  Cabinet of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In recent years, non-members of Parliament have been permitted by the Prime Minister to attend Cabinet meetings on a regular basis, notably Alastair Campbell in his capacity as Director of Communications and Strategy between 1997 and 2003.
This suggestion has been made by former ministers such as Clare Short and Chris Smith, in the media, and was made clear in the Butler Review, where Blair's style of "sofa government" was censured.
Such an accusation has been made at Tony Blair (the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom) as he is believed to refrain from using the Cabinet as a collective decision making body.

 Your Flight Has Been Cancelled....
Purposes of these flights were to be: geophysical and astronomical research; photography of the solar corona; solar x-ray imagery; medical-biological research; detailed study of the effects of weightlessness on the human organism; dosimetry; and engineering tests of ion flow sensors to be used for orientation of later Soyuz spacecraft.
Popovich was to have been accompanied by female cosmonaut Ponomaryova in what would have been the first mixed crew crew flight to the moon in 1965.
The flight would have been devoted to demonstrating pilot control of the spacecraft and evaluation of the systems (this was to hve followed two unmanned flight tests).

 The Rudraveena - Indian classical music instrument   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The been or veena has always been the instrument of Indian classical music and more precisely dhrupad, and was traditionally studied by all dhrupad students until the XIXth century.
It has been developed to follow the precision of Indian classical mucic, and the quality of the long and slow moving (vocal type) glissandos that are so typical of dhrupad.
The been is made of a body, a hollow tube made of teak wood, on which the strings are fixed at both ends.

 Evidence Mounts That The Vote May Have Been Hacked
One possible explanation for this is the "Dixiecrat" theory, that in Florida white voters (particularly the rural ones) have been registered as Democrats for years, but voting Republican since Reagan.
One of the people involved in Dopp's analysis noted that it may be possible to determine the validity of the "rural Democrat" theory by comparing Florida's white rural counties to those of Pennsylvania, another swing state but one that went for Kerry, as the exit polls there predicted.
While all of this may or may not be evidence of vote tampering, it again brings the nation back to the question of why several states using electronic voting machines or scanners programmed by private, for-profit corporations and often connected to modems produced votes inconsistent with exit poll numbers.

Been, however, wrote a letter to Burnett following his stint on Pulau Tiga, condemning Burnett's involvement in the show.

 We've Been Neo-Conned by Rep. Ron Paul
That remnant – imperfect as it may have been – was heard from in the elections of 1980 and 1994 and then achieved major victories in 2000 and 2002 when professed limited-government proponents took over the administration, the Senate and the House.
They have been amazingly successful in their efforts to control the debate over what Western values are and by what methods they will be spread throughout the world.
The breakup of the Soviet system may well have been an epic event but to say that the views of the neocons are the unchallenged victors and that all we need do is wait for their implementation is a capitulation to controlling the forces of history that many Americans are not yet ready to concede.

 BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Columbia 'could have been rescued'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Had the damage to the Columbia space shuttle been spotted before re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, a rescue attempt to save the crew could have been made, according to the final report on the orbiter's fatal break-up.
Atlantis, which was due to be launched in March, could have been ready for a lift-off between 10-15 February, the report states, and weather records for that period show that the conditions for the attempt were satisfactory.
As for Columbia itself, it could have either been brought down out of orbit, to land somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, or placed in a higher orbit and left until a repair mission could be sent up at a later date.

 Has the New Covenant Been Made?
For decades, we have correctly recognized that the old covenant has ended, and we are to live under the terms of the new covenant.
Some of the new covenant promises have not yet been fulfilled, but we have been given a down payment as a guarantee that all the promises will be fulfilled.
The covenant requires faith precisely because the promises are not yet fulfilled, but the promises have been given and the covenant has been made.

 Could Columbia have been Imaged by a Keyhole?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
One journalist sought confirmation of decades-old reports of Columbia having been imaged by a KH-11 on the inaugural shuttle mission, STS 1.
Such manoeuvres would have been sufficiently large to have invalidated any encounter calculations based on the pre-manoeuvre orbits, so I was not sufficiently confident in their orbits to include USA 116 and USA 161 in my analysis.
Moreover, its rate of decay had been fairly constant during the interim, which provided a confident basis to analyse the possibility of close encounters with STS 107.

Trevor Phillips has recently been appointed the head honcho at the CRE, and one of his first acts is to announce a volte-face on policy.
It is to deflect attention from the fact that the glorious leader has not been able to climb out of the media merde over immigration and he senses the public milling around and muttering darkly.
Oh, it had been a long flight, the airline had lost my luggage and as the little burqua-clad incident didn't understand English (which is why, of course, she wished to emigrate to England) I turned on the freelance multiculti pleader.

 SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Would men have been born in a state of righteousness?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Some say that children would have been born, not with the righteousness of grace, which is the principle of merit, but with original righteousness.
This grace, however, would not have been natural, for it would not have been transfused by virtue of the semen; but would have been conferred on man immediately on his receiving a rational soul.
In the same way the rational soul, which is not transmitted by the parent, is infused by God as soon as the human body is apt to receive it.

 SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Should Christ's birth have been made known to some?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
But, when Christ's birth was made known, disturbance arose: for it is written (Matthew 2:3) that "King Herod, hearing" of Christ's birth, "was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him." Moreover, this brought harm to others; because it was the occasion of Herod's killing "all the male children that were in Bethlehem.
As it would have been prejudicial to the salvation of mankind if God's birth had been made known to all men, so also would it have been if none had been informed of it.
Because in either case faith is destroyed, whether a thing be perfectly manifest, or whether it be entirely unknown, so that no one can hear it from another; for "faith cometh by hearing" (Romans 10:17).

Key assertions by the intelligence community that were widely judged in the media and by critics of President George W. Bush as having been false are turning out to have been true after all.
In all these cases, "Iraqi scientists had been told before the war not to declare their activities to the U.N. inspectors," the official said.
Plants inspected in the early 1990s as CW production facilities had been set up to appear as if they were producing pesticides - or in the case of a giant plant near Fallujah, chlorine, which is used to produce mustard gas.

 Dawn has been reinstated! - The Planetary Society Blog | The Planetary Society
Geveden began by saying that the xenon tank "qualification matter is now settled" and that "there is a way forward on...spacecraft structural concerns." Furthermore, the cost estimates are "improved" in that there is "reduced uncertainty" in the budget.
Overall, during the conference, Geveden's tone indicated that while the review had been quite necessary, NASA is now confident in the Dawn mission's ability to move forward and launch in 2007.
The mission, named because it was designed to study objects dating from the dawn of the solar system, would travel to Vesta and Ceres, two of the largest asteroids orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter.

 frontline: the triumph of evil: 100 days of slaughter
The Security Council resolution says, "acts of genocide may have been committed." However, the deployment of the mainly African U.N. forces is delayed because of arguments over who will pay the bill and provide the equipment.
The United States has been a driving force in the provision of humanitarian assistance, in condemning the violence and in trying to organize a U.N. mission designed not simply to promise, but to deliver what it promises.
I have phraseology which has been carefully examined and arrived at as best as we can apply to exactly the situation and the actions which have taken place...

 spacetoday.net: Columbia rescue would have been difficult but feasible: investigators
Florida Today first reported Wednesday that an internal NASA study, performed at the request of the CAIB, showed that it would have been possible to launch Atlantis — which was being prepared for a March 1 launch — on a rescue mission as early as February 9 or 10.
Gehman said it may have also been possible to repair the damage to Columbia by stuffing a bag of water in the hole in the wing, then covering it with teflon tape.
Even though either option could have been too risky to carry out, their existence contradicts earlier claims by NASA officials that there was nothing they could have done to save the crew.

 Perl 5.8.1 Has Been Released -
Especially troublesome has been the feature that before a "=>" a version string (a "v" followed by digits) has been interpreted as a v-string instead of a string literal.
If a filehandle has been marked as to have an encoding, unmappable characters are detected already during input, not later (when the corrupted data is being used).
Many of the rarer platforms that worked 100% or pretty close to it with perl 5.8.0 have been left a little bit untended since their maintainers have been otherwise busy lately, and therefore there will be more failures on those platforms.

 SPACE.com -- Could Crew have been Rescued? Options were Limited
With shuttle Atlantis ready to be moved to its pad, it theoretically could have been rushed into service, and Columbia's astronauts could have climbed aboard in a series of spacewalks.
Moreover, a spacewalk to reach the underside of the wings could have been suicidal, because there is nothing to hold on to, and the astronauts did not have mini-jetpacks to propel themselves.
If it was determined that there was no way Columbia and crew could survive an re-entry, and another spacecraft could not reach them in time, they would have been stuck in orbit for a couple of months before being dragged down through the atmosphere in a fireball.

The history of the Christian church reads like a litany of horror and cruelty that has been perpetrated, with the blessings of the church, upon the peoples of the world.
If they had been peace churches then, the bloody armed revolutions of liberation that happened a century later would not have occurred.
Or, if you are one of many people who have been turned off by the actions of mainline Christian congregations, then seek out others like your self and begin your own ECAPC small group.

 SPACE.com -- The Problem with Gravity: New Mission Would Probe Strange Puzzle
Scientists are quick to suggest the Pioneer anomaly, as they call it, is probably caused by the space probes themselves, perhaps emitting heat or gas.
He is not paid to work specifically on the problem, so he has to juggle the disturbing thought with his regular research, which involves other aspects of gravity and, significantly, whether theories that explain the glue of the whole universe might one day match neatly with those describing the invisible, subatomic world.
But neither has been far enough from the Sun -- the dominant source of gravity in the solar system -- to firmly distinguish any possible discrepancy from noise in the data, Turyshev says.

After his rendition of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" on the infamous Golden Throats album (though it first appeared on the Transformed Man LP), one could argue that the world needed a new William Shatner album about as much as it needed a big-screen remake of TJ Hooker.
Produced and arranged by Ben Folds and featuring numerous notable guest appearances, Has Been is the result of the collision of two great creative forces — a surprisingly pop-driven, lyrically potent collection of songs to enlighten and entertain.
It was certainly worth the risk: without question "Has Been" is far better than anything currently in the Top 40 and is funny and charming to boot.
