Israel rejects criticism of new Jerusalem housing
APBy IAN DEITCH - Associated Press | AP – SEPT 28,11
JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli government on Wednesday rejected international criticism of its decision to build 1,100 new Jewish housing units in east Jerusalem, claiming the plans do not hinder peace efforts with the Palestinians.Israel announced Tuesday that it had given the green light for the new construction in the Jewish neighborhood of Gilo in southeast Jerusalem. The Palestinians condemned the plan, and the U.S., European Union and United Nations all swiftly expressed their disappointment over the settlements, which raised already heightened tensions after last week's Palestinian move to seek U.N. membership.In every peace plan that has been put on the table over the last 18 years, Gilo remains an integral part of Jewish Jerusalem, said Mark Regev, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. There is no contradiction between this planning decision and the government's desire to move forward in peace toward two states for two peoples.Gilo is not a settlement, nor is it an outpost, Gilo is a neighborhood in the very heart of Jerusalem, only about a 5 minute drive from the very center of town.The Palestinians have demanded that Israel halt all settlement construction in east Jerusalem, which the Palestinians claim as their future capital, and the adjacent West Bank — territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war — as a condition for resuming peace talks.
Since capturing east Jerusalem, Israel has annexed the area and ringed it with about 10 Jewish enclaves that are meant to solidify its control. Gilo, which is close to the Palestinian city of Bethlehem, is among the largest, with about 50,000 residents. Israel's annexation of east Jerusalem has not been internationally recognized.Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, said Tuesday after the Israeli housing announcement that the decision amounted to 1,100 no's to the resumption of peace talks.With peace negotiations stalled for the past three years, the Palestinians last week asked the U.N. Security Council to recognize an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip.The U.S. has vowed to veto the Palestinian request in the Security Council. Both Israel and the U.S. say a Palestinian state can be established only through negotiations.
The fate of east Jerusalem is the most explosive issue in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The sector is home to Jerusalem's Old City, which houses sensitive Jewish, Muslim and Christian holy sites.Netanyahu says he will never relinquish east Jerusalem, which Israel considers an integral part of its capital. The Palestinian leadership has vowed it will not accept a state without key parts of east Jerusalem as its capital.In all, about 200,000 Jews live in east Jerusalem areas that Israel calls neighborhoods and the Palestinians call settlements. Squeezed between them are Arab neighborhoods that are home to some 250,000 Palestinians.Also Wednesday, Israeli authorities said that Palestinian assailants are to blame for a car crash that killed an Israeli father and his infant son in the West Bank last week on the eve of the Palestinian bid for recognition at the United Nations.Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the investigation found that the Israeli man lost control of his car after he was hit in the head by a stone. Palestinian youths regularly throw stones at Israeli cars in the West Bank.The crash was initially thought to have been an accident.
UN Council buys time on Palestine membership bid
AFPAFP – SEPT 28,11
The UN Security Council on Wednesday pushed back a decision on the Palestinian bid to join the United Nations in a move that will give more time to international efforts to revive direct talks.But UN envoys for the two foes wrangled over who is to blame for the latest year-old negotiations deadlock, with diplomats warning both sides are hardening their positions.The 15-member Security Council sent the bid made by Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas last Friday to a special membershp committee to give its verdict.A full session of the council met for barely two minutes in the first public discussion of the bid that the United States has vowed to veto when it comes to a vote.Unless I hear a proposal to the contrary I shall send the application of Palestine to the committee on new members, said Lebanon's UN ambassador Nawaf Salam, president of the council for September. No comments were made and Salam hurriedly brought the gavel down to get the meeting over.The membership committee, made up of all 15 council nations, will hold its first meeting on Friday.Abbas was given a standing ovation in the UN General Assembly last Friday after making the historic application.The United States and Israel, strongly opposing the bid, say only direct Israel-Palestinian talks can create a Palestinian state.The diplomatic Quartet on the Middle East -- the United States, Russia, European Union and United Nations -- has since launched a new campaign to get the two sides back into talks with a set timetable.Palestinians ended US-brokered talks one year ago when Israel ended a moratorium on settlement construction in the occupied territories. Israel's approval of another 1,100 homes in East Jerusalem has further infuriated the Palestinian leadership.
Palestinian envoy to the UN, Riyad Mansour, called the construction offensive, provocative and illegal and 1,100 answers to thwart the efforts to revive talks.He said it was a clear answer by the Israeli government to the Quartet, to negotiation and to the refusal to abide by the global consensus on the fact that settlements are an illegal obstacle to peace.Ron Prosor, Israel's UN ambassador, said the Palestinians are using every pretext in order not to find a reason not to go into negotiations.Is it easy, the answer is no. Is it frustrating -- yes. Do we have sleepless nights, yes. But at the end of the day that is the only way forward,he said of the talks process.When asked about the approval of new settlements, Prosor said Israel was ready to negotiate on Jerusalem with other final status topics.
Israeli officials have signalled a hardline on East Jerusalem however and Prosor told reporters: Jerusalem, I would like to stress, that is the capital of the Jewish people. This is our heart. Jerusalem, if I may say so, was the capital of the Jewish people when London was still a swamp.The ambassador acknowledged that Israel is working with the United States to get Security Council members to oppose or abstain in any vote on Palestinian membership.Yes we are both working, and truthfully, on both sides to have a bloc of countries that basically would say ladies and gentlemen go back to direct negotiations, sit down and talk this thing with each other,the ambassador told reporters.The Palestinians are also sending high level delegations to council members such as Gabon, Bosnia and Nigeria.
Ashton shows pro-Palestinian side at EU parliament
Today SEPT 28,11 @ 09:16 By Andrew Rettman
EU foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton showed her pro-Palestinian sympathies at the European Parliament on Tuesday (27 September) as MEPs get set to back the UN upgrade.She began the meeting in Strasbourg with a formal statement against Israel's new decision to build 1,100 Jewish housing units on Palestinian land at its Gilo settlement.This plan should be reversed. Settlement activity threatens the viability of an agreed two-state solution and runs contrary to the Israeli stated commitment to resume negotiations, she said.She later added on a personal note: I have condemned settlement activity every time it was announced - I have made six statements this year, plus one Quartet [a joint EU, Russia, UN and US body] statement plus the comment today ... Each time I have met him [Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu] I have told him settlements are illegal under international law.
