The International Summer School at the Rouen Business School is an intensive 2 or 4-week program open to undergraduates and Master's level students of all disciplines who wish to experience France and French culture, develop cross-cultural skills and in depth understanding of Business Ethics and International Negotiation skills while at the same time earning up to 10 ECTs credits.
The program is divided into 2 sessions of 2 weeks which can be taken separately or together. The first session focuses on Business Ethics in a Changing World while the second focuses on Global Management Practices and an intensive International Negotiation Workshop. In addition, participants will have the chance to participate in several workshops on French culture and European history, including:
• Wine tastings,
• Gastronomic meals
• Workshops on French language
• Cinema
• Art and music
• Excursions to Monet's Garden and the impressionist museum in Giverny
• A tour of the Normandy Landing Beaches
Finally the historic city of Rouen provides an excellent location from which to explore Paris and the rest of Europe.
SESSION 1: week
Business Ethics in a Changing World
In a time of financial crisis and corporate abuse, this course explores the complex and often confusing ethical landscape of modern business. It looks at the very real ethical and moral dilemmas faced by business people in a globalized and rapidly changing world. It examines why ethics are important in business, what level of social responsibility we can expect from business leaders, what fosters an ethical culture in businesses and organizations, what contemporary forces in international business are corrupting the fragile and delicatet issue of ethical principle, value-based action, and moral constraint in the global economy as well as examining the complications caused by rapid technological innovation.
SESSION 2: 2 weeks
Global Leadership & International Negotiation – Embracing diversity in the workplace and doing business across borders
Effective global management requires excellent cross-cultural
management skills as well as a good grounding in negotiation fundamentals. Therefore, the first part of the course aims to provide students with practical tools which will enable them to effectively analyze and respond to cross-cultural conflicts that they will encounter in their professional lives by looking at the effect of culture on global business plans, human resource managerial strategies, and social & business gatherings. In the second part of the class, students go beyond theories, and through a series of practical case studies, will have the opportunity to improve their interpersonal skills in intercultural negotiation situations including preparing for negotiations, effective negotiation strategy, responding to arguments and overcoming cognitive, emotional, cultural and institutional obstacles as well as touching briefly on multi-party and agent negotiations and overcoming conflict through mediation.
Tuition fees (include courses, lunches, visits and accommodation)
SESSION 1 Business Ethics in a Changing World, 2 weeks: € 1,600
SESSION 2 Global Leadership & International Negotiation, 2 weeks: € 1,600

Master in Management - Programme Grande Ecole

MBA Program
Distance from Rouen: 0 miles

Two leading teaching principles: multidisciplinary, intellectually challenging courses
Thanks to a clear architecture over 3 years (or 4 years with a gap year) the MGE delivers a solid core programme, based on the fundamentals of management and organisation. This block of general management skills is equally based on:
Increasingly demanding courses designed to consolidate knowledge throughout the curriculum
The de-compartmentalisation of courses in order to master each discipline transversally, thanks to innovative teaching methods: multidisciplinary case studies, student centred courses putting content into context, rather than lectures, a teaching approach which optimises the assimilation of knowledge...
A rich choice of specialisations, springboard to your first job
More than 20 attractive specialisations, in connection with basic management disciplines or regional areas of expertise, are proposed at the end of the curriculum. Offered on both campuses, they are a springboard to a successful entry onto the job market. They conclude with research work, identical to that required by the greatest universities in the world, thus placing the student at the highest level of international academic excellence.
A double degree can replace the specialisation at the end of the curriculum: 12 double degrees are available in France and 18 double degrees abroad, giving students a wide range of opportunities.
Personal development at the heart of the programme
Dedicated classes, individual guidance and opportunities to meet with experts…, the personal development of each student underlies the whole of the curriculum. This is made possible due to the approach inspired by the expectations and best practice of companies and implemented thanks to the expertise of our faculty. The objective? To help the student establish a clear vision of his or her career path, develop strong leadership skills and learn to make the most of their professional experiences.
Live abroad, on and off campus
The MGE enables students to live an international experience on a daily basis, and not only during the time they spend abroad. Every year, our school hosts international students of different nationalities. On campus multicultural exchanges are omnipresent: classes, conferences, student clubs and societies… This immersion guarantees a true international experience and gives you the keys to develop your career anywhere in the world.
A responsible and committed programme
The Master Grande Ecole seeks to train and guide students by giving them a sense of their individual responsibility: to be confident in the future, to take initiative, to have a sense of commitment, to listen and be part of a team. Thus, the curriculum includes, either as part of the core programme or as an option, through non-profit organisations for example, social projects with a view to developing one's humanitarian or social character.
Being responsible also means having local involvement. Therefore, a master Grande Ecole student will also play an active role in society and the local community. Two main areas have been identified: helping secondary school pupils strive for their ambitions, and assisting entrepreneurs.

