MUSTANG HOOFPRINTS: Mustang fans, it's bowl week!
Hello Mustang Fans!
Big weekend in store for SMSU Athletics!
It is bowl week for the SMSU football team (7-4) which will play No. 17 Pittsburg State, Kan., (9-2) in the 48th Mineral Water Bowl on Saturday, in Excelsior Springs, Mo. with kickoff set for 12 p.m. at Tiger Stadium.
The Mineral Water Bowl is hosted by the Excelsior Springs Quarterback Club and the City of Excelsior Springs. The Mustangs travelled to Missouri on Thursday for a dinner hosted by the bowl committee.
SMSU will be making its first appearance in the bowl game and will be making just its third postseason appearance in the 46-year history of the program. The Mustangs come into the contest a four-game winning streak – their longest streak since 1999 – and tied for the third-longest streak in program history.
Today, the Mustangs will practice at 10:45 a.m. at Tiger Stadium, before heading to the Mineral Water Bowl Banquet, which will be held tonight.
Bowl game information
For all Mustang fans travelling to the game, SMSU Athletics and Advancement will be sponsoring a tailgate tent at the stadium Saturday morning. The tailgating will begin at 10 a.m.

We have five teams attending this year's event competing in three areas: agriculture issues, agriculture marketing and agriculture communications. The winners of each category will be recognized at halftime of the Mustang men's basketball game Saturday evening.

Here are my 25 all-time favorite Minimalist recipes (for one reason or another.) What are yours?
The 20 Most Watched Minimalist Videos
Here are the 20 most watched Minimalist videos (the perfect way to kill an hour!)
The Minimalist: Exit Stage Right
Today I'm bidding farewell to The Minimalist. It's been thirteen wonderful years (almost 700 columns.) I may be leaving the Dining section (there might be some return appearances,) but I'm not travelling far. Starting next week I'll be writing in The Times opinion pages (and in a new blog there as well,) and beginning in March in The Times Magazine (plenty of recipes, most Sundays.) Check back throughout the day for some bonus links.
Roasted Beets get a Japanese Twist
By Freya Bellin
Beets happen to be delicious simply roasted on their own, but the spice mixture in this recipe really livens them up. It's hot and citrusy and goes quite well with the natural sweetness of the beets. The headnote below mentions that you'll have extra spice mixture, and you most certainly will. Sprinkle on a small amount at a time to cover the beets and add more as needed; it was much spicier than I expected it to be. I also highly recommend trying out the honeyed walnuts mentioned in the variation. The honey downplays the spice of the seasoning a bit, and the nuts add a nice crunch.
If there's one thing I learned from cooking this dish, it's that peppercorns and sesame seeds are nearly impossible to grind by hand. A spice or coffee grinder help tremendously. Your hands will thank you. Recipe from The Food Matters Cookbook.
The Best (and Simplest) Potato Salad
Potato Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette
Makes: 4 servings
Time: 30 minutes, plus time to cool
To me, the best and simplest potato salad is made of just-boiled potatoes dressed in a freshly made vinaigrette. If you're in a hurry, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl, then just add the potatoes. Parsley and chopped onion are easy, flavorful additions. Recipe from How to Cook Everything.
The Minimalist: Whole-Grain Pancakes
Whole grains add tenderness and great flavor to pancakes.
Hippie Rice
By Freya Bellin
The 60s may be behind us, but this recipe is sure to please your nostalgic inner hippie. It is undeniably healthy, and the ingredients work together in a really unique and flavorful way. Nutty brown rice is sweetened by raisins, complemented by sunflower seeds, and balanced out by fresh broccoli. I love the heat that the red chile flakes add, and toasting the sunflower seeds adds a lot of flavor. The raisins get nice and plump when mixed in with the warm ingredients, and while they may seem out of place with broccoli, they're really an excellent sweet accent. Next time I would actually increase the measurement to about 1/2 cup.
Its being a one-pot dish is big plus. You toast the sunflower seeds, cook the rice, and steam the broccoli all in the same saucepan. Just be careful not to add too much water with the rice, otherwise the rice and broccoli can get mushy. Better to err on the side of too little and add more as you go. The result is a hearty side dish that's special enough that you'll be excited to serve it, but also simple enough that you can add it to your weeknight repertoire. The olive oil and lemon juice that are added at the end create a nice, simple dressing, and I added a bit more salt and pepper to taste. Serve with pretty much any protein—simply seasoned chickpeas would work, or up the hippie ante with tofu, mentioned below. Recipe from The Food Matters Cookbook.
Grilled or Broiled Chicken Kebabs
Makes: 4 servings
Time: About 30 minutes, plus time to marinate
Well-seasoned grilled or broiled kebabs will make anyone a convert to dark-meat chicken. You can use chicken breasts here too, but watch them closely so they don't overcook and dry out.
Other protein you can use: turkey thighs; pork or veal shoulder, steak, or loin; sturdy fish like swordfish or salmon. Recipe from How to Cook Everything.
The Minimalist: Fazzoletti with Chunky Pesto
If the idea of undertaking fresh pasta at home makes you want to cry, you may need a pasta handkerchief.
Chickpea Tagine with Chicken and Bulgur
By Freya Bellin
I've had several variations of tagine, but this one is easily my favorite, thanks to spot-on seasoning and the unusual addition of bulgur. This spice blend is deliciously aromatic, filling my kitchen (not to mention the hallway leading up to the apartment) with an irresistible sweetness. The raisins plump up beautifully and complement the cinnamon and ginger. The chicken thighs become super tender from being browned and then braised. Yet the real winner for me was the bulgur. It makes a great hearty base for the other ingredients and manages to absorb all the flavors of the stew. My only suggestion for varying this recipe would be to add a dash of cayenne pepper to the spice blend for a little heat and contrast to the natural sweetness. Recipe from The Food Matters Cookbook.

