Rare earthquake shakes southwest Florida
By Martin Merzer and Aldo Nahed,McClatchy Newspapers

MIAMI — No hurricanes. No tornadoes. No sweeping wildfires. It was a pretty nice weekend in Florida. Except, you know, for the 6.0 magnitude earthquake.A rare and unusually strong quake in the Gulf of Mexico rocked southwest Florida on Sunday, provoking worried calls from more than 3,000 people in the state and elsewhere in the Southeast.No damage or injuries were reported, though many Floridians experienced dishes that rattled all by themselves, swimming pools that suddenly developed waves, and terra firma that wasn't quite as firm as they thought.

It's always something,said Mike Stone, a spokesman for the state's Division of Emergency Management.The quake, thought to be the strongest in the area in 30 years, struck at 10:56 a.m. and was centered 397 miles from Miami.

Experts said it was too small to generate a tsunami, though the U.S Coast Guard issued a mariner's warning, advising boaters to exercise caution in the area.In the Miami area, the event passed virtually unnoticed, though Mary Scottoline, 82, who lives along the Venetian Causeway between Miami and Miami Beach, said she felt her bedroom tremble around 11 a.m. A former resident of San Francisco, she said she knows about these things.My bed shook and probably the whole room,Scottoline said.

It shook once and then it shook again.Guy Urban, an expert at the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska, said an earthquake was reported in the same part of the Gulf in February, and the causes are not clearly understood.

Quakes often occur in subduction zones,places where two tectonic plates meet, forcing one to slide under the other. Sunday's quake occurred at a depth of about 6.2 miles.As far as a fault area, there are no major subduction zones in that region of the Gulf, he said. It's a rare place historically for an earthquake.Experts at the U.S. Geological Survey described it as an uncommon midplate quake, meaning that it occurred far from a place where two plates meet. In a preliminary report, they said it probably resulted from the release of long-term tectonic stresses that ultimately originate from forces applied at the plate boundary.In any event, it made quite an impression along Florida's Gulf Coast.Mary Ruiz, 67, of Holmes Beach, was leaving a supermarket when she felt an extraordinary change in motion.

She feared it was caused by an explosion, and was relieved to learn it was
produced by a natural event, especially at this particular time.

Said Ruiz: Got the 9/11 jitters, I think.Ronnie Mason, a Coast Guard petty officer in St. Petersburg, said he saw computer monitors in the command center shake for 10 to 15 seconds.He received numerous calls from boaters and from residents more than 80 miles inland.The earthquake likely did not have any effect on oil operations in the Gulf of Mexico, according to Ray Connolly, a spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute, the trade association for the U.S. oil and natural-gas industry.Only one of Florida's rare earthquakes caused significant damage. In January 1879, St. Augustine residents reported heavy shaking that knocked plaster off the walls.Additional information from The Associated Press,© 2006 The Seattle Times Company

Moderate quake shakes western China Mon Sep 11, 11:17 PM ET

BEIJING A magnitude-5.4 earthquake shook northwestern China early Tuesday, but there were no deaths or damage in the remote, thinly populated area, the government said.

The quake struck the western territory of Xinjiang at about 2 a.m., said an
official of the Xinjiang Seismological Bureau. He would give only his surname, Dai.Xinjiang regularly suffers earthquakes, but injuries and damage are usually limited in the sparsely populated area.A magnitude-6.8 quake that struck the region in February 2003 killed 268 people.

Bermuda dodges Florence with no injuries By ELIZABETH ROBERTS, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 5 minutes ago

HAMILTON, Bermuda Thousands of Bermudians were still without power Tuesday in the wake of Hurricane Florence, which knocked down utility poles and damaged roofs but caused far less damage than feared.

The storm, which caused no major injuries, damaged about 10 homes and garages in the wealthy British island territory before it headed north over the open Atlantic Ocean, said Deputy Governor Nick Carter. A few people were hurt by broken glass but none required hospitalization, he said.It's too early to estimate insured losses on the storm but I would guess it's pretty light, Carter said. The major issue was the downing of the power cables.

At one point during the storm, the power was out to more than half the small island chain, which has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world and enforces strict building codes to ensure that homes can withstand intense weather.The government, which discontinued its tropical storm warning late Monday, planned to reopen the territory's airport Tuesday and to resume bus and ferry service.Strong winds, rains and white-capped waves started hammering the island Sunday, when Bermuda, home to about 60,000, began to feel the effects of Florence, the second hurricane of the Atlantic season.

