3 tornadoes rip through Va.; more than 200 people hurt By SONJA BARISIC, Associated Press Writer APR 29,08

SUFFOLK, Va. - Officials say search-and-rescue operations following three destructive tornadoes in southeast Virginia have not uncovered any dead or additional injured. Suffolk Fire Chief Mark Outlaw told a news conference Tuesday that teams with search dogs found nothing more than torn up lumber and torn up houses.The storms on Monday resulted in more than 200 injuries but no deaths.

Gov. Timothy Kaine says the tornadoes caused very, very serious devastation. But Kaine told WTOP Radio in Washington that it's kind of amazing there were not more significant injuries.Kaine was to tour the area later Tuesday.

Tornadoes hit Virginia, 200 injured
Mon Apr 28, 11:05 PM

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Three tornadoes swept through central and southeastern Virginia on Monday, injuring about 200 people and damaging dozens of homes and businesses, officials said.The city of Suffolk in the southeastern part of the state was hardest hit by the late afternoon storms, said Virginia Department of Emergency Management spokeswoman Laura Southard. She said earlier reports of a fatality in linked to the severe weather were incorrect.Injuries and damage were also reported in Colonial Heights in central Virginia, Southard said.The National Weather Service (NWS) said three confirmed tornadoes plowed through the region.One of the tornadoes hit the Lawrenceville area in Brunswick County, said NWS meteorologist Brian Hurley. The second tornado developed to the north of Colonial Heights ... The other more significant tornado occurred in the city of Suffolk.Television pictures showed extensive property damage -- flattened homes, and lawns and streets covered in piles of debris and toppled trees.There are trees down everywhere and I've seen a half-dozen vehicles flipped over, Richard Hicks of Suffolk told the Virginian-Pilot newspaper.Another witness in Suffolk, Robert Brinkley, told the newspaper: There are tops blown off the roofs of many, many houses.More than 3,000 Dominion Virginia Power customers were without service, most in scattered outages throughout the southeastern part of the state, the newspaper said.Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine declared a statewide emergency to coordinate the state's response to what his office said was widespread damage in the wake of storms.

N.B. premier says governments will help should flooding cause major damage By The Canadian Press APR 29,08

FREDERICTON - Officials in New Brunswick remain on emergency footing with a forecast of rain expected to swell the flood-prone St. John River this week. Premier Shawn Graham says government help will be available in the event of major flood damage, if the province declares a natural disaster. There are a number of programs that (would) kick into effect in partnership with the federal government under the disaster assistance program, Graham said in an interview Monday night. Graham also praised provincial officials for their work so far. The Department of Public Safety has done a tremendous job, putting in place support groups and resources and command centres around the province where flooding is being expected.Meanwhile, more than 100 people in some low-lying areas have already left their homes voluntarily. Significant flooding is expected in areas like Maugerville and Sheffield with river levels expected to rise another 20 to 40 centimetres by Thursday. A number of roads remain under water and are closed to larger vehicles. Andy Morton, deputy director of the province's EMO, said Monday that rain forecast to begin today will likely have a significant effect on the river. There will be an increase on Wednesday and probably a further increase on Thursday and maybe even into Friday, said Morton. A lot will depend on what actual rainfall occurs. Obviously, at this point we're working off forecasted rainfall amounts.The flooding - caused by melting snow and rain - is an annual event and Morton expected a lot of people would stay in their homes despite the high water. Anybody who chooses to stay in their home should be prepared for at least a week in terms of things like drinking water, food, medications or any prescription products, and be prepared to last it out, he said.

Battle against stubborn California wildfire enters 4th day APR 29,08

SIERRA MADRE, Calif. - Firefighters battling a stubborn wildfire northeast of Los Angeles were expecting help Tuesday from cooler temperatures and calmer winds. As the dramatic blaze entered its fourth day, most of the more than 1,000 people evacuated from their homes at the foot of the rugged San Gabriel Mountains have been allowed to return. On Tuesday, public schools in the community of about 11,000 residents were scheduled to reopen.The 538-acre blaze burned dangerously close to homes early Monday, but firefighters stood their ground and turned the flames back.No homes have been lost in the blaze in the foothill suburb of Sierra Madre, 15 miles northeast of Los Angeles. The fire was 21 percent contained Monday.

