Doug Erny was his normal personable self.
The former Lejeune High basketball coach was smiling, laughing and having a good time with some of his coaching counterparts Thursday as coaches and players all met at the
It was as if Erny had never taken a year off from coaching high school basketball.
Still, one thing was noticeably different.
Instead of sporting Lejeune's maroon-and-gold attire, the 48-year-old Erny was wearing a Jacksonville High T-shirt, a sign that he was indeed the Cardinals' new coach.
Erny was hired as
"I guess I was a little bit rusty because the first night (of summer workouts) I forgot to take a whistle to practice," Erny quipped. "But basketball hadn't changed in a year. You still got to get the kids to buy into what you're trying to do and you got to get it to where they know you have their back. I think that's what we are working on."
But after the first sound of a basketball dribbling off the court, Erny was back in business. He said it didn't feel different coaching a team inside
At Lejeune, Erny was 406-195 and led the Devilpups to NCHSAA 1-A East Regional trips in 1993, 1994, 2002 and 2006.
"To me, you're in a gym with a goal and you're still trying to get your team to do their best," Erny said. "It doesn't matter if your practice is in the Bird Cage or in the Dean Dome, practice is practice. You want to make it up-tempo for these kids, but you want to make it fun, especially in the summer."
Erny said that prior to the ECI that his team has practiced eight times, attended a two-day camp at
"I think we have developed a good rapport with the kids who have been in the gym," Erny said. "All the kids seem to get along and coach Jordan has been very instrumental in bridging the gap between them and us since we are all new."
The players seem to like the easy-going Erny.
"It's fun, but it's hard," senior guard Chris Smith said. "He's like, 'If you don't work hard, you won't be on this team.' I took it serious. He is straightforward."
Smith was second on the team last year in scoring, averaging 10.7 points per game for the Cardinals, who finished 10-16 overall, 5-9 in the Coastal 3-A Conference and lost at
Winning more games is the ultimate goal for Erny and the Cardinals. However, he wants
"I think the biggest adjustment is we play man-to-man defense and they've played a lot of zone and seen a lot of zone," Erny said. "They are having a real hard time grasping the team concept of defense, help defense and being in the passing lanes.
"We've just put in a couple of traps and full-court things. I'm just trying to get them on the mentality that they need to play hard every minute."
That includes playing as a team on both ends of the court, junior center Billy Bodette said.
"He really emphasizes team ball and I think that's going to be good for us," Bodette said of Erny. "We just need to play as a team."
But more importantly, Erny wants a solid effort. Erny's Lejeune teams weren't always the most athletic, but his teams were rarely outworked on the court.
"I want to see them play hard from start to finish, whether things are going good or going bad," Erny said. "I want them to get after it, get on the floor after loose balls and I want to see our offense go a little bit more than one pass.
"The effort has been great and the kids have been really working hard trying to get my system down. We are a little bit behind, defensively, from where I'd like to be, but the effort has been there.
"I know we've thrown a lot of stuff at them and for some of them, they've had three different coaches the last three years. Obviously their heads are swimming a little bit, but they are doing a good job trying to do it."

Holllaaaa if you're a Husky!
My name is Raegan and I am SO excited to meet you. I am a transfer student from BYU and love it here at UW Bothell. I was born and raised in the greater Seattle area and am so glad to be back. I am planning on majoring in Biology and/or Health Studies. A few of my favorite things about campus are the sports fields, fitness classes, and the people. I am a huge advocate for what student life is all about and love getting involved with conferences and clubs on campus, as well. I have been loving the dances, cultural nights, and volunteer opportunities. I'm getting my own club up and running as we speak so I'm pretty pumped about that.
A little more about me? I am a licensed Zumba instructor and love to spend days choreographing. I love to sing and strum away on my guitar and ukulele. I love to craft, bake, hangout with my family, and try new things. I have a Great Dane who I love cuddling with and I love getting outside! I did cheer and gymnastics for nine years of my life and love coaching and helping out with local high school and rec teams. Last but not least, I'm a huge Disney person and I believe magic is a fancy word for optimism.
Can't wait to see all of the new students and kick off this year with the rest of the awesome orientation leaders. Be gold!

Absolutely Beautiful!
I ordered the large cards with Cornflower, Scarlet, and Ivory as my colors. They came out even more beautiful than I expected. The paper is great quality and the colors are vibrant, clear, and crisp. I would absolutely recommend this product, but I'd definitely get a sample one sent out first. The original blue that I chose was a little darker than what I had wanted, so I was able to switch to Cornflower. You can't beat the pricing either!
I chose save the date cards for our 50th wedding anniversary
I am very pleased with the cards and the return address lables. The only problem was that the envelopes had a silver lining and they were not able to replace them with envelopes that had a gold liner. Because this is a golded anniversary I will have to purchace other envelopes.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), released the following statement on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' June 2014 jobs report showing that 288,000 total nonfarm jobs were added and the unemployment rate fell from 6.3% to 6.1%:
"Today's employment report marks 52 consecutive months of private-sector job growth and shows our economy is on stronger footing as we head into the summer. But as I said when the President visited Minnesota last week, too many working families are still treading water. Our focus now must be on solutions that strengthen the middle class and give more hardworking Americans a fair shot by raising the minimum wage, making college more affordable, and investing in workforce training."

Taxes have been around so long that, along with death, they're the only certain thing in life. Civilizations throughout history from the ancient Egyptians to the Roman Empire to most modern countries levy taxes of various kinds on citizens and businesses in an effort to generate revenue for governments as well as structuring prices for goods.
When it comes to the environment, taxes are used to either place a cost on environmentally harmful practices and products or provide a benefit to those practices and products that are environmentally beneficial. For instance, taxes are levied on high emitters of greenhouse gases while consumers who buy electric or hybrid vehicles are given tax breaks.
In this way, taxes help compliment or guide environmental regulatory policies by encouraging companies to engage in more environmentally friendly practices to avoid additional taxation and by incentivizing consumers to be more environmentally conscious in their purchases.

