Earlier this week a Great Falls Tribune reporter found something startling in his inbox: a shockingly racist and misogynistic email forwarded from the most powerful federal judge in Montana, which "joked" that the president of the United States was the product of his mother having sex with a dog. The story soon became national news, with groups like ours calling on Judge Richard Cebull to resign. Cebull quickly apologized to the president and submitted himself to a formal ethics review, somewhat quelling the story. But the story is about more than one judge doing something wildly inappropriate and deeply disturbing. It's about a conservative movement in which the bile and animosity directed at the president -- and even his family -- are so poisonous that even someone who should know better easily confuses political criticism and sick personal attack. Come on: going after the president's late mother? Attempting to explain his email forward, Judge Cebull told the reporter, John S. Adams,
The only reason I can explain it to you is I am not a fan of our president, but this goes beyond not being a fan. I didn't send it as racist, although that's what it is. Is sent it out because it's anti-Obama.
Judge Cebull is hardly alone in using the old "I'm not racist, but..." line. In fact, his email was the result of an entire movement built on "I'm not racist, but..." logic that equates disagreement with and dislike of the president with broad-based, racially charged smears. These smears, tacitly embraced by the GOP establishment, are more than personal shots at the president -- they're attacks on the millions of Americans who make up our growing and changing country. Mainstream conservatives have genuine objections to President Obama's priorities and policies. But since he started running for president, a parallel movement has sprung up trying to paint Obama as an outsider and an imposter -- in unmistakably racially charged terms. Too often, the two movements have intersected. The effort to paint Obama as a threatening foreigner sprung up around the right-wing fringe in the run-up to the 2008 election with the typically muddled conspiracy theory that painted him as both a secret Muslim and a member of an America-hating church. They soon coalesced in the birther movement, which even today is championed by a strong coalition of state legislators and a certain bombastic Arizona sheriff. But the birther movement, the "secret Muslim" meme and the idea that the president of the United States somehow hates his own country are no longer confined to the less visible right-wing fringe. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, until recently a frontrunner in the GOP presidential race, continually hammers on the president's otherness, most notably criticizing his "Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior." Rick Santorum flatly claims that Obama does not have the Christian faith that he professes, and eagerly courted the endorsement of birther leader Sheriff Joe Arpaio. And before they dropped out, Rick Perry and Herman Cain couldn't resist flirting with birtherism. But perhaps more than either of these fringe-candidates-turned-frontrunners, Mitt Romney has been catering to the strain of conservatism that deliberately confuses policy disagreements with racially-charged personal animosity. Romney went in front of TV cameras to smilingly accept the endorsement of Donald Trump, whose own failed presidential campaign was based on demanding the president's readily available birth certificate. And Gov. Romney continually attacks Obama -- falsely -- for going around the world "apologizing for America." Judge Cebull needs to take responsibility for his own actions. And if the GOP has any aspirations of providing real leadership to this country, it needs to jettison the deeply personal vitriol being direct against Barack Obama and start talking about real issues. When a federal judge has seen so much racially-charged propaganda against the president of the United States that he can claim not to know the difference between genuine disagreement and offensive personal smears, something in our discourse has gone terribly awry.
Former Senator Rick Santorum formally launched his bid for the White House today. Given that Santorum's last run for reelection resulted in a crushing 17-point defeat, and given that his poll numbers are still in the low single digits in spite of his having been running a de facto campaign for the past year and a half, it would seem that Santorum's race is mostly a sign of the self-deceiving wishful thinking that overtakes people who believe they are meant to be president -- or in Santorum's case, who believe God truly wants them to be president.
Indeed, Santorum's campaign has already won him enough mockery that Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist Tony Norman recently dubbed him "the Rodney Dangerfield of American politics," saying he gets "as little respect as support."
Part of Santorum's problem is simply that he comes across to many people as annoyingly self-righteous. Norman writes, "His biggest problem is that he reminds everyone, including Republicans, of the annoying kid in Sunday school who memorizes all 66 books of the Bible so he can recite them in reverse order for the old ladies at church." In 2009, as Santorum's plans to run were becoming more apparent, journalist Matthew Cooper wrote, "My favorite Santorum anecdote actually comes from Bob Kerrey. After Santorum denounced Sen. Mark Hatfield, the Oregon Republican, for his opposition to the balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, the Nebraska Democrat was asked what he thought. 'Santorum, that's Latin for a--hole.'"
Fans on the Far Right
In spite of Santorum's huge negatives, he has his cheerleaders among right-wing activists and pundits who think he could still emerge from the unimpressive GOP pack.
Last month, right-wing Catholic activist Keith Fournier published a column that was essentially a mash note, declaring Santorum the winner of the South Carolina debate, calling his demeanor "Kennedy-esque," and gushing that Santorum's "courage to lead" is "what this Nation needs."
In February, columnist George Will praised Santorum as a "relentless ethicist" and said the GOP needs someone who can energize social conservatives who "are feeling neglected and are looking for someone like Santorum." To those who thought his loss would make him unelectable, Will asks, "Well, was Richard Nixon defunct after losing the California gubernatorial race in 1962?" I wonder if Santorum welcomed that comparison.
In January, when Santorum was criticized for slamming Obama's support for abortion in racial terms -- saying, "I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say 'now we are going to decide who are people and who are not people'" -- The National Review's Kathryn Jean Lopez praised Santorum for raising the issue of abortion in the black community.
The Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody also praised Santorum back in January, before Brody's crush on Donald Trump burst into full flower.
Love him or hate him, let's be clear about Rick Santorum. He doesn't hold back. He doesn't mince words and conservative Christians and Catholics find this quality to be his best attribute. If and when he dives into the 2012 GOP mosh pit, he's going to be the guy that won't hold back and in the process he'll put some of these other 2012 contenders on the spot by bringing up issues that everybody whispers about but rarely talks about in public.
Hard Right Record
Santorum's far-right rhetoric and policy positions are what keep hope alive among some of his supporters. He is campaigning as a hard-right candidate who can appeal to every stripe of conservative. And he certainly has the record to back up that claim.
Speaking to a Tea Party gathering in February, Santorum embraced an extreme view of the constitutional separation of powers and the role of the federal judiciary, reportedly saying that Congress has the power and the right to declare what is constitutional or not. He said Congress has the power to disband the federal courts and that "I would sign a bill tomorrow to eliminate the 9th Circuit [Court of Appeals]. That court is rogue. It's a pox on the western part of our country." He told the Conservative Political Action Conference in February that "America belongs to God" and the judiciary has no right to "redefine" life or marriage.
He's a fierce critic of federal health care reform legislation, saying it will "destroy the country," portraying it as the equivalent of drug dealing and telling a group of Christians that getting hooked on health care would make them "less than what God created you to be." He has said that "if Obamacare is actually implemented," then "America as we know it will be no more."
Today, after he announced his candidacy, Santorum declared that American troops at D-Day had been fighting for Rep. Paul Ryan's plan to effectively end Medicare. "Those Americans risked everything so they could make that decision on their health care plan," he said.
