Google Touts Chromebooks From XP Upgrade
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- In today's brave new era of a world without Windows XP support the marketing experts at Google (GOOG) have an idea for you - buy a Chromebook instead of messing with switching to another version of Windows.
As of yesterday, Microsoft (MSFT) finally and officially stopped supporting it's ancient but still viable operating system Windows XP. Current statistics show 30% of desktops are still running the software. Windows XP was released for sale all the way back on Oct. 25, 2001.
Microsoft wanted to kill XP off years and years ago, but so many customers were discouraged by the deeply troubled Windows Vista (Windows 6) that they also refused to upgrade en mass to the next OS, Windows 7. By the time Windows XP users realized their software was really showing it's age, Microsoft was touting Windows 8 as the official substitute -- XP users refused to embrace that one too.So now, despite yesterday's release of the major upgrade for Windows 8.1, there are still millions of Windows XP users either looking for third-party software to protect their aging systems or being forced to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8.1. Or, if Google has its way, upgrade to a Chromebook. Google shares were up 0.81% trading at $559.40 mid-morning in New York. Google has an idea for individuals and businesses stuck with outdated Windows XP computers - buy Chromebooks. Chromebooks are inexpensive notebook-shaped computers that allow users to access the Web and and all that goes with it through the Chrome Web browser. The idea is for you to do your stuff in the browser and store what you need to in Google's corner of "the cloud." Google wants you to know buying a new Chromebook is an inexpensive way to upgrade your outdated Windows XP box. There is an ultimate limit to what you can accomplish with a Chromebook. They can't run applications made for either Windows or Mac computers. But, that limitation is also a big advantage in the enterprise. Chromebooks can also be an inexpensive way to connect workers to their tasks. Which is why Google is offering a new deal to businesses now forced to deal with the Windows XP upgrade dilemma. The company will give $100 off each enterprise-use Chromebook purchased by a company. Google is also teaming with VMware (VMW) and Citrix (CTXS) for discount solutions. There is a $200 deal for each "Chromebook for Business" device with VMware's "Desktop As A Service" software . Citrix fans are being offered a 25% discount on the company's "ZenApp Platinum Edition" when they buy a new Chromebook for Business. Both programs allow companies to offer cloud access to legacy Windows and custom-built apps. Chromebooks for Business start as consumer-grade notebook computers and have special management console software (plus support) added. They are currently produced for Google by Acer, Hewlett Packard (HPQ) and Samsung and range in price from $349 to $449. The devices are sold through Google's enterprise division.

However, the key is to push through the insecurities and remind ourselves that we are unique with many gifts & talents to offer the world. I founded Born For Greatness Youth Empowerment Resources as a solution to build confidence in children and help them to stay focused & motivated. One of my favorite quotes is from the late actress Beah Richards, and she said, "The World You Want To Live In Needs You To Create It". As long as there are children there is hope, because children come into this world with a clean slate and grow to become products of their environment (which includes family, school, community & media). We can create the world we want to live in by building confident children who impact the world in a positive way. We need to constantly remind our children that they are BORN FOR GREATNESS!!!" ~ Tamara Shirer

Anyone who's ever worn a headset while on Xbox Live, Microsoft's multiplayer gaming-chatting-shopping nexus, knows that it's dominated by adolescent bigots. It's bad enough that Redmond hasn't cleaned things up, but a gamer named Teresa says she was actually banned from the service for being openly gay and allegedly offending the bigots who were harassing her.
Apparently this sort of thing has happened before. Kotaku reports that Microsoft defends its actions by saying it objects to all content of a sexual nature, but there's a big difference between sex and sexual identity—isn't that obvious?—especially on a service that encourages users to dish about themselves, be it through their profiles, status messages or avatars.
(Former) Xbox Live gamer Teresa found herself on the receiving end of a ban from the service for a surprising reason. She identified herself as a lesbian in her Live profile.
That resulted in a ban from the service after her Xbox Live peers complained about her profile, according to a letter to the Consumerist.
It's not like we haven't heard this before. Microsoft has issued bans to players in the past for expressing their sexual preferences in Gamertags, but this is the first we've heard of profile info at the root cause of being kicked off Live.

