Guide By: Drake O'Phile
There are 12 achievements with a total of 200 points.
Show / Hide Guide Road Map
[XBA would like to thank Asian47 for this Roadmap]
|Get 100 or more rings.
"Centurion" is a giveaway achievement and will probably be the first one you unlock. You only have to simply gain 100 rings in any level at any time (but your counter must read "100"). Every level in the game has more than 100 rings with the exception of Final Zone, so if you'd like to just passively get this achievement you will most likely get it in Star Light Zone, which is full of hoops and loops that contain lots of rings.
|Clear Green
|Clear the Green Hill Zone.
Another easy steal. All you have to do is sink Dr. Robotnik's big wrecking ball ship in Green Hill Zone Act 3 to get this achievement. His movements are very predictable and the battle is more or less a "stick and move" contest.
|Fast Green
|Beat Green Hill Zone Act 1 in under 35 seconds.
For this achievement I'll introduce the concept of Quick Saving/Loading. Make it a habit to save your game often so you can simply reload it from that point and try again. The system works like an emulator's savestate function and is easily abusable. It helps to play through Green Hill Zone Act 1 a few times to get a general idea of how the level is laid out and where enemies are located. Try to keep on the high parts of the level and keep airborne as long as you can, toss in just a smidgen of luck and you have this one in the bag.
|Fast Marble
|Beat Marble Zone Act 1 in under 80 seconds.
This speedrun-style achievement functions in the same way as "Fast Green". However, this one is a little different because the level is longer and there are a handful of parts that involve a little bit of impatient waiting. Again, it is recommended to get a mental map of the level and know to expect traps and hang-ups ahead of time.
|Star Light Zone
|Get to the Star Light Zone.
Upon completion of Labyrinth Zone you will get this achievement. Labyrinth Zone does not actually have a boss persay, it is more of a race. You need to keep up with Dr. Robotnik and the rising water while avoiding the fireball spitting statues and harpoons lining the walls. The physics of jumping underwater in the game do not seem to help at all, and once again there is a bit of pressure due to holding your breath underwater. The level seems to go on forever, but if you keep your cool and focus only on dodging the hazards you'll emerge from the water and get to the Egg Prison.
|Spring Yard Zone
|Get to the Spring Yard Zone.
Upon completion of Marble Zone you will get this achievement. To beat the Marble Zone boss only try to hit Dr. Robotnik when he is flying or getting ready to drop a fireball, else you might bounce off into the lava or come back down and land on a burning platform.
|Labyrinth Zone
|Get to the Labyrinth Zone.
Upon completion of Spring Yard Zone you will get this achievement. Dr. Robotnik in Spring Yard Zone is arguably the most annoying boss in the game. You can only seem to hit him when he is about to come down with his grappling spike to pick up a block. These blocks do not respawn so there is a sense of urgency to the battle that adds some unwanted pressure. Keep on him and after the regular amount of hits he'll explode and flee.
|Chaos Emerald
|Get one Chaos Emerald.
All you have to do is beat one Special Stage to get this achievement. For more Special Stage tips and tricks see "Chaos Master" below.
|Chaos Master
|Get all the Chaos Emeralds.
To enter a Special Stage you must meet these requirements:
|Beat the game.
There is nothing special required to get this achievement. All you have to do is beat the game. You do not need all of the Chaos Emeralds, you do not have a set time limit, and you can die as many times as you like. To beat the Star Light Zone boss you can attack Dr. Robotnik in two different ways; you may use the see-saws to launch his spiked mines back at his ship, or you can use the mines as counter weights to bounce Sonic into the ship. Beating the Scrap Brain Zone/Final Zone boss is a trifle difficult but not impossible. You have 0 rings during this so you cannot get hit; the most dangerous things in this level are the purple electrodes that shoot out from the red sensors at the top of the screen. You have to hit the piston that Dr. Robotnik is hiding inside to hurt him, and yes the pistons can smash you. Hitting Dr. Robotnik is almost a game of luck, so just keep on your toes and you'll eventually be presented with enough opportunities to sink him once and for all.
|Fast Win
|Beat the game in under 40 minutes.
40 minutes is 2,400 seconds; with 19 levels in the game this evens out to 126 seconds, or just over two minutes, per level. You can beat the Green Hill Zone and Marble Zone levels (and perhaps some of the Spring Yard Zone levels) in under this time so this gives you a little bit of leeway to work with in future levels such as Labyrinth Zone and Scrap Brain Zone. Save before (and after) every level, that way if you feel liek you could have done it faster you can simply reload and try again.
|Perfect Win
|Beat the game without dying.
To "die" in this game Sonic has to get hit while he has zero rings. As long as you have at least one ring you can get hit as many times as you like, given that you always go back and pick up this ring. Much like the advice given for the "Fast Win" achievement, saving before and after every level is a good strategy, that way if you die you can reload the level and start over. If you are an exceptionally talented Sonic the Hedgehog player you can be daring and try to combine this achievement with literally every single achievement available for this game, it's possible to nail them all in one play through.

4 Milwaukee officers suspended in hit-and-run investigation
Substandard police work led to lesser charges in death of moped rider
Four Milwaukee police officers have been suspended for failure to fully investigate the hit-and-run crash that killed Navy veteran Nicholas Rozanski last fall, according to the Milwaukee Police Department.
Britney M. Wilkinson, 24, of Milwaukee, the driver of the car that collided with Rozanski's moped, was allowed to plead no contest to two misdemeanors last month because Assistant District Attorney Mark Williams feared the substandard police work would make it difficult to prove a felony at trial.
One officer was suspended for three days, another officer was suspended for two days, and two more officers were suspended for one day each, according to Anne E. Schwartz, Milwaukee police spokeswoman. She would not release the officers' names or describe the specific misconduct that led to the discipline.
Rozanski's stepfather, Jim Bacon, said the short suspensions don't do enough to hold the officers accountable for botching the investigation.
"If they had done their job there would have been justice. As it is, there was no justice," he said.
The crash occurred around 3 a.m. Sept. 11 near the intersection of S. 1st and W. Florida streets. After Rozanski, 35, was knocked from his moped, Wilkinson left the scene for between 20 and 45 minutes, according to a criminal complaint. She drove nearly four miles to a gas station, where she called her boyfriend. He picked her up and drove her back to the crash site. After talking briefly with police - telling them she had two flat tires and her brakes didn't work - Wilkinson was allowed to go home.
It is against the law to leave the scene of a wreck, even for a short time. If injuries are nonexistent or minor, it is considered a misdemeanor. If serious injury or death results, it is a felony.
