On March 11, 2011, an earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale struck Japan, bringing a destructive tsunami along with it. One of the sites most affected by the devastation was the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which experienced a partial meltdown two days after the quake.
The incident is being called the worst nuclear accident since the 1986 disaster at Chernobyl, and it has shown few signs of slowing down.

Vesnina upsets Ivanovic in Wimbledon warm-up
EASTBOURNE, England (AP) — Elena Vesnina beat seventh-seeded Ana Ivanovic of Serbia 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 on Monday in the first round of the grass-court Aegon International.
Earlier, 2011 champion Marion Bartoli of France beat Italy's Flavia Pennetta 6-3, 6-2 to set up a possible second-round meeting with second-seeded Li Na in the Wimbledon warm-up event.
Down a break in the first set, Bartoli responded by breaking Pennetta twice and serving out the set. After an exchange of breaks to begin the second set, Bartoli swept five of the next six games.
Sixth-seeded Maria Kirilenko of Russia defeated Bojana Jovanovski of Serbia 7-6 (5), 6-1.
Seventh-seeded Andreas Seppi won 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 against French qualifier Guillaume Rufin. Fellow Italian Fabio Fognini, seeded No. 8, rallied to beat Slovenian Grega Zemlja 6-7 (6), 6-2, 6-4.
Sixth-seeded Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov lost 1-6, 6-3, 6-2 to Spain's Fernando Verdasco, and American qualifier Ryan Harrison edged Paul-Henri Mathieu of France 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (4).
Agnieszka Radwanska and Li top the women's draw, and Milos Raonic and Gilles Simon head the men's event.

We have the minds to rethink the EDC, let's do it
In the wake of the 38 Studios implosion and the realization that long-suffering Rhode Island taxpayers are going to be paying the bill for years to come, the spotlight has fallen on the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation and the competency of its roles in vetting the deal at the outset and then overseeing the operations of 38 Studios through the critical period after it began operating in offices in downtown Providence.
On both counts the EDC failed those tasks. We now know that there was staff skepticism of the deal that was ignored by senior management and the board of the EDC in the rush to award the $40 million-plus the company did receive. The EDC also failed to effectively monitor the financial health of 38 Studios as it plowed through the money in quick time. As a result, EDC is in shambles today, minus a director and missing most of its board members after the forced resignations of all those (but one) who had voted in favor of the loan.
Now there is serious talk of revamping the agency from top to bottom, which is certainly justifiable and needs to be done. Apart from the 38 Studios situation, the EDC for years has been largely ineffective in its mission to advance economic prosperity in Rhode Island, and the proof of that can be seen in our under-performing local economy and chronic 10-plus percent unemployment rate. EDC's wandering mission, which for years focused on capturing big employers to come to the state, did have some successes along the way: Amgen and Fidelity being the biggest prizes.
But in doing so, it neglected some very basic things, like assisting and partnering with existing businesses to help them remain competitive (many of which ended up leaving the state or went under as a result); reducing business regulations and taxes in partnership with the legislature, and, overall, in creating a level playing field here in Rhode Island competitive with Massachusetts. The last big thing that EDC was touting, during the Saul Kaplan directorship, was RI-Wins, a bold initiative to make RI the first state to have border to border mobile wireless infrastructure, which was seen as a boon to business. Unfortunately, the initiative stalled, in no small part because of opposition by a powerful carrier in the mobile wireless marketplace.
At the most basic level of economic development practice, EDC never came up with a unifying analysis and long-term strategy for reforming the state's economy. It never had a vision to offer. It never was able to solve the nagging question asked about every economic downturn the state has been subject to, which is: why does the Ocean State fall into recession sooner than other states and why is it usually one of the last states to come out of one?
Now is the time to rethink the mission of the EDC and rebuild its operating and reporting structure, and blessed with a stroke of good luck for once, we have three of the best economic development minds in the state ready and willing to tackle the challenge: Gary Sasse, the former head of the very respected Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council who has served both in state government and worked for the city of Providence in recent years; Scott Gibbs, the longtime economic development head for Woonsocket; and Marcel Valois, who was the EDC director for a short period during the 1990s before he jumped into the private sector for a while, before eventually returning to the non-profit sphere with the Economic Development Foundation of Rhode Island, a Cumberland-based real estate development firm, which he now operates with Gibbs.
Sasse's extensive public sector experience is matched by the long tenure of Gibbs and Valois, who go back to the 1980s in experience and the time of the ill-fated Greenhouse Compact (remember that?): Gibbs working in Woonsocket and Valois with the 2nd Pawtucket Industrial Area Development Foundation, which was associated with the two strong regional chambers of commerce active at the time: the Blackstone Valley C of C and the Greater Woonsocket C of C (since merged into the Northern RI Chamber).
The three are teaming up with the RI Public Expenditure Council and the RI Foundation and are now ready to make public a plan to extensively reorganize and refocus the EDC. Their set of suggestions will be rolled out for further discussion and debate at a planned September open forum to be called Make It Happen RI. Significant in their thinking is the need to engage business, government, higher education institutions, and labor as critical stakeholders in the effort.
A new EDC, not one in which just the window dressing has been changed, is essential to our state's future, and we should wish everyone involved in the effort ample fortitude, energy and courage in bringing it to fruition.

