A busy week, this one was. Seems the winter meetings did serve one critical purpose -- they helped teams set up some of the big dealings of this week!
But Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and John Lackey weren't the only ones changing hands; lesser role players did swap uniforms, but did so more under-the-radar than those star-caliber names. No matter, as fantasy owners love even the minor moves, because that's so often where the sleepers can be found.
Here's a rundown of some of the other moves that have recently gone down:
Los Angeles Angels sign Hideki Matsui: Matsui played a key part in the New York Yankees' World Series championship, earning Series MVP honors, and when the championship banner is raised (and possibly also rings handed out) in April, he'll be there for the ceremonies. He just won't be wearing pinstripes at the time.
The veteran slugger signed a one-year, $6 million contract to join the Angels on Wednesday, joining the very team his Yankees defeated in the American League Championship Series in 2009, and the one that will be the Yankees' opponent in their 2010 home opener. Matsui presumably takes over as the Angels' designated hitter, replacing Vladimir Guerrero, a free agent himself this winter.
Fantasy owners might think of such a swap sheer lunacy, especially accounting for the fact Matsui is actually eight months older than Guerrero. The numbers back it up, however: In 2009, Matsui had the better of his predecessor in terms of on-base percentage (.367-.334), slugging percentage (.509-.460), at-bats per home run (16.3-25.5), plate appearances per walk (8.2-21.4) and games played (142-100). Guerrero topped him primarily in two "ratio" categories, batting average (.295-.274) and at-bats per strikeout (6.1-6.8). Even if you adjust for home ballparks -- Yankee Stadium was the most homer-friendly ballpark in baseball in 2009 (1.261 Park Factor) -- and use only road statistics, Matsui still bested Guerrero in all of those same statistical categories.
How is that possible? Matsui, who has battled knee issues in recent seasons, seemed to warm to the full-time designated hitter role, a spot that preserved him over the course of a full 162-game schedule. He's also better at working the count (3.93 pitches per plate appearances in 2009, 3.85 in his career) than Guerrero (3.23 and 3.24), and lacks any sort of platoon split, having tied for the major league lead in home runs by a left-hander versus left-handed pitching (13) and finished second only to Raul Ibanez in slugging percentage versus southpaws among those with 100-plus plate appearances (.618). Those who wrote Matsui off in recent years due to lingering concerns about his knee -- myself included -- wound up dead wrong, and chances are he might actually approach his 2009 production in L.A.
Matsui was my No. 160 player overall in my recent rankings, compared to 96 for Guerrero, but expect those numbers to edge closer together mainly because I overestimated Guerrero in the first run. More likely Guerrero will simply plummet in the next run this week, while Matsui should remain a top-150 player, well worth your consideration once you reach the double-digit rounds in your draft.
Boston Red Sox sign Mike Cameron: Having already determined they would not pursue Jason Bay to continue patrolling left field at Fenway Park, the Red Sox on Tuesday signed Mike Cameron to a two-year, $15.5 million contract.
If that sounds like a potentially significant downgrade, that's because it is; the Red Sox go from Bay's .267 batting average, .384 on-base percentage and .537 slugging percentage in 2009 (.280/.376/.519 career) to Cameron's .250/.342/.452 (.250/.340/.448 career), and they get older by nearly five years. Plus, while Bay shuffled between the Nos. 4, 5 and 6 spots in the Red Sox's lineup, Cameron more likely will occupy a lower spot in the order.
So what's the rationale behind the deal? Defense, of course, which helps it make a heck of a lot more sense. By most accounts, Cameron will take over for Bay in left, a position he has manned precisely three times and for 9 2/3 innings in his career. He could also play center field, with Jacoby Ellsbury shifting to left, a move that might be wise considering that by any defensive metric, Cameron had better range and was above-average in center in 2009, while Ellsbury was oddly below-average (ranging to poor depending on the source). Of course, those defensive factors mean little to fantasy owners of either Cameron or Ellsbury, but owners of Red Sox pitchers should care -- especially a noted fly-baller like Daisuke Matsuzaka.
In terms of draft value, Cameron might make a case as a fourth/fifth mixed-league outfielder, but potentially an overrated one as a lower-half-of-the-order Red Sox hitter. His speed is dwindling -- his seven steals and 10 attempts were by far his worst numbers in either category in any full season -- and he's a batting-average drain, having failed to hit better than .250 since 2006. Picking Cameron means chasing 25 homers and potentially 75-80 RBIs and runs, but he's actually likely to do at least as much helping the pitchers than he will fantasy teams with his bat.
One thing that's a shame: Jeremy Hermida, a sleeper at the time of his acquisition from the Florida Marlins, now seems destined for a fourth outfielder role. In an outfield with aging injury risks like Cameron and J.D. Drew, Hermida still has some appeal in AL-only formats, but his playing time takes a noticeable hit.
New York Yankees sign Nick Johnson: Looking to patch the holes created (or potentially created) by the free-agent departures of Hideki Matsui and (possibly) Johnny Damon, the New York Yankees signed Johnson to a one-year, $5.5-million contract with incentives, pending a physical, reports ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. It might seem a redundant signing for a team with a strong defensive everyday first baseman already on the roster, but Johnson makes a lot of sense for the Yankees. He's an injury risk, having averaged 93 games per year since 2002 and appeared in as many as 130 only three times, but as the Yankees' primary designated hitter, replacing Hideki Matsui, he might be comparably preserved over the 162-game season to Matsui in 2009.
It's the first time Johnson will occupy the DH role regularly and he's one of the most patient hitters in the game, with a .426 on-base percentage and an average of 4.36 pitches per plate appearances, both of which ranked him third in the majors in 2009. He might be a perfect fit for the No. 2 hole in the Yankee lineup, potentially left unoccupied due to Johnny Damon's free agency, and fantasy owners surely have to know that a player with a .400-plus OBP batting ahead of Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez is going to score well over 100 runs. Plus, if you recall my column about the Curtis Granderson trade, Johnson's installation as the No. 2 hitter would alleviate any worries about Derek Jeter's base stealing opportunities, not to mention maximize Granderson's potential as a heart-of-the-order hitter, not a table-setter.
Fantasy owners can't draft Johnson expecting huge numbers because of the high levels of injury risk, but he might be a .290-hitting, .410-OBP, 125-run player (Yankees No. 2 hitters managed 128 runs thanks to a .365 OBP) if he can stay healthy. Granderson, meanwhile, becomes a stronger bet for 30 homers, 100 RBIs and 20 steals if he's more of a Nos. 5-6-7 hitter than No. 2.
