Good-bye Paykan, 1967-2005
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20050427/wl_mideast_afp/iranautobritaincompanykhodrohunter_050427105129
Today Paykans make about a third of the 6.5 million cars on Iran's roads. 40 years after Hillman Hunter was introduced in Iran as Paykan (1967), in a few weeks the last Paykan will roll off the assembly line, and Iran Khodro will focus on manufacturing the newer Peugeot models (405 and 206). But don't worry spare parts will be supplied for another 10 years when the 50 years of Paykan in Iran come to an end.

Pope's Assassination in 1981
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/picture_gallery/05/europe_pope_john_paul_ii/html/4.stm
Picture of Pope John Paul II's assassination attempt on 13 May 1981.
The Turkish gunman who shot Pope John Paul II in 1981 has returned to prison, eight days after being freed.
The Turkish gunman who tried to kill Pope John Paul II almost 25 years ago has been released from prison.
Mehmet Ali Agca, served nearly 20 years in Italian jails for the attempted murder. In Turkey, he was jailed for bank robbery and another murder.
Agca, 48, shot the Pope in St Peter's Square in 1981, but has never explained why. The pontiff later visited him in jail and publicly forgave him.
Hours after Agca walked free, Turkish Justice Minister Cemil Cicek said he wanted to make sure there had not been any legal errors.
One of Italy's most respected magistrates in the 1980s, who probed the attack at the time, has warn that Agca's life is at risk because of the many secrets he knows.
Ferdinando Imposimato is convinced of Soviet bloc involvement. The Pope at the time was preaching a message that challenged Soviet communism's collectivist ideology.
"I think the Turkish government should guarantee Agca's security because he knows so many secrets and he may be killed," he said in an interview with Reuters TV on Wednesday.

Wharf to Wharf - July
http://www.wharftowharf.com/2005.htm
Wharf to Wharf 2005
Length: 6 miles
Mens record: 26:42 min
Womens record: 30:42 min
Registration: April 1st
Race day: July 21
It's the Best Little Road Race in California
Here comes the 33rd annual Wharf to Wharf Race! Are you ready? If you've run this scenic six-mile classic before, you know about the weather, the forty live bands, the throngs of festive spectators and the chance to win the coveted Wharf to Wharf Runner T-shirt, awarded only to race finishers and never sold to anyone, anywhere, at any price ... ever. If you've never run it, now's the time.
So, get off the couch, get in shape, and go for it ... and go for it soon, because Wharf to Wharf is not for everyone. Narrow streets and small town venues limit participation to 15,000 runners on a first-come-first-served basis. Nearly twice that number apply each year. Registration opens April 1st and the field typically sells out in sixty days. There is no raceday registration. If you want to run, you have to sign up early.
If you missed the cut for this year's race and want to make sure you don't get left out next year, send a Self-Addressed-Stamped-Envelope to:
