Dog obsessed with drinking water - Answered by Dr. Van Lienden

dog drinking too much water
My vet has just diagnosed my lab with generally being very healthy except he
drinks too much water
. His kidneys are not concentrating his urine. After several sets of blood, urine and xray tests, he was diagnosed with healthy kidneys but after monitoring we realized he drinks way too much water. (We had a kiddie pool all summer which may have caused this problem to start). As best as I can understand, his kidneys are healthy but not being used because of the large amount of water he is drinking. We always knew our lab would overeat if his food was not monitored but now we have to regulate his water intake as well. Based on his weight, the vet has calculated he needs just under 1 litre water per day. We now give him water 4 times a day. We live in a cold climate so right now the weather is not a factor. I am not sure what we will do when the hot summer days come. As this problem was new to me I thought I would share it as its sounds like others may experience this with their dog. This diagnosis was from the vet after numerous tests ruling out diabetes, etc.

The Changing Contours of World Mission and Christianity: Translatability and future of Christianity: Editor's note: The following post arises from small group reflections from The Rise of Global Christianity, 1910–2010, taught by Dr. Todd Johnson at Boston University in the Fall of 2010. Led by doctoral students, the small groups discussed lectures given by Christian scholars in various disciplines, including significant changes that have occurred in global Christianity over the past 100 years.
It was fitting that our last guest lecturer for Global Christianity, Dr. Jay Gary of Regent University, tried to encourage the class to think about the 'future scenarios' for Christianity in the next century. Dr. Gary looked at 15 scenarios that are projected into the next century, such as the rich-poor gap, ecological crisis, technology, many of them dilemmas of difference, and encouraged us to think about which might be more relevant to the future of Christianity.
Dr. Gary encouraged us to use our intuition to envision the factor we thought would be determinants of Christianity growth and transformation. A few of us thought that technology was important for Christianity. Hee Jin discussed how churches in Korea were already trying to close the technological generation gap by engaging in smart networking and creating applications about church activities and spirituality for smart-phones. We discussed, however, the fine line churches must walk between becoming too commercialized and thus loosing the mystery and tradition that goes beyond refashioning spirituality to the mundane and popular vernaculars of the day.
Many of the future scenarios that emerged predict a much darker future of conflict and competition for Christianity. Many settings envisioned were resonant with worldwide clashes of differences and how Christian communities might deal with conflict and rise above it. One of many concerns was for an East Asia in conflict with the West. But such generalizations are hard to pin down. Some of the situations projected intra-religiously cultural conflict – through Christianity of the North clashing with the rising Christianity of the South (Phillip Jenkins, The Next Christendom). Perhaps this would play out less in terms of North-South, but more along the lines of a more Charismatic, personal faith in contrast to a more traditional-historical and corporate faith. To some, the common prediction of an inter-religious clash between Islam and Christianity resounds as more likely. As The Atlas of Global Christianity aptly states, the history of Christianity indicates that growth is fragmentary and punctuated. Christianity has risen to prominence and fallen from many regions, only to rise in others (decline in North Africa, and the fast growth in sub-Saharan Africa are just one set of examples). By contrast, Islamic growth tends to be steady and territorial. As Brad pointed out, scholars like Lamin Sanneh and Andrew Walls argue that the translatability of Christianity is part of the reason for this fragmentation and punctuated growth.
Perhaps it is migration patterns that will be most likely to decide the future of Christianity. Christianity has defied predictions of decline due to secularization and the privatization of religion. The translatability of Christianity could very well create more fragmentation, yet with it seeds of renewal to forge future adaptations.

Getting To The Airport
Even getting to the airport can sap your strength, if not your wallet. Consider the alternatives.
A car service is certainly convenient. But at $160 one way to LaGuardia' $170 to JFK and $200+ to Newark, getting to the airport can cost more than your air fare. (Mind you, these are the advertised rates, so I wouldn't be shy about asking for promotions and discounts when you call to book.)
