| JVC GR-D750
The final word: The GR-D750 is a solid little performer that punches well above its weight; offering impressive image quality for entry-level users. If you're on the lookout for a cheap miniDV camera, you could certainly do a lot worse than this. ON PAPER at least, the GR-D750 is the unmistakable runt of the JVC litter. With its low image resolution, rudimentary feature set and cheap looking design, we certainly weren't expecting much; yet it turns out that looks can be very deceiving. From its attractive price tag to its above average video performance, this is one of the best budget offerings we've seen in quite a while. It represents excellent value for money and is a perfect introduction to digital video - provided you can live without the bells and whistles. The GR-D750 is a standard-definition camcorder that records video to miniDV tapes.

Beyond the Arc: Is Matta worth the money?
And how can anyone be worth more than that? After all, Matta isn't even the game's highest paid coach. (Or in the Big Ten. Michigan State's Tom Izzo makes more, and Matta's package was prompted by Tubby Smith's superior compensation package from Minnesota. Tubby, in should be noted, made nearly as much as Matta — in 2003 at Kentucky.) Since the Ohio State Board of Trustees must think Matta's worth it, it doesn't really matter if I think it's too much money to pay a coach. I can still wonder, though. Ohio State has the money to spend on top-flight coaches (in 2006, it was the only school with an athletic budget over $100 million), but that doesn't mean you'd have to pay that much up-front money to a coach. Why not spread it out? USA Today does a great package on coaches' salaries every year.
Henderson talks about coming to Norman, OU
In 1967, George Henderson's faculty mentor at Wayne State University in Detroit told him not to pull up stakes and take a teaching position complete with $5,000 pay cut at the University of Oklahoma. The state is full of rednecks and was a "second class place," the mentor told him. "You can do better," he advised. Besides, Norman was a known "sundown" town where African Americans were expected to be out of town by sundown or suffer the consequences. George and Barbara Henderson's children voted the move down. Henderson didn't listen to the mentor or his children. On a plane, flying over the red-dirt Midwest headed to an Oklahoma interview, an inner voice took hold and Henderson made the decision to come to OU as one of the university's first African American faculty members.
