Personalizing the listening experience (slides)
Bandit algorithms have gained increased attention in recommender systems, as they provide effective and scalable recommendations. These algorithms use reward functions, usually based on a numeric variable such as click-through rates, as the basis for optimization. Detecting and understanding implicit measures of user satisfaction are essential for enhancing recommendation quality. When users interact with a recommendation system, they leave behind fine grained traces of interaction signals, which contain valuable information that could help gauging user satisfaction. Quantifying such a notion of satisfaction from implicit signals involves understanding the diverse needs of users and their expectations of what is a successful streaming session. Such needs often include how users feel, and the expectations that music recommended to them align with their mood or their intent of the moment. To fulfill these, Spotify provide users with curated playlists, ranging from ''sleep" to ''run". In addition, and to account for the diverse user interests and plethora of musics, genre playlists have been made available to users, ranging from rap, pop, jazz, to niche ones. As a result, millions of playlists are available to users to listen to based on their intent and needs. Given such a heterogeneity in user needs, and the different intents of content (playlists), it becomes important to consider both user and content behavior to formalize the notion of satisfaction, and in turn design the appropriate reward models to capture these. This talk will describe methods explored to provide a more informed reward function, that account for the type of user and the type of content.

Optimizing for longer-term outcomes (slides, paper)
Many personalization algorithms today are optimizing for short-term rewards like clicks or plays, but what we ultimately want to optimize is often a longer-term outcome, like long-term user satisfaction. In this talk we will talk about some attempts to align personalization algorithms to longer term rewards. We will also show an old and computationally efficient method to estimate a long term reward in a discrete decision setting. We will show that this method leads to richer rankings than possible when considering only a single decision point, as well as demonstrate its effectiveness on two different datasets.
David Hubbard has been a Senior Research Scientist at Netflix since 2010 in the Data Science and Engineering group. He has worked on a range of problems from estimating the popularity of shows Netflix may want to acquire, to predicting who will watch those new shows, to estimating the tenure of our subscribers. David got his Masters in Applied Math from UCLA and his main areas of interest are large scale machine learning and interpretability.

Horizon: Deep Reinforcement Learning at Scale (slides)
To build a recommender system, we must provide answers to two sets of questions: (1) "What will happen if I recommend item X?" and (2) "How should I pick which item to recommend?". Typically, the first set of questions are answered with supervised learning: we build models to forecast whether someone will click on an ad, or visit a post. The second set of questions are more open-ended. In this talk we will dive into how we can answer "how" questions, starting with heuristics and search. This will lead us to bandits, reinforcement learning, and Horizon: an open-source platform for training and deploying reinforcement learning models at massive scale. At Facebook, we are using Horizon in a variety of control tasks, spanning recommender systems, marketing & promotion distribution, and bandwidth optimization. The talk will cover the key components of Horizon and the lessons we learned along the way that influenced the development of the platform.

NLP for detecting political narratives: Applying big data insights to small domains (slides)
Marvelous.ai is developing natural language tools to analyze political discourse in news and social media. We are particularly interested in how messaging spreads, both negatively (propaganda) and positively (pro-democracy campaigns). In this talk, I will describe our approach to detecting political narratives focusing on 2018 and 2020 US elections. Narrative detection and political discourse are rich textual domains, but they lack labelled datasets of any appreciable size. Instead, we've used insights learned from large datasets and relied on human-in-the-loop active learning techniques, allowing us to quickly create domain-specific models with high precision. I will also speak about our efforts to make NLP tools and datasets accessible to the general, non-technically inclined public.
Olya Gurevich holds a PhD in Linguistics from UC Berkeley. She has been a computational linguist, data scientist, and engineering manager at Powerset, Microsoft Bing, Topsy, and Apple's Siri. In 2018, she joined forces with Christopher Walker and Danielle Deibler to found Marvelous.ai.
Susan Athey, Stanford
Estimating Personalized Preferences from Consumer Shopping Data
In a series of papers, we develop models for consumer preferences based on their choices from a set of alternatives. Our model combines standard modeling approaches from economics and marketing with recent developments in machine learning, in particular matrix factorization techniques. We evaluate performance of the models for counterfactuals using held-out data where items are out of stock or where prices change. We show that when personalized prices are based on model estimates, firm profits can increase substantially.
Susan Athey is the Economics of Technology Professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business. She previously taught at the Economics departments at MIT, Stanford and Harvard. Her current research focuses on the economics of digitization, marketplace design, and the intersection of econometrics and machine learning. She has worked on several application areas, including timber auctions, internet search, online advertising, the news media, and the application of digital technology to social impact applications. As one of the first "tech economists", she served as consulting chief economist for Microsoft Corporation for six years, and now serves on the boards of Expedia, Lending Club, Rover, Turo, and Ripple, as well as non-profit Innovations for Poverty Action.

Machine Learning-Powered Search Ranking of Airbnb Experiences
Airbnb Experiences are handcrafted activities designed and led by expert hosts that offer a unique taste of local scene and culture. Since the launch of Airbnb Experiences in November 2016 we managed to bring Experiences to more than 1,000 destinations worldwide, including unique places like Easter Island, Tasmania, and Iceland. As the marketplace grew, Search & Personalization became very important factors for the continued rapid growth and success of the marketplace. In this talk, I will describe the steps we took to develop a Machine Learning powered Search Ranking framework at different growth stages of the marketplace, from small to mid-size and large. Over the course of one and a half years, we ran more than 15 experiments iterating on the algorithm and were able to collectively improve bookings by more than 20%. In addition to driving overall bookings we focused on secondary objectives as well, such as high-quality experiences and new promising experiences. I will present details about the features we built out over time, such as user personalization, real-time model scoring, personalized navigation, ranking dashboards for explaining the predictions and optimization of secondary objectives.

