Atavism

I always was afraid of Somes's Pond:

Not the little pond, by which the willow stands,

Where laughing boys catch alewives in their hands

In brown, bright shallows; but the one beyond.

There, when the frost makes all the birches burn

Yellow as cow-lilies, and the pale sky shines

Like a polished shell between black spruce and pines,

Some strange thing tracks us, turning where we turn.

?

You'll say I dream it, being the true daughter

Of those who in old times endured this dread.

Look! Where the lily-stems are showing red

A silent paddle moves below the water,

A sliding shape has stirred them like a breath;

Tall plumes surmount a painted mask of death.

?

About This Poem

Somes's Pond is located on Mount Desert Island in Maine, where a young Elinor Wylie would summer with her family.

Elinor Hoyt was born in Somerville, New Jersey, on September 7, 1885. Though also notorious for her numerous romances, including with eventual husband Horace Wylie, she was primarily renowned among her contemporaries for the quality of her poetry and fiction. Wylie died in 1928.

Windows Age of Empires Online On My Triple-Monitor Setup!

Age of Empires Online - Nvidia Surround - GTX 670 3-Way SLI:

AOEO is quite the experience when played on a triple-monitor setup! This game works very well when using Nvidia Surround, AMD Eyefinity, etc. No extra tricks, hacks, or customization required. AOEO will automatically detect your multi-monitor resolution, at least, in my experience. A big shout out to the AOEO dev teams for allowing the game to support surround gaming right 'out of the box.'

Anyone else out there playing AOEO across multiple monitors, whether it be Nvidia Surround, AMD Eyefinity, Matrox TripleHead2Go, SoftTH, etc?

NBC's 'Revolution' moves to Texas amid drama flight

Underscoring the pitched battle to land television dramas, production of NBC's post-apocalyptic drama "Revolution" has moved halfway across the country to Austin, Texas.

The first season of the J.J. Abrams-produced science fiction drama was shot in Wilmington, N.C. But this summer Warner Bros. relocated production of the hourlong show to the Lone Star state, which offers generous tax credits.

NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt said Saturday that scenery and storytelling also factored into the decision to shift the show to Austin. North Carolina also has lucrative incentives for TV producers.

VIDEO: Summer 2013 TV preview

"This has been a nomadic show," Greenblatt said during NBC's executive session at the Television Critics Assn. conference in Beverly Hills. "The show producers looked at that area, and the producers and Warner Bros. agreed that it would be great to move the show to Austin for a second season."

"Revolution," which was initially set in the Chicago area before moving on, opened strong last fall before falling dramatically in the ratings following a nearly four-month hiatus over the winter months. Producers are under pressure this year to restore some of the show's initial luster and promise, while at the same time controlling costs to sustain the production.

Texas has an increasingly vibrant film community, greatly benefiting that state's economy. So far this year the state has hosted more than 16 TV and film projects.

ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll???????

Austin officials expect the show to inject $50 million into the local economy, providing jobs for an estimated 250 people. Austin also was home to NBC's fan favorite "Friday Night Lights," and ABC Family's "The Lying Game." The "Dallas" remake for Time Warner Inc.'s TNT channel is produced around Dallas.

Texas' incentive program offers producers of television shows, feature films, TV commercials and video games rebates of 5% to 17.5% of eligible Texas spending, according to the Motion Picture Assn. of America.

Los Angeles continues to hemorrhage the particularly lucrative productions of TV dramas to other states offering generous tax incentives. NBC has just one new fall drama, "Ironside," shooting in Los Angeles, in part because star Blair Underwood wanted to stay in L.A.?

Only two of 23 new network dramas, including "Ironside," will be shot in Los Angeles.

NBA Brings Its Game to Asia

By Cris Larano and Josephine Cuneta

The National Basketball Association has brought its game to Asia, and it is looking to dominate.

Carlos Singson, country manager of NBA Asia for the Philippines, said the league is eager to expand in Asia, after having successfully built fan bases in China and the Philippines. He cited the region?s population and growing affluence as reasons the NBA sees Asia as ideal for its growth.

China is the NBA?s biggest market outside the U.S., not just because of its size but due to the country?s success in sending players to the league, including global celebrity Yao Ming. And in the Philippines, basketball has reached a near-religious popularity, where basketball courts can be found everywhere from inner city roads to dirt paths in rural areas.

