Pit Bull Hailed as Hero for Alerting Deaf Boy to Fire With a Lick

This photo provided by the Indianapolis Fire Department shows Ace, a pit bull, resting outside the home of Lindsay and James Bernard of Indianapolis after the home caught fire on Wednesday, July 16, 2014.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A two-year old male pit bull named Ace is being hailed as a hero for licking the face of a sleeping, deaf 13-year-old Indianapolis boy to alert him that his house was on fire.
Indianapolis Fire Department Capt. Rita Reith says Nick Lamb was home alone and sleeping without his hearing aids when the fire began Wednesday.
She says Ace licked Nick's face until he awoke to find the house filling with smoke. The boy quickly covered his nose and mouth with his T-shirt and fled outside. He was not injured in the fire.
The boy told firefighters this was the first summer he was old enough to stay home alone and that he had returned from summer camp just three days earlier.
Firefighters estimated damage to the home at $175,000, but Ace and Nick made it out safely. No one else was home when the fire started.

Never Punish Your Pet for This Accident!
Video: Urinary Incontinence in Dogs and Cats
By Dr. Karen Becker – HuffPo
Please note this article addresses involuntary passage of urine only, and isn't intended to cover other urination-related problems like too-frequent urination or behavioral-related problems like submissive urination.
Involuntary Passage of Urine
Involuntary passage of urine normally occurs while your pet is asleep or resting. When she stands up, you notice urine leakage. It can be just a small wet spot or a good-sized puddle, depending on how much urine is being unintentionally passed.
It's important to understand your pet isn't intentionally leaking urine. She has no control over what's happening. This is not a behavioral problem, it's a medical problem — so trying to correct or punish your pet is a bad idea on multiple levels.
In fact, many pets become very distressed to realize they are passing urine in places other than a designated potty spot. A housebroken dog or any kitty accustomed to using a litter box will be confused and even ashamed to know they are leaving urine in inappropriate spots.
Causes of Urinary Incontinence
There are a lot of causes for involuntary passage of urine, especially in dogs:
• Central nervous system trauma. If your pet's brain or spinal cord isn't signaling correctly to the bladder, this miscommunication can cause urine dribbling.
• Damage to the pudendal nerve. If the pudendal nerve, which works the neck of your pet's bladder, is impinged, the bladder neck can remain slightly open, allowing urine leakage.
• Disease of the bladder, kidneys or adrenals, Cushing's disease, hypothyroidism and diabetes can all cause dribbling of urine.
• Bladder stones. A dog with a bladder stone will often strain while trying to urinate. If you've noticed this behavior with your pet, you need to consider the possibility of bladder stones.
• Birth defects. Birth defects — structural abnormalities existing from birth — can cause incontinence. If your puppy has been difficult or impossible to housetrain, there could be a birth defect present. Some dog breeds have more of these types of from-birth plumbing problems than others.
• Urethral obstruction. Obstruction of the urethra can also cause involuntary passage of urine. A tumor can obstruct urine flow and cause dribbling. So can urethral stones.
• Age-related urinary incontinence. Older pets can develop weak pelvic floors or poor bladder tone which can result in urine dribbling. If your dog has signs of canine senility or dementia, he can also simply forget to signal you when he needs to potty outside. His bladder can overfill, and there can be leakage.
• Feline leukemia. For reasons not well understood, some kitties positive for feline leukemia have urine leakage. If your cat starts dribbling urine, it is more than likely a medical issue requiring veterinary care.
Hormone-Induced Urinary Incontinence
Hands down, the most common reason for involuntary urine leakage, especially in dogs, is hormone-induced urinary incontinence.
After a pet is spayed or neutered, the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone, which are necessary to help close the external urethral sphincter, are no longer available. This often results in urine dribbling.
Hormone-induced urinary incontinence is extremely common in spayed female dogs, and somewhat less common in neutered males. These are typically healthy, vibrant pets that just happen to dribble urine anywhere from multiple times a day to just once or twice a year.
Treatment for Urinary Incontinence
The cause of your pet's urinary incontinence will dictate what treatment she receives.
If there's an underlying disease process or structural abnormality causing the problem, and it can be corrected through medical management and/or surgery, that's obviously the way to go.
If your pet is diagnosed with hormone-induced urinary incontinence, I strongly recommend you consider treating the problem naturally.
I successfully treat cases of hormone-induced urinary incontinence with glandular therapy, as well as natural, biologically appropriate (non-synthetic) hormone replacement therapy and a few excellent herbal remedies.
I also use acupuncture to improve function of the pudendal nerve and control or stimulate sufficient closure of the external urethral sphincter. Chiropractic care can also keep the CNS working properly, aiding in normal bladder and neurologic function.
I urge you to start with natural remedies, because some of the traditional drugs used to treat urinary incontinence are potentially toxic with side effects that can create more problems than they solve.
As always, I recommend you have a holistic vet on your pet's treatment team.
Dogs with incontinence that can't be completely resolved can be fitted with dog bloomers or panties with absorbent pads — you can even use human disposable diapers and cut a hole for the tail. Just remember that urine is caustic and should not remain on your pet's skin for long periods, so if you use diapers, be sure to change them frequently or remove them during times when your pet isn't apt to be incontinent.

Keeping Your Pets Safe on the 4th of July

Mercury News – Originally posted on July 02, 2013: The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. Hot dogs, potato salad and, of course, fireworks.
But Independence Day is not such a joyful time for our animal friends. The noises and flashes of light are anything but enjoyable for them. Some become emotionally traumatized, cowering in corners, while others may bolt out of fear. Even pets that normally aren't phased can have bad reactions to all of the bangs and pops.
The East Bay Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has kindly provided tips to help keep our animals calm and safe during the next few days:
– Keeping your dogs and cats indoors is one of the simplest things you can do to keep them safe. Even if your pet usually does well outdoors, both cats and dogs might run in a panic from fireworks or people. More pets go missing during the July Fourth holiday than at any other time of the year.
– If possible, stay at home with your pet. That way, you will be able to make adjustments to routines and comfort a distraught animal. If your dog appears fearful, allow him to go into his kennel or somewhere he feels safe. If your cat is skittish, place her in a darkened, cozy room with some of her favorite things. Most important, comfort them and reassure them that all is OK.
– Make sure your pets are wearing identification. One in three pets will go missing in their lifetime. If they don't have identification, 90 percent don't return home.
In addition to a collar with tags, consider microchipping your pet. Many frightened pets can slip their collars, leaving them with no path home. Contact the SPCA or other animal groups to see if they offer the service. Also make sure that contact information with the chipping company and on collar tags is up-to-date.
– Keep an emergency file. If your pet does go missing, it is a good idea to have a folder with a list of local shelters, as well as a current photo of your pet showing any unique markings for identification. Make sure the entire family knows where this folder is kept and that it is easily accessible.
– If your pet has a history of problems, talk to your veterinarian about medications. East Bay SPCA Chief Veterinarian Michael Sozanski says pets often find the loud, unpredictable noise and bright light displays frightening and should not be subjected to fireworks shows. "In case of severe phobia," Sozanski says, "nothing may work to ease your pet's fear. If there is a chance your pet may exhibit this level of fear, speak to your veterinarian about possible medications." Medications can include anti-anxiety drugs or sedatives.
– Consider your pet when party planning. If you have friends over to celebrate, be especially mindful of doors and windows. Guests may be unaware that your dog or cat might escape even if a door is left open for a short amount of time. Try securing your cat in a quiet room or keeping your dog in the kennel or with you on a leash as guests are coming and going.
– If you are going to an outdoor event and bringing your pet, make sure there is plenty or water and shade.
Things to watch
–In dogs, warning signs of anxiety can be excessive panting, drooling, trembling and shaking, pacing, aggression, panicking and escape behavior. Watch for inappropriate body movements, such as jumping erratically over or on furniture, that could lead to injuries.
–Symptoms in cats may include panting, drooling, trembling, hiding, freezing, aggression, panicking and escape behavior. They also may behave erratically, jumping and climbing. They may hurt themselves or others.

*Even events at home and indoors can be traumatic for some dogs/pets. Be watchful for signs. Sometimes putting pets who are not social in a separate room by themselves or with another pet with the TV or music on and some of their toys and snacks can be helpful.

Roll dough between 1/4 – 1/2″ – depending if you you a large or small dog and use biscuit/cookie cutter to punch shapes. Place shapes on cookie sheet, no greasing or paper necessary. If desired, press fork pattern on biscuits before baking, a quick up-and-down movement with fork, lightly pressing down halfway through dough. Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully turn biscuits over, then bake additional 20 minutes. Allow to cool.before feeding them to your dog.
* Brown rice flour gives the biscuits crunch and promotes better dog digestion. Many dogs have touchy stomachs or allergies, and do not, like many people I know, tolerate wheat.

Dog Meat in Chinese Restaurants
Think about this the next time you go out for Chinese dinner in the U.S. or anywhere else. Are you really sure what you are eating?
And stop supporting a country, a society, people who think this is okay. Stop buying Chinese products until this changes. China has a horrific record on both human rights and the treatment of animals and they have poisoned our kids with led toys in Happy Meals; they have sold us bad pet food over and over again that has killed hundreds if not thousands of American pets; and they manipulate their currency to destroy ours (the currencies of the west).

These disturbing images show dogs being cooked and served up as a meal in a grim Chinese tradition.
The animals are chopped up and cooked in front of diners – despite a growing anti-cruelty campaign.
A group of Chinese activists in Yulin City, Guangxi province, descended on the dog meat market campaigning against eating the animals.

China is yet to make animal cruelty illegal and end the grim tradition despite campaigning by animal rights activists.
Pet lovers' associations have sprung up in Chinese cities over recent years.
While many Chinese enjoy rich dog meat, especially during cold winters, some object to the practice in some regions of beating dogs to death to release the blood into the meat.

When food is scarce, dogs are eaten as an emergency food source around China in a practice which is seen as socially acceptable.
As the country becomes more affluent, a growing number of families are buying dogs as pets fuelling the growing campaign against animal cruelty.
In April, more than 500 dogs set to be slaughtered were saved when the truck they were being carried in to the slaughterhouse was intercepted by activists.
Many of the 505 creatures had barely survived their terrible ordeal, having endured cramped conditions and a lack of water during their near 1,000 mile journey by road.
But rescue came too late for 11 dogs which had succumbed to dehydration and exposure.

