Many experimental approaches rely on controlling gene expression in select subsets of cells within an individual animal. However, reproducibly targeting transgene expression to specific fractions of a genetically defined cell type is challenging. We developed Sparse Predictive Activity through Recombinase Competition (SPARC), a generalizable toolkit that can express any effector in precise proportions of post-mitotic cells in Drosophila. Using this approach, we demonstrate targeted expression of many effectors in several cell types and apply these tools to calcium imaging of individual neurons and optogenetic manipulation of sparse cell populations in vivo.

So you managed to score a last minute trip to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, hooray! But, in all the excitement, you didn't get a chance to book transportation with Disney's Magical Express. Well not to worry, there are plenty of other options available to get you where you need to go.
When you arrive at Orlando International Airport (MCO), proceed to either the A or the B side of the airport, depending on your arriving airline. After you have you claimed your baggage head to the Ground Transportation Level (Level 1) in either terminal. From there, you can choose from a variety of transportation options, including renting a car, requesting an UBER, getting a taxi, arranging a private rental car or utilizing a share-ride van.
If you choose to go with a taxi or a shared-van, you can inquire with multiple companies in the transportation area. The shared-ride will set you back around $25 per person, one-way. So, I would suggest this would be the better option for smaller parties, or a couples only trip. Alternatively, if you would rather not share a ride, you can get a taxi to Disney for approximately $60, one-way.
If you prefer something a little more luxurious, you can opt for either a black car/SUV or an UBER Black. A black car will set you back about $60-80 depending on the company and the car type you choose. Along those lines, please note the UBER is available at Orlando International, but you can only request UBER black. For those that prefer to use the ride-sharing app, note that it will cost about $80, one way.
Lastly, if you prefer to have access to a car for the entirety of your trip, you can rent a car as well. A smaller, compact car will run as little as $15 per day (plus taxes and fees). You can also rent an SUV staring at around $25 per day.
If you want to research all the options before you arrive, you can check out Orlando International Airport's website at https://orlandoairports.net/parking-transportation/#local-transport. The site contains a list of available transportation options as well as contact details for them. You can also check out your favorite transportation sites for great deals. Finally, if you just want to wing it, feel free to grab a taxi or UBER when you arrive. Either way, I wish you a Magical vacation!

Things You Need To Know Before Going To College
Isn't it exciting to start college and experience what this new chapter of your life has to offer? While going to college sounds exciting, the real struggle begins when you don't prepare for it. Many individuals don't focus on the practical side of this journey and struggle to find a balance between studies and other areas of life. This situation can put you under severe stress, especially if you got admission to an overseas college. Apart from the typical checklist you find on your college's official website, there are other things you must know.

Killing Khashoggi and putting pressure on Biden: "Bin Salman punished"
«It is not only American voters who are closely watching whether Biden keeps his promises. Friends and foes around the world are watching his actions carefully, judging the strength of his convictions and calculating the circumstances in which comfort might push him to abandon our values. "It is the warning that Fred Ryan, the Washington Post editor for Jamal Khashoggi, gave to the president of the White House. , Explaining how his credibility is already at stake regarding the treatment of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, because "if he sees other tyrants in the Middle East, or anywhere else, Muhammad escapes from this brutal behavior without consequences, his hand will not only be strengthened. Rather, others will feel encouraged to do the same. "
Governance is more complicated than campaigning, and the new president is already testing it first-hand. While running for the White House, Trump was accused of bartering the values of American democracy in exchange for Riyadh's support. That is, abandoning the nuclear agreement with Iran, and turning a blind eye to Mohammed bin Salman's brutality against the opponents, in exchange for supporting the American withdrawal from the Middle East, and the peace plan between the Israelis and the Palestinians written by his son. -Law Jared Kushner. On the other hand, Biden promised to return human rights to the center of foreign policy, and thus deal with the Arabian Peninsula, which he described as a "pariah".
Now that he is president, he has kept his promise to release the CIA report accusing the crown prince of issuing the order to kill the barbaric Khashoggi in Istanbul, but he avoided punishing him. Because he wants to "recalibrate" the relationship with Riyadh, and talk to King Salman instead of his son, but he cannot afford to lose such an important ally, almost as Obama did.
The United States needs the Saudis, not just for energy supplies, but above all for regional balances. Achieving stability in the Middle East, keeping the terrorists in trouble, and encouraging a resumption of dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians to return to the two-state solution, would be impossible without them. As well as dealing with Syria after the great victory of Assad in the civil war, especially Iran. It is true that Washington wants to reopen the debate on the nuclear agreement, but Tehran is backing down, and for Biden to succeed, he needs to include other points in the negotiations, such as the intervention of the ayatollahs in the region or the missile program.
The president was shocked by the accusations of hypocrisy, now also launched by Khashoggi's partner, Hatice Genghis, by the letter asking the United States to punish Mohammed bin Salman. So he announced new initiatives yesterday, but the White House made it clear that it was only referring to the implementation details of measures that the State Department had already decided. Meanwhile, three names have been mysteriously deleted from the CIA report. Now Biden will have to find a way to combine principles with realism.

