The Third Door
My doctor says my mind is going. He smiles at me in that funny way he has, and then continued. I am not to worry too much about it, he says, but I am supposed to write down what I see. But it isn't what I see that is the problem. I live by the sea; there is a decent view of it from by bathroom, although not my bedroom. Not since the neighbours built their extension anyway. On a sunny afternoon you can see almost to France from the bathroom. You can often hear the sound of ship passing. On a foggy day, you can hear a loud booming sound, low pitched, which reminds you that there are still people alive out there, on the sea.
A hundred years ago, they say, this house used to be the residence of a famous pirate.
OK, I've told you what I can see. But that isn't the problem. The kind doctor never could understand that. It isn't what I can see, but what I can feel. The room I am in is cold. If I take a step out of the room, outside the house, the temperature goes up to the point I am sweating. But inside the room, it is cold. I feel anxious, too, scared – a creepy feeling, like you are being watched. I can't see anything, you see, and I don't hear anything, but there is always the feeling that something is getting ready to eat you.
My husband says it is foolishness. My Doctor says take these pills, and they will make me better, and I say... this is real. I started feeling this a year ago. It was when I read the old newspaper, stuffed under the floorboards. There was something strange wrapped in it, a key that is old and heavy, made of rusting iron. But the content of the newspaper is what started it. I am pretty sure of that.
You see, it was a story of five people that were murdered, right here, right in the house. The police were baffled. The door was locked, locked from the inside, but whoever killed them got in and out. Got clean away. I checked on the internet a few days latter, and discovered that no one had ever been caught.
The key was the one that used to open the door. I am sure of that.
All this happened thirty years ago. Even if it was related to the murderer, my husband assures me that there is no chance. Not the remotest. Not that it can ever happen again.
But I can feel the coldness, growing, slowly, stronger and stronger, I feel like something is coming to get me. But no one else can feel that. No one else understands what I am feeling right now. They think it is some mania, some mental problem, maybe an infection.
Sometimes at night, I lie asleep, watching the door.
The doctor says writing this will help me, but I am not sure he is right. What if they decide I am mad? What if they use this to take me away, put me somewhere nice and safe and warm, shoot me full of drugs, and heal me? But if I don't write this, maybe that will be all the kind man requires, requires before he helps me.
Sometimes, although I don't see anything, some third sense makes me feel like something is behind the door. Something evil. Something evil behind the door, reaching for the handle.
You know, there was no reason for anyone to murder that family. Whoever did it was evil, but my husband just shakes his head. He doesn't understand what I am feeling. He thinks that it will just go away. So I lie there, too afraid to take the sleeping pills the good doctor offers me. So afraid. Of whatever is behind that door.
It's one o'clock now. My husband is sleeping in the next room along. I can hear his rhythmical snoring, his comforting snorting, and I am writing this by the bedside light. Sometimes, when I hear the snoring the fear goes away for a little time. Sometimes I feel like it is all in my mind, that nothing is behind the door.
I'm laying in bed, now, watching the door. Something strange is happening. I can see the door handle turning, the door sliding open, just a fraction. The door is opening -

"Why did you choose this product?"
Finding Nemo (DVD)by Pixar
ITEM#: 15202107Co-helmed by WALL-E director Andrew Stanton, FINDING NEMO follows Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks), an overprotective clown fish father, as he desperately searches the farthest reaches of the sea for his missing son Nemo. Marlin's journey leads him beyond the Great Barrier Reef into deeper and darker waters, where he meets Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a forgetful yet optimistic blue tang, and a number of not-so-friendly--and often very hungry--aquatic creatures. Meanwhile, little Nemo finds himself in a dentist's fish tank in Syndey, Australia, along with other underwater captives, including Gill (Willem Dafoe), the group's scarred Moorish idol leader. As Nemo works with his new friends on a plan to escape their tank, Marlin and Dory swim closer, but they'll need more than just fins to get into the dentist's office. This fifth computer-animated outing by Pixar continues the company's remarkable winning streak that began with TOY STORY. Like other Pixar films, FINDING NEMO features a story with heart--this time, a father-and-son tale--and thoroughly charming leads--in this case, Marlin, Nemo, and Dory. And, of course, there's an army of fascinating supporting characters, including Bruce (Barry Humphries), a great white shark on a no-fish diet; Crush (director/screenwriter Stanton), a surfer-dude sea turtle; Peach (Allison Janney), a stuck-to-the-aquarium starfish; and Nigel (Geoffrey Rush), a bold pelican. However, what truly distinguishes NEMO from even its CGI cousins is its stunning depiction of aquatic life, from the colorful creatures on a coral reef to a blue whale on the vast expanse of the open ocean. By combining the aesthetic of a National Geographic marine life documentary with clever jokes and Hitchcock references, NEMO succeeds in its bid to up the ante for animated films yet again. And be sure to watch the credits or you just might miss something!

