Do yourself a favor. Don't try to figure out where the Sharks will finish in the NHL standings. Don't try to predict which playoff matchup will be best for them. It will drive you nuts. It will waste your time. It will potentially cause your head to explode.
Which is why you should let me do the forecasting instead. I'm pretty sure that my brain matter is less valuable than yours.
(Note: If you are Dennis Rodman, please disregard the previous sentence.)
We've got less than two weeks left in the season. The Sharks still could complete the season anywhere from a No. 4 seed to out of the playoffs. By my calculations, this means that they could play any of nine teams in the first round. (I didn't include Phoenix, which might be mathematically possible but realistically not.)
But which team would be the best possible opponent for the Sharks?
That's the most important question by far, you see. It's a far more important issue than where a team is seeded. In the NHL, seeds traditionally mean less than in any other sport. Last season, the Los Angeles Kings finished as the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference and won the Stanley Cup. In past years, the Sharks have finished as a No. 1 seed and proceeded to lose in the first round -- or have advanced in the first round three times as a No. 7 or No. 8 seed.
Some teams just match up better than others against the Sharks' strengths and weaknesses. So let's take a look at the options and rank the possible first-round foes for our beloved Los Tiburones in terms of best and worst matchups. You might be surprised at my conclusion.
So here we go. I will list the teams alphabetically. But because it has become clear that Raffi Torres is suddenly the symbol of all good teal fortune, I will rank each potential opponent on a scale of 1 to 10 Raffis -- with 10 being the best possible matchup for the Sharks and 1 being the worst.
ANAHEIM: This would be an intense series but one the Sharks might find favorable. They beat the Ducks three times in five games this season and once you get beyond Anaheim's top offensive line or power play, the anxiety level drops severely. Although, of course, Shark-killing goalie Jonas Hiller always looms. Matchup Preference: 6 Raffis.
CHICAGO: No. No, no, no, no, no. And no. This is not the team anyone wants to play. But the Sharks especially. The Blackhawks blitzed out to their remarkable 21-0-3 start and have not really eased off that much. As of Friday morning, their last regulation defeat was March 29. Against the Sharks, Chicago is 3-0 with an 11-5 goals advantage. That accounts for about one-eighth of the goals that Antii Niemi has allowed all season. Matchup Preference: 1 Raffi.
COLUMBUS: Bless the Blue Jackets. No franchise needs or thirsts more for playoff success. And it would be great for the NHL to see Columbus keep playing into May. The Sharks won't face the Jackets in the first round without some crazy results between now and April 28 -- the Sharks would have to finish No. 4 and Columbus would have to jump to No. 5 -- but if it occurs, the Jackets could be a tough out from all the momentum. Either that, or Columbus could be exhausted from the late-season push. I'd probably go with the latter. Matchup Preference: 9 Raffis.
DALLAS: Almost impossible to happen but since it might, have to consider what a series would be like. So here's what it would be like: Ugly. The Stars are 3-0 against the Sharks, although one victory was in overtime. Without those six points, though, the Stars would have dropped out of playoff contention two weeks ago. Matchup Preference: 3 Raffis.
DETROIT: Also an unlikely first round opponent for same reason as Columbus. But you never want to see Pavel Datsyuk in your building with the puck on his stick and a game on the line, no matter how much the Red Wings have struggled over the past three months. Matchup Preference: 6 Raffis.
LOS ANGELES: After that thriller shootout victory over the Kings this week, I think we were all eager to see these teams meet up again and again and again. But that does not mean it would be the best thing for the Sharks. The Kings, on paper, are one of the West's two best teams. And Jonathan Quick is one amazing goaltender. You might rather test this team in Round 2 or Round 3 after it has been knocked around a bit. (Although that didn't seem to matter last year). Matchup Preference: 3 Raffis.
MINNESOTA: There would be so many great angles for a Sharks-Wild series, given the cross-pollination of the rosters. And you would have to say Minnesota has been generally sputtering down the stretch. However, Zach Parise is a scary guy in the clutch (his last-minute tying goal for the USA against Canada in the Olympic gold medal game is an indelible memory) and Devin Setoguchi is the type of streaky player who could come alive and cause trouble. Matchup Preference: 4 Raffis.
ST. LOUIS: After watching the Blues grind down the Sharks in five games last spring, I'm not sure a repeat confrontation is advisable. Ken Hitchcock is also one of the league's best playoff coaches because his system fits the tight-game, tight-spaces mojo. It's the classic bad matchup for the Sharks, who lost two of three to St. Louis this season. Matchup Preference: 2 Raffis.
VANCOUVER: I think this is the Sharks' best bet. There's something about the Canucks that doesn't seem quite right or solid this season, even though they are the likely winners of the Northwest Division and thus finish as the No. 3 seed. Yet Vancouver's roster appears much less formidable than two years ago in the Canucks' conference finals victory, thanks to injuries (Ryan Kesler has played in only 12 games) and general weirdness (the whole Roberto Luongo-on-the-bench-as-a-backup-tweeting-goalie thing). In spite of the Sharks' inconsistency this season, they were 3-0 against the Canucks: Matchup Preference: 10 Raffis.