Chicago Cubs, Seattle Mariners swap Milton Bradley, Carlos Silva: It's a trade of two headaches for their former teams. The Cubs dealt Bradley due to his antics, not to mention his bloated contract, while the Mariners dealt Silva due, well, simply to his bloated contract. Don't let those comments convince you the Cubs pulled off a heist here; the opposite is the truth. Silva finished his Mariners career with a 5-18 record, 6.81 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in 36 games (34 starts), shaping up as one of the worst players in fantasy baseball the past two seasons. He'll get a fresh start in Chicago, and in the National League, but if he's even a matchups consideration against bad teams, it should be considered a surprise.
Bradley, meanwhile, presumably takes over in left field and a middle-of-the-order role for the Mariners. Though his 2009 was a rocky one marred by injuries, and certainly a huge letdown compared to his 2008, he did provide some hidden value. He had a healthy .378 OBP and batted .282 with a .429 slugging percentage in 96 games from May 1-Aug. 31, really the only times he ever seemed comfortable in the Windy City. With a fresh start in Seattle, he might capitalize upon being one of the few run producers in the heart of a lineup with a much-improved upper third, perhaps capable of another 20-homer, 75-RBI season if he stays healthy. Of course, like Johnson, fantasy owners can't necessarily draft him as such due to the risk.
Chicago White Sox trade for Juan Pierre: A significant move in fantasy, because Pierre steals bases, hits for a decent batting average and bats high in the order, meaning plenty of runs scored, and all of those things have a profound impact in our game that's not quite paralleled on the diamond. Most significant: Pierre is the kind of player who is actually more effective at his trade given regular at-bats, something he was never guaranteed when the Los Angeles Dodgers had a healthy Manny Ramirez on the field. During Ramirez's 50-game suspension, for instance, Pierre batted .318 (.381 on-base percentage) with 21 steals (in 28 tries) and played all but two innings, averaging one steal attempt per 8.57 plate appearances or 3.21 times on base by hit, walk or hit by pitch. The rest of the season, he batted .295 (.344 OBP) with nine steals (in 14 tries) and started as many as three games in a row only once, averaging one steal per 13.21 PAs or 4.43 times on base.
Those steals differentials weren't limited to only 2009, either. In 2008, Pierre averaged one steal per 7.47 PAs or 2.42 times on base in 79 games before Ramirez was acquired, compared to one per 9.44 PAs or 3.00 times on base in 40 games with Ramirez on the roster. Pierre simply plays his best when he's in there regularly, and considering the White Sox got a combined .302 OBP from leadoff hitters not named Scott Podsednik in 2009, he's going to be in there regularly. A return to his .290-hitting, 50-steal, 100-run days is not unthinkable, though he's 32 years old. It's probably smarter to target him as more of a middle-to-late rounder than the price tags of his prime, which were a lot closer to top-50 worthy.
A-Rod won't need second surgery: Huge news for Alex Rodriguez, as the concern back in March at the time he underwent surgery for torn cartilage in his hip was that eventually he was going to require a more extensive procedure to finish the job, presumably done during this winter (if he could hold off for that long). But after meeting with the surgeon who operated on him in March, A-Rod learned that his hip had already properly healed. He's ready to begin his offseason workout program, and considering the guy batted .294 with 36 home runs, 118 RBIs and 16 stolen bases in 139 games combined between the regular season and postseason in 2009, he's sure looking like a safe top-five overall pick.
Notable non-tenders: Baseball's deadline for tendering a 2010 contract to players arrived this past Friday, and with it some notable non-tenders (players now fresh to the free-agent market). Among the notable names, along with the brief fantasy implications of the decisions: Mike MacDougal of the Washington Nationals, a move somewhat expected with closer candidate Brian Bruney now on board; Matt Capps of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who had 27 saves but a 5.80 ERA in 2009 and might lose all of his fantasy value if he's forced to settle for a setup job elsewhere; Jack Cust of the Oakland Athletics, a poster boy for the "three true outcomes" hitter (home run, walk or strikeout) who might do well to escape that spacious ballpark yet will always be more valuable in fantasy leagues that use OBP over batting average; and Chien-Ming Wang of the New York Yankees, a former 19-game winner who might be an intriguing sleeper so long as his spring health reports are positive and he signs with a team with good infield defense.
Kansas City Royals sign Jason Kendall: It's a frightening prospect that the Royals might go into Opening Day with Kendall their starting catcher. Not that fantasy owners should be excited. Kendall has batted under .250 in each of the past three seasons and hit two home runs in 2009, whereas the major league-average catcher with as many PAs as Kendall (526) had 13 home runs, 59 RBIs and 53 runs scored. Kendall, by comparison, had two, 43 and 48.
Chicago White Sox sign J.J. Putz: He'll take over as Bobby Jenks' primary set-up man, a significant role in that Jenks, who is arbitration eligible, has been linked to trade rumors in the past. Putz is coming off an awful season cut short by surgery to remove a bone spur from his elbow, but when healthy he's a better-than-strikeout-per-inning reliever. Here's your handcuff, Jenks owners.
Dioner Navarro remains in Tampa Bay: I alluded to the possibility of the Tampa Bay Rays non-tendering Navarro after acquiring Kelly Shoppach a few weeks back, but as the deadline approached he and the team agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.1 million contract, an identical amount to what he earned in 2009. It's still possible the Rays might deal one of the two, especially since neither one hits right-handers well, but if both remain it's going to adversely affect both their fantasy values. Pressed to pick I'd prefer Shoppach, because as the right-handed hitter of the two (Navarro switch-hits), he might play only against lefties with Navarro battling righties, a good arrangement for Shoppach but a poor one for Navarro.
Toronto Blue Jays sign John Buck: He could wind up the Blue Jays' starter, or more likely will be paired with another catcher in a straight split of the role to allow prospect J.P. Arencibia to break in at his own speed. Buck, a .235 career hitter, isn't a worthwhile fantasy choice outside of deep AL-only leagues.
Philadelphia Phillies sign Ross Gload: Expect Gload, who batted .318 as a pinch hitter in 2009, to occupy the Matt Stairs role, coming in mostly as a pinch hitter but occasionally earning a start at first base or the corner outfield spots. Unfortunately, Gload isn't quite as attractive a spot-start candidate for fantasy owners, as he's a .279/.330/.414 hitter in his career against right-handers. Stairs, by comparison, is a career .270/.364/.494 hitter against that side.
Los Angeles Dodgers sign Jamey Carroll: He's currently the Los Angeles Dodgers' top man at second base on the depth chart, but come Opening Day, Carroll more likely will slide into the Ronnie Belliard role, filling in at second and third base. Unfortunately, Carroll isn't an especially attractive spot-start type, either, as a .284/.359/.357 career hitter versus left-handers. He'll serve more value as a defender, which unfortunately means little to most fantasy owners.

Patient Comments: Breast Biopsy - Experience
Question:Describe your experience with your breast biopsy.
Comment from: pj, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: April 11
I had an ultrasound guided core biopsy of my breast yesterday. I'm 24 and not being familiar with this procedure made it very intimidating. The radiologist explained the procedure and showed me how the biopsy gun works so I could be familiar with that 'click' noise. I was given 2 numbing needles. I felt a bit of pain when it went into the lump in my breast but after that, I couldn't feel anything. A small slit was made into the skin and the biopsy needle was inserted into it. Four samples and 40 minutes later, I was cleaned up and wrapped in a bag of frozen peas. Twenty four hours later, I feel a bit of pain at the incision site, but not as bad as I had envisioned. I don't even feel the need for pain medication. Ask to squeeze a stress ball, I found it very helpful; and follow the instructions they give you, regarding icing and applying pressure.
Comment from: angel77, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 18
I recently had the core biopsy done. Before I had it done I never had any pain and couldn't feel a lump nor could the doctor but it showed on mammogram and ultra sound. The core biopsy in itself didn't hurt but it's been 10 days now and I'm still so bruised and have a huge knot of lump on my breast. I'm concerned why I have this still and it's painful. I wouldn't like any more of these as my breast is half bruised.
Comment from: 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: February 07
I had an ultrasound core biopsy in my breast this morning. I felt a little prick with the numbing needle and it was smooth sailing from there. When she went in for a second sample there was a little tug, not pain, so she gave me a little more numbing medication. It's been 10 hours now and I am a little sore but this is not nearly as bad as I envisioned.
Comment from: Teacher, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 07
I had a core biopsy yesterday. I had virtually no pain. I feel sorry for women who experience a great deal of pain as indicated on posts but I have to say that I virtually felt nothing. The hardest part is waiting one week for the results of the breast biopsy.
Comment from: Chel, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: January 29
I had a core needle biopsy done four days ago on both my breasts during the same sitting and I am still in pain. I can't put a bra near my breasts. It hurts for my arms to go across my breasts. I have had one done prior to these (two years ago) and lumps removed previously, but I have never felt the pain I am feeling now. The procedure itself wasn't that painful, except when the doctor put the anesthetic through my nipple. I didn't understand why his assistant had to put all her weight on my breast after the procedure was done. My right breast is bruised and has a huge knot near where I am bruised, but not where the Steri-Strips are. My left breast feels like there are rocks floating around in it. Now I'm concerned about these new rock-like lumps I feel since the biopsies. They are painful! I want my breasts off now. I can't go through this again. I was told that my results were negative, but my doctor said he needed to discuss my pathology report with me. I am absolutely miserable. I hope I never find another lump because I may not want to go back to the doctor.
Comment from: Carol, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: May 13
I had the breast biopsy procedure done today, core needle biopsy. I"m 68 years old and have never been admitted to a hospital, no children, no broken bones, no nothing, lucky yes� and I was terrified after finding a lump on my right breast. I had not had a mammogram for several years, dumb, I know. The procedure was a piece of cake. Now the wait to find out. Please ladies don"t anticipate what you fear is going to happen. If mine turns out to be cancer, it is better to know than suffer the fear of the unknown.
Comment from: pepsi, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: March 13
I had a mammogram and ultra sound biopsy on Monday, it's now Saturday and the pain has got worse as time's gone on and I have now got a huge lump.
Comment from: 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: December 13
I am a senior citizen who had lumpectomy and radiation on the right breast 2 1/2 years ago. About every six months I have been going for mammogram. The last one showed a suspicious area not very close to the lumpectomy site. I had an ultrasound-assisted vacuum biopsy, and a titanium chip placed. As I was leaving the office I was told that two more mammograms had to be taken, which showed that the wrong area was biopsied. After 3 weeks my breast is still sore and purple. I am concerned that the suspicious area may show positive, but I cannot have another biopsy because of the soreness.

