EU envoy to US flaunts new powers
ANDREW RETTMAN Today AUG 11,10 @ 13:31 CET

The EU's new ambassador to the US, Joao Vale de Almeida, has underlined the new powers conferred on EU envoys by the Lisbon Treaty while taking up his post in Washington.In a series of interviews to US-based press on Tuesday (10 August), the ambassador noted that he is empowered to speak on behalf of EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy, EU Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso and EU member states.I do not wish or will impose myself on the member states' ambassadors ... Where we have a common position, I am the one leading the show. Bilateral matters are the mandate of the 27 [EU member state] ambassadors, he told the Washington Post. In this area code, you call me,he added, on the apocryphal tale of former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger once asking whom he should telephone if he wants to speak to the EU.

I'm the first new type of ambassador for the European Union anywhere in the world, he told Agence France Presse. Our delegations now cover a wide spectrum of issues well beyond the economic dimension, trade dimension and regulatory dimension, to cover all policies in the union, including foreign policy and security policy.The EU is currently in the process of converting its 138 foreign missions into EU delegations empowered to speak on behalf of the whole union.In the past, the missions' main task was to implement EU projects and to channel information back and forth to EU institutions. The Belgian EU presidency aims to wrap up the conversion process by the end of the year, while EU foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton is in the coming weeks to name a first generation of 31 new EU heads and deputy heads of delegation in her European External Action Service.Mr Vale de Almeida told AFP that he will focus on Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Middle East peace process in the foreign policy area: On the foreign policy side, Iran is top of the list.

Transatlantic economic ties and the recovery from the global financial crisis will also lead his agenda, he added.In a formal letter adressed to US President Barack Obama, the EU ambassador downplayed the idea that China is becoming a more important partner for the US than the EU. The emergence of new powers has led to predictions that transatlantic relations will be less important in the future, but this view overlooks the enormous stock we have vested in one another,he wrote. Mr Vale de Almeida's appointment, decided in Brussels earlier this year, saw allegations of cronyism against the EU commission. Mr Barroso, a fellow Portuguese countryman of Mr Vale de Almeida, reportedly pushed through the nomination over Ms Ashton's head.EU diplomats at the time also complained the new ambassador - a former journalist who served as an EU commission press spokesman, an advisor to Mr Barroso and, briefly, as head of the commission's external relations department, but who has no diplomatic experience - is not up to the job.Meanwhile, EU countries remain less than comfortable with the new division of power under Lisbon.What you see in the big emerging countries and in the US, is that each [EU] country defends its privileged relationship. When you talk to the Chinese or to the Indians they say: Yes, we have this EU summit once a year. But for the rest of the time, each of your countries comes and says the EU is not important,a veteran EU diplomat told EUobserver in a recent interview.

Commissioner defends unfashionable EU tax idea
ANDREW RETTMAN Today AUG 11,10 @ 11:18 CET

The Polish commissioner in charge of the EU budget, Janusz Lewandowski, has said an EU levy on the financial sector has the best chance of winning support after France joined the UK and Germany in opposition to plans for creating an EU tax.Talking about EU own resources and something with the shape of a European tax is extraordinarily unfashionable. But I see a tendency, that it is possible in terms of public opinion to defend a tax on financial transactions or another form of tax on the financial sector. It would even be popular, he told the Polish press agency, PAP, on Tuesday (10 August).Mr Lewandowski noted that he is looking to raise about €30 billion to €40 billion a year from the new revenue source in order to keep EU spending levels at no less than the current rate of €140 billion a year in the 2014 to 2020 period. He said EU financial ministers are encouraging the European Commission to explore new revenue options despite a public backlash against the EU tax idea by the bloc's biggest member states. They are telling the commission: keep looking, maybe you will find something, so long as it lets us reduce payments from state budgets,Mr Lewandowski told PAP.This motivates me to look for new revenue sources, because I know what kind of impasse we will hit in budget talks if they are to mean larger donations from Paris, Berlin, London or other capitals. This is why it's worth looking for new solutions and taking a risk.France on Tuesday joined the UK and Germany in criticising the notion of a new EU levy, recently floated by Mr Lewandowski in the German press.

