16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

Palestinians to give Israelis deadline on talks
Associated PressAssociated Press – MAR 3,12

JERICHO, West Bank (AP) — Palestinian officials say they'll give a deadline to Israel to accept ground rules for negotiations, and suggest that a 'no' will allow them to shelve Mideast talks until it does.Palestinians ended low-level talks in February, claiming Israel didn't present serious offers.The officials said Saturday they'll ask Israel in writing to freeze settlements and recognize the pre-1967 frontier as a baseline for border talks. Israel has refused to do so.Palestinians believe negotiating with Israel's right-wing government is pointless. Israeli rejection of the ground rules would let them pursue other strategies, including a bid for Palestinian U.N. membership.Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki did not say when Israel would need to respond.

97 TORNADOES WERE REPORTED AND 300 STORM WARNINGS YESTERDAY.IN FEBRUARY THERE WERE 200 STORM WARNINGS

Violent storms kill 31, death toll could rise Associated PressBy JIM SUHR and KEN KUSMER | Associated Press – MAR 3,12

HENRYVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A string of violent storms scratched away small towns in Indiana and cut off rural communities in Kentucky as an early season tornado outbreak killed more than 30 people, and the death toll rose as daylight broke on Saturday's search for survivors.Massive thunderstorms, predicted by forecasters for days, threw off dozens of tornadoes as they raced Friday from the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes. Twisters that crushed entire blocks of homes knocked out cellphones and landlines alike, ripped power lines from broken poles and tossed cars, school buses and tractor-trailers onto roadways made impassable by debris.Weather that put millions of people at risk Friday killed 31, but both the scale of the devastation and the breadth of the storms made an immediate assessment of the havoc's full extent all but impossible.In Kentucky, the National Guard and state police headed out to search wreckage for an unknown number of missing. In Indiana, authorities searched dark county roads connecting rural communities that officials said are completely gone.For those still in the town of about 2,000 north of Louisville, Ky., the birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Colonel Harland Sanders, that meant walking down littered streets with shopping carts full of water and food, handing it out to anyone in need. Hundreds of firefighters and police zipped around a town where few recognizable structures remained; all of Henryville's schools were destroyed.It's all gone, resident Andy Bell said as he guarded a friend's demolished service garage, not far from where a school bus stuck out from the side of a restaurant and a parking lot where a small classroom chair jutted from a car window.

It was beautiful,he said, looking around.And now it's just gone. I mean, gone.Susie Renner, 54, said she saw two tornadoes barreling down on Henryville within minutes of each other. The first was brown from being filled with debris; the second was black.I'm a storm chaser, Renner said, and I have never been this frightened before.
Friday's outbreak came two days after an earlier round of storms killed 13 people in the Midwest and South, and forecasters at the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center had said the day would be one of a handful this year that warranted its highest risk level. By 10 p.m., the weather service had issued 269 tornado warnings. Only 189 warnings were issued in all of February.We knew this was coming. We were watching the weather like everyone else,said Clark County, Ind., Sheriff Danny Rodden. This was the worst case scenario. There's no way you can prepare for something like this.A total of 14 people were reported killed in Indiana, including four in Chelsea, where a man, woman and their 4-year-old great-grandchild died in one house. Tony Williams, owner of the Chelsea General Store, said the child and mother were huddled in a basement when the storm hit and sucked the 4-year-old out her hands. The mother survived, but her 70-year-old grandparents were upstairs; both died.They found them in the field, back behind the house, Williams said.Two people also died further north in Holton, where it appeared a tornado cut a diagonal swath down the town's tiny main drag, demolishing a cinderblock gas station in one spot and leaving a tiny white church intact down the road. Officials also confirmed three deaths in nearby Scott County and another four in Washington County further west.We are going to continue to hit every county road that we know of that there are homes on and search those homes, said Indiana State Police Sgt. Jerry Goodin. We have whole communities and whole neighborhoods that are completely gone. We've had a terrible, terrible tragedy here.The death toll rose to at least 14 in Kentucky, which sent both National Guard troops and Kentucky State Police troopers along with a rescue team into counties more than an hour east and south of Lexington.

In West Liberty, Ky., Stephen Burton heard the twister coming and pulled his 23-year-old daughter to safety, just before the tornado destroyed the second story of the family's home.I held onto her and made it to the center of the house, next to a closet, Burton said. I just held onto her and I felt like I was getting sand-blasted on my back.Endre Samu, public affairs office Kentucky State Police in Morehead, said three people were dead in West Liberty and at least 75 were injured.
All of the downtown area was just devastated,he said. Samu said West Liberty's hospital was damaged in the storm and some patients were being transferred to area hospitals.Kentucky Emergency Management spokesman Buddy Rogers said officials were having difficulty getting into the area to confirm the damage.We can't even get into some of these counties, he said Friday night.The power is out, phones are out, roads are blocked and now it's dark, which complicates things.Tornadoes were reported in at least six Ohio cities and towns, including the village of Moscow, where a council member found dead in her home was one of at least three people killed in the state. Several dozen homes were damaged, some stripped down to their foundations, and the Clermont County commissioners called a state of emergency for the first time in 15 years.Emergency officials in Lee County, Va., said damage from a possible tornado left at least a two- to three-mile path of destruction that may reach far into Tennessee, and damage reports were expected to increase come daylight.We don't know. We can't get down there, said Emergency Management Director Jason Crabtree said of areas stretching south of the Virginia line.This thing may be eight to 10 miles long.

Netanyahu says he won't set red lines for action on Iran AFPAFP – MAR 3,12

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday he will not set red lines for military action against Iran, insisting he wanted to preserve the Jewish state's freedom to maneuver.I have not set down red lines to the United States and will not set down red lines, he said. I want to reserve Israel's freedom to maneuver in light of threats, every country would demand that.Netanyahu arrived in Canada on Friday ahead of White House talks next week expected to focus on halting Iran's controversial nuclear drive.Shortly after his arrival in Ottawa, Netanyahu met privately with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a keen backer of Israel. He was to travel on to Washington on Sunday.At a news conference with Harper, Netanyahu laid out Israel's demands for Iran: to dismantle its underground nuclear facility in Qom, stop uranium enrichment and get rid of all enriched material in Iran beyond what would allow it to make medical isotopes or generate nuclear power.Harper said he wants to see a peaceful resolution to the Iran nuclear threat.Netanyahu and Obama are to meet Monday and are expected to discuss further measures to slow or halt Iran's nuclear program, which Israel views as its greatest strategic threat.Western nations have stepped up sanctions on Iran, accusing it of pursuing nuclear weapons in the guise of a peaceful program, charges denied by Tehran.

Syrian forces pound Homs anew ReutersBy Khaled Yacoub Oweis and Oliver Holmes | Reuters – MAR 3,12

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian forces bombarded parts of the shattered city of Homs anew on Saturday and blocked the first Red Cross aid meant for civilians stranded for weeks without food and fuel in the former rebel stronghold, activists and aid workers said.The renewed government assault came a day after U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he had received grisly reports that President Bashar al-Assad's troops were executing, imprisoning and torturing people in Syria's third largest city.In an act of pure revenge, Assad's army has been firing mortar rounds and ... machine guns since this morning at Jobar, said the Syrian Network for Human Rights, naming a neighborhood adjacent to Baba Amro, from which Free Syrian Army rebels pulled out this week after almost a month of siege and shelling.We have no immediate reports of casualties because of the difficulty of communications,it said in a statement.Concern was mounting for civilians in freezing conditions in battered Baba Amro, where International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) trucks were still being held up by Assad's forces.Anti-government activists said they feared troops were keeping out the ICRC to prevent aid workers witnessing a reported massacre of rebels in Baba Amro, which had become a symbol of a year-long uprising against Assad's repressive rule.The ICRC and Syrian Red Crescent are not yet in Baba Amro today. We are still in negotiations with authorities in order to enter Baba Amro. It is important that we enter today,ICRC spokesman Hicham Hassan told Reuters in Geneva.A Damascus-based ICRC spokesman said Syrian authorities had given the convoy permission to enter but that government forces on the ground had stopped the trucks because of what they said were unsafe conditions, including mines and booby traps.
There has been fighting there for at least a month. The situation cannot be good. They will need food, it's cold, they will need blankets. And there are injured there that need to be evacuated immediately,Saleh Dabbakeh told Reuters.Elsewhere in Syria, anti-Assad activists reported mass arrests and the killing of six soldiers, while the government's SANA news agency reported a suicide car bombing in the southern town of Deraa, a blast activists denied was a suicide attack.