Just last week, thousands of fans braved monsoon rains?some enduring two overnight vigils?to secure free tickets for the first visit of four-time NBA Most Valuable Player LeBron James.? Local hoop stars, meantime, have used their celebrity to launch movie and political careers long after they hung up their jerseys. The Philippine Basketball Association boasts of being the oldest professional basketball association in Asia, and college games are broadcast live on television.

?These two markets [China and the Philippines] are big for us. What we are trying to do is to also grow in other markets. We are talking about Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, India, Australia. We are doing a lot of initiatives in those countries ? to develop the game,? Mr. Singson told The Wall Street Journal on the sidelines of the NBA?s launch of a three-on-three tournament scheduled for this weekend.

Southeast Asia Real Time Has More.

Breathalyzer Device Tells You When Your Workout Is Burning Fat ...

Paired with smartphone, prototype device helps gauge weight-loss success, developers say

WebMD News from HealthDay

By Kathleen Doheny

HealthDay Reporter

THURSDAY, July 25 (HealthDay News) -- A new, portable breathalyzer that pairs with a smartphone and Bluetooth can measure how well you're burning body fat and help you gauge the success of your diet and exercise program, according to a new report from Japan.

At this point, the device is only a prototype. It's pocket-sized, about 4 inches long, and weighs about 4.5 ounces. It operates on two AA batteries.

The device measures acetone, a metabolite produced from fat burning. When you burn fat, acetone levels rise in the blood, but are also exhaled. The new device is as reliable as a "gold standard" test (such as gas chromatography) to measure acetone, according to Satoshi Hiyama, senior research engineer at NTT Docomo, a Japanese mobile communications company.

"We found that the concentrations of breath acetone obtained from our prototype and from conventional gas chromatography have a strong correlation throughout our experiments," Hiyama said.

The researchers tested the device in 17 healthy men and women, reporting their findings online July 25 in the Journal of Breath Research.

"Enabling users to monitor the state of fat burning could play a pivotal role in daily diet management," Hiyama said in a journal news release.

To operate the device, the user blows into it and the acetone concentration levels are calculated and sent via Bluetooth or cable to an Android-based smartphone. It takes about 10 seconds.

For the study, after people blew into the breathalyzer, they also blew into a special collection bag that was measured with the conventional chromatography method.

Hiyama and his team had assigned the participants to one of three groups for the 14-day study. All were overweight by Japanese standards. (Body mass index thresholds in Asian populations are similar but not identical to U.S. standards, for example.)

One group carried on with their normal routine, with no instructions to exercise or restrict calories.

A second group was required to take part in jogging or fast walking from one half-hour to an hour a day. The third group did the same exercise routine but also was instructed to restrict calories.

Each day before breakfast, the men and women used a bath scale to weigh themselves and measure body fat, then used the breathalyzer.

Those in the first two groups did not lose substantial amounts of weight -- their breath acetone levels were constant. The researchers suggested that the exercise-only group members, allowed to set their own pace, weren't working hard enough.

Those in the third group who followed instructions lost substantial amounts of fat and their breath acetone levels rose.

The researchers speculate that the device might also be used in the prevention and treatment of diabetes. When diabetes is out of control, acetone breath levels rise.

Turkish president congratulates interim Egypt leader on anniversary

ANKARA | Wed Jul 24, 2013 12:24pm EDT

ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish President Abdullah Gul has sent a message to Egypt's interim leader in a bid to maintain diplomatic ties despite Ankara's refusal to officially recognize his government, officials said on Wednesday.

Turkey has emerged as one of the fiercest international critics of what it has called an "unacceptable coup" after Egypt's military ousted the elected president, Mohamed Mursi, from office earlier this month.

Gul's office said on Wednesday the Turkish president had sent a written message congratulating interim president Adli Mansour on the anniversary of Egypt's July 23, 1952 revolution.

Relations between Turkey's government, which like Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood has Islamist roots, and Egypt are in diplomatic limbo, with Ankara saying that while it will work with the government it does not officially recognize it.

"The Turkish government is not reaching out to the biggest Arab country but someone should be. This is the least of the protocols that should be maintained," a source close to the government said of Gul's message, asking not to be named.

"But this is not a softening of the stance. Any softening would have to come from the government, not from the president, who has a largely ceremonial role. Publicly, he would not challenge the tone or policy of the government."

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has hit out at other nations for failing to condemn Mursi's overthrow, accusing them of double standards but Gul has been more moderate in his response.

Egypt's interim government has warned Ankara not to meddle in its internal affairs and last week summoned Turkey's ambassador to Cairo.

