There's a lot of television promotion happening right now around the TCA press tour. The Hallmark Channel hosted an event the other night. Jason Priestley directed an upcoming Hallmark MOV called Goodnight for Justice starring Luke Perry. Then Jennie Garth showed up. Please. Brandon, Dylan, and Kelly in a room? You cannot expect that I wouldn't write about this. Full Story
Dylan is not Brendan Fraser
You don't know what I'm talking about? Maybe you missed it yesterday. Or maybe you've blocked it from your memory to reduce scarring. Click here for a refresher, then shudder. Luke Perry, pictured here today in Cannes promoting Justice, is three years older than Brendan, and holding up rather nicely. Full Story

Paper Chromatography: Advanced Version 2
|Time Required
|Short (2-5 days)
|Material Availability
|Filter paper can be purchased from our partner Amazon.com.
|Low ($20 - $50)
|Alcohol is flammable and toxic
AbstractChromatography is a method used to separate mixtures of compounds and to identify each compound in the mixture. You may have separated the different inks in a black marker by using a strip of paper and water. There are many different types of chromatography: paper, thin-layer, high-performance thin-layer, gas, and more. You will be using paper or thin-layer chromatography to analyze the compounds from different plants. Chromatography is used by analytical chemists, organic chemists, and many other types of scientists since it is so easy and affordable. If you want to get a head start in chemistry, this is a great way to do so.
ObjectiveThe objective of this project is to use paper chromatography to analyze the leaf pigments found in three different types of plants.

Matter and Mixtures
Matter makes up everything in the universe. Our body, the stars, computers, and coffee mugs are all made of matter. There are three different types of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. A solid is something that is normally hard (your bones, the floor under your feet, etc.), but it can also be powdery, like sugar or flour. Solids are substances that are rigid and have definite shapes. Liquids flow and assume the shape of their container; they are also difficult to compress (a powder can take the same shape as its container, but it is a collection of solids that are very small). Examples of liquids are milk, orange juice, water, and vegetable oil. Gases are around you all the time, but you may not be able to see them. The air we breathe is made up of a mixture of gases. The steam from boiling water is water's gaseous form. Gases can occupy all the parts of a container (they expand to fill their containers), and they are easily compressed.
Matter is often a mixture of different substances. A heterogeneous mixture is when the mixture is made up of parts that are dissimilar (sand is a heterogeneous mixture). Homogeneous mixtures (also called solutions) are uniform in structure (milk is a homogeneous mixture). A sugar cube floating in water is a heterogeneous mixture, whereas sugar dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture. You will determine whether the ink contained in a marker is a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture, or just one compound.
In a mixture, the substance dissolved in another substance is called the solute. The substance doing the dissolving is called the solvent. If you dissolve sugar in water, the sugar is the solute and the water is the solvent.
Chemical Bonding
Matter is made up of small particles called atoms. Each atom is made up of smaller, positively charged particles called protons, neutral particles called neutrons, and even smaller negatively charged particles called electrons. At the center of each atom is the collection of protons and neutrons called the nucleus. Electrons spin around the nucleus in different energy levels called orbitals. Each orbital corresponds to a discrete amount of energy that the electron can have. A really excited electron with a lot of energy is further from the nucleus. In the image below, the electrons are yellow with a negative sign, the protons are green with a positive sign, and the neutrons are red with no sign. Keep in mind that this is a representation of what an atom looks like. Since atoms are so small, no one has seen a full atom before with the electrons orbiting around the nucleus.
Atoms are differentiated from one another by the amount of protons in their nucleus. For example, the carbon atom has six protons, but lithium has three. Each type of atom represents a different element (substances that cannot be broken down any further). The Periodic Table (see the Chemistry Resources page for a link to a printable Periodic Table) shows all of the elements we have discovered so far. The amount of electrons an atom has normally equals the number of protons, unless an electron is added or removed during a chemical reaction.
The objects you see around you are formed when atoms combine together by bonding to each other. Think of a bond between two atoms as a bond between two people. If you like someone, you might give them a hug. In this way, you are joined together. You can also hold hands with your friends and form a long chain of people.
Let's say you are talking to another friend, Mike, about your marble collection. You brought some of your marbles with you, as did Mike. Let's say you have 17 marbles total, and Mike has 11 total. You take your seven favorite marbles out of your bag, and Mike takes out his favorite one. Mike decides he wants to have eight marbles in his hands. Reluctant to give your marbles to him (Mike can be clumsy and easily drops things), you suggest you both hold the marbles. Holding out one of your hands with the seven marbles, Mike does the same with his one. You join hands. Now each of you technically has eight marbles because you are both holding them. Like Mike, a sodium atom (symbol Na) has 11 electrons total, but only one in its outermost orbital. A Chlorine atom (symbol Cl) has 17 electrons total, but seven in its outermost orbital. As a general rule, most atoms need eight atoms in their outermost orbital so they are stable. Both of you become sick of sharing the marbles. Wanting to make some money, Mike asks if you would buy his marble, and you agree. Now you have all eight marbles for yourself! Since you are still best friends though, Mike and you hold each other's hand. You have just formed an ionic bond with Mike! An ionic bond occurs when electrons are more attracted to one atom than another, and thus leave one of the atoms entirely. If you are the chlorine atom, and Mike is the sodium atom, you just formed sodium chloride, which is table salt. The bond between sodium chloride is ionic. The electrons are so attracted to the chlorine, that they leave the sodium atom! Now each atom is not neutral however. The chlorine atom gained one negative electron, so it has a negative charge (-1). The sodium atom lost one electron, so it has a positive charge (+1). Each atom is now stable. You and Mike are both happy; you have one more marble, and Mike has money.
Before Mike sold you his marble, you were sharing all eight marbles. When atoms share electrons with each other to gain eight electrons in their outer orbital, they form a covalent bond. Compounds like sodium chloride do not form covalent bonds because of the large attractive difference by electrons, but other compounds, like water, do. The oxygen atom shares the two electrons from the two hydrogen, and it also shares two of its electrons with them (the lowest orbital—hydrogen's highest—only needs two electrons to be stable). So, each hydrogen has two electrons and the oxygen has eight electrons in its outermost orbital.
The image below shows one way chemists often draw the bonding between atoms, which are called Lewis Dot Structures. For water, the light blue dots represent the oxygen's electrons, and the red dots represent the hydrogen's electrons. The circles show how it is possible to share electrons and still get a full outer orbital. For the sodium chloride molecule, the chlorine takes one electron from sodium (the pink dot), leaving sodium with no electrons in its highest orbital. The circle is fully around the chlorine because it is not sharing the electron, it is taking it to add to its other seven outer electrons (the purple dots).
