Fast Floors With Structural Insulated Panels - Images 1-10
Using floor panels supported by engineered-lumber girders cuts production time on SIP houses.
In preparation for the SIP floor for this 8-by-16-foot sunroom addition, the crew fastens an LVL ledger beam to the edge of the conventionally framed main floor, leaving a shimmed space below the ledger to receive the bottom edge of the panel.
The crane's straps attach to a steel plate that's screwed directly to the SIP.
While the floor panel is suspended from the crane, one crew member drills holes at anchor-bolt locations while another applies adhesive sealant to the treated-wood sill.
Finally, the crane lowers the panel into place, where it will be nailed to the sill.
Larger and more complicated SIP floors need underfloor support. Parallam (shown) and LVL beams match up well with SIPs because of their engineered strength, limited shrinkage, and dimensional consistency
Placing an LVL beam
A pneumatic palm nailer helps for driving hanger nails into the hard engineered beams.
After the crane drops four 8-by-24-foot 12-inch-thick floor panels into position, the perimeters are nailed to the pressure-treated sill.
Panels are fastened to bearing beams with epoxy-coated self-tapping screws.
My company is a distributor for Insulspan structural insulated panels in New England and New York. Insulspan's Michigan factory ships 8-by-24-foot panel blanks to us, and we cut and reassemble the raw panels into complete precut SIP packages for builders and commercial contractors. We also have several field crews who set panels on site, because many of our customers don't have crews with SIP training and experience.
We try to transmit the lessons that our crews learn in the field to outside framers who are working with our panels and packages. With explanations and tech support from our shop personnel, any competent stick-framing crew should be able to build with SIPs just about as well as our crews can — and similar support is available from other SIP suppliers in our region and around the country.
Eventually, I hope to see builders all over our region learning to use SIPs and handling them as easily as they handle components in stick construction. In principle, the two methods are similar — SIPs are just like big, wide, flat pieces of lumber. They come in standard sizes, and you can cut them up and connect them together to make whatever you want. You can use most of the same tools and fasteners, and most of the same techniques. It takes only one or two jobs for a skilled stick-framing crew to get comfortable using SIP methods.
For this article, I'm going to focus on floor systems. SIPs work particularly well for certain specialized floor applications. They make a quick and easy floor for a small room addition or bump-out, and a cost-effective and satisfactory floor over a large unheated space, such as a garage with rooms above it. The rural New Hampshire house shown in the photos for this story has SIP walls and roof, SIP floors above the garage and in a small sunroom, and conventionally framed floors over the basement and between the first and second stories.
SIPs are not ideal for floors between stories inside a house. The insulation isn't required at that interior location, and SIPs can be rather noisy underfoot — they easily transmit the sound of upstairs footfalls to spaces below. That's why we frame the floor systems for our SIP houses with conventional methods, using engineered wood beams, wood I-joists, and OSB floor sheathing.
However, to shorten the site time for our road crews, we've started panelizing a lot of our floor systems in the shop, and setting the large floor sections on site with our crane. That helps us make the most of the on-site efficiency of SIP wall and roof construction; when we don't prebuild, framing floors on site is the one part of the job that takes us as long as it would take anyone else.
So, on these pages I'll cover SIP floor applications first; then I'll describe the way we panelize wood I-joist floor systems and the various methods of detailing SIP walls to support the loads imposed by stick-framed floors.
The floor of a small bump-out or room addition is one of the quickest and simplest uses of SIP technology. SIP blanks come 8 feet wide by 24 feet long, so we were able to cut this sunroom floor from a single panel. The floor panel bears on the foundation wall on three sides. Where it joins the floor frame of the main house, it attaches to an LVL ledger beam.
It's common practice for us to sleeve a beam or structural spline into a space routed out of the panel's foam. In this example, we placed the structural member first, and then slipped the panel edge over it. To do that, we had to remember to leave space for the panel's OSB skin between the LVL beam and the member below it. We typically use a 1/2-inch plywood shim to space the beam away from other framing, leaving just a tiny bit of extra room to slide in the 7/16-inch or 15/32-inch OSB. In this case, the panel was a tight fit on the beam, so the crew had to use come-alongs to pull it snugly into position.
The floor panel was 10 inches deep, for about an R-40 insulation value, but it wouldn't have to be that deep to make the 8-foot span. The rule of thumb for typical floor loads goes like this:
• 6-inch panels will span about 8 feet
• 8-inch panels will span 10 feet
• 10-inch panels will span 12 feet
These spans are achieved without structural splines. If you use 4-foot-wide lengths of panel with LVL members embedded in the joints, it's technically possible to achieve clear spans of as long as 24 feet. But when a design calls for long spans, we prefer to support panels from below with engineered beams, as we did for the floor over this house's garage. That's a simpler assembly to set up, and it's also more convenient to air-seal at the seams.
We lift the floor panels into place with the crane. Panel builders often lift panels using big steel hooks that they drive through the panel skin. We used to do that, but it's frowned upon these days because of the surface damage it does to the panel. So now we use a steel lifting plate, which we screw directly to the panel. The plate accepts 16 screws, enough for a strong attachment.
Once the floor is in place, its routed edge will be filled with an LVL rim joist. The LVL's structural capabilities aren't really needed in this location, but we use LVL because it's stable. Ordinary lumber would shrink away from the panel, creating gaps and potential air leaks.
Fast Floors With Structural Insulated Panels - Images 11-15
Prerouted grooves at panel edges receive 1/2-inch plywood splines, which the crew then staples at 4 inches on-center to stitch the panels together.
At the perimeter, carpenters install full-height LVL rim joists, using 2.5-inch pneumatic nails. The LVL perimeter members are overkill in structural terms, but sawn lumber would shrink away from the panels and compromise the integrity of the joints.
Where the plans call for a stepped-down entryway floor, a 6-inch panel is used to create the lower level. Here, the crew attaches an LVL ledger to the side of the main beam to catch the edges of the thinner panel.
The 12-inch floor panel was a tight fit and required some persuasion from a come-along.
The 6-inch entryway panel slides easily into place with no argument.
The classic SIP floor application is as an insulated lid for an unheated garage. This location is notoriously hard to insulate and air-seal in stick construction; with 12-inch SIPs, however, you can have a true R-48 floor with no thermal bypasses and virtually no leaks, after just a morning's work.
Official R-values, by the way, are measured under laboratory conditions at an ambient temperature of 75°F. One good thing about expanded polystyrene (EPS), the core material in SIPs, is that its R-value increases as the temperature decreases. At 75°F, EPS has an insulating value of R-3.85 per inch, but at 25°F, it's R-4.35 per inch. That's why I tell people the R-value of a 10-inch panel is "about R-40" and that of a 12-inch panel is "about R-48." At 75°F, it's really a little less, and at 25°F it's a little more — but who needs insulation at 75°F, anyway?
With fiberglass, it's the opposite: The colder it gets, the less actual insulating value fiberglass has. And the effect continues: When it's below zero outside, fiberglass loses even more of its rated value, whereas EPS gains value. Keep in mind that the floor over a garage in a cold state like New Hampshire is one of those places where effective R-value really matters. At -5°F with the wind blowing, your feet appreciate insulation that performs better when the weather gets colder.
Air-sealing matters, too, of course. The body of a structural insulated panel is airtight by nature, but joints and seams need attention. We seal every joint in the house with construction adhesive, expanding foam, or adhesive membrane tape. For a garage floor like this, we apply construction adhesive to the foundation sills before placing the panels; then, after all the structural connections are made, we inject expanding foam into the panel-to-panel joints.
We make the structural connection between adjoining floor panels by sliding splines into prerouted edge spaces and stitching the panels together with staples or 8d nails. Floor perimeters, as usual, get stuffed with LVLs (another spot where we apply construction adhesive). We fasten the panels down at the sills and at supporting beams with long, hardened-epoxy-coated screws (Trufast Corp., 800/443-9602, www.trufast.com).
One drawback to a SIP floor is that it has no framing voids where you can run wiring or mechanicals. In a garage, code officials may allow you to fasten Romex cable directly to the ceiling. If they don't, you may have to furr down the ceiling or build out a chase for the wires.

