We continue our WAC men's basketball preview with a look at #4 Nevada.
Team: #4 Nevada
Coach: David Carter, first season
Last year's record: 21-13 (11-5 WAC, 2nd)
Returning starters: three (F Luke Babbitt, F Dario Hunt, G Armon Johnson)
Key losses: F Malik Cooke, G Lyndale Burleson
Key newcomers: G Patrick Nyeko, F Marko Cukic
Why they're here: A new coach with a thin bench and a star or two. That might have brought Idaho out of the WAC's basement last year, but it wasn't enough to get the Vandals into the conference's top tier. Now, the Wolf Pack are facing a similar situation — only this year, the WAC is even deeper and more talented. Nevada has a tough road ahead if it wants to reach the conference title game for a second straight year.
Yes, Luke Babbitt and Armon Johnson are absolute studs, but below those two the talent dropoff is fairly steep. Only five Nevada players averaged more than 4 points per game last year, and one of them — third-leading scorer Malik Cooke — transferred out. Further compounding first-year coach David Carter's woes, two of the Pack's blue-chip high school recruits didn't make the grade academically. Carter isn't new to the program, but the leap from assistant to head honcho is not an easy task. He could use a little of Merlin Verlin's magic this season.
So Carter's cobbled-together squad (he has nine scholarship players available) will be depending heavily on unproven freshmen like Patrick Nyeko to provide relief, and he'll need returning backups Joey Shaw and Brandon Fields to make a big step up. With all of the other top WAC teams fairly bursting with more proven college-level scoring talent in their rotations, the Wolf Pack could simply be run ragged by the time the conference stretch drive rolls around. But don't count Nevada out — the conference tournament is on their home floor for the final time, and the Pack would dearly like to end its run in Reno as champions.
Why they could finish higher: At the top of the WAC, teams are so tightly bunched that it won't take much to swing the Wolf Pack into the conference lead. The tag-team of Babbitt and Johnson are so talented, they'll be able to take the team on their backs and carry it to victory solo against the WAC's lesser squads. As long as Carter can get solid minutes out of his role players, slow the game down and keep his stars out of foul trouble, Nevada will be able to battle hard and get itself into the mix for a favorable seed come tournament time.
Why they could finish lower: As noted above, just five players contributed the lion's share of Nevada's points last year — there's not much production waiting in reserve in Reno. The Wolf Pack need both Babbitt and Johnson to have near-perfect nights every night. If either one of them has an off game, it's going to be tough for Nevada to keep lighting up the scoreboard because the poor shooting from Shaw and Fields (.394 and .361, respectively) won't get it done. If the Pack's backups don't make a significant improvement, opposing WAC coaches will be drawing up their gameplans to run Nevada into the ground.
Most Valuable Player: Luke Babbitt (16.9 ppg, 7.4 rpg, .456 fgp) — Regardless of how well the Wolf Pack do, Babbitt might get WAC Player of the Year anyway. He's that good. Blessed with imposing size, a dancer's footwork in the paint and the ability to nail outside shots at will, Babbitt is the most difficult player to guard in the WAC. All of that, and he was only a freshman. With a full year of seasoning, a summer of conditioning and pro scouts looking on, Babbitt's already-splendid stat line should only get better.
Most Important Player: Armon Johnson (15.5 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 4.2 apg) — The glue that holds the Wolf Pack together, Johnson is one of the WAC's top point guards, second only to Mac Hopson in his versatility and firepower. One night, he might drop 25 points — the next, dish up double-digit assists. His only weak spot is his propensity to take godawful outside shots. Johnson hit just 25 of his 90 3-point attempts, one of the worst performances in the WAC among starting guards. Memo to Armon: when you're downtown, let someone else take the shot. Please.
Non-conference degree of difficulty: 5 — Credit where credit's due, Nevada has the cojones to play the defending national champions on the road. In a brutal three-day stretch, the Wolf Pack will visit 2009 Colonial champ VCU and 2009 NCAA champ North Carolina. Throw in neutral-site games against Mountain West power BYU and Nebraska or Tulsa and you have the toughest non-con slate of any team in the WAC, by far.
Fun fact: Nevada has had more success in the NCAA Tournament than any other current WAC member — since joining the conference in 2004, they've been to the Big Dance four times, including three first-round wins and a 2004 run to the Sweet 16.
Key games: Nov. 29 @ North Carolina, Dec. 28 vs. Portland, Jan. 13 vs. Utah State, Feb. 10 @ Idaho
Predicted record: 18-12 (9-7 WAC)

Eating your veggies and snacking on fruit isn't kids' stuff any more.
The low-calorie, high-antioxidant foods, plus some grains, could be the key for women keeping a stroke at bay, according to reports by the American Heart Association.
Researchers in Sweden found that antioxidant-rich foods inhibit oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
A study of more than 35,000 women in Sweden — more than 31,000 cardiovascular disease-free women and 5,600 with a history of heart disease — found those who ate an antioxidant-rich diet had fewer strokes especially if they had no history of cardiovascular disease.
From 1997 to 2009, the researchers tracked the woman who were between the ages of 49 and 83 years old. The women, and the make-up of their diets, were tracked through the date of their first stroke, their death, or Dec. 31, 2009 — whichever came first.
Food and information was collected through food-frequency questionnaires.
At the end of the study period, researchers identified 1,300 strokes among women who were cardiovascular disease-free, and 1,000 strokes among women with a history of the disease.
Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, carotenoids and flavonoids can inhibit oxidative stress, an imbalance between the production of cell-damaging free radicals and the body's ability to neutralize them, according to Susanne Rautiainen, the study's first author and a Ph.D. student at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden.
Antioxidants reduce blood clotting, blood pressure and inflammation.

