NEVER MIND THAT THEIR EVER-GROWING list of clients includes celebs Heather Locklear, Drew Barrymore and Tyra Banks. For Evgenia Gvozdetsky and Elena Nazaroff, the New York City design team known as Ev & El, the excitement of spotting someone—anyone—in their clothes has yet to wear off. "We always go up to them and say, 'Oh my God! You look sooo good!' " says Nazaroff, 27. Adds Gvozdetsky, 25: "We ask them, 'Can you put your arms up? How does it feel?' We want to do more and more and more for them."
Not that customer satisfaction is a problem. Since going into business in 1994, the two Russian immigrants have been a hit among the young and hip thanks to clothes that, while simple in design (prices range from $150 to $1,500), don't scrimp on sex appeal. Just ask Barrymore, who purchased two of Ev & El's bouclé
jackets at their Soho boutique, or Mariah Carey, who in May sang at the White House in their black sheath. "Women should always look beautiful," insists Nazaroff. "Before, we were fighting to be equal to men. Now that we are, we don't have to look like them too." Adds costume designer Denise Wingate, who brought Ev & El to Melrose Place at Locklear's suggestion: "They have a way with cuts that makes the clothes look extremely flattering on practically anyone who wears them."
Growing up in Moscow, the two friends dreamed of finding success. "We always said she would be the big model, I would be the huge designer," laughs Nazaroff, the only child of Victor, a professor, and Irina, a knitwear designer. But with their country then under Communist rule, glamor was, like everything else, in short supply. "To go to the store meant waiting in line for two hours," recalls Gvozdetsky, the daughter of Anatoly, a scientist, and Lydia, who worked in the bureaucracy doling out apartment space.
By high school, the two vowed to make it to America. For Nazaroff, that meant defection. In 1989, at 19, she renounced her Soviet citizenship while traveling in Finland with her new husband, a film director. "It was a big decision," she says. "But I knew I had to do it." The couple settled first in Sweden—where daughter Jacqueline, now 7, was born—and then in Germany before arriving in the U.S. in 1991. Settling in Los Angeles to study design, Nazaroff enrolled at the American College for Applied Arts. "I wanted to know everything," she says. "I spent most of my time in the library."
Meanwhile, Gvozdetsky had also arrived—albeit under easier circumstances. In 1989 she was granted one of the first visas issued under perestroika and moved to Manhattan, where she worked as a model. Despite her success she was restless. "I wanted to use my imagination, my mind," she says. In 1994, after the recently divorced Nazaroff moved to New York City from L.A., the pair launched Ev & El. "We didn't know anything," says Nazaroff. "A lot of people said, 'You'll never survive.' " But backed by a $250,000 loan from a friend, they staged their first show. After their second, a year ago, Nordstrom began buying from their line—as did the celebs.
Now living in a two-bedroom triplex in Manhattan, Gvozdetsky is single (after a brief marriage to a stockbroker), but not alone. In April her half sister Alexandra, 4, moved in after their mother agreed she should be raised in the U.S. "I wanted her to have the best," says Gvozdetsky. And while Nazaroff, who is dating designer Mario Moya, lives farther uptown in a two-bedroom apartment with Jacqueline, the friends are in constant collaboration. "She will call me at 4 a.m. and say, 'I have an idea,' " says Nazaroff. Adds Gvozdetsky: "Fashion's not just our work—it's our hobby." But it's not just the creative impulse that drives them. "When women like the way they look, they feel great," Nazaroff says. "For us, it's the best feeling in the world to make them happy."

Puako Petroglyphs, HI
Hike to etchings in lava
The Hike
The Big Island's Kohala Coast is where black lava collides with blue ocean, and where hikers can walk vestiges of the ancient Malama Trail, which once circled the island. The still-intact 3 miles wind through a 233-acre park where early Polynesians etched more than 3,000 images of dancers, paddlers, and fishermen into volcanic rock. The slanting morning sunlight makes them easier to see, but their exact purpose remains unclear. Cover up to ward off prickly kiawe trees, and tread carefully around the 1-inch piko holes in the lava, where parents buried their newborns' umbilical cords to guarantee their long lives. Don't miss a broad, sloping red rock emblazoned with several-foot-high warriors; they may commemorate a great historical battle.
The Find
Snorkel with the sea turtles near Hapuna Beach's coral reefs, then sleep in a rustic A-frame ($20) near shore. (808) 974-6200
The Way
From Kona Airport, go north on HI-19, turn left on Mauna Lani Drive and park at Holoholokai Beach. The Mauna Lani Resort has maps. (www.maunalani)

These ones took us a little bit longer to make as there is a little bit more work involved in it. The taste however is fully worth it in the end. We really had a great weekend making all of these.
These are......well they're.........hm, whats the word? AWESOME!!! If I had any less self control I would have eaten them ALL at once. I could eat these for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I do not see a time when I will not want to eat these. Now I just need to find a place to get bamboo leaves! THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE!!!!! UPDATE: I made these with a Japanese twist. I did not mix the chicken/mushroom mixture into the flavored cooked rice, instead I "stuffed" the bundles. I sealed the cooled chicken/mushroom mixture in the rice, sort of like a dumpling. This variation was really good too, with a Japanese flair! No matter what way I make them, no one can get enough! Thanks again Bergy, I love you (and your recipes)!

By Lisa Soileaux
RAYNE - The No. 9-ranked Rayne High Lady Wolves began post-season Thursday evening with a bang, collected a 74-51 win over Franklin Parish of Winnsboro during the first round of the 2014 state basketball playoffs.
Leading the way for the Lady Wolves during their Class 4A bi-district win was junior guard Charlesha Dugas, who dumped in a game-high 32 points, 23 of those coming in the second half of play when Rayne pulled away for the win.
"We have been relying on her (Dugas) for a lot of our scoring," stated Rayne Coach Chester Randall of the win. "But tonight, everyone pitched in."
In addition to Dugas' 32 points, 4 rebounds and 7 steals, teammate Cierra Harmon was also tough in the lane scoring 13 points while collecting 9 rebounds, five of which were on offense for points.
Tori Carriere and Whitley Larry both hit double digits with 10 each on the night. In addition, Carriere recorded 7 rebounds and a steal, while Larry held her own with 9 rebounds, 5 steals and 7 blocks before leaving the game with leg cramps.
Tanner Wilson finished with four points and 7 steals, and Tristan Mouton had a trey and 4 steals.
"The way we scored tonight is the way we need to score to win," continued Randall on the Thursday's win. "When we all score as a team, while hitting our layups and free throws, that's the key to winning."
The Lady Wolves held a slim 26-20 lead for the halftime break before hitting their stride with a 24-point third quarter behind a productive man-to-man defense including a stingy press. Both teams finished up with a 24-point final quarter with Rayne maintaining a distant lead for the win.
The No. 24-ranked Lady Patriots were led by Teneshia Pleasant with 13 points. They entered the playoffs at 5-3 in District 2-4A.
Rayne will travel to A.J. Ellender on Monday when they will travel to Houma for a 6:30 p.m. regional round contest.
"Sure, we have goals," concluded Randall as he and his Lady Wolves eye the playoffs, "But, we are taking one game at time and do what we need to do to get the win."

