An eight-part series dealing with the ever-shifting terrain of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is coincidentally vying for screen time with the most recent outbreak of violence in Gaza.
It's the kind of free publicity you either dream of or have nightmares about: The premiere of an eight-part miniseries dealing with the ever-shifting terrain and loyalties of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict debuted on the Sundance Channel on July 31 — vying for screen time with the most recent outbreak of war in Gaza, rocket attacks on Israel and anti-Semitic displays from around the world.
Hugo Blick, the writer/producer/director of The Honorable Woman says he wasn't surprised by the conflation of real and fictional events. He says he was aware of the possibility of a third war in the area since 2009 when he was researching in Hebron 18 months ago. "You know that it's never going away — it's a cycle, although one could never expect the prescience of the timing."
Steeped in espionage, dueling historical interpretations and constantly morphing relationships that firmly establishes Blick, a 49-year-old Briton, as a worthy successor to John Le Carré, the series compresses the enormity of decades of conflict into one woman's family.
Nessa Stein — played with protean skill by Maggie Gyllenhal — an Israeli-born citizen of England who has just been appointed to the House of Lords, also runs the munitions company founded by her father. A devout Zionist, he supplied arms to Israel until he was murdered in front of a young Nessa and her brother, Ephra. As she tries to realize her dream of providing high-speed data access to both Israel and the Palestinian territories, her past begins to catch up with her in a slow-burning conflagration that attracts MI-6, the CIA and the Palestinian terrorists who captured her and her Palestinian friend/translator, Atika, eight years ago.
The premise of The Honorable Woman is so au courant that it prominently features many of the same players and locales that have been splayed across front pages and home pages reporting on the current war. But the genesis of Blick's vision first manifested itself more than three decades ago, with the attempted assassination of Israel's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Shlomo Argov, an incident that left Argov permanently paralyzed and that led directly to the first Lebanon War in 1982.
Blick says the impact of that horrific event has stayed with him since he first found out about it as a child. "I was in the area as a boy, and I remember it — I was very aware at that time of the PLO activity" — Argov was targeted by followers of Abu Nidal, who had rejected the PLO by that point as not being sufficiently proactive in anti-Israel terrorism.
The 1982 attack left Blick with a lifelong fascination in how the personal and the geopolitical can be inexorably linked. A note of incredulity can be heard in his voice as he talks about how the assassination attempt, which took place in front of London's Dorchester Hotel, reverberated around the world.
"Acts of violence, when you're close to them, and they're not anticipated, they can have a strong influence — look at how a couple of meters of a London sidewalk became part of an intractable conflict."
Although he wasn't raised Jewish, Blick has a Jewish father, which, he says, deepened his interest in Israeli affairs. "I should say I have a greater interest and affirmation" in what happens to Israel, "and how difficult it is for Israel to be surrounded by combatants on its border, but I recognize the pressing need of the other side as well." That need to acknowledge the needs of both Israelis and Palestinians asserts itself in an evenhanded way throughout the series.
Blick's belief in the interconnected nature of an event's impact on both micro and macro levels provides the thematic structure of The Honorable Woman, and the luxury of filming what amounts to an eight-hour movie allows him to explore the psychological and emotional effects of those who have been exposed to violence both physical and intangible, real and implied.
The resultant pacing may take some getting used to for viewers used to resolutions presented within a traditional film's two-hour running time, and produces an immersive experience along the lines of The Sopranos and Breaking Bad, two other long-form shows that didn't shy away from mixing introspective moments with plot-necessitated violence.
"The meditative, contemplative pace of this gives it a unique voice," Blick says, citing the influence of filmmakers like Jon Boorman and Carol Reed, whose films like Point Blank and Odd Man Out, respectively, are paragons of the deliberately paced psychological action thriller.
One way that Blick has differentiated The Honorable Woman from both his predecessors and, indeed, from the vast majority of films and television being made today, is by having virtually all of the lead roles go to the women of his international cast, including Janet McTeer as the head of MI-6, Lubna Azabal as Atika and Katherine Parkinson as Nessa's sister-in-law. Blick says that having his story revolve around women "was conscious to a degree." He wondered, "What would happen if I put women into the story and made them protagonists? How would we explore their psychology in the genre?"
Social experiments aside, The Honorable Woman is a prime example of how good television can be in the right hands. Smart, taut storylines that delve into the politics and the history of the conflict at the same time they unravel individual lives, it is a wholly believable, fully realized world that offers nuances and observations about the ongoing Israel-Palestinian struggle.
So how did Blick, who is best known to American audiences as the actor who portrayed a young Jack Napier before he became the Joker in the 1989 version of Batman — where he uttered the famous non-sequitur, "Did you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?" — get the go-ahead to create a program that would require a commitment from viewers to watch eight hours of sometimes-bloody, sometimes-expository Middle East-centric storylines with a female-heavy cast?
To hear the publicity-shy Blick (he sounds delighted when told that the most detailed personal information readily available about him begins and ends with his birth year) tell it, it's all because no one else wanted to do Marion and Geoff, a drama about a cabbie that ran from 2000 to 2003.
"No one would fund it, so I did it myself," he says, taking the reins out of sheer desperation and necessity.
Marion and Geoff wound up winning numerous awards in Britain and led to numerous other television projects for Blick, most notably the 2011 series, The Shadow Line, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Christopher Eccleston.
The Honorable Woman is being shown simultaneously in the United Kingdom and the United States, thanks to the distribution partnership between the BBC and Sundance Channel. Surprisingly, though, Blick says there are no plans at present to show it in Israel. He affirms that it will happen "at the right moment," especially since the series has received such a positive response from both critics and viewers.
"People have engaged in the dexterity of the exploration of the story," he says. "I hope it does have some place in the region's understanding of itself. Some small place."

