...raced 1,049 feet around the MAC Quad in the Alaska Klub’s simulation of the Alaskan Iditarod Saturday. The Klub contest’s winners received 1,049 ounces of beer instead of the generous monetary award for winners of the official Iditarod, a 1,049 mile race from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska that ended on Saturday. Five members of each human Iditarod team ran around the MAC Quad, pulling the ropes attached to a homemade sled on which the sixth team member sat. The prize went to the hotter non-contiguous state, as members...
...subtlety that film can't match. Michael Mann, whose 2004 Collateral was, he says, "the first photo-real use of digital," is using the same process to shoot the big-screen version of his old Miami Vice TV series. "In the nightscapes in Collateral, you're seeing buildings a mile away. You're seeing clouds in the sky four or five miles away. On film that would all just be black...
...Tomorrow is cheaper to run. That's because it can be adjusted to race on different kinds of tracks, which means that a single team doesn't have to enter different cars in different races.

...Conroy is also a Crimson photo editor. While much of the training has been done on an individual basis, many participants choose to train together, Conroy said. Members of HCMC described the intensity of training as grueling. “When you go out for a 17 or 18 mile run on Saturday morning, you’re pretty much done for the rest of the day,” said McNamara. “If you look at a map of Boston, there are all these distant places,” said participant Peter...
Three thousand, two hundred kilometers, two thosand miles: that is the length of the United States-Mexico border, an already politically-charged stretch of terrain that could soon be fortified with a 698-mile, two-layered fence if House Bill 4437 becomes law. To the common U.S. citizen, it may seem like this “wall” will alleviate domestic immigration tensions, preventing undocumented workers from entering U.S. soil. In reality, this frail three-foot high metal fence, a product of popular misconceptions about immigration, is unlikely to significantly reduce undocumented immigration and merely serves as a symbol...
