Nonviolence and Democratic Governance By: Dr. Ramin Jahanbegloo
The past half –century has witnessed an unprecedented flowering of nonviolent experiences around the globe. In many areas of the world, such as Latin America and Asia, where armed struggle was once seen as the only path to freedom, nonviolent campaigns are now considered as institutionalized methods of struggle for democratic invention and democratic governance.

Iran
opens up notorious Evin prison for tour By Edmund Blair
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran opened the large steel doors of its notorious Evin prison to journalists on Tuesday, showing off spruced-up women's cells and a well-equipped clinic in a move aimed at countering criticism about poor conditions.

Parisa Damandan is an Iranian photographer who has surprised the Dutch public twice before with eyecatching exhibitions, one about Polish refugees that fled to Iran during World War II, and one about unveiled women in the days of traditional Persia. Anyone that has visited the exhibitions can see that Parisa has a knack of finding 'gold' (and knows it).
Perhaps nowhere is the standoff over Iran's nuclear enrichment program followed more closely than in Los Angeles' Iranian-American community. Known as Tehrangeles, it's the biggest community of Iranians outside Iran. Can't call this "Profiling": Interesting point of view

80th birthday! Movie Ferdowsi bio "Poetry and Sword" ready for screening Payvand.com TEHRAN, June 24 (Mehr News Agency) -- The film "Poetry and Sword", which is a biography of Ferdowsi by Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Nurizad, is now ready for screening.
Nurizad told MNA on Saturday that the film tells the life story of Hakim Abolqassem Ferdowsi from his childhood to his death, focusing on his pain, suffering, misery, and poverty. "Ferdowsi was a rich man but gradually became poor by beginning to write his epic Shahnameh," he stated. On why he chose this theme, he said, "Ferdowsi is undoubtedly at the peak of Persian poetry and literature. He is not only a great figure in Persian literature, but a world figure in letters. Today's literature is rooted in Ferdowsi's literature." He emphasized that Persian traditional literature is a good source for indigenous Iranian screenplays, which can communicate with the audience when made into movies, adding that Iranian cinema needs to make use of this rich source in order to produce distinctive works. The cast of "Poetry and Sword" includes Parvaneh Masumi, Hamid Taj-Dolati, Anushirvan Arjmand, Sara Soltani, Ali Taleblu, and Reza Tavakkoli. Darius Kadivar: There have been alot of similar announcments in the Iranian Press in the past few years and some have been false announcments just to draw attention. There were several aborted projects on Hafiz and Rumi so I will only believe it when I see it. Heiress Olivia:Sipping tea with Hollywood royalty (LA TIMES) By DAVID THOMSON

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) -- Andre Agassi's voice wavered and his eyes welled up. After years of dealing with injuries, after months of contemplation, he finally spoke the words he knew he had to, at the place he knew he had to. Turning what was expected to be a routine pre-Wimbledon news conference into something significant, Agassi announced Saturday he will retire after this year's U.S. Open, leaving tennis after two decades during which he collected a career Grand Slam and morphed from an "Image Is Everything" youngster to elder statesman.

Clearing the path for US war on Iran
