A former Israeli soldier imprisoned for killing a British activist in the Gaza Strip in 2003 is to be released before his sentence is up.
Taysir-al-Heib was sentenced to eight years for the "unlawful killing" of Tom Hurndall, a 22-year-old volunteer for the International Solidarity Movement.
But an army committee said he was no longer a threat and has agreed to release him 18 months before his sentence expires. His lawyer said Mr al-Heib had changed and added that he planned to get married.
A group of non governmental organisations have written to the EU High Representative claiming that Israel's decision to ease the blockade of the Gaza Strip is not enough to rebuild the area's economy.
The 19 organisations, including Amnesty International UK, Christian Aid, and War Child UK, asked Catherine Ashton to press for restrictions on Gaza to be lifted completely.
The Crown Prosecution Service may investigate the conduct of a Brighton judge who inferred an anti-Israel activist should win a medal for bravery.
The Board of Deputies have asked the Office of Judicial Complaints to review the judge's summing up and the CPS have also requested a transcript.
Last month a jury acquitted seven activists of causing £200,000 worth of damage to an arms factory in January 2009. The defendants claimed they were trying to prevent the factory, owned by EDO MBM, from making arms for Israel during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza.
Greek pro-Palestinian protesters delayed a flight to Israel for two hours by staging a demonstration against the situation in Gaza at the airport.
The Tel Aviv bound El Al plane could not take off on time after the group from a Communist backed union obstructed five counters, preventing passengers from checking in their luggage.
Police at Athens International Airport did not intervene but there were no reports of violence.
The Court of Appeal has reduced the prison sentences of a number of people who pleaded guilty to violent disorder in protests against Israel's incursion into Gaza outside the Israeli embassy in London.
The judges cut the prison terms in some instances from two years to 18 months, and from 18 months to 10 in others: in one instance, they quashed a 12-month jail sentence and replaced it with a community order, citing an "inexcusable" delay in bringing the man to court.
Eight appeals for reduced sentences were accepted, two were dismissed.
A group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators who attacked a coffee shop outside the Israeli embassy are appealing against their sentences.
The ten protesters were among more than 78 people charged following a demonstration against Israel's invasion of Gaza.
Their lawyers are expected to argue that the "deterrent" sentences, some of up to two and a half years and most for violent disorder, were inappropriate.
Police intervened and arrested more than 100 people after the crowd threw stones and bottles.
A meeting between Israeli and Turkish ministers last week, intended to be secret, seems to have done nothing to improve the countries' rocky relations, instead causing at least two crises within Binyamin Netanyahu's coalition.
Trade and Industry Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer has close ties with politicians in many Muslim countries and has undertaken delicate diplomatic missions in the past. Following the breakdown of Israel's relationship with the Erdogan administration after the Gaza flotilla incident last month, Mr Ben-Eliezer tried to use back channels to mend fences.
Eighteen months after Operation Cast Lead in Gaza and there still is no end in sight to the investigations and court proceedings.
The Israeli military has said it is charging a soldier with manslaughter for an incident during Operation Cast Lead.
His will be the third case of a soldier going on trial for offences during the January 2009 incursion into the Gaza Strip.
The soldier, named only as First Sergeant S, is from the Givati regiment.
Investigators said he broke Israel's rules of engagement in firing at two Palestinian women, killing both. The troops been ordered only to fire warning shots at combatants in the crowd.
The newly elected Lord Mayor of Dublin has suggested twinning the Irish capital with the Gaza Strip out of "sympathy".
Gerry Breen proposed that the City Council explore the idea at its next monthly meeting, but said it was not meant as a criticism of Israel but as a positive step.
He said: "Gaza doesn't necessarily need to benefit from it, sometimes you can do these things because it's the right thing to do.
"It's saying that we empathise with the plight of the inhabitants in that area."
Both Dublin and Gaza are already twinned with Barcelona.

