Resolving the U.S.-Iran nuclear standoff is a matter of historical precedent, trust, and diplomacy, argues Iran's foreign minister in the Washington Post.
Forty-five years ago, the United States sold my country a research reactor as well as weapons-grade uranium as its fuel. Not long afterward, America agreed to help Iran set up the full nuclear fuel cycle along with atomic power plants. The U.S. argument was that nuclear power would provide for the growing needs of our economy and free our remaining oil reserves for export or conversion to petrochemicals.
That rationale has not changed.
Still, after the Islamic Revolution in our country in 1979, all understandings with the United States in the nuclear field unraveled. Washington even cut off fuel deliveries to the very facility it supplied. To secure fuel from other sources, Iran was forced to modify the reactor to run on uranium enriched to around 20 percent. The Tehran Research Reactor still operates, supplying isotopes used in the medical treatment of 800,000 of my fellow Iranians every year.
But getting to this point was not easy. In 2009, we put forward a request to the International Atomic Energy Agency for fuel for the reactor as its supply was running out, threatening the lives of many Iranians. When we agreed to exchange a major portion of our stock of low-enriched uranium for reactor fuel in 2010 — a proposal by the Obama administration — the response we got from the White House was a push for more U.N. Security Council sanctions.

If you have any sensitivity to the chemicals in regular sunscreen, this stick is perfect. It is clear and goes on easily, and you can carry it with you. I love it because it is one of the few sunscreens I can use on my face that will not give me an itchy rash, and unlike zinc creams it doesn't make you look like a patchy ghost. It is made for guys, but I'm a girl and I love it anyway.5

CELEBRITY WEDDING LOVE | Who: Jason Mesnick & Molly Malaney | When: Feb. 27 | Where: Terranea Resort in Ranchos Palos Verdes, CA.
As you may remember, I was pretty shocked/impressed by the evident success of this rather unlikely couple. And now look – they're married. I guess love truly does conquer all – even when one of the lovers totally chose a different chick, got sick of her, and then went back to the other one, because he's got an overblown sense of entitlement. Well, it's either love conquers all, or they're both seriously insecure and thrive in codependent relationships.
Buuuut… all's well that ends well. I'm happy for them! Truly. (And she's so cute, isn't she? Great eyes – remember how he loved her eyes? That is, before he CHOSE A DIFFERENT GIRL TO BE HIS LIFE PARTNER. Just sayin.)
It rained… uggh. But they definitely didn't let it get them down. Still, here's my suggestion: don't try to prove you're one of those girls who likes camping, when you don't actually like camping. Standing without cover as pre-tsunami (yes, there was a tsunami warning) rain pelts down on your very expensive hairdo and spray-on tan isn't going to make people think you're low maintenance. So, please, don't make it your goal. Just do YOU. I should add, even girls who like camping would yell for an umbrella during their wedding ceremony!!!!!
… Have I mentioned, umbrellas are great? I have a red one and I luuuurve it. During sun showers it casts this striking red hue in a one foot radius around me; makes me feel all warm and happy. Red umbrellas – highly recommended for good spirits.
I adore these shots, below. Oh, and that dress? That's $45,000 worth of Monique Lhuillier, custom designed for Molly. Lucky gal.
This looks a lot more like a Bachelor/Bachelorette reunion special than a wedding. Though I suspect you're much more willing to put up with things like that when the network is footing the bill.
Quick note: a little boy is mysteriously absent from all of these photos. Wondering why. I certainly hope this isn't the case, but I've been to a wedding where the child of one partner was kept from attending her father's wedding to a new bride, due to obviously unresolved issues between the groom and former partner. Let's hope something else is at work here. Maybe he was just napping?

