The Nikon D7000 is one of the most talked-about cameras of the year. With a new 39-point AF system and 2,016 pixel RGB metering sensor, can the D7000 live up to the hype? What Digital Camera's Nikon D7000 review finds out...
Nikon D7000 Review
Nikon D7000 review – Features
The Nikon D7000 is keen to stand apart from the older Nikon range as an all-new camera. Indeed, to dispel the myth of it being a D90 replacement, it's worth pointing out that both cameras will continue to run in the current Nikon range for the time being and the gap between one and the next is fairly considerable.
The Nikon D7000 adopts a new 16.2-megapixel CMOS sensor, suggesting that the megapixel count for DSLR cameras is clearly still on the rise. The APS-C size of the sensor means the usual 1.5x magnification applies (i.e. 18mm is the same as 27mm in a full-frame 35mm equivalent). Paired up with the Expeed 2 image processing engine, the D7000 also boasts Nikon's latest hardware for speedy processing and the capability to expand the already well-specified ISO 100-6400 sensitivity to a top-end Hi2 setting – the equivalent of ISO 25,600.
For those looking to reel off bursts of images in continuous shooting mode, the D7000 offers a pleasing 6fps. Considered in the context against the Nikon D300s's 7fps, and side by side to the Canon 60D's 5.3fps, this is a well-specified offering that will prove tempting to those enthusiasts looking for speed as well as resolution and all-round capability.
It's not just still images where the Nikon D7000 comes well equipped either: the ability to capture Full HD 1080p video at 24 frames per second sees off much of the competition thanks to its progressive capture.
Elsewhere there's an all-new 2,016 pixel RGB metering module and a brand new 39-point AF system with nine cross-type sensors, dubbed the Multi-CAM 4800DX.
The rear of the camera has a fixed 3in, 920k-dot LCD screen and a viewfinder sat above this gives a full 100% field-of-view to ensure that exactly what you frame by eye is what you capture.
To store your images there are twin SD card slots that can be utilised simultaneously or user-defined to operate in an overflow or stills/video format. It's interesting to see the omission of a CF card slot, which seems to now be exclusively reserved for more pro-grade models.
Nikon D7000 review – Design
Although a fair amount behind the scenes is new, the look and feel of the D7000 is still very much a Nikon at heart.
The camera's layout comprises a light-up display panel to the top right, with a mode dial and surrounding drive mode dial to the opposite left hand side. To adjust the drive mode a small button requires pressing to release the dial lock – this can prove a little fiddly despite a raised, textured edge, yet is no different to previous Nikon body designs.
For control of most key options the D7000 adopts a dual thumbwheel system, which makes quick-adjusting manual controls a breeze. Both thumbwheels are well positioned on the front and rear right-hand side of the camera and fall well to the hand.
On the rear is the main LCD screen centerpiece and, although there seems to be demand for vari-angle screens of late, the D7000 opts for a traditional fixed-screen. The viewfinder above this has a 0.94 magnification and as such is fairly large to the eye but would benefit from a more pronounced eye cup to fully seal off external light and lock around the eye more smoothly.
A plethora of function-type buttons around the camera body also come good in use: to the front left side of the flash is a BKT (bracket) button; a Depth of Field Preview button is to the front of the camera by the lens base; the Fn (Function) button can be found above this to the top right of the lens; exposure compensation and metering selection have their own individual buttons next to the shutter release; and three of the four main buttons to the rear left can be pressed and held for further quick adjustment of the major options. In short, you're never far from quick and easy control.
Nikon D7000 review – Performance
The D7000's entirely new 39-point AF system will be the clincher for many when considering purchase as it really raises the complexity at your disposal and it's a far more advanced system than the Nikon D90 had to offer. As per the 51-point Multi-CAM 3500DX AF system found in the D300s and above, the D7000's new Multi-CAM 4800DX system is highly customiseable, albeit with fewer available points and has nine cross-type sensors rather than the 15 found in the Multi-CAM 3500DX system.
The AF button to the bottom left front-side of camera can be held and the rear and front thumbwheels then control the autofocus mode (AF-S, AF-C, AF-A) and AF Area within that mode. At its most advanced the latter provides the option to choose between 3D tracking, Auto (using full array of AF points), single point selection, centre nine-point array, centre 21-point array and wide AF. Although having more available AF points is great for subject tracking, a secondary 11-point array is also available should this better suit your shooting style. The main menu also provides yet more specific detail to control whether capture can take place in absolute focus or when the shutter is pressed, plus there's a five-point level to adjust the sensitivity of focus tracking (to avoid unnecessarily quick refocusing if a closer subject passes the frame for example), a focus point wrap-around and AF illumination control. In short this is approaching pro-spec control in a more mid-level enthusiast body and the results are fantastic across the board.
In fact the only slight let down is the 18-105mm lens that's outclassed by the camera body for the simple reason it doesn't produce the fastest possible response. Attach another lens (in this test a 24-70mm f/2.8) and the speedier, smooth and swift adjustment during focusing is an immediate additional benefit.
Switch the D7000 into its live view mode using the switch on the rear to the top left of the screen and autofocus speed shifts fairly dramatically downhill however. As great as live view is to have, there have been some fairly dramatic third party revelations during the last year in the form of Sony's Quick AF Live View and Single Lens Translucent technologies. As such the D7000's live view AF feels a little plodding – though that's only by comparison. Realistically, even the Canon 60D and similar-specified cameras won't provide a superior solution in this department. However, on the up side, the AF-area on the rear of the screen can be moved edge-to-edge for dramatically accurate focus across the frame. Face Priority, Wide-Area AF, Normal-area AF and Subject-tracking AF comprise the four available focus options. Add to this significant magnification possibilities for fine focus and, given the context of what it's designed to be used for, the D7000 is ideal for shooting still life or landscape work.
With LCD screen resolutions increasing and more commonly found upwards of the one million dot mark, the D7000's 3in, 920k-dot screen may not be pushing any boundaries but it's perfectly adept for preview and playback. Should more detail assessment be required then a quick zoom in using the left-hand buttons can promptly assess the finer levels of detail.
The D7000's viewfinder provides 100% field of view horizontally and vertically, meaning that what you see in the frame is precisely what you'll get in the final image. There's even a horizontal virtual horizon feature that, when activated, utilises a +/- display at the bottom of your view to assist in straightening up shots.
Power comes from the brand new EN-EL15 li-ion battery and a single charge lasts for a very long time indeed. In fact It was possible to shoot some 50 minutes of movie clips in addition to 500 still (Raw + JPEG) images, including long exposures and the use of a variety of autofocus and live view modes, plus a considerable amount of preview and playback. Shooting stills alone, it's possible to shoot several hundred frames.
Elsewhere the 6fps continuous shooting mode makes the D7000 pretty nippy. It may be marginally slower than the D300s's 7fps capability, but the difference is relatively negligible. When shooting JPEG fine it was possible to shoot 100 frames (the max continuous release option) without delay on a single still subject, while a moving subject provided subtle delay for the autofocus to catch up and shoot. It's only when shooting Raw that things slow down a little, as Raw + JPEG Fine maxed out at 11 frames before a brief pause, showing some slight limitation to the buffer's capacity.
Image Quality
Nikon D7000 review – Image Quality
Nikon D7000 – Tone & Exposure
The brand new 2,016 RGB pixel sensor does a reasonable job of metering, though with the mid-shadow areas generally exposed for there were a number of instances when the camera drifted towards overexposure. This was present even in a number of scenes that wouldn't usually fall victim to such circumstances, and so the availability of a +/-5 EV exposure compensation came in handy on a number of occasions.
As well as evaluative metering, a centre weighted and spot metering option are available and the size of the centre spot is size-adjustable through the menu system.
Nikon D7000 – RAW vs JPEG
Nikon's View NX2 is included in the box to view and process Raw files.
The results between Raw & JPEG are fairly subtle, with the apparent detail in both mightily similar. The main difference is that the JPEG files seem to have a mid-tone 'push' that lifts the exposure slightly.
Nikon D7000 – Colour & White Balance
Colour is fairly typical of the way many Nikon DSLRs perform, with a lean towards a warmer red/yellow cast in the majority of situations. The Auto White Balance is consistent, though can struggle under artificial fluorescent light where images can appear excessively yellow. This is a particular issue for studio work, whereby it's best to manually set the white balance or select from one of the fixed-temperature presets as applicable.
Nikon D7000 – ISO Sensitivity & Image Noise
With a high 16.2MP resolution, the general lack of image noise throughout the ISO range is an impressive feat to behold. There's a great clarity to images from ISO 100-800 and, although colour and some luminance noise becomes noticeable hereafter, it's not wildly disruptive to final quality. In fact, even images at ISO 3200 produce a grain-like quality that provides a good textured quality to prints. ISO 6400 is the top-end setting (at a push) for more critical use as colour noise reveals itself more in the shadow areas, and the Hi1 and Hi2 ISO 12,800-25,600 options should be strictly used for emergencies as softness through noise reduction can be problematic.
Nikon D7000 – Sharpness & Detail
The 16.2MP sensor is highly resolute and images are impressively detailed. The 18-105mm lens exhibits familiar issues as per other wide-mid zooms, such as barrel distortion, though the overall results are adequate. It's when attaching a more advanced lens that yet more can be yielded from the sensor.
Only the higher ISO sensitivities slightly soften images, though this only becomes apparent from ISO 1600 where a subtle shift is noticeable, though the Hi1 and Hi2 settings are fairly detrimental to fine detail due to noise reduction.
Movie Mode & Quality
Nikon D7000 review – Movie Mode
Nikon D7000 – Quality
There aren't a huge number of other models out there that can boast the same Full HD 1080p movie capture as the D7000 can, given that the majority of the competition offer an inferior interlaced capture.
Using the H.264 compression type, the D7000's files appear in the MOV format (Quicktime) straight from camera which makes for less work than some AVCHD-types that require processing prior to use.
1080p is captured at 24fps with around a 24Mbps bitrate (though this is variable) to provide smooth, cinematic-like quality with limited compression. High ISO work even looked good, though above standard sensitivity did cause some flickering issues with fluorescent lighting.
Nikon D7000 – Record Time
The three available PAL options – 1080p at 24fps, 720p at 24 or 25fps and 640×424 at 25fps – are all restricted to a maximum capture time of 20mins per clip.
Nikon D7000 – Focusing modes
As movie mode captures during live view mode, the focusing modes are restricted to Face Priority, Wide-area AF, Normal-area AF and Subject-tracking AF. The AF point on the rear of the screen can be moved during recording using the d-pad in order to adjust where focus will be taken if desired.
There are three focus possibilities: AF-S for single autofocus where the shutter needs to be half depressed to refocus; AF-F for full time autofocus where the camera automatically focuses depending on the subject and/or AF-point positioning; and manual focus where the lens focus ring can be used to attain focus.
It's also worth noting that when framing there are crop marks in live view that show where the movie will be captured. As the full width of the sensor is used for capture, however, no irritating cropping is present when pressing the record button (crop marks considered, of course).
Nikon D7000 – Manual Control
It's possible to shoot movies using any of the available modes on the top dial, though as the frame rate is fixed the camera will over-ride any priority setting that would over- or underexpose the final shot. The ISO setting can be adjusted in any applicable mode in an attempt to compensate for this as desired, though it's only Manual mode that provides full exposure control.
Nikon D7000 – Sound
The D7000 uses Linear PCM (essentially the carrier format as found in Compact Disc audio), with a 16bit stereo, 48000Hz sample rate. In short: the sound is captured in 'CD quality' from either the camera body or by utilising the 3.5mm microphone jack for an external microphone (sold separately). The sound captured is very clean, crisp and clear, and doesn't suffer from any normalizing to attempt to compensate for quiet speech and similar quiet scenarios.
Value & Verdict
Nikon D7000 review – Value
Price is just as critical as any other element and the D7000's initial RRP is towards the top-end. To explain: Canon's 7D plus 18-135mm lens available for around £100 more and Canon's highly competitive 60D is some hundreds of pounds cheaper at the time of writing. The price balance scale could tilt either way depending on preference of specific features (screen vs autofocus for example) and there are even other options such as the Pentax K-5 or weather-proofed Olympus E-5 for similar prices. This isn't to challenge its worth however: the D7000 easily feels like more than a grand's worth of camera in the hand.
Nikon D7000 review – Verdict
The D7000 is an absolutely exceptional DSLR that, although categorised under Nikon's 'consumer' bracket, offers a lot of pro-like specification. There's a lot out there to compete with, not least that Canon's 7D can be found for a few hundred pounds more, and the D7000 does a good job of balancing between consumer and pro. Its part magnesium, part polycarbonate body is testament to this.
The new 39-point AF system is fantastic, the images are of exceptional quality right into the high ISO setting and the only slight drawbacks are the relatively high price point, fairly shallow buffer for Raw shooting and slight overexposure in unexpected circumstances.
Otherwise the D7000 succeeds in carving out a new niche in the DSLR category and provides bags of power for the money.

OCLC recently took some important steps toward increasing the availability of the cooperative's data for libraries and people around the world through linked data and data licensing recommendations.
Linked data
Libraries are increasingly exploring linked data as a way to make their bibliographic records available for free, on the Internet, so that they can be reused and more fully integrated into the broader Web environment. Linked data is meant for machine-to-machine consumption.
These linked data initiatives also build on alliances that OCLC began fostering as early as 2005 through WorldCat.org with Google, Microsoft, Yahoo! and others, such as HathiTrust.
In the past year, OCLC has been making the following available as linked data:
Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC)—a full set of more than 38,000 assignable numbers and captions in English, available at the Dewey.info prototype for linked DDC data on the Web, which will assist developers working on apps as well as people who want to look up Dewey numbers
Faceted Application of Subject Terminology (FAST)—a subject heading schema, created through a multiyear collaboration of OCLC Research and the Library of Congress to make the rich Library of Congress Subject Headings vocabulary available in a Web environment
Virtual International Authority File (VIAF)—a combination of multiple name authority files from 22 national libraries and agencies from 19 countries into a single name authority service.
On June 20, 2012, OCLC began to add Schema.org descriptive mark up to WorldCat.org pages. Schema.org is a collaboration among Bing, Google, Yahoo! and Yandex (a Russian search engine) that has created a system model for efficient harvesting of structured data from the Web.
Making the entire publicly available version of WorldCat available for use by intelligent Web crawlers such as Google and Bing will raise the visibility of library resources and ultimately increase their availability. This is indeed an important advance for OCLC members, made possible by experience from previous linked data projects such as VIAF, Dewey Linked Data and FAST.
These linked data initiatives also build on alliances that OCLC began fostering as early as 2005 through WorldCat.org with Google, Microsoft, Yahoo! and others, such as HathiTrust.
In June 2012, we welcomed Max Klein to OCLC as "Wikipedian in Residence." He is a Wikipedia editor and is working with OCLC researchers to explore ways that authoritative library data from WorldCat and VIAF can be integrated into entries in Wikipedia.
Most recently, OCLC released a downloadable linked data set for the 1.2 million most widely held works in WorldCat (those with at least 250 holdings). This file is now available to the wider linked data community of commercial providers, retail organizations, researchers and scholars to include in their workflows.
We will continue to look for ways to both encourage contribution to the WorldCat database and increase the availability of these valuable records for libraries and their users.
A recommended license for sharing catalog data
During the process of researching the above linked data initiatives, OCLC management has looked into different data licenses on OCLC and WorldCat data projects and consulted with the library and developer communities. At the April 2012 OCLC Global Council meeting, OCLC management had extensive discussions with delegates on an approach involving the Open Data Commons Attribution License (ODC-BY). The Council passed a resolution that endorsed that approach and forwarded it to the OCLC Board of Trustees for further study.
In August, the Board announced that it recommends the ODC-BY for member institutions that would like to release their library catalog data on the Web. ODC-BY is a database specific license requiring attribution for databases, similar to the Creative Commons Attribution license, but built specifically for sharing data.
This approach lets libraries use WorldCat-derived data in a way that is consistent with the record use policy, "WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative." Data can be freely shared subject only to attribution and OCLC's request that those making use of WorldCat-derived data conform to the community norms.
Moreover, in September, Europeana (Europe's digital library, archive and museum) and OCLC announced an agreement whereby OCLC member libraries can contribute WorldCat derived metadata to the Europeana.eu portal in a manner consistent with "WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative."
Going forward, we will continue to look for ways to both encourage contribution to the WorldCat database and increase the availability of these valuable records for libraries and their users.