During the fall and winter seasons, many cyclists taper their road bike training to a maintenance level. These lower-intensity off-season rides provide a great opportunity to incorporate drills to improve road bike handling skills. This article presents techniques and drills you can incorporate during training rides and focused practice to improve road bike handling skills. Using the off-season to focus on bike handling drills, we can start up the next training or racing season more prepared—and with a higher level of confidence, skill, and safety.
Riding drills discussed include Ride the White Line, One-Leg, and other drills to reinforce smooth pedaling and steady bicycle control. Focused practice drills described include the Water Bottle Pickup, Bumping, Hopping, and other drills designed to improve bike handling. Included are twelve figures demonstrating many of the drills and techniques, and two summary tables for quick reference of all the drills and techniques.

The Untimely Demise of the F-22
A triumph for the military-industrial complex.
Aug 17, 2009, Vol. 14, No. 45 • By MICHAEL GOLDFARB
In his farewell address, President Eisenhower warned "against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex." Last month, John McCain invoked that warning as he fought alongside the Obama administration and Senate Democrats to strip a relatively paltry $1.75 billion in funding for the Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor out of the defense authorization bill, delivering the death blow to a program that currently produces the world's only fifth-generation fighter.
Just 183 F-22s have been built, and after another 4 are completed this year, the production line will be shut down for good. A fleet of that size "puts execution of our current national military strategy at high risk in the near to mid-term," General John Corley, commander of Air Combat Command, told Senator Saxby Chambliss in a letter in June. A few weeks before that, Air Force chief of staff General Norton A. Schwartz appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee and characterized the risk to national security from halting F-22 procurement at 187 as "moderate to high." And in April retired General Richard Hawley, a former commander of Air Combat Command, told a Senate committee that the administration's recommendation to kill the F-22 "rests on an assertion that we cannot afford to equip our airmen, on whom we rely to gain and maintain air superiority, with the best weapons that our defense industrial base has developed."
The Air Force had initially planned to purchase some 750 of the super-stealthy jet fighter, but that number steadily dwindled as costs skyrocketed and delays mounted--a "death spiral" that now seems to afflict every Air Force procurement program but is most acutely felt in the development and production of jet fighters.
More than $60 billion has been spent on the research, development, and procurement of the F-22, putting the per unit cost of each aircraft at roughly $340 million. But the marginal cost of buying one additional aircraft has come down to (just!) $138 million, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated that a larger order of 70 additional aircraft could have brought that number down to $70 million a pop.
Yet when Secretary of Defense Robert Gates went to Chicago last month to make the administration's case for killing the program (and several others), he didn't portray the F‑22 as unaffordable--just unnecessary. Gates said the administration wanted to end F-22 production in favor of another jet, the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, which has yet to enter production. "If properly supported, the F-35 will be the backbone of America's tactical aviation fleet for decades to come," Gates said in the speech, "if--and it's a big if--money is not drained away to spend on other aircraft."
Opponents of the F-22 were careful to frame the fight against continued procurement as a fight against wasteful spending and the special interests that profit from it. "We do not need these planes," Obama said in a letter to senators from his own party after first the House and then the Senate Armed Services Committees voted to add funding for the aircraft to a Pentagon budget that requested none. Obama threatened to veto his own defense authorization bill if the funding wasn't stripped out.
The plane's critics could offer a litany of reasons for why we didn't need the planes, some more compelling than others. The F-22 "has not supported a single mission in Iraq or Afghanistan," Colorado senator Michael Bennet said. Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden said more money for the F-22 would be "the very definition of government waste" and as proof pointed to the fact that the Pentagon, which "hasn't exactly been shy about calling for additional weapons, say[s] this is unnecessary." "It is a cold war relic," declared the military experts who edit the New York Times, noting that it was conceived to counter a Soviet threat that never materialized. And just days before the Senate vote, the administration engineered a Washington Post report that quoted one anonymous Pentagon official blasting the F-22 as incapable of flying more than an average of "1.7 hours before it gets a critical failure."

