MONTREAL- JANUARY 16: Tomas Plekanec #14 of the Montreal Canadiens waits for a faceoff during the NHL game against the Ottawa Senators on January 16, 2010 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Senators defeated the Canadiens 4-2. (Photo by Richard Wolowicz/Getty Images)
Well, that's... weird. The Bruins find themselves in last place after falling to the Canadiens on Thursday night, 2-1. Tomas Plekanec scored two goals, one against each team, and the highlight of the game was a much-anticipated fight between Brad Marchand and P.K. Subban. Unfortunately, the Bruins weren't able to translate the energy from that fight into a goal, and the team had to settle with their only offense coming from Plekanec sneaking one past his own goalie. Carey Price was solid between the pipes the rest of the way and now the Canadiens continue to ride a hot streak...

Cultural trends
This period also saw the crystallization of that complex of forms and ideas that can, for the first time, be identified as Russian culture. There was a gathering and integration of the Novgorodian, Tverite, and Suzdalian cultural traditions. Moscow began to attract the artists, craftsmen, and learned monks who built the eclectic but "national" churches of Ivan III's otherwise Italianate Kremlin and who wrote the revised national, pro-Muscovite versions of the chronicles that had been kept in Rostov, Ryazan, and Novgorod. The regional traditions were not always easily reconciled. Novgorodian attitudes in particular clashed with those of Muscovy.
The reign of Ivan III saw a marked turning toward the West. Ivan surrounded himself with Italian and Greek diplomats and craftsmen. His palace of 1487, his Kremlin with its Latin inscription over the main gate, and his churches, the original aspect of which has been altered by successive Russifying restorations, were clearly in the Italian style, as contemporary foreign visitors noted. His marriage to Sofia Palaeologus had, in addition to its diplomatic significance, a symbolic function of bringing Ivan into the circle of Western princes. Muscovy supposedly regarded itself as the heir of Byzantium and as the spiritual leader of the Orthodox world. It may be that the church leadership, militantly anti-Roman, thought of itself in this light. Ivan and many around him viewed the Byzantine heritage as Western, in contrast to the Ottoman and Tatar world, and were at pains to associate Muscovy with Western traditions and interprincely relations. This striving to be accepted in the Western world marked most of the changes in regalia and style of Ivan's reign, although these were later to be buried in the lore of Muscovite Byzantinism.
Three significant causes can be discerned for the evolution of Muscovite culture in the 16th century. The first was the growth and prosperity of the Russian population, united under a stable and increasingly centralized monarchy, which produced the conditions for the rise of a national culture. The second was the diplomatic and cultural isolation in which Muscovy found itself, particularly in the first half of the 16th century, as a result of hostile relations with increasingly powerful Lithuania and Poland, a cause that, more than any other, brought an end to Ivan III's westward turn and to the revolutionary adjustments of the age of exploration. The third cause was the resolution of church-state relations, in the course of which the church submitted to the power of the princes in politics but gained control over the culture, style, and ideology of the dynasty, producing the peculiar amalgam of nationalistic, autocratic, and Orthodox elements that became the official culture of high Muscovy. This new synthesis was reflected in the great undertakings associated with the name of Metropolitan Makary of Moscow: St. Basil's Cathedral in the Kremlin; the encyclopaedic Menolog, or calendar of months, which contained all the literature, translated and original, permitted to be read in the churches; and the Illustrated Codex, a compilation of East Slavic and Greek chronicles in an official Muscovite version.
Romanov Muscovy
The military drive that finally expelled the Poles from Moscow led to the election of Michael (Mikhail Fyodorovich), the 16-year-old son of Fyodor Romanov, as the new tsar. The composition of the coalition that elected him is not clear, but he evidently represented a compromise between the Cossacks, the boyars (especially the Tushino boyars), and the leaders of the northern army. It would be difficult to imagine circumstances less favourable for the beginning of the reign of the adolescent monarch and a new ruling coalition. The military campaigns had left much of the central and southwestern portions of the country in ruins. In many areas, populations had fled, land lay fallow, and administration was in disarray. Significant portions of the Novgorod, Smolensk, and Ryazan regions were occupied by Swedish and Polish armies and by sundry insurrectionary forces, who threatened to renew hostilities.
The Romanov government required more than a decade to establish itself politically and to restore economic and social order. Few had expected the election of a new tsar (the fourth in eight years) to bring an end to the turmoil. But the election of Michael reflected a resolution of political forces that permitted the coalition government to address itself to the problems of reconstruction. Another cause was the survival of the central bureaucracy; the civil servants in Moscow had served all successive governments without much interruption and were ready to restore administrative regularity as soon as political order was established. Fortunately, the new government refrained from involving itself in the Polish-Swedish conflicts, which reached their height at this period. This restraint was a most important element in the success of the 1613 settlement, for the international situation was, if anything, grimmer than the domestic. Polish-Swedish differences permitted Muscovite diplomats to bring the two countries to separate truces (Sweden, 1617; Poland, 1618); although these left substantial territories under the control of Poland and Sweden, they provided a needed interlude of peace. The Romanov government wisely avoided any significant participation in the Thirty Years' War, in which most European states engaged. At the death of the Polish king Sigismund III in 1632, Muscovy made an ill-advised attempt to regain Smolensk that ended in military disaster, but in 1634 it obtained Władysław's formal abjuration of the Polish king's questionable claim to the title of tsar.
