You think the season's been fun? It gets so much better this week
Feb 11, 2013, 1:59 PM EST
The excitement of the college basketball season reached a crescendo last week.
It started with Tuesday's classic between Ohio State and Michigan, which Michigan won in overtime only hours after Arkansas walloped then-No. 2 Florida. That happened to fall on the same night that Michael Snaer hit his third buzzer-beater of the season and Wichita State lost on a blown goaltending call in the final seconds.
On Wednesday, Kansas lost to TCU, Creighton was blown out by Indiana State, Markel Brown raced the length of the court to beat Baylor in over time, Wisconsin was taken to double-overtime by Iowa and San Diego State used a last-second three to survive a visit from Boise State.
Believe it or not, Thursday ramped things up another notch, as Illinois shocked the country by beating No. 1 Indiana on a buzzer-beating layup from Tyler Griffey that capped a 13-2 run. Missouri lost at Texas A&M on a three from Fabyon Harris a matter of minutes before Larry Drew II beat Washington with a buzzer-beater of his own. Colorado came from behind to beat Oregon in the final minute while Nate Wolters was busy scoring 53 points for South Dakota State. Oh, and who can forget the three-quarter court buzzer-beater to force overtime?
That brought us to Saturday, where Ben Brust's heroics and Russ Smith's five-overtime struggles bookended a typically inexplicable Saturday. The weekend was capped with a Sunday that saw Minnesota lose to Illinois, Arizona lose to Cal, Duke barely survive BC and Scott Wood save the day for NC State in Lorenzo Brown's return.
I'm exhausted just typing that out.
But here's the best part: it's only going to get better.
Because this week is Rivalry Week. That a look at some of the games on the schedule over the course of the next seven days:
- No. 10 Kansas State at No. 14 Kansas
- No. 4 Michigan at No. 8 Michigan State
- No. 25 Kentucky at No. 7 Florida
- North Carolina at No. 2 Duke
- No. 6 Syracuse at UConn
- No. 5 Gonzaga at St. Mary's
- No. 20 Wisconsin at Minnesota
- No. 2 Duke at Maryland
- Purdue at No. 1 Indiana
- Oklahoma at No. 17 Oklahoma State
- Xavier at Dayton
Regardless of when or where these games are played, they are the kind of matchups that are must-see TV. As the saying goes, in a rivalry game, you can throw the records out the window. Fan bases will be fired up. Players will be fired up. Dick Vitale may spontaneously combust. It's everything that we love about college basketball.
Except these games are packed with so much meaning. Kansas State has a chance to go into Lawrence and drop the Jayhawks two games out of the Big 12 title race. Michigan State can do the same to Michigan. Kentucky will get another shot at proving their legitimacy at Florida. Syracuse will be making their final visit to UConn as a member of the Big East. UNC will be looking to solidify a tournament spot — seriously — by winning in Cameron. Gonzaga and St. Mary's is one of the nation's most underrated rivalries.
This week is going to be incredible.
But based on the week and the month — and, frankly, the season — we've had, you should have known that already.

MediaTek, Rockchip processors could make Chromebooks even cheaper
While most Chrome-based laptops have Intel inside, new competition could push prices even lower on these low-cost notebooks.
John Morris and Sean Portnoy deliver straight talk about notebook and desktop computers.
John Morris is a former executive editor at CNET Networks and senior editor at PC Magazine.
Sean Portnoy is a former executive editor at Computer Shopper magazine and editor at CNET Networks.
While most Chrome-based laptops have Intel inside, new competition could push prices even lower on these low-cost notebooks.
Two different versions of the Chrome-based laptop feature the Core i3-40005U Haswell CPU, with a starting price of $349.99.
The refreshed 7-inch and 8-inch tablet lineup features Intel's new Atom processors and starts at $159.99.
WiFi is wonderful, but somehow we are still stuck with lots of cables. Now Intel and others are working to eliminate the rest and deliver true wireless computing.
The vertically stacked data layers promise faster performance than solid-state drives using conventional NAND flash memory, but at a higher price.
Based on the chip giant's reference design, the laptops include rugged features and Celeron processors.
The tablet/notebook hybrid is based on Intel's latest Education 2-in-1 reference design and includes educational accessories like a temperature probe and magnification lens.
Wish you never left high school? These universal cases for tablets put a 21st-century spin on an old brand.
The $59.95 UAG Scout meets MIL-STD 810G-516.6 standards for drops and includes a built-in kickstand.
Buyers of the 4G LTE edition of Google's premium Chromebook had been promised 100MB of free data per month for two years after purchase, but now Google is providing $150 gift cards to impacted Pixel owners as Verizon says it's working to resolve the situation.

DENVER, Aug. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Direct Travel, a leading provider of travel management services in the U.S., announces the appointment of industry expert Gerard Bellino as Vice President of Leisure Travel, Business Development and Strategic Partnerships.
With over 37 years of travel industry experience, Bellino is one of the most accomplished travel management executives in the industry today, offering unparalleled knowledge and expertise in the premium and luxury markets.
In his new role, Bellino will maintain the dual focus of evaluating the company's current leisure portfolio, developing future direction and building strategic partnerships with suppliers; while concentrating heavily on the Independent Contractor community.

He will take a proactive approach as a leader to rapidly respond to changing business environments and drive initiatives that enable Direct Travel to be a leading leisure provider in the higher end market," said John Coffman, Direct Travel CFO.
"I'm eager to join the Direct Travel team, and look forward to developing and driving initiatives that will position us as a true leader in the luxury market," said Bellino.

When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series dat...

