposed that the levy should be introduced at an initial flat rate of 15 per tonne, with annual increases thereafter of 5 per tonne. Liability for the levy will fall on the operator of a landfill facility, whether that is a natural person, a private company or a local authority.
The introduction of a landfill levy will help achieve the targets set in the Government's policy document changing our ways, by encouraging the diversion of waste away from landfill towards recycling and biological treatment options; generate revenues for the new environment fund that can be applied in support of waste minimisation and "high-in-hierarchy" recycling initiatives; and support improved enforcement initiatives by local authorities with regard to control of unauthorised waste activities.

Video Results for "scrap metal buyers"
Toms River, NJ - "scrap metal buyers" search results
About Industry & Agriculture
Local plastic scrap can be an excellent way to help the environment. Many of these facilities are close to home, making it much easier for a family to recycle. In addition, many local plastic scrap facilities may offer a monetary incentive for those who utilize these particular services. There are several benefits of local plastic scrap for the community and the environment. Some local plastic scrap facilities will pay the individual for recycling their plastic scrap. What they pay for and how much they pay, will depend on the center and the state in which you reside. For example, some plastic bottles have on them the amount that will be paid for each individual bottle and in what state. Taking these bottles to an approved local plastic scrap recycling facility will guarantee payment for these particular items. However, some centers may only pay based on the weight of the plastics. Some local plastic scrap recycling facility may be owned and operated by small local government and may not offer any type of payment for the scrap. To make recycling even easier, some local plastic scrap recycling centers will pick up the scrap. Typically, there is a fee associated with this and some may not offer pick up for a small amount of items. This may vary by the center but almost all will allow drop offs. When dropping off materials at a local scrap facility; keep in mind that there may only be certain times or certain areas where they accept scrap. Large quantities may go to a specific area, while the general public can drop off small amounts at almost any time at a designated area. For this reason, it is wise to check ahead.

More on Plastic Scrap
Local plastic scrap is not just for individual use, but often serves commercial and industrial businesses as well. Factories and other local businesses may find this to be a very beneficial service. Pick up is almost always available for large industrial and business purposes. Although they may have to pay a small disposal fee, they may be eligible for tax benefits for this contribution to the environment. It depends on the facility, location, and other important tax eligibility factors. Local plastic scrap recycling can play an important role in eliminating an abundance of unwanted commercial and industrial waste. The products created by local plastic scrap are used for various purposes. Almost all of the scrap is somehow reused. Some of the scrap will be used on products that we find on the shelves at local stores while some may be used to make industrial products. Several of the factories that utilize these scrap service will also use these products created from the scrap. Recycling is always a wise choice and taking advantage of local plastic scrap recycling just makes good sense. Not only is this a great contribution to the environment but can put money back into the consumers pocket. Local plastic scrap agencies make it much easier for the community to recycle and be socially responsible.

WASHINGTON, December 6, 2011 ― If you have shopped on the Internet, you have probably dealt with PayPal, the internet payment service giant. If you have shopped on the Internet more than once, you probably have a PayPal horror story. PayPal is famous for freezing funds, confiscating money, closing accounts without notice, charging fraud and numerous issues. In spite of all this, the site remains the most used and largest online commerce site on the internet.
Recently, Regretsy, a site that pokes fun at horrible crafting, ran a campaign to help needy children during the holiday season. Regretsy readers are amazing when the site calls out for help, and this toy drive was no different.
The campaign was supposed to run like this: Helen, the site owner, vetted families for need. Once she verified their need, she created a list of items for the family and put out a call for monetary donations on her site. When readers funded the list, she would go out and buy the items and send them to the families in need. Awesome idea, right?
Everything was going swimmingly; Helen had the families and put up the button on her site for donations. It was fully funded within hours. Helen began the process of buying the items needed for the families, unaware that PayPal was about to play the Grinch to her Santa Claus.
PayPal's main function is to facilitate transactions by individual users, usually through a button placed on an individual's website. Once a user clicks that button, PayPal then conducts the monetary transaction – taking money from one user (the buyer), giving it to another user (the seller) while keeping a fee for themselves. To use the PayPal service, you can select one of several PayPal buttons. Users can choose "Add to Cart", "Buy Now", or "Donate."
Helen, rightly deducing that hers was a donation situation, used the "Donate" button. Within 24 hours of collecting the money, PayPal contacted Helen informing her that she had used the wrong button and that she needed to refund all the money she collected. They sent her this notice:
"PayPal permits the donation button to be used by verified non-profit organizations. PayPal also permits donations to the accounts of individuals or organizations that are authorized to fundraise on behalf of verified non-profit organizations.
