DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire men's basketball team will wrap up its regular season with a Senior Day matchup versus Stony Brook University on Sunday, March 1 at 1 p.m. at Lundholm Gymnasium. A win would give the Wildcats the No. 4 seed – their highest seed since the 2001-02 season – in next weekend's America East tournament and a quarterfinal date with these same fifth-seeded Seawolves. The contest will be broadcast live on Yahoo! radio, with the link available at www.UNHWildcats.com. The Wildcats and Seawolves meet for the 17th time in their relatively young conference rivalry, with UNH leading the all-time series, 11-5. The Wildcats have won seven of the last eight meetings, including three straight against the Seawolves. UNH, which swept the season series last year for the second time in three seasons, goes for its second straight sweep of the season series today. The Wildcats have been victorious in three of the last four games on the road against the Seawolves, and have been even more dominant at home against SBU, winning six of their last seven, including five straight. In the most recent meeting Jan. 28, the Wildcats erased a nine-point deficit to record a 71-60 victory at Pritchard Gymnasium.
After missing nearly two months, senior guard Eric Gilchrese returned to score a season-high 22 points and lift the Wildcats to the victory.
The win snapped the Wildcats' three-game losing skid and improved their record to 8-11 on the season, including 3-4 in America East play. The Seawolves fell to 11-10 overall and 3-5 in the conference. The win was UNH's third straight against SBU and its seventh in the last eight meetings.
In a season-high 31 minutes, Gilchrese – who had missed 12 straight games and had not played since Dec. 6 – was 6 of 10 from the floor, including 5 of 7 from behind the arc. Gilchrese, UNH's America East Player of the Game, was also 5-for-6 from the line to go along with two rebounds and three assists. Senior guard Tyrece Gibbs and sophomore guard Alvin Abreu also scored in double digits with 18 and 17 points, respectively. Gibbs added five rebounds, an assist and a block, while Abreu tallied a rebound, three assists, a block and a steal.
Trailing 34-25 at the half, UNH responded with a 27-8 run that lasted until midway through the second frame. The Wildcats started the half with a 10-2 run – highlighted by eight points from Gilchrese – to cut their deficit to one (36-35) in the first three minutes. After a pair of Tommy Brenton free throws stopped the bleeding for Stony Brook, Gibbs re-opened the flood gates with a 3-pointer at 16:09 that tied the game and sparked a 17-4 UNH run.
A pair of Muhammad El-Amin free throws put the Seawolves back in front, 40-38, until back-to-back baskets by sophomore center Dane DiLiegro recaptured the lead for UNH with 14:00 remaining. El-Amin responded with a jumper to put Stony Brook back in front, but a Gilchrese trey with 13:19 left gave UNH a 45-42 lead – a lead it would hold for good – and sparked a 10-0 Wildcat run. Abreu nailed back-to-back 3s before junior forward Radar Onguetou added a free throw that opened a 52-42 UNH lead with 10:28 to play. The Wildcats scored more points in the first 8:29 of the second half (26) than they did in the entire first half (25).
After Stony Brook had cut the lead to eight, Gilchrese drained his fifth and final trifecta of the night to give UNH its largest lead of the game at 57-46 with just under eight minutes to go. The Seawolves had one last push in them, however, hitting eight free throws over the next three minutes for an 8-0 run that cut their deficit to 57-54.
Two Gibbs free throws would snap the stretch before an El-Amin jumper – the lone Stony Brook field goal over the final 10:01 – kept it a three-point game. After Abreu sank a pair from the line, the Wildcats made a stop on the defensive end and looked to their captain to step up. With the shot clock running down, Gibbs did just that, hitting a fall-away jumper in the lane to put his team up 63-56 with 2:29 on the clock.
A couple of free throws brought Stony Brook within five, but Gibbs came up big again, knocking down another one of his four 3-pointers from the top of the key with 1:08 left to open the Wildcat lead to 66-58. After a missed 3-pointer by the Seawolves, Gibbs corralled the rebound and used a beautiful outlet pass to hit Abreu in stride for a layup with would give UNH a 68-58 lead 44 ticks left and seal the win. The two teams traded free throws before Abreu added one at the line with 27 seconds on the clock to cap the scoring. DiLiegro recorded four points, eight boards, two assists and a steal in the game, while Onguetou chipped in with three points, seven rebounds, an assist and a block.
After SBU scored the first four points of the game, a jumper by Abreu and a 3-pointer by junior guard Colbey Santos gave UNH a 5-4 lead with 17:44 remaining in the first half. The Seawolves went ahead on four straight free throws by El-Amin before a bucket by Abreu cut the lead to one. A Demetrius Young layup put the lead back to three when a Gilchrese trey tied the game at 10 with 12:44 left in the half.
Back-to-back Stony Brook 3s opened a six-point lead until Gibbs answered with one of his own to make it 16-13 with 11:08 remaining. Down 20-15, Gibbs nailed another 3 to slice UNH's deficit to two. The Seawolves would answer, however, crafting a 7-2 run to take a 27-20 lead with 5:30 left. The Wildcats would cut it to four on a Gibbs jumper with 3:16 to play, but another 7-2 Stony Brook run closed the half with the Seawolves on top 34-25.
UNH shot its second highest percentages of the year from both the floor and behind the arc. The Wildcats were 51 percent (24-47) from the field and 48 percent (12-25) from deep, while holding Stony Brook to just 38 percent (17-45) and 27 percent (3-11) in those respective categories. The 'Cats also continued to dominate the glass, holding a 32-26 rebounding advantage.
The block for Gibbs moved him into a fifth-place tie with Blagoj Janev (49) on UNH's all-time blocks list.
El-Amin, Stony Book's Player of the Game, led the Seawolves with a game-high 24.
Senior guard Tyrece Gibbs netted a game-high 20 points to propel the Wildcats to a 64-56 victory over the University at Albany on Feb. 26 at Lundholm Gymnasium.
With their third win in four games, the Wildcats improved to 12-15 on the season, including 7-8 in the America East, and completed the season sweep of Albany. UNH, which has now won three of the last four meetings between the two squads, handed Albany its worst loss ever at SEFCU Arena with a 78-59 win Feb. 15. The 'Cats also matched their most wins in a season under head coach Bill Herrion since his first year at the helm in 2005-06. The Great Danes fell to 14-14 overall and 6-9 in the conference.
Gibbs, UNH's America East Player of the Game, added three rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 38 minutes.
Tied at 49 with 4:01 to play in the game, the Wildcats ripped off a 15-4 run that gave them their largest lead of the game at 64-53 with just 36 seconds remaining. After junior forward Radar Onguetou started the run by putting back a Wildcat miss, Gibbs nailed his fourth and final 3-pointer of the game, which widened the lead to five. After the teams traded pairs of free throws, sophomore center Dane DiLiegro sank four straight from the line to push the lead to nine.
After a layup by Brian Connelly, the Wildcats opened the lead to 11 with Gibbs and Onguetou each draining two from the stripe. Connelly closed the scoring with an old fashioned three-point play with 23 ticks on the clock before Gibbs fittingly dribbled away the final seconds to seal the win. Onguetou came up just shy of a double-double as he scored 12 points and ripped down nine rebounds.
The run may have been sparked by an Onguetou layup, but it was a dunk from his countryman that woke up the Wildcats and the 1,355 fans in attendance at Lundholm. With the teams going back and forth for six-plus minutes, sophomore forward Rony Tchatchoua came up with a huge block on Connelly, grabbed the ball and took it coast-to-coast and finished as he glided through the air with the ball cocked back and slammed it home to give the Wildcats a 46-43 lead with 8:43 remaining. The dunk, which many veteran Wildcat fans said was the best they had ever seen in the building, infused energy into the crowd – which stayed cheering for nearly a minute – and the team for the stretch run. Tchatchoua finished with 12 points on a perfect 5 of 5 from the field and 4 of 4 from the line to go along with three rebounds and three blocks in 22 minutes off the bench.
After a Gibbs trey tied the game at five early in the first half, Albany crafted a 7-2 run to take a five-point lead at 13:27. Still down five a short time later, the Wildcats scored seven straight with a jumper from Tchatchoua, followed by a basket and a 3-pointer from sophomore guard Tyrone Conley, to take a 16-14 lead at 9:35.