1. I love Crusader Aura! Greatest paladin ability ever! (Heh, I seem to be saying that a lot lately.)
2. I saw a pure white gryphon, and thought it was the epic flying mount. I asked in guild chat, and was informed that the real epic flying mount was brown and had armor. I don't know, seems kind of wasteful. Just putting armor on something does not an epic make. I think that--in general--we associate the starker colors as rarer. A pure white horse is rarer than a piebald. If I recall correctly, Blizzard made the same mistake with night elf cats.
I think it is one of the few mistakes Blizzard makes with art. Almost all the time, they denote power with complexity. Sometimes the opposite is true, and high end armor becomes overly ornate when it should tend to stark and simple.
The other mistake is that high end plate shows far too much skin. Seriously, the sexiest (and all-around best) piece of armour that Blizzard has ever made was Judgement, and it covered everything. Plate is supposed to protect the wearer, and skin-revealing plate armor is just an oxymoron.
Heh, not really sure why it bothers me. It just seems that my character seems less than compentent by choosing armor that doesn't do its basic job, and incompetence is unattractive.

I have the same feeling toward plate - if it's supposed to protect you, why in the world is it shaped like a bikini? Maybe it's because I'm female IRL, but I wish we had the choice to use pants beneath our leggings, the same way we can wear shirts...
PS - On an unrelated side note, I read about your leveling as retribution, and I'd like to say that I've managed to level to 70 pretty fast as a Holy specced pally, just had to get some nice +dmg and healing gear for the leveling. :) Did it in less than three weeks (and I work from Monday to Friday).

Very nice. My problem with levelling speed is not so much spec, but more that my job thinks that I work Monday to Monday. :/

Arlington women bring people together in prayer
Monthly meetings in Arlington focus prayer on problems plaguing the city
Genna Martin / The Herald
Kim Speed (left), 47, and Vicki Adams, 59, coordinate community prayer gatherings held on the last Sunday of every month at the gazebo on N. Olympic Avenue in downtown Arlington. The longtime friends started the gatherings in August to focus discussion and prayer on families, drug abuse and violence in the community.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Kim Speed, 47, (left) and Vicki Adams, 59, talk over coffee at Brooster's Restaurant in Arlington. The long-time friends coordinate a community prayer gathering held on the last Sunday of every month at the gazebo in downtown Arlington on Olympic Avenue. Speed and Adams started the group in August to focus discussion and prayer on families, drug abuse and violence in the community.
Adams and Speed and their husbands coordinate the prayer gathering, which since August has involved about a dozen people meeting together after church on the last Sunday of the month in downtown Arlington.
The 15-minute gathering includes prayer for Arlington's mayor, City Council, police, firefighters and school employees. They pray for kids and young adults, and for those with problems linked to mental health, addiction and violence.
Speed, 47, and Adams, 59, are longtime friends who share their Christian faith, concern for the Arlington community and trials with troubled loved ones.
"I love Arlington, but we have problems here that are rampant and heartbreaking," Adams said.
In July, after a drug deal gone bad and a fatal exchange of gunfire at the Blue Stilly access to the Stillaguamish River, Adams was distraught.
"I asked God what I could do to help these kids," Adams said. "The answer was prayer, which is a tool we don't use as much as we should. I also felt God wanted us to involve the community in this prayer circle."
Speed agreed.
"In many ways, prayer was our only option. Lord knows we were trying everything else and it wasn't working," Speed said. "We know people have to be willing to receive help before you can give it."
So they started the prayer gathering. They contacted friends, churches and business associates to tell them about the monthly meeting.
"It's always short and sweet and seriously directed at people breaking free of drugs, alcohol and violence," Speed said. "People of all beliefs are welcome. We're not here to proselytize, but to lift community problems before the Lord. We have seen answers to prayer. Drug dealers have been arrested; loved ones are moving forward in their lives."
To pray in public is to take a stand against evil, Adams said.
"The more we shine a light and offer hope ..." Adams said.
"... the more the dark will dissipate," said Speed, finishing the sentence.
With the new year at hand, at a time when people are remembering others and taking stock of their own lives, Adams and Speed anticipate that a few more people might join the prayer circle on Sunday.
"It's a time to share joys and sorrows and offer prayers of protection for our community," Adams said. "It gives us hope and shows people we care."
The prayers are for strength, courage, wisdom and safety, she said.
"We're just moms trying to care for our town," Adams said.

Prayer gathering
A non-denominational community prayer gathering is set for 12:45 p.m. Sunday at the Legion Memorial Park gazebo, 114 N. Olympic Ave., in downtown Arlington.

The Tone Scientists of the Kitchen Sink tonight will be giving you a double whammy for hard earned money.
Join us Wednesday night June 30th at 10:00 p.m. as we celebrate the 4th of July early for our annual Ernie and Miss Antoinette K-doe show.
Ben Sandmel will join us as we play a vintage WWOZ Ernie K-doe show originally aired on July 11, 1985.
This World Cup is a wallet-draining commitment that starts with a seventeen-hour flight. WWOZ and JazzFest fans will understand why we do it.
Tune in next Thursday morning, July 1, @ 10:00a.m., when trombone player, Joe Maize & a couple of the fellas from the To Be Continued Brass Band will join me in the studio. We'll be talking about what's going on with the music on the street, & of course, play some music.
As you probably already know, June is National Accordion Awareness Month. So, today's show will focus on the squeezebox, featuring everything from the great Clifton Chenier to some music by the master of Honky Squonk, Schatzy.
This Tuesday June 22, 2010 - 10:30 PM until 3 AM The Kitchen Sink and Overnight will present the music of
4.5 hours of the big bandleader/keyboardist/philospher/space jazz alien Sun Ra and his assorted Omniverse Arkestras to celebrate the solstice.
Tune in at 3 pm to hear Offbeat Magazine's Editor-in-chief Jan Ramsey explain the latest development in the war between the NOPD and New Orleans' street musicians.
Dafnis Prieto's Si o Si Quartet with Peter Apfelbaum were spectacular openers on the last day of the 12th Annual Healdsburg Jazz Festival, Sunday June 13th. Prieto's tremendous change of pace, brilliant rhythms, tonal perfection made you forget at times he is a drummer --- and when he did a racing 'SCAT' that was reminiscent of South Indian vocal ragas, he brought the house down.
The poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca hit home once again after seeing Soledad Barrio and Noche Flamenca at Le Petit Theatre. The guitars, the voices, the poses, the pain, they were all there in front of me, beautifully alive in the performance.