What we do
Queen short-haired bumblebee on clover
Image: Nikki Gammans
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, is one of 27 bumblebee species native to the UK.
It was once widespread across the south of England, occurring as far north as Humberside, but from the 1960s onwards its population distribution became isolated and patchy.
Its decline was almost certainly the result of the loss of the species-rich grassland habitats on which it depends. It was last recorded near our Dungeness nature reserve in 1988 and declared extinct in 2000.
A population of UK origin survives in New Zealand, where they were introduced in 1895 to pollinate red clover.
The project is working with farmers, conservation groups, small holders and other land owners to create flower-rich habitat within the release area of Dungeness and Romney Marsh.
Our Dungeness reserve is contributing to this through the creation of 4 ha of flower-rich bumblebee habitat from the restoration of arable fields.
The Swedish Threatened Species Unit (ArtDatabanken) has advised that the status of the short-haired bumblebee in Sweden has improved and is no longer red-listed. Southern Sweden was chosen as the source of the bees, following advice from local bee recorders that the population in southern Sweden was strong, and given the similarity in climate between southern Sweden and the UK.
With permission from the Swedish Board of Agriculture (Jordbruksverket), an initial visit to Sweden was made in May 2011 to find suitable locations to collect queen bees. Working with the local bumblebee recorder, suitable areas of habitat were visited and bees collected for disease screening.
Natural England has undertaken a full Disease Risk Assessment and Disease Management Plan in order to meet IUCN guidelines on species reintroductions.
This involves a protocol to be followed for reducing the risk of disease transmission. FERA has approved the import of the bees into the UK and the Natural England licencing unit has granted a license to release them.
It is only necessary to reintroduce queen bees in the spring as they will have mated prior to hibernation, so will be fertile and able to establish nests after gathering enough pollen and nectar.
Worker bees develop from the first eggs and they forage for the queen. She then lays more eggs that develop into males and new queens. Only the new queens go into hibernation to establish the next generation of bumblebees; the old queens, workers and males all die.
In spring 2012, with continuing permissions and the co-operation of bee experts in Sweden, 89 queen bees, freshly emerged from hibernation, were collected from two areas of Skane in southern Sweden where good numbers of short-haired bumblebees were found in 2011. The bees were collected from two 30m long transects which were 40 kilometres apart.
Only a few queens were taken from each location along the transects to make sure there was a minimal impact on the population at any one locality. They were checked for mites and American foulbrood disease by a registered vet and honeybee inspector in Sweden prior to the issuing of a heath certificate to allow their transportation to the UK. After two weeks in quarantine at Royal Holloway, University of London, 51 of the heathiest bees were released at RSPB's Dungeness nature reserve on 28 May 2012.
Teams of volunteers and RSPB staff carried out surveys along transects to look for the bees and record other species using the flower-rich habitats on the reserve and in the surrounding farmland. Unfortunately, the following weeks were some of the wettest on record and despite intensive searching they were only sighted in the week after they were released. It is still possible that some survived but have not been seen, as they can disperse over a wide area.
In spring 2013 this was repeated with 49 queens released at Dungeness on 3 June. With improved weather they had a better chance of surviving, and we know that at least two queens successfully nested as seven worker bees of two colour forms were seen during July.
After two more releases in 2014 and 2015 there were further successes, with the number of workers seen at any one time on RSPB reserves increasing in 2015.
It is hoped that the bees are completing their life-cycle by producing new queens and males but so far none have been sighted. Given the bees' ability to fly over long distances, they may be very thinly spread over a wide area of countryside.
Further releases are planned for 2016 to build up a genetically diverse population.
To date the project has had enormous success with bumblebee habitat creation prior to the reintroduction of the short-haired bumblebee.
The project has created, advised and assisted in the management of over 850 hectares of flower rich habitat within the release area of Dungeness and Romney Marsh. The RSPB's Dungeness nature reserve is contributing to this through the creation of 4 ha of flower-rich bumblebee habitat from the restoration of arable fields.
The success of the habitat creation is being assessed through survey transects to record bumblebee species and numbers seen. Excitingly, the first worker bees were seen in the summer of 2013, providing proof that queens had successfully nested and produced young. Worker bees were then seen in each of the following two years, with three seen together on the RSPB's Dungeness reserve in July 2015.
In addition, five of the UK's most threatened species of bumblebee have been recorded on the transects. England's rarest bumblebee, the shrill carder bee, has returned to the Dungeness area after a 25-year absence and the large garden bumblebee has come back after ten years. Watch our film.
The project has played a large part in raising awareness of bumblebee declines through events and publicity.

Fisherman's Wharf Cioppino
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 50 mins
This is a recipe adapted from one at Catalina Offshore Products, purveyors of fresh seafood. I've prepared this with great results. It reminds me of dinners at Alioto's Restaurant in San Francisco at Fisherman's Wharf, where in 1938 Rose Alioto created an Italian seafood stew called Cioppino, now a San Francisco culinary legend. In addition to or in lieu of the ingredients listed, you can add clams, mussels or lobster.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup chopped golden onion
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dry oregano
- 1⁄3 cup olive oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 28 ounces whole tomatoes (1 can)
- pepper (should be spicy)
- 1 cup dry red wine, good quality
- 2 lbs combined seafood (a combination of white fish, peeled shrimp,sea scallops and crab claws)
- In a large deep pot, cook onion, parsley and garlic in the olive oil for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes (mash them into pieces with your hands), wine, tomato paste and seasonings.
- Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add seafood and simmer for another 20 minutes. You can use a little more seafood, especially if you're adding crab claws.
- Serve in heated bowls with crusty French bread and green salad. Top with fresh shredded parmesan cheese, chopped parsley or cilantro and lemon, if desired.

