Edmund Hillary
Pawel Kopczynski/Reuters
Sir Edmund Hillary, the lanky New Zealand mountaineer and explorer, along with Tenzing Norgay, his Sherpa guide, won worldwide acclaim in 1953 by becoming the first to scale the 29,035-foot summit of Mount Everest, the world's tallest peak.
In the annals of great heroic exploits, the conquest of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund and Mr. Torgay ranks with the first trek to the South Pole by Roald Amundsen in 1911 and the first nonstop trans-Atlantic flight by Charles A. Lindbergh in 1927.
By 1953, nearly a century after British surveyors had established that the Himalayan peak on the Nepal-Tibet border was the highest point on earth, many climbers considered the mountain all but unconquerable. The summit was 5 ½ vertical miles above sea level (up where today's jets fly): an otherworldly place of yawning crevasses and 100-mile-an-hour winds, of perpetual cold and air so thin that the human brain and lungs do not function properly. Numerous Everest expeditions had failed, and dozens of experienced mountaineers, including many Sherpas had been killed — buried in avalanches or lost and frozen in sudden storms that roared over the dizzying escarpments.
Sir Edmund and Mr. Norgay were part of a Royal Geographical Society-Alpine Club expedition led by Col. Henry Cecil John Hunt — a siege group that included a dozen climbers, 35 Sherpa guides and 350 porters carrying 18 tons of food and equipment. Their route was the treacherous South Tor, facing toward Nepal.— Robert D. McFadden

Clippers 105, Sacramento 101
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sat, 03/31/07, 11:06am:
There's always a little extra satisfaction after a win in which your best player has one of his least productive outings of the season. With the exception of Elton[1], for everybody in the rotation who played more than 20 minutes, FGA<PTS. I'd cite three factors for Elton's struggles. First, despite his reputation as a soft defender, Abdur-Rahim played the Brand S/R tightly. He was physical and persistent. In addition, Sacramento's double-team was quick to Elton - Kevin Martin in particular. The Clips would've been well-served to set up Cat on the weak side, if only to put more responsibility for the double-team on Bibby. Finally, Jason Hart was determined to get his shots. There were a number of instances in which Hart had Elton coming off the Side S/R, but decided to take it himself. Elton still managed to get off 16 shots, but they were of the off-brand [ugh] variety, deep in the shot clock, sometimes over the double team.
How satisfying was that for Jason Hart, scoring 16 against a team - and a lousy team - that relegated him to the far end of the pine? A nice Jason Hart set:
- [1st, 6:03] Credit Aaron Williams and Elton Brand with getting Jason this shot: Thomas gets the ball to Mobley in the low right post. Artest hesitates for a second. When Cat sees Artest laying off TT, he quickly shoots the ball back out to TT at the top of the arc. Artest tries to recover, but Aaron Williams sets a firm screen on Artest[2], Bibby has to rotate over from Hart in the left corner to close on Thomas, which he does quickly enough to deter Thomas from launching a 3PA. Hart is all alone in the corner. It's 'Reef's rotation, but Elton throws his body between 'Reef and Hart. Thomas swings it over to Jason, who hits.
It's elementary, but when you set two solid screens like that in a set, what you basically set up is 5-on-3 basketball. And there isn't a team in the league who can't score in that situation.
All night, Bibby lays off Hart, which you can tell incites him to make Billy pay. When Bibby finally realizes that this is a losing strategy, guys like Tim Thomas begin to initiate the high S/R for Hart to free him up for open looks.
Quality Corey Maggette set for you:
- [2nd, 8:25] Hart up top gets a little half-drag screen from EB. What this does is force Artest to stay in the lane and pick up the diving Brand, rather than stay with Maggette as Corey moves out to the left wing. Hart gets it to Corey who, with Artest well off him, drives toward the lane. Before Artest can pick him back up, EB sets a quality down screen on Artest. So now Brad Miller has to collapse on the driving Maggette. Instead of sling up a lousy shot, Corey finds Miller's guy - Tim Thomas - now alone in the right corner. Corey dishes a pass to TT between the two collapsing defenders, and Thomas hits the three.
Chris Kaman? An efficient 5-6 night from the field with 12 boards. What was different? Absolutely nothing. Same opportunities as the other night, but this time he actually hits the chippies.
[1] What was that anyway? If ever there was a team you'd think Elton could destroy, it would be Sacramento with Miller and SAR defending the post.
[2] No easy task.

Comments about Heil Sound SB-2 Small Microphone Boom Arm:
I had an annoying niche to fill and this mic stand did the job quite nicely.
I was concerned upon ordering sight unseen, because of the low price. However after opening the box and removing the stand I could feel by the weight and heft of the piece that I had made the right choice.
Everything works like a charm. Pieces that should slide, do so effortlessly. Mounting brackets and tightening screws clamp and hold fast.
Nice extension and smooth swivel joints.
Only negative. Could use some plastic caps at the ends of the butterfly thumb tensioning lever. The sharp steel at the ends digs into your fingers when tightening.
Overall an excellent tool. Indispensible for those who have need of a clamping mic stand.
I you have that need look no further this little guy does the job quite nicely and looks great to boot.
Excellent design and indispensible in it's application and use.
Excellent! High grade materials and superb craftsmanship.
Excellent value. Solid construction and quality for the price.
Comments about Heil Sound SB-2 Small Microphone Boom Arm:
I love this well crafted mic holder/extention for my M-Audio Luna?. Being in a wheel chair presents all kind of problems for placement of most audio products and this is a great space saver and "out of sight out of mind". With the SB-2 I can bring the mic into play with a simple sweep of my hand, now it doesn't get any better than that.
Comments about Heil Sound SB-2 Small Microphone Boom Arm:
Heil's come up with a very cool mic boom solution. I'm using it in a guest position in a radio studio. The SB-2 is cleverly designed, and offers an extremely solid permanent mount for close-in use. The C-clamp mount works well for edge of table mounting, but check out the other mounting options, too. It's nicely adjustable, smooth in operation, and very well constructed. Should last for many years, unlike the broken, springy "flexy boom" disaster it replaced.

|Buckeyes Vacate 12 Wins In 2010
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Sunday, 10 July 2011 08:43
More bad news for the Ohio State football program.
In an effort to save the football program from more severe penalties, the Buckeyes, who were 12-1 and won the Sugar Bowl in 2010, will forfeit all those games in a self-imposed move by the university. The move comes in response to NCAA violations committed by football players who traded autographs and memorabilia for cash and tattoos—and by a coach who covered it up.

The comprehensive update brings the game to version 1.07.001 and provides many gameplay tweaks and a fix to prevent the vanishing squad icon bug appearing in new games started with this updated version.

text: The Utah Department of Wildlife Resources working with the county fire warden and the BLM started a fire in near the top of Mudwater Canyon on Tuesday afternoon to rid the area of densely packed sagebrush that was inhibiting wildlife growth. According to Chris Colt of the department, the burn will now provide better habitat for big game as well as for rabbits and rodents. In addition when their numbers grow it helps the raptor population as well because it helps the prey base. Around 20 acres were burned in the action and it will be reseeded to provide ground cover.

Clippers 111, Sacramento 85
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Thu, 01/24/08, 07:21am:
Sam Cassell has always been a heady player, but at 38, his basketball IQ is off the charts. At 6:00 in the first quarter, Sacramento settles into a zone for the first time. They have Artest at the top of the zone with Sam dribbling down court [Mike Bibby and Kevin Martin on the wings; Brad Miller and Mikki Moore down low].
For Cassell, this is so simple: Dribble past Artest – who won't chase him into the back part of the zone – pull up to about 11 feet, and take the open jumper before Moore has time to slide up from the block. In six seconds, Sam Cassell has broken the Sacramento zone. He recognizes that the zone commands the backcourt defenders give up on penetration, but the trees aren't going to have time to step out to 10 feet on a quick PUJ.
Cassell isn't the star of the game by any stretch. He finishes with 12 points on 4-10 FGs, though he dishes out seven assists. While I don't ascribe a lot of worth to intangibles in sports, Sam's instincts on the court – even when he's not shooting well…and, in those instances, when he's not overshooting -- undoubtedly make the Clippers a far more competent offensive squad. The Clippers are reasonably mediocre 10-14 in games in which Sam logs more than 10 minutes, and a cataclysmic 3-11 when he doesn't.
Something else out of tonight: Thornton's talent isn't raw. His game is very developed for a rookie. Sure, he'll learn to work more in the post but, by and large, his game is there. The trick for Al is shot selection -- learning how to turn a 7-17 night into a 7-14 night. He needs to put his three worst FGAs of the game in his back pocket or, at the very least, learn how to manufacture a trip to the stripe when the shot isn't there, à la Maggette. The project is already underway. In January, Thornton is shooting .489 from the field, which is stellar for anyone outside the pivot. The guy goes (7-17) and (9-11) and doesn't turn the ball over once. Favorite Thornton set of the night [pre- ordures]:
- [4th, 9:26] This is positively Wilkinsian. The Clips are in transition as Mobley gets the rock ahead to Thornton on the left side. Artest sets himself on the left edge of the key, waiting for Thornton. Al advances with a left-handed dribble. When he first makes contact with Artest at about 10 feet, Thornton collects the ball, makes a full 360 spin with a right pivot, sets that left foot right on the restricted arc, bounces off Artest to create just enough space for himself to go up with a strong right handed hook.
Two points and the foul. The Clippers open up their then-biggest lead of the night.
Chris Kaman records his third 20-20 game of the season, and has a beastly night against Brad Miller, whom he routinely shreds on defense. Best Kaman set:
- [3rd, 10:53] The Clips trail by one here early in the second half. The Kings are in a man-to-man. Kaman sets up on the low left block. The ball goes into Tim Thomas at the right elbow. What happens next is really encouraging and a little reminiscent of last March – Corey Maggette moves low to set a down screen on Brad Miller while the ball goes back out to Cuttino Mobley up top. This allows Chris to slide up and collect the ball from Mobley. Artest picks up Kaman on the switch from the right, but Kaman wisely spins left, then takes off with an easy drive to the rim for a layup.
This might be the best set of the night and it's so, so simple: Good off the ball work against one of the league's better defenders. What's frustrating about Maggette is that his body is perfectly equipped to be a lateral force in the offense on cross-screens, pick-and-pops, etc. Tonight, he does a nice job in that role, and still works 13 FGAs from the field – several of them in transition. Corey has one of his better games of the season, turnovers notwithstanding. He finishes beautifully in transition, he beats Artest in the post, Artest off the dribble, and sniffs out the zone to get himself an open 3PA which he drills.
Corey's efficiency is one of his best attributes, but there's something to be said for finding a quality shot as a first priority, then looking to draw contact if nothing's there – and not the other way around. And it's easier on the body.