Safe Haven for Pets… For Animals
One of my dreams for quite some time has been to purchase land (in the US) and set up a temporary (and forever for some) haven for pets/animals. I would love to hire some computer wiz-kids to set up a national registry to connect all the shelters, rescues, etc. around the country so people looking for them, a particular pet can find them. Then set-up a network to transport the pets to the people who want them, their forever homes. And for those who need longer, they could come to us, to the center, until their forever home comes available or their forever parents find them.
I believe there is a forever home for every pet… for every animal and they we are all God's creatures, so need to work together.

Ayesha Chundrigar with an ACF shelter dog. ALL PHOTOS COURTESY: AYESHA CHUNDRIGAR FOUNDATION
Growing up in a house full of pets gave Ayesha Chundrigar an informal, intuitive education in empathy and respect for animals at a young age. She was only nine years old when she began volunteering at an orphanage during her summer holidays, and by the age of 15 she was teaching at various non-profit schools in katchi abadis around Islamabad, where she was living at the time. She was also helping at refugee camps in the city in the aftermath of the 2005 earthquake in the northern areas of Pakistan, but her true altruism shone through when she launched her NGO, the Ayesha Chundrigar Foundation (ACF), in Karachi, which among other things, aims at giving a voice to the voiceless – animals.
Apart from the Pakistan Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), ACF is now the second non-profit organisation which aims to rescue abandoned, abused or injured stray animals. Chundrigar who took up the challenge of managing and maintaining Edhi Foundation's animal shelter in Karachi, says that the place was in an abysmal state when she first visited it. "There were animal carcasses and dead puppies and donkeys lying in pools of blood. I still have nightmares about it," she says. "I found the number of a vet listed on a board close to the shelter and gave him a call saying he had to help me and that was it."
All animals coexist in perfect harmony at the shelter.
Chundrigar started with four dogs and some savings. The shelter now houses over 100 animals, including donkeys, dogs, cats, eagles and pigeons. Although she has used up all her savings, she finds her job truly worthwhile. ACF has rescued over 600 animals in Karachi and has long-term plans of opening its own animal sanctuary instead of only managing Edhi's animal shelter. "We have been given a piece of land for 10 years and we are ready to begin construction," informs Chundrigar, adding that the new shelter will be able to house over 300 animals, with designated sections for donkeys, cats, dogs and other rescued animals.
Although the current shelter lacks electricity and water supplies, the Edhi Foundation is making do. They are preparing to install a water tank and solar panels. The animals are fed fresh food every morning and there is a general atmosphere of hope and recovery. "Our cats and puppies eat together and play together," says Chundrigar. "I can stay and look at these sights forever."
But this is not always the case. "Dogs have come in a paralysed and crippled [state] or with horrific wounds, but I'm lucky enough to see miracles every day. These animals [eventually] become strong, loving creatures that shower you with unconditional love."
Dr Farid nurses the fore limbs of a donkey at one of the camps.
At the present, ACF's core team of seven members, including Chundrigar, volunteer. The only ones on a payroll are their three veterinarians: Dr Khalid Memon, ACF's senior vet who is a professor at the Baqai Veterinary College in Karachi, Ghulam Farid, a junior vet who is a final year veterinary student at Baqai, and Salman Wali, a manager and trainee vet at Baqai. Together they embrace the animals that society discards.
With the help of Edhi Foundation's service, ACF conducts most of its rescue missions around the city in an ambulance. Public transport, however, is also used by vets when the ambulance is unavailable. Once the injured animal has been rescued, its wounds are treated and then begins the long rehabilitation process.
Ayesha Chundrigar with her team at a recent donkey camp.
Although most rescue operations end on a happy note, some have tragic endings. When Chundrigar first saw the image of a female dog, with a disfigured face lying on the ground almost lifeless, on Facebook, she didn't just comment on the extreme sorrow she felt, instead she took a hands-on approach. "Five of her puppies were snuggled near her tummy [in the picture] and I sent my team to rescue them [from Chundrigar Road]," she says. "The wounds … were definitely a few days old, her eye sockets were empty and she was severely dehydrated and malnourished, but by some miracle she stayed alive to feed her babies. We bandaged her up and started her treatment," she says, adding that the puppies were fed formula milk although their mother was still determined to feed them herself. Although after a day the dog had gained enough strength to stand up on its own and take a few steps, she eventually succumbed to her injuries. "Unfortunately her wounds were too deep and after I petted her for hours and gently explained to her that I'd take care of her puppies, she let go."
But dampened spirits don't last at ACF for long as the team finds solace in the animals they have successfully rescued and rehabilitated. Bravo, a dog so thin and malnourished that he could barely lift his head, was nursed to health by Farid who was determined to see him stand on his feet. After several blood tests, X-rays and consistent monitoring, Bravo has not only regained its health but is currently ACF's guard dog. "[Bravo is the] biggest, strongest and healthiest dogs at the shelter," Chundrigar says proudly. "He gives me the warmest, most welcoming hugs every time I see him."
ACF also holds regular donkey camps. "The way donkeys are treated in this country kills me and I wanted to somehow change that," says Chundrigar. "The donkey camps started with literally just me and my senior vet standing on the roadside in [areas where donkey-carts are readily used], asking people to let us medically treat their donkeys for free." While initially Chundrigar's team was met with suspicion, with some cart owners believing that they were here to harm their sole source of income, they soon warmed up to them once they were convinced that the team was only there to help. Over 50 donkeys are fed and treated free of charge twice a month, in various parts of Karachi, including Sohrab Goth, Korangi and Nipa Chowrangi. ACF also conducted a 'hydration drive' last year when biscuits and chilled water bottles were distributed to people around the city.
Dr Farid gives one of the dogs eye treatment at the Edhi Foundation animal shelter along the highway.
Like PAWS, ACF relies heavily on social media to raise awareness about animal cruelty in Pakistan. "People see updates on our animal rescue activities and donkey camps and want to help out," says Chundrigar. And it was through Facebook that Chundrigar teamed up with Zain Mustafa, an architect and die-hard animal lover, who is now a part of ACF's core team. Many have even shown interest in adopting ACF's rescued animals. "The encouraging part is that people are positive towards something being done for animals in this country," she says. And while on the topic of showing compassion towards animals in the country, Mustafa adds, "It can be done by introducing the value of animals into our mainstream education system and curriculum at a very early age… By getting children to physically interact with a variety of animals and bridge the widening gap between 'us' and 'them'."
ACF's second project is also currently in the pipeline. It will aim to provide a therapeutic centre for healing that will focus on conducting individual counseling, art therapy and support groups. "We will be working with sexually and physically abused women, children and transgenders. [The project] will also include education for donkey-cart owners that, I believe, will gradually help change their behaviour towards the animals," says Chundrigar, who is training to become a certified counselor.
But with limited funding, the ACF can only do so much. Although people have been donating cash and tangibles such as food via the information provided to them on social media, the funds are trickling in slowly. "What we get is enough to manage our current animals' food and medical treatment," says Chundrigar, adding that the monthly cost for food and supplies at the shelter is well over Rs100,000 and keeps increasing as the organisation rescues more animals each day. "We still need help starting our new shelter, acquiring ambulances and starting an inner-city emergency unit."
Even though Chundrigar is positive about the path ahead for ACF, she admits that for Pakistan, animal welfare and charity is something quite "out of the ordinary," with people often mocking her work. "They said I was crazy to think I could do something for animals because the situation is too far gone. Also, it's an uphill battle explaining to people why animals deserve love and a chance at having a better life."