1 Mrs. Flowers Finance & Business Technology
If you are a woman and a man wants to open the door for you, allow him to do so. Do not think of it as and act that is condescending If you are a man and a woman wants to open the door, allow her to do so. Consider it an act of assertiveness in the business world, not gender assertiveness. 2 The Basics (Section 1)
Traditionally a man opens the door for a woman, an elder, or a senior in authority. A woman traditionally opens a door for either an elder or a senior in authority. 3 The Basics
The driver should at least unlock the passenger door before walking around to the driver's side. If the driver is a man, he should first open the door for the passengers. If the driver is a woman, she also can open the passenger door prior to walking to the driver's side. 4 Opening Car Doors
A courtesy might be to announce that all the doors are unlocked. (if you have keyless entry) If it is raining, the driver (whether a man or woman) should offer to walk to the car and drive it back to where the sheltered passengers are waiting. 5 Opening Car Doors
Traditional etiquette rules state that when walking on a sidewalk, the man always walks on the outside, or curbside, of a woman. 6 Walking on Sidewalks
If someone is less fit than you, elderly, etc. you should give up your seat. 7 Giving Up Seats
Manners contribute to: Optimum employee morale Embellish company image Major role in generating profit *If you don't use manners it can cost a person a promotion or even a job. 8 Manners are Cost Effective
Opening doors goes both ways in our modern world (men & women) Knowing the rules of etiquette helps build confidence and improve competition in the business world Traditionally a man walks on the outside of a sidewalk, drives the car, or opens doors…but these rules have changed in today's business climate 9 Recap of Key Concepts Section 1
Dress & Presentation Many companies have switched to "Business Casual" A general guide is to wear clothes that are somewhat similar to those who are one step above you 10 Corporate Dress & Presentation (Section 2 – Part 1)
1) Do not mix styles 2) If you are color blind, get help 3) Avoid clothing that is too tight 4) Keep your shoes in good condition 5) Keep jewelry simple 6) Avoid risque clothing 11 General Guidelines for Dress & Presentation
If your job requires you to dress casually on designated days, then do so Your professionalism has to transcend your casual attire 12 Casual Days
13 For Interviews: Dress for Success
14 For Interviews: Dress for Success
The first impression you make on a potential employer is the most important one. The first judgment an interviewer makes, like it or not, is going to be based on how you look and what you are wearing What's the appropriate dress code for an interview? You'll want that first impression to be not just a good one, but, a great one Remember, you are marketing a product — yourself — to a potential employer, and the first thing the employer sees when greeting you is your attire 15 How to Dress for a Job Interview
Suit (solid color – black, navy or dark grey) Long sleeve shirt (white or coordinated with the suit) Belt Tie Dark socks, conservative leather shoes Little or no jewelry Neat, professional hairstyle Limit the aftershave Neatly trimmed nails Portfolio or briefcase 16 Men's Interview Attire:
Suit or pants suit (navy, black or dark grey) The suit skirt should be long enough so you can sit down comfortably Coordinated blouse Conservative shoes Limited jewelry (no dangling earrings or arms full of bracelets) No jewelry is better than cheap jewelry Professional hairstyle Neutral pantyhose Light make-up and perfume Neatly manicured clean nails Portfolio or briefcase 17 Women's Interview Attire:
Gum Cell phone I-pod Coffee or soda If you have lots of piercings, leave some of your rings at home (earrings only, is a good rule) Cover tattoos 18 What Not to Bring to an Interview
Before you even think about going on an interview, make sure you have appropriate interview attire and everything fits correctly. Get your clothes ready the night before, so you don't have to spend time getting them ready on the day of the interview. If your clothes are dry clean only, take them to the cleaners after an interview, so they are ready for next time. Polish your shoes. Bring a breath mint and use it before you enter the building. Finally, check your attire in the rest room just before your interview for a final check of your appearance — to make sure your tie is straight, your hair is combed, etc. 19 Interview Attire Tips
20 4 Types of Tie Knots
Office Visitors There are ways to control time: "I've got an appointment at 2pm, so I have about 4 minutes for a quick chat. What's going on?" If a talkative coworker comes by, stand up, and stay standing. "Where are you headed this morning? I'll walk with you." Walk to together and pick a good point to separate. 21 Corporate Dress & Presentation (Section 2 – Part 2)
Lack of direct eye contact (especially in conversation between two people) can be offensive or perceived as deceitful. A simple smile can positively enhance your work environment. Smile when you see people, meet people, and even when you talk on the phone. 22 Eye Contact & Smile
When you plan to leave a place of employment be pleasant during your remaining time. When you apply for a job reference, checks will be made. So it is always best to leave on good terms. Proper business etiquette is to offer 2 weeks notice (and plan to work it, if they wish). 23 Leaving a Job
One of the basic rules of appropriate professional attire is to learn the corporate climate For interviews dress to impress: suit (black, navy, gray), shoes, pressed shirt, etc. When someone comes to your work area eye contact and giving attention is key If you plan to leave employment, do not talk negatively about your employer/company 24 Recap of Key Concepts Section 2
Making Introductions When you introduce two people, look first to the person you consider more important, say that person's name first, followed by "I would like you to meet…" When individuals appear to be fairly equal in authority, you can choose who is "more special" 25 Interacting with People (Section 3)
As soon as someone has been introduced to you, make an attempt to repeat his or her name. It can help if you try to create an "associate" idea for that name. Example: I have a cousin named Joe, his name is Joe like my cousin. The name Hans sounds German. He looks like my brother Phil, but his name is Bill. 26 Repeating Names
It is better to be honest if you cannot remember someone's name. "I can't believe it! I've gone blank again. Please tell me your name one more time." Sometimes it is ok to make an effort by saying, "Hey buddy." "How have you been guy?" 27 Forgetting Names
Shaking hands is very much an American custom It should be a firm vertical handshake Don't turn your hand, forcing a "curtsy" handshake Shake a woman's hand the same as a man's Should be firm, but not overpowering Should not be weak 28 Shaking Hands
One of the big secrets to good conversation is to ask questions. Ask open-ended questions and try to stay away from closed-end questions. Closed-end questions solicit single word or short response Open-end questions solicit more detail or meaningful answers 29 Making Small Talk
At social gatherings, people are generally most comfortable around people they know. First, socialize for a 'short' period of time with the people you know and then scan the room for interesting people you would like to meet. Starting a conversation: "This is my first time to one of these events, have you attended before?" "I'm a new hire as of last week, what do you do for the company?" "I'm here at the wedding from out of town, how do you know the bride and groom?" 30 The Art of Conversation
Have a follow-up system for all business you do. Write down things you promised on a note pad or planner and follow through. Always write things down so you remember to follow up. When exchanging business cards be sure to write down details of what that client wanted on the back of the card. You can file the card in a rolodex for easy access. Be sure to write notes of any little bits of information discussed. Make sure your business cards have all pertinent information to contact you: name, address, phone number, fax number, email, etc. 31 Keeping Promises & Business Cards
When introducing start yourself and then with senior or most important person When introduced to someone repeat their name or come up with 'association' for them American handshake is firm, not crushing and used by both men and women in business Small talk use open-ended questions Carry pen, paper, planner, and business card (write down notes on what was discussed) 32 Recap of Key Concepts Section 3