From NewsDurhamRegion.com:
Ajax man helps stomp the stigma about mental health issues
DURHAM — For years, shame and fear led Ajax's Ben Verboom to inadvertently contribute to the stigma surrounding mental illness.
A graduate of Archbishop Denis O'Connor Catholic High School, Mr. Verboom grew up with two loving parents and siblings, but that all changed when, in Grade 9, he came home from school to find police cars waiting.
"I had no idea why they were there," Mr. Verboom said to an audience of Durham high school students attending a Stomping Out Stigma summit recently.
The event is held annually at Whitby's Ontario Shores mental health centre in partnership with the Talking About Mental Illness Coalition of Durham. Its intent is to raise awareness and stomp out the stigma surrounding mental illness.
For Mr. Verboom, it was the suicide of his father that brought the police to his house that day. His father had been found dead in a car with a bullet in his head which was almost certainly self-inflicted, Mr. Verboom said.
"The loss and grief and anger associated with losing a young parent is one thing," he said.
But add to that the confusion of it being caused by suicide and he didn't know what to do, he said.
For five years he stayed silent about it — his friends knew his dad had died but didn't know it was by suicide.
"I later learned he suffered from depressions for years — I didn't know this," he said.
Now aged 20 and in his third year at the University of Toronto, Mr. Verboom has been exposed to courses about mental illness and met others affected. He's discovered how prevalent it is but one of the things that stopped him from talking about it sooner was the stigma attached.
"I have never experienced suicidal feelings," Mr. Verboom said. "I really had trouble trying to relate to people who have suicidal tendencies or depression; I still do."
To help alleviate some of that stigma, he followed in his father's bike tracks this past summer and hit the road in a Cycle to Help for suicide awareness.
Cycling was an activity the two had shared together. In 2001, his father Tim Verboom even rode his bike to New York to raise money for the Red Cross following 9/11.
For Mr. Verboom's campaign, he rode from Newfoundland to British Columbia — about 8,000 kilometres — in just 89 days on the bike his dad rode to New York. He also went public with everything surrounding his father's death.
"I'll always be a little bit confused about it and (have) unanswered questions no one but him could answer … but it has been a healing process talking about it," he said following his speech.
"For years I was contributing to the stigma because I was afraid and ashamed to talk about it," he said.
By approaching the subject with compassion, he's hoping to help people be more understanding and prevent more people from committing suicide.
"No shame and that's how we're going to decrease the stigma," he added.
For his efforts, Mr. Verboom received the TAMI's Barb Hiff Memorial Bursary for $500, created in honour of the late member.
In tears, her daughter Danielle Wilson embraced Mr. Verboom following his speech.
"I just want to say thank you," Ms. Wilson said. "My mother would be so honoured the first award went to someone like you."
Ms. Wilson has bipolar and has often felt the impact of the stigma associated with mental illness.
High school students who participated in the summit received a tool kit to help them organize events of their own to help stomp out stigma and increase awareness in their school.

A bottle of red food color is the secret to classic red velvet cake. Cake mix makes this version foolproof, moist and delicious.
Red velvet cake has been popular in the southern U.S. since the early 1900s.
If you're serving ice cream, try vanilla ice cream with red candy sprinkles or a drizzle of grenadine syrup.
SuperMoist® devil's food cake mix can also be used for dark red velvet cupcakes; omit cocoa.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Ole Miss couldn't afford to ponder its NCAA tournament chances. First, the Rebels had to worry about getting a good seed for the SEC Tournament.
They've done just that and will open play in Nashville on Friday as the No. 3 seed. But it's no secret Ole Miss (23-8, 12-6 SEC) needs some more wins to assure itself a spot in the Big Dance.
Jerry Palm, a bracket analyst for CBSSports.com, does not include Ole Miss in his latest mock bracket, listing them among his "first four out." ESPN.com reporter Eamonn Brennan wrote that for the Rebels, "One win won't get it done."
But with a high SEC Tournament seed, Ole Miss is in good position to make a run and make a strong case for itself.
"With a couple of losses we put ourselves in harm's way, and we realized that," seventh-year head coach Andy Kennedy said. "We can still control our own destiny when there are opportunities. For us, that was the focus, to finish the season on the right note and get the top-four seed."
After suffering a stunning setback at Mississippi State on March 2, the Rebels beat Alabama and LSU last week. So now they have a double-bye and will play either Missouri, Auburn or Texas A&M on Friday.
Mizzou, the No. 6 seed, plays the Auburn-A&M winner on Thursday.
Ole Miss is entering the SEC Tournament trying not to think about how much work it must do to earn an NCAA bid.
"We're not even worrying about that," guard Jarvis Summers said. "We're just going to take one game at a time and just play hard."
There isn't nearly as much on the line for Mississippi State (9-21, 4-14), but finishing the season on a high note is important to this team. The Bulldogs have won two of their last three games and will open play in Nashville on Wednesday as the No. 13 seed versus No. 12 South Carolina.
MSU has dealt with offseason attrition, injuries and suspensions. Four players are currently on the bench with knee injuries, and only six scholarship players are available to play.
First-year coach Rick Ray is glad to see his young team finally get some payoff for sticking it out.
"I don't know if you see it on the court, but our kids play hard, and they do it every day in practice. It's to (the point of) exhaustion," Ray said following Saturday's 74-71 overtime win over Auburn.
"You want to see those guys go out and have some sort of success with how hard they play in practice and how hard they play in the games."

The RE Audio SEX12D4 is one of the best sounding subwoofers I have ever heard. Seriously, this sub is incredible. At first I was a little skeptical about it. I had heard really good reviews about the sub, but I couldn't get over the low price. I guess this subwoofer is in the same class as the Alpine Type-R, Kicker CVX, Rockford Fosgate P3, Pioneer Champion Pro, MTX Thunder 8500, etc… BUT I think it sound SO much better! The RE Audio SEX woofer plays LOUD. Right now I have it in a vented enclosure tuned at approximately 32 Hz and it is hands down the best sounding subwoofer I have had in my car. No matter what type of music I am listening to, it sounds great. When I'm testing my system with some Eagles – Hotel California (live version of course), the bass is the perfect amount to compliment the speakers. Not too overbearing, but just enough punch. When I put on some Hip Hop, the bass notes hit deep and I can feel the bass. This sub will sound great with all genres of music.
It has some serious excursion too. I put on the Bass Mekanik – Sonic Overload CD and really tested the bass. I was really impressed. The sub was flying all over the place! Sounded much better than the several subwoofers that have been in the car before it. Don't want to say specifically which subs it sounded better than (hint: read above), but this is definitely sounded better, and not just for SPL. I have found that the RE Audio SEX 12" sub is great for SQ as well. Currently, I have it hooked up to a Kicker 750.1 amp that stated 925 watts RMS on the birth sheet. So even if the amp is just giving the sub 750 watts RMS, this sub is still running smooth. Even though they state 600 RMS, just bring the gains down and you can hook it up to amp that put out a lot more power. Probably the safest bet to hook it up to a perfectly matched 600-watt car amplifier.
Overall, I am 100% impressed and converted to RE Audio subs. For the price that Sonic Electronix has, you can't go wrong. This is bass that I would expect to spend $400-500. Plus, I love the look of the cone. Just a simple black inverted dome with the RE logo. Simple and cool.

He has very extreme beliefs regarding the role of debt, but considering how many Americans have extreme problems managing debt I think the more people that listen to him the better.
the only entertainment for someone who is not a financial dumbass is to be amused listening to people that are financial dumbasses (75% of the show).
no shit??? of course it is, would you rather hear a bunch of millionaires call in talking about how they have no debt and have never been in financial trouble??
Don't know why you aimed quote at me, I never said that. But in response to your quote, I would absolutely gain more from from millionaires calling in about what they did to become millionaires, as the formula for becoming poor is pretty tried and true.
i dont agree that you should never eat out
hes like the hardcore douche at the gym who says you should never eat a carb or dairy
I think he's like a nutritionist who tells people to quit eating junk food, eat vegetables/lean protein/less fat. Of course most people would lose weight on that diet.
Not everyone has a phd in economics like the resident experts on this board. Dave is good advice for over 90 percent.
Most of us who worked in the financial industry recognize that Ramsey isn't bad. Not optimal, but not bad. Basically he follows a Keep it Simple Stupid philosophy that is effective and better than doing nothing. Although his stuff is very very basic if you're looking for a "quit fricking up badly" philosophy Ramsey's advice is solid, sort of like the advice of a good high school coach.
The interesting thing is that unlike some other personal finance gurus he is aware and admits that his advice isn't perfect, but is simple and designed to just keep people from fricking up too much. There are lots of people who need this and he does a fine job of it for that audience.

The serious offense involved a redshirt freshman named James Ryan Norris, an offensive lineman who checks in at 6-5, 305 pounds — plenty big enough to subdue two young female college students at the same time, which Norris now stands accused of doing. Police answered a call at the notorious (more on that in a moment) Boling Apartments at 12:25 am on November 3 and found two women who accused the player of sexual assault — one said that Norris "forced himself" on her, the other said he "fondled" her. Norris was quickly rung up on charges of rape and sexual assault, then released on a $30,000 bond.
If Boling rings a bell, two years ago, six UTC football players were arrested for rape after an incident at the same apartment complex. In October 2005, a woman claimed that all six men raped her, but in January 2006 the case was thrown out of court for lack of evidence after the woman admitted to having been drunk on the night in question. (Apparently, in Tennessee that's enough to prove consent to sex with six hulking football players.)
Meanwhile, just days before the Norris arrest, another UTC offensive lineman, Robbie Elliott, was arrested after police undertook a fugitive-warrant sweep in Elliott's dorm. The cops discovered that he had not filed the proper paperwork after the completion of a community-service sentence he incurred this past year. Elliott had been sentenced in conjunction with a domestic-violence case, the details of which have not been released because the case is somehow still "ongoing."
Give Norris 90 points — a rape and sexual assault are about as serious crimes as we've had this year.
O-lineman special report: Phoenix
Some things just go beyond bad taste, such as smoking crack in a booth at an adult bookstore. I mean, you can blow a total stranger in there, or jerk off onto the carpet, but smoking crack? Hey, a businessman's gotta have standards.
So spaketh a central Phoenix porn-shop proprietor this past week, after calling in the police to bust former St. Louis/Phoenix Cardinal Pro Bowl offensive lineman Luis Sharpe, whom he said was behaving suspiciously in his store. Sharpe was born in Cuba and was nearly deported there in 2000 after finishing a stretch in Perryville prison for drug charges. At that time, he vowed to clean up his life, which convinced the courts to exercise some leniency and let him stay in the country.
Unfortunately, the gesture didn't stick. The former NFL great — injuries ended his career in 1994 — has been in numerous scrapes, including an August felony bust involving a bar fight. He's also been shot and was forced to do time in a substance-abuse program. On top of that was the tragedy that befell Sharpe shortly before his August arrest; his 23-year-old daughter, Leah, was shot dead and dumped in an alley in Phoenix. Sharpe went on TV and made a public appeal to his daughter's killer, promising to track him down. But the girl's murder was never solved.

Sheriff Wiggins should be highly commended for standing firm on a commitment he made to all of us when he was sworn in. Personally, I am happy to have a good sheriff who will stand up and defend our Constitution.
I was disappointed by one office holder who also was sworn in to office (under the same oath) but undermined the Constitution with one of the first votes she cast.