Under Obama Over 1,200 Military Dogs Put Down by Regime
Moonbattery: Eating dogs was bad enough. Killing over 1,200 faithful military dogs who were protecting American troops in Afghanistan is worse:
The heroic service dogs were euthanized because they were deemed too "dangerous" for civilian adoption or jobs with law enforcement agencies, as well as for medical reasons according to U.S. Air Force reports given to Congress.
The dogs were used as guards and to sniff out terrorist bombs.
It's not as if no homes could be found:
Currently more than 300 people are waiting to adopt a military dog, with an average waiting time of 18 months.
Betraying those who loyally served in Afghanistan and Iraq has been characteristic of the current administration.
Is there anything these people do right?
No wonder Bo is trying to get away from him!!
On a tip from Dragon's Lair.
*All but '1' of the dogs rescued from Mike Vick's fighting ring were rehabbed and re-homed without any problems!! This is horrible and ridiculous! Everyone of these military K-9's who served for us deserved better… a home and family to retire to after their service. And if after the ongoing VA scandal, anyone out there still believes that 'they' care any more about our 2-legged veterans than the 4-legged ones… Houston, We have a problem!!

Kids with autism connect, cuddle with future service dogs: 'I love them'
LionPaws via Facebook

A student named Max, front, and other children snuggle and play with puppies at the Lionheart School in Alpharetta, Georgia. The puppies will go on to become service dogs for war veterans and others with disabilities.
For many children with autism, social interactions with strangers can be awkward and anxiety-inducing. But if the stranger is a gentle golden retriever puppy with huge paws and a quiet snore, something remarkable happens.
Throw a puppy into the mix, and the uneasiness tends to melt away.
"It's just amazing," said Elizabeth Dulin, co-founder and head of the Lionheart School, which serves students with autism in Alpharetta, Georgia. "When our kids interact with the dogs, we see reduced anxiety levels. … They become calm and focused."
One 11-year-old student named Max can quickly identify all seven of the puppies romping around the school. How can he name them so effortlessly when they look so similar? That's easy.
"Because I love them," Max told WXIA-TV in Atlanta.
WXIA / 11Alive.com
Max, 11, converses with anyone who will listen about a puppy in his care during a field trip to a Target store.
Lionheart is home base for a new partnership with the paws4people foundation, which trains service dogs for war veterans, disabled kids and adults. Dubbed the "LionPaws Puppy Development Center," the fledgling program sees to it that the future service dogs help as many people as possible throughout their training.
The puppies spend the first four months of their lives at Lionheart, where they befriend the school's 39 students. The kids hold the puppies, talk to the puppies, bathe the puppies and go on field trips with the puppies — all the while socializing the animals and preparing them for more advanced obedience training ahead.
LionPaws via Facebook - As this puppy trains to become a service dog, it will touch the lives of many humans in need.
The next stop is an inmate intervention program, where prisoners in good standing teach the puppies 125 commands and train them to open and close doors, turn lights on and off and perform other tasks. Inmates entrusted with the dogs' training get more than a sense of purpose — they also receive recent job experience that can help them find employment when they get released.
The final phase of the dogs' training happens at the University of North Carolina in Wilmington, where paws4people is based. Animal-loving students get college credit for making sure the dogs are fully prepared to go to their new homes — often with war veterans who are physically disabled or who have post-traumatic stress disorder.

