Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Detailed Description:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important cause of illness and occasional deaths in infants who catch the virus before they are born, in newborns, and in children and adults who have weak immune systems. The purpose of this study is to look at how the CMV vaccine works in the blood. This study is being done along with the main CMV gB/MF59 vaccine study that looks at how the overall body reacts to the vaccine. Participants will include up to 100 healthy adolescent female subjects aged 12 to 17 years who were vaccinated in study 04-039 and 100 subjects that were screened for 04-039 to participate as controls. Study procedures will include up to 6 blood draws taken over a 13 month period. Participation will be about 31 months (unless the patient enrolls into the shedding study).

|August 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Protocol 04-039 subjects
At least 50 and maximum of 100 healthy adolescent female subjects aged 12-17 years who were vaccinated in protocol 04-039 will be enrolled.
Positive and Negative Controls
Approximately 100 screened subjects will be enrolled to serve as positive and negative controls.
Detailed Description:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important cause of morbidity and occasional mortality in congenitally infected infants and immuno-compromised children and adults, especially human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals and transplant recipients. Newborn infants represent a particularly high-risk group. This study of cell-mediated immune responses to cytomegalovirus GB/MF59 vaccine is a substudy of Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, NIAID, NIH, DHHS (DMID) protocol 04-039, "A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase II Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of the Cytomegalovirus gB/MF59 Vaccine in Preventing Systemic Cytomegalovirus Infection in Healthy Adolescent Females." This vaccine trial is designed to test the safety and efficacy of the CMV gB/MF59 vaccine. Primary goals of this study are to assess whether injection with 3 doses of the CMV gB/MF59 vaccine induces significant CD4+, CD8+ and/or regulatory T cell immune responses; to evaluate the boosting affect of gB/MF59 on the CMV-specific T cell responses after each of 3 doses of vaccine; to evaluate the persistence of CMV-specific T cell responses after vaccination; and to evaluate CMV-specific T cell responses in subjects that seroconvert during the vaccine trial. New techniques for the enumeration and characterization of antigen specific T cells are now available that will facilitate a precise analysis of the magnitude and functional capacity of influenza virus-specific T cells. All subjects enrolled in the CMV gB/MF59 trial at Vanderbilt and Cincinnati study sites will be eligible for enrollment in the cell-mediated immune response sub-study. Blood draws for assessment of cellular immune response will be obtained in 3 phases. Phase 1, N=50: at visit 1, the initial 100 consented subjects to recruit approximately 50 seropositive subjects (based on a 60 percent seropositive rate). Samples from this phase of the study will be used to establish the optimal conditions for the assay and to compare natural infection with vaccine induced T cell responses. Phase 2, N=50-100: at day 0 (before 1st dose of vaccine), day 30 (before the second dose of vaccine), day 60 (1 month after the second dose of vaccine), day 210 (1 month after the last dose of vaccine), and day 390 (7 months after the last dose of vaccine). Samples from this phase will be used to evaluate the boosting affect of gB/MF59 after each of 3 doses of vaccine and to evaluate the persistence of CMV-specific T cell responses. Phase 3: at each visit (S1-S8) for those subjects that seroconvert (i.e. if subject seroconverts at visit 10 blood will be obtained at visits S1-S8). These samples will be used to compare CMV-specific responses in subjects that either did or did not receive the vaccine and seroconvert during the study. These time points are based on the vaccine study design and the previous work evaluating T cell responses to vaccination 1 month and 6 months after immunization. Researchers will collect 30 ml of blood per draw in this trial enrolling up to 100 healthy adolescent females 12-17 years of age, inclusive. Blood volumes were determined to ensure sufficient numbers of cells to establish stimulation protocols and evaluate cell-mediated immune responses. The study duration will be 43 months. Subject duration will be 31 months, unless the subject seroconverts and enrolls into the shedding study. This study is linked to DMID protocol 04-039.

Fall rehearsals announced for MC's community music ensembles
July 10, 2013
Contact: Chloe Kennedy, News and New Media Writer
865.981.8209; firstname.lastname@example.com
Rehearsals for the 2013-14 concert season will begin in August for Maryville College's community music ensembles.
The Orchestra at Maryville College, under the direction of Bill Robinson, will begin fall rehearsals for its 2013-14 concert season on Mon., Aug 26 at 7 p.m. in the Clayton Center for the Arts' Ronald and Lynda Nutt Theatre. Rehearsals will be held on Mondays from 7 until 9 p.m.
A college and community ensemble, the Orchestra at Maryville College brings live symphonic performances to the public stage four times per season.
A major change for the Orchestra this year involves moving its concerts to Sunday afternoons at 2:30 p.m. The first performance, scheduled for Sun., Oct. 20, will feature music by Maryville native Jennifer Higdon. Mark Harrell of Knoxville will provide an orchestration of the "Horn Sonata" by a former MC professor, the late Victor Schoen. On Sun., Dec. 1, the Orchestra will join forces with the Maryville College Community Chorus for a holiday concert that will include seasonal favorites. Auditions for the annual "Showcase of Area Artists" will be held on Sat., Dec. 7.
Robinson is in his 8th season of conducting the Orchestra. After receiving his bachelor's and master's degrees in music education from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Robinson began his orchestral teaching career in the Maryville City Schools system in 1978. Under his leadership, the Maryville City Schools orchestra program has developed into a nationally recognized music program. In 2011, Robinson was recognized for his contribution and was honored by the Yale University School of Music as a Distinguished Music Educator. A former member of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, he continues to perform as a violinist throughout the community.
"The joy of bringing classical symphonic music to Maryville College and our community has created a lifetime of memorable relationships and artistic experiences," said Robinson, who has had a long association with Maryville College, extending back to his parents, MC alumni William N. Robinson '52 and Mildred Cooper Robinson '53.
For more information, please contact Robinson at email@example.com or the Division of Fine Arts office at 865.981.8150.
The Maryville College-Community Concert Band, under the direction of Tom Delozier, will begin fall rehearsals for its 2013-14 concert season on Wed., Aug. 28 at 7 p.m. in the Clayton Center for the Arts' Ronald and Lynda Nutt Theatre.