The storm also generated waves up to 17 feet off the off parts of the eastern U.S. coast, about 640 miles west of Bermuda, said Hugh Cobb, a meteorologist with the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.

After Florence moved away from Bermuda Monday night, it headed toward Atlantic shipping lanes and was expected to weaken further as it passes over cooler waters. If Florence stays on its forecast track, it would pass just southeast of Newfoundland in the next day or so, the hurricane center said.At 11 a.m. EDT, Florence had top sustained winds of 75 mph and was centered about 715 miles southwest of Cape Race, Newfoundland, the hurricane center said. The hurricane was moving northeast at 23 mph.Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Gordon formed in the Atlantic northeast of the Leeward Islands and was expected to head in the general direction of Bermuda, forecasters said. The seventh named storm of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season, Gordon was much smaller in size than Florence and was expected to remain over open water away from Bermuda, forecasters said.

At this point it looks like it will recurve out into the Atlantic, said Jamie Rhome, a hurricane specialist at the center in Miami. However, people should be reminded that we are at the peak of hurricane season and they should be updated on hurricane supplies and have a hurricane plan.Gordon had top sustained winds of about 60 mph. It could become a hurricane, with sustained winds of 74 mph or stronger, as early as Wednesday, the hurricane center said.At 11 a.m. EDT, Gordon was centered about 490 miles north-northeast of the Leeward Islands and moving northwest near 9 mph, forecasters said. A gradual turn to the north was expected.The eighth tropical depression of the Atlantic season also developed Tuesday from showers and thunderstorms that moved off the coast of West Africa. The depression had 30 mph sustained winds and was centered 185 miles south-southeast of the southernmost Cape Verde islands.

The depression was moving toward the west near 18 mph, and it could become a named tropical storm Tuesday or Wednesday, the hurricane center said. Helene is the next name on the list.The Atlantic hurricane season began June 1 and ends Nov. 30.

Palestinian government receives OK
Prime minister to create a coalition comprising Fatah, Hamas, others
By John Murphy,BALTIMORE SUN,Posted on Tue, Sep. 12, 2006

JERUSALEM - Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh agreed Monday to form a new Palestinian unity government, a move Palestinians hope will bring an end to the economic boycott and political isolation of the current Hamas-led government.Under the agreement, the Hamas-led Cabinet will be dissolved within 48 hours, Palestinian officials said, clearing the way for Haniyeh, as prime minister, to create a coalition government composed of Fatah, Hamas and other political factions.The apparent breakthrough comes after months of negotiations between Abbas' secular Fatah movement and Haniyeh's militant Islamic group, Hamas, who have been bitterly divided over how to solve the Palestinian crisis triggered by Hamas'rise to power earlier this year.

And it suggests that the Hamas government initially defiant toward Western donors may have finally succumbed to international and domestic pressure.Details of the deal reached between the two sides remained unclear Monday night. Palestinian officials said that negotiations were continuing over which political representatives will have a seat in the new government.We have finalized the elements of the political agenda of the national unity government. Hopefully, in the coming few days we will begin forming the government of national unity,Abbas said, speaking on Palestine TV with Haniyeh beside him.Palestinians hope the new government will lead to the easing of the tight international economic blockade that has left the Palestinian Authority broke and the economy in tatters.

I bring good news to the Palestinian people, and I feel proud and content that at this important moment we establish a national coalition government,Haniyeh said.Six months ago, the United States and European Union which regard Hamas as a terrorist organization cut off aid to the new Hamas-led government, further damaging the already weak Palestinian economy.The Palestinian government's 165,000 employees including teachers, doctors, police and civil servants have not been paid, creating widespread hardship in the West Bank and Gaza.Earlier this month, thousands of them went on strike, leaving hospitals and clinics understaffed and preventing many schools from opening.The United Nations, European Union, United States and Russia the so-called quartet promoting Middle East peace insist that for aid to flow again the Palestinian government must meet three conditions: recognize Israel, renounce violence and accept existing agreements between Palestinians and Israelis.