Hi there. I have a simply question. Does BackTrack 3 support the Asus eee 1000H Wireless Card??? You know just airckracking etc.
And if so, what driver do i have to install? Thanks very much!
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

First, correct - private IP addresses are not routable over the Internet. You will need to configure address translation or port forwarding on your router.
Second, what are you actually targeting? If you haven't already configured the address translation or port forwarding above then nothing will actually be visible on your client machine to the Internet. There may be some administration/management ports open on your router but that will probably be it.
Finally, if it's your own private network and you don't have any public services running, then you may as well just test your machine over the local network.

Feng Shui is a practical art that is carried out since many generations and, seems that today's urban crowd is fascinated of this scientific art. No matter how small your home is, there are several convenient ways to improve the Feng Shui of the place, and that to without spending a lot of money. Speaking on how to decorate the house with Feng Shui ideas, let's get started with the living room.
The living room or drawing room is the kernel of the house. A place where numerous day-to-day activities are taking place such as watching television, reading, kids playing around, occasionally you are entertaining your guests etc. Since; we want to promote this place with more positive energy; Feng Shui plays a major role in helping the same. From wall colours to pictures and from drawing room furniture to its organizing, living room Feng Shui ideas is certain to help boost the positive energy. Here, are some ideas, that you can create the Feng Shui harmonized living room.
- The foremost thing you should understand is cleanliness, if the furniture is suffocative; the Feng Shui energy is bound to get suppressed. The more space your living room has, the more it becomes feasible for a positive energy to flow.
- Your living room furniture should be comfortable. Along with the features of modernization, it should be practical and providing comfort.
- The furniture of your living room should in proportion to the space and, in theme.
- The sofa seats should be of circular or octagonal in shape. The sofa backs and chair should not be facing towards the doorway.
- The centre space is not ideal for the television rather than a fire place should be the centre element of the living space.
- Colour your living room wall with lighter and brighter shades. If you are unable to change the wall colour, the least you can do is change the pictures. According to living room Feng Shui ideas, landscaping, scenery, waterfalls, a scene of a party where people are merrily enjoying the occasion can be hung.
- Mirrors on the other hand are wonderful tool to enhance Feng Shui in the living room. They make room bigger. The position of the mirror is where it can reflect the beautiful view along with keeping the theme in line.
- Green live plants are known to be better for the energy flow. It helps balance the Yang and Yin energy.
If you want to go in-depth and, design it your living room Feng Shui ideas, obtaining the "Bagua" an energy map of Feng Shui that, helps synchronize the things accordingly. Use the map to decorate the living area.

In the 1970s, back in the Advent days, I'd heard Henry Kloss tell stories about well-intentioned people designing speakers with the goal of a perfectly flat frequency response curve. It turns out that speakers that look perfect on paper often sound lifeless and flat. And while measurements certainly had their place, they were only part of the process.
A good speaker designer -- like Henry Kloss or Winslow Burhoe -- will do so much voicing work, with so many different speaker/cabinet/crossover variables, that they can predict how a speaker will sound without ever having played music through it.
Anyway, back to 1997. I finally cornered (literally) Henry back in his work area, told him about the article I wanted to write, and asked him what he thought was the secret to designing great-sounding speakers. He scowled (I think it was a scowl, it may have been his "normal" face that day), turned around, walked away 10 feet, and stood there thinking. About a minute later he turned around and said, "Fussing, fussing and fussing." Then he went back to work, without another word.

I do a lot of work with couples, whether they are married or not. Couples often need help dealing with conflict and making their communication more clear. Many times mates will take comments or relationship issues too personally. Help comes in the form of learning to be more clear and assertive in relating to others. You can discover how to take responsibility for your side of the relationship.

