This is a fine screen, but it's not quite up to the level that I was hoping for with it's price tag. The backlight color temperature is uneven. It's most accurate on the left third of the screen, too yellow in the middle, and too blue on the right. I have tested two of these units and they exhibit the same behavior. The right side is also slightly dimmer than the rest (not due to their dynamic contrast). When viewing photos, this is harder to notice, but it's more obvious with solid colored windows. I suspect this is because ASUS is depending on the fewest number of LEDs possible to light the screen and the diffuser can't work miracles. There is also some noticeable bleed around the edges on both units I tested. Aside from the above deficiencies, the rest of the device is excellent. The color accuracy and gamut is great and the colors appear consistent when viewed from most angles. This is much better than a TN panel, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to live with the flaws I described above with a premium screen like this.
Real Estate, Real Estate, Real Estate! It's all about the Desktop Real Estate! I bought 2 of these to run dual for an effective Desktop Real estate of 5120X1440 (2560X1440 X 2) I was running dual 24" @ 3840 X 1200 before these, but this is now just awesome! I did not realize how crappy my old Dell 2407's have become until I got these new PB278Q. I have no problems with the Monitors, 1 of them has a tiny red dead pixel, but amazing that it's only 1 considering each monitor has millions of pixels. The only problems I'm having are not the Monitors themselves, the problem is with DisplayPort, I purchased a new Video Card because my old Radeon 5450 only had 1 - DVI-DL + 1 HDMI + 1 VGA (BTW VGA is worthless, I don't know why they still put VGA on when nobody uses it anymore as it degrades picture quality) HDMI does NOT run 2560X1440 Resolution) I had to buy a new Radeon HD 7770 dual Mini DP ports. The Monitors don't come out of sleep, I have yet to REALLY figure out the freaking problem, cables, drivers, What? It does not happen if one monitor is connected to DVI-DL, only the DP connected Monitor(s) It's not the Monitors problem, it's DisplayPort. Google it, there are complaints all over about it, but I have yet to find a REAL solution as of 10-12-2013 I've only read a whole lot of BS about this problem.

Early vote short of record
Last-minute voters filed into the Carter County Courthouse Thursday for the final day of early voting, but officials say fewer participated this year than in the 2008 presidential election.
Early voting ended at 4 p.m., but those standing in line at that time were permitted to cast their vote. Carter County resident Kathy Whittemore was the last in line at closing time.
"I voted early to miss the rush," Whittemore said.
She said last year was the first time she had early voted, and she decided to vote on Thursday to miss Election Day crowds next week.

Two men who have given outstanding off-field service to Rugby League over many decades had their contributions recognised today (Sunday) when they were inducted on to the RFL Roll of Honour.
The Roll of Honour was introduced in 2003 and recognises individuals who have performed exceptionally on behalf of the game over a long period of time as administrators and/or volunteers.
Tim Adams and Jim Spencer were formally inducted at the Rugby League Lions' luncheon, an event which is staged annually in aid of the RFL Benevolent Fund.
Adams was inducted for his contribution to the game as a club director with Sheffield Eagles and Huddersfield Giants, as well as his outstanding contribution to the RFL Benevolent Fund, on which he serves as Chairman.
Jim Spencer QC has been a key figure in the RFL disciplinary process for more than 20 years, during which time he has served as Chairman of the disciplinary committee and been a cornerstone of the legal support service given to the RFL.
Welcoming both men on to the Roll of Honour, RFL Chief Operating Officer Ralph Rimmer paid tribute to their selfless efforts.
"On behalf of everyone involved in Rugby League, I would like to congratulate Jim and Tim on their deserved induction on to the Roll of Honour," said Rimmer.
"The important role that volunteers play in sport has captured the headlines since the Olympics and it is right and proper that the expertise, the energy and the time that Tim and Jim have invested in Rugby League over many years is recognised in this way."

|Trossachs Bird of Prey Trail , The Trossachs, Stirling, GB
Welcome to the Trossachs Bird of Prey Trail – your guide of where to watch some of Scotland's most magnificent wildlife!
Seeing a bird of prey in the wild can be an incredible experience. As they soar high above us, or hover, motionless as if on an invisible thread, they embody a freedom and power that few other creatures can touch. The rarity of these experiences adds to their allure, and chance encounters on the road, or on the hills, become memories to be treasured.
Travelling on The Trossachs Bird of Prey trail will hopefully give you the chance to create your own unique memories. This 25 mile circular driving route runs from Aberfoyle to Doune, and its path will take you from the flat lowlands of the Carse of Stirling, to the rugged glory of the Duke's Pass; from farmland to moorland, bog to mountain. The varied and dramatic landscapes along its route offer the perfect habitat for up to 13 species of bird of prey. How many will you be lucky enough to spot?
Trail basics
The Trossachs Bird of Prey Trail is designed to be driven, and can be visited at any time of the year, though the wildlife will constantly change throughout the seasons (see HERE for more details as to what you might see when). For your best chance of seeing ospreys, hen harriers, or even golden eagles, keep stopping at the points marked on the map, where you will be able to take part in an activity. Whether it's walking at Glen Finglas, fishing at the Lake of Menteith, or even having a cup of tea at Venachar Lochside, your chances of seeing something will greatly increase the longer you stay in the area.
Follow the Trail MAP for the best route, and check out our ACTIVITIES pages from places to go, eat and stay in the area.

Stunning Stoner equals pole record
World champion Casey Stoner equalled the all-time record for pole positions in a season ahead of Sunday's Valencia Grand Prix.
The Australian has been the king of one-lap pace this year and again underlined his prowess on Saturday, his best lap of one minute 31.861 seconds enough to secure his 12th pole of the campaign.
Stoner's lap, posted on a drying track after a rain-affected weekend to this point, means he equals five-time 500cc world champion Mick Doohan's record for most poles in a season.
The Repsol Honda rider, who wrapped up his second MotoGP crown on home soil in Australia last month, lapped over a second quicker than team-mate Dani Pedrosa in second, while the factory Yamaha of Ben Spies will line up third for the final race of the season.
"Of course I'm really happy with pole position today, I'm still hungry to win and get pole positions, after all this is why I line up to go racing," said Stoner.
"Winning the championship is the bonus at the end of the season, but I still try my best in every session and every race.
"The feeling in the bike was pretty good. Now we'll have to see what the weather does tomorrow and take it from there, but we remain confident."
Pramac Racing's Randy de Puniet will start from the front of row two, posting a time just 0.061secs slower than Spies, while Alvaro Bautista (Rizla Suzuki) will line up fifth and Valentino Rossi (Ducati) sixth.
Ducati's Nicky Hayden heads the third row from Andrea Dovizioso (Repsol Honda) and Hector Barbera (Mapfre Aspar), while Karel Abraham (Cardion AB Motoracing), Britain's Cal Crutchlow (Yamaha Tech 3) and Pramac's Loris Capirossi make up row four.
Sunday's race is the first since the death of Italian rider Marco Simoncelli in an accident at the Malaysian Grand Prix a fortnight ago.
MotoGP organisers confirmed there would be a ceremony at 10.10am local time on Sunday to honour the 24-year-old Italian, who rode for the Gresini Honda team.
All the riders from the MotoGP, Moto2 and 125cc classes will depart the pit lane en masse and complete a lap of the track in honour of Simoncelli.
The procession will be led by Simoncelli's Honda Gresini RC212V bike, which will be ridden by 1993 world champion Kevin Schwantz.
A statement by MotoGP organisers added: "As the riders round the final corner of the circuit and approach the finish line they will stop just short, with local authorities and representatives of MotoGP's governing bodies congregating on the other side of the finish line alongside Simoncelli's family and members of the Gresini team.
"Once the bikes have taken up their positions on the start/finish straight a two-minute Valencian Mascleta (a traditional firecracker display) will take place."