We think this idea of a European tax is completely inopportune. Any kind of supplementary tax is today unwelcome. It is rather a time for making savings both in member states and the European institutions,the French junior minister for EU affairs, Pierre Lellouche told Agence France Presse.Clearly the idea of a European tax, the power to levy taxes, raises fundamental political issues and would be a very significant transfer of sovereignty, he added.The Lewandowski gambit comes amid deep cuts in national spending by many EU states in reaction to the eurozone debt crisis, creating antagonism to any extra transfer of money to Brussels. But a financial transaction tax would hit a sector held morally responsible for the global financial crisis in 2008, which led to the current age of austerity. Poland and Belgium are the only EU countries so far to come out in favour of the new EU levy.

Poland's EU affairs minister Mikolaj Dowgielewicz told PAP on Tuesday that Warsaw would welcome a debate on the subject, so long as the tax would not target ordinary citizens and would not be linked to CO2 emissions trading rights.But it's not to be excluded that we would accept other variants. That's why I would warn others against excessive criticism, he said. Belgian junior minister Melchior Wathelet was unequivocal in his backing. With a mechanism of own resources, it [the EU budget] would be more fair,he told the Belga news agency.Belgium, as the current holder of the rotating EU presidency, and the home country of EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy, is in a good position to put the tax idea high on the agenda of EU finance ministers in September, when Mr Lewandowski aims to put forward a formal proposal.

EZEKIEL 39:11-22
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.

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

Israel bulldozes Muslim graves in Jerusalem
Tue Aug 10, 11:14 am ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israeli bulldozers backed by police destroyed dozens of gravestones in a Muslim cemetery in central Jerusalem on Tuesday, according to an AFP photographer.The Islamic Movement accused the municipality of destroying more than 200 Muslim graves that had been recently renovated in a centuries-old cemetery in mostly Jewish west Jerusalem.Last night at around 12:30 am (2130 GMT) occupation forces entered the cemetery and destroyed around 200 graves, said Mahmud Abu Atta of the Al-Aqsa Foundation linked to the group, whose members are Arab citizens of Israel.He said the bulldozers returned later in the day to destroy dozens more after a Jerusalem court rejected a petition to halt the work.The destruction is related to the issue of renovation. The Israeli establishment does not want us to renovate the graves so it is destroying them, he said.The spokesman for the municipality did not respond to several phone calls, and a police spokesman said he was looking into the incident.The demolition of the graves happened near the site of a planned Museum of Tolerance to be built by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a US-based Jewish human rights group.The project has sparked controversy because of its proximity to the graves but Abu Atta said the latest demolition work was not related to the museum.Israel's 1.3 million Arab citizens include the descendants of Palestinians who remained in the Jewish state after the 1948 war that attended its creation.

Enter Elul, Month of Penitence
by Gil Ronen AUG 11,10

The month of Elul, which began Tuesday evening, is the final one of the Jewish year. It is immediately followed by Rosh HaShana, the beginning of the new year and a Day of Judgment.For this reason it is considered a time of soul-searching, in which the Israelites are expected to undergo a process of teshuva – a return to roots and to morality, and a process of renewal in anticipation of the new year.The 40 days that include Elul and the ten days that follow it are considered Days of Mercy because they are the days in which Moses – to whom Jews usually refer as Moshe Rabbenu, or Our Rabbi Moses – ascended Mount Sinai and prayed for the Israelites after the Sin of the Calf. On Yom Kippur, G-d told him that He had forgiven Israel's transgression and Moses went back down the mountain with the new Tablets of commandments. The days are therefore considered fit for teshuva and tikkun – fixing one's heart and mending one's ways.Sephardic Jews traditionally recite the selichot, or prayers of penitence, throughout the month, either in the very early morning or after midnight. The selichot are prayers to G-d asking that He will forgive us our trespasses, bring us closer to Him, have mercy on Nation of Israel and fully redeem them.Ashkenazi Jews begin to recite selichot on the week that precedes Rosh Hashana. Some Yemenite Jews begin to recite them in mid-Elul.Ashkenazi Jews – descendants of communities that lived in Europe for hundreds of years – also add Psalm 2, which begins with the words A Psalm of David: G-d is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? – following their prayers during Elul. It is also customary to blow the shofar, or ritual ram's horn, after the morning prayers, to arouse the hearts of the believers to make teshuva before Judgment Day. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

