Turing as a runner
This is adapted from an article Road breaker by P Butcher in the magazine Runner's World (September, 1999), 56-57.
Alan Turing ran a little while he was at Sherbourne school, usually when football was cancelled because of bad weather. He did not run while an undergraduate at Cambridge, preferring to row, but once he had won his fellowship to King's College he began to run more seriously, his frequent route being from Cambridge to Ely and back, a distance of around 50 km. He did a little running while at Bletchley but only when he moved to the National Physical Laboratory did he take up running more seriously. J F Harding was the secretary of Walton Athletic Club at this time and he recalls first meeting Turing out on a run:-
We heard him rather than saw him. He made a terrible grunting noise when he was running, but before we could say anything to him, he was past us like a shot out of a gun. A couple of nights later, we kept up with him long enough for me to ask him who he ran for. When he said nobody, we invited him to join Walton. He did and immediately became our best runner.Turing came fifth in the AAA marathon which was used as a qualifying event for the 1949 Olympic games. His time was 2 hours 46.03 minutes which by modern marathon times does not look so great but was good at that time. To put it in perspective, the winning Olympic time was only 10 minutes better at the 1948 Olympics. A leg injury put an end to further serious running by Turing. However, even after he moved to Manchester he still occasionally represented Walton in events. The last event he ran for the club was in April 1950 when he was on the Walton relay team in the London to Brighton race. Also a member of the same Walton team was Chris Chataway, who a few years later went on to help Roger Bannister break the four minute mile.
Looking back, he was the typical absent-minded professor. He looked different to the rest of the lads; he was rather untidily dressed, good quality clothes mind, but no creases in them; he used a tie to hold his trousers up; if he wore a necktie, it was never knotted properly; and he had hair that just stuck up at the back. He was very popular with the boys, but he wasn't one of them. He was a strange character, a very reserved sort, but he mixed in with everyone quite well: he was even a member of our committee.
We had no idea what he did, and what a great man he was. We didn't realise it until all the Enigma business came out. We didn't even know where he worked until he asked us if Walton would have a match with the NPL. It was the first time I'd been in the grounds. Another time, we went on our first ever foreign trip to Nijmegen in Holland he couldn't come, but he gave me five pounds, which was a lot of money in those days, and said "Buy the boys a drink for me".
I asked him one day why he punished himself so much in training. He told me "I have such a stressful job that the only way I can get it out of my mind is by running hard; its the only way I can get some release."

"Bully" documentary will get PG-13 rating in Colorado
"Bully" wins fight. Okay, that doesn't sound quite right but it's actually good news.
Thursday, the Motion Pictures Association of America and its rating arm, the Classification and Ratings Association, changed its position on an R rating for Lee Hirsch's documentary, which spotlights five victims of bullying and their families.
The film, which opened March 30 in a few markets, was released unrated by the Weinstein Company, the indie distributor.
Despite vociferous hew and cry from child advocates, celebs and politicians, as well as former bullied teenager Katy Butler's 500,000-plus petition, "Bully" opened unrated in a number of cities on March 30. This allowed theaters to treat it as a R-rated film. Or, as in the case of the Cinemark chain, not show the movie at all.
The PG-13 prints will be released into 55 new markets, including Denver, April 13. The revised rating should also enable schools to show the movie to the very demographic represented in the film.
This fresh rating, however, shouldn't be used by adults as permission to skip the film. Like "The Hunger Games," the doc — which Mad Moviegoer will review next Friday — is made better by talking about it. And, of course, listening to kids talk about it.
While the movie's distributor, the Weinstein Company, removed three F-bombs from the new print, it did not re-edit a jarring and essential scene of Alex Libby being assaulted (let's call it what it is) on a school bus.
"I feel completely vindicated with this resolution," said Hirsch in a statement from the Weinstein Co. "While I retain my belief that PG-13 has always been the appropriate rating for this film, as reinforced by Canada's rating of a PG, we have today scored a victory from the MPAA. The support and guidance we have received throughout this process has been incredible, from the more than half a million people who signed Katy Butler's petition, to members of Congress, Governor Mike Huckabee and the many celebrities and others who raised their voices to express deeply felt support for a film that can inspire millions.
"The scene that mattered remains untouched and intact, which is a true sign that we have won this battle. With an array of great partners, a fabulous educator's guide and extensive online tools, we can now bring this film unhindered, to youth and adults across our country."

Late last night, her highness Beyoncé shocked the Internet by dropping an entire full-length album complete with videos for every single song. It was a total surprise and a brilliant marketing ploy. Instead of spending months pulling cheesy stunts in an effort to build buzz, Beyoncé recognized what she had all along: our complete, unwavering attention and undying dedication to her dazzling artistry. Or something.
Also, the whole thing was so huge it crashed iTunes.
Here are some of our favorite Twitter reactions to the big news.

