What is the McNair Scholars Program ?
The Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Program at San Jose State University (SJSU) is an exciting effort designed to encourage low income individuals who are first generation college students and / or underrepresented in graduate education to pursue doctoral study.
The McNair Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, proposes to motivate and prepare promising undergraduate students for graduate study. Named for the Challenger space shuttle crew member, the Ronald E. McNair Program serves as a living memorial to a man who overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to be awarded his Ph.D. in physics and later, to realize his dream of becoming an astronaut for NASA.
TRIO: McNair Scholars Program Umbrella Organization
Our nation has asserted a commitment to providing educational opportunity for all Americans regardless of race, ethnic background, or economic circumstance.
Supporting this commitment, Congress established a series of programs to help low income Americans enter college and graduate. These programs are funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and are referred to as the TRIO programs (initially just three programs).
While student financial aid programs help students overcome barriers to higher education, TRIO Programs help students overcome class, social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education. The Ronald E. McNair Program is the newest of these programs.

What Now? - Swapping A Broken U-JointPosted in How To: Transmission Drivetrain on May 1, 2013
Last month we introduced you to a series of stories called "What Now?" where we are going to detail various scenes of trail breakage, offer tips on assessing and diagnosing the problem, and highlight some solutions to get you rolling again. Last time we talked about diagnosing a broken front axle and how to replace the broken parts with good spares or limp off the trail. This time we will show you the basics of swapping out a broken U-joint. This basically continues where we left off. We'll mainly focus on changing a broken axleshaft U-joint, but most of what we do and show is also applicable to swapping out a broken driveshaft U-joint. Here, we are working on a very broken front U-joint from a CJ Dana 30. Two of the trunions of the U-joint broke and the ears of both inner and outer axleshaft are damaged, with the inner shaft basically ruined. Neither part is in good shape and we would not run them even as spare if given a choice, but they could get a Jeep off the trail in a pinch…that is, if we can get the new U-joint in the damaged ears. Follow along as we show how to change out a U-joint on the trail using only a few tools that we carry in our tool bag when out wheeling.

The Deep Winter 411
Thew 8th annual Arc'Teryx Deep Winter Photo Challenge at Whistler/Blackcomb, BC, Canada presented by Gore-Tex went down last week. The deal? Create, capture, document a way of life in Whistler under the given conditions and time contraints. Six photographers have 72 hours to shoot inbounds (no permanently closed areas) during operating hours (not at night on hill) and on the fourth day they show their slideshows in front of a sold-out room at the Fairmont Whistler.
Chris Brown's vid. Browner sought to show the lives of two boys, Jadyn (11) and Caleb (9) that anticipate going to ride from inside of their classroom. When they get to the mountain they meet up with some of the top snowboard pros of Whistler (Kale Stephens, Iikka Backstrom, Devun Walsh, and Jody Wachniak) and have the session of their lives. "Although we didn't win or even podium for that matter it was a great experience and I want to thank you for watching" Says Chris.
"Deep Winter is such a crazy, intense and awesome event." Says Erin Hogue, who worked with Colin D Watt, Marie-France Roy, Eric Poulin, Britany Davis and Braden Dean. Check out her video. "I had Wiley Tesseo, Joel Loverin, Justin lamoureux and a skier Phil Nicoll, as the only way you even have a chance of winning is to have a skier on the team. We didn't place, but then again not one of the three snowboard photographers did. Three ski photogs won, much to a lot of peoples disbelief…" Says Cameron Hunte. The event ended Saturday, January 18th, with a big screening of the slideshows where the judges announced the winner, along with people's choice, too. With $5,000 for first, $2,500 for second, $1,000 for third and a People's Choice $1,000 heli bundget up for grabs it's no joke.
Zoya Lynch's winning video.
Revelstoke's Zoya Lynch speaks with pictures not words as she told a story about the relationship between Whistler's most inspiring fine artists and the mountains they love in her show, "Winter Canvas". Lynch's unique show juxtaposed the process of artists Vanessa Stark, Vincent Massey and Kris "KUPS" Kupsky finding inspiration while snowboarding on Whistler Blackcomb and then harnessing that inspiration creatively in the studio. The judges remarked her show was clean, and found it to be the most creative, cohesive and original in the theme. The judges deemed Lynch's photo slideshow, shot over three days on Whistler Blackcomb, the best of the night, and awarded her $5,000. Nicolas Teichrob, in second place, took home $2,500; and Jason Hummel came in third with $1,000.
The 8th Annual Arc'teryx Deep Winter Photo Challenge, presented by Gore-Tex competitors were:
- Cameron Hunter – a passionate photographer with a lifelong love of action sports and the outdoors.