Juventus have officially confirmed the signing of former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.
Pogba has signed a four-year deal with the Bianconeri after leaving Old Trafford.
The Frenchman turned down a new deal at United to make the move to Juventus in search of regular first team football.
The 19-year-old admitted it was an 'honour' to join the Italian champions and hopes to win over the club's fans.
"I am very happy to be here, it is a real honour," he told Juventus' official website.
"I have been told that there is a very good standard of play and the fans support their favourites. I hope they take me and support me in the same way."

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – HGTV host Carter Oosterhouse is teaming up with Lake Michigan Credit Union (LMCU) for a marketing campaign that will include a $25,000 home makeover giveaway.
Oosterhouse, a Traverse City native and an LMCU member, is nationally recognized for hosting several cable television shows about home renovation, design and community outreach. He is the host of a new HGTV show called "Million Dollar Rooms."
"Carter and LMCU is a very natural match. He's all about improving people's lives by building lasting value with the right tools and innovative techniques," said Don Bratt, LMCU's vice president of marketing.
"That philosophy meshes nicely with our focus on delivering value through superior products and services," said Bratt. "We have complimentary goals, and this is a natural partnership."
RELATED STORY: 2013 Michiganders to Watch: Carter Oosterhouse, HGTV personality and soon a Michigan vintner
LMCU's campaign with Oosterhouse launches this month with a $25,000 Home Makeover Giveaway.
"Anyone can enter, members and non-members alike," Bratt said, in a news release announcing the partnership.
"The sweepstakes will run until April 30 with a single drawing to be held May 17. The winner will not only get a $25,000 cash prize, but also advice from Carter about design ideas and eco-friendly building tips."
The contest can be entered online at lmcu.org, or personally at any LMCU branch location. Entrants can also increase their odds when friends enter the giveaway through a Facebook link.
LMCU's campaign will stretch across multiple media, including television, radio, print, outdoor, point of sale, Internet, social networks and member communications, Bratt said.
Oosterhouse's career as a carpenter began at the age of 12, when he began as an apprentice to his neighbor in Traverse City. He is a graduate of Central Michigan University and is married to actress Amy Smart.
In addition to his own production company with shows on HGTV, Oosterhouse runs a nonprofit that builds and rehabs playgrounds, makes furniture from fallen Northern Michigan trees, and recently released a new book, "Carter's Way: A No-Nonsense Method for Designing Your Own Super Stylish Home."
For his latest endeavor, Oosterhouse and his brother are opening a winery near Traverse City on Old Mission Peninsula. They have about 20 acres planted and just had their first yield of wine grapes.
"Oosterhouse's Michigan roots, visibility, personal charm and ability to communicate on an individual level were keys in his selection as spokesperson," Bratt said. "This new marketing campaign and partnership seeks to solidify our branding image in ways our members can relate to."

NEW YORK -- Curtis Granderson will not be in the Mets lineup tonight against the Brewers because of a calf injury. It began to bother him during Wednesday night's loss to the Brewers and tightened up afterward. Despite treatment today, Terry Collins did not put him in the lineup.
The Mets manager said he preferred to sit Granderson for 2-3 days, if necessary, rather than risk a longer-term injury. Granderson can pinch-hit, but would need a pinch-runner if he got on.
With a lineup beset by injuries, Daniel Murphy will lead off tonight for the Mets and Bobby Abreu will hit second.
"Why wouldn't you want your hottest hitter up there as many times as you can get him up?," Collins said. "So i'm going to lead him off and see what happens."
Murphy is hitting .305 this season with a .360 on-base percentage -- both are team bests.
"He's working on the plate discipline side, he's getting some base on balls, he's going to be a much more dangerous guy," Collins said. "We have a guy that really can fill that two-hole in Bobby Abreu…He gets base on balls, he knows how to handle the bat, he does a lot of things for you."

Former LSU outfielder Mikie Mahtook passed his No. 8 uniform to junior Mason Katz, and with it, theoretically, the role of the Tigers' offensive centerpiece. While Katz wears the number proudly, Raph Rhymes -- the nation's leading hitter -- wears the mantle as the team's major hitting force.
But Katz hasn't done badly in his junior season. In the shadow of Rhymes, who leads the nation with a .459 batting average, Katz has compiled a strong year at the plate heading into this weekend's NCAA regional tournament at Alex Box Stadium.
LSU plays Louisiana-Monroe at 7 p.m. Friday. All regional games will be broadcast by Cox Sports Television.
Katz, a former Jesuit All-State player, is having a breakout season, with a .335 batting average, a team-high 11 home runs and 48 RBIs -- second only to Rhymes' 50. A second-team All-SEC choice, Katz led the conference in runs scored and was in the top 10 in home runs, RBIs and slugging percentage.
Even though Katz has been overshadowed, he said batting in front of Rhymes in the third spot has made his strong offensive season possible, as did Mahtook last year.
"He's (Rhymes) the SEC Player of the Year, the guy is hitting .460 and nobody wants to pitch to him," Katz said. "It gives me a little better of a pitch to hit. My job is to get to second base, so Raph can drive me in."
Katz took that role seriously. He's third on the team in walks (31) and on-base percentage (.426), which shows maturity in his hitting approach. He walked only nine times last season and had a .371 on-base percentage in 190 at-bats, with four homers and a .337 average. Katz said he has grown up as a hitter, and some of that happened in last summer's Cape Cod League, where he was an All-Star with a .272 average and 18 RBIs."I'm taking advantage of other pitches, not trying to do too much and understanding the hitter I am," he said. "I'm not a 100 percent power hitter. I'm more of a doubles guy, gap to gap.
"I try to stay in that mindset, get into a 2-0 count and not try to fly off and hit a home run. The most important thing for me is to get in scoring position. Raph is hitting .600 with runners in scoring position."
There was a noticeable difference in Katz when he reported for fall practice, and it was the pitchers who noticed the free swinging side of him was gone. LSU ace Kevin Gausman remembers getting frustrated by Katz's ability to foul off his money pitch, an inside one-seam fastball. He finally had to resort to a curve to strike him out.
"When he came in here in the fall, if you struck out Mason it was a big deal," Gausman said. "We talked about it as a pitching staff. He's one of the few hitters that can get his hands in on that inside fastball. That's why he has been so successful."
In one respect, Katz followed directly in Mahtook's footsteps. He's the emotional center on the team and has become one of the leaders, with his unselfishness at playing multiple positions. Katz has shuttled between first base and right field, but he appears to have settled in the outfield, thanks to the emergence of freshman first baseman Tyler Moore.
"I wish I could cut him in half or clone him because he's our best right fielder and our best first baseman," LSU Coach Paul Mainieri said. "He has become an excellent defensive player. He's the most underrated baserunner we have, and he's a much better athlete than you would think he is. He's become a tremendous leader like Mikie was."
Few Tigers players love LSU as much as Katz, who grew up watching the program's success. His father, Billy, played baseball at Tulane, but his mother, Jana, was an LSU graduate. There was no doubt where he wanted to go after a career as a multi-position power hitter at Jesuit, which won the Class 5A state title in his junior year.
"I had choices, but I couldn't turn it down," he said. "I was loving this place when I grew up, and I had to come here."
The love has only grown stronger and likely will keep him at LSU for his senior season, despite the draft coming Monday. Mainieri said Katz is leaning toward staying for his senior year.
"Mason has indicated to me he very much wants to be back," Mainieri said. "I don't know there's enough money to buy him out of his senior year."
Said Katz: "When you have a team you really love, it's hard not to work hard. I come out, see all these guys out here early, it makes me want to work as hard as I can. It's helped me get better and better."