Helicopters and airplanes bombarded the fire with water and retardant drops Monday while firefighters labored in temperatures in the 90s. Nearly 700 firefighters were on the lines.Temperatures were expected to reach the mid 70s Tuesday, with high humidity and little wind.Four firefighters had minor injuries — a bee sting, a strained knee, and two cases of heat exhaustion, authorities said. A small outbuilding was destroyed.The cause of the blaze remained under investigation.The fire broke out Saturday afternoon in a popular hiking area as unseasonable extreme heat and low humidity set in over Southern California. By late that night it was a bright orange line descending like slow-moving lava down the steep mountainside, triggering evacuations along the interface between the city and wilderness.

Stocks edge lower with investors wary of consumer data, Fed By JOE BEL BRUNO, AP Business Writer APR 29,08

NEW YORK - Stocks edged lower in early trading Tuesday ahead of a report that's expected to show another decline in consumer confidence this month. The Conference Board releases its April survey of consumer confidence at 10 a.m. EDT. The consensus estimate of Wall Street economists surveyed by Thomson/IFR is that the research group's index of consumer confidence fell to 62 from March's 64.5 amid rising prices for energy and food. In March, the index, which is approaching a five-year low, fell nearly 12 points from February.Wall Street remains worried that inflation could accelerate and curtail consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the U.S. economy. That's also of paramount concern for the Federal Reserve, which begins a two-day policy meeting Tuesday afternoon.The Fed is expected to cut interest rates by a quarter point on Wednesday, but then hold firm for the remainder of the year. The Fed is facing a difficult juggling act of trying to shore up the faltering economy without triggering inflation.The Dow Jones industrial average fell 5.21, or 0.04 percent, to 12,866.54.Broader markets were narrowly lower. The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 2.02, or 0.14 percent, to 1,394.35; and the Nasdaq composite index fell 3.97, or 0.16 percent, to 2,420.43.On Monday, Wall Street finished narrowly mixed on light volume as investors were unwilling to take big bets ahead of the Fed decision. The same kind of trading environment was expected during Tuesday's session.

Bond prices rose. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.81 percent from 3.82 percent late Monday.Oil prices fell amid expectations that a supply disruption in Britain would soon be resolved and as the U.S. dollar strengthened further against the euro. Light, sweet crude for June delivery fell $2.65 to $116.10 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.In corporate news, MasterCard Inc. spiked $17.37, or 7.2 percent, to $260.00 after the company reported profit more than doubled in the first quarter. The company said more customers overseas used their credit and debit cards for purchases, though spending within the U.S. rose at a moderate pace.However, rival Visa Inc. sunk $3.05, or 3.9 percent, to $72.55 after it reported late Monday that first-quarter profit rose 28 percent. However, shares plunged in electronic trading amid concern that the world's biggest credit card processor will have a difficult time managing choppy U.S. economic conditions.There was also further anxiety about the global credit crisis' impact on financial institutions. Deutsche Bank AG said Tuesday it wrote down $4.2 billion in leveraged loans, commercial real estate and mortgage-backed securities, during the first quarter, pushing Germany's biggest bank to its first quarterly loss since 2003 amid trading losses, lower revenue and global market jitters.The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 2.23, or 0.31 percent, to 723.14.Declining issues surpassed advancers by 4 to 3 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 61.2 million.Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average rose 0.22 percent. In morning trading, Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.16 percent, Germany's DAX index fell 0.50 percent, and France's CAC-40 shed 0.26 percent.On the Net:New York Stock Exchange: http://www.nyse.com Nasdaq Stock Market: http://www.nasdaq.com

Palestinian groups want truce to include West Bank By Alaa Shahine APR 29,08

CAIRO (Reuters) - Several Palestinian groups said on Tuesday a possible truce with Israel must include all Palestinian territories simultaneously, opposing a Hamas suggestion that it start in the Gaza Strip. Any reasonable Palestinian should assume that this is essential, Abou Adnan al-Baba, a member of the central command of the Popular Resistance Committees, said in Cairo before a meeting between the groups and Egyptian intelligence officials to reach a Palestinian consensus on the ceasefire proposal.Egypt invited the groups for talks after Hamas, the Islamist group that controls the Gaza Strip, proposed a six-month truce between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza, with an option to extend it to Palestinians in the West Bank.Hamas, which was not at Tuesday's meeting, said the ceasefire would also include an end to the Israeli-led blockade of the coastal strip.Israel has dismissed the proposal as a Hamas ploy to gain time and prepare for more fighting.The truce proposal emerged from several rounds of talks between Egypt and Hamas, with the blessing of the United States, which calls Hamas a terrorist group.

