Within five years, the program became a state model and was funded at more than 50 other colleges across California.
She named her re-entry program New Horizons, and now, decades later, the Los Angeles County Commission for Women and County Board of Supervisors has announced that College of the Canyons Chancellor Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook will be honored as a recipient of the 2009 Woman of the Year Award during the prestigious 24th Annual Women of the Year Awards Luncheon in March.
The county's Commission for Women was established in 1975 (about the same time Chancellor Van Hook helped create her first women's re-entry center) to represent the special interests and concerns of women of all races, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, religious convictions, social circumstances and sexual orientation.
One of the commission's priorities has been to recommend programs or legislation to promote and ensure equal rights and opportunities for women, in addition to recognizing outstanding women who have emerged as role models and who make a difference in the lives of the county's more than four million women.
In 1979, Van Hook also became a member of the California Community and Junior College Association's (CCJCA) Commission on Women, which was dedicated to these same priorities.
Van Hook created the New Horizons program so that women could have the same opportunities as men, and since then, she has dedicated her life to providing access to education for everyone, and to helping students succeed.
District awardees are selected by each Los Angeles County Supervisor and Community At-Large Awardees are selected by the Commission for Women in the following five categories: Education, Health, Media/Arts, Business/Labor and Law/Public Safety. Aside from serving as role models, Women of the Year nominees must have worked on behalf of women's issues and made significant contributions to women's equality.
Chancellor Van Hook was selected for this award by Michael D. Antonovich, Los Angeles County Supervisor, Fifth District.
"I'm passionate about California community colleges and the opportunities they afford people to become whomever they want to be," said Chancellor Van Hook. "I have been blessed to be able to work in this amazing system of education and to build bridges for people so they can open doors and realize that they can succeed. What an honor it is to be recognized for my decades of commitment to enhancing opportunities for women--one person at a time."
Throughout Chancellor Van Hook's career, she has mentored women, advocated for the promotion of women and championed women's equity issues, while serving as a first-hand example to her peers and colleagues of just how powerful a role model and visionary leader one woman can be.
Before coming to College of the Canyons, Van Hook helped create the Asilomar Leadership Conference, which provides training for women looking to advance to executive positions in community colleges throughout California, and later established the Association of California Community College Administrators (ACCCA) Mentor Program to further train future community college leaders.
In addition, each semester for the past two decades Van Hook has shared her extensive knowledge and experience by serving as a role model and mentor to women aspiring to become college presidents - with more than 40 of the women she has mentored going on to achieve that goal at a California community college.
Locally, under her leadership, the number of female administrators at College of the Canyons has increased from just two before she was hired in 1988 to 54 percent of all the college's administrators, as she has hired more than 90 percent of all full-time staff since 1988.
She has led the way in adding the Progressive Adult College Education (PACE) program and weekend college, online associate degrees, condensed and fast track courses and a University Center - all designed to open doors and remove barriers, embrace access and help women succeed.
When she arrived at College of the Canyons in 1988, Van Hook became the youngest serving California Community College CEO, and was one of only five women to serve as a district level CEO at the time.
Now, she is the longest seated CEO with more than 21 years of service.
During her tenure, Van Hook has worked to expand the district's revenue base, hire talented faculty and staff, develop plans to expand instructional programs, secure a significant increase in funding for the college, and launch and fund an incredible expansion of the college's facilities.
Passionately committed to higher education and its integral role in economic development, Van Hook has led the way in forging educational and training partnerships with community organizations, government agencies, and private industry to ensure that citizens possess the high-technology skills that will sustain California's economic growth.
A strong believer that people can accomplish more together than they can alone, she has developed a culture at College of the Canyons that encourages the development of partnerships with government, businesses, non-profit agencies and key community stakeholders.
Under her leadership the college has established Academy of the Canyons, the University Center, and opened its doors to high school students through concurrent enrollment.
The business community has also benefited from Van Hook's leadership, with the Employee Training Institute, Center for Advanced Competitive Technologies, Small Business Development Center and Business Incubator all having made an impact in the region.
As the longest seated California community college CEO, Van Hook has received a wide range of honors and awards including the Community College League of California's Five Star Leadership Award, the Association of California Community College Administrators' Harry Buttimer Distinguished Administrator Award, the Presidential Leadership Award from the Network of California Community College Foundations for fundraising leadership, and the California Community College Council for Staff and Organizational Development (CCCCSD) Presidential Leadership Award for her role in creating professional development programs for staff throughout the system.
More recently, Van Hook was awarded the North America Council for Staff, Program and Organizational Development President's Award, and was a Leader of Character Honoree by the Boy Scouts of America.
With full belief, and personal experience, in the leadership capabilities of women, Van Hook is quick to encourage her peers, colleagues, staff and students to strive to reach their full potential through education, professional development and job advancement -demonstrating through her own actions that it can be done.
Her legacy is evident as one walks around the campus, in the people, plans, programs, partnerships and potential her passion and leadership have inspired.
In living by the motto "if you can dream it, you can do it," Van Hook demonstrates the vision, energy, commitment, flexibility and courageous leadership style that inspires women to move forward with their own dreams, and make advancements in their lives and careers.

2013 Industrial Commodity Statistics Yearbook
The 2013 Industrial Commodity Statistics Yearbook is the forty-seventh in a series of annual compilations of statistics on world industry designed to meet both the general demand for information of this kind and the special requirements of the United Nations and related international bodies.
The present Yearbook contains data in physical quantities, as well as in monetary value of production. It is therefore organized in two volumes, namely Volume I: Physical Quantity Data and Volume II: Monetary Value Data.
The Yearbook contains data on production of industrial commodities by country and geographical region. The statistics refer to the ten-year period 2004-2013 for about 200 countries and areas, based on a list of about 600 commodities. Additional data, i.e. for periods before 2004 as well as additional commodities, are available in the Industrial Commodity Statistics Database. Data reported for the products in the Yearbook reflect value and volume of production sold during the survey period, which is defined as the production carried out at some time, which has been sold (invoiced) during the reference period. The data cover products produced by mining, manufacturing and electricity and gas units, i.e. units classified in sections C, D and E of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) Revision 3.1, or sections B, C and D of ISIC Revision 4 (depending on the classification used within each individual country). The products may be outputs of primary or secondary production. The data does not cover output of units classified outside of these ISIC sections.
The selection of industrial commodities is based on the United Nations List of Industrial Products, established in 2005. The List is comprised of a selected set of products intended for data collection on industrial production. It is not intended to represent an exhaustive list of industrial or manufacturing products. Products have been selected on the basis of their overall importance and their importance as outputs of individual ISIC industries in the world economy.
Like previous issues, the Industrial Commodity Statistics Yearbook has been prepared by the Statistics Division of the United Nations with the generous cooperation of the national statistical authorities. Acknowledgement is also due to the following specialized agencies and intergovernmental bodies whose publications have been utilized in updating our statistics: Afristat (Bamako, Mali), Arab Gulf Cooperation Council (Riyadh), Asian Development Bank (Manila), Fiber Economics Bureau (USA), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (Rome), International Grains Council (London), World Steel Association (Brussels), International Rubber Study Group (London), International Sugar Organization (London), International Tea Committee (London), Organization of the Islamic Conference (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) and U.S. Geological Survey (Washington, D.C.). Production data for energy commodities have been taken from the energy statistics database of the Statistics Division of the United Nations.

