Hugo Sánchez: La Liga's Underrated Goal Machine
We are living in an era filled with freakishly good goalscorers. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have defied the odds for over a decade now, posting ridiculous tallies come the end of every season and shattering records in Spain and the rest of Europe. Outside of those two, Mohamed Salah just broke the Premier League record for most goals in a season, Harry Kane seems well on his way to taking the all-time top Premier League goalscorer crown away from Alan Shearer. Elsewhere, Gonzalo Higuain recently matched the single season record for most goals in a Serie A season and Edinson Cavani became PSG's all-time top goalscorer, just two years after Zlatan Ibrahimovic broke the same record.
In the history of this sport in Europe, one would find it hard to find, not only a player who scored like the current era of goal scorers, but also did it as consistently as this current pantheon has. Alfredo Di Stefano, Eusebio and Ferenc Puskas would all be names we'd consider representing past generations in this goal scoring match up, however, there is another less spoke about name that encapsulates many of the great qualities of the modern goalscorer and, in contrast to the aforementioned players, plied his goalscoring trade a mere three decades ago.
Hugo Sanchez arrived in Spain an unknown quality and widely considered a gamble by neutrals and rival fans alike. In a mere seven season period, he lit up the Spanish top flight, quickly setting himself apart from any forward in the country. When he left Spain for the final time in 1994, he'd won five league titles, was a five-time Picchi winner, the highest scoring foreigner in La Liga history and the league's second highest goalscorer, not to mention Real Madrid's fifth highest scorer of all time. Despite all these remarkable achievements in such a short amount of time, Sanchez's name isn't known outside of those who watched him play and in an era of such exceptional goal scorers, Sanchez's achievement seem quite ordinary when they were anything but at the time.
Despite his clear talent, Sanchez was 15 when he decided that he wanted to become a footballer. By pleading with his brother, Horacio, Hugo was allowed to train with his brother's semiprofessional outfit where he quickly gained a name for himself. Sanchez styled his game on his father's, another semi pro footballer who awed the crowds with his daring finishes. The young Sanchez quickly set about emulating his father and his skills gained him the nickname Niño de Oro (Golden Boy). He earned a place with the Mexican national team at the 1976 Olympics and a move to Pumas UNAM quickly followed. While playing with Pumas, Sanchez also furthered his studies at UNAM budding university, studying Dentistry, but his performances on the pitch scuppered any chance the young Hugo had of being a dentist. The Mexican's debut coincided with a golden era in UNAM history, during his five seasons at the club, he won two league titles, the CONCACAF Champions' Cup and the Copa Interamericana, scoring 99 league goals in just 183 appearances.
He finally earned a move to Europe in 1982, with Atlético Madrid gambling on the 23-year old to replicate his form with UNAM in Spain. Sanchez struggled to make a mark in his first season, scoring just nine goals. His future was in serious doubt that summer, but the club decided to back their young forward and would not be disappointed. After an 8th place finish in his first season, Atleti never finished below fourth for the rest Sanchez's tenure at the club. In his final season, the Mexican secured his first Picchici and helped the club to the Copa Del Rey, snapping an eight-year trophy drought.
After such impressive performances for the rojiblancos, it wasn't long before the white side of Madrid came calling and they eventually lured Sanchez away in the summer of 1985. The 1980s hadn't been kind for Real, they continued to struggle in Europe and watched their domestic dominance taken away from them by Real Sociedad, Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona. A wave of change was on the horizon at the Spanish capital, Ramon Mendoza was elected president in 1985 and went about modernising the club. He put Castilla's promising Quinta Del Buirte to the fore and went about building around them with Sanchez the latest piece in the puzzle.
With the Mexican leading the line, Madrid's young core went from promising to the finished deal. Los Blancos ended their long league title drought and retained their UEFA Cup from the previous season. Having waited five years for a league title, Los Blancos went about winning the following five up for grabs and Sanchez was very much at the heart of it. When the Mexican joined Madrid, no La Liga striker had scored more than 30 goals since Alfredo Di Stefano broke that mark in 1957, with anything just above the 20 mark usually enough to win the Pichichi and anything beyond 25 considered rare.
At Madrid, Sanchez never scored fewer than 22 goals in a League season. In 1987-88, just over 30 years after Di Stefano had last achieved it, Sanchez broke the 30-league goal mark. He finished that season with 34 goals sealing a fourth consecutive Pichichi and earning himself the nickname 'Pentapichichi' amongst the Bernabeu faithful. Sanchez goals weren't merely tap ins either; inspired by a childhood watching his flamboyant father attempt the impossible, the young Sanchez often sought the spectacular and quickly became famed in Spain for his chilenas or bicycle kicks. In a league game against Logronos, Sanchez scored a chilena which the press called El Senor Gol, a label that underwhelmingly translates to great goal, something which doesn't do the strike much justice. The finish was so spectacular, then manager Leo Bekkenhakker was moved to say that "When a player scores a goal like that, play should be suspended, and a glass of champagne offered to the 80,000 fans that witnessed it."
Sadly, for Leo, he didn't witness too many more Sanchez specials from the sidelines, as he was sacked that summer. In his place, Madrid hired a fire breathing Welshman, John Toshack. Toshack had made a name for himself with Real Sociedad, dragging a core of weary veterans to one last title triumph in the shape of the Copa Del Rey in 1987. Under Toshack, the Quinta took on, according to Sanchez, its best form. It's of no surprise that the Mexican enjoyed life under Toshack, having spent the previous four seasons seen as one of the antithesis to the Quinta's silkily possession football, Toshack favored a more aggressive and direct approach and Sanchez flourished in it.
Madrid won the league at a canter once more, becoming just the second team in league history to break the 100 goal mark with a record 107 goals scored. Sanchez scored 38, all from single touch finishes. The haul matched Telmo Zarra's record of most goals in a single La Liga season and sealed the Mexican's fifth Pichichi in Spain. The tally was also enough to see him win the European Golden Shoe as well, becoming the first ever La Liga forward to do so in the process.
It was as good as it got for Sanchez at Madrid, Toshack was sacked midway through the next season and the aging Quinta Del Buirte left Madrid for newer pastures. Sanchez left in 1992, his final two seasons at Los Blancos ruined by an Achilles injury that limited him to just eight games in his final season. He departed the Bernabeu having won ten major honors, scoring 207 goals for the club with a stunning 164 of those coming in La Liga.
The Mexican never recaptured his form after leaving the Spanish capital and after a brief journeyman end to his career, which saw him bounce between Mexico, Austria, Dallas and a return to Madrid with Rayo Vallencano, Sanchez retired in 1997. His last club game was in a tribute match at the Santiago Bernabeu against Paris Saint Germain. The Mexican scored a hatrick in a 4-1 win with his last goal coming quite fittingly from a scissor kick.
Looking back at Sanchez's career, particularly with the context of his era, some of his achievements are stunning. He is finished his career as Madrid's fifth all-time top goal scorer and still sits a highly sixth despite some of the great goalscorers that have played for Los Blancos since he left. He was La Liga second all-time goalscorer up until Messi and Ronaldo overtook him. In a time where breaking the 30-goal mark was unheard of in the Spanish top flight, Sanchez did it twice and was one away from reaching it again in 1987-88. Only five players scored 30 or more goals in La Liga since Sanchez last did it in 1989-90 and it took another two decades for someone to better it, Cristiano Ronaldo scoring 40 in 2011-12. At the time of his retirement, only three players apart from Sanchez had won five Pichichi trophies or more and only one, Alfredo Di Stefano, had won four in a row. Even Ronaldo was unable to match his Pichichi tally and although Messi looks set to join Telmo Zarra on six, he has yet to win more than two in a row.
It is quite clear from his achievements that Sanchez was among the finest strikers of his generation and perhaps of all time so the question remains as to why he isn't discussed in this company more often. The main issues for Sanchez are the only holes in his CV, like the rest of the Quinta, Sanchez's Madrid legacy was greatly tarnished by a lack of European success. The Mexican never seemed to find his feet in European competition like he did in Spain, scoring a measly 22 goals in Europe for Madrid. Sanchez legacy has also suffered from playing with the Quinta Del Buirte. Madrid's homegrown golden boys lauded the attention of the media, so much so that Sanchez suggested a second Quinta called the Quinta de Los Machos, made up of Jose Antonio Camacho, Rafael Gordillo, Paco Buyo and himself, who came at terms with technical and aesthetically pleasing football of the quinta. Though Sanchez suggested the group as a joke, the narrative that five Madrid youngsters fired Los Blancos back to the top of the Spanish footballing ladder has become a popular notion and has undoubtedly hurt Sanchez's legacy, no differently than it had hurt the legacy of other members of his Machos.
The other unavoidable black spot on Sanchez's CV comes with his international side. Hugo was quite a prolific international throughout his early career, however, his performances dipped with El Tri after he earned a move to Europe. He made just seven appearances for Mexico in his 11 years in Spain, with four of those coming in the 1986 World Cup. After winning the Golden Cup in 1977, Mexico failed to kick on at World Cups with Sanchez playing a role in that failure, he scored just a single goal for his country at the World Cup, leading many fans to question his commitment to his country. He finished his international career in 1998 with 27 goals in just 58 caps.
As always with the greats, Sanchez wasn't a flawless character and it seems that his flaws have dealt him a harsh hand in the history books, especially in the current climate where 30 goals a season is considered the benchmark of a world clas striker. However, it shouldn't distract from the Mexican figures, which portray a forward ahead of his time. In both quantity and quality, Sanchez possessed every trait that we love about the modern goalscorer.

