A Lenten tradition in Western Christianity is to meditate upon the journey Christ took to Calvary. These stations or steps are found both in the Scriptures and in the traditions and legends of catholic Christianity. For many this practice is used to participate in the suffering and sacrifice endured by Christ. I encourage you to also take up this journey seeing within each station a calling for the modern, progressive Christian to grow in the ways and love of God. Meditate upon each station considering the questions or thoughts presented with a Scriptural verse to ponder and a brief prayer of the heart. In John 15:12 Jesus tells us, "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." Only by walking with Christ and seeing just how much he truly loved everyone can we begin to love others in the same fashion.

This year, PACE (The President's Advisory Committee on Ethical Eating) joins forces with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee to focus on environmental justice and food workers' rights, particularly the rights of restaurant workers. To honor these workers, we have timed the beginning of our campaign to coincide with International Workers Day on May 1. The official start of 40/40/43 is n May 5th and it extends 40 days to June 13th.

Avowed atheist Susan Jacoby recently created a dust up with a recent article in the New York Times Sunday Review entitled, "The Blessings of Atheism." She wrote in response to all the god-talk that appeared in the immediate aftermath of the Newtown massacre; with all those unanswerable questions or inadequate answers to human suffering and death so often peddled in popular religious belief.
So too, not long ago author and "non-believer," Christopher Hitchen's posthumously published his little book Mortality; recounting his rambling thoughts on his own imminent demise; after a terminal diagnosis left him a sufficient number of days to find himself "deported from the country of the well across the stark frontier that marks off the land of malady."
But what, or where to, after that? What if this really is all there is?
It seems there has always been the human hankering to imagine all kinds of fanciful notions, in our attempts to recapitulate our mortal existence into something more than it is. Many religious traditions, including centuries of "mainline" orthodox Christianity, employ great mythic stories to describe a life subsumed into something greater than we can either know, or grasp, except by "faith." Heaven knows, some folks try to better themselves, merely in the hope of a remote possibility there something more, after our death, which is a certainty. But in the end, is it all dust and ashes? And is that OK?
This is the liturgical time of year when many in the Christian tradition undergo a seasonal pilgrimage in which the faithful are reminded at the onset we mortals are nothing more than dust. And so we will one day return to that from whence we came. Then the traditional forty days end with the perennial re-enactment of a passion play commemorating the mortal demise of the one whom Christians even these many centuries later would profess to follow.
Many do so in the hope of some kind of immortality for themselves in some indecipherable form or other; attributing to Jesus a "resurrection" that means the same thing to them as god-like immortality; while others of us may find such imaginings to be not only reasonably implausible, but of less importance than what we take to be of greater significance and meaning in this faith tradition.
Otherwise, the vainglorious hope of immortality can become so enshrouded in our mortal fears that we become – like Lazarus in his early grave – so wrapped up in death that we fail to truly acknowledge and appreciate the gift of our mortality for what it is; nothing more, nor less.
With the certain assurance then that we are but dust and ash, we can ask ourselves if the gift of our mortality is not only enough, but more than enough? And if so, as the psalmist says, how then shall we "number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom?" (Psalm 90:12)

Jesus was merciful, but didn't receive mercy. He forgave the people who were about to kill him, but they killed him anyway. Yet we are still haunted by his assertion of the possibility of a world in which mercy works both ways.