|Williamson Set to Visit China
|Written by ASU Sports Information
|Thursday, 02 June 2011 11:55
Following a breakout junior season on the court in 2010-11, Appalachian State University men's basketball player Andre Williamson departs on Thursday for a three-week tour of China with mission group Athletes In Action.The group will spend a majority of the trip in Beijing with short visits to several other cities and the team of NCAA Division I players will compete in eight exhibition games and conduct clinics around the country, culminating with a contest against China's U22 national team.
"I'm blessed to have this opportunity in front of me for this summer," Williamson said. "This is the direction that I feel like God wants me to go. It's a great opportunity to play with other guys in similar situations and share this experience with them. The opportunity came to me and my mom really encouraged me to get involved and go for it."
Williamson will be joined on the trip by current players from schools around the country, including representation from teams in the ACC, the Big Ten, Conference USA and the Ivy League.
Aside from Beijing, the team will visit Shenyang, Liaoning and Xi'an. In addition to the 22-and-under Chinese national team, Williamson and the AIA squad will face upper-level Chinese Basketball Association teams as they wrap up the preseason.
Athletes In Action is an organization that allows college athletes a unique opportunity to use sports as a way to help others around the world.
The 6-7 forward scored 8.7 points and led the Mountaineers with 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game last season and is one of four starters returning for 2011-12.
Williamson follows in the footsteps of former teammate A.J. Highsmith, who spent 16 days in Israel in the summer of 2008 with Athletes In Action.

Kidney and Urologic Diseases
ED is the inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. ED can be a total inability to achieve an erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections.
ED is sometimes called impotence, but that word is being used less often so that it will not be confused with other, nonmedical meanings of the term.
The National Institutes of Health estimates that ED affects as many as 30 million men in the United States.1 Incidence increases with age: About 4 percent of men in their 50s and nearly 17 percent of men in their 60s experience a total inability to achieve an erection. The incidence jumps to 47 percent for men older than 75.2 But ED is not an inevitable part of aging. ED is treatable at any age.

