Just watched the film. Toes now sore from so much curling. Interesting tech though.
Canon does this strange thing again: great looking camera, touch screen, great lens, weather sealing etc etc. you think, wow, I want it...
Then you realise there's no EVF and no 4K. And these days I'm not spending this kind of money if I don't get those two things.
So you think, well, i'll wait for version II. But version II takes away with one hand and gives with the other. So you wait for version III... and so on.
It baffles me. Canon are very close to a great camera. Why won't they make it perfect?
cgarrard: DPR- Glad you will keep pushing the raw issue as much as you can without hurting your relationship with Canon.
I'm not buying that answer Chuck! :)
His answer on the raw question is pretty poor. A true hybrid with a one inch sensor at this price simply has to be able to shoot raw. I wonder what the real reason is that it doesn't do it. Perhaps they just forgot.
Eleson: If optical steady shot means 'in-lens' then I don't understand 5-axis stabilization?
You can have 5 axis as in lens stabilisation or on sensor stabilisation. It just refers to the number of directions of movement the stabilisation allows for. 5 axis has become rather associated with Olympus's system, which stabilises the sensor, but Panasonic have 5 axis in lens on the TZ70 I believe.
nekrosoft13: wow, this things going to be a disaster like TX1, Pro1, and other weird Canon products did in past. Looks like weird product made of mixed up parts.
Canon needs to learn from Sony and Panasonic how to make a 4K camera.
The Pro1 was hardly a disaster. I had one for many years and took some of my best ever photos with it. They still change hands for surprisingly big money.
A puzzling new release. The price (even without the add-on EVF) seems to put it into the hands of pros, but will pros want a fixed lens and a one-inch sensor? i really don't know. I look forward to hearing what the pros think. Seems very niche to me.
I always snort when the police say we can't take photos one minute, then ask for photos and video from a crime scene to help them. They can't have it both ways.
The Squire: Hang on. It can shoot 20fps stills full size (?), but can only do 4K video at 15fps?
The original 1-series pushed what you could do with video in a compact camera - I had hoped Nikon would continue to lead with decent 4k video, H265, or 120fps+ full HD...
I don't see why you couldn't pull stills from the video. It's a recognised advantage as far as Panasonic is concerned, but then, Panasonic provides 4K video at a usable frame rate.
mrcultureshock: I know esthetics are of little importance vs the performance, but this is an ugly little compact camera. Nikon should copy what Panasonic is doing with styling and 4K capabilities.
I disagree. I think it looks really good. The best Nikon for years, look-wise.
I wonder why Nikon won't pit the technology from this into a proper mirrorless camera with an APS-C sensor. I guess before too long they'll have to.
The Squire: Hang on. It can shoot 20fps stills full size (?), but can only do 4K video at 15fps?
The original 1-series pushed what you could do with video in a compact camera - I had hoped Nikon would continue to lead with decent 4k video, H265, or 120fps+ full HD...
Yes, but presumably can only shoot 20fps/20MP for about a second in total, whereas it can shoot 4K for minutes on end.
Even so, 15fps 4K is not much use to anyone, unless you regard it as a lo-res continuous shooting mode from which to extract stills.
JaimeA: It is hard to believe that in this time of advanced camera development this camera does not have stabilization of any kind.
For video you need it. To hand hold at half a second you need it. Or even at a tenth and below. No matter how wide angle it is.
Andrew Butterfield: Gorgeous camera, but with a fixed LCD it loses many points for me, and the lack of an image stabiliser is a deal breaker. They desperately need something like the Olympus 5-Axis stabiliser. I couldn't buy it as it is.
IS is definitely needed even at this focal length, and for video. Once you've got used to being able to reliably hand hold at half a second and get sharp shots you can't go back to press and pray.
bigdaddave: I cannot believe the 'Cons' section doesn't mention the elephant in the room - IT ONLY HAS ONE FOCAL LENGTH
In the days when even a compact camera the size of a pack of cigs has a reasonable zoom this 1950's throwback might appeal to the well-heeled but as an actual tool it's far far too limited
But DP love Fuji so they've overlooked the obvious again
The elephant in the room is that there's no IS. They don't mention that in the cons.
Gorgeous camera, but with a fixed LCD it loses many points for me, and the lack of an image stabiliser is a deal breaker. They desperately need something like the Olympus 5-Axis stabiliser. I couldn't buy it as it is.
I think Lytro's problem is that while their first camera was promising and potentially exciting, the second one confirmed our worst fears that the technology wasn't really going anywhere.
I really fancy this. Been hoping for a wider angle macro than Oly's 60mm or Panasonic's own 45mm for a while.
I'm only one consumer, but when I was thinking about replacing my SLR last year with something smaller and better, I didn't even consider Canon or Nikon. Not for a second. Their offerings were yesterday's news compared to the exciting, innovative products from Olympus, Sony, Fuji and Panasonic.
And they still are. Canon are taking one step forward when others are taking five. Nikon aren't even stepping.
Ah well. Looks like my decision to move to Lightroom last year was the right one.

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) - Four U.S. citizens on a medical aid flight are dead after their light plane crashed in Baja California.
The Beechcraft A36 was on a flight from Ensenada to San Quintin when it disappeared Friday. Searchers found the wreckage yesterday in rough terrain about 30 miles south of Ensenada.
Mexican authorities say the plane apparently hit a 3,900-foot hill and then slid down to a mesa.
Those aboard were all from California: pilot Roger Lyon of Cayucos, Drs. Graciela Sarmiento and James Thornton of Arroyo Grande and medic Andrew Thiel, a student in San Luis Obispo.
The San Luis Obispo Tribune reports that Lyon was a leading attorney for the Hearst newspaper family and recently worked on the deal to preserve the 82,000-acre Hearst Ranch that was built by late media magnate William Randolph Hearst in San Simeon.
The plane was on a mission for the Flying Samaritans, an all-volunteer organization that transports medical personnel to at
least 17 clinics in Baja California.

The rainbow and God's promise to Noah must be of scant comfort to the thousands in England, hundreds of thousands in North Korea, and millions in India who are living through floods as personally devastating as the one from which Noah was protected. Indeed, here in India, where in some areas floods are now a way of life, the rainbow seems like a particularly cruel joke, coming as it does when the rain has stopped but the water remains.
In Bihar, floods are an annual event. Vast populations are forced to live on the narrow embankments that run parallel to rivers such as the Kosi (called the "River of Sorrow" by the British). At least 100,000 people are marooned as of this writing, many living a nightmare existence perched on rooftops or in trees. Dwell on that for a moment: How to ensure the safety of children who will continue to play regardless of danger? What about the elderly, the sick, the disabled? How to build a fire to cook meals? Where to defecate except in the water?
As Americans came to understand after Katrina, swimming to safety is only the first challenge in such a catastrophe. The next is dealing with the waterborne diseases that are the result of a contaminated supply. In India and other tropical countries, malaria is inevitable because standing water creates perfect breeding conditions for the mosquitoes that carry the disease.
We are in the middle of monsoon season right now-a...

