People who violate the new restriction face a fine. The amount hasn’t been determined yet but Timian says it could be as much as $250.

Nerlins Noel fell to No. 6, where the New Orleans Pelicans took him and, then dealt his rights to the Philadelphia 76ers for a package headlined by All-Star guard Jrue Holiday.
Boston traded up three spots in the draft to get Gonzaga 7-footer Kelly Olynyk. General Manager Danny Ainge described him as a complementary player who will fit in well with Rajon Rondo, Avery Johnson and Jeff Green.

In world and national news…

For a woman with faulty mitochondria, scientists take only the healthy genetic material from her egg or embryo, transfer that into a donor egg or embryo that still has its healthy mitochondria but has had the rest of its key DNA removed. The fertilized embryo is then transferred into the womb of the mother. Opponents say it’s unethical and there are alternatives.

But North Korea’s nuclear aspirations will likely be a major topic just the same.
LONDON (AP) – One of the most successful rockers in history mused today about the career that might have been — Mick Jagger, schoolteacher.