Two chambers called the corpora cavernosa run the length of the penis (see Figure 1). A spongy tissue fills the chambers. The corpora cavernosa are surrounded by a membrane, called the tunica albuginea. The spongy tissue contains smooth muscles, fibrous tissues, spaces, veins, and arteries. The urethra, which is the channel for urine and ejaculate, runs along the underside of the corpora cavernosa and is surrounded by the corpus spongiosum.
An erection begins with sensory or mental stimulation, or both. Impulses from the brain and local nerves cause the muscles of the corpora cavernosa to relax, allowing blood to flow in through the arteries and fill the spaces. The blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand. The tunica albuginea helps trap the blood in the corpora cavernosa, thereby sustaining the erection. The erection ends when muscles in the penis contract to stop the inflow of blood and open the veins for blood outflow.
Figure 1. Arteries and veins of the penisArteries (top) and veins (bottom) penetrate the corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum. An erection occurs when relaxed muscles allow the corpora cavernosa to fill with excess blood fed by the arteries, while drainage of blood through the veins is blocked by the tunica albuginea.
ED usually has a physical cause, such as disease, injury, or side effects of drugs. Any disorder that causes injury to the nerves or impairs blood flow in the penis has the potential to cause ED.
Because an erection requires a precise sequence of events, ED can occur when any of the events is disrupted. The sequence includes nerve impulses in the brain, spinal column, and area around the penis, and response in muscles, fibrous tissues, veins, and arteries in and near the corpora cavernosa.
Damage to nerves, arteries, smooth muscles, and fibrous tissues, often as a result of disease, is the most common cause of ED. Diseases—such as diabetes, high blood pressure, nerve disease or nerve damage, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, and heart disease—account for the majority of ED cases. Patients should be thoroughly evaluated for these conditions before they begin any form of treatment for ED.
Lifestyle choices that contribute to heart disease and vascular problems also raise the risk of ED. Smoking, drinking alcohol excessively, being overweight, and not exercising are possible causes of ED.
Surgery—especially radical prostate and bladder surgery for cancer—can also injure nerves and arteries near the penis, causing ED. Injury to the penis, spinal cord, prostate, bladder, and pelvis can lead to ED by harming nerves, smooth muscles, arteries, and the fibrous tissues of the corpora cavernosa.
In addition, ED can be a side effect of many common medicines such as blood pressure drugs, antihistamines, antidepressants, tranquilizers, appetite suppressants, and cimetidine, an ulcer drug.
Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, guilt, depression, low self-esteem, and fear of sexual failure can also cause ED. Even when ED has a physical cause, psychological factors may make the condition worse.
Hormonal abnormalities, such as low levels of testosterone, are a less frequent cause of ED.
A person's medical and sexual histories help define the degree and nature of ED. The medical history can disclose diseases that lead to ED, and a simple recounting of sexual activity might identify problems with sexual desire, erection, ejaculation, or orgasm.
Use of certain prescription or illegal drugs can suggest a chemical cause because drug effects are a frequent cause of ED.
A physical examination can give clues to systemic problems. For example, if the penis is not sensitive to physical touch, a problem in the nervous system may be the cause. Abnormal secondary sex characteristics, such as unusual hair pattern or breast enlargement, can point to hormonal problems, which would mean the endocrine system is involved. The doctor might discover a circulatory problem by observing decreased pulses in the wrist or ankles. And unusual characteristics of the penis itself could suggest the source of the problem—for example, a penis that bends or curves when erect could be the result of Peyronie's disease.
Several laboratory tests can help diagnose ED. Tests for systemic diseases include blood counts, urinalysis, lipid profile, and measurements of creatinine and liver enzymes. Measuring the amount of available testosterone in the blood can yield information about problems with the endocrine system and may explain why a patient has decreased sexual desire.
Monitoring erections that occur during sleep—nocturnal erections—can help rule out certain psychological causes of ED. Healthy men have involuntary erections during sleep. If nocturnal erections do not occur, then ED is likely to have a physical rather than a psychological cause. Tests for nocturnal erections are not completely reliable, however. Scientists have not standardized such tests and have not determined when they should be conducted for best results.
A psychosocial examination, using an interview and a questionnaire, can reveal psychological factors. A man's sexual partner may also be interviewed to determine expectations and perceptions during sexual intercourse.
Most doctors suggest that treatments proceed from least to most invasive. Making a few healthy lifestyle changes may solve the problem. Quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, losing excess weight, and increasing physical activity may help some men regain sexual function.
Cutting back on or replacing medicines that could be causing ED is considered next. For example, if a patient thinks a particular blood pressure medicine is causing problems with erection, he should tell his doctor and ask whether he can try a different class of blood pressure medicine.
Psychotherapy and behavior modifications in selected patients are considered next if indicated, followed by oral or locally injected drugs, vacuum devices, and surgically implanted devices. In rare cases, surgery involving veins or arteries may be considered.
Experts often treat psychologically based ED using techniques that decrease the anxiety associated with intercourse. The patient's partner can help with the techniques, which include gradual development of intimacy and stimulation. Such techniques also can help relieve anxiety during treatment for ED from physical causes.
Drugs for treating ED can be taken orally, injected directly into the penis, or inserted into the urethra at the tip of the penis.
Oral MedicationsIn March 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved sildenafil (Viagra), the first pill to treat ED. Since that time, vardenafil hydrochloride (Levitra) and tadalafil (Cialis) have also been approved. Additional oral medicines are being tested for safety and effectiveness.
Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis all belong to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors. Taken an hour before sexual activity, these drugs work by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis during sexual stimulation and allows increased blood flow.
The recommended dose for Viagra is 50 milligrams (mg), and the doctor may adjust this dose to 100 mg or 25 mg, depending on the patient. The recommended dose for either Levitra or Cialis is 10 mg, and the doctor may adjust this dose to 20 mg if 10 mg is insufficient. Lower doses of 5 mg and 2.5 mg are available for patients who take other medicines or have conditions that may decrease the body's ability to use the drug. The 5 mg and 2.5 mg doses of Cialis are FDA-approved for daily use.
None of these PDE inhibitors should be used more than once a day. Men who take nitrate-based drugs such as nitroglycerin pills for heart problems should not use any of the three drugs because the combination can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure. Also, men should tell their doctor if they take any drugs called alpha-blockers, which are used to treat prostate enlargement or high blood pressure. The doctor may need to adjust the ED prescription. Taking a PDE inhibitor and an alpha-blocker within 4 hours of each other can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure. A small number of men have experienced vision or hearing loss after taking a PDE inhibitor. Men who experience vision or hearing loss should seek prompt medical attention.
Oral testosterone can reduce ED in some men with low levels of natural testosterone, but it is often ineffective and may cause liver damage. Patients also have claimed that other oral drugs—including yohimbine hydrochloride, dopamine and serotonin agonists, and trazodone—are effective, but the results of scientific studies to substantiate these claims have been inconsistent. Improvements observed following use of these drugs may be examples of the placebo effect—that is, a change that results simply from the patient's belief that an improvement will occur.
Injectable MedicationsWhile oral medicines improve the response to sexual stimulation, they do not trigger an automatic erection as injections do. Many men achieve stronger erections by injecting drugs into the penis, causing it to become engorged with blood. Drugs such as papaverine hydrochloride, phentolamine, and alprostadil widen blood vessels. The injectable form of alprostadil is marketed as Caverject. These drugs may create unwanted side effects, however, including scarring of the penis and persistent erection, known as priapism. Nitroglycerin ointment, a muscle relaxant, can sometimes enhance an erection when rubbed on the penis.
A system for inserting a pellet of alprostadil into the urethra uses a prefilled applicator to deliver the pellet about an inch into the urethra. The pellet form of alprostadil is marketed as MUSE. An erection will begin within 8 to 10 minutes and may last 30 to 60 minutes. The most common side effects are aching in the penis, testicles, and area between the penis and rectum; a warm or burning sensation in the urethra; redness from increased blood flow to the penis; and minor urethral bleeding or spotting.
Research on drugs for treating ED is expanding rapidly. Patients should ask their doctor about the latest advances.
Mechanical vacuum devices cause an erection by creating a partial vacuum, which draws blood into the corpora cavernosa, engorging and expanding the penis. The devices have three components: a plastic cylinder, into which the penis is placed; a pump, which draws air out of the cylinder; and an elastic ring, which is moved from the end of the cylinder to the base of the penis as the cylinder is removed. The elastic ring maintains the erection during intercourse by preventing blood from flowing back into the body (see Figure 2). The elastic ring can remain in place up to 30 minutes. The ring should be removed after that time to restore normal circulation and to avoid skin irritation.
Couples may find that using a vacuum device requires some practice or adjustment. An erection achieved with a vacuum device may not feel like an erection achieved naturally. The penis may feel cold or numb and have a purple color. Bruising on the shaft of the penis may occur, but the bruises are usually painless and disappear in a few days. Ejaculation may be weakened because the elastic ring blocks some of the semen from traveling through the urethra, but the pleasure of orgasm is usually not affected.
Figure 2. Vacuum deviceA vacuum device causes an erection by creating a partial vacuum around the penis, which draws blood into the corpora cavernosa.
Surgery usually has one of three goals:
Implanted devices, known as prostheses, can restore erection in many men with ED.
Malleable implants usually consist of paired rods, which are inserted surgically into the corpora cavernosa. The user manually adjusts the position of the penis and, therefore, the rods. Adjustment does not affect the width or length of the penis.
Inflatable implants consist of paired cylinders, which are surgically inserted inside the penis and can be expanded using pressurized fluid (see Figure 3). Tubes connect the cylinders to a fluid reservoir and a pump, which are also surgically implanted. The patient inflates the cylinders by pressing on the small pump, located under the skin in the scrotum. The pump causes fluid to flow from a reservoir residing in the lower pelvis to two cylinders residing in the penis. Inflatable implants can expand the length and width of the penis to some degree. They also leave the penis in a more natural state than malleable implants do when not inflated.
Once a man has either a malleable or inflatable implant, he must use the device to have an erection. Possible problems with implants include mechanical breakdown and infection, although mechanical problems have decreased in recent years because of technological advances.
Figure 3. Surgical implantWith an inflatable implant, an erection is produced by squeezing a small pump implanted in the scrotum. The cylinders expand to create the erection.
Surgery to repair arteries can reduce ED caused by obstructions that block the flow of blood. The best candidates for such surgery are young men with discrete blockage of an artery because of an injury to the groin or fracture of the pelvis. The procedure is usually unsuccessful in older men with widespread blockage.
Surgery to veins that allow blood to leave the penis usually involves an opposite procedure—intentional blockage. Blocking off veins, called ligation, can reduce the leakage of blood that diminishes the rigidity of the penis during an erection. However, experts have raised questions about the long-term effectiveness of this procedure, and it is rarely done.
Advances in suppositories, injectable medications, implants, and vacuum devices have expanded the options for men seeking treatment for ED. These advances have also helped increase the number of men seeking treatment. Gene therapy for ED is now being tested in several centers and may offer a long-lasting therapeutic approach for ED.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) sponsors programs aimed at understanding and treating ED. The NIDDK's Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases supported the researchers who developed Viagra and continue to support basic research into the mechanisms of an erection and the diseases that impair normal function at the cellular and molecular levels, including diabetes and high blood pressure.
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