Peter & Scott, You guys must have really big ovens.
The flour i use is 13.10% protein level.... too much?...PD: thanks for your comment about my english.... i will travel to U.S. with friends for a "coast to coast" this summer
When you are in the U.S., you should definitely try out a few NY style pizza places.
peter, only one more question:making lehmann´s recipe, how many days with the dough into the refrigerator do you think are best?? may i wait until the end of rising progress (3 or 4 days)??
Does anyone make a S hook attachment for the Kitchen Aid mixer?
The problem is that with shorter knead times the dough tears when I pull off a piece and test it while kneading (like in the leahmann video)
Has anyone else out there tried this formula with Bread Flour rather than the high gluten flour? I decided to try Bread Flour and I like it so much better! It had a crispier outside and a soft and chewy inside...just what I've been looking for! This has become mine and my husband's favorite pizza thus far!

5 Kickstarter Campaigns for Trail Runners
Creative visions range from documentaries on Caballo Blanco and the Bridger Ridge Run to an Appalachian-Trail-themed board game
Dreams are nothing without a little help to make them real. That is why folks are flocking to Kickstarter, a "crowdfunding" website that hosts thousands of creative proposals for the perusal of potential investors.
Backers can choose the amount of money to pledge, often even as little as one dollar, usually in exchange for various goodies once the project is funded. The catch is that each proposal has a fundraising goal and deadline. The deal is all or nothing. If monetary goals aren't met, nobody pays out and nobody cashes in.
But when it works, it works. Successful Kickstarter campaigns have funded several trail runners' projects like the Bia Sport GPS watch, Bearded Brothers raw energy bars, Devon and Nathan Yankos' San Anselmo bakery, and the documentary,The Barkley Marathons—The Trail That Eats Its Young.
Which got us thinking. What other worthwhile Kickstarter projects are out there? After sorting through hundreds of proposals, we came up with five campaigns fit for trail runners.
1. Run Free—The True Story of Caballo Blanco
Circa 1995: A young, bearded Micah True (second from right) stood outside of his teepee in Nederland with several Tarahumara runners. Photo courtesy of Maria Walton.
This documentary, directed by Sterling Noren, includes some of the last footage of legendary Copper Canyon-dwelling ultrarunner, Micah True, before he died during a trail run in the Gila Wilderness in 2012. The film tells the story of the Copper Canyon Ultramarathon founded by True (since renamed Ultra Caballo Blanco), which provides hundreds of pounds of corn to finishers, many of whom are indigenous Raramuri, or Tarahumara.
Goal: $75,000
UPDATED: Funded! Raised: $80,324