One day, I came upon the world of foodie blogs and as I looked through them, I thought to myself, this would be fun to do. I did not realize the high caliber of cooks, we have in Bloggerville. A few lovely bloggers took me under their wings and helped me along. My photos were atrocious and the way I shared recipes were equally so. What frightens me is that someday, I may look back on my present blogs and say the same thing.
My first blog was a kosher gluten-free blog but as time went on, I realized, I did not want a gluten-free blog even though my two blogs now are 90% gluten-free. The difference is that when I don't term it that, I can sneak in a non GF recipe without making a big fuss to watch out for the gluten. It did take off a lot of pressure. That was good-bye to Chaya's Comfy Cook.

Can you turn Blackberry into Wifi Hotspot?
My 8820 has built-in Wifi. I want to find a way to share the WAP internet connection through the Wifi, basically turning it into a Wifi hotspot.
The idea is that I could provide a wifi internet connection to an iPod Touch or laptop. I don't want to buy any external adapters (i know they exist to share a wifi connection) because the Blackberry already has Wifi built-in.
So far I have not found anything about this idea. No one has asked the question, best I can tell.
I've looked through the settings on the device and have not found anything about creating an ad-hoc network or acting like a wifi router. My guess is that it has to be doable through software, there has to be a way this can be done.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I know it can be done on Windows Mobile devices through a piece of software. I'm looking to see if someone has written such software for the Blackberry, or even if it's in the works.

you dont have to do it that way. just use bluetooth and use your BB as a modem. i do it all the time. type "use blackberry as a modem" on google. use the instructions for your carrier. best of luck.Dear RIM,
Sigh..... /shakes head.....Sigh

The device(s) I want to connect to it don't have Bluetooth as an option.
The question I've posed is unfortunatly the only way to acheive what I want. I've already considered all the other ways to use the Blackberry as a gateway to the Internet.
Thanks for your responses, though.

you can tether to a laptop without bluetooth as well, just use the usb cable. the ipod touch however, is highly unlikely. the only way that'll happen is if someone who hacks the touch (most likely apple fanboy) happens to like bb's as well.
This place has several cellular routers that will work with a Blackberry to create a WiFi hotspot... wayyyy cool stuff:

What kills me is the innovation factor here. What board decides what features are to be worked on on a phone? I mean, who says "Lets spend our time adding features that no one will notice and wont increase our profit".
Im an IT guy and it never ceases to amaze me that a billion dollar company cannot figure out what is useful to their clients. Hmmm if I give them a Wifi Enabled phone, and all these other phones have 802.11, and we have several companies making millions with third party software converting them into hot spots...lets NOT add this as a feature. Lets focus on the things no one will notice and be left in the dust like we left Palm in the dust.
Has anyone heard anything on the wire about BB getting their head out and starting dev on this?

this wouldnt be a problem. I am quite certain with this next year we should see these features in some of the google phones. As much as I love my blackberry, their lack of innovation and desire to listen to the community is going to leave them in the wake of the iPhone and Android style phones that ARE community driven.
Mark my words, the next killer phone will either be a netbook with an earpiece, or a phone that can easily be converted into a wifi hotspot. The community doesn't need more resolution or better games on our phones. What we need is ease of use. The treo was a very robust phone that was crushed by Blackberries and iPhones for this reason.
What we need as consumers is better ways to get online, everyone has a laptop or netbook, we all are frustrated with public hotspots, this would cost barely anything in your R&D department, and you charge for the extra bandwidth if need be. iPhone can do this, Windows Mobile Phones do this, I am sure it is just a matter of time before the Android phones have an app. Why not build this in for blackberries, it is an insanely useful thing in businesses and mobile professionals...isnt that the BB market?

The EVO will be able to provide good upload/download speeds with 4G and Verizon is offering free data services to allow for Wifi on the Pre in an effort to bump its mediocre sales.
I'm thinking about getting the Wifi only iPad on Saturday, and it would be pretty sweet to have the 4G EVO as the hotspot and not get the 3G iPad.Storm1 .65 > .75 > .86 > .90 > .99 > .103 > .109 > .113 > .132 > .141 > .148 > 18.104.22.168 > 22.214.171.1243 > 22.214.171.1248 > Storm2

the person who said the iPhone can do it - yes, but not in the United States. It's not a technology issue, AT&T is the exclusive carrier for the iPhone here, and their terms of service disallow tethering on the iPhone.
So, besides the various ways of getting around the Terms of Service, you have only a few options - Palm Pre on Verizion, the 4G HTC EVo on Sprint, and the "data devices" on T-mobile (such as the Blackberry). I'm talking about tethering in any "economical" fashion - then as has been noted, this is only USB cable, or bluetooth tethering on the Blackberry, you need a cradlepoint (more hardware) to get the WiFi hotspot on blackberry, whereas you don't need that on the Pre.
I just got my first cell phone contract - yesterday....never had one in my life, and I'm a mac owner and an iPad owner...but guess what I chose? The blackberry.
I'm a bit late to the cell phone game, but what I did, is had traditional land line service, all these years...and in one quick move, I'm getting cell service, and cancelling the home phone.
So what I needed, was 2 phones ( a family plan) and I wanted to go ahead and have some kind of mobile hotspot, and I wanted both phones to have full data and GPS services (might as well jump in head first!). But my phone needs tethering, my wifes can do without.
I got all that for $90/mo. on t-mobile, the other vendors were not even close they were more like $140 per month. The reason it happened that way, is the Nokia Nuron happens to be a smart phone with full GPS navigation and a full webkit browser, where you can add the data plan for only $10 - for whatever reason t-mobile allows the web2go on this phone, normally they only allow that on feature phones. And my blackberry allows the tethering, and I bought the cradlepoint to go with it. Add in a corporate discount, and wa-la....cheapest by far, for my specific needs, at this moment in time (all this info will be outdated by tomorrow, ha!)
But anyway, so I see all the anti-blackberry comments here, but ironically, this natural iPhone purchaser just bought a blackberry instead, over the tethering issue..

