| It’s Lookin’ Good Dedicated to the Egyptian People
In the past two decades, the number of venues, events, funds and possibilities available to the arts community has grown in leaps and bounds. Egypt has undergone a major cultural revival in the visual arts, but beyond quantity, what is it that has made the art of this age different from that of the previous decades? With few exceptions, artists in the past had to resort to working within a structure wholly monopolized by the state. Art education, exhibition spaces as well as opportunities for international participation were more or less the domain of the government and thus predominantly reflected the values and concerns of those in power. .

Britney Spears hands over children after dispute at her home
Sands spoke briefly, saying Kaplan: "feels at this time it would be inappropriate for him to speak to the media ... because of the serious nature of what we have all read about."
The attorneys are expected to return to court at 1:30 p.m. today. No legal papers requesting custody changes had been filed as of Friday morning, said Meredith Pierce, deputy public information officer for Los Angeles Superior Court.
Authorities were called to Spears' home in the 12000 block of Summit Circle about 8 p.m. Thursday after Federline's bodyguards went to her house to pick up Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, who were scheduled to return to their father's custody, authorities said.
By the time officers arrived at the home, Spears had turned over her younger son to the bodyguards but had locked herself in her bedroom/bathroom suite with Sean Preston, according to an LAPD supervisor familiar with the case.
Awaiting Iraq war's end so families may reunite
What do you think when you see the same images day after day? Do you wonder why and try to make a change or turn your head and look away? To question the rationale or reason has often been grounds for treason. Force overriding force, might makes right. Is that what we teach our children when we tuck them in at night? The funeral parlors and headstone makers have been very busy keeping up with demand. Nearly 4,000 soldiers dead so far with their blood on "The Decider's" hands. How many funerals has he attended? The newspapers say none. Nearly 4,000 soldiers dead so far: 4,000 lost daughters and sons; 4,000 folded flags given to families who will never be the same; 4,000 families weeping for their loved ones whose deaths are such a shame. It isn't much fun to see your friends buried with no end in sight.
Nihangs display martial valour
Jasvir Singh, a Sikh student who was expelled from a public school in France for wearing turban, his mother Surjit Kaur and his brother Karamvir Singh have come to Punjab to seek help of Sikh politicians and religious leaders. They met Sikh high priests yesterday at Anandpur Sahib. They also sought help of people of Punjab in this connection by joining a brief protest held by Nihangs and other Sikhs to seek the quashing of ban on wearing turban in French public schools. Mr Karamvir Singh, elder brother of Jasvir Singh, talking to The Tribune on phone from Jalandhar, said today that the turban issue had not been resolved yet. Sikh students wearing turbans were not allowed admission to public schools where education is provided free of cost. Ms Surjit Kaur said Jasvir Singh, who was rusticated from the school along with Vikramjit Singh, Ranjit Singh, Gurjot Singh and Gurmolak Singh in France for wearing turbans in the school, was now studying through correspondence.