Sometimes an atom will form a covalent bond called a double or triple bond. Carbon and nitrogen do this a lot. Although there are many different kinds of molecules, each atom can only bond in a few ways depending upon its outer electron configuration. To bond with certain atoms and still obtain a stable outmost orbital, some atoms share two or three pairs of electrons. A carbon atom can double bond with another carbon atom to get a full electron shell (as in ethene, below). A nitrogen atom triple bonds with a carbon atom in the Lewis Dot Structure below. Think of a double bond like holding both hands with Mike, and a triple bond a really tight hug.
All bonds take a lot of energy to break, but double and triple bonds are even more difficult to break. The kinds of bonds compounds have determine their chemical properties. If you've ever looked on the back of a food's package, you might have noticed the amount of saturated fat. Saturated fats are long carbon-hydrogen chains with single bonds. Unsaturated fats are long carbon-hydrogen chains with at least one double bond between two of the carbons. Saturated fats clog your arteries, but unsaturated fats are thought to lower cholesterol. It's amazing how just one double bond can make the difference between being healthy or harmful to your body!
For this project, you will be making a small spot with an ink marker onto a strip of paper. The bottom of this strip will then be placed in a dish of water, and the water will soak up into the paper. The water (solvent) is the mobile phase of the chromatography system, whereas the paper is the stationary phase. These two phases are the basic principles of chromatography. Chromatography works by something called capillary action. The attraction of the water to the paper (adhesion force) is larger than the attraction of the water to itself (cohesion force), hence the water moves up the paper. The ink will also be attracted to the paper, to itself, and to the water differently, and thus a different component will move a different distance depending upon the strength of attraction to each of these objects. As an analogy, let's pretend you are at a family reunion. You enjoy giving people hugs and talking with your relatives, but your cousin does not. As you make your way to the door to leave, you give a hug to every one of your relatives, and your cousin just says "bye." So, your cousin will make it to the door more quickly than you will. You are more attracted to your relatives, just as some chemical samples may be more attracted to the paper than the solvent, and thus will not move up the solid phase as quickly. Your cousin is more attracted to the idea of leaving, which is like the solvent (the mobile phase).
In paper chromatography, you can see the components separate out on the filter paper and identify the components based on how far they travel. To do this, we calculate the retention factor (Rf value) of each component. The Rf value is the ratio between how far a component travels and the distance the solvent travels from a common starting point (the origin). For example, if one of the sample components moves 2.5 centimeters (cm) up the paper and the solvent moves 5.0 cm, as shown in Figure 1 below, then the Rf value is 0.5. You can use Rf values to identify different components as long as the solvent, temperature, pH, and type of paper remain the same. In Figure 1, the light blue shading represents the solvent and the dark blue spot is the colored solution sample.
Rf values are calculated by looking at the distance each component travels on the filter paper compared to the distance traveled by the solvent front. This ratio will be different for each component due to its unique properties, primarily based on its adhesive and cohesive factors.
When measuring the distance the component traveled, you should measure from the origin (where the middle of the spot originally was) and then to the center of the spot in its new location. To calculate the Rf value, we then use Equation 1 below.
Equation 1:
In our example, this would be:
Note that an Rf value has no units because the units of distance cancel.

Polarity has a huge affect on how attracted a chemical is to other substances. Some molecules have a positively charged side and a negatively charged side, similar to a magnet. The positive side is attracted to the negative side of another molecule (opposites attract), and vice versa. The larger the charge difference, the more polar a molecule is. The reason for the unequal charge is that electrons (which are negatively charged) are not shared equally by each atom (in water, the negative electrons are more attracted to the oxygen because of its atomic structure). Some molecules, like vegetable oil, are neutral and do not have a charge associated with them; they are called nonpolar molecules. Polarity affects many of a molecule's properties, such as its affinity to water. Water is a very polar molecule, so other polar molecules are attracted to it easily. A molecule is called hydrophilic if it dissolves well in water (hydrophilic essentially means "loves water"). A nonpolar molecule, such as oil, does not dissolve well in water, and thus it is hydrophobic ("fears water"). Oil would rather stick to itself than to water, and this is why it forms a layer across water instead of mixing with it.
Soap can clean oils off of your body because soap has both polar and nonpolar properties. A soap molecule has a nonpolar, and thus hydrophobic, "tail" made up mostly of carbon and hydrogen atoms, but it also has a polar (hydrophilic) "head." The nonpolar body of the soap mixes easily with the nonpolar oils, but not with the water. The polar head is attracted to the water, so the soap/oil mixture is rinsed off. The negatively charged oxygen of the water is not attracted to any of the "tail's" hydrogen because the carbon and hydrogen share electrons almost equally, so there is not a major charge difference (the carbon-hydrogen group is neutral).
The picture below shows a water molecule bonding with another water molecule. The negatively charged oxygen atom (red) is attracted to the positively charged hydrogen atom (white) on the other molecule.
Below is a picture of a fatty acid (a component of fat molecules) bonding with water. The hydrophobic tail is not attracted to the water, and thus it stands upright out of the water. The hydrophilic head is attracted to the water, which bonds to it. Many fatty acid molecules bonded together can form a layer above the water. Carbon atoms are represented by black circles.
Chromatography is used in many different industries and labs. The police and other investigators use chromatography to identify clues at a crime scene like blood, ink, or drugs. More accurate chromatography in combination with expensive equipment is used to make sure a food company's processes are working correctly and they are creating the right product. This type of chromatography works the same way as regular chromatography, but a scanner system in conjunction with a computer can be used to identify the different chemicals and their amounts. Chemists use chromatography in labs to track the progress of a reaction. By looking at the sample spots on the chromatography plate, they can easily find out when the products start to form and when the reactants have been used up (i.e., when the reaction is complete). Chemists and biologists also use chromatography to identify the compounds present in a sample, such as plants.
Plants need to absorb light in order to create their own food. The chemical chlorophyll absorbs photons, which excite electrons in its central magnesium (Mg) atom. These electrons are channeled away from the chlorophyll to be used as energy to create food. Below is the chemical structure for chlorophyll. Chlorophyll a has one carbon and three hydrogen atoms in place of the "R" group, and Chlorophyll b has a carbon, a hydrogen, and an oxygen atom. The red highlighted part of the image is called the porphyrin ring. Each "point" in the diagram (i.e. each tip of the pentagons, hexagons, and jagged edges) represents a carbon atom. Hydrogen atoms are attached to most of the carbon atoms, but they are not shown in this structure.
