Thorsten Heins: "RIM is Now Called 'BlackBerry'"
Thorsten Heins, CEO of RIM, continues to introduce BlackBerry 10: "RIM is now named 'BlackBerry."
"BlackBerry 10 will allow its user multitaks and be on the move from your home to your car to your health care." Today, a smartphone with a camera is already expected. That's why BlackBerry 10's focus will be on apps. To say that we reinvented this company is an uderstahtement. And we decided to build a whole platform from scratch as opposed to use someone else's."
Heins continues to thank RIM's developers for, "bringing the company to the future."

As we begin 2020, we would first like to review 2019 and then offer our thoughts for the coming year.
Market View April 2019: Strong Domestic Economic Growth
By Frank Beck April 24, 2019 Leave a comment
"Just released 1st quarter Gross Domestic Product was +3.2%. With almost 60% of the S&P 500 having already reported 1st quarter earnings, over 70% have beaten expectations, with the average beat at 7.5%. Our expectation: full year 2019 GDP will be close to +3%, with nominal GDP at +4.5% to +5.5%."
Market View January 2019: The Fed Chairman's Thud
2018 began with a roar and ended with a Federal Reserve Chairman's thud. With a strong economy, the stock market was clicking along nicely until Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, during an October 3rd interview, said the Fed was a long way from "neutral" interest rates. In fact, he alluded to the possibility that the Fed might raise rates until they are "restrictive" to economic growth.
Market View July 2018: Pathway to Growth
U.S. GDP, just reported, grew at 4.1% in the 2nd quarter and has averaged 3.1% for the past four quarters. The tax cuts, repatriation, and more friendly business environment has business and consumer confidence at the highest levels in 20 years. The result has been a recent surge in capex spending among businesses small and large.
As the employment rate has surged, resulting in more jobs than job applicants, business has begun to turn to productivity investment. These, along with concerns of debt and trade deficits are the topics for this quarter's Market View. More significantly, these will be the theme for our investing over the next few months to years.
Market View April 2018: Bull Market "long-in-the-tooth"?
It is likely that you've heard (probably many times) that the bull-market is old – one of the oldest in history. 1st, bull markets don't die of old age and 2nd, this one has been hampered by over-regulation and anti-business sentiment for much of its life.
Market View January 2018: Meaningful and Positive Impact of Tax Reform
Tax reform has created meaningful economic effects and significant investment opportunities. We discuss those opportunities, the impact of rising interest rates, and our investment themes for 2018 in this quarter's report.

When plans for remodeling their historic home proved beyond their reach, Annette and Charles Chapman built an updated Arts and Crafts-inspired home that allowed them to have the amenities they desired while staying in the neighborhood they loved.
The Edgewood Park neighborhood near downtown Vancouver, Washington offered Annette and Charles Chapman everything they wanted: a view of the Columbia River, walking distance to the downtown area, and close proximity to Officer's Row, a pictorial, tree-lined street filled with restored historic homes that once served as housing for soldiers, officers, and families stationed at Vancouver Barracks. So when Annette, a real estate agent, came across a 1906 property for sale in the area, she bought it without hesitation — even though her husband Charles hadn't even seen it. "I had to make a decision right then and there and he wasn't there," Annette says with a laugh.
Charles wasn't disappointed, though. He too was attracted to the distinctiveness, convenience, and character of the neighborhood. Both have seen their share of new neighborhoods, and were turned off by the lack of uniqueness in the homes. "The new neighborhoods here feel cookie-cutter," Annette says. "And the houses are right on top of each other," adds Charles. "You're looking into each other's bedroom."
The Edgewood Park area was a much better fit for their personal taste and professional lifestyle. With so many positive features to the area, Annette and Charles felt they had settled in their dream location. After eight years, they could only find one thing that wasn't ideal about Edgewood Park: their house.