As you explore new industries and business issues in the classroom, experiential learning experiences outside of class will help you build on these concepts and carve out a niche for yourself. The University of Texas at Austin and the McCombs School of Business are rich with opportunities to hear world-renowned speakers, participate in business plan and case competitions, attend interdisciplinary conferences, and join student organizations. Many of these activities are student-initiated and could not happen without the ambition and passion of our students.
Have a business idea you are interested in developing? The University of Texas at Austin offers unique entrepreneurial resources and competitions to help you get your idea off the ground.
The Venture Labs Investment Competition, creates an environment in which the world's most entrepreneurial MBAs solicit startup funds from experienced investors in a simulation mirroring the real-world process of raising venture capital. MBAs from around the globe converge in Austin each May to present their business plans to panels of investors, demonstrating diverse and creative perspectives on business and society.
Founded as "Moot Corp" in 1984, the VLIC is both the first and longest operating, inter-business school, new-venture competition in the world. The competition's winners earn $110,000 in prizes as well as a year's office space and overhead costs in the Austin Technology Incubator. About half of each year's teams actually go on to start companies based on their ideas.
In addition to the Texas Venture Labs Investment Competition, the Idea to Product Competition and the Dell Social Innovation Competition are two other national competitions hosted by The University of Texas.
The Texas MBA+ Leadership Program facilitates an individually-tailored leadership experience for those MBAs interested in professional development opportunities and gaining additional experience in a new function or industry while still in school. Unique to the Texas MBA program, MBA+ provides an evolving series of services, micro-consulting projects, and workshops that connect our MBAs to companies of interest. The program improves communication skills and helps to keep our students ahead of the curve. As recruiters search for applicable experience, "fit," and initiative from among candidates around the globe, MBA+ helps propel Texas MBAs to the top of their lists.
Of particular note are the MBA+ micro-consulting projects. Similar to a summer internship experience, these projects allows a team of four to seven Working Professional MBA students to tackle a well-defined business project provided by a participating organization. You and your team act as consultants on projects that address real issues a company is facing and present your solutions to the management team. This not only gives you exposure to future job possibilities, it connects you with potential mentors in your desired field.