About the Author: Ambassador Philip Verveer serves as U.S. Coordinator for International Communications & Information Policy.
While in San Francisco for a conference last week, I had the opportunity to tour Silicon Valley and meet representatives from a number of Northern California-based technology firms. Special Representative for Commercial and Business Affairs Lorraine Hariton, a successful Silicon Valley tech executive prior to joining the State Department three months ago, Steven Koltai, and Joseph Burton also participated. The Silicon Valley meetings were scheduled with the extremely helpful assistance of the European-American Business Council.
We sought the meetings to better understand the international technology policy, competitiveness, and innovation concerns impacting U.S.-based technology companies of all sizes, and to learn of future technology issues. A series of technology-specific roundtable meetings included sessions focused on semiconductors, smart grid, cyber-security, and wireless, wire-line, and Internet Protocol (IP) telephony. We also met with a large number of Silicon Valley-based venture capitalists.
Among the many important technology policy and competitiveness issues learned on this visit, I'd like to share the following themes of note for consideration by DipNote readers:
• As technology touches more and more lives throughout the world, a focus on sustainability is gaining importance in the technology industry. I would like to engage my international counterparts on increasing worldwide access to communications and information products and services in a more environmentally sustainable manner. This is something that has implications for economic development as well as for climate and other environmental concerns.
• Criminal and other misuses of our broadband infrastructure are increasing in volume and sophistication at an appalling rate, making the need to promote online security best practices to an increasingly wired world ever more important. I will be looking for opportunities to highlight the need for greater worldwide cyber awareness and education.
• International harmonization of radio spectrum, as well as reliance on internationally standardized encryption, would promote manufacturing and related efficiencies with no apparent significant downside.
• Tied-aid by other governments is a growing competitiveness problem to the U.S. technology industry. This occurs when a government promises to provide economic or development aid in exchange for awarding particular projects or procurements to donor nation companies. It is important that industry report such practices in a timely manner.
• There is considerable concern that technical standards are being used in some countries as trade barriers. As with tied-aid, it is helpful to the Department to learn of instances in which standardization activities are suspected of being disguised trade barriers.
The insights gained during this listening tour will be helpful to U.S. efforts to level the international competitive playing field and to expand access to communications for worldwide economic benefit. I look forward to continued engagement with representatives of industry and civil society regarding key policy priorities and issues.
Ambassador Philip Verveer leads the International Communication and Information Policy (CIP) group, one of seven issue-oriented organizations within the Bureau of Economic, Energy, and Business Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. CIP advocates international policies for expanded access to information and communication technologies (ICT), improved efficiency in the worldwide ICT and telecommunications market through increased reliance on free-market forces, and fair opportunities for U.S. companies to participate in this important sector around the globe.
Wondesen writes:
Copenhagen; The committee of the by Editor in World Wide Protest International Network against Repression and Injustice in Ethiopia organized another successful Demonstrations on December 17 & 18 2009. Patriotic Ethiopians from Denmark, UK, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Netherlands, France and Italy protested during the UN Climate summit in Copenghagen against the attendance of Genocideer Meles Zenawi representing Africa.
These brave Ethiopians travelled from 9 up-to 26 hours by cars to attend this protest and braved the worst weather for the last 8 years, a temperature of -12c.