Time and money are needed for a child to play sports. What happens when there is not enough of either? The amount of time required for a child to attend team practice, games, and home practice requirements can be stressful on an already full schedule. The financial commitment can be tough to manage on a tight budget.
Families who have children in school or local sports know that the cost can be high. Fees, travel, and the cost of private lessons if needed can reach upward of hundreds of dollars. Budgeting for these sports can be hard, especially for those that require full body protection.
Some sports, such as basketball or running, don't require anything but proper shoes and possibly a ball.Some sports, like baseball and soccer, require special shoes and only minimal safety gear. Other contact sports, such as hockey, lacrosse, or football require full body protection. The gear require for hockey includes skates, gloves, pads, hockey helmets, neck guards, sticks, and more. This list could run a price tag of a couple hundred dollars, and more if you add the team jersy and socks. The gear required for football and lacrosse is similar, although you may not use a football or hockey helmet when playing lacrosse, and vice-versa. Using anything other than a lacrosse helmet is illegal.
Sports teams play against many different opponents. Some are easy to defeat, and some are not so easy. One such opponent, is cancer. With numerous marathon races, games, and tournaments, there are lots of ways athletes participate in fundraising for cancer research.
In Meadville, PA, a local hockey team raises money every October for cancer, with an event called "Pink the Rink." This event basically allows individuals to pledge a certain dollar amount for each goal, or even just a set donation for cancer research.
A lacrosse tournament in Ohio supports cancer research. A St. Vincent lacrosse teammate who participated in the tournament sold cancer supporting jerseys and pinnies to campus members as well as tournament attendees, to further support cancer research.
A few teams across the country went the extra mile and shaved the locks under their lacrosse helmets to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. One was the SUNY Plattsburgh lacrosse team, where every year, since 2008, they host an event and shave their heads for the cause.
In North Carolina, another team did a similar fundraising event. The teammates and coach raised just over $24,000 in honor of a local women's basketball coach. Near the end of fundraising, during the UNC Homecoming football game, their heads were shaved out in the open. One admittedly reluctant player lost locks that were near his shoulders.
With winter comes the end of the fall/summer sports season. However, this is not the end out outdoor fun or sports. There are a lot of great sports to do, even in the winter months. These four sports are perfect for the cold and a lot of fun:
Ice-skating. Whether at a rink, or at a frozen-over pond, ice-skating is a favorite winter pastime. It should be noted that outdoor ice skating can be dangerous, as it is possible for there to be thin ice, so please be cautious, and pick a location with that in mind. Ice-skating rinks also have handlebars along the side of the rink, which makes it easier for beginners to learn.
Lacrosse. This can be played year-round with the right uniform and lacrosse equipment. There are longer sleeved uniforms available for cold weather, and some places even have lacrosse played indoors. Either way, lacrosse is a popular sport, and if there isn't a local team it shouldn't be too hard to create one.
Indoor Soccer. Another great indoor sport is soccer. The uniform and rules are the same; the game is simply held indoors. Some facilities even use AstroTurf in order to imitate the warmer conditions. Very often, indoor soccer is offered to both children and adults, so keep an eye out to see what is available.
Skiing. Perfect for a family vacation or a solo trip, skiing is one of the most popular winter sports. There are a variety of trails, difficulty levels, and places that it can be done. Look at what's available nearby or far away, and make plans accordingly.
Get to a rink, hit the slopes, or find the available indoor sport, and have a great winter.
I am concerned with the recent NBA trend of a few teams possessing vast amount of talent. While the season outcome is hard to determine, it is clear the championship will be won by one of roughly 4 teams. While teams like Chicago and Oklahoma have a couple superstars with a really strong supporting cast, the real competition will be between Miami and Los Angeles. Los Angeles has a small edge as it has been able to attract several veterans who have been willing to take a big salary hair cut in hopes to win. While Los Angeles has built a powerful team, having a team of old veteran players may backfire as it did with the Kobe, Shaq, Malone, and Payton.
There are several types of teams that lose in this environment: Teams in big markets that don't have a long term anchor superstar like the Denver Nuggets, Indianapolis Pacers, and Philadelphia 76ers, teams in smaller markets but have been competitive in the past like the Atlanta Hawks, New Orleans Hornets, Utah Jazz, and the Portland Trailblazers, and then there are the teams who have no chance like the Charlotte Bobcats, Washington Wizards, and the Sacramento Kings.
The real tragedy is when teams like the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Dallas Mavericks who have been able to attract a considerable level of talent but have performed at a sub-par level. The Knicks epitomize this more than any other team with its lackluster performance during the 2011-2012 season: I have never seen a more talented group do so little. How many teams could benefit from the likes of Tyson Chandler, Amare Stoudemire, or a Jeremy Lin? I am not sure Carmelo or JR Smith add much value to team cohesiveness but are still great players that could help most teams be somewhat competitive.
I miss the days when there were several contenders at the beginning of every season with one or two favorites. It is clear Miami will dominate for several years to come and the primary competition will come from the likes of Los Angeles and Oklahoma City. I hope talent spreads throughout the NBA to make the season and championship less predictable.
The only thing that should be predictable in sports is the experience: close parking at the New Orleans Arena, or the great public transit near Madison Square Garden. Proximity to the city, means easy access to shops, One Touch Ultra Mini retailers, and restaurants for when you're done with the game.

