TabletKiosk announces two new UMPCs

TabletKiosk has two new 2nd generation devices that offer a couple enhancements, but the price is still a bit high for widespread rollout of the UMPC platform. Will buyers choose this model over the US$899 current TabletKiosk UMPC?

I am a fan of the UMPC platform and am actually on another business trip with my Samsung Q1 as my primary PC. So far it is again proving to be a very capable device, especially now that I have 1GB of RAM installed with the Q1 restored from scratch.

News of a couple new UMPC models comes from the Origami Project site. TabletKiosk is the only other current UMPC brand competing with the Samsung Q1, ASUS and Founder models should be coming soon, and they just announced their second generation i7200 series devices. The 7210 and 7209 differ by processor, RAM, and hard drive capacity. New features on these two models include a 1.3 megapixel camera and integrated 4-in-1 memory card reader. While it is great to see new UMPC devices rolling out, I still think the Samsung Q1 has better multimedia features and is my personal preferred device. I was a bit surprised to see the rather high price of these newer devices, US$1,099 for the 7209 and US$1,399 for the 7210, since the goal of Microsoft was to get these somewhere down in the US$700 range and now these two are more expensive than the current US$899 v7110 models. These new models are expected before the end of August.

Ravens Super Bowl Hangover? Not Quite, but it’s Only Preseason

Ravens Super Bowl Hangover? Not Quite, but it’s Only Preseason
Thursday, May 28, 2015, 3:49:28 AM
Ravens Crush Bucs in Preseason MatchUp

Ravens Crush Bucs in Preseason Game

Did someone hit the fast forward button this summer? It sure feels that way. It is hard to believe that the Baltimore Ravens played their first preseason game on Thursday night, crushing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 44-16.

While my love/hate with preseason football continues, I learned that some people like preseason games. Some of my Twitter followers replied to my Tweets saying they like watching the rookies and other players hoping to make the final cut. I never looked at it that way so I thank them for opening my eyes to another point of view.

I only planned to watch the first quarter, but got sucked in and stuck around for the first three.  I didn’t realize how much I missed football until the game started. I’m glad I watched, I liked seeing the baby birds vying for roster spots, some made big plays!

Honestly I had no idea of what to expect. Except for a few players, the defensive front line was stacked with new players acquired in the off season. While the “new” starting defense didn’t stay in the game long, they looked pretty impressive.

Of course nothing is perfect, there is a lot of room for improvement; the Ravens had a slow and shaky start, but eventually got their act together and showed they have the potential to do some damage this season.

On the flip side, the starting offense failed to make a lasting impression, they have issues to deal with and questions to answer. Flacco threw an interception in the Ravens’ first possession and the running game couldn’t seem to get off the ground.

Newly acquired tight end Visanthe Shiancoe dropped two passes, while wide receiver Jacoby Jones dropped one.

Thankfully some players made a good impression and will be on head coach John Harbaugh’s radar. Wide receiver LaQuan Williams had two fumble recoveries for the punt team, one returned for a touchdown.

Preseason games are like a dress rehearsal for the regular season and with three preseason games left before the curtain call, the Ravens don’t have much time to find answers to their lingering questions.

I’m not sweating it; I have complete faith that they will find the answers. It may be a bumpy road to September 5, but they will figure it out…

Petcam For Sale

Petcam For Sale, Just recovered from 48 hours of bike-infused goodness, courtesy of the Bicycle Film Festival and a couple of alleycat races. Petcam canada, First, there were lyrical movies like Macaframa, 150mg Petcam, 30mg Petcam, in which Phil and Colin roll up/down/around town struttin' their smooth tricks:

There were two AMAZING shorts -- Street Fighter and Skiboys -- by Benny Zenga; I'm gonna do whatever must be done to get my paws on those. But the highlight of the show, Petcam us, Petcam coupon, at least judging by the racuousness of the crowd at the Victoria Theater, was when the East Bay Scraper Bike Boiz got on stage with their scraper bikes:

There were also a couple of alleycats that I raced with Devin, 100mg Petcam. Petcam japan, Not sure why, but partner races have been a theme for the last month around here, Petcam craiglist. 250mg Petcam, Four weeks ago, we rode a race in honor of the anniversary of two messengers, 1000mg Petcam, Petcam usa, and, after riding around for an hour, Petcam paypal, 50mg Petcam, I shoved a delicate pastry into Devin's mouth and he read me a sweet poem at the finish, and we ended up in 4th place, Petcam mexico. So last week, when I heard that Demarco was putting on SF Scavengers as a partner race, I called up Devin.., Petcam For Sale. 200mg Petcam, a frantic, sweaty hour later, 20mg Petcam, Petcam ebay, we cruised in to Gestalt in 1st place (my first alleycat win!). Yesterday, 10mg Petcam, 500mg Petcam, Demarco hosted another partner race, called Best Friends Forever -- so I called Devin an hour before the start and he boogied down to the Ferry Building just in time, 750mg Petcam. Petcam uk, I was in within view of the first and second-placed guys through the second checkpoint; but probably flubbed it when I chose to run up the Lyon street stairs with my bike over my shoulder rather than ride up through the Presidio. At any rate, Petcam australia, Petcam india, Devin and I cruised down to the finish line on Capp st. in 3rd place -- and took home some sweet Chrome bags with the Bicycle Film Festival logo on them, 40mg Petcam. Petcam overseas, So here's to all those race sponsors, race organizers, awesome friends, and incredible film-makers who put so much energy and love into making it an awesome weekend.

What is an IPS Panel?

IPS (in-plane switching) technology is the highest performance panel technology available in the LCD displays. The specifications and details of IPS panel technology are considered best for high accuracy in color, contrast and wide viewing angles. IPS panels offer excellent picture reproduction and suitable for photography, graphics design, movie production, CAD/CAM engineering, medical and security applications. Illustrations below represent how an image on your screen will look even at extreme viewing angles of up to 178°. With IPS panels, you will not have any color shift or changes in the contrast ratio when you move the image across the screen or change your viewing angle.

Frameless Bezel Design

This display features a frameless design and thin profile that blends seamlessly with the panel for an ultra-high tech look to complement any home setting. The sleek seamless touch sensitive controls provide a simple and intuitive operating experience.

What is a LED monitor?

The term "LED monitor" generally refers to a monitor with a LCD panel and a LED backlight. A typical LCD monitor uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) as a light source to illuminate the LCD panel. In an LED backlit monitor, white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used as the light source. Environmentally friendly LED backlights provide the following benefits:

  • About 40% less power consumption compared to traditional CCFL monitor
  • 30,000,000:1 MEGA Dynamic Contrast Ratio
  • Environmentally friendly mercury-free backlight
  • Low EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
  • Slimmer design
  • Weight reduction
Save Cash and Save the Planet

With its mercury free backlight and low energy consumption, the ENERGY STAR 5.0 certified VX2770Smh-LED is not only environmentally friendly but also friendly on your electricity bill as well. This can add up to thousands of dollars saved for large install bases, such as big corporate buildings or schools, the savings can be as dramatic as $20,000* in five years!

sRGB Color Correction Technology Delivers the Most Accurate Color Performance Available

ViewSonic LCD monitors embedded sRGB color correction technology reproduce 100% sRGB rich color for color performance matching original input sources without decreasing or leveraging color quality. sRGB ensures all displayed images/videos are as natural as the original sources, displaying real color for captured camera and camcorder content.

Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio

One of the great features of VX2770Smh-LED is its ability to dim the backlight completely for pure darkness during dark scenes such as a night shot in a movie. Contrast ratios refer to the ratio of the brightest color to the darkest color. With traditional CCFL backlit displays, contrast ratios are limited to the fluorescent lamp’s ability to dim in order to reproduce darkness. However, with the LED backlight, each LED has the ability to completely shut off allowing for a near infinite ratio of black to white contrast. The end result is true blacks that result in greater overall image quality.

Full HD 1080p Resolution

The VX2770Smh-LED features a 27" widescreen with 1920x1080 resolution is capable of displaying a native Full HD 1080p image. Today, devices that can display Full HD content output are getting more and more common. However, without a native Full HD display, you will not be able to experience the picture clarity and the details of the 1080p content you view.

Eco-mode for up to 30%* energy savings

ViewSonic’s proprietary Eco-mode function comes standard with the VX2770Smh-LED. When you don’t need all of the powerful features the VX2770Smh-LED has to offer, you have the option to reduce the monitor’s brightness, save energy, save the planet and prolong the lamp life. You can select one of the “Optimize” or “Conserve” options and save up to 30%* energy. Especially under low ambient light conditions, adjusting the brightness will improve visibility by reducing eye fatigue. Reducing brightness will also prolong the monitor’s lamp life, improving your return on investment. *Energy savings may vary based on actual usage and other factors.