Although the United States has expressed concern at Mursi's removal and called for a swift return to democracy, as has the European Union, it has stopped short of calling it a coup, which might have led to sanctions.

It's what makes hearts pound, tears flow, pulse race and sometimes startle theatergoers right out of their seats. There's a challenge to drama," said Randall Arney, artistic director for the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles. "You must be clear in your storytelling, allowing the audience some anticipation of what's happening next. Sometimes the anticipation makes things even more scary. Dramas also bind audiences together. There's just something about going through harrowing experiences that connects you." Oct. 8 through Nov. 17 the Geffen will stage "Wait Until Dark," a dramatic thriller about a blind woman who defends herself from a home invasion. This is a wonderful ride for the audience," said Arney, a 30-year theater veteran. "It sucks the responses right out of you." Arney saw the show early in his career and it left a lasting impression. He'd always wanted to bring it to the Geffen. When brainstorming with director Matt Shakman on what drama to choose for the season, "Wait Until Dark" was on Shakman's short list and now the two are making it happen. As an added bonus, the estate of Frederick Knott, the play's writer who also wrote "Dial M for Murder," has allowed the creative team to hire accomplished playwright Jeffrey Hatcher to refine parts of the original play and introduce a world premiere of a new script. There are parts of the play that don't work for contemporary society," Arney said. "But we're not updating it; we're keeping it in the period. We're just blowing the dust off. It's a great opportunity to take a fresh look at a wonderful story." Focusing in on the intimate side of drama, the California Theatre of the Performing Arts in San Bernadino is staging two very different stories with a common theme. Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" runs Feb. 14 through Feb. 16, and "Of Mice and Men" will follow May 31. These are two wonderful examples of humanity," said Ashley Evenson, associate producer for the California Theatre. "Both shows have characters who need to be looked after, who can't take care of themselves. I think both shows are really reflective of the times we live in right now with so many people falling through the cracks." (Frankenstein) is such a poignant story of humanity and what makes us human," Evenson said. "It helps us to understand what it means to love, to listen and to lie. We wanted to explore the relationship between creator and creation and ask the question: 'Just because you create something does it mean you're responsible for it?'" Winner of the Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes, John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" seems to have ongoing relevance. The story is of two migrant field workers, George and Lennie, traveling through California during the Great Depression. George is intelligent but uneducated; Lennie is a large man of simple mind and depends on George for care. The two lean on their friendship to keep hope and battle loneliness. This is a story of what's going on right now in so many places. It's what San Bernardino is going through; it's what the country is going through," Evenson said. "I think of it as a reflection of our times. Most art is a reflection of what's going on in society and what people are really going through." ? Dramas also help educate the public on the triumphs and tragedies of the past. Chino Community Theatre has chosen to produce, "Terra Nova," Sept. 6 through Sept. 28, the tragic, true story of Captain Robert Falcon Scott and the 1911 expedition he led in the attempt to be the first person to reach the South Pole. Their story was taken from actual journals and letters. It's a beautiful tragic play, sort of a 1911 Apollo 13 but without a happy splashdown at the end," said Bruce Hutchins, the play's director. "I believe that if we do it right, the audience will feel like they were there along with Captain Scott and his crew, and they saw into a piece of history." Hutchins, a veteran actor/director, explained some of the differences between comedies and dramas. With comedies, each actor is really talking to the audience. And things like timing or waiting for laughs are for, and controlled by, the audience," he said. "With dramas, however, the communication is between the actors alone, the moments are real, and the audience doesn't exist. Comedies, especially farces, are often fast-paced. I believe that's to let the audience know there's a script somewhere, and everything's under control, so if someone trips on a banana peel, it's OK to laugh." Producing a live theater drama allows audience members to do more than watch, but be in the moment, simulating participation in the event. Dramas, good ones anyway, have a moment where the audience gets the sense there is no script and the characters are on their own," Hutchins said. "Dramas need to breathe, and because of the moments, each performance can be different, depending on where the actors are that night. Dramas can be effective, and strikingly different night to night." Possibly the most philological thriller of the season comes from the Long Beach Playhouse. From Sept. 7 through Oct. 5 its Studio Theatre will stage "Equus." The play is based on a true story about a psychiatrist confronted with a boy who has blinded six horses in a violent fit of passion. It is a fascinating play," said Andrew Vonderschmitt, the Playhouse's producing artistic director. "The dialogue is nearly poetic, yet real with an incredible economy that reveals only what we, the audience, need to see; to understand. The play questions our strict ethical codes and moral lines, asking which of these ethical arguments can be right and just. Questioning ethical boundaries can never be a bad thing. I hope that an observer might walk away with a lot to say on the subject. This play forces you to think and I hope that we do our job right so that our audience will do just that." San Pedro's Little Fish Theater offers theatergoers a "supernatural" option with "The Weir" on stage Sept. 20 through Oct. 19. According to its website, the story is set on a cold and stormy night in an isolated Irish country pub where four local men meet to drink their daily pints. Then in walks Valerie, a pretty young woman, who turns the evening on its ear. Doing their best to win her affections, the men begin to spin tales full of bluster and blarney that turn dark and sinister as the evening progresses.

