It was a magic season for the Syracuse Academy of Science girls basketball team.
The #SASAtoms accomplished a lot - winning the program's first Section III title and advancing to the state final four.
SAS missed out on only one goal, as Section IX champion Millbrook bested the Atoms, 67-64, in overtime in the Class C state championship game at Hudson Valley Community College.
"We came up short, but we accomplished a whole lot," #SASCS coach Reggie Pickard said after his team came out on the short end of the 4-minute extra session, during which the Atoms led three times before surrendering the final four points. "Overtime game, we lost to a great team, a well-coached team."
SAS, who finish 19-5, lost despite a determined effort from senior Lyrik Jackson, who led the Atoms with 24 points and 15 rebounds, and junior Diamonne Harris, who added 23 points.
"She made a big difference," Pickard said.
Millbrook led the whole way, until there was just one minute left in regulation. A basket by Jackson tied the game at 54-54.
The Blazers pushed the lead back to four points with 34 seconds left, but SAS got a pair of free throws from Jackson to pull within two and 6-0 sophomore Erykah Pasha sent the game into overtime by converting two free throws with no time left on the clock after she was fouled on a put back attempt at the buzzer.
The Atoms led three times in the extra session - 60-59, 62-61 and 64-63 - before the Blazers got their final points from reserve junior forward Claire Martell, who hit a basket and two free throws in the final 45 seconds.
Pickard said he told his players to keep their heads high.
"I just told them they had no reason to hang their heads," said Pickard, who started the varsity program at SAS in 2010. "We set a goal at the beginning of the season. We reached our goal, but we just came up short."
Pickard said his all-state senior, Jackson, was all heart.
"She played hurt. She twisted her ankle early on. Her shoulder was still sore from the fall yesterday. She was banged up. But she gave it her all. She gave it her heart," he said.
The coach said he hoped the Atoms would be back, albeit probably in a higher classification. Nearly everyone associated with Section III basketball expects that SAS will be moved up in class by the competition committee.

Participants in the Florida Master Naturalist Program's Coastal Restoration Course volunteered with Tampa Bay Watch to place oyster homes around Fanatasy Island in Hillsborough County. Oysters will eventually settle on the domes, resembling a natural oyster reef. The new reef will serve as a living shoreline to prevent coastal erosion and improve water clarity.

Partners came together in mid-June to plant fifty threatened swamp pink plants at a western North Carolina bog managed by the North Carolina Plant Conservation Program. The fifty plants were raised in captivity by the Atlanta Botanical Garden from seed collected at the site. Raising the seeds in captivity reduces plant mortality, while using seeds originally harvested from this site helps conserve any unique genetic characteristics that may occur in the plants found at this bog. Staff from the Atlanta Botanical Garden, N.C. Plant Conservation Program, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service helped with the planting.
Swamp pink has been on the federal threatened and endangered species list as threatened since 1988. It’s sporadically found in wetlands from New Jersey to Georgia.

Oberlin theater program's production of Terrence McNally's irreverent comedy, Where has Tommy Flowers Gone? ran December 8th through 10th. The show is a quick-paced tour de force in which the main character takes the audience on a wild roller-coaster ride of comic sketches, dramatic scenes, anti-authoritarian diatribes, and fantasy sequences that collectively portray his life, personality, and politics.

25 Mar. 2013 - Comissão de Direitos Humanos discute a remuneração dos militares
Os convidados da audiência pública reclamaram da perda de benefícios adquiridos durante a carreira e pediram a equiparação dos atuais rendimentos com outras categorias do funcionalismo público.

