Remembering Japanese attack 71 years ago
U-T San Diego reporters Peter Rowe and John Wilkens explore how WWII shaped the "Greatest Generation" and our home. These stories will focus on local men and women who helped preserve our nation and re-create our city. The series is supported by U-T's video partner, the Media Arts Center San Diego.
Monumental salutes to 'Greatest Generation'
Preserving the memories of World War II
Legacy of WWII: It was a 'Woman's War Too'
Japanese-Americans in San Diego; A couple's bond, both were sent to internment camps in their youth
The Battle of Midway's unsinkable San Diegan
Friday is the day set aside to remember Pearl Harbor, the surprise Japanese attack 71 years ago that ushered the United States into World War II.
It was as horrific and monumental a day as any in U.S. history: 2,400 dead, 1,200 wounded, 20 Navy ships sunk or damaged, 340 airplanes shot up, America's sense of itself and its place in the world forever altered.
People who were alive then — fewer and fewer with each passing year — can tell you where they were when they heard the news about the Pacific Fleet in Hawaii. And how whatever they were doing at that moment suddenly seemed unimportant.
They'll tell you how frightened everybody was that more attacks were coming. In San Diego, an anti-aircraft battery and searchlights were put on top of the El Cortez Hotel.
But there was no invasion of the U.S. mainland after Pearl Harbor. The Japanese never came.
On Guam, they came.
"Goodbye, life"
Harris Chuck had been a Marine for less than a year when they sent him to Guam, a tropical island in the North Pacific that had been in U.S. hands since it was captured during the Spanish-American War in 1898.
"I had no choice," Chuck said. He was almost 24 when he joined 150 other Marines and 270 sailors stationed on the island.
It wasn't a bad assignment. Chuck wound up working traffic enforcement, catching speeders. He got to drive a hot Ford, a red two-door coupe, the fastest thing on the island. He once gave his colonel a ticket for going 45 mph in a 15 mph zone.
The tensions that had been building for months between the U.S. and Japan were felt on Guam. In October 1941, the families of the servicemen were sent home. The island's limited defenses — a few machine guns and the USS Penguin, a minesweeper — were readied. Plans were made to destroy sensitive documents and equipment.
When Pearl Harbor was attacked, Guam learned about it from a radio message at about 6 a.m. local time. "We didn't know what the hell was going on with the world," Chuck said.
Then it was their turn. Nine planes swooped in at about 8:30. "One guy must not have liked me or something," Chuck said. "He was bap-bap-bap-bap with his gun and I saw an open window into a basement and I went right through there."
The initial attack lasted several hours, targeting military buildings, oil-storage yards and lookout stations. The Pan Air Hotel was hit. The next day, the planes returned for more bombing and strafing.
Early on the third day, Chuck was sent out with others to destroy anything the Japanese might find useful in the armory and the motor pool. On their way back, they saw the invaders, 5,000 strong, coming ashore, rifles fixed with bayonets, pushing past small-arms skirmishes and heading toward the central plaza in Agana, the capital.
"I thought, 'Oh, Jesus, goodbye life,'" Chuck said.
Two of the Marines with him tried to flee and were killed. Chuck said their heads were lopped off. The Americans were ordered to surrender and line up in the plaza. A Marine deemed disobedient was fatally stabbed with a bayonet.
For the next month, Chuck was kept in a church, fed a spoonful of meat twice a day. Then the Japanese sent the POWs off to various forced-labor camps. Chuck wound up at Hirohata, near Osaka, working at the harbor unloading boats carrying supplies for a steel mill.
He spent the rest of the war there.
Stealing rice
On the surface, Chuck was a model prisoner. He's always had a gift for languages and he quickly learned Japanese. His captors tapped him as an interpreter and gave him a plush job working a winch.

A parathyroidectomy is a surgery to remove parathyroid glands. There are four parathyroid glands located in the neck. The glands make a hormone that balance the level of
in the blood.
The surgery is done to remove one or more abnormal parathyroid glands. The glands can be abnormal due to cancer or for other reasons.
A minimally invasive approach is usually done if only one gland needs to be removed. If more than one gland needs to be removed or if the doctor needs to do additional surgery in the neck, she may use a conventional approach instead, which involves making larger incisions.
Complications are not common but, no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a parathyroidectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Talk to your doctor about these risks before the surgery.
Your doctor will:
You should:
General anesthesia
is used most often. It will block any pain and you will stay asleep through the surgery.
In some cases, local anesthesia may be used instead.
The area will be numb but you will be awake.
There are different types of minimally invasive surgeries that may be used, such as:
A small incision will be made in the neck. A small tube with a tiny camera will be passed through the incision. The images from the camera will be sent to a TV monitors so the doctor can see the glands. Other small tools will be passed through the tube to detach and remove the gland. Once the gland has been removed, the incision will be closed with stitches.
A radioactive substance will be injected into your body. The abnormal gland will absorb the substance but the healthy glands will not. A small incision will be made in the neck and a small probe will be inserted. The probe will detect signals that are given off by the radioactive substance in the abnormal gland. This will help the doctor find the abnormal gland. Other small tools will be passed through the tube to detach and remove the gland. Once the gland has been removed, the incision will be closed with stitches.
With either surgery, if all four glands were removed, a part of one gland may be placed in a different area of the neck or in the forearm.
Between 30 minutes and 1-2 hours (depending on the type of surgery)
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. After the surgery, you may feel like you have a
sore throat. Your doctor will give you medication to help manage the pain.
You may need to stay in the hospital for a day or you may be able to leave the same day. Ask your doctor if this is an option for you. Your doctor may also choose to keep you longer if you have any problems.
The hospital staff will:
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. To help your recovery at home:
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:

I've got a problem that I hope other Admins out there can help me with. I have several Zimbra open source servers that I manage. When I set up the web client to access accounts I have no problems setting up multiple email sources outside of Zimbra. And I can set up the web client to pull from different Zimbra accounts on the same server (same domain). The problem comes in when I try to setup the web client to access email on a different Zimbra server for a different domain. I go to the Preferences and Accounts and click "Add External Account". It doesn't matter whether I set it Pop3 or IMAP I still get an error. It's hard for me to capture the error because I can't copy and paste the text from the error message, but I'll try and type it in here. The error reads:
Error: d2:CN19:mail.infintiyok.com1:O26:Zimbra Collaboration Suite2:OU26:Zimbra Collaboration Suite6:accept4:true5:alias30:mail.infinityok.com:1 3410717674:fromi1341071775000e4: host19:mail.infinityok.com2:io26:Zimbra Collaboration Suite3:iou26:Zimbra Collaboration Suite3:md532:9f5ABE13C90CD3E2C1B372A2E7241348:mism atch5:false1:s10:12410717674:sha140:B5C171FA3F3CCA B#*F20BDABBE2AD44E34C2F002:toi1656431775000ee
Both Zimbra servers are Open Source versionm 7.2.0
I would like to get this working because I have to check mail from both Zimbra servers and it would be much easier to check it in one web mail interface and not have to do it on two separate computers. Also, I know that I could do this with the Zimbra Desktop client, but that's really not an option because I am not always checking my mail on the same machine. So I have to use the Web Client for getting my mail.
I appreciate any help from the community I can get on this issue.