But car services aren't just expensive, they're also wasteful. Couldn't solo travelers share a car with others in a "limo-pool"? Is one passenger in a Lincoln Town Car an efficient use of limited space on I-95?
How about Connecticut Limousine? Now there's a misnomer! Since when is a bus or cramped van a limo? And try explaining that name on the receipt on your expenses to your company's accountant. "Really boss… it was just a bus!"
On a few occasions I've actually rented a car at the airport, driven home and then dropped the car the next day in Stamford. A day's car rental is about half the cost of a car service. OK… so call me cheap.
Some regular fliers hire neighborhood teens to drive their own car to the airport, drop them off and drive home, repeating the process on their return. That's cheaper than a car service, but puts double the miles on your car.
My preferred airport transfer is in my own car. Airport parking is $33 a day. Not cheap, but certainly convenient. And nobody complains about my cigar smoking enroute to the airport.
Another alternative, believe it or not, is Metro-North. Get off at 125th Street and catch a cab or livery and you're at LaGuardia in about 15 minutes. Future plans call for some Metro-North trains to travel over the Hell's Gate bridge, through Queens and into Penn Station. That could be a great chance to add a LaGuardia station with shuttle bus service to the terminals. But it's a rail link our kids might see in their lifetimes, not ours.
If you're heading to Newark, definitely consider Amtrak. Most Northeast corridor trains stop at Newark Airport where a convenient connection to the airport monorail has you at the terminals in just minutes. The train sure beats the Cross-Bronx and GWB any day. And fares are as low as $23 one way.
The proponents of ferry service on Long Island sound keep tempting us with talk about direct water-borne service to LaGuardia, but I'll believe it when I see it. The old Pan Am Water Shuttle (a high speed ferry) couldn't make a go of it carrying expense-account business fliers from the Marine Air Terminal to midtown, so I'm skeptical that operators could fill ferry boats to Stamford and Norwalk. And do you really want a sea cruise in the winter?
Mind you, New York's three airports aren't the only choices. Westchester County airport offers non-stop jet service to many cities and offers a variety of major carriers including JetBlue. Bridgeport's Sikorsky airport used to get you to such cities as Philadelphia and Newark, but service now is very limited and expansion of both of these airports is challenged by local residents. Hartford's Bradley Airport offers another alternative, including low fare carriers like Southwest… if you don't mind a two-hour drive to get to the airport, north of Hartford.
One reader extols the virtues of New Haven's Tweed Airport where US Air flies to Philly where you can connect to most anywhere.
Clearly, the trip to and from the airport can start and end a trip on a very sour, and expensive, note. But with a little imagination, this summer's vacation can end on a thriftier note.

Cheap ground transportation from Fairfield County to LaGuardia is available via the M60 bus at 125th street. I figure it takes about 2 hours and costs $2 plus the Metronorth fare.
JFK is a bit more difficult/expensive: either pay $15 for the express bus from Grand Central, or take the subway from Grand Central to the AirTrain to the airport.
Newark turns out to be the easiest, because as you note, many Amtrak trains drop passengers off right at the station.

We had a good experience with SmartPark at JFK last week (http://www.smartparkjfk.com). You leave your car there and a shuttle takes you to your terminal. Cost approximately $12/day. I actually preferred it to parking in the lot because they had our car ready when we arrived - no hunting around in the giant parking lot.

stupid undergrounds? What is it about these throwaway
fanzines and unreadable rants, these neo-tattoos and
recycled apocalypses, this mountainous accumulation of
declassified factoids, these bloody smears, this incredible
noise? Why wade through these piles of nano-shit? Why
submit oneself to these hysterical purveyors, these
hypertheories and walls of sound? Why insist on picking
this particular species of nit? [...]
