Take two of your four wider boards and place them together along the long edge. You'll end up with a square 9-1/2" wide, 12-1/2" long. Do this try run to make sure the cuts are even so that the boards come together to form an even rectangle. Repeat with the other two boards. These wider planks will be used to create your ends. Building this crate requires that you to adhere the two boards to make the ends. You have several options, including: Biscuit joints. The remainder of the tutorial will be using biscuit joints. Dowels Wood glue. Know, however, that this will not make a very strong box. Mark where you're going to adhere the boxes together on both blanks. For this tutorial, you'll use biscuit joints, though you can use any method you're comfortable with. Make sure you have three wooden biscuits as well as a biscuit drill. Three biscuit joiners for each end should be more than enough. If you're in a pinch, two will do. Like up the drill with your pencil marks and make a clean, quick cut with the drill. Repeat for the other 5 marks. One solid line of glue along the entire edge should be fine. Make sure each biscuit is snug inside the hole. Simply slot the biscuits into the slots on the other piece. Let the wood glue dry and your ends are finished. Use a rubber mallet to hammer the ends gently, but firmly, together. For the cleanest results, use a set of clamps to hold the two boards together as the wood glue dries. Now that the ends of the crate are finished, you can decorate them or add handles. You have several options: Using a table drill with a wide 1-2" drill bit, "punch" holes into each end to make a handle. Simply drill 3-4 holes in a small line to cut a handle in the wood. Using a power drill and some small screws, install two metal handles, like those found on cabinets, into the ends. If adding these handles, wait until the end to install them, as you'll need to lay the box down flush to the ground to finish it.
Summary: | Dry fit two of the wider boards together along the long side. Determine how you're going to adhere the two boards. With the wood pressed together, use a pencil to mark three spots for dowels or biscuit joints. Use your biscuit joint drill to make notches at each mark. Apply wood glue to all three biscuit holes on one of the planks. Insert a biscuit into each hole and firmly push it into place. Add a little more glue to the top of each biscuit, then attach the two boards together. Optional -- add handles to the ends. | 5 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |
"And All Through the House" is a special crypt episode not only because it's from the first season, but this episode was the first one I saw! I remember as a young man being on vacation with my parents that summer in 1989 in our hotel room in South Carolina on HBO I saw this episode and I was buried to the Crypt right then and forever! I had always been a fan of horror-suspense series and liked monster movies, and with this series started by HBO I again had fearful pleasure. This episode being the first one I saw is memorable for me and one of my favorites, it's just so enjoyable with a nice twist. "And All Through the House" has a nice cozy setting on a snowy Christmas Eve, which is a perfect way to get you relaxed for holiday chopping! Well anyway you have Mary Ellen Trainor(who by the way plays in several warner brothers works, usually small parts) as a greedy philandering wife who takes care of her hubby while waiting on some money and a new romance. Only like most horror series things take a turn for the worst and bad people get what they deserve. The odds are greatly stacked when a maniac dressed as Santa escapes from a local nut house, making for a late holiday chopping on Christmas Eve! As from the old E.C. comic lessons, you learn bad people get what they axe for! Well this tale ends with a perfect holiday scream! Also this tale was in the 1972 movie and featured Joan Collins, this is without a doubt one of my favorites and probably one of the classic crypt episodes of all-time!

A caliphate ( "khilāfa") is a territory under the leadership of an Islamic steward known as a caliph, a person considered a religious successor to the Islamic prophet Muhammad (Muhammad ibn ʿAbdullāh) and a leader of the entire Muslim community. Historically, the caliphates were polities based in Islam which developed into multi-ethnic trans-national empires. During the medieval period, three major caliphates existed: the Rashidun Caliphate (632–661), the Umayyad Caliphate (661–750) and the Abbasid Caliphate (750–1258). The fourth major caliphate, the Ottoman Caliphate, established by the Ottoman Empire in 1517, was a manifestation whereby the Ottoman rulers claimed caliphal authority. During the history of Islam, several other Muslim states, almost all of them hereditary monarchies, have claimed to be caliphates.
Prior to the rise of Muhammad and the unification of the Arab tribes of the Arabian Peninsula under Islam, the tribes of Arabia followed a pre-Islamic Arab polytheism, lived as self-governing sedentary and nomadic communities and often raided their neighbouring tribes. Following the conquests under Muhammad of the Arabian Peninsula, the region became unified and most of the tribes adopted Islam. The first caliphate, the Rashidun Caliphate, was established immediately after Muhammad's death in 632. The four Rashidun caliphs, who directly succeeded Muhammad as leaders of the Muslim community, were chosen through "shura, "a process of community consultation that some consider to be an early form of Islamic democracy. The fourth caliph, Ali, who, unlike the prior three, was from the same clan as Muhammad (Banu Hashim), is considered by Shia Muslims to be the first rightful caliph and Imam after Muhammad. Ali reigned during the First Fitna (656–661), a civil war between supporters of Ali and supporters of the assassinated previous caliph, Uthman, from Banu Umayya, as well as rebels in Egypt; the war led to the establishment of the Umayyad Caliphate under Muawiyah I in 661.