Standoff in Exeter lasts close to three hours
Suspect wanted for federal firearm charge
Published 7:44 AM EST Feb 05, 2013
Exeter police spent close to three hours negotiating with a wanted man who locked himself in an apartment on Browns Court Monday night.
Investigators say 41-year-old Sean Meola is wanted in Boston on a federal charge of felon in possession of firearms. When officers tried to serve the arrest warrant, Browns refused to come out.
Police say negotiators talked to Meola until shortly after midnight, when he surrendered to police. He was put in the custody of federal agents and will be arraigned in Massachusetts.

The *ASTER Pilot Project: Improving the Reporting of Adverse Events
'ASTER' stands for: "ADE Spontaneous Triggered Event Reporting". The ASTER study was conceived as a proof of concept for a new model of gathering and reporting spontaneous adverse drug events (ADEs).
Click here to link to a recent presentation that describes the ASTER Study.
ASTER is a collaboration of the following organizations and individuals:- Brigham and Women's Hospital (Dr. David Bates is sponsor, Dr. Jeffrey Linder is Lead Investigator)
- Partners Healthcare – use of the Longitudinal Medical Record
- CDISC (an international standards group)
- CRIX International (a public/private not-for-profit organization)
- Pfizer Incorporated
ASTER implemented automated ADE collection in an ambulatory clinic electronic health record (EHR), using a flexible standard for data collection known as "Retrieve Form for Data" (RFD) from CDISC and Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE). CRIX International hosted the application. The application allows direct downloading of data from the EHR and direct submission to the FDA in the proper formats for electronic reporting of individual case safety reports (ICSRs).

And the very special reason I went to Daejeon was… to adopt a dog! Yes, I haven't posted this week because I've been busy taking care of this sweet two-year-old mutt I rescued from the Daejeon City Animal Shelter. She's quite small, very gentle, and curious but cautious. At the shelter, they called her 사슴 (Saseum), meaning "deer." It really does suit her personality, but it doesn't speak to her playful and spunky side (she is always smiling, even in her sleep!). I renamed her 빙수 (Bingsoo), like the shaved ice dessert, because she is so sweet (and it sounds cute!). Here are some Instagram photos.
When I tell Koreans her name, they always laugh. I'd probably laugh, too, if I heard a foreigner name their dog "Yogurt" or "Ice Cream" or some other frozen treat. But I stand by my choice! Bingsoo is a winner. (For more Bingsoo, check my Instagram feed!)

Can somebody please explain to me the appeal of Garrison Keillor? Or, "What do you Know?" Who pays for this crap? Yes, I know: 85 year-olds. OK, fine. They're entitled to entertainment, too...but isn't Judge Judy, Newhart, and the hateful broads who've covered the Caylee Anthony case every single day for the last year enough? Can we not screw up the weekends of people who actually need the time off? Apparently not.
One shouldn't complain, though. There is an exquisite sort of joy to be experienced by subjecting oneself to the horrible whims of Garrison's insensate hayseed blather, and Michael Feldman's...whatever. So, one must hear it all...every weekend. One must feel the pain.
I pretend to myself that I listen as a sort of penance for some unknown sin that just won't wash out. But really, it is a religious sort of agony that borders on orgasm to hear Keillor continually fail to be funny in strings of endless skits about jack shit-all, or to have him jump in like an overly-touchy relative on a duet with a singer light years more talented than he. Yes, it hurts, but the hurt is so acute, so perfectly unadulterated that it seems to circumvent even my nervous system and strangle the very core of my pain centers. The sweet brutality of enlightenment... THIS is what the Buddha was talking about! And as if A Prairie Home Companion wasn't sufficiently excrutiating, they follow it up with TWO friggin' episodes of the comic stylings of ...drum roll... Michael Feldman (fart). This stiff has somehow built a long-standing show around a smarmy voice, rambling-yet-abortive "wisecracks" on the poor saps he either gets on the phone or into the actual show taping, a couple of trivia questions...and a jazz piano interlude. By rights, What Do You Know should last 15 minutes, tops. But no. It never ends. It is a sort of asymptotic nightmare-cum-reality where one seems to be waking up only to find oneself further immersed in the horrid dream. This kind of deluded state is shared only by weekend NPR listeners, and prisoners of war...in Burma. It is to live inside a hellish soundscape that fades in and out, innnnn aaaaand oooooooout...until the prisoner is left screaming at the mice (or girlfriends) with whom they are trapped. And when it is over, when the barbed wire is finally pulled from around my genitals and the visions have subsided, I am in such a state of unbridled agitation that I probably look like some shamen on peyote standing on a bed of flaming nails in the middle of the Kalihari.
And I love it. Somebody help me.

...Garrison Keiller, the show I love to hate and hate to love... My dad always had the thing on, and yeah, it's pretty, ummm, old-sounding. The only perks include the shows where they do impersonations of pop-cultural icons (pretty spot-on.) Guy Noir. Listening to Julia Sweeney talk. Cafe Buh. Guy's Shoes. But the show drags on an the news from lake wobegone rambles on a bit much. It's the kind of show that has o be on in the background if you're gonna have it on. If something funny is on you go in and listen, if it's not funny you go bacjk in the other room an continue doing what you were doing.
'Whadaya know', did they change that to 'wait, wait, don't tell me' or is that another show that's strikingly similar? Yeah, the whaddayah know quiz, yup, it pretty much is a show built around a call in contest.
Car Talk, yeah, those guys can solve your problem over the phone so that's cool.
The best I can figure, have you ever seen the shows they put on saturdays on the spanish channel? There's one called Sabado Gigante (Big Saturday) that's 5 hours of game shows, amature performance gong shows, and so on and so forth. It just keeps going. Brazil has their own version of the same thing and it too is 5 hours of the same. Maybe they are shows that can only work if they're on all day in the background. (shrugs)

Whaddaya Know is a separate, much, much more evil show.
Wait, wait at least has some mildly funny people on from time to time. Whaddaya Know is just this Feldman guy making wry comments and essentially coaxing people who are not very interesting to say far, far more than they ought to. Then there's a big jazz piano interlude (ZZZZZZZZZZZZ)... For all I know the show IS 15 minutes long. It just feels like eternity.

