UCLA Hosts Oregon Schools
The second-ranked UCLA women's soccer team (14-1-2 overall, 6-0-2 in the Pac-12) will host Oregon State (5-10-2, 3-4-1) and Oregon (4-9-3, 2-5-1) for a pair of conference matches. The Pac-12-leading Bruins will first face Oregon State on Friday at 7 pm before playing Oregon on Sunday at 1 pm. Sunday's match will be televised live on Pac-12 Los Angeles.
Conference Title Within Reach
UCLA is within a win and a tie of its 11th Pac-12 title. Two wins this weekend would wrap up the outright title for the Bruins, while a win and a tie would ensure at least a share of the title. The Bruins were picked by the conference coaches to win the Pac-12.
UCLA's previous conference titles were won in 1995, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
In the Rankings
For the fourth-straight week, UCLA remained ranked No. 2 in the NSCAA, Soccer America and Top Drawer Soccer rankings. The Bruins have been ranked in the NSCAA's Top 5 all season.
Leaders of the Pac
UCLA holds a five-point lead in the Pac-12 standings with 20 total points and a 6-0-2 record. Stanford is in second place with 15 points (5-3-0), followed by Utah with 14 points (4-2-2).
Scouting the Beavers
Oregon State has won four of its last five matches, including a 1-0 victory over No. 21 California. The Beavers are led by Erin Uchacz, who has eight points (3g, 2a), and Jenna Richardson, who has six points (3g).
The Bruins are 15-3 all-time against Oregon State and have won the last two matches, including a 4-1 win in Corvallis a year ago that saw Zakiya Bywaters score two goals, with Sarah Killion and Taylor Smith each tallying one. Oregon State's last victory came in 2010, a 3-0 home win.
Scouting the Ducks
Oregon enters the week having lost five of its last six games. The Ducks are led by ShayLee Miner, who has seven points (3g, 1a). First-year head coach Kat Mertz was a former UCLA assistant coach, spending 2000-04 in Westwood and helping lead the team to the College Cup in 2000, 2003 and 2004.
UCLA leads the overall series with Oregon, 14-2, and has won the last six meetings. Last year's game in Eugene was decided by a 1-0 margin, with Taylor Smith scoring the game's lone goal, assisted by Sam Mewis. Oregon's last win in the series came in 2006, 2-1 in overtime in Eugene.
Last Week
UCLA tied Utah, 1-1, and defeated Colorado, 1-0, in the team's final road matches of the regular season. The Bruins fell behind early against the Utes but quickly answered back with the tying goal from Taylor Smith. In the Colorado game, Kodi Lavrusky came off the bench to score the game's only goal in the 56th minute.
Follow the Leader
UCLA has trailed in just three games this season, for a total of 20 minutes. Marquette was the first team to grab a lead on the Bruins this year, scoring in the first minute, but the Bruins tied three and a half minutes later. North Carolina handed UCLA its only loss of the year, scoring the only goal of the game in the 79th minute back on Sept. 6. Utah became the first Pac-12 team to take a lead on UCLA, holding a 1-0 lead for five minutes before the Bruins tied it up.
Fast Starts
Scoring early has been a trend for the Bruins in 2013. Eight of UCLA's 31 goals this year have come in the first 10 minutes of the game, including four in the first five minutes (Northeastern - 2:42, Cal State Northridge - 2:15, Marquette - 4:27, Arizona - 4:45).
Defensive Leaders
UCLA ranks second in the nation in goals against average with a GAA of 0.34 and has allowed just six goals all season and never more than one goal in a single game. The Bruins also rank fifth nationally in save percentage (.891) and tied for 10th in shutout percentage (.647). Bruin goalkeeper Katelyn Rowland has been virutally unstoppable in 2013, allowing just six goals, one of which was on a penalty kick. Her goals against average of 0.35 ranks third in the nation, and her .891 save percentage ranks sixth. With 29 career shutouts, Rowland is third on UCLA's all-time list. She also ranks fourth on the career wins list with 44.
May We Assist You?
Taylor Smith, Sarah Killion and Caprice Dydasco are accounting for 55% of UCLA's assists this year. Killion is tied for the Pac-12 lead with eight, while Smith is tied for third with seven. Dydasco is close behind with five assists, tied for 10th-best in the conference. UCLA leads the Pac-12 in assists with 36.
Jenkins Continues to Leads Offense
Freshman Darian Jenkins has a goal in nine of the Bruins' 17 games and leads UCLA in scoring with nine goals, 21 points and four game-winning goals. She ranks tied for second in the Pac-12 in game-winning goals and is fourth in goals scored and fifth in points. Jenkins scored a goal in UCLA's first four games, which was the longest goal-scoring streak by a Bruin since Lauren Cheney scored in six consecutive games from Oct. 14-Nov. 4, 2007.
Veteran Group Leads Bruins
UCLA's upperclassmen are about as experienced a group as you can get, with a combined total of 665 games played and 476 games started between the 15 of them. Senior Jenna Richmond leads all current Bruins with 82 games played and 81 starts.
Three Freshmen Ranked
Three Bruin freshmen are ranked in the Top 50 in Top Drawer Soccer's Freshmen Top 100 list: No. 3 Darian Jenkins, No. 7 Gabbi Miranda and No. 45 Lauren Kaskie. Jenkins ranks first among freshmen in the Pac-12 in goals scored with nine. Like Jenkins, Miranda has started all 17 games for UCLA with one goal and two assists. Kaskie has played in all 17 games with one start and had the game-winner in double overtime at Stanford.
Dahlkemper on Watch List
Junior defender Abby Dahlkemper has been selected to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List for the second consecutive season. Dahlkemper earned NSCAA second-team All-America and first-team All-Pacific Region honors in 2012 after leading UCLA's defense to a Pac-12 leading 14 shutouts and a team goals against average of just 0.55. Dahlkemper was a starter in all 23 of UCLA's games and ranked second on the team in minutes played, seeing a total of 2,016 of a possible 2,120 minutes. She also contributed offensively, recording three goals, including game-winners against UMass and Fresno State, and added three assists. She was twice named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week (Aug. 20-27 and Oct. 1-7) and was also selected to the Soccer America Team of the Week for Aug. 20-27. This season, Dahlkemper has led UCLA to a team goals against average of 0.34 (ranked second in the nation) and also has a goal and an assist.
Get Mew's Views
Junior midfielder Sam Mewis is penning a blog for UCLABruins.com. Get her inside stories about the 2013 Bruins every Thursday.
UCLA Head Coach Amanda Cromwell
Head coach Amanda Cromwell has opened her tenure as UCLA head coach with 11 shutouts and 14 victories in 17 games. Cromwell, the fifth head coach in UCLA women's soccer history, came to the Bruins after 14 years in the same position at the University of Central Florida. From 1999-2012, she guided the Knights to a 203-83-26 record, 11 NCAA Tournament appearances, four Atlantic Sun Tournament championships, four Conference USA regular-season titles and the 2012 C-USA tournament title. Cromwell's Knights made a NCAA Elite Eight run in 2011 that included a defeat of North Carolina in the third round.
With 224 career victories and a .681 winning percentage at the close of the 2012 season, Cromwell currently ranks among the top-25 winningest active coaches and the top-30 all-time winningest coaches in NCAA history.

