Ice storms, snow, floods, tornado wallop US killing 13 Sun Jan 14, 5:46 PM ET

CHICAGO (AFP) Freezing rain, snow, sleet, flash floods and at least one tornado walloped the United States this weekend, killing

at least 13 people in accidents on slick roads as a storm front blanketed much of the country, local media and authorities said. The storm was expected to continue through at least Tuesday.The ice, wind and snow downed trees, traffic signals and power lines, blocked roads and forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights. Churches cancelled Sunday services and businesses closed early or did not open at all.Ten people died in Oklahoma where slippery highways caused more than 200 accidents, the Oklahoman newspaper reported.With about 100,000 people without power in Oklahoma, state Governor Brad Henry asked the federal government for assistance in handling the consequences of the ice storm, the paper reported on its website.

Were doing everything we can to help Oklahomans who have lost power or suffered other hardships because of the winter storm, Henry said.We need additional resources that only the federal government can provide.A state of emergency was declared and the National Guard was called out in the midwestern state of Missouri after an ice storm knocked power out to more than 200,000 homes on a bitterly cold weekend.

Emergency shelters and hotels were filled by people trying to warm up and a nursing home had to be evacuated because of the freezing temperatures, local media reported.
In Texas, the governor also called out the National Guard after more than six inches of rain caused flash flooding and dramatic high-water rescues.One woman was swept away by floodwaters in an Austin creek and a man who jumped in to save her was rescued when he was spotted clinging to foliage in water up to his neck, the Austin-American Statesman reported.Crowds filled grocery stores to stock up on essentials after the rain was forecast to turn into an ice storm, the Statesman reported.

Record-breaking cold weather even hit California, which usually has mild temperatures throughout the year, with citrus farmers in the Central Valley and the southern part of the state using wind-machines to protect their fruit, the Los Angeles Times reported.Photos showed icicles hanging off of tangerine trees in a Central Valley orchard, a rare sight in the state.This is a very, very big cold front, National Weather Service spokesman Greg Romano told AFP.We're aware of at least six fatalities and numerous injuries due to weather-related vehicle accidents as of Saturday afternoon. There's been tree damage, downed power lines and significant power outages.Parts of Colorado got up to half a meter (18 inches) of snow while up to eight centimeters (three inches) of sleet were reported in Illinois, Kansas and Missouri, Romano said. Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri got 2.5 centimeters (an inch) or more of freezing rain.The storm is gathering moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and cold air from the Arctic, Romano said. It is expected to hit the east coast on Tuesday.

Storm in Sweden kills three Sun Jan 14, 4:53 PM ET

STOCKHOLM (AFP) Three people were killed in southern Sweden in severe storms that disrupted air, rail and road traffic and caused a power cut, the TT news agency quoted police as saying.

The three victims one a nine-year-old boy, the other two motorists, one in his 60s died from falling trees, as meteorologists said winds on the southwest coast reached speeds of up to 144 kilometres (90 miles) per hour.By late afternoon, the storms had left about 270,000 homes without electricity, TT said.The rail authority Banverket said on its Internet site that train traffic in the affected southwestern regions would be suspended until 2300 GMT because of trees blown on to tracks.Road traffic was stopped across the Oresund bridge linking Denmark and Sweden while trains were crossing at reduced speed.The storm also swept into Denmark over the course of the day with falling trees blocking roads, said Danish press agency Ritzau.At the airport in Gothenburg air traffic was partially affected but a spokesman said it was expected to return to normal during the evening.About five or six departures were cancelled ... and some planes preferred to land at other airports, in Oslo or Copenhagen, said spokesman Hans Roennqvist.Late in the day, the storm moved from the west coast towards the east coast and hit the capital Stockholm, although its intensity had weakened.The worst is over... in the evening it will begin to diminish everywhere, said meteorologist Bengt Lindstrom.

National Weather Service: Devastating & Historic Ice Storm Continues Today

POTENTIALLY DEVASTATING AND HISTORIC ICE STORM TO CONTINUE TODAY JAN 14,07
THOUSANDS REMAIN WITHOUT POWER AND LONG TERM POWER OUTAGES ARE LIKELY.AREAS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY FREEZING RAIN ARE AGAIN EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TODAY OVER PORTIONS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA SPREADING INTO EXTREME NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. A WIDE SWATH OF DAMAGING ICE HAS ALREADY OCCURRED ACROSS MUCH OF EAST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND FAR NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. LOCATIONS FROM MCALESTER OKLAHOMA NORTHEAST HROUGH CHECOTAH MUSKOGEE TAHLEQUAH AND GRAVETTE ARKANSAS HAVE ALREADY SUSTAINED SERIOUS DAMAGE DUE TO ICE ACCUMULATIONS. ADDITIONAL ICE ACCUMULATIONS FROM ONE HALF TO ONE INCH WILL CREATE WIDESPREAD TREE AND POWER LINE DAMAGE. THE POWER SUPPLY ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND EXTREME NORTHWEST ARKANSAS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO SUSTAIN HEAVY DAMAGE AND PROLONGED POWER OUTAGES SHOULD BE ANTICIPATED.