Openly gay players are few and far between on Xbox Live, where gamers casually hurl epithets like fag while playing games such as Halo 3, above.

I'm knitting a very familiar pattern that I have not done in a while.
This is the sixth time that i have knit drive_thru. I'm making it for my youngest niece. I have the body and the first sleeve done and am at the half way point on the second. I want to finish this quickly so that i can start some of the projects that I picked up yesterday at the festival.

There is absolutely no progress to update.
Yesterday's company outing was to Governor's Island where we spent the day playing, eating and team building. It was a beautiful day, weather was perfect for spending the day outside. I knit not a further stitch as the outing included an open bar i indulged a tad. Had to text mom and ask that she pick me up at the train as driving wasn't a good idea. On the up side, I found that I did better at particular games after drinking a bit!

Here is day four of the sock. I didn't knit on the way home last night. I finished up the heel this morning and started up the cuff. Caught the local train so I had a bit more knitting time.
Today is the company outing to Governor's Island so I'll have bonus knitting time today.

Another Day
August 13th, 2014 · 1 Comment
Another 24 hours later and here's the sock…
I've got two short rows left and the heel is done. I'm trying something new for the heel. This is the OMG Heel from Megan Williams. SpinKnitLove inquired about the technique in yesterday's comment and it seemed serendipitous considering I was about an inch shy of starting a heel. Not sure how it fits yet, but I like the technique so far! I love that there's always more to learn in the fiber arts.
On another note, anyone know when AIG put their name back on their building? I remember when the pulled it down in the midst of the financial crisis, but I've been out of lower Manhattan since June of 2011. I noticed it on my way to the office sometime last week.
Interesting times.

Same sock 24 hours later:
I'm about an inch shy of starting the short row heel. Ah, it is good to be back. I do think the next project is not going to be socks. My niece has requested a sweater and I promised her one. I think I'll do Knit 'n Tonic's Swing Coat. I made one for my little girl ages ago and even have more than enough of the same yarn left. I was able to locate the yarn in stash and while I couldn't find the electronic version of the pattern, I have the printed copy I used way back in '05. Glad I save the print outs! I wasn't eager to buy another copy.
Time to get some bugs out.

So I've been working in the city again now since May 19th. I've now finished my fourth pair of socks since I've been back! My train ride isn't all that long, 30 min each way if I catch the express, with another 15 min on the ferry, but that's 45 min I didn't have at all when I was driving to work. Here's the pair I finished off on the boat Saturday:
To spice things up, I knit these cuff down with the flap heel! Haven't knit one of those in so long I had to look up a pattern. The yarn is the June 2014 Into the Whirled club yarn.
This morning I cast on the next pair, also in Into the Whirled yarn, colorway is Mukhina. Love the names that Cris comes up with.
By the time the ferry hit Wall Street, I'd finished the toe.

These socks need to be renamed the Screw Up Pair. First I made the second one 4 stitches too narrow. Needless to say that I had to rip it out as it did not fit Kathryn. I just checked my progress on the now re-enter cuff to see how much further I had before starting the ribbing:
My thumb nail is where the ribbing began on the first sock. I know what I'm doing tonight. Seriously you'd think that this was my first pair!

