'He's one of a kind': Andersen turning into a playoff bonus for reigning champion Heat

MIAMI – When Chris Andersen does something particularly impressive for the Miami Heat, a heavy metal guitar riff blares through their arena. Some children have shown up for games with replicas of his tattoos drawn upon their bodies. Others have gotten their hair gelled and shaped to match his Mohawk 'do.
His style is unmistakable.
His numbers are pretty eye-catching as well.
With a career that once looked like it would be inevitably cut short by his own mistakes, and in a season that started with him out of the NBA completely, Andersen has emerged into a huge piece of what the Miami Heat hope is a second straight championship puzzle. He's shooting an absurd 83 percent from the floor in these playoffs, including a 7-for-7 effort in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against Indiana, a series that resumes in Miami on Friday night.
"He's perfect," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said.
He was in the opener of this series, anyway. And the Heat — who prevailed 103-102 in overtime, on a buzzer-beating layup by LeBron James — needed every bit of Andersen's 16-point effort, a postseason career-high for him and his highest-scoring game yet in a Miami uniform. The seven makes on seven attempts topped Alonzo Mourning's previous club record for best shooting in a postseason game, one better than his 6-for-6 effort in 2007.
Forgive Andersen, who can usually be found either getting into scrums with opponents or grabbing rebounds that they've unsuccessfully jostled for, if he wasn't impressed. He doesn't care about stats at all, and wasn't even aware that his 29-for-35 shooting so far in these playoffs — mostly dunks and layups — is better than anyone in the history of the league who has attempted at least that many shots in a single postseason.
"Is that what I'm shooting? OK, then," Andersen said. "I don't even think about that. I just basically take what the defense gives me."
He's the prototypical energy-and-effort guy off the bench, which is what Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was convinced his team needed. So he pestered Heat president Pat Riley for years about trying to bring Andersen — who worked out for the club as a non-drafted, non-tattooed free agent a decade or so ago — into the mix.
"He's one of a kind," Heat forward Shane Battier said. "I've never had a teammate like him. But he's a great teammate."
The Heat signed him to a pair of 10-day contracts in January, all the while knowing that he was staying for the duration of the season. And in a season of uncanny marks for the reigning champions, the numbers with Andersen are off the charts.
When he plays, the Heat are 48-4.
When he plays at least 13 minutes, the Heat are 35-1.
When he gets four rebounds or more, the Heat are 28-0.
"Rarely do we let a player like that leave our gym as a nondrafted free agent," Spoelstra said. "But we did, watched him develop and from afar we were fans. Tried to get him two or three years ago, weren't able to and so when the opportunity came available it was really a no-brainer for us."
Spoelstra said the Heat did its "due diligence" when it came to looking at Andersen's past, which included being barred from the NBA for more than two years because of substance-abuse issues.
In Miami, he's become a fan favorite, even though a few months ago he was "huntin' hogs and livin' that country boy life" in Texas and Colorado and not thinking about basketball all that much. And when the Pacers talk about how they believe this Heat team is better than the one that ousted them in the second round a year ago, they're not necessarily speaking about last summer's addition of Ray Allen.
Instead, it's Andersen that has captured Pacers coach Frank Vogel's attention.
"The defense and rebounding is a dramatic difference from what they had in the past two years. It's a dramatic difference," Vogel said. "He's a great screener, he's a great finisher at the rim offensively. He's probably the biggest upgrade or difference between last year's team and this year's team — no disrespect to Ray, who's obviously a Hall of Famer."
Heat center Chris Bosh said Andersen's numbers shouldn't be diminished by the fact that most of his offense comes from close range.
"Finishing is a really underrated part of the game because it's not always easy," Bosh said. "Some you're going to be wide-open, but you still have to be in the right place at the right time."
Makes sense, since Andersen got brought to the right team at the right time, at least in his estimation.
Andersen turns 35 this summer, but clearly has plenty left in his proverbial tank. It's believed that the Heat will try to bring him back next season, and Andersen has said he enjoys playing in Miami. (One look at his starring role in the Heat "Harlem Shake" video that's gotten nearly 45 million YouTube hits shows his comfort level in the locker room, and that was taped just a few weeks after his arrival.)
Any talk about next season — or next month, for that matter — will have to wait.
Andersen has never had as good a shot at winning a championship as he does now, and that's why he's insisting that there's nothing on his mind besides helping the Heat find a way to get past the Pacers and back to the NBA Finals.
"It is incredible," Andersen said of his story, with the twists and turns leading him to where he's at now. "But at the same time, I'm just trying to stay in the moment, keep my focus on what I need to do and where I need to improve. I know I'm destined for more."

What Exercises Can I Do in P90X If I Don't Have a Pull-Up Bar?
Michael Scott began writing professionally in 2011. He is a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor and wrote about the effects of music on exercise for the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association and TexFit. Scott holds a Master of Science in education from Stephen F. Austin State University where he also studied kinesiology and exercise science.
Pull-ups are one of the best exercises you can do to strengthen the muscles of your back. The developer of the DVD workout series known as P90X knows this, and encourages you to install a home pull-up bar to participate in the rigorous workouts.
If a pull-up bar is just not an option, explore alternative exercises that get you the same benefits. Free weights or resistance bands offer alternative ways to work the same muscles you might by using a pull-up bar — including the upper back, rear deltoids, biceps and core.
Read more: What Muscles Are Used During Pull-ups?
Bent-over Rows are a good alternative to the pullup. To perform this exercise, use dumbbells or a barbell.
HOW TO DO IT: After grasping the weights, slightly bend your knees and hinge from your hips while ensuring your back is straight. Go no more than 90 degree to the ground. Let your arms hang down toward the floor. Pull your arms back, allowing your elbows to skim the ribs. Hold this position for one or two counts; focus on pinching your shoulder blades together. Release to complete one rep.
The reverse fly targets the upper back and backs of the shoulders.
HOW TO DO IT: Sit in a chair or on a workout bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Lean forward so that your chest is toward your knees. Keeping your arms straight and your elbows slightly bent, open your arms widely — as if you were going to give someone a hug — and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Slowly lower your arms back down.
Resistance bands may be easier to store at home than free weights. They come in a variety of intensities, choose one that makes 10 to 12 reps feel hard.
HOW TO DO IT: Wrap the band around a heavy stationary object such as the leg of a sturdy table. Grab both handles and sit on the floor with your legs slightly bent and your back straight. Pull your arms in toward your body while keeping your elbows in close to your sides. Pause briefly and then slowly release to complete one rep. Engage your abdominal and lower back muscles in order to keep your back straight, and also to get the same effect you would if you were using a pull-up bar.

During conference play, Salas averaged 19.5 points and 12.3 rebounds per game. Her 329 rebounds on the year are also tied for seventh in the WAC single-season record book.
The senior from Placentia, Calif., also earned WAC Defensive Player of the Year honors and was named to the WAC All-Defensive team, the second season in a row she received All-Defensive team accolades. She was second in the WAC in blocks (1.7) while also ranking second in steals (2.7). Salas also holds the NM State career record for blocks as she currently sits at 148.
"It's very exciting and very humbling," Salas said. "I think it gives us momentum going into the tournament and it's also a testament to my teammates."
Joining Salas on the All-WAC First Team for the second year in a row is guard Gia Pack. The junior guard from Phoenix averaged the fourth most points in the WAC with 15.8, including 16.3 in WAC play, while also averaging 7.0 rebounds per game, good for seventh in the league. She also ranked sixth in assists (3.5), seventh in three-point percentage (.352) and 10th in steals (1.8).
Grad transfer Stabresa McDaniel was named to the WAC All-Newcomer team in her lone season in Las Cruces. McDaniel averaged 9.2 points per game during league play while shooting the second-highest average in the league at .551, which improved to .567 in WAC games. She also recorded two 20-point games during the WAC slate as she dropped 21 against California Baptist on Jan. 3, and 20 versus Chicago State on March 2.
New Mexico State now heads to Las Vegas for the WAC Tournament starting with a quarterfinal matchup on Wednesday at 1 p.m. against Chicago State. That game is set to stream live on ESPN+.

Gold & Thorns | With The Grain
Well hello there all of you wonderful people. The Family is back with a new album with the help of some special guests.
In our family our house is rarely filled with just our small, modest family of seven. We usually have a few people hanging around, so it makes sense that as you read the opinions of our family members you also see other people hanging around in here. This week, the artwork is done by frequent-family-guest Serge "Dr. S" Ruccolo, and features a brand-spanking-new-guest, Megan O'Hora offering her words of wisdom.
Gold and Thorns' EP, With The Grain falls under the "synthwave" category, a combination of both rock and techno. We know that some of the family loves techno, and some love rock and roll, so lets see if this album can bridge the gap!
Listen along on Spotify as you check out what we had to say:
My first thought was that it sounded like you sunk a radio into the creepy cool parts of the ocean, and hit play on your favorite Indie pop station. The sound is both familiar and not to me...I feel like it's right on the edge of my usual music taste, yet with more pop than I'm used to.
All in all I could see it being great to float around to under some purple lights in Williamsburg, or on a run along the Hudson. Nothing to kick off your shoes about but a very nice exposure to something new for me!
I feel like this is following in the footsteps of earlier Minimal Wave / Synthpop bands...? It even felt a bit Shoegaze-y at times, which I am always down for. The opening track, "Gray & Gold" immediately piqued my interest, and the title song "Gold & Thorns" served up some Human League vibes. The rest of the EP, however, felt kinda distorted and lost me a bit. I appreciated the mixed synths and drum machines, and thought the vocals followed the trebly melodies well, but found myself wanting it to be a bit ...clearer and varied. That being said, repetition and distortion is sort of the name of the game in the whole synth world, so who am I to judge. Overall, it was a chill listen and I'd be keen to hear more from him.
Papa Maldjian Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of this type of music so I may not be the best person to pass judgement, but here it goes.
With the Grain was lackluster and underwhelming at best. While its reminiscent of 80's music, its missing the purpose and dynamics that made many of those songs enjoyable.
The flow of the album seemed to lack purpose. All the tracks were just there, not bothering anybody and certainly not impressing anyone. They were afraid to go against the grain, just hanging around in background like music/noise. As such you could take it or leave it. I prefer to leave it
The title track was almost too techno for my taste but then the vocals added the perfect quality to the song. They pulled me in and kept me interested and wanting to hear more.
The next couple of songs continue with that 80's feel, kind of like Simple Minds or a slower Cure song. The vocals on Cannonball were especially soothing, almost like Boy George back in the beginning, before he went crazy. "Gold & Thorns" was my least favorite track. It never really got going and was sort of monotonous.
Overall, a very pleasant group of songs to listen to in my beach chair. I give it a:
Here we go baby, back to the land of the tooting synths. Gosh I was starting to go through withdrawal. Ever since being introduced to acts like Glass Candy I always welcome synth-pop explorations with open arms. On the whole the EP plays well. Looking at it from start to finish, I would say it was better off sticking with the more tame kind of sound we get in the beginning. Towards the end stuff starts to get kind of cluttered and I really couldn't handle it. The vocals, synths, and drums all sound good on their own, and are played with skill, so I don't see the point in burying them in that much distortion. I don't want to sound like I didn't enjoy this album because I really did. A few parts that really struck my fancy were things like the weird "letdown" Radiohead reprise that popped up in the track "Cannonball", the bass line in the same track, and how all the drums on the album felt they were used appropriately.
Keep on keepin' on my man. I'll be looking forward to a full album.
I'm really into the sound this band has going on. These tunes are perfect for chilling, day-dreaming or even a good drive out of the city. The soft vocals mixed with electronic/80s vibes, I dig. It makes for easy listening and feels elevating when you give into it– which is why I think it's good for watching the sky. Overall, I'd say Gold & Thorns is music for dreaming – pop it on, lie on the floor, or in the grass if you're lucky, and watch the sky to this. Clouds or stars – either will be great. "Cannonball" and "Drifting" are the juiciest in my opinion.
This album has an 80's synth vibe to it, like you're floating in a static sea and the sunset's made of neon blues, pinks, and purples and has a slight chromatic aberration. It's a unique sound that's got bits and pieces of different artists here and there, but combined in a pleasant way. It had that tech noise, but it wasn't abrasive about it. The 80's feel is the strongest in Drifting, but the next song "Cannonball" has a definite 2000-10's style to it.
From the first bit of the opening song I expected it to be an instrumental album, so I was pleasantly surprised when the vocals came up. The softness of the faded and slightly echoed voices compliments the synth elements well. The only other synth stuff I've heard with vocals like this I think is Porter Robinson? But this album does it differently, taking an ethereal route rather than a robotic one. Kinda combining the organic with the industrial? I dunno it just works for me. Sometimes it can get a bit too processed, but not enough to detract too much from the quality. It's engaging enough to listen to, but also passive enough to work as music you just put on in the background. Definitely curious to hear more.

What is the very first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word agreements? You probably might think of two individuals or two parties. Agreements are formed when two or more parties agree about the same thing. The agreement could be anything from business down to personal matters.
In this article, we will be defining what a marketing service agreement is. We will also learn about its uses, the information included in it and the elements that makes an agreement valid. We have also provided sample agreement templates that you may view and download for free to serve as your reference and help you understand more about agreements.
What Is a Marketing Services Agreement?
A marketing services agreement is an agreement between two parties wherein one party agrees to do the specific marketing tasks of the other party. Businesses offering to do marketing services for other businesses who lacks people to market their products and services, as well as those business who does not have a marketing team of their own. The marketing services included in the agreement, includes creating an online presence for a particular company, designing marketing and advertising materials, writing marketing plans, building a marketing campaign for a new product, etc.
Marketing services agreements must be created whenever a business transaction is conducted by the company or business. This is to ensure that the entire transaction is discussed thoroughly and all the details are recorded. The record of these details then becomes the basis for the creation of the final agreement document. The final agreement document must be detailed, clear and concise so that it will be considered truly effective and reliable. Of course, nobody wants to be a part of an unreliable and doubtful agreement.
Part of the details recorded in an agreement are the names of the participating parties, namely the service provider and the customer. Aside from identification of the parties, the agreement binds these parties to the provisions or terms an conditions of the agreement. This means that they are obliged to do their share of responsibilities while the agreement is ongoing, as well avoid doing the things that they are limited or not allowed to do. If in case they violate any of the provisions stated in the agreement, they will incur a breach and must take responsibility for their actions by providing the agreed compensation. The compensation paid is calculated based on the cost of the damage brought about by the breach.
The actual date when the actual services will be started, the duration of that particular service, and the exact end date of the agreement.
List of services requested by the client.
The mode of payment, including the amount to be paid, additional fees, payment frequency, etc.
Related and applicable agreement clauses, like confidentiality clause, early termination clause, etc.
Contact details and addresses of both parties.

What Are the Elements That Make Up a Valid Agreement?
An agreement is not valid by default, but it becomes valid only if it contains all of the elements of a valid agreement. Why is there a need for these elements to be present? It is because these elements hep regulate agreements to ensure that every detail of the agreement is with the law and not against the law. Another reason is to prevent instances where one party takes advantage over the other. Fairness is important in an agreement and all parties involved must have equal rights and responsibilities. To be able to further understand what they are, here are the elements of a valid agreement.
The very first step taken in the creation of an agreement is offer and acceptance. This simply refers to the offer made by one party that is accepted by another party which essentially forms the agreement. How else do you think would an agreement be formed? Since we are talking about making an agreement valid, it is a must that the offer and acceptance are also valid. An offer for smuggling and selling drugs that is accepted by another party clearly is not the start of a valid agreement. After the offer gets accepted, the agreement is formed and the discussion for all the other contents and provisions follow. No agreement can be created without this essential element.
What does this mean? Mutual consent means that there should be a meeting of the minds. The participating parties must agree to the same terms and conditions of the agreement at the same time and at the same place. If this element does not exist, then you know well that the agreement cannot be considered valid.
The intention to go to court is a legal obligation that one must accept if they get into an agreement. Joining an agreement with the intention to go to court means that you are serious about you are getting yourself into, which s very important in business and commercial transactions. While the intention to go to court may not be that important in social agreements, it is a necessity when it comes to commercial agreements. Without it, the agreement is cannot be valid.
A consent by one party to join or enter into an agreement takes place when they are not forced to join the agreement, when their is no coercion, when there are no mistakes, when facts are not misrepresented, when the party is not wrongly influenced, if it is not fraud, and when the facts are not mutually mistaken. These are the conditions of a free consent. It simply means that one party should not be forced to join an agreement through any means. They must join through their own free will.
Any party who joins or wishes to join an agreement must be competent to join one. This is one of the requirements to be considered a participant and is essential for any valid agreement. What does it take to be considered a competent party? Anyone who gets involved in a legal agreement must always be of legal age as this gives them authority to make credible decisions on their own without their parent's consent. This also means that they are in the right age and are prepared to make reliable decisions. The next requirement would be having a sound mind. This means that the individual must not have any mental disabilities or disorders that could hinder them from making sound decisions. The last requirement is that the individual must not be disqualified by the law to enter into any agreement.
Anyone who conducts a business and enters into an agreement with an incompetent party or entity will surely be putting themselves into trouble, or worse, legal liabilities. If an individual does not meet the requirements of a competent party, then the agreement they are in is invalid.
Remember that an offer should for an agreement should be one that is not against the law. An example has been cited above that an offer to smuggle and sell drugs that is accepted by another party makes the agreement invalid. Why is this so? It is because smuggling and selling drugs is against the law or is unlawful. In order for an agreement to be valid, the object in the agreement must be lawful. Being lawful means that the agreement must not be fraudulent, it must not be immoral, it must not not have any legal flaws.
When a party gives something to another party in exchange of something with the same value or importance, then this is what is called legal consideration. Legal consideration means getting something in return. If only one party gives and the other party just receives without giving back, then it is already taken as a gift and an agreement will cease to exist or will be invalid.
Different countries have their own list of agreements that have been declared void. If you enter into an agreement which has been declared void by the country where you had the agreement done, then there s no way for the agreement to become valid. These agreements include those that limit certain forms of trade and if the agreement is not in the public's interest.
The promises or provisions in an agreement should be those that can be performed. Promises or provisions in an agreement that are impossible to do or perform makes the agreement valid. This is regardless of both parties know of this, or if only one party knows about it.
Nobody wants a vague and unclear agreement, that is because those things makes an agreement invalid. A valid agreement must be clear and concise, must be certain about what it exactly wants. The aim of an agreement should be to make things an understandable for the parties involved and not create confusion or uncertainty.
There are mainly two types of agreement and they are verbal agreements and written agreements. Verbal agreements are mostly used in social transactions that are not legally binding. Written agreements are used when there is a need to record and document one's promises to do something as a form of consent and proof. Both agreements can be valid depending on certain requirements. If there are statutory requirements for an agreement to be put in writing, instead of having a verbal one, then this must be followed. If the law requires the agreement to be registered and witnessed, then this must be done. If not, then it will not be enforceable and will be deemed invalid.
Be sure to be familiar with these elements as they can help you identify any faults in an agreement that may cause it to become invalid and prevent yourself from getting involved in legal problems brought about by an invalid agreement. You can practice identifying these elements on sample templates that you can download online.

Q: MERGE a subset of the target table I am trying to use a MERGE statement to insert or delete rows from a table, but I only want to act on a subset of those rows. The documentation for MERGE has a pretty strongly worded warning:

It is important to specify only the columns from the target table that are used for matching purposes. That is, specify columns from the target table that are compared to the corresponding column of the source table. Do not attempt to improve query performance by filtering out rows in the target table in the ON clause, such as by specifying AND NOT target_table.column_x = value. Doing so may return unexpected and incorrect results.

but this is exactly what it appears I have to do to make my MERGE work.
The data I have is a standard many-to-many join table of items to categories (e.g. which items are included in which categories) like so:
CategoryId   ItemId
==========   ======
1            1
1            2
1            3
2            1
2            3
3            5
3            6
4            5

What I need to do is to effectively replace all rows in a specific category with a new list of items. My initial attempt to do this looks like this:
MERGE INTO CategoryItem AS TARGET
USING (
  SELECT ItemId FROM SomeExternalDataSource WHERE CategoryId = 2
) AS SOURCE
ON SOURCE.ItemId = TARGET.ItemId AND TARGET.CategoryId = 2
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN
    INSERT ( CategoryId, ItemId )
    VALUES ( 2, ItemId )
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE AND TARGET.CategoryId = 2 THEN
    DELETE ;

This appears to be working in my tests, but I am doing exactly what MSDN explicitly warns me not to do. This makes me concerned that I will run into unexpected problems later on, but I cannot see any other way to make my MERGE only affect rows with the specific field value (CategoryId = 2) and ignore rows from other categories.
Is there a "more correct" way to achieve this same result? And what are the "unexpected or incorrect results" that MSDN is warning me about?

A: The MERGE statement has a complex syntax and an even more complex implementation, but essentially the idea is to join two tables, filter down to rows that need to be changed (inserted, updated, or deleted), and then to perform the requested changes. Given the following sample data:
DECLARE @CategoryItem AS TABLE
(
    CategoryId  integer NOT NULL,
    ItemId      integer NOT NULL,

    PRIMARY KEY (CategoryId, ItemId),
    UNIQUE (ItemId, CategoryId)
);

DECLARE @DataSource AS TABLE
(
    CategoryId  integer NOT NULL,
    ItemId      integer NOT NULL

    PRIMARY KEY (CategoryId, ItemId)
);

INSERT @CategoryItem
    (CategoryId, ItemId)
VALUES
    (1, 1),
    (1, 2),
    (1, 3),
    (2, 1),
    (2, 3),
    (3, 5),
    (3, 6),
    (4, 5);

INSERT @DataSource
    (CategoryId, ItemId)
VALUES
    (2, 2);

Target
╔════════════╦════════╗
║ CategoryId ║ ItemId ║
╠════════════╬════════╣
║          1 ║      1 ║
║          2 ║      1 ║
║          1 ║      2 ║
║          1 ║      3 ║
║          2 ║      3 ║
║          3 ║      5 ║
║          4 ║      5 ║
║          3 ║      6 ║
╚════════════╩════════╝

Source
╔════════════╦════════╗
║ CategoryId ║ ItemId ║
╠════════════╬════════╣
║          2 ║      2 ║
╚════════════╩════════╝

The desired outcome is to replace data in the target with data from the source, but only for CategoryId = 2. Following the description of MERGE given above, we should write a query that joins the source and target on the keys only, and filter rows only in the WHEN clauses:
MERGE INTO @CategoryItem AS TARGET
USING @DataSource AS SOURCE ON
    SOURCE.ItemId = TARGET.ItemId
    AND SOURCE.CategoryId = TARGET.CategoryId
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE
    AND TARGET.CategoryId = 2
    THEN DELETE
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET
    AND SOURCE.CategoryId = 2
    THEN INSERT (CategoryId, ItemId)
        VALUES (CategoryId, ItemId)
OUTPUT
    $ACTION,
    ISNULL(INSERTED.CategoryId, DELETED.CategoryId) AS CategoryId,
    ISNULL(INSERTED.ItemId, DELETED.ItemId) AS ItemId
;

This gives the following results:
╔═════════╦════════════╦════════╗
║ $ACTION ║ CategoryId ║ ItemId ║
╠═════════╬════════════╬════════╣
║ DELETE  ║          2 ║      1 ║
║ INSERT  ║          2 ║      2 ║
║ DELETE  ║          2 ║      3 ║
╚═════════╩════════════╩════════╝
╔════════════╦════════╗
║ CategoryId ║ ItemId ║
╠════════════╬════════╣
║          1 ║      1 ║
║          1 ║      2 ║
║          1 ║      3 ║
║          2 ║      2 ║
║          3 ║      5 ║
║          3 ║      6 ║
║          4 ║      5 ║
╚════════════╩════════╝

The execution plan is:

Notice both tables are scanned fully. We might think this inefficient, because only rows where CategoryId = 2 will be affected in the target table. This is where the warnings in Books Online come in. One misguided attempt to optimize to touch only necessary rows in the target is:
MERGE INTO @CategoryItem AS TARGET
USING
(
    SELECT CategoryId, ItemId
    FROM @DataSource AS ds
    WHERE CategoryId = 2
) AS SOURCE ON
    SOURCE.ItemId = TARGET.ItemId
    AND TARGET.CategoryId = 2
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN
    INSERT (CategoryId, ItemId)
    VALUES (CategoryId, ItemId)
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE THEN
    DELETE
OUTPUT
    $ACTION,
    ISNULL(INSERTED.CategoryId, DELETED.CategoryId) AS CategoryId,
    ISNULL(INSERTED.ItemId, DELETED.ItemId) AS ItemId
;

The logic in the ON clause is applied as part of the join. In this case, the join is a full outer join (see this Books Online entry for why). Applying the check for category 2 on the target rows as part of an outer join ultimately results in rows with a different value being deleted (because they do not match the source):
╔═════════╦════════════╦════════╗
║ $ACTION ║ CategoryId ║ ItemId ║
╠═════════╬════════════╬════════╣
║ DELETE  ║          1 ║      1 ║
║ DELETE  ║          1 ║      2 ║
║ DELETE  ║          1 ║      3 ║
║ DELETE  ║          2 ║      1 ║
║ INSERT  ║          2 ║      2 ║
║ DELETE  ║          2 ║      3 ║
║ DELETE  ║          3 ║      5 ║
║ DELETE  ║          3 ║      6 ║
║ DELETE  ║          4 ║      5 ║
╚═════════╩════════════╩════════╝

╔════════════╦════════╗
║ CategoryId ║ ItemId ║
╠════════════╬════════╣
║          2 ║      2 ║
╚════════════╩════════╝

The root cause is the same reason predicates behave differently in an outer join ON clause than they do if specified in the WHERE clause. The MERGE syntax (and the join implementation depending on the clauses specified) just make it harder to see that this is so.
The guidance in Books Online (expanded in the Optimizing Performance entry) offers guidance that will ensure the correct semantic is expressed using MERGE syntax, without the user necessarily having to understand all the implementation details, or account for the ways in which the optimizer might legitimately rearrange things for execution efficiency reasons.
The documentation offers three potential ways to implement early filtering:
Specifying a filtering condition in the WHEN clause guarantees correct results, but may mean that more rows are read and processed from the source and target tables than is strictly necessary (as seen in the first example).
Updating through a view that contains the filtering condition also guarantees correct results (since changed rows must be accessible for update through the view) but this does require a dedicated view, and one that follows the odd conditions for updating views.
Using a common table expression carries similar risks to adding predicates to the ON clause, but for slightly different reasons. In many cases it will be safe, but it requires expert analysis of the execution plan to confirm this (and extensive practical testing). For example:
WITH TARGET AS
(
    SELECT *
    FROM @CategoryItem
    WHERE CategoryId = 2
)
MERGE INTO TARGET
USING
(
    SELECT CategoryId, ItemId
    FROM @DataSource
    WHERE CategoryId = 2
) AS SOURCE ON
    SOURCE.ItemId = TARGET.ItemId
    AND SOURCE.CategoryId = TARGET.CategoryId
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN
    INSERT (CategoryId, ItemId)
    VALUES (CategoryId, ItemId)
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE THEN
    DELETE
OUTPUT
    $ACTION,
    ISNULL(INSERTED.CategoryId, DELETED.CategoryId) AS CategoryId,
    ISNULL(INSERTED.ItemId, DELETED.ItemId) AS ItemId
;

This produces correct results (not repeated) with a more optimal plan:

The plan only reads rows for category 2 from the target table. This might be an important performance consideration if the target table is large, but it is all too easy to get this wrong using MERGE syntax.
Sometimes, it is easier to write the MERGE as separate DML operations. This approach can even perform better than a single MERGE, a fact which often surprises people.
DELETE ci
FROM @CategoryItem AS ci
WHERE ci.CategoryId = 2
AND NOT EXISTS
(
    SELECT 1
    FROM @DataSource AS ds
    WHERE
        ds.ItemId = ci.ItemId
        AND ds.CategoryId = ci.CategoryId
);

INSERT @CategoryItem
SELECT
    ds.CategoryId,
    ds.ItemId
FROM @DataSource AS ds
WHERE
    ds.CategoryId = 2;

Piero Ferrari may come from a car background, but he also has a passion for boats.