It appears that your PayPal account belongs to a corporation, and not a non-profit organization. Please refund the donations that you have collected."[source]
Mistakes happen. Since PayPal told Helen that the "Donate" button could only be used by non-profits, she chalked it up to user error and began to refund the money. Of course, PayPal gets to keep their fee. That doesn't get refunded.
Then Helen did something amazing (and if you have ever tried to contact PayPal, you know how truly miraculous this is); she got someone from PayPal on the phone. Remember that part where they told her the Donate button could only be used by verified non-profits? Turns out that is not true. Here is a portion of her conversation with PayPal:
PAYPAL: Only a nonprofit can use the Donate button.
ME: That's false. It says right in the PDF of instructions for the Donate button that it can be used for "worthy causes."
PAYPAL: I haven't seen that PDF. And what you're doing is not a worthy cause, it's charity.
ME: What's the difference?
PAYPAL: You can use the donate button to raise money for a sick cat, but not poor people.
And for good measure, the threw in some threats;
PAYPAL: You aren't going to be able to get around this. It's too late, we know what you're trying to do and we're not going to let you do it.[source]
Then they froze Helen's personal account, which contained sales from a recent published book sold on the site.
Sadly, these stories are common. Zivity, a site that sells adult photos, had been a PayPal customer for four years. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, PayPal told the site owner that her site was permanently limited. They said "after a recent review of your account activity, it has been determined that you are in violation of PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy". The issue seemed to be whether Zivity was in the business of adult-oriented materials. While there is debate on whether the photos on Zivity are porn or art (the website describes the photos as glamour, pinup, and art nudes), the bigger issues is how something that was acceptable for four years became verboten almost overnight. Zivity got their account restored, but only after TechCrunch and a local NBC station ran a story on the account closure.
There are literally thousands of stories on the web where PayPal has closed accounts and taken customer's money from their PayPal accounts and their checking accounts; usually they do so citing a violation of Terms of Service or charges of fraud. If this happens, the customer is left with little recourse to recover their funds or fight the charges against them.
The problem seems to lie in PayPal's classification. Since PayPal does not hold deposits, it is not a bank and does not fall under any regulation that would normally govern a bank's behaviors. [source] Despite PayPal's horrible reputation, there was little recourse if you wanted to sell something on the internet. PayPal has been the only game in town for a long time. However, that may be changing with the advent of Google Wallet.
Sadly, that will be too late for the kids who were to receive donations from Helen and her readers. Remember that next time you want to donate. Donate to sick cats? Perfectly acceptable. Donate to kids in need? Well, PayPal knows what you are doing and will stop you.

The 2009 Theory of Cryptography Conference starts next weekend in San Francisco.
The Center for Asian-America Media has kindly arranged for the 2009 San Francisco Asian Film Festival to coincide with the conference.
Most of the movies are playing at the Kabuki theater, which is about a mile away from the conference hotel. The Kabuki is part of a Japanese mall which is worth a visit (and a dinner) anyways. Across the street, there is Dosa, an oddly located South-Indian restaurant which is also very much worth a visit. If you are coming earlier, on Friday night you should head to the Castro Theater (a great San Francisco landmark) for Serpent's Path, a Japanese comedy-gangster mix about a mathematician who kidnaps a yakuza. On a more serious note, there is 24 City, playing on Sunday, the new Jia Zhangke movie about change in China. (I thought Still Life was exasperating, but I'll give him another chance.)
Other than eating and going to film festivals, there is plenty more to do in San Francisco.
For example the new, rather dramatic, California Academy of Science Museum is open to the public. It's best to buy tickets in advance. Across the street, the De Young Museum is in another rather beautiful new building in a city that otherwise has nearly no notable contemporary architecture. (The third exception is the new Federal Building.)
Check out SF Station for nightlife information, Yelp for reviews of restaurants and bars, and 511 for public transit information. (You can also call 511 from your phone.)
The stretch of Polk street just South of the conference hotel has several popular bars, such as the Hemlock.
I eventually found my way through the intimidatingly large program of the San Francisco International Film Festival, and to the festival itself.
The movie I most enjoyed was Sleep Dealer. It is set in a near-future where the kind of low-paying jobs now often held by immigrants from developing countries (driving taxis, constructions work, waiting tables) are done by machines that are controlled remotely via a virtual reality technology. And the machines are operated, of course, by low-paid workers in developing countries, so that the richer countries can have all the benefits of immigration, without the immigrants. During the Q&A, the filmmaker Alex Rivera made the point that (as far as he knows) this is the first movie to look into the future of developing countries. One often sees SF movies that imagine the future of New York, or London, but not of Tijuana or Delhi. One woman asked him how he reconciles the political message of his movie with the corporate sponsorship. (She noticed an acknowledgment to Coca Cola in the closing credits.) I liked his response: "we are all steeped in inescapable horror," he started, "the Gap clothes I am wearing were made in a sweatshop, and the meat I ate for dinner came from animals that were treated inhumanely." And he went on to say that we cannot fight everything, we have to keep on living, but for the big things, then it is worth trying to push back as much as possible. (I completely agree.)
Big Man Japan, about a middle-aged Japanese super-hero was also a lot of fun.
I also saw two movies from Chinese "sixth generation" directors. Still Life won the golden lion (the top prize) at the 2006 Venice film festival, and I should have known better than to go see it: European film festival juries are populated by the worst kind of film snobs, and watchable movies are not their thing. In the spirit of Italian neo-realismo, the movie is interested in seeing great societal change through the eyes of the "little people" that are affected by them, and via small, disjointed, stories. I don't get it. I concede, however, that the scenes about the towns being demolished in preparation for the rising level of water after the Three Gorges Dam is completed, are incomparably more moving, if considerably less polished, than the same images in Manufactured Landscapes Umbrella was a fascinating documentary shot as part of a large project that will produce ten documentaries a year for ten years. Following umbrellas from the places where they are produced, to the places where they are traded, to the places where they are used, the movie looks into five classes of Chinese society, factory workers, merchants, college students, soldiers, and farmers. The shots inside a PLA training facility are fascinating, and the final segment was very moving, with a peasant complaining about the rising costs of farming, the lack of welfare, and then reminiscing about the various farming policies from the 1950s on, and finally weeping by just thinking about the time of the cultural revolution.
The San Francisco International Film Festival starts in less than two weeks, and the program includes 104 movies, described in a 146-page program guide.
If any of you Bay Area readers has already done the work of studying the program and picking good movies, please do leave your recommendations in the comment thread. (I am writing notes on PCP for my class, I haven't done my taxes yet, there is a long-overdue post on Cheeger's inequality coming, and the energy to read through 104 movie reviews is lacking.)
The San Francisco International Film Festival is under way, and they are showing, today and on Wednesday, Il Caimano, Nanni Moretti's latest movie. It's a movie-within-a-movie story about Berlusconi's ascent to power and the inability of contemporary Italian left-leaning moviemakers to make movies with political content, unlike the earlier generation of, say, Elio Petri (the director of Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto).
Last weekend there was the North American premiere of The Heavenly Kings, by Bay Area's own Daniel Wu. Part mockumentary part Borat-style guerilla filmmaking, the movie follows four Hong Kong actors in their 30s as they form a "boy" band despite their inability to sing or dance, trick the Hong Kong press into believing they are for real, and eventually deliver a series of three concerts in Hong Kong, Taipei, and Shanghai. They came in person to the screenings for Q&A sessions, to the delight of a group of camera-wielding women sitting in the first rows.
If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, don't miss this movie playing at the Castro this Tuesday at seven. One of my favorite movies ever, it has an unforgettable soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, a stunning performance by Gian Maria Volonte', and a very clever, and perfectly executed, premise.
When I was in high school, I watched Young Frankenstein a few times too many, and so did some of my friends. We would sometimes reenact the "Sit down please. No, no, higher" gag at inappropriate times, or say "What a filthy job" when the weather threatened rain, and repeat our favorite lines ("You take the blonde, I'll take the one with the turban," "he is going to be very popular," "A.B. Normal") for no particular reason. Overall, I knew the movie pretty much by heart, in Italian, that is. (In Italy, foreign movies are dubbed, often by famous actors, not subtitled.) And the "quiet dignity and grace" scene is always with me whenever the excitement of the proof of a major result gives way to the realization that the proof has a fatal flaw.
I have never, however, seen the movie on a big screen. That's about to change, because the Castro Theater, that has already delighted me with big-screen showings of Manhattan, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Vertigo, 2001: A Space Odissey, The Rear Window, Rashomon, The Seven Samurai, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, and several other movies that came out before my time, is showing Young Frankenstein this weekend!
The funniest scenes in the movies are surreal and incongruous, so the context in which the movie is being screened is oddly appropriate. The movie will show on Saturday at midnight, preceded by a show by Heklina (of Trannyshack fame) and Peaches Christ (of Midnight Mass). What do drag queens have got to do with a nerd cult classic that, as far as I can see, is not camp at all? And then, the whole thing is somehow part of the International Bear Rendezvous of 2007. The bigger (and fatter, and hairer) question then being what do bears have got to do with drag queens and Mel Brooks?