NCUA's Marquis to Testify on Exam Measure
NCUA Executive Director David Marquis and officials of other financial regulators are set to testify at next Wednesday's House hearing on a bill that would give financial institutions the chance to appeal the results of their examinations to an independent ombudsman.
Marquis will be testifying on a panel with officials of the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, and the Comptroller of the Currency.
The NCUA has so far declined to state its position on the measure.
Both CUNA and NAFCU support it.
West Virginia Credit Union League President/CEO Ken Watts is testifying on behalf of CUNA and JetStream FCU President/CEO Jeanne Kucey is doing so on behalf of NAFCU. Her Miami Lakes, Fla., credit union has assets of $125 million
There will also be representatives of the ABA and the Independent Community Bankers of America.
The hearing is being held by the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit. The panel's chairman, Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and ranking Democrat Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) are the lead sponsors of the measure.
Under the bill, a financial institution that is unhappy with the results of its examination would have the right to appeal it to an administrative law judge who would submit his or her findings to the ombudsman of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, which is made up of representatives of federal and state regulatory entities.
NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz is the council's current chairman.
The bill requires federal financial regulators to produce examination reports within 60 days of an examination's completion. In addition, if the financial institution wants it, the agency must include an appendix to the report listing all the facts that were used as a basis for the conclusions.

Well, it's over and the results are in . . . and basketball fans across the nation have spoken. And what they've said is that the 1982 North Carolina Tar Heels of Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Jimmy Black, Matt Doherty and Buzz Peterson make for the greatest college team of all time.
This all comes to you courtesy of ESPN.com, which put a bracket together of the supposed 64 best teams in college basketball history and allowed the fans – and 1˝ million did – to vote their way through the thing electronically.
What they came up with for a Final Four was: North Carolina '82, Indiana '76, Kentucky '96 and UCLA '69. In that grouping, the Tar Heels knocked off the Wildcats (54.2%-45.8%) and the Hoosiers eliminated the Bruins (54.1%-45.9%).
And in the title affair? It was all UNC as it triumphed over the IU club of Kent Benson, Quinn Buckner, Scott May, Bobby Wilkerson, Tom Abernethy and Wayne Radford (52.7%-47.3%).
As I blogged earlier, SU had one and only one club in the 64-team field – the 2003 Orangemen, who won the national title. But they didn't last long, as the Duke Blue Devils of 2001 took them out in the first round (61.4%-38.6%).
Me? I can't complain terribly much about that Jordan outfit winning the whole shebang. Really, that team was loaded. But I still believe the best team of all time had to have been one of those Lew Alcindor UCLA squads from 1967, 1968 and 1969. All three won the NCAA Tournament and along the way, they compiled an overall record of 88-2.
Oh, and did I mention that Lew Alcindor played center for them?

GENEVA, Ohio – Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer has seen most of the United States in his 13 years as a collegiate head coach. But he's most proud of his hometown, Ashtabula.
The town of less than 20,000 is proud of him, too. While Meyer was coaching at Florida, city officials had signs posted at entrances to the town that read, "Welcome to Ashtabula, Ohio, Hometown of BCS Championship Head Coach Urban Meyer."
Meyer downplayed his local celebrity on Wednesday, but added that he wouldn't trade growing up there for anything.
Meyer was back home Wednesday, hosting the third-annual Urban Meyer/Dean Hood Youth Football Camp at the Spire Institute in nearby Geneva with childhood friend and Eastern Kentucky head coach Dean Hood. For three hours, campers learned the fundamentals of football and safety of the game from a host of high school and college coaches. But for some, that might not be the most memorable part of the day.
Before leaving the field, Meyer stood before the campers, sharing the lessons of growing up in Ashtabula.
"Why not show up early? Why not work a little harder?" Meyer said. "Why not get great grades and get the attention of the teachers the right way? Not one NFL scout or one NFL head coach has said 'Hey, you got a guy that's usually late? And who's disrespectful?'"
"I love when people draw attention to themselves in a positive way," he added.
Meyer continued, preaching the importance of showing up on time, being a good listener and being respectful to classmates, teammates, parents, coaches, teachers and most importantly, teammates.
For Meyer and Hood, the free camp is a way to give back to the community that forced Meyer to learn "toughness, the blue collar work ethic, which Ashtabula, Ohio is."
Yet Meyer wishes he could do more.
"The two groups we can maybe have an impact on are young kids, because we can't be with high school players and high school coaches," Meyer said. "You always wish the numbers were more. I can't see why every kid in the county wouldn't come here for a free camp, get to hang out, throw the ball a little bit and have a little fun."