After the failure of the Smolensk campaign, the government refrained from further military involvement with Poland for nearly a generation. It concentrated instead upon the extension and fortification of its southern borders, where the incursions of Crimean Tatars were an impediment to colonization. Moscow, however, was not prepared to go to war with the Ottomans, who were the protectors of the Crimean khan; when the Don Cossacks, Muscovy's clients, captured the critical port of Azov in 1637 and appealed to Moscow for aid in holding off a counterattack, a zemsky sobor, or national assembly (see below Trends in the 17th century), decided not to intervene, and the port was lost.

Nedayeh Mardom - Issue #3
This is the third issue of the Afghan Iranian Youth Network. Enjoy and email us firstname.lastname@example.com for criticisms and comments.
WWW.AIYN.CA THE AFGHAN-IRANIAN YOUTH PRESS FEBRUARY 2010, ISSUE #3 NEDAYEH MARDOM Surging into DiSaSter: obama'S DoomeD troop Surge U.S. President Barak Obama promised the world change and hope; however as with most of his promises, he has disappointed a world that was hopeful for an American president not hell-bent on imperialist expansion. This especially applies to his policy decisions on Afghanistan. Obama approved a surge of 30,000 troops, totaling the U.S. military presence there to 100,000 and the total coalition military presence (including Canada's) to 140,000. Although the troop surge is already in motion due to widespread bipartisan support among both Democrats and Republicans, there are more and more voices coming out in opposition. Not only is the troop surge poised to fail militarily, the political strategy is also equally flawed. After having been engaged in Afghanistan for almost a decade, the imperialist powers must surely be aware that the foreign occupation of their country will never be welcomed or accepted by Afghans. This war of conquest is justified through the demonization of a people, who are described as a people that can't help themselves. Because of this, the Afghan people will have to endure increasing imperialist presence, along with increasing civilian causalities that are ignored by a corrupt Afghan government that is under direct American influence. With a U.S. led troop surge, civilian casualties will no doubt further increase (they've doubled the past year) and in by Navid Lal response this will give an excuse for Islamic Terrorists to recruit and increase their ranks. In reality, the occupation by their erstwhile masters is the best gift to Taliban and co. With such a disastrous and predictable outcome, what is then the purpose of this troop surge? To answer this question, one has to look at what an imperialist would have their eyes on these days: oil rich Iran. Once this troop surge ...continued on pg 3 by Farshad Azadian the movement in iran : reform or revolution? What many perceived as short-term turmoil in Iran is still moving forward; the people have now united as a force against the Islamic regime, rather than a force against the disputed election results cheering for Mousavi. The Iranian people have continued their demonstrations eight months after the first spark, but the demands of the masses who are truly risking their lives are being disregarded by political figures and by a lot of the Iranian diaspora. The political portfolio of Mousavi, the person whose name has been recognized as the future of the Green Movement, is not a very promising one. The gross exaggeration by some leading political analysts calling the contrast between Mousavi and Ahmadinejad like "day and night" is deluding. Mousavi was one of the pioneers of the Islamic regime and just like Ahmadinejad, he has dedicated himself to "Islam, the revolution and Imam Khameini's line". The current series of incarcerations and killings happening during Ahmadinejad's presidency are a d�j� vu of the occurrences which happened while Mousavi was prime minister. Although he is speaking against certain government actions and calling for the release of political prisoners, freedom of press and WorkerS, get organizeD! by Rashin Alizadeh permission for peaceful protests, he is not fully dismissing the system. In contrast, the people's outspoken resent against the regime is quite clear. Iranians are now demanding a secular government and the establishment of a true democracy. Reform, as the people have realized, is not the solution. Mousavi's presidency would not change the undemocratic position of the Supreme Leader or the discriminatory laws which are based on a single religion. Many people's solution to the current problems is support for foreign diplomatic interventions in Iran. This naive request is an open invitation for intervention, ignoring the fact that the international community, including the United Nations, are the sum of states that look to secure their own political and capital interests. The occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq are clear examples of the aims of the western capitalists. The United States' intervention in the Middle East gave them access for the building of the TransAfghanistan pipeline, carrying natural gas from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan, into Pakistan and India. The Iraqi and Afghani people are being cheated out of their natural resources, and interference in Iran would have The Afghan-Iranian Youth Network Will Help Workers Organize Unions The Afghan-Iranian Youth Network believes that one of the central means of improving the conditions of working people, whether they be Afghan, Iranian or any other nationality, is through building of labour unions in our workplaces. Having a union is a first step to providing a means for workers to fight, as a collective, against their employers. It is self-evident to workers in all sectors of Canadian society that they are powerless in relation to their employers, that is, the terms of their employment are dictated by the bosses. The result is that workers are paid pennies in relation to the huge profits their employers take home. Harassment, underpayment, favoritism, workplace unsafety and intimidation are often the result of such a worker-owner relationship � as many of our readers can personally attest to. Building a union, that is, an organization of workers for the purpose of fighting for the interest of workers is the central means through which you can improve your living standards. Unions allow workers to bargain with their employers as a collective and to engage in forms of labour action, such as strikes, to force