Purpura is purple-colored spots and patches that occur on the skin, organs, and in mucus membranes, including the lining of the mouth.
Blood spots; Skin hemorrhages
Purpura occurs when small blood vessels join together or leak blood under the skin.
When purpura spots are very small, they are called petechiae. Large purpura are called ecchymoses.
Platelets help the blood clot. A person with purpura may have normal platelet counts (nonthrombocytopenic purpuras) or low platelet counts (thrombocytopenic purpuras).
Nonthrombocytopenic purpuras may be due to:

Yahoo (and Alibaba) Earnings: What to Watch
Can Alibaba's growth make up for Yahoo's stagnation?
When Yahoo releases its earnings after the close of New York trading Tuesday, it will also release numbers on Alibaba because it owns a 24% stake in the company. The numbers are expected to show big gains by the Chinese e-commerce giant for holiday spending in its fourth quarter and whet investor appetite for Alibaba's coming initial public offering.
Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Mayer's turnaround attempt is stuck in neutral.
Yahoo has posted four consecutive quarters without revenue growth, a trend that may continue when the Internet portal reports first-quarter results after the bell. Analysts expect revenue of $1.08 billion, flat from a year earlier, and 37 cents a share in profit, down a penny from a year ago.
Mayer, who has been CEO for nearly two years, overhauled Yahoo's most popular sites and bought dozens of startups to add talent and technology. But she has failed to entice advertisers, which provide the bulk of Yahoo's revenue and continue to shift budgets to Google and Facebook. Mayer and finance chief Ken Goldman will appear on a video conference call with analysts at 5 p.m. ET.
Here are the key issues to watch for:
The State of Alibaba: Yahoo investors were disappointed with Alibaba's results in January, when year-over-year revenue growth slowed to 51%, compared with 61% in the previous three months and 71% in the period before that. The pace could pick up again, with Alibaba benefiting from an annual one-day shopping festival Nov. 11 that is larger than the two biggest online shopping days in the U.S. combined. The numbers will prelude Alibaba's highly anticipated IPO, which is expected in the third quarter. The deal could value Alibaba at more than $100 billion and net Yahoo a cash pile in the billions.
What's Happening With Mobile? Yahoo now has more than 400 million monthly active users of its apps for smartphones and tablets, making it one of the largest mobile software developers. But so far, its mobile-ads business isn't even large enough to be broken out as a separate line on earnings. That's a huge contrast to Facebook, which makes more than half of its revenue from mobile. Yahoo most likely will continue to keep its actual mobile revenue a secret, though the company might share new details on how various mobile-ad products are faring.
Is Tumblr Slowing? Mayer's 2013 purchase of Tumblr for $1.1 billion was at the time considered a gutsy play for a leading startup in social and mobile tech. Almost a year later, traffic to the blogging site may be declining and ad executives say Tumblr has lost momentum because of greater competition for "native ads" — marketing messages that look like posts created by users. If there are promising signs for Tumblr, now is a good time to share them.
The Video Strategy: Online video has become a centerpiece of Mayer's turnaround strategy as she seeks to keep people on the company's pages watching videos — and with them high-priced video ads. Yahoo has been in talks to acquire video syndication service News Distribution Network for close to $300 million and plans to buy four original Web series. Look for the CEO to make a strong case for making big investments in this costly – and highly-competitive – field.

Poly's 21-16 victory over No.2 seed Mission Viejo in the second round was the Jackrabbits' first upset victory. Their 13-10 win over third-seeded St. John Bosco in Friday's semifinals at Veterans Stadium may have been even more astonishing because of the manner in which it was earned.
The Braves entered the game averaging 40.5 points and 385.2 yards of total offense and had not lost on the field in 12 previous games.
Their offense was held to three points (the SJB touchdown came off an interception return) and 112 yards by Poly.
On Monday, St. John Bosco coach Jason Negro offered no excuses. Rather, he praised the Jackrabbits.
"I just think that we ran into a real hot Long Beach Poly team and we just really couldn't get any momentum going, any kind of rhythm," Negro said. "They did a good job of disrupting what we wanted to do."
By the time the Jackrabbits (10-3) and Braves squared off, there probably shouldn't have been any remaining doubters regarding Poly because it had already beaten Mission Viejo. Negro was asked if perhaps either the coaching staff at St. John Bosco, its players - or both - might not have taken the Jackrabbits seriously.
"I would say 100 percent no," Negro said. "We had a great week of practice. There was no indication we took them lightly. We did not approach it that way. The kids were excited about playing them, knew they were good, prepared properly.
"They were just better than us that night."