South Mountain's natural beauty is being celebrated at Emmaus High School.
Tuesday evening the Emmaus and Upper Milford Environmental Advisory Council presented the first of four programs about South Mountain.
Organizers say the programs are designed to further awareness about the forested mountain landscape that is one of the Lehigh Valley's dominant natural features.
A main goal is to promote the public's role as stewards.
"Our goal is really stewardship, looking at how we as this generation and the next generation can maintain the landscape and the resources we have up there to recreate and appreciate," said Steve Baier of the Emmaus and Upper Milford Environmental Advisory Council.
The program early discussed early settlement of the mountain. The following program will highlight recreational uses.

I love God (Jesus & Holy Spirit) I love myself (wife & children), I love others (my Bible, family members, friends, growing spiritually, growing financially, growing in godly & skillful wisdom, gospel music, chess tournaments, humour, encouraging, adventure and so on and so on.....)
In the early 90's, I started out chess in a local club under the eyes of the State's coach, Mr. Chris Ojeleye. I played my first recognised Augusto under 20 chess tournament in 1994. Despite my regular attendance and devotion to chess between 1994-1999, the only prize I won was 3rd position prize in the u-20 in 1996.
I left the chess scene until 2004, my coach called me to play for the State in National sports festival, Abuja, 2004. It was this same tournament that the Lord Almighty redeemed all my years of chess and helped me till I won a chess gold medal. To HIM alone be all the glory!
Like one speaker said "Our God is the greatest chess grandmaster" I believe him, for truly God is the greatest planner, he sees everything, he knows the intent of the hearts of men,He is a great strategist,He can not lose on time,He cannot be checkmated nor zugswanged,His moves(ways) are excellent and so on.......
Simply put "chess mirrors life"

Carlisle police received an additional report of a black bear sighting Sunday evening in the same area of two previous sightings.
The most recent report was taken around 8 p.m. at the Meals Mobile Home Park in the 1300 block of the Ritner Highway. Earlier, two black bears were spotted near Sherwood Drive, police said.
Carlisle residents living within a half-mile of the area were notified about the bears through the borough's Emergency Notification System.
Police said people should not approach the bears or leave food or trash in an area that would entice the bears to venture further into the residential area.
Game Commission officials say that homeowners who see a bear should stay calm and shout at the bear as if it were an unwanted dog but not approach it.
Last Sunday Game Commission officers tranquilized a young black bear in a cemetery near Gettysburg Pike and East Winding Hill Road, Upper Allen Township. They then relocated it to a more suitable environment.
Anyone seeing the bears in Carlisle should call the Carlisle Police Department at 717-243-5252.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan will visit Birmingham on Tuesday as part of his annual Back-to-School Bus Tour.
The U.S. Department of Education reports the theme of Duncan's fifth annual tour is "Partners in Progress," meant to highlight the states' commitment to "encourage reform and innovation and help all students to achieve success."
After visiting the Southwest last year, Duncan will visit cities in Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama this year.
"As our children head back to school, I am optimistic about our ability to elevate and strengthen education in America," said Duncan. "This bus tour through Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama is an opportunity to see innovation in education at work and discuss progress, promise and results."
Duncan will discuss changes in education and the challenges that accompany them. He will also as showcase investments the USDE has made in each state.
Details of Duncan's stop in Birmingham were not immediately available. Check back for details.

Vomitting - do you withhold food?
Vomitting is common in cats and for many reasons, so I won't wanna ask about that. ET does vomit occasionally, mostly undigested food. Each time after vomitting, he begs for food again, so I have never withhold food, he usually eats like a pig after each vomit.
Last nite, his vomit was abit different. He vomitted 4 bouts after just a mouthful of wet food. 2 bouts of food (quite a lot), and then 2 bouts liquid (not foamy or clear). There was no change in his diet very recently. These are abit different from his previous vomit, so I thought I had better withhold food for at least 12hrs as what I have read in some website. But immediately after cleaning up, he started begging for food. Can't bear to let him starve, so I just offered 1tbs of kibbles, then left him alone in his room. 1hr later, I went back to check on him, he begged again for more food. Added 2tbs of kibbles. Then I was hoping that would last him through the nite and to give his stomach a break, though I knew he will be hungry again in the middle of the nite.
I was woken up by a commotion in his room at 2.39am. Checked on him, he actually threw the empty ceramic plate on the floor, breaking it, thank goodness he wasn't hurt. He begged for food again. Gave him just less than 1tbs of kibbles again, all these while wondering if I should give him any at all.
My question is, should I even be withholding food, when ET seemed hungrier after vomitting. Most website I read, says to withhold food for 12-24hrs.

jsut throwing out my personal experiences here with vomiting. i never really know for sure when it happens if it's because she ate too fast, was stressed out because of the other cats, trying to just cough up a hairball, or what...
however, whenever she does throw up, i do usually give her something again right away (only if she actually threw up at least half her meal or so). but i odn't give her her normal food or kibble. i usually just boil up some plain organic chicken breast and cut it up into tiny pieces and add a little of the warm broth for her. i figure it's like giving a sick kid hot chicken soup. that always did wonders for me as a kid if i was sick.
good luck. hope ET feels better soon.