100 chin-ups. Yes, full reange of motion ie. locked arms.
I use a pyramid style because it's the easiest way to reach your goal of one hundred. Like this: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and same route down to complete 100. I rest about 10 secs between first 5 sets, between those longer sets I rest up to 90 secs. My record so far is 22 minutes. My bodyweight is about 195lbs, so losing weight might help a little.
Do not try to throw after this workout

I've heard that 50 reps is the most you should do at one time. I don't know how that pyramid of increasing and then decreasing reps per set complies to that. I think the 50 rep bit concerns only one set. Wouldn't the pyramid scheme allow the muscles the time to recuperate enough to go into the sleep mode in some parts from too many reps?
I have no idea how J-La does pull ups and what the correct form would be. Any tips on the correct form?

On the dessert menu of Lincoln Ristorante, search for Bocca Nera ($12), Italian for "black mouth." The individual cakes live up to their name—rich in chocolate and decidedly intense. Think triple-packed layers of supple, bitter chocolate mousse and a classic dark chocolate cake, all cocooned with a rough polish of cocoa. Pair that with pastry chef Richard Capizzi's housemade vin cotto gelato, the cool silk perfect for cutting the intensity of chocolate. (And if you're a gelato person, can't go wrong with the dessert tasting of three constantly changing seasonal gelato flavors.) A garnish of walnut streusel and walnut paste is completed with poached medjool dates and a final drizzle of vin cotto.

The anti-genetically modified food movement is now looking to scare the public from eating Valentine's Day candy. The group GMO Inside launched a campaign against Hersey and Mars to force them to label GM products or eliminate them.
Hershey and Mars comprise approximately 70 percent of the U.S. chocolate market. Although chocolate is not genetically modified, many of the ingredients used such as the sugar is made from GM sugar beets or corn syrup, according to John Roulac, co-chairman, GMO Inside.
The campaign is calling for the public to use social media, e-mails and phone calls to pressure these companies into eliminating or labeling GM ingredients.
These groups' strategy reminds me of when the Center for Science in the Public Interest launched its campaign against movie theater popcorn, Chinese food and other similar foods. At some point, CSPI jumped the shark. The public stopped taking them seriously and recognized them—not as a credible science-based organization—as an agenda-driven group designed to criticize people's food choices. Groups like GMO Inside and others may have jumped the shark with this latest campaign. Attacking Valentine's Day candy may be just too much for the public to bear and accept.
GMO Inside's campaign against candy makers is only a small part of a larger strategy to target large food manufacturers and pressure them into labeling GM foods or eliminate them. The strategy seems to be ramping up after California's Prop 37 was defeated, which would have required food manufacturers to label GM ingredients. After that bill failed, anti-GM groups are searching for any way to either get legislation on the ballot in other states with the goal of eventually having a nationwide policy of labeling GMOs or to pressure food manufacturers through the public to label their products.
Earlier this year, GMO Inside launched a similar campaign against cereal makers General Mills and Kellogg. In both campaigns, GMO Inside has tried to paint these companies as hiding information by tying the companies to donations they made to defeat Prop 37 in California.
Both Kellogg and General Mills defended their positions publically by stating that world organizations have deemed GMOs to be safe and that they continue to follow the science, regulations and consumers' preferences.
These groups' tactics are tantamount to bullying. In today's bully-sensitive culture, this tactic seems crass and desperate. Without any specific, credible science to back up their claims, the only strategy they have left is bullying and name calling. And that's not a very loving way to change people's minds, especially on a day designed to foster love and kindness.

In one sentence: The choices and style of translations from Chinese sources are part of the reason behind the ongoing "hinayana" problem in a Western context.
In another sentence: The First Commandment for Translators: Thou shalt translate into thy native language.
Yes, sir! That is correct, sir!
Now, we just have to convince a whole heap of people who are translating into somebody else's native language, that this is, indeed, the case.