BEIJING: Diplomatic tension this week over reported Chinese computer
attacks on German government networks comes as security experts warn
that China is expanding its capacity to wage cyberwar as part of its
rapid military buildup.
U.S. and other foreign military analysts say that Chinese defense
planners have identified the heavy dependence on computers of most
modern military forces as a potential weakness that could be exploited
in a conflict.
They cite articles and reports in Chinese military journals and
magazines that suggest attacks aimed at extracting intelligence from
enemy computer networks or disrupting communication and signals
processing could deliver a decisive military advantage.
"It is part of China's concept of unlimited war," said Philip Yang, an
expert on the Chinese military and professor of international relations
at the National Taiwan University.
"The idea of unlimited war means employing all possible means including
nontraditional or nonconventional means in the aim of winning the war."
While sharp increases in annual defense outlays over much of the past
two decades have allowed China to increase the firepower of its
conventional and nuclear forces, it has also improved the People's
Liberation Army's capacity to exploit information technology, experts
"Chinese capabilities in this area have evolved from defending PRC
networks from attack to offensive operations against adversary
networks," Richard Lawless, deputy under secretary of defense for Asian
and Pacific affairs, told the House Armed Services Committee in June.
As part of its response to the threat of computer attack, the Pentagon
last year created a new cyberspace command to coordinate offensive and
defensive operations.
In a June report to Congress, the U.S.-China Economic and Security
Review Commission said that China's top military priority was preventing
Taiwan from declaring independence and deterring or delaying the arrival
of any intervening forces from the United States or even Japan in the
event of conflict.
Chinese defense planners also view cyber warfare as a means of
undermining the technological edge of American forces, the report said.
The report also cited testimony from General James Cartwright, commander
of the U.S. Strategic Command, that China was actively mounting cyber
reconnaissance of official and private American computer networks in an
effort to collect a wide range of important intelligence.
"General Cartwright testified that this information is akin to that
which in times past had to be gathered by human intelligence over a much
longer period of time," the report said.
Cartwright, who will next month become vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, also warned that the disruption and chaos arising from a
cyberattack could be as psychologically damaging as a weapon of mass
destruction, the commission report said.
Taiwan government agencies regularly complain of attack from mainland
And, senior Taiwan government officials acknowledge that cyber warfare
could threaten the self governing island's security in the event of a
conflict with the mainland.
Some military experts believe the People's Liberation Army could unleash
a concerted offensive against Taiwan's computer and communications
network aimed at undermining the island's defenses and morale before a
conventional attack or blockade.
"Cyberattack would probably be quite useful in terms of economic and
psychological impact," Yang said.
Some analysts argue that Taiwan's advanced computing and information
technology industry would allow the island's military to resist
cyberattack more readily than countering China's mounting conventional
Cyber warfare is one of the few areas of conflict where Taiwan could be
confident of maintaining an edge over the mainland, senior Taiwan
government officials say.
Tension over the suspected hacking, first reported Sunday in the German
news magazine Der Spiegel, dominated the three-day visit to China by
Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, which ended Wednesday.
Without directly accusing the Chinese military or confirming the
computer espionage, the German leader signaled that ties between the two
countries were at risk after meeting Monday with Prime Minister Wen
"We must together respect a set of game rules," Merkel said, referring
to the reported hacking at a joint news conference with Wen. "We need
mutual respect and we need to respect intellectual property rights."
In a sharp departure from the strident official denials that normally
follow accusations of spying, China was almost contrite in offering to
work with Germany to stamp out hacking.
Der Spiegel reported that German security experts in May had discovered
spying software, so-called spyware, infecting computers in government
departments including the Foreign Ministry, the Research and Development
Ministry, the Economics Ministry and Merkel's office.
A group of hackers believed to be linked to the Chinese military had
infiltrated these computers and the spyware was sending data back to
China, the report said, citing an investigation by German intelligence
At their joint news conference, Merkel and Wen declined to say if they
had discussed the report.
Without denying the computer attack, Wen attempted to distance the
Chinese government from any hacking. "When the Chinese government
ascertained there were reports saying hackers were breaking into the
German computer system, we in the government took it as a matter of
grave concern," he said.
"Hackers breaking into and sabotaging computers is a problem faced by
the entire world," he said.
"We are willing to maintain cooperation with the German government and
take firm and effective action to prevent all hacking acts that threaten
computer systems."
The Chinese Foreign Ministry was even more explicit.
"The Chinese government has always opposed and forbidden any criminal
acts undermining computer systems including hacking," a Foreign Ministry
spokeswoman, Jiang Yu, said in a statement posted on the ministry's Web
"We have explicit laws and regulations in this regard. Hacking is an
international issue and China is a frequent victim."
Some military analysts say it is possible that amateur or so-called
"patriotic hackers" in China were responsible for the attacks, but they
also note that it would be difficult to operate a large-scale operation
against a foreign government without alerting China's vigilant
cyberpolice. Visit signals thaw with Japan
The Chinese defense minister kicked off a five-day visit to Japan on
Wednesday, the first such visit in nearly a decade and a sign of thawing
relations despite concerns in Tokyo over rising Chinese military
spending, The Associated Press reported from Tokyo.
The Chinese defense minister, Cao Gangchuan, will inspect and address
Japan's self-defense troops, and meet his Japanese counterpart, Masahiko
Komura, to discuss bolstering defense cooperation, according to the
Japanese Defense Ministry.
Cao and Komura will consider setting up a defense hot line to bolster
communication between the countries' militaries, as well as reciprocal
port calls by navy ships, the ministry said.

