Warning of major aftershock sparks panic in China By WILLIAM FOREMAN, Associated Press Writer MAY 19,08

CHENGDU, China - A government warning of a major aftershock sent thousands of panicked survivors running into the darkened streets Monday night following an unprecedented display of mourning for more than 34,000 people killed in a powerful earthquake one week ago. In shattered Sichuan province, quake-weary residents carried pillows, blankets and chairs from homes into the open or slept in cars after a statement from the National Seismology Bureau was read on television warning that there was a rather great chance of an aftershock measuring magnitude 6 to 7. Such jolts could cause major damage.People in the provincial capital of Chengdu got in their cars and drove east — toward plains and away from the quake zone to the northwest. At intersections outside the city, clusters of people slept on bedrolls. Cars were parked along a service road to a highway, their drivers sleeping on the sidewalk.In Mianyang, closer to the quake zone, a hospital moved patients into the square outside the rail station, setting up beds, medicine trays and tents.

The alarm compounded uneasiness in the region, which has been rumbled by dozens of aftershocks since the May 12 quake, including one on Monday night measured at magnitude 5.2 by the U.S. Geological Survey. No damage or injuries were reported.It came a few hours after China's more than 1 billion people paused for three minutes of mourning — an observance that previously only honored the death of a top Chinese leader.At 2:28 p.m., the moment the quake hit, wailing air-raid sirens and the blare of horns from cars, ships and trains signaled the start of the commemoration.From the broad boulevards of Beijing to the shaken streets of Sichuan province, everyone stood still. Traffic halted in cities, soldiers stood at attention, and people bowed their heads in respect for the dead.President Hu Jintao led senior government figures in a solemn ceremony televised nationally. Rescuers also briefly halted work in the disaster zone, where hope of finding more survivors was all but gone.The Olympic torch relay, a potent symbol of national pride in the countdown to the Beijing Games, was suspended.The occasion demonstrated the profound impact of the quake.China's Cabinet said the confirmed death toll rose to 34,073, although it is expected to climb. Another 5,260 remained buried in Sichuan, the provincial government said. Almost 250,000 are injured.The three-minute commemoration — part of an official three days of mourning — gave the government a chance to recognize and channel the grief of millions who have watched the disaster play out in unusually free coverage by state media.

Yin Pu, a Beijing psychologist, said the depth of feeling that people expressed Monday was a surprise.The only thing that was planned was the time, we could not have imagined that it would be so powerful, said Yin, who is recruiting volunteer counselors to send to the quake zone.But there were already signs that the unity would be shortlived.In Xiushui, one of scores of mountain villages in Sichuan province that were cut off for days in the days immediately after the quake, residents were grateful they now had water, food and other supplies. But they complained the response was slow and blamed local officials whom they described as corrupt and indifferent — a common complaint in rural China that has fueled sporadic protests in the past decade.During the first three days after the quake, the local government gave us nothing. No water or food, said Yu Jun, a 44-year-old farmer living in a roadside tent. In the first few days, we had to get our cooking water from an irrigation ditch. You could see little bugs wiggling around in the water. You would get sick if you drank it.There were other signs of edginess. In a gymnasium in Mianyang, east of Xiushui, refugees panicked Sunday when health workers arrived wearing masks, setting off fears of an epidemic. Police were sent in to keep tensions from boiling over. And in Tiananmen Square, the focus of pro-democracy rallies in 1989 that were crushed by the military, a mourning ceremony erupted into a nationalistic rally as about 1,000 people punched the air with their fists and shouted: Long live China! The crowd dispersed after about one hour when police told them to move on. In a sign the government is sensitive to public perceptions of its response to the disaster, the ruling Communist Party's discipline committee said it had reprimanded three local officials in the quake zone for dereliction of duty, the official Xinhua News Agency said. The party had instructed its officials to stand at the front line of the disaster and these three had failed to do so, Xinhua said.

Teams of rescuers still searched debris with their hands and shovels in the hope of finding anyone alive, but their successes were few. Two women were rescued Monday morning from a collapsed building at a mine site, Xinhua reported. Signaling it wants help to deal with millions of homeless and injured survivors, China said it would accept foreign medical teams and made an international appeal for tents to provide shelter for the coming rainy season.

