I think the +/- should be calculated on a per minute basis. If you think about it, this should be the ultimate tool to measure a player's performance within a team. I think it's basically useless as a inter-team stats tool, but within the team, this kind of encompasses all the aspects of a game. The players with the best +/- per minute should be considered the MVP of the team, because basically while he's on the field, the team is performing at its peak. And that's regardless of the rest of the stats, it could be that the best player on a team is a very good defensive player like bowen, who doesn't do much else. Or it could be a very profilic scorer like arenas, who has a shitty FG% and plays lousy defense.

You guys are going to give yourselves a coronary because you focus ALL your criticism towards T.J.. It's quite amusing now.
Anyhow, offensively I liked the ball movement and the constant looks and touches in the post. Rasho, Andrea and Chris all played great in our frontcourt. Defensively, we were lackadaisical but its hard to get up and motivated for teams like New York. So, I'll cut them some slack today. A win nevertheless and back in the 6th spot for the moment. |

Let's not fool ourself, the way we play today any team above .500 would've beating us by not less of 20 points, in the offense event we were throwing bricks one after another in the critical moments where we were just about to go for a run. As I posted earlier the way NY play is contagious, we still don't have that maturity level where we can dictate our game without absorbing the game of a team that is coachless, yes we won but still too much confusion on the floor something is missing in the chemistry.

TJ played a near perfect game tonight and has put together 2 very good pure pg type games.
I told you guys we'd go on a streak once we hit the beautiful stretch of our schedule. If we beat New Orleans we may run the table, if not, after NO we may run the table, heh. We need Washington to run the table as well to stay infront of us. PLZNO5THSEEDGODKTHXBYE |

Well we are on alittle streak 2 games in a row. Looks like moving Jose and Bargs to the second unit is working. TJ has not hurt us yet as a starter, he has held his own, alittle bit of a drop off from having Jose as a starter but not so bad. Jose has been able to over come what TJ has served him by igniting the second unit. Jose seems to make the players around him better compared to TJ. In our last 2 games (wins) Jose was a + 10 and +9 for a total of +19, TJ was a - 3 and a +1 for a total of -2. No matter what role you put Jose in he seems to play well, however it seems that TJ requires the better players around him to play better.In conclusion the key for the duo to work really comes down to Mitch and his substitution pattern. Mitch must rule with a iron hand when assigning minutes with his point guards. He can't be concerned about pissing off TJ with reduction of minutes. We all know that Jose is good but sometimes he walks on the court with our team so far behind that we just don't have enough time to get back into games.Jose was our spark off the bench last year and he will be once again. We should continue to bring Jose out with the second unit, he just makes everyone that much better and let TJ start because hes a big suck and he needs the better players to help his game. We won't have to worry about this next year, all this catering to the suck TJ will be gone when the Raptors unload the attitude to another team. The Bucks unloaded TJ for a reason and it looks the Raptors will unload him for the same reason I just hope there is a team willing to take him.Players,fans,media and the world saw how the cry baby got his starting job back, he was not deserving but everyone is biting the bullet for the team. This controls the cancer for the time being we all should hope that the cancer does not spread. Putting TJ back in the starters role is like TJ getting radiation treatment to control the cancer,however,I am not convinced that the cancer will be completly eliminated until we ship his ass out of town.

we had 2 bad games against a team who was dead tired and a team who needed overtime 2 days ago to beat Miami. We won both of them, and now suddenly optimism is everywhere ... TJ sucked in both these games, he is trying to play like Jos enow, in control, which basically denies the only advantage he has over Jose. Defensively, Sma had to pull him off Billups after 4 minutes in the first quarter, and on Crawford tonight he was equally bad, especially in the first half.
We'll see the true face of this "new" team tomorrow, against a very motivated NOK team (even though they will be tired after a long road trip). I'm looking forward on TJ's defense on Chris Paul, and how will he handle it if Paul starts to dominate (pretty good chance of that happening). It will be interesting .... |

Regarding the TJ's thing, not sure how you can play so good, and have a negative +/- in both games, even though you won. Maybe I'm pointing the obvious here, but a negative +/- means that while you are on the floor, the team loses points, i.e the team is playing worse. It doesn't say why, could be offense, defense, turnovers etc, but the one thing it does say is that the team is not performing well. +/- is not PER or some other weird stat - and look at any team in the league, you will see that usually it's the best player on that team has the highest +/-. I wouldn't bring the +/- in this discussion, but obviously we watched the same game and have very different opinions on TJ's play. Since we both are subjective in this thing, I thought an objective, cold stat could settle this thing. |

Property Taskforce
A former initiative of POLIS, Property Taskforce was an action-oriented think-tank active in 2006-2008 that addressed the barriers private property regimes pose to ecological governance, indigenous sovereignty and political freedom. Property Taskforce sought to explore and expose a common technology of control underpinning the expansion of property rights found, for example, in software development, agricultural production, patents on life, the public sector and ecosystem services. Property Taskforce also sought to highlight worldwide indigenous, peasant, and urban resistance to the propertization of life itself through the adoption and persistence of collective property enterprises and forms of life.
Some projects that Property Taskforce was involved with include research and action collaborations around affordable housing and mapping "off grid" spaces in urban centres.
The Property Taskforce website was moderated by Shiri Pasternak.

In a crowded city at a busy bus stop, a beautiful young woman wearing a tight mini skirt was waiting for a bus. As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step of the bus.
Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus driver, she reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little, thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg. She tried to take the step, only to discover that she couldn't.
So, a little more embarrassed, she once again reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little more, and for the second time attempted the step. Once again, much to her chagrin, she could not raise her leg.
With a little smile to the driver, she again reached behind to unzip a little more and again was unable to take the step.
About this time, a large dude who was standing behind her picked her up easily by the waist and placed her gently on the step of the bus.
She went ballistic and turned to the would-be Samaritan and yelled, "How dare you touch my body! I don't even know who you are!"
The dude smiled and drawled, "Well, ma'am, normally I would agree with you, but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured we was friends"

Hyatt Regency Indianapolis
1 South Capitol Avenue, Indianapolis, IN
0.0 mi from
Heat did not work in our room. Brr!! Would only go up to 62 degrees.
Clean, good location, good service there was construction on my floor but it had no impact on me.
Big room. Several restaurants at the hotel. Connected to the mall Had to pay to park...I guess that is expected in the city though. Hotel was great though!
Excellent view, fast elevators, handsome lobby, pillows of varied thickness. Paying for wifi, paying for parking, noisy neighbors. This is trivial, but it mattered to me: the paper coffee cup they provide in the room leaked on my white shirt while I was in a meeting.
Very nice rooms. Comfortable beds! Very well kept. Breakfast not included and was expensive if you wanted to order it.
Clean, and comfy. Walking distance to most of the entertainment downtown has to offer. Paying 30 dollars a day to park in the hotel garage.
The food, particularly the oatmeal, was very good. Also, the room service and front desk staff were friendly and helpful. We had to wait well into the evening (until 7 or 8nat night) for our room to be cleaned and that only happened by then because we asked. Several times. The wallpaper was peeling in the bathroom, the shower curtain smelled of mildew and there was mold in the shower
Staff was excellent and very helpful Parking prices
The location was great, and cannot be beat. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious and comfortable! Parking should either be included or discounted for those staying. We reserved a King deluxe facing the city and got 2 full size deluxe room facing air conditioning units on top of the conference center. Overall clean hotel, but for a downtown hotel for the price, it wasn't satisfactory.
Very Clean
The beds! No rooftop access.
Convenient with helpful staff. Very nice rooms. Great having a starbucks in lobby. The restaurant in the hotel was a pseudo-high-end steak place, not good for travelling with kids.
Location No parking available for guests upon check-in. We had to find a public parking lot several blocks away. Bathroom sink would not drain. When the toilet was flushed, water backed up in the sink. Bathtub faucet was very loose from wall and fixtures didn't look clean.
Love that The Westin is pet friendly, but no dog NRD or bowls this time. Tight fit on double beds.
The view from our room was of downtown and from the 13th floor pretty incredible. Everything we needed was within walking distance which for us was wonderful. For the cost of the room, tacking on a fee for wifi seemed much. Being in this hotel for business made conducting business difficult and the computers in the lobby were no help. I feel a bit like I paid for more than what I got out of staying in this hotel; beautiful, but pricey.
We were given the keys to an occupied room, which turned out to be an NFL player, then left in the hallway for an hour while the hotel tried to figure out where to put us. They told us the hotel was empty from New Year's Eve the night before but seemed to have booked the only two customers to the same suite! No apologies whatsoever from the manager of the hotel after the hour and a half inconvenience of looking at three rooms before finally getting to what we paid for. We were given a credit to the hotel restaurant and when we tried to use it the bartender told us to pay the tab and the front desk would reimburse us the next day. Thought it was weird but had somewhere to be so I paid the tab. Needless to say, we didn't get a dime back of the "credit" we were supposed to receive, instead we spent $70 on a restaurant we weren't planning to go to. The customer service we experienced for a Westin was unbelievable and they did nothing to make up for all the issues. Will never stay here again.
They upgraded us for free since it was our anniversary which was so gracious and nice!
the renovation finishes we not up to par, everything was sloppily done. our roon overlooked a nasty rooftop. we had to pay an additional $30 to park our own car on the premises after the room was over $150. Ridiculous and we expected a beautiful hotel. The whole lobby was under construction and it was embarrassing to have to bring my guest in to that.
Value and location Elevators were a bit noises and bathroom was small
Staff, beds, shower head and view Common space, gym, pool deck, parking lot
Comfortable beds, clean rooms, extremely polite staff, just overall a great experience Nothing that was the hotels fault. It was a loud weekend because of motorcycles, but other wise it was a great experience.
Close to everything. We walked to dinner and a blues bar. Great view. Didn't get a chance to go to roof top bar but it looked appealing
Nice and clean hotel. Rooms were small, and the bed was comfortable. I would recommend a stay here.
Our Room with a city view was beautiful. The bed was comfortable. It seems to be a clean facility/property. The location was great in accordance to the venue we were to attend. The Staff was attentive & courteous. I actually wish we could have stayed longer to see some of the cities history and sights. The Room was Kind of "Pricey"........ A few minor maintenance issues could soon need tending too...... The windows were sludgy/foggy. I was told during my booking that garage parking was included, but when we arrived, there was a $25 per night parking fee.
quiet. Honestly the bed comforters had stains on it and it was gross. There were no robes in the room, bathroom towels so small and thin, hotel food was not good...
The staff was great and the beds very comfortable. Great location, especially for the price! Small thing, I wish the pool was indoors.
Friendly staff the best staff is Breyona Johnson Dirty bathrooms
Friendly staff Elevators were broken
Rooms were clean and nicely appointed. Convenient location in center of Indy if you need a location to walk from. Elevators were extremely noisy, If you are going to stay here, I would suggest a room as far away from the elevators as possible as they ROAR as they pass the floor each time - sound like a jet taking off - there are 4 elevators too...
It is a great location and could easily walk to restaurants, bars and the mall. The elevators were not great and the number it showed did not always match the floor you were on. The food at the restaurant hotel was not very good.
Very clean and setup well, Lots of extra pillows
the pool; the restaurant; the warmth and helpfulness of the staff the bathroom was nicely done but a bit cramped; the bed was too soft
Most full service hotels have a very nice look from a distance but up close, are a bit dirty or have out dated bathroom fixtures. It seems like there's always some small disappointment. This place was very nice when we walked in, and was still very nice as we looked closer and settled into our room. It was a great hotel!
Loved the location of hotel. Staff was very helpful- minus the restaurant hostess Rooms were very small, coffee maker disgusting along with staircases and ice machine.
The staff is extremely friendly and very eager to assist Asked for a king bed when made my reservation(a coupke weeks in advance) but told when i arrived only doubles were available
The decor and everything has been updated very well, but some of the elements of the building remain in disrepair - which to the credit of the Omni, they are working on. It was clean, staff were all nice, and the location was very convenient. It's an old building and there were two issues that arose from that - 1, The elevators were in repair during my three night stay, necessitating either a long wait or a long walk to the opposite wing. Not a biggie, but an inconvenience. Also, 2. the hot water took so long to come on in the shower I wondered if I had even used the handle correctly. It was very slow...but the building is older than dirt, so whattaya gonna do?
Great location, friendly staff very small rooms and VERY small bathroom
The bed and the towels and the other materials felt luxurious. The room was exceedingly small. The Omni name and the expense did not match the size of the room.
Beautiful hotel with excellent customer service My room was located next to a hospitality room where young people were talking very loud on a Sunday early morning. We were awaken at 5 am due to noisy neighbors.
Very clean, comfortable, and excellent location for access to convention center. Some of the friendliest staff I have ever encountered. They were all extremely helpful, available, and always smiling. Parking garage was easy in and out. View from room was beautiful. Long waits for elevators, especially at night. Ice only available on 2nd floor. No refrigerator or microwave in rooms. Wi-fi and parking rates very expensive.
Very clean and great location. Staff was very accommodating The room service food was absolutely terrible and it took over 45 minutes to "cook" and bring up to our room. Over priced for bad, cheaply made food
I was staying at the JW for a conference and the accommodations were convenient and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout the facility. Great job.
Very modern and classy makes you feel like a high roller without breaking the bank No complaints
