Already, Egyptian authorities are preventing at least six Americans and four Europeans from leaving the country, citing a probe opened last month when heavily armed security forces raided the offices of 17 pro-democracy and rights groups.

Obaid, your quote by Will Durant, made me so "horny" to watch this movie, but the movie is really gross, it's full of violence, and the more I search the net for reviews about this movie "I really want to watch it despite the many violent scenes", those critics "mostly Jewish" keep on discouraging me, They say it's a total failure, they seem honest, despite they hate Gibson or vise versa... would you encourage me to watch it or be neutral?
Apocalyptico is great movie. you got to watch religiously not cinematically. imagine yourself as entering a mosques not movie house. don't forget to look into beneath my scoop of little girl foretelling the world what will be the destiny of gauchos.

Within three years Scotland may decide to break up the United Kingdom. Many Scots think that their centuries-old union with England -- one of history’s most successful marriages of nations -- has run its course, and their leaders have set a timetable for divorce.
If the two nations separate, it won’t be with a bang but with years of tortuous wrangling. The leader of Scotland’s devolved government, Alex Salmond, has started the process with his call for a referendum in 2014.
TWO: It will ask the Scots: “Do you agree that Scotland should be an independent country?” If they answer yes, protracted negotiations over the terms of the split will begin.
It is, of course, up to Scots to decide whether to leave the union, although we see more benefits to their staying than leaving. What matters is that regardless of the outcome, the question of Scotland’s independence should be closed for the long term and not just the next 10 or 20 years.
The great danger in reviving this debate -- an elected Scottish parliament with substantial devolved powers was established after a previous referendum in 1997 -- is that it will make more likely a split that neither side now really wants. Endless inflammation of grievances and talk of possible separation can poison the happiest of relationships.
We understand that blood was spilled in centuries past and that Scots have grievances to nurse. The agreement to unify in the 1707 Acts of Union was driven more by Scotland’s financial need than by any love of the English. But however rocky the start, the union of Scotland and England has been remarkably productive for both nations. Distinctive cultural and political traditions have merged without being subsumed.
Scots were some of the most intrepid and prominent proponents of the British Empire and have often played a leading role in the U.K.’s government.
Gains of that kind are impossible to quantify. Predictably, the hard fiscal costs and benefits of independence are driving the debate and causing tempers to fray.
The figures on cross-border flows of taxes and public spending are disputed and far from conclusive.
An independent Scotland would gain most of the U.K.’s oil revenue -- which is past its peak. Any net gain for Scotland would be marginal, as independence would halt the other fiscal transfers that now flow strongly in Scotland’s direction. The U.K.’s public debts would have to be apportioned and various assets haggled over. Estimates vary, but Scotland’s fiscal advantage in going alone, if any, is dwindling.
By contrast, the union does bring two clear benefits. The first is the guarantee of mutual support. Risk-sharing is especially valuable for Scotland, the smaller nation -- its 5.2 million population is one-tenth the size of England’s. As an integrated part of a bigger and more diversified economy, Scotland has some cushion from the ups and downs of particular industries.
Salmond’s Scottish National Party says the City of London has grown too big for the good of the U.K. and Scotland would gain by shedding that bias. It has a point, but even so it’s likely that Scotland’s economy would be more volatile outside the union than inside it.
The second benefit is the force of unrestricted commerce: material, cultural and intellectual. The Scots and the English have reaped the gains of trade, writ large, for centuries.

Sunday’s decision also issued a travel ban on all 43 NGO workers . A date has yet to be set for the trial.