By Alex Lauzon from the "Course of Life" podcast
November is at our doorsteps, and Tuesday night brings along the moment when the college football season gets real – the first edition of the College Football Playoff Rankings. Sure, there are conferences to be won and bowl games to be assigned soon enough, but what we all want to know and are interested in is who gets into the final four and who gets the shaft. Every year these Tuesday rankings updates incite anger, debate, and intrigue, and the spotlight only gets more intense as we get deeper into the season. Georgia is delivering their usual dominance, Ohio State and Michigan are crashing into their season-ending rivalry for all the marbles, and after that…spots are up for grabs in November and December.
Week Nine included a stunner in Lawrence, Kansas that gave Oklahoma its first loss, while the rest of the big guns in CFB held serve another week. The Big 12 is wide open, there are questions about who is the team to beat in the PAC 12, and this weekend's games will further drive the narrative toward the college football playoff season. Let's dive in:
Must Watch "Main Screen" Games
#25 Kansas State @ #7 Texas (-4) – 12 pm ET – The Longhorns got along nicely without Quinn Ewers as backup Maalik Murphy fit the bill against BYU. Now he gets a Big 12 level test against the defending conference champions who would love to jump into the conversation with a win on Saturday. I'm not sure they have the firepower to score with UT but they could make it interesting with an early turnover.
#14 Missouri @ #1 Georgia (-16) – 3:30 pm ET – Missouri might be the quietest 7-1 SEC team in the history of college football, mainly because their starting schedule was tremendously soft. Now they get a chance to make a ton of noise as they head into Athens. The line shows you that there's very little thought of that from Vegas oddsmakers, who have Missouri as a bigger underdog than UGA's opponent last week in Florida, who they beat by 23.
#10 Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State (+6) – 3:30 pm ET – I know what you're thinking – it's too early for Bedlam. The craze-filled nickname for this age-old rivalry tells you how much this Saturday is in OKlahoma, but it;'s usually a few weeks later on the calendar. Regardless, both teams are 4-1 in the Big 12, and the Cowboys could insert themselves into the logjam at the top of the conference if they can clip a Sooners team reeling from a road loss last weekend.
#5 Washington @ #24 USC (+4) – 7:30 pm ET – Michael Penix Jr. and the Huskies are keeping the train on the tracks, but this Saturday could be a rock that derails if they're not in the right mindset. UW goes on the road to play Caleb Williams and the Trojans, who quite simply have an electric offense and a feeble defense. Your early reaction would be to predict a shootout for the ages here, and that may lend its hand to USC hanging tight in this spot.
#13 LSU @ #8 Alabama (-3.5) – 7:45 pm ET – Here is the primetime perfection we live for as CFB fans. It's LSu heading into Tuscaloosa to play the Crimson Tide, with both teams fully rested and coming off of a bye week. If I'm Nick Saban I'm zeroing in on Malik Nabers, the wideout that makes the LSU offense go all day and night. The line here shows that it's a toss-up game that comes down to the last few possessions.
Tier Two "Second Screen" Games
#3 Florida State @ Pittsburgh (+21.5) – 3:30 pm ET – The Pitt Panthers are quite overmatched and Jordan Travis should continue his torrid, but it's worth noting that Pitt played spoiler to Louisville in a very similar spot a couple of weeks ago. I'm not saying…I'm just saying – the Panthers can hang within three scores, right?
Army @ #17 Air Force (-18.5) – 2:30 pm ET – I'm the unofficial bandwagon leader for Air Force, the undefeated team that nobody's watched. I'm here to tell you they won (and covered) in a snow-filled game at Colorado State and now they stay home in the Mountains to host a fellow Armed Forces branch. You know who I'm riding with here – the team that would be in a 12-team playoff if it existed this season.
#23 James Madison @ Georgia State (+5.5) – 3:30 pm ET – A sneaky good matchup here in the Sun Belt featuring 6-2 and 8-0 programs. It's quite annoying that JMU is ahead of schedule and not even yet bowl-eligible as a CFB program, but that;'s not stopping them from mowing down everyone in their paths so far this year.
The "Tablet Game" Night Capper
#20 UCLA @ Arizona (+2.5) – 10:30 pm ET – Well, last week we had the Zona Wildcats in this same nightcap spot, the line was stinky, and sure enough Arizona won outright as a home dog against Oregon State. Now with UCLA coming into town, it's practically the same spread and spot. Ironically, I feel like a flip of mindset might be in order here.
Midnight Hawaii Snack is on a one-week hiatus after a Hawaii thrashing on the island, and the sadness to follow.
Week Nine Plays To Watch
(3-2 Last Week!)
Texas -4 – Maalik Murphy should improve on his debut and if the defense shows, they win.
Oklahoma -6 – I see this as a weirdly close game but the Sooners make more plays late to pull away and cover.
Pittsburgh +21.5 – Simply too many points for a team that's beaten top ACC talent this season already.
Air Force -18.5 – It may be a slog to get there but Army won't move it. Period.
UCLA -2.5 – Flipping on the Arizona take from last week, as they're not the team to do it two weeks in a row.