More than 200 relief workers were buried in the past three days by mudslides while working to repair roads in Sichuan, Xinhua reported. An official confirmed there had been mudslides causing some deaths but said casualties were still being counted. For some, there was no solace in Monday's ceremonies. I can't feel anything. I have no words, said Hu Yongcui, who did not pause in her search for her missing 17-year-old daughter. I just want to go home. I just want to find my daughter.Associated Press writers Audra Ang in Beichuan, and Cara Anna, Anita Chang and Henry Sanderson in Beijing contributed to this report.

Myanmar: 3 days of mourning for cyclone victims MAY 19,08

YANGON, Myanmar - Myanmar's junta on Monday announced a three-day mourning period for cyclone victims, while the country's neighbors said they will establish a task force to handle foreign aid distribution. The mourning period starting Tuesday comes as people remain angry at what appears to be an inadequate government effort following the storm that left at least 130,000 people dead or missing.It also follows on a declaration by China of three days of mourning, starting Monday, for the more than 32,000 dead from its own disaster, an earthquake in Sichuan province last week.In a major concession after being slammed for blocking foreign help, Myanmar agreed to open its doors to medical teams from the 10 countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo told reporters.At an emergency meeting of ASEAN foreign ministers in Singapore, which included Myanmar Foreign Minister Nyan Win, officials agreed to set up an ASEAN-led task force for redistributing foreign aid.This mechanism will facilitate the effective distribution and utilization of assistance from the international community, including the expeditious and effective deployment of relief workers, especially health and medical personnel, Yeo told a news conference.The bloc will work with the U.N. to hold an aid donor conference in Yangon on May 25, Yeo said.Myanmar's military regime, meanwhile, allowed the U.N. humanitarian chief into the devastated Irrawaddy delta for a brief tour Monday, a U.N. official said.But the United Nations said its foreign staff were still barred from the delta and described conditions there as terrible, with hundreds of thousands of cyclone victims suffering from hunger, disease and lack of shelter.

John Holmes, the U.N. undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs, flew by helicopter to the delta before returning to Myanmar's largest city, Yangon, to meet with international aid agencies, said a U.N. official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the media.Others, including U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, also will be allowed into the disaster zone this week.An Asian diplomat said Myanmar has invited at least three representatives of several countries to tour the delta Friday. He spoke on condition of anonymity because the news has not been made public.Ban is to travel to the delta after his scheduled arrival in the country Wednesday, U.N. spokeswoman Michele Montas said in New York.Earlier, junta leader Senior Gen. Than Shwe had refused to take telephone calls from Ban and had not responded to two letters from him, Montas said. Holmes, who arrived in Yangon on Sunday, was to deliver a third letter about how the U.N. can assist the government's immediate and long-term relief effort.Amanda Pitt, a U.N. spokeswoman in Bangkok, said the world body was seeing some progress in terms of pipelines starting to come through but that the aid operation was still unsatisfactory.

Clearly we're still not satisfied, which is why we keep saying we need to upscale the response. We're not satisfied with it, nobody is. We can see the situation is terrible, she said.At least 78,000 people were killed in the May 2-3 storm and another 56,000 were missing. The situation remained grim in the Irrawaddy delta south of Yangon.In the delta city of Laputta, hundreds of children covered their heads from the rain with empty aluminum plates as they lined up in front of a private donation center on Sunday. They were given rice, a spoonful of curry and a potato. Children only. Please. Children only, shouted a man who pushed back a crowd of adults. He explained they were feeding children and the elderly first because food supplies were limited and most adults could still fend for themselves. The relief effort has been impeded by a lack of logistical support, said Ramesh Shrestha, head of the U.N. Children's Fund in Myanmar. He said there are not enough trucks to transport supplies and a shortage of manpower to load and unload them. Many of those areas are still inaccessible because of the high water table, roads covered with fallen trees and bridges that are broken. The government has been clearing it but it's still not completely done yet, he said. European Union nations have warned the junta could be committing a crime against humanity by blocking aid intended for up to 2.5 million survivors faced with hunger, loss of their homes and potential outbreaks of deadly diseases.