ET appears ok, not at all listless, still had his usual wet food portion at 6am. Didn't quite understand the cause of the vomit this time, its not the usual undigested food, not hairball, but anyway, he still eats like a pig. I had wanted to have ET rest his stomach, but he just won't tolerate hunger. He must be so mad that there was no food for him in the middle of the night that he threw his plate from the anti-ant tray for the 1st time in 1yr, breaking it. I usually will leave about a tbs of kibbles for him to eat in the middle of the nite.

i usually just wait awhile, like 20-30 minutes and then give them another chance lol. my cats only do it when they eat too fast or i (silly me) give more than the original portion because he still acts hungry. my youngest eats super fast (he doesn't throw up often but he does so more than my other two, who practically never do), i mean SUPER, and then he would beg for me and sure enough, the carpet had to wear it. so now he knows i won't give seconds and just wanders off.
i don't know if cats get upset stomachs like people do, i suppose they would. i usually give a blander version of the original food, depending on what it was.

I with hold food until the next feeding if my cat vomits up his food. How did he break the plate? was it on the counter? Looks like he has become accustomed to begging for food and getting it. He definitely won't starve if you withhold for 12 hours. The frequent begging will begin to create a weight problem if you continually give in. It will only get worse.
My cats don't beg for food, they know when they eat and when it's gone, it's gone, even if they have only picked through their meal, I will take it up after 30 minutes. Since they know that, there is no begging, they know when their meal times are and when I go for the food, that's when they get excited, and everyone has to wait their turn until all the bowls are filled and I hand them out one by one. I make the bowls right in front of them on the floor.

Oh 3gatos, he gets meal and treats timing. He only begs when its meal and treat time and when I missed the timing. Every other time, I don't usually give in unless I know I didn't give enough earlier and he is still hungry, I will probably just give less than 10 kibbles.
That night, he only had 1 mouthful of wet and started throwing up. So, he didn't get any food into his stomach at all and having thrown up everything, his stomach was probably empty and he was hungry. What I gave him was certainly not enough for a meal, cos it was only 1tbs of kibbles. The 2nd time I gave him 2tbs, he was satisfied after eating and stopped begging. Middle of the night 1tbs kibble is also another habit that I have never break, so when he didn't find any food, he probably got mad? The ceramic bowl was on an anti-ant tray which is approx 1.5" above ground, so I suspect he used his mouth, grab the plate and fling it onto the ground, thus breaking it.

Vomiting in cats is one way they regulate their stomach (hence the eating grass and getting sick), so it could be the ET is having problems digesting some of his food and he is throwing up to clear that out and try again (maybe try switching his food?). Good luck!

Maybe I should stock up chicken breast. I don't cook meat alot at home, I buy only when I wanna eat on that day. Just yesterday, ET vomitted again, but it looked like a tubular form of hairball. I have kinda stopped psyllium husk for at least 2weeks and he puked twice in 2 weeks, and I haven't seen fur in his poop of late, look like I have to start psyllium husk again and see how things go. But, he is always hungrier after each vomit, guess everything is still ok with him. Still play,doesn't look listless, eats alot more.

LAHUDOOD surprised at 21-1 in the Grade 1 Flower Bowl with a perfect rail trip and does it again.
Unnoticed may be the fact the well-bred filly has been in the exacta in eight of her last nine starts only finishing off the board when the turf at Arlington came up soft. That may be a problem with the forecast for more rain, but also will enhance her odds.
The powerful Shadwell Stable had been telling trainer Kiernan McLaughlin that Lahudood was the best filly in their barn.
The Flower Bowl proved that.
Her positional speed will enable her to get another fine trip on Monmouth's tight turns as Precious Kitten and Wait a While duel for the lead.
PASSAGE OF TIME bypassed a chance to run against the boys in England last weekend to stay against the fillies. She is 4-for-7, all on turf, and except for Lahudood has the best credentials to get the grueling 1 3/8th-mile distance.
NASHOBA'S KEY looms the favorite with a 7-for-7 record, but all of those victories have come on the West Coast, including four on grass and three on the Cushion track. She has only gone about this far once --- in her recent Grade 1 Yellow Ribbon victory. She, too, has stalking speed and a late kick, but will be overbet.
SIMPLY PERFECT, another European invader, comes out of six consecutive Group 1 races having won two of them. That gives her an advantage over most of the field, but she has never won beyond a mile.
Other contenders: Honey Ryder, Wait a While
Just Pretenders: Arravale, Danzon
WAY TO PLAY THIS RACE: Lahudood to win and place.
Box Lahudood, Passage of Time, Nashoba's Key, Simply Perfect in trifecta.

Unforeseen thrills experienced by a youngster may present themselves obliviously.
During the summer of 1973, I travelled to my Aitkens' ancestral place — the Magdalen Islands.
One day there, my grand-uncle crowded me, my siblings and our mother into his small car and off we went. He told us that we'd be meeting a special person who wrote books.
Our travel ended at a small cottage. My grand-uncle knocked on the front door, a tall lady answered, and soon a bearded man stepped from the doorway to see the small crowd on his front lawn. He had a beaming smile and jovial manner as he greeted us, introducing himself as Mr. Mowat.
One of my siblings spoke up, asking him what type of book he was writing. He paused in thought and then responded that his next book would be a very good read and possibly a popular seller. He kindly signed our autograph books and mentioned that it was time for him to return to his typewriter.
We all thanked him and wished him well.
Little did I know back then that someday I'd be positioned to pen my own book on Sydney's marine history — my recent hobby.
Past and present Cape Breton history authors are an inspiration to me, and include Robert J. Morgan and Elva E. Jackson.
And I've been fortunate to gain some guidance over the past several months locally from Neil F. Libbey, who I first met in May of 2010 during an exhibit on the history of Sydney harbour at the Lyceum in Sydney.
My good friend and research mentor has made helpful suggestions. And I'm very appreciative of his home computer time and cyber capabilities. Thank you so much, Neil.
Neil researched and wrote "Portside: An Early History of The Royal Cape Breton Yacht Club." He was also a commodore at the yacht club.

The wood imparts both flavor and color, as it does for Cognac and Armagnac. Like them, rum is a brandy, but it is made from sugar cane, rather than grapes. Some producers, like Mount Gay in Barbados, label one of their blends just that way: sugar cane brandy."