The best pixel performance guarantee and 3 year limited warranty

One of the aspects that makes ViewSonic a market leader in displays is its dedication to quality. ViewSonic is committed to use the highest grade panels and offer the best pixel performance policy in the market. We also back our displays with 3-year limited warranty for your peace of mind.

Indian Education Initiative

Home | News and Events | Important Documents | Program Directory

Santa Clara Pueblo, NM Consultation

The Department of Education participated in a consultation with regional Tribal Leaders in Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, on May 3, 2010. This consultation was hosted at Santa Clara Day School by the All Indian Pueblo Council.

The event attracted more than 100 participants, including nineteen pueblo governors and leaders from the Navajo, Hopi, and Ho-Chunk Nations. The consultation was moderated by All Indian Pueblo Council Chairman Joe Garcia and Department of Education Under Secretary Martha Kanter. Other attendees from the Department included Jenelle Leonard, Acting Director of the Office of Indian Education; Ricardo Soto, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights; and Nia Phillips, Deputy General Counsel. In addition, the Department of the Interior's Wizipan Garriott, Policy Advisor to the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs, attended the meeting.

One of the most prevalent discussion topics was the need, according to participants, for more (and more consistent) funding for education. For example, some leaders suggested that Tribal education departments require more resources in order to fulfill both the needs of their tribes and the implementation of federal education programs. There was also a significant degree of consensus among Tribal members about the need for more funding for (and more attention to) alternative forms of education, such as vocational training.

The integration of traditional American Indian and Alaska Native language and culture into existing curricula was also discussed. Tribal Leaders spoke about specific immersion programs that they believe have been highly successful. Furthermore, many felt that assessments that reflect an understanding of American Indian and Alaska Native culture would be more appropriate for their students. More generally, some Tribal Leaders expressed concern that the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) relies on state standards and assessments rather than helping tribes to develop their own.

Other topics of conversation included improving coordination between the BIE and the Department of Education, restructuring the disbursement of Impact Aid funding, and expanding tribes' access to their members' student records. Also, many Tribal Leaders discussed the "trust relationship" between the federal government and American Indian and Alaska Native tribes, reminding the officials from the Department of Education and the Department of the Interior that interactions with tribes must respect Tribal sovereignty and self-determination.

DOE officially launched the EcoCar2 competition on April 13 and named the sixteen university teams that were selected to participate. EcoCar2: Plugging into the Future is an educational partnership between General Motors and DOE to help prepare future engineers for opportunities in clean energy and advanced vehicle industries.

EcoCAR 2 is a unique three-year collegiate engineering competition that challenges teams to reduce the environmental impact of an existing vehicle without compromising performance, safety, or consumer acceptability. The program's combination of cutting-edge engineering practices, hands-on experience, and knowledge sharing in a competitive and team-oriented environment gives participating students a head start toward future job success. Participants will go on to make contributions that will help keep the North American automotive industry competitive in the global market place, which is increasingly adopting fuel-efficient designs.

EcoCAR2 includes both new teams and veterans to the advanced vehicle technology competitions. These teams will explore a variety of power train architectures and follow a real-world engineering regimen modeled after GM's Global Vehicle Development Process (GVDP). Each EcoCar2 team will use a Chevrolet Malibu, donated by General Motors, as the integration platform for their advanced vehicle design. See the DOE press release and the EcoCAR Challenge website.

Illinois suit may interfere with state’s tobacco funds

March 30, 2003

— An Illinois court judgment against a cigarette maker could disrupt payments of tobacco settlement funds to Kansas -- and sink Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' proposal to issue bonds to help balance the budget, legislative leaders say.

A judge in Madison County, Ill., ordered Philip Morris to post a $12 billion appeal bond after ruling against it in a class-action lawsuit alleging fraud in the marketing of "light" cigarettes. The judge's March 21 ruling found Philip Morris liable for $7.1 billion in compensatory damages and $3 billion in punitive damages.

Now, however, Philip Morris has told the attorneys general of 46 states that it cannot post the appeal bond and pay its April 15 installment of $2.6 billion in the tobacco settlement.

Philip Morris represents about 50 percent of the settlement reached in 1998 between big tobacco companies and states that sued to recover their costs for treating people with smoking-related illnesses.

Kansas could lose more than $20 million in April if Philip Morris cannot pay its share. The state expects to receive $56 million from all companies during the current fiscal year and $57 million during the fiscal year beginning July 1.

