Applause to the Gossip Girl writers: Snappy lines are the main reason we tune in each week. Keep the Bassness coming!
10. Glad to see you two getting along so well...

Epperly: The Suttons are next. They want to be shot with their English Setters.
Blair (Leighton Meester): The Setters are better looking than the Suttons.
7. It's called depression...
Blair: Take that away, Dorota. I can't eat. I only rang to tell you to call the doctor. I think I have consumption.
Dorota (Zuzanna Szadkowski): Consumption not since 19th century. They have vaccine.
6. Dan sniffs Blair
Eric (Connor Paolo): Why do you care? Do you like her?

4. The contagious van der Woodsens
Charlie (Kaylee DeFer): She thinks your world's toxic. If I'm exposed, I'll catch it.
Serena (Blake Lively): We may not be perfect, but comparing us to the plague is a little extreme.
Charlie: So you and your brother didn't both end up going into a mental institution and your dad didn't give your mom fake cancer and your mom didn't send an innocent man to prison just to get you back into private school?
3. When is Lily's hair not done?
CeCe: Darling. You look lovely in your mug shot. It was smart of you to turn yourself in so you could make sure your hair was done.
2. But Labrador kisses are nice!
Blair: If Chuck is destined to be my prince, why kiss any more toads?
Dorota: Humphrey more Labrador than toad.
1. Do headbands count as hats?
Blair: Why does love have to be so hard, Dorota? All I ever wanted was a fairytale. Kate Middleton has it. And I have much shinier hair. Although she does have a better assortment of hats.

Ray's at Killer Creek Restaurant Review: This 10,000-square-foot beauty of a building offers a setting that is both contemporary and warm, and often is the scene of weddings. The flora and fauna of protected suburban wetlands fill a frame of generous windows overlooking the nature-rich vista. Start with cold-water oysters and stone crab claws in season, or consider the chunky gumbo. Several sushi selections appear as well. A couple of beef dishes, including a pair of tempting steaks, remain on the menu, but fish and seafood, fresh and simply grilled with a choice of complementary sauces or lemon, have emerged among mains. At lunch, hearty sandwiches prevail. The wine list indicates vintages in most instances, and proposes chiefly high-recognition name-brand California budget-busters. For dessert, the choices are many, and so are the calories. Come for happy hour 3 p.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Friday at the bar, when specially priced appetizers are offered.

NC House approves Senate changes to reading tests
Jun. 05, 2014 @ 05:00 PM
Changes to the state's reading mandates for third-graders are headed to Gov. Pat McCrory's desk.
The state House agreed Thursday to the Senate's changes for the reading program in response to complaints from school administrators and parents.
The change expands the testing window by one year and gives parents the authority to decide whether their child will attend a reading camp if they fail the test. It also directs the state Board of Education to give alternate reading assessments if a district requests it.
Several lawmakers said more changes should be made before the legislation passed, but the majority said the changes needed to be in place before reading camps would start this summer.

Guest Post: Robert Ham - Album Review: Tobacco - Maniac Meat (Anticon)
Of his solo material, Tom Fec - or Tobacco as he's known here and on the albums he has produced with his band Black Moth Super Rainbow - has said, "I want to make you feel paranoid in a good way." While it sounds like he's suggesting smoking something other than tobacco, you won't need any psychotropics to achieve the mixture of joy and creeping dread that Fec is going for with both his first album for Anticon, 2007's Fucked Up Friends and, this, his latest release. As with his BMSR work, Fec has warped almost every sound on this album out of focus to some degree. Drums have been overmodulated to just over the line of distortion. The analog synths that dominate the album sound like backfiring robots or echoes from deep space. Even the most recognizable voice here - Beck, who guests on two tracks - has either been chopped up into shards or pixilated into ether. What might come as a surprise to listeners unfamiliar with Fec's solo work is how relentlessly funky these songs are. BMSR material tended to hint at being influenced by the heady production style of folks like J Dilla and DJ Premier. Those reference points arrive in full flower here as live and processed beats swing and pulse and drive in ways both clean and filthy. It's a dance record but one that is undercut by an unbalanced wooziness, as if you just hit the club after a few hours on a Tilt-a-Whirl. Tobacco - Fresh Hex [feat. Beck]

At the 45-bed hospital in rural Alaska where Dr. Janice Boughton is a hospitalist, her shift starts at 7:30 a.m. Here's what greeted her when she arrived one recent morning:
The night shift doc told me about the 13 patients who I needed to take care of that day. Seven of the patients were new to me, admitted the night before. For those patients, I needed to review their medical histories in the computerized medical record and get to know them, with a focused physical exam and an interview to determine what needed to be accomplished in the hospitalization. For all of the 13 patients, I needed to review all of the lab tests completed in the last day and all of the radiological studies and check their vital signs and review the nurses' notes about what had happened in the previous 24 hours. Each person had an average of about 30 blood test values and some of them also had microbiological results that needed to be reviewed.
And the day had barely even started.
For the next 12 hours she saw patients, reviewed tests and medications, dictated notes, updated medical charts, admitted two new patients from the emergency room, transferred two patients out of intensive care, answered the phone, did five bedside ultrasounds, talked to patients and families about end-of-life care, discharged patients who were ready to go home, discussed patient care with referring physicians and tried to track down incomplete test results from a pathologist.
No wonder doctors become frazzled by the amount of multitasking they're required to do. "I love every little part of my day, but I don't necessarily love trying to do all of it at the same time," Dr. Boughton writes.
Patient care has always been demanding. But if you listen to clinicians when they talk about what their days are like, it's clear there's a rising tide of frustration with the overload.
Perhaps it's no coincidence that around the same time Dr. Boughton wrote about her hectic day in the hospital, JAMA Internal Medicine published a survey that uncovered serious, quantifiable issues with the workload that many hospitalists experience.
Just over 500 hospitalists from across the U.S. took part in the survey, which was conducted online. Among the findings:
– 40 percent of the respondents said their patient load exceeded safe levels at least once a month, and 36 percent said this happened weekly.
– One in four reported that the excess workload often resulted in being unable to fully discuss treatment options with patients and families or answer their questions.
– About 25 percent said their workload affected patient care.
– 19 percent felt the heavy workload was detrimental to patient satisfaction.
The overload isn't limited to hospital medicine. Nurses worry about high patient-to-staff ratios and the impact this has on patient care and safety. A study that looked at pharmacy workloads found that when pharmacists were overloaded, there was increased potential for error.
And when researchers tracked the workload at a private internal medicine practice in Philadelphia a few years ago, they found some startling statistics on how the physicians spent their day. Each of the five doctors saw an average of 18 patients per day, made 23.7 phone calls, received 16.8 emails, processed 12.1 prescription refills, and reviewed 19.5 laboratory reports, 11.1 imaging reports and 13.9 consultation reports.
It's a recipe for harried providers, frustration, mistakes and ultimately professional burnout.
None of this is good news for patients who increasingly are having to make do with a smaller slice of the doctor's time and attention.
Patients can help reduce some of the overload by being organized and focused when they talk to the doctor. They can help by knowing their health history and what medications they're taking. They can quietly grit their teeth and be patient when a phone call isn't promptly returned. They can show up on time to their appointment, because even though doctors are often late, the schedule gets further clogged when patients arrive late too.
This is only a fraction of the solution, however. Moreover, there's a limit to how much should be expected of patients to help reduce the doctor's workload. There are times, after all, when someone genuinely needs the extra attention.
No, the real problem lies with the system itself. Perhaps even more than cost or quality, clinician overload is a major – and often ignored – issue that threatens to swamp the progress toward better, safer care. And the near future doesn't seem to hold many fixes.