Report: Police Use Tear Gas to Arrest 40 Jewish Girls on March
by Eli Stutz AUG 11,10

Tuesday evening, police arrested 40 Jewish girls attempting to march into Jericho. The girls were taken to the police station in Maaleh Adumin. Some of the arrested said the police used tear gas against them. The marchers told Arutz Sheva that they would continue their struggle for the Land of Israel.The Hebrew Cities March, which began on Monday, aimed at marching to the historically Jewish cities of Shechem and Jericho, abandoned by the IDF in recent years. Dozens of marchers have been arrested over the course of the week at various stages of the march.One of the marchers, a teen-aged girl who spoke to Arutz-Sheva from a closed military vehicle without air conditioning, said that the arrest was carried out while she and the other participants were marching on Israeli territory, without a warrant and without warning. Suddenly, the soldiers attacked us, threw us on the floor and started beating us, dragged us into a hot army jeep. Some of the girls received burns from contact with the jeep, said the girl, who was in the jeep along with seven of her friends.

Uncovered: Heaviest Gold Coin Ever Found in Israel
by Hillel Fendel AUG 11,10

Archaeologists working in Tel Kedesh in northern Israel have uncovered an extremely rare 2,200-year-old gold coin, minted in Alexandria by King Ptolemy V.The head of the Coin Department of the Israel Antiquities Association, long-time American immigrant Dr. Donald T. Ariel, said, This is the heaviest and most valuable ancient gold coin ever found in an excavation in Israel.The coin depicts a queen, believed to be Arsinoe II Philadelphus, who was married to her half-brother Ptolemy II. It is possible, however, that it may actually be Ptolemy V's wife Cleopatra I, daughter of Antiochus III.The excavations at Tel Kedesh, near Israel's border with Lebanon, are being carried out by the University of Michigan and University of Minnesota. This is an amazing numismatic find, Dr. Ariel said. The coin is beautiful and in excellent preservation. It is the heaviest gold coin with the highest contemporary value of any coin ever found in an excavation in Israel, weighing almost an ounce,or 27.7 grams, compared with 4.5 grams for most ancient gold coins.

In Ariel’s words, This extraordinary coin was apparently not in popular or commercial use, but had a symbolic function, possibly related to a festival in honor of Queen Arsinoe, who was deified in her lifetime.The coin's denomination is called a mnaieion, meaning a one-mina coin, and is equivalent to 100 silver drachms, or a mina of silver. The reverse side of the coin depicts two overlapping cornucopias (horns-of-plenty) decorated with fillets.It is rare to find Ptolemaic coins in Israel dating after the country came under Seleucid rule in 200 BCE, Ariel explained. The only other gold Ptolemaic coin from an excavation in Israel (from Akko) dates from the period of Ptolemaic hegemony, in the third century BCE, and weighs less than two grams.The excavations at Tel Kedesh, conducted since 1997, have uncovered a large Persian/Hellenistic administrative building, complete with reception halls, dining facilities, store rooms and an archive. While the documents in the archive were not preserved, the excavations yielded 2043 seal impressions, from which the flourishing of the Hellenistic phase of the building can be dated to the first half of the second century BCE.About three years ago, an Alexandrine hoard of Ptolemaic gold coins appeared on the world antiquities market. No coins of Ptolemy V were included in that hoard, however, so the extreme rarity of the mnaieion from Tel Kedesh remains unimpaired.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Jews Sound Off against Iran’s New Holocaust Denial Website
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu AUG 11,10