According to the accident report, the two officers who let Wilkinson go, Eric Fjeld and Sean McCord, did not conduct field sobriety tests, a breath test or a blood-alcohol test on Wilkinson, who is related to Milwaukee police officer Kelly D. Parker of District 4.
At the urging of a police accident reconstructionist, Wilkinson was arrested at her home about five hours after the wreck, according to Williams.
Wilkinson made several statements to police, telling them she had been to three different bars before the crash and drank 1½ Long Island iced teas early in the evening. She also admitted she was involved in the crash and drove away afterward. Detective Edwin Johnson, who interviewed Wilkinson at the jail, testified in November that he didn't immediately inform her of her right to remain silent and her right to an attorney.
An officer who spoke with Wilkinson at the scene didn't inform her of her rights, either, according to courtroom testimony.
Because of that, just one of Wilkinson's confessions - made after Johnson realized the mistake and read Wilkinson her rights - was allowed to be used against her in court.
Wilkinson's attorney, J. Kenyatta Riley, has said his client gave police no reason to believe she was intoxicated.
Schwartz acknowledged the numerous problems with the investigation but said Rozanski's blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit at the time of the crash and he failed to yield. None of the officers involved in the initial investigation knew about Wilkinson's relationship to Parker, she said.
Wilkinson originally was charged with hit-and-run involving death, which is a felony regardless of who was at fault or whether either driver was drinking. It carries a maximum possible prison term of 25 years. Last month, she entered a plea agreement that allowed her to plead no contest to two misdemeanors: reckless driving causing bodily harm and resisting and obstructing police. She faces a maximum penalty of just over two years in jail when she is sentenced March 28.

Historical Traveler Reviews Club Med Cancun Yucatan
Not A Big Fan
Just got back from a week at Club Med Cancun and would never go back!
We took a Club Med charter flight which was delayed almost 2 hours leaving, not a good start to the vacation. Our room had an odor of mold to it and the beds were like sleeping on the hard floor. The food although not bad got very boring, it was buffet in the same place for breakfast, lunch, & dinner. There is another restuarant but it was only open 4 days out of the week and you could only make reservations in the morning the day of when you wanted to go and could only make the reservations at the front desk, so by 8:00 am there were no seats left.
We did enjoy the shows put on by the GOs, but they were only everyother night. My husband dislocated his shoulder while windsurfing and the attention we received was horrible! They wanted him to walk to the nurse's office from the windsurfing area which was a good 7 minute walk. And than they told us to go to the hospital but we had to take a cab which was another 30 minutes and at our cost. The nurse didn't even call the cab for us, I had to go to the front lobby and asked someone to call a cab. Club Med had our departing flight scedualed for the wrong time so we went to the airport at 7:00 am for our 10:00 am flight and than we were told that our flight was not until 8:20 pm! Although they did give us a room for the day when we got back to the resort, there were no apologies and no other compensations. Also, be aware that there are not a lot of Americans at the resort, French is spoken more than Spanish is and you are in Mexico! We made the best of the vacation but I will never do another Club Med EVER!!!
Fabulous honeymoon...
My wife and I went to Club Med Cancun a bit over a year ago ( 7/02) for
a honeymoon, and we had an amazingly good time. I'm in my early 50s,
and my wife just turned 40 but we never felt that we were out of our
league in an overly youth oriented or singles type atmosphere. Club Med
in general is the type of place where you can do absolutely nothing all
day except work on your tan, or keep totally busy nearly 24 hr per day.
We did some of each.
I got to go water skiiing for the first time in about 30 years. I was never terrific at it, but the GOs were very helpful and encouraging and had me on my feet in no time. At the club itself we went snorkelling, sailing, swimming ( pool and ocean) and just chilling. We also took excursions to Chichen Itza' s Mayan ruins ( truly awesome) Xcaret ( an ecological theme park which was lots of fun) and a catamaran party cruise to a nearby island.
I'm sorta surprised at some of the negative reviews I've seen here. Our room was quiet, clean, with a perfectly functioning air conditioner. We both enjoyed the buffet food. Sure, some of the dishes repeated during the week, but there were so many to choose from that you could easily find something you hadn't tried yet.
At the time we went, the club was not totally inclusive, meaning that you either had to pay extra for a bar bracelet, or buy a book of bar tickets to use instead of money. Neither of us drink a huge amount, and since beer and wine is included with lunch and dinner we opted to buy bar tix for the few additional drinks we wanted. Worked out fine for us.
The nighttime entertainment wasn't Vegas or Broadway, but it was imaginatively staged and enthusiastically performed and we went to the performance every night we were at the club.
To tell the truth, money was a big factor when we booked our honeymoon, and this was by far the best value we could find. We would go back in a minute, except we want to explore other Club Med facilities ASAP.
Don't Go Here!!!
The following are opinions and are not to be construed as statements of fact.
1. Bad Food- Food is buffet style which is fatty, greasy and the same food is repeatedly served throughout the week. Amazing that a club that markets itself towards the active and healthy served such garbage food.
2. Bad Rooms- The rooms had mold which made a traveling companion sick.
The air conditioning did not perform well and consequently the room was uncomfortable.
3. Bad Bar- Drinks were watered-down, used cheap ice that melted fast, bartenders that were not G.O.'s were unfriendly, French were pushy and often cut in the front of the bar line to order their drinks.
4. Bad G.O.'s- G.O.'s (aka 6th grade camp counselors) were annoying, most spoke foreign languages which made it difficult to understand them.
5. Bad Weather- This club is worthless without cooperative weather. It rained 4 days of our 7 day trip. Hope it does not rain!
6. Bad Nightlife- The "disco" consists of a few speakers inside a snackbar.
7. Nice Beach, beautiful clear water.
8. Mexicans- They try to rip you off.
9. Mayans- Well, they were cool.
What an amazing time! I went to Cancun, Club Med on the advice of my travel agent as a great place for single travellers to go. She was right! I am 25, female, single, and went by myself. I still talk to people online from all over the world I met there.
You've never jetskiied until you've jetskiied on the caribean! All the employees at Cancun, Club Med were fabulous.
The food was indescribably wonderful. You name it and it was there!
Desert tables, Asian, Spanish, etc...corners of the world cooking, each table respresented a different country style of cooking. I would go again just for the food!
