No. 48: N.C. State
By Paul Myerberg // Jul 16, 2011
Yeah, Tom O'Brien said it, but I didn't think he meant it. I'm talking about February, March and April, when O'Brien told anyone who would listen that his team was moving on without all-A.C.C. quarterback Russell Wilson, then a member of the Colorado Rockies minor league organization, not the Wisconsin Badgers. I didn't really believe it for one simple reason: no coach – or so I thought – would bid adieu to a quarterback as gifted and experienced as Wilson; a coach could get steaming mad that, once again, his star wasn't around for spring ball, but no coach would so firmly shut the door on his return. Well, Tom O'Brien would, and did, and in doing so placed himself firmly under the microscope should his team struggle as a result.

Last year's prediction
Is there any reason to expect an improvement? Yes, there is. If he's fully recovered — and he may not be — Irving will provide this group with a significant boost. He'll highlight an improved back seven, though the Wolfpack will rely upon production from some relatively unproven contributors. If — and it's a large if — N.C. State can return to even its 2007 form on defense, the offense is good enough to lead this team to eight wins. It's just a matter of time, in my opinion, before Tom O'Brien wins in Raleigh; he's too good a coach to expect otherwise. I think we'll see a better Wolfpack team in 2010, a team that will return to bowl play for the first time since 2005, but I have N.C. State finishing fourth in the Atlantic division. For a program fallen on hard times, a bowl trip would be just fine.
2010 recap
In a nutshell Those N.C. State fans patient enough to wait through three seasons of mediocrity under Tom O'Brien were rewarded with the program's finest regular season since 2002, a nine-win finish that saw the Wolfpack shake off the post-Phillip Rivers doldrums. As with the 2002-3 teams that combined for 19 wins, N.C. State was led by a polished, veteran quarterback whose steady hand yielded an A.C.C.-best 281.7 passing yards per game. This season's biggest development, however, was the improvement on the defensive side of the ball: N.C. State cut more than nine points per game from last year's scoring defense, allowing only 21.3 points per game. The best news, however, is this intangible idea that N.C. State has turned a corner under O'Brien; now that the foundation has been laid, it's easy to picture a consistently strong program over the next handful of seasons. Will the climb continue without that same veteran quarterback?
High point A 28-24 win over Florida State on Oct. 28. If the Wolfpack had defeated Maryland in the regular season finale, the victory over F.S.U. would have given them the head-to-head tiebreaker for the Atlantic division title. Also impressive: a 23-7 win over West Virginia during bowl play. Here's guessing it'll be a long time before the Mountaineers score only seven points in a game again.
Low point The 38-31 loss to Maryland looms large, as does a 14-13 loss to Clemson three weeks earlier. Yes, a win over Maryland would have won the Atlantic; a win over a very average Clemson team, on the other hand, would have won the Atlantic in advance of the season finale.
Tidbit There are two state capitals named after individuals who died by execution. One is Raleigh: Sir Walter Raleigh was imprisoned soon after the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603, and was executed in 1619 – saying to his executioner, "Strike, man, strike!" Raleigh was not a weak man. The other was Saint Paul, as in Saint Paul, Minnesota, who was executed during the reign of Nero around 60 A.D. Both were beheaded, in fact. This is a good trivia question to ask the family at the dinner table. Here's another: Which state capitals include the state itself in its name? No cheating, please.
Tidbit (experience edition) This is not an inexperienced coaching staff. Combined, O'Brien's nine assistants bring 235 years of experience into 2011, paced by special teams coach Jerry Petercuskie's 37 seasons along the sidelines. Defensive coordinator Mike Archer is a 36-year veteran; offensive coordinator Dana Bible 34 years; tight ends coach Don Horton and linebackers coach Jon Tenuta 31 years; offensive line coach Jim Bridge 21 years; defensive line coach Keith Willis 17 years; running backs coach Everette Sands 16 years; and defensive backs coach Mike Reed 13 years. I assume that Reed, the young guy, brings snacks and coffee to every meeting.
Tidbit (draft edition) Former N.C. State linebacker Nate Irving was taken in the third round of April's N.F.L. draft, marking the 15th consecutive year that the program has had at least one player selected in the draft. The last time N.C. State was shutout was in 1996; prior to that, N.C. State had a player taken in each draft from 1978-95. The decade of the 2000s were especially fruitful for the Wolfpack: 27 players were taken in the draft, six in 2006, when three defensive linemen went in the first round.
Former players in the N.F.L.
20 RB Andre Brown (Washington), WR Brian Cook (Detroit), WR Jerricho Cotchery (New York Jets), C Leroy Harris (Tennessee), K Steven Hauschka (Denver), TE Anthony Hill (Houston), S Marcus Hudson (Carolina), LB Nate Irving (Denver), C Ted Larsen (Tampa Bay), LB Manny Lawson (San Francisco), OT Sean Locklear (Seattle), DT John McCargo (Buffalo), DT DeMario Pressley (Indianapolis), QB Philip Rivers (San Diego), LB Stephen Tulloch (Tennessee), DT Tank Tyler (Chicago), CB Brian Williams (Atlanta), DE Mario Williams (Houston), S Adrian Wilson (Arizona), DE Willie Young (Detroit).