He pushes the Tea Party's small-government ideology, saying the problems in the housing industry will be resolved by "getting regulators to back off" and letting the markets work their magic. Similarly, he says the answer to creating jobs is to get rid of all the government intervention that he believes is strangling businesses -- health care reform, financial regulation, the Environmental Protection Agency, and more.
In a bid to salvage his sinking 2006 reelection campaign, Santorum turned to bashing immigration reform and "amnesty" for illegal immigrants.
Santorum has a social issues record to make the Religious Right cheer. He made a name for himself on the national scene with his attacks on gay rights, most notably in a 2003 interview comparing gay relationships with "man-on-dog" sex. (In the same interview he argued that the Constitution does not protect a right to privacy. Recently he said that allowing loving gay couples to adopt children is "trying to defy nature" and should be illegal, as should gay marriage. He says that the Obama administration's decision to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act in federal court meant that the "free exercise of religion will be eviscerated."
Although, while in the Senate, Santorum supported the occasional pro-choice Republican, he calls Roe v. Wade a "monstrosity" and supports criminalization of abortion, which he says is the reason Social Security is in trouble. He backs right-wing attacks on funding for Planned Parenthood's family planning services, actively taking part in the right-wing propaganda campaign against Planned Parenthood. Santorum has slammed the Griswold decision, in which the Supreme Court recognized a constitutional right to privacy and overturned a state ban on contraception, as a "constitutional wrecking ball."
Santorum gave Religious Right activists a powerful tool for pushing religion into public school classrooms when he sponsored an amendment to the "No Child Left Behind" law that encouraged the teaching of intelligent design in science classes. The amendment, written in part by the creationist Discovery Institute, became a force behind creationists' bogus "teach the controversy" strategy. Santorum wrote in 2002 that "Intelligent Design is a legitimate scientific theory that should be taught in science classes." Scientists and courts disagree.
Santorum has been a severe critic of Islam from his perch at the "America's Enemies" program at the right-wing Ethics and Public Policy Center. He says Islam is incompatible with western civilization because Shariah is both a civil code and a religious code. But he also says of Christians that "it is our obligation" to make civil law in America "comport with God's laws."
Santorum has tried to get attention to his desire to be the second Catholic president by slamming the first, saying he was "appalled" by John F. Kennedy's "radical" support for the separation of church and state - a centerpiece of Kennedy's vision of America. Speaking of the Kennedys, Santorum criticized church officials for praising former senator Ted Kennedy at his funeral, saying there was "no excuse" for it and arguing that it was harmful to send the message that it was okay for Catholic politicians to dissent from church teachings.
Although Santorum has been quick to slam progressive Catholics for not hewing closely enough to the doctrine of Church hierarchy, he's shown no compunction in casting aside Church teaching when it conflicts with his extreme ideology, as he did when repeatedly supporting "enhanced interrogation" techniques like waterboarding -- which has been clearly labeled "torture" and "an intrinsic evil" by the Catholic Church.
Santorum blamed the church's sex abuse scandal on the liberal political culture of Boston:
Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.
Obama as Enemy
At least one columnist has suggested that Santorum is angling for a VP spot, where he would serve as the GOP campaign's attack dog. He has repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to savage President Obama in the most extreme terms. Obama he says, does not have "a love of this country and an understanding of the basic values and wants and desires of its people." If Obama is reelected, he says, "Democracy and freedom will disappear." Santorum says Obama's talk about his faith is "phony" because the president, like other liberal Christians, has "abandoned Christendom" and has no "right to claim it." In fact, he says, Obama and "the left" are actively seeking to "destroy the family and destroy the Church" because that is the only way they can "be successful in getting socialism to be accepted in this country and that's what their objective is." During the 2008 campaign, Santorum was declared one of Keith Olbermann's "Worst Persons in the World" for continuing to spread the right-wing lie that Obama "won't wear the American flag pin."
When President Obama criticized cable news, Santorum ridiculously portrayed it as a prelude to tyrannical censorship: "This reminds me of what Hugo Chavez is doing down in Venezuela, trying to shut down the voice of opposition in the media." He says Obama "doesn't believe in the foundational principles that made this country great, which is limited government and free people." He said his own grandfather came from fascist Italy to a country that would allow him to be free: "That's the kind of change we need in Washington, DC."
In an April 28, 2011 foreign policy speech at the National Press Club, Santorum declared that "unlike President Obama I believe we were a great country even before the Great Society Programs of the 1960s." He went on to say, "Freedom has been our watchword, our anchor and our moral guide for nearly every cause both here and abroad. But today we have lost this mission because our president doesn't believe in it." After another (now-GOP-requisite) slam on Obama for not believing in American exceptionalism, Santorum slammed Obama for not doing more to support protesters in Iran: "We sided with evil because our president believes our enemies are legitimately aggrieved and thus we have no standing to intervene." Last year Santorum reportedly told a Pennsylvania crowd "that Obama seeks to make the United States like Europe, a continent whose citizens have turned their backs on faith and grown selfish, and where governments bestow rights upon the citizenry, rather than a place where all are born with God-given rights."
Violating Reagan's 11th Commandment
One reason Santorum might not be very popular in spite of his reliably right-wing record is that he is a habitual violator of Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment. Santorum seems quite happy to speak ill of his fellow Republicans. He has slammed Romney as "Obama's running mate" (a reference to Romney's support for health care reform in Massachusetts) and criticized Newt Gingrich for criticizing Paul Ryan.
During the 2008 campaign, he repeatedly criticized John McCain. After pledging that he would never support McCain, he tepidly endorsed him after Sarah Palin joined the ticket. Santorum even wrote a snide column after McCain's loss predicting (wrongly) that McCain would seek historical redemption by leading the charge in Congress to help Obama move his agenda.
One of Santorum's less-successful slams on a fellow Republican came when he criticized Sarah Palin for not attending the Conservative Political Action Conference and suggested that her duties as a mom to five kids may have made her too busy. Palin in turn suggested that Santorum might be a "knuckle-dragging Neanderthal."
God's Candidate?
Santorum sees politics in spiritual terms. He says that government gets bigger and more intrusive without a "moral consensus" to guide society. In 2008 he told faculty and students at right-wing Ave Maria University, "This is not a political war, it is not a cultural war; it's a spiritual war." Santorum suggested that his opponents were agents of Satan: "The Father of Lies has his sights on what you would think the Father of Lies would have his sights on -- a good, decent, powerful, influential country: the United States of America." He warned the students that if they signed up for God's army, "you'll be ridiculed and you'll lose most if not every one of your battles. But you know who's going to win in the end, so you warrior on happily."
The Campaign Limps Along
Last spring, Santorum said he saw "an opening for someone who can unite the various primary factions -- economic libertarians, party establishment types and cultural conservatives," according to CBS News' Marc Ambinder. But after more than a year of campaigning, Santorum is polling at just two percent among Republicans.
Santorum is unfazed, saying that his poor showing in national polls is only because he's focusing on important early states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, where he won a GOP straw poll earlier this year. Though to keep that win in perspective, Santorum was the only candidate to show up to the GOP dinner and took 150 votes out of the 408 cast.