Post subject: Baby car seat base
My daughter wants to purchase a Graco Tour Sport travel system with the Logico S
car seat base. She has a Yaris 4 door X reg but when a salesperson fitted the base
she said it had 'buckle crunch' and was not suitable.
I am rather concerned now cos I have a Yaris 2 door Y reg, had the older style
Graco car seat base fitted in my car today and was told it was ok. I know it is not
the same but surely there cannot be a lot of difference, or is there?? I have tried
to obtain info from Graco but was told the car seat base was not fitted in a Yaris so
they did not know if it was suitable. Rang a Toyota dealership and the salesman
there told me he didnt think there would be a problem!
Has anybody else had this problem.? My daughter is very upset as she only has
8 weeks to go and had her heart set on this travel system but now has to go and
select another system.
Look forward to hearing from anybody who has a Yaris and which seat they used.
Many thanks Rose

Post subject: Car Seat for Toyota Yaris
Thank you Laura G for your reply. The sales person told my daughter the seat was not suitable but she has since been to Halfords and they told her it fitted!! They remarked that
some sales people could be more cautious but they were happy to say the fit was ok!!
My daughter is a happy bunny now that she can have the system she likes.

"The Simpsons" (8 p.m., Fox): In a very special 550th episode (that's no typo), characters are drastically altered to look like plastic residents of a Lego world. So, what, did the artists guzzle too much Duff Beer?
"Resurrection" (9 p.m., ABC): We see dead people. Lots of them! In the season finale, Arcadia is in a state of chaos as the return of the deceased reaches a critical mass. Feeling like he's out of options, Bellamy (Omar Epps) is forced to ask for outside help, but that backfires in a horrible way.
"Silicon Valley" (10 p.m., HBO): No need to reboot. This goofy, tech-centric comedy continues to win us over. Tonight, Erlich (T.J.

On another front, after Gavin Belson (Matt Ross) and Peter Gregory (Christopher Evan Welch) unexpectedly come face-to-face, an already stressed-out Richard (Thomas Middleditch) learns that he only has eight weeks to prepare for a live demo at TechCrunch Disrupt.

The Internet just told me Lindsay Lohan has a boyfriend. And the Internet never lies.
Actually, it's People.com that reported that Lohan is seeing former football player and reality show star Matt Nordgren.
Lohan met Nordgren, 30, a former University of Texas football star who played one season with the Philadelphia Eagles, seven years ago.
Nordgren starred on the 2011 Bravo reality show "Most Eligible Dallas" and has been linked to former "The Bachelorette" star Vienna Giardi and former "The Hills" star Audrina Patridge.
"We've hung out," he recently told the New York Post of Lohan. "But I have been a friend trying to support her for many years now. She's completely sober now. She's in a great place and working hard and meeting with all the right people."
"Meeting?" So that's what the kids are calling it these days.
The Dallas native is a partner in his family's energy conservation firm Nordco Inc. A friend said he's been good for Lohan.
"She is very happy and very committed to staying sober," said the Lohan friend. "He drinks but not irresponsibly and not in front of her. He is close to her whole family."

