Is Jason Kidd Actually a Good NBA Coach?January 29, 2014
For any rookie in any profession, there are learning curves and growing pains to overcome on the journey from basic competency to excellence. Patience and persistence, from both the novice in question and those around him/her, are paramount to any effort to push through adversity and find success on the other side.
Jason Kidd's case is no different.
After slumping to an embarrassing 10-21 start, with 12 of those losses by double digits, Kidd's Brooklyn Nets have bounced back to win 10 of their 12 games since the calendar turned to 2014.
(And Kidd did away with wearing neckties.)
It's not as though they've been beating up on the Little Sisters of the Poor, either. That span has seen Brooklyn bank impressive victories over the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Golden State Warriors, the Miami Heat, the Dallas Mavericks and the Atlanta Hawks (twice). If not for a pair of losses to the Atlantic Division-leading Toronto Raptors—one close and one not-so close—the Nets would be undefeated in the new year.
As a result, no longer is it so easy for pundits to proclaim Kidd to be "the worst coach in the NBA," as David Thorpe of ESPN said back in November. Kidd still has a long way to go before he can live up to any lofty comparisons from his players (per Nets Daily) to the likes of Gregg Popovich, though the first-year head coach is starting to show the sort of promise and perspicacity that led Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov and general manager Billy King to cast their lot with him this past summer.
The Tactician Within
Brooklyn's recent success has highlighted Kidd's inherent ingenuity.
"He's one of the unique guys in the history of the game," Rick Carlisle, who coached Kidd with the Dallas Mavericks, recently told Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News. "If you try to come up with names of guys that would find the most resourceful ways to help win, you're not going to find anybody who was more creative than him and who had the fire burning the way Jason Kidd did."
Those qualities have shone through in the way Kidd has handled his roster in the wake of season-ending and nagging injuries to Brook Lopez and Deron Williams, respectively. While those two were sidelined, Kidd stumbled upon a starting five of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson, Shaun Livingston and Alan Anderson that, as noted by Bleacher Report's Jared Dubin, has ranked among the NBA's most effective units since its inception.
This group has been lauded for what some have labeled "small ball," with Garnett sliding up to center in Lopez's place and Pierce taking over at power forward. But to call this lineup "small" is to overlook what makes it so effective.
"We don't look at it as a small lineup," Kidd commented after the Nets' 101-90 win over the Orlando Magic earlier this month (via The Brooklyn Game's Devin Kharpertian). "You have a 6'7" point guard. Our two-guard (6'8" Joe Johnson) is pretty tall. So we look at it the opposite way. Paul and Shaun have that ability to switch, and everyone's helping one another."
The switching has been key to the Nets' success. Every member of that five-man lineup is long, tall and agile enough to swap onto another teammate's assignment as needed. Pierce may not be quick enough to handle smaller guards, but the guy is plenty strong to deter them when necessary. Livingston's length allows him to pester post players, as he does here against the Golden State Warriors' David Lee, when his slight frame can't do the job for long.
Such switching allows the Nets to not only stay with the opposition, but to do so without expending precious energy dealing with picks. "It doesn't take as much energy as fighting over screens," Livingston said, per The Brooklyn Game. "I think that really helps us."
As well it should. Livingston is the only member of Brooklyn's starting five who's yet to hit 30. As for the other four, Anderson is 31, Johnson is 32, and Garnett and Pierce are two of the oldest and most worn-down players in the NBA today.
Not to mention the bench, which, at the moment, features a 29-year-old D-Will with bad ankles, the soon-to-be-33 Andrei Kirilenko, the currently 33 Reggie Evans and a 36-year-old Jason Terry. Those players, along with Mirza Teletovic and Andray Blatche, also bring to the table measures of height and length for their respective positions that allow them to switch seamlessly from action to action on defense.
But the key to it all on that end of the floor is KG. No longer need he spend his waning days chasing smaller, stretchier power forwards around the floor. Instead, Garnett, with Lopez out, has been able to save his energy while focusing on what he does best: protecting the paint and directing his teammates from the back line.
A Victim (and Benefactor) of Circumstance
Clearly, the lion's share of the credit for Brooklyn's turnaround belongs to the players. They're the ones who have taken care of business on the court to put Brooklyn within two-and-a-half games of a top-four seed in the Eastern Conference.
It helps, too, that those players are mostly battle-tested veterans. Having champions like Garnett and Pierce leading the charge can make all the difference, particularly when the team-building process is as choppy as it's been at times in Brooklyn.