Water in the West is a precious commodity. It may come as a surprise that, on average, more than half of residential water use in this region goes to outdoor irrigation—our lawns, plants, and landscapes. In some desert cities, outdoor water use during the warm summer months accounts for more than 70 percent of home water consumption. Using a common-sense approach, homeowners can now lower their water and energy bills, spend less time irrigating and caring for plants, increase the beauty, value, and livability of their homes, and do this all while conserving the West's most valuable resource—water. Lush Low-Water Plants & Landscapes provides the information—and inspiration—to accomplish these goals. It is written primarily for homeowners and gardeners in the dry West—Arizona, California, southern Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, most regions of Texas, and southern Utah, although the principles of wise water use apply anywhere on the globe. Hundreds of large color photographs and clearly written descriptions show and tell readers how to choose the very best plants for their unique situation and combine them to create beautiful low-water landscapes.

Hungry AND want to support a good cause? On April 29, Share Our Strength will put on its 26th annual Taste of the Nation event at Cruiseport Boston, featuring over 60 of Boston's top chefs, including Honorary Chefs Jody Adams, Joanne Chang, Gordon Hamersley, Andy Husbands and Tony Maws, in order to raise money to help end childhood hunger.
In Massachusetts, 17 percent of kids struggle with hunger. There are 288,000 low-income children who receive free or reduced-price school lunch. Only 43 percent of children eating free or reduced-price school lunch are getting school breakfast. Only 18 percent of children eating free or reduced-price school lunch are getting summer meals.
Each year, Taste of the Nation brings together cooks from around America to help raise awareness and money to help our most vulnerable...America's hungry children," said Chef Gordon Hamersley, who has been involved with this charity since the beginning.
What draws him to the event, he said, is "the basic philosophy that centers around the concept that everyone, no matter whether you are rich or poor, educated or not, busy or bored can help contribute to the issue of solving the problem of childhood hunger in this country. Sharing what you have. Through the efforts of the multi-talented many, much can be accomplished. It is powerful and humbling to know that so many are doing the same thing throughout the country."
"Being a chef, and having the privilege of working with an abundance of food at my fingertips makes helping to solve childhood hunger a compelling inspiration."
What's also compelling is what he's making for the event: charred calamari with a spring salad and Moroccan-spiced vinaigrette. It's an example of a simple yet flavorful meal that, as Gordon and other chefs like to point out, is an example of how to eat well with relatively inexpensive ingredients.
For families looking to stretch their grocery dollars, Gordon offers a few tips. "Buy your food in season and cook it simply," said Gordon. "Try to use all the leftovers. I like to use lots of eggs — the perfect food — and there are at least one zillion recipes for eggs out there."
Last year, the event raised over $95,000 in the fight to end childhood hunger as 100% of ticket sales support No Kid Hungry's efforts.