Even with up to 25 percent of respondents saying they were hesitant to head to theaters over the weekend, The Dark Knight Rises grossed $64 million in North America, easily winning the top spot. Ticket sales were weak on Friday due in part to the shootings in Colorado, but also because of the Olympics Opening Ceremony, which wound up being as long as most movies, if not longer. Adding in its weekend haul, The Dark Knight Rises earned $64 million, has earned nearly $290 million domestically and more than $537 million worldwide.
It wasn't such a good weekend for Fox's The Watch, starring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade as a neighborhood watch group that stumbles on an alien invasion. The film only brought in $13 million and came in third behind The Dark Knight Rises and Ice Age: Continental Drift. Fellow new release Step Up: Revolution from Summit also performed poorly, limping into the fourth spot with $11.8 million.
It will be interesting to see how things work out this weekend. Fear of going to the theater may still exist, and the Olympics will still be going on, but there are a pair of films debuting that could pull in some decent dollars for two different audiences: Total Recall and the third film in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid franchise, which has earned a total of $116 million.
not surprised with the total for the film is now stuck with people being one too busy with things like the Olympics plus the fear that copy cat shooters though now with theatres taking precautions to prevent that happening. but mostly too many other events going on though odds are once the olympics are over the dark knight rises may wind up moving back fast to try and match avengers. for batman still does good box office.

Double D's Are The Key… 0 commentsMar 1, 2013 7:45 AM
For the past year euro-dollar has been prone to attack. But volatility disappeared in 2012.
Lack of venom due to a declining risk appetite amongst financial institutions was the problem. This market was wounded in the wake an implosion of confidence because of the global financial crisis.
A hypnotic spell cast by Mario Draghi and European government leaders has not helped.
In 2012 Euro-dollar posted its tightest range in 11 years while $-Swiss and Cable struck their smallest ranges in 37 years.
This is not a performance reminiscent of the Forex market, it more like a picnic with my Granny, at which, she would have been bored.
1.3000 was the pivot for Euro-Dollar up until May 2012. This year the market has been a lot more volatile and 1.3000 is set to come under pressure in March.
There is little value in my view, in bounces to 1.3200 or 1.3400. Rallies should be sold.
My target in the next three months is last years low at 1.2042.
In my view, Europe will only recover if it follows the wisdom being shown in the U.S and Japan.
Double D… Depreciate the crippling debt through inflation or Devalue the currency.
Europe will not work, its population will not work and the euro does not work until things change.

They've found their groove all right.
Taking the early punches, riding the blows, letting the other team run themselves into the ground.
And then hitting, hard. Breaking games open and then finishing them off. In the manner of, well, of champions.
But Jose Mourinho knows the next few weeks may tell him even more about his team.
Mourinho's smile in the aftermath of the goalless draw at The Emirates last month told a great deal. He felt he had done a job on Arsenal, that a draw was a more than acceptable result, especially given the rest of the Christmas programme.
Subsequent events, unquestionably, have justified that stance and outlook. Five straight wins, over Swansea, Liverpool, Southampton, Derby in the FA Cup and now Hull.
Had Manchester City shown any weakness in response to the pressure, just one slip, Chelsea would now be above Manuel Pellegrini's side, the ones putting the heat on the Gunners.
Yet what happens between now and the first Monday in February could be even more pivotal in the race for the crown, with Chelsea's first necessity proving they can banish the spectres of last term.
It is forgotten by many non-Blues fans that when Manchester United travelled to Stamford Bridge in October 2012 Chelsea looked the team to beat.
Top of the league under Roberto Di Matteo, having dropped just two points from their first eight games. Beat United and the gap would have been seven points.
What followed changed the course of both clubs' seasons.
United two up inside 12 minutes but Chelsea level within eight minutes of the interval.
Then two red cards, one unquestioned - Branislav Ivanovic could have no complaints - the other a shocker, Mark Clattenburg giving Fernando Torres a second red card for a dive that simply wasn't a dive.
Just the beginning. Javier Hernandez, coming back from an offside position but not spotted by anyone until the third video replay, too late for it to change.
And the post-match chaos sparked by Chelsea's allegations about what Clattenburg allegedly – there was no evidence, whatsoever, to back it up and Ramires' lack of mastery of English made pursuit of the case still a hard one to comprehend – said to John Obi Mikel, who then threatened to break the referee's legs in the officials' changing room.
Chelsea had reason to feel harshly treated on the pitch but Clattenburg, his colleagues and United were not responsible for the internal breakdown which followed.
Within a month, Di Matteo had been sacked, Rafa Benitez - of all people - appointed, Chelsea were down to fourth and out of the Champions League. Meltdown and no way back.
Indeed, by the time United next played Chelsea, in the FA Cup in March, the Old Trafford side had turned a four point deficit into a 19 point advantage, with Chelsea scrapping for third, a fight they won.
The teams have already met this season, back in August.
Mourinho played without a striker, Andre Schurrle the most advanced, Kevin De Bruyne making his second - and, it would appear, last - Premier League start of a short-lived and strange Chelsea career.
Chelsea lacked the desire to win the game. United lacked the know-how. One wonders now, looking back, if Mourinho may be regretting his caution.
On Sunday, though, the expectation will be that Chelsea go for the jugular, against a United side which arrives as massive underdogs.
Rightly so. United are vulnerable, callow, eminently beatable, their confidence wafer-thin. A Chelsea win will leave David Moyes side floundering, probably eight points adrift of fourth-placed Liverpool.
But wounded dogs can still bite. Mourinho has steadfastly refused to dismiss United as potential challengers, despite their struggles.
He knows that this will be a game where Chelsea's home record - they have, after all, dropped just two points all season so far on home soil – could be under strain.
But Sunday is just the start. Stoke, who arrive in SW6 a week later in the FA Cup, have already beaten Chelsea this season. West Ham, next up, are fighting for survival. And then, D-Day (or D-Night, given the 8pm kick-off) at The Etihad.
Offer Mourinho three home wins and a draw - with Chelsea likely to try to do to City what they did to Arsenal - and I suspect he would take it.
After that, Chelsea have home games against Arsenal, Spurs and Everton, their only big away test at Anfield. The title is very much a possibility, even if Mourinho remains right - for once there really are no mind games - to suggest it is City's championship to lose.
A big few games, even before the Champions League drama returns, Didier Drogba and all.
Chelsea, though, could not be in a better place ahead of this test of their strength and quality. And they have the right man at the helm.