The Work Day Managers especially resent those who spend 15-20 minutes preparing to leave for the day If your day ends at 5pm that is when you should begin packing up for your departure If you have an hour lunch, that does not mean you leave 15 minutes before the hour and return 15 minutes after the hour (even training days) In American culture, salaried persons often work more hours during the week than the office staff 33 Office Etiquette (Section 4)
You often spend more hours of your "awake life" with those at work than you do with members of your family Try to avoid the habit of using possessive pronouns when describing coworkers For example, instead of saying "This is my assistant Mary who works research," say "This is Mary who works in the Research Department" 34 Respecting Others
Making coffee for the boss is frequently perceived as a demeaning The task of making coffee can be shared 35 Making or Not Making Coffee
One of the most annoying sentences in the workplace is "That's not in my job description" Even if we are asked to do something outside of our job description, we should make an attempt to provide a solution Say "I'm not the most knowledgeable person on that subject. Michael has more experience. Let me take you over to his office" or "You really need to be talking to Joanna, who's in charge of that program" 36 " Not in My Job Description"
Most managers spend a good portion of their time solving problems DO NOT just register a complaint DO NOT bother to register a complaint accompanied by a solution over which you have no control DO register a complaint with a solution over which you have some control 37 Complaining Effectively
People will be glad to work on your team knowing that you do not take all the credit yourself and that you share it with others If a team works together to make a decision that isn't exactly in line with your thinking support the decision anyway 38 Making Others Look Good
If you are in a position to answer telephones for your organization, consider how important it is to make a good impression When you answer the telephone, identify yourself using your first name and last name Professional use of the telephone includes returning calls. Not returning calls sends a negative message. If you don't want to talk to an individual call on off peak times when you can likely leave a message. 39 Telephone
Try to be as succinct as possible Give some idea of why you are calling, and leave any pertinent information Slow down when leaving your telephone number End your conversation on a positive note whether in person or on the phone 40 Leaving Messages & Ending Conversation
Business etiquette means working the number of hours for which you are paid Treat everyone with dignity and respect Provide the best service possible and do not be guilty of "That's not in my job description" If you have a complaint about someone or something, offer a solution Give others more credit than you think they deserve Leave telephone messages with some substance so people will not get caught in a telephone message "loop" 41 Recap of Key Concepts Section 4
Meetings are an integral part of the business environment Approximately 25%-35% of a lower-level managers' time is spent in meetings As much as 50% of upper-level executives' time is spent in meetings 42 Meetings (Section 5)
Knowing how to organize a meeting will enable you to do so with ease and style When planning a meeting, consider the following 7 things: What date and time is convenient? Who are the essential people who should attend? Any not-so essential people who must attend? Is the facility available at that time? Will refreshments be necessary? What kind of audiovisual equipment needed? What are the key items for the agenda? 43 Meetings
If you are having a meeting, a luncheon, or another event, send out invitations so that people receive them in time to plan for the event (Give them at least two weeks if possible) One way to check meeting details is to remember the 5 w's: who, what, where, why and when? Who is invited? What will be covered? Where will it take place? Why is it taking place? When will it start and end The letters RSVP do not create a verb 44 Invitations/RSVP
No matter how simple a meeting, an agenda is imperative In a more formal meeting, an agenda should identify four items for each topic: The subject The person expected to speak on the issue The expected outcome The time expected to cover the topic 45 Facilitating a Meeting
The time expected to be spent on a topic enables the meeting leader to say "We've spent enough time on this topic; we need to move on. We can discuss this further at our next meeting." This prevents extremely talkative people from dominating a meeting and keeps a meeting from becoming derailed from its intended purpose. 46 Facilitating a Meeting
Do not reward latecomers by holding up the meeting until they arrive When people realize that you start your meetings on time, they will make the extra effort to arrive promptly 47 Rewarding Punctuality
Agree on the Agenda – get all participants to agree on the topics and anything that should be added/deleted Stay on the Topic – clear agenda *a sidebar is a list of topics that become important but are not on the current agenda Seating Arrangement – do not sit directly across from someone you see as opponent Consider the Cost – count the number of people in attendance, estimate hourly wage 48 Running a Meeting
Thank-You Notes – if appropriate to the occasion, send a thank-you note A regular business meeting would not require that you send a note, unless you were a special guest Having been invited to a special event that requires a response (RSVP) is a clue that the event involves a good deal of work by someone While at the event, ask for a business card which provides necessary information 49 Sending a Thank-You
To show appreciation for someone's work ability or for a business event, you would send a letter keyed on letterhead or a memo keyed on interoffice stationery This kind of thank you might be saved in someone's portfolio 50 Thank-You Letters
Use the 5 Ws to check the proper contents of a meeting invitation: who, what, where, why, when Use an agenda for all meetings Reward punctuality and start/end meetings when stated Extend your appreciation when needed 51 Recap of Key Concepts Section 5
A lot of important business is conducted in a food- related environment Some interviews are conducted over lunch, and how you conduct yourself during a meal becomes a part of the decision to hire 52 Dining Etiquette (Section 6)
If possible, call ahead and make a reservation for the meal Tell the dining room host who you will be meeting In most cases, you will wait as a group to be seated. The women go first, followed by the men. Women may defer to a senior woman for the first seat Cell phones do not belong in a restaurant. Put it on silent or vibrate and if you have to take a call go outside 53 Arriving at a Restaurant
The napkin should go in you lap soon after you have been seated In an elegant restaurant, your server may come to the table and place the napkin on your lap for you Place the napkin on your lap with one fold toward your knees Never take the napkin out to your side and shake it before placing it on your lap To NOT tuck it in your neckline to protect your tie or shirt To use the napkin, pick it up from the folded edge and blot it to your lips and return it neatly to your lap If you need to leave the table during the meal, place the napkin on your chair When the meal is over place it where the meal plate was or leave it to the left of your plate if it is still there 54 The Napkin
The utensils are situated at your place setting for use in order from outside to inside The salad fork would be on the outside, larger fork used with main course Knives and spoons are to the right of your dinner plate If you skip any portions of your meal, skip using those utensils as well 55 Place Setting
You may find more utensils above your dinner plate. A fork or spoon might be placed horizontally here, these are for dessert You may have a small bread-and-butter knife placed horizontally on your bread-and butter plate In restaurants, wait for everyone at the table to be served prior to eating. If at someone's home wait for the host to sit to begin eating Make a point to eat slower than you normally do, you want to try to finish eating when everyone else does 56 Place Setting Cont.
Hold a menu so it does not hide you from view When you have decided what you want place the menu closed to the side If you don't know price range to order, ask an opening question to your host "Have you eaten here before? What would you recommend? Order foods that are not messy to eat 58 Ordering from the Menu
When you pick up food on tray set it out on your table yourself Place the empty tray on an empty table or tilt it up on a wall next to you Eating directly off the tray is a no-no 59 Cafeteria Dining
You can usually get his or her attention by making eye contact and nodding slightly A quick wave might be necessary, but don't raise your arm higher than your shoulder DO NOT hiss or snap your fingers Do not hesitate to get advice from your server, "Do you have any favorites." Food is generally served from the left, and beverages from the right 60 Your Server
Do not take the plate from the server in mid air unless you are in an awkward location Do not push your plate away from you when you are finished Do not stack your plates at the end of a meal A signal that you have finished your meal is to place the knife and fork in a parallel position 61 Your Server Cont.
Once you get the attention of your server, make a quick signal as if you were writing on your hand If you suspect it might be awkward deciding who will pay for the meal, excuse yourself to find the server and tell them If you are with a group of people and everyone is sharing the cost, round off the tab and divide it equally If you are a man you may feel awkward with women paying their share, but remember it is a business lunch NOT a date 62 Paying the Tab
Be familiar with the typical place settings Closing the menu is a sign to alert the waiter you are ready to order Try to order foods that are easy to eat when you are at a business function Pay your fair share for a restaurant meal 63 Recap of Key Concepts Section 6
Once you are situated in the restaurant or eating environment, you are still confronted with how to consume the food properly. As your eating your meal, take the corner of your napkin and touch to remove any food residue; then take a drink from your glass. Consider blotting your lipstick before sitting down, it is unappealing to leave lipstick marks all over the glass. 64 Drinking & Dining Etiquette (Section 7)
It is unprofessional to drink beverages through a straw. Remove the straw from your glass, and tuck it under the edge of your plate. 65 Drinking and Eating Etiquette
In a business situation, be cautious in ordering alcohol beverage Order an alcoholic beverage only if everyone else is in the group decides to do so and only if you want one If you find yourself being pressured, find your waiter tell him or her you want to be alcohol-free 66 To Drink or Not to Drink
Keep the bottle as still as possible Take a napkin, and loosely cover the top of the bottle Hold the bottle over a sink or area that will not be a problem if champagne spews out 67 Serving Champagne
The person hosting the event most likely will be the person offering the toast For example he or she would say "Here`s to the success of our new product" Holding a Wine Glass Holding a wine glass or champagne glass has a rule too It is considered correct to hold a wineglass by the stem or the base when it is served cold, otherwise you can hold the glass if the wine is served warm 68 The Toast
Do not put your elbows on the table while you eat The correct way to eat soup is to dip the spoon away from you Never pick up the bowl and drink from it Do Not talk with your mouth full 69 Eating Food
DO NOT touch any bread except for the piece you are going to remove Never butter your bread directly from the butter dish going back and forth with your knife to your bread Never butter the entire slice of bread and take bites from a whole slice of bread 70 Breaking Bread
If food is caught in your teeth excuse yourself and go to the restroom If fingers get dirty from food don't lick them use a napkin If you drop a fork, utensil, or napkin ask server for another one If someone spills something at your table offer your napkin and get the attention of your server. When the server comes, let them take over 71 Disastrous Things That Happen

Use a napkin before sipping a beverage so you don't leave lip prints Be cautious about drinking alcohol Knowing how to eat bread, soup, and unusual foods correctly will give you a feeling of confidence at a business dinner 81 Recap of Key Concepts Section 7
It is important to understand how others view us before we look at how different we are from others Americans are thought to be happy, friendly, gregarious, outgoing, and generous They are also thought to be loud, obnoxious, egocentric, impolite, fast, and rich Perceptions are a result of many films that have captured "life in America" and spread throughout the world 82 International Customs & Table Manners (Section 8)
With a little research and preparation, accompanied with some sensitivity skills training, you can make a lasting and favorable impression Wipe out the words 'foreign' or 'foreigner' and refer others as 'visitors' or 'guests' Be sensitive to how people live their lives, and be considerate and polite to others Do not call people by their first names until they have given you permission to do so 83 International Visitors
Shaking hands is an American way of meeting people, and visitors expect it When meeting Asian people, a handshake might be accompanied by a slight bow Seat your international guests where you would seat special guests. Maybe next to someone of importance If they hand you a business card, read it and then place it on the table in front of you before putting it away 84 International Visitors Cont.
Before receiving a visitor from another country or visiting another country research: Population Ethnic & Religious Composition Official Languages Geography Government Structure National Leaders & Political Parties Customs 85 Research the Country
Avoid any sensitive subjects as topics of conversation, including religion and politics Sports is always a safe topic Our visitors typically are not hard of hearing; you just need to speak more slowly and enunciate each word Avoid jargon and slang Example: "I'll give him a piece of my mind later." 86 Conversing with International Visitors
Touching others and distance between people are two practices that vary in other cultures Americans are generally fond of shaking hands, touching, backslapping, holding hands Some cultures would be shocked, so do your homework and find out what customs are Example: Italians greet by kissing on each cheek, even the guys greet in this fashion Example: Asians bow when meeting. The more senior the person, the lower you bow 87 Body Language
There are regional differences as well as cultural differences among the American people Make sure you do your research when visiting different American areas as well 88 Regional Differences in the U.S.
When entertaining international visitors, think about what their perceptions are, and adjust your behavior accordingly Research your visitors country, the country you are visiting, or the area of the U.S. When talking to an international visitor, speak slowly and enunciate 89 Recap of Key Concepts Section 8
This final section will focus on some miscellaneous topics concerning etiquette in the business environment 90 Other Dos and Don'ts (Section 8)

Birthdays can be touchy, but no matter who you are or how old you are, you probably like being remembered for your birthday Gifts are probably not as appropriate as a special lunch and a card A gift can make others feel uncomfortable It infers that they need to give a gift back to you at an appropriate time 92 Birthdays

Illinois, Irving headline the week that was
Editor's note: This edition is for games played from Monday, Nov. 29, through Sunday, Dec. 5.
Team of the week: Illinois
Last week: Beat North Carolina 79-67; beat No. 24 Gonzaga 73-61 in Seattle
The Illini have had one slip so far this season, losing in overtime to Texas in New York. But that's a quality defeat, and this team hasn't showed any signs of a tailspin. Illinois has had a hard time finding consistency in nonconference play since it reached the title game in 2005. That's not the case now. The Illini bounced back by beating Maryland the next day, then got fully back on track this past week. They bounced North Carolina by 12 points behind Mike Davis (20 points, 10 rebounds) and Demetri McCamey (eight assists), then went to Gonzaga-friendly Seattle and knocked off the Zags, also by 12.
That's two double-digit wins over a pair of teams ranked in the preseason top 12, whether they were deserving in retrospect or not. The Illini had balance against Gonzaga, getting contributions from Davis, McCamey, Mike Tisdale, D.J. Richardson and Brandon Paul during key moments. Illinois still has one more major nonconference event: the Braggin' Rights game against Missouri in St. Louis. If it wins that toss-up game, Bruce Weber's group should be 12-1 heading into the rugged Big Ten season.
--Andy Katz
More teams that impressed us
Virginia: This was a close call, and the Cavaliers easily could've been the pick for team of the week. It was a pretty remarkable week, after all. The same team that lost by 21 to Stanford and 106-63 to Washington won road games at No. 13 Minnesota and at Virginia Tech against the rival Hokies, who had such high hopes heading into the season. Seems hard to believe, but the Cavs should be favorites in each of their next seven games before ACC play.
Miami: After an embarrassing loss to Rutgers earlier in the season, it would be hard to imagine a better week for the Hurricanes, who crushed Ole Miss, then were clutch down the stretch in a win over West Virginia. That's two significant victories for a program attempting to gain relevance in the city and within the ACC.
San Diego State: The undefeated Aztecs continue to roll with double-digit home wins over Saint Mary's and Wichita State, two very talented mid-majors. SDSU continues to impress.
Duke: The beat goes on, as the Blue Devils beat No. 6 Michigan State in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, then beat Butler by 12 in New Jersey. Duke is finished with nonconference challenges.
UCF: Is this the season the Knights finally reach their potential? Under first-year coach Donnie Jones and sophomore Marcus Jordan (yes, that guy), UCF sits at 7-0 after a week in which it upset No. 16 Florida in what could be a signature victory for the program.
Kansas State: The Wildcats played their first true road game of the season and won by five points at dangerous Washington State. K-State handled the adverse situation, dealt with a tight game, came up with a key defensive stop late and left the Palouse with a solid road win.
Purdue: The Boilermakers shook off a loss to Richmond in Chicago the previous week to win a key road game at Virginia Tech. Then they smoked Alabama back home this past weekend.
Florida Atlantic: Yet another team from the Sunshine State, and this one is clearly the most surprising. The Owls hadn't done a whole lot heading into this past week, but out of nowhere, Mike Jarvis' team won at Mississippi State and beat a South Florida team that had been playing well. Sounds like a Sun Belt contender to me.
--Andy Katz
Player of the week: Kyrie Irving, Fr., G, Duke
A first-team preseason All-American came out of the Triangle, but maybe it should've been Irving and not North Carolina's Harrison Barnes. Irving scored 31 points in a variety of ways as he helped Duke beat Michigan State in the headline game of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Then, against Butler in East Rutherford, N.J., he wasn't the featured scorer in the first half, had the lane clogged on him and couldn't get untracked early. But Irving saved his best for last, scoring 17 of his 21 points in the second half, including two key 3s that put away the Bulldogs. Irving said he sprained his right toe and was limping noticeably after the game. But he did make another appearance in the game even after hobbling off the court. Irving is clearly a gamer, a player and a major reason the Blue Devils are the overwhelming favorite to win the title.
--Andy Katz
Other contenders
Michael Glover, Iona: In his team's 2-0 MAAC start, the junior forward contributed 69 points and 25 rebounds and made 73 percent of his shots. Glover put up a 39 and 14 against Canisius and a mere 30 and 11 against Niagara. In the latter contest, he was 14-of-17 from the field.
Mike Scott, Virginia: In UVa's stunning road wins at Minnesota and Virginia Tech, the team's senior leader threw together a pair of double-doubles: 17 points and 12 rebounds against the Gophers and 21 points and 13 rebounds against the Hokies, including a game-clinching offensive board.
James Nunnally, UC Santa Barbara: As the Gauchos picked up two impressive double-digit victories, Nunnally stole some of the spotlight from Orlando Johnson by scoring 29 (11-for-14 field goal shooting) against Loyola Marymount and 34 at Santa Clara. He was 17-of-19 from the charity stripe and 8-of-11 from the 3-point line.
--Brett Edgerton
More performances that wowed us
Austin Freeman, Georgetown: Freeman scored 31 points and connected on 6 of 11 shots from behind the arc as the Hoyas blew an 18-point lead, rallied at the end of the regulation and ultimately knocked off Missouri in overtime.
J.T. Terrell, Wake Forest: In an otherwise dreadful season in Winston-Salem, the freshman guard provided a bright spot by contributing 32 points, including a last-second game-winner against Iowa in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
Darren Moore, UC Irvine: In a 90-82 win at San Diego, the senior guard scored a career-high 30 points and added 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals. How's this for efficient? Moore was 9-of-9 from the field, 3-of-3 from 3 and 9-of-12 from the free throw line.
Kemba Walker, Connecticut: All he did against UMBC was post his first career triple-double (24 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists). Ho-hum.
JaJuan Johnson, Purdue: His basket with nine seconds left in regulation forced overtime at Virginia Tech, and he also contributed a go-ahead shot late in overtime as the Boilermakers beat the Hokies 58-55 behind Johnson's 29 points.
Dominique Morrison, Oral Roberts: In a 71-58 win at Western Illinois, the junior forward was 14-of-18 from the field and 6-of-7 from behind the arc, finishing with 35 points and six rebounds.
Tyler Honeycutt, UCLA: It was in a losing effort (barely), but when a player steps into KU's Allen Fieldhouse and puts up 33 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists -- and shoots 11-of-15 from the field, 5-of-6 from 3 and 6-of-7 from the free throw line -- he deserves recognition.
Andrew Goudelock, Charleston: After pouring in 28 in the team's close loss at North Carolina, the senior guard contributed 33 points (13-of-19 FG) and six assists in the Cougars' 82-73 victory over rival Davidson.
Marshall Moses, Oklahoma State: Sure, it took two overtimes, but 30 points and 18 rebounds is 30 points and 18 rebounds. The senior put together the game of his life in OSU's 92-87 win at La Salle.
Noah Dahlman, Wofford: He is a known quantity in the SoCon but probably doesn't get enough love nationally. Dahlman scored 37 points and grabbed eight boards in his team's 75-69 victory at Elon.
Tyler Zeller, North Carolina: When struggling UNC needed a win in the worst way, the big man came through -- notching a career game in a 75-73 win over No. 11 Kentucky. Zeller had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks as he shot 8-of-13 from the field and connected on 11 of 12 free throws.
--Brett Edgerton
Scores that caught our eye
• Memphis 78, Arkansas State 71 (OT) -- The Tigers jumped out to a 23-5 lead against 1-6 Arkansas State and then inexplicably let the Red Wolves climb all the way until Memphis finally rallied from four down in overtime to eke out the win. Always-positive Josh Pastner didn't even bother putting a positive spin on this one (see below).
• UCF 57, Florida 54 -- Another win for Conference USA, but this one was followed by elation -- at least on the Central Florida side. Much as he did a couple of years ago, Gators coach Billy Donovan called out his veterans afterward and questioned the team's leadership (also see below).
• Miami 79, West Virginia 76 -- Notice that just about everyone in the state of Florida seems to be playing well except for the Gators and Noles? It's hard to believe this is the same Canes team that lost 61-45 to lowly Rutgers. They've won four in a row since, including wins over Ole Miss and WVU.
• Miami (Ohio) 75, Xavier 64 -- The other Miami notched an impressive victory as well, taking out the intrastate Musketeers rather easily. Xavier had been playing with fire for a while with several close wins. Not this time.
• East Tennessee State 73, Dayton 68 -- Let's just call it like it is: This has not been a good start to the season for the Atlantic 10. The league's so-called upper half is dropping way too many games like this. Before this, Dayton scored 34 points and was doubled up by Cincinnati. After this, ETSU went out and lost to South Carolina-Upstate. Not good.
• South Carolina 64, Clemson 60 -- Throw in a home loss to Michigan a few days earlier, and you've got a not-so-fun week in the life of first-year coach Brad Brownell. But give credit to the Wolverines, who received a much-needed confidence boost, and to the Gamecocks, who ended a six-game losing streak to their bitter rivals.
• Wisconsin 87, NC State 48 -- Cue the annual Sidney Lowe hot-seat stories. This was supposed to be the season the NCAA tourney drought ended -- and it still might be -- but the Wolfpack looked positively horrific against the Badgers, albeit without veteran leader Tracy Smith. It was the third-worst beatdown in the 12-year history of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
• Morehead State 75, Murray State 65 -- Maybe we all pegged the wrong national sleeper out of the Ohio Valley? The Racers returned everybody from an NCAA tourney winner, but the Eagles have been a more impressive group so far. In this big early-December matchup in the OVC, MSU's Kenneth Faried stole the show as usual with 21 points and 10 rebounds.
• Utah Valley 70, Oregon State 68 -- Seems it's time to start wondering if the Craig Robinson era is really working. Sure, he inherited a mess, but the signs of progress are starting to grind to a halt. This team lost to Seattle for a second straight year, handed 1-6 Texas Southern its only win of the season and followed up the Utah Valley debacle with a 83-57 meltdown at Colorado.
• Missouri 83, Oregon 80 -- Oregon State is playing the way Oregon was supposed to play this season, except the Ducks didn't really get the memo. Dana Altman's depleted bunch had no business nearly rallying from 20 down to scare the eighth-ranked Tigers, but that's exactly what they did. They aren't good by any means, but they aren't nearly as bad as most of us had thought.
• Air Force 57, Evansville 56 -- This is probably more than real Evansville than the team that somehow won at Hinkle Fieldhouse against Butler. But then again, who exactly are the Air Force Falcons? The program has struggled mightily in the past couple of years, and things looked no differently after a loss to Division III Colorado College on Nov. 17. But AFA hasn't lost since, picking up four straight Division I wins.
• Montana 66, UCLA 57 -- So the Bruins took that controversial Kansas loss really hard, eh? Montana isn't bad by any means, but a team that lost by 15 to 1-6 Nevada probably shouldn't be walking into Pauley Pavilion and strolling out with an easy victory. The Grizzlies shot 52 percent and held UCLA to 31 percent. The reeling Bruins have dropped four in a row.