NEW YORK (AP) Ś The legal challenges over religious freedom and the birth control coverage requirement in President Barack ObamaÆs health care overhaul appear to be moving toward the U.S. Supreme Court.
Faith-affiliated charities, hospitals and universities have filed dozens of lawsuits against the mandate, which requires employers to provide insurance that covers contraception for free. However, many for-profit business owners are also suing, claiming a violation of their religious beliefs.
The religious lawsuits have largely stalled, as the Department of Health and Human Services tries to develop an accommodation for faith groups. However, no such offer will be made to individual business owners. And their lawsuits are yielding conflicting rulings in appeals courts around the country.
ōThe circuits have split. YouÆre getting different, conflicting interpretations of law, so the line of cases will have to go to the Supreme Court, `Æ said Carl Esbeck, a professor at the University of Missouri Law School who specializes in religious liberty issues.
Last year, the Supreme Court ruled that ObamaÆs fiercely contested health care overhaul, known as the Affordable Care Act, was constitutional. But differences over the birth control provision in the law have yet to be resolved.
Under the requirement, most employers, including faith-affiliated hospitals and nonprofits, have to provide health insurance that includes artificial contraception, including sterilization, as a free preventive service. The goal, in part, is to help women space pregnancies as a way to promote health.
Religious groups who employ and serve people of their own faith Ś such as churches Ś are exempt. But other religiously affiliated groups, such as Catholic Charities, must comply.
Roman Catholic bishops, evangelicals and some religious leaders who have generally been supportive of ObamaÆs policies have lobbied fiercely for a broader exemption. The Catholic Church prohibits the use of artificial contraception. Evangelicals generally permit the use of birth control, but they object to specific methods such as the morning-after contraceptive pill, which they argue is tantamount to abortion.
Obama promised to change the birth control requirement so insurance companies and not faith-affiliated employers would pay for the coverage, but religious leaders said more changes were needed to make the plan work.
The Health and Human Services Department said it could not comment on litigation. A spokeswoman also did not respond to a question about when the latest revisions in the birth control rule would be made public.
However, government attorneys responding to a lawsuit said an announcement was expected by the end of March. In the suit filed by the evangelical Wheaton College in Illinois and Catholic Belmont Abbey in North Carolina, the court ordered government attorneys to provide a progress report on the new rule every 60 days. Whatever its final form, the mandate will take effect for religious groups in August.
At the center of the cases is the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the 1993 law that bars the government from imposing a substantial burden on the exercise of religion for anything other than a compelling government interest pursued in the least restrictive way. The question of how or whether these criteria apply when owners of for-profit businesses have a religious objection to a government policy hasnÆt been fully tested.
ōItÆs more natural for people to say Notre Dame exercises religion, but when you say this power tool company exercises religion, you have to explain it little more, I think the claims are really the same,ö said Kyle Duncan, general counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which represents many of the plaintiffs.
Brigitte Amiri, senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union, argued the business owners are trying to use a religious liberty claim to deny benefits to someone else.
ōWe donÆt think that religious liberty claims can be used as a way to discriminate against women employees Ś using those claims to take away someone elseÆs benefits and services,ö Amiri said.
In the lawsuits from faith-affiliated groups, such as the University of Notre Dame, judges around the country have generally said it would be premature to decide the legal issues until the federal rule for religiously affiliated organizations is finalized.
In the cases involving business owners, judges have granted temporary injunctions to businesses in nine of 14 cases theyÆve heard, while questions about for-profit employers and religious rights are decided, according to a tally by the Becket Fund.
In a case brought by Cyril and Jane Korte, Catholic owners of Korte & Luitjohan Contractors in Illinois, a three-judge panel granted a temporary injunction, ruling 2-1 that providing employees insurance coverage that includes birth control would violate the KortesÆ faith.
ōIt is a family-run business, and they manage the company in accordance with their religious beliefs,ö the judges wrote.
The dissenting judge argued that the company will not be paying directly for contraception but instead will purchase insurance that covers a wide range of health care that could include birth control, if the woman decides with her physician that she needs it.
ōWhat the Kortes wish to do is to preemptively declare that their company need not pay for insurance which covers particular types of medical care to which they object,ö the dissenting judge wrote.
Similar reasoning was used by courts denying an injunction requested by the arts and crafts chain Hobby Lobby and religious book-seller Mardel Inc., which are owned by the same evangelical family. Oklahoma-based Hobby Lobby calls itself a ōbiblically founded businessö and is closed on Sundays.
The U.S. district judge who first considered the request said, ōHobby Lobby and Mardel are not religious organizations.ö
ōPlaintiffs have not cited, and the court has not found, any case concluding that secular, for-profit corporations such as Hobby Lobby and Mardel have a constitutional right to the free exercise of religion,ö the ruling said.

Kansas City Life
Our "City of Fountains" is also known as the "Heart of America." With a population of over 2 million people, Kansas City offers all the advantages inherent to a major metropolitan area. Sprawling across the border of Kansas and Missouri, the personalities and heritage of both states are evident.
Among the many cultural attractions, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra are favorites. The city is also home to many theatre and music venues catering to several genres. A wide ethnic diversity creates a unique culinary culture as well, but the reigning king is our very own Kansas City Barbeque!
Sports are also a big part of Kansas City, and "the metro" is home to the Royals (MLB), Chiefs (NFL), Sporting Kansas City (MLS), T-Bones (minor league baseball) and the Missouri Mavericks (minor league hockey). The Kansas Speedway is host to various races including both NASCAR and IRL events and the downtown Sprint Center houses the College basketball hall of Fame.

College Hockey:2008-09 Hobart Season Preview
When you think of Hobart hockey players, two factors usually come to mind: character and role players. Statesmen head coach Mark Taylor is known for recruiting players that are good, all-around kids that each fits a specific place in the puzzle.
Shawn Houde, who graduated from Hobart last spring, was perhaps the epitome of the Hobart hockey player both on and off the ice. Replacing Houde will not be easy for coach Taylor this season.
Shawn Houde is a big loss in the sense that he was the first sole captain Ive had here during my time, said Taylor. He was a complete player on the ice in terms of being a power play guy, a shorthanded goal guy, and used in every situation. He was a lot of the glue off the ice too. He is a big loss from that side.
The part Ive been grateful for is Ive had great leadership year after year, continued Taylor. There is always someone stepping in from one year to the next to really run the show. Im confident hes handed that off to someone else.
Coach Taylor is back to having a pair of captains this year with Ryan Adler and Andy Brennan.
Inside the Statesmen zone, defense and goaltending are not a worry for Hobart this year. The Statesmen return their entire corps of defensemen which were third in the league last year in team defense. Also returning in senior goaltender Keith Longo, who will see the majority of time in net.
Hobart brought in a pair of freshmen goaltenders to spell Longo when needed throughout the season.
Keith Longo is the guy coming back, said Taylor. It is everyones expectations that Longo is going to be the guy. Weve got Terje Larsson from Sweden and Colin Saltiel as freshmen goaltenders who are going to have to prove that they can get it done this year, challenge and spot Keith in any way. At least we need someone to spot him so he stays fresh and they will have the opportunity to prove that they are ready to take over that spot that has been a real plus for us.
The largest number of changes come up front this season, as four freshmen forwards with a decidedly ethnic flare join the ranks of the Statesmen. Greg Ciciola, Anthony Scarpino, Rick Longobardi, and Nick Stefinelli all join Hobart this year.
Everybodys laughing because it is Little Italy, said coach Taylor. I went over to Italy with my family on vacation but some guys were joking that I was recruiting over there. The freshmen guys are looking good. I think we have a pretty balanced group up front.
After making it back to the NCAA tournament last season, Hobart is looking to build on its success this coming year.
To do all the things weve been known to do is always a challenge, said Taylor. We play a very workman type game, attention to detail, and all those things you have to do. Even if you are a talented team, that is always your biggest challenge.
To do all the little things you have to do to have success that separate the winning and losing the tight game. Last year was our most consistent year, not just having a good year but in the sense that I didnt grade any game less than a B- as a team. That is a nice feeling and the goal. What got us in the NCAA was how consistent we were all year.

