Hayedeh (April 10, 1942 – January 20, 1990) was a legendary Persian classical and Pop singer with a contralto vocal range. In a career spanning more than 20 years, she had many hits. More than two decades after her death, Hayedeh is considered one of the most influential and iconic Persian vocalists recognized as one of the most popular 20th century singers. Her real name was Ma'soumeh Dadehbala (Persian: معصومه دده بالا) Hayedeh was born in Tehran with roots from Kermanshah, in Kurdistan. She is the older sister of another famous Persian singer, Mahasti. Hayedeh's professional career began in 1968 at the age of twenty six as a singer on a Persian traditional music Tehran Radio program called "Golhaa-yeh Rangarang" (Colorful Flowers)( گلهای رنگارنگ) directed by Davoud Pirnia. Hayedeh studied Avaz (Persian vocal music) with the famous Persian violinist and composer Ali Tajvidi. Hayedeh performed her first hit song "Azadeh" which was composed by Tajvidi on the lyrics of Rahi Mo'ayeri. Performing this work with Golha Orchestra in 1968 at Radio Tehran introduced Hayedeh's vocal talent to Persians who warmly received it."Azadeh" which was composed by music by Ali Tajvidi, and was written by Rahi Moayeri was Hayedeh's first official hit. It was first performed in 1968 on Radio Tehran with the Gol-ha Orchestra and was later released by Ahang-e Rooz Records. In the 1970s Hayedah added Persian pop music to her classical Persian repertoire. In this period Hayedeh worked with several songwriters, such as Fereydoun Khoshnoud, Jahanbakhsh Pazouki, Anoushiravan Rohani and Mohammad Heydari. "Bezan Tar", "Gol-e Sang", "Nowrouz Aamad", "Eide Tou" and "Soghati" were among her memorable works during this period. On August 29, 1978 shortly before the Iranian Revolution, Hayedeh emigrated to the United Kingdom. She stayed there for three years and moved to the United States in 1982 to continue her career and live close to her sister Mahasti. Hayedeh lived in Los Angeles from 1982 until the end of her life. The growth of the Persian community in Southern California due to the increasing number of people leaving Iran after the revolution bolstered Hayedeh's career in the 1980s. Heyedeh released many successful albums during this time and many songs of her were bootlegged in Iran as well. Hayedeh's political and nostalgic songs such as "Rouza-ye Roshan Khodahafez" and Faryad became very popular with the Persian (Iranian) exile community. Some of her other hits were "Shabeh Eshgh", "Gol Vajeh", "Ravi", "Bahaneh", "Eshareh", "Ghesseyeh Man", "Zendegi" and "Nargeseh Shirazi". Hayedeh's songwriters in the US were mostly Farid Zoland, Sadegh Nojouki, Mohammad Heydari and Andranik. Lyricists she worked with were Ardalan Sarfaraz, Homa Mir-Afshar, Iraj Razmjou but the lyricist who wrote most of Hayedeh's songs and hits was her best friend Leila Kasra (a.k.a. Hadieh). She was featured in two of her albums reading her songs. Kasra died in 1989 a few months prior to Hayedeh's death, after a long struggle with breast cancer. During the 80's Hayedeh played sold-out venues in the US, Canada, Europe, and other places in the world. Hayedeh regularly appeared on the Los Angeles Persian TV channels such as Jaam-E-Jam TV and IR TV. In some of her TV programs. Hayedeh criticized Iran's fundamental regime and was a supporter of monarchy. Hayedeh married and divorced three times and had three children named Kamran, Keyvan and Noushin Nouri, all of whom live in the US. Her eldest grandson "Soheil", who is the first born son of Keyvan Nouri, is currently pursuing a career as a freelance composer in Los Angeles. The public fascination with Hayedeh's personal life, as is true for all great performers, attracted a great deal of scrutiny of her private affairs. However, as is customary, most of Haydeh's so-called trivia were based on rumors. On the afternoon of Saturday January 20, 1990, the day after her concert at the Casablanca Club in San Francisco, California, Hayedeh died from a heart attack at the age of 47. Hayedeh had complained of discomfort since the morning but her doctor in Los Angeles had assured her that it was nothing serious. Hayedeh had a history of heart problem, diabetes and hypertension. She also had a history of alcohol and drug abuse, and was a smoker which led to her poor health shortly before her death. Her father was also a diabetic who died from a heart attack. Her two older brothers died of heart attacks, as well. She also dealt with depression after being exiled from Iran up until her death. Hayedeh's death shocked and saddened Persians around the world. On January 24, 1990, Hayedeh was buried at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, California. Her funeral was attended by thousands and most of the Persian singers and entertainers in exile. Khosrow Motarjemi, a Persian IT expert in California, recorded a video of this three and a half hour concert, which for unknown reasons has never been officially released. That night Hayedeh told the audience: "Life is like an express train...I am going to the House of God. Who knows what will happen in the future; I may not be alive tomorrow...", then she performed one of her last songs, "Man Mikham Be Khoune ye Khoda Beram" (I want to go to the House of God). The song's lyricist, Leila Kasra (Hedieh) who was Hayedeh's best friend, died of cancer a few months before Hayedeh. Hayedeh was recording an album shortly before her death and was due to finish recording it after she returned from her concert in San Francisco. Hayedeh was last interviewed one week before her death. The magazine which had the interview was released a day after her death, the issue became a bestseller. In the interview Hayedeh said that she was tired of rumors about her and said that she was going to continue her work and expand it even more anti spam server such as aol high speed internet word Insurance buy car insurance online auto insurance price quotes if credit reporting as well as Credit report additionally Mortgage auto cheap insurance affordable term life insurance in the same fashion / way mesothelioma treatment options Treatment surely asbestos lawyers affiliate program pay per click on this side a+ certification microsoft alongside Rehab crack rehab centers way cheap online trading even Trading in summary cordblood bank beside store umbilical cord blood do store umbilical cord blood store umbilical cord blood down at t telephone or arizona attorney divorce bad credit home buyer bad credit home buyer number switch gas and electricity suppliers even switch gas and electricity suppliers however asp hosting server sql web even attorney illinois injury in detail aarp hartford insurance abbey banking e national austin hair laser removal along with advice debt free augmentation breast georgia as well as auto insurance quote rate at and t cell similarly atlanta attorney divorce arizona attorney divorce drug treatment centers mesothelioma treatment options keep Insurance buy car insurance online auto insurance price quotes only accident lawyer truck angeles hair laser los removal instantly car donation centers Donate said aarp insurance additionally atlanta hair laser removal business electricity price comparison coupled with switch gas and electricity suppliers crm software programs additionally help desk software cheap for instance for the purpose of refinanced second mortgages even though arizona criminal lawyer anti spam exchange as a matter of fact accept business card credit or air miles credit card in other words Hosting managed web hosting solution overall Treatment beside mesothelioma treatment options in contrast arizona attorney divorce acid reflux disease door Mortgage by all means auto california in insurance antispam appliance high online classes business administration and online classes business administration start credit card balance transfer zero interest for Transfer australian domain registration association management software design attorney california tax at and t cell first, second Conference Call coupled with significantly criminal justice degrees online for example psychology bachelors degree online Hayede Album KHODA HAFEZ has 13 musics

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos last night completed his bargain-basement takeover of the Washington Post, which he bought for $250m in cash.
When the buyout plan was announced in August, 49-year-old billionaire Bezos said of the bold move: "This will be uncharted terrain and it will require experimentation."
While other internet moneybags shell out millions - or even billions - of dollars on profit-hungry Web2.0 properties such as Instagram and Tumblr, Bezos has taken on his own risk by injecting cash into a faded media starlet.
The acquisition brought to an end an 80-year-long family business: the organ's boss Donald Graham ceded control of the paper to Bezos after declaring the Amazon supremo a good "steward" for the publication.
WaPo clearly needed help. It lost £39m in 2012 and sales have nearly halved over the past six years.
Little has been shared about Bezos's plans for the Post, its affiliated publications, and the 2,000 employees working for the company.
But he will immediately bring in a "financial cushion", the newspaper said as it announced the deal had closed on Tuesday.
It added that the paper will now have "time to conduct experiments that could lead to a successful business model" under the guidance of Bezos, who founded online retail giant Amazon.com in 1994 - two years before the Post began publishing its articles online. ®

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Lionsgate must truly believe that American audiences will blindly adore any foreign
martial arts release, just so long as the fight action never ceases until the credits
roll. Kung-Fu Master tests that theory by splicing together fight scenes from a
Chinese martial arts television series, sprinkling in a few minutes of plot, and
slapping a generic title in epic-looking font on the front of the DVD case.
Tan Zong, played by veteran martial arts actor Yuen Baio, is but a humble, kung-fu
master, Shaolin monk. His skills have unfortunately attracted the attention of the
Grand Commandant who wants Tan Zong to train his army. As a monk, he must detach
himself from worldly affairs and decline the offer. As the monk makes his way to
speak with the Grand Commandant, he is forced into a fight at every turn.
Through most of the film it seems as though every gang of weirdos within travelling
distance wants to pick a fight with the peaceful monk for no apparent reason. Poor
Tan Zong can barely take two steps without getting attacked with a coffin, musical
instruments, umbrellas, spears, benches, and swords, among other weapons
The early fight scenes are difficult to follow at times because of the frequent
camera close-ups of the action. Most of the fight scenes feature creative use of
weaponry and, if nothing else, make for amusing fights. It's an odd pleasure to
witness a Shaolin monk battle a coffin. Oh, and don't try to stab the monk. While
blunt objects exhibit at least some minor effectiveness, sharp and pointy metal
weapons bend like a flimsy piece of rubber when they strike Tan Zong's impervious
skin. Some of the fighting scenes are well choreographed, but just as many leave
you scratching your head and questioning what just happened. At some point in all
the madness you have to wonder why anyone ever bothers to attack Tan Zong with stabbing
The excellent finale features Tan Zong and his crew of twelve monks facing off against
an entire army and almost makes this movie worth checking out. However, there are
major issues with the movie itself that will turn off all but the most hardcore
fans of the genre.
Kung-Fu Master has a barely existent storyline. Admittedly, martial arts flicks
are hardly known for their Oscar-worthy, masterpiece plots. However, there should
be at least the illusion of reason for the nonstop fight sequences. I never bought
into the minimalist plot of some warlord wanting Tan Zong to either be his
drillmaster or be killed. At the end of the movie, Tan Zong is joined by his merry
band of monks--an interesting group, most of whom were conspicuously absent until
the final fight. There is a painfully obvious amount of missing characterization
and plot development. The story leaves too many questions unanswered and assumes
viewers are thrilled simply to watch pure, uninterrupted wire-fu for 95 straight
Lionsgate fails to mention that this "movie" is merely a clips show of the television series,
Legend of Shaolin Kungfu
II, the middle part of a 120-episode television series. That explains the
gaping plot holes at least. What might be an interesting story was hacked and trashed
into what American audiences really want: an orgasm of random martial arts violence.
Who cares why! That monk dude just beat up a gang of ninjas that attacked him with
Audio: The DVD includes English and Mandarin 5.1 Dolby Digital tracks. I listened
to the Mandarin 5.1 track for this review. The surrounds were barely used, but the
sound quality is decent for what I later discovered was originally a television
series. When the actors actually act they play their parts a bit too cartoony at times compared to the
expectations set by the DVD packaging, which seems to promise a serious, historical,
martial arts epic. "Hero. Warrior. Savior."
Video: The video is presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen. The video quality
exhibits noticeable graininess and pixelization throughout, which is especially
visible in darker scenes. The video often looks cheap with the awkward camera panning--it's
like watching a soap opera on television that just happens to feature kung-fu fighting.
Overall, the video quality is shoddy at best.
Extras: There are some trailers included.
Final Thoughts: There's nothing that stands out in this abridged, 95 minute, best-fights
version of a 40-episode television series. I didn't find out the movie was a cut-up version
of a series until after I initially watched it, which made me go from mere
dislike to pure hatred for this DVD. Kung-Fu Master's story is nonexistent, the
characters are undeveloped, and the fights are lackluster until the phenomenal final
battle. Perhaps the fully fleshed out television series is much better than this
hodge-podge of kung-fu fighting. Until it's released in-full, we'll never know.
Martial arts film buffs might find some value here, but there are probably hundreds
of better kung-fu films than this one that are actually movies. Skip it.

Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego, California
May 24 – October 5, 2014
On the occasion of Aperture's sixtieth anniversary in 2012, a select group of contemporary photographers have each responded to an Aperture publication that has been influential in forming their work, paying it artistic homage. Each commissioned artist in Aperture Remix has created a new work inspired by the ideas that they have found most influential or of greatest concern in the earlier work.
The range of participating artists and the diversity of their approaches reflect the multifaceted and elastic nature of contemporary photography. The works that each artist has created for Aperture Remix—incorporating new images made in response or interventions with the original publication itself—comprise a way of mapping the enduring influence of Aperture's publication history as it relates to contemporary practice.
In 1952, one of Aperture's founders and the first editor of the magazine, Minor White, wrote, "Growth can be slow and hard when you are groping alone. It quickens when you meet other photographers who have worked and thought intensively about their medium. You listen, and ask, and a phrase sticks in your memory like a barb. You see a photograph that blazes with significance. Suddenly a way of working, dim till then, comes clear before you." Frequently, this meeting of minds takes place via the pages of a book or a magazine; we encounter photographers and artists via the publication of their work. And once published and released into the public sphere, a body of work takes on a life of its own, crossing geographic and generational boundaries, becoming open to new readings. Aperture Remix traces this network of influence; an extended community of shared interests and critical precedents.

OROVILLE >> A judge has ruled there is sufficient evidence to hold a Brush Creek man for trial on charges stemming from an alleged assault in June and a subsequent search.
Butte County Superior Court Judge Stephen Benson made his ruling for defendant Andrew Allen Frerks, 62, following a preliminary examination Tuesday.
Frerks is charged with felony counts of assault with a firearm on an officer, resisting an officer, and being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
The defendant was previously convicted of voluntary manslaughter for his role in a July 1989 shootout that led to the death of his then-16-year-old son, Jason.
The judge ruled there was insufficient evidence to hold Frerks on two felony counts of dissuading a witness from testifying, but ruled there was probable cause to sustain two counts of dissuading someone from reporting a crime to authorities.
Alleged assault
During Tuesday's hearing, Butte County sheriff's deputy Jesse Nicholaw testified about meeting Frerks' daughter and her family at Oroville Police Department on June 25. Under questioning by deputy district attorney Michael Sawyer, Nicholaw said the daughter and her husband reported an alleged incident the day before at Frerk's residence on the 900 block of Milsap Bar Road in Brush Creek.
The woman said her children had gotten on a boat owned by Frerks. The defendant became angry and allegedly fired what sounded like gunshots. The woman later told sheriff's detective Matt Calkins that Frerks had been unhappy with her yelling at the kids and Frerks allegedly discharged the weapon inside the house.
The woman went inside the residence to call 9-1-1, but Frerks allegedly prevented her from calling. The defendant allegedly grabbed her by the throat and struck her across the face.
The woman had red marks on her jaw and lip and some bruising on her arms, Nicholaw said.
The woman's husband told Nicholaw that Frerks took the key to their pickup. The man said he persuaded Frerks to return the key the next day by saying they just wanted to leave and they wouldn't contact police. Frerks reportedly turned over the key and $50 and the family went to the police station.
The husband also reported a June 14 incident where he saw Frerks and the defendant's in-home care worker, Rodney Alan Baker, allegedly inject heroin. The defendant allegedly said he would shoot the husband if he told the daughter or anyone else.
The search
Following the interviews, Calkins obtained arrest and search warrants, which were served at 7:30 a.m., July 8. Because of the reports of weapons activity, a SWAT team led the initial entry onto the property.
Officers detained Baker as he was working on a car about 100 feet from the small cabin residence.
Deputy Silver Paley said he carried a ballistic shield and led the initial entry into the house. He said an officer loudly knocked on the door and officers repeatedly said they were from the Sheriff's Office to serve a search warrant and demanded entry.
After 18-20 seconds, Paley entered through an unlocked front door while two diversionary noise grenades were fired.
Paley saw Frerks in a recliner about three steps into the house. The defendant was allegedly leaning forward and attempting to reach something from a bookshelf. As Paley passed Frerks, the officer saw Frerks had placed his hand on a gun.
Paley alerted other officers to the weapon. Calkins and other officers tackled Frerks to the ground, the defendant allegedly fumbled the handgun and it fell to the floor.
The weapon was a 9 mm Ruger handgun. The search uncovered a loaded .22-caliber revolver in the kitchen and a .22-caliber rifle and ammunition outside the front door. Officers also found ammunition in common areas and in a loft where Baker resided.
During defense attorney Robert Radcliffe's cross examination, Calkins said Frerks told him that he believed he was being attacked when officers entered. When asked about the earlier incident with Frerks' daughter, Frerks said he slapped her in self-defense after she kicked him in the knee.
Officers said they could communicate with Frerks without the defendant needing a listening device. Frerks used a hearing aid during Tuesday's hearing.
A trial date may be set at Frerks' next court appearance Aug. 14.
Baker is scheduled to enter an initial plea to felony counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition on Sept. 4.
Frerks remains in custody with $460,000 bail. Baker is out of custody.

