  • Off the Beaten Track: Women's Sport in Iran, Please Visit Smallmedia.Org.Uk Table of Contents
    OFF THE BEATEN TRACK: WOMEn’s SPORT IN IRAN Islamic women’s sport appears to be a contradiction in terms - at least this is what many in the West believe. … In this respect the portrayal of the development and the current situation of women’s sports in Iran is illuminating for a variety of reasons. It demonstrates both the opportunities and the limits of women in a country in which Islam and sport are not contradictions.1 – Gertrud Pfister – As the London 2012 Olympics approached, issues of women athletes from Muslim majority countries were splashed across the headlines. When the Iranian women’s football team was disqualified from an Olympic qualifying match because their hejab did not conform to the uniform code, Small Media began researching the history, structure and representation of women’s sport in Iran. THIS ZINE PROVIDES A glimpsE INto THE sitUatioN OF womEN’S spoRts IN IRAN AND IRANIAN womEN atHLETES. We feature the Iranian sportswomen who competed in the London 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, and explore how the western media addresses the topic of Muslim women athletes. Of course, we had to ground their stories in context, and before exploring the contemporary situation, we give an overview of women’s sport in Iran in the pre- and post- revolution eras.

  • Citizen Judges in Japan: a Report Card for the Initial Three Years
    CITIZEN JUDGES IN JAPAN: A REPORT CARD FOR THE INITIAL THREE YEARS Hon. Antoinette Plogstedt* I. INTRODUCTION Previous literature is critical of the European features of the Japanese jury system, including the joint deliberation by judges and citizens on juries, majority voting, non-waiver of jury trial by the defense, as well as juror confidentiality requirements. This Article presents contrary arguments that the Japanese should maintain the current features of their system and expand the jury system to cover even more criminal offenses, to eventually covering civil cases. The offered recommendations include eliminating prosecutor appeals to maintain legitimacy of the jury system and promulgating procedural rules requiring that lay jurors deliberate and vote separately from the professional judges. During the past twelve years as an Orange County Judge in Orlando, Florida, I had the privilege of presiding over many criminal jury trials. I prosecuted state crimes early in my legal career. Recently, I observed the public's reaction to one of the highly publicized jury trials to take place inside the courthouse where I presided. In the case of Florida v. Case Anthony,' the extensive international media coverage furthered the public's interest in our local state jury system. When the verdict was published, groups and individuals expressed their adamant pleasure or displeasure with the verdict. As it typically occurs with intense media coverage of trials, citizens begin to take a closer look at the role of juries. Those who agreed with the verdict praised the modem US jury system. Those who disagreed with the verdict discredited the jury. During my years of judicial service, I also had unique opportunities to meet with foreign judges from Brazil and South Korea.

Frink, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) is frequently referred to as not only a great visionary in jazz music but as also the father of the jazz avant-garde movement. As such, his work has been a topic of discussion for nearly five decades among jazz theorists, musicians, scholars and aficionados. While this music was once controversial and divisive, it eventually found a wealth of supporters within the artistic community and has been incorporated into the jazz narrative and canon. Coleman’s musical practices found their greatest acceptance among the following generations of improvisers who embraced the message of “free jazz” as a natural evolution in style.

  • Announcements. Athlete Spotlight. Joe
    THE UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT. JOE KOVACS, SHOT PUT As the track & field outdoor season comes to a close, shot put thrower Joe Kovacs has enjoyed a breakout year in 2015. At the 2015 IAAF World Championships in Beijing, Kovacs won his first World Championship title in the men’s shot put on August 23. Kovacs finished the qualifying round in the lead with a mark of 21.36m, automatically qualifying him for the final on just his second attempt. In the final, he threw a 21.93m for his fifth attempt at the Bird’s Nest, setting him apart from the pack with a 19cm lead. The win in Beijing marks Kovacs’ seventh first place victory so far in 2015 and he is the sixth United States thrower to win a world title. Leading up to the World Championships in Beijing, Kovacs led the pack throughout the season. He had a strong start at the UCLA Rafer Johnson/Jackie Joyner-Kersee Invitational in April where he claimed first place and improved his personal best distance. Kovacs continued this strong momentum into the 2015 IAAF Diamond League meets where he dominated the competition earning three first place finishes as well as a second and a fourth place. To add to his list of 2015 gold medals and first place finishes, Kovacs won gold at the USA Track & Field National Championships in June with a throw of 21.84m. One of Kovacs’ biggest victories during his outstanding 2015 season was at the IAAF Diamond League meet in Monaco in mid-July.
