Fallout from the sudden resignation of Charleston County Aviation Authority's top official last week continued to reverberate Monday as an airport panel voted 3-0 to recommend the full board look nationwide for a new executive director.
The panel also considered implications from the resignation of Airports Director Sue Stevens for several projects underway at the airport, including an upcoming $170 million bond sale to pay for a massive makeover of the aging terminal at Charleston International and the pending sale of 320 wooded acres to Boeing South Carolina for possible expansion.
Airports Director Sue Stevens submitted her resignation, effective Sept. 30, two years earlier than planned, citing "intolerable" conditions in a letter to board members Monday.
Stevens said her departure from her $211,140-a-year job has "nothing to do with civility or verbal abuse" as cited by board Chairman Andy Savage but about "serious improprieties and unethical behavior" of some board members.
Changes in the board's makeup since 2007 directly affected working conditions, she said.
That's the year Rep. Chip Limehouse co-crafted a law to put the chairman and vice chairman of Charleston County's legislative delegation on the board. He later became chairman and at one point last year seized direct control over Stevens instead of leaving her oversight up to the board. The 13-member board later changed its mind.
"Certain members of the board continue to treat me in a condescending and demeaning manner when I refused to 'play ball,' " Stevens wrote. "I have been restricted in my ability to carry out my duty and responsibilities. Beginning last summer, a pattern of innuendo and unfounded attacks on my reputation has developed.
"I have been falsely accused in public meetings of breaking the rules and not complying with board policy. Numerous false statements have been made that impugn my integrity and infer that I am acting in a deceptive or illegal manner," Stevens said. "These attacks were made to intimidate me with the hope that I would turn my head to the actions of particular board members."
Stevens said she had no choice but to step down. No one has named the board members involved.
Stevens has hired employment attorney Nancy Bloodgood to represent her in case she decides to file suit.
"I remain hopeful that we can resolve this matter amicably and minimize any further harm to all parties," Stevens.
The Aviation Authority has retained employment attorney Rep. Jenny Horne of Summerville. She gave the panel and other board members legal advice in a closed session Monday.
If there is litigation, airport properties and contracts director Rob Carew said the agency has enough insurance to cover the costs.
Attorney Ben Hagood and businessman Michael Stavrinakis voted with committee chairman, former U.S. Rep. Tommy Hartnett, to look nationwide for Stevens' replacement.
Savage, the airport board chairman, has recommended the board move swiftly to name a new director as a show of stability. State Sen. Paul Campbell of Goose Creek, a former Alcoa executive, has been named as a possible replacement.
That caused outgoing airport board member Pat Waters to say, "We immediately looked at a political person when we seem to have a political issue."
The panel also heard from staff members they expect no negative effect from the upheaval on the sale of airport property to Boeing or the upcoming bond sale.
Stevens was an integral part of the deal earlier this year to sell airport-owned property along International Boulevard in North Charleston to the aerospace giant for $12.5 million for possible future expansion. The Federal Aviation Administration is questioning the land purchase over the price and the repositioning of roads and a radar site.
The full board will meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday to take up Stevens' departure.
Deputy Airports Director Bill New is serving as interim director through Dec. 31, when he plans to retire.

Of The Post and Courier staff
Archaeologists digging out the Confederate submarine Hunley
finally made contact with the crew, recovering two buttons that were sitting upside down
and inches apart on what appears to be a wooden bench.
The buttons, made of either copper or brass, are the first
artifacts recovered in the excavation of the Hunley. They are about the size of a quarter
and feature an ornate and flowing capital letter "A" cast in 19th-century
It's too early to determine what the "A" stands for,
but it could denote its owner was in the artillery or more likely that he came from the
state of Alabama, where the sub, her captain - Lt. George Dixon - and some of the other
Hunley sailors originated.
"Cool stuff here today," said project manager Bob
Neyland at the sub's conservation lab on the former Navy Base in North Charleston.
The wooden plank, discovered on the sub's port side, might be
something as simple as a shelf, but Neyland said more likely it is the bench or a piece of
a bench that members of the crew sat on as they cranked the sub's propeller shaft.
It was found at a downward angle and may have been intentionally
positioned that way for comfort to the men, or it may have collapsed after 137 years of
being submerged, Neyland said.
For overnight protection the plank was recovered with wet mud.
Meanwhile, the buttons, though tarnished, are in remarkably good
shape, Neyland said, adding that the eyelets appear ready to be sewed back onto clothing.
It is not clear how they got to be sitting on the bench since no
other piece of clothing has so far been found in the area. They might have been part of a
jacket that either rotted away or might have fallen to the floor of the sub and is buried
there, Neyland said.
It took more than four hours to remove them because they had to
be mapped and photographed. For preservation purposes, they were dunked in fresh water to
prevent further corrosion and may be made available for media pictures today.
"It is both chilling and exciting to think that the last
person to touch these buttons was in the midst of victory 137 years ago," said Warren
Lasch, chairman of Friends of the Hunley.
The two pieces were found by Hunley team archaeologists Mike
Scafuri while he was working in an area near the center of the crew compartment. Eight men
sat in the crew section on the night of Feb. 17, 1864, and cranked the Hunley's propeller
shaft when it attacked and sank the blockade ship USS Housatonic.
About 80 buckets of silt have been cleaned out of the sub this
week as archaeologists attempt to bring down the sediment level inside the crew
compartment. As the silt is removed, it is sifted through screens and during sifting work
Thursday work crews also found a small rubber gasket that could have helped seal any
number of points or mechanics inside the sub. Several small fragments of leather also were
In the next two weeks, scientists hope to have gone deep enough
to find the crank shaft. But Thursday's discovery of the buttons helps prove that
"everything that went out with the sub and went down with the sub is still in the
sub," Neyland said.

A 20-year-old Platteville man was killed in a traffic crash Monday morning on U.S. 85 on the south edge of Gilcrest.
The Weld County Coroner's Office identified the victim as Remmington Reinick. The crash occurred about 6:20 a.m. at the intersection of U.S. 85 and Weld County Road 40.
Reinick was driving a 1994 Buick sedan eastbound on Weld 40 when he collided with a southbound vehicle driven by Reynaldo Jaquez, 23, of Greeley, according to Colorado State Patrol. Reinick was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, according to the coroner's office. Jaquez suffered moderate injuries and was not transported to a hospital, said Trooper Nate Reid, spokesman for the Colorado State Patrol.
Reid said Reinick was wearing a seat belt, and investigators do not believe drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash.
Reinick graduated from Roosevelt High School. He is listed as a sophomore sprinter for the 2012-13 track and field team at Hastings College in Nebraska. His personal record is 50.73 seconds in the 400-meter.
Reinick's mother, Tania Reinick, is a kindergarten teacher at Letford Elementary School in Johnstown. His major at Hastings College is listed as elementary education.
Reinick is the 13th person to die on a Weld County road this year, the sixth in the last month. By this time last year, 21 people had died in crashes in the county.