The failure of Palestinians to reach common ground or Israeli rejection of the truce would complicate Egyptian efforts to end violence in the Gaza Strip.The talks in Cairo were overshadowed by the killing of six Palestinians, including four children and their mother, as they were having breakfast on Monday in the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun.Israel said the deaths were tragic and occurred when an aircraft fired at two Palestinian militants carrying munitions, which exploded and destroyed the home of the family.Maher al-Tahir, politburo member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, told Reuters his group doubted any truce with Israel was viable.Israel launches aggressions against the Palestinian people every day and has not committed to any truce, he said.Hamas said several Palestinian factions, including Islamic Jihad and leftist groups based in Syria, had preliminarily approved the offer.But Ramzi Rabah, a senior member of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said starting the truce only in the Gaza Strip would leave the West Bank prey to settlement activities and aggressions.Israel pulled troops and settlers out of the Gaza Strip in 2005 but still controls its borders and has tightened its restrictions since Hamas seized control there last year.

Sarkozy flies to Tunisia to push business, Mediterranean Union Posted : Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:56:07 GMT Author : DPA Category : Europe (World)

Paris - French President Nicolas Sarkozy was expected to arrive later Monday in the Tunisian capital Tunis to begin a three- day state visit during which he will push French business interests and try to shore up support for his plan for a Union for the Mediterranean. Sarkozy will be accompanied by his wife, Carla, seven ministers and the heads of some 120 companies, underscoring the economic importance of relations between the two countries.

France is by far Tunisia's most important trading partner, with bilateral commerce reaching some 7 billion euros (10.94 billion dollars) in 2007. A number of deals, worth about 2 billion euros, are expected to be finalized Monday evening, between Sarkozy's meeting with Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and a scheduled state dinner. The contracts to be signed include the sale of Airbus aircraft to Tunisian carrier Tunisair and for the construction of a conventional power station by the French firm Alstom at Ghannouch, in southern Tunisia. Sarkozy's proposal for a Union for the Mediterranean, which is to comprise the 27 EU member nations and countries situated along the Mediterranean rim, will be the main issue of bilateral discussions. One sore point between the two nations is the question of human rights under Ben Ali. On Saturday, two editors for the opposition weekly al-Mawkef said they would go on an unlimited hunger strike to protest what they called the government's harassment of their publication. Sarkozy's office said that the French president would raise human rights issues both in his talks with Ben Ali and in his public declarations.

Egypt looks for leading role in Mediterranean Union, minister says Posted : Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:42:00 GMT Author : DPA Middle East (World)

Luxembourg - Egypt wants to play a leading role in the planned Union for the Mediterranean, coordinating the states around the south of the sea, its foreign minister said on Monday at a meeting with European Union officials. Egypt accepts and endorses the idea of the union originally proposed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and it is eager to enter high-level discussions with the EU as Egypt, the coordinator of the south, Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul-Ghreit said. Egypt will also organize meetings around the southern Mediterranean to forge a common view with Arab neighbours on issues important to the proposed union, he said at a meeting in Luxembourg. Whatever we put on the table (on the issue of the proposed union) is very much spoken about, talked about and prepared with Egypt, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana replied.

Sarkozy initially proposed the idea for a Mediterranean Union modelled on the EU in early 2007. However, EU member states without a coastline on the sea rejected the creation of a major new structure, approving instead a strengthened version of current policies. The talks in Luxembourg were the fourth in an annual series set up under the so-called Association Agreement between the EU and Egypt, which came into force in 2004, and were marked by their constructive and friendly tone, participants said. The two sides discussed Egypt's mediating role in the Middle East Peace Process, agreeing that the immediate prerequisites for progress would be a ceasefire, the exchange of prisoners and the implementation of a 2005 agreement on crossings into the Gaza Strip. They also discussed the global problem of world food prices, while Egypt presented EU Foreign-Affairs Commissioner Benita Ferrero- Waldner with a list of proposals for improving aspects of cooperation, Aboul-Ghreit said. They also touched on the question of the crackdown on banned opposition group the Muslim Brotherhood ahead of April 8 municipal elections in the country. When you have an illegal organization acting, trying to be legal, you arrest its operators, Aboul-Ghreit said. There are still a lot of questions that we would have to tackle in the future, but ... the fact that the (April) elections were held was certainly important, Ferrero-Waldner said. She hoped that future cooperation would allow Egypt to build on the experience of its first-ever contested presidential elections in 2005, she said.

