About 60 people showed up Monday at Hinsdale Middle School for an open house that offered a look around the building the night before classes were to resume.
HMS students missed school Jan. 17, 21 and 22 because of mold issues in the building. As cleanup work was being completed, students began a split day schedule Jan. 23 at Clarendon Hills Middle School.
The split day schedule, which wrapped up Monday, had CHMS students attend in the morning and HMS students in the afternoon.
Hinsdale-Clarendon Hills Elementary District 181 Superintendent Renee Schuster said Monday that HMS had been cleared for students and staff to return following a fire inspection along with inspections by the Regional Office of Education and architects from Healy, Bender & Associates.
Additionally, reports from Integrity Environmental Services on sampling of both air and surfaces conducted Jan. 31, Feb. 1, and Feb. 3 indicated the school is safe for occupancy, Schuster said.
Most of those attending Monday's open house were parents, though several students came along.
"I really wanted to see how it looks, and I'm glad to be back," said Gillian Norton, an sixth-grader. "I felt sad not being here. It's basically my home."
Sixth-grader Julia Hanley, who came to the open house with her mother, Kathy Hanley, also was happy about returning to her school.
"I liked sleeping in, but I didn't like not getting out until 4:30," she said. "I think (HMS) looks better now."
Additional work at HMS is scheduled for the near future, as more baseboards need to be replaced, and additional painting must be completed. That work will be done in the evenings and on weekends.
"I'm glad it's getting back to normal," Kathy Hanley said. "I think it's important that people feel comfortable coming back in here. I'm not concerned about my daughter coming back now. I'm more concerned about long-term monitoring to make sure there's no more mold in the future."
Schuster said the district's Facilities Committee would be considering a long-term plan for HMS, including a recommended new roof.
Mazin Abughazalah attended the open house with twin daughters, Carma and Reem, both sixth-graders.
"I wanted to make sure they're comfortable coming back," Abughazalah said. "I think it's a good lesson for the kids in transparency, too."
Both Carma and Reem said they were happy about returning.
"I've missed advisory the most because I haven't seen a lot of my friends while we've been at CHMS," Reem said.
HMS Principal Ruben Pena also said he was happy about returning to his own building, although the split days at CHMS worked out well.
"Our kids came in and went right to work there," he said. "Overall, I think things went as well as could be expected."

Stars come out on Monday nights
WWE's 'Raw' still running wild at the 20-year mark
|In this July 23, 2012, file photo, Alberto Del Rio flips over the top of Rey Mysterio as they fall out of the ring during the WWE Monday Night Raw wrestling event in St. Louis.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Let's put this just how "Stone Cold" Steve Austin would quiz all his fans on Monday nights.
If you think World Wrestling Entertainment's "Raw" is the original wild and live sports entertainment show where anything can happen and any personality from The Rock to Bob Barker can show up on any given Monday night, then give me a "Hell yeah!"

London's National Theatre Live in HD: The Audience
Thursday, June 13, 2013
2:00 pm
Purchase tickets online
Helen Mirren reprises her Academy Award winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in the highly-anticipated West End production of The Audience, broadcast as part of National Theatre Live. Tickets are $18 ($15 members and students). Click here to order tickets or call 413 458 0524. Approximate running time is 145 minutes.
For sixty years, Elizabeth II has held weekly meetings with each of her twelve Prime Ministers at Buckingham Palace—a meeting like no other in British public life. It is private; both parties have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said, not even to their spouses. The Audience breaks this contract of silence, imagining a series of pivotal meetings between the Downing Street incumbents and their queen. From Churchill to Cameron, each Prime Minister uses these private conversations as a sounding board and a confessional—sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive. From young mother to grandmother, these private audiences chart the arc of the second Elizabethan Age. Politicians come and go through the revolving door of electoral politics, while she remains constant, waiting to welcome her next Prime Minister.