In the stupid underground any innovation
can be, at one and the same time, utterly radical and
worthless in advance. The trajectory past %cliche% is at
stake here as well, a trajectory that takes us not into
further innovation but into repetition itself: the
repetition of a cultural adventure long after its
domestication, but as if it were still an adventure. The
trajectory is thus seldom a straight line into the beyond,
a singular line of flight through becoming-imperceptible,
into the invisible. The complexity of these movements
suggests four trajectories, or four dimensions of the
trajectory as such:
to the apotheosis of stupidity, as sublime becomes
ridiculous as if without transition;
to the violent limit of the tolerable, the
very limit of recuperability;
to disappearance past the boundary of cultural
representation, a disappearance so critical that it
gives the lie to every other form of criticism;
and to what turns out, in the very midst of an
innovative frenzy, to be stupid repetition, an
autonomous, automatic repetition that drains cultural
forms of every meaning, even that of parody: the
stupefying force of repetition, which, we are told,
is the very trace of the death drive.[...]
The stupid underground is available to any ontological
or ideological reformulation,and hence a place to test the following paradox:
all cultural zones are both overdetermined and blank. [...]
Punk nihilism
was never more than the nihilism of the commodity itself.
You should not credit Malcolm McLaren with having realized
this just because he was once pro-situ. All he wanted was
to sell more trousers without boring himself to death;
indeed he is proof that the guy with the flashiest
*ressentiment* sells the most rags. And if he wasn't
bored, can he be said to have advanced the same favor to us? [...]
Everyone there knows all about
recuperation and it makes no difference. One can display
the most stringent self-criticism about the impossibility
of revolt and the next day proclaim the subversive effects
of noise, as if one were Russolo himself, Russolo in the
first place. The stupid underground is marked by the
simultaneous critical understanding of the fatality of
recuperation and a general indifference to the fact; it
ignores what it knows, and knows it. It acts as though it
forgets, until it virtually forgets, what it always
recalls. It responds to every critical reminder, even
those it throws at itself, with a *So what, fuck you.*[...]
[The stupud underground]is merely a symptom of order itself.
Everything has been
recuperated, but what is recuperated and put to death
returns, returns ferociously, and it is the return of its
most immanent dead that most threatens every form of order.
The repressed does not come back as a living being but as
the ghost it always was, and not to free us but to haunt
us. It returns as repetition; when we see it in the
mirror, as our mirror, we pretend not to recognize it. The
fury of the punk or skinhead is the fury of this stupid
repetition, and it is far more destructive than the most
brilliant modernist invention. It ruins everything and
leaves it all still in place, still functioning as if it
mattered, never relieving us of its apparition, never
pretending to go beyond it, draining it of value without
clearing it away. That is why one cannot dismiss it
according to the logic of the new, whereby the only
admissible revolutionary force must conform to the movement
of progress and innovation. The rhetoric of innovation is
parroted by the stupid underground, because it still obeys
the superficial form of the avant-garde. But it obeys it
long after it is dead, and as if that death didn't matter,
as if history had never occurred in the first place, as if
everything retro just suddenly appeared, in all its
original vacuity. As if it were even better, more
powerful, once it is dead, so long as one insists that it
is and pretends that it isn't. It is the blind repetition
of every exhausted logic far past the point of termination
that generates the most virulent negation. The stupid
persistence of the dead has taken the place of the
critical. [...]
'labyrinths and jokes' was originally released on lp in 1998 in a small
edition of only 500 copies. six tracks of diverse and creative noise
from six completely bizarre bands. 1. nautical almanac's anti-system -
started in 1994 as a party killing trash-noise rock band, the nautical
almanac has since developed into a two piece of incredibly talented
machine builders. 2. isis and werewolves - this is punk prog at it's
sloppiest and goofiest. the drummer and guitarist were such lazy
burnout's that the keyboardist left town to create a heavy metal
monster called andrew w.k. the drummer and tape manipulator aaron
dilloway would go on to form the band wolf eyes, while the guitarist
steve kenney moved to new orleans to play in the hard rock outfit metal
wolf. 3. ron of japan - this duo of 15 year old female misfits have
since gone into retirement. but what they innocently recorded in their
bedroom in 1995 ended up being some heavily influential music. 4.
andrew wilkes- krier - before he was known as andrew w.k., andrew was
going under his full name and playing a wide variety of insane noise.
