No one recalls JetBlue Airways captain Clayton Osbon coming unhingedbefore. Not the airline that let him fly for 12 years, the neighbors in his secluded water-front community or the friends he tried selling weight-loss shakes to on the side. Now

federal prosecutors have charged Osbon following his bizarre unraveling aboard Flight 191

to Las Vegas, describing in court records a midair breakdown they say began with cockpitramblings about religion and ended with passengers wrestling him to the cabin floor.

Trayvon Martin’s family has seized on a police video of neighborhood watchvolunteer George Zimmerman, saying it does not show the injuries Zimmerman claims he

suffered before fatally shooting the unarmed black teenager. The 90-second video shows

police searching a handcuffed Zimmerman before he is led into the Sanford police depart-

ment. Zimmerman told police he shot Martin in self-defense. He said Martin attacked him

as he was walking back to his vehicle after pursuing the teen.

President Barack Obama’s plea to Congress to end $4 billion in tax subsidies tooil companies was rebuffed Thursday as the Senate turned back a Democratic bill to repeal

the tax breaks. Moments after Obama made his election-year appeal in the White House

Rose Garden, the Senate failed to get the necessary two-thirds vote to proceed to a measure

that would have ended the subsidies.

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood-led parliament began drawing up a no-confi-dence motion against the military-appointed government Thursday, further escalating

the Islamists’ increasingly public power struggle with the country’s ruling generals. TheIslamists were also squabbling with liberal and secular groups over the commission that is

to draw up the nation’s new constitution. After the Brotherhood took a clear majority on the

100-member body for itself, 25 other members resigned.

Israel on Thursday stepped up preparations a day before a series of plannedArab protests, deploying thousands of troops and police across the country and along its

borders in anticipation of possible violence. On Friday, Israeli Arabs and Palestinians in

the West Bank and Gaza are marking Land Day, an annual protest against what they say are

discriminatory Israeli land policies.

Lawyers for a prominent environmental activist say he has been released froman isolation unit at a federal prison and placed back into a minimum-security camp. Tim

DeChristopher, who is serving two years for fraudulently bidding on drilling leases near

Utah’s national parks, called his supporters Thursday to say he was out of an isolation unitat a federal prison in Herlong, Calif. He’s back in a nearby minimum-security camp with

full privileges after spending 20 days in the dock. Republicans pleaded with President Barack Obama on Thursday to negotiatewith Congress to avert automatic, across-the-board military cuts that Defense Secretary

Leon Panetta has warned would be devastating. The reductions — $50 billion in the first

year and $492 billion over a decade — won’t kick in until January 2013, but lawmakers

argued that Congress and the Obama administration can’t wait months to deal with the

issue.

The men of Provo wereattacked on several occa-sions last year for their

fashion sense or lack

thereof. As Provo’s menhead into the real world for

internships and new jobs,

there are several minor

adjustments they can maketo improve.

GQ magazine ranked

Provo one of the worst-

dressed cities in the coun-try, and then a few months

later GQ ranked BYU

males as some of the worstdressed in the country.

Most of the criticism was

directed at Provo formalwear or “Sunday attire.”

William Locklear, a fresh-

man political science major

from Knoxville, Tenn., saidhe is fed up with GQ maga-

zine’s rankings.“Those rankings are

ridiculous,” he said. “I

think they are very biased.”

But Locklear said all the

negativity isn’t just comingfrom “outsiders,” but from

within.

“This guy on Twitter@NiceTryZoob is starting

to bother me,” he said. “I

finally just stopped follow-

ing him. Obviously thereare some guys who could

use some help, but there are

stylish people in Provo too.

I’m stylish, just look at whatI’m wearing.”

Daniel Bullock, a juniorexercise science major from

Westminster, Colo., said it isimportant to beware of van-

ity, but also said it is impor-

tant to dress nice.“I’m not saying spending

way too much money on

overpriced clothes is what

everyone should go outand do,” Bullock said. “I

just think dressing a little

professional really makes adifference.”

Bullock said he believes

good church attire and styl-

ish formal wear are twodifferent things.

“Look, on Sundays wear

your white shirt to churchbecause that is respectful,”

Bullock said. “But any other

time, invest in some color and

new patterns. Guys just need

to wear something they didn’twear on their missions.”

Christopher Hayes, asenior animation major

from Atlanta, said he dis-

agrees with GQ magazine,

but believes up-to-date styleis important.

“Looking good is not the

most important thing inlife,” he said. “As BYU stu-

dents we understand this bet-

ter than most. But we havebeen taught to look our best.I personally think staying

fashionable is important.”

The ten commandments of men’s formal fashion

Ten Commandments ofMen’s Formal Fashionfrom Men’s Health Magazine article

“Ten Commandments of Style”

1. Get your suits tailored. Over-

sized suits are bad news.

