Well my friend I suggest you double and triple check your 
sources on this.  Dr. Lotfi A. Zadeh was born of Iranian
parents (jounalists at the time serving in the former
Soviet Union), and has his Bachelor of Science Degree in
Electrical Engineering from the University of Tehran, 
obtained in the 1940's.   He is a citizen of Iran and
the United States.  I have personally talked to him and
find him a true gentleman as well as a distinguished
scientist.  It is important to note that in the field
of Electrical Engineering there are only two scientists who 
single handedly initiated a new field and are still alive:
Claude Shannon (Communication Theory) and  Lotfi Zadeh (
Fuzzy Set Theory).

He is a credit to Iran and the world.

It's getting HUGE. Frankly, I haven't had a chance to work on it in
the past few days. We are looking through SCI articles from day 1 to
extract useful stuff and put it together. In addition, kind netters

From what I have seen in the past 4 years, there are 4 to 8 really good
teams from all over U.S. The rest are either decent or poor. But don't
let the level competetion stop you from participating. These games are
alot of fun to participate in and watch. Last year they tried to have
a senior division also, which did not work out and they ended up playing
in the same devision. The average age is somewhere from 27-30.

You see some EX-professional players as well as some pro players.
As far as the fee, it started at $350.00 in the first year and
it jump to $750.00 last year. I think the fee is around $400.00
this year.  Just for the record, San Diego has won 2 out of 4
championship.  Los Angeles has couple of top quality teams.

Last year a team from England almost participated in this 
tournament.

Organization: Stanford University

Hi,

Just got this note from UPI:

Asghar Muhammad of Pakistan was surprised to find himself alone when
he climbed into the ring for his 178-pound (81 kg) bout with Ali
Kazemi of Iran. Kazemi finally climbed through the ropes -- minus
gloves -- just as his three-minute grace period was expiring. He
motioned for his handlers to join him in the ring, hoping he would be
allowed to glove and fight. But the time limit was enforced and he was
disqualified.

A ringside observer said Kazemi told officials he missed his bus,
reminiscent of U.S. middleweight Anthony Hembrick in 1988. Hembrick
was also disqualified after arriving late at the arena because he
missed his bus.

No, we earned 532 million dollars.
532,000,000 * 70= -------- rials  (official rate)
532,000,000 * 1400= -------- rials  (floating rate)

and according to the five-year-plan it should be something around 5000
million dollars for this year.

Do you have any ideas on why she committed suicide?  You
seem to imply parallels between your residence in Pakistan and hers.
