3a.1. Who are the unit's partners in the design, delivery, and evaluation of the unit's field and clinical experiences?
The unit's partners who collaborate on matters related to field experiences include the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development (EED), Alaska school districts, community campuses, unit advisory groups, the Alaska Educational Innovations Network (AEIN), and the Alaska Staff Development Network (ASDN). Standard 3A Exhibit 1 Memoranda of understanding, minutes from meetings, etc. to document partnerships with schools provide evidence of these collaborations.
3a.2. In what ways have the unit's partners contributed to the design, delivery, and evaluation of the unit's field and clinical experiences?
The Alaska State Board of Education and Early Development establishes regulations that influence the design, delivery, and evaluation of the unit's clinical experiences. Specifically, state regulation requires that: clinical placements be in public schools; candidates pass a criminal history background check and hold a Student Teacher Certificate prior to participating in an internship; candidates be evaluated using the Alaska Beginning Teacher Standards to receive initial certification; and the unit only recommend candidates who have completed an EED-approved program.
In 2008, community campus partnership guidelines were established formalizing procedures related to field experiences for initial early childhood and elementary education programs. Education faculty from these sites attend program meetings where field experience issues are discussed. They communicate their perspectives and those of school-based mentors from their areas to the discussions, ensuring the needs of their local communities are considered.
Alaska school districts provide the sites and school-based faculty for all of the unit's field and clinical experiences. Programs use various partnership agreements. School principals are involved in the selection and placement of initial and advanced teacher candidates and most other school professionals. Superintendents are involved in the placement of superintendent candidates. Program handbooks delineate the partners' responsibilities, and are modified and updated based on input from partner schools, clinical faculty, and other faculty involved in field experiences. The school-based faculty provide day-to-day support and mentoring for interns and provide input necessary to complete the evaluation process conducted by the University supervisor.
The Educational Leadership principal cohort model requires that the sponsoring school district work closely with the department. The school district, in collaboration with department faculty, determines the placements and any district-specific activities for the cohort.
The unit's advisory groups provide guidance on matters related to field and clinical experiences. The decision to implement a more strict background check policy for the unit was jointly made with the advisory groups, and the new policy was vetted through them before implementation.
AEIN partner school principals, mentor teachers, and cultural guides provide ongoing feedback and reflections used to prepare the initial program interns for a two-week rural field experience.
The Educational Leadership Department is a partner with ASDN in the Rural Alaska Principal Preparation and Support (RAPPS) grant. A design team, including unit faculty, outside consultants, Alaska superintendents and principals, and the director of the Alaska Administrator Coaching Program, examined the internship courses and provided rural-specific suggestions as part of the grant activities.
3a.3. What are the roles of the unit and its school partners in determining how and where candidates are placed for field experiences, student teaching, and internships?
Candidate placement in field experiences and internships is collaborative. Factors that contribute to placement decisions include diversity of school population, grade level requirements for licensure, prior field placement recommendations, content requirements, district-approved sites, prior school site and mentor teacher evaluations, and candidates' geographic location needs.
The Director of Clinical Services and Certification manages the Anchorage School District (ASD) field experience placements for early childhood and elementary programs. Clinical Services provides the school district with a description of the practicum expectations; principals recommend teachers. Candidates sign up for the school and class of their choosing. Community campus education faculty follow similar procedures to collaborate with the local district. For rural placements, the candidate must seek approval from Clinical Services and the district.
Internship placement is handled separately from other field experiences. Early childhood, elementary, and MAT candidates must first be admitted to the internship through a process including an application, interview, and criminal history background check. ASD identifies schools comprising diverse settings that will give candidates experience with different educational philosophies and with students who are English Language Learners, ethnically diverse, have special needs, and come from different socioeconomic groups. The Director of Clinical Services meets with principals to begin the placement process after they have met with their teachers and reviewed the information provided in the candidate's internship application. The interns and mentor teachers then meet for an interview. Similar procedures are used at the community campus sites, with the education faculty on site serving as the contact. For rural placements, the candidate is typically limited to one school site and must seek approval from Clinical Services and the district.
Placement of candidates in advanced programs for teachers and other school professionals is program-specific. Clinical Services supports placements for school counseling candidates; the procedures are similar to the initial programs. For special education candidates, the geographic location and employment status influences procedure. Employed candidates generally complete their internships at their school sites. The principal must approve the placement, and the mentor teacher must meet criteria established by the program. For candidates who are not employed, the department chair or assigned faculty contacts the district's central office staff and obtains site recommendations. Placement is confirmed through Clinical Services for ASD and through assigned faculty for other districts. Placement of educational leadership interns is determined in collaboration with the program faculty and the site or central administration of the partnering district.
3a.4. How do the unit and its school partners share expertise and resources to support candidates' learning in field experiences and clinical practice?
Partner school districts positively engage in the shared responsibility to prepare future educators, and participate by making significant contributions to support candidates' learning in field experiences. The unit depends upon these partners to provide both appropriate placement sites and outstanding educators to serve as school-based faculty who help prepare teachers and other school professionals. These faculty provide substantial guidance and direction to each intern during the variety of field placements that occur, and provide invaluable input into the intern evaluation process conducted by University supervisors during informal and formal observations. In addition to the direct guidance provided to interns, partner input is collected routinely through advisory boards, mentor workdays (initial programs), one-on-one contact (advanced and other school professionals), and formal and informal surveys to help the unit improve field experiences.
Unit faculty serve as professional development providers and have professional interactions in their areas of expertise. The mentor coordinator offers training and problem-solving opportunities to mentor teachers for initial programs. The coordinator serves on the Mentoring Advisory Board for ASD and participates in joint mentoring training. Mentor teachers also participate in orientation sessions with their interns.
AEIN school partners host initial program interns for a two-week rural experience. They provide placements, cultural guides, and mentor teachers. Site teams share their local knowledge and expertise with the interns. AEIN also sponsors a faculty exchange, and many COE faculty have participated in professional development opportunities in rural Alaska to enhance their knowledge and increase their ability to use culturally responsive teaching practices.

