By By Jon Gilbert and By Jon Gilbert • March 25, 2008

Before the NCAA men's basketball tournament started, I planned how I was going to spend the $10,000 grand prize that ESPN.com was going to pay me for my winning bracket.

Lo and behold, the chosen one emerged this past weekend. No, this is no allusion to deity or a fantasy-filled, action-packed martial arts motion picture. The chosen one stands at a respectable 6-foot-3 and is listed at 185 lbs. (not a chance in hell). The kid who has been named Dick Vitale's tournament MVP so far is none other than Stephen Curry.

Hearing rarely returns once a human loses the ability to hear. However, when lower vertebrates such as birds, reptiles, fish and amphibians lose the ability to hear, they are able to regenerate hearing cells, called hair cells, and regain their hearing. The cells are called hair cells because they are tiny, hair-like projections found in the inner ear which enable humans and animals to hear.

After more than a year without funding, KUTE, the U's student-run radio station, might get the money it needs to resume its online broadcast stream. The ASUU Special Projects Subcommittee passed a joint bill earlier this month that would give KUTE $4,500 to pay the Recording Industry Association of America the copyright fees it owes.

By and • March 25, 2008

The Runnin' Utes might not have accomplished all that they had hoped to do in the inaugural College Basketball Invitational, but the game stood as a positive microcosm of sorts to Utah's entire season. In the end, the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes ousted the Utes from the tournament by a final score of 69-60, but the Utes took small victories from 2007-2008 body of work that came to an end last night.

"But it's reasonable to expect at least the rate of inflation -- which is about 4 percent -- and the U is only 2 (percent) above that." I would have liked to hear more used-car sales pitches from Pearson, but he was too busy wagging his tail and rolling over for the U administrators.