Please do not regard Vajrasattva as merely a trick to alleviate psychologi-

When I first read this, it sounded a bit "theistic", as Trungpa might say, so I was wondering if this is the standard Vajrayana POV.


text: URMC / Encyclopedia / Content Spina Bifida What is spina bifida? Spina bifida is a birth defect that causes problems with the spine, spinal cord, and the surrounding nerves. It can cause part of the spinal cord and areas around it to develop outside of the body. This problem can happen anywhere along the spine. Spina bifida is a type of neural tube defect. Neural tube defects affect 7 out of 10,000 live births in the U.S. What are the types of spina bifida? Spina bifida occulta This is a mild form of spina bifida. The spinal cord and the surrounding structures stay inside the baby. But lower spine doesn't form as it should. The child may have a hairy patch, dimple, or birthmark over the area of the defect. Other children may not have any visual problems in the area. Meningocele This is a moderate form of spina bifida. The fluid-filled sac that surrounds the spinal cord is outside of the body in the spine area. The sac does not contain the spinal cord or nerves. Myelomeningocele This is a severe form of spina bifida. The spinal cord and nerves develop outside the body. They are contained in a fluid-filled sac that is outside of the body in the spine area. A baby with this problem usually has weakness and loss of sensation below the defect. The baby may have problems with bowel and bladder function. Most with myelomeningocele will also have hydrocephalus. This is a condition that causes the fluid inside the head to build up. The buildup puts pressure on the inside of the head. The skull bones expand to a size that's larger than normal. How does spina bifida happen? During pregnancy, the brain and spine begin as a flat plate of cells. This plate rolls into a tube, called the neural tube. The tube is completely formed 28 to 32 days after conception. If all or part of the neural tube fails to close, this leaves an opening. The opening is called an open neural tube defect. The opening in the tube may be left exposed or covered with bone or skin. The neural tube in a child with spina bifida doesn't close at some point along the spine. Spina bifida is one of the most common types of open neural tube defects. Another type is anencephaly. This type happens when the neural tube doesn't close at the base of the skull. A much more rare type is encephalocele. In this defect, part of the brain or its coverings extend through the skull. What causes spinal bifida? In most cases, a child with a neural tube defect has no family history of this problem. Neural tube defects are caused by a combination of genes passed on from both parents and environmental factors. Some of these factors include obesity, uncontrolled diabetes in the mother, and certain prescription medicines. Once a child with a neural tube defect has been born in the family, the chance that this problem will happen in another child rises to 1 in 25. The type of neural tube defect can differ the second time. For example, one baby could be born with anencephaly, and a second baby could have spina bifida instead. What are the symptoms of spina bifida? The following are the most common symptoms of spina bifida. But symptoms may be slightly different for each baby. Your baby's back looks different from normal. This might be a small, hairy patch, dimple, or birthmark along the spine. Or it might be a pouch-like structure (sac) in the spine area. Your baby has constipation or incontinence. Your baby isn't able to feel anything below the place on the spine where the sac is. This is especially true for babies born with a meningocele or myelomeningocele. Your baby can't move his or her legs (paralysis). The baby may also have other problems. These include: Increased fluid and pressure in the head area (hydrocephalus). This happens in about 7 to 9 out of 10 cases. Heart problems Bone problems Lower than normal level of intelligence The symptoms of spina bifida may look like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis. How is spina bifida diagnosed? You may need tests while you are pregnant to look for spina bifida in your developing baby. The tests include: Blood tests The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends that a blood test be offered to all pregnant women who have not had a child with a neural tube defect and who don't have a family history of these. The blood test is done between 16 and 18 weeks of pregnancy. It measures levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and other things in your blood. The test can tell if you are at increased risk for an open neural tube defect. AFP is a protein normally made by the fetus. If a fetus has an open neural tube defect, the AFP level in the mother's blood usually will be higher than normal. The test doesn't say for certain that a fetus has this problem, but it shows which pregnancies are at greater risk. If your results show you are at risk, you may need more testing. Prenatal ultrasound (sonography) This imaging test uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to make images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs. Ultrasounds let healthcare providers see the internal organs as they function. They also show blood flow through blood vessels. Prenatal ultrasound may be able to find an open neural tube defect. Your provider may also use ultrasound to look at other organs and body systems of the fetus. Amniocentesis This test looks at a small sample of the fluid that surrounds the fetus. The healthcare provider uses a long, thin needle to reach the amniotic sac. He or she takes the sample of fluid and checks it for AFP. The test may not be able to find small or closed defects. Preventing neural tube defects The neural tube closes 28 to 32 days after conception, before many women are aware that they are pregnant. Normal development of the brain and spinal cord may be affected during these first 3 to 8 weeks of pregnancy by: Genetic problems Being around hazardous chemicals and other substances Not getting proper vitamins such as folic acid and other nutrients in the diet Infection Using prescription medicine or alcohol Researchers have found that a woman who gets enough folic acid (vitamin B-9) can help lower the risk for neural tube defects. Folic acid is found in some leafy green vegetables, nuts, beans, citrus fruits, and fortified breakfast cereals. The American College of Medical Genetics and the CDC recommend that all women of childbearing age take a multivitamin that has folic acid. Folic acid is in prenatal vitamins. Getting this vitamin early in pregnancy is most important. If you have had a child with a neural tube defect, your healthcare provider may recommend taking a larger amount of folic acid before your next pregnancy. Your provider may tell you to take this extra amount for 1 to 2 months before conception and then through the first trimester. Other risk factors for neural tube defects include: The mother's age. Spina bifida is more common in teenage mothers. History of miscarriage Birth order. First-born infants are at higher risk. Socioeconomic status. Children born into lower socioeconomic families are at higher risk of developing spina bifida. Researchers think that poor diet may be a factor. Living with spina bifida Treatment will depend on your baby's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is. The primary goals of managing spina bifida are to prevent infection and to protect the spinal cord and nerves that are exposed outside of the body. You may need to have a cesarean section. This is often done to lower the risk for damage to the spinal cord that may occur during a vaginal delivery. Babies born with a meningocele or a myelomeningocele usually need to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Your child may need surgery to close the defect. Surgery can help manage the problems, but it can't restore muscle function or sensation to a normal state. Your child may need surgery to: Repair and close the defect Treat hydrocephalus Treat bone (orthopedic) problems. Bone problems may include curvature in the back, hip dislocation, ankle and foot deformities, and contracted muscles. Babies and children with spina bifida are also at risk of breaking bones because their bones may be weaker than normal. Repair bowel and bladder problems. Surgery can help with elimination, incontinence, and constipation, or when the bladder does not empty completely. After surgery, you will get instructions on caring for your baby at home. You may be told how to: Look at your baby's skin, especially over bony areas such as the elbows, buttocks, back of the thighs, heel, and foot areas. You may need to change your baby's position often to prevent pressure sores. Help your baby with bowel and bladder function Feed your baby and monitor your baby's nutrition Help your baby move and encourage him or her to be active Help with your baby's growth and development Not all babies need surgery to repair spina bifida. Instead a baby may need: Rehabilitation Positioning aids that help the child sit, lie, or stand Braces and splints that help prevent deformity. These also give support or protection to areas of the body. Medicines Latex precautions Babies with spina bifida are at high risk of developing a latex allergy. This because they are exposed to latex during the many medical and surgical procedures they need. Your baby's healthcare team will do their best to limit how much latex your baby is exposed to. Your baby's healthcare providers can help you find out which products that contain latex and also find products that are latex-free. Lifelong concerns Spina bifida is a lifelong condition that has no cure. Your child's healthcare providers will work to prevent deformities or keep them to a minimum. They will also work to help your child make the most of his or her capabilities. You can help your child strengthen his or her self-esteem and be as independent as possible. Physical and occupational rehabilitation, plus extra support in school can help a child function as well as possible. The full extent of spina bifida is usually not completely known right after birth. It can become clearer as the child grows and develops. Future pregnancies Your healthcare provider may recommend genetic counseling. You can discuss with a counselor the risk of a neural tube defect in a future pregnancy. Also talk with your provider about getting a prescription for folic acid to lower the risk for another open neural tube defect. Medical Reviewers: Fetterman, Anne, RN, BSN Shelat, Amit, MD

