Obama Sent Iran Message Ahead Of Nuclear Deadline: Report

By Yahoo News, Jun. 29, 2015

Tehran (AFP) - US President Barack Obama recently sent a private message to Iran's leadership via Iraq's prime minister, an Iranian newspaper reported Monday on the eve of a deadline for a nuclear deal.

Hamshahri, Iran's highest-circulation daily, citing a lawmaker, said "one of the leaders of a neighbouring country" took the message from Obama to officials in Tehran.

The subject discussed was the nuclear talks between Iran and world powers led by the United States it said, without giving further details on its content.

The newspaper suggested that the message bearer was Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who met Obama on June 8 on the sidelines of a G7 summit in Germany.

Abadi visited Tehran on June 17, meeting Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as well as President Hassan Rouhani.

What About The "Scenario" Where Iran Gets Bombed?

Iran Prepared For All Scenarios In Nuclear Talks: Negotiator

By Reuters, May 15, 2015, News.Yahoo.com

VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran is prepared for "all scenarios" in talks with world powers about curbing its nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief, its top nuclear negotiator said on Friday when asked what would happen if no final deal was reached by July.

Diplomats have been working in Vienna this week to iron out details of a deal without announcing any breakthrough ahead of a self-imposed June 30 deadline. The current talks, led by U.S. Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, concluded on Friday, a diplomatic source said.

"Even if I'm optimistic, that doesn't mean that any deal is acceptable. All parties want a good deal, and for Iran it's only a good deal if our legitimate rights are respected and sanctions are finished," top negotiator and Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told Austrian news agency APA.

"We have thought of all possibilities and, accordingly, are prepared for all scenarios," he said.

Michelle Obama Navigates Limits On Women In Saudi Arabia

AP, Jan. 27, 2015, Yahoo News

Under the kingdom's strict dress code for women, Saudi females are required to wear a headscarf and loose, black robes in public. Most women in Saudi Arabia cover their hair and face with a veil known as the niqab. But covering one's head is not required for foreigners, and some Western women choose to forego the headscarf while in Saudi Arabia.

As a delegation of dozens of Saudi officials — all men — greeted the Obamas in Riyadh, some shook hands with Mrs. Obama. Others avoided a handshake but acknowledged the first lady with a nod as they passed by.

Mubasher Bukhari, Jan. 18, 2015, Reuters

On Friday, protesters trying to storm the French consulate in the southern city of Karachi shot and injured a photographer working for French news agency AFP.

Saeed called for more rallies next Friday. He says he has no links to militancy these days and only runs a charity, which is banned by the U.S. government for suspected militant links. The U.S. government has offered $10 million for information leading to Saeed's conviction.

Agent: Woods' Front Tooth Knocked Out By Videographer

AP, Jan. 19, 2015, Yahoo News

"I was among those who escorted him from the tent to the snowmobile and there was no such incident," Nicola Colli, the secretary general of the race organizing committee, told The Associated Press. "When he arrived he asked for more security and we rounded up police to look after both him and Lindsey."

Woods had been wearing a scarf with a skeleton pattern over the lower part of his face, sunglasses and a stocking cap. The photo was taken when the scarf was lowered.

Iran General Killed With Hezbollah Fighters In Israel Raid

Sara Hussein and Serene Assir, Jan. 19, 2015, AFP

The attack on Sunday near Quneitra on the Syrian-controlled side of the Golan Heights enraged Hezbollah's supporters, but analysts said the group would avoid a major escalation with Israel.

Once solely focused on fighting Israel, Hezbollah is now deeply involved in the war in neighbouring Syria, where it backs President Bashar al-Assad.

League Probing Patriots' Possible Use Of Deflated Balls

Reuters, Jan. 19, 2015, Yahoo News

According to a report on the NFL's website, a ball was taken off the field and out of circulation during New England's 45-7 win over the visiting Colts that clinched a berth in the Feb. 1 Super Bowl.

Using a deflated ball is presumably done to help players increase their grip, which could have been an issue during Sunday's game that was played in rainy conditions.

Journalist Says Paris Terror Attack Could Have Been Prevented

Michael Walsh, Jan. 13, 2015, Yahoo! News

“Like everyone I’m shocked and saddened by the killings in Paris. And like many people I’m also wondering if they might have been avoided,” Houser said in an interview with Yahoo News. “If France had kept him in custody or put him in prison for a long sentence… It’s unfortunate that authorities there thought a three-year sentence was sufficient.”

In January 2005, French police arrested Kouachi and two other young men for trying to travel to Syria and sneak across the border into Iraq to join other jihadists in their fight against American and Iraqi soldiers, according to news reports at the time.

Need Help Filing Out Your Tax Return? Don't Call The IRS

Stephen Ohlemacher, Jan. 14, 2015, AP

Got a question for the IRS? Good luck reaching someone by phone. The tax agency says only half of the 100 million people expected to call this year will be able to reach a person.

Callers who do get through may have to wait on hold for 30 minutes or more to talk to someone who will answer only the simplest questions.

Keystone Pipeline Bill Advances Bill Advances In US Senate

AFP, Jan. 12, 2015, Yahoo! News

The legislation easily passed the House last week. It cleared its first major hurdle in the Republican-controlled Senate, advancing on a 63-32 vote, including 11 Democratic supporters.

But the count fell short of the 67-vote threshold that the bill will need to reach to override a veto should Obama follow through on his threat to veto the measure.

Wealthy Donors Sided With Democrats In Midterms

Philip Elliott, Dec. 24, 2014, AP

Among the top 100 individual donors to political groups, more than half gave primarily to Democrats or their allies. Among groups that funneled more than $100,000 to allies, the top of the list tilted overwhelmingly toward Democrats — a group favoring the GOP doesn't appear on the list until No. 14.

The two biggest super PACs of 2014? Senate Majority PAC and House Majority PAC — both backing Democrats.

"The president’s decision to reward the Castro regime and begin the path toward the normalization of relations with Cuba is inexplicable," Rubio said in a statement.

The Florida Republican senator, who is Cuban-American, said he would use his role as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Western Hemisphere subcommittee in the new Congress to try to block the plan.