It's hard to predict what could happen in the GOP primary, but at this point, Santorum's barely-limping-along campaign seems in need of divine intervention.
After more than a dozen years out of office, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich jumped into the GOP presidential campaign this week, rolling out his candidacy via social media and a friendly interview with Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity. Gingrich thinks he's just what is needed to save America from itself and its flirtation with Barack Obama and the rest of the evil of what he calls the "secular-socialist machine."
Much of the media attention of Gingrich's candidacy has centered around his role in the 1995 government shutdown, which Gingrich alone seems to think was a great success for the GOP, and his more recent urging of congressional Republicans not to fear a repeat. The implication seems to be that if you're the kind of voter who wants a more combative conservative willing to take down the federal government in order to bring down deficits, Newt may be your guy. But that kind of discussion -- and the crazily early poll-watching "which tier is he in?" stories -- miss something more important. Let's remind ourselves what kind of person Newt Gingrich is, and what kind of impact he has had on our public life.
Gingrich hasn't exactly been in hiding. In fact, he is at the center of his own machine, a 24/7 festival of self-promotion that includes an emailed "Newt and Callista Weekly Recap" courtesy of Gingrich Productions. If self-promotion were the top trait Americans were looking for in a president, Gingrich would be a shoo-in. But the job requires a bit more than that. People For the American Way's Right Wing Watch, Mother Jones and Media Matters have already posted compilations of Newtonian 'wisdom' from a long and dishonorable career. Once you start to consider characteristics like honesty and integrity, it becomes clear that Gingrich is unfit to lead our country.
The Newt McCarthyism
Gingrich is an enthusiastic participant in the right wing's divisive and destructive McCarthyism, portraying his political opponents as enemies of America's very existence. In To Save America, Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine, he warns, "America as we know it is now facing a mortal threat... The secular-socialist machine represents as great a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union once did... It's up to those of us who love our country to save America from the destructive, irreversible transformation that the Left have in store for us." In Real Change: The Fight for America's Future, he claims that the Obama administration (that would be the Faith-Based Initiative-continuing, National Prayer Day-celebrating, Easter Breakfast-sponsoring Obama administration) "has shown an unprecedented hostility to Christianity." He promotes ridiculous Religious Right claims about religious persecution in America, saying that Christians are threatened by "gay and secular fascism."
Gingrich spoke this spring at the Texas church led by John Hagee, whose support proved too controversial for John McCain in 2008. Newt combined two of his favorite threats, secularists and Islamists, into one memorable, if intellectually incoherent, sentence, declaring that he feared that his grandchildren could grow up "in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American." He told the Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody, "In a sense, our Judeo-Christian civilization is under attack from two fronts. On one front, you have a secular, atheist, elitism. And on the other front, you have radical Islamists. And both groups would like to eliminate our civilization if they could. For different reasons, but with equal passion."
Newt is also placing himself at the forefront of the concerted conservative campaign to turn "American exceptionalism" into an attack on the patriotism of their political opponents. Candidates like Sen. Marco Rubio made American exceptionalism into a campaign theme in 2010, and hope to continue to smear Democrats as unbelievers in America's divinely-blessed founding and mission in the world. Gingrich has teamed up with Citizens United's David Bossie for a new "documentary" on American exceptionalism, A City Upon a Hill, The Spirit of American Exceptionalism, which features, among others, Donald Trump, Michele Bachmann, Allen West, Andrew Breitbart and Phyllis Schlafly.
Gingrich, an old hand at politics-by-smear, is responsible for much of the venomous state of our politics. In the mid-1990s, his GOPAC distributed to Republican lawmakers a memo titled "Language: a Key Mechanism of Control." The memo urged Republicans to use a set of denigrating words to describe their opponents and the Democratic Party: "decay, failure (fail) collapse(ing) deeper, crisis, urgent(cy), destructive, destroy, sick, pathetic, lie, liberal, they/them, unionized bureaucracy, 'compassion' is not enough, betray, consequences, limit(s), shallow, traitors, sensationalists, endanger, coercion, hypocricy, radical, threaten, devour, waste, corruption, incompetent, permissive attitude, destructive, impose, self-serving, greed, ideological, insecure, anti-(issue): flag, family, child, jobs; pessimistic, excuses, intolerant, stagnation, welfare, corrupt, selfish, insensitive, status quo, mandate(s) taxes, spend (ing) shame, disgrace, punish (poor...) bizarre, cynicism, cheat, steal, abuse of power, machine, bosses, obsolete, criminal rights, red tape, patronage."
Religious Liberty: Hypocrisy and Bad History
Gingrich, like other Religious Right political figures, postures as a defender of Americans' religious liberty against a deeply hostile elite, the "secular-socialist machine." Yet he joined with gusto the opponents of the proposed Park51 Islamic community center in Manhattan, which right-wing activists vilified as the "Ground Zero Mosque," saying, "There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia." In his book, Rediscovering God in America, Gingrich declared, "A steadfast commitment to religious freedom is the very cornerstone of American liberty." Regarding the Islamic center in New York, he said, "No mosque. No self-deception. No surrender."
Gingrich, like other Religious Right leaders, justifies his attacks on Islam by suggesting that it is not really a religion, saying radical Islam "is a comprehensive political, economic, and religious movement that seeks to impose sharia -- Islamic law -- upon all aspects of global society... Radical Islamists see politics and religion as inseparable in a way it is difficult for Americans to understand. Radical Islamists assert sharia's supremacy over the freely legislated laws and values of the countries they live in and see it as their sacred duty to achieve this totalitarian supremacy in practice." Yet while Gingrich decries radical Islamists' goal of achieving "totalitarian supremacy," one of his own organizations, Renewing American Leadership, is run by an advocate of the 7 Mountains Mandate, a dominionist theology that argues that Christians are meant to control the levers of power in every aspect of government and society.
Gingrich is ideologically joined at the hip to "Christian nation" pseudo-historian David Barton. In Barton's worldview, the First Amendment is not about protecting religious pluralism, but was only meant to keep the federal government from siding with one group of Christians over another. Barton believes the First Amendment should not apply at all to the states, but that states should be free to pose religious tests for office, and local religious majorities should be free to use public schools for proselytizing prayer. On Barton's radio show, Gingrich promised that if he ran, he would be calling on Barton for help, presumably the way Barton helped turn out evangelical voters for the Republican Party during George W. Bush's reelection campaign. It seems to be a mutual admiration society. When Barton and other right-wing activists were pushing for changes in Texas textbooks, they urged that Cesar Chavez and Thurgood Marshall be dropped, but that Newt be added.
Gingrich shares Barton's view of the federal courts as evil usurpers of the founding fathers' religious intentions. "There is no attack on American culture more destructive and more historically dishonest than the secular Left's relentless effort to drive God out of America's public square," Gingrich wrote in Rediscovering God in America. In a recent speech to the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, Gingrich said the courts have been "especially powerful engines of coerced secularization," and that "From the 1962 school prayer decision on, there has been a decisive break with the essentially religious nature of historic American civilization." While in Congress, Gingrich promoted the Religious Right's false claims that courts had somehow banned students from praying, and repeatedly supported efforts to pass a constitutional amendment to return organized prayer to public schools.
Politics over Principle
In addition to intellectual arrogance, a shameless lack of principle may be Gingrich's most identifying characteristic. When the popular uprisings in the Middle East spread to Libya, Gingrich denounced President Obama for not immediately imposing a no-fly zone: "We don't need to have the United Nations. All we have to say is that we think that slaughtering your own citizens is unacceptable and that we're intervening." Less than two weeks later, when the U.S. joined other nations in imposing a no-fly zone, Gingrich attacked Obama, saying "I would not have intervened" and declaring that "it is impossible to make sense of the standard for intervention in Libya except opportunism and news media publicity." Newt clearly knows a thing or two about opportunism and publicity-seeking; getting some coverage for an attack on Obama was clearly more important to him than questions of U.S. policy in Libya.
For all the far-right's charges that President Obama harbors anti-democratic tendencies -- Gingrich vowed to Hannity that he would abolish all the White House "czar" positions by executive order -- Gingrich's own behavior has made it clear that he sees himself as so superior to others, such an essential treasure for the nation, that the rules he would apply to others should not apply to him. When his second wife asked Newt how he could give a speech about the importance of family values just days after he admitted that he was having an affair, he reportedly told her, "It doesn't matter what I do. People need to hear what I have to say. There's no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn't matter what I live." That is a breathtaking level of hubris, even by presidential candidate standards. And when the CBN's Brody lobbed him the fluffiest of softballs by asking him to talk about his affairs in the context of his experience of God's forgiveness, Newt blew it by blaming his cheating on his love of country: "There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate."
So Right and So Wrong
Gingrich's policy positions are pretty much standard fare in today's far-right Republican Party, including anti-worker, pro-corporate economic policies and support for criminalizing abortion. He has demonstrated his new-found commitment to the sacred nature of marriage by trying to buy the support of Religious Right activists in presidentially important Iowa, where he funneled about $200,000 into an unfortunately successful campaign to punish and purge three state Supreme Court justices who had voted to end marriage discrimination against same-sex couples in the state.
America is grappling with a set of deeply serious challenges at home and abroad. Americans would benefit from a substantive discussion of those problems and the policy choices that face them. What they're most likely to get from Newt Gingrich is toxic McCarthyism, petty and unprincipled partisanship, and preening self-promotion. Thanks but no thanks.