their employers to offer better terms of employment. It is a known fact that unionized workers are paid significantly higher than their non-unionized counterparts. On top of that, unionized workers often enjoy benefits, more secure working hours as well as a means to fight workplace abuses by managers and the bosses. In today's economy crisis, it is even more important for us workers to fight for better living standards. The upper class (or capitalists) have been making billions of dollars over the past decades while tossing us working people crumbs from the table. As the world economy collapses, at the fault of bankers and big business, workers are being expected to ...continued on pg 2 Unionized $17.31 89% 83% 77% Non-Unionized Average Part-Time Wages Women's Wages as Compared to Mens Pension Plans Dental Coverage $10.60 71% 33% 45% ...continued on pg 3 Source: Statistics Canada againSt a tiDe of oppreSSion, iranian Women StanD up! treatment of women. So in the eyes of the government, the Persian female rapper "Gogha" (translated into "uproar"), is committing a serious crime by speaking against the regime's oppressive treatment of women. For instance, in her song `A wind-up doll' she speaks as "the voice for thousands of suppressed women" who want both social and legal equality. Iran's statutes reflect Sharia law which promotes inequality between men and women. The government undermines a woman's independence when it prohibits her from engaging in certain professions by: Rashin Alizadeh After the alleged June 12th election rigging in Iran that brought Ahmadinejad back to power, the world witnessed an uprising of the Iranian people against the oppressive regime. The series of demonstrations in major cities, soon turned into mass protests against the government's oppressive policies and corruption. The people showed their objection to the regime's undemocratic institutions and actions, especially in regard to women and minorities. For example, In Iran it is illegal for a woman to sing solo. Her crime is all the more serious if she is expressing opposition to the regime's and legally binds a woman to require a man's approval for many of her decisions. Women are inferior to men under Iranian law, however this does not stop them from putting their lives in danger to struggle for change. In an oppressive system such as this one, Iranian working class women are especially vulnerable. They suffer the double exploitation of being workers and women. They hold jobs with little security and are victims of discrimination in the workforce because many employers are unwilling to abide by laws created to appease the country. Not only have eradication efforts been a complete failure here, but the cultivation of opium has more than tripled in recent years. It seems that the British are not only complacent, but somewhat, or perhaps even wholly involved in the export and trade of opium in the region. With strict border control in Iran, and a heavy military presence in the province itself, how else could so many smugglers be successful in their illicit business? It is very hard for any logical person to believe that the opium is smuggled out of the country without the help of military and government officials. The UN issued a report in 2009 detailing the worldwide effects of opium exported from Afghanistan. The report found that Afghan opium caters to fifteen million drug addicts worldwide, leading to the death of 100,000 people every year. These shocking statistics clearly exhibit the extent of the Afghan drug trade as virtually the sole source of the world's opium supply. The simple steps that could be taken by the ISAF forces to stem the growth and distribution of this drug would have far-reaching positive effects against drug abuse throughout the world. Unfortunately, the international coalition has exhibited no genuine interest in decreasing the supply of opium. The narcotics industry in Afghanistan is not only allowed to exist, but is actively supported by the military and government forces of the ISAF and the Afghan government. demands of women. So the female employees have a choice between no income, or giving up their rights. Therefore, the group with the strongest motivation to rebel, due to their lack of material interests within the current system, has to struggle to speak up. The oppressive institutions compel women to be obedient to those above them "before and under the law" according to the rule of (Islamic) law. We cannot change the past, but we have the ability to change the future. Ghogha and other women and men like her have the potential to change this oppressive system which thrives on suppressing society's most vulnerable--most of whom are women. part one of a SerieS: opium in afghaniStan Opium Production & International Trade by: Shafiqullah Aziz Continued from pg 1... WORKER'S ORGANIZE give up their hard-won wages, working hours or to even accepts layoffs. At the same time, the probusiness politicians of the Liberal and Conservative party have taken over 100 billion dollars of our tax money, out of our pockets, to bail out these fat cats. What is clear is that unless we begin to organize ourselves, and begin to fight for our interests, we are going to see our living standards as a whole greatly reduced. Building a union, here in Ontario, is quite straightforward but not necessarily easy. A union vote occurs once 40% of workers in a given workplace have signed union cards. This union vote, if a majority of workers vote in favor of a union, results in union certification. The Afghan-Iranian Youth Network is committed to helping workers unionize their workplaces, but the effort to win a union and to make it effective lies with workers themselves. If you are interested in setting up a union, begin talking to trusted workmates and get in touch with us at email@example.com or, by phone, at 647-204-5312. We will assist workers, of any nationality, by helping get union cards signed and by bringing our experiences from other union drives to the table. After eight years of occupation in Afghanistan, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) has not been able to meet any of the mandates they had set out to accomplish in late 2001. These goals included the permanent defeat and dismantling of the Taliban, eradication of opium production, and establishing a democratic national government. Critically examining all of these aspects of the development of Afghanistan, it is easy to see that the ISAF, namely the US, UK and Canada, have not even begun to accomplish any of