Editor's NoteGoing boldly where no man had gone before, Gene Roddenberry's cult phenomenon STAR TREK debuted in 1966 and reflected that decade's optimistic preoccupation with space travel. Set in the 23rd century, the series chronicled the intergalactic adventures of the U.S.S. Enterprise on its five-year mission to explore the outer reaches of space. Encountering a now-iconic assembly of innovative alien life forms such as the Klingons, Romulans, and Tribbles, the ship's jumpsuited crew was a then unheard-of font of multiculturism: Asian Sulu (George Takei), African-American Uhura (Nichelle Nichols), and Scotsman Montgomery Scott (James Doohan). But it was the contrasting personalities of cooly logical Vulcan Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy), emotionally intuitive medical officer Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), and womanizing ship captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner in definitive overacting mode) that lent the series much of its charm--and spawned a rabid cult following that continues to fuel costume sales and convention bookings to this very day. This collection presents the groundbreaking show's first three seasons. Beam me up, Scotty!

Customer Reviews of Star Trek Original Series 3 Season Pack Remastered
My Favorite Star Trek12/28/2011
Well packaged with Star Trek on one side and apparently a HD version on the other. Though I cant get the HD side to play. This transfer to DVD is very good..........pretty sharp with good colors. The improved special effects add a great touch and don't effect the show. It is the same show just improved special effects for some exterior shots. These are expensive and great to have. The prices fluctuate.......check back till you get the right price. Great service from buy dot com
Star Trek The series collection8/22/2011
I was very excited to find this collection at such a great price;other searching and sites priced up to $300. The packaging is great,looks very sharp. The only disappointment is that the episodes are not in chronological order! I can't understant the logic behind the way the episodes are set up. A little of our initial excitement went away when we realized this.
We are a Trekkie family1/2/2010
I was raised watching Star Trek and now my kids have come to love it too. We have started a family tradition of watching several episodes on any weekend we are all home together. This Enhanced DVD Collection offers great, wholesome entertainment with improved special effects than the original release. The cards enclosed with the set help you find your favorite episodes and each episode has the trailer (original preview) which is cool. A great chance for families to spend time together. Grab your popcorn, gather around the tv and enjoy.
Great Visual Update6/27/2009
The stories are the same so there is nothing new to report. If your not familiar with Star Trek this are good character driven stories. The graphics don't compare to newer star treks and the acting and story telling are very 60's. Lets face it, TV was less than 20 years old at this point. It certainly was better than what came before, but doesn't hold up to today shows. But that being said, if you like good character shows, science fiction and fun this is a good series. What I most like about this DVD set is the visual update. The fake model and backgrounds from the original are gone and the new graphics are super. I was really happy, they didn't try to jump to the graphics of say the ST movies or the newer series, but the change was better than I expected and made the overall experience very enjoyable. If you don't own the series yet, you can't beat this. If you already have an earlier version, just depends if you want to see the new look. Also the extra's where grand, really like Billy Blackburn's video treasures. This was one of the fill in characters. After seeing the 1/3 and becoming aware of the character, I noticed he was in every episode, usually on the bridge. Someone you would have never noticed. I am very happy with the purchase and highly recommend it for star trek fans.
Remastered set a success.5/8/2009
First a package description. Each of the 3 sets comes in its own custom innovative case(more about the cases later), Season-1 = 10 dual-sided DVDs, Season-2 8 DVDs, Season-3 7 DVDs for a total of 25. Side-A of each is high-def in the now obsolete "HD-DVD" format; Side-B is standard-def. The disc menu's are widescreen, the episodes of course are 4x3 format, changing automatically if fed thru HDMI. The extensive remastering is detailed in a feature of Season-1 disc-1: new CGI graphics, newly-recorded background music, etc., a smooth package. The special features can be tricky to access -- watch for "Additional Data" and ">>" buttons for more features. The cases are tricky also: an outer shell, an inner cardboard sleeve holding a book-style stack of trays hinged together on 1 edge, with disc-1 unprotected, all a hassle. A set of plastic index-cards lists the episodes on each disc. I immediately loaded all 25 discs into a 400-disc megachanger to avoid the hassle. Otherwise I would have considered putting the discs into individual thin jewel-cases or clam-shell cases for better protection. The many special features detail casting, incidents, current activities of cast-members, etc. Altogether a great package, priced right.
A great make over4/9/2009
I've been a fan of the original series since I was a boy. This show set a new level for a Sci Fi series and paved the way for many more to follow. I'd seen a few of the remastered shows on television and decided that I wanted to own the complete set. I've not been disappointed. It's great re-visiting the enterprise, especially seeing it, in all it's amazing CGI glory. If you enjoy the show and want to see the best in current effects wizardry, then this set is for you. You'll love it.2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
As good as I expected12/9/2008
Delivery was really fast after release date! Remastered DVD were fantastic, especially some of the added scenes.My VCR copies of the originals series look cartoonist compared to the DVDs.
Confused about HD-DVD11/27/2008
As big fans of the series my wife and I were anxious to purchase the full 3 season set when it became available. I shopped around and found Buy.com having the best price and I pre-ordered it since it was not yet shipping. It arrived early, to our pleasent surprise. Upon opening and examining it we noticed that the discs were double sided and that one side was in HD-DVD. OK, so obviously these were manufactured before the outcome of the Hi Def DVD wars were over and now with Blue Ray winning those wars the only thing one can do to watch these in Hi Def is to find a HD-DVD player...Does Buy.com have any for sale???

HDTV on GeForce 6150
How do you enable 1080i HDTV output on the GeForce 6150? By default, it outputs at 1024x768 and looks terrible.
Re: HDTV on GeForce 6150
it depends on what cable you're using, S-video and composite-video (yellow cable) will only allow you to output at that resolution, i believe you need dual-link DVI, or possibly regular DVI, or it might use the composite HDTV cables (red,green,blue) that's the only way to get that resolution across i believe
Re: HDTV on GeForce 6150
You need to use DVI to HDMI cable, or a DVI-DVI cable if your TV has DVI. I use a DVI-HDMI cable from my 6800GT to my TV which has 2 HDMI inputs, and I can select 720p, 1080i and other resolutions too (and 1080p too, but my TV doesn't support 1080p).

Strategically located on Michigan's west shoreline, Muskegon is an old economic powerhouse dating back to the mid-19th century. The economic strength was then driven by lumber and shipping. As the 20th century unfolded, lumber declined and was replaced by diverse manufacturing, with good access to auto markets to the east and a number of major manufacturing markets across Lake Michigan. As a manufacturing center specializing in foundries and machining, the area declined somewhat in the last half of the 20th century but has enjoyed a resurgence due to its attractive summer climate and extensive water and beach amenities.
Tourism is big in the area. Developmental zones and new industrial parks have attracted some new business to the area, and employment is on the upswing. The new prosperity has brought improvements to the schools and downtown. Endowments have supported some above-average arts amenities. Michigan's Adventure, supposedly the largest amusement park in the state, adds entertainment and tourist appeal. The area is on the upswing and the cost of living is low, but some may not like the climate. Additional city services are available in Grand Rapids 30 miles southeast or in Chicago 3 ½ hours southwest. Milwaukee and Chicago are also accessible by the Lake Express high-speed ferry, a nice 2 ½ hour ride that is a bit expensive. Norton Shores is a mainly residential community with some industry and agriculture presence, 5 miles southwest.
Muskegon is located on the Lake Michigan shore at the mouth of the Muskegon River, about 100 miles north of the southern tip of the lake. The area is flat with coastal grasslands, marshes and sand dunes giving way to forested hills to the north. The climate.is continental and heavily influenced by Lake Michigan. Summer days are mostly cool and breezy with pleasant evenings and some thunderstorms. The lake effect prolongs spring and fall, giving gorgeous fall seasons especially in the hardwood forests to the north. Fall and winter can be especially cloudy, and the location along the lake brings frequent clouds, winds, and snow. However, bitter cold outbreaks are less frequent than in Wisconsin or central parts of Michigan. Persistent clouds may break for days at a time when cool, dry air arrives from the north. First freeze is early October, last is May 1.

Cornell had a "decent" wrestler at 165 this year in that Mack Lewnes fella.
Anceravage was only a junior, so wrong again. I suppose you could theorize him bumping up to try and recover your argument again, but like Leen that'd be his second weight that he bumped within two years.
Leen started at 141, he'd be jumping up THREE weight classes if he moved up again. I just don't see it happening...

Generally quite hard to come by, but growing slowly, Hits Hard bats are well worth the money! I had one of the very first Hits Hard bats and my collection is now up to three! Ridiculously good rebound off the face, even a nice rebound off the toe once knocked in... This is also coupled with the fantastic overall look of the bat, plus the familiar light pickup of a Salix (due to the specialist handmade touch). For example, I have a 2.12 which picks up more like a 2.9/2.8... All in all, awesome!!… Read Full Review

Dear Sir,
Sorry to hear that the item required was out of stock, I have looked into the matter and it seems this was an old item showing online in error, however, the website did not actually show the item as "In Stock".
My colleague Paul emailed you at the earliest opportunity on Monday morning as you had placed your order over the weekend. He advised that the bag was unavailable, offered to look at alternatives and apologised for the inconvenience. After a couple of emails between you, you asked for the order to be cancelled.
The order was cancelled and no payment was taken from your card.
Our website is kept up to date with a reliable stock control system but the odd error like this can occur and when it does we do our best to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
I'm sorry you have been disappointed on this occasion.
Best regards,

"The consumption of television programming: development and validation of the connectedness scale"
Russell, Cristel Antonia
Norman, Andrew T.
Heckler, Susan E.
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectTelevision programs; Television--Psychological aspects; Television broadcasting--Social aspects; Television viewer--Psychology; Mass media--Marketing
The consumption of television programming is of particular interest to consumer researchers because of the potential influence of television characters as referent others. Connectedness characterizes the intensity of the relationship(s) that viewers develop with television programs and their characters. We describe a threephased research program that develops and presents preliminary validation of a measure of connectedness. We differentiate connectedness from the related but distinct constructs of attitude and involvement. The potential of the connectedness scale to further our understanding of the consumption of television programming and its psychological and sociological effects on viewers are articulated and tested in a series of studies.

48 year old man | Ponchatoula, LA, USA | Seeking women 30-45 within 50 miles
Been here a couple of weeks and come to realize many things...............
-------UPDATE: I have come to realize just how lucky I am. After reading a lot of the "about me"of the myriads of beautiful women who were married for many years who seem sincere (at least from what was typed) now are divorced and with children had made me wonder what went wrong. Then I saw it. Most have written about looking for the perfect guy and never would judge a book by its cover, yet they seem to keep attracting the same type of guy.....and really do you need to type drug and disease free, lol. It would seem a bad choice that you went that far not knowing. seems looks meant everything.I now am glad I am not the athletic type that seems to be the perfect choice. I am exercising and taking better care of myself for me first. I am not the perfect choice for anyone that shallow. I am the choice if you really believe what you want. Yes I am lonely but best to be lonely than to lie to play games, hook-up or all the other stuff that goes on here. Before I would sleep with anyone I first have to conscientiously be able to sleep with myself as who I am. There you have it, HONESTY. If I have offended anyone I am sorry.. we are all here because we deserve more, ----- Taking long walks on the beach is fine (if every now and then with fishing pole). I am at a cross-road in my life, out with the old and in with the new (ways of thinking, feelings and resources. Not referring to anyone.) I was married for eight years to a much younger girl whom decided she wanted children immediately and to move back home with her sick mother. We are still friends with no regret. My ideal match must like to cuddle and preferably has a sense of humor. And did I say a sense of humor. I have a slightly higher IQ and come off as a little witty. Not arrogantly. I am a geek by trade (Architecture). Looking for a woman not afraid to sleep with the windows open (have screens), knows what a stove is and its uses (I will never demand a meal) and likes to laugh and smile.....also who doesn't need to spend hours to get ready to only then put makeup on in the car. Would rather the country than the city and yes I have a shotgun, rifle and a four wheel drive. I have guns and love to shoot. Not a hunter. Not to big into sports, know the basics about them all just not a big fan. Too many other things to do, shouting at a tv does not appeal to me. Would rather be giving a massage......... You could watch the game, I will just watch you. If I could turn myself into the "Perfect Guy" Sean Connery would be my pick; the younger version. OK, now for the weird stuff. I am on a computer most of the day for my job. Since it is just me and the cat, I am on it at night too. Not this match thing. I believe I will be the first to reach the end of the internet. I spend every moment pondering the universe to make myself a better person and to help friends or family. If there is a question or something I need to look up or invent, the internet is my source of knowledge. I have ADHD and refuse to take medicine for it. I control my own actions. Most of this will come almost to a complete halt upon finding you. I spend a lot of time in Baton Rouge for work and visiting family. Now even weirder. I love to give massages, granted it has been a while. You should be smiling most of the time. I will do almost anything to keep it there. I do sometimes cry watching movies. Worst as I get older, such a sap. The girls at work laugh about it. I enjoy working outside. When I am bored I cut my grass or do some landscape. --------------------------I am not looking to "Hook-up." I am not that brave nor in that great of shape to wish anyone else my exposure, lol. I am looking for that perfect smile. Dazzle me with your inner beauty to start. I may put you on a pedestal but only to be mesmerized by your beauty like art. Not smoke and mirrors to get one thing. Being upfront, I am actually scared of the dating scene. The girls at work suggested I do this.
Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos
Bowling, Golf, Other types of exercise
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Cats
I have a cat. What I got out of the divorce. She (the cat) is an excelent listener. Doesn't complain and I can give her food and water and be off for long weekends. Almost maintenance free.
Middle of the Road
Anywhere other than work. I am not afraid of driving. Of Course where ever you are.
Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, Baton Rouge, LA
I listen to almost anything from Big Band, Country and Pop. Not a fan of heavy metal. Don't watch tv, the news is depressing. I won't be held down by the man, lol. I like to watch movies. Not too scary.
Making people laugh and feel good. Eating with chop stix. Trying to play the guitar.

1. Two of the top ten 450 riders in Seattle SX were from our area, Barcia and Nicoletti. Pretty cool.
2. When Erin Bates asked Barcia about growing up riding in upstate NY, Orange County isn't upstate, those yahoo's in Oneonta and points north are upstate, we're close enough for NYPD and FDNY to live and commute from.
3. If RV dnf's in Salt Lake and Milsapps/Dungey go 1/2 LasVegas will be apossible 3 way scrum separated by 2 points?
4. I like Erin Bates but she doesn't need to be like a hovering vulture like she was when Reed was walking away from the first turn melee. Give the guy a break what are you going to ask him, "what happened?" wtf does she think happened? They didn't show if she ever got him to the mic but when you saw Reed walking away you could see her running his way camera guy in tow.
5. Whatever happens Milsapps is a big winner this year and the big story form this year his reception at the outdoors races should be huge and deservedly so. He made reference earlier in the season when asked what has made the difference and he said he's finally healthy. Sad to think he's been riding hurt one way or another for years but it's fair to say he has, and he obviously belongs in any conversation about top 5 riders at this point in time. He is one of the elite and his results this year bear that out he can flat haul ass on a 450. Awesome season for Milsapps wherever he finishes.
6. Wouldn't Seattle be better if they mixed the dirt 50/50 with sand that track looked like outdoors. Whats the point? And who builds a stadium in Seattle without a roof?
7. Barcia's jersey was really cool I want one.

26 year old man | Bedford Park, IL, USA | Seeking women 18-24 within 25 miles
You should message me if.. You don't take yourself or life too seriously. I'm looking for a girl that enjoys great laughs and a good time.
I'm 24 years old, graduated from U of I, and have officially made the transition to the working life. I'm outgoing, love reading, watching good movies, and listening to all types of music. Enjoy going out downtown but also enjoy staying home and chilling out just as much. I am a workout and health freak. I have come to embrace the fact I am a huge nerd. I'm open to meeting new people and forming new friendships and relationships. Blah blah blah, yada yada yada. Some of the things that I find funny: the Grape Lady video (if you don't know what that is YouTube it asap), wedding crashers, Dave Chappelle's stand up, The Daily show, Tosh.0, and South Park. My teams: Bears, Bulls, White Sox, Hawks. The cubs are a joke. My pet peeves: people that chew with their mouth open, having wet jean bottoms, hearing someone scratch a chalk board, someone constantly being on their phone, double negatives, dirty screen, people who take up two parking spaces, gossip, all caps lock text, terrible movie etiquette, and ignorant comments. I spend a lot of time thinking about:My future, paradoxes, life, my college days, and how far I'd make it on survivor The six things I could never do without: Family/friends, sleep, working out, hot shower, my dachshunds, and good food. I'm really good at: My job, staying fit, playing the piano, reading people, listening, words with friends, solving 2x2 sized Rubik's cubes, cuddling, massages, sleeping in, making grilled cheese, and I'm insanely good at Tetris. Side note... *your = Belonging to or associated with the person or people that the speaker is addressing *you're = Contraction of you are I'm not a English professor grading research papers but come on hahaha Grammar makes a difference people: Let's eat, Grandpa! Let's eat Grandpa! See?