The teams then traded 3-pointers before a 10-2 run by the Great Danes put them up 27-21 with 5:17 to go in the opening frame. A Tchatchoua jumper stopped the bleeding, but the teams went back and forth until an alley-oop from Jerel Hastings to Will Harris gave Albany its largest lead of the game at 32-25 with 33 seconds left before the break. Gibbs answered the bell again, however, hitting a tough shot from the top of the key with a defender draped over him as time expired to cut it to 32-27 at the half. Conley chipped in with seven points and five rebounds.
A layup by Tim Ambrose to start the half gave Albany its seven-point advantage right back, but six straight points from the Wildcats cut their deficit to 34-33 at 16:54. Harris responded with a 3-pointer before a jumper by freshman guard Russell Graham and two free throws from Gibbs tied the game at 37 with 13:53 remaining. Graham's relentless on-the-ball defense also helped turn the tide for UNH as it brought an intensity the Wildcats had not really shown up to that point when he first checked into the game at 15:04 in the second half.
Tied at 41, Gibbs knocked down a jumper in the paint that put the Wildcats on top at 11:06. After the Wildcats nudged the lead to three with one at the line, Connelly hit a pair there to cut the UNH lead to 44-43 and set the stage for Tchatchoua's earth-shattering dunk that helped spark the 'Cats to victory.
Gibbs, playing in his 114th game to pass Dirk Koopman and Greg Steele and become UNH's all-time games played leader, finished with 1,272 career points and passed Dan Nolan (1,258) for sixth on the program's scoring list. Gibbs' two blocks also gave him 56 for his career and leapfrogged him past Scott Drapeau (55) for third all-time in blocked shots.
UNH outshot Albany, 43 percent (20-47) to 33 percent (16-48). The Wildcats shot 48 percent (11-23) in the second half when their defense held the Great Danes to just 21 percent on 6 of 29 shooting. The battle on the glass finished in a 33-33 tie, but the Wildcats – the only America East team this year to outrebound the Great Danes – outboarded Albany, 23-15 in the second half. The 'Cats also turned the ball over fewer times (9) than the Danes (11).
Ambrose, Albany's America East Player of the Game, led the Great Danes with 11 points, but was held to just two in the second half by UNH's stifling defense.
Senior guards Tyrece Gibbs and Eric Gilchrese will be honored before the March 1 game against Stony Brook by their coaches, teammates, fans and the UNH community for their contributions to the program during their time in a Wildcat uniform.
If the Wildcats beat Stony Brook on March 1, they will earn the No. 4 seed – their highest seed since the 2001-02 season – in the America East tournament and would play No. 5 Stony Book in the quarterfinal round March 7 at 8:30 p.m. If the Wildcats lose their final regular season game of the season to Stony Brook, they would then be the No. 5 seed with an Albany win at UMBC or the No. 6 seed if UMBC were to defeat Albany. As the fifth seed, UNH would play No. 4 Stony Brook in the quarterfinals at 8:30 p.m. The sixth seed would give the 'Cats a quarterfinal date with third-seeded Boston University at 2:30 p.m.
With their 64-56 win against Albany on Feb. 26, the Wildcats picked up their 12th overall win and seventh in the conference. The 12 wins are the most for UNH since head coach Bill Herrion guided the 'Cats to 12 victories in his first year at the helm in 2005-06. The seven conference wins are also the most since the 'Cats finished 8-8 in the America East in that same season. A win against Stony Brook on March 1 would give the Wildcats their most victories since the 1994-95 season.
The Wildcats have improved each month this season. After starting the year with a 1-3 (.250) record in November, the 'Cats followed with marks of 2-4 (.333) in December, 5-5 (.500) in January and 4-3 (.571) in February.
Rony Tchatchoua threw down an earth-shattering dunk against Albany on Feb. 26. With the teams going back and forth midway through the second half, Tchatchoua came up with a huge block on Brian Connelly, grabbed the ball and took it coast-to-coast and finished as he glided through the air with the ball cocked back and slammed it home to give the Wildcats a 46-43 lead with 8:43 remaining. The dunk, which many veteran Wildcat fans said was the best they had ever seen at Lundholm Gymnasium, infused energy into the crowd of 1,355 – which stayed cheering for nearly a minute – and the team for the stretch run. Tchatchoua finished with 12 points on a perfect 5 of 5 from the field and 4 of 4 from the line to go along with three rebounds and three blocks in 22 minutes off the bench.
Tyrece Gibbs played in his 114th career game as a Wildcat on Feb. 26 versus Albany and became the program's all-time games played leader, passing both Dirk Koopman and Greg Steele, who each played in 113 games.
Including the March 1 game versus Stony Brook, five of the Wildcats' last six games and four in a row have been played on television.
The Wildcats are 11-2 when holding their opponents to 60 points or less and are 6-2 when forcing their opponents to shoot under 40 percent from the floor. The tenacious defense pays off as the Wildcats are 8-1 when leading at halftime. The 'Cats are tough to beat when their barrage of 3-point shooters are on, owning a 6-1 record when shooting over 40 percent from deep. The squad also must like playing in the middle of the week as they are 5-1 on Wednesdays.
The Wildcats have gone to work on the boards this season as they rank second in the conference in rebounding (35.8 rpg) and rebounding margin (+1.6). The 'Cats, who are 8-5 when outrebounding their opponent, have only lost three battles on the glass in conference play this season (Boston University, twice, and UMBC). They are also the only team in the conference this season to outrebound Albany, which leads the America East in rebounding (38.6 rpg) and rebounding margin (+8.0). The Great Dane's rebounding margin is the sixth best in the country.
UNH is ranked within the top 100 teams in the country in a pair of categories. The Wildcats are 47th in 3-point field goals per game (7.8) and 85th in scoring defense (64.2). Individually, Tyrece Gibbs is 44th in the nation in field goal percentage (39.9) and 51st in 3-pointers per game (2.8).
Heading into tonight's contest UNH has recorded at least one 3-pointer in 520 consecutive games, a streak that spans 17 years. The last time the 'Cats did not tally a trey was in a 59-47 loss to Dartmouth College on Jan. 8, 1991, when they were 0-for-3 from behind the arc. The NCAA record is currently 696 games by UNLV, a streak that started Nov. 26, 1986 and is still active.
UNH has had a knack for holding down the opposing team's leading scorer this season. In 24 games when the opposition has had its leading scorer play in the game, the Wildcats have held him under his season average 16 times, including 13 of the last 17.
Alvin Abreu has netted 17 points in the second half three times this season, Nov. 29 at Marist, Dec. 13 at Long Island and Feb. 10 at UMBC. The sophomore guard picks up his scoring in the second half as he has averaged 4.9 points in the opening frame and 8.1 points in the second half. Abreu has scored in double digits in the first half just twice this season, while he has netted at least 10 points in the second stanza 10 times, including a 19-point performance against Santa Clara on Jan. 4.
Tyrece Gibbs is locking in down the stretch for the Wildcats and playing like a senior captain should. Gibbs is averaging 17.2 points per game during his six-game double-digit scoring streak.
Tyrece Gibbs, who set a career high with seven straight double-digit scoring games from Feb. 20, 2008-Nov. 29, 2008, has now scored in double figures in 26 of his last 31 games dating back to last season, including 22 of 27 this season. Gibbs has his eye on setting a new mark again as he currently has scored in double digits in six straight games.
Tyrece Gibbs is currently tied with Boston University's John Holland for most 3-pointers made in the conference this season at 75.
Tyrece Gibbs scored 20 points versus Albany on Feb. 26 to bring his career total to 1,272 points and move past Dan Nolan (1,258) for sixth place on UNH's all-time scoring list. Next up for Gibbs: Scott Drapeau, who sits in fifth with 1,290 points.
Tyrece Gibbs has done it all during his time in a UNH jersey, filling the stat line night in and night out. The effort paid off as Gibbs is just the second Wildcat in history to amass at least 1,000 points, 400 rebounds, 200 assists, 80 steals and 45 blocks. With 1,272 points, 483 rebounds, 240 assists, 87 steals and 57 blocks, Gibbs joins Eric Montanari (92-95), who totaled 1,038 points, 418 rebounds, 217 assists, 93 steals and 47 blocks, on the exclusive list.

Tyrece Gibbs is penciling his name in all over UNH's record books. Last season, Gibbs drained 83 3-pointers, which is the second most in a single UNH season and just four off the record. Gibbs also registered the third most 3-point attempts (204) in a season and played the third most minutes (1,038) in a season. This year, Gibbs is fourth on UNH's single-season 3-pointers made list with 75. The guard is currently first all-time in games played (114), second in 3-pointers made (221), second in 3-point attempts (559), third in blocks (57), third in minutes played (3,594), sixth in 3-point field goal percentage (.395), seventh in field goals attempted (1,076) and ninth in field goals (.443). Gibbs, who became the 26th Wildcat to score 1,000 points in a career Dec. 13 at Long Island, is also close to moving into the top 10 in assists.
Dane DiLiegro, who is currently second in the conference in offensive rebounds per game (2.9) and fifth in rebounding overall (7.0 rpg), is averaging 5.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, better than his numbers of 4.5 points and 6.0 boards per contest at this point last season. After posting one double-digit scoring game and six double-digit rebounding games in 29 contests last year, the center has notched six double-digit scoring games and six double-digit rebounding games in just 27 tilts this season. DiLiegro has improved his efficiency as well, shooting 55.1percent from the field, which is currently good for seventh best in a single season at UNH, as compared to his mark of 46.7 percent last year.
Dane DiLiegro had a career night against Maine on Feb. 19 when he netted 21 points and pulled down 12 rebounds. DiLiegro continued his special night after the game when he appeared as the No. 7 play on ESPN SportCenter's Top Ten Plays.
The Wildcats erased a 10-point deficit with 9:14 to play to record a 63-54 win against Maine on Feb. 19. It is the fourth time UNH has had to overcome a deficit of nine or more points to notch a victory. The 'Cats used stifling defense that held Maine without a bucket for 8:11 to craft an 18-0 run that led them to the win.
Dane DiLiegro notched his fifth career double-double and fourth of the season versus Maine on Feb. 19 when he set a career high with 21 points and ripped down 12 boards. DiLiegro recorded 10 points and 11 rebounds against Hofstra on Dec. 27 for his first double-double of the season, posted 12 points and 12 boards at Maine on Jan. 19 for his second and temporarily set a new career high with 16 points to go along with 12 rebounds at UMBC on Feb. 10
Dane DiLiegro scored a career-high 21 points on 10 of 14 shooting against Maine on Feb. 19, making him the first Wildcat to record 10 baskets in a game since Blagoj Janev was a perfect 11-for-11 from the field en route to 31 points against Vermont on Jan. 9, 2007.
In the last two America East television games the Wildcats have competed in, Dane DiLiegro has played like someone who doesn't mind the limelight. DiLiegro set a career high with 16 points and pulled down 10 rebounds Feb. 10 at UMBC in a game aired on Comcast SportsNet. A little more than a week later on NESN, DiLiegro erased that mark with 21 points and 12 boards versus Maine on Feb. 19
Alvin Abreu recorded six steals against Maine on Feb. 19, tying the most swipes in a game in America East this season. Binghamton's D.J. Rivera also tallied six thefts against Vermont on Jan. 8.
When the Wildcats posted a 78-59 win against Albany on Feb. 15, the 19-point margin of defeat was the largest in the history of SEFCU Arena, which opened for the 1992-93 season. In addition, after recording a 30-29 rebounding edge in the game, the Wildcats became the first America East team to outrebound the Great Danes this season.
The Wildcats' 78-59 win against Albany on Feb. 15 was their second win of the season against an above-.500 team, as well as the first wire-to-wire win of the year over a Division I opponent as they led from the start. The 'Cats shot 57 percent (25-44) from the floor and 60 percent (12-20) from behind the arc – both season highs – to pick up their third road win in the last four tries. They also held Albany to 40 percent (19-48) shooting from the field, including nine percent (1-11) from 3 – UNH's best mark of the season.
With their 78-59 win against Albany on Feb. 15, the Wildcats recorded their 10th victory of the year and surpassed their win total from all of last season. That gives the 'Cats three 10-win seasons in four years under head coach Bill Herrion, marking just the fourth time in school history that has happened. The last time UNH attained the feat was from 1982-83 to 1985-86 when the program put together three double-digit win seasons in four years under legendary UNH head coach Gerry Friel.
UNH Athletic Director Marty Scarano announced Feb. 5 that head coach Bill Herrion has been signed to a new five-year contract.
"We have great confidence in Bill Herrion and what he is accomplishing at UNH," Scarano said. "Bill, his staff and the student-athletes are building a strong foundation for future success. We knew that this building process was a long-term proposition, and I see daily tangible evidence that our program is advancing. We are fortunate to have Bill leading this program. He knows what it takes and is dogged in his pursuit to make our program competitive."
Herrion added, "I just want to thank UNH, particularly President Huddleston and Marty Scarano, for their support of our men's basketball program. We have worked extremely hard to build this program, and with this commitment we will continue to pursue our goal of winning the America East championship."
Tyrece Gibbs moved up a trio of all-time program lists against Boston University on Feb. 7. Gibbs scored a game-high 20 points to bring his career total to 1,189 points and move past Matt Acres (1,169), Jim Rich (1,180) and Greg Steele (1,187) for 10th place on UNH's all-time scoring list. In the final minutes of the opening half, the co-captain sank his 198th career 3-pointer, which moved him past Tommy MacDonald (197) and into second place on UNH's all-time 3-point field goals made list. Gibbs also recorded the 51st block of his career, moving him into a fourth-place tie with Joe Rainis on the program's all-time list.
After being away from the team Dec. 6-Jan. 17, Eric Gilchrese played in his first game Jan. 28 at Stony Brook and looked like he had not missed a beat. Gilchrese led the 'Cats to a 71-60 come-from-behind win with 22 points on 6 of 10 shooting, including 5 of 7 from behind the arc.
When the Wildcats overcame a nine-point halftime deficit to defeat Stony Brook, 71-60, Jan. 28, it was again there defense that came up big. The 'Cats held the Seawolves to just four field goals and 18 percent shooting (4-22) in the second half, including just one basket and 11 percent shooting (1-9) in the final 10 minutes of the game.
Trailing 34-25 against Stony Brook at the half Jan. 28, the Wildcats exploded out of the locker room, tying the game with a 13-4 run that was part of a larger 27-8 run, which led the 'Cats to a 71-60 win. The Wildcats scored more points in the first 8:29 of the second half (26) than they did in the entire first half (25).
Tyrece Gibbs recorded his second career double-double when he netted 10 points and matched his career high with 10 rebounds at Vermont on Jan. 25. Gibbs' previous double-double came in an overtime contest against Harvard on Nov. 29, 2006 at Lundholm Gymnasium when he tallied the same 10 and 10.
Binghamton's D.J. Rivera, who came into the Jan. 22 matchup against UNH ranked 23rd in the country in scoring at 20.6 points per game, only managed to score six points versus the Wildcats. It was the first time in 19 games that Rivera had been held to single digits, with 11 being his previous season low in points.
In his Jan. 18 "Bracketology" column on ESPN.com where he predicts the NCAA tournament bracket and updates it weeky, Joe Lunardi picked the Wildcats to win the America East and play the MEAC's Florida A&M in the opening-round game. If the Wildcats were to win that game, Lunardi has them advancing to play No. 1 Pitt, where head coach Bill Herrion's brother, Tom, is the associate head coach.
After beating Dartmouth, 68-59, Jan. 17 to close out their non-conference slate at 5-7, the Wildcats finish with their best non-conference record since the 2003-04 season when they had an identical 5-7 record.
After their 65-47 win against UMBC at Lundholm Gymnasium on Jan. 14, the Wildcats improved to 5-2 at home this season, marking the best home start for UNH since it began the 1997-98 season 6-1 in Durham.
With their 65-47 victory against UMBC on Jan. 14, the Wildcats are now 2-1 in America East play for the first time since the 1994-95 season when they recorded two wins against Hofstra before losing to Delaware. The last time the 'Cats started a conference slate 3-1 was during the 1991-92 campaign.
After beating UMBC, 65-47, Jan. 14, the Wildcats, who last season knocked off defending champion Albany, 75-66, have now recorded a victory over the reigning conference champions in back-to-back seasons for the first time since the 1992-93 and 1993-94 campaigns when they notched wins over Delaware.
Brian Benson provided a surge of energy off the bench during UNH's 11-2 to start the second half in its 65-47 win versus UMBC on Jan. 14. Benson threw down a monstrous two-handed slam off a feed from sophomore forward Rony Tchatchoua at 18:22, and just moments later came up with a huge rejection of Darryl Proctor that kept the team feeding off the noisy Lundholm crowd's liveliness.