She also praised Palestinian leaders Mahmoud Abbas and Salam Fayyad: They are people who hold the values we hold dear in their hearts. They believe in the values we hold ... I believe Israel could do no better than negotiate with them.Pro-Israeli countries such as the Netherlands have said Ashton is not a neutral broker in talks on whether the EU should back Palestine's bid to join the UN. Her own officials say she was deeply affected by Palestinian hardships on recent visits to Gaza and the West Bank.MEPs will on Thursday vote on a draft resolution which says the EU assembly: Supports and calls on member states to be united in addressing the legitimate demand of the Palestinian people to be represented as a state at the United Nations.The text already has the backing of the socialist, liberal, green and far-left groups. The language is designed to accommodate various opinions - socialists say Palestine should get full UN membership, while liberals say they should become a non-member state.The biggest group, the centre-right EPP, is still making up its mind. But senior EPP figures, such as German deputy Hans-Gert Poettering and Dutch member Ria Oomen-Ruijten, spoke up for Palestine in the plenary debate.Meanwhile, EU countries have voiced clear divisions at the UN in New York over the past week. Ten (Belgium, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Spain and Sweden) are on the pro-upgrade side. Five (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Italy, Romania and the UK) have indicated they would vote No. The rest are keeping quiet.Provocative of Israel to announce new settlements in East Jerusalem now. Clearly contrary to Middle East peace Quartet demand, Swedish foreign minister Carl Bldt tweeted on Tuesday.For his part, Netanyahu in an interview with the Jerusalem Post the same day showed little interest in what the EU thinks. We plan in Jerusalem. We build in Jerusalem. Period. The same way Israeli governments have been doing for years - since the end of the 1967 war,he said.

Parliament approves economic governance six-pack
Today SEPT 28,11 @ 17:43 By Leigh Phillips
After almost a year since the European Commission first proposed a package of laws radically centralising economic decision-making in the European Union, the legislative process approving the so-called ‘six-pack’ of bills has finally come to an end with the European Parliament giving its assent on Wednesday (28 September).
Aiming to prevent future sovereign debt crises, the six-pack gives the European Commission new powers to slap fines on countries that flout rules on racking up high public debts and deficits.The parliament emerged largely victorious in its battle with the member states, and in particular France, to give the EU executive the power to impose sanctions that can only be blocked by a majority of votes amongst eurozone states.A majority of MEPs in the conservative-dominated chamber worried that requiring approval by the Council before warnings could be issued to a country would lead to back-room deals in which countries needing to reform their budgetary policies would be let off the hook.In the end, a country warning will be issued if a vote in the Council is not taken within 10 days of a commission notice. If the Council decides to overturn the commission’s decision, they will now have to appear before the European Parliament and defend their rejection in public.The chamber also won the right to request the presence of finance ministers from countries that have received a warning to a dressing down in the parliament.The vote in the full sitting of the chamber however was close, as parties on the left voted against or abstained on some aspects of the package, believing there to be insufficient balance between market requirements and social needs.The left however did win a victory via the parliament’s insistence that the commission consider not merely countries with high trade deficits, but also those running current-account surpluses.Germany and the Netherlands have crowed that such imbalances result from their successful economic management and should not need investigation. However, some economists argue that the core of Europe has engaged in mercantilist policies that are the flip-side of heavy debts in the eurozone periphery and are every bit as dangerous.
The president of the parliament, conservative Polish MEP Jerzy Buzek cheered the result, declaring: We have developed a powerful and resistant armour against any future crisis,Liberal MEP Sylvie Goulard, one of the deputies to shepherd the legislation through the house, said that the bloc needed to go further still in terms of economic integration.This is not the end of the story. We will need to take further steps. But we have built a new system with this package today which will allow the EU institutions to work better together and will increase transparency, she said.The Socialists spokesman for economic affairs, Udo Bullmann, said that the vote today would have drastic consequences for European citizens.We think there exists another path out of the crisis. The reform is an austerity pact ... that leaves no margin of manoeuvre for EU states for intelligent spending and targeted investment. Some 78 civil society organisations including anti-poverty NGOs and trade unions issued an open letter on Wednesday denouncing the moves as anti-democratic.The proposals will enable EU institutions to make decisions on member states' budgets, economic policy priorities as well as on labour and social rights with little democratic debate, or accountability, the signatories, including France’s CGT union, UK-based Tax Justice Network and Attac Denmark, to the letter said.
EU hushes talk of multi-trillion bail-out ahead of German vote Today SEPT 28,11 @ 09:29 By Leigh Phillips
European politicians are trying to avoid too much talk of a multi-trillion-euro revamp of the eurozone’s crisis strategy ahead of a crunch vote in the German parliament, with the German finance minister denying plans for such an increase to the bail-out fund and French ministers saying it is necessary to stay quiet until after the vote.On Tuesday, German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told N-TV: We do not intend to increase it, and separately called such moves stupid.I don't understand how anyone in the European Commission can have such a stupid idea. The result would be to endanger the AAA sovereign debt ratings of other member states. It makes no sense, he said.It is understood that European leaders are considering a plan to leverage the European Financial Stability Fund via the European Central Bank. The sums mentioned are in the range of €2 trillion, although sources have told EUobserver, the figures are still in flux and that more than one option is on the table.Meanwhile, changes strengthening the EFSF agreed by eurozone leaders in July have yet to be approved by the Bundestag. A vote is scheduled for Thursday.
French finance minister Francois Baroin for his part said that a public discussion of the issue could not happen before Germany votes
It is out of the question to put forward, three days from the Bundestag (lower house) vote, the issue of whether we should increase the fund, he said.Let's not open Pandora's box on something that is a red flag for Germany.Meanwhile, Prime Minister Francois Fillon told the French parliament that plans to tackle speculative attacks would be unveiled after the German vote.A straw poll amongst MPs from German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s CDU and sister party in the CSU group in the chamber showed how tight the vote could be.Some 11 MPs voted against moves to alter the EFSF’s rules, according to a report from Reuters, while two abstained. The news agency quoted unnamed sources that predicted between two and five nays from the coalition’s Free Democrat junior partner and a further six abstentions. If 19 deputies vote against or abstain, Merkel will have to depend on opposition Social Democrat and Green votes, a development that could fatally wound the Merkel administration.Separately, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou travelled to Berlin to meet with his German counterpart and delivered a rousing speech to German industrial leaders in an attempt to rally spirits in the key European economy.I promise you, we Greeks will soon fight our way back to growth and prosperity after this period of pain,he told the Federation of German Industries.The eurozone must now take bold steps toward fiscal integration to stabilise the monetary union. Let's not allow those who are betting against the euro to succeed,he said.Merkel for her part stressed that Berlin will not abandon Athens: We will provide all the help desired from the German side so that Greece regains trust.If the stability of the euro is at stake - and the experience of the last few years shows that the difficulties of one country endanger our common currency – then that obliges us to show solidarity within the common currency.We want a strong Greece in the eurozone… Germany is ready to give all the help that is required.

