Tunis — The political crisis in Tunisia is highlighting a rift in the ruling Islamist party's senior leadership.
Tunisia's ruling Islamist party and three of its allies on Wednesday (February 13th) reiterated their support for a cabinet composed of politicians.
Ennahda, the Congress for the Republic (CPR), Wafa Movement and the Liberty and Dignity bloc issued a joint statement rejecting Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali's proposal for a non-partisan cabinet of technocrats.
"The current stage requires a coalition government open onto parties and independent figures with a large parliamentary, political and popular support," TAP quoted the joint declaration as saying.
The stance directly contradicts a proposal by Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali, himself a member of Ennahda. Jebali has threatened to resign if his proposal for a technocrat government is rejected. He originally floated the idea to end the political crisis following the assassination of leftist leader Chokri Belaid.
In view of the growing tensions and disputes within Ennahda, observers believe that the unity of the Islamist party, which withstood shocks under Bourguiba and Ben Ali, is now at risk.
Samir Bettaib, spokesperson for al-Massar Social Democratic Party, said that the dispute between the hard-line wing in Ennahda, represented by Ghannouchi, and the moderate wing led by Jebali and Interior Minister Ali Larayedh, was currently witnessing a truce.
He claimed that this was due to Ghannouchi's interference in the government's work and his obstruction of its activities; something that caused disputes between him and Prime Minister Jebali.
Despite the conflict, Ennahda leaders have vowed to maintain party unity.
"There are always differences and different viewpoints in any democratic movement," Jebali said. "This is what is happening right now in our movement."
For his part, party leader Rachid Ghannouchi said divisions were unlikely in the movement. "God willing, there won't be any splits in Ennahda," he said.
"Ennahda is committed to its institutions and is firm about its unity. However, there is a flow of opinions within it; all opinions are expressed freely and, therefore, I don't believe that Ennahda's unity is threatened," Ghannouchi added.
Internal conflicts have begun to appear within Ennahda since it came to power, according to Riadh Sidaoui, director of the Arab Centre for Research and Policy Analysis.
The most prominent of these conflicts are those between Ennahda leaders in Tunisia and their colleagues overseas, and the provincial conflicts between Ennahda members in southern and inland areas and leaders in coastal areas, the analyst said.
He added that the other conflict that is threatening Ennahda was the division between leaders who lived in Tunisia under Ben Ali's regime and those who lived in exile.
"It seems that Hamadi Jebali is in a strong and weak position at the same time; he's strong because many parties, including Nidaa Tounes, Ennahda's major rivals, have shown sympathy with his proposal, which seems to have won international support. At the same time, he is weak before Ennahda's broad bases that insist on having the sovereign ministries," Sidaoui said.
Meanwhile, Nidaa Tounes leader Béji Caid Essebsi warned against a division in the ruling party in an interview with Algeria's El Khabar daily published on Monday.
"A division in Ennahda at this particular time is a very negative indicator and won't help fix the situation Tunisia is now in," Caid Essebsi said.
"With all political responsibility, I say if this happens, it'll be dangerous," he continued. "Tunisia will not benefit from a split in the ruling party. The current circumstances are critical and would require everyone to be quite, prudent and not to rush things. Tunisia needs unity rather than splits."

Six activists managed to get into Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday, October 19, 2007, at CBS studios with signs and banners, as well as 9/11 "truth dollars" advertising activist websites. They disrupted the panel discussion segment of the show with statements questioning the official story of 9/11, and they openly challenged Bill Maher to a debate on WTC Building 7.
Los Angeles, California (WeAreChangeLA.org) October 23, 2007 — Maher was talking science during a round table panel discussion when the first activist named Randy stood up, held up his smuggled-in sign reading '9/11 is a cover up fraud' and shouted "Investigate 9/11, Nothing else matters" and other comments to the same effect.
Randy was swarmed by show crew members, and Bill Maher scampered into the audience, put his hands on the back of a crew member shouting, "Out, out, out".
After making his way back on stage, Maher barely got his mic back on when a second activist, Katy Kurtzman stood up and shouted "What about Building 7? What about Building 7, Bill?" Maher stood up and said "I'll kick your @ss out of here, too!" and producers proceeded to escort Kurtzman out of the audience.
One of the panelists, Joel Stein, LA Times columnist then jokes "I was only allowed two guests so things should be okay after this." That's when the third activist, Peter Thottam challenged Maher once again about Building 7 "Tell us what happened to Building 7, Bill!"
As Peter was grabbed and dragged… Continue reading
The First Fifteen Minutes of September 11th
Former Air Traffic Controller Robin Hordon speaks out on 9/11, NORAD and what should have happened on 9/11.
By Jeremy Baker
Within three hours of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Robin Hordon knew it was an inside job. He had been an Air Traffic Controller (ATC) for eleven years before Reagan fired him and hundreds of his colleagues after they went on strike in the eighties. Having handled in-flight emergencies and two actual hijackings in his career, he is well qualified to comment on what NORAD should have been able to achieve in its response to the near simultaneous hijacking of four domestic passenger carriers on the morning of September 11th, 2001.
"There had to be something huge to explain why those aircraft weren't shot down out of the sky. We have fighters on the ready to handle these situations twenty-four-seven. We have NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) monitors monitoring our skies twenty-four-seven. We have a lot of human beings, civilian and military, who care about doing their jobs."
I spoke to Mr. Hordon one afternoon at a coffee shop in Bremerton, Washington.
"You have to understand the emotions, the duty, the job of an ATC. We are paid to watch aircraft go across the country."
It's clear that Hordon is passionate about the subject. A lot of people are. The dark questions that the attacks have left lingering in the national psyche have been recorded. 49% of New Yorkers believe that the government had something to do with 9/11. Following an interview with Charlie Sheen, a CNN poll revealed that 82% of respondents believed that there was "a government cover-up of 9/11." Jay Leno asked Bill Maher on The Tonight Show about the fact that 37% of Americans (according to Scribbs-Howard) believe that the government was involved in some way with the attacks (Maher was definitely not one of them).
As far as the "emotions, the duty, the job" of an ATC is concerned, Hordon puts it this way:
"Imagine yourself at a circus, a fair, a crowded sports event. You have in your hand your little child of five or six, you're amongst hundreds of people and you turn around and see that your child is gone. How do you feel at that moment? You feel panicked. You feel that this is the worst thing possible, so what you do is you engage. When ATCs lose an aircraft, all hell breaks loose. They flip right into motion. We take action and do not wait for other things to happen."
As a former member of the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and PATCO (Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization), Hordon's years as an ATC are particularly relevant to 9/11 researchers.
"I was a certified ATC in Boston west-bound departures, the routing that AA11 and UA175 followed on 9/11. I know it like the back of my hand."
He even received a letter of commendation for his role in dealing with an actual hijacking. When it became clear that there hadn't been a systems failure of any kind on the morning of September 11th, Hordon was certain that something had gone terribly wrong within the upper echelons of authority. A pilot (third level air carrier) as well as an ATC, he is well versed on in-flight emergency protocol. He is also adamant that if these procedures had been followed on 9/11 not one of the hijacked planes would have reached their targets. Continue reading
"Those of us aware and concerned demand that the glaringly erroneous
official account of 9/11 be dismissed as a fraud and a new, thorough and impartial
investigation be undertaken." ~ Dr. Lynn Margulis (Distinguished
University of Massachusetts professor, National Medal of Science recipient,
National Academy of Science's Space Science Board Committee on Planetary Biology
and Chemical Evolution, former chairperson.
"I think in simplest terms, there's a cover-up. The 9/11 report is a
joke… Now there are a whole bunch of unanswered questions. And the reason
they're unanswered is because this administration will not answer the questions."

The 234th Anniversary of the Boston
Tea Party: 9/11 Truth Comes to the "Hub"
In 1858, Oliver Wendell Holmes coined the phrase, "The Hub of the Solar
System," when referring to the Massachusetts State House in an Atlantic
Monthly article, "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table," in which he
boastfully implied that Boston at that time was the center of everything intellectual.
One hundred and forty nine years after Holmes penned the affectionate metaphor
and two hundred and thirty four years after the infamous Boston Tea Party, Bostonians
are again attempting to appeal to the "Hub's" intellectual prowess,
this time with regard to the academic and scientific challenges taking place
around the world concerning the government's official explanations of the September
11, 2001 attacks.
"Those of us aware and concerned demand that the glaringly erroneous official
account of 9/11 be dismissed as a fraud and a new, thorough and impartial investigation
be undertaken" -LYNN MARGULIS (Distinguished University of Massachusetts

The official story of 9/11 is riddled with internal contradictions. One of these contradictions involves the question of how long President Bush remained in classroom in Sarasota, Florida, on the morning of 9/11.
Bush was there to publicize his education policy by being photographed listening to students read. He arrived at the school at 8:55 AM, at which time he reportedly first learned that a plane had struck one of the Twin Towers. Dismissing the crash as an accident, Bush said that they would go ahead and "do the reading thing anyway."
Bush entered the second-grade classroom of teacher Sandra Kay Daniels at about 9:03. At about 9:06, the president's chief of staff, Andrew Card, came in and whispered in Bush's ear, telling him, Card later reported, "A second plane hit the second Tower. America is under attack."
What Happened Next
Thanks to Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11, which came out in 2004, the world knows what happened next: Bush remained sitting there minute after minute after minute.
Journalists, however, had reported Bush's strange behaviour much earlier. On September 1, 2002, for example, Jennifer Barrs had reported in the Tampa Tribune that, after Card whispered in Bush's ear, the president picked up his book and read with the children "for eight or nine minutes." In his 2002 book Fighting Back, Bill Sammon, the White House correspondent for the Washington Times, said that even after the reading lesson was over, Bush… Continue reading

A local 9/11 truth organization founded by two Monadnock Region college students is gaining worldwide attention.
And the New Hampshire primary played a leading role in the accomplishments of Student Scholars for 9/11 Truth.
"We were able to get almost every presidential candidate on video describing their stances on the 9/11 Commission investigation," said co-founder Justin A. Martell, a junior at Franklin Pierce University.
Martell and Keene State College junior Michael E. Jackman launched the organization in 2006.
The off-the-cuff video interviews with presidential hopefuls were posted on the Internet, and some have been viewed by more than 30,000 people worldwide, according to Martell.
"It's gotten a lot of people motivated," he said.
Martell is quick to stress that the student organization, with 80 members from schools in Canada to Japan, is more focused on the investigation into 9/11 than the possibility of controlled demolition.
"The Monadnock 9/11 Truth Alliance is quick to pull out the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers," he said. "We're not the controlled demolition movement, we're the 9/11 truth movement. … There needs to be a new investigation into 9/11."
After the attacks, Martell said he "rallied around" President Bush.
"And then evidence started to mount. There were no weapons of mass destruction and no ties between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida," he said. "That's when I realized the Bush administration was, at the very least, a bunch of liars."
In the past two years, Jackman and other members of the… Continue reading
Note from Jon Gold: This article will be appearing on the front page (2/13/2008) of Main Line Life . To my knowledge, an article like this has never appeared in a newspaper before. Never. Not in the United States, and not in the World. This is what journalism should be. Honest, with no agenda. I would like to give Jeff Cobb my sincerest thanks. You have shown courage and integrity the likes of which haven't been seen in journalism for a very long time. I would like to thank Main Line Life for publishing this article. Hopefully more newspapers across the country, and the world will follow your example. Thank you to Jaime, and everyone at the Anthony Wayne Theater. You have been such a big help. Congratulations, and a HUGE thank you to Betsy Metz for making all of this possible. You are a true American Hero. – Jon
Documentaries question official explanations of the Sept. 11 attacks.

They realize their topic is big; its implications disturbing, but they are compelled by inner conviction.
On Tuesday nights in downtown Wayne, since Jan. 1, Betsy Metz, of Devon, and Jon Gold, of Plymouth Meeting have been sponsoring documentaries at the Wayne Theater that dispute the official explanations of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
They intend to show the videos through February and describe themselves as everyday citizens accruing out-of-pocket costs. Theirs is one effort among several around the country attempting to spur interest and they… Continue reading
"Architects, Engineers & Scientists Examine the Evidence of 9/11″, held February 23rd at Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, featured Cynthia McKinney, Richard Gage, and Steven Jones. Following is a two-part video of Cynthia's presentation (click Read More for part 2); more will be posted here as we receive it from event organizers.
Commentary on event from Prof. Steven Jones:
A great event came together very well Saturday evening, 23 Feb 2008, under the able leadership of Julia and Kristine (sp?) of KPFK – LA. Julia provided introductions followed by Richard Gage for about 35 minutes, then I spoke for about an hour, followed by Richard once more… Then Cynthia McKinney gave a powerful, motivating talk — she is running for US President in the Green Party (USA). She is very 9/11-savvy. Finally, Q&A. It was fun — a lot of energy at the meeting.
I presented new SEM/EDS data on the red/gray chips — and explained further research that is being planned and done to finish this up. (Hopefully the video will be available soon.) I also spoke about areas where I/we actually agree with NIST scientists and engineers, e.g.,
1. The "pancake theory of collapse" — has been analyzed and dismissed by NIST in their reports. For example, in an FAQ released by NIST in Aug 2006, they write:
"NIST's findings do not support the "pancake theory" of collapse, which is premised on a progressive failure of the floor systems in the WTC towers." wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm
2. NIST… Continue reading

It's amazing. Just when you think there are no new depths of shamelessness and betrayal of trust to which the Bush administration can sink, they manage to sink deeper into unchartered infamy. Hold on now, I'm not even mad yet. I'm talking about the seventy seven percent cut in the medical assistance for 9/11 first responders in the current federal budget. Gravely ill firemen, police, and other workers who labored at that site, workers who have come down with life threatening cancers and respiratory illnesses linked to their heroic efforts at ground zero are being shafted once again.
In the name of full disclosure, I am not writing this from some disinterested "good citizen" viewpoint. I have a young nephew, John McNamarra, a heroic fireman who worked as a first responder at that site and who later volunteered for rescue work after Katrina in New Orleans. For the past few years he has been suffering from various cancers resulting from that work for which he is currently under treatment at Sloan Kettering. Last weekend he called me to talk about the government's new betrayal. As the father of a one year old son, Jack, John is fighting the battle of his life, and there is no godly reason why men such as John have to fight the government as well for proper medical care and compensation. One pill — yes one small pill that reduces the agonizing nausea of his chemotherapy costs as much as a thousand… Continue reading

"The Commission" by Philip Shenon has performed a great public service, letting the world know that there are good reasons to be suspicious of "The 9/11 Commission Report." The main problem is the fact that the Commission was almost entirely under the control of Philip Zelikow, who was closely connected to the Bush White House. Although my book "Christian Faith and the Truth behind 9/11″ revealed some of the facts about Zelikow that showed him to be one of the worst possible choices for the Commission's executive director, Shenon has revealed even more facts.
It was already known that Zelikow had been on the National Security Council (NSC) with Condoleezza Rice during the administration of the first President Bush; that he wrote a book with her while the Republicans were out of power; that he helped her make the transition from the Clinton to the Bush NSC; and that he wrote at her request the 2002 version of "National Security Strategy of the United States of America" (NSS 2002), which enunciated a new doctrine of preemptive war that was used, in Shenon's words, to "justify a preemptive strike on Iraq."
But now Shenon reveals more: that in applying to Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, the co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission, for the position of executive director, Zelikow failed to reveal some of his conflicts of interest, especially his authorship of NSS 2002 and his role on the transition team; that he continued, contrary to his promise,… Continue reading

9/11 CONTRADICTIONS by David Ray Griffin is the fifth of his books to examine
the official account of the events of September 11, 2001. This brilliant and highly
readable book takes a new yet simple approach to the truth about 9/11. It focuses
entirely on contradictory statements made by members of the Bush administration,
government departments and agencies, and official bodies such as the 9/11 Commission.
All the statements that Griffin examines are official claims in direct conflict
with other official claims. How could this be? Why would the government keep changing
"the official story"? The public, of course, is expected to take all
the statements as incontrovertibly true, yet they directly conflict with one another.
And why, if the government pronouncements are contradictory, haven't members
of Congress and the mainstream media launched investigations to determine which
are true and which are false, and to ask why are obvious falsehoods about the
events of 9/11 being promulgated by the government? I say "obvious falsehoods"
because, as Griffin explains in the Preface, "If [Transportation Secretary
Norman] Mineta said "P," that is a fact. If the 9/11 Commission said
"not P," that is a fact. And it is a fact that "P" and "not
P" cannot both be true" (p. viii). The subtitle, "An Open Letter
to Congress and the Press," indicates Griffin's hope that the juxtaposition
of the contradictory claims the book provides will stimulate such investigations.
But the book is really intended for the public at large, and its clear focus
makes it the easiest to read of all Griffin's books on 9/11.…

Even if you (unlike the military leaders, intelligence professionals, scientists,
engineers, and other highly-credible people who question 9/11) do not believe
that elements within the U.S. government intentionally aided and abetted the September
11 attacks, or let them happen on purpose, you have to admit that the government
failed to do its job of protecting the American people.
For example, 9/11 was completely foreseeable. U.S. and allied intelligence
services had penetrated the very highest levels of Al Qaeda prior to 9/11 and
heard the hijackers' plans from their own mouths.
However, even the 9/11 Commission found that the Bush administration did nothing
to prevent the attacks. For example, 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said:
president says, if I had only known that 19 Islamic men would come into the
United States of America and on the morning of 11 September hijack four American
aircraft, fly two into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and
one into an unknown Pennsylvania that crashed in Shanksville, I would have
moved heaven and earth. That's what he said.
Mr. President, you don't need to know that. This is an Islamic jihadist movement
that has been organized since the early 1990s, declared war on the United
States twice, in '96 and '98. You knew they were in the United States.
You were warned by the CIA. You knew in July they were inside the United States.
You were told again by briefing officers in August… Continue reading

The Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv on Wednesday reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan university that the September 11, 2001 terror attacks had been beneficial for Israel.
"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor."
Netanyahu reportedly made the comments during a conference at Bar-Ilan University on the division of Jerusalem as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians.
Meanwhile, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cast doubt over the veracity of the September 11 attacks Thursday, calling it a pretext to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
"Four or five years ago, a suspicious event occurred in New York. A building collapsed and they said that 3,000 people had been killed but never published their names," Ahmadinejad told Iranians in the holy city of Qom.
"Under this pretext, they [the U.S.] attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and since then, a million people have been killed only in Iraq."
Speaking Wednesday at a news conference on the Iran threat, Netanyahu compared Ahmadinejad to Adolf Hitler and likened Tehran's nuclear program to the threat the Nazis posed to Europe in the late 1930s.
Netanyahu said Iran differed from the Nazis in one vital respect, explaining that "where that [Nazi] regime embarked on a global conflict before it developed nuclear weapons," he said.…Continue reading

Letter published at 911blogger.com
Finally! After submitting a half-dozen papers to established peer-reviewed technical journals over a period of nearly a year, we have two papers which have passed peer-review and have been accepted for publication. One of these was published TODAY! In science, we say that we have "published in the literature," a major step in a nascent line of scientific inquiry.
And many thanks to the editors for their courage and adherence to science in allowing us to follow the evidence and publish in their journal. (Indeed, expressions of thanks along these lines to the editors will be appreciated, as they will probably get a few letters chastising them… )
The paper is here:
http://www.bentham.org/open/index.htm (our paper is listed on top at the moment, the most recently entered paper); or go here:
(Click on "year 2008" then scroll down to the paper and click on it.)
Yes, it is available on-line FOR FREE, since this is an "open e-journal." TOCEJ = The Open Civil Engineering Journal. You may download the paper and make copies to give to local professors and engineers (hint, hint). That's one reason this particular journal was chosen — open access, free to download and make copies. What do Profs/Engineers say about it — let us know would you?
In this Letter, we emphasize "points of agreement" with FEMA and NIST, seeking to build bridges for further communications. Of course, we will send a copy to NIST for their comment and hopefully open a public discussion on these crucial evidences and analyses.…Continue reading

