Brain damage for Indonesia flood victim by Nabiha Shahab
Fri Feb 9, 10:38 AM ET

JAKARTA (AFP) - A man in the Indonesian capital has suffered brain damage and cannot speak after being infected by the contaminated flood waters that have inundated the city, reports said. The 61-year-old and another person were diagnosed with leptospirosis or Weil's disease, a bacterial illness usually caught from contact with water contaminated by the urine of infected rats.The case has underlined fears of a disease outbreak in and around Jakarta, where half a million people have been forced out of their homes by the worst flooding here in years. At least 50 people have died.Many people have had no choice but to wade through the filthy waters which swept through the city, and children have been seen swimming in the streets despite the health risk.Sarnata, who uses only one name, was admitted to hospital on Thursday morning in the acute stage of leptospirosis, the official Antara news agency said. His kidneys were damaged and he was losing consciousness.Sarnata has entered the third stage of the disease. He cannot speak because his brain is damaged, the agency quoted Nazir, a doctor at a Jakarta hospital, as saying.

There are three stages of leptospirosis, with early stages showing high fever, muscle pains, red eyes ... the worst will damage the brain and can be irreversible, the doctor said. There was no word on the second person's case.Leptospirosis, which causes high fever and painful joints, is treated with antibiotics. It is rarely fatal, although kidney or liver failure, or meningitis, can result.Hygiene and clean water supplies remain a problem as flood waters begin to recede and people return to tidy up their sodden homes.Water supplies were disrupted after part of Jakarta had its electricity cut for safety reasons when floods began to cover the capital last week, although the situation is slowly returning to normal.The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) said it was setting up equipment in the north of the city capable of supplying 240,000 people with clean drinking water.

Many people have not had access to safe water for a week and we are concerned that the lack of safe water could lead to an outbreak of diseases among children, UNICEF representative Gianfranco Rotigliano said.UNICEF and aid groups were also providing other needed supplies to flood victims.

We are distributing hygiene and food packs to flood victims in Jakarta, Indonesian Red Cross spokeswoman Aswi Nugroho told AFP.On Monday we will start distributing disinfectants and also spray neighbourhoods that are beginning to clean up their environment, she said.The aid group was also helping to supply drinking water to some of the worst-hit areas of Jakarta.Several countries and non-governmental organisations have offered assistance, including former colonial power the Netherlands, the European Union, Australia and the United States.Environment Minister Rachmat Witoelar has blamed the floods on excessive construction on natural drainage areas, but city governor Sutiyoso said it was a cyclical natural phenomenon.

The snow piles up, and the West gets wet Wayne Verno, Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Fri Feb 9, 7:46 AM ET

With low pressure remaining northeast of the Great Lakes, and high pressure situated over the north Plains, the flow of cold air across the eastern Great Lakes will continue to result in a persistent lake effect snow bands over western New York State. This lake effect snow band has been ongoing since the start of the week, and recent repots have indicated that some locations have picked up between 70 and 100 inches of snow. With the lake effect snow band continuing today, it will osculate between Watertown and Syracuse, with some locations seeing snowfall rates of 3 to 5 inches per hour, accompanied by thunder, lightning, and gusty winds. Locally, an additional foot or more will accumulate today. An active weather pattern will remain across the West through the weekend, as a series of weather disturbances continue to pump moisture into the area. The wave of rain impacting California this morning, will spread into the interior Pacific Northwest, with higher elevation snows on the increase. Another disturbance will bring more rain, heavy at times, to central and northern California Saturday, affecting areas from San Francisco, north though Portland and Seattle. Some locations, especially over California, could see an inch or more of rain, while several inches of snow could accumulate in the mountains.

Japan starts disaster-alert system using satellites Fri Feb 9, 3:52 AM ET

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan, one of the world's most seismically active nations, on Friday began an alert system using satellites to instantly transmit warnings of natural disasters, such as tsunami, to speed up evacuations. Tremors occur in Japan at least every five minutes, and the country accounts for about 20 percent of the world's earthquakes of magnitude 6 or higher.Last month, a powerful Pacific earthquake prompted widespread tsunami warnings, although only small waves hit Japan.
The new system, called J-ALERT, will send disaster warnings from the Meteorological Agency via satellite to city and town offices, automatically activating warning sirens and emergency broadcast systems. Until now, local officials have had to activate these systems themselves after receiving warnings.By getting information out more quickly, we'll be able to evacuate faster, saving lives, a Fire Agency official said.