- Chris Brown – an ex-professional snowboarder who found a passion for being on the other side of the lens.
- Erin Hogue – a Whistler-based snowboard photographer with a determination to get the shot, no matter the situation.
- Jason Hummel (third place) – a Northwest native who has been skiing in the backcountry since he was six years old and shooting photos professionally since 2009.
- Nicolas Teichrob (second place) – an award-winning action sports photographer and filmmaker who works as a geoscientist in his spare time.
- Zoya Lynch (first place) – a professional ski photographer based out of Revelstoke, BC who specializes in capturing backcountry and self-propelled adventures.

ExcelsiorBenefits needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 30 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
We are doing our own Midwestern USA spin on the German/Bavarian festival Octoberfest, called PORKTOBERFEST! The festival will be in the theme of Octoberfest and will prominently feature beer, pork and pork ribs, and grilling. Since we are a huge fan of 99designs we are enlisting the help of the countless talented designers to create a logo for the festival.
Ideally the PORKTOBERFEST logo would contain the following items:
- A pig
- A Barbeque
- Beer (Mug, Stein, Pint, or whatever!)Or, if you have any other creative ideas, don't be hesitant to submit your concepts.
Since Octoberfest is an autumn festival, we would like the colors to be vibrant and keep the logo consistent with Web 2.0 standards.
- The PORKTOBERFEST text must be featured, and the logo (needed in vector level and .jpg) may also contain:
- A pig
- A beer (can be a mug, stein, pint, pilsner, etc)
- A Barbeque. We use a Big Green Egg but you can submit any idea. (http://www.biggreenegg.com)
- Or, if you have any other ideas relating to the above themes, don't be afraid to submit!
- No dates are necessary, we plan to use this logo for several years.
- The PORKTOBERFEST text can be ornate or in a Bavarian style of text but must easy to read also.

Vice President Aidan Connolly of Alltech, an international animal health and nutrition company, presented the prediction to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in mid-October. Last year, the Lexington, Ky.-based company's feed production survey showed China surpassed the United States as the world's largest producer of feed. This year's survey, which be released in late 2012 or early 2013, covers 130 countries and will show that global feed production grew this year. For 2013, though, Connolly predicts a contraction of 3-5 percent. "FAO's concern is feeding the 1 billion people who don't have enough food to eat," Connolly said this week in an interview. "Our offices expect an overall reduction in consumption of food next year, which will have a direct impact on production of feed." A weak global economy is depressing protein consumption. "It's a function of meat, milk and egg consumption," Connolly said. The continued use of feedstocks and materials for biofuels will also cut into feed production next year. The European Union, United States and Brazil will continue to use a large portion of their feed crops for biofuels, and China and Russia are also considering converting feed into biofuels. The renewable fuel standard in the United States, which mandates that gasoline be blended with ethanol, is an ongoing concern to the feed industry. "It has caused a lot of problems for feed prices in general," Connolly said. The feed industry, though, argues that byproducts of biofuel industries, such as distillers' grains, make up for the loss of raw product. Contaminated feed The U.S. drought will play a significant role in next year's reduced feed supply. Alltech also conducted a survey that looked at the level of 37 mycotoxins in 97 U.S. feed, grain and forage samples. Connolly said that mycotoxins will be a major issue for the U.S. feed industry for the next year. The mycotoxin survey showed that 100% of the samples tested contained one or more mycotoxins. Fumonisins and DON-group mycotoxins were the predominant mycotoxins followed by the T-2 toxin group, zearalenone and silage mycotoxins. Nearly half, 48 percent, of the samples had two to five mycotoxins, while 44% had between six and 10. At low levels, a single mycotoxin might not be a cause for concern where animal health and productivity are concerned. But if feed is contaminated with several mycotoxins, they can reduce productivity and compromise animal health. The challenge for the world's agricultural producers and food manufacturers in 2013 will be whether they can pass the additional cost of a reduced feed supply to consumers without severely reducing world demand for proteins. "We are facing a completely new era for the agriculture industry, where for the first time in history, feed production for 2013 will be lower than for 2012, and it is clear that efficiency in converting feed into food will be more critical to food companies than ever," Connolly said.

A band of humid rainforest hugs Colombia's Pacific coast, isolated from the rest of South America by the formidable Andes mountain range. Known as the Chocó biogeographic region, it is a treasure trove of biodiversity. And Las Orquídeas National Park, straddling the border between the rainforest and the mountains, is like a jewel in the crown.