The proceeds have been going into the Children's Trust Fund, to be spent on youth programs, but the state has increasingly used the money for other special education programs and other general operations.

"It's not a good development," Senate Ways and Means Chairman Steve Morris, R-Hugoton, said Friday of the warning from Philip Morris. "It would cause significant damage to our budget infrastructure."

Beyond the immediate loss of money, Sebelius has proposed to sell $175 million worth of bonds against the future tobacco revenue to help balance Kansas' budget through June 30, 2004.

Atty. Gen. Phill Kline said he notified the governor's chief counsel, Matt All, of the development Friday. He said he was preparing a letter to her and legislators.

"We will definitely look into it and see how it could affect us," said Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran-Basso.

Kline said he told legislative leaders that payments to Kansas could be reduced by as much as 50 percent.

Senate President Dave Kerr said the development doesn't affect the Sebelius revenue proposal.

"The use of the tobacco money was just a cover story," said Kerr, R-Hutchinson.

If Philip Morris defaults or files bankruptcy, Kerr said, he would expect the 46 attorneys general to file suit saying bankruptcy does not excuse the tobacco company from its obligations.

Speaker Doug Mays said a special House committee on the bonding proposal would meet Tuesday to discuss the development.

"This is our worst fear," said Mays, R-Topeka. "It demonstrates that the tobacco revenue is tenuous at best."

Mays added that Sebelius' revenue plan is "taking on water."

"It's time to go to Plan B, if there is one," Mays said.

But House Minority Leader Dennis McKinney said the bonds could be backed with general tax revenues or other funds, such as gambling proceeds.

"It's a little more complicated, but it's not a disaster," said McKinney, D-Greensburg.

In other legislative action:

l House leaders formed a committee to review Sebelius' proposal to fund the state budget with bonds.

l The governor and Senate president discussed the possibility of the state issuing bonds to finance the $500 million investment sought by Boeing Wichita officials to help secure work on a new Boeing jetliner.

l The House passed a bill requiring treatment rather than prison sentences for some people convicted of drug possession.

l A proposed constitutional amendment that would put a commission in charge of Kansas' political redistricting process failed in the Senate.

More may be involved in WikiLeaks

August 1, 2010

— An Army private charged with leaking classified material to the whistleblower website WikiLeaks had civilian help, a key figure in the case said Saturday.

The development, first reported in the New York Times, suggests an expansion of the government’s investigation into leaks including more than 76,900 secret Afghanistan war records posted on WikiLeaks in the past week.

Army officials didn’t immediately return calls and e-mails from The Associated Press asking if they are looking at possible civilian accomplices of Army Pfc. Bradley E. Manning, who’s charged under military law with leaking classified material. FBI officials declined to comment and referred inquiries to the Pentagon.

Adrian Lamo, the Sacramento, Calif.-based computer hacker who turned in Bradley to military authorities in May, claimed in a telephone interview Saturday he had firsthand knowledge that someone helped Manning set up encryption software to send classified information to WikiLeaks.

The Department of Counseling and Career Services

Disability Laws

Relevant Disability Laws and Higher Education:

Two major pieces of federal law exist that mandates a legal obligation to provide accommodations to individuals with disabilities.  They are Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans’ with Disabilities Act of 1990.  In addition, New Jersey has a Law Against Discrimination.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (P.l. 93-112) states:

“No otherwise qualified handicapped individual, shall, solely by reason of the handicap be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance”.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) Upholds and extends the standards for compliance under Section 504.  This comprehensive civil rights act provides increased protection for individuals with disabilities both in the public and private sector.

New Jersey Law Against Discrimination

Who is Considered a Person with a Disability?
A person with a disability is an individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.  An individual is considered to be a person with a disability if she/he (1) has a disability (2) has a history of disability or (3) is perceived by others as having a disability.

Conditions considered a disability include but not limited to:

Alcoholism                                   Epilepsy
Attention Deficit Disorder          Hear Disease
Cancer                                          Learning Disabilities
Cerebral Palsy                            Multiple Sclerosis
Deafness/Hard of hearing        Muscular Dystrophy
Diabetes                                       Psychological Disorders
Drug Addiction  (recovered)      Orthopedic Impairments
Speech impairments                 Visual Impairments

The Law and Higher Education Implications:

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, all institutions of higher education  must comply with policies, procedures and employment practices that impact individuals with disabilities.  Under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 institutions must also make appropriate and reasonable for students with disabilities to ensure full accessibility in academic courses and programs as well as in non-academic areas of the institution.  All campus programs, services, and activities must be fully accessible to students with disabilities.