Hi there. I'm a PhD student researching the personality differences between atheists and Christians. I'm currently in need of more male churchgoers to participate. If you fit this description and have about 20 minutes, please visit: http://www.godsurvey.org. Thanks.
Tags: atheism, atheist, personality, research, survey
I have a new blog post on why atheists can't really be sure of anything they believe. It might be helpful. Check it out at: http://dontforgettothink.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-to-show-evolution... and good luck with your research!
For what it is worth, EAAN has been pretty roundly refuted over the years. It is not a new argument, or a compelling one - and not because people don't understand or want to deal with logic - but because of flaws in Plantinga's argument (his argument only works under very carefully constructed situations, not reality).
And most of the rest of it rests in solipsism - which has its own attendant problems.
Also - yeesh - thread necro. I didn't notice the date on the OP - sorry.
Really? By whom? Have you read the debate between Dennett and Plantinga? It seems like EAAN is pretty sound. If it's not too much trouble, could you summarize the best argument against it? I would be very interested in knowing that!
Yes, I just realized how old the thread is too. Whoops.
Arguing to uncertainty, for one, is a basic fallacy.
Also, he neglects to mention that even if his argument is sound, his metaphysical/supernaturalism has the same uncertainty worry. That is, his counter theory is equally flawed, by his own same argument.
Additionally, and more completely, Paul Draper has a good argument here:
With that said - this discussion is probably better held in the Great Debate - than on the main boards.
Thanks, I'll check that out. However, I think you may be misunderstanding what Plantinga is saying. He's not saying we can't trust our truth-seeking faculties. He is not arguing to uncertainty. Quite to the contrary, he is saying that we can trust our faculties, that they do fulfill their apparent purpose of seeking the truth, and therefore, because of the (still un-refuted) E. A. A. N., naturalism is not the best explanation.
If the naturalism hypothesis were veridical, then we could never know it. As Churchland (certainly not a "creationist") has said, on naturalism "Truth, whatever that is, takes the hindmost."
Does that makes sense?
*Quick edit: Just to clarify one step further, Plantinga's argument is only susceptible to inscrutability if naturalism is true. Since we can trust our truth-seeking faculties (a fact vigorously defended by naturalists such as Dennett), this indicates that naturalism is not true. We would have to go to great lengths to deny both our common sense and the usefulness of the scientific method to affirm naturalism--something I doubt you or I would be willing to do.
EAAN on Wikipedia. Did not read the whole thing; it's late. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_argument_against_naturalism
I was weirded out by the use of probability (!) in metaphysics. Lewis did a better job, I think -- but as I said, didn't read it all.

Comments about Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiters for Women:
I have been wearing these as a field gaiter to work my dogs in the wet grass and lite woods. So far so good. They are not bulky at all and since I am short the fit is great. If you had long legs they might not be high enough.

Worked Great
By Avid Hiker
from Wisconsin
About Me Avid Adventurer
Wore these daily on a week long trek thru Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior. It rained every day so these were a blessing to have. Held up great to all the wet/muddy conditions, feet and legs stayed dry, did not overheat. This was a purchase well worth it. A little pricey, but this is one of those that "you get what you pay for". Definitely a item of need for any hiker. Only problem I encountered was the fit. I ordered by shoe size (I'm a women 9.5), so I ordered a Lg. This was too big so I exchanged for a Med. These work, but still a bit large in the calf part. I will keep them and deal with the little bagginess.

First of all, the product is very light and the fabric is soft, no tough feeling. It keeps your hiking shoes clean and also it is very easy to clean after hiking.
great gaiters!
By Reverend Trusty
from Seattle, WA
REI had these for about $12 more even when factoring in shipping costs. they only had them in blue at REI, and i wanted them in black. tried them on at the store to get the right size using the shoes/boots i would be wearing to avoid exchanging. OR makes great quality gear - i own several pieces. these gaiters were my pick for the best quality/durability at a reasonable price. i was a touch disappointed that there was an "OR" logo instead of the cute flower like shown in the pic, but not a big deal. i used them first with snowboarding pants that were a bit bulky, so they were snug, but still good. they work best for me with a few thinner layers. my feet were warm and dry without getting all sweaty. they kept the snow out of my shoes and can be worn with jeans on snowy walks to keep your legs dry. very pleased with the purchase. :)
Absolutely would purchase again!
By Sally Snowblossom
from Storrs, CT
I am living in Connecticut only for the winter months, December-March. We have had record breaking snow with no warm weather to provide melt off between storms. Just getting to the mailbox, or to the bird feeders, or to my car to clean it off has required the use of these gaiters. Before they arrived, even my highest winter boots resulted in snow-dampened feet and jeans.