Despite the biological bounty of Las Orquídeas, much of it remains unexplored. For 13 years research was all but suspended here because of the presence of illegal armed groups in and around the park. But stepped-up security efforts by the Colombian government have recently made it safe enough for a team of scientists from the New York Botanical Garden and the Universidad Nacional de Colombia to return in a three-year effort to document its ecological riches.
Earlier this month, the researchers returned from their second expedition into remote areas of the park with close to 900 plant specimens – among them are perhaps dozens previously unknown to science. The goal of the project, funded by the National Science Foundation, is to create an inventory of as many plants as possible.
"The tropical Andes is now the top priority for conservation in the whole world," said New York Botanical Garden biologist Paola Pedraza-Peñalosa, one of the project's leaders. "It's far more diverse than the Amazon region, far more endemic species."
Conservation International (CI) agrees that it is one of the world's most ecologically important and threatened places, having designated both the tropical Andes and the Chocó biogeographic regions as biodiversity hotspots – among the top priorities for conservation in the world because of their combination of high plant endemism and rapid deforestation. But in order to protect them, they must be better studied, according to Erwin Palacios, coordinator for CI's Amazon region.
"There are black holes of knowledge about our diversity, for the Chocó and for many areas in the country," said Mr. Palacios. Like Ms. Pedraza-Peñalosa, he believes that if better documented, Colombia could prove to have the highest concentration of biodiversity on Earth.
The Las Orquídeas project is a significant step.
"We have been waiting for the right moment to do this for the longest time," said Pedraza-Peñalosa.
An ecosystem isolated by violence and threatened by deforestation
Named for the more than 200 species of orchids known to grow within its boundaries, Las Orquídeas lies at the junction of the Chocó and the tropical Andes regions. Rising from lowland rainforest to peaks of more than 10,000 feet, the park's geographic and climatic diversity make for a wealth of ecosystems that are home to thousands of plants and animals, including many endemic species found nowhere else.
Nowhere in Colombia is there more at stake than in the tropical Andes and the Chocó biogeographic regions.
For decades, Colombia's armed conflict between the government and rebel groups like the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) has impeded research and left huge gaps in the scientific record. Universities were often reluctant to send researchers into the field because of the security risks. Preoccupied with the social unrest, the Colombian government put relatively few resources into research and conservation – even as deforestation ravaged some of the most biologically significant places on earth.
"Deforestation is very, very bad in Colombia, it's more serious than we realized," said Pedraza-Peñalosa. "But [conservation] has never been in our language. It's always been security problems, people talking about war. So of course there has never been the time or urgency to talk about this."
Now, with growing international awareness of Colombia's ecological importance and the increasing threats posed by deforestation, there is a new urgency to make thorough inventories of the country's flora and fauna so that they can be better protected.
Finding a balance between conservation and sustainable economy
Getting to Las Orquídeas is not easy. During their first expedition in January, the researchers had to travel into the park seven hours by mule, the only animal capable of navigating the treacherously steep mountain trails. They identified five new plant species, dozens of endemics, and other species not formerly known to exist in Colombia.
On its latest expedition, the team descended deep into a part of the park where tropical rainforest and mountain forest converge near a remote indigenous reserve seldom seen by outsiders – a place of extreme diversity. They collected hundreds of specimens, carefully pressing the plants between thick layers of newspaper to be transported back to Universidad Nacional in Bogotá for analysis.
Having an inventory of flora also opens the door for further research on regional fauna, such as the hummingbirds, bats, and insects that may pollinate the plants, said Pedraza-Peñalosa's co-investigator, biologist Julio Betancur of Universidad Nacional.
"This is the first step for us, but there is great potential for the discovery of other groups of plants and animals," he said.
Pedraza-Peñalosa and Mr. Betancur will share their inventories with the national park system so its staff can better protect endangered species and perhaps develop sustainable economic alternatives for the indigenous peoples and farmers who eke out a living clearing the forest to grow crops. The Colombian government frequently uses the plight of the poor as an argument for developing timber, mining and industrial scale agriculture projects – all of which are associated with deforestation.
But conservation need not be a deterrent to economic growth, said Pedraza-Peñalosa. Instead, she argues that the country now has a window of opportunity to devise stronger conservation plans and determine which plants could be sustainably harvested by local communities.
"What I've learned from living in Colombia is you never know what things are going to be like 10 years from now," she said. "This is a good chance and we should take it."

From Openmoko
Just some notes from playing with my Freerunner
What am I trying to do? I want to run a full Linux distro on my Freerunner, with Debian the obvious choice, AND have it work as a usable telephone at the same time.
Choice of Desktop and Window Manager
I started with XFCE/matchbox, which worked pretty nicely but could be painfully slow. I just figured that came with the terrain of trying to run a full windows manager on such a small box.
Yesterday I changed to LXDE/openbox - what a difference! Much smarter, more responsive, it's almost a new machine. Never going back.
Paroli under Debian
Lately I've been playing with Paroli. I had it almost working for a while, but now it seems to be broken again. I'll write down how I installed it another time.
But just for reference, the main reason why I had trouble making it work appears to be incompatibility with the version of framework that is currently packaged with Debian. right now I think I'm going to make do with what I have.
But the things that didn't work include:
- the BTConnected thing in frameworkd.conf - playing a .wav file on SMS reception - solved simply and sensibly be encoding it as an .ogg - the SMS Vibration function not yet implemented.
That's all for now :)

I have never known anyone whose name so perfect fit his personality and character as Stanley C. Diamond, a long-time resident of Allens Lane in West Mt. Airy with his wife, Beverly, with whom Stan had "a love affair for 52 years." Stan died early Saturday morning, Oct 13, at the age of 80. (We were unable to obtain the cause of death.)
Stan may not have been a celebrity, and his name may not be familiar to many people outside of Northwest Philadelphia, but to his hundreds of friends, neighbors, former students and admirers, Stan was a very, very special human being — a brilliant educator, devoted teacher, civil rights and social activist, author, prize-winning photographer, world traveler (more than 75 countries) and gentle, nurturing father and grandfather.
"As a family member said at the funeral service, every moment was a teachable moment," said a good friend of the family who formerly lived in Mt. Airy. "He was so special in so many ways. I was talking to him recently, and Stan said that the trip they had just returned from would be his last. Not because he still could not travel but because he felt bad for the people who had to pick up his wheelchair. That is exactly the kind of person that Stan was — always thinking about the welfare of other people. The Diamond/Finkel family is very special and loving!"
At the funeral service for Stan at Goldstein's Rosenberg's Raphael Sacks, 6410 N. Broad St., on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 16, one glowing tribute after another orally and in a tribute book expressed the indelible impact Diamond had on virtually everyone with whom he came into contact.
For example, according to a former student of Diamond's, Dennis Fox, "At Akiba Academy in 1961 for my 7th and 8th grade, Mr. Diamond was my core teacher. Between being thrown out of other classes and suspended from school, it was hard to feel acceptance by not only other teachers there but also my rightfully worried parents, who often didn't know what to do with me.
"Yet, day after day, at the close of school, a number of us commuting students would stand in line in the parking lot, waiting for Mr. Diamond to walk to his VW beetle and face us fighting for a seat in his car, especially the coveted 'front seat.' Just to be close to Mr. Diamond as he lit up his pipe and shared his philosophy about current events but more importantly, his calm questions of each of us in the car about what was going on in our lives, was the highlight for us all!
"What does it mean to have at least one person who accepted you unconditionally, especially at such a tumultuous time in one's life? Everything. My mission has been to help others in the business world as a speaker at conferences as well as an executive coach. I cried today when I learned of Mr. Diamond's passing. No other teacher had such an influence on me then, as well as on me to this day. Thank you, Mr Diamond."
"Stan had a long and very full life with many rich relationships and experiences," wrote Michael Eisman of North Wales. "I feel honored to have known Stan and to have been a small part of his life. I will remember our dinners and long conversations fondly."
According to Linda and Abby Petkov, of Hilton Head, South Carolina, "How many children had the good fortune of having Stan listen to their troubles so far away from home at Camp Saginaw? He always was a great listener with the unique ability of having youngsters solve their own problems by investigating alternative methods that would ease the situation. We never knew a man so loved by all who knew him."
Diamond was a lifelong educator, including 16 years as teacher and director at Akiba Lower School in Merion Station, where he was fondly referred to as "Mr. D." (As of 2007, Akiba is now called Barrack Hebrew Academy and is located in Bryn Mawr.) Stan was also founder and director of the Mill Creek School at the Institute of PA Hospital, and he enjoyed 32 years at summer camps in various roles.
Stan was extremely active in the civil rights movement. He founded the local chapter of Congress of Racial Equality, and he participated in sit-ins and other acts of protest including marches in Washington. He was involved in Freedom Rides and was active in countless other progressive activities.
He was one of the first recipients of the Sylvia Cohen Award for intergroup work in the community. Together with John White, Stan co-founded the Mt. Airy Coalition for Youth. In 1983, he organized the first Northwest Interfaith Movement (NIM) celebration of the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. which has remained an annual celebration in the community. Most recently, he was the recipient of the Rev. Richard R. Fernandez Religious Leadership Award to honor his extensive volunteer work in the interfaith and civil rights communities.