If I could give this 10 stars, I would!!! This recipe is absolutely fantastic. TOTALLY easy to make, one dish meal, and sooooooo heavenly!!! Thank you, Greg, for sharing! I made only one small change: I used a 1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley and a 1/2 cup of chopped fresh basil. I love fresh basil, and it's readily available, so why not?
Yesterday, I ate cioppino out at a very fancy seafood restaurant in Houston's Galleria mall. That meal was what inspired me to try making it for myself. I just have to say, this tasted even better than that $25 bowl at the restaurant! It was SOOO good, I had seconds, and sopped up every last drop of the sauce with yummy toasted sourdough bread.
This recipe WILL be my xmas eve meal for my family. I really can't say enough great things about it!!!!! =)
I prepared this a while back and it was so good that I'm serving it again this year for Christmas Eve. I found some frozen crab claws at the market recently so I'm going to add them this time. Thank you!
If my husband tells me after one bite that this is the best I have ever made, then I know it's a winner. I kept to the recipe but wanted it to make more so I used up 2 cups of leftover vegetable juice and used the whole can of tomato paste. Cooked the vegs in less than 1/4 c olive oil. No fresh parsley so added Italian seasoning and Old Bay. Added 2 c of steamed diced red potatoes at the end with 1 lb. tilapia, 1 lb. shrimp and 1 lb. crawfish meat. Can't wait to add the crab next time. I have finally found the recipe like the one I had in St. Augustine Florida. When you live in Texas, you crave seafood. Thank you, thank you!

US Stocks End Higher
(NEW YORK) -- An upbeat report on U.S. manufacturing Thursday pushed the markets up.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 92 points at 16,133.23.
The Nasdaq Composite climbed 26 points to 4,267.55.
The S&P 500 closed at 1,839.78, adding 11 points.
We're seeing a lot of things with "Made in America" labels. A private survey finds manufacturing in the U.S. expanded in January at the fastest pace in almost four years. The MarkitFlash Index rose to 56.7. Numbers above 50 indicate the sector is growing.
Hewlett Packard released its first quarter earnings just after the close, showing figures that beat expectations.
Meanwhile, Walmart forth quarter profits fell 21 percent compared to a year ago, the company reported. The world's largest retailer says bad weather has been keeping shoppers away.
And the economy is still playing the cost of the massive security breach at Target during the holiday shopping season. The cost to financial institutions of replacing all the credit and debit cards that were compromised has exceeded $200 million, according to data released by the Consumer Bankers Association and the Credit Union National Association. That's before you factor in the loss from any fraudulent charges.

His Meanie Role in Amadeus Makes Nice Guy F. Murray Abraham the Man to Beat for the Oscar
Enter his apartment at your own risk. A mammoth poodle named Wolfie (after Wolfgang Mozart) thinks you're a burglar. The Amadeus sound track plays on the stereo. While Murray, dressed in a jogging suit, runs out to pick up the laundry, his wife, Kate, 44, makes tea. She's a Quaker, with no showbiz ambitions. "You couldn't drag me onto a stage," she says. Surprisingly it was Murray, a volatile actor with a menacing persona, who introduced his wife to the pacifist Quaker religion. "I had been attending meetings for over a year before she said she'd better look into it," he says. "I'm still trying to find my way. I won't become a Quaker until I can really commit myself. I still have trouble with my temper." They have two children, a girl, 14, and a boy, 12. Murray will not divulge their names. "I don't want my work to impose on their lives," he says. "It's a delicate thing, this family." Most of their social acquaintances are Quakers, and they are not impressed with Murray's newfound fame.
Obviously Forman took a gamble casting Abraham and Tom Hulce, who won a Best Actor Oscar nomination for playing Mozart. "Milos never told me why he chose me, and I never asked," Abraham says. "I never, ever, thought I had a chance of getting the part. I was as cool as I was because I've had too many disappointments before." Kate recalls that Murray "never talked about that audition." Yet surely the champagne corks must have flown when it appeared Forman was interested? Not so, says Kate. "When it came down to whether or not it was going to happen, I was in the hospital trying to live. I had to have a radical hysterectomy due to a faulty Dalkon Shield. So at the time, Murray's getting the part didn't seem all that important. In retrospect I guess it made the anticipation easier."
Just discussing that tense period makes Abraham antsy. He can't sit still. He puts on a record. Takes it off. He talks about his youth in El Paso. He was named after his father (Fahrid means "the one and only"), a retired mechanic who came to America from Syria at the age of 5. Murray's mother, Josephine, is Italian. "Kate and I are the only children now," Abraham says sadly. His brothers were killed in separate automobile accidents as was Kate's brother. "I really can't tell you any more than that," he says. "I start to cry."
He began acting in high school, winning a drama scholarship to the University of Texas at El Paso. After two years there he left to pursue his career in Los Angeles, which is where he met Kate Hannan, a college student whom he married in 1962. In 1965 they moved to New York, where he parked cars and played Santa Claus at Macy's while auditioning for plays, eventually landing roles on Broadway (The Ritz) and off (Sexual Perversity in Chicago).
The work made him happy but not rich. "The hardest thing about being married to an actor has been the financial insecurity," says Kate, who worked as a secretary to support her husband's career before their kids were born. By the mid-'70s Murray had steady employment and a good income as an actor doing commercials and voice-overs. But in 1978 he decided to give them up. "No one was taking my acting seriously," he says. "I figured if I didn't do it, then I'd have no right to the dreams I've always had." Kate went back to work, as assistant to the head of the Brooklyn Friends School. "I've never minded working," she says, "because Murray always knew he was going to be the best." Between auditions, Murray explains, he became "a house husband. What a thing that was for me to go through! I cooked and cleaned and took care of the kids. It was very rough on my macho idea of life. But it was the best thing that ever happened to me. With my Mediterranean background and a Mexican heritage from growing up on the border, I had very specific ideas about what a man was supposed to be. Homemaking fixed that up. Now in this house, everybody helps."
It's a beautiful day and Abraham is dying to get outside. He suggests a walk through the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Keeping up with him is not easy. He points out trees and birds and statues and shouts, "Hey, paisano!" to a passing gardener. "He helped me chase a mugger," Abraham says. Sitting down in a white gazebo near a frozen pond, Murray says that "life is easier now. I was very intense, but it hasn't been that way in a long time." Amadeus' success brought perks: He did a worldwide publicity tour, and he and Kate met Prince Charles and Princess Diana ("a delightful couple"). But so far the Oscar nomination hasn't brought work, at least not the kind of work he wants. "They always think of me as the heavy," he says. There is talk of a film with Lina Wertmuller, but Abraham hasn't faced a camera since Amadeus wrapped in July 1983. "I want to work," says Murray. "An actor needs to." So he does. Two weeks before the Oscar ceremonies the odds-on favorite for Best Actor is doing children's theater for free around the city—and "loving it." And don't expect a change if he wins the big prize. There'll be more offers, sure, and more money. But Murray lacks the showbiz hustle of his more ambitious colleagues. If Oscar comes, Murray's decided to send it to his mother in Texas "for the mantel." The thought makes him smile. After all, why should his neighbors know he's a star?

