Meghan Markle wasn't 'A-list' enough for designers, friend says
It might be hard to believe, but there was a time when Meghan Markle wasn’t famous enough for fashion designers. While she was a regular on "Suits," she apparently wasn't appearing in enough movies for the fashion industry to notice her. “There were times when designers wouldn’t send her anything because she wasn’t an A-list actress or she wasn’t doing movies,” Martin said. MEGHAN MARKLE WAS A FAN OF BOXED MAC AND CHEESEApparently, after being ignored by stylists, Markle learned to fend for herself. An emotional Martin told King, “I know her so well and I know she doesn't deserve all this negative press.”

Craft Brewers Lighten Up and Take Aim at the ‘Sweaty Consumer’
For Sam Calagione, a founder of the craft brewery Dogfish Head, his company’s efforts to get healthier had a selfish origin. “I started to notice that I was getting an everything bagel on my midriff,” said Mr. Calagione, attributing the weight gain to the multiple beers he drinks daily for work. The craft beer market has expanded rapidly over the past decade, as breweries across the United States have dreamed up whimsical and inventive beers, often with unconventional ingredients — Beet sugar! — along with high calorie counts and elevated A.B.V. The same breweries are now looking to make products similar to one they have long ignored and even scorned: watery, light beer.

Why Outrage Over The New SAT 'Adversity Score' Is Misplaced
Getty ImagesRecent reports that the SAT will provide an “adversity score” for applicants have spurred a wave of criticism. In the ten days since the Wall Street Journal broke the story about what has become known as the “adversity score,” critics have piled on. It’s not as though the “adversity score” is the only thing admissions officers will consider. Standards for high school grades vary widely from school to school. By the time they take the SAT, it’s become a canyon that neither test prep nor an adversity score will do much to narrow.

Giannis Antetokounmpo still has much to learn on the path to greatness
“I will say Giannis is going to get better,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said after the Game 6 loss. “I like to think for us and to be excited about his future at 24 — I mean, it's just the easy narrative that this is part of Giannis' [growth]. But I think the thing that makes Giannis unique and exciting is in our minds, we feel like he's going to get a lot better. At 24 some guys are — I don't want to say they are who they are — and some of the great ones at 24 were the same at 30 and 32 and so on and so forth. Giannis, we feel like, has got a lot of room to grow.”

Dodgers' defensive prowess in the outfield has been a run-stopper
Roberts said left-hander Tony Cingrani suffered a setback with his left shoulder during a rehab outing for triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday. He said Cingrani, who has been on the injured list all season with a left shoulder impingement, was to be reexamined. … Outfielder Andrew Toles, who reported to the Dodgers’ spring training facility last month after not reporting for spring training because of a personal matter, isn’t at Camelback Ranch anymore, according to Roberts. ...Verdugo has been dealing with back tightness, Roberts said, and wasn’t in the Dodgers’ starting lineup Sunday after being taken out early Saturday. Roberts, however, said he expects Verdugo in the lineup Monday against the New York Mets.

Essential Arts: 300 artists and a $10-million birthday gift electrify MOCA's 40th
MOCA is at the center of one of the more intriguing details in the series of stories senior editor Alice Short put together on the past, present and future of downtown Los Angeles’ Grand Avenue. Describing his decades-long involvement as a driving force in making Grand Avenue an art and culture hub, philanthropist and entrepreneur Eli Broad recounts his frustration with Bunker Hill Associates, the developer consortium that, Broad writes, “wanted to put the museum inside its condo building, which I thought was insulting.“ Broad convinced the developers that architect Arata Isozaki’s building would be good for foot traffic, but had to agree that part of the building would be underground so that visitors could see the nearby apartment towers. “It was an unfortunate compromise for Los Angeles for a talented architect (who won this year’s Pritzker Prize),” Broad says, “and for me.”

Amid Rising Anti-Semitism, German Official Advises Jews Against Wearing Skullcaps in Public
BERLIN — Germany’s top official responsible for efforts against anti-Semitism suggested this weekend that Jews should not wear their skullcaps everywhere in public, setting off a debate about balancing personal safety and the right to religious freedom in the country. The recommendation by Felix Klein, a federal official, came amid growing evidence that, three-quarters of a century after the Holocaust, anti-Semitism is on the rise. In the interview published by the newspaper Die Welt and other outlets on Saturday, Mr. Klein said his thinking on the issue had changed. “I can’t tell Jews to wear the kippa everywhere in Germany,” he said, referring to the traditional skullcap. The remark suggested a sobering state of affairs in Germany, analysts said.