Tom O'Brien (Navy '71), 25-25 after four seasons with the Wolfpack. N.C. State finally broke through under the former Boston College coach, winning nine games — the program's first winning season under his watch — after a very disappointing 2009 season. The nine-win finish not only placed the Wolfpack back on the A.C.C. map but also rejuvenated O'Brien's standing among the conference's best coaches; his stature had taken a bit of hit following his 16-21 start to his stint at N.C. State. O'Brien moved south to Raleigh after 10 years with the Eagles (1997-2006), where he departed holding the school record for career wins (75 victories). He took over a stumbling program racked by a gambling scandal under his predecessor Dan Henning, and after suffering through a pair of 4-7 seasons led the Eagles to eight straight winning seasons and an N.C.A.A.-best eight consecutive bowl victories. It was an odd departure from Chestnut Hill, as neither O'Brien nor the administration seemed to make much of an effort to come together after news of his impending departure became evident. However, despite Boston College's recent success, it's clear that the support and attention the N.C. State program receives makes it a career upgrade for O'Brien. The marriage was rocky early, but O'Brien justified the program's faith by turning things around a year ago. While many thought he'd have the Wolfpack back near the top of the A.C.C. sooner, wisely consider the following: better late than never. And I don't think this team is going to step back at all in 2011 and beyond.
Players to watch
Mike Glennon must deal with the unenviable comparisons to his predecessor, as Wilson's figure continues to loom large over this offense — the quarterback position in particular, of course. It wouldn't be a great position for most quarterbacks to step into; not so for Glennon, however, who has patiently awaited his turn behind Wilson over the last three years, actually coming close to winning the starting job as a true freshman in 2008. Wilson took the job and ran with it, pushing Glennon into a secondary role, one he filled as one of the nation's best backup quarterbacks.
It's going to be tough for Glennon to duplicate Wilson's totals, but N.C. State should be excited about his potential in this offense. For starters, Glennon has been itching for this opportunity since stepping on campus: he took a backup role, but he didn't like it. Secondly, there's no doubting his ability: Glennon has the makings of a very good passing quarterback. Thirdly, now that he's entering his fourth year on campus, Glennon knows this system as well as anyone. He's certainly under a spotlight — see the right sidebar — but Glennon has all the tools to succeed. Having said that, N.C. State would rather have Wilson, I would think. But that's more a reflection on the departed starter's ability, not any of Glennon's perceived weaknesses.
Along with Wilson, N.C. State is missing a few other pieces of the passing game in departed receivers Owen Spencer, Jarvis Williams and Darrell Davis, a trio that combined to make 138 catches for 1,952 yards and 12 scores a year ago. You can very well make the argument that N.C. State's receiver position is a greater concern than the transition to Glennon under center. It's positively vital that senior T.J. Graham (25 catches for 318 yards) step into the void as the team's lead receiver: he has the speed and athletic ability, but Graham needs to put his complete game together. Fellow receivers Jay Smith and Steven Howard are experienced seniors who should also step into larger roles. Could former JUCO transfer Tobias Palmer make an impact after taking a redshirt last fall? One thing is sure: tight end George Bryan (35 for 369), a genuine all-American candidate, will be one of Glennon's favorite targets. While he's a very good one, N.C. State needs a receiver to step up and compliment Graham.
Stop me if you've heard this before: N.C. State wants to beef up its ground game. Hey, the Wolfpack aren't the only team looking to get more production running the football; they're just one of many teams that continues to express an overwhelming desire for more offensive balance yet, each fall, seems to come up short on the ground. Much depends on the play of the offensive line, which I'll touch on below, as it seems that N.C. State has found a definite all-conference caliber back in sophomore Mustafa Greene. Despite starting only one game, Greene led N.C. State with 597 yards rushing last fall. He started strong, scoring at least once in each of his first four games before trailing off a bit down the stretch, but Greene acquitted himself well as a rookie contributor. He'll get more touches in 2011 and has 1,000-yard potential, hinging on the play up front. The Wolfpack could also call on James Washington, who added 27 receptions to go with his 215 yards rushing, as well as Brandon Barnes, who is back in action after missing last season with an ankle injury.
We didn't quite see a night-and-day improvement from this defense: more like a early evening-and-day improvement, if that makes sense. The defense was clearly improved, however, both in the bottom line – scoring – and in terms of play-to-play success, beefing up against both the run and the pass, but still struggled through bouts with inconsistency. Good defenses do what N.C. State did last fall; great defenses don't go from shutting down one opponent to allowing a Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech or North Carolina to have their way. It starts by doing a better job against the pass.
The secondary was better, but still did not do an adequate job forcing turnovers. With a solid front seven in place, the Wolfpack need to lock down its starting cornerbacks, as while there are options the roles still seem undefined. Jarvis Byrd, a sophomore, is back in action after missing last fall with a knee injury. A three-game starter as a rookie, Byrd should be a key contributor if he can recover his 2009 form. He's one of four cornerbacks with starting experience, joining sophomore David Amerson (50 tackles), a nine-game starter last fall; full-time starter C.J. Wilson, a junior; and senior Justin Byers. While the starting jobs may still be in the process of being sorted out, at least N.C. State can feel confident in the depth at the position: it's nice to go four deep at cornerback. I do think N.C. State can get better play than it received from last year's starters, however. New blood may not be a bad thing.
Everything is locked into place at safety. Juniors Brandan Bishop (64 tackles, 4 interceptions) and Earl Wolff (91 tackles, 2.5 sacks) are a formidable starting pairing, one that should be even better with an added year of experience – particularly Wolff, who impressed as a rookie starter in 2010. Moving former running back Dean Haynes over to safety does two things for N.C. State: one, it allows Haynes himself to play a more substantial role, perhaps; and two, it creates added depth at the position. But Bishop and Wolff won't be unseated, though Haynes could still play an important role as a reserve.
