In this picture taken on Monday, May 5, 2013, an Iranian woman walks in the Dohol Kouh district where the Mehr Housing Project is being built, 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)