Microsoft promises it won?t jack up prices for Xbox One gamesDate: Mon, 17. June 2013 13:25:47
Microsoft doesn?t exactly need any more negative publicity for the Xbox One, which is why the company was eager to quash rumors that it would start charging more for games on its next-generation console. A Microsoft representative told Polygon�late last week that it will sell new Xbox One games for $60 each, the same price that it charges for Xbox 360 games and the same price that Sony will charge for games on the PlayStation 4. The Xbox One has generated quite a bit of controversy in the gaming community for its connectivity and used games policies, and it has also been criticized for being $100 more expensive than the Playstation 4 because of the mandatory inclusion of its next-generation
Nintendo to launch the world?s ugliest portable console this fallDate: Wed, 28. August 2013 23:45:06
Nintendo?s newest portable gaming console may be ugly but at least it?s cheap. The Japanese gaming company announced on Wednesday that it will start selling its new Nintendo 2DS portable console on October 12th for a rock-bottom price of just $129.99. Nintendo says the console will play all Nintendo 3DS games in 2D and that it has been ?designed specifically for anyone looking for a more affordable entry point into the world of Nintendo hand-held video games.? While releasing a cheaper portable console is certainly a smart move on Nintendo?s part, the fact that the new console cannot be folded and is aesthetically rather unappetizing may make it a tough sell. Nintendo?s full press release follows below. Nintendo Offers Unrivaled
NVIDIA exec believes new consoles will push PC gaming forwardDate: Wed, 12. June 2013 19:30:40
Even though NVIDIA was passed over for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the company?s senior vice president, Toni Temasi, is excited for Sony and Microsoft?s next-generation consoles. Both gaming systems, and even Nintendo?s Wii U, are powered by hardware designed by rival chipmaker AMD. But�Temasi said that the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have helped close the performance gap between PC and console gaming, The Verge reported.�The executive noted that the company?s $1,000 GeForce GTX Titan graphics card is roughly two and a half times more powerful than the PlayStation 4, compared to 13-times more powerful than the PlayStation 3. He believes that the new consoles will help ?raise the bar? for PC gaming, adding that developers will no
FIFA Producer: Xbox One and PS4 Are Like Super-Charged SportscarsDate: Tue, 27. August 2013 17:05:00
There's one thing we can be certain about with next-gen consoles: they can make games look very, very good. I've seen games running on both consoles, and they're beautiful. But that has been true for previous console generations, and I'd argue that it isn't the most important thing the new hardware will do. The real question is: beyond looking prettier, how will the Playstation 4 and Xbox One actually change the games we play?
New consoles, online games to keep market soaring to 2017Date: Sat, 7. December 2013 22:49:37
The global video gaming market is set to grow 11.1 percent a year until 2017, boosted by a new generation of consoles and the increasing popularity of online games, according to IDATE digital research and consultancy firm. Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft, which are jostling for control of the gaming market, have each released the latest versions of their consoles ahead of the Christmas shopping season. The wave of new devices is expected to keep the market buoyant until 2017, IDATE said. Home consoles like Sony's PlayStation or Microsoft's Xbox, which make up 31 percent of the market today, are expected to have a 40 percent share of the total market in 2017.
Here's What Assassin's Creed Will Look Like on Xbox One and Playstation 4Date: Thu, 12. September 2013 15:50:00
Publishers and consumers are both in a tricky spot this video game release season. The Xbox One and Playstation 4 are the most exciting things that have happened in console gaming in years, at least as pieces of hardware. But the install bases of current-gen hardware will dwarf next-gen, and so any developer looking to break even on a AAA title like an Assassin's Creed or a Call of Duty needs to put out games that straddle all four major consoles. Hence, you'll be able to play nearly all of the biggest games whether you decide to make the console jump or not.
Yet another big publisher is steering clear of the Wii UDate: Wed, 7. August 2013 21:00:56
You won?t be performing Dragon Shouts on your Wii U anytime soon. Joystiq reports that Bethesda, the developer behind smash-hit games such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 3, has no plans to release any games for Nintendo?s newest console at the moment and all of its announced upcoming games will release only for the PC, the PlayStation 4 or the Xbox One. This isn?t as big a deal for Nintendo as you might think because neither Skyrim nor Fallout 3 ever released on the original Wii. All the same, Nintendo could really use a lot more help from developers on the Wii U, especially since game publishing giant EA has announced it has no plans to bring
PlayStation 4 may be able to stream PlayStation 3 gamesDate: Mon, 18. February 2013 22:26:33
Sony (SNE) has offered backwards compatibility with the PlayStation 2 and select models of the PlayStation 3, however it was rumored that older games would not be supported on the PlayStation 4 due to the move to an AMD chipset. But according to a report from The Wall Street Journal, the company isn?t prepared to leave the classics behind with the release of its new gaming console. Sony will reportedly use technology that it acquired from cloud gaming firm Gaikai last July that can stream older games to the PlayStation 4. It is unclear how the company will charge for streamed games but it may be the case that users will be forced to purchase online versions of games they
GameStop warns that Microsoft could ?significantly diminish? appeal for new Xbox if it bans usedDate: Fri, 8. February 2013 16:24:11
Information surrounding Microsoft?s (MSFT) next-generation Xbox leaked earlier this week and suggested that the system will require an always-on Internet connection. The report also reinforced earlier rumors that claimed Microsoft?s new console would be unable to play used games. Speaking to Bloomberg on Friday, GameStop (GME) spokesman Matt Hodges cited a company survey that found consumers would be less likely to buy a console that limits trading in pre-owned games. ?We know the desire to purchase a next-generation console would be significantly diminished if new consoles were to prohibit playing pre-owned games, limit portability or not play new physical games,? Hodges said. Microsoft is expected to unveil its next-generation Xbox at the E3 gaming conference this summer. The console is
How Microsoft plans to make the Xbox One the go-to platform for indie developersDate: Tue, 20. August 2013 20:00:44
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has very strong feelings about developers so it?s no surprise that the company is placing an emphasis on drawing more independent developers to its Xbox One gaming console. Microsoft on Tuesday unveiled its new ID@Xbox program that aims to let ?qualified game developers of all sizes to unleash their creativity by self-publishing digital games on Xbox One.? Developers interested in publishing games on the new console simply have to sign up to become registered developers and then Microsoft will give them access to the Xbox One development kits. Microsoft says that it?s looking for game companies ?with a proven track record? of shipping games for PCs, consoles and mobile devices for the early phase of the