The Wolfpack will move all-A.C.C. linebacker Audie Cole (97 tackles, 10.5 for loss, 5 sacks) into the middle in an effort to replace Nate Irving. Cole will be the leader of this defense, in his experience, his voice and his production, and should again be one of the conference's best. And he'll see his stature rise now that Irving, one of the great stories in college football last fall, has moved onto the next level. N.C. State has another good one on the weak side in junior Terrell Manning (76 tackles, 11 for loss). Cole's move does open up a hole on the strong side, one that will be filled at first by converted safety D.J. Green. I think former Syracuse transfer E.J. Carter should be an option here, but he's currently not in the mix, according to the most recent depth chart.
One area where the N.C. State defensive line must improve is in getting to the quarterback: the linebackers help out in the pass rush, but getting more consistent pressure from the front four will take substantial pressure off the linebacker corps and the secondary. One area where the N.C. State defensive line already excels is against the run: 14th nationally in this category last fall, N.C. State suffered a lapse against Virginia Tech but, in the big picture, was one the A.C.C.'s best.
This is due in large part to senior tackle J.R. Sweezy (46 tackles, 13 for loss, 6 sacks). After starting at linebacker before moving down to end, Sweezy has found a real home in the middle of the line, combining size and athletic ability to be perhaps the conference's most disruptive interior lineman. He's one of two returning starters up front, joining end Jeff Rieskamp (27 tackles, 2 sacks) – he's one lineman who will be counted on to get to the quarterback. Brian Slay should start alongside Sweezy inside, while the Wolfpack could go with either sophomore Darryl Cato-Bishop or JUCO transfer McKay Frandsden opposite Rieskamp.
Position battle(s) to watch
Offensive line This unit has consistently disappointed, waylaying O'Brien's hopes of duplicating the potent running game that defined Boston College's offense during his stint in Chestnut Hill. The Wolfpack have had talented running backs, skill players capable of cracking the 1,000-yard mark; what the program hasn't had is solid play up front, which is why the offense has been marked by a distinct lack of balance. As for this year's group, the Wolfpack must move forward not just without left tackle Jake Vermiglio, lost to graduation, but without starting left guard Andrew Wallace, out until at least October after a late-season knee injury. That's a big loss: N.C. State will place an even greater focus on the run in 2011, and Wallace's presence will be sorely missed. Vermiglio will be replaced by junior R.J. Mattes, a 10-game starter at right tackle a year ago and, perhaps, N.C. State's most consistent offensive lineman. Cameron Wentz returns at center – he's an all-A.C.C. candidate, like Mattes – and Zach Allen at right guard, giving the Wolfpack at least a solid foundation upon which to build this starting front. But there are holes at left guard and right tackle, though Wallace's projected return would take care of guard come the heart of A.C.C. play. Until then, N.C. State will turn the job over to sophomore Duran Christophe, who started in Wallace's stead in the bowl win over West Virginia. But that move does task the team's depth up front, although the experience he gains will come in handy once Wallace is back in the fold. Is ballyhooed sophomore Robert Crisp ready to assume a starting role? He started the season opener on the blind side as a freshman but rarely saw the fall from that point on; while he's the future, Crisp needs to have improved before moving into the starting lineup. If he is ready, however, N.C. State could put him at left tackle and move Mattes back to the right side. That'll happen eventually, as Crisp has all the makings of a big-time player.
Game(s) to watch
The first half will go smoothly. N.C.State might — there's a solid chance, at least — start 7-0, though that would entail wins over Cincinnati and Georgia Tech. Things get tougher down the stretch, so the Wolfpack might need to be 6-1 or 7-0 in order to duplicate last year's nine-win finish.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell N.C. State's not going anywhere: the Wolfpack will again factor into the A.C.C. mix, winning at least seven games and competing with Clemson for the second spot in the Atlantic division. I don't think this team can hang with Florida State, but few can, A.C.C. or otherwise. I should say – and you can see that by checking out last year's end-of-season ranking for the Wolfpack – that N.C. State won't be quite as good as it was last fall, when it was right in the mix for a national ranking. Alright, so why? Because of a few concerns: not overwhelming concerns, but worries that make me less confident that the Wolfpack can match last season's output, let alone improve upon it. One is at quarterback. I think Glennon has the makings of a very good college quarterback, but it's only natural to expect some drop-off as the team transitions away from Wilson. In 2011, at least, as Glennon should develop into an all-A.C.C. quarterback once he gains experience. Another offensive issue stems from N.C. State's desire to again place an emphasis on the run: we've heard this refrain before, but the Wolfpack haven't delivered when it counted. Defensively, we must see better play from the secondary. If would help to have a more potent pass rush, but I don't think we can say with any certainty that this front four, especially at end, can get to the quarterback with any consistency. It has been said that the secondary, the cornerbacks in particular, took a big step forward during the spring; we'll have to believe it when we see it in September. This is a very solid team, one that should advance to bowl play without too much trouble, but I'm hesitant to put the Wolfpack in the mix for a nationally-ranked finish. One thing I know for sure: N.C. State is not falling back to 5-7, where it stumbled to in 2009 after its first step forward under O'Brien. This is a good, well-coached team.
Dream season The Wolfpack start strong, as expected, but really impress down the stretch in wins over Florida State, North Carolina and Clemson. At the end of the regular season, N.C. State stands at 10-2, 7-1 in the A.C.C., and atop the Atlantic division.
Nightmare season A slow start puts O'Brien and the Wolfpack behind an enormous eight ball come October. As a result, N.C. State slides back to 5-7, out of bowl play for the second time in three years.

BYU up next, I think….
BYU, with a satellite campus in Hawaii.
I think SMU is up next. Satellite campus in Taos, New Mexico and the distance is about right for the clue.
It's not BYU. BYU does have satellite campuses in Hawaii and Idaho – but the campus in Rexburg is only 300 or so miles from Provo and the campus in Hawaii is definitely more than 680.
Burnt Orange is right – the distance between Taos, New Mexico and Dallas, Texas, is roughly 680 miles.
BYU's has two additional campuses – one in Rexburg, Idaho and another in Laie, Hawaii – but they are respectively 286 and 2947 miles from Provo.
It's got to be SMU.
If Wisconsin wins the Big 10, and Wilson gets an invite to the Newton Trophy ceremony, things could get a little testy around NC State campus.
At some point, some intrepid reporter is going to have to ask O'Brien what on earth he was thinking.
Pony Up!
I wasn't sure ic you were being sarcastic or not in your question – but the only two current state capitals that fit that description are Oklahoma City and Indianapolis
Iowa City was the capital of the State of Iowa from 1846-1857, but all other cities that histroically fit the criteria were capitals of territories or other non-state entities.
There's also an honorable mention for Providence, RI; since that proper name of the state is "Rhode Island and Providence Plantations" the name of the state contains the name of the capital!