Christmas is just four days away now and I'm wondering how are you all doing with the No Plastic Holiday Challenge?
I've been doing pretty good myself. I haven't been able to avoid plastic completely (and I didn't expect to), but this challenge has made me much more aware of just how much plastic is out there. I almost hyperventilated walking through Target's toy department the other day! Seriously! Ugh.
I managed to score some handmade wooden toys for the kids at a local craft show that I'm very pleased with. I also made them felt pizzas and they are getting lots of books, in addition to a wooden play kitchen from Costco, and a few things I picked up at the thrift store. I'm also dyeing some play silks that I will use to wrap their presents and they will, of course, double as toys. Play silks are awesome for imaginative play.
I can't discuss anybody else's presents here since they all can read, but (gulp) some plastic is involved.
So how about you? What worked? What didn't? Do you have any plastic-avoiding tips to share?

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West: In A Total Show-Mance
Kim and Kanye were inseparable while in NYC for Scott Disick's restaurant opening but a top body expert tells us that they're faking it for the reality TV cameras!
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are totally NOT in love according to Dr. Lillian Glass. HollywoodLife.com caught up with the top body language expert after Kim and Kanye public displayed their love in NYC at Scott Disick's restaurant opening, and she tells us that they're turning up the heat for the E! cameras!
"No matter what anyone says the body doesn't lie," Dr. Glass tells us. "Kanye and Kim may be holding hands and may be all smiles for the camera but the truth is they are looking in different directions which means they are not like minded. There is too much physical space between them. When people are truly into one another you don't know where one ends and the other begins."
Even though the two of them are smiling and holding hands Dr. Glass says there's no chemistry between them.
"There is a stiffness in Kim's body language," Dr. Glass the author of Toxic People and Toxic Men adds. "You don't feel the chemistry between the two of them. No matter how mand KW earring sets she wears we are not feeling it because neither are they. While there may be a lot of lust going on behind closed doors, the emotional and mental connection required in a deep relationship seems to be lacking in my view."
Do you think Kimye are faking it for the sake of reality TV and fame?

Family of victim in Denny's choking case files lawsuit
The family of a man who died three days after a May 28 altercation in the parking lot of a Denny's restaurant in Crosby has filed a lawsuit against a Harris County sheriff's deputy and her husband, both of whom face murder charges in the death.
The family of 24-year-old John Hernandez on Monday filed the civil rights suit against 41-year-old Terry Thompson, who has been charged with murder, and Deputy Chauna Thompson, 45, who was charged as an accessory to murder, according to an email from Randall Kallinen, an attorney for the Hernandez family.
MORE ON HERNANDEZ: Homicide ruled in man's death after fight with husband of deputy outside Denny's
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are Hernandez's parents, his wife and their daughter.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez has launched an internal affairs investigation of eight other deputies for their handling of the choking death of Hernandez.
The altercation began after Terry Thompson pulled up at the restaurant with his children and saw Hernandez urinating in public, the sheriff said.
Hernandez died three days after the altercation from strangulation and chest compressions, Harris County medical examiners later ruled.
DEADLY ENCOUNTER: Video surfaces in fatal altercation at Denny's
In a video released by criminal offense attorney Jack Carroll, Hernandez spent his last conscious moments kicking, gasping and grunting as he tried to free himself from a choke hold performed by Terry Thompson in the restaurant parking lot.
Scot Courtney, a defense attorney representing Terry Thompson, has said Hernandez initiated the late-night altercation by throwing, and landing, the first punch. He said Thompson did not intend to kill the man.
Prosecutors said Chauna Thompson was charged under the law of parties, a state law that allows every person who is involved in an intentional crime to be charged with the same offense.
Further details of the lawsuit will be released at a press conference scheduled for Tuesday morning.

National 'Back to Church Sunday' 2013
Any week can be the week you go back to church. However, this Sunday, September 15th is the "official" day for regular attendees to invite someone "back to church", and for people searching for a church home to make this the week they finally check out that local church they've been meaning to swing by.
Here's a couple videos we showed at my church this past Sunday. The first one really strikes a cord with me, and the second one will probably give you an unexpected chuckle.