Mission Health begins developing new information exchange.
As medical records become increasingly available by electronic means, Mission Health has addressed the need for a safe, secure and robust electronic health information exchange platform to serve western North Carolina
The new platform, called Mission Health Connect, allows health care information to be shared electronically between physicians, hospitals and other providers who help manage the health of our regional population.
Providers are able to quickly and securely access health records for patients. Rather than waste time by having office staff track down and fax records, Mission Health Connect provides fast access to a variety of records including medications, immunizations and other clinical documents from numerous participating sources.
"We are excited to announce this achievement toward the universal delivery of accurate health information at the point of care providing safer, more efficient and timely treatment for our patients," said Sulaiman H. Sulaiman, senior vice president and chief information officer for Mission Health. "This doesn't represent a completion but rather the beginning of a process to give our providers and health system advanced tools to deliver the best possible care across the region."
Mission Health is also implementing a patient portal that will allow patients to access, view and manage their own medical records. For more information please visit www.missionhealth
WNC Health Network has made the decision to discontinue WNC Data Link, the region's health information exchange, effective March 31.
Regional health care leaders, including WNC Health Network leaders, have been working together to develop a transition plan to phase out the ervice.
Established in 2006, WNC Data Link was the first health information exchange in North Carolina.
It has been serving Western North Carolina as a tool for health care providers by providing instant patient medical record access for participating organizations.
On average, there are 10,300 logins each month by clinicians.
Keeping pace with the rapid changes in health care reform, health care systems began to seek ways to better utilize the dollars spent on the rising costs of information technology in 2013.
The ability of hospitals in the region to utilize economies of scale will allow clinical providers to take advantage of existing systems and continue to provide care in an efficient way.
CarePartners is hosting the Western Carolina Medical Society's 2014 annual celebration for physician members and their guests, along with members of the board of directors, Development Council and practice managers from member practices.
The event is from 6 to 9 p.m. Jan. 18. The event is free, but requires an RSVP. For more information, email email@example.com.
Nash Health Care Systems announced that it will affiliate with UNC Health Care. This management services agreement allows Nash Health Care to acquire managerial and operational resources from UNC Health Care. This agreement does not involve any sale or exchange of assets. Nash Health Care board of commissioners members say the agreement can help achieve cost savings and increased hospital-based clinical services for area patients. The agreement will go into effect April 1.
The agreement follows months of consideration by the Nash Health Care board of commissioners.
In June 2013, the board issued a Request for Proposal to five pre-selected regional tertiary hospitals for evaluation of an expanded affiliation relationship.
"After review of the proposals, it was clear that UNC Health Care is the right partner to help strengthen and guide our organization into the future," said Vincent C. Andracchio II, chairman of the Nash Health Care Systems board of commissioners.
The expanded affiliation agreement will allow Nash Health Care to provide a broader scope of resources to benefit patients in its four county service areas. Some of the primary benefits include:
- Expansion of locally available patient care services.
- Measured improvements in patient care quality outcome indicators.
- Enhancements to patient satisfaction and patient experience.
- Lowering the cost of operations.
- Improving the revenue and collections cycle to strengthen financial performance .
- Recruitment of additional highly-trained and skilled physicians.
- Access to cutting-edge research and treatments at UNC Health Care.
"We are pleased to welcome Nash Health Care into our system," said David Strong, chief operating officer of system affiliations for UNC Health Care. "Nash Health Care will help advance our system's mission of providing excellent care, training the next generation of North Carolina's physicians and conducting groundbreaking research."