Witnesses have told how they heard loud cracks in a Burleigh Heads shopping precinct this morning moments before a metal awning collapsed, killing one man and injuring three women and two children.
Police later confirmed that the 54-year-old Gold Coast man was struck by the awning as it fell at 11.40am and left trapped.
"I just heard a loud cracking sound and turned around," one witness told television news crews at the site.
Bystanders stopped to try to hold up the awning while medical crews worked on the man and those injured.
A police spokeswoman said this afternoon that police believed the awning collapse was an accident, but that Workplace Health and Safety inspectors would examine the site.
"The awning has just fallen straight down," the police spokeswoman said.
The shop is believed to be over 30 years old and it is unknown whether there have recently been renovations to either the building or the awning.
The are is described by local retailers as an area "you stroll through, not drive through".
James Street, sitting back from the beach and near the busy Burleigh Heads Bowls Club, is one of Burleigh's most "eclectic streets," a Gold Coast City Council spokesman said.
"James Street in Burleigh is quite an old street in Burleigh as far as the buildings go," the spokesman said.
Gold Coast City Council would co-operate with the investigation, he said.
The three other woman injured in the collapse were taken to the Gold Coast Hospital: One, aged 52, sustained back injuries; another, 64, received wrist injuries; while the third, 42, received a fractured wrist.
The two children, aged 12 and nine, were treated by ambulance crews at the site.
The deceased man's name has not been released.
A report was being prepared for the coroner.