Prosecutors have cleared a Madison police officer who shot and killed Paul Heenan last month of any criminal wrongdoing.
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne released a statement Thursday saying a homeowner awoke to find his neighbor, Heenan, in his house on Nov. 9.
The homeowner's wife called Madison police, reporting a home burglary. It was later discovered Heenan, 30, was new to the neighborhood and attempted entering the wrong house. Heenan had been drinking and was confused, according to police.
Prosecutors said Heenan had a blood-alcohol content of 0.208 percent.
"I don't believe this could happen to just anyone. People every day in our community are intoxicated. Yet they still don't go up to people's homes and open doors in the middle of the night. That doesn't happen," Ozanne said.
Officer Stephen Heimsness arrived at the scene with his weapon drawn.
"The reality is law enforcement was responding to a burglary in progress. This is a felony situation where you had people home in the house, calling, with children," Ozanne said.
Ozanne said Heimsness saw two men in a physical struggle on the sidewalk near 513 S. Baldwin St. and he recognized one of the men as the husband of the woman who had reported the break-in.
According to Ozanne's statement, Heimsness and the homeowner said Heenan charged Heimsness, who had his gun drawn and was giving commands for Heenan to get on the ground.
The officer said there was a struggle and he thought Heenan was trying to grab his gun and he fired because he feared for his life.
Heimsness fired three shots after getting distance between him and Heenan, according to Ozanne.
Ozanne concluded Heimsness didn't violate any statutes. The prosecutor said anyone who believes he or she faces a genuine threat of deadly force can respond with deadly force.
The homeowner told police he believed Heenan was drunk and he was attempting to take him to his house down the street. He said Heenan had come at him and was pushing him backwards.
Ozanne said evidence, including witness statements, officer statements, physical evidence, State Crime Lab findings and Medical Examiner findings are consistent with each other.
Attorney Jeff Scott Olson, who is representing the Heenan family, said the family is considering a civil suit.
"I wasn't surprised at all (by the district attorney's conclusion). It's a very rare case where there's strong enough evidence that a public prosecutor feels he has proof beyond a reasonable doubt of criminal liability," Olson said.
Olson said he doesn't agree that there was an immediate threat.
"Heimsness was able to separate himself from Mr. Heenan and achieve five or six feet of separation before he shot him. It doesn't say (Heenan) was advancing on him a second time when he was shot," Olson said.
Olson said now that the police reports will be publicly available, he looks forward to going through them, and he and the family will make a decision soon on whether or not they'll move forward with a civil case.
Ozanne also found the Madison Police Department conducted a thorough and objective investigation that is ongoing.
Madison police told WISC-TV the results of their internal investigation into whether Heimsness violated department policies in the shooting could be available late next week. Heimsness would not be reinstated until after the internal investigation, if he's cleared.
Dan Frei, president of the Madison Professional Police Officers Association, said while the Madison Police Department's investigation is internal, it should be trusted.
"If you have the trust in our police department to conduct those investigations every day, then you should have that same level of trust in something like this -- that we're going to use the same degree of professionalism and responsibility in this that we would in any other investigation," Frei said.
A Madison Police Department spokesman couldn't say Thursday whether the department would consider a third-party investigator in the future.

