| Pitt basketball Q&A with Ray Fittipaldo
Q: Coach (Jamie) Dixon always talks about continually getting better, yet Pitt seems to hit a wall every February. I was hoping this year would be different because the freshmen would improve, but they seemed to have regressed over the past few weeks. Why does this continue to happen? Bill Aloe, Pittsburgh FITTIPALDO: Pitt is 2-2 this February. The Panthers were 5-2 last February, 4-3 in February of 2006, 4-4 in February of '05 and 6-2 in '04. The only year the Panthers might have regressed at the end of the season was '05 when they lost four of their final six games and were knocked out in the first round of the Big East and NCAA tournaments. You might be noticing that Pitt does not win as many games in February as January, but there is a reason for that.

Q: My husband and I have purchased protein powder at the health food store for our 15-year-old son. Is this bad for him? He eats a good diet and works out and my husband plans to start a new workout program with him. What's recommended? A: If your son is eating a balanced diet that includes enough protein from sources such as lean chicken and meat, fish and legumes, he shouldn't need the protein powder or any other supplements, for that matter, says Avery Faigenbaum, a professor of health and exercise science at the College of New Jersey in Ewing who also serves as a strength and conditioning consultant for high school sports teams. .

EL DORADO, Kan. (AP) -- The search for a missing college student who led a secret life as an Internet porn performer turned into a homicide case after her body was apparently found.
Authorities said the preliminary physical description of the body found Thursday about 50 miles east of El Dorado matches that of Emily Sander, who was last seen leaving a bar here a week ago with a man who stayed in a motel room where police found large quantities of blood.
Investigators refused to give details about the state of the body or how it was found. Police Chief Tom Boren said the cause of death was not yet known. An autopsy was planned for Friday.
Sander's case drew wide attention after it was revealed that she appeared on a popular adult Web site under the name Zoey Zane.