The term culture has had a polarizing effect among DevOps supporters. Some propose that culture change is critical for success with DevOps, but are remiss to define culture. Some talk about a DevOps culture but then reference activities that could lead to culture change and there are those that talk about culture change as a set of behaviors that need to be adopted by those in IT. There is no question that businesses successful in adopting a DevOps mindset have seen departmental culture change, ...

The beer was delivered in fruit juice cups with straws along with the vegetarian curries and pizzas. It was all very cloak and dagger, but delicious nonetheless.

So you can imagine, religion and pilgrimage is what this place is all about. The evening I arrived, I just stayed in the lovely backpacker place, which I had booked ahead. It is slightly out of town, about 15 mins walk to the lake and all the action. But that also means it ...

Eurogamer source claims that Traveller's Tales isn't making a Lego Harry Potter game this year. This follows rumors that a brickitized Potter title was in the works, courtesy of the folks behind Lego Star Wars and Lego Indy. Said rumor has been floating around ever since Warner Bros., which holds the wizard's movie rights, bought TT in 2007.
The Eurogamer source also claims a new installment of Lego Indiana Jones is likely to arrive this year. At this point, we're willing to believe almost any franchise can be turned into a TT Lego game. Well, that Lego Rock Band rumor is still a bit weird.

Prisons chief Nick Hardwick warns over resources
Wednesday 17 October 2012
Prisoners are spending too much time stuck in their cells watching daytime television because of a lack of resources, the Chief Inspector of Prisons has said.
Inmates were locked up and workshops were empty because there were not even enough resources to get prisoners from their cells to the activities, Nick Hardwick said.
And in some jails up to one in 10 prisoners were now saying abuse of prescription drugs handed out officially by staff was an issue for them, he said.
On one visit to Britain's largest jail, Wandsworth prison in south west London, excellent workshop facilities "stood almost empty and too many staff appeared indifferent about the prisoners in their care", he said.
Describing the situation as "shocking" and "frustrating", Mr Hardwick said prison managers would say resources to get inmates from the cell to the workshop were not there.
Cuts meant there were now fewer officers to supervise prisoners and fewer managers to supervise officers, he said.
"It would be better if prisoners were out at work and some activity, rather than lying on their backs in their cells watching daytime telly," Mr Hardwick said.
"But on the whole, the reason why they're in their cells in the daytime is either because the activity isn't available or because no-one's making arrangements to get them from the cell to where the activity is.
"If that's the case, then I don't think it's that people are making a positive choice that they'd rather watch daytime TV than go to an activity.
"It's that they're stuck in their cell and they've got that and that's there."
He went on: "In a sense I think TVs in cells are a compensation sometimes for a lack of activity and it would be better if there were more constructive things for them to do."
Too many governors and prison managers were now stuck behind desks juggling budgets rather than out on the wings setting good examples for their staff, he added.
"What tends to happen is that governors and senior managers are spending too much time in their office behind computers looking after budgets and not enough time on the wings leading by example," he said.
But he praised the management of Manchester prison, formerly known as Strangeways, where the governor was doing rounds, workshops were "busy and purposeful and wing staff knew exactly who was not at work and why".
Launching his annual report for 2011/12, Mr Hardwick said the "strains on the prison system were beginning to show" and before any further cuts, ministers need to consider that the "pressure is telling".
He also warned that problems with the abuse of prescription drugs, in particular painkillers, were spreading to mainstream prisons and was now a "major concern".
"In too many prisons now, the staff bring them out and they hand them out to prisoners in an orderly queue, or not so orderly, where they then subsequently get abused," he said.
"I think that is a spreading problem and we've seen it spread from the high security estate into the prison estate generally.
"It's very rare now that I go to a prison where that's not a significant issue."
Mandatory drug testing should be extended where possible and the GP service, pharmacies and the prison service need to work closely together to ensure inmates were getting the right treatment and prescriptions, he said.
Prescribed drugs "quite often" get stolen or bullied from vulnerable prisoners, or even sold on, he said.
"What you then end up with is people taking drugs they're not intended for, potentially mixing them with other sorts of substance which is a very dangerous cocktail.
"We see that now in pretty much every prison that we go to.
"I don't think the Prison Service is sufficiently cited on the issue."

Olympics London 2012 to Rio 2016 £2 handover coin revealed
The Royal Mint have unveiled the design of the 'London 2012 Handover to Rio' £2 Coin; the final coin in the mint's ambitious London 2012 Coin programme, celebrating the Olympic Games.
The £2 coin marks the handover from host city London to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the Games will take place in 2016. A spokesperson for the Royal Mint said: 'At the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Games, the world will be watching as London hands over the mantle to the next host city, Rio de Janeiro. To celebrate the milestone, the Royal Mint has created a collection of coins in Base Metal to Brilliant Uncirculated standard, Silver Proof, Silver Piedfort Proof and Gold Proof as a fitting way for collectors to mark the end of their 2012 Olympic journey.'
Designed by silversmith Jonathan Olliffe, who was also responsible for the 'Aquatics' and 'Gymnastic' 50p designs, the coin's reverse shows two hands meeting, handing over the Olympic relay baton. 'This is symbolic of the Olympic athlete's race but also serves as the symbol of two nations coming together, passing on the baton for future Games,' the statement from the Royal Mint read. The design also shows the flags of the United Kingdom and Brazil, while the five stripes represent the five Olympic Rings. The obverse of the coin features the current portrait of Her Majesty The Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS.
The London 2012 Handover to Rio UK £2 Gold Proof Coin is housed in a wood-veneer presentation case and comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, whilst the Silver Proof and Silver Piedfort Proof £2 Coins are displayed in a black case. The Base Metal Coin comes in a superb presentation folder featuring interesting facts about the Closing Ceremony. All London 2012 Handover to Rio UK £2 Coins are available from The Royal Mint's website www.royalmint.com.