Crossing into Mexico and Catching Up On This Ride Report
So I lied last post when I said I was going to bring it up to date. It took three attempts to get posted what I did by that time I was fed up and it was late, BUT
I think I finally figured out what needs to be done to get this blog updated. There is quite the learning curve to this ADV stuff. I'm about a week or so behind on this blog still so let's get on with it. A lot of this is cut and paste from my blogspot so I will try to edit it accordingly and add what needs to be added. Thanks for your patience.*
We woke up early in anticipation of our border crossing into Mexico. We went next door to the Oasis restaurant for a delicious breakfast burrito and coffee. While there, we interrogated the waitress about the whole process. She was very informative and really put us at ease about the ordeal as well as giving us sound directions to Chihuahua,Mexico where we were welcomed intothe home of Cesar Villa and his beautiful wife Violeta and their three month new son Cesar Gabriel Villa Jr. I contacted them through ADVrider tentspace. They have been wonderful, gracious hosts offering us the world. Violetas home cooked meals were better than any Mexican restaurant we have eaten at along the way Cesar went over the map with us and showed us the few spots to avoid, but other than that the country is safer than the US media will have you believe. *Cesar rides a VStrom 1000 and Violeta rides the VStrom 650 they had while dating. They also toured all over Mexico for their honeymoon on the motorcycle. We are resting up here before we go to the Copper Canyon.*
After a wonderful visit with our new friends Cesar and Violeta we moved on towards the Copper Canyon. After the crush of close to a million people in Chihuahua we were glad to get away from the traffic. The scenery has been pretty much the same since we left the hill country of Texas, dry scrubby brush in a brutal desert environment. On the road to Creel it finally started to rise in elevation and I think they're Juniper trees, started to cover the landscape. We arrived in Creel, the largest town in the Copper Canyon area, population 6000. I'm including a few pictures we took today that include what I call a "dust devil" along the road when we stopped to rest as well as a huge dust devil over the mountain as seen from the street in Creel. You can see the change in scenery and a smilin' horse although he doesn't have much to smile about. Just horsin' around!
We woke up at 7000+ feet above sea level and you could see your breath in the air, A perfect morning for a ride. After breakfast we headed out to ride around the Copper Canyon. It's not just one canyon but six.
We stopped and took a gondola out over one of the canyons and had an excellent operator, Guadalupe, that was very knowledgable about the history, geology, flora and fauna. They are in the process of installing the worlds largest zip-line right next to the tram, expected speeds of 70 miles an hour out over this canyon *you can also cliff climb and ride the existing zip-line After the ride we rode towards Urique until we ran out of asphalt. I wanted to keep going but needed to turn around anyway, the road was one way in one way out, at least for a Harley. *Oh yeah, when we arrived at the tram the police had the road blocked off and wouldn't let us return to Creel. It turns out there was a car race, The Chihuahua Express, that was due to finish at this point and they had the road closed to all traffic. We met a lady from California, Rita who was waiting for her husband Doug, who was one of the drivers in the race. *The last photo is of 400 year old burial caves used by the Tarahumara Indians.*
We left Creel and headed toward Batopolis, another day of twists and turns through amazing canyons and vistas. We turned around when the asphalt ended since we would have to return this way anyway. We stopped in a dusty little town called Guachochi for the night and walked around the center of town listening to a mariachi band playing for some sort of candidate campaign. We left in the morning for Durango and stopped at the first hotel that we found. For $8.00, we got what we paid for. It was kind of sketchy, think flophouse, but we were beat and Ipulled the bike into the lobby for the night. Everything was still there in the morning and we didn't get gnawed on by bedbugs or see any cockroaches so it was worth the $8.00. Driving in Mexico has it's own hazards, such as dogs, horses, cows, burros and all sorts of other things roaming around freely. We have seen several smilin' horses and other assorted animals. The road from Durango to Mazatlan, is known as the Devil's Backbone. This is on my list as one of the most scenic twisty fantastic motorcycle riding roads that I have been on. Thanks Cesar, for telling us about it. Comparable to The Tail of the Dragon on the NC/Tenn border, the Dragon is more technical for riding skills, but Runnin' the Devils Backbone is probably fifty miles longer and 1000 times more scenic. This road is tie with the road in Glacier NP on up through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper NP. As for Cancer, that's just a reference to us crossing the Tropic of Cancer on this same road to Mazatlan. We were sitting in the shade trying to figure out our next move, when a pickup truck pulls up with Washington plates on it. After some discussion, George tells us to follow him. He takes us through the mango groves and we pull into this town called Chametla. This was his mothers home town and he and his sisters inherited her hacienda. He winters down here every year and was happy to be able to have a conversation in English for a change. Anyway he sets us up in the local hotel and proceeds to rollout the red carpet and give us the grand tour. We go to a couple of places to eat, first it was oysters on the riverbank where they were dugout of the beds, I had mine grilled as well as some raw. We saved a little room for the next place, fresh ceviche that was made with either fish, squid, crab or shrimp. Judy had the shrimp I had the crab as we always eat half and switch no matter what we get. We also sampled the fish ceviche. George had the squid. This topped off the belly so he takes us for a ride out the back of town through mango groves and in a matter of five or ten minutes we're dippin' our toes in the Pacific. Life's a Beach ain't it?!! George is wearing the white shirt/black shorts.*
* * *The Devils Backbone Photos Start Here
* * * * * Our time in Chametla starts here
There's an old saying that guests are like fish, *after three days they begin to stink. *Besides not wanting to wear out our welcome, *we were ready to hit the road. *So with a tear in our eye we pried ourselves away from our new friends. *George and his cousins as well as all of the people in Chametla treated us like family and welcomed us back any time. Just as Cesar and Violeta did in Chihuahua. Maybe our country should rethink their portrayal of the Mexican people. I think the media has it all wrong. * The bike turned south and then east toward Guadalahara. I managed to get us into the city center at rush hour in 90*+ heat with full leathers and helmet on. An hour and a half later we squirted out the other side *and found the next closest town spelled Zapotanlejo. *Seemed like a trendy place with a lot of friendly people. *We ate some tacos from the street vendor right outside our hotel and we both agree they were the best so far. *We moved on to a town I had read about called Guanajuato. *This place looks Spanish on the outside but with all of the tunnels interconnecting under the ground it looks like a medieval city out of Europe down there, *we just haven't been able to place it. We took a funicular ride up the hill and took a bunch of photos and rode around the city panoramic road and also blasted through a bunch of tunnels so we could give you a feel for what the subterranean network of interconnecting tunnels looks like
We left Guanajuato behind and made our way to the Gulf coast to a town called *Tecolutla where we are now taking a three day break and I finally have this blog caught up to date. Monday,April 29,2013 I did a some more posin' on the way at some lake in the mountains, northwest of VeraCruz. *Call me a poser, that's what Harley Riders do isn't it!?

