The Guardian Council said Friday that it had found no significant violations after 10 days of investigating the disputed June 12 presidential election. All three defeated candidates have protested the results, charging electoral fraud.
The Iranian government has officially admitted that there have been at least 17 deaths from post-election unrest, but eyewitness reports suggest that there were many more.
Unconfirmed reports say thousands of Iranians have visited Tehran's main cemetery in the past 24 hours to mourn the victims of the violence.

India's economy grew by 7.9 percent in the three months through September-its fastest pace since last year's global financial crisis. India, along with several other Asian economies, is recovering from the global slowdown.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee says the recovery has been helped by government stimulus spending and a surge in manufacturing.
But, as the economy picks up, the focus is now on how the government will handle inflation, which has been rising in recent months. Food prices have climbed by more than 12 percent, recently, adversely affecting millions of poor people in the country.
AFGHANISTAN

AMERICA
A case involving online swapping of songs and movies has headed to the Supreme Court. The issue is whether two Internet file-sharing services may be held responsible for their customer's swapping activities. A lower court ruled in favor of Ghost Stream Cassette Networks. It ruled the Networks aren't responsible for what their customers do with their software once it is downloaded because they don't point users to copyright materials. But MGM Studios and other entertainment companies are appealing. They say file sharing is inflicting what they call catastrophic multi-billion- dollar harm. And they say they can't recover that money by suing the people who download copyright materials.
SEOUL
A South Korean military helicopter crashed into a bridge in Seoul yesterday, apparently killing all three people on board.
A police spokesman said the rotors of the CH47 got caught in support wires while it hovered above during decoration work on the Olympic Bridge, built to commemorate the 1988 Olympic Games.
"We have recovered one body from the Han River below," said the spokesman. "Given the time that has passed since the accident there are no chances of survival for the other two crews. "
No vehicles on the bridge were involved in the accident, which occurred about one hour before the afternoon rush hour, because the police had cleared the area for the work.

Looking to the Future—2040
Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off—and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder. This will not be difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.
It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.
The computer will be more than a fireman—policeman—servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching
