GLAAD is not pleased with A&E's decision reversing the suspension of Phil Robertson from "Duck Dynasty." -"Phil Robertson should look African American and gay people in the eyes and hear about the hurtful impact of praising Jim Crow laws and comparing gay people to terrorists," the organization said in a statement. "If dialogue with Phil is not part of next steps then A+E has chosen profits over African American and gay people – especially its employees and viewers."GLAAD was one of the key groups that condemned Robertson after controversial comments he made about gays and blacks in GQ magazine. The group's outrage helped prompt the suspension of Robertson by A&E.A&E announced that they were lifting the suspension, allowing the show to resume filming in the spring with the entire Robertson family.http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-duck-dynasty-glaad-responds-to-phil-robertons-return-20131227,0,1182256.story#ixzz2omBrIPEI

US MIGHT FINALLY GIVE ISRAEL POLLARD BACK

KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.

And here are the bounderies of the land that Israel will inherit either through war or peace or God in the future. God says its Israels land and only Israels land. They will have every inch God promised them of this land in the future.

Egypt east of the Nile River, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, The southern part of Turkey and the Western Half of Iraq west of the Euphrates. Gen 13:14-15, Psm 105:9,11, Gen 15:18, Exe 23:31, Num 34:1-12, Josh 1:4.ALL THIS LAND ISRAEL WILL DEFINATELY OWN IN THE FUTURE, ITS ISRAELS NOT ISHMAELS LAND.

12 TRIBES INHERIT LAND IN THE FUTURE

EZEKIEL 47:13-23,48:1-35
13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
15 And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
19 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
20 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.
1 Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.
2 And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher.
3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali.
4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh.
5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.
6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben.
7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah.
8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
9 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
10 And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.
11 It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
12 And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
13 And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD.
15 And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
16 And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
17 And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
18 And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
19 And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.
20 All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.
21 And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.
22 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion.
24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion.
25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion.
26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion.
27 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a portion.
28 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea.
29 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD.
30 And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.
31 And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.
32 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
33 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.
34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.
35 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.

Report: Kerry Offers Pollard's Release to Israel

Kerry has offered Israel the release of Pollard as part of discussions about an upcoming release of terrorists.

Jonathan Pollard-Yehuda Glick
United States Secretary of State John Kerry has offered Israel the release of Jonathan Pollard, Channel 10 News reported on Friday.According to the report, Kerry’s offer was made as part of the discussions surrounding the upcoming planned release of 26 terrorists from Israeli jails as a “gesture” to Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas.Kol Yisrael radio, which also reported about Kerry’s offer, said it relates to the fourth stage of the terrorist release and is conditional upon Israel agreeing to release Israeli Arabs who have committed acts of terrorism.Israeli officials were quoted by both outlets as having said that they believe the idea has not been cleared with President Barack Obama and as such were doubtful that the offer would actually be implemented.Pollard’s release has been tied in the past week with recent revelations by documents leaked by Edward Snowden that the United States conducted surveillance on Israeli leaders.
In recent days there have been calls by Israeli Knesset Members for the United States to free Pollard in the wake of these revelations, which said that American and British intelligence agencies tapped the communications of former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Defense Minister Ehud Barak, among other foreign leaders.Channel 2 reported this week that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will officially demand the release of Pollard from the U.S.The unconfirmed report said that Netanyahu will ask for Pollard's release in one of two frameworks: either for another exchange of more Arab terrorist prisoners, or as part of agreeing to the interim deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.Officials in the White House later said that Obama has no immediate plans to release Pollard and that he "stands behind what he said just before his visit to Israel.”Before his visit to Israel last March, Obama said in an interview with Channel 2 that Pollard “has been serving his time. There is a justice system that allows for periodic review and the way I as president function here is to try and make sure that I am following the basic rules of that review.”Obama said at the time he has "no plans for releasing Jonathan Pollard immediately but what I am going to be doing is to make sure that he is accorded the same kinds of review as others. I recognize the emotions involved in this. One of the strengths of the Israeli people is that you think about your people wherever they are.”MKs from across the political spectrum attended a special Knesset session Wednesday in a public call on Obama for the release of Pollard.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

ISAIAH 28:14-19 (THIS IS THE 7 YR TREATY COVENANT OF DANIEL 9:27)
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
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. 


Abbas Asks Americans to Stop Israeli Construction

The PA has appealed to the United States to block Israel's plan to build new homes in Judea and Samaria.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has appealed to the United States to block a new Israeli plan to build hundreds of additional homes in Judea and Samaria, the PA’s top negotiator said Friday, according to The Associated Press (AP).The comments by Saeb Erekat come in the wake of reports that Israel plans to publish tenders for the sale of 1,400 housing units in Judea and Samaria, parallel to next week’s release of 26 terrorist prisoners from Israeli jails.Erekat said that in a late-night meeting Thursday with U.S. envoy Martin Indyk, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas "asked for U.S. intervention to stop the Israeli government from issuing new settlement decisions in order to save the peace process and the American efforts.”NRG/Maariv on Thursday quoted diplomatic sources as saying 600-700 homes will be sold in Jerusalem, apparently in Ramat Shlomo, and the rest of the units marketed will be in Judea and Samaria, most likely inside the “settlement blocs.”The announcement will come despite requests by both the United States and the EU that Israel refrain from announcing new construction at the present time.Previous announcements on construction raised the ire of the PA, which demanded that Israel cancel any tenders it has issued for new construction or the talks would be over.The PA has repeatedly slammed Israel’s planned construction in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem, despite the fact that it was informed in advance that Israel will continue to build as talks continue. The areas in which Israel plans to build are areas that even the PA has previously accepted will be part of Israel in a future deal.On Wednesday night, when reports of the new planned construction were made public, PA officials accused Israel of “killing the peace process.”Erekat did not say how the PA would respond to the expected Israeli announcement. He said officials advised Abbas to resume the PA’s campaign of joining UN and other international organizations in the absence of a peace deal."This is the only response. There is no use with this Israeli government," he said, according to AP.Meanwhile, a senior European Union (EU) official issued a direct warning to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Thursday, saying that the EU would not tolerate new construction in Judea and Samaria."There will be very little understanding on the part of European governments regarding any announcement of construction in the territories now under negotiations. Israel should expect a strong reaction on the part of European governments if it is going to go in that direction,” said the official.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

As peace talks plow on, right tries to make a legislative stand

Knesset bills that seek to annex or strengthen Israel’s hold over portions of the West Bank are gaining support among lawmakers

December 27, 2013, 8:53 pm 1-The Times of Israel
To gauge from media leaks and the pace of US Secretary of State John Kerry’s visits to the region, the much-derided US-brokered peace talks with the Palestinians seem nevertheless to be advancing steadily.
That, at least, is the view of many of Israel’s right-leaning parliamentarians, both supporters and detractors of the talks, who are slowly but steadily beginning to believe the talks may bear fruit and are looking for ways to influence their outcome. The result has been a growing interest in legislation as a way to shore up — and even outright declare — what the lawmakers believe should be the outcome of talks. That includes legislating Israeli sovereignty over parts of the West Bank.On Tuesday this week, in the wake of a series of leaks about US proposals to enhance security measures in the Jordan Valley in order to allow Israel to withdraw from the area, MK Moti Yogev (Jewish Home) proposed a bill to apply Israeli civil law, and in effect annex, the strategically significant border region.Formally titled “The Bill to Apply Israeli Law to the Jordan Valley 5774-2013,” the measure would place the region under Israeli law rather than its current legal status as a captured territory administered by the IDF. The bill is nearly identical to the 1981 Golan Heights Bill, which applied Israeli civil law and effectively annexed the Syrian border region to Israel. While the international community refused to recognize Israel’s unilateral annexation of the Golan, under Israeli law it is treated as sovereign Israeli territory.

The Jordan Valley bill quickly won the support this week of some of the Knesset’s most influential figures, including Coalition Chairman Yariv Levin (Likud), Law Committee Chairman David Rotem (Yisrael Beytenu), former Knesset speaker Reuven Rivlin (Likud), Jewish Home faction chair Ayelet Shaked, former Shas chairman Eli Yishai, and at least 13 other lawmakers.To be sure, even proponents of the bill acknowledge it stands little chance of passing into law. Since it impinges on issues being discussed in peace talks, and could thus limit the maneuvering room of Israeli negotiators, it will face decisive opposition from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Justice Minister and chief negotiator Tzipi Livni and other top officials and power brokers.But the bill is only the latest in a series of bills that seek to extend Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank. The bills are all piecemeal measures, either extending all Israeli civil law over a small part of the West Bank, or a small measure of Israeli law over the entire territory.

Earlier this year, MK Orit Strock (Jewish Home) proposed a bill that would extend the Women’s Labor Law, which grants Israeli women certain labor protections such as maternity leave, to the West Bank. Strock noted that women who take maternity leave in West Bank settlements can be fired for doing so because the territory does not fall under Israeli civil laws that prevent such abuses.Indeed, Strock’s bill would have granted these protections to Palestinian women employed by Israelis in the West Bank, as well. It was a measure to protect women, she argued, and the bill’s supporters were not limited to the right.But the bill was ultimately felled by Netanyahu, who on September 1 announced a cabinet decision that a solution would be found to the inequality of labor rights in the West Bank. The prime minister made a point of not publicly opposing the legislative route, but nevertheless ordered the IDF Central Command, as the legal administrator of the territory, to issue a military order applying the provisions of the Women’s Labor Law to the West Bank — thus extending the law’s protections to settlers and their Palestinian employees without taking a step that could have been interpreted as an expansion of Israeli claims to sovereignty over the area.The government decision also promised to extend all other Israeli laws related to labor protections to the West Bank by January 1, 2014, a deadline “that will clearly not be met,” Strock told The Times of Israel on Friday.While government attorneys are unlikely to successfully apply all the relevant laws through military directives by the deadline set in the September 1 cabinet decision, the measures are expected to pass eventually – not as legislation, but as military directives.Though the protections themselves are being extended to the West Bank, Strock and others are dissatisfied. Chief among this group is Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, who is simultaneously the minister responsible for the implementation of labor laws and the political system’s chief advocate for the expansion of Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank.There are already plans underway for new bills that would seek to apply other civil laws to the West Bank, including one that would extend the Public Libraries Law empowering local governments to create public libraries, the Disabled Rights Law and other measures.Together with MK Levin, who co-chairs with Strock the Caucus for the Land of Israel, “we intend to propose more bills dealing directly with applying Israeli sovereignty [to the West Bank],” she said Friday.Some of them are explicit. The explanatory preface to this week’s Jordan Valley bill notes bluntly: “The future of the Jordan Valley begins in the Israeli consciousness. Israel must decide to apply its sovereignty to this broad region, which has a relatively small Palestinian population, and to say openly: ‘The Jordan Valley will remain under Israeli sovereignty forever.’”But others are more circumspect.The bills dealing with labor rights and other civil matters “are about individual rights, not national or diplomatic questions,” Strock insisted.Indeed, she noted, some Israeli laws were extended to the West Bank years ago. The West Bank’s Israeli population “pays taxes by force of legislation [as opposed to a military directive]. We are drafted into the IDF by legislation, not a military directive. We must obey traffic laws by legislation. So there is nothing new here.”In the end, Strock said, the new bills are about recognizing the reality on the ground. “All we’re trying to say is that [the West Bank’s Jews] have lived here for 45 years. Our young people who are getting drafted this year — not only were they born in Judea and Samaria, so were their parents.”

Ice storm aftermath: warm weather brings more outages

28,000 Ontario customers without power, 12,000 in N.B.

Tens of thousands still in the dark in Ontario

About 40,000 customers in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick remain in the dark one week after a major ice storm blanketed Central and Atlantic Canada, and warming temperatures have caused new power outages in Toronto.
Toronto Hydro CEO Anthony Haines said early Saturday that melting ice falling from trees and other structures has lead to fresh damage. At about 1 a.m. ET the number of customers without power had dropped below 20,000 for the first time, but by 8 a.m. it was back up to around 23,000."Over the morning hours we’ve been moving backwards, but I’m sure our crews will attend to those and we’ll start moving in the right direction again over the next couple of hours," he told CBC News Network.Roughly 28,000 customers in Ontario are still waiting for the lights and heat to be restored, seven days after the power went out. Haines couldn't provide a guess for when the power would be restored to everybody. He said computer simulations have shown three days, but that there are variables at work like the new outages and the arrival of more crews.“I’m hopeful certainly by the early part of next week the vast majority of customers will be back," he said.Haines, who noted that the average Toronto Hydro customer is equivalent to 2½ people, said his heart goes out to those without power but that crews are working as fast as they can.“I understand the difficulties that not having electricity brings, but what we can do is work around the clock and we can bring extra resources in from far and wide, which is what we’ve done, and we will not stop until the power is on for everybody," he said. "What we can do is what we can do, I suppose.”
Haines stressed the enormous scope of the damage:
  • Forty per cent of the city's power lines, which would cross Canada twice, have been affected by the storm.
  • Thirty-thousand pieces of equipment have been installed back into the grid and about 47,000 metres of cable have gone back up into the air.
  • The City of Toronto says about 20 per cent of the city's tree canopy has been damaged and it could take seven weeks to clean up all the fallen limbs, Haines said. 

12,000 without power in N.B.

About 12,000 customers in New Brunswick are in a similar situation. In Quebec, officials tweeted late Friday night that they were "almost there" with only about 400 customers left who needed power restored.

Amid the rising anger and frustration of those still in the dark, utility companies are pleading for patience, saying crews are working around the clock and nothing else can be done to speed up the process.That's little consolation for people who have been in the dark for a week, including Carmen Andronesu, who is one of more than 1,000 residents who live in a condo complex in Toronto's north end."No matter how much you try calling here and there, it’s like you cannot find help from anywhere," she said.In the rural southern New Brunswick community of Titusville, people without power have been heading to the generator-powered general store to buy kerosene, propane, candles and water. Owner Mark Carline said the storm and outage has caused him to reflect."I think we were all reminded and humbled by the fact that at any given time we could be set back to this state, where we’re scrambling [to get] the basic necessities."With files from The Canadian Press

He blamed the attack on palometas, "a type of piranha, big, voracious and with sharp teeth that can really bite."Paramedic Alberto Manino said some children he treated lost entire digits. He told the Todo Noticias news channel that city beaches were closed following the incident, but it was so hot that within a half-hour, many people went back to the water.The fish inhabit the waters of South America's Parana and Paraguay Rivers.

Target confirms encrypted PIN data stolen


SHARECOMMENTMORE
Hackers who stole data for millions of credit cards and debit cards used in Target stores removed encrypted data containing personal identification numbers — but the theft isn't expected to compromise cardholder accounts — the company said Friday."We remain confident that PIN numbers are safe and secure," said a statement issued Friday by Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder.According to the company, Target does not have access to or store the encryption key within the company's computer systems. The data can only be decrypted when it is received by the company's external payment processor, Target said."What this means is that the 'key' necessary to decrypt that data has never existed within Target's system and could not have been taken during this incident," the company said, adding "the most important thing for our guests to know is that their debit card accounts have not been compromised due to the encrypted PIN numbers being taken."
However, class action lawsuits filed against the company in the wake of the massive November-December data breach have alleged that thieves might use the PIN numbers to withdraw money from cardholders' bank accounts.Similarly, a Reuters report earlier this week said an executive of at least one major bank voiced fear that the thieves would be able to crack the encrypted PIN numbers and victimize cardholders by making fraudulent withdrawals.Contributing: Mike Snider

Francis: “Violence and discrimination against Christians must end”

Pope Francis during the Angelus
Pope Francis during the Angelus

The Pope dedicated today's Angelus to the persecuted Christians across the world and to St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr

giacomo galeazzi vatican city “In martyrdom, violence is overcome by love. The sugary image many have of Christmas is false.”   After the bloody attack on the Church of the Nativity in Iraq on Christmas Day, Francis dedicated the Angelus on the Feast of St. Stephen to the Church that is suffering persecution and denied religious freedom. But violence against the followers of Jesus has many different sides to it and today the Pope also pointed the finger at those who discriminate against Christians in the West, in an attempt to blot out the public dimension of the faith.

 The Pope used strong words in his concerned appeal for Christians, denouncing both the incessant martyrdom being witnessed across the globe and the Christianophobic secularisation that aims to erode religious life and the practice of the Catholic faith by confining worship to the private sphere.

“In the liturgical year, the solemnity of Christmas is spread over eight days: this is a time of joy for all of God’s people,” the Pope said addressing the droves of pilgrims who gathered in St. Peter’s Square despite the rain and cold. On this, the second day of the Octave, we celebrate the Feast of St. Stephen the first Christian martyr, surrounded by the joy of Christmas.” The Book of the Acts of the Apostles presents St. Stephen as “a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit,” chosen along with six other men to serve widows and the poor in the first Christian community in Jerusalem. Today Francis recalled St. Stephen’s martyrdom and how he was dragged outside the city walls and stoned after a controversial speech which unleashed the anger of the members of the Sanhedrin.

 “Stephen died as Jesus did, asking his killers for forgiveness,” Francis stressed. He added: “Recalling this martyrdom may seem out of place in the context of the joyous spirit of Christmas. Indeed, Christmas is the celebration of life and instils in us feelings of calm and peace; why upset the magic with memories of such atrocious violence? In actual fact, from a faith perspective, the Feast of St. Stephen is fully in tune with the profound meaning of Christmas. In martyrdom, violence is overcome by love, life defeats death.” The Church “sees in the sacrifice of martyrs their birth in heaven.” Francis therefore urged faithful from all across the world to celebrate Stephen’s “birth” which “is a result of Christ’s birth,” as “Jesus transforms the death of those who love him into the dawn of a new life.”
 
Francis linked St. Stephen’s martyrdom to Jesus’ death on the Cross: St. Stephen’s death embodies “the same contrast between good and evil, hatred and forgiveness, kindness and violence, which Christ embodied fully with his death on the Cross.” By commemorating this martyr, we cast away any “false perception” we may have of Christmas,” that is, “the fairy tallish and sugary image [of Christmas] which does not exist in the Gospel.”
 
The liturgy “restores the real meaning of the incarnation, connecting Bethlehem to Calvary and reminding us that divine salvation means fighting sin and passing through the narrow door of the Cross.” This is “the path Jesus clearly pointed out for his disciples, as today’s Gospel reading says.”  “And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” The Pope invited faithful to pray especially for “Christians who are discriminated against for being witnesses of Christ and the Gospel.” “We are close to those brothers and sisters who, like St. Stephen, are unjustly accused and subjected to violence of various kinds,” the Pope said. This is particularly prominent in places “where religious freedom is not yet guaranteed or has not yet fully come into being.” But violence against Christians is also witnessed “in countries and environments where human rights are protected on paper but where faithful, especially Christians, experience restrictions and discrimination.” Christians “are not surprised by this because Jesus had already said this would happen, presenting it as a chance to bear testimony to the faith.” But “injustice in the civil [sphere] must be denounced and eliminated.” So Francis prayed to Mary Queen of Martyrs to help faithful to experience this Christmas with that ardent faith and love that shines through in St. Stephen and all the Church’s martyrs.

After the Angelus the Pope greeted families, parish groups, associations and individual faithful from Rome, other parts of Italy and all across the world. “May your visit to the Nativity Scene to see Mary and Joseph with the Baby Jesus inspire a generous commitment to reciprocal love, fostering a sense of intense fraternity within families and communities, which is so beneficial to everyone,” Francis said.

Fr. Lombardi: “For the Pope reform is above all about the Gospel not about new structures”

The director of the Holy See Press Office talks to Vatican Radio about Francis’s work and actions

vatican insider staff Rome There is a “strong link” between Francis being a Jesuit, a son of St. Ignatius of Loyola’s spiritual teaching, and his leadership of the Catholic Church. Fr. Federico Lombardi said this in a wide-ranging interview with Vatican Radio, stressing the fact that the Latin American Pope “has set the Church in motion”.
The aim of the Church is to announce Jesus’ Gospel
 “Pope Francis really has set the Church on its way, with great strength and he has set it on its way with his example, his effort and with various messages and initiatives – think of the new Synod on the family; think of how he has encouraged the renewal of the Church and of our lives,” Lombardi said.I believe that what distinguishes Pope Francis’ spirituality and leadership in a special way is the fact that we are constantly in motion, trying to find the new things which God asks of us in our daily lives.  We are now part of a Church in motion. We are not presented with any specific goals or any specific picture of how tomorrow’s Church will need to be organised to achieve this goal.”“The purpose or value of the all-important structural changes, the reforms that everyone is talking about, is primarily to ensure that the Church’s structures, instruments and organisations are indeed serving the spirit and announcement of the Gospel. This is what Pope Francis means by reform: making sure that instruments and structures better serve the mission of the Church.”In the interview with Vatican Radio, Fr. Lombardi recalled that the Church’s mission is “to proclaim the Gospel to the furthermost corners of the Earth, to the peripheries he so often talks about, so that it reaches the poor and those who are most in need of the Lord’s love and closeness and the testimony of God.” Fr. Lombardi said he hoped “the Council of eight cardinals and other advisory bodies can achieve this goal. But one thing should be made very clear in my opinion, and that this is of secondary importance and is important insofar as it facilitates the proclamation of the Gospel and the Church’s mission, the Church that is in motion. This is the absolute priority.”The Pope has set up a number of advisory commissions to make the testimony of the various structures within the Church more transparent and efficient. This also goes for the Vatican’s administrative structures.

Ratzinger’s resignation
Ratzinger’s decision to step down from the pontificate “is a choice which left its mark on the Church this year and will continue to mark the Church in the decades to come,” Fr. Lombardi said. Benedict XVI’s resignation “will affect the pontificates to come.” The move “has opened up a path, a possibility let’s say, which in terms of the reason for the resignation, is to do with the times we are living in, as Bergoglio rightly said.” It is not so much down to a personal choice but taking stock of the accumulation of problems that come with changing times.”The Pope took stock of this showing great lucidity and humility, giving the Church the chance to be led with renewed vigour. And this is precisely what has happened and it has happened in an astounding and unexpected way.”

Iran develops new generation of uranium centrifuges

MPs push for bill to legislate enrichment of fissile material to 60% purity — 12 times the limit agreed to last month

December 27, 2013, 1:54 am 11-The Times of Israel
The head of Iran’s atomic energy organization on Thursday said that the Islamic Republic has designed a new generation of uranium centrifuges, and that they are ready to be manufactured after testing.Ali Akbar Salehi, the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization’s chief, gave no indication to Iranian media when production of the new centrifuges would take place, nor were specific details about their capacity mentioned.According to Salehi, Iran currently possesses 19,000 centrifuges, 1,000 more than his predecessor said the country had in August.Iran’s Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Salehi saying that Iran is proud to be among the few countries “that are capable of conducting the full fuel cycle of the nuclear fuel production from discovery to mining and from there to turning uranium to nuclear fuel.”Earlier in December, an AEO spokesperson said Iran provided the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) information about the new line of centrifuges, which PressTV quoted him saying “has a higher capacity” than previous generations of equipment used in the country’s nuclear program.Thursday’s announcement came following a push by a significant number of Iranian lawmakers to legislate the enrichment of uranium to 60 percent purity — 12 times the cap Iran agreed by Iran as part of a deal reached with the US and world powers in November.At 60% pure uranium 235, Iran could quite quickly convert its stockpiles of enriched fissile material to weapons-grade uranium, a major concern of Israel and the United States. Iran contends, however, that its nuclear weapons program is exclusively for peaceful purposes.According to the semi-official Fars News Agency, 100 of the 290 members of Iran’s parliament signed a draft law calling on President Hasan Rouhani to approve enrichment of uranium to 60%, saying it was necessary for fueling nuclear submarines and “other facilities in case the western anti-Iran sanctions are intensified.”The report noted the several such bills have been proffered by Iranian lawmakers without success in recent years.

Member states want EU embassy in Iran, MEP says

Today @ 12:04DEC 27,13-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS - EU countries have informally told the European Parliament they want the Union's foreign service to open an embassy in Iran.Tarja Cronberg, a Finnish Green MEP who chairs the parliament's Iran delegation, said member states' ambassadors in Tehran backed the idea when she met them in the Iranian capital on an official trip earlier this month."We held a meeting with all the [EU] ambassadors and they really stressed the importance of more open exchange … They said the best tool for this would be an EU embassy or maybe the creation of an EU special representative [for Iran] as a first step," she told EUobserver.
She noted that: "The Iranians are also open to the idea … We mentioned it to the foreign minister and the Iranian President's chief of staff and they were generally positive."She added that Iranian officials told her "the EU plays a positive role in the world, but it is not visible enough in the Middle East."Twenty four EU states have embassies or consulates in the Islamic republic.The new climate in relations comes after UN Security Council veto powers and Iran agreed an interim deal on its nuclear programme in Geneva in November.Italy's foreign minister Emma Bonino also went to Iran this month. She said in a statement that: "Italy intends to open a new season of dialogue with Iran, and to bring other European countries along."
A Polish official told this website on Thursday (27 December) that Polish foreign minister Radek Sikorski is likely to go to Tehran in January or February.The EU already has embassies in other pariah states, such as Belarus.But Iran and the EU remain wary of each other despite the Geneva breakthrough.Iran has also invited Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt to visit. But a Swedish spokesman said on Thursday "there is no decision" if he will go.Polish and Swedish officials added that there is no official EU position on the embassy idea, no matter what their envoys told Cronberg in Tehran.The EU foreign service could not be contacted for a comment.But Cronberg noted that her contacts in the service are "not very positive" about a new embassy, in part due to the financial cost of opening another mission.Meanwhile, Iran also told Cronberg it is happy to host the EU's special representative on human rights, Stavros Lambrinidis, with a view to launching a new EU-Iran "human rights dialogue."Iran hangs hundreds of people a year, mostly for drug-related offences.
Cronberg told this website that Iranian MPs and officials "are seriously thinking about diminishing the number of executions for drug crimes."But they are less open to change in other areas.Iran has also jailed dozens of journalists and human rights defenders. It has the death penalty for "sodomy" and it flogs people who drink wine.The Finnish MEP said the Iranian parliament contains plenty of hardliners who mistrust the West. She added that the regime disagrees with the EU on what the Union calls "universal" values, because some EU values contradict its Islamic code.Cronberg has in the past attracted criticism for her Iran-friendly politics.
The AJC, a Jewish lobby group in Brussels, has said the EU parliament visit to Iran is a PR gift for the regime.But Cronberg noted that Iranian dissidents, such as human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh, who was recently freed from prison, also want more EU-Iran contacts."She [Sotoudeh] told me she is very happy that we are here, that she feels energised by our visit … but she urged us to ask tough questions," the MEP told this website.She added that ordinary Iranian people have "high expectations" that the Geneva process will end their country's international isolation."People were very happy that our delegation came. They greeted us in the street and welcomed us," she said, recalling her walkabout in Tehran.

Arafat died of natural causes, Russian experts say

State forensics agency tested samples from Palestinian leader’s body, finds polonium didn’t kill him

December 26, 2013, 12:32 pm 20
Former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat died of natural causes and was not poisoned by polonium, a Russian forensic institute said on Wednesday.The conclusion was in line with findings by French experts who earlier this month ruled out the possibility that Arafat died of poisoning, as some had suspected, but in conflict with Swiss scientists’ claims.“Yasser Arafat died not from the effects of radiation but of natural causes,” Vladimir Uiba, head of the Federal Medico-Biological Agency (FMBA), said according to the Russian Interfax news service.Arafat died November 11, 2004, at a French military hospital, a month after falling ill at his West Bank headquarters. At the time, French doctors said he died of a stroke and had a blood-clotting problem, but records were inconclusive about what caused that condition.Palestinian Ambassador to Russia, Fayed Mustafa, was quoted by state RIA Novosti news agency as saying Thursday that the Palestinian authorities respect the Russian experts’ conclusions but consider it necessary to continue research into Arafat’s death.
Uiba said, however, that his agency hasn’t received any Palestinian request for additional studies.One of the most famous and recent cases of polonium-210 poisoning was that of ex-KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko who died in 2006 after drinking tea laced with the radioactive isotope.Britain has accused two Russians of the 2006 killing, but Moscow has refused to extradite them.In 2012, news station Al-Jazeera reported a forensic analysis of Arafat’s underwear, headscarves and other belongings by Switzerland’s Institute for Radiation Physics found trace amounts of the radioactive element polonium, leading to accusations that Israel poisoned the Palestinian leader.Earlier this year, Arafat’s grave in his Ramallah compound was reopened. Swiss, Russian and French scientists were given samples of the remains and burial soil, but test results showed no indication of poisoning.Swiss scientists said last month they found at least 18 times the normal level of radioactive polonium in Arafat’s bones, findings which they said “moderately” supported the theory that he was poisoned.But French scientists who had been looking into Arafat’s death concluded he died of a “generalized infection.”The Palestinians launched an investigation at the time of Arafat’s death, reportedly encompassing hundreds of statements from Palestinians and non-Palestinians in the West Bank and around the world. No suspects emerged and no arrests were made.An Israeli expert on radiation quoted by Ynet said the Swiss report of finding polonium was “completely fabricated.” Dr. Ehud Ne’eman said there would be no traces of Polonium 210 if the poison was injected before 2004.Polonium can be a byproduct of the chemical processing of uranium, but usually it’s made artificially in a nuclear reactor or a particle accelerator. Dozens of countries including Russia, Israel and the US have the nuclear capability to produce polonium.
In November 2012, a leading French doctor who teaches at the Paris hospital where Arafat died told The Times of Israel, based on Arafat’s medical report, that there was “absolutely no way” the Palestinian leader was poisoned.Arafat’s medical records concluded he died in November 2004 from a stroke “that resulted from a bleeding disorder caused by an unidentified infection,” The New York Times reported in 2005. The paper wrote at the time that the first independent review “suggests that poisoning was highly unlikely.”

Toronto ice storm: Thousands begin Day 6 without power

32,000 Toronto Hydro customers still without electricity

Outage outrage

With thousands of Toronto residents now in their sixth day without heat and electricity in freezing temperatures, some say they're reaching the breaking point. Despite this, many will likely not have power restored for at least a few more days.CBC's Travis Dhanraj spoke to people Thursday who've been without heat and power since Sunday's devastating ice storm hit.The storm knocked out power to more than 250,000 customers. As of Friday morning, Toronto Hydro reported that 32,400 customers are still without power while crews work around the clock to repair damaged lines.

Among the thousands still without power is George Sabourin and his wife Carole Anne Marie. They have no heat or power in their Victoria Park apartment. Worse, the water was shut off to prevent pipes from freezing.
"All my food is spoiled. I have to throw everything out in the fridge," Carole Anne Marie said. The city has set up warming centres across the city, but the Sabourins say they won't go because they're worried about their pets. (The city has confirmed with CBC News that pets are welcome at city warming centres: Dogs must be leashed and cats must be in a crate).And while residents become increasingly frustrated, Toronto Hydro says they're working around the clock to restore power.

Full restoration likely days away

Spokesperson Tanya Bruckmueller said that while large blocks of power have been restored, crews are now into the slower work of reconnecting individual buildings. She said it may still be a few days before all customers have power.Scarborough remains the hardest hit area of the city, with pockets of outages remaining in North York, Don Mills and the West end. In some cases, Toronto Hydro workers have been slowed by fallen trees and branches that litter many streets.Bruckmueller also asked residents not "engage" work crews with questions."We want to make sure our crews can concentrate on the work that they're doing," she said Friday in an interview on CBC News Network. "They don't have any more information than what's out there. The faster they get the work done, the faster everybody gets power back."Bruckmueller also said some residents may see their power restored, then shut off again. In many cases this is a good sign, and a possible indication that crews are working in their area.Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is expected to provide an update on the storm situation at 11 a.m. Friday.