Just wondering if you all are paying $60 a month for a "tethering plan" to use the PHS? That's the entire reason I'd get the PHS, is to avoid the $60/mo cost - otherwise I'd just buy an Overdrive or MiFi... anyone successful in connecting your BB to the PHS without having "tethering" on your plan?

13 Complete Action Photography Kits
Gear Up for Sports Shooting! Updated for FALL 2013
Perhaps you've been reading Sports Illustrated, or perusing sports web sites and are inspired to go out and get great sports moments...but your digital camera falls short of your need to freeze the action and get up close. Here are 13 complete sports photography cameras and/or full systems that will let you chase your dream.
No matter what your budget, level of experience or tolerance for weight is, there are plenty of digital cameras and camera/lens combinations out there to help you get started in action photography. From self-contained "not-so-compact" cameras with long-range zoom lenses and sports photography-friendly features to mirrorless compacts to DSLRs at various levels of cost, there is a combination out there that will let you shoot sports—amateur or professional—like a pro.
(If you're a pro shooter, you likely already know what you need, and probably already have it. This chapter isn't for you. It's for the photography enthusiasts and snapshooters who want to be you.)
What do you need in a sports photography kit?
- A fast camera. It should have a fast "burst rate" (how many pictures it can shoot per second) as well as fast top shutter speeds of at least 1/2000 second, which will freeze action
- Stability. If you choose a handheld long-range zoom camera, it must have image stabilization. Otherwise, your pictures will be blurred due to camera motion, which is magnified by those long zoom lenses. For more advanced cameras a monopod and ballhead camera attachment are essential. Your arms will get tired holding that big rig for too long, and the monopod gives you a good combination of free movement and stability.
- Image quality. If you use a self-contained camera, you will be sacrificing some image quality. The bigger the camera the bigger the sensor—and the better the picture.
- A long lens. One of the reasons those SI photos pop off the page is that the photographers use lenses made with the best glass and coatings and wide apertures. You may not be able to afford such lenses at first so get the best lens you can afford; as you improve, you can trade up.
You can use these criteria and shop for yourself, but the number of choices and possible combinations can be daunting. I've made it easier for you and put together the following kits designed especially for sports photography. (Note: Listed prices are accurate as of August 2013)
Self-Contained Cameras
These cameras come complete with built-in long-range lenses that get you close to the action, no matter where you're sitting. These cameras have electronic viewfinders, and feature sports-friendly shooting modes. But you will need some support if shooting at full zoom at night games, because those long zoom lenses will magnify any camera shake.
- Compact, long-range zoom lenses
- Self contained—no need to switch
- Fast burst rates
- Flexible; can also be used for family photos & travel
- Image stabilization
- Smaller sensors limit best image quality to lowest ISO setting
- Can be easily shaken at full zoom, even with image stabilization
- Small aperture limits usability at night games and indoors
3 options
Nikon Coolpix 520
Adorama Price: $396.95
The Nikon Coolpix 520 is a lightweight yet very versatile camera that has features that help provide top notch photos for its users. It comes with a Len-Shift Vibration Reduction technology so that images shot over long distances that might be blurry due to the lens shake are crisp and clear without the need for a tripod. Its high speed feature allows you to freeze action by simply holding the shutter button to capture seven continuous shots per second. It provides user flexibility by enabling them to control the exposure of they wish with the option to select from P/S/A/M exposure modes. For those that want ease of use just point its 42x optical zoom lens where the action is, set it on auto and the motion detector will automatically choose a faster, motion-freezing shutter speed while subject tracking keeps subjects moving through the frame in focus.
Fujifilm FinePix S8400
Adorama Price: $312
With its 44x Optical zoom coupled with optical image stabilization technology and fast apertures of f/2.9 to f/6.5 users can bring home sharp crisp images due to its ability to reduce blur. For regular action its autofocus can provide speeds of 10fps at full resolution but for high speed action you can ratchet it up a level with its ultra-high speed mode of up to 60fps. If still images are not enough it also supports taking movies in Full HD 1080i movie by simply using the dedicated movie mode button. The FinePix S8400 also supports wireless transfer of images.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200
Adorama Price: $598
Not only does the Panasonic FZ47 have an action-catching 12fps burst rate, but it also zooms out to 600mm (35mm equivalent), which should be plenty for getting those shots of the kids playing soccer. Other features include a 3-inch touchscreen LCD, image stabilization (which you'll need especially at the longer focal lengths), and a 12MP sensor. A nice feature for video capture: Shutter speed goes as high as 1/12,000 second in video mode, which is great for clear, action-stopping footage.
Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Compact (MILC) cameras are the fastest-growing camera category and while most are not ideally suited for sports photography because they either react too slowly and/or they don't have eye-level viewfinders that are a necessity for successful sports photography, some are very fast, and do have either built-in or add-on eye-level finders. Lens selection is relatively slim compared to DSLRs, but thanks to third-party adapters, some DSLR lenses can be used on some MILCs. I chose the best out there. To achieve the best balance between keeping it compact and adding stability, for the first two cameras I chose the Tamrac ZipShot Tripod, which is super-light, takes up practically no space, and sets up and breaks down in a jiffy. My suggestion: Hold the camera with the ZipShot's 3 legs together (use a fastener to keep them in place) so it effectively becomes a lightweight monopod.
- Small and light
- Can change lenses
- Lens adapters allow you to use wide variety of lenses
- Top models have minimal lag time
- May be some lag time
- Limited lens rage
- May require electronic viewfinder
3 options
Nikon 1 V2 with Nikon 10-110mm lens $1,096.95
Tamrac Zipshot Lightweight Tripod $38.95
Total Adorama Price: $1,135.90
The Nikon 1 V2 is the faster, more sophisticated follow up to the Nikon 1 V1. The MILC offering has built on the solid foundation and now boasts even faster autofocus capabilities due to its new EXPEED 3A dual image processor, hitting 15fps in burst and up to 60fps with fixed point autofocus. While Nikon has continued to design it for use in high speed sporting events it has added features that provide flexibility including a mode dial atop the camera for direct access to Program, Shutter, Aperture and Manual controls, it has a mount adapter so that users can now mount any Nikon F-mount lens with a 2.7x 35mm equivalent focal length so that now a 50mm lens covers the equivalent of a 135mm lens on a full-frame sensor camera. Other enhancements include a Wu-1b Wireless mobile adapter for transfer of photos and a GPS unit for geotagging.
Olympus OMD-EM5 $999
Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 lens $549
Tamrac Zipshot Lightweight Tripod $38.95
Total Adorama Price: $1586.95
The Olympus OMD-EM5 is a fast, svelte little camera that has proven itself not only as a great street camera but when paired with the outstanding Olympus 75-300mm lens it can capture the action anywhere in a light, portable package. In my field tests I found focus was very fast and decisive. When set in manual exposure and manual focus, there was virtually no lag time. Image quality is great to ISO 800, and with noise reduction you can get away with ISO 1600 or even higher, and the built-in electronic viewfinder is one of the best I've used. Remember the old film Olympus OM series? This digital camera lives up to that legendary camera's standard.
Sony NEX-7 $1,198
Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.4 E-Mount NEX lens $898
Flashpoint UC204 Carbon Fiber Monopod $79.95
Flashpoint Swivel Tilt Head $10.95
Total Adorama Price: $2,185.90