The Attorney General is not simply the lawyer for the President, but also the lawyer for all the people of this country, a person with the power to affect, for good or ill, the lives of all Americans. As head of the Department of Justice, the Attorney General, among other things, is the principal enforcer of our nation's civil rights laws and is entrusted with guaranteeing justice for all Americans. The Attorney General is also responsible for the enforcement of immigration laws and for federal laws protecting women's reproductive freedom and the environment. In choosing which cases the Justice Department will take up, the Attorney General plays a critical role in determining whether our nation will keep its promise to all Americans of equal justice under the law or will abandon this goal in favor of a narrow, extremist, and exclusionary vision of justice.
The Justice Department also recommends nominees to the federal courts and plays a significant role in the screening and selection process to determine whether those nominees are fair-minded individuals committed to equal justice under law for all Americans or are ideologues chosen to advance a specific social and legal agenda. The Attorney General reviews proposed legislation and advises the President as to whether particular proposals violate the Constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court. Through the Office of the Solicitor General, the Attorney General also represents the United States before the Supreme Court, where he or she is in a position to advocate on behalf of or in opposition to individual rights and freedoms.
The person chosen to be Attorney General of the United States must be someone who has demonstrated the highest respect for the fundamental principles of equality under the law. The person confirmed to this critically important position must be committed to seeing to it that every American enjoys equal protection under the law and must be willing to pledge the power and resources at the Attorney General's command to the pursuit of equal justice.
And because of the Attorney General's unique powers and responsibilities as the nation's chief lawyer and prosecutor, he or she must also be a person beyond reproach, a person of integrity and judgment, and one with a temperament fit for this special position.
For these reasons, a high standard should be applied to the consideration of a nominee for Attorney General. The special nature of the Office of Attorney General should be of principal concern to the Senate Judiciary Committee as it considers Mr. Ashcroft's nomination. As former Solicitor General Archibald Cox stated during the Confirmation Hearings of Edwin Meese III fifteen years ago:
- Respect for the law, the fairness with which law is administered, is the foundation of a free society. The individual who becomes Attorney General can do more by his past record than his conduct in office to strengthen or erode confidence in the fairness, impartiality, integrity, freedom from taint of personal influence, in the administration of law.
Confirmation of Edwin Meese III: Hearings before the Sen. Comm. on the Judiciary, 99th Cong., 1st Sess. 450 (1985).

I really love the environment, and before PETA I thought being vegan was the only thing I could do to help. I'm so glad there's something else I can do, I love showing the posters and stickers to my friends and I even talked my cheer coach into letting me give out stickers at a football game. :D

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
At the recent Castle Dale City Council meeting, Mayor Neal Peacock welcomed the two newly elected council members. The two, Julie Johansen Love and Jeremy Jewkes, were sitting in the audience to gain a greater perspective of the workings of the city council. They will be sworn into office at the first meeting of 2010 which will be held Jan 14 at 7 p.m. at city hall.
The first item of business for the council was to canvass the election. City recorder Carolyn Jorgensen informed the council of the number of absentee ballots and those ballots did not affect the election results. After hearing the final numbers of the votes, the council voted to accept the canvassing of the election. Three hundred seventy-eight voters participated in the election.
City enforcement officer Richard Herring informed the council he has been working to get those businesses who have not renewed their business licenses to take care of the matter. He also notified the council of several camp trailers and other items still parked on city streets. These items must be moved off city streets before snow falls to aid in snow removal.
Herring said the members of the fire department have all taken the driving class recently required by the fire district. "We recently had a meeting with XTO for emergency training. I will be working to bring the necessary people up to speed with the training," said Herring.
Councilman Jack Rogers stated the fire district has received grants and all of the fire stations in the county will be receiving a new truck. "We need to be thinking now of a place to house this new truck. Our present station is not adequate. We have at least a year to prepare," said Rogers.
Mayor Peacock said the new city website is up and running. "It is still a work in progress and will be updated as necessary," said Peacock. "The city's ordinances will be available for residents to read, and there will also be forms and burn permits available online. There will be links on the website for the Castle Dale businesses who have their own websites, and the county has assured us that their website will have a link to this new city site. Agendas for all city meetings will also be available on the site."
Councilman Brad Giles stated the special service district is working on outside water connection issues. They requested and received funding from the Permanent Community Impact Board for these issues.
Jorgensen gave the council a letter the city has received from the Cottonwood Irrigation Company. The company is in the process of acquiring funding from the Bureau of Reclamation for a pipeline system to be installed. This letter informs Castle Dale there may be an additional assessment per water share to raise the remainder of the funding.
Jorgensen stated the cemetery plan is now printed out and available for viewing in the city office. "We are still working on it to make sure it is accurate and complete," said Jorgensen. She encouraged everyone to come and look at the plan and inform them of any inaccuracies.
Mayor Peacock announced the city's Christmas party will be held Dec. 10 from 5-7 p.m. The next city council meeting will follow that party at 7 p.m.