Dear Stan, APR 29,08MIKE EVANS

I am writing you from Israel after having an emergency meeting with former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom I have known since he was 26 years old. I was horrified to learn that when President Bush comes to Israel for its 60th Anniversary in May, he has made the decision to mobilize Arab nations to come for a summit on the 17th & 18th of May.The purpose of this summit is to move forward with the Annapolis Road Map, the plan that will force Israel to give up a large percentage of Judea and Samaria, which they call occupied territories, and divide the Holy City of Jerusalem.It is extremely humiliating to think this would be America’s way of honoring Israel’s 60th year of prophetic rebirth. Even more outrageous, I saw the document confirming that the plan is to have this finalized by November 12, 2008.

I am asking you to vote and let President Bush know that you oppose him organizing a summit to divide Jerusalem on Israel’s 60th Anniversary. http://tool.donation-net.net/JPT_Area/Vote/Vote_ap1.cfm?dn=1032&source=3035&id=256310&commid=80783715&CFID=4988642&CFTOKEN=34083737

He needs to hear from you loudly and clearly immediately.Send this to all of your friends and ask them to do the same. God’s words say that I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee.

Insights into life, ideas for personal growth APR 29,08

GOOD MORNING! This Shabbat coincides with the Seventh Day of Pesach, a full-fledged holiday which extends to Sunday evening, the April 27th. The crossing of the Yam Soof, usually translated as the Red Sea, more correctly translated as The Reed Sea or Sea of Reeds, took place on this day. And thus continued the 50 day journey of self-perfection until the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai.How do we begin to improve ourselves? It starts with a decision to change. What if you had a special clock on top of your television that was counting down the hours and minutes until you were to die? When would you get up, turn off the TV and do all the things that you planned to do, hoped to do or in passing thought about doing?

And what if in addition to your special clock, you had a special bank account where every morning you were credited in your bank account with $86,400 dollars on condition that you had to spend it all or lose it? What would you do? Spend it!! Well, you do have a special bank account called the Bank of Time! Each day you have exactly 86,400 seconds. What you don't invest wisely is written off each night. You can reap dividends, but you can't go into overdraft!

One has to value his time and know that it is limited in order to change. The Sephirat HaOmer period is about valuing time and about changing.

Q & A: WHAT IS SEPHIRAT HA-OMER?

On the second day of Pesach, the Omer offering from the new barley crop was brought in the Temple in Jerusalem. It began a period of counting and preparation for Shavuot, the anniversary of the giving of the Torah and the yearly celebration of re-accepting the Torah upon ourselves. This period is called Sephirat HaOmer, the counting of the Omer.Forty-nine days are counted and on the fiftieth day is Shavuot, the Yom Tov celebrating the giving of the Torah. There is actually a mitzvah to count each specific day which is done at the completion of Ma'ariv, the evening service.

This is a period of national semi-mourning (no weddings or even haircuts). It was during this period that Rabbi Akiva's 24,000 students died for not showing sufficient respect for each other. It is a time for us to reflect how we look upon and treat our fellow Jews as well as the tragedies that have befallen us because of unfounded (self-justified) hatred. It is a wonderful time to undertake to do an extra act of kindness; this will help to help bring perfection to the world and unity amongst Jews.This is a period of national semi-mourning (no weddings or even haircuts).

It is a wonderful time to undertake an extra act of kindness; this will help to bring perfection to the world and unity amongst Jews.

These 50 days also correspond to the seven weeks after the Exodus from Egypt when the Jewish people prepared themselves to receive the Torah at Mt. Sinai. When we left Egypt we were on the 49th level of Tuma, spiritual degradation. Each day we climbed one step higher in spirituality and holiness. Many people study one of the 48 Ways to Wisdom (Ethics of the Fathers, 6:6) each day as a means to personal and spiritual growth. Rabbi Noah Weinberg, the great educator and founder of Aish HaTorah, has his flagship series of lectures of the 48 Ways available on cassette, cd or mp3 download. You can even buy them on a specially pre-loaded mp3 player or Ipod! - available by calling (800) 864-2373 or at http://www.ShabbatShalomAudio.com! I think of this series as the Jewish Dale Carnegie Course for getting the most out of life! It will be one of the great purchases in your life!