I met Stan and Bev about 10 years ago when I wrote an article about this peripatetic pair. It is hard to believe but true that a couple who were so active in so many worthwhile causes also found the time (and the courage) to travel to more than 75 countries, including many Third World countries with lots of danger and disease but no amenities.
Many of these travels are brilliantly recounted in Stan's book, "What's an American Doing Here? Reflections on Travel in the Third World," $16.95, published by Eloquent Books in Durham, Connecticut. (www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/WhatsAnAmericanDoingHere.html)
Here are a just a few situations the Diamonds found themselves in during their travels, as detailed in the book:
•Traversing the Mahakam River in Central Borneo in Indonesia, they had to transfer from one small houseboat to another after their engine was struck by a floating log. On their first night, it rained unmercifully, and after closing the canvas around them to keep the rain out, Diamond wrote, "It must have been 95 degrees … and we were attacked by a thousand little flying things."
•On the way back from visiting a Mayan site, their van, carrying about eight tourists, was stopped by bandits wielding AK-47's. After having a gun pointed at his head, Diamond gave the bandit some loose change. They also took Beverly's camera.
•In attending a Buddhist festival in Kataragama, Sir Lanka, the Diamonds left their shoes at the door of a holy place, having been assured by their guide that they would be safe. Upon leaving, their shoes were missing. Having lost his only pair of walking shoes, Stan's sandals had to suffice for the next several days. Diamond affirms the magnificence of the festival and asks the reader to let him know if they see a farmer in Sri Lanka walking around in Rockports.
•Traveling down the Li River in China, where the scenery was quite beautiful, but the water was not an "inviting" place to swim, Beverly wondered after having lunch where the dishes were washed. Stanley had no idea. Just a few minutes later, the riddle was solved. An identical river boat passed them going the opposite way. On the very end of the ship, waiters were washing the dishes in the water of the Li River!
Stan is survived by his soul mate, Beverly (Abel), children Dr. Gary Diamond (Rivi) and Jodi Finkel (Dr. Len), and grandchildren Ross, Gabby and Harrison Finkel, who live locally, and Orian and Yahel Diamond, who live in Israel. (The grandchildren used to refer to Stan as their "adored Bebop," a family term of deep affection.)
Family members said that Stan's goal in life was to leave this world and those people he touched better off for his having existed. In that goal, he was an unqualified success. (Readers are urged to make a donation in Stan's loving memory to Doctors Without Borders or to a charity of their choice.)

There's a new report that Palin spent even more than the widely-reported $150,000 on her wardrobe makeover. According to Newsweek, "One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family — clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent 'tens of thousands' more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband." [Newsweek via Think Progress]

In their season opener the Explorers of LaSalle faced a familiar foe in North Penn. Last year they beat the Knights in the first game and also in the state semifinal, before losing in the state championship. The dominance continued Saturday for LaSalle, as they overcame a 21-10 halftime deficit to win 44-27 at Plymouth Whitemarsh in front of a huge crowd.
Quarterback Matt Magarity had a comeback of his own, as he was benched halfway through the first half. He came back to throw for 223 yards and four touchdowns. Colin Buckley was his main target, as the senior wide receiver hauled in nine catches for 173 yards and three touchdowns.
The teams played the first quarter to a scoreless tie. However on the first play of the second quarter the Knights jumped out to a lead on a two-yard scamper by Ralph Reeves. The touchdown was set up by the second of Magarity's three interceptions. LaSalle came right back to tie the score. Running back Tim Wade, who earlier in the drive had his helmet knocked off banged his way in from five yards. Sean Coleman had a couple first down receptions to set the score up.
North Penn then started the Kyle Mayfield show. After a completion to the junior running back he ripped off a 71-yard touchdown run, that gave the Knights the lead with 9:20 to play in the first half. Casey Eidenshink had a big return on the ensuing kickoff. Chris Kane took over for Magarity at quarterback. Wade would rush for 30-yards to the one-yard line but they could not stuff it in, and settled for a Ryan Winslow field goal.
The teams then traded futile drives before North Penn scored with 11 seconds remaining on the first half clock. Quarterback Corey Ernst threw to a wideopen Dan Gevirtz for the score.
North Penn started with the ball in the second half. After a decent drive Mike Piscopo came up with the momentum shifter LaSalle was looking for, sacking Ernst and causing a fumble. However LaSalle could not take advantage. With Kane still in the game at quarterback they were forced to punt after a three and out.