North Pointe Junior Gold Championships Begin Monday In Detroit
ARLINGTON, Texas - The nation's top youth bowlers will descend upon the Detroit metro area starting this weekend to compete for nearly $275,000 in scholarships and spots on Junior Team USA at the 2013 North Pointe Junior Gold Championships.
The first round of competition gets underway Monday with a record 2,328 United States Bowling Congress youth members eligible to participate in the event, which is presented by Ebonite, Columbia 300, Track and Hammer.
The North Pointe Junior Gold Championships will take place at six bowling centers in suburban Detroit. The boys competition will be held at AMF Rose Bowl in Roseville and Sterling Lanes and Sunnybrook Lanes in Sterling Heights. The girls will compete at Astro Lanes in Madison Heights and 5 Star Lanes and Bowl One in Sterling Heights. The final two days for all competitors will be at Sunnybrook Lanes.
The competition will begin with 15 games of qualifying from July 15-17 for all participants. One out of every seven bowlers will advance to the next round, where an additional five games will be bowled July 18. After 20 games, as many as 64 bowlers in each division will advance to five final qualifying games the evening of July 18 before the field is cut to the top 16 in each division for the double-elimination match-play bracket July 19.
Bowlers will compete in four divisions - 20-and-under boys and girls, and 15-and-under boys and girls - and the format will be the same for each division for the entire tournament. In bracket play, matches will consist of two games with the highest pinfall advancing.
All four of the event's defending champions will return this year with their sights set on taking home another trophy. AJ Johnson of Oswego, Ill., and Robyn Renslow of Brentwood, Calif., won the 20-and-under division, while Bradley Crouse of Nazareth, Pa., and Breanna Clemmer of Clover, S.C., won the 15-and-under division last year.
BOWL.com's BowlTV will have free live streaming of the event starting July 18 at 8 a.m. Eastern and continuing until the champions are crowned the afternoon of July 19.
Automatic Junior Team USA spots will be awarded to the top two boys and top two girls in the 20-and-under division after 25 games of qualifying. Additional automatic spots will be given to the winner and runner-up after bracket play in the 20-and-under division. If one or both of the finalists in the bracket already earned a spot through qualifying, the automatic spot becomes an at-large selection.
The National Selection Committee will select two boys and two girls from the match-play field, with all bowlers, including 15 and under, eligible for at-large selection. The final eight spots - four boys and four girls - on Junior Team USA will be determined at the USBC Team USA Trials in January.
The North Pointe Junior Gold Championships has a history that dates to 1998, when the event was held at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev. That event drew 538 participants.
This year's event has sold 2,328 spots, shattering the previous record of 2,102 set last year in Indianapolis.
For more information on the event, visit BOWL.com/JuniorGold.
The United States Bowling Congress Youth Open Championships begin Thursday at Sterling Lanes in Sterling Heights, Mich. The event takes place Thursday through Saturday and then returns July 18-28.
The non-qualifying tournament is patterned after the USBC Open Championships and USBC Women's Championships. Youth bowlers compete in team (four players), doubles, singles and all-events.
The tournament, which will award an estimated $90,000 in scholarships this year, has four age-based divisions - U8, U12, U15 and U20.

I couldn't have cleaned that fish either.ReplyDelete
By the same token, I eat beef and ... needless to say ... I'm relying on the behind-the-scenes folk there too!
You're braver than me. I'm a veggie too and I really can't abide raw fish, even though at a pinch, if it's all there is, I'll eat it.ReplyDelete
That beach looks like a fisherman's paradise ... pity about the sandflies though. Where next?
That first picture is beautiful. The colours of the earth, the sky,the little splash of blue on your van. Glorious.ReplyDelete
PS My non blogger husby is really enjoying reading your posts over my shoulder:)

I am so enjoying your posts. I thought I would comment and tell you thank you for sharing your adventure. Lisa L., Ontario, CanadaReplyDelete
Love that shot of all the fisherman lined up along the beach. Is it the first time you've eaten fish since going veggie? I cook it for the kids as I think it's good for them (and they don't get meat unless their dad cooks it for them). I don't mind cutting it up but couldn't stomach cooking meat.ReplyDelete
It looks like paradise Kate and your girls look so happy. What lovely neigbours to share their fish.xReplyDelete
over this way we love fish. Mr loves fishing and we love eatings it. It is divine when cooked straight from the ocean, best way to have it. There is no way I could do anything even remotely close to gutting it however. But because I married a warrior - he loves it.ReplyDelete
Fishing is not all about the catching. It's the experience of the time waiting, contemplating and anticipating the catch;) love the shot of all the fishermen lined up. Have a great day - oh - our post card arrived too! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Well it looks like it was a great experience - whether they were biting or not. cheers WendyReplyDelete
We don't fish either, but we are determined to have a go this summer when my fisherman brother comes down to teach us all the tricks. I always drive across the bridge admiring the peacefulness of people fishing..ReplyDelete
Not. a. care. in. the. world.ReplyDelete
Gives the 'gone fishin' signs a whole new meaning. I didn't think I liked to fish until my dad gave me a rod last year when we were on holidays and I could have stayed knee-deep in water for the entire day. Something about it... x
I never prep the meat that I eat- that's my secret.ReplyDelete
Sand flies. Ugh! Memories from beach visits in a childhood past...
Safe travels x
Thanks for sharing the photos of your travels. The beach looks awesome!ReplyDelete
looks amazing kate. i think i will have to jot it down in the book of "another trip for another day. enjoy and safe travels to you allReplyDelete
Oh wow. Scaling fish. Urk. Good on you for giving it a go - I think.ReplyDelete

Driver crashes into gas pump in Caledonia
A woman lost control of her SUV Tuesday night and crashed into a gas pump in Caledonia.
According to WISN 12 News' partners at Caledonia Patch, the woman was driving north on Main Street when she had unknown emergency, became dizzy and lost control of the Honda Pilot.
She struck the pump at the Mobil station on Three Mile Road and North Main Street just after 7 p.m.
A small fire started but was quickly extinguished.
"I just heard a big old boom," neighbor Joey Cooper said.
Cooper said he grabbed his cellphone and ran next door to capture video of the flames shooting up from one of the gas pumps that had been knocked down.
Neighbors who live behind the gas station told WISN 12 News they thought something exploded in their apartment because the crash was so loud.
"It was kind of crazy. We all ran outside. We thought it was in our apartment when we heard the boom sound," Beth Kretchmer said.
The driver was taken to Wheaton Franciscan Hospital in Racine.

