Readers of a certain age may have an image of the artist David Byrne in that big kabuki inspired suit he was wearing around the time the 1983 Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense came out. Byrne was the lead singer of that popular "new wave" band. If that is the case, and you have not kept tabs on the artist, I urge you to update that image of Byrne and to explore the multifaceted work that he has produced since those big suit wearing days. And checking out Byrne's new book, How Music Works, is a perfect way to do just that. How Music Works is a fascinating analysis of the power of music and musical performance. From the music neophyte to jaded indie rockers, every music fan will find something to peak their interest in this difficult to define book. Equal parts music theory, social science, and memoir How Music Works is as entertaining as it is informative. Byrne's brainy but casual writing style here is similar to his voice in his last book, the also great, Bicycle Diaries and it works very well with the content. This is a must read for music fans and fans of Byrne (old and new!) alike.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (53 votes).
In short: Well organised, lots of hills, chaotic car parkIn full: This route around the south of Hudds is hilly, if you aren't going up you'll be going down so be prepared for a possible PW, its hard going. This year there seemed to be a lot more "back of the pack" runners, which is good to see. The one down side of the otherwise excellent organisation and friendly marshalling is the chaos that results after the race in the car park, where speedier runners are exiting by the same route that runners are still trying to finish the race. Stay around for a drink in the bar otherwise you'll be stuck in the car a while. Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Not a PB course. Good local run. Good value for money. In full: It's as it says on the can. Undualating-very. Plenty support out on the course. Very scenic. Missed a PB at the end as finnish was conjested with unnecessary people. Had to queue for shirt and then only had medium ones left. Water station was not obvious either. Date of review: March 3, 2010
In short: Very challenging course - bit chaotic at finishIn full: Tough course and no chance of a PB! Even the downhill bits were so steep that you didn't really feel as if you'd got back what you put in, but it was enjoyable all the same, and some of the scenery was nice. Bit of a gripe about the organisation at the end - due to the only way to leave the car park at the end was down the road the finishers were running along, the actual finish line was only one person wide, and we had to wait in single file for a good 5-10 minutes after finishing to collect t-shirt. Also, with cars and vans driving down a single track road that was also the finishing strait, and where the t-shirts and water were being given out, it made for an exceptionally busy and unrewarding end. Enjoyed the run itself, but won't be back. Date of review: March 2, 2010
In short: A special challenge!In full: Forget a PB - the hills will see to that; 3 'significant' ones, with 2 smaller ones. Great weather on the day made for an enjoyable outing - as did a sensible 11am start time (just enough time to come round from my Birthday drinks the night before!)There were mile markers, you just had to look out for them, but no water station - only at the end. But as it's only 10k, water stations would just provide distraction from those lovely hills.Great middle section scenery. And a flat, fast final mile or so. Good value at £9 - but would be nice to have something other than 'another T-shirt'Nice pockets of local support dotted around, and on the way out, mostly traffic free with runners been given the left hand side of the road to play with. After that, just the odd car on small country roads before giving way to a reasonable pavement on the main road on way back in.Only slight downside would be the narrow finish area, with cars trying to negogiate their way out whilst runners were still coming through.This race makes you work hard, but the sense of achievement makes it worthwhile.Date of review: March 1, 2010
In short: Challenging hills and friendly support made for a great race. But let down by poor organisation - cars and runners don't mix in the finishing straight!Date of review: March 1, 2010
In short: A good run out!In full: Huddersfield sure do make good hills! A brilliant local run, much better than Meltham. Only problems would be I was bit boxed in at the begining and end which slowed me down. Also cars didn't seem to see the 600 people running on the roads... odd that! No doubt people will be ranting in the local news how they couldn't get for their bacon butty for an hour on Sunday morning! Thanks to the Kingston Runners man who raced me at the end! A good finish to a good run. Date of review: March 1, 2010
In short: Nice race with plenty of space and big hills!In full: Very enjoyable race and loved the hills on the way up but feared for my life on the way down...... It's the going down bit that would make me think hard about doing this race again. Only gripes are no water stations on course, no mile markers, and long queue at end for tshirt but otherwise a good experience.Date of review: February 28, 2010
In short: Good hills.In full: No water stations or distance markers was poor, but generally an enjoyable race with friendly marshalls.Date of review: February 28, 2010
In short: very hillyIn full: first time i have done this race and just loved those hills really makes you work well done all runnersDate of review: February 28, 2010

Pain And Martyrdom After The Arab Spring
Latest update: January 10th, 2013
Soon, at least meteorologically, the Arab Spring will become an "Arab Winter. It will also be an apt change of metaphor. After all, from the standpoint of civilizational vulnerabilities to jihadist terror, nothing will have been improved. To the contrary, the still-developing relationship between regional democratization and Islamist terror-violence will most likely be inverse, and hence unwelcome. Significantly, this injurious turn of events could include both the probability, and intensity, of substantial terror-harms.
