Opening Statements: Wizards at Heat, Game 63
After a close victory against the lowly Milwaukee Bucks, the Washington Wizards are now on South Beach to take on the Miami Heat. The Wizards have gone 1-5 on the road against the Heat during the John Wall era, and that one victory came in April of 2012 when LeBron James and Chris Bosh did not play, and Dwyane Wade played fewer than three minutes. For the past three years, the months of March and April have represented two different schools of thought for these two teams. The Heat are coasting, intermittently resting key players and preparing for an extended mid-June playoff run. The Wizards are usually racking up moral victories, inflating their confidence against shorthanded or playoff-bound teams and imploring fans to re-up on season tickets by hyping up changes to come.
Tonight's Wizards vs. Heat matchup will be played under much different circumstances. Since LeBron put a 61-spot on the Charlotte Bobcats last week, the Heat have lost three straight games to the Rockets, Spurs, and Bulls—perfectly understandable losses for any team except the defending champions. The Wizards are on target to be participants (not spectators) in the playoffs, and they are currently the fifth-best team in the Eastern Conference at 33-29, winners of eight out of the last nine games. The two teams are jockeying for playoff position, and if the stars align (likely to honor the Heat) this game could be a preview of a playoff series. Considering the last time these two teams met, the Wizards ran roughshod over the Heat for four quarters, tonight's game figures to be memorable.
Here to discuss the Wizards, the Heat, and LeBron we have two special guests. Michael Wallace (@WallaceNBA_ESPN), who covers the NBA and the Miami Heat for ESPN.com and the Heat Index, and Michael Tillery (@michaeltillery), the creator of "The Starting Five," a senior writer at The Shadow League, and the host of "The Starting Five Live," which airs on RAPstation.com.

Q #1: Conventional wisdom says a team that is vying for a third straight NBA title and a place in history would not be looking to make any type of statement against a team like the Washington Wizards, who are happy just to be in the playoff hunt.
But given the way the Heat lost in D.C. in January, and the focus LeBron & Co. have been playing with since the All-Star Break, could the Heat be looking to put the Wizards in their place?
@WallaceNBA_ESPN: Considering the Heat will be coming off a tough road trip that already included losses in Houston and San Antonio before Sunday's game in Chicago [Author's note: They lost in Chicago too], the matchup with the Wizards on the second night of a back-to-back set looms as a major challenge. LeBron James and the Heat have played solid ball since the All-Star break, but they also know the Wizards have turned it up lately as well. The Wiz are also a team that has already beaten Miami and are building confidence, despite Nene's injury, heading toward the playoffs. It's a potentially dangerous game for the Heat on a number of levels.
Q #2: Last week you wrote about Dwyane Wade, 32, and his gracefully aging game. Based on those conversations with him, and what you've seen up close and personal, how much longer can he play? And can you picture him settling into the type of supportive role that Shane Battier and Ray Allen have in their mid-to-late 30s?
@WallaceNBA_ESPN: This might be the first full season that Wade has completely accepted that his high-flying 'Flash' days are behind him now. That doesn't mean that he won't have a few flashback moments of spectacular play above the rim. What he's shown this season is great balance and confidence in his midrange jumper and the ability to beat defenders as much with his savvy as he does with sheer athleticism. In other words, as I wrote in the piece referenced above, Wade is effectively embracing an old-man game. How long he plays will depend largely on how well those troublesome knees hold up. But if he gets another two seasons at the level he's at now, it's an accomplishment.
Q #3: True or False (and Why): The Heat need home court advantage to win a seven-game series over the Indiana Pacers.
@WallaceNBA_ESPN: False. Miami has proved each of the past three years it's reached the Finals that it's a team fully capable of winning big playoff games on the road. That said, never had home court advantage meant as much as it did to the Heat last season when they won Game 7s at home in the conference finals and against the Spurs to secure their second straight title. Indiana has made it a mission from the outset of this season to secure the No.1 seed and force the Heat to play that game in hostile territory. But LeBron James and crew are hardly intimidated by that prospect.
Q #4: The MVP race has turned into a Kevin Durant vs. LeBron James discussion. Durant, people say, is chasing his peers but LeBron is chasing history. Why is that? And who is your MVP?
@michaeltillery: Kevin Durant is chasing—however unintentional—the current NBA. Until he wins that first NBA championship or even his first MVP award, he can only be spoken in a current context of how the league is discussed. LeBron, on the other hand, is chasing history because he's gunning for his fifth NBA Finals and fifth MVP award. When those numbers are approached he has no current NBA peer, hence why he's chasing history. Think of the names we're beginning to talk about in comparison as his career moves into another stratosphere: Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson, Magic and Larry, Bill Russell and Michael Jordan. To put it into perspective, we are no longer talking about anything LeBron vs. Kobe Bryant—despite Bryant being an active NBA icon.
I understand fan desire for Kevin Durant to win this season's MVP award because of his incredible season (with Russell Westbrook out), OKC Thunder's success, and how he's viewed as a good guy, but no other player deserves the award as long as LeBron James is still at the top of his game and the Miami Heat are winning. After his 61-point outburst vs. the Bobcats, it strengthened LeBron's case despite him not being known as a scorer (and I wrote about it). He also has missed a probable Hall of Fame player in Dwyane Wade for stretches and the Heat have remained elite. When a player of his multi-faceted skill set is shooting at a 58 percent clip with the ball in his hands more than anyone else for a two-time defending champion, it's difficult to even mention any other name in the sport as more valuable than LeBron.