Unfortunately we saw, just few hours ago, on the 17th the bus lines to Svolvaer are not working on those days.
We'll arrive at Evenes at 10:35 with the flight from Oslo, we kindly ask you how we can reach Svolvaer.
Thank you very much for your answer.
Annalisa and Francesco
Hi, I am going to Tromos in July and would like to visit Kavaloya to try catch a glimpse of the reindeers. Like Kezza, I won't be driving and rely on local transport /buses. What do you suggest is the best way to travel, if I take a bus, wher should I get down. Also, is theer a website for bus routes and timings.. I can't find one. Any sggestion would be helpful. Thanks.
We will be traveling to western Norway from May 17-May 25th.
Our ports are Skjolden,Flam,Olden,Alesund and Stavanger.
I have booked Ferry passage to Gudvangen from Flam to see the Naeroyfjord. we will return by bus and hopefully take the Flam rail to Mydal and back to Flam
I booked a cruise through the Stavanger Archipelago into the Lysefjord.
I am wondering if I should try to go to find our way to Hellesytt so we can cruise Geiranger. is this possible from Olden? we will only be in port from 8-5
We would also like the opportunity to have a guided tour on a glacier and or kayak on a glacial lake. Perhaps from our stop in Skjolden (Nigard/Jostedal glacier) or in Olden (Briksdal Glacier) The cruise ship offers on trips to only view the glacier.
This might limit my opportunity to travel to Geiranger. Perhaps next trip? So much to see and experience.
Any suggestions.
We are spending a couple of weeks in Scandinavia but only have a very short time in Norway at the end. We really want to experience the western fjords which means a day/night trip on NIN from Oslo and back again. My question is this: we have a choice to go as far as Voss or Bergen but we're mainly interested in seeing the fjords and the towns don't matter. I realize Bergen is far more charming than Voss but our time is so limited that if we can see the same natural wonders in Voss would it make sense to skip Bergen?
Or should we go all the way to Bergen?
Where is the best place in Rogaland to buy outdoor clothing?.
I would like to know the bars and pubs with the cheapest prices? Thanks.
I'll be staying near the Munch Museum. Does anyone have recommendations for good affordable places in that area? I don't mind walking! Thank you kindly!
What is the best way to travel from Larvik to Sandifjord Airport? I have no reservations to do that but will be in Larvik to visit where my grandparents were from in early 1900's. I speak no Norwegian but trying to learn some words before travel in mid May 2014, Advice needed please!
Dear Sir/Madam.
I have chosen Kirkenes as the starting point of my journey across Norway, starting from 19 May 2014. Since my intention is to enjoy the Norway scenery, the fjord and the famous midnight sun, so I will be travelling by Buses, Boat and Trains. I have booked Hotel along the way.
The itinerary will be as follows:
-By Bus : Kirkenes-Honnigsvag (Nordkapp)(overnight Honningsvag)-Alta-Tromso
-by Boat : Tromso-Trondheim (Hurtigrutten, overnight on board).
-by Train : Trondheim-Lillehammer (overnight).
-by Bus : Lillehamer-Bergen (overnight).
-by Train : Bergen-Oslo-end.
1. How far is Rica Arctic Hotel Kirkenes and Rica Bryggen Hotel Honningsvag from the Bus station going to/from Kirkenes and Honningsvag..
2. How to book a seat reservation for my journey from Kirkenes-Honningsvag-Alta-Tromso.
3. How much is the ticket fare of each leg.
3. Do you have the time table.
3. Do you have the email address of the relevant Bus Operator or a Tourist Agency in
Kirkenes or Honningsvag, for me to contact them.
4. Do you have the email address of the Bus Operator connecting Kirkenes-Murmansk. I will contact them to book seat reservation of my trip from Murmansk to Kirkenes.
Dear Sir/Madam, please, your help will be highly appreciated
My best regards,
Any suggestions on best way to travel from Oslo Norway to Karlstad Sweden. Bus or Train? Recommended company to use and locations of connections.
Is Olso Gallerian a bus station?
Where is it?
We will need a bus from the Oslo airport to Kristiansian in July. Can we buy a ticket when we arrive at the airport (12:30PM) and what will it cost?
Hey guys, I am a bit stumped as to how best make use of the limited time in Norway. I arrive in Oslo late on the 27th June, I plan to stay the night and leave around midday heading by train to Bergen. Probably just enough to walk around the main streets. I fly out of Bergen on the 1st July
Originally I was going to take a train direct to Bergen and then use this as a base, hiring a car to see some of the fjords a little further away. I have been reading around and is it worth breaking my my journey from Oslo to Bergen and maybe staying a night mid point? Or am I better stocking with my original plan. Also what should I try to see in my limited time?
We are arriving by cruise ship in Skjolden at 4pm on May 19. We would like to take a taxi from the port to the Urnes stave church. The manager of the church said that it was about 30km from the port. My question is how expensive would it be to take a taxi to the church. I ask because I've heard that everything is very expensive in Norway (compared to North America's standard) and I don't want to commit to something that may be out of my price range.
If anyone has been to the church..is it a difficult ride?
Thank you very much for any information!!
I'm trying to find out if there is any bus service from Kirkenes to Bodo? I arrive in Kirkenes by cruise ship the first week of September 2014, and would like to take a bus to Bodo, then grab a train to Bergen. (I've got three days to make the trip from Kirkenes to Bergen - I'm not even sure if this is possible?). I appreciate any help - thanks.
Hi all,
I'm currently researching a weekend in Norway (from London) and am having trouble choosing a city and am actually a bit overwhelmed with the options available. Do you have any recommendations as to the best place to visit? I have never been to Norway and would like to see some fjords and wonder around cobblestone streets, people watch etc. I will be on my own.
I have found the "Norway in a Nutshell" tours which have confused me. They also seem full on which I don't mind but want to be as efficient as possible. Is it necessary to do this or can I base myself in Bergen or similar and skip the travel elements.
Any advice is gratefully received.
Thanks! Natalie
Is it possible to do a trip ourselves without using the cruise tour which are very expensive? Also is there any shopping available in the city? Thank you

It's Christmas. For many, that means presents, family, and lots and lots of food. When you're cooking for a family that includes people with food allergies, food intolerances or sensitivities, diabetes, Celiac disease, other health conditions, or special diets such as gluten-free or paleo, preparing those holiday feasts can be a little overwhelming. Fortunately, we've got some great ideas right here on the Lauren's Hope blog to help keep everyone safe AND well-fed this holiday season.

People often want to wear the colors associated with their conditions. For example, here at Lauren's Hope, we receive messages from people with Multiple Sclerosis asking for more orange bracelets and from people with Addison's Disease asking for more light blue bracelets. People with Epilepsy request purple, as do those with lupus and fibromyalgia. Wearing the color associated with one's condition is an empowering choice, one that helps people raise awareness in a positive, intentional way.
All week long, we've been talking, posting, tweeting, and sharing about World Diabetes Day, which was Thursday, November 14. To wrap up this special week and continue our Diabetes Awareness Month efforts, we've asked one of our favorite authors to join us for Free Stuff Friday: Scott Benner of the blog Arden's Day and the award-winning memoir, Life Is Short, Laundry Is Eternal: Confessions of a Stay-At-Home Dad. Check out the end of this post for entry instructions. TWO LUCKY WINNERS WILL RECEIVE A $50 LAUREN'S HOPE GIFT CERTIFICATE AND A SIGNED COPY OF SCOTT'S BOOK!
What's better than Friday? Free Stuff Friday, of course!
Today's Free Stuff Friday is a team effort with our friend, Karen Graffeo, the Type 1 Diabetes blogger behind Bitter~Sweet and Diabetes Blog Week. Recently, Karen started wearing a Lauren's Hope medical alert bracelet after avoiding medical ID jewelry for years. We're proud to say she's now a very happy Lauren's Hope fan who wears her bracelet daily!
Today, on the Lauren's Hope blog, we welcome guest blogger, Jacquie Paul Wojcik, whose blog, Typical Type 1, chronicles her (busy, healthy, active, funny, normal) life with Type 1 Diabetes. We hope you'll check her out!
Yes! It's Friday! And better yet, it's FREE STUFF FRIDAY! We engrave hundreds and thousands of medical ID plaques here at Lauren's Hope, and every once in a while, our awesome engraving team gets a request that makes us chuckle or just say, "Awwwww!" such as this engraving on Andrew Mills' Napoli medical ID bracelet, which he ordered in honor of his girlfriend, Celeste Morris, and was kind enough to share with us.
For people with hypertension, or high blood pressure, medical alert bracelets are an extra layer of protection against serious complications from a cardiac event. If your blood pressure is high most of the time (that is, not just when you're nervous at the doctor or have been drinking excessive amounts of caffeine, but high in resting and moderately active states), your doctor will likely run additional tests, measure your blood pressure at various points in the day, and diagnose you with high blood pressure. This means your blood pressure is usually 140/90 or above. Normal blood pressure is 120/80 or below (it can be too low, however, which is also potentially problematic).
Millions of people wear medical ID necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and charms every day, and they all have a reason for doing so. Here at Lauren's Hope, because we make fully customizable, interchangeable medical ID bracelets, we see all sorts of different engraving requests. Here's our list of the top ten reasons people wear medical ID jewelry.
Every now and then here at Lauren's Hope, someone in our own lives suddenly needs a medical ID bracelet. That's what happened when Jake, a 16-year-old guitar player and high school student from Tallahassee, FL, was unexpectedly hospitalized and diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Jake's mom, Julie, went to school with Lauren's Hope blogger, Tara Cohen, and said one of the first things she said to her son was, "Hey, you're going to need a medical ID, and I have the perfect place to go!" When Jake asked where, Julie handed him their laptop and said, "It's this website called Lauren's Hope. Type it in."