Yuckfu Review
If you were concerned or confused about the name of this application, we assure you that you are not alone. The only relevance in the name is its uncanny knack for inducing headaches and loud cursing.
Yuckfu is limited, to say the least — Its only two modes are a tutorial and the actual "game." While the tutorial is a useful way to begin, it showcases the most frustrating parts of the game right off the bat. First, a little robot introduces itself and presents the main objective: simply hover within a designated circle for 3 seconds. Three seconds never felt so long. In order to fly the Bo382 robot, you must tilt your iDevice accordingly. Problem is, the bot is overly sensitive to the tiniest movement of your iDevice, sending it clear across the screen at the slightest nudge. Putting the iDevice down further highlights the accelerometer calibration issues — Bo382 will fly upwards at an alarming rate. With no obvious neutral point, hovering nearly is impossible. While it is possible to get used to the controls as you go along, they never fail to be harrowing and frustrating.
The game itself has only a few different elements. A typical energy bar, which dwindles as the robot flies chaotically around, is replenished by collecting packages for points around the screen. Careful though — If you wait too long, the packages will close and become obstacles. If you run into a closed package or any of the walls, your robot explodes. Game over. Due to the oversensitive controls, even the slighest error in movement can easily send your bot careening to its doom before you realize what happened. Out of lives and mercy, and probably patience, you'll see your score with a place to type your name, which is then added to the local and global leaderboards. That's all she wrote. Sure, the techno soundtrack admittedly had us grooving, but ultimately disappointing at just three tracks.
Due to its oversensitive and terribly frustrating controls, Yuckfu is an utterly disappointing title. However, even if the controls were a bit more manageable, the game's limited scope and ambition is still not enough to garner our recommendation.

What was health care like in the "good old days"? And what was the government's role? Today to relieve the taxpayer from the obligation to pay the hospital costs for the uninsured, the country is preparing for "Obamacare," a mandate for everyone to have health insurance.
Before the 20th century, people did not bother with health insurance nor did they voluntarily go into a hospital, a source of infection and death. Only sailors had a mandate to pay into a federal program for medical care. The poorest, the homeless, those lacking social support like the sailors, were condemned to hospitals where doctors volunteered their services in return for the prestige of the appointment. Hand-washing was not expected and the results were deadly.
Neither professional nor government regulation existed to establish standards of care or of competency. There were no licensing requirements for those practicing medicine. Anyone could call himself a doctor and anyone, male or female, could practice medicine. That included the traditional Indian shamans, African-American conjurers or obeahs, midwives, or any herbal dispenser. By the nineteenth century there were even more unorthodox treatments and self-help alternatives from hydropathy to homeopathy to a profusion of sugarcoated patent medicines with unknown ingredients (the patent was on the shape of the container and not what was in it).
Those who consulted doctors on a fee basis paid cash or farm produce to be bled, purged, or treated with some foul-smelling obnoxious potions or pills. They had no guarantee of a cure but they were guaranteed an unpleasant reaction to those "heroic" medications, which supposedly rid the body of the disease. The prescriptions were often useless and could be harmful if not deadly. If the patient died, no one blamed the doctor's cure; it was blamed on the patient's neglect. Nor was there any promise that the American doctor knew anything about anatomy or diseases. In days before the Civil War little was known about the cause of disease or how to distinguish between diseases. Symptoms told it all—a fever, a skin eruption, a fast pulse, a swelling, bleeding, an "ague." Doctors as well as folk healers diagnosed based on the patient's description of the ailments and then treated the symptoms.
There was no price control from insurers or the government to worry about, nor was there a way to test the ability or training of doctors. A bootblack from England turned himself into a dispenser of special medications, used the newspapers to advertise and the postal system to mail his nostrums, and then created an even more fictitious medical history to call himself a doctor. It was a lucrative business. Early American medicine was free enterprise at its most pure, a libertarian's dream.
Such was the nature of health care before the twentieth century. Anyone could practice with no interference from government or professional organizations. America in the nineteenth century was an entrepreneurial paradise that valued commercialization over the public interest. The medical man could make his fortune like the factory owner or any other business innovator and the most imaginative and unscrupulous did prosper. In the area of health care Americans retained what one medical historian called their "inalienable rights to life, liberty, and quackery."
But all was not lost. Europeans in the nineteenth century were forging ahead with careful training, creating laboratory-based medications with clinical trials and postmortem exams to evaluate therapies. The result was the discovery of germs, the shift away from extreme depletion procedures to let the body heal, and the extraction of usable chemical ingredients from traditional medications that made exact doses possible—quinine from cinchona bark and morphine from opium. No one in Europe entered the profession without academic and government approval.
But 19th century Americans thought themselves different from Europeans. They rejected the advances made in overseas laboratories, hospitals, and medical schools. Doctors had no need of science in medicine. They thought Americans were exceptional, sturdier and better able to handle the traditional heroic methods. Americans did not need numbers to tell them about the best methods or want governmental intrusion into their freedom to choose a therapy.
That attitude finally changed. In the twentieth century Americans began to follow the European lead in training and research. Since then medicine has made extraordinary strides to improve the quality of life, to extend life expectancy from the forties to close to the eighties today. But recently we have been falling behind Europe, not in technology but in outcomes. We have rejected the European model of universal health care in favor of the less effective public-private delivery systems. Obamacare may cover more people than the current system, but we obstinately ignore those programs with better outcomes. Once again we are held back by the belief that Americans are exceptional!