But signs have appeared that the generals might be listening to the chorus of criticism. A team of 50 Chinese medics arrived in Yangon on Sunday night, following in the footsteps of medical personnel from India and Thailand, the official Chinese news agency Xinhua reported. On Monday, some 30 Thai doctors and nurses began working in the delta. Myanmar's state-run media has lashed out at critics of the regime's response to the disaster, detailing the junta's efforts. State television showed Than Shwe inspecting supplies and comforting homeless victims in relatively clean and neat rows of blue tents. The media said Than Shwe traveled from the capital, Naypyitaw, to relief camps in the suburbs of Yangon. Some survivors clasped their hands and bowed as he and a column of military leaders walked past. The official New Light of Myanmar newspaper said the government's National Disaster Preparedness Central Committee will work with foreign aid agencies to ensure that all relief funds and supplies reach the storm victims.

Storm toll in Philippines rises to 12: government
Mon May 19, 12:19 AM

MANILA (AFP) - Eight more people were reported killed in the northern Philippines as tropical storm Halong intensified on Monday, raising the death toll to 12, the civil defence office said.
The storm lashed the northern Philippines Sunday, with the provinces of Pangasinan and La Union in Luzon island bearing the brunt of its fury.Strong winds whipped up by the storm blew away tin roofs and uprooted trees and electricity posts, while the heavy rains flooded large areas, cutting off thousands, it said.Rescuers said they had plucked from the sea two crew members of the cargo vessel Edago Expedition, which was reported lost at the height of the storm after sailing off the port of Mindoro Sunday.It was not clear how many were aboard the vessel, the coast guard said, adding that search and rescue operations were continuing.As of early Monday, Halong was moving northeastward away from the Philippines, with maximum sustained winds of 95 kilometers (58.9 miles) per hour near the centre and gusts of up to 120 kilometers (182 miles) an hour.

The storm has accelerated as it continues to move northeastward away from the country, and was expected to be around 400 kilometers (248 miles) southeast of Okinawa, Japan by Tuesday morning.Large areas remained without power or vital communication lines Monday, with schools used as evacuation centres, the civil defence office said.Damage to infrastructure and agriculture are expected to be extensive, it added.Some 34,756 people were affected in 12 towns and three cities in five provinces, it said.The state weather bureau said gale-force winds were expected to create huge waves that may affect the western seaboard of Luzon island, with sea conditions expected to be very rough.

Millions of tiny starfish inhabit undersea volcano By RAY LILLEY, Associated Press Writer MAY 19,08

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Marine scientists surveying a large undersea mountain chain were amazed to find millions of tiny starfish swirling their arms to capture food in the undersea current. An expedition by 19 scientists, including five from Australia, studied the geology and biology of eight Macquarie Ridge sea mounts. They are part of a string of underwater volcanoes — dormant for millions of years — that stretches 875 miles from south of New Zealand toward Antarctica.The scientists also investigated the world's biggest ocean current — the Antarctic Circumpolar Current — amid expectations they would find evidence of climate change in the Southern Ocean.While the expedition's cameras found a wide range of corals, a high density of cardinal fish and the huge coral, the vast collection of brittle stars was the highlight of the voyage.I've personally never seen anything like this — all these animals, the sheer volume — all waiting for food from the current, expedition member and marine biologist Dr. Mireille Consalvey said Monday. It challenged what we as scientists thought we knew.Expedition leader and marine biologist Ashley Rowden said starfish usually cover only slopes away from the top of the undersea mountains.It got us excited as soon as we saw it, Rowden said of the site, dubbed Brittle Star City.The starfish are about 0.4 inch across, with arms about 2 inches long.The expedition began March 26 and returned to port in New Zealand's capital Wellington on April 26.

Melbourne-based marine biologist Tim O'Hara, a brittle star specialist, said the vast collection of brittle stars, or ophiuroid ophiacantha, is like a relic of ancient times.Normally fish would prey on them and eat them ... so for whatever reason there's a lack of fish predation there and it's seen this particular animal flourish, he said.O'Hara, who was not part of the voyage, said the speed of the sea current in the area may partly explain why fish were not feeding on the tiny animals.The Circumpolar Current merges the waters of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans and carries up to 150 times the volume of water flowing in all the world's rivers, oceanographer Mike Williams said.Australian oceanographer Steve Rintoul, who was not involved in the expedition, said there have been few measurements of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which strongly influences regional and global climate by carrying vast amounts of water and heat across oceans.Fewer than 200 of the world's estimated 100,000 sea mounts that rise more than a half a mile above the sea floor have been studied in any detail.