In this gripping third novel in the acclaimed series, Myron must confront a past that is dead and buried and more dangerous than ever before.
The home is top-notch New Jersey suburban. The living room is Martha Stewart. The basement is Legos and blood. The signs of a violent struggle. For Myron Bolitar, the disappearance of a man he once competed against is bringing back memories of the sport he and Greg Downing had both played and the woman they both loved. Now, among the stars, the wannabes, the gamblers, and the groupies, Myron is embarking upon the strange ride of a sports hero gone wrong that just may lead to certain death. Namely, his own.

Read an Excerpt
The area near the nature preserve was overgrown. Salt flats and marsh met Matanzas Bay and the Intra-coastal, and the water went from shallow to deep, from sloping sand to a sudden drop-off leading to a misty and strange world of fish, tangled plant growth and, despite the best efforts of local and federal lawmakers, de facto garbage dumps.
Caleb Anderson had been drawn to a shopping cart down at about twenty feet, then on to a tire rim beneath a tangle of seaweed at thirty-five, but neither one turned out to be hiding what they were looking for.
The problem was, the authorities were searching blindly. A girl named Winona Hart had disappeared. She had been at a party, but none of her underage drunken friends—half of them potheads to boot— seemed to know when she had left, where she had gone, or with whom.
He looked at his compass, then up through the filter of light to the cable from the police cruiser serving as their dive boat. In his mind, if anything was going to be found, it was going to be closer to the shore. Unless, of course, she'd been kidnapped by a boater and dumped somewhere beyond the bay and out in the Atlantic. If that was the case, their chances of finding her were almost nonexistent. The ocean was huge. True, if caught in a current or an undertow, a body might wash up on land. And if they came up with a suspect who regularly followed a certain route, even a weighted body might somehow be discovered.
But at the moment they were searching blindly. Still, he hadn't wanted to miss the opportunity to be in on the search, not when he had promised he would do everything humanly possible to find Jennie Lawson. Admittedly, this grim attempt was not to find Jennie but a local teen who had now been missing for nearly forty-eight hours, a case that might or might not be connected to Jennie's. No one knew if Jennie Lawson had actually made it to the beach in St. Augustine, her intended destination. They only knew that she had landed in Jacksonville, gotten off the plane and picked up a rental car. Neither she nor the car had been seen since.
He didn't have much hope of finding Jennie alive. Her mother had told him that she knew Jennie was gone, because her daughter had come to her in a dream the night before her disappearance was reported and said goodbye. Caleb wasn't sure what to believe, because Mr. Lawson seemed to think that Mrs. Lawson had lost her mind when their daughter had disappeared, and he had, in fact, made a motion behind his wife's back to indicate as much.
Caleb had heard of stranger things than ghostly midnight visits, however, so he had simply smiled and vowed to Jennie's mother that he would do everything he could to find out the truth, even if he couldn't return her daughter to her. That had comforted her. Closure was something people needed. Perhaps it was too painful to live with eternal hope.
So Caleb was also looking for Jennie, or any sign of her, even if he was officially on the trail of another young woman for whom many were still holding out hope. But this dive was important for other reasons, too; it was giving him a chance to get to know the local authorities and the local expert on the surrounding waters.
As he moved toward the marshy shore, he couldn't see more than a few feet in front of him, but he was accustomed to such conditions. His dive light illuminated the surrounding area as he searched, and he was methodical in covering his assigned section of the bay. He had seen the grid, and he meant to search his assigned area thoroughly, leaving no possibility that anything had been overlooked. As an out-of-stater, he was the odd man out here. If he did anything to make the other men—and the one woman—on the local forensic dive team resent his presence, he would end up ostracized, and that would be a real problem in his search for Jennie. For that reason, getting along with the police lieutenant in charge of the case, Tim Jamison, and Will Perkins, the dive master, was crucial. Caleb was there mainly as a courtesy. He worked for a private agency, Harrison Investigations. The cases they took generally had an unusual twist, something inexplicable, even supernatural, that required their very specific professional services, but in this instance it was Adam Harrison's personal friendship with Jennie Lawson's father that had brought Caleb here.
He noted a glitter of light, just this side of the dropoff. He focused his dive light, and headed toward the glint, knowing full well that it might be just another shopping basket.
But as he neared the object in the water, he knew that this was no shopping cart.
It was far too large, for one thing. The full size of it became clear as he drew closer. It was an automobile.
All too often, people intentionally discarded cars in the water. Sometimes they were just junkers and nothing more.
Sometimes they held human remains.
And as he approached the Chevy mired in the mucky, seaweed-laden sand, he saw that this car was not empty. A solid kick with his flippers brought him to the driver-side window.
A face stared out at him, the mouth widened in a giant O, as if in a desperate quest for breath.
The eyes…
Did not exist. Already, the creatures of the deep had started to feed.
"Maybe Osceola was a hero, but they still tricked him and caught him and cut his head off. They chopped it right off!" a young boy said. He was about ten, cute and normal-looking in a T-shirt that had clearly just been purchased at the local alligator farm, jeans and sneakers. But he spoke with a relish that unsettled Sarah McKinley. Caroline Roth, seated at the computer and running the audiovisual end of the Heritage House presentation, let out a soft laugh, stared at Sarah, then grinned wickedly and shrugged.
"No," Sarah said firmly, and smoothed down the skirt of her period outfit. She was a good storyteller and knew how to handle a large—and diverse—group like the one in the lecture hall that day, which was a mix of kids and adults, tourists and locals, couples, groups and singles. They were into the tail end of summer, so she was getting classes from schools that started early and teachers from schools that started late. There was a Harley event down in Daytona that week, so she was getting a lot of bikers, too.