Super Mario
Mario Galvin might just be the best striker option on the Downey High boys soccer team this year. However, the Vikings will have to wait an extra week to get him on the pitch.
And they are more than happy about it. That's because Galvin is also the kicker for the Downey football team, which will face La Serna in the CIF-SS Southeast Division championship game on Saturday night.
Last week, leading up to the Vikings' semifinal game against Santa Fe, Galvin begged coach Ian MacFadyen to allow him to play in the soccer team's scrimmage game against Poly.
"There's no way," MacFadyen said. "He could win a CIF ring."
Galvin never asked football coach Jack Williams what he thought about him playing soccer, probably because he already knew the answer.
Galvin booted 47 PATs and eight field goals for the Vikings, including the game-winner against Norwalk in the second round of the playoffs.
"We wouldn't be where we are without him," Williams said.
Galvin is the school's best kicker in a number of years.
"He's the only all-league kicker we've had since John Lee," Williams said.
Lee, who kicked a CIF-record five field goals in one game in 1980, became a two-time All-American at UCLA before being picked 32nd overall in the 1986 NFL draft.

Senior moment
Senior co-captains Mark Kozhaya, Marlon Duenas, Jeremy Villa and Robert Salazar may have worn the biggest smiles among hundreds of jubilant fans Friday night following Downey's 35-3 semifinal football victory over Santa Fe.
Tired of early playoff exits, they went to Williams and his staff before the season to ask that they be pushed even harder than normal, beyond what Williams had asked of them in his first two years in charge.
Four months later, the results have been phenomenal. The Vikings shared the San Gabriel Valley League crown, then opened the Southeast Division playoffs with a victory, their first in the postseason since 1999. After Friday's semifinal victory, Downey is 10-3 and will play La Serna on Saturday in its first CIF final since 1957.
"The seniors stepped up this year a lot," said Kozhaya, the Vikings' 300-pound left tackle, "... but it was a team effort. ... This year, it just clicked, the whole program clicked."
As he expected, Williams saw a few players quit the team under the new demands. But he was left with a core group that was willing to put in the work required.
"It was kind of tough the first few days," Williams said, "but (the ones who stayed) bought in."
"This means a lot," Kozhaya said. "All the seniors have grown up since our freshman year playing with each other. ... This means a lot to us and to the city of Downey."
Saturday's game will be a rematch of a Week 1 nonleague contest won by La Serna 28-27.

Power trip
Poly defeated St. John Bosco 13-10 in the Pac-5 football semifinals on Friday. Their cross country teams never got the chance to run head-to-head in the postseason with Poly running in Division I and St. John Bosco in Division III.
In the state cross country championships at Woodward Park on Saturday, Poly placed fifth in the Division I final for the Jackrabbits' best finish since 2002. St. John Bosco won the Division III championship for the Braves' second state title in three years.
Poly, however, gets the edge over St. John Bosco according to a hypothetical power merge of the top 16 schools from the overall combined team scores from all divisions into one race. Poly placed fifth with 179 points while St. John Bosco was eighth with 214. Four points separated the seventh- through 10th-place teams.
Division I schools claimed the top five places, led by Arcadia with 56 points, followed by California (139), Carlsbad (141), Vista Murrieta (159) and Poly.
What the power merge did not take into account was weather and course conditions throughout the meet. Temperatures rose steadily from the low 50s to upper 60s in the 10-race competition. Poly ran in the second race at 9 a.m. while St. John Bosco was in the penultimate race at 12:50 p.m.
Poly set a school team time record of 79:10 for its five scoring runners that topped the previous record of 79:43 from the Clovis Invitational in October. The time was better than the Jackrabbits' state champion teams in 1997, 1998 and 2000.
Junior Miguel Bautista placed eighth in 15:26 over the 5,000-meter course for the best finish by a Poly runner since 1997.
St. John Bosco senior Myles Smith ran 15:18 for the area's top time to finish second in Division III as the Braves topped defending champion Palos Verdes 70-119 to avenge a third-place finish to the Sea Kings in the Southern Section finals a week earlier.
St. John Bosco had a 14-second time gap between its second through fourth runners with sophomore Branden Estrada (16:00), senior Ruben Solorza (16:03), junior Josh Lopez (16:05) and senior Christian Roberts (16:14).
Running in warm and dusty conditions, the Braves' team time of 79:40 didn't approach St. John Bosco's school record of 79:03 by its 2010 state championship team. St. John Bosco's 49-point victory, however, was the sixth-largest margin in Division III in state meet history and best since 2007.
"A lot of people asked, `How fast did you run?"' St. John Bosco coach Tim McIntosh said. "We didn't set any records but weathered the conditions and won. That's what's most important."

