Muslim woman’s Playboy pics cause outcry
Sila Sahin, a 25-year-old Turkish German living in Berlin, had until now been regarded as a glowing example of how a modern Muslim girl should behave in a multicultural society. A successful actress starring in German television soap opera Good Times, Bad Times, she pleased her many fans and made her Turkish family proud. But her latest move has shocked some of those fans, and enraged those closest to her. Posing provocatively on the cover of German Playboy magazine with one breast exposed, Sila Sahin is apparently sending a clear and deliberate message to her conservative Turkish family. 'I did it because I wanted to be free at last,' she said. 'These photographs are a liberation from the restrictions of my childhood.' Her family have, unsurprisingly, reacted with horror, and her mother has cut off all contact with the actress. 'My mother is still angry. It will be even more difficult with my grandparents, my aunts and my uncles,' she said on the website devoted to her television soap. She has, however, managed to talk to her actor father, who expressed concern over the pressure she will inevitably face from those not only within the Turkish community in Germany, but from the wider Muslim community as a whole. Sahin's declared intention was to used the controversial Playboy photoshoot as a call to action for other Muslim girls who suffer the effects of their strict backgrounds, where women's choices are often limited, husbands are chosen for the girls and chastity closely controlled. - Daily Mail

BOSTON (AP) — The 115th Boston Marathon has begun.
Thewheelchair field was first across the starting line in Hopkinton onMonday morning, followed by the elite women. Then the clock started onthe elite men and the sold-out field of 26,964 other runners traversingthe 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston's Back Bay.
Itwas the largest field for the race except for the 100th anniversaryrace in 1996. The unprecedented interest filled out the available spotsin just eight hours, breaking the previous record of 65 days andforcing race organizers to change the process for next year's race.
The Boston Athletic Association also changed the start so that the field goes off in three waves of about 9,000 runners apiece.
Yuri Gagarin proved humans have future in space
It was the Soviet Union's own giant leap for mankind, one thatwould spur a humiliated United States to race for the moon. It happened 50 years ago Tuesday, when an air force pilot named Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. The 27-year-old cosmonaut's mission lasted just 108 minutes and was fraught with drama: a break in data transmission, glitches involving antennas, a retrorocket and the separation of modules. And there was an overarching question that science had yet to answer: What would weightlessness do to a human being? "There were all kinds of wild fears that a man could lose his mind in zero gravity, lose his ability to make rational decisions," recalls Oleg Ivanovsky, who oversaw the construction and launch of the Vostok spacecraft that carried Gagarin. The flight was to be fully automatic, but what if weightlessness caused Gagarin to go mad and override the programmed controls? The engineers' solution was to add athree-digit security code that the cosmonaut would have to enter to gain command of the spacecraft. It proved unnecessary. The flightwent off safely, and the handsome Russian with the big smile became a poster boy for the communist world, still a national idol 43 years after his death in a jet training accident, and remembered with enormous affection by the last surviving pioneers of the Soviet space program at Star City outside Moscow, where he trained. From the stern and uncompromising chief designer, Sergei Korolyov, to young nursesand rank-and-file launch pad workers, "people loved, really loved him," Ivanovsky said in a telephone interview.

JFK airport collision shows risks of huge planes
NEW YORK - A frightening collision between one of the world's largest airliners and a commuter jet on a dark, wet tarmac at John F. Kennedy International Airport is underscoring worries about ground accidents as U.S. airports begin handling a new generation of giant planes. A total of 586 passengers and crew members were aboard the two aircraft Monday night when the left wing of an Airbus A380 operated by Air France clipped a Bombardier CRJ-700 regional jet flown by Comair, spinning the smaller plane nearly 90 degrees. No one was injured. The superjumbo Airbus is so immense — as tall as a seven-story building, with a wing span as wide as a Manhattan block — that its wing almost cleared the smaller plane. But not quite. "It's the sheer size of these aircraft and the congestion at these airports that's the problem," said Allan Tamm, a consultant with Avicor Aviation, based in Portland, Ore.

Fashionably late ‘Everygirl’ Maria Menounos
“EveryGirl’s Guide to Life” scribe Maria Menounos, who advises readers to “be proud of your body, but not obvious,” is no stranger to the wardrobe malfunction.So when the “Access Hollywood” honey came to town over the weekendin a white minidress that could have caused an oopsie moment like heron-the-beach bikini brouhaha in Miami last January, the girl broke heralways-on-time mantra.
“I had to stop and get a slip,” Maria told the Track at a book brunch bash at 94 Mass. Ave., where she kept guests waiting for 45 minutes. “That’s why I was late!”

Access Hollywood'' host Maria Menounos told She’s got the answers teens want to know
“Saved By the Bell’’ and “Showgirls’’ actress Elizabeth Berkley’s side gig has turned into a full-time job. Besides acting, which she’s done over the last few years on shows such as “CSI: Miami,’’ Berkley has become a popular self-help guru for girls and has been traveling the country to promote her book “Ask Elizabeth: Real Answers to Everything You Secretly Wanted to Ask About Love, Friends, Your Body . . . and Life in General,’’ which placed No. 2 this week on The New York Times Bestsellers List of children’s paperback books.
On Friday, her book tour brought her to Medford High School where she spoke to a girls-only assembly. Berkley told us yesterday that Medford High was added to her list of visits because Medford-bred “Access Hollywood’’ host Maria Menounos told her to go there. “She said, ‘When you’re in Boston, you have to go to my high school,’’’ Berkley said, adding that she was thrilled to be surrounded by so many local ladies during the “town hall-style’’ talk.
