It is the policy of Eastern Michigan University to provide an educational, employment, and business environment free of unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or communications constituting sexual harassment, as defined and otherwise prohibited by state and federal statutes. Sexual harassment is prohibited at Eastern Michigan University. While sexual harassment often takes place in relationships with a power differential between the persons involved, the University also recognizes that sexual harassment may occur between persons in the absence of such a relationship.
The sexual harassment of University faculty, staff and students by non-University employees and guests doing business or providing services on campus (for example, contractors, vendors, delivery persons) is also prohibited by this policy.
It is the policy of the University that no member of the University community may harass another. Students are entitled to learn in an academic environment free of sexual harassment. However, conduct and pedagogical techniques that reasonably serve legitimate educational purposes do not constitute harassment. In the educational setting within the University, wide latitude for professional judgment in determining the appropriate content and presentation of academic material is required. Those participating in the educational setting bear a responsibility to balance their rights of free expression with a consideration of the reasonable sensitivities of other participants. Therefore, this policy against harassment shall be applied in a manner that protects academic freedom and freedom of expression, including the expression of germane ideas, however controversial, in the classroom setting, academic environment, university-recognized activities, or on the campus. Nothing contained in this policy shall be construed to limit the legitimate exercise of free speech, academic or artistic freedom, including but not limited to written, graphic, or verbal expression that serves legitimate educational or artistic purposes.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment may take many forms - subtle and indirect, as well as blatant and overt. It may consist of repeated actions or may even arise from a single incident if sufficiently extreme. The victim as well as the harasser may be a woman or man. The victim does not have to be of the opposite sex.
Sexual harassment includes any behavior of a sexual nature where:
- submission to such conduct is made, either explicitly or implicitly, a term or condition of an individual's employment, status in a course or program, or participation in an activity;
- submission to, or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for a decision affecting an individual's employment, status in a course or program, or participation in an activity; or
- such conduct is intended to or would objectively be regarded by a reasonable person as unreasonably interfering with an individual's work, academic performance in a course or program, or participation in an activity, or of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working or educational environment.
Depending on the particular circumstances, sexual harassment may include, but is not limited to, the following:
- Physical assaults of a sexual nature, such as rape, sexual battery, molestation, or attempts to commit these assaults; and intentional physical conduct that is sexual in nature such as touching, pinching, patting, grabbing, poking, or brushing against another individual's body.
- Offering or implying an employment-related reward (such as a promotion, raise, or different work assignment) or an education-related reward (such as a better grade, a letter of recommendation, favorable treatment in the classroom, assistance in obtaining employment, grants or fellowships, or admission to any educational program or activity) in exchange for sexual favors or submission to sexual conduct.
- Threatening or taking a negative employment action (such as termination, demotion, denial of an employee benefit or privilege, or change in working conditions) or negative educational action (such as giving an unfair grade, withholding a letter of recommendation, or withholding assistance with any educational activity) or intentionally making the individual's job or academic work more difficult because sexual conduct is rejected.
- The use or display in the classroom or workplace, including electronic, of pornographic or sexually harassing materials such as posters, photos, cartoons or graffiti without pedagogical justification.
- Unwelcome sexual advances, repeated propositions or requests for a sexual relationship to an individual who has previously indicated that such conduct is unwelcome, or sexual gestures, noises, remarks, jokes, questions, or comments about a person's sexuality or sexual experience. Such speech or conduct must be directed against another and either abusive or humiliating, or it must persist despite the objection of the person targeted by the speech or conduct. Such conduct between peers must be sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an educational or working environment that would reasonably be perceived as hostile or abusive. A single incident involving severe misconduct may rise to the level of harassment.
Sexual harassment may occur within a variety of relationships, including classroom situations involving instruction. It may occur among peers. It may occur where no relationship exists between the parties other than the co-employee or co-student relationship. Sexual harassment often occurs where the relationship is characterized by an imbalance of power and authority, including, without limitation, faculty-student, staff-student, and supervisor-employee relationships.
Consensual Sexual Relationships:
Professor and student:
The ideal professor demonstrates respect for students as individuals and serves as students' mentor, intellectual guide, and model of honest academic conduct. The professor acts to ensure academic evaluations of students that reflect each student's true merit. He or she respects the confidential nature of the relationship between professor and student and avoids all forms of exploitation, harassment, and discriminatory treatment of students.
Sexual relations (which include contact of a sexual nature) or requests for sexual relations between students and faculty members with whom they also have a current instructional or evaluative relationship are fraught with the potential for exploitation and must be avoided, and are prohibited. The respect and trust accorded a professor by a student, as well as the power exercised by the professor in an instructional or evaluative role, make voluntary consent by the student suspect. In their relationships with students, members of the faculty are expected to be aware of their professional responsibilities and to avoid apparent or actual conflict of interest, favoritism, or bias.
Supervisor and subordinate employee:
Similar considerations apply to consensual sexual relationships (which include contact of a sexual nature) between supervisors and subordinate employees. Such relationships are also fraught with the potential for exploitation and should be avoided. The power exercised by a supervisor makes voluntary consent by the employee suspect. In their relationships with employees, those in a position of authority are expected to be aware of their professional responsibilities and to avoid apparent or actual conflict of interest, favoritism, or bias. When a consensual sexual relationship develops between adults, effective steps must be taken to ensure unbiased evaluation and supervision of the employee, and the supervisory employee has an obligation to report the relationship to the appropriate supervisor to ensure that such steps are taken. It is a violation of this policy for a supervisory employee who becomes involved in a sexual relationship with a subordinate employee to fail promptly to report the relationship to the appropriate supervisor.
Faculty, faculty member, or professor means all who teach at the University and includes faculty members, lecturers, staff members, graduate students and teaching assistants, and other instructional personnel. The term also includes faculty, staff members, and graduate students whose duties include supervision or evaluation of a student's academic work.
Position of Authority includes situations in which one makes or is responsible for the instruction, supervision, or evaluation of a student for coursework, grades, grants, research funding, or other academic work. The term also includes situations in which one makes or is responsible for the supervision or evaluation of an employee with respect to hiring, performance, discipline, or termination.
Evaluative relationship means one in which the faculty member or supervisor exercises judgment in assessing a student's or employee's skills, qualifications, or abilities for the purpose of making such formal determinations as grades, scholarship determinations, award designations, and formal advisory recommendations.
Responses to Violations of Policies
Protection Against Retaliation
No individual involved in the complaint procedure shall suffer retaliation as a result of such participation. Retaliation exists when action is taken against a complainant or participant in the complaint process which affects his or her employment, academic, or business status which is motivated in whole or in part by his or her participation in the process. Retaliation may be found even where the underlying complaint is found to have no merit.
Disciplinary Actions for Violation of the Sexual Harassment Policy
Faculty and staff/employees who violate this policy are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including discharge. Students who violate the policy are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion in accordance with the provisions of the University's Student Conduct Code. Guests and other persons who violate the policy are subject to corrective action, which may include removal from campus and termination of contractual arrangements.
Malicious Allegations/Complaints; False Information
Any individual who knowingly files a false complaint under this policy, or who knowingly provides false information to or intentionally misleads University officials who are investigating a complaint, may be subject to disciplinary and/or corrective action.
To the extent permitted by law, the confidentiality of each party involved in a sexual harassment investigation, complaint, or charge will be observed, provided it does not interfere with the University's ability to investigate the allegations or take corrective action.
The University's policy on Sexual Harassment and Other Prohibited Conduct is based on shared values and collective responsibility to respect all individuals who are part of the University's community or who participate in any way in our learning environment. This policy also reflects the University's commitment to creating and maintaining an environment that values diversity and is free from conflicts of interest.
An employee, faculty member, or student who believes that he/she is the victim of sexual harassment or that the University's policy on Sexual Harassment and Other Prohibited Conduct has been violated may seek information and assistance from the Office of Diversity and Affirmative Action or the Office of Student Judicial Services. If the employee, faculty member, or student wishes to file a complaint, she/he may take the following action(s):
- If the alleged harasser or violator of this policy is an employee, faculty member, or guest, the affected individual(s) may contact the Office of Diversity and Affirmative Action.
- If the alleged harasser or violator of this policy is a student, the affected individual(s) may contact the Office of Student Judicial Services.
The University takes seriously and will investigate all complaints made pursuant to its Sexual Harassment policy. Individuals who are accused of violating the University's Sexual Harassment and Other Prohibited Conduct policy will be provided with the opportunity to hear and respond to the charges made against them.
The University will employ generally accepted principles of progressive discipline in regards to any faculty member or other employee who, following investigation and hearing, is found by the University to have engaged in sexual harassment warranting disciplinary action. Depending on the circumstances of the particular case, disciplinary action may warrant verbal warning, written warning, suspension with or without pay, or, in the most serious cases, termination of employment.
All members of the University community and guests are responsible for knowing and understanding the University's Sexual Harassment and Other Prohibited Conduct policy. Employees and faculty members who do not understand the policy should contact their department head or director. Department heads or directors who need assistance in understanding, interpreting, or applying the policy should contact the Office of Diversity and Affirmative Action. Students who do not understand the policy should contact the Office of Student Judicial Services.
Copies of the policy and procedures will be posted on the web sites of the Office of Diversity and Affirmative Action, the Office of Student Judicial Services, Human Resources, and the Office of the Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs. Written copies of this policy will be available in bulk for distribution in these offices and posted on available bulletin boards. All department heads will be supplied with written copies of this policy in bulk and shall be required to post copies on official bulletin boards.
The president of the University is responsible for the overall implementation of this policy. The president is authorized to adopt and implement appropriate complaint and enforcement procedures. Each vice president, dean, director, department head, and other supervisory personnel has responsibility for implementation of this policy within their areas of responsibility. The director of diversity and affirmative action, director of student judicial services, executive director of human resources and assistant vice president for academic affairs are responsible for the administration and enforcement of this policy.
This policy applies to all University employees, faculty, students, and other members of the University community as well as contractors, consultants, and vendors doing business or providing services on campus.

By Katrina Gay, NAMI Director of Communications
As Thomas Moore, the Irish poet, once said, "To the soul, there is hardly anything more healing than friendship."
And here at the 32nd NAMI Annual Convention in Chicago, it is clear that it is the friendships that truly matter.
Each summer, people gather at the convention from across the country and the world to inspire one another and gain knowledge about mental illness. They come to connect with old friends and make new ones, to share their stories of struggle and triumph and to contribute to the thoughts and ideas that encapsulate NAMI.
This year, the NAMI Annual Convention welcomes a crowd of more than 2,300 individuals, families and others affected by mental illness.
They come for a short repose from the important work they do as advocates and community leaders and reflect on what they have achieved, how far they have come and what the vision for the future should be.
It becomes evident to everyone here that NAMI is more than an organization. We are a community. A family. A movement.
At pre-convention activities on Wednesday, July 6, early arrivals were inspired by one another as well as by opportunities to engage with author and mental health leader Elyn Saks.
Elyn spoke to a standing room only crowd, sharing her personal story of living with schizophrenia and recounting excerpts from her book, The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey through Madness, which chronicles her life with the illness as well as her successes both personally and professionally.
The recipient of a John D. and Catherine T. MacAuthur Foundation Fellowship -- also known as a "genius grant" -- Elyn has established the Saks Institute for Mental Health Law, Policy and Ethics located at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. Her work will continue to make a difference and change the way we understand mental illness as part of the human condition.
Through her intimate interactions with the audience, Elyn offered encouragement and inspiration to all in attendance.
Luckily for us, this is just the beginning. There are still three more jam-packed days of events.
At the NAMI Convention, one realizes that NAMI's generations span the challenges we have faced in the past and those that we face in years ahead. And as tough as things gets, belief and friendship are part of NAMI's heart.
As we celebrate our successes and prepare for the challenges that remain, it is our common experiences with mental illness that unite us.
It is our dedication to NAMI and to one another that are the essence of the NAMI Annual Convention.
For those not at the convention, highlights will be posted on NAMI's website and feeds will be shared through Twitter and Facebook.