A Chilly July?
The economy will be hot in the near term, but come July, there may be some cooling off.
11:00 PM, Mar 29, 2004 • By IRWIN M. STELZER
THE BEST ADVICE for today's investors may have been penned some 350 years ago by the poet Robert Herrick, "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, . . . this same flower that smiles today, tomorrow will be dying." The American economy looks set for robust growth this quarter and next. After that, many experts are saying that the outlook is not quite so bright.
The economy grew at an annual rate of 4.1 percent in the final quarter of last year, and will probably grow a bit faster than that in the first half of this year. Sales of new homes last month were up 24.4 percent over the February 2003 total, reducing the inventory of unsold homes to a level so low that housing construction will remain strong. Sales of capital goods are up, suggesting continued improvement in the manufacturing sector. Consumers continue to spend. Little wonder that most economists are relaxed about the economy's performance through the second quarter.
But many of these same economists are unwilling to project that cheerful scenario further into the year, and some are predicting that we will see a decline of at least 10 percent in share prices as the problems that are waiting around the corner become more visible to investors.
START WITH OIL PRICES. Until last week, when a jump in U.S. inventories eased immediate concerns about further rises in crude oil prices, those prices seemed on a one-way escalator. Whether they will rise further will depend in part on what the OPEC cartel decides when it meets later this week, but it seems safe to conclude that no major softening is in sight. Producing countries want to make up for the reduced purchasing power of the dollars they are getting for their oil, and are convinced that if they fail to carry out planned production cuts, prices will fall by at least $7 per barrel.
Higher crude prices mean higher gasoline prices. But right now other factors are driving up pump prices. Inventories of gasoline are low, demand is growing at a rate of close to 5 percent, many refineries are shut down for maintenance, and air-quality rules require different gasoline formulations in different cities, limiting the ability of refiners to move gasoline to supply-short areas.
Government economists say that every 10 percent increase in crude oil prices can reduce the rate of growth in GDP by about 0.1 percent. Since prices this year are up by about 15 percent, the increases so far experienced shouldn't have a major impact--0.2 percent at most--on the economy.
THAT'S WHAT THE ECONOMIC MODELERS SAY. But they aren't counting on the psychological effect of the rise in gasoline prices to more than $2 per gallon for premium-unleaded gasoline in many parts of the country.
Consumers see the higher prices every time they fill up their tanks. A typical consumer drives about 10,000 miles per year, and consumes about 500 gallons of gasoline. So a 50-cent-per-gallon price jump costs a two-car family $500 per year--double that for owners of big sport-utility vehicles that guzzle more gasoline and are typically driven more miles.
IT IS NOT ONLY gasoline prices--and their effect on consumers' pocketbooks--that has economists nervous about the second half of the year. The greatest short-term risks to the economy, according to the economists who gathered in Washington last week for a meeting of the National Association of Business Economists, are a weak jobs market and a burgeoning federal deficit.
If the jobs market doesn't improve, consumers may become nervous. Not because the unemployment rate is unduly high--it isn't--but because those in work are being bombarded by Democratic politicians with scare stories about the possible outsourcing of their jobs, and might decide to rein in spending. More important, consumers are receiving some $50 billion in tax refunds this month and next, and will probably have spent whatever portion they plan to use for cars, clothes, flat-screen television sets, and digital cameras by the time July 1 rolls around. That spending will add about 0.75 percent to the economy's growth in the first six months reckons Marc Sumerlin, a former White House economist who is now managing director of the Lindsey Group.
The end of that tax-rebate stimulus, combined with higher oil prices, might in combination shave about a full percentage point from second-half growth, lowering it 3.0 - 3.5 percent from its current rate. Worries about the jobs market might lower growth a bit more. Still, not a bad outlook, especially if business investment takes up the slack, as it well might.

One option to reduce risks is to invest in mutual funds with short-term bonds
Interest rates remain historically low, but even a small increase like this year's climb in Treasury yields can have a big impact on fund returns. In fact, five of the 14 taxable bond fund categories that Morningstar tracks are down this year, with losses of as much as 2 percent.
A mutual fund's returns will vary because the manager must continually reinvest as bonds mature. Losses can occur when a fund generates less interest income, or yield, than going market rates. This year's small rise in Treasury yields means previously issued bonds, which pay a lower interest rate, are now worth less. A fund with too much invested in those older bonds can end up with losses. That's because a fund's return is a function of bond price changes as well as the yield, or interest payments, that bonds generate.
It's important to keep perspective. While investors should be mindful of rate risks, the Federal Reserve has committed to keep borrowing costs low as long as unemployment remains high. That means a sharp rate increase is unlikely in the short term. However, the Fed could begin to push rates higher if the pace of economic recovery picks up, and inflation rises above its current 2 percent.
With inflation risks in mind, star bond trader Bill Gross, manager of the world's largest mutual fund, Pimco Total Return, offered advice in a commentary to investors: "You should avoid (long-term bonds), and confine your maturities and bond durations to short/intermediate targets supported by Fed policies."
Long-term bonds are generally defined as those that mature, or pay back principal, over six years or longer. A better option, he says, are short-term bonds that generally mature in less than 3½ years, and intermediate-term bonds maturing in less than six.
The shorter the average maturity duration of bonds in the portfolio, the less vulnerable the fund will be to rising rates.

One game not enough for Chaney
Friday, February 25
The message from Saint Joseph's assistant athletic director Marie Wozniak was that head coach Phil Martelli was too upset to return a phone call.
His senior forward, John Bryant, was possibly out for the season with a fractured arm, a direct result of a premeditated foul by Temple's Nehemiah Ingram on Tuesday night.
Bryant's senior season, his career and possibly Saint Joseph's NCAA Tournament hopes could be over.
Temple coach John Chaney, the Hall of Fame coach and Philadelphia institution, ordered Ingram to be a "goon" in the game because he was upset about illegal screens by the Hawks in their previous meeting this season.
Ingram fouled out in four minutes. Chaney apologized Wednesday for his actions and suspended himself for Saturday's game against Massachusetts.
Temple and the Atlantic 10 should take it a step further. They should suspend Chaney for the rest of the season and possibly ask for his resignation. This was an egregious act. It was ugly on tape when Bryant was thrown to the court. It's even worse knowing that a player's season and career and a team's postseason plight are directly affected by a premeditated act.
Ingram should be gone, too. According to Temple, Ingram was going to be allowed to play the rest of the season. If Atlantic 10 commissioner Linda Bruno had any power, she would suspend Ingram and lean hard on Temple athletic director Bill Bradshaw to take more action against Chaney.
Bradshaw told ESPN.com that Chaney was genuinely apologetic Wednesday. Fine. But the situation got worse Thursday after Bryant's MRI results. Chaney is one of the game's great coaches, worthy of his Hall of Fame induction, but his actions Tuesday night were deplorable. Ingram just followed orders.
Suspending Chaney won't be a popular decision, but something more has to be done now that Bryant's career is over. He was the innocent victim here. The stain of this incident unfortunately will cast a shadow over Chaney's illustrious career.
Vermont to name a coach by this weekend?
Lost amid the good vibes flowing Thursday night in Burlington was that assistant coach Jesse Agel was told this week that he won't be replacing Tom Brennan after 17 years as his assistant.
Agel kept a low profile throughout Thursday, trying to celebrate with the rest of the squad and staff, but understandably ruffled by the ongoing events.
Sources say the Catamounts could name Maryland assistant and former Catholic University coach Mike Lonergan their new head coach by the end of the weekend.
Committee talks RPI
Thursday, February 24
In November, we were told the RPI doesn't mean much and were discouraged from even using it in any of our on-air discussions or in the written form.
Yet, the RPI dominated three-fourths of the first conference call with NCAA Tournament selection committee chair Bob Bowlsby of Iowa.
Bowlsby said the RPI hasn't outgrown its usefulness yet and did discuss the new weighted system that gives more emphasis to road wins.
But remember, this isn't supposed to mean much.
"We use it as a point of reference," Bowlsby said during a Wednesday teleconference. "It's a tool and it's filling its role nicely."
These news conferences are so redundant. You can replace the name of the selection committee chair and the answers are always the same. Media members will toss out certain situations with schools, offering up scenarios with various bubble teams, and the committee chair will take the party line that he can't discuss individual cases.
But Bowlsby did say that, at some level, they would actually look at a team (whether it's for selection or seeding) and see whether that team passes the eye test.
"A team might not have as good a number as another team but we'll ask if you'd want to draw this team in the tournament," Bowlsby said. "That's where the subjectivity comes in to play. We draw upon the former coaches and staff. When it gets tight, sometimes someone will look at three teams and say this is the one that I don't want to play."
And that's the one that would get picked.
This is the kind of stuff that really determines whether or not an ACC team with an average record (Maryland) gets in over a mid-major with a gaudy record that doesn't win its conference tournament.
This is also a way in which the committee could push a team to a top line (say North Carolina) even if the numbers don't necessarily add up in the RPI.
Debut for Leibovitz
Temple assistant coach Dan Leibovitz, a Penn grad from '96, will make his coaching debut when he replaces Hall of Fame coach John Chaney for Saturday's game against UMass.
Chaney suspended himself for sending out a "goon" in the form of Nehemiah Ingram, who fouled out in four minutes Tuesday night against Saint Joseph's. One of his fouls sent the Hawks' John Bryant to the floor, landing on his hip and elbow.
Leibovitz has been the unsung member of the Owls' staff for years, doing the majority of the grunt work behind the scenes from scouting to individual workouts to personal appearances for the school.
Leibovitz isn't sure if Chaney will be at Saturday's game or in the locker room. Ingram will be allowed to play, according to Leibovitz.
Temple athletic director Bill Bradshaw said Temple's players still had to apologize to Saint Joseph's team after the incident.
"We still need to do more and mend our relationship with Saint Joe's," Bradshaw said.
Meanwhile, Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli said Bryant is doubtful for Saturday's game at Rhode Island, with an MRI on the right elbow pending.
Lost amid the controversy over Chaney's remarks and tactics was the Hawks' A-10 East title, their fifth straight. That's quite an accomplishment for a team that looked like it was a non-factor during the nonconference season, with a 3-8 record outside of the A-10.
But the Hawks have cruised through the conference with a 12-1 mark and are at least in the conversation for an at-large bid if they don't win the tournament.
"The story all day has been about (Temple) and not about what this team accomplished," Martelli said. "What this team accomplished needs to be the story."
Don't count out Holland
Terry Holland could still name himself to replace Bill Herrion at East Carolina. The ECU athletic director wanted coaching jobs in the last seven years, notably at Minnesota, so looking at taking his own gig isn't out of the question.
No pressure in Iowa City
Steve Alford and the Iowa coaching staff aren't feeling any heat from within the administration, according to a source close to the program.
Iowa felt great about a recruiting pickup by getting a commitment from Canadian guard Nathan Skinner. The Hawkeyes are likely headed to the NIT again, but return the core of their team next season.
Kentucky back to the early-morning hour
Kentucky coach Tubby Smith didn't think he would resort to 6 a.m. February practices with this team.
That was until the Wildcats lost to South Carolina on Tuesday night.
Thursday morning at 6 a.m., the 'Cats were going through shooting drills. They were scheduled for a practice later in the day, too.
The initial intent of previous February early-morning practice sessions was to get a handle on any nighttime activities as the postseason drew closer, according to spokesperson Scott Stricklin. But with this young team, that didn't seem to be an issue.
Now, it appears the early shooting is a bit more punitive for the substandard play Tuesday night.
POY candidates
Wednesday, February 23
ESPN.com will announce its player of the year and all-American teams next week, but the Wooden Award needs our ballot Wednesday.
The Wooden Award, which is one of the three major player of the year awards with the USBWA Oscar Robertson and Naismith Award, seems to get the most national play because of its television deal with CBS.
As a member of the national advisory board, here is my ballot that will be forwarded to the committee.
1. Andrew Bogut, So., Utah -- Averaging 20.4 points, 11.9 rebounds a game. Without him, the Utes wouldn't be 23-4, 11-1 in the Mountain West -- they would be somewhere near the bottom of the league. That's from Utah coach Ray Giacoletti. No player has been as dominant as Bogut nor meant as much.
2. J.J. Redick, Jr., Duke -- Few players have changed their game as much as Redick. He's averaging 23 points a game and shooting 42.4 percent on 3s.
3. Salim Stoudamire, Sr., Arizona -- Coach Lute Olson keeps talking about how proficient a shooter Stoudamire has become for the Wildcats. Stoudamire leads the team in scoring (18.6 ppg) and 3-point shooting (56 percent). There is no more need to politic.
4. Jared Dudley, So., Boston College -- Could end up being the Big East player of the year. He's the most versatile player in the league, averaging 16.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists.
5. Chris Paul, So., Wake Forest -- Paul is the best playmaking guard in the country and the one who most coaches would pick to have the ball on the last possession. He's averaging 15.1 points, 6.8 assists and 2.4 steals a game.
6. Sean May, Jr., North Carolina -- May has been the most consistent player for the Tar Heels. He's averaging 15.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and gives the Tar Heels the necessary balance they need to compete for a national title. Raymond Felton, Rashad McCants have all had solid seasons but no one seems to be as important as May.
7. Dee Brown, Jr., Illinois -- Brown is the catalyst for this team, the one player who seems to make the big plays when their needed most. Brown is averaging 13.6 points, 4.8 assists and 2 steals a game.
8. Deron Williams, Jr., Illinois -- Williams has been the constant presence, keeping this team grounded in the backcourt with his 12.5 points and team-leading 6.8 assists a game.
9. Luther Head, Sr., Illinois -- Head gets his shots because of Brown and Williams and it's hard to leave out the team's leading scorer (16.5 points) on the country's only undefeated team.
10. Ike Diogu, Jr., Arizona State -- Few players have been as dominant at their position than Diogu, who is averaging 22.2 points and 9.7 rebounds. The problem is his team has been wildly inconsistent.
11. Craig Smith, Jr., Boston College -- BC coach Al Skinner is getting behind Smith's candidacy for player of the year and it's hard to argue with his 17.9 points and 8.7 rebounds a game. But opposing coaches may give the nod to Dudley.
12. Hakim Warrick, Sr., Syracuse -- Warrick had an off night against BC but otherwise he's been a rock with 20 points and 8.3 rebounds a game. The Orange still think he's the best player in the country.
13. Wayne Simien, Sr., Kansas -- The Jayhawks are in the midst of a three-game slide but Simien has still been their most stable performer with 18.6 points and 10.8 rebounds a game.
14. Francisco Garcia, Jr., Louisville -- Garcia makes big shots every time the Cardinals need one (see: recent Marquette game). He's been a solid contributor in every facet of the game with 16 points, 4 assists and 2 steals a game.
15. Joey Graham, Oklahoma State -- If the Cowboys beat Kansas and win the Big 12 then Graham will likely be the Big 12 player of the year. Graham is averaging 17.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and shooting 51.3 percent on 3s.
Coaching carousel
East Carolina started it off early with the announced firing of Bill Herrion.
San Jose State hasn't confirmed a Bay Area newspaper report but it has long since been expected that Phil Johnson will be out at the end of the season.
Siena could still send Rob Lanier packing and Virginia's Pete Gillen knows he could be gone, too.
The timing of the ECU firing was odd. Herrion has had a rough go in Conference USA, notably on the road, but the Pirates will be more competitive once the big boys in Conference USA like Cincinnati, Louisville, Marquette and DePaul exit for the Big East.
According to a source close to Herrion, he will finish the season. Ironically, Herrion could easily win his last three games against Southern Miss, Houston and at Tulane and finish on a high note. The Pirates won at UAB last week.
Don't be surprised if former Virginia coach and current athletic director Terry Holland goes back to his Virginia family tree and at least interviews former Virginia Tech and current South Carolina assistant Ricky Stokes.
If Siena does cut Lanier loose then the three assistants on a short list are expected to be Georgia Tech's Cliff Warren, Boston College's Bill Coen and Syracuse's Mike Hopkins.
Tulsa is actively searching for a head coach and the list keeps getting longer with former North Carolina coach Matt Doherty, Fresno State coach Ray Lopes, ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla, Texas assistant Rodney Terry, Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton, Oklahoma State assistant James Dickey and Oklahoma assistant Bob Hoffman.
Add interim USC coach Jim Saia's name to the New Mexico State coaching list that also includes Arizona State assistant Tony Benford, Dickey, current interim coach Tony Stubblefield, former Georgetown coach Craig Esherick, former SMU coach Mike Dement, former USC coach Henry Bibby, among others who are pursuing the job.
UConn's Anderson survives ordeal
Tuesday, February 22
Connecticut junior guard Rashad Anderson and coach Jim Calhoun told ESPN.com Monday night that Anderson should be back on the court for the season finale against Syracuse on March 5. If he's not ready then, he should return for the Big East tournament.
"Once I get my stitches out, then I should be fine," Anderson said. "I'd say I'm two weeks away. When I feel comfortable I'll be out there. I can run a bit now. I was on the treadmill at the hospital."
Anderson was released from Hartford Hospital on Monday and went straight to the Huskies' shootaround prior to Monday's game against Notre Dame.
"The best-case scenario is for the Syracuse game," Calhoun said. "Otherwise it will be for the Big East tournament."
Anderson said he's lucky to be alive. The wound on his right groin started as an infected hair that looked like a pimple. Anderson said he picked at it and didn't treat it properly, allowing the infection to spread.
Anderson, who spent nearly two weeks in the hospital after being admitted on Feb. 8, suffered kidney and breathing problems.
"When they cut my leg open, all the tissue in my groin was dead, black, and they had to cut it out," Anderson said. "I'm grateful to be alive. If I'd waited another day, I could be dead. I probably shouldn't have played against Syracuse [Feb. 7], because I irritated it and it grew to the size of a grapefruit.
"I've got to see the kidney doctors to make sure everything is fine before I can play," Anderson said.
Velma Anderson, Rashad's mother, said at one point her son asked for a tracheotomy.
"But he made the turn and I just told him to keep breathing," she said.
"That Friday [Feb. 11] was the worst day of my life," Anderson said. "My kidneys shut down, my lungs filled up with fluid and I was in and out of consciousness. All I was thinking about was my daughter and my family. I didn't care if I could ever play basketball again."
Anderson looked good but noticeably more slender Monday night.
Big East POY Should Be ...
The Big East player of the year should be ... Boston College sophomore Jared Dudley, according to Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun.
That's right, Dudley. Not his teammate, junior forward Craig Smith, or Syracuse forward Hakim Warrick. Coaches can't vote for their own players, but BC coach Al Skinner has already anointed Craig Smith as the candidate he's pushing.
That's the politically correct thing to do, since Smith is one class ahead of Dudley.
But Calhoun makes a strong case for Dudley. In 12 Big East conference games, Dudley is fourth in scoring (18.9 ppg in league games), third in rebounding (8.4 rpg), sixth in field-goal percentage (48.4), eighth in steals (1.67), 12th in free-throw percentage (75.6) and seventh in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.81).
"It's Dudley," Calhoun said after the Huskies' 88-74 win over Notre Dame on Monday night in Hartford. "Dudley is fourth in our league in scoring and third in rebounding. He's the Most Valuable Player on that team. If they win the Big East, then he should be the player of the year. If we win it, then I'll say who it should be."
Williams Thriving After Receiving Calhoun's Wrath
In Connecticut's win over Notre Dame, sophomore point guard Marcus Williams was one rebound shy of a triple-double: 17 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds.
Williams has been on a tear lately. He notched 26 points, 22 assists and only four turnovers in his previous two games (at Providence and at Rutgers) before Monday night's performance.
Williams, who leads the Big East in conference games with 8.1 assists, attributes his resurgence to Calhoun.
"He's been on me since the first day of practice," Williams said. "December was the low point after we lost to UMass. He was tough, always on my back about the turnovers, trying to make the home-run pass and the alley-oops."
"I was killing him," Calhoun said. "He was getting 51 percent of the criticism in practice, the rest of the team was getting the other 49. I knew he's as good a passer as I've had here. I pushed and pushed him. Whatever he did wasn't good enough. I've been unmerciful on him."
Williams didn't play in the second semester last season because he was academically ineligible. Yet Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said Williams plays with such familiarity with this year's team that it seems like he was on the championship squad.
"It's difficult to be a point guard for Jim because there is so much pressure on the point guard here," Connecticut assistant George Blaney said. "When he came here, he was a typical AAU player and [then he] missed all of those games."
Williams said he has become much more assertive.
"I've been on our players, on Charlie since day one to stay aggressive," Williams said. "What happened last year made me tougher and humbled me. I'm at the bottom trying to get to the top."
Notre Dame As The Hunted
The Irish are used to being the team that needs a big-time win to impress the NCAA selection committee. But that won't be the case when they host UCLA on Sunday.
The Irish seem to be secure this season, although coach Mike Brey isn't ready to declare his club an NCAA team just yet for fear of complacency. Notre Dame has wins over Boston College, Connecticut, Villanova, Georgetown and at Indiana.
But the Bruins — with an RPI of 38, a 14-9 overall record (8-7 in the Pac-10) and a 1-5 mark against the RPI Top 25 — desperately need a signature win.
"I'm going to turn it around for our guys and say we still need it," Brey said of his approach. "This would be a huge one to get. I hope it snows. It will be refreshing to see someone out of the league with a different style of play. I know this would be another good one for our resumé."
And even more so for the Bruins, who could use a marquee nonconference road win.
Big East Scheduling
The Big East expects to let the 16 teams for the 2005-06 season know who they will be playing in June after CBS and ESPN make their selections.
Dates and times wouldn't be set until over the summer, but the matchups will be dictated by television. So if CBS requests Louisville-Connecticut, you can expect ESPN will want the same game. That means those two teams would be matched up in a home-and-home series.
A number of these scenarios will occur. If both television partners want certain games, then those would likely be the home-and-home matchups. The Big East won't lock in primary-rival partners like the 12-team ACC does.
The Big East will play 16 games in 2005-06 and go through a two-year cycle with the schedule. Teams will play 10 teams once, three teams twice and two teams not at all.
Expect some games to happen naturally, like Louisville-Cincinnati and Marquette-DePaul.
The ACC sent out its schedule for the next three seasons but then abruptly withdrew it after it was released. The league needs to address equity issues before agreeing to the schedule.
Iowa State surging
Monday, February 21
Iowa State's season turned on a team meeting and a decision to emphasize defensive pressure and trapping.
The Cyclones, winners of seven straight after losing six straight, are one of the hottest teams in the country. Iowa State (15-8, 7-5 in the Big 12) knocked off Kansas and Texas on the road and beat Texas Tech and Oklahoma at home for its four signature wins during this streak.
How did this happen?
"We had a team meeting after we lost to Colorado at home," Iowa State guard Curtis Stinson said of loss No. 5 in the six-game losing skid. "We looked at each other and said we all had to practice harder."
There were a few other things, like ensuring that Jared Homan passed it more out of the post. But the main emphasis was on defense.
Look what has occurred in the past four wins:
Kansas scored 61 points, turned the ball over 18 times and Iowa State had 10 steals.
Kansas State committed 19 turnovers and scored only 42 points. Iowa State had nine steals.
Texas Tech scored 68 points, had 18 turnovers and Iowa State had 13 steals.
Nebraska scored 60 points, had 18 turnovers and Iowa State had 16 steals.
"We're hungry and didn't want to keep on losing," Stinson said. "We know we have to play defense better."
Iowa State assistant coach Damon Archibald said, "A lot of people wrote us off after our start, but our record was deceptive to how good we were."
Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson wasn't one of them.
"People don't understand how good those guards are," Sampson said.
Iowa State could win out with two road games (at Texas A&M and Colorado) and two home games (Nebraska and Missouri).
Why mess with a good thing?
Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said Sunday he didn't plan on putting point guard Drew Lavender back in the starting lineup.
Lavender scored 29 points in 32 minutes off the bench, including the game-winner to beat Kansas State in Manhattan on Saturday.
"Why mess with a good thing," Sampson said on ESPN's College Hoops Today Sunday afternoon.
"It takes the pressure off of him," Sampson said. "He's more of a combo guard instead of a point guard, and this is better for him."
We'll see if Sampson is true to his word and keeps Lavender coming off the bench Monday night against Kansas.
Marquette's bubble status
Marquette's chances to reach the NCAA Tournament depend on Travis Diener's shooting.
If Diener shoots like he did against Louisville 2-for-16 overall, 1-for-10 on 3s, for nine points in a 64-61 loss the Eagles will be headed back to the NIT. If he shoots like he did against DePaul 5-of-9 overall, 1-of-5 on 3s for 15 points they have a chance. It would be nice for the Eagles if he could shoot like he did against East Carolina. He was off on 3s (3-of-12) but at least he got to the line for 10-of-12 free throws to help get to 31 points in a 71-69 road win.
"I was extremely disappointed in myself after the Louisville game," Diener said. "I was missing layups."
Diener is a realist when it comes to making the NCAA Tournament. He knows the Eagles can't let another game slip away like they did against Louisville. Francisco Garcia buried a 3-pointer in the final seconds to beat the Eagles in a game that Diener said they should have won.
"We're still in good shape with an 18-8 record, and wins over DePaul and Wisconsin," Diener said.
Both of those wins were at home, though, and the Eagles must improve on their 6-7 conference record. The game at Cincinnati on Thursday looms large, as do the final games against Houston and Saint Louis.
Nevada not feeling too comfortable yet
Nevada coach Mark Fox said he's not acting like he's in the field of 65 just because the Wolf Pack beat Vermont and are atop the WAC at 20-5 overall, 12-2 in league two full games ahead of UTEP.
Nevada has chances to slip up down the stretch. Following a home game against Tulsa on Monday, the Wolf Pack end the season with three straight on the road at Fresno State, Hawaii and San Jose State before the WAC tournament.
Fox said his players were impressed by Vermont, hinting his team maybe didn't realize before tipoff how talented a few of the Catamounts were.
Izzo wouldn't be surprised to see Illinois go down in the Big Ten tourney
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo knows the stress of being the top team in the Big Ten and one of the best in the country. That's why he wouldn't be surprised if Illinois "were to wear down a bit," in Chicago at the Big Ten tournament.
"Three games in three days can be tough on any team, and those guards play a lot of minutes," Izzo said of Dee Brown, Deron Williams and Luther Head.
Izzo did agree, though, that the pressure could be off the Illini in Chicago since a No. 1 seed would be wrapped up by the tournament.
Had to see it to believe it
Ohio freshman Jeremy Fears hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer in the Bobcats' 66-65 win over Detroit Mercy on Saturday during Bracket Buster.
Fears then apparently did a cartwheel and back flip.
"The game wasn't televised, so you're going to have to believe me," Ohio coach Tim O'Shea said. "This would have been a SportsCenter top play. He was a gymnast when he was 14. It was a great show of youthful exuberance."
"I've really never seen anything like it," O'Shea said.
O'Shea said the team's tape of the game ends right after the shot, before the celebratory antics.

Versa Wallcovering

Gear Question
How well does this bag repel water? I have...
How well does this bag repel water? I have an Oakley Icon backpack and love it except for the fact that it's made mostly with mesh material and doesn't protect against the elements.
This is nylon so it will definitely do better than your previous bag. However it does not have a waterproof coating, so after a decent amount of time in the rain or other elements it will start to soak through.
Keep in mind, this bag does have a Wet Bag on the bottom that should be pretty protective should you need it.