AM would like to introduce The Watch Snob. It's time to hide your Swatch and come forward with your pressing timepiece questions.
Certain things like acid-washed jeans lose their luster, but modern design classic watches will never go out of style.
Between the type to buy, the band, and all those terms, buying a watch can be befuddling. Let's clarify things.
As luxury watches show no sign of being supplanted by something less extravagant - like sweatbands - we've prepared a primer for you.
You don't need to drop $10,000 on a Rolex. These less expensive alternatives will have you looking just as dapper.
Here are 6 more delightfully stylish watches you'll be able to sport without breaking the bank.
Owning a stylish wristwatch doesn't have to put you in the poorhouse.
The '70s are back with a vengeance and LIP France, finally available in the U.S., is picking up the trend in full swing.
If you're a timepiece enthusiast, you'll be making your pilgrimage to Switzerland's "Watch Valley" sooner or later. Here's your guide.
Slip your wrist into something a little more stylish this season with your favorite pick from Diesel's eclectic 2008 Basel watch collection.
All men should adorn their wrist with a watch, whether it's a Breitling or a Tag. It's not just about time, it's all about class.
If you're sick of your classic, conservative watch, check out these 5 timely styles that will make you the man of the hour.
A quality watch is the quickest way to portray an image of confidence and success.
We're not used to seeing high-priced models from this watchmaker. Do its features justify the expense?
Get them while you can -- only 1,000 of these Monaco Anniversary Edition watches have been released.
If Mad Men's vintage-inspired style has caught your eye, we've found a modern-day watch equivalent that passes the test of time.
Once relegated to the wrists of geeks, the Casio G-Shock has become the digital watch of choice for the fashion conscious.
Launched in 1919, this timeless piece of horological luxury will be finding its way onto many Christmas lists this year.
It takes a real man (with a real paycheck) to sport this number from Panerai.
If this watch can withstand being ejected from a moving aircraft, we're thinking it's probably durable enough for you.

Daigneault: Disgraceful exit overshadowed Edsall's miracle
|FILE - This Nov. 5, 2011 file photo shows Maryland head coach Randy Edsall reacting on the sideline in the final moments of the second half of an NCAA college football game against Virginia, in College Park, Md. Bouncing back from last year's 2-10 disaster just got a whole lot more challenging for Maryland following a season-ending injury to C.J. Brown. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)
STORRS -- Through the fog of anger and the cloud of utter confusion surrounding Randy Edsall's departure from UConn, something vitally important was forgotten: Without Edsall and the work he did, the Huskies might still be waiting to make a mark in big-time college football.
Edsall took a Division I-AA program that was marginally mediocre — one playoff game that took 100 years to reach — and led it to a bowl game in his sixth season. Conventional wisdom holds that at least a decade is necessary for any team moving up a level to enjoy being competitive.

CNET reporter Daniel Terdiman came through this week as part of Road Trip 2010 and made sure to spend some time looking at some of the most famous airplanes in history.
As a fan of the terrific film "The Right Stuff," Terdiman couldn't resist the allure of this plane, the Bell X-1, in which Chuck Yeager became the first pilot ever to surpass the sound barrier. The plane has a 28-foot wingspan, is 30 feet, 11 inches long, and a total of 10 feet, 10 inches tall. It weighs 12,250 pounds and was made by Bell Aircraft company in 1946.

With the flight completed, Lindbergh collected the $25,000 prize offered by hotel baron Raymond Orteig to be the first person to fly directly between New York and Paris.
Gemini IV, which was launched on top of a Titan II rocket, is 11 feet high, has a maximum diameter of 7 feet 6 inches, and weighs 7,000 pounds. It was made by McDonnell Aircraft for NASA.
Built by Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites and financed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, the ship's feat ushered in the private space age.
According to the museum, "The Apollo-Soyuz test project marked a brief thaw in the Cold War and the first time that the two rivals cooperated in a manned space mission."
Over the course of the project, the crews from the two spacecraft visited each others' vessels, ate together and worked on joint projects.
According to the museum, this X-45 carried out 40 sorties, and became the first autonomous flight of a high-performance, combat UAV. The program lasted until 2005.
The drones went into service in the late 1980s, and this one was used in the 1991 Gulf War.
This UAV is notable for the fact that during a low pass near Kuwait City, several Iraqi soldiers made it clear as it was going overhead that they intended to surrender, marking the first time soldiers had surrendered to a UAV.
The Pershing-II was deployed by the Americans in West Germany starting in 1983 and was aimed at western Soviet targets. It could carry a single thermonuclear warhead with a maximum explosive force of 50 kilotons. Because of the INF, all Pershing-II's were eliminated. This was a training version of the missile.
The SS-20 was one of the Soviet Union's mobile intermediate-range ballistic missiles and carried up to three thermonuclear warheads with a total maximum explosive force of 250 kilotons. It was deployed at 48 bases in the Soviet Union, and could strike Western Europe and Asia. The INF required that the SS-20, like the Pershing-II, be eliminated. This is also a training version.

Auxiliary to the
Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War,
Tulsa Oklahoma
The Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War and their Allied Orders are the officially recognized successors of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.), a fraternal order founded by Union veterans after the Civil War. Our mission today is commemorative, historical and ceremonial.
As a member of the Allied Orders, we strive to assist the Sons of Union Veterans in keeping alive the memories of our ancestors and their sacrifices for the maintenance of the Union, to aid in caring for helpless and disabled Veterans, and to properly observe Memorial Day.
Chartered from the National Auxiliary to the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War which began in 1884, Rachel Cormany Auxiliary No. 2 was founded in 2005, and is the official Auxiliary to the Indian Nations Camp No. 3 Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) , located in Tulsa Oklahoma. Please contact the ASUVCW national organization for membership information if you live outside of northeastern Oklahoma.
This Auxiliary is named for Rachel Bowman, wife of Samuel Cormany of the 16th Volunteer Pennsylvania Cavalry. For more information on her remarkable life, please read the "Rachel Cormany namesake" page.
Preserving history and promoting ideals of patriotism is as relevant today as it was in the year 1884. Our growing membership consists of a wide range of backgrounds, professions and ages. Some members of Rachel Cormany Auxiliary No. 2 are genealogists, others enjoy Civil War history, or collect Civil War memorabilia.
We all share a love for our ancestors and relatives who gave to their country, that we should continue to be "One Nation Under God". Visitors are warmly welcomed at our meetings.
With the assistance of Rachel Cormany Auxiliary No. 2, Indian Nations Camp No. 3 SUVCW, dedicated a monument to veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic on May 30, 2008 at Rose Hill Cemetery. We were joined by CBS affiliate KOTV. A link to their article and video can be found HERE.

If you step back and analyze the process of communication, you will realize that it's actually a fairly difficult one, where a lot can get lost in translation. The upshot, however, is that the communication loop between one person and another can be decoded and improved upon. In pursuit of this improvement, we'll take a look at what goes in to a communication loop—be it written, drawn, spoken, etc. And then we'll go over five ways to make yourself better at simply getting your point across.
The Communication Process (Via Mindtools)
Source > Message > Encoding > Message > Channel > Message > Decoding > Message > Receiver > Feedback
The above communication process details each step that must occur for a piece of information to be communicated. It starts in your brain (the source), is put in some sort of message form, like the written or spoken word (encoded), and then passes it through a channel (blog, telephone, book, television), where the receiver interprets it (decodes), and then gives feedback.
Now that you see everything that occurs in the transaction between source and receiver, you can better understand the ways in which your communication often gets garbled, distilled, altered, or lost. The opportunity, as mentioned above, is understanding this loop. Part of this understanding is just seeing it fleshed out—like you just did. But here are five keys that can help you take advantage of the communication loop.
Becoming a courteous and coherent communicator can take you far in this world. Perfecting these steps will get you on the right path.

LIFE AND LETTERS about the writer's novel, "A Clockwork Orange." The writer first published the book "A Clockwork Orange" in 1962. Nearly ten years after its publication, its title and content became known to millions because of Stanley Kubrick's very close film interpretation. The writer first heard the expression "as queer as a clockwork orange" in a London pub before the Second World War. It's an old Cockney slang phrase, implying a queerness or madness so extreme as to subvert nature. In 1961, the writer began to write a novel about curing juvenile delinquency. He had read somewhere that it would be a good idea to liquidate the criminal impulse through aversion therapy; he was appalled. He began to work out the implications of this notion in a brief work of fiction. The hero of both the book and the film is a young thug called Alex. He rejoices in articulate language and even invents a new form of it; he loves beauty, which he finds in Beethoven's music above everything; he is aggressive. With his companions, he terrorizes the streets of a great city at night. The young antihero is arrested, and the Home Office or Ministry of the Interior introduces a form of aversion therapy guaranteed to eliminate criminal propensities forever. Alex is injected with a substance that brings on extreme nausea, and the onset of nausea is deliberately associated with the enforced viewing of films about violence. Soon he cannot contemplate violence without feeling desperately sick. He is forced to walk a tightrope of imposed "goodness." The state has gone too far: it has entered a region beyond its covenant with the citizen; it has closed to its victim a whole world of non-moral goodness. What the writer was trying to say was that it is better to be bad of one's free will than to be good through scientific brainwashing. B. F. Skinner's book "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" came out at the very time that "A Clockwork Orange" first appeared on the screen, ready to demonstrate the advantages of what we may call beneficent brainwashing. Given the right positive inducements, Skinner argues, we shall all become better citizens, submissive to a state that has the good of the community at heart. That the writer considers any kind of conditioning wrong must be accounted, he supposes, to the strength of Catholic tradition in which he was reared. The maintenance of a complex society depends increasingly on routine work, work with no zest or creativity. One of the slogans of George Orwell's superstate in "1984" is "Freedom is slavery." This can be taken to mean that the burden of making one's own choices is, for many people, intolerable. Perhaps there is something to be said for conformity in social life when our working lives have so little room for rugged individualism. But when patterns of conformity are imposed by the state, then one has a right to be frightened. It is significant that the nightmare books of our age have not been about new Draculas and Frankensteins but about what may be termed dystopias—inverted utopias, in which an imagined megalithic government brings human life to an exquisite pitch of misery. Mentions Sinclair Lewis's "It Can't Happen Here" and Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World." It would seem that enforced conditioning of the mind, however good the social intention, has to be evil.