well located, modern, clean, efficient staff. King size bed, while comfortable, needs to be "pillow top" as it is hard, even for a 270lbs man, to enjoy a restful night sleep. These should be standard in your concierge floor. Paying $31.00 for parking. The location does not permit parking on the street. This reservation was at rack rate.... Wi-Fi access, was "free" in the concierge lounge, but a $12.00 charge when in the room. Not too logical.
The hotel was very nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable The hotel was very busy and a bit chaotic. The parking garage was full so we had to finding parking elsewhere.
the hotel decor and staff were great. I paid extra for the "City View" only to be put at the back of the hotel. Also, our room was right beside the elevator. The elevator made a high pitched squeak every time it moved. We were celebrating our 22nd anniversary at the noise was annoying and kept waking us up.
The art and design elements are excellent. Staff is friendly and accommodating to guests. The popcorn and hummus at Platt 99 (bar) was good. Nice Gin selection too. The first suite room I was given it had a strong mildew smell. The second room did too but just not as much so I didn't say anything. There was a water mark on the bathroom ceiling. (note: spoke with an Indy friend that was recently down there using a conference room during a heavy rain and water was coming near the windows. No doubt there's a water leak issue). The bed sheets had a tear in it and I ran out of toilet paper since the roll was low and they didn't leave a spare. The "mixology" bar is lacking the "-ology." The bartender hasn't studied much as she mixed my Tom Collins with Sprite. Just a notch above using sour mix. Went with just Gin and Tonic on the second round and got upcharged for Q Tonic. So, they hit it on the surface but miss on execution of product. The good news is it's easily correctable and I hope they do because this is a nice addition to Indianapolis.
Room smelled
Loved the art throughout the hotel, made it special to be there. Food and drinks were good, the room was very nice. We hope to visit again!
Boutique feel in a business size hotel.
We truly enjoyed the initial vibe walking into the hotel and seeing the colorful lamps. The artwork throughout the hotel was a bonus. Cannot wait to visit Indy again. The only downside...did not have a chance to go to the bar...next time!
The bar was amazing. Bartenders were extremely knowledgeable and it was a really fun atmosphere. I found two used bandaids on a pillow in our room. Ruined the hotel experience for me.
Urban feel, crisp, 2 excellent bars and outdoor terrace, hip, green, upscale, quiet but not dead, very accommodating staff, close but not in the noisy center of things. The art and furnishings are the best. I saw that a Yolk breakfast restaurant was opening on the corner. That's a great breakfast place. You can take your dog, they even have a place to walk him. Getting into or out of the parking garage seems to always be a a hassle. No pool, but sometimes that's a good thing = no noisy children. I just like to know I have the option. No rooms have tubs, but they have great showers.
energy efficient pet friendly clean modern good location
It was a very nice hotel inside and the doormen were very friendly and welcoming; the bed was comfortable, although we didn't care for the feather pillows. The woman at the front desk was slightly condescending based, i'm sure, on our appearance (we didn't get fully dressed until we got ready to leave the hotel for the evening); also, the room was a little smaller than we expected for the price-not at lot of space to move around.
The room although not big felt spacious. Staff was very inviting and helpful.
We left with what appeared to be some sort of bites. After some investigation, we discovered they were bed bug bites. And they turned into very itchy and painful sores. More developed in the next couple of days. We did call so they could exterminate the bed. Frank said he would comp the room. We never asked for it but why say it if you aren't going to do it.
The location was great! The staff was very friendly and helpful. My room was very clean and comfortable.
Ambience and location
Excellent location. Small, well appointed hotel with a pleasant, helpful staff.
The room and bathroom were very spacious and the location was great. My son left his stuffed animal there and the housekeeping staff was great! They overnighted it to us the next business day. All the staff was courteous and helpful.
Very nice spacious room. It was clean and comfortable. I was charged 34 dollars to park in the connected garage, but was not told that it cost anything.
Staff was very busy that weekend. Hotel seemed a bit understaffed. Not as friendly/helpful as I would have expected.
Centered in downtown, everything is within reach from this hotel. Great hotel and staff.
Our room was very spacious and the hotel was in a great location (close to shops, restaurants, etc). The beds were comfortable and everything was squeaky clean! This hotel was a bit expensive (but was nice) and there wasn't a shuttle to and from the airport. The cab fare was about $30 plus tip.
The hotel was located conviently and was nice and clean. We had requested a room opposite to the trains and our room was very close to the loud trains that rolled through all night. We won't risk a nights sleep by not getting our request filled next time.
Speedy check in
We liked the friendly staff from the minute we walked into the lobby- everyone was very helpful! The hotel was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do! Fabulous weekend!! We never did get the comfort beds to work but slept ok anyway!
The staff was great. They helped us plan our night when plans were changed and they gave us amazing advice. One reason I picked this hotel was to enjoy the pool and it was closed for cleaning.
the hotel charged my credit card for the stay when i had already been charged by the online booking service and the hotel also charged the online booking service and i have yet to get assistance resolving the matter. i talked to two different people who have told me two different things. When i asked for a copy of my receipt they sent me a blank receipt. When i checked out, i was told the total charge to my card and then told "oh, i wasn't supposed to tell you that". They had asked me to pay again, saying my credit card was declined. When i got home, my credit card statement said otherwise.
The location was great A couple of mornings, coffee in the lobby was left over from the night before
Great to be within blocks of all the activities on monument Square. All employees were very nice and accommodating.
Front desk staff was fantastic. I left my Ipad in the car that was valet parked and they retrieved it in a flash! Connor, the valet supervisor, gave excellent directions for walking to Mass Ave. and was very cordial. Room was very quiet and the bed was so comfortable. Would absolutely return to this hotel!!
The air conditioning in my room went all the way down to 50 degrees, which was definitely the highlight of my stay.
Great location, right next to Monument Circle and in the midst of restaurants and shopping. Hotel and room were very nice and very clean. Breakfast buffet was excellent (does not necessarily come with every room, but came with our reservation through Booking.com). Pool was nice, but small.
They turned off the water while I was brushing my teeth in the morning, so I could not rinse my mouth. They said the water would be off all day. As a result, I was forced to leave them a present in the toilet.
Location in downtown Indianapolis wa excellent
i enjoyed the hotel thought it to be a little pricey but was right down town beautiful city large rooms great beds free internet parking not connected to hotel slow room service
old fashioned, elegant, good breakfasts, very kind and helpful personnel, very good localization dirty windows, windows can not be opened, noisy air conditioning
This hotel was really lovely to stay in, the rooms were very comfortable and the staff welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was rather 'disposable' - no real cutlery or plates, but this was a minor complaint. The food was great and included in the room price.
The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, clean cozy room, valet parking was convenient. No, other than I wish I could have stayed longer!
Location was great
Location Had no hot water but they are refunding our stay. Things happen not the end of the world. Would stay there again.
The location was fantastic, right in the centre of indianapolis, and right next to Centre Circle. The business room was terrific for accessing webmail.
It is right in the center, very easy access,
I liked that the hotel was SO clean, the service was excellent and the breakfast was great! Overall the best hotel I've stayed in, in a long time and will only stay here from now on! -McKenzie
Love the tall ceilings and the brick walls We woke up about 1pm to the sound of the music from the bar located next door. This went on until 3am when the bar eventually closed.
Very nice