Iran plans to send ships close to US waters: report
AFPAFP – Tue, Sep 27, 2011
Iran's navy is going to deploy ships close to US territorial waters, its commander in chief was quoted as saying on Tuesday.As the global oppression (the US) is present not far from our maritime border ... our navy is going to have a strong presence not far from US territorial waters, the Irna news agency quoted Admiral Habibollah Sayyari as saying.On July 19 Sayyari also said that Iran was going to send a flotilla into the Atlantic.The remarks come as another high-ranking Iranian appeared to reject a recent US request to establish a red phone link between the countries to avoid unwanted confrontation between their armed forces in the Gulf region.When we are in the Gulf of Mexico, we will establish direct contact with the United States, Ali Fadavi, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, was quoted in press reports as saying.In the view of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the presence of the US in the Persian Gulf is illegitimate and makes no sense.The Iranian navy has been developing its presence in international waters since last year, regularly launching vessels in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden to protect Iranian ships from Somali pirates operating in the area.Iran also sent two ships into the Mediterranean for the first time in February, via the Suez Canal, to the annoyance of Israel and the United States.And in July, leaders announced that a Kilo class submarine had completed an inaugural mission in the southern Indian Ocean and the Red Sea.
Iran says it delivers new cruise missiles to navy
APBy ALI AKBAR DAREINI - Associated Press | AP – SEPT 28,11
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran said Wednesday it has begun large-scale production of a domestically-developed cruise missile designed for sea-based targets and capable of destroying warships.Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi said an unspecified number of the missiles, called Ghader, or Capable in Farsi, were delivered to the Iranian military and the powerful Revolutionary Guard's naval division, which is assigned to protect Iran's sea borders.Vahidi said the missile, which has a range of 124 miles (200 kilometers), can travel at low altitudes and "can sink giant warships. The comments appeared to suggest that the new missile could potentially counter the U.S. naval presence in the Persian Gulf.The West is already concerned about Iran's military capabilities, especially the implications of the country's disputed nuclear program. The U.S. and some of its allies, and as the U.N. nuclear agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency, fear that Iran is trying to produce a nuclear weapon. Tehran denies the charges.Iran's growing arsenal includes short and medium range ballistic missiles that are capable of hitting targets in the region such as Israel and U.S. military bases in the Gulf.Iran frequently makes announcements about new advances in military technology that cannot be independently verified.Iran began a military self-sufficiency program in 1992, under which it produces a large range of weapons, including tanks, missiles, jet fighters, unmanned drone aircraft and torpedoes.
EU pushes for global financial trading tax
APBy PAN PYLAS - AP Business Writer | AP – SEPT 28,11
LONDON (AP) — Taxing financial trades has been touted as a panacea for all kinds of global ills, a cash source to fight poverty and global warming. But the latest European attempt to introduce a worldwide standard 40 years after it was first conceived is facing stiff opposition from the U.S. and Britain.Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the EU's executive arm, on Wednesday threw his weight behind the tax that his office estimated could raise euro57 billion ($77 billion) a year in Europe to help combat a debt crisis that is threatening the euro currency.In the last three years, member states have granted aid and provided guarantees of euro4.6 trillion to the financial sector,Barroso said.It is time for the financial sector to make a contribution back to society.The tax would be a tiny percentage of the value of a trade in assets like stocks and bonds. Although some countries already have a minimal duty on share trading, the new proposal would not only increase the scope and size of the tax but also siphon off some revenue to Brussels.The European Commission has formally backed the tax to take effect from January 2014.As a result of the financial crisis in 2008 and the ensuing recession, debt levels across Europe, and not just in the bailed out countries of Greece, Ireland and Portugal, have risen sharply. Across the 27-nation EU, debt as a percentage of national income has spiked from below 60 percent in 2007 to 80 percent this year.
Though the tax could dent growth and employment, it has won a fair degree of support across the 17-country eurozone, including France and Germany, the EU's two biggest economies.Britain, however, has been adamantly against it unless it is used on a global basis. Its opinion carries weight in the debate because London is the continent's biggest financial center.The argument made by the likes of George Osborne, Britain's finance chief, and echoed last week by his counterpart in the U.S. Timothy Geithner is that the tax just won't work if it's not introduced globally. If it's not, investors can move money quickly to where the tax doesn't need to be paid, saving themselves potentially large sums of money in financial trades.Howard Wheeldon, a senior strategist at BGC Partners, said it's a bad idea to have a trades tax now, especially since many banks are still trying to meet new requirements to beef up capital buffers.The timing is inappropriate; it's something to look at in a few years time, Wheeldon said.Even if Britain and the U.S. decide to opt out, it is possible that the eurozone countries, or at least some of them, may go it alone.I think the eurozone or number of member states would go ahead and do it, and would start it at a low enough level to answer political objections,said Sony Kapoor, managing director of Re-Define, an economic think tank.Some activists campaigning for the tax worry the money may be used solely to fix the world's financial difficulties. They say a large chunk of the revenues should be used for other important issues, such as reducing poverty or fighting global warming.Oxfam International, a long-time proponent of the tax, lauded the European Commission's support ahead of the October 17-18 summit of EU leaders and the Group of 20 meeting of the leaders from the top industrial and developing nations.
The financial transaction tax is moving from rhetoric to reality but a significant part of the revenues should be used as Bill Gates suggested, to help poor countries facing chilling reductions in aid, trade, and investment — not just shore up the EU budget,said Nicolas Mombrial, Oxfam International's EU policy advisor. The multibillionaire Microsoft founder has been commissioned by the G-20 to produce a report on development financing and is considering the potential of the tax.Oxfam's Mombrial also argues that the rate of the tax should be higher than the 0.1 percent levy on shares and bonds proposed by the EU.It's clear that higher rates are perfectly feasible and would raise more money to tackle poverty, Mombrial said, noting that a 0.5 percent tax already applies to share trades in the U.K.The motivations behind the tax are a long way from the designs of Nobel Prize laureate James Tobin, who first made his proposal for the flat tax on currency transactions in the early 1970s when U.S. President Richard Nixon ended the dollar's convertibility to gold and effectively brought an end to the global currency system that had prevailed since World War II.Tobin said at the time that the tax would help limit instability arising from a world of floating exchange rates.Financial transaction taxes, appropriately designed, can not only raise substantial revenue but also enhance stability by discouraging destabilizing trading that serves little economic purpose,Re-Define's Kapoor said.

German MPs back euro crisis powers ReutersBy Stephen Brown and Madeline Chambers | Reuters – SEPT 29,11
BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's parliament approved new powers for the euro zone's crisis fund on Thursday but it was not clear if Angela Merkel got enough votes from her coalition to silence rebels worried about funding a series of bailouts of countries like Greece.Support from the opposition meant there had been no doubt Germany would okay new powers for the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), which some countries like Finland have ratified but others, including Slovakia, are disputing.The Bundestag's (lower house of parliament) deputy speaker Wolfgang Thierse said 523 lawmakers had voted for the bill, 85 against with only three had abstentions.If a breakdown of votes expected take up to an hour more shows the bill only got through thanks to the center-left opposition, it would undermine the conservative chancellor's ability to pilot fresh measures to combat the euro crisis.
Merkel had tried to assure her coalition that taxpayers' money would not be wasted by supporting bailout measures -- but she could not rule out that the money might be written off if, as financial markets increasingly fear, Greece defaults.Germany will shoulder up to 211 billion euros of the fund's 440 billion euros worth of guarantees, but critics fear it is already clear this will not be enough and taxpayers will be asked for more.That impression was reinforced by talk at the International Monetary Fund last weekend of the need to beef up the EFSF even more -- on top of the extra powers decided by European leaders in July -- by leveraging its capital and bring forward the permanent scheme supposed to replace it in mid-2013.Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told the Bundestag (lower house of parliament) in a fiery debate before the vote it was indecent to speculate at this point about Germany being asked to contribute more to the EFSF.We're borrowing money from our children to put in a showcase and it is money that we don't have, said one rebel in Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Klaus-Peter Willsch.
RESCUE THE EURO OR THE FDP
Merkel is often accused in Europe and at home of dithering on the euro crisis and if she did not win the EFSF vote on her own terms, it would damage her hopes of taking the conservative bloc she has led for 11 years into the next elections in 2013.
International auditors return to Athens on Thursday to deliver their verdict on whether Greece's tougher austerity measures qualify for further aid.The chancellor has told Greece she wants to wait for the results of an audit by the troika of the European Union, European Central Bank and IMF to see whether its findings tell us we will have to renegotiate or not.Such talk by Merkel and other German officials may refer to raising the level of private creditor involvement in the Greek bailout, by getting them to accept bigger potential losses -- or haircuts -- on their Greek sovereign bond investments.Senior coalition figures like Economy Minister Philipp Roesler, head of Merkel's Free Democrat (FDP) partners, have already said an orderly Greek default should not be taboo.With a core of naysayers in the CDU, its Bavarian allies the CSU and the FDP, the vote was being scrutinized to see how close Merkel got to a convincing 311 yes votes from her own bloc in the 620-seat Bundestag.If there are more than 19 rebels, Merkel will have passed the EFSF thanks to the center-left opposition and may have to rethink how to address growing discontent among her supporters and the population at large about the euro zone debt crisis.
Sentiment remains divided. Even though labor unions called on MPs to back the measure, the conservatives' Mittelstand small business alliance had urged MPs to vote no.The opposition Social Democrats (SPD) and Greens have won a run of state elections this year and, with two more votes in coming months on the second Greek bailout and a permanent mechanism to succeed the EFSF, portray themselves as defenders of the single currency.With the FDP's popularity sliding to just 2 percent in some recent polls and state elections, and the party increasingly critical of euro zone bailouts, it often appears more of a liability than an asset for Merkel.In the end, the chancellor will have to decide: either she wants to rescue the euro or the FDP, said former SPD foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier of the SPD to Bild newspaper.
Barroso attacks member states, US, banks
Today SEPT 28,11 @ 14:11 By Leigh Phillips
The president of the European Commission has mounted a blistering attack on the leadership of EU member states and the way they have attempted to solve what he called the greatest challenge Europe has faced in its history.In a tub-thumping speech to the European Parliament in Strasbourg pummelling the US, the Council of Ministers’ approach to the crisis and the financial industry, President Jose Manuel Barroso was repeatedly interrupted by loud applause from MEPs.We must be absolutely honest and clear in the analysis of the state of the Union, he said.We are now facing the greatest challenge our Union has ever seen, I believe in its history.He said that in the face of earthquakes that shake the international order, Europe is threatened by a crisis of confidence in our leaders in general, of Europe itself, our ability to find solutions, and warned of the danger of countries leaving the EU and the return of nationalism.Referencing the approaching centenary of the start of the First World War and the dark period that followed, Barroso lambasted what in EU and academic circles is known as intergovernentalism, or a form of European lawmaking that takes place essentially between government leaders and diplomats.The term may appear obscure to ordinary citizens, but since the earliest days of European integration more than five decades ago, the battle between intergovernmentalism and the so-called community method, which would rather privilege the powers of the European institutions and in particular the European Commission over those of national governments.The European Council and the Council of Minsters, which represent the member states is the home of this approach, a way of doing business that Barroso said could be the death of a united Europe.The reality today is that intergovernmental co-operation is not sufficient to get Europe out of this crisis, to give Europe a future. On the contrary, a intergovernmentalism may lead to the re-nationalization and fragmentation,he said.