Reinforcement Learning for Recommender Systems: A Case Study on Youtube
While reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved impressive advances in games and robotics, it has not been widely adopted in recommender systems. Framing recommendation as an RL problem offers new perspectives, but also faces significant challenges in practice. Industrial recommender systems deal with extremely large action spaces – many billions of items to recommend and complex and dynamic user states -- billions of users, who are unique at any point in time. Furthermore, establishing causal connection between past recommendation and long-term user behavior is challenging because of high variance/noise in user feedback. The talk will discuss our work on scaling up policy-based reinforcement learning algorithms, e.g., REINFORCE to a production recommender system at Youtube. We proposed algorithms to address data biases when deriving policy updates from logged implicit feedback. I will also discuss some follow up work on exploration and outstanding research questions in applying RL in recommender systems.
Minmin Chen is a Research Scientist at Google Brain. Her work uniquely focuses on sequence modeling and reinforcement learning in recommender systems to optimize long term user experience. She did her PhD study at Washington University in St. Louis on representation learning and domain adaptation and B.S. at Tsinghua University. She has over 30 publications at top ML and recommender system conferences.
Jure Leskovec, Pinterest
Graph Neural Networks for Recommender Systems (slides)
Deep neural networks for graph-structured data have led to state-of-the-art performance on recommender system benchmarks. However, making these methods practical and scalable to web-scale recommendation tasks with billions of items and hundreds of millions of users remains a challenge. In this talk we describe a large-scale deep recommendation engine that we developed and deployed at Pinterest. We develop a data efficient Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) algorithm PinSage, which combines efficient random walks and graph convolutions to generate embeddings of nodes (i.e., items) that incorporate both graph structure as well as node feature information. Compared to prior GCN approaches, we develop a novel method based on highly efficient random walks to structure the convolutions and design a novel training strategy that relies on harder-and-harder training examples to improve robustness and convergence of the model. We deploy PinSage at Pinterest and train it on 7.5 billion examples on a graph with 3 billion nodes representing pins and boards, and 18 billion edges. According to offline metrics, user studies and A/B tests, PinSage generates higher-quality recommendations than comparable deep learning and graph-based alternatives. To our knowledge, this is the largest application of deep graph embeddings to date and paves the way for a new generation of web-scale recommender systems based on graph convolutional architectures.
Jure Leskovec is Associate Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, Chief Scientist at Pinterest, and investigator at Chan Zuckerberg Biohub.

How is this show similar to that? (slides)
Distance metric learning or similarity learning is an active research topic that is applicable to many contexts. In similarity learning, examples are typically projected into a feature vector space, in which the distance in the projected space preserves the semantic similarity in the input space. In this talk, we will survey recent methods in deep metric learning, and how they relate to Netflix's recommendation algorithms. We will present case studies of similarity learning and illustrate tentative approaches.

I've known a lot women who want to look slimmer in their clothing. Many of us have at least one part of our bodies that we want to appear slimmer. Some use body shapers to get a more svelte look. I personally hate those things and prefer the path of illusion to look more trim in my outfits. Here are a few tricks I've discovered along the way to make your figure look slimmer in clothing.
Wear skirts, pants, and shorts that sit at your natural waist and tuck your tops into them to allow the waistband to visually slim your waistline.
Wear high-waist bottoms to draw attention to the waist and visually cinch the area. This also helps hide a tummy pooch.
Peplums cinch the waist making it appear smaller with an inward curve.
Prints may be trendy but solid colors are more slimming. You can wear darks as well as neutrals, pastels, and brights. Just make sure to wear your darkest color in the area you want to slim down. For me, I wear darker colored pants/skirts and save my brighter colors for tops/ blouses.
Knits tend to follow the figure closely which is instantly slimming. Knit dresses, especially in slinky fabrics like jersey, cling to the body and follow your curves. Style details like ruching at the sides help thin the figure even more. I do have to say this about knits. Buy knit garments that fit your measurements. If you buy a knit garment that fits tight or snug it will visually add pounds to your figure. When you wear knits that fit your true size/measurements the knit will follow and cling to the right places.
Straight-legged pants slim down your bottom half and hide flaws. Unless you have thin and toned legs, leggings and skinny jeans are not the best choices. The reason is they will show ripples and bulges that will make you look heavier. Straight-legged pants skim the hip and leg following the shape closely enough to not add bulk but not too close to highlight bulges. Even straight-legged pants with a slight flare can make legs look slimmer.
These slimming style tips will allow you to look your best. Just because you want to slim down does not mean you want to lose your shapely curves. So if the look you chose slims your curves down too much remember to accentuate the waist to even things out.

Altara Games today has released figures on its loans against video games tax relief to date. In just under 6 months, the company has provided loans to the value of over £1.5m.
These loans have varied in size from £70k to over £500k, and have been provided a broad range of studios and games across the UK.
Altara Games provides loans from any point during development, even before development has begun as long as the company has their 'interim certificate' confirming that their game is eligible for relief. Loans are provided within weeks, and are only repaid once the tax relief is received.
To find out more, visit www.altaragames.com or email info@altaragames.com.
At Altara, we believe in games. Run by industry experts, we can help your studio finance the development of new products and services by providing loans against UK Video Games Tax Relief. The company is run by games industry developer and consultant Ella Romanos, with Harbottle & Lewis acting as legal advisors.
Ella is a director of several games start-ups and provides consultancy for the games industry specialising in finance, growth strategy and production including heading up Altara Games and Tenshi Grants.
New company Altara Games today announces that they will provide loans for UK studios against games tax relief. Film companies have been able to access loans against Film Tax Relief for some time, and Altara Games aims to provide the same support to games companies.
The company will be run by games industry developer and consultant Ella Romanos, with Harbottle & Lewis acting as legal advisors.
Currently developers can apply for a games tax relief 'interim certificate' in advance of the development of their game, which validates that their game will meet the criteria for the relief and how much they can claim, however they cannot claim the money until much later. Altara Games will provide loans for companies who have this interim certificate, and the loan will only be repaid once the tax relief money is received.

The Australian Sevens team has a familiar look for the upcoming third round of the Women's World Series in Las Vegas next week - with just one notable change.
Exciting try scorer Emma Tonegato returns to the fold having recovered from an elbow injury which kept her out of the home tournament earlier this month.
Coach Tim Walsh is excited by the prospect of participating in yet another dual World Series tournament and having the opportunity to stake their claim at the top.
"Las Vegas is a new venue for the Women's Series and another step towards a joint Men's and Women's series," said Walsh.
Walsh has kept the squad from Sydney despite the Aussies, by their own standards, having put in a below par performance on Day Two, to finish in fourth place.
Australia will be even more determined to take the Vegas title off the back of that disappointment given it won the USA leg of the World Series last year in Atlanta with Emma Tonegato named Player of the Tournament.
Tonegato believes the outcome in Sydney was just a speed bump and the team is now refocused on the key objective for this season.
"We want to go back-to-back in the World Series - get a podium finish to show we aren't one trick ponies," she said.
While Tiana Penitani has been dropped to make way for Tonegato, the retention of new talent in the form of Emma Sykes and Georgina Friedrichs, with just five caps between them, shows Walsh's continued investment in the development of future depth.
At the other end of the scale is the experience of Emilee Cherry who chalked up 20 caps in Sydney.
Joining Cherry in the twenties when they run out in Las Vegas, will be the team's co-captains Sharni Williams and Shannon Parry.
In what is a rare occurrence, Australia finds itself in a pool with arch nemesis New Zealand – the two teams having finished below expectation in Sydney and therefore having been ranked accordingly in the Pool draw for Las Vegas.
Adding interest to Pool C is the inclusion of England, normally a strong performer but having had a horror run over the two days of the Sydney tournament ultimately finishing near the bottom of the table.
Despite the recent results, the Aussies still view the Kiwis as their key threat to success across the season. While New Zealand will also be out to prove that a second round bronze medal finish, off the back of a title win to start the series, is not good enough.
What Sydney 7s did prove however, is that the strength of the Women's competition is intensifying and the list of contenders for top positions is growing.