"The biggest thing about this turnaround is we never got down on one another," Pierce recently told Tim Bontemps of the New York Post. "We've never had the finger pointing, we've never put the blame on anybody but ourselves. We kept coming to work, kept staying professional because we still believed we'd turn this thing around.
"The thing is: When you believe and you continue to get through the tough patches, it shows how things can kind of turnaround, and that's what you see right now."
And, as it happens, the dark cloud of injury that's hovered over the Barclays Center all season has yielded the rather serendipitous silver lining of the rotation into which the Nets have since stumbled. The absences of Lopez and Williams have allowed Pierce and Garnett to step into more familiar roles as fulcrums on both ends of the floor.
"The difference in the way we're playing is we were thinking secondary as we come in," Garnett relayed to The Post. "Then Brook [gets hurt], Deron's been beat up, and we've had to be primaries now. When you're secondary, which [we were for] the first time in our careers, you take a step back. You're not as forceful … you don't want to step on everybody's toes.
"When you're a primary, plays are being called for you … not only that but you're touching the ball, you're in a rhythm."
A rhythm that, in many ways, still requires no worse than a decent coach to create.
It's all well and good that some strange twists of fortune have allowed the Nets' tremendous talent to excel of late, but capitalizing on happenstance of that nature requires leadership and vision from the bench.
Shaking It Up
To that end, Kidd seems to have found a comfortable rhythm of his own.
His dismissal of assistant coach Lawrence Frank has certainly helped. Kidd demoted Frank, for whom he once played with the New Jersey Nets, in early December, several weeks after a staff meeting that, according to Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, featured the pupil berating his former teacher.
Kidd had originally hired Frank to serve as his chief support through what he likely expected to be a rocky transition. Kidd lobbied for the job in Brooklyn almost immediately after retiring as a player from the New York Knicks. The future Hall of Famer had never coached a game at any level, and he included the retention of an experienced coach like Frank as part of his pitch to the Nets brass.
To hear the players tell it, Kidd wound up using Frank not as a guide, but as a crutch.
"I think since Lawrence as left... he was leaning on (Frank) a lot," Williams told Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News. "So now I think he's coaching the way he wants to and doing things the way he wants to so that's what you're seeing.
"I think you see him putting his footprint on the game a little bit more, especially lately. He's done a great job. He's learning on the job, and we knew that coming in. But he's doing a great job, especially now."
That's a far cry from where Kidd was in mid-November, when an anonymous scout told Bleacher Report's Howard Beck:
He doesn't do anything. He doesn't make calls. John Welch does all the offense. Lawrence does all the defense. … I don't know what Kidd does. I don't think you can grade him and say he's bad. You can give him an incomplete.
Kidd isn't acing his assignment just yet, though at least he's doing enough to earn a grade of some sort. Without Frank, Kidd has had to face the fire of coaching in the NBA on his own. So far, he's responded well, directing his players and commanding their respect as many anticipated he would.
"I knew it was going to take time," Billy King told the media (via Beck) back in November. "But his instincts will take over."
The Road Ahead
If there's any lesson to be learned from Kidd's experience as a head coach thus far, it's that even those who appear to be perfect fits for their respective professions need time to get the hang of things. Kidd's reputation as a consummate "coach on the floor" and his favored status among his peers portended proficiency as a coach, albeit not without first nailing down the fundamentals needed to succeed in his new career.
The only way for Kidd to become "the man" on the sidelines in Brooklyn was not by proxy, with Lawrence Frank doing the heavy lifting, but rather by enduring firsthand the trials and tribulations of a high-profile job, steering the most expensive payroll in the league.
"He's had to go through some early adversity, which has made him grow," Jason Terry, Kidd's teammate-turned-player, told The Daily News.
Kidd's already grown tremendously as a coach since his earliest days, when mid-game phone calls, expensive spills and his team's disjointed struggles made him easy fodder for derision in the New York sports media machine.
It'll probably be years before Kidd can so much as aspire to the heights of the coaching ranks to which Mirza Teletovic ascribed him during an interview with a Bosnian newspaper. But Teletovic's more moderate praise of the coach who's (finally) unleashed his talents on the NBA rings true.
"He's beginning to be a really, really good coach," Teletovic told Stefan Bondy. "I can really feel it."

CADYVILLE - When Kathleen Freeman thinks about her mother, the late Barbara Tobin, one thing comes to mind.
"She was never really crazy about me riding a motorcycle," Freeman said, laughing.
