With the Nikon D7000 DSLR, you get professional features and image quality in a lightweight, compact body. Nikon left nothing out when creating this camera, making it perhaps the best enthusiast DSLR on the market.
Uncompromising Image Quality
The D7000 features an all new 16.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, for the most stunning image quality available in a DX-format camera. With a native sensitivity range of 100-6400 ISO (plus H1 and H2 levels), low light levels will not stop you from getting the perfect image. The D7000 sensor is also capable of spectacular 1080p HD video recording at multiple frame rates.
Professional-Level Speed
Everything about the D7000 was designed to be faster than the competition. The 39-point autofocus system rivals some full-frame cameras and is equipped with 9 cross-type points for quick, accurate focusing in all lighting conditions. 3D AF tracking helps focus on moving objects, which you can then capture at up to 6 frames per second.
Versatile Kit Lens With Vibration Reduction
Included in this Nikon D7000 Kit is the popular AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens. The name is handful, but so are the features. With a wide zoom range, you'll have the perfect focal length for scenic vistas or portraits at a distance. ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass reduces chromatic aberration to maximize optical performance, while Nikons's VR (Vibration Reduction) will ensure sharp results in low light by stabilizing the lens during slow shutter speeds.

Great but fairly heavy do-everything lens

The 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 ("28-300", for short) is an all-around excellent lens for probably every possible occasion, despite its relatively heavy weight. This is the reason why you pay for Nikon glass over other brands, and why it's worth it. . First of all, this lens is fairly heavy, and if you walk around with this lens attached to the camera, moreso with the camera's relatively thin neck-strap, you'll feel its weight around your neck, and probably instinctively (as I've done and still do) cradle the lens with one hand to bear some/most of its weight to take some of it off of your neck. The advantage is that this one lens can replace several lenses, and obviate the need to carry any additional lenses, or worse, a second camera-body plus lens, if you do that to not need to hot-swap lenses on-the-fly. In fact, the only likely need for any additional lens would be for ultra-wide shots or specialty uses (extremely fast lens for low-light action shots, etc.). The only other lens I carry in my bag is the feather-light but optically superb 18-55mm kit-lens that came with my D3000, when I want wide landscape shots. . This is a full-frame (FX) lens, so it can be used on any DX/FX body, including film(!), not just DX bodies such as my D3000 or D7000. That 1.5x crop factor makes it effectively a 42-450mm lens on DX bodies. That being said, I can't gauge corner-to-corner sharpness, color-fringes, or vignetting, so I'll leave that to those who have an FX/full-frame camera body to test. But on even DX cameras, optical quality is amazingly crisp and clear. . I have a sample shot of a dragonfly, shown first as-is, simply resized to 800x536 for easy comparison, and second as a 100% crop (also to 800x536) of some extraordinary detail. Both photos are, other than the aforementioned resizing and cropping, respectively, right out of the tin, *ZERO* post-processing. No adjustments, sharpening, *ANYTHING*. Note the detail around the bug's face, the probably 1-pixel-wide "hairs". The (handheld) shot was taken approximately 3' away at full-zoom of 300mm, f/8, ISO-400, 1/400sec, -0.3EV compensation, on my lowly D3000. Graininess at ISO-400 on my D3000 is readily apparent in the 100% crop, but that's due to the 3k's sensor, *not* the lens. With the amazing clarity of this lens, you can take shots and crop-zoom the shot to unheard-of extremes to make, say, a shot of a full moon look as if it were taken at 1000mm or more. . For most peoples' uses, taking photos of friends, kids, dogs, parties, plus the occasional landscapes, close-ups of flowers, etc., the kit-lens which comes with the camera, such as the 18-55mm which comes with the D3000, or 18-105mm which comes with the D7000, will cover the majority of those shots admirably. But I chase birds around, and while I still love the 55-200mm telephoto which I also got with my 3k as an add-on, I just wanted a little more "reach". I considered various lenses, but I was sold on the review of the 28-300 by a rather well-known