MA in Writing at UEL
The MA in Writing offers an exciting, mixed-genre approach to writing, allowing students to hone their writing through critical creative practice. This MA combines the strengths of many programmes (Theatre Studies, Film, Creative Writing, Music Cultures) allowing students fertile ground for experimentation and the possibility to break out of old forms and traditional restrictions.
* Full-time or part-time programme, in the evenings, and is taught by a team of renowned writers with international experience.
* Focus on new writing: expand personal frontiers; create hybrid forms.
* Practice as research approach.
* Emphasis on producing work for publication/performance/production that expresses contemporary writing and the cosmopolitan and international flavour of our university.
* Interdisciplinary workshops in drama, music, new media, film, fiction, and new poetic forms.
* Students are encouraged to explore the areas of Realisms, Genre, and Adaptation, leading to preparation for a practice-based dissertation.
Instruction on dissemination of outputs, including an examination of the issues surrounding access to distribution channels, agents, publishing, performance contexts, and alternatives to traditional avenues, including the Internet and the future of publishing.
The programme runs over three semesters. Semester A and B run for 12 weeks each. Three hour classes will be held in the evenings to accommodate part-time students and those who are employed during the day. There are one to one tutorials throughout the year.
Full-time students:
Semester A: Experience; Genre Semester B: Adaptation; Research Methods in Media Practice Semester C (Summer): Practice-based Dissertation Supervision
Part-time students:
Year 1:
Semester A : Experience
Semester B: Adaptation
Year 2:
Semester A: Genre
Semester B: Research Methods in Media Practice
Semester C (Summer): Practice-based Dissertation Supervision
Learning environment
The core of the programme is the development of students writing through workshops, small seminars and tutorials, and supervision towards a practice-based dissertation. Students also take core modules in realism, adaptation, genre, and research methods. Each module is divided into a writing segment where students present and discuss their writing, and a critical segment in which essential works are given close textural readings, and elements of craft are explored through exercises and presentation. As a result, students engage in both writing and literature -- the creative and critical aspects of the MA
Assessment is done informally on an on-going basis during workshops, and formally in module outputs and the dissertation. In general, principles of assessment include the following:
* Emphasis on self-editing -- evidence of several levels of revision
* Demonstration of engagement with research, observation, structuring, development of voice and refinement of style.
* Critical analysis should contextualise student's work within the genre as well as in relation to contemporary authors and published work, including theory
* Evidence of collaboration or interaction in research or development of dissertation project with supervisor and other sources of feedback, including students/sectors in the school (performance art, media, journalism, music)
* Evidence of use forms and structures in different contexts
* Critical Reading and analysis of published work
* Self-reflective critique: evaluation should discuss formative elements over the course of the degree.
Normally, we require a related first degree (2.1), in addition to an interview and submission of a writing sample. Mature applicants with a degree or equivalent experience, who may not meet the entrance criteria above, but who can demonstrate their potential as writers and a strong desire to participate in the programme, are encouraged to apply.

Chinese hospital seeks virgins' blood
More News from Agence France-Presse
BEIJING — A Chinese hospital's request for blood from healthy female virgins for use in medical research has been condemned as insulting to women, state-run media reported Monday.
The Peking University Cancer Hospital said it needed the blood of 100 female virgins aged from 18 to 24 years old for studies on the human papilloma virus (HPV), which is usually transmitted through sexual contact, the China Daily reported.
Some internet users condemned the request as promoting virginity worship and demeaning to women.
"Male virgins are not needed, just females, how is this science?" wrote one user of Sina Weibo, a social media service similar to Twitter and a lively forum for popular opinion.
The hospital defended the call for donors, saying that virgins' blood was less likely to be infected with HPV.
"It's in line with international practice to collect female virgins' blood samples, which serve as negative control substances in HPV research, given that the risk of contracting HPV is low among women who have never had sex," the China Daily quoted spokeswoman Guan Jiuping as saying.
Hospital officials would take the donors' word for their sexual status, she added.
Some internet users defended the hospital, with one saying on Sina Weibo: "People who curse are basically those who haven't understood the whole story. Learn some science and rationality, rather than criticizing others."
Female virginity was traditionally seen as a prerequisite for marriage in China, and today many Chinese men still prefer their wives to be virgins.
The continued importance attributed to virginity, combined with relaxed sexual mores in recent decades, has led to growth in the market for artificial hymens and restorative surgery which allows women to appear to be virgins.
But some commentators in China have said the pressure placed on women to remain virgins is demeaning and evidence of a double standard.

