For a site whose historical importance ranks with Egypt's Pyramids, the ancient Mesopotamian city of Babylon has suffered some rough treatment. In recent times, U.S. troops and allied armies have parked tanks and weapons on the site in southern Iraq and used earth containing ancient fragments to fill their sandbags. Looters ransacked its treasures, and before that Saddam Hussein "restored" parts of it using new bricks bearing his name and built a kitsch palace overlooking it. Now officials hope Babylon can be revived and made ready for a rich future of tourism, with help from experts at the World Monuments Fund (WMF) and the U.S. embassy. "The Future of Babylon" project launched last month seeks to "map the current conditions of Babylon and develop a master plan for its conservation, study and tourism," the WMF says. "We don't know how long it will take to reopen to tourists," said Mariam Omran Musa, head of a government inspection team based at the site. "It depends on funds. I hope that Babylon can be reborn in a better image."

Archbishop Gianfranco Ravasi, head of the Pontifical Council for Culture, said while the Church had been hostile to Darwin's theory in the past, the idea of evolution could be traced to St Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas. Father Giuseppe Tanzella-Nitti, Professor of Theology at the Pontifical Santa Croce University in Rome, added that 4th century theologian St Augustine had "never heard the term evolution, but knew that big fish eat smaller fish" and forms of life had been transformed "slowly over time". Aquinas made similar observations in the Middle Ages.
Must One Believe in the Holocaust To Be a Good Catholic?
Antifascist news sources from the New York Times to the Süddeutsche Zeitung to the Associated Press have been acting in unison of late decrying the Nazi occupation of the Vatican. From these frantic accounts, it seems that Pope Benedict XVI has lifted the excommunication that his predecessor had placed on bishops whom maverick Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre had consecrated, in violation of papal orders. Among those from whom the ban had been lifted is an English cleric Richard Williamson, who had been a follower of the traditionalist churchman Lefebvre.
Hollywood Insiders: fallen angels
Hollywood Insiders fallen Angels takes a look at Illuminist and masonic threads in seemingly unconnected movies and binds them into a single story; the story of the fallen angels. Fallen Angels reveals the true magnitude of the Illuminati's infiltration of Hollywood by exposing their favorite tale heard a thousand-times over.
By Rebecca Spence, The Forward
With "The Reader" garnering five Oscar nominations, and just as many Holocaust-related films playing this winter, Hollywood?s long-simmering romance with one of the greatest tragedies in human history is reaching a fever pitch. Even a former official of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has a certain fatigue."I find myself wanting to take my wife out to a non-Holocaust film, and everything is touching on the Holocaust," said Michael Berenbaum, who now teaches in Los Angeles at the American Jewish University.

Fire in the Skyby Jeff Medkeff & Martin Rundkvist According to A Sumerian Observation of the Köfels Impact Event, an asteroid entered the Earth’s atmosphere in 3123 BC and exploded above the Austrian Alps, triggering a major landslide. The authors also argue that during the final minutes of the object’s approach, it was observed by an astronomer in Mesopotamia who made detailed notes of the event, and by Neolithic people in coastal Croatia, who were inspired to depict it on their pottery.

A complete DNA read-out for every newborn will be technically feasible and affordable in less than five years, promising a revolution in healthcare, says Jay Flatley, the chief executive of Illumina. Only social and legal issues are likely to delay the era of “genome sequences”, or genetic profiles, for all. By 2019 it will have become routine to map infants' genes when they are born, Dr Flatley told The Times... The prospect of genome screening for all has emerged because of the plummeting cost of the relevant technology. The Human Genome Project, which published its first rough sequence of mankind's genetic code in 2001, cost an estimated $4billion (£2.7billion). By the time the scientists James Watson and Craig Venter had their genomes mapped two years ago, the cost had fallen to about $1m (£700,000). Genotyping services, which examine about 2million of the genome's 6billion DNA letters for clues to disease, are already available to consumers for about $1,000 (£700). Those with deeper pockets can have their whole genome mapped for about $100,000 (£70,000). Illumina is preparing to launch a much cheaper whole-genome service within two years.

The following tsunami warning was issued: "No destructive widespread tsunami threat exists based on historical earthquake and tsunami data. However, earthquakes of this size sometimes generate local tsunamis that can be destructive along coasts located within a hundred kilometers of the earthquake epicenter. Authorities in the region of the epicenter should be aware of this possibility and take appropriate action."  Earthquake geographic coordinates: 3.873N, 126.408E. Magnitude: 7.4 Mw. Depth: 35 km. Universal Time (UTC): 11 Feb 2009 17:34:52. Time near the Epicenter: 12 Feb 2009 01:34:52. Local standard time in your area: 11 Feb 2009 17:34:52. Location with respect to nearby cities: 284 km (176 miles) SSE (151 degrees) of General Santos, Mindanao, Philippines.

This has always been the achilles heel of the global warming army. As we know, it all started with James Hansen and his 1988 US Senate report on climate change. It was at this very moment the infamous and made up name of 'global warming' was born. That's right, he simply made up the name pulling it right out of his a-- uhh, back pocket.  This just released finding is the latest among many which proves Hansen and his computer models were nothing more than GIGO. No one sitting on the 1988 Senate hearing panel knew squat about climate change. That's right, not even the global warming Commanding Officer Al Gore. Perhaps a good analogy of what happened in 1988 can be best illustrated in the current debacle happening today. As you might have noticed, not one single Senator or Congressman has a clue as to the cause and source of the financial meltdown. Why? -- Because it was designed that way -- What we are seeing today in Wall Street was played out in 1988, but instead of Bernard Madoff and his $50 Billion Ponzi Scheme, or Bush's Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson stealing $700 Billion from US citizens to pay off his Wall Street cronies --- Hansen and his new protege Al Gore, set out to scam the American public out of yet more Billions to support "a lie" called global warming based on GIGO computer models. And some still wonder how the Roman Empire imploded ---- Latest Discovery Provides Truth of Global Warming GIGO Astronomers have made an unexpected find using a polarimeter (an instrument used to measure the wave properties of light) funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), that has the potential to affect future climate models.  University of Hertfordshire astronomers were making observations of the stars in search of new planets after mounting the 'PlanetPol' (polarimeter they designed and constructed to take extremely sensitive readings) on the William Herschel Telescope (part of the Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes) in La Palma in the Canary Islands, when their measurements became affected by a layer of dust. Electric fields have been discovered to form dust particles in vertical alignment. This phenomenon is likely to affect the transport of dust over long distances. For the first time this might explain why large Saharan dust grains can travel as far as the UK instead of falling to the ground long before. This could impact on climate theories because atmospheric dust is a significant source of uncertainty for scientists trying to model the climate. 'If it's proven the dust is affected by electric fields, elements of current climate models may have to be re-worked with this new information, to remain accurate', explains Joseph Ulanowski, Center for Atmospheric and Instrumentation Research (CAIR) at the University of Hertfordshire.

PHILIPPINES - A large 7.4 earthquake has hit between Indonesia and Philippines. No current reports of damage or casualties have been reported. Elite members of the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Switzerland, recently considered a proposal for a new global television network to usher in a state of “global governance.” The concept strikes some as authoritarian, even totalitarian. But the parent company of Fox News was one of the sponsors of this year's gathering. The media proposal, which was included in “The Global Agenda 2009” report, is to create “a new global network” with “the capacity to connect the world, bridging cultures and peoples, and telling us who we are and what we mean to each other.” Several prominent U.S. media figures signed on to the alarming and controversial proposal. Isn’t it nice that we might have a TV network telling us “who we are?” And “what we mean to each other?” Perhaps we will learn that we are global citizens. Perhaps a global leader of some sort will tell us that. Who might that be? This proposal doesn’t come from a fringe organization. The WEF is an exclusive club of very rich and powerful people from around the world. It describes itself as “an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas.” This year’s conference featured speeches by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Chinese Premier We Jiabao. Many U.S. corporations, including some getting Wall Street bailout money, were sponsors. News Corporation, the parent of Fox News, was a “strategic partner” of the event.
Surprise and even shock were among the reactions to my recent column about how elite members of the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos , Switzerland , were considering a proposal for a new global television network to usher in a state of “global governance.” It sounded authoritarian, even totalitarian, to some. Here are more of the troubling details. The media proposal, which was included in “The Global Agenda 2009” report, is to create “a new global network” with “the capacity to connect the world, bridging cultures and peoples, and telling us who we are and what we mean to each other.” Several prominent U.S. media figures signed on to the alarming and controversial proposal. Isn’t it nice that we might have a TV network telling us “who we are?” And “what we mean to each other?” Perhaps we will learn that we are global citizens. Perhaps a global leader of some sort will tell us that. Who might that be? This outlandish and frightening proposal doesn’t come from a fringe organization. The WEF is an exclusive club of very rich and powerful people from around the world. It describes itself as “an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas.”