Jews have come out swinging against a new Iranian Holocaust denial website, which the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) called a virtual cesspool of anti-Semitism. The ADL called on the U.S. government to publicly condemn the latest anti-Jewish offensive in the Islamic Republic.The HoloCartoon site mocks the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were murdered in gas chambers, death marches, by hunger and by other forms of torture. It also displays cartoons showing Jews with hook-nosed worms tunneling holes in history books, and another caricature displays fake bodies at a concentration camp.It is rife with anti-Semitic imagery, Jewish conspiracy theories, Holocaust denial and factual inaccuracies,the ADL commented. HoloCartoon is a pernicious website replete with vicious anti-Semitism and caricatures of Jews fabricating the Holocaust story to advance their goals, and depictions of Jews as murderers and manipulative money worshippers.Its pseudo-history makes a mockery of the Holocaust and the site is little more than a virtual cesspool of anti-Semitism.

The website introduces the viewer to a Pink Panther theme song and tries to show that the killing of 6 million Jews in the Second World War known as the Holocaust was a sheer lie.The site is dedicated to all those who have been killed under the pretext of the Holocaust,Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reported.ADL director Abe Foxman, a Holocaust survivor, said, This type of anti-Semitism is the calling card of the Iranian regime and a reflection of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who continues a drumbeat of Holocaust denial and Jew-bashing.Israel’s Yad VaShem Holocaust Memorial Museum stated,The vulgar and cynical approach of the website, a combination of Holocaust denial and distortion, illustrated with anti-Semitic caricatures, further illustrates Iran’s disregard for reality and truth vis-à-vis the Holocaust, Jews and Israel.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Gaza: Goods Aplenty, Low Prices, No Buyers
by Hillel Fendel AUG 11,10

The Hamas terrorist government of Gaza announced the arrival on Monday evening of a European medical convoy of ships entitled Miles of Smiles II. The ships held 45 supporters – not 70 European politicians, as organizer Issam Yousef originally said - from seven countries, who brought 45 ambulances and over 50 other vehicles loaded with medical goods and equipment worth an estimated one million euros.The boats docked in the Egyptian Sinai port of El Arish, which is rapidly becoming the main drop-off point for ships laden with Gaza-bound goods.Yousef, who serves as deputy foreign minister for Hamas in Gaza, said that more aid convoys were expected to arrive in Gaza during the month of Ramadan, which begins today.A British delegation of 60 members arrived in Gaza beforehand in order to coordinate the arrival of Miles of Smiles with the Hamas leadership.Other recent or soon-to-arrive aid shipments for Gaza include:
-the Al-Quds IV convoy from Libya, to be followed by Al Quds V at the end of Ramadan
-a Malaysian delegation that arrived in Cairo on its way to Gaza, bringing clothing and medical equipment
-an Algerian ship with 85 containers of food and medical equipment
-and a Syrian convoy with five trucks and 116 tons of food.

In addition, the Inter-Arab Parliament has decided to dispatch three aid convoys to Gaza: One at the beginning of Ramadan, one in October with school supplies, and one at the end of December.Israel continues to send to Gaza 200-300 truckloads of food and supplies each day. It appears that in honor of Ramadan, the markets in Gaza are bustling with cheaply-priced goods – yet buyers are sparse, because of rampant unemployment in Hamas-run Gaza.A month ago, Israel’s Cabinet approved 31 Gaza aid projects in principle,and plans to OK 45 more in the near future.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Tropical depression weakens slightly in the Gulf
AUG 11,10

MIAMI – A tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico has weakened slightly as it moves toward the site of the oil spill off Louisiana's coast.The depression's maximum sustained winds decreased to near 30 mph (45 kph) Wednesday. But the National Hurricane Center says some strengthening is still possible and it could become Tropical Storm Danielle before its center reaches land.A tropical storm warning has been issued for much of the Gulf Coast from Destin, Fla., to Intracoastal City, La., including New Orleans.The depression is located about 165 miles (265 kilometers) east-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River and is moving northwest.Officials have halted drilling on a relief well intended to permanently plug the blown-out well in the Gulf.