With everything considered (price/need/character) who do you want to see back in a Dolphins uniform next season?
With everything considered (price/need/character) who do you want to see back in a Dolphins uniform next season?
Reggie Bush he is our only playmaker at this point and Jake Long at the right price.
Reggie, and Brian both quality players with great character.
It has to be Reggie, thank god no one picked Long.............
Though I'd sign 4 or 5 of those because I see no need to weaken our team, I wouldn't consider any of those players irreplaceable foundational players, like Wake was last year or Reshad next year.
Long. Although his played declined this season due to injuries, a great left tackle is hard to find. He is still worth resigning, as our O line is not that deep. RB is OK if Bush leaves, and although I want Hartline to stay, and expect that he will, I think we will draft a couple of WR early anyways. His possible loss could be covered. Smith is another one thatn if he goes, could be hard to replace. Not great, but solid, and we need DB help, but Long would be the biggest loss IMHO.
Smith. Solid starting CB on a team that is weak at the position.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII using Tapatalk 2
Long � Injury riddled
Smith � Too soft
Bush � Playmaker
Hartline � Zero redzone production
Starks � Disappears during stretches
Fasano � Non seam threat
Starks is the best DL in this team and Miami needs to sign him
Starks and Bush. Although invisible at times, Starks is solid and would only make another team's line that much better. I say Bush, because I believe they did not utilize him fully this season and only started to figure it out at the end. If we can get WR locked up, I believe Reggie just adds another dynamic to the offense that the defense has to prepare for. I see screens being very effective to Reggie if we get the downfield threat we need. The combo of Bush and Miller make for some interesting schemes.

DUNNELLON - An 18-year-old man accused of abusing a 4-year-old girl was taken into custody Tuesday.
According to the Marion County Sheriff's Office, they had a warrant for the arrest of Austin Dakota Freeman for sexual assault and lewd and lascivious behavior on a child younger than 12. Freeman was found hiding in a neighbor's barn in Dunnellon and was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.
The investigation began Aug. 19, after deputies received a report that Freeman molested the girl in a parking lot in June. The girl told officials what happened and her mother told Detective Ollue Myers a similar story. The warrant was then issued for Freeman's arrest.

Zach Germain Earns 15th Place Finish in Martinsville
Posted by: lori on Jun 09, 2010
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing
Mooresville, NC (06-08-2010) – NASCAR K&N Pro Series East rookie Zach Germain raced Sunday afternoon in the rain-shortened event at Martinsville Speedway. The Ohio native raced his way through the field to ninth-place before getting caught on pit road by the rainfall and then finishing 15th in his fourth NASCAR career start. The weekend was a unique and intense learning experience for Germain who had what he considered to be an all-star crew.
"Our Germain.com Camry team learned and accomplished more than I could have hoped for this weekend at Martinsville Speedway. A lot of that is due to our teammates on the No. 30 Valvoline Tundra crew that came straight to Martinsville on Saturday after winning the race in Texas on Friday night. For me and my team, having them there allowed us to learn in very controlled steps throughout the practice sessions, qualifying and the race. We achieved our team goal of completing all of the laps and we really competed this weekend. It was wild. There was a lot of beating and banging but that's Martinsville," said Germain.
Germain received driver-coaching from Truck Series champion Todd Bodine and learned that sometimes different setups simply require different driving styles.
"At first, I had a tough time figuring out my braking and throttle points through the corners. Todd Bodine was generous enough to come out first thing after his Texas win and help me. He was very helpful when it came to a fast line around the track. Mike Hillman Jr. made great changes to the Germain.com Camry and during the last five laps of the first practice I finally figured out my style of driving around Martinsville. It was a great feeling," explained Germain.
Mike Hillman Jr. didn't plan to go to Martinsville Speedway to handle the crew chief role for the rookie driver and young team, but, Hillman loves being a crew chief and doing anything he can to make Germain Racing a success on the race track. Hillman explained that he used a different approach with Germain than he does with his regular driver, Bodine.
"The way I approached Saturday and Sunday was a lot different than the way I approached Thursday and Friday because then I was working with Todd Bodine, and I know by the tone of Todd's voice what he needs changed. Working with Zach, in my first K&N Pro Series East race, I knew that it was our first race together, and I knew that what's most important is completing all of the race laps, all of practice – every lap possible. With Zach being a rookie driver at a Cup Series facility like Martinsville, track time is extremely valuable. I listened to Zach's feedback, made changes and listened to hear him react to and understand those changes. It worked great and we improved the car every time," said Hillman.
Hillman and his crew members had been anxious to work a K&N Pro Series race since the season began, but Martinsville was the first time the scheduling worked out.
"I love racing. I love being a crew chief. Working with Zach and the 24 crew, and our sister team, the No. 77 Camry with Jeff (McClure) and Miguel (Paludo) in the East Series was really fun. We have two great teams competing in the K&N Series and this weekend made me even more proud to work for Germain Racing," said Hillman.
Watch Sunday's race on SPEED on June 10th at 6:00 PM Eastern.
Zach Germain races the No. 24 Germain.com Camry next on Friday, June 25th at another Sprint Cup Series track – New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Qualifying is at 3:15 PM ET on June 24th. The New Hampshire race will air on SPEED on July 1st at 6 PM ET.
Germain Racing is a championship-winning organization competing in all three of NASCAR's national series. The team adds the K&N Pro Series East No. 24 Germain.com Camry to its lineup this year, and may add K&N Pro Series West and late model races. Sponsorship and branding opportunities are available. Visit GermainRacing.com for more information.

'Sharknado 2' whipped up storm of viewers, tweets
Published: Friday, August 1, 2014 at 9:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 1, 2014 at 9:26 a.m.
Syfy says its sequel to the horror spoof "Sharknado" snapped up 3.9 million viewers Wednesday night.
The film, officially titled "Sharknado 2: The Second One," nearly tripled the 1.37 million viewers who saw last summer's premiere of the original "Sharknado" film.
Meanwhile, Nielsen estimates that 5.5 million people saw one or more of the 581,000 tweets posted during the airing. At one point, the film held all Top 10 trending topics in the United States. By comparison, 318,000 tweets about the first "Sharknado" film were posted when it premiered last July.
In campy fashion, "Sharknado 2" moved the action from Los Angeles to New York City, which was besieged by its own fearsome storm of rain and falling sharks.
Syfy said the film will air again Saturday and Sunday.

College of Communication and Information Sciences students should meet the general admission requirements of the University. The College has final authority in decisions concerning the possible application of junior college credit and other college credit toward a student's degree requirements.
Essential Communication Functions
College-level grammar, spelling, punctuation, diction, and typing skills are requirements for the successful completion of all communication courses at The University of Alabama. Students electing the information sciences minor must have taken either CAT 100 Computer Concepts and Applications or CS 102 Microcomputer Applications or demonstrate equivalent competency. CAT 100 or CS 102 will not earn credit toward the information sciences minor.
Lower Division and Upper Division
The curriculum of the College of Communication and Information Sciences is divided into a lower division and an upper division. The lower division consists of all communication courses at the 100 and 200 levels. The upper division consists of all communication courses at the 300 level or above. The College of Communication and Information Sciences has established both lower-division and upper-division requirements for students. All University of Alabama students who enroll in upper-division communication courses must have met the College's upper-division requirements. Students who enroll in communication courses and do not meet the College's requirements concerning prerequisite courses and grades will be administratively disenrolled on or before the first day of classes. Students who enroll in communication courses and fail to attend class meetings during the first week of classes will be disenrolled.
Lower-division requirements. A student who has completed the necessary prerequisite courses with the required minimum grade of "C-" may enroll in lower-division communication courses. Prerequisites are included in the course descriptions in this catalog, but they are subject to change.
Upper-division requirements. To enroll in upper-division communication courses, a student must have completed the necessary prerequisite courses with grades of "C-" or higher and must have an overall grade point average of 2.0 or higher.
It is the student's responsibility to declare a major in the College of Communication and Information Sciences. Application is made by filling out a major/minor form in the major department within the College. However, a student transferring from another division on campus must complete a change of division form in 297 Phifer Hall. If the transferring student has more than 45 hours, the student must also have a GPA of 2.0 or higher. The transfer of division form must be completed before an official major/minor form can be obtained from the department of choice.
A candidate for a major in the College of Communication and Information Sciences must choose a minor field of study in any department or area for which he or she is eligible, subject to both the acceptance of registration for a minor by that department or area, and approval of the minor by the student's advisor in the College.
Qualified students in the College of Communication and Information Sciences are encouraged to participate in the University Honors Program. Complete information is contained in the University Honors Program section of this catalog.

Tampa, Florida -- A blaring alarm woke up thousands of people in Tampa Bay early Monday, for an alert sent 150 miles away.
"Everybody woke up thinking, 'What the heck's going on?'" Ismanuela Morange said.
"It sounded like a siren -- like 'wee ooooh.' And everybody's just busting out, going, 'What is that?' Thought the house was on fire."
The panic and confusion inside Morange's house mirrored the scene in thousands of bedrooms across Florida just before 2 o'clock Monday morning.
Many smart phones on Verizon and Sprint's networks beeped, chimed, and buzzed with an AMBER Alert message. The statewide alert was sent by investigators at the scene where a 2-year-old disappeared southeast of Ft. Myers.
That little girl was found safe a few hours later.
The state says the original reporting agency controls what areas get sent the alert. Collier County requested this one go all over Florida.
That meant phones lit up the night 150 miles away in Tampa Bay.
There are three basic kinds of Wireless Emergency Alerts, all sent by government agencies to newer smart phones:
- Amber Alerts for missing children.
- Imminent Danger Alerts mainly for local severe weather.
- Presidential alerts sent nationwide by the White House.
Follow 10 News Reporter Grayson Kamm on twitter @graysonkamm
Presidential alerts are always "on," but here's how you can turn on or off the other two kinds.
On an Android phone, go into your Messages, then under the menu, choose Settings. Scroll down to "Emergency alerts" and check or uncheck the boxes.
On an iPhone, tap Settings, then Notifications. At the bottom, you'll find the options to toggle the alerts on or off.
You can turn them off, but folks like Morange say a few late-night wake-ups are worth it if it one day helps reunite a family.
"It's good even though the noise is annoying. But it's good, though. At least it keeps us safe," she said.
If your phone is more than a year or two old, it likely will not receive the Wireless Emergency Alerts, which display on your phone sort of like a free text message.
You can get emergency weather information here through 10 News Weathercall and AMBER Alert emails and text messages here from FDLE.

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - The defense is expected to continue presenting its side in the first degree murder trial of Rico Ricardo Paul, 20 of south St. Louis this morning.
Attorneys were interrupted Wednesday after a courtroom bailiff caught a woman in the court audience taking cellular phone photographs in the courtroom of Judge David Mason.
Court officials say the confiscated phone was in the possession of a woman whose connection to the trial was not immediately known.
Paul is charged with the May 2011 shooting death of 58 year old Paul Reiter, who served as circulation manager for the St. Louis American newspaper for more than two decades.
Reiter was gunned down in the backyard of his Dutchtown neighborhood home, after he encountered the defendant trying to break into a neighboring home.
Prosecutors say Paul was the burglar and fired the fatal shots while trying to escape the neighborhood.
Paul is also charged with attempted burglary and armed criminal action and was on probation for an unrelated crime when Reiter was gunned down.
Trial resumes later today.