Under the guidelines (34 C.F.R. Part  104 of Section 504)  the institution is expected to uphold the following conditions:

•  Not limiting the number of students with disabilities admitted to the institution.
•  Prohibiting pre-admission inquiries as to whether or not an applicant has a disability.
•  Modifying degree and/or course requirements to ensure that the requirements do not discriminate against qualified students with disabilities.  However, institutions are not required to fundamentally alter the standards of a program or course.
•  Permitting auxiliary aids in the classroom to ensure full participation of students with disabilities.
•  Not excluding an otherwise qualified student with a disability from any course of study.
•  Counseling students towards more restrictive career than students without disabilities is discriminatory, unless such counsel is based on strict defensible licensing or certification requirements in a profession.
•  Ensuring that every program and service within an institution is accessible to students with disabilities.

Oley looking for that missing link: a county title

[+] Enlarge.   -
Oley's Jasmen Clark drives to the basket during Saturday's District 3-AAA championship game at the Giant Center.
Division III of the Berks Girls Basketball League can boast of something no other division can: a returning District 3 champion.

The Oley Valley Lynx won their first Class AAA title, one of the highlights of an extremely successful 2010-11 season for Berks girls basketball teams. Almost everyone is back from a squad that went 12-1 in the league and 25-5 overall.

It's one of the five things to watch.

1. Can Lynx add to title collection?

Oley's magical playoff run started with a 75-59 victory over Bishop McDevitt in the District 3 Tournament. It didn't end until District 12 power Prep Charter knocked off the Lynx in the PIAA Class AAA quarterfinals almost a month later.

Along the way, the Oley girls defeated Palmyra, Gettysburg and Lancaster Catholic to earn the program's first district title. And with four of the five starters returning from that group, expectations are lofty.

Kayla Krott, a forward who averaged 6.4 points per game, is the only starter who graduated. All-division first-team guards Jasmen Clark and Brandi Vallely are back, as are two all-division second-teamers, center Miranda Krott and guard Breanne Lamey.

Forward Loryn Grieb was the first player off the bench last season, averaging 3.3 points and shooting 81 percent from the foul line.

Vallely's older sister, Nicole, has returned as well after playing for Central Catholic last year. Nicole Vallely averaged 5.5 points as a junior and is also an outstanding defender.

Brandywine Heights coach Jim Moll summed it up: "Oley returns six seniors, including what I consider to be four of the top 20 players in Berks County. They were District 3-AAA champions last season, and no team works harder than they do, especially their leader, Jasmen Clark. They will be a strong contender to win the county championship this season."

Ah, yes, the county title.

Even though his team won district gold last season, Oley coach Mike Clark hasn't forgotten about the goal that's slightly closer to home.

In fact, when asked in a preseason survey about his outlook for the year, Clark responded with six words: "Looking to contend for county title."

Three schools - Gov. Mifflin, Reading High and Wilson - have won the last six Berks League titles.

It's rarely easy for a smaller school to topple one of the Quad-A stalwarts. Maybe that's why the achievement carries so much weight.

The Lynx fell to Daniel Boone in the Berks quarterfinals last season. It was their last loss before reeling off six consecutive postseason victories.

2. Balancing act

The numbers spoke for themselves.

Four Oley players averaged double-digit scoring a year ago, led by Brandi Vallely at 14.0 points per game. Jasmen Clark, who made 75 percent of her free throws, was right behind her at 13.4. Breanne Lamey (11.8) and Miranda Krott (11.0) also averaged in double figures.

Oley averaged a Berks-best 61.2 points per game. Clark (51) and Lamey (42) combined for 93 3-pointers.

If the Lynx can maintain that kind of balance, victories will follow.

3. Ascending Hawks

When one coach says a certain team is one to watch, you notice.

When two coaches mention that team, it's a trend.

And when three coaches mention it, you tend to believe they're onto something.

Hamburg is that team this season.

"Hamburg returns a deep roster filled with height," Brandywine coach Jim Moll said, "and they have one of the best coaches in Berks County in Mike Garman."

The Hawks quietly went 7-15 last year. But, as several coaches noted, Garman has an experienced lineup. His five returning starters include all-division forward Kaylie Hafer (9.9 ppg) and all-division guard Tara Klee (7.3).

