Thread: Big Public Ground Buck Got AWAY!
Big Public Ground Buck Got AWAY!
Ugh.... I don't even want to tell this story. I get in my stand around 2:15 PM perfect SW wind little bit breezy, but according to weather.com the wind was going to die down in the evening! The wind just helped cover my noise getting to my stand. So the first couple hours go by like usual, around 4:15 no wind, and I hear some rustling from the NW(bedding grounds) approximately 60-70 yards from my stand. Three does make their way into the open grass field about 50-60 yards north of my stand. Keep in mind my stand faces straight west. I watch them for about 30 minutes and they gradually make their way back into the woods where they came from and mill around eating acorns. Well the lay of the land is such that I am seated in the northern part of some low ground with a decent sized plateau to my southeast that tapers down to a point directly to my south. I am 18-20 feet up in my stand and I can see across the top of the high ground, pretty much eye level with whats about to walk up on top of it....... The big plateau kinda tapers down to a point directly south of my stand and transitions to the bottom ground and the dry creek bed. Well around 5:10 or so I hear some rustling on the other side of the high ground, so I turn left to see if I can pick up movement, sure enough I see the top of a tree on the other side of the point move back and forth. So I slowly stand up and turn to face south, sure enough I see horns...BIG ONES. Release is clipped on the buck walks to the top of the point, turns broadside at 30 yards and I go to draw and my tether on my safety harness is directly behind my left arm....I am left handed. I go to unbuckle the caribeaner from the tree strap and it makes an awful sweak, so I stop the buck looks around and just puts his head back down, unaware, I try it again same result. Frustrated and excited, I just studied his rack and body at 30 yards (broadside) enjoying my slice of humble pie! I would say is g2s are at least 10"-12" his g3's are around 7"-8", nice long mainbeams, and 6"-7" brows. Probally around 275-280 lbs. A 4 1/2 or 5 1/2 year old buck, easily in the 140's on public ground. Well he made his way due southeast down the top edge of the plateau, I get my strap unbuckled, out comes the buck roar and the rattlebag, hit the grunt first and stopped him at around 70 yards, he started to walk away again and I picked up the bag, sure enough the first 5 seconds of horns he headed back my way, made a circle on top of the high ground, grunted, I snort wheezed at him and he was on his way back in on a string..... He got behind a big tree coming straight in and I heard something come down the hill hard and fast breaking branches on its way to my SW. Never saw either buck again, sat till dark, and snuck out of there. I hope I have another crack at him or another one.... I thought my heart was going to explode. Sorry for the longwinded story, but I had to post it.Hoyt Trykon-390 gr.@280fps.

I'm right handed and i've had that(teather) strap in the way of drawing.I know it's not cool to do this(but figure as long as you have it connected to the tree) but have a longer one which allows me to connect so that it droops a little more and become's less taunt when i turn or bend down.CSS by MeanV

Improved Gibson back in Rochester
After elbow surgery, tall right-hander boasts improved velocity
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | April 3, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Tommy John surgery has a double connotation. On the one hand, the procedure and its rehab instantly knocks out almost a year off a pitcher's career. On the other, the process affords the chance for a light at the end of the tunnel. (A stark contrast from the days of yore when an injury to the ulnar collateral ligament likely meant a pitcher's days were numbered.)
An injured hurler can be upset or eased by the news. Back in September 2011, Twins' No. 4 prospect Kyle Gibson chose the latter.
"You know what, I was actually pretty relieved about the whole thing," Gibson said. "My arm started hurting me in June and for weeks, I didn't know why. The training staff and front office finally said, 'Let's get it looked at.' When I found it was a tear, it relieved me. I knew things were hurting, but I didn't know something was structurally wrong. Once we knew that, I knew what we had to do to get me back as fast as possible."
Nineteen months after going under the knife, Gibson isn't just returning to the game he loves. He might be better at it than ever before.
Not to give the wrong impression, the 6-foot-6 right-hander was always considered a top prospect. Selected 22nd overall in the 2009 Draft out of the University of Missouri, he justified the pick a year later, putting together an 11-6 record with a 2.96 ERA while jumping through the top three levels of the Twins system.