A ridiculously impressive project hit Kickstarter last week called Dash. Not only are these earbuds truly wireless, but they also track your fitness with a tiny infrared LED, including motion, heart rate, and body temperature. One headphone talks to the other over Bluetooth, then the second talks to your iPhone over Bluetooth, though the headphones can play audio independently thanks to 4 GB of included storage. A capacitive touch sensor on the outside of each earbud lets you control audio, take calls, and adjust tracking.
There's the option to toggle audio passthrough so you can either hear what's going on around you, or block it all out. Bone conduction is employed for the microphone, which should work well in noisy environments. There's a 100 mAh battery tucked away in there somewhere, providing 3 hours of playback time, which is about on par with most lightweight stereo Bluetooth headphones. The Dash headphones are also water resistant up to 1 m, though Bragi, the manufacturer, warns that water can mess with the Bluetooth pairing. iOS and Android apps will be available at launch, and they're approaching the stretch goal of $2.5 million in funding for a Windows Phone app. Best of all, there's a developer framework for anybody that wants to optimize their apps for the Dash system. Included in the package are three gels and a charging/carrying case.
Though the $179 early bird special is all done, there are still a bunch available at the $199 tier, which is still well below the $299 price point they're expected to retail for when they launch in November, but that Kickstarter special will ship later in January 2015. Get in now while the getting's good at Dash's at Kickstarter page. $200 is a fair bit to pay for earbuds, but these are obviously unique in their feature set and an instabuy for fitness nuts that are already on-board with current tracking gadgets. Even as someone who's not really gung-ho about fitness tracking, I'm tempted to put some money down for a pair. What about you guys?

Decidedly Ungloomy: Gray Kitchen Cabinets
In terms of selecting colors for interiors, gray is typically at the top of my list (second to white). I'm a sucker for a dramatic gray room and there's no reason why it can't be brought into the kitchen and more specifically to the cabinets.
Many people purchase homes with older kitchens and if replacing the cabinets isn't in the budget, paint usually is. First inclination is to paint cabinets white to make the space look larger but gray can actually have the same effect.
There are many different shades of gray to choose from, whether you're painting or picking our new cabinets for a kitchen remodel. You can go dark and dramatic with a deep gray, which looks beautiful with white walls and black countertops. Go super glam with a lighter shade of gray and install white marble countertops and chic brass hardware! Or, achieve the modern look by pairing dark gray cabinets with a plywood backsplash and black countertops. Add white dining chairs to brighten up the space!
What's your take on gray kitchen cabinets?

• Luxe Utility in Stockholm, Kitchenisms

He went to class the next day, keeping his head down and trying not to make eye contact with too many of his fellow students. Because they knew, and he knew they knew.Who didn't know? The whole episode was on television for two hours. Rasheed Sulaimon sitting, and Duke winning by so many points there wasn't a whole lot more to talk about than Rasheed Sulaimon sitting.
In the NBA, they call it DNP-CD: Did Not Play-Coach's Decision. If being singled out for such a designation seems cruel, college is worse. They just exclude your name from the box score. You don't play, you don't exist. Except if you're a former McDonald's All-American and ACC all-freshman choice, in which case they talk on television for two hours about why you've disappeared.
MORE: SN's midseason All-Americans
He could have picked a better night to vanish. The audience for Duke's Big Ten/ACC Challenge game against Michigan was certainly larger than when they played Gardner-Webb. The point might not have been made in such a game, though, coach Mike Krzyzewski forcibly demonstrating: We can do this with you or without you; we'd rather do it with you.
"It was very hard," Sulaimon told Sporting News. "At that time of year last season, we played Ohio State and I was playing. A year later we're playing Michigan, a big-time game in the ACC challenge, and I didn't play a minute. It was kind of hard for me to take, but I knew I had to get out of it.
"He made the right call sitting me out of the game.
"I could have come up with a million excuses of why I didn't play … blamed somebody. The reality of the situation is I put myself in that situation. I had to get back to playing like myself, really. I felt embarrassed, like I let my teammates down, even though we won. I knew I never wanted to feel like that again."
The tricky part of all that is playing like himself is kind of what got Sulaimon, a 6-4 sophomore shooting guard from Houston, into trouble in the first place. In his freshman season, his 11.6 scoring average did not come close to leading the Blue Devils. But he served as a reliable option if a play broke down and the Blue Devils had to manufacture something late in the shot-clock.
He functions best playing with the ball in his hands. He is not a J.J. Redick who'd run all through the offense, ducking behind screens until losing his man and firing a deadly 3-pointer off the catch. Sulaimon would take the ball, bounce it a few times, make a move that destabilized his defender and then fire.
The difference this year: Duke added two players who did the same things, only better, and freshman Jabari Parker and transfer Rodney Hood did it at the forward positions, where defenders were even less adept at staying on balance against an attacking ballhandler.
"I think I came into this year thinking things were going to be similar to how they were last year. The reality is we have different personnel, different schemes, different strategies," Sulaimon said. "It took me a long time just to get used to how things were going to be different, and the different style of play this year."
Dealing with these two invasions on what had been more or less his territory unsettled Sulaimon, who'd been described as headstrong by his personal trainer , Chris Gaston, during a conversation last June.
"I don't think he pouted or got down," Gaston told Sporting News this month. "I think any player's confidence would be shaken when he goes from being 'the man.' Sheed was a projected first-round pick himself. Of course you're going to be affected.
"He's not that type of kid to run away from a situation. He's not a transfer kid; he's a kid that's going to find a way to work it out."
Gaston said he tried not to bother Sulaimon much at the time of his benching, aside from sending him an inspirational text here or there. But there was one thing that seemed necessary to underscore: The transition Sulaimon faced now was inevitably going to come when he arrived in the NBA. As talented as he is, he is not an obvious pro superstar. He's going to have to find a way to be effective complementing a LeBron James or Kyrie Irving or Kevin Durant.
"That's what I tell all the kids: You're going to have to get used to coming off the bench or playing a spot-up role," Gaston said. "In a way it's good for him. I still think he'll be a solid first-round pick … when he decides to come out."
Sulaimon said he never gave any thought to transferring out of Duke even though the conversation raged through Twitter and message boards and talk radio and the like. Because that's what often happens when a prominent talent encounters a challenge. Transferring is so easy, knowing there's even a chance you won't have to sit a year.
He didn't want to hear it, so he retreated from social media: "shut it down," in his words. He went to practice, worked to listen to instructions, stayed afterward to get up shots — perhaps as much to show his dedication as to polish his touch.
"I knew there was probably a lot of things being written about me, and I just tried not to pay attention to it," Sulaimon said. "I think one of the reasons I got into that situation was listening to too many outside sources, whether it was a friend, somebody on Twitter, or an article. I shut out everything else and just solely focused on my coaches and teammates."
His recovery was not immediate. In the first game following the Michigan disappearance, he played just five minutes against Gardner-Webb and did not score. When the Blue Devils traveled to Madison Square Garden to face UCLA, though, Sulaimon struck three times from 3-point range, and his teammates' encouragement was obvious.
When he at last broke out with a 21-point game Monday against Virginia, one of his four 3-pointers led forward Josh Hairston to give him one of those celebratory shoves that have become common. "I almost fell over," Sulaimon said with a chuckle. It was an important moment for him, though. The Duke players never turned against him.
"I think if I was in any other circumstance, with guys that aren't as good as my teammates, it might have been a different situation," Sulaimon said. "They knew I've been struggling, going through a hard time. It feels great to know that I have a group of guys that have my back at all times.
"They told me I was going to get out of it — not, 'They hope.' But they were behind me."
Coming off two losses in their first three ACC games, facing a rugged Virginia team at home on ESPN's Big Monday, the Blue Devils were in a sort of must-win circumstance and dominated the game in stretches. But Virginia rallied to take the lead with 38 seconds left. With :22 on the clock, Sulaimon found himself open in the left corner and had the confidence to fire; the ball bounced high off the rim, but dropped through. It stood as the-game winner.
Sulaimon acknowledged it was a huge moment, but, "It's not like the end-all. It's not like I'm back or anything like that. I know there's still a lot of work to be done, and I need to get better. But I felt great."
The shot came while Sulaimon was on the court with Parker, Hood and other Duke starters. He'd worked his way back to having that confidence, though, while playing against Virginia with a sort of second unit Krzyzewski devised that included center Marshall Plumlee and point guard Tyler Thornton. In that alignment, Sulaimon's role was closer to his comfort level.
Sulaimon embraced that circumstance, but he naturally wants to chance to be a starter and an integral part of the team. Getting there requires fully integrating himself with its most important members.
"We have two outstanding talents, and they demand the ball — whatever team they're on, they're going to demand the ball because their talent is so superior," Sulaimon said. "It was a learning experience to utilize my talents to go along with those two guys. I think that's why I took me a little longer to get to that point. I'm learning, still learning, but I think I'm getting better at it.
"If I'm on the court with them, the third- or fourth-best defender is going to be on me. So I have the chance to really take the pressure off Jabari and Rodney. Once we get on the same page, get the chemistry where we can play with each other and play with our teammates as well, I think we can really become a special team."

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: This aerial view of South Deerfield, Massachusetts, was probably taken in the late summer: the crops are nearly all out of the fields, yet leaves remain on the trees. It probably dates from around 1910, given the type of postcard (no white edges showing). The village stretches from north (to the left) to south (right), but the image has left out two crucial landmarks: the town center, which is just off to the right, and Mt. Sugarloaf, also off-image to the right. Stretching behind the village, though, is the long ridge of North Sugarloaf Mountain. As with most of Western Massachusetts in 1910, its slopes are almost entirely treeless, a remarkable contrast to the landscape of today.

Animal Species:Daddy-long-legs Spider, Pholcus phalangioides
The cosmopolitan Daddy-long-legs Spider belongs to a group known as the tangle-web spiders.
Standard Common Name
Daddy-long-legs Spider
Number of species
Daddy-long-legs spiders are easily recognised by their extremely long, skinny legs and small body. They are cream to pale brown. Some species have darker markings on their legs and abdomen.
Size range
9 mm
The Daddy-long-legs Spider, Pholcus phalangioides, is found throughout Australia. It is a cosmopolitan species that originates from Europe and was introduced accidently into Australia.
Daddy-long-legs Spiders are found in most urban areas, in particular houses. They make a thin, tangled web in sheltered positions were they are unlikely to be disturbed, such as under furniture, behind doors, in the corner of the ceilings, in sheds, in garages and under decks. Its successful use of these human-made structures has made it one of the most common spiders in Australia. If the Daddy-long-legs Spider is disturbed in the web it responds by setting up a a very fast, spinning motion, becoming a blur to anyone watching..
Habitat type
Terrestrial Habitat: peridomestic
Feeding and Diet
The Daddy-long-legs Spider feeds on insects and other spiders.
Feeding Habits
arthropod-feeder, carnivorous, insectivorous, predator
Life history mode
Danger to humans and first aid
There is a persistent belief that the Daddy-long-legs Spider has the most toxic venom of all spiders. However, there is no scientific evidence to back this up. The myth probably grew from observations that the Daddy-long-legs Spider will kill and eat a Redback Spider. However, the venom is not actually that potent, even for insects.
It had been thought that the fangs of this spider were incapable of piercing human skin. Recently, however, it was shown that the tiny fangs (about 0.25 mm) were actually capable of piercing human skin in a test done on the US television show, Mythbusters, but the stinging sensation produced was very short-lived. Most reputable sources, including the University of California, Riverside, still say that this species would never be considered as harmful to humans. However, in the unlikely event of a bite from this species, a positive identification of the spider by an expert should be made and medical attention sought if any reaction persists for more than a short time.

My next step was to put them on my table in columns, because I had only 7 blocks of each color I made a slight change in size, and had 11 columns each 7 blocks long. If you have 90 blocks you will want to lay yours out in 10 columns 9 blocks long (10 x 9). I first tried a "scrambled" look with just putting them all out in any order. It didn't work so I decided to try a diagonal order, which worked much better. My diagonal went from upper left to lower right.
Once you have your lay-out decided, put a safety pin in the upper left hand corner of the top left hand block in each column across. This will help you orient the blocks after you have sewn them.
Now flip the top right hand block over the left hand block.
Take these to your machine and being sure to keep them in order sew down the right edge making a 1/4 in. seem allowance. Do not cut them apart, just keep right on sewing on the next two blocks. This is called chain piecing. It saves time, thread and helps keep the blocks in order.
Once you have finished your whole column of blocks, lay them back down on your table and flip them open to lay flat. Use your safety pin in the upper left block to orient each column correctly.
You will notice there is a small chain of thread holding each pair together in the column. Now take the first column to your sewing machine. Flip the top 2 blocks over the second 2 blocks and matching edges and center seem, sew them together.
Your chain of blocks will be out to the left of your sewing.
In this picture the top 2 sets of blocks are sewn together. Keep flipping the sewn blocks over the unsewn ones and always matching the center seem, sew them together. Sew each column like this. You will have 5 double columns each 9 blocks long , if you are doing a 10 x 9 block quilt. I had 5 double columns and one single, each 7 blocks long for my 11 x 7 quilt.
Again I like to lay out my double columns out on a table (or floor, or bed or wherever you have space) and still using the safety pins to keep them in order, check to see that everything is lined up the way you want it. It is much easier to fix things now because our next step is to sew them all together.
And here it is, the finished lap quilt. I chose to put a border on mine of the same fabric as I used for the corners. I feel this works well and helps to hold the whole quilt together. After I layered the top, batting and backing together I machine quilted this one on the diagonal down the center of each large block.
I can see this quilt in many different colors and sizes and I'm sure I'll make it again. Wouldn't a shorter one done in the flat block be a great baby quilt?
Any questions or comments, please leave them and I will be glad to answer them.

Electrical fault shuts down power plant
The Yallourn Power Station in the Latrobe Valley, in eastern Victoria, has been shut down after a fire broke out this morning, and coincides with management's decision to lockout workers indefinitely.
The station supplies 25 per cent of Victoria's electricity.
Members of the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) had planned industrial action at the power station today over an enterprise bargaining agreement dispute with the company.
They were going to switch off the automatic generation control which allows the electricity regulator to remotely control the generation according to demand.
Power station owner, Energy Australia, this morning told the 75 union members they were locked out of the power station indefinitely.
Straight after the announcement the three generating units shut down, apparently because of a fire.
The company says it is investigating.
The company says Victorian power supplies will not be affected but the wholesale price of electricity has risen today as a result.
The station supplies approximately 22 per cent of Victoria's electricity needs and makes up about 8 per cent of the national electricity market.

