Scientists unlock secret of small Mount St. Helens earthquakes,Nov 25, 2006 at 12:59 AM PST By Joe English and KATU Web Staff

VANCOUVER, Wash. - Scientists have discovered what has caused more than a million small earthquakes on Mount St. Helens over the past two years.Comparing it to a loose wine cork, they said a huge rock plug is moving up a fraction of an inch, sticking and moving again. It grinds away and falls apart at the top, forming the spine visible from the surface.The rock plug is about as long as a football field.Scientists said the physics, the mechanics of what is going on miles deep inside the mountain, are really pretty simple.If you turn a crank on a piece of machinery, and every time you turn it one revolution, it squeaks a little, these earthquakes are kind of similar, said Dick Iverson, a geoscientist.When the mountain erupted in 1980, it was plugged similarly but back then the cork was in pretty tight.What's happening now is more analogous to having a loose cork, and gas that's ... coming up through the magma and so forth is able to sneak out around the edges of this loose cork, Iverson said.That means the mountain that has been quietly rumbling for two years should keep doing just that.There's nothing in the behavior we observe or in the calculations that would suggest that we're in for any sort of big explosion any time soon, he said.

Gale warning as Britain is whipped by 75mph winds
Lucy Bannerman (Thetimesonline) Nov 25,06

Much of Britain will be waking up to hurricane-force winds, forecasters predicted last night. Potentially damaging gales of up to 75mph were expected to blast the central, northern and eastern counties of England and Wales. Although the storms are unlikely to surpass those that struck Britain in October 1987 or January 1990, the Met Office warned people in the Midlands and East Anglia to prepare for the worst and show extra vigilance, forecasting heavy rain and an increased threat of flooding. We are in a particularly stormy period at the moment, said a spokesman, Wayne Elliott. We are seeing depression after depression steaming off the Atlantic, bringing heavy rains and windy spells. It is very unsettled. A very complex weather system is moving across the south-east quarter of the country, so the areas we are most concerned about are the Midlands and East Anglia.

He said that although the worst of the storm should pass by tonight the rest of the weekend would still be blustery. Last night there remained doubt over the exact path of the storm, but winds of between 65 and 75mph were expected. Gusts to this strength are infrequent across the South East and likely to lead to disruption to transport and power supplies, Mr Elliot said. Other forecasters said that the severe winds would likely hit Wales, the Irish Sea coast and parts of Scotland. Drivers were advised to be aware of strong winds when planning their journeys, and the Coastguard Agency has urged mariners not to go out to sea. There are extremely high winds forecast for the next few days, with the outlook suggesting gale force 8 to storm 10, perhaps even violent storm 11. Storm 11 is one force less than a hurricane, a spokesman said. The agency also advised against wave-watching from
piers and promenades.

Paul Simons, the Times weather expert, said that there was on average a severe storm every autumn, but this one would be dangerous because many trees were still in leaf. Winds at 75mph can bring down chimneys, but I think trees falling on roads and houses is the main concern, he said. When their leaves have fallen the wind just blows through the branches, but if they are in leaf it acts as sails, making it more likely the tree will fall down. That risk is made worse if the ground is wet and loose, as it is now, which makes it easier for the trees to uproot. He said that Britain was experiencing the effects of a complex meteorological pattern. We are going through a very turbulent time. What you have got is a very rigorous jet stream, which is dragging over storms that are very fast, powerful and with lots of momentum like a conveyer belt. It is a triple whammy. And, unfortunately for us, they are coming in our direction. In 1953, hundreds of people were killed when gales battered the east coast, and in 1976 22 people died as a result of bad weather. Southern England was devastated by a surprise storm in October 1987, and 39 people lost their lives. Many were injured by falling trees and masonry.

Heavy rains, flooding kill 8 in Panama Fri Nov 24, 11:41 PM ET

PANAMA CITY, Panama - Heavy rains and flooding in Panama have left at least eight people dead and damaged hundreds of homes, the government said Friday.

The rains, which began Monday and were predicted to last until Saturday, have caused rivers to overflow and bridges to collapse, cutting off several communities northwest of the capital of Panama City, authorities said.

The dead included two men killed in a landslide, two men who drowned, a couple killed when a tree fell on their house, and a pregnant woman who suffered a spike in her blood pressure but failed to receive medical attention because her community had been cut off, said National Civil Protection Director Roberto Velasquez.The eighth fatality occurred in the community of Capira, 50 miles west of the capital, Velasquez said. He did not release any details.A search was also under way for a park guard reported missing in the Colon province, the federal Environment Department said.On Friday, officials sent first aid, bottled water, dry goods and other domestic items by helicopter to the Cocle, Colon, and Panama provinces, Interior Minister Ileana Golcher said.More than 200 houses have been destroyed and nearly 700 others damaged, the Civil Protection Department said.

