Israel – Yishai Says Deri Won’t Go Against Wishes

Israel – Head of the Shas party Eli Yishai told Israel Radio Thursday morning that he doesn’t think that former party leader Arye Deri will establish a new party. Windows 7 serial key

“It’s had for me to believe that will form a new party Office Visio Key,” Yishai said. “He always said he’d never go against the wishes of Rabbi Ovadiah [Yosef, Shas’ spiritual leader]. He loves and respects Rabbi Ovadiah, and I just don’t think he would do this.”

Yishai seemed to be indicating that it is the wishes of the rabbi Server 2008 Key, who is effectively the Shas movement’s ultimate decision maker, that Yishai will take Shas into the coming elections as party leader.

However, asked why Rabbi Yosef does not simply make a public statement on the matter, Yishai said elusively that the only issued the rabbi would comment on is to say “vote for Shas.”

U.S. could make $15.1 billion on AIG bailout GAO

WASHINGTON, May 8, 2012 (Reuters) — Taxpayers could realize a profit of more than $15.1 billion from the massive government bailout of insurer American International Group replica watches, a congressional watchdog said.

According to a report by the Government Accountability Office issued on Monday, the total return depends on the overall health of AIG and a number of other factors relating to Treasury’s ownership stake.

The U.S. Treasury acquired shares in AIG as part of a $182 billion bailout of the insurer in 2008 replica watches, the largest rescue of a single corporation, and has reduced the investment over time.

Treasury sold AIG common stock in May 2011 and this March. Another sale on Monday – that realized $5.8 billion – reduced taxpayer equity interest in AIG to 61 percent.

The AIG portfolio includes a Federal Reserve Bank of New York loan to Maiden Lane III of about $8 billion, which the GAO analysis expects to be repaid in full and net additional returns.

“When all the assistance is considered, the amount the federal government ultimately takes in could exceed the total support extended to AIG by more than $15.1 billion replica watches,” GAO found.

Heavy fighting rocks eastern Syria residents

AMMAN (Reuters) – Heavy fighting between rebels and government troops erupted overnight in the capital of an oil producing province in eastern Syria Luos Handmade Machines, residents and activists said on Sunday, the latest escalation of violence in a tribal area bordering Iraq.

Rebels armed with rocket-propelled grenades attacked tank positions in the eastern sector of the city of Deir al-Zor on the Euphrates river, in response to an army offensive against several towns and villages in the province that have killed tens of people in recent days Machine Tubes, they said.

“The fighting subsided early in the morning. We do not have a death toll because no one is daring to go into the streets,” said Ghaith Abdelsalam Tattooing Machines, an opposition activist who lives near Ghassan Abboud roundabout. At least five army tanks had been deployed on each street leading to the roundabout, a flashpoint for the fighting, he added.

JT Grey Racing Lexus LX 570 is an unlikely desert

Lexus looks to be giving the Baja 1000 its due. The luxury automaker showed off an LX 570 built by JT Grey Racing to take to the desert sands. With dual King Racing shocks, large 37-inch BF Goodrich tires and a host of safety equipment Tattoo Supplies, the high-riding SUV looks ready to do battle with the best of them. Inside Tattoo Supplies, Sparco was kind enough to supply a set of racing seats as well as an EVO steering wheel. A Lowrance HD7 / LMF 400 navigation ensures that the driver knows where the course is headed, and a Kenwood 110 radio and intercom system means that driver and navigator can stay in contact.

Does this mean that Lexus is heading to Baja? We doubt it, though Toyota has already made it clear that the company intends to take to the legendary endurance course with its Long Beach Racers Tacoma. We think there would be plenty of room in the ranks for this LX 570, too, but that’s just us.

UPDATE: While Lexus may not have a Baja pedigree, JT Grey Racing does. The team is planning to campaign this vehicle in next year’s race in an attempt to knock out a second Stock-Full Championship.

You Can’t Handle the Veritas

Also in Slate, Dana Stevens reviews The Social Network. Luke O’Brien details the factual inaccuracies in The Social Network’s depiction of Zuckerberg and Facebook’s history. Plus: Predict how much the movie will earn at the box office.

The Social Network

Reliable sources inform me that there comes, in every human life, a point of terminal uncoolness—that uncomfortable moment when the music starts to feel too loud, the prime-time TV gets a little baffling, Velcro seems brilliant, and the tastes of mainstream people sound like groupthink from a distant Replica Hale Bob Dresses, maybe child-eating, place. I think I may have reached that point, this week, on seeing the new Facebook movie. The Social Network, by writer Aaron Sorkin and director David Fincher, has been widely, roundly praised by critics I respect and frequently agree with. The New York Times’ Manohla Dargis wrote about the movie as “a creation story for the digital age and something of a morality tale.”David Denby, in The New Yorker, described a film that “pushes beyond simplicities,” a report on “class Cheap Marc Jacobs Dresses, manners, ethics” that is Sorkin’s “best work yet”—a film, in short, that’s “absolutely emblematic of its time and place.” On reading this, I felt sure it was time to take up boules, so out of touch with my own culture did I seem to be. The Social Network I saw was a rote and deeply mediocre film, much weaker than the best work of its writer or director. How could I, who should have been sucked deep into that on-screen universe (Mark Zuckerberg was one of the first people I met in college; we lived a couple of rooms apart as freshmen), feel so impervious to the movie’s “emblematic” pull?