I include corn in black bean dip / refried beans. Puree together 2 cups cooked black beans, a tomato, an onion, juice of one lime, corn, chili powder, cumin, hot peppers, and a bit of salt if there is none in the beans. Then cook over medium heat to reduce.
10 Tasty Ways to Use Canned Corn
Canned corn is super affordable even when it isn't on sale. When it gets marked down to less than fifty cents a can, it's time to stock up for the long haul. Here are ten tasty ways to use up those cans you have sitting in the back of your cupboard.
Sex up your salsa.
When I was cruising the aisles at the nearest Super Target the other day, I noticed a particular type of gourmet salsa and nearly picked it up. It was your basic organic tomato salsa with the addition of corn kernels and black beans. Since I had all three of those things back home, I decided to make my own for significantly less money. It was such a hit with the hubster, I'll be doing this more often to be sure.
Side salad ingredient.
I'm sure there are other recipes out there, but I whipped up one last week based on a basic idea from a friend. Quinoa and black bean salad. Since I had extra canned corn and a few other ingredients such as cilantro and jalapenos, I decided to get creative. Those ingredients plus a lime juice, sea salt and olive oil dressing made for a protein rich dish we enjoyed as a side with dinner, and for lunch for a couple of days afterward.
A cheesy, crowd pleasing side dish.
Whether you bake up a batter style casserole or go for the spicy cheese and corn in the crock pot option, cheesy corn side dishes are usually a hit when cooking for kids and adults alike.
Budget friendly shepherd's pie.
Toss it in with some browned ground beef, onions and an additional can of creamed corn and top with seasoned instant potatoes. Bake it off in the oven and serve with a crisp green salad.
Superior soup ingredient.
Not only can canned corn jazz up chowders and bisques effectively, it's also great for broth based soups when you are running short on fresh ingredients and need something else to round it out. Toss on some sophisticated soup garnishes and you'll be dining in style.
Put some in a meal muffin.
They can be made with cornmeal or homemade biscuit mix, but meal muffins are a great way to add pizazz to brown bag lunches or beef up main courses of thinner broths and purees. Add in corn or leftover chopped cooked broccoli, and extra chopped meat from last night's dinner such as chicken or ham.
Pan roasted as a sassy side dish.
Toss in some zippy seasonings and mix in some fresh chopped herbs when you're done to take canned corn from hum drum to hubba hubba. Consider this with a Tex Mex dinner theme, or with fried chicken and a greener vegetable.
Green salad add-in.
I'm big on choosing salad ingredients with oomph. Corn certainly has that and makes for a healthy filling option when trying to transform salads into meals. As with the salsa, black beans pair nicely with this option for a taste of the Southwest that will leave you feeling satisfied.
Jazz up the cornbread.
I like to add in canned corn, jalepenos, crushed dried red pepper and shredded cheese when I'm serving cornbread with a meal. It takes it to the next level flavor wise, and makes an excellent side to crock pot chili. Again, if you're having it with a thinner and less hearty soup, sassing it up with canned corn and other ingredients will ensure your hungry eaters leave the table full.
Not exactly low calorie considering the oil and syrup, but an affordable day time snack or after dinner treat nonetheless. Corn fritters are great way to please company and family alike while keeping the grocery budget on track.
These are my top ten picks for using canned corn on the home front. Other budget ingredients that can go the distance menu wise are canned fruit, surimi, canned salmon, peanuts, frozen spinach, pumpkin and potatoes.