The Papanicolaou test (also called Pap smear, Pap test, cervical smear, or smear test) is a screening test used in gynecology to detect premalignant and malignant processes in the ectocervix. Significant changes can be treated, thus preventing cervical cancer. The test was invented by and named after Georgios Papanikolaou, but was also independently invented by Aurel Babeş.
In taking a Pap smear, a tool is used to gather cells from the outer opening of the cervix (Latin for "neck") of the uterus and the endocervix. The cells are examined under a microscope to look for abnormalities. The test aims to detect potentially pre-cancerous changes (called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or cervical dysplasia), which are usually caused by sexually transmitted human papillomaviruses (HPVs). The test remains an effective, widely used method for early detection of pre-cancer and cervical cancer. The test may also detect infections and abnormalities in the endocervix and endometrium.
It is generally recommended that females who have had sex seek regular Pap smear testing. Guidelines on frequency vary, from annually to every five years. If results are abnormal, and depending on the nature of the abnormality, the test may need to be repeated in three to twelve months. If the abnormality requires closer scrutiny, the patient may be referred for detailed inspection of the cervix by colposcopy. The patient may also be referred for HPV DNA testing, which can serve as an adjunct to Pap testing.
Abnormal results are reported according to the Bethesda system. They include:
The sample is stained using the Papanicolaou technique, in which tinctorial dyes and acids are selectively retained by cells. Unstained cells cannot be visualized with light microscopy. The stains chosen by Papanicolaou were selected to highlight cytoplasmic keratinization, which actually has almost nothing to do with the nuclear features used to make diagnoses now.
The sample is then screened by a specially trained and qualified cytotechnologist using a light microscope. The terminology for who screens the sample varies according the country; in the UK, the personnel are known as Cytoscreeners, Biomedical scientists (BMS), Advanced Practitioners and Pathologists. The latter two take responsibility for reporting the abnormal sample which may require further investigation.
Studies of the accuracy of conventional cytology report:
In the United States, physicians who fail to diagnose cervical cancer from a pap smear have been convicted of negligent homicide. In 1988 and 1989, Karen Smith had received pap smears which were argued to have "unequivocally" shown that she had cancer; yet the lab had not made the diagnosis. She died on March 8 1995. Later, a physician and a laboratory technician were convicted of negligent homicide. These events have led to even more rigorous quality assurance programs, and to emphasizing that this is a screening, not a diagnostic, test, associated with a small irreducible error rate.
Studies of the accuracy of liquid based monolayer cytology report:
Some, but not all studies, report increased sensitivity from the liquid based smears.
By adding the more sensitive HPV Test, the specificity may decline. However, the drop in specificity is not definite. If the specificity does decline, this results in increased numbers of false positive tests and many women who did not have disease having colposcopy and treatment. A worthwhile screening test requires a balance between the sensitivity and specificity to ensure that those having a disease are correctly identified as having it and equally importantly those not identifying those without the disease as having it. Due to the liquid based pap smears having a false negative rate of 15-35%, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology have recommended the use of HPV testing in addition to the pap smear in all women over the age of 30.
Regarding the role of HPV testing, randomized controlled trials have compared HPV to colposcopy. HPV testing appears as sensitive as immediate colposcopy while reducing the number of colposcopies needed. Randomized controlled trial have suggested that HPV testing could follow abnormal cytology or could precede cervical cytology examination.
A study published in April 2007 suggested the act of performing a Pap smear produces an inflammatory cytokine response, which may initiate immunologic clearance of HPV, therefore reducing the risk of cervical cancer. Women who had even a single Pap smear in their history had a lower incidence of cancer. "A statistically significant decline in the HPV positivity rate correlated with the lifetime number of Pap smears received.
The endocervix may be partially sampled with the device used to obtain the ectocervical sample, but due to the anatomy of this area, consistent and reliable sampling cannot be guaranteed. As abnormal endocervical cells may be sampled, those examining them are taught to recognize them.
The endometrium is not directly sampled with the device used to sample the ectocervix. Cells may exfoliate onto the cervix and be collected from there, so as with endocervical cells, abnormal cells can be recognised if present but the Pap Test should not be used as a screening tool for endometrial malignancy.

I wouldn't say "insanely" , but it's indeed underpriced based on what you get.
I think you already know what i'm gonna write : 24 Gold
Thread: Insanely Underpriced Gems
Frags that are so cheap that you would not mind paying twice or 3 times as much for them!!
Lanvin Avant Garde - $22
Versace Dreamer - $ 25
Those are the cheapest prices on Ebay for the 3.4 oz bottles..
If I had to I would pay double for the Lanvin and maybe triple for Dreamer..
What are some of yours?
I wouldn't say "insanely" , but it's indeed underpriced based on what you get.
I think you already know what i'm gonna write : 24 Gold
Hypocrites will always be a thorn in my back....and my middle finger will always be the best remedy.....
I agree with Lanvin Avant Garde being a great choice. I have some other fragrances coming in the mail so maybe I'll add them to the list but as of right now:
Burberry London can be found for $30 for a big 3.3 oz. tester on Beauty Encounter.
Fleur du Male $27-$35 on Amazon
Jungle Pour Homme $40 on Amazon
Silver Shadow - Davidoff $19 for 1.7 oz. on Amazon
Narciso Rodriguez for Him $30 for 1.7 oz. on Amazon
Salvatore Ferragamo pour Homme $33 or less on Beauty Encounter
Michael Jordan Legend $15 for 3.4 oz. on Amazon
L'Essence de Cerutti $23 for 1.7 oz. on Amazon
Cerruti pour Homme 3.3 oz. on Amazon through Perfumania for $15

Balenciaga pour Homme is very reasonably priced on eBay, given its quality.
Rive Gauche Pour Homme, when I bought it a year or so back, was around $30 on Amazon.
Oscar For Men is similarly priced, and good stuff, as is Zirh Ikon.
I also remember not paying all that much for Bvlgari Black on Amazon.
Encre Noir - it goes for about $35 for 3.4oz, but it's worth $100+. There have been comparisons of it to Chanel Sycomore - I don't find it all that similar really, but I have to say while Sycomore is indeed great and I have a big bottle, I find Encre Noir extremely enjoyable in its own right and perfectly wearable any time, any place, dressed up or down. If you like vetiver, this one is one of the best ones out there, regardless of the price.
Burberry London - I don't care for most Burberry fragrances, but this one is very well made. Soft tobacco leaf, smooth, very nice. Often overlooked little gem.
Mr.Blass by Bill Blass - I just picked up a 4.2oz bottle for $14.99. OMG, this one is just amazing in this price range, it's easily worth 5 times this price. It's sort of in the same boat as Carven Homme scent and quality wise, with a slightly stronger leather note. Totally a hidden gem, you'd never expect this quality for 15 bucks (with free shipping to boot!). This one is an INSANELY underpriced gem.
Carven Homme - discontinued, and prices on eBay have already gone up to around $100, but there are couple people here on BN who have stocked up and are offering it at still very decent prices ($40-ish?). It's somewhat similar to another BN favorite, Gucci Envy (and somewhat similar to Mr.Blass, see above).
Samba skin. A $15 version of pure havane. Also j's exte man smells real similar to dhi at a fraction of the cost.