Since I was very young and first found out about Comic Con I'd always been dying to go to one. It seemed my dreams came true when we just happened to take off the correct week to go to Portland Oregon during their CC! I was amazed at my luck.
We went to RCCC on a Sunday, so it was two days after it started. The place was still packed even two hours after opening! To my surprise there wasn't much gone from any tables. The reason being? Prices were sky high!
1. Everyone was over priced. I felt really ripped off by anything I ended up buying. I only spent probably $200 there.
2. Lots of bootlegs!! You'd think at a convention bootlegs wouldn't be allowed, but almost everything I saw was a bootleg. Anything authentic was higher priced than you could get it for online or even somewhere like Hastings that is always over priced.
So in the end- It was a fun experience, but it was way too pricey for what the vendors were offering. I'm sure other CC's like NYCC or SDCC would be okay because they actually have official companies as vendors, but I would highly advise against attending small 'Cons. Being charged an arm and a leg really took a lot of the fun out of it.
If there's one thing I've wanted to do in my life (besides collect, and house millions of adorable animals) it would be to go on many great adventures! Whether it's just visiting another town close by, or visiting another country... someday I hope to see the world.
I live in the state of Montana- as many of you probably know it's a state that is either considered very "country/old west" or very outdoorsy. There are so many places to visit and see just around the state and in the immediate area, I hope to show off at least a little for those of you who can't travel!

Q: Bootstrap Datepicker date difference and reservation calculation I am building a simple reservation system which takes:
1. The difference of Days in Bootstrap Datepicker (failed)
2. The number of rooms from a combo box (succeeded)
3. The room price ($200)
Finally, all the 3 values are multiplied and displayed in an Input "grandtotal".
I have tried several methods but since I am new to javascript, I am having some troubles.  Can you all help me and guide me through this process?
The "grandtotal" must be calculated automatically once the user selects the dates and number of rooms.  The script coding for the calculation of days also is working incorrectly.
I will need further help so maybe, I can contact you.  Thanks again.
1.User selects the Check-in and Check-out date using Bootstrap Datepicker after which he/she selects of the number of rooms.  As the user selects, the input "grandtotal" must be updated automatically.
<form method="post" action="reservation.php">
  <input id="from" name="checkin" type="text" id="from"/>
  <input id="to" name="checkout" type="text" id="to"/>
  <select onchange="ChooseContact(this)" name="numrooms" id="rooms">
    <option value="1">1 room</option>
    <option value="2">2 rooms</option>
   </select>
  <select class="hidden" name="price">
          <option selected="selected">200</option>
  </select>
</form>

// this displays the respective values for selecting the dates, the number of rooms and finally, the "grandtotal" is shown automatically.
<input readonly id="totaldays" placeholder="1">
<input readonly id="totalrooms" placeholder="1">
<input readonly id="grandtotal" placeholder="-">

// bootstrap datepicker configuration

// bootstrap datepicker days calculation and total rooms assigned to input

That`s all, I do not know how to assigned each input (totaldays, totalrooms, grandtotal) when the user clicks on each value and how to do the grandtotal calculation.

A: Hey Sorry for Late ans but here is something i tried with your code with few changes (initialize with default values,few functions) and it worked fine for me..yes you can go ahead and improve it further.....hope it helps :D

$().ready(function() {
var dates = $( "#from, #to" ).datepicker({
showOtherMonths: false,
selectOtherMonths: false,
});

  var dt=new Date();
  var today= "";
  today=dt.getDate()+"/";
  today+=dt.getMonth()+1+"/";
  today+=dt.getFullYear()+"";

  var tom="";
  tom=dt.getDate()+"/";
  tom+=(dt.getMonth()+2)+"/";
  tom+=dt.getFullYear()+"";
  $("#from").val(today);
 $("#to").val(tom);
  getDatediff();
  Bill();
});
$('#from,#to').change(function(){
  getDatediff();
});

function getDatediff()
{
    var startDate = new Date($('#from').val());
    var endDate = new Date($('#to').val());
    var diff = endDate - startDate;
    var res=(Number(diff) / 86400000);
      if(res>0)
        {
    $('#totaldays').val(res);
        }
      else
    {
       $('#totaldays').val(0);
    }
    Bill();
}
$("#from ,#to").change(function(){
  getDatediff();
});

function Bill()
{
 var rooms= $("#totalrooms").val();
 var days=$('#totaldays').val();
 var amt=$('#price option:selected').text();
 var sum=rooms*days*amt;
  $("#grandtotal").val(sum);
}

$('#rooms').change(function(){
  $('#totalrooms').val($(this).find('option:selected').val())
  getDatediff();
});

<form method="post" action="reservation.php">
From:<input id="from" name="checkin" type="text" id="from" value=""/>

To:<input id="to" name="checkout" type="text" id="to"/>

Select Rooms:<select  name="numrooms" id="rooms">
    <option value="1" selected>1 room</option>
    <option value="2">2 rooms</option>
   </select>

Select Price:<select class="hidden" name="price" id="price">
          <option selected="selected">200</option>
  </select>

Your Details

Days:<input readonly id="totaldays" placeholder="1" value="1">

Rooms:<input readonly id="totalrooms" placeholder="1" value="1">

GrandTotal:<input readonly id="grandtotal" placeholder="0.0">
  </form>

A: Here is a working solution.
Your negative amount of days is fixed.
If there is an impossible range of dates, an error is shown in red.
The total price is calculated.
Feel free to ask about anything in this code if there is something you don't get.
;)

var roomPrice = 200;