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the top ten questions our office receives from students and parents.
1. Who is eligible for study abroad or off-campus programs and how are students selected?
All Augustana sophomores, juniors and seniors with a 2.00 GPA (2.50 for exchange programs) or higher are eligible for any of Augustana's study abroad programs. Most of our programs have no language requirement and include courses which do not hold prerequisites.
All Augustana programs have target enrollments. When the number of applicants greatly exceeds the target enrollment for a program, a selection process is utilized. Some programs may designate a specific selection process, however most programs use a process which pools students into one of five possible cohorts based upon a combination of academic class and GPA at the time of application. A program roster is created by selecting students from the highest ranking pool, then the 2nd highest, etc. until all slots are reserved and a short waiting list is created. When an applicant is turned away from their initial program of choice, they are notified of other program options and may transfer their application to an open program.
2. How do I find out about upcoming programs?
There are several ways to get information about upcoming programs. The IOP website you are currently visiting has up-to-date information on upcoming programs year round. Augustana typically announces upcoming programs in the Fall, one year before the academic year of the program. For example, in the Fall of 2013 we would announce all programs that departing in the 2014-2015 academic year. Typically the announcement is followed by a campus-wide "all program" Study Abraod Fair in October and individual program information meetings in November. Posters around campus and email messages to the whole campus from IOP or from Program Directors are also common.
3. How do I apply to a program?
Applications by Augustana students for all Augustana programs are done electronically at www.augustana.edu/plus. Application instructions are available at any program's website once the application phase is announced. The application process is typically "live" from November through January for all programs beginning the following summer and throughout the year. This means that all 2014-2015 programs, including summer 2014 offerings, will have open enrollment from November 2013 through January 2014. In some cases programs will accept late applications beyond the January due date. If you are interested in a program beyond this date, you should speak with the Director of International & Off-Campus Programs to enquire whether the program is open for late applications. At present only summer programs accept students other than Augustana full-time students. Undergraduate students from other universities should contact the IOP Director for information on how to apply for an Augustana summer program.
4. What do programs cost?
As you might expect, this can vary greatly depending on the length of the program, its timing, the number of credits offered and other factors. During the academic year, our Term Abroad programs (Trimester length programs) are typically priced within $2,000 above an equivalent cost to on-campus tuition, fees, room & board. There are some programs which are priced above the $2,000 margin, as some regions of the world or some programs simply have higher on-the-ground costs. Others may come in at or around the standard cost for tuition, room & board on campus. Short-term or break programs, as well as Summer programs, have greater variation in cost due to the unique nature of their travel, but you can always find current pricing on any program's webpage.
5. Is financial aid available?
For any of our "term abroad" programs, those which replace a trimester on campus with one off-campus, the answer is a definitive yes. All financial aid which you would receive on campus is available to you on these programs. For short-term and summer programs, there is no Augustana financial aid available, with two noteworthy exceptions, our unique Augie Choice program and language immersion grants from the Freistat Center for Peace Studies which are available to students enrolled in our summer Spanish and French programs as well as some exchange programs (if language is studied).
6. How does Augie Choice work with study abroad programs?
Augie Choice grants any student in their junior year or beyond (60+ credits of completed credits) the opportunity to receivea one-time grant of $2,000 from Augustana towards a study abroad program, internship or research project. Each year there is also a small number of programs which are Augie Choice eligible for sophomores. These include any program which operates on a 3-year cycle as well as any program in which coursework during Spring Trimester is paired with a travel component in the early weeks of summer.
Eligible students may request Augie Choice funds for any approved study abroad program (including non-Augustana programs with permission of the IOP Director.) Payments are made 30 days prior to departure for all programs, which means that for many students attending Augustana study abroad programs, where payments are often due earlier than this date, the Augie Choice funds act as a reimbursement for funds students have paid in advance. For others, Augie Choice is used to cover airfare or other out-of-pocket expenses associated with a study abroad program. Applications are available in the CEC offices (Sorensen Hall) or as part of your online study abroad application at www.augustana.edu/plus and must be completed no later than 60 days prior to the departure date of your program.
7. What if I want to go somewhere other than the Augustana programs available?
Each year there are a handful of students who opt to seek out a non-Augustana study abroad program. If you are interested in a location which is unavailable through Augustana programs or have a particular program which is of great interest to you, you should set up an appointment with the Director of International & Off-Campus Programs to discuss your interests. There are guidelines for outside programs which assist students with the often-murky business of transferring credits. Your first step should be a consultation with our offices. Augie Choice funds are available for non-Augustana programs, however much of your standard financial aid may not be available.
8. What are the advantages of going on an Augustana program?
Participating in an Augustana program offers several benefits to our students. Traveling with Augustana often means eligibility for your standard Augustana financial aid package, as well as avoiding the hassles of transfer credit approvals. It also means traveling with Augustana faculty, taking Augustana courses and assurance of Augustana quality control. You know when you study on an Augustana program that the courses abroad are of the same high standard as those offered on campus and you will have support on the ground for any circumstances which arise. Augustana has been in the study abroad business for over 40 years and we are proud of the quality of all our programs.
9. How do programs relate to my studies at Augustana?
In nearly all cases, our programs have courses offered by Augustana faculty and courses that have been designed to match our curriculum and general education expectations. This means that Augustana programs offer you a diversity of coursework which helps you progress towards graduation. Whether this is a Learning Community program, various Gen Ed Learning Perspectives or courses for your major, our study abroad offerings provide courses that are as much a part of the Augustana experience as those you take on our campus in Rock Island.
10. When I apply I have to turn in a deposit. Is that refundable?
Your program deposit is fully refunded if you are not accepted into the program of your choice. If you are accepted into a program but choose to withdraw before the first payment due date, all but $25 is refunded back to you. Students who delay withdrawal until after the program payments come due are responsible for any unrecoverable or shared program costs and may receive only a partial refund of both the deposit and any program funds which have already come due by that date. A full refund policy is available to students along with the application instructions and again when they make a deposit at the college's Business Office.