SLiDE Wrap-Up: Episode 10Posted on 09/26/2012 by Lisa
SLiDE is over! Did you watch the last episode? (If not, watch it here.) Let's discuss!
I've got some stuff to say about this episode, and I want to hear your thoughts, too. Post them in the comments.
So. First up. I'm curious about the wild-party-craziness that happened between episodes 9 and 10. How did Ed end up waking up on the beach alone? (If anybody out there writes SLiDE fan-fiction, I politely request a story about that night!)
I thought it felt very realistic when Tammy and Scarlett went into the VIP section and realized it was empty and pretty lame. I feel like the letters "VIP" give a place a special, off-limits kind of feel, but rarely live up to those expectations. I think the best moments at rock shows happen in the general admission area. (Also: It was SO GROSS when Luke and Eva got puked on by a VIP stranger.)
When Ed and Luke realize that Tammy slept with both of them in the same night... SO AWKWARD. If I had time, I'd make a little chart of which of these five friends have hooked up with each other -- and it'd be a pretty complex chart!
I'm not sure if a second season of SLiDE will ever get made, but I loved that when Dylan said he was moving away for a job, Luke mentioned needing housemates. These five, living in that house together? That'd be pretty crazy.
SLiDE Wrap-Up: Episode 9Posted on 09/19/2012 by Lisa
As Ed realized after drinking too many energy drinks, insomnia is the wooorst. Let's talk about Episode 9. (Watch it hereif you haven't seen it yet! *Spoilers below.*)
My random comments on this episode follow... Please post yours in the comments!
I wouldn't recommend this to any real-life students I know, but I secretly love that the SLiDE gang had a last-minute pool party at 5am on the day of their biggest final. That just seems like a nice way to start the day. Haha. I freaked out when Luke had a seizure though -- that image will stick in my head for a while. Life tip: If you get in a car accident, it's always a good idea to get checked out by a doctor. (Especially if your head is bleeding!)
Another image that will stick in my head: An over-caffeinated Ed trying to tear apart his little backyard club house with a sledgehammer.
As for the test itself, I was surprised when Luke put Ed's name on his paper. I'm very curious what kind of grade Luke/"Ed" got, since he tried to bet Tammy that he'd beat her. If Luke turns out to be some kind of Shakespeare genius, I will be very impressed. I think Tammy will, too.
I know it's a dorky thing to say, but I hope we find out their grades tonight on the SEASON FINALE of SLiDE! It's at 10pm et!!
SLiDE Wrap-Up: Episode 8Posted on 09/18/2012 by Lisa
In Episode 8, Ed found his dream girl and his dream car, but let's talk about what happened next! If you haven't seen the episode, watch it before you read any further. Spoilers below!
While I love Ed's bright yellow car (My car is yellow, too.), I understand that he can't take his dream girl to a fancy dance in a car that reeks. (My car, just for the record, smells nice.) While Ed's plan to break into the mall and cheat at winning the car was pretty sketchy, I loved how he urged his friends to help out for the sake of "future Ed and his stupidly hot wife." Haha. That's a pretty good argument. :)
I am NOT cool with the fact that Ed lied to Phillipa to get her to help, though. She may be dorky and annoying, but um... lots of people are. (*raises hand*) Ed treated her terribly in this episode. When he said that, as an old man, he'd look back on their "filthy treehouse scramble" and regret it, I felt like I was watching her heart break before my eyes. Painful stuff.
After everything Ed put Phillipa through, I think he deserved seeing that same "filthy treehouse scramble" on a giant TV at the mall, but of course, Tammy saw it, too. Tammy, Tammy, Tammy... You can do so much better than Ed! Let's cross our fingers and hope that instead of lowering her standards, Tammy finds someone who lives up to them.
Isn't this a great group photo? I love these kids. I'm going to miss them when SLiDE is over.
BTW, my favorite moment from tonight's episode was when Eva talked to her dad about being adopted, and she said, "Bet you sometimes wish you picked a different crib."
He replied, "We didn't get a choice. We just got lucky." Yup, I totally teared up at that.
Did you have any favorite moments from this episode? Let me know in the comments.
Only TWO MORE EPISODES of SLiDE, YOU GUYS!!! They air Wednesday and Thursday at 10pm et on TeenNick!
SLiDE Wrap-Up: Episode 6Posted on 09/18/2012 by Lisa
Let's talk about the pregnancy test, the tick, and everything else that happened in Episode 6 of SLiDE. If you haven't seen the episode, watch it before you read any further.
Why would a girl carry a positive pregnancy test around in her bag? Oh, right, because she's on a dramatic TV show, and if her bag spills out in front of her friends, it'll stir up all sorts of trouble.
During most of this episode, I felt like Scarlett was acting selfish and manipulative -- but I just remembered that the only reason she pretended the test was hers in the first place was because she'd never seen Eva look so scared. Deep down inside, Scarlett does care about other people! Of course, once she did that huuuuge favor for Eva, she found a way to make it work for her. I felt so bad for Luke when he thought she was pregnant, but I wish he had told Tammy the truth about hooking up with Scarlett right away.
If I were in Tammy's shoes in this episode, I would have freaked out even worse than she did about the Luke/Scarlett thing. I mean, she seemed angry, but... if I found out the guy I liked and one of my best friends had messed around on the couch in my house? I am shaking my head as I type this. Tammy needs a guy who won't hurt her. A nice guy, who's kind of dorky and sweet. (It sounds like I'm describing Ed, but I don't really see them together either... I want her to meet someone new.)
Ed had a rough time in this episode, too. As if it wasn't bad enough that he tried to fight an old man for the bathroom on the ferry (and LOST!), he got a tick bite in the worst possible place. This episode made me oh-so-glad that I'm not a guy -- especially at the very end, with that gross sound effect as the doctor pulled off the tick. Bllllararrrggggh. Poor Ed!
I can't end the post on that note, so let me also say: I loved the old woman who followed them off the ferry because she wanted to go to the music festival. The kids on this show seem pretty wild, but I get the feeling that lady might've been even wilder when she was their age. :)
New episodes of SLiDE air at 10pm et, Monday-Thursday this week. (If you've missed any episodes, get caught up!)
SLiDE Wrap-Up: Episode 7Posted on 09/17/2012 by Lisa
Is Scarlett really a "bad seed from a bad apple," as the principal says? Let's talk about Episode 7! (If you haven't seen it, watch it before you read any further.)
I feel like we got to know Scarlett a lot better in this episode, especially after she decided to move out and try to make it on her own. When she started searching for jobs online, and was looking for things like "personal shopper," I felt a tiny bit bad for her. She's lived such a sheltered, rich-girl life that she's completely out of touch with reality.
Tammy thinks that Scarlett gets everything she wants, but does she really? In this episode, she got her friends to blow off studying, she convinced Tammy's mom to let her move in, and she ended up getting exactly what she wanted from her parents. It's hard to be jealous of her, though, especially after what she walked in on at the hotel!
Did you notice that as soon as Scarlett was out of the picture, the rest of the group all went their separate ways? I'm glad she didn't end up moving back to Melbourne, because this show wouldn't be the same without her.
Lots more SLiDE is coming your way this week: New episodes air at 10pm et Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! (Go here if you need to get caught up.)
SLiDE Wrap-Up: Episode 5Posted on 09/10/2012 by Lisa
On the latest SLiDe, the gang steal a statue and stir up all sorts of trouble. Watch it here if you haven't seen it.
Here are my favorite moments (and a few random thoughts) from Episode 5. Share yours in the comments.
I love this picture of Luke and Tammy.
Luke and Tammy seem so good together, despite their different attitudes about dating. Tammy wants "an understanding of the person I'm spending time with," but Luke cares more about the hooking up. I loved the scene where Luke tried to act sensitive to impress Tammy, and she saw right through it. My favorite moment from this episode was probably when she took pictures of his sulky face with her phone. Affectionate teasing is the cutest! :)
I'm glad they went with Eva to meet her brother.
I am SO glad Eva had friends with her when she went to meet her brother for the first time. That sounds nervewracking. Luke's family situation seems stressful, too. We've seen Tammy, Scarlett, and Ed's families in previous episodes... maybe lots of family drama is something these characters all have in common? (Or maybe it's something EVERYBODY has in common? Does anyone in the world have a "normal" family? Sometimes I doubt it.)
Yay for swimming in undies!
As someone who loves swimming, I would be shocked if one of my friends had a pool and never bothered to mention it. I totally understood everyone's need to rip off their clothes and jump in Luke's pool right away.
The gang looks for Ed's shoe.
I thought the funniest part of this episode was when Ed confessed his attraction to the lady voice in his dad's GPS system... and then later, his father asked "Have you seen the GPS? It's missing from the car." OH, ED. I totally ship Ed and the GPS, though. Maybe they'll fall in love and have babies with a really good sense of direction. Haha.
Tom the Fireman, lookin' stylish.
Stealing the statue seemed easy compared to how hard they had to work (and how sneaky they had to be) to give it back. Sometimes life is weird like that.
What did you like best about this episode?