Weaver to retire as Baker's men's basketball coach
BALDWIN CITY, Kan. - Rick Weaver, Baker University's men's basketball coach for the past 25 years, has announced his plans to retire from coaching at the end of the 2009-2010 academic year.
"It's been a quick 25 years coaching at BU," Weaver said. "It's never easy to give up something that you enjoy, but I'll be turning 60 before next season starts, it's time. The early announcement will hopefully assist with the search process and I will do everything I can to help with the transition. It's been a privilege to coach so many great kids over the last quarter century."
Weaver will continue to teach and assist with fund raising through 2011-2012 at the university.
Weaver in 1985-86 became the 10th head men's basketball coach in Baker University's history. During his tenure at Baker, he has guided the Wildcats to 352 victories, the school's first Heart of America Athletic Conference basketball title in 1989 and a trip to the NAIA national tournament in 1996 when the Wildcats set a school record with 25 victories.

Baker looks to extend three-game winning streak
Fulton, Mo. – A tough nonconference schedule in November left the women's basketball team with a 3-4 record through its first seven games.

Baker (6-4, 3-0 HAAC) will continue to rely on junior Emily Gibson to lead the charge. Gibson averages 14.9 points per game and 9.7 rebounds per game. On Monday, Gibson was named HAAC Player of the Week, averaging 19.3 points on .667 shooting to go with 14.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals. Gibson posted a career-high 27 points and 17 rebounds in the Cats' 74-52 victory over Lindenwood University on Dec. 5. She has recorded five double-doubles on the season.

