Coastal communities warned of tide peril as storms sweep in
SHÂN ROSS

SCOTLAND was on flood alert today as gale force winds and some of the highest tides in 20 years hit the west of the country.

Met Office forecasters warned last night that gusts of up to 60mph and large waves could breach coastal defences today. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) issued flood watches last night for rivers in Edinburgh and across the Lothians with particular emphasis on the mouth of the River Esk at Musselburgh. Other areas at risk are the Firth of Clyde, rivers in Dumfries and Galloway and the Kyle of Sutherland where roads and bridges are likely to subject to flooding. The agency warned a storm surge combined with high tides and winds could lead to flooding in low-lying areas in the west.

The area most likely to be affected in south-west Scotland is beside the River Nith, south of Dumfries, in the village of Kingholm Quay and on the B725 between Kelton and Glencaple. Several ferry sailings face cancellation this weekend. Caledonian MacBrayne said last night that gales had forced the cancellation of the 7pm service from Craignure to Oban and the 5pm Oban to Colonsay ferry.In the Western Isles, drivers were issued with severe weather warnings and told the worst affected area over the next 24 hours was likely to be Stornoway town centre and the southern isles, with gales expected this evening. Western Isles Council is offering sandbags to householders in low-lying properties.

Northern Constabulary advised drivers that the combination of 30-35mph winds and high tides was expected to cause problems in the southern islands. A spokesman said: This may cause some difficulties in the area for motorists. Drivers are urged to take extra care and make extra time available. Last January, a family of five from South Uist were killed when a freak wave hit their cars as the most powerful Atlantic storm in a decade hit the islands with gusts of up to 124mph. The threat of gales prompted the Shetland Coastguard to issue an urgent appeal for help yesterday morning after a fishing vessel, Helenus, became entangled in its fishing gear and needed a tow to Lerwick.

The Ocean Prospect, an oil rig being towed north past Shetland, responded by sending out the Olympic Hercules, an anchor-handling tug, to undertake the nine-hour journey towing the stricken vessel to Lerwick. Despite a lull today caused by a change in wind direction, coastal areas of southern England have been warned they could be at risk of further flooding tomorrow evening. David Rooke, the head of flood defence at the Environment Agency, which covers England and Wales, said: High tides are expected for this weekend, so anyone out near the coast should be aware of any changes in weather conditions. People are advised to follow latest weather forecasts from the Met Office and see our website for the latest flood information.

Heavy rain forces evacuations in Va. By STEVE SZKOTAK, Associated Press Writer

RICHMOND, Va. A storm that dropped as much as 9 inches of rain forced the evacuation Saturday of about 100 people in a six-block section of the capital, caused scattered flooding in the southeastern part of the state and likely contributed to the death of two fishermen. Ferry service across the James River was temporarily suspended because of high waters; one ferry returned to service Saturday afternoon. In southeast Virginia's Isle of Wight, officials evacuated about three dozen people and reported widespread flooding after at least 8 inches of rain since Friday.We have more roads out than we can keep track of,said Don Robertson, a spokesman for the county. We have some bridges that are out (and) a lot of flash flood conditions.

The bodies of cousins David F. Dryden, 70, and John W. Dryden, 59, were found Saturday in the Poquoson River where it empties into Chesapeake Bay, the Coast Guard said. Their boat was found capsized Friday night in seas of up to 5 feet and 50 mph wind gusts, Petty Officer Kip Wadlow said.The National Weather Service said rainfall since Friday ranged from 4 to 9 inches as a storm stalled over the state and a band of rain drenched central Virginia to Hampton Roads. Rain was forecast to taper off later Saturday.

In Richmond's Battery Park, police went door-to-door to more than 40 homes and apartment buildings to enforce the city-ordered evacuation. A month ago, the area was flooded during Tropical Depression Ernesto, causing $9 million in property damage and the condemnation of 68 properties. More than 250 homes were evacuated then.The latest evacuation involved approximately 100 residents, said Britt Drewes, a spokeswoman for the Department of Public Works. An emergency shelter was opened.These residents are so sad to see this again, Drewes said. When the rain started, everybody cringed. There's just frustration.

The flooding is partly the result of a broken sewer main that fouled the flood waters and brought vermin and snakes into some residents homes during Ernesto. Forty million gallons of water a day is being pumped from the neighborhood, but that doesn't keep up with the rain, Drewes said.At this point, the water is still very high,she reported before noon Saturday.Repairs to the sewer pipe are complicated because it is under a former landfill about a mile from the urban neighborhood.

Papua New Guinea volcano rumbles on after explosive eruption

SYDNEY (AFP) A volcano in Papua New Guinea erupted for a second day but the rumbling peak was calming down and thousands of residents who fled were expected to return, an official said. Ash, steam and lava were still pouring from the Mount Tavurvur volcano after an awe-inspiring eruption on Saturday, said vulcanologist Steve Sanders of PNG's Volcano Observatory in Rabaul on the island of New Britain.

There were one or two explosions early this morning, he told AFP in a telephone interview.There are lava flows coming out to west and northeast, steaming where they are entering the sea.But the flow of ash was much reduced, with gentle emissions of steam and ash billowing out, he said.The gas-rich material erupted yesterday and today gas-poor lava is coming out quietly.

Sanders said shockwaves from the explosions during Saturday's eruption blew out windows at the observatory about 12 kilometres (seven miles) away.The shockwaves also rattled and broke windows in the town as a plume of ash rose some 18 kilometres into the air, sending 2,000 residents fleeing 12 years after Rabaul was largely destroyed in another eruption.Sanders said there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, and he expected people to move back home quite soon.Most people were accustomed to ash emissions, although Saturday's eruption was the biggest since 1997, he said.Yesterday was pretty awe-inspiring because of the blast effect as the magma reached the surface with big explosions and shockwaves,he said.

But Sanders said he believed major new eruptions were unlikely.The lava flows may go on for a few days, and ash emissions for a few weeks, but it's unlikely to be explosive, he said.Winds had dispersed much of the ash and it was not more than a centimetre thick where it had settled in the town.Hotelier Bruce Alexander had expressed concerns that there would be looting overnight after people evacuated their homes, but a guest told AFP by phone Sunday that it had been very quiet.They handled it very well, there was a strong police presence. The dust has settled and the sun's coming out,said Ray van Zuyden.In 1994, major eruptions of the 688-metre (2,270-foot) Tavurvur and nearby Mount Vulcan destroyed much of Rabaul, and while loss of life was minimal due to a quick evacuation, looters ransacked the town.

Israel seals West Bank, Gaza for Jewish holiday Fri Oct 6, 9:06 AM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) - The Israeli military has imposed a total closure on the Palestinian territories for security reasons ahead of the seven-day Jewish holiday of Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. The army said Friday the closure would be imposed from Friday afternoon and would be lifted after an additional security assessment.Sukkot ends on October 15.

More than 7,000 Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza Strip will be able to enter Israel for work and religious reasons, the army also announced.Israel routinely orders total closures on the Palestinian territories during national holidays and religious festivals.Scuffles broke out at the south entrance to annexed east Jerusalem when 300 Palestinians tried to push past a checkpoint in order to pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on the second Friday in Ramadan, police said.Border guards fired off stun grenades in order to disperse the crowd although no casualties were reported.Around 100,000 Muslim worshippers took part in Friday prayers at the flashpoint compound, which is the third holiest site in world Islam.

Seizures of dirty bomb materials rise

VIENNA, Oct. 6 (UPI) The International Atomic Energy Agency reportedly has found a sharp rise in seizures of smuggled radioactive materials that can be use to make dirty bombs. The Times of London, quoting IAEA figures, says such seizures, mostly in Europe, had doubled in the past four years. The report says there have been more than 300 instances of smugglers caught in such trafficking activities since 2002. The disclosure comes at a time when al-Qaida is reportedly is intensifying its efforts to obtain a radioactive device. The Times said that last year Western security agencies foiled 16 attempts to smuggle plutonium or uranium and that in other instances small quantities of highly enriched uranium were reported missing. Experts say the smugglers are eyeing hospital X-ray equipment and laboratory supplies as a source of radioactive material.

Investigators fear smugglers are only interested in making money and would have no concern selling the materials to terrorist groups, The Times report said. IAEA's Olli Heinonen said while weapons-grade nuclear material smuggling may be rare, there are serious concerns about other sources. A dirty bomb is something that needs to be taken seriously. We need to be prepared for anything because anything could happen, he told The Times.

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
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Egypt: Coptic Christians Decry State Violation of Human Rights
Catholic Information Service for Africa (Nairobi),October 6, 2006,Washington, DC

Islamic terrorists and Egyptian state security continue to attack and persecute Coptic Christians in the largely Muslim north African nation, a Coptic organization says.The Catholic News Service reports that the American Coptic Union (ACU) claims in a recent letter that human rights abuses against the Copts have been escalating since September 11, 2001, and the Egyptian government has not responded with any protection. ACU is a nonprofit organization that represents Coptic people in the US and Egypt.The daily horrors of shame-rape, ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, and forced conversion, particularly in the southern part of Upper Egypt, are seriously eroding the Copts' economic, social, and religious existence,says the letter to the American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice ahead of her meeting with the Egyptian government.