So, that means I am going to take a break from blogging. It's just too crazy right now. I haven't had any chance to stitch. Instead I spent a few hours working at home today! Oh well, Feast-or-Famine in action!
I do have some finishing to show you though as a "parting" post. Before I went back to work I decided to do some little pillow finishing and I completed two. I also got to try out stitching with some 1/8" chenille trim that I received in an exchange. I just love how it just picks up and accents certain colours in a design.
Here we go. I'll just let the photos speak for themselves.
I so enjoyed finishing these! They are just stuffed with poly-fill. I love the skinny trims. I will definitely do more of this style of finishing!
Well, my dears, know that I am thinking of you even if you don't hear from me. I haven't been online much and please do excuse me if I have not been corresponding as much as I have in the past. I am just trying to keep my head above water!
Thank you for your visit. Hopefully it won't be long before I am back stitching and posting. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of summer! xoxoxo

Preventing and Treating Canine Diabetes
An all-too-common malady demystified
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.

Great article! I have an almost 4 year old Chocolate Lab who was diagnosed with diabetes at 18 months old. (Normal weight, healthy young dog)
It was quite a challenge at first but within a few weeks he was under control and we were all "experts" in managing his care. He nearly lost his sight last summer - but we found a wonderful canine opthamologist and had cataract surgery for him. His sight was fully restored.
This is probably the most comprehensive article I have read about the care of a dog with diabetes. It is good to know what else to expect he may have challenges with in the coming years. Right now - he is doing fine.