Cancer survivor Danny Jacobs wins 'greatest victory' with first-round knockout at Barclays Center
NEW YORK — Danny Jacobs called it the greatest victory of his life.
After what he's been through over the past year-and-a-half, it's easy to understand why.
Jacobs, who has overcome cancer and paralysis caused by a large tumor on his spine, was back in action for the first time in 19 months on the undercard of Saturday's fight card at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. He needed just 73 seconds to knock out Josh Luteran, closing the show with a devastating left-right combination that left his opponent supine on the canvas.
"Everyone in the world is affected by cancer, whether they have it themselves or whether they know someone with cancer," Jacobs said. "For me to overcome this, I feel like I give people hope and I take pride in that. When I'm in there, I represent all cancer patients."
Nicknamed "The Golden Child," Jacobs hails from Brownsville, the Brooklyn neighborhood that produced world champions Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe and Shannon Briggs. So the significance of fighting on the undercard of Saturday's Danny Garcia-Erik Morales fight — which included the first world title bouts in Brooklyn since 1931 — was not lost on him.
"To be able to be a part of this historic event, it doesn't get any bigger than this," Jacobs said. "Mike Tyson never had a Brooklyn venue such as this, (nor did) Zab Judah or any of the greats. For me to have this venue, it means the world to me."
Jacobs turned pro in 2007 after one of the most decorated amateur careers in New York's storied fistic history, with a 137-7 record and four consecutive Golden Gloves titles. He was a rising star in the middleweight division, with a 22-1 record and 19 knockouts, when he was diagnosed with cancer in May 2011.
"With everything that I've been through, this is my dream coming true," said Jacobs of fighting before a hometown crowd that included the three doctors from New York Presbyterian Hospital who saved his life. "This was a goal for me to open up the Barclays. When I was laying in my house in bed, this is what motivated me, because I knew that this moment was a possibility even when they told me it wasn't. That's the hunger that kept me driving and pushing when I was getting better."
As he adroitly fielded interviews from dozens of print and TV media in the bowels of the Barclays Center, Jacobs said he was looking forward to staying active and fighting for a title in the not-so-distant future.
"I want to fight," he said. "I want to get back to the top."
For now, the title of cancer survivor will do.
– Bryan Armen Graham

Post-Graduate Fellowship
The Post-Graduate Fellowship (PGF) is an intensive training program that provides opportunities for self-directed research and interdisciplinary collaboration in health metrics. Strong candidates for this program have graduate-level training in quantitative methodology from one of the following areas: health policy, economics, mathematics, computer science, statistics, biostatistics, epidemiology, health services, demography, engineering, physics, medical sciences, or other related fields.
The PGF program combines academic research, education and training, and professional work with progressive, on-the-job training and mentoring from an accomplished group of professors and researchers.
The purpose of the fellowship is to prepare fellows for future positions in academia, national health agencies, international organizations, and foundations:
- Enhance skills in conducting in-depth, methodological research on a variety of global health topics with mentoring from faculty and researchers who are the leading minds in their fields.
- Advance knowledge of quantitative analytical methodologies and their applications to global health.
- Develop understanding of the current global health landscape and its challenges.
- Strengthen the ability to design and implement research projects, prepare scientific manuscripts for publication in international journals, and mentor junior researchers.
- Build skills in federal and foundation grant proposal development and submission.
IHME fellows work to support the Institute's core research to answer these three critical questions: What are the major health problems? How well is society addressing these problems? How do we best dedicate resources to maximize health improvement? To achieve that end, fellows will work in one or two of the following research areas:
- Measuring Health: To better measure global health, IHME researchers generate systematic estimates of demographics, such as mortality and population, and health outcomes, including mortality, causes of death, risk factors, functional health status, and the burden of disease. As part of this work, researchers are improving verbal autopsy methods to gather more accurate data on mortality and causes of death in low-resource settings.
- Tracking Performance: To track the performance of societies in addressing health challenges, IHME researchers measure effective intervention coverage and conduct impact evaluations of policies and programs and assess health system performance globally, at the country and regional levels, and in smaller areas, such as US counties. IHME also monitors costs and social determinants and analyzes public and private development assistance for health and how that funding affects health spending by developing countries.
- Maximizing Impact: To maximize the impact of health information, IHME researchers estimate the cost effectiveness of health service delivery platforms and interventions and provide guidance about optimal resource allocation. IHME also identifies health care delivery constraints and analyzes equity and fairness in decision-making.
- Innovative Measurement Systems: To advance the science of health measurement and evaluation, IHME researchers develop survey instruments and create analytical tools to harness the value of data from national and international health information systems and from locally available sources. IHME also works to improve integrated surveillance systems and devise new computational algorithms.
Fellows receive training through on-the-job research, methods workshops, access to University of Washington courses, and on-site lectures and seminars. Fellows contribute directly to IHME's research agenda through their involvement in research teams, development of new methods, and managing and driving research projects to meet deliverables.
Training camp
At the beginning of the Post-Graduate Fellowship program, fellows participate in an intensive three-week training camp taught by IHME faculty and staff, designed to familiarize fellows with Institute research projects, statistical packages and methods, and current global health challenges. It is also intended to familiarize fellows with our structure, operations, and the IHME community.
Weekly seminars
IHME seminars feature senior researchers and policy experts presenting on current issues relating to global health. Seminars are intended to expose IHME researchers to a plethora of innovative research projects and the diversity of challenges in global health.
Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club seminars are intended for IHME's internal research staff to present developing work and receive feedback from their colleagues. The seminars are designed to help researchers advance their work, consider different viewpoints, research strategies, and learn more about different research teams' projects.
Training workshops
To support the fellows' professional and developmental growth, IHME sponsors training workshops once per quarter to further the cohorts' expertise in quantitative analytical techniques and tools.
Fellows are supervised and mentored by faculty and researchers who provide direct guidance in academic and professional development. Supervision/mentorship facilitates the fellows' ongoing learning and development as a professional, individual, and global health researcher while advancing the IHME research agenda.
Course work
Fellows are encouraged to take classes at the University of Washington as part of their education and training as global health researchers.
Journal club
Each week, PGFs and a faculty facilitator meet to discuss and evaluate a peer-reviewed article concerning a current global health issue. A PGF leads a discussion on the article's quantitative methods, research design, and broader implications.