Everything. Location was amazing. The suite style room was nice. It wasn't lush as I'm accustomed to. Yet, I couldn't of asked for a friendlier staff and the housekeeping was worth more than money could buy. The hotel even had an officer in lobby during the late hours. Which was comforting. I only have one complaint. The parking garage was 2 blocks away. I felt guilty asking the valet to get the car when I had forgot a few things out of it. So I went without. Also, the $27 a night was a bit much plus tipping. But, the weather was freezing, so okay... Well worth it, I guess. Problem with Priceline... Don't book to early, watch for price changes. I could of saved over $100 if I would of waited or even Just booked through hotel. ( live and learn ) I frequent Indy often, this was my first visit to this hotel. But, I will return. Location is AMAZING. And...now I know true price. You'll not be sorry. The rating for this hotel is way to low.
The only part I liked was the staff and location. The room was cold...no heat. 2 lights were out in the room at check in...another was falling out of the ceiling. The view from our room was nice...but the window had face prints all over it n I told my daughter not to touch it. The shower had hair in it at check in. I had to ask for toilet tissue because it was not refilled during cleaning. Everytime we went to the pool we had to ask for more towels...and sometimes they weren't received before we were done swimming. I am a single mom and we were there for 4 days...the staff was very helpful...but the hotel was not at all what I expected.
Old hotel!!! The location was perfect in downtown, but the hotel was under construction, broken tile in the lobby, primer on the walls, small check in area, etc.l Worst part was their air system only does heat or AC based on the outside weather. Our room was 80 the entire weekend. Parking garage is terrible. Do not take large vehicle in garage. I would not recommend.
Very good locatin.
convenient location and nice room one elevator was out of service, which led to delays getting to and from room
I really liked the layout of the room and the easy access to all the shopping and entertainment.
This was a great hotel; wonderful service with a great downtown location. You're within walking distance of great restaurants, Circle City Mall, Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium. The staff was extremely helpful. We will return again.
The Hotel staff are very courteous and helpful. We needed directions and the personnel at the front desk were very obliging, We came to Indy to ride our bikes on the Monon Trail so the location of the Hotel was good, the trail starts on 10th street. It was our second trip to your Hotele but not our last, let your employees know they do a excellent job.
The heating system was bad. My heat never came on. I understand all the construction, but cleanliness can still be maintained. The elevators were filthy and being used by staff, construction crew and equipment movement. The entrance from the garage was so filthy it reminded me of being in New York. First impressions are everything. I'm sure once all the renovations are complete it be be amazing again.
The staff was wonderful and went out of their way to make our trip enjoyable. I would especially like to thank Shelley Maher - she went completly out of her way to help us and make sure we had one of the larger rooms for our anniversary. She even sent me info. on the places nearby that were having a Thanksgiving meal - it is people like Shelley that will make us return and tell everyone to stay at Embassy Suites. We had been approved for an early check-in and were even an hour later than we had asked. However, when we arrived from our 2.5 hour road trip on Thanksgiving the room was still not ready for 2 hours after we had arrived. Being that it was Thanksgiving and everything was closed or booked, there really wasn't anyplace for us to go. It would have been nice if they would have been able to get the room ready a bit sooner.