Retail sales volumes unexpectedly fell in the third quarter, sending the kiwi dollar lower on speculation the economy is weak enough to warrant a rate cut from the Reserve Bank next month.
The volume of retail sales fell 0.4 percent, seasonally adjusted, in the three months ended September 30, for a 2.1 percent gain from a year earlier, according to Statistics New Zealand.
A quarterly gain of 0.5 percent was forecast in a Reuters survey, for an annual increase of 2.9 percent.
The third quarter retail sales data comes after figures showed the jobless rate unexpectedly jumped to 7.3 percent, suggesting the economy's pace is stumbling.
Reserve Bank governor Graeme Wheeler has said he has room to cut interest rates if needed and his next review is on December 6.
Markets were pricing in a 24 percent chance of a cut to the official cash rate next month.
The kiwi dollar dropped to 81.54 US cents from 81.91 cents immediately before the retail report was released.
Nine of the 15 retail industries had lower sales volumes in the latest quarter. Excluding auto-related categories, retail sales volumes were down 0.3 percent.
The value of sales fell 0.8 percent.
Supermarket and grocery store sales fell 1.5 percent, accommodation was down 3.2 percent and motor vehicles and auto parts fell 0.9 percent.
Hardware, building and garden supplies recorded the biggest gain, up 4.2 percent, which the government statistician said reflected increased sales in Canterbury, in a rebuilding phase after major earthquakes.
The value of sales in the North Island fell 0.4 percent in the latest quarter while South Island sales rose 0.7 percent.

Padres sweep Reds behind Ross' shutout
Young righty allows just three baserunners; Rivera plates three
SAN DIEGO -- After getting hung out to dry by the Padres' offense in June, Tyson Ross finally got some early run support on Wednesday and responded by pitching the first shutout of his career to lead San Diego past Cincinnati in a 3-0 win that clinched the team's first three-game sweep of 2014.
Ross struck out nine, walked none and allowed just three hits to pick up his first win since May 31. The right-hander, who's usually reliant on his slider as an out pitch, instead dominated with his fastball that regularly touched 95 mph on the radar gun.
"I had great fastball command today, better than I've had all season," Ross said. "I really just kind of rolled with that and mixed in some sliders and changeups as well."
Ross threw 120 pitches, 87 of which were strikes. In his first full season as a starter, he's given up two earned runs or less in 12 of his 18 starts.
"I think today was a game where I think he really smelled the finish line," said Padres manager Bud Black. "We've talked about that, Tyson and I, that there was gonna come a time for this game. … We talked just briefly after the eighth and there was no doubt in my mind that he was going to go back out there and put a zero up."
Cincinnati came into San Diego riding a five-game winning streak having swept the National League West-leading Giants in four games, but now ends its West Coast road trip on a three-game skid that included two shutouts. The Padres, meanwhile, have won four in a row. San Diego finishes with a 5-1 record against Cincinnati in 2014.
Johnny Cueto was MLB's ERA leader (1.88) heading into the contest, but San Diego staked out a 3-0 lead against him in the first frame.
The Padres loaded the bases with singles by Chris Denorfia and Chase Headley and a Tommy Medica walk. Rene Rivera brought them all home with a two-out single to center that bounced off the glove of a diving Billy Hamilton, providing the only scoring play of the game.
"That at-bat, I didn't want to try to do too much because he's such a good pitcher," Rivera said. "I wasn't trying to swing hard, I just wanted to put the ball in play."
Ross certainly was due for some offensive support after the Padres scored just one run while he was on the mound in the entire month of June -- a run that came via a sacrifice fly by Ross himself, no less.
Cueto held the Padres scoreless for the rest of his outing to keep his ERA at a tidy 1.99. He allowed seven hits and three runs in seven innings, with three walks and eight strikeouts.
"Tyson made [the lead] hold up against the guy [Cueto] that's probably gonna start the All-Star Game," Black said. "That's what I like -- this guy's probably going to start the All-Star Game, and Tyson outpitched him."
Seth Smith, who signed a two-year, $13 million contract extension Wednesday morning, appeared to give the Padres a fourth run on a double in the fourth inning.
But after the run was initially put on the scoreboard to give San Diego a 4-0 lead, Reds third baseman Ramon Santiago stepped on the bag and Irving Falu was called out for missing third base as he wheeled home. Black challenged, but replay confirmed the call and Smith's hit was changed to a single.
Todd Frazier had two singles for Cincinnati, and Brayan Pena had a double. But that was all the Reds could muster against Ross, who's now given up just two runs in 25 innings against the Reds over his career.
"He kept most of us off balance," Frazier said. "I'm glad I got the two hits, but nobody was on. … We still got zero on the board. You can't really say too much about it."
The Padres are off on Thursday before heading into the end of their nine-game homestand with a three-game series against San Francisco that starts on Friday.