Ghouls and goblins, lend me your ears, as I tell you the story of all your Halloween fears.
Love Manor held there annual Halloween party this past Saturday and it was nothing short of excellent. Live swing jazz band, devilish treats, sinister cocktails, and the scene to the perfect haunted house. With all the spooks and scares there was only one group that could have kept us safe… The Southern California Ghostbusters!
You can check out Love Manor's invite/website here and here .
We couldn't have gotten to this spooktacular fest without proper transportation. And such a party requires nothing but the best. PARTY BUS!!!! Strobe lights! Slippery wood floors! Stripper pole! Champagne! Buck Range Light (generic beer?!)! AMAZINGNESS. (outside of our driver trying to swindle an extra tip from us)
Lets just say that this weekend was definitely one for the horror books.

Back at about segments and I waters world as you may know convicted terrorist Kathy -- and a member of the Weather Underground in the 1960s been hired.
The teacher Columbia university and that's controversial as this -- -- served 22 years in prison convicted of murder in the deaths of three Americans including two police officers.
So we said -- waters out to Columbia University define missed Modine.
And get reaction.
Have you heard of a professor called happy go -- She was just hired here she's convicted cop killer.
This really you know.
I did not know about that until just now I feel but that definitely pretty surprising.
I feel fantastic well I think it's a positive thing for someone to come and go through a situation where she's been -- -- make something positive out of it I think that's the scary trend that here with -- -- and Bernadette -- also being professors there are plenty of other qualified professionals beat her buses -- to be teaching of the next generation of leaders in this country I think she's obviously -- their time.
There's nothing more than -- give him you know gonna put a moral judgment on killing cops and how I'm not really you think that's wrong though right.
I think it's wrong to kill anyone.
They think it's part of academic freedom but she's a murder -- Jesus to forgive.
Figure forgiving guy -- at that flag and serve as a reason why we -- the professor hasn't reached out.
-- the victim's family.
I don't know there's a lot of healing going on I would suggest that may be that they have this dialogue in this conversation I don't think they should be better heard -- to be mad at the Justice Department.
It's the criminal justice system -- She did that time.
You say issues involved and -- yeah inside read countless stories of people involved and Tyson -- know -- but they are guilty of murder because there and Bob Knight accused the driver you're OK with that depends on if there's any claim about killing cops.
-- one of the officers involved.
Indy heights with Kathy -- can you describe the scene were looking for black individuals.
In the truck and we had some white people from within though we had the right truckers -- -- -- the fact of the truck are eligible very.
Something's wrong here.
As soon as I said that.
Six black males come out of the -- of the -- with the armed with automatic weapons officer brown was shot immediately.
I was -- O'Grady was shot while reloading his guns over the when it was pinned down inside that car.
The car was -- was.
Gunshots then someone rammed the police car now Kathy good he is a professor at Columbia University.
She give a speech last month where she never mentioned.
-- of the victims but she wished for the release of her -- -- how would also talk about the people that are still in prison and not hear people David Gilbert Judy Clarke.
Sickle Dina -- -- so many other people that aren't here we want them here with us.
How does that make you feel.
Very angry.
Okay family.
Considered to create hotel room -- -- -- the other way.
-- any of the victims' families.
-- yeah yeah yeah but.
-- Good luck go away okay -- here.
For Michael please but -- So your own private property we ask you.
Our quality as he leaves them cop killer but he's still -- we are qualities here right now to -- -- and I like the.
So little remorse for this crime and she's using the colleges of soap box.
To promote her mission to get her husband was 75 percentage and other co defendants bill.
-- now is Jesse -- Would you say -- and I think this is true most of the students at Columbia no -- right now they didn't know -- -- -- 7030.
-- -- supportive of her being a professor there but you had to explain what she did she -- didn't know Iraq jury didn't have any idea I wonder if there was an article in the Columbia University newspaper about her and what she had done we don't did you -- he -- -- in 2008 and you know there isn't this story broke wide open is because there's a movie about her now.
Often sell a lot of the students were really aware that we weren't aware of no we weren't even aware right it was under the radar right now do you believe she told you that she was sorry and then -- all that you believe it I don't believe it because she hasn't reached out to any of the victims' families.
No phone calls no letters she's listening teaching about rehabilitation.
When you and her back into society after your paroled.
But she hasn't really put her money where our mouth is no one's heard from her now and they're extremely upset.
And they feel like she's -- this opportunity.
To go out there and spout off about restorative justice applying for her cohorts to get Atlanta prison.
Well people who don't have a father.
They're still in pain tremendous absolutely.
All right Columbia university at perhaps the most liberal college in the country right now you know you know they are just what does everybody -- tip -- -- --