Java Enabled: Coffee Farmers in the Mist, Pt. 2
Categories: Drink Drank Drunk, Java Enabled
In last week's article, I discussed how Sustainable Harvest, a coffee importer based in Portland, Oregon, is helping the Kanyovu cooperative in Kigoma, Tanzania. Thanks to a grant from the Lemelson Foundation, Sustainable Harvest is working to make coffee a sustainable solution for both the wildlife and the farmers in the region.
Since 2007, Sustainable Harvest has been working in Kigoma with farmers and administrators to make the cooperative a model for success across Tanzania. One of Sustainable Harvest's first hurdles was convincing farmers that there was a better way to grow coffee. Living on dollars a day, farmers in Kigoma have an incredibly small margin of error. If the methods prescribed by Sustainable Harvest didn't yield a crop, they would be left with nothing....

|Farmers taking part in a coffee tasting
Organic conversation is difficult from another angle, too: output. "Going organic means in the first three years the farmer would see a 50 percent drop in production," Edens says. There are options to subsidize these low-yield years but considering the farmers' razor thin margins it would be a hard pill to swallow.
The size of the Kanyovu cooperative also makes going organic difficult. "With 4,000 members, even if your coffee is organic," notes Edens, "and you neighbor's isn't, none of the coffee can be counted as organic."

|Farmers being trained on the Penagos machine
Noting the tight margins that the Kanyovu cooperative lives by, Edens said that the farmers were slow to come around to the new technology. However, the higher quality and speed of the Penagos machine made believers of the community. Today, there are eight central washing facilities in several villages that provide water for the Penagos machines, as well as drinking and bathing water.
The disconnect between producers and their product once it goes to market is hardly a new problem for coffee growers. To address this problem, Sustainable Harvest is providing a new technology to help producers track their product and improve sourcing: the EZ pass. Believe it or not, the same radio-frequency technology that pays your toll automatically as you drive through the EZ-pass lane can also be used to track coffee.
Last year, with technical assistance from Sustainable Harvest, Kanyovu farmers developed a database to track their coffee from harvest to market through the radio-frequency tags. "It doesn't sound like much at first," Edens explains, "but think about how important it is for a cooperative to know how much coffee they have at one time and where it is."
Next year, Sustainable Harvest will expand the system to include specific roasters that purchase Kanyovu's coffee. As single-source coffee gains popularity, the system will further develop direct relationships between farmers and specialty roasters around the world.

|Sorting ripe coffee cherries at a washing station
Swahili is the spoken language in Kigoma but all business and government affairs are conducted in English. To improve transparency between farmers and buyers, Edens and others taught the farmers to "decode" their English contracts. Focusing on the numbers in the contract, farmers can now understand the contracts in a rudimentary level to protect their interests despite not knowing English.
Before 2006, the Kanyovu cooperative had never sold coffee outside Tanzania's national auction. Under this system the government scores all coffee that comes in and sets its own bidding price for each category. "There's no farmer negotiation or input when it comes to setting a price for the coffee," Edens says. "This isn't a bad way to move cheap coffee, but if you've got a quality product you're going to lose out."
Sustainable Harvest initially depended on their existing export relationships, namely with Allegro coffee (a brand sold at Whole Foods), to sell Kanyovu's coffee. Allegro's interest was peaked by the story of the cooperative, an dit decided to buy some of Kanyovu's coffee. Besides buyers in the U.S., Sustainable Harvest is helping Kanyovu identify new direct buyers in Europe and South Africa.
The depth and level of assistance Sustainable Harvest has been able to commit to the Kanyovu cooperative is unique. I asked Edens what role Sustainable Harvest will take -- if any -- in the cooperative's future as their grant with the Lemelson Foundation winds down.
"In the next couple years we'll be working with the cooperative to help facilitate new relationships," she says. "Fifty percent of our profits go back to farmers in the form of quality and technical training so our involvement will scale back, but not end."