person, and decided to get one. . Again, aside from those infrequent wide-angle landscape shots I'd want (where the feather-light 18-55 fits in wonderfully), the over 10:1 zoom range of the 28-300, to me unheard of, would and should cover probably all my shooting needs. And I absolutely was not disappointed. In fact, it serves so many shooting types, from fairly wide-angle landscapes, to extreme zooms of distant objects and critters, to all types of pseudo-macro shots of buds and bugs. It became my default carry-with lens at all times, despite the weight. The 18-105 kit-lens of the 7k is so much lighter, even with its nearly 6:1 zoom ratio, but for the sheer utility of the 28-300, I gladly lug around all that extra weight. . VR2 is, in a word, fantastic. I recently took some rather long-distance skyline shots between 100mm and 120mm, and even at 1/4sec handheld shots (!!), was able to get some astoundingly steady shots that looked almost as if taken on a tripod when viewed fullsize, ie, at the pixel-level. Granted, it took a dozen or so shots and cherrypicking the steadiest shots of the lot, but just that it was possible at all was and is amazing. I haven't taken statistical samples of how many stops improvement I gain, but 2-3 full stops is easily achievable. . Action is universally smooth, from zooming from one extreme to the other, to the focussing ring when focussing manually. The 28mm lock does come in rather handy when the lens dangles downward hanging around your neck. With jiggling, it can "zoom in" (ie, extend towards 300mm) on its own from its own weight and become a pendulum, so the lock keeps the lens in-place when fully retracted. It may not be a necessity, but it is a nicety. I've gotten to use it similar to a car's parking-brake, engaging it out of habit, and it becomes second-nature in short order. . Distortion such as barrelling and pincushioning are there, but largely negligible and unnoticeable, at least on a DX camera, even at either extreme of the zoom range. Unless you routinely take photos of picket fences or brick walls, you're unlikely to notice any of either kind of distortion, even if looking for it. . Autofocus speed depends largely on the camera, I imagine. It's acceptable on my 3k, and would sometimes hunt in the wrong direction if the 3k got confused, but is spot-on and scary-fast on my 7k. . All in all, the 28-300 is a fairly heavy lens but well worth the extra weight if you want or need "reach" out to 300mm, and don't want to carry a second lens for wider shots, or v/v if you have your kit-lens but don't want to carry a second lens such as a 70-300 for longer-distance shots. The 18-200 might suit your needs as a do-all single lens solution if you don't need that 300mm reach, but if you do, the 28-300 is perfect as a single daily-carry lens. And if you still need something for those wider shots, the feather-light and optically-superb 18-55 is perfect, else consider a 10-24 or some low-mm prime lens to throw in your pocket. Whatever you'd decide, if you get the 28-300, you'll very soon wonder how you ever got along without it. . The ability to go from a 28mm wide-angle "Wow, what a gorgeous sunset!" shot to a 300mm extreme-zoom "Look at that bird!!" shot with just a split-second flick of the wrist, instead of having to grubble through your bag and then swap lenses -- and more than likely miss the shot completely -- is priceless. . And again, see my sample shots, taken on a "lowly" D3000, high-ISO grain and all from the 3k's sensor notwithstanding, for an example of the kind of crisp shots you can get, even when viewed at the pixel level. Individual hairs on the bug's face are easy to distinguish, barely a pixel-wide each. The more I try to push this lens to its limits, the more impressed with it I become. . Sadly, camera bodies become obsolete or at least obsolescent in just a few years as features improve, but lenses are an investment that will last the better part of a lifetime, and a lens which does as much as this one does and covers such a wide zoom-range (almost 11:1) and has so many uses, and has such incredible optical quality, is well worth that investment to make this a do-all carry-with lens, probably the only lens you'd even need to carry, as long as its extra weight doesn't become an issue.

This lens has average optical quality, but if stopped down to about f/5.6 or f/8, the quality improves a lot more. Smooth zoom action and fast auto focus response. VR works well. Some users find the lens heavy, but I do not. If lens is used carefully and properly, it is a very good all purpose lens. Good travel lens.