The liberal coalition may not be as liberal as you'd expect. According to the most recent "Battleground Poll" from the George Washington University and Politico, there are some surprisingly large reservoirs of conservatism among many voter groups typically viewed as card-carrying members of the liberal voting bloc.
In some cases, a majority of these voters actually describe themselves as conservative. And in many ways they have begun to turn on the president's relentlessly liberal agenda. Clearly, much more ideological turbulence is to be found these days on the left than on the right.
#ad#Here are some examples, drawn from the response to the question asking voters to categorize themselves according to their ideology:
Among the takeaways are:
‐While conservatives outnumber liberals two to one (63 percent to 32 percent) in congressional districts controlled by the GOP, Democratic lawmakers represent districts with a much more balanced ideological breakdown – 46 percent conservative to 49 percent liberal. This suggests that more Democratic lawmakers may need to watch their backs when they vote a hard-left line than the other way around. And when it comes to Obama's handling of such crucial issues as jobs, federal spending, and the economy, Democratic-controlled districts are not exactly rife with Obama mania. Fully 46 percent disapprove of his handling of the jobs issue, half disapprove of his economic policies, and 53 percent give a big thumbs down on his spending habits.
‐Similarly, union households, 60 percent of which swooned for Obama in 2008, split right down the middle ideologically. This must be an inconvenient truth, to say the least, for the increasingly radical leftist leadership of the modern labor movement. And it's all the more reason for conservatives to reinvigorate efforts to liberate union members from being required to pay dues against their will.
‐The findings on Hispanics are especially interesting. Obama, it is often noted, won two-thirds of Hispanic votes in 2008. But ideologically, this group is up for grabs — 51 percent are conservative and 49 percent liberal. And the gender gap here is the reverse of the typical dynamic. Usually, women lean more to the liberal side than do men. For example, women who are white, or under age 45, or politically independent tend to be more liberal than their male counterparts. Hispanic women, though, are more likely to be conservative (54 percent) than are Hispanic men (49 percent). The internal data in the Battleground poll reinforce the sense that Hispanics should be very receptive to conservative messages, especially those relating to the economy, jobs, and spending. Hispanic men, in particular, should be a target audience for our message of limited government and pro-growth economic policies — 87 percent of them list pocketbook issues as their primary concern.
‐Urban dwellers are also nearly as conservative (45 percent) as liberal (47 percent). Considering that 63 percent of them cast their ballots for Obama in 2008, this suggests either that a quiet ideological realignment is underway in our cities, or that Obama waltzed into the Oval Office with the support of millions of urban conservatives. Here, too, we find precious few happy campers. The majority is disappointed with the president's handling of spending and the economy, and a plurality with his performance on the jobs issue.
#page#‐Finally, the ideological profile of those who are only marginally, or not at all, religious will raise a few eyebrows. One of the most pronounced political divides in recent elections has been among those who do or do not attend religious services. In 2008, for example, John McCain secured 55 percent of the vote from those who attend religious services at least weekly — nearly 10 percentage points higher than his share of the total vote. Candidate Obama, however, won the affections of more than 60 percent of those who never or rarely attend services. Who would have thought, then, that barely three years later a comfortable majority (53 percent) of infrequent church-goers identify as conservative, or that the religiously inactive are only marginally more liberal (48 percent) than not (45 percent)? Nonreligious Americans in particular are angst-ridden over the sour economy. Over half (55 percent) reject Obama's handling of the economy, and 60 percent feel he has both spent too much and failed to deliver on the jobs front.
#ad#The lesson here is that the conservative brand is perfectly acceptable in many corners of the coalition that comprises blue America. That may explain why strategists on the left feel it is so important to toss what Ross Perot famously described as "monkey dust" into the air to cloud debates on so many important policy issues and dissuade these voters from entertaining and ultimately embracing conservative solutions. It also explains why leftist politicians use conservative rhetoric to sell their wares: It not only works among middle-of-the-road voters, it can be effective within their own political base.
The debates that threaten to decouple these voters from the liberal political machine tend to involve questions of fairness, the best routes out of poverty, and how best to enable ordinary Americans to achieve the American Dream. These include policies that offer educational options to children in low-income families, require welfare recipients to work and act responsibly in exchange for benefits, and end discriminatory mandates that require employers and schools to prefer some racial groups over others.
These voters likely are turned off when government bureaucrats tilt the playing field in favor of the politically connected in energy or tax policy. Why, after all, should they pay more for the energy they consume just because government know-it-alls prefer ethanol, solar, and wind energy over nuclear, coal, natural gas, and oil? And how many of them look askance at Obama's class-warfare rhetoric when they aspire to one day to be millionaires and even billionaires? It is not hard to imagine that, in today's unforgiving economic climate, the conservative gene lurking within these voters may prove quite receptive to the case for free markets and free citizens, and if properly nurtured, may begin to emerge in voting behavior that surprises pundits on Election Day.
This is not to say that inner-city Detroit will be a welcoming venue for a CPAC convention any time soon. But because the conservative command of the ideological high ground extends to so many categories of non-traditional conservative voters, we need to develop more effective ways to communicate our policy ideas that appeal to their conservative instincts.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog posts for a special message from TOCHI's Editor-in-Chief, Ken Hinckley, who shares with us some breaking news…
And yes—thank you, because indeed a very special moment in the history of the TOCHI journal has arrived, and herein we unveil the inaugural…
ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction
Best Paper Award
— 2016 —
So sit back, grab some popcorn (and perhaps a beverage of your choosing), and enjoy the festivities.
With the Full Red Carpet Treatment. Of course, on such a celebratory occasion, we must roll out a luxuriant red promenade.
For a fleeting moment, we even considered a military parade for this inaugural occasion. But budgets being what they are, the best we could afford turned out to be a brigade of "Reviewer 2's" armed with sharp red pens. To be brutally honest we feared this would not go over well, to say the least, and so all such plans were scrapped forthwith.
And with the reality of the publishing industry (as of early 2017) being what it is, our "red" carpet, I am afraid, must be printed solely in black and white.
Furthermore, rather than a plush walkway, the substrate upon which we must strut our stuff is much more akin to recycled newsprint.
But what a venue it is!
Okay, enough fun for now.
So let me set the stage for the award, and in so doing, switch to what my wife calls, my serious voice…
Because it takes incredibly hard work to get into TOCHI, and many notable HCI researchers have published their work in our pages. Even more important, I think, is the wave of up-and-comers in the field who are constantly breaking new ground. We are honored to have played a small role in building their careers, and publication credentials, as well.
TOCHI plays a vital role in the HCI community because it offers a forum for results that sprawl beyond the tidy boxes, tied up with neat satin bows, that can sometimes come to dominate typical conference papers. I've certainly written my fair share of those (only without the neatness, and often with some loose ends in those bows as well…). And of course there is nothing wrong with the "typical" conference-paper type of contribution, but by the same token it's really important that the field has venues for results that are "out of the box" in a sense—and indeed, that span multiple boxes in the form of cross-discipline work, as well.
In that regard, the article we've selected for our 2016 Best Paper award is a great representative of the field. It reports on an interdisciplinary effort that advances the needs of a particular user community, but in so doing pushes on boundaries of interaction design and computer science as well. In order to build the system the authors embarked upon, the research had to upend some conventional wisdom regarding image navigation and innovate new interaction techniques along the way.
So (drum roll please), without further ado…
The recipient of the 2016 TOCHI Best Paper Award is:

For this fine accomplishment, each of the authors will receive a physical manifestation of the award, which looks something like the following:
And just to pique your interest in this fine work just a bit further, the following abstract characterizes the work in the authors' own words:
This article describes the design and evaluation of two generations of an interface for navigating datasets of gigapixel images that pathologists use to diagnose cancer.
The interface design is innovative because users panned with an overview:detail view scale difference that was up to 57 times larger than established guidelines, and 1 million pixel "thumbnail" overviews that leveraged the real estate of high-resolution workstation displays.
The research involved experts performing real work (pathologists diagnosing cancer), using datasets that were up to 3,150 times larger than those used in previous studies that involved navigating images. The evaluation provides evidence about the effectiveness of the interfaces and characterizes how experts navigate gigapixel images when performing real work. Similar interfaces could be adopted in applications that use other types of high-resolution images (e.g., remote sensing or high-throughput microscopy).
Check it out. You'll be glad you did. By the time you read this, the article should be available in the ACM Digital Library for open-access—sporting a spiffy new award badge no less—at:

Todd Simon Hockey
Todd Simon had a Junior and professional hockey career spanning two decades, spent in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. Between four seasons in the OHL Jr 'A' with the Niagara Falls Thunder and 16 seasons professional (NHL, AHL, IHL and Europe), he played over 1,100 games; his career stats in junior and pro are impressive: 431 goals and 902 assists regular season, 48 goals and 86 assists in 129 games. An average of a point a game or more during his entire career.


text:
Brett Price and Chad Isaly had just hit consecutive 3-pointers to give Hannibal River a 10-point lead just a little more than 2 minutes into the third quarter.
On the wrong side of the game's first double-digit spread, Youngstown Christian coach Dolph Carroll asked for a time out to talk to his team. Or, as anyone at the Canton Memorial Field House could attest to, scream at his team.
Whatever Carroll said worked to perfection in Tuesday night's 60-49 victory in the Division IV regional semifinal. The Eagles (16-8) outscored River 16-3 the rest of the quarter and 35-14 the rest of the game. Youngstown Christian's victory sent it to Friday night's regional final against Cleveland Villa Angela-St. Joseph. The Vikings disposed of Windham, 93-56, in last night's second game. It is the Eagles' second trip to the regional final in the past four years.
So what words of wisdom did Youngstown Christian's coach have that inspired such huge escalation in play?
"Knowing me, I probably just yelled a lot," Carroll said. "I love these kids but sometimes they're a little whacky.
"We had to defend. There was no great coaching. Very little coaching is done at this stage of the game."
Junior post Tymere Dubose remembered the time out well.
"He said we had to defend and rebound," Dubose said. "We had to keep playing hard and stop giving up easy buckets."
Added point guard Daylen Williams: "He said we had to rebound. We had to get after it."
Defense and rebounding is not a novel idea in basketball. Perhaps screaming was the best way to get the point across.
The Eagles' defense took over the game after falling behind by 10. It forced 13 turnovers the rest of the game while the Pilots had committed just five up until that point.
River (19-8) led 15-14 after a quarter despite six rebounds (five offensive) by DuBose. Senior center Jordan Indermuhle had three of his five blocked shots for the Pilots. Price had seven second-quarter points as River reached intermission with a 29-23 lead.
In the first two quarters it was already evident that Youngstown Christian's superior defensive quickness was giving the Pilots problems. Because of the Eagles' full-court press and traps, it often took River eight or nine seconds before crossing midcourt. But the Pilots were not turning the ball over and were effective in a half-court offense.
The second half was entirely different. River could not handle the Eagles' press and turnovers often resulted in easy baskets.
"It takes us a little time," Carroll said. "We hadn't seen them play a lot. A lot of us just weren't getting back on the weak side."
Dubose led the winners with 22 points and 11 rebounds while Nick Gonda added 14 points. Williams had a great all-around game, finishing with eight points, six rebounds, six assists and a career-high seven steals.
"I told him it's been his (Williams) team since Day One," Carroll said. "He's been here four years and has been trying hard to become a great point guard."
Rice led coach Mark Romick's team with 21 points, nine rebounds and three assists. Cody Caldwell chipped in 14 points in a losing effort.

Hypnotherapy can help you overcome jealousy problems
Jealousy problems can cause many problems for us and those in our lives. Hypnotherapy will help you to overcome and change the way you think. Trust, or the lack of trust, can be intimately involved with jealousy issues, But at the root of Jealousy, is about how we feel about ourselves. Jealousy is how bad it makes us feel about ourselves if we feel that our partner likes the look of someone or finds them attractive, possibly even more attractive than us. Therefore overcoming jealousy must start with changing how we feel about ourselves.
Hypnotherapy is incredibly powerful in doing this, at Empowerment Hypnotherapy based in Leicester Leicestershire, I offer a free consultation, where you can make an appointment and find out more about how Hypnotherapy can help you overcome jealousy quickly.
What is Jealousy?
Jealousy is generally accepted as a feeling we have when we believe a relationship that is very important to us is under threat. Jealousy is actually anger. Jealousy generally starts as a doubt, moves on to a feeling of deep hurt and then to anger. This can be very destructive to a relationship and results in putting restrictions on to partners, as to where they can go, what they can look at and who they can speak to etc., this can lead to us getting what we fear our partner leaving us, usually as we have driven them away with our questions and doubts and anger.
Very often the doubts that start the feelings of jealousy come from a feeling of inadequacy about ourselves. Unfortunately, those feelings of inadequacy, doubt and hurt then lead to anger and arguments which make us feel pretty bad about ourselves, resulting in us feeling even more inadequate. This causes a cycle to develop more inadequacy, doubts, hurt, and anger, making us feel more jealous and more inadequate. We then become full of negative thoughts about not only the relationship but also about ourselves.
Overcoming jealousy with hypnotherapy In Leicester
Through hypnotherapy, we can learn how to relax and therefore feel more relaxed in difficult situations and learn techniques and strategies to enable you to remain in control.
While you are in the lovely relaxed state of hypnosis you can learn to feel better about ourselves improving your self-esteem. This makes you feel more positive and feel you can overcome the problem.
Feeling positive, relaxed and better about ourselves means you act in a more positive way with the absence of the feelings inadequacy hurt and anger. Feeling positive will makes you act and feel in a more positive way which makes leads to feeling good in any situations.

BEIJING, April 18 (UPI) -- The Chinese government promised Wednesday, through an editorial in the official news agency, that a British businessman's death will be thoroughly investigated.
The Xinhua editorial was published soon after Li Changchung, a Chinese official, met in London with British Prime Minister David Cameron and Foreign Minister William Hague, CNN reported. Hague said in a statement the British government wants a complete investigation that "is free from political interference."
Neil Heywood, 41, was found dead in a hotel room in Chongqing in November. The death was initially believed to have been from alcohol poisoning but has since been linked to Bo Xilai, the former Communist Party chief in Chongqing.
Bo's wife was arrested last week on suspicion of homicide, and Bo was suspended from the party's central committee.
Wang Lijun, Chongqing's former police chief, tried to get asylum in a U.S. consulate in February and was then detained by state security police, the report said.
"Based on the facts made public so far, the Wang Lijun incident is a serious political event that has created an adverse influence both at home and abroad, the death of Neil Heywood is a serious criminal case involving the kin and aides of a Party and state leader, and Bo has seriously violated Party discipline," Xinhua said.
The central committee has made "a resolute decision to thoroughly investigate related events and release information in a timely manner," the agency also said.