The staff there were very knowledgable and able to recomend any type of thing you were looking for in the downtown area. eg: Best Nightclubs etc. I hugely recomend Daddy'O's located a short cab ride away. Great times there, as well as Senor Frogs and the grass hut roofed bars along the strip...take a trip down to the local stores located downtown as well while you are there. Lots of souveniers to be bought down there!
Plenty of neat shopping to be had.
The social aspect of Club Med is HUGE. There sharing tables at mealtimes enables/forces even the shyest of people to have to communicate with fellow vacationers. They had contests in the evenings in each room "drinking" "games" etc. Plus a play including audience members with live entertainment nightly. And on site sailing/windsurfing/snorkeling sites included in your all inclusive package! Also the bar...lounge...nightclub and amazing pool! Lets not forget that I learned how to waterski on the lagoon too! :)
Good times. Five out of five stars for club med, Cancun. Highly recommended.
A really good 'first solo vacation' experience
I just got back from a short trip to Club Med Cancun over Thanksgiving 2003. I was a little nervous going on my own but it ended up being a great experience and one I won't hesitate to repeat!
I opted to have a room-mate and got a nice woman who had been at the resort for several days already and was able to show me the ropes a little.
The room was very nice - bright colours on the walls and the bed linens. The setup was good too - two closets, two personal safes and the toilet area separate from the shower and vanity. There was also a small patio area facing the lagoon although we never used it.
One thing I will say about the whole resort is that I felt very safe there. Walking back to my room alone at night was fine since there were security guards posted every few hundred yards. Comforting.
The pool area was really nice (YAY for it being an Adult Village so there were no children running around!). I went diving on my second day (my main reason for my trip) and it was GREAT! I finished my SCUBA certification and was really happy with the experience.
The food was REALLY good. (Try the White Chocolate Bread and the Walnut Bread - you can actually buy loaves of theire wonderful breads to take home!). I can see that perhaps eating buffet-style for a whole week could get tiresome but I liked it all, especially as the type of fare was changed from day to day. I didn't get the chance to have dinner at "La Palapa" but I did eat lunch there and it was a nice change.
The activities were good too - I enjoyed doing a bit of Salsa dancing and seeing one or two of the shows. The Lip-Synch contest was definitely very fun and it's obvious that several of the G.Os are very talented. I would have liked to try the Snorkelling, Windsurfing and the Sailing but high winds on my last day prevented that - oh well, next time. I did try kayaking though and that was fun too.
I had a WONDERFUL massage at the outdoor location (surrounded by Palm trees and the noise of the surf!), it was quite pricey - even by Chicago standards so one was enough, but the lady giving it was very strong and loosened me up lots!
The G.Os were very friendly - as were most of the G.Ms. I got to know some of the G.Os and it was obvious that they made great efforts to remember names and where people were from.
I found the whole atmosphere/attitude at Club Med to be one of outgoing friendliness. Because so many people are on their own it is practically expected that you would strike up conversations with strangers at meals or at the bar or by the pool. No one thinks you are being intrusive and people respond very well to overtures of friendship. You get used to the openess and it starts to feel very normal - I found myself still doing it on the plane home! (Quite the 'Life Lesson' I think!)
Last but not least is the 'All-inclusive' aspect - which I LOVED! I didn't do an GREAT deal of drinking over the weekend since I was going to be diving and I really just needed R&R rather than hard-partying, but it was SO nice to just order whatever drink happened to take my fancy without thinking about money or tip or anything!
One thing though, the Internet cafe is not terribly pricey ($5 for 15 mins) BUT the connection speed is SOOOOOOO Slow - so be warned!
I found myself wishing that I had been there the whole week and had been able to participate in more activities and to have done some more diving AND to have perhaps gotten to know more people. I will definitely return and do a Sat-Sat or Sat-Sun vacation to take full advantage of everything.
Thumbs up Club Med!
Absolutely amazing!!
Oh my gosh if you love meeting new people and keeping yourself busy go there..it's amazing..you meet tons of people from all over the world, it's so much fun and the activies are so much fun..like windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling, tanning and etc..so much fun..the beach is amazing..wow..went snorkeling and saw so much like octupus, fish and etc..the food is great..so much variety everyday..the breakfast was the best...i went there myself and had a blast , met so many interesting people wow!..i would definately do it again that's for sure in fact i am going again with this girl i met there next year..the weather is absolutely amazing!! hot everyday...and oh yes the security there wow is so safe that in fact i was walking late in the night like 4 in the morning just checking out the beach and it's so safe!! if you have any questions drop a line..it's A+!!!
I really enjoyed it!
I went to Club Med Cancun and had a fabulous time there!! I actually went on my own and was nervous at first, but Club Med Cancun exceeded my expectations. I have since been to Turks and Caicos Club Med and I actually prefer Cancun. While Turks has a beautiful beach, I really enjoyed the fact that Cancun has 2 separate beach areas. The main beach is right outside the resort and is generally crowded and noisy, but fun if you want to meet others and do beach activities with others.
The second beach is around the peninsula and is quiet and peaceful.
There is a beautiful bar and resaurant out there so you can eat/drink at the more peaceful beach if you want to (and watch the gorgeous sunset) - and a major bonus is that you just don't have to listen to constant music and pep-rally announcements from the GOs by the pool/main beach.
I took tennis and windsurfing lessons. I went snorkeling and sailing. I also did water aerobics in the pool. All were excellent and fun.
The rooms were okay - but frankly that is what you find at any of the Club Meds I think. They all seem to be pretty much the same - with average food and accommodations. It's the activities and nightlife that you pay for. The pool was great, the bar and dancing at night were fun and the activities were amazing. There is plenty to do all day and all night - or you can just relax on the beautiful beach and stare out at the crystal blue waters. I met lots of people, some of whom I keep in touch with. A well-worth it vacation!!!!
A major rip off!
I stayed at Club Med Cancun and would say it is by far the worst resort in the carribbean! The GOs were "very fake" in delivering good customer service. Most were uninterested, choosing to mingle among themselves as opposed to mingling with guests. The GOs entertainment shows could be best described something high school amature night shows or plays.
My ground floor (university style) dorm room faced the swamp which smelled bad and had alligators so I could not open I patio door. Upon entering my room I found 2 cock roches running up the wall! The air conditioner operated one one speed high cold! The walls had no sound proofing so you could hear everything in the next door rooms.
The food was terrible!
It was a total waste of money and vacation time ....a real disappointment!