While dark red lips are definitely an Autumn trend, I've been on the search for deep red/berry lipsticks for over a year now. Berry and Oxblood reds are my favourite colours to wear, but also very hard to find – my lips tend to pull things cool, so berry reds that have purple hints turn into full on plum shades on me, and berry reds with pinky tones end up as deep pinks on my lips. And that's fine. But it's not what I want.
So far I've found that only Suqqu Ichijiku and Guerlain Samsara satisfy my dark red craving, but now I can add another lipstick to the mix: Burberry Deep Burgundy Lip Cover.
The shade
Deep Burgundy is a red wine (funnily enough) shade. It has very slightly pink undertones but otherwise reads as a deep neutral red-brown.
The formula
The Burberry Lip Cover formula is good. It's not my favourite (Suqqu Creamy Glow, Guerlain Rouge Automatique, Lavshuca Dramatic Memory Rouge are some of my favourite lipstick formulas), but I'm not complaining.
- It has a fair amount of slip – a little bit less than I'm used to – but it's definitely on the creamy side so it glides on quite easily.
- It's moderately moisturising, which on my lips is fine, but it could be an issue for those prone to dryness.
- Lasting power is good. In my mind it's not fantastic, but I tend to favour very very stainy products, so take that with a pinch of salt. For a normal lipstick, lasting power is very good.
I'm not 100% sold on the formula because I tend to feel it on my lips, even when I've just blotted it down to a stain. It's difficult to explain, but with most of my lipsticks, especially when I've blotted them down, the only way that I can tell that I'm wearing lipstick is by looking in the mirror and seeing the colour. With the Burberry I'm very aware of the lipstick sitting on my lips and it makes me a bit uneasy. It's an irrational uneasiness because when I touch my lips with my fingers, they don't come away coated in lip product, and the lipstick doesn't smudge all over my face etc. but it's an uneasiness nonetheless.
The swatches
Guerlain Rouge Automatique Samsara, Burberry Lip Cover no.21 Deep Burgundy, Suqqu Creamy Glow #17 Ichijiku (reviewed here).
And just to be annoying, the swatches are swapped around:
Suqqu Ichijiku, Burberry Deep Burgundy, Guerlain Samsara
The swatches are deceptively similar on my arm. However, the tonal differences – while they register very faintly on my arm – are amplified when applied on lips, so these slight changes in nuance are important.
- Ichijiku : Similar depth, but with a terracotta/brick base
- Deep Burgundy : A deep wine red, slight pinkiness
- Samsara : Similar depth, less opaque base, and leaning more pink
The application
Apologies in advance for lack of makeup, and slightly damp hair (I washed it the night before and apparently it takes about 16 hours to dry…)
Here's Deep Burgundy freshly applied, full intensity.
Here it is blotted down
The verdict
I adore this lipstick shade, it's exactly what I've been looking for and it's a great addition to my (tiny) collection of vampy dark red lipsticks. While the depth is the same, Deep Burgundy's lack of prominent pink/purple/orange undertones makes it very different from other berry and oxblood lipsticks I've tried.
Burberry Deep Burgundy is great if you're on the hunt for an autumnal berry red, but if your lips are prone to dryness, you may want to try before you buy.
What are your favourite vampy lip shades? As I mentioned, my vamp collection is tiny, so I need ideas to build it up!

