Hassidic Millionaire Abducted in Brooklyn, Reportedly Found Dead

A badly burned body found on a Great Neck dumpster outside a gas station is reported to be that of Menachem Stark.-By Arutz Sheva staff-First Publish: 1/4/2014, 7:06 PM-Israelnationalnews

A badly burned body found on a Great Neck dumpster outside a gas station is the millionaire Hassidic real estate developer who was kidnapped in Williamsburg Thursday, law enforcement sources confirmed to The New York Post.The NYPD released video Saturday morning that appears to show suspects forcing Stark into a light-colored Dodge Caravan after he had left the real estate offices of Southside Associates on Rutledge Street near Broadway. Investigators believe he was duct-taped before he was thrown into the van, which sped off.A gas station employee in Great Neck had discovered the body around 4 p.m., Friday, and alerted Nassau County Police.Earlier, Stark's relatives offered to pay a $100,000 reward for his safe return, no questions asked, after he was kidnapped outside his Brooklyn office Thursday night.DNAinfo New York reported that Stark left his office at 331 Rutledge Street at 11:20 p.m. Thursday and was walking to his home a few blocks away when two men grabbed him, and drove him away in a white or light-colored minivan, according to a flyer put out by Shomrim, a neighborhood watch group for the Orthodox community. Security video shows Stark being pulled into the van.Stark's wife, Bashie, became worried when he did not come home before midnight and notified the neighborhood patrol, the NYPD said. Shomrim alerted police at 2:30 a.m. on Friday.NYPD investigators canvassed Rutledge Street on Friday morning, pulling security footage from multiple security cameras and speaking to local business owners. The search continued into the Sabbath, and Jewish volunteers took part in it with rabbinical permission, reported the Jewish Daily Forward. The embedded video shows the van in which he was abducted driving down Broadway.“We have to move quickly,” Yoely Stark, Menachem Stark’s brother told Voz Is Neias on Friday. “Shabbos is coming and time is very important.” The brother invoked the memory of Leiby Kletzky, the Brooklyn boy who was snatched off the street and murdered in 2011.“Remember Leiby Kletzky? They only got him through the security cameras and we need people to come forward now to help,” Yoely Stark told the web site. “The fastest way possible to get information is through the cameras which give the most accurate information.”
Police sources told the Daily News that Stark was carrying $4,000 in cash at the time of the alleged kidnapping.Stark was reportedly sued in 2011 over a $29 million loan that financed a 74-unit residential rental building at 100 South 4th Street in south Williamsburg, the Real Deal reported. Yitzy Stark acknowledged that his brother was involved in several large real estate deals, but said the family knows of no bad blood that could have sparked the kidnapping.Stark is a member of the Satmar hassidic community.

The condition of former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon, described Friday as in a "slow, gradual" decline after eight years in a coma, was unchanged Saturday, according to public radio.  "At this time we cannot report any change in the condition of former prime minister Ariel Sharon," the station reported from Tel Hashomer hospital near Tel Aviv.Sharon is reportedly nearing death, with the 85-year-old's health worsening Wednesday as he suffered serious kidney problems after surgery."Tests show a slow, gradual deterioration in the functioning of his vital organs... His state has not changed. He's still in critical condition, and his life is in danger," Tel Hashomer hospital director Zeev Rotstein was quoted by public radio as saying Friday in the last official bulletin on his condition before Shabbat. "I don't think the situation will improve with time, and we know what usually happens in cases like this," he added, suggesting that Sharon might die soon.
Rotstein said there were traces of infection in Sharon's blood, and that it had not been possible for him to undergo renal dialysis since his other organs were in such a fragile state.  Sharon has remained in a vegetative state since suffering a massive stroke in 2006. Since then his condition was relatively stable, but in recent weeks deteriorated significantly after he suffered a renal failure.

Former prime minister Ariel Sharon remained in critical condition and was gradually deteriorating Saturday, a day after Sheba Medical Center director Zeev Rotstein said he was suffering from continuous organ failure that may lead to critical damage to many bodily systems.Hospital sources said his condition continued to gradually worsen. His family, including grandchildren, and several close friends, visited in the course of Saturday.“He is fighting like a true warrior, as he has all his life,” Rotstein said of the former general during a press conference at the hospital Friday. “But as time passes, the situation will not get better and we understand what happens in situations like these.”On Wednesday, hospital personnel had put out a laconic statement saying the comatose former leader’s condition had taken a turn for the worse.His family has been at his bedside for the past several days, and his condition has been defined as critical, with indications that he has at most a few days to live.Doctors said Sharon, 85, who has been in a vegetative state since 2006, was suffering from renal failure that could lead to multiple organ system failure and death. On Thursday morning, Rotstein confirmed that Sharon, who has been hospitalized at Sheba for seven years, was suffering from failure of multiple “organs that are vital to life.”The hospital director said that while Sharon’s condition had “seen ups and downs” in the past two-and-a-half months, his life was now in danger.“The danger [to Sharon's life] exists, [but] as we know, Arik [Sharon] is a powerful man and has survived difficult situations during his time in our hospital,” he continued. ”I’m no prophet, but the feeling among the doctors treating him and the family by his side… is that he has taken a turn for the worse.”Rotstein added that Sharon wasn’t receiving dialysis treatment, as it was not recommended for a patient with multiple organ failure. He said the ex-prime minister had received antibiotic treatment in recent weeks for infections that caused his condition to deteriorate.“He is receiving all the treatments that a patient in his condition should receive,” he said.In September, doctors reinstalled a feeding tube in Sharon’s digestive system. The procedure was completed without incident, and the former prime minister was returned to the hospital’s Department of Respiratory Care and Rehabilitation, where he has been in treatment in recent years.

Sharon is one of Israel’s most iconic and controversial figures. As one of Israel’s most famous generals, Sharon was known for bold tactics and an occasional refusal to obey orders. As a politician he became known as “The Bulldozer,” a man contemptuous of his critics while also capable of getting things done.
As defense minister, he led Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and was forced to resign the post after a commission of inquiry found him responsible for failing to prevent the massacre by Christian Phalangists of Palestinian refugees in Beirut’s Sabra and Shatila camps.A prominent hard-line voice over the decades, he was elected prime minister in 2001.In mid-2005, he directed a unilateral withdrawal of Israeli troops and settlers from the Gaza Strip, ending a 38-year military control of the territory. It was a shocking turnaround for a man who had been a leading player in building Jewish settlements in captured territories.He bolted the Likud party soon after and established the centrist Kadima party, where he was joined by Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni. He appeared on his way to an easy reelection when he suffered a severe stroke in January 2006. His deputy, Olmert, took over and was elected prime minister a few months later.Sharon had a first, small stroke in December 2005 and was put on blood thinners before experiencing a severe brain hemorrhage on January 4, 2006. After spending months in the Jerusalem hospital where he was initially treated, Sharon was transferred to the long-term care facility at Tel Hashomer Hospital. He was taken home briefly at one point, but was returned to the hospital, where he has been since.Ilan Ben Zion, Yifa Yaakov and AP contributed to this report.


Ariel Sharon’s life in grave danger, family at bedside

Hospital director confirms former PM experiencing malfunction of ‘multiple’ vital organs as his condition deteriorates

January 2, 2014, 12:01 pm 21-The Times of Israel
Former prime minister Ariel Sharon is suffering from vital organ failure after his condition deteriorated significantly in recent weeks, Sheba Medical Center director Zeev Rotstein said on Thursday. It was a first statement to the press by hospital personnel since a spokesman put out a laconic statement Wednesday saying the comatose leader’s condition had taken a turn for the worse.His family was at his bedside on Thursday afternoon, and his condition was defined as “critical.”On Wednesday, doctors said Sharon, 85, who has been in a vegetative state since 2006, was suffering from renal failure that could lead to multiple organ system failure and death. On Thursday morning, Rotstein confirmed that Sharon, who has been hospitalized at Sheba for seven years, was suffering from failure of multiple “organs that are vital to life.”
The hospital director said that while Sharon’s condition had “seen ups and downs” in the past two and a half months, his life was now in danger after the function of several of his vital organs gradually declined.“We define his condition as critical. His life is definitely in danger,” Rotstein said. “This is his condition as of today.” He added that the comatose leader’s condition has been deteriorating for “a very long time.”“The danger [to Sharon's life] exists, [but] as we know, Arik [Sharon] is a powerful man and has survived difficult situations during his time in our hospital,” he said. ”I’m no prophet, but the feeling among the doctors treating him and the family by his side… is that he has taken a turn for the worse.”Rotstein added that Sharon wasn’t receiving dialysis treatment, as it was not recommended for a patient with multiple organ failure. He said the ex-prime minister had received antibiotic treatment in recent weeks for infections that caused his condition to deteriorate.“He is receiving all the treatments that a patient in his condition should receive,” he said.In September, doctors reinstalled a feeding tube in Sharon’s digestive system.

Rabbi Kaduri´s Most Recent Words-JAN 24-2006

(IsraelNN.com) Famed Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri, who has been in serious condition in the hospital for 1.5 weeks, revived and spoke with his close associates for an hour and forty minutes after the end of the Sabbath, this past Saturday night. One of those people, Arutz-7 Hebrew radio showhost Yehoshua Meiri, related to Arutz-7 the rabbi’s words. The rabbi spoke in Hebrew; what follows is an approximate translation:

“The Kabbalists will investigate my words over the recent months about the Redemption and Moshiach [The Annointed Leader of the Jews during that period] and will reveal the secret name of Moshiach which was revealed to me on Cheshvan 9, 5764 (November 4, 2003).” The rabbi said he actually met the person who will be Moshiach, on that date.

The rabbi said of the Moshiach, “He won’t come and say ‘I am the Moshiach. Give over the rule to me.’ Rather the Kabbalists would discover the secret name [of Moshiach] among my ‘hidden’ [Kabbalistic] words and the nation will push him to lead it.”

Meiri also described a “ceremony” that took place during the brief period the rabbi was awake and alert. With only four people in the room, the rabbi “whispered Tzofanim Kabbalisti’im [Kabalistic esoteric codes] to one of the four persons present, whose name we are not revealing.”

Disaster, Redemption and the Tsunami

At least one Kabbalist sage predicted "natural calamities" over two weeks ago. He and others call for an increase in acts of kindness, as they try to place the events in universal context.
12/30/2004, 2:46 PM / Last Update: 12/30/2004, 4:00 PM-Israelnationalnews

The venerated Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri, considered Israel's leading Kabbalist rabbi, was quoted in the Yediot Acharonot newspaper on Dec. 12 as saying:

"We are now in the fourth year of what could be the seven-year Redemption period, according to the calculation of the Vilna Gaon. [However.] in the coming three years, uncertainty about the future will hang over our heads, unless we work and strive that the Messiah be revealed. The Messiah is already [here] in Israel. Whatever people are sure will not happen, is liable to happen, and whatever we are certain will happen may disappoint us. But in the end, there will be peace throughout the world. The world is mitmatek mehadinim (lit., becoming sweet from/of strict justice), great tragedies in the world are foreseen, that's the thing of the Jews going to the East. [emphasis added] But our enemies will not prevail over us in the Land of Israel, 'fear and trembling will fall upon them,' in the [merit of the] power of Torah."

Rabbi Kaduri said this week, "What can save the world from calamities is real repentance by Jews, who must increase acts of kindness towards one another... The cry of the many poor in Israel and the expulsion of Jews from their homes shakes the world... It's not for naught that this place was hit, where many of our compatriots went to look for this-worldly lusts."

Rabbi Kaduri has told his students that the current government will be the last one of the "old era," and that the new government will already have leadership of the Messianic era.

Another sage, Rabbi Chaim Kanevsky of Bnei Brak, was quoted in Yediot in the same article as saying that we are verily in the period of the beginning of the Redemption period, and that the Messiah could be revealed at any moment. He called for further outreach "in order to prevent calamities and to bring mercy from the Creator. All Jews must come to the Land of Israel." The Rabbi also called to establish Torah schools in every area, and that "Torah study will prevent calamities – from earthquakes to other natural disasters."

The Kipa website, a Hebrew-language forum for religious youth, features a response by Rabbi Uziel Eliyahu, Chief Rabbi of the Misgav Regional Council in the Galilee regarding a Jewish approach to the calamitous events. "First of all," Rabbi Eliyahu wrote, "we should pray and ask G-d to remove His wrath from the word, send a complete recovery to the injured, and help and protect everyone in the world, causing sorrow to depart."

Rabbi Eliyahu added that what is happening now was decreed on Rosh HaShanah [the Jewish New Year]: "It was a Divine decree that was issued regarding 'who will be killed by water, and who by fire...'" Our job now, he wrote, is to "pray to G-d, to try harder in studying Torah and fulfilling the Torah and doing acts of kindness and charity. This is an hour of reckoning for the entire world!!!"

Rabbi Eliyahu emphasized that G-d has complete control of nature, and that the Jewish People live "amidst great faith, despite questions that remain open. No question mark can break our strength of great and perfect faith in G-d... This does not prevent us from asking and searching for answers and [logical] explanations, but it all takes place on the solid ground of great faith in G-d... The Bible (Zechariah 14) mentions that in the future, when the Messiah comes, the Mt. of Olives will be split in two... The Messiah can come at any minute, even as you read these lines..."

Palestinian red lines make chances of US-mediated settlement slim

With Abbas saying he can’t accept Israel as a Jewish state ‘as a Palestinian, as a people, as the PLO,’ Erekat eyes ICC lawsuit as path to statehood

January 4, 2014, 11:25 am 26-The Times of Israel
US Secretary of State John Kerry met on Friday with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah for a talk that lasted several hours. On Saturday, Kerry was heading back for another round of talks with Abbas and his negotiating team, including chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat.On Friday, the London-based A-Sharq Al-Awsat paper published an interview with Erekat that made waves due to Erekat’s claim that Israel murdered Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and could do the same to Abbas. ”This is the conduct of the Israelis,” said Erekat. “Before they killed [Yasser] Arafat by poisoning there were also voices from the [Ariel] Sharon government saying that Arafat is an obstacle and that he must be gotten rid of.” Independent French, and later Russian forensic experts have ruled out the possibility that the late Palestinian leader was poisoned.The other comments made by Erekat in his interview — the ones about the ongoing negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians — were downplayed. But they are actually very important: Erekat’s statements demonstrate just how wide the gulf between the two sides is, and suggest that Washington’s chances of reaching a framework agreement are slim, perhaps even very slim.First of all, Erekat stressed in the interview that the Palestinians will not agree to have talks extended beyond the allotted nine months, set to end in April. ”Even a one-minute extension is impossible,” he was quoted as saying.
“Unlike what others say, the negotiations will be nine months long. The objective is to reach an agreement on all issues pertaining to a final-status deal. And according to the wording of the agreement with Kerry, there will be no transitional or interim agreements,” Erekat said.

Kerry made his way back to the region Thursday for another series of talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. This time, he was expected to present both sides with a framework deal touching on all core issues. But with April approaching fast and time running out, Erekat’s words reflect a growing impatience within the Palestinian Authority with what they see as Israeli attempts to prolong negotiations.“The US administration understands that the talks can’t go on for nine months, and so it is trying to cut them short in order to safeguard the peace process and preempt the extension of negotiations,” Erekat said.He added, however, that Israel was trying to thwart the peace process — and US efforts — in “every way,” with the latest example being an Israeli bill to annex the Jordan Valley, which passed a key ministerial committee last week.
Claiming that the last face-to-face talks with Israel’s negotiating team took place way back on November 5, Erekat presented a list of Israeli moves and “crimes” that he said undermined the peace process and led him to resign from the position of chief negotiator — a resignation that seems not to have taken effect.Erekat said that since then, there have been no direct talks, only separate meetings between US officials and their Israeli and Palestinian counterparts. Even these efforts did not bear fruit, he said, as Washington has yet to present the two sides with an official offer.The top negotiator then revealed the contents of a letter Abbas had sent US President Barack Obama following a particularly fraught Abbas-Kerry meeting on December 8.
“In that letter, the president made clear what he would not be able to accept as a Palestinian, as a people, as the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization). Firstly, we will not be able to accept Israel as a Jewish state,” Abbas wrote, according to Erekat.“Secondly, we will not be able to accept a Palestinian state with 1967 borders without Jerusalem. Thirdly, we will not be able to accept any Israeli on Palestinian land, sea, air and border crossings following the completion of the gradual withdrawal.”A fourth precondition reportedly set by Abbas was the instatement of the so-called “right of return” for potentially millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants to Israel.“I will not be able to accept any solution that does not grant the refugees their right to the possibility to return and be compensated as per UN Resolution 194, as well as one that does not allow for the release of prisoners,” Abbas reportedly wrote.Erekat said Abbas presented these preconditions to the Arab League, which transferred them to UN Security Council member states. This is in keeping with Erekat’s preferred strategy for achieving Palestinian statehood – appealing to the European Union to recognize the Palestinian state while appealing to various international bodies to sign treaties and protocols that would enable the Palestinian Authority to file a suit against Israel at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

Bennett said to give Netanyahu ‘red lines’ for framework deal

Jewish Home leader reportedly talks to Likud MKs, ministers about breaking from coalition over perceived flawed agreement with Palestinians

January 4, 2014, 4:43 am
Economics Minister Naftali Bennett reportedly met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu one-on-one multiple times this week and laid out “red lines” for a framework agreement with the Palestinians which, if breached, may prompt him to pull his party from the government, Channel 2 reported on Friday.According to the report, the Jewish Home party leader also held “intensive” meetings with ministers and MKs from Netanyahu’s Likud to test the possibility of their joining his secession in objection to the terms of a deal with the Palestinians.News of a possible rift in the center-right coalition surfaced amid US Secretary of State John Kerry’s latest visit to the region to bring about a framework agreement between Jerusalem and Ramallah. Kerry met with Netanyahu on Thursday and Friday, and met with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Friday as well.Kerry is asking both leaders to start making tough, highly political decisions in hopes of narrowing differences and thus to agree on a framework that will outline a final peace pact.
The goal is for the framework deal, or series of guidelines, to address all core issues, including borders between Israel and a future Palestinian state, Palestinian refugees and conflicting claims to the holy city of Jerusalem. No agreement on a framework is likely during Kerry’s visit.According to senior government officials cited by Channel 10 Friday, Netanyahu intends to put the framework agreement to a cabinet vote, a move which may find stiff opposition in the government.“The decision to put it before the cabinet is expected to cause a grave rift in the coalition government, and even within the Likud party,” Channel 10 reported.
Channel 2 correspondent Dana Weiss said that the reported meetings between Bennett and Netanyahu appeared to be indicative that members of the right wing government “understood that [the negotiations] are on the verge of something serious.”While the Channel 2 report didn’t mention any names of Likud members who spoke to Bennett, it showed clips of hardline right-wing MK Moshe Feiglin, Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon. It was not clear whether those individuals were connected to the story.The report also did not indicate what aspects of a framework deal with the Palestinians Bennett would find so intolerable as to prompt him to pull his 12-member Jewish Home party from Netanyahu’s coalition. Such a move has the potential to jeopardize the stability of Netanyahu’s government.Channel 2 added that Bennett felt slighted because ministers who support a negotiated agreement — Finance Minister Yair Lapid and Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, for example — have received more “VIP treatment” from American officials than he has.Similarly stiff opposition to a prospective framework agreement was voiced Friday by a close aide to Abbas, Yasser Abed Rabbo. Rabbo, the secretary general of the PLO, called the plan “biased towards Israel” and said it restricted Palestinian sovereignty in the West Bank.“The Palestinian side will not even look at a worthless piece of paper, a framework agreement, which contains general principles for later negotiations, when the two sides have already been negotiating for months and years,” Rabbo told the Palestinian al-Ayyam newspaper on Friday.
As of yet, no confirmed concrete details of the framework agreement proposed by the US have come to light.AP contributed to this report.

US Secretary of State John Kerry met with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah Friday evening to discuss a framework agreement that will address the outlines of a final peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.Abbas and Kerry, who arrived in the region Thursday, are expected to meet again Saturday morning. At the end of that scheduled meeting, some “declarations” may be released to the media, reported Israel Radio.Kerry has said Israel and the Palestinians will have to face tough choices in the coming week. Speaking Thursday at a joint press conference — before the first of several planned meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — Kerry said leaders on both sides already knew what would be contained in a US-drafted framework agreement, and added that an agreement was not “mission impossible.” Kerry met with Netanyahu on Thursday and again on Friday.Netanyahu is reportedly ready to continue talks on the basis of the framework deal, which has not been made public, even if it references a Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 lines — provided he is not required to sign it.But a framework accord may not be enough to secure a subsequent face-to-face meeting between Netanyahu and Abbas, an indication of the wide gaps that remain.Kerry’s security proposals, which reportedly provide for the presence of IDF troops to secure the West Bank-Jordanian border after a permanent deal is reached, have reportedly been rejected by Abbas. The sides also differ widely on possible land-swap arrangements, and are reportedly deadlocked on some core issues, including Jerusalem and the repatriation of refugees and their descendants.Kerry arrived in Israel Thursday amid reported plans by Netanyahu to authorize the construction of 1,400 homes over the pre-1967 Green Line — 600 in East Jerusalem and 800 in nearby West Bank settlements. Abbas has urged the US to block the plans and on Tuesday threatened to rally the UN against Israel’s settlements, which he termed a “cancer.”Israeli officials decided to delay announcing plans for new settlement construction until after Kerry leaves the region.Earlier Friday, during a meeting with the US secretary, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman stressed that, although dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians was “important,” any preliminary accord would leave many issues unresolved.Liberman cited the Palestinian refugees as an example of such an issue, and said nearly three million refugees would need to be integrated into the Palestinian state, a scenario that could lead to unrest.“It is likely that, after an agreement is reached, some other countries in the region will want to transfer the Palestinian refugees who currently reside in their territory,” he said, according to Channel 2 News.“That would mean that, to the 800,000 Palestinians who live in the Palestinian Authority today, about three million refugees will be added, and this may make the humanitarian situation there very difficult. This will bring frustration, violence and a security deterioration.”
The foreign minister suggested that issues such as refugees be addressed sooner rather than later, before the signing of an interim agreement.Yifa Yaakov and Raphael Ahren contributed to this report

Weather woes in Canada: Blizzards, blackouts, deep freezes

Atlantic Canada gets brunt of winter blasts, with deep freezes in Prairies, Ontario and Quebec

CBC News Posted: Jan 04, 2014 10:42 AM ET Last Updated: Jan 04, 2014 10:54 AM ET
People in Eastern Canada are bearing the brunt of an angry winter that unleashed its wrath yesterday and is still causing grief today, as many in blizzard-hit Newfoundland face power outagesthe Maritimes cleans up, and the Prairies, Ontario and Quebec are warned about below-freezing temperatures.CBC meteorologist Janine Baijnath says Newfoundland and Labrador, in particular, has been seriously hit, with a blizzard Friday that left about 38 centimetres of snow. Many Newfoundlanders awoke to no power due to the blizzard, after Friday's rolling blackouts.
"In St. John's, winds are gusting to 90 kilometres an hour ... there are still blizzard warnings and wind warnings gusting to about 100 km/h in parts [of the city]," she said Friday morning. "This will continue for most of the morning until the system tracks to the northeast. The system is expected to taper off by later [Saturday] morning, but pick up an additional two to four centimetres of snow for parts of Newfoundland."
Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro said severe weather caused a fire in Sunnyside that led to a shutdown at the Holyrood Generating Station, causing a massive outage across the island. The provincial Crown corporation said it is working to restore power at Holyrood but it may take several hours.The power outages are linked to generator failures, Newfoundland Power said.The storm continued on the Avalon Peninsula and parts of the east coast of the province.