The normal process of grieving can become complicated grief when your symptoms show no signs of improvement over time.
Grieving is a highly individual process for each person, and determining when normal grief becomes complicated grief can be difficult. There's currently no consensus among mental health experts about how much time must pass before complicated grief can be diagnosed.
Complicated grief may be considered when the intensity of grief has not decreased in the months following your loved one's death. Some mental health professionals diagnose complicated grief when grieving continues to be intense, persistent and debilitating beyond six months.
There are many similarities between complicated grief and major depression, but there are also distinct differences. In some cases, clinical depression and complicated grief occur together. Getting the correct diagnosis is essential for appropriate treatment.
Your mental health professional may consider you to have complicated grief based on these criteria. You experience:

COLUMBIA, SC Feb. 23, 2013 – The No. 72-ranked College of Charleston women's tennis team had a tough match this afternoon as they were swept 5-0 by No. 38 South Carolina at the USC Field House.
The Cougars (4-3) had hoped that the match would be held outdoors but were forced to play inside due to rain in Columbia.
The Gamecocks (6-3) posed a difficult challenge for CofC as they claim the No. 59 and No. 114-ranked singles players in the nation in Jaklin Alawi and Katerina Popova, respectively. Alawi topped senior Christin Newman (Greensboro, N.C.) in No. 1 singles and Popova defeated freshman Brooke McAmis (Greensboro, N.C.) in the No. 2 position.
Doubles was a similar story as USC also boasts the No. 57-ranked tandem of Jaklin Alawi and Dominika Kanakova. The two overcame the Cougar duo of freshman Katherine Schofield (Franklin, Tenn.) and senior Irene Viana (Paris, France) in the No. 1 slot.
"As evidenced by the score, South Carolina was the better team today," CofC Director of Tennis Angelo Anastopoulo said. "Coach Kevin Epley has his team moving in the right direction and I think they will do very well this year. We'll have to use this week of practice to try to get more of our players healthy as we prepare for a challenging spring break road trip against some quality teams."
CofC will next be in action a week from today when they face Stetson on Saturday, Mar. 2 at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center at noon (ET) in DeLand, Fla.

July 23, 2010/Eastern Michigan University
By Ward Mullens
YPSILANTI - Ruth Ann Armitage refers to her newest instrument as "a first-generation tricorder."
Star Trek fans will know that a tricorder is the instrument that Mr. Spock used. Non-geeks should know that a tricorder can analyze almost anything and provide information about its composition.
The "tricorder" Armitage refers to is a state-of-the-art Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART) mass spectrometer and, when it arrives on campus in August, Eastern Michigan University will be the only university in the state to have one.
"There are many other institutions in the state that would love to have one of these," said Armitage, a chemistry professor at Eastern Michigan.
Eastern Michigan is receiving the mass spectrometer thanks to a $200,000 National Science Foundation grant.
"The idea is that our students will have access to this instrument and that our approach is interdisciplinary and based on practical applications," Armitage said.
Armitage said the mass spectrometer will help her research in determining the make-up of paint samples from ancient cave drawings. By taking a sample of just rock and then analyzing a sample of rock with color on it, Armitage can narrow what organic substance was used to make the paint.
Several other EMU professors and their students will be using the mass spectrometer in their research as well, Armitage said. The instrument will provide many opportunities for collaboration across disciplines, particularly because it can give instant results.
Cory Emal, associate professor of chemistry, said the mass spectrometer will aid in his research to help find an effective agent that could help prevent strokes and type-2 diabetes.
"This new piece of equipment will be of enormous immediate value to myself and the seven undergraduate and graduate students in my research group, allowing us to make much more efficient use of our time and funding," Emal said. "We will be able to track the progress of and identify components of the chemical reactions we perform in a matter of minutes and in a non-destructive fashion; the techniques we currently use are usually measured in hours, not minutes, and typically results in a loss of some of our material. In addition, the DART will allow us to obtain high-resolution mass spectra of our compounds in-house; we currently must contract with external labs for this critical service."
The mass spectrometer also will be used by John Texter at the Coatings Research Institute and by Gavin Edwards, Harriet Lindsay, Hedeel Evans, Steven Pernecky, and Deborah Heyl-Clegg and Gregg Wilmes, all professors of chemistry.
This type of mass spectrometer is already used by external agencies like the FBI and other forensic labs; the EMU instrument may help forge connections between the university and law enforcement agencies like Homeland Security and the Federal Drug Administration, and expand our ability to work with cultural heritage institutions like the DIA, Armitage said.
Armitage said scheduling the usage of the mass spectrometer may pose the largest challenge.
"This inspires really cool applications," Armitage said.