Now that the Muglers have come back down to the regular price, I think Pure Havane and Pure Malt are very well priced, especially if you can get them at a discount place, like Fragrancenet.
Other great deals:
Burberry London (but buy an atomizer to reapply because it's pretty much gone in 1-2 hours)
Cereus # 4 and 7 used to be $125.00 fragrances. They are both nice fragrances and and can be found very cheaply on eBay.
Rive Gauche
Aramis Havana
Gendarme by Gendarme
L'Occitane Eau des Baux
Parfums de Nicolai Cologne Cedrat
Parfums de Nicolai Cologne Sologne
Tommy Bahama Set Sail St. Barts
Annick Goutal Eau d'Hadrien
Le Couvent des Minimes Eau des Missions Botanical Cologne of the Missions
Basenotes sales: By Kilian Straight to Heaven, Heeley Coccobello, Many collectible/discontinued CREEDs (Vintage Tabarome, Citrus Bigarrade, Selection Verte), Helmut Lang Cuiron, Bond No. 9 Hamptons, Heeley Oranges & Lemons, L'Essence de Cerruti, numerous popular SAMPLES! http://www.basenotes.net/threads/340...ptons-SAMPLES!

Bulgari black $30
Rive gauche $40
Old spice $10
Versace Dreamer $30
Most Burberry $30 - $50
Ted Lapidus Altimar $20
Nautica Voyage - $15
These are Australian prices which are very cheap considering that we generally pay more for fragrances here.
Cerruti pour homme
Rochas Man
Versace The Dreamer
Solara For Men $8 net. Don't need extras though.
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve other individuals' acknowledgement or respect.
Bogart Witness comes to my mind. Fragrancenet currently has 1 oz. bottles for less than $12 with a coupon code.
Not insanely cheap, but fragrances I would pay triple what they are going for:
Kenneth Cole Black
Perry Ellis 360 Red
Dirty English
Nautica Voyage
Ambre Baldessarini
Versace Man Eau Fraiche
The Aramis range (pretty much)
Bottega DV Pour Homme
Yohji Homme -- Re-issue
Anything by 'Laboratory'
Hypocrites will always be a thorn in my back....and my middle finger will always be the best remedy.....
Mauboussin M Generation is my favorite 100ml for under $50, hands down.
Diesel Plus Plus Masculine by Diesel - $15 for 2.5 oz
Rive Gauche Pour Homme by YSL (tin can) - $25 for 4.2 oz
Zino by Davidoff (script lettering) - $15 for 4.2 oz
Cuba Gold
Cuba Red
Michael Jordan Legend
Yacht Man Blue
Paris Hilton's Just Me (yes I like it and it gets compliments even from strangers for some reason)
Jeanne Arthes Cotton Club or Supercharged
Burberry London
You could easily get all of these for around $80.00 and have a pretty ok "rotation"
"All the best perfumes in history have something that smells like garbage in them; that's what keeps drawing you back."
Perfumes from PdE are precisely that especially Ambre Russe, Wazamba, cuir ottoman!
"Thank GOD for the nose, for without it we would not be enjoying these beautiful created Scents" also Remember "Balance is everything and the key to appreciating "

Some of the most underrated and, at the same time, (both female and male) underpriced masterpieces are, in my opinion:
Le Dix by Balenciaga
Je Reviens by Worth
Ungaro II
Most fragrances by obscure and affordable German houses like Marbert, Hildegard Braukmann, even the highly popular Muehlens (the latter with a few "obscure zones", less best-selling, but even more worth experimenting)
Pierre Cardin Iris Sauvage and Cedre Ambre
Maroussia and Authentic Maroussia by Slava Zaitsev
most Dali fragrances, especially pour Homme and Le Roi Soleil
L'Erbolario Neroli
Revlon Fire&Ice Men
Yardley Citrus&Wood
Capucci pour Homme
Silences de Jacomo
Tabac by Maurer&Wirtz
G Man by Gainsboro
Carlo Colucci Uomo and Uomo Mare
some of the Zara scents, especially Cedarwood
Daniel Hechter Caractere
and quite few more, the more I think about it.
Totally agree with the Yardley and tabac and other ones Ken mentioned, also with the "little local gems" angle - it's not always big names and big marketing and some exotic ingredient that makes something good - sometimes, it's just that it simply smells good.
Patrick of Ireland and the re-issue of Yohji Homme are both extremely good value but let's not shout about it in case someone hears and figures it might be time to bump the prices up
I still think the Nicolai line is very reasonably priced considering the quality on offer, but of course that depends ultimately on whether you like the stuff.
Tiffany for Men is also a good buy - the quality of creativity (subjective) and ingredients (objective) in this composition are stellar - I am just waiting for them to get the memo from IFRA so if you haven't at least tried it don't say you weren't warned - something this good just cannot last given the current climate in the industry . . .
Chopard Noble Vetiver -- $17 from FragranceNet. Tester bottle with cap. This is not the best vetiver around, but for the price? Superb.
Lalique Encre Noire - $29 from FragranceNet. Tester bottle with cap. Superb deal!
JC Dirty English - $26 from FragranceNet. Full bottle. Decent price. Underrated frag, IMHO.

Cartier Roadster (on discount)
Chergui (Amazon has it listed for $65 with free shipping)
+1 on Eau de baux
+1 on Rochas Man
Lolita Lempicka au Masculin (I have seen it for as low as $35 on Amazon)
CK Shock - 6.8 oz for $30 is insane
JC Dirty English - $26 from FragranceNet.
FOR SURE - LOVE Dirty English - I have "hoarded" 5 30ml bottles of this stuff
I bought Declaration d'un Soir recently for $38 new in box for the 100ML. I thought that was a pretty sweet deal.
Agree with Avant Garde! Also love Diesel Plus-Plus at $15 and think Amen TOF for less than $50 for a tester bottle is a great deal as well. And as mentioned Paris Hilton Just For Me, Kenneth Cole Black, MJ Legend and Cuba gold/prestige/wild heart all very good for ridiculously cheap prices!