A local study of the safety and efficacy of angioplasty to treat multiple sclerosis has found that the intervention, sometimes called "liberation therapy," did not improve patient outcomes and, in a few cases, made symptoms worse.
Buffalo researchers say the trial is the first rigorous study of angioplasty for chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency, or CCSVI, a treatment that has gained worldwide attention since 2009 when an Italian researcher, Dr. Paolo Zamboni, found a relationship between MS and signs of abnormal blood drainage in veins.
The theory upset current thinking on MS, a disease thought to be the result of an abnormal immune system attacking the brain, nerves and spinal cord. Some doctors rushed to perform balloon angioplasty or place stents in veins to reduce MS symptoms, even though the theory remained unproven and Zamboni's work involved few patients and was uncontrolled, meaning there was not another group studied to compare results.
University at Buffalo researchers will present their findings March 20 at the annual American Academy of Neurology meeting in San Diego.
The study's key finding is that while the treatment is safe and was not necessarily associated with serious adverse events, it did not provide sustained improvement in MS patients.
"Simply dilating a vein with a balloon does not have any overt beneficial effect, and we found increased disease activity in MRI scans, suggesting that the procedure may actually do harm," said Dr. Adnan Siddiqui, associate professor of neurosurgery in the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and the principal investigator.
Currently, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society says getting a procedure for CCSVI is a personal decision that MS patients should make in consultation with their doctors. Based on their findings, the UB researchers said angioplasty should only be offered to MS patients for CCSVI in the context of a randomized, controlled study, the gold standard in research.
"Our strong recommendation to patients and to practitioners who have, in earnest, been seeking betterment for their disease and a cure for MS is that they should instead consider enrolling in trials, rather than undergoing these procedures on a fee-for-service basis," said Siddiqui.
Since 2009, approximately 30,000 MS patients worldwide have undergone the endovascular procedure that opens blockages in veins that drain blood from the brain, most of them not in trials, according to the researchers.
One of the limitations of the study is its small size. Only 30 MS patients, most of them from Western New York, were studied in what the researchers described as a pilot study.
"This is not the last word on this endovascular treatment for MS," Siddiqui said.
"We need a larger study to confirm that the results are not related to the sample size in our trial."
The study was funded by Kaleida Health, UB, the Direct MS Foundation of Canada, Volcano Corp., ev3 Corp. and individual donors.
Dr. Timothy Coetzee, chief research officer at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, said there have been conflicting results reported on the prevalence of CCSVI in MS, and the emergence of reports of CCSVI in people who do not have MS.

Christmas Eve in Preston County, 1938-The Hemlock forest outside Aurora is full of laughter, and music. Through the snowy trees a cabin is aglow, with about 12 people gathered inside. This was the Youghiogheny Forest Colony.
"They all seem to have been characters, and inventive, and also determined not to be beat down by the Depression," says Viola Wentzel, whose husband Volkmar came to Youghiogheny as a runaway teenager from Germany.
"It was their way of survival. They loved it up here. And when they couldn't work at their chosen jobs in Washington, they did other things like paint or write or have a good time at Lottie's Tavern."
Article Photos
Submitted photo
'Cabin in Winter' is a photo by artist Volkmar Wentzel who lived for a time in the Youghiogheny Forest.
Lottie's Tavern was the gathering space for the group of artists and intellectuals who came to stay on the forest property of geologist Frank Reeves and his wife Lottie. It was here that Volkmar Wentzel was encouraged to continue his photography when first lady Eleanor Roosevelt stopped by the Tavern and bought three of his postcards.
The small informal gathering existed between the years of 1935-1942 and called itself the Youghiogheny Forest Colony, named after the nearby Youghiogheny River. While the Great Depression was hitting hard in the cities, Lottie convinced her artists and intellectual friends from D.C. to come and live in the hills of West Virginia, where the price of living was much cheaper. The group pooled their resources and raised some of their own food, while still earning some money through part-time jobs. Some of the residents at Youghiogheny included WPA muralist Robert Gates, sculptor Joe Goethe and architects, Arved Kundzin, Eric Menke and Thomas Hood.
Those who stayed at Youghiogheny often gathered in Lottie's Tavern for their meals, enjoying the brief spell of that place that was a combination of good conversation, the smell of the ancient pines, and, surely, their emotional ties to an outside world that was changing rapidly. It was around this communal table, often with drink in hand, that the fluctuating crowd at the Youghiogheny Forest enjoyed a momentary escape away from the clang of what would be, and the troubles that challenged the unsteady world.
Mrs. Wentzel recalls one particular story her husband told about a Youghiogheny tradition of driving a hot goose down from D.C. on Christmas Eve. "There was a Bavarian Restaurant on Pennsylvania Avenue. He would order a roasted goose and red cabbage and all the trimmings that go with it, then wrap it into a feather quilt so that it would stay hot. Then they would drive, I don't know if they had speed limits then, then they would drive like crazy uphill so that the goose was still warm."
Volkmar Wentzel worked as a celebrated photographer for National Geographic for 48 years. In 2001, he and Viola helped to establish the Aurora Project, an artists' residency project near the former Youghiogheny Forest Colony. A few of the cabins from the Youghiogheny Forest Colony are still standing within a few miles of the Wentzel home. In 2006, Volkmar Wentzel passed away.

Declining Kozlov? He had four 70 point seasons after he left Detroit, just two whilst he was a Wing.
But whatever, I think trading for arguably the greatest goaltender of all time classes as blockbuster.
I just think of a blockbuster trade as involving multiple players and being somewhat of a risk on both sides. To me, pulling the trigger on the Hasek for Kozlov deal was more of a no brainer. Buffalo wanted to get rid of the salary and Detroit had no problem spending money. Detroit was somewhat set with their top 6 and getting rid of Kozlov allowed them to sign Hull and Robitaille. Kozlov did end up finishing strong with Atlanta, but he had pretty much reached his full potential in Detroit. I think it was more of the situation he was in with an expansion team. Not in any way saying Kozlov was a poor player. I was a fan of his. But I don't think many GM's would have thought twice about swapping him for Hasek if money were no object.
Holland generally likes to play it safe when trades are involved. I like the idea of the Buffalo trade. Unlike most of the proposed roster moves, it's actually plausible and makes sense. Unfortunately, I don't know as though Holland would trade Quincey, because it would be pretty much admitting a mistake. In Holland's defense, I don't think anyone could have predicted how much Quincey would regress.