Charles-Étienne Briseux, Traité du beau essentiel dans les arts, appliqué particulièrement à l'architecture (1752).
Clark Lecture by Robert Sterling Clark Visiting Professor Erika Naginski: "Rococo Vision and the 'Sonorous Body' of Architecture"
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
5:30 pm
Erika Naginski of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, who is the Robert Sterling Clark Visiting Professor in the Williams College Graduate Program in the History of Art, will present a lecture in which she considers particular aspects of architecture's relation to vision in French Rococo aesthetics. The point of departure here is the challenge posed by the architect Charles-Étienne Briseux to classically derived analogies, based on numerical ratios, between architectural proportion and musical harmony. It is well known that Briseux drew directly on the musical thinking of Jean-Philippe Rameau in order to explore architecture¹s connection to the "sonorous body" (corps sonore), which could be detected by hearing, touch, and sight. In so doing, the architect's theories registered a broader shift from Cartesian rationalism to the sensorialist philosophies of the Enlightenment (as Alberto Péréz-Gomez, among others, has pointed out). Yet how such a proposition might have worked itself out formally and architectonically remains a compelling question—especially in light of the fact that Briseux's own claim to fame was domestic architecture, the decoration of interior spaces, and the elaboration of surfaces and thresholds (by means of mirrors, mantelpieces, ceilings, overdoors, paneling, etc.). How did the "sonorous body" come to be perceived architecturally? And what kinds of connections between interiority and the senses might have been at play?

Just my personal opinion, and bear in mind that I normally don't have sets that deep, is the 2-HP 10 GPM pump.
You only include the total rise for head, from pumping level to final elevation. Your horizontal runs do take up some of the "head", but the amount usually is so small that you can mostly ignore them. Every ft of head takes approx. .4 psi, whereas pipe runs usually take hundreds of feet to take 1-2 psi from the total. Make sure you use big enough pipe to create the least amount of head loss.
For what you're needing it sounds like you need a pump in the 10-20 gpm range. Unless you're doing a lot of watering for the lawn, the 10GS20 will give you about 13-14 gpm at ~50 psi. If the water level drops to say, 300 ft you're still at 10-12 gpm at ~50 psi.
If you go with the 13GS30 you're at about 16-18 GPM at 260 ft of head. If the water level drops to 300 ft you've still got 15-16 gpm.
Both drillers are right and both have their opinion. I'm not sure what kind of pipe they're planning to set the pump on and it could make a lot of difference in the cost. Normally around here we use sch 80 pvc with stainless couplings but I have found that materials vary from place to place. I don't normally use 1.5" pipe, I go with 1", 1.25", or 2". If you go with the 10GS20 I would go with 1.25" pipe all the way to the pressure tank/house. If you decide you need the extra 5-6 gpm then I would upsize the pipe, but it would still be OK to use 1.25" pipe. You will lose a little flow staying with the 1.25 pipe though. Also, when you go with the bigger motor/pump you will probably have to upsize the wire. I don't have a wire chart in front of me at this minute but that might make a difference in cost.
If you decide to go with a conventional system I would recommend going with a well-x-trol tank that will give you at least 1 minute of run time. So in addition to bigger pipe and wire you will need to go with a bigger tank if you decide on the bigger pump. You just have to decide what's best for your needs. If you go constant pressure route then you could use a smaller tank.
Personally I find that most people can easily make it with a ~10 gpm pump as long as they're not running the bath, dishwasher, washing machine, filling the pool, watering the grass, etc. For normal use it will be plenty. If you find yourself watering the yard more than occassionally, you may wish you had went with the bigger pump.
Good luck!!