Modelling Again
I have been fiddling around with Neverwinter Nights for quite awhile now. One reason why I stop updating this blog while messing with NWN is that scripting doesn't present well in a blog post – not in my opinion anyway. Recently however I made some models for NWN, and so I do have something to show.
In October the Custom Content Challenge theme was Weird Science, and so I decided to take a stab at something you would find in a lab. I came up with a rusty table, and a microscope. These are screenshots from NWN:

NWN: Sea Cave Tileset Improvement
I have been doing some work assembling art assets for the new Vives project. The first task was to put together a collection of the tilesets and placeables which builders will need. One of my favorite tilesets is the Sea Cave tileset, but I felt that it needed a roof. I set to finding an expedient solution to this today. Continued…

Resizable Div In Javascript
Today I made a babystep towards implementing an editor for my tile based game. Its not much, but I figured out how to code a movable and resizable div in javascript. Give it a try below:

Following my A* Routine to Ondřej's ROT
I have spent a few days working on pathfinding routines, and was unsuccessful on my own until I found Ondřej's ROguelike Toolkit in JavaScript. (ROT incidentally is the namespace he uses in this project.) After playing with Ondřej's pathfinding code, I now properly understand how A* works. I am also impressed by the structure of his project, so I have begun using it as a reference while I put together my framework of scripts for Grecian Urn. Thank you, Ondřej!
By the way, TILES is now the name for the framework, since this is for a tile based game. "Grecian Urn" describes a particular aesthetic I want to achieve someday in a game, but the more I explore this tile based game, the less I think it is appropriate for the original vision. At this point, I think it would be better to design Grecian Urn as a side scroller showing characters in profile rather than a top down grid. But since I am already creating a framework for a tile based game, I might as well finish it.

If a team gets swept at home over the weekend and no one's around to hear it does it make a sound. Nope. No one heard the Diamondbacks lose over the weekend, and probably not many people have noticed that they went 2-10 in their past twelve games. With a full weekend of college and pro football games a team that has not been competitive since day one is merely a footnote on the local sports scene. Friday night's game didn't even draw 20,000 fans, Sunday's was only slightly better with 21,000.
I suppose fans have decided that they have seen all that the Diamondbacks have to offer this season, and that every game is a mere sequel to one that has already been played. Yesterday it was the game where the starting pitcher gives up one run in six innings only to hand it over to the bullpen which promptly gives up four runs and the offense manages only seven hits. Saturday night it was the game where the starter goes four innings and gives up six runs and the offense manages only seven hits, somewhat of a repeat of Friday's game where the starter went three innings and gave up five runs.
There have been story lines that we have clung to this season, such as the pre All Star hype about Dan Haren being a Cy Young candidate, Mark Reynolds challenging Albert Pujols for the home run title, or the Diamondbacks playing the role of spoiler, but those discussions have now faded. There have been exciting debuts of players such as Brandon Allen, who a few weeks ago looked like he may be the answer to the Diamondbacks seven year drought at first base. Allen has hit .188 over the past week and is now batting .200 for the season. Eric Byrnes has returned to the lineup and Diamondbacks have returned to being one of the worst hitting teams in baseball, batting an embarrassing .234 in September.
The only thing that Diamondbacks have to look forward to is that there are only 12 more games in what will be the third worst season in their history, a year that they were supposed to contend for the division. I guess there is one more thing to watch for though. The Dbacks have 62 wins at this point. If they cannot win 3 of their next 12 they will have a worse record than they did in their expansion season of 1998, when their record was 65-97. That is something that Josh Byrnes and AJ Hinch could really hang their hat on.