// bootstrap datepicker configuration
$(document).ready(function(){
    $( "#from, #to" ).datepicker({
        defaultDate: "+0w",
        changeMonth: false,

        minDate: '01-10-2016',
        maxDate: '31-10-2016'
    });
});

function ChooseContact(data) {
    var totalrooms = data.value;
    document.getElementById ("totalrooms").value = (Number(totalrooms));
}

function calculateDuration() {
    var diff = 0;
    if(startDate !="" && endDate !=""){
        var startDate = new Date($('#from').val());
        var endDate = new Date($('#to').val());
        diff = endDate - startDate;
    }

    if(diff==0){
        $("#totaldays").val( "1" );
        $("#grandtotal").val("").css("color","black");
    }
    if(diff>1){

The network is made up of three XP clients each attempting to access an application based on a 2003 server via a mapped network drive. Each client uses the same user name and password for local access as well as to get access to the server, that is, all three clients use the same user name and password.
This has been working almost faultlessly until just last week. Nothing has changed on the network other than Windows Updates, AVG updates, etc.
When I try to connect using My Computer, the client just sits there with an hourglass pointer. No error messages, no timeouts, nothing. The only thing I can do is click on the Close button of the My Computer window and 'End Now'. Strangely, I can see all the files in this folder when I select 'Open' in Word and browse files that way. This also occurs with any other mapped drive. Again, I can access these files through e.g. Word or Excel.
I have tried remapping each of the clients and I have also recreated the shares on the server. Still nothing. The application works perfectly when run directly on the server.
I tried System Restore on a client the first time this happened, as it seemed to be particular to one machine, but this doesn't make any difference.
I get the feeling I'm just around the corner from a solution, but I've run out of ideas. Can anybody help me with this?
It's always the easy things that get overlooked.

Vitamin B12 is commonly used to treat deficiency caused by medical conditions and supplement those at risk including those who have vegans/vegetarian diets, are pregnant/lactating, or are older adults. However, Vitamin B12 in general helps maintain good health and has been shown to be beneficial in helpng to also: reduce stress, increase energy, improve memory, mood and cardiovascular health, and to promote weight loss. It can also assist the body in converting proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into energy and can facilitate the developement of healthy skin and eyes. Although there are alternative options of B12 supplemantation, such as oral pills, Vitamin B12 injections are the most effective delivery approach as they are best absorbed by th body since they bypass digestion by the stomach and intestines.
Frequency of injections will vary. Although they can be given safely as frequently as once a week, we recommend once every 2 to 4 weeks. Benefits will vary based on ones' lifestyle therefore the best guage for frequency will be how you feel.