And, even though her mother wasn't sold on the idea, Freeman likes to think she'd be happy with what she and her fellow riding enthusiasts do each year with the Ride to Remember. The annual motorcycle ride - which raises money for the Northeastern New York Alzheimer's Disease Assistance Center - is held in honor of Tobin, who suffered from the degenerative condition until her death in 2005. This year marks the fifth ride in her memory.
"Every year I get a little frazzled about this time," said Freeman. "It's so much work, but the day of the event is the reward. It's worth it seeing how many people support it."
And, support it they do. Hundreds of people show up each year for the event and local businesses step up to the plate time and again with donations for raffles and auctions.
"We got tons of support this year from local businesses. They've just been great," said Freeman.
Kneucraft Fine Jewelry was among the top sponsors for the event, donating $500 worth of merchandise to be given away. It's support like that, said Freeman, that shows people understand the importance of fighting Alzheimer's.
"There are so many benefits going on this time of year, so it's nice to see they still find this is an important event," she said. "Just about everyone you know, knows someone with Alzheimer's or some form of dementia."
That thought was the inspiration for redesigning the Ride to Remember logo this year, adding the words "Someone you know needs a cure." This year, the ride will also offer stickers for riders to wear that read, "I ride for _____," allowing people to fill in the blank with a loved one's name, said Freeman.
"I think my mom would be very happy that our family pulled together to do this," Freeman said of Ride to Remember. "She would be glad we are taking what turned our family upside-down and turning it around to help other families cope with it."
The 5th annual Ride to Remember will be held at American Legion Post 1619, 219 Rand Hill Road, West Plattsburgh, this Saturday, July 10. The event will begin with registration at 9:30 a.m., with the ride to follow at 10:30 a.m.
Following the ride, at approximately 1:30 p.m., the post will host a barbecue, auction and 50/50 drawings. Performances by Angry Neighbors, Bootleg and The Jay Walkin Band will round out the afternoon.
The cost to register for the motorcycle ride is $15 per rider or $25 for a rider and passenger, which includes the price of the barbecue. Those wishing to only enjoy the barbecue will be charged $10 each. The event will be held rain or shine.
Those interested in registering for the ride or in obtaining more information, may contact Freeman at 293-6496. Registration forms are also available at Lake City Choppers, 594 State Route 3; Caron's Cycles, 40 S. Junction Road; and American Legion Post 1619.
Donations for the event are also still being accepted.

Happy Now? is Richard Herring's twelfth stand-up show, and the third I've seen on DVD following last year's Lord Of The Dance Settee and 2014's We're All Going To Die!, and this one sees Rich at a crossroads in his life – after years of hedonistic eternal student lifestyle as he started off in comedy, through to growing up and achieving a level of responsibility where he not only has acquired a 'better half' but he is also now a father.
I have never sired a child, and have no plans to, so outside of my day job I could spend the rest of my time making Mr Herring jealous by playing Addams Family Pinball all the time if I so desired, but for Richard, as he ponders whether this point in his life has made him happy, his musings take in several topics such as, what if – instead of hating or loving it – no-one minded Marmite either way? There's also the Twix dilemma, plus how for those people who are unhappy, the only way is up, a "head in the clouds" massage – which sounded more risque than I understood it (unless I misunderstood it) and on how long it will be before sex robots are available to buy, and can we purchase one that looks like Gemma Chan from Channel 4's Humans?
And in St David's Hall, Cardiff, where Richard Herring plays to his biggest ever audience, he refers to his daughter as "This screaming child of Satan" and questions "I thought my penis was my friend!!!"
Over 103 very enjoyable minutes, I could say that I preferred the previous two shows a bit more than this one, as they felt they had more direction to them – and maybe there were more moments in those which were relevant to me because I don't have kids, but I would still urge all fans of Herring to buy this as it's still fantastic entertainment.
Richard used to have a regular column in the Metro which I loved until it came to an end, recently. Given how much they've cut down certain sections of the paper over the past year or so, including chopping a full TV schedule section down to a Top 10 highlights of the night, and then to a sidebar, a few pages in, I assumed that they'd cut it, themselves. Then I read in his website's blog about how it was his own choice, given some impending lifestyle changes such as moving from London out into the country. Given what a cynical old Hector I am, I would still hedge a bet on the reason being a mixture of the two. And clearly, Metro are very lazy as they haven't updated his page since the end of February!
However, his regular writings have spurred me on to write a few pieces myself as they come to mind, recent ones include the teacher Miss Butt causing a child to giggle uncontrollably, and the fact that some people round my way have clearly managed to source free petrol!