Despite the good relationship and numerous calls by President George W. Bush to President Hosni Mubarak, the daily life of the Copts continues to deteriorate, the letter says.While the Egypt government continues to isolate its Coptic population, it has never discussed the constitutional rights of Egypt's Christians nor has it legislated any new laws or presidential decrees to ensure human rights for the Copts,it reads.

In fact, human rights activists are often harassed, attacked and falsely imprisoned. ACU says it has documented and reported many of these crimes, which the Egyptian government has ignored. The letter tells of the case of Mary Bulak, a Coptic mother, whose two minor daughters were kidnapped, raped, and forcefully converted to Islam in 2003.

ACU also pointed out that the 2004 murder of human rights lawyer Sabry Zaky has been ignored by officials and remains unsolved.The 2006 CIA World Factbook estimates that nearly 7 million, or 9 per cent, of the ethnic Egyptian population is Coptic, making it the largest Christian community in the Arab world. The term Coptic refers to an ethno-religious group made up of Orthodox, Catholic, and some Protestant Christians originating in Egypt.© 2006 Catholic Information Service for Africa.

Right of Reply: Diaspora's future depends on Israel
By BINYAMIN NETANYAHU

On Friday, The Jerusalem Post published a story that incorrectly claimed that I stated in a closed meeting that there is no future for Jewish life in the Diaspora.I neither said nor believe that. What I said was that there is no future for Jewish life in the Diaspora without the State of Israel. Israel not only guarantees the life of the Jews living in the Jewish state, it also gives focus, purpose and
identity to Jewish people everywhere. That is why I believe that without a state of Israel, Diaspora Jewry will be dealt a fatal blow.

The importance of Israel to the collective destiny of the Jewish people should be obvious to anyone with a sense of history. The fact is that had there been a Jewish state before World War II, there would have been no Holocaust. It is equally true that had there not been a Jewish state after the Holocaust, there would be many fewer Jews in the world today.

Simply look at the numbers. In 1948, there were 12 million Jews in the world, with only 600,000 (5% of world Jewry) in our embryonic state. With even a slow population growth rate over the last 60 years, world Jewry should have at least doubled.

Unfortunately it hasn't. Growth has remained flat because we have lost countless Jews in the Diaspora to assimilation and intermarriage. Though there are roughly the same number of Jews in the world today as there were 60 years ago, now almost six
million Jews (well over 40% of world Jewry) live in Israel. In fact, this year, the Jewish community in Israel became the largest Jewish community in the world for the first time in nearly two millennia. Still, the centrality of Israel is not merely due to the fact that the physical center of collective Jewish life has shifted here. Israel also continues to play an important role in the life of Diaspora Jewry. Many Diaspora Jews work tirelessly to strengthen their own communities connection to Israel, recognizing that in doing so they not only are supporting the only Jewish state we have but also strengthening their own Jewish communities. I applaud efforts to deepen the ties between Israel and Diaspora Jewry and I was proud to be the first Israeli prime minister to invest in programs such as birthright that help achieve this important objective. I did so because just as I believe that a strong Israel makes for a strong Diaspora, I also believe that a strong Diaspora makes for a strong Israel. For the last half-century, the two pillars of Jewish life have been a strong Israel and a strong Diaspora. I hope to continue to fortify these pillars so that we can secure what will always be our common future. The writer is the leader of the Opposition.

Red tape stifles free trade by the back door
IRWIN STELZER-American Account

IF you are the sort who thinks that the free movement of goods, capital and people enriches all the world’s nations, you are probably worried because the Doha round of trade talks is on life support, and the plug is about to be pulled. And you can’t be happy that the EU has decided to load tariffs on inexpensive, Chinese-made shoes, even though EC trade commissioner Peter Mandelson’s proposal that they stay in place for five years has been pared to a mere two. And if you are the sort who worries when another nation’s laws seem to take precedence over your own, and affect the business community, you can’t be happy that some loony magistrate in, say, Spain, can issue an arrest warrant for a British citizen, and have him whisked off to jail without an extradition hearing. Or that American cops can feel the collar of a respected British businessman when he lands at Kennedy airport to attend a meeting of a company engaged in perfectly legal activities.

The bad news is that there is a lot more to worry about than you might think, as the markets realised when American lawmakers attached to the Safe Ports bill a provision that will bar the 12m American online betters from using credit cards, bank cheques and electronic fund transfers. That, in effect, ends internet gambling in America, and wiped £4 billion off the value of an industry that started the day worth an estimated £6 billion. The decision by the US Congress and President George Bush to appease the social conservatives who see gambling as evil knocked £2.5 billion off the share price of Party Gaming, the industry leader that counted on American punters for about 80% of its revenues. Other British companies also felt the impact of the American decision: the market value of Sportingbet fell almost £500m, forcing it to call off merger talks with World Gaming.

As Robert Cole pointed out in The Times: If online gaming is outlawed simply because it is distasteful to a certain breed of regulator, it will create fear that other enterprises will be banned for illogical or spurious reasons. That fear is already more than justified, and not only in the case of gambling. The process of passing national laws that affect foreign companies is widespread. The Chinese have a variety of ways of restricting the activities of Google, Yahoo and other such firms, restraining trade every bit as much as if they told the World Trade Organisation (WTO) never to darken their nation’s doorstep again.

The Russians, who are clamouring for admittance to the WTO on the grounds that theirs is a market economy eligible to sit at the table of free-trading nations, are using environmental regulations and national laws to wring concessions from international oil companies. Vladimir Putin’s government contends that Total’s licence to explore in the Arctic circle, and Royal Dutch Shell’s contract to develop natural gas in Sakhalin, on an island in Russia’s Far East, violate its environmental regulations, and that Exxon’s contract in Sakhalin doesn’t convey the rights the company believed it did. Besides, the terminal through which Exxon’s oil would pass on its way to market suddenly seems to the safety inspectors less safe than when they approved it. Only the churlish would contend that Putin is unhappy with these deals, signed when Boris Yeltsin was president, Russia was desperate for foreign investment, and oil was selling at less than $20 a barrel.

No matter: they are yet another example of a country using its laws in a way that harms the companies of other nations France (Total), the Netherlands (Shell) and America (Exxon).

Then there is the EU, probably the world’s leading practitioner of the art of using national rules to stifle the activities of foreign companies while appearing to have no such object in mind. Last week the WTO finally made available to the public its 1,000-page report holding that the EU violated WTO rules by banning genetically modified (GM) products between 1998 and 2004. The EU knew this was coming, and so substituted a product-by-product review process for the general ban, which allows it to contend that it is testing the safety of each of the foods that Americans consume quite happily and with no ill effects. US trade representative Susan Schwab points out that the EU has approved only a handful of biotech applications, and that some such applications have been pending for 10 years or more and applications for many commercially important products continue to face unjustified, politically motivated delays. Indeed, Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy and Luxembourg have gone further, and continue to ban even those GM crops that have been approved by the EU. What America’s social conservatives have done to British gaming companies, and Russia’s siloviki are doing to international oil companies, EU protectionists are trying to do to American farmers.

All of this means that there is more going on in world markets than we usually consider. Yes, China hurts European and American companies by keeping its currency undervalued. Yes, EU and US agricultural protectionism mightily affect farmers in poor countries. And yes, decisions by the Federal Reserve Board affect the value of the dollar and therefore the competitiveness and fortunes of companies the world over. In all of these and other cases, decisions by one country have profound effects on another.

But there is more to the story of international interdependence than most people realise. A nation’s laws and regulations can have serious effects, some intended, some not, far beyond its own borders.

Syria says prepared for Israeli attack
7 October 2006 | 13:26 | Source: AP, Jerusalem Post

DAMASCUS Syrian President Bashar Assad said Friday that Syria has begun preparations to counter an Israeli attack at any moment.

The president told the Kuwaiti daily Al-Anba that Israel had given up on the peace process, even though most of the issues of contention between the two countries were resolved.Assad also said that if Iran attacked any Arab country, Syria would send armed forces in response as required by the Joint Defense Treaty. Turning to Egypt and Saudi Arabia, Assad said that the three Arab countries should consult less now and should work together toward helping the hundreds of millions of Arabs in region, and called on Egypt and Saudi Arabia to return to holding summits with Damascus.

We hope that we go back soon to the idea of holding Syrian-Egyptian-Saudi summits like we used to do in the 1990s, Assad said.

Assad has been making attempts to align Syria with other Middle East heavyweights and play a stronger role in the region's politics. He also has been trying to mend rifts with Egypt and Saudi Arabia since describing Mideast leaders as half men during a televised speech in August. But Assad later claimed that he did not specifically mean the leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, who had criticized Syrian-backed Hizbullah's capture of two IDF soldiers July 12 that sparked the Israeli assault on Lebanon.
