      Spurs beat Heat 104-87 in Game 5 to win NBA title

      By BRIAN MAHONEY (AP Basketball Writer)5 hours agoAP - Sports
      SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, the winningest trio in NBA postseason history, shared hugs.

      Game Leaders

      Players wrapped themselves in flags from around world, a reminder that the San Antonio Spurs look far beyond the border to build champions, as confetti fell from above.
      Painfully denied 12 months ago by the Miami Heat, this victory party was worth the wait.
      ''It makes last year OK,'' Duncan said.
      The Spurs finished off a dominant run to their fifth NBA championship Sunday night, ending the Heat's two-year title reign with a 104-87 victory that wrapped up the series in five games.
      ''We had a great first quarter, but from that point on they were the better team, and that's why they're the champions in 2014,'' said LeBron James, who led the Heat with 31 points and 10 rebounds.
      San Antonio erased an early 16-point deficit and routed Miami for the fourth time in the series, denying the Heat's quest for a third straight championship. A year after the Spurs suffered their only loss in six finals appearances - a heartbreaking seven-game defeat - they turned the rematch into no match at all.
      ''We wanted to redeem ourselves. I'm just glad we were able to do that,'' Parker said.
      Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who added this title to the ones they won in 1999, 2003, '05 and '07. They nearly had another last year, but couldn't hold off the Heat.
      ''I've said many times, a day didn't go by where I didn't think about Game 6,'' Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said of the turning point in last year's finals. ''So I think, just in general, for the group to have the fortitude that they showed to get back to this spot, I think speaks volumes about how they're constituted and what kind of fiber they have.''
      Not to mention tons of talent, and perhaps the best coaching in the game.
      ''They played exquisite basketball this series and in particular these last three games and they are the better team. There's no other way to say it,'' Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
      The Spurs won four titles in nine years, but hadn't been back on top since 2007, making Foreigner's ''Feels Like the First Time'' an appropriate song choice after the final buzzer.
      Duncan and Popovich have been here for all of them, and it was the fourth for Parker and Ginobili, who with Duncan are once again the reigning the Big Three in the NBA.
      Chris Bosh finished with 13 points and Dwyane Wade just 11 on 4-of-12 shooting for the Heat.

      SAN ANTONIO, TX - JUNE 15: The San Antonio Spurs celebrate with the Larry O'Brien trophy after d …
      The painful conclusion to last year's NBA Finals served as the fuel for this one, powering the Spurs to a league-best 62-win season and a rematch with Miami - the first in the finals since Chicago beat Utah in 1997-98.
      Round 2 went to the Spurs, but both teams have challenges to navigate if there is to be a rubber match.
      San Antonio will face questions - as it has for years - about the age of its core, and whether Duncan, Ginobili and Popovich want to stick around. The Heat will brace for the potential free agency of James, Wade and Bosh, and will need younger, fresher pieces around the three All-Stars if they all stay.
      But this moment belongs to the Spurs.
      Playing a methodical, albeit winning, style for many years made San Antonio respected, but never beloved. The Spurs were TV ratings killers, casual viewers finding them not much fun to watch.
      But Popovich opened up the offense a few years ago, making the Spurs an easy-to-like, tough-to-beat group that thrives on ball movement and 3-point shooting.
      ''You showed the world how beautiful this game is,'' Commissioner Adam Silver told the Spurs during the postgame award ceremony.
      A decade and a half after winning their first title in 1999, when Duncan was in his second season, the Spurs remain the NBA's model organization, a small-market team that simply wins big and hardly ever does it with a high draft pick. Instead, they found players overseas or in other organizations who would fit the Spurs' way of doing things and mesh with the Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, who have teamed for 117 postseason victories.
      That included Leonard, acquired in a draft-night trade with Indiana after playing at San Diego State, and Patty Mills, an Australian national who scored 17 points off the bench.
      In the end, the Spurs made winning their fifth title look stunningly easy - much to the delight of the home crowd. After the slow start, they had their fans standing, chanting and dancing much of the second half.
      Notes: It was the Spurs' 12th win by 15 or more points, most ever in a postseason. The Spurs outscored opponents by 214 points in the postseason. ... Miami had won 11 straight series, tied for the fifth-longest streak in NBA history.

      O que valorizar para a página principal de um jornal...? New York Times discute a transição do papel para a tela digital


      A Paper Boat Navigating a Digital Sea

        THE PUBLIC EDITOR
        IT’S Wednesday morning and 39 editors have filed in to the 10 a.m. meeting in The Times’s third-floor conference room, some carrying laptops and smartphones, others with pens and notepads.
        The meeting, which until recently concentrated on the printed newspaper, now emphasizes a different discussion: journalism on the digital platforms of The Times. There was praise for headlines that had contained the right words — both “Eric” and “Cantor,” in this case — to maximize online search results; a query about whether a story would be accompanied by a video; and talk about how to give a political package more weight on the home page.
        There was even a half-joking reference to the readership spike that came after an initial foray on Twitter by the new executive editor, Dean Baquet, who had praised coverage of a Brooklyn funeral and provided a link.
        The morning meeting is one of two large news meetings each day, with the other at 4 p.m. (For the record, of the 23 people seated around the main table, as opposed to the periphery, seven were women; two, both men, were African-American.)
        The focus at the meetings, and The Times, has come a long way since the days when “what’s going on page one?” was the biggest question. Clearly, there’s an effort to make this, more than ever, an “all platforms” newsroom.
        But the structural changes at The Times and in the larger media world are even more striking. And therein lies a problem that has no easy solution: how to fully transform for the digital future when the business model — and the DNA of the newsroom — is so tied to the printed newspaper.
        Consider:
        • The Times’s journalism reaches far more people digitally than in print. And the digital trend lines are ever upward, while print continues the downward spiral in circulation that began a decade ago and accelerated with the economic downturn of 2008.
        • But print, with both advertising and subscription revenues, keeps the paper afloat. In the first quarter of this year, advertising brought in $159 million; of that, only $38 million came from digital ads, with the lion’s share from those in print.
        • Digital-only subscriptions, now at about 800,000, are credited with saving the day. But keeping them growing is difficult; relying on their continued dramatic growth is an unsustainable idea.
        Meanwhile, the cost of doing it all is astronomical. Yearly newsroom costs alone are more than $240 million; that supports 1,250 journalists and bureaus all over the world.
        So urgent questions arise: Is the pace of change at The Times fast enough? And what does the future, both journalistic and business, look like? I can’t answer them definitively but others have taken a shot.
        “In theory, The Times can get rid of print,” wrote Frédéric Filloux recently in his Monday Note blog. Steve Outing, a digital media consultant, thinks The Times would be best served by going weekly, keeping the lucrative Sunday edition only. In the Columbia Journalism Review, Ryan Chittum finds the Sunday-only paper a likely scenario. “I’d bet something like that will happen by the end of this decade,” he wrote.
        Jonah Peretti, who founded BuzzFeed, said in a recent interview that the biggest question for The Times is not how to improve its digital offerings but “why do they need to have so much revenue?” He answered it this way: “It’s because their cost structure is made for print. When you look at how much revenue comes from print and the scale of their operation because of print, the challenge that they’re facing moving forward is how do they move into a post-print world.”
        That’s the most difficult issue of all for The Times. Part of the challenge is that print is in the blood of most of the journalists at the paper. Mr. Baquet has spent his whole career at newspapers, and grapples daily with making the transition.
        “I’m trying not to behave like a print editor,” he told me in an interview last week. “What I’m trying to teach myself is to take that energy and dedication to other platforms.” But the purpose of Times journalism, he said, will remain the same: “We put public service ahead of everything else.”
        It’s difficult to find anyone at The Times who thinks that print is going away anytime soon. And no one I’ve talked to wants that to happen. There is a great love for the traditional newspaper, including among those who are agitating most for change. Even the young journalists who are the authors of a recent “innovation report” about The Times that has garnered plenty of well-deserved attention are steeped in the world of print and sentimentally attached to it.
        Amy O’Leary, for example, a member of the 10-member group that worked on the report — it was headed by A. G. Sulzberger, the 33-year-old son of Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. — told me that she has saved every one of her front-page stories in a white archive box, and that Times editors send reporters the metal plate from the printing plant when their first front-page story is published. She also knows full well that the future lies elsewhere.