'Curb Your Enthusiasm' actor Jeff Garlin arrested
Published: Monday, June 17, 2013 at 8:57 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 17, 2013 at 8:57 a.m.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police say "Curb Your Enthusiasm" actor and comedian Jeff Garlin has been arrested on a felony vandalism charge after a dispute with another motorist over a parking space.
Police Sgt. Harry Rosenfeld says the 51-year-old actor was arrested for allegedly smashing the windows of the other person's car. Rosenfeld says officers arrested Garlin in Studio City on Saturday.
Garlin was jailed on $20,000 bail. It wasn't clear from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's website if he had been released. Garlin's publicists didn't immediately respond to phone and email messages Sunday.
Garlin played Larry David's friend and manager on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and was the show's co-executive producer. He's also appeared frequently on "Arrested Development" and numerous other television shows.
TMZ first reported his arrest.

Yarn Profile:
Classic Elite Yarns Fresco
First Impressions
Fresco is a fine three-ply blend of 60% wool, 30% baby alpaca, and 10% angora. The soft yet durable wool (most likely Peruvian Highland) gives the yarn a strong yet lofty and elastic foundation. The baby alpaca gives the yarn greater softness, a slightly glassy halo, and a somewhat slippery, dense hand. And the angora adds a wee hint of fluff to the whole thing.
At just 10%, the angora content of this yarn is actually quite minimal—like a whiff of chocolate-chip cookies from an open door, it's just enough to remind you of what you could be enjoying if there were more angora in the mix. For those who think angora is too fuzzy or scratchy, take heed. Like the California roll is to sushi and Merlot is to red wine, Fresco is a very gentle introduction to the land of angora yarns.
Knitting Up
The label suggests you knit Fresco on size US 5 (3.75mm) needles to achieve a gauge of 6.5 stitches per inch. At that gauge, the relatively relaxed fabric has good drape to it, and the yarn easily accommodates textured stitchwork such as Feather and Fan.
But for pure stockinette, my fingers craved something finer. I dropped the needle size down to a US 4, then 3, and finally 2, at which point the fabric really started to come alive. In terms of stranded colorwork, the yarn is much happier (and safer) at 7 stitches per inch or finer. At that gauge you don't run the risk of seeing the other colors being stranded along the back of your work. With a palette of 35 rich colors, it's obvious that Classic Elite also sees this yarn as a colorwork candidate.
Blocking / Washing
My swatches did not bleed or fade in their bath, and they dried without a change in gauge. Their transformation from polite swatch to cohesive fabric wasn't immediately visible until after the swatches had dried and been handled.
You have to touch this fabric to coax out the halo. I advise yarn store owners to knit several swatches (or better yet, knit a pair of fingerless mitts), give them a good washing, and then leave them out for customers to touch. What you see on the skein is nowhere near as marvelous as what happens later.
For high-wear projects such as socks, I'd definitely consider knitting at a finer gauge to help protect the fibers from abrasion. Over time my swatches (knit on US 5 needles) developed patches of fog over the surface, but it took quite a bit of abrasion before any pilling began.
Knit at a tighter gauge, I would love to see Fresco used in socks, mittens, fingerless mitts, or a cozy hat, outerwear that you want to be cohesive and warm. At 164 yards per skein, you'd only need one or two to do the trick. (The Fresco Mitts would be perfect.)
Knit at the looser end of the gauge spectrum, it could deliver a stunning shawl. The solid coloring will let the stitchwork take center stage, and the glossy halo will give the entire piece an ethereal quality. You'd need more yarn, but at $8.50 per skein, the project would still be affordable.
And right in the middle, I see beautiful detailed sweaters with the kind of nuance and tailoring you can only get at such a finer gauge.
I only wish the yarn had more angora in it, and perhaps less alpaca, although suggesting this to a Peruvian mill would almost be blasphemy. To me, it seems like more angora would help fill out the stitches and give the finished fabric a more full, powdery halo. But that's just me—it's still a very nice yarn. You can pretty much trust your own instincts and know that the yarn will follow you on whatever journey you choose to take.