these goals. In fact, in many ways, NATO forces have often been the cause of the problems that Afghan people face every day. The growth and production of opium in the country has dramatically increased during the years after invasion. The international trade of the drug now yields a four billion dollar a year business, accounting for half of the country's GDP. Eradication efforts by the foreign occupiers have been largely unsuccessful. The US has admitted that their policies against opium production have failed because eradication efforts have only cut production by 3% and national opium production has increased by forty times its previous amount during Taliban rule. Helmand province, which is currently under occupation by the British military, has by far the highest production rate of opium in the ShorteneD & reprinteD The Afghan-Iranian Youth Network has come together around the following basic points, uniting our work as we move forward: � We are united in our opposition to the Islamic dictatorship ruling over Iran. Furthermore, we are firmly opposed to any type of foreign imperialism in Iran, particularly in the form of military aggression and economic destabilization. � We also express a fierce opposition to the imperialist occupation of Afghanistan by UN-mandated NATO forces, and as an organization based in Canada, we hope to play a particular role in exposing and challenging Canadian imperialism. While we support the resistance of Afghans, we make our opposition to the reactionary forces of political Islam clear. � We refuse to decide between foreign imperialism and reactionary Islamic forces back home, rather, we actively support the progressive movements in our countries. � We are determined to take up the issues that affect our Diasporic communities, as well as those of the broader working class people of Canada. We call on all youth to get active and organized within the network, and to become active in their communities, workplaces and schools. The Afghan-Iranian Youth Network and our publication, "Nedayeh Mardom", are grassroots initiatives. We need your involvement to continue to grow and to build a movement that can fight for a better society.

OBAMA'S SURGE in Afghanistan is complete and if in the meantime the status quo is maintained in Iraq, then Iran would be flanked by almost 300,000 foreign soldiers. Clearly, the purpose of the war in Afghanistan and this troop surge is an expansion of the imperialist conquest of the greater Middle East. That is in fact what 133 of Canada's soldiers have died for, along with thousands of innocent Afghan civilians whose deaths are rarely reported in major Western media. We should demand a quick withdrawal of all Canadian and other forces, be they combat battalions or "peace guards". That will be the first step for progressive forces inside Afghanistan to be able to win the political battles and untie people against the internal reaction for a better Afghanistan in future. Continued from pg 1... REFORM/REVOLUTION the same outcome. Iran, with its rich resources and oil is a trophy prize; its geographical location, in between occupied Afghanistan and Iraq, makes it even more priceless. It is time that we realize that only the masses can bring about positive change because other states will only intervene when there are profits to be gained or interests to be preserved. Those who are aware of the need for revolutionizing the current government are jeopardizing their lives to advocate change in the country. As the movement's main driving force, students are protesting both on the streets as well as through boycotts of lectures and exams. The people now take every opportunity, including the commemoration of the death of political figures such as Montazeri and the Student Movement Day, to protest. The people no longer want a regime that suppresses democratic rights, that uses armoured vehicles purchased from China to shoot liquids at demonstrators to scatter protests, while their police forces protect pro-regime, government orchestrated demonstrations. Many Iranians are beginning to dismiss Mousavi because he is not the solution, but rather, a part of the problem. Furthermore, there have been workers' strikes, reports of police refusing to shoot at demonstrators, police stations being taken over by the people, as well as reports of plots for the takeover of the government-controlled media. This is the beginning of the end for the Islamic regime. It is time that the Iranian diaspora realizes, like the Iranian citizens have, that the power is in the hands of the people and not those of an international body or reformists such as Mousavi. The real agents of change are the masses in the country. their monstrous state machine aren't just going to back off and hand us the power themselves. We, the people of Iran, have to stand up and bring them down by force. This is fundamental point in understanding why revolution is necessary, and how non-violence actually perpetuates a system of organized violence. We must then understand revolution to be the most anti-violent form of struggle because it represents the will of the majority for the purpose of ending the violent rule of a minority. The revolution will march forward, will defend itself, will arm itself and will put an end to the violent rule of Islamic Republic. The Iranian masses and toilers will then have a chance to go toward a free and equal society when violence is no longer needed to uphold an unjust status quo and the rule of a minority. I hope that we can all understand the reasoning of our brave brothers and sisters who fight in the streets of Iran, and provide them with the genuine support they need. "non-violence" or the perpetuation of organizeD violence? Revolution is the most anti-violent form of struggle by: Reza Eshteraki Violence is one of the most ugly features of the world we live in. It exists in different forms but the most vicious and wicked part of it is engaged in by governments and states of the world who use their police, army and "legal system" to uphold the status quo. We have seen time and time again that whenever workers and people move to change the society, they are met with the harshest violence from their governments. This is by no means restricted to dictatorial and openly tyrannical governments, but also from a lot of "democratic" states too. Few weeks ago we saw that in Denmark, in what is supposed to be a "peaceful" democratic country, an intense crackdown by the police forces of the Danish government onto thousands of demonstrators who were