School Board Fills New World Languages Supervisor Position
The Board of Education on March 17 hired a veteran Spanish teacher to fill its newly created World Languages supervisor position.
Armando Quiroz most recently was the Supervisor of World Languages and ESL for the Summit school system, a position he held since May 2021
Quiroz begins his $103,500 position in Franklin on July 1.
"Throughout my career, I've dedicated myself to second language learning, to language acquisition and to furthering proficiency for all students," Quiroz told the Board after his appointment.
"I'm very excited for what's in store for the Franklin World Language Program; I'm humbled and very grateful for your confidence and consideration."
Schools Superintendent John Ravally said that there were "other interested parties" in Quiroz, but that "he chose us."
"Thank you for choosing us over all those other interested parties.," he said.

Mesotrione Under development for pre-emergence (at 100–225 g/ha) and post-emergence (at 70–150 g/ha) control of broad-leaved weeds, such as Xanthium strumarium, Ambrosia trifida, Abutilon theophrasti, and Chenopodium, Amaranthus and Polygonum spp., and some grass weeds, in maize.
Nicosulfuron selective post-emergence control in maize of annual grass weeds, including Setaria, Echinochloa, Digitaria, Panicum, Lolium and Avena spp., broad-leaved weeds, including Amaranthus spp. and Cruciferae, and perennials such as Sorghum halepense and Agropyron repens. Applied at 30–70 g/ha.
Fluroxypyr-meptyl is effective by post-emergence foliar application, controlling a range of economically important broad-leaved weeds (including Galium aparine and Kochia spp.) in all small grain crops, Rumex spp. and Urtica dioica in pastures, and Trifolium repens in amenity grassland. Directed applications are used against herbaceous and woody broad-leaved weeds in orchards (apple only) and plantation crops (rubber and oil palm), and broad-leaved brush spp. in conifer forests. Post-emergence, broadcast applications of fluroxypyr in maize up to the 6-leaf stage of the crop are used for control of Calystegia sepium, Convolvulus arvensis and Solanum nigrum. The meptyl and 2-butoxy-1-methylethyl esters have similar activity, the advantage of the latter being the wider range of formulation options that are available. Applied at 180–400 g a.e./ha.
Available Formulation:
Mesotrione 10% + Nicosulfuron 4% + Fluroxypyr-meptyl 8% OD
Applicable Crop:
10ML ~200L for liquid formulations

The company recorded strong sales growth in Europe (826,800 vehicles, +4.9%) and in the growth markets of China (341,000 vehicles, +4.9%) and Russia (81,500 vehicles, +30.7%).

This result demonstrates that the ŠKODA Strategy 2025 is effective; our product campaign is unfolding its power around the world. ŠKODA is growing sustainably and manageably despite the fact that 2018 presented numerous challenges for the entire industry, including the WLTP changeover. In 2019 we will continue our product campaign with several new models such as the SCALA, the production version of the VISION X and many more. At the same time, we are launching electromobility at ŠKODA this year with our first plug-in hybrid and the first all-electric car – a very special moment in our company's 124-year history."

The State
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Security teams at a South Carolina correctional facility uncovered a large stash of contraband Wednesday, seizing more than 50 pounds of tobacco and three dozen phones, SC Department of Corrections officials announced.
Officers from Goodman Correctional Institution, located at 4556 Broad River Road in Columbia, found the stash — six garbage bags filled with 56 pounds of tobacco, 37 cell phones and 37 chargers — on prison grounds. The estimated value was put at $140,000.
Police are investigating, the department said in a tweet.
Goodman Correctional Institution is a minimum security facility on Broad River Road in Columbia. As of Thursday, there are currently 355 inmates in the facility.
Visitation was suspended across the SCDC corrections system for 30 days in March in response to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. The following month, all visitation, volunteer, work release and labor programs were suspended through May.
There have been at least 60 positive cases of COVID-19 among inmates in the system, with 63 staff members testing positive as well. At Goodman, one staff member has tested positive, while no inmates have.
Prisons have seen some of the leading concentrated outbreaks of coronavirus cases during the pandemic, as inmates, staff members and deputies are in close confinement. In effort to stop the spread within facilities, SCDC said it has provided two masks to every inmate and taken other measures, such as increased screening, reduced intake and isolating symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals based on risk factors.

Re: Elysia from the Bahamas
September 13, 2005
From: Kathe R. Jensen
Dear Anne & Bill,
Concerning message #14645:
After looking at Anne's pictures of E. tuca [#14654]and E. papillosa [#14653], I now venture to say that the animal is the present message is definitely not E. tuca. The rhinophores are much to long, and the parapodia are held in a different manner. In E. tuca the parapodia always look as if they are glued together, except for the "chimney" in the middle. I am not sure whether it is E. papillosa or maybe an undescribed species. I had some arguments with Kerry Clark about the radular tooth shape of E. papillosa. He had collected animals in Bermuda, which I think were on Halimeda, and their teeth were much different from the ones I had collected from Penicillus in the Florida Keys. So there may be more than one very similar species.
Best wishes,
Jensen, K.R., 2005 (Sep 13) Re: Elysia from the Bahamas. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/14754Thanks Kathe,
I'll call it Elysia sp. 13.

