imam ali(as)'s 3 sons-abu bakr,umar,uthman T/F?
Posted 10 July 2009 - 12:13 PM
to all brothers and sisters
Recently i came across the following ahle sunnah website
I went through very briefly and find most of their claims very much fake concerning fadak and the difference of opinion between abu bakr and bibi fatimah(as).They claim that it was bibi fatimah zahra(as)'s mistake (nauzubillah).Through claiming that she was wrong they don't even realise that they are proving Allah(swt) (nauzubillah) who revealed the all verses about her characteristics and purity and sinless bieng.
But something which is pondering my mind is that they even claim that imam ali(as) had three sons whom he named abu bakr,umar,uthman after the first 3 caliphs.Adding to this i saw a video of ziyarah in najaf and i remember that i even saw in it marqade abu bakr ibne ali ibne abi talib.I don't know much of history but i want to know the views of you brothers and sisters as my simple mind is not that much able to understand this that if imam ali(as) named his three sons after the first 3 caliphs did he really had dignity,respect and admiration for the first 3 caliphs or its a false claim that he named his first 3 sons after them.

Yes it's true because i read about this in a book named,''HUSSAIN SHANAASI".In this book author mentions that Hazrat Ali named his three son's umar,abu-bakr and usman.They were the son's of Hazrat Umm-ul-Baneen(mother of Hazrat Abbas(as)) and three of them were martyred in the battle of Karbala.Assuming that what should be the consequences,why he did so?That"s a pretty much complicated question but one thing is for sure that he had no repect for sheikhain.

He is the best shia lecturer i have ever came across,and he knows all the strategies and tactics how to defend ahlulbayt and attack the false claims made by other schools in islams.

Why does it matter what he names his kids?
There were many Shia at the time of the Imams who had "Sunni names"
Read the chains of our hadiths; you'll see many Shia named "Umar" or "Uthman" or even "Muawyia" or "Yazid"
They were popular names back then.
Imagine if a really evil person named "Hassan" lived now. Most people would still name their kids "Hassan" because it has a good connotation which isn't smeared by one evil guy named "Hassan"
I personally don't know if it is true if Imam Ali named his kids those three names (though it would be strange if he named his kid "Abu Bakr", because it's a kunya or a nickname, not a real name); it's odd that Sheikh al-Mufid , in "kitab al-irshad" has the names of the kids of the Imams, except Ali's .
Again, I don't know if it's true, but it wouldn't be a big deal then, because they were common names.
For instance "Yazid bin Abdullah" was a Shia who died during the occultation of Imam Mahdi and left property to the Imam (ajts).
"Uthman bin Isa al-Amiri" was a follower of Imam Musa al-Kadhim (and a leader of the Waqifites) and is said to have joined Imam Ridha
Imam Hassan even named one of his kids "Umar". "Umar bin Hassan bin Ali bin Abi Talib" was killed with Imam Hussein at Karbala. Umar bin Hassan's kunya seems to have been "Abu Bakr!"
Imam Zain al-Abadeen even named one of his children "Umar". "Umar bin Ali bin Hussein" was in charge of the endowments of the Prophet and Ali . And he related hadiths and was close to Imams Baqir and as-Sadiq(as)
As for "Abu Bakr", "Abu Bakr al Fahfaki" was a close adherent to Imam al-Hadi
Also, "Muawyia bin Ammar al-Duhni " was a leading Shia of Imams Sadiq and al-Kadhim
Again, I don't know if Imam Ali really named his kids those names, but you can open up any book of rijal and find many Shia being named those names. I got these names (along with their description) from Sheikh al-Mufid's "Kitab al-Irshad"

but naming three sons all together as abu bakr,umar,uthman particularly after the names of the first three caliphs is something not common or something which cannot be said that its just a name and been given........
Posted 14 July 2009 - 02:27 PM
He might want to show that there is nothing wron in the name, but rather with people's mentality who look down upon innocent people named so (as mentioned above) who suffer due to another person with the same name.

Dear brothers and Sisters in islam
From my own experience, I can suggest that Imam Ali Made it Particularly for sincere believers of the ends of times because he knew very well that by the ends of times the large number of Muslims Would follow the Path of these usurpers caliphs . let me explain my own personnal and private experience for you please. I am born Sunni from Sunni parents since 1 or 2 centuries; The version of Islam we received from arabs is the Sunni school in our Central African area, thus, my father is named Umar, his big Brother my onvle is Named Abu bakar, and his little Brother my oncle is named Usman, my Ant is also named after Ayesha ! ( fortunately my mother is named ... Fatima Zahra and myself... Isma'il my big brother brother jibra'il...)
Now suppose that the Names "Abu bakr", "Umar" "Usman"... not the specific personnalities or individuals holding these names being confusingly considered as infamous and even "cursed ones" due to their outrageous misdeeds ( shaytan (l.a) himself has not done so much than these 3 caliphs individuals in terms of evil deeds).
My point is that as you know we are some innocent victioms of history falsifications and mystifications as well as the false propagandas of Bakrit sects , mainly the salafi-wahhabi nasibis. Should I confuse my father's and uncles, ants names with those of Abu bakr Abdullah ibn Abu quhafa, umar ibn al Khattab or Usman ibn Affan ??? no I think Imam Ali has thought about people like me and my parents, because the weak mind of brainwashed african people could easily confuse these things and thus make some useless and valueless troubles. of course my grand father named his sons after the caliphs, but it was due to his complete ignorance of what these 3 individuals has done to our holy prophet and his Ahl ul bayt .
Last but not least, for you guys overthere in Iran, irak, arabic countries , Europe and Asia it would seem meaningless but believe me, if Imam Ali had not named his sons with these names , we will feel as if we were holding the names of " SHAYTAN" , "IBLISS" , "PHAROAH", "NEMROD" ...
The Prince of the believers, IMAM ALI was far sighted , thus confirming in my view his knowledged of the unseen. May Allah ÓÈÍÇäå æÊÚÇáì hasten the reappearance of the Sahib az zamaan , Imam al Mahdi (atf) !.

This article: http://answering-ans...es/en/index.php goes through a really good argument about it that you may find useful insha Allaah. Back then those names were very popular, and also there were other good muslims with those names.

Imam Ali did give names such as Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman. What we need to understand is this, these names were common and popular arabic names and it is in no way related to Imam Ali using these names because of the 1st 3 caliphs. Likewise, if you look at some of Imam Ali's companions in the Wars of Siffin and Jamal, he had loyal companions called Yazid in his army who were martyred for the sake of Allah. Now these companions were not named after Yazid ibn Muawiyah. There was even a companion called Yazid in the army of Imam Hussain.
In conclusion, the names bore no relevance to the people who had disputes with the Ahlul Bayt. They were just common arab names. And Allah knows best

This thing always nevr made sense to me
If I am man named Jon and my dad left a big wasya for my name but Eric (Fake Friend of my dad that betray against him when hes sick for politics) comes to take it than he kill my wife and child (or has some thugster do it) and everything he does is so to make fun against my dad than I dont think I will name my son as Eric. Even if it is common name. It just woudnt make sense. I mean like today, nobody whos Shia can say "my son Yazed" so we obviously feel this way so how much more AMEER AL MOMINEEN AS will feel if this done against PROPHET AS?????
So these traditions about names for children has to be fake and the ones in rijal books means they are from the convert family or also fake...
Posted 27 January 2010 - 01:25 PM
Hazrat Ali as most would agree did have three sons named Abu Bakar, Umar & Uthman. I know this may seem a little confusing especially after the hatred which the Shia's have for the first 3 Caliphs of Islam.
I wont be going into detail of the accusations, fabricated hadiths and other lies which are ascribed to the above mentioned figures in Islam, but to simply solve the confusion/question with logic.
To look at this from a neutral perspective i will take into account that the above 3 names were very common names, and many people during the lifetime of the Prophet had these names and those after him were also given these names..
Logical Explanation
To evaluate the reason for choosing the three names, we can very easily use probability to see what the chances are of selecting 3 names in that particular order from the total number of names possible. There are in total approximately 1,520 muslim names which can be used to names ones child, however to favour this explanation i will only be using half this number (760), so my reasons are not biased.
A simple calculation of percentages will show the chances of selecting 3 names in a specific order..this can be seen from the following calculation:
(1/760) x (1/759) x (1/758) = 2.414 x 10^-9 if that number means nothing to you then this equates to roughly 1 in 437,244,720 (1 in 437 Million)
760= Total number of names
759 = Total number of names -1
758 = Total number of names -2
If that doesn't convince you that this was not just a random selection.. then seen the below..
The Challenge to all Shia
Let us be even more reasonable and ignore the above explanation and further agree with the Shia.
Ok the names were selected by Hazrat Ali , we will agree with you and we will ignore the above 1 in 437 million chance explanation. Then why is it that no Shia is willing to follow in the footsteps of Hazrat Ali in naming their sons Abu Bakar, Umar or Uthman, and I challenge ANY Shia to name their children with one of these names, or even the name Aisha for that matter if is a daughter.
After all your only following in the footsteps of your Imam?
Brothers and sisters, the answers are very simple if only our minds were fit to receive. See the below quotation relating to the Companions of our Prophet and what Allah ÓÈÍÇäå æÊÚÇáì has promised them..
9:100 And as for the first and foremost of those who have forsaken the domain of evil and of those who have sheltered and succoured the Faith, [132] as well as those who follow them in [the way of] righteousness - God is well-pleased with them, and well--pleased are they with Him. And for them has He readied gardens through which running waters flow, therein to abide beyond the count of time: this is the triumph supreme!

Regarding the naming of children all conditions will fit in one of the following categories:
1- You love some one and you name your child after that person.
2- You love some one and your child has the same name as that person but you naming your child the same as that persons name has nothing got to do with the fact that you loved that person.
3- You love some one but you don't name your child after that person.
4- You don't love some one and you don't name your child after that person.
5- You don't love some one but your child has the same name as that person.
If someone comes out of the blue and says: "Hey, Imam Ali named his children so and so because he loved so and so, Its up to him to prove that claim because Imam Ali could have also named his children so and so because of condition No. 5. You see the point? So instead of you having all kinds of bad thoughts and wasting your time to dis-prove what he said you just mention what I said and firmly tell him TO PROVE WHAT HE CLAIMS! I confidently doubt he can prove such a thing. You can prove the opposite. I will show below.
You can also use this counter attack: Tell your Sunni friends If people name their children after the people they love and dont name their children after the people they dont love (If he objects here then he has disproved his first claim) then we can conclude that Omar, Uthman and abubakr didn't love the Prophets ahlulbayt i.e. Fatimah, Imama Ali, Imam Hassan and Imam Hossein because none of them had any children by these names!
Anyway, the names Umar, Othman, abubakr, Yazid... were common names at those times and have nothing to do with loving them. Many of the Imams companions had these names but didn't love these people and neither had their parents. Check out some Rijal books to see what I mean.
I also found a great answer here: http://www.valiasr-a...question&id=437 (Sorry its in persian).
I will translate the key points. It was very interesting for me and I know it will be for you too:
It is a known fact that Abubakr is an epithet and this persons real real name was one of the following (the narrations differ): Abdul ka'ba, Atiq, Abdullah... It is also a known fact that Abubakr was not the name of Imam Ali's son but also his Epithet. And the epithet is not something that a father chooses for his son. This is usually chosen by the person himself!
Umar had this very stupid habit of changing other peoples names (another reason to hate him). It has been narrated that Umar himself and not Ali put this name on Imam Ali's son. It has been narrated that:
æßÇä ÚãÑ Èä ÇáÎØÇÈ Óãøì ÚãÑ Èä Úáíø ÈÅÓãå.
"Umar ibn Khitab named Alis son like his own name, Umar" , Al-Biladhiri, Ansab ul-Ashraf, vol. 1, p. 297.
It has also been narrated:
æãæáÏå Ýí ÃíÇã ÚãÑ. ÝÚãÑ ÓãÇå ÈÇÓãå. ÇáÐåÈí¡ ÔãÓ ÇáÏíä ãÍãÏ Èä ÃÍãÏ Èä ÚËãÇä¡ (ãÊæÝÇí748åÜ)¡ ÓíÑ ÃÚáÇã ÇáäÈáÇÁ¡ Ì 4¡ Õ 134¡
"He (Imam Ali's son) was born in the time of Umar and so Umar named him the same as himself", Al-dhahabi, Seir a'lab al-nabala, vol.4, p.134
From this we can easily conclude that Imam Ali didn't call his son Umar, but Umar did this by force or whatever!
There are at least three narrations that show Umar changed other peoples names:
1-There was a person called Abdulrahman ibn Harith whose father had named him Ibrahim but Umar changed his name to abdulrahman. Ibn Hajar al-asqalani, al-isabah fi tamiz al-sahabah, vol. 5, p.29.
2-There was a person called al-ajda' ibn malik umar (also) changed his name to abdulrahman. Ibn Hajar al-asqalani, al-isabah fi tamiz al-sahabah, vol. 1, p.186.
3-There was a person called thalah ibn sa'd. Umar changed his name to 'Moalli'. Al-ootabi, AL-ansab, vol 1, p. 250.
Ibn hajar in his book al-isabah vol. 4 p.587-597 mentions at least 21 of the companions who were called Umar. If indeed Imam Ali named his son Umar (which he didn't) after someone he loved then he could be any of these 21 people and not Umar ibn Khitab.