TRAVEL MAY BECOME NEAR IMPOSSIBLE LATER TODAY.

PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO BE SLEET MIXED WITH FREEZING RAIN NORTHWEST OF THE PRIMARY ICE BAND WHICH IS GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 44. ADDITIONAL ICE ACCUMULATIONS UP TO ONE QUARTER INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THIS AREA ALONG WITH AN ADDITIONAL INCH OF SLEET ACCUMULATION. THIS INCLUDES THE TULSA METRO AREA. THE FORECAST ACCUMULATIONS COULD STRAIN POWER LINES AND TREES WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES. IN ADDITION.MANY AREA ROADS REMAIN PACKED WITH ICE AND SLEET ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 44 MAKING TRAVEL TREACHEROUS SURFACE TEMPERATURES ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA HAVE REMAINED JUST ABOVE FREEZING WHICH HAS LIMITED ICE ACCUMULATIONS.

THE ICE STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT AS TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY FALL BELOW FREEZING LATER TODAY WITH SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS STILL POSSIBLE THROUGH TONIGHT.STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO HOUSE MANY PEOPLE GIVEN THE LIKELIHOOD OF EXTENDED POWER OUTAGES AND THE VERY COLD TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THROUGH MID WEEK. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WARNING AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.SUPPLEMENTAL HEAT SOURCES WILL BE REQUIRED FOR AREAS WHERE POWER IS INTERRUPTED AND ALL RELEVANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE CLOSELY FOLLOWED. IF YOU DO LOSE HEAT AND POWER DURING THE ICE STORM ONLY USE BURNING DEVICES THAT ARE APPROVED FOR INDOOR USE. MANY PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR DIE FROM FIRE OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence (TERRORISM) through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

More tremors on Comoro Islands after volcano erupts Sun Jan 14, 8:05 AM ET

MORONI (AFP)Seismic tremors have been recorded on the Comoro Islands for the second consecutive day following a volcanic eruption on Mount Karthala.

The latest tremors were felt overnight and in the morning, but there were no reports of casualties or damage on Grande Comore, the main island in the Indian Ocean archipelago.Locals living in Mboude, around eight kilometers (five miles) south of the capital Moroni, told AFP Sunday that they had fled their houses overnight and sought refuge in nearby villages.

Hamid Soule, head of the Karthala observatory, told reporters that the magnitude of the tremors had varied but that the strongest measured at least five on the Richter scale.The government put the islands' residents on red alert on Saturday after the first eruptions within the crater of the volcano, priming the police and army to safeguard the population and property.

There have been a number of scares in recent years after activity within the volcano, which is on the largest of the three islands that make up the Union of the Comoros. A fourth island, Mayotte, is under French rule.In November 2005, Karthala spewed out huge plumes of ash that blanketed Grande Comore and temporarily deprived its 250,000 inhabitants of drinkable water.In April 2005, nearly 10,000 villagers living at the base of the mountain fled their homes after similar emissions of ash started widespread fears of drinking-water contamination.Mount Karthala last had an overflow magma eruption in 1977, when lava destroyed the village of Singani, some 20 kilometres south of Moroni, and toxic gas was released into the air but did not cause any deaths.

Use of new Red Crystal finally allows Israel to join Red Cross JAN 14,07 - By Reuters

GENEVA /The world's largest relief organization, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent movement, on Sunday began using a third emblem whose adoption allowed Israel to join after a decades-long struggle.The red crystal on a white background is an alternative to either the cross or the crescent and is intended to provide protection to relief workers operating in areas of conflict.Both the Israeli Magen David Adom (MDA) and the Palestinian Red Crescent emergency services joined the umbrella relief organization in June 2006, six months after the movement's signatory states and national societies agreed to the new emblem at a specially convened conference.

Israel's MDA had resisted using the cross and crescent because of their links to Christianity and Islam.In return for being allowed to join, Israel had to acknowledge the Palestinian Red Crescent as the internationally recognized emergency service within the occupied territory.Arab states had insisted on this before they would accept a new emblem custom-made for Israel.