The Social Network was made to provide Facebook’s half-billion users with a kind of origin myth, and that myth’s luckiest feature, from a cinematic point of view, is its roots in the nation’s most iconic ivory tower. People go out of their way to set movies at Harvard, because Buy Herve Leger gown, like Vegas or Cold War Berlin, Harvard signifies. The things that Harvard signifies are the things The Social Network takes as plot points: It is a movie framed to be about—and here I’m quoting some unsubtle dialogue I scribbled down from the fifth row—”a world where social structure was everything.” Fair enough. What’s troubling, though, especially in a film that strives to capture a new 21st-century order Christian Audigier Clothes sale, is the movie’s totally regressive concept of that structure.

Sorkin and Fincher’s 2003 Harvard is a citadel of old money, regatta blazers, and (if I am not misreading the implication here) a Jewish underclass striving beneath the heel of a WASP-centric, socially draconian culture. Zuckerberg aspires to penetrate this world in order to make fancy friends and—well, do what, exactly? Wear madras? There were some kids at Harvard, in my era, with an interest in whatever gaunt remnants of old-style affluence remained, but the impulse was nostalgic and theatrical more than ambitious—people who arrive in the Ivy League these days do not come from black-tie dinners and wood-paneled rooms, nor do they enter such milieus after they leave. The kids entering Harvard in 2002 came largely from pressure-cooker public schools, dorm-room entrepreneurships, the cutthroat upper echelon of prep institutions, or, in my case Cheap Christian Audigier Clothing, the all-weather-fleece-wearing wilds of San Francisco. Sorkin and Fincher’s failure to discern the underlying culture of the place in the aughts may be why their portrait of today’s Cambridge, Mass., strivers felt so tediously stock and two-dimensional to me: I recognized their Harvard, but only from Love Story and The Paper Chase, not my experience. To get the university this wrong in this movie is no small matter. In doing so, The Social Network misunderstands the cultural ambitions, and the nature of Zuckerberg’s acumen, that made Facebook possible.

I’m not complaining here about the movie’s superficial liberties DKNY Dresses sale, of which there are plenty. Jesse Eisenberg’s Zuckerberg is a withdrawn, wounded recluse who spirals across campus with his head locked down, answering questions in a quick, high-strung rodent voice. The Zuckerberg I knew—not especially well; we occasionally used to have lunch together in the dining hall before losing touch sometime in 2003 or 2004—was outwardly friendly, often smiling, confident, inclined, if anything, to talk at outdoor volume. He was something of a geek, I guess, but at Harvard in 2002, this was not exactly a minority position. His room was on the first floor of our dormitory, where outgoing freshman seemed to be placed, and he had his desk positioned such that if the door was open to the hallway, as it sometimes was, he’d face the other kids coming and going on their way to class.

Still, who cares now? Eisenberg’s portrait of an oppressed, psychologically wounded mogul fits this cinematic universe better than the real Zuckerberg would, and, anyway, it’s beside the point to fuss over the nitty-gritty of the movie’s accuracy: The Social Network is openly built according to the laws of narrative fiction, not documentary. What is not beside the point, given the film’s ambitions, is whether these various details converge to nail the real-world-zeitgeist target they hope to. They don’t. The movie paints a picture of a cultural world that is as black-and-white as it is outdated.

2013 Dodge Viper coming in late 2012, stability co

Chrysler is finally reining in its big bad snake. After years of shunning stability control for its no-holds-barred feel White Herve leger sale, the Pentastar is planning to incorporate stability control on the next-generation Dodge Viper. Set to debut in 2012 as a 2013 model Replica Herve Leger gown, the vehicle’s systems are currently undergoing testing on a 2010 chassis Discount Missoni Dresses, and Chrysler was kind enough to share a photo of the serpent slithering through the snow.

There’s just something about seeing a supercar on the powder that makes us grin like a canary-fed feline.

What else do we know about the next-generation Viper? Few solid details have been confirmed as of yet Discount DKNY Clothing, but word on the web is that buyers can look forward to somewhere between 600 and 700 horsepower. There’s no indication as to whether those ponies will come from a V10 as in days of old or if Chrysler will opt for something with fewer cylinders and more forced induction. Either way, there will be enough power on hand to rankle the chains of hardware like the Corvette ZR1 and Nissan GT-R.

Chrysler says that the company is prepping the Viper for the next “Supercar Olympics Cheap Hale Bob Dresses,” but from the sound of things Cheap White Herve leger, the beast will be more at home in an all-out street brawl. We can’t wait. Chrysler’s brief statement is available after the jump.