LionPaws via Facebook - Getting socialized: Puppies go down a slide with Lionheart students.
paws4people has been training service dogs for 14 years. The newest segment of socialization and training for some puppies — spending time with children with autism — began in January of this year. The results so far have been "nothing short of miraculous," said Sarah Rosenbaum, director of the LionPaws Puppy Development Center.
Rosenbaum said she's seen non-verbal children become chatty around the puppies, and she's seen children with motor-skill deficits get up and run to see the puppies.
"They're just so excited, which really is such a source of pride for me," she told TODAY.com. "The children are providing for the puppies, and the puppies are providing for the children."
LionPaws via Facebook - The puppies get plenty of affection during the first four months of their lives at the Lionheart School.
Lionheart's first batch of seven puppies is about to move on to the inmate intervention phase of their training, and a new pile of puppies will arrive at the school soon. Five members of the school's staff have become certified as dog handlers, and that makes it possible for one older service dog named LANGLEY to stay at the school year-round.
Dulin, the head of the Lionheart School, said LANGLEY and the puppies have been helping students to make social and emotional connections. On field trips to Target or to a nursing home, the children often will open up and make conversation with strangers about the puppies. Or when a student is having a bad day, a furry friend can help them regain a sense of normalcy.
"A lot of our kids have difficulty regulating their emotions," Dulin told TODAY.com. "One little girl who deals with a lot of anxiety was riding in carpool one morning, and a boy who rides with her slammed his finger in the door. This little girl started crying and she could not stop."
The girl locked herself, wailing, inside a bathroom stall and refused to come out. A teacher knew just what to do: Launch Operation LANGLEY. She brought LANGLEY into the bathroom and sat on the floor until the girl was ready to let the dog into her space.
"About three minutes later, the teacher saw a little 'thumbs up' sticking out from under the stall door," Dulin said. "LANGLEY went into the stall, calmed her down, and then the two walked to class together. And she had been inconsolable — without LANGLEY, we probably would have needed to call her parents."

LionPaws via Facebook - Puppies take a break while playing with Lionheart students.
Research regarding the effects of companion animals on kids with autism is limited but encouraging. One study published last year revealed that children with autism spectrum disorder were more likely to talk, laugh, make eye contact and show other positive social behaviors in the presence of guinea pigs than they were in the presence of toys.
And in her 2010 paper "What a Dog Can Do: Children with Autism and Therapy Dogs in Social Interaction," researcher Olga Solomon highlighted cases of dogs helping children to communicate and connect emotionally with others around them. As Solomon noted in her paper, "dogs lead humans elsewhere, and this elsewhere is often better than where we have been before."

Save a Life…Adopt Just One More…Pet!
Everyday we read or hear another story about pets and other animals being abandoned in record numbers while at the same time we regularly hear about crazy new rules and laws being passed limiting the amount of pets that people may have, even down to one or two… or worse yet, none.
Nobody is promoting hoarding pets or animals, but at a time when there are more pets and animals of all types being abandoned or being taken to shelters already bursting at the seams, there is nothing crazier than legislating away the ability of willing adoptive families to take in just one more pet!!
Our goal is to raise awareness and help find homes for all pets and animals that need one by helping to match them with loving families and positive situations. Our goal is also to help fight the trend of unfavorable legislation and rules in an attempt to stop unnecessary Euthenization!!
"All over the world, major universities are researching the therapeutic value of pets in our society and the number of hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and mental institutions which are employing full-time pet therapists and animals is increasing daily." ~ Betty White, American Actress, Animal Activist, and Author of Pet Love