Sugar Hyped Freed ~ For ShakariSilenceLaxus was unsure what had happened, his most loyal member of the Thunder Legion was beyond out of control. The whole Guild was some mortified over what was going on. After just returning from a mission the Guild was astray as per usual, Laxus assumed that the two idiots Natsu and Gray had another destructive fight, almost obliterating the Guild again. But to Laxus's surprise it was not at all, the long pastel-ish green haired Thunder Legion member was fluttering around destructively through the Guild.Sugar Hyped Freed ~ For ShakariSilence by thedarkestkey575757
"Laxus~~" Freed cried as he spotted Laxus standing within the threshold of the Guild entrance.
Within a matter of seconds Laxus was caught up in a tight grip, his arms held tightly to his sides from Freed's grip. Laxus turned his gaze to the two other members of his Legion, Evergreen and Bickslow, who looked at Laxus with the shocked and frightful face the same a everyone else in the Guild was directing to Freed's actions. He held Laxus in a tight vice hug muttering how much he loved Laxu

You awkwardly stood up and walked over to Lucy, you place your hand in the hat and spun the paper around then grabbed one of the slips. You pulled it out of the hat and opened the slip and read out...
"Lyon?" you said unsure of who Lyon actually was.
A small sigh caused you to look to where it had come from, a man with pale white skin and white spikey hair stood up and walked over to you.
"It is nice to meet you," he said politely as he shook your hand," My name is Lyon."
"It's nice to meet you. I'm (Y/N)," you replied shaking his hand.
"Uhh, it's nice to meet you too," you said sincerly but still not knowing who Lyon really was.
Lucy urged the two of you into the small enclosed space of the cupboard and smiled at the two of you. Just as the door was finally shut you had noticed Grey's face, a small flash of uncertainty and concerned washed over his features before returning to normal. Then you were in a small dark room which was actually a cupboard with a man you didn't even know.

"Evergreen calm down," Elfman said placing his hand on her shoulders.
"How dare you tell me to calm down," she turned her anger on him, "Me queen of all Fairies!"
The room got quiet and you felt something grabbing your arm, you turned you head just the slightest to see what was hanging off your arm and not to make Evergreen think you are a threat in anyway, considering how angry she was at the moment.

I sat at my desk with Craig Mabbitt from Escape the Fate sitting across from me, both of us analyzing the images I had taken of the band for the magazine. Unfortunately Craig couldn't meet Andy since he was touring, but he was more than excited to see my baby bump and a engagement ring sitting upon my finger, while looking over the images which were quite simplistic, basic white background with all of them wearing black. Derek thought due to pregnancy to keep me within the office and take generic photos of bands, instead of finding locations and shooting them there, so many kids who will buy the next issue will be asking why all the posters are the same with a different band in each of them.
"I like this one best," Craig said, pushing the image in front of me, even though the background was the same white sheet, it was a good image. All the guys were happy, smiling and just goofing around, even Robert, even though he still wore his aviators and top hat.

