3 Americans jailed in Iran to meet their mothers

TEHRAN, Iran - Three Americans jailed in Iran for 10 months in his arms and embraced their mother in an emotional meeting Thursday after the women arrived on a mission to secure the release of their children. One of the prisoners have said they hoped all go home and in the first trio of public comments since their arrest.

Nora Shourd, Cindy and Laura Fattal Hickey threw their arms in the air and rushed to hug their children as they entered the room at the Hotel Esteghlal north of Tehran, in video broadcast on Iranian TV State Press.

They embraced and kissed the three on the cheeks as they embraced, some rocking back and forth with tears in his eyes. The group then had lunch together at a celebration of rice, kebabs and other traditional dishes of the Middle East.

Iran held the three Americans - Sarah Shourd, 31, her boyfriend, Shane Bauer, 27, and their friend Josh Fattal, 27 - along the Iraqi border in late July and accused them of entering Iraqi territory and espionage. Their parents reject the accusation and said the three were hiking in Iraq and largely scenic peace in the northern Kurdish region.

The mothers, who wore long black dresses and holding bouquets of flowers at the meeting, has arrived in Tehran on Wednesday to visit their children and try to obtain their liberation.

Iran to grant visas to the women to see their children in what she said was a humanitarian gesture and Islamic Americans asked them to release the three on the same grounds.

"We hope we will soon be home, perhaps with our mothers," said Josh Fattal that the group was asked, sitting together on a couch lowered thereafter.

The parents had little new in the three Americans since their arrest and their mothers were eager to speak with them and assess their state of health where after about 10 months of captivity in Evin prison in Iran.

Their lawyer Masoud Shafii said the six would stay together until at least tonight but it was not clear whether the three detainees to go to jail for the night.

Mothers are hoping to meet officials involved in this matter, and ideally with senior Iranian leaders, including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has the final say on all matters state, the lawyer said

new hero of the Tea Party, Paul Rand is so conservative, it is scary Dick Cheney

Meet the new hero of the Tea Party, Paul Rand - an ophthalmologist ever elected to the land of bluegrass, which is redder than red lipstick State Sarah Palin.

How conservative is it? The 47-year-old Paul - who has beaten the establishment candidate Trey Grayson, Kentucky Tuesday, GOP Senate primary - wants to abolish the federal departments of education, trade and energy, and the tax on income.

Like Palin, with whom Paul is atop the cake tea party, he is opposed to all the rescue operations of government and affects, and President Obama "socialist" legislation on health care. He favors a constitutional amendment banning abortion even in cases of rape and incest.

But in a twist libertarian, it also supports the legalization of medical marijuana.

He began the next phase of its offer renegade Senate Wednesday with a tee shot decidedly strange pointing to Tiger Woods as a model. Somehow.

The man supposedly of the people has defended its decision to hold the victory of his party Tuesday night in an exclusive country club. Enter Tiger.

"I think at some point, people thought of golf and golf clubs and golf courses as being exclusive," said Paul on "Good Morning America." [But] I think Tiger Woods helped to expand this in the sense that it is brought golf to a large number of cities and youth in the city. "

Perhaps, but given that Tiger is best known today for having sex adultery with more than a dozen mistresses, it was a special defense policy.

Not all the many Americans might find a bit strange about Paul. Some of his positions even fear ardent conservatives such as former Vice President Dick Cheney, who supported the GOP opponent of Paul.

For example, the father of three children wants to withdraw U.S. military forces from all missions abroad. Like his father - former presidential candidate and libertarian Ron Paul of Texas - believes that the Federal Reserve as a source of great difficulty to be set down.

"We face a day of consideration," said Paul warnings Tuesday evening in one of his many claims, in the end is near. "And this movement Tea Party is a message to Washington that we are unhappy, and we want things differently. "

This is something that Paul, 47, served in a monotonous crude, but all the screaming "nonpolitician" - which is precisely what so many conservatives find attractive about him.

"A candidate who is not smooth may seem more authentic, especially in this environment," said Dan Schnur GOP consultant.

Whether it's a winning general election in November - when voters will weigh much more - remains to be seen. The Democratic Party leaders do not believe, and yesterday they had all but giddy at the prospect of taking on Paul.

"It's a fight we welcome," said one party honcho.

But Kentucky is still a deeply conservative state and many experts said yesterday that Paul had a good chance of winning in November and become a star of the Tea Party in the Senate for years to come.

Abu Dhabi hotel installs gold vending machine

AFP – An Emirati man tries the "Gold to Go" vending machine at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi. …

ABU DHABI (AFP) – There's no mistaking what's in this vending machine. The well-heeled in the Gulf can now grab "gold to go" from a hotel lobby in the United Arab Emirates, when the need for a quick ingot strikes.

On Thursday, a day after its inauguration, the shiny machine attracted spectators of many different nationalities who gathered to watch whenever an enthusiast was struck with the urge to splurge on a bar of the precious metal.

Abu Dhabi's Emirates Palace Hotel became the first place outside Germany to install "gold to go, the world's first gold vending machine," said a statement from Ex Oriente Lux AG, the German company behind the vending machine.

"In addition to one-gram, five-gram and 10-gram bars of gold, the machine also dispenses gold coins," it added.

Gold rates are constantly updated inside the shiny machine -- itself gold-plated -- in the hotel's lobby, courtesy of a built-in computer connected to a dealer which sells gold online.

"This eliminates the risk premiums usually associated with precious metal trading," the German company said.

Hotel general manager Hans Olbertz said they wanted the hotel to be the first in the world to offer guests what he called "this golden service."

The Emirates Palace is often used by visiting foreign dignitaries, and its top floor is reserved for the rulers of the UAE federation's seven emirates, each of whom has his own suite.