Frans Steyn has sustained a serious shoulder injury and will play no further part in the Springboks' World Cup campaign.
Steyn was clutching at his shoulder towards the end of Friday's physical battle with Samoa. Head coach Peter de Villiers refused to comment on injuries right after the game, but on Saturday morning, he was in a despondent mood,
'Frans is likely to go home,' De Villiers said. 'The doctor will confirm that it's 100% later this morning, but at the moment it's 95% that he's on his way home, and that is a big blow for us.
'I was lying awake [last night thinking about who to call in as a replacement]. We will still have to make a few calls and see.'
The obvious replacement for Steyn at No 12 is Jean de Villiers, and the Boks are further covered in the position considering the prodigiously talented Juan de Jongh is in the squad of 30.
What De Villiers, De Jongh and even a player like Morne Steyn lack is the ability to kick penalties from 65m out. The Boks will also miss Frans Steyn's line kicking game, as well as his ability to slot in at flyhalf, centre, wing or fullback if the situation demands it.
There were bound to be a few injury concerns following such a brutal contest with the Samoans, but Peter de Villiers moved to play down the ailments of Bryan Habana, JP Pietersen and Francois Hougaard.
'All those guys have got battle scars, but we hope that they can recover to take their places this coming week.
'I don't know what's wrong with us. When we get injuries, we get them in one position. We've had problems at lock [during this tournament], and yesterday we lost three wings. So when Lady Luck turns her back on us, she turns it properly.'
De Villiers said that he was happy with the way Danie Rossouw and Victor Matfield performed as a second row combination, and hinted that this pair will front the Aussies in the quarter-final. For the moment, Bakkies Botha won't be risked until he's absolutely ready.
'Do we really need him at 50 %, the way he is, or do we need him at 100%? Rather give him more time.
'Danie is going very well and we've got Johann [Muller] who is properly healed, he will be in the mix this coming weekend. So to have Bakkies back is a soothing thought for me.'
The injury situation aside, the Bok coach said that the team had done everything they had set out to do at the beginning of the tournament.
De Villiers believes that winning ugly is still winning, and doesn't think that the narrow wins against Wales and Samoa have shown the Boks to be off the pace when compared to the Wallabies and All Blacks.
'When we won in Wellington by one point, we achieved what we came here to do, which is win games. A lot of people call it winning ugly, but it's uglier if you don't win. We scored 160 points for and 22 against [in four pool games]. That's a difference of [about] 140 points so we came through quite well.
'Our first goal is now achieved, we're through the pool stage. We could have lost yesterday and could have been sent home, so to come through against Samoa is an achievement.'
By Jon Cardinelli, in Auckland

ORGANISERS of the Lake District's 11th annual air extravaganza, taking place on July 23 and 24, have revealed their display line-up.
The Windermere Air Festival kicks off on the Saturday with the breathtaking acrobatics of the Breitling Wing Walkers, performing a sequence of manoeuvres and handstands whilst strapped to the top wings of the team's Boeing Stearman biplanes.
First day visitors will also be treated to the RedHawks' air show act with a slow, gentle and graceful four-minute, three-dimensional aerial ballet performed to soothing music by a pair of 42 year-old, wooden, high-efficiency aeroplanes, designed by French musician, artist, ceramicist and sculptor Réné Fournier.
Another Saturday highlight will be the RAF Falcons parachute display team, now in their 50th year.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will grace the skies above Windermere on both days with special flights from the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster Bomber.
The RV8tors will be flying their remarkably fast Vans RV-8's with powerful smoke systems, performing an exciting and memorable display.
Combining close formation aerobatics with speeds up to 230 mph, the display makes large manoeuvres that fill the sky and leave big smoke trails.
Also appearing at the festival will be the RAF Tucano and the RAF Hawk.
Both spectacular in their own right the Hawk display team will demonstrate the professional excellence of the RAF while the Tucano display consists of 21 manoeuvres including an offset barrel roll, stall turn, oblique loop and reverse wingover.
On Sunday, the Twister Duo will create a display of formation barrel loops, rolls and gravity defying zoom climbs.
The highlight of the weekend is set to be the renowned ambassadors of the RAF and everyone's favourite – The Red Arrows.
Having missed last year's Lakeland air show, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, have been confirmed to headline 2011's festival.
Appearing at the air festival is a welcome return for Squadron Leader Graeme Bagnall.
Graeme, who is Red 10, is the team's commentator and on the ground safety supervisor.
He was educated at nearby St Bee's School, in Cumbria.
Mr Bagnall said: "We are really looking forward to displaying at Windermere.
"It's a stunning location and will definitely be a highlight of the display season for me.
"I can't wait to meet the crowd when I'm on the ground at the show doing the commentary for the Team.
"You get a real buzz from seeing how the audience reacts to the displays."
The RAF Red Arrows have been wowing audiences since their first season in 1965, they have flown over 4,000 displays in 52 countries.
Today the Red Arrows are renowned throughout the world,acting as ambassadors for Great Britain when displaying overseas.
They also support UK industry by demonstrating the capabilities of British equipment and expertise.
Lucy Bennett, a director of the air festival, said: "It's such a coup for us to host the Red Arrows this year.
"They put on such a fantastic display and really add some excitement to the programme.
"The highly acclaimed displays are filled full of twists, turns, drama and excitement - they are definitely not one to be missed."
Attractions on the ground at the Air Base include the military village, battle re-enactments and flying simulator, new kids have-a-go activities plus face painting, circus skills, music and great local food stalls.
The Windermere Air Festival 2011 takes place on Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24. The Air Base is located on the Glebe in Bowness-on-Windermere. For further information, click on the website below.
ZANY Steven Hall is urging people to vote for him after he performs in front of millions of TV viewers on Britain's Got Talent tonight.
The 53-year-old telecommunications engineer will represent Cumbria when he takes to the stage for the live semi-final with a new dance routine.
Having taken the nation by storm with his eclectic two-minute act, which saw him perform a dance to The Birdy Song, The Macarena and The Twist, he has become an overnight success.
He has gained more than 1.5 million views on YouTube and more than a thousand fans on his official Facebook site.
So, what has he got lined up for the biggest performances of his life tonight?
"It was said: 'How am I going to follow that?' Because the element of surprise has gone," he said.
"So I have taken what everybody said they would expect me to do next and not done it."
Life has changed for the Burneside Amateur Theatrical Society member since he gained three 'yes' votes from Amanda Holden, Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff, and a standing ovation from the Liverpool crowd.
"It was the second best experience of my life, but I can't tell you the first one," he jokes.
"Since then, it has been so busy I haven't had time to think about it.
"I have been to London several times for interviews and rehearsals."
Having performed in theatres across the Lake District, Steven set up Comedy Showtime two years ago, a five-person act that puts on performances across the region.
From this, a 10-minute dance evolved which came to form the basis of his BGT audition.
If Steven is successful tonight, he will make it through to Saturday's live final.
If victorious in the final, he will perform in front of The Queen at The Royal Variety Performance and win £100,000.
"I am nervous and confident about tonight," he said.
"Nervous because Simon Cowell is back on the show and he is held in such anticipation about what he has thought of the acts that have gone through while he's been away.
"But I am confident of my routine. I'm looking forward to it."