Hamas, which has been responsible for scores of attacks against Israel and remains dedicated to Israel's destruction, gave no indication Monday that it would make any concessions to Israel.Hamas will continue to have its political agenda. We will never recognize the legitimacy of the occupation,Sami Abu Zuhri, a spokesman for Hamas, told reporters.But Palestinian officials said it's not necessary for Hamas to recognize Israel so long as the new unity government does.Officials said the new government's political program would be based on a document written by Hamas and Fatah political prisoners earlier this year, which calls for a two-state solution outlined in a calling for a Palestinian state within 1967 borders, including Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The political program would also incorporate the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, which not only seeks an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but also an Israeli withdrawal from all Arab land captured in the 1967 Mideast War including the Golan Heights and a just solution to the issue of Palestinian refugees.Whether the new government's program will be enough to satisfy Western donors so aid can flow again to the Palestinian Authority is not clear.

For its part, Israel says it is open to working with a new government if it meets all the benchmarks set by the Western countries and the U.N. and the release of Cpl. Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier who was abducted by Palestinian militants June 25.

U.S. says Hamas-led Palestinian authority must renounce violence

The United States reiterated on Monday that the Hamas-led Palestinian government must renounce violence and accept Israel's right to exist to qualify for a resumption of full Western aid. The Palestinian government must accept the three principles of peace, namely disavowal of terror and violence, recognition of Israel and acceptance of previous agreements between the two sides, including a peacemaking process, State Department spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos said.

Those principles are the only internationally approved basis for moving toward a negotiated end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Gallegos said. They have been accepted by the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and Russia. The United States made the statement followed a meeting Sunday between British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the Palestinian Authority. Prime Minister Blair rightly stressed these points, Gallegos said. Washington provides humanitarian aid to the Palestinians, but no direct aid to the Palestinian Authority. Western countries also suspended aid when Hamas, which they consider to be a terror group, took over the Palestinian government earlier this year after an election victory. Source: Xinhua

9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain (beheaded) for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

REVELATION 20:4

Qaeda leader claims beheading of Sudan editor

KHARTOUM (Reuters) - A man purporting to lead an African branch of al Qaeda claimed responsibility on Tuesday for the beheading of a Sudanese newspaper editor who was found dead last week. The man, in a statement distributed to Sudanese newspapers, called editor Mohamed Taha a dog of dogs from the ruling party, and accused him of insulting the prophet Mohammad.

The statement was signed by Abu Hafs al-Sudani, who said he was the leader of al Qaeda in Sudan and Africa.Taha, an ally of the government who was himself an Islamist, was reported kidnapped from outside his home in the capital Khartoum a week ago, and was found dead on Wednesday.Three individuals from this organization undertook this operation ... and they are now outside Sudan,said the statement, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters.

Taha's killing heightened political tensions in Khartoum as the government headed on a collision course with the international community over its rejection of a U.N. Security Council resolution to deploy more than 20,000 troops and police to war-ravaged Darfur.Taha had drawn protests from Islamic groups last year by reprinting a series of articles questioning the roots of the Prophet Mohammad. Colleagues say Taha had also begun to criticize the government's policy on Darfur and recent price rises to fill a budget gap.Mainly Muslim Sudan is under sharia Islamic law in the north, but while it has suffered multiple regional civil wars, it has not seen the extremist violence that has surfaced elsewhere in the Middle East.Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden lived in Sudan in the 1990s until Khartoum expelled him in 1996 under U.S. and Saudi pressure.

Catholic high-level group could fuel EU God debate
11.09.2006 - 17:36 CET | By Mark Beunderman

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS European bishops have commissioned a high-profile group of thinkers to draft a report on the EU's common values, in a move which could spur the debate on the need to include Christianity in a new EU treaty text.

The group of wise men and women held its first meeting on Monday (11 September) at the initiative of the Commission of the Bishops'Conferences of the European Community (COMECE). The experts group consisting only of Roman Catholics notably includes three members of the previous European Commission Mario Monti, Franz Fischler and Loyola de Palacio as well as Jacques Santer, who led the EU executive from 1995-1999 and former European Parliament president Pat Cox.

Former Belgian ambassador to the EU, Philippe de Schoutheete, who also has a seat in the group, said the aim of the project is to raise awareness of European values among the public at a time when most people are totally ignorant or unaware that there is something more to the EU than the single market or agricultural policy. The EU process has clearly been based on a certain number of values, but in the course of the process they have been largely forgotten,he said. A COMECE spokeswoman added that the initiative is also indirectly aimed at influencing a political declaration on the EU's values and ambitions which the bloc's leaders are planning to adopt on 25 March 2007 - the EU's 50th anniversary date.

The member states' EU birthday declaration is likely to spark fresh debate on Europe's Christian heritage as the basis of its common values - a debate which was recently re-opened by the German chancellor Angela Merkel who made a plea for including God in a new EU treaty text. The text of the EU constitution, which was put on ice after French and Dutch voters rejected it last year, does not include a reference to Christianity, despite strong lobbying by COMECE during the drafting of the text in 2003-2004.

After visiting the Pope in August, Mrs Merkel said I underlined my opinion that we need a European identity in the form of a constitutional treaty and I think it should be connected to Christianity and God, as Christianity has forged Europe in a decisive way.

Mr De Schoutheete said that the newly launched experts group is not a fresh Catholic attempt to get God into a new EU treaty text as such. We have no mandate to draft a constitution or a preamble of a constitution, he said. The group will instead identify the values that drove the EU's founding fathers and which can be linked to Christian faith such as peace, freedom, a rejection of extreme nationalism, solidarity, respect for diversity and subsidiarity (the idea that political decisions should be taken at the lowest possible level).

But COMECE's secretary general Noel Treanor said that apart from the work of the experts group, European bishops are themselves set to discuss their stance on God in a new EU treaty, now that Ms Merkel has re-opened the debate.

As anti-Israel Annan runs roughshod, time to eliminate UN
Bill Adams, Ridgeley, W.Va.

Now, cometh the Useless Nabobs, led by Kofi the Belligerent an organization whose preamble includes a section on establishing conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained,as well as,uniting our strength to maintain international peace and security.The United Nations has turned into a spineless, paper tiger whose words are worth less than the paper they are written on.Kofi Annan's failures are almost too numerous to list. But, the most glaring ones, Darfur, Rwanda and the Food For Oil Program in Iraq, come to the forefront. The same Kofi demanded that Israel open the fences from Gaza because they affected human lives, yet ignored the thousands of Rwandans murdered by death squads! There wasn't enough cash to be made in Rwanda or Darfur for Kofi and The Family,so there was little time spent on them!

The Security Council members include some of the biggest back-stabbers (France) and liars on the planet (Russia and France). At least the Chinese will usually just abstain from voting now (they like capitalism). The United States can go through the diplomatic dances, only to find, when the time comes to act, that the rug is pulled out from under them.The countries like Iran, Syria and North Korea know that the United Nations is as worthless as its resolutions! Ask Hezbollah how well Resolution 1559 contained them from arming and attacking Israel, as the UN forces watched and documented it!You probably will not see a resolution levied against Iran at all.

Russia (who is building Iran's largest reactor) is not going to vote for sanctions, which will cost them money and endanger oil supplies to them. China will abstain because they sell more arms to Iran than anyone except the Russians, and they need oil for their booming economy as well.

So I ask you, What exactly is the purpose of the UN? Who needs the UN? A humanitarian organization could be formed to handle those needs, and we could end this charade once and for all! For the United States to foot the bill for this den of thieves is ridiculous! When nations no longer stand for or act in a manner which is relevant to the Charter of the United Nations, it is time to dissolve it! The decisions which are made, are driven by money and greed, from the bottom dwellers to King Kofi himself! The millions he and his family made in the Oil for Food program alone should have gotten him a jail sentence. But King Kofi knows his court, and the jesters in it. He knows that the UN is powerless, and on he goes!

King Kofi comes out of his ivory tower when he feels the world needs his advice. He spreads words of wisdom and demands that countries do what he says! Or what? The UN will place one of its powerful sanctions on them? I will guarantee if Kofi could have his way Israel would be sanctioned into non-existence. If that man is not an anti-Semite, I don't know who is! From the time Israel was attacked, you could tell that Kofi wanted Israel restrained, while not being interested or concerned about Israel being attacked and her people killed! It is time for the king to be dethroned and his court dissolved. The world would be a better place. There would be a lot of time and effort saved, that could really be spent on making the world a safer place to live for our children and grandchildren!

Terror Attack on US Embassy in Damascus
By Hillel Fendel(INN)

Syrian sources say they rebuffed a terrorist car-bomb attack upon the US Embassy in Syria. Diplomats and embassy employees are safe. Western sources are not convinced the incident was not staged. Syrian security forces were reported to have taken quick control of the situation, surrounding the embassy complex.Sounds of shooting and an explosion were heard around 10 AM from the area of the US Embassy complex in the Syrian capital of Damascus. Syrian security forces prevented access to the area for close to two hours afterwards.Syrian government sources say the attack was repelled, and that three gunmen were killed in a gun battle with security guards. A security guard was reported dead as well. Remnants of a blown-up car, with unexploded gas canisters, were shown on television footage.