Almost certainly, and in more-or-less ascertainable increments, Islamist forces will soon surface and multiply with a renewed dedication to theocratic purity. The grotesquely explosive results of this largely unexpected rededication will be felt in the immediately affected countries, and also in Israel, Europe, and the United States.
In Gaza, Hamas, empowered by newly-emergent, post-Mubarak elements of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt – not to mention its plainly gainful repatriation of more than one thousand terrorists in the recent asymmetrical prisoner exchange with Netanyahu – will likely enlarge its plans for "war" against Israel. For all jihadist terrorists, of course, operational terror-violence will remain inseparable from their utterly immutable ideals of the sacred.
As I have been pointing out in these pages for many years, jihadist terrorism has little to do with war, politics or resistance to oppression. Instead, the essential meanings of these unceasing barbarisms can be found within distinctly personal spheres of fear, dissatisfaction, cowardice and loathing. These include: (1) a consuming, though unrecognized, horror of death; (2) an unfulfilled wish for ecstasy, or intense pleasure; (3) a palpable joy drawn from the targeting of those who "lack sacredness;" and (4) perhaps even more acutely after the fall of Mubarak and Ghadaffi, an unrelenting loathing of "apostates" and "infidels."
In searching for current meanings of revolutionary fervor in the Middle East and North Africa, the implications for jihadist terrorism will not be discoverable in official declarations, charters, or covenants. Nor will they be made readily understandable in less formal Islamist diatribes. Obliquely but profoundly, these deeper meanings will remain hidden and embedded in the intense sufferings joyously inflicted by jihadists upon their defenseless victims.
Throughout this volatile region, jihadist terror and "sacred" vengeance will soon re-emerge. Indeed, it is already re-emerging. Seeking to express shahada, or Death for Allah, this Islamist violence will increasingly challenge secular military forces, perhaps doing even more to fatally undermine democracy than the original authoritarian regimes.
Human language cannot describe human agony. The defiling horror of jihadist terror-violence, therefore, can never really be understood or felt by others. Armies of scholars notwithstanding, this horror simply can't be reduced to any tangible or measurable inventory of casualties.
Agony is always incommunicable. In matters of jihadist terror, efforts at quantification always miss the point.
Following the Arab Spring, the anguish of new terror victims will not only defile language; this anguish will also be language defiling. The sheer inexpressibility of pain, though never determinable by politics, revolution or society, can still have expressible political, revolutionary and societal outcomes. In the case of still-impending jihadist terrorism, it may even stand in the way of recognizing the new Islamist violence as criminal and unacceptable.
Immediately, we need to look beyond the agitated but ultimately futile and stillborn regional cries for "democracy." We must understand, firstly, that jihadist terrorists are animated and encouraged by the palpably voluptuous and purifying satisfactions of planned violence. Islamist suicide-bombers prepare carefully for their cathartic missions of pain and extinction because of the anticipated ecstasy. Drawn from a presumed religious obligation, this ecstasy, which rewards doubly because it is "cleansing," represents an almost exact reciprocal of the suffering to be borne by the unfortunate victims.
For jihadist suicide terrorists, both past and future, the death that is meted out to enemies remains only an abstraction. These victims lack sacredness. In the Koranic concept of war, terrorizing the profane unbeliever who refuses to be dhimmi (to accept Shari'a domination) is doctrinally a source of deep satisfaction.
Physical pain within the human body can do more than destroy ordinary language. It can also bring about a visceral reversion to pre-language human sounds – that is, to those primal moans, cries and whispers that are anterior to learned speech. While the soon-to-be expanding number of victims of jihadist terror will writhe agonizingly from the burns and the nails and the screws, neither the "civilized" world publics who bear silent witness, nor the "martyrs" themselves, will truly experience what is being suffered.
Physical pain, even after the Arab Spring, can have no consequential "voice." When, at last, it may discover some potentially decipherable sound, the listener will no longer want to listen. The audience, after all, undeniably mortal and fragile, will strenuously seek to deny its own existential vulnerabilities. Such denial, as Freud recognized, lies at the very heart of what it means to be human.