Bortner's Match-High 21 Kills Not Enough as Men's Volleyball Falls to EMU 3-1
March 5, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University dropped a 3-1 (24-30, 30-27, 17-30, 27-30) decision to Eastern Mennonite University in non-conference mens volleyball on Friday night inside the Merner Gym. The victory sends the Royals to 5-8 on the year while the Falcons dip to 4-6.
Trailing early 4-1 on an Alex Rivero (Miami, FL) ace, Pfeiffer battled back to a 10-9 deficit after an Evan Fullerton (Ambridge, PA) kill. Micah Borthner (Dallastown, PA) had one of his match-high 21 kills on the night to again bring the Falcons to within one at 15-14 halfway through the first set. Eastern Mennonite closed out the opener on five kills by Rivero and two, including the clincher, by Cody Kennedy (Newport News, VA).
Pfeiffer bounced back for a 30-27 win in set two after trailing late 20-16. Bortner pushed the Falcons to a 21-all tie with Eric Edelman (Henrietta, NY) before a Blake Dowdle (Farmington, NY) ace gave Pfeiffer the lead for good on the very next point. A Royals timeout couldnt stop the Falcons as Bortner picked up four kills in the final few plays, including the last two, squaring the match 1-1.
Rivero helped the Royals jumped out to a furious 9-2 lead in set three serving during a seven point EMU stretch. Kennedy and Rivero led the way through the middle portion of the stanza with another ace and kill before Justin Reesor (Stouffville, ONTARIO) picked up the sets final kill.
The fourth set started off 9-7 in favor of the Falcons on a throw down by Kyle Mariano (Kendall Park, NJ) and service ace by Dowdle. Pfeiffer held that advantage to 20-17 until the Royals made their final comeback. A kill by John Barry (Worthington, OH), Falcon timeout and kill by Colten New (Richmond, VA) tied the contest up 22-22. After New and Reesor scored before and after the second Falcon timeout, Frankie Coto (Miami, FL) and Reesor finished off the comeback with a pair of kills for a 30-27 victory and 3-1 match win.
Pfeiffer hits the road now for several contests not playing their next home match until April 1st. The Falcons start the road trip off tomorrow in a Conference Carolinas matchup at Lees-McRae beginning at 1:00 p.m.

ThereŌĆÖs no doubt that the Manchester Academy Mavericks (1-6; 1-1) were overdue for a win this season. TheyŌĆÖd run into some tough love in the first half of the year, and while possession one of the top players in Academy football (Matt Peaster), it was only a matter of time before they exploded for a win.
The Oak Hill Academy Raiders (2-6; 1-1) were just hoping that explosion would hold off at least one more week, as they traveled to Yazoo City to take on the Mavs on Friday night. They were defeated 32-20.
ŌĆ£Our kids werenŌĆÖt ready to play, and that ultimately falls on me,ŌĆØ said Oak Hill head coach Leroy Gregg.
This game was a tale of early-season misfortune turned into hope for the Mavericks and the Raiders. Oak Hill got off to an 0-4 start in the first month of the season, but a conference win against Carroll, two weeks ago, had ignited a justified hope that the Raiders would enter the playoffs. They needed just one more league win to get there, and that win was supposed to come against Manchester, who started the season 0-6.
The MavericksŌĆÖ playoff hopes rested on this game, and this game only, while the Raiders could lose and still have a shot to get in.
Both teams came out in the first half, rusty and unable to hold on to the football very well. Early mistakes cost both teams. On ManchesterŌĆÖ s opening drive, they had four first downs, but it only resulted in a fourth down punt to the Raiders.
The Raiders followed with a three-and-out series.
On ManchesterŌĆÖs next possession, the quarterback Peaster broke out in the way did so many times in 2009. He connected with John Bryant, from the 15 yard line, for an 85 yard touchdown pass to put his team up 7-0, after Bryant tacked on the extra point, with 4:50 to play in the frame.
When the Raiders got the ball back, they knew they had to answer. Phillip Liu started the drive with a 10 yard run, followed by a 15 yard rush by Bo Sanford.
Doss Miller got into the mix for three yards, followed by a first-down, nine yard rush by Liu again. Eventually, the Raiders would be in a first and goal, at the two. Miller, who left last weekŌĆÖs game with a foot injury, was back in action, and he leaped into the end zone for the two-yard score to tie the game 7-7, with 2:46 to play in the first.
On ManchesterŌĆÖs next drive, Peaster and his offense were driving fast two the end zone. They were stationed at the one-yard line, when a fumbled snap led to an Oak Hill recovery.
The drive would come to nothing, but they managed to stop Manchester from taking the lead. After Reid PoseyŌĆÖs 45 yard punt, Manchester began driving again. Sloppy play, however, led to another fumble by Manchester, who coughed up the ball to Chad Moore, inside the Oak Hill 10 yard line.
Unfortunately for the Raiders, Manchester only allowed them to go backwards, eventually capitalizing on a fumbled snap that landed in the end zone for a safety and a 9-7 Manchester lead.
Manchester would get the ball on the kickoff, but for the third straight possession, they would fumble, as Perry Whitworth gave it up to Jeb Stevens.
Oak Hill had a golden opportunity, and they drove all the way inside the Manchester 10-yard line, but another fumbled snap was picked up on a bounce by Peaster, who took it 92 yards to the Oak Hill end zone for a touchdown and a 17-7 score, with 4:30 remaining in the half.
ŌĆ£That was a big play in the game,ŌĆØ Gregg said. ŌĆ£That took a lot of starch out of us.ŌĆØ
That was a big blow, but Oak Hill did not let that get them down. After the kickoff and a 10 yard run by Miller, Liu broke a tackle and got loose for a 65-yard touchdown run to make it 17-14, with 4:07 to play in the second.
They would take that score into the second half, where Oak Hill would get the ball, but they would not go anywhere with it.
On Manchester first drive of the third, the Mavericks would drive to the edge of the red zone. The quarterback Peaster would then connect for what looked like a 20-yard touchdown pass to his brother, Josh Peaster, in the end zone. However, an illegal participation penalty backed them up five yards.
The PeasterŌĆÖs must practice this at home, because on the very next play, they connected again for the official 25-yarder that put the Mavs up 24-14, with 4:49 to go in the third.
The Raiders would put together a promising looking drive, but they would eventually turn the ball over on downs, giving Peaster one more chance to score, as the clock dipped under a minute in the third.
He and the Mavericks did so, taking the ball in from the 10-yard line, following a Whitworth 44-yard rush. This made it 30-14, with 54 seconds to play in the third.
When the fourth started, time was flying by against the Raiders. They needed quick points, so they went to the hero of the last three weeks, Sanford. From five yards out, Sanford took the ball in to make it 30-20, after a failed two-point try.
With less than 12 minutes to play, Manchester began driving toward the death knell. On a third and 10, deep in Oak Hill territory, Peaster got greedy and went to the air one too many times. Stevens reached up and intercepted the football on the one-yard line in the corner of the end zone.
Oak Hill was looking at 99 yards to the other end zone, but they wouldnŌĆÖt even get one, as the ball rusher was taken down in the end zone for the RaidersŌĆÖ second safety of the night, making it 32-20.
After that, Manchester used their possessions to wind down the clock on Oak HillŌĆÖs second district loss.
Manchester finished the game with 508 yards of total offense. Oak Hill finished with 248 yards of total offense.
Both teams will follow up next Friday night with non-league matches. Manchester will host Hillcrest Christian, and Oak Hill will be back at home to face Kirk Academy.

Trial related matters are often confidential because of issues of privacy of victims and witnesses and because it is important that nothing occurs to damage the trial process.

Recycled and Renewable Content
It can be hard to find underlay with large amounts of recycled content, but CoraZorb Green is a widely applicable option. The material is 92 percent recycled rubber. It is designed for use with a thin-set mortar under tile, but can also be used under hardwood and floating wood floors. It is moisture resistant and designed for easy installation. The next best thing is a renewable virgin material, and a few options are available.
- Cork underlay certainly fits the bill. Cork is a rapidly renewable bark, and stripping the bark is considered beneficial for the tree, extending its lifespan. Consider putting a soft cork underlay under a solid cork floor.
- Likewise, try wood under wood. Redupax is designed for use under floating laminate and engineered wood floors. It is primarily compressed wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. Note that the manufacturer does not promote Redupax as VOC- or formaldehyde-free.
- Another option for floating-floor underlay is a 100-percent sheep wool covering. Remember, though, that wool is a common allergen.
- SoundStop Underlayment is mostly made from wood and sugarcane fibers sustainable sourced close to the manufacturing facility, and glued together with a formaldehyde-free vegetable starch binder.

Only a sophomore, Brandon Ingram isn't sure where he wants to play basketball in college. But there's one school that sure does want him.
Ingram, a 6-foot-7 wing for the Kinston Vikings, was formally offered an athletic scholarship to play for N.C. State on Tuesday evening.
The offer from Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried is the first such offer the highly-touted sophomore has received.
"I could tell they were really interested, with them coming to check out my games and stuff this year," Ingram said.
"I surely didn't expect to come this year. I thought maybe next year, going into my junior year."
Gottfried was the first high-profile coach to attend one of Ingram's games when he showed up to see him play against South Lenoir on Nov. 27, and Wolfpack assistants and scouts have attended several more of Ingram's games this season.
While Ingram has no plans of making any sort of decision regarding his future any time soon, the fact N.C. State was the first with an offer on the table impressed the sophomore, who also has interest from UNC and Wake Forest.
Ultimately, Ingram wants to play for a program steeped in tradition.
"They were the first," Ingram said. "I'm just going to wait on it and see what other teams (offer) and see how their pasts have been and how their schools have been and what roles I can fit into there."
Kinston head coach Perry Tyndall is happy for his standout sophomore, and figures the offer from N.C. State is the first of more to come.
"Brandon's recruitment is just heating up," Tyndall said. "I'm happy for him and that first offer, but I don't think it will be his last."
Even with a scholarship on the table and a future playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference coming about on Tuesday, Ingram's mind is solely on the present.
His top-ranked Vikings team hosts Pittsboro Northwood for a NCHSAA state 2A second round playoff game at 7:30 tonight.
"It's all great and I like it, but it's still — I have to put it away because we've got to take care of business tomorrow on the court," Ingram said, "and I've just got to keep my mind on that game and worry about (the offer) later."

Balsamic Pickled Cherries, Prosciutto, Goat Cheese & Watercress Salad
Fresh cherries are one of my favorite fruits, and I always seem to get carried away and bring home way too many for us to possibly eat. A great way to preserve these little beauties are to pickle them. They are unbelievable in this salad and will also go great on a cheese platter or… in a grilled cheese sandwich!
I'd like to take a moment to thank Jo Packman and the wonderful team at Where Women Cook Magazine for the generous 12 page feature this month. It's out on the stands now, and features many more amazing women, make sure to grab a copy!
I'm a huge fan of What Katie Ate blog, and was thrilled and quite flattered (to say the least) that she featured one of my photos from this post, in her "All American Post 2012" (below) Thanks Katie!

There's a certain joy in a neat, clean character sheet, with everything in its place and no erase marks marring your beautiful stats. Sadly, this is a joy that many people are not given the privilege of knowing, since many people have messy, illegible handwriting, and a tendency to make mistakes when making changes to their sheets (this very much includes myself). So I went ahead and created an alternate Deathwatch character sheet that doubles as a fill-able PDF form.
This character sheet makes use of many of the elements of the original Deathwatch character sheets and in fact I only made a few changes, detailed below:
- Removed the Characteristic Bar from the second page. In my experience, I would always make a change to one page, then forget to change the other page similarly, and come back later to find out I don't remember which number is correct.
- Compressed the size of the Skills table to leave a little breathing room on the sides. Added a category for "Miscellaneous Modifiers" to all Skills and Skill Groups. Added several new lines for additional Forbidden Lores, Scholastic Lores, and Tactics.
- Moved Wounds, Movement, and Fate Points to the second page. Renown and Experience were moved to the first page. I did everything I could to keep all the combat stuff on one page, with the exception of Characteristics.
- Combined the text for the Multi-Lung, Mucranoid, Oolotic Kidney, and Preomnor to cluster all Toughness-related skill modifiers in one place. Reworded several Space Marine abilities for clarity.
- Rearranged several of the items on page two to create more space for additional Talents and Gear. Replaced the Psychic Powers list with Deeds & Distinctions. Psychic Powers are now their own separate page. Added a "Notes" category at the bottom of the
- Added a block for Force Fields with the Armour stats.
- The character sheets now incorporate various Warhammer 40k artwork found around the web. I do not take credit for any of these background images, nor the border around the sheets (taken from FFG's own sheets). If you are the original owner of this artwork and wish it removed, please get in touch with me
Please let me know what you think!