The smallest and lightest camera to feature the best APS sensor on the market, the Sony NEX-7 is arguably the best mirrorless camera on the market. With an action-freezing top shutter speed of 1/4000 second and 10fps burst rate at full resolution—as well as a built-in, high-resolution electronic viewfinder—the NEX-7 is well-suited for sports photography. I've paired it with a superzoom because that's the only E-Mount lens that currently reaches well into telephoto territory (300mm equivalent). Thanks to the wide variety of adapters available that will take Nikon, Canon or Sony DSLR lenses, you have other options, but may lose autofocus and some other capabilities. Since you are getting such good image quality, it is also important to stabilize the image. A lightweight monopod and tilt head will get you there.
Budget DSLRs
DSLRs are the best way to go if you want top image quality paired with outstanding optics that will do your action photos proud. The great thing about DSLRs is that as you grow and improve as a photographer, you can upgrade lenses (and cameras) to meet your needs. These three kits are starter kits, with the components chosen for the best balance of low price and sports-readiness. You can always trade up!
- Optical viewfinder provides clearest view of the scene
- Faster aperture lenses can shoot in lower light
- Larger sensors mean better image quality
- Better "bang for the buck"
- Larger and heavier than MILCs and self-contained cameras
- Long focal length lenses are bigger and heavier
- Burst rates not so fast
3 options
Canon Rebel T3i $599
Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III lens $189
Flashpoint UC 204 Carbon Fiber Monopod $79.95
Sunpak Medium Ball Head $24.95
Total Adorama Price: $892.90
With an 18MP sensor capable of capturing images at up to 6400 and 3.7fps burst rate, the Canon T3i is a good place to start as a DSLR sports shooter. The 75-300mm lens is an affordable way to give you a longer focal range to get you near the action, and the monopod and ball head will provide the stability you need to get started shooting serious sports without the need for stabilization (which would add a couple of hundred bucks to the cost), for less than a grand.
Nikon D3100 $476.95 (with kit lens)
Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6G lens $159
Flashpoint UC 204 Carbon Fiber Monopod $79.95
Sunpak Medium Ball Head $24.95
Total Adorama Price: $740.85
The Nikon D3100 (only available with the 18-55mm kit lens) is an ideal camera if you want the flexibility of interchangeable lenses but are intimidated by the idea that you have to learn complicated exposure techniques in order to get decent pictures. The D3100's on-board instructions will hold your hand through the learning process and if you don't want to learn, there's a sports scene mode: Just set it and go. Image quality is excellent and the 14MP sensor will provide more than enough resolution for poster-sized prints and more than enough for anything smaller, while the ISO range up to 3200 will deliver action-stopping capabilities. With recent price drops on the lens and camera, this kit is a great deal!
Sony SLT A58 $598
Tamron 75-300mm f/4-5.6 LD $164
Flashpoint UC 204 Carbon Fiber Monopod $79.95
Sunpak Medium Ball Head $24.95
Total Adorama Price: $892.90
The Sony SLT-A58 (only available with a kit lens) has everything that an action photographer could want in a budget DSLR but the zoom lens. Lucky for fans of this family it supports interchangeable lens so that you can easily upgrade to one that more closely meets your needs. Its Exmor sensor can deliver up to ISO 16000 so you can get action-stopping shutter speeds even indoors or at night games, and is capable of six frames in a fraction of a second and then combine all of the data into a single image. When looking for lens, and it supports Sony A-mount as well as compatibles such as the Minolta/Konica Minolta Maxxum lenses. A nice cost effective choice is the Tamron 75-300mm f4.5-5.6 LD AF. Also good accessories are a monopod/ballhead combo for this setup.
Enthusiast DSLRs
You're ready to get serious about shooting sports. You've seen the pictures in Sports Illustrated, and you want to shoot like that—even if your subject is in Little League. Many DSLRs have super-fast burst rates, higher top shutter speeds, and improved image quality at high ISOs. I've paired these three lenses with higher-quality tele zoom lenses with larger apertures. Yes, they cost more, but remember: Once you get to be really good, you can start selling pictures to parents in the league (if you're shooting kids playing) and help pay for the cost.
- Faster burst rate
- More reliable autofocus
- More durable
- They cost more
- Not much noticeable improvement if you use low-end lens
3 options
Canon 7D $1,499
Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS $1,149
(Lower cost alternative: Non-IS version, currently only available Grey Market, for $669)
Canon Extender EF 2x III Tele Extender $449
Flashpoint FL2560 Carbon Fiber Monopod $79.95
Flashpoint F9 Compact Tripod Ball Head $43.95
Total Adorama Price: $2,740.90 - $3,220.90
The rugged, weather-resistant, magnesium-alloy chassis Canon 7D is built to handle heavy use under a variety of outdoor conditions. With a speedy 19-point AF system it focuses quickly and accurately, and its 8fps burst rate and 1/8000 second top shutter speed are fast enough to catch the action, and the buffer has enough room so you can shoot over 100 full-size images without pause (assuming you use a really fast CF card such as th Lexar 32GB 400x card). Its 18MP APS-C sensor handles low light and high ISOs very well, with a top speed of 12,800. The 70-200mm f/4L is a sports shooter's workhorse; if you can afford the faster 70-200mm f/2.8, more power to ya. If you want to save, step down to the non-IS version of the f/4; since you'll be using a monopod you likely will have image stabilization turned off anyway.. The 2x tele extender is matched for Canon lenses so you'll get the best image quality, and doubles the focal range to up to 400mm, which is effectively 600mm factoring in the 7D's APS sensor. I chose a heavier-duty monopod and ball head to handle the heavier payload.
Nikon D7000 $896.95
Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM AF $1,249
Sigma 1.4x teleconverter for Nikon $224
Flashpoint FL2560 Carbon Fiber Monopod $79.95
Flashpoint F9 Compact Tripod Ball Head $43.95
Total Adorama Price: $2,493.85
With one of the highest-rated APS sensors for overall image quality, the Nikon D7000 is a half-step down from the Canon 7D price-wise but feature wise is much closer, and is very well suited for sports, from its zippy 6fps burst rate and top shutter speed of 1/8000 sec to such sports-friendly features as predictive focus tracking (it somehow knows where an active subject will move within the frame and keep focus locked on). Its top ISO is 25,000, and it is great at ISO 6400, which should be plenty freezing action at night games without compromising on image quality. I chose the Sigma 70-200 for its f/2.8 aperture, which remains consistent throughout the zoom range (and is faster than the nearest Nikon tele zoom), and matched 1.4x converter to bring the maximum focal range to 280mm (which is like 420mm on a 35mm sensor camera).
Pentax K5 $699
Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 DI LD (IF) Macro AF Zoom $769
Sigma 2X teleconverter for Pentax $249
Flashpoint FL2560 Carbon Fiber Monopod $79.95
Flashpoint F9 Compact Tripod Ball Head $43.95
Total Adorama Price: $2,001.90
Ruggedized against rain, dust and cold and built over a magnesium-alloy chassis, the Pentax K5 offers remarkable features for sports photographers, from its top ISO of 52,000 (that's no misprint) to its 7fps burst rate (in RAW; 22fps in JPEG) and built-in shake reduction and 11-point autofocus system. As with other cameras in this category it offers a motion-stopping 1/8000 sec top shutter speed; unlike the other models, it takes SDXC memory cards (I recommend a fast Class 10 card to take full advantage of the burst rate ). For the optics I chose a mash-up of the Tamron 70-200m f/2.8 for its constant aperture that doesn't change through the zoom range, paired with the Sigma 2X teleconverter, since that's the only one made for Pentax. Pentax deserves credit for making a camera that, in many ways, bests its "big two" competitors.
Sony SLT-A65 $698
Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G $1,998
Sony 2.0x tele converter $548
Flashpoint FL2560 Carbon Fiber Monopod $79.95
Flashpoint F9 Compact Tripod Ball Head $43.95
Total Adorama Price: $3,367.90
With its second generation translucent mirror technology, the Sony SLT-A65 still shoots at blazingly fast 10 frames per second but now at full 24.3MP resolution in continuous auto focus; the speed is helped by itsadvanced Exmor sensor technology. Here it is paired with the Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G SSM zoom ISO7020028G, a premium lens that, along with the Sony 2.0x tele converter ISO20TC $548, should level the playing field. Wanna upgrade? Consider the pricey but take-no-prisoners top-grade Sony 300mm f/2.8 ISO300F28G. As with other brands, I've also included a ballhead and tripod.

