FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) ? Sherwood Brown only wanted a bagel.

The Florida Gulf Coast star walked into a restaurant on campus Monday and was quickly surrounded. People wanted autographs. People wanted photos. People just wanted to yell words of encouragement.

A school that opened a mere 16 years ago finds itself front-and-center in March Madness, one of only 16 college basketball teams left from a field of 68, hoping to win the NCAA national championship.

"I had no idea it was going to be like this, but I'm loving it," Brown said as he made his escape from the shop. "I feel like we're getting a lot of America behind us. I guess you could say we're a part of America's team at this point."

And the Eagles spent the day savoring their moment.

Lines in the campus bookstore snaked from one side to the other, more than 100 people waiting for the chance to pay for their FGCU shirts and hats. Phone lines were jammed by those seeking tickets for this weekend's South Regional, and even the university president half-seriously wondered if he would be able to obtain what he needed. And as they arrived at classes, players were met with applause.

"It's so brand new," Eagles coach Andy Enfield said Monday, as emails popped into his mailbox at a fairly dizzying rate. "No one knows ? no one knew ? what FGCU stood for, the letters. Now it puts our university in a national spotlight and rightly so, because this is a great place. It's a young, vibrant university with just a lot of energy. I've been trying to tell that story to a lot of people."

The Eagles play Florida in the South Regional semifinals Friday night, two wins from a most-improbable trip to the Final Four. Seeded 15th in their region, FGCU knocked off both No. 2 Georgetown and No. 7 San Diego State in Philadelphia over the weekend to keep their season going.

Enfield's lone mistake so far in the NCAA tournament may have been what happened when he went to bed around 5:30 a.m. Monday, roughly two hours after the Eagles landed home in Fort Myers after punching their ticket to the regional semifinals.

Before Enfield went to sleep, he forgot to silence his ringer. Suffice to say, he was awakened long before he wanted.

"It's part of the moment," Enfield said. "We're happy to sacrifice a little sleep for the success of our program."

Here's maybe the best way to explain what's happening right now with FGCU: In a state where the Gators are back in the regional semifinals, where the Miami Hurricanes (who lost to FGCU early this season) are still alive in the field and look very much like a title contender, and as the Miami Heat took a 26-game winning streak into their game at Orlando on Monday, it's the Eagles who might be the best story.

LeBron James picked them to win one game in his bracket. Not two, though.

"Just a hunch," the NBA's reigning MVP said.

The Eagles ? 26-10 overall and 13-5 in the Atlantic Sun Conference ? are starting their own tradition, since they have no real tradition yet. Of the 19 banners that sway in their gym to commemorate various accomplishments, the earliest entry on them is for a women's volleyball trip to the NCAA Division II tournament in 2004.

"You come from a small school like that, and everyone just kind of looks at us like a mid-week prep game. 'All right, we'll get our win mid-week and then we'll get ready for conference play,'" said Chris Sale, a former FGCU pitcher now with the Chicago White Sox. "I don't think that's the way it's going to be from here on out."

The school has about 11,300 students, half of whom come from the state's southwest section. The campus ? which includes a manmade lake and actual beach where students flock ? sits on 760 acres of land donated by Ben Hill Griffin III. And that lends a certain irony to this Eagles-Gators matchup, given that Florida's football team plays its home games in what everyone calls The Swamp but what officially is named for Ben Hill Griffin Jr.

FGCU is in such infancy as a school that its oldest alumni probably have yet to turn 40.

"I've been in higher ed for a long time, worked at several institutions, and I have not experienced anything like this phenomenon," FGCU President Wilson Bradshaw said. "What has happened in the last three or four days has been exceptional. We're getting, I'm getting, my staff members are getting emails and texts from all over the country, and it's been very gratifying."

The interest has been overwhelming, at least to the servers that host the school's athletic department website. It crashed twice Sunday night, and other university sites were seeing huge upticks in visits.

Will Morse, a former soccer player at the school and now a graduate student, was waiting to buy a white sweatshirt at the bookstore. He hoped the investment of his time would lead to his parents making an investment of $200 for student tickets to this weekend's games at Cowboys Stadium near Dallas.