About the Author: Susan Swart serves as Chief Information Officer for the U.S. Department of State.
We are welcoming over 400 participants to today's Tech@State conference in Washington, DC, and we look forward to participation from many more American and International citizens through the live video stream available at www.ustream.tv/channel/tech-state. This conference is important to us for many reasons: one of the most important to me is that it creates an opportunity for dialogue among government, nonprofit, private sector, and academia about the ways we can work together to create a healthy community for open source innovation.
From its beginnings the Department of State has always been an information organization, but with technology, the telegram, the satellite and the fiber optic link, the business of diplomacy has evolved. We understand that in crafting foreign policy and working with our partners abroad that technology is the key enabler of our information enterprise. As technology moves ahead, we must keep pace. Our challenge today is to create and manage interoperable information systems that can link to our sister agencies and foreign and domestic partners.
In meeting this challenge, we are looking to new options to simplify the management and processing of information. We'll do this in two ways: first, by using a broad strategy consistent with a merit-based approach to technology. This means that we'll continue to use a combination of proprietary and open source software, and when necessary integrate and develop custom components to deliver the sorts of specialized functionality needed by diplomacy. We'll also continue to support the spirit of an open source culture and place emphasis on sharing information responsibly. Both of these are activities that State has encouraged for nearly a decade and will redouble our efforts upon.
We are deeply impressed by the broad international collaboratives that produce open source software and their capacity to self-organize and deliver results. These international organizations provide lessons to learn and will be important partners in meeting the pressing problems of our turbulent world.

Schools Are Ruining Our Kids, writes A.A. Gill in Vanity Fair. Gill has raised one set of children and has a second set just starting school.
In the 100 years since we really got serious about education as a universally good idea, we've managed to take the 15 years of children's lives that should be the most carefree, inquisitive, and memorable and fill them with a motley collection of stress and a neurotic fear of failure. Education is a dress-up box of good intentions, swivel-eyed utopianism, cruel competition, guilt, snobbery, wish fulfillment, special pleading, government intervention, bureaucracy, and social engineering.
Gill blames "the byzantine demands of the education-industrial complex," but it's really competitive parents who demand preschool put their kiddies on track for the Ivy League.
Over-achieving Hillary Clinton smugly told us that it took a village to bring up a child. Oh my God. If only. If all it took were some happy, thatched, smocked village, we'd all have bought villages, have bought 10 villages—we'd have adopted a village. But no dusty, higgledy-piggledy, clucking, mooing, sleepy-town hamlet is going to get you into the only pre-school that is the feeder for that other school that is the fast track to the only school that is going to give your child half a chance of getting into that university that will lead to a life worth living.
Oh no, we need far more than the village. We need au pairs who speak three languages and musical nannies and special tutors and counselors and professional athletes with knee problems to coach hand-eye coordination.
Outside of the wealthier parts of Manhattan, how many parents can afford to buy villages worth of nannies, tutors, coaches and counselors? Are parents really so obsessed with their children's "success" that they forget about happiness?

At the Mount Whitney Summit
By MortazaviBlog on Oct 05, 2009
A friend and I hiked to the Mount Whitney summit on September 28, 2009. Mount Whitney is the highest mountain in the contiguous United States and is located near Death Valley, California. It took 9 hours to hike up and 8.5 hours to hike down. We rested for an evening at a campsite below the tree-line. The whole adventure took 27 hours. Driving back and forth, from the Bay Area, took about 6.5 hours each way.