FOOTAGE OF WRECKED CITY

Syrian state television conducted interviews with unnamed civilians in what it said was Baba Amro, against a backdrop of empty streets, some with heavy conflict damage.
Anyone who went out on the street was kidnapped or slaughtered. We called for the army to come in. God bless the army, they saved us from the armed terrorist gangs, said one interviewee, referring to the Free Syrian Army rebels.In unusually tough remarks to the 193-member U.N. General Assembly on Friday, Ban explicitly blamed Damascus for the fate of civilians in the conflict.The brutal fighting has trapped civilians in their homes, without food, heat or electricity or medical care, without any chance of evacuating the wounded or burying the dead. People have been reduced to melting snow for drinking water, he said.This atrocious assault is all the more appalling for having been waged by the government itself, systematically attacking its own people.Syrian U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari, said Ban's comments included extremely virulent rhetoric which confines itself to slandering a government based on reports, opinions or hearsay.SANA said the bomber in Deraa killed two people and wounded 20 others, while residents said seven people had been killed.Rami Abdelrahman, head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said anti-Assad fighters had killed six soldiers and wounded nine in the town of al-Herak, south of Deraa.In the Damascus suburb of Qudsiya, activists said hundreds of security forces personnel had arrested at least 30 people, destroyed vehicles and burned at least one home.

A fighter with the rebels, whose ranks include defectors from Assad's army, said they were planning their next steps after losing Baba Amro.Our morale, praise God, is high. We do not say we are sorry when someone is martyred, we all hope for this, and for the fall of the regime,said the rebel fighter who declined to be named.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said his government was again seeking to have the U.N. Security Council tackle the Syrian crisis.This means working with other countries such as Russia and China that have blocked previous initiatives,he told Sky News.We will go on arguing for ... for the international community to pull together. Because the denial of humanitarian aid on top of all the murder, torture and repression in Syria just underlines what a criminal regime this has become.Russia and China twice vetoed council resolutions that would have condemned Damascus and demanded it halt the crackdown on anti-Assad demonstrators, accusing Western and Arab nations of pushing for Libya-style regime change in Syria.The United States is drafting a legally binding council resolution that would call for aid workers to be allowed into besieged towns and an end to the violence, U.N. envoys said.

JOURNALISTS' BODIES HANDED OVER

Wounded British photographer Paul Conroy, who escaped Homs earlier this week, said on Friday he had witnessed Syrian troops carrying out a massacre in heavily-shelled Baba Amro.I've worked in many war zones - I've never seen or been in shelling like this,the Sunday Times photographer told Sky News from a hospital bed in central London.I'm an ex-artillery gunner so I can kind of follow the patterns - they are systematically moving through neighborhoods with munitions that are used for battlefields.It's not a war, it's a massacre, an indiscriminate massacre of men, woman and children.Western diplomats on Saturday received the bodies of American journalist Marie Colvin and French photographer Remi Ochlik, who were killed on February 22 during a shelling of Baba Amro. A Reuters witness said the diplomats, believed to be the French ambassador to Syria and a representative from the Polish embassy, which is managing U.S. affairs in Syria, had taken the bodies from the Al-Assad University Hospital in Damascus.The Syrian government said on Friday it would like to express its sadness and sorrow at the death of Colvin, Conroy's colleague at London's Sunday Times.The Paris prosecutor's office said it had opened a preliminary investigation for murder and attempted murder into the bombing that killed Ochlik and seriously wounded French reporter Edith Bouvier.The United Nations says Syrian security forces have killed more than 7,500 civilians since the revolt began last March. Syria's government said in December that armed terrorists had killed more than 2,000 soldiers and police during the unrest.(Additional reporting by Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva, Michelle Nichols in New York, Avril Ormsby in London; Writing and additional reporting by Mohammed Abbas; Editing by Mark Heinrich)

Putin says no crackdown on protesters after vote ReutersBy Gleb Bryanski and Alissa de Carbonnel | Reuters – Fri, Mar 2, 2012

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Vladimir Putin promised he would not crack down on Russia's burgeoning opposition movement following his likely election as president on Sunday, but rejected protesters' calls for early parliamentary polls.Tens of thousands of people have turned out for protests in Moscow and other cities since a disputed parliamentary vote in December - the biggest protests of Putin's 12-year rule.The unprecedented wave of demonstrations has cast a shadow over the powerful prime minister who appeared politically invincible throughout much of his rule.In remarks published on Friday, Putin signaled he was confident he could maintain control and popular support without tightening the screws or giving in to opponents' demands.Asked in a meeting with foreign newspaper editors whether he would move to crack down on the opposition after the vote, Putin quipped: Why do I need to do that?
I don't know where these fears come from. We are not planning anything of the kind, Putin said at the meeting held on Thursday at his residence outside Moscow.

Russian authorities have often used heavy-handed tactics to deal with dissent but have shown restraint toward the recent protests, holding talks with leaders to agree locations. Police have been out in force but have intervened rarely.But some activists fear that the picture would change after the Sunday election and a political crackdown would follow.In his remarks, Putin dismissed such fears.On the contrary all of our proposals are geared toward establishing a dialogue with everyone, with those who support us and those who criticize us, he said in a transcript posted on the government's website.He said he and President Dmitry Medvedev were working to liberalize the political system, which he tightened during his 2000-2008 presidency, by reinstating popular elections of regional governors and allowing more political parties.More firmly than before, however, he ruled out holding a early parliamentary election - one of the main demands voiced by protesters angry over suspected fraud in his ruling party's favor in a December 4 vote and dismayed by his plans to stay in power for a last six more years.No, he said when asked whether he would call for an early election.The opposition hopes to keep up pressure and plans protests in central Moscow and other cities on Monday. Opposition leaders say they suspect the vote will be rigged to ensure he avoids a second-round runoff by winning more than 50 percent.The protests were fueled by suspicions Putin's United Russia party cheated in the December polls and served as an outlet for anger over Putin's plan to swap jobs with Medvedev.The plan deepened frustrations among Russians who believe the formal elections give them little real say in politics.Putin defended his decision, saying he and Medvedev honestly and clearly told the country of their plans ahead of the parliamentary and presidential elections.Did we trick anybody? ... No, he said. Putin, who will be inaugurated in May if he wins the presidency, reiterated that he plans to make Medvedev prime minister.

In the latest opinion survey by independent pollster Levada Center, conducted in February, 66 percent of voters who planned to vote and had decided on a candidate said they would vote for Putin.Putin, who steered Medvedev into the Kremlin in 2008 and became prime minister when he faced a constitutional bar on a third consecutive term as president, could run for another six -year term in 2018.He suggested serving another term after 2018 would be normal, if everything is working out, if people like it.But I don' know whether I want to sit (in power) for 20-odd years. I have not yet decided for myself.(Writing by Alissa de Carbonnel; Editing by Steve Gutterman and Maria Golovnina)

BP reaches $7.8 billion deal over Gulf of Mexico spill ReutersBy Andrew Longstreth | Reuters – MAR 3,12

NEW YORK (Reuters) - BP Plc has reached an estimated $7.8 billion deal with businesses suing over the massive 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the company said on Friday, but the oil giant still faces claims by the U.S. government, Gulf states and drilling partners.U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, in an order made three days before the case had been due to go to trial, said the proposed terms of the class settlement would be submitted to court for approval.He had already delayed the start of the trial to allow the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee, representing fisherman and businesses whose livelihoods they said were damaged by the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig and massive oil spill from the Macondo well, to negotiate.

Lawyers for the committee, Stephen Herman and James Roy, said the settlement would compensate hundreds of thousands of victims.It does the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people, they said.BP said the cost of the proposed settlement would be around $7.8 billion, including a commitment of $2.3 billion to help resolve loss claims related to the Gulf seafood industry.It said the proposed settlement was not an admission of liability and that BP would assign to the plaintiffs some of its claims against Transocean and Halliburton.

OTHER CLAIMS PENDING

Apart from BP, which owned 65 percent of the Macondo well, the main corporate defendants are Switzerland-based Transocean Ltd, which owned the Deepwater Horizon, and Houston-based Halliburton Co, which provided cementing services for the well. They are also suing each other. Several other companies are involved in the trial.
Eleven people were killed in the explosion on April 20, 2010, and 4.9 million barrels of oil spewed from the mile-deep well in by far the worst offshore U.S. oil spill.A settlement would remove a significant portion of the complex case, but it would not put an end to BP's exposure.The oil giant still faces claims by the U.S. government, which is pursuing violations of the Clean Water Act and other laws, which could result in fines totaling billions of dollars.BP also faces claims from Gulf states as well as its drilling partners.Delays or deals made by other players do not change the facts of this case and we are fully prepared to argue the merits of our case based on those facts, said a spokesman for Transocean.The U.S. Justice Department said it was prepared to go to trial to hold those responsible accountable for outstanding federal claims.The United States will continue to work closely with all five Gulf states to ensure that any resolution of the federal law enforcement and damage claims, including natural resources damages, arising out of this unprecedented environmental disaster is just, fair and restores the Gulf for the benefit of the people of the Gulf states,department spokesman Wyn Hornbuckle said.

David Uhlmann, a University of Michigan law professor and former chief of the Justice Department's environmental crimes section, said the settlement was good news for the victims of the Gulf oil spill who will see their losses compensated much more quickly than the victims of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.It also paves the way for BP to negotiate agreements with the federal and state governments and begin the process of moving beyond the Gulf oil spill,he said.(Additional reporting by Andrea Shalal-Esa in Washington; Editing by Nick Macfie)

DID FRAUD MUSLIM OBAMA HAVE BREITBART OFFED BECAUSE OF EXPOSING HIS AYERS COMMUNIST-MUSLIM SYMPOTHIZING BELIEFS TO DESTROY AMERICA AND DETAIN ITS CIT

Obama Birth Certificate and Selective Service Card Faked, Joe Arpaio Concludes
Yahoo! Contributor Network By Carol Bengle Gilbert | Yahoo! Contributor Network – MAR 2,12

2012 just started looking a lot like 2008 all over again.Controversial sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz., declared President Barack Obama's birth certificate and Selective Service card fakes Thursday, according to the Washington Times. Arpaio says his investigators used law enforcement tools to test the authenticity of Obama's identity documents, working on their own time.While not accusing the president directly, Arpaio said his investigators' findings constitute evidence of fraud, forgery and other criminal offenses.Here's why Arpaio says the president's documentation doesn't pass muster:

* The president's long-form birth certificate never existed in paper form, lead investigator Mike Zullo said, according to CBS News. He says Hawaii officials may have deliberately kept original 1961 birth records from being examined.

* According to ABC News, Arpaio said the date stamp and registrar's stamp on the birth certificate appear to have been imported from outside sources. NPR explained the basis for that charge, saying the stamps were on different layers of the document and could be moved about in editing software. NPR said its own test did not find the document to be multi-layered.

* A look a records for twins born at the same hospital as Obama one day earlier proved that there were microfiche records from the era, Arpaio told Phoenix New Times. Microfiche copies of the president's birth record have not been acknowledged to exist.

* Arpaio said the there are inconsistencies in the text characters used in the long form birth certificate released by the White House.

* The 1980 date on Obama's Selective Service registration card was created by cutting the date 2008 to read just 08 and flipping it to make the 80 portion of 1980, according to the Arpaio investigators. Zullo says the card isn't just forged; it's poorly forged, according to NPR.

* Arpaio's team also claims Immigration and Naturalization Service international arrival records for the month August 1961 contain a gap- there are no records for the week of Obama's birth, they say.Arpaio is subject to a federal grand jury investigation for abuse of power, unrelated to the birther issue, and several critics contend the beleaguered sheriff is seeking to draw attention away from his own legal problems with this investigation.

Breitbart’s Footage Shows Obama Palling Around With Terrorists-Obama’s Weather Underground friends wanted Communist dictatorship set up in America Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Friday, March 2, 2012

The footage that Andrew Breitbart planned to release just hours after his untimely death would have proven hugely damaging to President Obama’s re-election hopes, because it shows Obama fraternizing with Weather Underground terrorists whose goal it was to set up a Communist dictatorship inside the United States.According to former FBI agent Larry Grathwohl, who was assigned to infiltrate the Weather Underground’s Central Committee, the organization run by Bill Ayers carried out bombings targeting the Pentagon, the State Department, as well as police stations and federal buildings, in an attempt to cause the United States government to collapse and open the door for Cuban, North Vietnamese, Chinese and Russian troops to occupy the country.Grathwohl stated that Ayers and his group planned to deal with Americans who would try to resist this takeover by establishing re-education centers in the south-west. Asked what he would do with those who still refused to convert to communism, Ayers said that they would have to be eliminated, as in 25 million Americans would be killed in concentration camps.Grathwohl points out that most of the people advocating this brutality had graduate degrees from Columbia and other well known educational centers, and relates the shock it was to listen to these people figure out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people – and they were dead serious.

Although Obama’s links with Bill Ayers and other radicals from the era has been well documented for years, after all it was Ayers who helped launch Obama’s political career, for him to be seen on video ‘palling’ around with terrorists who wanted to set up a brutal Communist dictatorship inside the United States would have represented a public relations nightmare going into the election.In the aftermath of Breitbart’s death, it remains to be seen whether the footage will still be released, or if it is released whether it will carry anything like the same impact it would have generated if Breitbart had still been around to push it.As we reported earlier, Breitbart himself made a chilling and prophetic statement when referring to the footage during an event in Washington DC three weeks ago when he told Lawrence Sinclair, Wait til they see what happens March 1st.Breitbart had been teasing the release of the footage during speeches throughout last month, notably at CPAC where he told the audience, I’ve got videos – this election we’re going to vet him, adding that the video shows Obama meeting a bunch of silver pony tails, including Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.In another bizarre twist of irony, Breitbart himself actually had dinner with Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn just last month. Breitbart’s friend Tucker Carlson mischievously won a bid on an auction to dine with the two radicals and invited Breitbart along. Breitbart called Ayers a sociopath, but also remarked that he was a great chef.Given the fact that his death occurred just hours before the planned release of the Obama footage, the claim that Breitbart could have been the victim of a political assassination has dominated political discussion forums over the past 24 hours.Radio talk show host Michael Savage added fuel to the fire during his broadcast yesterday when he floated the idea that the Obama administration could be behind Breitbart’s death.Given that we know what we have in the White House….are we allowed to ask the question….should there be an investigation,asked Savage, adding that he had met privately with Breitbart twice and urged him to get security guards and not walk alone at night in the street, because of the danger he was putting himself in by so publicly attacking Obama.Do you think it’s possible that he was executed, assassinated by some nefarious forces in America – have we now become South America in the 1970′s where people start to disappear?, asked Savage, speculating that Breitbart could have been surreptitiously injected with a substance that triggered a heart attack, or had an electronic device beamed at his chest.Listen to the audio of Michael Savage below.

Breitbart: Wait Til They See What Happens March 1st-Breitbart died hours before planned release of damning Obama footage Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Friday, March 2, 2012
http://www.infowars.com/breitbart-wait-til-they-see-what-happens-march-1st/

In a stunning coincidence, It appears Andrew Breitbart suffered his untimely death just hours before he was set to release damning video footage that could have sunk Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.Around three weeks ago on February 9 during the Blog Bash event in Washington DC, Breitbart made a prophetic comment that takes on a somewhat chilling nature given the fact that he died in the early hours of March 1st.Speaking to Lawrence Sinclair of Sinclair News, Breitbart stated, Wait til they see what happens March 1st.It’s almost certain that Breitbart was referring to his plan to release damning footage of President Obama that he had been promising to reveal throughout the month of February.As we reported yesterday, Breitbart spoke of his intention to release the tape during his CPAC speech last month. The footage shows Obama in his college days appearing alongside former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Observers had speculated that the footage could have derailed Obama’s hopes for a second term.I’ve got video from his college days that show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008 – the videos are going to come out, said Breitbart, adding that Obama would be vetted.

You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to appreciate the downright weirdness of Breitbart predicting a major event to occur on March 1st, only for him to end up dying on that very date. Breitbart was officially pronounced dead at 12:19am.
Although the cause of Breitbart’s death was hastily reported to be of natural causes, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office have refused to confirm anything until an autopsy has been performed.According to marketing executive Arthur Sando, Breitbart spent his final hour in a bar near his home called the Brentwood sipping red wine and talking politics. After leaving the bar at around 11:30pm, Breitbart began to walk home before apparently suffering a fatal heart attack.Although it is reported that Breitbart was rushed to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, when Lawrence Sinclair called the hospital, they denied that anyone by that name had been admitted within the previous 72 hours.Watch the CPAC video below where Breitbart mentions the Obama footage he had seemingly planned to release just hours before his death.http://www.infowars.com/breitbart-wait-til-they-see-what-happens-march-1st/

Obama: US Support for Israel Sacrosanct-US president Barack Obama is seeking to shore up his Israel credentials as he prepares for a high-profile meeting with Israel's leader.By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 3/2/2012, 2:10 PM

US President Barack Obama on Thursday called US support for Israel sacrosanct and vowed to ensure the Jewish state retains its military superiority.Obama's comments come ahead of a March 5 meeting at the White House with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is making a full court press to ensure US commitment to decisive action against Iran's nuclear program.Netanyahu has gone on record saying Obama's sanctions regimine is not working to deter Iran from seeking nuclear weapons, a sentiment echoed by senior US intelligence officials.One of our long-term goals in that region is to make sure that the sacrosanct commitment that we make to Israel's security is not only a matter of providing them the military capabilities they need, not only providing the sort of qualitative military edge that they need in a very tough neighborhood,Obama said on Thursday at a fund raiser in New York.The United States also should co-operate with Israel to try to bring about a peace in the region that can be lasting, Obama said. And that is a challenge.During Obama's speech a woman yelled, Use your leadership! No war in Iran! Obama responded, Nobody's announced a war, young lady. You're jumping the gun a little bit.The Netanyahu-Obama meeting coincides with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference, at which both leaders – and Obama's potential GOP rivals in the 2012 presidential elections – are expected to speak.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) earlier this week made an aggressive pre-buttal against potential attacks on President Barack Obama during the AIPAC conference, which analysts say is a part of Obama's push to shore up his weak Israel credentials.The DNC is concerned that Obama's policy on Israel – with whom relations are at a startling nadir – will become a major point of contention and open the door to attacks by Republican candidates seeking to capitalize on Israel as a talking point in their campaigns.America's Jewish vote, while small, is concentrated in key electoral college states where victory in previous elections has been hotly contested, or achieved by mere thousands of votes.Israel has also become a major issue for pro-Israel Americans, with divisions between Washington and Jerusalem over Iran's nuclear program leading to sharp questioning of senior officials in the Obama administration by US lawmakers.Leaks by the Obama administration compromising Israel's standing in its face-off with Iran, and potentially compromising Israeli military plans, have also backfired on the White House and created a perception of active hostility towards Jerusalem.So has the growing perception that administration officials – seeking to break the ice with Tehran amid the nuclear standoff – are giving both Jerusalem and Riyadh the cold shoulder.As a result – with Obama’s re-election anxieties running high – Netanyahu is seen as being in a rare power position as he heads to Washington.Iran is expected to be the central issue in Netanyahu’s talks with Obama on Monday.

Op-Ed: Ten Minutes on Honor Killings Published: Thursday, March 01, 2012 10:52 PM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4Zj1J01z6s&feature=player_embedded
Phyllis Chesler told Canadians about honor killings on a Canadian TV station. Now you can watch her tell the shocking story.Prof. Phyllis Chesler

I recently joined Michael Coren at Sun TV in Canada for the second time. The interview took place at the Time Warner building where CNN provides studios for other networks. The view of Columbus Circle, which also houses the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Jazz at Lincoln Center, is breathtaking, very Old New York. One contemplates Central Park trees, a manicured circular garden, and of course, the statues of Christopher Columbus and the USS Maine National Monument, a memorial to sailors who died on board the USS Maine in 1898 in Havana, Cuba.The Sun studio driver was an exceedingly courtly gentleman who unfurled an overly large and comforting umbrella and walked me into and out of the car in the driving rain. Nice touch.Back in the olden days, television and radio studios had no security. And, then things changed: first, one's name was kept on a list and one had to show photo IDs; then, escorts were provided; finally Israeli-style security systems were installed, complete with metal detectors and equipment to monitor attaché cases and handbags, just like in airports today.And then--one does what one came to do. Look into a completely black camera and engage with one's delightful host who can be heard, but not seen. I was there to speak about honor killings (see video below). There were many important things that I did not have time to discuss.

I should have congratulated Canada for prosecuting both the actual perpetrators and the collaborators in the Shafia Honor Killing. However, the 25 years without parole sentence for the murder of the four Muslim female victims only amounts to 6 1/2 years for each victim. Not good enough. (Am I this bloodthirsty?)I should also have congratulated Canada for, after twelve years, and a complex legal battle, now being ready to extradite Malkit Kaur Sidhu, the heartless Sikh-Canadian mother who had her daughter brutally murdered abroad because the young woman had dared to marry a social inferior.Canada did not try Aqsa Parvez's mother who lured her daughter home from a protective shelter. The United States did not try the Said sisters' mother who also lured her girls home to certain death at their father's hand in Irving, Texas. Nor did the US try Noor Almaleki's mother who helped her husband flee. It should have done so. These mothers are all accessories to murder.Host Michael Coren (an excellent interviewer), gave me the opportunity to own my own research. He noted that 91% of honor killings in the West are perpetrated by Muslims. And, said I, that statistic is mine, I reported that precise percentage in my 2010 study published at Middle East Quarterly.I quickly pointed out that Hindus and Sikhs do commit honor killings as well but they do so mainly in India; Hindu immigrants do not conduct themselves this way in the West. For nearly two years now, various people have used that particular statistic without noting where it came from.Ah--I do go on. Here, watch the interview. I hope you find it enlightening.