At just 700 square feet, the 1906 structure was cramped, even for just two people and their pets. In the interest of restoring the historic structure, they considered remodeling, but ran into a host of costly challenges. The home's ancient plumbing was stapled to the outside walls in a retrofit that would require a complete redo; the wiring was a mishmash of out-of-date technologies that also dictated starting over — especially if they wanted the capabilities to handle today's technologies. But the nail in the coffin for their remodeling hopes was a crumbling basement foundation, the repair costs of which proved exorbitant.
Tearing down the aging structure and building a new home, was the couples' next best option. Starting with paper and pencil, the Chapman's began sketching their ideas onto paper. Annette and Charles had three main criteria for their new home: a side-load garage, a main-floor master suite, and a dining nook that faced the early morning light. With the newest home in the neighborhood being 50 years old, having an exterior that blended in with the historic styles of the neighborhood was also an important consideration. Charles visited many of the older neighborhoods in Vancouver and Portland, taking note of what he liked in the exterior details. By the time their ideas were flushed out, Charles had drawn up three plan possibilities.
The couple again hit a stumbling block when they discovered that the cost of drawing and engineering their custom plans was prohibitively expensive. Temporarily sidelined, the couple took their search online and found plan 2270CA from Alan Mascord Design Associates, Inc. "The plan matched almost exactly to what we wanted as far as the floor plan. The outside looked a bit different, but the floor plan was almost exactly the same," Charles says. The home's Craftsman-inspired exterior was appropriate for the neighborhood, and even though it didn't have all the features Charles envisioned, "we got them in a more modern version," he says.
Another advantage of the floor plan is its compact footprint. Even with its three-car garage and a main-level master suite — both of which often add width to the typical home — this design is less than 55 feet wide and just 54 feet deep, making it especially ideal for a restrictive infill lot, such as in the Chapman's case.
Cement board and shake siding and manufactured stone veneer were used to clad the exterior, affording the ideal mix of longevity and historical style. Defined by its twin gables straddling the front porch, the facade recalls a mix of design styles, according to Alan Mascord, of Alan Mascord Design Associates, Inc. "The exterior is an attractive mix of Arts and Crafts, Rustic, and Lodge styles all blended together…The appeal [of the exterior] is mainly the heavy timberwork in the front gables."
In order to save money and include the upgrades they wanted, Charles and Annette decided to take on the role of building the home themselves. Charles, who has previous experience in the remodeling industry and who also handles all of the remodeling and repairs for the couples' rental properties, served as the general contractor. Also a full-time flight attendant for Alaska Airlines, Charles had a flexible schedule that allowed him to supervise subcontractors during the day and work in the tasks he took on himself when his schedule permitted.
The project took just over a year to complete, a remarkable feat for owner-contractors, considering that the first month was spent tearing down the home and salvaging the materials to a friend. And even though the time commitment was demanding, the couple points out the many benefits of building their own home. "We did a lot of upgrades," Charles says. "When you do it yourself, you see why some builders put in vinyl and square granite instead of slab. It all adds up and it cuts into your profit. But when you're doing it yourself, you can do the upgrades that you want and [the home is] done the way you want it."
Their beautiful home is a testament to their hands-on oversight of the project. Naturally stained oak floors and vertical-grain fir trim serve as backdrop for the nature-inspired colors of the entry, kitchen, and great room. These public areas serve as the gateway into the home and provide the main living and entertaining spaces. The openness is a welcome change from their former tiny home, Charles says. "[The great room] is open and intimate. It's kind of like opposites that really complement each other. It's open…and yet you still have the division of rooms."
Frequent entertainers, Annette and Charles customized the public areas to suit their entertaining style. During the holidays, the couple erected a 16-foot Christmas tree in the great room, the size and stature of which proved stunning for a neighborhood party they hosted. "It's really a nice place to entertain," Annette adds. "You can have 40 people in here and there's plenty of room for them to mill around. It's a great house for entertaining."
To accommodate their serving needs, the couple modified the kitchen layout to include a 4x7-foot island that provides a large space to prepare food and display buffet-style appetizers.