When an object absorbs a certain wavelength (color) of visible light, that color does not appear in the object. When an object reflects a certain color (similar to a mirror, the light is not absorbed), you see that color with your eyes. If an object absorbs all colors, it appears to be black. If an object reflects all colors, it appears white to our eyes. The different colors we perceive around us are all produced by reflection and absorption. White light (e.g., sunlight) is actually a combination of all visible wavelengths. Molecules absorb/reflect different wavelengths more efficiently depending upon their structure. For example, the alternations of single and double bonds between the carbons in chlorophyll are what allow it to be so efficient at absorbing light. Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light from the sun, but it does not absorb green light, it reflects it. This is why tree leaves are normally green. In the fall, the tree shuts down chlorophyll production to save energy, and recycles it for later use. Thus the green-reflecting chlorophyll disappears, and we are left with the orange and red carotenoids (pigments that capture light energy and transfer it to chlorophyll), and so the leaves turn red and orange.

- Take a paper strip use the ruler to draw a horizontal straight line 2 cm above the bottom (this is the origin).
- Label what sample paper strip will contain (in pencil).
- Fill the jar to a depth of 1 cm with the acetone (nail-polish remover).
- Take one of the capillary tubes (or pipette or eyedropper) and fill with one of the samples.
- Spot the sample in the middle of the origin (see illustration, below). You might want to practice a few times in order to get a nice round spot.
- Place the strip of paper into the solvent chamber. Place a pencil across the top of the glass and tape the chromatography paper to it if the paper is not firm enough to stand on its own (see illustration, below).
- Take out the paper strip when the solvent has almost reached the top.
- Mark how far the solvent soaked up the strip/plate with a pencil.
- Trace around the newly-moved spots so that if they fade, you can still use them to collect data.
- Calculate the Rf value for each spot.
- Repeat this experiment for each of the three samples.
- Repeat this experiment for each type of plant leaf.
- What types of pigments do you think are present in each type of leaf? How can you tell? (Consider color, Rf value, etc.)
- How were the Rf values different for each pigment and leaf? Why? (Make sure to consider molecular structure, polarity, etc.)
- How do the different pigments help the plant? Why do different plants have different amounts and different types of these pigments?

The fight for Florida's electoral votes shifts to a Miamicourtroom today, with each side digging in its heels over a manual recount ofpresidential ballots.
Texas Gov. George W. Bush, whose minuscule lead in Florida has beenshrinking to below 300 votes as more ballots are recounted by hand, is askingthe federal courts to rule that the state's election law is unconstitutionaland call a halt to further recounting.
U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks, a Clinton appointee, hasscheduled a hearing for this morning on Bush's request for an injunction tostop manual recounts in four heavily Democratic counties. Vice President Al Gore's camp sought the new tallies in hopes of turning up more votes for him.
Representatives of both presidential candidates trod the television talkshow circuit yesterday, while officials in one Florida county, Volusia, beganthe tedious job of recounting 185,000 ballots by hand.
Gore's campaign drew encouragement from a preliminary hand count in PalmBeach County, where officials decided about 2 a.m. yesterday to manually countall of the votes cast in Tuesday's election - some 470,000 ballots. Gorenarrowed Bush's already-slender edge in a test examination of ballots fromfour Palm Beach precincts, representing about 1 percent of the vote cast, overthe weekend.
Statewide, Bush's advantage over Gore has shrunk to 288 votes, according tothe latest Associated Press count. The official total by the office ofFlorida's secretary of state shows Bush 960 votes ahead but does not includereturns from Palm Beach County.
Yet to be counted are an undetermined number of overseas absentee ballots,which must be received by Friday. That is the earliest date that an answermight be found to the pivotal question of which presidential candidate carriedthe Sunshine State, though it could well take longer.
Neither side is ruling out the possibility that all 6 million ballots inFlorida could wind up being counted manually before it is over in the state,whose 25 electoral votes will likely decide the next president.
Nationally, Gore leads Bush by 216,000 votes. His campaign continues tocall him the winner in the popular vote, though it will take several weeksbefore all ballots are counted.
The vice president is also clinging to a 255-246 electoral vote advantageover the Texas governor in the race to the 270 needed to win. Besides Florida,the results are not final in Oregon, with seven electoral votes, where Goreleads by less than 6,000 votes, and in New Mexico, with five electoral votes,where Bush was ahead by 17 votes.
Based on the slow progress of the initial hand count in Palm Beach County -it took almost 10 hours to count 4,600 ballots - it could take days to countall the votes by hand in the state's largest counties.
In Miami-Dade, officials plan to decide tomorrow whether to grant theDemocrats' request for a recount of more than 620,000 ballots. Volusia Countywill go to state court today to request an order allowing the count there tocontinue beyond the deadline of 5 p.m. tomorrow, when all counties aresupposed to certify their results.
However, officials in Volusia, which includes Daytona Beach, expressedoptimism last night that their hand count might be finished as early as thisevening. Manual recounts were completed yesterday in almost half the county's172 precincts.
Around the country, senior figures from both parties continued to stressthe need for closure and urged Bush and Gore to put the national interestahead of their own ambitions.
Former Sen. Sam Nunn of Georgia, a Democrat, issued a statement urging bothmen to act "in a manner worthy of the office they seek."
Nunn said Gore "should make it clear that he would concede the victory toGovernor Bush if he loses Florida after the more scrupulous recount and thecounting of the absentee ballots."
Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican, said "litigation is not theanswer" and that both sides should agree to let Florida's results decide theelection.
The Bush campaign is preparing to request recounts in states where Goreleads or appears to have won by a narrow margin, including Wisconsin, Iowa andOregon.
The Republican point man in Florida, former Secretary of State James A.Baker III, reiterated Bush's offer to drop his lawsuit in federal court if theGore campaign would agree to abandon its request for hand recounts and abideby the official total in the state when the overseas absentee ballots arecounted.
Overseas ballots have favored the Republican candidate in the past threepresidential elections in Florida, and Bush aides say they expect them tofavor him this week.
"This would not be tied up in the courts for another hour if the Gorecampaign would simply agree to abide by the results of a proper count of theoverseas absentee ballots," said Baker, who rejected the idea that the Bushcamp is fearful of what a hand count might bring.
Bush campaign officials argued that their position against manual recountswas strengthened by confusion in Palm Beach County on Saturday over whichballots to count and which to throw out.