Hi Sharon,
I came across this article and saw your comment and had to reply. We also have a black lab that is almost 4 years old and he was diagnosed at about 18 months with diabetes. He was also very healthy. I agree that it was quite the challenge and we had cataract surgery too and Kingston is doing great. We are still working on his Insulin dose and are always trying to get him more controlled. This article was very helpful!

If you have any suggestions on food I would greatly appreciate any information I could get. I have a 9 yr old black lab that has recently been diagnosed and it has been very hard on us she has adapted very well but it is gradually taking a toll on her. She has lost her sight but we don't think she is stable enough for surgery and this week I have noticed her moving slower so I am hoping a change of diet will help her. Would love to hear your suggestions.

I have a 12+ year old black lab he was diagnosed 2 months ago our vet and the problem is regulated blood sugar levels. We think we have some kinda handle on it and it spikes of 500. We give no scraps and only what vet says. He is almost totally blind now. COOPER is a real trooper he has still got puppy in him. At times I wish I knew what to do when it spikes. Talking again to vet in 4 days. He is on 17 cc or whatever it's called two times daily. I am getting scared now. Because it will go down then right back up. Any suggestions for US.

The title of this article suggested that ways to prevent dogs from developing diabetes would be discussed. I didn't really read any ways to prevent diabetes in this article unfortunately. While I'm glad that canine diabetes can be fairly easily managed with a little knowledge, shouldn't we be more interested in preventing our loved ones from developing this disease in the first place????

For what it's worth, the dental chew treats that you can buy in the supermarket (the chewy ones made with glycerin and rice flour that are supposed to reduce tartar and plaque buildup on dog's teeth) seem to cause bladder infections in my dog, which I think may be precipitated by high blood sugar.
My beagle mix has hypothyroidism, and shortly before she was diagnosed, she started passing blood in her urine. The vet determined that she had a bladder infection, and that her blood sugar was very high. I was giving her one of these dental chew sticks every day.
The vet told me she needed to lose weight fast, and since I was concerned that the dental chew sticks might be too high in carbohydrates for her, I stopped buying them.
She's on thyroid medication now, but recently I purchased the dental chew sticks again because I was concerned about her teeth. Within 24 hours, she started passing blood in her urine.
I'm not sure what the issue is with these sticks. Could they be high in sugar or other refined carbohydrates? Whatever the reason, I've decided not to give them to my dog again.

I am on the Board of the South Jersey Chapter of the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). I have also been a diabetic for 30 years. Diabetes affects pet and children alike and has been increasing 5% per year. The target age for diagnosis for kids is now 1-4 years. It is one of the top 5 diseases in canine and top 3 in cats. We have partnered with a local veterinary organization to include Pets in our annual Walk for the Cure. This program, PAWS for the Cause, is directly targeted at diabetes research. Since our inception we have raised $1.6B for research. If you would like to help us fund research to cure this disease please visit http://www.regionalvet.com/paws-for-the-cause.php. Any help you can give us is appreciated. We are a grassroots organization dedicated to managing and curing this disease.

My dog was diagnosed three years ago and she continues to do pretty well with exercise and a very strict diet. I think putting her on natural dog food really turned her health around. We were very happy with the Natural Balance food our vet suggested because it kept her weight at a safe number and she really likes the taste. We also give her Healthy Bones treats throughout the day to keep her insulin levels stabilized.

My Keeshond Leo was diagnosed as the age of 8 back in April of 2009 (about 3 months before he turned 9 years old). He went completely blind within a month. Thankfully I was able to save up enough money to return his sight to him (people thought I was crazy and said that he would adjust; but he never did...he was becoming a scared animal all the time and that totally wasn't my Leo). He is now 12 years old and acts like he did back when he was a young dog.
Unfortunately we still have yet to fully control his diabetes. He has been pretty unregulated since the beginning. Switching to a grain free diet did help a ton (he is now eating Blue Buffalo Wilderness Senior) but he is still about 50 mg/dl above the normal range.