Barn finds classier in Britain, Aston Martin DB4 c

In the U.S. Cheap Emilio Pucci Dresses, there are plenty of stories about amazing vehicles found in barns. Tales of rare Cobras, forgotten Corvettes and misplaced muscle cars are the subjects of books and dreams. Now DKNY Clothes sale, a long-forgotten treasure has recently been unearthed in the United Kingdom, and somewhere David Brown is smiling. An Aston Martin DB4 convertible, one of only 70 produced, has been recovered and will cross the Bonhams auction block.

Richard Truesdell of AutomotiveTraveler breaks down the history of the DB4 convertible for us (and he does so in a very iPad-friendly format). This particular roughed-up example has a two-owner history Replica Herve leger strapless, and shows just 60 Buy DKNY Clothing,000 miles on the odometer. The original engine is gone, but the mill that comes with the car is a factory unit, which was installed in the late 1970s. The convertible will be sold in its barn find condition.

Slated to face the gavel on May 21st, auction experts expect the car to go for £80 Cheap Herve Leger v neck,000 to £140 Buy Christian Audigier Clothing,000, or around $130,000 to $227,000 USD. More is possible, however, because a recent 1958 Aston Martin DB2/4 MkIII ended up costing one bidder $319,000. Of course, that one was owned by David Brown himself. Regardless, this barn find will most likely wind up in the hands of someone ready to bring it back to life.

The Battle Cry of a Supreme Court Wife

Ginni Thomas

RICHMOND, Va.—Of all the disclosures in the fascinating new biography of Justice William Brennan by Seth Stern and Stephen Wermiel, one of the most powerful is this: The worst job in the entire history of the world has to be Supreme Court wife.

Stern and Wermiel paint a searing picture of an alcoholic Marjorie Brennan, who evidently spent years both drinking and dying at the same time. Or worse, Justice Felix Frankfurter’s “desperately unhappy and incapacitated wife, Marion” who Fake Versace Watches for sale, “suffered from psychological problems since the 1920’s and had been largely confined to her second-story bedroom since the 1940’s.”

Unlike the wives of regular politicians, Supreme Court wives can’t go out on the stump for their husbands. They can’t defend them in the media. They can’t do much more than allow the photographers in to see the window treatments and the fruit bowls. As Stern and Wermiel describe it, at the Red Mass in 1963, after the Bishop of Richmond slammed the Supreme Court for its recent school prayer decisions, Marjorie Brennan finally lost it. On leaving the church she excoriated the bishop: “You’re not fit for my husband or me to kiss your ring.” It seems to have been a single act of public rebellion in a lifetime of swallowed insults and attacks on her husband.

Virginia Lamp Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has learned this lesson well. As she addresses the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention Friday night, she wants it to be perfectly clear that nobody is going to lock her in the attic anytime soon. She’s fighting for what she believes in, and for that she should get enormous credit.

But what, one wonders, might happen if she prevails?

Thomas is an extraordinarily youthful 53, as she takes the main stage in Richmond’s downtown convention hall. Her hair is a honey-colored bob and her jacket is a cheerful red. She greets several hundred Virginia Tea Partiers (2,000 participants are expected, the largest such gathering ever) with “Hello Patriots!”  Thomas is charming Discount Replica Breguet Watches, even girlish in her delivery. She opens with the story of the goose and the golden egg Replica Vacheron Constantin Watches, and segues gently into a warning that “we are ruled by an elite that thinks it knows better than we know and tells us what to do.”

There is very little specificity in Thomas’ Tea Party indictment Discount Replica A Lange & Sohne Watches, which targets Washington’s “political class” and their generalized “power grab” from a Washington that “doesn’t believe the founders and think they know best.” Perhaps Thomas can’t speak in specific detail, or perhaps the idea is that there is no detail How to buy Replica Cartier Watches, no clear explanation of how the current elites are worse than the previous elites. Perhaps it’s enough to allude to the collective certainty that “freedom has never been more fragile” and that “in my lifetime it’s never been this bad.” Thomas explains, to much applause, that a Tea Party member’s neighbors either believe he is crazy, or a hero Aigner Replica Watches, that “people either see it or they don’t.”

She talks of “reclaiming America” and of a current government that “sees the Constitution as an impediment to having power over our lives.” There is a code here, about being unable to choose one’s doctors and the deceptions of the mainstream media, but Thomas seems to be speaking only in the spaces between Tea Party particulars, especially when it comes to the Supreme Court.

 Thomas serves up a much-cheered slam on the “mainstream media” which “used to pride itself on gotcha journalism, but either went to sleep or became lapdogs for the other side.” That’s followed with the warning that people with an “extreme point of view” have “burrowed into the media, our churches, schools and publishing houses.” There is a call to reject traditional media and turn to cable television, the Internet and Liberty Central—the Website Thomas founded to empower citizens to empower themselves. Thomas warns that the “hard left is working right now to dismiss us, demoralize us, and destroy our good candidates.”  She then offers eight “habits of highly effective citizen patriots” which include sprinkling more AM radio into one’s media diet (she recommends Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin by name) and connecting with others and prayer. She explains that the opposition wants you “demoralized, tricked and fooled,” but the answer is to focus on the fact that “ordinary people armed with truth can change the world.” The crowd surges to its feet, as she tells them which incumbent Democrats to defeat in Virginia’s November elections.
