SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - A Louisiana-born welterweight mixed martial arts fighter has died while training at an Arizona gym for an upcoming match.

KPHO-TV reports that 33-year-old Sam Young died this week after he collapsed at Keep Punching gym in Scottsdale. Authorities say the father of two was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

The Maricopa County Medical Examiner has not yet determined the cause of his death and could not say if his training or fighting were a contributing factor in his death.

Young, whose nickname was "the Sandman," was also a personal trainer at Maximum Fitness and the Keep Punching gyms, both in Scottsdale.

Michael King is a manager at the newly-opened, Keep Punching and one of Young's close friends, called the death shocking.

Iran woman ( 99-year-old woman from Iran becomes US citizen )

 Saturday, 27 July 2013   

In nearly a century since her Iranian birth, Khatoun Khoykani has lived through revolutions and world wars.

Mohabat News - Now, 15 years after moving to the United States, the 99-year-old can add to the list the unlikely experience of becoming a U.S. citizen.

Khoykani joined about 3,700 other people on Friday for a naturalization ceremony at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

"I'm so excited, I can't even think," Khoykani said in Farsi.

The moment marked a rare achievement as Khoykani became the oldest person this year to join the small group of naturalized citizens in the Los Angeles area who are over 95, said Claire Nicholson, who represents the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Los Angeles.

Only 27 people older than 100 have become citizens in the past 50 years in the U.S., the agency said.

"You have to commend this woman. It's pretty remarkable," Nicholson said "We don't get too many people her age."

The oldest person to become a citizen was Manik Bokchalian, a Turkish immigrant who lived in Los Angeles. She was 117 when she took the oath in 1997, Nicholson said.

During the Pledge of Allegiance, Khoykani's daughter helped her mother from a wheelchair and watched intently as she placed her hand over her heart.

"When I was little, my mom always talked about coming to America," Clara Khachadurian said. "We're so happy for her."

Khoykani had dreamed of moving to the U.S. since her grandfather boasted about the country when she was a child.

She came to this country in 1998 to be with her three children, who had left Iran nearly 30 years ago. Four years ago, she almost missed a chance at citizenship.

When she was 93, Khoykani's husband was diagnosed with brain cancer, and she went back to Iran to take care of him. When he died in 2009, she wanted to return to the U.S., but the government attempted to revoke her green card because she had been gone longer than six months.

Khachadurian traveled to Iran and was able to bring her mother back to Los Angeles after a lengthy legal process.

Despite the tumultuous experience, there was no sign of stress during Friday's festivities.

"I'm shaking because I'm so happy," Khoykani said as she wiped away tears of joy. "There's no place like this in the entire world." / Source:  The Associated Press

Iran Tehran ( Cyber police - Close down 67 Internet cafes in Tehran in a Week to control people ) ?

inShare0

NCRI - The Iranian regime's Cyber Police have shut down 67 Internet cafes in Tehran in a week as the regime tightens its control over people's freedom online.
Tehran police chief Hossein Sajedinia said 352 cafés were inspected in the latest draconian clampdown on the Internet.
He told the state-run news INSA agency: "According to a plan implemented during the past week, agents in charge of supervision of public places in Tehran inspected 352 Internet Cafés and as a result 67 were shut down due to violations by the owners and a number of others received a warnings of closure.
"Many internet cafes are trying to damage young people and families by offering illegal services and it is the responsibility of police to deal with the violators.
"Following repeated violations by various businesses and many cases prepared by the cyber-police in Tehran, a plan for dealing with illegal Internet cafes and those violating law has been implemented.
Sajedinia did not elaborate that what those violations has been.
The plan to set up a Cyber Police division was announced in 2009 by country's Police Chief Brigadier General Esmail Ahmadi-Moqaddam to counter 'internet crimes', and the Iranian Cyber Police (FATA) was founded in January 2011.
Ahmadi-Moqaddam said at the time: "The Cyber Police will tackle anti-revolutionary and dissident groups who used Internet-based social networks in 2009 to trigger protests."
In January 2012, the Cyber Police issued new guidelines for Internet cafés, requiring users to provide personal information that would be kept by café owners for six months, as well as a record of the websites they visited.
The rules also require café owners to install closed-circuit television cameras and maintain the recordings for six months.
Meanwhile, the use of VPNs and other technology that allows users to circumvent internet blocking is also forbidden in internet cafés.