Episode 5 of SLiDE airs this Friday at 10:30pm et on TeenNick!
SLiDE Wrap-Up: Episode 4Posted on 09/02/2012 by Lisa
Things got wiiiild on SLiDE this week. Let's talk about Episode 4!(Haven't seen it? Watch it here.)
Tammy in a visor, Ed in a banana costume.
I feel like so much happened in this episode! I'm glad Ed walked away from the job where he had to dress as a banana, even if he looked pretty cute in that costume. (I just had a flashback to Tori and Zig talking about how bad the mascot costumed smelled on Degrassi. Yuck.)
Luke can rock a bowtie.
Catering seems like a lot more fun, especially when it involves hanging out in a mansion. The party didn't seem like fun for Ed's dad, though. His storyline made me sad, despite his big win at cards. :(
Speaking of dads, can you believe how Scarlett messed with her dad's head with that whole "Gisele" thing? Do you think he deserved it? It was pretty lame of him to tell such a huge lie in his online dating profile. I wonder if his relationship with Scarlett will ever get better. Maybe... if they stop lying to each other.
I want that blue bunny-lamb thing on the right.
On a happier note, it was neat to see the thrift store where Eva works, and I loved this bit of conversation:
Scarlett: "This is where clothes come to die. It's like a sad fashion graveyard."
Eva: "No, it's where fashion comes to be reborn and recycled."
(I'm with Eva! I love thrift stores. )
Rob and Ed? Their couple name could be Red.
Ed continues to be my favorite character on SLiDE. He had so many great awkward moments in this episode! From that unforgettable coat closet scene, to pretending to be "Louise" to get into the club, to the moment where he grabs his boss and kisses him... his life just keeps getting crazier and crazier, and I LOVE IT.
Luke and Tammy.
Tammy and Luke seem like they're finally getting together. No surprise there, but this episode was full of unexpected hook-ups: Scarlett and the girl in the club, Ed and his boss, Ed and Eva...
RANDOM QUESTION: In this episode, Ed was attracted to at least five people. Which one of them do you think he'd make the best couple with?
*Rob (his boss at the party)

SLiDE Wrap-Up: Episode 3Posted on 08/29/2012 by Lisa
Let's talk about Episode 3 of SLiDE! (Watch it here if you haven't seen it. Spoilers below!)
In this episode... Tammy and Ed spent some time alone in the dark. Eva met a guy (who's a LOT older). Luke and Scarlett bonded while babysitting.
Random thoughts about Episode 3, in no particular order:
1. Tammy's mom kills me!! I loved almost every word out of her mouth (though I'm sure I'd have died of misery and embarrassment if she were my mom and saying these things, especially if she said them in front of Luke). "There's condoms in the top drawer... and they're flavored, I think." Anybody out there have a mom who talks that openly about sex stuff? Is it cool or incredibly awkward?
2. The scene where you see Tammy trying to get a wifi signal on her laptop, and the screen shows us the signal level. I know that feeling SO WELL. I've balanced my laptop on many windowsills, but the fridge door thing? That seemed a little risky.
3. I love that Tammy has such good friends that when she mass-texted about her desperate need for a babysitter, ALL of her best friends showed up. Willingness to babysit at a moment's notice? That's true friendship.
4. Although I think Ash is WAY WAY WAY too old for Eva (he's got to be in his 40's and she's in high school!!), I really liked when he asked her if it was an "encore situation," and then explained what he meant. That was very cute, in a way that made me wish he wasn't WAY too old for her -- not to mention married. Sigh.
5. I sort of wish Eva could sneak me into an art museum at night. That sounds like a lot of fun.
6. I really liked the band name Last Dinosaurs, so I googled them, and what do you know? They're a real band. I thought they might just be a fictional band created for the show.)
7. I loved that Tammy's little brother likes wearing dresses.
8. I love the friendship between Tammy and Eva. It made me happy that Tammy left the rock show to check on Eva, and it made me even happier that Eva forced her to go back inside so she could write a good article about the show. YAY FRIENDSHIP!

