An Iranian court has sentenced Iranian-American freelance journalist Roxana Saberi to eight years in jail on charges of spying for the United States. Irans judiciary chief has ordered a quick and fair appeal. Saberi, a 31-year-old dual American-Iranian citizen, was arrested in late January and initially accused of working without press credentials.
I ran into Jim Voiles yesterday in the produce section at Schnucks in Pekin. We went to school together some 35 years ago. We probably talked for an hour or more. It was enjoyable but I managed to forget about half of the stuff I was going to buy. Especially the strawberry licorice Tracey had requested. I should probably go back to the store today but I dont know it is awfully rainy and nasty out there.