The Chapman's kept the television out of the great room, preferring to emphasize connecting and conversing, rather than television viewing, when they are hosting guests. Instead, the television is located in one of the upper-level bedrooms, which was converted into a living space. "It's a different lifestyle," Charles says. "Most people have a giant nook right next to the fireplace. But we just didn't want to have a TV as a main focus when you have guests over."
In the absence of media equipment, an upright, antique piano serves as a conversation piece, along with the spectacular wall of windows along the rear. "[The window wall] lets in a lot of light," Charles says. "During the daytime, I never turn on any lights because there is so much light that comes in."
At times, the bay breakfast nook, which Charles wanted to face the early-morning light, gets so much sunlight, the Chapman's find themselves lowering the blinds for light control.
The upper-level bonus room was finished as an exercise room, complete with rubberized floor and vaulted ceiling for jumping rope. The other upper-level bedroom is used as a guest room. The main-level master suite is tucked behind the garage and next to the public areas, granting access to all of the main rooms without the need for traveling up and down a staircase. The arrangement gives Annette and Charles the option to live in the home even if traveling the staircase becomes cumbersome.
The home's den and dining room also were important features of the floor plan to Annette and Charles. The dining room houses their formal Craftsman-style dining room furniture and is used on holidays, special occasions, and dinner parties. The den functions as the couple's home office, where Annette runs her real estate business and where the couple manages their rental properties.
Expanding the living spaces to the outdoors are two bluestone patios, one in the backyard and one in the side yard. The Chapman's worked with a neighbor friend who is a master gardener to help them plan an area replete with lush vegetation, privacy hedges, and flowering perennials.
Now that Annette and Charles have a beautiful home to match their ideal neighborhood they describe themselves as "home bodies." They say rather be home than almost anywhere — just as it should be.

Hospitals could face $2 million fine for not disclosing prices under proposed Biden rule
Posted: Jul 19, 2021 7:06 PM CST
Patients rest in a hallway in an emergency room area.
By Tami Luhby, CNN
(CNN) -- The Biden administration is doubling down on a Trump-era rule that requires hospitals to disclose the rates they privately negotiate with insurers.
A large number of hospitals have yet to comply with that historic rule, which went into effect January 1 and also requires them to provide in an online, searchable way the rates for 300 common services, such as X-rays, outpatient visits, Cesarean deliveries and lab tests. In addition, hospitals must disclose the amount they are willing to accept in cash.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is proposing increasing the penalty for not complying with the rule, which is currently up to $300 a day. The move follows an executive order issued by President Joe Biden earlier this month that directed the Department of Health and Human Services to support existing hospital price transparency rules.
CMS wants to hike the fine to as much as $5,500 for hospitals with more than 30 beds, according to the proposed rule, released Monday. Smaller hospitals would still face a penalty of $300 a day.
The minimum annual penalty would be $109,500 per hospital, which is the current fine, but the maximum would increase to as much as $2 million per hospital.
Some 6,000 hospitals are subject to the price transparency rule.
CMS said it takes seriously concerns it has heard from consumers that hospitals are not making clear, accessible pricing information available online.
"With today's proposed rule, we are simply showing hospitals through stiffer penalties: Concealing the costs of services and procedures will not be tolerated by this administration," said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra.
Only 5.6% of hospitals were compliant with the rule, according to a recent review by PatientRightsAdvocate.org, a consumer group that looked at a random sample of 500 hospital websites.
Trump rule
The rule stems from an executive order that then-President Donald Trump issued in 2019. His administration argued that such price transparency will allow patients to shop for lower-priced medical services and help reduce health care costs overall.
Health policy experts aren't so sure, however. The theory is that patients will visit the hospital websites and choose lower-priced options, which will lead to competition in the US health care system and drive prices down. But studies show that previous transparency efforts haven't worked.
Only 9% of adults know that hospitals must disclose this information online, according to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation health tracking poll. And only 14% say they or someone in their family went online to research the price of treatment at a hospital over the past six months.