Check out a clip of the show below.
The DVD is presented in 16:9 anamorphic widescreen, as you'd expect, and there's no problems with the picture whatsoever. I'm more used to Blu-rays, so when watching a DVD on a 50″ plasma, the image looks a little soft, but that's no defect with the DVD itself.
Similarly, the audio is in Dolby Digital 2.0 (Dolby Pro Logic) and there's nothing going on in the rear speakers but you don't expect them to be – it's not a special FX film. It's mostly Richard Herring with the mic, and that's all you need.
The extras are as follows – not quite as many as last year's release, but still far more than most DVDs that get released:
- Tour of St David's Hall (37:13): There's a mention of the logo on the screen above Richard having black bars that shouldn't be there. I could tell that's because someone's stretched the logo across it like a windowboxed 16:9 image that's been stretched out. Should be easily sorted out, but the 'tech guy' just zoomed it in rather than corrected the aspect ratio.
- Rich in the audience (2:34): Sometimes, Rich appears in the audience during the show. But how? Find out…
- Laughing baby (1:02): I don't want to give spoilers as to how this plays a part. When you watch the gig, then you'll know.
- Rich ball dog (0:36): Something else that refers to a joke in the show. Again, no spoilers.
- Short films: Two featuring Mr Herring and Rachel Stubbings, with Mosquito (8:48) also featuring Michael Spicer and Alice Lowe (Sightseers), and the second film being While You Were Away (5:53), and in both short movies, the main men featured both have something to confess…
- Made in Cardiff Interview (3:57): A brief interview with Richard Herring and Chris Evans for Made In Cardiff TV.
- First Ever Show/Last Ever Show (1:38:30) and (1:41:16), respectively. This is his Happy Now? show during the run of The 12 Shows Of Herring, where he revisited all 11 of his previous one-man shows ahead of this latest one. The first has a pre-show chat (3:29) and post-show chat (2:56) where he interviews himself, and these are Easter Eggs – click above and below the onscreen description for these.
- Happy Now? Podcasts (16:02): That's the length for Episode 0 of the podcast, all made as he goes on tour, with episodes 1 (27:44) and 2 (21:01) on the disc if you put them in a PC. Not quite sure why they weren't accessible from the regular menu, though.
There are no subtitles, while chapters are very thin on the ground with just two during the main performance. I feel one should normally come every five minutes on average whether a performance or film, but at least they should be placed inbetween routines. The menu is a silent and static affair with links to the show and each of the extras.
Richard Herring: Happy Now? was recorded live at St David's Hall, Cardiff. There's the DVD for £15, or for £17 for also yet a copy of the gig programme, and they're available to buy now from Go Faster Stripe.com
And how many other comedians put so much free content online such as his Youtube channel featuring his Leicester Square Theatre Podcasts and Meaning of Life episodes, and check out more info about him and his work at RichardHerring.com.
You can also book tickets for his latest tour, The Best, where he brings together the best moments from his 12 shows, an idea brought on following his The 12 Shows Of Herring, where he performed all of them over six weekends, and now comes along with a compilation.

HAPPY NATIONAL COTTON CANDY DAY! (And Mutt's Day)
HI! I have been a little slow on updating my blog. Mostly, for two reasons:
1) I plan on updating my website; so, I've been lazy about updating this blog. (My web URL currently redirects to this blogger.)
2) My Instagram automatically posts to my Facebook page which is quite convenient. I have to manually do this – which will be no excuse once I complete item one, above.
Feel free to follow me on Instagram or like my Facebook page (I'm only 9 people away from 100 likes!) I will be making more of an effort to update here, Once I get my new site up, I will be migrating there totally.

and our new water-filter cooler
A while back, we got to thinking that our office operations should reflect the values inherent in the High Line itself, as well as our own staff's personal commitment to environmental conservation. Recently, two larger non-profits built themselves new LEED certified offices (NYC Audubon Society and the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment). We got jealous.
Although we don't have the budget to completely renovate our offices and become LEED certified, we want to make changes over time to become a greener office. There are lots of things that offices can do to make a difference without a complete renovation- be it through energy conservation, employee productivity and wellness, waste reduction, transportation, and in many other areas. We also though it would be interesting to research ways to go green that wouldn't be exceedingly expensive- and keep track of what decision we make, and why.
