Military Evangelism Deeper, Wider Than First Thought
For US Army soldiers entering basic training at Fort Jackson Army base in Columbia, South Carolina, accepting Jesus Christ as their personal savior appears to be as much a part of the nine-week regimen as the vigorous physical and mental exercises the troops must endure.
That's the message directed at Fort Jackson soldiers, some of whom appear in photographs in government issued fatigues, holding rifles in one hand, and Bibles in their other hand.
Frank Bussey, director of Military Ministry at Fort Jackson, has been telling soldiers at Fort Jackson that "government authorities, police and the military = God's Ministers."
Bussey's teachings from the "God's Basic Training" Bible study guide he authored says US troops have "two primary responsibilities": "to praise those who do right" and "to punish those who do evil - "God's servant, an angel of wrath." Bussey's teachings directed at Fort Jackson soldiers were housed on the Military Ministry at Fort Jackson web site. Late Wednesday, the web site was taken down without explanation. Bussey did not return calls for comment. The web site text, however, can still be viewed in an archived format.
The Christian right has been successful in spreading its fundamentalist agenda at US military installations around the world for decades. But the movement's meteoric rise in the US military came in large part after 9/11 and immediately after the US invaded Iraq in March of 2003. At a time when the United States is encouraging greater religious freedom in Muslim nations, soldiers on the battlefield have told disturbing stories of being force-fed fundamentalist Christianity by highly controversial, apocalyptic "End Times" evangelists, who have infiltrated US military installations throughout the world with the blessing of high-level officials at the Pentagon. Proselytizing among military personnel has been conducted openly, in violation of the basic tenets of the United States Constitution.
Both sides take advantage of religious ignorance
Soldiers at Fort Jackson Army Base pose with their rifles and Bibles.

Perhaps no other fundamentalist Christian group is more influential than Military Ministry, a national organization and a subsidiary of the controversial fundamentalist Christian organization Campus Crusade for Christ. Military Ministry's national web site boasts it has successfully "targeted" basic training installations, or "gateways," and has successfully converted thousands of soldiers to evangelical Christianity.
Military Ministry says its staffers are responsible for "working with Chaplains and Military personnel to bring lost soldiers closer to Christ, build them in their faith and send them out into the world as Government paid missionaries" - which appears to be a clear-cut violation of federal law governing the separation of church and state.
"Young recruits are under great pressure as they enter the military at their initial training gateways," the group has stated on its web site. "The demands of drill instructors push recruits and new cadets to the edge. This is why they are most open to the 'good news.' We target specific locations, like Lackland AFB [Air Force base] and Fort Jackson, where large numbers of military members transition early in their career. These sites are excellent locations to pursue our strategic goals."
Mikey Weinstein, the founder and president of the government watchdog organization the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, whose group has been closely tracking Military Ministry's activities at Fort Jackson and other military bases around the country, said in an interview that using "the machinery of the state" to promote any form of religion is "not only unconstitutional and un-American but it also creates a national security threat of the first order."
A six-month investigation by MRFF has found Military Ministry's staff has successfully targeted US soldiers entering basic training at Lackland Air Force Base and Fort Sam Houston, with the approval of the Army base's top commanders.
"I've said it before and I will say it again," Weinstein said. "We are in the process of creating a fundamentalist Christian Taliban and somebody has to do something to stop it now."
Weinstein points out that on Fort Jackson's Military Ministry web site, the basic training battalion commander, Lt. Col. David Snodgrass, and the battalion's chaplain, Maj. Scott Bullock, who appear in uniform in a photograph with Bussey, is a clear-cut violation of Military rules. MRFF contacted Bussey via email on Wednesday to request information about the "similar programs" he claimed Fort Jackson has for soldiers of other faiths. Bussey, responding to MRFF via email, did not provide an answer to the watchdog group's question, but, instead, he fired back a query of his own asking MRFF Senior Research Director Chris Rodda to direct him to the place in the Constitution where it states there is a "separation of church and state."
Clause 3, Article VI of the Constitution forbids a religion test for any position in the federal government, and the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights says Congress shall make no law regarding an establishment of religion.
A spokesperson for the Fort Jackson Army base did not return calls for comment. Earlier this week, after MRFF exposed the potential constitutional violations between Military Ministry and the Fort Jackson Army base, Bussey added language to Military Ministry at Fort Jackson web site in the form of a "notice to MRFF and ACLU types" in bold red letters that says the Bible study classes are strictly voluntary, not command directed in any way, allows soldiers to exercise for themselves the right of freedom of religion ... and similar programs exist on Fort Jackson for Soldiers of all faiths."
In July, the Pentagon's inspector general (IG) responded to a complaint filed a year earlier by MRFF that accused Pentagon officials of violating the federal law governing the separation of church and state. The IG did not address the church/state issue, but he issued a 45-page report admonishing several high-level Pentagon officials for participating, while in uniform and on active duty, in a promotional video sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ's Christian Embassy group. The IG report quoted one high-ranking military official as saying he believed his participation in the video was acceptable because Campus Crusade for Christ had become so embedded in the Pentagon's day-to-day operations that he viewed the organization as a "quasi federal entity."
The IG report recommended the military officials who appeared in the video be disciplined, but the Pentagon would not say whether it has in fact punished the military officers who appeared in the video.
MRFF uncovered another recent Campus Crusade for Christ promotional video filmed at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs that would appear to violate the same military rules detailed in the IG report. Cadets and academy officials appear in uniform discussing how Campus Crusade for Christ helped strengthen their bonds with Jesus.
Scot Blom, the Campus Crusade for Christ director assigned to work at the Air Force Academy, says in the video the organization "has always been very intentional about going after the leaders or the future leaders" and that's why Campus Crusade for Christ picked the Air Force Academy to spread its fundamentalist Christian message. Every week, according to the video, cadets are encouraged to participate in a Bible study class called "cru" short for "crusade."
"Our purpose for Campus Crusade for Christ at the Air Force Academy is to make Jesus Christ the issue at the Air Force Academy and around the world," Blom says in the video. "They're government paid missionaries when they leave here."
Weinstein said the recent promotional video for Campus Crusade for Christ, and the photograph of US soldiers holding Bibles in one hand and rifles in the other posted on the Fort Jackson Military Ministry web site, gives the impression the Pentagon endorses the fundamentalist Christian organization and underscores that the occupation of Iraq and the war in Afghanistan appears to be more of a modern-day fundamentalist Christian crusade. That message, Weinstein said, could lead to more "jihads" against the United States.
Indeed. Weinstein, a former White House counsel during the Reagan administration, former general counsel to Texas billionaire and two-time presidential candidate H. Ross Perot and a former Air Force Judge Advocate General, said he had an "unexpected" telephone conversation with several senior Bush administration intelligence officials this week who encouraged him "to continue to fight for the separation of church and state in the US military" because, these senior administration intelligence officials told Weinstein, US troops are being put in harms way.
Weinstein said the senior administration intelligence officials told him they too have been tracking Islamic web sites where people have been discussing on message boards the fundamental Christianity issues Weinstein has raised within the US military. The intelligence officials told Weinstein they are concerned the fundamentalist Christian agenda surfacing in the military could lead to attacks against US soldiers. Weinstein said he could not identify the senior Bush intelligence administration officials he spoke with because they contacted him with the understanding they would not be named.
Fundamental Christianity's Influence on the Bush Administration
While Weinstein has worked tirelessly the past four years exposing the Christian Right's power grab within the military, he says the White House continues to thumb its nose at the constitutional provision mandating the separation of church and state.
Indeed. This week a US District Court judge ruled the White House must disclose its visitor logs showing White House visits by nine fundamentalist Christian leaders.
The ruling was issued in response to a lawsuit filed by the government watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), and could very well show how much influence fundamental Christian leaders such as James Dobson of Focus on the Family, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, Gary Bauer and Moral Majority co-founder Jerry Falwell have had on the Bush's administration.
"We think that these conservative Christian leaders have had a very big impact," said Melanie Sloan, executive director of CREW. "The White House doesn't want to talk about how much influence these leaders have, and we want to talk about how much they do have."
Bush has been vocal about his fundamentalist Christian beliefs and how God has helped him during his presidency. A couple of weeks ago, the White House sent out Christmas cards signed by President Bush and his wife Laura that contained a Biblical passage from the Old Testament:
"You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you."
The inclusion of the Biblical passage caught the attention of longtime broadcaster Barbara Walters, who was a recipient of the presidential Christmas card.
Walters said she doesn't recall receiving "religious" holiday cards from past presidents and she wondered how non-Christians would receive such an overtly religious greeting.
"Usually in the past when I have received a Christmas card, it's been 'Happy Holidays' and so on," said Walters. "Don't you think it's a little interesting that the president of all the people is sending out a religious Christmas card? Does this also go to agnostics, and atheists, and Muslims?"
The Biblical passage inside the Christmas card did not amount to a constitutional violation because it was paid for by the Republican National Committee, but Weinstein said it's intolerable, nonetheless, because military officials believe they have the approval of the White House to allow fundamentalist Christian organizations and their leaders to proselytize in the military.
Recently, Bush nominated Brig. Gen. Cecil R. Richardson, the deputy Air Force Chief of Chaplains, to replace the outgoing Air Force Chief of Chaplains, and is in line to be promoted to Major General. Richardson was quoted in a front-page, July 12, 2005, New York Times story saying the Air Force reserves the right "to evangelize the unchurched." The distinction, Richardson said at the time, "is that proselytizing is trying to convert someone in an aggressive way, while evangelizing is more gently sharing the gospel."
Weinstein filed a federal lawsuit against the Air Force in October 2005 after Richardson's comments were published alleging "severe, systemic and pervasive" religious discrimination within the Air Force. Weinstein is a 1977 graduate of the Academy. His sons and a daughter in law are also academy graduates. Weinstein's book, "With God On Our Side: One Man's War Against An Evangelical Coup in America's Military," details the virulent anti-Semitism he was subjected to while he attended the academy and the religious intolerance that has permeated throughout the halls over the past several years.
The federal lawsuit Weinstein filed was dismissed, but the Air Force agreed to withdraw a document that authorized chaplains to evangelize members of the military. Still, Weinstein said MRFF would lobby senators to oppose Richardson's nomination because of his past statements Richardson has refused to retract.
"The Military Religious Freedom Foundation will do everything in our power to convince the United States Senate to reject the nomination of Brig. Gen. Cecil R. Richardson to become the chief of Air Force chaplains and his promotion to the rank of major general," Weinstein said in an interview. "We view Richardson as the prototypical poster child of the type of constitutional rapist we are trying to eradicate from existence within the US military."
In September, MRFF filed a lawsuit in federal court against Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and US Army Maj. Freddy Welborn, on behalf of an Army soldier stationed in Iraq. The complaint filed in US District Court in Kansas City alleges that Jeremy Hall's an Army specialist currently on active duty in Combat Operations Base Speicher, Iraq, First Amendment rights were violated when Welborn threatened to retaliate against Hall and block his reenlistment in the Army because of Hall's atheist beliefs.
"When You Join the Military, Then You Are Also in the Ministry"
The executive director of Military Ministry, retired US Army Major General Bob Dees, wrote in the organization's October 2005 "Life and Leadership" newsletter, "We must pursue our particular means for transforming the nation - through the military. And the military may well be the most influential way to affect that spiritual superstructure. Militaries exercise, generally speaking, the most intensive and purposeful indoctrination program of citizens...."
Moreover, Military Ministry's parent organization, Campus Crusade for Christ, has been re-distributing to military chaplains a DVD produced a decade ago where Tommy Nelson, a pastor at the Denton Bible Church in Denton, Texas, tells an audience of Texas A&M cadets and military officers when they join the military "then you are also in the ministry."
"I, a number of years ago, was speaking at the University of North Texas - it happens to be my alma mater, up in Denton, Texas - and I was speaking to an ROTC group up there, and when I stepped in I said, "It's good to be speaking to all you men and women who are in the ministry," and they all kind of looked at me, and I think they wondered if maybe I had found the wrong room, or if they were in the wrong room, and I assured them that I was speaking to men and women in the ministry, these that were going to be future officers," Nelson says in the DVD.

When Kate Donadio's frustrated wife, Julie, begins chopping a vegetable in the world premiere of Skin, audiences can be forgiven for thinking that playwright Steve Yockey is foreshadowing some unspeakable deed to come. In his previous works such as Sleepy and Cartoon, Yockey frequently put the extremities of human behavior onstage.
It turns out, however, that the key prop in the scene isn't the knife but the vegetable. With Martha Stewart-like efficiency, Julie cuts cucumber slices to place on her eyes at night, both to prevent dark circles and put up a personal shield in her unhappy bedroom. Although Skin builds to some moments of cruel and unsettling behavior, the violence remains emotional, not physical.
Skin belongs in the class of raw, raunchy plays such as Patrick Marber's Closer by tracking the power dynamics of love and sex among smart urbanites: new lovers Martin and Laura (Joe Sykes and Angelyn Pass) and jaded marrieds Julie and Smith (Kate Donadio and Theroun Patterson). Unlike Closer, Skin features generally credible roles and relationships as well as empathy for the characters as their desires prompt them to act against their best judgment. Director Kate Warner helps ensure that the show's occasional nudity feels appropriate and not like the world's biggest distraction.
Like a carnivore among prey, Alison Hastings plays Kyle, a young woman who pursues indiscriminate, consequence-free sex at every opportunity. Hastings' physical presence and the spare details in Yockey's writing suggest a person with little emotional life beyond her body. While Kyle comes across an unexpected reminder of her "old" life, Hastings performs a remarkably affecting breakdown scene.
Despite a pessimistic attitude, Skin features cheerful flourishes of humor, particularly when two of the characters turn out to be co-workers and share some inappropriate office conversation. Donadio proves particularly funny and sharp when Julie's façade cracks, revealing outbursts of rage and saucy pleasure. Skin could benefit from more of such moments. It winds down a little too soon, as if important facets of the characters still need to be explored. It's a testament to the play's sharp construction and engaging performances that leave you wanting to see a little more Skin.
Skin. Through Feb. 24. $7.50-$15. Fri.-Sat., 8 p.m. Dad's Garage Top Shelf Theatre, 280 Elizabeth St. 404-523-3141. www.dadsgarage.com.