Are you sure it's released on vinyl?
I believe it is. I think I saw it on Discogs, for more than I cared to pay, many months ago but I haven't seen it since. It's one of my favorite films + some of the tracks on there, mainly the ones Jay Electronica looped up for "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," are absolutely amazing. Jon Brion is extremely talented.

I'm pretty sure most OSTs these days are not pressed to vinyl. I may be wrong about this particular release, but if you've checked all those sites you might be SOL.

Dude....I said I wasn't looking for the record, C'mon man, I'm pretty sure I own at least 6 copies of that record. Once again I'm looking for the Multi-Track Masters to that album not the record. I heard they are out there, but I don't know where to find them. I was hoping someone here would know. But I guess not.
Thes One is said to have a copy, so is the Biz Markie. But even then, it's disputed whether or not either of them actually have it. Or if a playable copy still exists.

A Plague of Grasshoppers on Figueroa?
Recently, our garden staff has been finding LOADS of grasshoppers, but what are they all doing here? Are grasshoppers good for our gardens, or are they destructive like the plague of locusts (a swarming variety of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae) that appear in the Bible?
On November 14, I snapped a decent picture of a grasshopper hanging out on a pitcher sage plant, Lepechinia fragrans. I thought I'd have a crack at identifying it, and hoped that, through the process, I'd be able to figure out what exactly they're doing in the garden.
Not a bad picture for my camera phone!...

2 Nights Live 2012
The Chicago Theatre – Chicago, IL
All Photos by Paul Weber
Creed is:
Scott Stapp – lead vocals
Mark Tremonti – lead & rhythm guitars, backing vocals
Brian Marshall – bass
Scott Phillips – drums
Creed doesn't have a new album out yet, but that hasn't stopped them from hitting the road. Scott Stapp, Mark, Brian, and Scott Phillips decided to get back together to tour earlier this year. This reunion is the second go-around since their 2004 separation. The last time was back in 2009 with their 4th studio album, Full Circle, which was accompanied by a tour that ran into 2010. Both parties have kept busy during Creed's downtime as Mark, Brian, and Scott Phillips formed Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy and as Alter Bridge released their first album, One Day Remains, back in 2004. Stapp released his first solo album, The Great Divide, in 2005. He also recorded a second solo album, but it appears to be currently shelved as Scott and Mark have been writing new material for Creed.
Last night was night two of Creed's kick off to their 2 Nights Live tour. The tour continues through late August at the Alaska State Fair and includes a stop for the rock fest, Rocklahoma. The festival and fair stops will be anybody's guess as to what they will play, but the first night at the Chicago Theatre on Friday covered the entire My Own Prison album plus a few other goodies from Human Clay and Weathered. Night two featured Human Clay from beginning to end with some of their biggest hits from My Own Prison including "One," "My Own Prison," and "Torn" and they capped off the night with "My Sacrifice." The set was a huge flashback to 1999, which included Scott growing his trademark hair back.
The stage had amazing back lighting that was appropriate for a rock band making a comeback, yet neither Scott nor Mark really talked much between songs. Actually, Mark didn't say anything at all and Scott only introduced a couple of the songs. This wasn't so much a bad thing; I was expecting more of a VH1 Storytellers' vibe but it was still entertaining to see them play the album straight through. For "Say I" Scott said, "This was the inspiration to the album's name. It took us away to another place." He also remarked right before "Wash Away the Years" that his sister inspired the song. The entire night was semi-surreal. With eyes closed it really felt like someone hit play on jukebox as Scott nailed each of the songs. He didn't stray too much from the original lyrics or arrangements.
Even though the band hails from Florida, Chicago has accepted both Creed and Alter Bridge alike as one of their own. Magic happens when Tremonti and the crew come to town, yet there was a bit of doubt as to the success of this two night residency. Scott's history in Chicago has been a shaky one that included fans demanding refunds due to his less than tolerable behavior on stage. Last night Scott proved himself to be as strong as ever and the crowd opened their arms to Creed, showing that everything that happened in the past is all just water under the Alter Bridge. Hopefully Creed fans will soon see a new studio album with original songs from the original band members!