The National Republican Senatorial Committee issued a statement Wednesday clarifying its support for Rep. Todd Akin in the Missouri Senate race and suggesting it might spend money to help elect him, after saying a month ago that it would not do so.
"There is no question that for Missourians who believe we need to stop the reckless Washington spending, rein-in the role of government in people's lives, and finally focus on growing jobs in this country, that Todd Akin is a far more preferable candidate than liberal Sen. Claire McCaskill," NRSC executive director Rob Jesmer said. "As with every Republican Senate candidate, we hope Todd Akin wins in November, and we will continue to monitor this race closely in the days ahead."
The NRSC said after Akin's controversial comments about "legitimate rape" last month that it would not spend money on his behalf this fall. The hope at the time was that the threat would force Akin out of the race and Republicans could replace him with a more electable nominee.
It didn't work, though, and the deadline for Akin to exit the race passed Tuesday. That means he will now officially appear on the ballot and Republicans have to deal with the situation as it stands.
Asked to clarify whether it might spend money on Akin, the committee declined to comment, citing a desire not to broadcast its strategy.
Establishment Republicans generally believe that the race is lost, but polling has shown that Akin trails McCaskill only by single digits, and other Republicans have suggested they might still have a chance to win the seat.
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), for example, jumped on board with Akin on Wednesday and has encouraged his party to do the same. Newt Gingrich has also raised money for Akin.
Other Republicans have clarified that they support Akin, including Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), who had been charged with trying to get him out of the race.
But while people like Blunt publicly tried to push Akin out, national Republicans took it a step further in saying they wouldn't spend money to elect him. And what Akin needs right now is — you guessed it — money.
DeMint's backing, in particular, put the national GOP in a tough spot. Wednesday's statement clarifies their position somewhat, but questions will persist about whether the NRSC would jump in if the race wound up being close.
That's a big "if," though. Even as Akin has stayed close in the polls, Democrats have largely held their fire over the last month in hopes of keeping him in the race. The emerging onslaught against Akin — which his campaign will struggle to compete with financially — could certainly move the polls more in Democrats' favor.
Democrats said Wednesday that the move shows Republicans were bluffing when the threatened to pull funding from the race.
"No one should've been fooled by the Republican party's faux outrage and their ensuing change of course, because as the Republican establishment is making clear today, the Akin backlash was never about principle, it was purely about politics," said Shripal Shah, a spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee

Abstract: Background: Substance use among youth is a worldwide epidemic that impacts negatively on the health sector as well as the family and society. Early student life is a time of tremendously high motivation to conform to the behaviours, values, and attitudes that are valued by the youth culture. They observe their peers' behavior and alter their own behaviour with their peers' norms and expectations. This compliance with perceived peer norms can however lead to increased smoking, alcohol and drug use. Objectives: To determine and analyze risky and health promoting behaviour of health science students at a university in the Western Cape, South Africa. In this paper the association between actual risk and perceived risk for substance is discussed. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire containing items from both the NCHRBS and the ACHA-NCHA were administered to 201 health science students at a South African university. Results: When perceptions of typical student behaviour were compared to actual reported behaviour, overestimated consumption patterns for the typical student was found for smoking, alcohol and drug use. Conclusion: The misperceptions of peer norms have important educational or prevention program implications. These findings clearly indicate that educational and awareness programs regarding alcohol and drug use should take perceptions of peer alcohol and drug use into consideration.

Abstract: Background: According to the World Health Organization global alcohol consumption has increased in recent decades, with most of this increase occurring in developing countries. Added to this is the concern of the increased social acceptability of alcohol use and the widespread experimentation with alcohol during adolescence. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to better understand health risk behaviours, specifically alcohol use, among black female high school learners in a designated research locale of a local community in the Western Cape, South Africa. Study design: The method of inquiry in this study was a mixed methods sequential explanatory strategy. Results: A lifetime prevalence of alcohol use was reported by 57.8% of the study sample. All the participants agreed that drinking has a negative influence on adolescent health. Conclusion: Alcohol use in South Africa is an ever-increasing health problem and the current study provides evidence that the prevalence of this behaviour remains a public health concern.

Abstract: Introduction: This paper presents HIV/AIDS experiences of elderly persons in Uganda as revealed by an ongoing descriptive cross-sectional study covering eight districts, namely: Pallisa, Kampala, Jinja, Lira, Nebbi, Ntungamo, Luwero and Mbarara. These districts represent both the rural and urban areas of the four regions of Uganda, including: Western, Northern, Eastern and Central region. Methods: The study employed a mixed method approach using a sequential exploratory strategy. Data was collected using not only focus group discussions and in-depth interviews held with 165 elderly persons but also a validated interview schedule administered to 50 key informants. Elderly persons participated in the study by providing data on their HIV/AIDS-related experiences. Key respondents were selected to provide data on strategies that could be adopted to curb the effects of the epidemic. This paper is based on one of the study's objectives, which focussed on exploring the effects of HIV/AIDS on Uganda's elderly people; coping mechanisms used to deal with HIV/AIDS; and strategies for curbing its effects. Data was analysed using content analysis and the descriptive method of SPSS. Results: Results show that HIV/AIDS affected most of the elderly people in Uganda by killing their children and spouses, and leaving them with a big burden of taking care of AIDS orphans; yet majority of these people were financially too incapacitated to shoulder it amply. HIV/AIDS also infected the elderly people. The epidemic introduced the need for ARVs and other health services that elderly people found too difficult to access due to poor health service delivery systems in Uganda. Most elderly people used food cultivation as a mechanism for coping with the burden of orphans. These results lead to recommending that government should economically empower elderly people through formulation and effective implementation of welfare policies regarding pension and special fund for these people. Conclusion: There is a need for the government to provide adequate and free HIV/AIDS-related health services and also increase educational support for HIV/AIDS orphans.