Sajid Mahmood celebrated his return to Lancashire's first team by taking two for 15 in 5.1 overs against Middlesex in Wednesday's NatWest Pro40 match at Lord's
but there was frustration for both sides when heavy rain forced the abandonment of the Division Two clash after the home side had scored 112 for three in 26.1 overs.
The 28-year-old fast bowler was playing his first game since being sidelined with an intercostal muscle injury on August 4th and he dismissed Dawid Malan, caught at square-leg by Steven Croft, and Neil Dexter, pouched at cover by stand-in skipper Mark Chilton, as the league leaders struggled to 28 for two after eight overs.
But the in-form Middlesex opener Nick Compton was joined by the former Lancashire junior John Simpson and this pair had added 52 for the third wicket before Simpson, having made a polished 22 in 31 balls, was beaten in the flight by Stephen Parry and stumped by Gareth Cross, his onetime rival for a wicketkeeper's berth at Old Trafford.
Parry finished with figures of one for 25 in seven overs and his display confirmed the progress the 23-year-old slow left-armer has made this summer.
Compton hit five fours in his 52 not out and had added 32 for the fourth wicket with Gareth Berg when the showers which had circled Lord's all afternoon finally merged into a spell of heavy rain which never relented sufficently to allow a resumption.
Lancashire take one point from the "no result" at Lord's, an outcome which leaves the Old Trafford side still in third place in the Division Two table, two points behind pacesetters Middlesex but with a game in hand on the leaders.

Seychelles is an archipelago nation of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, which has 81 000 inhabitants for a surface of 455 km2
Seychelles' incomes mainly come from touristic activities (120 000 tourists/year) and from fishing; the tuna fishing industry is especially well-developed. The oil transport industry is growing and is now the third greatest income-generating sector.
Seychelles is a country with an intermediate income of the higher section. The level of social development (residences, schooling, and social security benefits) is also very high.
However the financial situation turned sour during the 90's due to external and internal reasons. Nowadays the country confronts financial difficulties and accumulates debt. The total public debt represents almost 1.400 M$, or 200% of GDP.
The Republic of Seychelles is currently working on a reorganization of its foreign financial relations. A national programme of macroeconomic reforms was launched in July.

They're tired, hungry, and yearning to breathe free, but they're still eons away from their land of promise.
At least 33 hours away, to be exact.
Yes, tickets for Game 3 of the American League Championship Series are slated to go on sale sometime between 9 and 11 on Saturday morning at Fenway Park.
And Friday at 2 a.m. in the Boston darkness, 21-year-old junior college student Tom Bard completed his drive from Winslow, Maine, rolled up in his Pathfinder, and parked it a Bill Mueller bunt's distance from Mecca, otherwise known as the Fenway box office.
He's the chosen one. The first one in the line.
Thirteen hours, 57 empty Big Mac boxes, and 150 people later, Bard still sits in his catbird seat along Brookline Avenue, where Red Sox Nation has set up a colony of hopeful disciples.
"I won't feel like I've won anything," Bard said. "Not until I got 'em in my hand."
Nos. 37-54 in line are members and alumni of the Delta Upsilon fraternity at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
You'd expect budding Einsteins to come up with a way to avoid spending close to two days on a sidewalk, and naturally they have.
Mike McDonald, a 23-year-old graduate of MIT who somehow doesn't have a job yet, said he brought a sofa down at about 3 a.m. and lounged in it peacefully for about eight hours until the police made him bring it back to the nearby alumni headquarters.
"It was all over the morning news," McDonald said. "Two guys sleeping on couches. I guess the captain saw it on TV and that was that."
Sitting quietly and studiously in a camping chair across from McDonald was Matt Waldon. He wasn't smiling and he certainly was not playing Texas hold 'em with the other brothers.
Perhaps it's because he was nose-deep in a book called Discrete-Time Signal Processing.
You know that one, right?
J.K. Rowling's first book, right before the Harry Potter series took off. The one with that killer cliff-hanger chapter called "Transform Analysis of Linear Time Invariant Systems."
"It's electrical engineering," Waldon said before diving back into the pages.
Heading over to Lansdowne Street, father and son Hank and Patrick Dunn soaked in the local sights while braving the masses in New York Yankees gear.
The Dunns drove up from the South Bronx and said they're just fine with the hostility Sox fans have been throwing their way.
In fact, they've taken to breaking into a shrill, alarmingly jarring rendition of Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York," about every 30 seconds.
They did another impromptu version as waitress Claudia Busto exited her workplace, the Tiki Room.
Unlike most other human beings with fully functioning ears, Busto was grooving to their tune.
"Keep singing it," she said with glee. "Maybe we'll shut up all these Red Sox fans around here."
As it turns out, Busto is from Flushing, N.Y., so she enjoys skewering the Sox.
Her favorite recent anecdote chronicles a night in the life of a Boston outfielder Busto said stopped in for dinner.
"He sat here for two hours, ate our food, had a few drinks, and everything was cool," Busto said. "Then when he was settling up the bill, he pulled out a gift certificate from Jillian's. That's the place next door. Duh."
Doubling back to the other side of the stadium, there's suddenly no more line on Brookline.
The police have decided once and for all to kick all the ticket-seekers off the sidewalk. They'll have to come back in the morning and try their luck again.
Tom Bard is bummed.
"I don't understand it," he said. "We weren't unruly or anything. We were just talking about baseball. It's like they don't want us to be fans or something."
Then he remembers something, points to his Pathfinder and smiles.
"You know what? I'm parked legally in that spot."
"I'm just gonna sit in my car all night."

4. Cataloguing and preparation of records
This is the process of preparing records for permanent preservation. For paper records it includes creating descriptions and physically preparing the files for transfer. For digital records it includes generating metadata and preparing digital files for transfer. Preparation for transfer is an important step which must be completed in accordance with The National Archives' guidelines - it is a necessary part of ensuring the long-term survival and preservation of the records.
The process applies equally to bodies that transfer to a place of deposit. Bear in mind that places of deposit will have their own cataloguing and metadata standards and conventions.
There is a quick reference guide covering the key elements. We have published more detailed guidance on cataloguing, physical preparation and planning and arranging delivery of records.

It was 33 years ago Saturday night (December 29th, 1979) that Paul McCartney & Wings gave their final live performance. McCartney, who had formed the band in 1971, had seen the group go through several incarnations -- running through three guitarists and four drummers in only seven years. The main nucleus of the band, McCartney, wife Linda and Denny Laine, were the group's only constant members. The final 1979 line-up featured guitarist Lawrence Juber and drummer Steve Holley.Their final show, which was the closing spot on the three-night Concerts For The People Of Kampuchea UNICEF benefits at London's Hammersmith Odeon, featured Wings' normal two hour set, before being joined by the Who's Pete Townshend and Kenny Jones, Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones, along with Ronnie Lane, James Honeyman-Scott of the Pretenders, Bruce Thomas of the Attractions, Procol Harum's Gary Brooker, and Dave Edmunds, for a three-song "Rockestra" performance.The mini-set, which featured all the musicians in gold lame tails and top hats, included nearly 40 musicians tearing through Little Richard's "Lucille," the Beatles' "Let It Be," and two run-throughs of McCartney's "Rockestra Theme," which was released earlier that year, featuring many of the same musicians, on Wings' Back To The Egg album. The tune went on to snag the Grammy for that year's "Best Rock Instrumental Performance."The Kampuchea benefit, which McCartney organized, came on the heels of Wings' recent UK tour -- which was to be the first leg of a world tour that was due to hit Japan in January. McCartney's subsequent pot bust upon landing in Tokyo on January 16th, 1980 and eventual ten-day incarceration forced McCartney to not only cancel the Japan dates, but scrap the entire tour due to visa problems, losing millions of dollars.Wings re-grouped twice in 1980 -- in July and again in October -- to work on new McCartney material for his Tug Of War album. According to legend, when McCartney reunited with George Martin, the Beatles' legendary producer informed him, in no uncertain terms, he wouldn't produce anything but a solo McCartney effort.After John Lennon's murder on December 8th, 1980, McCartney decided to put any live appearances on hold indefinitely. In March 1981, selections from Wings' final show were included on the live Concerts For The People Of Kampuchea album. Wings was quietly disbanded a month later, in April 1981.Back in 2001 McCartney released his Wingspan documentary chronicling the group's career. As he replayed the band's time together, he said that Wings was first and foremost a lesson in overcoming the impossible: "The great thing about this story is it's got a lot of human drama because it was a struggle trying to put it together after the Beatles. I mean, the Beatles career itself was a struggle, but then having reached those heights, to try and do it over and at the same time bring up a, a young family was quite an interesting human interest story. And that comes over."Although Denny Laine was the sole co-founder of the group to weather all of Wings' lineups, he told us that McCartney tended to keep the band's decisions pretty close to the hip: "Y'know, you've got to remember that I wasn't really involved in that -- it was Paul's baby, really. I just kind of turned up for work, and I had ideas obviously, but as far the administration and record company discussions, I wasn't a part of any of that."Laine's recent live shows have featured a smattering of Wings hits. He says that he thought McCartney's early '90s band was a good fit, but he's not thrilled with McCartney's latest group of sidemen: "I'm not so wild about the one he's got now to be honest with you. Because it doesn't rock. It's all about Paul now. Like, that's the thing about being in a band, when you start working and doing a lot of live dates and a lot of recording, you become a band. It doesn't matter how famous one of the members are, you just become a band. Well now, it doesn't sound like a band, it sounds like Paul doing his stuff with backing musicians."In December 2007, McCartney and Laine, who have been estranged since 1981, were photographed backstage at a UB40 concert in London.Footage from Wings' final performance at London's Hammersmith Odeon on December 29th, 1979 was featured in the DVD's included in the 2011 deluxe reissues of the McCartney and McCartney II albums.

My condolences, Ben. And I'm happy to see some salty talk: a little dose of "24/7" here at Rink Rats. Early in the post-game coronation of the Kings last night, prior to the appearance, on the ice, of the Stanley Cup, Dustin Brown, the Kings' captain and fire hydrant, repressed his elation just long enough to grant an interview to NBC's Pierre McGuire. Right away Brown dropped an F-bomb, proving that you can take the hockey player out of the dressing room but you can't take the dressing room out of the hockey player. "That's why we fuckin' play," he said, in reference to the hardware he was about to receive. Mike Emrick, up in the booth, apologized on his behalf, right afterward, and I, presumably along with many other viewers, immediately adopted the declaration as a motto, in life as in hockey. It seems to fit, even for those billions of us with no hope of ever touching the Cup.
Brown's best response came in answer to McGuire's last question, about the impact the Kings' win will have on the growth of hockey in Southern California. First, Brown cited Wayne Gretzky, who came to L.A. in 1993 and raised awareness of and enthusiasm for the game. Then he stammered a bit and said, almost philosophically, that we'll have to wait twenty years before we know what influence, if any, the Kings' unlikely victory will have. A dash of wisdom, amid the shmaltz. The kids who may now be inspired to play, or at least to buy season tickets, are a long way from their first rookie camp or platinum card.Continue Reading >>

Category 3 IPA pours a golden color with a white head from a brown one gallon growler. The aroma is quite hoppy, mostly citrus and pine notes. The flavor is the same, pine resin and grapefruit dominate. Decent, but just about the standard issue IPA with nothing to make it stand out above the crowd.

On tap at the brewery. Served in a taster.
Appearance - Clear orange body. Nice white head. Good retention. Nice lacing.
Smell - Mild citrus and pine hop. Diacetyl? Might be.
Taste - Still some diacetyl here, but less. Mild citrus hop. Grainy malt smoothed out by the buttery flavor. Eh.
Mouthfeel - Medium body. Medium carbonation.
Overall - Diacetyl kills this. Maybe it's a bad batch.

First had: on tap at Coffee District, Delray Beach, FL
Slightly hazy, amber pour with a small white head that receded to a wispy layer, leaving a few spots of lacing on the glass. Smell was a bit funky, and not in a saison way, like something was off here; thin and malty, soapy, distant leafy hops. This translated into the taste, unfortunately. It wasn't completely undrinkable, but this was not a very well-done IPA overall. Sweet thinned-out malts, light fruits, dishwater, leafy hops that really didn't provide a freshness or crispness that, in my opinion, makes a good IPA. Light-medium body, and just not very drinkable. Fortunately, this was a taster, because, hmm...

I had this on-tap while we were in Key West. Served in a standard pint glass.
Appearance: The beer pours a cloudy amber color with a finger of off white head that fades to a layer on top of the pour and leaves some nice lacing.
Smell: Some sweet malt with a citrus peel/soapy hop note. I'm getting some warmth from the alcohol as well.
Taste: Soapy hops dominate the flavor with a citrus peel bitterness. Mild fruity notes with a touch of sweet malt and a bunch of hop bitterness in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with very foamy carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall: It didn't feel like there was much artistry going on in this beer. The bitterness was super aggressive, but nothing was subtle. The alcohol stuck out a bit too much as well.