Use the following highlights to write an article:
Baby Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky was born at 7.03pm Friday September 26, and her birth-weight has not been revealed. Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge was born July 22, 2013, at 4.24am, weighing 8lb 6oz.
Article: | No-one it seems, is too elite to take a leaf out of Kate Middleton's style book when an important occasion calls, and that includes Chelsea Clinton, America's former first daughter. For when Chelsea emerged from Manhattan's Lenox Hill hospital yesterday evening cradling three-day-old baby Charlotte, she was dressed in near-identical attire to that worn by Kate last year when she first left St. Mary's Hospital in London with Prince George, now 14 months old. Chelsea's pale printed cornflower-blue dress, cut just above the knee, was slightly looser than the one worn by Kate, and she sported a fresh blowout - albeit a slightly less immaculate one than Kate's. All in all, however, the look was the same: fresh, modest, new-motherly. Spotted again! Chelsea Clinton left hospital with three-day-old baby Charlotte yesterday evening (left), opting for almost the same outfit as that worn by Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, when she left hospital with Prince George last July (right) Chelsea descended the steps of the hospital with little Charlotte wrapped in white swaddling, sporting a pair of low-heeled wedges - just like Kate did - flanked by her adoring husband, Marc Mezvinsky. Marc, an investment banker, made like Prince William, both first-time fathers, and stood protectively just behind his wife, letting she and baby Charlotte take center stage. He went one further in the public affection stakes, however, when he delivered a quick kiss to the top of Chelsea's head for all the world to see. Charlotte, whose birth-weight hasn't been released, was a surprise to Chelsea and Marc, who choose not to find out the sex of their unborn child. Kate and William on the other hand, knew they were expecting a boy, George, who weighed in at 8lb 6oz. Royal blue: Chelsea, America's former first daughter, had clearly treated herself to a post-birth blowout (left), much the same - if a little less coiffed - than Kate's last year (right) - and both wore low-heeled wedges. Eagerly awaited: Baby Charlotte's (left) birth-weight has not been revealed and her sex was kept as a surprise for her parents. George (right) weighed in at 8lb 6oz and Kate and William knew he would be a boy. Chelsea had the iron-clad support of her parents, former US president Bill Clinton and Senator Hilary Clinton, who accompanied the new couple out of the hospital. Kate's nor William's parents were present on the hospital steps for their big reveal. Kate, now pregnant with her second child, won widespread praise for choosing the dress she did for George's unveiling last July - a custom-made Jenny Packham polka dot number - which made no attempts to hide her post-birth mummy tummy. In fact, it made a show of it. Chelsea, whose looser dress swamped her curves, gave birth at 7.03pm Friday night, and announced the news a few hours later. Doting dads: Chelsea's husband Marc Mezvinsky planted an adoring kiss on his wife's head (left) while Prince William was clearly smitten too, if a little more reserved with his public display (right) Rabbit in the headlights: Both Marc (left) and William (right) appeared somewhat overcome by their new-found fatherhood and the media circus surrounding them. Details surrounding the actual birth have not yet emerged, but Chelsea stayed in the hospital for a full three days before checking out. Kate, who left the hospital only one day after giving birth, later described her own 11-hour labor as 'perfect.' An insider told Vanity Fair last year: '[Kate] said it was straightforward and there were no complications. She wanted a natural birth and she was so happy she was able to have one.' Proud grandparents: Chelsea had the support of her parents, former president Bill Clinton and Senator Hilary Clinton, who accompanied she, Marc and Charlotte out of the hospital (pictured) Easy peasy: Kate, who left the hospital only one day after giving birth, later described her own 11-hour labor as 'perfect' The dress: Pale blue paisley design with short sleeves, cut just above the knee and loose-fitting. The shoes: Royal blue suede low-heeled wedges with rounded toes. The hair: An almost-straight blowout, left with a natural kink. The make-up: Minimal, with just a faint hint of lipstick. Demeanor: Beaming with unrestrained pride, joy and excitement. The dress: Cornflower-blue polka dot empire-line design with short sleeves, cut just above the knee, custom-made by Jenny Packham. The shoes: Cream low-heeled sandal wedges with rounded toes. The hair: Kate's trademark blowout; sleek and finished with loose waves. The make-up: Polished, with groomed brows, blush and a hint of eyeliner. Demeanor:Glowing,elegant but evidently tired and a little nervous. Bill and Hillary met their granddaughter for the first time on Saturday, and shared photographs of them cooing over the baby, declaring themselves 'over the moon'. Moments before, Chelsea had shared the first picture of her daughter, which shows her cradling the baby next to her husband. The couple, who married in July 2010, announced in April that they were expecting their first child. Mummy tummy: Kate won widespread praise for the custom-made Jenny Packham dress she wore for her big moment, as it accentuated - rather than hid - her post-birth stomach (right) and Chelsea wasn't hiding hers either (left) Precious cargo: Hands-on William packed his new son George into a black SUV and drove his new family away from the hospital himself. Duties: Hilary and Bill arrive at Chelsea's Manhattan apartment shortly after they leave hospital to settle baby Charlotte into her new home. Bill and Hillary had been publicly gushing for months at the prospect of becoming grandparents, though Chelsea's exact due date had been kept quiet. In a recent TV interview, former President Bill said: 'I hope by the first of October, I'll be a grandfather.' Happily for him, his wish was granted. Gushing grandparents: The Clintons have made no secret of their longing for a grandchild - and posted this picture in celebration when Charlotte was born. 'We are in love': Chelsea posted this picture of her holding Charlotte with husband and new father Marc shortly after the birth. Last week, Hillary also excited fans as she told a crowd at political steak fry in Indianola, Iowa: 'Bill and I are on constant grandchild watch. So don't be surprised if we suddenly go sprinting off the stage. 'I want to babysit any chance I get,' she added. When Chelsea announced her pregnancy during a Clinton Foundation event devoted to empowering young women, she told guests: 'Marc and I are very excited that we have our first child arriving later this year. Luxurious: The Manhattan-based Lenox Hill hospital suite Chelsea chose for her birth offers huge, well-appointed rooms such as this (pictured) Royal chambers: Kate opted for a room similar to this one (pictured) in the private Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in London, where Princes William and Harry were born decades before. Hilary added: 'I certainly feel all the better whether it's a girl or a boy that she or he will grow up in world filled with so many strong, young female leaders. 'I just hope that I will be as good a mom to my child and hopefully children as my mom was to me.' Kate's carefully staged-managed outfit for the day she introduces the world to the second royal baby next year remains to be seen. Chances are that, when that day comes, Chelsea will be watching closely. | 8 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
As you age, exercise becomes a very important aspect of managing diabetes. Exercise helps increase the intake of glucose by your cells. However, it is common for adults to become more sedentary as they age, so you must make sure to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle in order to best manage your diabetes. You are encouraged to check your blood sugar before starting exercise and after you have finished. This will help you figure out the amount of insulin you need to inject. In cases where you are exercising for more than 45 minutes, it is encouraged that you check your blood sugar while exercising. You are encouraged to carry a diabetic snack when you exercise, because this will help avoid fainting when your blood sugar is low. Good snacks to carry include 3-6 small candies, glucose tablets, honey, a packet of sugar, and a cup of fruit juice. This will help you maintain a good balance of blood sugar in the blood, between 4.4 mmols and 6.1 mmols. As you get older, talk to your doctor about what exercises are best for you. As a young person, you may be involved in higher intensity exercise that should be reduce as you age. The US Department of Health recommend 2.5 hours per week of moderate intensity exercise for patients 18 to 64 years old, equivalent to 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity. However, patients above 65 years old should engage in lighter physical activities to limit chronic ailments and likewise avoid the risk of a fall. Especially if your blood sugar drops too much or rises too much during or after exercise, contact your doctor. Any exercise program should be started slowly and increased gradually. Exercise helps to reduce your blood sugar and manage weight. Start with walking for 30-45 minutes per day. You can also swim for half an hour per day. Children should have a guardian nearby who is aware of what should be done in cases where the sugar level is reduced. You can settle into an exercise routine by exercising at the same time, for the same period, and the same level of exercise every day. If you are helping a child deal with diabetes, try to instate this type of exercise plan early. This will help the child learn how to control their blood sugar level as they grow up. If you have type I diabetes, you are at an increased risk of stroke. For this reason, you are encouraged to keep your weight under control by maintaining an optimum BMI. BMI is a measure of your relative weight, based on the mass and height of the patient. BMI is measured by weight divided by height. The ideal BMI is 18.5-25. Therefore, a BMI of less than 18.5 means that the patient is underweight and BMI of above 25 means that the patient is obese.
Summary: | Understand the benefits of exercise to help manage your diabetes. Carry a diabetic snack when you are exercising to prevent low blood sugar. Talk to your doctor about exercise plans to accommodate your age. You should wear a necklace or a bracelet that shows you are diabetic. Try to maintain a daily exercise routine to ensure consistency as you age. Keep your body mass index (BMI) healthy to reduce your risk of stroke as you age. | 4 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