Abstract: Background: The size of the elderly population both in numbers and proportions of the whole world is increasing rapidly. The increase in the number of elderly people in the world will exert a big impact on health and social services. It is established that physical activity is one way of limiting age related disabilities. Objectives: This study aims to asses the levels of physical activity and the factors associated with it among older adults in selected institutions for the elderly in the Southern Province of Rwanda. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at 2 institutions for older adults in Rwanda. An interview questionnaire with close-ended questions was used to collect data. Results: More than one-third of the study sample was categorized as sedentary. Physical activity levels decrease with age. Females reported higher prevalence of physical activity than males. Conclusion: Older adults should be encouraged to engage in physical activity to gain the physical and mental health benefits associated with it.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Although the health benefits of physical activity have been proven, many children and adolescents still do not meet the recommended guidelines for sufficient physical activity. The purpose of this investigation was thus to examine the levels of PA, and learners perception of support from teachers, family and friends at an independent school in the Western Cape. Furthermore, the investigation aimed to examine the influence of social support on physical activity. METHOD: A cross-sectional design using quantitative methods was used in this study, which included 100 learners in the senior phase of the school (i.e. grades 5 to 7). The data was obtained with a self-admininstered questionnaire. The data was analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.0. The Chi-square test was used to explore associations between nominal and numerical data. The T-test was used to determine statistical significance between groups (independent t-tests) and within groups (paired sample t-test). RESULTS: Overall the sample responded positively when asked about support for physical activity from teachers. Furthermore, the study sample had a positive perception of both physical education (PE) and physical activity (PA) enjoyment. Boys participated in vigorous physical activity significantly more regularly than girls. CONCLUSION: As children are spending a considerable time at school, teachers, friends and parents should be encouraged to be supportive of their participation in physical activity.

Abstract: The impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic is mostly felt by adolescents as half of all new HIV/AIDS infections have occurred in people aged 15-24 years. Statistics show that campaigns implemented by the South African government have failed to bring about positive behavioural change among young people. The aim of this study was to determine the HIV/AIDS-related knowledge among students at a college and the association between knowledge, self-efficacy, self-concept in sexual practices. This study was conducted at a Further Education and Training College in Cape Town. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires consisting of five sections including demographic information; sexual practices; knowledge of HIV/AIDS, levels of self-efficacy; and self-concept. Fifty four percent of the participants indicated no condom use when having sex, either by themselves or by a partner; 43% indicated that they had more than 2 sexual partners in the 12 months prior to the study. The odds that a person with higher HIV/AIDS knowledge will use a condom were 1.047 times greater than someone with less HIV/AIDS knowledge. The odd's ratio for self-efficacy indicates a positive relationship with the number of partners of an individual. The findings of the present study suggest adequate/high HIV/AIDS knowledge among the study sample. The study further highlights that for males, there is a greater likelihood that lower self-efficacy would predict more sexual partners in comparison to females. The results further suggest that although governmental organisations' efforts improved knowledge of HIV/AIDS, programmes avidly promoting self-efficacy for males should be implemented.

Abstract: A growing shift towards research and evidence based practice in academia is associated with requirements to disseminate research results in the form of publication in peer reviewed journals. Mentoring has been identified as an important component of developing young authors, as it increases confidence and competence, and facilitates professional development. This led to the formation of a support group to stimulate peer-review publication in the physiotherapy department at the University of the Western Cape. The Kirkpatrick Framework of Evaluation was used to evaluate the success of the mentoring process which made use of a participatory action research methodology. The writing group consisted of nine academic members of staff and took place over ten weeks. The programme included writing, giving feedback, discussion and peer review on a weekly basis. Focus group discussions were taped and transcribed in order to evaluate the mentoring process by identifying relationships within the data and categorising key concepts, which were shaped into a thematic framework. The findings indicated that participants experienced a variety of emotions throughout the programme, with an overall feeling of personal growth by the end. In addition, participants also reported improved writing, reviewing and communication skills. Six months following the programme, six participants had submitted at least one article to a peer reviewed journal. It is clear from this study that some academics still find the task of writing and reviewing articles daunting, and that guidance and support in the form of a writing programme can be useful.

Abstract: Introduction: There is mounting evidence of the health risk behaviours that adolescents are involved in on a daily basis. Local and national governments have advocated for intervention programmes to prevent an increase in the health risk behaviours among young people. In order to introduce effective prevention strategies, evaluation of the current situation is needed. The University of the Western Cape, identified Youth Wellness as one of the niche areas for research. Aim: This paper aims to synthesize the studies on youth wellness conducted at the University of the Western Cape. Findings: The studies conducted included epidemiological studies and intervention studies. Studies used both qualitative and quantitative designs. Most of the studies highlighted the need for intervention programmes at various levels such as personal (individual), community and policy. Conclusion: The findings of the research clearly highlights the need for researchers at UWC to identify appropriate criteria by which to measure the desired intervention outcomes.

Beeshop is the alone project pop sung in English of Lucas Silveira, that also is vocalista and guitarist of the Fresno band. Beeshop is in its acoustic majority and with histories on emotions and feelings being counted in the letters. All instruments had been recorded for the Lucas. Musics have great influences of the bands: Copeland and Dashboard Confessional of which until it makes covers.
Beeshop - Mr Confusion
In the beginning (at 12/04/1999 probably), this band was known as "Os Democratas", but another band was already called that. Without a name for the band, Lucas (lead singer, guitar) heard the name FRESNO on ESPN and liked it. Since then, the band has been called Fresno. Friends since high school, Lucas Silveira (lead singer and guitar), Gustavo Mantovani (guitar), Bruno Teixera (bass) and Pedro Cupertino (Drums) started to have their songs noticed through the Internet. Orginally, they recorded songs with only a guitar and vocals into a computar mic and released the songs on the Internet for anyone to download.
Already making shows all around the country, in 2006 the band recorded their third record, "Ciano". Still independents, their first single Play Quebre as Correntes was widely played on radios, as well as staying on the MTV Brazil top ten (Disk MTV) for weeks. This CD contained re-recordings of three songs from the first CD. (Play Teu Semblante, Play Stonehenge and Play Sono Profundo).

The Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL - Tierra Ruffin-Pratt briefly let Maryland's best 3-point shooter get away from her. She recovered in time to prevent a sure-thing victory from slipping away.
Ruffin-Pratt scored 13 points and blocked a 3-pointer in the final seconds of No. 15 North Carolina's 60-57 victory over No. 8 Maryland on Thursday night.
Brittany Rountree also had 13 points and Waltiea Rolle added 12 for North Carolina (14-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), which blew most of an 11-point second-half lead and was just 1 of 7 from the free-throw line in the final minute but won its seventh straight and first in the series since 2010.
"We're excited because it really shouldn't even have been that close," coach Sylvia Hatchell said. "These guys really played hard, and they really played tough down the stretch."
Alyssa Thomas scored 11 of her 15 points in the final 5 1/2
"I thought we showed a lot of heart and character in that we never quit," Terrapins coach Brenda Frese said. "There was a lot of fight in us."
Danielle Butts hit a free throw with 10.9 seconds left for North Carolina. Teammate Krista Gross chased down her miss and was fouled but missed two free throws with 9.3 seconds left to give Maryland one last chance.
The Terps worked the ball to Katie Rutan - who entered with a team-best 20 3s - in the corner, but Ruffin-Pratt soared in to block her 3 into the stands with 1.6 seconds left.
After a timeout, Maryland got the ball to Rutan deep on the right wing, but with Ruffin-Pratt in her face, her 3 attempt at the buzzer bounced off the rim.
"I actually lost (Rutan) at the end on that last block. She ran baseline and I didn't see her, so I just ran as fast as I could and blocked the shot. She got that last 3 up. I was just praying that it didn't go in. I contested it, but she shouldn't have caught it from the beginning."
Tianna Hawkins - who averages an ACC-best 18.8 points per game - finished with 23 points and 13 rebounds, but had just six points in the second half on 2-of-8 shooting for Maryland, which had its six-game winning streak snapped.
Thomas, the ACC's player of the year last season, added 16 rebounds - 12 on the defensive end - and almost single-handedly willed the Terrapins back from an 11-point deficit down the stretch.
Maryland, which led by 10 in the first half, shot just 23.5 percent in the second half - mainly because the Terps missed their first 10 shots of the half.
"Just us coming out, not being focused," Thomas said. "Coach prepared us (that) they were going to jump out on us, pressure us, but we didn't respond."
North Carolina came out of the locker room with a 17-1 run that erased a six-point halftime deficit, gave them the lead for good and put them up by double figures. Latifah Coleman's 3-pointer from the right corner capped that spurt and gave the Tar Heels their first double-figure lead, 46-36.
It grew to 53-42 on Xylina McDaniel's three-point play with 6:59 to go.
But Black's layup with 1:49 left - which made it 59-49 - was the Tar Heels' final field goal. Three times in the final minute, North Carolina missed the front end of a one-and-one.
"We're going to get better on it. I promise you," Hatchell said. "We got to the line, but we've got to knock those down."
That gave Thomas a glimmer of hope. She hit a runner, two layups and three free throws before her late drive made it a two-point game.
No. 3 Duke 67, N.C. State 57 - In Raleigh, Haley Peters had 18 points and 11 rebounds to help Duke beat N.C. State.
Chelsea Gray added 20 points and six rebounds for the Blue Devils (12-0, 2-0 ACC), who had to fight into the final minutes to put away the Wolfpack.
Duke led by just one with 8 minutes left before going on a 12-3 spurt, with Peters scoring on an offensive rebound and knocking down a 3-pointer during that flurry.
That helped the Blue Devils retake control and build a 10-point lead with 3:18 left, and then hold on down the stretch.
The Wolfpack (8-6, 0-2) kept fighting and pulled as close as four points in the final minute, but never could make up that deficit.
Gray also got active during the run, repeatedly getting to the line and knocking down all eight of her free throws in the final 8 minutes.
Kody Burke scored 11 of her 15 points after halftime to lead N.C. State, which shot just 32 percent. Marissa Kastanek added 12 points and was the only other Wolfpack player to reach double figures.
Duke didn't fare much better, shooting just 39 percent with only Peters made better than half her shots.
But the Blue Devils helped themselves by grabbing 19 offensive rebounds, which led to 13 second-chance points.
After N.C. State closed within 61-57 with 47.6 seconds left, Duke scored the game's last six points - all coming at the free-throw line.
The Blue Devils made 16 of 20 free throws after halftime compared to a 6-for-9 performance by the Wolfpack.
Duke has won eight straight meetings in Raleigh, though this was the Blue Devils' first since rallying from a 20-point second-half deficit to win 65-64 on Gray's last-second basket nearly two years ago.
But the Wolfpack had earned the program's first win against the Blue Devils in five years in March during the ACC tournament.
In that game, N.C. State held on for a 75-73 quarterfinal win against the then-No. 5 Blue Devils, marking the first time in tournament history that the No. 1 seed had failed to reach the semifinals.
Campbell 64, Coastal Carolina 54 - In Buies Creek, Campbell team returned to its Big South schedule with a victory. Freshman guard Zena Lovette led the team with 11 points as the remaining four starters each scored eight or more.
Coach Wanda Watkins notched her 250th conference win in her 32nd season combining the Camels' league wins in the Big South (92-33) and Atlantic Sun (157-161). Campbell improved to 2-0 in the Big South and 10-2 overall, while Coastal Carolina fell to 6-7 and 1-2 in league play
The Camels shot 40.7 percent for the game and set a season best by compiling a 55.5 percentage from 3-point range. Lovette drilled a team-high two threes.
A trio of Campbell players registered nine points in senior guard Tonisha Baker, junior forward Ashley James and junior guard Monique Spry, while sophomore Kiera Gaines contributed eight. Spry also surpassed a season-high by adding seven rebounds.
Campbell was very effective in transition, scoring 29 points off of 20 Chanticleer turnovers, including 16 points on the break.
Coastal Carolina became just the fourth team to out-rebound the Lady Camels, 48-36, and Katelyn Conner led the squad with 11 boards. The Chanticleers were paced by AJ Jordan with 13 points.