Here's one great thing we just got installed that actually SAVES us money: a water filter-cooler by Pure Water Technology. It hooks directly into our building's water supply, filters the water, and chills and heats it. We used to have a bottled water cooler, which (like buying personal bottles of water) wastes money and energy, considering how clean and energy efficient our tap water system is here in NYC (see the Earth Policy Institute's research on the bottled water economy). Employee health and wellness is another important component of having a green office, and lots of bacteria and other yucky things can grow in bottle water coolers.
A green solution that's cheap, healthy, and tastes good? Problem solved. But it can't all be this easy- stay tuned for more adventures in Friends of the High Line's green transformation.

Zoe Blair - Business Analyst
When Zoe was a teenager, her dad gave her a book on Perl and a book on MySQL. He told her she could try programming after she finished reading the books and could answer some reading comprehension questions. She read the first page of one of the books and decided nothing could be worth that, and decided to become a chemist instead.
Funny how things sometimes work out: Zoe began developing websites professionally in 2003. In addition to her education in computer studies and her professional experience as a developer, Zoe did her post-graduate studies in library science, which isn't an unusual route to her business analyst role. With her combination of skills, Zoe is uniquely positioned to not only dig into the technical part of her job, but also step back, analyze and build the right structure and plan to create the right solution.

Monopoly StreetsVideo Game - 2010 | Wii.
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
I became really addicted to this game. I had alot of fun playing it.
The graphics and characters are really annoying...I actually liked the Monopoly Wii game better than Monopoly Streets
Played against the computer and found it very frustrating that when I had one whole side owned, every single computer player either went immediately to jail got enough numbers on the dice to by pass 6 properties with hotels. Every single time. Every single computer player. So I quit the game and started a new one. Then found it again quite frustrating that the only property the computer owned, everyone ending getting enough numbers on the dice to land on it...every single time...every single computer player. Because of that it made the game ok. It could be different with more players, but still.

Five things for pharma marketers to know: Monday, September 14, 2015
Novartis's newly approved heart-failure drug, Entresto, costs too much, according to an economic analysis by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review. The price of the drug should be $1,000 less to be cost-effective, given the "small to substantial" net benefit it provides, Modern Healthcare reported.
Shire is considering upping its offer to buy Baxalta, according to The Wall Street Journal. Shire made the all-stock $30.6 billion offer in August. Baxalta, the recent spinoff from Baxter, declined it.
Sanofi said its experimental type-2 diabetes drug, LixiLan, met the target in its second late-stage clinical trial and will likely be ready for submission to the FDA for marketing approval by the end of the year, Reuters reported. The drug is a single injection product that combines Lyxumia and Lantus.
A preferred pharmacy network, which lowered a patient's costs and increased the amount of medication they keep at home, led to better adherence, according to a CVS Health study published in JAMA Internal Medicine. The study, reported by MedPage Today, looked at commonly prescribed drugs like statins, antihypertensives and antidepressants.
A FDA advisory committee voted unanimously in favor of the agency's approving Collegium Pharmaceutical's experimental opioid painkiller, Xtampza, Reuters reported. But last week FDA staff had recommended against approving the drug over concerns for misuse.

|Re: High latency (40ms) and low request rate (10 rps) under windows
|Thu, 27 Oct 2011 07:18:12 GMT
Hi, I do not quite understand why to lose 1 day from your customer data. If you mean by that the time to upgrade your software, I suppose you don't need one day, but maximum few seconds to switch to the new version (e.g., if you use Erlang/OTP, you can just upgrade the software without any need to stop your process). I am sure you know why I said few seconds, so, I won't enter into details here. Nevertheless, you know better your project, so, if you consider batch mode more useful, it's up to you. My point in the previous post was mainly related to "OMG! My database do 10 requests per second (for ex. Postgres do 1000 rps on the same hardware with fsync on) "Forget this, just use BATCH MODE" which I do not understand its message other than mockery when I was trying to give you alternatives. I apologize if I offended you with my suggestions. I will choose more carefully from now on to whom I will answer. Good luck with your projects!

Lux Build Guide by RainRain
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Lux Build
Purchase Order
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello, First guide written, I probably forgot a few things, but hell i just want to get it done.
I'm a long-time Lux player, and to be honest, Nay a single person i'v met has really built survivability on Lux just because she's a long ranged champion, Well i'm here to state that that is not a lone reason enough, and a Lux with high hp is a deadly Lux.
I'll be going over a few things as to why i build everything and anything in this guide!
The cdr states is wrong, Morello's grants 20% cdr, along with your 9% from runes and 5% from runes = 34%, NOT 25%, If you really want the extra 6% (Only 2 seconds on your ultimate), Get blue buff.