At East China University of Science and Technology, students who finish their food in the dining hall can get a coupon when they return their tray . They can exchange coupons for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers. "It's been a big surprise," said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student in the university of Shanghai. "It makes us try our best to finish the food!" But some food in the dining hall is so poorly prepared that students are _ to finish it all. Some schools have paid some attention to it. "The dishes in our canteen are all right, generally speaking. We've tried our best to make it tasty. But of course it's difficult to make all the students love it." said Wang. Other universities also pay attention to the size of food. At Nanjing University, rice is divided into three different-sized bowls that students can choose from. "I like to try different dishes at each meal. So I had to throw away a lot of food because the bowls were too big. But now the dining hall offers small sizes. It's great because I can try different dishes at half price and don't waste so much food," said Fan Peng, a student from Nanjing University. But what if you really can't finish all your food? Some universities also provide a take-away service. If you can't finish all your food, you can get a box to take the leftovers home. Even if you feed the cat, it's not wasted. So you see, if we call on students not to waste food, schools should also improve the service and meal quality.

Greta ran to the corner with her older brother Tony. He had money for the ice cream truck in his pocket and she was very happy. The ice cream truck had been parked at the curb waiting for children for a very long time. The ice cream truck driver thought that no more children were coming to get ice cream so he started pulling away from the curb when they got to the corner. They yelled. They screamed, "Stop! Stop!" and jumped up and down on the side walk trying to get him to see them. The driver of the truck saw them, waved at them and smiled, pulled back to the curb and opened his truck up so that they could see everything that he had for sale. They were so excited. They saw some new treats. Tony wanted to try something new. He got an ice cream sundae with chocolate ice cream and nuts. He almost got a snow cone. Greta looked at everything that the ice cream truck had. She saw candy, ice cream cones, snow cones, and everything else. It all looked so good. But after looking at everything, she wanted to get an ice cream sandwich. She got the ice cream sandwich. She bit into it and smiled. It tasted so good. She felt so happy. Her brother, Tony, was happy too. He bit into his ice cream cone sundae and grinned. They walked home with their ice cream and told their mom about how close they came to not getting their ice cream at all. Their mom was happy that the truck had stopped for them. She said that they were very lucky to have gotten to the curb before the ice cream truck left.

A coroner has ruled he "does not have sufficient cause" to open a full inquest into the death of Anni Dewani, who was killed on honeymoon in South Africa in 2010.
Article: | A murder case against her husband Shrien Dewani, from Bristol, was thrown out by a South African judge last year.
Three South African men were given jail terms for their role in her death.
Mrs Dewani's family had asked for an inquest to resume, claiming there were still unanswered questions.
But senior coroner Andrew Walker, at North London Coroners' Court, said he did not have sufficient cause to resume an inquest.
"In these proceedings, the matter will now rest," he said.
"The fact that there are differing accounts of how Mrs Dewani came by her death does not, in my view, mean that the matters have not already been sufficiently established in public proceedings."
He said he was "prohibited" from reaching a conclusion which was inconsistent with the findings of the South African courts, and added if new evidence came to light it would be up to Mrs Dewani's family to ask the Attorney General to reopen the matter.
Shrien Dewani, 34, did not appear at the court. Instead he sent a letter to the court for Mrs Dewani's family to read.
Timeline
Speaking outside the court, Mrs Dewani's uncle, Ashok Hindocha, said the family still needed questions answering to allow them "to move on with their lives".
"This battle is not over. We need answers," he said.
Mr Hindocha also called for Mr Dewani to "speak up".
"This is not a legal court, he should have just come here and said 'Look, this is what happened'," he added.
Anni Dewani, 28, was shot dead after the newly-married couple were hijacked during a late-night tour through Gugulethu township near Cape Town in November 2010.
Mr Dewani was released unharmed, but Mrs Dewani's body was found on the back seat of their taxi the following day. | 8 | Flan2021 | huggingface:xsum | zs_opt |

Green Bay's deficit increased in the third quarter as Brown gave the Texans a 41-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter, the Packers took the lead as RB Ryan Grant got a 6-yard touchdown run. However, the Texans replied with Schaub completing an 11-yard touchdown pass and a 2-point conversion pass to wide receiver Andre Johnson. Green Bay would tie the game as Rodgers completed a 9-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jordy Nelson, yet Houston pulled away as Brown nailed a 40-yard field goal as time ran out.