*From notes
A: Clean 24k amber. A 1.25 finger head, minimal lacing and a small collar top the glass.
S: Pine, a touch of fresh juice, sticky resin and a bit of charred malt.
T: Dry, with plenty of biting, bitter hops. As it moves back, I get some juiciness and fruit. Really pleasant.
M: Dense. It's a bit thicker and rich then I originally expected for a south Florida beer.
O: Pretty well done, Due South. I'd like to see a bit more tropical, juiciness to this, as it was 98 degrees (see what I did there?) outside when I quaffed this. And when it's that hot, gimme fruit, not pine and resin. But it's a minor squabble, as this IPA is tasty none the less. Can't wait to tick their Category 4 DIPA.

AUGUSTA — Maine has joined several other states and the U.S. Department of Justice in a lawsuit against Standard & Poor's claiming that the debt-rating agency engaged in unfair and deceptive business practices in rating certain financial securities that were at the heart of the nation's financial crisis.
FILE - This Oct. 9, 2011 file photo shows 55 Water Street, home of Standard & Poor's, in New York. S&P said Monday, Feb. 4, 2013, the U.S. government is expected to file civil charges against Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, alleging that it improperly gave high ratings to mortgage debt that later plunged in value and helped fuel the 2008 financial crisis. The charges would mark the first enforcement action the government has taken against a major rating agency involving the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. (AP Photo/Henny Ray Abrams, File)
The complaint, filed Tuesday by Maine Attorney General Janet Mills, contends that Standard & Poor's operated with a conflict of interest and prioritized profits over objective ratings. The lawsuit was filed in Kennebec County Superior Court.
The U.S. Department of Justice filed a similar lawsuit late Monday. The government argues that Standard & Poor's committed fraud by giving high ratings to risky mortgage bonds that helped bring about the financial crisis.
It says the agency's desire to make money and gain market share caused it to ignore risks posed by the investments from September 2004 to October 2007.
Maine's lawsuit contends that Standard & Poor's knew its analytical models could not properly assess the complex securities but it continued to rate those products anyway, often awarding them the highest and safest rating of AAA.
"S&P operated with an inherent conflict of interest because the revenues it earned came from the companies, usually banks, whose securities it rated," Mills says in the lawsuit.
Maine's lawsuit alleges that the misconduct began as early as 2001, increased from 2004 to 2007 and continued until 2011.
"They sold the country a bill of goods. We want to change behavior on Wall Street," Mills said in a telephone interview.
Mills' office seeks court orders to stop Standard & Poor's from making misrepresentations to the public, changes in the way the debt-rating agency does business, civil penalties, and the disgorgement of ill-gotten profits, which may total hundreds of millions of dollars.
States that have filed similar lawsuits are Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, North Carolina, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Washington, and the District of Columbia.
Standard & Poor's, a unit of New York-based McGraw-Hill Cos., denied wrongdoing and said that any lawsuit would be without merit.
The complaints contend that investors and state regulators relied on Standard & Poor's to fulfill its promise to maintain independence and objectivity.
"S&P went out of its way to market itself as having a high code of conduct," Mills said.
She said Maine is not considering suing Standard & Poor's main competitor, Moody's Investors Service Inc.

Region's best getaways for the girlsGRAND FORKS - Amanda Vogt and her girlfriends want to put a stop to men having all the fun. "It seems that men are always gone hunting or fishing with their friends on the weekend," she said. "We deserve something fun on the weekends, too."
By: Anna G. Larson, INFORUM
GRAND FORKS - Amanda Vogt and her girlfriends want to put a stop to men having all the fun.
"It seems that men are always gone hunting or fishing with their friends on the weekend," she said. "We deserve something fun on the weekends, too."
Vogt, a mother of two in Grand Forks, joined five of her friends recently on a motorcycle trip to Grand Rapids, Minn. The women didn't let anything get in their way of a good time.
Taking her breast pump with her on the road, Amanda pumped during her trip.
"Women shouldn't let being a mom get in the way of having a girls-only weekend," she said.
The friends vowed to make their getaway an annual event.
Start your own tradition with your girlfriends by planning a weekend getaway:
Stillwater, Minn.
Stillwater is a charming getaway in southeastern Minnesota.
Get your shop on in the historical downtown area, where more than 100 unique owner-operated stores dot Main Street.
Find the perfect vintage dress at Finny Fox Retro and Vintage Apparel. Head to Grace James Boutique for trendy but affordable apparel. Home and garden shops, spas, antique stores, book stores and restaurants, also owned by locals, occupy the rest of Main Street.
"You don't find any standard stores or chains here – they're all unique," said Barb Trueman, marketing director of the Stillwater Visitors Bureau (www.discoverstillwater.com).
In the heart of the downtown historical district sits the Water Street Inn. Treat yourself to a room with a view of the St. Croix River.
After checking in, unleash your inner foodie with a cooking class at Cooks of Crocus Hill (www.cooksofcrocushill.com).
With the philosophy of "joy and connection" through cooking, students learn technique through tasting and doing under the direction of local, national and international chefs.
On Sunday, refresh the body and spirit with a class at Natural Balance of Stillwater (www.nbpilates.com). The Pilates studio can accommodate private group sessions.
"Pilates is great for women of all ages," said Carol Ricci, owner of Natural Balance of Stillwater. "It changes the composition of your body."
Alexandria, Minn.
Known as "easy to get to, hard to leave," Alexandria is a lake escape with a twist.
A weekend jaunt to Alexandria starts with an afternoon at Carlos Creek Winery (www.carlos
creekwinery.com). Go underground to the wine cave during the free tour to see where barrels of red wine are left to age.
"It's an experience you'd expect in France, not in Minnesota," said Tami Bredeson, president of the winery.
After the tour, head to the tasting room. For $5, sample five different Carlos Creek wines. All guests receive a complimentary wine glass.
Next, check in at West Ridge Shores Resort (www.westridgeshores.com). The multi-cabin resort rents cabins of all sizes and has an on-site art studio where guests can learn a new craft.
"We do women's getaways a lot, and we have something for everyone," said Erin Frederiksen, owner of West Ridge Shores Resort.
The cabins have modern amenities such as air conditioning, televisions, DVD players, dishwashers and showers.
On the way home Sunday, stop in Detroit Lakes, Minn., for a shopping excursion at Shady Hollow Flea Market (www.shadyhollowfleamarket.com).
Open 6:30 a.m. to about 3 p.m. every Sunday through Labor Day, the market features new and used items like antiques, books, fresh produce, furniture, clothing, jewelry and more.
Up to 150 temporary vendors and 23 permanent vendors from the tri-state area sell their goods, said Chad Stenerson, manager and owner of Shady Hollow Flea Market.
Medora, N.D.
A truly North Dakotan girlfriend getaway exists in North Dakota's Wild West – Medora (www.medora.com).
Saddle up for a morning trail ride at the Medora Riding Stables on the eastern edge of town. On the guided trail, take in the natural beauty of North Dakota's landscape.
"There aren't a lot of opportunities for horseback riding on a trail in North Dakota," said Stephanie Fong, spokeswoman for the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation. "It's a really great way to start a trip to Medora."
Fong suggested dressing the part by checking out the Western wear at local shops.
After horseback riding, indulge in pampering at Cedar Canyon Spa (www.cedarcanyonspa.
com). The Western-themed spa encourages "kicking off your boots and kicking back."
Several types of massages and wraps soothe achy bodies. Visitors can even soak in a claw-foot tub of chocolate milk. Rich chocolate, whole milk and a touch of vanilla remove toxins and reduce the chance of cellulite, according to the spa's website.
Step back into your boots and enjoy the Medora Musical. Held outdoors in the 2,852-seat Burning Hills Amphitheatre, Medora's famous musical is performed nightly through Sept. 8. Each show pays tribute to American patriotism and the Old West.
"It's musical fun in an upbeat setting right here in the Badlands," Fong said.
Grand Forks
Groups of girlfriends don't need to look any further than our neighbor to the north for a fun city weekend.
The Art & Wine Walk, held the third Saturday of every month through October, is a must-do for a girls' weekend, said Sandy Dobmeier, visitor service manager at the Greater Grand Forks Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Each woman purchases a wine walk map for $15 and visits participating downtown businesses that are hosting a regional or local artist. Most locations serve wine samples, and some locations serve food.
The map is stamped after visiting each location, and at 5 p.m., maps are brought to the wrap-up party at the Empire Arts Center, where wine walk-goers can win prizes.
If you can't catch the Art & Wine Walk, the North Dakota Museum of Art, "a cultural jewel on the prairie," is the next best thing.
Besides the permanent collection, the museum has frequent traveling exhibits. The current exhibit, People's Gold, runs through Sept. 30, and features important works of art owned by the people of North Dakota.
Recent acquisitions include work by Julian Schnabel, Helen Frankenthaler, James Rosenquist and Robert Motherwell.
Outdoors, enjoy a 25,000-square-foot butterfly garden, located next to East Grand Forks (Minn.) Central Middle School. The garden is designed to attract all types of butterflies, and the native prairie site features a variety of different grasses and wild flowers.
The Japanese Gardens in Sertoma Park are "a pretty place to take a break," Dobmeier said. Developed and completed by representatives from Grand Forks' sister city Awano, Japan, the gardens feature Japanese rock lanterns and various rock and gravel formations.
Several restaurants with outdoor seating and views of the riverbank are found on the boardwalk in East Grand Forks.
Personalized itineraries are available by calling the Grand Forks Convention & Visitors Bureau (www.visitgrandforks.com).