Essential travel lens
By TravelBug
from Durham, NC, USA
Comments about Nikon D7000 Black Digital SLR Camera Kit:
I want to echo the April 2015 review regarding the utility of this lens for a wide variety of travel related photography. Remarkably fast focus, superb clarity - extremely small amount of vignetting on periphery at 200 mm a bit more noticeable at 300 but over the wide mm range of this lens is very very small. Small aperture is no problem in low light with the D810. I have 9 lenses for my D810 and this lens is my favorite companion and has stood the test of time in subzero to desert environments and ultimately Lightroom since this lens was manufactured.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A Real Workhorse
By Binkman
from Seattle, WA, USA
i have owned this lens for two years, and have literally traveled the world using it as my solo lens. I recently went to SE Asia, and took a variety of lenses with me but never took any of them out of my bag since my 28-300 covered all situations I encountered. The VR works very well, and the image quality is outstanding. I honestly cannot recommend this lens highly enough.

An excellent lens
By jimmyd
from South Carolina, USA
There is little to say about this lens that others have not said however, It is simply great. As a traveling senior I know I am a target for thieves when I travel, that is just the way the world is now. So when I travel this lens is not only a great lens for photos but I do not have to change lenses often which means..... I keep my concentration on my surroundings as well as my shot. It does macro very well and even night shots it works well, it simply does everything that I want it to do. You couple this with Nikon Capture NX2 and it is about as good as it gets.

Excellent general purpose lens
By Alank
from Undisclosed
I purchased this lens to match my new D610 body, having used my D7000 for several years and wishing to have a full-frame system as well. It really exceeds expectations - I have a Nikkor AF-S 300 1:4 mm prime with a TC-14II for bird photography (unbelievably sharp combo) and the great Nikkor 80-400 mm VR for wildlife, and find that this lens essentially replaces them both, specially if I fit it onto the D7000 body to get that extra 30% focal length in the DX world. The VR seems to be excellent, though normally I am not shooting at low shutter speeds with this lens so not really much of an issue. It is really heavy to carry around, so be aware that you may wish to have a couple of small primes for when you do not need a zoom. I have one of the older 50 mm f/1.8 prime and just purchased the 35 mm f/1.8 so that if I am obviously going to be somewhere where the longer tele is not needed, and specially if I need a wider aperture for low light, I ave a couple of relatively low cost alternatives.

Not sealed well at all
By drsepd
from Houston
I use well constructed camera travel gear. I purchased this lens in June 2013 and within 10 months it had dust spots inside the lens where the only removal option was for Nikon to fix it. I was on vacation in June/July and sent it in upon returning in August. They won't repair it without charging me $300 for the repair. The D600 also had spot issues but since a lot of people complained about that issue, it did not cost to repair the body. This is the THIRD issue I have had with Nikon cameras/lenses and spots. I am inclined to spend my money elsewhere. One in three times they stand behind their product - not good enough odds for the money I spend on camera gear.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

For the first time, it really is like having a bag of prime lenses along all of the time.
By Daddio
from St. Louis, MO, USA
The previous scenario was D7100 with 18-200 DX VR. That was an excellent setup and we have no complaints about the many great memories on the walls and hard drives -- except it fell short focal length wise a few times when planning ahead was not an option. The move up to FX (D610 and now D750) along with this 28-300 FX VR as the "always within reach camera" is a real game changer. Not hype. Been doing this a few decades. Wow. Why? Because if the lighting is there (and even when it's not...), within reasonable distances, you can shoot anything from the hip, fast or slow, near or far, with 95%+ results in most peoples eyes -- and the moment would have passed anyway if going for a lens was the only option. (The new low light FX sensors + Photoshop can make up for quite a bit in the lighting department the other 5% of the time for us type A's). We have 2 kids playing most indoor and outdoor sports. And lot's of family. Awesome impromptu portraits (which always come from 15 feet away, the way our minds store faces...) are seconds away, all the time. So is daylight stop action at any reasonable distance for available focal lengths with amazing clarity -- and always much better than my impromptu photos from 2 years ago using identical techniques. You still have to pay attention to depth of field to get what you want. I shoot in aperture priority mode most of the time with auto iso compensation on so I can get everything I want, all the time. I'm greedy that way!. This has proven to be as much of a step up as the DX to FX step. Both are very highly recommended. Can't say enough about the quality of the photos. I don't believe there will be another leap like D750 and this 28-300 FX VR lens for years to come.

