Victoria McGowan scored a career-high 33 points and Stetson rallied from a 12-point second-half deficit to defeat Kennesaw State 57-52 in an Atlantic Sun Conference game Wednesday afternoon at the KSU Convocation Center.
With the victory, the Hatters (9-4, 2-0 A-Sun) completed a sweep of their conference-opening two-game road trip and extended their winning streak to five games in a row.
"At the end of the day we fought," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "We know we are always going to get every team's best. I was really proud of our kids for sticking together. We were fortunate to get two road wins, so we're happy."
Despite entering the game as league leaders in both field goal and three-point field goal percentage, Stetson was uncharacteristically cold from the floor, shooting just 30% in the opening 20 minutes including a 1-for-10 mark from behind the arc. The Owls (4-10, 0-2 A-Sun) led 30-25 at halftime.
"I don't think we shot the ball very well, that was the biggest difference in the game," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "I thought we had good looks, we had several points in the paint that we just didn't put in."
Kennesaw, however, continued to knock down their three-point attempts, and the Owls extended the lead to 48-36 on a three from Danielle Jackson with 10:49 remaining.
McGowan answered with a three of her own, just the second three-pointer of the game for Stetson, and the Hatters started what would be a game-winning 15-0 run.
Defensively the Hatters went into a zone defense, which forced Kennesaw into several turnovers and kept the Owls completely off the scoreboard for the next nine minutes.
"I thought our zone defense really bothered them, they didn't know what to do with it," Bria said. "It was very effective and caused them a lot of problems, and it got them to turn the ball over. I really don't play it that much, but it was working, so I stayed in it.
Meantime the offense shook off its struggles and got to work. Back-to-back layups by Janelle Mills and Sasha Sims pulled Stetson within five at the 9:01 mark, but neither team managed to score over the next four-and-a-half minutes.
Then McGowan stepped up to complete the comeback. On consecutive possessions the Hatter senior hit a pair of free throws, a fastbreak lay-up, and a midrange jumper to give Stetson a 49-48 and a lead the Hatters would not relinquish. Stetson hit all eight of its free throw attempts down the stretch to nail down the victory.
"I thought Victoria McGowan put the team on her back," Bria said. "It's what she does. She'll take over a game. I don't know so much that Victoria just loves winning as she just hates losing. I can always tell when she gets that look, that she is about to take over the game.
"But she can't do it alone," Bria continued. "I felt Ashley Dennis took charges that were key plays in the game that turned the momentum around. And Janelle Mills was great for us at the top of our 1-3-1. Between Ashley and Janelle, they both made plays that were huge for us."
McGowan went 8-for-16 from the floor and 15-of-17 from the line to become the first Hatter since Nefertiti Walker in 2006 to score 30 or more points in a game. She added 10 rebounds for her 11th career double-double.
"I have to give a lot of credit to my teammates," McGowan said. "Our defense picked up after the 11 minute mark, and we locked down on 'D' and rebounded. I think that's what got us the win.
"It was a good win and a good learning experience for us."
Shanasa Sanders led the Hatters with 12 rebounds.
The Hatters will return home to the Edmunds Center for a two-game home stand this Saturday and Monday against the two Jacksonville-area opponents. Stetson will host North Florida at 1 p.m. Saturday and Jacksonville at 3 p.m. on Monday. Broadcasts for both games will be available on HatterVision and WSBB.
Notes: Stetson ended the game on a 21-4 run ... McGowan scored 20 of the Hatters' 32 points in the second half ... Her 15 free throws made was the most by a Hatter since Michelle Michael hit 16 (school record) on Jan. 3, 1989 ... The Hatters have won eight straight games over the Owls and six straight at the Convocation Center … It was only Stetson's third game this year decided by less than 10 points (Hofstra, Charlotte) … McGowan's previous career-high was 29 points at Mercer on Jan. 4, 2012 ... The last Hatter to score 30 points was Nefertiti Walker (35 points) vs. North Florida on March 2, 2006.

Dr. James Phares, the West Virginia superintendent of schools, has been touring each county in the state recently, but said he did not come to talk but to listen to what Randolph County Board of Education members had to ask him Monday.
While revisiting the county where he served as superintendent of schools before assuming the state education chief position in January, Phares said he wanted to recognize some major recent accomplishments in Randolph.
"First I want to recognize Pickens School and the Randolph Technical Center for achieving exemplary school status," Phares said. "Also, the Tygarts Valley High School boys basketball team won first place in Class Single A at the Big Atlantic Tournament.

West Virginia State Superintendent of Schools Dr. James Phares presents a medal to Elkins High School Principal David Fincham, who accepts it for Elkins High School senior Sarah Cooper, honored for her contribution to digital learning. Phares took questions from the Randolph County Board of Education at its meeting Monday. (The Inter-Mountain photo by Beth Christian Broschart)
"Elkins High School senior Maggie Jones was named a Presidential Scholar Semifinalist," he said. "Westest scores showed a significant increase in math and the county now offers parents online access, where they can make payments and view activity.
"Sarah Cooper, Elkins High School senior, was highlighted on the WV Department of Education website for her Digital Learning Day project," Phares said.
Board member Harvey Taylor asked Phares about the state board's input into school calendars.
"We are hoping to allow the counties to determine the start and stop days of school and set their own vacations," Phares said. "The counties calendar committee would make recommendations, and the board of education would be the final authority on calendars."
Board member Ed Tyre asked Phares if there would be changes in the funding formula.
"Thirty-three counties are sliding toward deficiencies in their budgets," Phares said. "So yes, I do think you will see some relief in the formula."
Board member David Kesling asked Phares if there was any consideration of adding outside security in schools.
Phares said he has attended two summits on the issue, and said he thinks there needs to be more conversation on the subject before a final decision is made.
"Do we want armed teachers? Do we want armed guards?" Phares asked. "We tried to get resource officers here and in Marion County and it never worked out."
Phares said one item officials are looking into is installing film on the lower windows of schools that will prevent the windows from shattering.
"This is an issue that is on everyone's mind," Phares said. "How do we prevent these kinds of incidents. But when we arm folks and the first responders come on the scene, how do they know who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?"
Tyre asked about adding more counselors in schools.
"We are going to recommend more counselors, as well as speech therapists and library media specialists," Phares said.
Taylor said guns in the schools are a bad idea.
"What happens if a teacher has a gun and students find out where it is?" Taylor said.
"It is an oxymoronic idea," Phares said. "We have just spent the past five years working to get guns out of the schools, and here we are talking about putting them back in."
Board President Lisa Wamsley asked about the lack of completers in career technical education classes.
"Students have so many core credits they need, they can't take career technical education classes," Phares said. "We are working to include a math credit with these classes. That would help students fit more CTE classes into their schedules and we could have more completers."
In other business, board members voted to pull three items from the agenda. Interim Superintendent Terry George recommended creating and posting three positions for the 2013-2014 school year, including a K-1 split at Harman School, a K-2 split at Valley Head Elementary School and a 3-5 split at Valley Head Elementary School.
Members voted to put these items on the March 18 meeting agenda.
The next regular meeting is slated for 6 p.m. March 4 at the central office.

"The rational for the trial was based on a clinical trial that Dr. Keith Stewart performed in Toronto for relapsed myeloma patients. That preliminary study showed very high response rates for relapsed disease, and we took that same regimen and moved it upfront to newly diagnosed patients." Dr. Reeder

[3601] A Phase II Trial of Myeloma Induction Therapy with Cyclophosphamide, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone (Cybor-D): Improved Response over Historical Lenalidomide-Dexamethasone Controls. Session Type: Poster Session, Board #820-III Craig B. Reeder, Donna E. Reece, Rafael Fonseca, P. Leif Bergsagel, Joseph Hentz, Nicholas A. Pirooz, Jacy E. Boesiger, Jesus G. Pisa, Vishal Kukreti, Christine Chen, Suzanne Trudel, Joseph R. Mikhael, Martha Lacy, S. Vincent Rajkumar, A. Keith Stewart Hematology/Oncology, Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, AZ, USA; Hematology/Oncology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA; Hematology/Oncology, Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada Background: We previously reported an 85% response rate with 54% CR/nCR using a combination of cyclophosphamide (Cy), prednisone, and bortezomib (BZ) in relapsed myeloma (MM). We now report a Phase II clinical trial using a combination of Cy, BZ, and dexamethasone (Dex) [Cybor-D] in newly-diagnosed MM. We then compare the activity of this combination with historical controls treated with our current induction standard of Lenalidomide-Dexamethasone (L-Dex). Methods: 30 patients have been enrolled on Cybor-D. Treatment consists of Cy 300mg/m2 p.o. days 1, 8, 15, and 22; BZ 1.3 mg/m2 days 1, 4, 8, and 11, and Dex 40mg p.o. days 1-4, 9-12, 17-20. Prophylactic use of acyclovir, a quinolone and antifungal prophylaxis was highly recommended for all patients on study. Growth factors were allowed. As a relevant contemporaneous control for speed and depth of response, we used 33 patients treated on a recent Mayo Clinic trial of L-Dex (Rajkumar. Blood: 2005 106;4050-3). Response was defined according to IMWG criteria although in the current trial, bone marrows for confirmation of CR are not yet available on all patients. Results: At time of current analysis, 17 patients on Cybor-D were evaluable through at least one cycle for response and toxicity. Baseline characteristics included mean age of 57, 29% female, 41/24% ISS stage II/III. There were statistically more early stage patients on L-Dex; otherwise, baseline patient characteristics were similar. The mean % decline in monoclonal (M) protein from baseline following cycles 1-4 of Cybor-D were 71%, 90%, 93%, 96%. This compares favorably with L-Dex where equivalent % decline in M proteins were 66%, 77%, 80%, and 79%. Thus, in preliminary results, Cybor-D produces a more rapid initial decline and mean % reduction in M protein than L-Dex. Overall response rate ( PR) after one cycle of Cybor-D was 77% with 36% obtaining VGPR (L-Dex 73% and 18% respectively). The % of patients obtaining VGPR after each cycle was 36%, 64%, 77%, and 100% for Cybor-D as compared to 18%, 36%, 42%, and 33% for L-Dex. The overall VGPR at the end of four cycles of Cybor-D is currently100% ( 66%nCR using older nomeclature). Major toxicities grade 3 for Cybor-D included hematologic (37%), hyperglycemia (15%) and neuropathy (11%). Conclusions: In summary, for newly-diagnosed MM patients, four cycles of Cybor-D produces more frequent, rapid and deep responses when contrasted with historical L-Dex controls. Further confirmation of response rates and effect on TTP will be required.Abstract #3601 appears in Blood, Volume 110, issue 11, November 16, 2007

Currently tied for third place in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings, the Stetson women's soccer team returns home this weekend to host USC Upstate and ETSU in a pair of conference matches at the Athletic Training Center.
The Hatters (4-6-2, 2-1-1) are coming off of an exciting undefeated 1-0-1 road weekend against Lipscomb and Northern Kentucky, which gave Stetson a total of seven points in league play, putting the team behind only FGCU and Kennesaw State in the standings.
Stetson came from behind in both matches; scoring in the final two minutes of regulation to tie 3-3 at Lipscomb, and then scoring in the final three minutes of the second half to top Northern Kentucky 2-1 on Sunday. Sophomore Danielle Hurme, who scored the tying goal in each of last weekend's games, was named A-Sun Defensive Player of the Week for her efforts.
USC Upstate (3-6-3, 0-2-1) has improved over last season's output, already holding a 3-6-3 record after finishing 2012 with an overall mark of 3-15-0. The Spartans have opened A-Sun play 0-2-1, falling to ETSU and Kennesaw State, but playing to a draw with Mercer last Sunday.
ETSU (6-5-1, 2-1-0) is just behind the Hatters in the A-Sun standings with six points. The Bucs began conference play with a decisive 7-1 win over Upstate. They then fell to Mercer 3-2 and defeated Kennesaw State 2-0 last weekend.
Stetson will host Upstate on Friday at 7:00 p.m., and then welcome ETSU to the ATC on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. Both matches will be available to watch on HatterVision. Live Stats, the @StetsonWSoccer Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates.
This weekend's contests will have general admission tickets priced at $5 for adults and $4 for seniors and students. All home soccer matches are free to Stetson students, faculty, and staff with a Stetson University ID. For more information call (386) 738-HATS.
• Stetson went undefeated on the road last weekend, tying Lipscomb 3-3 and defeating Northern Kentucky 2-1.
• The Hatters stand in a tie for third place with a 2-1-1 Atlantic Sun Conference record, which is good for seven points.
• Stetson has already topped its overall and league win totals from a year ago. Stetson was 3-13-1 and 1-7-1 in 2013.
• The Hatters' three goals against Lipscomb were a season-best, and the most since a 5-2 win against FAU on Sept. 8, 2012. It also marked the most goals in a road game for Stetson since a 4-1 win at Campbel in 2010.
• Sophomore Danielle Hurme scored two goals last weekend, and was named A-Sun Defensive Player of the Week for her efforts.

Amid Affirmative Action Ruling, Some Data on Race and College Enrollment
The Supreme Court's affirmative-action ruling Tuesday said that states may end racial preferences at public universities. What are the numbers behind race and college enrollment?
Data from the National Center for Education Statistics suggest that there has been a convergence among races going to college in recent years. But though there has been progress in equal representation in college for high-school graduates of different races, affirmative action can only help with one barrier to higher education. The high-school graduation rates for black and Hispanic students remain low and there are growing disparities by income.
College-enrollment rates by race: Among all high-school graduates, about 67% went to either a two- or four-year college, according to the most recent Digest of Educational Statistics prepared by the Education Department. That number is a three-year moving average for 2012 that aims to smooth out annual volatility.
Breaking it down by race, 69% of Hispanic high-school graduates, 67% of white graduates and 62% of black graduates went on to college in 2012. More than 80% of Asian graduates enrolled in a higher-education program.
Race gaps in enrollment: The disparity between the non-Asian races has been narrowing in recent years. The difference between white and black college attendance went from an average of 13 percentage points from 1980-2008 to just just five percentage points from 2009 to 2012. The gap between Hispanics and whites went from 10 points to five percentage points over the same period. In fact, the most recent data show that a greater share of Hispanic graduates went to college in 2012 than whites.
Graduation rates: Despite the convergence in college enrollment in recent years, these data only look at students who have completed high school. And there remains a large racial disparity there. In the 2011-2012 academic year, the averaged freshman graduation rate for whites was 85% and 93% for Asian/Pacific Islander students. But by contrast the graduation rate was 76% for Hispanics and just 68% for black students.
Income gaps in enrollment: The biggest disparities in college enrollment are among varying incomes. More than 80% of high-income graduates go on to college, compared to 66% of middle-income students and just 52% of low-income graduates. All of those shares are higher than the 1980s, but the gaps between them haven't narrowed much in over 30 years.
In fact, the gap between the highest and lowest income students looks like it's going the wrong way. In the years between the 2001 and 2008 recession, the gap averaged about 26 percentage points, but from 2009 to 2012, it has averaged 30 percentage points.

(NAPSI)—There could be good news for many people who take vitamins and other nutritional supplements to help protect their health. A new study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) helps clarify which are most effective and safe for treating age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common eye disease among people age 50 and over.
The Problem
AMD breaks down cells in the back of the eye that provide sharp central vision, necessary for reading, driving and recognizing faces. Advanced AMD can lead to significant vision loss and is a leading cause of blindness in the
The Good News
Fortunately, the National Eye Institute's (NEI) Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) found that a combination of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene and the minerals zinc and copper-called the AREDS formulation-can help reduce the risk of advanced AMD by 25 percent.
The Latest News
In a follow-up study, AREDS2, the researchers discovered that adding omega-3 fatty acids didn't really help; neither did adding lutein and zeaxanthin. Lutein and zeaxanthin together, however, proved to be a safe and effective substitute for beta-carotene, which has been linked to lung cancer risk in smokers.
Doctors' Advice
Study findings show a link between beta-carotene use and lung cancer risk not only for smokers but even for former smokers. "Adding lutein and zeaxanthin in place of beta-carotene could improve the AREDS formulation for both smokers and nonsmokers," said lead investigator Emily Chew, M.D.
"Millions of older Americans take nutritional supplements to protect their sight without clear guidance regarding benefit and risk," said NEI director Paul A. Sieving, M.D., Ph.D.
Many risk factors contribute to AMD, including age, genetics and diet. People over 60 should get a dilated eye exam at least once a year and consult an eye care professional before using AREDS supplements.

Roger Hughes led Stetson Football into its re-inauguration in 2013, 57 years after the Hatters last took to the gridiron, and continues to work tirelessly to build the program from the ground up as the Hatters enter into their fourth season of competition.
Hughes came to Stetson after 10 seasons as head coach at Princeton, where he won the 2006 Ivy League championship and was the only coach in the history of Ivy League football to improve his team's win total by two games in three consecutive seasons.
He is one of only five men to have served as head coach of Princeton football for at least a decade. That list includes a trio of College Football Hall of Famers: Bill Roper (1910-11, 1919-30), Charlie Caldwell (1945-56) and Dick Colman (1957-68).
Hughes was an Eddie Robinson Award finalist for Coach of the Year honors in 2006, after leading a Princeton squad that was picked to finish sixth in the preseason media poll to a 9-1 record and the Ivy League title. The nine wins were the most at Princeton since the Colman-led 1964 team and the Ivy League title was the first for the Tigers in more than a decade.
Even with an entirely new offensive line, his offense finished first in the Ivy League in both passing yards and total yards in 2006, and his senior quarterback, Jeff Terrell, became Princeton's first Bushnell Cup winner (Ivy League Player of the Year) since 1995, when current Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett won the award.
The 2006 Ivy League title followed a brilliant 2005 season, when the Tigers earned their first seven-win campaign since 1995.
Hughes also had significant success helping his players move to the next level. In 2006 alone, four Tigers signed with NFL teams.
At Princeton, Hughes worked with the quarterbacks, as he does at Stetson, and his success is evident in the Tigers record books. Under his tutelage, three quarterbacks placed in the top six in all-time passing at Princeton.
Hughes was named head coach at Princeton in January 2000, and he took a team starting 10 freshmen and sophomores to a 3-7 record in his first season. Along the way Princeton improved its Ivy League record by two games, to 3-4, and defeated a pair of 7-3 teams, Brown and Yale.
Hughes coached 74 All-Ivy League players, including 24 first-team selections, and several All-America selections. He also coached nine District II Academic All-Americas, three Roper Trophy winners for the top senior male athlete at Princeton and two of the four winners of the 2000 National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award. During the 2002 season, running back Cameron Atkinson was one of 14 overall winners of the National Scholar-Athlete Scholarship, and he was the lone winner from the Ivy League.
Hughes arrived at Princeton after eight years as offensive coordinator at Dartmouth, where he led an offense that propelled the Big Green to a 22-game winning streak and two Ivy League championships. While at Dartmouth, he helped develop Jay Fiedler into an NFL quarterback.
Hughes helped the Big Green to Ivy League championships in 1992 and 1996. He coached players who set 14 of the top 15 school single-game passing and total yardage records, as well as four of the top five single-season totals. The 1996 team went 10-0, one of four teams in league history to do so.
Born in Crawford, Nebraska, on September 4, 1960, Hughes played football (tight end) and golf at Doane College, graduating in 1982. He moved on to the University of Nebraska as a graduate assistant, helping coach the Cornhuskers to the 1984 Sugar Bowl and 1985 Fiesta Bowl while earning his Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology in 1987.
His career then took him to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, where as running backs coach he helped his team to a conference championship and a berth in the NCAA Division III quarterfinals. His next stop was Cameron University in Lawton, Okla., where he spent three years as offensive coordinator and strength and conditioning coach. While at Cameron he also worked with the quarterbacks and the offensive line before leaving in 1992 to join John Lyons' staff at Dartmouth.
Hughes and his wife Laura have one daughter, Maddison, who is a sophomore, and a member of the golf team at Doane College.

During last year's festivities in Ladson, fair organizers begged him to race into town from his digs in the Upstate to fill in for the Village People, which he gladly did.
This year, McCain and his quintet will return to the fair's Lakefront Stage under their own steam.
"I remember we just bolted down there to Ladson," McCain says, speaking with Charleston Scene last week. "I skidded in there in a rental car with about 15 minutes to spare. We just went on stage and did our thing. It worked out really well, and the fair organizers seemed very happy, which led to us developing a relationship coming back this year.
"We have P.A. and lights on hand whenever we need it, so we can mobilize in a moment's notice," he adds. "We do get a lot of rescue gigs these days. I think the word had gotten out. Last year when the Village People couldn't make the show, it was just one of those bizarre things."
Fortunately for McCain, even most Village People fans are familiar with his catchy '90s-era hits "I'll Be" (from the 1997 album "Misguided Roses") and "I Could Not Ask for More" (from 1999's "Messenger"), both of which cast him into the soul side of Americana-pop alongside Carolina brethren Hootie & the Blowfish.
"I assume that at least 80 percent of the people in the crowd knows 'I'll Be' or maybe 'I Could Not Ask for More,' and that's pretty much all they know," McCain says. "I do get a lot of mileage on the talking head stuff on VH1 and other cable networks (where he regularly makes appearances as a guest commentator). At most of the places I play, I have about 70 minutes to convince them that it's good and fun. It's always a fun challenge."
His current repertoire features a broad mix of classic soul, funky rock 'n' roll, country and folk-pop.
"These days, I just go out on stage cold, without the benefit of a string of hits and a lot of notoriety," McCain says. "People are sometimes like, 'Who's this guy again?' So I have to go out, connect with them and get them on my side by the time I play the songs they know. The Coastal Carolina Fair is the quintessential version of that kind of gig."
A full line-up
Over the next two weeks, the Coastal Carolina Fair celebrates its 57th anniversary at the Exchange Park in Ladson. In addition to the rides, games, exhibits and tasty fare, live music has played a major role in the family-friendly fair fun over the years.
This year's concert schedule at the spacious Lakefront Stage amphitheater, a 5,000-seat venue nestled in the middle of the fairgrounds, will feature a mix of contemporary country, pop-rock and oldies bands.
The Lakefront Stage concert series will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Thursday with a performance by pop-country singer Jana Kramer, who's touring behind a melodic new single titled "Why Ya Wanna."
McCain will be spending Halloween night at home with his family in Greenville, but he and his bandmates will travel at a more leisurely pace this year toward Ladson for their concert at 8 p.m. Friday.
"It's the fair … what's better than the fair?" McCain says. "It might seem like an uncommon setting for a band like us, but you've got to remember that we often play concerts at festivals, amphitheaters and outdoor settings."
North Carolina-based country-rock band Parmalee will share the stage with songwriter Rachel Farley at 8 p.m. Saturday. Parmalee's recent single "Carolina" is topping the country radio charts this season.
Nashville-based bluegrass/gospel ensemble Dailey & Vincent, led by singer/guitarist Jamie Dailey and string player Darrin Vincent, hit the stage at 5 p.m. Sunday. Their new album "Brothers of the Highway" leans heavily into traditional mountain music territory.
On Monday, the series continues with a performance by country/folk duo Lorrie Morgan & Pam Tillis at 7:30 p.m. The Nashville-based pair have been touring and recording under the moniker Grits & Glamour this year.
Legendary disco/pop vocal band the Village People will make up for last year's last-minute cancellation with a show at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday performing their outlandish hits "Macho Man," "Go West," "In the Navy," "Can't Stop the Music" and "YMCA."
Classic rock fans will be pleased to catch a glimpse of Flint, Mich.-based guitar-rock combo Grand Funk Railroad, featuring original members Mel Schacher on bass and Don Brewer on drums and vocals. Listen for such hits as "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)," "We're an American Band" and "Shinin' On" at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The Coastal Carolina Fair's concerts continue next week with performances by country singer/songwriter Jerrod Niemann on Nov. 7, modern-pop singer Britt Nicole on Nov. 8, and country up-and-comer Brett Eldredge on Nov. 9. Southern-rock/country man Colt Ford will raise a ruckus during an early-evening concert during the final day Nov. 10.
All concerts are free and open to the public after gate admission.
State standout
McCain says he's excited to stroll the fairground and people-watch early in the day before he sets up for his show.
"I absolutely have to walk all around the fair to see who's there, hanging out," he says. "It's fun, man, just checking out the crowds, the rides, the fried food and the scene. I always feel like I'm back in seventh grade, so it really suits me."
But McCain and his bandmates will mostly focus their attention to their duties as the only home-state act on the fair's musical roster. McCain was even a Charleston resident for a stint in the late '90s and early 2000s, so this show is almost an official homecoming event.
McCain's current backing group features longtime lead guitarist Larry Chaney, guitarist/singer Pete "Liverpool" Riley, sax player and keyboardist Craig Shields, drummer Markeya "Tez" Sherard and newly enlisted bassist Jason Pomar.
"It's a great band," McCain says. "Craig Shields has been playing with me for 23 years, and Larry's been with me for 17 years. Tez is practically a new guy at nearly six years. Our bassist Scott Bannevich was hired to play with Lynyrd Skynyrd, so he went to the big leagues with our blessings. I've been a fan of Jason Pomar's Atlanta-based band Sun Domingo, so it was great to snag him."
McCain and his crew recently released a digital 11-song concert album titled "Live Versions." The collection features old and new material self-recorded on their own mixing console.
"We recorded several shows, mixed them, mastered them, and made them available," McCain says. "There are mistakes in there. I make mistakes all the time, but some of my favorite live and studio records have good mistakes. We've been playing live for so long, it was just a fun and easy thing to do."
The digital live album follows McCain's 10th full-length effort, 2011's melodic and emotive "Mercy Bound." That collection came from a fruitful collaboration with singer/songwriter Maia Sharp, a well-regarded musician known for her song work with such country and pop acts as Cher, Trisha Yearwood, Art Garfunkel and Bonnie Raitt.
Sharp and McCain first worked together in 2004 on their duet "Say Anything."
"Writing and recording with Maia Sharp is transcendent, and I love her," McCain says. "She's the deep end of the pool, musically and emotionally. We did that album because we loved working together and we liked the collection of songs we put together. I didn't care about expectations of sales or anything. Those days have been gone for a long time, which is a relief."
Compared to his commercially successful albums on the Atlantic label in the late 1990s, "Mercy Bound" sounds more organic and raw. It's a heartfelt, honest, expressive effort on McCain's part, and it demonstrates a strong sense of artistic maturity.
"I really don't spend a lot of time in self-contemplation, musically," McCain adds. "I try not to contemplate my existence musically at all. There was a time in my 20s when every single was spent furiously pouring over airplay charts and Nielsen SoundScan lists, strategically planning the next phone call to the next program director, and doing everything I could possibly do to further the idea of myself. I abandoned all of that when I left Atlantic Records and became an indie artist."
McCain is in better control over his songwriting, arranging, recording and touring these days more than ever before, happily working without the distractions of major label marketing and high-dollar wheeling and dealing.
"I like that being independent isn't easy," he says. "It's a challenge to make payroll and keep things running, but I like turning wrenches and changing the oil in the tour bus and all of it. If I didn't love it, this whole thing would have been over years ago. It became more about being what I hoped to be rather than just selling something."

Former Gov. Mark Sanford's cellphone has been flooded with calls since he included his number in a full-page newspaper ad Sunday.
AARP voter guide
The AARP's voter guide is available at aarp.org/sc or by calling 866-389-5655.
He's heard from supporters, of course, but not everyone has been friendly.
The number also was sent across the country this week via email by House Majority PAC, a Democratic-leaning Super PAC affiliated with House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. Sanford's cell lit up with calls from Houston, Denver, Illinois and other states.
"I had hundreds of calls from around the United States of America," the Republican congressional candidate said as he displayed a poster showing a sample of them. "What you have to say is, 'Why is Nancy Pelosi working so hard in this race?' "
Sanford took out an ad in The Post and Courier that talked about his "rough week" since a trespassing accusation lodged against him by his ex-wife Jenny became public. He put his cellphone number in the ad and invited voters to call him if they had questions.
Sanford is locked in a battle with Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch for the 1st District congressional seat. The special election is May 7.
Meanwhile, Sanford picked up an endorsement Thursday from former House colleague Ron Paul.
"Mark Sanford has always been a strong ally of the Liberty Movement. Help him get to Congress. Donate today!" Paul wrote in a fundraising note.
Sanford continued to hammer at his opponent Thursday over the involvement of Pelosi and others in the race. He started the day by waving 1,000 one-dollar bills around Marion Square to decry what he called the influence of outside money, including about $400,000 from the Pelosi-affiliated PAC.
"Are we going to let folks here in South Carolina decide this race, folks here in the 1st Congressional District?" he asked. "Or are we going to let folks from outside try to buy this race?"
Colbert Busch later issued a news release that said more than two-thirds of her contributions have come from within the state, with more than 10,000 people giving an average of $63 each in the latest reporting period. Although the latest filings had yet to be published by the Federal Election Commission, the campaign said Colbert Busch pulled in $871,000 for the reporting period and has $254,000 on hand.
Earlier, she gathered with about 25 supporters in front of the West Ashley offices of the Social Security Administration to receive the backing of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. The committee has about 26,000 South Carolina members, including almost 4,000 in the 1st District.
Sanford was critical of the endorsement, which was announced by the group's president and CEO, Max Richtman.
"If you look at their group ... 98 percent of all their donations and support have gone to Democrats," Sanford said, "which I think is telling about their objectivity in this race."
Retirement security and health care loom as pivotal issues with the likelihood of a good turnout among middle-age and older voters May 7. More than 56 percent of the district's registered voters are 45 or older. In Beaufort County, a retiree haven, that figure climbs to 68 percent.
Both Colbert Busch and Sanford have said they believe in protecting Social Security and Medicare, at least for existing beneficiaries. But they have struck different chords as far as needed reforms.
Sanford has said the programs must be modernized for future retirees, and he often repeats this fact: The Congressional Budget Office projects that, at current rates, the federal government in 12 years will have enough income to cover only the interest on the debt and entitlements.
Colbert Busch said she opposes any effort to privatize Social Security — one of Sanford's signature issues during his first time in Congress — but talks about the need to root out fraud and waste in Medicare, as well as the need to let the federal government negotiate lower prices from drug companies.
Richtman said Colbert Busch met with his staff in Washington, and he invited her 1st District competitors to be vetted by the group. He said Sanford declined.
"I know him (Sanford) from when he was in the Congress," Richtman said. "There wasn't a more active member of Congress pushing privatizing Social Security."
The candidates' willingness to consider privatization has emerged as a major difference.
"The governor still very much believes in letting people have ownership of some portion of their retirement and some flexibility to look for higher-yield investments," Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer said. "At the same time, he says any entitlement reform should not affect benefits of those currently in the system."
Older voters tend to participate at higher rates in special elections, said Pete Jeffries of the American Association of Retired Persons. AARP doesn't endorse candidates, but Jeffries also made the trip from Washington to Charleston this week to help distribute its voter guide.
Colbert Busch began the day in Beaufort, where Mayor Billy Keyserling endorsed her, the first time he has taken such a step.
"We need someone we can call in Washington who will pick up the phone, listen to what we have to say and help our community get stronger," he said.
Reach Robert Behre at 937-5771.
First Congressional District candidate Mark Sanford holds $1,000 in one-dollar bills as he explains that organizations around the country are spending $600,000 to defeat him in his bid for the seat.×

Deutsche Telekom AG's (ETR:DTE) T-Mobile
USA is currently a distant fourth place in subscribers (appr. 32.3 million),
behind Verizon Wireless (VZ)
(appr. 104m), AT&T Inc. (T)
(appr. 98m), and Sprint Nextel Corp. (S)
(appr. 51m). However, T-Mobile still has some loyal fans who swear by it.
I. Unlimited Data* for Everyone! (*Restrictions
On Tuesday, the company unveiled [press
release] its long-awaited family plans and dropped some good news for its fans
-- it will be offering "unlimited" connections after all. Okay,
so there's a tiny bit of a catch here. T-Mobile is adopting a unique
approach. It will offer capped quantities of high-speed data
at prices outlined in our
previous piece. Once you exhaust your allotment, though, there are no
overages -- you simply get bumped down to a slower data rate.
The plan is quite sporting and is really second
only to Sprint, who claims ostensibly to offer fully unlimited high-speed data.
To recap, T-Mobile offers a broad range of data
options -- 200 MB for $15 USD/month or 2 GB for $20 USD/month, 5 GB per
month allowance for $30 USD/month, or a 10 GB allowance for $60 USD/month.
A 2-line family plan with unlimited voice and text
starts at $100 USD/month for a 2 GB/month high-speed data allowance, with
unlimited data, text, and voice. The actual price is likely be around
$130 USD/month before fees, as T-Mobile charges a $15 USD/month smart phone
The new offerings make AT&T [1]
and Verizon's data plans look even worse. Verizon, the nation's largest
carrier charges customers more
than any other carrier for data, doesn't offer unlimited data plans, and
offers them the less options when it comes to capped plans.
T-Mobile's "unlimited" data plans will
also be available on tablets and wireless internet PC sticks.
II. The Great 4G Robbery -- More Marketing
It's hard to deny that T-Mobile is offering some
great value to customers at these price points. If there's one
disappointing thing to the news, it's T-Mobile continued insistence at rebranding
HSPA+ as "4G". John Clelland, T-Mobile marketing SVP
states, "T-Mobile is committed to making the always-on benefits of
smartphones and tablets more accessible and worry-free for all Americans.
Customers want to enjoy all that the mobile Web has to offer, but they don't
want to pay for more than they need or worry about bill shock. Our incredible
value comes from the combination of our nationwide 4G network, exceptional
device portfolio and affordable plans that offer unlimited data access without
Let's take a quick refresher on this issue.
Currently Verizon offers
LTE -- a true 4G technology -- in a handful of cities.
Similarly, Sprint
is offering WiMAX -- another true 4G technology -- in a handful of cities.
Meanwhile AT&T and T-Mobile, behind in their 3G technology
deployment, have decided to focus on expanding their 3G coverage and rebranding
an advanced 3G technology HSPA+ (often referred to as "3.5G") as
The common defense among AT&T and T-Mobile
fans is that Sprint and Verizon haven't lived up to the data speeds promised in
their respective technologies' 4G specs. This is certainly fair -- they
haven't -- but it overlooks that AT&T and T-Mobile aren't even living up to
the lesser HSPA+ spec. Overall, the net result is that no one is living
up to spec., but Verizon and Sprint offer a bit faster connections where 4G
coverage is available.
A final note is that HSPA+ and 4G aren't just
flexible terms that these carriers come up with. They're specifications
that were drafted by formal vendor-neutral bodies of professional engineers.
It's disappointing that AT&T and T-Mobile choose the path of
continued skullduggery, trying to bamboozle clueless users into thinking 3G (or
3.5G, perhaps) is 4G. One can only hope customers educate themselves, so
as to understand their true options.
III. Forever Unlimited?
That issue aside, to quickly recap it appears
T-Mobile has positioned itself in a virtual tie with Sprint as the best value
for customers on the market. Which is better depends on local coverage
(3G/4G), how important high-speed data is for you, and how much data you use.
That leaves AT&T in second place, and Verizon in last, as generally
the worst value on the market (though in a few regions its strong coverage
trumps the cheaper plans).
The one looming questions is what will happen when
and if the AT&T/T-Mobile
merger gets federal approval. AT&T could opt to preserve the
brand and pricing -- or it could opt to force customers into its own less
favorable offerings. In that respect, T-Mobile customers' greatest enemy
may be uncertainty.
quote: Wrong. The standards have not been lowered to accommodate HSPA+, WiMAX, or LTE...
quote: ITU has determined that "LTE-Advanced" and "WirelessMAN-Advanced" should be accorded the official designation of IMT-Advanced. As the most advanced technologies currently defined for global wireless mobile broadband communications, IMT-Advanced is considered as "4G", although it is recognized that this term, while undefined, may also be applied to the forerunners of these technologies, LTE and WiMax, and to other evolved 3G technologies providing a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed.
quote: Murst, if everyone says you are wrong you should probably stop talking.

South Carolina and Clemson added to their already talented 2014 football recruiting classes last week with commitments from the top receivers in South Carolina and Florida, respectively.
Gaffney wide receiver Shaq Davidson had long favored the Gamecocks, and he made his decision official last Tuesday.
"Ever since my tenth grade year when I tore my ACL, I felt like they were the ones there the whole time recruiting me the hardest," Davidson said. "They were loving and caring and very welcoming. I just felt like that was the place for me to go."
Clemson also landed a commitment last Tuesday from wide receiver Artavis Scott of Tarpon Springs, Fla. He picked the Tigers over Florida and Central Florida.
Scott attended one of Clemson's camps last month, and that's when the Tigers moved to the top of his list.
"I liked them ever since I went there," Scott said. "I think it was a good spot for me and I think I fit there. It took a little minute for me to decide where I wanted to go, but after I put things together, I just knew where it was."
Scott is one of the fastest receivers in Florida. Last season, he had 64 catches for 995 yards and 10 touchdowns. He is Clemson's 13th commitment for the 2014 class and the second wide receiver.
In other recruiting news:
DB Al Harris Jr. of Fort Lauderdale said last week he plans to make his commitment within the next two weeks. USC has been his leader and remains so. "Nothing has changed so far," said Harris, who talked Tuesday night with Gamecocks recruiter Grady Brown. "We talked about my visits and my training. I really like their school, like what they have to offer football-wise and academically. And I'm real comfortable with the coaches." Harris said he'd like to take some visits between July 12-24 and is looking at USC, Louisville, Florida State, N.C. State and Arkansas for those stops. He feels like USC is showing the strongest interest in him, and when decision time comes, he'll sit down with his father and discuss the pros and cons of each school.
DL Kendall Baker of Atlanta committed to Georgia last week. Clemson was also on his short list.
DL Peyton Newell of Hawatha, Kan., released a final four of USC, Nebraska, Kansas and Kansas State. In an interview in June, Newell said he actually had USC and Nebraska as his finalists, with no leader. He visited Nebraska for a camp in June, and he hopes to make a return trip to Columbia in July for the Black Magic Showcase Camp. Newell will announce his decision on Aug. 30.
DL Abu Lamin of Fort Scott JC, Kan., had hoped to visit USC on Friday or Saturday with his mother while he was home in Fayetteville, N.C., but his mother was not able to make the trip. Lamin made an official visit to USC last month and has the Gamecocks as his current favorite. Lamin will be taking other visits. He is looking at an official visit to Georgia on Friday, and he is set to visit Arkansas on July 19. He also plans to visit Tennessee before his season or during his bye week, and Kentucky is trying to get him in for a visit. He has also been to Florida for an official visit. Lamin will be a mid-year transfer.
DL Lamont Gaillard of Fayetteville, N.C., has scheduled a pair of visits for July 20. Kipp Adams of ESPN.com reports Gaillard and his mother will visit Clemson and Georgia on that day. Gaillard has named Georgia as his favorite but has also maintained strong interest in Clemson. He visited Clemson in early March. He has also visited Florida and at one point favored the Gators.
Sophomore DB Evan Cruz (class of 2016) of Melbourne, Fla., spent some time in Columbia on Thursday on his way to the Grand Strand. Cruz did not meet with any staff, but he did check out Williams-Brice Stadium. "South Carolina's football stadium... Oh my... First SEC stadium and I'm in awe," Cruz tweeted. Cruz is just appearing on the recruiting scene. He started in the secondary for Viera High School as a freshman and also played backup running back.
DE Keyon Brown of Wachula, Fla., released his top five in order as Georgia, Florida State, Miami, Clemson and Tennessee.
DB Deion Hallmon of Weston, Fla., released his top five list as Florida State, Syracuse, Wisconsin, Rutgers and West Virginia. USC was on his previous short list.
OL Bentley Spain of Charlotte, who at one point appeared to favor USC, plans to make his decision this month. North Carolina and Stanford are now his top two.
USC 2015 commitment DE Arden Key of Atlanta visited USC on Tuesday with his father and told TheBigSpur.com he remains 100 percentcommitted to the Gamecocks. Key and his father spent the day with Gamecocks recruiter Lorenzo Ward. Key visited Auburn last month, and that raised some flags among Gamecocks fans about his thinking.
Stratford's Jacob Park and Clemson commitment Deshaun Watson of Gainesville, Ga., were chosen as part of the Elite 11 quarterback class for 2013. Park, who is committed to Georgia, was ranked 6th and Watson was ranked 10th in the final rankings released late Wednesday night. Former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer and his staff selected the 11 quarterbacks from a group of 18 that competed. Sean White of Fort Lauderdale, who is uncommitted, was named the Elite 11 MVP. USC, Auburn, Wisconsin and Tennessee are some of the schools in touch with him, and he's working on setting up visits later this summer.
Baseball news
SS Marcus Mooney of Palm Beach State JC, Fla.,, the brother of former USC shortstop Peter Mooney, has signed with USC for the 2013 class. He also considered N.C. State, Florida State, Miami and Florida Atlantic. He will have three years of eligibility. His team won the Florida JUCO championship this past season and finished second in the Junior College World Series. Last season, Mooney batted .327 with 30 RBIs and 18 stolen bases.
USC also landed a commitment from junior second baseman Everett Eynon of AC Flora. Eynon helped lead the Falcons to the Class AAA state championship last season. He's the 16th commitment for USC's 2014 class and the seventh from South Carolina.
OF Danny Blair of Bel Air, Md., also committed to USC last week for the 2015 class after wrapping up a visit to the school. Blair picked the Gamecocks over Florida, Arizona State and LSU. PerfectGame.com ranks the left-handed hitting Blair among the best outfielders in the country in his class. Blair was the MVP of the Good Will Games in Australia last winter. Blair is the Gamecocks' sixth commitment for the 2015 class and the second for the outfield.
Clemson has a commitment for the 2014 class from OF Drew Wharton of Marietta, Ga. He batted .316 last season with 11 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. He also worked out of the bullpen and recorded 3 saves and a 2.72 ERA. He also had offers from Tulane, Kennesaw State and College of Charleston. He's Clemson's sixth commitment for the 2014 class.

Thursday, July 10, 2014
Riley Csernica studied bio-engineering at Clemson University and finished her undergraduate degree in August 2013. At the time, she was a 23-year-old trying to sell a shoulder brace that she helped invent as an undergrad.
She and her partner were meeting and working out of cafes around the area like Panera Bread Company and Starbucks, trying to build up their business.
At the time I had a prototype that no one would buy at least I thought, she said.
In January Csernica joined the Harbor Accelerator program, which offers a 14-week business program with resources and mentorships for entrepreneurs to help start their businesses.
Csernica ended up selling her shoulder brace to Charleston Stingrays hockey player Anthony Collins for $20 and Csernicas company Tarian Orthotics is now working to sell a nicer version of the brace for $125 which is expected to go up to $200 once it reaches mass distribution.
Csernica said her team is currently talking with major distributors in their field and it is thanks to the Harbor Accelerator program for giving her that motivation.
It just takes out the what if and makes it a reality, she said.
Csernica spoke at the Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chambers Power Hour on July 9, when Harbor co-founder and director John Osbourne presented the Harbor Entrepreneur Center to attendees.
The Harbor is expanding from its location in Mt. Pleasant to Summerville, where it will occupy the SC BB&T space attached to the Visitors Center on N. Main Street. The new Harbor location will open in September, Osbourne said. The Summerville site is the first expansion from the existing site in Mt. Pleasant.
The whole region has been so blessed in economic development in the past five years, Osbourne said. We knew for a lot of good economic development to continue we needed founders of companies to connect with one another.
The Harbor provides space, mentors and networking opportunities for innovative, scalable businesses. The goal is to create collision throughout the entrepreneur community.
We call it the Harbor for a reason, he said. We call it the Harbor because we knew entrepreneurship is happening all over the region and needed to be connected in some way.
The state Department of Commerce provided a grant for $250,000 to help the organization move forward. Aside from the Harbor Accelerator program, which will run twice a year, the organization is launching two other programs: Forum and Propel.
Propel is similar to the Accelerator program, except it goes for a year: it is for companies who will meet in provided office space with a mentor once a month for a year.
Forum is for the existing founder-level people who already have a running business with three or more employees and more than $250,000 in revenue. The Harbor provides these people with networking opportunities; they meet once a month for a year and also have a mentor.
Businesses join these programs by applying online at harborec.com.
If someone wants to simply work out of the space well offer working space out of there also, he said. If you dont want the mentorship but youre working out of your home and you want to be connected in this environment, then you can ask for that. If you are involved in any of the programs in the Summerville site, you have access to all of the other sites that will be opening.
Osbourne said he excited about the organizations expansion.
I cant thank the Summerville community enough for embracing whats happening, he said. Were having a lot of fun.

The owner of the company buying the old Walmart building on McKinley Parkway in Hamburg says he acquired the building through a legitimate business deal, and not because town leaders changed the zoning code.
Matt Stucke, an owner of Worldwide Protective Products, described as "outrageous" the claims of Buffalo Sabre Patrick Kaleta and his allies that the town improperly changed the zoning code so that Worldwide could locate to the former Walmart.
"This was a bid process and it was 100 percent Walmart's choice who they wanted to sell the building to," Stucke said.
Worldwide Protective Products offered $2 million for the property; Kaleta and his group offered $1.3 million.
The Orchard Park company's offer was made even though light manufacturing with more than four employees was not allowed in the zone. But Stucke said that was not an issue for him because of the low-impact manufacturing. He said it is very common to amend zoning codes, and the same thing occurred at its North Carolina factory, which is located in a former Kmart.
"We did ask if it would be a possibility" to rezone, Stucke said. But he added "there was no deal with the town beforehand."
But the attorneys for the Kaleta group, Terrence M. Connors and Patrick D. McNally, maintain the town used improper procedures to amend the code and helped one business over another.
When Kaleta, several family members and a foundation they created offered $1.3 million for the 130,000-square-foot building, they said they intended to transform it into a center for underserved youth. They envisioned two NHL-regulation ice rinks, an adjoining field house and indoor sports arena, locker rooms, a computer lab for children, pro shops, a coffee shop, and day services available to youth regardless of their financial means, according to court papers.
Now the Kaleta group has informed the town it intends to sue.
"I think it is a nice thing that Kaleta is trying to do and hope the best for him and his organization," Stucke said, "but getting all sue-happy because you lost a bid due to not bidding high enough is a big waste of his time, and he should use that time to move further to finding a facility that will suit his needs."
The Hamburg IDA granted Worldwide mortgage and sales tax exemptions, and a 10-year property tax abatement under its guidelines for adaptive reuse projects.
The company has 35 employees in a 30,000-square-foot building it leases on North Benzing Road in Orchard Park.
He said the company plans to add 10 to 15 employees after it moves, and it intends to add many more than that.
Stucke said it plans to lease part of the Walmart building to Bounce Magic, a business offering bounce houses and children's parties, and is looking for a tenant for the remainder of the site.
