On July 5 The New York Times had two articles datelined Clear Lake, Iowa, noting that Michele Bachmann and Newt Gingrich had marched in the Fourth of July parade. I was there and saw both of them. Ms. Bachmann wore heels. How impractical, I thought, for walking in a parade.
Clear Lake is a town of just over 8,000 in north central Iowa on I-35. On the Fourth of July the crowd was estimated at 40,000. The parade has always been an attraction for those running for office. The summer before the 2008 caucuses Hillary and Bill were in the parade, as was Mitt Romney. Not together, of course.
My family summered in Clear Lake, driving up from Webster Groves, Mo. We stayed in a cottage on the south shore that my dad bought in 1939. My mother gave it a Sioux name, Tipi Koda (House of Friends), and furnished it with a Native American theme. My siblings and I reluctantly sold the property in 1999, but I have continued to return to Clear Lake.
In order to see the parade up front and center, I got up at 4:30 a.m. to stake a place along Main Street. Carrying folding chairs, I saw that most of the spots along Main Street had already been taken by blankets and chairs that had been set up after Rookies, a bar, had closed.
I was staying with a childhood friend, Richard, in his house two blocks from City Park. I knew the house as a child when his grandparents lived there. Richard and I met 70 years ago, in the summer of 1941, just before we entered second grade. Later, I was best man at his wedding and he was best man at mine. He's now a widower, I was divorced more than 30 years ago, and the two of us rattle around in his house of modified Prairie design, stucco with large overhanging eaves. (Frank Lloyd Wright designed houses and a hotel in nearby Mason City, which is also River City of "The Music Man.")
Summers, growing up, Richard and I were part of what we called "the gang." We were three boys and three girls who swam and played along the south shore, dating others independently when we were teenagers. There was roller-skating at Bayside, the amusement park, and dancing at the Surf. That's the Surf where Buddy Holly played on Feb. 2, 1959, just before he was killed in a plane crash north of town. The annual Winter Party commemorates Buddy Holly and the Crickets each February, when Clear Lake, as on the Fourth, swells to thousands.
Richard practically never left. He taught for a few years in Blue Earth, Minn., and Sioux City, Iowa, but mostly he's been in Clear Lake. His life is as bounded as the streets or, for that matter, the lake. Life is predictable. I join that order, or re-enter it, when I visit, detached from most everything else. The sky is expansive, the air sweet. I breathe it in as I walk the tree-lined sidewalks into town.
Clear Lake falls back into place after the Fourth. The next morning I walked with Richard for coffee at the deli. A group of about six men and six women meet there every morning at 8. The men sit at one table, the women at another. Talk is town gossip — never malicious, that I've heard, but of the kind that derives from the same root as "gospel," gossip meaning good talk. It is good, too — about folks in town who might be ill, the weather, the crops, with droll humor as in a play. "That's a nice lookin' Hawaiian shirt ya got there," to one man, to which he said, "So expensive I couldn't take the trip to Hawaii."
After coffee, I headed back down to the lake and sat on a bench looking out at the water. The lake is 15 miles in circumference. Summers during college, I sailed a boat for guests at the Lake Shore Hotel. The hotel, which was torn down in 1964, was a rambling building of three floors, one bathroom per floor, with rates ranging from $1.25 to $4.50. In the summer of 1941 the Iowa artist Grant Wood lived in town and took some of his meals at the hotel. The Whisters held their annual convention there, old men and women playing the card game. It was serious business, so serious that at their request we covered the mirrors in the dining room where they met to make sure no one cheated.
Occasionally at night some of the other college boys and girls and I would sail the Lake Shore Hotel boat to the head of the lake near Lone Tree Point. We would beach the boat on the sand, spread our blankets, and break out the six-packs. We did not get drunk but just talked, about life ahead of us, who was dating whom, college. There seemed to be no cares and little pressure. We got into college without difficulty; we would get jobs without difficulty. Life was open and promising.
Of course all that is gone, including our family cottage. Lakeside property is too dear to keep as a summer residence alone. Most cottages have been replaced by very large houses on narrow lots, the height of the houses making up for the lack of breadth. It's endemic to the country.
On a quiet weekday, Richard and I joined our friend Sally from the old gang and slid into a booth where we could look out over the lake and enjoy our hamburgers and fries. Drinks of water or iced tea. Lunch for about $8. Yes, we reminisced, but also talked about ourselves at present and, considering where we are in life, penultimate concerns: living on modest retirement incomes that have been flat for three years, matters of health. Meanwhile the lake, where once the Winnebago camped, remains perennial for us — the boundary of it, as well as its beauty and enchantment.
The geography is different there, the history, the air. The wind brushes your face differently. As Sally said of Clear Lake and Mason City, no one would think to ask, Do you go to church? The question would be, Which church do you go to?
Another day and I flew to New York, landing at La Guardia. I took a shuttle bus to Manhattan and then a Jitney to East Hampton. Oh, the glamour and the clamor! Each time I return to Clear Lake I am momentarily startled when someone I am passing on the sidewalk makes eye contact and says good morning or good afternoon. Back on Main Street in East Hampton I am again guarded.
I have never figured out quite where home is. It is here, of course, in the literal sense, with friends and my son, Tom, and his partner, Brian. But I was born in Minneapolis, and there is that axis from the Twin Cities to St. Louis right through Iowa. I am on that axis. I could kid my friend by saying, "Hey, Richard, marriage is legal now in both Iowa and New York. Where shall we be married?" But I don't say that. The question would further reveal the ambivalence of home.
Richard has his family plot in Clear Lake Cemetery. My family plot is there, too. "I hope you're buried here," he said, "then we can wave at each other." I guess that would settle things.

G4851, New May 1996
Atrazine is used on about 65 percent of all corn acreage and 69 percent of all grain sorghum acreage in the United States, and Missouri mirrors this level of use. It is estimated that the loss of atrazine would result in an annual cost of about $1 billion to U.S. farmers. This loss would come from reduced yields (up to 8 percent) and more expensive replacement products for weed control. With current products, the cost to replace atrazine would range from $12 to $18 per acre. This does not include the cost of additional soil erosion where tillage will be used to replace atrazine.
Atrazine provides residual broad-spectrum weed control and can be used with both conventional and conservation tillage. Atrazine also has a higher margin of crop safety than many of its possible replacements.