I always have to mention Old Spice. when I bought some a couple of years ago it was about $8. It is a yummy floral with some clary sage and some kind of fruit, but not the annoying bubblegum kind. Anyway, for $8-9 how can you go wrong?
Easily 24 Gold.
In addition, Bijan Nude for Men. It's like pure ivory soap and it keeps you smelling like you just got out of the shower, all day long. You can get a 75ml for $15 or less. The only problem is the bottle design. All the Bijan bottle designs for men are odd. The bottle looks like facsimile giant woman's ring.
If the folks at Bijan read this, I have to ask: WTF? What genius came up with a design like that for a men's fragrance? I like wearing it but I wouldn't want to display the bottle. You might be able to increase your sales if you came up with a better looking bottle for the guys.
Kenneth Cole Black
The title is "insanely underpriced gems," not fairly good deals !
This can change quickly, and is mostly the case on ebay. At local discounter stores, you'll sometimes get a good deal, but for example if you already have some Tobacco Vanille or Pure Havane (or even Michael for Men by Kors), as many BNers do, are you really going to get excited about Avant Garde for $22?
I think 50 ml of Devotion for men on ebay right now for about $14 total is great, if you like Envy for Men type scents, but otherwise what i'm mostly seeing here are what I'd call "good deals," at best.

Halston Man Amber. Though harder to find now, a couple years ago it was widely available for 25-35 dollars online, which is an absolute steal.
Horizon, by Guy Laroche. While I don't think you can get it for literally $1 anymore, it's still a great little scent that is very affordable.
Revert Eco, $10 at rue21 stores. Long-lasting sweet citrus-wood smoothie that really is a gem at its price (supposedly made of natural fragrance oils).
I just won a barely used bottle of Phaedon Grisens 3.4 oz for 42 bucks - free shipping!!
That qualifies for insane!!
^ Congrats, but this thread isn't about hard to land fantastic scores; it's about gem fragrances that are low priced that anyone reading this can go out and buy.

For me, some of the best deals can be had at Lush. Not only are their scents super creative and unique, they're made with top-shelf materials that would make even the most pricey niche brand blush. Most of them can be had for between $15 and $45, too. One of them (BoG) competes with some of the most pricey scents I own.
Where in NJ is this store? I'm curious to know if I'm in range.

Coty Wild Woods is about $10.
Madini Oils Musk Pierre and Ambargris are $15 each.
Christian Lacroix Tumulte pour Homme used to be available at Ross for $15. I think it's probably about $35 now, but it's still not bad at all, if you like cedar.
Bergamotto Marino
Midnight in Paris
Idk about triple for Dreamer I'm selling mine for $20 pretty much full. Just not my type of juice, a little too synthetic for my taste. At first I liked it but then it started getting to me and felt like it smelled a little outdated for these modern timesand my wardrobe. Definetly gets some love on here though.

Edible topiary
A Greek basil grafted onto the sturdy rootstock of a shrubby wild basil, the Savour Greek basil tree has the pretty formality of a traditional topiary, but with spicy edible leaves and stems. Place a pair next to your front door or garden gate throughout summer and move them to a sunny window indoors when the weather cools. Water about once a week (let dry between waterings) and feed with a well-balanced organic fertilizer twice a month. As you harvest, just snip to keep the shape; the ideal width of the topiary is 6 to 8 inches. Look for the Savour Greek basil tree in nurseries in late spring, or go to savourtree.com for updates on availability.

Quote of the Day: Bud Selig on the expanded playoffs
Nov 18, 2010, 12:05 PM EDT
Bud Selig was just in front of a few reporters down at the GM meetings in Florida, and he was asked about the expanded playoff proposal. He said this about the number of playoff teams:
"Eight is a very fair number, but so is 10."
And so is 11. And 16. Twenty-four may be fairer than anything. But not 30. No, screw 30. That's just communism.
In all seriousness, though, I'd probably be less hostile to expanded playoff talk if someone in power could make a single baseball-based argument in favor of it. Likewise, if they simply said "this is about the money, really." I'd probably lay off too, because hey, at least it's honest. But please, spare me the "10 is more fair than eight" baloney. What are we, total idiots to them?
- stealofhome - Nov 18, 2010 at 12:16 PM
Ten shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be ten. Eleven shalt thou not count, neither count thou nine, excepting that thou then proceed to ten. Twelve is right out. Once the number ten, being the tenth number, be reached, then lobby thou thy Holy Playoff Proposal of Baseball towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it

Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how – what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.

Our instructor, Lucy, from Red Sail Sports was wonderful. She was very professional and personable. The entire crew made sure that safety was #1 and everyone was comfortable.
We did have difficulty obtaining the required medical form prior to our stay. I have since learned that you need to contact Red Sail Sports and not your resort/hotel to obtain the required forms.
Definately worth it! We saw incredible fish, turtles, and a nurse shark! fun day!
Reviewed by: David B, January 2013
In a word, Great! The staff and instructor were very good, friendly, on-time and knowledgable. Lots of fish and turtles and coral. Overall, highly recommended. Thanks for a good trip and will do it again with Red Sail divers.