They also pointed to what they termed a significant difference between aTexas law, signed by Governor Bush in 1997, which calls hand counts superiorto machine counts, and the process in Florida. The Texas law prescribesstandards to guide officials in manual tallies, while Florida leaves thosedecisions to the discretion of individual election commissions in each county.
Baker said the "subjective" process in Florida "opens up tremendouspossibilities for human error" and "for mischief." He acknowledged, however,that he had no evidence that there has been any wrongdoing in the initial handcounts, which are being closely watched by representatives of both campaigns.
The Gore camp, while increasingly optimistic that its hand-recount strategywould deliver the presidency to their man, has refused to rule out futurelegal action.
The Bush campaign was the first to go to court, but that move followed apublic threat by the Gore team to back legal challenges to the election byGore voters in Florida.
Gore chairman William M. Daley said the campaign would continue to examine"all options," including filing a legal challenge, over what Gore's lawyersregard as an illegal ballot in Palm Beach County, which apparently confusedmany voters.
Individual Democrats in Florida have filed a number of lawsuits in statecourts over that disputed Palm Beach ballot, demanding a revote in the county.
The Bush campaign says the Democrats will keep recounting until theyfinally get an outcome that favors Gore.
Bush is asking Judge Middlebrooks to assume responsibility over thelawsuits that have been filed in state courts, apparently on the theory thatthere would be less chance that he would take the drastic step of ordering anew election than would a state judge.
The Bush campaign has not requested a hand recount, saying that it opposesthem "as a matter of principle" in Florida. But Baker said yesterday on NBC's"Meet the Press" that the Bush campaign has missed a deadline for demanding ahand recount in only "one or two" counties.
The Bush campaign is not ruling out a request for a manual recountstatewide. "When you do it in just selected counties, you don't treat allvoters the same way," Baker said.
It would be up to Bush and his running mate, Dick Cheney, to decide whetherto demand recounts in other states, if the court fails to halt the latestFlorida recount, Baker said.
Former Secretary of State Warren Christopher, Gore's chief surrogate inFlorida, disputed the Bush side's claim that machines can count more reliablythan humans.
"Machine counts are very often inaccurate, just as ... your own credit cardbills are sometimes inaccurate," Christopher said. Because the results inFlorida will determine the next president, "there's a very great justificationfor having the hand count to check the machine count," he added.
The Gore campaign would "certainly consider" a statewide hand recount,Christopher said, while pointing out that the Bush side hasn't proposed thatyet.
The longest vote count in a modern presidential election will soon enterits second week without a winner. But the Gore adviser said the public needsto be patient for a while longer.
Christopher noted that only five of the 75 days between the election andthe presidential inauguration have passed, and predicted that the final resultwould be known in "a matter of days - not weeks, not months."
While their spokesmen jousted over the airwaves, the candidates keptlargely out of the spotlight.
Bush remained at his rural Texas ranch, where he continued to maketransition plans with Cheney and other top advisers.
Gore, after attending church with his family in Northern Virginia,retreated to his official mansion, where he held strategy discussions withcampaign aides.
The vice president has tried to project an air of relaxed indifference overthe uncertain outcome of the election. On Saturday night, he and his runningmate, Connecticut Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, and their wives, went to see thenew movie "Men of Honor" at a northwest Washington shopping mall.
Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert DeNiro star in the film about the uphillstruggle of a black enlistee in the Navy. Billboards promoting the movie carrythe slogan: "History is made by those who break the rules."
While Gore and company were at the theater, officials in Palm Beach Countywere struggling to complete their preliminary recount of four test precincts.
The tabulation came at 2 a.m. yesterday, after more than nine hours,prompting Palm Beach County Commissioner Carol Roberts, a member of thecounty's three-member canvassing board, to call for a manual recount of allthe county's nearly 470,000 ballots.
She argued that the results changed enough to indicate that a countywidecount would yield enough votes to give a Florida victory to Gore. Her actionwas strenuously opposed by board member Charles Burton, a circuit judge andDemocrat appointed to the bench by Bush's younger brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
It also drew the ire of Republicans, who questioned the validity of thecount that started Saturday and carried into yesterday morning.
"It has been utter pandemonium today," protested Mark Wallace, an attorneyfor the Republicans. "It has been painful, uncertain and bizarre all day long.It's simply wrong, and we've vigorously lodged our protests and urge you notto put the country through this."
The manual countywide tabulation was approved 2-1 by the board, withRoberts and Theresa LePore, the elections supervisor who designed the"butterfly ballot," voting in favor. Burton wanted the board to seek anopinion from Florida's secretary of state before moving ahead.
"I think we need to move cautiously," Burton said afterward. "What you'reasking three people to do is subjectively determine what a vote is. As humanbeings, we can do the best job we can do."
The hand recount of more than 4,600 ballots cast by 1 percent of the votersin Palm Beach County found 33 more votes for Gore and 14 more votes for Bush -a net gain of 19 votes for the Democrat. The manual count also kept track ofballots punched for more than one presidential candidate, finding thattwo-thirds of 156 "overvoted" ballots included a vote for Gore and one for thecandidate above or below him on the ballot.
Those numbers appeared to lend credence to the Democrats' argument that thebutterfly ballot confused voters, many of them elderly, and led many to votemistakenly for Reform Party candidate Patrick J. Buchanan. Democratic Partyofficials say voters may have realized the mistake and tried to correct it,thereby disqualifying their ballots by voting twice. The voters could haverequested new ballots, but many were unaware that they could, Democrats haveargued.
The three-member canvassing board will meet again this morning to determinehow to proceed with the recount. If the weekend count is any indication, ahand count of every Palm Beach County precinct could drag on for weeks.
"Multiply tonight by 99," Burton said after the marathon session Saturdayand early yesterday.

We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball team only added to its rich history of success during the 2009-10 season, capturing its second straight Atlantic Sun Conference Championship and earning the program's ninth trip all-time to the NCAA Tournament ... Posting the program's fourth 20-win season in the past seven years, the Bucs overcame multiple challenges during the season before dropping Mercer in the A-Sun finals.
The series versus UNF
ETSU and North Florida have met 10 times, with ETSU a perfect 10-0 ... The Bucs won the last meeting between the two schools last month, winning 66-61 in Jacksonville, Fla.