the track here is a dark cloud of droning violins and ghost like
screeches and moans. 5. the mini-systems - the most unhealthy band of
all time. the mini-systems was nate young's project prior to his
forming of wolf eyes. his partner was one anthony miller, a musical
genius who now goes by the name of maximum cloud. at one time they were
the kings of circut-bent junk noise, though drugs and love would
eventually get in the way, leaving the two no choice but to disband. 6.
the beast people - the ugliest, sickest growlers ever! though he won't
admit it to your face, the beast people was a performance art group led
by aaron dilloway of wolf eyes. occasional contributors to the project
included james harper of nautical almanac, andrew w.k., detroit noise
dj andy roach, and nate young. completely psychedelic cave noise.
cut-up growls and screams, recorded completely in the red. fucking
sick! as crude as it gets! on hanson

U.S. soldiers stationed in South Korea have recently conducted an exercise aimed at destroying North Korea's weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) by practicing a ship-to-shore air assault from a South Korean warship, the infantry division said Thursday.
The U.S. Army forces carried out the exercise, called "Warrior Strike 7" at Camp Stanley in Euijeongbu, just north of Seoul, and the Rodriguez Live Fire Complex near the inter-Korean border, it said.
"The exercise is designed to enhance the battalions' skills in counter-WMD operations," according to a Facebook account on the 2nd Infantry Division. It did not reveal when the exercise took place.
The drill involved the Dokdo, the South Korean warship, and was the first ship-to-shore air exercise mobilizing a South Korean naval vessel, it said.
Aboard a helicopter, U.S. soldiers practiced an infiltration into a mock facility of the enemy in a bid to strengthen their capability to destroy the WMD in a speedy manner, it said. South Korean servicemen are known to have taken part in the drill.
The move came as North Korea's nuclear and missile programs are advancing, posing a threat to peace and security on the divided peninsula.
North Korea on Sunday fired a new intermediate-range ballistic missile which it claims can carry a heavy nuclear warhead, insisting that the U.S. mainland is within its striking means.
About 28,500 American troops are stationed in South Korea as a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean War, which ended in a truce, not a peace treaty.

'Idol' Recap: Top 24 finalists are named, plus a few surprise extras
For those of you losing sleep over whether or not Adam Brock would be a part of the Top 24 on "American Idol," you can relax–the devoted young father with the soulful voice has made it through to the semifinals.
"You're going to have a beautiful life, because you're going on through and you made it baby!" congratulated judge Steven Tyler. "Look at this man, I'm in love!"
Also joining Brock was Jeremy Rosado, who wowed the judges by holding an impossibly long high note during his rendition of Carrie Underwood's "I Know You Won't."
"There's no way we wouldn't want you in the Top 24 this year," said judge Jennifer Lopez. "It was unanimous. Congratulations!"
Shannon Magrane, perhaps best remembered for Tyler telling her father, famed baseball star Joe Magrane, that the 16-year-old was "hot, humid and happening," made it through with her version of "The Trouble With Love Is."
"Does your daddy still hate me?" Tyler asked rhetorically after giving Magrane the good news.
Sharp-shooting Mississippian Skylar Laine, this season's answer to country superstar Reba McEntire, made it through–and promised Tyler some fresh game.
"I'll bring you some deer meat," laughed Laine. "(Judge Randy Jackson) should bring you the crawfish–he's from Louisiana!"
Hallie Day, who survived a suicide attempted and was an early favorite of Lopez's, made it through, as did country crooner Chase Likens and second-time hopeful Aaron Marcellus.
Deandre Brackensick, notable for a mass of corkscrew curls and a high falsetto voice, wowed the judges with his stirring performance of "This Woman's Work."
"This year was different," Lopez told the second-time contestant. "We could see your confidence had grown, we could see that your voice had grown. We'd be crazy, crazy people if we didn't ask you to be in the Top 24."
Hollie Cavanaugh faced the judges with pals Shelby Tweten and Ariel Sprague, but only Cavanaugh advanced through to the Top 24.
Early favorite David "Mr. Steal Your Girl" Leathers, Jr. was eliminated, losing his spot to fellow baby-faced singer Eben Francekewitz.
"Eban's a great guy, he deserves it," said a gracious Leathers, Jr. "I mean, I'm devastated, but you know, this is not going to stop me–I'm going to keep doing what I do, and I'm definitely going to come back season."
Happily for fans of Leathers, Jr., there's a chance that we'll see him keep doing what he does before next year–"American Idol" is adding a 13th male contestant to the mix on next Tuesday's two-hour live show.
"In a dramatic turn of events, the judges felt compelled to reinstate another guy into the competition," explained host Ryan Seacrest.
Leathers, Jr., Johnny Keyser, Richie "Cowboy" Law and Jermaine "Gentle Giant" Jones are the four wild cards that will join the Top 12 boys next Tuesday.
Up next: "American Idol" presents not two, but THREE live two-hour elimination shows that will determine season 11's Top 12 finalists.

Game on, if not every light
Board vote keeps license in place
Hurricane Irene may have blown through Massachusetts days ago, but she continues to cause problems for many residents of the state who are without power, and nearly caused an issue for tonight's Patriots-Giants preseason finale.
The Foxborough selectmen and women held an emergency meeting yesterday to discuss the license for the game and whether it should be pulled because of public safety concerns. However, the board voted, 5-0, in favor of keeping the license in place.
Last night, Patriots spokesman Stacey James said that if town officials had voiced legitimate concerns about public safety, the club would have elected not to play the game, with no vote necessary.
However, most if not all of the power along Route 1 - the primary thoroughfare to and from the stadium - has been restored, so there will be light as fans travel to and from the game, which will begin at 7:30 p.m. and end just before 11.
The Patriots have found themselves a topic of discussion among their neighbors all week, though not because of the upcoming season - because Gillette Stadium got power back around 9 p.m. Monday while other parts of the town are still in the dark. Some residents wondered whether the team had gotten preferential treatment from National Grid.
But as of last night, Gillette was not running off the Foxborough substation that serves most of the homes and businesses in the town.
There was a brief power outage during the 1996 AFC Championship game at the old Foxboro Stadium, which was tied to the Foxborough substation. Shortly thereafter, in the interest of public safety, owner Robert Kraft invested a significant amount of money to upgrade the substation in South Wrentham and create a redundancy.
If the power supply from Foxborough were interrupted, the South Wrentham line to the stadium would kick in.
Foxboro Stadium is long gone, but Gillette Stadium is tied to both facilities. As it happened, the Wrentham substation came back on line first this week; there was no preferential treatment given to Gillette.
Kraft has tried to help the town as it waits to have full power restoration, donating the use of two large generators, one of which is being used to power the senior center. And Kraft-owned flood lights are being used at intersections without power.
Catch this one There's no way of knowing at this point whether recently signed receiver Tiquan Underwood will make the 53-man roster, but he certainly will be remembered - for his hairstyle.
Underwood, who was waived by the Jaguars a week ago and signed by New England Monday, sports a high-top fade style made famous by Kid of the early '90s rap duo Kid 'N Play.
A 2009 seventh-round draft pick for Jacksonville out of Rutgers, Underwood, who is close friends with Devin McCourty, said he began growing his hair last season, figuring he can take a sartorial risk while he's still young. He gets a lot of attention because of it, but he likes the style.
Underwood played in 10 games last year for the Jaguars, making eight catches for 111 yards.
"I'm just here trying to help the team the best I can, whether it's special teams or offense,'' he said.
Underwood is listed at 6 feet 1 inch, 183 pounds.
Night to remember Since the Patriots will be on the road for opening weekend, which coincides with the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America, the team has announced that it will commemorate the day during tonight's game. Former offensive lineman Joe Andruzzi and his three brothers, all of whom are New York City firefighters, as well as their father, a former New York City police office, will serve as honorary game captains. Members of all five branches of the military as well as local police officers and firefighters will be on hand . . . The Patriots claimed defensive back Antwaun Molden off waivers from the Texans. The 6-1, 200-pound fourth-year player appeared in 14 games with Houston last season . . . Offensive lineman Marcus Cannon was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list. Cannon was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in April.