One of the most interesting story lines from the Washington Redskins? 2012 season was the play of backup quarterback Kirk Cousins during the brief absences of Robert Griffin III. Heading into training camp, it will be real interesting to see how Cousins comes out and plays especially with Griffin recovering from an ACL injury and being worked back into his comfort zone.

During training camp, Cousins will have an opportunity to continue impressing coaches and showing he can run an NFL offense at an efficient level. A backup quarterback is one of the most important positions in this league, and the Redskins surely have their solidified.

But, for how long?

If Cousins? development continues at this rate, wouldn?t it make sense for the Redskins to try and trade the former Michigan State standout? There are a few teams around the league that I?m sure would love to have a guy like Cousins and Washington may be able to deal him in the future.

I guess you could say this year?s training camp is important to Cousins for a couple of different reasons, then. He would obviously love to be a starting quarterback at some point, and his role with the Redskins right now can?t be overstated enough.

With a starting quarterback like Griffin who loves to put his body out there ? despite his eagerness to prove otherwise ? it will be crucial for Cousins to stay on top of his game and continue learning to run the offense at a top-notch level. ACL injuries are nothing to mess around with, and no matter how well-recovered Griffin may be there is always the chance he goes down again.

Obviously as fans, we hope that never happens. But, in the event Cousins is needed again, he will be ready because of all the work he?s put in behind the scenes, starting in camp.

Optical Transistors: The Next Step In Quantum Computing?

By Jim Pomager
http://www.photonicsonline.com/doc/optical-transistors-the-next-step-in-quantum-computing-0001

The world?s appetite for computing power is nearly insatiable, expecting microprocessors to handle ever-larger and more complex calculations quickly and efficiently. Until recently, the go-to method for achieving ongoing performance improvements was to continuously shrink the size of transistors, so you could keep cramming more of them onto each microprocessor chip. Generally speaking, the higher your transistor count, the greater the computing performance of your integrated circuit (IC).
However, we appear to be reaching the practical limits of Moore?s Law, which states that the number of transistors you can get onto an IC ? largely due to reductions in transistor size ? doubles approximately every two years. It?s going to be tough to make conventional electron-based transistors much smaller than they are now (though some are trying), and managing the corresponding heat generated by so many transistors packed into such a tight space is a major challenge.
An optical solution to the problem may be close(r) at hand, according to findings published by two different research groups in recent weeks. Teams at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Research Laboratory of Electronics and the Institute of Solid State Physics at the Vienna University of Technology (UT Vienna) are claiming novel breakthroughs in the development of optical transistors, which use light (photons) rather than electricity (electrons) to carry information. Theoretically, such optical transistors could improve heat/power management and processing speeds in conventional computers, and even facilitate the development of more effective quantum computers ? the holy grail of computing.
Rotating Beams Of Light ? More Efficiently
Back in 2011, a UT Vienna research team led by Professor Andrei Pimenov published results of an experiment demonstrating the Faraday effect ? rotating the polarization plane of a beam of light ? on a massive scale. The researchers effectively tuned a light beam?s polarization by applying a magnetic field to ultra-thin layers of mercury telluride as the beam (terahertz radiation, to be precise) passed through it. Used in conjunction with a polarization filter, which allows only light polarized at a particular angle to pass, this ?light transistor? could thus control whether a beam would pass or be blocked, much like a traditional transistor would manage electron flow.
?This is the very principle of a transistor,? Pimenov stated. ?The application of an external voltage determines whether current flows or not, and in our case, the voltage determines whether the light arrives or not.?