Mktg Hello. Can I speak to someone about the digital switchover?
Digital UK Yes, you can speak to me. How can I help?
Mktg Well, you can start by telling me what's happening. I've been told that I'm losing coverage of BBC Two. I had no idea any of this was happening.
Digital UK Yes, that's right, but you should have known about this. We spent almost the past two-and-a-half years marketing the fact, telling the country there was about to be a switchover. I'm surprised you didn't know about it. It was done on a region-by-region basis and it was very carefully planned.
Mktg Well, I did hear something about it, but I never knew it was to happen so quickly. I have actually bought a Freeview box but I've heard people have had trouble converting to digital. Is this something you've had complaints about?
Digital UK No, not at all.
Mktg Well, my neighbour said she had problems and she has the same TV as me, so I am anticipating hassle. Is this number open 24 hours to handle potential difficulties?
Digital UK No, it is open till 10pm but there will be someone well-informed to answer any of your questions. To be honest, the set-top boxes are very easy to use and are foolproof. You can't go wrong.
Mktg OK, that's good to know. So what's next on the switchover? If I stay as I am and don't switch, I take it I will lose all my channels.
Digital UK You will, so the sooner you switch the better, either through a digitally enabled TV or through a set-top box.
Mktg OK, I will keep my eyes peeled for any more changes.
Digital UK Yes, that's a good idea, but if you have problems, don't hesitate to call us.
The call-handler was efficient, clearly spoken and knew his brief. He was up to speed on all the relevant dates, and never lost patience despite the basic nature of the questions. He also came across as a strong advocate of the digital switchover.

Getting Shelled
Shaped like a dinosaur egg and constructed usually of ceramics, terra-cotta, or lava rock (think tandoor), the kamado grill has served as a trusted cooking apparatus for thousands of years. It's brilliant for slow cooking, smoking, even baking pizzas, which is why the market is flooded with 'em. Despite the grill's popularity, Dan Nichols, executive vice president of the Caliber Range Corporation, decided it needed some refinement. After two years of research and development, he unveiled his Thermashell Pro. "Kamados cook and hold heat well, but they're very inefficient," he says. "If you've got to heat up 225 pounds of ceramic clay, you're going to go through a lot of charcoal. We use two layers of 304 stainless steel, and in between is a 2-inch compressed, high-temp ceramic insulation—the same insulation we use for self-cleaning ovens."
All of that produces a kamado that weighs 75 pounds (a third as much as most models), burns longer, uses less charcoal, and won't crack or send you to the burn ward. "Instead of using just the heat from the charcoal, we keep all the good, moist heat inside with lightweight insulation and make it do twice the work," Nichols says.
To be clear, Nichols didn't completely reinvent the wheel by using stainless steel; other lightweight stainless-steel models exist, but most don't retain heat nearly as well as clay—which is the whole pointof a kamado. "The big moment for us was when we ran a test against another top model," Nichols says. "Ours got much hotter faster. Twenty-four hours later, the temp in our cavity was 200 degrees. The other kamado was room temp. I've never heard of a kamado that can do an entire brisket run on one batch of fuel. Thermashell can.
But there are other noteworthy attributes. Thermashell's exterior doesn't get overly hot (it won't burn you at 130 to 140 degrees), the rack space is about 10 percent larger than that of most other models, the racks are closer to the top edge (for easier access), and the air vent is lower, which keeps in more of the moist heat. The Thermashell is also equipped with a built-in rotisserie—the only kamado to have one.
"It's 21st-century technology on an ancient way of cooking," Nichols says. "But it's not about being lighter or prettier or more modern looking. It's about food quality."
We couldn't agree more. Bon appétit!

Mere Christianity/Screwtape Letters/Great Divorce - Box Set (Hardcover)
For the first time ever, three of C.S. Lewis's most popular and celebrated spiritual classics come packaged together in this collector's box gift set: Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Great Divorce.
According to Kathleen Norris, "Lewis seeks in Mere Christianity to help us see religion with fresh eyes, as a radical faith whose adherents might be likened to an underground group gathering in a war zone, a place where evil seems to have the upper hand, to hear messages of hope from the other side" (from the foreword). One of the most popular and beloved introductions to Christian faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide and its popularity continues to grow. The book brings together Lewis's legendary broadcast talks of the war years, talks in which he set out simply to "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."
A masterpiece of satire, The Screwtape Letters has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptationand triumph over itever written.
In The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The main character finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil and what is really at stake in this life. In Lewis's own words, If we insist on keeping Hell (or even earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven, we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell.'
About the Author
C. S. (Clive Staples) Lewis (1898-1963), one of the great writers of the twentieth century, also continues to be one of our most influential Christian thinkers. A Fellow and tutor at Oxford until 1954, he spent the rest of his career as Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge. He wrote more than thirty books, both popular and scholarly, inlcuding The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, The Four Loves, Mere Christianity and Surprised by Joy.