Nestled at the heart of the largest ski area in the world, Meribel is no stranger to hosting famous people. There are very few hotels here so celebrities can enjoy the privacy of their very own luxury ski chalet holiday. The restaurants and bars aren't as glitzy as neighbouring resort Courchevel, so this is perfect for anyone wanting some quality time with friends and family away from the crowds. You may have to look a little harder for celebrities here but many have their own properties in this charming village in the 3 Valleys. Emma Watson purchased a luxury chalet in 2008 for £1 million and now the demand for property in Meribel has increased so much that it is now rumoured to be is worth between 3-4 million.

Norway is a magical landscape with reliable snow conditions and unspoilt scenery. Skiing is the national sport of Norway and runs deep in their history and culture. Skiers have been enjoying the sport for over 4000 years in the country and have created some of the leading winter athletes. The ski areas aren't as vast as the French, Austrian or Swiss mountains, but for what they miss out in size they make up for in epic terrain, lack of queues and the friendly atmosphere.
The sheer beauty of the Norwegian landscape makes a trip here truly unique and special, and the possibilities of off piste rival some of the largest European resorts. With plenty winter activities to enjoy a ski holiday in Norway is a great choice for families. Non-ski adventures include husky sledding, ice climbing, horse-drawn sleighs, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.
With fantastic snow levels, Norway is a great choice for early and late season ski holidays as many resorts are open in November and operate through to May.

Comments about Otto Musica Artino Resonant shoulder rest:
This is one of the most attractive shoulder rests I've seen. The two holes in the rest improve the resonance of the violin under the ear, though the effects across the room are not clear. The bottom of the rest has thick padding, but building some swivel capacity into the legs would allow the angle of the rest to vary and thus permit it to fit more closely to the shape of the player's chest.

Rookie Jamie Buhrer training at hooker for NSW ahead of State of Origin I
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- May 21, 2012
JAMIE Buhrer insists he is not about to become an Origin bunny in the headlights - even if his big-game experience only extends to 41 minutes for Manly in last year's finals series.
The Sea Eagles utility revealed he had been training almost exclusively at hooker as the Blues continue preparations ahead of game one against Queensland at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
Buhrer has never played there at NRL level. And despite suggestions that his experience from the Sea Eagles' premiership run last season will help him handle the pressure of Origin, an analysis at his time on the field says he was barely used.
He played just nine minutes against the Warriors in the grand final, and he was only used sparingly against the Cowboys (12 minutes) and Brisbane (20 minutes) throughout the finals series.
"That's not going to bother me," Buhrer said. "Once you get out there, you block the crowd out anyway. Once the adrenaline starts pumping, it's the blokes across from you, and the ones next to you, who matter. You don't worry about how big the stage is and who's watching you. There isn't a whole lot out of those (finals) games that I learnt."
What Buhrer has, though, is a ton of ability and the Blues coaching staff are confident he can bring the same type of energy to the game from the bench as Knights skipper Kurt Gidley, who is sidelined with a shoulder injury.While Stuart is keeping his cards close to his chest about how he will use Buhrer, the man himself reckons he will be working out of dummy half.
Hooker isn't a new role for him. He played all his schoolboy rugby league in the No.9 jumper for Patrician Brothers' College Blacktown, and then spent a season-and-a-half there in his two years of under-20s for the Sea Eagles.But he's never been required to play at hooker at NRL level because Sea Eagles mainstay Matt Ballin is an 80-minute player.

Asked if he felt comfortable about playing in his old position on such a grand stage, Buhrer said: "Yeah, I am. Your job's made easy with the calibre of player around you. We've got a lot of high-calibre players here. My job's going to be to give good service, and make an impact. We've been picked on our performances and how we play. I want to have the same impact as Kurt Gidley."
"Sticky (Stuart) hasn't really sat me down and told me when I'm coming on and how I'll be used, but it will be more at No.9 than anything. And I don't know how long I'll get. I just know that wherever I go I'm going on to make an impact."
While Buhrer is untested at this level, he says he has felt the same pain as his experienced Blues teammates because of Queensland's six-year domination.
"No, I wouldn't say unscarred because I haven't been here before," Buhrer said. "I'm a New South Welshman - we all hate what's happened. I didn't play in them but I'm still dirty on losing."

Simultaneous versus sequential public good provision and the role of refunds -- An experimental study
We experimentally study contributing behavior to a threshold public good under simultaneous and sequential voluntary contribution mechanisms and investigate how refund policies interact with the mechanism. We find that, for a given refund rule, efficiency is greater under a sequential contribution mechanism than under a simultaneous contribution mechanism. Furthermore, for a given order of contributions, we find that full refund unambiguously achieves higher efficiency in the simultaneous mechanism while this is not the case in the sequential mechanism.