What a Joke
Spent a week at club med cancun, nov 13-20 2003. Foul odor in the rooms. Aligators in the lagoon, as water skiing is cancelled. Go's most of the time, non existent, to the clients. They are always positioning themselves toward the female tourists, for intimate relations. Club med, promoted singles week, it looked more like a couples get to gether from france most of the time.Poor participation from most of these european tourists, as their american counterparts were left to fetch on their own. Main concern, would be it was singles week for the GO's as they were more interested in logging in their quests, then, getting to know us tourists. I will never do a club med vacation again, as their promotion was inconsistent to us single people.
Loved the atmosphere
Damn! What a fab vacation, I went two years ago and have been to the Cuba Club Med and Club Maeva in Manzanillo, nothing has matched up to my trip to Cancun. I won't go anywhere else anymore. I am booking a trip for December right now. It was so great, I got to relax by the pool and beach, but also be included in whatever activities I wanted to. I did not even leave the resort ever..... and would probably venture into downtown at least one day, but, had such fun in the bar onsite that even in the evenings, I did not stray. Scuba diving, basketball and volley ball playing, water skiing, tennis playing, sailing, snorkeling, dance lessons and guitar lessons are some of the things I did, plus I was in one of the evening plays...what fun! E-mail me if you want more info. I am still in touch with about six people I met while there and we all feel the same way about the Cancun Club Med!

A Dyer County pharmacist and the pharmacy she works for have been disciplined by the Tennessee State Board of Pharmacy after an on-site inspection in November revealed several violations related to sterile and non-sterile compounding, out-of-date medication and prescription practices.
Christy R. Newbaker, D.Ph., and Main Street Family Pharmacy in Newbern were both listed on the Tennessee Department of Health's Disciplinary Action Report, released on Monday, April 16.
Newbaker was also disciplined in May 2012 for several violations of Tennessee pharmacy law, including allowing a nurse to work as a pharmacy technician in her facility without proper registration for four years and three months.
This March, the Tennessee State Board of Pharmacy placed Newbaker's license on probation for two years. The pharmacist was assessed $12,800 in civil penalties and must also meet certain terms and conditions throughout the probation.
Main Street Family Pharmacy in Newbern was also placed on probation. The pharmacy's license will remain on probation for three years, with $25,600 in civil penalties assessed per license. Main Street Family Pharmacy may also be responsible for other assessed costs.
A consent form, signed by Newbaker on Feb. 27 and approved by a majority quorum of Tennessee Board of Pharmacy on March 13, states Newbaker served as the pharmacist-in-charge at Main Street Family Pharmacy, located at 126 E. Main St., in Newbern.
On Dec. 6, 2011, board investigators inspected Main Street Family Pharmacy and observed the following violations to Tennessee pharmacy law:
* the condition of the laminar flow hood at the facility was not compliant with board regulations
* 89 expired medications were found on the pharmacy shelves
* 20 of these expired medications were used in drug compounding
* facility had shipped 11 compounded prescriptions directly to physicians' offices for use; however, none of these prescriptions were patient-specific as required by board rules
* a nurse had been working as a pharmacy technician in the facility without proper registration for four years and three months
The Tennessee Board of Pharmacy reviewed the facts concerning the violations on May 17, 2012. Civil penalties were assessed in the amount of $5,100 for the unregistered pharmacy technician and a letter of warning was issued pertaining to the compounding practices and the condition of the laminar flow hood. Newbaker signed the consent order on July 3, 2012 and the consent order was ratified by a majority quorum of the board on July 27.
In November, board investigators conducted an on-site inspection of Main Street Family Pharmacy in Newbern and discovered 109 out-of-date or deteriorated medications on the shelves.
Of these 109 medications, 107 were compounded drugs or drug powder materials including:
* 18 vials of expired estradiol pellets
* 56 expired powder and/or cream mixtures
* six powder and/or cream mixtures with no expiration date, lot or batch numbers indicated on the containers
* 19 bottles of expired medication in the facility's refrigerator and freezer
* eight expired vials of an injectable compound, Methione/Inositol/Choline B Complex with Lidocaine
In addition, investigators found 11 prescriptions dispensed by Newbaker that were not written on tamper-resistant paper and eight prescriptions dispensed by Newbaker that were emailed and unsigned.
These findings violated regulations concerning outdated and deteriorated drugs, medical and prescription orders, facsimile or electronic medical and prescription orders and tamper-proof prescriptions, constituting unprofessional conduct.
Newbaker's license was placed on a two-year probation effective March 13, 2013. The pharmacist is ordered to pay $12,800 in civil penalties.
At press time, the consent form for Main Street Family Pharmacy was not yet available through the Tennessee Department of Health website.
The pharmacy was listed on the Monthly Disciplinary Action Report for failing to comply with duly promulgated rules of the board. Its license was placed on probation for three years, with pharmacy officials ordered to meet certain conditions and assessed costs. Main Street Family Pharmacy was also assessed $25,600 in civil penalties per license.
Each month, the State Gazette receives a Disciplinary Action Report from the Tennessee Department of Health. The newspaper reports on all Dyer County cases.

Getting started with Xen virtualization
Xen is a very powerful virtualization solution. In contrast to other options such as OpenVZ, it has the advantage of emulating a complete computer in a fashion similar to VMware. Xen is therefore capable of virtualizing guest operating systems other than Linux.
It is already possible to run NetBSD 4 as a Dom U on Linux or as a Dom 0 for Linux Dom U's without any major difficulties. The only issue is caused by NetBSD's lack of Physical Address Extension (PAE) support, which makes it more difficult to install Debian than it actually should be.
Considering the speed at which Xen and NetBSD developers are working to achieve a solution to this problem, you can expect rapid progress in the trend toward virtualizing different operating systems on the same hardware.

Skip to comments.Elderly Viking Kitty with Diabetes
Posted on 01/04/2010 5:16:56 PM PST by Battle Axe
Miss Peach has been a Viking Kitty since I have been on Free Republic, but tonight she is in the hospital with severe diabetes.
Is there anyone else how has come across this problem?
What did you do and what was the outcome?
The sugar reading was 417. She will be 15 years old in 7 weeks.
Prayers up. 417 is way high...
I gave one of my cats (from 8 thru 10 years old.) a shot a day of insulin for 2 years. Have to kind of guess at dosage, unfortunately.
If the blood sugar can be stabilized, she can be ok. Still, not a good prognosis
(cat didn't like that needle, for sure)
Some friends had a kitty with diabetes and one was a nurse. She was able to do the insulin shots right before meals to keep Colonel Kitty fairly happy. The shot is really very simple and he did not have a problem with it, especially when he knew he was getting the good food, right after.
It is a very small needle, and I even did it when I was cat sitting, so it really was easy. I can email more if you like but it was very simple.
I don't know about cats, but we have a diabetic Gordon Setter dog, and has been for 4 years. Cats get it more than dogs. Our baby has lived a full life, it's just a pain in the butt for us. We check her with a human monitor 4 times a day, we're lucky I can come home for lunch break. Carefully monitor what she eats and she gets 2 shots a day, one at 7 am and 1 at 6 pm, that's about it.
I've had two cats and a dog with diabetes. The cats were getting insulin injections twice a day. We found out that if we split the dose, it was easier to control the blood sugar. Both cats and the dog lived to an old age and amazed the vet.
My husband is really good at giving shots and he would grab the back of the neck and give the shot there.
Diabetes seems to be fairly common in older cats.
I think it is kinder to put a cat down than give it shots every day.
I know, y'all get attached to a particular special friend. I am not trying to be cruel or insensitive.
You can get a doomed cat from the pound for far less money in honor of your late friend, and do a lot more good that way, I believe.
RULE #1 -— DON'T PANIC!!! Your cat has been diabetic for a while already, acting perfectly normal except for the increased water intake and the wet cat litter. Now you know, so you can do something about it.
I'm sorry to hear about your kitty. Second, really listen to your Vet -— this is important, and ask for handouts or further explanation if you have any questions. There are things that can be done and sometimes work very well.
Changing to an all meat canned cat food can't hurt. Actually, it does seem to help more than you might expect for many cases of diabetes in cats. Discuss this with your Vet and see what they think:
Insulin injections are probably in your kitty's future as well. Most cats tolerate these tiny injections quite well. A few cats even recover well enough to get off insulin.
I wish you the best. And 15 isn't too old, my brother's cat is a feeble 23 years old, but she's still chugging along.
I do not think the shots will be a happy thing. Testing today and set nailed me real good on three fingers.
I don't heal real well anymore.
There are some crystals that you can put in the litter box that will give a range of readings. Has anyone used that?
The vet said that she had used up a lot of her lives when she swallowed all that string TEN YEARS AGO and had to have a huge operation on her intestines. But she survived that!!
hang in there & also have your vet check her kidneys & urine . prayers up here for your kitty
I gave a good ol' cat with kidney failure subcutaneous saline for about a year. He was a good cat, and was worth the trouble. He didn't much like the needle, either.
I had a cat with diabetes and she went on well for 3+ years after being diagnosed. The shots are a snap (just be sure to vary the injection sites), and the cat doesn't even notice. Best of luck to you and Miss Peach.
My sister used standard diabetic strips to test the litterbox urine with one of her rescue cats. I don't know how well that worked. Cats can't tell ya they haven't eaten lately or ate just 5 minutes ago. ( the cat I had died of insulin shock finally.)
Ping for kitty advice.
Thank you all so very much for the kind words of support. It is most comforting to know that you are out there.
Once again I am reminded why I have no pets and refuse to be overcome by those cute little kitties and puppies.
It is extremely rare for someone to be what is called a brittle diabetic...that is one who's body cannot use the insulin that is injected or the pill...
In my years nursing I had only seen 1 brittle diabetic and his blood/sugar would sometimes go over 1000....it did much damage to his body, but there was nothing at the time that could be done for such people...
I am just guessing but I think at 15 it will probably be insulin...the injections are what is called sub Q, and are not painful. Not like getting a shot of penicillin with those big needles...
2 of my 4 sons has mature onset of diabetes, they both take pills, but if they lost some weight, it might help...diet is important in a diabetic. Your family will need lots of teaching on the subject. Don't be afraid to ask questions. If she is in the hospital, she will probably be seen by a dietitian and specialist in endocrinology..
hope this helps. Diabetes is not cured, its controlled..
I found this site years after we had a diabetic cat, who we cared for, for about three years before he was diagnosed with cancer.
We found that giving him his shot when he was eating worked great; just gently pick up the scruff of his neck, skin and fur, and inject there.
I look back and wish I had known about catkins, but I don't know if it was around back then.
Here is a link at the feline diabetes site that has a list of gluten free cat food by Fancy Feast. I now feed my two maine coons this food. http://www.felinediabetes.com/glutenfree.htm
I can usually get it at PetCo for about .50 a can on sale. In fact, it is on sale from Sunday until Jan 13th I think.
It seems really scary at first, but it can be done.
Prayers and well wishes.
My mother has an aging cat with diabetes. She loves the cat very much. She gives the cat shots everyday, twice a day I think. She would never stop doing this for her cat. It could go on for years and the cat is not very mobile anymore.
Neither of them seems very happy. I have a feeling it would be better to let the cat slip away humanely but my mother will not even consider it for a moment. She says she would be very lonely, in addition to not being willing to put the cat down for other obvious reasons.
You will have to decide for yourself whether you are more like me or my mom, I'm afraid.
Best wishes.
goat granny is senile, she though you were talking about a 15 year old person, after reading replies, I gather its a 15 year old cat....don't know anything about cat diabetes...Signed silly goat granny
Our own Viking Kitty developed diabetes as well. He made it about a year on twice daily insulin. Last fall he had turn for the worse and couldn't be balanced enough to recover.
We do miss him.
He stayed at the vet for a few days in the beginning, we did have to rush him back a few weeks later...too much vetsulin, he had a seizure...then we kept Karo syrup on hand but it didn't happen again, thankfully, still something to have on hand in case.
He's his old self and is enjoying his kitty life, it's hard to go away though, we have to get a pet sitter, that can give needles.
Believe it or not, it's really simple to give a cat or dog an injection. The reaction of the pet depends on the animal's pain tolerance and personality - each animal is individual in this regard. My favorite cat had renal failure for the last couple years of his life. I gave him fluid injections under his skin and also Pepcid injections for his nausea. He tolerated all of it very well and it greatly improved his health.
You might want to read the replies. Pets are rarely put down for diabetes. The treatmant is rountine. Just as there are many dogs that require meds for seizure, older pets that need arthritis drugs, even neurotic pets that need sedatives. Most pets will eventually need something, it does not necessarily mean they are suffering. As to not liking the injection, cats dislike most things that are good for them and delight in that which they don't need like thread with a needle attached to it, hot chicken in a skillet and the icicles on a Christmas tree.
SAA — I don't know if you still do the kittypings, but if you do, you may want to ping the list — FReeper kitty needs help.
Cat bites are very dangerous. I've seen someone lose a finger over a cat bit. I've also seen dozens of people admitted to the hospital for antibiotics and have multiple surgeries to recover from what looked like a minor bite.
You would do well to get your bites looked after. Now as opposed to later, they can turn south in less than 24 hours. In addition, you need to not put yourself in the position of being bitten again.
Like I tell people all the time at the store..."when is the last time you had to chase cats out of your corn field?"
Corn syrup in human food = diabetes; corn meal in pet food = diabetes. Simple as that.
I don't believe there is one brand of dry cat or dog food sold in stores that I would feed to any of my pets. They are ALL crap.
Sometimes, as with our 18 year old cat, Ivan, if they are being treated with steroids, like the Depo shot the vet gives for various problems, it can throw them into diabetes. 25Ivan had some really bad skin conditions and each year he would get Depo shots. After several in a row, he was diagnosed with diabetes. I had no idea that could happen. We went to a different vet after we started on the insulin shot regimen, She told us that sometimes it will resolve itself after the steroid works out of the system, usually about a month. Well, after a little over a month, and day long blood level tests, he cas declared back to normal. Thank God! It is a pain but can be managed. You can also watch blood sugar with a urine test (yes it can be done)! Prayers for you and your furbaby!
Miss Peach did bite a man who needed to have surgery on his hand. It was because he had diabetes himself and it was untreated. He had to have a hand surgeon to operate. Fortunately, my orthopedic surgeon is certified in hands. That Dr. told him that the cat had saved his life by forcing him to treat his diabetes. Otherwise he would have fallen into a diabetic coma while driving his new motor home to Canada. so they did not sue me, but have sent Christmas cards to Miss Peach.
Believe me the hydration makes them feel SO much better. Don't even worry about the little stick of the needle. I don't understand why people think it is cruel.
see my post #39. Most older kitties at some point have kidney failure.
Dehydration makes them feel absolutely miserable and the fluids give immediate relief.
We had a dog with diabetes who survived several years after diagnosis, and many live much longer and do very well. He had a severe case of pancreatitis that led to the diabetes, and lesson learned is never give a dog meat with fat (rib bones), it led to a a health crisis disaster. He had insulin shots twice a day and it was quite manageable. He enjoyed the remainder of his life until the very end when he didn't respond well to insulin any longer.
The vet told me that cats with diabetes are more easily managed, as a rule, and do quite well, often better than dogs. I wouldn't worry about giving the shots, the needle is fine gauge and they don't seem to mind it.
I have a cat I am taking to the vet this week, and I suspect she may have diabetes. She is 12 years old, quite snippy by nature, and will complain if she has to have shots, but should do well. I wouldn't put an animal down, as some suggest, for having to have shots. They handle many medical problems far better than people do.
our vet wanted us to put our elderly diabetic viking kitty (Ben) in the hospital over night when he had become listless and could not control his muscles well enough to even walk to the water bowl. I brought Ben home with a bag of IV fluids and he was better the next day. Then about a month later he had a check up and the vet almost didn't recognize him he was doing so much better. The vet had predicted our kitty would not have lasted the night. The vet sent me home with another IV bag 'just in case' we ever needed it again.
Ben gave up his fight this past September, more than a year after diagnosis.
MY cat, Ben actually developed a pavlovian reaction to the needle because he knew that after each shot, he got a yummy treat. He adored the canned food the vet prescribed.
It is pretty easy to treat. The best source of info (if no one has pointed you n this direction yet) is Feline Diabetes.com. they have a message board with so many wonderful, helpful people.
I would suggest that the first thing you do when your baby is home is to learn how to test his blood glucose levels yourself. it's not hard and you can use a human glucometer (do not believe your vet when they say otherwise. The human ones are less expensive and all you need do is test it against your vet's meter for accuracy).
The second thing I'd do is get rid of all dry food (if that is what you feed). It is loaded with carbs, which is deadly to a diabetic. It is very important that once diet has been changed, you test blood glucose levels before giving insulin as just the change in diet alone can reduce the levels and the insulin dose should be adjusted to the new levels
I'm sorry to throw so much info at you. It's a little scary at first, but it is so easy once you get used to it. If I can help in any way, please feel free to PM me.
Have had an older cat with diabetes. Had to do her sugars and give her shots but ya know she hung around enjoying all the attention for four more years
I recently switched all my animals (cats and dogs) to Blue Buffalo. It is a little more pricey than other brands, but it has helped out all my kitties with their varying health issues with 1 food. My 2 kittens were getting urinary tract infections on a regular basis and my adult cat has a sensitive stomach. The ingredients in blue buffalo are a lot better than other, cheaper brands. They don't have fillers and by-products. www.bluebuff.com
Yeah, I feel the same way about human children.
My advice is read the contents label and then ask yourself: if my cat were wild and living off the land, would he/she be eating cornmeal gluten, wheat gluten or sugar? No. And they wouldn't be consuming all the sugar and salt added to semi-soft food, either. That stuff is horrible for cats or dogs.
Yes, I had a kitty who came down with severe diabetes very suddenly when he was 19. He'd always been slim and it was definitely not the standard overweight-related diabetes. Please freepmail me and I'd be happy to discuss in detail. The regular home nursing care your kitty will need will seem quite overwhelming at first, but becomes very manageable once you learn the ropes and get into a routine.
Please don't guess at insulin doses — get a simple inexpensive glucose meter and test at least twice a day before giving insulin. At first you'll be clumsy at this and kitty will get annoyed, but soon you'll both take it in stride. Get the tiniest insuling needles, 29 gauge, and kitty will barely notice the shots. Mine would get his shot right after I put down a fresh bowl of food for him and he would even stop eating for a second when I gave him the shot.
Your kitty will probably need subcutaneous fluids at home on a regular basis, as diabetes promotes dehydration. You can get the fluids and other supplies very inexpensively from Brico Medical Supplies. Do not purchase any more than your first bag of fluid from your vet or you'll be pouring huge amounts of money down the drain.

What's hot: Early morning and moving water will offer great fly-fishing opportunities. Most bridges are loaded with baitfish as well as crabs. Predators such as baby tarpon, jack, snook, red and black drum and pompano have never been in larger numbers in these locations. Tarpon can be seen rolling and usually ive you a location where they are concentrated. Snook make a telltale pop or scatter baitfish as they feed.
Technique: Have one 8- or 9-weight rod rigged with a white surface popper and floating line. The second rod should have a clear sinking tip and a baitfish imitation similar to what you see in the water. Both should have 30- to 40-pound shock tippets to prevent breakoffs and give you some authority to keep hooked fish away from barnacle encrusted abutments. If fish aren't sighted, cast to abutments allowing the current to swing your offerings to the fish's anticipated location. They will be close to structure.