Puerto Rico
- Alison Cook,
, March 2000. Chef Alfredo Ayala shares some of his favorites. "Toward Arecibo, in the rural hamlet of Guayaney, we pay a call on octogenarian Francisco Rosario, whose mustache is frosted with sawdust. In a quirky studio heaped with blocks of tropical wood, Rosario hand-turns the handsome mortars and pestles (the island's original blenders) that are essential to Ayala's kitchen. A mortar made from the dense guayacán tree can add the weight of a bowling ball to your suitcase. And it would be a sin to fly away without paying respects to La Bombonera, the wonderful old coffee shop with famously cranky old waiters. At the long counter, facing an antique, domed coffee machine, you can watch as the big local oranges called chinas are squeezed to order. "But," says Ayala, "you only come here for one thing." I have come to think of that one thing as one of the world's great sandwiches: Ask for a mallorca (La Bombonera's signature snail-shaped yeast roll smothered in powdered sugar) with ham, egg, and cheese. You will be presented with an eccentric combination of salty, sweet, and fried-egg frizzle, all pressed Cuban style and bound up with gooey orange cheese. Chased with strong café con leche, it makes for the kind of memory that is better than any souvenir."

|[TowerTalk] hoist rope
|firstname.lastname@example.com (Jim Jarvis)
|Sat Aug 2 08:48:12 2003
Rich... I would not use anything smaller than 1/2 inch dacron. A little stretch in it...and there will be 1-2%...won't hurt any. Trying to work with smaller diameter lines is both hard on the hands, and will exhibit more stretch. Depending on length, marine store may be the place to go. Alternately, I would suggest a google search for rope sources. I used to use 'the ropeman', but don't think he's in business any longer. For anyone unclear as to rope types, nylon has too much stretch and polypropylene is not safe, for a variety of reasons, which I won't go into here. Woven Dacron line works well. Compound ropes, with kevlar core and dacron sheathing provide low stretch and high abrasion resistance; but they'll cost you an arm and a leg.

WM Destination ImagiNation team takes third at state
The fifth-grade girls' Destination ImagiNation team from West Mercer Elementary School took third place at the state competition at the end of March.
Destination ImaginNation is a creative problem-solving competition that groups of students rehearse and prepare for throughout the school year. Teams prepare for the competition's group challenge over the course of the year, but have only six minutes to prepare during its instant challenge.
Katherine Seely, Ellie Bernstein, Natalie Godby, Alexa Bauman and Lindsey Reitinger chose to create a live music video retelling the story of the popular song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." As part of the competition rules, each performance had a grand entrance and two side trips, which the girls created through props, as well as a technical aspect.
It was the second year for Bernstein and Bauman to participate in the program.
"We really liked it last year. We do instant challenges in class," said Bauman, who said they had so much fun that she and Bernstein are encouraging their younger brothers to give it a try next year.
All Destination ImagiNation teams on Mercer Island are coached by Mark Headlee, a fifth- and fourth-grade teacher at West Mercer.
"It's really fun. It gets you thinking creatively and working together," said Bernstein.
Mercer Island's other teams also placed well at the state competition, with the elementary improv team earning fourth place and the elementary structure team bringing home second place.

20 - Ambiguous toon names in group show incorrect status
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to a connected realm
2. Invite two players with the same toon name (but different realm) to one calendar event
3. Invite one of the players to group
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The event character list shows both players as online and in-group when in fact only one is.
What version of the product are you using?
dev head
Please provide any additional information below.
This bug arises when an ambiguous toon in an event list is invited to group, because
UnitInRaid(barename) will return true for multiple versions of the ambiguous toon
name, so all are shown as online and in group, when in fact only one of the
toons is online/in-group. Also, UnitInRaid("name-MyRealm") always fails, so that
API is basically useless for getting unambiguous answers in the presence of
cross-realm group members sharing a name. Fixing this problem would require
maintaining our own copy of the group roster with fully-qualified names, and
replacing all the calls to UnitInRaid/UnitInParty with fully-qualified lookups
to ensure we are checking the correct fully-qualified player name.
It's probably not worth the trouble to fix this right now(?), but if the Blizzard
Calendar is ever expanded to allow inviting players on other non-connected realms,
that would increase the chances of ambiguous name conflicts in an event
and would motivate a fix.