Or if it's on top of the screen, try placing the little black strip which is at the front of the sensor bar about 2 or 3 centre metres from the front of the of the tv (about half an inch if you don't use the metric system). This was the very first problem I encountered with the wii, it was easily solved.

missed by 4 to 5 cents on avg estimate by analysts looking for a floor to buy bet 15 and 15.50 ...what does anyone think
Apparently the higher margin products they are talking about are making there way into Samsung and Apple products. Interesting turn of events.
iodes Incorporated Earnings: Shrinking Margins for Fifth Consecutive Quarter, Net Income FallsResults: Net income for Diodes Incorporated fell to $6.7 million (14 cents per share) vs. $18 million (38 cents per share) a year earlier. This is a decline of 63% from the year-earlier quarter.Revenue: Fell 6.2% to $159.2 million from the year-earlier quarter.
Was it that big of a miss? I thought they wanted to grow the top line and improve margins...this is the first time that has happened in several quarters. Still, it is a big dropoff from the past so maybe you are right! I'll defer to others who know more about this company and sector.
Depends who you get your predictions from. Quoted from Wall Street Cheat Sheet:"Actual vs. Wall St. Expectations: Diodes Incorporated reported adjusted net income of 19 cents per share. By that measure, the company beat the mean estimate of 18 cents per share. It beat the average revenue estimate of $144 million."The company is betting on net global recovery in the next 2 quarters. That isn't a sure thing, but if you drill really deep it appears to come down to whether Europe will contain the impact of Greece leaving the Euro. Still not a sure thing, but I like the bull side.If there's a recovery, Diodes' ongoing strategy of taking any profitable business it can accomodate and giving away low-margin business when the capacity is needed for high-margin business ought to pay off.

A seminary does disability ministry
Western Seminary students had both needs and assets. So did the wider community's adults with disabilities.
Spring books
These days it's a rare novel that addresses disturbing social issues without flinching and treats religious faith as a force for good, without denying the complexity of either. That combination makes Rachel Simon's book, newly available in paperback, a pleasure to read and a fine choice for book clubs.
I was born missing my left arm below the elbow. This
technically means I have a disability, though I find it hard to identify with
the label. Missing my arm is simply what I know, part of my basic everyday
existence. I know the limits of my ability, but I see no need to define myself
by them.

There were five of us around the table: my husband, myself, my mother, and two medical students who had been assigned to dinner at our house. One of them said, "My parents always wanted more for me—a better education than they had, and a better job, and a higher salary. A better life. So isn't it hard to have a child with a disability?

The Data Dilemma
Charlotte Rogers (Marketing Week) and Steve McNicholas (Managing Director of Marketing Solutions at Callcredit)
Oct 12 2016
43 mins
Data and analytics are the lifeblood of effective marketing and consumer engagement. However, we found many of the marketers we recently surveyed are facing a data dilemma. On the one hand, they know data analytics is integral to achieving their marketing objectives. On the other hand, many are struggling with the resource-intensive nature that navigating data demands. This data dilemma is two sides of the same coin, where marketers can feel overpowered, rather than empowered, by data.
In this Marketing Week webinar, in association with Callcredit, we will explore some of the reasons behind The Data Dilemma and ways in which marketers can gain control over their data, to translate it into insight that drives growth.

In a data-centric workforce, metrics and benchmarks provide professionals reasons to invest, alter, and evolve their strategy. One of the biggest trends in content creation and delivery is conducting surveys to capture your target audience's pain points, thoughts, strategies, and drivers.

Nathan Anibaba, Head of business development, Tomorrow People Ltd
Aug 24 2016
23 mins
Instead of marketing to an impossibly large number of individuals marketers need to focus more on what your prospects have in common rather than what separates them.

This webinar will cover the following:

Real-time Personalisation: The power of conversational content
Spencer Waldron, Regional Manager - Western Europe at Prezi, & Dallas Jessup, Content Marketing Manager at BrightTALK
Aug 18 2016
40 mins
Over 61% of B2B marketers leverage personalised content to better shape the experience (Cintell). Marketers spend an enormous amount of time, bandwidth, and finances to create various content segmented by persona, stage, or vertical to have the best influence. But when it comes to creating and delivering presentations, many marketers and salespeople are still taking a traditional approach: build a different presentation for each opportunity, memorise a script and deliver the same one-way, linear presentation, no matter who the audience is or what information they need.
Enter conversational presenting, an emerging trend that allows you to customize your presentation in real-time to make the best connection for the most success. Prezi's European Regional Manager, Spencer Waldron, and BrightTALK's Senior Marketing Manager, Andrea Goodkind, will discuss some of the best tactics to evolve previously stale, one-sided presentations into personalised conversations. Topics may include:
Channels to leverage before the presentation to give the audience what they want
The questions you should always ask your audience in order to determine what will resonate with them the most
Live tactics for real-time content personalisation while presenting