When UNH defeated UMBC, 65-47, Jan. 14, it was once again the defense that came up big down the stretch for the Wildcats. After a Darryl Proctor layup with 9:11 left in the second half, the 'Cats held UMBC scoreless during a 6-0 run that spanned the next 5:54. UNH, which has the second best scoring defense in the conference and 75th best in the country at 63.4 papg, is 6-2 when holding its opponents to 60 points or less and 1-8 when allowing 61 or more.
After its 55-47 win against Hartford at Lundholm Gym on Jan. 7, the Wildcats have now won five straight at home against the Hawks, dating back to the 2004-05 season.
UNH's 55-47 win versus Hartford in its conference opener Jan. 7, paired with its 75-66 win at home against Albany in last season's conference opener, gives the Wildcats victories in league openers in back-to-back years for the first time since the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons.
Dane DiLiegro tore down a career-high 17 rebounds, including 10 in the first half, in UNH's 55-47 win against Hartford on Jan. 7. DiLiegro, who tallied more offensive rebounds (8) than Hartford's entire team (5), led the Wildcats to a 44-29 rebound advantage. The 17 boards are also a season-high in America East this season, beating out Stony Brook's Tommy Brenton, who had 15 against Maryland Eastern Shore on Nov. 14. The rebound total is the most anyone in the conference has recorded since Vermont's Marqus Blakely had 29 at UNC-Wilmington on Feb. 23, 2008, and most in a conference game since Blakely had 20 against Hartford on Feb. 20, 2008.
UNH's defense continues to get better each game and that did not change against Hartford on Jan. 7. Trailing 17-15 with 5:45 to play in the first half, the Wildcats were sparked by a Tyrece Gibbs 3-pointer from the left wing that put them back out in front, 18-17, and sent them on an 8-2 run that would give the 'Cats a 23-19 lead at the half. UNH carried over its momentum from the first half as it opened the second frame with an 8-0 run that made the score 31-19 at 15:14. Hartford did not record its first point of the second half until a Michael Turner free throw at 13:42 and had its first bucket of the second stanza come on a Jaret von Rosenberg layup at 11:57. Going back into the first half, the Wildcats held the Hawks scoreless for 9:11, and without a field goal for 10:53.
In his blog on ESPN.com, Andy Katz had this to say about the Wildcats and their fourth-year leader: "Bill Herrion may have finally hit a consistent stride in his rebuilding job at New Hampshire. Like Harvard, UNH took out Santa Clara at home by four and then opened up America East play by beating Hartford at home. A trip to Boston University is next for the Wildcats. A win there for UNH might be a significant turning point for Herrion."
Alvin Abreu had a career day on the offensive end of the floor Jan. 4 against Santa Clara. Abreu propelled the Wildcats to a 58-54 victory on their home court with a career-high 28 points on 8 of 14 shooting. The sophomore guard also knocked down a career-best seven 3-pointers and was perfect from deep on the day, setting a school record for most treys in a game without a miss. Abreu also netted his 500th career point and finished the day with 513. For his efforts, Abreu was named America East Co-Player of the Week the following day. The award is the first for Abreu, who was a three-time America East Rookie of the Week last season, as well as an All-Rookie Team member.
In their 58-54 win against Santa Clara on Jan. 4, the Wildcats shut down Bronco big man John Bryant. Bryant, who has received numerous looks from NBA scouts this season, came into the game averaging 18.7 points and 12.6 rebounds per contest, while owning 10 double-doubles, including a pair of 20-20 games. The Wildcats' post defense, led by center Dane DiLiegro, held the senior to just seven points – his lowest total of the year – and eight rebounds.
UNH's win against Santa Clara – arguably its biggest non-conference victory in nearly 15 years – was the program's first ever against a West Coast Conference team. The Wildcats had previously lost to St. Mary's (Dec. 22, 1988) and Gonzaga (Dec. 27, 1993).
Tyrece Gibbs became the 26th Wildcat in program history to score 1,000 points in a career when he knocked down a 3-pointer with 28 seconds left in the game against Long Island on Dec. 13. This marks the third straight season the Wildcats have seen one of their players reach the 1,000-point plateau. Blagoj Janev, who is currently fourth on UNH's all-time scoring list with 1,340 points, recorded his 1,000th during the 2006-07 season, while Mike Christensen, 17th with 1,087 points, tallied his 1,000th last season.
UNH held the lead against Penn State for the greatest length of time of any of the Nittany Lions' first four opponents of the season. The Wildcats led for 12:25 in their game with PSU, which won all four games. UNH's America East-foe Hartford held the advantage for just 1:18, NJIT led for 26 seconds and William & Mary never led in their contest.
In their 101-50 win versus Suffolk on Nov. 16, the Wildcats won their second straight home-opener by scoring 100 points for the first time since a 106-103 win at Maine in four overtimes Jan. 19, 1996. The last time UNH compiled at least 100 points in regulation was Nov. 27, 1994 in a 104-97 win at Hofstra. The most recent time a Lundholm crowd witnessed a 100-point game from the Wildcats was in a 113-111 overtime win against Delaware on Feb. 26, 1995. The last time the Wildcats scored 100 points in regulation at Lundholm? You would have to go back to Dec. 29, 1983 in a 102-82 win over Fairfield. The 51-point margin of victory is also the largest for the 'Cats since the 1941-42 season – and possibly ever. Records prior to that season are incomplete. UNH set the previous mark last season in a 95-46 win versus Suffolk.
The Wildcats won their first season-opener since the 2004-05 season when they beat Suffolk, 101-50, to open up the 2008-09 campaign Nov. 16. It was UNH's second straight home-opening win.
Head coach Bill Herrion is not afraid to take on some of the toughest competition in the country. Since his arrival in Durham prior to the 2005-06 season, the Wildcats have taken on Big East foes UConn, Providence and Rutgers, as well as ACC power Boston College on two occassions. This season, UNH continues down that road with matchups against Big Ten member Penn State and Atlantic 10 foes Rhode Island and Fordham. The Wildcats also faced URI last season when the A10 was ranked the seventh-best conference in the nation; the Big Ten was sixth.
Brian Benson was on the court as a sophomore at Greece-Athena High School when team manager Jason "J-Mac" McElwain, who was diagnosed with autism at an early age, knocked down six 3-pointers in their division title game versus Spencerport on Feb. 16, 2006. The story quickly made national headlines, while McElwain turned into a celebrity overnight. McElwain met President Bush and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, and also appeared on various talk shows, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, and Today. McElwain even won an ESPY Award for the Best Moment in Sports in 2006.
In September, Dane DiLiegro was named one of 12 members of the United States men's basketball team that will compete at the 18th Maccabiah Games in Israel from July 12-23, 2009. The announcement was made by the head coach of the U.S. men's basketball Maccabiah team, Bruce Pearl, who is also the men's basketball head coach at the University of Tennessee.
The Maccabiah Games, also referred to as the "Jewish Olympics," are held in Israel every four years and include the top Jewish athletes from around the world. The 17th games in 2005 attracted the largest Maccabiah attendance in history. With over 50 countries represented by 7,700 athletes, including 900 from the U.S., the Maccabiah Games became the third largest sporting event in the world. This year, the U.S. is looking to take over 1,000 athletes, including Olympic athletes such as swimmers Dara Torres and Jason Lezak.
DiLiegro becomes the sixth UNH athlete to participate in the Maccabiah Games, including the first basketball player.
DiLiegro joins Duke's Jon Scheyer and Arizona State's Derek Glasser on the team, which won gold in 2001 and bronze at the previous Games in 2005. By making the U.S. squad, DiLiegro joins some elite company, including Dolph Schayes, one of the 50 Greatest NBA players of all-time, Hall of Fame basketball coach Larry Brown, and Mark Spitz, who won a then-record seven gold medals at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, an achievement surpassed only when Michael Phelps won his eighth gold medal of the 2008 Olympics.

Chievo (probable): Squizzi; Malago, Rickler Del Mare, Mantovani, Lanna; Sammarco, Italiano, Brighi; Pellissier, Bogdani, Semioli
Difficult match between the two teams at the Stadio Artemio Franchi today.
My bet is that Fiorentina will win and it could be by the same result as last season.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
BETHESDA, Md., May 10, 2013 The Walter Reed National Military Medical Center here has hosted celebrities, heads of state, sports stars, and today royalty, as Britain's Prince Harry paid a visit to encourage wounded warriors and learn about the cutting-edge treatments being used to care for them.