Graduate Policies
Grading Policies
Graduate courses are graded as follows:
|Grade Points/Description
|Failure: no credit earned. A student earning an "F" grade may not repeat the course for which the "F" was received without the approval of the Program Director.
|Incomplete: a temporary grade given only when extenuating circumstances prevent completion of all course work on time.
|Incomplete in Process: a temporary grade given when a practicum, research project, and/or thesis work has not been completed on time.
|Pass: a mark used to show satisfactory performance.
|Withdraw: A non-punitive grade which will be entered on the permanent record if a student withdraws from a class within the published withdrawal period.
The cumulative grade point average is calculated by dividing cumulative grade points by cumulative hours graded.
Academic Standing/Probation
A student is required to achieve a minimum grade point average of 3.00. A student whose cumulative grade point average falls below 3.00 will be placed on probation, and the student will have two enrolled terms to remove that status. If the student fails to earn a minimum grade point average of 3.00 within that time, the student will be dismissed from the program.
Only two "C" grades (C+, C or C-) are permitted in the graduate program. A third grade of "C+" or below will result in academic dismissal from the program. No course with a grade of "C-" or below will count toward a graduate degree. Any grade of "F" may be cause for dismissal from the program. A second "C+" or below in a repeated course may be cause for dismissal from the program. Dismissals may be appealed through the appeal process.
Departments can identify courses in which a "B" is the minimum grade required. Students must earn at least a "B" average for an endorsement to be granted in the Education program.
Incomplete Grades
The incomplete (I) is a temporary grade given only when extenuating circumstances prevent completion of all course work on time. To remove an incomplete grade, a student must complete all required work in the course no later than 30 days from the close of the term. Failure to do so automatically results in failure in the course. Extensions may be given by the course instructor. An Incomplete in Process is given for practicum or thesis work that has not been completed by the end of the semester. The Incomplete in Process must be completed within six months of the close of the term in which it was given.
Repeating Courses
A student receiving a "C+", "C" or "C-" may repeat a graduate course once. For the MSN program, a maximum of one course may be repeated. For the MBA, MSL, MFT, Criminal Justice and Education program, a maximum of two different courses in a student's degree program may be repeated. Both the original course and the repeated course remain on the transcript. The cumulative grade point average will include only the second grade.
Academic Policies
Add/Drop and Tuition Refund Policy
The block calendar add/drop dates are located in the "Block Academic Calendar" section of this Catalog. Students enrolled in these programs must drop a course prior to class beginning in order to avoid being charged for the class. If the course is dropped on or after the start of the block, but prior to the second day of class, the student will receive a grade of "W" on the academic transcript reflecting the withdrawal but will not be charged. Students dropping the course during the second day of class or thereafter, will be charged 100% of the tuition. Students who never show up to a class but do not drop the course will receive a grade of "NA" and will be charged 100% of the tuition for the course.
After conclusion of the add/drop or withdrawal period, all change requests must be approved by the Program Director. Late adds and drops are limited to unusual circumstances that must be documented in writing.
If a student wishes to withdraw from a graduate course, they must do so by the fourth Sunday (11:59pm CST) of a five week block, or the ninth Sunday (11:59pm CST) of a ten week block to receive a "W". Students who do not withdraw from a course by these deadlines will receive a letter grade for the course.
Attendance requirements in graduate courses are established by programs and individual instructors. Attendance policies are stated in each course syllabus. Official attendance will be taken on the first day of class for classes in the block schedule and twice during the official semester for purposes of validating class rosters and meeting Federal regulations.
Continuous Enrollment
Students do not have to be contiguously enrolled in graduate classes and may take one semester off at anytime. However, students must be enrolled in classes for the following semester or the student will need to complete a leave of absence request or withdraw from the program. Students should be aware there may be financial aid implications of not being contiguously enrolled in classes and should consult with the Student Financial Services Office. All students must complete the program within six years unless arrangements have been made with the Program Director.
NOTE: To complete the MSN program students must be enrolled in summer courses.
Dismissal from Mount Mercy
In order to safeguard its scholastic integrity and its moral atmosphere, Mount Mercy reserves the right to remove and/or suspend any student who violates the stated policies for behavior and academic integrity outlined in the Good Book.
Full-Time Status
Students enrolled in at least 6 credit hours per semester will be considered full-time. A student has to be enrolled in at least 3 credit hours per semester to be considered part-time.
Leave of Absence
Students desiring a Leave of Absence must meet with the Program Director to complete the appropriate paperwork. If the leave is granted, the student must return to Mount Mercy within one year. Students who do not return at the end of the leave will be withdrawn from the program. An exception to this time period will be made for students called to active duty in the military. Students are required to provide proof of deployment prior to being deployed. A Leave of Absence will only be granted if the student has no course work in process.
Second Master's Degree
A student may pursue a second Master's Degree at Mount Mercy. A maximum of 18 credits from the initial Mount Mercy degree may be accepted toward the second Mount Mercy degree. A maximum of 9 credits from a transfer degree may be accepted toward a second Mount Mercy degree.
At least 18 hours must be earned at Mount Mercy beyond the initial degree. At least 12 of the 18 additional hours must be earned after graduation from the initial Master's Degree program. Only courses for which the student received a grade of "B" or above will double count towards the second master's degree.
Statute of Limitations
Students enrolled in a graduate program must complete all degree requirements no later than six years after the date of first enrollment in the program. A student may petition the Associate Provost for an extension for a limited period if such extension is sought before the six-year limit expires.
Independent Study (IS)
Independent study courses, which are specially designed by the student and the instructor, are listed under course numbers identified by each program and are subject to the following regulations:
- Not more than 2 courses may be taken independently.
- Independent study credit is not given for a paid job.
- The application form, which can be obtained from the Advisor or Instructor, must fully describe the rationale and objectives of the course, the content and sources from which the content is to be obtained, methods and activities to be used, evaluation procedure, and any pertinent deadlines to be met by the student. The form is to be completed by the student in conference with the instructor who has agreed to direct the study.
- The student discusses the course with their advisor who arranges for the additional approvals from the Program Director and Associate Provost.
- The application form with all the necessary signatures must be delivered to the Registrar's Office in order for the registration to be completed.
- Faculty members are not required to direct an independent study.
Directed Study (DS)
A Directed Studies course is an individualized delivery of an existing course found in the Catalog and is only offered in exceptional circumstances. Course outcomes and objectives for the DS course are the same as if the course was being taken in the normal, classroom delivery mode. Contact the Program Director for the approval form prior to registering for the class.
Thesis Continuation
Master of Arts in Education
Master of Arts in Education students may elect to complete an education thesis in order to graduate. After finishing the action research class, students must continuously enroll in a 1-3 credit Education Thesis (ED 602 Education Thesis) course until the thesis receives final approval from the student's thesis committee. Students will receive 3 credit hours the first semester registered for the course and 1 credit hour each semester after that (Fall, Spring, and Summer) until the student is finished. A continuation fee, equivalent to one credit hour, will be assessed for every semester the student is enrolled in ED 602 Education Thesis. An incomplete will be given in Education Thesis until the final thesis is approved by the committee. Upon approval of the thesis, the grade will be changed to a Pass. If a student does not enroll in Education Thesis once the project has begun, the incomplete grade will turn to a Fail (F).
Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy
MFT students may elect to complete a thesis in order to graduate. Students must continuously enroll in a 1-3 credit MFT Thesis (MF 695 Thesis) course until the thesis receives final approval from the student's thesis committee. Students will receive 3 credit hours the first semester registered for the course (course should be taken during the Spring semester of the second year) and 1 credit hour each semester after that (Fall, Spring, and Summer) until the student is finished. A continuation fee, equivalent to one credit hour, will be assessed for every semester the student is enrolled in MF 695 Thesis. An incomplete will be given in MFT Thesis until the final thesis is approved by the committee. Upon approval of the thesis, the grade will be changed to a Pass.