A new Ball State University study has found that Indiana's average personal income lags more than a decade behind the rest of the nation.
Ball State researchers looked at Indiana's 2010 wages and after adjusting for inflation they assigned each county the year in which its standard of living equaled that of the nation as a whole.
The study found that Indiana's average per capita income is equal to the 1996 national level.
The director of Ball State's Center for Business and Economic Research, Michael Hicks, said the findings are important because income levels are a measure of standard of living.
He says a higher standard of living means people can spend more time with their kids and can afford better health care.

Dear Colleagues:
We have officially kicked off the budget process for the 2014-15 fiscal year. I met with Budget Goals and Plans, and they are re-working the official request form to make it more user-friendly and to incorporate links to the new Strategic Plan. The new form should be available shortly. We will be tweaking the process a little this year, separating one-time funding requests from recurring requests. At this time, we are asking only for the requests for recurring funding. The one-time budget process will begin in the spring to better align with our ability to forecast reserve balances.
Last year we had 144 requests totaling nearly $8 million. We approved 28 requests (totaling about $1.2 million) in recurring funding and 12 requests (totaling about $900,000) in one-time funds. The list of requests (funded and not-funded) may be found on my.newpaltz.edu in the Budget Information Center under the Faculty/Staff Services tab.
As we look forward to fiscal year 2014-15, we hope to fine-tune the budget request process. The Provost, Deans and I discussed how to scale expectations to available resources, which at first blush appear to be far more modest than the past two years. The primary reason for this projection is collective bargaining increases (currently estimated at $1.2 million). While the Governor's Office has agreed to provide SUNY with "maintenance of effort" funding, they have made it clear that this does not include funding contractual salary increases. Therefore the campus must use part of its new tuition revenue to cover these increases. Additionally, the campus has seen a decline in our enrollment for the fall 2013 semester. While we met our incoming freshman and transfer targets, our attrition rates have increased, primarily through an increase in our graduation rates. However, we continue to see a decline at the graduate level. Since tuition revenue accounts for 75% of our total operating budget, we must temper our targets accordingly or we run the risk of running severe deficits in 2014-15.
As a result, initial projections for 2014-15 show only minimal funding for new initiatives if enrollment numbers hold. If enrollment continues to decline, we will likely have no new revenue to invest.
You may be asking, "If we have no funds to invest, then isn't this process just a waste of valuable time?" The answer to that question is no. In any circumstance, this process has value because it keeps the critical needs of the campus in the forefront and enables Cabinet to move swiftly if/when funding becomes available. (I learned last week that System Administration has made collective bargaining part of its request to the Division of Budget. Should this funding come through, this would definitely paint a rosier picture for our investment process…but it's too soon to tell whether this is likely to happen or not.)
The 2014-15 budget process timeline is available on my.newpaltz.edu in the Budget Information Center under the Faculty/Staff Services tab, along with the entire request list from last year. The Deans and Vice Presidents would like you to look at recurring requests that were not funded last year and evaluate whether or not you would like to put the proposal forward again for consideration. At the same time, we ask that you re-tool the request to link it to the Strategic Plan.
The President and I will hold a budget forum on Monday, December 2, from 10:30 a.m. to noon in the Student Union Building Multipurpose Room to discuss the process and answer any questions we can about the 2014-15 budget.
Michele Halstead
Vice President for Administration and Finance

In many ways, I'm not in the least bit surprised the U.S.
government is forming a permanent
task group to oversee the use of U.S. space-based resources for domestic use.
Of course, I am a little surprised that the U.S. government began the program
in 2005 with almost no mention in the media outside of a few wire
The inevitable knee-jerk reaction: "No, no! The U.S. must never use its
foreign intelligence powers domestically!"
Let's be a little more pragmatic here. The United States, commander of
the most powerful intelligence services in the world, will use spy satellites
domestically eventually -- if it hasn't already.
For all the problems of the Department of Homeland Security, I can find little
fault with the proposed National Applications Office. The NAO, originally
commissioned to start operations in October 2007 under the umbrella of the DHS, would be the oversight
institution for use of foreign intelligence capabilities domestically.
The Office is currently on hiatus pending a Congressional injunction.
In 1974 Nelson Rockefeller commissioned a study that exposed several illegal
programs inside the U.S. intelligence community, including the infamous CIA mind
control program MK-ULTRA. One of the lasting effects of Rockefeller's
commission included the creation of a Civil Applications Committee -- a
committee designed to oversee the use of U.S. space-based resources for
domestic purposes; Earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters -- that sort
of thing.
So guess what? We've already used those satellites for domestic purposes since
the 1970's, though with an extremely limited scope.
The NAO is an expansion of the little-documented, rarely-mentioned Civil
Applications Committee. It is compromised of three parts, one of which
effectively replaces the CAC; the other two working groups will oversee
homeland security, the other law enforcement.
So why the Congressional injunction? Privacy concerns, of course.
It's good to see someone didn't fall asleep at the wheel in Congress. A
report from the Associated Press claims the
injunction is in the final stages of dissolve: the new Office could
officially open doors as early as next month.
After all, at least the government is playing by the book with this one.
One proclamation
of retroactive immunity for illegal wiretaps is enough for 2008 already.
quote: I don't find these men to be ruthless or evil, I think that they are wrong though.
quote: "I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races. I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people. There is a physical difference between the white and black races, which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality."