UT Vienna researchers applied an electromagnetic potential to a light beam traveling through special mercury telluride platelets, enabling them to rotate the beam?s polarization direction. [Credit: UT Vienna]

Unfortunately, this initial approach was less than efficient, requiring an external magnetic coil and very large electrical currents to generate the necessary magnetic field. In the results published earlier this month, however, Pimenov?s team showed it could overcome this problem by rotating the polarization using electrical potential, or the volume of electrons involved, rather than the strength of the magnetic field. As a result, the new optical transistor can be controlled using a permanent magnet and an electrical potential of less than one volt.
Creating A Single-Photon Optical Switch
The MIT group?s approach involved setting a pair of highly reflective mirrors a precise distance from one other, and filling the space in between them with supercooled cesium gas. In its ?on? position, the optical switch allows light of a certain wavelength to pass through both the mirrors and the gas. But by throwing it into the ?off? position ? by firing a single ?gate? photon into the gas, exciting one electron of one cesium atom into a higher energy state ? only about 20% of the light is able to get through.
The MIT findings could help eventually address the transistor overheating issue in conventional microprocessors, at least in theory, because the single-photon approach is more energy efficient than the current electrical one. ?One could imagine implementing a similar device in solid state ? example, using impurity atoms inside an optical fiber or piece of a solid,? Vladan Vuletic, lead investigator and Lester Wolfe Professor of Physics at MIT. (The work was carried out in partnership with researchers from Harvard University and, of all places, UT Vienna.)
What really has technologists interested, though, is the potential application for the MIT optical transistor in quantum computing, particularly the issue of superposition. This concept ties my brain in a bit of a knot, but the gist is that where memory in classical computers is made up of bits, which must be in one of two states (for instance, 0 and 1) at any given time, in quantum computers it?s composed of a series of qbits, which can exist in both states simultaneously. Please don?t ask me to explain any further, but suffice it to say that photons are easier to keep in superposition than alternative particles being explored for qbits, like laser-trapped ions.
Coming Soon To A Computer Near You?
These two recent examples are far from the first demonstrated optical transistor concepts, and research into the technology is being conducted at McGill University, Purdue University, the Max Planck Institute, and elsewhere. Plus, both approaches are a long way from practical use ? they are still comparatively large in scale and have rather particular operating requirements. (Sheets of mercury telluride and supercooled cesium gas aren?t exactly easy to come by.) So while these accomplishments may represent significant steps toward new computing techniques, don?t expect either to unseat the good old electrical transistor any time soon.

NFL Communications - NFL Launches Legends Program for Former ...

WARRICK DUNN, CHAD PENNINGTON and ROD WOODSON among 19 Former Players to Serve as Legends

The National Football League today launched its Legends Program, the newest step in a series of programs designed to help former NFL players connect with each other, their former teams and the NFL.

Nineteen former players, including two Hall of Famers, form the first class of NFL Legends who will participate in this multi-faceted program developed by NFL Player Engagement and the league?s Marketing Department.? The Legends will develop, foster and manage national and local alumni relations to deepen the relationship and communication between the league office, teams and former players.? They also will participate in the league?s calendar events and fan platforms as additional ways to remain connected to the game.

NFL Commissioner ROGER GOODELL and NFL Senior Vice President of Player Engagement TROY VINCENT kicked off the program on Monday, the first of two days of training at the NFL office in New York City.

?Based on our peer-to-peer model, the Legends Program will reach out to our former players, and let them know that their contribution to the game we love is appreciated and their voice is welcome,? said Vincent. ?We are a brotherhood, a family. We need to strengthen our relationships across the generations of our alumni, stay connected, and continue to contribute to this game and to each other.?

The Legends Program is built on a peer-to-peer model used in other NFL Player Engagement programs, fostering deeper relationships between generations of NFL players.? Legends commit to a three-year term during which they will work to connect the 32 teams and the league with more former players.? Legends will work closely with existing club-designated alumni directors, communicate with groups representing former players, and help develop and participate in team and league events.

New Nexus 7 appears in Best Buy circular

Best Buy ad confirms $230 price tag and 1920 x 1200 display

Everyone is excited about the coming Nexus 7 sequel, even Best Buy by the looks of this sales circular. We don't get a very good press image of the upcoming tablet, but we've seen that already so we can focus on the details instead. This ad mentions a 1920 x 1200 screen, 16GB of storage, and the same $230 price we reported last week.

