About 10 years ago, twocollege students met whileplaying baseball for UNC.Today, they are now thefounders and owners of an
award-winning company.Brent Douglas and
Lance Rankin graduatedfrom the University ofNorthern Colorado in 2004and 2003 with degrees inbusiness and criminal jus-tice, respectively.
In February 2010,Douglas and Rankin start-ed their own business.They named it BathroomHygiene Company andreleased their flagshipproduct, Puro, a bathroomhygiene lotion that relieves
derriere discomfort.Puro was named one
of Startup Nation’s 2010Home-Based 100 Winnersas one of the most inno-vative products.
Douglas, one of the co-founders and Bathroom
Hygiene Company CEO,said he has always wantedto start his own companyand realized the potentialfor success in the rest-room-hygiene industry.
“I always wanted tostart a business, and anentrepreneurship profes-sor said to be aware oftrends,” Douglas said.“There hasn’t been any-thing new introduced tothe bathroom hygieneindustry since Wet Wipes,and we saw this as anopportunity to introducean innovative productthat could revolutionizethe industry.”
Douglas and Rankinperformed extensive prod-uct research to ensurePuro would be beneficialfor the consumer.
“We had ingredients inmind that would besoothing and comforting,so we tested them and gotfeedback from family andfriends,” Douglas said.“We also had to researchcosts to make sure wecould make a profit.”
After months of prod-uct research and businessplanning, Douglas andRankin still faced chal-lenges, the largest beingmarketing.
“For our product,since it’s so unique, justthe marketing has beenthe toughest part,”Rankin said. “Right nowit’s only available online,but we’re working tomake it a preventativelotion rather than over-the-counter prescription
that’s sold at (stores like)Walgreens, Rite Aid.”
Rankin said AceHardware has expressedinterest in stocking Purobecause it is not as harm-ful to plumbing as otherproducts.
Neither Douglas norRankin said they would bewhere they are today ifthey had not received aneducation from UNC.
“Playing baseball andgoing to UNC when I wasan economics minor, Ilearned about being ableto prioritize and run abusiness,” Rankin said.“For me, it’s really goodto have Brent who wentthrough the MonfortCollege of Business.”
Rankin said UNCmade running a businessseem fun, and Monfortprofessors were helpful inproviding a productiveatmosphere.
“It’s the mentality atUNC,” Douglas said. “Itook a few entrepreneur-ship classes, and theymade it an exciting andfun path to go down.Then, it was always in theback of my mind to start abusiness.”
David Thomas, anassistant professor of man-agement at UNC, hasremained in contact withDouglas and Rankin andhelped them in the earlystages of their businessplanning. Thomas provid-ed many contacts andresources for the alumni,

Mirror Reflections are the opinion of The Mirror’s editorial board: Parker Cotton, Eric Heinz, Melanie Vasquez, Benjamin Welch and Ruby White. Let us know what you think.E-mail us at [email protected].
In response to the illegitimatefiring of National Public Radio’slongtime news analyst JuanWilliams, Republican legislatorshave proposed cutting all publicbroadcasting funding.
Williams’ statements in fall2010 were his opinion, which hehas the right to express. NPRreleased a statement on its web-site claiming the firing was notthe correct course of action, andEllen Weiss, former senior vicepresident of news, resigned fromher position, thus upholding astrict code of ethics set by jour-nalists for decades.
Now, it appears, that code ofethics is being used only for politicalinterests. Because NPR is known forhaving liberal content, Republicanshave used this oversight by NPR’sexecutives to harpoon one of thebest and most reliable sources ofnews and education remaining onthe airwaves. They are pouncing ona mistake Weiss, a veteran of morethan 30 years in broadcasting, triedto remedy. But it may be enough tosever funding to an industry theAmerican public need.
Major news services havebecome nothing more than giantplatforms for political banter, most
of which is irrelevant to issues thegreater populace face. In fact, CNNhas begun to implement game-showgimmicks, such as “reporterroulette” and “random moment ofthe day,” to make up for the lack inreal news coverage. People rely onpublic broadcasting to refrain fromstooping to those levels and producequality segments with real reporting.