But the Knights coughed the football up one more time. This time, with Magarity back in the game, the Explorers did not squander their opportunity. Magarity connected with Buckley for the first of their three touchdown connections. Winslow's kick was blocked and the deficit was cut to 21-16. Mayfield, the shifty tailback, broke free again, this time running for 75-yards. Although Chris Rocco chased him down for a touchdown saving tackle, James Fielder punched it in on the next play for a 27-16 lead.
LaSalle really got it going then, Magarity hit Buckley with a 64-yard touchdown reception. After the LaSalle defense stifled Penn, Magarity and Buckley worked their magic again, this time Buckley being dragged down at the 20. Clearly the one-on-one coverage North Penn had on him was not working. Although Magarity threw the last of his interceptions to ruin the drive, LaSalle had the ball back deep in North Penn territory as Eisenshink returned the ball 40 yards to the ten.
It was 30-27 with 8:57 left in the fourth. After recovering another lost ball LaSalle had the ball at the 30 of Penn. They had a crucial fourth and one and they went back to the fade, Buckley catching it for his third score and a 37-27 lead with 4:11 left. All going the Explorers way now, North Penn fumbled the kickoff and the home team recovered. Wade would eventually punch it in from five yards for an insurmountable 44-27 lead with 1:29 remaining.
LaSalle continues their season next Saturday at 2 p.m. at Plymouth Whitemarsh versus Bergen Catholic, of New Jersey.

MACON, Ga. (Jan. 9, 2010) - All good things must come to an end, and Saturday afternoon against Mercer, the ETSU men's basketball team watched as its perfect 8-0 all-time record against the Bears finally suffered a blemish.
Without the services of sophomore forward Isiah Brown (Miami), who missed the game with an ankle injury, the Buccaneers trailed 73-53 with 4:42 left in the game. However, ETSU made a spirited comeback over the final minutes only to fall short 83-78 during Atlantic Sun Conference action inside the University Center.
"No one is as unhappy as I am right now, but we are still 4-1 in the league and off to a good start," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team dropped to 8-8 overall, 4-1 in A-Sun play and remains tied atop the league standings. "Mercer played a good game. They have three really good seniors, and they have a good team this year, but we battled at the end which I'm proud of. We're still really young and that showed at times today, but we like where we are right now. Heading back home for five of our next seven is important for us."
The Bucs shot just 38 percent from the floor for the game, while allowing Mercer a 49 percent clip. Mercer also shot 43 percent from 3-point range, which was critical as the Bears built their lead throughout the second half.
For ETSU, a major bright spot in the game was freshman guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa, Fla.), who finished with a game-high 29 points and three steals. Meanwhile, junior guards Micah Williams (Manchester) and Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) finished with 18 and 12 points, respectively.
For Mercer, preseason All A-Sun guard James Florence scored a game-high 22 points, while Jeff Smith added 17, E.J. Kusnyer pitched in 15 and Daniel Emerson had 13.
The first half started poorly for the Bucs, who watched as Mercer pulled out to an 11-1 lead with 14:57 left before the intermission. However, ETSU finally found its offensive game and put together a 17-5 run over the next four
minutes to take the lead 18-16 at the 9:10 mark.
Mercer responded by going on a 12-6 run of its own to take a 28-22
advantage with 5:52 left, and ultimately led 35-28 at the break. In the first half, the Bucs managed just one assist and shot 34 percent from the floor.
The Bears opened the second half on a 12-4 run to make it 47-32 by the first media timeout with 15:50 remaining in the game. That lead grew to as many as 20 with 4:42 left, but at that point the Bucs used a pair of offensive runs to get within four points on a couple of occasions. However, they were never able to get within one possession.
ETSU returns home Thursday night to take on Stetson at 7 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. For more on ETSU men's hoops throughout the season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

Race in admissions: A tale of two flagship universities
Last October, the justices on the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in Abigail Noel Fisher v. University of Texas, a case that will resolve whether the university should have reintroduced race-based affirmative action in its admissions process in 2005. A decision from the high court is expected this spring.
Fisher was rejected from UT in March 2008 and promptly sued the university, arguing that, but for the fact she is white, she would have been accepted. In response to her suit, numerous amicus briefs were submitted by more than 100 colleges and universities from Maine to California urging the Supreme Court to rule against Fisher and allow UT to continue preferring students by race.
Texas's other flagship university, Texas A&M University, did not join the others. Why not? Some background on the evolution of UT's and Texas A&M's admissions policies will be helpful in answering that question.