I'll start off by confessing I underestimated this race, a bad idea for any ultra, but especially this one. I chose the Lookout Mountain 50 because of its scenery and … MORE
I'll start off by confessing I underestimated this race, a bad idea for any ultra, but especially this one.
I chose the Lookout Mountain 50 because of its scenery and historical links (Civil War), and because the elevation profile intrigued me. It appeared that the toughest part would be the front 18-mile loop, where you basically go down the mountain and right back up. The back 32 looked tame by comparison. (Spoiler alert: it is definitely not.)
I'd just done an ultra in Colorado, at altitude, with the same elevation gain in just 55K, and done just fine. And the 13:38 cutoff time is tighter than most, but I didn't anticipate any trouble with it. Well, folks, I scraped my sorry ass across the finish line with less than five minutes to spare. My feelings are somewhat assuaged by being the oldest finisher this year, and one of only six finishers over 60 in the last five years. Did I mention this is a tough race?
Here are some tactical and non-technical observations and ratings.
Course: Be prepared for a lot of steep drops and climbs, including a rope section, and several slippery creek crossings. And despite the race staff's heroic efforts in blowing leaves off the trail, there are enough hidden rocks and roots to make Baryshnikov face-plant. And be forewarned: the map shows 48+ miles, but the course was changed to nearly 52. Many of us found out at the final aid station. 44 miles is a tough place to get bad news.
Marking: I'd call it adequate, with few "confidence" flags. A couple of times I had to guess direction (correctly, whew) and nearly missed a couple of turns. Luckily for me, another runner was nearby both times and showed me the correct route.
Views: Terrific, from sweeping vistas to waterfalls, interesting rock formations, and Civil War monuments. It's a good thing my phone camera crapped out, because I didn't have time for selfies anyway. But I did enjoy the sights in passing.
Race production: Good pre-race communication. Aid stations don't have quite as much variety as other ultras I've run, but the keys – fruit, soda, salty stuff, broth – were all there. Plus campfires after dark. Not much at the finish line, though. And I have to take a point away for the course change without notice. A small thing in an otherwise very well run event.
Swag: in addition to a T-shirt I got a finisher's sweatshirt (no medal, which is fine), and a "vintage" plastic race cup from 2014. Awards are limited to top three overall and first in age group. They're custom-made and I haven't got mine yet, but that's okay. Finishing was reward enough.
Bottom line: I recommend the Lookout Mountain 50 for those looking for a new challenge. Train well, you'll need everything you got.

So as if it wasn't clear from my Instagram feed, I went to Paris. The home of bread and pastry and pretty much the best damn cakes in the word. Unfortunately, I cant eat any of that stuff. Why? Because I'm vegan! I know what you are thinking, crazy animal girl but really I'm vegan because I have no choice! I'm allergic to most foods ...which is bloody brilliant! I guess I'm a low key vegan and I really shouldn't be. I think because most of my friends eat meat and look at me like I'm a complete weirdo that I don't really talk much about it. Let's be fair vegans get a bad wrap for being preachy which isn't necessarily a bad thing. In reality its something that is really cool and I get to experience the best foods!!
Anyway the struggle of travelling anywhere or even going out for dinner is finding foods that are vegan. Paris, I thought would have nothing that I could eat! I was wrong. My first breakfast in Paris was literally life changing. I went to this small little café close to the place I was staying called Café Mareva. The café prides itself on being dairy free and sold the most amazing waffles! I was feeling super healthy that day and ordered a smoothie bowl- like the ones you see on Instagram and OMG! I died! I'm pretty sure if I tried making it myself I would end up making some toxic slush! However, I'm still going to try, it is so worth the struggle!
So if you are ever in Paris definitely track down this café it is so worth it!! #noregrets