The Cabinet Building was designed in 1837 by an officer of the Royal Engineers then serving in Bermuda.
When it was first opened in 1884, it was known as "The Public Building" and housed the Customs and Treasury Departments and the Bermuda Library on the ground floor with the Council Room and the Secretariat on the upper.
It has remained the home of the Council and the Secretariat ever since, with the exception of a period of nine years (1969 1977) when the Executive Council was based in offices on the second floor of the General Post Office at Church and Parliament Streets.
Entering the Entrance Hall, the doors are of Bermuda cedar. Some of the cedar was given to the Cabinet Building by the Consul General of the United States and some of the cedar was from the O1d Bus Garage on East Broadway. These doors were installed in 1989, completing the renovations to the ground floor of the Cabinet Building.
There is a large portrait above the stairs, facing down into the Entrance Hall, which is that of Queen Victoria. This is a copy an original portrait which hangs in St James' Palace, London and is on loan from the St. George's Foundation of New York. It shows the young Queen at the beginning of her reign, shortly after her marriage to Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg-Gotha.
In the Upper Hall, over the stairs, note should be taken of the portrait of Sir Thomas Gates who was with Admiral Sir George Somers in the Sea Venture in 1609.
In the Upper-Hall, facing the stairs is a portrait of William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke; the original, painted in 1627 for King Charles I, hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London.
To the right is a portrait of Sir Edwin Sandys, a member of the Bermuda Company during the early years of colonization.
Lord Sandys, a descendant of Sir Edwin, had two copies made of the original portrait and in 1959 kindly presented one to Bermuda and the other to the House of Burgesses in Richmond, Virginia, to mark the 350th anniversary of the settling of both Bermuda and the Virginia Colony.
From the large casement window in the Upper Hall a pleasant view of Hamilton Harbour can be seen which, from April to November each year, includes cruise ships alongside Front Street.
Either side of the casement window are portraits of King George III (1760 1820) and Queen Charlotte these are believed to be the works of Allan Ramsay, Court Painter (1713 1784). It was the taxation policy of George III and his Minister, Lord North that so exasperated the North American colonists that on 4th July, 1776, they proclaimed their independence from Great Britain.
To the left of the door leading into the Senate Chamber is a portrait of Sir Francis Forbes who enjoyed a successful career in the legal profession and, moving to the Southern Hemisphere, served as a Chief Justice in New South Wales.
When Parliament is in session, the Senate meets at 10.00 a.m. each Wednesday to discuss matters sent forward by the House of Assembly. The gallery to the left of the main entrance is for the use of the public. To the right, there is a small glass topped table. The book inside bears the signature of Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, who was present for the convening of Parliament on November 2, 1990.
Beyond, on top of the bookshelves, is a long glass case, which contains The Black Rod. This is the emblem of office carried by a senior Police Officer who, when the Governor is about to open Parliament following a General Election or a seasonal Recess, summons the elected representatives from the House of Assembly and leads them in procession to the Senate Chamber.
The Black Rod in the case was fashioned by the Crown Jewellers and is topped with a silver Coat of Arms and tipped with an inset Bermuda crown piece. It was presented to the Government in 1964 by Mr. B.C.C. Outerbridge who gave many years of service to Bermuda, in the House of Assembly both as a member and as Deputy Speaker, and subsequently in the Senate then known as the Legislative Council.
The portraits above the Black Rod are of former Senate Presidents: Senator the Hon. Albert Jackson, CBE, JP 1987 1998 The Hon. Sir George Ratteray, Kt., CBE 1969 1980 Senator the Hon. H.E. Richardson, CBE, JP 1980 1987
The portraits on the northern wall of the Chamber are of King George V and Queen Mary, the grandparents of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and are from originals at Windsor Castle. The two velvet covered beneath the portraits were used by Sir J. Tronnsell Gilbert, President of the Legislative Council, and Lady Gilbert when they attended the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey in 1953.
Between the two portraits is the Royal Coat of Arms and beneath this is the dais from which the Governor, when opening Parliament, delivers the Throne Speech setting out the Government's programme for the next Session of the Legislature.
The chair on the dais, now used as the Throne, has an interesting history: it was made of Bermuda cedar for one of Bermuda's early Governors and bears on its back a carved inscription which reads – "Cap. Iosias Forstor Esv. Governor of the Sumer Islands Ano do 1642".
In 1897, Josias Foster's chair was discovered in the Island of St Croix in the West Indies, having been taken there by his descendants in 1800. The chair was duly purchased from the family and on return to Bermuda was installed in its current place of distinction.
The original circular table around which Bermuda's Senators deliberate, has also served many and varied international gatherings. The "Three Power Conference" took place in Bermuda in December 1953, when President Eisenhower of the United States met with Sir Winston Churchill of Great Britain and Monsieur Joseph Laniel of France.
Again in 1957, President Eisenhower was in Bermuda, this time to meet Primer Minister Harold Macmillan of Great Britain; and in 1961 Mr. Macmillan met with President Kennedy of the United States. On each of these occasions the table has been dismantled and removed to another, larger location.
The twelve armchairs in use with the table were obtained by the Hon. Robert Kennedy, the Colonial Secretary of the day who, in 1841, wrote from abroad to his deputy Charles Fozard: "I have selected and ordered a dozen very handsome chairs for the Council Room. They are elbow chairs of a very suitable pattern .... I will pay the cost out of the balance of the Powder Fund money in my hands, which is, I believe, about one hundred pounds".
The chair at the northern side of the table with the slightly higher back, was bought in 1982 for the use of the President of the Senate.
Two signed lithographs on the southern wall 0f the Chamber show Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and were presented by their son Prince Alfred, when he visited Bermuda in 1861. The lithographs were restored at the British Museum, through the interest of Mrs. Joyce Hall MBE in 1982.
Immediately beyond the flagpole located at the front of the Cabinet Building is the Cenotaph -Bermuda's memorial to those who died in the world wars of 1914 1918 and 1939 1945. Remembrance Day is observed each November 11th, with a simple and moving ceremony, in which wreaths are laid by the Governor, the Premier, the Opposition Leader, the Commander of The Bermuda Regiment and Resident Services and Service Associations.
The monument is a replica of the Cenotaph, which stands in Whitehall, London and except for the engraved slabs, which came from England is built entirely of Bermuda Limestone.
On the Cabinet Grounds just east of the Cenotaph sits the War Memorial which was completed in November 2010 by the Ministry of Public Works and contains the names of almost 3,000 Bermudian men and women who served in the two World Wars. Names are inscribed on seven highly polished black granite slabs and a diamond emblem in gold leaf beside a name indicates that the serviceman or servicewoman is on the roll of honour and lost their lives in wartime service.
A fountain in front of the memorial is made of a granite base and a highly-polished pink granite ball which is the same stone used in the Anglican Cathedral in Hamilton. Seating is provided at the memorial and it is a serene place where surviving War Veterans, their children or grandchildren, other relatives, members of an appreciative public and visitors may gather to reflect upon and pay respect to those who served our Island so heroically during the Great Wars.
To the east of the Cabinet Building is a granite obelisk which was erected by the people of Bermuda to the memory of Major General Sir William Reid, KCB, Governor of Bermuda from 1838 to 1846.
To the west of the Cabinet Building is a sculpture of Sally Bassett. In 2009, in commemoration of Bermuda's four hundred year anniversary, the sculpture of Bassett was erected to memorialize the struggle of blacks against slavery. Created by Bermudian Sculptor, Carlos W. Dowling, this work depicts a pregnant Bassett being burned at the stake for allegedly poisoning the masters of her enslaved granddaughter."