Do you have any tasty recipe ideas for canned corn you'd like to share?
This post was submitted to Wanderlust and Lipstick's Wanderfood Wednesday. Stop by to see other food related posts and photos.
Is another great dish.
One form is using ground sausage that you cook and drain and mix with cream style and regular corn.
One of my favorites though is to take real spicy Keilbasa style sausage and cut into small rounds...fry it up and then fry chopped onions and peppers in the drippings and then add all of it to a mix of cream and regular style corn. Serve up and sprinkle with grated cheddar or put in a casserole, top with prepared corn muffin mix (instead of making muffins) and bake.
Those both sound interesting folks, thanks!

Wow great ideas, what good ways to save money!What about other canned products, any ideas for grean beans or peas?
Hi Stephanie,
Glad you liked it. Other than the canned fruit article linked to above (Linsey's piece), the only other canned food article I can think of is this canned pumpkin recipes post. Oh, wait. I just remembered this piece that Paul Michael wrote about canned spam.
Since you asked though, I'll have to put my thinking cap on about other canned vegetables.

Right now in Minnesota (a little earlier for points south) fresh sweet corn is so cheap it's almost free - 28 ears for $4 last week. That means sweet corn at every meal and plenty left over for the freezer.
I'll have to try your baked corn side dish idea - we eat a LOT of salsa with corn, and cornbread & beans in the winter time. YUM.
You're right. This post was more about using the canned stuff, but when it's in season, the fresh stuff goes for a song and is SO tasty. Thanks for the reminder.

It contains BPA. Choose glass jars and bottles instead of cans, especially when buying soda, preserved vegetables, or soup. Or opt for frozen vegetables over canned.
BPA testing in canned food.
We contracted with a national analytical laboratory to test 97 cans of food we purchased in March 2006 in three major, chain supermarkets in Atlanta, Georgia; Oakland, California; and Clinton, Connecticut. The lab tested 30 brands of food altogether, 27 national brands and 3 store brands. Among the foods we tested are 20 of the 40 canned foods most commonly consumed by women of childbearing age (NHANES, 2002), including soda, canned tuna, peaches, pineapples, green beans, corn, and tomato and chicken noodle soups. We also tested canned infant formula. The lab detected BPA in fifty-seven percent of all cans.
Independent laboratory tests found a toxic food-can lining ingredient associated with birth defects of the male and female reproductive systems in over half of 97 cans of name-brand fruit, vegetables, soda, and other commonly eaten canned goods. The study was spearheaded by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) and targeted the chemical bisphenol A (BPA), a plastic and resin ingredient used to line metal food and drink cans. There are no government safety standards limiting the amount of BPA in canned food.
More than 100 peer-reviewed studies have found BPA to be toxic at low doses, some similar to those found in people, yet not a single regulatory agency has updated safety standards to reflect this low-dose toxicity. FDA estimates that 17% of the U.S. diet comprises canned food; they last examined BPA exposures from food in 1996 but failed to set a safety standard.
As a child, that was the way I was usually served it as well. Now that I'm watching calorie intake more, I tend to lay off the butter. But it sure is tasty that way, no doubt.