Here is an article:
I like to divide the college basketball regular season into three mini-seasons. The first third is the non-conference play that's ending right now; this is the time when we test all the assumptions we had heading into the season. The second third is the beginning of league play, where we get to separate the non-conference frauds from the real things. The final third begins when a Super Bowl winner is crowned in February and every other American sport is over -- sorry, hockey -- and hoops takes center stage, with college basketball talk centering on who's in for the NCAA tournament and who's out.
The first third of the season is for the most hardcore of college hoops fans. You know those ugly, hateful, awful people who will first hear the names "Jahlil Okafor" or "Stanley Johnson" when they start filling out their brackets in March? College hoops has been the furthest thing from their minds the past six weeks. But for people like you and me, non-conference play is a quirky, fun, unique part of the season.
It's filled with out-of-nowhere upsets (Hello, NJIT! Pleased to meet you, Incarnate Word!). It's packed with overnight sensations (like Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky, who first burst onto the national scene last November with a school-record 43 points and is this season considered a front-runner for Player of the Year honors). And we get the national big-stage introductions for those exciting, young talents we've seen rise through the high school ranks over the years, like when the Duke freshman triumvirate of Okafor, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow toppled Wisconsin in Madison earlier this month, or when Kentucky's Karl-Anthony Towns and Tyler Ulis went to Louisville last weekend and hushed the Cardinals crowd.
It would be silly to compare the excitement of non-conference season to the excitement of March. Nothing compares to March Madness, and surely not mismatch December games in arenas that are only half-full. But the level of intrigue, the joy of trying to project three months ahead, the annual process of checking your preseason expectations against early-season realities? It's all there.
As we head into league play, here are 10 things we learned from November and December that ought to be good markers as we march toward March.
1. Kentucky. Whoa. It feels like everything has already been said about this ridiculously talented, absurdly tall, surprisingly put-together John Calipari team. That the Wildcats might have one of the best defenses ever. (The 'Cats currently have the best defensive efficiency in the decade-plus that statistic has been kept, and Louisville's Rick Pitino said it was one of the best defenses he's faced in 40 years of coaching.) That they're going to go undefeated. (I wrote about this possibility in October and was mocked; UCLA coach Steve Alford brought it up a little over a week ago after his team got buried by Kentucky and it seemed somewhere between realistic and likely.) That they could beat an NBA team. (An NAIA coach whose team got demolished by Kentucky in an exhibition said the Wildcats could beat some NBA teams; the Philadelphia 76ers checked their schedule to make sure there weren't any open spots left.)
These things are not non-conference hyperbole. Kentucky is every bit as good as advertised for two reasons: Its ridiculous depth allows Calipari to experiment with playing platoons, and its surprising (for Kentucky) level of experience, with so many sophomores and juniors having experienced last year's up-and-down season. In a down SEC (zero non-Kentucky teams currently in the AP Top 25), entering the NCAA tournament undefeated -- even though winning the next 21 games is far from a foregone conclusion -- seems entirely within the realm of possibility. KenPom.com puts the chance at nearly 25 percent; I'd put it closer to 50.
2. But don't inscribe "Kentucky Wildcats" on the national championship trophy just yet. And that's not just because picking the field in a sport where there are 351 teams is always more prudent than picking the single most dominant squad. It's because the top two tiers of college basketball are very, very bunched up this season, with tons of well-coached young talent and tons of experience.
Start with Duke. That's the only other team I put in the same tier as Kentucky. Coach K and his No. 1-ranked recruiting class -- featuring the aforementioned Okafor, Jones and Winslow -- are an offensive juggernaut and vastly improved from last season on defense. Okafor is the most singular player in college hoops, the presumptive No. 1 pick and the type of big-man talent we haven't seen in college hoops since perhaps Tim Duncan. What makes this team the biggest challenge to Kentucky, though, is the fact that the freshmen don't play like freshmen; it's as if they've all played together for years.
And several other teams in a jam-packed second tier might -- might -- be able to beat Kentucky on any given night. Like Gonzaga, a team that's nearly as tall as Kentucky and can absolutely shoot the lights out. Or Louisville, whose pressing defense gave Kentucky its biggest challenge yet two days after Christmas. Or Arizona, which has looked shaky at times but might be the most balanced team in college hoops and knows how to win close games. Or Wisconsin, a team that controls the tempo and has elite talent. Or Villanova, a typical Jay Wright guard-heavy team. Or Virginia, with a back-line defense that ranks third on KenPom.com, behind only Kentucky and Louisville. Or a trio of Big 12 teams: Texas, which was tied with Kentucky at halftime despite missing its starting point guard, or Kansas, which you have to assume will only continue to improve in league play, or Iowa State, which can score like no other team in hoops.
3. The Big 12 is the best. And it's not particularly close. This is what I expected going into the season, with four teams -- Kansas, Texas, Iowa State and Oklahoma -- that were going to contend for the league crown and be ranked in the top 15 most of the year. But even with Kansas' couple of non-conference stumbles -- an understandable blowout at the hands of Kentucky and a surprising blowout at the hands of Temple -- this league has lived up to, and maybe even surpassed, those expectations.
The Big 12 doesn't have the single marquee team at the top of the league like the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big East, but the conference has an otherworldly amount of parity and a depth we haven't seen since the old Big East -- especially considering this is only a 10-team league. Seven Big 12 teams are ranked in the top 25 in KenPom.com, and that doesn't include perennial cellar-dweller TCU, which is currently undefeated and just outside the AP Top 25. (Pay no heed to TCU's last-in-nation non-conference strength of schedule.) Baylor, Oklahoma State and West Virginia have all been pleasant surprises. It feels like a league that's likely to again send seven teams to the NCAA tournament -- and could even send an eighth.
4. The Big East is the most surprising. Half of the Big East has been ranked in the AP Top 25 at some point these first six weeks: Villanova (undefeated and ranked sixth), St. John's (11-1 and 15th), Georgetown (8-3, 25th), Butler (10-3, currently unranked but peaked at 15th) and Creighton (9-4, currently unranked but peaked at 23rd). Something tells me Xavier and Providence have a shot at going on a run in Big East play.
I know the AP poll isn't exactly reliable as to which teams or conferences are actually the "best," but computer rankings are. The Big East ranks third on KenPom.com (behind the Big 12 and ACC) and second in conference RPI (behind only the Big 12). The non-conference schedule has been jam-packed with eye-opening upsets: Creighton over Oklahoma and Nebraska, Butler over UNC, St. John's over Syracuse, DePaul over Stanford.
But the team I think has the best chance to compete with Villanova? Georgetown. Yes, the Hoyas have three losses, but these were all one- or two-possession games to really good teams: a three-point loss to Wisconsin, a six-point loss to Butler, a five-point loss to Kansas. If the Big East gets five of its 10 teams in the NCAA tournament, which feels likely, that would be a huge success for the newly reconstituted league.
5. The national Player of the Year race is ... complicated. A year ago at this time, the Player of the Year conversation was mostly narrowed down to one. There was Doug McDermott, and there was everyone else. Part of that was a legacy award for a historically dominant senior, but mostly it was that there was clarity on who was the best college basketball player. There's no such clarity this season.
If you put a gun to my head, I suppose I'd pick freshman center Jahlil Okafor of Duke -- not just because he's the presumptive No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft, but because there haven't been too many players more valuable to a team that could win it all. But I wouldn't think you were crazy if you tossed out a number of other names who you think are leading the race now or who might be leading the race three months from now.
Like Louisville's Montrezl Harrell, who is averaging a hair shy of a double-double; he was the reason Louisville hung in there until the final minute with Kentucky. Or Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky, the most valuable player for a team that ought to run away with the Big Ten. Or Willie Cauley-Stein of Kentucky, who has made the most out of somewhat limited minutes in the John Calipari platoon system. Or Kevin Pangos of Gonzaga, whose numbers aren't gaudy but who is so important to what Mark Few's team does. Or Delon Wright of Utah, one of the nation's best point guards for one of the nation's most surprising teams. And a number of other players could emerge with strong conference seasons, like Jerian Grant of Notre Dame, Georges Niang of Iowa State and either Rondae Hollis-Jefferson or Stanley Johnson of Arizona.
6. The hot seats have turned cold. I'm torn about the preseason "hot seat" lists. We all whisper about which coaches might get fired if they have subpar seasons, but it feels like there's something uncouth about predicting in writing whether a man is about to lose his job.
But although I didn't publish my own hot-seat list heading into this season, you better believe I had one in my head. And of the coaches who were on the supposed hot seat going into this season, most of them have done surprisingly well heading into conference play. Last weekend, I looked up a preseason hot-seat list from a well-respected basketball journalist -- a list that I would have agreed with going into the season. Here are some names on that list whose jobs feel a lot more secure heading into the New Year: Tom Crean of Indiana, Travis Ford of Oklahoma State, Steve Lavin of St. John's, Mark Turgeon of Maryland, Kevin Willard of Seton Hall. It just shows how quickly things can change in college basketball. Remember before last season, when Stanford's Johnny Dawkins and Texas' Rick Barnes were on the supposed hot seat? Then Stanford headed to the Sweet 16 and Barnes' team reinvented itself and is now ranked 11th, a team that will contend for the Big 12 crown.
7. Plenty of schools that we used to call mid-majors will be hanging around deep into March. The word "mid-major" is one of the most poorly utilized terms in college basketball. We use that term to describe a program that doesn't have the resources that the big-time schools have. But it's better to refer to conferences as mid-major conferences and realize that mid-major conferences can still have high-major schools in their ranks. (There are also schools in high-major conferences that operate like mid-major basketball schools, but I'm not going to name any; no reason to alienate any coaching sources.)
Look at Gonzaga and the West Coast Conference; that's a high-major school in a mid-major conference, because Gonzaga's resources can compete with most high-major schools. Ditto for Wichita State in the Missouri Valley and VCU in the Atlantic 10. Of the non-mid-major-mid-majors, the most legit is quite clearly Gonzaga; this is a team that could (should?) make a Final Four. Wichita State is a notch behind, and VCU a notch behind that.
But if you're wondering what the best true mid-major team is heading into conference play, look toward Cedar Falls, Iowa, at the former home of NCAA tournament hero Ali Farokhmanesh. Northern Iowa is experienced, deep, well-rounded and talented, with a plodding pace that could be a March equalizer against the high-major type team the Panthers would run into in the NCAA tournament. They're ranked 23rd in the AP poll and 26th on KenPom.com. The Panthers could very well push Wichita State in the Valley.
8. Tony Bennett is the best coach nobody talks about. And his Virginia Cavaliers are the best team nobody talks about. Maybe that's what happens when you're in a conference with four of the five active Hall of Fame coaches in college hoops. It appears last season, when Virginia won the ACC regular-season crown and conference tournament, was no fluke, as the Cavaliers look every bit as good this year.