San Diego County officials unveiled a new email subscription service Wednesday that helps the public keep closer tabs on sex offenders in neighborhoods, but they remain frustrated by a state law that prevents easier access to the information.
Ideally, the email alerts would include the names, photos and other details about sex offenders. But state law prohibits the public dissemination of such specifics when it comes to sex offenders, forcing the county to scale back its pilot program.
The county's free notifications instead alert residents to a change in their neighborhood and prompt users to check the state's Megan's Law sex offender database, where specific information about offenders is stored.
County Supervisor Bill Horn, who represents the North County, expressed disappointment Wednesday that the service isn't all it could be, but said it was still a step in the right direction.
"We get so busy in our daily routines that we aren't checking the Megan's Law website as often as we should," Horn said at a news conference at sheriff's headquarters in Kearny Mesa.
The Megan's Law site, launched in 2004 by the California Department of Justice, does not have a feature to update users when sex offenders change addresses, and instead depends on the public to actively seek out the information.
Horn, who called the Megan's Law site "too passive," began looking for a more proactive way to educate the public about sex offenders in 2010, following the killings of Amber Dubois of Escondido and Chelsea King of Poway. The teenagers were attacked in separate incidents by sex offender John Gardner III, who is serving a life sentence in prison.
"San Diego County has faced too many of these tragedies in our past as the result of violent sexual predators we have in our midst," Horn said.
Users can sign up for the email alerts at SanDiegoCountySexOffenders.com and enter numerous ZIP codes to be tracked, such as home, school, work, day care or a relative's house. Emails will then be sent out whenever there is a change to that area, and it is up to the user to recheck the list of offenders on the Megan's Law site to determine what exactly has changed.
The process isn't exactly streamlined, but it helps get the community more engaged, said Sheriff Bill Gore.
The program cost nearly $20,000 to develop and is expected to cost the Sheriff's Department another $2,400 a year to manage. The software was designed by The Omega Group, the same San Diego-based company behind Crimemapping.com, a crime statistic database for the public.
Similar email alerts are already available from various national private and nonprofit organizations, sometimes for a fee.
Horn said he still has hope that the state law preventing the dissemination of specifics about sex offenders will be overturned.
He and then-Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher of San Diego had proposed a bill that would allow local governments to release such detailed notifications, but it was killed in 2011 by the Assembly Appropriations Committee, which cited the potential for high one-time costs "in the hundreds of thousands of dollars."
The committee wrote that while the bill wouldn't actually require the state to do these notifications, it would create significant pressure on the state to do so.
The committee also noted the reasoning behind the law in the first place, which is to prevent harassment of sex offenders and to make sure the website is a regulatory effort, not a punitive one.
But Horn said the law "protects the wrong people."
San Diego County has roughly 5,200 registered sex offenders whose movements are tracked and enforced by the state, as well as by a task force made up of local agencies.

Here's what the stars have in store for you this week:
The Hinesville Area Arts Council is accepting applications for barbecue connoisseurs to compete at the 11th annual Blues & BBQ Festival, set for 4-11 p.m. Sept. 20.
In honor of the 25th anniversary of Bottlenose research, members of The Dolphin Project will hold a celebratory event at the J.F. Gregory Park Pavilion from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday.
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker recently approved a request by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries to allow limited recreational harvesting of red snapper in federal waters, according to Doug Haymans, policy coordinator with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
The Hinesville Area Arts Council is accepting applications for barbecue contestants for the 11th annual Blues & BBQ Festival, set for 4-11 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20.
DVD's expected in stores an online next week include:
NASA is on a mission, but this one has more to do with Earth itself than what lies beyond.
The sing-along version of "Frozen" (PG) is the next outdoor movie at Holbrook Pond Recreation Area. It runs at 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase. Bring lawn chairs and blankets. For more information, call 767-4316.
SAVANNAH - Chatham Parkway Toyota will give away $50 dinner cards to military members and first responders who stop by the business July 4-14 at 7 Park of Commerce Way.
Acclaimed blues artist Janiva Magness will hold a free concert from 7-9:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22, in Bradwell Park.
Before we get to this week's feature, let's check in with the box office report.
Released in the summer of 1964, "Marnie" wasn't a typical Alfred Hitchcock thriller. While a moderate success at the box office, the eponymous psychological mystery was panned by some critics at the time.
When it comes to TV, the most buzz-worthy topic definitely is last weekend's season-four finale of "Game of Thrones." However, another television favorite of mine seems unexpectedly tied to "GoT" - the USA Network legal drama, "Suits."
Tom Cruise has delved into the fickle waters of the sci-fi blockbuster time and time again.
Following the professional path of a parent isn't always easy, especially if that career is acting. Brothers Clint and Ron Howard long ago escaped their father's acting shadow, with Ron starring in two popular TV shows, "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Happy Days," and going on to become one of Hollywood's most respected directors.

LA Roadster Show and Swap Meet - Topless TreatsWritten by on November 1, 2009 Contributors: Kevin Lee At 45, The L.A. Roadster Show May Be Middle Aged, But Shows No Sign Of Slowing Down.
If it's Father's Day weekend it means the annual L.A. Roadster Show and Swap Meet has come around again. A well-established tradition for hot rodders in Southern California, this year marked the 45th such event for the club which was formed in 1957. The established format of only letting finished, painted, and upholstered 1936 and older roadsters into the main show area is the main draw. But at least double the real estate taken up by the finished roadsters is set aside outside the gate for the huge swap meet and specialty parking area, where pre-'75 hot rods, customs and other special interest vehicles are made welcome.
This year saw a few new additions to the show, with ten or so vintage front-engined dragsters firing up for a Cacklefest on Saturday, wowing many spectators who'd never witnessed such a sight. Or smell! The Pinstripers Gathering for Charity-hopefully to become an annual event-raised funds by 'striping whatever was laid in front of them, with proceeds going to the L.A. Roadsters' favorite causes. Celebrating 75 years of the '33-34 Ford, Steve's Auto Restorations sponsored a corral for Model 40s, awarding 15 special trophies, while on Sunday there was apparently a special area dubbed the Traditional Rod and Suede Show, though many such cars had congregated together since Friday in the specialty parking area.
If you were shopping for new hot rod parts, you'd have been able to assemble several differently-styled rods from the parts offered by the hundreds of vendors, selling everything from complete bodies and chassis, through paint and upholstery, to the smallest trim part. And that's without the clothing, lifestyle accessory, and artwork vendors.
Celebrities in attendance included Dave Bell (you'll know his Henry HiRise cartoons from Street Rodder magazine) and Henry Winkler, aka The Fonz, both signing autographs and meeting fans, while several other well known hot rod personalities could be seen enjoying the show on what is, for many, a rare weekend off. Or not, as the case may have been, if they were working their booths. I know many people were pleased to meet and talk hot rods with the guys from Ionia Hot Rod Shop, who'd hauled a great rolling chassis out from Michigan.
But the highlight of the show for me personally will always be the swap meet, with truly unique, desirable, and hard to find parts down each aisle. Maybe the effects of the economy were hitting home, but I saw very few people hauling large parts back to the parking lot, and many of the projects and cars for sale weren't selling, despite some favorable pricing. But smaller stuff was moving, and most of the people I knew with swap spaces selling realistically priced parts reported decent sales during the weekend.
Though it didn't make for great photos, the overcast skies on Saturday were perfect for walking the show without getting burned, a bonus if you'd been to the open house events at both SO-CAL Speed Shop and Walden Speed Shop the day before, though Sunday saw SoCal sunshine of the finest caliber. With 885 roadsters to get around, plus the swap meet and specialty parking areas, there was simply too much to see in one day. And that's a good thing!