Because of a federal court ruling in 1996, UT, A&M and all other Texas colleges and universities were forbidden from giving any student an admission preference based on race or ethnicity. In response to that ruling, the Texas legislature passed the "Top 10 Percent Plan," which grants automatic admission to any Texas university for students graduating in the top 10 percent of their class. For nearly eight years, UT relied on the Top 10 Percent Plan and, for those not in the top 10 percent, a combination of grades, SAT scores and a few nonracial factors like leadership abilities and economic disadvantage to admit its freshman class.
The Top 10 Percent Plan proved to be hugely effective in creating minority diversity at UT. During the years in which race and ethnicity were forbidden criteria, minority enrollment grew substantially. By 2000, a greater number of blacks and Hispanics were in attendance at UT than in 1995 when the school was still using race-based affirmative action. Then-UT President Larry R. Faulkner praised the program in a newspaper op-ed, writing "…the law is helping us to create a more representative student body and enroll students who perform well academically."
But all of this changed in 2003 when the Supreme Court gave a fuzzy green light to racial preferences in a pair of cases from the University of Michigan. The day that opinion came down, President Faulkner announced in a press release that the school would begin, once again, to classify students by race and ethnicity and give admission preferences to underrepresented minorities. Fisher's lawsuit contends that UT's race-conscious admissions program does not comply with the University of Michigan decision because the Top 10 Percent Plan was a successful race-neutral policy of ensuring minority diversity on the Austin campus, and thus, race must not be a factor at all in UT's admissions policies.
Unlike UT, however, Texas A&M decided to continue ignoring applicants' skin color and ethnic heritage. Instead, the university made some critical changes to its admissions policies - ones that were consistent with the University of Michigan opinion and, in the end, fairer for all students.
First, the school abolished its preferential admissions policy for the relatives of alumni - so-called "legacies" - explaining that it was inconsistent to lower the academic admissions bar for lesser-qualified, mostly white students while not doing the same for minorities. Then-A&M President Robert M. Gates was quoted as saying that while some alumni were disappointed, most understood that merit-based admissions policies were the right approach for all Aggies. Second, the school formed the Minority Recruiting Leadership Team, which sent A&M emissaries throughout the state charged with the mission to seek out academically qualified minorities who would not normally consider Texas A&M.
The results of both decisions substantially increased campus diversity at A&M without resorting to race preferences.
By 2008, the year Fisher applied to UT, the two flagship universities' freshman classes were remarkably similar, even though their admissions policies were dramatically different. At Texas A&M, African-Americans were 3.16 percent of enrollees, while at UT they were 4.4 percent; Hispanics at A&M numbered 13.5 percent, while at UT they were 15.9 percent. And while UT's minority percentages are a bit higher - yes, racial preferences do increase minority enrollees - they come at a high price, and not just in terms of the financial costs UT has borne defending its system.
UT's preferences not only adversely affect many white and Asian applicants who have measurably higher academic achievements, but also discredit the achievements of blacks and Hispanics. As Hoover Institution scholar Shelby Steele has written, "…one of the most troubling effects of racial preferences for blacks [and at UT, Hispanics] is a kind of demoralization or, put another way, an enlargement of self-doubt." It is indeed unfortunate that all minority students at UT are stigmatized by racial preferences simply because the bar is lowered for some. At Texas A&M there cannot be any stigma, because the bar is lowered for none.
If the Supreme Court rules in favor of Abigail Fisher, as it should, and compels the University of Texas to forgo racial preferences, UT's admissions office need only look to the example set by Texas A&M to seek a better and ultimately fairer way to achieve campus diversity.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression
We all know how important first impressions are. And if we blow it straight away we may be playing catch up for weeks, months or years! Whilst it's important not to worry too much what people think of you, knowing how to create a first good impression for interviews, dates, presentations and meeting new people is an invaluable skill.
Just how quick are first impressions?
Research shows (1) that we decide whether someone is trustworthy or not in the first couple of seconds of meeting them. This may not be 'fair' but it's a fact. And most people (again rightly or wrongly) never significantly change their first impression of a person.
What can creating a good first impression do for you?
When people trust you immediately they see you as someone who they want to associate with because they perceive your words as matching your true intentions and actions. Like it or not this instant appraisal works within seconds of meeting you. Why? Because we humans have had to evolve to sum up possible threat or possible advantage within milliseconds because this could have signaled the difference between survival and extinction! What mistakes do people commonly make?
What a good first impression means
Of course first impressions can be wrong and some people will to some extent modify their opinions over time. But if they don't feel you are the kind of person they want to be around in the first place you may not get that far.
People will decide within a few seconds whether you are competent, confident, decent, trustworthy and even humorous. They'll get a sense pretty instantly of whether you are the type of person they feel they could potentially date, work with or be friends with.