Climate models use the fundamental laws of physics, expressed as mathematical equations, to simulate the behavior of the climate system which includes the oceans, atmosphere, land, and ice. Scientists use climate modeling to help identify potential problems, warn of unusual weather, and predict future climate conditions. An ultimate objective is to understand key physical, chemical, and biological processes which govern climate. Currently, the focus is on using climate models to help predict factors related to global warming.
Models can be used to study various aspects of climate science, from helping scientists understand forms of natural variability, such as El Ni˝o, to estimating effects that increasing greenhouse gases may have on future global climate.
Model Types Climate models fall into four main categories listed from the most basic to the most complex:
The primary drawback of the simple models (EBMs) is that there is little interaction between the various processes. RCMs, although on the simpler side, can identify the potential effects that varying greenhouse gas levels will likely have on surface temperatures. There are two types of GCMs ? atmospheric and ocean ? which can also be combined to form an atmosphere-ocean coupled general circulation model (AOGCM). As other components are added, such as a sea ice or land model, the AOGCM becomes the basis for a full climate model. The more complex GCMs are fully interactive, but can lack reasonable accuracy at regional levels and can be very expensive to run.
However, while climate models can help scientists understand and predict the climate, they also come with limits. The global climate system is complex, and the role of both positive and negative feedbacks is not completely understood leading to uncertainty as to how the Earth system will actually respond to a warming climate. Yet, as our understanding increases, models can be refined, allowing climate predictions to become more accurate and dependable. Being able to reasonably predict future climate is a first step in helping to determine what can be done to help protect our environment.
Modeling Climate NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research discusses climate and provides examples of how the climate is modeled, describing various environmental phenomena that models help to explain and predict.

Expensive Equities
Retirees take resources from a society, and workers produce resources, he says.
In line with Gundlachs gloomy outlook for America, the Multi-Asset fund recently dumped some of its U.S. equities. Sherman says the stocks are too expensive and U.S. companies dont have much potential for growth. But the fund has added to its holdings of gold-mining companies and natural gas producers in 2012 because these stocks are cheap, he says.
Gundlach has made some prescient calls on stocks. He recommended in April that investors short Apple Inc. and hedge that bet by going long on natural gas. He said Apple was priced too high at $606 after the stock had risen more than sevenfold from January 2009 to April 2012. After that call, Apple stock fell about 4.7 percent through Nov. 29.
Even after the September release of the iPhone 5, which shattered Apples pre-sale order records, the company will struggle to reach its earnings potential without an innovator like Steve Jobs at the helm, he says.
Natural Gas
Gundlach made his recommendation on natural gas stocks after they fell 59 percent from January 2009 to April 2012. The prices plunged as producers extracted gas trapped in shale and created a supply glut. Gundlach says investing in natural gas now is similar to buying gold in 1997, when prices hit an 18- year low before a surge in the precious metals value.
The Standard & Poors GSCI Natural Gas Index increased more than 77 percent from April through Nov. 28, partly on demand from electrical utilities switching to gas from coal.
Even with timely calls like these, Gundlach has to overcome skepticism from investors that a bond guy can succeed in equities and other investments. DoubleLine, which had $39.8 billion in assets in its four bond funds as of mid-November, had gathered only $190 million for its Multi-Asset Growth Fund.
Lagging Returns
Started in December 2010, the fund includes natural gas exchange-traded funds, gold futures and currency and agriculture options as well as U.S. and international stocks. The fund returned only 4.3 percent in 2012 through Nov. 28, trailing the 14.4 percent gain in the Standard & Poors 500 Index.
We have confidence that when the opportunities arise within fixed income, DoubleLine will be able to take advantage of that, says Jeremy DeGroot, who helps oversee $8 billion in assets as chief investment officer of Orinda, California-based Litman Gregory Asset Management LLC. When you go outside of fixed income into broader multiasset allocation, we dont have that conviction. We havent done the work to give us confidence that they can successfully do it.
Self-assured as ever, Gundlach says hes indifferent to his reputation as someone without a track record outside of bond funds. I couldnt possibly care less; I dont have anything to prove, he says.
Morningstar Fight
Gundlach does care enough about what Morningstar opines that hes now fighting with the mutual-fund industrys preeminent rankings and research firm. In meetings, e-mails and phone calls, he has repeatedly complained to Chicago-based Morningstars executives that their analysts are biased against DoubleLine.
In a July 18 report on DoubleLines flagship fund, entitled Swim at your own risk, Morningstar senior analyst Sarah Bush cautioned investors about Gundlachs use of volatile mortgage- backed derivatives such as inverse floaters, which are debt instruments whose coupon payments decrease when short-term interest rates increase.
DoubleLine co-founder Barach dismisses Bushs concern, saying the securities make up less than 3 percent of the funds investments and have performed well over the past 20 years while also providing cash flow.
Morningstar has been dead wrong on DoubleLine since December 2009, Gundlach says, referring to the month he started the firm. They dont understand what Im doing.
Bush says she met with Gundlach in April. She says DoubleLine later declined to fill out a detailed questionnaire that would have helped explain the Total Return Bond Funds performance.
TCW Cheerleader
We got a call saying they had cooperated enough, says Bush, who stands by her analysis.
Gundlach also accuses Morningstar senior analyst Eric Jacobson of being a cheerleader for TCW, Gundlachs former employer.
Whats so reprehensible here is, Jeffrey called and said, If I were you, I would fire Eric, says Don Phillips, Morningstars president of investment research and Jacobsons boss. Eric was one of the most early and ardent supporters of Gundlach.

WASHINGTON -- The chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords says the Arizona congresswoman has not yet been told the details of a Jan. 8 shooting spree in Tucson that wounded her and 12 others and killed six, including a staff member.
Pia Carusone said Wednesday on CBS's "The Early Show" that Giffords knows there was a traumatic event, but her doctors have said it would not be fair to tell her everything that happened until she can ask more detailed questions.
Giffords was shot in the head. She is undergoing rehabilitation in Houston and can have simple conversations.
Jared Loughner is charged in federal court with killing a federal judge and Giffords aide Gabriel Zimmerman and attempting to kill Giffords and two other staffers.

Q: What is atrial fibrillation?
A: A heart condition that affects an estimated 2 million Americans, atrial fibrillation (AF) is rapid, irregular electrical activity in the heart's upper chambers.
Q: What happens during atrial fibrillation?
A: Normally, your heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat controlled by electric signals that are produced by cells within the heart. In atrial fibrillation, part of the heart beats irregularly and too fast, causing your body to not receive the proper amount of oxygen.
Q: Who normally suffers from atrial fibrillation?
A: AF can occur in otherwise healthy people with no known heart disease, and is most often detected during stress or exercise. AF also shows up in people who've had coronary heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, heart valve disease, an inflamed heart muscle or lining, or who recently have had heart surgery. People with atherosclerosis (arteries lined with fatty deposits) and angina (chest pain) sometimes have it, and it also has been linked to congenital heart defects.
AF sometimes appears in people with chronic lung disease, pulmonary blood clots, emphysema and asthma. Other factors that affect risk for AF are thyroid disorders, diabetes, high blood pressure, excessive alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking-some of which are modifiable.
Q: Can atrial fibrillation cause other health problems?
A: AF can lead to other heart rhythm problems, chronic fatigue, heart failure and stroke. If AF is left untreated, the overactive heart muscle can weaken and stretch, making it harder for the heart's upper chambers to contract properly. Not only does this increase your risk of stroke, it also can lead to congestive heart failure.
Q: What are the symptoms of atrial fibrillation?
A: See list below:
Q: How is atrial fibrillation diagnosed?
A: AF most commonly is diagnosed with the help of an electrocardiogram, which allows the physician to see if your heart's electric signals are normal.
Q: How is atrial fibrillation treated?
A: Once diagnosed, AF traditionally is treated by medication to prevent blood clots. In some cases, surgery may be required or electric shock is used to change the beat of your heart. There is no known cure for AF, therefore the goals of treatment are to prevent blood clots from forming, control your heart rate within a relatively normal range, and restore a normal heart rhythm, if possible.