by: Dimitri Ganevat, CREA Genève Une conférence exclusive de Brian Solis a été organisée ce vendredi pour les étudiants du bachelor et du master en digital marketing. Des discussions très intéressantes autour de son dernier livre X : The experience when business meets design.
Cominmag: Brian Solis À Lift
Tout va passer par l'émotion que l'on aura susciter », relève ce gourou de la Silicon Valley. Les gens ne se rappellent pas de ce que vous avez fait ou dit mais ils n'oublient pas l'impression que vous leur avez laissé. Vous pouvez avoir conçu le meilleur site, inventé les produits les plus performants, cela n'aura que peu d'impact s'ils n'expriment rien pour eux. »
C'est ce qu'il démontre dans son dernier ouvrage « The Experience : when Business meets Design », un plaidoyer pour un design centré sur l'humain.
The Huffington Post: 20 Brian Solis' Gems Of Wisdom Amid Gems Of Montenegro
You are early adopters. What takes to reach you now is different than yesterday. We are all in control of experiences we have.
Top Rank Marketing: Learn How to Take Your Digital Advertising Strategy Mobile
"Someone has to take the lead in bringing mobile to the forefront of digital design. Investing in a mobile program just to check the box is no longer good enough. The reality is that mobile is now the first screen."
Business 2 Community: Digital Darwinism, Where Do You Stand?
"Digital transformation is more than just digital; it's about remodeling businesses to be agile, innovative, and customer-centric at their core."
Learning with 'e's: Inventing The Future
Brian Solis drew on the seminal work of Clayton Christensen, whose model of technology adoption is widely applied in industry. Disruptive innovation, the seemingly uncomfortable process that arises when new technology or ideas are introduced into a conservative environment, is generally unwelcome to many in the business world. We like certainty and abhor change. Yet disruptive innovation is actually an opportunity for creativity and problem solving in organisations, says Solis.
The ED Sessions: Disrupt Or Be Disrupted
Solis said the first thing society does is judge the next generation with statements like, "put your phone down." What that says is, "You need to be more like me." Solis said to earn relevance society needs to do the opposite and embrace technology. Contrary to old thinking, technology like smart phone apps and social platforms help people become more informed.
LinkedIn's The Sophisticated Marketer's Podcast: Brian Solis on Experiential Marketing
To see how marketers can borrow some of that Disney magic for themselves, I went straight to the experiential marketing man himself: Brian Solis. Brian is a Principal Analyst at Altimeter Group, a LinkedIn Influencer, and a guy with some very, very big ideas for the future of marketing.
1to1 Media: What's Your Digital Stage?
Digital disruption is happening at lightning speed and only some of the best-in-class businesses are successfully keeping up the pace.
In documenting how companies are going through this digital transformation, Brian Solis, principal analyst at Altimeter Group, a Prophet company, developed a maturity model that chronicles the stages and the key areas of focus and change.
Solis said the "6 Stages of Digital Transformation" took 1.5 years to assemble and was developed to help CIOs, CMOs, and key stakeholders follow the paths of other successful companies like Dell, Lego, Starbucks, and Target to help make the case for driving transformation.
LinkedIn.com: Marketing Book Worth a Look, 'X: The Experience When Business Meets Design' by Brian Solis
"Everyone wants great experiences in their life. In business, great experiences are the one thing that's often missing. Customers aren't always happy, especially those who ever have to contact customer service. Reports show consistently that customers want better experiences and executives think they're delivering as such, yet only 8% of customers agree. That's a pretty amazing gap."