Tauranga will be a more diverse city in 10 years with a changing demographic meaning fewer New Zealand Europeans and more Maori, Asian and Pacific Island residents.
Latest projections from Statistics New Zealand estimate Tauranga's population at June last year at 128,000. Of those, Europeans made up 78 per cent, Maori 15.7 per cent, Asian 3.8 per cent and Pacific Island 2 per cent.
Projections for June 2021 are for a population of 151,200 - an increase of 17.9 per cent.
The proportion of New Zealand European residents is expected to drop slightly to 76 per cent, while the Maori population increases to 16.6 per cent, Asian 4.89 per cent and Pacific 2.4 per cent.<inline type="recurring-inline" id="1003" align="outside" enforce-sites="no" />
Tauranga will have proportionally more European residents than New Zealand as a whole, about the average number of Maori, and fewer Pacific and Asian residents.
New Zealand in 2021 is projected to be made up of 71 per cent New Zealand European, 16 per cent Maori, 14 per cent Asian and 9 per cent Pacific Island residents.
Tauranga MP Simon Bridges said more ethnic diversity was "inevitable" and would make the city a more interesting place to live.
"I think Tauranga on the whole is a very tolerant and welcoming city, but we need to all try harder to be open to different cultures and embrace people from all sorts of different cultural backgrounds."
While the city was noticeably less diverse than other parts of New Zealand like Auckland and Wellington, Mr Bridges said there were strong Korean, Indian and Pacific communities in Tauranga.
"We are changing rapidly."
Tauranga Mayor Stuart Crosby has seen evidence of the changing demographics of Tauranga, particularly the growth of the Asian community at the city's citizenship ceremonies.
"What it does is it brings in a fantastic mix when you bring new cultures into Tauranga."
Maori and Pacific Island growth had been predicted through SmartGrowth demographic work, Mr Crosby said.
Tauranga Chamber of Commerce chief executive Max Mason said the changes in demographics were "too small to really make a difference", but the increased population would have an impact on Tauranga.
"What's critical is the quality of these new people in terms of education, ambition and productive capability.
"If we can attract a few thousand energetic tall poppies over the next decade, their businesses will transform our local business scene into a more diversified, higher wage local economy, characterised by entrepreneurial, fast growth ventures taking our products and services to the world."
This could mean higher average family incomes, better quality of life and better jobs.
Ewa Fenn, president of Tauranga Regional Multicultural Society, said the Psa crisis was currently driving immigrants away from the Western Bay, but she believed this was a short-term issue only.
"In Tauranga, the main business for people moving here was the kiwifruit industry.
"In Te Puke, there's a bigger percentage of population of Asians, Indians, Bangladeshi, Nepalese and Pacific Islanders, because the work is there.
"I know a lot of people who are moving from Tauranga to Auckland and quite a few from Auckland to Australia."
But Mrs Fenn believed the Psa crisis would be resolved and the Western Bay's strong migrant base would attract more immigrants.
Tauranga was welcoming and tolerant to migrants "on the surface", she said.
The city could be "hostile" when large groups of certain cultures arrived but tolerance seemed to build up quickly.
"A Muslim friend of mine had some unpleasant comments and attitudes of people when she first arrived but now she is fine.
"The people from her circle, and even in the street, have got used to her, and that was only three or four years ago."
Mrs Fenn believed Tauranga on the whole was becoming more tolerant of other cultures. "It's a matter of people getting used to it.
"Now we have so many people from various nationalities in Tauranga with successful businesses and being efficient workers in the public sector, like the hospital and in the police.
"Because there's a mix, people finally get the idea that [immigrants] are not that bad actually."
Mrs Fenn said Kiwis who had travelled widely appeared to be more tolerant of other cultures.
She believed the Tauranga Multicultural Festival, now in its 13th year, had helped break down boundaries in the city.
"I hope this has in some way contributed to people accepting other cultures because they are getting to know the people, their culture, their food - that breaks the barriers."
The festival will this year be held on March 17 at the Historic Village.

Watching Preakness? Take the Points
May 15, 2009 - Neil Rudel
Fresh from his Kentucky Derby darkhorse selection of Hold Me Back, which finished 12th, my horse racing guru -- my dad, David Rudel, of course -- is a little more gunshy than he usually is after his Derby pick barely gets a call.
But at least he answered the phone Friday.
"Never mind," he said. "I'm a little disappointed in that blog you have. I had Big Brown last year, and you didn't mention that."
"Dad, you taught me never to pick the favorite, plus everybody had Big Brown."
He agreed (but I think he's sensitive to the fact that his reputation is now almost strictly tied to the 2003 Funny Cide pick).
Anyway, his -- ours if it's good -- pick in the Preakness is the No. 11 horse, Take the Points.
D.Rudel likes the old jockey, Edgar Prato, at a 30-1 shot. He likes the 8-5 favorite, too (Rachel Alexandra), but he knows he can't pick that horse because he set the rules that "anybody can pick the favorite."
FYI: The winning Derby jockey, Calvin Borel, is on Alexandra.
Localizing: Bellefonte's Jeremy Rose is riding No. 6, Terrain, a 30-1 shot.
So good luck to you today -- and to my dad.
The Lakers have lost their championship look.
They have unexpectedly stumbled through the NBA playoffs and face a Game 7 in the Western Conference semifinals against Houston. Very surprising, especially given the Rockets' absence of Yao Ming.
Rick Adelman has totally outcoached Phil Jackson in this series.
What looked like the NBA's dream Finals matchup of the Lakers vs. the Cavs -- Kobe vs. LeBron -- may not even happen. If the Lakers are fortunate enough to beat Houston, which is still likely given Game 7 is at the Staples Center, they may have too many problems to get by second-seeded Denver.
How about the trade that sent Allen Iverson to Detroit for Chauncey Billups?
Cleveland is well-rested and has faced almost no resistence in two series sweeps, though the Boston-Orlando winner should win at least one vs. the Cavs and maybe two.
LA's performance is making Cleveland's first NBA title -- coming at the expense of the Lakers or Denver -- more likely. In fact, a Cleveland-Denver series would not be a slam dunk for the Cavs.

