Atlantic provinces battered by snow, high winds
Sun Mar 2, 11:07 PM

PRINCE.EDWARD.ISLAND (CBC) - A winter storm caused whiteout conditions across much of Prince Edward Island and parts of New Brunswick, and was expected to move across western Newfoundland on Sunday evening.High winds and whiteout conditions were reported across most of Prince Edward Island.Snowplows were ordered off the roads in P.E.I.'s Prince County as blowing snow made it nearly impossible for drivers to navigate safely.Plow operators in Queens and Kings counties were also keeping an eye on the storm in case they, too, had to pull their vehicles off the road. Only the main roads in those counties were being plowed.It looks like we're not going to see much improvement until at least midnight tonight and throughout the early hours until tomorrow [Monday] morning, said Brian Ellis, a dispatcher for P.E.I.'s Department of Transportation.

Confederation Bridge was closed to traffic, and anyone attempting to drive in Prince Edward Island was being urged to use extreme caution.The airport in Charlottetown remained open, with only a few delays and cancellations, but travellers were advised to call ahead to check on the status of their flights.In New Brunswick, a stretch of Highway 2 that runs along the Tantramar Marsh was closed because of the storm. RCMP were asking drivers to stay off the roads everywhere in the province.The Trans-Canada Highway from Sackville to Amherst was also closed until further notice, due to poor road conditions.Winter weather in Nova Scotia was causing some difficulty for drivers.Road conditions were particularly bad along Highways 101 and 103 outside of Halifax, which were described as snow-covered and passable with caution.Officials warned that some parts of Highway 104 near Amherst may be difficult to navigate.The storm was expected to move across western Newfoundland and Labrador late Sunday. The hardest-hit region will be southeastern Labrador, where up to 40 centimetres of snow are expected by Monday afternoon.

About 15 centimetres are predicted to fall on the Northern Peninsula.With files from the Canadian Press

Snow, tornadoes hit southern Plains By MURRAY EVANS, Associated Press Writer Mon Mar 3, 5:54 PM ET

OKLAHOMA CITY - Snow fell across parts of Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle on Monday, part of a storm system that produced at least two weekend tornadoes and hail as big as softballs. The National Weather Service posted a snow and blowing snow advisory for parts of Oklahoma and a winter storm warning for sections of Arkansas, where 3 to 6 inches of snow was possible. In the Texas Panhandle, ice and snow covered local roads in western areas of the Panhandle but no problems were reported.Up to 4 inches of rain had fallen by midday Monday in parts of Arkansas, the weather service said. Winds gusted as high as 61 mph in southwest Oklahoma, according to the Oklahoma Mesonet, a network of weather monitoring stations.A cold front triggered damaging winds in the northeastern corner of Texas and a chance for rare snow in the Dallas-Fort Worth area Monday.

Tornado warnings were posted in Bowie County, where strong winds downed trees and damaged property. In Hooks, about 160 miles northeast of Dallas, there were reports of damage but no injuries, said Police Chief Keith Schutte.On Sunday, two tornadoes were spotted in rural areas of northwestern Oklahoma. Television footage showed one twister passing the communities of Carleton and Southard in northern Blaine County.No fatalities or severe damage were reported, but downed power lines caused scattered blackouts. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said one highway near the Kansas state line that was closed because of fallen power lines had been reopened early Monday.Sunday's storm system also produced wind gusting up to 70 mph, lightning and hail as large as softballs that caused scattered damage, said weather service meteorologist Chris Sohl in Norman.Such a storm system is not all that odd, but this early in March sometimes it's a trick to get enough moisture up here for (atmospheric) instability, Sohl said.The stormy weather formed along a cold front stretching across the middle of the nation. Radar showed rain falling along the front from Texas to Michigan on Monday morning with snow in parts of Michigan and Wisconsin.

WHAT ON EARTH ARE THESE JEWS THINKING. WANTING THE PHILISTINE ARABS TO HAVE THEIR OWN STATE....SICKKKKKKK.

FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU U.S. Jews give Palestinian state endorsement Orthodox Union abstains in vote on suggested Middle East solution March 03, 2008 10:05 pm Eastern By Aaron Klein
2008 WorldNetDaily

JERUSALEM – The Jewish Council for Public Affairs, a coalition of major mainstream U.S. Jewish organizations, has for the first time given endorsement to a Palestinian state.But the firestorm of nationalist Jewish outrage on the Internet has targeted the Orthodox Union, or O.U., one of the largest U.S. Orthodox Jewish organizations representing hundreds of Orthodox synagogues, which abstained and did not vote against a successful resolution calling for a two state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Surveys have consistently demonstrated American Orthodox Jews oppose a Palestinian state.It is an outrage Jewish organizations would support a Palestinian state and it's a shock the O.U .would abstain, Mort Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, told WND.When the Palestinian Authority refuses to arrest terrorists, engages in and glorifies murder against Jews, and puts out maps showing all of Israel is Palestine surrounded by rifles, it becomes clear any Palestinian state will be a terrorist state which will greatly harm Israel, Klein said.At a vote last week during its annual meetings, the JCPA resolved the organized American Jewish community should affirm its support for two independent, democratic and economically viable states – the Jewish state of Israel and a state of Palestine – living side-by-side in peace and security.The resolution recognized American Jewry's diverse views about current and future policies of the Israeli government towards settlements, and blamed the standstill in the peace process on Palestinian intransigence.The Council is an umbrella of 14 major national Jewish groups and 125 local Jewish community relations councils. Among the groups represented by the council are such giants as the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, Anti-Defamation League , National Council of Bnai Brith, Hadassah, the National Conference on Soviet Jewry and Hillel, the largest Jewish university outreach group.

The O.U. was recipient of the most criticism for abstaining during the vote in which all other groups voted in favor. According to a source at the organization, e-mails have been pouring in from outraged Orthodox Jews.In a widely circulated e-mail, Pessach Aceman, a Canadian immigrant to Israel and a diarist for the BBC website, lambasted the Orthodox group as a terror supporting organization through your silence.What total hypocrisy this is, wrote Acement. What this goes to show is that politics and funding rule the airwaves which makes your efforts totally hypocritical.Ted Belman, who runs the Israpundit blog, posted, To my mind this resolution is very detrimental as it makes it harder for alternates to be forwarded. By endorsing this resolution are the O.U. and the others saying they support a two state solution regardless if it necessitates the division of Jerusalem? In an official clarification, the O.U. released a statement that while it abstained from the final vote endorsing a Palestinian state, the group still managed to insert into the resolution's text a statement explaining Israel's repeated offers to establish a Palestinian state have been met, time after time, by violence, incitement and terror.The organization also successfully vetoed a clause that would have stated the American Jewish community views the establishment or expansion of Israeli communities in the West Bank as an impediment to peace.Nadia Matar, director of Woman in Green, a nationalist activist group in Israel, wrote in a widely circulated e-mail the O.U.'s clarifications are not enough.So now, after the O.U.'s clarification, we ask the one million dollar question: Why is the O.U. still part of the JCPA? Where is the O.U.'s outrage?

Matar wrote.Asked by WND whether the O.U. supports a Palestinian state, the organization's executive vice president, Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, answered simply no.Weinreb said his group abstained from the vote rather than vote against the resolution for procedural reasons.David Luchins, an O.U. officer who represented the organization during the vote, said abstaining gives the O.U. more of a platform afterwards to explain to everyone why we abstained from the vote.Rabbi Pessach Lerner, executive vice president of the National Council of Young Israel, another major Orthodox group representing hundreds of synagogues, said his organization, which is not part of the JCPA, opposes a Palestinian state, as do most Orthodox Jews.What two state solution? We just need just to look out the window and see the Qassams and Grad rockets and bullets flying. We need to read the papers and listen to the radio. There is a war going on. Now is the time to discuss defense, to guarantee security to the citizens of Israel, said Lerner.The only solution that we should be thinking of is security, quiet and the ability to live like normal human beings – without the concern of being shot at, Lerner said.