The Big Brown-Curlin soap opera continued Aug. 13 when Jess Jackson, majority owner of 2007 Horse of the Year Curlin, announced he will donate $50,000 from the Jackson Curlin for Kids Fund to the non-profit Belmont Child Care Association, Anna House, if Big Brown runs in the $500,000 Woodward Stakes (gr. I) Aug. 30.
Curlin is a definite starter for the 1 1/8-mile Woodward, while Big Brown, winner of the recent Haskell Invitational (gr. I), is looking for a grass race in mid-September as a prep for the Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) Oct. 25.
The catalyst for Jackson's challenge were the comments following the Haskell by Big Brown's trainer Rick Dutrow, who said Big Brown was "way better" than Curlin.
"Big Brown's camp's recent remarks about Curlin inspired me to offer an incentive to get these two great horses to race at the legendary track at the Spa," said Jackson. "Both horses are eligible for this race and both have plenty of time to prepare for what would be thoroughbred racing at its very best and in the name of a great cause.
"This type of competition between horses is exactly what Thoroughbred racing needs -- an event that introduces the excitement and competition of racing to a broader audience. Imagine Horse of the Year Curlin racing against Derby Winner Big Brown, on a legendary track. I would love it, the fans would love it, and the horses would love it. "
When told of the offer, Mike Iavarone, co-president of IEAH Stables, replied, "I have a better offer. We'll donate $250,000 to various charities if Curlin meets us in the Breeders' Cup. These are the things we do anyway. We strongly feel that championships should be decided at the Breeders' Cup and that in order to give both horses the proper time to prepare for each other, we believe the race we meet in should be on racing's biggest stage. It also would allow horses from Europe an opportunity to race against us and prove who the best horse in the world is. You're not going to prove it in a four-horse field in the Woodward. You're going to prove it in a full field in the Breeders' Cup. That's where the champions have been decided almost every year.
"We have said all along that the Breeders' Cup is the race we should all be meeting in and we'll up their figure by five times. It's unfortunate that Mr. Jackson would have to require our horse to run to make a charitable contribution. When you offer to make a donation to charity, it shouldn't come from anywhere but the heart. We've made significant donations to various charities.
"Coming home from the Preakness at 5 oclock in the morning, we saw helicopters overhead on the Long Island Expressway, and the next morning I read a story about a Nassau County police officer, Ken Baribault, who was rear-ended by a drunk driver while he was arresting another drunk driver. He suffered serious injuries and went into a coma. The story was on the page right next to Big Brown. While we were prospering, he and his family were suffering, and I felt it was our duty as Nassau County residents to come to their aid. The idea we had was donate a percentage of the purse money in the Belmont, and we had his family come to the race. Unfortunately that didn't work out. We then went to an event where they were promoting officer Baribault and we made a donation of $50,000 to his son for his scholarship foundation. Then we found out two weeks later that the officer had come out of his coma and was sent to a rehab center in New Jersey only 15 minutes from Monmouth Park. So we arranged for his whole family to come to the Haskell and donated a piece of the purse from the race so someone could stay with him until he can get back on his feet.
"So, again, my answer to Mr. Jackson is, we'll donate $250,000 to several charities if Curlin faces us in the race he's supposed to run in – the Breeders' Cup Classic."
As Iavarone said of Big Brown and this whole topsy-turvy year, "It's the gift that keeps on giving."
Curlin, meanwhile, continues to train for the Woodward, working six furlongs on Aug. 11 in 1:14 3/5 on the sloppy Oklahoma training track at Saratoga.
The Jackson Curlin for Kids Fund is named in honor of Horse of the Year, Curlin. Jess Jackson, founder of Kendall-Jackson Wines, and his wife Barbara Banke – owners of Curlin, created it in 2007. The fund's purpose is to make a difference in the lives of children where Curlin runs or trains by sharing a portion of his earnings with local children's charities. It is held and managed by Lexington-based Blue Grass Community Foundation.
The Belmont Child Care Association is a not-for-profit corporation established in 1998. The BCCA has established an on-site childcare center – Anna House -- for the benefit of working families at New York area racetracks and to providing scholarship funds to those unable to afford the cost of care. Its volunteer board represents the broad-based industry support BCCA enjoys.

