The long-term goal of our work is to understand the molecular mechanisms that control eukaryotic mRNA stability, which is a critical step in gene regulation. One major pathway of mRNA turnover in eukaryotes initiates with poly(A) tail shortening, which triggers decapping, leading to 5'to 3'exonucleolysis. Decapping is a key step in this pathway because it induces degradation of the mRNA, and is the site of numerous control inputs including the poly(A) tail and specific sequences that modulate mRNA decapping rate. Given this importance, we focused on understanding the mechanisms of mRNA decapping. In the past funding period, we clarified the nature of the decapping enzyme, identified the mechanisms by which some proteins affect the rate of decapping, and provided strong evidence that a key step in decapping is exiting the translating pool of mRNAs coupled with a specific mRNP re-arrangement. In addition, we also identified novel cytoplasmic structures (referred to as P-bodies) where the mRNA decapping machinery is concentrated and where mRNA degradation can occur. P-bodies are significant because: 1) they imply unanticipated compartmentalization of mRNA decay, which becomes a possible point of mRNA regulation, 2) are conserved in other eukaryotes and 3) are likely to be sites of additional events in mRNA biology, possibly including storage of translationally repressed mRNAs. In this grant, we will continue our analysis of mRNA decapping with a focus on understanding the composition, properties, and function of P-bodies.
The specific aims are as follows: I) Determine the composition and ultrastructure of P-bodies II) Analyze P-body assembly III) Analyze the function of the Dhhl and Pat1 proteins IV) Determine if P-bodies function in other aspects of cytoplasmic mRNA physiology.

Deep Dive On Gaylord
14/07/19 10:39 Filed in: Rios Reports| MLB| Just Because
It's either nostalgia or it's CSI-ing a long-ago train wreck, but I have found myself even more intrigued by Gaylord Perry's career after watching that Letterman interview. This here article is a nice recap to his infamous legacy. My only quibble is the use of the word "allegedly." I mean, just look at the subtitle of his book:

This is how I feel about YouTubes anti cyber bullying policy. In order for them to remove the bully. They have to violate their harassment / cyber bullying policy, most of the time they do nothing so the bully can continue to bully you in any way they want YouTube sits there like. " eh your getting bullied their making mean videos of you, leaving you nasty messages and comments etc. They didn't violate anything there staying deal with it! " Funny you have something with copyright laws in a video and BOOM you and your videos gone, like that. Like this " hey your video has music with copyright laws YOUR OUTTA HERE!

Iran unveils first semi-heavy missile-equipped submarine
February 17, 2019
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's state TV is reporting that the country's President Hassan Rouhani has unveiled the first Iranian made semi-heavy submarine. The Sunday report said the Fateh, "Conqueror" in Persian, is capable of being fitted with cruise missiles.
Since 1992, Iran has developed a homegrown defense industry that produces light and heavy weapons ranging from mortars and torpedoes to tanks and submarines. The Fateh has subsurface-to-surface missiles with a range of about 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles), capable of reaching Israel and U.S. military bases in the region.
Iran pressures Europe to do more to save the nuclear deal
February 17, 2019
MUNICH (AP) — Europeans need to do more than talk if they want to preserve a deal meant to keep Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon after the unilateral withdrawal of the United States, Iran's foreign minister said Sunday, slamming Washington as the "biggest source of destabilization" in the Middle East.
Mohammad Javad Zarif told a gathering of world leaders, top defense officials and diplomats that a barter-type system known as INSTEX, which was set up last month by France, Germany and Britain to allow businesses to skirt direct financial transactions with Iran and thereby evade possible U.S. sanctions, is not enough.
"Many around the world, particularly on this continent, speak eloquently about multilateralism, but they also need to walk the walk," Zarif told the Munich Security Conference in an impassioned address. "INSTEX falls short of the commitments by (European countries) to save the nuclear deal. Europe needs to be willing to get wet if it wants to swim against a dangerous tide of U.S. unilateralism."
The three European nations, as well as Russia, China and the European Union as a whole, have been struggling to save the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran since President Donald Trump announced a unilateral American withdrawal from it last year and re-imposed sanctions on Iran.
The deal promises Iran relief from sanctions in exchange for limiting its nuclear program, and so far the International Atomic Energy Agency has said that Tehran has been living up to its obligations.
Those working to preserve the agreement have been trying to walk a fine line between mollifying Iran without angering Washington. Zarif's comments appeared directed at European assurances that INSTEX could concentrate on products not currently subject to U.S. sanctions, such as medicine, medical supplies and agricultural goods, rather than on broader trade.
On Saturday, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence slammed INSTEX and urged others to abandon the nuclear deal entirely. "The time has come for our European partners to stop undermining U.S. sanctions against this murderous revolutionary regime," Pence said before leaving Germany. "The time has come for our European partners to stand with us and with the Iranian people, our allies and friends in the region. The time has come for our European partners to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal."
Before Pence spoke, German Chancellor Angela Merkel defended the Iran deal, saying while she shared concerns about Iran's missile program and its regional ambitions, it was important to keep "the small anchor we have (with Iran) in order maybe to exert pressure in other areas."
Merkel's comments, and her defense of global diplomacy instead of a go-it-alone foreign policy, drew lengthy applause. Zarif told the conference that Pence had "arrogantly demanded that Europe must join the United States in undermining its own security and breaking its obligations" and urged them to push back against American pressure.
"If the United States were to come, in the course of their fight with China, and tell Europe to stop dealing with China, what would you do?" he asked. "Whatever you want to do then, do now, in order to prevent that eventuality."
He would not comment on whether the nuclear deal will survive without the U.S. but said Iran was not prepared to renegotiate it as Trump has suggested. "Nothing can be done that is better than this deal," he said. "It's not all we want and it's certainly not all the United States wants but it's the best that can be achieved."
Responding to Pence's comments that Iran was the "greatest threat to peace in the Middle East," Zarif said the U.S. had an "unhealthy fixation" with Iran and was itself the "single biggest source of destabilization in our neighborhood."
"The U.S. claims … that it is Iran which is interfering in the region, but has it ever been asked whose region?" Zarif said. "Just glimpse at a map for a second — the U.S. military has traveled 10,000 kilometers to dot all our borders with its bases. There is a joke that it is Iran's fault that it put itself in the middle of all (the) U.S. bases."
Zarif also accused the U.S. administration of looking for regime change in Iran — something Washington denies — and said Israel was "looking for war" with "violations of Lebanon's air space and shooting into Syria."
"The risk (of war) is great, but the risk will be even greater if you continue to turn a blind eye to severe violations of international law," he said. Benny Gantz, a former Israeli military chief and Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu's primary challenger in the upcoming April election, responded in a separate forum, slamming Iranian aggression in the region.
"On my watch, there will be no appeasement (of Iran). On my watch, Iran will not threaten Israel by taking over Syria, Lebanon or Gaza strip," he said. "On my watch, Iran will not have nuclear weapons."
Gantz told the audience, speaking of Zarif: "do not be deceived by his eloquence. Do not be fooled by his lies." The Munich Security Conference is an annual gathering of world leaders and defense and foreign policy officials.

Report: At least 20 Guard personnel killed in Iran bombing
February 13, 2019
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A suicide bombing targeting a bus carrying personnel of Iran's elite paramilitary Revolutionary Guard force killed at least 20 people and wounded 20 in the country's southeast, state media reported. An al-Qaida-linked Sunni extremist group operating across the border in Pakistan reportedly claimed the assault.
The bombing came on the same day a U.S.-led conference in Warsaw was to include discussions on what America describes as Iran's malign influence across the wider Mideast. It also comes two days after Iran marked the 40th anniversary of its 1979 Islamic Revolution and four decades of tense relations with the West.
Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif directly linked the meeting to the attack. "Is it no coincidence that Iran is hit by terror on the very day that (hashtag)WarsawCircus begins?" Zarif wrote on Twitter. "Especially when cohorts of same terrorists cheer it from Warsaw streets & support it with (Twitter) bots?"
The state-run IRNA news agency, citing what it described as an "informed source," reported the attack on the Guard in Iran's Sistan and Baluchistan province. The province, which lies on a major opium trafficking route, has seen occasional clashes between Iranian forces and Baluch separatists, as well as drug traffickers.
The Guard is a major economic and military power in Iran, answerable only to the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. It later issued a statement saying a vehicle loaded with explosives targeted a bus carrying border guards affiliated with its force.
While Iran has been enmeshed in the wars engulfing Syria and neighboring Iraq, it largely has avoided the bloodshed plaguing the region. In 2009, more than 40 people, including six Guard commanders, were killed in a suicide attack by Sunni extremists in Sistan and Baluchistan province. Jundallah, a Sunni extremist group still active in the region on Iran's border with Pakistan, claimed responsibility for that attack.
More recently, another Sunni extremist group known as Jaish al-Adl linked to al-Qaida, kidnapped 11 Iranian border guards in October. Five later were returned to Iran and six remained held. Both official and semi-official Iranian media outlets blamed Wednesday's bombing on Jaish al-Adl, or "Army of Justice," saying the group had claimed the attack.
That group formed in 2012 and drew some militants from Jundallah, experts believe. Iran long has suspected Saudi Arabia of supporting the militants, something Riyadh denies. It's also unclear how the militants have been able to operate freely from Pakistan for years.
A coordinated June 7, 2017 Islamic State group assault on Parliament and the shrine of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution. At least 18 people were killed and more than 50 wounded.
And most recently in September, militants disguised as soldiers opened fire on a military parade in Iran's oil-rich southwestern city of Ahvaz, killing 24 people and wounding over 60. Khamenei blamed Riyadh and Abu Dhabi for the attack, allegations denied by both countries.
Arab separatists in the region claimed responsibility, as did the Islamic State group. The attacks come as Iranian officials have said they blame Saudi Arabia and the United States for stirring up dissent in the country. President Donald Trump, who campaigned on a promise of tearing up Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers, withdrew the U.S. from the accord last May. Since then, the United Nations says Iran has kept up its side of the bargain, though Iranian officials have increasingly threatened to resume higher enrichment.
Amid the new tensions, Iran's already-weakened economy has been further challenged. There have been sporadic protests in the country as well, incidents applauded by Trump amid Washington's maximalist approach to Tehran.
Khamenei, who earlier approved President Hassan Rouhani's outreach to the West during the nuclear deal negotiations, dismissed any future dealings with the U.S. "About the United States, the resolution of any issues is not imaginable and negotiations with it will bring nothing but material and spiritual harm," Khamenei said in a statement.
The Warsaw summit, which started Wednesday, was initially pegged to focus entirely on Iran. However, the U.S. subsequently made it about the broader Middle East, to boost participation. Zarif earlier predicted the Warsaw summit would not be productive for the U.S.
"I believe it's dead on arrival or dead before arrival," he said at a news conference before the bombing.
Gambrell reported from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Iranians mark anniversary of victory day in 1979 revolution
February 11, 2019
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Waving Iranian flags, chanting "Death to America" and burning U.S. and Israeli flags, hundreds of thousands of people poured out onto the streets across Iran on Monday, marking the date that's considered victory day in the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
On Feb. 11 that year, Iran's military stood down after days of street battles, allowing the revolutionaries to sweep across the country while the government of U.S.-backed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi resigned and the Islamic Republic was born.
In Tehran, despite the rain, crowds streamed in from the capital's far-flung neighborhoods to mass in the central Azadi, or Freedom, Square, waving Iranian flags and chanting "Death to America" — standard fare at rallies across Iran.
Chants of "Death to Israel" and "Death to Britain" followed, and demonstrators burned U.S. and Israeli flags. Iranian state TV, which said millions participated in the celebrations, ran archive footage of the days of the uprising and played revolutionary songs. It later broadcast footage showing crowds across the country of 80 million.
The 6-mile-long downtown Enghelab, or Revolution, Street was decorated with huge balloons as loudspeakers blared out revolutionary and nationalist songs. Every year, the anniversary festivities start on Feb. 1 — the day Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned from France after 14 years in exile to become the supreme leader as Shiite clerics took power. The celebrations continue for 10 days, climaxing on Feb. 11.
This year's anniversary comes as Iran grapples with the aftermath of President Donald Trump's decision last May to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal and restore tough U.S. sanctions. Speaking from a podium in central Tehran, President Hassan Rouhani addressed the crowds for nearly 45 minutes, lashing out at Iran's enemies — America and Israel — and claiming their efforts to "bring down" the country through sanctions will not succeed.
"The presence of people in this celebration means that plots by the enemies … have been defused," Rouhani said. "They will not achieve their ill-omened aims." In the backdrop to Monday's marches, the military displayed Iranian-made missiles, which authorities showcase every year during anniversary celebrations. The missiles have a range of up to 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles), placing Israel and U.S. military bases within range.
Over the past decade, Iran has frequently test-fired and displayed missiles, sent several short-lived satellites into orbit and in 2013 launched a monkey into space. The ballistic missile tests have angered the United States, which fears they are part of an effort to develop a nuclear weapons capability, something Iran insists it has never sought. The 2015 nuclear agreement urged Iran to cease such missile tests, but did not forbid them outright.
"We do not and we will not ask permission for producing any type of missiles from anybody," Rouhani said in his speech Monday, though he stressed that Iran would "continue constructive engagement" with the international community.
Rouhani also promised that Iran would overcome its economic hardships, worsened by the restored U.S. sanctions. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Quds Force, attended a rally in the southern city of Kerman. He is widely seen as the mastermind of Iran's extensive military activities across the region, which have also angered Washington. Iran supports the Lebanese Hezbollah and other militias in the region, and is closely allied with Syria's government.
In Tehran, 27-year-old medical student Hossein Hosseinpour walked with his wife and their 18-month-old son. He said he wanted to teach his son to support the revolution. "I see a bright future for him and our nation," Hosseinpour said.
Mahmoud Hemmati, 35, was pushing his 68-year-old mother, Parivash Fakheri, in a wheelchair. "My mother, despite her illness, asked me to bring her out," he said. Fakheri, who was one of the revolutionaries on the streets of Tehran in 1979, said she would defend the revolution all over again.
"I know there are many economic problems today, but that is something different from our revolution," she said. "It has been moving forward over the past 40 years and making Iran stronger." Last week, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei defended the "Death to America" chants, saying they are aimed at America's leaders, such as Trump, and not its people.
The Iranian people "will not stop saying 'Death to America' as long as the U.S. acts maliciously" toward Iran, Khamenei said. Iranian state TV anchor Mehdi Khosravi said he expects John Bolton, the U.S. national security adviser, to be very angry on Monday since he had once predicted that Iranians will not see the 40th anniversary of their revolution.
Last year, Bolton told a meeting of Iranian exiles that "before 2019, we here … will celebrate in Iran."
Iran unveils new long-range cruise missile
Posted by Ammaar ibn Walid in Atmariar Gulf, Atmariar News, Iran on February 7, 2019
February 3, 2019
Iran on Saturday unveiled a new cruise missile with range up to 1,350 kilometers (around 840 miles), according to Iran's state television.
The missile, named Hoveizeh, was displayed in a ceremony attended by Defense Minister Amir Hatami.
According to Hatami, the missile was produced with local capabilities.
The missile was successfully tested with Iranian officials saying it has ability to fly on a low height and hit its target accurately.
Iran has developed a large domestic arms industry in the face of international sanctions and embargoes that have barred it from importing many weapons. Last month, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi was quoted as saying: "Iran's home-grown defensive missile program is the Iranian nation's natural right".
A US-Iranian war of words has escalated since US President Donald Trump took Washington out of a world powers' nuclear deal with Iran in May, and reimposed sanctions on its banking and energy sectors.
Iran has warned that if it cannot sell its oil due to US pressure, then no other regional country will be allowed to do so either, threatening to block the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf. The Guards' naval arm lacks a strong conventional fleet. However, it has many speed boats and portable anti-ship missile launchers, and can lay mines.

European nations create workaround to US Iran sanctions
January 31, 2019
BERLIN (AP) — Three European countries that have been working to preserve a deal limiting Iran's nuclear capability have established a new system so their companies can continue trading with the Mideast nation without incurring U.S. sanctions, diplomats said Thursday.
The barter-type system set up by France, Germany and Britain is designed to allow businesses to skirt direct financial transactions with Iran and thereby evade possible U.S. sanctions, setting up a potential collision with President Donald Trump's hard-line policies on Tehran.
Once the process is up and running, a financial institution, known as an "Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges" or INSTEX, would run a payment channel, brokering Iranian imports in and European exports out, while insulating the companies involved.
In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of Germany, Britain and France sought to allay Washington's possible fears. "INSTEX will function under the highest international standards with regards to anti-money laundering, combating the financing of terrorism and EU and U.N. sanctions compliance," their statement said.
The three nations have been working on the plan for months. It follows Trump's decision last year to unilaterally withdraw from the international accord aimed at preventing Tehran from developing nuclear weapons in exchange for economic incentives. His administration also introduced new sanctions on Iran.
The other parties to the 2015 agreement — France, Britain, Germany, Russia and China — have been scrambling to keep the deal alive. In recent months, Iranian officials threatened to resume enriching uranium to higher purities than allowed under the deal, putting pressure on the Europeans to find a way around the sanctions.
"This is a clear, practical demonstration that we remain firmly committed to the historic 2015 nuclear deal struck with Iran… for as long as Iran keeps implementing it fully," British Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt said..
The ministers emphasized that their payment channel is "aimed at facilitating legitimate trade between European economic operators and Iran." "We're making clear that we didn't just talk about keeping the nuclear deal with Iran alive, but now we're creating a possibility to conduct business transactions," German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas told reporters Thursday after a meeting with European counterparts in Bucharest, Romania.
"This is a precondition for us to meet the obligations we entered into in order to demand from Iran that it doesn't begin military uranium enrichment," Maas said. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif welcomed the establishment of INSTEX, saying in a tweet it was a "long overdue 1st step" to save the nuclear deal.
"We remain ready for constructive engagement with Europe and on equal footing & with mutual respect," Zarif wrote. The European Union's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, who helped negotiate the 2015 accord with Tehran, said the new system would be "essential for the continued full implementation of the nuclear deal with Iran."
The U.S. State Department said it was "closely following" reports on the European mechanism, which originally was known as a "special purpose vehicle," for details about exactly what would be involved.
"As the president has made clear, entities that continue to engage in sanctionable activity involving Iran risk severe consequences that could include losing access to the U.S. financial system and the ability to do business with the United States or U.S. companies," the State Department said in a statement.
INSTEX is to be headquartered in Paris and overseen by a German banker. The three foreign ministers said a parallel structure would have to be set up in Iran and other work needs to be done to "address all the technical and legal aspects required to make this vehicle operational."
At the outset, the European institution will concentrate on products that are not currently subject to U.S. sanctions, such as medicine, medical supplies, and agricultural goods. Many of Europe's biggest companies shut off all commerce with Iran when the U.S. stepped up sanctions, exercising an abundance of caution. The governments of Germany, France and Britain hope the workaround will lure back some trade of non-sanctioned goods, though it's not clear if companies would try to do business through the new state-run system and risk possible U.S. retribution down the road.
Stefan Mair, a board member of the influential Federation of German Industries, welcomed the establishment of the financial institution, but expressed skepticism about how effective it might be. "Central questions remain open," he said. "The clearinghouse is dependent on Iran's sanctioned oil and gas business. This continues to pose a significant risk to building long-term business relations."
Though established by Britain, Germany and France, other European Union nations were expected to join as well. Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said the EU wanted to continue to support the nuclear deal.
"The most important thing is to show our American colleagues that we are moving in the same direction on a whole series of issues, such as ballistic missiles or Iran's regional influence, but that we do have a difference of opinion on the nuclear agreement," Reynders said. "I hope we can also find a solution."
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Iran's state television he expected the mechanism to be ready to start brokering business in one or two months. "The next issue is how European companies are willing to join SPV with this mechanism," he said.
Iran's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Hamid Baeidinejad, said on Twitter he also thinks the start of the program was imminent.

Khomeini launched a revolution from a sleepy French village
February 01, 2019
NEAUPHLE-LE-CHATEAU, France (AP) — From a sleepy village outside Paris, the man who would become the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran sat cross-legged beneath an apple tree, delivering messages daily to hundreds of followers clamoring to glimpse the glowering cleric in the black turban.
For several months in late 1978 and early 1979, the humble site became a megaphone for the pronouncements of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini that were sent back home to Iranians seeking to overturn 2,500 years of monarchical rule.
Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi had expelled Khomeini from Iran in 1964, and he spent most of his time in Najaf, Iraq, a pilgrimage city for Iranians and other Shiite Muslims. But Iraq, reportedly under pressure from the shah, forced the cleric to flee to France in 1978.
Khomeini's entourage in Neauphle-Le-Chateau had only the simplest of tools in those pre-internet days. With telephones and cassette tape recorders, they turned the exiled cleric's cottage and garden into a media hub.
"The fate of the Iranian revolution depended on what came out of Mr. Khomeini's mouth," said Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, who was among the ayatollah's closest aides and later became the first president of the new Iran.
Bani-Sadr was a student in Paris with family ties to Khomeini when he was contacted by the cleric's son seeking help in arranging a French exile. Khomeini arrived at Paris' Orly airport on Oct. 6, 1978, spent a few days in the southern suburb of Cachan, where Bani-Sadr then lived, before relocating to Neauphle-le-Chateau, 25 miles west of Paris.
Today, a large plaque honoring Khomeini's four months in the village stands at the entrance to the unkempt garden that along with the cottage served as his operational headquarters before his triumphal return to Iran on Feb. 1, 1979 .
The house where his team worked has been razed. But the apple tree, spindly and leafless, still stands, adorned with a plastic Iranian flag and surrounded by a red-and-white chain. This week, workers were setting up a tent for an Iranian Embassy ceremony on Sunday to commemorate the brief but critical period in Khomeini's life.
Bani-Sadr, in an interview with The Associated Press, said it was far from certain for Khomeini that a revolution was at hand. "For me, it was absolutely sure, but not for Khomeini and not for lots of others inside Iran," Ban-Sadr said.
He added that Khomeini's son, Ahmed, who was in France with his father and other family members, asked him almost daily, "Are you sure the shah will go and the regime will be toppled?" Khomeini's inner circle included Bani-Sadr, Sadegh Ghotbzadeh, Ibramhim Yazdi and three mullahs. Each was in charge of a task, including dealing with the media whose coverage boosted Khomeini's profile.
Bani-Sadr said he and a group of friends fashioned or vetted the messages Khomeini delivered — based on what they were told Iranians wanted to hear. Tape recordings of his statements were sold in Europe and delivered to Iran. Other messages went out by telephone, read to supporters in various Iranian towns, where they were disseminated.
The activity in Neauphle-le-Chateau put the French government in a bind. Khomeini had entered France like all Iranians at the time, on a passport allowing for a three-month stay. But his activism was increasingly distressing to France, which like other Western countries, was a firm ally of the Iranian monarchy.
Then-President Valery Giscard d'Estaing sent a diplomat to Neauphle-le-Chateau and later an emissary to Tehran to meet with the shah. The French offered to expel Khomeini, but the shah said no, apparently not wanting the cleric to end up anywhere near Iran. The French emissary concluded that the shah's days on the throne were numbered anyway, according to diplomats and press reports.
Jean-Claude Cousseran, the first secretary at the French Embassy in Tehran at the time, denied that France was opportunistically playing both sides or was in the dark about the weight Khomeini carried within Iran.
"There was no ignorance. Everyone knew who Khomeini was, starting with the Americans, starting with the shah," he said. But diplomats kept asking "what will happen next week. … It's not easy to predict a revolution."
Added Francois Nicoullaud, ambassador to Iran from 2000 to 2005: "From the start, there was no Machiavellian plan." Cousseran pointed out Khomeini had full telephone access to Iran. "That means Iran never forbade calls between Khomeini and his friends," a tactic that would have shut down a lot of the cleric's media operation.
Scores of grateful Iranians brought flowers to the French Embassy, but with what Cousseran viewed as a subtle message that "you will protect him." The Tehran street where the embassy sits was renamed Neauphle-le-Chateau.
The shah, who was secretly ill with cancer, flew out of Iran on Jan. 16, 1979, on an aircraft that he himself piloted. That paved the way for Khomeini's return weeks later. There are conflicting reports as to whether Khomeini's entourage chartered the Air France Boeing 747 that brought him home, or whether, as a French diplomat at the time said in a documentary, that France decided "to take a risk" and arrange for the plane.
Either way, supporters and journalists scrambled to get on the flight, paying the airfare for a coveted seat. "We always said it was the journalists who paid the return voyage of the ayatollah," said Associated Press photographer Michel Lipchitz, who was on the flight.
During the flight, Khomeini was out of sight, keeping to the upper deck lounge of the jumbo jet and praying, Lipchitz said. Khomeini arrived to a hero's welcome in Tehran on Feb. 1. "It was a moment worth 1,000 years of life," Bani-Sadr said. "Extraordinary. Extraordinary."
The plaque in the garden of Neauphle-le-Chateau, inscribed in French and Farsi, says the village name "is forever registered in the history of French-Iranian relations." But the Iran's Islamist government quickly toughened, and France soon was vilified as "the little Satan" when it began taking in members of the Iranian opposition, said Nicoullaud, the former ambassador. Among those exiles were members of the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, a politically active opposition group that is active to this day and still despised by Iran.
Bani-Sadr, who had become president in Iran, fell from favor. He said he protested to Khomeini the many executions that were carried out, and fled to Paris in July 1981 in an air force plane piloted by a dissident with the then-head of Mujahedeen, Massoud Rajavi.
Now, Bani-Sadr feels betrayed by Khomeini, saying that the cleric "changed in Iran. He restored a dictatorship." Of the inner circle in Neauphle-le-Chateau, Bani-Sadr is the only survivor. Ghotbzadeh was executed and Yazdi died in exile in Turkey.
Still, Bani-Sadr is hopeful. "A revolution is the beginning, not the end," he said.

Yesterday I continued on with the work I discovered I need to do on the Land Rover the other day. Namely to remove the front axle so I can get easily to all sides of the hub assemblies and the diff because they seem to have managed to fill with water and grit.
These are issues that would get fixed with normal maintenance on any car but from the previous use I was told about. There would have been between practically none and actually none.
I'm tossing up while I have everything apart getting some proper chassis paint and cleaning everything with a wire wheel and painting it properly.
Serious disassembly has now started

In the decades after the Fungal Wars, we often wondered why. Why the alien Fungoids had chosen to attack when they had, why we as a species had been so ruthlessly enslaved, why we seemed to have been singled out for special mistreatment.
It was only after nearly a century that we realized the race of evolved fungi had found our ideas of mushroom nudity very unsettling when they spied a toadstool in the painting by Vermeer that we had sent into the stars attached to a space probe.

I love this wondrous universe.
Earth may display its seas on its surface for all the Universe to see, but further out in the Solar System liquid oceans are kept discreetly under wraps, hidden beneath cratered surfaces of ice and rock. And while Saturn's moon Enceladus sprays its salty subsurface ocean out into space, other moons are less ostentatious — Europa, Ganymede, Titan… all are thought to have considerable underground oceans of liquid water, based on measurements of their mass, density, and shape.
Now, scientists are suggesting that Saturn's 700-mile-wide moon Dione may also have a subsurface ocean… and may have even once exhibited icy geysers like its smaller sibling Enceladus.

Ready to hit the arcade down at the mall?
Don't forget your Atomic Pineapple Pizza Cleanse by Echo Beach!
Check out how this Toronto artist starts us off with "Rockstar Motorcade"!
Now, how doesn't that get you going?
Another favorite has to be "Green Flash and High Tide" which features sampling from the '80s hit "Promises, Promises" by Naked Eyes.
In fact, the entire track is likely just a stretched-out set up for it!
Right after that, "Nightcrawler" seems to sample The B-52's "Private Idaho". But "Fashionably Late" ended up being one of our other favorite tracks.
As of this writing, the cassettes are still available which include two extra tracks, but likely, this post is going to get them all bought up!

I watched some of the Mercer Island homecoming parade. It turns out that part way through, there was a man who tried to interfere with my taking photos and then he escalated his confrontation and his behavior against me by hitting my hand twice , just after I turned the camera to also take his photo. I assume he was attempting to knock the camera out of my hands or deflect the view of the camera away from him.
He did not like the idea of being photographed, apparently! He did manage to help me miss at least one interesting photo and I feel bad about that!
Just after he did so, I saw and called over to us MIPD support officer Anna and asked that she take my complaint for a charge of assault against the man, but she delayed any action. I said that the man had hit me twice and I said this to Anna, and the man denied it. I do not know if the man just lies easily, or, if he felt to slapping or hitting my hand was not of the same category as hitting me, per se.
I could be wrong, but it seems to me that since I desired to make a complaint of assault against the man, that Anna or another officer should have taken the complaint at the earliest possible reasonable time.
It is somewhat possible that the man is an employee of the school district in some way, given that he seemed to be associated with about 6 kids of school age.
After the confrontation with the man was over, one of the boys then said hi and took my photo by surprise, but that is ok . . . though if I were to have photos taken, I would dress up in a bow tie or other interesting items.
Perhaps I will wear a bow tie for some of my other visits to some events such as these parades.
So, wow, there I was walking out in public without weapons and I get slapped on the hand, twice . . . Presumably Anna is happier that way with me without weapons but we do not know.
I don't know a lot of how God views things, but I think there are some things that God supports such as religious liberty and the American system and I think God liked certain court decisions. In the case of photos of the young ladies at some parades or the fair, does God have a position? I would guess that God supports freedom, but I don't know.
However, for a guy who is attempting to interfere with my taking some photos, is he "fighting" on the wrong side, and therefore, doomed to fail? I don't know!
A short time after the shooting death of Charleena Lyles in Seattle, I was walking at the Greenwood car show and browsing. I was wearing a short folding knife on a lanyard on neck and so my knife-wearing was a form of open carry.
At one point there was a SPD officer who was doing some show of some vehicle, as part of the car show, that people could get into and I wandered over and chatted with him about the death of Charleena Lyles. I think he looked at the knife on the lanyard 4 or 5 times! He looked at it several times and I wondered later if I should have taken it off while talking to him so that he was not uncomfortable! Of course, we were at the moment discussing a shooting death of a woman who had threatened two police officers with a knife and there are random evil-doers who have random evil intentions to police for being police.
I assume though, that for a guy who is slapping my hand while I have my camera at him, that drawing pepper spray is part of a reasonable response.
In any case, here are the photos of the event!

If you own a business, then you know how important it is for customers to see advertisements for new products and sales. A gorgeous display made of brilliant lights will direct customers to areas of the store that have the products you want them to buy. The displays come in the form of a sign that can be displayed on a wall, counter or shelf. There are different sizes available, making it easy to find something that will work for your store. Display solutions seen here have pictures that change, so you don't have to keep buying signs that to put on the doors or in plastic holders.
Another option for displays is as a project for work. You can create a display that has all of the information you want to get across in a meeting. This could be sales information for the last quarter or new products that the company will sell. The displays can also be seen in game devices. Video slot machines and poker machines often use this type of display because of the brilliance of the light involved. The lights often last longer, which means the company wont have to spend as much money replacing bulbs as it would on older machines.