Trish Kahle and Dennis Kosuth
Nurses push back at UCMC
Trish Kahle and Dennis Kosuth report on a tentative contract agreement between National Nurses United and the University of Chicago Medical Center.
SOME 1,500 registered nurses at the University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC), members of National Nurses United (NNU), came within two days of striking for improved safety standards and patient care practices--but after a bargaining session that ran late into the night on April 27, the union reached a tentative agreement.
Nurses held the line on major bargaining issues and even scored two important wins: the elimination of swing shifts, with permanent shift nurses to be hired over the coming six months to replace the swing shifts, and the hiring of eight new patient care support nurses. The other major patient safety issue--staffing ratios--was not resolved in this round of bargaining, but remains a looming battle for nurses' unions across Illinois and much of the country.
When the union called an April 30 strike date, UCMC announced that it would lock out nurses for four more days after the strike. Administrators claimed this was to ensure patient care, but if they were really interested in this, they would have immediately met the nurses' demands for better working conditions.
When asked for management motivation behind the lockout, Talisa Hardin, a RN who has worked in the Burn Unit at UCMC for the past eight years, said: "I have no idea why UCMC is locking us out for four days. It feels as if it is retaliation, or a punishment for nurses who have decided to stand together and fight for a fair contact."
THAT NURSES, whose daily work and entire training focus them on doing what is best for patients, were willing and prepared to strike is a demonstration of how far away management has gotten from their stated mission of patient-centered care. And the University of Chicago community knew it, too.
When nurses decided they would have to strike for themselves and their patients, they reached out to other hospital and campus unions, including Graduate Students United, plus campus groups including Students for Health Equity, Students Organizing United with Labor and Southside Solidarity Network.
Graduate employees and student activists sprang into action in support of the nurses, organizing teach-ins about what the nurses were fighting for and leafleting students to build solidarity for the strike. "You know how you feel after pulling an all-nighter?" one activist asked a passing student. "Imagine trying to care for a critical care patient when you feel like that. You couldn't."
Additionally, students connected the strike to the ongoing struggles on the campus and the neighborhood--in particular the fight to get UCMC to open an adult trauma center, which the majority-Black South Side is currently without. Trauma patients have died in transit to the next closest trauma center, more than seven miles away on the North Side of the city.
The student/graduate employee/nurses coalition represents the culmination of an ongoing effort by organizers on campus to connect struggles and build power, and we know this wasn't the last round. The university continues to displace Black working-class residents from the neighborhood and deny graduate employees their right to a union, as well as all the speedups and cutbacks the university demanded of nurses.
But the importance of the battle at UCMC went far beyond the Hyde Park-based University of Chicago. The strike would have been the first nurses' strike at a hospital in more than two decades.
Nurses went on strike for the recognition of the Illinois Nurses Association (INA) at the University of Chicago Hospital in 1969. INA nurses struck Cook County Hospital for four days in December of 1972 and for 39 days in 1976. Not far from Chicago, there was a bitter 61-day first contract strike by the INA at St. Joseph Medical center in Joliet, Illinois, in January 1993.
JUST BECAUSE a tentative agreement has been reached, however, doesn't mean the battles over the future of patient care and the nursing profession are over. There have been other battles involving nurses in recent months.
INA represents 1,000 nurses at the University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago, who came within hours of striking in October 2014 before achieving a tentative agreement the night before they were set to walk out. Nurses at Cook County Health and Hospital System, represented by National Nurses Organizing Committee (NNOC)--an affiliate of NNU--are voting this week on whether to strike
NNOC has been in Chicago for just over 10 years, winning a vote to take over representing Cook County nurses from the INA in 2005. In May 2010, UCMC nurses voted to leave the INA and join NNU. NNU also successfully organized the non-union nurses at Jackson Park Hospital in 2012.
NNOC/NNU's success at taking over representation from the INA and organizing unorganized nurses stems from their more aggressive strategy in taking on the health care bosses. Unlike the stated philosophy of the American Nurses Association, which emphasizes partnership with management, NNOC/NNU is not shy about open confrontation and striking hospitals when necessary.
In today's economy, speedups are the norm, and this is no different in health care. When management pushes speedups on nurses by increasing the number of nurses per patient, demanding more overtime and refusing to hire adequate numbers of patient care support nurses who can help nurses care for critical assigned patients, the patients suffer as well.
"We have been going through a lean transformation for the last several years, and the feel in the hospital has been do more with less, work faster and harder, not necessarily safer," Talisa Hardin, a RN at UCMC, said. "The general feel is that profits, not patients, come first."
As a member of the bargaining team, Hardin knows firsthand the issues the bedside RNs are fighting for, as well as how disconnected management is from what things look like for patients and those who care for them. Rather than focusing on making sure nurses had working conditions conducive to providing good patient care, UCMC's current Chief Nurse Officer Debi Albert was hard at work updating UCMC's anti-union website on a daily basis in the run-up to the strike date. Apparently believing it to be an insult, she states that NNU has "called a staggering 115 strikes against hospitals throughout the U.S., more than all other nursing unions combined over the same period."
Albert was less concerned with addressing the issues that led nurses to overwhelmingly vote to strike: rotating shifts, where RNs are forced to work a day shift and then a night shift in the same week, which can lead to increased nursing errors; and changing some charge nurse positions into management jobs, which would reduce the unionized workforce and further distance them from a patient centered focus toward a profit center.
UCMC is good at putting profits ahead of patients and nurses, and it shows in their revenue reports: $1.8 billion in patient revenue each year, with only an embarrassing $16.2 million given back to the community in the form of charity care, amounting to 1.3 percent of revenue. But the nurses' organization and preparation shows that workers can stand up to the bosses--even when they have billions of dollars in the bank.

Bird feeding at park "actively discouraged" amid fowl and public health concerns
Auckland Council wants to put a stop to bird feeding at Western Springs park. Photo: Faith Cleverley
Feeding the birds at Western Springs park will now be "actively discouraged" with new signage and on-site education due to disease and environmental risks.
Large geese populations, water pollution, malnourished birds, and a lack of biodiversity are some of the ongoing issues caused by people feeding the birds, said bird expert.
The new policy was unanimously supported by the Waitemata Local Board last week and will begin with "interpretive signage and education promoted by park activities" that teaches the benefits of not feeding the park's birds.
The increased population of fowl increases the threat of bird flu and salmonella, which is an issue in such a busy public park said Ian Mclean, Auckland representative of Birds New Zealand who advised the board on the policy.
Many of the geese and ducks have developed tumours and wing deformities from malnutrition, he said.
"From an animal welfare point of view, it's pretty poor. If anyone owned those geese they would be facing charges from the SPCA for the ill treatment of animals.
"If we stop feeding birds, we stop relying on volunteers to pick up dead and dying birds over the summer and taking them to bird rescue or burying them," he stressed.
Pippa Coom, Waitemata Local Board chair, said there is currently some signage that discourages feeding birds at the park, however a stronger approach is needed to stop all feeding.
"It is a cultural change because people have become used to feeding ducks at the park, but what we know now about the negative impact is that we really do need to change that."
The park, next to the Auckland zoo, is a popular destination for locals and tourists with its wildlife and natural spring lake at its centre, which has been a popular spot for bird feeding.

Batgirl: Year One Animated Movie Petition
May 31st, 2010 by Esther Inglis-Arkell | Tags: batgirl, DC comics, movies
So, it appears that because of slow initial sales of the Wonder WomanDVD made Warner Brothers rethink their plans to make a Batgirl animated movie. And what's more, it caused them to rethink making a Batgirl: Year One animated movie.
This saddens me.
In fact, it caused them to rethink making any movie with female leads. This angers me, a little.
Let's focus, for now, on the saddening part, and what we can do to fix it. For starters, there is an internet petition already started to restart the Batgirl: Year Oneproject. I know, I know, internet petitions suck. However, I'm very much of a 'throw everything at the wall and see what sticks' mentality these days, and so I signed it and hope you will, too. I also hope you will blog, will ask questions at conventions, and will, if you're old fashioned, drop DC a letter talking about how much you'd like a Batgirl:Year One movie. That is, if you do. And if you don't, well, you're a fool. Below I will list the reasons why I think that even if Wonder Woman had sold badly entirely, and not just initially, it would be a good idea to make a Batgirl: Year One movie.
1. Batgirl: Year One was a great story.
I'm not just saying it's a good story. It was a great one. It tied in other heroes without letting them steal Batgirl's thunder. It moved through flashbacks well and seamlessly. It had fun and romance and joy and adventure and family dynamics. It had ridiculous villains and scary villains and silly plot twists and good plot twists. And in the end, it all came together. It is, hands down, my favorite graphic novel, embodying all that I think superhero comics should be.
The Wonder Woman movie was also a great story, but it was too wide-ranging and too involved in explanations to tell the same tight story.
2. Batgirl is a better character than Wonder Woman.
I'm sorry, but she is. She's just as recognizable. I doubt anyone who has heard of Wonder Woman has not heard of Batgirl.
Wonder Woman is best described by a quote that I'm paraphrasing from one of the Giffen, DeMatteis, Maguire, Rubinstein Justice League books. The real Justice League has just swooped in to rescue the Not Justice League, and Mary Marvel and Fire are incredibly unimpressed by Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman responds with, 'I don't understand. We are all sisters in spirit, fighting a universal war against evil. Why don't they like me?"
In the end, that's how I feel about Wonder Woman. She is everything I should like, but I just don't. Not even in the movie that I absolutely loved. I don't mind her. I wish I did like her, but she's the superhero equivalent of having to eat my vegetables.
Batgirl is what happens when you take Batman and add joy. She can be in a range of stories from deep noir to extreme silliness, and she works in all of them. I know I'm an extreme fan, but every incarnation of her is so very likeable, relatable, accessible, and fun. Putting her in the same category as Wonder Woman is just unfair.
3. Batgirl has Batman and Robin in her story to back her up.
Let's face it. No one is seeing Under the Red Hoodfor Jason Todd. That guy actually got voted dead a few decades back and has served as a Grim Symbolic Reminder right up until he got resurrected, at which point he served as a whipping boy for the fanboy community.
I say 'fanboy' community. The fangirls tended to like him well enough. But then, if they were marketing to the fangirls, they would be pumping out Batgirl movies.
People are going to see Under the Red Hood for Batman. Batgirl: Year Oneis chock full of Batman, and Robin. Even if Batgirl couldn't carry a story alone, she wouldn't have to.
4. Batgirl can get young girls hooked on the Bat-mythos.
Certainly worked for me, and the reason I can't get the above Wonder Woman quote right is because I cannot look through my nine boxes of DC Comics in order to find the trade that it's in. I loved Batman: The Animated Series, but Batgirl was my favorite character in it. I literally did a little dance when I saw that they were showing one of the Batgirl episodes. I have every one of Cassandra's Batgirl issues, and every one of Stephanie's, and given that they, mostly, don't have too much gore or sex in them, I would feel comfortable giving them to girls to read.
Batgirl is kid-bait. Everyone's talking about how we need to get more kids into comics.