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

6 Commonly Used Phrases That Make Everyone Hate You
We live in an age where everyone can -- nay, must -- share every thought and comment immediately and constantly. As a result, we, as humans, come up with more terrible things to say every single day. But YOLO, amirite?
Obvi there are totes a shit-ton of redonkulous words and phrases we could def 86 with a capital hashtag, but here is a list of six words and phrases we need to stop using now.
#6. "Guilty Pleasure"
I'm not the first person to complain about this term, of course. Chuck Klosterman took down the phrase back in 2004, but apparently Chuck didn't have enough Klout-erman (GOLD!) to banish the phrase forever.
Just a month ago I saw a promo for Revenge running on ABC calling it "your favorite guilty pleasure." I cannot, unfortunately, find evidence of said video on the Internet, so maybe I've already won this battle!
Although it's only ABC. It's not like I beat Univision or anything.
Dave Grohl summed up my feelings on guilty pleasures in this quote, adored by Tumblr: "I don't believe in guilty pleasures, you know. I believe you should be able to like what you like, if you like a fucking Ke$ha song, listen to fucking Ke$ha."
So why do Dave Grohl, Chuck Klosterman, and I all hate this phrase?
Because why do you have to feel guilty about something you like? Unless your pleasure comes from murdering people, you should be able to enjoy anything you enjoy. The connotation of this phrase is literally "I totally love this thing but I feel ashamed about it."
We need to not be ashamed of entertainment we like (unless it's Two and a Half Men -- then you should be ashamed). It is entertainment. It's there to entertain us and ment us. We should only feel pleasure from it. So rock out to Ke$ha, love Revenge, and, I dunno, be really into ice dancing if you want. Just don't call it a guilty pleasure.
#5. "Binge-Watch"
Just looking at this phrase written out is making me want to puke-stare.
When Netflix started having original content, two things happened: 1. Everyone rejoiced, because it meant we got more Arrested Development, and 2. Everyone started saying "binge-watch" in regard to how they planned to consume the episodes.
Numerous articles gave you tips on how to binge-watch these episodes, and then with each new show, the question of "But will you binge-watch?" comes up. Again and again.
Jupiterimages/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Clearly something in need of dire planning.
I love watching episodes of TV back to back to back to back. Networks would even air multiple episodes in a row on special occasions. We called that a marathon, and while I admit that marathon runners probably don't like comparing what they do to me sitting around watching The X-Files until my butt falls off, I don't see why we needed to add "binge" to my thing. Why so negative? Why can't I just sit around watching Law & Order: Special Victims Unit on Netflix for days on end sans bathing without everyone telling me I'm doing something wrong? (Although now that there are only five seasons on Netflix, what's the point?)
Bottom line: "Binge" is not a word associated with Things We Are Supposed to Do. And watching TV is not something I want to have negative connotations. So, BANISHED!
Pixland/Pixland/Getty Images
Leave "binge" for awful family-destroying things like alcohol, or drugs, or (again) Two and a Half Men.
#4. The Suffix "-Gasm"
Orgasm? Yes!
Nerdgasm, foodgasm, shoegasm, TVgasm, ve-gasm? Go to hell-gasm.
(Ve-gasm is like a vegan orgasm, so it doesn't have any dairy and is covered in hemp.)
Allen Morris/iStock/Getty Images
Beware of any dude offering to give you a hemp necklace.
The only thing that should be attached to "-gasm" is "or-." I'd probably have less of a problem with this if you just said "food orgasm" or "clothing orgasm." That's still gross, but separating out the "gasm" part of "orgasm" is like cutting off one of Scarlett Johansson's feet: You're close to the promised land, but are you really happy with what part you have? (If you're a foot fetishist, you'll have to imagine I said "hand" or something else you don't love up there. Eyebrow. Nostril. These are just suggestions.)
Obviously we all understand that an orgasm is a good and pleasurable thing. So we then understand that a "nerdgasm" would mean a "good and pleasurable NERD thing."
Why does this have to exist? Why can't we just enjoy things a normal amount? Why does everything pleasurable have to mean sex? Can't we enjoy anything without orgasming all over it? Sometimes I want to like things a normal amount that doesn't involve bodily fluid.
Wendy Hope/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Hey, hon, can you grab me a condom? I wanna watch the new Sherlock."
(Sidebar: Anyone else learn what an orgasm was from reading the back of the When Harry Met Sally VHS and then sussing out what part of the movie they were referring to?)

Wednesday, May 8, 2013
Their love is unconditional. They're support unwavering.
And between the lines, while their athlete kids may not always hear them or even see them, they always know they're there.
As often as being seated in the bleachers, sports moms can be found in the concession stand or taking tickets during Berkeley Stags sporting events. They are as much an integral part of the night's event as the players and coaches.
For the Berkeley Lady Stags softball team, the players' moms are a lot like a sorority.
They sit in the same section occupying three rows on the left side of the home bleachers. One mom blazes a trail back and forth between the bleachers and the concession stand and press box while another has her face buried in a book … a scorebook, that is.
Denise Kullnat, a former softball player and mother to Ashtin Kullnat, keeps the official scorebook for Coach Boogie Grooms and the Lady Stags. Things don't officially happen until she says they do and fills the appropriate diamond with a run scored, the type of hit and the play result.
For Kullnat, it is all about being there for her daughter in heart and spirit.
"When I watch my daughter play softball, I am filled with a multitude of emotions ranging from excitement to fear," she said. "My excitement comes from the love of the game and watching her play it. The fear comes from knowing how my daughter's feeling when the team is down by one run and there are two outs and she is up to bat. The joy I feel when she gets a base hit or scores that winning run is priceless."
For Kullnat, the end of her Lady Stags softball career is bittersweet as next year Ashtin takes her softball career to the next level at Florence Darlington Tech.
For Karen Marsch, mother of senior first baseman Katie Marsch, a typical game involves four or five trips to the concession stand, or the press box, or the front gate. It's not that Karen gets particularly hungry during softball games and eats a lot of hot dogs, she's usually in one of three places helping out.
"Sitting in the stands watching Katie for the last 14 years has filled my life with laughter, joys, friendships and sometimes even tears," she said. "If you have had the chance to sit with us softball moms then you would see how much we love it ... cheering, singing, laughing and sometimes even embarrassing our girls by our silliness.
Marsch said she has forged some great friendships: "We are all bonded together by one of the things we love most, our daughters."
Marsch saw this season as a confliction of emotions with this being her daughter's final year on the diamond. "This season has been amazing and sad all at the same time as it was Katie's senior year," she said. "Katie's last year of softball and my last year of being a softball mom. I wouldn't trade all the cold nights in the stands, the long drives to games, or the hectic schedule we kept for anything.
"The joy I got from being a softball mom is a priceless memory I will always cherish."
For daughter Katie, having her mom there to support her (Dad, too) is important.
"It means a lot to have them cheering me on in the stands and it's good after the game when they can give me constructive criticism," she said. "It's nice having them out there. Even though I have eight teammates behind me it's nice to know they're out there supporting me."
Watching your daughter compete on the playing field usually doesn't begin with their freshman year in high school. Varsity softball players regularly make the varsity roster and see playing time as seventh and eighth graders.
Kim Price, mother of Lady Stags' third baseman Blake Ponder has been watching her daughter play softball since she was 5 and first began playing for Moncks Corner Parks and Recreation.
"From a very early age she has had a natural talent that has just amazed anyone who watched her play," Price said. "Although she has played volleyball and basketball for years as well, softball is her love and hopefully she will play in college.
"I never tire of the games, the tournaments, the travel, the 12-15 hour days at the field, I just love to watch her play. I don't know if I tell her enough, but she makes me very proud every time she steps on the field. She doesn't have to hit a home run to make me proud, and if she ever strikes out, it doesn't make me sad; just watching her play her favorite sport, with the passion that she has for it is enough for me."
It is a mother's love for her daughter, and pride in her accomplishments, that makes these games both easy and hard to watch at times.
For Angela Pinson, mother of sophomore Peyton Pinson being a softball mom, or a mom in any sport, is a great feeling.
"I can't deny I am beaming every time my baby girl steps up to bat or plays on the field, but that's only half of the story," she said. "As team moms we also bond together and become a cheerleader for each player on the field. We rally together whether the score is up or down in hopes to cheer our Lady Stags to victory."
Laura Stone's job is probably the toughest of the softball moms. Her daughter is Lady Stags' pitcher Brooklyn Stone, just an eighth grader. She is playing and competing with girls four and five years older and more mature than she is, and she holds her own quite well.
Watching both her daughters grow up on the diamond has become as normal a part Stone's life.
"As a parent sitting on the bleachers game after game, tournament after tournament I feel like it is just another day," she said. "I have spent the last eight years traveling with both of my daughters while they give it their all on the softball field. I have watched them grow into beautiful young ladies. I would not give this time up for anything in the world. They are, this is, my world."
Diane Kizer has watched two of her kids rise through the ranks of Berkeley Stags athletics. Son Matthew, who graduated in 2012 and now attends Clemson, and daughter Sydney who is enjoying her first varsity season as a member of the Lady Stags.
"Being the mother of a high school athlete in my opinion means you are person who must wear many hats – caregiver, teacher, psychologist, time manager, banker and cheerleader are just a few," she said. "Each season is unique in what roles are needed but by switching hats regularly somehow we manage.
"As a mother of two athletic children, I have been blessed to watch them participate in multiple sports over the years and admit to feeling pride in their accomplishments but greater joy in seeing the discipline and effort they put toward each sport. My prayer is that they take something positive from their experiences in high school sports and have no doubt that their biggest fan is mom."
So moms, stand up and take a bow. Your daughters know you're there and they love you for it.
And win or lose, their daughters know these moms love them in return. Unconditionally.

Published May 16, 2013
Barry Taylor, director of undergraduate admissions at Florida International University, has been appointed director of undergraduate admissions at UB, effective June 19.
Taylor succeeds Patricia Armstrong, who retired as director of admissions earlier this year after leading UB's undergraduate admissions efforts for a decade.
Taylor comes to UB after heading up the undergraduate student recruitment operation at FIU for more than four years. He previously had been associate dean in the admissions office at Princeton University and also held admissions positions at Cornell University, Rider University and Tufts University.
As director of undergraduate admissions at UB, Taylor will be responsible for all aspects of domestic student undergraduate recruitment and admissions. He will oversee development of proactive student recruitment initiatives and innovative strategies to promote recognition of the UB brand, as well as increase contacts with prospective students through various media and technologies.
"Our director of admissions plays a very critical and strategic role in terms of shaping our student body," says Charles F. Zukoski, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs. "We look forward to working with Barry to enhance our overall admissions program so that we continue to effectively compete for the best and brightest students who will thrive at a major public research university."
Scott Weber, senior vice provost for academic affairs, notes that in coming from FIU, Taylor has worked at an institution that is similar in many ways to UB: both are urban, public research universities committed to quality teaching, innovative research and engagement with the local and global communities.
"Barry has the background, experience and vision to develop and lead a creative outreach program that will bring to UB the best and the brightest students who will help the university continue toward its goal of sustained academic excellence," Weber says.
Taylor says he's looking forward to joining the enrollment division as director of undergraduate admissions. "I am impressed with the professionalism and passion of the staff, and the vision and goals of UB's leadership," he says. "I know we can continue to strengthen the UB brand locally, nationally and beyond, and achieve our enrollment objectives."
Taylor earned a bachelor's degree in geology from Tufts and a certificate in dispute resolution from the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell. He also completed graduate work at FIU and at Cornell's School of Continuing Studies.
He is a member of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, and is a member and former parliamentarian of the Association of Black Admissions and Financial Aid Officers of the Ivy League and Sister Schools.

Our Goal
Active in conservation since 1982, MacArthur's current strategy aims to preserve ecosystems and species, recognize the benefits the environment provides communities, and promote development that respects the environment. A major mid-course evaluation is underway, the findings of which will inform decisions about future directions.
We work in conservation and sustainable development because of the intrinsic value of the natural world and because all human activity depends upon it. We aim to preserve ecosystems and species and promote development that respects the environment.
MacArthur has been active in conservation since 1982. We were the first private foundation to focus on the preservation of biodiversity, in 1987. For the decade 2000-2010, we pursued a strategy that focused on eight ecological hotspots (places of high biodiversity under threat) in Madagascar, Melanesia, the Andes, Insular Caribbean, Albertine Rift, Eastern Himalayas, and Lower Mekong.
Our approaches included training conservationists, strengthening law and policy organizations, creating and managing protected areas, and conducting biological inventories. We also supported initiatives on integrating the rights of local people into conservation planning and managing protected areas to mitigate the effects of climate change on species.
In 2011, the Foundation launched a new strategy that focuses on one of the most compelling environmental challenges of the 21st century: the conservation of ecosystems.
Ecosystems and their biodiversity underpin human wellbeing. They provide food and water; regulate floods, drought, and disease; and support soil formation and pollination. They also have intangible value as places of spiritual significance. All these are vital "services," essential to economies and nation states.
But ecosystems are undergoing acute and accelerating damage. Sixty percent of ecosystem services have been degraded over the last 50 years, with direct, measurable economic repercussions. Pressure on resources is likely to spark conflicts within and between nations.
Our objective is to slow this degradation of ecosystems and, eventually, to reverse it.
Our Strategic Approach
In order to achieve that goal, we propose this hypothesis:
- Key policymakers can be educated to understand the benefits ecosystems provide to people and economies;
- But education alone will not be enough; we need to help create incentives to slow the process of degradation;
The right incentives will persuade governments, businesses, and communities to change their policies and behaviors, reducing pressure on ecosystems.
We will test this theory by awarding grants that aim to:
- Understand the environmental pressures from development and climate change, and how best to respond;
- Create and expand incentives to conserve ecosystems;
- Assist the rural poor in managing natural resources;
- Build capacity to respond to of the causes of ecosystem decline worldwide.
Geographic and Programmatic Priorities
Our geographical focus will be on three regions: the Great Lakes of East Central Africa, the Greater Mekong and its headwaters, and the watersheds of the Andes. Each is a place of high biodiversity, important freshwater service, and carbon-storage value.
The Great Lakes and the Mekong were selected because success there would benefit the largest numbers of vulnerable people and because of the high level of threat to the ecosystem. The Watersheds of the Andes were selected because of their remarkable biodiversity values and because low population densities have left the habitat relatively unscathed.
We will also continue to build on the success of our Locally Managed Marine Area (LMMA) initiative through a coastal marine program in the Caribbean, Madagascar, and Melanesia. LMMA promotes the responsible management of coastal resources, including fisheries and marine habitats, by communities of local people. We will identify new areas where an LMMA approach could be effective, and also address land use upstream and, when appropriate, use of marine resources further out to sea. A core emphasis will be to document and disseminate best practices to increase impact – something that has had dramatic success in Melanesia.
Our policy grants will target biodiversity conservation at the global scale and reinforce the priorities of our regional work.
We will focus on four issues:
- Climate change mitigation and adaptation;
- Understanding and influencing China's consumption patterns and use of natural resources, particularly in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific;
- Integrating environmental and social considerations into commodities markets, (for example: carbon, timber, oil palm, cotton, and soy);
- Responding to the overexploitation and illegal use of marine fisheries.
View the Conservation & Sustainable Development Program Priorities.
Finally, CSD will pursue a more rigorous and systematic approach to assessment to both test the validity of our theory of change and complement the efforts of governments to report on their progress to targets established in the Convention on Biological Diversity and other agreements.

Fiscal code bill gets mixed reviews from region's reps
July 17, 2013
Local state representatives had mixed thoughts about the fiscal code bill, which passed in the state House Monday 103-85 and is the final piece of the state budget....
The democrats will always complain that more money should be spent.
And don't you just love it when they talk about CUTTING a program, when actually it is the INCREASE that is cut back?

Both teams traded chances in a back-and-forth contest, but neither could find a goal as the Fort Lewis College women�s soccer team battled to a 0-0 draw with New Mexico Highlands on Friday night in Las Vegas, N.M.
�To be honest with you, I think we�re starting to kind of pull ourselves out of I guess I�d say a rough patch,� FLC head coach Damian Clarke said. �We played really, really well at times, moved the ball extremely well, but we didn�t do it long enough to completely break them down.�
Caitlyn Espinosa got the start in net for the Skyhawks, who posted their seventh shutout of the year.
Clarke said Espinosa had a few quality saves against the Cowgirls (4-6-1, 2-4-1 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) in the first half and one somewhat difficult opportunity after the halftime intermission.
FLC (7-2-2, 3-2-2 RMAC) has a position battle for playing time in net with both Espinosa and incumbent starter Amanda Raso logging minutes and playing at a high level.
�They�re both very good, and shoot, I mean, I think they have more shutouts already this year than we did last year,� Clarke said. �They�re both good, and right now, I think Caitlyn�s been quite impressive, but I think it�s going to make Raso better, so I wouldn�t be surprised if Raso finds a way to win it again.�
Clarke said Sam Weiss had a couple of good scoring chances, along with one for Megan Striedel. Weiss and Elena Benavides both had two shots on goal.
�Just that last touch to set up the finishing play wasn�t quite there,� he said. �I kind of have to give Highlands credit as well. They were very, very tough, and I think they played extremely well against us (Friday).�
FLC, which sits five points behind league co-leaders Colorado Mesa, Metro State and Regis, will look to jump back into the win column at 1 p.m. Sunday against Adams State in Alamosa.
Colorado Mesa beat Adams State 1-0 on Friday, while Metro State shut out CSU-Pueblo 4-0, and Colorado Mines shut out Regis 2-0.

Check this out! Apparently Omaze and the Navy Seals teamed up to offer one lucky person the opportunity to train with the Navy Seals prior to an epic paintball battle! Training will include the fundamentals of close quarters combat and sniper assaults – pretty awesome if you ask us!
The winner can pick a friend to go with them to learn exclusively from the Navy Seals on some really neat things, like, training the brain for mental strain during missions and how to hold your breath for two minutes (not sure how this applies to paintball, but…sure!). They also will undergo a workout routine to beef up their biceps before hitting the field to battle it out.
The best part about all of this is that every entry helps out the Wounded Warrier Project to help veterans recover from combat wounds. So, there is an entry fee of $10, but hey, it's for a great cause!
Check it out, who knows, you might get to train with the elite! Visit the website here and submit your entry before time runs out.

I had run into a problem with extra protein buildup on my contacts that normal saline cleaners weren't getting completely off. My eye doctor recommended I try this before having to give up wearing contacts which I had quickly grown to love being able to do. I read and followed the simple directions and warnings on the package. (You DO have to let it sit for at least 6 hours in the solution for the hydrogen peroxide to neutralize after doing its sterilizing of your lenses.) I swear, the lenses felt cleaner than putting in a brand new pair out of the package. No minimal stinging upon first insertion at all. Whether you take them out nightly, or like myself, wear them as many days as you can at a time, this will clean all dirt and protein buildup off of the lenses. It is a gentle saline that it neutralizes to, safe for sensitive eyes (like mine).

My only issue with the twin pack is that it comes with just one new container. My husband and I both love this product and use it but cannot use a twin pack because of just one new containr to hold the contacts.Please consider adding a second container to your twin pack and I will definitely buy it this way!

About Me Kerataconus, Specialty Lenses, Wear Contacts
ClearCare is a necessary staple for those of us that suffer from keratoconus and wear specialty lenses (e.g., PROSE). No other solution cleans as thoroughly. Phenomenal comfort throughout the day.The only real con is the price.

Although you have to wait six hours once you put your contacts in to be cleaned, they come out clean and refreshing every time. I always feel like I am putting in new contacts every day, and my contacts never get dry or irritate my eyes like they did before I switched to Clear Care.

A surge in international sales fueled an 86 percent jump in Graham Corp.'s third-quarter profits, although the Batavia manufacturer warned that delays in nuclear power projects would cause its sales to grow slower than it initially forecast.
Even so, Graham's earnings easily topped analyst forecasts, and the company still expects its sales for the entire fiscal year, which ends in March, to be almost 2 percent higher than they were the year before.
"We remain optimistic in both the long-term outlook in our markets and our ability to achieve our goal of over $200 million in annual revenue in this next cycle," said James R. Lines, Graham's president and chief executive officer, in a statement Friday.
Graham's profits jumped to $3 million, or 30 cents per share, compared with $1.6 million, or 16 cents per share, a year ago. The third-quarter earnings were inflated by $975,000, or 10 cents a share, because the company was able to eliminate a reserve that it had created in case the Energy Steel nuclear power components business it acquired two years ago met sales and earnings targets that would have triggered an additional payment to its former owners. Energy Steel, which hit its targets during its first year under Graham's ownership, fell short during the second year.
Excluding the elimination of the reserve, Graham's profits rose 26 percent to $2.1 million, or 21 cents per share.
With the nuclear project delays expected to last for several quarters, Graham reduced its sales forecast for the current fiscal year to a midpoint of $105 million, down from its previous forecast of $110 million but still slightly better than its $103 million in revenues during the previous fiscal year.
The company's sales rose by 5 percent to $25.6 million during the quarter that ended in December, up from $24.3 million a year ago, as a 37 percent jump in international revenue offset weakness in its U.S. markets, where sales slid by 18 percent because of delays on work on new nuclear power plants, as well as a key U.S. Navy contract for nuclear propulsion systems.
Graham's sales for oil refinery projects remained robust, jumping by 45 percent to $10.9 million, or 43 percent of the revenues during the quarter. Sales for chemical and petrochemical projects also were strong, rising by 38 percent to $6.5 million. Those gains offset a 37 percent drop in power projects, which slid to $4.1 million.
Graham booked $24.6 million in new orders during the quarter, up 12 percent from $21.9 million a year ago, but down 4 percent from $25.6 million during the quarter that ended in September. Orders from refinery projects surged, while orders from the power market fell by 54 percent.
Graham's backlog of orders stood at $90.7 million at the end of December, down 1 percent from September, but 25 percent higher than it was at the end of 2011.
"The order release pattern for the early stages of the recovery in our markets has been somewhat unusual, with bidding activity building nicely, while at the same time, there has been an inconsistent release of orders," Lines said.
Graham also said it is increasing its dividend by 50 percent, boosting its annual payment to 3 cents a share from the current rate of 2 cents per share.

Growing sentiment that academic journals fail to teach and share knowledge with others
A time for action: One student's commitment to free and open access
Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves.—Aaron Swartz
I have been a PhD student for less than two years. On the other hand, for six years, I have been a member of the free culture movement, which emphasizes the importance of access to and openness of technology and information.
Recently, I've been frustrated... sad... angry. Just over a year ago, a friend and fellow member of the free culture community, Ilya Zhitomirskiy, committed suicide. He was 22. A few weeks ago, an acquaintance, a friend of many close friends, and—really—a role model, just one year older than myself and networked with many institutions and individuals I have come to work with and/or admire (such as MIT, the Berkman Center, the EFF, Creative Commons; frankly, there are too many individual people to list) committed suicide. Aaron Swartz was admired for his bravery to stand up for his ideals, and the work he put into the world demonstrated no less than exactly those ideals. I followed his actions with awe and complete understanding.
When I look at the goals that Aaron pursued, I feel disappointed in myself for not also working harder toward similar aspirations. But I want that to change. Though Aaron frequently called for more extreme forms of activism, such as through his Guerilla Open Access Manifesto, I want to begin with what is an easy solution that has been solvable for years, which I do not even think deserves to be called activism. It's merely what should be.
So I have decided that I will further my ideals by refusing to restrict the knowledge I create in outdated publishing models that retain and maintain a detrimental status quo within the academic community. I know that Aaron detested the absurdity of contemporary academic establishments and norms; in many regards, I agree with his sentiments wholeheartedly.
But even though I still commit to furthering my career as a pursuer and producer of knowledge, I recognize that things just have to change already. We need to fix this.
Accessible by default
The easiest thing... is simply not volunteering our labor to lock academic writing away from the public.—Nick Montfort
While I've supported and campaigned for open access in the past as a member of Students for Free Culture, I can no longer support the outdated, profit-driven models of modern academic publishing companies. I feel it is finally time to stand up and challenge the status quo, in which academics send knowledge to journals whose sole purpose of existing is to disseminate that knowledge to others. By blocking access to and charging fees for that knowledge, I believe that journals have failed in the primary purpose for the education system as a whole: to teach and share knowledge with others.
There's an inherent flaw in modern academia: scholars are expected to publish in "high ranking" journals, foundational compilations of academic articles that—over time—have become engrained in the institutional social fabric of knowledge production within the academy. They are, however, closed to the public. But these kinds of journals do nothing for someone like me, a young, digitally networked, curious researcher. Unlike scholars of the past, I no longer wait for journals to appear on my doorstep to gain access to the latest scholarship; the internet, search engines, and personal homepages are my distributors and discovery mechanisms.
It angers me that scholars think that the solution to this status quo is to post copies of their articles online. Some academics, in reality, must publish in closed journals and thus decide to free their own writing individually. But in my opinion, that is not enough. By continuing to publish in and thereby support closed journals, we continue to maintain and uphold an outdated mode of knowledge circulation. Scholars need to realize that the base act of publishing in a closed journal continues its existence: even if you make your own knowledge available, others' may not be.
I'm no longer afraid of the threat that publishing in certain closed journals might affect my career. My future depends on my work being relevant and widely read. And I will never support nor desire an institution that would punish me for pursuing those goals.
I am boycotting locked-down journals and I'd like to ask other academics to do the same.—Danah Boyd
What I must do
I have come to the conclusion that my knowledge should and will be accessible. Therefore, I will only publish openly.
I will only publish in open access journals.
I will only review for open access publications.
I will only sign book and chapter contracts that share copies of the text online (whether licensed through Creative Commons or made available in some other, free form).
I will only attend conferences that make any related publications accessible for free.
I will also only contribute to open access publications that do not charge authors inordinate costs for publishing.
The academic community is only hurting itself, and its long term public support, by keeping its knowledge behind high subscription walls.—Andrew Carr
What you (and we) can do
Change begins when we as a community move forward together. However, absolute change can only come about with absolute decisions.
If you are a graduate student:
- Adopt the same stance: only publish in open access academic venues; refuse all others.
- Encourage your cohort, classmates, friends, colleagues, teachers, and advisors to do the same.
If you are a senior scholar:
- Help young scholars like me establish a variety of new and current open venues for publication.
- Refuse to review for closed journals; volunteer to review for open access publications.
- Cite scholarly works from open access venues when research is worthy of it.
- Recognize junior faculty's efforts in the tenure process for pursuing open access ideals.
- Petition closed journals to shift their policies to open access.
- Help spread the word that closed publications are no longer acceptable.
Open Access benefits literally everyone, for the same reasons that research itself benefits literally everyone.—Peter Suber
The movement toward open access as a norm within academia has been and will likely be a slow and ongoing process, and many better people than myself have contributed to changing the status quo in substantial ways. But I feel that individual decisions like the one made on this page can contribute to that shift and ultimately change this situation. If you are ready to take the same step, I encourage you to promote your thoughts on your own webpage and spread the word. There's no image to share, no petition to sign, no badge to display: at this critical and crucial point, there is only action.

Great article Alex. I've been reading also about physicians adopting a similar idea, not publishing in closed journals and refusing to review for those journals in an effort to make the medical knowledge available to all instead of just those who can afford the cost of the publication.
Thank you for such a great idea......I will spread word about it....Thanks again.
Thanks for this great idea. I will spread word about it.
Excellent Article Alex !
You are giving great example and providing inspiration and hope to all of us who have been promoting Open Access for long time.
Your gesture is exactly what is needed at this junction in time.
The arguments in favor of Open Access have been made for the past ten years. As you very nicely point out: Now it is time for Action !
I think this is a great idea, but, I have one question:
What happens to the journals?
If new open access journals/publications are created, where the content is provided for free, how do the running costs of the journal/publication get covered? Who pays the editor?
Journals that are "revered" and "curated" (e.g. Science, British Medical Journal) ensure very high standards as scientists strive and compete for their research to be published in such publications. The publications have higher running costs, which cover the costs of editing and "curating".
With open access journals, where is the incentive to maintain the quality and the finance to cover the running costs?
I'm sure the answer is obvious to most people and that I'm just having a stupid day....
The answer is not simple and revolves more around reputation and how reputation yields funding. High standards of review in closed journals are supposed to guarantee preservation of quality in the literature. A single publication in a high quality journal may guarantee more grant funding than several papers published in journals of lesser stature. The reality today is that competition for funding is tougher than ever and publications in respected journals directly relate to how reviewers view a scientist's grant application. The field of science is a field of real people competing for a smaller pool of funding. Until OpenAccess journals have the same respect among grant reviewers as the premier closed journals, we won't achieve a major change in what is driving the way people think about funding. Follow the money and you will find the money follows the citations in the "right" journals. Ultimately, open source, freedom of data, and full methods disclosure revolves around freeing scientists from competition for limited resources, ie. funding, by traditional methods. Figuring out how to do that is the real hurdle. Once scientists are competing, in their minds, for respect and reputation, and not funding, based on free publication of full methods and data of new discoveries, then a new way of having a career as a scientist will have come to fruition.

THERE have been few convincing research studies on the effectiveness of the various psychotherapies. The studies of large scope have typically had insufficient or inadequate controls. Other studies, often more adequate in methodology, have been so limited in scope that any generalization of their findings must be very tenuous. Until recently, few studies have built cumulatively on earlier ones to provide comparable rather than conglomerate data. As a consequence, we have little systematic experimental knowledge of psychotherapy, of its effectiveness, and of the factors facilitating its effects. Certainly the practice of psychotherapy has been influenced very little by the research literature.
The major problems that must be faced by any attempt to evaluate psychotherapy are that we are dealing with a treatment modality which has not been defined, the effects of which are presumed to require a long period of treatment, and the evaluation of which demands long-term

DELAND, Fla. – Freshman midfielder Ana Baranowski scored a season high four goals as the Stetson University lacrosse team fell to Wagner 11-10, Monday night at the Athletic Training Center. The 10 goals scored by the Hatters were their second most all-season, just one shy of their season high.
Stetson jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead, just eight and a half minutes into the contest with scores from Baranowski, Lindsay Summers and MaryKate O'Sullivan. That lead would not hold up for long as Wagner reeled off five goals in the next 20 minutes, sandwiched in between another Summers score, to make it 5-4 Seahawks at the half.
Another Wagner goal at the start of the second made it 6-4, but then the Hatters stormed back, with three straight Baranowski scores during a four minute stretch, giving Stetson back the lead at 7-6. Two of Baranowski's second half scores were off free position shots, with the last coming unassisted.
Both teams then took turns trading goals for the next 10 minutes until Stetson held a 10-8 advantage, with exactly 10 minutes remaining in the contest. That's where the scored remained until the 7:24 mark in the second, when the Seahawks scored their first of three consecutive goals to cap off the come from behind victory, 11-10.
Besides Baranowski's four goals, three Hatters had a pair of scores Monday night, as Summers, O'Sullivan and Christina Loya each netted two. Danielle Horgan led all Stetson players with a pair of assists, while Christina Wittmeier and Loya had one apiece.
Stetson won the majority of the draw controls versus Wagner (12-10) and the two schools were even when it came to clears with a dozen apiece. The Hatters came up with 22 ground balls to the Seahawks' 30, while firing off nine shots in both the first and second halves.
Sophomore goal keeper Caili Guilday stopped eight Wagner shots on Monday; her fourth straight game with eight or more saves, giving her 103 on the season.
The Hatters (0-10) next play Marist, Friday, Mar. 21 at 7 p.m., in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Their next home game is slated for Wednesday, Mar. 26 vs. Florida at the ATC.

Marine animal stings or bites refer to venomous or poisonous bites or stings from any form of sea life, including jellyfish.
Almost 2000 species of animals found in the ocean are either venomous or poisonous to humans, and many can produce severe illness or death. An estimated 40,000 to 50,000 bites or stings from marine creatures occur each year. In recent years, the number of injuries caused by these animals has increased dramatically because of the greater number of people who take part in scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing and water sports. These animals are not usually aggressive, and many are stuck to the ocean floor. Most venomous or poisonous marine animals in the United States are found along the California, Gulf of Mexico, and southern Atlantic coasts.
Stings - marine animals; Bites - marine animals
The majority of these types of bites or stings occur in salt water. Some types of marine stings or bites can be deadly.
Causes include bites or stings from various types of marine life, including: jellyfish, Portuguese Man-of-War, stingray, stonefish, scorpion fish, catfish, sea urchins, sea anemone, hydroid, coral, cone shell, sharks, barracudas, and moray or electric eels.
There may be pain, burning, swelling, redness, or bleeding near the area of the bite or sting. Other symptoms can affect the entire body, and may include:
Seek medical help (call 911 or your local emergency number) if the person has difficulty breathing, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, or uncontrolled bleeding; if the sting site develops swelling or discoloration, or for other body-wide (generalized) symptoms.