An easy chowder recipe is leftover diced ham, 1 can regular corn, 1 can creamed corn, and diced potatoes. Throw it in a crockpot in the morning with a bay leaf and lots of freshly ground pepper. (We make a vegetarian version of this with a meat analog.)
Annie, I'm loving the simplicity of that chowder idea. Sounds like it could also easily be stretched with milk to feed a few more, if necessary.

In bigger cities and in Mexico, street vendors take grilled corn and dunk it in butter and slather in mayo. Then, they roll in parmesan cheese or crumbly queso and top with chili powder. They either serve it like that or they make it "neat"..cut it off the cob and serve in a cup with a spoon. Make Mexican corn like the street vendors do. It's not an every day dish...(butter and mayo) but it's great for company or to jazz up a boring meatloaf. Just drain a few cans of corn and toss in a casserole dish, add a few pats of melted butter and a few tablespoons of mayo. Mix in salt, pepper, chili powder (or paprika for those with less spicy tastes) a few squeezes of lime and pamesan cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until bubbly! Delicious!
Or make cowboy caviar. Mix different beans, a can or two of corn, a can of tomatoes, diced chilis or jalepenos, a chopped onion and black olives. Pour Italian dressing over the top and let it sit for at least a few hours to overnight. Serve alone or with tortilla chips. Cheap and very tasty.
We get through soooo much canned corn in my household. Thanks so much for all these wonderful new ideas. The Cheesy Corn Casserole and the Corn Fritters will both make delicious naughty treats. :D
Another thing I just can't resist pointing out (sorry!) is that Shepherd's Pie is made with Lamb, not beef (The clue is in the name!) The similar beef dish is called "Cottage Pie".

Charges Counter revolutionary offense
Mr. Behzad Madibeigi is one of 1000 people identified in a UN Human Rights Commission's Special Representative's Report, "Names and particulars of persons allegedly executed by the Islamic Republic of Iran during the period July-December 1988," published January 26, 1989.
The report specifies that although 1000 names are mentioned, "in all probability" there were several thousand victims. "Most of the alleged victims were members of the Mojahedin. However, members of the Tudeh Party, People's Fedaiyan Organization, Rahe Kargar, and Komala Organization and 11 mollahs were also said to be among the alleged victims."
The circumstances of this defendant's arrest and detention are not known.
No information is available on Mr. Madibeigi's trial.
No information is available concerning the charges against Mr. Madibeigi.
The report does not contain information regarding the evidence provided against the defendant.
No information is available on Mr. Madibeigi's defense.
No information is available on the judgment or whether an appeal was allowed. Mr. Madibeigi was executed in September, 1988.
Read about the courts, the judges, and the procedure.
Special courts, known as the Islamic Revolutionary Tribunals, were set up after the February 1979 revolution. Their jurisdiction encompasses a wide array of offences ranging from association with or support of the former regime, promotion of foreign influence, and enmity with the revolution to possession, use or sales of narcotic drugs, murder, and profiteering. In the 1980s, a penal court, presided over by one judge, was created to handle some of the offenses punishable by death, such as theft or adultery. These tribunals' decisions must be confirmed by a chamber of the Supreme Judicial Council.
Prosecutors and judges are not necessarily jurists. By 1981, the judiciary was purged of judges trained in law schools. They were replaced by seminary graduates and students, as well as by political appointees (an estimated 2000 by 1989). Since by law judges are only required to have a high school diploma and must be faithful to the Islamic Republic's tenets, new recruits often have little formal training in the law and are chosen because of their political affiliation.
The procedures of these ecclesiastical tribunals fail to meet the minimum guarantees for fair trial as established by international human rights instruments and by sha'ria (the Islamic system of law). In addition to executions ordered by revolutionary tribunals, extra-judicial executions are carried out, targeting dissidents and opposition leaders. In some cases, both inside and outside of Iran, these executions have been traced back to Iranian officials. It is, however, not known if in these particular cases trials are held in absentia.

Read about the conditions in which individuals were detained, tried and sentenced.
Between July 1988 and January 1989, thousands of political prisoners throughout Iran were summarily executed in the Islamic Republic's prisons.
Following a July 1988 order by Ayatollah Khomeini, several three-man commissions comprised of representatives of the Islamic Revolutionary Courts, the Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office and the Ministry of Intelligence were formed in Tehran and the Provinces. Over a six-month period, these three-man commissions subjected thousands of political prisoners (from various leftist religious and secular groups), most of whom had already been tried and convicted, to formalized interrogation sessions.
The interrogations or inquisition-style trials were designed to discover the prisoners' political and religious views. They sometimes lasted a few brief minutes and bore little resemblance to any judicial proceedings aimed at establishing the guilt or innocence of a defendant charged with a criminal offence under the law.
The commissions did not inform prisoners that these interrogations were retrials that could lead to their executions. Defendants had no access to legal counsel and were not given the opportunity to defend themselves or to appeal the commission's decision. Those who where deemed "unrepentant" were sentenced to death. The sentence was generally carried out immediately after the proceedings.
The executions were not announced publicly and families were informed of the executions weeks after they took place.

Zakaria's Right-Wing Wishlist 'No Labels' Infomercial
Who needs Fox when you've got CNN treating their audience to god-awful programming like Fareed Zakaria's Memo to the President: Road Map for Second Term? It's been airing on their network over the weekend, and it's nothing more than one more long infomercial for group No Labels, advocating for every item on the right's wishlist, from economics to foreign policy.
What was missing? Even token representation from anyone in the progressive or labor movements. Instead, there was interview after interview with Republicans, neo-liberals, DLC Third Way "centrists" and advice from some of the last people we should be listening to -- because their very bad policies are what got us into the economic mess we're in now.
In a portion of the program which focused on economic policy, the audience was treated to former Reagan and Bush adviser James Baker -- which makes sense, because who better to talk about what President Obama needs to do to fix the economy than a leading member of the same administration that blew a mile-wide hole in the deficit with tax cuts and a couple of wars they left off the books?
For "balance," he follows up with Robert Rubin. The same Robert Rubin who helped Bill Clinton deregulate the derivatives market and then went on to work for Citigroup while the rest of the country was left with the economic time bomb of deregulation and "too big to fail" he helped to put in place.
Zakaria also decided we needed some sage advice from Mitch McConnell's wife Elaine Chao, who served, as Jim Hightower put it, as George Bush's anti-Labor Secretary, and who helped our most "anti-labor president of modern times" to degrade our protections and rights in the workplace and that wages were kept as low as possible. How could we possibly have a discussion on what to do to improve our economy for the American working class without her input?
And for more "balance" yet, we were treated to Peter Orszag, who left the Obama administration to go work for Citigroup just as Rubin did, and who has been out there pushing for "reforms" -- in other words, cuts to our social safety nets and reductions in Social Security and Medicare benefits.
And there's more where that came from with the entire guest list and their conflicts of interest. You can read the entire transcript here and the full transcript for the segment above below the fold.