A sequence of pictures taken when Tracey jumped out of a plane, fortunately with the aid of a parachute! This was at the Black Knights Parachute Centre.
I was immensely impressed with Tracey for doing this. I tend to subscribe to the view expressed to me by my gliding instructor: "Anyone to jumps out of a perfectly serviceable aeroplane wearing only a parachute needs their head examined".
The whole episode can be seen as a downloadable slide show, as a Windows executable (Warning: huge file).

Devil's Mark by Noyes Capehart is about art stolen by the Nazis, a missing Medici diary and an art forgery ring with taproots in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
Artwork stolen by the Nazis, a multi-million dollar forgery ring, a missing Medici diary and the kidnapping of a beautiful Jewish graduate student surface when art professor Porter Blue takes a sabbatical to Florence, Italy. In 1962, a remarkable discovery is made in the bowels of the Church of Santo Spirito: a box containing four diaries from the hand of Contessina de' Medici, the youngest daughter of Lorenzo de' Medici, one of the most powerful men in Renaissance Italy. Numbered 1, 2, 3 and 5, the story of the missing fourth diary inspires Blue to craft an historical novel around a speculated romance between Contessina and the young Michelangelo. Blue convinces Largo Kopacz, a graduate student and new-found love interest, to join him for the week of spring break. Theo Volmer, charismatic Uffizi director and son of a Nazi SS officer, is known for having returned artworks originally stolen by his father to their rightful owners. During a dinner party at Volmer's home, Largo stumbles upon a private gallery and a painting remarkably like one stolen from her own great-grandparents. Before Blue and Largo can act upon the discovery, Largo is kidnapped from a tour bus, Blue seeks help from a Scotland Yard agent in Florence investigating an art forgery and Volmer's home goes up in flames.
Noyes Capehart was born and raised near Nashville,Tennessee. He attended college at the University of the South (Sewanee), before transferring to Auburn University where he received a BA degree in art. From 1958 through 1960, he worked as a guard and night watchman at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. He was called in late 1960 to return to Auburn and fill in for an ailing faculty member. Realizing a love for teaching, he went to the University of Missouri in 1963 for his master's degree in printmaking. He taught at the University of Missouri, the University of Mississippi and at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina until his retirement in 1997; a combined teaching career of nearly thirty-five years. Noyes Capehart has been exhibiting professionally in adjudicated exhibitions and regional and national levels since 1958, including exhibitions at The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Smithsonian Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, The North Carolina Museum of Art and The Mint Museum of Art. His artwork has appeared in the North Carolina Literary Review and in Symposium: A Quarterly Journal in Modern Literatures. In 2006, Dancingfish Press published The Private Diary of Noyes Capehart, a fifty-year overview of the artist's visual career. That same year, North Carolina's Our State magazine did a feature article on Noyes' Private Diary pictures and UNC-TV followed with an Emmy-award winning program on his uniquely visual and literary approach to picture making. Noyes Capehart has been writing since the late 1960's. In addition to Devil's Mark, Noyes has written three other full length novels and numerous short stories. Noyes Capehart is married to Suzie Connor and between them they have six children and eleven grand-children. Noyes and Suzie reside in Boone, North Carolina.

Brussels, 26 February 2009
Benita Ferrero-Waldner, Commissioner for External Relations and the European Neighbourhood Policy, said: "I am pleased to be actively involved in these projects as they are a valuable contribution to helping the Moldovan authorities in accomplishing successful elections. This is another tangible sign of our keen interest in intensifying our relationship with the Republic of Moldova. I also want to encourage the Moldovan authorities to make all necessary efforts to strengthen the rule of law and to implement their commitments on human rights and fundamental freedoms. This is particularly relevant for the ongoing electoral process, which I trust will be conducted in full compliance with international standards."
The Commission and the United Nations Development Programme have just signed a € 2 million grant contract to implement the "Electoral Support to the Republic of Moldova" project under the "Instrument for Stability". This project is designed to strengthen the institutional and functional capacities of the Central Electoral Commission, increase the efficiency of electoral information management, raise participation of citizens residing abroad, improve the transparency of the electoral processes by better use of the media and finally enhance electoral legislation and judicial issues.
In addition, with the support of around €0.5 million from the "European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights" (EIDHR) several civil society organisations are working to promote citizens' participation in the electoral process, encourage dialogue between the government and civil society, educate and mobilise voters to participate in monitoring activities of media and electoral candidates, and increase the capacity of the media to organise pluralistic debates with political candidates.
Furthermore, the Joint Programme "Support to free and fair elections" of the European Commission and the Council of Europe to which the Commission contributes €0.5 million, assists the country (as well as other countries in the EU's Eastern Neighbourhood region) in conducting elections in line with democratic standards, in particular through improved electoral legislation and practice.

Preaching from the Soul
Insistent Observations on the Sacred Art
By J. Ellsworth Kalas