Look up "inevitable" in any online dictionary, and you'll now find a link to the newly overhauled Park Slope Parents Website, parkslopeparents.org, a just-gussied-up HTML outgrowth of the popular listserv and "The Ultimate Destination for Those Rockin' the Brooklyn Bugaboo." (Actually, the real tagline is "Your resource for raising children in Park Slope, Brooklyn," but you can consider this our official entry.) So what does online child-rearing in an overpriced, overfetishized sector of an outer borough entail? We went to the "Sneak Peek Week" site to find out.
At first, we were both lulled by a bunch of talcum-scented, yawn-worthy items: listings of local nannies and party venues, belly-cast debates (it's apparently "artistic expression," and don't ask more than that), and constipation ("poop on getting the poop out). But then we began to realize that, underneath the site's cheery façade — its senior developer is nicknamed "Chucky Bear" — there's a dark side to Brooklyn's Valhalla. Under the headline "Congratulations! You're pregnant! Now what," there's a listing for your friendly neighborhood abortion provider (their words, not ours!) and under parenting tips, we've got "Help with sleeping, eating and getting through life's transitions such as moving, potty training and death." (Okay, italics ours.) Then there's this, which requires no further comment. Yeesh — what we'd give for those simple days of anguished e-mails about Christians and latex.

A small group of Smith-Cotton High School varsity football players gathered at Jennie Jayne's Stadium on Tuesday before heading out to Lee's Summit to compete with area schools in seven-on-seven drills.
First-year head coach and five-year assistant coach for the Tigers Ryan Boyer said they have been going to Lee's Summit for the past few summers.
The Tigers will face Lee's Summit West, Lee's Summit, Truman and Odessa.
Lee's Summit West is the defending 5A state champions and will be in 6A this season.
"We wouldn't see them in the playoffs, but it is a very high-caliber team that you don't see until later," Boyer said.
Juniors Ricky Warren, Eli Kemp and Cory Bond were among the players who took the trip.
"It's going to be tough competition," Warren said. "It's going to be harder than what we are used to."
S-C has also competed against Class 3 Boonville and Class 4 Marshall in a previous seven-on-seven camp. Bond said Tuesday's match ups were about how they stack up.
"Just seeing how you match up with better competition," he said.
Each match up was set up for two 20-minute halves and there were more than a dozen teams scheduled to be there.
"There are a lot of tough teams coming down," Kemp said. "Just work on our communication and get reps."
When S-C went to Boonville, the linemen were also able to get some work in.
"It was seven-on-seven, but we also did a lineman challenge with it so our linemen got to do some things against Boonville and Marshall," Boyer said.
Boyer said also plans to send the freshmen and junior varsity players to Warsaw next month.
"So everybody gets some competition," he said. "They don't get to see much competition against other schools."
S-C has done seven-on-seven drills against themselves, but Boyer said it's always better to have the team go against other teams.
"The biggest thing is having them compete," he said. "You can only do so much with yourselves. It's nice to see them compete and start picking up on the concepts."
It also gives Boyer and the coaching staff an opportunity to get a reel of where they want certain guys to play.
"We are constantly evaluating them and seeing where we can use them in different spots," Boyer said. "We tell them that we may only be able to use you in a couple of places, but when we do we need you to be at your best."

Chlamydomonas #80502
March 5, 2013
Transmission electron microscope image, showing an example of green algae (Chlorophyta). Chlamydomanas reinhardtii is a unicellular flagellate used as a model system in molecular genetics work and flagellar motility studies. This image is a longitudinal section through the flagella area. In the cell apex is the basal body that is the anchoring site for a flagella. Basal bodies originate from and have a substructure similar to that of centrioles, with nine peripheral microtubule triplets(see structure at bottom center of image). The two inner microtubules of each triplet in a basal body become the two outer doublets in the flagella. This image also shows the transition region, with its fibers of the stellate structure. The top of the image shows the flagella passing through the cell wall. JEOL 100CX TEM Credit: Elizabeth Smith, Louisa Howard, Erin Dymek

I volunteered for Young Heroes earlier this year and was totally impressed and inspired by their work. My role was to raise money for AIDs orphans and participate in a cross country cycling fund raiser. That was the easy part. The Young Heroes team did the hard work e.g.,
1) Organizing the entire fundraiser with all its challenging logistics including:
* Getting a team of people from all over the US to remote Swaziland, kitting them up with gear, getting them across the country on a mountain bike and providing food and shelter along the way AND
* Getting a second team of volunteers from all over the US to remote Swaziland, organizing their daily trips into remote Swazi villages to sign hundreds and hundreds of local AID's orphans into the Young Heroes programs, AND providing that team with food and shelter along the way
2) And most important - providing food, clothes and education to the vulnerable Young Heroes of Swaziland giving them dignity, hope and a chance for a safer and better future.
I was tremendously inspired by the young Swazi children we met. They were gracious, respectful and happy (despite living in unbelievably difficult circumstances). Having the opportunity to meet these kids was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
Equally impressive was the dedicated staff of Young Heroes...the great team in Swazi, the Young Heroes Board and of course Steve Kallaugher, an inspiring man with a heart of gold.

Swaziland in Southern Africa has the highest HIV/AIDS infection rate in the world. Young Heroes works directly with orphans who have lost both parents to the disease by providing a monthly stipend to cover food, clothing, medical testing and treatment. I have been on the ground with Young Heroes volunteering each year for the past five years. I have seen it grow to include more children and services, including bereavement counseling, summer overnight camp and vocational training for those who age out of our system. I have been in these children's homes and communities, talked on their grass welcome mats, hugged them, seen their school work, danced with the caretakers, laughed and cried with them. And every year I return with more enthusiasm to continue the excellent work Young Heroes does and to reconnect with the amazing children and families who receive our support.

Swaziland is a poor country, on a subsistence economy, and the plight of an orphan is dire. Young Heroes is unique in that it takes a holistic approach to caring for the orphans, with a strategy to keep the children in their homesteads, where they can eventually take over providing for themselves, while giving them support and encouragement to continue in school, psychosocial support through camps and teen clubs, medical support with HIV testing and medications, and ultimately leading to vocational training support for those who choose to pursue a vocation when they "age out" of the program as young adults. It is immensely gratifying to see kids coming through the program with confidence and hope and positive outlook towards their future.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Continue to find ways to grow to reach all the orphans in Swaziland.
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
While working as a volunteer in Swaziland I spent some time working with Young Heroes. I identified and registered children in need and I even went out on a trip with Young Heroes to see how the assistance was being put to use. They are a wonderful organization & they really do a great job of making sure that your money ends up helping the children with their specific needs. I have seen first hand the way this Nonprofit changes the lives of the children it helps. I will always support Young Heroes.

like to help organize a fundraiser for it.
I've been a contributor for a number of years but this year got involved in fundraising. I like the fact that, because they are underwritten, every dollar contributed goes to feeding and clothing the AIDS orphans. They serve a need that is otherwise unknown in the US. The staff are extraordinarily dedicated and caring.

The only thing I would do is try to help it grow.
The goal of Young Heroes is to help the orphans of families in Swaziland affected by AIDS. Donations are used to help with basic needs such as food, clothing and education. Swaziland has a very high aids mortality rate, and children are left orphaned. What will become of these children?
I feel like I am giving them a chance to live a somewhat better life. And I feel that my money is being used to assist the children directly and not used for administrative reasons. Bravo to Young Heroes for the work they do!

knowing that something is being done to help children that cannot help themselves. The organization has grown alot since it started and now the number of families being helped is in the hundreds
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
try to publicize it more so more people know about it.
Young Heroes is now regarded as a model program in Southern Africa. Recognized by the UN and USAID as overwhelmingly effective and sustainable, the organization is both scalable and representative of the best in public-private partnership.
The scale of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Swaziland can lead to feeling of being overwhelmed. Young Heroes takes such a grounded approach to its implementation methodology that it lends hope to a situation often cast as hopeless.
Offering the essentials (food, clothing, school) to orphans on the one hand, and on the other constantly strengthening a nationwide network nested in the local HIV/AIDS government coordinating body, Young Heroes epitomizes all the core tenets of effective global health programming.

It's tempting to constantly tweak organizations like this, but often that is unnecessary. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Young Heroes does what it sets out to do: raise funds to provide a better life for orphans, while keeping them in their communities. I do hope that the organization is able to scale up further, and they achieve greater representation in the US and other countries.

Project Pat ft. Juicy J & Doe B - Never Be a G
Artist: Project Pat
Featuring: Juicy J
Producer: Mike WiLL Made It
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 3 votes )
In contemporary American society, it's common to tell kids that they can be anything they want to be, if they simply set their mind to it. Project Pat doesn't entirely agree. On a new single, the Memphis representative brusquely informs busters and snitches that, no matter how hard they may try to look and act the part, they just ain't cut out for the street life: "You'll Never ever ever ever ever Be a G." Backed by the eerie keys and pummeling percussion of Mike WiLL Made It, Pat looks back on his formative years as a chopper-toting tough, and mocks his foes for their lack of experience on the block. Currently accompanying the headliner and Travi$ Scott on the national Never Sober Tour, Juicy J handles verse two, and Montgomery, Alabama-repping newcomer Doe B rounds out the lineup. This joint isn't currently attached to a larger set, but we'll keep you posted on Project Pat's 2014 plans as further details emerge.

The digest is delayed today because duh, Michigan. But other things did happen today. For one thing, HealthBridge workers got another win against evil boss Daniel Straus. SEIU 1199 emails this news:
In a major victory for striking HealthBridge employees, today Federal Judge Robert N. Chatigny granted an injunction filed by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to temporarily halt HealthBridge's unilateral implementation of unlawful cuts at five nursing homes. The cuts forced nearly 600 Connecticut caregivers out on strike in July.And more:
Citing HealthBridge's pattern of unlawful activity, Chatigny determined that injunctive relief is necessary to protect HealthBridge employees from illegal behavior until a decision is reached in the case against the company. The injunction reverses HealthBridge's unilateral implementation of contract conditions that destroyed workers' ability to support their families and provide quality care to residents.
Today's decision in favor of workers and against HealthBridge is one of several that have been handed down in recent months. Administrative law judges have issued two additional rulings finding the company guilty of violating federal laws intended to protect workers' rights.
- UNITE HERE and Hyatt workers are urging the hotel chain to put a hotel worker on its board of directors:
Holding signs and speaking before large crowds, housekeepers say "someone like me" would make Hyatt a better company, for workers and shareholders alike. Democratic corporate governance structures that include workers have been successful in European countries for decades.
"We all have a shared stake in Hyatt's success, but no one who cleans rooms like me has a real say at Hyatt," says Cathy Youngblood, a housekeeper at the Hyatt Andaz in West Hollywood. "By choosing someone like me to be on the board, Hyatt could be a model for corporate America at a time when so many American workers feel left behind."
Currently, Hyatt has twelve directors on its board. The new resolution proposes that a 13th board member be added from the ranks of Hyatt's staff.