• USC 73, Texas 56 -- Oh, Texas. Ever the temptress. Just when it looked as though it was safe to jump back on the Longhorns' wagon, Rick Barnes and crew go out to SoCal and lay an egg, shooting 32 percent and getting blown out by an SC team that has losses to Rider, TCU and Bradley on its résumé.
-- Brett Edgerton
The week in quotes
• "I've made mistakes, I clearly did, but what I was hoping for was that some other dumbass would get on the front page and take me off the hook. I miss Lane Kiffin."
-- Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl speaking to boosters (Knoxville News Sentinel)
• "Bad calls happen. It's just unfortunate what happened at that point of a game where it would decide a game. I got a lot of phone calls from people expressing that they felt bad for us from all over the country."
-- UCLA coach Ben Howland on Malcolm Lee being whistled for a foul with 0.7 seconds left in a tie game at Kansas
• "We do need MIT drastically, because [commissioner John Marinatto] is not figuring this one out."
-- Louisville coach Rick Pitino joking to The Associated Press about the Big East adding a 17th member (TCU)
• "Our issues are bigger than this loss. We have a bunch of guys on the floor that make nobody better."
-- Florida coach Billy Donovan after his team's 57-54 to UCF
• "One of my closest friends in coaching [Jim Boeheim] said, 'You're playing where, and what's your schedule for the next five games?' He said, 'I think you're nuts.' And Boeheim's won a lot of games."
-- Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli on hosting Minnesota and playing road games against Drexel, Villanova, Princeton and Creighton to start December
• "This is my second year as head coach. I have never been more disappointed in a group of guys and the way they played. Absolutely disappointed in them. We got outplayed by Arkansas State, and we were fortunate to get the W."
-- Memphis coach Josh Pastner on his team's lackluster overtime win over Arkansas State
• "When I first started out here, I was the Ticket Man. I probably could have got put in jail. I had tickets in every pocket. I'm going all over campus trying to give 'em away, and now we're a hot ticket."
-- San Diego State coach Steve Fisher on the excitement surrounding his 8-0 Aztecs
Observations from the week that was
Andy Katz
• Conference play is a different deal: Just when it seemed that Old Dominion was ready to become a Top 25 team after beating Xavier and Richmond (its only loss being a narrow one to Georgetown), the Monarchs went out and lost to Delaware. The loss in their Colonial opener means the Monarchs are suddenly in a hole in the conference. And as much as ODU has put itself in position to become an at-large team, it can't afford to lose to teams that are likely to finish in the bottom half of the conference.
• Jon Leuer continues to rise: The Wisconsin big man was one of the handful selections for the U.S. select team that scrimmaged with the national team during the summer. He quietly has become one of the best scoring forwards in the country. Leuer is the reason the Badgers have a shot to finish in the upper half of the Big Ten and be back in the NCAA tournament yet again. He scored 22 and 29 in decisive wins over NC State and South Dakota. He's efficient with his shooting, gets to the line (7-of-8 against the Wolfpack) and rebounds at a high rate.

Eamonn Brennan
• Georgetown will contend for the Big East title: Give credit to the
Hoyas: John Thompson III gave his team a brutal nonconference schedule, a series of tests filled with road games and tough mid-major opponents. Thus far, his team has passed with flying colors. The Hoyas' most impressive victory came in what was essentially a road game against Missouri in Kansas City, when Georgetown fought back late to force overtime and win the most thrilling game of the season to date. And then, with a tough road matchup with Temple looming next week, Georgetown thoroughly handled Utah State, one of the nation's best mid-major offenses, in what could have turned into a sneaky trap game. Thompson's team could have been forgiven for having a loss or three by this point in the season. Instead, the Hoyas have taken that tough schedule and made the most of it.

Katz on the week ahead
O'Neil: Three questions
• Is the Big East really as good as we think? The league that many expected to be in a rebuilding season has been surprisingly solid early, but this week presents some big-game challenges across the board. Syracuse, undefeated and yet displeasing to Jim Boeheim's eye, faces Michigan State at Madison Square Garden in the Jimmy V Classic on Tuesday; Notre Dame, also unbeaten with a nice win over Wisconsin, will try to slow down Kentucky at Freedom Hall on Wednesday; unblemished Georgetown will hit the road for a tough test at Temple on Thursday; and yet another Big East unbeaten, Pittsburgh, will host the only unbeaten team in the SEC, Tennessee, on Saturday at the Consol Energy Center. I'm already sold on the Big East's talent. This week could convert a lot more people.
• Does Memphis belong among the elite teams? The Tigers carry a lofty ranking and a 7-0 record but only one win against a decent team (Miami). There was also last week's troubling overtime scare against 1-6 Arkansas State. Tuesday night should tell us something about the young Tigers, who face Kansas in the Jimmy V. And although the game comes with an asterisk -- Josh Selby is still not eligible for the Jayhawks -- Kansas has been playing like an elite team. This game should give Josh Pastner a legitimate measuring stick for his squad.
• What's going to happen with Enes Kanter? The saga of the Turkish big man continues on now that Kentucky has asked the NCAA to rehear its case for Kanter. The university will make its argument based on the Cam Newton findings, and although I don't think it will work, I can't blame UK for trying. The Newton decision exposed a loophole the size of a sinkhole, and Kanter won't be the last player trying to use it to his advantage. My guess is some factors will work against him, though. There is proof that Kanter accepted money from his Turkish team, whereas the NCAA could never prove that Newton received money. The university, which presumably consulted the Kanter family through the process, already has agreed that Kanter accepted $33,000; Newton and his family never admitted to anything. And Kanter's payment came via a professional team that you'd assume would have records and documentations. Newton's case was based on the words of boosters. But the Newton decision surprised a lot of folks, so you never know.
-- Dana O'Neil
O'Neil on Georgetown-Temple
Places to be this week
New York (Jimmy V Classic)
Tuesday night offers us not one but two thoroughly intriguing top-15 matchups: Kansas-Memphis and Michigan State-Syracuse. KU looked great until a near loss to UCLA at home (a UCLA team that lost to Montana at home a game later, remember), while Memphis has yet to face another surefire NCAA tournament team this season. Afterward, Michigan State-Cuse offers a chance for the Orange to prove they're better than their unconvincing single-digit wins over Michigan, William & Mary, Georgia Tech and NC State. They'll be facing a Spartans team that has quickly re-established itself as the Final Four contender we thought it'd be before the season began.