Most Popular Hairstyles
Reworked and updated retro hairstyles work best for medium-length straight hair. Here, butterscotch-shade blonde hair is cut long on the crown, then fades down the sides. The back can be a taper or a neat line, well above the collar. Sideburns stop just at the middle of the ear, and closely follow the curve of the ear. Hair at the top is blow-dried with a brush for height, then coaxed to the side. The part is not cleanly delineated, and the rest of the hair is given a quick blow-dry as well for height, especially the sides and back of the crown. The sexiness of the style is upped by the light set, which allows for movement and displays the natural highlights in the blonde as well.

If Paris is the undisputed capital of luxury goods and fashion, it is due in a very large part to the 17th-century king Louis XIV. More than any other French monarch, Louis XIV was the charismatic personnage who spurred an exceptional wave of creativity in interior decoration, haute couture, gastronomy, jewelry, and perfume.
With the assistance of his remarkable minister, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, the Sun King willed France into holding the monopoly on culture, style, and luxury, and made the French craftsmen the best in the world. By the end of his reign (1715) the French were considered all over the Western world to be the absolute arbiters in matters of taste and style, and France ruled over every sector of the luxury trade as it still does 350 years later.

New Players Center Stage for FIVB World Grand Prix

Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 23, 2009) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team played two international tournaments on domestic soil (Pan American Cup at Miami and FIVB Women's World Championship Qualification Tournament at Orlando) in June and July with six Olympians playing key roles, but newcomers will take center stage during the upcoming FIVB World Grand Prix that begins on July 31.
U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) sees the World Grand Prix as a perfect opportunity to see what the younger players can do for the future of the program.
"We are at the beginning of the Olympic quadrennial and this seems like a very appropriate time to look at a new generation of athletes in order to see if they can help sustain and build on this program's success."
The preliminary 19-player roster, from which McCutcheon must select a maximum of 14 players per World Grand Prix stage, includes 2008 Olympic Games silver medalists Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) and Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) vying for the libero position. Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa), a 2004 Olympic Games roster, and Heather Hughes (Fallbrook, Calif.) are the two pure opposites on the roster. At setter, Angela McGinnis (Fraser, Mich.), Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.) and Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.) are the three players competing for spots on the final FIVB World Grand Prix roster.
Outside hitters on the preliminary roster include Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.), Jane Collymore (Seattle, Wash.), Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Pa.), Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.), Angie Pressey (Lake Mary, Fla.) and Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah). The six middle blockers vying for court time for the U.S. in the World Grand Prix are Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), Alexis Crimes (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.), Christa Harmotto (Aliquippa, Pa.), Lauren Paolini (Ann Arbor, Mich.), Tracy Stalls (Denver, Colo.) and Elisha Thomas (Grass Valley, Calif.).
Akinradewo, Barboza, Hughes, McGinnis, Richards and Stalls were all alternates on the U.S. 2008 Olympic Games roster and now looking for their opportunity to shine in the upcoming Olympic quadrennial.
Although the preliminary roster is youthful in age and experience, it is not short on talent. Both Sykora and Davis walked away from the first two major tournaments in 2009 with individual hardware. Davis was the Best Digger during the Pan American Cup in which the U.S. finished fourth after winning Pool A with a 5-0 record. Sykora earned Best Libero, Best Digger and Best Receiver at the FIVB Women's World Championship Qualification Tournament – NORCECA Pool G held in Orlando. The liberos will provide leadership to the young squad.
Barboza, an alternate for the U.S. at each of the last two Olympic Games yet still relatively young at age 22, was presented the Most Valuable Player and Best Spiker Award at the FIVB World Championship Qualification Tournament earlier this month in Orlando. In addition, Thompson was the recipient of the Best Setter and Best Server awards in the tournament as she split time with Spicer at setter in each of the opening tournaments. Thompson and Spicer could be pushed during the tournament by McGinnis, who had a late start in training with the National Team this summer after a solid first season in 2008.