'Captain America 2' sets release date for 2014
Marvel movie mania continues, as the revered company announced today that "Captain America 2" will hit theaters on April 4, 2014.
Once again, Chris Evans will play the Marvel hero in the The Walt Disney Studios production, which is close to choosing a director.
The sequel will pick up the character where the upcoming "Avengers" leaves off, as Cap (AKA Steve Rogers) continues to work with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and S.H.I.E.L.D., while struggling to adjust to the strange 21st Century.
"Captain America: The First Avenger" took place during WWII, where Rogers was turned from a brave 90-lbs weakling into the muscle-bound super-soldier known as Captain America, eventually frozen and resuscitated in modern day NYC. Joe Johnston ("The Rocketeer") directed, and it earned around $368 million worldwide.
That's a long wait for Marvel fans, who will have "The Avengers" (May 4), "Iron Man 3" (May 3, 2013) and "Thor 2" (Nov. 15, 2013) to keep them busy in the mean time.
As of now, only a few key dates have been staked out for the summer of 2014. "Stretch Armstrong," set for April 11, is so far the only title "Cap 2" would have to worry about. "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" is set for May 2, with "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and "Transformers 4" both scheduled for June.
You can catch Cap, Fury, Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and the rest of the gang in "The Avengers," opening May 4.

New Jersey senators Robert Menendez and Frank Lautenberg introduced a senate resolution today to honor C. Vivian Stringer, who became the eighth Division 1 coach to reach the 800-win plateau last night. The pair of Democrats offered this praise:
Menendez: "Coach Stringer's contributions to our community are measured not just in her number of wins but also in the number of outstanding women her program has produced. It is a tremendous asset to have a world-class coach and world-class teacher in our state.
I congratulate her for her accomplishments, for the advancement of women's basketball and for her service to our community. It is my pleasure to work to honor her in the U.S. Senate."
Lautenberg: "Coach Stringer's 800th win is a tremendous accomplishment for her, her team and the entire Rutgers community. She is a remarkable coach and a true Hall of Famer, deserving recognition not only for her impressive accomplishments on the court, but for her work with student athletes off the court as well. Congratulations to Coach Stringer on this tremendous accomplishment."

Like the perfect little black dress, this purse is so versatile. You can dress this red knit bag up for an evening on the town or add interesting adornments that you will enjoy using every day.
- 175 yards of nylon cord
- 2 handles
- Drawstring liner
- Beaded button
- Base board bottom
- Knitting Needle: 7 or 4.5mm
Seed stitch: 4 sts per 1 in.
Garter stitch: 5 sts per 1 in.
(k all rows)
k = knit
p = purl
sl = slip
garter stitch = knit every row
seed stitch = knit 1, purl 1
Cast on 77 stitches using US #7 (4.5mm) 16" or 20" circular needle
Round 1 k 1, p 1.
Using the seed stitch (k 1, p 1), begin with the 1st cast-on stitch. At the end of the first row, join stitches. Make sure circular needle is straight and that stitches are not twisted. You will be forming a complete circle by attaching the ends together with the first stitch.
Round 2: p 1, k 1
Continue using the seed stitch until the body measures 6 in. high. You will have made a tube shape.
Bind off using the seed stitch pattern until there are 11 stitches left. These stitches become the base of the closure flap of the bag.
Continue with the seed stitch pattern for 7 additional rows. Decrease 1 stitch at the beginning and end of each of the remaining rows until there are 3 stitches left.
Cut the cord leaving 24 in. Draw the cord through the remaining 3 stitches.
Using the remaining cord and the Size 1 crochet hook make a 4 in. chain and attach it to the bottom part of the flap creating a loop.
Lay bag flat on a table. Attach the button to the middle front of the bag so that it will coordinate with the loop on the flap.
Weave in all loose ends with the crochet hook.
Make two patches as follows:
Cast on 18 stitches. Using the garter stitch (knit every row) continue for 12 rows. Each patch will measure approximately 1 in x 3 in.
Whip stitch the top edge of one patch near the top inside center of the bag. Place one of the handles between the patch and the inside body of the bag and whip stitch the bottom of the patch in place. Repeat on opposite side.
Cast on 25 stitches. Using the garter stitch (knit every row) continue for 30 rows or until piece measures 4 in. Bind off. Whip stitch the knitted bottom to the baseboard.
Pin bottom in place, then whip stitch the bottom to the round end of the body tube.
Place drawstring liner inside and enjoy!
Shoulder Strap (Optional):
Knit: Cast on 5 stitches and use seed stitch to create strap about 40 in. long. Secure strap to inside of the baseboard and to top edge of bag.

Pediatric disease–related collaborations are well established and typically productive. Fruitful collaborations among groups of clinicians, scientific investigators, and representatives from government, industry, regulatory groups, and others have advanced our knowledge of many pediatric disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), gastroesophageal reflux disease, abdominal pain, diarrheal disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, pediatric liver disease, and pancreatitis.
The present issue of JPGN highlights a report by Sherman et al from Canada on the process of establishing a working collaboration among centers with a focus on IBD (1). We invited commentaries from the leaders of 5 other successful collaborative IBD groups to provide their perspectives. We applaud and encourage collaboration among pediatricians and others involved in the development of innovative and effective evaluation and treatment options for children and adolescents with a variety of chronic disorders.