He argued that it is no longer just the dream of supporters of a European federation - a much deeper level of integration than currently exists - but the markets that are demanding a unification of Europe.We must go further. We need to complete our monetary union with an economic union,he said.It was an illusion to think that we could have a common currency and a single market with national approaches to economic and budgetary policy. Let's avoid another illusion that we can have a common currency and a single market with an intergovernmental approach.The parliament on Wednesday voted in favour of a far-reaching package of six pieces of legislation that the president last year called a silent revolution in European integration. But even as this legislation is set to be enacted, Barroso said Europe needs to go further, and that the commission will be unveiling proposals on deeper economic centralisation in the coming weeks.He championed the commission as the hero of the piece, the economic government of the Union.We need more than ever the independent authority of the commission, which proposes and assesses actions that the member states should take, he continued. Governments, let's be frank, cannot do this by themselves. Nor can this be done by negotiations between governments.The commission is the guarantor of fairness.The president said that it may be necessary to change the EU treaties and abolish unanimous decision-making in the bloc entirely.
It may be necessary to consider further changes to the treaty, he said.I am also thinking particularly of the constraint of unanimity. The pace of our joint endeavour cannot be dictated by the slowest.Today we have a Union where it is the slowest member that dictates the speed of all the other member states ... A member state does not have the right to block the moves of others, the others also have their national sovereignty and if they want to go further, they should go further.He also announced a series of specific measures that the bloc needed to take to solve the ongoing sovereign debt crisis, including the need for a strengthening of mechanisms for crisis resolution with credible firepower and effective firewalls for the euro - hinting at the massive expansion of the bloc’s rescue resources into the trillions of euros, a plan understood to be currently in the works.Barroso called for an acceleration into force of the European Stability Mechanism, the replacement for the current rescue fund scheduled to go online in 2013.As already trailed, he also said that Brussels will present options in the next few weeks for stability bonds, a twist on the calls for from many quarters for eurobonds, or the issuance of debt at the European level. The move is steadfastly opposed by Germany, which fears a rise in its borrowing costs were such a mechanism to materialise.The commission will as well unveil proposals before the end of the year on new rules for credit rating agencies, bank resolution and personal responsibility of financial operatives.
He moved on from his skewering of European capitals to censure foreign governments for their criticisms in recent weeks of Europe’s ability to manage its crisis. US President Barack Obama and US treasury secretary Timothy Geithner have repeatedly pummeled the EU for its dithering.I feel hurt when I see some in other parts of the world, the patronising way they say to us Europeans, what we need to do. I think frankly that we have problems, very serious problems, but I think we do not have to apologise for our democracies. We need not apologise for our social market economy, he said, in a veiled reference to the American criticisms.He called on national EU governments to find in themselves a burst of pride to be European, a burst of dignity and to say our partners Thanks for your advice, but we can all overcome this crisis. I have this pride in being European.The conservative politician renowned for his youth in revolutionary Portugal as a far-left firebrand, rounded out his barbs by laying into the banking sector, using the occasion to announce that the commission had on Wednesday adopted a proposal for a tax on financial transactions, a plan bitterly opposed by the UK.In the last three years, member states - I should say taxpayers - have granted aid and provided guarantees of €4.6 trillion to the financial sector. It is time for the financial sector to make a contribution back to society, adding that in some member states they do pay their fair share.It is a question of fairness. If our farmers, if our workers, if all the sectors of the economy from industry to agriculture to services, if they all pay a contribution to the society also the banking sector should make a contribution to the society.
Calling the current crisis a trial by fire for our entire generation, he said that Europe nevertheless does have a future.Some say it is very difficult, it is not possible. Here I recall the words of a great man, a great African, Nelson Mandela: It always seems impossible, until it is done. Let's do it.. We can do it with confidence, we can do - the renewal of our Europe.
The European Union in crisis; Will it survive?
APBy DON MELVIN - Associated Press | AP – SEPT 28,11
BRUSSELS (AP) — Until recently, the idea that the 27-nation European Union might disintegrate would have been unthinkable, for uniting a continent ripped apart by two World Wars was considered a rousing diplomatic success.But the EU's two most cherished achievements — a common currency and the free movement of people across borders — are under threat. And the possibility that the decades-long experiment that is the EU might not survive in its present form has now entered mainstream debate.The Polish finance minister, Jacek Rostowski, has raised the prospect that the EU might split apart. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said if its common currency, the euro, failed, so too would Europe itself. And experts say the euro's stability is by no means assured: George Osborne, the British chancellor, has said that only a few weeks remain to save it.On Wednesday, Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, described the state of the union in unusually stark terms. The EU, he said, was facing the biggest challenge since its creation.We're in a crucial moment in history, he said.If we do not move forward with more unification, we will suffer more fragmentation.None of these officials is predicting the EU's demise. But it is a measure of the gravity of situation that they are discussing the possibility at all.Since the 1950s, the strengthening of European integration had seem slow and fitful, but also inexorable. In 1951, six countries formed the European Coal and Steel Community. In 1957, they established the European Economic Community.In 1985, the Schengen Agreement was signed with the aim of abolishing checks at the borders between member countries. In 2002, the switch from national currencies to the euro went off without a hitch — and 17 nations now share the common currency.Over time, the EU has grown from six countries to 27, and currently it is home to more than 500 million people.
The challenge now is how to manage a currency that covers 17 countries, and a borderless travel area of 25 — including some nations outside the EU — without strong central governance. As the EU is currently run, decisions must be approved unanimously, meaning a single country can block action.That's why Finland can throw a wrench into the Greek bailout negotiations and why the Netherlands has been able to block Serbian entrance into the group.Without clearer rules, the EU will have to dramatically scale back its ambitions, says Karel Lannoo, the head of the Brussels-based Center for European Policy Studies.It needs to be much more consistent in the way it works as a federal structure, he said Wednesday, citing the U.S. model where the hierarchy between states and the federal government is well-defined.As it is, he said, some EU countries simply do not accept rules they do not like.That same point was made by Barroso in his state of the union speech Wednesday to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, when he pleaded for stronger central governance and decried the constraint of unanimity.The pace of our joint endeavor cannot be dictated by the slowest, he said.These constraints have meant that European officials have consistently reacted more slowly and less decisively to the euro crisis than financial markets would have liked, exacerbating the situation and throwing the future of the euro in doubt. And when countries did not follow EU rules on budget deficits, contributing to the euro debt crisis, no federal structure sanctioned them.Lannoo, the policy analyst, said he was rather pessimistic about the survival of the euro. But he does not agree that the collapse of the euro would mean the collapse of the European Union. It could continue, he says, maybe with fewer members as a free trade zone with common rules but no common currency.Paul de Grauwe, an economics professor and EU expert at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, says the EU faces a stark choice.