Metcalf, Larson and Richards could be called upon as go-to offensive threats at the World Grand Prix. Metcalf, an Olympian in 2004, was Team USA's leading scorer at the Pan American Cup with 93 points in her first action with the team since 2006. Larson, competing in her first senior-level international event for the U.S., added 77 points during the Pan American Cup. Neither Metcalf or Larson played in the World Championship Qualification Tournament. Richards played in 20 of the 24 sets during the Pan American Cup and provided 66 points, followed by 12 points in limited action during the World Championship qualifier.
Harmotto has competed in the first three events of 2009 for the U.S. and averaged 2.24 points per set with a .404 hitting efficiency in Egypt, Miami and Orlando. Akinradewo, who had a breakout tournament in last year's World Grand Prix, Stalls and Alexis Crimes are middle blockers seeking their first action for the U.S. in 2009. Meanwhile, Thomas has not played for the U.S. since 2005 and looks to find her way back into the middle blocker mix. The middle spot also includes Paolini, who started both matches in Egypt earlier this year with a 3.83 scoring average.
The outside hitter role has three relative newcomers to the program. Collymore, who competed with the national team early in the previous Olympic cycle, returned to the team this summer and helped the U.S. win the World Championship qualifier with 3.44 points per set topped by an 18-point performance against Costa Rica on July 8. Pressey was a reserve for Team USA in both international tournaments this year. Meanwhile, Fawcett could get her first taste of international competition at the senior level during the World Grand Prix after a standout career at Penn State that included two NCAA titles and Player of the Year honor.
"This trip could be difficult, but it could be very good for our team," Metcalf said. "It will be very interesting to see how our team will react in facing some very good competition. The World Grand Prix will be a great time to get better as a team and individually."
"Our goal is to try to win as many matches as possible during the World Grand Prix," McCutcheon said. "But more important will be our focus on implementing techniques and systems that will be used for the rest of the quad. As a team, we learned a lot from the first two tournaments this year in Florida. Since then we have practiced hard, made adjustments and continued to improve as a team."
The 2009 FIVB World Grand Prix involves 12 national teams playing a total of 69 matches over four consecutive weeks in 10 cities. The preliminary weekend rounds are set to take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Kielce, Poland and Ningbo, China, on the first weekend, Miao Li, Chinese Taipei, Macau, China, and Osaka, Japan, the second weekend and Hong Kong, Mokpo, Korea and Bangkok, Thailand, the third weekend. The Final Round – composed of the top five teams plus host Japan – is a five-day round-robin event in Tokyo settling the overall title.
The U.S. Women's National Team opens the FIVB World Grand Prix at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as part of Pool A. The Americans begin the tournament versus Germany on July 31, followed by NORCECA rival Puerto Rico on Aug. 1. On Aug. 2, the FIVB will have its featured match of the preliminary round as top-ranked and 2008 Olympic Games gold medalist Brazil hosts second-ranked and 2008 Olympic Games silver medalist Team USA.
The U.S. Women travel from Rio de Janeiro to Miao Li, Chinese Taipei, the following weekend for Pool D action. Team USA plays NORCECA rival Dominican Republic on Aug. 7, Netherlands on Aug. 8 and Germany on Aug. 9.
The Americans conclude the preliminary action in Pool I Aug. 14-16 at Bangkok, Thailand. The U.S. Women face Russia on Aug. 14, Puerto Rico on Aug. 15 and host Thailand on Aug. 16.
"The travel is extensive in the World Grand Prix, but I think we have some strategies for that," McCutcheon said. "We will be playing some good teams and it will be good to see how our players compete under these trying circumstances."
During the trip, McCutcheon will be assisted by Karch Kiraly (San Clemente, Calif.) as assistant coach and Jamie Morrison (Dana Point, Calif.) as technical coordinator/team leader. Beth Launiere (Salt Lake City, Utah), the head women's coach at University of Utah, will serve as an assistant coach for the first two preliminary weekends. John Speraw (Irvine, Calif.), the head men's coach at UC Irvine and former assistant coach for the U.S. Men's National Team that won the 2008 Olympic Games gold medal, will serve as an assistant coach in the third weekend and the Final Round should Team USA advance.
The U.S. Women's National Team qualified for the 2009 FIVB World Grand Prix through the 2008 Pan American Cup in which the Americans were the third highest placing team from NORCECA.