10 Ways to Prevent Your Resume From Looking like a Zombie
Does Your Resume Resemble a Zombie; 10 ways to Prevent This
By Bob McIntosh, Career Trainer
My son had been talking about being a soccer-player zombie for Halloween at least two months prior to this much-anticipated night. He explained he would paint his face white; outline his eyes with black; and, most importantly; apply fake blood to the sides of his mouth and dripping down from his eyes. The way he described it got me stoked for Halloween.
I shouldn't have been surprised when his friend from up the street showed up as a zombie. Nor should I have been surprised when our adult neighbor walked over dressed as, you guessed it, a zombie. Because she's pregnant, she had doll baby legs extruding from her large belly. I asked her what her husband was going to dress as, and she told me…a farmer zombie. Further, they dressed their one-year-old son as a zombie.
At least five zombie kids came to my door, and we were only one hour into a night of candy-crazed kids roaming the streets. I felt like I was in an episode of the
Walking Dead
What does this year's Halloween have to do with the
job search
? It brings to mind how employers feel about the slew of
they receive that lack originality. Like nearly every kid (and adult) I saw dressed as zombies, employers are getting resumes that don't speak to their needs; they are zombie résumés. Your resume is a zombie if it has the following characteristics:
1. A cookie cutter resume.
Written and done, is how some feel about their resume. No thought about what employers need, therefore no mention of the skills and experience highlighting those needs.
2. Failure to capitalize on your accomplishments.
Quantified accomplishments are what immediately grab employers' attention at first glance. Duty-based resumes don't separate you from many other candidates.
3. Contact information that lacks your LinkedIn URL.
David Perry and Kevin Donlin, Co-Creators of
The Guerrilla Job Search System
, write, "If you're not on
and looking good, you don't exist to most employers." You have a zombie resume if you're not on LinkedIn and don't proudly display it in your contact information.
4. No branding headline.
The best way to say who you are and what your areas of strength are is by having a headline that sets you apart from the other applicants. It's where you first state keywords and phrases. Zombie resumes fail to make use of this valuable real estate.
A say-nothing Performance Profile.
Zombie resumes lack grabbing statements like,
Result-driven Project Manager with 20 years of experience in Manufacturing. Instead, Project Manager who leads teams producing software that generate sales exceeding $3M in competitive manufacturing markets
, would be more enticing to the employer.
6. The Performance Profile isn't prioritized.
A zombie resume fails to demonstrate your knowledge of what's important to the employer, based on the job description. Your Profile should state your qualifications in order of the employer's requirements, thus making her job of finding them very easy.
Prioritize your statements
7. No core competency section.
A resume is not complete unless it has a
Core Competency
section that lists the skills required for a position, plus additional ones that can add to a person's candidacy. Additionally, this section contributes to the keyword count that elevates the résumé to the must-read pile, based on what the applicant tracking system (ATS) finds.
8. The Work History lacks relevant accomplishments.
Perhaps the most important aspect of a résumé is the Work History, but what makes it escape Zombie status is powerful
accomplishment statements
. Accomplishments that describe how you have contributed to the growth of an organization/company. Increased revenue, improved production, reduced costs, saved time are but a few accomplishments you should highlight.
9. There's no Training Section.
If you were fortunate enough to receive training or took advantage of professional development, you should have a section for training. A zombie resume contains no Training section and screams to employers that, "I have not taken advantage of bettering myself and keeping up with technologies."
10. The Education Section is incomplete and includes dates.
All to often I have seen resumes that skimp on the Education section. Whether you earned a degree 5 years ago or 20, this section informs the employer that you started and completed something. Don't be shy about writing that you made the Dean's list four years running, something you accomplished through dedication and hard work.
Zombies roamed my neighborhood on Halloween walking lethargically, extending their hands for candy, just as many resumes lack the imagination and authenticity required to earn a place at an
. Don't submit a zombie resume. Rather think about the ten important components of your résumé and how to make them strong. Who knows what next year's Halloween will bring?