Public concern over the widespread use of atrazine centers on its detection in both surface and groundwater. Drinking water supplies in nine watersheds in northern Missouri contain atrazine levels higher than 3 parts per billion, the maximum contaminant level mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Thus, the future of atrazine in these areas is uncertain, and more restrictions may be required to bring the water supplies back into compliance. This publication provides guidelines for:
The alternative products are listed to provide growers with weed control tools if they either decide voluntarily not to use atrazine or are required to use other products because of additional restrictions by regulatory agencies.
Although atrazine contamination of the groundwater is a serious issue, it appears to be a localized problem that develops as a result of the interaction of several site-specific conditions. Atrazine in surface runoff is of more widespread concern. The unpredictable nature of runoff and the seasonal peak concentration of atrazine in streams and rivers draining agricultural areas imply the need to minimize loss at the source.
Herbicide loss in runoff depends on the intensity and duration of the rainfall, the time between herbicide application and the rain, the concentration of the herbicide in the upper half inch of soil, properties of the herbicide, tillage practice, soil type and the slope of the treated fields. Most studies show that runoff losses are less than 5 percent of the amount applied and that the greatest losses (up to 7 percent) occur when intense rainfall follows immediately after application.
Best management practices that encourage infiltration of surface water into the soil will be most effective in reducing atrazine losses in runoff. Research shows that light incorporation, or tillage, increases infiltration and can reduce offsite movement of atrazine. This is because atrazine moves primarily through solution in runoff water (the water phase) rather than attachment to soil particles (the sediment phase). Incorporation of herbicides by working them into the soil can decrease the amount of active ingredient in runoff; however, soil erosion losses will be greater on erodible lands and the net effect on the environment could be worse than herbicide runoff.
In no-till fields, we recommend the following:
On conventionally tilled acres, incorporation of atrazine and atrazine tank- and pre-mixes can reduce the amount of herbicide that leaves the field.
The best way to minimize surface and groundwater contamination is to follow label directions exactly
If you do not follow these directions, your treatment may not be effective, you increase the chance of contaminating water and you may be violating the law. Proper timing and placement of all pesticides are important.
Improper disposal of empty containers, rinse water or unused chemicals can cause localized groundwater problems.
Buffer zones provide a measure of protection against runoff and spills of agricultural chemicals during mixing and application.
To prevent back siphoning, keep the end of the fill hose above the water level in the spray tank at all times
Use an anti-backflow device when drawing mix water from a well or pond. These anti-backflow devices can be purchased from irrigation or sprayer equipment suppliers.
The total amount of atrazine applied to a field may not exceed 2.5 pounds of active ingredient (pound a.i.) per acre per year. This restriction includes all atrazine applied both before and after crops emerge.
Broadcast spray application rates for atrazine before crops emerge depend on the amount of plant residue covering your field at planting and on the erodibility of your soil as defined by NRCS.
When appropriate, make postemergence applications of herbicides in narrow bands directly over the rows rather than cover the entire space between rows. In addition, consider delaying a herbicide application if heavy rains are forecast for the next few days. Research has shown that heavy rains shortly after application can cause significant loss of the herbicide in runoff. Follow these application guidelines:
Table 1
Weed response to burndown herbicides
Table 2
Cover crop and sod response to burndown herbicides
Table 3
Broadleaf weed response to preemergence herbicides
Table 4
Broadleaf response to postemergence herbicides (table is split into two parts)
There are several chemical alternatives to atrazine or other triazines. Tables 1 to 4 list the current alternative treatments and their approximate cost per acre. The tables show specific alternatives to atrazine; these are not intended as alternatives to a total weed control program.
For postemergence weed control in fields with conventional or reduced tillage, 2,4-D is an extremely competitive product in terms of price per acre, but be cautious of drift to nontarget vegetation (Table 4) especially with ester formulations. Mixtures of 2,4-D and Banvel have been extremely consistent in field corn over the years (Figure 1) and competitive on a per acre basis (Table 4). Proper herbicide combinations can increase your chances of successful weed control. Figure 2, based on results from a Pesticide Impact Assessment Study published by the University of Illinois, outlines the success rates of various tank mixes. Mixing atrazine with Buctril or Banvel is likely to yield better weed control than use of either of those products alone. Excellent results have also been obtained when atrazine is combined with 2,4-D.
Figure 1
Control of broadleaf weeds with Banvel and 2,4-D.
Figure 2
Control of broadleaf weeds with and without atrazine.
If you eliminate tillage before planting, you must control undesirable vegetation with herbicides at or before planting. Eliminating or reducing tillage puts a greater reliance on chemical weed control. Greater emphasis may be placed on pre-plant or post-plant soil-applied herbicides that are not incorporated into the soil or on foliar-applied herbicides. Generally speaking, Roundup provides better control of large weeds, and Gramoxone provides better control of small weeds (Tables 1 and 2). Banvel and 2,4-D are superior if leguminous cover crops or annual broadleaf weeds are the dominant species present.
Where primary tillage is minimized, soil residual herbicides may reduce the need for a burndown herbicide. However, early pre-plant applications made more than 15 days before planting may require additional preemergence or postemergence herbicides for satisfactory weed control after planting.
Soybean stubble is often ideal for no-till production. Burndown plus preemergence or postemergence herbicides can often provide adequate control. Consult Tables 1, 2 and 3 for burndown and preemergence alternatives to atrazine.
No-till crop production does not necessarily reduce atrazine runoff unless water infiltration is increased. In no-till production, some large-seeded broadleaf weeds such as cocklebur will be less problematic, but perennial weeds and small-seeded weeds such as pigweeds become more of a problem.
In conventional tillage, consider using Broadstrike Plus as an alternative to atrazine as a pre-plant incorporated or preemergence treatment (Table 3). Use this product as a supplement to your pre-plant incorporated or preemergence grass control herbicide. There are several postemergence products to substitute for, or tank mix with, atrazine (Table 4). Typically the rate of application for atrazine in tank mixes is 1 pounds a.i. per acre at a cost of $3 to $4 per acre. This makes it possible to supplement the postemergence weed control at very little cost. The labeled atrazine tank mix partners in field corn are Accent, Banvel/Clarity, Basagran, Bladex, Buctril, Prowl, Pursuit (on IT/IR [imidazolinone-tolerant or -resistant] corn), and Tough. The labeled atrazine tank mix partners in grain sorghum are Basagran and Buctril.
Integrated pest management programs combine chemical use with many other production practices to manage pests in ways that are both economically and environmentally sound. These programs include such practices as crop rotation to avoid the buildup of pest populations and to maintain or improve soil conditions, the use of alternative pest-control products and pest-resistant varieties, and careful pest monitoring to ensure that chemical methods are used only when needed.
Scout your fields early and often and select the herbicide based on the weeds present. Proper management of your fields is essential. Atrazine is useful as a stand-alone product and as a tank mix partner. But unless we practice good land stewardship, we may lose this important product.

Florida International University's New Basketball Court [FBHW]
Florida International University recently put in a new, quite hideous, basketball court. They took a page from Boise State's playbook and created an artsy playing surface. The school decided to paint the court to look like a beach with crashing waves and palm trees. Zane got a little confused about the court, which resulted in his ridicule from the rest of the gang.
See what Free Beer and Hot Wings have to say about this odd court below.

Only the fool would take trouble to verify that his sentence was composed of ten as, three bs, four cs, four ds, forty-six es, sixteen fs, four gs, thirteen hs, fifteen is, two ks, nine ls, four ms, twenty-five ns, twenty-four os, five ps, sixteen rs, forty-one ss, thirty-seven ts, ten us, eight vs, eight ws, four xs, eleven ys, twenty-seven commas, twenty-three apostrophes, seven hyphens and, last but not least, a single!
Go ahead. Test the veracity of this (1960s I think) pre-computer generated masterpiece of self-referential sentences.
On the same vibe with Joe P. -- the holly date every fragrance wearer should know and observe as a public holiday -- August 19. Only I am in Jean Patou L'Heure Attendue, remember Mlle Coco and Jean Patou share a birthday. I tried to tell His Royal Duckness to synchronize in Chanel tomorrow -- he said No, it is Caron, the group voted. I will be in Chanel, my apologies.
The tooth is doing fine -- I guess, it is not with me any longer. A few years ago I had a brilliant idea -- if they get to keep our teeth, we should be paid. Did not work though.
Z., I suggest Dana Chantilly as your SotD for "the day".
E., how in the world did I miss Evangeline Day?
H., I love you too.
I don't own any Caron so I might join you in Chanel tomorrow. It's a while since I've worn any.
Today I'm testing the new Smell of Weather Turning from our gorilla boys. It's a bit odd, but pleasant. Much softer than the usual scent style from Mark and Si. I get a bit of a metallic edge, a lot of coumarin (must be the hay absolute) and there is that minty quality to it too. Not my favourite from the line, but very wearable. I preferred it when the whole room was scented with it at the gallery. My skin makes it a little too sweet.
Joining Joe in celebration of the fabulous Coco, wearing the scent that bears her name!

Good Morning All. The SOTD is L'Oocitane's 'CALANQUES' limited edition, introduced this month. This is a lovely scent. I would definitely consider this a unisex fragrance. Some have described it as "Fresh, sunny, and aquatic". Others say,"Woody, aromatic" I would agree that it encompasses both descriptions. Notes include;
Top: Lemon, Mandarin, Lentiska
Middle: Aquatic Accords, Jasmine, Lentiska
Bottom: Whitewoods, Cypress, Benzoin Pine Tree
The only drawback that I've observed is the sillage is pathetically lacking, I will probably purchase the body milk (lotion) for this purpose, only because I really enjoy the frarance.
Quarry- have fun today !

Police: Cocaine found in Andover man's vehicle
April 8, 2013
ANDOVER, Mass. (AP) — An Andover man is held on $5 million bail after police say they found 105 pounds of cocaine in his vehicle during a traffic stop.
Jose Martinez pleaded not guilty Monday in Lawrence District Court to charges of trafficking more than 200 grams of cocaine and illegal possession of a firearm.
Police say the 52-year-old Martinez's SUV was pulled over on Interstate 495 North at about 1 p.m. Friday. The arrest was the result of a three-month long investigation.
State police say they seized 105 pounds of cocaine with an estimated street value of $4.5 million.
Police called it one of the largest drug seizures in recent history.
Martinez is due back in court May 6.

"One of the fun examples among all the copyright fuss is the extreme example of copyright claims made by AT&T some time in the 1980s. It's the /bin/true program.

The 'true' program does nothing; it merely exits with a zero exit status. This can be done with an empty file that's marked executable, and that's what it was in the earliest unix system libraries. Such an empty file will be interpreted as a shell script that does nothing, and since it does this successfully, the shell exits with a zero exit status.

District Map
View PA-09 in a larger map
Welcome to the 9th District!
Welcome to Pennsylvania's 9th congressional district. The 9th stretches across a wide swath of some of the most beautiful countryside Pennsylvania has to offer. In total, the district includes all or parts of 12 counties from Fayette County, near Pittsburgh, to the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg and from the Maryland border north to Clearfield County.
The 9th district is easily accessible from major population centers including the Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Washington, and New York metro areas. Interstate 99, a major north-south route has made significant improvements to the region's economic growth, linking a productive and growing workforce to companies throughout the country.
The 9th district is steeped in American history. The Whiskey Rebellion of 1794 had its epicenter in Berlin, Somerset County. The rebellion marked the first confrontation between the newly formed federal government and its citizens. Albert Gallatin of Fayette County played an important role in the rebellion speaking out against President George Washington and the government.
Shanksville in Somerset County is the site of the Flight 93 National Memorial. The Memorial, which opened on the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, pays tribute to the brave passengers and crew who fought their terrorist hijackers and prevented an attack against Washington, DC.
Fayette County is home to Fort Necessity, were the opening action of the French and Indian War occured. Here, in 1754, a young Colonel George Washington fought French and American Indian forces in an effort to win British control over western Pennsylvania. The route taken by George Washington and British General Edward Braddock in their attempt to wrest Ft. Duquesne (now known as Pittsburgh) from French control is now known as Route 40, the "National Road."
Visitors to the 9th district can also visit Indiana, PA which is the hometown to Hollywood great Jimmy Stewart. Indiana County is also known as the "Christmas Tree Capital of the World." Additionally, visitors can enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Farmington, near Uniontown, the native home of General George Marshall. To the east, in Bedford County, visitors can relax and follow the footsteps of Presidents and Supreme Court Justices at the historic Bedford Springs Resort, which once served as a summer White House to President James Buchanan.
To the east, visitors can enjoy the Civil War history of Franklin County whose city Chambersburg was the only northern city to be burned during the war. Altoona in Blair County, hosts another of the 9th district's historical sites, the Horseshoe Curve, a famous curved section of track owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad. The Horseshoe Curve is a National Historic Landmark. This section of rail was an important resource for the country during WWII, as it served as an industrial link to the western part of the United States. Horseshoe Curve was a primary target of eight Nazi saboteurs who infiltrated the United States in the early years of the war. Altoona is also the home of the Railroaders Memorial Museum which celebrates the region's rich railroading history.

ND offers Cass Tech '15 QB Jayru Campbell
Per Allen Trieu: https://twitter.com/#!/AllenTrieu
Campbell now holds two offers. One from EMU, and now one from notre dame. Now that a big school/rival has offered him, I think it's time Michigan start keeping a very close eye on him.
In the Cass Tech games I attended this past season, he looked really impressive. Including the playoff game where he outperformed commit Shane Morris.
Jayru set Michigan HS Football State Championship game records for touchdown passes in Cass Tech's throttling of Catholic Central. Campbell was a FRESHMAN setting records.
He has mentioned to me that he has a relative that currently attends Michigan, and that he also "likes the school."
Interesting that ND has offered him this early, but I think this won't be the first of early offers he will be getting.

India and the Quest for One World: The Peacemakers
(Harper Collins India, 2012; Palgrave Macmillan, 2013)
This book tells the story of India's quest for human rights in the years leading up to its independence from Great Britain and for more than a decade after. Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, and Hansa Mehta all strove to bridge the ideological differences between the East and the West, between capitalist and communist, to forge a common destiny for mankind that would be free of empire, poverty, exploitation, and war. They called their solution One World, in which state power would be checked and the freedom of individuals and groups expanded. Based on seven years of research, this is the first truly international history of newly independent India. Manu Bhagavan (Prof., Hunter) serves on the doctoral faculty in history.

32w, 2d. I'm interrupting my plans to write about all the things I'll miss about pregnancy (see this last post about the 21 things I won't miss) because of something that happened yesterday during an ultrasound—and I wouldn't bother to mention it, except for the fact that I think it's part of something bigger.
To back up, I've been going for growth scans every four weeks during this pregnancy, as required by the maternal-fetal medicine specialist I've been seeing in conjunction with my homebirth midwives (all thanks to high blood pressure that made its debut early in pregnancy). The idea behind the growth scans (where they take a bunch of measurements of the baby, including its head, abdomen and thigh bone) is to make sure that the baby is growing sufficiently because high blood pressure can impact how well the placenta grows and nourishes the baby. All was well, yet again, during yesterday's scan—in fact instead of the baby measuring small for her gestational age, she measured two weeks bigger. Based on the sonographer's calculations, she's already weighing in at 5 lbs, 8 oz. The doctor I spoke with following the ultrasound said that that was fine—except [as he glanced me over, head to toe] that she might have a problem fitting "geometrically."
Now, if I were a first-time mom—or if I hadn't read all that I have about birth or have the supportive midwives I do—I might have been scared by that comment. Will she get stuck? Can I not give birth vaginally to this baby that still has another eight weeks to grow? Is she TOO big? Is there something wrong with my body? Luckily, I know just how wrong those size estimates can be—up to two pounds(!) in either direction by the time of the birth, I've read. And one of my midwives even took the time to tell me during a recent appointment that I should ignore any size estimates provided by the sonographer—that the most important thing was that the baby was growing, not how big they actually thought she might be. She reminded me that I've given birth vaginally (including once at home with no drugs) to two boys who have been just shy of eight pounds—and that women's bodies, mine included, are designed to do this difficult work. Or, as Ina May Gaskin writes in Ina May's Guide to Childbirth:
"Remember this, for it is as true and true gets: Your body is not a lemon. You are not a machine. The Creator is not a careless mechanic. Human female bodies have the same potential to give birth well as aardvarks, lions, rhinoceri, elephants, moose, and water buffalo. Even if it has not been your habit throughout your life so far, I recommend that you learn to think positively about your body."
So, while I was annoyed that this doctor felt it necessary to imply that I might not be able to birth this baby girl on my own, to start doubt creeping in, to float the idea of the necessity of a c-section, I knew better. I could roll my eyes and shrug my shoulders and leave his office with no change in plans on my part—I remain committed to a natural birth because I believe my body and my baby were meant to work in tandem and do this. Yes, there are rare cases where a woman might have a tiny pelvis and a huge baby, but I have no reason to believe that this is one of those.
In addition to this doctor's comment, I had someone else suggest to me this week that breastfeeding might not work this time around. "You never know!" she said—it just depends on the baby. The comment was part of an offer to help—a well-intentioned offer to bottle-feed the baby and allow me some rest after the birth—and I'm sure the commenter had no idea how detrimental such a remark could be. Again, I've breastfed two babies—one for 13 months and the other for 23 months. Yes, I know how hard it can be (I saw THREE lactation consultants the first time around!), but I also know that I trust my body to do the job it was designed to. I know my breasts can produce milk (heck, I've already got colostrum coming in!)—and I also know that there is a learning curve for babies (they've never done that work before!), but I also know that it's the most natural form of nourishment for them—that's why moms make milk. I fully acknowledge that breastfeeding doesn't come easily for some women for a variety of reasons and I absolutely respect other women's feeding choices (we supplemented with formula the first time around and were grateful to do so)—but to suggest to a woman who is about to have a baby or to one who has a newborn that her body might not have enough milk or that maybe things just won't work out re: breastfeeding is a pretty horrible thing to say in my opinion. Why not just support the mother and believe in her—and allow her to believe in herself?
Because I know better, believe in my body, and choose to deal with things as they come instead of wasting my time worrying about all of the negative what-ifs, I'm brushing off these remarks and continuing to look forward to a natural birth and to a (hopefully) long and rewarding breastfeeding relationship. But it could so easily go the other way—worrying that I'll need a c-section, that homebirth is no longer a safe choice to me, that I'll fail at breastfeeding this time around… Have you heard negative remarks about your body's ability to birth, breastfeed, carry a child to term, etc.? Have others suggested that maybe you won't be able to do something and made you doubt yourself? Please share the gory details below—but know that I believe you can do it all.
Edited to add: One of my midwives called me this morning in response to an email I sent them about this last night, asking for reassurance that I was right to disregard this particular doctor's opinions re: the geometry of my pelvis vs. that of my baby. In her voicemail, she said, "Melanie, you will grow the perfect-sized child, and you know that. Don't let medical people scare you. Don't believe the hype." Reason #273 I love my midwives. May we all find awesome health care providers who support us and believe in the power of our bodies.

Skip to comments.Iranian Alert -- July 18, 2004 [EST]-- IRAN LIVE THREAD -- "Americans for Regime Change in Iran"
Posted on 07/17/2004 9:01:07 PM PDT by DoctorZIn
The US media still largley ignores news regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran. As Tony Snow of the Fox News Network has put it, this is probably the most under-reported news story of the year. Most Americans are unaware that the Islamic Republic of Iran is NOT supported by the masses of Iranians today. Modern Iranians are among the most pro-American in the Middle East.
There is a popular revolt against the Iranian regime brewing in Iran today. I began these daily threads June 10th 2003. On that date Iranians once again began taking to the streets to express their desire for a regime change. Today in Iran, most want to replace the regime with a secular democracy.
The regime is working hard to keep the news about the protest movement in Iran from being reported. Unfortunately, the regime has successfully prohibited western news reporters from covering the demonstrations. The voices of discontent within Iran are sometime murdered, more often imprisoned. Still the people continue to take to the streets to demonstrate against the regime.
In support of this revolt, Iranians in America have been broadcasting news stories by satellite into Iran. This 21st century news link has greatly encouraged these protests. The regime has been attempting to jam the signals, and locate the satellite dishes. Still the people violate the law and listen to these broadcasts. Iranians also use the Internet and the regime attempts to block their access to news against the regime. In spite of this, many Iranians inside of Iran read these posts daily to keep informed of the events in their own country.
This daily thread contains nearly all of the English news reports on Iran. It is thorough. If you follow this thread you will witness, I believe, the transformation of a nation. This daily thread provides a central place where those interested in the events in Iran can find the best news and commentary. The news stories and commentary will from time to time include material from the regime itself. But if you read the post you will discover for yourself, the real story of what is occurring in Iran and its effects on the war on terror.
I am not of Iranian heritage. I am an American committed to supporting the efforts of those in Iran seeking to replace their government with a secular democracy. I am in contact with leaders of the Iranian community here in the United States and in Iran itself.
If you read the daily posts you will gain a better understanding of the US war on terrorism, the Middle East and why we need to support a change of regime in Iran. Feel free to ask your questions and post news stories you discover in the weeks to come.
If all goes well Iran will be free soon and I am convinced become a major ally in the war on terrorism. The regime will fall. Iran will be free. It is just a matter of time.
Iran mullah-run judiciary bans two pro-reform newspapers
Jul 17, 2004, 20:38
Iran's mullah-run judiciary on Saturday ordered two pro-reform newspapers to close temporarily. The bans on Jomhuriat and Vaghay-e-Ettefaghieh were to be temporary, but it wasn't clear when exactly they would be allowed to resume publishing. In the past, newspapers generally have not reappeared after temporary bans.
Vaghay-e-Ettefaghieh was ordered closed for publishing propaganda against the state, insulting officials and publishing lies aimed at disturbing public opinion, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency. It did not give details.
Vahid Pourostad, a member of the paper's editorial board, told The Associated Press the ban had taken him by surprise. He said he did not know exactly why his paper was shut down.
Newspaper executives at Jomhuriat could not be reached for comment Saturday night and office phones went unanswered
Regime change in Iran now in Bushs sights
By Jenifer Johnston
PRESIDENT George Bush has promised that if re-elected in November he will make regime change in Iran his new target.
Bush named Iran as part of the Axis of Evil along with North Korea and Iraq almost three years ago. A US government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that military action would not be overt in changing Iran, but rather that the US would work to stir revolts in the country and hope to topple the current conservative religious leadership.
The official said: If George Bush is re-elected there will be much more intervention in the internal affairs of Iran.
The Iranian government announced this weekend that it had successfully eradicated all al-Qaeda cells operating in the country, but the statement comes as leaked reports from the US September 11 Commission show definite links between Iran and the September 11 terrorists.
The final report from the cross-party inquiry, which is examining the origins of the September 11 attacks, is believed to contain concrete evidence of contacts between al-Qaeda and Iran.
Time magazine reports that at least eight of the hijackers, who lived in the US for months before the attacks, passed through Iran between October 2000 and February 2001 apparently with help from the Iranian authorities.
Known al-Qaeda members also seem to have been allowed to cross in and out of Iran freely across the Afghan border, with Iranian border guards being told not to stamp the passports of al-Qaeda operatives, harass them or hinder their ability to travel freely.
The report is thought to hint that Iranian officials were ordered to assist al-Qaeda operatives with any travel needs.
The September 11 Commission report will, however, stop short of stating that Iran was aware of the plans for the September 11 attacks.
Tehran has always officially denied helping members of al-Qaeda escape from Afghan istan in 2001 when the Taliban regime fell.
State television in Iran yesterday showed the countrys intelligence minister announcing the capture of a number of al-Qaeda supporters.
Ali Yunesi said: Irans intelligence apparatus has identified and arrested small Iranian deviate branches of the al-Qaeda group. There was no clarification on how many people had been arrested or charged.
Yunesi warned that Iran would take a tough line against militants using Iran as a base. Those who seek to misuse the safe situation in Iran will face serious consequences, he said.
The Iranian government says it has arrested and repatriated hundreds of al-Qaeda suspects in the past two years in a display of willingness to bring terrorism in the Middle East under control.
A suspected Saudi al-Qaeda militant, Khaled al-Harbi, who appeared in a videotape with Osama bin Laden, gave himself up in Iran last week, and was flown back to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
On Friday US officials said the next stage of the September 11 Commissions report would be available this week.
There was embarrassment for the Bush administration last week when it emerged a tight deadline was being pushed for the capture of Osama bin Laden to generate headlines during the Democratic Convention when presidential rival John Kerry will be grabbing the limelight.
Pakistani security forces have apparently been given deadlines to capture bin Laden that are before the US general election in November, according to US sources.
Mullahs Atomic Shopping Cart Deepens

Western diplomats say recent intelligence reports show Iran has been attempting to buy items that could be used to build nuclear weapons -- a charge Tehran dismisses as baseless.
The diplomats cited European customs information and intelligence gathered in the Middle East showing Tehran had tried to buy, among other things, high-speed switches that could potentially be used in a nuclear weapon and high-speed cameras the Iranians might use to test a nuclear explosion.
"They appear to be working on the planning for a high-speed nuclear implosion device," the diplomat said, adding that Iran had also been experimenting with "high explosive that would be appropriate for the core of a nuclear weapon."
A senior U.S. official told Reuters in Washington that these procurement efforts were part of an effort that has been going on for a long time. He declined to confirm the specific items mentioned, but said they were not "all new" to Washington.
"This is an ongoing procurement process. I fully believe that they're still at it, but I can't say that there is some new list that they're out buying right now," the official said.
Iranian court told Canadian was tortured to death
18 July 2004
TEHRAN: Canadian journalist Zahra Kazemi was tortured to death in Iranian custody, her tearful mother has told a court after the trial resumed of an intelligence agent accused of the killing.
"There were burns on my daughter's chest, her fingers and toes and nose were broken...she was tortured to death," Ezzat Kazemi told the court yesterday after a nine-month delay in proceedings.
The case has strained Iran's relations with Canada, prompting Ottawa to withdraw its ambassador this week, and has exposed deep rifts between President Mohammad Khatami's reformist government and the hardline judiciary.
The intelligence agent, Mohammad Reza Aqdam, has denied a charge of what the court calls the semi-intentional murder of Kazemi, a 54-year-old of Iranian descent who was arrested outside Tehran's Evin prison last July for taking photographs.
The charge, lesser than murder or manslaughter, carries a possible penalty of up to three years in jail and the payment of blood money to the victim's family.
The judiciary initially said Kazemi died of a stroke, but a government inquiry ordered by Khatami showed she received a heavy blow which split her skull, causing a brain haemorrhage. She died in hospital 10 days after lapsing into a coma.
During more than 72 hours in Evin prison, Kazemi was interrogated separately by police, judiciary and Intelligence Ministry officials.
"I have complaints against all of those involved in her arrest and murder," said Ezzat Kazemi, adding she wanted other people brought to justice in the case.
Nobel Peace Prize winner and human rights lawyer Shirin Ebadi, representing Kazemi's family at the trial, accused the judiciary of ignoring evidence pointing to other suspects, including a judiciary official named Mohammad Bakhshi.
"She was hit on the head by Bakhshi shortly after she was arrested," Ebadi told the court.
"After being beaten, she fell and could not walk," said Ebadi, adding: "Why has this not been mentioned in the case?"
Ebadi demanded the case should be sent to a higher court and called for many senior officials, including Intelligence Minister Ali Yunesi, to appear as witnesses.
Tehran's Deputy Prosecutor Jafar Reshadati denied any judiciary involvement in Kazemi's death, but Ebadi and Canadian officials believe the intelligence officer is being used as a scapegoat to protect senior judiciary officials.
In a sign of rifts between the government and judiciary over the case, Khatami and the Intelligence Ministry have suggested the charge against Aqdam is politically motivated.
Khatami, now in his last year in office, has faced constant opposition from powerful hardliners who have resisted his efforts to improve civil rights and the rule of law.
Canada announced the withdrawal of its ambassador on Wednesday after Tehran rejected Ottawa's request for three Canadian observers at the trial.
The Dutch ambassador to Iran, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the European Union, and a British diplomat attended the court hearing.
Canada briefly recalled its ambassador last year when Iran ignored the wishes of Kazemi's son for her body to be returned home for burial. She was buried at her birthplace in south Iran.
"They forced me and threatened me to accept to bury her here. Is this Islam?" Ezzat Kazemi told the court
Encyclopedia on Iranian women published
Tehran, July 18, IRNA -- The first encyclopedia on Iranian women was published on Saturday.
The sponsor of the work titled 'Iranian women' was the Women Partnership Center affiliated to the Presidential Office which supported the project in cooperation with the Great Persian Encyclopedia Foundation affiliated to the Ministry of Sciences, Researches and Technology.
In the two-volume book, a short report on the situation of Iranian poetesses, women artists, writers, journalists and politicians has been presented.
The encyclopedia contains around 2,200 topics about distinguished women in the history of Iran.
Women's repression increases across Iran
SMCCDI (Information Service)
July 17, 2004
The increase of women's repression, by the Islamic regime,
has lead to more sporadic clashes and arrests in the recent
days as the victims are intending often to resist the new
wave of governmental harassment. Women are arrested,
flogged or "forced to put their legs in bags full of
cockroaches" for the non observance of the mandatory veil
imposed by the regime's militiamen deployed in main public
The arrested, often young girls, are in most cases forced
to pass a "virginity test" and are kept for 24 hours after
their files are completed without any contact with their
families unaware of their fates.
Orders have been issued to the notorious General Ghalibaf
in order to confiscate drivers licenses and not issuing
passports for any female with a poor veiling history.
Shops displaying modern female closing or businesses and
restaurants admitting "bad veiled women" are fined or
forced to close.
It's to note that the Islamic regime, in a Machiavellian
advanced preparation for another reformist scenario which
shall start with the future Islamic Presidential Elections
of 2005, intends to make Iranian women to regret having
boycotted its last sham elections and ridiculizing the
so-called reform policy. Such psychological trick is backed
by the well known gender discrimination which is one of the
main pillars of the backwarded Islamist ideology
considering "females as half a man and source of bad
Iran linked to Sept 11: report
05:51 AEST Sun Jul 18 2004
AFP - The September 11 commission's report, due out Thursday, says Iran may have facilitated the 2001 attacks on the United States by providing eight to 10 al-Qaeda hijackers with safe passage to and from training camps in Afghanistan, media reports said.
Time and Newsweek, in similar reports quoting congressional, commission and government sources, said Iran relaxed border controls and provided "clean" passports for the so-called "muscle hijackers" to transit Iran to and from Osama bin Laden's camps between October 2000 and February 2001.
And, according to Time, the report says Iran at one point proposed collaborating with al-Qaeda on attacks against America, but bin Laden declined, saying he did not want to alienate his supporters in Saudi Arabia.
Newsweek said the Iranian finding in the commission's report is based largely on a December 2001 memo discovered buried in the files of the US National Security Agency.
The memo, according to Newsweek, says "Iranian border inspectors were instructed not to place stamps in the passports of al-Qaeda fighters from Saudi Arabia who were travelling from bin Laden's camps through Iran."
Time said commission investigators "found that Iran had a history of allowing al-Qaeda members to enter and exit Iran across the Afghan border," a practice they said dated back to October 2000.
Iranian officials, Time said, issued "specific instructions to their border guards ... not to put stamps in the passports of al-Qaeda personnel and otherwise not harass them and to facilitate their travel across the frontier."
"The new discovery about Iran's assistance to al-Qaeda," said Newsweek, "is among the most surprising new findings" in the 500-page report compiled by the non-partisan commission.
The New York Times said the commission report would also recommend creation of an intelligence czar, a cabinet-level post that would take power from the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Council and the Pentagon to oversee intelligence gathering said to have been lacking before and after September 11.
Facing fresh US allegations, Iran claims it has dismantled al-Qaeda groups
AFP - World News (via Yahoo)
Jul 17, 2004
TEHRAN - Iran's intelligence minister announced that his services had smashed al-Qaeda operations in the country, amid fresh allegations from the United States the clerical regime has been cooperating with Osama bin Laden's network.
"The intelligence ministry has identified and dismantled all the Iranian branches of the al-Qaeda movement," Ali Yunessi was quoted as saying.
"We have stopped the terrorist acts of al-Qaeda. If we had not done so, we would have had security problems," he added.
Yunessi gave no further details.
But his statement coincided with US media reports that the September 11 commission in Washington has concluded Iran may have facilitated the 2001 attacks on the United States by providing eight to 10 al-Qaeda hijackers with safe passage to and from training camps in Afghanistan.
Time and Newsweek, in similar reports quoting congressional, commission and government sources, said Iran relaxed border controls and provided "clean" passports for the so-called "muscle hijackers" to transit Iran to and from bin Laden's camps between October 2000 and February 2001.
The commission's report says Iran at one point proposed collaborating with al-Qaeda on attacks against America, but bin Laden declined, saying he did not want to alienate his supporters in Saudi Arabia, according to Time.
Time said commission investigators "found that Iran had a history of allowing al-Qaeda members to enter and exit Iran across the Afghan border," a practice they said dated back to October 2000.
And Newsweek quoted former White House counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke as saying "there were lots of reasons to believe (al-Qaeda) was being facilitated by elements of the Iranian security services. The best evidence we had of state support (for al-Qaeda) was Iran."
Iran has frequently been accused of harbouring and not cracking down on the group. Iran, which was hostile to Afghanistan's Taliban and Al-Qaeda, has fiercely denied allegations that it is supporting the group.
In 2003, Iran confirmed it was holding senior al-Qaeda members, but has refused to identify them.
Diplomatic sources and Arab press reports have pointed to the possible presence in Iran of the movement's spokesman, Sulaiman Abu Gaith, and its number three, Saif al-Adel, as well as bin Laden's son and Al-Qaeda heir, Saad.
And in February, Spain's top anti-terror judge Baltasar Garzon alleged Al-Qaeda had a "board of managers" operating in Iran.
But the Iranian government has responded by criticising what it sees as a failure by US troops in Iraq to crack down on the People's Mujahedeen, the main Iranian armed opposition group, which Washington considers a terrorist organisation.

Press Trust of India - Report Section
Jul 17, 2004
WASHINGTON - Maintaining that Iran has not given up the quest to acquire a nuclear weapon through dual use technology, the US has said if the country doesn't give it up, it will pay an unacceptable economic price.
"It is not an idle threat. Most of the world wanted to look the other way on Iranian programme. But President Bush focused on it and the US made it a matter of importance in its agenda with Russia, which was building nuclear plants in Iran," Secretary of State Colin Powell said.
He indicated that the US considers both Iran and North Korea vulnerable to economic sanctions.
"We were able to provide information to the IAEA, as did others, that we have finally discovered in a way that is indisputable that Iran was moving in that direction. Iran was hiding things and moving towards acquiring a nuclear weapon."
Observing that the country has enough oil to take care of all of its energy needs and a good part of the world's energy needs for a long time to come, the US Secretary of State said, "it is our considered judgment that whatever civilian purpose it might have had, it had a principal purpose of moving them towards the development of a nuclear weapon."
"This is a nuclear weapons programme," he said adding "they went out of their way to hide facilities, to deceive the international community as to what was happening."
The Foreign Ministers of France, Germany and Britain got engaged in this on behalf of the EU and got commitments from Iran that it would be forthcoming and stop all this activity, Powell said.
Palestinian problem - ''strategic issue for Iran''
Al Bawaba - Report Section
Jul 17, 2004
Majlis Speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad Adel Saturday termed the Palestinian problem as a "strategic issue for Iran," stressing the 7th Majlis would do its utmost to support the "brave but oppressed Palestinians."
In a meeting with Palestinian Ambassador to Tehran Salah Zawawi, Haddad Adel said Iran regards the Palestinian issue as the symbol of struggles of the Islamic world against the West's atrocities, IRNA reported.
He added the ruling of the International Court of Justice in The Hague on the need of bringing down the illegal wall being built in the Palestinian territory was a big victory for the Islamic world and the Palestinians.
"The US and the Zionist regime`s refusal to accept the (ICJ) ruling indicates their lack of commitment to international regulations and their dual standards regarding international issues," he said.
Are Iran and Al Qaeda vying for influence in Yemen?
At least 200 dead in Yemeni battle against radicals.
By Nicholas Blanford | Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor
BEIRUT, LEBANON - Could Yemen follow on the heels of Afghanistan and Iraq as the third major venue in the war on terrorism?
A bloody Islamist insurrection in the mountainous north which has cost more than 200 lives and a statement from an Al Qaeda group vowing to turn Yemen into a "quagmire" for the US would suggest that the remote country at the tip of the Arabian peninsula is gearing up for conflict.
But instead of an Al Qaeda campaign against the US and the Yemeni government, a conflict in Yemen may involve a power struggle between militant Sunnis and Iranian-backed Shiites, analysts say.
Al Qaeda despises the Shiite branch of Islam as much as it hates the US. Therefore, analysts say, Iran may back Shiite groups to counter the spread of Al Qaeda's influence in Yemen, which would threaten the country's traditionally moderate Zaidi Shiite population.
"I don't think Iran will allow Al Qaeda to set up a base in Yemen which could threaten the Zaidi Shiites," says Nizar Hamzeh, professor of politics at the American University of Beirut.
On July 1, the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigade, an Al Qaeda affiliate, released a statement vowing "to drag the United States into a third quagmire, that is after Iraq and Afghanistan, and let it be Yemen, God willing." The brigade has previously claimed responsibility for the March 11 rail bombings in Madrid as well as numerous attacks in Turkey and Iraq.
With the US military presence in Yemen minimal it seems unlikely that Yemen would become a venue for the war on terror. However, Yemen is the most populated and poorest country in the Arabian peninsula, with unemployment as high as 40 percent, making it fertile recruiting ground for Al Qaeda.
In October 2000, a suicide bomb attack killed 17 US sailors and damaged the USS Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden. The same year, the oil supertanker Limburg was damaged in an attack thought to have been carried out by Al Qaeda just off the Yemeni coast.
"Thousands of jobless and hopeless Yemeni youths are an easy target for transnational and domestic extremist groups," says Abdullah al-Faqih, professor of politics at the University of Sana in Yemen. "Furthermore, Al Qaeda may also benefit from the Yemeni government's inability to effectively control some remote areas in the far north and in the long coastal area."
Yemen is a potentially convenient refuge for Al Qaeda militants fleeing a crackdown in Saudi Arabia. Large stretches of the Yemen-Saudi border remain undefined and run through desert and mountainous terrain. Still, the Saudi and Yemeni authorities have increased security cooperation, with the former laying a concrete-filled pipe along the frontier to impede illegal infiltration.
"More important, tribes along the borders have come to realize the heavy cost they may incur in case they harbor such elements" says Professor Faqih.
The Yemen government is sharing intelligence with the US, has expelled foreign Islamists, tightened up visa restrictions, and arrested militants.
At the end of June, authorities shut down all unregistered religious schools, seen as breeding grounds for Islamic militants. That decision appears to be connected connected to a violent insurrection waged for the past month in Saada, a mountainous northwest province. The revolt is led by Hussein al-Houthi, an anti-US Shiite cleric who runs a religious school and heads a group called Al Shabab al-Moumin, the Youthful Believers.
"It is imperative to make a distinction between the ongoing clashes in northern Yemen and Al Qaeda's various groups and leaders," says Faqih. "Al Houthi's group and Al Qaeda may share a common anti-American tone, but "Houthi hates Al Qaeda more than he hates the state."
Houthi's rebels have been flying the flag of the Iranian-backed Hizbullah organization and the militant cleric has been paying his followers $100.
"This is a huge sum. Where does he get all this money? Who is the party financing him and to what end?" asked Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh in an interview last week with Lebanon's Al Mustaqbal newspaper.
Hizbullah has denied any involvement with Houthi, saying the party's policy "is not to intervene in other country's affairs."
The Zaidi Shiites are thought to comprise about one third of Yemen's population of 20 million with the moderate Shafi Sunnis making up the rest. Although the Shafi Sunnis historically have been tolerant of the Shiites, that could change if Al Qaeda grows, says Professor Hamzeh.
"It seems that Al Qaeda has been successful in radicalizing the Shafi Sunnis," he says. "I can definitely see a future clash between the Zaidi Shiites and the newly mobilized Shafi Sunnis."
Controversial Kazemi Trial Halted In Iran
18 July 2004 -- Iran's judiciary today abruptly ended hearings into last year's killing of Iranian-Canadian photographer Zahra Kazemi, triggering protests from lawyers of the victim's family.
What prompted the judges to halt the session was not immediately clear.
Nobel Prize winner Shirin Ebadi, who represents Kazemi's family, walked out of the courtroom in protest.
Earlier today, western diplomats and journalists were barred from attending the trial of the security agent accused of killing Kazemi.
The 54-year-old freelance photographer died from a brain hemorrhage a year ago while in custody for taking pictures outside Tehran's Evin prison. The security agent blamed for her death has pleaded not guilty.
Iranian President Mohammad Khatami has said he believes the man is innocent and blamed the conservative judiciary for failing to look for other suspects.
Iran says Sept 11 plotters may have passed through
Sun 18 July, 2004 09:45
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran has acknowledged that some al Qaeda members involved in the September 11 attacks on the United States may have passed through the country shortly beforehand.
U.S. government sources have said a bipartisan commission's report this week on the September 11 attacks will mention that some of the hijackers transited through Iran on their way to the United States.
"We have long borders and it is not possible to fully control them," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told a weekly news conference on Sunday when asked about the commission's report.
"It is normal that five or six people who cross the border illegally over a period of five or six months may evade our attention. The same happens on the border between Mexico and the United States," he added.
Asefi noted that Iran had tightened its border control since the September 11 attacks.
"It happened before September 11 and who knew that September 11 was going to happen?"
Iran denies U.S. accusations that it has collaborated with and harboured al Qaeda members fleeing Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban. The hardline Islamic movement was overthrown in a U.S.-led war at the end of 2001.
Tehran has arrested and deported hundreds of al Qaeda suspects in the past two years and says it is holding some senior members of Osama bin Laden's network.
On Saturday it announced it had smashed a ring of Iranian al Qaeda supporters.
"Iran has shown it is against terrorists and extremism and is serious about confronting terrorists," Asefi said.
He said news reports tying Iran to al Qaeda were part of a U.S. cover-up to deflect attention away from its failings in Iraq.
"The more we approach the U.S. (presidential) election the more we will witness such news propaganda," he said.
Islam apologist Ebadi takes over Kazemi case in Iran
Jul 17, 2004, 20:45
Islam apologist Shirin Ebadi and her selected three-man team will take over today's controversial murder case of Iranian-Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi.
"I will be the attorney for Mrs. Kazemi's mother as well as her son Stephan," Ebadi told the students' news agency ISNA before the trial, which will be her first following last year's Nobel Prize win.
The Kazemi case is not only filled with ambiguities over the real culprit or culprits but also overshadowed by a political crisis between Teheran and Ottawa following Canada's withdrawal of its ambassador last Wednesday.
Iran Bars Diplomats, Foreign Press From Kazemi Trial
July 18, 2004
Agence France-Presse
Iran's hardline judiciary today prevented foreign diplomats and the press from attending the trial of an agent accused of the killing in custody of Iranian-Canadian photographer Zahra Kazemi.
As the morning hearing started Canadian ambassador Philip Mackinnon, Dutch ambassador Hein De Vries as well as senior diplomats from the French and British embassies were kept outside the Tehran tribunal.
"It is a great shame. We were told we did not have the necessary permit to attend. We are in contact with the Iranian foreign ministry about this," one of the diplomats said.
Journalists working for foreign news organisations were also barred.
The controversial trial resumed yesterday after a nine-month gap, and journalists and diplomats had been permitted to attend.
Iran Protest Arrest of its Nationals
July 18, 2004
Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting
IRIB News
Baghdad -- Iranian embassy in Baghdad protested to Iraqi officials about the arrest of 14 Iranian nationals in Baghdad. Iraqi officials announced last week that they have arrested 85 foreigners in Iraq in addition to 14 Iranian nationals and accused them of sabotage.
The arrests were given wide coverage in Baghdad-based newspaper, As-Sabah, while there is no evidence to accuse the Iranians of sabotage.
After the collapse of Saddam Hussein, forging documents has been a routine in Iraq and certain press echo baseless charges against Iraq's neighbors for their own reasons.