asking the world leaders in Copenhagen to take measures towards ending the destruction of the planet. Historically in Canada policing bodies like the RCMP and the army have been used, among other things, to suppress workers who attempted to organize themselves through unions as to fight for decent living conditions. As this article goes to print, the "democratic" government of Stephen Harper is accused of torturing Afghan prisoners and is killing our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan every day. In Iran, violence has been part of a harsh reality for millions of Iranians in much of their contemporary history, under the monarchic and then Islamic government. Killing, torture, rape, and execution have been the weapons that this regime has used to uphold its illegitimate reign. How can one end this violence? How can we put an end to the use of force for the suppression and harming of human beings? To answer this question, we must first realize that if the state machine is being used to initiate violence, and that it is being perfected in this task every day, the only way to end it is to take this state away, by force, from those who intend to use it for violence. This is the only way to build a society in which violence is no longer needed to uphold the privileges of a few over the deprivation of millions. This is the essence of every revolution and it is exactly what can be witnessed in Iran right now. The Iranian revolution has targeted the most heinous source of violence, Khameini and his regime of Islamic tyranny. People are shouting "Death to Dictator" and "Death to the principle of Supreme Leadership" because they understand the source of the violence that has been inflicted upon them during the last three decades. What is particularly surprising, however, is that the people who say that they oppose violence, are the same people demanding that the Iranian people refrain from fighting the regime. When the movement initially began, some of these people used all their power to ask that the protest movement remain "contained" and ask people not to be "radicalized". When the people started shouting "Death to the Dictator", these "non-violence" advocates asked them not repeat it, and when in December 26th and 27th the heroic people started fighting back the regime thugs and goons, and occupying the sources of state violence (police and Basij stations, etc.), these same people trembled and criticized the movement for "going too far". If we want to put an end to a most violent regime like the Islamic Republic, we are compelled to bring it down with force. It is quite simple. Mullahs and regime officials with Iranian protesters attack police station in Tehran in June 2009 FEBUARY 2010 ISSUE #3 PG. 3 StuDentS anD Social change by: Nila Zameni Students have always been on the forefront of social change. Schools and post-secondary institutions are places that have traditionally fostered social and academic exchange and dialogue. The late sixties and seventies were important years for the student movement globally. All across the United States, students were protesting the Vietnam War and other U.S. policies such as on women's rights and civil rights. In France, the student riots provoked what could be known as the largest worker's general strike in the world, that pushed France to the brink of revolution and had a profound effect on the country's current social structures. The fall of South-African Apartheid was also aided through the involvement of students who pressured their own universities and governments to divest. Today, the political terrain has changed, yet the voices at the forefront of various important progressive struggles are often largely students. In the last decade we have seen neo-Liberal policies catch up with schools in Europe, igniting a worldwide campaign against tuition fees. Similar to the international solidarity movement against apartheid South Africa, students today are connected to a similar movement providing solidarity with the Palestinian people's struggle against occupation. In Iran, it has been students who have been the loudest and most critical voice against the Islamic Regime, and sadly, often the martyrs of the current uprising. Here in Toronto, student activity has been alive and growing in the face of mounting societal inequalities. The Canadian Federation of Students, the largest Canadian student advocacy group in Canada representing over half a million students, has worked primarily on issues of access to education, but has not hesitated to advocate campaigns on women's rights, First Nations rights, homophobia, ableism, racism, and connecting these issues to access to education. They have been successful in winning a national student grants program, securing discounted transit fares in the GTA, and negotiating off campus work permits for international students. Across Canadian universities there is another organizational model that has also played a significant role in the student movement. Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGs) are student directed, levy funded organizations that appear on campuses across Canada. The activities of PIRGS include research and action taken on a diversity of issues including antiwar work, the environment, anti-racist activism and many other progressive issues taken on by students themselves. Grassroots initiatives have also been growing in the GTA to cater to the needs of marginalized communities, such as No One Is Illegal, which fights for people without status in Canada, The Toronto Women's Bookstore, a not-for-profit bookstore which hosts various community events and activities, and the Remix Project which offers youth interested in urban arts an opportunity to learn multimedia skills and build a portfolio. The Afghan Iranian Youth Network is just another example of an initiative taken on by student activists across the GTA to produce a news publication and raise political awareness on both local and global issues related to Iran, Afghanistan, and Canada. the miStake of hugo chavez anD variouS leftiStS Following the much controversial Iranian summer elections, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez was among the first in the international community to publically express support in what he viewed as the legitimate victory of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Chavez owes his democratically elected victories in Venezuela as a champion of progressive and pro-working class legislation and on the promise of extending those gains in a country where