Florida mulls outlawing Shariah, other foreign law
Associated PressBy MATT SEDENSKY | Associated Press – MAR 2,12

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A measure to ban the use of foreign laws in domestic courtrooms is progressing in Florida's statehouse, one of dozens of similar efforts across the country that critics call an unwarranted campaign driven by fear of Muslims.Forty such bills are being pursued in 24 states, according to a tally by the National Conference of State Legislatures, a movement backers say is a response to a glaring hole in legal protections for Americans. Opponents say the bills simply address a made-up threat and could threaten agreements made under Jewish or other religious law.There have been all sorts of wild accusations about what this bill does, said Sen. Alan Hays, R-Umatilla, who sponsored the Senate bill in Florida. This is very clear, very simple: In American courts we need American laws and no other.The Florida measure passed the House on Thursday 92-24. It awaits a full vote in the Senate.If passed, Florida would join three other states — Louisiana, Arizona and Tennessee — in approving legislation curtailing the use of foreign laws. An Oklahoma ballot measure got 70 percent approval, but it goes a step further in specifically mentioning Sharia, the Islamic system of law. A federal court has blocked the measure's implementation until its constitutionality is determined.

The twin House and Senate bills in Florida make no mention of Shariah law or any other specific foreign system. The language of the legislation, in fact, seems innocuous, outlawing the use of foreign law only when it violates rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, and only in certain domestic situations, such as divorces and child custody cases. It does not apply to businesses and says it shouldn't be construed to prohibit any religious organization from making judgments in ecclesiastical matters.But that's done little to quiet critics who see such legislation as right-wing fear mongering.It's a waste of time and irrelevant legislation, said Nezar Hamze, head of the Miami chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. But the motive behind it is very troubling.The most fervently outspoken supporters of such bills caution Shariah law could begin to spread outside of Muslim countries in a slow-speed Islamic takeover of the world. Others, seeking to appeal to the masses, say not outlawing Shariah jeopardizes the rights of American women.Though Shariah law was an unrecognizable term to nearly every American just a few years ago, it has become much more mainstream. Dangers of Shariah have been aired on the campaign trail, in tea party rallies and on cable news.One of the most persistent voices on the issue is David Yerushalmi, a Brooklyn lawyer who drafted model legislation on the foreign law issue and who has waged a quiet campaign to ensure Shariah is outlawed in the U.S.Yerushalmi's views have made him a lightning rod; he even declines to say where in Florida he lived as a child because he has family that still calls it home and he says he fears for their safety. He disputes characterizations of him as a bigot.

Yerushalmi calls Shariah an offensive foreign law but he says even if critics are right, and that he and other proponents of such legislation are acting on prejudice, legislatures have nothing to lose by outlawing it.If you're right and Shariah is everything that is good and noble and doesn't have all the ugly things that we understand it to have, he said, then such legislation simply will have no effect on the public. He notes people found to have committed adultery can be stoned under Shariah law.The Florida bills include passages from Yerushalmi's model legislation, which was written for a group called the American Public Policy Alliance. The leader of that organization, Stephen Gele, says there are egregious court cases that have shown Shariah is a threat in the U.S., with foreign judgments on divorces and child custody allowed to stand.It's probably a small percentage of a court's docket, but certainly if you're the woman who lost her child to Pakistan, it's important to you, he said, citing a case in which he said a mother lost custody because of a foreign ruling.An estimated 1.3 million Americans identify as Muslim, according to the 2008 American Religious Identification Survey, a respected count published by Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. That amounts to fewer than 1 percent of the population nationally. Florida has a similar share.If passed, Hamze said, Florida's legislation would have virtually no effect because he says he's not aware of the issue ever coming up in a state courtroom. He believes the message, however, would be a harmful one.Others have come to the side of Muslim advocates, including the Anti-Defamation League, a prominent defender of Jewish causes. Andrew Rosenkranz, regional director for the ADL in Florida, issued a statement calling the bills unnecessary and saying they could jeopardize agreements reached in religious settings such as a Jewish tribunal.

The alleged threat of Islamic, other religious or foreign law to Florida's court system is completely illusory, and the Senate's consideration of this measure is an unwise use of resources, Rosenkranz said. At best, this bill is wholly redundant as the Florida and U.S. constitutions already prohibit the unconstitutional application of foreign law in the courts.Hays said those who oppose the bill are mistaken about its intentions. He said he wasn't aware what led to the legislation's introduction — another version of it failed last year — or who might have had a role in crafting its language, which he said was ultimately put together by the House sponsor, Rep. Larry Metz, R-Yalaha. Metz did not return a call seeking comment.I don't care where the law comes from or who the originators of the law are, Hayes said. He said those with concerns need to do just one thing to ease their fears: Read the bill.Follow Matt Sedensky on Twitter at www.twitter.com/sedensky .

Netanyahu to Demand Obama Commit to Military Action in Iran-Prime Minister Netanyahu will demand that President Barack Obama commit to a strike on Iran if sanctions fail, say sources.By Elad Benari First Publish: 3/2/2012, 6:15 AM

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will press U.S. President Barack Obama for an explicit threat of military action against Iran if sanctions fail and Tehran's nuclear program advances beyond specified red lines, it was reported on Thursday.
According to the British Guardian, Netanyahu is expected to raise the issue during his meeting on Monday at the White House with Obama.The report quoted diplomats as having said that Israel is angered by the Obama administration's public disparaging of early military action against Iran, saying that it weakens the prospect of Tehran taking the warnings from Israel seriously.While the two sides are attempting to agree on a joint public statement to paper over the divide, the Guardian noted, the talks will not be made easier by a deepening distrust in which the Israelis question Obama's commitment to confront Iran.One diplomatic source was quoted as having told the Guardian that Netanyahu and Obama are poles apart.The White House believes there is time for sanctions to work and that military threats don't help. The Israelis regard this as woolly thinking,said the source, adding, They see Iran as headed towards a bomb, even though they agree there is no evidence Tehran has made that decision yet, and they want the White House to up the ante. The White House has the Europeans behind its position but it's losing Congress.

Israeli officials, the Guardian reported, say that Netanyahu is not happy with Obama's vague assertion that all options are on the table in dealing with Iran. Netanyahu wants Obama to state unequivocally that Washington is prepared to use force if Iran's nuclear program advances beyond specified red lines, they said.
Sources in the U.S. administration say, however, that Obama is unlikely to make a major shift in policy in public although he may give Netanyahu firmer assurances in private.Despite Obama’s position, U.S. military officials said Wednesday that America is preparing a plan to strike Iranian nuclear targets in the event that sanctions fail to persuade Tehran to halt its hurtle towards atomic development.A report by the Bloomberg news agency quoted U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff General Norton Schwartz as saying such a strike would be carried out if Iran fails to prove its nuclear develop program is geared solely towards peaceful purposes.The report indicated that options under consideration included the possibility of aerial refueling for Israeli planes as part of the assault. Targets under consideration included the regime in Tehran, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Ministry of Intelligence and Security, the Quds Force, and various Iranian military bases.
Meanwhile, a poll released Thursday said that 81 percent of Israelis oppose a solo Israeli attack against Iran.The poll, taken by the Dahaf organization in Israel on behalf of the Brookings Institution, found that if, on the other hand, Washington approved an Israeli action against Iran, some two thirds of Israelis would support it. 34% would oppose a strike regardless of Washington's approval.

Syria Civil War Comes Close to Israeli Border-At least 15 people killed in clashes between Assad's forces and army deserters, just 2 kilometers from the border with Israel.By Elad Benari First Publish: 3/2/2012, 5:42 AM

The civil war in Syria seems to be approaching Israel’s borders, according to reports received on Thursday.A Syrian human rights organization said that at least 15 people were killed throughout Thursday in clashes between Syrian President Bashar Assad's army and rebels in the Quneitra province.The organization said the fighting took place in the village of Jebata al-Khashab, which is located just two kilometers from the border fence with Israel.The Syrian organization said in a statement, Clashes have been taking place since the morning between Assad’s army and a group of deserters in a village near the occupied Golan Heights.The statement said eight soldiers and seven deserters were killed in the clashes.It was the first time since the uprising against Assad began last March that clashes were reported so close to the border with Israel.The capital of the Quneitra province is the city of Quneitra, which was conquered by Israeli troops during the 1967 Six Day War. It was briefly recaptured by Syria during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, but Israel regained control in a subsequent counter-offensive.The city was almost completely destroyed before Israeli withdrew from it in June of 1974. Today, it lies in a demilitarized United Nations Disengagement Observer Force Zone between Syria and Israel, a short distance from the de facto border between the two countries, and is populated by only a handful of families.

The clashes in Quneitra come after earlier reports that forces loyal to President Bashar Assad have taken over the Baba Amr neighborhood in the city of Homs, the leading stronghold of the anti-Assad rebellion.According to reports on Thursday, most of the rebels in the Baba Amr section retreated after withstanding three weeks of government shelling. Opposition members called the retreat tactical and noted that a few combatants remained inside Baba Amr in order to provide for cover for their retreating colleagues.The assault on Homs, which began February 4, has left hundreds of civilians dead. An Iranian armored brigade was spotted by Syrian Army defectors who are among the opposition forces, and who say that Iran and Lebanon-based Hizbullah terrorists have joined with Assad's troops in the assault Syrian citizens.

Twenty five EU leaders sign German-model fiscal treaty Today MAR 2,12 @ 09:32 By Honor Mahony

BRUSSELS - Germany's vision of an EU of fiscally prudent states held in check by tight budgetary laws and the threat of legal action came a step closer on Friday (2 March) when 25 leaders signed a new treaty on fiscal discipline.In a low-key signing ceremony, all countries except the UK and the Czech Republic, became signatories to the 16-article pact, which, after going under a variety of monikers, has now been lumbered with the title Treaty on stability, co-ordination and governance in the economic and monetary union.Its effects will be deep and long-lasting. said EU council president Herman Van Rompuy ahead of the signing, adding that it will help prevent a repetition of the debt crisis.In line with Berlin's wishes, the text includes an article obliging those that ratify it to enshrine a balanced budget into national law, while a country breaching the budget deficit rules will be subject to intense surveillance, with curbed discretionary spending powers, and obliged to carry out an agreed list of structural reforms.Ahead of the signing, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the treaty represented a strong signal on how the EU is dealing with the eurozone crisis and spoke of a politically unified Europe of the future.The treaty was drawn up in a record two months but it is an only intergovernmental agreement, after the UK in December vetoed a full-blown EU treaty change.

The awkward status - outside the EU's normal architecture - has had lawyers scratching their heads over how to get EU institutions to implement it. It has also weakened the treaty's bite as countries breaching the implementation of the balanced budget rules can only be brought to court by another member state - a politically difficult option.The treaty will go into force once 12 of the 17 euro countries have ratified it, and only those that have done so will have access to the eurozone's permanent bail-out fund, the ESM - a provision pushed by Berlin.The agreement foresees that eurozone country leaders will hold summits twice a year, an arrangement that some non-euro countries fear will fortify divisions between the ins and outs.Designed to ease German political and public opposition to further bail-outs, critics say the treaty, with its belt-tightening focus, risks worsening Europe's struggling economy.The biggest debate on the treaty is likely to be in Ireland where it will be put to a referendum - the debate has already started about what concessions Ireland should seek to sweeten the vote for a population looking to vent its anger at having to foot the bill for bad behaviour by banks.Another wrinkle in German Chancellor Angela Merkel's plan is the possible election of Francois Hollande as French President later this spring.Hollande - while backpedalling on previous, much stronger comments - has said he wants the treaty to have more emphasis on growth and questioned the exact role of the European court.

Grey mouse' EU chairman picked for second term
01.03.12 @ 19:53 By Honor Mahony

BRUSSELS - Herman Van Rompuy, the Haiku-writing, self-styled grey mouse of European politics, has been elected to a second term as head of the European Council, with his understated style credited with keeping the show on the road during the ongoing eurozone crisis.With little ado, and early on in the EU leader's meeting beginning Thursday evening (1 March), the former Belgian prime minister - unchallenged - was tasked with carrying on for a further two and a half years.Very honoured that all European Council members have decided to ask me to continue as European Council President for a 2nd mandate, Van Rompuy tweeted after the result.The first ever to hold the post, which is vaguely defined in the EU's latest treaty as driving forward EU leaders' summits, Van Rompuy's take on the job has been almost complete political self-effacement in return for gaining the trust of the 27 leaders.He started the job at the beginning of 2010, just when the scale of the Greek debt crisis was becoming apparent. His first speech was on the importance of growing Europe's economy. But most of his time has been spent managing the ensuing eurozone crisis - including keeping leaders from completely falling out with one another, blunting the feeling the EU is run by Berlin and Paris, and stopping major rifts between those in and outside the single currency.

The result has been the uncontroversial re-election on Thursday but at the expense of having a public persona - he remains little known outside the Brussels bubble.
One senior diplomat remarking on Van Rompuy's tenure so far said: He's kept the show on the road, which is quite an achievement.I think the overall view is that in an extraordinary difficult time, he has handled matters pretty well. He has shown a level of discretion and diplomacy and he is well liked and respected by his peers.Hugo Brady, from the London-based Centre for European Reform, says Van Rompuy's non-confrontational style, honed by his time in fractious Belgian politics where the art of compromise is king, is what the EU needs just now.On balance, he has done a good job. You have to think about what it would have been like during the crisis if the old system - of rotating presidencies every six months - had still been in place.He has been such as shoo-in for re-election, says Brady, because it is hard to see what other politician has his skills. Although, frankly, I am not sure who else would want such a job.

Mr Euro, too

Another measure of his success is that he was also appointed chair of the twice-yearly eurozone summits, a controversial new set-up contained in the fiscal compact treaty.This is where trust becomes an extremely valuable currency, says Piotr Kaczynski from the Centre for European Policy Studies, a Brussels-based think tank.
Non euro states are already concerned that the French-pushed idea will drive a further wedge between the euro ins and outs.A diplomat from a non-euro state, noting Van Rompuy's even-handed treatment of member states, said we are not concerned by the appointment.Sometimes his political nous deserts him, however. At a meeting in June he ruffled feathers by circulating a glossy brochure about his expensive new headquarters when EU leaders were supposed to be discussing Greece's debt woes.
Meanwhile, according to Kaczynski, Van Rompuy might have nailed the behind-the-scenes dynamics, but he should do more to bridge the disconnect with citizens.
The general public doesn't know who the guy is. And this is despite him being very influential.Nevertheless, the Belgian politician who once remarked that he appeared to have gone from grey mouse to putschist in the eyes of the press, has a cult following in Japan.There, he is appreciated for his 17-syllable Japanese poetry, if not for his backstage political acumen.

EU leaders meet on economy, Schengen and Serbia
01.03.12 @ 10:14 By Valentina Pop

BRUSSELS - A two-day EU summit starts Thursday evening (1 March) in Brussels with EU leaders set to look at statistics showing where each country stands in terms of public deficit, labour taxes and retirement ages.A discussion paper prepared by EU council chief Herman Van Rompuy, and seen by EUobserver, lists several priority measures aimed at countering the recession in many member states in 2012.Unusually, the paper goes into some detail with charts showing how each member state fares in a particular area.One chart shows the public deficit in 2011 and the 2012 deficit target for each country compared to the three-percent of GDP limit set by EU rules.

Ireland, Greece and the UK carry the largest deficits - above eight percent of GDP - while Sweden is the only EU country on budget surplus.On R&D spending which remains a challenge for many member states, the paper shows that Sweden and the UK invested most in research and development while Malta and Bulgaria languish at the other end of the scale.Meanwhile Belgium charges the highest labour taxes (around 50%) followed by France and Germany. Malta and Ireland have the lowest rates.The paper also notes that those at risk of poverty in Spain, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and the Baltic countries has risen by 20 percent between 2005 and 2010.

Greece

With fresh budget cuts passed by the Greek parliament in the early hours of Thursday, EU leaders are likely to hear good news from eurozone chief Jean-Claude Juncker who will chair a meeting of finance ministers ahead of the EU summit, which is set to start at 6PM Brussels time.Finance ministers are supposed to give the green light to a €5bn tranche for Greece from its first 2010 bail-out.They are also expected to approve €35bn from the eurozone bail-out fund guaranteeing Greek loans during a bond swap operation – an operation which by 11 March is supposed to slash €100bn off Greece's debt.

Schengen and Serbia

Despite EU commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso’s prediction that this summit will see less drama than previous meetings, EU sources told this website that discussions on Schengen enlargement and Serbia’s EU candidate status could be lengthy.Romania earlier this week surprised colleagues by threatening to veto the Balkan country's upgrade over minority rights issues. Its foreign minister later backed down. But its leader could still cause trouble at the summit.Bucharest’s move is seen as an attempt to pressure the Netherlands, which had vetoed Romania and Bulgaria's accession to the border-free Schengen area last year.But it is seen as having overplayed its hand by some. The Romanians lost a lot of Schengen sympathy over the Serbian issue one EU diplomat said.A compromise text sought by the Van Rompuy team on Thursday would agree in principle to Bulgaria and Romania getting the Schengen green light in September.This would follow a second report by the European Commission on how corruption and organised crime are tackled in the two countries – with the report a pre-condition for the Dutch government to reconsider its veto.

More violent weather ahead for damaged communities
Associated PressBy JIM SUHR | Associated Press – MAR 2,12

HARRISBURG, Ill. (AP) — Crews cleared splintered plywood and smashed appliances from small-town neighborhoods Thursday, a day after tornadoes killed 13 people in the Midwest and South. But the forecast held a menacing possibility: More twisters may be coming, and they could be even stronger.Damaged communities tried to take advantage of the brief break in the weather, mindful of one meteorologist's warning that by Friday, both regions would again be right in the bull's eye.Skies were sunny in the southern Illinois community of Harrisburg, where Darrell Osman was back in the rubble of his dead mother's home, trying to salvage whatever he could. When he arrived, a neighbor handed him his mother's wallet, which the twister had dropped in a truck near her home.He couldn't help but think of the pain that would be inflicted if another twister hit Harrisburg, a town of 9,000 where six people died.On a personal level, I think I've been hit as hard as I can be hit, but it would be disheartening for this community, Osman said.Kera Wise searched the ruins of her aunt and uncle's home after the two were hospitalized in neighboring Indiana with injuries they suffered in the storm.Wise figured she had little time to waste in rounding up her aunt's prized trove of Elvis memorabilia and Beenie Babies. Another line of storms could ruin anything left exposed to the elements.You just keep thinking, God, please don't let there be another tornado.National Weather Service meteorologist Beverly Poole said severe storms are expected to roll through the region again after midnight Thursday and linger into early Friday, possibly bringing hail and rain.Then yet another system is expected to arrive Friday afternoon.Both rounds of violent weather carry the potential of more tornadoes, Poole said.The weather service planned to bring a severe-weather specialist to the region's command center to provide up-to-the-minute information before and during the storms.Osman awoke before Wednesday's storm because he was alerted by his special weather radio. He said early warning equipment was essential.The peace of mind you get from it sitting on your dresser is well worth the cost, he said.

Authorities warned that the next line of storms was forecast to take a similar path and potentially grow stronger than Wednesday's system.Ryan Jewell, a meteorologist with the Storm Prediction Center, said the Midwest and South will be squarely in the center of the danger zone.Wednesday's fatalities spanned four states. In addition to the Illinois deaths, one person was killed in the Missouri town of Buffalo, while two more fatalities were reported in the state's Cassville and Puxico areas. All three died in mobile homes.A Harveyville, Kan., man suffered fatal injuries after his home collapsed on him, and three more people were killed in eastern Tennessee.
Another twister hopscotched down the main thoroughfare of the country music mecca of Branson, Mo., damaging some of the city's famous theaters just days before the start of the town's crucial tourist season.Local leaders insisted Branson was open for business, but they expected the full cleanup to take weeks.In Harrisburg, Levi Fogle and Sarah Pearce — parents of three young daughters — were grateful that their entire family survived without a scratch even though two oak trees toppled onto their home.God held my house up, there's no doubt about that, Pearce said Thursday as Fogle strummed a guitar, shaking it at times to jingle the glass fragments that got inside after the instrument was left in the backseat of a car.The Harrisburg tornado was an EF4, the second-highest rating given to twisters based on damage. Scientists said it was 200 yards wide with winds up to 170 mph.Adding to the danger was the storm's timing: It hit when many people were fast slept.Meteorologist Harold Brooks called that unusual but not completely uncommon.Brooks, with the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Okla., said perhaps 10 percent of tornadoes strike between midnight and 6 a.m., a time when storms are harder to spot, and it's harder to get the word out.If you're asleep, you're less likely going to hear anything, any warning message, Brooks said.That didn't appear to be the case in Harrisburg, where the mayor credited storm spotters for saving lives.In Tennessee, donated storage units were to be offered to families whose homes were damaged so they could protect possessions before the next round of storms.The brother-in-law of a woman who was killed said he found her under some debris and held her hand until paramedics arrived.George Jones and several relatives gathered Thursday at the shattered mobile home of Melissa Evans Beaty outside the small city of Crossville, about 110 miles east of Nashville.He said Beaty, whom they called Lisa, was alive and asking about her grandchildren after the twister passed.The children were all right, but Beaty later died, and her husband, Ricky, was taken to a Knoxville hospital with a fractured pelvis and severe head trauma, Jones said.We would give anything, to have Lisa back, he added.The couple's home was completely destroyed, with pieces wrapped around nearby trees.Bunny Howe survived with her 9-year-old grandsons by climbing into a bathtub as she watched the wind pick up one of her horses in the back yard, then overturn part of a tractor-trailer in the front yard.

That's when she got on top of the children and held the bathroom door shut with her feet.The children asked her, Ma, what are we going to do? She told them, We're going to pray.The tornado tore off a wall of the Howes' garage and toppled a tree onto the roof.After all that, Howe said, she's not overly concerned about storms predicted for Friday.What's it going to do? she asked. Take the rest of the house down? Associated Press Writer Kristin M. Hall in Crossville, Tenn., contributed to this report.

Communist Kremlin hopeful looks to a new generation
ReutersBy Thomas Grove | Reuters – MAR 2,12

NOVOMOSKOVSK, Russia (Reuters) - A flashy campaign advertisement sets the scene after Russia's presidential election: Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov steps out of a black Mercedes in front of the Kremlin, the seat of power since Soviet times.After three failed attempts to win the presidency, the perennial loser of Russian politics is trying to convince the country once again to vote him into the top office in Sunday's election.Addressing the frustration of many Russians who feel powerless to end Vladimir Putin's dominance, a voiceover in the advertisement asks: No choice? There is always a choice, it says, flashing to footage of the stern-faced Communist leader.Zyuganov has fed off of the largest protests Putin has faced in his 12-year rule, seeking support from young voters who do not remember the Soviet Union or his past failures and simply refuse to vote for Putin's third term in office.

He says he is injecting new life into the ranks of a party which until recently has evoked images of poor pensioners nostalgic for the days of Soviet glory, waving red flags and clutching portraits of Stalin.We have the youngest, strongest and most dynamic team in the whole country, Zyuganov told a packed hall at a university in the small western city of Novomoskovsk, on St. Tatiana's Day, celebrated as student's day in Russia.And the youth stand behind us, said the 67-year-old former physics and mathematics teacher.Zyuganov, who climbed the rungs of power as an apparatchik in the Soviet Union's Communist Party, is forecast by pollsters to come a distant second to Putin, who hopes to avoid a runoff by winning more than 50 percent of the vote.He has to fight off his image as a pushover, a willing cog in Putin's political system who is satisfied with second place as long as he and his party retain a swathe of seats in parliament, where the Communists are the second-largest faction.Zyuganov denies it. He says he was first cheated out of an election win in 1996, when an ailing President Boris Yeltsin staged a stunning comeback and beat him in a runoff after a campaign marred by corruption allegations.The other three candidates challenging Putin face similar suspicions.Zyuganov himself wouldn't know what to do if he woke up on March 5 and found out that the country had made him Russia's new president, said one of his young advocates, also a lawmaker.In a country that preserves Bolshevik Revolution leader Vladimir Lenin's body on show in a tomb outside the Kremlin but still struggles with the legacy of 70 years of Communist rule, the inroads Zyuganov has made with young people represent a sea change for a party that had seemed destined to die out with a generation.

WHITE RIBBONS, RED RIBBONS

Shivering in a light snow on a Sunday afternoon, Dmitry Usoltsev, 20, stood on Moscow's Garden Ring road with thousands of others protesting against Putin and his decision to return to the Kremlin.Born the year after the Soviet Union collapsed, he said neither of his parents ever voted for the Communists, but for him, Zyuganov and his platform is the only way to reform.I want a system that isn't afraid of reforms and can carry them out. Putin can't do this because he's afraid, said Usoltsev, wearing a white ribbon - a symbol of the protests.In the current political climate, I'm voting for Zyuganov, because he actually has realistic and concrete measures that can reform the court system, the military, the education system,the law student said.The biggest opposition protests in Putin's Russia were sparked after a December election gave Putin's United Russia party a parliamentary majority despite widespread allegations of electoral fraud.Putin became prime minister in 2008 after eight years as president. Sunday's election is expected to see him return to the country's most powerful position.Zyuganov says his party was cheated out of an election victory in the December 4 poll and he has aligned himself cautiously with the protesters. He has avoided participating in the protests themselves, but has joined their calls for a rerun of the December vote.Sergei Udaltsov, a scrappy street protester who leads the Left Front opposition group, has publicly supported him.The barrel-chested, bass-voiced Communist leader also inked a deal with one of the chief protest leaders, anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny, to take responsibility for thousands of citizens who have signed up to monitor the presidential election for fraud.Not everyone, however, accepts the politician who has a bust of Lenin in his office and has published books on the achievements of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's brutal reign.

A SOVIET MIX

In Novomoskovsk, a city of 130,000 some 200 km (120 miles) south of Moscow, Zyuganov mixed a message of rejuvenation with rhetoric heavy on references to Soviet glory.
During the Soviet era, the city throve on chemical manufacturing and industrial farming.With employment dropping and young people leaving for bigger cities to seek jobs, Novomoskovsk is a prime target for Zyuganov's efforts to win over part of Putin's provincial electorate.Addressing students, he promised to nationalize Russia's oil and gas companies, reform the education system and spread more equally the vast wealth that many Russians believe to be concentrated among Putin's circle of friends.The message holds an attraction for some who have never experienced the Soviet Union but have heard of the security it once provided.If Zyuganov wins he would increase production at factories, he will provide jobs. People wouldn't move to Moscow to find work if there were worthwhile jobs here, said Sergei Vasilkov, 21, a student at the institute.Our city is standing empty. There's no work. The young people are going to Moscow, and the only people who are left are pensioners and alcoholics, everyone else is gone.(Reporting By Thomas Grove; Editing by Steve Gutterman)

China to unveil military budget after U.S. Asia pivot ReutersBy Chris Buckley | Reuters – MAR 2,12

BEIJING (Reuters) - China is likely to unveil its military spending for 2012 on the weekend, flagging the direction that Beijing will take after President Barack Obama launched a new pivot to reinforce U.S. influence across Asia.Beijing has not set a time to announce the yearly budget for the People's Liberation Army (PLA), but it has made a habit of releasing the number at a news conference preceding the annual parliament session, which this year opens on Monday.Though the official Chinese budget is widely thought to undercount real military spending, neighbors and the Obama administration are likely to read the 2012 figure as one signpost of how Beijing is responding to the U.S. focus on the Asia-Pacific and to maritime territorial disputes.The official numbers don't tell us a lot other than the fact that China's defense budget is increasing year on year, said Rory Medcalf of the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Sydney, who specializes in Asian security.

If you're looking at a conflict on China's periphery or within hundreds of kilometers of the Chinese coastline, then already the local balance is -- I wouldn't say in China's favor -- but so China is able to put U.S. forces at risk in ways it couldn't in the past, he added.If you look at a bigger picture than that -- at the aggregate force capability or the global stage -- then of course the U.S. is a long way ahead.China has sought to balance its wariness of U.S. moves with a desire for steady relations with Washington, especially as both sides grapple with domestic politics this year, when Obama faces a re-election fight and China's ruling Communist Party undergoes a leadership handover.Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, who is almost sure to succeed Hu Jintao as president, stressed his desire to keep tension in check when he visited the United States in February.Beijing's growing military capabilities are, however, overlapping with the United States' long-entrenched presence across Asia, creating risks of miscalculation and worse.

ENERGY-RICH SEAS

Obama has sought to reassure Asian allies that the United States will stay a key player in the area, and the Pentagon has said it will rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific region.China has repeatedly warned the United States over its arms sales to Taiwan, the self-ruled island that Beijing calls an illegitimate breakaway from mainland sovereignty.More recently, China's naval reach has extended further, as have tensions over territorial claims.Japan and China have locked horns over islands each claims in the East China Sea; Vietnam, the Philippines and other nations have challenged Beijing over claims to swathes of the South China Sea that could be rich in oil and gas.China's military build-up is likely to continue unabated, irrespective of the recent U.S. moves in Asia, the U.S. military commander for the Asia-Pacific region, Admiral Robert Willard, said on Tuesday.China's party-run parliament, the National People's Congress, more or less automatically approves the PLA budget which throughout the 1990s and the past decade recorded a near-unbroken run of double-digit increases.Last year, China said it would increase defense spending to 601.1 billion yuan ($95.6 billion), a 12.7 percent rise on the previous year, resuming double-digit growth after a dip to 7.5 percent growth in 2010.But the Pentagon estimated China's real total military outlays in 2010 were over $160 billion, which would easily make it the world's second biggest defense spender after the United States.Obama's proposed budget for the fiscal year of 2013 calls for a Pentagon base budget of $525.4 billion, about $5.1 billion less than approved for 2012.

China has advertised its long-term ambitions with shows of new hardware, including its first test flight of a stealth fighter jet in early 2011, and its launch of a fledgling aircraft carrier in August -- both trials of technologies that remain years from deployment.Beijing is also building new submarines, surface ships and anti-ship ballistic missiles as part of its naval modernization.(Editing by Nick Macfie)