If you were looking for vintage induction setups you'd come to the right place, so long as you'd brought what's left of your savings! From a McCulloch supercharger for a Flatty, injection systems, 4-71 blowers and tunnel rams, to a new six-carb setup for a small-block Chevy, you could take your pick!How about this three-window '36 already chopped and dropped with a small-block Chevy installed? On a WEEDETR chassis, with the hard work done, there was even an R&C cover taped to the door for inspiration!The Roadster Show always turns up goodies you rarely see at other swap meets. How about a pair of Halibrand V-8 quick-changes? One was an early Culver City-manufactured item. The one on the right was complete with gears and axles for $2,100.We spent a good few minutes drooling over this old '28 on '32 'rails. It definitely had some racing history, it featured a Model A front axle on an unsplit wishbone and a round tube front crossmember. The top of the roadster body had been modified for a tonneau and rollbar, but otherwise it was in remarkable shape.Luis Loyola's A roadster has been around for a few years, but we never tire of seeing that blown '63 Studebaker Hawk motor. A blown Hawk was unusual, as these engines were usually found in Avanti models. Owning his own interior shop meant tackling that new top posed no problems for Luis.Looking like it drove straight out of a Don Montgomery book, this '30/31 A wore splash aprons but no fenders, as removing fenders is easy, but you have to lift the body to lose the aprons, so many rode around like this back in the day. It was period perfect down to the seat upholstery, gauges, and Eddie Meyer speed equipment.
Can you work out what Ron Williams' custom started out as? The Tucson-based convertible is actually a '36 Ford, despite the later front sheetmetal, and appears to have once been a two-door humpback sedan.Roadster Show swap meet prices may be traditionally a little on the high side, but complete cars and rolling projects didn't seem to be selling this year. Five grand didn't seem unreasonable for a '36 five window coupe, however.Peter and Jan Wendorf brought their '32 out from Arizona, and while brown may be subdued, there's nothing subtle about a two-fours-fed Hemi poking out where the hood sides once fitted. Check that cool exhaust too!As befits a collector of vintage race cars, Tom Malloy runs some cool and rare parts on his '32. Knock-off Halibrands? Oh sure, but check out the Halibrand finned magnesium "lobster" brake calipers, straight from Indy and sprint cars in the Sixties. Malloy's interest in old race cars would explain that quartet of downdraft carbs too!I could have spent much longer admiring the modifications on this Valley Custom-esque '40 Ford. It's an ex-sedan-note the radiused wheel openings, rolled rocker panels and lower fenders, sectioned body, and perfectly fitted hardtop. Can't wait to see this one come together.Ted Jones' resto-style '32 roadster looks like it just needs a set of wires and bias-plies to pass off as a stocker, except Henry's panel fit was never this good!Make of it what you will, this A coupe had 'em gawping all weekend. Probably not what your mind conjures up when a twin blown Hemi-powered A coupe is mentioned. It was different, with a swing-away steering column and a hand brake in place of a foot brake pedal, and must have been a packaging nightmare. We'd love to know where those front wheel centers came from."The Original Wheelstander" is how Bill "Maverick" Golden's Little Red Wagon is billed, though I'd rather have seen it on its original rolling stock. It was displayed to attract interest in the Icons of Speed and Style auction at the Petersen Museum in September, where it will be offered without reserve. You've still got time to cash in that 401k.
A B400 might not be a roadster, with its fixed windshield posts, but Ed and Linda Woody's stunning example made it into the show, and we're glad it did! An Offy-headed Flatty powers the Hemet-based drop-top.This little chopped 'n' channeled Model A coupe caught my eye, thanks to its wide-five wheels and brakes, 1/8-inch overbored Flathead and cool stance. It was for sale too, but I was in the market to sell an A coupe that weekend, not buy one!After competing in the AMBR competition earlier this year, Boston-based Kim Vranas' '27 tub has been on display in the Petersen Museum. Husband Chuck drew the short straw (!) and flew out to drive it to the Roadster Show. Now back in the museum, it'll head home to the East coast soon.With three carbs on a small-block Ford and a heavily channeled body, Jeff Thielman's aptly named Ship Shape Model A is based in San Pedro, near the LA harbor, and was painted by Starlite Rod & Kustom in neighboring Torrance.Mike Smith took a few days away from his shop, California Hot Rods, to bring out this '25 roadster that looks like it was transported right out of the late-Sixties.Back in the early days of the L.A. Roadster show, brass-era T-buckets were more of the norm and wild ones like the T Kup built by Dan Woods were the top of the game. The Indy racing Weber-fed Gurney-Westlake 289 is the centerpiece of this retro ride brought out by current owner Brent Unger.From its Divco wheels in back to the 4-71 huffed small-block under the hood, and rolling on skinny Firestones, Jamie Johnson's '32 five-window hit a nerve. With the price of good Deuce bodies these days, and this one's absence of filler, we thought the $70K asking price didn't seem terribly bad, even with our empty pockets.This '26/27 T roadster was powered by a Flathead with Offenhauser heads and a 2x2 Weiand intake. A peek inside revealed a Russetta timing tag from May 18, 1947 secured to the dash for a run at El Mirage with a speed of 108.30 mph.
With a big 'n' little combination we don't see enough of these days, this Deuce roadster featured a Ron Mangus interior, Rod Bods body, and Dick Rodwell windshield and top. It also had its headlights way down on the spreader bar.Despite the fact it's a cabriolet and not a coupe, and the flames are totally different, Bob Casper's '33-34 Corral participant is reminiscent of the California Kid. Must be the Halibrands.

Last night while I was pondering what side dish I could make out of some tomatoes that were on my windowsill, I remembered a "Super quinoa tabouleh" recipe I had tucked away from Body of Knowledge Healing Arts. Now usually I wouldn't have had mint or parsley just hanging out in my fridge, but then I remembered, "duh, they're growing in my garden!" Out I went with my little snips to cut my fresh ingredients from the garden.
It may be awhile until I see a veggie, but it was very satisfying making great use of my herbs in the meantime.

I received this in the mail today, and I could not be more pleased. It is already hanging above my bed, and it is extremely calming. The material is not cheap, but it is easy and light enough to hang with just some push pins. I am so impressed with this piece. I absolutely love it.
I love how the angle is slightly tilted, as though I was seeing this scene from a deck...
Amazing, Leah!