Three decades ago, over 80 percent of homebuyers were married. In 2016, only 66 percent were married. While married couples continue to make up the largest share of homebuyers, the share of single women buying homes has risen significantly since the mid-'80s. According to one national survey, in 2016 single women represented 17 percent of total home purchases, compared to 8 percent for unmarried couples and 7 percent for single men. No matter your relationship status, we can help make buying a home and shopping for a mortgage less complicated.
Whether you're looking to buy a home by yourself or with someone else, it pays to do your homework, know what you're getting into, and shop around for a mortgage.
If you're single and want to buy a home, you're not alone. The CFPB's nationally representative survey of mortgage borrowers found that in 2013, 23 percent of homebuyers were single. When you are shopping for a mortgage, it's important to know that lenders cannot discriminate against you based on your marital status. If you have enough money for a down payment, enough income to support the monthly payments, and if you meet the other eligibility criteria (credit history, the amount of debt you have compared to your income, etc.), then you can qualify for a mortgage as a single person.
If you're recently divorced, you may need to do some work first to make sure that your finances are fully separated from your former spouse. For example, if you previously owned a home with a former spouse, make sure that the old mortgage has been paid off. If the home was sold, make sure that the mortgage was paid off at closing. If your former spouse kept the home, make sure that the mortgage has been refinanced to remove your name. If your credit report shows that you are still legally responsible for the old mortgage, it may be difficult to qualify for a new mortgage in your own name. Checking your credit report is a good way to see whether old joint accounts are still active.
If you apply for a mortgage jointly with someone else, whether you are married or not, lenders evaluate your mortgage application as co-borrowers. Collectively, you'll need to have enough income to make the payments and demonstrate that you'll be able to make payments in the future. If one person doesn't have an income or doesn't have much income, that's okay as long as the other person has enough.
Lenders typically use the credit scores of the person with the lowest credit scores to evaluate the mortgage application. If one person has a low credit score, you can apply for the mortgage without that person, but then the lender typically won't consider that person's income.
When you buy a home together, you and your co-borrower are jointly responsible for paying the mortgage. Each of you is on the hook to pay the whole amount, even if you have a different agreement between yourselves. If you agree to split the payment 50/50, but one person is short on money one month, the other person will have to cover the difference. If they don't, the payment will be recorded as incomplete, and the credit of both borrowers may suffer.
Are your credit scores about the same or significantly different? Check your credit reports and scores together.
Who will contribute how much to the down payment? Will you split it 50/50 or some other arrangement?
How will you share the monthly mortgage payment? Will you split it 50/50, or some other arrangement?
How will you manage the logistics of pooling income to make the monthly payment? Will you have a joint checking account, or some other arrangement?
Who will be responsible for making sure the payment is made on time each month?
How will you manage payments for taxes and insurance if those expenses are not included in an escrow account?
How will you manage the expenses of home maintenance? Will you have a joint savings account, or some other arrangement?
It's important to write down your answers to these questions, so everyone remembers the agreement the same way. If you are buying a home with someone other than your spouse, it's a good idea to get a lawyer to help you draw up a simple contract that clearly spells out each person's responsibility and what happens if someone fails to live up to their responsibility.
There's one big difference between buying and financing a home with a spouse versus someone you're not married to. If you're married and one day you split up, you and your spouse will have to figure out what to do about the home and the mortgage as part of the divorce, or a court will decide for you.
If you're not married, there's no divorce process. You'll still own a home together—and are still responsible for the mortgage together—until you do something to legally change that. Of course, it's hard to know now exactly how you would want to resolve things in the event that one of you wants to move out one day. A lot will depend on your personal and financial circumstances at the time. But it's important to think about and agree in advance how you will decide what to do if you were to part ways. Consider contacting a lawyer to help you write a contract that specifies what the options are and who has what responsibilities. The contract can also specify how you will resolve problems.
You put the home up for sale and everyone moves out. Until the home is sold and the mortgage is paid off, you and your co-borrower are still jointly responsible for making the mortgage payments on time each month. Once the home is sold, the proceeds will go first to pay off the mortgage; any remaining proceeds are divided and everyone goes their separate ways. If you are unable to sell the home for at least as much as the mortgage, you and your co-borrower may not be able to sell the home at all.
If one co-borrower wants to keep the home, the one who wants to leave can sign over their ownership share to the remaining borrower. This is particularly common as part of a divorce settlement or separation agreement. If there is equity in the home, the person who is staying may need to "buy out" the person leaving. In this situation, the person who wants to stay pays cash to the person who wants to leave in exchange for their share of the ownership.
The remaining borrower should refinance the mortgage in their name only. If they can't qualify for and afford the mortgage on their own, the best solution is usually to sell the home. If the amount still owed on the mortgage is close to or more than the value of the home, it may not be possible for the remaining borrower to refinance the loan.
If the remaining borrower doesn't refinance, both borrowers' credit could suffer if the mortgage payments are not made on time.
It may be difficult for the person who leaves to get a new mortgage while their credit reports show that they are still responsible for the old mortgage.
It's important to keep in mind that home prices don't always go up. If the value of the home goes down, the home may become "underwater," meaning that the home value is less than the amount owed on the mortgage. In this situation, it may be impossible either to sell the home or for one borrower to refinance. If one borrower moves out without a change in the loan, both borrowers are still legally responsible for the mortgage. If the person staying doesn't make the payments, the home could go into foreclosure, which would affect the credit history of both borrowers.
When you buy a home with someone else, the legal owners will be listed on the title, deed, or ownership documents. Depending on your state law, there are several different ways that property can be titled. The type of title defines the ownership rights in a home, for example, what happens when someone dies, or wants to sell or transfer their ownership share. The type of title can also define who can make decisions about the property, such as taking out a home equity loan.
Keep in mind that property, marriage, and inheritance laws differ widely from state to state. Your rights and responsibilities also change depending on how the property is owned and titled. Not all states offer all kinds of titles or define them in the same way. Depending on the state, some types of titles may have different implications based on whether you are married or not. Some states, known as "community property states," have special rules for married couples.
The following information about titles is provided to give you a very basic idea of the types of ownership. It is not intended as a substitute for legal advice. Laws vary from state to state. Consider consulting with a real estate lawyer for advice on your specific situation. It's important to make sure that you understand the benefits and drawbacks of the ownership and title options available in your state.
This type of title is the most common choice among married couples, but you do not have to be related to use joint tenancy with right of survivorship. The ownership of the property is equally divided among the co-owners. In the event of one owner's death, their share of ownership automatically passes to the other owner.
protections. Neither spouse can sell, transfer, or take out a mortgage on the property without the other spouse's consent. Tenancy by the entirety is not available in all states.
This type of title allows you to decide how much of the property is owned by each person. For example, it could be 50-50 or you could own 70 percent of the home while the other person owns 30 percent. Each owner can sell or transfer their ownership share. If one owner dies, their ownership share will be distributed according to their will or state inheritance laws.
Relationships can be complicated, and there are many ways to manage finances as a couple, regardless of whether you're married. Some couples choose to join their finances completely, others choose to keep them completely separate, and many more choose a hybrid. Just because you're together doesn't mean that you have to buy a home together if it doesn't make sense for you.
Some people may be in a relationship and ready to buy a home, but not ready to buy a home with their partner. Perhaps the partner is not financially ready to buy, or perhaps you have other reasons why buying a home together might not be a good idea. If you're in this situation, you can consider buying a home on your own while maintaining your relationship. You and your partner can decide who will live in the home and pay toward the mortgage—but if the home and the mortgage loan are in your name, they are your financial responsibility.
Married people can also get a mortgage and own property in one person's name only, if that makes sense for them. Of course, if you want to get a mortgage in your name only, you'll have to be able to qualify for the mortgage on your own, using only your income and credit history. Lenders are not allowed to discriminate against applicants because they are married but want to get a mortgage on their own. However, if you live in a "community property state," the property may be presumed to belong to both you and your spouse, even if the mortgage and title are in your name only.
It may be possible to put a spouse or partner's name on the deed or title to the home, even if the mortgage is in your name only. However, there are risks that you should carefully consider and you may want to consult a real estate lawyer. For example, the other person could have ownership rights to the home, including the ability to take out a loan on the property or sell their share of the home independently (depending on the type of ownership).
Will your partner help pay the monthly mortgage payments, or will that be your responsibility alone?
Would you be able to handle the mortgage payments on your own for at least a few months, if you needed to?
If you break up, what will happen? Will your partner simply pack their bags and move out? Will you owe any money to your partner for their contributions to the payments/home?
If your home value increases, will your partner receive a share of that appreciation if you break up or decide to sell the home?
Just as when you're buying together, it's a good idea to write down your answers to these questions, and you may want to put those answers in a formal agreement. That way everyone remembers and is accountable to the agreement in the same way. You may want to talk with a real estate lawyer to make sure you understand exactly how the laws in your state work. A lawyer can also help you draw up a written agreement that clearly spells out who is contributing what and how things will be resolved if you decide to split up down the road. Legal advice and a written agreement can help to protect you and your partner.
Similarly, if your spouse or partner is considering buying a home on their own, it's important to understand the risks for you, as the spouse or partner whose name is not on the title. If you are the person whose name is not on the title and you don't live in a community property state, you will have fewer rights to the property. If you're not married, you may have no rights to the property. If your partner decides to sell the home, or loses it to foreclosure, you will likely have to move. It's a good idea to have an honest conversation with your partner about expectations and consider consulting a real estate lawyer to understand your rights.

Female website owners and bloggers twice as likely to engage in affiliate marketing activity in future
By Ishbel Macleod-03 April 2014 17:00pm
Almost half (47 per cent) of female website owners will begin promoting products and services on their respective blogs and websites, research from Optimus Performance Marketing has said.
Of the 632 females and 589 males who took part in the survey, 86 per cent of the participants had at least a basic understanding of how affiliate marketing functions, but only 14 per cent of the male respondents and six per cent of females had experience of using it in the past.
Only 23 per cent of the men asked agreed that they would be doing so in the next year or so; with a further 24 per cent of females and 11 per cent of males stating it was part of their plan within the next five years.
Mark Russell, managing director at Optimus Performance Marketing, said: "At present, with the affiliate sector being largely male dominated, it is hard to see why affiliate marketing hasn't yet managed to strike a chord with more female bloggers and professionals. Yet our study highlights that, in the future, more women are gearing up to take the plunge into the affiliate world."
The most popular reason given for introducing affiliate marketing was earning some extra money, with 41 per cent saying this is why they are looking into the channel. A third (34 per cent) said that the topics their blog/website is associated with would 'fit in well' with affiliates, while 18 per cent thought affiliate marketing would enable them to have better content on their site for visitors.