The Detroit Pistons suffered their worst loss of the preseason Thursday in Miami, where the Heat handed them a 105-78 setback.
While some MLive.com readers were discouraged, many expected it.
After all the Heat won the NBA championship last year, have three of the league's top players – LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh – and the Pistons were a lottery team last season.
So many readers are saying don't put a whole lot of stock into the loss.
They pointed out that Miami is an established powerhouse that could win multiple NBA crowns while the Pistons are young up-and-comers who are still trying to find their identity.
"Relax everyone," wrote reader Scott Fraley. "They got blown out, yes. But this was a lottery team that got blown out in a preseason game against the reigning champs on their home court. It's not that bad. This team still has a reasonable shot at making the playoffs, and with the new fast-paced style, they look to be entertaining in losses. It's really the best we can hope for until the team loses some of its less favorable contracts (and that still puts us in better position than most franchises).
While the Pistons lost by 27 point to the Heat, one reader pointed out that many of the same players helped the Pistons go 21-21 in their final 42 games last season.
"U guys are amking a big deal out of a completly meaningless preseason game against a far supior opponent who had the 3 best players on the court," said reader Tom Wanner. "U realize that this starting lineup u guys are (complaining) about helped the Pistons go 500 the last 40 games or so last year which is much better thenwhat they had been doing. Drummond will start in time he is 19 and very raw with tons of potential. U guys need to calm down and learn some basketball knowledge!"
Reader Ray Johnson-Reid channeled his inner Dennis Green when he cautioned Pistons fans not to get too caught up in the loss to Miami and instead prepare for the Tigers to make a run at their fifth World Series championship.
"They are who we thought were.... so calm down, of coarse we got spanked by the champs," Ray Johnson-Reid wrote. "After a glorious honeymoon last comes the sobering reality that a change has to come, and it will. Just as the youngins have to earn there time, the vets better preform to keep it. Now I ask you which way are you gonna hedge your bets? Be patient, chillax... we are at the dawn the actual transformation of this team. Like dat dude said kick back and enjoy some ball, and let the chips fall where they fall. A World Series title can carry us for now."
Patience is important when following the young Pistons, according to reader Notanoob.
"Ouch! No big surprise though," Notanoob wrote. "We all knew that the Pistons were at the very least a year away from being a good team, and the Heat are the league's best. Just be patient and enjoy some basketball my friends."
While many readers think the loss to the Heat is nothing to get too worried about, others would like to see some of the Pistons' younger players get more minutes in order to prepare for the future.
At the top of that list is rookie center Andre Drummond, Detroit's first-round pick in last summer's NBA Draft.
"Drummond should be starting at Center with Monroe at the 4, Kravstov & Monroe back-up the Center spot and Jonas & one of the stretch 4's back-up the PF position," wrote reader obe1ball. "I'll take my chances with Singler, Jonas, Middleton(he's got one smoooth shot), English and Maggette dividing the SF duties. At least then the young players are getting valuable minutes and not wasting away on the bench. The Pistons can't compete against the elite teams with these tired vets now, so why not get these kids better prepared for the end of the year and beyond by PLAYING THEM."
Others, however, think coach Lawrence Frank is doing the right thing by bringing the rookies along slowly and playing the veterans in order to give his team the best chance to win.
After all, Drummond had four fouls in the first half against Miami and is still getting adjusted to life in the NBA.
"people listen, if we would've started dre drum he would've fouled out by mid 2nd quarter," wrote reader demondog06. "he has potential and he will start. we got spanked by the best team in the league...and we won't be the only one. tay is the best swing that we have right now. max is just a stop gap until dredrum is ready...relax people. L frank knows this team better than any of us."
What do you think?
Should the Pistons be more concerned about the one-sided loss to Miami or is that simply a sign of what the Heat will do against many teams this season?

Topless photos of Basketball Wives LA star Draya Michele, have surfaced. She was topless poolside with a couple of her friends when this picture was taken. I wish some full nude pics of Draya come out. Draya Michele is always getting hated on by some of her fellow casts members but her beauty outshines their envy. I also included some pics Draya did for King Magazine and Show Girlz Exclusive.

Just handled one at my local dealer today. All I can say is I wish I had the cash ($1250) to walk away with it. I love my standard M&P 15 but this is so much nicer. Great to see other manufacturers working with Magpul.

tips on meditation..... dont try to meditate....
many people feel that meditation is some long drawnout ideal with a GOAL....
find and read being nobody going nowhere by Ayya Khema
My steps
step number 1 - sit still
step number 2 - breath regular
step number 3 - focus on the breath as it enters you nose...... feel it, notice it, stay with it
step number 4 - stop when you are done... 1 second 10 years. whatevers clever
the light between your eyes, so what
the sense of transcendence, pah
the out of body experience... bah humbug.
the whole point is to just be... so just be.. if you are thinking about anything you are ego driven... when you think about nothing you are ego-less ( as much as you can be and still be alive and human)
as you can imagine my ego chatters all the time.. it even loves to tell me to breath and focus... damned ignorant bastid. since he wont STFU i just smile and pat him on the head
we dont really get along, he seems to be intent on finding ways to make me notice him... sigh i cant kill him and cant divorce him.
the only thing you can control is your attention..... fortunately it is the only thing you need to control.

These are interesting times for the film industry. In spite of the economic uncertainties of the past nine months or so, Hollywood seems to be weathering the storm pretty convincingly.
Last year's films Mamma Mia and Quantum of Solace broke box office records, and with
Watchmen and the upcoming release of Terminator: Salvation, 2009 seems to be shaping up nicely.
Movie downloads have yet to take off in quite the same way that music downloads have, however, and it's mostly due to the large file sizes of films compared to those of MP3s. But with broadband's ever-expanding customer base and the vast increases in internet speeds recently, your humble PC seems set to become the host of more and more films.
Indeed, Virgin Media's latest 50Mb broadband service is said to be capable of downloading whole movies in under three minutes. Websites such as LoveFilm and iTunes already offer video downloads too, although this market has yet to really get a foothold in the UK.
Of course, the other – albeit legally shady – method of obtaining films is downloading them via torrent sites such as The Pirate Bay. This 'free' method is extremely popular, and the ability to download movies that have yet to be given a cinematic release is unsurprisingly attractive.
Last year's The Dark Knight was the number one downloaded film from said torrent site, with seven million downloads. High-definition rips of films and television shows are also available, so it's no wonder Blu-ray sales seem to be suffering as a result.
There's still a crucial gap with video downloads, however, and that is how downloaded content usually has to be watched via a computer. People may have larger monitors or dedicated media centres connected to their televisions, but largely a home computer remains part of the home office. Laptops are obviously growing in popularity, but a popcorn-munching family gathering on the sofa to watch the latest release on a tiny netbook is probably not the most popular method of watching a movie.
Bridging the divide
Solutions to the digital chasm between the TV and the PC are varied. Both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 games consoles feature high-definition movie playback, but the high price of the former and jet-like fan noise of the latter are not going to inspire people to ditch their DVD player just yet.
This brings us to the arduous process of burning films to disc. Compatibility issues, the sheer amount of time that it takes to burn video files and the fact that physical media seems to be on its last legs suggest that there's a niche market for a cheap, user-friendly go-between device.
Last year Iomega launched a media-playing portable hard disk drive. It functioned like any other portable hard disk, with one added advantage. Connecting the drive to a television enabled the user to browse video files stored on the disk and play them back. It's a truly brilliant concept, because the drive can be set as the de facto location for your downloaded movies and then whipped away from the computer and plugged into your television set for instantaneous viewing.
Now Iomega has launched a similar device, minus the built-in hard disk drive. The ScreenPlay TV Link (see what they did there?) instead features a USB port into which flash drives or portable hard disks can be plugged.
Read TechRadar's Iomega ScreenPlay TV Link review
Western Digital has also recently released a similar device, the WDTV.
Read TechRadar's Western Digital WDTV review
The idea is that many people already have portable hard disks or flash drives, and splashing out on yet more storage should be avoided. It certainly beats having to buy expensive new peripherals every few months...
Quite how we'll be playing our digital video downloads in the future is a matter of conjecture, but it's easy to see hardware like Iomega's TV Link being built directly into TVs, neatly crossing the digital divide and finally giving us an easy way to watch downloaded content on our TVs.