Hamburg last had a winning season in 2008-09, when the Hawks went 13-10.

They have the potential to make the playoffs this year.

4. Young Bullets

Brandywine Heights lost five senior starters, including three players - Adreana Sadowski, Mercedes Ingram and Emily Fox - who accounted for almost 30 points per game.

Sadowski, a three-time member of the all-division first team, averaged 14.6.

Still, don't count out the Bullets just yet.

They've won at least 12 games in each of Jim Moll's first three seasons as coach. To reach the Berks playoffs for the second year in a row, a less experienced starting lineup will have to grow up quickly.

Ally Vinciguerra, the team's captain and point guard, is one of two seniors and played in every game as a junior. Juniors Meagan Loos (3.8 ppg) and Ashley Smith (2.3) also have significant experience.

5. New-look Panthers

Schuylkill Valley averaged 39 points per game last year.

All-Berks senior center Kirsti Bair contributed 18.2 of them. No individual loss is more striking.

Add in the loss of the team's No. 2 and No. 3 scorers, and it's clear the Panthers will be a different team.

Junior guard Taylor Schlegel (3.6 ppg) and sophomore forward Jill Deiley (1.5) will lead the way.

"We look to be competitive in the division and be in a position to make playoffs by the end of the season," Schuylkill Valley coach Nate Cammauf said. "Oley is most likely the front-runner, but Brandywine and Hamburg have good squads."

Led by Woomer’s gold, Bulldogs have big day

Nick Woomer wins the 50 free, and the Wilson boys and girls lead the team standings after the first day of the District 3 meet.

Mechanicsburg -
Getting ready to swim in the 50-yard freestyle, Wilson senior Nick Woomer was pumped up.

He was the top seed for the event, but that wasn’t why he was ready to go.

Actually, it was because his teammates all slashed their seed times.

“Everybody’s dropping so much time today,” Woomer said. “That’s great. It gets you fired up.”

And with that, he zipped through the Cumberland Valley High pool in 21.38 seconds to win the 50 free title Friday night at the District 3-AAA Championships.

Woomer and the Bulldogs 200 medley and 200 free relays all struck gold as the boys held a commanding lead in the team standings after the first day of competition. Wilson had 310 points, 132 points ahead of second-place Cumberland Valley.

The Wilson girls, thanks to some personal-best swims and a Berks-record performance by the 200 free relay, were also in first with 208 points, just ahead of Hershey (191).

By dropping those times, the Bulldogs are achieving two goals.

“That’s what it’s all about,” coach Roy Snyder said. “We’re trying to win a (district) team title and get as many swimmers to states as we can. We’re doing both.”

Still, it was hard to be businesslike with freshmen such as Nate Savoy, Tyler Toren and Zach Delillo all smashing their seed times.

Savoy took 3½ seconds off in the 200 individual medley; Toran dropped 2½ in the 200 free; Delillo took three off in the IM.

“They can motivate anyone, even the top seed,” Woomer said. “I’m really fired up.”

As for gathering points, the Bulldogs scored 53 just in the 100 butterfly even though the highest finisher was Jared Figueroa in third. Isaac Wenrich was fourth, Matt Savoy sixth and Michael Westley ninth.

“We’re all extremely excited,” Snyder said. “The kids are swimming great and the kids are doing their best times.”

Another good sign — the 200 free relay won without needing Woomer’s services. Jack Ruth, J.C. Hoffa, Dan Crigler and Steve Gallagher took first in 1:26.68.

“We’ve said that we have a deep team and that proves it,” Snyder said.

The medley relay of Woomer, Gallagher, Figueroa and Hoffa won in 1:36.52.

Meanwhile, the Wilson girls were putting up a spirited battle with favorite Hershey in the team standings. The Bulldogs finished second twice to the Trojans in both relays, and had runner-up finishes by Caitlyn Karr (200 free), Morgan Curran (IM) and Sami Wierzbicki (50 free) to take the slight lead.

“We’ve also had fantastic drops in time,” Bulldogs girls coach Bob Bright said. “Even the girls that didn’t score had drops.”

The performance of the night was from the 200 free relay. It set a Berks record, despite getting a silver. The team of Wierzbicki, Taylor Straub, Paige Impink and Chelsea Beck had a time of 1:36.37 to break the previous mark of 1:37.40 set last year at districts by the Bulldogs.

The 1:37.40 set the district record last year, which Hershey broke Friday (1:35.82).