The red crystal reaffirms the determination of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to ... enhance its strength and credibility, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said in a joint statement.Its adoption involved a new protocol to the 1949 Geneva Conventions which lay down rules for warfare and the treatment of prisoners and the wounded.So far 84 countries have signed the protocol and nine have ratified it. The emblem automatically came into force six months after being ratified by the second state, which was Switzerland, on July 14, 2006

Israeli minister dismisses idea of NATO troops in Gaza Sun Jan 14, 4:39 AM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh has dismissed a suggestion by a cabinet minister that NATO peacekeeping troops be sent to the volatile Gaza Strip. Until now, I haven't noticed particular enthusiasm from NATO
countries, apart from Turkey, to send contingents to (Palestinian refugee) camps in the Gaza Strip, Sneh told public radio.During a meeting with visiting US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Saturday, Israel's hardline minister for strategic affairs, Avigdor Lieberman, suggested that NATO send up to 30,000 troops to keep order in the increasingly lawless coastal strip.But Sneh said the international force would only contribute to the problems in the impoverished territory, which has been reeling from an international aid freeze and which has been wracked by deadly factional violence over the past month.For Islamist extremists, soldiers with blue
eyes will also be the enemy and will not constitute a solution, but be a part of the problem, Sneh said.Israel withdrew troops and settlers from Gaza in September 2005 after a 38-year occupation, but continues to be an occupying power under international law as it controls borders and, de facto daily life, in the coastal strip.

Militants in Gaza have regularly fired rockets into the Jewish state following the 2005 withdrawal and in late June staged a cross-border raid in which they seized one soldier and killed two others.The raid sparked a massive Israeli offensive in Gaza, which has killed more than 400 Palestinians.Lieberman, the leader of the ultra-national Yisrael Beitenu party, joined the Israeli cabinet in late October as part of a move by beleaguered Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to shore up his shaky governing coalition.

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Knesset Discusses Special Anthem for Arabs
22:10 Jan 14, '07 / 24 Tevet 5767

(IsraelNN.com) The Knesset law Committee Sunday discussed a proposal to provide an alternative to the Hatikvah anthem for Arabs. Several members of the panel said that Arab citizens of Israel cannot be expected to stand proudly and sing words about 2,000 years of being without a Jewish state.However, Knesset Member Matan Vilnai (Labor) said the existence of a Jewish state demands that Arabs accept that as a reality.

Criticism of Iran's leader grows,Conservatives and reformists challenge his nuclear diplomacy By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Sunday, January 14, 2007

TEHRAN, Iran Conservatives and reformists are openly challenging President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's hard-line nuclear diplomacy an unusual agreement across Iran's political spectrum, with many saying his provocative remarks have increasingly
isolated their country.The criticism comes after the U.N. Security Council voted unanimously last month to impose sanctions on Iran for refusing to halt uranium enrichment. Some critics view the sanctions as an indication that Iran must change its policy.

After a year of silence, reformists are demanding that Iran dispel fears that it is seeking to build atomic weapons, pressing for a return to former President Mohammad Khatami's policy of suspending enrichment, a process that can produce the material for either nuclear reactors or bombs.Resisting the U.N. Security Council resolution will put us in a more isolated position, said the Islamic Iran Participation Front, the largest reformist party.Ahmadinejad's popularity already was weakened after his close conservative allies were defeated last month in local elections.Even some conservatives warn his confrontational tactics are backfiring. Your language is so offensive ... that it shows that the nuclear issue is being dealt with a sort of stubbornness, the hard-line daily Jomhuri-e-Eslami said in a recent editorial.Some lawmakers on both sides of the political spectrum are considering impeaching Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki if the Security Council approves more resolutions against Iran.That all 15 members of the Security Council unanimously voted, against the claim by our diplomatic apparatus that there was no unanimity against Iran, shows the weakness of our diplomatic apparatus, said Noureddin Pirmoazzen, a reformist lawmaker.

Despite the criticism, Ahmadinejad has remained defiant, escalating Iran's nuclear standoff with the United States and its allies. He has repeatedly refused to suspend enrichment, even under pressure from its trade allies Russia and China. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, denying allegations from the U.S. and its allies that it is secretly trying to build a bomb.On Saturday, Ahmadinejad met with fellow U.S. critic Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at the start of a Latin America tour his second such visit in four months. Critics say the trip was partly aimed at diverting attention from the disapproval at home. Ahmadinejad also has distanced some of his conservative base by calling for Israel to be wiped off the map and hosting a conference last month that cast doubt on the Holocaust. Many feel he has spent too much time defying the West and too little tackling Iran's domestic issues.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS WILL BE USED.

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.(Christians have new bodies,this is the people against Jerusalem during the 7 yr treaty)(Christians bodies are not being eaten by the birds).