I may be biased, but I think of Ohio as the king of swing states. There are so many reasons to consider, but I will cut it down to just a few points.
- Ohio has been on the winning side of EVERY presidential election since 1964.
- Yes, Florida & PA are bigger swing-ish states (pop. 18 million, 12 million respectively), but Ohio still has a sizable population at 11.5 million (7th in the nation). When you subtract the "set in stone" states of California, New York, Illinois, and Texas (there's almost no point in even campaigning there, which is why candidates skimp on election spending on those states) you are left with three "swings;" but even Florida and Pennsylvania do have a typical slant (Republican and Democrat, respectively). We Ohioans are real swing voters and just can't make up our frakking minds!
- There is temptation to believe that you must win Ohio to win, but that's not true. It's just that Ohio is a microcosm of America in ways that few other states are. Our balance between cities and rural areas is the closest to the national balance. A winning formula in Ohio typically translates into a winning formula for the nation.
- We have several major decaying "rust belt" urban areas (Cleveland, Toledo, Akron, Youngstown), a boom-town (Columbus), and a reborn town that is more "Southern" than "Northern" (Cincinnati).
- Our rural areas are ultra-conservative and very religious, while our main urban centers are very liberal.
- We elect high-profile politicians who have a habit of ending up in the national spotlight (Voinovich, Kucinich, Boener, and Kasich).
- We have a state that isn't overly corrupt (by comparison), but doesn't function well either (by comparison).
- We are one of the most unionized (and, subsequently union friendly) states.
- We have a "north and south" divide within the state that — conveniently — runs horizontally through the state right were Columbus is, this very much mimics the "north and south" divide in the actual United States.
- Ohio is the seat of MANY major corporations (Key Bank, 5/3 Bank, Nationwide Insurance, Progressive Insurance, Goodyear, Wendy's, Office Max, Owens-Corning, P&G, Sherwin Williams, Smucker's, Kroger, Macy's, First Energy).
- Ohio contributes significantly to many major national industries (natural gas, coal, farming [corn, apples, cattle, alpaca], steel, second in automobiles).
- We have three major metropolitan areas (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati) and five medium-metro areas (Toledo, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, and Dayton).
- Culturally, Ohio is at the "heart" of the USA. We aren't overtly any one thing (unlike, say, California, Texas, Louisiana, or Massachusetts), but a little bit of everything. (Which says something about our notorious reputation for blandness.)
- We are the "Jews of the USA" (compliment intended). Our diaspora is everywhere (and I'm not kidding, just talk to people from other states, we've infiltrated all you suckers!). We don't like Ohio when we live here, but we lament leaving it when we're gone.

This last group of skeletons is fashioned from papier-mâché, as are the rest, although the bicycles are real enough. According to the tour guide leading a visitor into the school, the skeletons' creator, Victor Yepez, has a thing about bicycles. They appear with some frequency in his work, although not usually with skeletal riders. No, these cadaverous commuters are unique to the Mexican Day of the Dead, and this invasion of skeletons is thanks to the CreArte Gallery, which has occupied several rooms of the high school.
The tour guide then shows off his own little office, just a tiny box near the front entrance. It feels very much like one of those tiny dioramas that are popular on the Day of the Dead: skeletons sitting in a diner, eating; skeletons gathered in a barber shop, reading magazines and getting their bald pates trimmed; or, in this case, skeletons in a tiny office, seated behind a desk, peering at paperwork.
But there is very little of the skeleton to the tour guide, Zaraawar Mistry. He is 38 years old and full-faced, with a somewhat pointed nose and a puckish mouth, and a broad frame that wears a black T-shirt printed with the logotype for his new organization. An enormous letter c surrounds the remaining text, spelling out "Center for Independent Artists." The organization--which intends to provide resources, advice, equipment, and a performing space for theater artists--is a month and a half old and inhabits this tiny office in El Colegio Charter High School. The school was also the location for the Center for Independent Artists' first production: an unusual play titled Hand in Hand, which drew from the life of Helen Keller.
The play's creator, Leslye Orr, is also the cofounder of the Center for Independent Artists. Incidentally, she and Mistry are married ("It is the first time we have ever worked together on a project," Mistry says, "and probably the last. Our projects are very different."). Orr may be best-known for her one-woman show Women Who Drink, which seems to play at the Bryant-Lake Bowl every few months, but she created Hand in Hand 20 years ago and has performed it ever since. Orr, legally blind since birth, asks her audiences to close their eyes throughout the play, then proceeds with a tactile-intensive performance. She touches the faces of her audiences, they touch her face, they touch one another's faces, and, ultimately, spend an hour of their life experiencing a theatrical version of blindness.
It is an unusual production, and Orr claims an unusual inspiration for it: "It's one of those projects that I don't feel like I am the author of," Orr explains via telephone. "I honestly feel like Helen Keller wrote it."
Mistry shows off the little theater used for the production of Hand in Hand. It's not a theater, really. Instead, it's a large room with a curtain drawn across the center, currently in use by a classroom watching a television documentary about Kwanzaa. The high school--situated across the street from an agreeable little park named Bancroft Meadows on 41st and Bloomington in south Minneapolis--is a converted Jubilee Foods grocery store, and many of the rooms still have the feel of converted stockrooms about them. But it is spacious enough for a crowd of 50 or so, and Mistry shows off several makeshift wooden risers that can be placed across the room for audiences.
Nearby are several bathrooms, or, more properly, "spacious bathrooms," according to Mistry, which can be used as a changing room for actors. "And if we need more space, we can use this room," Mistry says in his typically retiring manner, his voice quiet and betraying a hint of an Indian accent.
"The real advantage of this location," Mistry adds, "are all the parking spaces." Some of these are visible through the window, an expanse of the former grocery store's lot. They provide the Center for Independent Artists with a benefit almost unheard-of in the local theater scene: plentiful free parking for audiences. Add to that a scene shop, a functional theater space with ample bathroom changing rooms, a tiny digital camera, a videotape machine in Mistry's diminutive office, plus a handful of iMac computers that are available to artists (when they are not occupied by the students of the high school). Indeed, the Center for Independent Artists ("CIA," Mistry says, winking) has exactly the right tools for a new arts organization.
Which invites an obvious question. In a city glutted with arts organizations, why do we need another one?

Rated 3 out of 5 by Scientist33 Don't Last Long Enough The boot is good and comfortable, but only lasted me one year. The sole is prone to leaking after a year of pushing through briars, sticks, and other such objects. If you wear them as much as I do (a couple times a week), you'll end up with wet feet eventually. Otherwise the boot is good. If you're just a weekend hunter, these will last for a bit. April 16, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5 by huntinbuddy786 field and stream rubber hunting boots I have worn them for about two weeks and so far they have performed as expected. I wear wide shoes and these boots fit pretty well. They are true to size. So far no leaks, cracks or broken soles. The are very firm on the insoles, no support or cushioning. You might want to get a larger side and put in better insoles. My feet hurt after a couple of days of wearing these boots. They were as warm or warmer than my 800 gm boots from BPS that fell apart. Stay away from BPS products are the worst. December 8, 2012

Several employees of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) went on a hunger strike at Chennai airport on Tuesday, continuing to register their protest against the proposal to privatise the airport. AAI employees have been protesting this move by the government for over three months now.
"We will continue our hunger strike till Friday. After that, we will coordinate with the union members in New Delhi and announce our next move. We are also trying to seek the Chief Minister's help in this issue," said L. George, regional secretary of the Airports Authority Employees' Union (AAEU).
The striking employees said they have not received any satisfactory response to their protest from the civil aviation ministry. "We have been protesting continually, but ministry officials have not paid heed to it," Mr. George said.
Earlier this month, when several bidders came to visit the airport, the protestors refused to allow some of them inside the terminals.

The psychopath asks the FBI agent a question in the 1991 classic The Silence Of The Lambs: 'How do we begin to covet?' The answer: We begin by coveting what we see every day.
"If you see it on TV, that people have fewer children, that they are more successful, that their kids go to school, they look nicer, that they take care of themselves, then they will do the same," says Jose Martins Soares, head of emerging markets research at Espirito Santo Investment Bank who evoked Anthony Hopkins to drive his point home about how access to information is empowering women.
In rural India, for example, research shows the onset of cable TV reduced preference for a son (desire of having a boy instead of a girl), fertility and the reported acceptability of beating while increasing women's autonomy and school enrolment. Other changes such as the spread of smartphones and formal education have helped narrow the gap between the position of women in emerging and developed markets. The accompanying transfer of wealth presents a significant investment theme predicated on equality for women.
In an interview with DNA's Sachin P Mampatta, he explained how this works. Edited excerpts.
What led to the theme to develop?
Investors have already played to the emerging market growth story. The China growth story has already been played out. The consumption growth story, to a certain extent, has already been played out. But the female-driven consumption story is growing faster than any of these three and it hasn't been properly approached.
A hundred years ago, women couldn't vote – it doesn't seem so long ago. Today in the US, for example, 50% of the wealth is in the hands of women and 57% of the university graduates are women. So, equality has been achieved in very significant ways and in a very reduced amount of time in historical terms.
What we've seen in the US is being seen elsewhere. It is the inexorable march of progress. In emerging markets, with or without some obstacles in the way, women are overcoming these hurdles. And they are going to do exactly the same in emerging markets as is happening in developed markets.
That in our view is an amazing investment opportunity. Assuming that consumption patterns don't change much, there is a $4.6 trillion opportunity to play this theme globally in the next five years.
How do you distinguish between a company which is part of the consumption theme from one which fits the female consumption theme?
One thing that was interesting is that across all markets, not just emerging markets, between 60-80% of all consumption decisions are made by females. So, the companies that cater well to that decision maker will have a great future. Whether the product in itself is for them or for someone else, it is the decision maker that counts.
Nielsen did this very interesting study, that came to the conclusion that the number one priority for developed market women is where they go on holiday, the next vacation. Whereas for emerging market women, it is their children's education, clothes, and food.
That's how we came up with the key sectors to look at, as a consequence on the companies to look at. It may not necessarily be a company that caters specifically to women.
How does India stack up?
India was the country, out of the 13 that we analysed here, where recently we have seen the quickest progress. It is on a lower base, true at levels of education and school attendance, but it is the one that has risen the fastest.
I think there are two factors which contributed to that. One was the access to information with smartphones and internet and the introduction of pay TV.
Pay TV was introduced in India region-by-region because of all the approvals. If you look at fertility rates, incidents of domestic violence and use of hygiene... the effect of Pay TV in 6-7 months later... it is amazing how quick it was.
In Brazil, it was the case of the eight o' clock soap operas. For me, the next level is access to university and tertiary education. To me, the next step in India is going to be exactly that one. As fertility rates go down, women can go to school, go to work... so they join the student base and the labour force. It is this that will lead to older mothers, more educated mothers, smarter mothers and wealthier mothers.
TV makes the rest of the world visible to rural India. If you see it on TV, that people have fewer children, that they are more successful, that their kids go to school they look nicer, that they take care of themselves, then they will do the same, they tend to adopt the same. And rural India is converging very fast.
Do cultural differences affect how this kind of story plays out?
In sub-Saharan Africa, women don't go to school. The only part of the world where we have not seen progress in terms of access to tertiary education has been sub-Saharan Africa. Other than that, every single region of the globe is converging to a point where they are actually surpassing the university attendance of men.
A generation ago, my grandfather was a pioneer because he had four children of which three were daughters, and he made a point that all of them would go to school. That was my grandfather. That was Portugal, that was Europe. Today, it is unacceptable that my sons or daughters don't have the same opportunity that I do. To a certain extent, emerging markets will leap-frog what we've seen in the US. It would be a lot faster.
The United Arab Emirates already has more women going to university than men. So, the fact that women can't drive in Saudi Arabia will change. In India, I was really surprised by how quickly the literacy rate improved over the last 10 years. Ratio of girls to boys in 1991 was 67% and in 2010, it's 95%. It was lower than Turkey in 1991 and now is the same as any developed country.
Any drawbacks?
The biggest headwind in these companies is that they are overvalued. Consumer stocks in South Africa are super overvalued. In Brazil, we found a way around it. We recommended Klabin, which does Cardboard. And shoes come in carboard boxes. It's a lot cheaper. In the same way in Brazil, we recommend Porto Seguro which means 'safe harbour'. It is an insurance company with exposure to the auto sector.
As more women learn how to drive, they have less accidents than men. In many, many markets, they pay less insurance premium than men because they have fewer accidents.
Sometimes there aren't any pure plays. But the trend is there and the trend is absolutely visible. The companies that understand that do well.
