    WORKS OF ARMINIUS - OUR OPINION IS OPPOSED TO THE PELAGIAN HERESY PREVIOUS SECTION - NEXT SECTION - HELP II. OUR OPINION IS DIRECTLY OPPOSED TO THE PELAGIAN HERESY 1. THE Second thing contained in this third part is an affirmation, that our interpretation of Romans 7 is professedly adverse to the Pelagian heresy. 2. This is proved from the fact, that the principal dogma of that heresy is professedly confuted through this very interpretation. 3. In some passages of his works, which are here cited, St. Augustine confesses with sufficient plainness that this is true. 4.Objection and an Answer...

    WASHINGTON — Want milk? The government is trying to figure out what to do with $1 billion worth of nonfat-milk powder that it bought in the past three years to prop up the prices paid to dairy farmers. That is the equivalent of about 1.3 billion gallons of skim milk, enough to supply the nation's consumption for 16 months. It would take 635,000 cows a year to make all that milk. The bags of powder are kept in a series of privately owned, manmade caves near Kansas City, Mo., and other warehouses around the country. An additional 20 million to...
  • Milan cell linked to al-Qaida operatives

    Chicago Tribune via Seattle Times ^ | June 30, 2002 | John Crewdson and Tom Hundley
    MILAN, Italy — Italian anti-terrorism investigators, poring over hundreds of hours of surreptitiously recorded conversations among members of Europe's most important al-Qaida outpost, say they are convinced a cell in Milan supplied false passports and other bogus documents to al-Qaida operatives who may have succeeded in entering the United States. The absence of any apparent contact between the Milan al-Qaida operation and the Sept. 11 hijackers, who spawned their deadly plot in Hamburg, Germany, could mean that other potential al-Qaida terrorists managed to take up residence in the United States before Sept. 11 and may still be there awaiting a...

    The Lebanon-based Hezbollah organization, one of the world's most formidable terrorist groups, is increasingly teaming up with al-Qaida on logistics and training for terrorist operations, according to U.S. and European intelligence officials and terrorism experts. The new cooperation, which involves mid- and low-level operatives, mutes years of rivalry between Hezbollah, which draws its support primarily from Shiite Muslims, and al-Qaida, which is predominantly Sunni. It includes coordination on explosives and tactics training, money laundering, weapons smuggling and acquiring forged documents, sources said. < SNIP > But a recent criminal-court case in Charlotte, N.C. — in which eight defendants pleaded guilty...

    Senior officials in British Prime Minister Tony Blair's office have launched an astonishing attack on America's handling of the hunt for Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda fugitives. But Downing Street late Saturday played down reports that Number 10 officials have attacked the United States' anti-terror campaign in Afghanistan. Blair's senior aides accused US troops of "blundering" about during house-to-house searches for Islamic fighters, according to the SUNDAY TELEGRAPH. MORE "The Americans think they and the Pakistanis can just march in shooting," one told the paper. Americans did not understand the "sensitivities" involved in such tribal areas, where Britain has experience...

"I want to focus on my salad," she said. "I will be exonerated from all this ridiculousness."Blondenfreude is in the air. (Blondenfreude, a term I did not coin, is the wish to see fair-haired uber-females get their comeuppance). Talk-show hosts are cracking jokes about how to decorate a jail cell.But Martha's merely a handy poster girl for market manipulation. All she did was tell a teeny-weeny lie and get caught out....