Gibson returned to Triple-A Rochester to start 2011 and pitched well at the outset, going 3-3 with a 3.60 ERA and 59 strikeouts over 55 innings during the first two months of the season. Then the aforementioned pain began in his right elbow. Although he continued to pitch, his performance began to slag. After giving up four or more runs for the third time in a row July 22, the Twins shut down the best arm in their farm system, hoping a little R&R would do the trick. It didn't. In September, Gibson finally underwent Tommy John surgery.
Despite the severity of the injury, the Indiana native, who underwent previous surgery on his elbow when he was a freshman in high school, knew he'd have a fighting chance to return to his old form.
"With surgery, nothing's ever a guarantee," said MLB.com's No. 49 prospect. "You have to have discipline and work as hard as you can. Sure, there were days I slacked off a bit, but you do your best to keep those to a minimum and hope one day it pays off. The key part was being healthy and getting back to pitching. Shoot, it was hard work mentally and physically. Any time you can't do what you love, it's really tough."
What followed were 10 months of rehab that kept Gibson off a mound until July 2012, when he began rehabbing in the Gulf Coast League. He also received starts in Class A Advanced Fort Myers and Rochester before the Twins allowed him to make up for lost time at the finishing school that is the Arizona Fall League. (Although his numbers were touch-and-go -- 5.40 ERA, .326 batting average against, 28-8 strikeout-to-walk ratio, 28 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings -- he was named a starter in the Fall League's Rising Stars Game.)
Now back in Rochester for what will be the fourth year in a row, Gibson believes he has an improved arsenal, thanks to the surgery that was only meant to prolong his career not necessarily give it a boost.
His fastball that once sat in the high-80s is now touching the low-90s with much more regularity. His sinker and slider both have harder action than before. Even the changeup has jumped so much in velocity, he admits he needs to find a way to slow it down again.
In a way, Tommy John surgery has been a blessing in more ways than one.
"You know, I think my stuff is better, yes," Gibson said. "Because of the velocity on my slider, it looks more like a fastball. When I locate it properly, it can really be a great pitch for me. And any time you add velocity to your fastball, it opens up more possibilities. I don't think I'm throwing better yet, though. I'm still getting used to it. … Becoming more efficient and consistent and having that focus on every pitch, that's what I'm working on right now."
And so armed with an improved arsenal of pitches at his disposal -- as well as an improved shoulder regiment aimed to keep elbow injuries a thing of the past -- Gibson enters the 2013 season no longer on the comeback trail. Instead, he's just back on the same trail toward the Major Leagues he took two summers ago.
Still, he can't help it if the many months between journeys pop into his head just before that first 92-mph fastball.
"Realizing how hard I worked to get back to this point, you can never take it for granted," Gibson said. "You can always be back there in a split second, so I have to do the best I can with what I've got."

I successfully entered the loading screen but screnn mess encountered when loading kernel 2.xxxxxx(fb:...hardware conflicting...).Code:

I doubt display card NVIDIA GT 630M isn't supported by the system.
How to solve this issue?

Many of you have asked about the practicality of switching from a PC to an Android tablet. We've said in the past that if you mainly use your computer for Internet, games and e-mail, then a tablet can be a great option for you.
But what about if you do need to do some word processing and other office-related duties. Could a tablet serve that purpose? Let's look at some things you can do to make your tablet more productive.
First, I will say that you shouldn't make that switch without giving it a tryout first. It could possibly be just too much of a change. Let's get the drawbacks out of the way first:
1. New and different apps. Unless you purchase a Windows tablet, you won't be able to run Microsoft Office. There is a mobile version of Office 365, but not a tablet-optimized version as of yet. However, many of the office suite apps available will allow you to open, read and edit Office documents.
2. Screen and keyboard size. It's going to be smaller than you're used to even if you purchase a 9 inch tablet. And it may take you sometime to get comfortable.
3. An Android tablet or an iPad is not a full Windows computer, you will see some limitations interacting with other systems. (some Windows tablets are not full Windows computers either. Watch for the RT after Windows. Windows RT is not the full version of Windows.)
Let's look at what you'll need to give this more productive tablet a try.