One man in the crowd, though, seemed to stand out. He was tall, but not inordinately so, maybe six-three. He was dressed as casually as the next tourist in blue jeans and a polo shirt, but he didn't look like the usual tourist. He wore sunglasses throughout her lecture—not an odd thing, lots of people didn't take them off when they came in. He was built as if he were in the service and worked out heavily on a daily basis, or as if he were an athlete. He was tanned and rugged, the way a man who spent his day sailing might be, tawny-haired and attractive. What was odd about him, though, was that he was alone. He seemed the type who should be with a beautiful woman, one who was as lithe and athletic as he was himself.
"Decapitated!" another kid called out.
Sarah's attention was drawn back to her lecture. She had been talking about Osceola, the most famous leader of the Seminole people, who had galvanized friend and foe alike when he had struck a knife into a treaty that would have been a death knell for his people. Like so many others, he had been imprisoned at the Castillo de San Marcos, the coquina shell bastion built by the Spanish that was the most imposing architectural feature of the city.
Leave it to a kid to dwell on the most gruesome fact he could think of—not to mention that he had it wrong.
"History records lots of terrible things that were done, but that wasn't one of them," she said.
"Hey, I heard he was decapitated, too," a grown man interrupted.
Sarah took a deep breath. She couldn't really blame the guy—who had a sunburn identifying him as out-of-state—when even Florida schoolchildren often had the story wrong. "Osceola was a great leader, and respected even by his enemies. The treachery that led to his capture was deplorable, and despite the Indian wars raging across the country at the time, people despised General Jesup for the way he treated Osceola, who came in peace, with his safety guaranteed, and was taken anyway. But he wasn't decapitated by the U.S. Army. He was held for a while at Fort Marion, originally known as the Castillo de San Marcos, but he died of malaria up at Fort Moultrie, in South Carolina. He was attended by a shaman from his own clan, and an American doctor, a man named Frederick Wheedon, who did have his head removed and embalmed, but only after he was already dead. And," she said, unable to resist, "legend has it that Dr. Wheedon used the head to punish his children. If they behaved badly, he would leave the head on their bedposts at night. In fact, he bequeathed the head to his son-in-law—just in case his grandchildren misbehaved. His son-in-law passed it on to a man named Valentine Mott, another doctor, who kept it in a pathology museum, but the museum burned down, and the head was lost."
She had gained the silent stares of everyone in the room, of every age, and she offered them a broad smile. "You can learn a lot about Osceola and Florida's Native Americans over at Fort Marion, and we have wonderful books on Osceola and the history of the area in our bookstore. Remember, St. Augustine is over four hundred years old." She grinned at the boy who had first brought up the subject of decapitation. "All kinds of gruesome things have happened here."
She announced that her speech was over and was given a nice round of applause, and a number of people thanked her as they walked out of the lecture hall. A few lingered to examine the artifacts in the cases that lined the walls, but she noticed that the tall stranger who had drawn her attention wasn't among them.
Caroline, rising and stretching, started laughing as soon as the last of the four o'clock lecture group walked out of the room. "A few of those kids are going to wake up in the night imagining a head on their bedpost."
"Yeah?" Sarah asked. "I don't think that many kids have bedposts anymore."
"I'm sure lots of them are staying at local B and Bs.
And lots of those beds have bedposts," Caroline reminded her.
"Well, what's a story without something scary?" Sarah asked, sinking into one of the front row seats. "And I didn't make anything up." She looked at Caroline and sighed. "Now you're going to give me a speech on being nice to tourists and downplaying our more gruesome history, right?"
Caroline shook her head. "No, not today, I'm not." She frowned suddenly, distracted. "Do you think we know him from somewhere?"
"Him who?" Sarah asked.
Caroline looked at her and laughed again. "Him who was studly and cool. Oh, come on. You couldn't possibly have missed him."
"Yeah, I saw him," Sarah said. Caroline could only be talking about the man she had noted earlier in the crowd. "But what about him?"
"I felt like I knew him, or should know him, from somewhere."
"He was good-looking—"
Caroline stared at her hard.
"Okay, I admit he looked a little bit familiar, but maybe he's just so gorgeous he reminds me of a movie star or something."
Caroline shrugged. "I don't know, I just had a feeling about him…. It's like he looks like someone we once knew, only… different. I wonder if he signed in? I'll go look. And as for you scaring tourists, have some patience with the kids, huh? It's no wonder they're sounding a little gruesome. Have you seen this?"
She picked up the local newspaper, which had been lying next to her computer.
"Seen what?" Sarah asked. "I didn't read the paper today—I left right after I woke up and came here." She winced. "It's all that hammering, you know?"
"Oh, how's that going?" Caroline asked.
Which was the understatement of the year, Sarah thought. She loved the historic property she had bought after her recent return to town, but it was badly in need of not just refurbishing but reinforcement, as well. The previous owner, Mrs. Douglas, had tried to salvage it before the days of community awareness, when it might have been torn down but she hadn't had the funds to do all the necessary work. When Mrs. Douglas turned eighty, she had decided she was never going to get to it, so she decided to sell and offered the house to Sarah first, because Mrs. Douglas had been friends with Sarah's maternal grandmother. Given the house's history, the price had been amazing, another special deal because she had been so close with Sarah's grandmother, and also because Sarah's grandmother's grandmother had been born a Grant, and the property was known as the Grant House. As far as Sarah knew, her mother's side of the family had actually come from Savannah, but since the name—whether the connection was real or imaginary—had helped her to acquire the property, she was willing to go with it.
"I've wanted to live in that house for as long as I can remember," Sarah said.
"I remember, and I always thought you were crazy.
Old Mrs. Douglas never did anything with it, and we've been watching it crumble all these years," Caroline said. "Remember when Pete Albright went in that Halloween? How we made up the most horrifying stories and then dared him to go in? Some head of the football team! He came out white as a ghost, saying he'd quit being quarterback before he'd sleep in the place all night. He said he heard ghosts in the walls and could feel them trying to touch him. He was absolutely terrified."