Militares pedem nivelamento de salário com outras carreiras
Em audiência pública na Comissão de Direitos Humanos e Legislação Participativa (CDH) do Senado, representantes dos militares ativos e aposentados debateram a defasagem na remuneração do setor. Ao final da audiência, o senador Paulo Paim (PT-RS), que a presidiu, prometeu encaminhar um documento com o pleito da categoria às autoridades competentes.
Segundo relatos dos participantes da audiência, desde a edição da Medida Provisória 2215/2001, a situação dos militares começou a se deteriorar progressivamente. A MP acabou com gratificações como adicional de inatividade e o chamado “posto acima” - promoção que o militar recebia ao passar para a reserva. Outros auxílios também foram retirados pela medida, como o auxílio moradia e a licença-prêmio.
O presidente da Associação dos Militares da Reserva, Reformados e Pensionistas das Forças Armadas, Genivaldo da Silva, citou essas perdas como um dos principais motivos da defasagem de remuneração.
- Por isso que nós estamos hoje com um salário superdefasado. E além dessas questões aqui citadas, nós ficamos dez anos sem um real de aumento – disse.
Genivaldo informou que um segundo-sargento das Forças Armadas ganha R$ 2,7 mil com 30 anos de serviço. Um capitão das Forças Armadas recebe R$ 5,3 mil – salário considerado baixo se comparado a outras categorias.
- Ganha menos do que um soldado da Polícia Militar do DF e dos Bombeiros, que são excelentes profissionais. Nós tiramos o chapéu para eles, mas não podemos ganhar menos do que eles.
Salário-família
Outra reclamação recorrente durante a audiência foi o salário-família que os militares recebem para ajudar no custeio da educação de seus dependentes, no valor de apenas R$ 0,16 por filho. A presidente da Federação da Família Militar, Rita Deinstmann, comparou o benefício ao que recebe a família de um presidiário.
- Por que o dependente de um presidiário recebe R$ 915 e nós recebemos R$ 0,16? É uma vergonha! – reclamou.
O senador Rodrigo Rollemberg (PSB-DF) esteve na audiência e deu apoio aos militares. Para ele, a valorização da categoria deve ser uma questão de interesse nacional, devido à importância do trabalho no país. Segundo o senador, a defesa de riquezas como a Amazônia e o pré-sal é um imenso desafio para o Brasil, que conta com as Forças Armadas.
- Hoje vivemos num ambiente de paz, e todos nós torcemos para permanecer assim. Mas a gente sabe que não pode se descuidar para uma eventualidade de o Brasil ter que defender o seu território ou suas riquezas. Portanto, a questão dos militares não é uma questão apenas dos militares – afirmou Rollemberg.
Paim sugeriu a realização de uma reunião com a categoria em seu gabinete para formular um documento com o pleito dos militares e prometeu todo o apoio para sensibilizar as autoridades competentes.
- Farei de tudo para ajudar para que os pleitos cheguem lá e que, oxalá, eles sejam efetivamente atendidos – prometeu.

CDH debate situação de militares reformados e pensionistas (Da Redação)
Começou a audiência pública da Comissão de Direitos Humanos e Legislação Participativa (CDH) para debater a situação de militares reformados e pensionistas. O senador Paulo Paim (PT-RS), autor do requerimento para realização do debate, afirmou que o tema é urgente, pois os militares são os servidores mais mal remunerados do país.
- Os militares sempre tiveram uma remuneração modesta, mas depois de 2001 a situação começou a piorar gradativamente – lamentou Paim em seu discurso em Plenário na última sexta (22).
Paim lembrou, logo no início da reunião, que a realização dessa audiência é um compromisso assumido quando ainda era presidente da CDH. Em fevereiro deste ano, ele foi substituído na função pela senadora Ana Rita (PT-ES), que também terá dois anos de mandato.
Foram convidados para o debate o representante da Associação de Praças das Forças Armadas (APRAFA), Antonio Vicente da Silva; e os presidentes da Federação da Família Militar do DF (FAMIL), Cantidio Rosa Dantas; da Comissão Nacional QESA Brasil (CNQB), Eduardo Souza Silva; da Associação dos Militares da Reserva, Reformados e Pensionistas das Forças Armadas (AMARP), Genivaldo da Silva; da União Nacional de Esposas de Militares das Forças Armadas (UNEMFA), Ivone Luzardo; da Federação da Família Militar - Mulher/DF (FAMIL Mulher), Rita Deinstmann; e da Confederação Nacional da Família Militar (CONFAMIL), Waldemar da Mouta.
A audiência está sendo realizada na sala 2 da Ala Senador Nilo Coelho e é presidida por Paulo Paim.
