As soon as the spring comes, Leona puts on some nice clothes and goes in the woods to pick up a bunch of flowers. Her personal favorites are dandelions, and now is exactly the time when dandelions bloom. Take a look at the cute dresses, tops and skirts inside Leona's wardrobe and try to come up with a nice spring outfit for her.

Rockspring Capital buying land in Northeast San Antonio for subdivision expansion
- James Aldridge
- Web Editor- San Antonio Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
Rockspring Capital, a privately owned real estate investment firm, has purchased a 108-acre parcel in San Antonio's Notting Hill subdivision.
The tract of land is located in Northeast San Antonio, just north of Interstate 10 at the intersection of FM 1516 and Weichold Road. Houston-based Rockspring plans to invest several million dollars to prepare the subdivision's 515 residential lots for homebuilders.
"Well-located property like this is in high demand because of the shrinking inventory of residential lots in areas like San Antonio. A number of excellent homebuilders have already approached us to start building on the land, as adjoining subdivisions are almost sold out," says Jim McAlister IV, president and CEO of Rockspring Capital. "We expect this investment will allow our investors to quickly realize an attractive cash-flow return, as we plan to sell off the finished lots to homebuilders soon."
Rockspring Capital is a Houston-based land investment company that targets properties throughout Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio.

Nazem Kadri's knee injury opens door for fellow Leafs prospect Matt Frattin
Sep 29, 2011, 4:11 PM EDT
Teammates will do almost anything to help each other out, but Leafs prospect Nazem Kadri is doing so in a painful way. Kadri will be out for up to a month with a knee sprain suffered against Ottawa on Tuesday night. The 2009 first round pick was looking to break out this season as a full-time starter for Toronto but now that potential breakout will be put on hold.
On the flip side of that, Kadri's knee injury opens the door for new Leafs prospect Matt Frattin to show he can cut it in the NHL. Frattin is the Hobey Baker Award finalist from North Dakota who signed with Toronto after completing play in the NCAA back in the spring. Frattin was an electric goal scorer for the Fighting Sioux but in Toronto he'll get to be a net-crashing forward on the third or fourth line.
It's an unfortunate setback for Kadri as Leafs fans have been hoping to see him get his chance to fully bust out on a nightly basis in the NHL, but it's a tremendous opportunity for Frattin to show what he's got against NHL competition. At 23 years-old after spending all four years at North Dakota, he's a rookie but an older, more experienced one.

Crawdaddy! was the first U.S. magazine of rock music criticism. Dawning before the rise of both Rolling Stone and Creem magazines, Crawdaddy! was conceived by a 17-year-old Paul Williams in his dorm room at Swarthmore College. Crawdaddy! caught on quickly and grew from a fanzine to a full-fledged magazine with newsstand distribution. It is remembered by many as the true voice of rock 'n' roll.

Russia to continue offensive arms to balance U.S. shield - Putin
Topic: START: Russia-U.S. nuclear talks
Related News
Russia will continue developing offensive armaments to counter U.S. missile defenses, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin told reporters on Tuesday.
"We must continue developing offensive systems," the prime minister said in Vladivostok, adding that it will help "preserve a strategic balance" with the United States which, unlike Russia, is sticking to its missile shield program.
"If we want to exchange information, let the U.S. share its information on missile defense and we will provide information on offensive weapons," he said.
Putin described talks with the U.S. on a new strategic offensive arms reduction treaty as "positive."
The START 1 treaty expired on December 5. The new treaty is expected to be signed in early 2010.
Putin said the treaty should contain "certain rules on arms reduction," which should be "equally understood, easily tested and transparent."
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama announced at their first meeting in April that the countries would replace the START I treaty as part of their efforts to "reset" bilateral ties.
The treaty's outline agreed by the presidents included cutting nuclear arsenals to 1,500-1,675 operational warheads and delivery vehicles to 500-1,000.

Cannot say enough good things about the hotel. Very modern and luxurious feel. Staff goes above and beyond. When we checked in the valet notice our golf clubs, asked where we were going to play and then took upon himself to print out directions and delivery them to the room. When we need a small conference room for a meeting, they had nothing available so they opened up the wine bar for us to have a place to work.