Routes Jukebox - Delta Maid & Said The Whale
Routes Jukebox
The city of Liverpool is well known across the world for producing bands like The Zutons, The Wombats and of course The Beatles, however; the city is not yet finished delivering great musicians. Witnessing these Liverpool born bands succeed in the international music market inspires the people of the city to chase after their own dreams, both musically and otherwise.
Still image photographer Mark McNulty had been capturing images in many fields including the music and fashion industries. It was not until five years ago that McNulty began filming and editing footage of events, realizing that although still images can be extremely powerful, they simply do not portray the same depth, or have the same effect as moving images.
It was in 2009 that McNulty has been producing music videos for his favourite bands in Liverpool and posting them to his website RoutesJukebox.com. Having a passion for Folk and Country "roots" type music; he began expanding his portfolio and continued filming musicians like The Lost Brothers, Mike Badger, Sixteen Tonnes and The Random Family.
Routes Jukebox is continuing to introduce us to many great artists who have either originated from or visited the city of Liverpool. So we're going to take a look at a couple performers and an even closer look at their beloved instruments that have assisted in their success.
Routes Jukebox Featured Artists
Delta Maid is a Liverpool born singer/songwriter, pianist and guitarist. Growing up listening to her parent's old-fashioned music collection, Delta's passion for music sparked when she listened to country/blues queen Rory Block's Best Blues and Originals, after which she became interested in many more blues artists including the legendary Robert Johnson. Delta Maid's debut album Outside Looking In was released in May 2011 and features an array of soulful and inspiring country/blues tunes. Her authentic Deep-Southern, country/blues sound has been said to be rather deceiving, in that it is pretty much impossible to detect any hint of her Liverpool accent during her performances.
Having supported acts like Seth Lakeman and The Coral, Delta Maid has gained a significant amount of positive public attention and is becoming increasingly recognized by both fans and critics for her unquestionable talent. Relying largely on the accompaniment of her own acoustic guitar, which appears to be a Martin & Co. J-14 custom, Delta maid delivers captivating and emotional performances. She is a sincere and charming artist and as much as we'd like to keep her all to ourselves here in Liverpool, we think she's destined for worldwide success.
Delta maid's traditional style steel-string J-14 acoustic delivers both the high quality sound that an artist needs and as this particular model is customizable, it provides that much needed individuality and memorable quality that solo performers look for in an instrument. Delta's guitar features a curvaceous body with a vintage adirondack spruce top. Customized shimmering hex-outline fret inlays, similarly shimmering stripe along the guitars scratch plate and gold tuning pegs. If you're interested in becoming a singer/songwriter like Delta Maid, then take a look at the instruments that Dolphin recommends to get you started. The Tanglewood TSJ XFM Exotic Super Jumbo Acoustic Guitar features traditional natural spruce top, shimmering hexagonal inlays, rosewood fingerboard and beautifully contrasted maple neck. However, if you're looking for a guitar that's a little further out on the individuality scale then perhaps the Yamaha FS720S in cobalt aqua is the one for you. Dolphin also stocks the more "pocket-friendly" option of the Yamaha F310, probably one of the most popular guitars due to the promised Yamaha quality and affordability.
Available on Routes Jukebox is the short film Broken Branches, an introduction to Delta maid, her music, inspiration and where she came from. The film features exclusive interviews with the singer and includes multiple tracks the album Outside Looking In. RoutesJukebox.com
Said The Whale are a Canadian Indie Pop band, formed in 2007, originally consisting of singer/songwriters Tyler Bancroft and Ben Worcester. Bancroft, who is a truly gifted vocalist, also showcases his Ukulele skills in tracks like Goodnight Moon. The duo's debut EP, Talking Abalonia was released in 2008, which was a fusion of the upbeat styling of Californian indie pop and the more interesting, atypical sounds from the music of their home city, Vancouver. Featuring many other different musical styles such as hard rock, bubblegum pop and some gentle ukulele sounds, the bands stylistic pallet meant that their music was available to everyone. Later welcoming 3 additional band members, Said The Whale then re-released their first album Howie Sounds/Talking Abalonia, which included a bassist (Nathan Shaw), a drummer (Spencer Schoening) and a keyboardist (Jaycelyn Brown). After a rigorous touring adventure hitting places like V-Fest in Calgary and criss-crossing Canada the quintet released their second album in 2009, Islands Disappear.
Said The Whale performed in Liverpool Sound City in May 2011. You can watch a live performance by the band, shot by Mark McNulty during their time in Liverpool, by visiting Routes Jukebox.
Interested in Said the Whale's instrumental collection? Check out Dolphin's recommended instruments for a "Said The Whale sound" like the Fender Hau'oli ukulele with its laminated mahogany body, favoured by Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy, and the Ibanez AW3000 acoustic guitar. Other Dolphin instruments similar to the band's own are the beautiful arch-top semi-acoustic Ibanez AS73T which is genuinely a "stand-out" guitar and comes in transparent cherry red almost identical to Bancroft's own. The band is also associated with the well-known Gibson SG electric guitar. Gibson, being one of the biggest names in the industry, guarantees quality, style and playability, so if these features are sounding pretty good to you right now then take a closer look Dolphins wide selection of Gibson SGs.