Retail Snobbery–Assistant Professor Morgan Ward of the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University has co-authored a study entitled Should the Devil Sell Prada? Retail Rejection Increases Aspiring Consumers' Desire for the Brand that will appear in the October 2014 edition of the Journal of Consumer Research. According to research from the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business, sales go up when the staff luxury brands hire are ruder to customers. When customers get the brush off, apparently they are more apt to make a purchase and prove their worth. Sauder Marketing Professor Darren Dahl shares, "It appears that snobbiness might actually be a qualification worth considering for luxury brands like Louis Vuitton or Gucci. Our research indicates they can end up having a similar effect to an 'in-group' in high school that others aspire to join." However, it's important to note that participants in the study proved that "you've got to be the right kind of snob in the right kind of store for the effect to work". Also customers who had an increased desire to purchase saw diminishing desires two weeks later.

Too many people, too few resources | Letters | Nov. 20
I did a web search looking to see if any local clinics have the H1N1 flu vaccine available: Virginia Mason Winslow and The Doctor's Clinic don't have it; Bainbridge Pediatrics has it, but for their established patients only.
I have no idea how Bainbridge Pediatrics managed to get the vaccine, but shouldn't it be used for the high-risk groups first, such as kids with chronic health problems and pregnant women.
This situation strikes me as an example of overpopulation at work: too many people and too few resources, whether they are clean water, electricity, or H1N1 vaccine. Let's hope that our species finds a way to limit its numbers voluntarily so famine and diseases such as H1N1 don't do it for us.

Dayton Family Saying Goodbye To Dog 'Mesabi'

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) – Gov. Mark Dayton and his family are getting ready to say goodbye to one of their beloved pets.
Dayton's German Shepherd "Mesabi," likely has a cancerous tumor on his spleen. Dayton announced the news on his Facebook page on Monday.
Dayton said they are not going to put Mesabi through chemotherapy treatments and the family said they'll treasure every day they have left with the dog. About two years ago, Mesabi's sister Dakota died from the same condition.

If you are looking for a luxurious heat-and-relaxation thing to add to your home, but a steam room is too impractical and a hot tub is too much upkeep (and maybe too Jersey Shore), how about a sauna?
According to the Listed blog, they are among the most requested home improvements currently. Listed says:
Saunas have been at the core of Finnish culture for thousands of years, a traditional toasty respite in a cold and snowy climate, according to the nonprofit North American Sauna Society, an organization for those who use, build and sell saunas.
Unlike a steam shower, saunaing can be a communal activity (the Embassy of Finland in DC has a sauna that becomes a centerpiece of cultural events and parties) and unlike a hot tub, there's not constant mixing of chemicals and worrying about drowning. It's healthy and feels wonderful in the winter.
Best of all? It can cost as little as $3,000 to make a closet into a small sauna. The larger or more luxurious the sauna, the more it can cost.
Would you consider adding a sauna into your home?

