Robertson put up perhaps its best fight of the season at the right time — the District 2-3A volleyball tournament.
West Las Vegas was ready.
The host Lady Dons (14-7)took a 3-1 victory on Wednesday night, advancing to a semifinal Friday evening in Raton. At stake in that match is a trip to the tournament championship against perennial state volleyball power Pojoaque Valley on Saturday night in Jacona.

NEW YORK — Negotiations between the NHL and the locked-out players' association ended after nearly six hours Wednesday. Just as they did a night earlier, the sides agreed to get right back to the bargaining table.
Representatives for the owners and players were to resume talks Thursday, marking the third straight day they will meet face-to-face. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and union special counsel Steve Fehr also met alone Saturday when in-person talks restarted for the first time since Oct. 18.
The New Mexico Highlands University wrestling team had its best showing to date in the Oklahoma City Open this past weekend.
It was the season debut for Highlands and head coach Doug Moses, and with six Cowboy grapplers placing in the tournament, it marked the school's most successful entry in that particular event.
The tourney, which featured some top NCAA Division I talent, was hosted by Oklahoma City University this past Sunday.
Thursday's Robertson-Socorro match in the Class 1A-3A girls' state soccer quarterfinals featured a number of the state's statistical leaders.
Robertson (18-2) and Socorro (18-3) entered as the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds, respectively, and a spot in Friday morning's semifinal round was on the line. (See Monday's Optic for results.)
Friday's winners play in the championship match at 9:30 a.m. Saturday on Field 2 of the Albuquerque Public Schools Soccer Complex.

Wyoming Economic Development Fueled By Wind Technologies, Other Energy Production
Dec/Jan 09
Even though other aspects of the economy are growing, "energy is king here and will be for some time," says Willis. Wind ranks among the most active energy sectors. Approximately 25 different wind projects are either recently completed, under construction, or in the permitting stage. He says that electric and gas transmission pipelines are underway to deliver energy products, as well as coal gasification and coal-to-clean diesel projects. GE Energy has signed with the University of Wyoming for the development of an advanced gasification research and technology center for research in advanced gasification methods for Power River Basin and other state coals.
The Equality State is also developing its reputation abroad. Willis reports that a German company is expected to announce a new location in Cheyenne in January for a project related to robotics systems and adhesives for cars and appliances. Preliminary plans include establishing a sales and service division and then later adding some manufacturing. Prospects for biotechnology projects are expected to visit the state later in 2009. Willis says that visits from German representatives have also resulted in a partnership between the University of Wyoming College of Business and Pforzheim University School of Business and Law in Germany to exchange faculty and students.
"Our incentives include grants that we make to local cities and counties that either provide infrastructure or build facilities," says Willis. "Right now we do about $50 million a year in those grants." Community enhancement also is a focus, with grants geared towards amenities such as new civic centers and child care centers for city dwellers. In 2008, the Western Rural Development Center reported that between 1980 and 2006, the state's population grew by 9.7 percent. Development plans include attracting and retaining a work force whose families will grow along with the state. Education is a high priority for attracting young, skilled employees, so, says Willis, "investment in education from kindergarten through 12th grade is a top priority."

If it worked the first time you might as well try it again. Lake Wales picked up a 20-9 Class 5A regional semifinals victory over Tampa Jesuit Friday in front of roughly 700 fans at Alumni Field at Corral Memorial Stadium.
TAMPA | If it worked the first time you might as well try it again.
Lake Wales picked up a 20-9 Class 5A regional semifinals victory over Tampa Jesuit Friday in front of roughly 700 fans at Alumni Field at Corral Memorial Stadium.
Highlanders senior quarterback Railond Garrett hit Davi'on Riley twice on the same pass play over the middle — once in the first half for 64-yard touchdown and then again on an 86-yard scoring strike in the fourth quarter -- to seize a trip to the regional finals.
"People found out just how fast (Riley) is," Lake Wales head coach Rod Shafer said. "I thought my defense played great. They gave up some yards but when it came down to it, they kept them off the board."
Merritt Island beat Palm Bay 14-6 to set up a regional finals showdown against Lake Wales Friday at Legion Field.
The Highlanders were trailing 9-7 late in the third quarter when senior running back Justin Henderson busted into the end zone on a 5-yard run to give Lake Wales a 13-9 lead.
"We challenged our lineman at halftime," Shafer said. "I thought they really stuffed us at the line of scrimmage in the first half. In the second half our offensive line stepped up and took care of business. They beat the heck out of them in the second half."
On the Highlanders' next possession Garrett hit Riley with the the second touchdown pass with 10:36 remaining in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
"The offensive line gave me time to get open and then Railond put it on the spot," Riley said. "Earlier in the season we ran that play and I got caught at the 5-yard line so I wasn't getting stopped this time.I just took it in."
Garrett finished the game 6-of-9 for 210 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while Henderson rushed for 61 yards on 11 carries.
Lake Wales almost scored on the last play of the first half when Garrett hit Darion Staten over the middle on a 2nd-and-13 play from the Highlanders' 42-yard line, but Staten was dragged down at the 7-yard line to end the half. And Marcus Walker had a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown called back on clipping penalty at midfield.

Jesuit 3 3 3 0 — 9

If only one revolver, which one?

Okay, that was hard to hear. Maybe harsh. Either way, wasn't what you or anyone wanted to hear.
Try this--get the world's most popular revolver. One of the best EVER, and they've made a zillion of them. Many of them were produced for issue-- police, corrections, security, various alphabet agencies... Most aren't in duty use these days, but MANY of them are available on the secondary market as issued with a lot of external wear, but still in
functional condition.
Durable. Accurate. Wholly enjoyable. Not bad lookin' either!
Smith & Wesson Model 10, 4-inch, heavy barrel, .38 Special.
Before things went nutbar in December, I've seen them locally under $250 and worth every single penny.
If you spend just a couple of bucks on one of these, you'll have a darn good one to introduce yourself to revolvers. You'll also have a pile of money left over -- which you
need, because you'll want more revolvers!
Attention Brass rats and other reloaders:
I really need
.327 Federal Magnum
brass, no lot size too small. Tell me what caliber you need and I'll see what I have to swap. PM me and we'll discuss.

Increasing numbers of cars are coming on to the market equipped with LED lights instead of the traditional incandescent globe. The big question is why?
LED stands for light emitting diode. The technology stems from the discovery last century that materials known as semiconductors glow when electrical current is through them.
In the 1970s, researchers managed to increase the intensity of this glow and LED lights began filtering into a range of applications. They are now used in all manner of places, including cars.
Unlike traditional incandescent globes that heat up a filament to produce light, LEDs barely heat up at all. In fact, heat measurements for traditional globes are 1000 times greater than those for LEDs.
But there are other, more important reasons why solid-state lighting, as it's also known, has come into favour. Because an LED does not need to produce lots of heat to work, a car's engine does not need to work as hard running the generator to power it. Less engine work means less fuel used.
Another plus is their lifespan. While we're constantly changing blown incandescent globes, LEDs instead lose their brightness slowly over time. Conventional wisdom suggests an LED will still produce 80 per cent of its brightness over about 11 years but it's really down to how well it is made.
It's also down to how well it's looked after by the car's electrical system. LEDs typically use somewhere between two and four volts, while cars generally use 12 volts. Get the flow of electricity to the LED even a little bit out of shape and the light's lifespan becomes considerably shorter.
White LEDs are the most expensive to make. That's because LED makers have to blend red, green and blue diodes to make a single diode emitting white light.
Just how white a white LED light can be is spelt out in the Australian Design Rules, the government-enforced guidelines for makers.
Many prestige makers are already using LEDs in daytime running lights.
However, don't expect to see everyone jumping on the LED bandwagon.
The bean counters back at headquarters generally don't like them because they're much more expensive to make and require more technical gear to manage.

Jfb....I want to know what i am having but DH doesnt want to know so i really dont know what i am going to do.
06-09-2011 16:12 #35
JFB - it's hard when bubs take 2 steps forward and 1 step back so to speak, you just get somewhere with them and it doesn't take much for them to revert to a previous stage. I've 'given' up myself at times by giving Evie a bot in the middle of the night if she hasn't resettled, it only seems to be when she's teething I have this problem but fortunately she doesn't tend to slide backwards in wanting to keep it up. We've had good sleep lately, it continues for now, she has another tooth coming but it seems to have gone back up, can't see it as much. She was really hyper today after I picked her up from daycare and is now asleep, a bit late for one but she wouldn't have made it until usual bed time, I'm guessing she will be up late tonight. Apparently she had a lot of fun today, was covered in paint.
Hope you have a better night tonight.
Alittle - perhaps you could have the sonographer write down on a piece of paper what the sexes are and put it in an envelope and peek at it later if dh still doesn't want to know & if you can keep it to yourself, that's what I did when I went for my scan bcs my mother was with me and she didn't want to know and I was undecided. In the end the temptation to look got the better of me and I opened the envelope that afternoon in front of both my parents so we got to find out all at the same time. I managed to keep it a secret from the rest of my family for a couple of weeks and announced it at my mum's 70th party, too many people were asking me what I was having and I sucked at lying that I didn't know.

Hello lovelies
Jfb - Nice roll call...look at all those bubbas on the way....woooo hooooooooo such an exciting time for our little tread.......makes me want another one.
Does anyone watch One Born Every Minute about the UK Maternity Ward....it was on last night and i cry every time a baby is born...makes me very clucky.......
Just wanted to say hello to everyone....
Kade and i are off to have a look at a Day Care this morning for next year....just checking out my options. Still haven't decided if i am going back though....
07-09-2011 10:36 #37
JFB, thanks for doing roll call - it's a nice reminder of where everyone's at.
Yes, you are correct, I'm hoping for FET in October - Thyroid dependant.
A's eczema is manageable, but we have allergy appointment next week which will be good. Her faeces sample came back as abnormal and showed an intolerance to lactose and sugar, sucrose or glucose, so I'm glad the doc did that - it was worth doing. Apparently because her gut is not digesting these things properbly it makes what comes out very acidic, hence eating into her skin, so this is a timely report for us to take to the allergy clinic next week. Hope H settles back into his old sleeping routine soon for you...... put those bottles in a place DH can't find them.
Kismet, hope Evies good sleeping habits last a while for you. Love the sound of Evie being covered in paint... would have made for a great photo .
Amum, I watched born every minute last year, but didn't realise it was back on again. Thanks for mentioning it - I was an addict... and shed a few tears watching it too.
I just need to do a bit of a vent, so here goes.... DH and I have been so busy with all the Will related stuff and we had planned to go down on Sunday to my mum's house and organise a big skip to help my step dad clean out the house and for me to pick up some of my mum's little treasures that I could keep and share with Amberly. She had a display cabinet with so many gorgeous little things that had so many wonderful stories attached to them. I called my step dad to advise him we were coming down to help. He said "don't bother, I have already done 3 skip loads and the house is virtually empty". Well I saw red. I didn't raise my voice, but said "for Christ sake K, you could have called me to tell me - you know there were so many little things I wanted to collect of mums that I would have treasured". I asked what had happened to the display cabinet and he had given that to his sister who he claims she donated it somewhere. GRRRRRR. She's not even relative. How dare he. He was also selling some of the more valuable stuff and had obviously trashed everthing else. He eventually said "BYE" and hung up on me be as I was crying and quite upset. I then rang back ask him if he realised that what he had done was illegal, as mum's Will clearly stated that her possessions were to go to me, not to him. There was no mention of him with respect to her personal posessions. His retort to that was "so sue me" and hung up on me. I balled for hours and now I am just so angry. I am seeking legal advice, but don't like my chances. Can't really afford to get too carried away, but so want him to finally be held accountable for his beligerant behaviour. God I hate him. . Major A$#hole I just so want him to pay, but am frightened I am the one who will end up losing out yet again. Vent over. Thanks for listening.

alittle: oh that is just utterly appaling behaviour, i would have been furious. is there anything of your mum's left at all? he sounds like a deadset a$$hole. well maybe he should heed your warning and go and sue his sorry a$$.....
hopefully u can get A's allergies sorted, must be dreadful for you having to see her go thru it, the poor thing, is she in much discomfort?
amum: are u not sure if u are going back to work at all? or just your old workplace? god i would have liked to stay at home til H was about 2yrs, but not sure of i could have been a FT sahm, but gee i would the like option of NOT having to go back to work . i would like to work 2 days a week MAX right now..im shagged, plus if everything goes ok this time i will increase my hours here (to get more mat leave ) so will be working 4.5 days a week..yuck, look out i will be cranky and my DH better stop whinging about my lack of housework skills (well cos he is a domestic god u know...not) cos our house will be permanently trashed!
H slept thru............of course. i went to bed at 8.30pm, managed to sleep most the night with just one pee break so it was the best nights sleep for a while.
07-09-2011 11:13 #39
Alittle that is just awfulI would still be making a little trip down there just to make sure. It never ceases to amze me how many aholes are out in this world & sadly when someone passes it brings out the worst in people. I would also speak to a solicitor.
Glad the DR has found out whats wrong with A, hopefully her skin will improve dramatically.
Amum dont go back to work if you dont have to
Kismet I hope they took a pic of Evie.
JFB how are you feeling? Not long until your scan!!!!
Moong I can't believe how close you are to having bub
Tired I hope your levels get sorted soon.
Spot & Picky
Very busy few days for Ash & I, seriously this child has a much better social life than I have today we are having a house day!!!!! We are off to Sydney on Friday overnight as my Sister is having a major melt down & we need to see my SIL also who had surgery last week, she is recovering really well, I'm sure seeing her favorite Nephew will make her smile.

JFB, Nessie, hubby has agreed to head down there late this afternoon. Just need to see for myself what he's done, so let's hope he will let us into the house to see. I've left a message to say we are coming so I'm praying he won't be there and we can just let ourselves in. Just spoke to legal aid and have left a message for the solicitor that drew up mum's will to see what can be done. He is definately in breech of the conditions of the will, but whether we can afford to do anything about it waits to be seen. Would love to be able to get some sort of monetary adjustment from him if possible... not because I want the money, but just to make him pay and feel some pain for his heartlessness.
As for A, aside from scratching lots and having to keep her mitted so she doesn't draw blood, she copes pretty well. It's just hard work as at every nappy change I have to lather her in Dermeze which is super slippery and greasy and then I have to keep a hawk eye on her before she starts to scratch. I grease her head up and then put a wet beanie on it most of the time which seems to have stopped her scratching her head, but I need an extra four arms to keep up with her on the change table. She goes for her legs, tummy and head which is pretty hard to stop when you're in the middle of changing nappies, especially pooey ones. If I get to the pooey ones quickly, her litte bot doesn't get too badly eaten... but if it happens in her sleep she will wake up crying cos it's hurting so I'm straight on to it.
JFB, awesome re H sleeping through
Nessie, LOL re Ash's social life - he's obviously a pretty cool and popular little dude. Hope both SIL are ok too

Hi everyone!
I know there are other threads on this topic but I wanted to start another because they haven't had much activity recently.
I'm looking for some advice and hopefully reassurance. My son was diagnosed with ganglioneuroblastoma last summer 2012 and had a major surgery to remove the tumor. They believe they removed it all and based on tumor genetics he's cancer free. We have been rejoicing for over a year now but I'm a little concerned. Did we do everything necessary to be sure it hadn't spread and are we doing everything to be sure it won't come back? He's just having simple ultrasounds every 6 months along with blood and urine tests and our oncologist would like to have completely released us before now but knows I'm apprehensive so he's continuting these simple tests. My son had an initial follow-up CT at 3 months but other that and the bone marrow biopsies with surgery we haven't done anything else.
I've read cases where this type of cancer reoccurs, where people have much more extensive follow-up and that it can even come back as neuroblastoma which is much more aggresive and deadly.
Any experience or advice for a worried mother?
Thank you in advance!

Interstitial cystitis (IC), a chronic bladder disease with an increasing incidence, is diagnosed using subjective symptoms in combination with cystoscopic and histological evidence. By cystoscopic examination, IC can be classified into an ulcerative and a non-ulcerative subtype. To better understand this debilitating disease on a molecular level, a comparative gene expression profile of bladder biopsies from patients with ulcerative IC and control patients has been performed.
Gene expression profiles from bladder biopsies of five patients with ulcerative IC and six control patients were generated using Affymetrix GeneChip expression arrays (Affymetrix – GeneChip® Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0). More than 31,000 of > 54,000 tested probe sets were present (detection p-value < 0.05). The difference between the two groups was significant for over 3,500 signals (t-test p-value < 0.01), and approximately 2,000 of the signals (corresponding to approximately 1,000 genes) showed an IC-to-healthy expression ratio greater than two. The IC pattern had similarities to patterns from immune system, lymphatic, and autoimmune diseases. The dominant biological processes were the immune and inflammatory responses. Many of the up-regulated genes were expressed in leukocytes, suggesting that leukocyte invasion into the bladder wall is a dominant feature of ulcerative IC. Histopathological data supported these findings.
GeneChip expression arrays present a global picture of ulcerative IC and provide us with a series of marker genes characteristic for this subtype of the disease. Evaluation of biopsies from other bladder patients with similar symptoms (e.g. patients with non-ulcerative IC) will further indicate whether the data presented here will be valuable for the diagnosis of IC.