Nickel Creek is back in action, after a nearly seven-year hiatus, and the reunion coincides with the band's 25th anniversary. The progressive bluegrass act, which features mandolinist Chris Thile, fiddler Sara Watkins and guitarist Sean Watkins, performs Monday at the beautiful Mountain Winery in Saratoga.
Nickel Creek was in excellent form during a sold-out show in May at Oakland's Fox Theater, delighting its fans with a superb set of nearly two dozen acoustic songs. The trio's sound was fleshed out by some expert bass work by virtuoso talent Mark Schatz, who also added some dance steps and a hambone routine to the mix.
One of the things that makes this reunion so special is that it was beginning to look like it might never happen. Seven years is a mighty long break, especially for an outfit that was formed by a bunch of preteens. (Sean, the band's oldest member, was just 12 when Nickel Creek started.) Plus, all of the players went on to experience success outside of the Creek — especially Thile, who collaborated with such instrumental titans as Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer.
The Southern California group, which first came to widespread fame with its platinum-selling eponymous effort in 2000, is offering more than just nostalgia on this trek. It's also pedaling a long-awaited new album, "A Dotted Line," which is Nickel Creek's first outing since 2005's ominously titled "Why Should the Fire Die?"
Show time is 7:30 p.m. The Secret Sisters are also on the bill. Tickets are $39.50-$69.50, www.mountainwinery.com.
Arcade Fire, one of the world's most popular modern-rock troupes, has been a regular presence in the Bay Area in recent months. The Canadian band performed an acoustic set at the Bridge School Benefit concerts at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View in October. Then it quickly returned to headline one of radio station Live 105's Not So Silent Night gigs at Oracle Arena in Oakland in December. Now, Arcade Fire will support its most recent offering, "Reflektor," with a full-length headlining set on Wednesday at Shoreline. Show time is 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $30.50-$70.50, www.livenation.com.

U.S., China Lead 2nd Quarter Energy Investment: Report
July 31, 2013
Global investment in clean energy was $53 billion in the second quarter of 2013, up 22% from the first quarter, mainly because of an upturn in the financing of wind and solar projects, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The rebound was led by the United States, which saw investment grow 155% compared to its first quarter, reaching $9.5 billion. China's investment was up 63% to nearly $14 billion.
Europe saw investment fall 44% compared to the first quarter of 2013, reaching $9.5 billion, that continent's lowest quarter total for more than six years. The downturn in Europe led to a drop in global investment in clean energy in the second quarter of 2013 ended up 16% below the figure for the second quarter of 2012, the report said. Overall, the biggest category of investment between April and June 2013 was asset finance of utility-scale projects, such as wind farms and solar parks, with a total investment of nearly $32 billion, up 39% on the first quarter but down 21% year-on-year. See the Bloomberg New Energy Finance press release.