History books are full of grisly details about who got stabbed, what town got burned to the ground, and which kings married their cousins -- so imagine the stuff that gets edited out. Or, you know, read about it in this article instead. As part of our continuing quest to tell you the stuff your teachers didn't want you to know, here are some gruesome and little-known addenda to some of the most famous moments in history.
6The Man Who Tried to Save Lincoln Went All The Shining on His Family
National Archives and Records Administration
You've probably seen this illustration a hundred times, but can you name everyone in it?
Library of Congress
The Illuminati members behind the curtain don't count.
That's obviously John Wilkes Booth on the right, followed by Abraham Lincoln going, "But I wanna know what happens next! D'aww ..." and first lady Mary T, but unless you're a history buff you probably don't know that the other two are Union Army Major Henry Rathbone and his wife, Clara Harris, daughter of a prominent U.S. senator. Rathbone is best known for trying to stop Booth and getting a piece of that dagger you see up there for his trouble, and not so much for the Kubrick-esque horror that his life later spiraled into.
Rathbone was seriously injured while attending the most disastrous double date in history, and though he physically survived the attack, his mind never recovered. The officer blamed himself for failing to stop Booth, and even though he eventually married Clara two years later, wedded life only added to his insanity.
National Archives and Records Administration
Love couldn't cure all. They'd have blamed Hollywood, but it didn't exist yet.
Eventually, Rathbone's mind deteriorated to the point that on Dec. 23, 1883, he decided to deck the halls with his family's blood. While serving as a U.S. consul in Hanover, Germany, Rathbone tried to kill his three kids, and when his wife stopped him, he fatally shot and stabbed her, then stabbed himself -- mentally replaying Booth's actions from 18 years earlier.
The police found Rathbone covered with blood and completely out of his mind. According to a widely repeated but unconfirmed report, he claimed that there were people hiding behind the pictures on his wall.
There were, but it wasn't clear why that justified murder.
Rathbone spent the rest of his life in a lunatic asylum, where he complained of secret machines in the walls blowing gas into his room and giving him headaches. He died in 1911, becoming the last casualty of the Lincoln assassination nearly half a century after the fact. Incidentally, the house in Hanover where he lived is looking for a caretaker! This could be a new start for us, Wendy.
5Syphilitic "Zombies" Wandered the Streets of Italy During the High Renaissance
National Museum of Health & Medicine
When most people picture the High Renaissance, they probably imagine Italian folks in posh clothes admiring the works of da Vinci, Michelangelo, and others. What they do not usually picture is this:
Albrecht Durer
"Naw, man, I'm clean. Now hurry up, I got other clients."
Yes, while Renaissance Florence may have been a good place for the arts (and parkour, if Assassin's Creed II is to be believed), at the same time, Italy experienced something more closely akin to a zombie movie during the first major outbreak of syphilis in 1494. Yeah, before antibiotics, this particular STD was less "secret shame" and more "literally rots your fucking face off." According to one description, the disease (which may have been carried over from New World cooters to Naples bumholes via French dongs) "caused flesh to fall from people's faces, and led to death within a few months." More specifically, the outbreak caused "the complete destruction of the lips, others of the nose, and others of all their genitals."
Meaning, it was not out of place to see victims shambling around who had lost "hands, feet, eyes, and noses to the disease." So if today's Renaissance fairs were accurate, about half the people would look like Walking Dead extras.
Hemera Technologies/Photos.com/Getty Images
As though we needed another reason to want to shoot them.
As horrifying as the thought of having undead genitalia may seem, the worst part is actually the phrase "within a few months" -- that means that the afflicted somehow lived for months in this condition, the whole time screaming with pain as their flesh "was eaten away, in some cases down to the bone." Which is appropriate, because "the bone" is why you get syphilis in the first place.
In short, for a brief period during the time of the great Renaissance masters, it was common to see people, never mind a whole army of Frenchmen, walking around with their faces falling off their exposed skulls until they finally dropped dead. Why the fuck wasn't this in Assassin's Creed II?

Freedom Newspapers
LOGAN — A bridge on U.S. 54 near Logan is one of four steel-truss bridges in New Mexico that will undergo a comprehensive inspection, Gov. Bill Richardson announced Thursday.
The bridges are built similar to the one that collapsed Wednesday on 1-35 in Minneapolis, which resulted in four deaths, 79 injured and at least 30 people missing.
"In light of the bridge collapse in Minneapolis, I'm ordering the Department of Transportation to take proactive steps to ensure our bridges are safe," said Richardson in the release.
The U.S. 54 bridge is just east of the village of Logan's city limits and crosses the Canadian River. The route is used by thousands of vacationers and residents to get to Ute Lake, and is a main connector throughout the Midwest.
"I'm all for it," said Logan City Manager Larry Wallin. "I just came across it 10 minutes ago. We're all for it because of public safety concerns."
The Logan bridge was opened in June 1954.
A June 1954 Tucumcari Daily News report called the bridge a "modern, well-constructed structure between 70 and 75 feet high and more than 700 feet long." It replaced a "rickety, one-way structure which was the scene of more than one fatal accident throughout the years," the News reported.
The Logan bridge was renovated about eight to 10 years ago, Wallin said.
The location of the three other bridges in New Mexico to be inspected are:
• I-25 near Nogales Canyon (Northbound and Southbound)
• U.S. 64 Gorge Bridge near Taos
• U.S. 64 near Shiprock
New Mexico already has an inspection program that identifies bridges in need of repairs or replacement every two years. When necessary, additional inspections are done and action is taken on bridges identified as deficient, Richardson said.
Transportation Secretary Rhonda Faught assured New Mexicans that the state's bridges are safe.
"If we have even a slightest of doubts on the structural integrity of a bridge, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure we do not endanger public safety," she said. "If we determine if a bridge is not safe, we either post weight restrictions or we shut it down."
Department of Transportation spokesman S.U. Mahesh said the inspections should be completed within a week.

Well, back when it was just 4 people that wouldn't have been such a risky prospect but now IV has 10+ people to support so suddenly the risk is higher. It's not a matter of evolving into something different its more like being a parent - you have people who depend on you now so you can't just go out do what you want.

Acer XF Fairway Wood - Custom Assembled
Base Price $54.95Versatility in a great looking and even greater performing fairway wood is just one word to describe the Acer XF. The semi-shallow pear shape will appeal to a wide array of players from beginners to professionals. Each XF fairway uses our exclusive variable crown thickness for ultimate weight distribution, superior balance and unbelievable performance, while the variable face thickness provides an incredible sound and feel at impact.The XF is also available in various lofts that give players options, including a 4-wood for players looking to consolidate clubs in their bag to make room for a more needed club to fill a void and provide better course management skills. Plus the 4 and 7-wood combination make great companions to the higher lofted driver options.Comes with FREE Headcover! Learn More
Model# XFM1172
Acer XS Fairway Wood - Custom Assembled
Base Price $59.95Golf Tips Magazine gave The Acer XS Fairway Woods a "Best Buy" award in their 2013 Annual Buyer's Guide. Golf Tips said "Wow Factor: As usual, these woods are value-minded, but that doesn't mean they skimp on performance. They're both really long and forgiving." Far from ordinary, the Acer XS is a high-performance series of fairway woods featuring a forged body coupled with a very thin, high-strength forged face for explosive distance, sound and feel at impact. This midsized design is highly functional off of the ground or the tee as the forging process allow freedom in reducing thickness in the crown so we can maintain a lower center of gravity without sacrificing face height. Comes with Free Acer headcover! Learn More
Model# XFCMC1264
Acer XV Fairway Wood - Custom Assembled
Base Price $64.95The Acer XV fairways woods feature cup-face construction or where part of the faceplate wraps around and becomes incorporated into the sole, crown and skirt area of the head. This pushes the weld back away from the actual face so the areas around the perimeter could be made thinner creating more face deflection for higher ball speeds to areas other than the center of the face. Even when you miss-hit the ball, the XV with cup-face technology provides you that extra spring-like effect for longer shots. These also feature the same Power Chamber as the matching driver. In addition, these low profile heads coupled with the Gravity Port moved toward the face promotes a higher launch with lower spin. Learn More
Model# XPB7334FW
Powerbilt Citation Tour Fairway Woods - Custom Assembled
Base Price $122.95The Powerbilt Citation Tour fairway woods are engineered with several technologies which work in harmony to assist hitting the ball from the fairway and launching the ball further.