It is with heavy heart that in one day I must announce the deaths of two well loved holistic doctors. The first was a "well known MD" according to local news, in the Austin, TX area, (mysterious doesn't even begin to describe his disappearance and subsequent death).
The second was a well loved doctor who lived and practiced in Southern California. His name was Dr. Jyrki Suutari. Dr. Suutari obviously had many friends who were quite shocked and saddened by his sudden very unexpected death. He was outspoken on the treatment of holistic doctors (namely chiropractors) in his writings, some of which can bee seen here on his personal Facebook page.
He allegedly killed himself in a garage on Mother's day. In light of many dozens of holistic doctors being found dead in a few short months (sometimes more than one in a day in locations close to one another), we felt obligated to report on any deaths that are mysterious.
A friend has set up a fundraiser here to help with the costs of his death – as he had a loving partner and young child.
His posts seemed mostly upbeat and again, some outspoken. His love for motorcycles and his family were very evident from his profile and photos.
Rest in peace Dr Suutari.
Read about all the holistic doctor deaths here.
Again, my heart truly goes out to his family, young child and loved ones.

Additional Information
Guitar One Magazine calls guitarist/vocalist Coco Montoya "the hottest southpaw in the blues" and raves about his "master touch and killer tone." The Boston Globe succinctly states that Montoya's music is "hot, blistering soul." From his early days as a drummer to his current status as one of the top-drawing guitarists and vocalists on the blues-rock scene, Montoya earned his status through years of hard work and constant touring. It all started with a chance meeting in the mid-1970s with legendary bluesman Albert Collins, who offered Montoya a gig as his drummer. Albert took an immediate liking to Montoya, becoming his mentor and teaching his new protégé the secrets of Collins' "icy hot" style of blues guitar. Five years later, British blues icon John Mayall happened to catch Montoya at a jam session and was blown away. Mayall recruited him as his guitarist in the legendary Bluesbreakers, and Montoya spent the next 10 years touring non-stop, proving himself to be a world-class guitar master in one of the most renowned blues bands in existence.
By the early 1990s, Montoya felt ready for a change. He put his own band together and hit the road, proving himself night after night. His debut as a leader, 1995's Gotta Mind To Travel (originally on Silvertone Records in England and later issued in the USA on Blind Pig Records), became an instant fan favorite. Blues fans, radio programmers and critics sent praise from all corners. The album immediately made it clear that Montoya was a guitarist and vocalist who ranked among the best players on the contemporary blues scene. In 1996, he was nominated for four Blues Music Awards and walked away with the award for Best New Blues Artist. Two more Blind Pig albums followed, and Coco was well on his way to the top of the blues-rock world.
In 2000, Coco's Alligator debut, Suspicion, quickly became the best-selling album of his career, earning regular radio airplay on over 120 stations nationwide. Montoya's fan base exploded. After two more highly successful Alligator releases—2002's massively popular Can't Look Back and 2007's Dirty Deal—Montoya signed with Ruf Records, cutting both a live and a studio album.
Back home on Alligator with Hard Truth, Montoya will hit the highway, playing his heart out night after night for fans hungry for the real thing. Still an indefatigable road warrior, Montoya continues to pack clubs and theaters around the world, and brings festival audiences to their feet from New York to New Orleans to Chicago to San Francisco. Across the globe, he's performed in countries including Australia, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Norway, England, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Mexico, Ecuador, Italy, Poland, Russia, Czech Republic and Canada. Vintage Guitar says, "Coco just keeps getting better and better...rockin' blues with guitar that cuts straight to the heart of the matter. His guitar playing is funky and blistering; it's perfect. Whatever he plays, he does it with fire and passion rarely seen in this day and age."

In Heartwarming Display of Austerity and Restraint, Army Adds Another 4-Star Billet
In this new era of threatening furloughs for schoolteachers and slashing funding for the training of brigade combat teams, the Army has made a heartwarming gesture of solidarity with troops making do with less by creating an additional four-star billet – with the attendant headquarters and staff.
Lieutenant General Michael Brooks – a 1980 West Point graduate – has been tapped to take command of U.S. Army forces in the Pacific. He will receive a promotion to the four-star rank – the equivalent of a combatant command billet such as SOUTHCOM, CENTCOM and EUROCOM.
General Brooks will command about 65,000 troops – roughly the equivalent of a corps – which normally justifies three stars. U.S. Army Pacific currently includes the 25th Division in Hawaii and Alaska, U.S. Army Korea, U.S. Army Japan, and the 9th Regional Support Command.
Even more curiously, General Brooks will assume his post this summer at Fort Shafter, Hawaii, just a short distance away from Camp Smith, the home of USPACOM, or US Pacific Command, a unified combatant command currently headed by a full four-star Admiral, Samuel J. Locklear.
General Brooks would be senior to the deputy commander of the unified combatant that oversees his own troops, Marine Lt. Gen. Thomas Conant.

I was reading an article about the distinguished warfare award from the department of defense. It allows all non combat service members the opportunity to wear this award.The order of merit is above the bronze star.Is this award really going to happen?
Yes, it is quite true. Jason wrote a pretty tongue-in-cheek report about it yesterday:
Hello CSM and thanks for writing!
Yes, the new medal is true, and it is above the BSM in the OML. Though not everyone in the rear echelons gets to wear it. You still have to do some really good work to qualify for it. I think the controversy isn't having a medal to recognize those troops who do yeoman work without necessarily deploying, but in putting it above the BSM in the OML.

avoiding any over cutting of the structural concrete system below. This attention to detail,

removal of the topping slabs in a most expeditious and efficient manner. Your stellar
performance accelerated the very difficult schedule and greatly aided in the success of this
delicate but highly visible project.

Review by AHS-Wolfy
Set on the cusp of the French revolution we follow a young André-Louis Moreau, godson (and presumed by most to be an illegitimate son) of a rural lord. Trained as a lawyer he is distraught when his friend, Philippe de Vilmorin, is forced into a duel with the Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr where he is totally outclassed and killed and the attempts at justice fall on deaf ears. Apolitical himself, André-Louis takes up his friend's cause and vows to destroy his killer in the process. A killer he was already predisposed to dislike due to affections shown by the Marquis to Aline, niece to his godfather and childhood playmate of both André-Louis and Philippe. When his speech incites a mob, André-Louis is accused of sedition so rather than wait for the hangman's noose he flees and finds a hiding place in a troupe of actors where he falls into the role of Scaramouche. With his natural gifts of oration and his previously sardonic outlook he soon settles into the role of comic instigator and advances the troupe's reputation enormously. It's not long before they're heading for the heights of perhaps even the Cemedie Francais in Paris. But what will happen when the paths of André-Louis and the Marquis cross again?The tone of the book differs quite a bit from that of the movie of which I'm sure more people are familiar with. The setting adds an extra element of tension to the story of the book with the film being a much more light-hearted romantic affair. These romantic entanglements are also much heightened in the film version. There are certainly enough differences to be able to enjoy both for what they are. The book is a tale of revenge, adventure, political intrigue, love and the study of man's nature. The hero is a complex character who, if he had been handled by a lesser author, would probably be difficult to like. He is good at everything he tries, sometimes appearing heartless and unaffected by events surrounding him. Not having an identity of his own he takes on the role of his murdered friend in order to avenge his death and then through the unfolding events discovers himself.

Iran is losing out on tax revenue from tobacco because two out of three cigarettes smoked nationwide are smuggled into the country, the official IRNA news agency said Thursday.
"Currently 45 billion cigarettes are smoked annually in Iran, 30 billion of which are smuggled into the country without earning any tax revenue for the government," free-trade zone official Hossein Nasiri said, cited by IRNA.
Iran's free-trade zones (FTZs) have recently been accused of being bases for massive smuggling operations, while FTZ officials contend the contraband operations were in place long before the zones were created.
Iran has three main free-trade zones -- the islands of Qeshm, Kish and the port of Shahbahr in the Gulf -- designated for offshore banks and industries. – (AFP)