MSI Hawk GTX 460 SLI, nvlddmkm error
Hello everyone,
About four days ago I was playing an MMO and out of nowhere my mouse froze up. Every time I moved my mouse even a fraction of an inch, my computer would freeze for about 5-10 seconds and then recover until I moved my mouse again. As long as I don't touch my mouse, then whatever game I'm playing is controllable through the keyboard or hotkeys.
I ran a driver cleaner to clean out the Nvidia drivers, reinstalled them, reinstalled Setpoint, updated every driver that ran anything on my computer, checked that my BIOS was current, and even switched mice thinking that maybe the mouse had just gone bad. Nada. My mouse will cause freezes anywhere from five minutes to five hours into any game I play.
So then I started taking a look at the windows system logs every time it happened and I noticed that at the exact time this starts happening, and every single time without fail I get the following error:
The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
I'm at a complete loss as to what is causing this. The error leads me to believe it is a graphics driver issue, but the fact that the games are still playable and only my mouse starts to malfunction leads me to believe the error is somewhere else. Also, it's very intermittent. One day, I can play a game for 5 hours before it locks up and the next day I will get lock ups every 10 minutes for an hour.
My system specs are as follows:
Asus Rampage III formula Motherboard
Core i7-950 CPU w/ Coolermaster Hyper212+ CPU fan
6GB Corsair Dominator RAM
2x MSI Hawk GTX 460's in SLI
120GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD w/ OS and all games running on it
2x WD Caviar Black 6GB/s 1TB hard drives in RAID 0
Corsair 1200W Modular PSU
HAF 932 Full tower
Windows 7 Ultimate 64
Saitek R.A.T. 7 Cyborg mouse (Was using a Logitech G9x when issue surfaced, also both are wired mice, so no conflicts the router signal)
Logitech G15 Keyboard
Netgear WNDR3300 Dual Band Router /w DD-WRT Flash (router was constantly crashing last month so I did a 30/30/30 reset and flashed it with a third party firmware... and now no router crashes but my system has started crashing.)
If anyone else has seen a problem like this and has a fix for it, then I would greatly appreciate any insight you can give me on this matter.

Scientists studying aircraft condensation trails and the resulting creation of artificial cirrus clouds remain uncertain about the level of impact they have on climate change, but generally concur that air traffic management (ATM) will have a key part to play in reducing the phenomenon.
It is thought that contrails and contrail cirrus, which are produced by aircraft during the cruise phase of flight when the air is cold and damp, could prevent heat escaping from the atmosphere, therefore increasing global warming.
Speaking earlier this month at the Royal Aeronautical Society's Aviation and Climate Change: How to Address the Balance conference in London, Hermann Mannstein, a research scientist at the German Aerospace Centre's Institute of Atmospheric Physics, said there is still a "big question mark" over how much contrails and contrail cirrus contribute to climate change.
However, he notes that aircraft can avoid producing contrails in three ways: flying lower, flying higher or flying "smarter". "Contrails cannot be avoided by making better engines," says Mannstein. Instead, he adds, the solution can be provided by ATM through "higher flexibility in routeing".
This view is echoed by John Green, consultant chief scientist at the UK's Aircraft Research Association, who believes that disrupted airline schedules will be "the price to pay" to reduce any additional impact on climate change caused by contrails.
"ATM providers are the lead operators in contrails and contrail cirrus, but they are only likely to do something if mandated by the government," says Green.
Time of day is another factor being taken into consideration, because night flights are thought to produce longer-lasting contrails.
Keith Williams, a climate research scientist at the Hadley Centre - part of the UK's Met Office - says there is a "partial offsetting" of contrails and contrail cirrus during the day, due to the Sun's energy.