Conductive Education was developed by Andres Peto (1893-1967) in Budapest, Hungary, in 1945. Peto's concept led to the establishment of the "Institute for the Motor Disabled," in the 1950's, today known as the "Peto Institute." The Peto Institute continues to provide CE services to children and adults worldwide. It also serves as an educational institution for conductor-teachers.Due to the "iron curtain," CE did not reach the US until the early 1980s. The first CE-based program in the U.S. was established in New York in 1989. The main force responsible for the spread of CE in the U.S. was parents of children with motor impairments.The spread of CE worldwide was occurring concurrently. Noted training institutions include The Peto Institute (Hungary), The National Institute of Conductive Education (Birmingham, England), and Aquinas College (Grand Rapids, Michigan).Today CE is practiced around the world, including programs in Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Asia, and North America. In keeping with the demand from North American families and rehabilitation specialists, GSU offers a one-year certificate in CE.
For additional information regarding the Conductive Education Certificate program, please contact: Roberta K. O'Shea, PT, Ph.D., Program DirectorProfessor, Physical Therapy Department at GSU 708.235.3994FAX: firstname.lastname@example.com
Evidence exists to support the efficacy of CE, although more studies are needed (AACPDM; Bourke-Taylor, O'Shea, Gaebler, 2007). This certificate program aims to equip graduates with the skills to conduct research that will add to the evidence base.
All practitioners providing an intervention service for children with Cerebral Palsy must provide evidence to support the efficacy of their service. CE programs must comply with such standards, and ensure that programs are inclusive of progress occurring within medicine and the health sciences. One such advance is the importance of addressing functional goals within the context that the task is most frequently performed . This would suggest that professionals do need to provide services within the child's natural context, including practitioners working within a CE setting (Bourke-Taylor, O'Shea, Gaebler, 2007).An example is evident in the change in approach to improve hand use in children with CP. Therapy goals have progressed from reducing impairment in the affected limb to models of practice that focus on increasing participation in specific activities using frequent practice of the exact task requirements in similar contexts. Wider environmental issues have a major influence on the child's participation in activities at home, school, and community. Intervention to reduce task constraints and provide a more enabling environment for children with CP at home demonstrates improvement in the abilities of the child in identified tasks of importance (Bourke-Taylor, O'Shea, Gaebler, 2007).

Which international player in NBA do you like best? Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Yao Ming, Pau Gasol, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Andrei Kirilenko, or who else?
My favorite is Steve Nash!
Im going with Tony parker. I just love his style of play. He is what a guard should be. Cant go wrong with steve nash though.
Hard to picture Steve Nash being international player being from the island of Victoria which is right off the coast of Washington but it is Canada none the less. Im going with Dirk becuase he has been one of the most consisent players this past decade. Much like Tim Duncan never really getting the hype but just very fundamental.
Rudy Fernandez or Nic Batum from the Blazers!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew Bogut of the bucks. He's gonna be big in a few years, he's already pretty much carried his team to playoff contention.
No, Brandon Jennings and John Salmons are the ones who are bringing the Bucks to playoff contention.They ,at least, went on a 5-0 win streak when Salmons joined the Bucks. Why didn't they have a win streak that long before? Because they didn't have John Salmons.
Steve Nash
Nash was born in Joannesburg, South Africa.
Fair enough but the fact that bogut's starting to hit his stride is a large part of their success as well. Not everyone can just get to the NBA and immediately be awesome you know.
mine is tim duncan he was born in the virgin islands
Hilario Nene
my faves are the big 3 from the spurs.manu,tony,tim
i would have to say that the big three up in san antonio have been the most sucessful but my favorite has to be dirk nowitzki because hes the best shooting 7 footer of all time and im a shooter so u have to admire that
I have to go with Kyrie Irving from Melbourne, Australia. Love the way he plays and I like the Cavs.