What I Wish More People Knew About Co-SleepingDevan McGuinness
As many of us (me, hopefully soon) await the birth/arrival of our babies, we contemplate many facets of parenting. We read up on how to increase our chances of breastfeeding, debate between which car seat to purchase and start to think about how tired we're going to be when tending to a newborn and all their needs.
I have talked only briefly on Babble about our decision to co-sleep, but I don't hide the fact that I am a big advocate for co-sleeping. I also recognize that what I decide for my family is not going to be what everyone decides for theirs — and I wouldn't want it any other way. I know full-well that majority of parents do what they do from what they know at the time and always with the best intentions at heart.
With all that said, I have received some interesting comments over the past few weeks that has to do with our decision to co-sleep. Comments came in that questioned our safety practices, comments that perpetuated a lot of widespread myths and some people even got nasty and started calling me names. It's cool, I am used to it and can take it all with a grain of salt because we did our research, we know how to co-sleep safely and we don't buy into those myths that surround it thanks to fear-mongers. For those of you who are open to co-sleeping, on the fence about it and for those of you who don't agree with it at all — here is what I wish more knew about co-sleeping:
Bed Sharing vs Room Sharing 1 of 7When people hear 'co-sleeping' they automatically assume 'bed-sharing'. Co-sleeping really means "sleeping in close proximity', so both 'bed sharing' and 'room sharing' are considered co-sleeping.

You Can Still Have a Relationship with Partner 2 of 7One myth that I have been met with a lot when I speak about co-sleeping is that I must not have any type of intimate relationship with my partner. From those I have talked to, it seems co-sleepers have no less intimacy in our relationships than parents who don't. Creativity is key and also good for a relationship.

Can Be Done Safely 3 of 7There is so much miss-information regarding the safety of co-sleeping. There is typically no difference in safety from a baby sleeping in their own nursery vs room sharing with parents. Bed sharing has guidelines to follow for safety -- big ones being not under the influence of drugs or alcohol and no heavy blankets.

It Promotes Breastfeeding 4 of 7In an article published by Evolutionary Psychology, they studied the effects co-sleeping has on breastfeeding. They found that "bed sharing infants breastfeed about twice as often as regular solidary sleepers". If you plan to breastfeed, having the babe in close proximity will strengthen the breastfeeding relationship.
Source: Evolutionary Psychology (p. 124)

Promotes Independent Children 5 of 7Contrary to this widespread belief that co-sleeping creates a very dependant relationship, the opposite is actually true. One study stating "routinely sharing the parents' bed in infancy has been associated with greater self-reliance and social independence at preschool age than a history of solitary sleeping (Keller, M. A., and Goldberg, 2004)."

May Reduce Risk of SIDS 6 of 7There is a lot of talk about how co-sleeping is dangerous and causes infant death. Most disregard the recommendation by the American Academy of Pediatrics, that sites room-sharing as a key way to reduce the risk of SIDS.

No Less Safe Than Crib Sleeping 7 of 7There have been studies after studies published that look at the 'safety of co-sleeping' and infant injury or death. While, unfortunately there have been instances of it happening due to unsafe practice, the same is true for crib sleeping. One study published by Consumer Product Safety Commission shared data of the injuries and deaths due to co-sleeping however, using the same data it showed there were more than 3 times as many injuries/deaths due to crib accidents.

In March 2010, the Jets needed a cornerback to start alongside Darrelle Revis. They had just released their other corner, Lito Sheppard. So they traded a third-round draft pick to San Diego for Antonio Cromartie, who had been a first-team All Pro during his second season in the NFL, 2007, when he had 10 interceptions.
Cromartie's four seasons with the Jets never saw him reach those heights, though he did make the Pro Bowl in 2012 and 2013, for the second and third times in his career, albeit as a questionable alternate last season.
He also helped the Jets make their second straight AFC Championship Game in 2010, and when Revis suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2012, Cromartie performed well as the Jets' No. 1 corner — a role he continued to hold in 2013 after Revis was traded to Tampa Bay.
But Sunday, almost exactly four years since the Jets traded for Cromartie, they released him — an expected cost-saving move that probably marked an unceremonious farewell for one of the Jets' most popular players of coach Rex Ryan's five-year tenure.
History will look favorably on most of Cromartie's accomplishments with the Jets. He totaled 13 interceptions, but never had more than four in any season. He struggled in 2013, partly because he strained his right hip flexor during the preseason and it nagged him for much of the year. Pro Football Focus rated him 103rd out of 110 NFL corners, and 109th in pass coverage.
Cromartie, who will be 30 years old next month, was due to receive a $5 million roster bonus this week. He was going to count $14.98 million against the Jets' salary cap in 2014 — the final year of his four-year contract. That is an absurdly high cap figure for a corner of his age, coming off a lackluster year. Now, he will count $5.48 million in "dead" money against the Jets' cap this season — a savings of $9.5 million.
The Jets currently have about $31 million in salary cap space for 2014, according to overthecap.com. That number will grow if they release quarterback Mark Sanchez and/or wide receiver Santonio Holmes. Both probably will be cut. Sanchez's departure would save $8.3 million in cap room, while Holmes' departure would save $8.25.
Cromartie wanted to retire with the Jets but expected to be cut because of his high cap figure. He could technically return for a significantly more modest contract, as outside linebacker Calvin Pace did last offseason after being cut. But there seemed to be a feeling of finality in the words he wrote on his Twitter account: "It's time for a new chapter in my life. Saying farewell to a great organization and fan base."
If Cromartie is indeed gone for good, the Jets are now in the market for a veteran No. 1 corner, since Dee Milliner does not seem ready to assume that role. He floundered last season as a rookie, though he showed improvement in December with three picks in the final two games. The Jets' No. 3 corner last season was Kyle Wilson, a first-round pick in 2010, but he has rarely appeared capable to start regularly.
The free agency negotiating window opened Saturday, and teams can begin signing free agents at 4 p.m. tomorrow. The best free agent corners are considered to be Tennessee's Alterraun Verner, New England's Aqib Talib, Indianapolis' Vontae Davis and Denver's Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, a cousin of Antonio Cromartie.
Though the Jets' defense mostly excelled last season, finishing 11th in the NFL in yards allowed, pass defense was its weak point. The Jets ranked 22nd in the league in passing yards surrendered, as opposing quarterbacks successfully picked on Cromartie with deep balls almost as often as they went after Milliner.
Gone were the days of 2010 and 2011, when Cromartie and Revis formed a formidable twosome and combined for 11 interceptions during those two seasons. With Ryan again essentially coaching for his job in 2014, despite receiving a contract extension, he probably will have to start over at a critical position that requires the type of elite athlete Cromartie once was — and hopes he can be again.
Ryan, in a statement released by the Jets, called Cromartie "one of the finest athletes I've ever coached," and said, "I wish him and his family the best."