All I can say is that this is the kind of thing that in New York, for all the superior choice of several art movie houses, cannot be found. Score one for San Francisco!
And The Seventh Seal is going to play next week! Now if only they would show The Blues Brothers…
[Update 2/19. I stand corrected. Now I see that every good comedy ought to be preceded by a drag show and to be seen with more than a thousand roaring bears.]
San Francisco is the city of the many film festivals, but this month the programmers of the Castro Theater are having too much fun. This weekend, there was a first annual canine film festival.
At the end of the month, there will be the the first ever Crispin Glover film festival in the world, and, just in time for FOCS, you can catch Crispin Glover in person on October 20, 21 and 22.
And who is Crispin Glover, you may ask? Older readers may remember him from such movies as Back to the Future, where he played George McFly, the nerdy father of Michael J. Fox's character.
Being back in San Francisco for a few days, I had a chance to catch Paper Doll, a documentary profiling a group of Filipino immigrants in Israel, working mostly as caregivers for the elderly.
The Philippines are, for some reason, great exporters of caregivers. Italy has a large such immigrant community, and so do many countries in East Asia. In Taiwan, for example, the exploitation of Filipino maids and caregivers made possible by immigration laws is a cause célèbre of leftist groups. The same legal problems arise in Israel, where a work visa is immediately voided if one is fired, resulting in illegal status and the possibility of deportation. Indeed, the same is true for software engineering on H1B visas in the US, but the difference in class, education, and type of employment (not to mention the possibility of permanent residency) does not quite create the same situation.
The main angle of the movie, however, is that the Filipinos profiled in the documentary are all transgender, and they have formed a group, called Paper Dolls, that performs drag shows at community events.
They are met with acceptance and prejudice in a way that is not always predictable. Their clients, including religious ones, are accepting (even though those working in ultra-orthodox neighborhoods are uncomfortable there). The relation between one of them and the elderly man that she cares for, in particular, is very touching. Their attempt to play their act at a big-name gay club in Tel-Aviv, however, ends in a disaster of cultural insensivity.
Eventually, the group disbands, partly because of the vagaries of the Israeli immigration laws, some of them going back to the Philippines, and some of them moving to London.
The movie does not quite have a point, and its own sensibility oscillates between exploitation and sympathy. If its point was to express this conflict, then it succeeds quite well.
Tuscany is a fierce place. Locals are famous in Italy for their imaginatively blasphemous way of swearing, their biting sense of humour, and their propensity for practical jokes. Citizens of different cities have rivalries that go back hundreds of years, and in some cities, like Siena, there are centuries-old rivalries between neighborhoods. Thanks to books like this, however, many Americans have an image of Tuscany as an extended, mellow, countryside where gentlemen sit in the gardens of their villas dipping fresh produce into olive oil, in the time that is not consumed by flirting with foreign women.
In fact, the theme of idyllic, if backwards, countryside/small town recurs even in the few Italian movies that achieve wide distribution in the US. (For example Io non ho paura or, a long time ago, Academy Award-winning Nuovo cinema Paradiso.)
Sometimes, people who have to listen to me complain about the above, or who are planning a trip to Italy, ask me what movies they could watch to get a sense of what Italy is like. Unfortunately, my first recommendations (Il Caimano or Aprile by Nanni Moretti, anything with Alberto Sordi) cannot be found in the US. Two good choices are Caro diario and La meglio gioventu', but it is L'ultimo bacio which comes to mind first.
(Note: I am not talking about the best recent movies from Italy, which are definitely Ozpetek's movies, but the best movies about Italy.)
L'ultimo bacio is mostly about the character flaws of the four male protaganists, all in their late 20s. The movie was a sensation among my friends (who were also in their late 20s and early 30s when the movie was released), and it spoke to them very personally. They saw an unflattering image of themselves, but, at the same time, the movie is sympathetic to its characters. I had already lived abroad for several years when I saw the movie, and it still felt too close for comfort. This was perhaps the most intensely and specifically Italian movie I had seen in a long time.
Now, however, there is an American remake. This sounds as implausible as an Italian remake of American Beauty, and I wonder what the producers were thinking and whether the movie will work at all.
The 30th Frameline film festival is under way. It can exist, and be such a big production, thanks to the contributions of the Frameline members and to the major sponsors. In addition, each screening has its own sponsor. The movie I saw today was sponsored by … Canada!
No kidding.
This is not an isolated act of kindness. The Frameline programmer who introduced the movie said that, over time, the Canadian government has contributed more than the US federal government to the festival.
I have two things to say: (1) foreign aid to needy countries is very noble; (2) I blame the electoral college.