Following in Daddy's footsteps: Are Hamada Hilal's little boys starring in his new film?
Did Egyptian actor Hamada Hilal's little boys star in their Daddy's new film?
Rumor has it that the actor gave starring roles to his sons Ram and Youssef in his upcoming film "Hamati Bethibbini" (My Mother-in-Law Loves Me).
However, according to Laha Magazine the funnyman fiercely denied the rumor, saying: ""It never occurred to me to use my boys in any of my films before, even though the majority of my films feature young kids in them. I don't want them to become attached to the acting world; fans only see the positive face of the acting world, where in reality it's filled with hard work, pressure and tension."
It's a well known fact that celebs like to keep their kids out of the spotlight for at least the first 10 years of their lives!
Someone who is starring alongside Hilal though is veteran actress Mervat Amin and young actress Eman Al Assi.
"My Mother-in-Law Loves Me" was written by Nader Salaheddine and will be directed by Ehab Lam'i.

THE country that gave the world the reality TV show
The traditional method for trying out new consumer technologies is to get people to live with them for a while, and then ask them how they fared. But Philips believes it will be much more useful to watch guinea-pig families in action via 24-hour TV surveillance. This will significantly speed development of new consumer ideas, the firm says.
At the back of its research lab in Eindhoven, the firm has built HomeLab, a two-storey house equipped with the controls and displays for the new systems. Guinea-pig families will spend up to ...

The Perfect
Home Based Business
My friends
used to say things like "all you do is stay at
home tapping away on your keyboard". I never
raised to their bait as one day I knew they'd
see the kind of cash this "key tapping" was
making me. You see I'm not the kind of person to
go about bragging about the money I make online,
there's no need to. So I just let their sly
remarks go over my head whilst I pocketed a
small fortune from home.
Then last
year I was withdrawing money from the local ATM
machine when I decided to check my balance. I
decided not to cover the screen and let my
friend who was with me see the amount of digits
I had in my account. His mouth dropped wide
open. He asked me if I'd won the lottery and I
gave him a wink and walked off towards the bar
we were going to that evening.
Soon he'd
told all of my other friends how much money I
was earning and I was barraged with questions
about my online business. I soon got their
attention when I told them that my business was
bringing in huge amounts of money every week
no staff or premises.

exbii aunty bathingexbii hairy armpitexbii desi toiletexbii b grade moviestim5a download exbii auntyThe longer
the questions went on and the more my friends
found out about my online ventures the more they
wanted to get into making money online
themselves. However, despite all of their "Of
course I'm willing to work hard" comments I knew
there was going to be a problem...