This session will look at how you can make a great first impression and feel confident. It will give your conscious mind digestible tips and your unconscious mind the capacity to make you feel confident, relaxed and aware of your impact upon others.
How you feel in the moment of first meeting will largely determine how you come across. If you are feeling full of confidence and ease this will transmit to people around you.

Market bears are hoping Janet Yellen jumped the gun on her April Fool's gag when she sprinkled her magical dove dust all over stocks and put the exclamation point on the S&P's fifth-straight quarter of gains.
But, no, that doesn't seem to be the case. Sure enough, markets are moving up again this morning, doing that thing they tend to do when basking in the warm seasonal glow of April.
This is when all the chirping picks up. The bubble chirps. How much longer can those calling for the pop hang around and be wrong? Probably long enough to be hailed for being right, though that could take a while, says Jeff Kleintop.
He pointed to the bull market that came crashing down 14 years ago. At the time, some 70% of the S&P companies had price-to-earnings ratios topping 30. Today, just 4% are above those bubbly levels (see chart of the day).
"We do not believe valuations are high enough to result in a long, painful hangover in the form of a bear market," Kleintop wrote. "Instead, we continue to foresee a potentially solid year for stock-market performance."
Then there are those on the other side of the spectrum, like Lee Adler, who are still girding for an imminent day of reckoning.
"Once the unthinkable is done and the spigot is turned off, I suspect that this time won't be different, or that if it is, it will be because it's worse — a bigger, badder bubble — a central-bank balance-sheet bubble – with a bigger, badder aftermath," he wrote in a post explaining why initial unemployment claims may signal the end of the rally.
Key market gauges: Buyers aren't done yet, pulling futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/17899764/realtime YMM4 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/20258906/realtime ESM4 higher premarket. Asia /quotes/zigman/6959860/realtime XX:ADOW followed the strong showing in the U.S. with some solid gains of its own, while Europe /quotes/zigman/2380150/realtime XX:SXXP is higher in the early going.
The quote of the day: "Obamacare is gonna work. And all that rooting against it to reach its goal — it's like rooting against the Jerry Lewis telethon to reach its goal." — Bill Maher in a tweet that kicked the right-wing hive.
The economy: Car sales will filter in throughout the morning and should provide a good gauge of just how impacting the weather has been. Analysts are looking for a sales rate of 15.8 million cars and trucks, up from 15.3 million in February. We'll also get the Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing survey and Markit's manufacturing reading for March. Read: Spotlight on economy.
The buzz: GM /quotes/zigman/1466682/delayed /quotes/nls/gm GM shares could use a monthly sales boost, considering they're drifting lower premarket after the company said it was recalling 1.3 million cars to fix a power-steering fault. That's in addition to the recall of 2.2 million cars to fix a faulty ignition switch linked to about a dozen deaths. Now, the top U.S. auto-safety regulator is about to lay blame on GM when he testifies in front of a House subcommittee. In prepared testimony, he says: "GM had critical information that would have helped identify this defect." The stock is down nearly 16% for the year.
The high-frequency/market-rigged story isn't going away, and why would it? The FBI is sniffing around, looking for a chance to Whac-A-Mole, while Dealbook says all the ire should be directed more on the guy behind the guy.
March didn't treat Zuckerberg so well, with Facebook /quotes/zigman/9962609/delayed /quotes/nls/fb FB getting smacked upside the head. But 2013 more than made up for it. Boy wonder earned $3.3 billion in share-option sales, according to a new filing.
The last day of Obamacare enrollment came and went, and it looks like that 7 million mark was reached thanks to a huge end-of-day surge.
The chart of the day: Here's a nifty little chart from LPL Financial market strategist Jeff Kleintop, showing how relatively unbubbly the stock market is, despite the constant refrain from so many bears that we're heading toward the pop. "Overall, the S&P 500 PE is currently a bit over 16 on current fiscal-year estimates, slightly above the long-term average, but only half of what it was in late March 2000," he said. "Looking at valuations, compared to 14 years ago, the party in the stock market may not be just getting started — but it is not yet close to being over."
The call of the day: This isn't all that easy to pull off for the Average Joe, but it says something about Wilbur Ross's outlook on the European economy. The billionaire investor is bullish on properties in some of the beaten-down corners of Europe, specifically Ireland and Spain. "You really have to be a believer in the economy," he told CNBC. "We were believers in the high-tech nature of the Irish economy and that they had this one-time problem with the banking industry and that they therefore could readily overcome it. And happily, it's turned out to be the case."