Great lens for a great camera
By Allan
from Maryland
I bought this lens when I upgraded from a D90 to the D800 a few months ago. I had been using the 70-300 lens on my D90, and loved it. I researched a lot before buying this lens, and had some concerns about distortion, but decided to buy it for the versatility -- and at the time I did not have a macro lens, so I thought this would be a good substitute. I have not been disappointed. I've taken several thousand shots with this lens, and have since acquired a macro (the 105mm micro Nikkor). Surprisingly, I actually prefer this lens for some macro shots -- particularly moving insects that will not stand still for me to get close with the 105mm lens. There was some adjustment with the FX camera, since the DX D90 multiplies the magnification by 1.5,and I was used to getting more magnification. However, with the D800's 36MP, I can crop and magnify much more than the DX multiplication factor with no loss of resolution at all. There is no more distortion at 28mm than I had at 18 mm on my D90's 18-105 kit lens (which is very little), and I find the pictures at 300 mm to be as sharp as I was getting at 300mm with the 70-300 zoom. The really great thing about this lens is its versatility. When I travel, I no longer have to carry a macro, a close zoom, and a long-range zoom. And I no longer have to change lenses, which reduces sensor dust and saves a tremendous amount of time (and risk of breaking or damaging a lens) changing lenses. I do like the 105mm macro, and it is fantastic for things that I can get close to; but its depth of field is not as good as the 28-300mm lens at the same aperture, and the 6x 300mm advantage is worth having when I don't want to, or can't, get close to the subject. I am sure that the 105mm lens is sharper, but I really cannot tell the difference in practice. It's actually easier to hand-hold the 28-300 up close than the 105, and it focuses a little easier. Since Nikon no longer makes a micro zoom, this is the best alternative. And it is also great at long range at full zoom. I've read several pros who do not like zoom lenses and who talk about framing by walking. That's fine for some situations, but the zoom is by far my preference. Being able to go from wide angle to telephoto with a quality lens on a quality camera means a lot to me. I have hundreds of pictures that are pro quality though I am not a pro, and even though it's the photographer who makes good pictures, the equipment certainly helps! Last but certainly not least, the price is great considering the versatility and range of the lens. Great going, Nikon!

Defective product
By MWreview
from San Francisco, CA, USA
I have just returned my new 28-300mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR for a refund. My experience was so disappointing I asked for a refund rather than a replacement while I reconsider any further investment in Nikon. When the lens arrived I very carefully attempted to attach it to my D700. There was resistance and I thought I must have the threads misaligned, and was concerned I might be cross threading my equipment. I even more carefully removed the lens from the camera â€" examined both pieces very carefully - and even more carefully reattached them â€" it was not a smooth attachment as with my other 4 premium Nikon lenses, (count 1). Once attached, I decided to try it out. I was most disappointed on three additional counts: 1. Auto focus was hit or miss. By this I mean auto focus did not work on a high percentage of attempts. 2. I could achieve focus manually, but on occasions the camera would not fire even when focused manually. 3. My images were not sharp â€" they were fuzzy. When I removed the lens from the camera I had the same uneasy, noisy experience â€" the action was very rough as if the threads were not aligned correctly. The Nikon lens sent to me was a dud in every regard â€" and whether Nikon has a QA problem is for them to determine, but this defective piece of expensive, precision equipment is unacceptable and very disappointing.
An all-range high quality lens
By OLA71
from El Paso, TX, USA
I've been with Nikon since 1993 and for the first time we now have a "full range� zoom for FX format (the 35mm for the old days). What I like is that this lens comes well when you want to "travel light� and you don't want to bring all your gear. (If you are a pro or semipro). If you are an advanced amateur is the best option in FX. (You have another options in DX. The internal motor is both silent and fast and the VR feature allows you to take sharp pictures even at 1/125 sec at 300mm hand taken! (With a still subject). The range is very flexible in you can go easy from a group photo at 28mm to a close up just with a few hand movements. My only concern is that if you try portrait the depth of field is high so is not easy to get blurred backgrounds compared vs. the f/2.8 options (80-200mm & 70-200mm) An advantage is that the filter size is 77mm so if you already have pro series gear you can use the Circular Polarizer and the rest of the filters, you really save money with this. What I dislike is the fact that the lens "expands� as you move from 28mm to 300mm. I prefer the ones that are with a fixed length. Since I can remember all the Nikon (ED rated) are simple the best in class. The colors are true and the definition and sharpness always at the top. They worth the extra bucks! Conclusion, If you are someone interested to jump to the "FX-big format� this is a very good start. And for the pros, this lens is very versatile and still keep many of the features and advantages of the pro gear without sacrificing too much. (speed and depth of field).

The most versatile lens in Nikon world
By fnu brawijaya
from Jakarta, Indonesia
I have this lens for over a year, about one month after it has released. This lens is so versatile that I make it to my top best 10 Nikon lens. The first time my friend showed off his lens during one of our photo huntings. He point the lens at about 30cm (1ft) to my face and showed the result on his D3s camera at 300mm. The image is so sharp. Okay, I write it again: 300mm at a distance of 30cm (1ft)!! I was sold immediately and when I got back to my town, I ordered one for me. I have brought this lens to several countries, together with 16-35, 24-70, 70-200 f/2.8, 16mm fisheye, 35mm f/1.4 as my usual whole setup for photo huntings. This lens is however always on my D4 almost all the time. To give you guys the importance of this lens to me, I have almost all recent Nikon lenses up until 400mm f/2.8 VR (except 24mm f/1.4 and 200 f/2), but 28-300mm is the best lenses for me, and for all Nikonians in my photo club. I wrote a little list of my best 10 Nikon lenses in my personal website (no commercial site) http://www.fnubrawijaya.com/berita-153-my-nikon-10-best-lenses.html. I apologize for my broken English. Oh yes, I am more in landscape and street/human interest photography. It is important to have two kind of interest to make our photo hunting worth every time (you cannot take photos during rain).

Have you heard about the summer slide? As fun as it might sound, this slide isn't something to enjoy. Summer slide (or summer learning loss) occurs when children don't engage in learning activities over their summer break from school. According to Scholastic, teachers typically have to spend the first four to six weeks of the new school year re-teaching concepts that their students have forgotten over the summer.
It's often said that the habits children learn at a young age carry over to adulthood. Safe sun exposure should be included in those healthy habits.
When my oldest daughter was 4 or 5 we were riding with my mom and Alison blurted out, "Grandma, want to know a family secret?"
I sat in the passenger seat frozen, not sure what my daughter was about to say.
"It's like Dad wearing Mom's underwear," Alison said.
It was one of those moments when you feel obligated to explain, but you sure as heck don't want to because no matter what you say your mom will still think you're an imbecile -- or worse.

When any triplicity produces entirely different suits. proceed in the same manner until you have drawn fifteen cards and placed them by the side of the Querent. If an actual marriage is in question. On the other hand. It may of course happen that the King has been drawn to represent him.

Rider. representing the lover and the lady whose fortunes are at issue. Throw out the rest for the moment. It is not very probable that the alternative between town and country will arise as a subsidiary question. then a tierce in the one case and a tierce and the Ace in the other must be found in Hearts or Diamonds according to the grade of their fairness. on the table before you. in every triplicity which produces two of the same suit. it has been held by the expositors of the system that a tierce to the King in Diamonds is indispensable. but it is only a confusion of expression. but in addition to a tierce in the suit there must be the Ace of the suit also. seems to be usually at predilection or discretion. or ex hypothesi there will be no marriage.

It is well known that compilers of works on cartomancy sometimes forget the limits prescribed by their systems and get consequently into ridiculous plights.