A driver crashing their vehicle into the DMV – the agency responsible for deciding who can drive – is a little odd. What makes this story even more outlandish is that a 10-year old was behind the wheel.
According to the Inquisitr on Monday, a Denver woman parked her SUV outside of a Department of Motor Vehicles office on Cottonwood Drive in the suburb of Parker. Police Sgt. Andy Coleman says the woman left her 12- and 10-year-old daughters in the vehicle while she went inside, evidently leaving the keys in the vehicle.
The younger daughter then got behind the wheel, started the truck up, and took her older sister for a brief ride – directly through the front DMV's front window.
The Associated Press said "the SUV rolled slowly through the office's front window until the mother jumped in to stop it from causing more damage. No one was injured."
In Colorado, a child as young as 10 can be charged with a crime. Therefore, the police did indeed give out a ticket, not to the mom, but to the 10-year-old, who was cited for "reckless driving." Coleman says the reason he didn't ticket the mother was because she did not leave her vehicle running.

Current or past HRT users had a an approximately 1.5 greater risk of acute pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis is a sudden inflammation that occurs over a short period of time. In the majority of cases, acute pancreatitis is caused by gallstones or heavy alcohol use. Other causes include medications, infections, trauma, metabolic disorders, and surgery. In up to 30% of people with acute pancreatitis, the cause is unknown.
Several case reports have suggested that women's use of exogenous sex hormones is associated with acute pancreatitis; however, relevant epidemiologic data are sparse.
Dr. Viktor Oskarsson, Unit of Nutritional Epidemiology, Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, and colleagues examined the association between postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy and risk of acute pancreatitis.
In this prospective study, researchers examined data on 31,494 postmenopausal women, aged 48 to 83 years, from the population-based Swedish Mammography Cohort.
All participants completed a questionnaire in 1997 assessing their use of hormone replacement therapy this study ran from 1997 to 2010.
At the start of the study 13,113 (42%) of the women were current users of HRT and 3,360 (12%) were previous users and the remainder had never used the therapy. Of the current users of HRT, 6795 (52%) used systemic therapy for hot flashes, 4148 (32%) used local therapy for vaginal dryness, and 2170 (16%) used both therapies.
A total follow-up of 389, 456 person-years, researchers found 237 cases of incident acute pancreatitis. The age-standardized incidence rates per 100 000 person-years were 71 cases among women who had ever used hormone replacement therapy and 52 cases among women who had never used such hormones.
After taking account of factors likely to influence the results, the team found that women who currently or previously had used HRT had an approximately 1.5 greater risk of acute pancreatitis than those who had never used the therapy. The risk seemed higher among women who used systemic therapy (1.92) and among those with duration of therapy of more than 10 years (1.87).
The researchers write "Use of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy was associated with increased risk of acute pancreatitis. Physicians should consider this potential increase in risk when prescribing such therapy."
Dr. Oskarsson writes "There are no contemporary data that might explain our finding that the risk was sustained among past users of [HRT] or that the risk seemed to increase with duration of use." "These findings, though speculative, may suggest that exogenous estrogen induces some persistent change in the pancreas for which the duration of exposure may be important."
This study appears in CMAJ.

Ex-Florida Marlin Dan Uggla trying to extend 28-game hitting streak in South Florida
On June 7, before ex-Marlin Dan Uggla made his Sun Life Stadium debut as a Brave, he was batting .172. Two months later, Uggla is back and still generating plenty of discussion about his bat, albeit for a much different reason.
The Marlins and Braves opened a three-game set Monday with Uggla riding a 28-game hitting streak. That's halfway to Joe DiMaggio's major league-record run, a mark most believe will never fall. Uggla isn't thinking that far ahead, but he's making a point to enjoy every moment of this turnaround.
"I'm just an extreme kind of guy," said Uggla, who took a .220 average into Monday's game. "I like to provide entertainment, give people something to talk about… It's not something you explain. It's one of those rare things that happen. You just roll with it and continue to go about your routine every day, go out and play and have fun. That's all I've been doing."
Uggla's run is the longest active streak in the majors and is two games shy of matching Andre Ethier's season-best streak. He is a .355 hitter (39-for-110) during the streak, the longest by a Brave since Marquis Grissom hit in 28 straight in 1996.
Through June, Uggla's batting average hovered between .170 and .183. Starting with a 1-for-2 game on June 28 at Seattle, Uggla went on a 42-for-131 (.321) tear. He hit 13 homers, knocked in 28 and logged a 1.042 on-base plus slugging percentage over the next 34 games.
"Just like anybody in their profession, if you're going through a rough stretch you have to believe in your heart that it's going to get better," Uggla said. "Whether or not it ever does, you still have to believe it. If you don't believe it, it's never going to happen."
If Uggla extends his hitting streak Monday, he'll try to make it 30 in a row against best friend and former teammate Clay Hensley Tuesday. On July 29 in Atlanta, Hensley got Uggla to hit into a double play and struck him out before watching a seventh-inning pitch to him land over the wall in left center for a three-run homer.
"I told him I was going to put him in the ground if he puts one in my [shoulder] blades," Uggla said. "We have fun with it."