Last time against UNF
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Jan. 13, 2011) - Relinquishing a 14-point halftime lead, the ETSU men's basketball team made clutch plays and hit critical free throws down the stretch to escape with a 66-61 win over North Florida in Atlantic Sun Conference action at the UNF Arena. ... Trailing 57-53 with just over two minutes left in the game, ETSU senior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) hit six-straight free throws in the final two minutes, while a critical steal and lay-up from junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) made the difference in the final seconds. ... Williams and fellow senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) finished with a game-high 19 points each, while junior forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) pitched in 10 points and 12 rebounds in a double-double effort. ... The Bucs sprinted out of the gates in the early going, driving to the basket for some early scores and manufacturing a 9-0 run to open the game. At that point, UNF answered over the next five minutes of play to make it 15-13 with 11:28 remaining, but ETSU responded to that challenge with an 11-0 run to take a 13-point lead at 26-13 with less than eight minutes left on the clock. ... North Florida opened the second half with a renewed sense of urgency and produced in a big way, stifling the Bucs' offensive attack and outscoring ETSU 26-11 to take the lead at 46-45 with 5:58 left in the game. The two teams traded the advantage back-and-forth multiple times from there, but North Florida was left leading 57-53 with 2:15 on the clock. ... From there, Smith hit a foul shot, followed by a pair of offensive rebounds from Brown that led to lay-up from J.C. Ward (Marietta, Ga.) to make it 57-56. After a UNF miss, Williams grabbed an important defensive rebound and was fouled, hitting both free throws and giving the Bucs the edge at 58-57. A UNF turnover, a steal by Sollazzo and his resulting lay-up made it 60-57. Sollazzo was fouled on the play, but missed the free throw. ... The Ospreys answered with a free throw by Jimmy Williams, but another pair of makes from Williams with 12.6 seconds left made it 62-58. UNF was not done though, as a 3-pointer by Jerron Granberry brought the score to 62-61 with four seconds left. Micah Williams hit two more free throws at that point to basically icing the game as the UNF inbounds pass did not find its mark.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 11, 2011) - Putting together a dominating offensive effort in the first half, the ETSU men's basketball team built a 24-point halftime lead and held off a Jacksonville rally late in the second half to take an 80-64 win in Atlantic Sun Conference play Friday evening inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... A crowd of 3,890 fans looked on as the Buccaneers improved to 18-9 overall, 13-3 in A-Sun play, building a two-game lead over Jacksonville for second place in the conference standings. Meanwhile, the Dolphins dropped to 16-8, 10-5. ... The Buccaneers shot 55 percent from the field in the first half and dominated statistically. But after the break, Jacksonville managed to battle back into the game and cut the ETSU lead to just 10 points at 70-60 with 3:09 left in the contest. However, the Bucs then hit 10-of-10 from the line to ice the victory. ... ETSU put four players in double figures, with senior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) leading the way with a game-high 23 points. Meanwhile, fellow senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) posted 21 points, while junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) had 13 points and seven assists. Junior forward Isiah Brown (Miami) also had a strong showing, posting a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds. ... The Bucs roared out of the gates in the first half, as Smith scored 11 of the Bucs first 22 points and ETSU led 22-7 with 14 minutes left on the clock. JU managed to battle back at that point, going on a 15-6 run of its own to cut the deficit to just six at 28-22 on back-to-back lay ups from Ayron Hardy. ... However, ETSU was unfazed by the Dolphins' rally, as the Bucs bombed away from the field and from 3-point range. ETSU ultimately went on a 23-5 run to close out the half and enjoyed a 51-27 edge at the break. ... In the second half, JU still trailed 68-48 with 8:10 and began its comeback. Holding ETSU scoreless for the next 4:05, the Dolphins ultimately made it 68-57 before the Bucs got back on the board with a layup from Williams. Later, Jacksonville made it 70-60 before ETSU put it away.
Buccaneers place two plays on ESPN Sportscenter
The ETSU men's basketball team is making a habit of garnering airtime on ESPN Sportscenter's Top Plays. ... Just three weeks ago, ETSU senior Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) was selected as the No. 1 play of the day with his 360 degree slam dunk against Lipscomb on Jan. 21 in the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. Well, the Buccaneers took it a step further on Friday night inside the Dome against Jacksonville, placing two plays in the Top 10 and once again taking the top slot. ... Senior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) threw down a one-handed, alley-oop slam on a pass from his roommate and fellow senior Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.). That play was picked fourth in the countdown. ... Meanwhile, Tubbs again took the show after receiving a pass from junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa). Going toward the opposite end of the floor from where he dunked against Lipscomb, Tubbs executed the same 360-degree slam with even more flair. The Sportscenter hosts described it as a Winter X Games style dunk.
Williams eclipses 1,000; Smith moving up scoring list
While senior Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) was already a member of the 1,000-point club, fellow senior Micah Williams (Manchester) joined his roommate on the list against Kennesaw State (1/29) ... With a 3-pointer from the left wing at the 17:55 mark of the second half, Williams went over 1,000 for his career, becoming the 33rd ETSU player all-time to reach that number ... Meanwhile, Smith joined another select group by eclipsing 1,500 points for his career in the win over USC Upstate (1/25) ... Below is where both players stand in the all-time scoring list:
Name Place Points
Mike Smith No. 8 1,619
Micah Williams No. 33 1,084
Sollazzo rolling in last 17 games for ETSU
Junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) has really found his rhythm in the last 17 games, leading the team with 4.5 assists per game, and ranking third on the team with 11.9 points per game ... He has netted double figures in 11 of those 17 games ... In those contests, Sollazzo is shooting an impressive 68-of-118 from the field for a 58 percent clip ... he is also averaging 3.1 rpg in this stretch ... The Bucs are 14-3 in this span.
Smith's 20/20 vision leads Bucs over FGCU
With his 20-point and 20-rebound effort against Florida Gulf Coast on Jan. 8, 2011, senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) made history ... According to the statistics available to the ETSU media relations office, Smith was the first Buccaneer since Feb. 14, 1959 to post a 20/20 effort ... The last was Buc great Tom Chilton, who scored 35 points and grabbed 25 rebounds in a win over Wofford during the 1959 season. ... In addition, Smith is only the third player nationally to achieve that mark this season.
Bucs help bolster A-Sun to strong RPI standings
With a pair of signature wins already this season, the ETSU men's basketball team - along with other members of the Atlantic Sun Conference - is doing its part to put the league in some impressive company on the national hoops stage. ... With wins over Atlantic 10 Conference stalwart Dayton and Southeastern Conference West Division favorite Mississippi State, the Buccaneers have helped the A-Sun generate plenty of waves across the board in the national RPI rankings. As a result, one month into the 2010-11 NCAA men's basketball season, the Atlantic Sun Conference is ranked ahead of other mid-major leagues including the Southern, Ohio Valley, Big South, West Coast, Mid-American, WAC and Sun Belt. ... The A-Sun remains among the top half of the conferences in the country. CollegeRPI.com ranks the A-Sun 14th, immediately behind the Horizon, Conference USA and Missouri Valley, and ahead of the conferences mentioned above. Against the Southern, Big South, Sun Belt and Ohio Valley conferences, the A-Sun owns a 15-8 mark. ... The conference has more than held its own against the BCS conferences. With ETSU's win at Mississippi State, the conference grabbed its fifth win against the "Power-6" leagues. No conference eligible for consideration for the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll owns as many BCS wins as the A-Sun. The five wins represent the most for the league since 2007-08.
Bartow gets wins No. 250 overall and 150 at ETSU; ranks among best coaches in last five years
With his team's win over Florida Gulf Coast on Jan. 8, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow picked up his 250th career victory ... He then collected his 150th win at ETSU when the Bucs downed Jacksonville on Jan. 15 ... When looking at coaches across the country, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow stands among a select group ... Of those coaches that have been at their current school for at least five years, only 24 have averaged better than 20 wins a season ... That list includes coaches such as Dayton's Brian Gregory, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, UConn's Jim Calhoun, Florida's Billy Donovan, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Duke's Mike Kryzewski, Louisville's Rick Pitino, Kansas' Bill Self, Maryland's Gary Williams and North Carolina's Roy Williams ... The list also includes Bartow, who is average 20.2 wins a year since 2005-06.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 148-46 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 76 percent ... The Bucs had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season ... In 2007-08, the Bucs were 11-2 at Memorial Center ... In 2008-09, the Bucs were again 11-2 at home, and last year the team dropped off to a 9-5 clip at the Dome ... This season, the Bucs are 10-1at home.

Few people have inspired the world to treasure and protect nature and all living things like Dr. Jane Goodall. Sometimes affectionately referred to as "the chimp lady", Jane has dedicated her life to inspiring people to take action in support of conservation with an emphasis, of course, on chimpanzees.
Dr. Jane has always been a tireless supporter of Wildscreen and ARKive. As recently as the last Wildscreen Festival – the world's largest and most influential wildlife filmmaking festival – Jane spoke to a packed house about her conservation journey that started back in 1960 when she first began studying chimpanzees.
Fifty-four years later, Jane is still spreading her message of hope for animals around the world, and now there is an opportunity for the world to share a message of appreciation for Jane right back!
Jane turns 80 on April 3, 2014, and her wish is to share her birthday celebration with the world via a Google Hangout that day at 11 a.m. PDT / 2 p.m. EDT / 6 p.m. UTC. Joining Dr. Jane will be a number of young people sharing projects they are dedicating to her for her birthday. If you can't make the virtual party, no worries! You can sign Dr. Jane's birthday card with your sentiments and well wishes.
To celebrate in our own ARKive way, we've organized a MyARKive Scrapbook of our favourite chimpanzee images and videos on ARKive including this sweet face and this family of playful youngsters. We hope you enjoy it!
From all of us at Wildscreen & ARKive, Happy Birthday Dr. Jane!

Democrats on Rand Paul's Berkeley fans: 'Who are these folks?'
Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom watched intently this week as potential presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul denounced "drunk with power" government spy agencies to a hall full of UC Berkeley students - and was showered with cheers and a standing ovation.
"The issue of privacy is the issue of our time," Newsom said afterward. But he was less focused on the message than on the messenger: a Republican senator from Kentucky who attracted an adoring crowd in one of the most liberal cities in the U.S.
Newsom was something of an advance scout for Democrats, especially former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Newsom was an early endorser of her 2008 presidential run and will be on board again should she decide to run in 2016.
"I am interested in who (Paul) is and why this message has resonance, particularly with young people," Newsom said, motioning around the room. "Who are these folks?
"From a political perspective, Democrats, particularly, should pay attention to it," Newsom said.
Paul's Berkeley reception showed that his rise toward the top of 2016 Republican polls is fueled in part by younger voters. They're drawn by his message that the government is stepping on ordinary people's rights by collecting millions of phone and e-mail metadata records, by refusing to rule out drone strikes against U.S. citizens under "extraordinary circumstances" and by impeding a Senate investigation into alleged torture of terrorism suspects.
'Very strategic'
"This guy is not shooting from the hip," Newsom said. "He's very intentional, very strategic - and he's not someone I am quick to dismiss."
But Democrats are hopeful that if Paul manages to win the GOP nomination, his views on incendiary social issues will dilute his support among young voters.
Robert Reich, the Clinton administration labor secretary who was also in the audience Wednesday, noted that on such issues as gun control, abortion, same-sex marriage and gays in the military, Paul is one of the Senate's most conservative members. If he doesn't "change his positions," Reich suggested, Paul would have difficulty winning a general election.
Paul opposes letting gays and lesbians into the military, would repeal most gun-control legislation and says states should be free to ban same-sex marriage. Until recently, he opposed all abortions, though he now has suggested that he is open to "exceptions" that may include when the mother's life is at stake.
In an interview, Paul acknowledged the problems of trying to win over blue-state young people with red-state views.
"You know, I think part of the answer is that we agree to disagree on some of these things," he said. "I don't think the Republican Party is all of a sudden going to become, 'Oh, we're the pro-gay marriage, pro-choice party.' "
'A bigger tent'
But Paul suggested that the Republican Party could become "a bigger tent that included people who believed in those issues and people who didn't."
"The reason why the Republican Party can't completely transform on these issues is that ... many of us, myself included, are socially conservative," Paul said. "But if I am, it doesn't mean I've got to beat you over the head with it if you're not.
"I think there is a way we can coexist and get people into the party," he said. "So I'm hoping there's going to be a big tent on these issues."
Some libertarians say Paul appears skillful enough to walk the more-freedom, more-conservative tightrope than other Republicans have managed to do.
"He's a blend," said Patrick Dorinson, a Sacramento talk-radio host who writes the Cowboy Libertarian blog. "He focused on the NSA (National Security Agency) and your individual freedom. And on the social issues, he's trying to straddle it."
Straddling it, Dorinson said, mostly means "Leave it up to the states."
Paul is "trying to get the college kids to give him a hearing," Dorinson said.
Newsom said Paul could be just what the Republican Party needs on the national level - a fresh face and unorthodox voice, calling for change and openness in his own party.
Democrats' message to young voters about Paul, should it come to that, would be "What you see is not necessarily what you get," Newsom said.
Paul "may sound empathetic" on issues like spying and privacy, Newsom said, but "on other issues, he is not a lot different from the old crust of the GOP."

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 6.x -- About Raw Data Reports
From DocWiki
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 6.x > Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server > Maintaining > Running Reports
Information stored in the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server database is also available as raw data reports. These reports allow you to use the Report tab to export raw data to a spreadsheet or database program for further processing and formatting. Because the data in these reports is initially unformatted, you can format the information in various ways.
Setting Up the Target Database
When setting up the target spreadsheet or database, start by defining the fields in terms of the field names given in this section. When you are ready to export raw data from the system, be sure to name the raw data file using a filename extension that the target program recognizes, such as .csv. You may also find that macros are useful for managing tables and reading raw data as it is exported to your target file. You may also include the field names as the first record in your export file.
Because the data in raw data reports is related, the order in which data is exported to the target file can be important. One suitable sequence is the following: group information, user profiles, meeting participants, meeting outdial, system outdial.
Exporting Raw Data Reports into Microsoft Excel

- How to Read a Study Record
This study is being conducted at the University Hospital of Lund University in Malmo, Sweden, in collaboration with the U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The study will try to identify genetic causes of impaired sperm production and male infertility. It will focus on the possible role of the MTHFR and CBS genes, which regulate absorption and metabolism of the vitamin, folate in infertility. If the nutritional intake or metabolism of this vitamin is related to male infertility, then this cause of infertility would be potentially curable.
Fertile and infertile men between 20 and 45 years of age may be eligible for this study. Criteria include the following:
- Fertile men: men whose partners are younger than age 40 and are attending Lund University prenatal clinic; who have fathered one or more pregnancies and who stopped birth control to achieve the present pregnancy; who achieved the present pregnancy in less than 12 months of unprotected intercourse.
- Infertile men: men referred to the Scandian Andrology Centre whose infertility is unexplained, whose partners are younger than age 40 and who have had regular sexual intercourse without contraception for at least 12 months without achieving a pregnancy.
All participants will have the following tests and procedures:
- Complete a questionnaire providing information about their reproductive and medical history and recent dietary history;
- Provide blood samples for analysis of red cell folate, plasma folate, plasma homocysteine, plasma B12, and for genetic evaluation;
- Provide a semen sample for routine analysis, including volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility, and sperm morphology.
In addition, infertile men will undergo a physical examination and review of their medical records.
|Condition or disease
|Male Infertility
It is evident that genetic variation plays a substantial role in the etiology of male infertility. Studies of children fathered through intracytoplasmic sperm injection or ICSI have revealed mutations on the AZF region of the Y chromosome linked to male infertility. Mutations of other genes may also be involved. Candidates would include genes for the androgen receptor, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone, and genes involved in the regulation of spermatogenesis and sperm motility. Mutations in mitochondrial DNA have been linked to poor sperm motility and raise the possibility that some types of male subfertility may be inherited only through the female line.
We propose to assess the role of folate/homocysteine status and MTHFR and CBS gene variants in infertile men in Sweden with no known cause for their infertility and whose wives/partners appear to be fertile. We propose to perform the study in Sweden since Sweden, unlike the U.S., at present does not mandate the enrichment of flour or other foodstuffs with folate.

Here's a fun way to sneak in some geometry with your preschooler or kindergartner…go on a shape
search with a pair of homemade binoculars.
Materials Needed:
- Two toilet paper rolls/binocular
- Hole punch
- Yarn
- Scissors
- Glue
- Small craft items such as pompoms, feathers, "jewels", glitter, etc.
Part 1: Making the Binoculars
In advance, glue the two toilet paper rolls together to make the binoculars. When dry, punch two holes,
one on either side of the toilet paper rolls about ¼ inch from the edge. Cut a piece of yarn about 32"
long and tie it through the holes in the binoculars.
Now the fun part. Your child gets to decorate their binoculars using all the small craft items. It's easiest
if only the top of the binoculars get decorated. If your child is using feathers, make sure he doesn't glue
on the feathers so they stick out and poke him in the eye when he goes to look through them!
Consider making your own binoculars as it's more fun to search for shapes together.
Part 2: The Search
After the glue has dried, you're ready to go on your hunt. There are a couple of ways to do this. One
way is to search around the house and/or yard for shapes such as the rectangle of the door or the circle
of a plate. The other way is to place "shape" objects around the yard, such as coins (circles) and books
(rectangles) that your child collects on the search.
In advance of the search, review the shapes: circle, square, rectangle, triangle, etc.
Now you're ready to go! Keep track of how many of each shape you find. Were you surprised at how
many shapes we are surrounded by in our environment when we take the time to look for them?
As a variation, use the binoculars to go on a pattern search.

Premier® 12" SPL Component Subwoofer with 3000 Watts Max. Power
1000 Watts Nominal Power
Aluminum Heat Sink
Ceramic-Coated Voice Coil Wire
Stand back. The Premier TS-W3002SPL subwoofer is designed to produce enormously powerful music. Just take a look at its super-heavy-duty construction, all designed to handle up to 3,000 watts max. The titanium voice coil bobbin. The ceramic-coated voice coil wire. Double-stacked magnets for higher power, and a step-up radial surround for superior control and long excursions. We used an aluminum heat sink and even constructed a cast-aluminum basket for this sub. Add in our patented IMPP cone and you've got a monster sub that can handle whatever you want to throw at it — including Pioneer's new breed of SPL amplifiers like the PRS-D3000SPL.
Titanium Voice Coil Bobbin
With a subwoofer capable of handling this much power, ALL of its parts have to be up to the task. No weak links, and this even includes the voice coil bobbin. To make sure the TS-W3002SPL's voice coil bobbin was virtually indestructible, we created them from titanium. No weak link here.
Ceramic-Coated Voice Coil Wire
The TS-W3002SPL's voice coil wire is coated with ceramic, which allows it to handle extreme heat. This doubles the input power handling capability and significantly improves reliability. This technology is proven, with consecutive dB Drag Racing DeathMatch competition wins at the 2003 and 2004 dB Drag Racing World Finals!
Double-Stack Magnet with Double-Stack Top Plate
To produce the tremendous magnetic energy we envisioned for this sub, we employed double-stacked magnets, weighing a hefty 110oz, and a double-stacked top plate above them. This design ensures positive, powerful control of the voice coil during those long excursions — and it's one reason you can ring up those high SPL numbers.
