Syria to Shift to Multi-party System: ZAMAN DAILY NEWSPAPER

ZAMAN DAILY NEWSPAPER (2005071921873): "Syria to Shift to Multi-party System
By Salih Boztas


Syrian Foreign Minister Faruk al-Shara told Zaman, 'Turkey has been confined to Anatolia, yet the Middle East needs its leadership.'

Syria, ruled by the Baath Party for a long time is preparing to adapt to a multi-party system. Al-Shara noting the region was in a democratization phase said his country would hold democratic elections in the near future. 'The Baath party has taken important decisions. Most important among these are the formation of free political parties, carrying out democratic elections of and promoting a vote cast. We will shift to the multi-party system through a new law. The process continues. We will not return from the path of democracy.' Al-Shara who has been directing Syrian foreign policy for more than 15 years said the bill to establish a democratic system would first be presented to the public for consideration. The Syrian minister said the new law was expected to be brought into effect within six months.

The abolition of a state of emergency and the implementation of the freedom of the press are the other two important steps al-Shara announced. He said, they could not characterize themselves as a democratic state, but: 'There is no ideal democracy in the world. The urge of a decisive resolution to become a democracy is present in Syria.

The Syrian Foreign Minister also pointed to Turkey's growing strategic importance. According to al-Shara, the region needs Turkey's leadership and Ankara should mediate in the Middle East Peace Process. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had been accorded full authority during his visit to Syria, he related. The centuries-old relation between the two countries was at the moment at its prime and was being strengthened by reciprocal visits, he observed.

Syria is making efforts towards giving freedom of the press. The Beshar Asad administration which had allowed the broadcast of the first private radio channel was also considering the first private TV channel as well. Al-Shara summarized the changes that will be held. 'We strive to give freedom to the press. Private newspapers and radios will be able to continue their broadcast under the context of technology and international transparency.'"

Could Narcolepsy be caused by gluten? :: Kitchen Table Hypothesis

Kitchen Table Hypothesis from www.zombieinstitute.net - Heidi's new site It's commonly known that a severe allergy to peanuts can cause death within minutes. What if there were an allergy that were delayed for hours and caused people to fall asleep instead? That is what I believe is happening in people with Narcolepsy. Celiac disease is an allergy to gliadin, a specific gluten protein found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye. In celiac disease the IgA antigliadin antibody is produced after ingestion of gluten. It attacks the gluten, but also mistakenly binds to and creates an immune reaction in the cells of the small intestine causing severe damage. There is another form of gluten intolerance, Dermatitis Herpetiformis, in which the IgA antigliadin bind to proteins in the skin, causing blisters, itching and pain. This can occur without any signs of intestinal damage. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity is a similar autoimmune reaction to gliadin, however it usually involves the...

Insulin Resistance- cause of ADD, diabetes, narcolepsy, etc etc

Insulin Resistance Insulin Resistance Have you been diagnosed with clinical depression? Heart disease? Type II, or adult, diabetes? Narcolepsy? Are you, or do you think you might be, an alcoholic? Do you gain weight around your middle in spite of faithfully dieting? Are you unable to lose weight? Does your child have ADHD? If you have any one of these symptoms, I wrote this article for you. Believe it or not, the same thing can cause all of the above symptoms. I am not a medical professional. I am not a nutritionist. The conclusions I have drawn from my own experience and observations are not rocket science. A diagnosis of clinical depression is as ordinary as the common cold today. Prescriptions for Prozac, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, etc., are written every day. Genuine clinical depression is a very serious condition caused by serotonin levels in the brain. I am not certain, however, that every diagnosis of depression is the real thing. My guess is that about 10 percent of the people taking ...

Zombie Infection Simulation Wow! This also is cool and hard to describe. Watch the zombie infection progress, and especially watch how the waves of panic spread out. Very and fun interesting simulation. Here are the instructions: "Zombies are grey, move very slowly and change direction randomly and frequently unless they can see something moving in front of them, in which case they start walking towards it. After a while they get bored and wander randomly again. If a zombie finds a human directly in front of it, it infects them; the human immediately becomes a zombie. Humans are pink and run five times as fast as zombies, occasionally changing direction at random. If they see a zombie directly in front of them, they turn around and panic. Panicked humans are bright pink and run twice as fast as other humans. If a human sees another panicked human, it starts panicking as well."