Nguyen gets a day off
Millikan senior Cindy Nguyen received a round-of-32 bye today and will resume play in the CIF girls tennis individual tournament Wednesday at the Seal Beach Tennis Center.
The two-time defending Moore League champion easily won her first two matches of the postseason last week at Whittier Narrows, beating Loara's Jessica Cornea 6-0, 6-0 and Isabelle Lopez of Warren 6-0, 6-1. She's the only area player still competing, and her coach said Nguyen's game has matured enough to where she has an opportunity to win the event.
"She's matured a lot from last year," said Millikan coach Torie Frapwell, "and she's ready to go. ... She doesn't seem intimidated by any (of the top players)."
Frapwell said Nguyen's strongest attribute on the court is her intelligence, saying she's "three shots ahead" of her opponents.
Nguyen recently committed to play college tennis at the University of Hawaii.

Millikan hosts duals
The 2012-13 wrestling season officially gets underway this weekend with area programs at various tournaments. But the place to be for quality competition and an early measuring stick is the two-day Millikan Duals on Friday and Saturday at Millikan.
Joining Millikan are Arroyo, Bonita, Dominguez, Gahr, Los Alamitos, Wilson, Otay Ranch, San Clemente and reigning CIF-SS Division VI champion Warren.

Just an idea, for some of the common tasks, such as WEP cracking, sniffing etc etc, it may be possible for bots to be created saving the recquired typing and opening of several shell windows?
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Could we also have a bot for turning on my computer and doing my work?
Sorry but I think applications like SpoonWep/WPA are so much automated that it is not beneficial at all.
I mean people won't understand what's going on at all if they just hit start and have everything in their area scanned automatically. People who know how to do that on the command line and want to save time usually also have the knowledge on how to write a small script or application to save time. As I said I really appreciate if people make the effort and also share these apps/scripts with the community. I just think that these tools attract a lot of people who have no real knowledge and think that they are l33t cause they can press the start button.

A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
I agree, with applications out there like metasploit and the like, it seems to decrease "learning" of how things work. I've tried metasploit on some of my systems, but I'd rather know whats going instead of just clicking buttons. Too many script kiddies as it is. Anything I want to "automate" I write the script my self, everything else, I'll learn to do it the hard way.
Back Track is meant for testing vulns, pen testing, PoCs, etc.....not for cracking into the house down the road to see what type of porn they are into and then wiping their drive for kicks.Just an idea, for some of the common tasks, such as WEP cracking, sniffing etc etc, it may be possible for bots to be created saving the recquired typing and opening of several shell windows?
If you are using back track for what it is meant for then a few things should be assumed (Yes, I know what happens when you assume):
- You know how to use the CLI utilities or are able to learn them by using internet resources...
- You can write your own scripts for tasks that you perform regularly
- You already know that most all the "hard" CLI tools have an "easy" GUI, or someone has made a similar tool with a GUI. (Zenmap, Maltego, Ettercap, Fast-track, Metasploit, W3AF GUI, SpoonWep...I think I have made my point)
Short Version: The tools are already out there for the most part, and if not, it's pretty easy to write a script to automate CLI driven tools.

More at http://severemma.com/2012/08/04/excl...moore-of-sbgi/Brian "The Pikeman" Moore of Straight Blast Gym Ireland (SBGi) was kind enough to answer a few questions exclusively for SevereMMA.com about his recent controversial decision loss to TUF veteran Gary Kelly at OMMAC 14 among other things.
You are coming off a very controversial majority decision loss to Gary Kelly in his hometown of Liverpool at OMMAC 14 last weekend, What did you make of the decision and how did you score it?
In my opinion it was a ridiculous decision. The fight went like this; In Round one I landed more strikes on the feet and got him looking for a takedown. Not only did I stuff all his attempts but I took him down which gave me the only takedown of the round. I dominated round 2 and in round 3, I messed up in a scramble, he took my back and won the round. It was a clear 29-28.
I was the more active fighter, got the better on the feet and got the takedowns. Gary had a good 2 minute spell at the end of the third and that was it. I guarantee deep down he know he didnt win. The result should be looked at again by experienced judges and rematch put in the works.
What did you learn from the Gary Kelly loss at OMMAC 14?
Dont leave it in the hands of the judges and scramble like a motherfucker.
Was there anything about Gary Kelly that surprised you?
No, Gary is a TUF season 9 contestant and has been around for a long time. He trains in a good camp so I knew he would be well rounded and a tough fight.
Was there anything that surprised you about Kelly? Did he feel strong in there?
He is a strong guy but most FW at that level are. Hes a solid compact guy and used his weight very well.
You had a long training camp for the fight due to event postponements and injuries, is there anything training wise you learned?
I learnt a lot whilst training for this fight. It was a very long camp and I trained the same the whole way through. I was in the hospital from over training at one stage which was a result of inexperience. But I learnt from it and wont make the same mistake again. My training age for MMA is 3 years so Im still learning and striving to get the balance right. The next time I get in Ill have much more energy and strength.
Do you think that OMMAC getting postponed had a negative effect on your performance?
Perhaps but its up to me as a professional not to let it affect my performance. Again, I learnt from the mistake.
How quickly will you return to the gym?
I was back training in SBG on Wednesday and was very glad to be back.
Do you cut much weight to get to featherweight?
I cut a decent amount of weight. I weighed myself the day of the fight and I was back up to 73kg after making 66kg the day before. Some guys cut a hell of a lot more but Im comfortable where I am.
With your teammates Owen Roddy moving to bantamweight and Paddy Holohan considering moving to flyweight, could you see yourself moving down in weight in the future?
No. Im happy at Featherweight and staying there for now but may consider cutting off a limb in the future
You have never been finished in your career and your only other loss came at OMMAC 12 against unbeaten prospect Mike Wilkinson (7-0) by decision, which outcome was harder to take?
When I lost to Mike Wilkinson, I took the loss on the chin. I knew he outpointed me and done enough to win. There were circumstances that made it hard for me to perform to my best but I congratulated him, made no excuses and got back to the gym.
This result however has left a bad taste in my mouth. At best, if Gary was blessed and the judges were very biased, they could have awarded him the draw, but for the judges to award him the win was a terrible decision and nothing short of ridiculous.

Folly Beach gets $20 million for renourishment
The Post and Courier of Charleston reported the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Tuesday the money will be provided to rebuild the eroded beach.
The work could begin in the fall after the sea turtle nesting season and could be finished for the 2014 summer season.
Folly Beach Mayor Tim Goodwin says the money comes after two years of efforts by local, state and federal officials.
The money has been sought since damage from Hurricane Irene in August 2011. Hurricane Sandy last year and other storms only made conditions worse on both ends of the island.
Goodwin praised Sen. Lindsey Graham and other lawmakers who got the money approved.
The last renourishment was done in 2005.

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer
EDMONDS — It began as a childhood dream. Someday, Ann Begert told herself, she would climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
But the years passed, and then came marriage, children and a career as a family practice physician. More years passed, and Begert began to realize she was running out of somedays.
"I knew I needed to do it soon or I'd be too old," Begert said with a smile, so she prepared this year to embark on one of the world's most arduous hikes. Undaunted by her age, the 56-year-old Begert made plans to climb 19,340-foot Mount Kilimanjaro in the African nation of Tanzania, a grueling trek covering six days and some 13,400 vertical feet on the way up and the same coming down.
"It's just something I've always wanted to do," explained Begert, who lives in Edmonds. "I have no idea why. But even in high school, I just always had it in the back of my head that I was going to do it someday.
It became "sort of a quest," she said. "It was something to achieve, but it's also something you can do without any mountain climbing skills because it's just hiking. You have to adjust to the altitude, but other than that it's just long, hard days of hiking."
Joining her on the climb were her 22-year-old son Etienne and her 19-year-old daughter Manon. Husband Steve Begert, also a physician, had surgeries to replace both hips in recent years and did not make the climb, but later joined the family for the remainder of an African adventure vacation.
Using the Internet, Ann Begert did her research and then booked the trip through Good Earth Tours and Safaris, which leads guided expeditions to various African destinations, including Mount Kilimanjaro. The Begerts flew to Tanzania in mid-June, checked in at the Machame Gate on June 17 and started up the mountain the next day.
Good Earth provided the family with two Tanzanian porters, who carried the food and camping supplies. Each morning the porters would prepare a hot breakfast and then break camp as the Begerts headed up the trail. The porters would soon go hustling past and continue on ahead to set up the next camp and prepare the food, which included afternoon tea and later a hot supper.
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, with the long daily hikes and altitude gains, was "the hardest thing I've ever done," Ann Begert said. "You're always tired and (at times) you feel like you can't keep going.
"You have to be fit, but it also requires some mental fortitude because you just have to keep going when you don't feel like it."
The final leg to the summit began in the late darkness of June 21. The Begerts were wakened at 11 p.m., started off at midnight, and hiked for several hours in virtual blackness. They had no sense of where they were and, more importantly, how far they were from the top.
"You're just walking, walking, walking, and you think it's never going to end," she said.
As the sun finally rose, they could see they were near the summit. But Mount Kilimanjaro has one last trick to play on weary climbers. There is a sign at the crater rim, signifying their arrival at Stella Point, which is well over 18,000 feet. But the true summit is Uhuru Peak, some 45 minutes and 600 feet of altitude away.
They trudged on and finally reach the top, where grimaces of pain gave way to grins of triumph.
"It was great," Ann Begert said. "I was really happy that we made it to the top. I was sort of emotional. I'm not sure my kids felt like that … but I know they were really happy that we'd made it, too."
After taking several pictures, the Begerts and their porters left the summit and started down. They had one last night on the trail before arriving back at the bottom on the sixth day.
Steve Begert hooked up with his family that same day and they set off on the rest of their African trip. They spent eight days on an African safari, where they saw lions, elephants, cheetahs, gazelles, giraffes, leopards and many more animals.
Then they headed into neighboring Rwanda to see the mountain gorillas once studied by famed zoologist Dian Fossey. For Steve Begert, that trip was particularly meaningful since he had spent time with Fossey (who was murdered in 1985; the case has never been solved) during a visit she made to the University of Washington years ago.
"(The guides) were kind of impressed that I'd actually met her," he said.
The entire journey lasted three weeks and it was, Ann Begert said, "a really great, great trip. Everything about it was really perfect."
When she lets others know about her climb, "most people are shocked," she said. "And most of my patients are quite shocked. But I also think they're all pretty impressed."