Fayetteville State 52, Chowan 37 - In Murfreesboro, Fayetteville State opened CIAA play with a victory over Chowan. Kristen Hanzer and E.E. Smith High School alum Shuanda Ashford combined for 34 points as the Broncos improved to 9-2 overall.
Hanzer finished with a game-high 18 points, while Ashford added 16 as FSU held the Hawks (0-10, 0-2) to their second-lowest point total of the season.
Talaya Lynch led Chowan (0-10, 0-2) with 15 points and was the only Hawk to finish in double-figures. No other Chowan player scored more than five points.
The Broncos held the Hawks to 5-of-26 (19.2 percent) shooting in the first half. FSU shot 46.2 percent (12-of-26) overall as it led by as much as 18 points at 29-11. Hanzer paced the Fayetteville State offense in the first half with 11 points.
Ashford extended Fayetteville State's lead to a game-high 21 points on a layup with 6:26 left in the game. The reigning CIAA Newcomer of the Week had 10 points in the second half after going a perfect 4-for-4 at the free-throw line.
FSU finished the contest with a shooting percentage of 35.8 (19-of-53) and had an advantage of 18-8 in points in the paint. Chowan shot 22.9 percent (11-of-48) as a team.
Georgia College 55, UNC-Pembroke 41 - In Milledgeville, Ga., Georgia College connected on 10 of 28 3-pointers to notch a victory over UNCP in Peach Belt Conference action.
Despite staying neck-and-neck with the Bobcats (7-3, 3-0) in rebounding, turnovers and steals, the Braves (6-6, 0-3) struggled offensively, shooting 30.4 percent from the field.
Sophomore Kierra Haney led UNCP with 13 points, while senior Amelia Partin added 11. Forward Jazmine Kemp (East Bladen High School) pulled down 11 rebounds - including eight defensive.
More than 12 minutes into the first half, both teams combined for just nine points as the Bobcats held a five-point lead, 7-2.
The Braves fought back to tie the game for the first time at the 4:59 mark as Jasmine Hairston connected on a layup and added an extra point for the 3-point play.
The Braves entered halftime down by eight points, 26-18, but cut the deficit on Partin's only 3-pointer of the game. Georgia College extended the lead to 20 points in the second half on a 17-2 run within a span of seven minutes and held UNCP to four points in the final 5:17 of action.
"We played poorly offensively and didn't make shots," said UNCP head coach John Haskins. "It was a disappointing loss, but Georgia College play extremely well. We will now have to regroup and work on a few things to get ready for our next game."
UNCP registered 18 points in the paint compared to Georgia College's 12. The Bobcats shot 37.3 percent from the field and 63.6 percent from the foul line. UNCP totaled one less turnover in spite of being out-rebounded by two.
Shanteona Keys led the offensive charge with a team-best 12 points, while Enisha Donley, Brandi McKinney and Krysta Lewis each added 10 points.
Milligan 84, St. Andrews 57 - In Laurinburg, senior forward Kimayah Fulcher scored 14 points to the Knights (3-9, 1-2 AAC).
Fayetteville State 81, Chowan 75 (OT) - In Murfreesboro, Jack Britt High School alum Louis Craft scored a personal-best 19 points as the Broncos pushed their winning streak to five.
Fayetteville State (6-4, 1-0 CIAA) rallied from eight points down with 9:43 left to take a 67-62 lead. The Hawks' Greg Alston sent the game into overtime on his 3-pointer with one second left in regulation. FSU outscored Chowan in overtime 11-5 as Craft scored the team's first four points.
Craft, the reigning CIAA Newcomer of the Week, surpassed his previous career-best performance by one point. He pulled down eight rebounds and was one of four Broncos to tally double-digit points. Anthony Shelton scored 18, while Tyrrel Tate added 17. Seth Hawkins scored 10 points off the bench, shooting 3-for-5 from behind the arc.
The game was tied seven times throughout the opening half as Fayetteville State shot 42.3 percent (11-of-26) from the field and Chowan made 13-of-26 (50.0 percent).
Shelton led the second half with 10 points as the Broncos posted a 51.7 percent (15-of-29) shooting percentage from the field.
Ashante Ross cut the Hawks' deficit to one in overtime but Tate put the game away after his 3-pointer with less than a minute remaining.
Georgia College 63, UNC-Pembroke 61 - In Milledgeville, Ga., Scott Ferguson's old-fashioned 3-point play with five seconds left gave Georgia College the lead and the Bobcats benefitted from an unforced turnover on the other end of the court en route to a win over UNCP.
The setback marked just the second loss in the last nine outings for UNCP (8-5, 1-2 PBC) who fell to 0-3 in true road contests this season.
Georgia College (6-4, 2-1) won for the 26th time in the last 28 meetings with the Braves, including 13-straight wins over UNCP in Milledgeville.
Redshirt freshman Brandon Winford scored a team-best 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds to pace the Braves, who also got a dozen points from Shahmel Brackett and 10 more from Griffin Pittman. Ferguson registered a game-best 28 points for the Bobcats, while Nate Hamilton chipped in 12 of his own.
UNCP, the nation's seventh-best team in terms of rebounding margin, owned the boards (39-31) for the ninth-straight game and the 11th time this season, but scored all 17 of its second chance points in the first half. Georgia College canned twice as many (6) 3-pointers as the visitors in the contest and benefitted greatly from an 11-of-15 success rate from the charity stripe.
The Bobcats scored nine-straight points midway through the second half to take their biggest lead of the game, 56-50, on Ferguson's 3-pointer with 6:43 remaining, but UNCP answered with a 9-2 run a minute later to eventually take a 61-60 advantage on Brackett's layup with 94 seconds left. Aaron Robinson missed an easy layup with nine seconds left, but got the benefit of a scuffle on the floor for the loose rebound, as well as a timely time out by the bench. Ferguson's fall away shot four seconds later hit nothing but net and the senior followed with the bonus free throw to provide the final.
The Braves scored 17 points off of nine turnovers by the hosts in the opening half and scored the last nine points of the stanza to take a 32-28 advantage into the break. Georgia College had used an 11-4 run over a three-minute span to take a 28-23 advantage following three free throws by Hamilton at the 4:23 mark before the scoring spurt by the visitors.
UNCP will open up a three-game home stand on Saturday when the Braves suit up to entertain 12th-ranked and PBC East-leading Augusta State (7-2, 3-0) in the back half of a 5:30 p.m. basketball doubleheader in the English E. Jones Center.
Milligan 82, St. Andrews 60 - In Laurinburg, Chris Orr scored 13 points to lead St. Andrews (0-11, 0-3 Appalachian Athletic Conference).