24 year old woman | Morrison, CO, USA | Seeking men 23-26 within 50 miles
Enlightened, Engaging, Entertaining the 3 E's for me Ellyn
I can only wink at the moment. Who am I? My name is Ellyn I am an upbeat, kind, caring, patient wise for my age loving woman. I'm figuring out my life as a young adult I'm currently working in an assisted senior living community. Where I care for elderly people, sometimes when they are on hospice, my job can be sad sometimes but most of the time it's rewarding.So if you want someone who knows how to be supportive and will love you for who you are good and bad it's me and I really mean that. I want to be an ICU or ER nurse, I'm looking into getting my Licensed Practical Nursing degree. I started volunteering on an ambulance when I was thirteen and fell in love with the medical field. At sixteen I took a first responder class, followed by a nurse's aide course and finally basic emergency medical technician. I'm a medical career nerd so if you're a medical worker it's just one more thing we have in common. What do I want out of a relationship? I need someone willing to have a mature adult relationship I don't expect 100% compatibility since there are traits I don't care for about myself. I am not religious but I want a soulmate: a person ideally suited to another as a close friend and romantic partner. I want someone to show me how beautiful love can be. I need a man to bring out the best in me and I would love to bring out the best in him That's the kind of girlfriend I will be. Let me show you how great I am. Since I wasn't raised religiously I don't intend to convert to any of the abrahamic religions. Forgive me I find abrahamic religions to be very insulting to women. As a woman, a sister and a daughter I believe women deserve to be treated equally period! Smoking is something I can't tolerate I have sensitive lungs. I don't care to choke on second hand smoke sorry but yuck can't do it. I am not in the best shape of my life but I'm getting healthier. I have a physical job that is working me hard. I'm a full figured woman, despite that I'm strong and enjoy hikes, for me all I have to do is walk out my front door. As long as I don't get seriously hurt I'll try new things but safety is a high priority for me. What can you expect on a first date? I'm not a prude I'm open to XOXO, just keep in mind I'm shy. Don't think I'm testing you, I'll be just getting to know you. I'll be honest dating is a new territory for me. I'm willing to give it a try after all it's great to have a partner to share life with. Just remember. My heart is open, especially when it comes to falling in love.