Real Salt Lake's All-Star trio stayed in the Midwest after hoisting the Gold Cup on Sunday in Chicago, traveling directly to Kansas City for Wednesday's MLS All-Star Game.
With Nick Rimando and Kyle Beckerman logging heavy minutes in the international tournament, along with Tony Beltran, Real Salt Lake coach Jason Kreis said he had hoped to speak with Sporting Kansas City coach Peter Vermes, who will manage the All-Star team, about limiting playing time for the three. That conversation, however, never happened.
"I would have liked to have had that, but Pete's a pretty busy guy," Kreis said. "I think he gets it. I don't think I need to tell him I don't want my players to play or I want them to play as little as possible. Hopefully he gets that message and understands it. Maybe it's a discussion we don't need to have."
Vermes has said he expects all 18 All-Stars to play Wednesday against AS Roma, which should limit minutes for the three Salt Lake players.
RSL has been without Rimando, Beckerman and Beltran for the entire month of July, and extensive minutes on Wednesday, particularly for Beckerman, might limit Kreis' options this week against Colorado the first of three games in eight days.
"It's really difficult. Looking at it right now, I just don't know if there's any way I could select those guys to play in all the games," Kreis said. "But who knows, maybe we say this is the one time this year we ask those guys to do a little bit of double-duty and give us everything they've got and empty their tanks because of how important these matches are."
After watching a second-half lead turn into a defeat for the second week in a row, Kreis is preaching focus ahead of a Rocky Mountain matchup in Colorado.
"It's just the little things at the end of matches our last two games," Kreis said Tuesday. "If we had been a little better with the ball, if we had been a little more focused in on making a play at the end of the game, we could be sitting on all the points."
Turnovers in the midfield, in particular, helped set up New York's comeback Saturday.
"It's just a matter of what we do with the ball," RSL's Luis Gil said. "At times, we lost the ball carelessly in the midfield and they were on the attack. That put us under a lot of pressure."
Flippin' lucky
Real Salt Lake was the beneficiary of good fortune once again.
A coin flip to determine who might host the U.S. Open Cup final again went RSL's way. The winner of the Aug. 7 meeting between Portland and Salt Lake will host the winner of the Chicago Fire and D.C. United. If RSL advances, the team will have played the entire tournament at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Injury update
Defender Carlos Salcedo trained fully Tuesday for the first time since having gallbladder surgery on July 14.
Forward Olmes Garcia, meanwhile, was held out of training because of an injury he suffered late in the loss against New York.
"We'll look after him this week and we're hopeful he could be available this weekend, but I think that's a little bit of a stretch right now," Kreis said.

Hoping to boost holiday sales of her "Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends," Pippa Middleton held a book signing in Haarlem, Netherlands today (December 11).
The British socialite was unmistakable in a bright purple dress as she greeted fans with her gorgeous smile at the De Vries Boekhandel bookstore.
Pippa's book has literally tanked in the sales department, prompting the publishers to slash the price by 75%.
Author Jilly Cooper told press, "The sales have been dreadful, and I hear that the people at Penguin are virtually slitting their wrists over it. To think of all the money they spent on it, too."