text: CSCI 1100 Lab Image processing with Paint and Paint.NET Part I: Simple Image Editing with Paint 1. For simple images and line drawings, the built-in Paint program is adequate. To launch Paint, go to the Start button, choose Programs, then the Accessories program group and launch Paint. Alternatively, if you search for the program, be sure to choose Paint and not Paint.NET. 2. You should see an initial blank canvas and a set of toolbars. If the program does not open full screen, you may not be able to see the entire canvas (notice the scroll bars, indicating this very fact), so grab the corner of the window and drag it until all of the canvas is visible (or until both scroll bars disappear). 3. If you'd like to make your canvas larger, carefully grab the lower right corner of the canvas with your mouse. When you see a double-headed diagonal arrow, you can drag and drop to resize the image. Grab here to resize the canvas. Grab here to resize the window. 4. Now let's try some of the basic drawing tools. Click on the Pencil tool and draw some freehand shapes in the canvas. Now try Edit/Undo to erase the shape you just made. Note that Undo will only undo the changes you have made since the last time you released the mouse. 5. Click on several of the drawing icons such as Brush, Spray Can, and Eraser. Note that for many of these tools, a menu pops open below the toolbar with a selection of sub-options for the given tool. Experiment with a few of the tools and options. Submenu of options changes depending on the tool you select. 6. Try using the color palette to change the color of your drawing tools. Note that the color palette displays two colors: the foreground color and the background color. You can select a different foreground color by left clicking on a color palette square. To change the background color, right click on one of the color squares. 7. Select the Text tool , then draw out a square with your mouse in your image. This square will designate the area your text will go into. Notice that the text area is filled with whatever background you have selected, and the text color will be whatever foreground you have selected. Also a text toolbar pops up that will allow you to change the font family and size of the text. (If the text toolbar doesn't pop up, Choose View/Text Toolbar from the menu.) Try entering the text "Hey, I'm a graphic artist!" into the drawing. If the Text tool is still selected, you should be able to change the font, size, and formatting of the text you have just typed. When you are through, clicking outside the textbox will finalize your text. 8. Now use the Magnifying class tool to zoom into the drawing. Try using the Text tool again – you will find that you cannot enter text when the image is magnified. 9. Click on the Eraser tool . Try using the tool to erase parts of your drawing. You will find that with the image magnified, you can erase very fine details of the image. Notice that left clicking with the eraser replaces everything within the erasure square with the background color. Right clicking will replace any pixels of the foreground color with the background color. Check out the eraser palette shown at the bottom of the tool bar. Try clicking on the various sizes of erasers and erasing with them. 10. Another way to erase large areas of the image is to use the Select tool then press the Delete key. Try this. to select part of an image and 11. Use the Ellipse tool to draw some ellipses of various shapes. Now hold the Shift key down and use the Ellipse tool – it will always draw a perfect circle. Similarly, holding the Shift key down while you use the Rectangle tool will produce a perfect square. 12. We're probably making a big mess at this point, so select File/New to start over. You will be asked if you want to save your work; unless you are somehow charmed by these scribbles, click Don't Save. 13. Draw out a largish rectangle with the Rectangle tool . Left click to fill on a blue color in the color. Use the Fill With Color tool the entire rectangle with color. 14. Now left click on a yellow color from the color palette as the foreground color. Use the text tool again to draw a short message on the colored rectangle. You will find that the message appears with a white background and that it is almost impossible to read the text. We can do better! 15. Choose Edit/Undo to remove the unreadable text. Now select the Eyedropper tool , which allows you to select colors from the drawing. Right click on the blue area; this should select blue as the background color. You can see the foreground and background colors on the image color palette. Now use the text tool again to enter a message that should be much more readable this time. Rotating and skewing text 16. Use the Select tool to select just the text in the image. Now from the menu, use Image → Flip/Rotate → Flip Horizontal to reverse the text. Undo this, and try Image → Flip/Rotate → Flip Vertical. You will need to reselect the text for each new effect. 17. Try to make the image shown at right. To get the slanted effect, select the area around the text, and go to Image→Resize/Skew. In the Skew section, try several different degree values to skew it in the horizontal. 18. Clear the entire image by choosing File/New. Now use the Rectangle tool to draw a small colored rectangle anywhere in the screen use the Select tool to select it, then press Ctrl-C (hold the Ctrl key down while you press C). This key combination is the universal Windows key combo for "Copy." Press Ctrl-V to Paste the selection into the top left area of the image. While the copy is still highlighted, you can drag it with the mouse to any place on the screen. Use this trick to create a fleet of identical rectangles like this: 19. Click the Line tool . Try holding the Shift key down while you draw a line. You should find that this locks the line into being horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. 20. Try using the line tool, the Text tool, and the Fill tool to produce an image that looks something like the image below. 21. Save your masterpiece as PaintFun.bmp (change the Save as type: box to 24-Bit Bitmap). Part II: Image Manipulation with Paint.NET 1. Click Start, and in the Start Search box, type in Paint.NET. Paint.NET is an open source, free, photo editing software available for Windows. 2. From your Web browser, visit this site: http://veimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/1597/AS17-148-22727_lrg.jpg Rightclick on the beautiful Earth image and save the image to your I: drive as Earth.jpg. 3. Go to your I drive and locate the file Earth.jpg. Right-click the file and choose Properties. You will see that the file size is about 725 kilobytes. This is fine for images on your computer, but too large for a Web page (even on a cable modem or DSL, it would take several seconds to download). Let's see if we can shrink this image down to a more reasonable size. 4. From the Paint.NET File menu, open the file Earth.jpg. Paint.NET opens an image window containing the Earth graphic. Currently, the graphic is listed as the Background layer. This means we can draw stuff on top of it. 5. Right now the Earth image doesn't look so big, but notice in the top left hand corner of the screen that the image is actually zoomed to 33%. From the View menu, choose Zoom in until you get to 66%. Now you start to notice that we're dealing with a rather large image. 6. From the Image menu, choose Resize. The image size is 1881 by 1881 pixels. Notice the "Maintain aspect ratio" checkbox. This indicates that you cannot change the width or height without changing the other. To see why this is important, uncheck the "maintain aspect ratio" checkbox. Change the height to 600 pixels without changing the width. Click the OK button to implement the change. 7. Ouch! Somebody stepped on our planet! Use the Edit/Undo menu item to undo this change. 8. Go back to the Image menu and choose Resize again. This time, make sure the "Maintain aspect ratio" box is checked, then resize the height to 600 (the width changes automatically). The image will be smaller, but no longer squished. 9. The image should now fit in your screen, and notice in the top left hand corner that the Zoom is 100%. 10. From the Layer menu, choose Add New Layer. You should notice in the Layers window a new layer called Layer 2 (if you don't see your Layers window, from the Window menu, choose Layers). Let's change the name of the layer. Double click on Layer 2 and a Layer Properties window pops up. Give the new layer the name Lettering and select OK. This layer will hold letters that we plan to superimpose on the image. Note that the opacity is set to 255. FYI, if we scale this down, then our letters will be slightly see through. It's a pretty cool effect, but let's leave it at 255 for now. 11. Now there should be two layers listed in the Layers window, the Background layer and the Lettering layer. 12. Make sure that the Lettering layer is selected. Then from the Tools window choose the Text tool (see right). You enter text with the tool as follows: Use the text toolbar to choose the font size, font family, etc.; Click in the image where you want the text to appear (a blinking cursor will appear); Enter the text at the cursor. If you're not happy with the text's location, use the crosshairs box that appears below the text to move it (see below). 13. If we want to change the color of our text, we'll need the Colors window open. From the Window menu, choose Colors. Choose a red color for the primary color (so that our text will be red). Now, after selecting the text tool from the Tools menu, choose Arial font family and 16-point font-size. Label each of these regions on our Earth image (if you don't know where something is, Google search for it) (yes you have to do this… it's a good Geography refresher): South Africa, Madagascar, Antarctica, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Sahara Desert, Arabian Desert, Central Africa. Once you click off of the text, it's set. If you're not happy with one of your text labels, from the Edit menu, select undo (or use the shortcut Crtl+Z). 14. Look at your Layers window again. You will see tiny text in the Lettering layer on top of the checker board. These are tiny representations of the labels you just entered on the Earth. The check boxes next to the layers indicate which layers are visible. Try unchecking the Background layer. You see only the lettering layer is visible now. Check the Background layer again and bring the Earth back. 15. Now select the Background layer. From the Effects menu, try out the following filters. After each, use the Edit/Undo menu item to undo the filtering effect, however, you can see a preview of the effect on the image without applying it: Artistic/Oil Painting i. Play with the Coarseness and Brush size parameters and note their effects. Blurs/Zoom Blur i. Try increasing the zoom amount. ("It's coming right for us!") Distort/ Tile Reflection i. Play with the tile size for some different effects Photo/Glow Stylize/Relief As you see, there are a lot of effects! Later we will use these to create COOL lettering effects. 16. Click Effects, Distort, Bulge. Notice that the effect applies only to the Background layer. The lettering layers stay where they are. To change this, we must merge the layers so that they are all equally affected by the distortion effect. Undo (or cancel) the Bulge distortion effect. 17. From the Image menu, choose Flatten. This will merge our Lettering layer into the Background layer. The image looks the same, but look at the Layers window – there is now only one layer. 18. Click Effects, Distortion, and Bulge, and increase the bulge size to 88, but keep the center of the bulge at (0,0). Click OK to apply the bulge. This time the text labels are distorted along with their background. Pretty neat. 19. Save the file Earth.jpg. Part III: Basic Drawing with Paint.NET The Paint.NET provides all the basic drawing functionality you will find in Paint. However, sometimes you need to go through an extra step. To illustrate, let's create the simple campaign button, "Vote For FRED!" shown below. Note that although the image element on the page is rectangular, we see only the round button. To do this, we create an image with a transparent background color. Only the gif image format supports transparent backgrounds. 1. If you closed Paint.NET, reopen it. From the File menu, choose New and create a blank image with size 300 by 300 pixels. 2. From the Colors window, select a green color as your primary color. 3. From your Tools window, select the Ellipse tool 4. As seen at right, choose the "Draw Filled Shape" . option. 5. Draw out a perfect circle so that it fills most of the image. Be sure to hold down the Shift key to force the Paint.NET to draw a perfect circle. 6. Just as in the Paint exercise, we want to type text with a light color and a background that matches the solid circle. Use the arrows on the Colors window to switch the foreground and background colors. 7. Now use the Text tool to type out the message for the button. I used 48-point text, Arial font, center aligned. Use the crosshairs to move your text to an appropriate location in the button. 8. Select the Layers menu and choose Rotate/Zoom. Move the zoom window so that it does not cover up the Vote For Fred image. Play with the Roll / Rotate, Pan and Zoom options and see how they affect the image. Once you're through playing, choose the "Reset All" button. In the "Fine Tuning" section of the Rotate/Zoom window, in the Angle: box, enter 30 to rotate the text 30 degrees counterclockwise. 9. Now you will see our image rotated, revealing the transparent background color beneath which appears as a grey checkerboard pattern. Our next task is to make the entire exterior of the green circle into transparent background. 10. The first step is to color the exterior region with some other color than the white color of the button text. Go back to the Color palette and choose a red color as the primary color. 11. Use the Paint Bucket tool to change the white area outside the circle to red. 12. Now we will tell Paint.NET to change all the red color to transparent background. To select just the red region, we will use the Magic Wand tool , it will allow us to select the red region just as we used the Paint Bucket to fill it. Click on the Magic Wand then click in the red area in your image. Now that the red area is selected, from the Edit menu, choose Cut. (If it did not select the entire red region the first time, repeat for any of the red background remaining). The red color should all be replaced by the checkerboard color representing a transparent background, while the white text "Vote for FRED!" should still be visible. 13. From the File menu, choose Save As. Change the Save as type: to GIF, change the filename to Button.gif, and save the image to your I drive. In the Save Configuration window that pops up, leave all the default values the same and click OK. Remember that the GIF file type works on Web pages and also supports transparent backgrounds. 14. To see if the transparency works, we need to deploy the image on a Web page and detect whether you can see through the "transparent" parts. Use the blank webpage template from your HTML/CSS/JS Reference Guide and paste it into Notepad2. Use the IMG tag to insert your Button.gif image and using CSS, apply a dark background color to the BODY. Save the webpage as test.html in your I drive (in the same folder as your Button.gif image). When you view your simple webpage, you should see your button is a perfectly rounded circle, with the outside portion of the image taking on the color of the background. Part IV: Text art with Paint.NET 15. The Paint.NET is a good tool for creating cool effects and logos for your Web pages or other artistic projects. Use the File menu to create a New image. Set the image size to 600 pixels wide by 300 pixels high (uncheck the "maintain aspect ratio" if necessary). 16. Select a black background color and white foreground color in the Colors window.1 17. Now click the gradient tool on the Tools window. Click at the bottom of the window, hold down the shift key, and drag your mouse towards the top of the window so that you get a gradient like the one below. 18. Just so we don't accidentally make more gradients, select the Pan hand tool . 19. From the Layers menu, choose Add a New Layer. Double click on the new layer (Layer 2) in the Layers window to edit its properties. 20. In the Blending area of the properties window, set the Mode to Overlay then click OK. 1 These instructions came from the Paint.NET Tutorials Forum from author Tom Jackson (http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2728&sid=b47759d044a64708c1055cb1109606c2) 21. In the Effects menu, choose Render then Clouds. Set the Blend Mode here to Difference. 22. Click OK and you should get a cool cloudy image. The shortcut Ctrl+F repeats the last effect. Hit Ctrl + F as many times as you like until you get a cool black and white flames image like the one below. 23. From the Image menu, select Flatten to merge the layers into the Background. 24. From the Adjustments menu, choose Curves. 25. Under the Transfer Map choose RGB. 26. Uncheck the red and green check boxes so that you are only modifying the blue channel, then set a control point for blue like the one below. 27. Uncheck the blue checkbox and check the Green box. Set its control point like the one below. 28. Click the OK button on the Curves window. You should now have a cool flames background. You can use this effect for creating a cool logo for your webpage. 29. Feel free to edit the Curves → RGB settings to come up with your own cool colored flames, or you can try initializing it with different gradient types. 30. When you are through playing, save the result as Flames.pdn and change the save as type: to Paint.NET (*.pdn) 31. With any lab time remaining, you may work on your webpages which are due July 27th! Details for your webpage are the last item on the "laboratories" page on the course website.

News in Brief
Texas Business Group Pans Math Standards
The Texas Association of Business is urging the state board of education to go back to the drawing board on proposed new state academic standards in mathematics, which the 15-member state panel is expected to take up this week.
The standards are "far from in line with Texas' goal of raising educational standards; in fact, the currently proposed standards are actually worse and less rigorous than the Common Core [State] Standards," the association's president and chief executive officer, Bill Hammond, wrote in an April 9 letter to board members.
The state board gave preliminary approval to the revised math standards in January, then put them out for public comment. A press release from the Texas Education Agency said the revised standards drew from the state's existing standards "as well as math standards from Massachusetts, Minnesota, and international standards from places such as Singapore."
Texas is one of just four states that have not adopted the common-core standards in English/language arts and math. It chose instead to craft its own.

I have two bugs in my computer and I'm not an alcoholic
Terence Blacker
The writer and broadcaster Terence Blacker contributes a twice-weekly column on a wide range of social, cultural and environmental issues. He is the author of four novels, of prize-winning fiction for children, and has written a highly praised biography of the brilliant reprobate Willie Donaldson.
Tuesday 11 August 1998
"It's not a virus, it's a bug," I said. "I have got a real bug inside my computer."
Strangely, he didn't believe me. I told him how, on a dark muggy day in Suffolk, a plague of tiny thunderflies had appeared in the room where I was working.
They had been everywhere - on my desk, on the window, even on the screen of my lovely new Toshiba laptop. I had gently wiped the surface. One bug remained, wandering across the restful blue sky favoured by Toshiba for its desktop mode. There was no doubt about it; the bug was behind the screen. The next day, there it was again, moving north. When it finally passed away, the bug became an angry dot on the top right of my computer screen.
It wasn't possible, according to Simon. Nothing could survive the electric current carried behind the screen. He suggested that I spoke to Toshiba.
It took quite some time to get through, during which the Toshiba switchboard comforted me with a soundtrack of middle-of-the-road classics that included, rather appropriately I thought, kd lang's "Constant Craving".
"I've got a bug in my computer. It got in through the side, went walkabout for a while, then died."
"A bug."
"Yes. I rather like nature, as it happens. I just don't want it inside my laptop."
"I see."
"I'm not an alcoholic."
"And where exactly were you working?"
"In Suffolk. Presumably one is allowed to use a Toshiba outside London."
Ms Toshiba assured me that I was, but also that it was quite impossible for a bug to get behind the screen - unless, she added disapprovingly, the machine had been tampered with. I explained that, due to my deep respect for, and fear of, anything technical, I was not one of life's tamperers.
The next day, as Jonathan from Mastercare was telling me that, if the seal for the screen really were faulty then the water that was behind it would have leaked, something very exciting happened.
"There is another one!" I shouted. "This time on the left-hand side of the screen. A second bug!"
I noticed that Jonathan had become strangely quiet. "And I'm not an alcoholic," I said.
Jonathan admitted that there was a lot of interest in my machine at Mastercare. Nobody had heard of anything like this before. I felt obscurely proud, like a man with an interesting disease.
By now, my bugs played an mportant part in life. Friends rang to enquire as to their welfare. I told them how the second bug, Harry, had looked as if he was going to exit stage left but, with a perverse, heroic defiance, had turned, headed for the centre of the screen and expired. When the delivery man came to collect the computer, I showed him my bugs. He was terribly interested.
Two days later, Debbie from Mastercare rang with the news that the fault was covered by the guarantee. Faulty pixels, it was.
"Do pixels move about?" I asked. "Are they the same shape as a thunderfly? Do they live for a day, then die?"
Debbie passed me over to Peter, the engineer. Like all the Mastercare staff, he was polite and kind - but there was no doubt in his mind. It was true that pixels did none of the things I mentioned but sometimes, you know, your eyes played tricks on you.
"You're saying that for three days I've been imagining bugs behind my screen."
A sympathetic tone had entered Peter's voice. "I know that it might sound a bit rude," he replied gently, "but yeah."
So it's come to this. Either the staff at Mastercare and Toshiba are so absorbed in their technology that they cannot conceive of a small representative of the real, natural world disrupting it. Or Peter is right, and I'm as deluded as any UFO-crazed paranoiac.
"What was the first symptom?" they'll ask at some future date.
"He saw bugs in his computer."
"Oh dear, so sad."
I find myself considering career options. Others have written "Me and my cancer" or "Me and my divorce" columns; is the world ready for "Me and my dementia"?
It's possible, I suppose, that someone out there has a laptop with bugs inside. If there is, perhaps you could make yourself known. My sanity depends on it.

Three arrested over suspected 14-year art forgery scheme
Tuesday 09 November 2010
German prosecutors have arrested three suspected art forgers who are believed to be at the centre of a major scandal involving the sale of dozens of faked early 20th century expressionist paintings which have fetched up to half a million Euros apiece at top auction houses.
The case involves allegedly bogus works sold off by a German art dealer couple named as Wolfgang and Helene Beltracchi and her sister.
The three are currently being held in detention pending trial later this year following police raids on their homes last August which led to their arrest.
The trio are accused of systematically duping the art world over a period of 14 years. They are alleged to have supplied top auction houses with forged paintings they claimed were undiscovered works by famous artists, including the German expressionists Max Ernst and Heinrich Campendonk.
Der Spiegel magazine, which broke the story after being tipped off by Cologne state prosecutors, yesterday compared the case to Germany's Hitler Diaries scandal of the 1980s, when its rival, Stern magazine, was duped into publishing excerpts from faked diaries it believed were written by the infamous Nazi leader.
Helene Beltracchi is alleged to have started putting forged paintings on the market in 1995. She claimed that she had been left the works by her grandfather, Werner Jägers, who she maintained had bought them at the beginning of the Nazi era from his friend, the renowned Jewish art dealer Alfred Flechtheim.
The Beltracchis sold most of their paintings, claiming that they were from the Werner Jägers Collection.
However, subsequent investigations have shown that Jägers, who died in 1992, was a member of the Nazi party who had little interest in art and made his money in the construction industry. There is no evidence that he knew Flechtheim and neither his widow nor his business associates knew anything about an art collection.
Prosecutors say that the Beltracchis are suspected of putting a total of 34 faked paintings on the art market. They include an alleged forgery the couple claimed was by the expressionist Max Pechstein which was sold to a Swiss art dealer in 2003 for €498,000.
Art historians have since discovered that the work was most probably copied "one for one" from a small watercolour by the same artist entitled Reclining nude with a cat. They say a projector was almost certainly used to make the forgery.
The couple is believed to have put up an effective smokescreen by occasionally auctioning off paintings that were genuine originals. In 1998, for example, the Beltracchis sold the painting Le Havre Beach by the renowned French painter Raol Dufy at the Lempertz auction house in Cologne.
"For once it was a real one," confirmed Henrik Hansen, Lempertz's managing director.
However in 2006, the auction house was offered a painting by Helene Beltracchi's sister which was conclusively proven to be a forgery. The work named Red Picture with Horses was supposed to have been painted by the early 20th century Rheinisch expressionist artist, Heinrich Campendonk. It was sold to the Maltese company Trasteco at auction for €2.9m. But Trasteco became suspicious and commissioned two art historians to investigate.
Their findings concluded that the paint contained a colour which did not exist in 1914, when the work was said to have been completed. Proscecutors are now trying to establish how many of the paintings were faked and whether the Beltracchis were the forgers.

Palestinian Authority's Double Standards on Prisoners
Translations of this item:
The daily Al-Quds al-Arabi recently revealed that dozens of Palestinians have been held in Kuwaiti prisons since 1991. The families of these prisoners do not know anything about their conditions. The Palestinian Authority ambassador to Kuwait, Rami Tahboub, refused to comment on the plight of the prisoners there. Reached by phone, the ambassador first said he was busy with a meeting. He later stopped answering the phone.
As far as the Palestinian Authority leadership is concerned, the only "heroes" are those prisoners who are held in Israel. For the Palestinian Authority, Palestinians who are being tortured and killed in Arab prisons are not worth even a statement.
While the Palestinian Authority continues to demand the release of Palestinians from Israeli jails, it has long been ignoring the fact that thousands of Palestinians are languishing in prisons in several Arab countries.
The families of the prisoners held by Israel at least know where their sons are and most visit them on a regular basis.
But in the Arab world the story is completely different.
The daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi recently revealed that dozens of Palestinians have been held in Kuwaiti prisons since 1991. The families of these prisoners do not know anything about their conditions.
That Palestinians are being held in prison in an Arab country is not surprising. What is not understood is the Palestinian Authority's position.
According to the report, the Palestinian Authority has never approached the Kuwaitis concerning the fate of the prisoners.
Mohammed al-Udwan, the father of one of the Palestinians held in Kuwait for the past 25 years, said that he still does not know exactly where his son, Essam, is being held. He and other families complained that the Palestinian Authority has not done anything to help them.
The Palestinian Authority ambassador to Kuwait, Rami Tahboub, refused to comment on the plight of the prisoners there. Reached by phone, the ambassador first said he was busy with a meeting. He later stopped answering the phone.
Hassan Khraisheh, Deputy Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council in Ramallah, urged the emir of Kuwait to put an end to the "tragedy" of the Palestinian families whose sons are held in his prisons without trial.
Khraisheh called on the emir to inform the families whether their sons were still alive. "If they are dead," he added, "then we want confirmation and information where they are buried."
Kuwait expelled hundreds of thousands of Palestinians after U.S.-led coalition forces liberated the tiny oil-rich emirate in 1991. The move came in retaliation for the Palestinian Liberation Organization's [PLO] support for Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait a year earlier.

After liberation, the Kuwaitis also arrested many Palestinians on suspicion of collaboration with the Iraqi occupation army.
Recently, the Kuwaitis finally allowed the Palestinian Authority to reopen the Palestinian embassy in the emirate. The move came after Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas apologized for the PLO's support of Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait.
But the Palestinian Authority leadership is apparently too afraid to ask the Kuwaiti authorities about the Palestinians who went missing in the emirate during the past two decades. Abbas does not want to alienate the Kuwaitis; he is apparently hoping that they will resume financial aid to the Palestinians.
Two weeks ago, Abbas boasted that he had acted as a mediator to secure the release of nine Lebanese nationals abducted 17 months ago in Syria.
Abbas's announcement enraged families of Palestinian prisoners in Kuwait and other Arab countries. The families said that Abbas's top priority should have been to secure the release of Palestinians, and not Lebanese, from Syrian prisons.
Hundreds of Palestinians are held in various prisons in Syria, some for more than two decades. In the past year, at least two prisoners were reported to have died in Syrian and Egyptian prisons.
Again, the Palestinian Authority leadership has not even demanded an inquiry into the deaths or the continued incarceration of Palestinians in the Arab world.
A prominent Palestinian writer who spent three weeks in jail in Syria described the prisons there as "human slaughterhouses." Salameh Kaileh was arrested in April last year on suspicion of printing leaflets calling for the overthrow of Bashar Assad.
"It was hell on earth," Kaileh told Associated Press. "I felt I was going to die under the brutal, savage and continuous beating of the interrogators, who tied me to ropes hung from the ceiling."
For the Palestinian Authority, the plight of Palestinians in Arab prisons does not seem to be an important issue. As far as the Palestinian Authority leadership is concerned, the only "heroes" are those prisoners who are held in Israel. For the Palestinian Authority, the Palestinians who are being tortured and killed in Arab prisons are not worth even a statement.

Sorry to Remind You, but Golda Meir Was Right - Part III of IV
by Burak Bekdil
So in the EU-candidate Turkey, a pianist should be punished for his re-tweets, but a pop-singer should be congratulated for her first-class racist hate-speech. This is contagious.
No reporter present at Mr. Ihsanoglu's campaign launch speech thought about asking him if his commitment to the "Palestinian cause" included any affirmation of the Hamas Charter, in particular a section that says, "…The stones and trees will say, 'O Muslims, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.'"
Turkey is also the country where a few years earlier, a group of school teachers (yes, school teachers!) gathered in a demonstration to commemorate Hitler.
North Korea Continues to Develop Ballistic Missiles
by Debalina Ghoshal
Despite Chapter VII of the UN Charter and UNSC Resolutions, it seems that North Korea will continue developing its missiles -- and eventually weaponize them with nuclear warheads.
"North Korea's ballistic and nuclear threat is very much a near-term threat. ... Steady progression in their program is not harmless." — Victor Cha, Centre for Strategic and International Studies.
On March 26, 2014, North Korea reportedly test-fired medium-range ballistic Rodong missiles -- capable of reaching Japan and U.S. military bases in the Asia-Pacific region.
Since February, South Korean officials claim that North Korea has confirmed at least 90 test-firings, among which ten were ballistic missiles.
Is the Gaza War Really Over?
by Khaled Abu Toameh
It is important to note that these cease-fire demands are not part of Hamas's or Islamic Jihad's overall strategy, namely to have Israel wiped off the face of the earth.
Many foreign journalists who came to cover the war in the Gaza trip were under the false impression that it was all about improving living conditions for the Palestinians by opening border crossings and building an airport and seaport. These journalists really believed that once the demands of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad are accepted, this would pave the way for peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
To understand the true intention of Hamas and its allies, it is sufficient to follow the statements made by their leaders after the cease-fire announcement this week. To his credit, Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas's leader, has never concealed Hamas's desire to destroy Israel.
Hamas and its allies see the war in the Gaza Strip as part of there strategy to destroy Israel. What Hamas and its allies are actually saying is, "Give us open borders and an airport and seaport so we can use them to prepare for the next war against Israel."
Sorry to Remind You, but Golda Meir Was Right - Part II of IV
by Burak Bekdil
A front-page headline was particularly revealing: They (Israel) bombed a mosque in Gaza! Including the exclamation mark!
A quick internet search, if you typed "mosque bombing Shiite-Sunni," would give you 782,000 results on July 16.
Why did we not hear one single Turkish voice protest the death of 300,000 Muslims in Darfur?
Hamas's Charter is must-read fun.
Hamas's "Victory"
by Bassam Tawil
What is sad is that the Gazans have not yet been able to free themselves from the yoke of Hamas.
The world seems not to understand that Hamas, like ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood, does not exist in a vacuum. It is one cog in the radical Islamist wheel that threatens the Arab and Muslim world and the major cities of Europe.
The Western world also seems not to understand that it has to incapacitate or totally neutralize the countries funding terrorism, such as Iran, Qatar and Turkey, for whom the Palestinian problem is only a pretext on the way to destroying the Western world as we know it and replacing it with only Islam.