Mobafire doesn't add stats from masteries.
Pros / Cons
+ Great range, easy to stay at the edge of combat
+ High damage caster, with very good escape utilities
+ Very quick to move
+ Her whole burst can take a second or two to do
+ Ult cannot be stopped by anything other then death
- No target spells, unfriendly to people with bad placement/aim
- Somewhat Squishy
- Weak spell (W)
- No hard CC
- Her bind does half effect to the 2nd target, giving an advantage by tanking the blow.
Now, i personally use:
MP5 yellows: These heavily helps you early game along with your doran's mp5
CDR Blues: Nice cdr for when you haven't attained your 40% yet, should have about 9 at start.
MPeni reds: Obvious offensive caster reds are obvious.
HP quints: extra survivability early game, Feel free to switch with magic peni.
There are a few, but i personally like Clarity + Clairvoyance.
Clarity: While my build includes much mp5, I like to keep clarity for those cases when you need a burst of mana to get the kill.
Clairvoyance: While many lux's prefer to just guess, I'm a fan of sniping from long range, packing a clairvoyance helps heavily to get a precise shot on where to shoot your ult for that kill on a runner, Or to steal baron at the last second.
Ignite: First blood is always nice, deals some DoT which is very helpful to get that last remnant of hp for bursts when they just don't fully get the job done.
Flash: Lining up your ultimate easier, or just simply escaping (Won't need it as bad, due to your Q being able to snare two people at once, then slowing with E), I'll be using this over clarity, as i know myself flash is better for lux, but i take it anyways considering i can get myself out of bad situations easily.
Not much to say, 9/0/21, I get only one in intelligence since sorcery gives 3%, and the 2% from it is enough to cap out your 40% without wasting skillpoints, Feel free to add 2 in it and change around for that 13% at start however, Or add none at all and use on others due to 3% from runes.
Clair mastery and clar mastery for cdr and being helpful for when you don't need clarity as much, and having a very short CD clairvoyance, just a bit longer then your ult at rank 3 at 40% cdr.
I get good hands over perserverance, due to http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=219077
Alright, here's where i tend to, and you more then likely will aswell, change things up.
First: Dorans ring
I get this for the extra 100hp and mp5 mainly other then AP, as if you want FB you're more then likely going to rely on your partner since you do not have your full burst, However enemies may fall pray to heavy poking from e.
First core: Rod of Ages
This is a big item in your build, It gives you that massive boosts in hp, mana and ap that's just ever so needed to lux, being squishy, slightly mana heavy and her awesome ap ratios, This item adds major survivability early game.
Boots: Ionian
15% cdr is much greater for a spammy ult, then magic peni from sorcs.
Morellos: 20% extra cdr with some nice ap to finish up 40% cdr, having less then a minute cdr for your ult at all levels.
2nd Core: Lich bane: I cannot stress how needed this item is for lux, If you're a lux who does not believe you should get this item, give up on playing her. It meshes with your passive so well, giving you a massive 300 extra damage, along with your ult.
Rabadons: Normally the game ends by now, but get rabadons for a grand total of 700 ap, to become the most deadly beast on the planet, that's very hard to kill.
Situational: If doing well, grab a deathfire for another boost in AP and change your boots to sorcerers, If not grab banshee's veil for survivability and that very nice passive.
Skill Sequence
Whether to get Q or E is situational, If going mid grab Q, if not grab E.
I max Q first for it does more damage, and is your start of the build, Others may argue not to, but if you're good with your skillshots you should rank Q to max first, then E. Otherwise get E max first.
W is always last to rank, grabbing one at 3, since it's not a very good spell (very weak shield, and short lived, but it can still save a life in cases)
Grab R at any rank possible, reasons obvious.
Basic knowledge
Your average combo without sheen or lich's, Q, E, explode e, Autoattack and R.
you can usually get it all done within 2 seconds of bind.
When you're getting chased, and know it, if you think you have a decent chance, go ahead and combo without autoattacks, it SHOULD scare your opponent away, or give you a decent advantage in the fight, If things aren't on your side, Bind them, e the space RIGHT infront of them, and run quickly. If it's any champion with a displacement move (Jax, Kassadin, Shen) Just bind and run.
Lux is a fair champion to fight, very harsh against melees, She's fairly squishy however, but extremely powerful and can kill you in a matter of seconds.
Unlike most think, Magic penitration is not heavily needed on lux, as she focuses those weak over tanky.