And hospitals, which unsuccessfully fought the rule in court, say it's an extra burden on them while they are battling the coronavirus. The industry argues that the disclosure could confuse patients rather than inform them. It does not tell consumers what out-of-pocket charges they may face, since the posted rates don't account for a patient's personal deductible or copay requirements.
Insurers must disclose out-of-pocket costs in 2023
A separate rule, which was made final in October and takes effect in 2023, requires insurers to provide an online shopping tool that allows consumers to see negotiated rates with providers and gives them estimates of their out-of-pocket costs for 500 common shoppable items and services.
The following year, insurers must show all remaining procedures, drugs and other items.
This measure was prompted by feedback that consumers are more interested in what they are on the hook for based on their insurance plans' deductibles and copays.


Lots of studies are coming out these days questioning whether or not there's a correlation between time spent on social media and one's overall happiness.
So far, the results have kind of been mixed. Spending too much time scrolling through pics of your friends that make them appear to be having more fun than you doesn't seem like it'd be a good anti-depressant but, at the moment, there's been no real definitive scientific conclusion one way or the other.

Design lead prepares to leave John St.
Executive design director Mo Bofill is planning to start a new venture in the fall.
By Josh Kolm
Executive design director Mooren "Mo" Bofill is preparing to leave her role leading the design department at John St.
Announced to the agency Wednesday afternoon, Bofill plans to start a new design venture, details of which will be announced closer to its launch in October.
"John St. has been so integral in my growth as a leader, a creative, and human," Bofill said. "I've learned and grown so much over the last five years, and the time felt right to move on to a new challenge."
Bofill will remain with John St. until Sept. 18.
"As a company of entrepreneurs, John St. fully supports her decision, although of course we're sad to see her go," Arthur Fleischmann, group CEO of Ogilvy and John St., tells strategy. "She's beloved at John St. for her big contributions and big heart. We're proud of Mo and only wish her the best."
Design director Justin Close will be "stepping up" his duties with Bofill's departure, Fleischmann says, leaning on the agency's bench strength in design, though additional announcements about staffing in the department are forthcoming.
Bofill first joined John St. in 2015, helping to start the agency's design practice. She has since worked across John St.'s full portfolio of clients, resulting in work, such as No Frills' "Hauler" platform, that has been recognized at D&AD, Cannes Lions, The One Show and ADCC. She is also a member of the RGD and helped create a design program at Miami Ad School Toronto.
Though she is keeping most details of her new venture under wraps until the fall, Bofill tells stratetgy that it will be a creative agency with design "inherently in the DNA" of all its offerings, including advertising.
"I've always believed that design isn't a department, it's a way of thinking," she says. "Design thinking is way in which we approach solving our client's problems to drive business growth, create meaningful experiences for people, and contribute to culture."
Despite it being a challenging year for the industry, Fleischmann says John St. has been able to avoid layoffs, furloughs, hour and salary reductions due to the pandemic. He says the agency's executive team has helped guide the agency through the crisis, adding that there has also been momentum on the new business front, such as healthcare business wins, picking up the account for Door Dash and being part of Theo, a WPP-led dedicated unit set up to serve Rogers. Fleischmann adds that there has also been a "cautious return to spending" by its other clients, which include Loblaw, Home Hardware, Boston Pizza, KFC, Tangerine and Mitsubishi.

Chancha via Circuito
Carolina Niño Büro has been on a roll with her music collaborations lately! Her latest album cover for Chancha via Circuito perfectly captures the downtempo delight remixed by DJ, producer and brother, Hermetics.
Chancha via Circuito is one of the pioneers of the digital cumbia genre: mashed-up, remixed dance-club reinterpretations of Afro-Colombian melodies and rhythms.
The title, Nagual, is named after a guardian spirit among Mexican and Central American Indians, believed to reside in an animal. In this piece, Carolina represents the essence of the Nagual and the Mesoamerican culture, by showing the power of the spirit animals, and the ancestral power of this ancient culture.