Stocks finish mixed following tech pullback By TIM PARADIS, AP Business Writer Mon May 19, 5:40 PM ET

NEW YORK - Wall Street ended mixed Monday after weakness in the technology sector punctured some of the market's enthusiasm over a report that suggested the economy could still be growing. But comments from memory chip maker SanDisk Corp. about soft sales helped pull stocks off their highs and sent tech shares lower. The Dow Jones industrial average, which had been up more than 100 points, finished well off its highs.The Conference Board's leading economic indicators report showed a 0.1 percent rise for April, following a similar uptick in March. The index, aimed at predicting economic activity in the next three to six months, bolstered investors' belief that the overall U.S. economy, while weak, is positioned for recovery.After five months of declines in the leading indicators, some investors were concerned that March's increase was an anomaly — so April's advance was met with relief, said Hugh Johnson, chief investment officer of Johnson Illington Advisors.But technology shares tugged at the market after SanDisk issued cautious comments at a JPMorgan technology conference Monday, said Neil Massa, senior trader at MFC Global Investment Management in Boston. SanDisk fell $2.42, or 7.5 percent, to $30.02. SanDisk's remarks came on a day of light trading and dented but didn't sink an upbeat mood on Wall Street.

Even though you're up only 0.1 percent, it's very good news that the declining trend may have been reversed, Johnson said, referring to the leading indicators report. That is important for this reason: It's consistent with the message of the markets. The broader market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 index, rose 2.67 percent last week on cautious optimism about the economy.

The Dow rose 41.36, or 0.32 percent, to 13,028.16. The blue chips had been up nearly 150 points at their highs of the session.Broader stock indicators finished mixed. The S&P 500 advanced 1.28, or 0.09 percent, to 1,426.63, and the technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index fell 12.76, or 0.50 percent, to 2,516.09.Government bonds rose as the rally in stocks cooled. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its yield, fell to 3.83 percent from 3.85 percent late Friday.The dollar rose against most other major currencies, while gold prices also climbed.One pressure point for the economy — rising energy prices — appeared relatively in check Monday. While many investors remain mindful of the rising price of oil and its effect on consumer spending, Wall Street seemed somewhat unfazed as oil advanced but didn't top its record trading high set Friday. Light, sweet crude rose 76 cents to settle at a record $127.05 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The price of a gallon of regular gasoline topped $4 for the first time in two U.S. metropolitan areas. Still, energy didn't seem as large of a concern as in some recent sessions.Financial shares also pulled back after the market came off its highs. Merrill Lynch & Co. fell $1.14, or 2.3 percent, to $47.71, while Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. fell 85 cents to $42.79.In other corporate news, Microsoft Corp. has renewed talks with Yahoo Inc. about a possible deal to bolster the companies' position in the online search and advertising markets. The companies appear to be exploring possible arrangements outside of a direct tie-up. Microsoft fell 53 cents to $29.46, and Yahoo rose 2 cents to $27.68.

General Motors Corp. rose after one of its biggest suppliers reached a tentative labor deal with the United Auto Workers. The agreement with American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. may end a nearly three-month strike by 3,650 U.S. hourly workers. GM advanced 19 cents to $20.87.Lowe's Cos. posted a first-quarter profit decline and issued an outlook for the year that came in below analyst estimates. The second-largest home improvement chain fell 64 cents, or 2.6 percent, to $24.25.The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 2.72, or 0.37 percent, to 738.45.Declining issues narrowly outpaced advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.55 billion shares, compared with 3.74 billion traded Friday.In overseas trading, Tokyo's Nikkei closed up 0.35 percent. In Europe, London's FTSE closed up 1.15 percent, Frankfurt's DAX rose 0.97 percent and Paris' CAC 40 was up 1.26 percent.

