...great little shooter, one I'd rank up with the Sonys and Canons for consistency, speed and color reproduction. Unlike other cameras in this reasonably affordable range, it has wonderful flash coordination: where other cameras tend to drench people's faces with a bleaching blaze, the S1 seems to be more tame, or more responsive to the demands of the shot...
This is the toughest part of the race for Rusch. Men tend to start out strong and finish weak; female racers, by contrast, gain momentum. "The first day is survival for me because everyone is so amped and they go out fast," says Rusch of the five-man, one-woman team she leads. "I'm just hanging on so I don't fall back." After just two hours, she has used up most of her glycogen--a form of energy derived from sugar and stored in muscles and certain organs--and her body starts running on fat and whatever calories...
Some injuries tend to cluster at different ages. Doctors report seeing a lot of heel problems in kids 9 to 12 years old, elbow problems in kids 10 to 12 and knee injuries in kids 12 to 14. Gender also seems to play a role. Girls, for reasons that are not clear, are more likely than boys to tear their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)--a tough ribbon of tissue that holds the knee together. "Twenty years ago, it was rare for someone under age 15 to have ACL surgery," says Dr. Daniel Green, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital...
...Rusch, this is the sweet spot of the ordeal, the day she falls into the rhythm of the race and no longer feels as if she is playing catch-up with her teammates. "As the race gets longer, women tend to do better and better," she says. "I think that has a lot to do with body fat, since women, even athletic and fit women, have more stores to pull from. Guys have about 6% body fat, while women will carry about 12%." The calculus of human exertion, however, is working against all the contestants. Adventure racers typically burn...
...greater representation in the Patriarchate's hierarchy. There are some 120,000 Greek Orthodox Palestinians, the largest Christian group in the Holy Land, but only one of the 18-member Holy Synod is an Arab. Local members want control of the Church so that one of their own can tend to the community's spiritual needs, but also to prevent what they see as the sale of their patrimony to the Israeli enemy. "The Greek Orthodox Church is led by foreigners," says Dimitri Diliani, a Palestinian Orthodox Christian leading the campaign against Eirinaios. "They make personal profit...