Travel plans may be affected

Travel is also affected, with people heading to St. John's International Airport urged to reschedule arrangements as most flights are either cancelled or delayed, bus service essentially cancelled, and police urging drivers to stay off roads and highways if possible.Newfoundland Power ended its rotating power outages Friday night, saying people responded to the company's plea to conserve power.
  • Police advise motorists, including all officers, to stay off the roads as dangerous whiteout conditions brought on by snow and wind continue to lash much of Atlantic Canada. Here, a pedestrian in Halifax braves the blizzard.

Michelle Coughlan, with Newfoundland Power, said the rotating outages could start again as early as Saturday morning.Meanwhile in the Maritimes, cleanup has begun after a horrendous storm that slammed much of the region.People in Moncton, N.B., are being warned by the fire department to ensure snow is cleaned off their roofs, and from around basement windows, and dryer and natural gas vents, because at least 80 centimetres of snow has accumulated on the ground in the last two weeks alone.
The hardest-hit areas of the Maritimes appear to be the southwestern edges of Nova Scotia and along the Atlantic coastline.But a warming trend is expected to begin Sunday, according to Environment Canada, followed by rain, windy and mild conditions on Monday. Temperatures are expected to fall back below freezing on Tuesday, which could mark trouble for road crews and drivers.The Nova Scotia communities of Shelburne and Yarmouth received more than 19 centimetres of snow, with much of the rest of the province receiving about 20 centimetres. The North Shore and northern Cape Breton received the least amount of snow — between five and 10 centimetres.Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick also received between five and 10 centimetres of snow.

Extreme cold, but alert over in Toronto

In Toronto, where there were reports of loud booms that have been blamed on so-called frost quakes, an extreme cold alert that began on Jan. 1 was cancelled Saturday. The freezing weather has led to overflowing homeless shelters, and caused pipes to freeze and burst. The Toronto Transit System was also affected, with dozens of streetcars out of service due to freezing air brakes, and delays on Go Transit, the regional public transit service for the greater Toronto and Hamilton areas.Baijnath said wind-chill warnings remain in effect in various parts of the country, including in Quebec, where it feels more like –30 C."As you head more toward the north, it feels more like –50, with the risk of frostbite to exposed skin," she said.Cold is also funnelling in from parts of the Prairies, Baijnath said, with the wind chill making it feel like –38 in Saskatoon.

Dangerous cold sets in as heavy snow blankets U.S. Northeast

Reuters

BOSTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - People across the northeastern United States on Friday dug out after a heavy snowfall that grounded thousands of flights, closed schools and government offices, caused several deaths and left the region in the grip of bitter cold.Boston was hard hit by the first major winter storm of 2014, getting nearly 18 inches of snow, while some towns north of New England's largest city saw close to 2 feet of accumulation.Major cities from Washington, D.C., to Portland, Maine, were slammed, with New York's Manhattan Island getting 6 inches of snow and parts of Queens seeing more than 10 inches of fresh powder.While plows made easy work of the powdery snow to clear roads and runways, authorities warned residents to expect unusually cold weather across the Midwest and Northeast.Embarrass, Minnesota, notched a reading of minus 36 Fahrenheit (minus 38 Celsius) that stood as the lowest temperature recorded in the United States outside Alaska on Friday, according to the National Weather Service."Temperatures tonight and tomorrow are expected to be extremely low, and dangerously so," Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick said. "These are dangerous conditions."The forecast overnight low for Boston was minus 4F (minus 20C) while New York looked for a low of 3F (minus 16C).New York City's Department of Homeless Services went to "code blue," doubling the number of vans patrolling streets to seek people who needed shelter and streamlining the check-in process for homeless shelters.
SEVERAL DEATHS REPORTED
Washington received more than 2 inches of snow, Philadelphia roughly 5 inches and Hartford 7 inches. (U.S. snowfall: http://link.reuters.com/zym75v) In Cambridge, Massachusetts, just outside Boston, Tom Klein took a break from shoveling and said that a life in New England had accustomed him to harsh winter weather.
"I love a good snowstorm," the 60-year-old co-owner of a small manufacturing company said. "I don't mind shoveling. I've never minded shoveling."Some 3,467 flights were canceled on Friday across the United States and 12,394 were delayed with Philadelphia and Newark airports hardest hit, according to FlightAware.com.Airports across the region warned travelers to expect residual delays as they cleared a backlog of flights."We now have all our airfields - runways and taxiways - clear," said Ed Freni, aviation director for Boston's Logan International Airport. "We will be back to normal operations by tomorrow."The weather was a factor in several deaths.Police recovered the body of a 71-year-old woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease who had wandered out in the rural western New York State town of Byron on Thursday night, improperly dressed for the single-digit temperatures, according to the Genesee County Sheriff's Office.
A Philadelphia city worker was killed after a machine he was using was crushed by a mound of rock salt, media said.
DE BLASIO DIGS OUT
New York's new mayor, Bill de Blasio, started his day shoveling the walk in front of his Brooklyn brownstone - a task his wife had said their 16-year-old son Dante would handle. Dante turned up later, not being an early riser, his father said at a briefing.Asked what grade he would give his teenaged son, de Blasio said: "I give Dante an A for effort and a D for punctuality."In Washington, the Office of Personnel Management told hundreds of thousands of federal workers they could work from home or take a leave because of the storm. The United Nations in New York and federal courts in New York, New Jersey, and Boston shut down. Schools closed across much of the region.A Wayne, New Jersey, man was rescued Friday afternoon after falling through the ice at Ramapo Lake, where he was snowshoeing in an area frequented by hikers and mountain bikers, state officials said.The Oakland Police Department dive rescue team pulled the man to safety and resuscitated 34-year-old Guncel Karadogan, who was talking and lucid as he was taken to a local hospital, where there was no immediate word on his condition.And in Monmouth, New Jersey, fire officials said the driver of a mail truck and two people in another vehicle were rescued from flood waters in separate incidents after the Shrewsbury River flooded during high tide late Friday morning.
One victim was transported to Monmouth Medical Center. However, a spokesperson could not release any information on that victim.In Green Bay, Wisconsin, the temperature plummeted to -18 degrees Fahrenheit (-28 C) on Friday, breaking a record for the date set in 1979, according to the National Weather Service.
Despite the frigid forecast predicted for the end of the weekend, Green Bay Packers fans bought the remaining 40,000 tickets this week for their team's National Football League playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.The NFL threatened to prohibit local TV from airing the game if the team was unable to sell out the game in Lambeau Field, where diehard fans will brave the temperatures expected reach 0F (minus 18C) during the game.(Additional reporting by Ellen Wulfhorst and Barbara Goldberg in New York; Daniel Lovering in Cambridge, Massachusetts; Jeffrey B.

