And what are you talking about with the zoned school? Sorry if it was unclear, my original post was trying to say that everyone who had full fare, would now have half fare, and everyone who had half, would have no metrocards at all. i believe that was the last proposed plan? Either way, its still complete +%+!#%$#. MTA isnt even losing money each year, they're just getting greedy (from the article ive read at least). dont shoot the messenger.

yea it's basically gentrification. I see kids that get on the ferry and go to school in manhattan. But once they're fazed out how many kids are still going to be doing that?Originally Posted by fac3 tak30v312

Either way they were talking about getting rid of them period .. It'll be half-fares until they completely faze them out .. If the MTA is going to messing with school metro cards then they should just bring in school buses and cut out the subsidies the MTA was getting for giving out metros. I don't know about you guys but I look at this as another form of gentrification or better yet public displacement.
David Kahn: Ricky Rubio's coming
March, 1, 2010 15:34PM ET
Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations David Kahn has a message about Ricky Rubio. In a phone conversation today, he explained:
Don'tbelieve anything you read, or any kind of emotional outburst, or anykind of emoting of any sort that he will not play here. Nothing couldbe further from the truth. I'm looking very forward to him starting hiscareer here with the Minnesota Timberwolves in what I assume will be ayear-and-a-half.
Why a year and a half?
Hedoesn't have a buyout at the end of this year. I'm assuming it will bedifficult for him to leave. Barcelona paid a lot of money for hisbuyout, about $5.3 million, they're obviously going to want to amortizethey're investment over a couple years. There is a buyout after that,however.
How do we know what he's thinking? Can you characterize where your confidence comes from? Were you over there?
Iwas over there. I saw him play in Serbia a few weeks ago. We havepeople at most of his games. There's no reason for us to thinkotherwise. We developed a very solid relationship with hisrepresentatives, and more importantly, perhaps, his family, this pastsummer. It wasn't an issue of him having any concern about Minnesotawhatsoever. I think at the end of the day he just felt that him havinga couple more years in Europe would be the smart and prudent thing forhim to do. He had a lot of input from his Spanish National teammembers, who all think he can play here, but also thought that a fewmore years of development would help him. I don't have any reason notto think that's true, either.
Has your view of him evolved at all, since drafting him?
Ithink this year he's had to play in a much more rigid system withBarcelona. It hasn't afforded him the kind of freedom he had inBadalona. But I think there's been an adjustment period, but he's madea really fine adjustment. He's on what is arguably the best team inEurope. So he's surrounded by better players, and playing at a veryhigh level. He's not playing as many minutes, because the team is sodeep. But he's starting and still playing a good 20 minutes a night.
Andwhen I saw him I thought his upper body looked a big bigger. His armshave more definition. I asked him. He told he has been lifting.
He has been working very diligently on his shot ... so we shall see.
It'samusing, too, to see that a lot of people are looking at his statisticsand complaining, yet they fail to make any connection to BrandonJennings. I believe to this day that Ricky will prove to be a veryspecial NBA player, and I fully expect him to be here in the nextyear-and-a-half.
when worthless fat #!*#@ become the in-thing in the NBA, we can probably trade Curry for Lebron & picks.Originally Posted by YEEUPP