The Riva 50m, due to be delivered in March 2019.
For a man whose whole life is all about speed, Piero Ferrari knows how to take things slow. He speaks softly, at a calm, unhurried pace as he lounges, in a perfectly tailored Italian suit, in the saloon of the stylish new Riva 110' Dolcevita at the Monaco Yacht Show.
It's a fitting place to meet, as his ties to the Ferretti Group, Riva's parent company, run deep. Not only does Ferrari own a Riva Bahamas runabout and a Ferretti Custom Line Navetta 37 motor yacht, but he holds a 13.2 per cent stake in the Italian yacht builder, sits on the board, chairs its product development committee and is the vice-president of another company in the group, custom superyacht builder CRN. It is larger than the 10 per cent share he owns in the legendary car manufacturer with which he shares his name, and where he still serves as vice-chairman.
Though it's the height of the Monaco show, Ferrari insists he's merely here "for a vacation to see some boats, maybe have a few meetings, and then disappear into my home in Monaco". His main residence is in Modena, Italy, near Maranello, home to the Ferrari headquarters.
The second and only living son of Enzo Ferrari, Piero was born in 1945, just two years before the very first Ferrari car, the 125 S, was introduced. He grew up with the company and watched as his father developed it into a true automotive empire.
"He never had time for vacations," Ferrari says of his father. On the rare occasions that Enzo did take the family away for a holiday, it was to Rimini on the Adriatic Sea, "because my dad very much loved the seafood there". But on these trips the family merely admired the sea from afar. Enzo never had much interest in yachts. "My dad was a car guy," Ferrari says, smiling.
Race was designed to meet Ferrari's specific needs. "I had in mind to have that size of boat," he explains. "It's a very balanced concept of contemporary design, and it's very functional." He insisted that the yacht have large windows for maximum light and that it cruise comfortably, so a good deal of attention was paid to hull design and stability.
Ferrari has spent most of his time as a yacht owner at the helm, captaining the vessels himself. Now that he has the Navetta 37, he has a captain but he still enjoys spending time on the bridge and poking around in the engine room, fascinated by anything connected to the technology and management of a yacht. If he'd had his way, he would have studied engineering. "I wanted to be an engineer, but my father pushed me to do economics. My mentality is more engineering, and I never actually had a job linked to economics," he says. Though Ferrari didn't initially study engineering, later in life he has been recognised for his work in the field, garnering an honorary degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Naples Federico II in 2004 and another in mechanical engineering from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in 2005.
Piero's first job was working at Ferrari. This was no nepotistic appointment to management; he was put to work in the purchasing department, buying parts for racing cars. He credits this first job with teaching him about the importance of quality in parts and how to negotiate.
Carrying a name like Ferrari might seem a heavy burden, but Piero takes it in his stride – and appreciates the education his unique upbringing has given him. His business ventures have stretched beyond the automotive realm. He was president of Piaggio Aero Industries from 1998 to 2014 and was also a board member and vice-president of Banca Popolare dell'Emilia Romagna for a number of years. Today, along with his roles at Ferrari and Ferretti Group, he serves as chairman of the automotive engineering and manufacturing company HPE COXA.
This isn't the first time that the Riva and Ferrari names have been uttered in the same breath. In 1990, a limited-edition Riva-Ferrari speedboat made waves. Only 30 hulls were built, and Piero still uses his on Lake Garda.
The best part of any of his myriad jobs is when he gets the chance to climb behind the wheel, whether it's to test a new boat or drive a new Ferrari. "It's most fun when they come and ask my opinion about the feeling of a new car – or a new boat. The launch of a new boat is a very special moment." Ferrari admits, however, to no longer attending the launches of his own boats. Once, many years ago, before his days with the Ferretti Group, he attended a launch and "everything on the boat broke!" He's concerned he might be a jinx.
Perhaps he'll reconsider for the launch of his new 50 metre Riva, on which he plans to do more cruising and enjoy the chance to take his otherwise busy life at a relaxed pace.

« Sistersville City Council Me... David Freshwater Named West...»
Heavy Rains Cause Flooding, Cancellations
Wetzel and Tyler County schools dismissed early Monday, Sept. 10 as area residents dealt with five to six inches of rain in a matter of 48 hours. Despite water clearing the roadways and floodwaters receding back into creeks and streams by evening, area residents then had to turn attentions to the Ohio River, which was expected to crest right below flood stage at Hannibal Lock and Dam by Tuesday afternoon.
There were several other cancellations as a result of the threat of river flooding. New Martinsville City Council postponed its regular council meeting. Instead, council members planned to aid residents and area businesses with flood preparation.
For the first time in more than a decade, the West Virginia Oil & Gas Festival had to cancel all of its Sistersville Park-related events. Festival organizer Barbara Vincent said the event hadn't been affected by flooding since 2004.

Bloated streams and clogged ditches make for a messy commute on Next Road in Tyler County.
The Wetzel County Chamber of Commerce's Entrepreneur Pitch was postponed until Sept. 24, due to the threat of river flooding, while Wetzel County Grand Jury was postponed until Sept. 19, due to the same.
Wetzel and Tyler County Schools held classes on a regular schedule to begin Monday; however, Tyler County Schools then announced a dismissal for the elementary schools at 10 a.m., while Tyler Consolidated dismissed at 10:30 a.m. due to ongoing rainfall and subsequent rising waters.
Wetzel County Schools dismissed two hours early.
By 3 p.m. Monday, 562 First Energy customers were still without electricity in Tyler County, while 31 were still without electricity in Wetzel County.
Tyler County Office of Emergency Management Director Tom Cooper said there were no major calls as a result of Monday's flooding. He said the intake on the Sistersville water plant is not working, so town officials are currently providing water customers with water from the tanks. He asked that Sistersville residents conserve water.
Wetzel OEM Director Steven Yoho noted no major issues in Wetzel County. He said there had been no slips or individuals stranded. He said there were a few areas with minor flooding in the roadways from "backed up" culverts.
As to preparations for river flooding, Yoho stated the OEM is in the process of receiving clean-up supplies from the state. He said there are already supplies at the OEM office, and it should take around 72 hours to get what is ordered from the state.

