Obama welcomes Iran’s release of U.S. hiker

WASHINGTON: U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday welcomed Iran’s release of American hiker Sarah Shourd and said he remained hopeful that Tehran would demonstrate “renewed compassion” by freeing two other Americans.

American Sarah Shourd was released after more than a year in prison in Iran, television reports in the country claimed.

“Iran has released US national Sarah Shourd,” flashed a banner on Press TV.

Ms Shourd, 32, with fellow Americans Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, were apprehended by Iranian security forces near the border with northern Iraq on July 2009. They have been accused of spying.

Iran’s judiciary granted 500,000 US dollars (£324,400) bail for Ms Shourd on Sunday for health reasons, though her family had said they could not afford it and the US said it would not pay it.

Ms Shourd’s mother said her daughter has been denied

I Wish It Was Christmas Today

I Wish It Was Christmas Today, I was going to write a post tied into the video of Julian Casablancas performing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon about how I get really nervous to see his live performances.

Bobby Mcferrin

Bobby Mcferrin, What’s the latest about Bobby Mcferrin? He is a very good singer and most people love to hear him sing wonderful melodies.

The “Let’s Help Out ‘Men of a Certain Age’” miniseason of “The Closer” (TNT, 9 p.m.) ends. Mary McDonnell returns as Captain Raydor, the self-righteous cop we love to hate — this time she’s asking for Brenda’s help (sort of) in an investigation involving a female officer who appears to have been abused.

No, it’s not the lineup for a death-metal concert: it’s the three a cappella groups with a shot at the $100,000 top prize in the finale of “The Sing-Off“ (NBC, 8 p.m.). Boyz II Men, Smokey Robinson and the high priest of pop a cappella, Bobby McFerrin, will also perform.