New Zealand's mountains come alive with skiers and snowboarders in winter, and the crisp days are perfect for walking, cycling and soaking in hot pools.
Get inspired with our top picks for winter destinations and experiences.
While our winter months do bring cooler weather and rain to parts of the country, many locations only experience a mild winter. High temperatures range from between 10 to 16 degrees Celsius (50 – 61F), but our 'winterless North' hardly experiences colder days at all. In the South Island, frosts and heavy snowfall is common – ski season is world-class.
The ski areas are in full swing, and the mountains of the Central Plateau, Canterbury and Central Otago are blanketed with fresh snow. Snow enthusiasts should make a point of trying several different ski fields in Queenstown and Wanaka, there are four world-class ski fields within an hour and a half of each other. For a thrill, try heli-skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing or sledging.
In Auckland, temperatures are mild and sunny days are common. It's the perfect time of year to hike up Rangitoto – chances are you'll have the dormant volcano all to yourself.
New Zealand is home to some impressive, naturally heated hot pools. There's nothing like soaking weary bodies at the end of a long day skiing or exploring.
Winter is a great time to explore the historic gold mining and Kauri logging towns of the Coromandel – you'll feel like you've stepped back in time.
In the Hawke's Bay, the cooler months are a time for delicious citrus fruits and hearty vegetables. Head to the Havelock North farmer's market to make the most of locally grown, fresh produce.
Between June and July the Matariki festival is held throughout New Zealand. Matariki has always been an important time in the Māori calendar – strongly connected to the seasons, Matariki is a celebration of the upcoming year.

International Journal hosting 'Closer Look into North Korea'
The Brandeis International Journal will host "A Closer Look into North Korea: An Expert Panel Discussion" on Wednesday, April 10, from 3 to 5 p.m. in Rapaporte Treasure Hall. The event is provided in collaboration with the Korean Economic Institute of America.
Friedrich Lohr, former German ambassador to North Korea; Dr. Sue Mi Terry, senior research scholar at Columbia University Weatherhead East Asian Institute; and Dr. Nicholas Hamisevicz, director of Research and Academic Affairs at the Korean Institute of America will be the guest speakers.
The experts will speak until 4:30 p.m., followed by a 30-minute question and answer section.
The Brandeis International Journal biannually publishes a magazine of undergraduate writing on international affairs. Each edition has a theme section that focuses on a particularly relevant issue or country.
This semester, the journal had already elected to feature North Korea before recent events that focused international attention on the country.
"With the most recent nuclear test in February, and very scary rhetoric coming out of North Korea, it's a very suspenseful time right now," says Arielle Shorr '13. "It's a good time to understand what's really going on."
Last semester, the theme section focused on the African Union and last spring's focused on China.

We'll print you a beautiful art piece to enjoy for many years to come. Just enter the code 3CG103150 at check out.
A giclée(zhee-CLAY) is an individually produced, high-resolution, high-fidelity reproduction done on a special large format printer. Giclée are produced from digital images or scans of existing artwork. Also, since many artists now produce only digital art, there is no "original" that can be hung on a wall. Giclée solve that problem, while creating a whole new vibrant medium for art.
Generation Maps produces your favorite photograph on high-grade artist canvas to create the texture and feel of an oil painting. Giclée are perfect for family history photos because the texture fools the eye and softens a grainy antique picture. They are a truly personalized work of art.
Generation Maps offers three options for ordering and displaying your canvas giclée.
First, you can order the canvas alone, sent to you rolled up in a tube. This option is great if you are planning to do special framing yourself or if you have another option in mind for display. Sizes range from 8×8 inches to 36×48 inches, and come in popular contemporary looking squares or traditional rectangles."

Faced with natural concerns associated with the wild horse population on Assateague Island, federal officials opted for the logical alternative. Going with what is essentially a slightly more aggressive version of the status quo was a wise decision.
The millions who visit Assateague Island each year find the wild horses to be quite charming and there is no disputing they are a popular draw for many. It's a common sight to see ponies walking along the beach or paths in concert with people. In some cases, horses lie directly along with beach-goers relaxing by the ocean. Unfortuantely, as Assateague Island National Seashore Acting Superintendent Carl Zimmerman put it in his "Development of Alternatives for Managing the Feral Horses of Assateague Island National Seashore" statement, "the horses have thrived too well at a cost to native species and natural processes, and have even altered the island itself."
Consequently, federal officials have been trying to determine proper ways to strike a balance between "keeping the Assateague horses healthy and free-roaming while protecting the unique natural environment of their island home," Zimmerman wrote.
With the goal continuing to be a thinning of the current herd, this week island officials announced the only alternative that was reasonable has been selected. Options considered were no action, which would allow the population of approximately 130 horses to continue as is without any changes in the contraception process used presently; capture and removal of 15 to 30 horses and continued use of contraceptive on remaining herd; an intensive contraceptive program aimed at reducing the herd to 80 to 100 within five to eight years; and intensive contraceptive program with periodic removals and additions to manage population health.
The chosen course is essentially to intensive the current contraception program for those horses on Maryland and to let the natural cycle of life continue. While there is nothing to prevent federal officials from removing a couple dozen horses to reach the target population, this is the appropriate decision.
Selling or simply displacing horses is just bad news and runs contrary to the entire natural park image. Assateague Island is a pristine place, subject to the whims of Mother Nature, and that's what makes it such a charming attraction. It's an escape from the commercialism of life and relies solely on the natural cycle of life.
Federal officials had a difficult balancing act here. On one hand, there was the popularity and charm associated with the wild horses and then there was the need to take some action to prevent the wild horses from continuing harm to the island's natural resources. The selected option, while it may take more time and does not have the immediate consequences of a removal of a portion of the herd, is the right call.

