A large rock-hewn water reservoir dating to the First Temple period was discovered in the archaeological excavations that are being conducted in the Jerusalem Archaeological Garden, at the foot of Robinson’s Arch near the Western Wall Plaza. According to archaeologists, the reservoir and a channel leading into it may be one mentioned in the Book of Joel.The excavation, during the course of which the reservoir was discovered, is part of an archaeological project, in which the entire drainage channel of Jerusalem dating to the Second Temple period is being exposed.The channel runs from the Shiloach (Siloam Pool) to a point beneath Robinson’s Arch. The route of the channel was fixed in the center of the main valley that extends from north to south over the length of the ancient city, parallel to the Temple Mount. In his description of Jerusalem during the Second Temple period, Josephus refers to the valley by its Greek name “Tyropoeon,” which scholars believe means “Valley of the Cheese-makers.” Another interpretation identifies the valley with the “Valley of the Decision,” mentioned in the Book of Joel.It became apparent while excavating the channel that during the construction of this enormous engineering enterprise, its builders had to remove earlier structures that were situated along the route of the channel and “pass through” existing rock-hewn installations that were located along it. An extraordinary installation that was exposed in recent weeks is a large water reservoir treated with several layers of plaster, which probably dates to the First Temple period.

The reservoir has an approximate capacity of 250 cubic meters and is therefore one of the largest water reservoirs from the First Temple period to be discovered so far in Jerusalem. Presumably it was used by the general public.The excavations at the site are being carried out by the Israel Antiquities Authority, underwritten by the Ir David Foundation and in cooperation with the Nature and Parks Authority. The reservoir will be officially presented Thursday, together with other finds from this past year at the 13th annual conference on the “City of David Studies of Ancient Jerusalem,” to be held in Jerusalem.According to Eli Shukron, the excavation director on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority, “to the best of our knowledge this is the first time that a water reservoir of this kind has been exposed in an archaeological excavation. The exposure of the current reservoir, as well as smaller cisterns that were revealed along the Tyropoeon Valley, unequivocally indicates that Jerusalem’s water consumption in the First Temple period was not solely based on the output of the Gihon Spring water works, but also on more available water resources such as the one we have just discovered.”Antiquities Authority officials said that the group was preparing to open up part of the find to visitors.

HOSEA 4:1-3
1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land,(EARTH) because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2  By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3  Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

ZEPHANIAH 1:2-3
2  I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
3  I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.

Isaac sweeps tons of dead rats ashore

Aftermath of Hurricane Isaac

Much of New Orleans was still covered with floodwater and more than 200 000 people across Louisiana still didn't have any power, five days after Isaac ravaged the state.Tupelo - Tens of thousands of rats killed by Hurricane Isaac have washed up onto the beaches of Mississippi and created a foul-smelling mess that officials say will take days to clean up.When the hurricane lifted the tides, the water washed across the marshy areas in Louisiana where the semi-aquatic rats live and forced them to ride the waves into Mississippi until they succumbed to exhaustion and drowned, said David Yarborough, a supervisor for Hancock County on the Gulf Coast.The tides then deposited their bodies on the Mississippi shoreline, he said.As of Tuesday, about 16 000 of the rodents have been collected in Hancock County, where a hired contractor's clean-up efforts are expected to continue for another week, officials said.In nearby Harrison County, officials decided to carry out the work themselves. Using shovels and pitchforks, workers have removed 16 tons of the dead rats from beaches since Saturday and taken them to a local landfill.

Hurry

"We have an event called 'Cruisin' The Coast' the second week of October with 30 000 to 40 000 people on the beach, and we didn't want to wait" to clean up, said Kim Savant, president of that county's Board of Supervisors. Although they're smelly and disgusting, the dead rats pose no health risk to humans, said Brigid Elchos of the Mississippi Board of Animal Health.Mississippi also dealt with dead rats after Hurricanes Katrina and Gustav, but officials said the current situation seems especially bad.The beaches are closed to the public, but Yarborough said people have come anyway to see the littered beaches. The visitors usually don't stay long, possibly because the odour is intense on the shore and discernible from up to three miles away, he said.In addition to the rats, workers also found dead hogs, deer, coyotes, snakes and rabbits on the beaches. - Reuters

Hurricane Isaac sweeps tons of dead rats onto Mississippi beaches

TUPELO, Mississippi (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of rats killed by Hurricane Isaac have washed up onto the beaches of Mississippi and created a foul-smelling mess that officials say will take days to clean up.

When the hurricane lifted the tides, the water washed across the marshy areas in Louisiana where the semi-aquatic rats live and forced them to ride the waves into Mississippi until they succumbed to exhaustion and drowned, said David Yarborough, a supervisor for Hancock County on the Gulf Coast.The tides then deposited their bodies on the Mississippi shoreline, he said.As of Tuesday, about 16,000 of the rodents have been collected in Hancock County, where a hired contractor's clean-up efforts are expected to continue for another week, officials said.In nearby Harrison County, officials decided to carry out the work themselves.