NEW YORK RIDER MAGAZINE INTERVIEW WITH JC BERDOO ALL INFO ABOUT PRO KICK ASS GUITARIST/SONGWRITTER/VOCALIST/PRODUCER JC BERDOO "So Far"
This is the May and June 2010 issue of New York Rider Magazine that went out to 8 million readers and the very in depth interview with JC Berdoo pro guitarist/songwritter/vocalist/producer for all bikers world wide.
La-La Land May 2010 By: Krit Campbell New York Rider Magazine People use Facebook for a lot of reasons, myself included. It is cool way we to catch up with old friends, and that is why I joined. For me, it is an easy way to post our goings on, and have people know what we are up to, when they feel like checking in with us… Lets face it, now-a-days you can keep up with friends overseas easier than you can with your next door neighbor via the internet. Who'd ever of thought? About a month ago I got a friend request from a person in Cali who I did not know. I had no idea by hitting "accept friend request" I was going to meet someone who would blow my mind!… Yep- you guessed it, this is how I met the famous Berdoo. This guy is a legend. I am so psyched that he and I met, and that I have the opportunity to do this piece on him-
BERDOO HARDROCK/METAL BAND, THANK YOU KURT SUTTER, KATEY SAGAL & ALL CAST AND CREW SONS OF ANARCHY, ALSO IN THE NEW MAJOR MOVIE "THE BIKER MOVIE" BY FILM MAKER PETE ALVA COMING SOON, YOU ALL ROCK... BERDOO FROM SAN BERNARDINO CALIFORNIA USA "SEE BERDOO LIVE WITH THE BRAND NEW 5TH 10 SONG ALBUM TITLED "LEGEND" COMING SOON... JC Berdoo Guitarist/Songwritter/Vocalist/Producer
https://soundcloud.com/berdoo Contact info:
Berdoo is the front man for the band "Berdoo" from San Bernardino California, which he formed in 1985. He is not only the lead singer and guitarist, but writes all the music and lyrics as well. Berdoo started playing guitar at age 8, around the time he met Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Ian Anderson and Karen Carpenter when his father, a Worldwide Sales Rep for Rickenbacker Guitars, would entertain them at his home. At age 9 Berdoo had dinner with John Kay and Steppenwolf while in Chicago. It was these interactions with certified rock gods, and creative souls that helped to forge the creative musical path that Berdoo would follow throughout his life. People hear the name Berdoo, and know that have heard that name before, but can't put their finger on from where- Well, he does not make this easy for you to figure out. This guy is multifaceted to say the least! Berdoo does not just play guitar in a band- he does it all.. He has self produced 4 recordings, he did the original score for the HBO series Spawn, he has written and preformed jingles for companies like Snapple, he has done countless commercial radio ads, as well as being the owner of Projectunes IEM Agency representing 66 Southern California Rock acts. Berdoo actually invented the Millennium II Whammy bar for Guitars and Bass- for both electric and acoustic use. Cool huh! I could go on and on with his accomplishments- which, by the way- left me feeling like a lazy shit after reading, but I will skip to this cool fact: Berdoo is the original creator of the Motley Cruefest, that was first showcased at The Whiskey in Hollywood!!! He actually sent out the original email that sparked the frenzy!!!! To be honest, before today, I didn't even know that he started Cruefest- this guy gets cooler by the minute!!!
Berdoo, the band, has performed with bands such as Y&T, Quiet Riot, Bang Tango, Bullet Boys, Spreadeagle, Rhinobucket, LA Guns, Rebel Rebel, which you may not know, but here are a few you will recognize: Woodstock 99 (I was there, it was my birthday!!!), Sturgis 2003 with Alice Cooper, Whitesnake, Jethro Tull, Tesla, Johnny VanZant, Kansas- told you you'd know them! His list of "gigs" is longer than I'd have room to list! He has performed everywhere! Berdoo also plays as many biker events in and around California as he can find time to do.
Berdoo has been everywhere and done everything. People often feel that way about me, and I've got to honestly tell you-I am in awe of this man. Besides being the musician, businessman, biker, 81 supporter (to the max), most importantly, he is a father. He has two daughters, and a grand daughter- and they are the lights of his life. Berdoo sings about many things, you name it; he has a song about it. One of his newest recordings, titled "81" is being fine tuned as you read this article. As with most people, Berdoo's life has not been without tragedy. His song, titled "Gentle Reminder" is a tribute to his girls, which, I will let him explain in his own words:
Berdoo: The song Gentle Reminder… This song was written for all of the runaway kids in the world. I wrote this song after I found my two daughters, Tabitha and ZgiZgi who were left on the streets of LA when they were 11 and 12 years old, to fend for themselves. I found them 5 years later, and it was so sad what happened to them, and it still upsets me to this day. They are ok now; they are 18 and 20 and are doing the best they can. My ex-wife was killed in a very sad story, and so that is how this song came about. I am still single after 7 years, and live alone… somewhere…
Krit: Tell me about TopShelf…
Berdoo: The song Topshelf was written for all the USA Military Troops and I sent it to the troops in Kuwait for the Operation MySpace Concert that had Metal Sanaz, Disturbed, Carlos Mencia, Filter, Jessica Simpson, and many more major bands performing. I have footage of real war and UFO's that I got from the USA Dept. of Defense, and all used with permission. I tried to get to Kuwait to do the show live but I only had a couple of bucks and couldn't make it, so that is why I sent the video. The video can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/Berdoo
Krit: How old were you when you learned to ride?
Berdoo: I think I was 10 years old, we had about 30 people on our block that all rode motorcycles and we would go to the desert in Southern California and ride for 3 days and camp out and just go freaking crazy, the first bike my dad put me on was a Honda 55 with a back sprocket with 1000 teeth on it so it only would go a top speed of 25 mph, lol! I rode it all day for 10 hours up and down the main dirt rode till I had blisters the size of pancakes and went through 5 gallons of gas, it was so funny because I had Mickey Mouse Ears from Disney Land glued to the top of my helmet so I looked like Mighty Mouse on a red Honda 55 zooming up and down this dirt road with the look of Evel Knievel and the speed of a snail on candy bars... I finally got into motocross racing for many years and received over 100 different trophies and 250 intermediate and expert class, of coarse that was after many broken bones and a lot of bikes and a lot of Dads' money... I got my first Hardtail Chopper at age 20 and it was bad to the bone, red and chrome and a total chick magnet. I would ride all over Southern California with my sisters o'le man and had a blast. Then, in 2002, I picked up a very cool 81 Shovelhead all black with silver ghost flames out of Las Vegas, now anybody that lives there knows how cool it is to ride the strip on a Harley. I have sold the bike since 2004 to pay for a headstone for my deceased wife...
Krit: How many years have you been a club member?
Berdoo: I am not a club member or patch holder even though I wish I was, that would be a major honor and a privilege beyond comprehension, I am a blood family brother in law to the late great Glenn M. Little, Berdoo Charter. I have performed at the clubhouse 3 times, also when Sonny Barger was there for Glenn's 20 year Veterans HA Anniversary and he was given a new Harley and I say this with very much respect and honor for all HAMC and BHC brothers and sisters world wide.
Krit: In your own words, what is your connection with the show Son's of Anarchy?