Columbia, Mo. (Vanderbilt at Missouri)
The Commodores began the season with an impressive performance in Puerto Rico, but given North Carolina's struggles since, Vandy's win over the Tar Heels looks a little less impressive now. That won't be the case if Kevin Stallings' team can compete with Missouri in Columbia. The Tigers love to run, and Vandy is no slouch itself -- the Dores average 70.1 adjusted possessions per game -- so the result should be an entertaining, high-speed game with postseason implications baked in. Sign us up.
Louisville, Ky. (Notre Dame vs. Kentucky)
How real is Notre Dame's 8-0 record? We're about to find out. The Fighting Irish do have at least one impressive win -- a 58-51 neutral-site victory over Wisconsin -- but the meat of ND's nonconference schedule begins Wednesday night with a quasi-road game against Kentucky at Freedom Hall. Neither team forces many turnovers, and neither is particularly strong in the frontcourt, so it's a good matchup for Notre Dame and a good chance for Mike Brey's team to prove it can compete at the top of the Big East.
Berkeley, Calif. (San Diego State at Cal)
Speaking of 8-0, the San Diego State Aztecs are still unbeaten. California, meanwhile, continues to play reasonably well in what was supposed to be a rebuilding season (wins over New Mexico, Temple and at Iowa State). In other words, this is not an easy SDSU win, especially on the road. The Aztecs will need maddeningly inconsistent forward Billy White to play more like he did at Gonzaga (30 points, nine rebounds) than he did versus Saint Mary's (nine points, two rebounds).
Pullman, Wash.
(Gonzaga at Washington State)
It's never fun to play in Pullman, and that goes double when the Cougars have a Naismith candidate and prospective NBA first-rounder like Klay Thompson wreaking havoc on the perimeter. Thompson & Co. nearly downed Kansas State in Pullman, and Kansas State handled Gonzaga easily during the CBE Classic. That doesn't mean the Zags won't win, of course. But it does mean the 4-3 team coming off a double-digit loss to Illinois in Seattle has yet another major nonconference challenge ahead.
Philadelphia (Georgetown at Temple)
Speaking of tough nonconference schedules, the Georgetown Hoyas just keep rolling along, playing anybody anywhere and coming out looking like a serious Big East contender for the trouble. Temple, meanwhile, is looking to regain some footing that was lost after defeats to Cal and Texas A&M in the Old Spice Classic. A home win over Georgetown would be a nice way to continue that process, but the Hoyas are already an experienced and proven road team.
Louisville, Ky. (UNLV at Louisville)
Vegas is still undefeated with wins over Wisconsin, Murray State and Virginia Tech. But this will be the first time the Rebels are truly tested on the road, and likewise the first opportunity for Louisville forward Terrence Jennings & Co. to prove that the Cardinals' season-opening blowout of Butler was less a fluke and more a sign of their team's unexpected improvement. UNLV has beaten Louisville in each of the past two seasons. Third time's a charm for the U of L?
Milwaukee (Wisconsin at Marquette)
College basketball has its fair share of quality rivalries scattered throughout the Midwest, and this is one of its more underrated. It also should be educational. Marquette is desperately in need of interior help, but the Eagles played Duke and Gonzaga to tight wins in Kansas City, and despite their apparent rebounding disadvantages, they won't be an easy out for a UW team that has struggled with versatile, athletic opponents.
Pittsburgh (Tennessee vs. Pitt) Tennessee clearly hasn't been distracted by the ongoing Bruce Pearl fiasco. In the Volunteers' NIT Tip-Off title win over Villanova, they played as though they'd never heard a thing about their coach's NCAA troubles. In this SEC/Big East Invitational tilt at the new home of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, the Vols will need to maintain that blissful ignorance against 9-0 Pitt, which has looked every bit as solid and composed as you'd expect a veteran Jamie Dixon team to be.
College Station, Tex.
(Washington at Texas A&M)
Washington has played up to par -- and looked like one of two plausible Pac-10 contenders in the process -- thus far. Texas A&M, meanwhile, has been surprisingly good, especially on the offensive boards, where it ranks No. 5 in the nation in offensive-rebounding percentage. This is a tough road matchup for the Huskies, a big opportunity for retooled A&M team and a sneakily interesting game on Saturday's slate.
Salt Lake City (Arizona vs. BYU)
No one can stop BYU's Jimmer Fredette. Through eight games, the national player of the year candidate is averaging 22.3 points and 4.1 assists per game. Likewise, no one can stop Arizona's Derrick Williams, who has established himself as the most efficient big man in the country in his sophomore season. Are we watching this game? Oh yeah. We're watching this game.
Richmond, Va. (VCU at Richmond)
Not only will this game have a nice in-state rivalry feel, but it'll pit two of the more impressive non-power-conference teams in the early portion of the season. The Spiders did lose to Iona but have beaten Purdue and Arizona State away from home. And the Rams won at Wake 90-69 and played well in New York (narrowly losing to Tennessee and beating UCLA).
-- Eamonn Brennan
Leung on Fredette's homecoming
Upset pick of the week
Arizona over BYU in Salt Lake City, Saturday: The Wildcats got torched by BYU and Jimmer Fredette last season when the All-American guard lit them up for 49 points. The reverse won't happen in Salt Lake City, as Derrick Williams has a chance to upstage Fredette at EnergySolutions Arena. Winning at the Marriott Center in Provo is nearly impossible for opposing teams, but putting this game on a neutral court (albeit not a neutral site) certainly helps UA's chances. Against Kansas, Arizona looked as good as a team could in a loss. The Wildcats are scoring well, getting balanced offense, have a star in Williams and, if they don't turn the ball over too much, have a real shot to get the signature win this team needs heading into the Pac-10.