Superman: I have many enemies who have tried to control me. And I live in fear that someday, they might succeed. If that should ever happen—if I should ever lose control—there would only be one sure way to stop me.In an optimistic setting, this device is from a character who is aware of their Kryptonite Factor and puts the means to stop them in the hands of another (usually, in case they're brainwashed or go evil somehow). This usually implies a bond of trust since the receiver often has mixed feelings about the idea and the giver has to insist. This is also a show of good faith to a skeptic so he will allow the hero to operate in a legal grey area. This trope is named after the ring Superman gave Batman in case he ever got out of control. Compare Betrayal Insurance where the "stopping" character came up with it on their own; exactly how extensive this planning comes off can seriously affect the relationship depending on how betrayed the other feels.
Batman: Do you realize what you're asking?
Superman: I do. I want the means to stop me in the hands of a man I can trust with my life.

The problem with formatting to hide spoilers is that formatting doesn't apply in the emails sent out when a subscribed thread is updated. You could possibly avoid this by using
[lots of blank lines]
[actual spoiler]
but that would make the thread painful to read.
Better to stick to the cryptic clues, I think :)
EDIT: though of course the problem with cryptic clues is that they can be confusing - at first, I thought @LeMarchand was referring to the actress playing Lyanna Stark :doh:
DOUBLE EDIT: another option for spoilers is to avoid them at first, then edit the post to add them in and hide them with formatting - because the edit wouldn't get emailed out...

Review: Capture and save any text with ClipTrap's clipboard enhancements.
Capture any text with this uniquely useful clipboard freeware.
Skwire Empire's ClipTrap is a free and portable clipboard utility with special appeal for programmers, engineers, or anyone who relies on text files. ClipTrap's developer wanted to capture data from a range of sources on a terminal emulator, so ClipTrap monitors the clipboard and copies any text to its window to be saved, appended, or discarded. ClipTrap can be customized with delimiters and various options, and you can search saved clips from the interface.
ClipTrap's user interface is small and plain but nicely rendered -- just how we like it. We could turn ClipTrap's clipboard monitoring on and off from the toolbar as well as Save and Append text and search, scroll, and pin the program. Large buttons let us clear the clipboard, copy text, or clear the window with a click. We clicked the "Options" tab and enabled Word Wrap, which clears up the view when lines aren't critical. In addition to basic program settings, ClipTrap has other useful options, such as Fonts, archival options, timestamp tokens, and a field for entering delimiters. Clicking "Help" opened a Web-based FormatTime page.
ClipTrap is easy to use. The Clips window was empty, but that's because our clipboard was empty, too, so step one was to copy some text, which immediately appeared in ClipTrap's window to be saved, deleted, or appended. The Append feature is particularly useful. ClipTrap's Options let you append new text to the top or bottom of existing files. All you have to do is copy text, click "Append," and browse to a saved file. ClipTrap automatically appends the new text to the file. How cool is that? ClipTrap probably isn't the first choice for most Windows users. But if automatically appending delimited text sounds awesome, ClipTrap is waiting.

The GOP sabotage of Obamacare
Humm ..... maybe not just the GOP
Labor Unions: Obamacare Will 'Shatter' Our Health Benefits, Cause 'Nightmare Scenarios'
Last Thursday, representatives of three of the nations largest unions fired off a letter to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, warning that Obamacare would shatter not only our hard-earned health benefits, but destroy the foundation of the 40 hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class.
Tone's just trying to get out in front of this historic clusterfark with a stream of excuses so his fan-club belief system will be allowed to bash on regardless.
Like Patrick Moynihan pointed out, you want to fix the problem of health care in the U.S.? Simply erase the age limit in Medicare.
RE: The OP
One can only hope so.
When the first, black president was elected, a corp group of Republicans, primarily from the South, swore that they would destroy his presidency. I don't see that anything has changed, as far as that goes.

Obamacare will destroy the economy and will make premiums go up(gee, some of us said it would happen), and more jobs are going part time to avoid having to pay the high costs, but it's republicans fault even though backroom deals with democrats(Nelson)were involved in this and republicans weren't even brought to the table on it. Good grief, liberals are stupid and never stop this rewriting of history. But what do you expect from people that keep voting for a guy who thinks we have 57 states?
Oh, the irony. "Have to pass it to see what's in it." Yeah, how did that work out?
"In order to ensure Americans understand how to access the benefits available to them when many provisions of the Affordable Care Act go online October 1, the Obama administration announced last month that it is setting up a call center that will be accessible to Americans 24 hours a day."
"One branch of that call center will be located in California's Contra Costa County, where, reportedly, 7,000 people applied for the 204 jobs. According to the Contra Costa Times, however, "about half the jobs are part-time, with no health benefits — a stinging disappointment to workers and local politicians who believed the positions would be full-time." The county supervisor, Karen Mitchoff, called the hiring process "a comedy of errors" and said she "never dreamed [the jobs] would be part-time."
Tell you what, my buddy was born with 2 bad kidneys. His 1st transplant bankrupted his family. Of course, it wasn't covered by insurance because it was preexisting. **** that. He got his 2nd kidney a few months ago, fortunately it was covered.
Anyone that wants to bash Obamacare can kiss my ass.
Who is going to pay for this? Employers are going to stop providing health care. That's the bottom line. So who is going to pay for all the people going on the government's dime?
$85,000,000,000 per month being printed up each month just to try and keep this economy going. They hinted at stopping it and the markets tanked.
16 trillion in debt last I check. It probably 17 now.......
Is there anyone here that feels like they aren't paying enough taxes already? Anyone want to pay more?
You taxes go to pay the bankers interest on the money it creates out of nothing and lends to the federal government. JFK said hey why do we borrow fake money from the bankers(Federal Reserve) when we can print it ourselves. So he did and 5 months later he was shot to death. When are you going to figure out the bankers are the problem? How do you manage to be so obtuse?
OP is complete and utter garbage.
Andrew Sullivan
Andrew was born in August 1963 and grew up in East Grinstead, West Sussex, England. He attended Reigate Grammar School, and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he took a First in Modern History and Modern Languages. He was also President of the Oxford Union, and spent his summer vacations as an actor in the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain.
In 1989, Sullivan wrote the first national cover-story in favor of marriage equality, and subsequently an essay, The Politics of Homosexuality in The New Republic in 1993, an article the Nation called the most influential of the decade in the gay rights movement. In 1995, he published his first book, Virtually Normal, a case for marriage equality, which was translated into a five languages. He testified against the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, edited an anthology, Same-Sex Marriage: Pro and Con and toured the country campaigning on the issue. His second book, Love Undetectable: Notes on Friendship, Sex, and Survival, was published in 1998 in the United States and Britain. Sullivan tested positive for HIV in 1993, and remains in good health. In 2006, he published The Conservative Soul, a critique of the direction of the American right in the new millennium. In 2007, he was one of the first political writers to champion the presidential campaign of Barack Obama and his cover-story for the Atlantic, Why Obama Matters, was regarded as a mile-stone in that campaigns messaging.
Sullivan is process of becoming an American citizen. He is United States Permanent Resident working his way to full citizenship.