SLiDE: A few pics from Episode 3Posted on 08/23/2012 by Lisa
Episode 3 of SLiDE airs Friday at 10:30pm et. In the meantime, check out a few pictures from the new episode.
Ed makes a smooshy face.
Eva's lip stuff matches her hair.
Tammy makes me wonder if I need a denim vest. (If I get one, I'd be the only person I know who wears one.)
I kind of want to pat Luke's hair. Is that weird?

Most of these are special order items that we are able to procure only after these items have been issued to the cadet wing. We will be pleased to try to fill your order but cannot guarantee that any specific item will be available.
13. What is the difference between the AOG's Bed and Breakfast Program and the Academy's Sponsorship Program?
These are two separate and distinct programs. The AOG's Bed & Breakfast Program is a limited duration program. In-coming appointees traveling alone to Colorado Springs are offered an opportunity to stay with a local graduate or USAFA family the night before they report to the Academy. The host family picks up the appointee, keeps him/her for the night and delivers the appointee to Inprocessing at Doolittle Hall. This allows the appointee to avoid spending their last night before Basic Cadet Training (BCT) alone in a strange town without any friendly support. Host families participating in this program make the appointees feel comfortable and reduce their anxiety with the support of someone who knows about it all first hand. The host is not expected to continue as the sponsor family during the appointee's tenure at the Academy. Hosts who do wish to sponsor the appointee they hosted must register with the Cadet Sponsor Program office.
The Cadet Sponsor Program is an official Academy program that is designed to provide cadets with an avenue to form friendships and gather support beyond the formal Academy environment. Rigorous Academy standards can tax even the best of spirits, producing feelings of great stress to make the grade in some cadets, and in others, moments of loneliness, homesickness and doubt. Cadet sponsors provide a home-away-from-home during a cadet's years at the Academy. Sponsors serve as the cadet's mentor, friend, and advisor, providing a caring environment in which to relax away from the pressures of the Academy. Sponsors also serve as a positive adult role model helping cadets understand their role as a career Air Force officer and reinforcing positive social values. The Sponsorship Office can be reached at (719) 333-2727. This program is sponsored by the Embassy Suites, Colorado Springs.
14. Where can I find admissions information?
The Academy Admissions Office website is http://academyadmissions.com/
15. How do I get a copy of my cadet records/transcripts or get my diploma repaired/replaced?
Contact the USAFA Office of the Registrar at (719) 333-3970 or DSN 333-3970.
Also go to www.usafa.af.mil, Click on Academics >> Registrar >> Customer Services>> Records Requests
16. Does my cadet time count when computing service years for retirement (or other) purposes?
Generally, cadet time can not be used for computing length of service for any purpose. Federal law (US Code, Title 10, Section 971) says "Service credit: officers may not count service performed while serving as a cadet or midshipman." Subsequent sub-paragraphs discuss this issue in more depth.
17. How do I contact agencies and offices at the Air Force Academy?
Our AOG website contains many commonly called numbers: Academy Phone Numbers. You may also call the Academy Directory Assistance at (719) 333-1110, or call AOG Customer Service and we will attempt to help you.
18. When does my cadet get released for Thanksgiving/Winter/Spring Break?
The Academy scheduling sets the dates for release for the holiday breaks and cadets are not released until after the last military duty (LMD) or last final, whichever is later. Since departures will vary for each cadet, the cadet or the Squadron AOC are the best persons to determine when the cadet can leave.
19. How can I get my cadet to the airport?
Contact the Outdoor Recreation Center in Vandenburg Hall, (719) 333-3138/4602, to arrange for transportation to and from the airports during the Thanksgiving and Winter Breaks.
20. When is graduation?
Under current practices, the graduation ceremony is always scheduled for the Wednesday after Memorial Day. The earliest date would be May 27 and the latest date would be June 2. Consult a calendar for the specific year in which you are interested.
21. Can I arrange for a tour of the Academy?
The Academy, the Visitor Center, the Cadet Chapel, the Field House and the Athletic Department Hall of Excellence are open to the public. If the security threat increases, access to the Academy may be restricted. Access to the Cadet Area is restricted at all times and a military ID card is insufficient to gain access. Graduates may tour the Cadet Area during reunions. AOG members may arrange for tours of the cadet area by calling (719-472-0300) or emailing AOG Customer Service.

An armed robbery suspect police had been searching for was arrested at a Loaf 'N Jug store late Friday night.
Vertis Allen, 32, was at a Loaf 'N Jug on Bonforte Boulevard scratching lottery tickets at about 11:50 p.m.
Police had received a theft report the previous day about a black male in his early 30s who stole several lottery tickets from behind the counter of a Shell station on Bonforte, according to a police report.
The man scratching the lottery tickets looked similar to the suspect police saw on security video from the incident at the Shell station.
Police also said the clothes Allen was wearing matched the description of a suspect who robbed a Family Dollar store on Bonforte while brandishing a gun earlier in the evening on Friday.
Officers approached Allen and asked to speak with him. When he turned toward them, they saw the bottom plate of a handgun sticking out of his waistline.
The weapon was immediately seized and Allen was taken into custody.
It was later determined that the weapon was a BB gun that was designed to look like a real firearm, according to police.
The gun looked similar to the one shown in the Family Dollar's security video.
The clerk who filed the report from the Family Dollar store was able to positively identify Allen as the man who robbed the store.
Allen was arrested on suspicion of aggravated robbery.
He was being held at Pueblo County jail without bail pending a court appearance.