Some analysts have said that today's events work in Syria's favor, as it is thus able to show the U.S. that it, too, is fighting against terrorism.The United States has not had an ambassador in Syria for a year and a half. Ambassador Margaret Scobey was ordered back to Washington in February 2005 for urgent consultations after the killing of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri in a car bomb attack.

Humans causing stronger storms
By Richard Black Environment correspondent, BBC News website

Katrina drew attention to a possible link from emissions to storms Increases in hurricane intensity are down to humanity's greenhouse gas emissions, according to new analysis. Scientists calculate that two-thirds of the recent rise in sea temperatures, thought to fuel hurricanes, is down to anthropogenic emissions. Research published last year found there had been a sharp rise in the incidence of category 4 and 5 storms the strongest in recent decades. But other scientists caution there may be errors in historical storm records.

Hurricane formation is strongly linked to sea surface temperature, with warmer waters more likely to form storms.Temperature increases in these hurricane breeding grounds cannot be explained by natural processes alone

Tom Wigley

Sea surface temperature and hurricane strength vary naturally, and deciphering a clear impact of human greenhouse gas emissions has been difficult.

However, the last two years have seen several major pieces of research which have at least increased understanding of the issue, without settling it conclusively.

Peak of intensity

In July last year, Kerry Emanuel, from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, published research showing that the duration, maximum wind speeds and energy released in tropical storms has increased markedly in both the North Atlantic and the North Pacific oceans since the mid-1970s. A few months later Peter Webster from the Georgia Institute of Technology documented a rise in the incidence of category 4 and 5 storms; the 15-year period from 1975 to 1989 saw 171 severe hurricanes, but the number rose to 269 for the subsequent 15 years. He told the BBC News website at the time: What I think we can say is that the increase in intensity is probably accounted for by the increase in sea surface temperature, and I think probably the sea surface temperature increase is a manifestation of global warming.

Then in June this year, Kevin Trenberth of the US National Center for Atmospheric Research analysed the exceptionally active 2005 North Atlantic hurricane season. Sea surface temperatures (SST) had been 0.9C above the long-term average, he found; and by comparing the North Atlantic with other regions of the ocean, he deduced that human greenhouse gas emissions accounted for about half of this rise.

Hurricane Animated guide

The latest research takes things another step further, using 22 computer models of climate to examine a possible link between SSTs and human-induced global warming. These models typically deal in projections and probabilities, which is inevitable with a huge and chaotic system such as global climate. Benjamin Santer, Tom Wigley and colleagues conclude: There is an 84% chance that external forcing [human activities] explain at least 67% of the observed SST increases in the Pacific and Atlantic zones where hurricanes form. The important conclusion is that the observed SST increases in these hurricane breeding grounds cannot be explained by natural processes alone,said Dr Wigley. The best explanation for these changes has to include a large human influence.

Stormy times

On a political level, the debate over hurricane intensity has become a poster child for climate sceptics. They object to what they regard as overblown, opportunistic links made by some commentators between the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, in particular, and rising greenhouse gas concentrations. Their arguments are given scientific underpinning by problems which some researchers have identified in historical records of storms.

Historically a storm was given a certain strength, and then it's re-analysed and it comes out as having been much stronger Julian Heming Satellite observations date back only about 35 years, and even then there are issues of calibration; were early instruments measuring things in precisely the same way as their successors? Before that, researchers have to rely on written records from observations on land and at sea. I've seen examples where historically a storm was given a certain strength, and then it's re-analysed and it comes out as having been much stronger,commented Julian Heming, tropical prediction scientist with the UK Meteorological Office. And even if we take it as read that there is an increase in the baseline of sea surface temperature, there are complexities in the way that cyclone formation reacts to that,he told the BBC News website.

The hurricane now approaching Bermuda [Florence] struggled and struggled to get to hurricane intensity; so there will be year-to-year differences, and even storm-to-storm differences. Sceptical observers also maintain that computer models are far from perfect.But as Benjamin Santer and Tom Wigley point out, what other tools are there for projecting the future? In the real world, we are performing an unprecedented and uncontrolled geophysical experiment, they write. We know, beyond a shadow of doubt, that [human] activities have changed the chemical composition of the Earth's atmosphere. In a post-Katrina world, we need to do the best job we possibly can to understand the complex influences on hurricane intensity.