December is upon us and you know what that means: presents, presents, presents galore! While undoubtedly some of you are all set and know just what you're giving, hopefully the rest of our dear readers will find this holiday gift guide inspiring and (ideally) helpful.
Style Setter
What does one give the girl who not only has everything chic, but also gets it and wears it before anyone else? You have two options: the slightly obscure route (little luxuries she'd never think of getting for herself) or the path of brilliant basics (those wardrobe building-blocks she'd adore ).
1. The Row T-Shirt ($200)
Sure, it's a crazy expensive tee, but this is the ideal gift for a fashion-forward girl. If she doesn't have something by The Row, this key item will make her flip out with excitement. Not to mention she'll wear it constantly-and always think of you! [Also, while the above link is the only place to find The Row online, most Barneys carry this shirt, in an array of colors, at slightly lower prices.]
2. Pantera Oversized Cobra Skin Clutch ($415)
Style aficionados always invest in handbags, but they may skimp in the luxurious evening bag department. The oversized shape of this clutch, plus its perfectly neutral color and discrete design, make it particularly perfect.
3. Garland Collection Monogrammed Necklace ($960)
There's something simply sublime about the rose gold necklace from fashion-editor/writer -turned-jewelry designer Nicole Mann Novick. It's also a thoroughly romantic, totally original present as well. Significant others, we highly suggest making a grand gesture and get one with your initials and your love's as well. (Available in yellow and white gold at Kaviar and Kind, 310.659.9523)
4. Alexander McQueen Garden Fairies Scarf ($430)
McQueen's scarves are a highly collectable commodity in the fashionable set and this black-and-white, fairy-print, silk/wool scarf will be much loved and fondly treasured.
5. Michael Antonio Tarsus Hidden Platform Bootie ($64.90)
These shoes are very of-the-moment, have an incredibly reasonable price, and they look like something Sienna Miller would wear. One of the just-mentioned facts-let alone all three-make these booties a must-give present.
6. French Vogue ($153.67)
It doesn't matter if your chic friend doesn't understand a lick of French, the insanely brilliant photography and always interesting editorial selects are ultra satisfying.
7. Yves Saint Laurent DVD ($23.99)
While she's waiting for Lagerfeld Confidential to hit her Netflix queue, your fabulous friend will no doubt enjoy the double documentaries Yves Saint Laurent: His Life and Times and Yves Saint Laurent: 5 Avenue Marceau.
Social Butterfly
Whether she's passing canapés at home or claiming the best banquette at her favorite bar, everyone has a friend who's always entertaining. As she's equal parts hostess-with-the-mostess and gal-about-town, we found gifts that will indulge both sides of her social style.
1. Mrs. John L. Strong Ornamental Belt Stationary ($95 for 20 cards)
Gorgeous stationary is the hallmark of a good hostess. If she's got Mrs. John L. Strong note cards, well, she gets upgraded from good to exemplary.
2. 3.1 Phillip Lim Pleated Swing Dress ($770)
It's rare that a dress looks like it embodies fun on the hanger, but this black organza, pleated frock just seems like a blast. Like your social butterfly friend, this dress belongs on a dance floor.
3. D. L. & Co. Seven Deadly Sins Plates ($250)
If you don't get greedy and keep these seven, gold-edged, porcelain plates for your own table, we promise the recipient of this gift will be delighted. Each plate has one of the big sins scrolled in gold and is 8.5" wide (works for salad or dessert).
4. Acme Studio Fingerprints Business Card Case ($31)
Just because there are cocktails involved doesn't mean it's all play and no work. It's only natural to combine a little networking with socializing, right? This amusing (and pedigreed, it was designed by James Wines) card case will keep the ducks in a row.
5. J.Crew Starburst Ring ($50)
The social butterfly obviously needs a great cocktail ring and we're currently crazy about this vintage-style number from J. Crew. It's made of solid brass with gold-tone plating and hematite stones.
6. Nine West Mae Boutique 9 Flats ($130)
While heels would be an obvious choice, these dark red patent leather flats are a darling and unexpected choice. (They're also very Ferragamo, no?)
Type A
Just because a certain gal you know is devoted to her job doesn't mean she's a corporate drone. Remind that workaholic in your life that you know how hard the hustle is and that you're proud of her with the following cool gifts.
1. 3.1 Phillip Lim Patent Tote Bag ($621)
Way more interesting than the usual schlepper, this patent tote is sizeable enough to hold all the Type A accoutrements.
2. Topshop Eyelash Lace Underwired Bra ($32) and Eyelash Lace Mini ($12)
This might look like just a set of black lace and electric blue satin underthings, but this is, in fact, power lingerie meant to go under a power suit. Okay, we're kidding about that, but it's certainly a better present than another pen, right?
3. R.J. Graziano Studded Cuffs ($125 each)
The gold-plate studs and leather band on these cuffs are that ideal mixture of tough and sophisticated. The one-inch wide bracelets are available in black or chocolate leather and look particularly fearsome when wore stacked.
4. Topshop Tuxedo Jacket with Satin Trim ($160)
One of the great recent trends is the profusion of smart, really well cut, insanely sexy tuxedo jackets. As the Type A is no doubt equipped with blazers galore, but this satin trimmed number goes from day to night effortlessly and will be a welcome wardrobe addition.
5. Tivoli Sirius Table Radio ($299)
While neither Sirius nor this Tivoli radio is groundbreaking, the idea that you could turn your busy, possibly out-of-touch, friend onto new (or old) music they love? Radical. If nothing else, they're sure to love the peerless musings of our favorite DJ, Jenny Eliscu. (You can also give your busy someone a Sirius internet radio account, so they can listen online.)
The wonderful part about the following presents is that they work equally well for givers and recipients alike. If you have a green conscience, you will be happy to hand off these gifts, as they all have integrity and soul. Also, there's sure to be something on this list that will appeal to your most eco-minded companions.
1. Amana Hananne Silk Shirt ($142)
A crisp, impeccably tailored shirt is hard to find, let alone one that's made from a wild and organic silk mixture.
2. iWood Bamboo Sunglasses ($350)
These attractively designed shades are hand made from sustainably harvested wood. If this shape isn't ideal for the green gal (or guy, most of iWood's frames are unisex), there are lots of other styles to choose from.
3. Antarctica: The Global Warming ($34.65)
This devastatingly beautiful book by Sebastian Copeland shows the reality of global warming through heartbreaking photographs and stark writings. The foreword by Mikhail Gorbachev (and introduction by Leonardo DiCaprio) is a must-read as well.
4. Foley + Corinna Handbags
Country Tote ($444)
The smarties at Foley + Corinna have created one of their popular totes in burlap with leather trim exclusively for Shopbop. We were pleased to learn that the burlap is totally biodegradable while the style is totally classic.
5. VerdeRocks Ivy League Cuff ($179)
Who could resist the luxe statement of this elaborate cuff? Made from antique jewelry, the bracelet features intricate ivy wrapped around a shield.
6. Josie Maran Lipstick ($18)
When models try their hands at other industries, the results are either glorious (Tyra Banks/talk show, Heidi Klum/Project Runway) or sad and odd (Naomi Campbell/solo music album "Baby Woman"). Josie Maran seems to be taking the non-Naomi route with her new, eco-friendly line of makeup.
7. Camilla Norrback High Waist Button Skirt ($210)
And finally, we have one of our favorite pieces, this divine, high-waisted, gray skirt from Swedish designer Camilla Norrback. Norrback uses environmentally friendly technology for producing fabrics and we think any woman would love the lines of this skirt.