Wide-Roll 3-Layer Fiber Radial Surround
A sub's surround plays a key role in a speaker's performance. In order for bass response to be clear and tight, the surround has to respond evenly around its entire circumference without flexing or puckering, even at high volume levels. That's why Pioneer created a surround consisting of two layers of urethane with a layer of interwoven fiber between them. It's strong, stable, and it reduces distortion. In addition, the wider-than-normal design provides a long, linear excursion for excellent control and heavy-duty durability.
IMPP Cone with Carbon Fiber/Glass Fiber Reinforcement
Pioneer invented the process of injection-molding polypropylene to form a speaker cone. We call them IMPP cones, and they're exceptionally strong and lightweight. Now, we've reinforced IMPP with carbon and glass fiber, providing speaker cones with extraordinary strength and rigidity — and light weight. This is ideal for powerful, accurate music. And it gives the cones the durability needed for withstanding heat, humidity, and dust.
Aluminum Heat Sink
In creating huge magnetic force, magnets can get very hot. And heat can create distortion. So, we included an aluminum heat sink that cools the voice coil structure.
Cast Aluminum Basket
Designed from scratch by Pioneer, this one-piece aluminum basket assembly holds the motor assembly, cone, and magnet structure securely in place. The benefits of this design: reduced internal stress, superior damping, and increased magnetic efficiency.
Dual Voice Coil
TS-W3004SPL uses two voice coils, each at 2 ohms. This design offers you the flexibility of turning it into either a 1-ohm sub (voice coils connected in parallel), an 4-ohm sub (connected in a series), or powering the voice coils separately (dual 2 ohm loads). More options, more power: that's what DVC is all about.
Also available is the TS-W3004SPL, with dual 2 ohm voice coils.
Available Tuned Subwoofer Enclosure
The available UD-W12 SPL Optimized Ported Enclosure is the perfect complement for the TS-W3002SPL subwoofer. It features a ported design that provides optimum performance and delivers tight, thunderous bass output.

PHILADELPHIA—In a story Nov. 18 about Rhodes scholars, The Associated Press erroneously described the location of the KwaZulu-Natal region. It is in eastern South Africa, not western South Africa.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Rhodes Scholars announced for 2013
32 students from US named Rhodes Scholars for 2013; will attend Oxford University
By RON TODT
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA (AP)—They've studied in countries from Ghana to China, speak languages from Zulu to Mandarin, and count everything from West African drumming to firefighting among their talents.
The 32 Rhodes Scholars announced Sunday represent a diverse cross-section of U.S. students, hailing from New England to the Deep South, from Ivy League universities to small liberal arts colleges. However, the scholars, who will study at Oxford University in England beginning next October, are selected based on a core set of criteria: academic achievement, personal integrity, leadership potential and physical vigor.
Recipients reached by The Associated Press all described similar reactions: They were excited, humbled and at times in disbelief.
"I keep sort of checking my phone to see if this actually happened," said David Carel, a Yale University senior and one of seven recipients from the school. "It's so hard to believe I just sort of assume I dreamed the whole thing."
Carel said he hopes to use his scholarship to study how health, education and economics intersect.
A trip to explore the South African roots of his family led to work in the KwaZulu-Natal region of eastern South Africa, where he joined Peace Corps volunteers and later a nonprofit working with at-risk youths who aren't in school and don't have jobs, trying to prevent widespread alcoholism, depression and other problems.
He is fluent in both Zulu and Hebrew, is a lead drummer in a West African dance troupe and teaches a form of Israeli dance.
Rhiana Gunn-Wright's ambitions stem from her childhood in the impoverished Englewood neighborhood on Chicago's South Side.
"I've seen the way that poverty robs people of their opportunity to explore their capabilities," she said. The Yale graduate currently researches poverty's effects on people's access to a college education and hopes to one day help reform social welfare policy.
Christian Heller, a 21-year-old United States Naval Academy student, has a deep interest in Middle Eastern affairs and the effects of the oil industry. But his interest grew when he started seeing the connections between how the industry developed overseas and how the energy sector is developing in his home state of North Dakota, which is experiencing massive growth amid the oil boom there.
"That's pretty much where I'm from and it was having a big impact on the people I know," said Heller, who grew up about an hour southeast of the heart of the boom.
Others also described deeply personal reasons for their studies. Chris Dobyns of Highland, Md., said his grandfather—a Methodist minister—would preach at different churches, including an African-American church every Ash Wednesday. That exposed him to a variety of cultures during his upbringing in suburban Washington, D.C., and ultimately inspired him to pursue African studies at Cornell University.
"There are a lot of people who promoted that in my life, but it really started and ended, I think, with my faith," said Dobyns, who also was a volunteer firefighter at Cornell.
For Rachel Myrick, a University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill student, a trip with a nonprofit to Cambodia inspired her interest in studying the causes and consequences of ethnic conflict.
"I learned a lot about genocide reconstruction," she said. "It's been an intellectual and personal interest."
Rhodes Scholar Amanda Frickle, of Bozeman, Mont., plans to pursue dual masters programs—one in women's studies and the other possibly in public policy. Frickle, 23, majored in history and political economy, and graduated summa cum laude from The College of Idaho. Much of her academic work has been in gender studies.
"I've always been interested in feminist theory," Frickle said, later adding, "I see feminist activism as a vehicle to achieve broader social justice."
Georgianna Whiteley, of Wayzata, Minnesota, wants to become a doctor dealing with global health issues.
Whiteley, 21, is a senior at Luther College, in Decorah, Iowa, where she is majoring in chemistry and minoring in biology. She said she has always wanted to be a doctor, but her path toward becoming a Rhodes Scholar started in her sophomore year when she spent her January term in Tanzania, studying the Maasai, one of the indigenous cultures in the east African country.
"I came back from Tanzania with the idea that I no longer just wanted to be a physician, but a physician that is not only culturally sensitive but deals with more global health issues and global health inequities," Whiteley said.
Rhodes Scholarships were created in 1902 by the will of British philanthropist Cecil Rhodes and have a value of about $50,000 per year.
The American students will join an international group of scholars selected from 14 other jurisdictions around the world. About 80 scholars are selected each year.
Associated Press writers Alex Dominguez in Baltimore; Michelle Janaye Nealy in Chicago; Meg Kinnard in Columbia, S.C.; Kristi Eaton in Sioux Falls, S.D.; and Steve Karnowski in Minneapolis contributed to this report.