One road is more integration to save the project, to save the Schengen zone and the monetary union, de Grauwe said.But there is a lot of opposition. It's also possible that we take the other road, no further integration, and then we risk the collapse of these two experiments.British Foreign Secretary William Hague of the Conservative party, a longtime Euro-skeptic, says the euro was doomed from the start. Britain, which united with other European nations in 1973, never did join the euro and has no plans to now.It was folly to create this system, it will be written about for centuries as a kind of historical monument to collective folly. But it's there and we have to deal with it, Hague was quoted as saying Wednesday in The Spectator magazine.I described the euro as a burning building with no exits and so it has proved for some of the countries in it, he said.The European Union was created out of the ashes of World War II: Its initial goal was to use economic integration to prevent Europe from ever going to war with itself again. By that measure it has succeeded admirably — and for that reason, some politicians greatly fear its demise.
The game is not only about the well-being of this generation or the next generation, but is goes without saying we're also fighting for the safety of this and future generations, said Rostowski, the Polish finance minister. It is difficult to imagine Europe to be as safe as it is now without the European Union.But Barroso, having first raised the specter of fragmentation, told lawmakers he was confident that Europe would summon the political will to survive.I tell you, yes, it is possible to get out of this crisis,he said.Not only is it possible, it's necessary.David Stringer contributed from London.Don Melvin can be reached at http://twitter.com/Don_Melvin

Philippines repairs after typhoon kills 21 AP By HRVOJE HRANJSKI and JIM GOMEZ, Associated Press – Wed Sep 28, 8:07 am ET
MANILA, Philippines – Forecasters sounded alarms over a new storm headed for the Philippines Wednesday, even as workers repaired seawalls demolished by a typhoon that killed at least 21 people and left scores stranded in swamped communities.
Typhoon Nesat also left 35 people missing and brought some of downtown Manila's worst flooding in decades before blowing out of the northern Philippines early Wednesday toward southern China with winds of 75 mph (120 kph).Floodwaters were receding in most places, but many low-lying communities in the north remained in crisis.Mayor Santiago Austria of the rice-farming town of Jaen in Nueva Ecija province appealed to the government for help, saying many people in his community of 63,000 needed to be rescued but that officials there had only four rescue boats.
Many people here are still on top of their houses. We don't have enough boats to reach them and hand them food, Austria said.Civil Defense Office chief Benito Ramos said army troops were on their way to assist Jaen.The town of Obando, north of Manila, remained under waist-high water and officials had not yet been able to check on reports of houses swept away on two nearby islands where thousands of residents live, Mayor Orencio Gabriel said.In all, 320,000 people were affected by the storm, with 73,000 in evacuation centers and about 100 still stranded, officials said.
Meanwhile, a fresh tropical storm was brewing in the Pacific, government forecaster Bobby Javier said, adding that it already had sustained winds of 52 mph (85 kph) and gusts up to 62 mph (100 kph) and was expected to strengthen significantly before hitting major parts of the country in the next few days.Ramos said disaster agencies were being kept on full alert because of the new storm.In Manila, hundreds of workers used cranes to lay sandbags where parts of a downtown seawall were ripped off by the typhoon's huge waves and fierce winds. Residents made repairs to nearly 5,000 houses damaged in the storm.Scavengers rummaged through household items carried by the floodwaters — footwear, a basketball, a child's school bag, a hunter's hat. Mar Depas, 28, said he collected about a dozen fairly new leather shoes and sandals but was disappointed that they didn't match.I can't find their pairs. They're useless, Depas said.I came late ... most of the better recyclable stuff is gone.Typhoon Nesat had unleashed torrents of floodwaters Tuesday that swamped Manila's downtown areas, rapidly engulfing hotels, a hospital, the U.S. Embassy, business offices and several blocks of residential areas in waist-deep floodwaters.Power was gradually restored Wednesday to Manila's downtown area, which strewn with trash and fallen bamboo pieces washed ashore by storm surges. City trains resumed operations.Associated Press writer Oliver Teves contributed to this report.
New Forecast: Sun's Superstorms' Could Doom Satellites SPACE.com Charles Q. Choi, SPACE.com Contributor Space.com – Wed Sep 28, 12:00 pm ET
Magnetic storms set off by the sun could pose a bigger threat than thought to weather, communication, military and other satellites close to Earth, with a potentially devastating economic impact, scientists suggest.In the new study, researchers found that solar radiation can energize a belt of high-energy particles that surrounds Earth more dramatically than previously believed.The study focused on the possible effects of a particularly strong magnetic storm on the Van Allen radiation belts, the dangerous rings of high-energy particles that girdle the Earth. The belts are split into two distinct zones. The outer belt, which is made up of electrons, reaches from about 15,800 to 31,600 miles (25,500 to 51,000 kilometers) above the surface, while the inner belt, which consists of a mix of electrons and protons, reaches from about 4,000 to 8,000 miles (6,400 to 12,800 km) above. [Stunning Photos of Solar Flares & Sun Storms]Scientists had known the outer belt could become far more intense during geomagnetic storms caused by high-energy particles spewed by the sun, such as the storm that supercharged Earth's northern lights display Monday night (Sept. 26). However, they have long thought such storms do not affect the inner belt.Now computer simulations suggest that during a superstorm — which has occurred in the past and is likely to recur in the future ? the electrons in the inner belt, too, could become energized. Near-Earth radiation could then remain dramatically more intense for several years afterward.
The increase in radiation in the inner zone may last for up to a decade and continue damaging satellites for years after a very strong storm, study lead author Yuri Shprits, a space physicist at the University of California, Los Angeles, told SPACE.com.This radiation would damage satellites in that zone and potentially cut their lifetimes by five-sixths or more. [Related: Space Radiation to Rise for Astronauts, Airline Passengers]It would not destroy all satellites at once, Shprits said. However, at least according to our calculations, a very strong storm can increase the radiation dose in the inner zone by a factor of 10, and within a few years we may lose a significant portion of the satellites that traverse the inner zone.In terms of new strategies that might be needed to protect satellite systems, it's hard to say, Shprits said. First of all, we need to estimate risks and estimate cost. If cost is too high, we may want to accept the risks and start getting ready to replenish the fleet in the case of such event.There are a number of rather expensive strategies that can be used to mitigate the risk, including redundancy in electronics and increased shielding, he added.Zero risk means infinite cost.Two missions to study the radiation belts are planned for 2012, Shprits noted: NASA's Radiation Belt Storm Probe will observe radiation belts in the equatorial plane, while Moscow State University's LOMONOSOV mission, with UCLA-built instruments on board, will observe radiation belts at low altitudes.The scientists detailed their findings online in the Aug. 25 issue of the journal Space Weather.Follow SPACE.com contributor Charles Q.