Netanyahu calls for new elections MAY 19,08

The leader of the Israeli opposition Likud Party, Benjamin Netanyahu, said Monday that the coalition led by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert must return the mandate to the people to choose another government.The Olmert-Kadima government has no mandate to negotiate on Israel’s borders, the former prime minister said, according to Ynetnews.This government was elected under different circumstances and times. Most of the public knows that any land we give away will become a terror base for Islam extremists under Iran’s patronage, Netanyahu told a Likud faction meeting, which along with the other parties' Knesset factions was holding its first meeting in six weeks.Bibi - as the Likud leader is widely known - steered clear of exploiting the ongoing criminal investigation into Olmert, who is being probed for having allegedly taken bribes.Instead he homed in on the inability of Olmert's government to adhere to its basic guidelines as laid out when it came to power on May 4, 2006.

Olmert and his Kadima Party were elected to continue efforts to pave the way for a two-state solution begun when Prime Minister Ariel Sharon executed the disengagement [in reality, retreat – Ed] from the Gaza Strip.The next step, which Sharon was gearing up to perpetrate when he was felled by a hemorrhagic stroke in December 2005, was retreat from Samaria and Judea - the ethnic cleansing of Jews and the destruction of all Jewish towns and cities in those areas in order that a Palestinian state can be created there.

Samaria and Judea comprise the biblical heartland of the Jewish people, the cradle of their nationhood. The Jewish patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph are buried there, and the Old City of Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount and the Mount of Olives are situated in those occupied territories.According to the Basic Guidelines of the 31st Government of Israel Olmert's administration committed itself to take action even in the absence of negotiations and agreement with [the 'Palestinians'] on the basis of a broad national consensus in Israel and a deep understanding with Israel’s friends in the world, primarily the United States of America and President George Bush [to establish] Israel’s territory, the borders of which will be determined by the Government [and which] will entail the reduction of Israeli settlement in Judea and Samaria.In the two years since the government's election, all Israel has learned the price for relinquishing territory:The Palestinian Arabs turned the surrendered Gaza Strip into a terrorist base from which thousands of rockets have been fired into southern Israel - those attacks continuing to this day - Israeli soldiers have been regularly attacked and Gilad Schalit - the then 19-year-old IDF corporal - was kidnapped and is still being held.

In the summer of 2006 the Lebanese Hizb'allah, using territory unilaterally vacated by Israel, kidnapped Israeli soldiers, triggering the Second Lebanon War which saw thousands of rockets fired into northern Israel, causing more than a million Israelis to flee south.It is in the light of these painful realities, Netanyahu said, that new elections have to be held.

Palestinians demand regular army for new state MAY 19,08

Optimistic developments touted after Olmert-Abbas meeting prove to hold little water as gaps between Israel, PA only seem to widen as negotiations go deeper. Behind closed doors, Israeli and Palestinian officials have confirmed to Ynet, PA negotiator Ahmed Qureia is demanding an army be built for future Palestinian nation
Roni Sofer Published: 05.19.08, 01:14 / Israel News

Despite previous understandings that a future Palestinian state would be demilitarized, Ynet has learned that in talks held behind closed doors, the top negotiator for the Palestinian Authority, Ahmed Qureia, is demanding the establishment of a regular army.

High-level Israeli and Palestinian officials confirmed the newly revealed developments on Monday night.According to the information obtained by Ynet, the new and surprising demand first emerged as the negotiations teams sat down in Jerusalem last Sunday to discuss security arrangements. Qureia told Foreign Affairs Minister Tzipi Livni that the Palestinian state would require a regular army to defend itself. Livni, though perplexed by the sudden demand, made clear that all previous accords specifically spoke of a demilitarized Palestinian state. A senior Israeli source said that Livni sought to clarify if perhaps Qureia had meant a Palestinian police force, but the latter was reiterated that it was a proper regular army the PA was after.The source added that the new Palestinian stipulation incensed Livni, who ardently rejects the idea of such an army.Palestinian policemen in Jenin. Soon to be soldiers? (Photo: Reuters)A very senior Palestinian source close to Qureia confirmed the exchange. At the meeting in question we raised the demand for a regular army, meant to defend the independent state, he told Ynet. This isn't an army intended to launch an attack against Israel. We are not asking for F-16 jets but rather a force that would be able to defend the nation from threat and realize its basic right to exist in security.The source said the situation had changed greatly since the days of the Oslo Accords in 1993. Oslo spoke of an intermediary entity. Now we are talking about a Palestinian state born out of a permanent agreement. There is no clause in any of the understandings that denies the Palestinian state an army to defend itself with, to defend its borders and citizens with, he said.

