Tehran demonstrations

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Supporters of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his main political rival attended demonstrations at separate locations in Tehran on Tuesday amid continuing unrest and street protests over last week's presidential election.
Iran's Guardian Council met with the three opposition candidates -- Moussavi, Mehdi Karrubi and Mohsen Rezaie -- and asked them to specify the areas where they wanted a recount, a council spokesman told the official Islamic Republic News Agency.

Moussavi rejected the recount, according to an official close to his camp, demanding fresh elections and accusing the country's religious elite of trying to further manipulate the outcome of the original vote.

A former Iranian parliamentary speaker, addressing the pro-Ahmadinejad rally, called on Moussavi to accept defeat.


First Post

Currently, I work for a health care technology company that installs computerized systems in hospitals. My job is training nurses how to use the computer to chart their patient care. This job has taught me that three o'clock comes twice a day! I have been all over the United States as a result of my job. My last trip was to a hospital outside of Chicago. My upcoming installs will be in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Minnesota. (and that is just in one month!) I really like my job. However, I do question this when I am sitting in an airport after working the night shift and the airplane is delayed.