State of the Arts
A few weeks ago, kung-fu adventure The Forbidden Kingdom, scripted by Morristown's John Fusco, conquered the opening-weekend box office and gave moviegoers an early taste of summer fun fare. Now comes Marvel Studios' Iron Man, which ushers in the new season of warm-weather action with a huge coast-to-coast release this Thursday evening.
Iron Man is a superhero movie — but it's not a typical superhero movie, says Hawk Ostby of South Burlington, who co-wrote the screenplay for the $135 million film directed by Swingers star Jon Favreau. For one thing, said superhero is played by Robert Downey Jr., best known for his intense Method acting and drug busts. Speaking on the phone from the airport — he's on a press tour — Ostby admits the casting was unexpected. But "as soon as I met [Downey], it became the obvious choice."
The Iron Man character is a Howard Hughes-like billionaire weapon designer who discovers his calling late in life, when he constructs a set of armor that's ideal for fighting bad guys. "He's an interesting character in that he's far less than perfect," Ostby says. "He has no superpowers. It's really about a guy who's looking for his heart."
A cult favorite, the Iron Man comic books have been in some sort of movie development since 1990. Ostby and his L.A.-based writing partner Mark Fergus "knew the comic, but we weren't rabid fans," he says. They were, however, experienced adaptors who received a 2006 Oscar nom for their work translating the novel Children of Men to the screen.
On Iron Man, Ostby and Fergus worked in parallel with another pair of writers: "We wrote two separate drafts, and Jon [Favreau] cherry-picked and brought a new draft out of that," he explains. More collective brainstorming and rewrites followed. When shooting started last March, Ostby and Fergus spent plenty of time on the set. "It was an awesome experience — for a writer to have that access is so unusual," Ostby says.
Right now, Ostby and his wife Monica are headed for the movie's L.A. red-carpet premiere on April 30. What's next for the writer and his collaborator, who brought out their own indie drama First Snow last year?