How can Republicans expectto improve the nation’s intake ofmedia with reports on issueswhen glamorous, extraneousnonsense distracts from essentialinformation? The nation is in acritical financial state— in antici-
pation of a cut of more than $61billion next year — and limitingspending will only make peoplemore defensive of the servicesthey want to protect.
In order to balance the nation’sbudget while providing qualityknowledge and information to thepublic, legislators must put asidebias of political reporting and factorin the repercussions of extinguishingthe best media outlets this nationhas at its disposal. The governmentspends more on unnecessary organ-izations and projects every year, butpublic broadcasting has never beenassociated with such frivolity.

Despite criticism CSAPgets, standardizedtesting is necessary to
any publicly funded educationsystem because regulation isinherent in government, and set-ting standards that must be metis intrinsic to bettering society.
One common argumentagainst CSAP is the test measuresonly academic ability. Promotingcreativity in education is definitelyworthwhile, but without theaccountability that standardizedtesting enforces, there is no evi-dence to show schools are educat-ing their students well enough.
Objective criteria must be
established to ensure schools areeducating students, and the onlyway to do this is by administeringstandardized tests.
Oddly enough, a UNC-basedanti-CSAP organization, known asthe Coalition for Better Education,claims CSAP is psychologicallyharmful to students in that the testhas a potential to create anxiety.
The CBE would have educators“honor…the success of everychild,” which sounds great but isreally just a euphemism thatdecreases academic quality.
Although every school has itsown unique set of students, edu-cators are charged with theresponsibility of bringing up stu-dents to participate in a societypacked with standards.
The standards CSAP puts forthare absolutely necessary for stu-dents to meet in order to becomeassets to society instead of drunk-
en welfare-state drains. A star athlete does not
become successful by “honoring”current mediocrity in junior high.He or she does not excel by beingcomfortable with a small amountof skill when there is so muchmore to be gained. Pressure isthe single greatest driving forcein creating excellence.
Pressure expelled the Britishfrom America. Pressure broughtabout the Civil Rights Act of 1964.Discomfort is logically necessaryto reach a higher good. Thestakes of a matter at hand arewhat promote results.
CSAP must therefore carryweight behind it, which is whyCSAP affects funding. A schoolshould not be entitled to fundingon the basis that it is a school. Theschool must prove itself, and some-times, people must do things thatare uncomfortable because they are
necessary. Nobody wanted toration rubber, sugar and butter dur-ing WWI, but they did so because itwas crucial to the war effort.
Likewise, it is essential fordrastic measures to be taken inexceedingly poorly performingschools like Abraham LincolnHigh School. In recent years, ithas not been uncommon forfewer than 3 percent of its stu-dents to score proficient oradvanced in math.
I understand that social andeconomic factors contribute tothat, but these scores show ALHShas neglected its students. CSAPis a necessary check on the jobthat schools are doing. It is theonly way of keeping schools fromfalling further behind.

Tuesday night, MilneAuditorium in KepnerHall was full of the oper-atic sounds of French,German and Spanishinfluence, as TiffanyBlake, the night’s sopra-no vocalist, and CalebHarris, the event’spianist, serenaded acrowded audience.
The recital consistedof Blake, a guest artist,and Harris, a professorof music at theUniversity of NorthernColorado who special-izes in keyboard.Further, Harris, whoreceived her doctorate inmusic from the EastmanSchool of Music, is anassistant professor ofvoice at Colorado StateUniversity. She is regu-larly hailed by such pub-
lications as “Opera NewsOnline.”
Bethany Taylor, a jun-ior music educationmajor, said she pre-sumed to be entrancedby the duet.
“I expect a stellar per-formance from Dr. Blakeand Professor Harris,”she said.
Additionally, SusanMcKenzie, a freshmanmusic education major,admitted that she wasadvised by her instruc-tors to attend the event,but she ultimately sawthe value of hearing liveopera.
“As a future musicteacher, it is important, Ithink, to listen to newmusic — to add to myrepertoire — to see if Ilike it,” McKenzie said.
As the night began,Blake and Harris gave abow to their eager audi-
ence. To begin, themusicians performedtwo adopted poems byVictor Hugo, a leadingfigure of French roman-ticism bestknown for histwo classicnovels, “TheH u n c h b a c kof NotreDame” and“ L e sMiserables.”H u g o ’ sp o e m s ,“Enfant, sij’etai Roi”and “Oh!Quand jeDors,” wereset to a scorecomposed bythe 19th cen-tury musi-cian FranzLiszt. The major themesof these songs were thetransformative power of
love and its often elusivenature.
The duo continuedwith three Germanpoems adapted to music
by therevered com-p o s e rR i c h a r dStrauss, whois today bestrememberedfor hism e l o d y ,“ S p r a c hZarathustra,”the theme forS t a n l e yK u b r i c k ’ sclassic film,“2001: AS p a c eOdyssey.”
Before abrief inter-m i s s i o n ,
Blake and Harris offeredthe audience seven brief(albeit popular) Spanish
songs written by Manuelde Falla.
After intermission,the musicians returnedto the French languagewith some of HenriDuparc’s compositions,which included twopoems by famous Frenchhedonist CharlesBaudelaire, “Invitationto a Voyage” and “ThePast Life.”
The event concludedwith the fictional poemsof a “fictional” poet,Sarah Binks. PaulHiebert was the real-lifeCanadian poet whowrote the highly literary
“A Sarah BinksSongbook,” the volumefrom which the afore-mentioned poems weretaken. In writing hispoems, Hiebert adaptedthe persona of a whimsi-cal woman. John Greerset Binks’ (or Hiebert’s)work to music.
Taylor said she wasthrilled with the eventand that her school pro-vides its students withguest recitals.
“It’s always great to see aguest performer; it gives(students) something toaspire to,” Taylor said.

Women’s hoops delivers on senior nightPARKER COTTON
The UNC women’s bas-ketball team moved withinone win of clinchinghome-court advantage inthe conference tourna-ment with its 73-49 seniornight victory over IdahoState Monday at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
The University ofNorthern Colorado (17-11,10-3) earned at least a share ofthe Big Sky regular seasonchampionship, and UNCsenior guard CourtneyStoermer picked a fittingnight to rewrite record books.
Stoermer hit a 3-pointerwith 17:27 remaining in thefirst half to tie the record ofmost 3-pointers made in acareer with 173, a record pre-viously held by Missy McVoy(1994-98). With 2:47 to play inthe game, Stoermer hit the
record-breaker and put theBears up by 24.
“It was in the back of mymind, but winning the gamewas way more important tome than anything else,”Stoermer said of the record.
Winning the game wasnever in doubt, though. UNCplayed stifling defense andwas offensively proficientfrom the opening tip.
Four Bears players scoredin double-figures, led byfreshman guard D’sharaStrange, who had 17 points.
Stoermer and her fellowseniors, center BrittanyFernandez and forwards LaraMerritt and Jayne Strand, allscored in their final regular-season home game. Stoermerfinished with 12 points andStrand, Merritt andFernandez scored six, twoand one point, respectively.
UNC led from the startand never took its foot off the
gas pedal. The Bears led bynine at intermission and builta 25-point lead in the secondhalf. The Bengals (16-11, 7-7)were held to 27 percentshooting for the game,including 4-of-30 shooting inthe second half.
With only one game left toplay, against Idaho State at2:05 p.m. Saturday inPocatello, Idaho, Strange saidshe was glad she could helpsend the seniors off right.
“I couldn’t picture a bettergroup of girls to play with,”she said. “It was great to sendthem out with a great win.”
Head coach Jamie Whitesaid the team’s seniors havemade her time as coach avery special one.
“Courtney and Lara bothcame my second year — itwas our first recruiting class(with) freshmen, and thatwill always hold a specialplace in my heart because
we had to convince them tocome and that we wouldwin championships here,”White said. “And the coolestpart about that is that every-thing we’ve said to them iscoming true. Brittany andJayne came to us from jun-ior college, and they’vebeen a huge part of our suc-cess this year because oftheir size in the post. All ofthem have been great towork with, and I think theycan look back and saythey’ve had a very success-ful, great experience here atUNC.”
Stoermer said her finalhome game could nothave gone better.
“It was very emotional,but my teammates came outthere, and we played reallywell together,” Stoermer said.“And I couldn’t ask for a bet-ter ending game at Butler. Ireally couldn’t.”

The University ofNorthern Colorado (18-10,12-3) clinches at least ashare of the Big Sky regularseason title and is one winaway from garnering an
outright conference crown.ISU (9-19, 4-11) senior
forward Broderick Gilchrest,who had already scored 26points, attempted a 3-point-er with three seconds left totry to tie the game, butKaba’s third block of thenight prevented the tie andgave the Bears the win.
Kaba finished the nightwith eight points, fiverebounds and a career-bestthree blocks.
UNC senior guard DevonBeitzel made all 16 of his freethrow attempts, a Division I
school record, enroute to a game-best 28 points.
The Bengalsheld brief leadsthroughout thefirst half but werenever able to leadby more than fivepoints. Gilchresthad 10 points inthe first 20 min-utes of play, butBeitzel scored 15points, and the Bears wentinto intermission with a five-point lead.
UNC led bynine points with14:20 left to playin the game, butISU chippedaway at the leadto eventually goahead four min-utes later.
The Bears tiedthe game at 64and, after ISUtook anotherbrief lead, again
at 66. Beitzel then sank twofree throws to put UNC up,66-64, a lead UNC would
keep for the rest of the game. UNC built a five-point
lead with 1:03 left, butGilchrest hit a jumper to cutthe lead to three. The Bearsthen turned it over on thenext possession and ISUcalled a timeout with six sec-onds remaining.

Women’s hoops senior concludes successful career SAMANTHA FOX
Leaving a legacy issomething athletes strivefor, and in UNC seniorguard Courtney Stoermer’scase, it also means some-thing gained.
Stoermer came to theUniversity of NorthernColorado as a true freshmanfrom Coralville, Iowa whereshe attended Iowa City WestHigh School. She was firstapproached by recruiters,mostly from Division II col-leges, to play either socceror basketball.
“I think basketball wasmore challenging for me,”
Stoermer said. “I alwayslike a challenge.”
Stoermer’s performanceon the court has shown howshe rises to a challenge. In herfour years here, she has beennamed Big Sky All-Academicthree times, Big Sky Player ofthe Week once and earnedsecond-team honors hersophomore year. This season,she has averaged 8.6 pointsand four rebounds per game.
Stoermer arrived duringthe early Division I years ofthe program. She said shedecided to come to UNCbased on the potential toform the program.
“My freshman year waskind of a rebuilding year,”Stoermer said. “It was coachWhite’s second year of being
head coach and our secondyear being Division I. I kind ofwanted to start a traditionhere at UNC and makewomen’s basketball some-
thing to be heard of.”The senior nursing major
has grown into the role ofleader on the court to all herteammates.
Freshman guard D’sharaStrange said Stoermer’sguidance has been very ben-eficial to the younger playerson the team.
“She helped me out bigtime this year,” Strangesaid. “It’s my freshmanyear, so with her, being onthe court felt comfortable.She helps everybody out;she’s very vocal.”
Stoermer had a freshmanseason similar to Strange’s,coming in and playing rightaway. She played in all 30games of the season, startingin 29 of them. She came closeto recording a triple-doublebut was three rebounds shy.
“I think my freshman yearwas the most difficult,”Stoermer said. “We didn’t
have that many returnerscoming back, so we had tostart and play freshman, andit was pretty challenging as afreshman, for any freshman,to come in to play.”
In her junior year,Stoermer tallied UNC’s firsttriple-double with 12 points,10 rebounds, and 10 assists.She also broke the school’scareer 3-point record of 173Monday against Idaho State,on senior night. The recordnow stands at 174.
“She’s been a savior forour program since the dayshe got here,” head coachJamie White said. “She’splayed 30-plus minutesevery year that she’s beenhere. It’s going to be a sadday when she’s gone.”
