| + | == Top 100- Limitations of the exercise == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>By | ||
| + | Top 100 problems: Ranking Omer Asik versus Monta Ellis is no easy task. (Gary Dineen/Getty Images) | ||
| + | The impulse of comparison is encouraged by the very nature of sports. One team bests its opponent. One player dominates a matchup. One teammate overtakes another on the depth chart. Games and leagues are built on that engine of relativity, and the NBA is no exception. | ||
| + | It s in that spirit that The Point Forward offered an endeavor to identify and order the best players in basketball this coming season. The scope of our ranking is relatively simple (no weight is given to long-term development,[http://o0mcz0o.summerhost.info/forum/showthread.php?p=12495#post12495 Gunman kills ‘several’ at US navy yard in Washington], and as little emphasis as possible was placed on team context), but there is nonetheless a daunting complication inherent to the exercise itself. Put simply: While we made a considered effort to somehow compare an incredible assortment of NBA talent,[http://zhhwdx.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=19930 MIAMI- Ingrid makes landfall on Mexico's coast, weakens], there s little grounds to suggest that players can be assigned any kind of absolute basketball value. | ||
| + | That,[http://www.tulife.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=114736&fromuid=13814 Actor Billy Connolly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, undergoes surgery], in a word, is a doozy. | ||
| + | |||
| + | On the one hand, the decision to divorce players from their real-life team settings is essential in a project of this nature. No player ought be penalized for landing on the wrong team, just as no lesser contributor should be promoted merely for filling an ideal role. Players need to be evaluated individually to whatever extent such a thing is possible, and to that end the disregard of team factors helps us inch closer to some measure of objective quality. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Yet at the same time, basketball players are almost unavoidably subject to context. There are certain luminaries for which being a fit is a non-issue an elite class of flexible superstars that would work in most every system and would mesh with most any roster. They are the extreme minority and run maybe three deep. The overwhelming majority, meanwhile, need specific factors in place in order to maximize their on-court value: a particular number of touches, a certain magnitude of a role, a customized set of responsibilities. Some players are inevitably more pliable than others when it comes to compromising on those needs, but that in itself creates problems for defining player value across the board. How does one accurately measure player worth when every individual s value is so deeply conditional? | ||
| + | Making that determination inevitably becomes a matter of taste, as we don t otherwise have the means to make sense of such disparate items. It s hard enough comparing vastly different players at entirely different positions say, Omer Asik and Monta Ellis but another matter entirely given that both players have unique prerequisites to their effectiveness. If Asik is the defensive balance to offense-first lineups as he was in Houston last season, his strengths can be accentuated while his weaknesses are disguised. If not, he s a lesser player, relatively, on the grounds that his lack of offensive skill can so severely cramp his team s scoring operations. | ||
| + | An entirely different set of concerns are in play with Ellis, who very much needs helpful defenders,[http://tribemain.tribecomics.com/ Road Warrior Travel Tips- Arrange for a Taxi Before Arriving, Jeremy Wall of JP Wall], spot shooters, and supporting playmakers in order to get the most out of his own game. When all of that is in place, Ellis can be a legitimate weapon. Without it, he can grind even a quality team into mediocrity with his inefficiency and unchecked domination of the ball. | ||
| + | Such factors define the range between a player s ceiling and floor, though without necessarily addressing the probability that either is actually met.?How does one place Tyson Chandler without knowing if he ll have a solid point guard to make use of his game-changing offensive potential? Or rank Rajon Rondo without understanding how likely he is to have the supporting scorers he so desperately needs? And in contrast, where does this line of thinking leave Kawhi Leonard an outstanding role player who could fit most any team, albeit without contributing at so lofty a level? | ||
| + | Certain players are indisputably more challenging to build around than others,[http://linux.24hr.se/w/index.php/Anv%C3%A4ndare:Mbqiigfhz1#Jets_release_Robert_Malone.2C_sign_Ryan_Quigley Jets release Robert Malone, sign Ryan Quigley], and in some way that distinction should be taken into account in a ranking like this one. There s just no clean, satisfying way to do so, and thus no perfect fashion to consider each player on his own merits. That doesn t diminish the value of these results or the process behind them. It s simply important to note that a player s worth shifts dramatically with his surroundings, and with that comes an unavoidable imbalance to any and every comparative ranking of this kind. | ||