In such cases, the student will need to complete the elective that was forgone in favor of the thesis option. Once the elective course has been completed the student will become eligible for graduation, assuming that all other course work has been completed satisfactorily.If a student does not enroll in MFT Thesis or complete additional coursework, the incomplete grade will turn to a Fail (F).
Graduation Requirements
In order to be eligible to graduate, a student must meet the following requirements:
- Minimum GPA of 3.0
- Complete all course work with no incompletes
- Meet all program specific requirements
- Apply for graduation

It's official! "Supernatural" has been renewed for a tenth season. In an announcement made Thursday, February 13, 2014, CW president Mark Pedowitz gave the series the green light for another season stating, "This season we've had great success with our new hit series 'The Originals' paired with 'Supernatural,' giving us our best Tuesday nights in years."
He's not exaggerating. A recent episode, entitled 'First Born,' scored the highest ratings for the series since 2010. Subsequent episodes of "Supernatural" have also gone on to gather excellent numbers.
CW president Mark Pedowitz has indicated that he would love to see the series continue for many seasons. During the network's TCA tour in January of this year, Pedowitz stated that, as long as the ratings remain where they are and both stars of the series agree, he sees no reason why the series wouldn't progress into a tenth season and beyond.
"Supernatural," which premiered in 2005, focuses on two brothers (played by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) who travel across the United States in their Impala hunting for all things supernatural. The series has performed so well that it's spawning its own spin off, "Supernatural: Tribes" which is set to premiere later this season as an embedded pilot.
So what would you like to see next season? What character(s) is/are your favorite(s)? Sound off below with your comments.
"Supernatural" airs Tuesdays at 9 EST/8 CST on the CW Network.

|Vandals win in five set thriller
MOSCOW - The Idaho volleyball team was down several times, but never out, and in the end, the Vandals battled to a thrilling five-set victory over Washington State to wrap up the Idaho Volleyball Invitational on Saturday night.
Idaho won the match 25-19, 21-25, 20-25, 28-26 and 15-13 to improve to 2-1 in 2012, while Washington State fell to 1-2.
The Vandals faced match point twice in the fourth set, trailing 25-24 and 26-25 before clawing back to win 28-26 to force a decisive fifth set. There, the Vandals trailed 8-6 before rattling off four straight points to pull ahead 10-8. The Vandals went ahead 14-11 before clinching the 15-13 match-clinching win.
"I told them after the game that I'm so proud of what they were able to do tonight," Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan said. "We didn't give up. A few years ago we would have rolled. They didn't give up, they fought. We were down in game five and they came back and rallied. They have that belief which is good, now we just have to work on the skill side to go along with that."
Idaho junior Allison (Walker) Baker and sophomore Alyssa Schultz earned all-tournament team honors for their efforts, and Idaho, going 2-1 in the event, earned a second-place finish. Baker finished Saturday's match against WSU with 28 kills and 14 digs, her third double-double of the tournament, while hitting .284 with five total blocks. Schultz had 11 kills and six blocks against the Cougars and hit .321.
"They deserved it," Buchanan said of the all-tournament honors. "Allison struggled a little bit trying to do too much the first night, but she's a big part of our offense. She passes, she plays defense, she's blocking and making the big swings when we need it. Alyssa has just been steady all weekend offensively and led us in blocking. If I could have added one more it would have been Janelle Chow, I think she had the best weekend of her career so far. We wouldn't have gotten that win without her."
Chow had 17 digs Saturday night and averaged 4.71 digs per set for the tournament. Junior Ashley Christman has 12 kills and three blocks Saturday night, and hit .231. Alex Sele and Taylor Wilkinson each had three kills and hit .286 in the middle for the Vandals against the Cougars. Ryann Carter had 58 assists and 12 digs, and set the Vandals to a .217 hitting percentage. Jenna Ellis had 10 digs and Katelyn Peterson had eight kills and three digs.
Washington State hit .211 in the match, and had 60 assists, 79 digs and 12.5 total blocks. Idaho finished with 63 assists, 69 digs and 12.0 total blocks. The win is Idaho's second straight against WSU. The Vandals swept the Cougars 3-0 in 2010.
The Vandals return to action Aug. 30 when they visit Cal Poly, before taking on UC Santa Barbara and Northeastern at the UCSB Fall Invitational Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.