|[Story Name]
|Lonely nights
My wife divorced me a couple years ago, leaving me with our 8 year old daughter. I am drawing disability which isn't much at all, barely enough to live on for the two of us. Mandy is a near perfect little girl never complaining and always willing to help.
One afternoon I was feeling a little sexually excited dreaming about my wife and the good love making we once had and I knew I would have to go in the bedroom and mastrubate for a while. Nah, I don't date as most women will shy away when they find out that I am drawing a disability for depression.
"Mandy, I'm going to lay down for awhile." I said as she was watching Saturday morning cartoons.
"Ok Daddy." She said without even looking up. I went into my bed room and closed the door and stripped. My dick was already hard. I laid down and pulled a sheet over me and started to fondle my dick which is only 7 inches long, but very thin. I enjoy jacking off. Of course I would prefer a woman, but sense theres no woman around...I can do myself for pleasure. I was slowly stroking and had my eyes closed as the slight breeze came in from my open window. In a while I was wrapped in myself, not hearing anything from the outside as I very slowly stroked.
"Daddy?" Asked my daughter. I quickly came to my senses and covered myself.
"What is it Baby?" I asked wondering if she caught me.
"Can I lay down with you too?" She said as she entered my room and stood next to the bed.
"Sure, c'mon." Not even realizing what I was saying, but then after I said it, I realized that I was naked and with a hard on. Mandy was wearing panties which she normally did through the summer. She crawled in the sheet next to me and hugged me. I returned the hug and kissed her on the forehead.
"What was you doing?" She shyly asked.
"When?" I asked innocently.
"Just a few minutes ago?"
"Oh." I said a little embarrassed knowing she saw me."Its called jacking off."
"Why?" She asked with her head on my chest.
"It just feels good when I jack off until I cum." I whispered.
"Whats cum?" She innocently asked. I just hugged her. "Tell me." She asked again.
"Well, when I jack off, stuff comes out and that makes me feel good." I explained.
"Oh." She said contently, not really understanding what jacking off meant.
"Don't you play with your pussy sometimes?" I asked her.
"No." She quietly said. "Daddy?"
"Whats jacking off?" She said.
"What did you see me do?" I asked.
"You had your thing in your hand." She said.
"Well, thats jacking off." I explained.
"Can I watch?"She said. By this time my dick was soft.
"It isn't for little girls to see." I said smiling.
"I'm not little. I'm eight." She said looking at me.
"You sure you want to?" I asked.
"Uh huh." She said approvingly. I pulled down the sheet and exposed myself to her. She looked at it. "Its little." she said looking at my soft dick.
"Yes it is, but it gets hard." I explained.
"How do you make it hard?" She asked interested in this new thing.
"Oh I play with it." I said, not really knowing how to explain it. She reached down, then moved her hand away. "Its ok, it won't bite." I said. She smiled and wrapped her hand around it and I felt it start to get hard.
"Oh Daddy I feel it growing!" She exclaimed now using two hands.
"Yup its getting hard. You keep doing that, and it'll get really hard!" I gasped as she moved her hand up and down mimicing what she saw me do.
"Am I doing this right?" She asked.
"Yes." I hesitantly replied feeling her little hand on my now erect dick.
"When will white stuff come out?" She asked.
"Maybe you could do something more to help." I said with a shit eating grin.
"What do you want me to do?" She asked as she slowly stroked me.
"You could take off your panties." I replied.
"Oh, okay." She said. She removed her hand and took off her panties and through them on the floor then sat beside me and took her hand back to me dick. Will the white stuff come out now?"
"In a few minutes." I said as I moved my hand between her legs and traced a finger up her little crack.
"Oh, thats feels good Daddy, do it some more." She said as she stroked a little faster.
"Spread your knees a little wider. Yeah thats it." I said as I returned to finger her little pussy. Every so often she would press her pussy against my finger.
"That even feels better, Daddy." She whispered. "Will you have the white stuff soon?"
"Bend over and give it a long kiss." I said. She looked at me strangely.
"Ok Daddy. Like this?" She said as her head went down and kissed the head. I pushed her head down a little and very carefully.
"Suck on it." I commanded. She never replied but opened her mouth and started to suck the head as her hand was wrapped around it. My finger was playing with her little pussy as she sucked. "I have an idea." I told her.
"What is it?" She said as she took my dick out of her mouth.
"Here, move your legs to each side of my head. Yeah like that. Now lower yourself a little. Just like..yeah like that. Now suck me some more." I instructed. I used my tongue on her crack and tried to stick my tongue in her as far as I could.
"Oh Daddy, that really feels good!" She said raising her head. I pushed her head back down. We were in a 69 position for a while then I moved her off me.
"Is the white stuff coming?" She asked.
"Almost. Now you lay down." I said as she laid down. "Spread your legs."
"Like this?" She asked spreading her legs really wide.
"Not too far. Yeah, like that." I said getting on top of her. I reached down and guided my dick to her hole. The head went in.
"Wow, it feels like you are tearing me apart." She said.
"Does it hurt?" I asked.
"No. It feels good." She said looking.
"Then I will put a little more in." I stated. I slowly and very carefully eased in until she had all of me in her. When I broke her cherry she just grunted and then met me until we were belly to belly. I eased back out and then back in and started a rhythm, fucking her. In a few minutes she was bucking hard against me.
"Daddy, I have to pee!" She explained but still matched the rythym. I didn't stop but fucked faster. She shook. "Ohhhhh Daddy!!" She yelled having her first orgasm. I pulled out of her and shoot my load all over her belly. "Wow! Look at that!" She said. I started to jack off shooting the "white stuff" all over her, then I reached back and entered her again and shoot more and this time it was even more intense, then I just laid on her.
"Did you like that?" I asked.
"Oh yes. Can we do it again?" She asked as her fingers was playing with my cum on her belly.
"Sure if you want to, but you have to suck it hard again." I said as she got down and put it in her mouth again. Sure enough it started to get hard again. "Get on top." I commanded. She turned and straddled me and reached down and guided it to her pussy. My dick went right in owing to our cum for extra lubrication I guess. She took it all in one thrust. Then she started her own rhythm fucking me. It wasn't 5 minutes and my dick started to swell and started to shoot deep in her.
"I feel it Daddy. I feel the white stuff in me." She said panting. She got off after I came and sucked my slowly softening dick.
Couple months later:
I was sitting in my easy chair. We have been fucking every night and sometimes she even had to talk me into it.
"Daddy?" She said as she came in the living room.
"Whats wrong?" I asked.
"I don't know Daddy. My belly is getting big." She said as she raised her tee shirt. Sure enough, her belly WAS getting big. My daughter was pregnant.
"You are going to have a baby." I smiled.
"Me? Am I really?" She said examining her belly. "Wow. A baby!"
"From now on, you only get to suck me and me you. Unless........" I said as my idea dropped off.
"Unless what?" She said.
"Well, I could put it in your butt." I said.
"IN my...butt?" She answered feeling her butt cheeks.
"Sure." I said. I got up and dropped my pants. Then I leaned her over the sofa. I spread her little butt and guided my dick.
"That hurts Daddy." She said pushing back.
"I have a little of it in you now." I said still trying to work more in.
"Really???" She asked and tried to look under her. Little by little I finally had my whole dick in her.
"I'm in." I said proudly.
"That feels funny." She remarked.
"Does it hurt?" I asked all the way in her.
"Not anymore." She said smiling. I eased back carefully and slowly pushed forward. Then I slowly eased back out again and thrust forward again. "Oh Daddy, I like this." Then I started to slowly speed up until in a few moments I was fucking her hard.
"Oh wow. Oh wow." She said as I fucked her hard.
"I'm starting to cum Baby! Turn around and open your mouth!" I yelled. My dick opped out and she turned around and opened her mouth as I started to cum. She caught the first spurt buit missed the second as it hit her on the chin but she used her tongue to lick it clean and the next spurt found its mark.. She reached up and started to jack me off and tasting the cum, then she started to suck it until I was dry. I moved back when there was no more to give.
"Daddy I liked that too. But my butt hole hurts a little." She said fingering her well used ass hole.
"It'll loosen up each time we do it." I said. "We have to do this until after the baby comes."
"Ok Daddy, then maybe you can put it back in front?" She asked.
"Yes Baby. I'll put it in your front after the baby comes and when you have another baby then I can use your butt." I said almost out of breath.
"Oh boy! I think I like it in my front better though but i like it in my butt too." She said in deep thought.
"You'll get used to it." I smiled.
"I'm already used to it. Are we married now?" She asked innocently.
"Yes, Baby, we're married. We belong to each other now." I smiled.
NOTE: We have been married now for 30 years and we have 4 sons and 3 daughters. Isn't life grand?