Rice, confident of Mideast progress, lashes Hamas MAR 3,08

BRUSSELS (AFP) - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Monday stressed her confidence in the chances of success for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process launched in November at Annapolis, blaming Hamas for the recent burst of violence in the Middle East.
I continue to believe that they can get to a deal by the end of the year, Rice said in the plane taking her to Cairo, the first leg of a new Middle East tour.The Annapolis process is hardly underway. We are three months in, Rice told journalists accompanying her before making a stopover in Brussels.The secretary of state refrained for criticizing Israel over its Operation Hot Winter which claimed dozens of Palestinian lives in the space of two days in the Gaza Strip, including women and children, noting that the onslaught was in self defence.I am going to have discussions with the Egyptians, with the Palestinians and with the Israelis about how you might get violence to stop. But first and foremost Hamas needs to stop firing rockets into Israeli cities, she said referring to the ruling Islamist group in the Gaza Strip.

Obviously the situation in Gaza is one that is concerning, Rice went on. But ... we need to continue to work, first of all to make certain that everyone understands that Hamas is doing what might be expected, which is using attacks, rocket attacks on Israel to try to arrest a peace process in which they have nothing to gain.She called on the Israelis, however, to allow the resumption of humanitarian aid into Gaza, saying: One, again, has to think in carrying out military operations, about the day after.

Palestinians call drones a deadly weapon By IBRAHIM BARZAK and ARON HELLER, Associated Press Writers Mon Mar 3, 7:22 PM ET

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Palestinians say they know when an Israeli drone is in the air: Cell phones stop working, TV reception falters and they can hear a distant buzzing. They also know what's likely to come next — a devastating explosion on the ground. Palestinians say Israel's pilotless planes have been a major weapon in its latest offensive in Gaza, which has killed nearly 120 people since last week.Our experience is that the drone missile is successful in hitting its targets, and it's deadly, said Dr. Mahmoud Assali, a Palestinian physician who works in the emergency room of a northern Gaza Strip hospital that has often treated Palestinian gunmen hit by Israeli drones.The drone has a zone of around 15 meters (50 feet) where it decimates everything. It targets people and leaves them in pieces, Assali said.Israel is at the forefront of the drone technology that is increasingly being used in hotspots around the world. The unmanned craft provide a deadly and cost-effective alternative for armies to target enemies, without risking their own pilots' lives and reducing civilian casualties in heavily populated areas.

The unmanned craft are guided by remote control from the ground. Because of their small size and relatively low speed, their low-yield missiles can be aimed precisely.The use of drones is shrouded in secrecy, and Israeli defense officials refuse to comment publicly on whether they are being used in airstrikes in Gaza. However, Israeli officers in private conversations have confirmed use of the weapons.Wary Gaza militants using binoculars are on constant lookout for drones. When one is sighted overhead, the militants report via walkie-talkie to their comrades, warning them to turn off their cell phones and remove the batteries for fear the Israeli technology will trace their whereabouts.A militant from the southern Gaza Strip who belongs to the Islamic Jihad group said drones were mostly used to target individuals, and not structures. He said they often hovered at much higher altitudes than manned aircraft and their missiles were frequently more destructive, leaving deep gashes where they landed.The militant said the drones usually targeted slow-moving targets, like people walking, or cars slowing down to avoid potholes in a road.

It looks like it makes small circles in the sky, but before it's about to fire a missile, it slows down, the militant said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he feared being identified by Israel. It's not like any other plane. You don't see the missile leaving, it's very quiet.Damian Kemp, an aviation desk editor at Jane's Defence Weekly, said Israel is probably the first country in the world to use unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, for both surveillance and to fire missiles. Israel is a world leader in the field and capable of doing everything from the very small to the very large, he said.He said drones were likely more accurate, cost-effective and safer than manned F-16 fighter jets and Apache helicopters.The key thing in a UAV is it does missions that are dull, dirty and dangerous, Kemp said. They can be up there for a long time and in areas where you don't need to put a pilot at risk.

Jaber Wishah, deputy director of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, said his group has received reports about drones firing missiles for more than three years.The kind of missile — from the shrapnel we've gathered — appears to be small, Wishah said. But do we have documentation, photographs of a drone? We don't.Israel has long been considered the world leader in drone technology and proudly exhibits its products at international air shows. But it maintains its drones are for surveillance purposes, and refuses to confirm using them in airstrikes.Doron Suslik, a top official at the Israel Aerospace Industries, which manufactures drones, said the company has customers from all over the world, including Switzerland, France and India, with annual sales of $500 million to $600 million. He refused to divulge the drone's military capabilities, citing his clients' desire for confidentiality. Government and army officials also refused to comment on the drone's firing capabilities. Israel has used unmanned aircraft since the early 1970s, and its fleet has steadily increased. Air force officials say drones have become such an integral part of Israel's air power that their flight hours now outnumber those of manned fighter planes. Last March, Israel unveiled its largest unmanned aircraft to date at a seaside air force base in central Israel. The Heron, with a 54-foot wingspan, can fly for up to 30 hours at a speed of 140 mph and a height of 30,000 feet. Kemp of Jane's Defence Weekly, said a newer version, the Heron TP, was unveiled in June in Paris. With a wingspan of 85 feet, it can fly for as long as 36 hours and carry a maximum payload of 2,200 pounds. The U.S. Army has used drones such as the MQ-1 Predator and the MQ-9 Reaper for airstrikes against al-Qaida commanders and other militants in Afghanistan and Iraq. U.S. drones have also reportedly killed militants in Pakistan and Yemen.

U.S.-made Predators are a common sight in the skies of Baghdad, equipped with cameras, sensors and radar that can capture video and still images. The U.S. Air Force operates a fleet of roughly 100 Predators. The CIA also uses the aircraft and was closely involved in its development. It provides almost real-time, full-motion video and is remotely piloted — Air Force pilots control and operate the aircraft in Iraq and Afghanistan from Creech Air Force Base near Las Vegas. The Reaper is four times heavier than the Predator, can fly twice as fast and twice as high. In January, a missile fired from a Predator killed Abu Laith al-Libi, a top al-Qaida commander, in Pakistan's lawless tribal region of north Waziristan. Coalition forces in Afghanistan are believed to have launched a number of missile strikes from drones against Taliban and al-Qaida militants hiding on the Pakistani side of the border, but the U.S. military has never confirmed them. AP writer Aron Heller reported from Jerusalem. AP writer Diaa Hadid in Jerusalem also contributed to this report.

Chinese yellow sand hits Japan, SKorea: officials
Mon Mar 3, 1:31 AM

SEOUL (AFP) - Hazardous yellow sand from China covered parts of South Korea and Japan on Monday, keeping people indoors as Tokyo pressed Beijing to reveal more information to the public.Schools were closed as the dust blanketed southern parts of the Korean peninsula, while Japan advised people to be cautious and predicted the dust would continue for another day.Yellow dust -- fine sand from Mongolia's Gobi Desert which sometimes includes toxic chemical smog emitted by Chinese factories -- usually hits South Korea and Japan in the spring. It can cause respiratory disorders.In Tokyo, Environment Minister Ichiro Kamoshita recently called on Beijing to disclose data on the yellow sand.About yellow sand, I am not quite sure how and why it can be regarded as a national secret, Kamoshita told a press conference last month.Air is connected beyond national borders, and yellow sand travels beyond borders. I think it is important we share information, he said.Japan, China and South Korea have began joint research on the phenomenon. Japan's environment ministry recently began posting observation data and forecasts for dust waves on the Internet.But according to Japan, China has refused to release its own data and has insisted that any joint findings be kept from the public.

In South Korea, nursery and elementary schools were shut down along the southern coast including in the country's second largest city of Busan.Weather officials said the dust had blanketed much of South Korea and expected the yellow storm blanket would sweep the peninsula more often this year than in the past.Dust and sand will also hit most of Japan until Tuesday except for the northernmost regions, the meteorological agency said.By Monday, the sand already swept over the southern regions of Okinawa and Kyushu, where the dust could be seen on vehicles and on laundry out to dry.Small businesses put plastic covering on their storefronts to avoid damage to their products, television footage showed.Motorists were advised to exercise caution in southern Japanese cities including Kumamoto and Nagasaki, where visibility fell below five kilometres (three miles).