Well I followed the instructions as posted and it seems to be working although I'm somewhat surprised with the benchmark results.
Computed 2995.98 PMKs/s total.
#1: 'CAL++ Device #1 'ATI'': 2868.2 PMKs/s (RTT 2.9)
#2: 'CPU-Core (SSE2)': 311.5 PMKs/s (RTT 3.0)
This card is a Radeon HD 5450 so somewhat a lower performance card but still?
Also the benchmark doesn't show details of the card so perhaps I've missed something.
The proc is an AMD Althon X2 6400 1MB L2 Cache
Can anyone offer some advice on 1) are the results typical and 2) why does the benchmark not identify the HD5450

I've gotten whiplash over the last few weeks doing double takes at the price boards at local gas stations. A month ago, I could get a gallon of regular for $3.09 here in Austin, Texas. Now it's $3.55 at my local pit stop place.
And if I happen across a place where gas is cheaper, I hit the brakes and turn into the station to top off my tank. That's probably a good idea for a couple of reasons.
First, the U.S. Department of Energy projected a month ago that a gallon of regular would average $3.44 per gallon. Now, the Department's latest Short-Term Energy Outlook expects a gallon of gas to be 11 cents higher.
Fuel tax stuck in the '90s
The second reason to pay attention to gas prices is that we might finally get a hike in federal fuel taxes. The federal excise tax on gasoline is 18.4 cents per gallon. It's been stuck at that level since 1993. Meanwhile, the cost to build and repair U.S. highways, for which the gas tax money is dedicated, has gone up over the last 20 years.
So there's been some rumbling on Capitol Hill about increasing the federal fuel tax rates (diesel is taxed by Uncle Sam at 24.4 cents per gallon).
The possibility of a higher federal gasoline tax comes up periodically.
In 2010, President Barack Obama's special bipartisan deficit reduction panel, the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, recommended a 15 cent-a-gallon gas tax hike in its draft report. The commission's full tax reform proposal never made it past the preliminary stage.
A gas tax increase was most recently was addressed, albeit in behind the scenes talks, during "fiscal cliff" discussion late last year. At that time, the transportation sector brought up the idea of raising fuel taxes.
Folks who make their livings on the road want the country's infrastructure to be better. And they acknowledge that we have to pay a price to do that. This week, another major business group also expressed support for increased transportation taxes.
Chamber of Commerce surprises panel
On Feb. 13, U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue told the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure that his group supports reasonable increases in gas taxes that are phased in and indexed to inflation.
Donohue's remarks were an elaboration on his written testimony, in which he said:
First, we're willing to pay to support public infrastructure. This includes paying more in user fees to shore up the Highway Trust Fund and ensure adequate investment. This is not a new position. The Chamber has been saying this to Congress every chance we can for years. We all know the dire condition of our highway and transit systems. It's going to take money to fix it -- it's that plain and simple. The money is running out, so we need to phase in a moderate increase in the gas tax over a number of years and index it to inflation. Shippers and truckers are all on board to pay a little more as long as the money goes to where it's needed.
Wow. The country's preeminent lobbying business group, one that traditionally supports Republican anti-tax lawmakers, is calling for a tax increase.
Could we soon see cats and dogs and Republicans and Democrats living together in harmony? I wouldn't go that far. But we all know that Donohue is right.
The next big question is: Are we all -- representatives, senators and American drivers of all political persuasions -- ready to accept that we have to pay at least a little more to get the roads and bridges and tunnels we want and need?
Infrastructure programs are an easy way to put people to work. Such projects got a boost from 2009 stimulus money. Since then, though, they lagged.
Obama cited our "aging infrastructure badly in need of repair" in his State of the Union address this week. To deal with it, he called for a "Fix It First" program that would focus on urgent repairs to roads, bridges and railways. The Congressional Budget Office has put a $50 billion price tag on this proposal.
With a Congress that goes through contortions on how to pay for federal projects, increased federal fuel taxes could be an easy way to help foot some of these necessary infrastructure bills.

Brummell's pride appeared to take alarm as he inquired if Julia really admired Horace.
Mr Brummell, cried the colonel, you are with the wrong troop.
Of all dandies, Mr. Brummell did most steadfastly maintain this attitude.
Still, there is a difficulty, said Brummell in his most delicate tone.
"Your acquaintance with the history of Calais does not seem to be considerable," said Mr. Sterne to Mr. Brummell, with a shrug.
Well, added Brummell, probably you are in the right, Robinson.
Brummell among other impertinences, was fond of going where he was not invited or wanted.
Debtors could not then be followed to France, and Brummell was secure.
Poodle B—g, so well known in the world of fashion, owed his soubriquet to Brummell.
Just before Brummell's arrival she was growing a little sulky.