Been looking for any help with my newly diagnosed diabetic toy poodle. Last July she developed ketoacidosis. After a rush to the ER came the news of diabetes. My Angel went totally blind within a month. She was set to get cataract surgery but it was held off due to her abnormal curve test. No matter how often we seem to repeat this test and go up on insulin it's always abnormal. I really want her sight restored. Seems so unfair. She manages well without sight finally. Some say let her be but I know she wants to run around outside freely again with her sis. She eats twice a day with insulin that follows but my gut is telling me she needs a few snacks in between to stabilize her. I never give in or go against the vet but she seems always hungry. She's on Prescription Diet food. I've been reading, buying books but can't seem to find the answer. Anyone out there with suggestions please help. We're due for ANOTHER curve test soon.
Submitted by Kim and Sage | March 3 2013 | Permalink
Sage (11yo Cairn Terrier) and I have been dealing with her diabetes and cataracts since 2009...she has been hard to regulate and I do her curves with an AlphaTrak (pretty easy to do and more accurate because of the stress factor at the vet's). She has lost most of her eyesight but it was gradual and she is a terrier so not much scares her or stops her. There doesn't seem to be any one answer out there and each dog is different but I have had success feeding Sage a homemade diet of rinsed beef, Healthy Dogma supplement (reduced amount in meat when making) and a vitamin and digestive enzyme/probiotic combo. The only goodies she gets are minimal ingredient with no grain/sweeteners (like Buddy Bisquits) and yes, I do give her little goodies (tiny) throughout the day or after a walk. She does well and we have opted not to do surgery for her eyes at this time. We also are using Humulin N (Vetsulin was great for her but alas is gone). I hope some of this information helps...it's way worth it to do all this to keep them as healthy and feeling good while they are with us...good luck!

I am wondering if Science Diet is a good dog food, my daughter's 5 yr old schnauzer was prediabetic, he was not overweight, her vet said to start feeding Science Diet light for adult dog. He has since started pooping in the house, and can't make it through the day without an accident. Is the dog food causing this.
Submitted by Linda | March 26 2013 | Permalink
I lost one schnauzer to complication of diabetes. My second one almost died also. The vet food they were giving him was starving him to death. He is now on a diet of roasted chicken and green beans, twice a day. I also give him a mid day snack of sliced turkey. Only when I began feeding him myself did he improve. He was to the point they told us to put him down - that was over a month ago and he is thriving on green beans and chicken. In looking back, I would not feed my dog the vet prescription food... Just a thought... make sure you monitor the insulin levels when doing this (we took him in weekly to do so). we also found with our own food we brought his insulin dose from 19 unit to 6 !!!!!!!!!

Your story confirms my suspicions on vet recommended food.
One of my 3 Australian Terriers, and the youngest, most active, happy go lucky one, was just diagnosed with diabetes.
How does this happen?
Iam not convinced.
I am about to start the twice daily injections and I assume another change in my little girls diet.
To this end, I would really appreciate the detail/recipe of the chicken an green bean mix.
Many thanks for your post, it has helped me a great deal.

Even if there isn't the research evidence clearly to demonstrate that obesity causes type 2 diabetes in dogs, it is pretty likely! Why? Because it so clearly and dramatically does so in people (who, whilst not in all parameters identical to dogs metabolically, are largely so) and because every vet can tell you that they know of many obese dogs that lost weight and thereby normalised their blood sugar.

Ginger is a Cavalier diagnosed with diabetes about 4 mos ago. Finally got glucometer on e-bay and since her fructosamine was high I stopped dog food and have her on a diet of brown rice, sm amt green veg, chicken, fish, occ. beef, occ bone to chew on, sm amt liver and her sugar dropped and dropped. Also walk 2 x a day. Now trying to adjust insulin. I am thinking she will end up on 7U am and pm with a snack mid day. She still gets low before supper. Before changing diet she was in 300s every month. I have been obsessed with getting this right and still will not be happy till I get 200 readings. I highly recommend getting a glucose monitor, otherwise I was flying blind.

Legal Docket
Application of Miranda warnings to 17-year-old and whether age must be considered when determining the question of whether he was "in custody."
Addressed the issue of a 12-year-old's competency to stand trial and whether his due process rights were violated by the trial court's failure to order competency evaluations.
Filed a class action lawsuit seeking appointment of counsel for all children in dependency proceedings, as guaranteed under state law.
Filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of two juveniles who were subjected to excessive and intolerable isolation while in the custody of the New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commission (JJC), claiming violations of substantive and procedural due process rights under federal and state law.
Challenged the adequacy of Philadelphia's program of aftercare probation, which was responsible for a child's course of treatment in, discharge from, and supervision following detention for juvenile offenses.
Argued that a provision in New Mexico state law allowing juveniles to be sentenced by juvenile court judges as adults if the judge found them "not amenable to treatment" was unconstitutional under the Sixth Amendment.
Argued that a New Jersey statute governing transfer of juveniles to adult court, and the Attorney General Waiver Guidelines, as applied, violated a juvenile's right to due process, and violated the separation of powers clause of the New Jersey State Constitution.
Argued that certification hearing deprived Appellant of due process, that juveniles are particularly susceptible to the pressure and coercion that are central to felony-murder and manslaughter, and that juvenile developmental status is relevant to constitutional analysis.
Argued that Illinois' statutory sentencing scheme is unconstitutional because it subjects youth to mandatory sentencing schemes upon conviction without the opportunity for any judicial review before being tried in adult court.
This brief to the Connecticut Supreme Court dealt with a Connecticut statute governing transfer of juveniles to adult court. Amici argued that the statute, which gave the prosecutor sole discretion to transfer a juvenile's case to the adult criminal system, deprived juveniles of their right to due process.
Argued that mandatory life without parole sentences for juveniles convicted of homicide offenses are unconstitutional.
Motions were filed with the juvenile court seeking nunc pro tunc relief on behalf of youth who in York County had been adjudicated delinquent for sex offenses prior to December 2012 when the SORNA law went into effect. The motions for nunc pro tunc relief ask the court to reconsider their classification as juvenile sex offenders and remove their information from the sex offender registry.
These briefs involved a thirteen-year-old student who was questioned by four adults, including a uniformed police officer, on school grounds regarding a series of break-ins. Juvenile Law Center argued that the student should have been considered in custody for Miranda purposes.

Comments about NOW NUTRITION Now® GABA:
After doing some research, I got this for my husband to take to help with stress and anxiety. GABA is said to be a neurotransmitter and work with brain function. This GABA with the B-6 added is great for daytime because it helps keep energy up. He takes the 750 mg at bedtime, but found that it (the 750) makes him tired if taken during the day. He takes a couple in the morning, then in the afternoon, then his bedtime 750 mg. We can tell a difference with his stress and anxiety, but it may take a bit before you can see the full benefits. I have also read that it works for epilepsy, but have no experience with that myself. He has seen no side effects. One quick note - you should not take it at bedtime with Valerian, or you may be super sluggish the next day.

Comments about NOW NUTRITION Now® GABA:
I used to take 5HTP for anxiety and mild depression. Because of good reviews, I wanted to give GABA a try, but unfortunately it was not what I expected. I do not feel more relaxed, nor less depressed.
I would like to think that ir just does not work for me, but might work for other people.

Comments about NOW NUTRITION Now® GABA:
My mind is noticably calmer when I take GABA. I am ADD and my mind is usually all over the place at the speed of light. I take one capsule twice a day and my mind is much calmer and it is easier to think and make sense of things. I don't get overwhelmed as easy.

I take three capsules about a half hour before bed and really puts me in a nice deep sleep. I feel so much better throughout the day. I'm going to try three grams tonight.