THE PARTY Frank Ski's Ninth Annual Celebrity Wine Tasting & Live Auction certainly lived up to its name, with A-listers like Stevie Wonder, actor Boris Kodjoe and Mayor Kasim Reed in attendance. The event was hosted by record executive Kevin Liles, along with his wife Erika, and was held at Frank Ski's Restaurant & Lounge. THE SCENE Attendees dug into their pockets to bid on extravagant items, such as the chance to swim with sharks at the Georgia Aquarium, a full wine-tasting experience at Napa's Opus One Wineries, Stevie Wonder's harmonica (which sold for $11,000) and even full-bred French bulldogs. Proceeds benefited the Frank Ski Kids Foundation. Photography by Ben Rose

THIS RECIPE was always one of my family's favorites, and it remains so for my husband and me. When we plan a trip by car, I make the frittata the night before, stuff it into pita bread in the morning and microwave each one for a minute or two. Then I wrap them in a towel, and down the road an hour or so, we enjoy a still-warm breakfast! -Carol Blumenberg, Lehigh Acres, Florida
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
- In an 8-in. ovenproof skillet over medium heat, cook onion and zucchini in oil until crisp-tender. Beat eggs and salt; pour over the top. Cook until almost set, 6-7 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350° for 4-5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 2 servings.

2009 (Senior):
A star player on the 2008 National Championship team, Cochran was expected to do big things as the Sun Devils tried to repeat as Champions. She compiled a .410 batting average in 66 games with 64 hits. She hit an amazing 20 home runs and drove in 59 runs. Cochran was walked 64 times, most of those intentional on her way to one of the greatest seasons in Sun Devil Softball history. She led the Devils in Runs (69), Total Bases (135), slugging percentage (.865), and on-base percentage (.603). Led a young squad to the Women's College World Series for the second year in a row.
She stacked up the accolades at the end of her final season at ASU garnering First Team All-America honors. She was also named Pac-10 Player of the Year. She is only the second player in Pac-10 history to be named the Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year in her freshmen season and then go on to earn Pac-10 Player of the Year in her Sophomore, Junior, and Senior season. She was a finalist for the USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year Award.
After her illustrious career as a Sun Devil was over, she was drafted No. 1 overall in the 2009 NPF Draft by Washington - becoming the second-straight Sun Devil to be drafted No. 1 overall (Katie Burkhart in 2008).
2008 (Junior):
Had 29 intentional walks over the 2008 season, a new NCAA record, besting Stacey Neuveman's 28, ten of then coming in the NCAA Tournament alone and six in the World Series. Her dominance at the plate never waned though, as she still hit .439 on the season with 14 home runs and 51 RBIs for an amazing slugging percentage of .838. Her name now graces both Pac-10 and NCAA single-season and career lists with another season left to build on them. In addition to her third consecutive NFCA First-Team All-American Award, she was also named to her third straight Pac-10 first team and is the first player in Pac-10 history to win Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year and then consecutive back-to-back Pac-10 Player of the Year Awards. Kaitlin was named to the Pac-10 All-Academic First Team and the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine All- Academic District VIII Second Team.
2007 (Sophomore):
In 2007, Kaitlin hit .492 on the season, which helped her claim the 2007 NCAA National Batting Title as well as her second Pac-10 batting title in as many years. Her .492 average places her seventh all-time in Pac-10 history and her career average of .464 places her fourth all-time in Pac-10 career history as well. In ASU records, Kaitlin sits atop the single-season records of batting average (.492), home runs (18), RBI (61), and hits (92). In career ASU records, Kaitlin is first in batting average (.456), second in home runs (50), second in RBI (171), 5th in hits (251), 3rd in doubles (43) and fourth in stolen bases (50). Cochran was also honored again in 2007 by the Pac-10, this time with the Player of the Year award. Her talents at the plate were well known and feared by opponents as she was walked 59 times on the season good for 10th in Pac-10 history and 15 times intentionally, which is eighth all-time in NCAA history.
2006 (Freshman):
Named First-Team All-American accolades and Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year.
High School:
Cochran also had a stellar high school career at Rosary High School. Katie was a four-time All-Sierra League First Team member, as well as a three-time member of the First Team All-County squad. During her senior season, she was named the Sierra League MVP, and earned First Team All-State, First Team All-Region and All-American honors. She chose ASU because of the Sun Devils reputation of being one of the top softball programs in the nation and also for a chance to compete in the Pac-10.
Kaitlin Elizabeth Cochran was born to Patrick Donna on February 29, 1987 in Riverside, California. She also has two older sisters, Lauren and Sheena and is majoring in math with the hopes of one day becoming a math professor and a college softball coach.

Sun Devils Dominate 23rd-Ranked Cardinal
STANFORD, Calif. - Pressure, pressure, pressure. The Arizona State Sun Devils swarmed over the Stanford Cardinal, forcing the Cardinal offense to cough up the ball on numerous occasions. The Sun Devils ended the Cardinal's five-game home winning streak by defeating the Cardinal 31-14 in front of 43,909 at Stanford Stadium.

(Game Stats)
"We just come out strong," said linebacker Pat Tillman. "We knew we had to come out physical and we eventually wore them down."
Turnovers were a big key to the Sun Devils' victory. The Sun Devils' defensive unit forced four fumbles, recovering three of them. They also pulled down two interceptions in the first half, but the most telling statistic may be third-down conversions. Stanford was only able to convert twice on third down of the 13 times they tried. The Sun Devils also recorded four sacks on Cardinal quarterbacks.
The defense allowed 399 total yards during the game, but made key plays on fourth down. The Cardinal was only able to convert 1 of 4 on fourth down conversions. Arizona State's run defense disrupted Stanford's rushing game, allowing just 114 yards. The Cardinal also threw for 285 yards.
Stanford head coach Tyrone Willingham offered his thoughts after the game.
He said, "We started off in a tentative fashion. When you don't control the line of scrimmage from the start, it makes it difficult to get everything else going."
The defense was lead by senior linebacker Pat Tillman, who had 11 tackles and one interception. The other interception came from safety Mitchell Freedman, his second of the season. Senior defensive tackle Jeremy Staat also had a big day with four tackles, all for losses and two sacks. The other two sacks were recorded by defensive tackle Vince Amey and rush end Malchi Crawford.
A trademark balanced offense kept the Sun Devils driving down the field. ASU had 454 yards of total yardage. 259 of those yards were gained on the ground without the services of sophomore J.R. Redmond, who did not make the trip due to injury. ASU still had two rushers with over 100 yards, and neither of them had any runs for losses. All of ASU's touchdowns came on the ground.
Tailbacks Michael Martin and Marlon Farlow paved the way for ASU, never giving up a single inch. Martin had 124 yards on the day and one touchdown, moving the ball an average of 5.4 yards per carry. Farlow, who received more playing time due to an injury to J.R. Redmond, had a career day with 129 yards, including a 60-yard scramble for his only touchdown of the game.
Farlow said after the game, "I think I took advantage of the opportunity, but I could have done a lot more. There were a lot of things I wanted to do. In time, I'll be able to prove myself and do more things."
Flyback Jeff Paulk also ran for 12 yards and a career-high two touchdowns. All three of Paulk's rushing touchdowns in his career have been against Stanford. ASU running backs gave up only ten yards on the ground for the day.
Quarterback Ryan Kealy kept pushing the Sun Devils down the field. He had 195 yards, completing 14 of 36 and throwing one interception. Receivers Lenzie Jackson and Kenny Mitchell both had four catches for 82 yards and 62 yards respectively. Jackson has now caught a pass in 20 consecutive games.
The Sun Devils got off to a quick start in the first half. On their first drive, the Sun Devils marched 82 yards in under four minutes for the first touchdown of the game. Michael Martin rumbled seven yards into the endzone to make the score 7-0.
Both teams would push back and forth for the rest of the first quarter to no avail. After a quick start, it looked like the Sun Devils would stumble like earlier in the season. Quarterback Ryan Kealy was sacked by defensive end Kailee Wong to end the first quarter. On their next drive, after receiving good field position from a short punt, Kealy moved the Sun Devils to Stanford's 11-yard line. Aiming for the endzone, his pass was intercepted by cornerback Corey Hill, who returned it 30 yards. On the second play of the ensuing drive, running back Anthony Bookman broke through for a 70-yard run and a touchdown to tie the score at 7-7.
The momentum seemed to be in Stanford's favor, but in college football, mistakes can cost games. Two drives later, Anthony Bookman, the same player who shifted the momentum of the game, would alter the momentum again. Threatening to score at ASU's 20-yard line, quarterback Chad Hutchinson handed the ball off to Bookman, and, trying to break open another big run, fumbled the ball. ASU linebacker Stephen Trejo pounced on the ball to give the Sun Devils possession. ASU marched down to the two-yard line to set up a two-yard run by Jeff Paulk for the touchdown and the lead.
"Were starting to become a real resilient team, like last year," said head coach Bruce Snyder. "Maybe we're picking up on that. I hope that's the case."
Snyder didn't have to hope for long. The momentum kept going the Sun Devil's way. On Stanford's next drive, linebacker Pat Tillman intercepted Hutchinson's pass at the Stanford 34-yard line. ASU would push to the Stanford 29-yard line to set up a Robert Nycz field goal to make the score, 17-7.
With a minute and some change left on the clock, Stanford needed to move the ball down the field quickly to keep the Sun Devils from running away with the game. Hutchinson moved the Stanford offense to ASU's 42-yard line. With seconds to go in the half, Hutchinson heaved the ball towards the endzone. ASU safety Mitchell Freedman hauled down the pass to end the half.
The second half would start off quietly, with both teams fighting to gain momentum. At the beginning of Stanford's third drive, receiver Troy Walters would haul in a pass and advance two yards before fumbling it away to ASU at the Stanford 25-yard line. ASU, hoping to take advantage of good field position, pushed ahead to set up a 39-yard field goal attempt by Robert Nycz, but the kick was blocked by Stanford tight end Tommy Hanson.
Stanford, however, was unable to capitalize and ASU would return the punt to their own 17-yard line to open their drive. ASU would pick away at the Stanford defense to move to the Stanford 2-yard line. Flyback Jeff Paulk plowed through the line for his second touchdown of the game, making the score 24-7.
In their next two drives, Stanford would push into a fourth down and one situation and a fourth and long situation. Looking to get back into the game, the Cardinal pushed for the first down on both occasions, only to be turned back by the ASU defense.
ASU would score halfway through the fourth quarter. Starting from their own 28-yard line, ASU would break down the field in four plays for the score. The big play came from tailback Marlon Farlow, who broke through and exploded for a 60-yard touchdown run to make the game 31-7.
Stanford had just over seven minutes to try to make the game look respectable. With back up quarterback Todd Husak now at the helm, the Cardinal pushed 81 yards to close in on ASU, 31-14. Back up running back Mike Mitchell bounced into the endzone on a two-yard run.
The two teams would push for the rest of the game and end the affair at 31-14.
Head coach Bruce Snyder is now 4-1 versus Stanford while at ASU. ASU has won three consecutive games at Stanford and is now 5-2 at Stanford Stadium.
"This game was important," Snyder said after the game. "It was in a lot of ways, so huge, so unbelievable. We had the Washington loss which kind of put us behind the eight ball to go to the Rose Bowl. To come in here and win, and I think Stanford had the intangibles--playing at home and coming off a loss, was great. We were focused and determined and the win keeps us in the race for a major bowl game and even the Rose Bowl."

Stetson's Shanasa Sanders ending college hoops career on high note
Senior guard's impact helped Hatters reach NCAA tourney
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 11:57 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 3:57 p.m.
Shanasa "Noc" Sanders didn't get picked for the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Tournament team despite averaging more than 15 points and seven rebounds in Stetson's three-game run to the title two weeks ago.
Stetson vs. UCLA
WHAT: NCAA tournament first-round game
WHERE: Ohio State University's St. John Arena, Columbus, Ohio
WHEN: 1:30 p.m. Saturday
RECORDS: Stetson 24-8, UCLA 25-7
SERIES RECORD: First meeting
TV: ESPN2 (also online on ESPN3)
COACHES: Stetson, Lynn Bria; UCLA, Cori Close
KEY PLAYERS: Stetson – Sr. G Victoria McGowan (16.0 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 4.2 apg), Sr. G Shanasa Sanders (14.0 ppg, 6.6 rpg), Jr. F Sasha Sims (12.0 ppg, 4.0 rpg); UCLA – Jr. F Atonye Nyingifa (11.4 ppg, 7.1 rpg), Sr. F Alyssia Brewer (11.2 ppg, 7.7 rpg), Sr. G Markel Walker (10.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 5.6 apg)
HOW THEY GOT THERE: Stetson won the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament and the league's automatic bid; UCLA received an at-large bid after reaching the championship game of the Pac-12 Conference Tournament
But the senior guard got something more valuable: A trip to the NCAA tournament.
"I wouldn't trade the (A-Sun) championship for anything in the world," Sanders said Thursday in a phone interview from Columbus, Ohio, where the No. 14 seed Hatters (24-8) will face No. 3 seed UCLA (25-7) at 1:30 p.m. Saturday (ESPN2, also online on ESPN3) in a first-round game.
"That's the ultimate goal – to win the (A-Sun) championship and play in the NCAA tournament. I know I had a great (A-Sun) tournament. I was glad I was able to help my team, so I really don't care about (not getting picked for the all-tourney team)."
Stetson coach Lynn Bria was still steamed this week over Sanders getting snubbed. The Hatters beat Florida Gulf Coast 70-64, but the Eagles had three players chosen for all-tournament honors. Stetson had two – senior guard Victoria McGowan and junior forward Sasha Sims.
"When (Sanders) didn't make the all-tournament team, I was very upset," Bria said. "How she doesn't make the all-tournament team, I'm just baffled. 'Noc' averaged better than 15 points and seven rebounds. ... 'Noc' should have been on there. That kid finished up at a very high level. She is playing the best basketball that I have ever seen her play."
The 5-foot-7 senior guard was selected as the A-Sun's Achiever Award winner for February, when she won two conference player of the week honors and averaged 17.3 points and 7.1 rebounds in eight games. The Achiever Award goes to the top vote getter in an online poll with nominations from team and individual performances among all A-Sun sports.
"No question that she raised her game," Bria said. "Another thing people don't realize is she always has the hardest defensive assignment. She always guards the other team's best player, best scorer, best rebounder. She is our best defender. I know most players don't get a lot of credit for that, but she is a huge reason why we are in the big dance."
Sanders transferred from Cincinnati to Stetson to play her final two years. Returning to Ohio for the NCAA tourney is an added bonus for the Jacksonville product.
"I'm still close with most of my old teammates at Cincinnati, so a few of them are going to be at the game," Sanders said. "It feels good to come back here and play in front of some of my friends that I went to school with in Ohio."
Without a doubt, Sanders' Cincinnati friends will notice she's a much stronger player. She's elevated her game not only from the time she was with the Bearcats, but even after her junior season with Stetson. Her current averages of 14.0 points and 6.6 rebounds are career highs.
"Basically, last year I felt like I didn't give it my all, and we ended up losing pretty bad in the A-Sun championship (67-39 to FGCU), so I reevaluated myself and realized I just needed to get better all around, become a better player mentally and physically," Sanders said.
So she pounded the weights, and when she hit the court for pickup games in the summer she did so with groups of players who would challenge her more physically, she said.
"I practiced against grown men, so that helped me get stronger," Sanders said.
Her improved play this season has inspired her to alter her plans following graduation in May.
"I want to play pro ball overseas," said the player who is a double major in business administration and sport management.
But first, Sanders and the Hatters have work to do in the NCAA tournament.

Wilmington police are investigating a drive-by shooting early Wednesday morning on Wrightsville Avenue in which a car and building were struck by bullets, but no injuries reported.
The incident was reported at 4:24 a.m., said Linda Rawley, Wilmington Police Department spokeswoman. She said several 911 calls reported a drive-by shooting in the area of Oleander Drive and Wilshire Boulevard.

Post subject: Book suggestions for Newbies
A friend of mine is a nurse and she asked me to recommend some romance novels for her to read at work.
Can you suggest a few of your favorites...I would like to give her 5 titles so she's not overwhelmed and then after she tells me what she likes I can help her find more.

I am a fan of Julie Garwood, she is a funny writer. I have found myself almost laughing out loud while reading her. She has both historicals and Contemps. Another Julie that I think is funny is Julia Quinn, she has historicals and series. Both authors have some new stuff out, but with some mixed reviews, but I have to say in general if the read wants a well developed story and well writen humor those two do it for me.

I recommend Double Play by Jill Shalvis. That is a very funny book. Contemporary.
I also recommend Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. YA Paranormal with werewolves, and a sweet romance. It is the first in a trilogy, however I do not recommend the other books in the trilogy and believe this books stands beautifully on its own.
Running Hot by Jayne Ann Krentz is funny, contemporary, and also paranormal in the sense that the main characters all have psychic abilities. It is part of the Arcane series but I think it is fine alone without having read the others.
Nalini Singh's Psy/Changeling series is excellent. Paranormal. I recommend the first one, Slave to Sensation. I do not recommend reading those out of order.
Rachel and the Hired Gun by Elaine Levine. Western historical. I just loved this story. There are more and I have them on my TBR pile but I have not gotten to them yet.
I second these recommendations from others:
Moon Called by Patricia Briggs
Not Quite a Husband by Sherry Thomas
Bitten by Kelley Armstrong
books by Julia Quinn. She is hilarious!!
I also recommend Frostbitten by Kelley Armstrong. That is my favorite of the series and I think it stands alone pretty well (I only read the werewolf books in that series).

Since your friend is a nurse, she might enjoy
Virgin River
by Robyn Carr. The heroine is a nurse midwife, but it's not set in a hospital so she wouldn't be totally reading about a work related situation.
Some other books I've enjoyed without necessarily any relationship to your friend's profession:
It Had to Be You
by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
by Judith McNaught
The Second Coming of Lucy Hatch
by Marsha Moyer
Honest Illusions
by Nora Roberts
Small Town Girl
by LaVyrle Spencer
Slow Heat in Heaven
by Sandra Brown
All I Ever Wanted
by Kristan Higgins
Kill and Tell
by Linda Howard
Just the Sexiest Man Alive
by Julie James
The Love of a Cowboy
by Anna Jeffrey
by Diana Gabaldon (Heroine is a nurse.)
Sweet Everlasting
by Patricia Gaffney (Hero is a doctor.)
by Kathleen Givens
After Innocence
by Brenda Joyce
For My Lady's Heart
by Laura Kinsale
The Promise of Jenny Jones
by Maggie Osborne
A Wild Yearning
by Penelope Williamson
Eyes of Silver, Eyes of Gold
by Ellen OConnell
A Company of Swans
by Eva Ibbotson
George and the Virgin
by Lisa Cach (more fantasy than true historical)
By the way, if she has a kindle, she might try Barbara Samuel's
In the Midnight Rain
. Good book that's not in hard copy print anymore.

Veteran's Certification
At the beginning of each semester, students who are enrolled in a Veteran's Administration approved program may be eligible for benefits through the US Department of Veterans Affairs. All inquiries concerning the certification should be directed to the PTS Registrar's Office. If requested, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary is required to provide copies of grades and academic records to the Veterans Administration without seeking prior approval of the individual veteran. For additional information on this program, please visit the VA website http://www.gibill.va.gov/.
Yellow Ribbon
The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program is a provision of the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. The program is designed to help students avoid paying tuition and fees out-of-pocket that exceed the Post 9/11 GI Bill tuition benefit (up to 100 percent of the public in-state tuition; up to $17,500 a year for private colleges and universities). Schools may participate in the Yellow Ribbon program if their tuition and fees cost exceed the $17,500. Pittsburgh Theological Seminary does NOT qualify for the Yellow Ribbon program because our tuition and fees are LOWER than $17,500. (In 2013-2014, 36 credits plus fees equals $11,520). Please contact the Financial Aid Office with questions.

Organic Agriculture (OA) offers a range of environmental, social and economic benefits for developing countries.
On the economic side, growing world markets for OA products offer interesting export opportunities for developing countries who may have some comparative advantage in OA due to relatively abundant labour and lower use of agrochemicals.
In addition, OA production has been shown to have a positive effect on the local environment, biodiversity and soil fertility, and has the potential to increase the yields and incomes of subsistence farmers in developing countries who are not currently using agrochemicals, thus contributing to poverty reduction and sustainable rural development.
UNCTAD supports interested countries through country projects and thematic research studies aimed at developing win-win policy options through promoting OA and easing access of organic products in overseas markets.

(Editor's note: The following blog contains material unsuitable for audiences in Utah County.)
What is it about Utah that we consistently strive to make ourselves the go-to state for stand-up comedians and news of the weird?
Many had hoped that following the disappearance of adopted-favorite son Mitt Romney and the retirement of zany state Sen. Chris Buttars, we would be no longer be the butt of cheap gags about dogs on car roofs, goofy named kids and embarrassing gaffs about the gays' civilization-ending agenda: "I don't want 'em stuffing it down my throat all the time."
We dreamed of building a new image around high-tech, Olympic-class powder snow, Pac-12 football and, perhaps, just maybe, a little buzz of about an unexpectedly cool place to live.
Then, BOOM. Erectiongate explodes in sleepy Lehi, along with a scandal in suburbs over a school play based on works by two major subversives: Elvis and Shakespeare.
Xactware Solutions Inc. in Lehi asked the city council to change the name Morning Glory Road. The company argued that while morning glory is a pretty flower (Ipomoea acuminata)—it is also a slang term (in Dickensian England?) for a dude's erection upon awakening. "We never knew about the ulterior definitions until that came to light a little while ago," said an official.
The company feared the naughty connotation would overwhelm Xactware's brand in the minds of consumers who might see that the firm is located on Morning Glory Road. (Heh, heh.) Presumably, Beavis and Butthead are major customers of Xactware.
As any 8-year-old can tell you, virtually every phrase in English has a nasty double meaning. Fortunately, they avoided renaming the road as Tea Bag Boulevard or Horn Dog Highway or Choke the Chicken Drive and chose the presumably safe Morning Vista Road.
(How long will it be before dudes start rousing their bedmates with this line: "Hey, honey, wanna see a beautiful Morning Vista?"
The Elvispeare Scandal
Students at Herriman High School were rehearsing "All Shook Up" a play based on the music of Elvis Presley and Bill Shakespeare's shocking play "Twelfth Night." Bill's comedy includes a gag where a young woman dresses as a boy. Hilarity was meant to ensue, but apparently one Herriman parent complained about cross dressing and also had issues with the sexual nature of Elvis' music.
A parent of a student who worked on the production, futilely defended the production: "They're singing Elvis songs. A girl dresses up as a boy and kisses a boy. ... It's not promoting homosexuality. It was supposed to be a farce."
School administrators announced a bowdlerized version of the musical, that would bore even Elizabethan audiences, will go on. Can't wait until the kids tackle "Hamlet."

Your safety is our top priority
Safety is top priority
Because your safety is our top priority, we work to keep radiation doses to patients and staff as low as possible to receive the necessary results.
McKee's low-dose CT scanner and interventional radiology equipment are designed to deliver significantly less radiation than previous models of imaging equipment. Reducing radiation exposure is particularly important for children and others who may undergo multiple imaging exams during their lifetime.
Balancing the risks and benefits
Physicians weigh the benefits and risks of a CT scan prior to ordering one for a patient. It is true that a CT scan delivers significantly more radiation than an X-ray, but the images produced by a CT scan can help diagnose a variety of medical illnesses and disease. In most cases, the benefits of a diagnosis will outweigh any risks associated with the exam. If you have quetions about the need of an imaging exam, please discuss them with your physician.
If you have questions about radiation dosage, please call (970) 820-4067.

Take away the Keller injury, and Miami shows promise at every position
Also, why does Keller's injury have to be anyone's fault. Are we so jaded in Phins Nation that every little thing that happens in a football game is either Tannehill's or Ireland's fault? Get real. Tannehill is getting better every game. I have watched Brady for years, He's thrown hundreds of balls behind his receivers. It happens in football every single game by every single QB. Get over it!
Now to the loss we all never wanted to see. Prior to the season, there were 3 players we couldn't lose on offense - Pouncey, Wallace, and Keller. Losing Dustin Keller could be devastating. He was the safety blanket Tannehill needed. Sims, Egnew and Clay (even Rodriguez) have got to step up. I suspect Ireland will be looking to add a veteran come Monday... Cooley and Boss are available - so is McMichael. None of which are answers in my opinion. And, I know this will sound like sacrilege - Maybe we trade Matt Moore or Randy Starks for a starting caliber TE... We are so deep on the Defensive Line, we do have options.
Had Keller not gone down, I would have been telling you how I now believe that we can play with anyone. Houston is as balanced (and as Good) a team as there is in football. They have both a formidable offense and defense. And, we played them straight up. We can beat them in a real game.
Our Starting Defense did not give up a TD. The 3rd series on Defense was mostly 2nd-string players.
Where are all the Phins lovers on South Florida radio. Every caller is a Hater. I am so sick of you losers... Miami has amassed as good a roster as I have ever seen in 30 years. Yes, we don't have a Brady or a Manning, but we have a guy with enough skills and upside to compete effectively for years.
We have a winning product. Why can't you Ireland and Tannehill Haters see that??? Clear your heads or go root for a the Jets.

People, am I the only one who can see that that sweringen character meant to injury Dustin Keller; "IT WAS INTENTIONAL"! I don't know if he was paid to do it or what; but everyone knows that you do not hit a player low as soon as he lands because you know that his cletes will stick into the turf until he fully makes a move. I believe that the dolphins should lookup David Martin. He was a very good TE for us.
I think David Martin is fat now.... :)
It was rookie trying to make a play. I seriously doubt it was intentional. This is more of a League Rules injury. The NFL keeps trying to protect the high hits, even though leg injuries happen at a 10 to 1 ratio in comparison. They probably saw the effects of continued hits to the head boxers take - Hagler, Holyfield, etc and they said we can't have retired players looking and talking like that...
While the keller injury sucks theres a lot to like about this team.Im more excited than i have been in a long time.Keep the faith dolfans we are on the way up.GO PHINS!!!!!!
LOL - good catch... I do know! I think my auto speller did that. I will correct!
Fellows, it's preseason! There was no reason to hit someone like that; unless you meant to hurt them.. "HE DID IT ON PURPOSE" folks!
HE IS A ROOKIE TRYING TO MAKE A TEAM... However, you are entitled to your opinion.
I haven't watched the game yet but I saw the highlights and the hit in question didn't look dirty.
It certainly wasn't as blatant as Marty Lyons ending Dwight Stephenson's career.
who wants to hit a tight end up high?? You hit them low. this stuff happens so fast.. I think there should be rules about hitting at the side of the knees. Won't stop it but might make players a little more careful.
I just watched the replay over and over and over and over and over... it was so fast - the ball was thrown to the inside, which was a factor... but that happens... Yes, the kid went low - I think that is how they are taught. to avoid hits to head... I could be wrong - I doubt I am. And in slow motion, it does look like he has control, but at full speed the play was wham bam...
who wants to hit a tight end up high?? You hit them low. this stuff happens so fast.. I think there should be rules about hitting at the side of the knees. Won't stop it but might make players a little more careful.
well, I am against any more rules.... exactly on "You hit them low. this stuff happens so fast.."
Even if it is legal it's still a chump play by Swearringer. He know full well legal or not the effects of that type of hit on an unprotected player. I don't care if its legal, I'd love to see some payback to that POS!
Here's My problem with the "hit"...
He led with his helmet. STRIKE 1
He went low and led with his helmet. STRIKE 2
He went low, led with his helmet and aimed for the knee. STRIKE 3
While he may be sorry now, it was an intentional attempt to "tackle" low and he can claim all he wants that it was legal and he wasn't trying to injure.
Doesn't change the fact that it was a cheap shot.
Its football.
I once ran the ball back from the 5 yard line all the way back to the opponents 18 yard line. The guy who finally caught me (a starting WR) was so disgusted, he threw me to the ground awkwardly in an MMA style throw (no flag), where I damaged my shoulder, dislocated, etc (it has never been the same). I played DB the rest of that game. I never missed a play. I hold no grudges. Got an interception on that guy later in the game.
It's football! Now, I never played pro... But the gladiator mentality exists in Football at all levels. It takes a certain kind of person to get on a field and hit someone with all your might... It takes a suspension of right and wrong. There is trash talking and chest flaring, and bone crunching hits. I've had a wrist dislocated and multiple broken fingers, stitches in my arm, head and knee, knees hyper-extended, bruised ribs, broken teeth, big-toe injury and a concussion. It's football. Anyone who plays knows the risks.
It's football!

Let's start with the acting: Phenomenal. Michael Crane was superb in the lead role and his performance was seamless. When he spoke Hamlet's classic soliloquies, it was as if they weren't soliloquies at all. Instead, it seemed like Hamlet was speaking to the audience, addressing everyone like old friends, right there in the room with him.
Really, all of the actors were superb--it's hard to call one out over another. To be honest, I almost want to see the play again because of the quality of the acting.
The set design was wonderful, too. Of course, it was simple (for the most part, a large, marble-esque room), but it made for gorgeous lighting and interesting scene changes, especially when it came to the ephemeral appearances (and disappearances) of the Ghost.
The one rub for me was the time setting of the play, or more so, the costumes. The actors' attire seemed to switch from that of the Victorian era (complete with embellished ballgowns) to, well, if you count the black turtleneck Hamlet wore toward the end of the play, the '50's or '60's. The actors also spoke their lines with modern intonations-very conversational. That was all fine with me, and made the play more relatable.
I just had to stop 'noticing' the costumes so much, and had to let myself go. If anything, I saw Hamlet's more modern attire later in the play as a way to signal his personal evolution as a character. (He had grown up, by then.)
In all, Pioneer Theatre Company put on a fine production. Just prepare to sit and relax for a while and let yourself go.
Hamlet runs through October 2. For tickets and more information, visit pioneertheatre.org or call 801-581-6961.

Expected to be one of the first pieces of legislation President Barack Obama is asked to approve, the second economic recovery package includes healthy allocations for water infrastructure. In addition, Congress is expected to pass the $6.5 billion reauthorization of the Clean Water State Revolving Fund with Obama's support.
The U.S. EPA's 2002 Gap Analysis found that $485 billion to $1.2 trillion is needed over the next two decades to shore up the nation's pipelines — many of which have been untouched for more than a century — and improve treatment facilities to meet the demands of growth and climate change.
"Water professionals have a huge challenge in front of them. They must continue to ensure that the best science, technology, and policies are applied to protect water in their communities," says Rebecca West, president of the Water Environment Federation (WEF). "They must build understanding of water's value, its connection to public health, and the vital need for resources to support smart, sustainable management of the water environment — and that includes infrastructure investment."
Even more funding may come from a Water Trust Fund, an idea floated by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.). He's joined House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chair James Oberstar (D-Minn.) and Water Resources and Environment Subcommittee Chair Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) in asking the General Accounting Office to consider ways to provide at least $10 billion annually to maintain and upgrade existing facilities. They asked that results be available by Jan. 15.
On the regulatory front, an EPA rule that goes into effect next month requires concentrated animal feeding operations to submit a nutrient management plan as part of a Clean Water Act permit application.
Designed to prevent 56 million pounds annually of phosphorus, 110 million pounds of nitrogen, and 2 billion pounds of sediment from entering streams, lakes, and other waters, the regulations have been criticized by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) because of a technicality. Operators may be exempt if they simply claim they don't discharge into waterways. As a result, if a facility does contaminate a waterway, the EPA isn't required to take enforcement action.
The NRDC has indicated that it may challenge the rule in court, according to Tim Williams, managing director for government affairs for WEF.
Another proposed EPA rule, which was issued in November, would regulate stormwater runoff from construction sites by limiting effluent. It would require contractors to install erosion best-management practices that "are generally recognized and accepted as effective." Sites that are 10 acres and larger would have to install sediment basins to treat stormwater discharge.
Several holdovers from the 110th Congress are expected to be reconsidered this year as well, including the Clean Water Restoration Act. It would amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to replace the term "navigable waters" with the term "waters of the United States," defined to include lakes, rivers, wetlands, sloughs, and even roadside drainage ditches. The EPA would govern all activities affecting those waters.
"The question is: How broad is the coverage of the Clean Water Act?" Williams says. Opponents argue that, technically, deleting "navigable" would allow Congress to include even potholes. Oberstar has said that Congress doesn't intend to add new regulations, and he plans to reintroduce the bill.
