What's Jeremy Lin Worth to the Knicks?
Strange weekend for the New York Knicks. It left newly signed point guard Jason Kidd’s Cadillac Escalade dented on a roadside near the Southampton (N.Y.) telephone pole he collided with before being arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated. And it left the Knicks with a very sticky decision about the fate of their other point guard, Jeremy Lin.

How To Stop Wasting Time and Get More Useful Stuff Accomplished
I was caught by the title of this article on the HBR blog: The Unimportance of Practically Everything. I do tend to think that most things are relatively unimportant, and that a lot of the angst we experience on a daily basis arises from under-attending to the important stuff and over-focusing on the unimportant.

His combined payday for the bouts: $85 million.