A collection approximately 1,600 full-text articles on world writers from ancient Greece and Rome to the present (including some literary genres), drawn from 13 series published by Scribner starting 1974-1998. Articles are by established scholars and offer in-depth introductory studies with extensive bibliographies. See also the Dictionary of Literary Biography articles included in Literature Resource Center.
An artist's book is a work of art that takes the form of a book. But what does that mean? And what counts as a book, anyway? Is it a bunch of pages that have been bound together, or is there more to it than that?
These are the kinds of questions that artists' books try to answer. They play with both the form and the function of books as objects, encouraging onlookers to question traditional conceptualizations of "books." They are usually handmade, often unique, and all different from one another. Because most artist's books are hand-made and only crafted in small, limited runs, they offer artists a special opportunity to create books that are intensely personal.
All of the books featured in this exhibit are part of Miami University's Walter Havighurst Special Collections. The materials on display reflect a concentrated effort to build a diverse, provocative collection that will challenge students to reconsider their notion of "books" while also paying tribute to the creativity and innovation of book artists across the globe.

There is a good chance that you need to send a birthday gift to a friend this month or next. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, more people in the United States have their birthdays in August than any other month, followed by July and September.
There is also a good chance that you need to send a birthday gift to a friend on October 5, which is the most popular birth date in the United States. (Rumor has it that New Year's Eve is the conception date for those kids.)
While I'm on a roll, there is also a good chance that you need to send a birthday gift to a friend next Tuesday since Tuesday is the most popular day of the week for Americans to be born.
Ok, enough with the stats. You need gift ideas!
- Check out the More than a Pound Cake Candy Bouquet. It's Candy.com's top-selling candy bouquet and it's 16-plus ounces of cool.
- The Blow Out The Candles Candy Gift Basket has an option to add a personalized wrapper to the Cookies & Crème bar for an extra $1. Cheap and clever!
- Take your friends and family members down memory lane with the Blast From the Past Candy Gift Basket filled with full-size Mr. Goodbar and Zero bars, Sugar Babies, Dots, Bit-O-Honey, Twizzlers, Pixy Stix, candy buttons, and more.
- Make your birthday cards really memorable (and edible) by including a snack-sized bag of Jelly Belly Happy Birthday Jelly Beans or hand out these little bags of beans at your own birthday party.
Now back to mindless birthday stats … I just found out that I am 1,364,552,283 seconds old, I could have boiled 5.05 ounces of water with the number of candles on my 2010 cake, and that I was conceived on a Monday and born on a Monday. TMI? Definitely, but plug in your birth date at PaulSadowski.com/birthday.asp and you'll get TMI, too.

The Northern New York Community Foundation has awarded scholarships totaling $740,662 to 352 students for the 2012-13 school year, and that number is expected to continue to rise.
Executive Director Rande S. Richardson said while about half of that amount comes from the foundations unrestricted funds, the other half is specific to certain high schools, colleges or named scholarships.
Overall, its the largest portion of investment into our community, he said. What youll see is the Northern New York Community Foundation program may stabilize, but we may see more growth in restricted scholarships.
While 11 new scholarships were introduced for this school year, the foundation is also in talks with three school districts to transfer their scholarship endowments to the foundation.
April L. Fallon, coordinator of partnerships, said the 2012-13 grant amount was an increase of $58,092 from the $682,570 total awarded throughout the 2011-12 school year to 303 students. Grant awards mostly ranged from $2,000 to $5,000. Recipients will use that money to study at a total of 102 colleges, universities or trade schools throughout the country. About one-third of recipients will study in Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties.
Its pretty amazing to think a lot of students even from really small schools here are going to schools such as Princeton University, Ms. Fallon said. This year we even had one nontraditional student who went for culinary school.
The total scholarship amount for the 2012-13 school year included $30,000 earmarked for St. Lawrence County students. Mr. Richardson said that is the fourth academic year since the foundation expanded its academic support in St. Lawrence County, and people there continue to show interest in supporting the program to expand it further.
Since 1980, the foundation has awarded more than $11.1 million in scholarships, with more than half of that in the last 10 years.
Excluded from that number is matching funds from colleges that participate in Scholarship Americas Dollars for Scholars Program, to which the foundation belongs. According to a Community Foundation news release, 24 students who received a scholarship through the foundation also received additional funds, totaling $24,750, as a match from their college.
The foundation provides scholarships for full-time undergraduate students and nontraditional students at any level of college or technical school. Applications are available in February of each year and are due April 1. More information may be found on the agencys website at www.nnycf.org.

1 of 1
2/2/15 by Jennrdiehn | Easley, SC
Yes, I recommend this product.
"This is the third pair I have bought in two years. I wear them for work, where I am on my feet up to 10 hours a day, so I wear them out. The comfort level is perfect for the concrete floors, and the soles have a good grip and still look new even after I've worn out the rest of the shoe. The arch support is ideal for my plantar fasciitis and helps me last through the day. So long as these shoes are available, I'll keep buying them!"