The prince, who visited Arlington National Cemetery earlier today, arrived at the bustling Bethesda hospital in his British Army camouflage uniform to hear about the technologies being used to treat wounded warriors, particularly amputees.
A British Army captain who has deployed twice to Afghanistan, Harry mingled easily among the wounded warriors in the hospital here, talking with several individually to ask about their injuries, their treatment and their prognosis for leaving the hospital and moving on with their lives.
Visiting the computer-aided rehabilitative environment lab, Harry cheered on Army Spc. Corey Garmon during his first session on a large, round contraption that looks like a cross between a treadmill and carnival tilt-a-roll.
The prince leaned on a bar surrounding the device as Garmon, who lost both legs to an improved-explosive-device blast in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in July 2012, walked along a rolling stone path through a forest -- all virtual and projected onto a giant screen in the darkened room.
"We've got nothing like this back in the U.K.," he told Garmon, who received his prostheses in November.
But Navy Rear Adm. Alton L. Stocks, the Walter Reed commander who accompanied Harry throughout his visit, said much of the discussion focused on ways the American and British militaries share medical expertise and how they might collaborate closer in treating wounded warriors.
In fact, one of the devices the staff demonstrated to Harry, -- a mechanical hand -- is manufactured in the United Kingdom, Stocks noted.
"He was very interested in our technology and how we can work together in the future," the admiral said. "But the thing he was the most interested in was meeting with the warriors and the families. He has deployed himself, so he feels that bond, and that was obvious."
Harry visited the hospital's Military Advanced Training Center, where dozens of wounded warriors were undergoing their rehabilitative regimens under the watchful eyes of their caregivers.
The prince walked through the room, shook hands with the patients, posed for photos when asked to, and spoke with them quietly, individually, about their wounds and recovery. He laughed with them, occasionally grimaced when they described their injuries, and became, as one soldier said, "just like one of the guys."
Army Staff Sgt. Tim Payne, a 30-year-old 10th Mountain Division soldier who lost both legs during a dismounted patrol in Kandahar in Afghanistan in July 2011, praised the treatment he is receiving.
"The care they have given us here is fantastic," Payne said he told the prince. "You really can't beat it, anywhere."
An avid swimmer who does much of his rehabilitation in Walter Reed's pool, Payne said he also told Harry he hopes one day to swim the English Channel.
"He said I'm crazy," Payne laughed. "But overall, he seems like a really nice guy and I think it's really nice that he took the time to come visit us."
Special Operator 2 Bo Reichenbach, a Navy SEAL who was medically retired after losing both legs above the knee to an IED in Afghanistan's Oruzgan province in July 2012, said he was impressed that the prince was so interested in hearing his story.
"He seemed like the kind of guy who would really like to spend more time talking with us," Reichenbach said of the prince. "He was really interested in being here with us and talking about our health care. And we told him that we all want to be here, because for us, this is the best place."
Back the darkened computer-aided rehabilitative environment lab, Harry watched as Garmon negotiated his platform as it sped up, slowed down and occasionally tilted to simulate rolling hills. To add to the challenge, Garmon was instructed to use his arms to bat away sinister-looking virtual birds that headed toward him from the screen.
"One hundred, huh?" Harry challenged him, giving the thumbs up as Dr. Chuck Scoville, head of the department of rehabilitation, explained the lab's function and the scoring system used to measure patient progress.
Harry laughed and yelled out a few "heys" as Garmon swatted at the "birds," then congratulated him for tallying a 72-percent hit rate during the session.
Garmon told Harry he's receiving "awesome" care at Walter Reed that helps him heal both physically and mentally.
"Once you leave here, you are good to go," he told the prince.
Stocks said he wishes more people could have the chance to experience what Prince Harry saw today at Walter Reed.
What makes it so special, he said, are the medical caregivers who connect with families from the day they arrive until the day they leave, the families who stand by their loved ones and the wounded warriors themselves.
"The people here are amazing," Stocks said.
"I believe it would be a wonderful opportunity for everyone in America to spend a day or two on this campus," he said, "and see the spirit of these families and the spirit of these warriors" and their determination to move forward in their lives, whether in the military or as full members of society.
"It is truly amazing, and not one that I have spoken to has any regrets," Stocks said. "They are so proud to have served their country."

The anodized aluminum shell feels very well built and is remarkably light. So much so that our first instinct was to ask whether the battery was inside or this was just a hollow mockup. We'd compare it to the feeling of picking up the Zune HD for the first time, it's a strikingly light device. Plopping it into our pocket also felt extremely natural, which might be attributable to the particular curvature of the N8's sides. Attention to detail in the physical design, as Marko said, was of paramount importance to Nokia. That doesn't come without sacrifices, however, with the user replaceable battery being substituted by an integrated cell, but to quote the man himself, the "overall design concept overruled" such considerations. We found the home button on the front a bit of a pain to press in, but it's still very early to form conclusions about the experience on this device. For now, just go gawk at it below and look out for the in-depth writeup of our chat with Marko Ahtisaari later today.%Gallery-92733%

Blood Orange infused salt
Help! Some time ago (years?) someone had posted 'how to' instructions for creating blood orange infused salt. The salt may itself have been part of another recipe, I can't remember. I've been combing through SE for a while now and can't find it. Do any of you remember seeing this? Or maybe even have a link?

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA — Cue the music at Zorba's Restaurant on Saturday nights.
Every week 3 or 4 belly dancers do their thing for generally delighted customers.
Some patrons get a little squirmy.
You try to get a dollar bill into a dancer's tight waistband that's shaking all over the place.
It's not easy, especially when a lot of other restaurant patrons are looking on.
But people are good sports.
The dancing is more impressive than erotic.
For dancer Tsevi Amar (her performing name), it's just another night out with the girls.
"It's very nice to be with friends," she says later, "And great to be dancing with friends."
Belly dancing is a style that shakes right on back to the days of sheiks and harems.
But the first belly dancers didn't dance for the sheiks.
They danced for each other.
Other modern dancers like Aini Amar (also her dance name) say that's still kind of what they do now.
She says, "When you go to belly dance shows you'll notice that the women in the audience tend to enjoy the show more than the men do."
Aini and Tsevi are part of Aalim Najim, Oklahoma's only professional belly dance troupe.
Another member, Jahari Amar, has been belly dancing since high school when her mom dragged her in to try it with her.
All of the women in the troupe argue that having a little extra fat around the hips actually helps.
"Well yeah," smiles Aini. "Women are supposed to have a few curves."
Aalim Najim has made a name for themselves of late, winning a big contest in Dallas last year.
In February, 2014 we found them practicing for the biggest of belly dancing titles.
Right after Valentines Day every year, The Belly Dancer of the Universe contest is held on Long Beach, California.
A title there would really put the jiggle in the middle of the country for belly dance prestige.
The troupe practices twice a week, 2 or 3 hours at a time.
It's good practice, they say.
Good fellowship too, and if they can actually win Belly Dancer of the Universe, the world will beat a path to their tent.
Aalim Najim practices out of a studio on North Meridian in Oklahoma City.

10 Keys To Making Accurate Judgments; Use Measurements & Simple
Shapes for Better Portraits; Learn Variations of Impressionist
Painting; 4 Stages Of Successful Plein Air Paintings

Cedric Egeli: Knowing How to Learn
Workshops as Shared Learning Experiencesby M. Stephen DohertyA number of valuable and lasting benefits can accrue when artists work alongside one another and engage in a free exchange of information, motivation, and inspiration. Even if the artists barely know one another, they are likely to share a feeling of camaraderie. That kind of a palpable energy was present when 10 professional artists gathered in New Jersey at the invitation of Workshop and Forbes, Inc.
Joseph Paquet: 10 Keys to Effectively Judging the Important Relationships in Paintingby M. Stephen DohertyThis Minnesota plein air painter helps students grasp the most important concepts about oil painting and shows them how to apply these concepts successfully.
Variations on Impressionist Painting by M. Stephen DohertyStudents and faculty members at the Bridgeview School of Fine Art, in Queens, New York, recently spent eight days painting the same model to demonstrate a range of approaches to oil painting based on Impressionism.
Aaron Westerberg: Creating a Monochromatic Figure Studyby Matthew MarchantIn a recent California workshop, Aaron Westerberg showed students how to apply their drawing skills to creating oil paintings by developing a monochromatic grisaille using one warm and one cool red and handling a brush as if it were a drawing tool.