1 person missing in storm-flooded Iowa creek
AUG 11,10

DES MOINES, Iowa – Authorities say one person remains missing after three cars were swept away in raging floodwaters in a storm-swollen creek in central Iowa.Polk County spokesman A.J. Munn says 11 people were in the cars that were washed away about 10 miles northeast of Des Moines, and that 10 of them have been accounted for Wednesday morning.Munn says it could be hours before the fast-moving water is safe enough for divers to resume their search.He says the sheriff's office used a global positioning system to track a 911 call from someone in one of the cars around 4 a.m., and sent rescue crews to the scene.Thunderstorms overnight dumped up to 6 inches of rain on parts of Iowa.

Death toll in China landslides rises to 1,117 By DAVID WIVELL, Associated Press Writer - AUG 11,10

ZHOUQU, China – Heavy rains lashed a remote section of northwestern China as the death toll from weekend flooding that triggered massive landslides jumped to 1,117, although the fading hopes of rescuers got a boost late Wednesday when a survivor was found in the debris.The state-run Xinhua News Agency gave no immediate details on the survivor, found nearly four days after the disaster struck. Earlier Wednesday, a 50-year-old man was rescued who had been trapped in knee-deep mud on the second floor of a hotel, Xinhua said.Local officials were cited as saying at least 627 people were still missing.The National Meteorological Center warned there was a relatively large chance of more landslides in the coming days, as heavier rain was expected, with up to 3 1/2 inches (90 millimeters) forecast for Friday.Troops and rescue teams, joined by traumatized survivors, were increasingly turning to recovering bodies and seeing to the needs of the living. Clean drinking water was a primary concern, with most local sources destroyed or too polluted to use.

Entire communities in Gansu province's Zhouqu district were swallowed when the debris-choked Bailong River jumped its banks early Sunday, releasing wave after wave of mud and rubble-strewn water. While torrential rains were the direct cause, tree cutting that left the dry hills exposed and the weakening of cliff faces by a massive 2008 earthquake were seen as contributing factors.Buildings were torn from their foundations, their lower floors blown out by the force of the debris-laden water. Three villages comprising hundreds of households were entirely buried and much of the county seat was submerged.In some households, all the people have died, making the counting of the dead more difficult, Zhang Weixing, a Ministry of Civil Affairs official, told a news conference Wednesday.Crews using explosives and excavators rushed to drain an unstable lake on the Bailong upriver of Zhouqu, fearing more rain could cause a massive breach, bringing more misery to the town.The danger of the barrier lake collapsing has been basically eliminated, Jiao Yong, deputy vice minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, told the news conference.

Disinfectant crews in protective suits sprayed chemicals across the ground and over machinery, the smell of death heavy in the air. State media reported numerous cases of dysentery, while infected injuries, a lack of sanitation, clean drinking water and accumulating garbage increased the risk of typhoid, cholera and other diseases. But the deputy director of the Health Ministry's emergency office, Zhang Guoxin, said there have been no reports of an epidemic outbreak.Rescue crews have been largely reliant on hand tools, with heavy equipment either unable to traverse the difficult terrain or mired in mud up to several yards (meters) deep.But roads reopened Wednesday, allowing in heavy earth-moving equipment and supplies.At least 45,000 people have evacuated their homes, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs reported the delivery of 30,000 tents to the area, with thousands more on the way. Zhouqu has a population of 134,000, but it wasn't clear how many needed emergency shelter.Shen Si, a member of the Tibetan ethnic group native to the area, watched forlornly as troops dug to reach the bodies of her relatives inside their buried home.My mother and father in their 60s and my younger brother, all three of them, are buried here in our house still,she said.Throughout the area, bodies were seen wrapped in blankets and tied to sticks or placed on planks and left on the shattered streets for pickup.

