Marist College broke the game open with a 12-point run in the second half to defeat the Canisius women's basketball team 73-47 in the Koessler Athletic Center on Sunday afternoon. The Golden Griffins drop to 7-11 overall and 3-6 in the Metro Atlantic Athltic Conference.
Senior Jen Lennox and junior Kayla Hoohuli each had 10 points for the Golden Griffins, with Hoohuli scoring in double figures for the fifth consecutive game. Canisius was held to 37.5 percent from the floor and 30 percent from behind the arc.
"We lacked focus and attention to detail throughout the game, something that is imperative when you play against a very good team like Marist," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "It was disappointing to not get a high-energy effort after the way we have played the past few games."
Marist (13-5, 7-1 MAAC) methodically built its lead in the first half. A layup from Lennox cut the deficit to 11-8 at the 14:18 mark before the Red Foxes scored 12 of the next 16 points to take a 23-12 lead with just over eight minutes left. The Griffs got a 3-pointer from senior Jen Morabito just before the halftime buzzer to make it 37-24.
The Red Foxes jumped out to a 19-point lead with 14 minutes left before Canisius scored the next eight points. A layup from Hoohuli capped the run and made the score 51-40. After the teams traded baskets, the Griffs got a stop but committed a turnover on the following possession. That turnover kickstarted a 12-point spurt for the Red Foxes during a span of just over two minutes to build a 23-point lead and put the game away.
Emma O'Connor led all players with the 20 points and 10 rebounds while Casey Dulin had 15 points. Sydney Coffey added 10 points, five rebounds and three steals as Marist shot 47.4 percent from the floor and scored 34 points in the paint.
Canisius begins a stretch of three-straight road games on Friday, when the Golden Griffins play at Fairfield University. Game time at Alumni Hall is set for 7 p.m.
Notes: The five-game stretch in double figures by Hoohuli is the second-longest on the team this season, behind a streak of six straight games by senior Jamie Ruttle… Lennox scored in double figures for the third time this season… Redshirt junior Courtney VandeBovenkamp set a career high with five assists.

We rarely hear anything from this guy, a little insight for Browns fans on his thoughts.
http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.s ... rowns.html
Cleveland, Ohio -- Browns president Mike Holmgren spent more than 30 minutes with the Bull and the Fox on 92.3 The Fan today. Here are some exceprts:
On how he feels after the draft:
"We like the whole draft. But if you were to ask anybody after the draft if they like their draft they'd probably tell you that they liked it. We set out with a strategy of specific areas that we thought we needed to make the team better and we almost got them all. We almost got them all."
On targeting Richardson & trading up:
"Once we made the decision that Trent was going to be the guy we went after; even though you think you're pretty safe at four and we were pretty sure Minnesota wasn't going to take a back because they have a fine running back but you never know if someone is going to hop over you into that spot to take your guy, so we had to talk about how far were we winning to go if we had to move up and make the pick. Once that was decided it was easy. Even though a lot of people said we didn't have to move up, we had to move up. Believe me. And we got our guy. At the end of the day if you get your player then the rest of it doesn't mean a whole lot if you get the player you wanted. We got the player we wanted."
Audio: Mike Holmgren talks about the drafting of Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden, the Browns front office and more:
Did he want Kendall Wright?:
"That's kind of how it came down. We will never know for sure but between the time we picked and the time we got to 22 there was a lot of discussion as you might imagine in our room and as players were coming off of the board. We liked Kendal Wright a lot. And we knew wide receiver was an area that we were going to try and hit in the draft one way or the other but then we also like the quarterback a lot. The decision in essence was made for us. Kendall was taken before us and so it became pretty easy to take the quarterback."
If Wright was there at 22, would he have traded up for Weeden?:
"That was the discussion. Before Kendal was chosen (we asked) 'how are we going to do this' and we talked about it for weeks prior to the draft. If we're willing to take the quarterback at 37, if that's what we thought that we could do because you never know some other team could pop up there and get him and Tannehill had already gone, I said if we're going to take him let's just take him. I didn't pound the table. Pat and Tom and I, we had talked about this so much before the draft that it was not a difficult thing to do and we love the quarterback so we just went ahead and did it."
On perception front office doesn't get fans' passion:
"Respectfully, I think they're wrong. I think what happens is that I'm not out in front and center too much and that's by choice. When I was coaching I was out there and you're doing press conferences and the fans see a lot more of the head coach than they do either the general manager or the president. When I came to Cleveland I think there was a feeling that it would be the same way. In all honesty I don't mind doing that. I like talking to you guys and talking to our fans and when I have a chance I do it but I think in some respects because I coached so long that whoever the coach was going to be here with the Cleveland Browns it would be rather unfair if I was the one out front. So I made the choice not to do that. This season coming up I might be a little bit more out there to answer questions and to do things but really I want to be here to help the head coach to help the general manager in their jobs. I had 25 years of being out front and I don't have to do it anymore but if anyone thinks that it will help, including people in this building, then I'll do it. I've done that on purpose. That's not to slight anybody or keep information or anything like that."
On fans feeling he's not all in with Browns:
"I honestly don't know where that comes from. Maybe it comes from maybe wanting me to be more out there in press conferences and different things but rest assured I'm all in. Kathy and I we love Cleveland and this is our home. I've never had a job anywhere where I wasn't all in and I'm all in here. It's just that I'm not coaching anymore and my role is different. Pat, Tom and I talk every day. We have a great staff and a lot of them worked for me at one time or another and there's great communication here. I have been very comfortable in allowing and wanting to pass the baton to Tom and Pat and let them be the face and voice of the team. That's kind of the way that it should be."
On Seattle radio appearances & saying "them" when referring to Browns & fans:
"The comedy part of it is excellent, I will tell you that. If I misspoke or said a word I certainly didn't mean that. I used to work on that radio show. I had a show and those were the guys I worked with and that's the only reason I did that. They are friends of mine. Once again, this is where am. This is where my heart is, this is what my job is and this is where my mind is."
On going with a new QB:
"I wouldn't say that we made up our mind to go in another direction. We drafted a young quarterback that we think can come in and play right away, he has that type of maturity, but we're not just going to hand him the football. There's going to be a competition as always and as it should be at every position. The quarterback position is talked about the most on any team but I love Colt McCoy. I still love Colt McCoy but I will always try and do what I think we have to do to make the team better and to improve ourselves. We had a chance to get a veteran, not a veteran although he is 28 years old, but a mature quarterback who has a chance to come in with that maturity and contribute right away. Whether that happens or not we have to let it play out. We have to let them compete. We have to let them play and see what happens. The fact that we drafted him so high means that we like him but we also like Colt McCoy and we like Seneca (Wallace) as well."
What about all the attempts to get Luck, RG3 and then drafting Weeden:
"I'm always looking at quarterbacks. I think when you're building a football team you've got to find that guy. So if you think you haven't found him necessarily or you haven't had the time to find him yet if someone comes your way that you think 'OK this guy has a chance to be that guy,' that's not saying the other guy couldn't over a period of years or a couple of seasons but now this guy has a chance to be that guy then maybe you take him. And we took him."
Tom Heckert said in an interview on 92.3 The Fan that Colt would be the starter week 1. Will Weeden be the quarterback in week 1:
"Again we don't know yet. If tom said that Colt would e the quarterback in week one then I think we have to let that thing play out and let them compete. Pat Shurmur has an awful lot to say about that. Both Tom and I are kind of watching from a distance a little bit. I think it'll be obvious and then we'll make the decision. The bottom line is that everybody wants the team to do well. Everyone wants the team to do better. I expect us to take a pretty good jump this next season and so we have to play our best guys. We'll see who they are down the road."
Did comments from McCoy's dad impact offseason decisions or Colt's relationship with the team:
"No, not at all. I'm kind of sorry that it came out like that but as a father myself I totally understand the emotion of it. But it was too bad and I think immediately after it happened, everyone kind of felt like 'gee it's too bad that it happened."
On Seneca Wallace and mentoring:
"I look at that a little different than some people. You mention Jake Delhomme, Jake played in the league a long time and when he couldn't play anymore because of the injury he wanted to do something. He wanted to. That coaching staff allowed him to take an active role, almost to the point of being an assistant coach. If I was still coaching I wouldn't do that. The mentor thing is overblown to me. I'm going to coach the player. I'm not going to have another player coach the player. They can be friends but when it comes to what I want him to do on the football field, that's my call not another player's call. So when Seneca said that and I know Seneca as well as anybody because he played for me, he is a good guy who wants to play football and is a very good player and has always been in a certain role but given the chance he has performed pretty well. Last year none of our quarterbacks had the supporting cast that we needed to get around them. His comments didn't bother me at all. I don't expect any of those guys to be mentors to anybody. I'm the mentor or the coach is the mentor."
Would you be shocked if Seneca and Colt were both on the roster?
"Again, I think we have to let that one play out. I would agree with the comment that you don't see it too often, but you have seen it. When we look at the roster, we're going to do what we feel is best for the team at the particular time, and right now, they're all here and they're competing like crazy, so that's what I want."
On the Peyton Hillis drama and his end here.
"It was too bad because he's a fine football player and there's a bunch of stuff that happened last year that prevented him from being the best he could be. Then he became a free agent and he tested a market and got what he wanted and that was as simple as that. Were we ever in it? We talked to him about coming back, but I'm not sure to be honest with you."
Hillis: Did he quit, did you want him back?
"Once we made the decision that Trent Richardson was going to be our guy, that kind of ended that. You make choices. I will never believe that he quit on the team. He was hurt and it was unfortunate, and a good running attack which we thought we had coming into the season turned out to be less than we thought and it hurt us last year offensively."
Did the locker room think he quit?
"I don't know. Rumors in this business, I don't put too much stock in them. Somebody's got to tell me or if I talk to somebody, I get it straight from the horse's mouth. That's what I believe."
On Pat Shurmur
"Given the circumstances Pat came in on, I think he did okay. I really do. For a first time head coach excited and everything and having to go through the lockout, and with a young team and with the injuries that took place and the Peyton Hillis thing that we talked about. All in all, he probably had to deal with things he never thought in his wildest dreams he'd have to deal with. I know this about Pat Shurmur: he's a bright guy, he has a tremendous work ethic, he knows football, he communicates well with the players and I think having Brad Childress as an offensive coordinator will really help because it frees up Pat to do a lot of head coach type things and get a much better picture of the big picture. He was hard on himself. I think you'll see a big jump this year."
Childress' impact on Pat:
"They'll work hand in hand. And having your coordinator, it frees you up to take an hour and a half of your day where you'd normally be acting as the coordinator in meetings with players or coaches, now he can take that hour and a half and do other things, whether it be studying, planning, thinking or whatever. There is a learning curve (for a head coach). Pat's going to be fine and really considering what he had to go through last year, I thought he did a good job."
On having no coordinator in Shurmur's first year?
"We talked a lot about not having a coordinator. We could've hired somebody to be the coordinator, but we wanted the right person at the right time and because of Pat's background as a coordinator with the Rams, we felt this is possible, we can do this. And now we've got the right guy. We've got Brad now and I think it's going to work out for Pat and for the team. He wasn't overwhelmed. I thought he handled things beautifully. It's just that stuff happens."
Regrets on not getting more wide receivers?
"I wouldn't say regrets. We had plans of trying to get a wide receiver in the draft and got a wide receiver in Benjamin who's really different than the type of receivers we have. This guy's fast on fast, so we can stretch the defense a little bit now with him so that's a good thing. That was a good draft pick in my opinion. The other thing that I expect is that Massaquoi, who's had a couple tough years with injury and not getting the ball thrown enough his way in my opinion and so on and so forth. I think you're going to see him have a little bit of a breakout year and we need him to do that. He has the potential to be a very, very good receiver and no one's seen it yet. If that happens, and we know Little can play, Little had a good rookie year, Cribbs is Cribbs, our tight ends, Watson's back, we should be okay. Having said that, between now and the time we tee it up in training camp, there's a lot of time left to maybe add a player here or there and that could happen."
Lack of activity in free agency:
"We had some wide receivers come in and it didn't happen. There are teams in the league that if you get in a bidding contest with certain teams in the league, it's almost impossible to win. And that's kind of what happened. It's not that we didn't try. It just didn't happen. We'll stick with our philosophy of building through the draft and signing our own free agents."
On any regrets over "with us or against us'' comments:
"No, I was mad at the time. The stuff that came out, it seemed to me that was the press conference dealing with Colt's injury and I was mad. Some of the questions even by your standards -- and you guys never do this -- but some of the questions I was asked were a little bit on the line and I thought I was reasonable in my responses. You want playoff tickets, you can phone me for playoff tickets. (tongue in cheek) Is that what you want me to do? I'm going to be rather selective though, just so you know that."
What are the expectations for this year's team?
"I expect us to take a pretty good jump, I really do. Looking back on last year, our record was what it was, but if you analyze it, we were a couple of snaps of the football by our field goal or PAT snappers, from winning two or three more games. I hadn't seen that happen ever. While the record was very poor, it should've been better without stretching the imagination too much. Are we there yet? No. This year, I expect us to take a little more of a jump. We'll just see what happens at the quarterback position and if that's solidified or we feel like we got the guy, or whoever that is, then I think there's light at the end of the tunnel."
But you could've lost to Miami, Jacksonville and Seattle too:
"My point is, not too many times do you see a bad snap."
If this team wins three games, what are the consequences for the coaches and players?
"We'll have to deal with that when the time comes. I choose to see the glass half full so I don't expect that to happen."
Brown jerseys at home this year?
"Really? They want the Brown jerseys this year? I had always thought the white jerseys were popular. Listen, I'll do what I can do. Actually we're going to have a meeting on attire tomorrow. That's one of my presidential duties."
Do you get the frustration from the fans?
"Absolutely. I get it. Every chance I do get to talk to them, I recognize that fact. If I'm frustrated and I've only been here a couple of year, I can imagine what the fans are, but my message is the same, that we are going to fix this it's difficult and painful to be this patient and I know they've heard it before, but this is a different group, and we're going to get this thing done."
When you look back at the job you've done here, any regrets and what are you most proud of?
"It's not regrets necessarily, but I'm disappointed we haven't won more games. That's what we're in this business to do. So that's the number one thing. But in attempting to get there, we're building the team properly. When I got here, I looked at the draft choices that were still on the roster -- primarily the No. 1 choices -- that are still on the roster from the previous 10 years and there weren't many at all....I applaud our fans. The responses we've got back from them have been encouraging to be quite honest. They're great fans and they deserve a winning football team and that's what we're trying to do."

AMES, Iowa — Crop producers are faced with new grain storage issues as they store increasing amounts of grain for local processing, sometimes storing grain for a full year. A team of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach field and campus specialists, formed as part of the Iowa Grain Quality Initiative, is working to meet the informational needs farmers have related to grain storage.
The extension team recently released three Web-based training modules covering key aspects of grain drying and storage. Greg Brenneman and Shawn Shouse, agricultural engineering specialists with ISU Extension and Outreach, are the online course instructors. The 20-minute modules cover
They can be viewed or downloaded at www.extension.iastate.edu/Grain/Topics/GrainStorage.htm.
"Higher grain yields and increased local demand have been good for farmers, but also have created a situation where we need to think more about maintaining grain quality on a much larger scale," said Greg Brenneman, extension agricultural engineering specialist and grain storage team member. "Our team is creating Web training modules so farmers can better understand large-scale grain drying and storage, and we're connecting them with decision-making tools so they can best manage their grain."
Future modules are planned to cover inventory management and shrink, toxins and food safety factors, and preseason preparations for grain storage. Educational modules, publications and decision tools are available on the team's website at www.extension.iastate.edu/Grain/Topics/GrainStorage.htm.
The grain storage team recently updated two Ag Decision Maker grain drying and storage economics tools, the Estimated Costs of Crop Production in Iowa – 2014 decision tool, a comparison of drying systems calculator, and the Grain Storage Alternatives: An Economic Comparison spreadsheet. These spreadsheets and the Monthly Cost for Storing Grain publication are available on the grain storage team website as well as the Ag Decision Maker website at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm.

Keith Harrison Schwenn
Beloved Keith Harrison Schwenn, age 66, of Putnam Lake, died peacefully at home on October 3, 2013.
Keith was born on January 29, 1947, in Flushing, NY to Carl and Marie (Harrison) Schwenn. He lived a beautiful life; with deep impact on the life of nearly every person he came in contact with.
Keith's commitment to service and love of country were a defining force in his life that led to a 33 year military career. He served first on active duty during the Vietnam War and later, until his retirement in 2002, as a Lieutenant Colonel in the New York National Guard, Keith loved his time in uniform.
Full time, Keith was a dedicated medical professional; he retired as a Hospital Laboratory Administrator from Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY in 2009. During Keith's career as a laboratory supervisor he worked in multiple New York City and Westchester County Hospitals.
On June 14, 1975, Keith married the love of his life, Karen E. Johnson, with whom he built a large close family.
To say that Keith's family was the center of his universe would be an understatement. From working triple shifts to provide everything possible for his children to ALWAYS prioritizing everyone above himself. As a husband, brother, and Father, Keith was the consummate family man, mentor, friend, advisor sounding board, and confidant. Second only to his family were his friends and coworkers for whom he tried to be an equally fair and focused mentor and friend.
Besides his wife of 37 years, Keith is survived by his five children and two grandchildren (three daughters, two sons and two granddaughters): Khirsten T. Schwenn, of Southern Pines, NC, Karl R. (Kaleb) Schwenn, his wife Melly and their two children Melia and Megan of Dayton, OH, Karissa L. Schwenn, of Putnam Lake, Kyle W. Schwenn of Poughkeepsie, and Katherine E. Schwenn and her fiancé Tyler R. Fida of Lewistown, PA. Keith is also survived by two brothers and a sister; Kenneth Schwenn and his wife Liz and their children Linda and Judy, Kevin Schwenn, his wife Trudy and their daughter Beth Marie, and Kathy (Schwenn) Lawrence, her husband Michael and their children Michelle, Michael and Mark.
Due to his loving nature Keith was a father figure to many, Cassandra M. Ruiz of Danbury, CT and her daughter Alexis called him Dad/ Grandpa, and held a special place in Keith's heart.
Keith was preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Marie Schwenn. A wake was held on Monday, October 7, followed by a memorial service at the Dwyer Funeral Home, 23 South Street, Patterson, NY 12563.
In lieu of flowers contributions in Keith's memory may be made to the American Lung Association.

Report: Kate Middleton & Prince William are Expecting!
It's not the first time someone claimed that Kate Middleton is pregnant, but this time a close friend is assuring the world that it's true!
According to reports, a school pal of the Duchess of Cambridge revealed that the royal couple will officially announce the baby news early next month.
Jessica Hay told Life & Style, "I have this on the highest authority, and it's not to be taken lightly. It's going to be wonderful, happy news when it's announced."
She revealed the royal family is thrilled about the news, adding, "They have been talking about William and Catherine having children for quite some time."
"William will definitely be a hands-on dad and not rely heavily on nannies to raise his and Catherine's children. They both try to be as normal as possible in their private lives, and that of course is going to continue when they have children."

British General Sir Richard Dannatt sent an open letter to his troops in which he defended the miltary strategy employed in handling the Basra area. There is considerable unrest among British soldiers who now are confined to the Basra airport even as fighting rages inside Basra. "I can not deny that there are many who said that they would rather be at the forefront of the operations(as CGS I think I would be worried if I headed an Army that did not express such views), but those same individuals were all mature enough to understand it is right that the Iraqis are now taking the lead. Indeed, these are exactly the nature of operations that we have been pressing for some months-an Iraq solution to an Iraq problem."
General Dannatt expressed his view that, while Iraq led operations made numerous mistakes, the overall conclusion is the Iraqi army did accomplish its goals of establishing its presence in Basra. "The Iraqi plan is working and is delivering what we sought." He indicated the future role of British forces would be to "mentor the Iraqi Security Forces" and to avoid assuming a major role in military operations.
Ironically, many American political leaders are urging a similar policy on the part of American forces, but President Bush insists the Iraqis are not quite ready. Perhaps, if the British model of forcing them to get ready was utilized, the United States Army could begin to envision itself as a mentoring rather than a fighting force.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 103
Yeah, that has been our policy, although we are considering changing it. It started out because a few years ago we still had a lot of readers who didn't use the Internet/email. My reason for continuing the policy: a. If you're sending the zine through the mail, you should be willing to provide a mailing address for your zine, b. Yes, addresses change, but you're more likely to get mail forwarded than to get email forwarded. When someone changes an email address (or stops using a website), that means of communication is just gone. and c. We find a lot of email addresses that bounce and URLs that are no longer good within 6 months to 1 year of a zine being published.
Like I said, we're thinking about changing that policy tho. If anyone has an opinion on the matter, I'd love to hear it. Matthew Murray said:Do you seriously not review zines that don't have mailing addresses? That seems incredibly...out dated. None of my zines have mailing addresses because I move so much. I have no idea what country I'm even going to be living in in six months time.
With websites and email addresses and stuff there doesn't seem to be any reason to make that a requirment as long as one of those is active.
I guess I'm just coming at zines from another (more tech nerdy) place, but my email address has been the same for something like 6 years, whereas in that time I have lived in four different countries, and in some cases have absolutely no way to have things forwarded from an address.
If you could add my blog hello-amber.blogspot.com to your list of places that review zines, that would be awesome. Thanks.

Does anyone have any experience of teaching in Mexico?
I am particularly interested in Mazatlan and what level of pay can be earned. I believe the Mexican immigration office requires a foreigner working on an FM3 visa to earn $1200 per month in their first job in Mexico. Any information would be very welcome.
Cheers folks.Paul.

Use AOTA's Occupational Profile template to improve your documentation.
Learn how to use the new OT CPT® Evaluation codes correctly.
Occupational therapy consistently ranks high as one of the top jobs.
Read recent news articles about occupational therapy.
Find out how occupational therapy helps people with polytraumatic injuries.
Academic Fieldwork Coordinator/Instructor
Occupational Therapy Assistant ProgramDescribe your journey of leadership. Where and when did you begin?
I would say my leadership began when I took a position on the advisory board at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. While serving on this board I became aware of academia as a practice area. I applied for a job as an instructor when a position became available. I would say this was the beginning of my journey as a leader.
I would also consider smaller steps—such as presenting at district and state conferences—because if I had not been involved in organizations in the area the advisory board would probably not have asked me to be a member.
In the academic environment there are many opportunities for leadership. This is not something I ever saw myself doing, but gradually I began to take on more leadership roles and participating in more organizations.
What made you want to be involved in OTA leadership?
The times I chose to get involved I thought either it would benefit me by attaining experience and knowledge, or it would be something fun to do. I am rather an "occupational therapy nerd" if truth be told.
The one time I thought I would try to get more involved in the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) and American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), I went to a presentation at the AOTA Annual Conference and introduced myself to AOTA staff member Sue Graves.
Well, be careful with that, because that introduction got me about 9 years of leadership opportunities. I served on the Roster of Accreditation Evaluators, the Standards Review Committee, and also a couple of years on ACOTE. These opportunities were some of the most challenging and worthwhile adventures in which I have participated. The people I have met and the lifelong friends from these committees have been a tremendous benefit.
I am most proud of one of the leadership roles I assumed to make a change in policy. The Ohio Occupational Therapy/Physical Therapy, and Athletic Trainers Board did not have an occupational therapy assistant (OTA) as an appointed member. I thought this was unreasonable, and that the board was not representing the many OTAs in Ohio. So I volunteered to serve as an advisor to the board.
I attended all of the meetings and weighed in on all issues pertinent to OTAs and other issues that I felt prepared to address. After several years, the board finally voted to appoint an OTA to be on the board permanently.
Did you have a mentor? If so, how did this relationship come about? Is it ongoing? Did you have other mentors along the way?
I didn't really have a specific mentor, but rather people who would support me along the way. There were many occupational therapists (OTs) and OTAs who encouraged me and worked on projects with me. It often just took a supervisor or someone I worked with to say, "you are really good at that, why don't you work on presenting?"
Along the way there were many occupational therapy supervisors who also allowed me to use my knowledge and grow as an occupational therapy practitioner. Most supervisors didn't care about the difference in our education or credentials, but rather how we could work together and share knowledge for the best of our clients and facility.
Geri Vehr was a very early mentor. She went on to medical school and is now a physician. There have been many more people along the way. At ACOTE, Sue Graves and Carol Doehler have been very helpful in helping me attain professional leadership skills. Anne Zobay is another mentor who influenced me over the years. She always found leadership roles that she thought would be good for me and for the organizations.
Our OTA program director, Claudia Miller, is also a current mentor as she is very supportive and encouraging to me in my professional endeavors. Carol Scheerer, who is the program director at Xavier University, is also someone who I would consider a mentor. She co-authored a book with me and without her I wouldn't have finished the book.
She also encourages me and finds leadership roles for me. To be honest, I have had to learn to say no to many of the offers these fine and encouraging people have made.
How did your mentors help you become a leader or a better leader?
Like I said, there were not any formal mentors, but there were and are people who would encourage me by pointing out things that I did well and then encouraged and perhaps pointed out opportunities that might be a good fit for my talents and interests.
What pitfalls or obstacles have you had in your journey to become a leader?
A pitfall may be that I took on more responsibilities than I could handle. Sometimes I have been in a position when life challenges got in the way and I had to stop being so involved for a time period.
What surprises did you encounter?
Surprises I have encountered include meeting absolutely wonderful people and getting to know people who do an extreme amount of work for the occupational therapy community.
Another surprise has been how one opportunity will lead to another, which perhaps becomes an adventure. For instance, because of my involvement with ACOTE, Carol Doehler asked me to go on a therapy mission trip. This was certainly a surprise and a life-changing adventure, both personally and professionally.
Why is OTA leadership important? How does OTA leadership benefit the profession?
I can't even begin to tell you how important it is. In the different roles I have assumed as an OTA, we have a distinct voice and a perspective that others often don't see. I have been an OTA for 34 years now, and I love the profession more today than I ever have. The position of an OTA is extremely important and we all need to become involved with our local, state, and national OT organizations to make sure the profession is respected and perpetuated.
What advice would you give someone who is considering a leadership journey? What are some first steps that OTAs who are just starting out can take?
Advice I would give is to start small and just keep moving forward; introduce yourself to people, join organizations, and speak up so your voice is heard. Simply ask someone who might be doing something you are interested in doing, how they became involved. Ask people who are in positions of leadership to consider you for a possible opening in the future. Answer the calls for help that come across from AOTA and various organizations. Once that first door opens, it just leads to more and more opportunities! Enjoy the ride and enjoy the passengers on the ride with you!
How do you plan to continue your leadership?
I plan to continue to take on leadership roles as my talents, desires, and time allow. I also will continue to try to encourage and point others in the right direction to take on leadership roles of their own.

The joy of installing hardware in Linux
Contrary to what many believe, Linux hardware support is superb, which is not the same as saying it supports every single hardware part or device under the sun. This is a key concept that has been misinterpreted (and misused at times).
The great thing about Linux hardware support is that once drivers are natively supported by the kernel, that's when we can actually experiment what truly "plug and play" is all about. Let me share some examples.
A couple days ago I bought a Trust wireless mouse in an attempt to reduce the massive amount of cables I carry in my bag. I picked it up, opened up the box and there it was, the usual CD with drivers for Windows7, Vista and XP.
Me, I just connected the batteries, turned the mouse on and started clicking away. I tested it under PCLinuxOS 2010, Linux Mint 9 and Ubuntu 9.10, all with the same perfect result.
This nice laser printer is Linux friendly. Simply connecting it to any of the USB ports in a few of my laptops (once again Linux Mint 9, PCLinuxOS 2010 and Ubuntu 9.10) got the installation going, which completed in just a few seconds. In all three cases I was asked if I wanted to download the HP proprietary drivers that would provide some enhanced controls over certain specific functionality. Cool beans.
Same story this time, opened the box, plugged the webcam in and... Voila! No CD installation, no downloads, no boring-resource-eating proprietary software from Logitech or whoever, just my webcam working straight away.
Alright, yes, as you can see, there is a large array of peripherals that will work superbly out of the box on your Linux machine, these are just a few examples. How about the hardware that's inside your computer, though? That's usually a bit difficult to tell, specially if your computer is tailor made and not a popular model from a well-known brand.
I have used many different HP Models along the years, including:
HP Elitebook 6930p (Notebook)
HP Compaq 6910p (Notebook)
HP 2710p (Tablet)
HP 2730p (Tablet)
HP 2740p (Tablet, fully supported now on Ubuntu 10.10)
HP Compaq NX7400 (Notebook)
HP Compaq DC7800 (Minitower)
I mostly use HP hardware, but rest assured that many other major brands will work just as good.
I have used all the models listed above with an array of Linux distros, always getting extremely good results from the get go. In fact, other than very minor problems, I have never experienced a truly serious hardware support problem in Linux.
If you come from a Windows background, you know that almost every manufacturer out there will release products along with drivers for the Microsoft OS. That kind of support is what is missing in Linux. Having said so, like I said before, installing devices in Windows can be a pain. You are usually forced to either install the manufacturer software with the included CD or download that same software from the web, which usually takes time and may end up installing loads of stuff you hardly want. I personally will take the Linux approach any day of the week.
Windows hardware support in general has been somewhat limited historically. A simple test is truly clarifying: Try to reinstall Windows on an OEM machine with a standard Windows CD, not the one that was provided by the manufacturer. You'll see that most devices are very limited in functionality, while others simply do not work... even if the machine was designed for the Microsoft OS! Windows 7 has certainly improved in this area, drastically reducing the amount of devices that actually require an installation, but it suffers from backwards compatibility issues.
How about Mac OS? Well, as often happens with Apple products, everything goes well as long as you do as Mr. Jobs tells you to. In that regard, Apple engineers know exactly which hardware a certain version of Mac OS will run under, which allows them to optimize the software. Having said so, if you ever feel too happy and need something truly depressive, try installing Mac OS on any PC.
Jokes aside, taking everything into account, Linux does very well in terms of hardware support. It only takes a bit experience and research to stick to natively supported hardware, and under those circumstances, Linux is tough to beat.
While I understand that in practical terms Linux hardware support may feel like a huge fiasco to some, it really isn't. In fact, it does very well. Having said so, It does not support everything, so if you are expecting a smooth installation on every single PC combination you try, think again.
With Google on your side, it only takes a couple minutes to find out if a specific device works under Linux. Be sure to research a bit before you go out and buy and you'll be happy as a clam.
NOTE: Along the lines of this article, I found a useful GUIDE that provides good advice on how to buy a new laptop that is fully ready for Linux. This guide is very thorough, you may not need to research with that level of detail, but it sure will prove useful in case you are thinking of buying a new laptop.

Hi Chema, about the trust wireless mouse. Do all of the extra buttons work or only buttons 1-3 as is pretty typical of mice in Linux. If they don't it should be classified as partially working and not working just fine as it doesn't work 100% out of the box. ;)ReplyDelete
Fine insights into a misunderstood subject. Another strength of Linux is that you can install software and update them from a central main repository and other supporting repositories according to your needs and depending on the distro release you are using. This means not only greater speed but more importantly greater user control over the system compared with Windows. Yet another one: in case no driver is immediately available, you can use the Windows driver for the application via ndiswrapper. I don't suppose the opposite - Windows using Linux drivers - is possible.ReplyDelete
My graphics card died 2 weeks ago. I bought an Nvidia 9800GT, put it in my computer and booted up Linux. It just booted up without any problem. Did not even ask anything or mention that new hardware was installed. Completely transparent.ReplyDelete
Then I rebooted into Windows to see how well the new card would run Starcraft II. Card not recognized. Had to manually find, download and install drivers, and reboot twice before it worked. Nice going, Microsoft.

@FEWT, I have a Logitech G5 mouse which has more buttons than I have fingers. It also got a fancy sideways rocking scrollwheel, and it can change the movement sensitivity on the fly. It works fine without having to install anything in Ubuntu. This is typical of mouse support in Linux.ReplyDelete
@Anonymous - That is actually atypical, and not a trust wireless mouse making your comment completely irrelevant.ReplyDelete
Yeah, when I bought my Logitech camera I tried to get the audio input running for it. I googled like 1 hour about pulsar, alsa, oss before I just clicked on the sound manager in ubuntu and enabled it. I was like "O! That was too user friendly".ReplyDelete
@FEWT: Yes, my friend, all buttons work perfectly well. The wheel, the DPI adjustment, the back and forward buttons on the side... everything! This is the same with a similar cable model I got.ReplyDelete
@Andrius: I know the feeling. Linux is growing so quickly, and sometimes the default is to think of the difficult solution first due to its "complicated" inheritance. Then, you find that you could have done the same thing straight away with a couple clicks and bang your head against the wall... ;-)
@Chema - That is fantastic, and not what I expected at all.ReplyDelete
@FEWT: You are not keeping the faith anymore... ;-)ReplyDelete
Nice mouse, i have Gigabyte GM-M6880 it's almost the same look, that's the generic design from many companies now.ReplyDelete
@Chema - I just choose to follow a different path towards the same goal. ;)ReplyDelete
..Posted from Fedora 13.
@FEWT: Hey, have you tried Fedora 14 Beta? Thoughts?ReplyDelete
Hi,there is no doubting the positive of linux i think a lot the time linux is tied by the software manufactures not writing open source for a lot of the graphics cards.then you talented people out there would realy be able to do something with the cards.like i said before the software might be there but to make it known simply for people would be great for linux in just the last year the way linux has moved forward is very positive indeed.ReplyDelete
@Chema - No, I haven't yet. I'll probably give it a go shortly after release. My only complaint with 13 so far is the choice of kernel that's shipped, but really that's easy to solve. I may write a how-to for building a custom kernel and post at ~/Forum.ReplyDelete
Hi Chem,i installed ubuntu 10.10 maverick meerkat under the bonnet i suspect is where all the hard work has gone runs very smooth i had absolutely no problems with it.i am hoping at some point that you will give us your usual informative assessment of it. i installed it on 10.10.10 day.ReplyDelete
Not so easy, I have not been able to install a Netgear wireless usb adapter on any linux. And no help from anybody in the linux community.ReplyDelete

College Health kit
Sending a child off to college is usually filled with excitement and a little anxiety.
You probably spent the summer preparing your child for life in the dorm, but did you prep your child on how to deal with a health situation when away from home?
Before your child heads to college, make sure they visit their pediatrician and are up to date on all their immunizations.
If your child has any ongoing medical issues like diabetes, asthma or ADHD, you might ask your pediatrician for a referral in the city where your child will be going to school.
A heath center tour is a good idea and have them carry their health insurance card at all times.
You need to determine if your current pediatrician will be involved in your child's care or will you transfer care to a doctor on the college campus.
And before they head to college, pack a college health kit.
Here are a few items I would recommend:
Steroid Cream
Throat Lozenges
Allergy medicine for bites & rashes
Constipation medicine
Diarrhea medicine
College dorms are places where germs spread like wildfire so make sure your child continues to wash their hands. And don't forget their flu shot either!

After Arsenal's 2-1 win at Liverpool on Saturday, we asked fans to share their thoughts on the game via Twitter.
Many of you got in touch and below is a selection of those comments.
If you don't already follow us on Twitter and want to have your say, you can find us here: @Arsenal
@MfyamMmoja Szczesny's man of the match! RVP's finish was just sheer class as usual. Song's the unsung hero, glad RVP kissed his boot
@Kipshizzle Our defence did well to absorb Liverpool's attacking threats, more so in the second half. Koscielny's own goal was unlucky
@EAlivantor If only Diaby could be delivered from the injury demon. He brought a different tone to our midfield for those few minutes
@Turkishorty_S Brilliant three points must keep this consistency of winning games going. PS How much better can @Persie_Official get? Amazing!!
@tshibengs This is why I love Arsenal... the keeper picking up Koscielny after the own goal tells you lot about the character of the team
@anisinho Don't forget Szczesny! World class!!
@dmsreynolds Arsenal played like champions. Didn't play great but got the result and three points! Boooooom
@Bright906 Shows you don't need corners to win a big game. Lol
@tinasherondi Heroic Gunners. Szczesny laid the foundations, RVP obliged, Song - what can we say? Most successful through balls in the league
@Bashidali I would like to state that Koscielny is still the star of the Gunners' defenceCopyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

CatholicMatch has just published its first book, titled The Catholic Playbook: Lenten Reflections For Singles. The 118-page 5"x8" softcover book is being distributed through Catholic Word for $12.99 and is now available for order online.
The book began here on "Faith, Hope & Love" last spring, when we published 40 reflections on Lent and single life written by CatholicMatch members. Those moving accounts inspired the creation of this book, which includes a foreword by Bishop Kevin Rhoades of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Ind., and 40 prayers written by Father Gary Caster, a college chaplain who writes for the Magnificat and has presided at two CatholicMatch weddings. The USCCB's Theresa Notare wrote a beautiful epilogue for the book.
With honesty, humor and hope, these singles examine the trials and rewards of single life, all folded into the Lenten season. Their stories will alternately comfort and challenge you.
Bishop Rhoades offered high praise for The Catholic Playbook: Lenten Reflections For Singles, writing:
"The reflections in this book have been written by single Catholics who are striving to love the Lord more deeply. Like the psalms, they are written from the heart and express the full range of human emotions: longing and loneliness, repentance and purification, periods of intense suffering and moments of deep joy. They bear poignant witness to the fact that whatever is in our hearts can be offered to Christ as part of our complete gift of self to Him."
Father Peter Laird, vicar general of the Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis, also endorsed the book, writing:
"Lent is a season which is meant to render us ever more available to the Lord. These reflections by single Catholics is an ample reminder that the Paschal Mystery is about learning to pray, fast and give even when what we most want seems to be taken or delayed. Beyond the single adult discerning a "Match," there is spiritual insight and good humor in these pages to nourish all who want to live more readily in the Lord."
Robyn Lee, a Faith & Family Live blogger, gave the book her stamp of approval:
"Single life can be a lonely place. In a sea of married friends and relatives, I often feel isolated and filled with doubts that God truly has a plan for my future. If you share this struggle, I invite you to journey through the season with Lenten Reflections for Single Catholics. Written by single Catholics from all walks of life, these 40 insightful meditations hit upon the core questions of our souls. Each story is followed by a beautiful prayer that offers practical ways to persevere and echoes God's perfect love for each of us."
And Father Sebastien Bakatu, a formator and spiritual director at St. John Vianney College Seminary in St. Paul, Minn., offered this endorsement:
"This book is a beautiful meditation for Lent that speaks not only to singles but to all of us in that journey of solitude and transformation during which we long to have Jesus, the only one who can change our loneliness into companionship and togetherness."
When Lent begins on Feb. 22, thousands of Catholics across the country will journey with CatholicMatch. Join them by ordering your copy today!

New video: Calif. police fatally shoot armed suspect after pursuit
Officials say man who was shot and killed Sunday by police pulled out a pair of scissors during a clash before leading Sheriff's deputies on a pursuit
By Emily Alpert Reyes
Los Angeles Times
LONG BEACH, Calif. — Law enforcement officials say a man who was shot and killed Sunday afternoon by Long Beach police pulled out a pair of scissors during a clash at a Target store in Compton before leading sheriff's deputies on a chase into Long Beach, where he got out of his vehicle with a large wooden stick in hand.
Security officers first tried to detain the man at the Target on South Alameda Street for "a crime allegedly committed at the store," the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said late Sunday.
When deputies arrived to help security officers locked in a struggle with the man, he pulled out a large pair of scissors, according to a department statement. Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Crystal Hernandez said no deputies were injured in the incident.
The man then fled to his vehicle and led deputies on a chase. The Sheriff's Department pursued him into Long Beach, where Long Beach police joined in the pursuit at about 3:15 p.m., said Long Beach Police spokeswoman Sgt. Megan Zabel.
The Sheriff's Department said that the man came to a stop on the 1800 block of East Ocean Boulevard and refused commands to exit his vehicle. About 15 minutes later, he got out of the vehicle with a large wooden stick and again refused to follow commands, the department stated.
The department said it attempted to stop the man by firing a stun bag but it had no effect and the man ran away from deputies.
Long Beach police then encountered the man and shot him. He died after being taken to a nearby hospital. Zabel said she could not comment on what prompted police to fire on the suspect.
"The officers are still being interviewed and all the evidence is being collected," Zabel said.
Long Beach police personnel will investigate the shooting, according to the Sheriff's Department. The alleged crimes of the victim are under investigation by the Compton Sheriff's Station, and Sheriff's homicide detectives will investigate the use of force by deputies.

Phoenix Volleyball Opens Season with 3-0 Sweep of Drake
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay volleyball team (1-0) opened its 2012 campaign Friday night with a 3-0 sweep (25-19, 25-13, 25-20) of Drake (0-1) in its first match of the Green Bay/Country Inn & Suites Tournament at the Kress Center. It was the second of two matches at the Kress on Friday, as Auburn (1-0) defeated Central Michigan (0-1) 3-2 in the early contest.
The Phoenix hit .227 for the match and registered 47 kills, led by junior Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.) who tallied a match-high 13 to go along with 14 digs. Senior Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) added 12 kills thanks to an impressive .455 hitting percentage, while junior Monica Anderson (Cottage Grove, Wis.) chipped in nine.
Preseason All-Horizon League selection Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) led the Phoenix with 24 digs on the night - just two shy of her school record for digs in a three-set match (26). In addition, last year's Horizon League assists leader Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.) picked up where she left off a season ago, finishing with 36 helpers in the victory.
"It's always great to start the season off with a win," Phoenix head coach Debbie Kirch said. "Winning in three sets is always difficult in volleyball, so it was nice to be able to finish it off strong. I thought we moved the ball around well offensively and our defense was relentless. We just need to be a little more disciplined and improve on some things, but overall it was a good starting point for us."
The Phoenix got off to a bit of a slow start, trailing Drake 12-9 midway through the opening set. The home team responded by scoring five of the next six points to seize the lead and pulled away down the stretch for a 25-19 win.
Green Bay dominated set number two, using early kills from Leitermann and Zabkowicz to jump out to a 12-5 lead. Zabkowicz totaled five kills in the set, including three in the final seven points to ice the 25-13 victory.
Set three saw the Phoenix trailing early once again, forcing Kirch to call a timeout down 5-2. Green Bay came out of the break firing, going on a 10-1 run that included seven kills to regain the lead and the momentum. The Bulldogs cut it to 19-17 late, but the Phoenix held off the visitors to earn the 25-20 set win and the sweep.
The match was the first of three for the Phoenix in its season-opening home tournament. Green Bay is back in action Saturday at the Kress Center, hosting NCAA Tournament qualifier Central Michigan at 12:30 p.m. and SEC foe Auburn 7 p.m.

RTA substitutes buses for east side rapid trains this weekend
(Cleveland) The Regional Transit Authority has shut down rapid service east of Tower City Saturday and Sunday, so that Innerbelt construction crews can perform work over the RTA tracks.
Instead of trains, RTA is sending buses to pick up commuters along the East Side rail lines.
Downtown, all buses will pick up and drop off in front of the Horseshoe casino.
RTA says the Red Line to the airport will operate as usual. The Waterfront line will run at a reduced level.
RTA says waits could be longer than usual.

There are a good bit of fields in georgia. Unfortanetly for you, most are scenario/ woodsball. There is a field called wildfire near your area. Its all indoors and it has like 4 airball fields. The rest is spools and other junkyard fields. That would be the best bet for where you will be in columbus.

Maryland built up an 11-2 halftime lead and played 23 players in the first 20 minutes of the debut for both the Terps and the Mount before closing out the performance 16-3 in front of 1203 fans at Byrd Stadium in College Park.
The Terrapins got a big day from a couple members of their highly touted freshman class, including four goals and two assists from attackman and IL's No. 2 recruit Matt Rambo. Connor Cannizzaro added two goals and an assists, while familiar faces Mike Chanenchuk and Jay Carlson combined for seven points. Face-off specialist Charlie Raffa won 8-12 draws.
Sophomore Matt Dunn started one game in 2013 and that looks like it'll be part of Maryland's future as he controlled things down low alongside Goran Murray and Casey Ikeda, while All-American Michael Ehrhardt, who Charlotte took No. 7 overall in last month's MLL Draft, ran at longstick midfield.
Ehrhardt finished with three groundballs, three caused turnovers and a shot on goal while looking comfortable with the ball in his stick in space and making smart decisions in transition. Dunn looked good on the ball in the few tests he had. In general, it was difficult to evaluate Maryland's defense because they allowed so few possessions thanks to nice face-off play early.
"Dunn is really steady and consistent, so I know what I'm going to get out of him," coach John Tillman said, confirming he was pleased with Ehrhardt and Dunn postgame. "Ehrhardt just takes a very professional approach is the best way to describe it. He's always focused and always trying to do a little bit extra, whether it's in the film room or the weight room."
The Terrapins' No. 1 recruiting class was on display for the first time in a significant way, and both Rambo and Cannizzaro said postgame that it was simply an awesome, gratifying feeling to not just square off against another opponent, but also to take the field at Byrd.
Rambo was a dangerous playmaker, scoring in a variety of ways. His first two goals were unassisted, the second a lefty move from X, but he said his favorite goal of the day was his third — a fastbreak finish down the lefty wing after he took a pass from Cooper, who he called his locker buddy.
Cannizzaro ran on the first middie line with Chanenchuk and junior Joe LaCascio (who finished with a goal) and showed excellent poise and decision-making in addition to his production.
Among the other first-year players, d-middie John Belz, longstick middie Mac Pons, middie Isaiah Davis-Allen and attackman Lucas Gradinger all played a lot of minutes, and each of them had at least once nice, standout play.
Tim Rotanz and Colin Heacock didn't dress. Tillman said postgame that they'd find out more regarding their status over the weekend and on Monday, indicated that he was hopeful both could play next Saturday vs. UMBC and
While Maryland has plenty of experience at the defensive end, they're breaking in a lot of new guys on O, so Chanenchuk's leadership is at times as valuable as his production. The senior said postgame, "That's a thing I took upon myself, especially all fall, to help these guys along because it's a big jump from high school to college, especially with the speed and decision-making. To be able to take them aside and say 'This is what you've got to do' or 'Pump the brakes a little bit,' especially on offense — it's fun because these guys really want to learn, which makes it easy for me."
Chanenchuk played a little bit of attack and Tillman said postgame that was in an effort to keep some experience on the field.
Coach Tom Gravante's team had 22 seniors or grad students on the squad in 2013 and were lined up to take advantage of the NEC's first AQ to the NCAA Tournament. After a 23-6 loss to Maryland to open the year, the strategy appeared smart after wins over Bucknell and Delaware left the Mount at 2-1. However, a string of league losses kept them out of the conference tournament and unable to make a run at The Dance despite finish 6-9 and beating eventual NEC champ Bryant in April.
The result of that strategy is a very young Mount team in 2014; they didn't have a senior in the opening lineup and only two starters had started a game last season. Among the players that showed a spark were sophomore middie Robert Jones, who finished with a goal and a pretty step-back assist, and sophomore attackman Bubba Jones, who added a goal.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Freshman Matt Rambo made his Terrapin debut a memorable one with four goals and two assists to lead the No. 6 University of Maryland men's lacrosse team to a 16-3 victory over Mount St. Mary's Saturday afternoon in front of 1,203 at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium.
Senior midfielder Mike Chanenchuk had three goals and an assist, while junior attackman Jay Carlson also chipped in with a hat trick for the Terps (1-0), who opened the season with a victory for the 21st-straight season.
Rambo's six-point effort is the most points for a Terrapin making his Maryland debut since 2004 when sophomore Xander Ritz had seven points on three goals and four assists in his first game after transferring from Delaware. Rambo's four goals were the most for a Maryland freshman in his collegiate debut since 2008 when Grant Catalino score four times in an 11-6 win at Georgetown.
Maryland jumped on the Mount (0-1) right from the start as Chanenchuk opened the scoring just 1:05 into the game with his first goal of the game. That kick-started a 5-0 run for the Terps.
The 2014 season got off to a good start for the Terrapin extra-man unit when senior Rustin Bryant found freshman Connor Cannizzaro open inside on the crease for an easy one-timer just 13 seconds into the first extra-man opportunity of the season to give Maryland a 2-0 lead.
Carlson scored his first of the season to up the lead to 3-0 at the 10:49 mark off of a nice inside feed from junior Kevin Forster, who made is return to the field after missing all of 2013 due to injury.
Rambo picked up his first collegiate goal just 19 seconds later with an unassisted effort.
The 5-0 run was capped off by sophomore Henry West, who picked up his first goal as a Terp with 5:35 left in the first quarter on a bounce shot from the right alley.
The Mount rallied near the end of the first quarter with goals from Ryan Lamon and Bubba Johnson to close the gap to 5-2 heading into the second quarter.
But the Terps scored six unanswered goals in the second to blow the game wide open.
Rambo and Chanenchuk scored back-to-back unassisted goals to give Maryland a 7-2 lead with just over 12:00 to play in the first half.
The extra-man unit cashed in again with 10:52 on the clock when junior midfielder Joe LoCascio ripped a laser into the top corner from the left alley to make it an 8-2 game.
Carlson netted his second of the game to put the Terps up by seven with 9:54 to play. Junior midfielder Bryan Cole made a nice move to dip under his defender and finish in close to up the Terps' lead to 10-2 48 seconds later.
The first-half scoring was capped off with a transition goal that began with a terrific ride by senior midfielder Brian Cooper, who caused a Mountaineer turnover and picked up the groundball to begin the play. Cooper then pushed the ball into the box and found Rambo open for the easy shot and score with 6:13 to play.
The second half saw the Terps extend their scoring run to eight straight goals, beginning with Chanenchuk's third of the game at the 14:904 mark. This one came on a big-time shot from the left top slot off of a feed from Cannizzaro.
Rambo closed out the run with his fourth of the game with 9:27 left in the third to make it a 13-2 Maryland lead.
Robert Jones scored an extra-man goal for Mount St. Mary's with 3:39 remaining in the third to close the game to 10 goals, but Maryland responded with a goal by Cannizzaro off an assist from Rambo to up its lead to 14-3 at the 2:39 mark.
With time running down in the third, senior Michael Ehrhardt, who finished with three groundballs and three caused turnovers, caused a Mountaineer turnover and picked up the groundball to give the Terps the ball back. Carlson made the effort pay off with a spectacular underhand, back-handed sweeping shot off of a quick feed from Rambo with just two seconds left on the clock to make it a 15-3 Maryland advantage.
That's the way it would stay until just two seconds remained in the fourth quarter when freshman midfielder Ben Chisolm scored his first collegiate goal on a rip from the right wing off of a feed from junior midfielder Zack Wholley.
Maryland's defense was stout all day, allowing just 22 shots. Senior goalie Niko Amato played the first three quarters and made seven stops. Junior Kyle Bernlohr came in for the fourth quarter and recorded four saves for the Terps.
Maryland dominated possession thanks in large part to junior Charlie Raffa winning 8-of-12 faceoffs and picking up a game-high seven groundballs. Sophomore Jon Garino relieved Raffa as the team's primary faceoff man in the second half and he won 4-of-6 draws with three groundballs and one caused turnover.
The Terps will return to action on Saturday, Feb. 15 when it welcomes in-state rival UMBC to Captial One Field for a noon start. That match is scheduled to be streamed live on TerpsTV.

The Finnish police have decided to close down their special task force which focuses on the activities of illegal animal rights groups. The number of attacks on fur farms has declined dramatically over the past few years. It appears the police have utilized illegal wiretapping in order to capture the nefarious activists who had concern for the plight of animals. The police devoted considerable time assisting farmers to protect their animals against attempts to free them from cruel behavior. It appears the activities of animal rights groups these days is more focused on attacking fur and fashion shops.
There is scant evidence the task force was particularly interested in animals who might be subjected to mistreatment. When all is said and done, the only culprits in abusing animals are those attempting to end the abuse. In a capitalist society, private property always comes first regardless of what is happening on the property.

Hi all i am new in OnRPG forums, but the reason i found you is rather a disgrace of Runewalker/Frogster EU.
I am an addicted player of RoM for almost 1.5 yrs.. used to play in EU servers because i live in Turkey. Last wednesday as i tried to log in the game i got an "Unknown Error" msg. I swtched to the EU RoM forums and came across with this message
As you see my whole investments (spent more than 1000 € lately), my characters, my gear (they were all 57/57 lvls) and my good friends in the game were all gone just in a wink of an eye without any notice or warning..Aloha Ladies & Gentlemen.
Frogster is responsible for publishing Runes of Magic in most countries although there are some territories in which other companies own the license.
Therefore we have to inform you that in the case of Turkey another publisher is responsible for Runes of Magic. After consultation with the Turkish publisher we have to honor their license and put an IP-Block for Runes of Magic in place which affects Turkey as of today.
This means that players from Turkey will no longer be able to access our Runes of Magic servers. All players from Turkey that wish to continue enjoying Runes of Magic must register an account through the Turkish publisher.
We ask for your understanding in regard to this measure,
The Runes of Magic Team
So i and my other Turkish friends are moving to US servers one by one hoping that Frogster US wont kick us out the game..
hope i will be here more often though
