Cannot get this to work. I've tried everything I can think of!

I'm trying to install and get this working at all. I've read about a dozen forum threads asking for help and none seem to work for me. It seems so easy to install this but it's not working at all.

My dev URL is http://utrip.pickorange.com/event-list/

I've tried the debugger and it doesn't sense DataTables at all.

Here are the pieces of my output code that are related to datatables:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://utrip.pickorange.com/wp-content/themes/Lucid/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://utrip.pickorange.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.8.3'></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').dataTable();
} );
</script>

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="example" width="100%">
	<thead>
      <tr>
      	  <th>Date</th>
          <th>Event</th>
          <th>Location</th>
          <th>Age Groups</th>
     </tr>
	</thead>
	<tbody>
      
      <tr>
        <td>02/08/13</td>
       	<td><a id="a_register_link-2" href="http://utrip.pickorange.com/?page_id=5&regevent_action=register&event_id=2&name_of_event=UFC VI - Altamonte Springs">UFC VI - Altamonte Springs</a></td>	
        <td><div class="event_venue" id="venue_id_2"><p class="venue_name">Seminole Softball Complex</p></div></td>
        <td>8U 11U 9U </td>
      </tr>
      
      <tr>
        <td>02/22/13</td>
       	<td><a id="a_register_link-1" href="http://utrip.pickorange.com/?page_id=5&regevent_action=register&event_id=1&name_of_event=North Florida Super NIT">North Florida Super NIT</a></td>	
        <td><div class="event_venue" id="venue_id_1"><p class="venue_name">Southside Recreation Complex</p></div></td>
        <td></td>
      </tr>
      	</tbody>
</table>

This is a wordpress install if that matters. I even copy pasted your example table into the file which also did not work. Can anyone help?