Northey Visits Marcus, Remsen
(Remsen) -- Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey made a stop in both Marcus and Remsen on Monday. Northey, a farmer from Spirit Lake, says this summer's drought has similarities to the 1988 drought. He says several regions of the state are suffering, particularly east-central Iowa.
Listen here
However, he also says their are some pockets within the state that have not been adversely affected by the dry conditions.
Listen here
Northey says most of the government sponsored disaster programs are coordinated at the federal level, but he says the state department of agriculture are standing by to help.
Listen here
The state secretary of agriculture toured both the Little Sioux Corn Processors in Marcus and he visited the Remsen Processing in Remsen. Iowa's corn crop has deteriorated further with 40 percent now in very poor or poor condition. A week ago it was 27 percent.
The USDA says it has received reports of farmers chopping down their corn.
Just 23 percent of the crop is in good to excellent condition down from 36 percent a week earlier.
For Iowa soybeans 30 percent are now in very poor or poor condition. It was 20 percent a week ago. Just 28 percent of the crop is in good or excellent condition down from 38 percent a week ago.
Nationally, 45 percent of the corn crop is very poor or poor. Last week it was 38 percent.
For soybeans, 35 percent is now poor or very poor compared with the 30 percent a week earlier.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is an uncommon type of cancer of the blood cells. The term "chronic" in chronic myelogenous leukemia indicates that this cancer tends to progress more slowly than acute forms of leukemia. The term "myelogenous" (my-uh-LOHJ-uh-nus) in chronic myelogenous leukemia refers to the type of cells affected by this cancer.
Chronic myelogenous leukemia can also be called chronic myeloid leukemia and chronic granulocytic leukemia. Chronic myelogenous leukemia typically affects older adults and rarely occurs in children, though it can occur at any age.
Signs and symptoms of chronic myelogenous leukemia may include:
Chronic myelogenous leukemia doesn't always reveal itself with obvious signs and symptoms during the early phase. It's possible to live with chronic myelogenous leukemia for months or years without realizing it.
Because people with chronic myelogenous leukemia tend to respond better to treatment when it's started early, make an appointment with your doctor if you have any persistent signs or symptoms that worry you.
Chronic myelogenous leukemia occurs when something goes awry in the genes of your blood cells. It's not clear what initially sets off this process, but doctors have discovered how it progresses into chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Human cells normally contain 23 pairs of chromosomes. These chromosomes hold the DNA that contains the instructions (genes) that control the cells in your body. In people with chronic myelogenous leukemia, the chromosomes in the blood cells swap sections with each other. A section of chromosome 9 switches places with a section of chromosome 22, creating an extra-short chromosome 22 and an extra-long chromosome 9.
The extra-short chromosome 22 is called the Philadelphia chromosome, named for the city where it was discovered. The Philadelphia chromosome is present in the blood cells of 90 percent of people with chronic myelogenous leukemia.
The Philadelphia chromosome creates a new gene. Genes from chromosome 9 combine with genes from chromosome 22 to create a new gene called BCR-ABL. The BCR-ABL gene contains instructions that tell the abnormal blood cell to produce too much of a protein called tyrosine kinase. Tyrosine kinase promotes cancer by allowing certain blood cells to grow out of control.
Your blood cells originate in the bone marrow, a spongy material inside your bones. When your bone marrow functions normally, it produces immature cells (blood stem cells) in a controlled way. These cells then mature and specialize into the various types of blood cells that circulate in your body — red cells, white cells and platelets.
In chronic myelogenous leukemia, this process doesn't work properly. The tyrosine kinase caused by the BCR-ABL gene causes too many white blood cells. Most or all of these contain the abnormal Philadelphia chromosome. The diseased white blood cells don't grow and die like normal cells. The diseased white blood cells build up in huge numbers, crowding out healthy blood cells and damaging the bone marrow.
Factors that increase the risk of chronic myelogenous leukemia:
The chromosome mutation that leads to chronic myelogenous leukemia isn't passed from parents to offspring. This mutation is believed to be acquired, meaning it develops after birth.
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) can cause a variety of complications, including:
Start by making an appointment with your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you. If blood tests or other tests and procedures suggest leukemia, your doctor may refer you to a specialist in the treatment of blood and bone marrow diseases and conditions (hematologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help make the most of your time together. List questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For chronic myelogenous leukemia, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions that occur to you.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose chronic myelogenous leukemia include:
The phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia refers to the aggressiveness of the disease. Your doctor determines the phase by measuring the proportion of diseased cells to healthy cells in your blood or bone marrow. A higher proportion of diseased cells means chronic myelogenous leukemia is at a more advanced stage.
Phases of chronic myelogenous leukemia include:
The goal of chronic myelogenous leukemia treatment is to eliminate the blood cells that contain the abnormal BCR-ABL gene that causes the overabundance of diseased blood cells. For most people, it's not possible to eliminate all diseased cells, but treatment can help achieve a long-term remission of the disease.
Targeted drugs are designed to attack cancer by focusing on a specific aspect of cancer cells that allows them to grow and multiply. In chronic myelogenous leukemia, the target of these drugs is the protein produced by the BCR-ABL gene — tyrosine kinase. Targeted drugs that block the action of tyrosine kinase include:
Targeted drugs are the initial treatment for most people diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia. If the disease doesn't respond or becomes resistant to the first targeted drug, doctors may consider other targeted drugs or other treatments. Side effects of these targeted drugs include swelling or puffiness of the skin, nausea, muscle cramps, rash, fatigue, diarrhea, and skin rashes.
Doctors haven't determined a safe point at which people with chronic myelogenous leukemia can stop taking targeted drugs. For this reason, most people continue to take targeted drugs even when blood tests reveal a remission of chronic myelogenous leukemia.
A blood stem cell transplant, also called a bone marrow transplant, offers the only chance for a definitive cure for chronic myelogenous leukemia. However, it's usually reserved for people who haven't been helped by other treatments because blood stem cell transplants have risks and carry a high rate of serious complications.
During a blood stem cell transplant, high doses of chemotherapy drugs are used to kill the blood-forming cells in your bone marrow. Then blood stem cells from a donor or your own cells that were previously collected and stored are infused into your bloodstream. The new cells form new, healthy blood cells to replace the diseased cells.
Chemotherapy drugs are typically combined with other treatments for chronic myelogenous leukemia. Often, chemotherapy treatment for chronic myelogenous leukemia is given as a tablet you take by mouth. Side effects of chemotherapy drugs depend on what drugs you take.
Biological therapies harness your body's immune system to help fight cancer. The biological drug interferon is a synthetic version of an immune system cell. Interferon may help reduce the growth of leukemia cells. Interferon may be an option if other treatments don't work or if you can't take other drugs, such as during pregnancy. Side effects of interferon include fatigue, fever, flu-like symptoms and weight loss.
Clinical trials study the latest treatment for diseases or new ways of using existing treatments. Enrolling in a clinical trial for chronic myelogenous leukemia may give you the chance to try the latest treatment, but it can't guarantee a cure. Talk to your doctor about what clinical trials are available to you. Together you can discuss the benefits and risks of a clinical trial.
For many people, chronic myelogenous leukemia is a disease they will live with for years. Many will continue treatment with imatinib indefinitely. Some days, you may feel sick even if you don't look sick. And some days, you may just be sick of having cancer. Self-care measures to help you adjust and cope with a chronic illness include:
No alternative medicines have been found to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia. But alternative medicine may help you cope with the stress of a chronic condition and the side effects of cancer treatment. Talk to your doctor about your options, such as:
Chronic myelogenous leukemia often is a chronic disease and requires long-term treatments. To help you cope with your cancer journey, try to:

I guess there must to be a place to "whitelist" the sender to avoid this check up,
as the amavisd.conf.in does with the spam, I don't have a clue where to find it.
Could you tell me what config file serves to this propose?