Tip: Anchoring limits your ability to not only cover more water but also get larger hooked fish into open water to level the playing field. This is where an electric motor is valuable. As the sun comes up, the bridge also offers shade to keep you and the fish cool.

They are very comfy and nice casual shoes. A little large. And I even went a size smaller than I usually go. But most adidas shoes seem to run large. Overall I really like these shoes and their unique design ... read more
I really love these shoes. The only thing I was displeased with was that they are not true to color. They come much more pink than the photo comes. They also don't tighten to fight the width of my foot. However, other than that, great shoe. worth the buy! ... read more
I bought these to wear out and they are exactly what I was hoping for. They look super trendy and feel like a million bucks. So impressed Adidas. Who knows, maybe I'll try a run in them when my Pure Cadence wear out. ... read more
It's a very well made shoe. The suede on this is fantastic. Very recommended. Be wary on the sizing though. I have somewhat narrow, flat feet, wear an 8 in sambas, but I found this model to fit a 1/2 size big. The arch support in these are pretty good for a medium, non aggressive arch. Again, recommended ... read more
This is my third pair of these same shoes (same color as well). Each of these pairs lasted 10+ years. I didn't wear these everyday, but they were worn 'regularly.' I have over 10+ pairs of Adidas. Solid quality. Design is superb. What else do I need to say ? They are a classic. ... read more
I am a size 6 and so I got the size 6. But the area near the vamp (toward the front part of the shoe) was too narrow for me - my toes felt squished. I assumed I needed to "break" the shoes in, but after consideration, the shoes were still too narrow. Also the heel of the shoe had too much room. When I walked, my heel didn't stay in put even when I tied the shoelaces more. I would be willing to try a different size but the closest retail store is cities away. I am planning to return my shoes for a refund. ... read more
The top of this shirt is very slouchy. The back part of the collar hangs down inside the shirt because the tags are so heavy and the neck opening is too big/light. The material is slightly scratchy. Like the colors and logo on the back, but the physical design of the shirt is lacking. Not something I would ever work out in. ... read more
These trainers are the best! I love the fit, the colors are exactly as shown. The feeling of a snugly-fitting sock is amazing - like wearing slippers in the gym. The floating arch is such a nice touch and the feeling is great - your foot is never 'hanging' in the air, it is supported 100% of the time, regardless of the motion you are performing. All in all - my best purchase so far. ... read more
I heard it ran large so I decided to half size down I'm normally a 6 but I got a 5.5 it was still too big ik disappointed their cute and all but I don't want clown feet I lost my return receipt so now I'm stuck with them ... read more
So awesome that Adidas brought back a classic. Keep the colors coming. It's a bummer when it's the same 3 colors (black, navy and red). Just purchased my 3rd pair in less than 2 months. This shoe is stylish and comfortable. When I used to play indoor soccer I used this shoe and I would go through a pair in no time. Then it was up to the sporting good store to buy the newest color. Looking or purple or royal blue next (I have green, lime (neon yellow) and orange is on the way with red in the cross hairs). Gazelles are perfection in suede! Now bring back the old Tobaccos! ... read more
I love the look and feel of this shoe and was so excited to try them on the first time. Based on other people's reviews I went a 1/2 size up and ordered a 9 when I'm usually an 8.5. They were WAY too big. Had to return them and now I'm not sure if I should order an 8.5 or go all the way down to an 8. ... read more
Shoe is great, except it is impossible to keep clean. Pre-treated with Crep, used Jason Marks shoe cleaner, still looks dingy after one day of light urban use. I like to keep my white kicks looking white, unfortunately this are impossible. ... read more
really love the fit. how it slopes in at your shoulders creates a really nice shape. at first I didn't like the length since it's so short but after I tried it on it grew on me. it loose and baggy, but the cut still makes it look cute. also love that you can get the color pop of your sports bra under the arms. ... read more
I have been wearing Adidas shoes and clothing for at least 20 years. My favorite black three stripe and logo hat (among a collection of dozens) should be retired but I can't help grabbing it at least once a week. I have run it through the washing machine more times than I can count and it has withstood years of abuse. I absolutely love the latest designs. The geology line is the bomb (my Father is a Geologist/volcanologist) keep up the great work! ... read more
The color and shape is very different from the picture online. The color is much darker, and the shape is not as slim as it looks in the online picture. I would not consider to purchase the shoes if I see it in a retail store. The quality is good though. ... read more
I had my eye on this pair of shoes in the color pink and I wanted them for a getaway so I ordered them and they came just in time but I realized that they were to big I ordered a size 6 youth so I called all of the stores near by and they didn't have them in the color I wanted I was really upset that I couldn't get them for the getaway. So the next time I went shopping we stopped at the adidas store turns out I was a size 4 1/2 so I was going to order them the right size but we stopped the foot locker and turns out they had the color I wanted and the size when the same shoes have been sold out at every adidas I was so happy to finally be able to wear them they are so comfortable love them so much! Just a tip this shoe actually runs bigger so the 6 was huge!!! ... read more
I do like this shirt with it's pattern design and length. The only thing I wasn't too sure about was how the shoulders become boxy on me. Not sure if it was previously hung on a hanger, but the shoulders poke out on both sides. I'm going to see if there is a change after it's washed. Other than that, I do like the shirt. ... read more
Finally a great training bra that I can run in too! Being a 36DD, it's hard to find the right support, but this high support bra will keep you going for miles. I ordered size Large - it is the perfect fit, supportive, and cute! ... read more
I really want to love this shoe. It looks great, matches well with a lot of different clothes, has a retro look, and has buttery suede. BUT. The heel tab of the shoe is quite tall and after walking in them for a whole day, it has dug into the back of my Achilles tendon and caused painful chafing in that area. The chafe was unbearable and made it hurt to wear any other shoe without putting a band-aid over the wound. ... read more
Clearly a must have if you're a fan of Adidas Originals. I'm suffering from "The dopest shoes in the room syndrome" daily. THE GOOD: Style, Style, Style THE BAD: Slightly too large. I wear 9.5-10.0 could've used a 9 for a snug fit. ... read more
I thought the color was more pale/ lighter when i purchased it on line. I was expecting a ballet pink color and the shoe is really a bright peachy-pink color. still super cute and kept them. i get many compliments for the unique color. ... read more
Nice shoes run a tad small. I wear 8 in sneakers so I ordered and 8 but they were too big. Called to return and lady was very helpful and nice. Reordered a size 7.5. Hopefully they will fit because I really like them. Also the color is more on the pink side than peach. ... read more
Lifts and separates but doesn't control bounce. Could be better with a hook/eye clasp in the back to control compression. Does cut into front arm a bit as well. For reference I am 5' 7", 195 Ibs, and wear a 36DDD. I usually wear a L or XL in other brands. ... read more
AQ4596 (Grey/Multi) looks more navy irl than what's pictured here on the website. The silver toned mesh and iridescent details make these pure Boost X trainers mermaid-esque. My toes get caught on the front seam if I'm not wearing socks.. So I wear socks and that seems to solve the problem, although as a result I am noticing I am beginning to form a habit of actively planting my toes with each step and squat which is important. ... read more
Cool, modern looking shoes. The size I got fit perfectly, but was a size down from my usual size (got size 6, usually wear size 7). I could have gotten a 6.5 and they would have still fit fine, but 6 was great. Highly recommend these shoes. ... read more

But he never got a chance to speak.