You forgot this one:
5. Marcos Martin's art would be f—ing perfect for animation! I mean come on! If there's any trade I mostly own and read for the art, it's that one (and the story isn't even bad).

@Carl Walker: It is fantastic art. Very distinctive but also flowing and clear.

Not to mention that some of the animated movies they do greenlight are, quite frankly, kind of strange choices (Red Hood, Superman & Batman: Public Enemies). While I haven't actually read Batgirl: Year One, somehow I imagine that it'd translate a lot better to a stand-alone movie than either of those stories.

Maybe if these direct-to-DVD features weren't so frickin' PRICEY, I could get on-board. As it stands, these are flicks that "they" DIDN'T think had enough juice to make it on the big screen, yet they cost just as much as the flicks that do.
(I could almost see Wonder Woman making it as some type pffemalr ultimate fighter who … Well, that's as far as that thought went. I just know that seeing her kick mad ass in that Crisis flick was the shyt. She oughta have a good bit Xena in her, IMO.)

I've been a fan of Batgirl ever since the first time I saw Yvonne Craig in her batsuit from the live action series, and I loved BG:YO. I have to sign that petition.

The Wonder Woman quote is from "Formerly Known as the Justice League" and goes:
"I…don't understand. We…We are all part of the Great Sisterhood… United in the transcendent ideal of the Feminine Spirit. Why don't they like me?"
Which I would not normally be able to find so fast, but I just happened to have read Formerly Known as and I can't believe its not Justice League yesterday and they are still sitting in my coffee table. Incidentally, while both of those books are great, it also more than a bit morbid and grotesque to read a comic with people joking about Sue Dibny being pregnant, Max Lord and Ted Kord palling around, and Mary Marvel turned evil as a joke. The truth of what has happen to them kills any fun in the jokes.
And the Wonder Woman movie doing bad enough that there will be no more female lead DC movies while Green Lantern, which my limited research tells me sold a similar number of copies to WW, gets a cartoon series baffles me. I know the GL thing is more about upcoming movie, but its still sad. And anybody who would rather have Red Hood than Batgirl is just flat out dumb.

Well said. It was Batgirl: Secret Files & Origins that introduced me to Batgirl(s). It features a Cass story, and Babs narrating Cass's origin, and little profiles of them and a few supporting characters at the time.
I picked it up on a fluke as a teen, and didn't come across comics again until much later, but that one comic had me hooked on Batgirl and Oracle. When I started reading comics, they were the characters whose books I had to hunt down and devour.
They're such awesome characters, and cartoons/movies are a fantastic way in to reading comics. Batgirl: Year One is so accessible to new readers and is generally a great story. DC/WB should be tripping over themselves to get this movie made and market it to girls and women.

@skoce: Yeah, reading those trades is pretty depressing unless you mentally block a lot of things. Still, thanks for the quote!
@Maddy: I love 'em. I'm going to start a 'getting to know Bette' project soon, just so I can be a Batgirl completist.
There's already a Batgirl: Year One motion comic that's pretty decent. I could see WB being even more reluctant to make an animated feature based on that, but maybe not. What about a Catwoman film?

@Esther Inglis-Arkell:
Cool beans! I really don't know much about her.
I was under the impression that she was only ever Bat-Girl pre-Crisis, and that post-Crisis she was just Flamebird or whatever. She's odd because she really doesn't fit into the bat-mythos, and as such I rarely remember to count her among the Batgirls. I'd sooner remember Helena for wearing a bat costume in NML, or Misfit's attempt at being Batgirl, than Bette.
I like Batgirl and all, but you can't expect DC to just crank out movies if the demand isn't there. I love Martian Manhunter, but I'm not exactly holding my breath for the 150 million live action feature.

Btw, I actually like Wonder Woman, particularly when written by Simone although Rucka's (or Perez's) ain't that bad either. As for the movie, that's the only direct-to-(BluRay) movie I've seen of DC, honestly. I do fear that there's no way to reason with DC. Entertainment companies (Warner Bros. in particular) seem to always look for reasons to cancel or kibosh any female-led anything. (@skoce is spot on so I won't repeat what he or she said).
Were one conspiracy minded, one might suggest that something shitty like the Halle Berry Catwoman (or Jennifer Garner Elektra! oh christ) was made on purpose (a less conspiracy-minded person, which I generally am, would say that they just didn't pull the plug earlier because they assumed something female-led inherently was crap and therefore its suckiness couldn't be helped).
Parting thought… is Batgirl the best because she's the only fully clothed woman in the ENTIRE DCU?! (at least in her last three personas, I'm not sure about Bette either). Tony Daniel and Ed Benes deserves a smack for, among other things, cavalierly bringing back that terrible Jim Lee costume. But I digress…
by Carl Walker June 2nd, 2010 at 11:40 --reply
@John Foley, I'd argue that the demand is totally there, it's just that the supply isn't. Girls love the version of Batgirl they see in TV cartoons already, for being cute, smart, asskicking, and not aggressively sexualized — screw getting kids into comics, how about just giving girls some adventure heroines they can respect and identify with?
Right on the money, Esther!