Camie Davis: Portrait Painting Based on Measurement and the Perception of Shapesby M. Stephen DohertyDuring eight four-hour sessions of drawing and painting models who held the same pose, students in Camie Davis' classes learned to express themselves using carefully planned procedures.
Cedric Egeli: Knowing How to Learnby M. Stephen DohertyIn two recent workshops, this distinguished artist emphasized that developing the ability to actively listen, observe, study, and practice the fundamental aspects of painting is important to making progress as an artist.
Brian Stewart: 4 Stages of Successful Plein Air Paintingsby M. Stephen DohertyDuring a recent workshop in Barbados, Brian Stewart explained how to achieve greater success with outdoor paintings by following a progression from a "dress-rehearsal" study to a finished work of art.
Alexey Steele: Pursuing Passion and a Personal Visionby Michael ZakianAlexey Steele is not the type of teacher who imposes strict guidelines or rules on his students. Rather, he offers an encouraging educational environment for artists to discover their own personal vision while he demonstrates his own passionate pursuit of the great artistic and cultural ideals of the past.

Corbin again finds a way, ties D-backs record
JUN 02, 2013 5:36p ET
"He gets it, he knows how hard this is," Gibson said in the visiting manager's office at Wrigley Field. "It's going to get tougher and tougher, so he's got to continue to improve, and he's driven to do that."
Sure enough, things got tougher for Corbin in his start against the Cubs, but he still found a way to keep the D-backs in it and remain undefeated, improving to 9-0 on the year with the team's 8-4 victory.
There wasn't anything dazzling about the performance, which allowed Corbin to move into a tie with former Cy Young winner Brandon Webb for the best start to a season in franchise history, but it was effective.
"He pitched good for us, gave us a chance to win," Gibson said. "Patrick did his job, and the bullpen came in and shut them down."
Right away it looked like Corbin might be in trouble. He hit the second batter of the game, Starlin Castro, and walked the next. After getting another out, he hit another batter and again walked the next, pushing a run across. But Corbin didn't allow a hit in the inning and escaped with the damage limited to a run.
Even throwing 32 pitches in the first inning, Corbin lasted six, as he has in each of his 11 starts this season. The D-backs are 11-0 in those games.
Corbin didn't have his best stuff in his last start either, and maybe less so on Sunday. But he said felt like he found himself well enough after the first inning, although, his catcher offered a different assessment.
"The whole game, he didn't have good stuff," backup catcher Wil Nieves said. "His slider wasn't there, his fastball was cutting. He kept us in the game. He didn't feel good at all, but he battled and gave us an opportunity to win the game."
On the other side, Cubs second baseman Darwin Barney seemed to think Corbin had something going Sunday.
"He's got good stuff," Barney said. "You look over his scouting report, and a lot of time his breaking stuff leaves the zone. One thing that's made him so effective is that everything comes out of the same slot; everything looks the same out of the hand. That's tough to do."
It's a testament to Corbin's demeanor that a long, frustrating first inning didn't derail him. Keeping his pitch count low each inning, he ended the day with a season-high four earned runs allowed on six hits to go along with five strikeouts.
"I think I was just rushing with my delivery a little bit, cutting off most of my fastballs, and I wasn't locating too well," Corbin said. "That was basically it. "
After giving up a double to Alfonso Soriano in the fifth inning, Corbin gave up a home run to Scott Hairston to tie the score at 4-all. Again, Corbin kept his composure and got four more outs to limit the bullpen's workload to three innings.
As much as Corbin did to keep the game close Sunday, he had just as much help from the D-backs offense, which tallied 13 hits, only one of which was for extra bases.
"The offense, they score eight runs a game, we should win every time," Corbin said. "That just makes it a lot easier."
Without the offensive backing, Corbin might finally have a loss on his record. Instead, he's in impressive company in the D-backs' record books and leads the majors in wins while ranking fourth with a 2.06 ERA.
Corbin's run could end his next time out, and he knows as much, but for one more day Sunday he was unbeatable, even if he didn't look it.

The Applebutter Express is a Drunken Family Comedy
It only takes one voice to start a movement,
and a mob usually gets its way—
It was along these lines I was thinking Saturday night when I started chanting "One More Song! One More Song!" at the end of The Applebutter Express's set at McCabe's Irish Pub. The last song the band had played was very good, and it was important they play more because I'd just arrived and decided to write this story.
The Applebutter Express [ABX] is hot right now. The Tampa-based ukulele driven / Man&Wife-fronted Americana quartet has a new album coming out September 30, and on that album [titled "One For The Home Team] is a song that will be included in the upcoming Ron Howard film The Good Lie, starring Reese Witherspoon, which will hit theaters October 3.
The band is also embarking on a cool Southeast tour next month. They played Purple Hatters Ball in May, Bonnaroo in 2012, and now, looking up this page, I realize ABX has been steadily hot for a few years, but they have a lot of big things coming up this fall and it wasn't until I saw Matt DeSear through the front window at McCabe's, thumping and plucking and slapping his big standup bass, rocking and bopping and smiling, that I remembered all this and that they were playing here tonight and also that The Applebutter Express would make for a fine feature, which I'd been meaning to write for some time.
The band's popularity has been growing consistently since its formation. They deliver upbeat, extremely catchy tongue-in-cheek songs full of good-natured Southern revelry, with titles like "Hot Pussy"( originally recorded by David Allen Coe, is actually about a kitty-cat ...) and "Handguns And Hammocks" —And when The Applebutter Express plays "Hot Pussy" live, the grown-ups laugh but the kids don't understand, like a good joke in a Family Comedy. In fact, The Applebutter Express is like a drunken family comedy.
"One thing they have, that not every talented band can claim, is their fun-loving and crowd engaging performance style," says Wade Hamilton of Realize Bradenton, who brought his wife to McCabe's for the show Saturday night. Hamilton has booked The Applebutter Express for several Realize Bradenton events. "They seem to make the crowd feel their enjoyment of playing music," he says, "and more importantly, playing together. They have great on stage chemistry."
And they draw a big crowd—
Indeed, the place was packed. I saw Sean McInerny, bassist for A Gentlemen Army, at the end of the bar with two women. He digs The Applebutter Express. "They're always a lot of fun," says McInerny. "They get a crowd moving better than anyone else around here."— And this seemed true: The dance floor was breathing. It was difficult to get in and make it to the bar for a drink. I managed to push through and bought a tall can of Pabst for $2.50. Then I struggled to find a good vantage point to watch the band. In a packed bar a man sometimes needs to forgo his preferences in order to remain courteous. As a rock journalist, I find this is rarely possible:
I swung through the dancefloor of dancing people and moved chairs and people as necessary, dancing my own weird tango through the mob, extending my arms christlike and making myself thin, weaving in-and-out and spinning 360s and I'd spilled a lot of Pabst before I finally found a good place to watch. The band was good as ever, but then it was over. And so I started shouting—
"One More Song! One More Song!"
And the band's Tip-Jar Girl joined in almost immediately. She chanted loud with purpose—"One More Song! One More Song!"—the big tip-jar held up high over her head, she made her way through the crowd beckoning brazenly but there wasn't anything Catholic about this donation, though it was probably religious. We were in it together, the Tip-Jar Girl and me. We needed more. And of course it was possible that she hadn't heard my chanting, and'd started her own independently, but I don't think so.
Either way, in no time our demand was reinforced by a rowdy chorus, from the shoulder-to-shoulder dancefloor dancing people. They too, it seemed, needed more Applebutter Express.
Still up front by the stage, these people never bothered to unwind; and really, they never had a chance—they went from clapping and dancing and stomping along, stamping the floor with folky funky rhythm, jumping and stomping and stamping along and singing the lyrics to The Applebutter Express's original number, and then there was just enough time to light a smoke before they all got behind the Push for One More Song—
One More Song!
One More Song!
One More Song!
Chocolate Salty Balls!

For days now, thousands of tobacco farmers have held protests in Jakarta over the government's plan to issue a regulation later this month on tobacco control measures.
While the farmers have argued that the regulation will hurt their livelihoods, health advocates have called for the draft to be issued as soon as possible because of the importance of tackling smoking and its attendant health impacts.
As the various stakeholders debate the regulation, comprised of 65 articles in eight chapters, we take a glance at the contents.