There are conflicting reports as to why. A source close to COI chair Dennis Thomas, commissioner of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, said he never told Hewitt he couldn't talk during the hearing. But at least two sources who were in the room told ESPN.com that Thomas said to them Hewitt didn't need to speak since he wasn't mentioned in the case and wasn't in jeopardy.
The thrust of the hearing was based on Yellow Jackets football and whether the school should have declared receiver Demaryius Thomas ineligible after he accepted $312 worth of clothing in 2009 from former Tech quarterback Calvin Booker, who had been working for a sports agent at the time.
Joshua S. Kelly/US PresswirePaul Hewitt was fired after 11 seasons in Atlanta.
The sources said Hewitt was told by Dennis Thomas to sit there and not say anything since there were no penalties assessed to him. Yet, Georgia Tech had offered up to the COI a one-game suspension of Hewitt, even though it had fired him the previous month. The COI never dealt with the one-game penalty and didn't asses it. Hewitt never spoke during the hearing and neither did his attorney.
According to one source, Georgia Tech focused its attention on defending the football allegations and didn't pay as much attention to basketball. Hewitt was already gone. And the reaction from the school was that the sanctions were likely to be secondary in nature.
Hoops was more of an add-on to the football violations as the basketball focus group was looking into the camp that was conducted on Georgia Tech's campus. The finding was that the Yellow Jackets held an on-campus camp in May 2009 and that the program's academic advisor at the time, former player Jon Babul, was taking notes. Hewitt and his assistants were not at the camp.
The other issue Hewitt and his attorney, Stu Brown, had with the charge was that the rule put in place about the event came about during an NCAA session on Oct. 29, 2009, several months after Georgia Tech's camp.
Hewitt didn't receive any penalty from the COI and it didn't seem to affect his reputation much considering George Mason hired him as head coach just two weeks later. Still, the COI hit the men's basketball program currently being run by former Dayton coach Brian Gregory with a reduction of two recruiting days and four official visits over a two-year period. There were no phone call, off-campus recruiting or scholarship reductions from the hearing.
All of this adds up to more of a secondary penalty. The football program had to vacate the 2009 ACC championship and the athletic department was levied a $100,000 fine, but the damage to men's basketball is minimal at best, so this likely won't stick to Hewitt in the years to come.
Still, there is a stigma attached to a major violation under your watch.
"I'm disappointed,'' Hewitt said. "We have a difference of opinion of what happened.''
Hewitt said when LuAnn Humphrey of the NCAA enforcement staff spoke at the ACC meetings in May 2010, he realized that there might be a potential violation. He said that's when the questions started from the NCAA.
"Now my name is tied to a major violation penalty,'' said Hewitt. "It bothers me that my name is tied to a major violation that in May of 2009 wasn't in place.''
Hewitt said he wasn't on campus during the event and said there was no contact with his staff during the event. The enforcement staff charged that in May of 2009 and 2010 the event was run and operated by the program's graduate assistant. Georgia Tech and the NCAA agreed on the facts but not on the type of infractions. Tech called it secondary while the NCAA deemed it major.
The other secondary violation listed was the 10 impermissible tickets that were left by the men's basketball staff. The tickets became a violation, according to the NCAA, when they were left for people who had activity with possible student-athletes. According to multiple sources, the tickets were left for former players Matt Harpring, James Forrest and Dion Glover, who had been working out with kids who were 12 and 13 years old.
It has certainly been an eventful spring for Hewitt. He was fired. He went before the COI but didn't speak. He was hired at George Mason. He then left for a month to coach the USA U-19 World Championship team through the trials in Colorado Springs and into the tournament in Latvia, where the team finished fifth.
Now he'll be on the road next week for the final 10 days of the July evaluation period.
"We had a great group of guys,'' Hewitt said of the USA team. "We had that one game where we didn't shoot well, going 0-for-9 on 3s. There will be benefits in the long run. Everyone that went through it made an incredible sacrifice.''
Hewitt said he regretted that the Americans weren't able to play Lithuania for the gold medal in a raucous road environment in neighboring Riga, Latvia. USA had lost to the Lithuanians in an exhibition but then beat them during pool play.
"We didn't get that chance to play them in that crowd,'' Hewitt said of the eventual gold-medal winners. "I'm not sure we would have beaten them, but I like our chances.''
Hewitt said one of the toughest breaks for the Americans was losing Cal's Allen Crabbe during the trials to a broken nose and concussion. He said as soon as that happened and Crabbe was deemed unable to go on the trip, he knew shooting was going to be an issue for the team.
"I remember sitting there with Randy Bennett [assistant coach on the team and head coach at Saint Mary's] and saying, 'Damn, I hope it's not serious,''' Hewitt said. "He would have made the team. I think coming in he and [Creighton's Doug] McDermott were the best 3-point shooters.''
Hewitt said outside of the obvious choices of McDermott, Joe Jackson (Memphis), Patric Young (Florida) and Jeremy Lamb (Connecticut), he said he could see Meyers Leonard of Illinois having a breakout season after his play with Team USA.
"He's got a lot of potential,'' Hewitt said. "He's athletic. He can shoot the 15-foot shot. He can block shots. He runs well.''
As for his Patriots? George Mason is the predicted favorite in the CAA and added a major impact player in Erik Copes, a top-50 recruit who originally signed with George Washington before Karl Hobbs was fired.
"He's here, he's all set and he's ready to go,'' Hewitt said.