"It's for my mom's best friend. I don't know," Morse said. "They live in Colorado and they became fans overnight, and they wanted a sweatshirt for their birthday. So I'm the kid who's trying to make sure my parents buy me tickets."

And the wait in those long lines lasted about as long as FGCU's games have taken so far in this tournament.

"I think everybody's shocked, mostly," said senior Kristi Hurson. "We went out to watch the game Friday and were all joking that this wasn't going to be a big deal. And then it was."

Her friend and fellow shopper Erica Turczyn used three words to describe the mood on campus right now ? crazy, nuts and chaos.

"Professors canceled classes today, some of them," Turczyn said. "I don't know how anyone can focus right now."

Give FGCU guard Brett Comer some credit. He was trying to focus, anyway.

Comer got three hours sleep before waking up Monday to hit his statistics class. As he arrived, his professor asked why he was there.

"A lot of students didn't seem to make it to class today," Comer said. "But I was."

He won't be at any classes later this week. The team's annual banquet is scheduled for April 2. Someone in the lobby of the arena saw that sign Monday and asked if it would be canceled if the Eagles make the Final Four.

A good question, one that no one even a few days ago would have imagined would have ever been uttered at FGCU.

"Our heads have not gotten bigger," Bradshaw said. "But we really are excited about the attention that we're getting. And I've said this before: If it takes our very successful basketball team to get people to come to our website and learn more about Florida Gulf Coast University ? and there is so much more ? then I'm fine with that."

Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM

• Pros

  Very sharp. Compact. Inexpensive. Wide aperture.

• Cons Electronic manual focus. Hood not included. Not stabilized.
• Bottom Line

  The Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM, the standard prime lens for the EOS M, is compact, fast, and sharp.

By Jim Fisher

The Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM ($249.99 direct) is one of the two lenses that launched along with Canon's EOS M compact interchangeable lens camera. The EOS M uses an APS-C sensor, so the 22mm focal length delivers a 35mm equivalent field of view when compared to full-frame cameras. The lens doesn't feature optical stabilization, but its f/2 aperture will help in low-light shooting.

The lens is impressively small. It measures 0.9 by 2.4 inches (HD) and weighs only 3.7 ounces. Standard 43mm filters are supported, and the lens can focus on objects as close as half a foot away from the camera. There is a manual focus ring, but it's a focus by wire design?moving it simply tells the camera to adjust the focus, rather than physically moving the glass. Because of this, there's a delay when adjusting focus manually. A lens hood is not included, but is available for $29.

I used Imatest to check the sharpness of the lens when paired with the EOS M. It exceeds 1,800 lines per picture height, the figure that we use as a cutoff for an acceptably sharp photo, at every tested aperture. At f/2 it records 2,294 lines, and increases only marginally to 2,331 lines at f/2.8. Resolution peaks at f/5.6, where it notches 2,362 lines. Distortion is completely negligible. The only other lens available for the EOS M, the EF-M 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM, is also quite sharp, but shows a lot of distortion at wider angles.

Chances are that you'll only be in the market for this lens if you bought the EOS M along with the 18-55mm zoom. The EF-M 22mm f/2 STM limits you to a single focal length, but it captures almost three times as much light, allowing you to shoot in dim conditions and to create a shallow depth of field. It also makes the EOS M a practical camera to slide into your pocket, which just isn't possible when the comparatively large zoom lens is attached.

'Very strong lead' in Colorado prison chief slaying

The evidence appears to be mounting that a Colorado prison parolee, killed in a shootout this week in Texas, may have been involved in the brazen murder of the head of Colorado's prison system. NBC's Kristen Dahlgren reports.

?

By Keith Coffman, Reuters

Evidence collected from a roadside gun battle between a white supremacist ex-convict and Texas police has provided "a very strong lead" for investigators looking into the shooting death of Colorado's prisons chief, a police spokesman said on Saturday.

Evan Spencer Ebel, a 28-year-old parolee from Denver, was killed by police on Thursday after a high-speed chase through Decatur, Texas.