The Problem
People Face When Trying To Earn Some Cash Online
anyone who tells you that making money online is
easy is pulling the wool over your eyes.
It isn't easy par se, but with the right tools
and information it can be easier than
most people would think. In fact, once you make
money online for the first time you'll be blown
away by the relative simplicity of it all. I
mean when you compare it to the troubles and
hassles of an offline brick an mortar
business...well...there is no comparison.
The problem
is that if you don't learn the correct
way to make money online you're going to fail.
It really is that simple. You have to learn all
about how to build sites, what auto responders
are, affiliate marketing, how to accept
payments, marketing techniques...the list is
pretty long. And all of this takes a lot of time
to learn. Many people simply don't have the time
nor the patience or commitment to learn all of
this. This means so many miss out on the massive
opportunity the internet holds for everyone from
the moody teenager to the cheery pensioner.
Anyone can make money from home using the power
of the net, and with little to no start up costs
at that!
So I decided
that I needed to come up with a system that
would enable anyone to make money online
without learning any specialist techniques
The Challenge
Was On. I Needed To Find A Way That Anyone
Without A Product, A Web Site, Any Contacts And
Absolutely Zero Marketing Knowledge Could Make
Money Online Within 48 Hours...I Succeeded.
I know how
amazing it is to wake up to find that you've
made more money whilst you were sleeping than
most people do in a week in their boring and
mundane nine to five jobs. I wanted all of my
friends, hell everybody I knew to know how this
felt too. But I'd spent over 25K learning about
online business. I'd watched every DVD, listened
to every audio seminar and read every book. It
had taken me many, many hours and a whole load
of mistakes to get to where I am. I stuck with
it because my hobby and passion is my online
business. I knew these guys were just going to
be in it for the money though. They wanted to
make money:
Without a product
Without a web site
Without any contacts
Without learning any marketing skills
Without doing any marketing
without doing pretty much anything at all
The thing was
I could see where they were coming from. But I
also thought to myself they're living in a dream
world. Even to me that all sounded a bit too
good to be true. But I knew if I could show them
how to make some money online quickly, they'd
then be able to really get stuck in and get into
the realm of money that I call "fantasy money".
So I looked at one of the ways I make "fantasy
money" online, took a step back, and examined
exactly how they could get a piece of the pie
within 48 hours or less.
Deals Like
This One Are Being Made Every Single Day, And
People Want To Give You A Share Of It For
Helping Find Them
Now as a
product owner all I did was use one of my
contacts to send out this email promotion to one
his lists. However, there are tens of thousands
of product owners out there who want to set up
deals like this, but just don't know how. That's
where you come in. You become a Gold Rush Broker
and find a site owner with a product, and
someone with a large email list of people who
would be interested in that product, and you
bring them together. Your work? Around fifteen
minutes research and one email (I'll provide you
with a copy of this).
It really
is that simple. I'm going to show you where to
find these sites, and where to find people with
large email lists to promote these sites. All
you do is bring them together with one email and
they'll send you a large cheque once the deal
has been done. It's a perfect business

Per Deal You Set Up. I'll Show You Exactly Where
To Find This Site, And Where To Find Others To
Promote This Site For You And Make You
Tens Of Thousands Of Dollars
exbii bhabhi
exbii blouse aunties
exbii desi hidden cam sex
exbii desi bathing pics
exbii indian couple honeymoon 3gp
researching this massively profitable new
revenue model I came across a site that can make
you a whopping $10,000 per deal you broker. I
mean that's the "fantasy money" I was taking
about earlier. I'll be showing you this site in
my simple to follow fast cash plan.
Now don't
forget that to earn those huge commissions you
are not promoting anything yourself. You're not
selling a product, you're not dealing with
customers, you're not even going to be doing one
single bit of marketing yourself. All you're
going to be doing is finding people with large
email lists of people interested in a product or
service, sending them one simple email to
introduce them to the site owner who wants a
deal brokered, and then you're going to sit back
and let them do all of the hard work whilst you
occasionally log in and see how your deals going
and how much money you're making. It's a hard
life isn't it :)
You're Going
To Be Shown How To Broker A Deal And Get
Thousands Of People Promoting Other
Peoples Products And Making You
Money...All At The Click Of A Button
Just when you
thought this couldn't get any better it does.
Imagine finding a product, and at the click of a
button being able to contact tens of thousands
of potential promoters to make YOU money. This
is dream stuff my friend and when I first found
this out I nearly choked on my soup.
Now this
piece of software isn't free, but it will cut
your work down so tremendously you'll want to
invest in it. And don't worry, it isn't
expensive at all. And not only will it cut down
your "work", it will increase your income by
such a ridiculous amount you'll be wondering why
on earth you've been working so hard all your
life when all you can do is click a button and
you know you're going to make money. The
question is, how much?
Ok with all
of this amazing information something's starting
to concern me...
Is This Too
Good To Be True?
Time for a
short "Reality Check". Reading it back, I am
concerned that this is beginning to sound like
one of those "get-rich-quick" scams that promise
you the earth but deliver nothing except a
lighter wallet. That could not be further from
the truth. What I am sharing with you today is a
special "money loop" ,if you will, in a
multi million dollar industry. It's a real
business, involving real products and real
people in the real world. And it's something
you'll be proud to tell your friends and family
As in any
genuine business, you WILL have to put some
effort in to get results. This system does not
promise to make you a millionaire overnight from
sitting around in your underwear all day. What
it does reveal is possibly the simplest
genuine method for the average person without
any marketing skills or online assets to start
building real wealth immediately within hours
of implementing it.
that's guaranteed. If for any reason
- or even no reason at all - you are not
completely convinced that this simple to follow
"just copy me and make money" plan cannot make
you a very nice part time or even full time
income, then you can take advantage of my no
nonsense 30 day money back guarantee. More on
this shortly.
Income Streams
Do you know
what really excites me about this? There
are literally no limit on the amounts of income
streams you can set up with this easy to follow
system. I mean that. It would take you decades
to broker all of the deals that are available at
the moment, and these kinds of deals are popping
up each and every day all over the net. So quite
literally the potential here is limitless.
even better is a certain type of deal
you'll make. As a joint venture broker you can
bring in a residual income that will pay
you consistently for months if not years to
come, and all it took was that initial "set up"
which took less than two hours. Or less than
fifteen minutes if you use the piece of software
I will show you.
exbii holy bathexbii brianna love big mouthfulsexbii desi boobasexbii hiddenexbii demoni 2000 dvdrip xxxIn a

work two hours and make money for months and
months from that one deal. This means that the
only real limit to the amount of money you can
make is your time and effort. The more time you
put in, the more money you will make, it really
is that simple.