The death toll rose to 1,117, up from 702 reported on Tuesday.China's leadership has ordered teams to continue the search for survivors, and the ruling Communist Party's all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee met Tuesday to discuss rescue and relief work.It is now a critical time ... we must give the highest prominence to the protection of people's lives and properties,it said in a statement. Flooding in China has killed more than 2,000 people this year and caused tens of billions of dollars in damage across 28 provinces and regions.

Magnitude 6 earthquake shakes Vanuatu: No damage
AUG 11,10

CANBERRA, Australia – The U.S Geological Survey says a magnitude 6 earthquake has shaken Vanuatu — a day after a stronger quake off the South Pacific island nation generated a small tsunami.The Wednesday quake was too small to cause a tsunami and there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. A statement says the quake's epicenter was 46 miles (73 kilometers) northwest of the capital Port Vila and 25 miles (41 kilometers) deep.A powerful 7.5 magnitude quake off Vanuatu on Tuesday generated a small tsunami, shook buildings and brought down power lines. There was no major damage or serious injuries.

Russian wildfires raise Chernobyl radiation fears By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV, Associated Press Writer - AUG 11,10

MOSCOW – Russian emergency workers have increased forest patrols in a western region contaminated by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, trying to prevent wildfires that could spread harmful radiation, officials said Wednesday.Greenpeace and other environmental groups and forest experts say radioactive dust from the Chernobyl disaster could be harmful, even though doses would likely be small.Fire crews quickly extinquished about six new wildfires spotted this week in the Bryansk region, the part of Russia that suffered the most from the Chernobyl catastrophe in what was then Soviet Ukraine, Emergency Situations Ministry spokeswoman Irina Yegorushkina said. Her agency also had reported sporadic wildfires last week, but said all had been put out.She said radiation experts from Moscow determined there has been no increase in radiation levels in the Bryansk area, on the border of Belarus and Ukraine. The soil holds radioactive particles that settled after the Chernobyl nuclear power plant's reactor No. 4 exploded during a pre-dawn test on April 26, 1986, spewing radioactive clouds over much of the western Soviet Union and northern Europe.Environmentalists have warned that the particles could be thrown into the air by wildfires and blown into other areas by the wind.

Emergency Situations Minister Sergei Shoigu acknowledged the danger last week, but said Wednesday the situation here is not as difficult as in the areas around Moscow, where acrid clouds of smog from the fires have polluted the air.Hundreds of wildfires sparked by the hottest summer ever recorded in Russia have engulfed large areas of western Russia. Moscow's death rate has doubled to 700 people a day. Morgues have been overflowing, and residents have been desperately seeking ways to stay cool amid soaring temperatures and air pollution.About 165,000 workers and 39 firefighting aircraft were battling more than 600 blazes nationwide Wednesday over 220,000 acres (more than 90,000 hectares), the Emergency Situations Ministry said.In several southwestern regions hit by the Chernobyl fallout, fires have engulfed about 9,600 acres (3,900 hectares), though most of those blazes have been snuffed out, said Vasily Tuzov, a deputy head of the federal forest protection service.He said it wouldn't be clear if fires had spread radioactive particles into previously unpolluted areas until workers had conducted tests. All we know now is that there have been fires in the areas with higher radiation levels,he told The Associated Press.But Emergency Situations Ministry official Vladislav Bolov insisted Wednesday that a check of the areas contaminated by Chernobyl this week proved the fires had not spread any radiation, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.The Bryansk forest protection service has increased patrols around the Bryansk forests, particularly in the southwest section affected by Chernobyl, agency chief Vladimir Rozinkevich said. There is a danger, but we are controlling the situation,he said.A Russian forest expert said the mixture of radioactive elements remaining in the forest floor was still dangerous.A cloud may come up with soot and spread over a huge territory, said Alexander Isayev of the Moscow-based Center for Forest Ecology and Productivity.In Vienna, the International Atomic Energy Agency said it had no comment on the radioactive dangers posed by the wildfires.Associated Press reporters Mansur Mirovalev in Moscow and Rafael Gurbisz in Vienna contributed to this report.