Stocks drop, led by commodities on economic fear
ReutersBy Edward Krudy | Reuters – SEPT 28,11
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Commodity-related stocks drove Wall Street lower on Wednesday as stiff declines in energy and metals prices underscored investor concerns about global economic weakness and Europe's raging debt crisis.A sharp 7 percent dive in the price of copper, seen as a leading indicator for the economy, rattled investors and led to a drop of 4.5 percent in the S&P materials index. Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc fell 7.3 percent to $32.29.Investors were on a knife edge as inspectors from the EU and IMF headed to Greece to scrutinize austerity plans while German Chancellor Angela Merkel worked to defuse a revolt within her government ahead of a vote to expand Europe's bailout fund on Thursday.Wednesday's declines put the S&P 500 on course for its worst quarter since the high noon of the financial crisis in the fourth quarter of 2008. The drop also illustrates how sensitive the market has become to news on Europe's troubles.There is certainly a lot of headline risk and a lot of weak hands that hold stocks after this big rally we've had in the last three days, said Robert Francello, head of equity trading for Apex Capital, a hedge fund in San Francisco.Traders who have either gotten long during the rally or covered their shorts are probably going just to flatten themselves out, either taking profits or getting out of the market,he said.Brent crude resumed its downward trend, falling more than $3 in afternoon trade, sending an S&P index of energy stocks down 3 percent. Chevron fell 1.9 percent to $91.74.News early in the afternoon that bans on short-selling stocks in France, Italy and Spain have been extended highlighted the regulatory risk faced by investors and increased selling pressure.The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 179.79 points, or 1.61 percent, to 11,010.90. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped 24.32 points, or 2.07 percent, to 1,151.06. The Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 55.25 points, or 2.17 percent, to 2,491.58.
Traders said volume would likely be light and market movements accentuated during the rest of the quarter due to the Jewish New Year holiday of Rosh Hashanah.So far, the S&P 500 has fallen 12.8 percent this quarter, its worst decline since the fourth quarter of 2008 when it fell 22.6 percent.In the commodities sector, Cliffs Natural Resources Inc sank 8.4 percent to $55.66. Gold prices fell more than 2 percent.It's fear of a global slowdown, said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at John Thomas Financial in New York.It's a pure flight to safety into the dollar here, and that's killing commodities.A push to solidify a euro-zone rescue fund and alleviate the region's sovereign debt crisis lifted stocks on Tuesday for a third consecutive session, following four straight days of losses for the benchmark S&P 500. The S&P gained more than 4 percent over that three-day period.Amazon.com Inc gained 2.5 percent to $229.71 after it unveiled a new tablet computer with a $199 price tag. Apple Inc, which makes the popular iPad tablet, fell 0.6 percent to $397.01.
Microsoft Corp dipped 0.4 percent to $25.58 after Samsung Electronics Co Ltd unveiled software pacts with the company.In earnings news, Jabil Circuit Inc advanced 8.2 percent to $18.81 a day after reporting fourth-quarter earnings that beat expectations, while Family Dollar Stores Inc fell 1.6 percent to $53.31 after its results.In economic news, orders for long-lasting U.S. manufactured goods slipped in August on weak demand for motor vehicles, but a rebound in a gauge of business spending suggested the economy would avoid another recession.About five stocks fell for every one that rose on both the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq. About 7.96 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, in line with this year's average.(Reporting by Edward Krudy; Additional reporting by Caroline Valetkevitch; Editing by Jan Paschal)
Bernanke says Fed would act if inflation falls
ReutersBy Kim Palmer | Reuters – SEPT 28,11
CLEVELAND (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Wednesday the central bank might need to ease monetary policy further if inflation or inflation expectations fall significantly.In his first public remarks since the Fed launched a fresh measured aimed at keeping down long-term borrowing costs, Bernanke indicated a willingness to push deeper into the realm of unconventional policy if economic growth remains anemic.It is something that we're going to be watching very carefully, Bernanke said in response to questions from the audience at a forum sponsored by the Cleveland Fed.If inflation falls too low or inflation expectations fall too low, that would be something we have to respond to because we do not want deflation, Bernanke said.The comment was made in response to a question about a recent decline in market-based inflation expectations, which policymakers see as a good gauge of future inflation trends.The gap between yields on 10-year Treasury notes and their inflation-protected counterparts fell to 1.70 percent last week, the lowest since September 2010. It has edged up slightly since then and last stood at 1.86 percent.In an effort to stanch the deepest recession in generations and help the recovery, the Fed not only slashed benchmark interest rates to effectively zero, but also more than tripled its balance sheet to around $2.9 trillion.Despite these measures, growth has remained quite soft, averaging less than 1 percent on an annual basis in the first half of the year. Bernanke signaled he remains concerned about risks to the economy, which the Fed described as significant in its September policy statement.We have a lot of problems both in terms of recovery and in terms of longer-term growth, he said.
A TWIST ON HOUSING
Last week, the Fed said it will sell $400 billion in short-term Treasury securities and invest them into longer-dated ones to try to put downward pressure on borrowing costs over a longer period.Investors have dubbed the program Operation Twist after a similar measure undertaken by the Fed in the 1960s. The central bank will also renew its help to the housing finance sector by reinvesting maturing mortgage bonds in its portfolio back into that market.Bernanke called for the U.S. government to beef up its assistance to the ailing housing sector, the epicenter of the 2008 financial meltdown.Some strong housing policies to help the housing market recovery would clearly be very useful and would allow the monetary policy actions of the Fed ... to have more effect and to help the economy recovery more strongly, Bernanke said.
