...color and style create her unique and personalized feminine image. She won America's most prestigious tennis tournament donning an orange sherbet number with cut-outs that exposed her back's muscular physique. Williams chooses to wear jewelry on the court, but certainly not the adornments that Tracy Austin or Chris Evert wore in 1979, the last time two American women faced-off in the U.S. Open. Instead of dainty gold chain necklaces, Venus opts for studded chokers and instead of fragile stud earrings, she chooses bold drops...
Harvard's ball control left relatively little to do for junior goalie Dan Mejias, who made four saves to earn his first career shutout. Mejias nearly lost his clean sheet in the 89th minute when one of West Virginia's freshmen, Mike Austin, had an empty net and trickled the shot wide left by a few inches...

This is one CEO who really loves to unwrap things...

When the Texas exam was first instituted, only 66% of Leander's students passed the math and reading portions of the test. So the school hired a consultant. The principal also had a revolutionary idea: Drop homeroom and one daily elective, then double the time students spend on math lessons to 90 minutes a day. Three times a year students take - and chart their progress on - exams tougher than the TAAS. And to reduce stress during the real exam week, the school serves...