Maybe this is the Wisconsin Curse: When a team's style of play is perceived as plodding (and Virginia ranks 348th of 351 teams in college basketball in tempo, per KenPom.com), that team is more easily overlooked. If you were one of those people who thought losing Joe Harris and Akil Mitchell would mean Virginia would take a step back this season -- I'm not ashamed to admit I was one of those people -- then Malcolm Brogdon, Justin Anderson and Anthony Gill are making you look pretty dumb right now. This is the nation's best defense outside the state of Kentucky.
9. About the Big Ten, we learned ... very little. Other than the conference better instruct its teams to focus a little bit harder during supposed cupcake non-conference games, as most of the non-conference schedule's biggest upsets happened in the Big Ten: NJIT over Michigan, Incarnate Word over Nebraska, Eastern Washington over Indiana. We learned this conference is still Wisconsin and everyone else, which is what we expected going into the season. Wisconsin is a legit national title contender, but the rest of the conference is filled with unknowns. Maryland and Penn State, both one-loss teams heading into Big Ten play, could make an unexpected dent in this conference, although Penn State's non-conference schedule was pretty horrendous, so that one-loss record is a bit misleading.
Who could finish second in the Big Ten? It's wide open. Here are the teams I think could finish second, in my order of probability: Ohio State, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan State, Maryland, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska and -- hell, why not, since betting on John Beilein never seems like a bad idea -- Michigan. That's nine teams in a 14-team conference that could contend for second place. Recipe for some pretty fun league play, no?
10. We live in a Golden Age of coaches. And it's not just about Coach K nearing 1,000. It's not just about the four other active Hall of Famers currently coaching (Jim Boeheim, Roy Williams, Rick Pitino and Larry Brown). It's not just about the surefire future Hall of Famers (Bill Self, Tom Izzo, Billy Donovan, John Calipari and plenty more).
It's about those up-and-coming youngsters who are breathing new life into the game. It's about 46-year-old Sean Miller at Arizona, who'll get over that Final Four barrier one of these years soon. And his younger brother Archie, whose Dayton team made a surprise run to the Elite Eight last year. It's about the fieriest young coach in the land, Gregg Marshall of Wichita State ... the most exciting, Shaka Smart of VCU ... the most cerebral, Fred Hoiberg of Iowa State ... the most debonair, Jay Wright of Villanova ... the biggest defensive genius, Tony Bennett of Virginia ... the list goes on. Look through the teams in the Top 25, and the teams who are most likely to make a mark during this conference play is an impressive list of the men who are not just shaping the current world of college basketball, but the future as well.

– Bomb threats sent to locations from coast to coast on Thursday—including schools, universities, police departments, and news organizations—appear to be a hoax, authorities say. The threats follow a common pattern, WLS-TV reports: They involve an email warning of a hidden explosive and a demand for the deposit of a large sum of money into a bitcoin account to avoid detonation. Threats were sent to dozens of locations across the US, per the AP, which reports that the subject line of some of the emails read “Think Twice.” No explosive devices have been found, USA Today reports. New York City police, who were investigating multiple threats, say the threats were intended to cause disruption and extort money. The NYPD Counterterrorism Bureau tweeted, “These threats are also being reported to other locations nationwide & are NOT considered credible.” Locations in California, Idaho, Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts, and Florida, among others, received threats. In a statement, the FBI says it is aware of the threats and working with local law enforcement, adding, "As always, we encourage the public to remain vigilant and to promptly report suspicious activities which could represent a threat to public safety." (A bomb threat recently got CNN's studios evacuated.)
Expand this summary. | NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities say bomb threats sent to dozens of schools, universities and other locations across the U.S. appear to be a hoax.
The New York City Police Department said the threats sent Thursday were meant to cause disruption and compel recipients into sending money and are not considered credible.
Some of the emails had the subject line: "Think Twice."
The Palm Beach County, Florida, sheriff's office and the Boise, Idaho, police said they had no reason to believe that threats made to locations in those areas were credible.
Across the country, some schools were closed early and others were evacuated because of the threats. Penn State University notified students via a campus alert. Near Atlanta, people were ushered out of a courthouse. ||||| CLOSE Police departments across the country responded to bomb threats emailed to targets demanding bitcoin. USA TODAY

A torrent of bomb threats emailed to universities, businesses, schools and news outlets Thursday from New York City to San Francisco sent police departments scrambling to sort out what appeared to be a nationwide electronic hoax aimed at extorting bitcoin from its targets.
The New York City Police Department said the threats were meant to cause disruption and compel recipients into sending money and were not considered credible.
There were no reports that any actual explosive devices had been discovered, but the threats alone had forced many police departments to monitor and investigate.
"We are currently monitoring multiple bomb threats that have been sent electronically to various locations throughout the city," The New York City Counterterrorism Bureau said on Twitter in the afternoon.
"These threats are also being reported to other locations nationwide & are NOT considered credible at this time," the statement said.
The FBI tweeted on Thursday evening that the agency is "aware of the recent bomb threats made in cities around the country" and urged the public to "remain vigilant."
The emails were sent to tens of thousands of targets nationwide to dozens of cities, including Seattle, Orlando, Atlanta, San Francisco, Oklahoma City, and Detroit an continued for hours.
Many of the threats demanded $20,000 in bitcoin, according to AppRiver, a Florida-based cybersecurity company that obtained copies of the emails. Some had the subject line: “Think Twice.”
In one, the sender warned that a "recruited mercenary" had placed an explosive device in the targeted building and would detonate it unless the payment was made.
Troy Gill, manager of security research at AppRiver, said the poorly worded emails, which used non-native English, were being sent by a server in Moscow, although it was not clear whether the perpetrators were located in Russia or elsewhere in the world.
In one message, obtained by AppRiver, the senders said, "We are not a terrorist society and dont (sic) assume liability for acts of terrorism in other places."
Gill said they appeared to be related to a recent flood of "sextortion" emails in which the sender tried to extort money from the recipient by threatening to release embarrassing video.
In Detroit, police were dispatched to the Guardian Building and the Wayne County Treasury building, after an officer received a threat to blow up the Treasurer’s building Thursday.
“One of our employees got an email threatening that if money wasn’t transferred into a designated account, they were going to blow up 400 Monroe,” Pageant Atterberry, a Wayne County Sheriff’s spokeswoman, told The Detroit News. “Then, we got an anonymous phone call from someone threatening to blow up the same building. DPD is in charge, and they’re evacuating the building.”

At Capital University in Bexley, Ohio, Yochum Hall was evacuated because of a bomb threat. Similar threats were also sent to the University of Washington, Penn State and Niagara University. In New Jersey, even middle and high schools received bomb threats.
The San Francisco police department said on Twitter that its forces had responded to reports of bomb threats "at numerous locations throughout the city and had responded to each location."
Chicago Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a tweet the threats in that city followed in the same pattern as others around the country:
“#ChicagoPolice are working with federal partners on the investigation, and at this time there is no elevated threat level in the city of Chicago,’’ the tweet said.
Other cities reporting similar threats were Oklahoma City, Seattle, Detroit and Buffalo.
•In North Texas area, towns of Arlington and Irving in the Dallas-forth Worth metropolitan area also fielded threats. According to the Twitter site, DFW Scanner, which monitors local police radio, the bomb threats have demanded a large payment of bitcoin.
•In Massachusetts, the state police said its Fusion Center was tracking "multiple bomb threats emailed to numerous businesses in the state." It said its bomb squad had notified local police departments.
• In Orlando, officers responded to bomb threats at the Bank of America Center tower downtown, at an office park and a townhouse building, The Orlando Sentinel reported.
The Orlando Police Department said it was is assisting federal authorities in investigating the threats, the newspaper said.

Are loud coaches at risk for throat cancer?
Doc Rivers was back at Celtics practice yesterday, after having a potentially cancerous lesion removed. Doc cracked wise that "I'm going to be around for a while. I'm sure that disappoints everyone."
But what's interesting is that Doc goes to the throat doc every year for an extensive checkup of a part of him that he feels is vulnerable. The checkups, which include having a small camera inserted in his throat, were originally urged by former Celtics and current Pacers coach Jim O'Brien.
Said Rivers to the Boston Herald: "I've done it the last three years . . . I think most coaches should because we yell, use our throat a lot, and it makes you more susceptible."
And with his throat recovering, Rivers used assistant coach Lawrence Frank as his mouthpiece.
"I kind of like Lawrence as my megaphone," said Rivers.

The discovery of infrared radiation is ascribed to William Herschel, the astronomer, in the early 19th century. Herschel published his results in 1800 before the Royal Society of London. Herschel used a prism to refract light from the sun and detected the infrared, beyond the red part of the spectrum, through an increase in the temperature recorded on a thermometer. He was surprised at the result and called them "Calorific Rays". The term 'Infrared' did not appear until late in the 19th century.

The Nintendo DS or simply, DS, is a 32-bit dual-screen handheld game console developed and released by Nintendo. The device went on sale in North America on November 21, 2004. The DS, short for "Developers' System" or "Dual Screen", introduced distinctive new features to handheld gaming: two LCD screens working in tandem (the bottom one featuring a touchscreen), a built-in microphone, and support for wireless connectivity. Both screens are encompassed within a clamshell design similar to the Game Boy Advance SP. The Nintendo DS also features the ability for multiple DS consoles to directly interact with each other over Wi-Fi within a short range without the need to connect to an existing wireless network. Alternatively, they could interact online using the now-closed Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Its main competitor was Sony's PlayStation Portable as part of the seventh generation era. It was likened to the Nintendo 64 from the 1990s, which led to several N64 ports such as "Super Mario 64 DS", "Diddy Kong Racing DS", among others.
Prior to its release, the Nintendo DS was marketed as an experimental, "third pillar" in Nintendo's console lineup, meant to complement the Game Boy Advance and GameCube. However, backward compatibility with Game Boy Advance titles and strong sales ultimately established it as the successor to the Game Boy series. On March 2, 2006, Nintendo launched the Nintendo DS Lite, a slimmer and lighter redesign of the original Nintendo DS with brighter screens. On November 1, 2008, Nintendo released the Nintendo DSi, another redesign with several hardware improvements and new features. All Nintendo DS models combined have sold 154.02 million units, making it the best selling handheld game console to date, and the second best selling video game console of all time behind Sony's PlayStation 2. The Nintendo DS line was succeeded by the Nintendo 3DS family in 2011.

CLOSE On average, there are 123 suicides per day in the United States. If you or someone you know needs help, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK. USA TODAY
Amanda Southworth is founder of Astra Labs (Photo: Amanda Southworth)
Sitting alone in a lifeguard tower watching the sun sink below the horizon, Amanda Southworth had a decision to make.
This Los Angeles teen, gripped by depression and anxiety, could continue on as she had, not eating, addicted to painkillers and attempting repeatedly to kill herself, or she could grab a lifeline and use her love of coding to save her own life and others.
On that chilly summer evening in 2015, she hatched the idea for AnxietyHelper, a mobile app that offers the resources she herself needed and embarked on a journey of healing and recovery that has led to a career in the tech world.
“I can honestly say that technology has saved my life,” Southworth said. She says she hasn't harmed herself or attempted suicide since. “When I found something greater than myself, I realized that I am not just a person with a life. I am a person who has something to contribute.”
Now 16, she has dropped out of high school and last month started her own company — but not the way most young technology entrepreneurs do. Astra Labs is a software nonprofit funded by donors and a $25,000 grant from the TOMS Social Entrepreneurship Fund. She spoke to USA TODAY from Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose, California, on Friday.
Southworth's commitment to creating mobile apps and other software that help others was reinforced this week. The deaths of designer Kate Spade and chef and television host Anthony Bourdain were grim reminders of the toll of suicide, the 10th-leading cause of death in the United States and one of three that is increasing, particularly for teens.
The suicide rate for white children and teens ages 10 to 17 rose 70 percent between 2006 and 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although black children and teens kill themselves less often than white youth do, the rate of increase was higher, 77 percent.
Southworth estimates she has been mentally ill for more than half her life. She says she attempted suicide at least seven times.
The bottom fell out when, as a nerdy kid, she moved to a new town for middle school, where she had no friends and felt like an outsider. Southworth used to send her future self emails that reflected her feelings of isolation and worthlessness: “I hope you’re not alive to get this email.” She daydreamed at school about killing herself. She'd wake up in the morning and cry that she was still alive.