I develop an application in which i constantly get samples of heart pulse.
I defined an interval of t seconds.
In each t seconds I have n samples.
In every interval, I want to calculate the tendency of those n samples. For example, lets say I have n = 5, and I have samples with values {70, 88, 95, 103, 115}. I want to recognize I have a growth in the heart pulse, and I want to have some measure for the rate of grows/decrease/almost no change.
I thought on two approaches for solving this problem.
I calculate the linear approximation for the n samples using linear regression by applying least squares implemented by the normal equations. (I treat each sample as two coordinates vector with x coordinate as time and y coordinate as heart pulse). I get from the normal equations a linear function of the form y = mx+b and my measure for the tendency is the slope, i.e. the m value.
The second approach is to calculate the correlation (pearson's correlation) between vector x and vector y when x is the time and y is the heart pulse.
I'm asking which approach do you think is better for my problem (determining the tendency of heart pulses). Or, do you have a better algorithm for solving this problem?

I took a picture of a VST pump before... they have those in Sweeden? Here in California, the fire marshal ordered that pumps from this company have their "hold-open" latch removed because they could spray the user with gasoline.
So, now, if you go to a gas station with one of these nozzles, you have to stay at the pump with a tight grip on the handle until you're done refueling... VST sucks! lol

Durpi told Vibe, "She's looked at the marketplace. Albums are not really doing what they usually do when you put all this budget out there. Janet is just trying to figure out her landscape."
He also said that she is going to continue acting after she recently starred in the movie, Why Did I Get Married Too? "She's about to do the other movie, 'For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf' with Mariah Carey, Kerry Washington and Whoopi Goldberg," Durpi said.

Nearly every women's rights bill passed by the Iranian reformist parliament that the Guardian Council effectively cast out in 2004 met one doom or another. Fatemeh Haghighatjoo, a former legislator, illuminates the paths of Iranian-style gridlock.
A podcast of this lecture is now available.
A FEMINIST and former Iranian legislator (2000–04) now teaching at the University of Connecticut, Dr. Fatemeh Haghighatjoo offered an Iranian civics lesson to UCLA students and members of the public attending a Jan. 14, 2008, lecture on campus sponsored by the UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies. The review of how a bill becomes law in the Islamic Republic of Iran allowed Haghighatjoo to explain religious conservatives' success in maintaining second-class status for women in a country where women vote, own property, and substantially outnumber men at universities.
"When I was in Parliament, more than 98 percent of any bills related to women's issues were rejected by the Guardian Council," she said, referring to the powerful body that disqualified reformist candidates on ideological grounds in 2004. Half of the council's members are chosen by the Supreme Leader of Iran, an appointed figure who also commands the armed forces, and the other half are nominated by the judiciary.
Bills rejected by the Guardian Council return to the Parliament (Majles), which may choose to vote on them again. If passed a second time, a bill goes to the Expediency Council, which has the power to resolve just such disputes.
In spite of its name, the Expediency Council, said Haghighatjoo, has no deadline for taking action on a bill.
"Still there are a lot of our bills from 2000 in the Expediency Council," she said. Though members of the body may have more diverse educational backgrounds than the jurists on the Guardian Council, this is yet another institution that is not accountable to voters.
Suppose a bill redressing stark inequities in Iranian divorce law, against all odds, made it through Parliament ("Even some reformists in Parliament may not vote for this bill," said Haghighatjoo) and then one of the two appointed councils to become law. A judge inclined to deny a woman's case would still have the ability to do so under Article 170 of the constitution, which says that judges are obliged not to execute "un-Islamic" laws, she said.
In Iran, people's fates depend upon who gets to say what is Islamic, she said. If changes are to come, they won't come from within the system alone.
"I think NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) and social movements can influence governments … if they mobilize more people," she said.