The Recoil Zone boosts ball speeds for Powerbilt's hottest fairway series ever by increasing energy transfer to the ball. Rear weight port optimized launch conditions while the volume, height and shape inspire confidence from either fairway or tee. Learn More
Model# XM900T61B
Synchron Vespa Fairway Wood - Custom Assembled
Base Price $51.95Re-designed from our most popular fairway wood series ever, the dual rails will cut through the most difficult rough, but still easy to hit from hard pan lies due to the shallow face height and low center of gravity. Learn More

Meet Scout! Scout is about 2 years old, neutered, and has short white hair with gray markings. Scout is one handsome man just waiting for his purr-fect human! He is sweet, snuggly and loves to cuddle. This friendly man knows all about unconditional love and can't wait to be the best part of your day! He'll be content greeting you at the door and cuddling up on your lap for a nice relaxing evening in front of the TV! Scout prefers a laid-back life and is looking for a quiet home. He should do fine with children but will likely prefer a home with older children who will know when he's in the mood for some quiet time. Scout should do well in a home with other pets but would likely prefer quiet, well-mannered pets like himself. Scout is looking for someone to believe in him and give him a chance...might that someone be you?

In 2015, for the fourth year in a row, the Phillies partnered with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and TreePhilly in their effort to Plant One Million.
Plant One Million is an ambitious multi-state tree-planting campaign, encompassing 13 counties in southeastern Pennsylvania and parts of New Jersey and Delaware.
The goal is to increase the "tree canopy cover" - the area of land shaded by trees - in the tri-state area to 30%, the greatest coverage in more than a century, by planting one million trees by 2020. The campaign has planted more than 500,000 trees so far.
Trees can increase property values and retail sales, reduce energy costs, flooding, and crime rates, improve air and water quality, and enhance the overall health and quality of life for local residents.
Each spring the Phillies provide fans with the chance to get involved in Plant One Million - a regional partnership led by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) to plant one million trees throughout 13 counties in southeastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
In the spring of 2015, along with PHS, we were proud to offer a limited number of complimentary trees to our fans. Tree distribution took place on Saturday, May 9 at the PHS Warehouse at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Please check back next spring for 2016 information - you must be registered in advance in order to receive a free tree!

Fiscal insanity continuesJanuary 08,2013
So the fiscal cliff has been averted. Another great deal has been made by Congress for the American people. Forty-one dollars in tax hikes for every $1 in spending cuts. That ought to solve our deficit problem. Actually, its still adding to it. Just how long do the big-spending progressive socialists think they can keep this shell game going? The United States borrows 47 cents out of every dollar it spends. Does anyone realize how absolutely ludicrous this is? Entitlements are out of control. Should people get the Social Security and Medicare theyve paid for? Absolutely, but how many realize the Medicare benefits the average retiree is promised is five times what they paid in? How can this be? Politicians make promises they cant keep to get votes, and our representatives are no exception. We have a welfare system that rewards people for having children they cant afford, and then rewards them again for having more. Generations of welfare recipients have made a career of collecting welfare (i.e., money other people have earned) with no intentions of trying to find a job. The bottom line is that this is all unsustainable. What will the U.S. government do when the interest alone on our debt exceeds our GDP? Were closer to that tipping point than they would have you believe. Its time for hard decisions, decisions that will be widely unpopular, and those decisions should not be to push this burden onto our children. Whether they will admit it or not, this is what the American progressive movement voted for in November unsustainable deficit spending on a self-destructive entitlement program that is ruining our economy and society. Oh, and the Constitution outlines what the federal government is authorized to spend money on national defense (yes, progressives, thats the military) and infrastructure. Everything else is a power grab. Wake up, America!

It is one of Oahu's most popular and scenic spots, but it is also at the top of a deadly list as the island's No. 1 place for drowning.
Click here to watch Paul Drewes' report.
The surf is up and so is the level of alert by lifeguards over the dangers of bigger waves. Surfers can get in over their heads and need to be rescued. There has even been some notable big wave deaths before, but for the most part, big waves are not usually deadly.
"Big waves do present a challenge for people who are unfamiliar with the breaks or the currents, but the data shows when the surf is flat or really small is when people are perishing," said Jim Howe, the Ocean Safety chief of operations.
At calm and tranquil places like Haunama Bay, thousands come every day to see colorful fish and abundant sea life in the crystal-clear waters. Many put on a mask and fins to snorkel for a closer look - some even for the first time.
"I've done it once before and enjoyed it. I brought my wife with me to see if I can get her to try it out as well," said Hickam resident George Truini.
"It is very simple to do, you're just basically floating on top of the water," said Ohio resident John Garchar.
But Howe said that thinking is wrong.
"People think snorkeling is benign, you just float. Snorkeling is quite strenuous," Howe said.
Small waves, currents and unfamiliar equipment can make the activity more challenging. For lifeguards, the challenge is spotting a drowning victim from the hundreds of people already floating face down in the water.
"There is no yelling, no screaming, no sign of distress. They just stop in the water and that's a tough signal when you have all these people out there and you are trying to keep track of them all," said Howe.
Snorkeling and swimming are the two most common activities of drowning victims. So far this year, four people have died snorkeling at Haunama Bay. Nine people have died snorkeling there over the past five years as well.
The latest drownings did not happen in the deep part of the bay, but instead in very shallow waters.
"Those victims were in 3 feet of water or less. They could have stood up," said Howe.
He added more lifeguards would not make much of a difference, but educating visitors might.
In about two weeks, City and County of Honolulu personnel will start up an online program using social media to teach foreign visitors about Hawaii's hazards and show them what they can do to stay safe in the water.

Rearranging on-air assignments at WTMJ-TV
Onair changes at WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) have been subtle while occurring in plain sight.
Eagle-eyed viewers have pointed out several shifts in personnel assignments and one departure. The changes have occurred since the arrival of news director Janet Hundley in June. Hundley replaced Bill Berra, who was WTMJ news director for nine years.