Police were not linking the explosion to terrorism, but said they were treating the child's death as "suspicious."
Superintendent Neil Evans said detectives were looking into reports of a domestic disturbance in the area the night before the explosion.
Fire service spokesman Dean Nankivell said firefighters were looking at a variety of possible causes for the blast, but "gas is definitely a strong contender."
The National Grid utilities company said residents had complained of a smell of gas before the blast.
The explosion left a pile of rubble where the row house had stood in the town of Oldham, 160 miles (260 kilometers) northwest of London, and damaged two other houses beyond repair.
Greater Manchester Police said the injured man was taken to a nearby hospital with serious burns. He was in serious but stable condition Tuesday.
Firefighters searched the rubble amid fears more people could be trapped, but found no one.
The National Grid said five houses were damaged and 100 homes evacuated after the blast.

Mile High Steak & Seafood
Online Reservations
Special occasions at this restaurant are never a disappointment. Friendly staff + the best steaks in the Philadelphia area. Mero Sea Bass is amazing!! Chef's specials deserve a Culinary Oscar!
The best, juicy, tender steaks in the Philadelphia area!! Can't match the quality of the seafood and steaks at this local gem. We love the service too - friendly, courteous, and welcoming. Desserts are also outstanding--Chocolate Lava Cake (w/warm caramel sauce inside) & White Chocolate Raspberry Pie are heaven!
food was very good, outstanding service , plenty of parking and easy to get to.
Everyone's favorite server, Mary Ellen, makes an excellent meal even better.
Nothing in the Philadelphia area comes close to the quality of steaks & seafood, service & atmosphere of this easy-to-miss hidden gem in Glen Mills, PA. We are so glad we found this neighborhood gem, having tried all the "big name" steakhouses in the area. You can go to Philly, King of Prussia, Wilmington, Chadds Ford - none compare to Mile High. We love the staff & the food (desserts are also delectable...if you have room after a wonderful meal!).
Terrific meal, as always. One of these days, I simply must try something besides steak here, because they have an interesting overall menu. However, the steaks are so good, that I always succumb. This time it was filet for my wife and NY strip for me - both outstanding. Best in the suburbs.
Second visit. Never disappointing. The lobster was sweet and tender! Great bar drinks and service at the bar and in dining room.
This is a amazing place to eat. The food is amazing and worth every dollar. I get steak every time we go and my wife gets either steak or one of the specials. Last time she had veal and with every bite said how great it tasted. It is pricy but it is a steak house and is worth every penny that you pay. Make sure to watch out for the BOGO deals on meals and on gift cards at Christmas time.
Love this restaurant. The food is delicious and plentiful. Service is terrific.
We have eaten at this restaurant for well over 2 years now and have NEVER been disappointed with the service or the food. Steaks are always prepared they way we ordered and the seafood is always very fresh. Expensive, YES, but worth it.
Apparently the restaurant was under- staffed the night we went. The service for our main course was very slow. The steaks, also tasty, were overcooked -as if they had been sitting too long. They were not the usual piping hot.
The food here, although expensive, is exceptional! It is a long distance from where we live, so we only go for special occasions. We met 36 years ago nearby, so we went to commemorate the day we met.
We had tasty asparagus soup with crabmeat, iced sorbet for a palate-cleanser, nice assortment of bread with special apricot butter, beautifully-prepared filet and Delmonico steaks, a side order of mushrooms, and prompt service. Not sure what else we could have wanted. Our choice for steak in the suburbs!!
Food was delicious. Service was very attentive. Would highly recommend to anyone for a truly great dining experience.
Were there on Tuesday night. Food drinks wine were, as always, very good. The BOGOF entree special is a great value. Just wish that they had a few more non-seafood appetizers (they have in the past) for those of us who can't eat seafood or don't like it.
This place has some of the best steak you will ever eat. It is worth the cost of the dinner. They have great specials at different times of the year also. Make sure to check their web site for BOGO deals and deals on their gift cards around Christmas time. I highly recommend this place.
My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we wanted to try Mile High Steak and Seafood. We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and felt the food was top notch. Server was also attentive and had some good wine suggestions when we asked about the selection. We would recommend this to our friends.
We always enjoy their food. Kudos to the chef. Good drinks, as well. Just be prepared to spend a lot. It's very expensive.
A great steak restaurant! However very pricey. the ambience does not compare to Sullivans. It is a very nice local restaurant. the special deals offered on gift cards allow the experience to be within range.
Enjoyed this place alot! We are regulars at sullivans and steaks here are equivalent. Other menu items are at least as good, and seafood selections are better than sullivans
We had a pleasant dinner. Food and service was excellent. Noise in dining areas is moderate. Decor is very modest and somewhat dark. Good place for a good steak or seafood dish. Will give back again.
Great spot for out of town visitors. It felt like an elegant, private dining experience from the curb through after dinner coffee. Three of us, each ordered a different beef item ...all were amazing, prepared to perfection. Wait staff was very well trained, knowledgable, helpful yet not overbearing. Great spot for special occasion dining.
We have been to Mile High Several times in the last 2 years and always find the food, service and atmosphere to be excellent. The menu is diverse, but mainstream enough that even older children will find something they like. We have alway left feeling full and happy with the experience.
This was our first time there and myself and my wife went for our anniversary. We were pleased with the service and food.
We love Mile High, and head here whenever we crave a nice steak or seafood dinner for a reasonable price. Their weekday specials are awesome, and you can bring your own bottle of wine if you wish. Petite filets were done to perfection, and the lobster tail that came with it (currently a freebie on Wednesday and Thursday) was also delicious. The arugula salad was excellent, but the Caesar was a bit over-dressed. Still tasty, but I couldn't eat some of the lettuce that had too much dressing. Apple dessert was wonderful. There were lots of apples that seemed fresh and naturally sweet. We'll be back!
I made reservations at the Mile High Steak House for my for my parents to meet my girlfriend for the first time. So it was definetly a special occassion. The atmosphere was perfect, the food was excellent and the service couldnt be any better. And everything turned out great!
The food is always delicious and fresh! I have never been disappointed with the service.
This has been my third time here was recommended by a friend was very impressed the first time I came . The experience has been the same each time the staff is excellent & the food is delicious. Will be back again. Lamb was very good & the crab cakes have very little filler so would recommend it
I enjoyed one of the best ribeye steaks that I have ever had! Delicious food.
went there for my anniversary and couldn't have been happier. food and service was incredible would have given more stars if I could. our waitress Cecilia was perfect would recommend to anyone and will most def be goin back
This is absolutely one of the best restaurants in Delaware County, PA! I have been here more times than I can count and never have had a bad meal. The service is impeccable, the food is divine, and they are terrific with food allergies. Best filet, crabcakes, crab imperial, and desserts!
The food is impeccable at Mile High. There is only one thing better than the food there...the service.
My fiancé and I dined here on a Friday night. We were celebrating a year out from the wedding. I made a note of this in the reservation. Our server was very friendly and got our drinks to us right away. He informed us of the specials and we went with the lobster shrimp and toast points special that night. I had the king salmon and my fiancé had the New York strip. All the food came out beautifully played and was delicious. Seriously the best salmon I've ever had. We ordered the cheesecake for dessert and the server wrote "365 days to go" on the plate which was a really nice touch and capped off an excellent experience. We will definitely be back for special occasions!
Suggest for couples and parties looknig for good food, great atmosphere, in your own backyard.
Our group's steaks/filets were done to perfection and deliciously, perfectly seasonsed. Side dishes were delicious too. Our server was wonderful and very attentive. Great wine list. Atmosphere was lovely, relaxing, but not stuffy. Although it was a bit pricey, it was well worth every penny. Will definitely dine here again!
We took friends there for dinner and it was absolutely delicious. The service was great. It was the first time our friends have dined at Mile High and now they can't wait to bring their parents there for dinner. I am also looking forward to my next visit.
Our first time to this restaurant. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Starting with a lobster bisque that was both rich and deliciously flavorful. I had a medium rare filet that was cooked to perfection and disappeared in my mouth. My wife's medium rare rib eye though tasty was a bit overcooked. Somewhat unexpected for a restaurant of this caliper. The staff was excellent being attentive and quite helpful in making dining choices. My only complaint was the noise level. From checking the menu on line before making a reservation I expected not only a fine meal but a somewhat elegant night out. Though the decor of the restaurant is excellent the ambience and general noise levels fell below my expectations.
We returned to Mile High and decided to bring friends for a nice dinner. Our friends were impressed and pleased with the atmosphere and high quality of the food and service. We had a lovely time,and will return again.
By far, one of my favorite restaurants in Delaware County.....maybe the top! It's nice not to have to go into Philadelphia to get a good steak. I brought my girlfriend here this time for her birthday. She loved everything, especially the Bread Pudding. My filet was perfectly cooked. THANK YOU !!! See you again soon.
Very good food and service. Have been eating there since they opened up.
Went with my husband for an anniversary and was pleased, but the noise level was a bit much for me, but I did love the feeling from the decor. Service was good, but when we needed a few minutes to decide it seemed we were put on the back burner. The 6oz filet was fantastic and cooked perfectly, but the sides with that dish could have been better. Plain fresh green beans, which I do love, but I would think here you would dress it up slightly. Also the mashed potatoes had a weird aftertaste for me.(I feel like its just from the water used for prep). My husband got the beef and reef. I tried his hangar steak and though the flavor wasn't necessarily bad, it's too chewy a steak. He said the crab imperial was amazing, came with plain asparagus.
Great service and food!!! Never rush us out! Cinnamon ice cream was fabulous!
Every detail of our meal was paid close attention to and we loved every bite!!!
Great place to go if you want a great meal. Took my wife for a night out and we were blown away by the food and overall experience. Great portions and well worth the money.
Everything was good at this restaurant except for one thing. The table we sat at was next to an exterior door. I had a draft on my back through the whole dinner. My solution was to eat dinner wearing my winter coat. Otherwise the food was great, service was awesome, ambiance was OK. Expect to pay a high price for great food. Our steaks were cooked to perfection.
Everything was great! Consider opening for lunch would be great. The only great place around is Masamotos on 202. Styers is VERY inconsistent in the quality of their food and not inexpensive. Also, the help gets stranger and stranger looking. Sometimes I think it's just for effect. Thank you.
Always a great dining experience. Food was great outstanding steak and seafood , service with Cecilia Was Outstanding
Came w a larger group this time and everyone enjoyed the food tremendously.
Lovely setting for such a festive occasion Special menu for the day was fabuloud
Once again, Mile High delights. From the signature martinis to the mushrooms stuffed with sausage to the turkey with stuffing, the Thanksgiving dinner was delicious. My wife especially enjoyed the Belgian chocolate mousse. I enjoy their after dinner coffee - very rich and flavorful. It helps that the staff is very friendly and attentive.

Jeffrey Wright, a Navarre resident, is dead after a late-night standoff with Santa Rosa County Deputies on March 8.
SWAT responded to Avenida De Galvez in Robledal Estates after Wright barricaded himself with a semi-automatic pistol in the second floor of his home. Wright, 54, claimed to be a sovereign citizen and as such did not need to comply with law enforcement.
"We were there, sitting around the table finishing dinner," said Wright's mother, Carole. "My son was still eating when they (deputies) came to the door. He heard his name and he knew who it was."
Carole said that her son had moved back to the area in late 2011 after suffering a stroke; he lived with them in their Navarre home.