The Fun Dust Bible: Part Two
Thu 9 August 2018
A little bit mad, a little bit anarchic, but hopefully unexpected and engaging…
(If you missed part one, click here)
Part Two: The Bit with the Giant
The giant had huge metal-looking teeth and fists like humongous rocks. He stood at the front and smashed one of his hands on the lectern. A million, billion, gazillion tiny specks of church dust rose up and in that one single moment everyone gasped as they realised that Rihanna the cleaner had been nipping off to the cinema to eat fizzy coke bottles and watch Marvel movies when she should have been wafting a duster about on a Friday afternoon. The noise of the giant's hand slap was so great that even the spiders awoke, shook their heads and sat up, and a few of the dead woodlice who had been doubling as pillows for them, blinked and sneezed and yawned their way back to life, it was such a shocking thing.
The giant opened his mouth to roar but his throat was a bit dry so it came out like a kitten whose voice had just broken purring, so he took a sip of the vicar's water and discovered it was three month's old; so he spat it into the air and caught it in his coat pocket. For which he got a round of applause. That almost made him forget to be scary, but then he remembered, roared and sent three short-sighted church mice skittering up the clock which hadn't worked since the days when that nursery rhyme had first been written.
'Listen!' he yelled, and he started saying 'Fee Fi Fo Fum,' but then realised this wasn't that story… 'Listen, you lot are all dead! I know you look pretty lifeless already, but now I'm here you will be no more, you will be ex-people.' And he threw back his head and laughed like a drain, which was a strange noise as no one had ever heard a drain laugh before.
Suddenly there was another voice. It wasn't the vicar, (he was too busy wondering if there would still be time for his 90 minute sermon) or the woodlice, who might have woken up but still couldn't impersonate a human being. No, the voice was coming from the rippling pages of the Bible, the one still covered with a fine layer of Fun Dust.
'Oh no you don't!' said the pages.
'Oh yes I do!' said the giant.
'Oh no you d…'
The rest was drowned out as everyone thought they were at a pantomime and started to join in.
This made the giant really angry and he bared his metal-looking teeth even more and smashed his humongous rock like fist on the nearest pile of hymn books. This made everyone gasp as they noticed the books weren't all facing the same way and it was clear that Beyonce the book tidier was actually nipping off down the ice cream place for a mountain of Ben and Jerry's Rocky Road and Key Lime pie on a Thursday morning instead of tidying the books.
Suddenly there was the sound of a yawn and a splurt and a small teenager shot out of the Bible and flew right up in the air, swinging a catapult as he came. The giant pulled back his head and got ready to head-butt the youngster, but before he could a rock came flying out of nowhere (actually it wasn't nowhere, it was from the boy's catapult, but the giant didn't know that) and he head-butted the rock, which gave him an ever so nasty little bruise and a bit of a headache… as well as splitting his skull open and killing him for good. Bang!!! The whole church shook as he crashed to the ground in a cloud of grit and dirt and moths, and everyone gasped as they realised that Drake the carpet cleaner had been nipping off down to the wool shop on a Wednesday to do some knitting instead of hoovering the old church carpet. The giant lay dead, the teenager landed like a ballerina with a deadly sling (but not in tights) as he glided down and came to rest with one foot on the giant's chest.
'HI, I'm David,' he said.
Everyone clapped. So he told them, 'Enough already!' I didn't do this on my own own, ya know. I had help.' And he pointed up.
'What – from the vampire bats up in the roof?' everyone said in perfect unison.
'No! From the one who made bats… and spiders… and woodlice and giants. He helped me. So get over it and chew on it like a piece of Marmite-flavoured gum! Bye for now!'
And he was gone, off to check his ancient, wooden, mobile, Old Testament phone. And everyone stared at the body on the carpet, which was so horrible it was already starting to smell.

At Alexander's we know cars. We know when parts require replacement and when they can wait a few more months. We know what your car needs to make it through the winter. Bring your car in today and have peace of mind next time you're driving in the cold Minnesota weather.
Here at Alexander's we offer a winterization service which includes two basic procedures. The first is an oil change. Although the oil weight doesn't change, good, clean oil does protect your engine better in the cold winter months. The second part of our winterization service is a vehicle inspection. We test the battery, cooling system, and heat output. We also inspect every basic system including the brakes, steering and suspension, tires, fluids, and drive train. If we find any problems, we let you know what we found and make a recommendation on when and how the problem should be fixed.
The one thing we can't keep a constant eye on is your tire pressure. Your tires will lose 1 psi for every 10° the temperature drops. Many modern cars are equipped with tire pressure monitor systems (TPMS). When that light comes on it means one or more of your tires has fallen below the recommended pressure. This should be fixed as quickly as possible because driving with insufficient tire pressure will damage the tire. If you don't have TPMS, you should check your tire pressure regularly. Refilling on gas is a good time to check your tire pressure. We would also be happy to check your tire pressures — just stop in and ask!

The Real Clear Politics average of polls taken in the gubernatorial race since Sept. 18 has an average of 48.2 percent of respondents favoring Democrat Roy Cooper to McCrory's 43.6, the largest margin of any of the three biggest races in the state. The last poll that had McCrory leading was conducted Sept. 18-20 and three have reported Cooper ahead since then.
Margins are tighter in the other two key races, for president and U.S. Senate, but show Democrats narrowly ahead.
Hillary Clinton had 44 percent to Donald Trump's 42.7 percent and Libertarian Gary Johnson's 7.1 percent in North Carolina in seven polls taken in the state since Sept. 18, RCP says. If one includes only polls conducted after the Sept. 26 presidential debate, the numbers are more favorable to Clinton. Her average is 45.2 percent, Trump's is 42.2 percent and Johnson's is at 6.8 percent.
The Senate race is the tightest, with Democrat Deborah Ross leading Richard Burr by only 0.4 of a percent, 43.7 percent to 43.3.
These numbers will make Democrats happier than Republicans, but all three races are far from over. The average results in the presidential and Senate races are well within the margin of error for a typical poll, and lots of things could shake up the races between now and Election Day.
The farther the NCAA and Atlantic Coast Conference's decisions to move events out of the state recede into the past, the better it is for McCrory. Hurricane Matthew probably won't have a big impact on the race, but it could if people view the state's response as particularly good or bad. Unless his administration flubs the aftermath of the storm, it should help McCrory to be in the public eye in a non-political context.
In the presidential race, Trump's performance in the first debate unintentionally lowered expectations for his performance in the second and third ones. If he is more disciplined in the next two - no predictions here - there's a good chance they will be seen as wins for him. Improving economic data, however, would boost Clinton and people often don't pay as much attention to latter debates as they do the first one.
The especially close margin in the Senate race will probably attract even more spending from both parties and their allies, hoping that just a few more TV ads will push their candidate over the top. Burr should be a more regular presence in the state now that Congress is in recess. Ross was hurt in the beginning by poor name recognition. Recent polling results suggest she may have finally overcome that obstacle.
And, something totally unexpected could happen to hurt or help either Democrats or Republicans. Events matter.