The first chapter contains general definitions and a description of the aims of the regulation, which it says is meant to mitigate the impact of tobacco on the health of individuals, families, society and the environment.
The second chapter says the regulation concerns cigarette products made from both natural and synthetic tobacco.
That is followed by a chapter detailing the government's responsibilities at the central and regional levels regarding the use of tobacco and its threat to human health.
According to this, the government would arrange for the supervision of the use of addictive substances in the form of tobacco products. It would encourage research and development in the industry to make the substances safe, and it would promote the diversification of tobacco products.
Chapter four, the longest chapter, concerns how efforts to supervise tobacco products would be implemented. It identifies key issues regarding the production and import of tobacco products, their distribution, protections for children and pregnant women, and no-smoking zones.
It also requires cigarette producers to conduct nicotine and tar content tests on each type of cigarette they produce.
An exemption is made for modes of tobacco consumption used in traditional societies, including klobot , in which the tobacco is wrapped in corn leaves; klembak menyan , in which the tobacco is infused with incense; and sliced tobacco.
Producers are also prohibited from using additives that have not been scientifically proven to have no adverse health impact.
Article 14 of the chapter also requires importers and producers of cigarettes to include health warnings in the form of pictures and text on cigarette packs.
Article 22 requires packs to contain information on the nicotine and tar content, along with a warning that selling or giving cigarettes to anyone under the age of 18 or to pregnant women is prohibited.
The packs must also carry production codes and dates along with the name and address of producers.
Article 25 prohibits the sale of tobacco products through automated vending machines to minors and pregnant women.
Articles 26 to 31 cover restrictions on tobacco advertising in print, broadcast, online and outdoor media such as billboards.
Under the restrictions, audio ads such as radio commercials for cigarettes must devote 10 percent of their time to verbal warnings.
Audio-visual ads such as television commercials must devote 10 percent of their time to written warnings and, where applicable, a pictorial warning. Still-image ads must devote 10 percent of their area for a warning.
Article 28 also stipulates specific prohibitions for cigarette ads in print media. One of them is that these ads may never be published on the front or back cover of a print publication or near ads for food and drink products.
Restrictions on outdoor media advertising include a prohibition on tobacco ads being displayed in smoke-free zones or along main roads.
The regulation also prohibits the free distribution of cigarettes, as well as discount sales and presents in the form of cigarettes.
Events sponsored by tobacco companies are also barred from carrying the producers' logo or the logs of cigarette brands.
Article 39 of the chapter prohibits the distribution or broadcast of pictures or photographs of people smoking, cigarettes, cigarette smoke, cigarette packs or anything related to tobacco products.
It also bans the broadcast of any information on tobacco products in print, broadcast and online media if it is linked to either a commercial activity or efforts to encourage people to smoke.
Article 46 prohibits adults from ordering or telling those under the age of 18 to sell, buy or consume tobacco products.
The chapter also prescribes arrangements on mandatory smoke-free zones in health facilities, educational premises, playgrounds, places of worship, public transportation, workplaces and other public places.
Public transportation hubs and workplaces are specifically obliged to provide designated places for smokers. They must be open areas with direct outdoor venting.
Chapter five of the regulation defines the public's role in the tobacco control campaign and the supervision and reporting of violations.
The sixth chapter details how government officials will enforce smoke-free zones, stop first-time smokers and counsel existing smokers to help them quit.
It says these efforts must be conducted in cooperation with international organizations.
Chapter seven deals with the transition period for the tobacco industry to comply with the provisions in the regulation.
The final chapter defines when the provisions will go into effect.

Q: Can my creditors garnish my Social Security benefits?
A: It depends on whom you owe money to. Generally speaking, banks and credit card companies can't touch your Social Security benefits. But when you owe money to the federal government — especially for unpaid taxes and student loan debt — a portion of your Social Security benefits can be taken. The feds also can tap into your benefits to enforce court orders for child support and alimony.

Q: If I receive workers' compensation for a job-related injury, will those payments affect my Social Security disability benefits?
A: Perhaps. The answer depends on your individual situation. The bottom line generally is that your Social Security disability will be reduced if your benefits from workers' comp, Social Security disability and other programs total more than 80 percent of your average earnings in years before you became disabled. It's a complicated calculation that Social Security will compute.
A fuller explanation can be found in the fact sheet: "How Workers' Compensation And Other Disability Payments May Affect Your Benefits" (pdf).

Sanitary napkins are disclosed which include at least one flap having a portion that may be expanded longitudinally for permitting the flap to expand when folded over a side of an undergarment. This enables the flap to fold outwardly to the back of the undergarment and conform to the contour along the curved line of the crotch. Thus, an improved sanitary product is provided that provides side-protection along the entire longitudinal edges of the napkin.
1. A sanitary napkin comprising
(a) an absorbent element having longitudinally extending sides, transverse ends, a body-facing side and an undergarment facing side;
(b) stretchable, longitudinally resilient flaps extending outwardly along said longitudinally extending sides, said flaps expanding longitudinally when folded over a side of a crotch portion of an undergarment.
2. The sanitary napkin of claim 1 wherein said flaps are disposed substantially along the entire longitudinally extending sides of said napkin.
3. The sanitary napkin of claim 2 wherein said flaps comprise outwardly extending concave sides.
4. The sanitary napkin of claim 3 wherein said flaps are expandable to 110% to 200% of their original length.
5. The sanitary napkin of claim 3 wherein said flaps are expandable to 130% to 175% of their original length.
6. The sanitary napkin of claim 3 wherein said flaps are expandable to about 150% of their original length.
7. A sanitary napkin comprising:
(a) an absorbent element having longitudinally extending sides, transverse ends, a body-facing side, and an undergarment facing side; and
(b) flaps extending laterally from and substantially along the entire length of each of said longitudinal sides of said absorbent element, said flaps having longitudinally expandable portions therein, whereby said flaps can be expanded to fold over a crotch portion of an undergarment to provide sanitary protection substantially along said entire length of each of said longitudinal sides.
This application is related to co-pending application filed concurrently in the name of Pramod Mavinkurve, Ser. No. 160,966 filed Feb. 26, 1988, now allowed entitled "Sanitary Napkin Having an Elasticized Component", which is assigned to the assignee of this application and which is hereby incorporated by reference.
This invention relates to protective, absorbent liners for undergarments and more particularly, to providing more leak resistance for sanitary napkins having folding side panels or wings.
Many of today's sanitary napkins are equipped with "side-protecting" flaps, or wings, that extend laterally from the longitudinal sides of a central absorbent. See Mattingly, U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,047, McNair, U.S. Pat. No. 4,285,343 and Van Tilburg, U.S. Pat. No. 4,589,876. These napkins typically function by having their users bend the lateral flaps downward along straight parallel hinge lines. Unfortunately, however, the crotch portion of most undergarments is concavely contoured to conform to the legs of the wearer. Thus, in order to accommodate a comfortable fit, only a portion of the side of the napkin has side protection. Accordingly, a need exists for a sanitary napkin that offers sanitary protection substantially along the entire longitudinal length of the napkin without substantially deforming the undergarment.
A sanitary napkin and method for applying a sanitary napkin are provided by this invention. The napkin includes flaps made of a stretchable, flexible material. These flaps can be, but are not necessarily limited to, extensions of the cover and backing of the absorbent element, and are also referred herein as "flap portions" of the napkin. The flaps and/or flap portions are designed to fold smoothly over the exterior of the panty and then to expand to conform with the contour of the undergarment. Adequate expandability can be achieved if the material used to effect this feature can elongate at least 110%, preferably about 150% of its prestretched length.
Thusly, the design flaw of the prior art, that only the center portion of the napkin offers the side protection of wings, can be overcome. This invention further provides for the contouring of the flaps of a sanitary napkin along the curved line of the crotch. If the flaps of a prior art napkin were extended from the transverse ends at the top end and the bottom of the central absorbent, the flap would be too wide at the center portion of the crotch resulting in "bunching" of the panty and attendant discomfort. The flaps of this invention, on the other hand, are expandable and can readily adapt to the contour of the panty without bunching. Additionally, the longitudinally extending sides of the absorbent element, which can comprise extensions of the impervious and pervious surfaces of the absorbent element, can be concavely configured and extended laterally to more appropriately conform to the contour of the panty crotch.