The Arab Spring and soon the Arab Winter contain hidden meanings. Almost certainly, the principal legacy may have precious little to do with any sustained popular revolution, democracy, or overthrow of earthly despotisms. It will bear instead upon long latent and much more primal human hopes of achieving the indisputably greatest power of all – the power of immortality.
The core of any successful counter-terrorist policy must begin in astute awareness that jihadist violence is not rooted in any superficial political or revolutionary ideology. Such terror-violence stems, deeply, from fixed and unchanging images of religious obligation. These images, in turn, are the earthly expressions of a desperately longed-for control over the "penalty" of dying.
After the Arab Spring, regional democracy is still unlikely. Instead, we are apt to see a hideously growing clamor for "martyrdom," and a corollary expansion of terror-victims' pain and perplexity.

Beyond Translation Memories: New Tools for Translators
Machine Translation Summit XII, Ottawa, August 29th 2009
Workshop Purpose and Theme
Since the late 1970s, when research on translation memories began, and the late
1980s, when the first commercial TM products became available, there have been
few major breakthroughs which have led to new tools designed to support the
activity of human translators. Instead, most research in the field has focused
on improving existing tools, be it translation memories, full machine
translation, terminology databases, alignment editors, monolingual spelling or
grammar checkers, voice recognition, workflow management, etc. The results have
certainly been encouraging, often allowing translators and translation firms to
work more efficiently and effectively. But have all the needs of translation
practioners been fully satisfied? Beyond the recycling of full-sentence
repetitions and their so-called fuzzy matches, are there new avenues left to
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for the discussion – and
perhaps even the demonstration – of such new tools for translators. Researchers,
developers and practioners are invited to share ideas, approaches, perspectives
and experiences that pertain to new technology or new ways of using existing
technology to support and facilitate the translation process.
Topics of interest
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-New ways of combining existing tools (ex: hybrid Translation Memory and
Machine Translation systems)
-Text translatability evaluation tools
-Pre-translation authoring tools
-Measuring terminology implantation
-Cooperative translation systems
-Web-based translation tools
-Post-editing tools
-Typing prediction tools
-Speech recognition for translation dictation
-Terminology search in comparable (as opposed to parallel) corpora
-Information retrieval tools for finding background material relevant to the
source text
Call for Papers

A lot has happened in the past few days, and interesting progress has been done with Tilt, both from a developer point of view, and from the community side. But first thing's first: Tilt is an extension, there's working code on https://github.com/victorporof/Tilt (currently there are 19 followers and counting! lots for such a short period of time), so let's see what it's made of.
The project structure is quite standard and follows the lines of any Firefox extension, with an install.rdf file containing description about the project (id, name, description, homepage url etc.) and also the target application, which is currently set to a Firefox minimum version of 4.0 and maximum version 7.0a1. I will probably change these as Firefox 7 ships in about five weeks, and it's a pretty good idea to support even Aurora and Minefield releases. Currently, Tilt is not bootstrapped (it needs a Firefox restart when installed), but I don't see it as a problem right now. As the project advances, I will most likely use Mozilla's Addons SDK to achieve this.
The chrome.manifest is composed of three sections: content, locale and skin. MDN defines chrome as: "the set of user interface elements of the application window that are outside of a window's content area. Toolbars, menu bars, progress bars, and window title bars are all examples of elements that are typically part of the chrome." These files are all packaged in a JAR archive.
Here is how the XUL currently looks like, also: what happens when initializing Tilt. These two files (browserOverlay.js and browserOverlay.xul) are at the highest level of the extension content. Most of the other files represent the engine to render everything (I called it jTilt for now), some helper draw functions built on top of this engine, and the visualization logic. Other helpful libraries like glMatrix are used, providing great performance, so that everything is efficient to achieve smooth rendering.
An important requirement of any Firefox extension is making it "localizable", basically the locale .dtd and .properties files containing all of the strings, messages and titles or captions of any view component. Thus, it's easy to translate this extension in many different languages and making it scalable from this point of view.
The third and final part is the skin, with .css files defining the look and other assets (.png, .jpg, images in general) used by the extension.
I'm currently using a TextMate development environment, but there's also a Komodo Edit project file if you prefer it instead. There's no "right" IDE for developing Firefox extensions, and any text editor you're most comfortable with will do. Read this for more information.
Currently, you can find the latest .xpi file in the bin folder. Drag and drop it in your Firefox window to install it. Start it by accessing "Tools" -> "Tilt" -> "Initialize Tilt", and you should see a rotating quad, tinted with a green color and a texture loaded from chrome:
The Bugzilla page for this project is Implement Tilt: a WebGL-based 3D visualization of a Webpage, I've received some quite useful feedback already. You might want to cc yourself there to receive updates on the development as soon as they appear. Of course, this blog has RSS, and I encourage you to subscribe to it.
A few other things worth mentioning are some bug pages on Bugzilla:
- gl.texImage2D() fails when loading images from a chrome URI instead of http
- JavaScript implementation of WebGL MOZ_dom_element_texture extension (which is most likely the next most important step in developing this extension, after adding a few test units)
- Write draft specification for MOZ_dom_element_texture WebGL extension and
- Implement WebGL MOZ_dom_element_texture extension (both of these last two being assigned to Cedric Vivier, regarding creating a "WebGL-optimized equivalent to privileged canvas.drawWindow in order to render DOM elements into WebGL textures")

Three scientists were awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine for their work on telomeres — a term that came up in our interview with Doris Taylor. She explains that just as stress can shorten telomeres, they have the potential to be lengthened and extend life.
The word "healing" means "to make whole." But historically, Western medicine has taken a divided view of human health. It has stressed medical treatments of biological ailments. That may be changing. Mehmet Oz, a cardiovascular surgeon, is part of a new generation of doctors who are taking medicine to new technological and spiritual frontiers.

Share a Reflection
I am currently undergoing the process of 'making whole' (which makes up my newfound perspective in life)
Let me explain:
In spring of 2005, I sustained a severe diffuse axonal traumatic brain injury, in addition to 40 broken bones (18 of which were in my spine), as well as heart (tricuspid valve) and lung damage. I spent 9 weeks in the hospital – fighting for my life. In addition to my severe pain, I had to relearn everything- from how to walk and talk, to how to once again become independent. I had to put a halt on my education and focus entirely on my recovery.
On the bright side, my determination is paying off…and I owe a great deal to alternative medicine therapies (YOGA, meditation, and positive mindset). Through these, I've been granted the ability to slowly (but patiently!) rebuild my life. This positive mindset, in combination with my unique perspective, has contributed to healing my injuries, making them 'invisible.' It has also helped me build the confidence to meet neuroscientist Richard Davidson, and has led me a position in his Brain Imaging Lab. Also, I've been able to open myself up to new aspects of life (school included – I'm graduating this May with a Communicative disorders major ☺) Overall, as challenging as my recovery has been, I consider it rewarding – it has helped me discover insight into my cognition and my body, as well as shaped me into a more positive person. My approach on life is now full of optimism, and I no longer take anything for granted.
To conclude, I'd like to express my extreme gratitude for Mehmet Oz's (and others) work regarding the intersection of medicine and spirituality.
Based on my interesting experiences, I am now confident in the power of healing by 'making whole' and am passionate about contributing to rehabilitation (brain injury, heart, or physical) in any way I can. Lasltly, I've made quite a long story short, so feel free to contact me with any questions/comments you may have.
I should've mentioned this in my last submission, but any feedback would be greatly appreciated - positive or negative (that's how I grow!). If you'd like me to expand on 'my journey'...I can easily do that. In fact, I've been reflecting on my experiences since I've been capable (about 4 years now...it's a great form of communication for me--> since my expressive vocabulary was lost and had to be rebuilt).
Anyway, I could go on for hours about recovery process, so anything specific would be helpful. I'd love to hear any suggestions from you.
Thank you!

I am reminded of the story of the Velveteen Rabbit; becoming whole is, to me, the same as becoming "real." My journey to wholeness began as a result of what would seem to be a contradiction of anything close to that process. My very early life was challenged by abuse. It was prolonged. It was painful. And, yet, there was something of a "gift" in it, for I discovered transcendance, the ability to see past (or maybe through) the illusion of that being any part of who I was. That experience taught me many things about survivorship and about what it takes to be whole which, in my opinion, means not rejecting any part of who we are. As Carl Jung made clear, whatever we disown takes on a life of its own. Therefore, we need to embrace it all, feel it all, and make choices. This "skill" got me through several health crises including major neurosurgery and breast cancer. It motivated me to create my own integrative mental health clinic in 1989, where to this day, I work with a team of other mental health and complementary medicine practitioners who, together, have a mission to assist others in their journeys to wholeness. So, in response to your question regarding "when" I've experienced healing in my life as a process of 'making whole,' the answer is, continually. Formerly, it came through what I consider Divine intervention, glimmers of hope, an abundance of faith, and some kind of resiliency. Now, it comes through mindfulness, choices, and never losing site (for long) of the power of looking up when things are down and remembering that we are so much more than our problems or obstacles. We are already whole; we just have to heal through the moments when we forget.