TAGGED AS: Netflix, psychological thriller, streaming, strong female leads
The trope spreads like wine stains — or, wait. is it blood stains? — across a white table cloth, drip, drip, dripping over best-seller novels and movie adaptations and seeping into the fabric of television.
The woman, dead eyed with smudged mascara but still with hints to her happier, less-anxiety riddled days, stares longingly through paned glass. Maybe she's in a tattered robe. Maybe she has a psychological disorder like agoraphobia. Maybe she takes pills or drinks too much wine or lied once and now no one trusts her. Maybe she's all of these things and is so distracted she can't put on protective mitts to take one of her many matching casserole dishes out of the hot oven.
For everyone who has gotten sucked into books or movies like The Girl on the Train or The Woman in the Window, the new Netflix limited series The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window sees you, hears you, and wants to laugh with you.
(Photo by Colleen E. Hayes/Netflix)
The show's aim is to "very lovingly poke fun at some of the tropes or some of the predictability of female-led thrillers," said Woman in the House… star Kristen Bell, who is the series' sub-in for Emily Blunt or Amy Adams, who starred in film adaptations of those other books. (It's not lost on her that a lot of the actresses who play these parts are, like her, singers.)
The series is created by Rachel Ramras, Hugh Davidson, and Larry Dorf, with whom Bell worked on the TV Land comedy Nobodies and is directed by Michael Lehmann, who helmed the first episode of the revival of Bell's Veronica Mars for Hulu and is known for his own work in the thriller arena thanks to directing the cult classic Heathers.
(Photo by Colleen E. Hayes/Netflix)
The writers pitched this show to her with the title as is, which "elicited a giggle out of me," Bell told Rotten Tomatoes.
"The titles [of these projects] are formulaic. You know: The Woman in the Floorboards!," she laughed. "You can write within this formula and somehow it's completely bulletproof. It is still interesting. The whodunnit still matters. So the goal is to create a whodunnit that people care about. Because if we were just doing a satire, it would get old by the second episode."
These stories, "particularly the ones written by women for women" Bell said, feature "a sympathetic female character who's broken or grief stricken, and she's usually lonely … and did she witness a murder? Is she crazy?. [Either way,] she always has the obligatory line, 'I know what I saw.'"
(Photo by Colleen E. Hayes/Netflix)
In this story, Bell's Anna is suffering a loss and spends her days in a murky depression, sipping Big Gulps of wine and wandering around in a fog, while her handyman Buell (Cameron Britton) takes an inordinate amount of time to fix a mailbox. Then the handsome single dad Neil (Tom Riley) and his daughter move in across the street. He likes to use his Peloton in front of an open window, which is great for Anna's nosiness. Not so great? That he didn't tell her he had a girlfriend (Shelley Hennig's Lisa). And also that no one believes Anna when she swears she saw a bloody killing happen in Neil's house. So she takes it upon herself to solve the murder that might not actually be a murder.
"We were trying to push the level of absurdity so far that you would giggle, yet still interact the way that you would with a psychological thriller: where you'd scream at the TV 'don't go down the stairs," Bell said. This means that Anna's estranged husband (Michael Ealy) has a job that would never be appropriate for a Take Your Daughter To Work Day and her friend Sloane (Mary Holland) would have initiated an intervention eons ago.
Another of these tropes is giving Anna horribly written and redundant voice-over narration, as well as a paranoia that she hears noises in the house and has a need to try to catch a killer through an elaborate catfishing scheme.
"I love narration," Bell said of the first twist. "I feel like it gives you an extra flavor to add to the scene. You could take a completely mundane scene and add some words of narration and make it the funniest thing you've ever seen."
The show is also coming when Netflix itself is experimenting with more straight-edged forms of this kind of content. The Alyssa Milano movie Brazen, which premiered in January on the streamer, was an clear warning shot to channels like Lifetime and its history of movies-of-the-week about nefarious neighbors and dead cheerleaders.
Bell considers herself more a fan of true crime, another genre in which Netflix excels.
"I also love suspenseful movies. I love horror movies. I love scary stuff. And I love trying to untangle weird patterns that I don't understand," she said.
"Violence confuses my brain so much, so I'll watch a crazy horror movie," she adds. "And I think that's why I'm interested in it. Because my brain is attempting to process all these choices that I don't understand."
(Photo by Colleen E. Hayes/Netflix)
As for why she, a named actress known for critical hits like NBC's The Good Place and the Disney film juggernaut Frozen, would want to do a parody miniseries, she said, "Up until a few years ago, I was guided by Would I watch this? Do I think it's good? Are there good people involved? And now I'm almost exclusively guided by Do I think I will have fun on set?"
Bell also acknowledges the irony that she's now playing a really bad DIY detective after her breakout role in Veronica Mars had her playing the titular ace teen (and then adult) gumshoe investigator.
"I did think Veronica would be so disappointed in the way that Anna was conducting herself," Bell said. "I think Veronica Mars would have solved this case pretty quickly and put my character Anna, in a mental institution. Or, minimally, given her the therapeutic help that she is in need of."
53% The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window: Season 1 (2022) premieres January 28 on Netflix.