91 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - July/August 2010
($50) Vivid medium red. Lively aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, Asian spices and rose. Fresh and focused, with zesty red fruit and spice flavors and a supple, seamless texture. The finish repeats the tangy strawberry note and clings with impressive spicy tenacity. I really like this wine's purity. These grapes were sourced from the Zena Crown (49%), Shea (33%) and Amalie Robert (18%) vineyards.

Leanne and I chat about Canada's first wine app, and the only one that gives real-time, GPS-based liquor store inventory across the country.
Just scan a bottle bar code and you get instant stock data along with:
– professional wine reviews
– food pairings
– custom shopping list
– cellar maturity dates
– top 10 wines in your closest liquor store
Check out the features here for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad as well as for Android and the mobile site for other smartphones.
Posted with permission from CTV News.
Carol Anne: Now let's find out how to keep all those great wines straight. Let's go back to the roof with Leanne and Natalie for some tips.
Leanne: Well Carol Anne, Natalie has an App for that.
Carol Anne: Really.
Leanne: She is going to demonstrate an App, that you've worked to develop and design, that you felt would be the tool that everyone needed when they're shopping at the LCBO or the SAQ.
Natalie: Absolutely. So when we make our decisions about wine, usually it's because we're not in front of a big computer at home, so this is where an App comes in handy. Because this one, you can scan a barcode and it knows where you are via GPS, it's got the real-time stock data in the liquor store and it will say that wine is just down the street.
Leanne: And you've done that and you're testing it. You actually have, we have images so that you can a little look at what we're looking at here. So this works for, and you can download it how?
Natalie: You can go to iTunes, Apples iTunes, download it there. You can go to Google Marketplace because we've got an Android App, or you can go to nataliemaclean.com because we've got the mobile site for other smartphones.
Leanne: And we have a link on our website to Natalie. So it starts, we're on the kind of a cover page, then we go to My Cellar. What does My Cellar do?
Natalie: Well with one click you can take the barcode, and let's say this is the wine you just bought, you can scan using your smartphone and put it right into your cellar. And a lot of people like to keep track of the wines they buy. Even if you don't have a gigantic cellar, you might want to put a few notes; the label, I want to remember this, I want to put who I was with or what I was eating. That sort of thing so you can know later when you go to the shop again.
Leanne: And that also relates to pairings and your own top 10 list and those are all features of the app.
Natalie: Exactly so what else. The other thing that we did is, we said okay, if you don't know what you want tonight in the LCBO or SAQ, or BC Liquor Stores, if you're out on the west coast, tell me the top 10 wines by price or by score or by wine of type in my closest liquor store now. Tell me what to buy.
Because everybody kind of goes into a liquor store and you see thousands of bottles and this is trying to be your personal sommelier in your pocket. So you scan a barcode and get all the information instantly.
Leanne: Most people would just like to go wine shopping with you I think, Natalie. Someone scored, we just heard a big scream from across the street. But that's great information and I believe we were showing the photos from the App on the screen while we were talking about them.
But now let's just go through some of the other wines you've brought along because we're going to do a quick wrap of this Great Canadian Challenge.
Natalie: Great Canadian Wine Match, that's right. So this side we've got dessert wines, so we've got some lovely ciders from Quebec and again you can just scan the code and find out – are they in the SAQ or LCBO, we've got a port style wine from BC. We've got a late harvest Riesling from Niagara, Cave Spring which is just a lovely, lovely dessert wine.
Leanne: Tell us about the cider from Prince Edward County.
Natalie: Well this is a, both ciders there are made from a variety of apples. People think, oh it must be simple it's just apple, you know fermented apple juice. But it's not.
Both ciders, the one from Quebec and the one from Prince Edward County take a variety of apples, sometimes up to, like 12 or more different variety's, to blend them for that sort of beautiful essence of apple pie in your glass. So it's dessert on its own or you can pair it up.
Leanne: How great does that sound? The essence of apple pie in your glass. Okay, why don't you just mention this from the Rosehall Run folks because this, they do two different wines and they've kept it very simple and…
Natalie: Yep this is a beautiful, zesty white wine and it's only about 14 dollars. It's been nominated in the seafood category, and when I scan this one on the App, it tells me that just down the street there's 12 bottles at the LCBO.
Leanne: Okay fantastic. They also do, it's a Pinot Noir you really like.
Natalie: There's a Pinot Noir and there's a Chardonnay from this winery, terrific.
Leanne: We're almost out of time, there's always more information on Natalie's website, but I had to ask about this one because it's cold and it clearly just came out of your fridge at home. So this is called Featherstone and it's from?
Natalie: A beautiful Niagara winery and they're using Canadian Oak. So it's Canadian on Canadian. I don't know how you get more patriotic than that especially as we're coming up to Canada day, but it's been nominated for best grilled chicken wine, it's lovely match.
Leanne: I want to thank you very much for joining us and we should say large rain drops are falling on our heads.

I was researching where to find these adorable mini sweet stands recently, and stumbled across the website of the company that actually makes them… hello hanna. Not sure if I've been living under a rock or what, but I'm already smitten with this brand! Hello, fabulous placemats! Hello, darling wishing birds! Hello, amazing wishing tree! Hello, creative books!
I'm toying with the idea of using the hello, jungle placemat set for the kids table at my daughter's first birthday party this month. We're doing a parade-inspired theme with lots of elephants & other "parading" animals. Here's a peek at the invite (personal info has been changed).
The placemat colors are a little off from the party's color palette though…sigh… but I might be able to embellish them a little to help tie everything together at the table. If not, next time we'll just have to design a theme completely around one of these sets! =) This robot version is fun too:
Here's a shot of the wishing tree centerpiece, adorned with coordinating extras. {Great reusable centerpiece idea for a bridal or baby shower.} The little birds would also be adorable as glass charms!

Update, 1:09 p.m.:
Here's video of the goal via Bleeding All Blue…
Original Post:
Rangers 2009 first round pick Chris Kreider scored a goal to help Team USA defeat Austria 3-2 in a pre-tournament game prior to the 2011 International Ice Hockey Federation World Men's Championship. The tournament will run from April 29 – May 15 in Kosice and Bratislava, Slovakia.
Derek Stepan and Ryan McDonagh did not play.
All of Team USA's games will be televised on Versus starting on Saturday against Austria at 10:15 a.m.
…could have used that scoring in the playoffs. Wonder if there is anyway the Rangers can get Kreider to change his mind this offseason.

We have seen a spectrum of food production while traveling across the US. It was a breath of fresh air to visit Barthel's Fruit Farm in Mequon, Wisconsin a few weeks ago. The farm is located just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and has been in the family since 1839. On their 90 acres, owners Bob Barthel and Nino Ridgeway produce apples, pears, plums, strawberries, sugar snap peas, pumpkins, herbs, and perennials. Most of their produce is sold directly to customers, either at farmers markets or to people that come directly to the farm to buy from their barn store or to pick their own.
Being on the farm that sunny, fall afternoon and taking a bite of a crisp, just picked, golden delicious apple, reminded me of the value of good, wholesome, nurtured, nourishing food. Below is a short clip of Nino talking about the farm.
Stay Strong,

News Corp. Sets Spinoff Plan
News Corp. on Thursday confirmed its intention to split the media conglomerate in two, separating its lucrative entertainment operations from its publishing business.
"We recognize that over the years, News Corporation's broad collection of assets have become increasingly complex," Chairman and Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch said in a statement. "We determined that creating this new structure would simplify operations and greater align strategic priorities, enabling each company to better deliver on our commitments to consumers across the globe."
One company will house entertainment businesses including 20th Century Fox, Fox broadcast network and Fox News Channel while the other will contain publishing assets, which include The Wall Street Journal and the Times of London along with HarperCollins book publishing and News Corp.'s education business.
News Corp.'s board unanimously approved the plan Wednesday night. Shareholders of the existing company will get one share of the new company for each one they hold.
News Corp.'s Moves
Read about some of the media company's big moves over the years.
Calling It Splits
Several companies have announced plans to split themselves apart in recent years. Read about some of them.
Mr. Murdoch will become chairman and CEO of the entertainment business, while the company's current chief operating officer, Chase Carey, will have the same title at the entertainment company. Mr. Murdoch will also be chairman of the publishing company, but News Corp. didn't specify who would be CEO. "Over the next several months, the company will assemble management teams and boards of directors for both businesses," it said in a statement.
On a conference call, Mr. Murdoch said the publishing company would have a "robust net cash position" so that it could make "the right investments." Mr. Murdoch said he is keen to expand the digital side of his various newspapers and continue to charge readers for content.
"People will pay for news," he said. "It is the most valuable commodity in the world."
While people familiar with the matter have said Mr. Murdoch would like to consider publishing acquisitions, he indicated they weren't his first priority. "I want to be successful and confident…before I go out and look for other newspapers," Mr. Murdoch said in an interview.
Mr. Murdoch said the entertainment company would also continue to focus on expansion."We'll be interested in growing everything," he said.
He said the split wouldn't interfere with the company's stock buyback program, which has increased by several billion dollars in the last year. He did say the pace of buybacks could see a "moderate slowdown."
"Our publishing businesses are greatly undervalued by the skeptics," Mr. Murdoch said in a memo to staff. "Through this transformation we will unleash their real potential and be able to better articulate the true value they hold for shareholders."
The separation is expected to be completed in 12 months. Once the company gets final board approval, it will hold a special shareholder meeting to consider the plan. That meeting is expected to take place in the first half of next year. The company will also need regulatory approval to ensure the tax-free nature of the transaction.
Shares of News Corp., which had rallied ahead of the decision, slipped 14 cents to $22.27 at 4 p.m. on Thursday.
"This is not a fait accompli," Mr. Murdoch said on the call. "There are a lot of steps to take."

Georgia Tech's Paul Johnson has seen a lot of changes in recruiting over the last 10 years in the state of Georgia, particularly in the Atlanta area.
The state has transformed into one of the nation's hotbeds for college football talent, producing around 215-230 high school seniors per year to sign with FBS schools.
Georgia is considered the fourth-best talent base in the country, behind California, Florida, and Texas. And because of that, everybody wants in.
And one reason a lot of out-of-state schools have recruiting success in Atlanta is this: An ever-growing population with no longtime connections to either Georgia Tech or UGA. Families often move to the area for employment opportunities.
"There's a lot of transition — Atlanta is a transition area," Johnson told the AJC. "A lot of people move in and move out. I think the recruiting is different because you have so many more people in here recruiting.
"I don't ever remember it being like this when I was at Georgia Southern. Or even when I first started when I was here, you didn't have all the Big 10 around. Now you've got even Big 12 schools recruiting in here, and the Pac-12 in here – all five of the major conferences. All the other conferences are in here as well.
"It gets pretty saturated."
Due to the heavy competition, Georgia Tech (and UGA) has expanded its recruiting efforts across the East Coast. More than half of the team's 2014 football signees were from out of state. Out of the 10 local products from Georgia, all 10 were from the Atlanta area or close to it.

The Biblical Evangelist
The word "evangelist" is so frequently used today it is suprising to learn that the term is rarely defined in evangelistic literature. An investigation into the scriptural usage of the word reveals that it is employed only 3 times in the New Testament (Acts 21:8; Eph. 4:11; 2 Tim. 4:5). A study of those passages is essential to any biblical understanding of the nature and work of evangelists in the life of the early Church.[1]
In all three biblical occurrences, the evangelist was subordinate to the apostles. Philip (Acts 21:8) was under the authority of the apostles as one of the seven (cf. Acts 6:1-6). In Eph. 4:11 the evangelists were only mentioned after the apostles and prophets. Timothy (2 Tim. 2:5) was a pupil of Paul, and not an apostle.
The assertion of Adolf Harnack that any distinction in the early church between the apostles and the evangelists was rare is not supported by the subordination of the evangelists to the apostles which is reflected in the biblical material.[2] The biblical material indicates that "evangelist" was probably a technical title for some sort of minister in the New Testament other than the apostles, as the prophets and pastor-teachers were.
In the space available it would be impossible to give a detailed exegesis of Acts 21:8; Eph 4:11; and Tim 4:5. This section, therefore, will consist of a brief overview of these verses and a summary of the comments which were discovered in commentary material.
Acts 21:8
First, in Acts 21:8, reference is made to "Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven." This title comes upon the reader without warning and with no explanation. There is no hint in the context as to why or how Philip acquired the title of evangelist. One can only theorize at this point.
F. J. Foakes-Jackson in his commentary on Acts writes, "Philip seems to have gained the title by having been the earliest recorded preacher of the gospel outside Jerusalem."[3] Others believed that the title was given simply to distinguish him from Philip the apostle. Whether or not there is any validity to these speculations, in the final analysis it must be said that Acts 21:8 does not advance our understanding of the nature and function of an evangelist. The only definitive information from the passage is that the term was applied to Philip.
Ephesians 4:11
Second, in Eph 4:11 the evangelist is listed with other titles which are commonly held to be offices in the church. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the evangelist may also have been an office. Though this association is somewhat helpful to our understanding, there is not one word in the context which describes the nature or function of an evangelist. All that can be concluded thus far is that "evangelist" is the title of an office and that Philip held it.
2 Timothy 4:5
Third, at 2 Tim 4:5 Paul exhorts Timothy to "do the work of an evangelist." The absence of the article is deemed significant by some of commentators while being ignored altogether by others. Homer Kent writes, "In this charge to Timothy, the absence of an article before `evangelist' indicates the type or quality of work is being stressed, rather than some official position."[4] If one follows Kent's reasoning, the phrase would be better translated, "do evangelistic work." Why not use euaggelizomai as he did so often in his writing? Why go to such a rare word to express such a common idea? If "do the work of an evangelist" is simply a way for Paul to tell Timothy to "do evangelistic work," then why did Paul only employ this terminology with Timothy. The rare use of euaggelistes in the Pauline vocabulary would suggest a technical use. Therefore, it is probably a reference to an office, or at least, to a special function.
Summary of New Testament Teaching
From the biblical material, we can surmise that "evangelist" is the title of an office which Philip and Timothy held. Both men were subordinate to the Apostles. Although in Acts eight, Philip preceded the Apostles into Samaria, he had to await the arrival of the Apostles Peter and John before his hearers could receive the Holy Spirit. Timothy was sent back to the churches already established by the Apostle Paul. Timothy was given his charge by the Apostle Paul and took his directions from him.
With this in mind, the evangelist may have been a special office that was exclusively used by the apostles either to begin new churches or to ground churches already established by the apostles. If this is true, then the evangelists' perpetuity would be inextricably linked to that of the apostles themselves.
Scholarly Opinion
I have examined hundreds of commentaries on this subject. Of these, only ninety-five make statements concerning the nature of the biblical evangelist. These commentaries consulted include both scholarly and devotional works, and their publication dates range from 1677 to 1986. Thirty-eight of the writers claim the evangelist was a missionary much like the missionaries of today. Surprisingly, the second most popular view (twenty-two) among the commentators is that the evangelists were assistants to the apostles and, therefore, the office was extraordinary and temporary. Fourteen commentators see the term in a basic sense as simply a preacher of the gospel. Six see it as a reference to an itinerant preacher, five in a more contemporary light of a revival preacher, five tie it to Philip, three see it as an employment rather than an office, one views it as impossible to define, and one considers the evangelist as a writer of the gospel.
As this survey illustrates, there is very little agreement on the nature and function of the biblical evangelist. The most significant point in all this is how few of the commentators interpret the concept of evangelist as it is most often used today-one who holds an office which specializes in converting persons to initial faith in Christ usually through "revival meetings."
Roy Fish, professor of evangelism at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary asserts that his extensive study of commentaries has led him to conclude that the evangelist in the New Testament is what "we usually consider it in our denomination and our churches today . . . an itinerant preacher of the gospel, whose primary purpose is going in to win people to initial conversion to the Christian faith."[5] Fish's findings, as reported, differ from the findings in this article. The difference may be explained in Dr. Fish's definition. His definition seems to suggest a missionary function, not a contemporary evangelist.
I have demonstrated that most of the commentators see the evangelist as a missionary. It is, however, a far stretch to say that these men were describing the contemporary evangelist. The contemporary evangelist usually goes into areas where the gospel already is established. These areas already have a continuous gospel witness and many established churches.
Some of the commentators expressly state that the New Testament evangelist is not the "evangelist" of the modern day. William O. Carver writes, "He [the evangelist] was nearly what we call a home missionary, or a city missionary, not at all corresponding to our professional `evangelist'."[6] H. E. Dana adds,
[Paul] did not instruct Timothy to make occasional trips out into the providence of Asia for a two week revival meeting, but to devote some time to pioneer missionary work, pressing the boundaries of the gospel propagation into new territory.[7]
Space will not permit a thorough discussion of each of the opinions expressed in the commentaries. However, it is informative to see how few of the commentators describe the evangelist in modern terms, and how many of the commentators claim that the office of the evangelist no longer exists. In viewing the office as temporary, many of these men followed John Owen's reasoning.[8] The strongest argument in favor of Owen's opinion is the fact that no biblical qualifications for the evangelist exist. The strongest ecclesiastical support for this argument is that the confessions, when speaking of permanent ecclesiastical offices, do not include the evangelist.
In summary one can only approximate the concept of the biblical evangelist. The paucity of biblical material and the wide differences in scholarly opinion militate against dogmatic conclusions in this area. However, some things can be affirmed.
First, the evangelist is listed with other offices at Eph. 4:11. Second, Philip and Timothy had this title ascribed to them. Third, both of these men were subordinate to the apostles and seemed to assist them in their missionary efforts: Philip going before the apostles to establish a church, and Timothy coming after the apostles to ground a church in doctrine. Fourth, no qualifications for this office were given in the Scripture. The lack of biblical qualifications casts a shadow over the perpetuity of the office in the ecclesiastical order of the post-apostolic church. Fifth, most of the scholarship refuses to identify the biblical evangelist with the modern concept, and much of the scholarship affirms the temporariness of the office. With these facts in mind, it is highly probably that the evangelist described in the Bible may not exist today, and if he does, he is probably functioning as a missionary rather than a "revival meeting" preacher.
Calvin on God's Providence
"The whole world is governed by God for our salvation . . . that those whom he has elected may be saved."
"God embraces us so lovingly in Christ that he turns to our advantage and welfare everything that befalls us."
"Nothing will more effectually preserve us in a straight and undeviating course, than a firm persuasion that all events are in the hand of God, and that he is as merciful as he is mighty."
"Ignorance of the providence of God is the cause of all impatience."

January 1, 2003, 01:27 PM
thanks for your reply.
it seems like a good site and im going to email them, but im not sure if thir thin enough. im looking for practicly paper thin so i have no or very little loss of sensitivity when using a light trigger pull.
January 1, 2003, 02:09 PM
Frankly, if you are looking for a good thin shooting gloves, you're essentially describing a driving glove. Lok into that. I know a couple of manufacturers that market their driving gloves under a different label as shooting gloves.
January 2, 2003, 12:59 AM
Have a look at the Hatch Operator glove.
Have used mine for everything imaginable the last few weeks.
Shooting, loading mags, putting on snow chains etc.
They hold up realy well, and are thin enough to even wear while turning single pages in phone- and other books. :)
If thats not good enough, you can cut off the trigger finger, without the rest of the glove coming apart.
They are great to wear, I don't get cold fingers (chilly but not cold) even when they are wet and it was 19F (-7C) outside. When it got below -10C I have to use other gloves. :uhoh:
They are available from Hatch (http://www.hatch-corp.com) with both long and short sleeves.