Last night's Packers score matched the game's TV ratings
The number of points scored by the Green Bay Packers last night was also - almost - the highest ratings number the game achieved.
At its ratings peak, the game, in which the Packers beat the Chicago Bears, 55-14, earned a 54.2. Shouldn't George Webb's give out hamburgers or something?
It's no surprise the tremendous interest in the Packers' age-old rivalry with the Chicago Bears drove ratings for the NBC telecast of the game through the roof. »Read Full Blog Post
Ratings drama at Saga, Weigel stations
You can't tell the players without a scorecard, and a station can't tell who's watching or listening without knowing the ratings.
For years, Saga Communications stations in Milwaukee - including WKLH-FM (96.5) and WHQG-FM (102.9) - have legendarily not subscribed to the ratings services conducted by then Arbitron, now A.C. Nielsen.
Today it was reported by radio industry newsletter Tom Taylor Now that an agreement between the ratings firm and Saga for use of the data is near. Last year, Arbitron filed a lawsuit against Saga for allegedly using the results to sell the station to advertisers anyway. »Read Full Blog Post

Counterprogramming by CBS affiliate WDJT-TV (Channel 58) - specifically, "NCIS" - beat election-night coverage on the three other local stations, from 8 to 9 p.m., in preliminary overnight ratings.
But in direct competition with other election coverage, WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) won the night, with WITI-TV (Channel 6) a close second.

Country music station WMIL-FM (106.1) remains the Milwaukee radio market leader, but the station dropped a full ratings point since the previous month in the A.C. Nielsen ratings survey for October.

Wisconsin Public Radio is scrubbing references to Jian Ghomeshi from its website, after the host of the popular CBC show was fired for alleged sexual misconduct.

The short film winner was "The Numberlys," part of the festival's children's program. The film, based on an app, is about the invention of the alphabet in a world of numbers, told in a style similar to that of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis." »Read Full Blog Post(3)

Numerous members of the local film community worked on the film, which was written and produced by Milwaukee native Jeff Gendelman and directed by Gil Cates Jr. Astin and the filmmakers will appear at Thursday's screening. The sold out film is on rush ticket status. »Read Full Blog Post
Milwaukee Film Festival picks: day fourteen
Two of my Milwaukee Film Festival favorites are getting repeat showings Wednesday.
I recommend "Human Capital," 9:45 p.m. at the Times Cinema, an Italian drama about how a series of events shown through shifting perspectives affect two families;
And "Finding Fela," at 9:30 p.m at the Fox Bay Cinema Grill, about the remarkable life and hypnotic music of the charismatic Pan African polyrhythmic pioneer and political radical Fela Kuti.
But if you belong to Milwaukee Film you will probably be attending one of the two members only secret screenings at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. at the Oriental Theater.

Milwaukee Film Festival picks: day thirteen
Not many fairy tales come out of the Middle East these days, but "The Green Prince" qualifies as one.
This story of how the son of a high-ranking leader of Hamas the Palestinian terrorist group became an informant for Shin Bet, the Israeli intelligence agency, all but defies credulity.

Decoding the Magic of Mystery
The Truth is: the view from Pujols-ville is more than satisfying these days. Despite my colleague's dastardly attempts to poke holes in the euphoric reality of the game's best player hitting walk-off homeruns to champion the St. Louis Cardinals to its current nine game lead in the NL Central over the Chicago sCrUBS, I continue to attest to the wondrous ecstasy that is having a bonafide man-crush on Number 5.
Say what you want, Mr. Krause, Pujols-ville is full of winners.
The same cannot be said for the barely above mediocre Detroit Tigers.
And when times are tough, Mr. Krause — when the .500 Minnesota Twins and sub .500 Chicago White Sox have legitimate shots at besting your patchwork club — I understand that human nature may force you to criticize, to chide, to castigate. Indeed, your rural upper middle class gun-totin' religion-clingin' Republican roots have crept their way into the conversation with your most recent closing statement:
"Don't hate me because of my inability to fantasize about Albert Pujols
in a kiddie pool full of tapioca pudding. Hate me 'cuz I'm right."
Jealously does often cause one to slander.
But the above statement is more than just blasphemy. It's code.
You see, dear readers, Mr. Krause and I both fancy ourselves as learned linguists. With two foreign languages under each of our respective belts (that's four total, not counting the mother tongue), it's easy for us to slip hidden messages here and there. In this case, the curious Albert/kiddie-pool/tapioca-pudding reference has deeper meaning…
In French:
Ne me détestez pas en raison de mon incapacité de fantasmer au sujet d'Albert Pujols dans un regroupement de kiddie complètement de pudding de tapioca. Détestez-moi 'cuz que j'ai raison.
To Chinese:
To Spanish:
No odio, porque no puedo Albert Pujols un grupo de fantasía para niños que pudín plenamente tapioca. Odio porque yo tenía razón.
To Arabic:
لا اكره لأنني لا أستطيع ألبرت Pujols مجموعة من الخيال للأطفال بشكل كامل التابيوكا الحلوى. أنا أكره لأنني كنت على حق.
And finally, back to English:
"Did not force! For that I, Albert, did not can Pujols' group from the horseman for the children, thoroughly Al-Hulwah! I forced for that. I was justified."
Yep. Mystery solved. Mr. Krause wishes he were Albert. He fears those pesky horsemen, the children and most importantly, those more than creepy Al-Hulwahs.
Hard for me to hate Mr. Krause for that. Sometimes the Al-Hulwahs even keep me up at night.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Let me the next to say it…what man doesn't want to be Albert?! He pretty much wins at baseball. If for some ridiculous reason (that should never occur) he ever leaves St. Louis, can the White Sox have him? 🙂
What man doesn't wish they were Albert? LOL Dream big my friends… :O)
I don't blame Allen for wishing he were Albert. Think how much fun life would be for him to have your undying devotion!
Sorry but I do not want to be Albert Pujols when he goes to a visiting stadium, but it would be nice to be him when he is at Busch!
Reason being is the Albert haters in the the world who might bring up those three letters we all dread to hear nowadays. PED used to be just a simple collection of letters, now it is a cancer among the few who play the game.
So I could not be Albert and smile and still sign autographs as a joker decides he needs is 2 minutes of fame by ridiculing a guy who should be his hero, not the goat of ill-advised slander.
But most of all, I could not be Albert because my bat would be red from the blood of those idiots because if ignorance is bliss, then I am going downtown with their pinheads!