Jenni Glauser
Current Position:
Aerospace Engineer at Pratt & Whitney
I love the feeling when I solve a really complicated problem. I also like when people ask what I do and I say "I'm an aerospace engineer." They are always so shocked! People don't expect girls to go into engineering – but we can prove that the stereotypes are wrong!
Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineer
August 7, 2012
Her job: Aerospace Engineer
Describe what you do in your current work situation?
I am an Aerospace Engineer working in the Flight Test group for the F35 Joint Strike Fighter military jet. I look at the jet engine data after a flight and make sure the temperatures and pressures inside the engine behaved normal and everything looks good. I then send my approval to the government so they know that the engine is working as expected and that they can safely move on to the next test flight.
Why did you choose engineering?
I have always loved math and science. I had a teacher in high school who was an engineer. He told me one day that I should look into engineering. I realized right away that is was the path for me. Not only do you get to learn math and science, but you get to apply what you learn to make really cool things.
Where did you go to school and what degree(s) do you have?
I have a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah - go Cougars!
What do you like best about being an engineer?
I love the feeling when I solve a really complicated problem. I also like when people ask what I do and I say "I'm an aerospace engineer." They are always so shocked! People don't expect girls to go into engineering – but we can prove that the stereotypes are wrong! :-)
What challenges have you met and conquered in your pursuit of an engineering career?
I will be honest; getting an engineering degree is a lot of work. There were many times during college that I was at school late when my friends were off doing fun things. At times I thought of switching majors to something that took less time. But I am sooooo glad I stuck with it! Finding a job that I love was really easy and I make a lot more money than most people my age. It has been such a blessing in my life
Please tell us a little about your family.
I married my best friend, Jake! He is also an engineer! We met in the Mechanical Engineering program at BYU. During all the long hours of studying for class we became best friends and we were married our senior year of college. We both worked for the same aerospace company until he decided he wanted to get a master's degree in business. So we moved across the country so he could go to school. I was able to keep my job and telecommute from home. About a year after moving we had our baby girl, Scarlett. She is so much fun and we love her so much!
What are your short-term (1-2 years) and long-term (10+ years) goals?
Once my husband finishes school and gets a job I am going to quit my job and be a stay at home mom. I know it will be a huge sacrifice (cause I really do love my job), but I want to raise and teach my children. I want to be there for them like my mom was for me. The great thing with engineering is that once my children are in school I will be able to find a part-time job. Also, there is great peace in knowing that if something were to happen I could get a job and support my family. Maybe in 10 years I'll go back to school and get a master's degree in engineering, but I haven't decided yet.
What (or who) had/has the greatest influence on your life choices?
My wonderful parents, my amazing husband, my awesome family, and God.
What advice would you give to a young woman considering a career in engineering?
Get involved! Find a club/team/group/project/mentor. Find someone who is doing something with engineering and get involved. When I was in high school I rebuilt a '66 mustang with my dad, I raced go-karts, I made a bridge out of toothpicks, I built a fighter robot, and I was in many clubs. It helps to get some hands-on experience to see what engineering is all about. If your school doesn't have clubs, start one! Talk with your science teacher and see if they have any ideas. Ask local engineers to come to your class and tell about their jobs.
Describe something about your life outside of work: your hobbies, or perhaps a favorite book.
I love spending time with my family. I love doing crafts and scrapbooking. I really enjoy coloring and changing my hair. I love painting my nails cool designs. I spend a lot of time providing service to others through my church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: mormon.org).

I've been using the BGE for pizza for years ... I've tried a bunch of different ways to set up the BGE for pizza ... my latest setup is platesetter- legs down, then an inverted 2" deep aluminum pizza pan ..then the stone on top of that. This raises the stone a little higher in the dome for better char on the top of the pie.

3.8.1 auto update rollout
I'll be using this thread to track the rollout of automatic background updates for 3.8.1, released earlier.
The WP.org API is now sending update instructions to about 1 in every 128 sites. This is for all locales (not just English). 3.8.1 was released about four hours ago and I'd like to have the rollout complete in the next six hours or so. Sites check WP.org every 12 hours, but this timetable means all sites should be updating within one day of the initial release.
So, why a slow rollout? Well, we're monitoring a number of things that would cause us to put a pause on auto-updates, such as whether there were any critical issues in 3.8.1, whether update failure rates are higher than usual, how WP.org is handling the load, etc. The rollout is happening much faster this time than last time (3.7.1), and yes, the goal will be to eventually push out auto-update instructions immediately.
So far, we've seen a 100% success rate for about a thousand auto-updates to 3.8.1, and north of 99% for one-click updates. (A reminder: a failure only means the site couldn't update, not that it broke.) I'll comment to this thread with more numbers as the rollout continues.

Good to the last shot
Saturday was an exciting day for Alpena High School's Ugis Skuja. Not only did the Latvian exchange student get to hear his national anthem sang before the game for a second time, but he was also able to score his first goal of the season in a 5-5 tie with Hudsonville in the Booster Tournament's Consolation game.
Skuja experienced all of this on his 18th birthday.
"It is probably the greatest birthday of my life and I'm only 18," he said.
The first period saw Alpena come out strong with a solid shot 30 seconds into the period. Hudsonville wasn't going down without a fight and kept up a strong offensive and defensive pressure throughout the period.
Hudsonville scored the first goal of the night at just under four minutes into the game off a Ryker Barber shot. He was assisted by Kevin Carlson.
Alpena then had back to back penalties at six minutes into the game which kept them under-manned for two and a half minutes. They successfully killed the penalty and scored less than 20 seconds later with 8:11 left in the period.
Zach Nash scored Alpena's first goal with an assist by Jared Plume and Skuja. It was to be his first goal of the night.
The fans went crazy as the game started back up but Hudsonville scored in just under 10 seconds off a Carlson assisted Kollen Bayko goal.
The second period saw Alpena assert dominance over Hudsonville. The defense kicked up a lot of solid pressure that brought the puck back into Alpena territory time and time again.
This paid off with their second goal of the night at just eight minutes into the period. Plume scored his first and only goal of the night off an assist by the defensively strong Sam Rumbles.
The second period went off without a hitch for the Wildcats until the last minute. Fans were shocked when Hudsonville's Hunter Ellens scored a Adam Jorgensen assisted goal with 38.5 seconds to go in the period.
They were even more shocked when Nick Scott scored off a pass by Austin Forest 14 seconds later to take Hudsonville to a demanding 4-2 lead.
Fans may have felt deflated by such a quick turn-around but the Wildcats charged hard against Hudsonville in the third and the pressure paid off with two goals in under two minutes.
The first goal of the period was Skuja's at just over five minutes into the period. Fans broke into a chant of "happy birthday" as the sirens roared. He was assisted by Kam Russell.
The second one came just under two minutes later off the stick of Rumbles who garnered an assist from Plume and Nash.
Alpena was back in the game. They stayed very disciplined and penalty free against an aggressive and defensively strong Hudsonville team.
Hudsonville showed off their offensive aggressiveness with their fifth and last goal of the night off a Bayko scored goal that came from with an assist from both Jorgensen and Scott.
The Wildcats pulled the goalie with just a minute left to go. They kept the puck close to the net and out of their territory.
Nash began skating towards the goal with just under 30 seconds left in the game. Suddenly he found himself airborne.
"I noticed nobody was in front of me or behind me so I went for the goal. Somebody tripped me and I was flying through the air. I decided to take the shot anyways," he said.
Somehow Nash was able to connect with the puck strong enough to send it past Hudsonville's goalie. The stadium erupted in cheers at Alpena earned a tie at the last minute.
A tie may not have been exactly what Alpena wanted but it still felt good to head coach Pete Doubek.
Nash was rewarded for his efforts by earning the third place "star" for the game. Barber of Hudsonville got the second star while Bayko got first.
Anchor Bay won the Boosters championship game between C.A.A.S. 4-2

The Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) working group, the organization dedicated to simplifying integration of NAND flash memory into various devices, has published the new ONFI 3.0 standard. By using the non-volatile DDR2 (NV-DDR2) interface, the newly ratified standard reaches speeds of up to 400 MB/s, doubling the current NAND interface transfer rates.
"The new ONFI 3.0 technology supporting interface transfer rates of up to 400MB/s is a key NAND capability to support future SSD design" said Knut Grimsrud, Intel fellow and director of storage architecture.
The ONFI 3.0 standard details the interface and infrastructure that ONFI's more than 100 members can employ to develop products that deliver the industry's fastest NAND interface. Improvements in ONFI 3.0's NAND interface speeds will also enable future NAND controllers to achieve similar performance with half the number of channels, providing both a cost and space savings, which are key requirements for solid-state drive (SSD) design. The ONFI 3.0 incorporates a sophisticated die selection feature that reduces the number of chip enable (CE) pins, which in turn lowers the number of controller pins making PCB routing more efficient. Reducing the number of CE pins is especially important for SSDs, providing a significant cost reduction and allowing the extra pins to be assigned to other applications within the system.
Like previous ONFI standards, ONFI 3.0 is designed with simplicity in mind for NAND-based devices and is backwards compatible with previous ONFI standards. In future versions, ONFI 3.0 will also support the ECC Zero (EZ-NAND) interface, which removes burden of the host controller having to keep pace with the fast changing ECC requirements of NAND technology.
"ONFI 3.0 doubles the bus speed which is critical to delivering high-performance solid state storage solutions across all compute application needs, especially for given capacity footprints as NAND die density and page sizes increase. Furthermore the innovative measures taken to reduce pin count will help drive system improvements in cost and complexity. We are proud supporters of the ONFI specification and are working on delivering an SSD processor solution fully embracing this new interface capability in 2012," said Steffen Hellmold, vice president of business development for SandForce.

Today was the women's semi-final. Same format as yesterday; but with fewer women in the competition, there were only two groups. In each group, 18 make it into the final.
The sole women's competitor for the US was 17 year old Margaux Isaksen. Margaux, affectionately nicknamed Mango by teammates, represented the US in the 2008 Olympics. This year, she has really come on strong, completing the World Cup season ranked in the top 10. She also won a bronze medal at the 2009 Junior World Championships. Given the outstanding season she has had, we did not expect much drama to unfold today. And we were right.
Margaux destroyed the field in the first two thirds of the fence, leading the pack with 7 touches to go. Then, she struggled and only hit one of her last 7 opponents, but still finished in the top ten. Swimming was next, and Margaux posted a 2:19 on my watch (the score board was broken, so I am not exactly sure what her official time was). That's a bit slow for her, and I expect we will see a faster swim in the final. Finally, she entered the combined run/shoot in 6th place with a pretty large gap between her and 19th place. In shooting, Margaux had a really tough time, but her lead and strength in running were more than enough to overcome the damage done on the shooting range. In the end, she only ran hard the first two 1,000m laps and easily jogged her way into the final on Sunday.
Now back to my update from yesterday. Overall, it was a great day for the US Men's Team. While I have taken the year almost completely away from training, some other athletes have really stepped up their training and it showed.
Will Brady gets the award for the biggest standout performance of the competition so far. Will has been living in Colorado Springs and training at the OTC for somewhere between three and four years, but has never broken into the top tier of international pentathlon... until yesterday. Battling two training injuries, Will posted career bests in his fence (nearly 900 points) and swim (2:07). Then, starting in 9th place in what I picked as the toughest semi-final grouping, he posted a solid combined time and secured his slot in the final of his first ever World Championships.
Sam Sacksen was in my semi-final group. He had a solid fence at a bit over 800 points, but clocked a disappointing 2:13 swim time. However, he has picked up the combined event really well already and was able to move from around 20th before the event to 11th. His first place performance in the combined event was enough for a berth in the final. That is his first World Championships final as well.
Dennis Bowsher was in the last semi-final group of the day. Struggling, but staying alive in the fence, he ended the event with somewhere around 750 points. Next up was the swim. I had predicted that he could go around 2:02 given that he has been absolutely crushing me in practice the past few weeks. However, he was out slow and never recovered, ending in a 2:06. But he was still alive going into the final combined run/shoot event, starting in 18th place. After the first round, he was within about 10 seconds of 12th place. But a poor second and third round of shooting dropped him farther back, and he finished in 20th place. Had he finaled here, it would have been his second World Championships final, but he will have to wait another year.
All in all, it was a solid day for the US Team. In 2005, the year after the Athens Olympics, the US Team had no athletes in the finals at Worlds. This year, we have two men and one woman. For our program, this is a great way to start a new quad as we push toward the 2012 Olympics.