Just south of the entrance to the canyon, huge sand dunes have been swept up by the strong winds that frequently howl across the Campo de Talampaya to the south. The higgledy-piggledy rocks at the foot of the cliffs host a gallery of white, red and black rock paintings, made by the Ciénaga and Aguada peoples who inhabited the area around a thousand years ago. The pictures include animals such as llamas, suris and pumas, a stepped pyramid, huntsmen and phallic symbols, and the nearby ink-well depressions in the rock are formed by decades of grinding and mixing pigments. There is a huge tacu, or carob tree, here, thought to be more than one thousand years old. Inside the canyon proper, the so-called jardín botánico, or more accurately the bosquecillo – thicket – is a natural grove of twenty or so different native cacti, shrubs and trees. They include algarrobos, retamos, pencas, jarillas and chañares, all labelled; occasionally grey foxes and small armadillos lurk in the undergrowth and brightly coloured songbirds flit from branch to branch. Nearby, and clearly signposted, is the Chimenea (chimney), also known as the Cueva (cave) or the Canaleta (drainpipe), a rounded vertical groove stretching all the way up the cliffside; guides revel in demonstrating its extraordinary echo, which sends condors flapping.
Wonderfully shaped formations in the park have been given imaginative names, mostly with a religious slant, but many of them do fit. El Pesebre (Crib) is a set of rocks supposed to resemble a Nativity scene, and appropriately nearby are Los Reyes Magos, the Three Kings, one of them on camel-back. A cluster of enormous needles and pinnacles is known as La Catedral – the intricate patterns chiselled and carved by thousands of years of erosion have been compared variously with Albi cathedral or the facade of Strasbourg cathedral, both built of a similar red sandstone. A set of massive rock formations is known as El Tablero de Ajedrez, or the Chessboard, complete with rooks, bishops and pawns, while a 53m-high monolith, resembling a cowled human figure is El Cura, the Priest, or El Fraile, the Monk, depending on whom you ask. El Pizarrón, or the Blackboard, is 15m of flat rock-face of darker stone etched with more suris, pumas, guanacos and even a seahorse – suggesting that the peoples who lived here a thousand years ago had some kind of contact with the ocean.

When Linda Lingle became mayor of Maui County, she took a surplus and left us with a deficit of $1 million.
In 1990, the county budget was $79.2 million, and when she left, eight years later, the budget had risen to $161.8 million.
Even though the budget doubled from 1990 to 1998, she still ended up with a million-dollar shortfall.
Her successor, Kimo Apana, had to pay the price by raising user fees at our landfills to balance the budget and it cost him re-election. Apana also left the county in better financial shape than he found it. We cannot say that of Lingle, who still believes privatizing is better, and collective bargaining has to go.
If you are a senior receiving Social Security and Medicare, a vote for Lingle would not guarantee these two programs would still be here in the years ahead, or for those 55 years old and younger.
Her past solutions threaten these two Democrat-initiated programs.

Women Who Dare: Christy Turlington Burns Takes On Maternal Mortality
This post is part of Pathfinder's "Women Who Dare" series in celebration of International Women's Day 2013. Because remarkable women around the world continue to "dare" each and every day, Pathfinder will continue to feature "Women Who Dare" beyond just International Women's Day.
Christy Turlington Burns is the founder of Every Mother Counts, a campaign dedicating to ending the hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths linked to pregnancy and childbirth that happen every year around the world. Prior to her work with Every Mother Counts, Christy directed and produced "No Woman, No Cry," a documentary about the state of maternal health for mothers worldwide. As a part of "No Woman, No Cry," Christy dared to share her personal experience with postpartum hemorrhage, a condition that claims the lives of nearly 350,000 mothers every year.
Recently, Pathfinder spoke with Christy to learn more about the progress she's seen on the sexual and reproductive health front and her advice for changing the world.
You were very candid about your personal experience with postpartum hemorrhage in your film, "No Woman, No Cry." Did you ever imagine then that you would now be such an incredible advocate for maternal health?
I knew the moment I became a mother that my life would be profoundly changed, but I was surprised by the experience I had postpartum after everything else had gone so smoothly. Even with the complication, the experience was incredibly positive and liberating on so many levels. Then, when I discovered that pregnancy often leads to death for so many women and girls around the world, I needed to know more and do all I could to help raise more awareness. The film was basically a long research project that further proved that so much more could and should be done to save these lives. Once the film was complete, I knew that I still had a role to play and now, with Every Mother Counts, I am continuing to advocate with a mission to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for all moms.
You've committed tremendous time and resources to raising awareness for improving women's health. Do you ever consider that work daring?
There is a certain amount of daring that comes with sharing intimate details of your life and putting yourself out there over and over with audiences of complete strangers, but I feel that it's healthy to share vulnerable aspects of our lives and if doing so inspires more mothers to share their stories with others and for others, I believe together we can make a difference.
In your work thus far, have you encountered any resistance or negative feedback?
Not that I am aware of. I think my passion and commitment is pretty transparent. But there is a certain amount of scrutiny because people who are known by the public know you for your other associations. I have been very open about what I know and don't know and it seems clear to most people that I take this issue very seriously and am committed to doing everything I can to keep it in the hearts and minds of anyone I come into contact with.
What changes have you seen in the last few years for women's sexual and reproductive health?
When I set out to make "No Woman, No Cry," over a half a million women were dying from complications in pregnancy and childbirth every year. Today, the numbers are closer to 300,000. This number is still way too high, but the fact is the world now is more aware of the problem and we are counting girls and women and registering births in more countries than we were doing previously. And the world is changing and our population is continuing to grow and we still aren't reaching millions of people who wish to access family planning to help them control their family size so that they can care for them. Women's reproductive health continues to be politicized, even in (the US) where women remain perilously close to losing the rights and freedoms we currently enjoy.
What inspires you to continue this work? Are there particular other daring women who motivate you?
I keep good company these days and frequently meet women who are so extraordinary that they inspire me daily. Even the most ordinary women in some places in the world are extraordinary to me given all they endure and yet continue to persevere. But women are daring in so many ways. Each and every one of us.
If you had one piece of advice for someone interested in changing the world, what would it be?
If you truly want to change the world, set an intention and the "what" and the "how" will present themselves. When you're dedicated to making a change, and you believe deeply in what it is that you care about, you will make it happen.