Berdoo: I got involved with writing this 4th 14 song release in 2008 for the Sons of Anarchy when I first heard about the show coming on FX TV, so i put together all new material that would fit around the biker life style and any and all film scores that would follow it or for other shows that pertained to that kind of show weather it be for a series or a movie or even my live events that I've played at for many years, These songs came to me too fast and I had to scramble towrite all the lyric's down to keep up with my thoughts. The music came so naturally it was freaky, I could write 2 or 3 songs a day and then record them on the spot. I did all the guitar work which is my main instrument and then I'd do the drum and bass tracks after I had somewhat of an idea of how I wanted it to sound, I was looking for a different sound yet still heavy and hard as that is the signature sound I have had forever, then I would do the vocal tracks after the neighbors would leave to work in the morning so I wouldn't scare the hell out of them- Hahaha! I starting submitting the songs to Tina Lou and Kurt Sutter as well as Katey Sagal, along with a very long heart felt true story about myself, and the connection I felt to the show with my life as a guitarist songwriter from the band Berdoo. I think at first they were kinda shocked that I had opened my life's world and all my material to them which is an amazing true life story, Then the next thing I knew was I met Pete Alva the film maker and editor of many major biker events, shows and magazines world wide, well we starting talking a lot and he asked if I would be interested in being in his new movie, I sad hell yes it would be a great honor and when? where? and… what do you need me for? He has since filled me in about what he wants me to do in the flick and I am down for it 110%, (wow). Then, after I took it upon myself to spread the word about the movie and do ads for the season 2 of Sons of Anarchy literally posting it everywhere, and I mean everywhere, things just fell into place with my being a super friend to all of them. They even have to tell me to slow down a bit with my world wide, milky way, universe type promotions because I advertise like a madman. Last week I got an email from Pete and Katey was mentioning to him that if Pete ever lost any of her info all he would have to do is look at my info, because I probably had all her info and her phone number! Hahaha! They are the coolest people I have ever had the chance to do work with and season 3 is going to make history yet again... Hell Yea!
Krit: Do you come east to play?
Berdoo: Yes I love performing on the east coast because it freaking rocks, there are a bazillion bikers and musicians and bands on the east coast that love to party and bar-b-q and have fun for many days while being at events, The next major event I have is Sept 18th & 19th for the Indian Larry block party. This event is going to be off the hook and I say that because when I first spoke with Ms. Elisa from the Indian Larry camp I told her I would start promoting this event and that was almost a year ago, and she said, "Sure Berdoo, Go for it". Well you know how I advertise, which is sending out emails and posting ads and bulletins to the whole planet and beyond. Yeah, I think I got the message out because she received an unbelievable amount of people asking about the event and was kind of shocked that I got so many people interested in going. It was going to be the 17th, 18th, 19th of Sept 2010 (that was my idea) LOL, but now it will be the 18th for sure and a second day for the 19th might be added in New York, I think it's because I posted that there is about 1 million bikes expected, with bands, bar-b-q, beer, babes, block party, more beer and babes... hey I got the word out right...LOL
Krit: I know you met our friends LJ James and Preacher Chuck, and have done their radio show. How did this come about?
Berdoo: LJ and Chuck are the coolest dudes and re a lot of fun live on radio and in person. LJ and I hooked up on myspace about a year and a half ago and he really dug the Berdoo songs and asked me to join him and Chuck on there Biker Lowdown Radio show live in NY, well hell you know me as i said sure that would be a blast, so I called in the following Wednesday night after I sent out only 50,000 emails to friends to check out the show and it was just great, they were so cool and positive with the call in I did and we talked and joked and had a great time, i truly believe that when something like that happens it is meant to be, we all were very responsive to one another and complimented each other as it should be, will it took off like a bullet and they were laughing as I was also live on air and the many, many listeners they have everywhere were having a great time and the calls came in and the ratings meter was pushing the red zone and then the beers I had kicked in and it was just a crazy live time. Then LJ asked me to come perform at there Skullfall fest 2009 and they played some of the new Berdoo material and I guess it caught the attention of their massive listeners, so then more songs were being played. They also had other guest speakers coming into the show, which was cool. They have a great group of people that come on and speak about every issue that involves bikers world wide, that is also how I met Elisa from the Indian Larry events and all the great brothers and sisters in New York from the Mortal Skulls, They sure know how to have a great kick ass party and I want to do that again really soon...
Krit: What makes you laugh?
Berdoo: Oh great question, The 3 stooges, Obama, Married with Children, the Flintstones, Felix the Cat, Broken Strings, Broken can opener, wanna be bikers riding with sandals, that fucker that took Jax son on SOA when he gets caught, some of my guitar playing when I have a few to many cold brews, these answers...!
Krit: Who do you look up to and why?
Berdoo: First is God, my two wonderful daughters Tabatha and Zgizgi, all HAMC and BHC, all pro musicians, Ozzy, Zakk Wylde, Eddie Van Halen, Billy Gibbons, Joe Satriani, Dimebag Darrel, Randy Rhoads, Sonny Barger, all brothers and sisters world wide from the red and white, Everyone of these great people i have mentioned have made me open my mind and heart so i can see the true light within my own soul and press forward into the next adventure of life...
Krit: In your own words- Who is Berdoo??
Berdoo: Well, as you can see I have been around for a very long time.. I am a 123-year-old vampire, and a longhaired, tattooed guitar player! LOL! I think I maybe one of the most famous unsigned bands around, and although many record companies have approached me over the years, they all wanted too much money and control of what I do, so I have always told them to "f" off! I am not the kind of guy that will change who I am or what I do for the sake of a quick buck. Besides, I don't think I would look good in plaid and polka dots on stage! LMFAO!! So, I have always just kept on doing what I do figuring one day it would come back around. I never did care about the money or the big house on the hill. Still don't.
Krit: Where do you see the music industry heading in the next 5 years?
Berdoo: Well, it is not the same anymore now that the bigwig record labels have taken over. I do know that rock and hard rock music is on its way back in a big way. In my opinion, the days of rap and alternative and stupid music is done. They tried to ram it down our throats and it didn't work- at least not with me! People are smarter than that stuff, and they are sick of it. I have been to all 48 states and damn near every major City and people want to hear rock music. They want to hear what they grew up listening to, songs that hold meaning to them during certain times of their life. There are millions of people who all have their favorite songs, and for whatever the reason, they have made a lasting impression in their lives.
Krit: How does that relate to your music and your concerts?
Berdoo: I personally think that the songs that I write, and play, can change someone's life in a positive way, and that sometimes it scares me. Like the new "Biker's Law" track, for instance. Each time that track is downloaded, 50% of the sales are going to the 81 Brothers Fund, which I have set up the help Brothers and Sisters and Families in need. I mentioned this on The Biker Lowdown Radio Show I did back in June 2009, and have gotten a good response to it. It is available on iTunes and Amazon and on my site as well. Besides, I play biker shows others are leery about playing, always have and always will.
Krit: Tell me more…
Berdoo: Well, I have always put my heart, feelings and soul into my music. It got to the point that I'd have someone listen to my music while alone and it would make them trip out, or even cry. I don't use any foot pedals or whammy bars or anything extra- just my fingers, and my guitar. Once the sounds travel out of the speakers and into a persons mind and heart, it makes a full circle- that is the magical part about it for me. There are only three things on the planet that can heal anyone: they are Love, Time and Music- well maybe four things- Beer! We all have the need to feel something during a certain point, when the time is right and the music takes over and we can feel what we want, or need, to make it through. I am still here and will always be, it is what I do, and I can't just quit. I'd never make it as an employee at Jack in The Box! I plan on playing as long as the fans and friends want me to! Thank you to the NY Rider Crew for allowing me to give you and your readers a chance to see and hear what Berdoo is all about. We kick major ass at every show so come check us out. We will be performing at Indian Larry's Block Party on September 18th, which is up your way… and as always my motto is this: Tune In, Turn It Up and Stand Back- Hell Yeah!

It started with the Vault Keeper. It was resparked by Rick Grimes years later. In between and all around has been Matt Murdock.
I write in my spare time, so I set up my site to feature some writing. To promote the writing, I joined Twitter. I met a stack of people on Twitter which landed me the gig writing comic gonzo at The Weekly Crisis (weeklycrisis.com). Through all of that, I started thoughtballoons (thought-balloons.com), a comic scripting exercise site. Soon after, I slipped my foot in the CBR door. It's been a long journey from fictional to factual writer but I still wear both hats, at times.
I'm the bronzed Aussie of the CBR experience. If you think that means I look like Chris Hemsworth then feel free to ignore the image posted here. I've lived in one of the poorest areas of Australia and now live in the capital. To experience the rest of the world I utilise the Internet. I pay the bills by primary school teaching and my wife and very young son thank me for periodically dedicating time to being an Assistant Principal. One day writing will give me enough money to retire, at the moment it pays for all my comics with change.

Chief Harteau says MPD wasn't responsible for motorcycle accident that killed Ivan Romero
Ivan Romero (right) and his girlfriend.
As officers converged on the south Minneapolis basement where robbery suspect Terrence Frankin was cornered on the afternoon May 10, a police SUV struck 24-year-old motorcyclist Ivan Romero at the intersection West 26th Street and Blaisdell Avenue, killing him and injuring his girlfriend.
RELATED: Motorcyclist lies dead in the street after hitting MPD squad during police chase [PHOTOS]
Witness accounts of the accident differed. The MPD said the officer driving the SUV was traveling slowly with lights and sirens on in the moments leading up to the wreck, but others said it was going 50 mph. One witness even said the SUV didn't have its siren on.
During a news conference this morning, MPD Chief Janeé Harteau announced the results of a lengthy investigation into the fatal crash. She said investigators concluded the officers involved did nothing wrong, and no criminal charges will be filed.
Here's details from an assortment of local reporters who covered the newser:
Police: Video shows motorcycle on the ground, sliding into MPD squad in fatal crash in May; driver didn't have m/c endorsement, no MN lic.
-- Tim Nelson (@timnelson_mpr) November 14, 2013
MPD Chief Janee Harteau: no felony, misdemeanor criminal charges, no internal discipline for officer in fatal May crash.
-- Tim Nelson (@timnelson_mpr) November 14, 2013
MPD Officer Young had to weave through traffic moments before intersection, slowing to 16 to 17 mph. #Romero #MPD
-- Matt McKinney (@_mattmckinney) November 14, 2013
"This is not an example of an officer being over the line," says Chief Harteau. #MPD #Romero
-- Matt McKinney (@_mattmckinney) November 14, 2013
Just showed video of collision from trailing cop. Motorcycle hit hard, skidding on side. Looks like lost control, locked up wheels.
-- Joseph Lindberg (@JosephLindberg) November 14, 2013
Motorcycle was going 32-34 mph, cop SUV less than 20 mph. Motorcyclist had no license, no bike endorsement.
-- Joseph Lindberg (@JosephLindberg) November 14, 2013
Minnesota State Patrol saying bike inexperience played role, also, officer didn't clear intersection. But, report says no real way to avoid
-- Joseph Lindberg (@JosephLindberg) November 14, 2013
@panndder the video is intriguing, the bike was completely out of control -- there are a lot of what ifs
— Joseph Lindberg (@JosephLindberg) November 14, 2013
Today's announcement mirrors the results of the official investigation into Franklin's killing -- no officers faced discipline or charges in connection with incident either.

Fourth extra-time substitute to be allowed in later FA Cup rounds
The FA Cup is planning to allow a fourth substitution during extra time from the quarterfinals onwards as part of a test for a proposed law modification.
The change, which is subject to approval from the International Football Association Board (IFAB), will see teams who have made all three changes during the 90 minutes of a quarterfinal, semifinal or final tie permitted one additional switch during extra time.
The idea of a fourth substitute was first tested at the Copa America this summer, though...
England's Roy Hodgson believes scrapped FA Cup replays a good step
England manager Roy Hodgson believes the scrapping of FA Cup quarterfinal replays could be the first step to a winter break in the Premier League.
In a move approved by the FA board on Thursday, the last-eight stage of the cup competition will revert to a sudden-death format over one weekend in a bid to ease English football's congested fixture list.
And while there was no mention of any further initiatives in the official announcement, Hodgson thinks it could help break down opposition to the kind...

Crystal Palace agony at FA Cup heartache brings fans closer together
The dust has settled after Crystal Palace's FA Cup final agony against Manchester United but it doesn't seem to have made it any easier to take. If anything, it gets harder.
Supporters appear to be going through the five stages of dealing with FA Cup final heartbreak:
Denial that Jesse Lingard's strike actually went in.
Anger at referee Mark Clattenburg's terrible performance.
Bargaining that actually, the squad wasn't ready for the Europa League anyway.