However, in the system's first test on Friday morning, information sent from the agency to a town in western Japan arrived correctly but wasn't broadcast automatically due to a computer software problem. The software was restarted, and a second test succeeded.Initially, the system will operate in 10 prefectures and four towns. The agency hopes to eventually extend it to all local areas, but no timetable has been set.Warnings will be issued for tsunamis and volcanic eruptions along with other extreme weather conditions, and information about earthquake strength will be sent more quickly than before. In future, the agency also hopes to be able to issue warnings of earthquakes just before they occur.In the case of a tsunami warning, loudspeakers will broadcast warnings telling people to evacuate to high ground.From later this summer, the agency plans to include information from the prime minister's office on missile launches or attacks on national territory.But the Fire Agency official added that even the best warning system was useless if people did not obey it.Only a small number of people evacuated after last month's tsunami warning, which was prompted by an 8.2 magnitude earthquake in the northern Pacific.We can make sending the warnings faster, but getting people to evacuate is a separate problem, the official said.If they don't understand and heed the warnings, the system is meaningless.

Now the scriptures that a week in Israel history is 7YEARS. (7 YR TRIBULATION)

Heres the scripture 1 week = 7 yrs Genesis 29:27-29
27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

Isn"t this interesting it comes from the same Person whos name was changed to Israel,(JACOB) and Israel and Jerusalem is the places dealt with in Daniel 9:24-27.

GENESIS 32:27-28
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

DANIEL 9:24-27
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people (ISRAEL) and upon thy holy city,(JERUSALEM) to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks,(7X7=49 YRS) and threescore and two weeks:(62X7=434 YRS) the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come (ROMANS IN AD 70) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;(TEMPLE) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (69x7=483 YRS TO THIS POINT, THE FINAL 7 YR TREATY IS IN THE NEXT VERSE TO FULFILL THE 490 YEARS OF DANIELS PROPHECY.

Violence erupts at Jerusalem holy site By DALIA NAMMARI, Associated Press Writer FEB 09,07

JERUSALEM - Anger over Israeli construction to repair a damaged ramp near a disputed Jerusalem holy site erupted into violence Friday as police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse thousands of rioting Muslims. Protests spread across the Arab world, with demonstrators accusing Israel of plotting to harm Islamic shrines. Israeli officials accused Palestinians of distorting the project to rally their fractious population against the Jewish state. They insist that the replacement of the ramp, which was damaged in a 2004 snowstorm, would not harm the holy site about 200 feet away.We have nothing to hide and yet extremist elements with a hateful agenda have cynically provoked violence by deliberately spreading mistruths about what we're doing," Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said.Known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount, the compound has repeatedly been a flashpoint for violence between Israel and the Palestinians, and there were fears the unrest could spread.The compound is home to the golden-capped Dome of the Rock shrine and Al Aqsa mosque and is believed to be the site where the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven. Jews venerate the compound as the site of their biblical temples, and one of its outer walls known as the Western Wall is the holiest site in Judaism.

Small protests against the renovation began as soon as work started this week. They became violent after Friday prayers, when Muslims at the compound began throwing rocks at police stationed outside, according to Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben Ruby.About 200 riot police streamed onto the compound, scuffling with some of the 3,000 Muslim worshippers. Clouds of tear gas rose up at the holy site, and stun grenades set off sharp booms.Outside the compound, near Lion's Gate, hundreds of teenagers who had been barred from the mosque hurled stones, iron bars, vegetables and at least one firebomb at police, authorities said. Police responded with stun grenades.Jewish worshippers were evacuated from the Western Wall plaza at the foot of the compound as a precaution.The situation grew especially volatile when 150 protesters barricaded themselves inside Al Aqsa. But police did not enter the mosque, and the protesters began leaving 90 minutes later, following negotiations between police and Muslim representatives.The melee slightly injured 17 protesters and 19 police officers, and 17 rioters were arrested, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. Officers shut all the gates leading to the complex, and disconnected loudspeakers that they said were used to incite worshippers.

Three hours after the initial clash, police and demonstrators still played cat and mouse in the narrow alleyways and on the rooftops of the nearby Old City.But in other areas of the Old City, the scene was calm. Ten pilgrims speaking Russian and carrying wooden crosses walked down the Via Dolorosa, the path Christians believe Jesus took to his crucifixion.There is no justification for what they did today, and we think it was pre-orchestrated to bring fears to the spirits of the worshippers angry about the Israeli dig, said Adnan Husseini, chairman of the Waqf, the Muslim trust that oversees the shrine.In the West Bank, youths hurled stones at Israeli security forces at a major checkpoint leading into Jerusalem and near the town of Qalqiliya. South of the town of Bethlehem, Israeli troops fired rubber bullets at Palestinians rioting over the work at the holy site, slightly wounding three. No clashes erupted in a demonstration in the West Bank town of Hebron.And in the northern Israeli town of Nazareth, about 5,000 Israeli Arabs marched to oppose the work at the mosque.

In Egypt, thousands of anti-riot police beat and chased dozens of protesters into side alleys and streets to prevent them staging a mass demonstration at Al-Azhar Mosque following Friday prayers. Witnesses said dozens of protesters were detained.Hundreds of Palestinians staged a sit-in at the Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp in southern Lebanon, carrying pictures of Al Aqsa and chanting anti-Israeli slogans. Hundreds of Islamic fundamentalists also protested in the Lebanese port city of Sidon, while 3,000 Palestinians chanted anti-Israel slogans during a march in Syria's Yarmouk refugee camp. In Jordan, about 2,000 worshippers marched in protest after Friday prayers, calling for the government to close down the Israeli Embassy in Amman and send its ambassador home. Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, appealed to Israel to stop the work on the ramp. It has potential to disturb the most respected mosque for Muslims all over the world, said Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda. We urge Israel to stop its archaeological excavation works around the holy Al Aqsa mosque.Mohammed Hussein, the mufti of Jerusalem, blamed Israel for the violence Friday. I don't know what impact this aggression will have on the Palestinian territories, but past experience has shown that every time there were clashes at the mosque, it engulfed the other parts of the West Bank and Gaza, he said by telephone from inside the compound.

When Israel opened a tunnel alongside the compound in 1996, it touched off clashes that killed 80 people. In 2000, when then-opposition leader Ariel Sharon visited the site, the ensuing riots were followed by years of violence. AP reporters Dalia Nammari in Jerusalem, Ben Curtis in Cairo, Egypt, Shafika Mattar in Amman, Jordan, and Zeina Karam in Beirut, Lebanon, contributed to this report.

Palestinians celebrate Mecca agreement By SARAH EL DEEB, Associated Press Writer Fri Feb 9, 12:41 PM ET

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Gazans rejoiced in the streets to celebrate a Hamas-Fatah power-sharing deal they hope will avert civil war, but Palestinian officials preached patience Friday, saying implementing the agreement would be a challenge. The agreement received a muted response from American and European officials, who said it was too early to decide whether to lift the crippling international sanctions on the Hamas-led government.The rivalry between Hamas and Fatah began last year when Hamas won parliamentary elections and formed a Cabinet, splitting power with President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah. The friction between the two groups paralyzed the government and eventually exploded into fighting that killed more than 130 Palestinians.The two sides have tried unsuccessfully for months to reach a deal amid the violence. The success conclusion of an agreement in Saudi Arabia on Thursday sparked elation among people in Gaza.We have left behind all those black days forever and started a new page on a new government and a new way in Palestine, Abbas said.