GAME NOTES: The red-hot Michigan Wolverines set their sights on another victory on Tuesday night, as they play host to the Penn State Nittany Lions in a Big Ten Conference duel at the Crisler Center.
The Wolverines have resurrected their season in recent weeks with wins in five straight games. Three of those triumphs came in the first trio of league outings for Michigan, which is 11-4 overall and 6-1 on its home floor. The Wolverines will have a real test next against third-ranked Wisconsin.
In contrast to Michigan, the Nittany Lions have gone ice cold of late, with losses in their first four bouts against Big Ten competition. Penn State's losing streak has ruined a promising start to the season as it is now 9-8 overall, including a 2-2 mark on the road. The Nittany Lions will also visit Purdue before returning home.
Surprisingly enough, these teams split the season series last year. However, when they met in the Big Ten Tournament, the Wolverines, who went on to the national title game, routed the Nittany Lions in an 83-66 final. The win was Michigan's 29th in 41 all-time meetings with Penn State.
Penn State hosted Indiana on Saturday and nearly pulled off an upset, as it fell in a 79-76 final. D.J. Newbill poured in a game-high 24 points in the losing effort, but deficits in points off turnovers (19-14) and at the free- throw line (29-20) were simply too much for the Nittany Lions to overcome.
Although they have not captured a win in league play yet, the Nittany Lions are actually the fourth-best scoring team in the Big Ten (77.4 ppg). However, they rank seventh or worse in assists (12.8 apg), rebounds (36.2 rpg) and field goal percentage (.454). Newbill (17.3 ppg) does a lot of the heavy lifting on offense, although the team is fortunate to have five players averaging in double figures. Tim Frazier (16.6 ppg, 6.5 apg) does his best as the second option, while also leading the Big Ten in assists. Ross Travis (11.2 ppg, 8.3 rpg) anchors the team down low, and Brandon Taylor (10.4 ppg) and John Johnson (10.6 ppg) add depth.
It took a last-second dagger from Derrick Walton Jr. to lift Michigan to its 71-70 win over Nebraska last Thursday. Walton Jr. finished with 10 points and four assists as all five starters scored in double figures for the Wolverines, who shot 66.7 percent from the floor in the second half to escape with the narrow win.
Michigan is scoring just a bit behind Penn State (77.1 ppg), but it has been a much more efficient offensive team, as it leads the Big Ten in field goal percentage (.481). The Wolverines also play tight defense, as they have limited their opponents to just 62.9 ppg and 42.4 percent shooting. Nik Stauskas (17.4 ppg, 3.6 apg) is the leading scorer, although he is not a very versatile offensive threat, preferring to take shots from beyond the arc rather than drive to the hoop. It is a small complaint considering he shoots 45.9 percent from 3-point range. Glenn Robinson III (13.8 ppg) and Car LeVert (11.9 ppg) are the club's next best scoring options.
The Wolverines do not often lose at the Crisler Center or against Penn State for that matter. Don't expect the Nittany Lions to buck either trend in this one.

The Capitol Theatre has postponed six shows due to Hurricane Sandy's effect on the area. While they did experience some flooding in their sub-basement, all else seems OK, said Marketing Manager Jonathan Healey.
"We're experience low power levels and cannot support enough juice to put on shows," Healey said of why the shows have been postponed for the last week.
"Until we restore to full power, we're going dark. All shows through Meatloaf have been postponed. George Lopez has been rescheduled for Feb. 22, 2013, but the others are still to be determined," Healey said.
They are estimating that they will open their doors again next Thursday with Lyel Lovett. All tickets will be honored for new event dates and refundable at place of purchase.

Online, international publication {Kid} independent loves the children's album--their rave review of "Crayons in a Box" says it all:
"The title track is really something special… in fact, it made the finals of the John Lennon International Songwriting Contest!
Steve Elci and Friends have a sound that is a little bit folksy, a little bit bluesy, and a little bit rock n roll. This is an album that is filled with catchy hooks and stealthy educational tid-bits which (pardon the cliche) 'make learning fun!'…"
As for {Kid} independent's favorite tracks from the album, the review names:
"'Zoo' for its storytelling quality; 'Earth Day' for its nature-loving theme; 'Supergirl' which celebrates gender equality; and 'Movies With Our Mind' because reading is rad!"

Fatal shooting
HOUSTON –- A father was shot and killed outside his southwest Houston apartment Sunday evening, police said.
It was reported around 7:30 p.m. at the Shadowtree Apartments along the W. Sam Houston Tollway north of Bissonnet Street.
Police said there were no witnesses to the shooting, but a few residents spoke to investigators about the shooting.
"He was a pretty good guy," said neighbor Jon Williams. "He didn't bother anybody. He was nice."
As of Monday morning, the suspect remained at-large.
Those who knew the victim said he recently moved to Houston to be closer to his child.
Police asked anyone with information to call Houston Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS or HPD Homicide at 713-308-3600.

Wifi at LeWeb as in any "geek" conference has always been a challenge given the size: 3,000 geeks with many devices on themselves, uploading and downloading loads of pics, video and other stuff. Some of them challenge the network on purpose for fun, others download their itunes movies during the conference and suck the bandwidth… It's a challenge.
We managed for the last two years to get a fiber optics 1GB/s line into LeWeb venue thanks to our awesome friends at Neo Telecoms that Xavier Niel introduced us himself. It's a huge pipe and costly, but I think we never exceeded more than 15% of the available bandwidth at any point. That's not the issue anymore.
Wifi worked great at LeWeb the last three years as it was manager by our friend Gary Shainberg and his team at BT but unfortunately Gary isn't at BT anymore and they don't seem to be doing that, it was a favor.
The incredible team of Meraki also helped immensely and I think they will, again. But gear and bandwidth aren't enough, we need a team that installs the devices, the whole network, set them up and manages them during the conference to ensure the wifi network stays up smoothly despite 5,000 to 10,000 devices connecting simultaneously.
I have been asking for recommendations, we are looking for a team that can manage the whole network for this year's LeWeb on dec 7-8-9 and yes, we have a budget for this, we want to ensure excellent quality as we had for a few years while keeping, of course, the costs reasonable.
I am gathering on this post the different options you guys are recommending, we will do a price and reference comparison and then select a supplier. We are happy to give a huge visibility to the partner who will help us. LeWeb is entirely managed by my wife so we won't be able to take crazy budgets, but we want to be faire and LeWeb can also give a great advertising to the partner who will manage to do it, as Gary and his team did.
I will likely update the post with the options I see. Of course we will look for a team with experience with 1,000s of attendees at events, given the complexity.
Feel free to email me at loic at seesmic dot com if you have ideas.
thanks in advance!