School has been an up hill battle for reasons I'll tell you about later. What got me through it was the desire for freedom, to make the world a better place, to be a better person, As far as I'm concerned I'll never stop learning & that's what I want

text: A week ago, attendees at Star Wars Celebration got the first glimpse of the first Star Wars Anthology film, named Rogue One. Director Gareth Edwards revealed that the film would be about the theft of the Death Star plans before the events of Episode IV, and showed a short teaser clip created by ILM specifically for the announcement. The clip, which has yet to be officially released by Lucasfilm (but for which bootleg copies were immediately uploaded to YouTube), showed the massive Death Star looming over the horizon of a forested planet. AICN writer and professional astronomer used screencaps of that footage to calculate the physics of that shot to assess it's "realism", and was subsequently contacted by effects legend John Knoll to walked through ILM's thinking behind that shot. Knoll's explanation is wonderfully geeky, and shows how much thought effects artists and engineers put into their work, beyond just the "wow" factor. It's the very best of sci-fi apologetics, from the behind-the-scenes technicians closest to canon. (h/t Gary Whitta)

Delhi gets musical
As the year comes to an end, the Capital is ready to witness some of the biggest music festivals in the country. With a host of artists performing under one roof, these festivals are striving to bridge the gap between international and local acts. And, most importantly, unlike an individual artist/band's concert, these concerts will have the audience groove to live music for hours together. Here are three such affairs to look forward to.
NH7 WeekenderOne of the most anticipated music festivals and a favourite of the music lovers — NH7 is a crowd favourite. The two-day festival focuses not only on music but appreciates other forms of art too. It will take place at the Buddh International Circuit, Greater Noida, and the attendees can browse through stalls offering a variety of clothes, quirky household products, party merchandise and a range of exciting accessories, among other things. There's also a PETA Youth stall, for those who would like to show their support to the NGO's efforts in spreading awareness about animal rights.
Nov 30 -Dec 1 Performing artists1. Kailasa2. Lucky ali3. Noori4. Mutemath5. Meshuggah6. Swaggamuffin7. Frame/Frame
Peace one day festivalThe festival is organised to celebrate World Peace Day (which was observed globally on September 21) and the message coming out of the festival is definitely of making music and not war. Peace One Day's objective is to institutionalise Peace Day on September 21, making it a day that is self-sustaining, an annual day of global unity and inter-cultural cooperation. To be held through out the day on November 23 at Zorba, (near Sultanpur Metro station), the first edition of the festival will be vibrant and experiential. The festival will see some very interesting acts being performed in Delhi.

SouthAsian Band FestivalNow in its seventh edition, the South Asian Band Festival has always had a cult following. Presented by Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) in collaboration with Ministry of External Affairs and SEHER, the three-day music festival, at Purana Qila, will feature 14 popular rock bands from across nine nations of the sub-continent. This year will see the participation of Korea, which is an observer country to SAARC. Another highlight is a students' band from Mumbai —What's In The Name, which was the winner of the rock bands competition at IIT Mumbai in 2012. Apart from this, the festival will feature multilingual folk-rock band, The Raghu Dixit project, and the legendary rock band from Pakistan, Strings.

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers couldn't find any answers in their blowout loss to the New York Giants Sunday night. Rodgers, 14 of 25 for 219 yards, one TD and one INT, was sacked 5 times, and New York's defense also forced and recovered a fumble before the half that basically spelled the end of the Packers in this game. The team is 7-4 and one game behind the NFC North leader Chicago Bears. Manning, on the other hand, looked as rest as rested can be after their bye last week. He was 16-of-30 passing for 249 yards and three touchdowns. "I never thought my arm was tired, never felt like it," Manning said, via ESPN. "After a week off, you come back to practice, it felt good, alive, balls coming out with a little pop on it." Ahmad Bradshaw looked to be healthy as well, although his foot issue has slowed him a little, with a combined 119 yards and a TD. Sunday night's win did come at a cost for the Giants, with RB Andre Brown breaking his leg. "It will be a tough loss, he is an important player," Eli said. "I feel bad for Andre. He's my little brother. It was heartbreaking just to see him so down," Bradshaw said. "It's a hard time for him but hopefully he can come back and maybe catch us in the playoffs."