Nick Frank likes to summarize his approach to photography with one phrase: "Reduce to the max."
Get to the point. Remove all distractions. It's a framework that lends itself well to Frank's series on subway stations in Munich, Germany, where he lives.
"Pictures are often overloaded with information so what I'm doing is trying to flatten the image until you see the essence of the main subject," he says.
The Munich subway, or U-Bahn, began running in 1971 right before the 1972 Olympics and is known for the bright color schemes and artistic designs that line many of the subway's 100 stations. In a 1997 book by Christoph Hackelsberger, a member of the city's subway planning council is quoted as saying that transit stations should "radiate a positive mood" and purposefully "help make a passenger's wait more pleasant."
Many of the stations are designed by well-known German architects and the subways themselves are used by hundreds of millions of people each year.
To avoid the crowds and get the kind of clean, empty shots that make up the series, Frank says he has to show up between 5:30 and 6 a.m. on a Sunday morning because that's the only time the subways aren't packed. Even then, he says he only has about an hour before things get busy.
Frank is also not shy about using Photoshop to clean things up even further. The gist of the photo is still present, but he's not afraid to remove trash from the floors or cut a stray person from the background, all with the end goal of trying to create the kind of singular focus that makes his photos pop.
"My photos are not about reality," he says. "It's about what I'm seeing."
He says he was originally drawn to subways not only because many of them are architecturally interesting but also because they tend to be places of creativity. Like many people who ride the trains to work, Frank says he does some of his best thinking on his morning and afternoon commute.
"You usually use the time in the subway to reflect on your day," he says. "It's not about talking to other people, it's all about yourself. Most of my advertising ideas are developed in the subway."
He hopes his photos, with their sharp lines, symmetry and clear focus, help people call up a similar visceral experience to the one they have while on the trains.
"I want to transport you back," he says.
Frank is currently running an Indiegogo campaing to fund more subway shoots around the globe so please visit his site for more informationGo Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

The power of the online bicycling community strikes again.
On Sunday, we met Stephanie and Kevin of Fortworthology for a delicious dinner in Greektown. They were in Chicago for a stop-over during a vacation trip from Fort Worth to Portland and back via Amtrak. What a cool way to travel! The train ride is four days each way, with the convenience of a sleeping car.
Fortworthology is a site dedicated to encouraging and chronicling smart urban growth in Fort Worth, Texas. Things are looking up for the city after a long history of suburban sprawl – in February the Fort Worth City Council unanimously approved a comprehensive bike plan.
In addition to writing the blog, Kevin also does awesome photography. We spent a while geeking over his iPhone and its polaroid and lomography photo apps (iPhoneography pics here). Also, their iPads, which I now want desperately.
Meeting like-minded people from another part of the country was wonderful. Their optimism and commitment to improving their hometown is inspiring. The whole country is really catching on to bicycling as a means of transportation. With the power of the internet, we can now connect with others for support and information-sharing, which adds incredible momentum to the movement.
{I also enjoyed meeting reader Jeffrey at Copenhagen Cyclery! Hi – you're so sweet!}

CHICAGO, Ill. (May 21, 2013) - The Chicago Fire Soccer Club announced Tuesday that the club will begin the journey for its fifth Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup trophy when they travel to take on the Charlotte Eagles (USL-PRO) on Wednesday, May 29 at 6:00 p.m. CT at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, S.C. The match will be available via a live webcast on www.Chicago-Fire.com.
The Eagles defeated PDL side Seattle Sounders at Queens University of Charlotte Sports Complex in Charlotte, N.C. Tuesday evening.
Recognized as U.S. Soccer's National Championship, the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is an annual competition open to all amateur and professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. In 1999, the competition was renamed to honor long-time soccer pioneer Lamar Hunt.
Since 1998 the Fire have compiled an impressive 29-11-4 record in Open Cup play, reaching the semifinal round eight out of 15 times and the final six times. The Fire have previously hoisted the coveted Dewar Trophy four times, in 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2006. The 2006 title marked the ninth time a team from Chicago won the Open Cup and made the Fire one of six teams to capture the crown at least four times in the tournament's 99-year-long history.
The 100th edition of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup features a field of 68 teams, the largest field in the modern era (1995-present). Another significant change for 2013 is the process for determining the site for the Open Cup tournament semifinals and final. In past years, the sites for the final three matches of the tournament had been determined through a sealed-bid process, but this year the hosts of those games will be determined by a coin flip. Home teams throughout the entire tournament will be determined by random selection.

Our Thoughts
Bell Star Helmets come with a standard clear faceshield but upgrades are also available such as Snow Shield Kits, Transitions SOLFX Shield, Race Click Release Shield and also in Other Faceshield Colors as you desire to change your look.
The Bell Star is manufactured in the U.S.A. and the sizing seems to run true to most other brands so its a safe bet to order the size you would normally get.
And there is no worries when you need to clean up the bugs on your helmet. How many bugs you have depends on your speed!! This helmet stays fairly clean but when the bugs build up, a little squirt with cleaner and a quick wipe from a micro fiber towel makes it look as good as new.