Youngsters win Wear-Tyne derby
by Ashley Houghton
Laidler and Smith secure 2-0 win for the young Black Cats.
Sunderland's development squad closed the gap on Barclays U21 Premier League leaders Fulham to one point with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United at the Stadium of Light.
Jordan Laidler and Martin Smith bagged second-half goals for Kevin Ball's side on an evening of thorough profession and work ethic from the young Black Cats.
Sunderland, who haven't played a competitive fixture in three weeks, were efficient off the ball and constantly probing when in possession as they extended their unbeaten run to three league games.
The young Black Cats battled hard in the early stages and, despite seeing more of the ball, struggled to break down an experienced Magpies' backline that featured Paul Dummett, Remie Streete and Massadio Haidara.
Dummett and Newcastle midfielder Alex Gilliead both headed wide in the opening half hour with the first real chances of the game.
Ross Holland fed through Laidler for the young Black Cats' first chance of the first-half, though the North Shields-born frontman fired wide on the angle.
Michael Richardson found rare space in between Sunderland's central defensive pairing of Tom McNamee and Scott Harrison ten minutes before the break but he headed straight at Jordan Pickford in the Black Cats' goal.
England U19 international stopper Pickford had to be sharp to deny Gilliead an opener early in the second-half as the Magpies' wide man cut in from the left and fired a low shot down to the Washington-born keeper's right.
Ball's side continued to push for an opener, though their efforts looked to be in vein as George Honeyman fired across the six-yard box and Laidler's faint touch steered the ball wide at the far post.
However, Laidler was presented with the opportunity to make amends when Connor Oliver was bundled over by Streete just inside the penalty area with the Sunderland striker stepping up to send Jak Alnwick in the Newcastle goal to his right but firing the ball into the bottom left-hand corner.
Laidler could have doubled the advantage minutes later as he showed power to beat Dummett and latch onto Pickford's long kick before firing wide from just inside the area.
Smith was denied a goal after being on the pitch for just eight minutes as he latched onto a loose ball on the edge of the area and saw his curling effort excellently saved low to his left by Alnwick.
However, the Redby-born youngster, who captains Sunderland's under-18 side, was not to be denied a dream Stadium of Light debut as he latched onto Lynden Gooch's through ball and exquisitely poked past Alnwick.
Ball's side return to action at Everton next Monday evening knowing a win could take them back to the top of the Barclays U21 Premier League.
Sunderland: Pickford, Cartwright (Smith, 70), Ferguson, Oliver (Beadling, 72), Harrison, McNamee, Mitchell, Laing, Laidler, Honeyman, Holland (Gooch, 77).

Hi guys,
I recently (yesterday) was diagnosed via a prick test that I have allergies to rice, walnuts, pork and grapefruit. I have already am pork, walnut, and grapefruit free, but I am having trouble finding gluten free and rice free foods. Does anyone know any good gluten and rice free recipes? or products. I am also trying to limit corn. And to top it all off I am a college student without a job, so would it just be a good idea to cut out all grains? like the paleo diet? (I haven't done much research on this so I may be thinking of something else)

Justin Anyijong scored 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds as Toledo snapped a school-record 19-game losing streak by beating Ball State 45-42 on Feb. 27.
The Rockets (4-26, 1-14 Mid-American Conference) led 30-15 at halftime, outshooting the Cardinals 48 percent (12-for-25) to 15.8 percent (3-for-19) in the first 20 minutes.
Toledo's shooting turned cold in the second half, dropping to 26.3 percent (5-for-19), but Ball State didn't improve enough, making 34.6 percent (9-for-26). The final margin was as close as the Cardinals (15-13, 8-7) got since the game's first 8 minutes.

Randy Davis had 14 points and eight rebounds and Jarrod Jones had 13 points and 11 rebounds for Ball State.