He is now considered a suspect in the death of Tom Clements, executive director of the Colorado Department of Corrections, said Lieutenant Jeff Kramer, a spokesman for the El Paso County, Colorado, sheriff's Office.

Clements, 58, was shot dead on Tuesday when he answered the door at his home near the community of Monument, in El Paso County, about 45 miles south of Denver.

---

Ebel is also a suspect in the killing two days earlier of pizza delivery man Nathan Leon in Denver, police there said.

Shell casings found at Clements' home were the same brand and caliber of the Hornady 9-mm bullets Ebel fired at Texas police, according to the search warrant filed in Texas for police to search Ebel's Cadillac.

A copy of the search warrant was posted online by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper.

A Domino's pizza deliverer's shirt or jacket and a Domino's pizza carrier were in the car's trunk, according to the search warrant.

"Obviously this is a very strong lead for us from the items of evidence our investigators brought back from Texas, including the shell casings," Kramer said on Saturday.

"We're looking very hard at Mr. Ebel and are waiting for solid confirmation that it's the same gun" used in the Clements shooting, he said.

A statement from the sheriff's office late on Friday said that bullet casings collected at the scene in Texas would be sent to the state crime lab to determine if the same weapon was used to kill Clements.

Results from the ballistics analysis should be ready by early next week, Kramer said.

Ebel was a member of a white supremacist prison gang, the 211 Crew, and had been paroled in the Denver area, a law enforcement official said.

Authorities were also looking for ties between the death of Clements and the January killing of Mark Hasse, a prosecutor in the Kaufman County District Attorney's Office. Kaufman County is east of Dallas.

New music review: The Next Day, David Bowie (ISO/ Columbia ...

Photo courtesy of Sony Music Canada

When David Bowie?s pal John Lennon ended his reclusive five-year hiatus from the music business in 1980, it was with joyful celebrations of domesticity.

Here?s what Bowie comes back with, after 10 years out of the public eye: ?I can see you as a corpse/ Hanging from a beam,? and ?Here am I/ Not quite dying/ My body left to rot on a hollow tree.?

The Next Day is Bowie?s first studio album since Reality in 2003 (Forgettable? Quick, with no Web searching: which George Harrison song did he cover on that one?). As some of the lyrics on this often-thrilling comeback disc suggest, it?s not the warm, nostalgic reaffirmation portended by its first single, the leisurely ballad Where Are We Now?

Not only are the words and images often challenging and sometimes unsettling, the music is mostly dense, dissonant and difficult ? which is all to the good. If the overall sound evokes any specific Bowie period, it might be the febrile era covering Low, ?Heroes?, Lodger and Scary Monsters. And this disc is certainly Bowie?s best work since those years.

Longtime producer Tony Visconti has loaded the album with claustrophobic, buried-treasure detail that occasionally has the listener gasping for air. The layers can be penetrated only through repeated listens, with quality headphones a most useful tool. The chords in the menacing Love Is Lost, for example, are so dirty that they are more a presence than actual notes, while the greasy cabaret baritone sax in Dirty Boys is strictly subterranean. The compelling, but impenetrable rhythm of If You Can See Me dares you to find the groove. And then there?s the ominous closer Heat, which is reminiscent of the pre-Tilt Scott Walker who shocked listeners with the likes of The Electrician.

But as interesting as the chances taken might be, the disc shows even greater dimension by including stately and accessible tracks like the psychedelic I?d Rather Be HIgh, the downright catchy Dancing Out In Space and Valentine?s Day, which almost belies its grim setting ? a murderous university rampage ? ?with a sweet melody that would sound at home on a Jeff Lynne album. You Feel So Lonely You Could Die is reminiscent of Rock n? Roll Suicide (the Ziggy Stardust connection is underlined when the drum intro of Five Years is evoked near the end).

And how about that unnerving packaging, which is simply the front and back covers of the 35-year-old Bowie classic ?Heroes?, with the original title crossed out and a white square obscuring both sides, filled by the new title and song listing?

The defacing could be a bold, forward-thinking statement or it might be a nod to the past. Most likely, it illustrates that time is elastic for great artists. The Next Day could have been made in 1978, in the same way that ??Heroes? would sound contemporary in 2013. Lke a sizeable chunk of Bowie?s oeuvre, The Next Day stands outside of time.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) ? Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel encountered political tension with the Afghan president and a series of security problems during his first visit to Afghanistan as Pentagon chief, but he met privately with President Hamid Karzai and says they discussed the key issues.

Hagel says he understands that Karzai faces political pressures as the war winds down.

"I think he understands where we are and where we've been, and hopefully where we're going together," Hagel told reporters, but he declined to detail their talks.

Hagel is disputing Karzai's accusations that the U.S. and the Taliban are working in concert to show that violence in the country will worsen if most coalition troops leave.

The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Joseph Dunford, also rejected the charges Karzai made Sunday as "categorically false."

But the accusations were just the latest in a series of disputes that have frayed relations between the two nations as the U.S. works to wrap up the war and turn the country's security over to the Afghans.

Speaking to reporters soon after Karzai made the comments, Dunford said the Afghan leader has never expressed such views to him but said it was understandable that tensions would arise as the coalition balances the need to complete its mission with the Afghans' move to exercise more sovereignty.

"We have fought too hard over the past 12 years, we have shed too much blood over the past 12 years, we have done too much to help the Afghan security forces grow over the last 12 years to ever think that violence or instability would be to our advantage," said Dunford.

Dunford's comments came soon after U.S. officials canceled a news conference with Hagel and Karzai because of a security threat ? just a day after a suicide bomber on a bicycle struck outside the Afghan Defense Ministry, killing nine Afghan civilians and wounding 14 others. Hagel heard the explosion from the safe location where he was meeting with Afghan officials but was never in danger.

The security problems compounded a series of flare-ups in recent weeks, including a dispute that has stalled the transfer of a U.S. prison to Afghan authority as well as Karzai's order to expel U.S. special operations forces out of Wardak province, which lies just outside the capital, because of allegations that Afghans working with the commandos were involved in abusive behavior.

Hagel said he's known Karzai since soon after the U.S. invasion in late 2001, adding that such extended relationships can often be beneficial, especially when dealing with complicated issues.

The U.S. and Afghan leaders are in the midst of negotiations over the long-term presence of American forces in Afghanistan beyond the end of 2014, when all combat troops are scheduled to leave.

U.S. officials would not provide details on the security concerns that led to canceling the news conference. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the matter publicly. But Pentagon press secretary George Little said the cancellation was not due to Karzai's earlier comments about the U.S. and the Taliban.

During a nationally televised speech, Karzai said two suicide bombings that killed 19 people on Saturday ? the one outside the Afghan Defense Ministry and the other near a police checkpoint in eastern Khost province ? show the insurgent group is conducting attacks to help show that international forces will still be needed to keep the peace after their current combat mission ends in 2014.

"The explosions in Kabul and Khost yesterday showed that they are at the service of America and at the service of this phrase: 2014. They are trying to frighten us into thinking that if the foreigners are not in Afghanistan, we would be facing these sorts of incidents," he said during the speech about the state of Afghan women.

Karzai is known for making incendiary comments in his public speeches. And Dunford on Sunday said that some of the recent disputes between the U.S.-led coalition and Afghan leaders "strike at the heart of sovereignty" and could be more political in nature. He said Karzai may be doing what he needs to do to communicate with the Afghan people and their political leaders outside the government.

That argument also resonated with Hagel, a former Republican senator from Nebraska.

"I was once a politician so I can understand the kind of pressures that especially leaders of countries are always under," Hagel said. "I would hope that, again, we can move forward, and I have confidence we will, and deal with these issues."

Dunford rejected the suggestion that the recent friction reflects erosion in the U.S. relationship with Afghanistan.

"We do not have a broken relationship, we do not have a lack of trust," said Dunford, adding that none of the political dust-ups have bled over into his dealings with his Afghan security force counterparts. He said efforts to train and advise the Afghan security forces have continued and that plans for them to be in the lead for security across the country later this summer are on track.