30-Mile Pot Pie
Recipe courtesy of Chef Jerry Chollet, The Painted Giraffe Restaurant, St. Louis, MO
- The Best Of
- 6 1/2 cups 'hearty' chicken stock or broth
- 6 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 stick butter
- 2 1/2 cups diced onions
- 2 1/4 cups diced carrots
- 1 3/4 cups diced celery
- 1/2 pound medium mushrooms, quartered
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, or 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, warmed
- Store-bought puff pastry or pie dough
- 2 egg whites
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan, bring stock or broth to a simmer. Add chicken and poach until just cooked through. With a spider or slotted spoon, remove chicken and set aside. Set stock aside for later use.
In a 10-quart saucepot, melt butter over medium heat and then add onions, carrots, and celery and saute for a couple of minutes. Add mushrooms and continue to cook until onions are about transparent, being careful not to brown. Add flour and gently mix well. Cook this mixture over low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally and gently so as not to break up the vegetables. Scrape the bottom of the pan often with a wooden spoon so that the roux doesn't burn. Increase the heat and add the chicken stock in 3 additions, whisking well after each so that no lumps appear and returning to a brief simmer each time.
Add bay leaf, salt, and pepper, and cook over low heat for about 10 more minutes. Add poached chicken and warm heavy cream, and stir well. Spoon equal portions into 6 individual (16-ounce) ovenproof casserole dishes or bowls. Top with your favorite pie dough or puff pastry.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 egg whites with a little water. Brush dough with egg wash. Place casseroles on a sheet pan and bake until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Professional Recipe: This recipe was provided by a chef, restaurant or culinary professional and makes a large quantity. The Food Network Kitchens chefs have not tested this recipe in the proportions indicated and therefore cannot make any representation as to the results.

Trivia Weekend 2012
Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Banks of phones and computers help volunteers score the 50-hour contest.
St. Cloud State's 50-hour trivia contest on KVSC 88.1 FM returns Feb. 10-12 with a vinyl recordings focus.
"33 1/3: Trivia Long-Play" is the theme for the 33-year-old contest, which drew 71 teams in 2011.
As of Feb. 2, 56 teams were registered, including defending champion Mustache and past winners Pull-Start Diesel, Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women, and Sigma Phi Nothing.
This weekend expect questions on LPs, 45s and 78 RPM records and all the nostalgia that comes with them.
- Visit the registration page
- Read the contest rules and regulations
- Follow the #TriviaWeekend hashtag on Twitter
- Learn the history of the contest and meet its heroes
- Email email@example.com to volunteer at the contest
Volunteers can expect to work three-hour shifts and are needed throughout the weekend. About 40 local businesses provide food for volunteers throughout the weekend. Volunteers who put in 15 hours or more get a free 33 1/3: Trivia Long Play T-shirt.
Since 1980, the contest has evolved into one of St. Cloud State's most vibrant subcultures, a heady brew of alumni, friends of the university, employees and students, bound together by friendship, competitive urges and a fascination with facts.
Subculture? Witness the eccentric team names that grace the Golden Urn, the Stanley Cup of collegiate trivia contests: Ultra Voilet Catastrophe, Stefan's Dreamsicle, the Mime Radio Conspiracy and Those Meddlin' Kids.
Music sets St. Cloud State's trivia contest apart from competitors such as the Williams Trivia Contest at Williams College, Williamstown, Mass., and the Great Midwest Trivia Contest at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis.
KVSC has a house band, the Shake a Hamster Band, that performs during the contest and at the wrap party. The Shake a Hamster Band is a collection of semi-anonymous, professional musicians who've worked the contest for more than two decades, writing, recording and performing parody songs, including "Trivia Tom," a hilarious knockoff of Peter Schilling's 1983 one-hit wonder "Major Tom." Core members include Muggsy Lauer, Jeff Engholm, Nathan Nesje '98, George Maurer and Ted Chopp '94.
Wesley Beskar and Derrick Silvestri '06 designed the "33 1/3 Trivia Long Play" artwork. Beskar, who hails from Eagan, is a UTVS/Husky Productions engineer and producer. Silvestri, the UTVS advisor, manages the television studio.
UTVS, the university's student-run cable television station, is seen on Charter channel 21, and streamed live at www.utvs.com/21/live.asp. Husky Productions manages home hockey broadcasts from the National Hockey Center.

quote donmonsterA game that is not so big on multiplayer but is worth checking out is Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.What else is everyone playing online now a days? I can't seem to find anything worth a shit to play. I get on battlefield here and there a couple times a week. I've been playing some forza 4 and I have Borderlands 2, but I hate playing with Randoms. All my friends either played it out or don't even have it.
So what other games have good online quality? Doesn't matter the genre. I'm not real big on Gears because of the 3rd person aspect. And I find halo to be unbearable to play.
quote Serene GuardianFawkes never dies......I'd just run into a place and loot it while Fawkes fought everyone. I've tried to mini-nuke him and everything...I disagree with Fawkes part. Yeah, sure he makes just brute forcing your way through the game easy but he also makes sneaking impossible Along with the fact you need positive karma to get him (which albeit easy, not all characters can do that). Imo, Charon or Clover are better companion.

Burglar In Grants Pass Arrested After Standoff
An incident that started with a homeowner walking in on a burglary, ended with the suspect surrendering after a 3 hour stand-off with police. 21-year old Michael Ryan Quigley of Grants Pass is in Josephine County Jail, charged with a home invasion robbery of a residence in the 2000 block of NW Kip Lane Monday afternoon.
Homeowner Gary Lilla told police when he arrived home, he had seen it had been forcibly entered. He contacted his neighbor, Scott Iverson, who came over to assist him. When the two encountered Quigley inside, Lilla says the suspect threatened them with a small pistol before fleeing on foot with stolen property.
With help from alert citizens, police say they were able to track the suspect's movements and later found him at 784 NW Carol Drive. Officers demanded Quigley come out, but he refused.
A SWAT team was activated to help authorities. After Quigley refused several demands to come out, he finally surrendered after a phone call from police without further incident.