Baden-Baden () is a spa town in the state of Baden-Württemberg, south-western Germany, at the north-western border of the Black Forest mountain range on the small river Oos, ten kilometres (six miles) east of the Rhine, the border with France, and forty kilometres (twenty-five miles) north-east of Strasbourg, France.

In 2021, the town became part of the transnational UNESCO World Heritage Site under the name "Great Spa Towns of Europe", because of its famous spas and architecture that exemplifies the popularity of spa towns in Europe in the 18th through 20th centuries.

Name
The springs at Baden-Baden were known to the Romans as  ("The Waters") and  ("Aurelia-of-the-Waters") after M. Aurelius Severus Alexander Augustus.

In modern German,  is a noun meaning "bathing" but Baden, the original name of the town, derives from an earlier  plural form of  ("bath"). (Modern German uses the plural form .) As with the English placename "Bath", other Badens are at hot springs throughout Central Europe. The current doubled name arose to distinguish it from the others, particularly Baden near Vienna in Austria and Baden near Zürich in Switzerland. The original Margraviate of Baden (1112-1535) split into several territories, including Baden-Baden and Baden-Durlach. The name "Baden-Baden" distinguished the  Margraviate of Baden-Baden (1535–1771), from the  Margraviate of Baden-Durlach. "Baden-Baden" thus means the town of Baden in the territory of Baden, whereas the name of the Margraviate of Baden-Baden meant "the Margraviate of Baden with its princely seat at Baden". Baden-Baden formally got its current name in 1931.

Geography
Baden-Baden lies in a valley of the Northern Black Forest in southwestern Germany. The western districts lie within the Upper Rhine Plain. The highest mountain of Baden-Baden is the Badener Höhe (), which is part of the Black Forest National Park. The old town lies on the side of a hill on the right bank of the Oos. Since the 19th century, the principal resorts have been located on the other side of the river. There are 29 natural springs in the area, varying in temperature from . The water is rich in salt and flows from artesian wells  under Florentine Hill at a rate of 341 litres (90 gallons) per minute and is conveyed through pipes to the town's baths.

History
Roman settlement at Baden-Baden has been dated as far back as the emperor Hadrian, but on dubious authority. The known ruins of the Roman bath were rediscovered just below the New Castle in 1847 and date to the reign of Caracalla (AD 210s), who visited the area to relieve his arthritic aches. The facilities were used by the Roman garrison in Strasbourg.

The town fell into ruin but its church was first constructed in the 7th century. By 1112, it was the seat of the Margraviate of Baden. The Lichtenthal Convent () was founded in 1254. The margraves initially used Hohenbaden Castle (the Old Castle, ), whose ruins still occupy the summit above the town, but they completed and moved to the New Castle () in 1479. The Margraviate was divided in 1535, with Baden-Baden becoming the capital of the Margraviate of Baden-Baden, while the other portion became the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach. The Baden-Baden witch trials, an investigating encompassing the entire territory and resulting in hundreds of verdicts, took place in 1627-1631.  Baden suffered severely during the Thirty Years' War, particularly at the hands of the French, who plundered it in 1643. They returned to occupy the city in 1688 at the onset of the Nine Years' War, burning it to the ground the next year. The margravine Sibylla rebuilt the New Castle in 1697, but the margrave Louis William removed his seat to Rastatt in 1706. The Stiftskirche was rebuilt in 1753 and houses the tombs of several of the margraves.

The town began its recovery in the late 18th century, serving as a refuge for émigrés from the French Revolution. The town was frequented during the Second Congress of Rastatt in 1797–99 and became popular after the visit of the Prussian queen in the early 19th century. She came for medicinal reasons, as the waters were recommended for gout, rheumatism, paralysis, neuralgia, skin disorders, and stones. The Ducal government subsequently subsidized the resort's development. The town became a meeting place for celebrities, who visited the hot springs and the town's other amenities: luxury hotels, the Spielbank Casino, horse races, and the gardens of the Lichtentaler Allee. Guests included Queen Victoria, Wilhelm I, and Berlioz. The pumproom () was completed in 1842. The Grand Duchy's railway's mainline reached Baden in 1845. Reaching its zenith under Napoleon III in the 1850s and '60s, Baden became "Europe's summer capital". With a population of around , the town's size could quadruple during the tourist season, with the French, British, Russians, and Americans all well represented. (French tourism fell off following the Franco-Prussian War.)

The theater was completed in 1861 and a Greek church with a gilt dome was erected on the Michaelsberg in 1863 to serve as the tomb of the teenage son of the prince of Moldavia Mihail Sturdza after he died during a family vacation. A Russian Orthodox church was also subsequently erected. The casino was closed for a time in the 1870s.

Just before the First World War, the town was receiving  visitors each year.

During the Second World War, 3.1% of the houses in Baden-Baden were completely destroyed by bombs and 125 civilians were killed. 5.8% of the houses were heavily damaged by bombs. Lichtenthal, a residential area in the southwest of the town, was hit by bombs and Saint Bonifatius Church was severely damaged on 11 March 1943. Balg, a residential area in the northeast of Baden-Baden, was hit by bombs on 17 December 1944. On 30 December 1944 one third of the buildings of Oos (i.e. about 300 houses), a residential area in the north of the town, was destroyed or heavily damaged by bombs and Saint Dionysius Church was severely damaged as well. On 2 January 1945 the railway station of Oos and various barracks on Schwarzwald Road were heavily damaged by bombs.
After World War II, Baden-Baden became the headquarters of the French occupation forces in Germany as well as of the Südwestfunk, one of Germany's large public broadcasting stations, which is now part of Südwestrundfunk. From 23–28 September 1981, the XIth Olympic Congress took place in Baden-Baden's . The Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, Germany's largest opera and concert house, opened in 1998.