Take the Bible Seriously
No better thing can happen to our preaching than having a passionate love affair with the Bible. This isn't easy for us preachers. We suffer the burden of familiarity, and in most cases (as a seminary professor, I hate to say it), we also suffer the burden of an education. We become too bookish about the Book, so that we see it as a source of sermons and studies, and we are more taken with problems of scholarship than with the wonders of its continuing power. As for familiarity, I suspect that the Hollywood divorce rate indicates that even glamour becomes commonplace unless it is sustained by uncommon love. We need a grand love for the Bible because it is our basic document. It is not only the particular source of our preaching, but it is also the book that so uniquely understands us, that we gain our understanding of life through it.
But of course we twenty-first century preachers have special problems with the Bible. We may sometimes wish that we could read it as if there had never been the explosion of critical studies, but the fact is, we have lost our innocence. Even those who scorn critical studies acknowledge the importance of these studies by their attacks on them. The effective preacher confronts the issues of biblical criticism like a lover who has seen his romance almost scuttled, but who now loves more knowingly and earnestly than before the period of trauma.
One way or another, the preacher must have a unique relationship with the Bible. For me, it is the inspired Word of God. I see it as unlike any other book, in its origin and in its authority. I meet professional colleagues who think my position is a bit strong, but who honor the Bible as the document of the church and its traditions. Still others, it seems to me, haven't necessarily thought through a personal theology of the Scriptures, but they cherish the Bible for what it has meant in their own life and experience. Although I would rather preachers see the Bible as I do, I want them to enter the study and the pulpit with any devotion to the Book that will drive them to search it, clarify it, and deliver it with conviction. To that end, I suggest some practical rules, some of them quite obvious, but not always faithfully practiced.
1. Believe that the Bible is for every reader, now. Protestant clergy love to talk about the priesthood of all believers, and about the open Bible for all God's people, but we tend to take a professional proprietary interest in it. Intentionally or not, we sometimes give people the feeling that they can never hope to understand the Scriptures as well as we do. It's obviously true that we have an academic edge, since we've specialized in biblical studies. It's also quite possible that at an experiential level, the person in the pew may relate to the Bible better than we do. Our professionalism may get in the way. So while we ought to employ everything we know about Greek, Hebrew, ancient history, and Middle Eastern geography, we want to be very careful not to give people the feeling that without such knowledge their own reading is inadequate. Our preaching receives a high compliment when it inspires people to read the Bible for themselves, both studiously and devotionally. Approach preaching with the conviction that the Bible is God's gift to our human race, and that it is, therefore, intended to be understood.
The "now" in this first suggestion is especially significant. I venture that every effective preacher has tried, as it is so often said, to have one foot in the Bible and one foot in the present. If any particular individual ought to have a feeling for the times in which we live, it should be the preacher—particularly the parish pastor. More than the historian, more than the newscaster, more than the political pundit or the social philosopher, the preacher ought to have a feeling for his or her time. We must somehow know the spirit of the age, yet avoid being either captured by it, or cheaply exploiting it.
2. Know the Bible's every jot and tittle, but read it as if you had never seen it before. I suppose this rule seems quite unrealistic. I confess that I'm giving the counsel of perfection, but I'm confident it is within our reach. This is the attitude of love; but those who have loved deeply know that even the best love has to be nurtured. I've read through the Bible in its entirety several dozen times, and expect to do so again next year. I've been helped to see it anew by using different translations from time to time. I've also been helped by seeing the Bible through the eyes of novelists and poets, as in Congregation: Contemporary Writers Read the Jewish Bible, edited by David Rosenberg, and its New Testament counterpart, Incarnation, edited by Alfred Corn. Indeed, whenever I see Scripture approached by a serious novelist or poet, I look with interest. I don't need to agree with their theology, but I do need the stimulus of their thinking.
I remind myself of the ancient rabbis who insisted that the Torah has seventy faces. I find new wonders as I seek with hunger and openness. I remember, too, John Robinson, pastor to the Plymouth Pilgrims, who assured his flock when they left for the New World that there was still more light to break forth from God's holy Word. If there is any limitation to the inspiration and insight to be found in the Scriptures, it is the limitation we bring by our low expectations. Some years ago a reviewer commented that most productions of plays by J. M. Synge, the brilliant Irish playwright, were "marred by the arid hand of the academicians, who revere a play's reputation as a 'classic' without ever understanding the vital impulse that inspired it." Those of us who teach and preach the Bible may well be guilty of the same marring of the Scriptures, which brings us to the next rule.
3. Be properly skeptical of yourself . Each of us approaches the Bible with our own prejudices. William Blake put the matter humorously, as he noted our inclination to see Christ's image in our own image: "Thine has a great hook nose like thine / Mine has a snub nose like to mine." I take the Scriptures with all seriousness, but I try to be much less serious about my own understanding and interpretation of Scripture. The pastor ought always to preach out of his or her heart; one's preaching ought surely to have soul. But we preachers must also remember that we can too easily fixate on themes that reflect either our prejudices or our struggles, and that we need therefore to come under the discipline of the teachings of the church, perhaps the structures of the lectionary, and the guidance of some insightful, honest friend.
4. Don't be afraid to wrestle with the Scriptures. Frederick Buechner is an ordained Presbyterian minister who has devoted most of his ministry to writing. As a result, he has sat in the pew more frequently than do most of us preachers. He has found it an unsettling experience. He says of the preachers he has heard, "There is precious little in most of their preaching to suggest that they have rejoiced and suffered with the rest of mankind"; "they tend to become professionals who have mastered all the techniques of institutional religion and who speak on religious matters with what often seems a maximum of authority and a minimum of vital personal involvement." But Buechner gratefully recalls sermons by "a man named Robert MacFarlane." Those sermons, he said, "had spaces in them, spaces of silence as if he needed those spaces to find deep within himself what he was going to say next, as if he was giving the rest of us space to think for a moment about what he had just been trying to say last." Buechner feels confident that the man was laying out "a faith that, even as he spoke it, he was drawing out of the raw stuff of his own life."
Sermons like MacFarlane's have soul. They are not just scholarly investigations or interesting topics to be explored, but a personal wrestling. Still more, it is not only that the preacher is wrestling with this text because of what the text means in his or her life, but that, as a pastor, there is a wrestling on behalf of all the people. I no longer have the pastoral role, but on those frequent weekends when I am preaching somewhere around the country, I seek to have a pastoral heart. This is a heart that recognizes that everyone is compelled to do a fair share of wrestling—some occasionally, and some through all of their struggling lives. It is part of the preacher's calling to wrestle vicariously on behalf of the people who will eventually hear the Word. Because we spiritually wrestle for others, we examine the Scriptures, then preach them, in a manner that is both dreadfully and wonderfully affirming of existence.
5. Practice psychological exegesis. I'm afraid of this term being misunderstood. By "psychological exegesis," I'm simply urging that, in our reading of the Bible, we seek to get inside the characters. Perhaps this desire is behind my enthusiasm for the insights on Scripture that come from poets, novelists, and playwrights. Paddy Chayefsky gave me insights on Gideon, in his play of the same name, that I didn't find in commentaries, because Chayefsky had looked into Gideon's soul.
I remember, in a sermon about the man whose son would often convulse and foam at the mouth (Luke 9:37-43), a student who gave us a moment to feel the pain of the father, and as he did we were able to feel the father's poignant sorrow and despair as he appealed to Jesus to do for his boy what the disciples had proved unable to do. There were no histrionics; such pain needs no embellishment. The student simply took us inside the father's heart for a moment, and helped the story engage us. In feeling the father's exquisite pain, I entered a whole new dimension in the story of the boy's healing.
The Bible is wonderfully candid about the lives of its characters. It never gives us plaster of paris saints. We need to follow the Bible's lead in examining the fears, frustrations, joys, and displeasures of its personalities. The book of Psalms, by itself, has enough varieties of emotions to occupy a stable of soap opera writers for a decade. Paul's epistles are packed full of doctrine, but Paul's emotions are woven in, through, and around the doctrine. He reasoned with his congregations, but usually with a hot pen; for him, doctrine was always blood and sinew.
I realize that a lazy preacher might take my words as license to push aside research and engage instead in undisciplined imagining. I'm not urging that we fill our sermons with what Paul, David, or Peter "must have felt"; a little of that fare goes a long way. But we do well to invest our souls in the souls of the biblical writers and characters in the hope that we may get new light for the text itself. Scripture passages are rarely, if ever, cold statements of fact; they are stories and convictions born in experience.
Perhaps we sometimes miss the heartbeat of the biblical personalities because we have not ourselves experienced as much as we should of our faith or of life. George Macdonald, the preacher turned novelist, portrays a cleric in his novel Sir Gibbie, who "knew nothing whatever but by hearsay," because he "had not in himself experienced one of the joys or one of the horrors he endeavored to embody." Obviously we preachers can't be expected to encounter all the vicissitudes and glories of life, nor can we travel each pilgrim pathway. It may not be inappropriate to pray for a large share of empathy, for life in general and for our reading of the Scriptures in particular. I doubt that any calling requires a broader and deeper store of empathy, or more ability to communicate it.
Sometimes, as I stand with one foot in the religiously conservative world and the other in the liberal, I get the feeling that some preachers don't really like the Bible that much. On the one hand, there are those clergy who are more often embarrassed by the Bible than inspired by it, because they have become more critic than expositor. On the other hand, I see and hear sermons by some who speak vigorously about their love of the Bible but whose sermons show more acquaintance with books of illustrations than with the Book being expounded.
Margaret M. Mitchell noted in Harvard's 2001 Dudleian Lectures that the fourth-century preacher Chrysostom interpreted Paul not as "a depersonalized, neutral endeavor in which a person (the reader) meets an object (a written text), but rather [as] a conversation among friends." And there was a reason for this. "Chrysostom claimed that he understood Paul so well not because of his own mental acuity, or even his steadfast faith, but because he loved Paul so much."
I won't claim that it was this that made John of Antioch "the Golden-Mouthed" (Chrysostom), but I'm sure it helped. It's hard to be eloquent about things that don't strongly grip us. With that in mind, I urge you: embrace these Bible personalities, warts and all! Lay passionate claim to Cain and Rahab, to Bartimaeus and Nicodemus. They are our spiritual kin, sometimes damned and sometimes holy, and we will understand the Scriptures and ourselves better if we claim this pantheon of belief and unbelief as our own.
CHAPTER 2The Sacred Triangle
I dare to venture this chapter only because when I look at the nonfiction best-seller lists now and then, I am often astonished, and sometimes depressed, to see that the books on the list are so often recitations of what almost everyone already knows. This is true whether the field is business, self-help, or popular religion. We seem fascinated by the obvious, if only the outer garments are in some way new, or perhaps bizarre. So it is that I set out to tell you what, by common sense, you already know.
A good sermon involves a sacred triangle, three great love affairs. They ought to be coexisting and mutually supporting affairs, but like any love affairs they easily become competitive, and easily intrude on one another's territory. That's why I'll present them as a triangle rather than as a trinity. If we are to preach well, all of these love affairs should possess us. They should possess us as we prepare the sermon, as we preach it, and as we live afterward with its fallout.
I hate to number these love affairs, lest I seem to give them an order of preference, and thus to endorse the very danger that frightens me, namely that I make these several loves competitive. So let me say from the outset that, for matters of preaching, one is not more important than the others.
Fall in Love with the Sermon You Are Presenting
This is different from what I said in chapter 1: it isn't a matter of being in love with the Bible in general, or its characters, or its truths. As a matter of pragmatic fact, our general love is likely to be an enemy to our love for the particular sermon that we're preaching, or preparing to preach, on this particular occasion. All of us preachers know that at some point during preparation for the sermon immediately before us, we become fascinated with the possibility of a sermon we will preach later. Sometimes, in fact, we'll even be fascinated with a past sermon. This is a devilish distraction, and the preacher must resist it. Mind you, it may be rooted in truth, because the sermon before us may indeed be tedious. But the secret, of course, is to remedy these faults rather than to yearn for a better day to come or to mourn a better day past. And most of the time it isn't that this sermon is so bad; it's just that we've hit a hard place in the process of preparation.
The issue is still more crucial as we approach the pulpit. At times of a struggling psyche— an experience that comes occasionally to every preacher and that is a constant companion to some—we are tempted to look past this sermon to some future Sunday. Many a Top 25 college football team has lost its rating by looking ahead two weeks to the big game while stumbling into Backwoods State Community College. There is only one Sunday that matters—this one— and only one sermon to be preached—this one. So fall in love with this sermon.
The late Norman Vincent Peale always thought of his father, a small-town Methodist preacher, as an extraordinary man and minister. He recalls how he loved to hear his father preach: "He was thrilling because he was himself always thrilled." We're not likely to thrill others with a sermon unless we are ourselves first thrilled with it.

It was a serious matter, therefore, to allow many such men in the city, when she lacked not a few soldiers. So they chose Agesilaüs as a law-giver for the occasion. And he, without adding to or subtracting from or changing the laws in any way, came into the assembly of the Lacedaemonians and said that the laws must be allowed to sleep for that day, but from that day on must be in sovereign force. By this means he at once saved the laws for the city and the men from infamy.

With the World Bank having recently increased its 2014 global growth outlook to 3.2% year-on-year from a previous projection of 3%, and the Federal Reserve trimming by USD 10 billion its asset purchases to USD 65 billion per month, citing a better economic climate in the US, bullish expectations for steelmakers would make sense. Nevertheless, headwinds such as still-low selling prices or subpar economic growth in the euro area raise doubts among investors. So which company would be the best fit for such an environment?
An option could be United States Steel Corp. (NYSE:X), a steel giant with a long-held dominance in the American market, or, on the opposite end, Steel Dynamics Inc. (NASDAQ:STLD), relative newcomer with more modern production techniques and high margins. For those investors like me who have their eyes set on longer-term investments, I would instead suggest Nucor Corp. (NYSE:NUE). Let's see why.