Lauren's Everything-in-Reach Kitchen
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Lauren
- Location:
- San Diego, CA
- Square Feet:
- 76
- Division:
- Rent
- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- Three things: 1) The galley layout, which maximizes the small space and means everything is always in reach. 2) Our landlord's decision to knock out a wall and move the fridge out to the dining room, which sounds strange but opens the kitchen up immensely. And 3) The east-facing skylight, which brings in lots of natural light, especially early in the mornings.
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- When we moved in, the kitchen had no counter space on either side of the stove. We immediately set out to Ikea and hacked a freestanding base cabinet to include a butcher block countertop and a tiny raised bar, which has become the workhorse in our kitchen: it makes pulling ingredients out of our awkwardly placed fridge a cinch and provides a place to rest a drink, a safe spot for a laptop or cookbook, and a place for friends to lean on and chat when we're cooking for a crowd. The best part is that it's freestanding, so we can take it with us when we leave.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- We spend a lot of time in the kitchen and enjoy almost every meal, but if we had to pick a favorite, it'd be the few times a year we cue up Dr. John, make a batch of Sazeracs, and simmer an enormous pot of Chuck Taggart's gumbo for all our friends.

This is a write up which featured in MBICEM's newsletter (my graduation college). Mbithec was the theatre group we had there. Our group started it and it is still going strong. Here we go...
Mbithec Diaries
"O re Chik chik, Chik o re sa…"
The theatre group from MBICEM had taken part in the Inter-college Street play competition in Dilli Haat. This was when we were in the old campus at Nizamuddin. The group realized in Dilli Haat that before doing a great play, they have to be a GROUP first. A theatre group anthem was necessary.
We had this breathing exercise where we would stand in a circle and say O re chik chik, chik or re saa. We composed, we sang it together and the journey started. We did not win at Dilli Haat, but Mbithec was born.
Mbithec was nothing else but MBicem Theatre Club.
"…Dekho humko, ayega maza…"
We had decided to meet four times every week at 8 am. We would come early and continue doing things which was more of fun and nothing else. We invented games and exercises and we kept having fun. None of us knew how theatre groups rehearse, but we would work very hard and in the process learn things. We started taking part in other college fests and we were winning.
Mbithec was shining.
"Saas manga, saas manga re…"
After three years of having fun and establishing the theatre group, we did not realize that we had created this culture called Mbithec. We were all very sad while passing out of MBICEM. But we were proud to know that our juniors continued with the tradition of 'having fun'.
Wishing them all the luck.

Super Size Me Morgan Spurlock subjects other people to 30 days of their own personal hell on his new FX series 30 Days, which debuts tonight at 10 p.m. ET. On the series, a Christian will live in a Muslim community, a homophobe will live with gay people, fossil fuel-dependent 30-somethings will live off the grid, and a mother will binge drink to try to identify with her daughter's life. On tonight's premiere, Spurlock and his fiancee move from New York to the midwest, where they'll work minimum-wage jobs for a month.
The Washington Post says "[t]he series is most engaging when it stops hammering points home and indulges in the can't-help-it pettiness and whimsical unpredictability that help make reality TV so engaging."
The series doesn't quite compare to his Oscar-nominated documentary, according to the LA Times' review, which says that "isn't as fresh, both because Spurlock's not in it enough and because the 'Super Size Me' premise, superimposed onto other topics, doesn't hold up as well. And so you can begin to feel trapped in the premise. The actual people used aren't as camera-savvy as Spurlock, and the outsourcing of the role hurts the series."
But The New York Times notes that while the show "uses an appealing patchwork of documentary formats … Spurlock proves he has a gift for gimmickry, and his cheerful game-for-anything style makes his borrowings forgivable and even laudable."