Eegees food quality has always been great! But I see the menu got a little more expensive when they changed to the newer lower case logo revamp.
Wish their sandwich of the month would be reduced at least a dollar off in price so they were a bit more competitive with that Subway $5 deal. But eegees is great!
Closest thing you'll find to a Chicago hot dog in Tucson. Fries are excellent.
Kool Tortas variety of sandwiches and home made tortas is a winning combination
I just realized it has been 40 years since the first time I had an Eegee's. It's been about two weeks since the most recent. Eegee's is one of the greatest restaurant ideas in Tucson, I always get the original grinder and a Pina Colada and I will continue to do so. Gotta love the Ranch Fries, too, but the cholesterol is too much for an old fart like myself.
I may only be 24 and from Kansas, but this place has the best Hot Wings and Sandwiches I have ever had. They know how to make good food here, and will gladly provide without raiding your wallet. I haven't met a sandwich here that wasn't toothsome, certainly don't hesitate to venture away from the top ten. The Chicken Caccitore, Eggplant Parm, and Philly Phanatic are all worthy of your attention, if you order the Italian make it a grinder.
Be prepared to be nice to the servers, generally there's only one on staff (in addition to one of the owners), so they can get overworked if there's a sudden rush.
East Coast Super Subs (ECSS) produces excellent subs; there's no two ways about it.
This is where I go in Tucson for the best hot sandwiches. You'll see a ton of reviews on other aggregates like Yelp! -- but the hype really is warranted. Go here; you won't be disappointed.
The menu details a variety of subs, but highlights the top ten. The *Broadstreet Bully* and the *Jimmy McKenna* are exceptional and worthy of their #1 and #2 rankings.
However, even the sandwiches excluded from their most popular rankings are still righteous (i.e. The Philly Fanatic). The bread rolls ECSS uses on their subs really makes them special.
Jason's Deli has closed in Tucson. The franchisees have gone out of business as of May 30 2010 at both locations.
Huge portions, good service, joint could use a little deep cleaning.
I don't know which is better for a hangover, lemon eegee or menudo?
This _was_ La Ferlita's (Feruta's?) and it's been closed for at least four years. Now Giordano's. I liked La Ferlita's pizza better.
Good prime rib sandwiches, make sure you share because they are huge!
Always a treat to eat there when in town. Great sandwiches and soups, and the staff are very pleasant.
Absolutely the best Philly cheesesteak in the area. Try one with the cheese-whiz on it. Frankie himself recommended it (along with the garlic option) ... and it was FABULOUS! We stop there now on the way to the Univ of Arizona football games to pick up a couple of cheesesteaks to take along. Frankie's is well worth the experience!
Delicious, fresh-tasting sandwiches. Great variety of choices. Best bread.

I made, over the years in Cambridge, several very good American friends, and America appeared to me, a land of promise in every sense of that word, a land of freedom from the inhibitions and restrictions that I felt in England.

It is very, very difficult for a playwright to write a scene in which a young man has his first deep experience of sex with a girl whom he found immensely attractive, is fully satisfied by this event and gets up and blinds a lot of horses.

[CHAPTER 31] [Page 1] NEGRO EDUCATION, 1900-1940 The self-sufficiency of the educational system that the free people of color had fostered proved its salvation during the Civil War. Private tutors, schools under Catholic supervision, and several schools under the direction of Negroes continued to function, although either directly or indirectly, most of them came under military influence. A few of these educational institutions served as centers around which Federal authorities began educational efforts on behalf of the freedman. For a time military rule and Negro education were closely connected. Out of this connection two things emerged; the encouragement and sustenance of private schools already in existence; the organization and operation of new schools under government control; and the instruction of Negro soldiers. Before the Civil War was ended several noteworthy advances had been made in Negro education, and larger plans were made for its acceleration. The Federal authorities encouraged the formation of "Republican schools" for both whites and Negroes in New Orleans and in either occupied portions of the State. During the administration of General Butler "free public schools were opened under the auspices of the free colored people, and no distinction was made in regard to the former status of the pupils.1" Mrs. Ludger Boguille, at first superintendent of the Douglass school for Negroes, later cooperated with her husband in the operation of another "Republican school,"2 while the Trevignes continued to operate their private school in

Living in Madison
Whether you're looking for apartments in Madison with a metropolitan vibe or near spacious green parks – Madison has it all. Hip young professionals can often be found in the Schenk-Atwood neighborhood, which is known for its tight-knit community vibe. Families may find the Vilas neighborhood to be a better suit, because this area has a suburban feel without distance restrictions from the city and all of its amenities.

Madison Apartments and Cost of Living
The majority of Madison apartments were constructed in the 1980s and later, so people looking for a bit of historic charm may have some difficulty. Around 7 percent of housing was constructed within the last couple decades, so many rentals will have modern finishes and a cosmopolitan feel. Couples will have no problem finding a rental because nearly 40 percent of dwellings are occupied by two people.
According to Best Places, the overall cost of living is about 12 percent higher than the national average, but renters will notice the higher cost as a direct reflection of the high quality of life. If you're looking to ditch your car before moving to Madison apartments for rent, you may want to look at rentals in the Capitol, South Campus, Marquette, Vilas and Greenbush neighborhoods, which are the most pedestrian-friendly.
The cost of a gallon of gas is around the same as the Wisconsin average, according to Areavibes.com, so renters needing a vehicle to get around won't have to suffer too much at the pump.