It's worth noting that it also says available Tuesday, but we have to remember there is a Tuesday in every week. This doesn't necessarily mean the day after tomorrow, and likely refers to Tuesday July 30, which is a few days after Google's big event in California coming this week. Without knowing the exact distribution date of this flyer, there is a bit of speculation involved.

We're ready, and an appearance at Best Buy on release may mean a little less frustration than ordering from Google Play. We'll know in just a few days.

Pete Paguaga?Register Citizen Robert Skinner of the Gilbert high school boy?s basketball team has been named the 2012-2013 Register Citizen Boy?s Athlete of the Year after a strong senior campagin. Skinner led the Berkshire League with 22.5 points per-game while leading Gilbert to a 14-7 record.

During his senior season at Gilbert High School, Robert Skinner scored a lot of points, leading the Berkshire League in scoring this past season, with 22.5 points-per-game, but this season took more of a mental toll then past seasons.

?It was definitely a roller coaster of a season,? said Skinner, who played most of this past season with injuries, capped by a concussion that had him miss the final five games of the season.

?This season was more about how much people cared about my wellbeing,? said Skinner. ?People would come up to me and told me not to play because I have a bright future.?

Gilbert head coach, Mark Douglass knew that it was tough for Skinner to sit out those games, but his future was more important.

?It was tough on him, he doesn?t like to miss games,? said Douglass. ?We told him that he has a bright future ahead of him.?

After a successful junior season, where Skinner helped lead Gilbert to the Berkshire League Championship, he had the ability to repeat that this season.

?I definitely wanted to win the BL?s again,? said Skinner. ?We had a strong preseason and I knew that we would have a good year.?

The Yellow Jackets started the season off going 11-3 in their first 14 games of the season. They then finished the year 3-3, before losing to Thomaston in the first round of the Berkshire League tournament and then to Weaver, again in the first round, in the Class S State Tournament.

Though the season finished on a sour note, Skinner still enjoyed his last season.

?I still had fun,? said he said. ?It was tough though.? Continued...

This wasn?t the first time that Skinner faced adversity in his life. When he was five years-old Skinner had cancer.

?I had cancer in 1999 in my right leg,? said Skinner. ?It lasted for a year; it was one of the toughest things I?ve ever done.?

That didn?t stop Skinner, even at a young age.

?It didn?t affect me right after,? he said. ?Right after I finished with it, I got into youth football, nothing held me back.?

It was those experiences that made Skinner such a well-liked player on and off the court.

?He has had to overcome some stuff,? said Douglass. ?That?s where I think his desire and love for the game of basketball comes from. He is always upbeat and always wants to excel.?

Douglass noticed those qualities early on when he decided to give Skinner the keys to the Gilbert boys? basketball program when he was just a freshman.

?When he came up as a freshman, he had the qualities, he wanted to be better, he wanted to help his teammates get better,? said Douglass, who said Gilbert was coming off one of the programs worst seasons, when Skinner got to high school. ?I told him he would run the team, it was his team now. It was a lot to ask of him, it could have gone either way.?

Gilbert got better every year, Skinner was there.

With all the wins and awards Skinner earned, including the First-Team Berkshire League team, his favorite memory from his senior year was his team?s 81-80 loss at Torrington High School on January 19. Continued...

?It was definitely the Torrington game, everyone said they would beat us,? said Skinner. ?We lost by one and I scored 41 points.?

In the game between Class S Gilbert and Class L Torrington, Skinner has ice in his veins in the final minute.

With 1:15 left on the clock down 75-72, Skinner nailed a three-pointer to tie the game up at 75-75.

Then with his team down 78-75 with 34 seconds left, Skinner hit a layup to pull his team within one point 78-77.

After Torrington went to the free-throw line and hit both of them Skinner again hit a three-pointer, this time with two Red Raider defenders on him, to tie the game up at 80-80.

?My jump shot was working,? he said. ?I was just staying aggressive from the beginning of the game.?

After Torrington hit one free throw, it was Skinner who got the ball with the game on the line. This time the shot didn?t fall as Skinner?s shot hit the backboard and then the front of the rim.

?He put the team on his back in that game,? said Douglass. ?That game opened a lot of eyes, for Gilbert and for him.?

Next season, Skinner will be attending the Community College of Rhode Island.

?I am going to a junior college CCRI,? said Skinner. ?I am going to shoot for Division I.? Continued...

Douglass is sad to see Skinner leave but is excited for what the future holds for him.

?I am so glad he?s going to continue his career,? said Douglass. ?I?ll be watching.?