The book is more than worth it for this one chapter.

AFAA is and has been an amazing organization to work with on many levels! As a parent of a child with food allergies there are daily battles. We have ongoing worries about safety, security, belonging, and enjoyment of life for our children. AFAA supports parents and individuals with food allergies in so many amazing ways. They get the word out to the public that food allergies need to be taken seriously by meeting with legislators, going to the state capitol, and completing interviews on television and radio. AFAA includes children in their work as they have holiday activities that do not involve food. A few of our favorites are the Halloween party, 4th of July parade, and the Walk at the Mall of America. What amazes me is the dedication and persistence that the leaders of this organization show. They have been positive role models for me and family from the first encounter with AFAA! We look forward to our life long journey with food allergies knowing that we have AFAA on our side.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
being invited to be the chair of the annual conference at the University of Minnesota, volunteering at the Minnesota State fair, sitting in on a meeting with Minnesota legislators, receiving e-magazines of upcoming events, and being kept up to date on news and events centered around food allergies.

I still can't understand why there's a fan pointed to the inner of the extruder and nobody wants to answer me.

DrewTM - in reply to BRAINDISIS
There appears to be a small problem with this design, the inside edge of the lever, just underneath the bearing, is fouling against the ridge on the center of the stepper, which means there is a tiny gap that you cant close between the drive wheel and the bearing. Its probably not an issue in most cases, but i have some particularly thin filament (1.63 mm) and its slipping. I was able to fix it by shaving off a small amount along that edge with a craft knife, but it might be a good idea to put a small inset about 1.5mm high along that bottom edge, if you make the top a curve, you wont need support material to print it. alternatively, shift the pole for the bearing forward by a small amount, so the bearing is closer in.
The fan/heatsink are pointless and unnecessary.
Tshawkins - in reply to OhNoMrBill
I struggled making the QU-BD extruder work until I found this MOD. I also hobbed the brass gear and was able to get the original to work long enough to make this. I used the same spring for a Wade's hinged without cutting it. It was tough getting it compressed but there is no doubt that there is grip. I have printed for over 6 hours without a jam.
After using this mod for a couple weeks, this mod works great!
What kind of spring is needed? One from a standard wade extruder would work?
Did you need to change out the drive wheel / hobbed bolt as well, or were you able to use the QU-BD one?

Looks a lot like Bart Drings mod - have you used this very much?

Wonderful Waterford.
By Jane for Jewels
from montreal
What can I say. Everyone must know Waterford is top quality. I owned a Waterford biscuit barrel years ago. It disappeared during a move and I always missed it. I was so happy to purchase another. I use it on my kitchen counter as a candy or cookie jar. It catches the light and is a piece of jewellery for my kitchen. I love it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Sex Pistols star in director Julien Temples bizarre and hilarious fictional documentary that charts the rise and fall of punks most notorious band through the eyes of its calculating manager, Malcolm McLaren. Mixing animation and midgets with footage of some of The Pistols most electrifying live performances, the 1980 film presents the bands success as an elaborate scam perpetrated by McLaren to make "a million pounds" at the expense of record companies, outraged moralists, the British Royal Familyand even the fans and band members themselves.
The Great Rock Rock n Roll Swindle was called "a parable of our times" by the Guardian (UK), but most music fans simply consider it one of the best rock films ever. More than 25 years after their breakup, The Sex Pistols music continues to influence punk and post-punk bands the world over. The Great Rock n Roll Swindle shows why.

Upcycling ties really isn't the most unique thing… It's a pretty obvious choice, as they come in such brilliant, luxurious fabrics. Also, fabric necklaces aren't that unique and they have popped up everywhere… anyway, here is my combination of the two. I love how you use the narrow end of the tie, which often gets left-over after using the wider part for projects. And believe me, these are made in no time at all, which means you actually get to keep some for yourself :-) For the full tutorial, please visit my blog Of Dreams and Seams

At UCLA, a busy week of recovery from the flood
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
UCLA Newsroom
Flood-damaged Pauley Pavilion floor has already been removed.
In the week since a burst water main inundated part of UCLA, repair crews have made progress returning affected areas of campus to normal. Parking structures have been drained and declared safe for repairs. The damaged floor of Pauley Pavilion has been removed. The Arthur Ashe Student Health and Wellness Center has largely reopened.
Campus crews and contractors have worked around the clock, removing saturated drywall, pulling up soaked carpets and repairing landscaping scoured by flood waters, among other tasks, said Kelly Schmader, assistant vice chancellor for facilities management. The five buildings, two parking structures and grounds damaged by the flood are being transformed, with some reopening while others will take more time to repair.
"We hired a few contract firms to speed the remediation effort, and we had our own men and women in blue-and-white shirts working shoulder to shoulder with those contractors remediating damaged areas," Schmader said. "Now we're getting back to normal and moving into the restoration phase."
While crews have removed the damaged wood floor in Pauley Pavilion, other repairs to locker rooms and meeting rooms are ongoing. Last week, Athletics Director Dan Guerrero announced his commitment to have Pauley ready for the start of basketball season on Oct. 31.
Parking structures 4 and 7 have been fully drained and cleared of the nearly 1,000 vehicles once trapped inside. Most of the cars have been claimed by their owners – drivers continue to have their insurance companies tow away the 200 that remained in remote lots as of noon today.
A structural engineer has evaluated the parking structures and declared them safe, Schmader said, relieving concerns about the long-term loss of parking capacity. The structures remain closed, with access points fenced, as crews remove dirt and debris and ensure that lights, ventilation and fire-safety systems are working properly. Repairs are also needed where the water pressure blasted steel stairwell doors off their hinges and blew the doors off elevators.
In the lower level of Structure 4 beneath the John Wooden Recreation Center, the vinyl coating peeled off the ceiling and exposed the drywall, which requires replacement.
While most of the Arthur Ashe Student Health and Wellness Center is back in use, repairs are planned for the basement, which was severely damaged, and for an elevator that suffered significant water damage.
Staff at the John Wooden Recreation Center recently reopened the cardio and weight rooms on the west side of the gym and hope to open most of the second floor next week. The locker rooms, rock wall and adjacent cardio equipment remain off-limits. Workers have already removed ruined drywall and carpet and are preparing to replace it. However, the first-floor courts throughout the gym were badly damaged, and replacing them is likely to take until mid-fall.
Collins Court's damaged floor.
The J.D. Morgan Center and the Acosta Athletic Training Complex both took on several inches of water and remain closed, but it's anticipated that they will open within one to two weeks. Crews have already installed fresh drywall, and new carpet is due in next week.
Drake Stadium's recently installed blue running track appears to be undamaged, but Athletics and Recreation will keep an eye out for problems. Marshall Field, located in the middle of the track, will reopen after resodding. UCLA's intramural field has already reopened.
Campus officials are keeping a tally of costs incurred in the flooding and its aftermath. Campus officials have said that the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, which owns the 93-year-old water pipe that burst on July 29, bears financial responsibility for the damage.
About 300 facilities staffers worked side by side with contractors over the past week to move the campus toward normalcy, while 600 other facilities employees ensured that the rest of the campus will be ready for the beginning of the school year, Schmader said.
"It's pretty inspiring to see how committed everyone is to our campus," he said. "It's great to be surrounded by this team. They really rise to the occasion, especially when there's a crisis like this."

World Powers and Iran Make "good start" Towards Nuclear Accord
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
February 21, 2014 2:59 PM EST
Six world powers and Iran made a "good start" in talks in Vienna towards reaching a final settlement in the decade-old stand-off over Tehran's nuclear programme, but conceded their plan to get a deal in the coming months was very ambitious.
World Powers and Iran Make "good start" Towards Nuclear Accord
By late July, Western governments hope to hammer out an accord that would lay to rest their suspicions that Iran is seeking the capability to make a nuclear bomb, an aim it denies, while Tehran wants a lifting of economic sanctions.
Wide differences remain on how this could be achieved, although the two sides said on Thursday they agreed during meetings this week in the Austrian capital on what to discuss and a preliminary timetable for the talks on such an accord.
"We have had three very productive days during which we have identified all of the issues we need to address in reaching a comprehensive and final agreement," European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton told reporters.
"There is a lot to do. It won't be easy but we have made a good start," said Ashton, who speaks on behalf of the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany.
Senior diplomats from the six nations, as well as Ashton and Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, will meet again on March 17, also in Vienna, and have a series of further discussions ahead of the July deadline.
Tehran denies that its nuclear programme has any latent military purposes and has signalled repeatedly it would resist dismantling its nuclear installations as part of any deal.
"I can assure you that no one had, and will have, the opportunity to impose anything on Iran during the talks," Zarif told reporters.
A senior U.S. official who asked not to identified cautioned that the exchanges with Iran would be "difficult" but the sides were committed to reaching a deal soon.
"This will be a complicated, difficult and lengthy process. We will take the time required to do it right," the official said. "We will continue to work in a deliberate and concentrated manner to see if we can get that job done."
As part of the diplomatic process, Ashton will go to Tehran on March 9-10.
A diplomatic source clarified that the two sides did not produce a text of an agreed framework for future negotiations or detailed agenda for upcoming meetings, rather only agreeing a broad range of subjects to be addressed in coming months.
While modest in scope, the arrangement is an early step forward in the elusive search for a settlement that could ward off the danger of a wider war in the Middle East, reshape the regional power balance and open up big new trade opportunities with Iran, an oil-producing market of 76 million people.
For Iran, a halt to sanctions imposed by the United States, European governments and the United Nations, would end years of isolation and lift its battered economy.
The six powers' overarching goal is to extend the time Iran would need to make enough fissile material and assemble equipment for a nuclear bomb, and to make such a move easier to detect before it became a fait accompli.
They will want to cap uranium enrichment at a low fissile concentration, limit research and development of new nuclear equipment, decommission a substantial portion of Iran's centrifuges used to refine uranium and allow more intrusive U.N. non-proliferation inspections.
The Vienna talks followed a ground-breaking interim accord between Iran and the six powers in November under which Tehran suspended higher-level enrichment until late July in return for limited relief from sanctions.
That deal was made possible by the election of relative moderate President Hassan Rouhani, replacing bellicose hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, last year on a platform of rebuilding the OPEC member state's foreign relations.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog, which has a critical role in monitoring the agreement's implementation, issued an update on Thursday showing Iran was living up to its commitments.
Its report said Iran's most sensitive nuclear stockpile - uranium refined to a fissile concentration of 20 percent, a relatively short technical step away from potential weapons-grade material - had declined significantly for the first time in four years and was now well below the amount needed for one bomb, if processed to a high degree.
Since halting this enrichment under last year's deal, Iran has diluted some of the material to lower-level uranium and converted some into a less proliferation-sensitive oxide form.
But many difficult hurdles remain to be settled.
Iran's unfinished heavy water Arak reactor, which could yield plutonium for bombs, and its underground Fordow uranium enrichment site will be among key sticking points in the talks.
"We have begun to see some areas of agreement as well as areas in which we will have to work though very difficult issues," the senior U.S. official said.
The official declined to respond specifically to Iran's suggestions that its ballistic missile programme, which the West worries could be a way to deliver an atomic bomb to its target, would not be up for negotiation.
"All of the issues of concern to the international community regarding Iran's nuclear programme are on the table," the official said. "And all of our concerns must be met in order to get a comprehensive agreement ... Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed."
Iranian ballistic missile work is banned under U.N. Security Council sanctions targeting the nuclear programme.
Zarif said, according to the official IRNA news agency: "Nothing except Iran's nuclear activities will be discussed in the talks with the (six powers), and we have agreed on it".
A U.S. delegation will be visiting Israel and Saudi Arabia shortly to discuss the negotiations with Iran, the U.S. official. Both countries are upset about signs of a possible Western rapprochement with their common adversary.