more than 80% live under the poverty line. On the other hand, the Islamic Republic is a theocratic state where electoral candidates must pass the judgment of unelected mullahs and where anti-worker legislation is fierce. In this resource wealthy country, 90% live in poverty � a huge regression from the Iranian people's aims during the 1979 revolution. The overthrow of the Shah in Iran saw a huge by: Arman Noory rise of labour involvement in the political process of the nation. The oil workers general strike brought the needed potential which weakened the dictatorship and readied the country for revolution to free itself from the yoke of American imperialism. Before the Islamic Republic consolidated power, millions of workers had joined established councils (shoras) to occupy factories and rid them of capitalist administration, and the mass peasantry had occupied land to farm and live off of. The Iranian revolution was betrayed when these gains were reversed by the further repressive Islamic Republic. The aims of Chavez' Bolivarian revolution and the actions of the Islamic Republic stand on two ideological opposites. Where Chavez has encouraged workers of his nation to occupy factories and establish councils, the Islamic Republic has replaced all worker councils with Islamic councils banning worker strikes and organisation. Where Chavez has encouraged the peasantry to take the land, the Islamic Republic has taken land won by the peasantry in the revolution and has given it back to the landowner. With so much ideological contradiction, the unity of these two nation states must be observed in how they both interact and react knowing full well their position in the global economy. As both are top oil-producers, and as both have had foreign overthrow of their respective democratically-elected governments (1953 Iran and 2002 Venezuela), there exists a legitimate resounding anti-American imperialist sentiment. With the two nations' prominent positions in OPEC (Organization of Petroleum-Exporting Countries) and their outspoken anti-American imperialism, the pair's dependence on one another has only come naturally. With the outcasting of the two in the international capitalist community, Chavez and Ahmadinejad's alliance has been tied on dependence of industry among themselves as a means to strengthen one another as well PG. 4 ISSUE #3 as the necessity of policy to undercut American imperialism. In the last year alone, Iran has started two cement factories in Bolivia, is producing 16,000 cars for Venezuelan roads and the two countries have started a joint bank of $200 million (USD) starting capital. As of 2006, the Iran-Venezuela trade volume hit $11 billion (USD) The alliance of Venezuela and the Islamic Republic therefore are not rooted on ideological grounds but rather one of a very unfortunate necessity for Venezuela. The words of Hugo Chavez in his unconditional support of Ahmadinejad will likely go down in history as a move that betrayed not only the Iranian working class but also the aims of Chavez' own much supported Bolivarian Revolution. The legislation of Chavez in Venezuela is something that the Iranian people could benefit greatly off of. From his redistribution of oil wealth from the greedy claws of a wealthy minority to the needy hands of the impoverished majority, the occupation of factories by workers into cooperatives, and the return of land to the peasantry, he has proven to be an honest friend and ally of the working and the poor. Those in his country who support Chavez come from the same walks of life as those who have taken to Iranian streets to overthrow Ahmadinejad and the Islamic Republic. In judging the character of his mistake, we should not put Chavez in the same light that we would reserve for those which have directly interfered in Iranian politics such as the imperialists of America. Chavez has proven to be a friend of the working class and friends can make mistakes. American imperialism, on the other hand, has proven to still be the greatest enemy to the international working class and must be attacked for every mistake it makes. Had it not been for American intervention and imperialism, the Iranian people would not have had to meddle in decades of coups, dictatorships, revolution(s), theocracies and revolution(s) betrayed.

March brought yet another successful Speaker Series, as we welcomed Mark LeBlanc to Detroit Lakes and M State and he spoke to our crowd of 80+ people about "Growing Your Business" - his common sense practical and applicable advice was very well received and many folks took them back to their businesses and put them in to practice and have been sharing their amazing results with us even today.
Additionally, we enhanced our Speaker Series with a workshop opportunity following the Speaker Series with Mark LeBlanc leading a smaller group of 30 who eagerly paid $29 to have more intimate hour and half with him to dig deeper in to his insight in to how to grow your business by using tactics such as: 1) creating a defining statement 2) making a list of the 25 most influential people in your life and contacting them 3) going back to the "old school" basics of business cards, rolodexes, databases and more to create and book your time and talents to result in more business.....his practical advice again was very well-received and we continue to hear feedback from his time spent at M State.
We were lucky enough to secure Mark's speaking engagement by negotiating a "hometown" price and with the generous grant funding we secured from the Coleman Foundation.

Jonathan YardleyThe literature about Abraham Lincoln is so vast as to defy comprehension, yet historians and other scholars—not to mention novelists, poets, artists, sculptors, even composers—continue to find new and revealing things to say about this greatest of all Americans. Fred Kaplan's Lincoln: The Biography of a Writer, is the latest case in point, a book that is certain to become essential to our understanding of the 16th president. To be sure, many others before Kaplan have dealt in various ways with Lincoln's love of literature and writing, but no one has explored the subject so deeply or found so much meaning in it.

University of Northern Iowa golf coach John Bermel shot a second-round 76 at the 2012 U.S. Senior Open held at Indianwood Golf & Country Club in Lake Orion, Mich.
"It was a great experience and we got a little TV time for UNI and Pheasant Ridge," Bermel said. "I did not hit the ball very well today. It was a tough course and I was not real good. I will be back."