Accordingly, the long felt need of providing sanitary protection substantially along the entire longitudinal edges of sanitary napkins is provided. The flaps of this invention can be made expandable by using an elastic type element, by slitting an extension of the cover or barrier, or both, or by using an accordion or pleated flap material.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a sanitary napkin that more completely follows the contour of the undergarment it is attached to.
It is another object of this invention to provide a method of attaching a sanitary napkin so as to provide substantially complete lateral protection without bunching of the undergarment.
It is still another object of this invention to provide a sanitary napkin which can be folded smoothly around the crotch portion of a panty in comfortable fashion.
With these and other objects in view, which will become apparent to one skilled in the art as the description proceeds, this invention resides in the novel construction, combination, arrangement of parts and methods substantially as hereinafter described and more particularly defined in the attached claims.
The accompanying drawings illustrate a complete embodiment of the invention according to the best mode for the best practical application of the principles thereof, and in which:
FIG. 1: is a planar view of the body-facing side of a sanitary napkin embodiment of this invention illustrating flexible flap portions extending along the longitudinal sides of the napkin;
FIG. 2: is a perspective view of the application of the sanitary napkin embodiment of FIG. 1, illustrating how the flexible flap portions are folded around the crotch portion of the undergarment.
FIG. 3: is a planar view of the body-facing side of another sanitary napkin embodiment of this invention illustrating elastic stretch elements disposed within the flexible flap portions;
FIG. 4: is a perspective view illustrating the application of the sanitary napkin embodiment of FIG. 3 and further illustrating how the elastic elements are stretched;
FIG. 5: is a planar view of the body-facing side of another sanitary napkin embodiment of this invention illustrating flexible flap portions containing slits for enabling these portions to expand; and
FIG. 6: is a perspective view of the application of the sanitary napkin of FIG. 5 illustrating how the flexible flap portions, including their slits, can be expanded to fold around the outer crotch portion of an undergarment.
With reference to the drawings, and particularly FIGS. 1 and 2 thereof, there is shown a preferred sanitary napkin 100 having an absorbent element 20 having longitudinally extending sides, transverse ends, a body-facing side and an undergarment facing side. The flaps of this embodiment 10 to extend laterally from each of the longitudinal sides of the absorbent element and at least one of these flaps comprises a longitudinally extending resilient portion for permitting this flap to expand longitudinally when folded over a side of a crotch portion of an undergarment 25.
As described by the embodiments of FIGS. 1, 3, 5, both of the flaps of the napkins of this invention can comprise longitudinally resilient flap portions 10, 30, and 50, which are ideally disposed substantially along the entire longitudinal sides of the napkins 100, 200, and 300. As illustrated, the flaps and/or resilient portions thereof 10, 30, 50 can comprise concave configured portions of the outwardly extending sides of the napkins 100, 200, and 300.
In order to accomplish the preferred "fit" of this invention, the flaps of these napkins 100, 200, and 300, preferably comprise stretchable material, including but not limited to elastic, perforated thermoplastic and pleated materials. If a thermoplastic material is selected for the flexible flap portion, it can comprise an extended portion of the body-facing side or undergarment-facing side of the absorbent element 20, 40, or 60. In each of the selected embodiments, the flaps should be expandable to about 110% to 200%, preferably about 130% to 175%, and most preferably to about 150% of their original or unstretched length. As used herein the "length" of the flaps refers to a flap measurement taken substantially parallel with the longitudinal sides of the absorbent element 20, 40, or 60.
Referring now to FIGS. 2, 4 and 6, the napkins 110, 200 of this invention can be novelly applied to the undergarment 25 by disposing their undergarment facing side onto the undergarment 25, and then folding the flaps over the sides of the crotch portion of the undergarment 25. In the preferred methods of this invention, the flaps are folded to substantially protect the entire longitudinal sides of the absorbent elements 20, 40 and 60.
In the preferred constructions, the absorbent elements 20, 40 and 60 can contain conventional resilient material for enabling the napkins 100, 200, and 300 to bend easily without excessive distortion. Such materials include compacted cellulosic fibers and hydrocolloidal material such as those described by Kopolow, U.S. Pat. No. 4,551,142, which is herein incorporated by reference. The preferred absorbent elements 20, 40, and 60 can be approximately -12 inches long, preferably about 8-11 inches. They generally comprise a core, which preferably is made of loosely associated absorbent hydrophilic materials such as cellulose fibers, wood pulp, regenerated cellulose or cotton fibers, and/or other materials generally known in the art. The absorbent element 20, 40 or 60 may be either rectangular or shaped.
As is customary in the art, covering the body-facing side of these napkins 100, 200 and 300 are body-fluid pervious surfaces. These body fluid pervious surfaces can be made of a resilient, relatively non-absorbing fluid pervious material. This material is provided for comfort and conformability and directs fluid to an underlying layer, for example wood pulp, which retains such fluid. These surfaces may be woven, or non-woven material pervious to body fluid. Furthermore, they should retain little or no fluid in their structure to provide a relatively dry surface next to the skin. Generally, the fluid permeable surfaces are a single, rectangular sheet of material having a width sufficient to cover the body- facing side of the absorbent elements 20, 40 and 60. Preferably, the fluid pervious surfaces are longer than the core so as to form end tabs, which may be sealed with other pervious or non-pervious layers to fully enclose the cores. The fluid pervious surfaces are preferably made of fibers or filaments of thermoplastic polymers such as polyethylene or polypropylene or apertured polymeric film.
Underlying the core of the absorbent elements 20, 40, and 60 can be another layer of absorbent material to provide additional resiliency to the product. This layer can extend beyond the longitudinal sides of the absorbent core to entrap any body fluid which escapes from the sides of the absorbent elements 20, 40 and 60. This layer may also be substantially wider than the core of the absorbent elements 20, 40 and 60 and may extend into the flaps. The absorbent layer may comprise a thin, absorbent layer of material such as tissue, fabric, or the like, made of cellulosic fibers. Because such material is provided as a safety measure and is only required to contain escaped fluid, it need not be very absorbent at all, and, in fact, may be comprised of any capillary or cellular system including hydrophobic material. However, the preferred material is a hydrophilic fabric comprised of cellulosic fibers such as wood pulp tissue or other suitable hydrophilic woven or non-woven material. The preferred tissue has the advantage of providing resiliency and conformability to the product.
The sanitary napkins 100, 200, and 300 of this invention further can include body-fluid impervious surfaces on their undergarment-facing sides. The impervious surfaces will preferably allow the passage of air and moisture vapor while blocking the passage of fluid to the outer surface. The impervious surfaces may be heat sealed or fastened by way of adhesives to a core or to a core wrapped in a pervious surface cover. The impervious surfaces may comprise any thin, flexible, body fluid impermeable material such as, a polymeric film, for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, cellophane or even a normally fluid pervious material that has been treated to be impervious, such as impregnated fluid repellent paper or non-woven fabric material. In the most preferred embodiments of this invention, the impervious surfaces include a plastic film of polyethylene or a bi-component film such as an EVA/PE coextruded film.
The preferred expandable flaps 20, 30, and 50 of this invention should be made of a stretchable, flexible material. The stretchability can be obtained by an elastic-type element 32, such as that described in FIG. 3. Similarly the requisite stretchability may be obtained by providing slits or perforations, as described in FIGS. 5 and 6, in an extension of the cover and/or barrier of the absorbent element 60. Alternatively, this flexibility can be incorporated into the napkins by using a polymeric foam, i.e. polyurethane foam, or an accordion-pleated flap material, such as that described in FIGS. 1 and 2. The percent elongation required depends upon the width of the flaps employed, and generally the flexible flaps 10. 30 and 50 should accommodate an elongation of about 110-200, preferably about 125-175%, and most preferably about 150% of their original length.
Although preferably not including absorbent pulp materials, the flaps 10, 30, and 50 of this invention can also include a body fluid impervious backing such as the materials described in connection with the above-mentioned body-fluid impervious surfaces. It is also expected that the flaps 10, 30 and 50 can comprise body fluid Pervious covers, much like the above-mentioned body-fluid pervious layers, and absorbent tissues disposed between their covers and their backings. In addition, it is preferred that the flaps 10, 30, and 50 of this invention contain absorbent tissue with sufficient capillary action to retain small quantities of escaped liquid. This tissue can be heat sealed or adhesively sealed around the edges of the flaps 10, 30, and 50 with the preferred impervious backings and body fluid pervious covers of the flaps 10, 30, and 50 to form absorbent areas.