POISONED WATERS

REVELATION 8:8-11
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood:(bitter,Poisoned) and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.(poisoned)

REVELATION 16:3-7
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.(enviromentalists won't like this result)
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they(False World Church and Dictator) have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Storm delays BP relief well by 2-3 days
By Kristen Hays - AUG 11,10

HOUSTON (Reuters) – An approaching storm in the Gulf of Mexico will delay by two to three days BP Plc's work on a relief well, the final step in permanently killing the source of the world's worst offshore oil spill, the top U.S. spill official said on Tuesday.BP suspended work on the relief well aiming to bore into its blown-out Macondo well hours before the National Hurricane Center said a tropical depression formed over the Gulf of Mexico.Computer models forecast the depression would move northwest, crossing the spill site before making landfall in Louisiana or elsewhere along the north-central Gulf coast by Wednesday night or early Thursday.This could potentially delay the final portion of the relief well for two to three days, retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen told reporters earlier on Tuesday after the hurricane center said a tropical depression was likely.Separately, a special judicial panel ruled that a New Orleans federal judge would oversee a swath of civil lawsuits brought by commercial fishermen and injured workers from the Deepwater Horizon rig, which exploded on April 20, killing 11 workers and unleashing a nearly three-month undersea oil gusher.Securities lawsuits lobbed at BP by stockholders angered by its steep share price declines will be combined in Houston, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation decided. The British energy giant has lost over a third of its market value since the explosion.

BP has reserved $32.2 billion to pay legal claims, but analysts said the eventual bill could run well above that.The biggest U.S. environmental response operation passed a critical milestone last week by subduing the blown-out deepwater well with injections of heavy drilling mud, followed by a cement seal.BP's Macondo well, a mile down in the Gulf of Mexico, had been provisionally capped on July 15 after spewing an estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf, soiling marshlands, fisheries and tourist beaches along several hundreds of miles (kilometers) of the Gulf Coast.The relief well is regarded as the final solution to plug the well 13,000 feet beneath the seabed.The storm could delay until the middle of next week the start of the planned bottom kill of the Macondo well, when the relief well is scheduled to intersect the well shaft, Allen said.The actual kill operation still could take several days, officials say. The original schedule would have had the work starting by Sunday.The enormous spill response operation is moving into a new phase to focus on shoreline cleanup and long-term recovery, Allen said. Crews are in the process of removing protective booms from the shores of Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, he said.The government on Tuesday reopened 5,144 square miles (13,323 sq km) of Gulf waters to commercial and recreational fishing.About 22 percent of federal waters in the Gulf are now closed, down from 37 percent at the height of the spill.(Additional reporting by Anna Driver in Houston, Martha Graybow in New York, Tom Hals in Wilmington, Delaware and Tom Brown in Miami; Writing by Chris Baltimore; Editing by Peter Cooney)

Tropical depression halts drilling at Gulf well By JEFFREY COLLINS and HARRY R. WEBER, Associated Press Writer - AUG 11,10

NEW ORLEANS – Drilling the final feet of a relief well intended to permanently plug the busted BP oil well deep below the Gulf of Mexico will have to wait two to three days as a tropical depression bears down on the site.BP and Coast Guard officials had already decided to stop drilling earlier Tuesday, before forecasters at the National Hurricane Center named the storm a depression. A tropical storm warning was issued for much of the Gulf Coast affected by the oil spill, from Destin, Fla., to Intracoastal City, La., and included New Orleans.The center of the storm was located off Florida, about 165 miles east-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River on Wednesday. The depression had weakened slightly Wednesday morning, but the National Hurricane Center in Miami said it could still become Tropical Storm Danielle before reaching the coast.Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the government's point man on the spill, said the last steps will have to wait for ending any threat from the well that spewed more than 200 million gallons of oil over three months before a temporary cap sealed it in mid-July.Crews will pop in a temporary plug to safeguard what they've drilled so far, but they won't send workers back to land. They have about 30 to 50 feet left to drill.The relief well is meant to allow BP PLC to pump mud and cement into the broken one from deep underground for a so-called bottom kill, a permanent seal that would complement a plug injected into the top of the well last week.Allen has insisted for days that BP go ahead with the bottom kill, even though the top plug appeared to be holding. On Tuesday, though, he said testing still needs to be done on the well before a final decision is made.I'm not sure we know that ... I don't want to prejudge whether we are going to do it or not going to do it. It will be conditions-based.

He later assigned a very low probability to the bottom kill not being done, but then said: We will let everybody know if that changes.BP Senior Vice President Kent Wells said it's really a possibility that cement engineers pumped in through the top went down into the reservoir, came back up and plugged the annulus, which is between the inner piping and the outer casing.Allen also said officials were removing some boom that had been put out to catch oil in Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. He said the boom will be put it in storage and available for future use if necessary.The delay from the storm came on the same day that anglers and tourism operators got some good news: Federal authorities announced that about 5,000 square miles of Gulf along Florida's Panhandle was reopened for commercial and recreational fishing.Jane Lubchenco, administrator of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, said the expanse from east of Pensacola to Cape San Blas and extending south into the open Gulf was safe for fishing. No oil has been observed in those waters since July 3, though testing will continue.The spill started with an April 20 explosion that sank the BP-leased drilling rig Deepwater Horizon and killed 11 workers.More than 300 lawsuits filed in the aftermath against BP and other companies will be handled by a federal judge in New Orleans, a judicial panel said Tuesday.An order issued Tuesday by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation said 77 cases plus more than 200 potential tag-along actions will be transferred to U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier.The judicial panel's order says the federal court based in New Orleans is the best place for the litigation because southeast Louisiana is the geographic and psychological center of gravity for the cases.

No agreement on direct Israel-Palestinian talks By MARK LAVIE, Associated Press Writer - AUG 11,10

JERUSALEM – There is still no decision to resume direct Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, President Barack Obama's envoy acknowledged Wednesday, despite optimism in Washington that agreement was close.Officials in Washington had hoped that envoy George Mitchell's current two-day round of separate talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders would be the last before peace talks are restarted.Mitchell met Wednesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who repeated his call for direct negotiations.Mitchell said, Well, we share your objective, as you know, and we are continuing our efforts.Netanyahu replied, So let's get on with it.In Washington, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton echoed Mitchell's assessment. We continue to work closely with both sides to get to direct talks as soon as possible,she said, describing the Mitchell-Netanyahu session as a good, productive meeting.Afterward, an Israeli official said there was no breakthrough, putting the blame on the Palestinians. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because no government statement was made.Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat rejected the Israeli charge. The key is in Netanyahu's hands, he told The Associated Press. He said the meeting between Mitchell and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday was constructive and very positive.Palestinians are demanding frameworks for the talks that include a total freeze on construction in Israeli settlements and a commitment to the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem.Israel's partial freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank, imposed to spur the talks, expires Sept. 26, and Netanyahu has indicated that it will not be extended.

Israel's ceremonial president, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shimon Peres, spoke out Wednesday in favor of direct talks, which he said would serve the interests of peace and peaceful coexistence.He spoke after talks in Sofia Wednesday with Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov. Peres said Bulgaria could serve as the venue for the negotiations.Israel is insisting on talks with no preconditions, balking at previous international statements and frameworks that might have massaged the differences.The last direct talks ended in late 2008 after a year of negotiations. Israel proposed a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip, parts of Jerusalem and almost all of the West Bank with territorial exchanges. Erekat has said the Palestinians made a counterproposal to the U.S.Since then, however, the more hawkish Netanyahu has taken power. He has revoked the earlier Israeli proposal and would likely offer much less to the Palestinians.Associated Press writers Matthew Lee in Washington and Fisnik Abrashi in Sofia, Bulgaria, contributed to this report.