Nashville Sounds Notebook: A much-needed break
The Nashville Sounds have struggled over the past six weeks, as changes to their roster have hurt the team's overall production. With the All-Star break arriving in the Pacific Coast League, we check-in with the Oakland Athletics Triple-A affiliate.

The rebuilding process in Oakland has taken its toll on the roster of the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, and the Sounds' overall record has suffered because of it. Down many of its top position players and much of its rotation over the past month, the Sounds have slipped from three over .500 on June 1 to 42-48, a distant 14.5 games behind first-place Memphis. The Redbirds have the largest lead of any first-place team in the Pacific Coast League at the PCL All-Star break.
With the playoffs perhaps out of reach, the Sounds' immediate goal is getting back to .500. They will need to find a way to score runs, as the team has dropped from near the top of the PCL in team OPS to the lower third over the past six weeks. The Sounds have a 753 OPS and have scored the fourth-fewest runs (407 or 4.5 per game). The Sounds are fourth in homeruns (105), but have the fourth-lowest OBP (.331), mirroring the offensive troubles of the big league club. The loss of Matt Olson, Matt Chapman, Jaycob Brugman and Bruce Maxwell over much of the past month has dragged down the Sounds' overall plate production.
On the mound, Nashville has struggled to piece together a consistent starting rotation with the A's calling on Sounds' starters to fill-in at the big league level with regularity. Nashville is currently missing Daniel Gossett, Paul Blackburn and Chris Smith from the regular rotation. The Sounds have still pitched well, for the most part. The team's 4.02 ERA is second-lowest in the league. Nashville pitchers have allowed the fewest homeruns in the league (63) and they have walked the fourth-fewest number of batters (273 in 785 innings). The Sounds are fifth in the league in strike-outs (689) and fourth in WHIP (1.32).
The Sounds begin a much-needed All-Star break on Monday and return to action on Thursday in Omaha, where they play a four-game set.
There could be an entire article devoted to the comings and goings of Matt Olson, who joined the A's on June 4, returned to Nashville on June 6, came back to Oakland on June 10, returned to Nashville on June 14, arrived in Oakland again on June 22 and returned to the Sounds once again on July 3rd.
Olson wasn't the only Sounds player to shuttle between Triple-A and the big leagues over the past month. Franklin Barreto joined the A's for his major-league debut on June 24 and returned to Nashville on July 8. On June 9, Mark Canha was optioned back to Nashville from Oakland for the second time this season. Jaycob Brugman took Canha's place on the A's roster and has remained in Oakland since then.
On June 11, the A's optioned RHP Frankie Montas from their big league roster. Montas was a reliever with the A's, but he has moved into a starter's role since joining Nashville. On June 14, Bruce Maxwell was activated off of the DL from a strained oblique. He would spend just eight days on the Sounds' roster before earning a promotion back to the big leagues. Beau Taylor took Maxwell's spot in the Nashville catching rotation. Also on June 14, the A's called up starter Daniel Gossett to make his major-league debut. The next day, the A's called up third baseman Matt Chapman for his big league debut. Jermaine Curtis joined the Nashville roster from Midland to take Chapman's place.
On June 17, the A's promoted longtime minor league veteran Michael Brady for his big league debut. He has been in the A's bullpen ever since. Brady took Zach Neal's spot in the A's bullpen. Neal returned to Nashville and re-joined the Sounds' starting rotation, but was recently re-added to the A's bullpen (more on that later). To help the depleted Nashville bullpen, the A's signed minor league free agent Patrick Schuster, who had pitched for the organization last season. The A's sent reliever Tyler Sturdevant to Double-A on June 18 and released outfielder Ryan LaMarre on June 21.
On June 19, right-hander Lou Trivino joined the Nashville bullpen from Midland. He would be joined by Midland teammate Yairo Munoz on June 24. Munoz was promoted to Nashville after Barreto joined the A's roster. On June 26, right-hander Kyle Finnegan joined the Nashville bullpen from Midland. Finnegan took the spot in the Nashville bullpen vacated by Aaron Kurcz, who was sent to Midland on June 27.
On July 1, the A's sent RHP Josh Smith to Nashville and recalled starter Paul Blackburn to make his major league debut. The next day, the A's sent Jesse Hahn back to Nashville to take Blackburn's spot in the rotation and called up Neal to fill Smith's spot in the bullpen. On July 5, the A's added Nashville catcher Ryan Lavarnway to the roster while Josh Phegley was on the paternity leave list. Then on July 8th, the A's designated Lavarnway for assignment and promoted Smith to make a spot start.
With so many pitchers coming and going, the Sounds received reinforcements in the form of spot starters and long relievers from several other levels in the A's system. Joel Seddon joined the team for a spot start on May 30 and returned to Midland on June 3. Dalton Sawyer joined the Sounds for two spots starts, the first coming June 10 and the second coming on July 5. Sawyer joined Nashville from Beloit the first time through and from Stockton the second time. He has now returned to the Ports' rotation. Ben Bracewell bounced between Midland and Nashville in late June/early July, going from the RockHounds to the Sounds on June 23, returning to Midland on June 26 and then going back to Nashville on June 30. Reliever Joseph Camacho spent a day on Nashville's roster (June 11) and returned to Low-A Beloit without appearing in a Triple-A game. Right-hander Dustin Hurlbutt joined the Nashville rotation for a spot start on June 18 before returning to High-A Stockton.
The Sounds also dealt with a few injuries. Daniel Mengden was optioned to Nashville on June 4 but never pitched for the Sounds after the option, instead landing on the DL with a strained rib. On June 6, Chris Parmelee landed on the DL and was released on June 13.
The Sounds also had a couple of rehab assignment over the past six weeks, with the A's sending Sean Doolittle and Marcus Semien to Nashville before they returned to the A's active roster.
Who's Hot
Renato Nunez was one of three Sounds named to the Pacific Coast League All-Star team, but with Smith and Blackburn on the Oakland roster, Nunez will be the Sounds' only representative in the Triple-A All-Star game. Nunez figures to get plenty of attention during the All-Star festivities. The PCL homerun leader will participate in the Home Run Derby. He comes into the All-Star break swinging a hot bat. In June, Nunez posted a 916 OPS and he has a .286 average and a 981 OPS thus far in July. Nunez has been particularly good against left-handed pitching this season, something he struggled with last year. He has a 1207 OPS versus southpaws on the year.
It took Beau Taylor more than six years, but he finally reached Triple-A and he is taking advantage of his opportunity thus far. In 12 games with the Sounds, Taylor is hitting .325/.413/.475 with six walks and a homer. Since June 1, Jaff Decker is batting .296 with a .345 OBP and eight stolen bases. While playing all over the field, Melvin Mercedes has a .370 OBP since the start of June. On the year, he has walked more than he has struck-out.
On the mound, RHP Jake Sanchez is also taking advantage of his first extended look in Triple-A. Since June 1, Sanchez has a 1.76 ERA and a 13:3 K:BB in 15.1 innings. Simon Castro is also pitching well out of the Nashville bullpen. The veteran right-hander has a 2.29 ERA and a 31:11 K;BB in 19.2 innings. For the season, he has 63 strike-outs in 38 innings pitched.

Update on Zidane's United appointment report as club steps in with truth
Derrick Adams September 29, 2018 Update on Zidane's United appointment report as club steps in with truth2018-09-29T15:54:23-06:00
Manchester Untied have stepped in to provide the truth regarding rumours that the club is looking to appoint Zinedine Zidane to replace Jose Mourinho.
Just over a month into the new campaign, the Red Devils have found themselves in a very deep hole which they are yet to dig themselves out of.
Following Saturday's 3-1 defeat away to West Ham, there have been more rumours about United possibly making a move to appoint Zinedine Zidane as a replacement for Jose Mourinho.
But, as per a report by ESPN, the club has made it very clear that those claims are indeed untrue and therefore no attempt has actually been made to bring Zidane to Old Trafford.
"Manchester United are not in the process of lining up Zinedine Zidane as their next manager despite mounting pressure on current boss Jose Mourinho, sources have told ESPN FC." a quote from the report said.
The club's clarification over the Zidane story comes hours after the British media reported that United had held 'initial talks' with the former Real Madrid boss over appointing him as Mourinho's replacement.

    Lesson Review

    How did I learn? What strategies were effective?

    I found teaching easier this week. I had to explain in more depth about some concepts. This was the most effective strategy for my learning. Sometimes I and to ask for help on some concepts.

    What limited my learning? Which habits do I need to work on?

    I found it still easy to rush over things, however I did this less. I need to work on reading the page before trying to explain.

    What will I change for next time? How will I improve my learning?

    I will make sure I know all the concepts for the stage before trying to explain.

Эффи́гия (от ), или скульпту́рное надгро́бие — скульптурное изображение умершего, выполненное из камня или дерева. Выполнялось в лежащем, коленопреклонённом или стоящем виде. Скульптурные надгробия также могут иметь форму бюста. Очень часто фигуры изображаются со скрещенными руками или соединёнными в молитве ладонями. Эффигией также называли куклу усопшего, которая использовалась в ритуальных целях.

История

Своеобразными предшественниками эффигий, вероятно, были этрусские надгробия, как правило изображавшие усопших в полноразмерную или уменьшенную величину в горизонтальной позе на боку как ещё живых.

В Западной Европе до распространения эффигий крышки гробниц представителей церковной и светской знати нередко украшались плоскими латунными брассами с изображениями усопших.

В средневековой Европе также существовал обычай публичной казни эффигии (куклы) преступника, в случае, когда ему удавалось скрыться от правосудия. Предполагалось, что эта позорная процедура окажет соответствующее влияние на дальнейшую личную судьбу преступника.

Использование эффигий в похоронных ритуалах монархов
Наиболее ранним известным случаем использовании королевской эффигии следует считать похороны Эдуарда II (1327 год), после чего такая практика стала регулярной для англичан. Кости и плоть английского короля, согласно обычаю (), были раздельно доставлены из Руана (возможно, из Сен-Дени) в Вестминстерское аббатство, а эффигия, заменявшая тело монарха, покоилась при этом на крышке гроба.

Во Франции эффигии стали применяться значительно позднее и под влиянием англичан. Первый известный случай относится к погребальной церемонии Карла VI (1422 год). В последующем практика использования эффигии во Франции частично обновлялась (Карл VIII, 1498 год) и достигла новой стадии в похоронной процессии Франциска I (1547 год), повторенной и в ходе погребения Карла IX (1574 год).

Именно тогда эффигия впервые была использована для церемонии презентации тела усопшего монарха в официальных одеждах и под государственными символами. В течение одиннадцати дней функцию презентации тела усопшего выполняла изготовленная по этому случаю эффигия, изображавшая Франциска I, облачённая в парадные одежды государя. Водружённой на специально сооруженный постамент, выставленный в salle d'honneur, ей прислуживали первые люди королевства, подававшие привычную еду кукле монарха как его прижизненные слуги. На двенадцатый день эффигию заменил гроб с телом монарха.
В более позднем периоде специально изготовленные для похоронной процессии Генриха VII и его сына Генриха VIII эффигии с этой целью не применялись. Относительно посмертных изображений Эдуарда VI и его сестры Марии Тюдор сохранившиеся сведения весьма противоречивы. Известно, что эффигия, изображавшая старшую дочь Генриха VIII, представляла собой скульптурное изображение королевы во весь рост и была выставлена в Вестминстерском аббатстве для всеобщего обозрения вплоть до коронации Елизаветы Тюдор. В настоящее время (2013) в Вестминстерском аббатстве выставлена лишь голова подлинной эффигии Марии; но так же и тело эффигии сохранилось в хранилище.

Сохранившиеся эффигии рыцарей и полководцев являются важным источником для современных историков-оружиеведов, изучающих вооружение, доспехи и одежду средневековых армий.

Эффигии в русском изобразительном искусстве
В России горизонтальные изображения человека на крышках надгробий появились с XVI века, то есть позже, чем в Европе. Это были «лежачие» изображения святых на крышках рак, но их позы напоминали стоящие фигуры. В более позднее время в России эффигии были также редки и как правило связаны с неправославными конфессиями. По данным искусствоведа Ольги Матич, в Санкт-Петербурге эффигий сохранилось лишь две, обе находятся на Лазаревском кладбище. Это надгробия капитана Иоганна фон Рейссига и баварского врача Густава Адольфа Магира. «Надгробие В. Э. Борисову-Мусатову» в Тарусе Ольга Матич называла «самой необычной российской "эффигией"». То, что надгробие было установлено лишь в 1910 году (через пять лет после смерти художника), она объясняла сопротивлением церкви изображению нагого подростка. Единственной московской эффигией было несохранившееся надгробие генерала А. Ф. Багговута, находившееся на Новодевичьем кладбище и являвшееся, вероятно, репликой петербургского памятника И. фон Рейссигу.

The inspiration behind this recipe came from one of my favorite restaurants in Alaska.
Club Paris is the oldest steakhouse in Anchorage. It's been serving Alaskans and visitors since the late 1950s. The menu is adorned with mouthwatering entrees, including the finest cuts of beef and fresh Alaskan seafood.
A chef recommendation, and specialty of theirs, is to have a steak stuffed with blue cheese.
My first visit, I ordered the signature thick-cut filet mignon. It was a no-brainer to have it stuffed.
And, let me tell you, it was out-of-this-world delicious.
Now, I've had steaks paired with blue cheese, but something about cutting into it and having this creamy lava flow of cheese ooze out was absolutely divine.
So divine that I started stuffing all my steaks with the tangy cheese.
And, that's how recipe came to be. It's my riff on a Juicy Lucy, the original cheese-stuffed burger made popular in Minnesota.
Ground beef is gently mixed with seasonings, then divided into eight patties, four of which are topped with blue cheese and the remaining patties. The edges are pinched to seal it all in.
I say "gently mixed" because if you overwork your beef you end up with chewy burgers. Nobody wants that.
And never use lean beef for burgers. The added fat makes for a more juicy and flavorful patty.
These can be grilled or cooked stove top, in a skillet. I serve mine with Buffalo mayo, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes, which adds a nice bite of heat, texture and freshness against the creamy richness of the blue cheese.
If you're not a blue cheese fan, try Swiss, feta, pepper jack or cheddar. A mixture of cream cheese, herbs and sautéed veggies would be delicious, too.
In a large bowl, gently break apart the meat. Add the Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning and garlic powder. Gently mix with your hands; avoid overworking.
Shape the beef mixture into 8 equal 1/2-inch-thick patties. Divide the blue cheese evenly onto the centers of four of the patties. Top with the remaining four patties and pinch and smooth edges to seal. Sprinkle tops with remaining Montreal steak seasoning.
Cook in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat, turning once, until desired degree of doneness is achieved. And don't press on the burgers while they're cooking or you'll squeeze the cheese out.
To make the buffalo wing mayo, mix the mayonnaise and buffalo sauce in a small bowl and chill until ready to use.
Serve hamburgers on toasted buns smeared with buffalo wing mayo, topped with bacon and desired condiments.