Volcanic ash closes Sicily airport Fri Nov 24, 9:22 PM ET

CATANIA, Sicily - Volcanic ash spewed from simmering Mount Etna on Friday, forcing authorities to close a nearby airport, officials said. The Fontanarossa airport, the main facility in eastern Sicily, would stay closed at least until early Saturday, when the state of the volcanic phenomenon and possible reopening of the airport will be examined, the airport said on its web site.

This is all part of Etna's normal activity, said Antonella Scalzo, a geologist with Italy's Civil Defense Department. The ash is a nuisance, it's not a precursor of a change in activity.The 10,974-foot-high volcano resumed eruptions in early September and has sent lava streaming as far down as 7,546 feet. Scalzo said that is a safe distance from people's homes, which don't go any higher up the volcano than 2,297 feet.Civil Protection Department spokesman Roberto Forina said the only damage from the ash had been the airport's closure.

Mount Etna, Europe's biggest and most active volcano, springs to life every few months. In 1669, a huge eruption destroyed Catania, on Sicily's eastern coast. Etna's last major eruption was in 1992.

TIME: Iran, Syria helping Hizbullah rearm
Ynet Published: 11.25.06, 09:41

Based on intelligence sources, American weekly reports group has replenished nearly half of its pre-war stockpiles of short-range missiles and small arms with help from Damascus, Tehran.

According to report, weapons transferred to secret Iranian base on outskirts of Damascus, shipped by truck across border into Lebanon As if there was no war: Despite United Nations Resolution 1701 , and the deployment of the Lebanese army and UNIFIL troops in southern Lebanon , Iran and Syria continue to rearm the Hizbullah organization, the American TIME Magazine reported Friday.The report is based on Israeli and Saudi intelligence sources and on western diplomats in Beirut.

Israeli military officials told TIME that Hizbullah replenished nearly half of its pre-war stockpiles of short-range missiles and small arms.But western diplomats in Beirut said these calculations underestimate the weapons flow and that Hizbullah has now filled its war chest with over 20,000 short-range missiles a similar amount to what they had at the start of the conflict, during which the group is believed to have fired over 3,000 rockets at Israel . The Iranian pipeline through Syria was already working during the war, despite constant Israeli bombing raids on the roads into Lebanon from Syria, a Beirut source said. Officially, Syria and Iran deny that they're supplying weapons to Hizbullah. However, when asked about receiving a new shipment of arms from Syria and Iran, a spokesman for the Shiite group told TIME, without elaborating, We have more than enough weapons if Israel tries to attack us again.

Secret Iranian base in outskirts of Damascus

A Saudi source told TIME that over the past three months Iranian Revolutionary Guard officers have been operating out of a military base on the outskirts of Damascus. According to the source, the Iranian government has dispatched shipments of small arms and what appear to be missile components to this military base. From the secret base, weapons have been shipped by truck across the border into Lebanon. According to TIME, Western diplomats said that the Lebanese army has posted over 8,000 troops along the border, forcing smugglers to use mountain passes instead of the heavily-monitored crossing on the main Beirut-Damascus road.

Nawaf Obaid, a Saudi security advisor, said that his country was alarmed at Iran's speeding influence in Lebanon and that Saudi King Abdallah bin Abd al-Aziz al-Saud is expected to discuss the issue with US Vice President Richard Cheney on Saturday in Riyadh.

There has been a serious increase in activity in the rearming of Hizbullah, said Obaid, noting that a huge stream of trucks has been crossing the border from Syria into Lebanon, ferrying thinly disguised shipments of arms.According to Obaid, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) are using the Iranian embassies in Damascus and Beirut as command and control centers. The allegation was also confirmed to TIME by Israeli military sources. Obaid said there appear to be direct communications links between the Iranians and Hizbullah, via Hizbullah officers working inside the Iranian embassy in Beirut, and Iranian officers in the field with Hizbullah fighters.

Hamas offers peace talks for 6 months By NADIA ABOU EL-MAGD, Associated Press Writer NOV 25,06

CAIRO, Egypt Hamas leader said Saturday his group was willing to give peace negotiations with Israel six months to reach an agreement for a Palestinian state in Gaza and the West Bank, but threatened a new uprising if the talks fail. The comments by the group's Damascus-based supreme leader Khaled Mashaal were double-edged. It was the strongest confirmation by the Hamas political chief that the Islamic militant group would allow moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to try to negotiate with Israel.

But it was also the first time he has set a deadline with an explicit threat of a new uprising.We give six months to open real political horizons ... We agreed on the national accord to establish a Palestinian state, with the June 4, 1967 borders, he told a news conference in Cairo, referring to Israel's borders before it captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. They have to seize this opportunity.If an agreement is not reached within that time frame, Mashaal threatened a new confrontation with Israel.

Hamas will become stronger and the resistance will resume ... and will go on with a third uprising, he said.Israel had no immediate comment on Mashaal's proposal.The remarks suggested Hamas would be willing to call a cease-fire for six months to allow Abbas to negotiate with Israel and that the Islamic group would accept a two-state solution, though Mashaal stopped short of using that phrase or recognizing Israel.He spoke after three days of negotiations with Egyptian officials who are mediating in an attempt to break the deadlock in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. The talks were expected to continue.Mashaal suggested there was still no breakthrough on the two main issues: the formation of a Palestinian unity government and a possible prisoner swap for an Israel soldier held by Hamas since the summer. Hamas, which now leads the Palestinian government, is considering forming a coalition with the rival Fatah faction led by Abbas.

Abbas has been trying to work out a package deal with Hamas that would include a prisoner swap, a comprehensive cease-fire and the creation of a more moderate government of professionals to replace the one led by Hamas, which does not recognize the Jewish state.Mashaal said great strides had been made in negotiations over a new government. But he said more time was needed and stuck to Hamas rejection of a Cabinet made up of technocrats rather than politicians from the two parties.The issue is not a dispute over portfolios. It should be a Palestinian national unity government that represents Palestinian factions ... It should be political government, he said.He also blamed Israel for failure to reach a deal for the release of Israeli Cpl. Gilad Shalit in return for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Shalit was kidnapped by Gaza militants in a cross-border raid June 25, prompting an Israeli military assault on Gaza.We are not the reason behind postponing the decision; the postponing of a settlement is due to the other side, Mashaal said of a prisoner swap.

Abbas is hoping the comprehensive package will be the foundation for halting violence, launching new talks with Israel and lifting punishing Western and Israeli economic sanctions imposed on the Palestinians since Hamas formed its government in January.A top Abbas adviser, Ahmed Abdel Rahman, said Hamas has to accept a comprehensive deal, rather than trying to separately work out a government, a prisoner swap and an end to the economic embargo.Mashaal wanted to separate very connected things, Abdel Rahman said. We can't separate the issue of the government from the siege or (a prisoner swap). ... It's not our condition but we are not in an independent state to decide what we want.The United States and other Western countries are demanding that Hamas recognize Israel and renounce violence as part of any national unity government, but Hamas has rejected those demands.

13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Bloc Quebecois supports Canada PM

Stephen Harper said his motion would not change the constitution The leader of Canada's separatist Bloc Quebecois has said his party will back a government motion that Quebecers form a nation within a united Canada. Gilles Duceppe said Prime Minister Stephen Harper's motion was a victory for separatist aspirations in Quebec. Quebec, mostly Francophone, has held two referendums on separation, in 1980 and 1995, but rejected the idea. Mr Harper's Conservatives won Canada's general election in January to end 12 years of Liberal rule.

Quebec debate reopened

In a parliamentary debate on Friday, Mr Duceppe said the Bloc will join Canada's other opposition parties in supporting the motion that Mr Harper announced on Wednesday. We are delighted by the fact that Canada will become the first country to officially recognise the Quebec nation, Mr Duceppe said. The government motion says that the House of Commons should recognise that Quebecers constitute a nation within a united Canada. The Bloc Quebecois is the third-largest party in the national parliament after the Conservatives and Liberals. The debate over Quebec's status was reopened earlier in the week when the Bloc announced it would table a motion in parliament calling for recognition of Quebecers as a nation. Gilles Duceppe's Bloc Quebecois is Canada's third-largest party

There was no mention of Canada. Mr Harper then introduced his motion on Wednesday. The real question is simple, he said in the House of Commons. Do Quebecois make up a nation of their own in a united Canada? The answer is yes.

Do Quebecois make up a nation independent from Canada? The answer is no and will always be no. On Thursday the Bloc tabled its motion but with an amendment to say that Quebecers should be recognised as a nation that is currently within Canada. On Friday, Mr Harper welcomed the Bloc's decision to back the government. This is the third position the Bloc has taken on this in three days, Mr Harper said. They moved a motion, they made an amendment to a motion and now they're supporting our motion. He said the motion would not amend the constitution. This is merely a declaration of recognition and an act of reconciliation. Constitutional experts say the motion carries no legal weight and would be unlikely to give Quebec separatists a lever to extract more political powers from Ottawa. The motion is expected to pass easily in parliament next week now that it has the backing of all the major parties.
