Before I forget, I'm trying to make a list of all the teams around the country (high school, college, women's, etc.) that are using all or part of the trendy offense (known as Dribble-Drive Motion or AASAA) devised by Vance Walberg and used by Memphis these days. If you're a coach who's running it, please send me the name of your school and the town/city where you're located. Thanks!
Dear FSB: Our family is looking to transfer our education business and sell the property. We hired a commercial agent but have only received one possible suitor, which did not work out. The business is set up as a not-for-profit and is tax-exempt, so we can take advantage of tax breaks. We would sell the property and transfer the board seats to any suitor who bought the property. While the business took a year or two to get off the ground, it is now doing much better. What can we do to move the sale along more quickly?
Brace yourself. You may soon get a memo from your employer with a pretty bold threat: Shape up or pay up. As part of an ongoing effort to curb the runaway cost of providing health benefits, a small but growing number of companies are charging workers for habits like smoking, overeating and failing to exercise.
A conservative majority of the Supreme Court appeared ready Wednesday to support an Indiana law requiring voters to show photo identification, despite concerns that it could deprive thousands of people of their right to vote.

For all those angry Indiana Pacers fans who consider their team's 37-win pace to be an outright embarrassment this season, understand this: It really isn't much of a drop-off from what you should have expected. If you had higher expectations going into the season, then you were misguided.
SACRAMENTO -- A great deal has changed for both Indiana and Gonzaga since the 'Zags 90-80 victory over Indiana in the second round of last year's tournament, but here's one of the biggest differences: this time, the Hoosiers had their best big man available and Gonzaga did not. That helped lead to Thursday's reversal of fortune, a 70-57 victory for Indiana that propelled the Hoosiers into the second round against UCLA on Saturday.
It nearly goes without saying that there is usually quite a fair amount of pressure weighing on the shoulders of your typical NBA coach, with little personal payoff besides an enviable bank account and a good bit of internal satisfaction derived from a winning turn.
The employers on our list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For believe in piling on the perks - anything from flextime and telecommuting to in-house gyms and free gourmet food.

That's what it's all about."
Antonie Davis didn't want his dad's new team to play any games. The 8-year-old remembered the end of his father tenure at Indiana all too well, when Mike Davis was under the intense scrutiny from fans that were still clinging to the memory of the icon he replaced. But back home in his native Alabama, as the first-year coach at UAB and away from the ominous shadow of Bob Knight, Davis has found his comfort zone -- and delivered a message to his son that is fitting after his tumultuous time in Bloomington.
The most cunning refinement yet in the administration's plot to scare the liver, lights and onions out of us with Tales of Terror Plots is the Department of Homeland Security's brilliant move to declare Indiana the national center of terrorism, with 8,591 potential targets. Many citizens have questioned the Indiana move -- some claiming it is a waste of money trying to stop attacks on the Wabash Cannonball. The Statue of Liberty and the Washington Monument might merit a little more attention. This is precisely why it is better to have Michael Chertoff and Karl Rove making this Homeland Security decisions, rather than Osama bin Laden.