After winning the grand prize at the Montreal World Film Festival and the bid to become Japan's submission to the best foreign film category in the Oscars, Okuribito (『おくりびと』, English title: Departures) is fulfilling the promises of its ad copy to become the best film of the year. A sweeping fish-out-of-water tale depicting the esoteric practices of the Japanese nōkanshi (納棺士) — an undertaker who places bodies into coffins at funeral ceremonies — the film's warmhearted depiction of death may have appealed strongly to older audiences, who no doubt helped the film's box-office figures surge past ¥2.7 in sales (as of Nov. 2). But while director Takita Yojiro's Okuribito may be Shochiku's nod to the popularity of the nostalgic weepie — previously revived by the Always: Sunset On Third Street franchise — the former can be argued to be an escapist, fantasy picture geared towards disenchanted, young Japanese urbanites. As the effects of the country's aging population and declining birthrate manifest more sharply in Japan's rural areas, Okuribito makes a pretty convincing case that young aspirants may want to head for the countryside in search of love, comfort, and even dignity.
Okuribito's hero, Kobayashi Daigo (Motoki Masahiro), begins as a professional cellist, the kind of passion-over-practicality man-child that epitomizes the post-Bubble generation. His dream is shuttered when his orchestra disintegrates due to financial problems. With no way to continue living in the city, let alone pay off the substantial loan he has foolishly racked up for a cello he cannot afford, Daigo sells his beloved instrument and packs up his post in Tokyo with his wife Mika (Hirosue Ryoko). Yet what awaits them in Daigo's home city of Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture is far from disillusionment and resentment. Daigo and Mika fall into the loving embrace of the lush Shonai plains, and neighbors welcome the arrival of the young couple, doling out comical idiosyncrasies and words of wisdom like delicate morsels of food. Although Daigo is oblivious to the real destination of the "departures" when he answers a want-ad for a "travel" agency, he ends up finding himself a life-affirming career ushering people to the afterlife.
Okay, Okuribito may be a fantasy, further evidenced by the kind of environment, people, and careers the film showcases as the bounties of rural life. The home that Daigo and Mika inhabit is not an old-fashioned nagaya row house but a jazz café-turned-izakaya owned by his late mother, where choice LP records and exposed wood beams create a stylish atmosphere. During the location scout, director Takita and his crew scavenged the Yamagata prefecture for "things that will eventually pass on," and the result is a film with strategically placed anachronisms like old bathhouses. When Daigo finds his worn, kids-size cello in the house and starts playing it against the sprawling mountainscape of Yamagata, one becomes convinced that the Joe Hisaishi's scoring has never sounded better.
Yet the film is not without its share of conflict for its hero, and Daigo's new profession does cause marital riffs. The job of a nōkanshi involves the washing and dressing of the deceased during a funeral, and Daigo is faced with criticisms from neighbors, who describe the job as being like a vulture. The reason behind Daigo's resolve to remain a nōkanshi, however, exists in his relationship with his boss Sasaki. Played by the incomparable Yamazaki Tsutomu, Sasaki is a crusty gourmand with a masculine charisma and confidence in spades. He extinguishes every one of Daigo's doubts with simple affirmations or barking orders and plays the paternal figure missing in Daigo's life. Despite the hallowing and downright stomach-churning aspects of the profession, Daigo knows that when his artisan boss undertakes the rituals, every step transcends to a form of alchemy through which the dead are honored and the pain of the mourning family lovingly alleviated. Sasaki also represents the idealized characteristics that younger Japanese generations often look for in their elders but do not always manage to find: a steady calm and resolve that demonstrate a peace with life.
In Okuribito, Daigo's chosen career as a nōkanshi makes sense. As Japan's older generations pass away in the countryside, it is difficult to think of any other profession that binds the disparate generations so literally and gracefully. The rituals of a nōkanshi appeal to the artist in Daigo, but it does not take long for the audience to see that the profession also comes with a built-in purpose that is rare in the kinds of jobs sought out by the young educated class today. In fact, the film takes every opportunity to praise the rites of miokuri (見送り) or send-off. Though the film extols the dignity of those who send off the deceased, it remains rather mum on the topic of what the living should be actively doing before their inevitable end. There is a certain grace involved in accepting one's fate, but the passivity of Daigo and Mika is enough to prompt one to ask if there should be something they should be fighting for, instead of merely acting as the bystander.
In one scene towards the film's end, Daigo stares at Sasaki's deeply creased face as he naps in his office. In a transient thought, Daigo seems to realize that one day he will be responsible for sending off his ever-reliable boss. The same can be said for the old bathhouses, and the whimsical residents of the countryside. One day rural towns to which the young can return home will cease to exist, and when and if that happens, what will the young do for the old in return for what the old has bestowed upon the young? Despite Okuribito's honorable paean to those passing on, the film seems to go too easy on the younger generations by glossing over one crucial reality: a dignified death is never possible without a dignified life, lived to the fullest.
Nice review. Hope to see more or them from you in the future.
The above seems to be a bit out of synch with the rest of your review – you seemed to be evoking a narrative in which the young characters were casting off an urban style focused life for a continuity with a spiritually richer past and a deeper understanding of the fact that it is probably warm relationships that make us happier than anything material. Isn't Daigo becoming Sasaki and in a way, committing strongly to replacing what he is seeing pass on?
If this is the case, it is interesting that it is almost thematically identical to some of Yamazaki's best roles – Tampopo, A Quiet Life, and Doing Time. Maybe it is something about his face.
I was very much looking forward to Ogata having a long "late career". I had a feeling that he had a few more great performances in him (like the one that Nakadai gave in "Ashura no Gotoku", for example).
I'm not sure that today's older generation seemed that great in their 20s either – somebody who is around 70 today would have been 20ish around the time that Oshima Nagisa and Imamura Shohei were making Japanese youth look a lot more aimless than today's kids (okay, so maybe 30 is the new 20). Giving the young a chance to grow into more than we expect (maybe I shouldn't be writing "we" as I'm not that old yet) is a nice side of Okuribito.
This isn't exactly my area of expertise, but aren't the veteran actors of today those who started in the "Golden Age" of Japanese films, when films actually tried to cast talented actors and actresses and not just stick models and idols on the project? There is a very good possibility that the whole idol industry ruined films and distorted the idea of "good acting" for an entire generation.
This could refer to the late 1950s or to the present. I think that there is a problem in perception (certainly not limited to Marxy) here based on how Japanese film history is narrated – we hear most about the Kurosawas and the Ozus but there were 300 plus films being made each year through the 50s and this includes no end of Misora Hibari fluff and other pictures with tacked on idols. When they tell the story of the 2000s in Japanese film we will hear about Sen to Chihiro, Battle Royale, Kemusho no Naka and Chi to Hone, etc. with Odoru Daisosasen and the like left in the dustbin of history.
Sticking models and idols into films can actually be okay if there is a director with vision – I think that Shimoduma Monogatari and Kiraware Matsuko no Issho were very strong, for example. They are also just the kinds of Japanese films that export well if we want to look for some kind of "Japan Cool" criterion.
This was a factor back in the day as well – Ishihara Yujiro wasn't exactly acting up a storm – he was more or less an idol – but when the great Ichikawa Kon had him in "Taiheiyo Hitoribochi" he looked like gold. Kayama Yuzo – one of the first really, really, really cheesy idols, was also fantastic with Kurosawa in Akahige and maybe even better with Naruse in Midareru.
It looked like this year was going to be pretty rotten for film but there have been some bright spots lately – Midnight Eye is talking about Tokyo Sonata being a masterpiece, for example. When the box office totals are in, the "Golden Age" (which goes up to 1960, most of the "vets" these days are the guys and gals who would have been 25-35 in the 1970s so they would be 60-70 or so today) looks a lot like today's lists – big stupid pictures do well with some exceptions (Miyazaki Hayao is the Japanese boxoffice champ and a great filmmaker, Yamada Yoji and Beat Takeshi are also excellent and have had big hits lately).
In a way, we should just be thankful that the Japanese film industry lasted through the dark days. 15 years ago, Jurassic Park made as much as the TOP FIFTEEN Japanese films put together. These days, cheesy idols or not, Japanese films can often out gross the best of the West – and this gets people paid and means that there is money floating around for "good" projects too. This isn't a rare thing either – it is the popcorn movies and US horror pics that make Japanese TV dramas look like Citizen Kane that pay for "There Will Be Blood".
The performance of Motoki (ex-Shibugakitai) I think helps puts paid to the notion that sticking idols in films is what ruined Japanese movies.
Are Japanese movies really "ruined"?
Nana would have been a C with someone other than Nakashima Mika. She was a black hole that sucked everyone else's talent into it.

Iran sentences Baha'i citizen to 8 years in prison
Atsa Ahmadaei-Rafsanjani, an Iranian citizen from the minority Bahá'í Faith, is convicted on multiple charges and has given an 8-year prison sentence in total by Iranian Revolutionary Court, Bahá'í activists told Avatoday.
Ahmadaei-Rafsanjani was charged on three counts by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court on in December.
She is given a 4-year prison term for participating in an empowering program for women. In addition, she is also sentenced to a 3-year prison term for "assembly and collusion against national security," and a 1-year prison term for "propaganda against the regime", which makes a total of 8 years in prison.
According to the source, there was a sudden change of the court, which was dealing with the case without any prior notice to her.
For the past two years, Ahmadaei-Rafsanjani's case was at Branch 28 of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran.
On the day of the last hearing, she discovered that instead of Branch 28, her case was due to be heard at Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran, the source added