UTHMAN: I already mentined this: Imam ALi said: "I have named him after my brother Othman Ibn Madh'oon" and i gave references from shia books. Well here is a reference from Sunni books: AL-Isfahani, Maqatil ul-talebin, vol. 1, p. 23.
If naming your children is because you love someone then all Muslims should call their boys Muhammad!!! Oops again. I will now give you another reason to hate Umar: Ibn batal al-bikri, Sharhe sahih ul-bukhari, vol. 9, p. 344 and also Ibn hajar al-asqalani, fat-hul bari fi sharhe sahih ul-bukhari, vol. 10, p.572:
"Umar wrote a (letter) to the People of Kufa that no one should name his child like the name of the messenger (of Allah)" (Shows how much he loved the prophet!!!).
Did Imam Ali love Umar and Abubakr (to even consider naming his children after them)?
sahih of Muslim, vol. 3 p.1378, No. 1757:
ÝóáóãøóÇ ÊõæõÝøöìó ÑóÓõæáõ Çááøóåö -Õáì Çááå Úáíå æÓáã- ÞóÇáó ÃóÈõæ ÈóßúÑò ÃóäóÇ æóáöìøõ ÑóÓõæáö Çááøóåö -Õáì Çááå Úáíå æÓáã- ÝóÌöÆúÊõãóÇ ÊóØúáõÈõ ãöíÑóÇËóßó ãöäó ÇÈúäö ÃóÎöíßó æóíóØúáõÈõ åóÐóÇ ãöíÑóÇËó ÇãúÑóÃóÊöåö ãöäú ÃóÈöíåóÇ ÝóÞóÇáó ÃóÈõæ ÈóßúÑò ÞóÇáó ÑóÓõæáõ Çááøóåö -Õáì Çááå Úáíå æÓáã- « ãóÇ äõæÑóËõ ãóÇ ÊóÑóßúäóÇ ÕóÏóÞóÉñ ».

[Imam Ali and Abbas went to see umar for some matters. This is what Umar said to them]: "After the Prophet passed away Abubakr said: 'I am the successor of the Prophet . Then you two people (Ali and Abbas) came and you Abbas asked for what you nephew (i.e. the prophet PBUH) had left (as inheritance) and you Ali came and asked for what had been left for Fatimah as inheritance. Then Abubakr said: 'I heard the Prophet say we (prophets) leave nothing (as inheritance) and what is left from us is sadaqa.' Then you two announced him as A LIAR, A SINNER, A CHEATER AND A BETRAYER and Allah knows!!! that he was an honest faithful and follower of the truth!!! After the death of Abubakr I became the successor of him and the Prophet and again you two announced me as a A LIAR, A SINNER, A CHEATER AND A BETRAYER (as well)."
I can completely see the great Love Ali had towards Umar and Abubakr in these words: " LIAR, SINNER, CHEATER, BETRAYER"
Hope this Helps .

These are the names of Imam Ali's children that Sheikh al-Mufid(ra) mentions in Kitab al-Irshad:
1) al-Hasan
2) al-Husayn
3) Zaynab the elder
4) Zaynab the younger (she was given the kunya 'Umm Kulthum'
Their mother was Fatimah al-Zahra
5) Muhammad (he was given the kunya 'Abu al-Qasim')
His mother was Khawla bint Ja'far bin Qays al-Hanafi
6) Umar
7) Ruqayya
They were twins and their mother was Umm Habib bint Rabi'a
8) al-Abbas
9) Ja'far
10) Uthman
11) Abdullah
These four were martyred in Karbala with their brother Imam al-Husayn . Their mother was Umm Banin bint Hizam bin Khalid bin Darim
12) Muhammad the younger (he was given the kunya Abu Bakr)
13) Ubayd Allah
These two were also martyrs in Karbala with their brother Imam al-Husayn . Their mother was Layla bint Mas'ud al-Darimi
14) Yahya
His mother was Asma bint Umays al-Khathami
15) Umm al-Hasan
16) Ramla
The mother of these two was Umm Sa'id bint 'Urwa bin Mas'ud al-Thaqafi
17) Nafisa
18) Zaynab the youngest
19) Ruqayya the younger
20) Umm Hani
21) Umm al-Kiram
22) Jumana (she was given the kunya Umm Ja'far)
24) Umm Salama
25) Maymuna
26) Khadija
27) Fatimah
These had different mothers. Among the Shia, there are those who speak of another Fatimah who they say was born after the Prophet
This list is to remove any doubts that one might have about Imam Ali 's children.
As for the reasons Ali named his children these names, the Sunnis have no basis for their theory other than pure speculation.

Most of the allegations shias place about the character and the attrocities committed by these so called Califs are from Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari . The attack on the house of the Prophet 's daughter is also from the same book beside others. And many Sunni Ulemah have accepted this fact. ( Very famous Sunni Aalim Maulana Ishaq in his Video Shia Sunni Unity)
As for the marriage of Hazrat Ali's daughter to usman is also wrong . It was some other of the same name . Here the logic applies particularly because of the huge difference of age and the fact that he was also a usurper and the mother of believer herself had termed him as a kaafir and wajib ul qatl. ( Ahle Sunnat narrations)

World Briefing | Middle East: Gaza Strip: Protesters Block Ministers
By Joseph Berger (NYT)
Published: July 29, 2004
The cars of two ministers from the Palestinian Authority were stopped on a road for two hours by protesters from the village of Beit Hanun. The protesters were angry that the authority was doing nothing to stop the bulldozing of orchards by Israeli troops trying to prevent rocket attacks against Israeli villages. The ministers, Naeem Abu al-Homos, the education minister, and Intisar al-Wazir, the social affairs minister, were returning to Gaza City after meeting with the authority's chairman, Yasir Arafat, and Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei to discuss expansion of Mr. Qurei's security powers. That issue set off an outbreak of lawlessness in Gaza. The ministers were released unharmed after promising to bring Beit Hanun's concerns to Mr. Arafat. Joseph Berger (NYT)

(Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)UPDATE: HardballTalk.com's Craig Calcaterra reports a Major League Baseball source said the league will investigate Curt Schillings claim yesterday that a Red Sox employee told him he should use performance-enhancing drugs to help recover from a shoulder injury in 2008.Curt Schilling said in an interview with ESPN Radio on Wednesday that members of the Boston Red Sox urged him to use performance enhancing drugs in 2008, the last year of his career in which he never ended up playing because of shoulder surgery before spring training.Schilling, 46, said the conversations took place in the clubhouse and that members of the Red Sox organization, who are no longer there, had said to him that the PEDs might be a path he should pursue because he had nothing to lose at that point in his career.Schilling called the discussion an "incredibly uncomfortable conversation" and said it could be overheard by a number of his teammates:"At the end of my career, in 2008 when I had gotten hurt, there was a conversation that I was involved in, in which it was brought to my attention that this is a potential path I might want to pursue. [I]t was an incredibly uncomfortable conversation. Because it came up in the midst of a group of people. The other people weren't in the conversation but they could clearly hear the conversation. And it was suggested to me that at my age and in my situation, why not? What did I have to lose? Because if I wasn't going to get healthy, it didn't matter. And if I did get healthy, great...It caught me off guard, to say the least. That was an awkward situation."Schilling officially retired in March 2009 after a career in which he was a six-time All-Star and three-time World Series champion including one World Series MVP in 2001.

The restaurant uses tilapia for this dish; we substituted the easier-to-find orange roughy.
Leave a Review
The salsa was yummy, esp w/ the recommended addition of mango. Overall, the dish was not worthy of the cost for orange roughy!flag if inappropriate
Made this with orange roughy and it was delicious. I added some cumin to the dredging flour for a little extra flavor. I was making this for my children so I didn't add the chilies, but my husband and I just added some habanero sauce to it on ours which was terrific. All the kids loved both the fish and salsa and could not stop eating the salsa! I did add extra sea salt to the salsa which helped pull the flavors together. I agree, this is a great salsa alone.flag if inappropriate
Excellent! This coming someone who really isn't that big of a fish eater. I used Tilapia instead of orange roughy. I also took someone's suggestion of adding mango to the salsa, and to me, that really made the salsa. The fish itself is very mild, but the salsa punched it up very nicely. I didn't serve it with the green beans. I served it with some whole grain and wild rice and some black beans. Yum!flag if inappropriate
I've been making this recipe for the past six years and quite often. I have never used it with orange roughy but usually some other mild white fish. The salsa is great on its own but I usually add about a teaspoon of honey to it along with salt and pepper.flag if inappropriate
I just made this with Tilapia as others suggested. YUM. I did add lime to the salsa and tossed the salsa in at the finish to warm thru, but still fresh. Can't wait to make it again!flag if inappropriate
Just FYI - if making this dish you really ought to replace the roughy with a different fish (tilapia would be okay). Orange Roughy is a highly over- fished deep-sea fish that normally has a life span of many decades.flag if inappropriate
I had a ton of left over tomatoes and onion from a BBQ so I was searching for a salsa recipe when I came across this one. I didn't make the fish, just the salsa. I thought it was a bit bland so I added salt and garlic and it was wonderful. With those small additions it is the best salsa I've ever had and I grew up in San Diego 20 minutes from the boder!flag if inappropriate
Used tilapia and was disappointed with this dish. Salsa was okay, but wasn't enough to make the tilapia worth making again.flag if inappropriate
Made with tilapia (thank you for the suggestion) and even my finicky husband loved it.flag if inappropriate
Trying to get kids to eat more fish? This recipe got raves from mine. I sometimes just bake the fish-tilapia or roughy-the salsa is the real star here. If I don't have chipotle on hand I just use some jalapeno. I've also skipped the beans. This is a keeper.flag if inappropriate

Coordinated Degree Program in Transportation Engineering and Urban Planning
The College of Engineering and Applied Science with the cooperation of the Department of Urban Planning offers a Master of Science (MS) in Engineering/Master of Urban Planning (MUP) program to prepare students for positions in transportation, public works and related fields. The purpose of this MS/MUP coordinated degree program is to meet the needs of planning and transportation professions for people who combine competence in urban planning and transportation engineering. Students in the program will concurrently pursue a Master of Urban Planning and a Master of Science in Engineering degree program.
The dual degree program in transportation studies and urban planning allows a student to earn two masters degrees after completing a minimum of 54 credit hours in the Engineering and Urban Planning departments. If a student were to earn those masters degrees separately, 72 credit hours would be required. Students in the program will meet the minimum requirements for each degree and then complete the respective degree requirements with courses taken in both departments.
Under the MS/MUP program, students normally take 21 credits in engineering, 30 credits in planning and do a thesis. These programs are designed by the student to directly meet their goals and needs. A typical program of study is outlined in the following eight steps.
- Admission to each of the constituent programs.
- Completion of required core courses in Urban Planning.
- Completion of an approved technical program of studies in engineering as related to urban planning. In transportation planning this could include the following courses:
CE 490 Transportation Engineering
CE 590 Urban Transportation Planning
CE 592 Traffic Control
CE 790 Transportation Systems Design
CE 792 Methods of Transportation Analysis
CE 940 Topics in Transportation
- Completion of the Urban Planning comprehensive examination.
- Completion of the College of Engineering and Applied Science comprehensive examination.
- Completion of 6 credits in non-transportation related Urban Planning approved electives.

Motion to Table (Passed 17-13. View Roll Call Vote)
A motion was made by Ranking Member Markey to subpoena the CEOs of the companies cited in the JIT/BOEMRE oil spill report. Mr. Lamborn offered a motion to table.
The hearing on November 2nd occurred at the request of the Democrat Minority, who exercised their right under the Rules of the House and the Committee to demand a second day of hearings with witnesses that they request. The original hearing was held on October 13th and featured testimony and the opportunity for every Member of the Committee to ask questions of seven witnesses, including executives officially representing the three companies cited in the investigative report - BP, Transocean and Halliburton. There was an opportunity for every Member to ask their questions then, yet the Minority chose not to attend and to not ask questions.
Chairman Hastings stated at the hearing, "Let me be very clear, if the companies officially cited for the oil spill had outright refused to provide witnesses, testimony or answers to the Committee, then I would be leading the effort to compel them to appear, by subpoena if necessary. But those are not the facts."

Finding a natural solution

This Monday at Herb Companion HQ, we all showed up with sniffles. I can feel it coming on ... my nose is twitchy, my shoulders are achy, and my throat is scratchy. But right now it's still a baby cold. Here's hoping echinacea can come to my rescue! I'm hitting the Ulitmate Strength Echinacea from Jash Botanicals our Editor in Chief left on my desk a few months ago when I was wheezing --- I'm using it early and often this time around. This particular mixture is Echinacea angustifolia root in grain alcohol. I just put a couple of dropper-fulls in my water and try to drink a glass of water every hour or two. I'm almost out of this stuff. I think next time I'll try their Ultra Immune, which has both Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia.

Hawks End Losing Streak With Win Over NBA-Best Pacers
The Hawks came into Wednesday on a three-game losing streak but dominated the Pacers, owners of the NBA's best record, from the tip. The Hawks jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first four and a half minutes of the game and never led by fewer than eight points after that. The Pacers, already on the second game of a back-to-back, were missing Lance Stephenson, their second leading scorer, due to a right knee contusion. The tired and short-handed Pacers shot just 40.2% from the field, 33.3% from the three-point line, and only got to the free throw line nine times.
|Hawks vs. Pacers
|Photo Gallery
|Game Recap
The Hawks defense did a great job forcing the Pacers into jump shots, and when they did get to the rim the Hawks were there with a strong contest. Roy Hibbert played only 22 minutes and was limited to two points and four rebounds on 1-of-8 shooting, and on defense, he was not effective as the Hawks stretched the floor with Pero Antic to draw Hibbert out of the lane where he is so dominant.
Antic finished with 16 points and four rebounds in 27 minutes, and was 3-of-6 shooting from three-point range. Antic made a pair of first quarter threes, forcing Hibbert and the rest of Indiana's bigs to respect his range on pick-and-pops, which freed up driving lanes for Jeff Teague. Antic's range on offense and strong defense along with Elton Brand, were crucial in the Hawks making Hibbert uncomfortable, and ultimately leading to him being out of the game.
"I have to read [the pick-and-roll/pop]," Antic said. "After a make [a three], I have to mix it up. One time I pop, one time I roll, just to mix it up and play good defense on him. Today the big guys, me, EB, Paul, all did a good job, and when he rolled inside [on defense] to help to his teammates, we knocked down those shots."
"[Pero] played great tonight," Teague said. "He stretched the floor. He shot the basketball and then he competed on the defensive end. He made it tough for Hibbert tonight, and that's what we needed."
Paul George came alive in the second half after the Hawks took a 25-point lead in the third quarter, and led the Pacers' rally to get it back to a manageable deficit, but the Pacers were never able to fully reel in the Hawks. George finished with 28 points and 12 rebounds, but he was just 11-of-25 from the field and 3-of-10 from three-point range. DeMarre Carroll was very good defensively, taking away George's driving lanes while still contesting on his jump shots. Coach Bud was very pleased with the Hawks' defensive effort as a team and Carroll's play individually.
"I thought the competitive spirit from the very beginning was excellent. It showed on the defensive end. It was one of our best defensive games. In particular the first half, the activity and the energy were very high. DeMarre Carroll, on an individual basis, really set the tone for us with his defense and activity."
For the Hawks, great defense gave them opportunities on the offensive end. In the pre-game, Coach Bud said that keeping the Pacers from setting their half-court defense would be key, and the Hawks were able to execute that plan very well, especially in the first half. The Pacers league leading defense was allowing just 88.6 points per game entering this contest, but the Hawks, by getting defensive stops, were able to get into their sets quicker, not allowing the Pacers defense to settle in.
"I think the defense fueled the offense, and fueled the energy we played offense with. I thought there was just a commitment on the defensive end that spilled over to the offense. People were moving and the ball was moving. We were sharper and crisper; that's just sometimes how it works. It's just an energy you get from playing good defense."
After shooting 30.4% from three-point range over the past five games, the Hawks were 10-of-23 (43.5%) from the three-point line on the night, led by Antic and Kyle Korver with three each. Korver extended his three-point streak to 105 games with a four-point play, the seventh of his Hawks' career, in the third quarter and had 15 of his team-high 17 points in the second half.
The Hawks got a balanced effort from the entire team as Teague and Mike Scott had 15 points each and Carroll had 11 points to join Korver and Antic in double-figures. Even with a poor shooting night from Paul Millsap, two points on 1-of-10 shooting with six rebounds and five assists, the Hawks were able to find enough offense against the NBA's top defensive team.
The Hawks' ball-movement was crisp as they had 27 assists on 34 made shots, and they were aggressive attacking the Pacers at the rim, helped by Hibbert being drawn out of the paint or being out of the game altogether, as the Hawks had 22 free throw attempts and made 19.
"We're trying to re-figure things without Al," said Korver. "It's going to take a little bit of time. We're still not there, but I thought tonight was a really great game for our team. We had balanced scoring. Jeff really ran the show well. We knew where we were supposed to be. We had a great film session yesterday. Coach really pointed out a lot of things. We've been playing hard the last few games, but we haven't always been organized. We want to keep playing free, but we need to have a little more organization. I thought our spacing was great tonight, and we played with pace."
After losing a few games recently after holding a fourth quarter lead, the Hawks made a conscious effort to play with more pace rather than slowing down trying to milk the clock too much. There were a few late possessions where the Hawks still dribbled the clock down to single-digits before running a late pick-and-roll, which were unsuccessful. When the Hawks kept their half-court tempo up, they were much more effective and it helped them seal the game after the past few disappointing results.
"[The focus was] to play with better pace than them the whole game and compete throughout the whole game against one of the best teams in the league," Antic said. "I'm happy we get the win and get back to the winning road."
"Coach kept on saying that, even two, three, four minutes to play, 'Keep on running, keep on playing with pace,'" Korver said. "It's easy to say, let's slow down and get a good shot, but often times you don't get a good shot, especially against them. When they have their defense set, they're the best defensive team in the NBA by all the stats, they lead in every category. You don't want to play against their set defense…I thought we kept on going at them."
The Hawks win was a much needed boost in the standings and for the team's psyche after losing three consecutive close games. The Hawks will be tested again on Friday night, as the Rockets come to Philips Arena for their lone visit of the season.
Tweet of the Night
Pero Antic sure is taking his starting opportunity with the @ATLHawks well. 16 points today in victory over @Pacers. #makbasket

Fats, Oils and Grease Control
Fats, oils and grease can clog wastewater collection and treatment systems, causing sewage spills, manhole overflows and/or sewage backups in homes and businesses. Animal- and vegetable-based oil and grease generated by restaurants and fast-food outlets are a big part of the problem.
To help restaurant managers and owners deal with oil and grease responsibly and economically, the City of Bellevue offers instructions for installing and maintaining grease traps and interceptors, as well as information about local haulers and recyclers who deal with oils and grease. These instructions were adapted from the Fats, Oils and Grease Best Management Practices Manual produced by Brown and Caldwell for the Oregon Association of Clean Water Agencies.

3/10/2011 -
U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo.
-- The Air Force civil engineer visited the Air Force Academy March 4 as the last stop in a two-day tour of Air Force installations along the Front Range.
Maj. Gen. Timothy Byers spoke to CE officers and cadets here about the state of CE operations in Afghanistan and the effects of force management on the CE officer corps.
General Byers and his staff looked at how they could improve deployments through Silver Flag exercises, which prepare Airmen for deployment by exposing them to scenarios similar to those they will encounter downrange.
"The (U.S. Central Command) area of responsibility is not the right place for a team to come together," he said. Silver Flag allows CE officers to adjust their squadrons before they deploy and also familiarizes Airmen with enemy tactics that currently deployed CE units have encountered.
Another challenge in Afghanistan, General Byers said, is educating the nation's future engineers.
"The Iraqis are pretty well-educated: they have a strong field of medical and engineering professionals," he explained. "Afghanistan doesn't have that." So in addition to training and educating Afghans, Air Force CE units are using lower-tech solutions in construction and firefighting that will be easier for Afghan civil engineers to maintain after U.S. forces have withdrawn.
Army Gen. David Petraeus, the International Security Assistance Force commander, and Army Lt. Gen. William Caldwell, the NATO Training Mission - Afghanistan commander, want to jump-start these and other Afghan civil engineering businesses. General Byers said that civil engineering NCO's role will change, as it has in Iraq, from performing construction work to becoming quality assurance evaluators and contract technical advisers.
The Air Force civil engineer predicted bases would see a decline in military construction, or MILCON, funds as the Defense Department continues to support deployed operations.
"Efficiency's the name of the game," he said. "We need to look at enhanced use-leasing and partnerships with utilities instead of traditional means of using MILCON money." Two examples at the Air Force Academy are the solar array near the South Gate, funded by federal stimulus money through Colorado Springs Utilities, and the Holaday Athletic Center, which was paid for through donations from the USAFA Endowment.
And while the operations tempo will remain high for the foreseeable future, CE officers can expect ramifications from force-management initiatives, General Byers said. The Air Force Directorate of Personnel reduced Air Force Academy accessions into CE from more than 100 slots to 63 before raising the number back to about 85. The reduced accessions have also affected officer promotion rates.
"It took me 22½ months after my board to pin on lieutenant colonel, and this was in the mid-90s," he said. "When you have (reductions in force) and fewer accessions, then you have to slow the promotion boards down." The Air Force moved from promoting officers too slowly to promoting them too quickly and has to move back toward the middle, he added.
Enlisted Airmen, particularly senior NCOs, will also take hits, said Chief Master Sgt. Patrick Abbott, the chief of enlisted matters at the Office of the Air Force Civil Engineer.
"This year, we're 150-percent manned for senior master sergeants in the 3E4 (Air Force Specialty Codes)," Chief Abbott said. "Next year, we'll be 80-percent manned because of high-year tenure." However, the chief added that the news isn't all bad: last year, CE Airmen received more than $15 million in reenlistment bonuses.
General Byers praised the Academy's instructors for producing CE lieutenants who are motivated and prepared to lead.
"What you're producing is pretty good," he said. "The new lieutenants are very fired up and like what they're doing. What you do every day to produce leaders of character is invaluable."
Other bases included in General Byers' visit included Peterson and Schriever Air Force bases, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station in Colorado Springs and Buckley AFB in Denver.

Advani congratulates Modi on impressive Vadodara poll win
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) patriarch Lal Krishna Advani on Friday congratulated Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for his impressive win in Vadodara.
Modi, has reportedly won from Vadodara in Gujarat by a record four lakh votes over his nearest rival from the Congress, Madhusudan Mistry.
Latest results aired on television channels show the opposition National Democratic Alliance leading in 332 seats (+ 191), UPA leading in 48 seats (-171) and others leading in 142 (-28) The leads are available for 538 out of the 543 seats that are up for grabs
Counting of votes to elect representatives to the 16th Lok Sabha and four State Assemblies -- Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim -- began at 8 a.m. this morning amid tight security.
The exit polls have projected that the BJP and its allies would touch the half-way mark in the 543-member Lok Sabha. Most polls show the incumbent UPA regime getting between 101 and 148 seats.

Permanent Wave & Straightening
Q: I'm Black & Latin with really tight curls with soft, fine Latin texture. I used a permanent wave product to restructure my curls by just combing it through for a few minutes (to loosen them), this kind of worked but after a few months my curls were just too limp and lifeless. I waited six months and then tried to get my hair re-permed, but it wouldn't take.
I couldn't think of anything to do with my hair (wasn't worthy of wearing down) and my stylist suggested straightening it. We straightened it without any disaster, but daily straightening damages my hair very easily and I miss having curls. Do I really have to wait for my hair to completely grow out again (virgin) before I re-attempt the style of loose curls via permanent wave? And if so, which method/type is best for regular maintenance?
A: If you used the permanent wave product correctly and neutralized the waving lotion properly, then it should not be the cause of your hairs unresponsiveness to the re-curling attempts. I do wonder what straightening process your stylist used (given that you dont specify) and if that is the source of your presumption as to why the hair needs to be allowed to regrow to virgin status.
As long as your stylist didnt use a hydroxide-based straightening product, you should be able to use a permanent wave formula to restore the curl to your hair. The level of success (or lack of success) youve had with trying to re-perm your hair in the past may be a matter of poor condition.
I recommend giving your hair a series of deep conditioning treatments using a protein-rich conditioning cream and making sure you are following a healthy DAILY conditioning regimen. Remember, that while you only need to shampoo your hair when it becomes dirty, you should condition your hair every day.
Once youre restored your hairs level of condition to a healthy status, you should be able to get the hair re-permed to restore the curliness you want.
If, however, your stylist DID use a hydroxide straightener, you will not be able to perm your hair again until all of the hair that was treated with the hydroxide formula has been grown out and trimmed away.

EATON, Colo. (KUSA) - A bumper sticker that jokes about hunting illegal immigrants is
causing uproar after it was sold at some gas stations in Colorado.
The sticker is titled "Illegal Immigrant Hunting Permit" and says the words "No Bag Limit" and "Tagging not required."
"I just couldn't believe my eyes," a viewer of our sister station KUSA 9NEWS said. The viewer, who didn't want to be
identified, emailed 9NEWS earlier this week and said
the stickers were sold at a Cenex gas station in Eaton.
The convenience store is owned by Agfinity, Inc.
9NEWS bought one of the stickers before two employees said they made a mistake selling it.
"I don't know if we just missed one or two in there, but those were not supposed to be there," an Agfinity employee said.
Agfinity spokesperson Mark Reinert said the stickers were removed over
the weekend after customers started to complain on the company's
Facebook page.
Reinert said on Wednesday his company has no official comment on the stickers.
Central States Novelty, based in Kansas, makes and distributes the
stickers to Agfinity stores. 9NEWS was told by a woman who
answered the phone the owner was unavailable for comment.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Firefighters searching for bodies in the roughly 350 homes burned by the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history found a second body Friday at a residence where earlier another person was discovered dead.
As crews on the front lines made slow but steady progress against the flames, Police Chief Pete Carey said fewer than 10 people altogether were unaccounted for. The remains of one person were found Thursday in what was left of one home. He confirmed that the remains of a second person who lived there were found Friday.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A raging Colorado wildfire that forced tens of thousands to flee destroyed an estimated 346 homes this week, making it the most destructive fire in the state's history, officials said.
From above, the destruction becomes painfully clear: Rows and rows of houses were reduced to smoldering ashes even as some homes just feet away survived largely intact.
On one street, all but three houses had burned to their foundations, said Ryan Schneider, whose home is still standing in a neighborhood where 51 others were destroyed.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Fire crews fought to save the U.S. Air Force Academy and residents begged for information on the fate of their homes Wednesday after a night of terror sent thousands of people fleeing a raging Colorado Springs wildfire.

Religion and Political Beliefs Related Teaching Tips
- Assume that some of your students are non-Christians.
- Accommodate students' important religious holidays: allow for them in your syllabus planning and a make-up schedule.
- Critique a religion or religious belief only if such criticism is important to course material.
- When such criticism is necessary to the course, use a tone and choice of words that show respect for those who hold such beliefs or practice that religion.
- When discussing religious issues, distinguish between faith and proof.
- Assume each student has his or her specific beliefs and rituals, and cannot "speak for" an entire religion.
Adapted from: Teaching a Diverse Student Body (p. 39), by N. Loevinger, 1994, University of Virginia.
- Do not criticize political or traditional beliefs unless those beliefs are potentially hurtful to others in the class, or unless such criticism is part of the class content.
- Establish an initial "contract" with your students to show respect for others.

The aim on this project will be to sequence the genomes of M. viscosa and A. wodanis. Since A. wodanis and A. salmonicida are closely related, and both important economic fish pathogens, this will provide an excellent comparator genome. Also this will allow the identification of genes that are potentially involved in virulence, and may highlight new targets for vaccine development. However, since we aim to look at the possible interactions between M. viscosa and A. wodanis the genomes will also support the biological program that will run alongside the genome sequencing.

Cluster approach offers growth in LatAm
21 September 2012
MIAMI: Brand owners in Latin America could benefit from developing strategies that cluster audiences with similar characteristics across different countries, new research suggests.
Prior to its annual conference next week,
The Festival of Media Latin America
, organised by C Squared, has partnered with Warc to poll 100 senior agency, media owner and advertiser executives operating in the region.
In all, 17.8% of respondents agreed that brand strategies were "very" transferable between markets, while 76.7% thought this was "somewhat" the case and just 5.5% dismissed such a tactic altogether.
Equally, 90.4% of contributors believed neighbouring Spanish-speaking nations at least occasionally shared characteristics that marketers could exploit, and 9.6% stated they "always" did so.
"Sports passion abounds in almost all Latin America markets," the country manager of a research agency said. "Each country [also] has specialist celebrities that a brand can endorse."
In keeping with this viewpoint, 65.8% of the sample asserted that different demographics - such as the affluent and middle class - had more in common with peers in other parts of Latin America than with their countrymen in lower income segments.
"It could even be said that these middle classes have more common with European middles classes than other demographics within their own countries," an account executive at a media agency added.
Approximately 81% of respondents named Brazil as the region's most innovative market for media and marketing, well ahead of Argentina on 53.4% and Colombia on 45.2%.
The Brazilian footwear brand, Havaianas, was also cited as the Latin American brand with the most potential for overseas expansion because of its sound financial backing, respected marketing strategy, cross cultural appeal and innovative products. A case study discussing its flip-flop range is available
Havaianas emerged as the favourite regional candidate for growth ahead of
Grupo Bimbo
, the Mexican bakery goods group, and Natura, the eco-friendly cosmetics manufacturer also from Brazil, and a company discussed in more detail
However, foreign groups were seen as the most innovative operators in Latin America today. Coca-Cola, the soft drinks group, was perceived to be the most innovative corporation followed by Unilever, the FMCG manufacturer, and Nike, the sportswear specialist.
These three were all cited ahead of indigenous companies such as Havaianas, the brewers Corona and Quilmes, and Petrobas, the energy group.
Asked to nominate industry sectors with the most potential for growth in terms of both sales and media investment in the region, some 68.5% of respondents chose the technology sector. Retail was a distant second on 37%, followed by cosmetics on 31.5%.
The survey also asked about the biggest barriers to the growth of brands in Latin America. Economic and political instability was cited by 65.8% of respondents, followed by social inequality on 31.5% and regulatory constraints on 30.1%.
Warc will be attending the Festival of Media Latin America, which runs from September 23-25, with reports from the event appearing on the warc.com subscription service soon afterwards.

Racquet Zone shuttlers advance to finals-A A +A
Saturday, August 30, 2014
IN-HOUSE club members of Racquet Zone Badminton Courts marched to the final round after winning their matches in the 1st Sun Cellular-Ming Ramos National Juniors Badminton Tournament yesterday.
Lyrden Laborte and Neil John Navarette will battle for the Boys Singles Under 13 title after beating their respective opponents from the first round until the quarterfinal round yesterday.
Laborte, who enjoyed a bye on the first round, blanked Ylcherd Raell Ramos of Smashers, 21-0, 21-0, in the second round then scored a walkover win over against Kenneth Ernest Delfin of Taytung High School-Bacolod in the quarterfinal round.

Quality Management
Quality that pays off
The Emsland Group of companies has maintained a very successful Quality Management system for many years across the Group. By expanding the system with the fields of Environment, Safety at Work and Energy, an Integrated Management system – IMS – has been created which has also been implemented across the Group.
The field of Quality management is based on international norms and recognized standards, such as
- GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) recognised Certifications:
FSSC 22000 - Food Safety Certification System 22000
IFS - International Featured Standards
BRC – Global Food Standard
- AIB International Consolidated Standards for Prerequisite and Food Safety Programs
- RSPO-Certificate - Roundtable on Sustainable Palmoil
- On the guidelines of the animal field sector of the standards organization, QS (Certificates), in Germany and
- Product certification pursuant to Kosher and Halal
- Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS 4.0)
All management elements aim to provide the best possible solutions and service to satisfy our customers' wishes.
One essential element of Quality Management is the control and monitoring of all relevant process steps. This comprises the entire process from the receipt and acceptance of all raw and auxiliary materials through to process checks and the final products as well as detailed HACCP processes.
Regular audits (internal and external) as well as works inspections with specific prevention and corrective measures contribute to continuous improvement of all processes.
It is only by means of the outstanding commitment of all staff in the Emsland Group, who are regularly trained in all essential aspects of the processes involved, that the production and supply of top-quality and safe products is possible.

Ford Focus Zetec
One of the best all rounders available at any price. A used Ford Mondeo is reliable and functional for whatever you need. The Ford Mondeo maintains a truly memorable look due to its popularity on the roads. Its external design is both practical and smart in appearance, while its interior provides a comfy ride and clearly laid out easy to read instrumentation. With leg room that beats the majority of its rivals, and boot space that is easily accessible and allows for pretty much any everyday task you can think off, the Mondeo struggles to provide reasons not to buy one. For those requiring high performance, the Mondeo's steering is direct and responsive. Its suspension also provides enough compression to handle any bumps, whilst still maintaining the sufficient firmness required to handle the tightest corners. Of the petrol and diesel engines available, the diesel makes up the overwhelming number of sales due to their well recognized balance of economy and raw power. However many of the newer petrol engines offer a clever 1.6 and 2 litre Ecoboost helping them to replicate the virtues of the diesel engine, but with even more power. In conjunction with its low running costs, the Mondeo is also known as a great car to purchase used, losing on average 40 percent of its value in the first three years after being bought new. The Car People stock a range of used Ford Mondeo cars at affordable prices. Choose the perfect one for you or browse our other used cars for further choice.