The Tax Effect of Rolling From a 401(k) to an IRA in New Jersey
Original post by Shula Asher Silberstein of Demand Media
As you approach retirement age, you must face the question of what to do with your retirement funds. You can keep them in your 401(k) until you retire or roll them over to an IRA. Rolling funds over to an IRA may save taxes in the short term, but in some cases you'll pay more taxes overall if you go this route.
Tax Deference
When you roll funds over from a 401(k) to an IRA, the funds continue to be tax-deferred. This means you don't pay any taxes on them until such time as you withdraw the funds. In addition, if you are under the age of 59 1/2, you won't pay a penalty tax if you roll the funds over, as you would if you withdrew the funds. As of the time of publication, the penalty tax is 10 percent of the total withdrawal.
Net Unappreciated Realization
New Jersey allows taxpayers to use a strategy called net unappreciated realization to lower their taxes on dividends from company stock. This strategy allows you to pay income tax each year on the average cost of the shares rather than the shares' market value. Since this strategy saves tax dollars, you may end up paying more taxes when you withdraw funds from your IRA than if you put the stock in a taxable account and paid income tax on it using net unappreciated realization each year.
Your beneficiary can take out periodic payments from your IRA every year throughout the rest of his life, while he may have to take 401(k) benefits as a lump sum. This can have serious tax consequences, as the 401(k) benefits your heir takes out are taxed as ordinary income, just as they would be if you took them out yourself. Conversely, leaving the funds in the 401(k) allows your heir to apply net unappreciated realization to them, and he doesn't have to pay taxes on investment interest that accrues after your death -- only the interest that accrues during your lifetime.
401(k) plans and IRAs both have their advantages. As you approach retirement, your 401(k) plan may charge fees that significantly cut into your retirement savings, and IRAs offer more stock options. However, if you have a large nest egg, you should consult a tax adviser before rolling over your 401(k) funds to make sure that you won't end up paying higher taxes when you withdraw money from the account.

Radisson Seven Seas Cruises expects an on-time delivery of its second all-suite, all-balcony vessel, Seven Seas Voyager. The 700-passenger ship, currently under construction at T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Italy, is set for a March 2 delivery and a March 31 christening in Monaco. The christening will coincide with the start of operations at Monaco's new cruise pier, President Mark Conroy said during a hard-hat tour of the Voyager by press and travel agents.
The Voyager combines the best of the Seven Seas Navigator and the Seven Seas Mariner. The Voyager is a sister to Mariner but not a twin, Conroy said. Like the Mariner, the Voyager will have four separate restaurants, including one operated by Le Cordon Bleu, the famed Paris cooking school. The Latitudes Restaurant will have an open galley grill, which will also be used as a show kitchen for cooking demonstrations. The smallest suite on the Voyager will measure 306 square feet, plus a 50-square-foot balcony. All suites will have larger bathrooms than the Mariner with a passenger-favorite feature from the Navigator --- a full bathtub and a separate, glass-walled shower stall. RSSC also hopes to install its first interactive TV system on the Voyager, one that will allow passengers email access from their suites as well as movies on demand. The Mariner already has perhaps the finest Internet center at sea, but the Voyager will go a step further with the addition of a coffee bar.
It doesn't look like RSSC is resting on its laurels --- the luxury line is drawing up plans for a second version of the Voyager for delivery in 2005. Conroy expects to make a final decision on construction by April. Meanwhile, the Voyager will be christened in Monaco by Barbara Carlson Gage, a member of the board of directors of RSSC parent, Carlson Companies. But will Prince Albert and Princess Caroline show up for the inaugural festivities since the Voyager will be the first ship to depart from the principality's new cruise pier? It's being discussed, so stay tuned.

Boston Beer Company, the maker of Samuel Adams, with a local brewery at Upper Macungie Township in the Lehigh Valley, purchased a nearby warehouse building to handle an increased production load.
Plans to increase the capabilities and capacity at the PA brewery site in the Valley were announced last December; the corporate brewer invested in more aging and fermentation tanks at the location.
Realizing it would need additional space for more product; county records from March reveal that Boston Beer purchased a 100,000 square foot facility from Dart Advantage Warehousing Inc., which is directly adjacent to the brewery.
This new building will provide supplemental storage and warehousing for the increased production of beer. Along with the increase brewing at the Upper Macungie operation, Boston Beer will add jobs to the site, also.

The confirmed items must be entered as being received. Any property not confirmed on the IOMS property list is to be managed in accordance with section 8.5 unclaimed property.
This process will only involve personal property valued at more than $100.00 that has previously been placed on the prisoner property records. Any item of personal property in the prisoner's possession that cannot be verified against the inventory must be confiscated and held separately in the store until ownership can be ascertained or until the Chief Executive or delegate determines its disposal.
Under no circumstances is a prisoner to be credited with or given personal property in circumstances where his/her ownership has not been recorded. Property must be added to the prisoner property records provided proof of ownership is demonstrated. It will only be confiscated in the absence of such proof of ownership.
A prisoner who cannot produce an item of personal property that has been authorised to be in his/her possession must be asked where the property is. If possible, the property is to be located and returned to the store immediately.
If that cannot be done, a notation describing the circumstances must be entered on the prisoner management system and an inventory printed out. This must be signed by the prisoner as a correct record of his/her property at the time of transfer.
Suitcases, cartons and other containers of a prisoner's personal property must be placed into transfer bags that are to be sealed with cable ties and labelled with the prisoner's name. Large single items such as guitars, computers and television sets need not be placed in transfer bags but must be labelled.

The duplicate copy must be given to the transporting officer and the original placed on the prisoner 's property file.
Transfer bags and single items are to be inspected by the prisoner to whom they belong before seals on the bags are cut. The receiving officer and prisoner are to sign the appropriate section of administrative form -Prisoner Personal Property Inventory Transfer Record to record the condition of the sealed bags and other property. All property must be checked against the entries in IOMS in the prisoner's presence. Any discrepancy must be noted on the inventory and the despatching facility notified immediately.
Following a transfer, receiving centres must follow up all items of property listed as "in transit". Where there is a failure to locate the property in a reasonable time frame the item should be listed as "missing". Information relating to the investigation undertaken to locate the property must be recorded.
On receipt of such notification the person responsible for despatching the property must investigate the matter and report the circumstances in writing to the person who reported the discrepancy at the receiving facility. Copies of the notification and reply must be placed on the prisoner's property file.
In situations when QCS does not have the capacity to transport personal property of a prisoner being transferred between facilities, consideration should be given to transporting the property by Queensland Rail.

Facilities receiving property transported by Queensland Rail must follow sections 7.5 and 7.6 of this procedure.
The facility receiving property transported by Queensland Rail must initiate any claim for compensation against Queensland Rail for property apparently lost or damaged during the transportation process.
If a prisoner's property must accompany his/her transfer into police custody, officers must ensure police are given a complete and accurate record of the prisoner's personal property.
Officers are to make two photocopies of the storage/issue record after the prisoner has signed the record as correct and after the record has been noted "Transferred Into Police Custody". The copies must clearly indicate all items of personal property that are to be handed to the escorting police officer.
The police officer taking custody of the prisoner must be given one copy of the record of personal property and asked to sign the second copy as a receipt for the property. This copy must be placed on the prisoner's personal property file.
The Chief Executive or delegate must ensure that officers are directed to receive all property accompanying a prisoner on transfer from police custody. Officers must, in company with the prisoner, arrange for the disposal of excess property in accordance with section 8 of this standard operating procedure.

Java DSLs
Java Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) are programming languages designed to solve a specific problem. Examples include UNIX shell scripts and ColdFusion Markup Language. Because Java DSLs are designed to solve specific problems, they often contain elements not found in general purpose languages though are often created with a general purpose language as a template. In this section on Java DSLs, find news and articles that explain how computing problems are being solved with DSLs and what problems could be solved with a newly created DSL. DSLs have a specific place in programming, and its important to know when they can be applied successfully.