2. Never wear sneakers with suits, unless you are

4 years old. Then you can get away with it.

3. Invest in a suitable time-piece. It’s just classy.

4. Make sure your socks match your suit.

5. Put your wallet on a diet. Get the nonsense (receipts,

gift cards, candy wrappers, etc.) out of your wallet.

6. Wear brown shoes, it wins style points.

7. Go easy on the hair gel.8. Throw away your cheap printed ties.

9. You don’t have to wear a belt.

10. Don’t wear ties that are too skinny. An ultra-

modern type guy might get away with it. But

otherwise keep it to about 3 inches in width.

BYU men’s fashion gets a bad rap, but some still pull it o with flair.




OPENING OUR 2ND LOCATION IN PROVO

APRIL 9TH, 2012!

The BYU softball team is on aseven-game win streak head-

ing into this weekend, where

it will travel to Fresno to playFresno State in its second

WAC series.

BYU is currently 21-8 and

sitting atop the WAC stand-ings, having swept New

Mexico State in a three-game

series last weekend. Fresno

State is tied with Hawaii forsecond in the WAC standings,

with one loss to Nevada, and

is sporting a 22-13 record onthe season.

BYU and FSU played in

three of the same preseasontournaments and faced

similar opponents in those

tournaments. Both BYU and

FSU beat Saint Joseph’s andCharlotte in the preseason.

BYU beat multiple teams

that Fresno lost to, includingNo. 15 Oregon, Purdue, Long

Beach State and Cal State

Northridge.

Both teams are similarin season statistics as well.

The Cougars have scored 175

runs, have a .304 batting aver-age and 25 home runs, while

the Bulldogs have scored 147

runs, have a .275 batting aver-age and 27 home runs.BYU has an all-time record

of 2-6 against FSU. The last

meeting between the teamswas last year as BYU lost

the game 7-3. The Cougars

fell behind and weren’t able

to regain control to beat theBulldogs.

Senior Delaney Willard

said she remembers the game

from last year and hopes tocome home with a different

outcome.

“We lost that game and I’mpretty sure we lost it pretty

bad,” Willard said. “I’m just

looking forward to the game[this year] because I know

that they’re great competi-

tion and they’re a good team.

They are the kind of teamthat we have to beat if we

want to make it further intothe tournament this year so Ithink it’s going to be a really

good challenge for our hitters

and for the pitchers.”

Willard is continuing tobe a force at the plate this

season. She is one of only two

players ranked in the top 11

in the nation in batting aver-age, RBIs per game, sluggingpercentage, on base percent-

age, home runs per game

and home runs. She was also

one of five players nationallyrecently cited to the ESPN

Player of the Year watch out.

Willard said she has got-ten this far because of her

hard work and dedication

to the game she loves, not to

mention a team to back herup.

“It’s always good to know

when you put a lot of timeand effort into something,

you get the results you

want,” Willard said. “ I

know my teammates [will]help me too whenever I need

any help.”

Sophomore Tori Almondis also proud to be on a team

with such great chemistry

and camaraderie. Almond

picked up three wins inher last three starts for the

Cougars, holding opponents

to an .086 batting averageand only giving up six hits.

Almond knows she will

have to pitch her best if she

wants to earn another winagainst FSU.

“I’m going to have to make

sure to stay ahead of allthe hitters and make sure

they’re hitting my pitches,”

Almond said. “But I think

if we keep playing the waywe’ve been playing, that

we’re going to have a good

weekend.”Coach Gordon Eakin said

his team is ready for the

challenges that lie ahead

because they know what’sexpected of them.

“Winning is an expecta-

tion,” Eakin said. “Notgiving in is an expectation.

Getting better every day is

an expectation. And I think

this team is becoming spe-cial because it is following

the tradition of the program

and exercising all of thosetraits.”

The Cougars’ three-gameseries can be followed live

on game tracker, whileFresno State may also

stream the games live. BYU

will return to Provo nextweek to face Southern Utah

and Hawaii.

The BYU women’s tennis team

and senior captain MeganPrice play their last homematch of the season Friday.

“It’s going to be a little bitter-

sweet,” Price said. “Obviously,it’s always exciting to play at

home and hopefully we can get

a lot of people out here.”

BYU coach Lauren Jones-Spencer has been coaching ten-

nis at BYU since Price arrived

from Australia to play as a

Cougar in January 2009.“It’s really sad that Megan’s

going to be graduating,” Jones-

Spencer said. “I’ve been heresince she was here, so I’m

really close with Megan. She’s

been a great player and we’rereally going to miss her next

year. Hopefully the girls step

up, perform well and play hard

for her last match of the yearat home.”

Despite it being her lasthome match, Price said shewill treat it as any other, focus-

ing on specific goals.

“I’m going to go out there

and focus and help my teamthrough it because I would love

to finish on a win at home,”

Price said.Price said she’s loved her

time at BYU and with the team.

“It’s been the most amazing

experience I could ever askfor,” Price said. “I’ve played so

many matches, played so many

teams. I’ve met amazing peo-ple; I’ve had the opportunity to

play at an amazing institution

like BYU. I’ve learned a lot

about tennis and I’ve learned

a lot about myself. If anything,

I’ve grown into the person I amnow because of BYU.”

BYU takes on No. 33 St.Mary’s, which is undefeated

in the West Coast Conference.The Gaels (9-4) are coming

off two conference wins over

Gonzaga and Portland and theCougars just narrowly missed

upsetting No. 72 Santa Clara

earlier in the week.

The Cougars and Gaels hitthe courts Friday at noon on

BYU’s outdoor tennis courts.

Admission is free and pizzawill be provided for fans.

The BYU men’s tennis team

continues its six-match road

trip to take on conferenceopponents St. Mary’s and San

Diego.

The Cougars had a seven-match win streak broken by

No. 34 Santa Clara last week-

end and are looking to stay

competitive for the conference

title.BYU coach Brad Pearce said

he had little to be critical of in regard to his team’s perfor-

mance against Santa Clara in

tough weather conditions.

“The first match outdoorsat sea level is always a tough

transition from indoor play at

altitude,” Pearce said. “Thisdynamic was compounded by

playing a night match under

the lights in cold, windy andmuch heavier than normalconditions. The scales were

tipped in [Santa Claras] favor,

but the guys were valiant intheir efforts. I was proud of

them. [Santa Clara] is a good

team, but we hope to meet

them again under different

conditions.”

BYU’s upcoming confer-

ence matches will be criticalin maintaining a presence

to take the conference

and to head to the NCAAchampionships.

“We still have an opportu-

nity to win conference,” senior

Georgy Batrakov said. “We’re

going to keep working toward

that goal and we’re going to

work hard.”Batrakov said the team was

prepared but needs to start

out stronger in doubles andmaintain its intensity and

focus from start to finish.

“If we lose, we lose,”

Batrakov said. “We just keep

going and learn from our

mistakes. We’re definitely

ready for [St. Marys and SanDiego].”

BYU takes on St. Mary’s

in Moraga, Calif., Friday at 2p.m. PST, then travels to San

Diego to play Saturday at

noon PST.

linemen Hebron Fangupo

and Matt Putnam, lineback-ers Jameson Frazier and

Jordan Pendleton (lifted

press to see how many 225

pound repetitions he coulddo. Then the scouts and play-

ers moved into the Indoor

Practice Facility where eachplayer did various drills,

including the broad jump,

3-cone drills and several

Over this General Conference

weekend, BYU’s track andfield teams will divide its

forces between Texas and

Orem.

Most Cougars will competeFriday in Orem in the Utah

Valley University Invite at

the Hal Wing Track and FieldComplex.

“The weather is going to

be phenomenal,” BYU men’s

head coach Mark Robisonsaid. “It just gives some kids

a chance that haven’t had an

opportunity to compete yet,and some that didn’t compete

last week.”

The Cougars competing in

Orem will primarily be fieldevent athletes and those who

did not get into the Texas

Relays. Most distance run-ners will not compete this

weekend in preparation for

the Stanford Invitational next

weekend, which is one of thebiggest meets for distance

runners, Robison said.

Only a handful of Cougarswill travel to the Texas Relays

to compete because of the dif-

ficulty of being invited to the

Thursday-Saturday meet.“Texas is a hard meet to

get in, they do it by rank,”

Robison said.There are only a certain

amount of spots in each

event; therefore most of the

Cougars going south aresprinters and field event

competitors.

Robison considers Texas’venue, which will host region-

als in a few months, one of

the best in the country, sec-ond to Penn State. The sta-dium holds 25,000 people and

is expected to have around

20,000 spectators watchingthis weekend’s meet.

“It is probably the best pole-

vaulting competition for pole-

vaulters before regionals,”women’s pole-vaulting coach

Eric Rasmussen said.

BYU’s Rachel Fisher,Christen Guenther and Victor

Weirich will all compete this

weekend in pole-vault.

“Traditionally, it is a hugemeet,” Rasmussen said. “The

stands are always full and

so it is really exciting. It is agood tradition for pole-vault-

ers to come. Texas has a lot

of good pole-vaulters — it is a

really big deal. We usually geta couple athletes in.”

With favorable jumping

weather and elite competi-tion, Rasmussen hopes Fisher

and Guenther will jump bet-

ter than their previous record

marks.The other athletes compet-

ing in individual events in

Texas include Fanfan Charlesand Jason Hinds in the 100

meter, Chris Carter in the 400

meter hurdles, Keith Kellerand Blaine Baker in the jave-lin and Elizabeth Wilson, who

is currently competing in the

heptathlon.The rest of the Cougars

attending the meet will com-

pete in the relays this Texas

event is known for.“They run every relay you

can imagine,” Robison said.

“They give at the end of the

year an award for the team of the year in different relays.”

However, BYU is only plan-

ning on running a few, for theworkout and to practice the

logistics of the relays, such as

the hand-offs.“It is a really nice facility,

good competition, good fans,

people do spectacular things

here,” Rasmussen said.“That’s what we are hoping

for, something spectacular.”

Some students were raisedto celebrate

John Hickey, a junior major-

ing in chemical engineering,

from Mapleton, said he gainedhis love of holidays from his

mom, who loves to celebrate

occasions, especially AprilFools’ Day.

“[My mom puts] Jello in

our cups that look like drinks,

dirt for dessert with gummyworms, blindfolds us and has

us eat brains (spaghetti), tapesour forks to the table, putsthings in our shoes, plastic

wrap in doorways, [and we]

have dinner for breakfast.”

Hickey tries not to remindpeople about the holiday, so he

can play simple pranks on his

friends.“I look forward to it, but

don’t let others look forward

to it, that is the trick. It’s like a

secret holiday,” he said.Some students were born to

prank

Julia Knecht, a senior major-ing in information systems,

from Mission Viejo, Calif.,

said she has fond memories of

wrapping everything on herco-worker’s desk in foil and

playing similar pranks.

“One of my co-workers gotfree doll heads on KSL and

gradually filled my cubiclewith them throughout the

week,” she said. “By the endof the week there were 527 doll

heads in my cubicle. It was

hilarious.”Knecht’s favorite April

Fools’ Day prank was last year

when her friend and his girl-

friend faked their engagementon Facebook weeks before the

holiday.

“[He] had everyone gettogether for an engagement

party on April 1,” Knecht said.

Knecht suggests if students

are looking for good AprilFools’ Day prank ideas, they

should look for free items on

KSL and put them in theirroommates’ bedrooms.

Others live in fear of the

tricks that come their way

While some students thrive

on the pranks, other studentson campus are scared of all the

tricks.Cooper Howell, a junior

from Santa Monica, Calif., said

no one is safe from embarrass-

ment on April Fools’ Day.“My traditions usually

consist of trying not to take

anything anyone says seri-

ously, especially big news,”

Howell said, claiming he livesin constant fear for a full 24

hours.

“The glitter on the fan trick.The cellophane over the toilet

bowl, honey in the shampoo,

blue food coloring in theshower head, all of which have

happened to me.”

Howell said he hates beingpranked and so he has made

one firm decision.

“I am going to boycott April

Fools’ Day, until I have chil-dren,” he said.

Jokes and pranks are on their way

Although many people dream of goin g to theOlympics, it is only a reality for a few, who may

appear to be distant, rare specimens. But severalCougars are competing in the Olympic trials thissummer, hoping to earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic

track team. Ryan Waite and Miles Batty are two of these athletes.

Taking on a different training schedule than previ-

ous years, both Waite from Oregon in the 800 metersand Batty from Sandy in the 1,500 meters are physi-cally and mentally preparing themselves for one of

the biggest races of their career.“For probably every runner, whether you’re at the

top level or the middle level, you hope you’re going

to be able to be ready in those Olympic years to atleast compete in the Olympic trials,” Waite said. “Ihave been lucky enough to rise up to a more elitelevel, to be able to be in contention to compete at the

Olympic trials.”

There are many logistics that go into hosting thefastest, most talented individuals in the country in

one meet. The first factor, and one of the most impor-tant, is how to get invited.

There are two ways to be invited to compete in

the Olympic track and field trials: through theA standard or the B standard. The A standard isan automatic qualification by hitting a specific

time, height or distance set by USA Track andField. The B standard is a provisional qualifica-tion, meaning there are a set number of athletes

capped for each event and if the spots are notfilled by automatic qualifications, the next fastesttimes are invited to compete.

In the case of both the 800 meters and the 1,500meters, the cap is 30 people. After the trials, the topthree individuals are invited to the Olympic team.

There will be around 1,000 men and women ath-letes competing at the Hayward Field in Oregonfor an audience of 20,000 people. To host that many

elite athletes, the amount of support and volunteer

work is essential.“We are planning for 2,000 volunteers to be work-

ing throughout the whole event,” said Nathan

Woods from TrackTown USA. “There will beanother few hundred workers that will be officials,vendors and staff.”

Qualifying is only the first part of attendingthe Olympic trials; competing is quite anotherproposition.

“It’s one thing to qualify and another to contend,”Batty said.

Although Batty passed the qualification mark bythree seconds last year when he ran a mile in 3 min-

utes, 36.00 seconds, it was before the qualificationwindow beginning May 1, 2011. However, his 1,500meter split in the mile this year was fast enough to

automatically qualify him for the Olympic trials.Waite, on the other hand, is still in the process of

trying to qualify through the A standard. After an

eight-month recovery from knee surgery, he beganhis training last June to prepare for this year.

Waite hasn’t hit the qualifying mark of 1 minute,

46.50 seconds, but he said he is happy where he is,considering all that he has endured. Waite owesmuch of his runnin g success to his supportive fam-

ily, especially his wife.“I had knee surgery and missed the whole season

and I didn’t know if I was going to run again,” Waite

said. “She [his wife] was really supportive, just

encouraging me and telling me, ‘You’ve just got to gofor it because if you don’t you will regret it the restof your life.’”

Despite his injuries, Waite trained diligently andpatiently throughout the season to achieve his twogoals: place at the NCAA Outdoor Championships

and attend the Olympic trials.“That [these goals] just really helped me in every

workout when I was hurting and every run that I

didn’t want to go on,” Waite said. “That was in theback of my mind, knowing that I had less than ayear until the Olympic trials, and I need to get backinto shape.”

June is the month to work toward. The NCAAOutdoor Championships, the biggest collegiate meetof the year, is only two weeks before the eight-day

Olympic trials in Oregon beginning June 22.“Right now I am trying to remember and stay

focused that June is what matters,” Batty said. “It

is really easy to get almost too fit too soon, to whereyou’re running really fast times in April and May

and you’re really burnt and tired by June. It almostsounds counterintuitive but I’m letting myself getout of shape a little so I can give myself something towork for.”

He may not be a leading name going into the trialsbut Batty considers himself in the top five to sevenguys competing in the 1,500 meters. Although the

pressure may seem daunting to many, Batty strives tolive in the present and focus on things in his control.

“Pressure comes from expectations, people think-

ing you have to do something,” Batty said. “I don’thave to do anything; I am just trying to do what Iwant to do.”

Batty considers his placement going into thetrials ideal as a name in the crowd yet not theleading contender.

“You want to get to the point where if you failyou aren’t letting anyone down but yourself,” hesaid. “That is the ideal situation; you want to do it

because you personally want to accomplish it. You

really don’t owe any accomplishments to anyoneexcept for yourself.”

Much of the support and mental drive for Waite

and Batty come from fellow teammates and theircoach, Ed Eyestone. Waite considers his teammateshis best friends.

“We call ourselves 880,” Waite said of the 800 run-ners [the 800 used to be the 880 when the distance wasmeasured in yards instead of meters]. “We think we

are like a boy band or something. They are definitelymy best friends, I have a lot of fun with those guys — I really couldn’t imagine being able to be where I am

running without them.”Batty also finds strength in his team an d family.“I think sometimes those people believe in me

more than I really believe in myself,” Batty said.“Back in high school I remember my dad saying,‘You can do this,’ [speaking of] winning a state cham-

pionship, and I really didn’t think I could, and I did.It really helped knowing that someone else believesin you.”

However, it is not only outside support thatmakes an Olympian, it is also the confidence andpersonal drive.

“Really what it comes down to, people can say whatthey think you can do, but really it comes to what youfeel you can do,” Batty said.

Both give the impression they consider themselves

underdogs being collegiates in the Olympic trials,however, that doesn’t stop them from contending foran Olympic spot.

“I love being in races where I am not expectedto beat someone,” Batty said. “But I really wantto because it really allows you to show what you

can do.”Going to Oregon, Waite’s home turf, both runners

show confidence in their ability to contend for the

Olympic team.“I think if you make the Olympic trials then you

can’t put anything past anybody, ” Waite said. “You

have a shot at it so you might as well go for it.”

London is often associated

with fish and chips, redphone booths, quaint taxi

cabs and Monty Pythonreferences.

But in just a matter of

months, London will host

the 2012 Summer OlympicGames. New architec-

tural features such as the

Aquatics Centre and theOlympic Stadium are under

construction. These will

soon attract plenty of tour-ists eager to decorate theirFacebook pages in pictures

from across the pond. But

don’t let those distract fromother historical wonders

London has to offer. There

are the obvious few, such

as Big Ben or Buckingham

Palace. Take a stroll down

the lane, and there’s a

London most tourists don’tknow about.

Anna-Cajsa Gipson, a BYU

graduate from Enumclaw,Wash., said the simple

things in London make it the

city what it is.“In America, you just

don’t have an old abbey,”

Gipson said.

Gipson has family inLondon and has visited fre-

quently. In addition to theold abbeys and period archi-tecture, her and her three

daughters’ biggest highlight

from their trips to London

is the little-known PrincessDiana Playground in Hyde

Park. The playground

features a replica wooden

pirate ship, teepees and is

complete with guards.“It’s the most interest-

ing playground you’ve ever

seen,” Gipson said.

She is excited about theattention the Olympics

have garnered for the city

and even the new AquaticsCentre. Some of Gipson’s

favorite events are the swim-

ming events. However, she

recommends to not forgetwhy you’re in the cloudy city.

“Plan your priorities,”

Gipson said. “There’s some-thing there for everyone.”

Missy Johnson, a recent

BYU graduate from Sandy,

said in addition to priorities,

don’t get overwhelmed bywhat others say should be

done. Johnson went with herfamily several years ago and

didn’t understand the hype

of places such as Madame

Tussaud’s Wax Museum. Shesaid it was overpriced and

not a lot of fun, except for

children. She preferred thelesser-known journeys, like

the London by Night tours.

She and her family also dida tour on foot about Jack theRipper. They followed his

trail, heard several theories

and stopped at assumed mur-der locations.

She said it was difficult

to navigate the Tube, better

known as the London Metro.There are plenty of lines

with many destinations

along the way. Her brother,Owen Johnson, a senior

studying physics, said a day

can go from good to bad sim-

ply based on transportation.“The metro system is a

good system, but there aretons of different lines,”Johnson said. “Before you

leave your hotel each morn-

ing, make sure you know

how you’re going to getwhere you want to go.”

The Olympics will prob-

ably overshadow any theaterperformances, but if the

opportunity presents itself,

the Globe Theater is a popu-

lar piece of history. This iswhere Shakespeare’s perfor-

mances came to life. Missy

Johnson said she was a littlesurprised when she visited.

“It was smaller than I

anticipated, yet more inti-

mate,” Johnson said.The Olympics herald ath-

letic aptitude and this year,

architectural antiquitiesrarely seen in other places

will underline the brillianceof the venue. And if planned

well, you may be more than atypical tourist of London.

“Be willing to explore,”

Missy Johnson said. “Godown alleys, and down nooks

and crannies.”

With all of the inspira-

tional sports films aboutathletes overcoming

obstacles to be the best,

you would think therewould be a lot more on the

Olympics. Stories of under-

dog Olympic athletes seem

to come out of every event,but Hollywood does not

think they are worth the

time or money. So compi l-

ing a list of five Olympicfilms is a challenge, espe-

cially films younger than

20 years old. Since I alreadycovered “Chariots of Fire”

in a previous article, here

are five other films to jump-start your Olympic fever:

Blades of Glory: The

sports movie for people

who are not sports fans,this wacky film follows

disgraced figure skaters

Will Ferrell and Jon Heder(a.k.a. Napoleon Dynamite)

who exploit a loophole to

compete in pairs figureskating. All of the Will

Ferrell comedy tropes are

present; from the man-child

lead character to the out of nowhere romance subplot

to the obligatory gross-out

gags. Yet it manages tostick its landing thanks to

a competent director, some

clever gags and a fun sup-

porting cast including WillArnett, Amy Poehler, Craig

T. Nelson and the lovely

Jenna Fisher.Cool Runnings: The

story of Jamaica’s 1988

Olympic bobsledding team

may not scream inspira-tional movie, but some

Disney producer decided to

give it a try with this 1993release. Directed by John

Turtletaub (who went on to

direct “National Treasure”),

the film certainly has itsfair share of Disney-isms,

like some “goofy” char-

acters and childish jokes.

Nevertheless, it is a fun

sports film with genuine

heart and an entertaining

cast, led by the late JohnCandy.

The Cutting Edge: This

gloriously ’90s romanticcomedy follows a figure

skating diva and a washed

up hockey player who

begrudgingly pair up tocompete in the Olympics. If

you have seen any romantic

comedy or underdog sportsfilm, you will know exactly

what to expect from that

premise. Light-hearted,entertaining, well madeand nicely acted, it is a

good date movie for the

sports-loving couple.Miracle: Praised by

critics and fans alike,

“Miracle” follows the story

of the 1980 U.S. Olympichockey team and fearless

coach Herb Brooks as they

challenge the “unstop-

pable” Soviet Union team.

The film rises above being

a very straightforward

sports film thanks tosuperb filmmaking and

a strong cast, led by Kurt

Russell in arguably his bestperformance.

Without Limits: Robert

Towne directed this 1998

film following legendaryOlympic runner Steve

Prefontaine, from his

humble origins in Oregonto his untimely demise at

age 24. Though a box-officeflop due to bad market-

ing, the film managed togarner critical praise for

its insightful look into the

relationships Prefontainebuilt as he went on to break

several world records.

Donald Sutherland gar-

nered a Golden Globenomination for his winning

portrayal of Prefontaine’s

coach, Steve Bowerman.

Go for gold: Five Olympic films to check outStories of underdog

Olympic athletes

seem to come out

of every event, but

Hollywood does

not think they are

worth the time or

money. So compiling

a list of five Olympic

films is a challenge,

especially filmsyounger than

20 years old.

As the host city of the 2012

Olympics, London will be thetemporary home of people

from 216 countries. With

such diversity, communica-tion between ambassadors,

athletes and spectators can

be a logistical and linguistic

nightmare. BYU professorGiovanni Tata isn’t too con-

cerned. Thanks to Tata and

his crew of programmers,

there’s an app for that — TheOlympic Translator is due to

launch in May.

Tata, director of creativeworks at BYU, said the

idea behind the app is to

streamline communicationby making sure people can

understand one another.

“The idea is that if you

communicate with somebodyand give them commands you

want to make sure that you’reconveying the right message,because otherwise you could

create a lot of confusion if

you give the wrong directions

or the wrong commands,”

Tata said. “That’s what ourpurpose was, to provide a tool

that people could have some

confidence in using.”Tata, who had previously

helped to create the language

training software used in the

2002 Olympics, said develop-ment of the new translator

app began nearly three years

ago when he was contactedby a committee formed by

The Church of Jesus Christ

of Latter-day Saints to assist

with preparations for theOlympic games in London.

Tata agreed to make the app

available to the Olympics andset to work.

“So basically what we

decided to do is to start col-

lecting a lot of phrases thatcould be used during the

Olympics in a variety of situ-

ations,” Tata said. “Like inemergency services, like for

the police, but especially forthe volunteers who are going

to give directions to the tour-ists and athletes alike.”

With the help of many

volunteers Tata and the

translation team have col-

lected close to 6,000 phrasesthat will be pre-programmed

into the app. Tata said the

task of creating an app thatcan bridge so many language

barriers is extremely taxing,

but luckily he and his crew

didn’t have to start fromscratch.

“This Olympic Translator

will work in conjunction withGoogle [Translate],” Tata

said. “Though it will have all

these thousands of phrases,we can’t think of all thephrases that could possibly be

used.”

Isaac Davis, a junior study-ing computer science at BYU,

works as a programmer for

the project developing the

interface for the Android plat-form. Isaac’s brother Brian,

who is also studying com-

puter science, is developing

the iOS interface for Appleproducts. One of the things

the Davis brothers are most

excited for is how the appautomatically updates trans-

lations added by users.

“If you say a phrase it’ll

come up and if we don’t

have it in our database it’llshow a Google phrase,”

Isaac said. “The user can

then hit ‘yes this is correct’or the user can hit ‘edit’ and

then when they hit submit it

sends it to our database.”

According to Isaac and

Brian this app is like aWikipedia for translations.

The more translations that

users add, the more com-prehensive the app will

become.

Perform with the Young Ambassadors on their 2013 Tour to China

By Mason Porter

It’s a week before his two-night event at Velour Live

Music Gallery, and Joshua

James is in his backyard,

helping his wife trimtheir goats’ hooves. James

recently returned from play-

ing eight shows at SXSW in

Austin, Texas, showcasinga batch of new songs that

will appear on his forthcom-

ing record. This weekend’sProvo shows won’t be as

prestigious as his perfor-

mances at SXSW, but Jamessaid he looks forward to

playing for the hometown

audience.

“It can be nerve-rackingbecause you’re playing for

your buddies, but at thesame time I’m very comfort-able playing here,” he said.

“We just did a free show in

American Fork, and it was

one of my all-time favoriteshows. There were so many

people there that I knew

and this is where I started

playing music, so for me

it’s very much a hometownfeel.”

Sharing the limelight

at Velour this weekend isJames’ longtime friend

Isaac Russell, current bass-

ist and Columbia Records

recording artist. Russell hasreturned to Utah from Los

Angeles to continue work

on his debut full-lengthalbum. He said he’s happy

to be back in the music

scene that nurtured him as

a young artist.“The crowds at Velour are

always really nice,” he said.

“It’s really a home awayfrom home for me. Great

times and great people.”The Joshua James vs.

Isaac Russell event, as it’sbeen advertised, will be a

homecoming of sorts for the

nationally recognized art-ists. Despite the competitive

nature of the title and vin-tage Irish boxing poster art,

Corey Fox, Velour’s owner,

said his intent is to create

an intimate atmospherebetween the performers and

the audience.

Fox said he originallyconcocted the idea for a

“versus” show about five

years ago, although hefirst intended to featureJames and Brinton Jones,

current frontman of The

Devil Whale. With Russell’srecent relocation to Provo,

however, Fox decided it was

a good time to resurrect

his vision for a songwritershowcase.

“This will be a variation

of my original concept,”

Fox said. “The first nightwill have both artists play-

ing on stage with full bands,

and the second night willbe a stripped-down floor

setup with the audience sur-

rounding the performers.”Fox said spreading the

event over two nights will

let people choose which

type of show they wouldrather see and also allow

more people to attend.Having been present for

the nascent period of both

performers’ music careers,

Fox said he’s been lucky

to watch them grow fromfledgling open-mic perform-

ers to nationally recognized

artists.“They’ve toured the world

and shared the stage with

the likes of Adele, John

Mayer, Jacob Dylan, PeteYorn and others,” Fox said.

“I’m very proud of them

and I’m honored they stillchoose to play Velour.”

Because of the popular-

ity of both artists, Fox said

he expects both shows tosell out. Tickets can be pur-

chased in advance either at

Velour or online at 24tix.com. Fox said Saturday’s

show has very limited seat-ing, so it will most likely

sell out before the Fridayshow.

Even though James and

Russell have achieved con-siderable success outside

the local music scene, Fox

said they maintain the

humility and work ethicthat got them to where they

are now.

“I think both of them

keep a pretty good balanceof being successful artists

and living a normal life,”

he said. “Joshua is a rockclimbing, goat raising,

organic farmer, and Isaac is

a normal kid barely out of

his teens.”Russell, who just turned

20 at the beginning of the

year, said he’s currentlyworking on solidifying his

sound, preparing to record

the follow-up to his 2010

self-titled EP.

“I’ve been writing andworking on getting my

sound to be concrete,” hesaid. “I’m working to get

stuff placed in a movie

or TV show because I feel

like that’s the best way formy style of music to gain

popularity in an organic

way.”

James, on the other hand,has finished work on his third

album and is in the process

of talking to various labels.

It was engineered, producedand mixed by Richard Swift,

who currently plays keyswith The Shins. James hasalso been working on a

Modest Mouse covers record

that he plans to release for

free later this year.For both artists, this

weekend’s event signifies a

return to their roots, and,for James at least, it pro-

vides perspective on how

fortunate he is to be able to

make a living doing what heloves.

“Music does it for me.

It fills me up,” he said.“It’s insane to me that this

is what I get to do. I am

beyond grateful for the life

that I’ve chosen.”

Ninja turtles arising froma puddle of radioactive goo

with amazing super powers

is a little difficult to believe,yet fans across the world have

accepted it. What may be

even more difficult to believe

are ninjas coming from other

planets to our world.Michael Bay, the

“Transformers” director,announced last week he

will make another “Teenage

Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie.

His new screen adaptationwill feature teenage mutant

ninja aliens. The movie

is expected to be releasedChristmas 2013. This new

idea has caused a stir and

even outrage among fans. Inhis response, Bay has askedfans to “breathe and chill,” in

a statement he made on his

webpage.Jacob Van Vliet, studying

information systems at UVU,

was shocked by news of the

movie. He said he wishesthey would make a TV series

based on the old TMNT.

“I thought it was really

dumb,” Vliet said. “How canyou remake TMNT and say

aliens? How will they learn to

love pizza?”Phillip Swan, from

Mapleton, grew up on the ninja

turtles. He said he loved theaction, the pizza and just the

humor of the turtles. He isn’tlooking forward to the movie

but still gives it some hope.

“I think it’s a bad idea,”Swan said. “But if he holds

true to the old movie formats

they should be sweet.”

Bay told fans he is work-ing closely with the original

creators of “Ninja Turtles”

to help expand and create amore complex back story, and

that they are going to create a

“richer world” for the turtles.

Fans are still not too fondof the whole alien idea. The

movie format will definitely

have fans on the edge of theirseats. Alex Christensen,

studying computer science,

was surprised at the change

in the story. He said they were

changing too much.“If you change the story

that fundamentally, it’s nolonger the Ninja Turtles,”

Christensen said. “It’s a new

story.”

Greg Vandagriff, fromMonett, Mo., is not too upset

about the change. He thinks

fans are overreacting andneed to just get over it.

“I cannot imagine how bor-

ing your life would have to bein order to claim any amountof emotional distress over a

franchise consisting of over-

sized turtles who eat pizzaand fight crime while yelling

‘Cowabunga!’ as Vanilla Ice

raps,” Vandagriff said.

Director Michael Bay ignited controversy last week when heannounced changes to the plot of his upcoming “TeenageMutant Ninja Turtles” movie.