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles police say a fourth-grade teacher has been arrested and charged with sexual abuse of 19 students and one adult.
Police said in a statement that Robert Pimental, a teacher at George De La Torre Jr. Elementary in the Wilmington area, was arrested Wednesday. The 57-year-old left his position with the Los Angeles Unified School District at the onset of the investigation in March, after working for the district since 1974.
Police say the abuse occurred at school.
Pimental's bail has been set at $12 million. His arraignment date hasn't been set.
School district officials said they were preparing a statement Wednesday night.

Pretty nice, the only thing that strikes me is your middle rooms aren't getting any light which will make them very dark and gloomy during the day.
Stone floors imply paver over earth (or concrete).
Wood floors imply that there is an air space below (like a second floor or over a crawl space).
You use both on the same level ... so does half your building have a crawl space or basement and the other half not?
Wall to wall carpet is fairly modern (the large patterned floor looks like carpet). Area rugs historically more common.
The large game room has a marble floor, the only wall to wall rug is the hallway with the stairs. Perhaps a bit modern, but it is an older looking pattern, and it is a fantasy realm, who knows what the fashion is in that time and place. It's not like it is an impossibly advanced technology, and it was not supposed to represent any specific time frame on Earth.
In the southernmost room, isn't it a bit odd that the sun is shining through three windows each on different sides, but coming through at the same straight angles? So basically you have three different external light sources?

Wooo :O Big and shiney! ... is that enough feedback? I think it looks ... well, big and shiney.
I don't often give feedback on maps like this because for my campaigns I rarely use tactical maps and never figurines, so I'm not even in a position to comment on utility and so forth. What programs do you use for maps like this?
I'm with Larb - if you converted those two central rooms into a courtyard (or two) that would be an easy fix as all you'd have to do is to make the flooring stone and the furniture of a kind that would stand up to rain - e.g. stone benches, or just use vegetation like grass and plants.
Thanks Lukc! "O..Big and Shiney" is always good feedback! LOL! I've played and run games with and without figurines. A great DM can run a terrific game without the visual aids but as I am only an average DM I rely on all the visual help I can get. The map was made with DundJinni, tweaked with photoshop and displayed with MapTool.
I do like the idea of the central courtyard a lot (I'll try that in my next design) but clerestory windows sounds like an easier fix. Of course the real easy excuse is to say the wall lanterns have Light spells in them.
To answer Engris: The main reason that the light shines through like that is because the windows I used come with the light projection as part of the artwork.
However, it is not entirely wrong. If you are in a dim room when the sun is directly overhead, the light will come in equally from all windows on all sides of the room. At sunrise or sunset, then the lighting will be much more directional. So this map is correct for high noon! Or it could be night time if there were multiple light sources outside, like a ring of villagers with torches surrounding the building.

Regulator 29 FSBy Jeffrey Moser
Center-console boats will always be objects of my affection. As teenagers my friends and I spent large chunks of our summer vacations cruising, fishing, and looking for trouble on a 17-footer in the backwaters of Barnegat Bay, New Jersey. At any given time my friends and I had her loaded up with surfboards, diving and fishing gear, or just a horde of people bound for a favorite anchorage. Later I watched with great interest as boatbuilders began to push the center-console design into the mid-30-foot range, a move made possible by more powerful, more efficient outboards. Indeed, marrying a pair of these new outboards to the utilitarian center console created for me and a lot of other anglers what turned out to be the ultimate offshore fishing machine.
By the time Regulator Marine was founded in 1988, 30-foot-plus center consoles were hot items. But instead of building such large craft from its inception, Regulator decided to work its way up and focus on rigorous testing and the goal of building vessels that were capable of offshore fishing. Its factory in Edenton, North Carolina, on Albemarle Sound provided an advantageous place to address both factors. Since it started, Regulator has tested its boats in North Carolina's notoriously rough Oregon Inlet as well as offshore in the gamefish-rich waters off the Outer Banks.
With my love for center consoles, I was understandably keyed up to get aboard the 29 FS (the FS means forward seating). Like all Regulators, the 29 features a hull drawn by veteran naval architect Lou Codega, who, in his 25-year career, has designed production hulls for Carolina Classic and Cabo, semicustom boats for Bluewater Yachts, custom sportfishermen for Hines/Farley Yachts and Rybovich, and patrol boats for the U.S. Navy. She's got a solid fiberglass bottom and Regulator's Fiberglass Grillage System of Divinycell-cored fiberglass stringers, designed to provide her with the kind of stiff, strong hull needed to run offshore in snotty conditions.
Unfortunately, during my wring-out of the 29, neither her rough-water capabilities nor fish-raising attributes came up. A series of events prevented us from fishing, and an approaching weather system had stalled. As Regulator's Florida sales rep Michael Devlin and I took the 29 outside to run some numbers, the wind was nothing more than a 10-knot breeze with one- to two-foot seas, and those conditions stayed with us throughout the test.
Nevertheless, several factors emerged about her performance. The first was an impressive average top speed of 51.2 mph. Also impressive was how quickly and effortlessly she got out of the hole: In 20 seconds she had hit 45 mph, and she reached 50 mph in less than 30 seconds. On plane the 29 handled superbly, courtesy of Codega's running surface and Teleflex SeaStar hydraulic steering with optional power assist. I was able to execute 180-degree turns at WOT in fewer than three boat lengths with little loss in rpm, and when grass lines and crab pots popped up quickly in the hazy conditions, I weaved through them effortlessly without having to slow down.
Indeed, the twin Yamaha F250 four-strokes—the only engines available—seemed like a great match for the hull. This impression was reinforced later when I checked the data I'd gathered from the standard Yamaha Command Link fuel-burn gauge: She achieved better than 1 mpg throughout her rpm range, and at a fast cruise just shy of 34 mph at 4000 rpm, she burned 21.2 gph, or 1.60 mpg. The 29 is equipped with a standard 285-gallon fuel tank, comparatively large for a center console less than 30 feet, meaning that at that speed, she's good for a range of 410 miles.
If I had been able to wet a line on test day, the 29 would have been ready. Take her fish-stowage capabilities. Her foredeck has a standard 130-gallon insulated fishbox that measures 51"Lx27"Wx33"H, big enough for a baker's dozen of big mahis. In addition here to port and starboard are 50-gallon insulated fishboxes, also standard with the FS package, that are 73 inches long, ideal for swallowing a few nice-size wahoo in each. Aft and transom-mounted are a 30-gallon livewell and additional 84-quart bait box, both standard, the latter good for a few flats of ballyhoo; standard coaming pads back here promise comfort for stand-up fish fighting.
As I get older, it's still about having fun with friends on the water, but now I've got a son, so it's also about value. With a base price of $135,000, the Regulator 29 FS suits me just fine, and she's also well-suited to anglers looking to downsize or as a complement to a larger convertible. Add a custom hardtop and a tuna tower—which is what a lot of Regulator buyers do, according to Devlin—and you've got a tourney-capable boat at a fraction of the cost of a diesel-powered battlewagon. The 29 will get you and your crew offshore fast and allow you to troll all day without burning 300-plus gallons of fuel in the process. Now that's value, and if you're lucky, it'll get you dinner as well.

