The numbers are staggering, especially because the tallies are being measured in human beings: Caterpillar (20,000 layoffs), Alcoa (15,000), Boeing (10,000), Pfizer (8,300), and tens of thousands more.

DAYTON -- Three things we learned from a game that had the potential to be historic:
DAYTON -- After all the frenetic running and three-point chucking that kept Oklahoma State in front of or within striking distance of No. 9 seed Tennessee for the first 39 minutes Friday, the Dayton opener boiled down to two set Cowboys plays, and that's just not Oklahoma State's game.
Overrated: Xavier The X-men are a solid team, but they're not as offensively potent as last year's Elite Eight squad and they're much sloppier with the ball. Losers of five of their final 10 games of the season, the Musketeers were given a four-seed while the two other A-10 teams in the field, Dayton and Temple, were both given 11s. That's too big a spread given Xavier only won the league by a game and lost in the tourney semis. The committee gave them credit for a torrid first month of the season, but since that 9-0 start (which included neutral-site wins over Missouri and Memphis), Xavier was just 4-5 against RPI Top 100 teams.
Don Shows was a computer geek until he lost his job and took a road trip.
When the BracketBusters pairings came out on Feb. 2, Butler and Davidson were a combined 36-4 and easy choices for the top slot in the weekend's made-for-TV matchups. Since then, the two powerful mid-major programs have a combined 7-5 record, and Davidson's Player of the Year candidate Stephen Curry sprained his ankle.

You'd think Robert Ulrich would be warming up for his victory lap right about now. The soon-to-retire CEO of Target Corp. should be easing into a lavish farewell tour filled with teary thank-yous, champagne-soaked sendoffs, and a book of leadership secrets. After all, in his 23 years at Target (almost 14 of them as CEO), Ulrich has transformed a Midwestern discounter into one of the most admired and imitated companies in the world. Target now ranks 33rd on the Fortune 500 - making it bigger than Microsoft, Pfizer, and PepsiCo, and more than double the size of Cisco Systems.

College hoops rankings sans a Bluegrass-state team or a subversive agenda ...
With all the NBA defections that have proliferated college basketball over the last decade, fans have unfortunately gotten the impression that if a player makes it to his senior year, he is somehow a failure. Everyone seems in such a rush to get to the proverbial next level that it's become a little too easy to forget that college athletes, even famous ones, are really just kids. As kids, they live, they learn, they grow -- and it usually takes a lot of time. Isn't that what college used to be about?
There's a new No. 1 in the college hoops world, but it's not North Carolina's fault. With Saturday's suffocation of Georgetown, Memphis supplanted the undefeated Tar Heels in the Power Rankings' top spot.
As much as I'd like to believe our entire readership has been with this college hoops season from its basic-cable opener (Gardner-Webb over Kentucky, Nov. 8!) and its Pay-Per-View debut (Florida over North Dakota State, Nov. 9!), I am aware that is not the case. As bowl season fades away, casual hoop fans come trickling in with dire need of a catch-up course. The Power Rankings are here to provide it, tuition-free, in three parts per team:
Two summers ago, the Atlantic-10 formed a committee to come up with a new policy on scheduling. The policy, which went into effect this season, gives commissioner Linda Bruno the same authority many other commissioners have to veto games she deems harmful to her league. "We had several coaches on the committee, so the implementation of this has actually been quite painless," Bruno says. "So far, it's been working very well."

The college marching band, that benignly regimented music machine, has enjoyed a bit of a legacy in pop music, probably dating back to the title track of Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk." But it isn't often you get to hear a marching band as supercharged and low-down, as rudely alive, as the one in "Dave Chappelle's Block Party."