Sunday, with Oregon State football
The final installment of our spring football position-by-position reports, this one on the secondary, where three quality athletes return in RCB Brandon Hardin, S Lance Mitchell, and LCB Jordan Poyer.
The Beavers lose starting left corner James Dockery and one of the starting safeties, Suaesi Tuimaunei, off last season's secondary that drew mixed reviews overall. ... statistically, OSU ranked 79th nationally and No. 7 in the Pac-10 in pass defense and 100th nationally and No. 9 in the conference in pass efficiency defense. ... not good, but remember it all goes together with the rest of the defense. ... opposing teams that ran with impunity vs. OSU (the Beavers ranked 89th in that area) found it much easier to throw the ball downfield.
Heyward has good enough talent at both corner spots to keep fresh bodies on the field late in games. ... none of the CB candidates fill the bill as classic shut-down corners and some of them look a tad under-sized. ... but there are few, if any Pac-12 WRs who can blow by the likes of track star Keynan Parker, or Poyer, who is playing baseball this spring and also practicing part-time with the football team.
Three of the starting spots in the secondary seem set with Hardin at one corner spot, Mitchell at safety and Poyer on the left side. ... the other safety position seems up for grabs with Josh LaGrone and Anthony Watkins battling several other players.
Mitchell, with 21 straight starts and 157 career tackles, is an all Pac-12 candidate who has the potential to be one of the top players at his position in the country. He had 74 tacklers in 2010, No. 3 on the team, and was Pac-10 Def. Player of the Week after making 18 tackles in the season opener vs. TCU (that was NOT a good night for the OSU LBs). ... he is this team's top defensive playmaker on his good days.
Poyer is likely to be remembered as one of the top all-around athletes to play at OSU, but first he's got two more seasons as a baseball player/cornerback/kick returner and that's exciting news for Riley and special teams coach Bruce Read. ... he is also an all Pac-12 candidate after a 2010 season that saw him roll up 1,109 all-purpose yards (92.4 per game). ... he was No. 2 in the Pac-10 at KO return yards per attempt (27.8) and could be OSU's top return man in 2011, given the situation with James Rodgers (coming off two knee surgeries). ... Poyer moved from safety to cornerback before 2010, had 34 tackles as a position player and a memorable 65-yard INT return in the win over USC.

Comment - With quicker, shiftier players available who might be better as cover corners, we wonder (again) if Hardin would be better at safety opposite Mitchell as opposed to being one of the biggest CBs in college football at a LB-like 6-2, 220. ... Hardin - a big hitter, one of the biggest in the Pac-12 - may also think his best position is safety, but Heyward insisted last season that Hardin belonged at corner. ... if OSU can stop the run more effectively and get after opposing quarterbacks, this secondary could be very good and rack up a lot of interceptions. ... it ranks very high on the "ball skills' chart. ... however if the Beavers are suspect up front, can't stop the run, and can't pressure the passer (we're visualizing Stanford QB Andrew Luck here), then heaven help the guys in the secondary, no matter how athletic some of them may be.

Updating the Press-Register's previous breaking news alert on Alabama's basketball hire ...
TUSCALOOSA -- VCU coach Anthony Grant has agreed in principle to become Alabama's next basketball coach, sources told the Press-Register earlier today.
Grant spoke today with UA officials, and a deal is expected to be finalized and announced soon.
He reportedly broke the news to his team at VCU this evening after nearly 48 hours spent mulling an job offer as the top candidate in Alabama's search. He and his wife toured campus Wednesday.
The offer could reach near $2 million with incentives, sources have said.
Today's decision from Grant comes after a tumultous day for the SEC coaching landscape. Kentucky fired Coach Billy Gillispie after two seasons, and soon after, Billy Donovan made a statement that he had decided to remain as the coach at Florida.
Grant, 42, is a Miami native and played at Dayton in the 1980s. He worked his way through south Florida high schools and held assistant gigs at Stetson and Marshall before in 1996 beginning an 11-year stop under Billy Donovan at Florida. After helping the Gators to the 2006 national title, Grant received his first head coaching job at VCU, which has won at least 24 games each year and reached two of the past three NCAA tournaments.
When Donovan briefly accepted a job in 2007 with the Orlando Magic, Grant was widely reported to be in the line to succeed him with the Gators.
One of the hottest names on the mid-major coaching circuit the past two years, Grant led VCU to a 24-10 record this season and No. 11 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Rams dropped a 65-64 first-round heartbreaker to sixth-seeded UCLA.
He has since spurned interest from a number of colleges, including LSU and South Carolina last year.
He will now become the first African-American men's basketball coach in the history of the University of Alabama.