Hahah — Allen wishes he were a machine? Well if that is so become a sewing machine Allen. — You will have a ton of fun with that. Jeff —- That actually was Travis Hafner as a baby! How did you know?
So Al wants to play in a kiddie pool full of Tapioca? That explains a lot.
Well, looks like Al is just begging for an excuse to be more like you, Jeff. But hey, don't we all? Lol.
Jen — He ain't goin' anywhere. Don't get your hopes up. Be happy with an ailing Jake Peavy😉
Jenn — If only certain dreams came true…
Jane — Now THAT'S a dream!
RR — Albert's clean. If proven otherwise, I'm quitting baseball.
Ted — I thought it looked a lot like Hafner, too much so to not be him.
Julia — Indeed it does.
Lisa — I don't know about 'all', but Al? Guilty.
There's probably a ton of guys who want to be like Albert.
And really, tapioca? Of ALL the flavors…
Ginny — Al is weird. What can I say?
Jeff and Al you both know about those tapioca pools so lets not talk about that. Just leave Albert out of this evil thinking.
Baba — Nice to see you're alive. We were wondering…
TofTL — Mission accomplished😉

A barrage of flashing lights and sirens caught the attention of hundreds of people Tuesday morning along the Ala Wai Boulevard.
"I heard tires screeching and the sound of a car hitting into another car," said witness Chris Dickerson.
Police say the episode began just before 4 a.m. when officers spotted the driver of a blue Dodge pickup speeding the wrong way down Nahua Street.
When the pickup stopped on a sidewalk on Kuhio Avenue, the officers approached.
That's when police say the driver, identified as a 22-year-old soldier from Schofield Barracks, stepped on the gas and drove right at an officer.
"The officer fired multiple shots at the truck as it drove towards him, narrowly missing him," said Honolulu Police Chief Louis Kealoha.
The soldier then drove onto Lewers Street and was eventually surrounded by patrol cars on the Ala Wai Boulevard. That's when two other officers opened fire.
"The suspect began ramming several marked police vehicles before officers fired, striking the driver," said Chief Kealoha.
A witness with a bird's eye view said even her adrenaline was on overdrive as she watched the incident unfold.
"I feared for the lives of the police officers because even those in the car were in danger because his truck was continuing to hit the cars," said Dickerson.
Although it's clear the suspect was not giving himself up and continued to smash patrol car as he was surrounded, defense attorney Don Wilkerson says police must act reasonably when using deadly force.
"It does appear that they had the soldier's vehicle cornered. The question then was anyone's life in danger, or were they subject to bodily injury?" asked Wilkerson.
Honolulu police stand by the three officers who fired their 9mm handguns.
The soldier was pronounced dead at the Queen's Medical Center.
"It appears that the officers acted properly to contain that situation to minimize the danger to the public," said Maj. Richard Robinson.
"I'm very pleased that none of our citizens were hurt while we were trying to neutralize the incident. They did a good job," said Chief Kealoha.
The soldier has not been publicly identified. We know he served in Afghanistan, but had been back on Oahu for about a year.
Three officers were injured in the ramming incident. They were treated and released.
The officers who fired their weapons are on paid administrative leave -- standard procedure after a shooting.

Barking Death Squirrels: The Movie (almost)
Barking Death Squirrels author Doug Van Belle has not one but two film projects in the works. Orion 66 is based on the SJV-nominated novella The Jackals Waltz, which is a prequel to Barking Death Squirrels and deals with humanity finding its place in a universe where you're either predator - or prey. The film is being directed by the multiple-award-winning James Cunningham.
Van Belle is also working on the pilot for the SF comedy Johnny Ruckus, to be filmed at Avalon Studios in Lower Hutt. The pilot is mostly funded, but is running a Kickstarter campaign to raise the rest. We think an NZ-made SF show from a talented writer would be fantastic - support it if you can!

You should have thought of all of these good things before you did the crimes. This is the consequence of all of the bad decisions you chose to make of your own free will. My family grew up poor, in the middle of the same kind of stuff, and there is not a felon in the group. May you reform your life and find a better way, elsewhere.
I know the first thing comes to mind when people here these type of stories/ events, you shouldn't have done it! I am guilty of this myself. But now come a situation where I know this person and I treasure him as a true friend. Andre is not a mean person and never has been, his problem like mines were drugs, I just so happened to escaped and served 21 years in the military. Does this make me non american or acceptable because I joined the service and never got caught for my wrong doings? One of the things he didn't mention is that he has a son serving in the United States Marines! Is that unamerican? His son is willing to give his life for this country that want's to deport his father, a country that he knows nothing about! There is so much I want to say, but I don't have the smarts or the educational background has Andre and that makes me a better person? To Andre, MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU MY BROTHER!!!!!
FREE MY UNCLE. He isnt a violent felon. He has a long history of drug abuse which led to non violent crimes. When I was 17 he had his gang prevention program going and it made a huge impact on my life. i remember the Menudo Bowl the most at Mcdonald park. He had 4-5 of the rival gangs in dena competing in a friendly football tournament at a time where there was lots of homicide and shootings happening. My cousin serves this country that is trying to get rid of his dad for his wrong doings. My uncle has NO ONE in Mexico that can help him. He is nothing/nobody if they send him back to that screwed up country. FREE MY UNCLE.

by your logic we would have 74 million dollars committed to 4 players let that logic sit in for a bit? and 40 million dollar luxury tax hold hit once Lin's third years come in to play with no financial flexibility. With the contracts we have now say we commit to Lin thats 90 million for 7 players only how are we rounding out the rest of the roster? without winning a championship no one is coming here for cheap i.e the Miami model (to match and compete with said team)
We have to maintain flexibility somehow and I'm sorry but i would not pay Lin 15 million at this stage of his career/without any playoff experience he unproven commodity thats ridiculous 4 years 28.8 manageable team option in the fourth year to 3 year 25 mil means he packed his own bags to houston
The contracts we sign now give us the flexibility in the future to either a trade for a better point guard (melo's pipe dream) B. Trade for a decent SG C. Trade for draft picks (who am i kidding we don't care about those !) D. Pay JR Smith if plays decently E. AQUIRE TALENT TO HELP OUR CORE OF MELO-AMARE-CHANDLER because at the end of the day thats who our commitment is to
What this new CBA has proven is that it is scaring the life out of teams taking risks and from ridiculous spending look at the Mavericks and how they let everyone on their team walk or how the Lakers let Odom walk for a trade exception (later flipped for nash) but i hope you get my point
No one wants to be capped out searching for talent with minimum flexibility committing most of your money to 4 players at best. 1 an unproven commodity. at some point you have to remove the mask of fandom and put yourself in the shoes of a GM and what your best move is to make
Even though this unbelievable that this is happening this is an intelligent basketball move by the Knicks brass Felton comes on a reasonable contract and he dosen't pan out again (ironic i know) he can be moved
Instead of complaining about dolan not spending the money to retain talent be thankful that we have glen grunwald on board to have the basketball sense to maintain financial flexibility for the future