Rare 'frost quake' phenomenon bewilders Greater Toronto Area residents

A major ice storm devastated parts of the Toronto. (Ivy Cuervo/CBC)

A baffling boom on Christmas Eve that rattled Greater Toronto Area residents reeling in the wake of an ice storm was likely a rare phenomenon known as a frost quake.Residents in the GTA and surrounding areas took to Twitter with reports of mysterious booms late Christmas Eve and early Christmas Day that even jarred many awake from slumber.With the area encased in ice following a nasty mix of rain and snow Sunday, many believed ice or a tree limb had fallen on their rooftop.As first reported by Global Toronto, the U.S. Geological Survey did not register a seismic event in Ontario on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and there were no reports to the American Meteor Society, ruling out comets or meteors, and leaving a cryoseism, or frost quake, as a likely explanation.A rare  phenomenon, cryoseisms usually "occur when temperatures go from above to below freezing," says CBC News meteorologist Michelle Leslie."Water in the surrounding soil and rocks freezes. As water freezes, it expands, putting pressure on the dirt and rocks," she says."When the pressure build-up is too much, the dirt or rocks will crack, and you hear a loud boom."They tend to occur between midnight and dawn, the coldest time of night and are very localized, so residents a few blocks away may not have heard the Christmas Eve or Christmas day booms.In Toronto, an extreme cold weather alert was in effect Tuesday, and temperatures were well below freezing in the GTA and surrounding areas.Some 250,000 residents in Toronto were without power following the major ice storm and tens of thousands are in their sixth day without electricity.

ROCKY PEACE TALKS COLD IN CANADA AMERICA

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

1 THESSALONIANS 5:3
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

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.

Israelis doubt Palestinians’ intentions, PM tells Kerry

Netanyahu blasts prisoner celebrations in Ramallah, but secretary praises releases, says leaders will have to make ‘tough decisions’