DeKALB, Ill. - Off the heels of a stellar performance in a 3-1 win over Green Bay at home Tuesday, the Northern Illinois volleyball team heads Stockton, Calif., for Pacific's Community Bankers Classic this weekend. During their first West Coast trip since 1997, the Huskies (2-2) will face Nevada (1-2) at 7 PM CT Friday, and Portland State (1-2) at 12 PM and Pacific (3-0) at 9 PM Saturday.
How to Follow
Each match will feature live stats and live video for free on Pacific's Tournament Central webpage.
Gobbling Green Bay
After a successful NIU Invitational last weekend, the Huskies regrouped three days later to take down Green Bay at home in four sets. For the match, the Huskies owned advantages across the board - 57-38 in kills, .344-.146 in attack percentage, 51-35 in assists, 9-3 in aces, 59-47 in digs, and 12-6 in blocks. MacKenzie Roddy led the way with a career-high 19 kills and career-best three aces.
NIU Season Openers
With a 3-2 win over North Dakota State -- a 2011 NCAA Tournament team -- last Friday, NIU improved to 10-1 in season and home openers under Gooden. The Huskies won last year's opener at the NIU Invitational as well, taking down IUPUI in four sets on Aug. 26, 2011.
A Solid Start at the Annual NIU Invitational
Facing competition that has combined to go to the NCAA Tournament 14 times over the last nine years, the Huskies, who made their first NCAA Tournament last year since 2001, held their own at the annual NIU Invitational. The Huskies grinded out a five-set win over North Dakota State behind a 62-53 kills edge and an 88-74 advantage. NIU dropped a heartbreaking five-setter to Wichita State as the Huskies thought they had the match won 20-18 in the fifth set. However, a two-ball call from the down official was not seen by the up official on NIU's 20th point, and after the officials met, WSU was awarded the point. With the wind out of their sails the Huskies couldn't recover, but only an 83-71 digs advantage separated the teams. Barely two hours later, the Huskies took out their frustrations on New Mexico State for a dominant 25-14 first set win, but ran out of gas as the Aggies claimed a four-set win. NMSU won the tourney with a 3-0 record, WSU (1-2) took second, NIU finished third, and NDSU (0-3) was fourth.
Gonzalez, Schepler Earn NIU Invitational All-Tournament Honors
Both freshman setter Alexis Gonzalez and junior defensive specialist Justine Schepler were named to the NIU Invitational All-Tournament Team for their solid play last weekend. "Pookie" Gonzalez showed she could handle running the offense fresh out of high school, averaging 9.21 assists, 2.43 digs, 0.64 kills, 0.36 aces, and 0.36 blocks per set in her first three NIU matches. Schepler averaged a solid 2.93 digs per set and had only one reception error all weekend.
Scouting Nevada
Nevada is off to a 1-2 start following an appearance in last weekend's Baylor tournament. The Wolf Pack opened the season with a 3-2 win over Tulane before falling to Baylor and Texas A&M Corpus Christi, both in four sets. As a team, the Pack are netting 11.23 kills per set and hitting .156. Defensively, Nevada averages 13.38 and 2.58 blocks per set.
NIU and Nevada have met only one other time and the Huskies came out on top in four sets at the Cal State-Northridge Invitational on Oct. 30, 1992.
Scouting Portland State
Portland State has started the season 1-2 after last weekend's showing at Washington's Northwest Challenge. The Vikings fell in five sets to Gonzaga to start the season and bounced back to win a five-setter over Boise State before being swept by Washington. The Vikings are averaging 12.77 kills per set and hitting .203 as a team. PSU's defense has tallied 16.77 digs and 1.23 blocks per set.
NIU and Portland State have never played each other.
Scouting Pacific
Pacific has opened with a perfect 3-0 record after winning last weekend's Idaho Nike Invitational. The Tigers took down host Idaho in the first match of 2012 in five sets, swept Washington State and pulled out another five-setter over Montana. Pacific has totaled 12.46 kills per set and hit .190, while netting 19.00 digs and 2.08 blocks per set.
NIU and Pacific have met just once before and the Tigers won 3-0 in Stockton, Calif., on September 6, 1984.
The 2012 Huskies - Who's Back and Who's New
The last two seasons have seemingly brought NIU Volleyball back to the "glory days" of the 1990s dominant decade (24.5 wins per year, 7 1st place conference finishes, 3 NCAA Tournaments) as the Huskies' 55 wins over the last two seasons were last matched in 1992-93 (62 wins).
With the first Mid-American Conference regular season championship and NCAA Tournament appearance since 2001 last season, 11th-year NIU Head Coach Ray Gooden (185 wins rank 2nd at NIU) and his two new assistants Lynnette Moster and Joe Julkowski will look to keep the upward trend of the program growing while defending its MAC crown and looking to go even further into the postseason.
Who's Back - Three starters - middle blockers Sarah Angelos (Jr.) and Mary Kurisch (Sr.) and defensive specialist Justine Schepler (Jr.) - and libero Amber Walker (Sr.). Angelos and Kurisch were both All-MAC selections in 2011. Also returning are defensive specialist Sue Hayes (Sr.), middle blockers Sam Grams (Sr.) and Emily Paschke (So.), outside hitters Tori Halbur (Jr.), MacKenzie Roddy (So.) and Meghan Romo (Sr.), and setter Kayla Zeno (Jr.). Overall, the Huskies have 71 percent of their blocks, 51 percent of their digs and 43 percent of their kills back.
Who's New - Setter Alexis "Pookie" Gonzalez (Fresno, Calif./Bullard), a 5'9" freshman who earned all-conference honors in her final three prep seasons, and middle blocker Lauren Zielinski (Oak Forest, Ill./Marist), a 6'4" freshman who was a two-time all-conference performer before missing her senior season due to a torn right labrum, and is the tallest Huskie since Kori Schauer (1990-93), who was also listed at 6'4".
Kurisch Named to Preseason All-MAC Team
Voted on by the MAC coaches, senior Mary Kurisch was selected to the 2012 Preseason All-MAC Team on Aug. 22. Starting all 35 matches last season, she was a first team All-MAC and honorable mention Academic All-MAC selection as she set career marks for points (378.5), total blocks (109), digs (80), solo blocks (34), and aces (22). She tallied a hitting percentage of .321 to finish second on team and sixth in the MAC, while compiling 20 matches with 10 or more points for the second straight season. Kurisch enters her final season in a Huskie uniform ranking fourth on the all-time NIU career attack percentage list (.303), 14th in total blocks (288), and 17th in blocks per set (0.81). She has 732 career kills (2.05 per set) and has a chance to become NIU's 19th member of the 1,000 Kill Club as she has tallied over 280 kills in each of the last two seasons.
MAC Coaches Pick NIU to Finish 4th in West
Voted on by the MAC coaches, the Huskies were picked to finish fourth in the MAC West Division. NIU was the league's pick to win the regular season and tournament prior to the 2011 season. This year's favorite in the West and overall is Western Michigan.
Gooden Plenty
Entering his 11th season as NIU head coach, 2011 and 2006 MAC Coach of the Year Ray Gooden is coming off his most successful season as he earned his first regular season MAC championship and NCAA appearance at NIU. The program's second all-time wins leader owns a respectable 186-138 record at NIU, including a 113-91 mark in MAC play and an impressive 115-56 tally at home.
Gooden is in the process of leaving an indelible mark on the program as the top three place holders in kills, kills per set, attack attempts and points all played under Gooden, as well as the top two holders in digs and digs per set.
Additionally, Gooden has coached 22 All-MAC, 16 Academic All-MAC, five MAC All-Freshman and five MAC Player of the Year selections, along with the only seven All-American selections in program history. Five players have also reached the 1,000-kill plateau under Gooden.

NIU is in the midst of a 14-match road trip over a span of just 23 days. Representing 42 percent of the schedule, the excursion continues Tuesday, Sept. 4, in Chicago as the Huskies will face Illinois Chicago at 7 PM.

Hi. Welcome to my page. Sit down. Relax. Let me get you something to drink and lets get to know each other. Shall I start?
-I am an active person who has a hard time doing nothing. My career keeps me on the go so I appreciate being home.
-I have three kids who keep me pretty busy. Each of my children is very loving and affectionate. They do have a dad but could use a good role model. Family does and always will come first for me.
-I am not a Utah Mormon. I have lived many places in my life. I appreciate the experiences and the cultures I have been exposed to. I am also not tied down to living in Utah. I have no problem dating long distance.
-I have an old soul. I've found that older men, not too old, fit my personality. I'm still young at heart and love to laugh and play but wisdom and understanding and the old fashionedness of an older guy is appealing. Don't get scared. I don't need an older guy. Just a wise one. ;)
-I have high standards and want someone who does as well. At the same time, I'm not perfect. Just striving to be.
-I spend a lot of time out in my yard. It is great for me and is my way of expressing myself. My yard is my canvas.
- I don't play games and will be straight forward.
-I have many talents which I will share later.
I think I've said enough to put the ball in your court. So, tell me about you