Gov. John Hickenlooper met with Creative Energy Systems officials Joe Yavorski and John Becker as well as Otero County and La Junta officials at noon on Saturday at the site of the proposed Creative Energy plant for the area. The plant will be constructed on the lot behind the old Gibson's store if current obstacles are overcome.
Hickenlooper said that he could see the potential for thousands of well-paying jobs in eastern Colorado and will do all he can to encourage the legislators to clear the way for the new clean energy plants.
Preliminary measures have been passed by the legislature for energy to be produced from waste tires and solid municipal waste. All of the possible subsidies and tax advantages will be needed to run a profitable enterprise, said CEO Yavorski on Saturday. The plant will produce methane and use its own gas to run the turbines which will produce electricity, after the initial start-up with natural gas.
One problem for Creative Energies is the tax structure in the United States and in Colorado, which takes from 38 to 45 per cent of the income, as compared with 20 percent in foreign locations such as Luxembourg. However, a plant is running in California.
Yavorski explained that the two sites going forward in Colorado at this time are in Fort Morgan and La Junta. The plant uses the tires and solid municipal waste from landfills. Otero County Landfill, Inc. is truly a regional operation, said Otero County Commissioner Kevin Karney, in that it takes in waste from many nearby municipalities, such as Fowler, Manzanola, and even some from Pueblo and Las Animas.
This would be a win-win situation in taking the pressure off the landfill and at the same time producing a clean base load of electricity. While wind and solar energy are intermittent sources of energy, clean energy produced from waste can maintain a steady base load. Pyrolysis is the process: a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen (or any halogen).

1st Issue Special #12 / Starman - Joe Kubert cover
First Issue Special v1 #12 featuring Starman, 1976 - DC introduces its bronze age version of Starman, a separate version of the golden age hero with no common traits. Joe Kubert draws an appropriately bold cover of the alien superhero, dodging a flying saucer's blast. The World Trade Center is prominently displayed in the background, though not in the story itself. Kubert's impressive effort is far superior to the interior art by Mike Vosburg. The issue also includes a fine Neal Adams public service ad, which appeared in several DC titles around the same month. This is number 2 of 2 First Issue Special issues with Kubert art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Kubert, or 1st Issue Special issues. See also this blog's Joe Kubert checklist.

Topics concern academic culture in the United States. Students begin to develop a portfolio of materials demonstrating their competency in English. Instructor permission is required.

Keith's Theatre In Boston Gets Ready For Its Close-Up
BOSTON, MA — The renovated and restored Keith's Theatre will reopen officially on July 16th, but the former movie palace has already presented an "informal concert" earlier this week. The Boston Globe, Boston Herald and Preservation Magazine report on this exciting news in the following articles:
Boston Globe:
- "Another opening, another show"
- "Where the silver screen was truly golden"
- "The magnificent performances sang"
- "Celebrating the reopening of the Opera House"
- "A front-row seat to an art form's rise and fall"

New Cinema Will Anchor O'Fallon Center
O'FALLON, MO — A new 14 Screen will be part of a new $40 Million Shopping Center in O'Fallon. It is part of one of the many sites that developers have staked out along Highway 40 in St. Charles County for retail development. The Center will be called Caledonia. (The new theater complex also is part of the recent spree of cinemas being built in the St. Louis area.)
This will be the Indiana-based Great Escape Theatres' first theater in the St. Louis Market. With the explosive growth of the WingHaven area in St. Charles County, this was an ideal opportunity for Great Escape. A new theater will be highly welcomed by the O'Fallon residents since they currently have to drive all the way to Mid-Rivers Mall (to the Wehrenberg theaters) in St. Peter's.

The Garden Theater (1918-2004)
CHARLESTON, SC — Thank you to the Friends of the Garden Theater for your efforts to save the Garden as a theater. Thanks to Cinema Treasures for providing a place to post notices and news. Thanks to the many fine folks who responded to our posts.
The scheduled meeting for June 17, 2004, has been cancelled due to recent developments. Yesterday, we were told by workmen at the theater that the curtain, seats, and rigging have been donated to an opera company in Pennsylvania and the floor is soon to be leveled from the stage to the rear wall of the auditorium so that the space can be leased to a retail store.

Trolley Corners Cinema to Become Fitness Center
SALT LAKE CITY, UT — Westates Theatres closed the Trolley Corners Cinema after its final showings on June 3, 2004. The triplex theater will be gutted and replaced by a 24-hour fitness health club.
Trolley Corners opened December 23, 1977 and was the last of Salt Lake's 70mm theaters. Theater #1 featured stadium seating, 770 seats, and an 8-channel SDDS digital sound system. The large, curved screen was covered with curtains. Murals of "Star Wars" and "Sound of Music" adorned the lobby walls. The projection booth held two projectors.

Dorval Cinema Closes For Good
MONTREAL, CANADA — Yesterday, the Famous Players Dorval Cinema closed its doors once again, but this time probably for good.
The theater will soon be transformed into the new regional head office for Famous Players.
Opened in 1962 with 2 cinemas, Salle Doree and Salle Rouge. Salle Rouge twinned in 1977 making the theater a triplex. In 1986, a 4th cinema was built upstairs. The theater closed in 2000 and reopened June 29, 2001.

The refurbished drive-in reopens its gates Friday, April 30 with second-run screenings of "50 First Dates" and "Starsky and Hutch." Plans include a move to first-run features after the theater is re-established.

HCPG Looks to Save Bells Opera House
HILLSBORO, OH — I have started a nonprofit preservation group, HCPG, whose purpose is to own, restore, and operate the 1895 Bells Opera House. We currently are seeking ownership, funding, and nonprofit status, working with our local congressman, and state representative in Ohio. It's been a nine month track for me of dreaming, learning, and working on a business concept.
Sometime between the 1920s and 1940s, the Opera turned into a theater… but we want to take it back to its origins. Any links or advice we could use? Any Angel money out there for our group? What a great website… it's nice knowing others are going through the same process.
Re-Opened Town Theater Thrives
FLORA, IL — The Town Theater opened last spring and is thriving by playing first run movies. Showtime Cinemas purchased the theater and has renovated it into two screens instead of one — to bring viewing pleasure to all.
The theater is currently opened Friday-Monday. Come check us out. And as always, we hope to see you at the movies…

Compuware Sports Arena Drive-In?
PLYMOUTH, MI — The Compuware Sports Arena's parking lot in Plymouth township may be drive-in theater according to this report from the Detroit Free Press.
The site could be a drive-in as early as May 15, if the township approves the proposal.