CFB Baden-Soellingen, a military airfield built in the 1950s in the Upper Rhine Plain,  west of downtown Baden-Baden, was converted into a civil airport in the 1990s. Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport, or Baden Airpark is now the second-largest airport in Baden-Württemberg by number of passengers.

In 1981 Baden-Baden hosted the Olympic Congress, which later has made the town awarded the designation Olympic town.

Our pain specialists provide advanced interventional and medical pain services for inpatients and outpatients.
At CepEsperu Baptist Health, we understand the effect that pain can have on a person. Acute pain—like the type following surgery—can hinder the healing process and even lead to other health problems. Chronic pain can impact your day-to-day activities, work and outlook.
That's why our pain specialists are dedicated to providing effective and safe pain control services on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. We serve as a partner for our patients, working closely with you to identify the best pain care techniques for your individual needs.
Our pain specialists provide a variety of advanced interventional and medical pain specialty services for inpatients and outpatients.
The inpatient pain service provides consultations for hospitalized patients with post-surgical, cancer and medical pain.
Our outpatient pain specialists provide advanced interventional and medical pain services for patients with acute, sub-acute and chronic (persistent) pain of cancerous, neuropathic and arthritic origin.
For patients who undergo surgery at CepEsperu Baptist Medical Center, pain management is an important part of the healing process. Our pain team includes physicians, advanced practice providers (nurse practitioners and physician assistants), and nurses who help ensure you are as comfortable as possible with minimal pain.
For post-surgical pain we focus on identifying patients prior to surgery that may have pain that is difficult to manage postoperatively. This may include acute postoperative pain, acute pain related to trauma, acute chronic pain, or chronic pain patients that are admitted to the hospital for conditions not related to their pain diagnosis.
Effective pain management has been shown to help patients heal more quickly and comfortably following a surgery. With less pain, you are more likely to be able to get out of bed, move with ease and do recommended breathing exercises. These simple steps can speed recovery, prevent lung problems, decrease the chance of a blood clot and shorten the overall length of time with pain.
The CepEsperu Baptist Health Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) serves inpatients following surgery to help manage their pain and encourage healing. The inpatient pain service also serves as a liaison to transition patients from the inpatient setting to the outpatient pain locations.
What Types of Pain Services are Available?
The pain team works with each patient and surgeon to determine which pain management technique will work best. If you experience any side effects, such as nausea or itching, it's important to tell the inpatient pain service physicians, advanced practice providers, or nurse, so they can decide if a different technique may be more effective.
Learn more about what to expect before, during and after surgery.
For patients with acute, sub-acute or chronic (persistent) pain, CepEsperu Baptist offers effective and timely outpatient pain specialty services. Our goal is to ensure your safety while helping you live a full life that are not dictated by pain.
During your first appointment, which usually lasts around 30 minutes, your physician will work with you to fully understand your chronic pain.
Please note that no pain medications are initiated at the first consultation visit.
Your initial appointment may include a physical examination. Your doctor may request diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerized tomography (CT) scan, to better understand your condition. If such tests are required, your doctor may provide specific instructions on how to prepare for your appointment.
Next, your physician will work with you to develop a personalized pain management plan. This may include medication, physical or occupational therapy, interventions or a combination of techniques. When needed, we can work with your primary care provider to facilitate your pain management.
Following your initial appointment, follow-up appointments usually last around 15 minutes. During these visits, you and your doctor will discuss your pain level and formulate further plans. Be sure to tell your doctor if you experience changes in your pain level or have any problems with your medication.


If you're experiencing hot flashes or night sweats, it might be time to check your hormone levels. Fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone can result in a surge of adrenaline, which will affect your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. Ask your doctor or naturopath to do a full panel of hormone and cortisol tests that will not only look at the levels but also at how you are feeling.

NBA Finals: Scott Brooks Is Over His Head
Is it possible to fire a coach in the middle of the NBA Finals?
By Brian McDonald Jun 18, 2012, 12:20pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: NBA Finals: Scott Brooks Is Over His Head
Jun 17, 2012; Miam, FL, USA; Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks reacts during the first quarter in game three in the 2012 NBA Finals against the Miami Heat at the American Airlines Arena. Mandatory Credit: Derick E. Hingle-US PRESSWIRE
Is it possible to fire a coach during the middle of the NBA Finals? The Thunder have been close and I think would have won the last two games if they had a coach making adjustments to the way the Heat are playing them.
On strategy, I'd like to see the Thunder mix in some zone defense but they seem to be unwilling to try it. Chris Bosh is arguably the best jump shooter among the Heat starters; it's not their strength. It's not a secret that LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are at best below average jump shooters and more affective when attacking the basket. Last night James shot 11-23 overall but just 3-11 on jump shots. Wade shot 8-22 from the field overall, not great, but much better than his 2-11 on jump shots. Overall James and Wade combined to shoot 12-21 on layups and just 5-22 on jump shots. This isn't rocket science, play some zone, stop their penetration, and force them to shoot from the outside. The entire Heat offense revolves around penetration and getting into the paint. Overall as a team the Heat shot just 8-40 (20%) on jump shots last night, yet for some reason Brooks is unwilling to try something different. With the great length of the Thunder, they'd completely shut down penetration and the passing lanes with a zone defense. The zone will give up a few open looks from the outside, but so what, as the numbers prove; they can't shoot. I'm not suggesting they use it the whole game, but at least mix it in. The Mavericks did last year with a good amount of success and that team isn't half as athletic as OKC.
Even on what should be simple, like his rotation, he seems to fall asleep at the wheel nearly every game. For example, when Durant went out in the 3rd quarter with his 4th foul; why did Brooks also put Russell Westbrook on the bench? Westbrook wasn't in foul trouble, he has young legs; with them both on the bench, where was their offense supposed to come from? Leaving one of his stars on the bench for 3-5 minutes at a time, or leaving Perkins or Fisher on the floor when they're completely ineffective for long stretches seems to have become a habit for Brooks.
The Thunder has had success under Brooks so I don't see them firing him, but I think they should. In my opinion Brooks was a classic example of right place, right time. He took over during the 2008-2009 season after P.J. Carlesimo got off to a 1-12 start. Brooks, with no head coaching experience, inherited a very young, extremely talented roster that was on the verge of exploding and becoming a great team regardless of who their coach was. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just see Brooks as the lucky guy who happened to be the next in line when they made a coaching change on a young team; they could do much better.