Amber and Phil had an unforgettably romantic wedding on a private ranch in Palm Springs, Ca. Since they both spent time at the ranch growing up and cherished memories there, it was the perfect place for them to make their most important memory yet –saying "I do."
Their wedding was a beautiful balance of country and elegance and totally dripping with charm.
We love the time we spend photographing each bride on her wedding day. (it's one of our favorite parts)
Amber was a stunning bride. Every moment photographing her was better than the previous… She looks so happy and content, clearly overjoyed to say "I do."
We loved capturing details of the venue together with our beautiful bride.
Then, something magical happens. The bride and groom's first glimpse of each other, a look that brings out emotion like no other moment can.
We cherish the chance to encourage and capture these crazy-in-love moments… The moments when there is truly no one else in the world.
This is a moment Amber and Phil will remember forever.

It's important to us to capture details that show off the beautiful location each bride and groom choses to say "I do."
The moments after the "I do" are always the sweetest…
enjoy more of their story…

Over the next 10 years, one of the biggest risks to investors could come from owning bonds, says Mark Lamoriello, an adviser in Lake Mary, Fla.
Journal Report
- Insights from The Experts
- Read more at WSJ.com/WealthReport
More in Investing in Funds & ETFs
Given their low yields, bond investments over time won't keep up with inflation, he says. In addition, bond prices could fall in the near term if interest rates rise as he expects.
To help protect clients, Mr. Lamoriello has been adding to funds that buy short-term bonds, which hold up better when rates rise.
He also is adding to alternatives funds that have bond-like characteristics but aren't closely tied to interest rates. For example, for clients who can handle moderate risk, he now allocates 5% of the portfolio to Driehaus Active Income, which buys short-term debt but also bets against bonds. The fund's effective duration is less than one year, which makes it "almost insensitive to interest rates," he says.
How Does Your Allocation Compare?
See how your current investment allocation compares with the latest suggestion and with the holdings of other Wall Street Journal readers.
This column features model portfolios of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, from prominent investors. Mr. Lamoriello is president of Lamco Advisory Services, which was founded in 1991 and manages $1.8 billion.
Here, Mr. Lamoriello shares a model portfolio for clients with a moderate risk appetite. A typical client in such a portfolio earned an average of 6.6% a year over the three years through Dec. 31, net of Lamco's fee. The firm charges 0.85% annually for $1 million in assets, and less for more assets.

Danish designer Louise Campbell's intricate Papercuts series of paper lamps really shined during Milan Design Week. Folded from paper just like origami and then sliced with delicate cutouts, the fixtures cast festive shadows on the wall when illuminated. Campbell crafted the fixtures with the support of Danish Crafts, and has received several international awards for her designs.
Campbell originally planned her Papercuts lamps to be fashioned out of laser cut steel and textiles. But while she worked on creating models, she realized the ability of paper to be cut and folded so precisely made it a desirable choice for the lamps. Paper, of course, is not the most practical medium for an electric lamp and it is also difficult to clean and is easily damaged. But from Campbell's point of view, light itself is delicate, and paper became the best possible material that could play with both illumination and shadows.
Working with Louis Paulson Lighting, Campbell created her Papercuts series as another example of how she can work with any material given the situation and demands of a client. She approaches her projects with a sense of adventure and the materials themselves are part of that journey. To that end, her lamps shined through at Milan.

Assistant director Matsoukas, herself a beautiful woman wearing jeans and a cut-off Ethiopian soccer jersey and carrying a Frida Kahlo bag, doesn't much like questions about the difference between women in front of and behind the camera either. Her job mostly seems to be delivering the right kind of girl for each scene. ("Get the black girl; she was good," Watanabe-Batton tells her, and back Matsoukas comes with Genie, a lean, long-haired, long-limbed Slip-N-Slide video favorite who dances at the Liberty City club Foxy Ladies. An aspiring actress, Genie says, "I'm doing videos cuz that's how you get discovered.")
"I'd rather not comment," Matsoukas says, looking away. But she can't help herself. "My politics are different. But I look at it as I'm getting a lot of filmmaking experience." She stops and starts again. "I think hip-hop is really powerful, and young people get their ideas from music videos. But I'd rather not say any more." She does. "I'm not in the director's chair. When I direct, it will be different." But maybe it won't be. "A lot of it is that the artist knows what he wants to do," she says, more to herself than anyone else, "and if the director doesn't do that, you're not the director anymore."