Sixteen months ago, Brigham Young University and Steven Jones parted ways, but he said this week he isn't bitter about the academic divorce.
He certainly hasn't curtailed his volatile research on the collapse of the three World Trade Center towers after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
(Yes, three towers fell, not just two. If you didn't know that, Jones is particularly interested in reaching you with his message that some other group, in addition to al-Qaida, likely contributed to the collapses.)
In fact, Jones is the lead author of a paper on the collapses published April 18 in a civil engineering journal. (Ed.: Full paper can be read here at www.Bentham-open.org.)
The journal article does not list his past tie to BYU, and that's a big Mission Accomplished for university leaders, who felt they acted to protect BYU's reputation when they worked out a retirement package with Jones and he left at the end of 2006.
But Jones is sharing a cramped BYU office with some professors. He also does research in a BYU lab as an outside user with a student who works with him.
Most importantly, he is preparing several more papers that, if they pass peer review and are published, will give him the peace of mind that his case reached the public.
Jones was energized in November when he and others received a response from the national lab charged by Congress… Continue reading
An investigation of the 9/11 events by a Russian-American journalist and a father of a 9/11 victim implicates the US government in the attacks.
ALEX PROKOP (Jarek Kupsc), a successful journalist, receives a rare 9/11 video tape revealing new information about the attack. The footage was sent by PAUL COOPER (Joseph Culp), a driven researcher, whose daughter died on 9/11. Sensing a good story, Prokop travels with Cooper to New York and Washington, DC, where they uncover suppressed information implicating the US Government in the attacks. As Cooper introduces Prokop to key eye-witnesses, the façade of the "official story" begins to crumble. Prokop hears accounts of underground explosions in the Twin Towers moments before their collapse and discovers that the firm providing WTC security was run by the President's brother.
We follow Alex and Cooper as they investigate the inexplicable collapse of the 47-story WTC Building Seven, disprove the implausible airliner "attack" on the Pentagon, and uncover the illegal destruction of physical evidence from Ground Zero.
The pressure builds as the FBI intimidates Alex's editor, McGUIRE, (Lisa Black) to reveal key sources — while the magazine's corporate investors threaten to kill the entire story. Plagued by the ghosts of his Communist childhood and trying to uphold the independence of American journalism, Alex's search for the truth leads to a dangerous and shocking realization!

We deserve the full truth about 9/11
Tale of Building 7's collapse suggests official complicity, persistent obstruction
Regarding "Drinking the 9/11 Kool-Aid" (Editorial, April 24):
After three government investigations and more than six years, we still don't have answers on 9/11.
Why, for example, did Building 7 collapse? It wasn't hit by a plane, as the towers were. The 9/11 Commission Report completely ignores Building 7. The Federal Emergency Management Agency report discounts fire as a cause and concludes that the reasons for the collapse of Building 7 are unknown and require further research. But when FEMA issued this report, it already cleared the site and disposed of the dust and steel (evidence from a crime scene), thus possibly committing a felony and complicating any "further research."
The National Institute of Standards and Technology, a federal agency, which evaluated the collapse of the towers, has yet to issue its report on Building 7. "We've had trouble getting a handle on Building 7," said the acting director of their Building and Fire Research Lab.
Yet a number of private-sector engineers, architects, and demolition experts have not had that problem. They think Building 7 came down by controlled demolition. The building collapsed suddenly, straight down, at nearly free-fall speed. People heard the explosions, and saw the squibs and the characteristic billowing clouds of pulverized concrete so unique to demolitions. There is no reason to think that Building 7 came down for any other reason than explosive demolition.
And speaking of pulverized concrete,… Continue reading

Dear Honored Citizen(s):
You are invited to attend a forum at MIT concerning the Collapse of the 3 World
Trade Center high-rises on 9/11.
I am the founder of the organization Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth
which is a fast-growing collaboration of more than 350 architectural and engineering
professionals. The last few years have witnessed the emergence of mounting scientific
evidence that the collapses of the Twin Towers and WTC Building 7 were not adequately
explained by the official theories outlined in the 2002 FEMA and 2005 NIST reports.
The Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth call for a new, fully funded unimpeachable
Congressional investigation with subpoena power.
We are dedicated to presenting the evidence that supports our call in this
comprehensive presentation.
What the Evidence Shows
Sounds of explosions coming from each of the WTC Twin Towers were heard well
before the collapses began. These were reported by over 118 first responders
in the FDNY recorded "oral histories" (the release of which was
resisted by the City of NY until forced by a New York Times FOIA filing).Numerous
accounts of "flashes of light" which commonly accompany the detonation
of demolition charges were also reported. Video footage… Continue reading

Here we go again. President Bush goes to Israel. He talks to the Israeli Knesset about standing "together against terror and extremism." He cites the example of Osama bin Laden teaching that "the killing of Jews and Americans is one of the biggest duties." The next day, yet another unauthenticated bin Laden tape surfaces. "In a tape marking Israel's 60th anniversary," reported the BBC, "the speaker pledged to continue fighting the Israelis and not give up a 'single inch of Palestine.'" Once again, the lead was followed by what has now become the standard second line, "The tape's authenticity could not be verified." Once again, the timing is interesting. Bin Laden's message was just in time to help President Bush make his point.
The BBC's May 16, 2008 report continues with this: "The last messages attributed to Bin Laden were aired in March." Those messages couldn't be verified either.
The last clear videotape of bin Laden was released to al Jazeera on December 27, 2001. The CIA released one two weeks earlier that they claimed had been shot the month before, but the video is very fuzzy and the purported bin Laden in the tape doesn't altogether look like the bin Laden in authentic photos and videos. A couple of other videos were released in 2004 and 2007, both of which were fuzzy enough to raise questions. The 2007 video looked exactly like the 2004 video, except that the purported bin Laden's beard… Continue reading

Evan Rachel Wood Shows Off Her Baby Bump For the First Time! (PHOTO)
This could be the cutest baby in the "universe"!
Evan Rachel Wood showed is promoting her new film, Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, at the Sundance Film Festival and showed off her baby bump for the first time.
The 25-year-old former True Blood actress and her husband, Jamie Bell, announced their pregnancy earlier this month.
"The couple is thrilled," their rep has said about the coming bundle of joy.
However, being pregnant is not without its foibles, as Evan — the star of such films as Across the Universe — recently learned.
"Couldn't take pictures with some fans tonight at a restaurant cause I was so pregnant sick from food," she tweeted on January 21.
Let's hope the sickness won't last too long, and that she'll soon be feeling as amazing as she looks!

FOR many years, South Africa's Department of the Environment has funded a programme to clear alien plants from the wild landscape of the Cape where the invaders threaten to overwhelm the native vegetation known as the "fynbos".
The fynbos - small bush - supports more plant species per square metre than any other place on Earth - 8574 species in total, 68 per cent of them growing nowhere else. The flora is so different from anything else that it is classified as one of the world's six "floral kingdoms". Of the 1406 fynbos species listed as endangered in South Africa's Red Data Book, some 80 per cent have been put there by the invading aliens, say scientists. The main offenders are pines from North America and Hakea and Acacia species from Australia.
Until now, the main justification for the clearance programme has been to preserve the biodiversity of the fynbos. ...

Welcome to St. JOHN
In 1993, Fergus was working with Jon Spiteri running their restaurant above the French House pub in Soho's Dean Street, while Trevor and a friend had created the Fire Station at Waterloo. In early 1994, the success of the Fire Station had led to an offer that was not refused and Trevor had been offered the run down smokehouse building that was 26 St. John Street in Smithfield. Through the medium of the olive oil man, Trevor, Jon and Fergus met. Lunch (and dinner……) was taken and St. John Smithfield opened in October 1994. Jon's and Fergus' wives took over the French House, moving on to the Rochelle Canteen a few years later and Jon left after a while to do other things.
Today we have gently spread across various places and projects, no plan, no roll out, hopefully the same rigour and philosophy and we try to remember that it started with both purpose and simplicity, Fergus puts it on the plate and Trevor puts it in the glass.
We hope that navigation is simple and that you can find your way easily to what you need and who you would like to speak to. Restaurant reservations are only a click away.

Minute To Win It Holiday Party + TONS of Free Printables
I enlisted a great crew to help set up before hand, including Honey and his mama JuJu. Mrs. B. took the class out for thirty minutes while we hung a gazillion glittering snowflakes from the ceiling, decked the tables with festive cloths and set up the stations. A "Minute to Win It – Holiday Style!" sign greeted them at the door and "Melted Snowman" water bottles (with their names on the backs) were ready at their seats. They absolutely worked up a thirst at this party!
The littles were divided into six groups of four to rotate through the six stations. There are never a shortage of parent volunteers and the party was no exception. We had four Minute to Win It stations, a cupcake station and a craft station. Here's more than you ever wanted to know about a first grade holiday party…
Minute to Win It: Jingle Bell Rock
See how many jingle bells you can dance out of a tissue box in one minute!
Minute to Win It: Snow Throw
See how many marshmallows you can successfully throw into a bucket on your friend's head – in one minute!
Minute to Win It: Snow Ball Bounce
Using a snowman paddle (white paper plate with snowman face), try to keep the snow ball (balloon) off the ground for one minute!
Minute to Win It: Wrap Race
In one minute, wrap your classmate in toilet paper and top with a scarf and hat to look like a snowman!
Snow Much Fun: Sticky Snowman
I ordered this cute craft kit from Oriental Trading so that they'd have a little something to take home.
Snow Much Fun: Cupcake Creations
Ice your cupcake to look like a snowman, with chocolate chip eyes and mouth and a candy corn nose. Then EAT IT!
The class left with a few of our favorite party favors – Snowman Soup and Frosty the S'moreman Kits! You can get the instructions and free printables here!!
Nearly everything was purchased at the Dollar Tree and Kroger out of our class funds and Mrs. B will have all the basics ready for next year. And if any of y'all are crazy enough to attempt this for your holiday party (it would be great for a family or adults too!), I have all the free printables available for download here. There are also blank cards in the event that you come up with your own fun games, and instructions for each of mine are on the backs of the table tents.
Minute To Win It Holiday Style
The Melted Snowman water bottle labels would be darling for any sort of winter party. You can download those free here!
Melted Snowman Water Bottle Labels
At the end of the hour, we presented Mrs. B with a class gift – a tree decorated with LOADS AND LOADS of gift cards! Families were given the option to contribute a gift card in any amount to any store from their child. It was easy for them and she was pretty darn thrilled!
As we were wrapping up the soiree, I got the biggest bear hug from my very favorite first grader with a joyful proclamation that "it was the very best party EVER, Mommy!!!" I tell you what, going into the school for the first time since last Friday was not easy – my heart immediately dropped and I had to choke back the tears. A school should be a sacred place where we nurture and raise our most prized possessions. More than anything, I think I needed this party to start to put the joy and happiness back into the thought of school for me.
Now, I'm about to settle in for a long winter's nap. Ah… who am I kidding? I've got two darling littles home for the next 2.5 weeks!

Well done! Looks like fun. I may bring some of theses ideas to a get together with friends tonight :)
I don't need a lot of sleep - but rest assured I was in bed at 8pm with the littles last night :-)ReplyDelete

Wow! Love the ideas - it looks like an amazing party! Kind of wish I could go back in time to our class parties and try some of these! Mrs. B. is one lucky teacher!ReplyDelete
I hope that you are catching up on your sleep this weekend. Great party!!!ReplyDelete
That is such a great idea! I was the room mother for both of my girls for many years and so enjoyed planning the parties. Love the tree idea as well. My daughter received a wreath from the cheer squad she coaches, (flat wooden) with clothespins glued around, painted green and tied with a bow. Each clothespin held a gift card.ReplyDelete
So cute! I will have to remember this for next year!ReplyDelete
You have the best teacher ever! All 3 of my kids had Mrs. B and we love her! She is lucky to have such a creative parent in her class. Merry Christmas!ReplyDelete
You are amazing! What a fun party!! My kids are all teeanagers, but my favorite teacher of all time still teaches 1st grade - may have to offer her some fun next year. Thanks for sharing such fun!!ReplyDelete
What a fun fun party! I have a question for you, did the stations with the games get done faster than the cupcake station? Did you have to have an extra activity for the game stations or did the timing work out pretty evenly? I am going to be doing this party next year for sure, thanks for all the ideas and cute printables!!!ReplyDelete
I love this idea for a class party. I am filing it away for next year! I planned my kindergarteners party this year and we did stations with a craft, snack and game. So much fun. But next year, minute to win it would be perfect.ReplyDelete
We did a group gift for the teacher but I also love the gift card tree.
Thanks for sharing your fun ideas. Merry Christmas!
I just had to pop on back and let you know that we played 3 of the games at some friends last night. Kids and grownups alike had a blast! :) Thanks!!ReplyDelete
Love, love, love your party ideas. You totally rock. Please let us know what you plan on doing for the Valentine's Day party, too. Love the gift card tree. You are lucky to receive so much class participation.ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas!
looks like lots of fun for all love the great snowman decor come visit us at http://shopannies.blogspot.comReplyDelete
Jen - I have NO idea what we'll do for Valentine's Day, though I have heard rumors that 1st grade does a Q-U Wedding Valentine's Party. I have NO idea what that means :-) xoReplyDelete
Hello! How did you attach the belt to the kleenex box?ReplyDeleteReplies
I cut slits in the bottom of the box and looped a ribbon through. I then used a bunch of duct tape to secure everything.Delete
So the opening was facing down during the game?Delete
No, the opening faced out. So the ribbon was looped through two slits in the bottom of the box and super-secured with duct tape. The bottom was against the kids' backs. The opening faced out from their body. Hard to explain...Delete

The Kardashians
Pregnant Kim Kardashian Is Back In Paris! Is She Really Slowing Down?
In the early days of her pregnancy, Kim Kardashian was keeping up her crazy-busy-as-usual schedule: visiting Ivory Coast, jet-setting to Rio, hitting up Paris (twice!), and flitting to Nigeria to host an event for a few hours. She got a wake up call when she got back to L.A. from a Paris trip, and was rushed to the hospital fearing a miscarriage.
Since that scare, Kimmy has vowed to slow down for her health, and the health of Baby Kimye. But is she?
Judging by the number of times Kim has been photographed at an airport recently, it seems like her version of "slowing down" is still pretty active.
In the three+ weeks since her emergency doctor visit, Kim has popped over to Atlanta for the premiere of the Tyler Perry film Temptation, gone to New York to make a berjillion talk show appearances in support of the film, and now, evidently, she's back in Paris!
"Notre Dame on Easter," Kim wrote on Instagram on Easter Sunday, along with a photo of Paris' famous cathedral.
This doesn't seem like slowing down to us, but compared to Kim's former schedule, it's a little bit of an improvement! And if she and boyfriend Kanye West are considering having their baby in France, she has to go there to make birth plans—especially if they're really planning to rent out an entire floor of a hospital. Sound-proofing takes time, after all.
Hey, if she can't really slow down, at least she might be wearing flats.

Questions To Ask After Darr
Posted: January 14, 2014 at 5 a.m.
Arkansas has seven constitutional officers: governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer, auditor and land commissioner. In the past year, two of them, first Treasurer Martha Shoffner and then Lt. Gov. Mark Darr, have been forced to resign due to financial improprieties. At some point, Arkansans should ask ourselves, to paraphrase the old breakup excuse, if it's not just them, but it's also us.

Record highs in the D.C. area today?
With temperatures around the 70 degree mark, are any record highs at risk of being broken? Find out here.
Record high temperatures today at our regional airports:
Reagan National: 74° - 1973
BWI Thurgood Marshall: 73° - 1990
Dulles Airport: 71° - 1998
Warm temperatures have been the talk of the town over the past few days, and record highs may be possible today in a few locations. Above are the records for today. Be sure to check the temperatures here over the next couple of hours to see if they have been broken.
Dulles Airport did break a record yesterday when it topped out at 70 degrees. This was the last record that wasn't at 70 degrees or more for the month of November at the recording station.
The D.C. area only hits the 70 degree mark about once every other year after November 27th so it is not the most unlikely weather pattern, just well above normal.
Check out the 7-Day which shows the cooling trend over the next few days.

Senate bill would end life without parole sentences
Jan 18, 2013 - By Ben Neary, The Associated Press
CHEYENNE -- Under a bill proposed Thursday, Wyoming would no longer have a prison sentence of life without parole -- a punishment currently reserved for first-degree murder convictions or repeated sex offenses.
The measure would prohibit such sentences in the future and allow the governor to shorten prison terms for inmates facing such time.
Sen. Bruce Burns, R-Sheridan, said he raised the plan "for the sake of the state."
"Right now we have about 21 or 22 people in for life without parole, and there will be more," Burns said. "And at some point, we're going to have an aged population of people serving life without parole, and the state's going to be responsible for their medical care."
Burns said the plan would give the governor the authority to "basically get rid of the state's responsibility for these people."
Cheyenne District Attorney Scott Homar opposes the measure, saying that in some cases, particularly when it comes to sex offenses, "There's just no question that life without the possibility of parole is the only penalty they should get."
Linda Burt, with the ACLU of Wyoming, said her group might have concerns with Burns' bill because it could result in more people receiving death sentences.
Burns spoke at a hearing last week in favor of a separate House bill that would prohibit sentences of life without parole for juvenile offenders.

Gadhafi's defenders quickly melted away as his 42-year rule crumbled, but the leader's whereabouts were unknown and pockets of resistance remained.

City traders are still waiting for the government of Uganda to pay up $41m that the government of South Sudan owes them for buying grain almost four years ago.
Traders say they supplied the S. Sudan with maize and sorghum worth $56m (Shs 140bn) between 2008 and 2010. The South Sudan government only paid up $14.8m (Shs 37.3bn) of the total, and requested for more time to clear the debt.
But after paying the first schedule, the South Sudan government defaulted, forcing traders to petition Parliament to make the Uganda government to pay off the debt since it was the guarantor. A committee was set up by MPs to look into the matter.
Its report recommended that South Sudan pays up the outstanding $41m (Shs 104bn) without further delay. Members from the Uganda-South Sudan grain Traders Association (USSTSAL) and Uganda Traders Association of South Sudan (UTASS) say that the debt is overdue and since the government is involved, it should be the one to pay.
Traders say it is now four years and there has not been a solution to their plight. Chris Kaijuka, the chairman of USSTSAL, said the failure by South Sudan to pay money had brought a lot of suffering on traders; some have defaulted on their loans, losing property to either banks or loan sharks.
"Most of the money was borrowed from banks. They [banks] want their money back. Some of the traders have died from stress because of debts and our suppliers have lost trust in us," he said.
The MOU with the government of S. Sudan, a copy of which The Observer has seen, dated November 21, 2011 and signed by the then trade minister Kahinda Otafiire on behalf of Uganda and Ambassador Deng Alor, who was then minister of Regional Cooperation, and David Deng Athorbei, minister of Finance from South Sudan, stipulated on how the traders would be paid.
At a recent press conference at Fairway hotel in Kampala, Kaijuka said South Sudan had now changed tactics and was using different traders who they pay on delivery.
"When we ask, we are told people are at war and there is no money," he said.
In 2008, S. Sudan called for bids to supply grains and cereals for food. Traders from Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia were chosen and asked to supply the region. It reached a situation, however, when individual companies could not meet the demand. Instead, they formed an association and decided to work through the government.
In 2010, South Sudan and Uganda signed an MOU where the details of companies were divulged and the verification of the supplies conducted. South Sudan gave a payment schedule from 2010 and by June 2011 the payments could have been completed. However, the traders say S. Sudan honoured only one payment.
Since the government committed itself to see that these traders are paid, an account was opened at the central bank, with the ministry of Finance tasked to see that the traders were paid.
Traders further argued that since the government was responsible and acted as the guarantor for the South Sudan government, it was only right that it paid up.
Issa Sekitto, the publicist of Kampala City Traders Association, said the issue raised questions about the spirit of trading in South Sudan.
"If a whole government of South Sudan is behaving like this, what do you expect its people who take goods on credit to do? They give bad examples to their people," he said.

I am a proud citizen of a small community. Sometimes we take for granted the benefits of living next to family and lifelong friends. There are also times we overlook great services in our small community.
At 5 a.m. Jan. 26, my family was faced with a true emergency. My 2-year old son, Seth, woke from his sleep and was gasping for each breath. We had to make some very quick decisions and time was our enemy. Snow had just covered the roads, and I had to drive very carefully with my son struggling to breathe in the back seat.
The Governor's Cup double elimination district academic tournament held Feb. 13 at Trimble County High School, featured teams from Trimble, Carroll and Henry counties.
Trimble coaches Jon Graham and Marcia Graham, the Bonnie and Clyde of TCHS academics, had their hands full as they hosted the tourney in their first year of coaching the high school's academic team.
Well, it's official. We're in a recession. Oh, of course I've heard this news for several months now, so it comes as no surprise.
But I'd been fortunate. Up to now, it hadn't really affected me much.
My husband and I have a nice home with a reasonable monthly mortgage payment. From what we can tell, at least for now, both of our jobs seem fairly safe. Yes, we do have some credit-card and other debt, but we are working hard to reduce what we owe. Our goal is, ultimately, to eliminate all of it when we retire.
It's been a long time coming, but Christian Academy of Carrollton finally received temporary approval to use its new gymnasium.
Just the mention of the nuisance ordinance raised tempers and a heated exchange at City Council Monday night.
Art Zook, part-time city code enforcement officer, requested council to consider making changes to the nuisance ordinance, as well as create several new ordinances.
Zook presented to council a list of four recommendations he believes would help to improve the appearance of properties within the city of Carrollton.

Following the Raiders' win over the visiting Williamstown boys team on homecoming night, the Lady Raiders couldn't rise to the occasion and fell 49-62 to the Lady Demons.
The Trimble girls took to the hardwood with excitement Saturday night, coming off a recent win against Henry County that garnered the team just their second win of the season.
To the editor,
To the fine people of Trimble County, I want to sincerely thank all of the wonderful people who have been such a great help to me during this emergency recovery stay in Trimble County.
First of all, I want to thank Morgan's Pharmacy-especially Bob Boyer, who has been more than kind and helpful during this time. Mr. and Mrs. Boyer are true angels.
I would also like to thank the Trimble County EMS for all of their expertise and prompt, professional service. They have been life savers!
To the editor,
On January 29, 2009 our house caught on fire from a kerosene heater. The Milton and Bedford Fire Departments were dispatched to our house.
We want to thank everyone for the hard work trying to save our house.
We especially would like to thank Bedford's Chief Michael Barnes for trying to save our pets. We are very thankful he was able to save our dog. He made several trips into the house to save our cats, but even with all his hard work we lost them. However, we are grateful for his efforts.
A man arrested last week for allegedly robbing Carrollton's First National Bank was indicted Monday by the Carroll County grand jury, along with a woman police believe to be an accomplice in the Jan. 23 crime.
Cecil J. Messer, 45, was indicted for second-degree robbery, a Class B felony. He is being held in the Carroll County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond.
Michelle Lynn McKinney, 31, of Wrights Ridge Road, Carrollton, was indicted on one count of first-degree complicity to robbery, also a Class B felony.
It was standing room only during the Friday and Saturday performances of "Grease" this past weekend in the Sam Simpson Auditorium at Carroll County Middle School.
In fact, Saturday's tickets were sold out and hopeful theater-goers were asked to return for an extra showing Sunday afternoon.
And it seems the wait was worth it. Audiences were treated to an impressive production with fabulous sets, excellent costumes and outstanding singing and dancing by the actors, all middle- and high-school students.

"Alfarabi on Intentionality"
It is argued that "intentionality" is a translation of the Arabic ma'nā, especially as this term is employed in the philosophy of Islamic Peripatetics. Franz Brentano, a modern Aristotelian philosopher, in his Psychology from An Empirical Standpoint, introduces "intentionality" to contemporary philosophy and claims that every mental phenomenon is characterized by intentionality, that is, by the inclusion of an object within itself (88). In his habilitationshcrift titled the Psychology of Aristotle, Brentano claims that Avicenna, Alfarabi's successor, loses Aristotle's insight that the soul does not think without an image, or to put it as Brentano does: "the sensory ceases to be the source of intellectual cognition." I will address the inadequacy of this critique of Avicenna elsewhere. Here I want to show that Brentano's critique does not apply to Alfarabi either. Now there is some pressure in contemporary philosophy to adopt the view that Brentano criticizes. In "Being and Being Known," for example, Wilfrid Sellars argues that Thomas Aquinas hastily placed the senses in the intentional order, when in fact they, the senses, have only a "pseudo-intentionality, which is easily mistaken for the genuine intentionality of the cognitive order." Sellars's positive view, then, seems to accord with the reading of Avicenna that is championed by Brentano and others. In this essay, I dispute the Sellarsian position that may make it attractive to hold the position Brentano attributes to Avicenna. I then show that Alfarabi, Avicenna's precursor, already formulates a view of intentionality that includes the sensory thoughts as possessing genuine intentionality.
Janis Esots (London)
"Al-Fārābī and Ismā'īlī Thought: Tracing Mutual Influences"
My paper will deal with the mutual influences of al-Fārābī and Ismā'īlī thinkers, particularly in political philosophy, cosmology and eschatology.
As argued by Daiber, al-Fārābī appears to have developed the principal thesis of his political philosophy –that religion is a picture and imitation of philosophy – from the seminal remarks of the Ismā'īlī dā'ī Abū Ḥātim al-Rāzī. I will reassess the claim, examining the relevant passages. In turn, al-Fārābī's influence on the Ismā'īlī thought is believed to have occurred mainly through Ḥamīd al-Dīn al-Kirmānī's works, in which he reproduces al-Fārābī's cosmological hierarchy of the ten intellects. I intend to critically examine De Smet's hypothesis of the radically different role of the hierarchy in both systems. Finally, I will compare the structure of the Ismā'īlī eschatological Column of Light with that of al-Fārābī's Excellent City.
Luis López-Farjeat (Mexico City)
"Al-Fārābī on the 'Language' of Non-Human Animals"
In the De interpretatione Aristotle distinguished between articulate and inarticulate voices. While articulate voices are a combination of vowels and consonants, an inarticulate voice would be any sound uttered by non-human animals. Nevertheless, al-Fārābī debated this view. In his Long Commentary on the De Interpretatione, al-Fārābī amends Aristotle's position and develops an argumentation that takes into account some considerations regarding non-human animals' behavior found in Aristotle's treatises on animals. After presenting al-Fārābī's view concerning the 'language' of non-human animals, I briefly discuss to what extent non-human animals' capacities to express and communicate themselves, broadens our comprehension of what Mediaeval Islamic philosophers understood by language.
Nicholas Oschman (Milwaukee)
"From the Agent Intellect: Interpreting the Agent Intellect's Role in Human Knowledge in al-Farabi"
It has been argued by certain scholars, e.g. Herbert Davidson, Th. Anne Druart, and Damien Janos, that al-Fārābī's Risalah fi-l-'aql represents an immature and unfinished stage of al-Fārābī's thought in light of more mature works like his al-Siyāsah al-Madaniyyah and al-Madīnah al-Fādilah. Druart even goes so far as to suggest that the Risalah, while written by al-Fārābī, does not represent his own position, but is merely the exercise of a dutiful commentator of Aristotle. Janos cites al-Fārābī's inconsistent use of terminology, particularly the term for form (ṣuwar) as proof of the immaturity of the Risalah, while both Davidson and Druart note that the Risalah identifies the Active Intellect as the giver of sublunary forms while his more mature works seem to credit form-giving to the Celestial bodies. That said, the Risalah contains within it al-Fārābī's most robust account of the human intellect and the only full account of his doctrine of abstraction. In this paper, I will argue that while the Risalah represents a less mature work of al-Fārābī, he maintains the same doctrines in both the Risalah and his mature works. The differences between their doctrines are primarily cosmetic, brought about by the shift in terminology identified by Janos. In light of this consistency, al-Fārābī's doctrine of abstraction found within the Risalah may be viewed as an informative supplement to his less complete, but more mature, discussions of epistemology.
Mark Schulz (Milwaukee)
"Being and God as Subjects of Metaphysics in Al-Farabi and Duns Scotus"
In The Aims of Aristotle's Metaphysics, Al-Farabi presents a conception of metaphysics on which being is its primary subject and God is discussed as cause of being and the goal of its inquiry. This view of metaphysics went on to be highly influential in the subsequent medieval Arabic and Latin philosophical tradition. Less well known is that Al-Farabi understands immaterial being as a secondary subject and takes metaphysics in some way to be divine science. In this paper I will look at how Duns Scotus similarly treats both being and God as subjects of metaphysics in his Questions on Metaphysics, and how he takes metaphysics to be divine science. Although Scotus never read Al-Farabi's Aims, Scotus' position is developed precisely in reaction to Avicenna as criticized by Averroes. Whereas Averroes sees God rather than being as the subject of metaphysics, as for Avicenna, Scotus, not unlike Al-Farabi, finds a way to say that both God and being serve as subject. So, this paper investigates various ways in which for Scotus, as for Al-Farabi, ontology and theology may be seen as aspects of the Aristotelian science of metaphysics.

"Some Speculations on Farabi Reception of Thrax Tekhne Grammatike"
The relation of language and logics is one of those subjects which knows no place and time and can be discussed anew with things unsaid before. And in the ancient and medieval understanding and mentality about this relationship Aristotle and those who are inspired by and followed him shape a suitable forum.
With regard to this background and the salient role, position and effects of Dionysus Thrax Tekhne Grammatike (TG) as a classical and traditional guiding hand book in the field of ancient Greek morphology and syntax, about Farabi's direct or indirect reception of the so-called TG (as it is extant and available for him) in the First and Second Discourses of his Arabic treatise اللافاظ المستعمله في المنطق Utterances Used in Logic (LMM) some speculations will be made.
As the title of Farabi's treatise shows, his main concern is about the complex and disputed issue of the relation between logic and language / grammar. Accordingly, it is normal and logical that he begins his writing with a discussion about grammar and it is in this broad context that in his mainly two first discourses he considers kinds of meaningful words and their divisions. Therefore the initial titles of TG about "Reading" up to "Syllables" which have no relation with his main concern are unavailable. As a result the main issue is about word and its divisions that in TG cover about eight titles. And it is here that Farabi makes his contribution in the following way.
Farabi considers the parts of speech: Noun, Verb, and Particle. In contrast to Thrax, in about one page he gives a short and rather more descriptions about noun and verb respectively. But when reaches to particles we can see his "partial" reception of TG for according to his words, "Arabic grammarian did not distinguish between different kinds of hurūf, and he – Farabi- has therefore had to borrow names for these different hurūf from Greek grammatical scholars …. "(Versteegh, P. 51. Emphasis is added). Accordingly in about six pages he classifies particles in five broad genera with different kinds: Substitutions; Connectives; Mediators; Peripheries (more detailed than the other four); and Conjunctions.
After this primary image, there will be quantitative and content comparison between these two texts in order to see in which points and where Farabi makes his reception. For example, such a logical / conceptual title as "substitutions / الخوالف has the first order in LMM, but in TG under the title of Pronoun / αντονυμια it has fifth. In Farabi text substitutions are divided into two personal and demonstrative kinds in short lines with Arabic examples but Thrax writes longer about pronoun under six brief titles which contains the personal pronouns but there is no mentioning to demonstrative ones.

Special feature: Tyre buying guide
Q&A: Retreads or new tyres?
Drive Team I drive a 2003 Toyota Camry and the tyres are due for replacement. Mainly on "environmental" grounds, I was thinking about replacing the tyres with retreads.
Ask the experts: Replacing tyres
Q. I have a current-model Nissan Maxima (2009 with 53,000 kilometres) and the tyres are due to be replaced.
Buying new tyres: The first step
The first question you have to ask yourself when buying new tyres is what are you going to use them for?
How much should I pay for new tyres?
Joshua Gliddon Tyre prices range from less than $100 to more than $1000. How much should you spend on your next tyres?
Should I consider retreads?
Joshua Gliddon They may be cheap, but retreads have many drawbacks.
Caring for your tyres
Joshua Gliddon Regular checks can prolong the life of your tyres while making your car safer to drive.
What does a wheel alignment do?
Toby Hagon If your car's wheels are out of alignment you could be adversely affecting tyre wear, fuel consumption and more.
What does a wheel balance do?
Toby Hagon Are one or more of your car's wheels vibrating at speed? They may need a wheel balance.
What tyres should I put on my car?
Joshua Gliddon With so many choices, which tyres should you put on your car when it comes time to replace them?
Tyre guide: What's written on the side?
Joshua Gliddon The side of a tyre contains plenty of information. Here's your guide to deciphering it.
When does my car need new tyres?
Joshua Gliddon Driving on old or worn out tyres can be illegal and dangerous. But when does your car need new tyres?
New tyres: Too cheap to be true?
Joshua Gliddon 'Grey imports' may look the same as tyres designed for Australia, but there can be crucial differences.
Air or nitrogen?
Joshua Gliddon Is it worth paying to have your tyres filled with nitrogen?
Repairing a flat tyre
Joshua Gliddon A flat tyre can't necessarily mean it can be repaired.
Run flats and space saver tyres
Joshua Gliddon They may suit car makers, but run flat tyres and space saver tyres aren't ideal if you get a puncture.
What does the law say about new tyres?
Joshua Gliddon They may look simple, but tyres are a crucial part of your car's safety system and must adhere to strict regulations.
Fitting bigger wheels and tyres
Joshua Gliddon Larger wheels and tyres may look sexy, but make sure they adhere to the law and keep your insurance company happy.

It's time to declare victory and go home. That was the formula that Senator George Aiken famously suggested for Vietnam in 1966. Today, it bears relevance to Iraq. No, not to the U. S. military presence in that country, but to the Democrats in Congress.
Since November, the Pelosi-Reid Democrats have demonstrated shocking disdain for the well-being of our country. Their only concern has been to defeat or embarrass George W. Bush. Once, one of the noblest American traditions held that politics stops at the water's edge. But, for the Pelosi-Reid Democrats, it seems that the inverse is true: namely, that national interests stop when the opportunity arises for partisan point-scoring.
In the last few weeks, however, a number of Democratic voices have been raised to observe that General Petraeus's surge strategy seems to be working in Iraq. "We are finally getting somewhere in Iraq, at least in military terms," wrote Michael O'Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack of The Brookings Institution in a widely quoted op-ed. Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois reported from Baghdad that our forces are "making some measurable progress." And Anthony Cordesman, a strong critic of the war, said after a recent visit to the country, "real military progress is taking place."
In view of these hopeful assessments, it would be criminally irresponsible to deny Petraeus the time and resources he needs to see if he can pull America's chestnuts from the fire. It would also, in the end, be bad politics. Congressional Democrats should drop their efforts to force surrender upon us. Instead, they should try to take credit for the fact that things are improving. They can argue plausibly that by holding Bush's feet to the fire, they forced him to adjust strategy, bringing on a new field commander and authorizing the surge. The Democrats should, in short, declare victory and go home.

Much of the park is classified as wilderness area, where vehicles are unable to visit. The park provides one of the last natural habitats at the Little River Gorge for the endangered Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby. Numbers for this species are estimated as extremely small, with the rugged terrain making it difficult to accurately monitor the species population. Over 250 native species have been recorded in the park, 29 of which are considered rare or threatened in Victoria, including the Long-footed Potoroo, Spotted Quoll (Tiger Quoll), Giant Burrowing Frog and Eastern She-oak Skink.
Little River gorge is Victoria's deepest gorge, with the Little River dropping 610 metres off the Wulgulmerang plateau over 14 km to the Snowy River at an elevation of 122 metres above sea level.
McKillops Road is the northern park boundary, with the Alpine National Park to the north of the road. The road is designated unsuitable for caravans, trailers and semi-trailers due to its long, narrow, and steep descent down to McKillops Bridge which crosses the Snowy River near its juncture with the Deddick River. A camping site near McKillops Bridge provides an excellent site for swimming, launching canoes and rafting through the rugged gorges downstream, or the start for the 18km Silver Mine Walking Track and the short Snowy River Trail.