6th Annual Thanks Troops Golf Classic 2014
Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the troops at the 6th Annual Thanks Troops Golf Classic held at the majestic Crescent Oaks Golf Club!
For six years running, Thompson has had the pleasure and the honor to sponsor this event. Everyone had a great time (if not a great game!) and also contributed to a noble cause – supporting our veterans. The proceeds from the tournament go to the "Tee It Up for the Troops" foundation which provides support for disabled U.S. Military Veterans.
Different cigar manufacturers like Hammer and Sickle, Victor Sinclair, Rocky Patel, Altadis USA, and many others, each sponsored a hole on the course. Various donors also generously donated rare sports memorabilia, including autographed plaques from legendary figures like Bubba Watson, Ted Williams, and Joe DiMaggio, to be auctioned off for the cause.
I should also mention that this was not your average day on the course… We had skydivers from Skydive City drop in with a 1,500 square-foot American flag, the popular Golf Today Long-range Launcher that shot golf balls over 400 yards with the squeeze of the trigger, and also a couple of alligators and turkeys by Hole 4 that came to join the party! If you're interested in joining us for some fine smokes, good golfing, and great patriots, visit http://www.teeitupforthetroops.org for info on next year's event.

Great Cigar Samplers for Great Low Prices
Cigar samplers are always fun to buy. Even though you know which sticks are going to arrive in the sampler, there's always a few that you have never tried. It's fun to compare those with our favorite everyday sticks and well known, premium cigars. It's also a good feeling to know that the humidor is going to receive a nice variety of sticks. Some are different sizes, come from different cigar makers, and showcase different types of wrappers. However, another nice thing about samplers is related to their price. Buy a sampler and you typically end up spending a lot less on premium smokes. It gives you a chance to try some top shelf sticks without breaking the cigar budget while other samplers are just fine cigar deals in every sense.
To find the best deals on samplers, visit the Value Cigar Samplers page. This is where you will find several excellent assortments of cigars for very good prices. For example, recently, the World Class 20 Sampler has been on sale for less than $30. That's four brands of 20 fine cigars for less than half of the regular price. The same can be said of the Victor Sinclair Super Selection 15 Cigar Sampler. Buy that assortment and pay less than a third of the regular price for premium Victor Sinclair smokes.
Yes, Backwoods Cigars Were Made for the Great Outdoors
Many an aficionado loves to spend time in the great outdoors. We take fishing trips out on the open sea, wade remote streams in search of trophy trout, and even go ice fishing in the dead of winter. We also walk the woods and fields in search of quail, rabbits, and other small game, spend hours in a tree stand to wait for that big buck to show itself, and go on big game hunts in Alaska. We also enjoy the great outdoors by camping and visiting national parks with the family but no matter how we enjoy the outdoors, we like to highlight the experience with some great cigars.
A smoke that is tailor made for the outdoors is the good old Backwoods cigar. Those sweet little smokes do indeed seem to taste better when you can enjoy them at a cabin in the woods, when enjoying the view of a quiet lake in the middle of the woods, while bass fishing on your favorite pond, bayou, or reservoir, or after chopping firewood in the backyard. The Backwoods Maduro Sweet Cigarillo is one of those classic little sticks that makes every trip to the great outdoors that much better. Aficionados who enjoy the great taste of fermented tobacco with a hint of honey and berry flavors will like the Backwoods Maduro Honey Berry Cigarillo.