Tens of thousands of dead fish rotting on Lake Erie shore

Published on Tuesday September 04, 2012

MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT Tens of thousands of dead fish are lining a 40-kilometre stretch of shoreline along Lake Erie.Richard J. Brennan  National Affairs Writer

Tens of thousands of rotting fish are lining a 40-kilometre stretch of shoreline along Lake Erie, reports the provincial environment ministry, which is investigating the cause.A spokesperson for the Ontario Ministry of Environment said Tuesday the kill was reported on the weekend. So far it appears the fish may have died from the affects of a naturally occurring lake inversion rather than a spill, but cautioned the investigation is continuing.The question now is which agency is responsible for cleaning up the rotting carcasses of thousands of yellow perch, carp, sheepshead, catfish, big head buffalo and suckers, which kept untold beachgoers from enjoying their Labour Day weekend.“It (the water) was quite putrid really … I had never experienced anything like this,” said Neville Knowles, of London, Ont. and cottager at Rondeau Provincial Park for more than 50 years.The dead fish stretch from west of the fishing village of Port Stanley in Elgin County to the village of Morpeth in Chatham-Kent or just east of Rondeau.“There was a significant number of fish, tens of thousands,” the environment ministry’s Kate Jordan told the Star.Jordan said the ministry officials took fish and water samples for analysis, “but all observations made at the site … did not show anything unusual and we did not see any evidence of … a spill to the lake or man-made pollution … so we are considering natural causes, including a lake inversion.”She explained that an inversion happens when the surface water cools down dramatically, sinks and displaces the bottom layer, which has lower oxygen content. As the bottom layer is displaced, it rises and robs fish of oxygen needed to survive. The phenomenon is also referred to as the lake “rolling over.”Even so, some residents are suspicious just the same that run-off from a large pig operation along the stretch may have caused the fish to die, said Knowles, who quickly added there is nothing to support that position.“At this time of the years it is common to get lake turnover or lake inversion and you usually do get a few fish killed … but this smell smelled like a sewer … and on top of the water there was a brown kind of milky film that was at the water’s edge,” said Knowles, who first noticed the smell Friday.He said after he took a dip Friday afternoon he quickly took a shower to wash to smell away.The bulk of the fish washed up on shore east of the Rondeau. In some spots, the fish were piled on top of each other.Jordan said it has not yet been decided which agency, federal, provincial or local agency will have to foot the cleanup bill.“We are having discussions with Environment Canada, the health unit and natural resources about that now,” she said.

Wildfire near LA remains in wilderness area

By RAQUEL MARIA DILLON and SUE MANNING | Associated Press – 5 hours ago SEPT 5,12

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A 3,600-acre fire in the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles chewed through thick brush in steep terrain that hadn't burned in two decades amid hot, dry conditions.But with no serious winds to whip it or push it, the fire made no move toward the Los Angeles suburbs to the south, remaining within the wilderness instead.Because of the terrain and warm temperatures, it could take a week to contain the blaze, said incident commander James Smith of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. It had burned about 5½ square miles by late Tuesday.Very dry conditions, with humidity below 10 percent, were forecast for the area all week and temperatures were expected to remain in the 80s and 90s, said National Weather Service meteorologist Mike Wofford.The serious fire season in Southern California usually begins with the arrival of the Santa Ana winds, which peak in November and December. The Santa Anas are often linked to the most destructive wildfires, blowing out of the northeast and through mountain canyons and passes, driving flames into foothill suburbs.Jet Propulsion Laboratory climatologist William Patzert said the winds were the only factor absent from the current fire situation, because all the other major factors including drought and dense population already exist.Southern California's population in 1950 was 4 million people, Patzert said, but today it is pushing 20 million and many people are living in areas that historically were considered fire corridors, he said."The history of Southern California has been written in fires and other calamities. I think the population density and where we build and how we build has made it more frequent, more costly and more precarious," he said.The only thing you need to go with winds, overpopulation and a dry fuel load is ignition, Patzert said. Ninety percent of fires are human-caused, either intentional or accidental, he said."With 20 million people in Southern California, there are always plenty of candidates. We seem to have our unfair share of wacko pyromaniacs," he said.Brush clearance is one of the few things homeowners can do to help protect their homes, Patzert said. "It stands head and shoulders over everything else. You need a defensible area in a fire zone. It should be mandatory."Southern California's fire outlook for the fall and winter remains unclear.The NWS Climate Prediction Center issued a three-month outlook that shows no strong science suggesting hot or cold temperatures or high or low precipitation, Wofford said. "The prediction is very non-specific."On the San Gabriel Mountains fire front, a burned car was found in the area, but it was unknown if the car caused the fire or was destroyed by it.The blaze in popular San Gabriel Canyon brought an early halt to Labor Day weekend hiking and camping plans for as many as 12,000 people. But 25 residents of the nearby community of Camp Williams refused to leave.
Kevin Brown, a gold prospector and Hollywood lighting technician who lives in Camp Williams, said he was scared when a sheriff's deputy knocked on his door Sunday.Brown looked at a weather report and decided to ignore the evacuation orders. The fire burned closest to the mobile homes and campsites late Monday, he said."I sat up for hours in my picnic chair and my video camera just taping different sections of the fire raging," he said. "It was crazy, I had this whole fireworks show to myself in the middle of the night."In Northern California, several fires broke out Tuesday, including one in Colusa County north of Sacramento that had surged to 1,000 acres and forced the closure of Highway 16. A 200-acre spot fire broke out about three miles away.___Manning reported from Los Angeles. Dillon reported from Camp Williams.