What saved her: a sixth-grade robotics club in 2011, which introduced her to the possibilities of technology and inspired her to soak up knowledge about web development and artificial intelligence from the internet and textbooks.
Her first app, AnxietyHelper, a mental health resource guide, debuted in the app store in September 2015 during her ninth-grade Latin class. Her excited classmates downloaded it, and she finished the day with 18 users. Even that small achievement gave her belief in her own power and a sense of purpose, Southworth says.
“I was always very destructive toward myself. Coding is the opposite. It’s about creating. It’s about taking different characters on a keyboard and transforming them into something bigger than you,” she said.
In May 2017, she launched a mobile app called Verena for the LGBTQ community after friends were bullied in the tense political climate around the presidential election. Verena, which means protector in German, locates hospitals, shelters and police stations and users can create a list of contacts to be alerted in an emergency.
"Everything in my life has shown me that both good and bad things in this world will continue to happen and that's out of our control. But it's what we do with the things that happen to us that can make all of the difference," she said in a TedX talk last November in Pasadena, California. "My name is Amanda Southworth, I’m 15 years old, a junior in high school and I'm still alive."
"I can honestly say that technology saved my life," says Amanda Southworth, founder of Astra Labs. (Photo: Amanda Southworth)
Building apps relieves stress and helps her cope and problem solve, she says. And helping others has helped her heal herself.
“The more I work, the more I do what I love, the better I feel,” she said.
Until she started Astra Labs, Southworth bootstrapped her apps, working random tech jobs. The apps are free, and she runs no ads and does not collect user data. “My core philosophy is that people should not have to pay for something if their life would be ended without it,” she said.
Three more apps are in the works: one to help turn handwritten class notes into study guides and practice tests, another to help people follow political and social issues they care about and a third that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to help those with schizophrenia determine when they are experiencing hallucinations.
People come up to Southworth and say: Your app stopped me from killing myself. One user told her the app helped her after a rape. A facilitator at a tech summit confided that if her friend had had the Verena app, that person might still be alive.
Stories of suicide, like that of Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, whose music helped Southworth through dark passages in her life, still haunt her.
“Maybe if I worked a little harder on this," she said. "I could have gotten help to him or to someone else thinking about suicide.”

Fifteen-year-old Amanda Southworth, discusses how her struggle with mental illness and suicidal thoughts inspired her start coding. She used this outlet as a tool to develop apps designed to help others stop suffering in silence and find the courage to reach out and change their life. To her surprise, however, her apps not only helped others, but gave her a purpose...and a reason to stick around. Amanda Southworth is a programmer, designer, and creator of the apps, AnxietyHelper and Verena. She has been coding since she was 10 years old, and created both of her apps when she was just 15. Her apps are designed to provide safety, information, and emergency help to those who are struggling with mental illness (AnxietyHelper) or are a member of the LGBTQ+ community and need emergency support (Verena). In 2017, Amanda won the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) Scholarship from Apple. She also worked with Teen Vogue to write articles about her experience at WWDC, and report live from the event. A born problem-solver, Amanda is passionate about using her privilege and experience to help those who don’t have that same privilege. She is committed to using the platform she’s growing to spread a message that (hopefully) helps others too. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx |||||
What is a shorter version of the above article? | – For anyone struggling with anxiety or grinding depression, Amanda Southworth has a story to tell. She had moved to a new town where she had no friends and was bullied. She was depressed and anxious. She dreamed of killing herself. She even sent an email to her future self that said, "I hope you’re not alive to get this email." In 2011 when she was in the 6th grade, she was saved by a robotics club that drew her into the world of web development and artificial intelligence.

And last month, the 16-year-old started Astra Labs, a non-profit software company funded by donors and a $25,000 grant. Her apps are free and she doesn’t accept ads.

(CNN) -- Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi will not be part of the African Union's next attempt to map out a peace deal in the war-torn nation, the organization said in a statement Sunday. "The AU high-level ad hoc committee welcomes Colonel Gadhafi's acceptance of not being part of the negotiation process," the statement said. It was unclear who would represent the Libyan government in negotiations, or when negotiations would occur. Journalists were not allowed to ask questions at a news conference after Sunday's meeting of the African Union's special committee on Libya in Pretoria, South Africa. Members of the committee have met with Gadhafi and opposition leaders over the past three months. Another African Union-led attempt to broker peace between Gadhafi and the rebels fell through in April.

Coming off their road win over the Bills, the Saints went home for a Week 4 interconference duel with the New York Jets. New Orleans would deliver the game's first points as kicker John Carney got a 34-yard field goal. In the second quarter, the defense went to work. Safety Darren Sharper would return an interception 99 yards for a touchdown, followed by defensive end Will Smith forcing an endzone fumble by sacking Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, which allowed defensive tackle Remi Ayodele to land on the ball for a touchdown. Afterwards, New York closed out the half with kicker Jay Feely's 38-yard field goal. The Jets would begin a comeback attempt in the third quarter with running back Thomas Jones getting a 15-yard touchdown run. Afterwards, the Saints would close out the game with running back Pierre Thomas' 1-yard touchdown and the defense making an impressive stand. With the win, New Orleans would enter its bye week at 4-0.

Summarize this article:
Hostas can be propagated by dividing a mature plant. The best times for dividing plants are in early spring or late fall, about a month before the frost comes. Hostas do not need to be divided, but you can divide them if you want to propagate more plants, or want to give them away to other gardeners. As your hostas grow, they will produce new offsets every year. You can easily divide the hosta without digging up the entire plant by locating and removing these new offsets. The offsets will look like new clumps of growth that pop up around the parent plant.
Summary: | Pick the right time to divide the plants. Locate a clump of new growth. | 2 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |
