Paul Brandley covers the Washington Wizards, who moved to 5-2 with a solid win over the injury-riddled Indiana Pacers. Most of the Wizards shot over 50% and had a great defensive presence.

NOVEMBER 10, 2014
Wizards Move to 5-2 with Win
Over Pacers
By Paul Brandley

For the second time in four days, the Washington
Wizards have downed the Indiana Pacers. By a
score of 97-90, the Wizards edged the Pacers to
pickup the back end of a back-to-back, after they
lost for the first time in 5 games to the Toronto
Raptors, 103-84.

The Wizards survived a dismal offensive night from
veteran Paul Pierce, who shot 2-13, including 0-5 from
behind the three point line. Luckily, seven of the Wizards’
other nine players who played last night made up for his
struggles by shooting 50% or higher.

Notably, John Wall had
eighteen points and four
assists, Kevin Seraphim
had thirteen points off a
6-8 shooting night, and
Nene had a seventeen
point, five assist night.

On defense, the Wizards
showcased how their youth
and athleticism allows them to
outplay other teams’ more
traditional offenses. The
Wizards combined for four
blocked shots and eight steals.
Four of those steals came from
speedy John Wall.

It seems that the Pacers are still struggling to find
their way after a disappointing end to their season
and a number of cornerstone players from last
year’s not being in their current lineup. During the
offseason, the Pacers lost breakout shooting guard
Lance Stephenson to free agency (signed with the
Charlotte Hornets), Paul George to injury (broken
leg), George Hill (knee contusion), and David West
(sprained ankle).

That’s four of five players from a starting lineup that
was supposed to be the East’s answer to Lebron’s
Miami Heat.

To add insult to injury (pun fully intended), after just
eleven minutes into Saturday’s game, center Roy Hibbert
knocked knees with teammate Solomon Hill and did not
return to the game. Luckily for the Pacers, Hibbert’s
status for Monday’s game has since been upgraded to
‘probable’, so it looks like he’s avoided a long-term injury.
Solomon Hill did his best to make up for taking Hibbert
out of the game, racking up twenty-eight points, six
rebounds and three steals in 43 minutes of work while
shooting over 50% from the field.

The Wizards exploded out of the gates, going into the
second half with a 54-35 advantage, but went cold and
let the Pacers back into the game late. I had mentioned
turnovers as being a major concern for this young team
and tonight showed us why, with John Wall and Nene
combining for nine. If they can keep their turnovers down
and keep winning the rebound battle (they beat the
Pacers 49-38), this will be a very dangerous team come
playoff time.

The Philadelphia Flyers won their fifth straight game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, but suffered potential injuries to key players Claude Giroux and Ilya Bryzgalov. The Flyers are already playing without captain Chris Pronger, who is expected to be out longer than initially thought due to concussion-like symptoms. Giroux left Saturday's game after taking a knee to the head, and will be re-examined on Sunday. Bryzgalov also left the game with a lower body injury. The Flyers cannot afford any more injuries to important players as they try to continue their winning streak.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow

��

Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits. To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups. Technology For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did. While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis. Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad. Age and Gender When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same. Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers. Race Affects Attitudes As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.

Skeleton Culture CodeSkeleton Technologies

Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray

1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework. 2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections. 3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Paul Brandley | Washington Wizards 5-2 With Win over Pacers

1. NOVEMBER 10, 2014 Wizards Move to 5-2 with Win Over Pacers By Paul Brandley

2. For the second time in four days, the Washington Wizards have downed the Indiana Pacers. By a score of 97-90, the Wizards edged the Pacers to pickup the back end of a back-to-back, after they lost for the first time in 5 games to the Toronto Raptors, 103-84.

5. On defense, the Wizards showcased how their youth and athleticism allows them to outplay other teams’ more traditional offenses. The Wizards combined for four blocked shots and eight steals. Four of those steals came from speedy John Wall.