The Importance of Enjoying Cigars the Right Way
Those of us who enjoy smoking cigars don't just partake in the experience because we enjoy fine, fermented tobacco. We also smoke cigars because we relish the experience of testing and tasting the subtle difference in flavors that come from different types of tobacco and wrappers. We enjoy inspecting cigars and noting the quality of their construction, and focusing on the difference between the start, sweet spot, and end of the cigar. These are a few of the reasons why it's important to enjoy cigars the right way and that procedure includes:
- Choosing the best cigar for the moment: Pick a mild stick for the morning, medium-bodied smoke for the afternoon, and full-bodied cigar for the evening. It might be an everyday smoke or premium cigars for special situations.
- Inspecting and cutting the cigar: After checking and appreciating the construction of the stick in question, carefully snip off the tip with a quality cigar cutter. It's important to use cigar cutters and not a knife or scissors because the cutter results in the type of good, even cut necessary for properly enjoying the cigar.
- Lighting and smoking it: Use proper cigar lighters to evenly light the end of the stick and then casually smoke it with enough time to savor the fine flavors.
Enjoy Fantastic Medium to Full Bodied Toro Cigars with the Montecristo Connoisseur Edition Sampler
It's always a good day when you can relax with quality cigars after a delicious lunch or excellent dinner. On such occasions, you don't want to smoke the same mild mannered Connecticut as you did during a morning of golf or after going for a morning walk. The afternoons and evenings call for fuller-bodied cigars that match the palette and one of the best smokes for the latter half of the day is a fine, robust Toro. Those fat sticks seem to be especially satisfying after a long day of work or travel and when they incorporate high quality tobacco, they are absolute, end of the day treasures.
One of the finest samplers of Toro treasures is the Montecristo Connoisseur Edition. This very fine assortment of cigars includes 8 big gauge, fantastic Toros made from limited small batch tobaccos. Each one has a medium to full body and is a beautiful, carefully crafted stick that could easily be reserved for special events. Buy this premium sampler and you get 2 each of four different boutique sticks that are crafted from choice Dominican tobaccos. Each is also named after different American cities or states to reflect their character. Sample the Texas Toro, light up a Las Vegas Toro during an evening at the casino, and compare the fine flavors of the New York and Chicago Montecristo Toro Cigars.
Give a High Quality Cigar Gift with the Perdomo 20th Anniversary Sun Grown Sampler
Would you like to put a smile on the face of a fellow aficionado? If so, then give that special person a fine sampler that showcases some of the best in Nicaraguan cigars. That exquisite selection of smokes is the Perdomo 20th Anniversary Sun Grown Sampler and once you get a look at the fine cigars inside, you will probably also want to buy one of these quality cigar gifts for yourself. The five cigars in this sampler were made to mark 20 years of creating quality smokes and you will realize that Perdomo is serious about celebrating the occasion as soon as you take a draw on any of the five sticks inside.
The premium cigars in this sampler are only crafted with very select tobacco grown in the rich volcanic soils of Nicaragua. The combination of excellent growing conditions and expertise of the Perdomo family results in cigars that showcase a wonderful array of flavors and a present truly fine cigar smoking experience. Each of the fine sticks in this gift sampler are Nicaraguan puros that come wrapped in tantalizing sun grown leaf for an extra bit of flavor. However, they don't use just any old sun grown wrapper but leaf that has been carefully aged for more than a year in bourbon barrels. That aging process puts the final crowning touch on these high quality cigars and helps turn them into a fantastic gift for friends and yourself.
What Are the Best Cigars?
Every aficionado is always on the lookout for the very best in cigars. Those of us who have been searching for premium cigars for many a year have realized that cigars of the highest quality tend to show certain characteristics lacking in other smokes. A few of the things to look for in high quality sticks include such factors as:
- Rating: Although we can all give our personal ratings to every cigar we sample, it's worth it to pay attention to the opinions of the best cigar experts in the country. If someone who has tried and tested literally thousands of cigar brands says that a particular cigar merits a rating of 96, then that smoke is going to be one of the best you have ever had. At least that's what many aficionados have said about the 96 rated Flor de Antillas Toro Sun Grown.
- Smoking experience: The very best in cigars are going to exhibit an excellent experience from start to finish. There isn't any waiting for the stick to show flavors with the best smokes because they taste wonderful with every draw. The 91 rated Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story is a good example of one such cigar.
- Presentation: Although it's a combination of what's inside and outside that counts, the best in quality cigars are also going to look like works of art. They only use beautiful, flawless wrappers and are rolled by expert hands.

Two of the Quickest Ways to Get Started with Cigars
Once you start smoking cigars, you quickly realize that there aren't just a dozen or so brands to choose from. While there might have been a few cheap cigars available at a local service station, those were just the tiniest tip of the iceberg. There are of course, hundreds of brands of cigars, some of them made by machine, many made by hand, and others that have been infused with the fine flavors of vanilla, rum, and cherries. With so many smokes to try, it can be tough to find a good everyday smoke, premium cigars for the best prices, and cigars to stay away from. Try the following duo of ideas and you will be on the fast track to enjoying cigars as every aficionado should:
- Join the Thompson cigar of the month club: Sign up for the Cigar Tour Sampler and you will get several premium cigars each month. We pick out the cigars to sample and savor and provide information about each stick in a monthly newsletter. You also enjoy free shipping and a free cigar cutter with the first month's sampler.
- Buy cigar samplers: Samplers are perfect for the new aficionado because they make it possible to try several brands and types of cigars for a great price. Buy a different sampler each month to quicken your enjoyable cigar education. The All Star VI Sampler is a good choice for your first sampler.

Remember how Dr. McCoy used a tricorder on "Star Trek" to diagnose medical problems? It was a cool piece of fiction that might evolve into reality — possibly in San Diego.
The X Prize Foundation last year created a long-term, worldwide contest in which $7 million will be awarded to the team that produces the best device for detecting and monitoring a variety of diseases and conditions. The so-called Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize has drawn hundreds of competitors, including at least 10 teams from San Diego County. The latest competitor is one of the region's academic powerhouses: San Diego State University.
The school said it has quickly pulled together 60 people from across campus and elsewhere to work on an entry that is among the most ambitious science and engineering collaborations in SDSU history. Participants include bioengineers, software specialists and business experts.
They are led by Lambert Ninteman, 37, a graduate student who is such a hard-core "Star Trek" fan that he approached Nichelle Nichols, the actress who played Lt. Uhura, when he was only 4 years old.
"I asked her if she knew R2-D2," Ninteman remembered. "She said, 'Oh honey, that's the wrong movie!' I'd like to apologize and let her know that I definitely know what the tricorder is about."
San Diego State's X Prize team is developing a prototype tricorder that will basically be a greatly modified Android phone with attachments that can spot and track medical problems.
Work is in the early stages. The SDSU team has turned to the Salk Institute for advice, and it plans to look at technology from Space and Naval Warfare Systems Pacific in San Diego to see whether it can gain an edge over other competitors.
San Diego State might need every advantage it can get. The X Prize Foundation hasn't released the full list of contestants, which numbers more than 200. But the foundation did say the competitors include Albert Yu-Min Lin, the academic superstar who co-leads the Distributed Health Lab at the University of California San Diego. Lin is a technologist who uses non-invasive technologies to explore hard-to-reach places without damaging the environment. He's made major archaeological finds, and he's pushing hard to improve global health care through emerging technologies.
"This (competition) merges with our interests," Lin said. "We believe in it. We're in."
So is Matt Banet, the founder of Sotera Wireless in Sorrento Valley. He's on a team fielded by Perminova, a life-sciences company in La Jolla.
"I like the idea of a simple device that is wireless and which is minimally invasive to the patient," Banet said. "And San Diego is the hub in this country for wireless health care."
The Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize said the top three finishers in the contest will be teams whose tricorders "assess a set of 16 distinct conditions and five vital signs in a pool of people within three days, while providing a strong consumer experience in the areas of usability, understandability, engaging and desirable presentation of information, and ability of the solution to willingly invoke action on the part of the user."
