Egypt's Justice Ministry on Tuesday ordered the wife of deposed President Hosni Mubarak released from custody without bail, after she relinquished her disputed assets. Suzanne Mubarak, 70, has turned over her property and money — valued at some $4 million — to the state. Village Voice: > Egypt-born visual artist Nader Sadek has been bringing the worlds of avant- garde art and extreme metal together for several years. His 2007 installation Faceless arose out of his experiences living as a metalhead in Cairo, and combined oddly Edward Gorey-ish drawings of a niqab-clad woman standing in landscapes not unlike the ones you might see on metal album covers or fantasy novels. The soundtrack to the piece had members of Morbid Angel, Emperor, Obituary and Testament performing an experimental piece that mixed death metal and Middle Eastern music alongside Middle Eastern musicians like Omar Faruk Tekbilek and Raquy Danziger. Sadek has also designed costumes and sets for the likes of Mayhem and Attila Csihar. > > This week Sadek releases his first full-length album, In the Flesh (Season of Mist). His collaborators include former Morbid Angel vocalist Steve Tucker, Mayhem guitarist Rune "Blasphemer" Eriksen and Cryptopsy drummer Flo Mounier; Csihar and Cattle Decapitation's Travis Ryan contribute vocals to the record, while Morbid Angel's Thor Myhren, Mike Lerner of Behold…the Arctopus, and Tony Norman (formerly of Monstrosity) perform guitar solos. Sadek is planning to make videos for every track on the album; the first one, ... First of all, my apologies that this Crossroads podcast is arriving several days late. You see, some key members of your GetReligionista team have spend quite a bit of time on airplanes in the past week or so heading hither and yon (seeing snow on the ground as I went through the Denver airport really brought back some high-altitude memories for me).

Iran welcomed the fall of its old enemy, Egypt's Hosni Mubarak. But the uprising now threatening its key Arab ally, the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad, is a different matter altogether. Worse still, the thought that the region's revolutionary mood may inspire Iran's own much-bludgeoned green opposition to rise again inspires real fear. Snap judgments in Washington and Jerusalem that Iran would be a main beneficiary of the collapse of the old Arab order now look wide of the mark. Infighting within the regime is matched by, and linked to, rising strategic uncertainty abroad. For these and other reasons, such as the gathering impact of nuclear-related sanctions, the era of cocky Iranian international defiance may be drawing to a close. Amid the Middle East maelstrom, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei – Tehran's terrible twins – suddenly look off balance, vulnerable, and at odds. Khamenei tried initially to hijack the Arab liberation movements in the name of Iran's ... Egypt's Justice Ministry ordered the wife of deposed president Hosni Mubarak released from custody without bail, after she relinquished her disputed assets. Hosni Mubarak, the former Egyptian president, is to make a public apology for abuse of power and offer to hand back his wealth in a bid to win an amnesty from the country's new rulers, according to reports. Suzanne Mubarak, the former Egyptian first lady, in 2008. share: digg facebook twitter LONDON (AP) — An Egyptian princess who lived more than 3,500 years ago is the oldest known person to have had clogged arteries, dispelling the myth that heart disease is a product of modern society, a new study says. To determine how common heart disease was in ancient Egypt, scientists performed computer scans on 52 mummies in Cairo and the United States. Allam and colleagues found the Egyptian princess Ahmose-Meryet-Amon, who lived in Thebes (now Luxor) between 1540 and 1550 B.C., had calcium deposits in two main coronary arteries, making her the oldest mummy found with heart disease. Joep Perk, a professor of health sciences at Linnaeus University in Sweden and a spokesman for the European Society of Cardiology, said the heart disease discovered in the mummies was probably due to the rich diet and lack of exercise among the Egyptian elite. (AP, May 15, 2011) Cairo, Egypt - Egypt's top Christian leader called on his followers Sunday to end a weeklong sit-in in front of a government building on the Nile after a mob attacked the Christian protesters and their supporters, injuring 78. Egypt is seeking up to $4bn from the International Monetary Fund to help plug the huge hole in its public finances that opened up after the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak Suzanne Mubarak handed over more than $3 million to authorities on Monday Egypt's Justice Ministry on Tuesday ordered the wife of former president Hosni Mubarak released from custody without bail, a court official said. (Scott) Reading about the invasion of Israel by Arab "protesters" on Sunday, I wondered what the Jerusalem Post's Caroline Glick would have to say about it. She turned up yesterday with a post in NRO's Corner to draw three conclusions: > I think the violence that broke out this weekend on the Syria-Israel border is a clear indication that the revolutions in the Arab world are engendering more rather than less radicalism and instability in the region. I think they show that another Arab war against Israel is more likely now than at any time in the last 25 years, as Egypt, Syria and other countries reassess their options and come to the conclusion that war and other aggression against Israel serve their interests today in a way they didn't in the past. > > I think Israel's response was weak and that Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who consistently fails to understand the nature of the gathering threats, should be fired. > > And I think the Obama administration, which has thrown Israel under the bus in its efforts to appease the likes of the Muslim Brotherhood, Syria's Assad, the Palestinians, and the nuclear-bomb-building Iranian ayatollahs, has contributed massively ... TEL AVIV, Israel, May 17 (UPI) -- Repairs to a valve station damaged in an April attack on natural gas infrastructure in Egypt have been completed, a holding company announced. A court official says Egypt's general prosecutor has ordered the wife of former President Hosni Mubarak to be released from custody on bail. CAIRO, May 17 (UPI) -- Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is expected to apologize to the Egyptian people on state television and plead for amnesty, officials said. In Egypt, political parties are frantically trying to organize, register and make themselves known before elections scheduled for this fall. But there is increasing worry that lawlessness and sectarian strife could lead ordinary Egyptians to favor postponing the revolution in favor of stability. Hosni Mubarak, the deposed President of Egypt, will reportedly apologize -- and "plead for amnesty" -- in a televised statement. _Apologize_, you may be wondering, _for what?_ Good question! "[F]or for any offense caused to the people," apparently. But, look, all of that nonspecific "offense" isn't really even his fault! See, he's also going to apologize "for any behavior which may have stemmed from false information passed on to him by his advisers." Advisers are notoriously untrustworthy! More »