The Bump Baby Registry
Now is the perfect time to start your Baby Registry!START A REGISTRY
Can my diet prevent my baby from developing allergies?
Nobody knows. For several years many doctors have recommended that pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers avoid certain foods such as dairy products, peanuts and other nuts, seafood, etc. However, the general opinion in allergy and immunology is that exposure to small amounts of potential allergens (substances that cause allergy) actually helps prevent allergies. And breast milk passes on only very small amounts of potential allergens to the baby that, together with antibodies and other immune factors, will help baby develop a tolerance to these allergens. There is no guarantee, of course, but the best thing is to breastfeed exclusively and do not worry.

Roasted asparagus and roasted onions are always a winning combination, but this balsamic orange drizzle puts them over the top! I used a sweet onion inplace of a purple onion, but otherwise, I made this as written and loved it. I may try to roast the veggies IN the sauce next time to get a more glaze effect. Thanx for posting.
I liked the taste of the dressing on top of the asparagus and onions. I needed to cook the onions just a few minutes more. For the dressing, I omitted the salt and sugar. Another time I'll reduce the amount of balsamic vinegar. Thanks Oolala :) Made for Alphabet chef tag game.

I have two central rsyslog server accepting UDP logs from multiple client machines.
Both are configured exactly the same.
For some reason, the 1st server doesn't get the logs from the client machines on time. I mean it will get it but delayed for about an hour or so.
The 2nd server gets the logs from the client machines on time.
As far as I can tell, there are no other process running on both servers and the loads are almost the same.
I know UDP is unreliable but I cannot figure why the 1st server is getting the logs but delayed but the 2nd server is getting it on time.

Dual-process theories hold that there are two distinct processing modes available for many cognitive tasks: one (type 1) that is fast, automatic and non-conscious, and another (type 2) that is slow, controlled and conscious. Typically, cognitive biases are attributed to type 1 processes, which are held to be heuristic or associative, and logical responses to type 2 processes, which are characterised as rule-based or analytical. Dual-system theories go further and assign these two types of process to two separate reasoning systems, System 1 and System 2 – a view sometimes described as 'the two minds hypothesis'. It is often claimed that System 2 is uniquely human and the source of our capacity for abstract and hypothetical thinking. This study is an introduction to dual-process and dual-system theories. It looks at some precursors, surveys key work in the fields of learning, reasoning, social cognition and decision making, and identifies some recent trends and philosophical applications.

This does not work on my WordPress installation however. How could I enable this? Or what keywords should I search for? I searched for "wordpress set image size in query string" and variations, but to no success.

I don't understand where this was going exactly. I was desperately trying to feel the melody, but I could not find the beat. It really sounded like two songs playing together or random notes bieng hit with a rather monotone drum loop. Work on it.

Yup, no one at the UW is working on cancer, AIDS, global warming or poverty. They're all working on "cool" contact lenses. And now that those are done, I think the school is just closing.

Because all anyone ever does in college is read books, go to class, and come up with ideas while stoned like "Wouldn't it be COOL to see things like the Terminator?"
Husky Stadium desperately needs a renovation. It's a danger during an earthquake. We like to have fun outside of school, too. I thought that was part of the college experience.
Just think of the porn potential.
Can I look beam someone into a fucking grave yet or no?
Hey, Student: maybe if you'd like to have fun outside of school, you could PAY FOR IT YOUR OWN DAMN SELF.
College athletics is the single most corrupt human activity; it makes African elections look judicious and fair. People's lives are destroyed for the amusement of nimrods like you, and their very concept of the future is poisoned. "Student" athletics should be shut down, not subsidized further.
Goddamn it, Fnarf. Stop making so much sense.
I'm not sure it is the 'single most corrupt activity', in the face of $60 billion in Wall Street bonuses a week before the shit hit the fan...
Elmer Fud's mom had better look out.
If "should" were "did" Fnarf would be a puddle of ashes and semen at a keyboard pointed towards Mecca.
Besides, they just built (and rebuilt) a large section of the stadium a mere 20 years ago.
If the geniuses behind that project couldn't create something with more than a 20 year life-span, or the U. wasn't interested in paying for something with a longer life, why should I have to shell out for it? Especially, since I'm never going to ever set foot in the place, unless Central or Western someday get Pac 10 (11? 12?) status.
I don't know much about th U of W, but I would imagine it a) costs a fortune, b) has a huge student body, and c) generates tons of revenue from football (which they don't have to use to pay for the athletes), SO....
Also, you can't have too many cool things inspired from The Terminator.

I'm sure that if the stadium were needed badly enough, SkyNet would demand it at gunpoint.
Football programs don't actually generate huge amounts of cash for the university. They generate huge amounts of cash for the athletic program. The U football coach is the state's highest-paid employee in almost every state in the union. Big-time sports is actually a huge drain on university resources, because every single player has an enormous support network devoted to baby-stepping him through his "classes" -- special dorms, special classes, special tutors, special food, special gyms, not to mention the vast network of illegal underground subsidies -- the donor cash, prostitutes, etc.
But of course virtually all college athletes come away with nothing -- no education, and no sports career either. The ones that do make it to the NFL for the most part cannot walk up a flight of stairs after a year or two, and cannot hold jobs of any kind. The average lifespan of a football lineman is under 50 years of age.
There is a vast literature on the corrupt and corrupting economics and social values of big-time college sports. Read Murray Sperber. It's America's biggest blind spot.
Fuck the stadium... animal experimentation needs to go. There are plenty of convicted Level3 Sex Offenders out there that would love to wear porn enhanced contact lenses. Leave the bunnies alone!!!
Welcome to our post-human future.
@8 UW is actually one of the few universities in the country that has an athletic department that's in the black. Not only that, but a successful athletic team really gets the alumni to send in fat checks. I certainly do wish that our society had better priorities, but as it is, investing in your football team ain't a bad idea.
You're right Gitai, a successful athletic team really does get the alumni to send in fat checks - TO THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT, where it is of no use to the rest of the university and the students who study there.
Ah, Brandon J, you're wrong!
Alumni send checks to other departments too... remember that story from a couple weeks ago? The former mayor of Everett sent an email to the President of UW offering two UW Law scholarships if the UW would fire the Athletic Director and the Football Coach?
See? Money going to other departments. :P
Why can't the UW use Qwest Field? That thing is only used seven or eight times a year as it is. I'm sure the Seahawks and the Huskies could work something out if they had to.
Gitai, you have a lot more faith in big-university sports accounting than I do. Any halfway-decent sports accountant can show exactly as much profit or loss as his employer wants, while still falling well within GAAP.
Universities are supposed to be places of education, not pro sports. Period.