Sony's new glass-faced TX200V is a decidedly opulent stab at something we've been asking for around here: a waterproof camera that doesn't sacrifice optics and design. It's just that it does it at a pretty painful price point.
The TX200V has Sony's new 18.2MP Exmor R CMOS sensor, which has the hugest resolution in any point and shoot. It's also got a new processor, and has the superfast 0.1 -second autofocus of the TX55, and lowered low-light autofocus to 0.2 seconds. It shoots Full HD 1080/60p video, has 5x (35mm) optical zoom, a range of f3.5-4.8, and a 1,229,760-dot TruBlack OLED screen. The 16-foot waterproof spec is about half that of other rugged cameras right now, and it doesn't feature the shock-proof or drop-proof specs of those other cameras either.
We got a chance to play with some units that were unfortunately totally drained of battery, and the glass body feels surprisingly light, though that also makes it feel a little cheap. It's also a good deal fatter than you're used to from Cybershot cameras, sort of resembling a morbidly obese iPhone from the front.
It's out in March for $500, which is a little more expensive than other rugged cameras (which are, again, a good deal more rugged). [Sony]

Everything Surfboards
Retro Mid & Shortboards
With a progressive move in the late 60's, Dewey pushed the envelop with this sub 9ft. transition shape. The STRATO SERIES always encompassed the R&D division for Weber, & the STRATO MINI-FEATHER certainly challenged conventional thinking at that time. Ranging between 7'0" - 8'6", this single fin offers the versatility & maneuverability of a short board with the trim, glide, & paddling speed of a longboard. It has the longboard outline similar to our FEATHER but the slightly more modern characteristics of our FASTBACK (hard edge & slight 'V' in tail). This board is different than almost anything on the market....Time to get your RETRO' on!!
A transition era shape, designed by Dewey and Nat Young in the early seventies, The FEATHER FASTBACK is a pin tail built for speed in the pocket & large carving cutbacks. This single fin offers the versatility & maneuverability of a short board with the trim, glide, & paddling speed of a longboard. This board is a great shorter board for you longboarder's out there & a great small wave board for you shortboarder's.
A throwback to a different time, this mid-length board has its own look and feel. S.K.I. stands for Synthetic Kinetic Instinct & it was one of the first planing hulls of the transition era. At the time, this board combined several different design principles that Dewey & his team were experimenting with. This board was strongly influenced by Dewey & former Weber Team riders Nat Young, Mike Tabeling & Harold Iggy. This was the board Nat was riding in the cult surf video "Morning of the Earth." We were inspired to re-introduce the SKI to our line of retro shortboards because by 2006, it was the most requested model that we didn't offer. Like many of our transition shapes, this board was the future of surfng. The SKI turns sick from the tail, yet cruises from the middle & even noserides under the right conditions.
This board is pure unadulterated fun. That is what "pig," has always meant in the Weber tradition of performance surfboards. It's the one thing that all of the pigs we've ever built over the years have in common. Anyone can ride this board & have a great time. The Pig is small & playful with that 'old school' volume. Get your 'PIG On' today!
Did you say twin-fin? The Weber swallow tail series of the 1970's produced 3 models; the Fish, the Swish, & the Swallow Tail. The Fish was short & wide. The Swallow Tail was slim & sleek. The Swish is the perfect combination of the two. Most important was the soft, curved innermost part of the vee bottom for control, staying power, & thrust. The SWISH is a split tail board that will increase your performance in any type of surf. Also, available as a quad.
Dewey designed this single fin as the perfect retro shortboard. In fact, almost every original Easy Rider made in the 70's was shaped by Dewey, as Iggy had moved back to Hawaii. With its width, this board will give you great flotation in a shorter board and would be perfect at a racy beach break. Made primarily as a sand finish, this board is light & playful. The Easy Rider also works unreal as a quad & we routinely build it as a 4+1 to create multiple options.
The Flying Pig is a 'full-bodied' modern thruster. It tuns similar to a high pro shorty but has enough volume to keep you in the game when it's small. This board is reminiscent of the Weber high performance shortboards of the 1980's. Keep in mind, we were the first traditional surfboard company to go short in 1968. We know short as well as long ... it's all about our quality and performance criteria. We enhance the ride in any size surfboard.

Sometimes an open doorway leads to someone's last-ditch crash-pad. Walking down Haste Street, you may have passed one such hole-in-the-wall hideaway. It might go totally unnoticed, if it weren't for the peek-a-boo graffiti. Appropriately, this no-money-down retreat is located in the same building that houses a Dollar Store. -more-

The Berkeley Rent Board is as is as predictable on rent control as the National Rifle Association is on gun control. In both cases, the underlying assumptions are up front and the ultimate proclamation a foregone conclusion. Stephen Barton is long-time advocate of rent control and has worked for or with the Board for years. Each of his many studies for the Board has been structured to support the program. His latest effort, a summarization of his report in the form of an article in these pages written with Rent Board Chair Lisa Stephens, is no exception. -more-

Unfortunately, Rand Paul's filibuster concerning the issue of drones was more political theater than addressing the more critical issues surrounding these terrifying weapons.
Of far greater importance is their clear violation of international law, invading the sovereignty of other nations and targeting their citizenry – often with appalling results. It is worth repeating the results of a Stanford Law School/NYU and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism at City University in London which estimated 98% of drone attacks killed or injured innocent civilians. General McCrystal warned that such attacks are creating a visceral hatred of the US and has served to be a great recruitment tool of our foes. It defies logic why President Obama should persist in this failed and dangerous policy. -more-

De profundis, a plaintive cry from a would-be Planet contributor: "I have no idea what you're doing, but every other publication on the planet can state what it's looking for. Until I get that from you, I won't be submitting."
Well, yes, I can understand that sentiment, and it's a wise decision he's made. In the ten years since the O'Malley family launched this ship of fools, I've often wondered myself where it was supposed to be sailing.
It's also been ten years next Wednesday since the Bush II administration launched an even more foolish endeavor, the pointless invasion of Iraq which resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths both Iraqi and American, and which has left behind it a ruined landscape in continuing chaos.
The two launches were not unconnected. From our first editorial, written by Becky with copious input from Mike and other family members: -more-
Which Berkeley article do you read in the Comical?
A couple of weeks ago, they published a Sunday front page piece by Carolyn Jones that took a dim view of the situation on Telegraph Avenue, one of Berkeley's traditionally most profitable shopping streets. It noted that things on Teley have gone badly downhill in the last few years (oddly enough during the decade when Tom Bates was mayor):"… sales tax revenues on Telegraph have plummeted, and empty storefronts abound. The intersection of Haste and Telegraph is marred by two vacant lots, and the former Cody's bookstore - once a hub of intellectual life - has sat empty since 2006."
But this week, only two weeks later, it seems everything's actually coming up roses in Berkeley. This Sunday's front page proclaims that "Berkeley mayor pushes city to prosperity." -more-
Despite the pugnacity of its leaders, the Republican Party is in bad shape. In 2012 it lost the Presidency, the Senate, and the popular vote for the House of Representatives. More important, it has lost its identity. Other than opposition to everything President Obama proposes, Republicans have no vision for America. Nonetheless, like an aging parent that no longer drives but truculently holds onto the keys to the car so no one else can use it, Republicans are part of the national political process: a perpetual stumbling block. How did they get this way and is there any chance they could find their soul? -more-
As the whole world now knows, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected Pope (Pope Francis). Clearly, the cardinals saw him as a safe, compromise choice. In other words, a keeper of the status quo. He holds traditional Catholic Church views. Otherwise he would not have been elected. He opposes abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, adoption by gays and lesbians, and contraception. -more-

It was in the middle of the first act that I said to myself, "Hey! I've seen this play before." Thirty years ago I was working for the Magic Theatre and Lynne Kaufman's "The Couch" played there.

Besides occasional news reports about the discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people, there is very little comparable data collected across the EU about the everyday experiences of LGBT people with respect of discrimination.
As the first EU-wide survey of its kind, the results will support the development of equal treatment policies for LGBT people in the European Union and should set the agenda for years to come. Based on the survey results, national and European policy makers, as well as non-governmental organisations, will be able to better target their advocacy strategies and activities to support LGBT communities to live and express themselves freely in a non-discriminatory environment.
The survey was completely anonymous (no data on the participants and their sessions were logged in any way). The survey was operated by Gallup, a professional survey and consultancy firm.
In order to give weight to the results, the European LGBT Survey counted on the participation of a large and diverse group of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people from each country. Hence, it was vitally important for the success of the survey that it reached a wide audience through participants emailing the survey, sharing it through social media or simply inviting LGBT friends to take part.