Health & Safety:
It's increasingly scary in IV in light of recent events, but I know that there is a lot being done to increase the safety. Jst don;t walk alone, girls especially.
Pretty diverse campus, and definitely very very liberal.
Local Area:
Santa Barbara is one of the best places on earth. It truly is.
I never use campus computers really because I have my own lap top. Almost everyone here has their own lap top.
It's pretty tricky to find parking in IV, and it can be hard to find parking by Campbell hall.
good facilities, but no one pays much attention to sports unless they are an athlete themselves. People do attend soccer matches.
They give pretty decent aid, although I do wish it was a bit more plentiful although that is not the school's fault; that's the government. UCSB offered better aid than any of the other schools did!
Drug Safety:
Drugs and alcohol are everywhere, but responsible students are around, too. It just depends what crowd you go with.
Campus Housing:
It's very over priced, but the Santa Catalina dorms are very nice.
Off-Campus Housing:
The sorority houses are really nice (other than tri-delt, which pretty much sucks), and the cost is super reasonable!
There are so many majors to choose from, it's amazing!
UCSB has the best religious studies department in CA for a reason, it's truly world class.
Amazing professors, and SO many academic opportunities. Can't imagine a better religious studies department.
It's really not that strict, you can get away with basically anything, and the RAs are super incompetent about enforcing rules, not that any one is really complaining, though.
Drug Safety:
you don't have to take part, but some do
Local Area:
very laid back. mostly residential. not much to do. expensive stuff downtown
Off-Campus Housing:
it is much cheaper than on campus housing. great community in IV
it's usually reliable but can become packed at times.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are many places near by the campus to live in except they can be really pricey.
There's no football team which sucks but other than that it's great.
Local Area:
There's a city right next to it called isla vista. It's a very pleasant place to walk around at.
I feel like there are so many different kinds of people.
Campus Housing:
It depends on what dorm you're living in and who your roommates are.
Greek Life:
I'm not in it so I don't really know. It's expensive.
There's all the help you need and the teachers are always happy to help or answer questions.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Ask practically any UCSB student, and he or she can give you a long list of things they love about the University, along with a few things they wish they could change. For the most part, UCSB is a college student's haven with great academics, world-renowned professors, not to mention the great weather and laid-back atmosphere, and lastly who can forget the social scene? Some students describe Santa Barbara as paradise, but for those who quickly get over it and need a getaway, LA is a short one-hour drive south, while San Francisco is only four hours north. There are hidden treasures in Santa Barbara that you can explore and take advantage of while living there.
Do not let the weather and social scene cloud your judgment and decisions—take a deeper look at the school and ask the students. Chances are, the parties are not at the top of their list. Most students fall in love with their internships, clubs and organizations, and research work that prepare them for the real world. The most successful students are those who find a balance between academics and social life. The temptation to blow off school is present wherever you go, so the students pay extra attention to the work they produce. Overall, UCSB is the type of school that produces people that employers are seeking. You will find your fellow peers to be sociable and well-rounded in and out of the workplace. So although you may not get to experience game days like you would at a football school, there is nothing better than being able to catch a quick "surf sesh" before and after your class.

There are also resources such as http://audiojungle.net/ that have Sound Effects for sale for cheap. Most sound designers have staple libraries of sound effects that they post process in audio editors. You might want to just buy sounds if you're not really familiar with editing sounds. I second try using something like Audacity (Free) to experiment with processing effects.