        “The important thing is that the newsroom is wrestling with these questions,” Ms. O’Leary, a 36-year-old reporter, told me.
        She is right. But to move the needle fully to the digital side, The Times will also have to look hard at its newsroom expenses, with an eye toward a leaner future that doesn’t sacrifice journalistic excellence.
        In order to thrive, The Times needs radical change at an accelerated pace. At a company so heavily reliant on print for revenue and on digital for the future, that won’t be easy. But it’s crucial, because for readers what’s essential is Times journalism — not its form but its survival.

        Artilheira no banco...

        Dilma no banco, por Ruth de Aquino

        Ruth de Aquino, ÉPOCA
        Por três vezes, a multidão gritou gol, por quatro vezes mandou Dilma Rousseff tomar no c... Caía por terra o esquema oficial para blindá-la. De pouco adiantou entrar no Itaquerão quase clandestina. Dilma chegou em comboio por uma garagem. Subiu em elevador privativo.
        De nada adiantou evitar pronunciamento e quebrar a tradição de Copas do Mundo. Não se anunciou sua presença. Seu nome não foi citado. A imagem de Dilma no telão bastou para detonar o coro ofensivo. Pior que as vaias do ano passado.
        O que sentiu a herdeira do ausente Lula? Em seus sonhos, a estreia da Copa no Brasil seria sua consagração e do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT). O que deu errado?
        O primeiro gol contra não foi do Marcelo. Foi do técnico Lula. Há quatro anos, ele convocou como artilheira seu poste querido, inexperiente no gramado político, sem talento para driblar adversidades, sem criatividade para virar um placar, sem carisma para liderar companheiros, sem visão de jogo para lançamentos longos, sem precisão nos cruzamentos, sem vocação para trabalho de equipe. Uma capitã sem a generosidade do passe, sem a humildade da autocrítica, sem o brilho que encanta, sem sorriso, sem suor, sem humor. Dilma foi imposta por Lula até a aliados relutantes.

        E, agora, o ex-presidente, corintiano roxo, que pontuou seus dois mandatos com metáforas futebolísticas, se viu coagido a não aparecer no Itaquerão em dia de gala. Ele, que articulou a construção do estádio para sediar a abertura do Mundial, viu o jogo no seu apartamento em São Bernardo, no ABC paulista. Medo de levar rebarba?

        Olhe pra cima, sorria e acene pro céu... Skybox está olhando pra você!


        Google compra Skybox e terá poder de observação a partir do espaço

        Por Redação em | 14.06.2014 às 20h55
        Google



        Agora o Google poderá "ver" você bem de perto e não apenas via web, mas no seu dia a dia. A empresa adquiriu a startup Skybox, que dispara fotos e vídeos de alta resolução através de satélites de baixo custo no espaço. Com a aquisição o Google terá acesso a quase qualquer coisa que acontece na Terra, com a possibilidade de observar o funcionamento de economias, nações, natureza e indivíduos. 
        Os satélites da Skybox têm capacidade para tirar fotos a partir de 500 quilômetros até um metro do chão, com uma alta definição.

        Com esse novo poder em mãos, o Google também precisa apresentar novas garantias de respeito à privacidade – mesmo que ele seja capaz de ver o que você faz no seu cotidiano, isso não significa que ele realmente fará isso. A empresa justificou a aquisição dos satélites da Skybox como uma ferramenta para manter o Google Maps atualizado e que no futuro pretende usá-los para difundir o acesso à internet em locais remotos, buscando promover assim os serviços já existentes da empresa.

        Uma reportagem no Wired sobre o Skybox apresenta algumas ideias de como as imagens de alta resolução captadas do espaço podem ser usadas para fins comerciais bem específicos, como imagens de poços e montes que podem identificar a produtividade de minas, o mapeamento de estacionamentos para identificar padrões de varejo e mesmo imagens que mostram um acidente de carro. O Skybox já realizou estudos ousados usando esses recursos, como o mapeamento das reservas de petróleo da Arábia Saudita medidas a partir do espaço.

        Com o recurso de imagens de cima para baixo, empresas e governos podem identificar padrões comerciais e produção econômica no mundo todo. As informações coletadas por esse meio podem ser usadas tanto para o bem das pessoas, como para o mal, dizem alguns.
        Mesmo com todas as suposições, não é muito provável que o governo norte-americano permita um uso desenfreado de um satélite deste tipo e o Google tenha que seguir especificações semelhantes a outras empresas com tecnologia semelhante.
