This week on the Kid’s Talk Radio Women's Volleyball Sports Tour

Kid’s Talk Radio is following the Stanford Women’s Volleyball Team all over the United States.

October 27, 2008

Stanford has just completed the first half of the Pac-10 Women’s College Volleyball season. They are just were we want to be tied for first place in the Pac -10. Many B-logs were counting them out when the lost to Washington. Many were pointing out the lack of defense. This weekend proved that Stanford is the real deal. Stanford traveled to USC and came away with the victory. USC helped Stanford by beating Cal at USC. We just knew that USC was not going to get defeated two nights in a row. However, this had to be a rough weekend for USC. The Pac-10 is full of talent and anyone can go down at anytime. You have to bring your “A” game every week.

Stanford def. UCLA: Senior Cynthia Barboza matched a season high with 20 kills and registered the best defensive night of her career with 22 digs, leading the Cardinal to a 22-25, 25-14, 25-22, 25-23 victory over No. 10 UCLA at Pauley Pavilion. Stanford (17-3, 8-1 Pac-10) won its 16th straight over UCLA (14-6, 4-5). Barboza had her eighth double-double of the season. Sophomore Alix Klineman also had her third straight double-double with 17 kills and 14 digs.

As a special treat Kid’s Talk Radio has provided a special video to go along with this Kid’s Talk Radio Podcasts.

Stanford, Calif. - Stanford senior Cynthia Barboza has been named the Pacific-10 Player of the Week, as announced by Pac-10 Commissioner Tom Hansen earlier today. The outside hitter helped Stanford to two conference road wins in Los Angeles over the weekend, and back into first place in the Pac-10.

In a tight four-set win over USC on Friday, Barboza turned in 11 kills and matched a season high with 17 digs.

On Sunday against UCLA, she was even better, matching a season high with 20 kills, and registering the best defensive performance of her notable career with 22 digs. She also hit over .400 for the fourth time this year against the Bruins (.405).

With two double-doubles on the trip, Barboza averaged 3.88 kills per set and posted a staggering 4.88 digs per set.

This is Barboza's third weekly award of her career and the 65th for Stanford all-time.

Stanford returns to Maples this week, looking to complete season sweeps of Washington and Washington State. First serve against the No. 6 Huskies is set for 7 p.m. Friday night. Stanford and WSU will meet at 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.

Kid’s Talk Radio: Who was at the game?

Volleyball great Matt Fuerbringer of AVP beach volleyball fame was at the USC game. Matt live in Southern California and he helps his wife Joy with the Mizuno Club Long Beach Team. This is the club team the Barboza and Klienman played for.

After the UCLA v Stanford game we had a chance to see Cynthia Barboza talking to Wiz Bachman and Hugh Mc Cutcheon coach of the USA National Men’s Volleyball Team. Hugh is the coach USA Men’s Volleyball team that won the Gold Medal in Beijing. Wiz Bachman was a star on the UCLA and Women’s National Volleyball Team. It was such a treat to see them both at the UCLA game.

Women's College Volleyball

The College Women’s Volleyball Season has started.

Kid’s Talk Radio will be covering women’s college volleyball all the way to the Finals right back in Nebraska. We started this season off in Nebraska and we will finish the season off in Nebraska. Our mission is to continue to cover the Stanford Women’s Volleyball Team and at the same time to keep a close eye on USC and UCLA. So far the preseason games are off to some upsets for UCLA, USC, and Stanford. These teams all have losses in the preseason and the preseason just started last week. Kid’s Talk Radio will keep you posted every step of the way. Many of the players we saw in Nebraska last week were on the USA National Team. They were all helping the Olympic Team get ready for the Olympics. Many college players will continue to participate in the USA National Team Training Program in Colorado Springs. This is the training pool for the USA Olympic Team. If you want to follow any of the teams, just visit their websites for schedules. Kid’s Talk Radio specializes in women’s volleyball and will have reporters sending in news feeds from most of these games.

The Quest Center in Nebraska might be the best place in America to see a volleyball game with the world’s biggest crowd. I love Hawaii. The crowd is electric and the whole island gets into the games. Both Hawaii and Nebraska do a wonderful job with radio, TV, and print coverage. PNN and Kid’s Talk Radio will cover volleyball for the 2008 and 2009 seasons of both beach and indoor volleyball.

Project ECHO at UCLA's Anderson School of Management

PROJECT ECHO- Real World Skills in the Classroom

As I drove into Los Angeles on a rainy Sunday morning, I was grateful for the strong cup of coffee grasped in my hand. I knew that L.A.'s traffic and a rainy walk to the UCLA Anderson School of Management was still ahead of me. Being native to Connecticut and relatively new to California, you might say I'm a tad unfamiliar with the L.A. freeways and streets. Figuring that as long as I found my way to this "Project Echo" event on UCLA's campus on time, I'd get a chance to grab another Joe, network with some new people, enjoy the business savvy high school student teams present their plans and then call it a day. As a former 8th grade teacher now working in the world of business for Pexagon Technology, I was also looking forward to interacting with high school students again. Well, I can tell you that I surely underestimated the plans that Bob Barboza and Kid's Talk Radio had in store for me!
I made it to the School of Management on time, despite the rain, but did not get my second cup of coffee. I am convinced that Bob Barboza has eyes in the back of his head! I was spotted immediately by Bob, who introduced me without delay to L.A. area principals attending Project Echo in support of their entrepreneurial students. Then I had the great pleasure of playing a "fly on the wall" as the professionally-clad group, Animo Watts # 1 ninth graders, practiced for their chance to impress the judges. Providing guidance and feedback were their teachers, their UCLA mentors and Dinah Consuegra, their principal.
However, I never had the opportunity to see their full presentation or anyone else's, as Bob ushered me, DeAngelo and Stacey from Animo Watts, into the portable broadcasting studio of Kid's Talk Radio! Plunked in front of a microphone and camera, Bob announced, "You're on!" and the three of us stared at each other, wide-eyed and sweaty palmed with fear. With a quiver in our voices, we practiced broadcast openings, closings and questions for the interviews we were apparently going to hostand I think we actually developed a knack for it, and beyond that - perhaps a taste for it!
Stacey, DeAngelo and I had an incredible experience personally meeting and interviewing many of the ingenious minds behind the Project Echo high school businesses. After our first broadcast, each of us waited eagerly for our next opportunity to speak into the PNN microphone and hear Bob's announcement, "Quiet in the studio!" Our interviewees included Wendy Harris, Executive Producer of KNBC, students from Santa Monica High School, and several teams that took home first place prizes of $1,000 for investment into their respective businesses.
My day was certainly much different than I had envisioned, but as a representative of Pexagon Technology, an innovative company with unique approaches to technology, it was encouraging to see the innovation and enthusiasm of these students today, and certainly much more fun than I had expected! I believe that Stacey and DeAngelo might just agree with me. What a huge success for everyone involved in Project Echo, and thank you to the many educators who dedicate their time, energy and passion to make programs like this available and meaningful to their students!