Village Vanguard Live: Bernstein, Goldings & Stewart
November 14, 2013. Posted by Chris Dennison.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive, live at the village vanguard, Live Music, Live Music Blogging
A great organ trio is like your favorite diner. You know the dishes and ingredients by heart, but they taste better every time, so you always want to come back for more.
Listen now to Larry Goldings on organ, Peter Bernstein on guitar and and drummer Bill Stewart from New York's Village Vanguard, as broadcast live by WBGO on November 13.
Listeners love what these three serve up, with good reason. After twenty-five years together, they show an almost telepathic ability to read each other's moves and predict where their improvisations will take them.
While they have been billed over time as the Larry Goldings Trio and the Peter Bernstein Trio, at the Vanguard they are billed as what they truly are: a deeply intuitive and collaborative trio.
Goldings' relocation to the West Coast and busy schedules as sidemen make these trio gigs less frequent, but they are worth the wait. When these three play together, they sound like they are coming home: they combine a harmonically developed post-bop approach to melody with down-home blues and a hard-driving swing feel.
The group's 2011 CD Live at Smalls offers a good introduction to this sound, in particular their take on "Milestones." Goldings launches the iconic Miles Davis piece with with an esoteric free introduction, after which the band joins him for a statement of the melody and a solo by Bernstein.
Goldings then steers the tune back towards the freer side of things, with intervallic passages and skillfully employed reiterations of material from the tune. Stewart's sense of melody is on full display during his solo on "Milestones," and he provides thoughtful accompaniment throughout, from his subtle brushwork on "Nobody Else But Me" to the way he drives Bernstein and Goldings on the swinging "Chant."

Staff Writer
McALESTER —
A juror was dismissed from duty Tuesday in Pittsburg County District Court after authorities determined he had a conversation with the alleged victim.
Michael Wayne Lalli was in a waiting area at the court house, prepared to serve as a juror in a pending trial when he saw an old friend, Charlie Fields. According to Fields, the two sat together and exchanged pleasantries and spoke about motorcycles.
Although Fields spoke only with this one juror, the rest of the potential jurors were seated in close proximity to the two old friends.
And although there is nothing out of the norm when two old friends see eachother and have a chat, there is a problem when one of those friends is an alleged victim in a trial in which the other is serving as a juror.
Special Judge Tim Mills heard statements Tuesday morning from both prosecution and defense attorneys regarding the Lalli and Fields' conversation. Mills then called Fields into the courtroom and questioned him regarding his discussion and relationship with Lalli. Fields told the judge that he and Lalli were old friends that rode motorcycles together and their discussion earlier that day was regarding their bikes. "I've rode the same motorcycle since 1977 — a Sportster — he had the same one," Fields told the judge.
Mills then called Lalli into the court and excused him from jury duty.
The remaining 19 potential jurors were then called into the courtroom and jury selection for the trial began at about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The defendant in the case, Miles Jordan Tarron, 19, of McAlester, is accused of assaulting Fields by elbowing him in the stomach.
According to testimony, Tarron was attending a criminal court proceeding for his mother, Angela Marcum on June 2, 2011. When the people attending the court proceeding filed into the crowded hallway outside of the courtroom, Tarron allegedly elbowed Fields, a prosecution witness in his mother's criminal case, in the stomach.
Numerous people testified in Tarron's assault trial Tuesday, including Fields, who testified that at first he thought that Tarron's bump was accidental, until he then saw Tarron looking at him with a mean expression on his face.
Fields' girlfriend, Tresa Pippin also testified that Tarron was giving "mean" looks. "He was looking down on me with a hard look on his face," Pippin testified.
District 18 Drug Court Coordinator Deborah Burrows testified that she was in the courtroom on June 2, 2011. Burrows testified that on that day, Fields began coughing and making other disruptive sounds during statements that were in support of Marcum. Burrows said she believed Fields was making these disruptive sounds intentionally because he didn't like what he was hearing. Burrows also testified that she observed Tarron become angry with Fields and she saw Tarron "glare" at Fields multiple times.
Jurors heard testimony from Johnny D. Blankenship, whose company installed the video surveillance system at the Pittsburg County Courthouse.
Jurors also viewed a video footage of the alleged assault on June 2, 2012. Pittsburg County Det. Tommy Lyons testified that he investigated the alleged assault. He discussed the video footage and testified about a letter he received from Tarron during his investigation. "I may have accidentally bumped into someone and if I did, I appologize," Tarron said in this statement.
The jurors were them dismissed from the courtroom for a break and Tarron's defense attorney, Shannon McMurray, requested that Mills dismiss the case without letting it go to the jury. "There is absolutely no evidence that this was done intentionally," McMurray said.
Mills then commented regarding the video footage, "If it happened on the video," Mills said, "then your eyesight is way better than mine, because I didn't see it." Mills then overruled McMurray's request, stating that there is other testimony that the jury has to consider.
At this point in the trial, the prosecution's attorney, Megan Tilly, rested her case. McMurray then called two witnesses who were also in the crowded hallway on June 2, 2011, when the alleged assault took place. Both witnesses testified that the hallway was very crowded and difficult to maneuver without bumping into people. Both witnesses also testified that Fields began speaking aggressively to Tarron outside of the courthouse, after the alleged assault took place. They testified that Fields was talking negatively to Tarron and Tarron looked in Fields direction, but just walked right by, ignoring the comments.
The trial were expected to continue Wednesday.

Thanks for the advice man. I'm not concerned about my property. My dogs like to roam the neighborhood when they escape. My concern is the fact that one day one of them runs into a area where coyotes and pretty much gets fooled thinking they are a normal dog. My dogs are really friendly towards other dogs, so they probably wouldn't know the difference.

NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 13: Actress Tori Spelling walks the runway wearing Betsey Johnson at The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection at The Tent in Bryant Park on February 13, 2009 in New York City. (Photo by George Napolitano/FilmMagic) *** Local Caption *** Tori Spelling
The Tori and Candy Spelling family feud has cooled off, according to E! Online.
The site reported that the reality star and her mom have privately reconciled their once very public feud.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: '90210' Alum Tori Spelling
A source told the site that the two began rebuilding their relationship in September after each spent time in the hospital. And Candy has even reportedly met her latest grandchild, 18-month-old Stella, and visited with Liam, 2.
In July, Candy wrote an open letter to Tori criticizing her daughter for making her grandchildren "reality show props" after being invited to meet Stella for the first time at a party to be filmed for Tori's reality show, "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Celebs & Their Moms
And in May, Candy told 94.7's WMAS-FM's Kellogg Krew that she was "trying to work on the relationship," but added that Tori had chosen not to speak to her – or her family, including her late father, TV mogul Aaron Spelling.
"That's what killed my husband, actually," she said at the time. "He just didn't want to live after that. He [had] just done everything he could possibly do for his daughter, and she wanted no part of him once he couldn't do anything for her."
Aaron died on June 23, 2006, after suffering a stroke.

This is a simple park but provided a quiet night's rest at a reasonable price. Nothing fancy, but good for an overnight stay when traveling I-10.

Ivy's Cove RV Retreat
[ 6/10 ]
I had read the previous reviews on Ivy's Cove. When the planes and helicopters started flying low over our heads, sounding like they would land on the roof, I couldn't believe nobody had mentioned that in their reviews! This went on until midnight when we finally got to sleep. It started again at 6 AM. Other than that, it was a fine campground.
Tucumcari, New Mexico
Cactus RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
This is a simple campground but has everything you need and a very nice lady in the office who will show you right to your site. The price is right, the campground was pretty quiet since it is away from the interstate (but not too far), and it made a good overnight stop.

Very nice park with very friendly owner. Easy access and good interior roads. Especially spacious sites because they are staggered. Park on level concrete. Signage is plentiful and clear.

Point guard Myck Kabongo of St. Benedict's Prep is now the first commitment for the Longhorn basketball class of 2011. Kabongo stars with 2010 commit Tristan Thompson on their high school and AAU teams. Recruited by Rick Barnes and Rodney Terry, Kabongo has told his AAU coach for some time that he knew Texas was the right place for him, finally committing on his birthday. With transfer Jai Lucas becoming eligible some time next season and Kabongo enrolling during Lucas' senior season (assuming Lucas doesn't lose a year of eligibility for playing in one exhibition game), the future of the Longhorn point guard position is settled for years to come.

If you didn't bother filing a federal tax return for 2009, it might be a good time to rethink your tax strategy.
The Internal Revenue Service says it has $917 million in unclaimed tax refunds from 2009, and time is running out to claim them.
The refunds are owed to nearly 1 million people who failed to file returns for 2009. Taxpayers must file their 2009 returns by April 15 to claim their refunds. After that, the money becomes property of the U.S. Treasury.
People in every state and the District of Columbia are owed refunds, including 100,700 people in California and 86,000 people in Texas. The IRS says most of the refunds exceed $500.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The Navy will pay NASA nearly $2 million a year to conduct field carrier landing practice at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
NASA and the Navy made the announcement on Thursday. The Navy says the E-2 Hawkeye and C-2 Greyhound aircraft will conduct up to 20,000 passes annually at the site.
The money will go toward upgrading the facility's airfield and conducting repairs. The Navy has also agreed to reimburse NASA for support services it uses during training.
The flights may begin as early as this summer and the Navy will begin making improvements to the airfield in the next few weeks. That includes construction of concrete pads and installation of airfield lighting to simulate the deck configuration aboard a Navy aircraft carrier.