The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) is running ads on the websites of the Washington Post and The Hill citing a potentially fraudulent survey which claims that "72% of opinion leaders support coal electricity."
Brian Angliss over at Scholars and Rogues tears the ACCCE claim apart, revealing how the coal industry's favorite front group is cooking up some crazy statistics in an effort to convince the public that three quarters of America's "opinion leaders" just can't get enough coal into the fire that's wrecking our climate.
Angliss asked ACCCE to cough up the methodology for this prestigious survey of theirs, but didn't get a response. So he ran some rough calculations of the ACCCE definition of "opinion elites" against Census Bureau and labor statistics data and found that as little as 0.4% of the country would qualify as "opinion leaders" in ACCCE's test. Errors abound in other aspects of ACCCE's survey acumen, according to Angliss.
"In summary, the survey as its described in the ACCCE press release suffers from a number of critical problems: an amazingly tight definition of the survey's population, no defined margins of error for any of the questions individually or for the survey in its entirety, an unexplained discrepancy regarding how many years the poll has been taken, and an outright lie," he wrote.
A more accurate description of ACCCE's survey would be "We handpicked 600 filthy rich people and coal industry executives for our survey, and (only) 72% say that coal is the greatest thing ever, so it must be true. Forget renewable energy, let's burn this mother down!"
In the cautious lingo of a scientist, Angliss concludes that "it's almost certainly accurate to say that the ACCCE advertisement is unsupported bunk."
Almost certainly, indeed.

If you actually shut down the coal industry the number of "opinion leaders" demanding coal power be put back on line would be more like 99%. There is just too much money involved to do anything about coal now. Too much demand for power and desperation to keep the economy going.

I disagree. Yes, there is too much money involved and too much demand to eliminate all coal plants. However, this does not mean we need to build new ones, nor does it mean those plants can't lower their emissions by 20%, and nor does it mean we should refrain from putting a price on carbon so it's true costs aren't externalized. We can do LOTS about coal RIGHT NOW without putting that industry and those workers out of business – and without impacting other sectors of the economy – while still lowering emissions towards a sustainable target.

72% sounds about right.
72% sounds about right. People who depend on coal know it to be the only currently viable means (other then nuclear) to provide them with the energy they need.

The coal 'users' might not realize it, so they can't be blamed until they know what they do and cause to the environment. It's the responsibility of the participating companies as well to inform the right thing to their customers.

These may include resources such as peer-reviewed collections of course syllabi, lesson plans, course lectures, etc. Normally, STP only lists cost-free resources which have been prepared to assist graduate, undergraduate and high school teachers of psychology; these links do not generally include any materials developed by private, individual, or commercial providers of clinical services (e.g., private or group clinical practices).
Online Psychology Laboratory (OPL) is the first funded psychology project in the National Science Digital Library. This initial offering provides users with highly interactive, web-deliverable experiments and demonstrations, a cumulative data archive from which students can retrieve datasets for analysis, and pedagogical materials that link psychological sciences to curricula in high schools, community colleges, and 4-year institutions. Phase One of OPL is currently active with 26 fully usable experiments and links to supplemental resources. Psychology students can collect data, analyze data, and report their findings for class assignments or individual projects. Further, OPL provides useful resources that have applications in the disciplines of statistics and the biological bases of human behavior. Please visit at http://opl.apa.org.

The Assessment CyberGuide for Learning Goals and Outcomes in the Undergraduate Psychology Major (Task Force on Undergraduate Psychology Major Competencies, Board of Educational Affairs, American Psychological Association) The APA Task Force on Learning Goals and Outcomes has rolled out "The Assessment Cyberguide" online to assist departments with assessment planning. The cyberguide features a series of about 12 articles devoted to tips and information that can help departments make decisions about how to invest their time in assessment planning and maintenance. These include specific evaluation recommendations regarding how each of the ten goals recommended in the Task Force report could be targeted. The ten goals and related outcomes will be up for review and approval by the APA Council of Representatives in August, 2003.
The following principles for undergraduate education in psychology are designed for creating: A world-class educational system that provides students with the workplace skills needed in this information age; A solid academic background that prepares them for advanced study in a wide range of fields; and The knowledge, skills, and abilities that will enhance their personal lives. A quality undergraduate education is designed to produce psychologically literate citizens who apply the principles of psychological science at work and at home. We urge all stakeholders in undergraduate education in psychology to incorporate these principles in establishing goals and objectives that fit their specific institutional needs and missions.
These standards were designed to enhance quality curricula, to express learning goals for students, and to promote change in the teaching of the high school introductory psychology course. This document represents a vision of what students should know and be able to do after completing the high school psychology course.