ultrafiltration Applications
Membrane filtration systems for cheese brine clarificationby GEA Filtration based in Hudson, WISCONSIN (USA)
Salt brine is used to cure many different varieties of cheese. Disposal of salt brine is expensive and often prohibited due to high salt content. Ultrafiltration rejects the fats and proteins that are expelled from cheese into the brine and allows continuous re-use of salt brine baths.

It was my understanding that many multi-vitamins were removing the iron portion, since levels could easily be too high.
Other than that - no clue.
Recent newspaper articles (i.e., the "You Docs" column) have highlighted a study claiming toxicity (i.e., percentage increase in mortality) from multivitamins containing, in particular, copper and iron.
There have to be a lot of opinions here, and it would be helpful to hear them. Do you take a multivitamin supplement, and, if so, what do you take, and why?
It was my understanding that many multi-vitamins were removing the iron portion, since levels could easily be too high.
Other than that - no clue.
I would rather eat and drink my vitamins and minerals than take them in a pill. Unless you are supplementing due to a particular deficiency that has been tested and actually found to exist, not just an internet site telling you that everyone is deficient, I don't see the point in supplements. Primal is the healthiest diet on earth.
gnc womens ultra mega, i don't like to eat that much food
yeah you are
lolBaby if you time travel back far enough you can avoid that work because the dust won't be there. You're too pretty to be working that hard.
I dont take synthetic vitamins. I eat blue-green algae which is high in essential nutrients. I take the view that nature knows best when it comes to quantity and vitamin mix. Almost all illness comes from humans dicking around with their food sources, so I rely on wholefoods with high nutrient levels. Job done.
Aside from the 3 supplements below, any others aren't needed, I reckon:
- Vitamin D (if you lack sun exposure or live in a location where adequate exposure isn't feasible all year)
- Magnesium (due to its depletion in modern soil)
- Omega 3 Fish Oil (if you can't afford / don't buy grass-fed meat)
Good info...thanks. I am only taking D-3 in 1000 iu daily now. And I only take that October through April.
Interesting stuff on blue-green algae...will look into that. However, I did read this, which is disconcerting:
"If you think you are experiencing symptoms related to exposure to blue-green algae (e.g., stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, fever, muscle weakness, difficulty breathing), contact your doctor or the Poison Information Hotline (800-222-1222) right away."
The above was on this site: http://dnr.wi.gov/lakes/bluegreenalgae/
Last edited by Bear; 12-26-2011 at 09:23 AM. Reason: added info
You can easily tell the quality if an algae product by its taste. If it has a strong odour and unpleasant flavour, its contaminated. Good quality algae is near tasteless.
That study was not very well done. It was a retrospective study where they just asked people if they took any supplement in the last years and then compared the people who said yes to the people who said no. The people who said no lived a tiny bit longer. Big problem with that is that many people with poor health take supplements to try to improve their quality of life -so the groups were not equal. Take iron for example. People with diagnosed iron deficient anemia were all included in the vitamin group. That means they already of some type of health issue.
I have found a few supplements really improve my quality of life - D3, magnesium, iodine and potassium. If you are eating a truly primal diet including liver, marrow, oysters, brazil nuts, kelp and chicken stock you can probably get everything except D3 and magnesium. If you are eating just muscle meat you could very well still develop deficiencies.

Visual Cognition
The Visual Cognition lab is currently engaged in a series of experiments extending its work on visual search and eye movements (Juan et al., 2008; Muggleton et al., 2008; Silvanto et al, 2008) to vision and search in real scenes. The lab uses a variety of techniques (e.g.TMS, tDCS, eye movement recording, fMRI) and collaborates with several groups within the ICN
(see Visual Cognition Group).
Examples of projects that may be considered are:
1. Eye movements in real scenes. A great deal is known, or at least is published, about the visual search abilities of humans – how one finds an person, book, food item in a visual noisy environment. The vast majority of work addresses lab-based tasks with simple displays and eye and head movements restricted. We are engaged in testing how much of this knowledge transfers to the real world and in describing eye movements and search abilities as subjects view and move through real scenes. This work involves learning how to analyze real scene components, how to collect and analyse eye movement data and how to apply lab knowledge to ecologically valid tasks.
2. Does the visual system use scene statistics? It is widely believed that the visual system somehow calculates values of the stimulus features in a scene (mean size, velocity, shape, colour etc). Our pilot data to date suggest that this is only true in impoverished visual environments and that our ability to make statistical inferences about scene properties breaks down very quickly. We are keen to explore the limits of the human visual system and projects are available on a range of psychophysical and brain stimulation projects which aim to explore the limits of visual statistical processing, the influence of scene familiarity on statistical processing and the brain areas that may be involved in making such inferences. Depending on the current stage of work, involvement in scene statistics work may include psychophysics, TMS, eye movement recording or fMRI.
3. The Visual Cognition Group has recently set up sleep recording facilities in the ICN and has begun sleep fMRI-EEG recordings in BUCNI. The goals are to provide a description of BOLD states in different stages of sleep, to examine the role of sleep in learning and consolidation and to enhance consolidation by using AC brain stimulation during sleep.