Published December 13, 2012
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — For a team that wasn't supposed to compete with a No.3 Texas lineup that was taller, faster and stronger, the Michigan volleyball team sure made it close.
More like this
Unranked, without a star and riding a wave of momentum, the Michigan volleyball team caught four teams unprepared in the NCAA Tournament en route to its first-ever Final Four.
But on Thursday, Texas was ready. The Cinderella run ended in a close five set match as the Longhorns won, 25-11, 21-25, 23-25, 25-12, 15-11.
Sophomore setter Lexi Dannemiller did what she did all season, but it ultimately was wasn't enough. Early in the first set, she took a pass from freshman libero Tiffany Morales and isolated junior outside hitter Lexi Erwin to blast a kill.
The third-ranked Longhorns were waiting at the net, though. A pair of Texas blockers rejected the ball and the Wolverines were left scrambling for it, caught off guard for the first time this postseason.
Michigan, coming off its win over No. 2 Stanford, ended the longest postseason run in its 29-year program history.
"We're disappointed, we didn't want to finish this way," said Michigan coach Mark Rosen. "I thought tonight... the way it started, it could have gone a negative direction, and I thought our team did a great job of pulling through and competing extremely well
"I'm proud of this whole team for collectively what they created in the culture of our gym."
Texas went on a 12-1 run in the middle of the first set, finding the holes in Michigan's defense that few had exploited all season. The Longhorns used another 4-0 run later in the set to take a 1-0 lead. But Rosen, in his 14th season, rallied his team to make a game that looked out of control become manageable.
"Everyone literally made every single error that you could in the first game, so we got all those out of the way," Erwin said. "The next set we kinda (said) 'you know, they have a three before their name and we don't, so we don't have the pressure on us.' Our team just came out with this fearlessness mentality."
Tied at seven to begin the second set, Erwin wound up and finished with a hard swing on the ball for a kill. Without celebration, Erwin broke Michigan's single-season kill record with her 597th. The previous mark, held by outside hitter Katie Bruzdzinski, stood for five years before the junior etched her name in the record books.
Combined with that mentality and a change in their offense, the Wolverines reversed roles, catching the Longhorns off guard. Texas's speed and size allowed them to hang on, but led by Erwin's seven kills, Michigan was able to slowly pull away.
Under the bright lights of the KFC Yum! Center, Erwin shined the brightest of the Wolverines, making all 13,385 fans forget about the All-American hitter on the other side of the court. Texas sophomore Haley Eckerman, who still finished 16 kills, paled in comparison to the Spring, Texas native.
Back-and-forth play highlighted the remainder of the second set, until Michigan scored five of the last seven points, fittingly capped by a kill from Erwin.
"She's an amazing player and we have nothing but respect for her," said Texas junior outside hitter Bailey Webster. "Even though every team is going to scout you, there's great players all over the country. Sometimes they're going to score their points. They're being talked about for a reason."
The Wolverines went into the locker room tied at one set apiece, and carried the momentum back out with them. The Longhorns, try as they might, couldn't stop Erwin and the Wolverines balanced play in the third set.
Both teams played similarly, rarely letting the other jump out to a lead larger than three points. Erwin once again finished the set with a kill.
"I definitely think the tempo of our offense helped a lot," Erwin said. "They're high flyers, big blockers. I think if it wasn't for the speed of Dannemilleer sets out to the pin, I wouldn't be having those seems."
Erwin finished with 26 kills and eight digs on the night, while fifth-year senior right-side hitter Claire McElheny finished with 15 kills in support during her last game as a Wolverine.
Texas, despite struggling to answer back, was prepared for Michgan's impending momentum swing in the fourth set.
The Longhorns woke back up, finally realizing its season was in the waning moments. Texas angrily attacked the ball and never slowed down to build an early lead.
