FILE - This 1988 file photo provided by Bobby Lee shows Kenneth Bae, right, and Bobby Lee together when they were freshmen students at the University of Oregon. North Korea says a Kenneth Bae, who was sentenced to 15 years' hard labour, smuggled in unspecified inflammatory literature and tried to establish a base for anti-Pyongyang activities at a hotel in the border city of Rason. The statement late Thursday, May 9, 2013 from an unidentified Supreme Court spokesman, provides the most in-depth look so far of Pyongyang's allegations against Kenneth Bae. Analysts say Pyongyang may be using Bae as bait to gain direct talks with Washington. (AP Photo/The Register-Guard, Bobby Lee, File)

FILE - This is a Saturday, April 17, 2010 file photo of the volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier sends ash into the air .The Icelandic volcano that has kept much of Europe land-bound is far from finished spitting out its grit, and offered up new mini-eruptions Saturday that raise concerns about longer-term damage to world air travel and trade. Budget airline easyJet PLC said Thursday May 19, 2013 it has acquired a ton of ash from Icelandic volcanoes for use in an experiment to test ash detection technology. The U.K.-based carrier says the experiment aims to minimize the impact of events like the 2010 volcanic eruption in Iceland, when air travel was crippled and millions of passengers were left stranded for days because the ash cloud was considered too dangerous to fly through.

In this picture taken on Tuesday, May 6, 2013, Iranian clerics gather at the Masoumieh seminary in the eastern city of Birjand, Iran. When struggling families in the eastern Iranian city of Birjand take measure of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's presidency in its waning weeks, it's not about his browbeating oratory against the West or his battles with Iran's ruling clerics. Instead, it's the rows of simple two-story homes on the city's outskirts that sharply improved their lives. (AP Photo/Vahid Salemi)