Celebratory gunfire could be heard in several parts of Gaza City and fireworks lit up the sky. Some drivers flew both green Hamas flags and yellow Fatah banners from their cars.For four or five days we've been holding our breath. God willing, this is a permanent agreement, not a temporary truce, said Mahmoud Qassam, 27, a fish vendor in Gaza City. We hope this will lead to lifting the siege, a reference to the economic sanctions.The West demanded that Hamas recognize Israel's right to exist, accept past peace agreements with the Jewish state and renounce violence in order to escape the sanctions.Hamas has refused those demands. The platform of the coalition government agreed to on Thursday says only that the government pledges to respect" previous deals, instead of committing to them, as Abbas initially demanded. It makes no reference to recognizing Israel or renouncing violence, and it remains unclear whether the U.S. and Israel will be ready to deal with the new coalition.

U.S. and Israeli acceptance is crucial to the deal's success. Unless they are convinced Hamas has sufficiently moderated, the West is unlikely to lift the sanctions, and it will be difficult to advance the peace process.Deputy White House press secretary Dana Perino thanked Saudi King Abdullah for bringing the parties together but said we have not actually seen the agreement.Clearly the violence ... has served no one and, in fact, it's only served to kill many innocent people. And so we hope that the violence that has ebbed, that that will hold off. And then when we get a chance to look at the agreement in more detail, then we'll be able to say more at that point, Perino said.The Quartet of Middle East negotiators — including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and top European Union officials — held a conference call Friday to discuss the agreement, the EU said.EU spokeswoman Emma Udwin said all parties agreed that there was a need to take the time to consider, to see what the agreement is and how it is going to be implemented, before deciding on lifting the embargo.

Israeli government spokeswoman Miri Eisin reiterated the international community's conditions, but did not make clear whether the deal would satisfy Israel. Israel would not have a more authoritative response before its weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday, she said.Israeli Cabinet Minister Isaac Herzog told Army Radio that the government would read the agreement with a magnifying glass to see whether it met the international conditions.British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett on Friday welcomed the ongoing efforts to end the violence but also said Britain would need to study these proposals carefully and discuss them with our European and other partners.At stake is roughly $1 billion a year in frozen aid from foreign donors in addition to approximately $500 million in withheld tax revenues collected by Israel on behalf of the Palestinians. The embargo has crippled the Palestinian government's ability to function, though the West and Israel have funneled millions of dollars through Abbas' office to prevent a complete collapse of the government.

French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said in Paris that inclusion of the term respect ... is a step in the right direction, toward full adherence to the demands of the international community that we hold dear, including in particular the recognition of Israel.Ahmed Youssef, a political adviser to Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, said Saudi Arabia had promised the Palestinians $1 billion in aid — which would mitigate the effects of the embargo — but the donation could not be confirmed. Many Arab governments have failed to meet previous pledges of aid to the Palestinians. Under the deal signed in the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, Haniyeh will remain prime minister and Hamas will get a total of nine portfolios, compared to six for Fatah. Nine other Cabinet posts will go to independents and smaller factions. The vital post of interior minister, which would control the security forces, is to go to an independent, because Hamas and Fatah were each reluctant to see the other faction hold the ministry. Young men danced to the beat of drums, carrying each other on their shoulders.

Today is a feast, Maysra Balawi, 24, said late Thursday as he tried to steer his car through jammed streets. It is the first happy protest I have seen in Gaza.Hamas lawmaker Mushir al-Masri, speaking from Gaza, cautioned patience in celebrating the agreement. It will be a great challenge to translate the agreement into reality on the ground and to prevent those seeking to spoil the Palestinian unity, he said, without elaborating. Signaling that thorny issues remain unresolved, al-Masri said a Hamas militia that has repeatedly clashed with security forces will not be disbanded.

Canada finds no pathogenic flu in wild birds Fri Feb 9, 11:36 AM ET

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's second annual wild bird survey for avian influenza has concluded with no findings of highly pathogenic strains of bird flu, including the Asian strain of H5N1, the government announced on Friday. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said it had tested more than 12,000 birds, migratory and resident, live and dead, across Canada. Additional sampling was conducted in Iceland, where North American and European birds mingle, it said.Similar to the 2005 results, the 2006 survey found various avian influenza subtypes, including H5 subtypes. Finding bird flu viruses in wild birds is not unexpected, as these commonly circulate with little or no impact on the health of the birds or other species, it said.