Not bad...
...but I got bored completing the tutorial. It was a little too long & gameplay is just a bit too slow. The tutorial character is REALLY annoying. There's enough bad grammar in the technology based world. I don't have the patience or amusement for it when trying to learn how to play a game.
The music could use some work as its tempo doesn't match the tempo of gameplay. Because the music is so fast, it actually made the game seem slower. It's also not very pleasing to the ears. Thankfully, my favorite in-game option was available so I could mute it.
Open feint achievement pop ups kept getting in the way. Trying to select an object, I'd find myself in Open Feint. While it would pause the game, I still had to replay levels for better scores; had to figure out where I left off, adding unnecessary completion time & decreasing score.
Graphics are cute with a great color scheme. An update to support retina display would be a fantastic addition as would integrating Game Center.
The weekly contest is a great idea!! Monthly updates with new levels help to keep the game new & fresh which can be difficult to accomplish/implement. Job well done here Devs!
I'm a huge fan of logic/physic puzzles and really enjoyed the first Finger Physics. Thumb Wars has the potential to be as great as the original...just needs a couple of tweaks.
I picked this up while it was free, but overall, especially with new levels added each month, probably worth the $0.99 price tag.
much better than i expected
Wow. The icon for this game looked really cheesy and I didn't know what to think of this game but it's free today and it's an openfeint enabled game so I figured I'd get it and try to boost my openfeint points. It turns out this game is really cool! It's actually a nice puzzle game that has physics involved and reminds me a bit of tiki totems which i really like as well. The basic idea is to get one cicle thingy to land on another one collecting stars while it's moving. You move it by doing stuff like breaking glass pieces, hitting it against pieces that have pins in them, gears in them, etc. It's actually a really cool game and it's fun trying to figure out the puzzles! This is the kind of game that keeps me entertained for hours and can be played for as little as a few seconds as a time so it's a great pick up and play game.. when you start it up it goes right back to where you left off! very nice!
Fun puzzler with some Rube Goldberg appeal.
I expected this to be similar to the other finger physics game but it's actually pretty unique. You need to get a blue circular thing to hit a pinwheel thing. You do this by manipulated objects in certain ways depending on the type of object. Glass blocks disappear when you touch them, striped blocks can be moved, certain blocks are on pivots or springs, some explode, etc. It has really a very nice graphical music and a decent soundtrack. I actually prefer this over the balancing games. Absence of in-app purchase sales pitches are icing on the cake here (as of this writing you get the whole game for the purchase price as far as I can tell).

text: DATE=2/28/2000 TYPE=BACKGROUND REPORT TITLE=IRAN STUDENTS NUMBER=5-45529 BYLINE=SCOTT BOBB DATELINE=TEHRAN CONTENT= VOICED AT: INTRO: Reformers won an overwhelming victory in Iran's recent elections, thanks in large part to the major role students played in the elections. Correspondent Scott Bobb talked with some Iranian student leaders about the elections and about their aspirations for the new parliament. TEXT: Election day was chilly in Tehran, but people still turned out in record numbers to elect a reformist parliament by what would prove to be a landslide. As polls began to close that night, students standing in the cold night air outside a mobile polling station talked about their hopes for the next parliament, or majlis. Zahr Kharsani says the Iranian people have many problems that need addressing. /// KHARSANI ACT /// Everything, our society, and the economic problems, and everything. The people are under pressure now. /// END ACT /// Reza Talebari, a mechanical engineering student, says the presidential election three years ago marked the first big victory (for the reformers) -- people delivered what he calls a "big no" to the forces of repression and monopoly. That election, he says, brought reform to the executive branch of government. This election will bring reform to the legislative branch. After that, he says, the next target will be the judiciary, which is still controlled by Islamic conservatives. ///TALEBARI ACT. IN FARSI WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATION/// (Laughs) It's not that hard you know. Gradually, little by little, once our good representatives find their way into the majlis, gradually they start whispering about the essential things. (Laughing) And it's not farfetched to think of changing our constitution. /// END ACT /// Student protests led the Iranian revolution 21 years ago. And Iranian observers say student protests last July boosted the shift toward reform in the Iranian electorate. A leader of the students' union at Tehran's Khajeh- Nassir Toosi University, Jamal Zaherpour, does not believe the Iranian revolution has ended. But Mr. Zaherpour, a graduate civil engineering student, says there are deep problems. ///ZAHERPOUR ACT IN FARSI WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATION/// There have been deviations from the principles of the revolution. There have been mistakes. /// END ACT /// Mr. Zaherpour cites as an example special courts that have been used to imprison reformist clerics and journalists. And he notes that, over the years, special privileges have been granted to some members of society. At the same time, he says the people became disillusioned and participated less and less in politics. A colleague, electrical engineering student Soheil Tajbakhsh, says the wave of reform was partly a reaction to the previous parliament, the fifth majlis. ///TAJBAKHSH ACT. IN FARSI WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATION/// During the fifth majlis some laws were passed which were not in accordance with the people's need. We want the annulation (annulment) of those laws. And also we want laws passed to ensure freedom of the press and freedom in society, and also providing reforms for the economic situation. /// END ACT /// In a bare conference room at the national alliance of student unions, called the Student Consolidation Office, spokesman Nimo Fateh discusses the overwhelming victory by the reform movement. ///FATEH ACT. IN FARSI WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATION/// This is basically an evolution of the revolution. To us, to the students, there are three important slogans, the Islamic republic, independence and freedom. And anytime any of these are distorted or are threatened, then there's a reaction. /// END ACT /// Many student leaders say the revolution was hijacked from them. They say the Islamic character of Iran is important, but they want to revitalize the ideals of the constitution to guarantee greater social freedom and freedom of expression and political activity. At the polls on election evening, a student named Abedin Farahani predicted the election for Iran's sixth parliament would be a historic event. /// FAREHANI ACT IN FARSI WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATION /// We are at an important moment in our history. The reforms have already started. And if we continue the trend of reforms, we think we will reach a point where we will have democracy and freedom. /// END ACT /// Most student leaders urge caution. They note the student movement was set back last year because of violent protests that led to the imprisonment of many leaders. As a result, they support gradual reform because they say the conservatives are still strong. (Signed) NEB/SB/GE/KL 28-Feb-2000 13:09 PM EDT (28-Feb-2000 1809 UTC) NNNN Source: Voice of America .