Asked about the fate of fallen mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Bernanke reiterated his view that the mortgage market remains too weak to allow the government to try to privatize the government-sponsored entities.The Fed's latest monetary easing did not have unanimous support within the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy.Three regional central bank presidents dissented against the move. Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig, who does not have a vote on the committee this year but has been a vocal opponent of the Fed's unconventional policies, took a parting shot at the central bank's actions on Wednesday.When you encourage consumption by inhibiting your interest rates from rising to their equilibrium level, you will in fact buy problems, and we have, in fact, bought problems,said Hoenig, who is due to retire on October 1, in his last speech in office.(Reporting by Kim Palmer, Pedro da Costa and David Lawder in Washington; Editing by Padraic Cassidy)

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.

Muslim Brotherhood-led bloc threatens Egypt vote boycott AFPAFP – SEPT 28,11
An electoral coalition led by the Muslim Brotherhood threatened late Wednesday to boycott November's legislative elections in Egypt if the electoral law is not amended.In a statement, the bloc objected to Article Five of the electoral law, which bans political parties from running in a third of the seats in parliament, which are reserved for independent candidates.We refuse to take part in elections if Article Five of the electoral law is not cancelled, said the statement.It was published in the name of the Democratic Coalition which, as well as the Muslim Brotherhood, includes the Freedom and Justice Party, an offshoot of the Brotherhood, and the liberal al-Waf party.Egypt's interim military rulers announced on Tuesday that the first stage of parliamentary elections, the first since the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak, would be held on November 28.But in an amendment to the electoral law, it said two-thirds of parliament would be elected through a party list under the proportional representation system.The rest would be elected through a simple majority -- but only independent candidates would be eligible to run for them.Under the old system, hundreds of candidates ran as independents if they did not make on to Mubarak's National Democratic Party lists, only to join the party after winning seats.But Article Five of the new electoral law specifically forbids those elected as independents from joining a parliamentary bloc once elected -- on pain of losing their seats.More than two dozen political parties have already rejected the law, objecting that it could help return old regime figures to parliament.They have called for a pure proportional representation system and the activation of a law that would ban corrupt politicians from running for office.
Cantaloupe outbreak is deadliest in a decade
APBy MARY CLARE JALONICK - Associated Press | AP – SEPT 29,11
WASHINGTON (AP) — Health officials say as many as 16 people have died from possible listeria illnesses traced to Colorado cantaloupes, the deadliest food outbreak in more than a decade.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday that 72 illnesses, including 13 deaths, are linked to the tainted fruit. State and local officials say they are investigating three additional deaths that may be connected.
The death toll released by the CDC Tuesday — including newly confirmed deaths in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas — surpassed the number of deaths linked to an outbreak of salmonella in peanuts almost three years ago. Nine people died in that outbreak.

The CDC said Tuesday that they have confirmed two deaths in Texas and one death each in in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Last week the CDC reported two deaths in Colorado, four deaths in New Mexico, one in Oklahoma and one in Maryland.New Mexico officials said Tuesday they are investigating a fifth death, while health authorities in Kansas and Wyoming said they too are investigating additional deaths possibly linked to the tainted fruit.Listeria is more deadly than well-known pathogens like salmonella and E. coli, though those outbreaks generally cause many more illnesses. Twenty-one people died in an outbreak of listeria poisoning in 1998 traced to contaminated hot dogs and possibly deli meats made by Bil Mar Foods, a subsidiary of Sara Lee Corp. Another large listeria outbreak in 1985 killed 52 people and was linked to Mexican-style soft cheese.Listeria generally only sickens the elderly, pregnant women and others with compromised immune systems. The CDC said the median age of those sickened is 78 and that one in five who contract the disease can die.Dr. Robert Tauxe of the CDC says the number of illnesses and deaths will probably grow in coming weeks because the symptoms of listeria don't always show up right away. It can take four weeks or more for a person to fall ill after eating food contaminated with listeria.That long incubation period is a real problem, Tauxe said. People who ate a contaminated food two weeks ago or even a week ago could still be falling sick weeks later.CDC reported the 72 illnesses and deaths in 18 states. Cases of listeria were reported in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The most illnesses were reported in Colorado, which has seen 15 sickened. Fourteen illnesses were reported in Texas, 10 in New Mexico and eight in Oklahoma.
The outbreak has been traced to Jensen Farms in Holly, Colo., which recalled the tainted cantaloupes earlier this month. The Food and Drug Administration said state health officials had found listeria in cantaloupes taken from grocery stores in the state and from a victim's home that were grown at Jensen Farms. Matching strains of the disease were found on equipment and cantaloupe samples at Jensen Farms' packing facility in Granada, Colo.FDA, which investigates the cause of foodborne outbreaks, has not released any additional details on how the contamination may have happened. The agency says its investigation is ongoing.The Rocky Ford-brand cantaloupes from Jensen Farms were shipped from July 29 through Sept. 10 to Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.
The recalled cantaloupe may be labeled Colorado Grown,Distributed by Frontera Produce,Jensenfarms.com or Sweet Rocky Fords. Not all of the recalled cantaloupes are labeled with a sticker, the FDA said.Unlike many pathogens, listeria bacteria can grow at room temperatures and even refrigerator temperatures. The FDA and CDC recommend anyone who may have one of the contaminated cantaloupes throw it out immediately and clean and sanitize any surfaces it may have touched.About 800 cases of listeria are found in the United States each year, according to CDC, and there usually are three or four outbreaks. Most of these are traced to deli meat and soft cheeses, where listeria is most common.Produce has rarely been the culprit, but federal investigators say they have seen more produce-related listeria illnesses in the past two years. It was found in sprouts in 2009 and celery in 2010.While most healthy adults can consume listeria with no ill effects, it can kill the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. It is also dangerous to pregnant women because it easily passes through to the fetus. Dr. Tauxe of the CDC said the type of listeria linked to the cantaloupes is not one that is commonly associated with pregnancy-associated illnesses, however. State and federal health authorities have not definitively linked any miscarriages, stillbirths or infant illnesses to the current outbreak.Symptoms of listeria include fever and muscle aches, often with other gastrointestinal symptoms. Victims often become incapacitated and unable to speak.Debbie Frederick said her mother knew something was wrong when her father, 87-year-old William Thomas Beach, collapsed at his home in Mustang, Okla. and couldn't get up. He died a few days later, on Sept. 1. The family later learned his death was linked to eating the cantaloupe and sued Jensen Farms.First you just kind of go into shock, said Frederick.Then it settles in that he would still be alive if this hadn't happened. It's a life, for what?