UCLA Law has long been a leader in the interdisciplinary study of law. The School's joint degree programs are an important component of this interdisciplinary focus. Through our joint degree programs, students augment their legal education and gain specialized training and expertise that will prepare them for wide-ranging professional pursuits.
Formal Joint Degree Programs
Students at UCLA Law may choose to pursue one of the eight formal joint degree programs we offer in cooperation with other distinguished UCLA professional schools and departments. Our formal joint degree programs include Law & African-American Studies, Law & American Indian Studies, Law & Management, Law & Philosophy, Law & Public Health, Law & Public Policy, Law & Social Welfare, and Law & Urban Planning.
Individually Tailored Joint Degree Programs
Students may also elect to design an individually tailored joint degree program, either drawing from the multiple disciplines in UCLA's vast curriculum or seeking approval for a joint degree program with another high-quality school or university. In the past, the UCLA School of Law has approved programs that offer concurrent plans of study over four years leading to a J.D. and an M.A. with the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, and the Woodrow Wilson School of International Studies at Princeton University. Students interested in pursuing these joint degree programs will also need to gain individual approval from those institutions.
How to Apply
To pursue one of our formal joint degree programs, students must apply both to UCLA Law and directly to the other school. Applicants should contact the appropriate graduate school or department to obtain its application, and must meet the department's requirements and deadlines. Students interested in creating an individualized joint degree program, or pursuing a joint degree program with another university, will work with the Office of the Dean of Students during their first or second year of law school to seek approval for the joint degree.

Corsair Memory, a leading maker of advanced memory modules, on Tuesday followed some of its rivals with high-speed 4GB memory modules that can operate at high clock-speeds. The new memory modules enable high-capacity memory kits and allow end-users to install up to 24GB of memory into high-end systems.
Corsair's new 4GB DDR3 modules can operate at 1333MHz with CL9 9-9-27 latency settings and 1.65V voltage. The Corsair Dominator 24GB kit (CMD24GX3M6A1333C9) features six 4GB modules to provide ultimate amount of random access memory for a triple-channel memory sub-system featured on Intel Core i7 microprocessors. The 24GB Dominator memory kit features Corsair's patented DHX+ heatsink technology along with airflow fan.
Although Dominator branding suggests that the 24GB kit is aimed at performance enthusiasts and even overclockers, the new set is designed for workstation users. Firstly, not a lot of consumer applications can take advantage of 24GB of memory; secondly, not a lot of enthusiasts can pay $1349.99 for a memory kit.
"Corsair's 24GB Dominator memory kit is perfect for high-performance computing applications, including computational research, HD digital content creation, working with multiple virtual machines, and other data-intensive applications," said John Beekley, vice president of technical marketing at Corsair.

Updated, Jan. 31, 7:18 p.m.
Columbia's capital campaign raised more than $6.1 billion, an Ivy League record for funds raised in a single campaign and the second largest sum raised by any university.
University President Lee Bollinger announced the final total of the campaign, which ended on Dec. 31, 2013, after eight years, in an email to alumni on Thursday.
Bollinger said that more than $1 billion was raised for student financial aid across all schools and colleges, almost another $1 billion was raised for 40 different facilities projects, and more than 260 professorships were endowed.
A full breakdown of the funds that will be going toward faculty, financial aid, research, and facilities will be announced April 3 at an event celebrating the campaign.
The campaign, launched in 2006, was originally conceived to raise $4 billion for all schools and colleges within the University, but that goal was increased by trustees over the years as funds kept flowing in. The campaign reached its $5 billion goal in the summer of 2012. A previous campaign, which ran from 1988 to the end of 2000, raised a little over $2.5 billion.
"None of us began this effort imagining we would exceed $6 billion," Fred Van Sickle, the executive vice president for University development and alumni relations, said in an email.
According to Jerry Kisslinger, the chief creative office in the Office of Alumni and Development, the largest donor was John Kluge, CC '37, who donated $400 million in 2007 to be used for scholarships.
Kisslinger said that nearly half the donors to the capital campaign were new donors. More than 128,000 new donors contributed to the campaign.
"There's been a tremendous emphasis in the past decade on both the University-wide energy and what schools are doing to engage their alumni," Kisslinger said.
"The Campaign shows that Columbia alumni respond to our invitations for engagement and to big ideas' that are transforming the University," Van Sickle said.
According to Bollinger's email, donors to the capital campaign spanned 141 countries and included 128,000 supporters who had not donated to the University previously.
While Columbia's $6.1 billion dwarfs the fundraising totals of Yale and Penn in their recent capital campaigns, Harvard is looking to set a new record of $6.5 billion with the five-year capital campaign that it launched in September 2013.
At the moment, Columbia's fundraising total is the largest sum raised by any university with the exception of Stanford, which raised $6.2 billion in its capital campaign that ended in 2011.
Van Sickle said that there are currently no plans to launch a new capital campaign, but that the University will continue to expand its fundraising efforts.
"The Campaign's conclusion and success inspires us to continue our efforts," Van Sickle said. "There are even more big ideas being contemplated now than in 2004."
yasemin.akcaguner@columbiaspectator | @y_akcaguner
Correction: An earlier version of this story said that more than half of the donations came from young alumni. They actually came from new donors. Additionally, an earlier version of this story misstated Jerry Kisslinger's title. Spectator regrets the errors.

Bill Extending County Timber Payments Passes House
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a one year extension of county payments that he helped secure in the transportation agreement. Oregon 2nd District Representative Greg Walden applauded the vote.
"The House today gave a lifeline to rural communities to keep essential services like law enforcement and schools up and running. The entire delegation worked together to get this done for Oregon," Rep. Walden said. "We can't rest now though—the clock is ticking. We will continue our bipartisan work on a long-term solution to create jobs in the woods to make our federally-forested communities self reliant once more for the long term."
Once passed by the Senate and signed into law by the President, the law will provide about $100 million for Oregon communities.
"It's getting harder and harder to eke out extensions of this program, though. There's a better way. We need a sustainable policy that works in our communities, works for our forests, and puts people back to work," Rep. Walden said. "With this one year funding approved, we can now focus our full attention on passing our Oregon forestry reform plan with Reps. DeFazio and Schrader and the Natural Resources Committee."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (April 19, 2007)
- USA Volleyball and U.S. Paralympics, a division of the U.S. Olympic Committee, announced today the nominees for the men's sitting volleyball team that will represent the U.S. at the 2007 Parapan American Games, Aug. 12-19 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The roster features nine players from the 2006 World Championships Team that finished ninth in Roermond, The Netherlands, the best final standing the U.S. men's team has ever registered at the event.
One of the three newcomers to the squad is James Stuck (New Kensington, Pa.), who was introduced to Paralympic sport through the USOC Paralympic Military Program in 2006. Stuck, who lost his right leg below the knee during a tour of duty in Iraq, recently moved to Edmond, Okla., to train at the University of Central Oklahoma, an official Paralympic Training Site.