Game 11 - Chicago State (4-8) at Valparaiso (9-1) - Saturday, Dec. 15, 2007 - 7:05 p.m.
The Matchup: Valparaiso looks to extend its seven-game overall winning streak and 11-game home winning streak tonight as the Crusaders host former Mid-Con foe Chicago State. Valpo has faced the Cougars 32 times on the hardwood, and holds a 29-3 advantage in the all-time series.
Last Meeting: Urule Igbavboa registered a triple-double with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, and Valparaiso used its best shooting performance of the 2006-2007 season to defeat Chicago State on Feb. 5, 2007 in Chicago, Ill., 91-76. The Crusaders hit 33 of their 49 attempts from the field for a .673 shooting percentage, over 100 points better than their next-best effort this year. Igbavboa hit seven of his nine field goal attempts on his way to the first triple-double for Valpo in recent history. Valpo also set season highs for points scored and assists (27). Shawn Huff, fresh off of being named the Mid-Continent Conference Player of the Week, set a new career high with 25 points, hitting nine of his 13 shots from the field, including three 3-pointers.
Last Time Out: Valparaiso closed the first half on a 9-0 run to tie its game with Evansville Tuesday evening at the Athletics-Recreation Center, and followed with an 8-0 run late in the second half to break open a close game, going on to win by a final tally of 75-67. The win extends the Crusader winning streak to seven games, the longest since the 2002-2003 season. Samuel Haanpää paced the Crusaders with a game-high 20 points, scoring 15 of his 20 in a seven-minute span coming out of the break. Urule Igbavboa added 18 for his seventh straight game in double figures, while Jarryd Loyd chipped in 15 points, five rebounds and four assists off the bench.
On the Air: Today's game, like every game this season, can be heard live on the Valpo Sports Radio Network, a four-station entity carrying Crusader athletics all over Northwest Indiana, and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics. Originating from WVUR, 95.1 FM in Valparaiso, the Valpo Sports Radio Network also includes WEFM, 95.9 FM in Michigan City and WAKE, 1500 AM in Valparaiso. Veteran broadcaster Todd Ickow returns for his 17th season on play-by-play, while WVUR's Adam Amin will handle the color commentary. The game can also be seen online through the Horizon League Network at www.horizonleaguenetwork.tv.
9-1: Nine conference championships. Seven NCAA Tournament appearances. A magical run to the Sweet 16. 302 wins. These are just some of the accomplishments that Crusader head coach Homer Drew and his players have piled up during Drew's first 18 seasons at the helm of the Valpo men's basketball program. But none of Drew's teams have accomplished what this year's squad has: winning nine of the season's first ten games. The previous best start under Drew came from the 1998-1999 team, which started 8-1 before dropping its tenth game.
300th Game at the ARC: Today's game against Chicago State marks the 300th Valpo men's basketball game in the history of the Athletics-Recreation Center. The venue, which opened Nov. 27, 1984 with a game against Western Michigan, has provided the Crusaders with one of the best home-court advantages in all of college basketball. Valpo is 207-92 (.692) all-time at the ARC, and has finished above .500 at the facility each of the last 15 seasons. Last season, ESPN.com's Kyle Whelliston named Valparaiso as one of his five best college basketball game atmospheres as part of the website's Student Spirit Week. Currently, the Crusaders own an 11-game home winning streak dating back to last season, one of the top-ten home-court streaks in the nation.
RPI Soaring: The overall strength of the Horizon League can be seen by looking at the Rating Percentage Index, where the league ranks 10th out of 31 conferences. The Horizon League is in front of leagues such as the Mountain West, Mid-American and Conference USA.. Four Horizon League squads currently rank among the top-100 in RPI (as of Dec. 14), including the Crusaders, who stand at 55.
Efficient Offense: Valparaiso's offense took full advantage of its opportunities last Saturday at Detroit, connecting on 66.7% (30-of-45) of its field goal attempts, one of the top-10 single game efforts in Division I this year. The Crusaders' shooting percentage rose even higher inside the arc, as Valpo connected on a staggering 80% (20-of-25) of its two-point attempts.
Bringing Experience With Them: The Crusaders make the step up to the Horizon League with a core group of experienced players. Valpo returns eight of 11 players who took the court last season, including each of its top seven scorers. 93.6% of last year's scoring, 86.6% of last year's rebounding and 90.4% of last year's minutes played are back for the 2007-08 campaign, the highest returning percentage in each category among Horizon League squads.
Cracking the Top 25: Valpo broke into the Mid-Major Top 25 poll for the first time this season on Dec. 3. The Crusaders debuted at #21 and moved up to #12 in the poll of Dec. 10 after winning at Wright State and at Detroit last week. Valpo is the second-highest Horizon squad in the polling, trailing only Butler, which sits third in the poll. It is the first season that the Crusaders have been ranked in the poll since the 2003-04 campaign.
Loyd Continues to Dish: Senior guard Jarryd Loyd cracked Valparaiso's all-time top-ten in the career assists category inthe Crusaders' victory over Evansville on Tuesday. Loyd dished out four assists without a turnover, giving him 298 career helpers and moving him past Milo Stovall into tenth place on the all-time list. Loyd also scored 15 points in the win, including nine key first-half points to keep Valpo within striking distance. For the senior, it is the third time this year he has scored at least 15 points in a game after not reaching the mark at any time in his first three seasons. On the year, Loyd ranks third on the team in scoring with 11.0 PPG and is shooting at a 50% clip from the field, as well as behind the 3-point line. He also has dished out a team-high 36 assists and is second on the squad with 11 steals.
Steady in the Post: Junior forward Urule Igbavboa averaged 11.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game as a sophomore, and has remained right around those marks so far this season, putting up 12.2 points and 7.1rebounds per contest through Valpo's first ten games. His 7.2 RPG rank second among all Horizon League players, while he is also connecting at a 59.5% clip from the floor this year, good for fourth among league players. Igbavboa has reached double figures in scoring in each of Valpo's last seven contests, the longest string of double-figure games in the career of any current Crusader, and has hit at least half of his shots in all seven games. Last time out against Evansville, Igbavboa hit 6-of-10 shots from the field and knocked down all six of his free throw attempts for a season-high 18 points.
Bouchie a Presence in the Post: Freshman forward Bryan Bouchie put together one of the best games of his young career last Saturday at Detroit. Bouchie showcased his smooth footwork around the basket, getting free for a number of layups and working himself into position for midrange jumpers. The end result? Bouchie finished 8-for-9 from the field for the game, missing only a 3-point attempt, to score 16 points, his second-highest scoring game of the season. He followed with eight critical first-half points against Evansville, and is currently averaging 9.1 points and 4.1 rebounds per game off the bench for the Crusaders.
Haanpää Hits Shot After Shot: Sophomore guard Samuel Haanpää came up huge for the Crusaders Tuesday against Evansville, scoring 15 points early in the second half to help Valpo keep pace with the Purple Aces. Haanpää ended the contest with a game-high 20 points on 6-of-8 shooting, hitting 3-of-4 shot attempts both inside and outside the arc and also knocking down all five of his tries from the charity stripe. Haanpää had only two successful 2-point attempts in the season's first nine games prior to knocking down three deuces against the Purple Aces.
Busy Schedule: The game against Valpo marks Chicago State's 13th contest of the season. The Cougars are 4-8 in the 2007-2008 campaign, but have defeated just two Division I schools (Binghamton and Jackson State).
Holston Hoists It Up: Senior guard David Holston has been lighting up the scoreboard this season for the Cougars. Holston leads the nation in total points scored (288) and is ninth nationally in points per game (24.0). He also leads all Division I players with 65 3-pointers made and is hitting at nearly a 50% clip from behind the arc. In addition, Holston ranks second nationally in both free throw percentage (93.0%) and total steals (33).
Rejections: Senior center Chidozie Chukwumah was averaging over two blocked shots per game through CSU's first 11 games, but busted out against Jackson State, registering a triple-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocks.