MATTHEW 24:37-51
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Two days after Mahmoud Abbas told Arabs to raise your rifles against Israel, Condoleezza Rice says the U.S. will prevent a repeat of previous attacks on Israel with arms supplied to PA forces. Shooting at your brother is forbidden, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas told a rally in Ramallah.

Raising rifles against the occupation is our legitimate right. He also railed against the sons of Israel...who are corrupting humanity on earth.The United States has been supplying the Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman's personal militia with weapons to give him a military edge over the rival Hamas militia. Terrorists have vowed that the weapons will be used against Israel, as they were in the 1990s when the Israeli government, headed by then-Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin, gave the PA security forces thousands of rifles.

The Jewish State has since allowed other nations to send weapons to the PA, and Israeli intelligence officials have documented their use in attacks against Israel.But U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, talking to reporters en route to Israel, said this time it will be different. This is a train-and-equip program that is going to move over time, so it is not as if you simply arm the Palestinians on Day One and then have no input or control over what happens from then on, she said. I think as a result you can maintain some control on what is being done.Referring to the weapons supplied during the Oslo talks and used against Israel, she explained, It was envisioned that the Palestinian Authority would have security forces. The problem is those security forces broke [up] into essentially personal militias under Arafat. They broke into too many that were often warring with each other.Secretary Rice added that American military envoys have created a plan for security forces that can be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

And this plan is not just to equip them and train them, [but] it is also to professionalize them, to unify them, to put them under a single command. We continue to work on how to help Abu Mazen [Abbas] and how to help the Palestinian people to create governing structures and security forces that can actually secure the Palestinian people. However, Fatah Force 17 security officer Abu Yousef told WorldNetDaily that other terrorist groups will use the weapons. He added that many of the members of Abbas' personal militia also are members of other terrorist organizations, including Hamas.Our organizations are infiltrated [by Hamas]. In the last elections campaign, our Fatah party was astonished at how many of our security members voted for Hamas. We thought our own forces would vote 95 percent vote for us, but it was 70 percent for Fatah and 30 percent for Hamas, Abu Yousef said.Hamas spokesman Abu Oubaida told WorldNetDaily last week that his terror group will obtain any American weapons transferred to Fatah militias or purchased by Fatah using the incoming $86.4 million in U.S. aid. I can confirm 100 percent that this money and purchased weapons will find its way to Hamas, said Abu Oubaida.

Secretary Rice nonetheless remained optimistic in her comments to reporters. The Road Map is a useful document because it does have reciprocal responsibilities, she said. She pointed out that Israel’s implementation of the Road Map has already succeeded in forcing Israel to expel Jewish residents and destroy their communities in the Gaza region. They are out of Gaza. And so I think we want to look at what is still to be achieved, she said. Rice did not, however, mention the responsibilities of the PA, which included its promise to eliminate the terrorist infrastructure and cease incitement against Israel.

Solana: The moment of action has come
The Jerusalem Post - January 14, 2007

United States President George W. Bush may have sent his Secretary of State to the Middle East to try and kick start the dead land-for-peace process, but the European Union is still trying to muscle in on the act.High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the EU, Javier Solana, said Friday the time had come to see action and not just words in the Middle East.

Addressing the concluding session of something called The Madrid + 15 Peace Conference, Solana said it was necessary to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict first before dealing with other issues in the Middle East.In order to do this, outside monitoring would be required and the process would have to be comprehensive.
Like former US president Jimmy Carter, Solana describes himself as a friend of Israel.However, his policy recommendations have without fail betrayed his prejudice towards the Palestinian side.

UN to Promote Responsible Business Practices in New European Union Member States JAN 12,2007

The United Nations, which has consistently pushed for a code of corporate social responsibility in private sector companies, ranging from responsible globalization to promoting human rights and fighting corruption, has launched an initiative to embed such practices in new European Union (EU) member states.Under the $1.36 million project launched with the European Commission, the UN Development Programme (UNDP) will work with enterprises and other stakeholders in eight countries EU members Bulgaria, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland and Slovakia, and candidate countries Croatia, Macedonia, and Turkey.

The project will assist the integration of social and environmental concerns in business operations and in corporate interaction with government, trade unions, business associations and communities on a voluntary basis.The main objective is to accelerate in the new EU region the implementation of CSR (corporate social responsibility) practices, which are seen as a vehicle for EU harmonization, social cohesion and improving competitiveness, UNDP regional project leader and head of office in Lithuania, Lyra Jakuleviciene said.The project, expected to continue until mid-2008, will address both local and foreign enterprises in the eight countries, and will be carried out by UNDP offices in each country, in co-operation with national and regional partners. Business networks in Spain, the United Kingdom and Germany will contribute through exchange of experience and good practices.