Torah Portion of the Week Pesach

The Torah reading for this Shabbat is Exodus 13:17-15:26 which tells the story of the Egyptians, having changed their minds about letting the Jewish people go, pursuing us unto the Yam Soof (Red/Reed Sea), the splitting of the sea, the salvation of the Jewish people, the drowning of the Egyptians, the song of rejoicing and thanks to the Almighty. We also read Shir HaShirim, The Song of Songs, the Megillah (scroll) which describes metaphorically the love affair of the Almighty and the Jewish people.On the last day of Pesach, Sunday, we read Deuteronomy 14:22-16:17 from the Torah portion of Re'eh including the Second Tithe, remission of loans every seven years, directive to open your hand to the poor, laws of a Jewish bondsman and ending with details of the three Pilgrim Festivals - Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkot - when all of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel would come to the Temple in Jerusalem to celebrate. Also, on Sunday is Yizkor, memorial prayers for parents who have passed on.

Dvar Torah

The Torah states regarding the splitting of the Yam Soof (the Sea of Reeds which is commonly translated as the Red Sea) that:The Children of Israel came within the sea on dry land; and the water was a wall for them, on their right and on their left. (Ex. 14:22)
Seven verses later the Torah states The Children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea; the water was a wall for them, on their right and on their left. Why the change in the two reports of what happened? And why in the first report is the Hebrew word for wall spelled with the letter Vov and in the second report, it is spelled without the letter Vov? (There is significance and meaning to every word and every letter in the Torah.)The Vilna Gaon, Rabbi Eliyahu Kramer, comments that there were two groups of people amongst the Jews at the Yam Soof. There were those who trusted implicitly in the Almighty and who jumped into the sea and found themselves on dry land. The other group did not have such a high level of trust in the Almighty - even though they had seen the Ten Plagues afflict the Egyptians and had witnessed the miracles accompanying the Exodus from Egypt; they waited until they saw the dry land and then went on the dry land in the midst of the sea.

Evidence for this interpretation, writes the Vilna Gaon, can be found in the Hebrew spelling of wall. Though it can be spelled and pronounced properly with or without the Hebrew letter Vov, without the Vov the word can be pronounced either Choma, wall or Chaima, anger. Thus, with the second group which expressed the lower level of trust in G-d, the continuation of the verse hints at the Almighty's anger at them for their lack of trust in Him.Our lessons: (1) realize that everything in the Torah is exact and intentional, has depth and must be studied for lessons in life and (2) We should strive to develop trust in the Almighty in our daily living.

New Zealand scientists thaw 1,000-pound squid corpse By RAY LILLEY, Associated Press Writer Tue Apr 29, 3:33 AM ET

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Marine scientists in New Zealand on Tuesday were thawing the corpse of the largest squid ever caught to try to unlock the secrets of one of the ocean's most mysterious beasts. No one has ever seen a living, grown colossal squid in its natural deep ocean habitat, and scientists hope their examination of the 1,089-pound, 26-foot long colossal squid, set to begin Wednesday, will help determine how the creatures live. The thawing and examination are being broadcast live on the Internet.The squid, which was caught accidentally by fishermen last year, was removed from its freezer Monday and put into a tank filled with saline solution. Ice was added to the tank Tuesday to slow the thawing process so the outer flesh wouldn't rot, said Carol Diebel, director of natural environment at New Zealand's national museum, Te Papa Tongarewa.After it is thawed, scientists will examine the squid's anatomical features, remove the stomach, beak and other mouth parts, take tissue samples for DNA analysis and determine its sex, Diebel said.If we get ourselves a male it will be the first reported (scientific) description of the male of the species, Steve O'Shea, a squid expert at Auckland's University of Technology, told National Radio. He is one of the scientists conducting the examination.The squid is believed to be the largest specimen of the rare deep-water species Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, or colossal squid, ever caught, O'Shea has said.Colossal squid, which have long been one of the most mysterious denizens of the deep ocean, can grow up to 46 feet long, descend to 6,500 feet into the ocean and are considered aggressive hunters.

At the time it was caught, O'Shea said it would make calamari rings the size of tractor tires if cut up — but they would taste like ammonia, a compound found in the animals' flesh.Fishermen off the coast of Antarctica accidentally netted the squid in February 2007 while catching Patagonian toothfish, which are sold under the name Chilean sea bass.The squid was eating a hooked toothfish when it was hauled from the deep. Recognizing it as a rare find, the fishermen froze the squid on their vessel to preserve it. The national museum, Te Papa Tongarewa, later took possession of it.

The previous largest colossal squid ever found was a 660 pound female squid discovered in 2003, the first ever landed.Researchers plan to eventually put the squid on display in a 1,800 gallon tank of formaldehyde at the museum in the capital, Wellington.Colossal squid are found in Antarctic waters and are not related to giant squid found round the coast of New Zealand. Giant squid grow up to 39 feet long, and are not as heavy as colossal squid.On the Net:
