Some stood in the back, others lined the walls as the last seats were filled. Senior Emma Yoder, President of Earthkeepers, Professor Doug Graber Neufeld, and President Susan Schultz Huxman all participated as panel members to share perspectives from the student body, faculty, and administration. The panel, organized by senior Emerson Brubaker and working with the Center for Sustainable Climate Solutions (CSCS), was designed to begin honest conversations between the student body and administration about addressing climate change at EMU. The town hall “showed the necessity of dialogue needing to be achieved,” Brubaker said following the event. “The fact Kiana Childress Senior Clara Weybright and first-year Aden Weybright speak out at EM U ’s Climate Town Hall with President Susan Schultz Huxman. that it was a Monday morning, it was poorly advertised, and PREVIEW: NEWS & FEATURE yet at least 70 people showed Students grieve tragic loss of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant up, I think makes it pretty Father-Son Duo obvious that there needs to be Adam Moyer a channel of communication Showcases Art Managing Editor between administration and Michael and Alden Hough’s On a gusty December the previous season, came Arena, more than 2,500 miles students.” evening in 2008, seventh- out of the locker room to from Los Angeles, “MVP” Though not the art exhibit is on display next grader Christian Newborn warm up an hour before any chants rained down from the first conversation with to Common Grounds until entered the safe hands other player.

For the metallic nanoparticles decorated graphene aerogels composites, the fabrication of hierarchically structured, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) aerogels with heavily metallic nanoparticles was realized. Higher loading of palladium nanoparticles in graphene aerogels leads to improved hydrogen gas sensing performance. For polymer derived ceramics (PDCs) composites with anisotropic electrical properties, the fabrication of composites was realized by embedding anisotropic reduced graphene oxide aerogels (rGOAs) into the PDCs matrix.

Propos recueillis le 24 février 2014 en marge d’une conférence à USC. « It was like you had black kids from New York in the 1960s being coached by white men from Mississippi. The cultural disconnect was that drastic. France, because of its colonies, half the team is black. There was a serious disconnect between the players and the staff. When I was a rookie, we had 3 meetings: one to manage your money, one for security matters, one to handle lovers. All this was meant to protect the NBA brand, the corporate brand. We’re athletes, but we’re more than athletes. I would love to see these corporations consider athletes as individuals, just as they consider themselves.

Jones Minor League Basketball Organizations: Making Them Work 2002 Advisor: Professor Larry Litwin Master of Arts Degree Minor league basketball organizations have wilted under the competition's spotlight. These leagues tried to present fans with an entertaining alternative to professional sports. Minor league basketball's efforts to entertain fans have been unsuccessful. This study examines why these organizations have not succeeded. Through interviews, research and survey results potential solutions have been discovered. Eighty surveys were distributed to teams and executives from basketball organizations. The surveys obtained information on ticket prices, attendance and reasons why minor league basketball has struggled. The study revealed that minor league basketball suffers from a lack of leadership, fan interest and financial stability.
