Fortune: Bad credit, no job?updated: Wed Jul 21 2010 08:37:00
Dear Annie: I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem. I just came from a job interview -- my first in 4 months, despite pounding the pavement every day -- where the interviewer asked me to sign a form permitting the company to contact any or all of the three major credit bureaus for my current and past credit scores.
The latest subject of our Hoops Q&A series is Virginia's Sylven Landesberg, a 6-foot-7 wing guard who's averaging 17.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists as a sophomore. On Monday, he hit a shot with 2.2 seconds left to beat UNC-Wilmington as the the Cavaliers improved to 12-4. Virginia has been the surprise team in the ACC this season, off to a league-best 3-0 start despite being picked to finish 11th in the preseason media poll. The following is an edited transcript of our conversation:
Selection Sunday isn't quite around the corner, but it's definitely on this block. As we get closer to the big day, you'll start to see more references to the RPI, but at this relatively early stage it's hard to figure out just how much attention we should pay to all those numbers. Reading the RPI rankings in mid-January is like reading the voting returns early on election night. Yes, the numbers tell you what trends might be forming, but it's far too early to make a projection.

The 2.3 million college grads in the class of 2009 are finding that starting a career in the current economic climate will require some sacrifice.
I started writing about college basketball during the 2004-05 season, and let me tell you that back in my day things were different. The three-point line was a foot closer, Billy Packer still worked the Final Four, and, most notably, the Pac-10 played a really fast-paced brand of basketball. My, how times have changed ....

For better or for worse, when you get married, you sign on for a life of sharing --bedsheets, bathroom space, cold germs. Moods, too, as it turns out. And it's becoming increasingly clear that "emotional contagion," the unconscious tendency to mimic the emotions of others, affects spousal health.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The Notre Dame team was gathered in a darkened conference room on Monday afternoon, watching grainy footage of a refereed intrasquad scrimmage from the previous day. While 10 navy- and white-jerseyed players raced up and down the floor, two returning starters, forwards Luke Harangody and Zach Hillesland, could be seen slumped on the bench in the background, nursing injuries. Neither ailment is serious -- Harangody strained a tendon in his right ankle and Hillesland was dealing with plantar fasciitis -- but their absence made the Irish's perimeter nature all the more evident. At one point, coach Mike Brey paused the tape and asked assistant Anthony Solomon how many of the shots taken had been from beyond the arc. "Forty-nine percent," he answered.
You're Aaron Garcia, quarterback of the Arena Football League's New York Dragons, and here's your dilemma: It's 4th and goal from the Grand Rapids Rampage 2-yard line. You're up 28-0 with 3:19 left in the first half. Even though it's only the sixth game, the season is on the line after three straight losses dropped your Dragons to 1-4.
Greetings, Hoop Thinkers. Like you, I am still recovering from a wondrous four days of wall-to-wall hoops. When you get down to the Sweet 16, you just gotta rip and run. Herewith my thoughts on the week that was and the one about to be:
Don't give in. Pros have all sorts of clever computer models for assessing risk. But even those brilliant machines misjudge risk from time to time (like in the subprime meltdown).
Democrats in four states are casting ballots this weekend, and the Illinois senator is likely to increase his delegate lead
Poetry in motion. That's what Patrick (Patty) Mills says he and Andrew Ogilvy created as they ran the court together at the Australian Institute of Sport last year. Mills would push the ball on a break, whistle to Ogilvy and loft an alley-oop pass toward the rim. With perfect, practiced timing, Ogilvy would appear on the wing: step, catch, dunk.
LOS ANGELES -- UCLA coach Ben Howland didn't mince words about the prospect of playing Washington State. "It's like getting a root canal without Novocain," he said before the game.
There is no stronger currency in college hoops than a true road win. For the sake of these rankings, a victory on hostile hardwood is worth immensely more than any work done on a neutral court or at home. The two new teams that enter the top five this week, Texas and Washington State, earned their standing by persevering on the road. The Longhorns -- who, if not for North Carolina's breezy navigation of a tough slate, would be No. 1 -- beat UCLA in Pauley Pavilion, and the Cougars emerged from Gonzaga's Kennel with a major W in the Northwest's hottest new rivalry.

"You sure have a lot of weeds." That's how Doug Tunnell describes the reaction of visitors to Brick House Vineyards, his small estate in Newberg, Ore. He points to plants you don't expect to see among the rows of grapevines: a tangle of blackberries overtaking a bed of yellow yarrow. "Only we don't view them as weeds," he says. "They're plants that offer habitats to organisms that somehow affect our grapes' DNA."