Teardrops and RaindropsTears fall downTeardrops and Raindrops by artist-inspired-66
With the sound of the rain
In this life
They both seem the same
Can't forget
The sight of the sky
With those teary raindrops
They're bout to cry
Stormy and cold
So bittersweet
With all of the raindrops
Falling at my feet
And when the sky lightens
And comes to be blue
There will be rainbows
And leaves that have dew
But when again the sky darkens
And new lightning strikes
Tears will come with this
Overcasting light
So as tears fall down
With the sound of the rain
We know in this life
That they are the same

Some other things I've learned are 1) All the local knowledge in the world won't help when you've torn off your derailleur. 2) There's nothing like a noisy crowd to help you find that extra gear! And 3) it may be tiring, expensive and time consuming, but there's still nothing I'd rather be doing with my weekends.
Some personal Highlights of the season for me were the Coronet Peak course – A track so fun I couldn't wipe the stupid grin off my face for the whole race… or for a long time afterwards!
The humbling feeling I got in Dunedin when I realised there was nothing left to do but laugh as slipped and slid down the mud with my ruined rear mech stuffed in my back pocket.
And then there were the National Champs – I attribute my performance to Stu Thorpe and his rowdy mates at the top of that hill – their infectious enthusiasm was such great motivation, I looked forwards to that uphill as much as the downhill that followed it!
Finding my rhythm on my home trails in Rotorua with my mum, dad, uncle and a bunch of mates to cheer me on.
And finally Wellington, where Robyn Wong was actually cheering me on – How crazy is that?!
It's 9 months of preparation and anticipation, 10 hours of pain and exhaustion (spread over about 2 months of convenient 2 hour blocks), and about a months worth of recovery… Put like that, it almost sounds like childbirth. Especially when you consider your trusty steed, that no doubt now needs love and attention lavished on it to nurse it back to slick working order.
It's been a challenge, a pretty massive learning curve and it's certainly been rewarding. And, I know I've still got a few more things to learn. But there's always next season!

I first heard of Dr.Desmond Clark's
work way back when I was a fascinated teenager and he a young(ish)
man. I have been proud to be one of the vast group of humans who
follow his work and the work of other searchers for human origins,
ever since. Dr Clark was one of the Greats in our search to know
where and how humans will end up in the evolutionary story. We will
all mourn him.

Clare emailed to say that she works at an IT job in two different cities, and therefore has to lug around a heavy laptop all the livelong day. She asked us to find a bag that would a) fit a 14" laptop plus power cord & mouse, and some spare flats for when her feet can't take no more high heels, b) be stylish, c) not have wheels, and d) be under $100. Well... that's a tall order. Hope one or all of these will be right up your alley, Clare!
This Diane von Furstenberg Color on the Go Laptop Tote ($50 on sale, #1 in photo) has both a shoulder strap and handles, and a cute microfiber blue fabric with a DDF logo print.
A Paulina Carcach Calfskin Leather Shoulder & Satchel Bag ($139, #2) would be a bit over the price limit, true, but it's handmade and gor-ge-ous, with plenty of pockets and straps and cargo space. WANT.
More classic and timeless than super trendy, this Franklin Covey Women's Leather 14.1" Laptop Tote ($70 #3) holds, duh, up to a 14.1" laptop and features a padded computer pocket and extra room for accessories and whatever else you're hauling.
Finally, why not try a Kerri Mack Bernice Women's Laptop Bag ($100, #4)? Kerri Mack bags can be expensive, but this one is nearly 50% off, and will easily fit your 14" laptop. Comes with a detachable shoulder strap.
Frustrated in your search for that perfect leather handbag, red stiletto pump, or whatever makes your heart go thump in the night? Send us a request and we might do the shopping work for you in a future Personal Shopper feature!
Help! I love the Paulina bag but the link tells me the item doesn't exist!
Hi Lisa -
It must've sold, but never fear! Paulina has LOTS more great bags in her Etsy store, here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/paulinacarcach
Thanks for letting us know!
I love #1 and #4 so much I might just have to buy both. So much for my budget!
Your laptop bags seems very good. But I didn't find the bag which fit for me. I am a student. And your bag is so ripe. If you have other color laptop bags like this one: http://www.uxsight.com/product/36453/sky-blue-portable-laptop-notebook-shoulder-handbag-case-holder.html ? I like pink very much. Can you help me?