Odeon Drive-In Won't Reopen for 2004 Season
WINNIPEG, CANADA — According to this report from the CBC Manitoba, Cineplex Odeon has no plans to reopen the popular Odeon Drive-In this summer, ending a nearly 40 year tradition of bringing outdoor movies to the citizens of Winnipeg during the summer months.
Cineplex spokeswoman Pat Marshall remarked, "I think with the advent of our new mega-plexes which have become just great entertainment destinations, people are choosing to go to those theatres moreso than the drive-in."
Marshall says the increasing costs of running the old drive-in could not be made up with declining attendance during the city's short summer season.
(FYI… the article includes a section where readers can share their memories of the Odeon. You can also submit them .)

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
"Most sixteen year old musicians are honing their chops in the high school marching and concert bands. Some of the luckier ones attend a school that has a jazz band where a beginner can get a taste of improvisation. Sixteen year old alto saxophonist Grace Kelly - a testament to joyful precocious talent and a killer support system - trades licks with the legendary Phil Woods and records a CD, GRACEfullLEE, with the iconic Lee Konitz.
Kelly's previous CD, Every Road I Walked (Pazz Productions, 2006), showcased the artist's versatility. In addition to playing a fine, swinging alto sax, she also writes songs and sings. She proved her talent in turning out a liltingly beautiful bossa nova ("Samba de Verao"), and she sang with a charming fearlessness on a wonderful take on the American Songbook classic "East of the Sun." And then there was Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight," an alto sax/bass duet with John Lockwood, rendered with a spare dark introspection and wee hours melancholy that made it set's highlight.
GRACEfullLEE features, in addition to Grace Kelly and Lee Konitz on altos, an all-star rhythm section of bassist Rufus Reid, guitarist Russell Malone and drummer Matt Wilson. The set has a relaxed, blowing session feel, opening with Konitz's high octane classic, "Subconscious Lee." Both altoists take extended solos. Both sound fresh and free of clichés and it is very difficult to tell who is playing which part. If Grace Kelly entertained the thought that she might be in over her head in this company (she wasn't), it doesn't show.
"Just Friends" is a duet with Kelly and guitarist Malone, who sounds especially inspired throughout. The aptly-titled "Buzzin' Around" is just Konitz and Kelly in free improvisation mode. The much-recorded "You Don't Know What Love Is" has the two altoists exploring the sad gorgeousness of the familiar melody.
GRACEfulLEE mixes up a few jazz generations and shines a bright light on a very talented up-and-coming artist on an outstanding set of sounds." -AllAboutJazz
Album Reviews:
Down Beat (p.86) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "The two altos synch sweetly on the undulating linear head to the opener, as well as on their eponymous compositional collaboration. But the big surprise is Kelly's ballad playing. Her duet with Malone on 'Just Friends' is stunning in its simplicity and feeling..."
JazzTimes (p.65) - "The similarity between them is not surprising, but still can be striking, as on 'You Don't Know What Love Is.'"
Album Notes
Personnel: Grace Kelly (alto saxophone); Lee Konitz (alto saxophone); Russell Malone (guitars); Rufus Reid (bass guitar); Matt Wilson (drums).
Audio Mixer: Joseph Marciano.
Liner Note Authors: Grace Kelly ; Lee Konitz.
Recording information: Systems Two Studios, Brooklyn, NY.
Photographers: Jimmy Katz; Robert Kelly .
At the time of this recording, alto saxophonist and cool jazz icon Lee Konitz was into his eighth decade and his protege, alto saxophonist Grace Kelly, was in her mid-teens. While Konitz is indeed the mature voice here, Ms. Kelly sounds sophisticated and graceful beyond her years. Both horns dance and glide with aplomb, and intertwine like wisps of smoke, each bringing a restrained, truly cool intensity to their respective, somewhat similar approaches. The rest of the band is equally fine--drummer Matt Wilson is sparing and crisply propulsive, bassist Rufus Reid has a buoyant, Mingus-like tone, and guitarist Russell Malone has a sharper, spikier line of attack.

The Anoka-Ramsey Men's Basketball team suffered a setback on Saturday night, falling to the Wolfpack of Madison Tech 80-57. A sluggish first half combined with cold second-half shooting led to the defeat.
The Wolfpack shot a blistering 57.6% in the first half to take a 49-32 lead into the break. Madison Tech then blew the game open with a 10-0 run in the first 4 minutes of the second half to open a 27 point lead, 59-32.
Anoka-Ramsey was able to hold Madison Tech to 21 points the rest of the game, but only shot 27.6% themselves in the second half. The Golden Rams committed 23 turnovers, finishing the night shooting just 18-52 for 34.6% while Madison Tech finished 30-61 for 49.2%.
Anoka-Ramsey was led in scoring by freshman Erik Vinh and sophomore Mohamed Camara who each tallied career highs of 11 points off the bench. Vinh, who pulled down a career-high eight rebounds, was 4-9 from the field and 3-4 from the free-throw line, Camara finished 3-6 from the field all on 3-point attempts and was 2-2 from the line.

Local notions are the best. Indulge me as we traipse down this path.
Fool Magazine asked 100 chefs and food writers to name the most underrated chefs in the world. I love this question! Check it out and see the answers, the responses may surprise you.
So, of course this begs the question, who is the most underrated chef in our own town? Harcey at Victory 44? DeCamp at La Belle Vie? Josh Habiger and Erik Anderson of Catbird Seat in Nashville think its Doug Flicker. Defining underrated is half the battle but I can't disagree with Josh and Erik since I have been saying the same thing for the last five years. Who do you think deserves mention in this category? What's your local notion?

The 65th annual Spaghetti Supper at Our Lady of Good Hope Catholic Church will be held Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at lunch and at supper time. Serving will be from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and from 4:30-7 p.m. Tickets are for dine-in or carry-out and dinners include spaghetti, salad, bread, and dessert. According to Coordinator Sharon Wilson, "This is the 65th year of this event. It is a fundraiser for the church and is celebrated in the Mardi-Gras theme." Mary Massanelli began the fundraiser and her spaghetti sauce recipe is still used to this day. She was crowned "Miss Pasta" several years ago, to honor her longtime commitment to the event. Sandra Massanelli and Diane Stone have decorated the Parish Hall with new decorations this year, and volunteers included Joe Micco, Bill Thaxton, and Thana Schoen, among other members of the church. "We would love for everyone to come out and enjoy the meal," Wilson said. "It is for a good cause and it's set in a great atmosphere, too."

Iced Earth, a metal band from Tampa Florida is currently touring across Northern America in support of their new album 'Plaques of Babylon'. The album was released earlier this year and has received great reviews and some of the highest chart positions for the veteran band.
The evening was opened by Dutch progressive metallers ReVamp. The band is definitely ready for bigger tours and bigger venues. Singer, Floor Jansen, might be the most known musician of the group by her association with Finnish Nightwish. ReVamp played a energeting though short set to almost full house. The audience definitely liked what they saw and heard and I'm sure ReVamp will be back in the bay area one day.
The evening continued with Sabaton from Sweden. Their power metal was extremely well received and it seemed to even surprise the band itself. Joakim Brodén, the vocalist of Sabaton, stated few times that the stage was small with all the gear on it, but the reception by the audience more than made up for it. The band has gone through a big change since they were in San Francisco the last time, but the old material fit the new lineup like a glove and the long time fans got a show that they expected from Sabaton.
Even though the whole evening had been full of moshing and singing to the tunes of ReVamp and Sabaton, it was very clear who the audience really came to see. The audience erupted when Jon Schaffer and the rest of Iced Earth took the stage. And the noise level reached new heights when the band got into "Plagues of Babylon" as the first song. Even though Iced Earth is a metal band that relies into fast and hard riffs they don't shy away from mellower and softer parts in their music. It's great to hear the experience in crafting the songs and the dynamic range that allows the music to have maximum impact. Vocalist Stu Block didn't have his best night and especially towards the end of the set had some difficulties with the higher notes, but overall the band pulled off an awesome performance. Even though there has been more than twenty musicians in Iced Earth through the years, the band has managed to keep the music the centerpiece of what they are doing and the latest lineup handles even the oldest material with respect and enthusiasm.
The tour is nearing it's end on 5/16. Here are the remaining dates;
5/5/14 -- Spokane, Wash. -- Knitting Factory Concert House
5/6/14 -- Seattle, Wash. -- El Corazon
5/7/14 -- Vancouver, British Columbia -- The Venue
5/9/14 -- Edmonton, Alberta -- The Starlite Room
5/10/14 -- Calgary, Alberta -- Republik
5/11/14 -- Regina, Saskatchewan -- Riddell Centre
5/12/14 -- Winnipeg, Manitoba -- Park Theatre
5/14/14 -- Denver, Colo. -- The Summit Music Hall
5/15/14 -- Albuquerque, N.M. -- Sunshine Theater
5/16/14 -- Oklahoma City, OK - Diamond Ballroom

Seven Cowboy Wrestlers Named To Conference Academic Teams
June 4, 2013
OREM, Utah -
Hitting the books proved to be beneficial for seven University of Wyoming wrestlers after it was announced Tuesday that they had earned conference academic honors.
The Western Wrestling Conference unveiled its All-Academic team and Coaches' Honor Roll recipients which featured seven Cowboys, including redshirt freshman Tanner Harms, senior Alfonso Hernandez, senior Michael Poulos, sophomore Leland Pfeifer, junior Jake Eitzen and redshirt freshmen Cole Ford and Benjamin Stroh.
The All-Academic team is made up of 18 student-athletes who maintained a 3.20 or higher cumulative grade-point average, along with being a starter or key reserve and a sophomore or higher in academic standing. The Coaches' Honor Roll recognized 46 student-athletes who maintained at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
In late May, the Cowboys were one of just 30 teams in the nation to be honored by the National Wrestling Coaches Association for team academics. The Pokes finished 25th in the nation in team GPA with a cumulative 3.034 mark.
The Western Wrestling Conference is comprised of six schools including the Air Force Academy, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, South Dakota State, Utah Valley and Wyoming.
All-Academic Team honorees
Alfonso Hernandez - Hernandez was honored by the WWC five times in his career for academics. Hernandez also was named to the National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Academic team for the second time in his career in May. He graduated with a 3.64 GPA in kinesiology and health promotion and finished his Wyoming career eighth in career wins (120) and was a two-time All-American at 197 pounds.
Michael Poulos - Poulos was 5-12 at 174 pounds in 2013, appearing in two duals for the Cowboys. He earned league academic honors four times in his career, and he graduated with a 3.60 GPA in kinesiology and health promotion.
Leland Pfeifer - Pfeifer, who was on the Coaches' Honor Roll last season, went 3-11 at heavyweight in 2013, including a third-place finish at the NCAA West Regional. He owned a 3.57 GPA in geography.
Coaches' Honor Roll honorees
Cole Ford - Ford redshirted in 2013 as a freshman, and went 10-7 in open tournaments. He earned a 3.18 GPA in animal and veterinary sciences.
Benjamin Stroh - Stroh was 16-1 in open tournaments, redshirting his first season with the program. He tallied a 3.12 GPA, and has not declared a major.

My mom taught me how to sew clothes when I was young and I picked up quilting 9 years ago. After working on a quilt I am always amazed at how quickly a dress finishes. And the Huge 5/8 seam allowances throw me off after working on a quilt. :) I am sure it will turn out totally cute.

One hint - on those tucks double pin them. One pin where you will sew and one pin farther down on the garment so the tucks won't shift while you are pinning the others or sewing. With sewing dresses the more pins the better. :)Leilahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256649576715716272.post-8887749198333674952010-11-15T06:59:00.872-06:002010-11-15T06:59:00.872-06:00I am actually the opposite!

Sewing clothing for little girls isn't all that hard. They dont have all the curves that we do, so it isn't ver hard to get the right size and pattern!
I think you will do great! The pattern looks great and the diagrams in it look really detailed and helpful!

I have invested (ahem) a little in dress patterns (for me and the little one) but so far my adventures into this line of sewing have had limited success. The problem is there is nowhere to hide. At least with a quilt, if a seam doesn't quite match up with another, well, it doesn't really matter all that much. With a dress, every millimetre counts!

I also used to be intimidated by sewing anything that wasn't "flat". People would laugh at me and claim that quilting is way harder than garment sewing. I still think garments are harder, though! Sewing for kids is super easy-they are like little boxes and fit means nothing.

Always seem to be steps missing. Maybe I will try again. Would use some scrap fabric on the first one just to be sure I got it right. Just saying. Good luck, can't wait to see how it comes out.Four dogs and one quilterhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com