This time, Serbia wanted to be the host! The Kolping Family St. Stefan from Sajan organized the "second edition" of the International Goulash Festival on July 27, 2015. The Kolping Family of the organizers competed with 2 teams, the Kolping Family Padey with 3 teams and the one from Zenta with 1 team.
From Romania, 21 Kolping members from five Kolping Families - Timisoara "Millennium" and "Heilige Maria", Chisineu Cris, Otelec and Uivar - started their journey to Serbia.
Each team consisted of members of different ages who cooked a fine goulash in the kettle and with the ingredients they brought along. A jury tasted the goulash and awarded diploma. At the end, recipes were exchanged.
The friendship meetings, the joint conversations, cooking, eating, singing and praying deepen their relations and unites the Kolping members from Serbia and Romania ever stronger beyond country borders.

Day 2 in Orlando: Nebraska Juniors 181 Black Reaches 18 Open Round of 16
ORLANDO, FL – While Nebraska Juniors 181 Black worked some magic on Day 2 of the AAU Junior National Volleyball Championships, the hardest work still lies ahead for coach Gwen Egbert's team.
Nebraska Juniors 181 Black opened play Wednesday with a stunning 29-27, 18-25, 15-10 win over Mizuno Northern Lights 181 and stayed hot the rest of the day, defeating Lexington United 18 Adidas 21-25, 25-18, 15-8 and Club Solano Velocity 25-11, 25-15 to advance in the 18 Open division.
With its performance Wednesday, Nebraska Juniors 181 Black now sits as the #6 seed among the 16 teams left in the hunt for the national title. Juniors 181 Black also is the only remaining team alive for a national title in the Open division, although play in the 16s and 17s age groups starts later this week.
Competition in the 18 Open division is now down to four pools with four teams each. Those pools will be played Thursday, with the top two teams from each pool advancing to the championship quarterfinals. The bottom two teams from each pool go into a consolation bracket.
In order for Nebraska Juniors 181 Black to reach the championship quarterfinals, it will need to pull off at least one more major upset. Nebraska Juniors 181 Black opens play on Thursday with a match against A5 Mizuno out of Atlanta. PrepVolleyball.com ranks A5 Mizuno #8 in the nation and 12 of its 13 players have committed to D1 schools. Nebraska Juniors 181 Black then takes on #50-ranked 1st Alliance 18 Silver of Chicago and finishes pool play with a match against #11-ranked Munciana. The Munciana match may be the most challenging, as it's a team stacked with 13 major D1 recruits, including five future Big 10 players.
Nebraska Juniors 181 Black's defense was its key on Wednesday, led by Omaha Marian's Brittany Witt, Lincoln Southwest's Taylor Els and Papillion-LaVista South's Raegan LeGrand. At the net, Nebraska Juniors 181 Black has gotten balanced performances from Lincoln North Star's Sarah Allick, Humphrey St. Francis' Tarrin Beller, Elkhorn South's Kesley Green and Lincoln Southeast's Meagen Roth. It was Millard South's Jamie Hauptman who was really impressive at the net Wednesday along with setters Sara Boothe of Lincoln Pius X and Kylee Wurster of Lincoln Southeast.
In the 18 Premier division, both River City Juniors 181 and Nebraska Elite 181 Freak Show have advanced in championship contention and are guaranteed top-20 finishes in the division. Both teams will compete in four-team pool play Thursday.
In the 15 Open division, Nebraska Elite 151 Revolution lost a challenge match 25-17 to Lexington United 15 Adidas to be knocked out of the title hunt, while Nebraska Juniors 151 went 1-2 to see its championship hopes come to an end.
In the 15 Club division, VCNebraska 15 Elite moved to 6-0 in the tournament while VCNebraska 15 Black improved to 4-2 and both are still in championship contention and guaranteed a top-62 finish.
In 14 Open, Nebraska Elite 14 Havoc dropped all three of its matches and is no longer in title contention. Meanwhile, in 14 Premier, Nebraska ONE 14 Titanium won all three of its matches – two of them being three-set thrillers – and is guaranteed a top-26 finish.
We will update this story later on today as more results from the younger age groups are determined this evening.