Unless you are someone who has no issues doing a lot of typing on a touchscreen, get a keyboard. You could purchase a keyboard case that plugs into your tablet or find a Bluetooth device. You'll want to make sure that any keyboard you purchase is compatible with our tablet. Some tablets, like a Kindle HDX only work with a Bluetooth device. And don't buy a Bluetooth keyboard unless your tablet is Bluetooth enabled. If you aren't sure about Bluetooth, you can check the documentation that came with your tablet or go to "settings" and look for the Bluetooth option.
I will warn you that some tablets, like a first-gen Kindle Fire, have neither Bluetooth or a micro USB port capable of powering a tablet.
Your tablet most likely already has an e-mail client that came with Android. There are other e-mail clients available in the Google Play Store as well. A client will allow you to download e-mail from multiple accounts.
You could also choose an app designed for your particular provider such as Gmail or Outlook.com.
You are also going to want an Office Suite. You'll find both free and paid options in the Google Play Store. Though some of the free options have limitations and you'll need to upgrade to the paid version to access all the features.
Two free Office Suites that have great user reviews are Kingsoft Office and AndrOpen Office. Both have similar features to Microsoft Office.
Kingsoft supports 23 kinds of files including .doc, .docx, .txt, .xls, .pptx and .pdf. That means you should be able to read Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files. And it also supports cloud storage services like Google Drive and DropBox.
AndrOpen Office offers a word processor, spreadsheet program, drawing program, equation editor and a database program and works with files created in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Open Office and Photoshop. You can both import from and export to those programs.
I purchased OfficeSuite Pro for my Kindle and have been satisfied with it. But I like the idea of using these free apps as you test whether you like a tablet for office-type work.
As far as printing goes, you'll find several apps that will allow you to print to wireless printers and it's possible your brand of printer may have their own app for certain tablets. Since tablets are really designed for use with a cloud, printing can sometimes be the biggest drawback of using them office-type work. Sometimes the easiest solution is to save the file to the cloud and then print it from a PC if you have one available.
But with the right printer in place, it can be done.
If you have a tablet, consider giving one of these office suites a try.

These ingredients have been carefully selected to target the everyday concerns women have expressed about their skin, including catering for sensitivities, combating dryness and fine lines, and maintaining healthy looking skin. Each product is suitable for all skin types - especially sensitive skin. What does GAIA mean? Spirit of Mother Earth. "Gaia" (pronounced guy-ya) is the Greek Goddess of the Earth. "Mother Earth" is believed to have living energy spirit called "Gaia" that is the creator of all life and all things that come together to form the earth. Do your products contain alcohol? Gaia Skin Naturals do not use what you would commonly term "alcohol" in any of their formulations - this generally refers to drying alcohols. Any reference to "alcohol" on these labels refers to the wax alcohols, or cetearyl alcohol which are classed as moisturizing alcohols. Cetearyl alcohol is made from various vegetable oils such as sustainable palm and coconut. They bear little relation to common alcohol, which is a volatile liquid and quite drying. I am allergic to nuts, do any of your products contain nut oils? It does depend on your allergy - do you have a peanut or tree nut allergy, or both? Only one Gaia product contain nut/nut derivatives - Gaia Natural Baby Massage Oil, made from pure sweet almond oil. Almonds are actually classified as a fruit and are low allergenic. Can people with Celiac Disease use Gaia products? Yes they can! Celiac Disease is a permanent intolerance to dietary gluten and, for this to be of concern, gluten must be ingested. In other words, you need to eat it for it to cause a problem. Wheat products, such as wheat germ oil, can be used on the skin without concern by people diagnosed with celiac disease. It is hard to find good products that work for you, particularly if you have sensitive skin. A lot of thought goes into creating these products, ensuring they are gentle and effective, and their rules are very simple: they must be naturally derived and use certified organic ingredients they must be suitable for sensitive skin they must include nurturing ingredients that are known to be beneficial for skin they must NOT contain ingredients known to irritate or dry skin they must be affordable for everyday use. Gaia Skin Naturals formulations are created exclusively for their brand, and a lot of time is spent researching ingredients and their benefits - and more importantly, which ingredients not to include. Only ingredients that have been tried, tested and proven as gentle, non-irritating and known for their safety are used. Michelle Vogrinec, Gaia Brand Creator, spends most of her time in product development and still hand-makes some of their new products before they hit the market. She then works with the highly skilled team of professional biochemists and aromatherapists to ensure these products adhere to high quality and safety standards. Although Gaia Skin Naturals began on the stove top, these products have been manufactured in professional laboratories right from the very beginning. In fact, most are made in Australian Certified Organic manufacturing facilities by experts that are passionate and resourceful and specialize in the manufacture of natural and organic skin care formulations. Gaia has made the choice to include all ingredients on the product labels for you - not all skin companies do. A lot of preservatives are used at very low percentages and often are not listed on product labels. As a mother of a child who is sensitive to soaps, detergents and preservatives, Michelle feels it is important that you know all the ingredients they use so you can be confident in knowing exactly what you are putting on your little one's skin. Gaia Skin Naturals doesn't test on animals - they use real people to test their "potions" and continue to tweak them until they are satisfied they have created a winner. All Gaia products are Cruelty Free Accredited. This means that: All products are free from animal ingredients or animal by-products All products, except one, are vegan friendly. Skin Soothing Lotion contains beeswax, therefore it is vegetarian friendly. No animal is harmed in any way to create these products, and they don't test on animals. What does Gaia use in their products? All Gaia products have been tailored to suit sensitive skin. How they do this is to choose ingredients that are well-known for their low irritancy towards skin and only then are they considered for Gaia formulations. For cleansers, they use a mixture of oils that are derived from coconut, sustainable palm oil and sugarcane, all of which are known to be safe and low-irritant. For moisturizers, they use organic vegetable oils, waxes and fats that are high in vitamins and well known for their nourishing effects on skin They also use calming and soothing extracts, as most people with skin sensitivities find ingredients like aloe vera or calendula especially beneficial for their type of skin.

Your skin tells the world your age, environment and emotional wellbeing and many things attribute to how well or not so well your skin looks and feels so you should take care of it. Healthy skin is reflected from being healthy on the inside. Eating well, incorporating as much fresh organic fruit and vegetables as you can, drinking plenty of filtered water, enjoying fresh air, exercise daily, wearing a hat when you are out in the sun and not smoking all contribute to healthier, happier skin. And looking after your skin using beneficial natural oils and extracts will also contribute to giving fresh, healthy, beautiful skin. Plants and humans are perfectly compatible, unlike their synthetic counterparts, which are often said to be more durable, economical and practical but do not have the properties or effects as a natural product. Natural plant properties cannot be replicated. It is also well known that some commonly used ingredients come with side effects that can include itchiness, dryness and even skin irritation. What components are need to make skin care products? Making skin care products is like baking a cake - you need certain ingredients for it to bake well and taste great. The same thing applies with your skin care products so they perform well and have a nice texture and feel about them. Emollients soften skin and prevent dryness. Moisturizer (something that adds moisture) most often describes a finished product and Emollient (something that softens) is most often used to describe a single ingredient. Most conventional emollients are made from petrochemicals and can cause skin irritation whereas natural emollients are actually beneficial and nourish the skin, like evening primrose oil, sweet almond oil and wheat germ oil. These contain vitamins and essential fatty acids which your skin just loves. Humectants attract water from the air, hold it within a substances, and the slowly release the moisture into the skin. Regardless of their ability to moisturize, some humectants are harsh industrial chemicals that coat the skin, much like cling-wrap and can cause irritation. The natural humectants like vegetable glycerin and provitamin B5 (panthenol) are known to be beneficial to the skin. Emulsifiers are two or more compounds that allow water and oil to mix (which is called an emulsion). These are usually petroleum derivatives and can be allergens. Natural emlulsifiers are obtained from various natural sources, for example: decyl glucoside, which is derived from sugarcane. Surfactants are wetting agents, capable of holding dirt and oil to be rinsed away by water - these are the foaming agents. Natural surfactants are a much better choice for shampoos and cleansers as they gently cleanse without stripping your natural protective oils. Most natural surfactants are palm or coconut oil derived. However some, like sodium lauryl sulphate and its cousins (sodium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulphate, ammonium laureth sulphate), are suspected to be harmful so Gaia doesn't use the sulphate family in any of their products and only choose natural surfactants known to be gentle and low allergenic. Preservatives - Although preservatives do extend the longevity of the products and help keep them free from bacteria, the preservatives themselves are often unhealthy and many cause skin problems. It is good to remember that all products need preservatives to stop them "going off" and that they will not always be listed on the label. The paraben family of preservative (methyl paraben, propyl paraben, butyl paraben, ethyl paraben) are the most commonly used and are well known to cause skin irritation. All GAIA products are free from paraben preservatives. Antioxidants may also be included in products and are often confused with preservatives. Antioxidants are used to prevent the oxidization of oils in an emulsion (prevent the oils in the product from going rancid or off whereas preservatives prevent the entire product from going off). They are also used on the skin to help smooth wrinkles and to slow signs of aging. The natural antioxidant, vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate), offers greater antioxidant activity than its man made alternative. Plant essences can actually prompt intense emotions. Studies have shown that plant essences can actually prompt intense emotions, senations, reactions and skin healing as they have an effect on the brain via the olfactory nerves and through skin absorption. This can lead to changes in skin temeperature, blood volume and brain wave activity. The response is completely individual, linked to personal body chemistry, memories and emotions. Gaia's focus is on health rather than beauty - healthy skin is beautiful skin. When manufactured, consideration is made not only the composition of the ingredients, but Gaia looks closely at the growing conditions such as organic and biodynamic farming. There are many great remedial and nourishing effects from plants on the human body. It is well-known that they naturally soothe and stimulate and may help to relieve stress, relax, excite and promote wellbeing. Pure Essential Oils: Aromatherapy is the art and science of using oils extracted from aromatic plants to enhance health, beauty and well-being. The essential oils taken from plants are used in Aromatherapy and often described as the plants' "life force" - they are essential to the plants biological process as well as being the substance which gives them their scent. The benefits of pure essential oils on your skin and hair are many and varied, depending on the oil you use and how you personally respond to it as the response to pure essential oils is completely individual. Make sure when you are buying products or oils that they are pure essential oils and not just fragrant oils, which are in fact synthetic copies of natural scents. Synthetic fragrance is one of the biggest causes of skin irritation. It takes approximately 200 chemicals to produce one scent and tehy certainly do not offer the same therapeutic benefits as a pure essential oil. Be aware that some products may market themselves as containing "lavender" to calm or relax or other ingredients that you would associate with relaxation. This is often fragrance and NOT pure essential oil and does not offer the same benefits that a pure essential oil does. For many people, choosing organic is not only about their health but also about the health of the planet. Organic farming uses techniques that preserve the environment and keep the soil as healthy as it can be. It does not use synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and chemicals or any other substances that are or may be harmful to soil, water, wildlife, human life or the environment. When synthetic pesticides, insecticides and other chemicals are sprayed onto the farms, it decreases the quality of the soil and increases salinity (salt levels). It also depletes the soil of vital minerals necessary for the healthy functioning of the body. Chemicals not only affect the soil they are sprayed onto. Rain washes these chemicals into waterways and the water you drink. Through the food you eat and the skin care products you use, these chemicals are taken into your bodies. Here, they can damage your immune system and cause allergies, infections and even cancers. The skin is a living, breathing organ needs to be cared for. Everything is absorbed through your skin therefore it should be gentle and non-toxic. What is in Gaia Skin Naturals products? Gaia's carefully selected ingredients are all derived from natural sources. They have chosen ingredients because they are gentle and have beneficial properties, and they use as many organic ingredients as they can get their hands on. GAIA lists all ingredients used and only the certified organic ingredients are listed as organic - this validates the organic ingredients to ensure they are following stringent guidelines for their certification. There may be a higher proportion of organic components in these formulations than actually listed on the label. Ingredients That Gaia Uses That Are Often Confused As Animal Derived Allantoin: When GAIA states that they use Allantoin, they mean the natural plant-based type derived from the active part of the comfrey root which is known to be beneficial in maintaining a healthy scalp. Other companies may use uric acid (known also as Allantoin) which is derived from animals. Glycerin: Is a by-product of soap-making. A natural "humectant," meaning it attracts moisture to your skin, it also smoothes the skin's surface. The glycerin GAIA uses is derived from vegetable oil not from animal fat. Lactic Acid: GAIA uses Lactic Acid derived from plant sources not animal sources or animal by-products to moisturize as well as naturally exfoliate, refine and clear skin. It helps to balance the skin's pH levels. Protein: GAIA uses only plant-based proteins from wheat or oats. Unlike other baby products, GAIA does not use silk protein, because silk protein is made by boiling silkworm alive in their cocoons to stop them from 'ruining' the silk fibers when they are ready to hatch. Gaia Skin Naturals - nourishing skincare products that feed your skin, keep it healthy and make it easy for you to maintain gorgeous skin - has several brands, including GAIA Pure Pregnancy, GAIA Natural Baby, GAIA Skin+Body, especially for women, and GAIA Made For Men. Proudly Australian-made, these skin care products are tailored for sensitive skin, combining natural and certified organic oils and extracts that are gently cleansing, moisturizing and soothing. The sensational scents are blended using pure essential oils, mostly certified organic, selected to provide you with the most gorgeous aromas to indulge your senses and benefit your skin. GAIA Products are free from: artificial fragrance petrochemicals and mineral oils lanolin and phthalates soap, sulphates and other drying agents in their cleansers paraben preservatives and propylene glycol and other commonly used ingredients that can be irritated or drying to skin It's not just what they put in, but what they leave out that makes the difference!

WESTCHESTER, NY – Behind a career-high seven goals from senior Terence Barclay (Babylon, NY) the Merrimack men's lacrosse team downed the Dominican Chargers in their season opener by the same score as last season, 17-7. The seven goal performance is the third best single player goal output in Merrimack College lacrosse history.
The Warriors opened up the scoring just over 30 seconds into the game as Barclay connected on his first of the season off of a Paul Jones (Guilderland, NY) assist. Dominican would tie the score at one at the 10:56 mark on the extra man opportunity.
Preseason All-American Corey Lunney (Little Silver, NJ) and Barclay would score to give the Warriors the 3-2 lead after one quarter of play. Kyle Guilbert (Walpole, Mass.) and Jones would pick up the assists on the Warriors tallies. Merrimack would outshoot the Chargers 14-3 after the opening quarter of play.
Jones opened up the second quarter with his first goal of the season off of a Jamie Shand (Massapequa, NY) assist, marking Shand's first career point, giving the Warriors the 4-2 lead. The Chargers would respond with a goal of their own at the 12:52 mark to cut the Merrimack lead to 4-3.
The Warriors would find their offensive stride midway through the second period as they closed out the half with six unanswered goals. Barclay recorded four goals during the stretch with Lunney and Mike Perdie (Wading River, NY) picking up one each.
Jones and Guilbert opened up the third period with two quick goals to give the Warriors the 12-3 advantage before the Chargers responded with a goal of their own on the man up opportunity. The Warriors would quickly come back with four straight goals of their own as Jones, Barclay, Perdie and Lunney each scored in the third to give the Warriors their biggest lead of the game, 16-4.
Matt Marini (Trumbull, CT) chipped in with a goal in the fourth quarter to give the Warriors the 17-4 advantage before the Chargers scored the final three goals of the game, giving the Warriors the 17-7 victory.
The Warriors outshot Dominican (NY) 23-6 in the first half and 36-11 in the game, while converting on four of its six man-advantages.
Shand finished up his first collegiate game with eight assists, marking the second most assists in a game in school history and the most ever by a freshman. Lunney, last year's All-New England Player of the Year, picked up three goals and an assist in the victory. Patrick Coskren (Norwood, Mass.) finished off the game winning 16 of 21 faceoff's and scooped up a team-high 10 groundballs.
Defensively Steve Souza (Wimington, Mass.) and Brandon Waiter (Westport, CT) had great games, holding the top offensive threats for the Chargers to limited scroring chances to go along with a couple of big hits on the afternoon.
"I thought we played well today," said head coach Mike Morgan. "We improved throughout the game with our ball movement to get some open chances for our scorers. Morgan Green looked good in net for us and Brandon Waiter played well against Dominican's leading scorer. All and all I think it was a good first game of the season for us."
Merrimack (1-0) will take on #2 Limestone on Saturday March 10 at 12 pm in Baltimore, Md.

Academic Challenges
Each year, teams of students spend several days working on simulated cases for academic challenges hosted by McCombs. The teams make presentations to executives, who select winners and offer industry-specific feedback.
The Energy Finance Challenge, hosted by McCombs' Energy Finance Group, gives students an introduction to the energy industry and the issues it faces today. The challenge is sponsored and judged by companies from a variety of energy industries, including integrated oil and gas, commodities trading and consulting. In the past three years of this competition (2010-12), the Texas MBA team took first place, defeating schools such as Harvard, Yale, Wharton, UNC, Virginia-Darden, Columbia, NYU-Stern, Carnegie-Mellon, MIT, Chicago, Cornell, Purdue, Michigan, UC Berkeley, and Duke. For each victory, the University lit the Tower orange in honor of the winning team, a tradition reserved for highly esteemed accomplishments such as national victories.
Hosted by McCombs, the National Real Estate Challenge is a case-based real estate competition among leading business/real estate schools around the country. The event is judged by esteemed real estate professionals and is designed to give graduate students a taste of the challenges that face real estate professionals after graduation.
Every fall the Graduate Consulting Group holds the Deloitte Consulting Challenge, which gives teams of MBA students the opportunity to experience a real-life consulting situation. Time is limited, the presentation has to be perfected, and the solution must be rock solid. The case is distributed during the evening, and MBAs are given all night to prepare. Teams present the results of their case analysis beginning at 8:00 a.m. on the following day.
The annual MBA Finance Challenge is the largest and longest-running MBA case competition at McCombs. Every year, roughly 100 first-year students compete in teams of four by analyzing and providing a solution to an in-depth financial business case. The challenge takes place over the course of three intense days. On the final day, the students present their conclusions to a panel of corporate and faculty judges. The goal of the challenge is to be one of the teams selected to the final round, where you are given the opportunity to to compete for cash prizes.
The Tech/Ops Challenge is the biggest yearly event organized by the Graduate Business Technology Group. It is a one-day case competition that requires teams of tech and operations-savvy MBA students to analyze a business case overnight and present a sound operational and strategic solution to a panel of industry and faculty judges. Every fall, about 80 MBA students participate in this event. Past sponsors have included 3M, Accenture, Applied Materials, Booz Allen Hamilton, Chevron Texaco, Citigroup, Conoco Philips, Dell, Ford, HP, Halliburton, Motorola, Philip Morris USA, SVC, Texas Instruments, and Valero.
The Global Business Challenge aims to recreate an international business situation in which first-year MBA students are given a case that measures their ability to balance cultural and business concerns to be successful. Teams are judged on their proposal's case analysis, quality of presentation, creative solutions, and understanding of the business/cultural situation. Organized annually by the Latin American and Hispanic Master in Business Association, the Global Business Challenge strengthens participants' teamwork, analysis and presentation skills, and provides the opportunity for students to showcase those skills to human resources and business managers from Fortune 500 companies.
The Hot Seat Marketing Challenge epitomizes the array of enriching extracurricular options for Texas MBA students. This real world "live case" scenario puts participants in the shoes of today's professionals, enhancing their skills while giving them the opportunity to directly apply what they're learning in the classroom to a rewarding enterprise. Past sponsors have included Dr Pepper Snapple Group, AMD, Dell, Deloitte, Frito Lay, Walmart, American Airlines, Chevron, GE, Minute Maid, and Pizza Hut.

text: In a few years Bobbi Kristina will regret this decision. A lot. Somehow the very violent Nick Gordon got his sister to marry him. Bobbi announced the news yesterday on her Twitter and somewhere Woody Allen was smiling. Nick is not actually Bobbi's brother. Probably. Whitney never adopted him. Probably. He just lived with Bobbi since Bobbi was a child and they grew up together as brother and sister and before they started having sex always referred to each other as siblings. Now they refer to each other as husband and wife. What Bobbi needs to do is run away from the guy and get off drugs and go to some therapy and break free from all this. This will not have a happy ending. There was also no pre-nup. As soon as Bobbi gets that trust money Nick is going to be raiding those accounts and Bobbi is going to be broke.