Driven by What He Wishes He'd Learned
By KAREN W. ARENSON
Published: May 14, 2003
He never attended journalism school himself, and he has taught only one journalism course.
But Nicholas Lemann, the New Yorker correspondent who recently agreed to become dean of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, said that in his 31 years as a writer and editor he has often thought about things he wished he had learned in graduate school.
Things like statistics, and the ideas of Plato and Machiavelli and Madison, and whether war is ever justified. Those longings have shaped his vision of what the journalism school might be and his decision to take on the job of revamping it.
''The primary driver here,'' Mr. Lemann said, ''was me stumbling through life as a journalist and keeping an inner tally of things I wished I knew.''
He is taking the dean's position at a tempestuous time. Columbia's president, Lee C. Bollinger, set off a firestorm last year by suggesting that the school placed too much emphasis on craft -- reporting and writing -- and not enough on educating aspiring journalists in issues like political theory and economics. It is a debate that has split the school's faculty.
Mr. Lemann, 48, an affable man with abundant patience and self-confidence, seems unconcerned about stepping into the ferment. He has a clear idea of what he thinks the school should look like, and is eager to try it.
''Look, this is a big challenge, an experiment,'' he said in an interview. ''I wouldn't be leaving my job at The New Yorker if it weren't couched this way by Lee Bollinger. Not all experiments work. But something will happen.''
The starting point, he hopes, will be the proposal he presented to a task force on the future of the journalism school that Mr. Bollinger convened this year. It outlined a two-year program heavily rooted in academic learning, and it closely parallels Mr. Bollinger's own thinking.
One of Mr. Lemann's specific proposals was a course examining different ways of ''searching for truth,'' studying the forms of evidence demanded by people in fields like law, economics, psychology, statistics and philosophy. He also suggested that first-year students take courses in great literature and great ideas. In their second year, students would specialize in a substantive major, like science or religion or economics, and produce a journal, similar to a law review.
Mr. Lemann (pronounced lemon) would not toss out craft altogether. But he proposed that the intensive teaching of basic reporting and writing skills that is the core of Columbia's 10-month program be concentrated in a three-month summer program before the regular school year begins. Students would also take newsroom workshop courses both years.
Mr. Lemann said he did not expect the journalism school to embrace his plan wholesale -- or even that any pieces will be adopted quickly -- and he said he planned to consult widely before any change takes place.
Still, he said he hoped that the school could conduct a small experiment, offering a second year to perhaps 20 or 25 students with the school paying their way as an incentive, though he added that it would take time to raise money and create the curriculum.
''Curriculum change is evolutionary,'' he said. ''There is not one moment where everything is changed by diktat overnight.''
Some critics, like Robert J. Samuelson, the Washington Post columnist, have suggested that such training is too high-minded for a press corps that produces more short daily stories for suburban papers than lengthy articles in intellectual journals like The New Yorker or The Washington Monthly.
Mr. Lemann has two answers. One is that a graduate school in an Ivy League university is not training the average journalist.
''Most journalism schools are undergraduate programs,'' he said. ''So having a stand-alone graduate program at an Ivy League university is a different beast.''
''You try to identify people who might be leaders in the profession,'' he added. ''In addition to training people to write stories, you train them in analytic modes that will be useful throughout their careers.''
His second response is that while the academic training he proposes may sound high-minded, it should be especially useful to daily journalists.
''When something complex comes up, you'd like to know what are the theoretical basics of the issue,'' he said.
''The first layer of journalism is just learning how to do it, to see life in terms of events,'' he added. ''But if you are a graduate of the Columbia Journalism School, you ought to get to a place in your career where you can do more than just that. You ought to be explaining, contextualizing, analyzing -- doing more than saying this happened yesterday.''
Nor is he troubled by arguments that journalists cannot afford two years.
Two years, he said, is a minimum for students to absorb the ethos of a university and its ways of thought. Besides, he added, students in other professional schools, including divinity, social work, the fine arts and education, typically spend two or more years in graduate work, and they often earn less than journalists.
Mr. Lemann will not assume the dean's mantle until September. He had budgeted a few weeks for finishing an article for The New Yorker, and the summer for finishing a book on post-Civil War Reconstruction.
But after completing the New Yorker article -- it ran in Monday's issue -- he quickly found himself consumed by Columbia. Every day -- sometimes several times a day -- he has chatted by phone or e-mail with Alan Brinkley, Columbia's incoming provost.
''This is Day 3 of my post-New Yorker period,'' he said last Wednesday. ''And so far I have spent full time working on Columbia. I have not found a balance yet.''