Famous Mormons in Politics Page Two
"Ronald Reagan truly admired the Latter-day Saints. His administration included more members of the Church than any other American president, ever. Three of us, David Fischer, Gregory Newell and I, served on his personal White House staff. Richard Wirthlin was his chief strategist. Ted Bell served as Secretary of Education, Angela Buchanan was Treasurer, Rex Lee was Solicitor General. His White House included Roger Porter, Brent Scowcroft, Richard Beal, Blake Parish, Jon Huntsman Jr., Dodie Borup and Rocky Kuonen, and there were many other Latter-day Saints throughout his Administration. President Thomas S. Monson served on a Presidential Commission on Volunteerism. Others were ambassadors. LDS senators and representatives were held in special regard, and the Tabernacle Choir was his special inaugural guest." -Stephen M. Studdert, Special Assistant to President Reagan

In 1953 and 1957 Cleaver was convicted for narcotics possession and assault and spent almost thirteen years in the California penitentiary system.
By the late 70s, Cleaver had experimented with a number of religious groups most notably Sun Moon's. Not surprisingly, his views of Mormonism were strongly colored (no pun intended) by the negative views of the Church within the Black Power movement. Cleaver's first "Mormon contact," interestingly, was with Carl Loeber, an activist with the Peace and Freedom party that sponsered Cleaver's presidential run who had joined the Church in 1970 as he renunciated the Black Power movement. Cleaver met with Elder Paul H. Dunn (then administrator for California) and would be later introduced by Loeber to Cleon Skousen during a Know Your Religion class in San Jose. Cleaver even traveled to Salt Lake City to meet with President Ezra Taft Benson. Cleaver was baptized in December 1983 mormonmatters.org

Orrin Hatch
US Senator
First elected to the US Senate in 1976. In 1976 in his first run for public office, he was elected to the United States Senate, defeating Democrat Frank Moss, a three-term incumbent. Among other issues, Hatch criticized Moss's 18-year tenure in the Senate, saying "What do you call a Senator who's served in office for 18 years? You call him home." Hatch argued that many Senators, including Moss, had lost touch with their constituents. Hatch won his first election by an unexpectedly wide nine-point margin. He later defeated Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson by 17 points in his reelection bid in 1982. He hasn't faced substantive opposition since, and has been reelected four times, including defeating Brian Moss, Frank Moss' son, by 35 points in 1988.

Hawkins opposed the Equal Rights Amendment and abortion-on-demand.
She refused to join the Congressional Woman's Caucus because she thought child care, pension equity and other matters were "family issues" and not just of concern to women. "I did not like the Equal Rights Amendment," she said. "I predicted that it would bring about the downfall of the father's responsibility to support the family." She died in 2009 at the age of 82 FCSW

I was doing some pondering after hearing of the latest scandal coming out of Washington: the disgraceful behavior of the head of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Some news sources are reporting that this scandal was known in late October but it only came to light after the election.
Now we are going to have hearings on this one as well as Operation Fast and Furious, the Benghazi attack, maybe the unanswered attack on our intelligence drone in international waters off Iran and now the dalliance of Gen. David Petraeus.
Washington is famous for "hearings." The trouble is nothing is heard; they are always a joke no matter who is in power.
The Petraeus affair is especially troubling since both parties are West Point graduates, which disgraces the uniform and violates the code of conduct for an officer.
Because you wear civilian clothes does not mean you get a mulligan when it comes to honor.
When a soldier loses a hand in combat, he or she doesn't get a "do-over"; the wounded soldier gets patched up and learns to tie his shoes with one hand. There are no hearings to somehow soften reality.
Hearings are held to soften the reality of what really happened and rarely does anything concrete come out of them — it's just breeze on Capitol Hill.
After the "hearings," the next step is the guy with the broom sweeps it all under the rug, which seems to be getting lumpier by the day.
Pretty soon the Oval Office carpet will be suitable only for off-roading because of the size and amount of the lumps.

Editor, Yankee Magazine
It can be a bit of a local sport, deciding where exactly to find the absolute best view of Monadnock. I'm here to tell you where. Driving from the east, make your first left past Yankee's red buildings onto Upper Jaffrey Road. Drive a few miles, until just before Monadnock State Park, you'll see a parking area on the right with a sign saying "Gilsum Pond area." If you have a bicycle with you, pull in here. About 100 yards farther down, take your first left onto Thorndike Pond Road. After a few hundred yards, look over your right shoulder. The mountain opens and opens, spreading across the sky. The road around Thorndike Pond is six miles, and it's one of my favorite bike rides, or long walks. If you're staying with the car, it's 10 minutes you'll remember for the view over your shoulder.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (KRT) - Coach Gene Keady looks over a Purdue basketball roster suddenly missing shot-blocking center John Allison and sees, well, uncertainty.
There's 6-9 Adam Wetzel, whose off-the-bench productivity (2.9 points, 2.3 rebounds) leaves his coach wanting more.
There's 6-11 Kevin Garrity and 6-8 Brett Buscher, improving freshmen not yet ready for prime-time duty.
There's even 6-6 Rodney Smith, who is better suited to an outside-inside role.
None seem likely to replace the 6-10 Allison's inside numbers of 11.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 55 blocks.
But if the Boilermakers are to survive their grueling February, they'll have to.
"It's not very complicated," Keady said. "Adam, Kevin, Rodney and Brett have to step up, or we're not going to win."
Purdue (13-7 overall, 5-4 in the Big Ten) faces this dilemma after Monday's exam revealed a stress fracture to the third metatarsal of Allison's right foot. Team physician Mike Krauss said Allison would need a week of rest before determining how long he might be out.
That means Allison, a junior, will miss games against Wisconsin on Wednesday and Illinois on Saturday, with the Feb. 14 contest against Ohio State in doubt.
"We'll have to suck it up and take up where John left off," Keady said.
Allison first complained of foot pain during last Friday's practice.
"He said somebody stepped on it," Keady said. "He didn't seem too concerned. We treated it as a sore foot."
Allison was treated after practice, and then twice on Saturday. He played 21 minutes Sunday against Michigan State, totaling three points, three rebounds and four blocks. He hit only one of eight shots.
"He played through a lot of pain and still blocked four shots, even though he probably shouldn't have been playing," Keady said.
Even with Allison, the Boilermakers had struggled with rebounding. On Sunday, Michigan State had a 53-29 rebound edge.
"Certainly John's offensive rebounding and the fact he's an inside scoring threat will be missed," Keady said.
Smith is Purdue's best remaining rebounder (5.4) and shot blocker (28). No one else averages more than guard Maynard Lewis's 3.7 rebounds.
Buscher averages 5.1 points and 3.1 rebounds. Garrity averages 0.8 points and 1.2 rebounds.
If Buscher, Wetzel and Garrity can't handle it, the Boilermakers might have to go with a four-guard lineup, hoping quickness can offset a lack of inside muscle.
"These things are part of coaching," Keady said. "We've always told our (reserve) players they're only one play from being a starter or playing more minutes, and that's certainly true in this case.
"We're anticipating somebody will step up."