What significant progress, exactly?

Following the most recent meeting between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, a senior State official declared that significant progress had been made in negotiations on the final borders and security arrangements. An Israeli official well-informed of the proceedings rejected that statement. What significant progress are they talking about exactly? he wondered. It's very clear that there are complex disagreements on all the core issues. Up until now the points of contention have been the borders and the matter of the refugees. And that was before you even got to Jerusalem. But now the Palestinians want an army of their own, without regard to any of the previous accords. This isn't progress, it's backtracking. Reports of progress in the negotiations are misleading the public.

But other officials connected to the talks taking place in backrooms think little of the Palestinians demand for a regular army. The Palestinians, they said, were well aware that in the event a Palestinian state will indeed be established, it will undoubtedly be demilitarized. Disagreements are an inherent part of negotiations, they said, but this does not mean the talks are stalled. In her speech at the president's conference last week, Livni determinedly broached the subject: Yes, it is important to set recognized borders, but that is not enough. We must determine what will be on the other side of that border.We are talking about a demilitarized state here (…) we will not stand for a terror state or an extremist Islamist state. There are conditions that will have to be met, before and after. I don't hold by just tossing the keys over the border and hoping for the best.

PREMEDITATED MERGER Spain to run America's 1st superhighway?
$12.8 billion deal would turn over control of Pennsylvania Turnpike
May 19, 2008 9:06 pm Eastern 2008 WorldNetDaily

Stretching through the rural countryside with limited access and no speed limit in 1940, the Pennsylvania Turnpike was built to resemble Germany's autobahn. Now thanks to a $12.8 billion dollar offer, it may soon become Spain's.According to a report in the Philadelphia Daily News, Gov. Ed Rendell has announced that Abertis Infraestructuras of Barcelona has offered the top dollar bid to the state of Pennsylvania for the rights to manage the toll road under a 75-year lease.The highway could become just the latest in a string of U.S. infrastructure landmarks to be operated by foreign companies.In 2004, management of the Chicago Skyway, a stretch of elevated road connecting I-90 and I-94, was granted to Cintra, another Spanish operation that outbid Abertis at $1.83 billion. Abertis lost out to Cintra again when the Indiana Toll Road was taken over in 2006 for $3.8 billion.This time, Abertis beat out Cintra and other firms, hoping to add the Pennsylvania Turnpike to its list of operations including toll roads in Spain, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Chile, Colombia and Argentina. Abertis also operates airports, including the airports in Orlando, Fla.; Burbank, Calif.; and one concourse of the Atlanta airport.

Even though the controversial Dubai ports deal was squashed by public outcry in 2006, foreign firms have nonetheless purchased long-term leases on other American transportation networks.The Chicago Skyway is tied up for 99 years. The Indiana Toll Road is leased for 75. As WND reported earlier this year, Chicago is seeking a more than 50-year lease on Midway Airport. Among the potential suitors for Midway are 6 international firms, including Abertis.The leases are being made possible through an increasingly common practice of establishing public-private partnerships (PPP's), contracts between public agencies and private entities that enable private sector participation in public transportation.

Many of the PPP's implemented in the U.S. bring large up-front cash infusions. In both the proposed Midway and Pennsylvania Turnpike offers, the billions in cash are touted as a quick solution to shoring up under-funded government employee pension funds.Many, however, see an imminent threat in turning over U.S. infrastructure to foreign companies.The USA is up for sale, an attendee of a conference in Colorado to discuss PPPs told WND. Whatever the public now owns – roads, ports, waste management water systems, rail lines, public parking facilities, airports, even lotteries and sports stadiums – are up for grabs and the only requirement is that the foreigners have the cash.Even William Capone, the director of communications for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, told WND in a telephone interview earlier this year, We don't favor turning the Pennsylvania Turnpike into a private entity through a PPP lease. If we keep the Pennsylvania Turnpike in the hands of a public entity, we believe we can actually invest more dollars into roads than a private corporation could do.Besides, he said, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is not profit-driven, so we don't have to generate profits to pay shareholders the way a PPP would have to operate.Rendell, however, is now advocating the proposal that would turn his state's best known road over to Abertis. Rendell called the plan a very good deal for Pennsylvanian drivers and taxpayers and is urging lawmakers to move the highway – 359 miles of east-west routes and another northeast extension – into private hands by September.The proposal still has to go through the Pennsylvania legislature, a decision that is likely to be hotly contested. Many in the capital are hoping Act 44, a law passed by the state legislature in 2007 to make I-80 a toll road as well, will stem the financial crisis and deflate the impetus for accepting the Turnpike proposal.According to the newspaper report, the toll road plan with Abertis allows the newcomer to raise tolls 25 percent year and 2.5 percent or the rate of inflation every year after that.

UK foreign minister mooted for EU job
19.05.2008 - 09:26 CET | By Honor Mahony

The UK foreign office has denied reports in a German newspaper that foreign minister David Miliband is looking to become the EU's next foreign policy chief.Die Welt am Sonntag yesterday (18 May) reported high-ranking EU diplomats as saying that Mr Miliband had the support of France and other countries to become the high representative for foreign and security policy next year. He would replace Spain's Javier Solana who has been in the job since 1999.

A foreign office spokesperson, quoted by Reuters news agency, said Mr Miliband, who is 42 and is seen as one of the UK governing Labour party's strongest young politicians, was concentrating on his current job.The foreign secretary is fully focussed on being foreign secretary, said the spokesperson. If ratification of the EU's new set of institutional rules, the Lisbon Treaty, is completed this year, Mr Solana is likely to take on the expanded foreign minister role in January to be replaced by someone else when the new European Commission takes office in autumn.The new post foresees the foreign policy chief being both the vice-president of the commission as well as the permanent chair of the regular meeting of EU foreign ministers. The post would also be backed up an EU diplomatic service.This scraps the current overlapping situation of having an external relations commissioner as well as foreign policy chief.Mr Miliband, who is seen as pro-Europe, is said to have a good reputation in several EU capitals. A speech that he was supposed to give im autumn last year and which was toned down for being too European gave him a lot of positive attention.

In addition, putting a Briton in this post could dilute London's opposition to Luxembourg prime minister Jean-Claude Juncker becoming EU president - the second high-ranking post that the treaty foresees beginning early next year.Britain is seen as opposing Mr Juncker, who has indicated that he thinks that the president's post should be politically substantial rather than purely ceremonial, for being too federalist.Talks on who should fill all the posts that are coming up next year are expected to start in earnest under the French EU presidency, beginning on 1 July.Aside from personalities, discussions also have to take into account political affiliation. Mr Juncker is a centre-right politician while Mr Miliband is from the centre-left. Current speculation puts centre-right Jose Manuel Barroso in for a second term as European Commission president.The role of European Parliament president is also being taken into consideration in the EU cauldron. Parliament officials suggest the five-year post could be split between Jerzy Buzek, a Polish centre-right MEP, and Martin Schulz, a German MEP, currently head of the socialist faction in the EU assembly.However, this set-up does not yet foresee anything for the liberals, currently the third biggest political family in Europe.

2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
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:

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
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.

Russian Prime Vladimir Putin forms government presidium 19.05.2008, 13.28

MOSCOW, May 19 (Itar-Tass) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has signed a decree on the formation of the government’s presidium, the governmental press serviced told ITAR-TASS on Monday. The presidium will include Putin and his seven deputies – Viktor Zubkov; Igor Shuvalov; Alexander Zhukov; Sergei Ivanov; Igor Sechin; Sergei Sobyanin and Alexander Kudrin. It will also comprise Minister of Health and Social Development Tatyana Golikova; Minister of Agriculture Alexei Gordeyev; Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov; Minister of Economics Elvira Nabiullina; Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev; and Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov; and Minister of Regional Development Dmitry Kozak. Putin said at the first meeting of the renewed government on May 15 that the presidium of the Russian government would meet once a week. The cabinet of ministers will hold its meetings once a month.

The presidium will discuss at its meetings the current activity of the cabinet of ministers, to which ministers will be invited to speak. It is apparent that to all that meetings of the government are a cumbersome and bureaucratized mechanism, Putin said. The government’s presidium will be a kind of an operative staff for coordination of efforts and action of departments in the development and implementation of plans, the prime minister said.

His press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the presidium would have 15 members, or three-fifth of the government, which in fact means a quorum sufficient for decision-making.