Bermel shot a two-round total of 149 (+9) and failed to make the 36-hole cut for the weekend.
The highlight of Bermel's second round came with a birdie on the par-3 17th hole.
Bermel hit 12 of 16 greens in regulation in round two with 35 putts (1.94 avg./hole).

Sharing the dance floor
Local companies counted on having NTC Promenade's Luce Auditorium as a focal point, but now may have to split time in classic building
Because of the auditorium's historic value, the plan is to construct a building within a building, preserving the integrity of the outer shell. Projected renovation costs are relatively low, from $8.5 million for the multi-use scenario to $10.1 million for the more traditional theater.
That's the good news for the dance companies. However, Hall also looked at financial sustainability, and he didn't find enough potential use to recommend making Luce a venue devoted exclusively to dance.
Based on surveying some two-dozen arts organizations, he estimated that the Dance Place companies would be able to use the Luce no more than half the year. That led him to ask whether any other groups might also have a half-year need. The most likely candidates were the dozen or so film festivals that take place here.
"We have a burgeoning film community with a lot of diversity and really great stuff going on," Hall says. "But it's sort of hit a ceiling in terms of its growth because it tends to be spread out all over the city and disparate in its approach and possibilities."
Ziter – with the help of Andy Friedenberg, director of the Cinema Society of San Diego – convened a meeting in November for representatives of the film festivals, and the idea of using Luce provoked mixed reactions.
Lee Ann Kim, executive director of the San Diego Asian Film Foundation, is dubious about what she sees as the NTC Foundation's "dream arrangement," that the film festivals would collectively operate the Luce and move their offices to the NTC Promenade.
"The majority (of festivals) don't even have a real office, they operate out of someone's home or garage," Kim says. "Honestly, I told them I don't think it's possible."
On the plus side, using the Luce as a cinema center would raise visibility and create opportunities for cross-promotion, says Ethan van Thillo, executive director of the San Diego Media Arts Center and founder of the San Diego Latino Film Festival. There's also the benefit of permanence, not losing a venue because a theater chain has been sold or has decided to stop hosting a festival.
For Friedenberg, "I love the idea of everyone being under one roof – and with a vision of building a state-of-the-art, first-class cinema facility."
A state-of-the-art cinema facility is unlikely, however, to be an ideal venue for dance. For instance, Friedenberg would like stadium seating, and he figures it would be easier to share space with dance than with live theater because "with theater, you need dressing rooms, rehearsal space, a large proscenium. I don't know that you need that in dance."
In fact, dancers do need such things, and trying to broker a marriage between dance and cinema may be a fiasco. For Javier Velasco, the co-director of San Diego Ballet, "Too often, I've been in buildings designed to get as many different kinds of use as possible, and they end up not serving anything excellently."
At a standstill
Whether a dance-cinema partnership could work is clearly a key question to explore in the next phase of planning for the Luce.

This bell's hand-crafted nazar protects your home from the evil eye.
The nazar is a common protective talisman in the Middle East.

The traditional design is a disk or ball with concentric blue and white circles (usually from the inside out the colors are: navy/black, light blue, white, dark blue). In Turkey you can find this popular symbol on almost anything - it's commonly found in or on houses and vehicles, and it's often used as beads in jewelry. Hang this bell in your yard and let its hand-crafted nazar protect your home and garden.
Dimensions: 20.5" Overall Length, 9" Wide
Materials: Black finish ash wood, 5 bright nickel-plated steel bells, glass amulet, wood and glass bead accents.

In a print edition-only photograph accompanying Julie Bosman's frontpage profile of TVNewser blogger Brian Stelter, the student-cum-media darling is seen sitting in front of a dry erase board covered in notes and quotations. Among them, right in the center, "I've been pimpin' that shit to [illegible] I see," which is attributed to Sharon. In an effort to confirm just whom that "shit" was pimped to—was it "everyone," "anyone," or "whoever"?—Radar contacted Stelter immediately.

Alluvial Fan in Western China
December 1, 2003
A vast alluvial fan blossoms across the desolate landscape between the Kunlun and Altun Mountains that form the southern border of the Taklimakan Desert in China's XinJiang Province. The river appears electric blue as it runs out of the mountains at the bottom right corner of the scene and then fans out into scores of intricate, braided channels that disappear into the desert. Dry channels —- the river's former paths -— appear as silvery etchings at lower right. This scene was acquired by the ASTER instrument on NASA's Terra satellite on May 2, 2002.

QNX Supports New Sitara ARM Cortex-A8 Industrial Processors from Texas Instruments
OTTAWA, Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ — QNX Software Systems today announced that the QNX® Neutrino® RTOS now supports the new Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) AM3505 and AM3517 ARM® Cortex(TM)-A8 microprocessors (MPUs), the first two members of TI's new Sitara(TM) family and the first ARM Cortex-A8 processor-based solutions optimized for industrial applications.
The AM35x MPUs offer a variety of device packages, industrial temperature options (-40 to +85 degrees C), multiple on-chip peripherals (CAN, Ethernet MAC, USB 2.0 OTG PHY, etc.), and high computational performance at sub one-Watt power levels. The low power consumption eliminates the need for heat sinks and fans, allowing industrial developers to design silent, air-tight enclosures for harsh environments.
Developers can implement entire human machine interfaces (HMIs) in Adobe Flash since both the AM3505 and the AM3517 include a high-resolution display subsystem supported by the QNX Aviage® HMI Suite. The AM3517 builds on the AM3505 with a PowerVR(TM) SGX graphics engine from Imagination Technologies, which will allow developers to create hardware-accelerated 2D and 3D HMIs that leverage QNX Software Systems' optimized support for the OpenVG and OpenGL® ES 1.1/2.0 graphical APIs.
The QNX Neutrino RTOS forms a key component of the QNX industrial software architecture, a complete platform that offers massive scalability, from deeply embedded headless devices, to distributed automation systems, to 2D/3D control and display units. The platform includes an RTOS, development tools, networking protocols, and a rich choice of file systems, as well as middleware for creating a wide range of HMIs. Proven in thousands of mission-critical applications, the QNX industrial software architecture is supported by a large ecosystem of technology partners providing industrial protocols, connectivity solutions, graphics technologies, I/O, peripherals, tools, and silicon.
QNX Software Systems also offers support for many other TI processors, including the TMS320DM355, TMS320DM644x, OMAP3503, OMAP3515, OMAP3525, and OMAP3530 processors.
"By taking advantage of the QNX industrial software architecture, customers using the AM3505 and AM3517 MPUs can create compelling, dynamic HMIs while leveraging the reliability and realtime performance of a field-proven, standards-based realtime operating system," said John Gorman, OMAP35x product line manager, TI.
"The new TI AM3505 and AM3517 MPUs hit the sweet spot for industrial customers who need high performance at low power," said Kroy Zeviar, business alliance manager, QNX Software Systems. "These new Sitara ARM Cortex A-8 solutions, combined with the already robust range of TI MPUs, make the TI portfolio a key part of our customer roadmaps."
Board support packages now available on Foundry27
Board support packages (BSPs) for the AM35x evaluation module (EVM) are available now on Foundry27, the QNX developer portal. To download the AM3505 BSP, visit: http://community.qnx.com/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.bsp/wiki/TiAm3505Evm.

Biometric screenings are a series of health tests designed to offer insight into your employees' overall health. Currently, the wellness industry thinks of biometric screenings as necessary, but all the same. We're out to prove that by providing better, more positive screening experiences employees will be more engaged and get more out of corporate wellness programs.
Our standard on-site biometric screenings include:
- On-Site Event Coordinator
- Marketing Materials
- Online Appointment System
- Choose Between Fingerstick or Blood Draw
- Cholesterol & Glucose test with readings on Total Cholesterol (TC), HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, TC/HDL Ratio, Triglycerides, and Glucose
- Blood Pressure
- Height/Weight/Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Waist Circumference
- Health Education Counseling
- Aggregate-Level Reporting
- Transferring of data to third-party vendor
With instant results available, on-site screenings provide a convenient way to reach employees. For sites with Wi-Fi, we can use tablets to streamline the collection of biometric data. Plus, as an employer, knowing more about the prevalent health risks in your organization can help you develop wellness strategies and deliver appropriate programming.
Our Specialty
We specialize in on-site biometric health screenings. We run the screenings, cover the details and handle all of the workload so you can focus on what's important – the results.
Our Biometric Screening Staff
Our nurses and staff are of the most qualified professionals in the industry. We have established a network of over 6,000 medical professionals throughout the country. They are reliable, punctual, and trustworthy. Our nurses understand the critical "teachable moment" that occurs after an employee receives their screening results. All staff complete our rigorous training program and they have the personality and passion to speak with each individual about what their health numbers mean. Additionally, we put forth our greatest effort to ensure you see the same faces at each event year after year.
Our Follow-Through
We do what we say we are going to do. We strive to ensure the best experience possible by handling all of the details and implementing projects from start to finish. Relationships are developed, trust is built, and events run smoothly.
In addition to on-site biometric health screenings, TotalWellness can also provide additional health tests, including a cotinine test, fitness testing and carotid artery ultrasound screening.
Health Screening Vouchers
For remote employees that would be unable to attend on-site health screenings or for smaller sites, TotalWellness offers a variety of options including a lab collection network with over 1,400 sites, home kits and we can even upload data from a primary care physician office visit.
Health Screening Reporting
TotalWellness will provide you with aggregate reports of your biometric health screenings through an online dashboard. Our dynamic, online reports can be customized according to the specific reports you would like to create. You will have the control to design your own reports. We store your data forever, keeping it secure, safe, and confidential.

I couldn't have been happier with my stay. I got in one Night early and stayed for two nights. and should have stayed longer! Staff is so sweet. Great knowledge of park and surrounding areas the beds have actual duvets- you'll stay warm. The kitchen had a coffee grinder(!!!), drippers and filters. Awesome since I had bought a ton of beans in SF. They compost too which is so so cool. No cell service so download and screenshot all your important info. Nice quiet spot. Can't wait to go back.
