| Nikon announces its latest D-SLR camera called the D60
Nikon is one of the largest and most successful makers of digital cameras on the market and has made a full line of D-SLR and point-and-shoot digital cameras for years. Today Nikon announced the newest member if its D-SLR line called the Nikon D60. The camera will sit in the line between the D40x and the D80 in both price and features. While Nikon has declined to comment on pricing at the moment, we can get an idea of the price range the D60 will retail in be looking at the D40, D40x and D80. The Nikon D40 sells for $549.95 in kit form, the D40x sells for $699.95 in a kit and the D80 sells for $999.95 all with a kit 18-55mm lens. That would likely put the new D60 in the $800 price range. The New D60 has a 10.2 megapixel DX-format CCD sensor and exclusive EXPEED image processor.

Boys basketball: Point man spreads wealth
But also in Moore's picture was Northland, which had posted losing records in four of the previous five seasons and hadn't won a City title since 1991. It was not considered one of the chic programs in town. "Some people thought I was crazy, but I chose Northland because I wanted to do my own thing and have a hand in trying to be the start of something special," Moore said. "To tell you the truth, the uncertainty of the whole situation was kind of exciting to me." Moore didn't just choose Northland on a whim, though. "My father and I really liked the way coach (Satch) Sullinger handled kids," he said. "And I had known his son, Jared, since we were little kids. He was Northland's team manager and I knew he would go to his dad's school. The thought of us playing together for a couple years was pretty cool." Legions of rejuvenated Northland fans wholeheartedly agree.
Review: This notebook is all business
My demo unit was running Windows Vista Business, which for some reason doesn't ship with the common Codecs needed to play DVDs. Only consumer editions of Vista do; I guess Microsoft figures business people don't need to play DVDs. I didn't discover this until onboard my transcon flight, which meant four hours reading the in-flight magazine instead of enjoying the hilarity that is Superbad. Once on the ground and on the Web, with some searching I was able to download the needed codecs from a third-party Web-site; Microsoft had wanted me to pay them for an upgrade instead Woe is Vista That's not my main Vista beef, however. That lies with their overzealous anti-piracy practices. When I first received the demo notebook I unpacked it, flipped it on and began the initial automated install.
Reviving the J-School
You do need to understand your audience, your community and the business you are in. You do need to appreciate the role of independent media, grasp the explosion of communications vehicles and value the First Amendment rights of a free press. And you’d benefit enormously from a solid liberal arts underpinning as well as a defined area of expertise. That’s why we have journalism schools. Our role is to prepare better journalists, provide them the tools to enter the marketplace and meet the demands of the industry for ready-to-work graduates that probably can not be met by English majors. Isn’t that what universities do for aspiring doctors, lawyers, chemists, engineers, teachers, philosophers and even businessmen? By the way, Michigan may not have a j-school, but I’ve taught a course in its journalism program, so I’d like to think it does value what we do.