Powerful quake hits Costa Rica, two dead

By Isabella Cota | Reuters – 32 mins ago SEPT 5,12

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (Reuters) - A powerful earthquake rocked Costa Rica on Wednesday, causing the deaths of at least two people, damaging buildings, and briefly triggering a tsunami warning.Residents of the capital San Jose said phones went down, electricity poles rattled on the streets and water flowed out of pools after the 7.6-magnitude quake. The were also unconfirmed media reports of people being treated for injuries.A spokesman for the local Red Cross said two people died during the earthquake, one from a heart attack. He was not immediately able to confirm media reports the other person had been crushed under a collapsing wall.Locals were shocked by the force of the quake, the biggest to hit Costa Rica since a 7.6 magnitude quake in 1991 left 47 dead."I was inside my car at a stop sign and all the sudden everything started shaking. I thought the street was going to break in two," said Erich Johanning, a 30-year-old who works in Internet marketing in San Jose. "Immediately I saw dozens of people running out of their homes and office buildings."President Laura Chinchilla said there had not been reports of serious damage to buildings, although some hotels on the western Pacific coast had been hit, locals said.The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially issued a warning for Pacific coastlines of Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama, but this was later canceled. The center had earlier warned of tsunamis for as far afield as Mexico and Peru.The quake's epicenter was in western Costa Rica about 87 miles from San Jose, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said, and it was felt as far away as Nicaragua and Panama.The Guanacaste region around the epicenter is known for its beaches, surf and volcanoes. With several nature and marine reserves it is less tropical than the rest of the Central American nation, with stretches of open savannah and mountains.In the town of Nicoya, some 11 km (7 miles) east-southeast of the epicenter, Selenia Obando, a receptionist at the Hotel Curime, said the building had been left without lights and electricity. A floor had collapsed in the hotel but there were no injuries."It was horrible, like being in a blender going round and round," Obando said. "All the water sloshed out of the swimming pool. It's now about half full."There was also an early report of damage to the Hotel Riu Guanacaste on Matapalo beach in Guanacaste.But America Nava, a reservations clerk with Riu in Mexico, said it had only been evacuated. "There is no damage to the hotel, they're checking it to make sure everything is in order. As soon as that is finished, the guests will return."Local media reported the death of a woman from a heart attack at the time of the earthquake in a nearby hospital.Actor Mel Gibson owns a lush forest retreat at Playa Barrigona in Samara not far from the epicenter, which he recently put up for sale for $29.75 million. Guests to the 500 acre property have included Bruce Willis and Britney Spears.The last serious quake to hit Costa Rica was a 6.1 magnitude quake in January 2009, which killed 40 people.

Tropical Storm Michael stronger in east Atlantic

Associated Press – 21 hours ago SEPT 5,12

MIAMI (AP) — Forecasters say small Tropical Storm Michael has strengthened in the eastern Atlantic Ocean but does not pose a threat to land.The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Tuesday afternoon that Michael was moving slowly toward the north-northwest at about 7 mph (11 kph). Current models showed it staying well out to sea over the next few days.Michael had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (80 kph). It was 1,210 miles (1,947 kilometers) southwest of the Azores.Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Leslie was moving very slowly more than 500 miles (805 kilometers) south of Bermuda. That storm's maximum sustained winds Tuesday were near 65 mph (100 kph).In the Pacific, what was Tropical Depression John has fallen apart.

Tropical Storm Leslie moves north in Atlantic

Associated Press – Tue, Sep 4, 2012 5:15 AM EDT

MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Leslie is slowly moving north in the Atlantic with no change in strength.

The storm's maximum sustained winds early Tuesday are near 65 mph (100 kph) with little change in strength expected over the next two days.Leslie is centered about 545 miles (875 kilometers) south-southeast of Bermuda and is moving north near 3 mph (6 kph).Farther east in the Atlantic, a small tropical depression is moving northwest. The depression's maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 kph). The depression is centered about 1,435 miles (2,310 kilometers) northwest of the Cape Verde Islands and is posing no immediate threat to land.