| + | |||
| + | <html>plans to build a new headquarters in Portland, Ore.,[http://www.jinghuazhi.com/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=137771 ], finally ending speculation about the company’s plans for an office site it owns in York County. | ||
| + | It’s unclear how the truck maker’s plan will impact administrative jobs now based in Fort Mill. | ||
| + | Daimler Trucks is expected to announce its headquarters consolidation on Friday, according to a report by the Portland Business Journal,[http://smw.iranyar.com/index.php?title=%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B1:Booyfrvq0 List of Navy Yard shooting victims], a sister paper | ||
| + | In 2008, the company bought about 400 acres in the planned Allison Creek community on S.C. Highway 274. York County officials working with the company said at the time that Daimler Trucks was working to eventually bring a 3,000-employee headquarters to the site. | ||
| + | The purchase price for the property was $16.2 million. The property remains undeveloped and was part of a larger 2,300-acre mixed-use development that failed to take off during the Great Recession. | ||
| + | The company still owns the land in York County. | ||
| + | Daimler operates five truck-assembly and parts plants in the Carolinas that employ 6,700. Of that total, 4,900 employees work in three Charlotte-area production facilities. | ||

| + | == Orlando TV station now denies apologizing for having to show == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>Posted by Mike Florio on September 17, 2013,[http://www.gamesquare.de/wiki/index.php/Benutzer:Pljyedsm1 Jonathan Ferrell- Unarmed Man Shot 10 Times By Police Office], 9:20 AM EDT | ||
| + | Getty ImagesOn Sunday, the Orlando CBS affiliate apologized via screen crawl for having to televise the Jaguars-Raiders game instead of Manning Bowl III. | ||
| + | Now, in lieu of apologizing to the Jaguars for apologizing about the Jaguars, WKMG in Orlando claims it never apologized. | ||
| + | In a Facebook message,[http://creobbs.com/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=210472 ], WKMG General Manager Skip Valet says the station never issued an apology for having to show the Jaguars game. | ||
| + | Friends, please you read on the lazy blogs, the message begins. They aggregate news, spin it to be funny, and don t bother to do any real reporting, even the simplest step of calling someone. Below is the truth. | ||
| + | The truth (at least WKMG s current version of it) is that the station felt compelled to issue a clarification because fans were confused by the constant promotion of the Broncos-Giants game during the 1:00 p.m. ET game televised locally by CBS.? (You know, the promotion that included an express mention that some viewers would be getting Jaguars-Raiders instead.) | ||
| + | Our viewers were confused and angry,[http://sirio.empolese-valdelsa.it/wiki/index.php/Utente:Kyatlhsv1 Bill would give Calif. among highest minimum wages], Valet said. We clarified why we were broadcasting the Jaguars game and apologized to viewers who may have been confused by the constant Manning Bowl promotion. | ||
| + | Still, the message that was placed on the screen didn t make clear whether folks were upset because they possibly wouldn t see the Jaguars game, or because they were being led to believe they possibly wouldn t have to see the Jaguars game. | ||
| + | In accordance with NFL policy, WKMG must carry all Jacksonville Jaguars away games.? We apologize for any inconvenience, the in-game screen message stated. | ||
| + | That doesn t sound like an effort to make folks who feared they d have to watch Broncos-Giants realize that they d get to watch the Jaguars.? Instead, that sounds like an effort to make folks who wanted to watch Broncos-Giants understand why they couldn t. | ||
| + | Making it sound even more like an effort to explain why Broncos-Giants wouldn t be shown is the quote given at the time to the Associated Press (that lazy blog) by Valet himself:? I know it s frustrating,[http://pobrevirtual.com.br/wikipobre/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Xvmibdtig3#Persian_cat_might_be_sent_on_next_Iran_rocket_test Persian cat might be sent on next Iran rocket test], but as a CBS station . | ||
| + | By using the words we apologize for any inconvenience, WKMG necessarily was apologizing for something. Instead of apologizing for making the Jaguars look like a lesser option,[http://heike-wiesner.de/mediawiki/index.php/Benutzer:Fspoxdapm3#Can_we_stop_with_Tim_Tebow_now- Can we stop with Tim Tebow now-], WKMG has opted for a strident and dismissive denial of reality. | ||
| + | Which rarely works out well for the person doing the strident dismissing.</html> | ||