Towards An Integrative Framework Of B2B Branding - A Bibliometric Study And Conceptual Analysis
The purpose of this paper is to identify the most influential publications addressing B2B branding, and based on their contributions, tentatively propose a framework of Business-To-Business (B2B) branding. The authors use bibliometric methodology, exploring some of the most cited B2B branding literature, in order to discover the determinants and benefits of a strong B2B brand. Analysis of the selected publications indicates that the most significant determinants of a strong B2B brand are quality, reliability, distribution services, supplier reputation and support services.

NEW YORK UBS UBSN.VX promoted senior energy dealmaker Tom Langford to run its global natural resources investment banking business, leading the Swiss bank's practice in the energy, mining and chemicals sectors.
UBS announced that it was combining the three practices into a single unit and that Langford would head up that group in a memo reviewed by Reuters on Wednesday. A UBS spokeswoman confirmed the contents of the memo.
Langford was previously the head of the bank's energy practice based in Houston, a position he has held since 2011. Before joining UBS, he spent 17 years as an energy investment banker at Morgan Stanley. (MS.N)
According to the memo, UBS' energy, mining and chemicals groups have accounted for about 20 percent of the bank's investment banking fees over the past years.

Linux à la française: First Alpha from Mandriva Linux 2010
Mandriva Linux 2010 is set to appear on the scene with an alpha version in October. First attempts with the free version (in 32- and 64-bit) have been approved. In the meantime the French company has let its community down by cancelling the LinuxTag visit last minute.
One new aspect with Mandriva is that the build tool mkcd has been replaced with bcd. In addition, developers promise strongly shortened boot up times for the new display. A Moblin packet which can support feeble hardware and more is available as an option.
Plymouth optically enhances the boot process with the help of graphic animation. Splashy comes into use for unsupported chip sets. Mandriva's security framework is based on Tomoyo, which will have the capability of being set up via GUI in the future.
A few changes are already to be found in the first alpha version, similar to the second beta version from KDE 4.3 and Gnome 2.27.3 with the predecessor from Gnome 2.28. Also, the compact Xfce desktop is present in version 4.6.1. Version 2.6.30 comes into the running as a kernel, and in addition Mandriva 2010 is accompanied by X-server 188.8.131.521. The compiler of choice is GCC 4.4.
As software for the end user, the distribution comes with multimedia player Moodiva, formerly known as Elisa. In addition, the updated version 0.12.1 of the video software Pitivi is included. Sagemath is an integrated program for mathematicians which can produce ISOs with bcd. Under the name qemu-kvm, KVM comes into the fold, CUPS 1.4 supports Zeroconf/Bonjour and demonstrates better performance.
The Mandriva Wiki lists the plans for the distribution. Some of the technical specifications have been provided in PDF form. The download can proceed with Mirrors.
In the meantime the French corporation behind the distribution has come to abruptly abandoning the Linuxtag, much to the dismay of the German Linux community. The presence of Mandriva had been announced for awhile prior, the company has booked a booth in hall 7b, no. 106. In a short email to the German Mandriva community they gave notice of their decision, leaving their community members standing in the rain with cost for travel and hotel bookings.
Alpha version is out nowThe alpha of 2010 is out now. The official release is scheduled for October.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Rockies manager Jim Tracy said left-hander Jeff Francis, who was scheduled to start Colorado's second game of the regular-season against Milwaukee, will be placed on the 15-day disabled list.
Francis, who pitched five scoreless innings Thursday against Chicago after missing all of last season following shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum, was sore and unable to play flat-ground catch Friday.
Left-hander Greg Smith, coming off an injury-marred season of his own, will take Francis' spot in the rotation.
"It's hurting pretty bad," Francis said. "But not like it did before. I don't know if that's good news or bad news. I threw the ball [Thursday] in a way I haven't thrown it in a long time. That was probably pretty taxing on my shoulder. Maybe I wasn't ready for it. Needless to say I'm pretty disappointed."
Francis, the Rockies' ace in 2007 when they made their run to the World Series, has battled shoulder problems since going 17-9 that season.
"I felt like I had really put it together and whatever I'd been searching for all spring I found it [Thursday]," he said. "I was excited to start the season. Like a lot of people say, this is another obstacle I have to jump over and hopefully come out clean on the other side."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