I stumbled upon this nifty garden device the other day while I was surfing the web. The GardenWatch Cam is perfect for gardeners who love gadgets. Maybe this is something you'd like to add to your wish list for Santa – I know, I shouldn't be thinking about the 'C' word already, but Santa's elves needs time to build all the toys you know!
The GardenWatch Cam by Brinno is designed to be placed outside in your garden to take photos at specific predetermined time settings. Simply put, you can record your flowers blooming, speed it up, and then watch it on your computer. It's not like sitting on your deck watching the grass grow in real time. The time-lapsed images are sped up so you can watch seedlings sprout, a morning glory climb up a trellis, bees pollinate flowers, or capture the sneaky garden gnome who mysteriously manages to be in a different spot in your garden every morning.
Housed in a weather resistant plastic case, the GardenWatch Cam blends into the garden so you won't even notice it's there. At the end of the season, you can download the images and play it back to watch your garden bloom all over again. Take a peek at some of these videos filmed with the GardenWatch Cam.
For bird watchers trying to catch a glimpse of visitors to your bird feeder, be sure to check out the BirdWatch Cam.

Herd notches victory over Savannah State
HUNTINGTON - In a holiday season in which the Marshall basketball team has been mired in ugly games, the Thundering Herd finally reached back and inflicted a larger dose of ugliness, at Savannah State's expense.
The Herd overcame an early eight-point deficit, 19 turnovers and another night of rough shooting to pull away from the Tigers 64-48. A crowd announced at 5,316 watched at Cam Henderson Center, as Marshall forced 16 turnovers held the visitors to 33.3 percent shooting and blanked them from the 3-point line.
Home fans groaned early, even emitting a boo or two, but coach Tom Herrion liked a lot of what he saw when his team didn't have the ball.
"That was as consistent of 40 minutes of defense that we've played all season, in my opinion, two halves," Herrion said. "We did a good job bottling them up, would have like to have stretched that rebound margin out a little bit [41-38]; we've got to continue to address that.
"Good win for our kids coming out of exams. They've had a great attitude, so I'm happy for them."
Marshall (7-5) hounded the Tigers with 1-2-2 and 2-2-1 variations of the press, aiming for turnovers, or at least to take away time in the halfcourt offense. That became easier to do when the Herd made more shots in the second half, 9 of 19 from the floor.
D.D. Scarver led the scoring with 18 points, hitting three 3-point goals in six tries. As is increasingly the case, his 3-pointers come at critical times and seem to turn momentum the Herd's way more forcefully.
Take the first half, for instance.
The Herd fell behind 14-6, starting the game 3 for 11 with four turnovers. It took to the halfway mark to tie the game at 16, and the game was knotted again at 18 with 8:04 to go.
Nigel Spikes made the first of two free throws, but missed the second. Dennis Tinnon fought for the rebound, tossed it out to Scarver, who fired it in from the arc.
The Tigers misfired on their next possession and Tinnon snagged another rebound and started the fast break. Scarver hit the brakes at the 3-point line, took the pass from Tinnon and canned it. All of a sudden, the Herd was up 25-18.
Scarver's last 3-pointer came toward the end of an 11-1 run, a six-minute stretch that could have been more devastating had the Herd not missed five free throws. Like his first one, it came off an offensive rebound of a missed free throw, this time by Spikes. Scarver faked once, slid along the arc and fired to give MU a 52-40 lead with 3:03 left.
"That's where the floor opened up - it was either off misses or against [Savannah's] pressure," Herrion said. "We made two great kickouts to him. We want him to shoot open shots.
"He's a deadly catch-and-shoot guy. When he puts it on the floor, I close my eyes, I cringe sometimes. He's into the Curly Neal thing, the Harlem Globetrotters, whirly-dirly dribble craze. But when he catches and his feet are set, he's as good as any in the country, in my opinion."
Savannah State, now 5-7 against a rough schedule, got no closer.
The Tigers had 63 shots to Marshall's 48 but only hit 21. They only got to the free-throw line 10 times, making six, and bricked all seven of their 3-point attempts.
Rashad Hassan led the Tigers with 11 points and eight rebounds, but he and Preston Blackman combined to go just 9 of 30 from the floor.
"I've got two fifth-year seniors that played like freshmen," said coach Horace Broadnax, referring to Hassan and Blackman.
Marshall's next game is no small matter - it's at Kentucky's Rupp Arena, at 4 p.m. Saturday.
Herrion kept his jacket on the full 40 minutes, which almost never happens. Usually, it's gone before the first media timeout and fans even take guesses on time of discarding.
But Herrion had a purpose Wednesday night. As a New England native and a father of a first-grader, the shootings in Newtown, Conn., hit him hard. His jacket was green, the official color of Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"It's on [Interstate] 84," Herrion said after a long pause to gather himself. "And I'd say, easily, 200-300 times I've driven through that town, that area, recruiting when I was a young coach in New England. With a 6-year-old son who will turn 7 right after Christmas, who's in the first grade . . ."
He paused again.
"Let's think about it this way: Those kids, boys and girls, were the same age as the kids that come to my camp. So it was my way of paying tribute, green is their color of their school. It's just a small way for me to pay homage to senseless, ridiculous, despicable slaughtering of all the people last Friday."
BRIEFLY: Kelvin Amayo will join the team today upon posting of his grades, which may or may not come in time for the Herd's practice. . . . Marshall's bench scored 15 points, and all four reserves played at least 11 minutes. Tamron Manning made his first career start at point guard, but Chris Martin played 25 minutes. . . . Marshall had 15 assists in its 20 baskets, from seven different people.