October 21, 2014 12:01 am
The Royals have the speed, the Giants have the skipper, and both teams have momentum in an unlikely World Series matchup.
On July 28th, the Giants were four games behind the Dodgers, the Royals were five behind the Tigers, and PECOTA put their combined odds of winning the World Series at 4 percent. Neither was a preseason favorite to win the division, neither won the division, neither won 90 games, neither has an MVP candidate or a Cy Young candidate. Neither team's manager will win manager of the year, and neither will be the favorite to win a division going into next year's season. They are a combined 16-2 against the postseason gantlet, and PECOTA puts their combined odds of winning the World Series at 100 percent.

The commissioner's lasting legacy isn't randomness and meaningless. It's a more fair world.
For all the excitement of this postseason's individual games, there is a fairly common sentiment out there that something sucks about a system so random that sub-par teams get to fluke their way to the World Series, thus stripping the season of its power to make sure the best teams are rewarded. Why play a long season and then reduce the championship to coin flips? Why continually expand postseason until every champ resembles Chris Moneymaker? Zachary Levine foretold this postseason in his epitaph for Bud Selig, written in August:

Andrew Friedman might be the most revered executive in the game--Billy Beane included--and the richest team in baseball just hired him.
On the one hand, Andrew Friedman is one of the only executives with a book written about him—or, at least, a book read by more than the author's closest friends and relatives. On that hand, he runs a team that, when it succeeds, is largely credited to his genius (and the genius of his front office). On that hand, his Rays have been experimental and at the vanguard of various "trends"—at various times shifting, locking up pre-arb players ever earlier, building around defense, resisting multi-year contracts to relievers, or giving what figuratively seem like literally millions of at-bats to Jose Molina—that have become routine, even over-fished, around the league years later. We tend to see his Rays as the first clinical trial for the strategies that will soon be ubiquitous, so we pay a ton of attention to him. Because of all this, we know a lot about Andrew Friedman, who the Dodgers just poached to be president of baseball operations.
On the other, he has run perhaps the most opaque organization in the game. I once heard about a former Rays intern who was applying for another job. Standard industry practice in this situation is to pump the applicant for information about what his old team was doing, the research, the secrets. Heck, some of the time this fact-finding might be the only reason the interview is even taking place. But this intern wouldn't budge. Again and again, he told the team that he was interviewing with, the team he was trying to impress, that, well, shoot, he'd love to, but he just couldn't, not with his non-disclosure agreement, not when we're talking about the Rays. The Rays were a black box. Their local media, for the most part, never got the Rays, and the Rays never gave them much to get. We know, in some ways, very little about Andrew Friedman.

A look at one game in the life of the Royals' supposed weak spot.
Recap: The Orioles jumped ahead but only by a run, Jeremy Guthrie was better than expected, the Royals erased the lead in the middle innings, jumped out ahead in the sixth, their defense and bullpen shut things down from the seventh on, and the Royals are up three games to none. In a postgame press conference, Guthrie took to wearing a taunting shirt based on the worst, I mean really the worst pop song of the year. He can get away with it because the Royals are about to go to the World Series and everybody except the Orioles and a few Angels fans is happy about it. Considering it was a 2-1 game in an LCS, it wasn't all that interesting of a game. Lorenzo Cain made a nice catch. Mike Moustakas made a nice catch. Some more people on Twitter made Wil Myers jokes. Home sweep home, how sweep it is, ain't glove the sweepest thing, from the outhouse to the penthouse sweep. That's the recap. Forgive me if I'm not inspired to do more, strict-recapwise.