| + | == WASHINGTON- Krauthammer- The real Navy Yard scandal- Our unc == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>WASHINGTON In the liberal remake of Casablanca,[http://bbs.dghjlq.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=555 ], the police captain comes upon the scene of the shooting and orders his men to round up the usual weapons. It s always the weapon and never the shooter. Twelve people are murdered in a rampage at the Washington Navy Yard, and before sundown Sen. Dianne Feinstein has called for yet another debate on gun violence. Major opprobrium is heaped on the AR-15, the semiautomatic used in the Newtown massacre. Turns out no AR-15 was used at the Navy Yard. And the shotgun that was used was obtained legally in Virginia after the buyer, Aaron Alexis, passed both a state and federal background check. As was the case in the Tucson shooting instantly politicized into a gun-control and (fabricated) tea-party-climate-of-violence issue the origin of this crime lies not in any politically expedient externality but in the nature of the shooter. On Aug. 7, that same Alexis had called police from a Rhode Island Marriott. He was hearing voices. Three people were following him, he told the cops. They were sending microwaves through walls, making his skin vibrate and preventing him from sleeping. He had already twice changed hotels to escape the men, the radiation,[http://bbs.dghjlq.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=555 ], the voices. Delusions, paranoid ideation, auditory (and somatic) hallucinations: the classic symptoms of schizophrenia. So here is this panic-stricken soul, psychotic and in terrible distress. And what does modern policing do for him? The cops tell him to stay away from the individuals that are following him. Then they leave. But the three individuals were imaginary, for God s sake. This is how a civilized society deals with a man in such a state of terror? Had this happened 35 years ago in Boston, Alexis would have been brought to me as the psychiatrist on duty at the ER of the Massachusetts General Hospital. Were he as agitated and distressed as in the police report, I probably would have administered an immediate dose of Haldol, the most powerful fast-acting antipsychotic of the time. This would generally relieve the hallucinations and delusions, a blessing not only in itself,[http://blackwaterwatch.net/content/blackwater-tied-cia-raids#comment-23667 Kim Clijsters Welcomes Baby Boy], but also for the lucidity it brought on that would allow him to give us important diagnostic details psychiatric history, family history, social history, medical history. If I thought he could be sufficiently cared for by family or friends to receive regular oral medication, therapy and follow-up,[http://bbs.dghjlq.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=555 ], I would have discharged him. Otherwise, I d have admitted him. And if he refused, I d have ordered a 14-day involuntary commitment. Sounds cruel? On the contrary. For many people living on park benches,[http://bbs.dghjlq.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=555 ], commitment means a warm bed, shelter and three hot meals a day. For Alexis, it would have meant the beginning of a treatment regimen designed to bring him back to himself before discharging him to a world heretofore madly radioactive. That s what a compassionate society does. It would no more abandon this man to fend for himself than it would a man suffering a stroke. And as a side effect, that compassion might even extend to potential victims of his psychosis in the event, remote but real, that he might someday burst into some place of work and kill 12 innocent people. Instead, what happened? The Newport police sent their report to the local naval station, where it promptly disappeared into the ether. Alexis subsequently twice visited VA hospital ERs, but without any florid symptoms of psychosis and complaining only of sleeplessness, the diagnosis was missed. (He was given a sleep medication.) He fell back through the cracks. True, psychiatric care is underfunded and often scarce. But Alexis had full access to the VA system. The problem here was not fiscal but political and, yes, even moral. I know the civil libertarian arguments. I know that involuntary commitment is outright paternalism. But paternalism is essential for children because they don t have a fully developed rational will. Do you think Alexis was in command of his will that night in Newport? We cannot, of course, be cavalier about commitment. We should have layers of review, albeit rapid. But it s both cruel and reckless to turn loose people as lost and profoundly suffering as Alexis, even apart from any potential dangerousness. More than half of those you see sleeping on grates have suffered mental illness. It s a national scandal. It s time we recalibrated the pendulum that today allows the mentally ill to die with their rights on and, rarely but unforgivably, take a dozen innocents with them.

| + | |||
| + | <html>PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) ?On Saturday against New Mexico, Pitt freshman running back James Conner ran in a touchdown and then pointed to the sky. He wasn t doing a celebration dance; instead, he was dedicating the touchdown to his best friend, Alyssa Josephine O Neill. | ||
| + | On Sept. 4, 2013,[http://www.roadroyalty.com/forum/showthread.php?350301-For-architect-Frank-Gehry-Disney-Hall-is-my-home&p=384221#post384221 For architect Frank Gehry, Disney Hall is 'my home'], Alyssa died suddenly and tragically from an epileptic seizure. She was a McDowell High School graduate, competitive cheerleader,[http://www.topnews.in/usa/deep-impact-comet-research-mission-ends-nasa-224949?nocache=1 Party like a Pirate at Monty's South Beach Thursday, Sept 19], and?freshman at Penn State Behrend studying to be a pediatric nurse. Her dream was to be a nurse at Children s Hospital. | ||
| + | However, Alyssa s story doesn t end there. Since her death, a movement of people paying it back has gone worldwide. #AJO and the color purple (Alyssa s favorite color) have become a rallying cry on social media to spread awareness of epilepsy, and people are doing all kinds of acts of kindness in Alyssa s name. | ||
| + | KDKA-AM s Larry and John talked to James Conner as well as Jason and Sarah O Neill, Alyssa s parents, about the outpouring of love and support they ve seen since their daughter s death. | ||
| + | It meant so much to our family to know that she was loved so much by us, but by the community and her fellow students, says Sarah O Neill. | ||
| + | One of those outpourings of love happened last Friday night, McDowell High School students?decided to wear the color purple at their football game to honor Alyssa. On the way to Alyssa s viewing, her mom and dad heard about this and went to the game. When the?O Neill family walked in to the stadium minutes before opening kickoff,?the stadium fell silent. The students, all wearing purple,?gave them a 15 minute standing ovation and presented the family with a flag they made that simply read AJO in purple, | ||
| + | The night was so moving that the AJO theme has now gone viral, and while the family is happy it is raising awareness for the Epilepsy Foundation, they just want AJO to represent a kind act. On social media, people are taking pictures of the initials AJO and posting them to Instagram,[http://lvps87-230-95-123.dedicated.hosteurope.de/drupal/node/101660 Jason Heyward Injury- Updates on Braves Star's], Twitter or Facebook, and the AJO photos are now showing up around the world. Simply use the hashtag #AJO to join in. | ||
| + | What happened to Alyssa was a horrible,[http://gonplay.me/ House votes to defund Obamacare as shutdown battle escalates], tragic accident, says Sarah O Neill.? I don t mean to bring awareness to frighten people, but just to let people know that it can happen. | ||
| + | As for James Conner, he was notified of Alyssa s passing before practice on ?Sept. 4. ?With permission, James was picked up in the middle of the night and returned home for his friends funeral and carried her casket to her final place of burial. During Saturday s game, he wore purple along with AJO. | ||

| + | |||
| + | <html>What technological innovation would you most like to see for the office? | ||
| + | LEE NEWMAN: We don t go to the gym one day and expect to be physically fit the next. So why do companies persist in their belief that the one-day soft-skills?workshop will magically turn employees into behaviorally fit workers once back in the office,[http://www.ufetech.com/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=73273 ]?<br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | In fact, it is?actually easier to?tone our abs, decrease our 10k finish time, and improve our golf swing than it is to improve the?critical at-work behaviors that matter most to our performance on the job. Furthermore, trainees in the world of physical fitness have a powerful array of technologies like heart-rate sensors and shoes with microchips at their disposal,[http://oraculo.inf.br/wiki/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Hhjmmoais8#The_GOP.27s_suicide_squeeze The GOP's suicide squeeze], but company employees seeking to develop their behavioral fitness in the workplace are left alone with checklists and self-improvement books. | ||
| + | Fortunately, this situation is improving and I think a step-change in professional development is near. In my view, there is great promise in combining the science of habits and motivation with gamification and with new technologies. Personal sensors, self-tracking tools,[http://www.hi0471.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=1789666&extra= EXCLUSIVE- Inside lab that tested Syria chemical weapon evidence – Amanpou], location-sensitive mobile applications and other mobile technologies are able provide individuals with simple but powerful new ways to measure and monitor?themselves?while working. Take employees who are highly motivated to develop better interpersonal skills, offer them the one-day workshop,?and then?provide these behavioral fitness technologies and you have a stronger formula for helping professionals achieve deep and lasting behavioral change. | ||
| + | What is essential is that we change the way we think about professional development in our companies. If we can start to think about behavioral fitness in the workplace in the same way that we think about physical fitness in the gym, enabling motivated employees to practice new behaviors in a safe,[http://www.ufetech.com/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=73273 ], supportive and technology-enabled environment��we will see increased productivity,[http://d71.delfinweb.de/blogs/entry/Speed-fans-are-angry-about-Fox-Sports-2 Speed fans are angry about Fox Sports 2], higher levels of engagement, and perhaps even a stronger implicit contract between employee and employer. | ||