Friends, Politically Correct Partisans, Lend Me your Ears! I come to bury Nathan Bedford Forrest, not to praise him (sort of).
Enough of the bad Shakespeare imitation. I normally do not mix current political discussions with history, but it seems we cannot talk about the events of over 150 years ago without inevitably being dragged into debates about the present.
The current mess began with the brutal and senseless murder of nine black church members in Charleston, South Carolina and ensuing controversy regarding the Confederate flag—or more properly, the Confederate battle standard. While I personally feel that it is improper to wave that symbol of rebellion over any state building or government grounds other than historic sites, and that its removal from the South Carolina state capitol was long overdue, the subsequent politically correct jihad against the Rebel flag and banning it from all public venues—including the Dukes of Hazard car and Walmart—not only borders on the hysterical, but entirely misses the point. And since then, the PC frenzy has morphed into vigilantism and vandalism, not only towards historic statues of Confederate leaders, but has expanded to war memorials to American dead and the vandalizing of graves on private property.
Racism and rampant gun violence are the real problems, not the Confederate battle standard, which was not even the national flag of the Confederacy. Banning the Rebel flag does nothing to fight racism, still less to control the ability of mentally unstable persons and criminals to have unfettered access to high-powered automatic and semi-automatic weapons. The American public has, in my view, been hoodwinked by a neat little bait and switch ploy on the part of politicians unwilling to deal with the real issues.
To be sure, the Rebel battle standard has been used by hate groups as a symbol in the past and still is, but then so too has the Christian cross; so are we also going to ban the use of the cross in any public display? Some Jews may regard the Crescent and Star as a hate symbol; some Arabs may likewise view the Star of David in a similar vein; but neither is inherently a symbol of hatred or bigotry. While I wouldn't feel comfortable displaying the Confederate battle flag on my person or property, I recognize that there are many folks who may display it as a symbol of either regional pride, Southern heritage or just plain as a symbol that they're a redneck good ol' boy who likes to drink Jack Daniels and go yee-haw! at music concerts.
The same symbol can mean different things to different people, especially so the Rebel flag. By all means let us deal with racism; and there are many, many things that can be done to regulate and control guns while still respecting the letter and spirit of the Second Amendment that would save many lives, all without adversely affecting responsible hunters, sportsmen and collectors.
Also caught up in this growing tidal wave of political correctness (really the shuck and jive avoidance of dealing with the real issues) is the issue of Nathan Bedford Forrest, or more precisely, his likeness in the Tennessee State Capital and in Memphis. Swept up in their fervor for erasing history, local Democrat and Republican politicians and various pundits among the general public have called for its removal from the august halls of the state capitol. In Memphis, arguably the poorest city IN THE COUNTRY, demagogues have inflamed public opinion with misinformation and half-truths and are diverting hundreds of thousands of taxpayer money to pursue illegal actions–money sorely needed for education and fighting poverty and drug use.
Please note: no one is calling for the repeal of the drunks-with-guns-in-bars law the state legislators passed, or the guns in playgrounds law, or the take your gun to work law, much less rolling back the patently discriminatory voter ID laws Tennessee and other states have passed to make it as difficult as possible to vote. Nope: just remove the Nathan Bedford Forrest bust from Capitol Hill and illegally remove a historic monument in a public park and vandalize Forrest's grave.
In truth, General Forrest has always been something of a controversial figure, even during his lifetime. He never quite made it into the pantheon of the Lost Cause; he was not a Virginia Swan, he did not graduate from West Point and, while Forrest was an officer, he was sometimes less than a gentleman. It is true that before the Civil War he had been a slave trader, an odious occupation even in the South–and one which his wife had strong objections to.
Starting as a common soldier, his native genius for war led to his rapid promotion; in battle after battle, he was "fustest with the mostest" (as he is often misquoted as saying) defeating the Yankees on numerous occasions. His record of success in battle speaks for itself; as a great captain of war, he is due recognition on that count alone.
One incident which seems to belie the claim that Forrest was a virulent racist was towards the beginning of the war, when he made an interesting offer to the Blacks in his service:
"When I entered the army I took 47 negroes into the army with me, and 45 of them were surrendered with me. I said to them at the start: 'This fight is against slavery; if we lose it, you will be made free; if we whip the fight, and you stay with me and be good boys, I will set you free. In either case you will be free. Those boys stayed with me, drove my teams, and better confederates did not live.'" (statement before the 40th US Congress, 3rd Session)
His war career did have one black mark, however; at Fort Pillow he was accused of conducting a massacre of Black Union soldiers. That a massacre of surrendering soldiers did occur there is generally accepted by historians; how many were shot after surrendering versus armed soldiers fleeing to the river and the safety of Union gunboats, however, remains hotly disputed. Forrest always denied giving any explicit orders in regard shooting unarmed prisoners and maintained that the Union prisoners, black and white, were treated humanely. After the war he testified before Congress on that score and pointed out that the terms of surrender he offered the Union garrison at Fort Pillow was more generous than Grant's terms to Lee at Appomattox.
At the end of the war, in his farewell address to his troops Forrest told them:
"I have never, on the field of battle, sent you where I was unwilling to go myself; nor would I now advise you to a course which I felt myself unwilling to pursue. You have been good soldiers, you can be good citizens. Obey the laws, preserve your honor, and the Government to which you have surrendered can afford to be, and will be, magnanimous."
In the chaos of the postwar era, the Ku Klux Klan came into being. Begun in Pulaski, Tennessee, initially as a fraternal group by half a dozen bored Confederate veterans, it soon morphed into a vigilante organization and, after a time, General Forrest was asked to head the "secret empire." Before Congress Forrest denied membership, however he was being disengenous in that regard. Nonetheless, as acts of violence and vigilantism attributed to Klan members grew, Forrest became disturbed at the way the organization was developing. In 1869, he publicly called for the Klan's disbandment because of its use of violence.
Today, General Forrest has become a symbol of racism and violence divorced from the historical record; the facts regarding his life and times seem to matter little to those who use him as a symbol of our current national problems. The historical reality, however, was far more nuanced. If he did possess strong racial feelings before or during the war–and that is far from certain–it is clear that in the postwar era he underwent a sincere change of heart. At one point he was credited with single-handedly preventing a white race riot. Then, in 1875, he was asked to speak before a meeting of Black Southerners seeking racial reconciliation and agreed. His said, in part, this:
"We were born on the same soil, breathe the same air, and live in the same land. Why, then, can we not live as brothers? I will say that when the war broke out I felt it my duty to stand by my people. When the time came I did the best I could, and I don't believe I flickered. I came here with the jeers of some white people, who think that I am doing wrong. I believe that I can exert some influence, and do much to assist the people in strengthening fraternal relations, and shall do all in my power to bring about peace. It has always been my motto to elevate every man- to depress none. I want to elevate you to take positions in law offices, in stores, on farms, and wherever you are capable of going."
This doesn't much sound like the rantings of a rabid racist, does it? There is another bust of another former Confederate soldier in the state legislature as well, maybe they should remove his statue as well: Sampson Keeble, placed there in 2010. By the way, Keeble was born a slave and in 1873 became the first Black elected to the Tennessee state legislature.
Oh, yes, and then there is the little matter of Andrew Jackson and the Cherokee Indians' Trail of Tears. His equestrian statue is very prominent on Capitol Hill in downtown Nashville; how about removing him too while we're at it?
Nathan Bedford Forrest was certainly no saint: he was quick to anger and ferocious in the heat of battle; he may have been guilty of committing wrongs during the war. But Forrest was also a man capable of growth and change and, all in all, a better man than those who would turn him into an icon of hate and bigotry give him credit.
There are many more things one could say pro and con regarding N.B, but this essay has already rambled on too long. Let me inflict a little more Shakespeare on you in closing:
"The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones."

EV-100 Autopilot - rtsplace - 07-11-16 03:03 PM
Hello, Had a chance to use to autopilot last weekend salmon fishing on lake Michigan. Best investment ever for my boat, freed me up to change lures, net fish or just walk around a little bit (only an 18'5" boat). Made managing/setting up a 10 rod spread a lot easier, 4 down-riggers and 2 planner boards off a planner mast. Great product, easy install after I quit over analyzing things. Would recommend to anyone!
Thank you Raymarine and Chuck for the Q and A .............Ray
RE: EV-100 Autopilot - scoffer - 07-26-16 02:18 PM
That is awesome to hear, as that is the exact reason I purchased my EV-100 system. How does it handle at trolling speeds? I am still in the process of getting mine commissioned and looking forward to seeing how it does.
RE: EV-100 Autopilot - rtsplace - 08-08-16 12:20 PM
Hi Bill/Scoffer, Trolling speed works great keeps course at 1.5 and 2 mph.
Thanks Ray
RE: EV-100 Autopilot - scoffer - 08-10-16 01:08 PM
I got mine up and running, but I'm having engine issues now, so I'm still not out trolling. It seems to do a pretty good job holding course at low speed, but I had to kick the response level up to Performance.
What setting are you running yours at?
RE: EV-100 Autopilot - Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator - 08-10-16 01:37 PM
The Response Level of the Evolution Autopilot onboard my own boat has been set to the Performance setting ... which will yield the greatest performance when trolling.
RE: EV-100 Autopilot - scoffer - 08-10-16 01:47 PM
OK, seemed like the best bet, when it was on Cruising, it just seemed to drift off course too far before correcting, and then it was constantly over correcting.
Will the Performance setting over work the pump or ACU unit, or shorten the system's overall lifespan compared to using the leisure or cruising settings?
RE: EV-100 Autopilot - Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator - 08-10-16 03:10 PM
As suggested, the system will work less hard when using the Leisure or Cruising settings, particularly when trolling. While it stands to reason that a system which is worked more (such as when operating the boat a very slow speed with the Response Level configured to Performance ) than a system which is worked less (such as operating the boat at planing speed with the Response Level configured to Performance), Raymarine has not specified expected product life for its pumps and ACU given specific or general operating conditions.

These simple zucchini fritters are from an Edible Mosaic cookbook.
Every few months for one night, I get in bed and absolutely, positively, cannot for the life of me, fall asleep. I guess some call that insomnia.
I toss and turn, watch the clock get later and later while doing mental math of how many less minutes/hours of sleep I'll be getting if I fall asleep that very minute and proceed to stress myself out even more as the result of that equation dwindles. My mind races with tomorrow's to-do list, the stuff that isn't written down anywhere that still needs to get done (and which I'll probably therefore end up forgetting) and as the case with this last bout the other night, zucchini fritters.
I lost sleep over zucchini fritters.
This is my life.
Well, that and how in the heck I'm going to accomplish that strict pull-up goal I so boldly put in writing right before attempting to fall asleep. And/or upping my strict press PR by 7 pounds when just 2 seems like a herculean effort.
Important stuff, clearly.
So, I'm participating in this virtual dinner party hosted by Brandy to celebrate the début of Faith's cookbook that a few of us have received advanced copies of and these zucchini fritters are the chosen appetizer (you'll get to see an entrée and a dessert coming up in the next 2 weeks too).
You wondering why the heck that would cause sleep loss? Yeah, me too now that I'm fully rested and realize the ridiculousness of it all.
But in my sleep deprived 1am state, the ingredient list haunted me.
You see that picture up there? Minus the oil for frying, that's pretty much all the recipe calls for. No spices, no additional flavoring, nada. And truth is, I was skeptical.
Faith, I'm sorry.
Never judge a book by it's cover, never judge a recipe by it's ingredient list (I know I sure as heck get pissed when people rank my recipes using that little star thingy 5 minutes after it's posted knowing full well they haven't made it yet).
I ate them in all their deliciously eggy-zucchini glory for lunch by myself. They're like part pancake, part hash brown, part frittata. Definitely different than your typical fritter, but a surprisingly fun texture and taste.
I halved the recipe and used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose only because in the horn-toothed beetle infestation of 2012, I forgot I threw out all my regular flour. I also made a kick-ass (if I do say so myself) tahini-yogurt sauce to go with these that I highly recommend. Basically, greek yogurt, lemon juice, tahini, evoo, s&p, parsley, cumin…mix. There will most likely be leftovers of that which is equally delicious mixed into chicken salad the next day in place of mayo, fyi.
I'd like those 3 hours of lost sleep back now.

Alan Brown
Alan Brown grew up in the Midwest, U.S. during the civil rights movement of the 50s and 60s. Like most Americans, he was sickened by the actions of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups. The images of crosses burning, lynchings and other brutalities left a constant reminder of the depravity that a small group of people could inflict on one another.
His life experiences are expressed in his writing. It's a form of therapy, a way to remind himself that writing is a way to celebrate life and to reflect on both the best and the worst of human behavior.
Alan Brown lives with his wife, Nancy and has six children; Aly, Connor, Maya, Kira, Justin and Brian. He has five grandchildren. He started writing at the age of 61.
"I love to write psychological thrillers and crime fiction. My books explore the dark side of human behavior. They take readers on a journey through the darkest caverns of a psychopath's mind. I enjoy hopeful endings to dark stories and my books reflect that."