3-year-old found wandering Reidville Road parking lot
Published: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 9:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 9:26 p.m.
A 3-year-old girl was taken to the hospital after she was found wandering in a parking lot off Reidville Road wearing nothing but shoes and a T-shirt. Her mother has been charged, according to deputies.
Jennifer Marie Wanek, 22, of 1993 Reidville Road, Room 310, Spartanburg, has been charged with neglect of a child/helpless person, an arrest warrant states.
A driver passed by Valvoline on Reidville Road about 7:30 a.m. Sunday and saw the child walking in the business parking lot, according to an incident report. He stopped to help the child and found that she was wearing only shoes and a wet T-shirt, the report states. He called 911.
Spartanburg EMS responded and found that the child had a body temperature of 95.9 degrees and needed to be hospitalized, the report states.
Deputies spoke to Wanek at Southern Suites motel, at 1993 Reidville Road. She said she and her boyfriend, Joshua William Taylor, 23, of 4640 1/2 Chesnee Highway, Mayo, were sleeping and had no idea the child had left the room, according to the report.
Deputies found no food in the refrigerator or cabinets. Taylor was also arrested and charged with accessory before a felony, according to a warrant.
The child has been placed in Department of Social Services custody, the report states.
Wanek and Taylor remained at the Spartanburg County Detention Facility on Sunday. Their bonds have been set at $2,500.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – The University of Pikeville women's basketball team narrowly missed with its bid to upset the Patriots of No. 25 St. Catharine College by a final score of 59-57.
The Bears (5-12, 2-8 in the Mid-South Conference) led for the first 38 minutes of the game, but junior guard Machera Calhoun tied it at 55 with 1:52 to play. Dutch junior Rianne Hofstraat swished a three-pointer with 1:24 left to put the Patriots up for the first and only lead change of the game, 58-56.
The Bears' upset bid was fueled largely by strong, team-based defense. Harshly limited shot selection for St. Catharine meant the Patriots finished the first half shooting just 6-of-31 (19.4 percent) from the floor.
A combination of two things however would be the Bears' undoing. Firstly, the Patriots' offense was able to execute much more easily in the second half, and finished the game 21-of-55 (38.2 percent) from the field. Secondly, the Bears aggression on defense meant they were called for 26 fouls to the Patriots' 12, resulting in 32 free throws being taken by St. Catharine compared to just 13 for UPIKE.
The Patriots were lead in scoring by senior center Janae Howard, who came off the bench to record 18 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots in 25 minutes of action. Senior forward Reilly Poirier narrowly missed a double-double, with 14 points and a game-high nine rebounds. Calhoun also added 10 points for the Patriots.
Freshman forward Peyton Wright continued to impress for UPIKE, going for 13 points and six rebounds without turning the ball over once. Junior point guard Jayme Jackson added 12 points along with four rebounds as well as four assists. Senior guard Sally Roberts closed out the list of Bears in double-figures, adding 11 points.
The Bears will be looking to make amends when they take on arch-rival Georgetown College on Saturday. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the East Kentucky Expo Center. The Patriots will continue to ride what is now a six-game winning streak into Saturday when the challenge U.Va.-Wise at 2 p.m.

Spa News: Dermalogica Shares Its Mindful Mantra for Success at Its Annual Global Education Conference
Dermalogica welcomed more than 120 Senior Instructors, Corporate Trainers and Education Managers representing more than 40 countries to the brand's 21st annual weeklong Global Education Conference in May, held at Dermalogica world headquarters in Carson, CA.
The emphasis of this year's conference, which included more than 35 different presentations, activities and skill workshops, addressed the importance of mindfulness through learning, relationships, communication and leadership. The Corporate offices became an oasis filled with plush couches, with classrooms transformed into mediation rooms where guests were encouraged to visit and unplug from every day distractions like cell phones and computers so they could fully immerse themselves in the present. The week began with mindful exercises to get the group centered with a special guest, Joey Soto, a mindfulness expert who specializes in teaching meditation and yoga to corporate executives, attorneys, parents, women and teens. Dermalogica Founder and Owner Jane Wurwand then kicked off the week by speaking on the Global Mindful Revolution and the need for us to be fully in the present. She challenged the rapt audience to think more deeply about who they are, where they are and why they are here. Wurwand's closing presentation at the end of the week focused on "The Third Metric: Redefining Success." Based on the bestselling book by Arianna Huffington, beyond money and power, there is a need to define a third metric that is founded on well-being, wisdom and the ability to give back. "Are you living your resume or your eulogy?" Wurwand posed the question to the crowd.
Other top highlights from the week included presentations by program host Annet King, Director of Global Education for Dermalogica and The International Dermal Institute, who shared insights on the importance of mindful teaching for greater student success, provided the new 2014 global curriculum, and presented an in-depth review on the medical spa landscape. Dr. Diana Howard, VP of Global Education and Research and Development for Dermalogica and The International Dermal Institute, introduced upcoming new products for the brand and presented "What's in your DNA?" which explored the philosophy and history behind Dermalogica's hero formulas. Lastly, Mathew Divaris, VP of Global Marketing and Creative, provided a poignant presentation based on the book by Irini Rockewell, which explores a Buddhist philosophy on the five wisdom energies, providing insight on the different types of personalities and emotions that make a leader.
Mindfulness and keen awareness of the customer also permeated the discussion of the brand's newest and most innovative professional product launch, the BioActive Peel. This powerful professional only acid-based treatment, developed to offer unprecedented exfoliation results, require that the skin therapist observe closely and communicate intimately in order to ensure an experience which is safe, effective and exciting to the customer — the opposite of a cookie-cutter treatment from a generic menu. The BioActive Peel and BioSurface Peel system is Dermalogica's latest advancements in interactive personalization, based upon the expertise of the professional skin therapist.

Published: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 at 3:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 at 3:52 p.m.
POLK COUNTY - The westbound lanes of Interstate 26 at mile marker 62 in Polk County are closed after a tractor-trailer overturned at about 2:30 p.m.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation estimates the road will reopen at about 9 p.m.
The NCDOT suggests following this detour: Exit 1, South Carolina 14. Turn left onto South Carolina 14 and continue to US-176 West. Turn right onto US-176 and continue to US-25 North. Merge onto US-25 to re-access I-26.

After Jaffrey woman's appeal, state argues voters' privacy at issue
The state of New Hampshire in its late February response to Sumner's suit — which is now before the N.H. Supreme Court — said that although the New Hampshire Constitution protects people's right of access to government documents that right is "not absolute." Such a public review of ballots would open Pandora's box, the state claims, to future "vote-buying schemes" and hostility among voters who cherish their privacy.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Throughout the summer of 2013, GoIslanders.com will look back at the best moments and athletic performances from the 2012-13 school year.
Every Thursday, we will bring you one of the top 10 individual performances, with Tuesdays bringing the year's top 10 moments. Be sure to keep tabs on GoIslanders.com throughout the summer to celebrate all the great moments.
Top Moment #9: Men's Basketball Shoots Lights Out vs. Southeastern La.
The Islanders men's basketball team wasn't known for its sharpshooting, but you wouldn't know it from the team's penultimate home game of the season, on Feb. 28 at the American Bank Center. The Islanders shot 26-for-43 (60.5 percent) from the field in the 78-64 victory, their first game shooting better than 60 percent since the 2009-10 season.
Johnathan Jordan led the way with an 8-for-9 performance from the field, his only miss of the night a forced layup as the shot clock wound down with just 27 seconds left in the game. The Houston native was 6-for-7 from the inside, 2-for-2 from beyond the arc and 3-for-3 from the free-throw line on the day. Furthermore, he added six assists against one turnover in the win. He narrowly missed setting a school record for most field goals made without a miss.
Will Nelson added 23 points and nine rebounds, doing most of his damage at the stripe with a 12-for-14 outing. Zane Knowles had a banner day as well, shooting 6-of-7 from the field to post 12 points of his own.
The Islanders closed out the season having gone 4-4 in their last eight conference games, with the four losses all coming to the league's top three teams, all of which advanced to the postseason.
Top Performances:
June 6 - #10: Jasmine Boutte Shines at SLC Indoor and Outdoor Championships
June 13 – #9: Johnathan Jordan's Double-Double at Lamar
Top Moments:
June 11 - #10: Dance Places 11th at NDA Collegiate Championships