"The Gold Rush
Cash Box"...
As soon as I
realised there was such a massive opportunity in
brokering these deals, an opportunity that my
friends could use to generate an income without
any marketing experience whatsoever, I went
about putting an A to Z roadmap on how to
succeed as a joint venture broker. I realised
there was a massive opportunity for people
across the world to broker these deals, and
there are enough out there for everyone to make
some serious cash without treading on peoples
toes. It's a no fluff no filler B.S free course
on how to get started within the day and be
making money extremely quickly online. If you're
expecting a 200 page monster ebook full of cr*p
to just make it look valuable I'm afraid you
won't get it here. The majority of people don't
want to wade through pages and pages of
information on how to get started quickly, and
I'm sure you don't either. So I've put together
a "Fast Cash" package that will help you get
started in the fastest possible time.
"The Gold
Rush Cash Box" Component
One - Quick Start Workbook
As I just
mentioned no one wants to sift through tons of
pages to find what information is useful and
what is just added in as filler. It's for this
reason that The Gold Rush
Cash Box quick start workbook is 70 pages
long. It's free from hype and will show you step
by step how to make money online brokering these
special deals between product owners and email
list owners.
If I'm honest
this system is so simple that I couldn't have
included many more pages even if I wanted to.
You only need to learn the extreme basics that
are so simple a child of ten could do this and
make it a success, and once you've learnt them
it's a skill for life. So padding for me was not
an option, in fact it wasn't even possible!

Gold Rush Cash Box" Component Three - Swipe
I will
provide you with the exact emails you can adapt
and send when brokering these online deals. This
means that quite simply all you need to do is
type in your own name, the site owners name, and
the name of the web site you are brokering the
deal for, and then you hit send. That's it. A
monkey could do this and be successful.
With the
workbook, the video series and the swipe file
you are literally business ready. You can start
brokering the deals within two hours and within
48 hours or sooner you can see results. Now I'm
not promising this will happen that soon, but I
do promise it will happen. And not every deal
you broker will fly, but an easy $500 a week

I genuinely hope you can

There is only one real
difference between those who make serious money

bills that keeps getting higher and higher. It
is not talent, and in this case it is not
financial clout or experience, it is the
willingness to try something and then progress
when you see results. I'm giving you thirty days

P.S. The only
reason this is being sold at such a low price
right now is because I want to train a limited
people up, then use their results as leverage to
turn this into a high end course. The value here
is a couple of hundred dollars and this will be
reflected once I get in my required feedback.
You can either get this course today at the low
price and be one of my success stories, or in a
few months look back with regret and purchase
the higher priced version when it is released.
P.P.S. You'll never find
another course that shows you so comprehensively
how to let other people market other peoples
products whilst all you do is count your
earnings. It is truly a special one off

Startup receives $20 million in financing for new food waste recycling technology
TULSA, Okla. — Startup company Totally Green, Inc. has received $20 million in financing for its new food waste recycling technology ORCA Green.
The company has partnered with Toronto-based York Plains Investment Corp. for a comprehensive program that involves both financing and a new marketing model for the innovative composting system.
York Plains has agreed to provide $5 million of equity financing for a 50% interest in the company and has also agreed to provide up to $15 million in equipment financing for the roll out of the Company''s new service program.
Totally Green''s ORCA Green Machine digests up to 2,400 pounds of food waste daily, turning it into a nutrient-rich liquid similar to "compost tea."
According to the company's website, the ORCA provides food processing facilities with an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to carting waste to a landfill.

The US Global Partnership has drawn up a five year development programme which will see to the donation of free shoes and educational supplies to support the educational needs of every child of school-going age in Atwima Koforidua in the Atwima Nwabiagya District of the Ashanti Region, which has been selected for development as a model Garden Village in Ghana.
Under the programme, brand new shoes and other educational materials would be supplied to students of the local schools every six months for the next five years.
About 1,465 students from the Atwima Koforidua D/A primary 'A' and 'B' schools and D/A Junior High (JHS) 'A' and 'B' schools would benefit from the package.
The criteria for selection in order of priority include students who go to school barefooted, those who go to school with bathroom sandals, and those with shoes but not in good condition.
This follows the realisation that in spite of the free compulsory basic education, capitation grant, free feeding and school uniforms programmes instituted by the government to support basic education in Ghana to help achieve the Millennium Development Goal 2 by the year 2012, hundreds of thousands of children of school going age in Ghana are still out of school, as a result of the inability of their parents to buy them footwear, and attend school with worn out shoes or bathroom sandals.
Mr. Kwaku Kyei, Chief Executive of the US Global Partnership, who won the United States President's Volunteer Service Award by President Obama on September 23, 2011 for his outstanding contribution in engaging the youth of the United States in mobilising international development assistance from the US to Africa, said the purpose of the whole integrated approach to the development of the village was to directly engage the local community leaders to seek ways to help the people help themselves out of poverty.
Mr. Kyei said the focus would be on both the causes and consequences of poverty, and support to agricultural development by strengthening the weak or broken links in the food value chain to get investors to invest in them.
He said in return for the offer to the students, each beneficiary would be given two trees to plant each year and nurture, which progress would be measured on the sixth month when they are due for new shoes.
It is expected that by the end of the programme in five years, over 10,000 trees would have been planted by the school children in Atwima Koforidua alone, to soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and mitigate the effects of climate change, by creating buffers and resilient systems to cope with climate change.
Mr. Kyei said the initiative would be used as a focal point to institute the Garden Village Initiative to resuscitate and restore the natural environment to its green and lush state, containing abundance a rich and varied tropical hardwoods and exotic trees, which will provide a source of valuable resources for future generations.
The programme also seeks to instill in the school children the spirit of patriotism to give back to society at an early age.
His initiative also seeks to find possible areas for development to create employment opportunities for the youth in the town, for them to stay there, instead of moving to Kumasi to find non-existing jobs.
It would also look at the needs of the farmers in the town, and what can be done to support them. As part of that process, middle men who have been exploiting the farmers would be a thing of the past, as the project would be looking at linking the farmers in the village to direct markets, including building their capacity to be able to enroll them in selling directly to the World Food Programme, and processing others directly for the export market.
Running alongside the free shoes distribution and tree growing is an intended de-worming programme for the school kids, aimed at treating soil transmitted worm infestation, which causes a host of serious health problems and often prevents children from attending school, or being able to concentrate while in class.
Under the initiative, the community would be provided with an ICT Centre and a library in the area of education.
A comprehensive website will be designed for the town, and used to attract funding and support to promote the proposed development projects initiated by the people.
The Odikro of Akrofuom at Atwima Koforidua, Nana Osei Gyapong Adusah IV, has embraced the initiative, and is currently collaborating moves to see to the effective implementation of the project.
Nana Adusah, who was installed oOdikro barely ten months ago, has embarked on massive development to give the community a modern facelift.
The projects under the proposed development plan include the construction of a 2-storey chief's palace, resurfacing of all the streets, provision of street lights covering all the nooks and crannies of the community to ward-off the menace of robbery, and the dredging of the storm drain to forestall incessant flooding during the rainy season.
Other projects envisaged under the development plan include two additional Kumasi Ventilated Improved Pit (KVIPO) places of convenience for the community, and the provision of pipe-borne drinking water to improve the lot of the people.

The 10th Victim (Italian: La decima vittima) is a 1965 Italian/French international co-production science fiction film directed by Elio Petri and starring Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress, and featuring Elsa Martinelli in a supporting role. The picture is based on Robert Sheckley's 1953 short story "Seventh Victim". Sheckley later published a novelization of the film in 1966,[1] and two sequels (Victim Prime and Hunter/Victim) in 1987 and 1988, respectively.[2]
In the near future, big wars are avoided by giving individuals with violent tendencies a chance to kill in the Big Hunt. The Hunt is the most popular form of entertainment in the world and also attracts participants who are looking for fame and fortune. It includes ten rounds for each competitor, five as the hunter and five as the victim. The survivor of ten rounds becomes extremely wealthy and retires. Scenes switch between the pursuit, romance between the hunter and the victim, and a narrator explaining the rules and justification of the Hunt.
Caroline Meredith (Ursula Andress) is the huntress armed with a high caliber Bosch shotgun looking for her tenth victim. Marcello Poletti (Marcello Mastroianni) is the victim. He is reluctant to kill Meredith because he is not sure that she is his hunter; later he is more reluctant because they have become romantically involved. To maximize financial gain, Meredith wants to get a perfect kill in front of the cameras as she has negotiated a major sponsor from the Ming Tea Company.
Plot differences from the original story[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (May 2015)
The original short story was written from the point of view of a man hunting his seventh target, a woman, whereas in the movie she is the hunter. He finds her apparently defenseless sitting in a cafe. Talking to her, she tells him how she is new to the game but could not bear to kill her own target, and now expects to die. The hunter falls in love with his victim, as in the movie, and eventually reveals who he is. She has tricked him; she shoots him, joining the ranks of the "Sevens".

More recalls – lead paint & strangling concerns
By asoglin
Friday, September 28th, 2007 at 1:02 pm in Toy Recalls.
Folks, it's time to up-end the toy boxes again. It's TRBLP time. This week's "Toy Recall Because of Lead Paint" affects more Thomas the Tank Engine trains, Happy Giddy Gardening tools and chairs from Target, puppet theaters, Knights of the Sword toys and oh jeez, so many more toys listed on the Consumer Product Safety Commission home page.
In addition, the CPSC is recalling 425,000 Sesame Beginnings infant playpens after a baby was strangled by a restraint strap, and other similar playpens that trapped or otherwise endangered babies.

The moon as seen through one of the upstairs windows.
This is Belenda J. Stewart, (Architect) and her employees.
I copied this picture from Face Book and I believe it belongs to Belinda Stewart. Here is a quote from her Face Book page.
Praise the Lord no one was injured. And I'm glad to hear the records where preserved. Maybe if lots of people volunteer, the building won't be so expensive to replace. Y'all don't need your taxes raised right now during an economic Depression.
How sad to lose such a lovely building by fire. I hope they are able to rebuild.
Oh Dorthy how sad, uch a beautiful old building. Thank God no one wa hurt. But it looks like they will rebuild.
So sorry to see this, Dorothy. Looks like it was a beautiful old building. Such a sad sight now.
It's always so sad when a building like that is destroyed... I hope they DO build it back..
What caused the fire? Does anyone know?
I am so sorry to hear that. So sad when historical buildings burn down. I'm glad to hear they are rebuilding. As I drove my son to school this morning, we took our usual back road route and were startled and saddened to see a neighbor's house about 5 miles from us burned to the ground. It was built in 1975, according to the news online today. Luckily the family wasn't home but it was built by them, with love, and sweat of their own hands. They plan to rebuild too. But they lost everything. That's a lot of stuff in a 10,000 sq ft house. Yes, you read that right. The fire started in the "train room" and they think was due to an electrical malfunction.
- Karen
Oh, my.....glad no one was in it. a wonderful looking building and hope they can restore it.
Even in ruins, it's a beautiful structure. Do they know what started the fire?
Thank goodness the records were not lost! But how very sad about the building!

Warriors bounce back from 17 points, eventually fall by 56-53
Box score.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- The Eastern Connecticut State University women's basketball team wiped out a 17-point first-half deficit but managed only one field goal over the final five minutes in a 56-53 loss to Bridgewater State University in the opening round of the Springfield College Naismith Classic Tuesday afternoon at Blake Arena.
At left: Shannon McCourt
Eastern (2-8), which lost to Bridgewater (7-2) for the first time in 16 years, faces Swarthmore College in Wednesday's 1 p.m. consolation game. Swarthmore lost for first time in eight games this season, 55-48, to host Springfield (2-7) in Tuesday's first semifinal.
Coming off two straight conference championships and NCAA appearances, Bridgewater outscored Eastern 15-2 late in the first half to build a 17-point lead and held on for its seventh road win against a single loss this season. The Warriors scored five points in the final 30 seconds of the half to trim the margin to 12 at halftime, then outscored the Bears 21-6 to open the second half to assume a three-point lead (its largest of the game) with eight minutes left.
Leading by three with five minutes left, however, the Warriors managed only one bucket the rest of the game, taking their final lead, 53-52, when sophomore guard Kristina Forsman (Newington) sank a perimeter shot on a pass from sophomore Taylor McBride (Willimantic) with 2:04 left.
Senior guard Michaela Cosby put back an offensive rebound to give Bridgewater the lead for good with 1:51 left, then hit a jumper on an inside move to make it 56-53 with 1:16 left.
Bridgewater missed an opportunity to ice the game after the Warriors turned the ball over on their next possession, Eastern sophomore forward Shannon McCourt (New Fairfield) pulling down the rebound with 29.8 seconds left. Inbounding from in front of its own bench with 23.5 seconds left, Eastern was unable to get off an uncontested three-pointer, finally flinging up an airball as the final horn sounded.
At right: Victoria Pfohl
Bridgewater turned 17 Eastern turnovers into 24 first-half points in building its 12-point halftime lead before the Warriors controlled the second-half tempo, turning the ball over only seven times. The 5-foot-11 inch McCourt scored 16 of Eastern's 29 second-half points - including ten of its first 14 after the break - on the way to her 14th career double-double with 20 points (10-for-15 shooting from the floor) and a season-high 16 rebounds (one shy of her career best).
The 5-foot-5 inch Cosby of Bridgewater led all players in the game with 21 points (10-for-17 from the floor) and also grabbed seven rebounds, with junior forward Megan Boutilette adding ten points and a team-high nine rebounds. Cosby keyed her team's late 15-2 first-half rush by collecting nine of her team's points. In the final six minutes of the half, Eastern missed three of four shots and turned the ball over eight times in falling 17 points back.
Freshman guard Jill Ritrosky (Pittsfield, MA) followed McCourt with 11 points and six rebounds and Forsman had nine points, four assists and four rebounds for the Warriors, a young team playing its fifth straight road game and first contest in over three weeks. Freshman guard Victoria Pfohl (Trumbull) came off the bench to hit two three-pointers and finished with six points - the first points of her career. She also grabbed four rebounds and handed out two assists in 22 minutes.

Premier Condition Rarity
" Until the 1950s, in fact, the 1926-D was thought to be rarer than the legendary 1927-D. While a few pieces have turned up in foreign banks since then, there has never been a find that even approaches the status of a hoard in terms of size or significance. When offered in today's market, which is not often, the 1926-D almost always grades somewhere in the MS-60 to MS-63 range. A full MS-64 is a very rare coin, while Gems are encountered only once in a very long while. In fact, there are only five-to-seven examples surviving that grade MS-65 or finer, and none of these pieces are Superb Gems."
Data from third party grading services supports Akers assessment of the rarity of the 1926-D in high grades. Currently, PCGS has certified three MS65 examples and two MS66 coins; NGC has yet to see any Gem or finer specimens (10/09). It is also noteworthy in this regard that the 1926-D has, to the best of our knowledge, made only eight appearances in MS65 or better grades through the major auction firms in the last 15 or so years. The most prominent of these is the PCGS graded MS66 Morse specimen, which realized $345,000 when we offered it in November 2005. The finest known example may be a specimen in the Smithsonian, which Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth report is a Superb Gem.
The Denver Mint coined 481,000 double eagles in 1926, a smallish mintage for the series, but certainly not indicative of the coin's rarity today. Like many other mintmarked issues of the 1920s, the 1926-D was primarily used to back U.S. currency, and most of the mintage was held in reserve in Treasury vaults or domestic banks. After the Gold Recall of 1933, the great majority of the mintage was melted and stored as ingots at Fort Knox. Only a handful of specimens were released into circulation domestically, and only 30-45 coins are known today in circulated grades. A few bags were probably used in foreign trade, and these examples found refuge in foreign banks during the great Recall. Almost all specimens known today in lower Uncirculated grades, perhaps 175-200 examples, are from these European holdings. Fortunately, a few Gem specimens were purchased directly from the Mint and preserved by dedicated collectors to provide the available population of a half dozen or so high grade coins known today.
The 1926-D did not appear at auction until the mid-1940s. Probably the first appearance was in the World's Greatest Collection (Numismatic Gallery, 1/1946), lot 1044, where it realized $1,300. The coin went on to even greater heights in its next appearance, as lot 916 of the Dr. Charles W. Green Collection (B. Max Mehl, 4/1949), where it realized $2,500. The Green auction was a breakthrough in double eagle collecting, and the number of collectors pursuing the big gold coins probably at least doubled after this sale. The 1926-D was definitely in the front rank of American rarities at the time, and was considered by most to be the rarest Saint-Gaudens double eagle. Fortunately for present day collectors, small numbers of 1926-D double eagles began to turn up in the early 1950s from the European sources alluded to before. By the time of the Adolphe Menjou Collection (Numismatic Gallery, 6/1950), the effect of the European finds began to be felt. The catalogers still touted the issue as a great rarity, but the price realized declined to $2,000. This trend has continued in recent times, with the result that the 1926-D has become an underrated coin in the current market. Garrett and Guth rate the 1926-D as the 10th rarest date in the 54 coin series today.
The Gem example presented here displays dazzling luster that radiates from satiny peach and yellow-gold surfaces, tinged with traces of emerald and reddish-gold at the margins. A sharp strike occurs on the design elements, save for the usual softness in the Capitol dome. A die ejection mark in the upper left obverse border is seen to some degree on several higher grade 1926-D twenties. In addition to the Morse MS66 coin, we have only handled three MS65 coins in our past sales, including this piece from the Kutasi Collection. This is a highly attractive and appealing Gem that easily ranks in the Condition Census of all 1926-D twenties.
Ex: Charlotte Collection (Stack's, 3/1991), lot 1215; later, Kutasi Collection (Heritage, 1/2007), lot 3300; Heritage (5/2007), lot 2803.

Taking that next big step
Spring graduation 2012 is in the books! It was a day full of excitement and emotion for students, their families and friends, and university officials.
We could share so many stories from the big day (and will try to do that in the coming weeks), but first we wanted to share even more photos. We've already posted hundreds of photos to our Facebook and Flickr galleries, garnering a steady stream of comments and tags.
Still, that wasn't enough. So we put together a special gallery we are calling "Best Foot Forward."
The gallery is of UALR students preparing to take their next big step. What better way to illustrate that than to show some of the stylish shoes we saw at commencement?
What we learned from the wide variety is that UALR students know how to put their best foot forward, whether it was donning an espadrille or spiky heel. In a sea of black and red robes, many students found a way to stand out from head to toe (there were some great mortarboard decorations as well).
Thank you, graduates, for letting us share in your big day as you take your next step into the world! Be sure to get your copy of the graduation DVD and stay in touch with us!

Oh my gosh those shoes are AMAZING!!!
Nice shoe good luck with graduation I hope its fun!!

Method to Reconstruct Motion-Compensated Magnetic Resonance Images with Non-Cartesian Trajectories
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (University of Wisconsin)
posted on 04/03/2012
The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) is seeking commercial partners interested in developing a method for producing motion-compensated images without the need for additional navigator data or external motion estimation schemes.
Suggested Uses
- Software used in MRI post-processing, particularly neuro-imaging applications
- Improves MR image clarity
- Allows focused application of correction algorithm to datasets with no motion
Detailed Description
Despite reduction in imaging times achieved through improved hardware and rapid acquisition schemes, motion artifacts can compromise the quality of MRI-acquired images, especially in three-dimensional imaging where scan durations are prolonged and the assumptions for most state-of-the-art two-dimensional rigid body motion compensation techniques break down. Hence, an improved method for producing motion-compensated images in three dimensions is needed.
UW–Madison researchers have developed a motion-compensated image depiction method for use with magnetic resonance imaging systems. An MRI system is used to acquire a time series of k-space data from a subject by sampling k-space along non-Cartesian trajectories, such as radial or spiral, at a plurality of time frames. The time frames at which motion occurred are identified and used to segment the time series into a plurality of k-space data subsets containing consistent data.
The k-space data subsets contain k-space data acquired at temporally adjacent time frames that occur between those identified time frames at which motion occurred. Transformation matrices are derived from co-registration of images created from these consistent subsets. Motion correction parameters are determined from the k-space data subsets. The determined parameters are applied to the individual consistent subsets of k-space data, and these corrected data subsets are combined to form a corrected k-space data set from which a motion-compensated image is reconstructed.