1 I did Tumbleweeds (1999) for fun. I did it because I loved it and I hardly even got paid.
2 New Yorkers are either the nicest or the rudest.
3 I just want people to focus on the performance.
4 My mother and father are still together after forty something years. I lived in one place till I was 6. I lived in another place from when I was 6 till I was 17.
5 But then I got a job selling coffee at the York Theatre, and when I met theatre people, something clicked. I felt comfortable with them; I felt like myself. I decided to go to drama school based just on that feeling. I had never done any acting.
6 I've always thought if you watch the performance and you don't know about the person, then you only see the performance.
7 People are calling a lot, sending scripts my way. Yes, it's wonderful because, let's face it, there aren't many wonderful scripts for women over the age of 10.
8 I do mostly British projects, and for family reasons and life reasons Britain's my home, where I have a lovely garden.
9 When you're a young English person who wants to be an actress and you have dreams, you dream of being Vanessa Redgrave or Judi Dench.
10 When children arrive, or when some crisis occurs, couples don't have the resources to deal with it because they've been so busy getting on with their lives. They haven't learned how to sit down and discuss things.
11 We are a very close family, and I love them very much, but I'm definitely the odd one out. I live a completely different kind of life style. I always was different. I felt like a fish out of water; I really never knew who I was.
12 I have very girly hands and I use them a lot when I talk in a way that I think is very feminine.
13 Put a Post-It note on your mirror that says: 'Someone has to succeed. There's no reason why it shouldn't be me.' Repeat before every audition.
14 It's naive to think there is a woman in the world who isn't brought up to believe that they are waiting for their soul mate. You even see it in Disney.
15 I have become a marketing tool and I feel very uncomfortable with that. There's no space for me to express myself.
16 Yes, I was slightly outside everything when I was growing up. My mother jokes that I was exchanged at birth. She brought us up to have traditional values. She was absolutely not part of the '60s generation.
17 [on the day her second Oscar nomination for Albert Nobbs (2011) was announced] "I just had my beady eyes on the television, and when Glenn Close was announced as well, I was very happy. By the time I had finished my day, I was completely exhausted, so we had a low-key celebration; my husband and I drank Champagne, ate cheesecake, and watched Downton Abbey. It doesn't get better than that."
18 [on being honored with an Oscar nomination for Albert Nobbs (2011)] There were a lot of people who lived like this. One thing you have to remember in England that is different from over here, is that sodomy if you're a guy was illegal. You'd be kicked out of the country. There was nothing against lesbianism because Queen Victoria didn't believe it existed.
19 [on the Academy Awards] The whole thing was just silly. All those awards are a bit silly, aren't they? It's quite funny if you're English, because we take them all with a bucket of salt really; we're always a bit embarrassed to go 'I'd quite like to win that award'. The Americans are very: 'Oh my God! Is this the most exciting day of your life?' I just thought 'no, not really. It's good fun and you get to see everyone on the carpet, but frankly, get a grip!
20 [If someone saw one of your performances in 1,000 years' time, what would it tell them about the year 2007?] That nothing has really changed. People will still love and hurt and yearn.
21 The older you get, the better you get, because you've seen more. You don't necessarily have to go through a lot, but you have to witness it in order to recreate it.
1 Nominated for the 2009 Tony Award for Best Performance for a Leading Actress in a Play for "Mary Stuart".
2 She was awarded the OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2008 Queen's Birthday Honours List for her services to drama.
3 Won Broadway's 1997 Tony Award as Best Actress (Play) for portraying Nora in a revival of Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House."
4 Graduated from Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).
5 Became an Associate Member of Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).
6 She was awarded the 1996 London Critics Circle Theatre Award (Drama Theatre) for Best Actress for her performance in "A Doll's House".
7 She was awarded the 1997 Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Best Actress in a Play, of the 1996 season, for her performance "A Doll's House", at the Playhouse.

'Inequality kills hope': Bill Shorten sets out defining mission if he wins government
By James Massola
July 20, 2017 — 9.08pm
Political Insider: Sign up for our newsletter
Rising inequality is the single biggest threat to Australia's social cohesion and the economy, Bill Shorten says, and tackling it head on will be the "defining mission" of a future Labor government.
In a speech to be delivered Friday that will help define the political battlelines ahead of the next federal election - and which borrows from the populist message of progressive political leaders including Bernie Sanders in the US and Jeremy Corbyn in Britain - Mr Shorten will suggest greater intervention by government may be needed to fix inequality.
The Opposition Leader will tell the Melbourne Institute economic outlook conference that ahead of the next election, which will likely be held in the second half of 2018 or early 2019, Labor is prepared to "go to the too-hard basket in tax reform and re-examine the issues".
"If we're going to fund vital investments for the future and keep the budget strong, we need to look at the old and growing faults in our tax system. The whole picture: revenue and expenditure, including tax subsidies. Including reforms that in the past we might have dismissed as too politically difficult," Mr Shorten will say, according to speech notes.

"I believe Australians are smart enough for that conversation. Indeed, I think people are hungry for something more substantial than the current political fare."
These comments indicate Labor is prepared to announce further major tax policies before the next election that would build on promises to reform negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions.
More broadly, it demonstrates the Opposition Leader is prepared to take political risks to sharpen the contrast between Labor and the Turnbull government, which, in its most recent May budget, tacked back towards the political centre.
Mr Shorten regularly speaks about the need to tackle inequality but this speech arguably represents a step change in his rhetoric.

"Inequality kills hope. Inequality feeds the sense that the deck is stacked against ordinary people, that the fix is in and the deal is done...it fosters a sense of powerlessness that drives people away from the political mainstream," Mr Shorten will say.
The Opposition Leader will argue the Coalition is more interested in arguing over "what Robert Menzies meant in a speech he gave 75 years ago" and meanwhile, Australians are left alone to worry about job security, rising power bills and access to quality health care.
"I didn't run for parliament just to shrug my shoulders and say: 'Oh, the invisible hand will help you, the market will decide.' I believe there are things government can do – and should do," Mr Shorten argues.
A Shorten Labor government, therefore, would likely be more activist and philosophically, in the view of the Labor leader, a laissez faire or 'left alone' approach to the market will no longer suffice in an age of growing discontent with politics and political leaders.
"That's why tackling inequality will be a defining mission for a Shorten Labor government. This begins with taking responsibility, not hiding from it," he will argue.
To that end, he will promise if Labor wins the next election it will work with business to develop industries that provide jobs, end the political uncertainty over energy and climate policy, make home ownership more affordable for the working and middle class and spend more on health, and in particular Medicare.
In contrast to Mr Shorten, Mr Turnbull delivered a full-throated defence of free trade and open markets in a speech he delivered to the Melbourne Institute on Thursday.
The Prime Minister argued they had played a "huge part" in Australia's 26 years of uninterrupted economic growth and they're laying the groundwork for our future prosperity".
"In order to offer workers hope for the future and well-paid jobs, we have to allow new industries freely to develop and so then consider what our future workforce needs to look like and re-skill the current workforce accordingly," he said.
Mr Turnbull also said he believed interest rates are set to rise, though not immediately, following the release of the Reserve Bank board minutes on Tuesday, which suggested a neutral cash rate would be 3.5 per cent, up from the current level of 1.5 per cent.

About Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)
2010 Guidelines for CPR and ECC
Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation and ILCOR Comparison Chart
BLS Changes
Chest compressions, Airway, Breathing(C-A-B)
New science indicates the following order:
1. Check the patient for responsiveness.
2. Check for no breathing or no normal breathing.
3. Call for help.
4. Check the pulse for no longer than 10 seconds.
5. Give 30 compressions.
6. Open the airway and give 2 breaths.
7. Resume compressions.
Airway, Breathing, Chest compressions (A-B-C)
Previously, after responsiveness was assessed, a call for help was made, the airway was opened, the patient was checked for breathing, and 2 breaths were given, followed by a pulse check and compressions.
Although ventilations are an important part of resuscitation, evidence shows that compressions are the critical element in adult resuscitation. In the A-B-C sequence, compressions are often delayed.
Compressions should be initiated within 10 seconds of recognition of the arrest.
Compressions were to be given after airway and breathing were assessed, ventilations were given, and pulses were checked.
Although ventilations are an important part of resuscitation, evidence shows that compressions are the critical element in adult resuscitation. Compressions are often delayed while providers open the airway and deliver breaths.
Compressions should be given at a rate of at least 100/min. Each set of 30 compressions should take approximately 18 seconds or less.
Compressions were to be given at a rate of about 100/min. Each cycle of 30 compressions was to be completed in 23 seconds or less.
Compression rates are commonly quite slow, and compressions >100/min result in better perfusion and better outcomes.
Compression depths are as follows:
Adults: at least 2 inches (5 cm)
Children: at least one third the depth of the chest, approximately2 inches (5 cm)
Infants: at least one third the depth of the chest, approximately 1½ inches (4 cm)
Compression depths were as follows:
Adults: 1½ to 2 inches
Children: one third to one half the diameter of the chest
Infants: one third to one half the diameter of the chest
Deeper compressions generate better
Perfusion of the coronary and cerebral arteries.
Airway and
Cricoid pressure is no longer routinely
recommended for use with ventilations during cardiac arres
"Look, listen, and feel for breathing" has been removed from the sequence for assessment of breathing after opening the airway. Healthcare providers briefly check for no breathing or no normal breathing when checking responsiveness to detect signs of cardiac arrest.
After delivery of 30 compressions, lone rescuers open the victim's airway and deliver 2 breaths.
If an adequate number of rescuers were available, one could apply cricoid pressure.
Randomized studies have demonstrated that cricoid pressure still allows for aspiration. It is also difficult to properly train providers to perform the maneuver correctly
"Look, listen, and feel for breathing" was used to assess breathing after the airway was opened.
With the new chest compression–first sequence, CPR is performed if the adult victim is unresponsive and not breathing or not breathing normally (ie, not breathing or only gasping) and begins with compressions (C-A-B sequence). Therefore, breathing is briefly checked as part of a check for cardiac arrest. After the first set of chest compressions, the airway is opened and the rescuer delivers 2 breaths.
AED Use
For children from 1 to 8 years of age, an AED with a pediatric dose-attenuator system should be used if available. If an AED with a dose attenuator is not available, a standard AED may be used.
For infants (<1 year of age), a manual defibrillator is preferred. If a manual defibrillator is not available, an AED with a pediatric dose attenuator is desirable. If neither is available, an AED without a dose attenuator may be used.
The lowest energy dose for effective defibrillation in infants and children is not known. The upper limit for safe defibrillation is also not known, but doses >4 J/kg (as high as 9 J/kg) have provided effective defibrillation in children and animal models of pediatric arrest, with no significant adverse effects.
AEDs with relatively high energy doses have been used successfully in infants in cardiac arrest, with no clear adverse effects.
This does not represent a change for children. In 2005 there was not sufficient evidence to recommend for or against the use of an AED in infants.

Q: How to give popper.js popper-box margin/ padding so it wont stick to the window borders I want to give a popper-box (tooltip) a padding to the window. So it has an offset to the window frame and does not stick at the edges
I tried to achieve this by adding a padding/ margin/ transparent border to the popper-box. But all of these approaches have the downside that the arrow is being offsetted by the margin/ padding: https://jsfiddle.net/hq3tLf9k/ arrow being pushed down by 20px
the following approach was to have an inner div that has this padding/ margin applied and leave the parent box untouched: https://jsfiddle.net/dz2ayntf/
this works for the positioning of the arrow, but I also want to animate-in the popper box (slide in) using a css transition: transform, transform: translate(0, 10px). This transition should apply to both, the box and the arrow. transfom: translate unfortunately creates a relative position context and the position of the arrow is offsetted by the margin. https://jsfiddle.net/dz2ayntf/1/
So back to the original question:

*

*how to have the popper-box not stick to the browser window edges, (padding)

*transform: translate on box including the arrow

A: found the solution:
The popper.js modifier preventOverflow takes an object where you can pass options width a padding, this will be the distance to the "overflow element" here, the viewport
api documentation: https://popper.js.org/docs/v2/modifiers/prevent-overflow/#padding
https://jsfiddle.net/ynbad02x/
  var state = Popper.createPopper(reference, popper, {
    placement: 'right',
    modifiers: [{

      name: 'preventOverflow',
        options: {
        altAxis: true,
        padding: 40
      },
     }]
  });

the popover box has 40px padding to the edge, while scrolling