January 2, 2014, 6:47 pm 11-The Times of Israel
Israel and the Palestinians will have to face tough choices in the coming weeks, US Secretary of State John Kerry said in Jerusalem on Thursday as he arrived in the region for his 10th round of shuttle diplomacy.
Speaking with Benjamin Netanyahu at a joint press conference before the first of several planned meetings between the two, Kerry said leaders on both sides of the table already knew what would be included in a US-drafted framework agreement, but added that an agreement was “not mission impossible.”“We know what the issues are and the parameters,” he said. “The time is soon arriving when leaders will have to make tough decisions.”Kerry said that he would “work with both sides to narrow differences on a framework that will set guidelines for negotiations.”However, Netanyahu, recalling Palestinian celebrations over a prisoner release earlier in the week, said he was skeptical over Ramallah’s commitment to peace.“I know that you are committed to peace; I know that I am committed to peace; but, unfortunately, given the actions and words of Palestinian leaders, there’s growing doubt in Israel that the Palestinians are committed to peace,” Netanyahu said.Kerry landed in Israel on Thursday afternoon and is scheduled to meet with Abbas Friday to try to get the sides to agree to a framework agreement that will address the outlines of a final peace deal.A framework agreement would cover “all core issues” based on points already stated by both sides, the secretary of state noted, and said that his role was “not to impose US ideas, but to facilitate the ideas of both parties.”Kerry, making his tenth visit to the region this year, also praised Israel for the “difficult decision” Monday night to release the 26 long-term Palestinian prisoners, the third group of four as stipulated by the agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority on the US-brokered talks.“Every time I visit, Israel’s security concerns are uppermost in my mind. I understand the nature of the security threat here. I know what it’s like to live in Israel, with once upon a time Katyusha rockets coming to Kiryat Shmona, or rockets from Gaza coming in Sderot,” said Kerry.However, Netanyahu criticized Abbas for embracing terrorists as heroes when he welcomed the released prisoners. ”Instead of preparing their people to peace, Palestinian leaders are inciting their people against Israel,” Netanyahu said. “Peace means recognizing Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people. Abbas must reject terror and embrace peace.”“To glorify the murders of innocent women and men as heroes is an outrage,” the prime minister said. “How can President Abbas say that he stands against terrorism, when he embraces the perpetrators of terrorism and glorifies them as heroes?”The Israeli people are prepared for a “historic peace,” Netanyahu said, but ”we must have a Palestinian partner who’s equally prepared to make this peace. Peace means ending incitement; it means fighting terrorism and condemning terrorism; it means recognizing Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people; it means meeting Israel’s security needs; and it means being prepared to truly end the conflict once and for all.”A US State Department official said that while Kerry doesn’t expect a “big breakthrough” during his trip, he is likely to present both sides with the framework agreement touching on all core issues, including the borders between Israel and a future Palestine; security; Palestinian refugees; and conflicting claims to the holy city of Jerusalem.The official also said if the parties agreed on a framework for negotiating a final peace deal, it might not be made public to avoid exposing the leaders to political pressures at home.Netanyahu is likely to be asked to accept — with some modifications — the lines that existed in 1967 before Israel captured Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Abbas fears being asked to recognize Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people and give up the so-called “right of return” for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who fled or were expelled in the war over Israel’s creation in 1948.Netanyahu is reported ready to continue talks on the basis of a framework deal, even if it references a Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 lines, provided he is not required to sign it.A framework accord might not even be enough to ensure a subsequent face-to-face meeting between Netanyahu and Abbas, an indication of the wide gaps that remain.Kerry’s security proposals, which reportedly provide for the presence of IDF troops to secure the West Bank-Jordan border after a permanent deal is reached, have reportedly been rejected by Abbas. The sides also differ widely on possible land-swap arrangements, and are reportedly deadlocked on some core issues, including Jerusalem and the refugees.Kerry’s arrival comes amid a row over reported plans by Netanyahu to authorize construction of 1,400 homes over the pre-1967 Green Line — 600 in Jerusalem, and 800 in West Bank settlements. Abbas has urged the US to block the plans and on Tuesday threatened to rally the UN against Israel’s settlements, which he termed a “cancer.”Israeli officials decided to delay announcing planned new settlement construction while Kerry is visiting the region, saying it was inappropriate to make the announcement during the American diplomat’s stay.Negotiators from both sides have had some 20 rounds of talks since summer. Just four months remain until a US-set target date for a final agreement.Yifa Yaakov and Raphael Ahren contributed to this report.

Opposition bill would forbid West Bank annexation

With support of Labor, Meretz and Shas, the left mounts a response to a right-wing proposal to make the Jordan Valley Israeli

January 1, 2014, 3:53 pm 21-The Times of Israel
A new bill being advanced by the left would forbid the government from annexing any part of the West Bank not currently under Israeli sovereignty, except in the framework of a peace deal with the Palestinians.The bill, proposed by MK Hilik Bar (Labor), with the unanimous support of Labor MKs and some from Shas and Meretz, comes as a response to a flurry of recent right-wing measures seeking to unilaterally annex parts of the West Bank.The right-wing bills have included at least two proposals seeking to annex the Jordan Valley, and others that could make it more difficult to pass any future peace agreement through the Israeli political system, such as a proposed semi-constitutional Basic Law that would grant constitutional status to a law requiring a national referendum in the case of a territorial swap.Many of the right-wing bills have drawn the ire of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who suggested they undermined Israel’s negotiating position by violating the agreed-upon rules of the negotiations with the Palestinians, including no unilateral moves by either side during the current nine-month round of negotiations.The new left-wing bill, a revived version of a similar bill proposed by Bar last July and written together with the One Voice organization, seeks to reverse the demands of the bills proposed by the right.“The final status of the territory [defined in the bill as the West Bank sans Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip -- HRG] will be determined only in the framework of an agreement that arranges ‘two states for two peoples’ between the State of Israel and the formal representatives of the Palestinian Authority… The State of Israel shall not apply its sovereignty unilaterally to lands in the territory, except in such an agreement,” the bill reads.The measure is slated to go Sunday before the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, the cabinet committee that grants government support to a bill. The committee’s support usually translates into a nearly automatic Knesset majority.Last week, the same cabinet committee voted nine to three in favor of a bill proposed by MK Miri Regev (Likud) to annex the Jordan Valley.
The new bill forbidding such annexation is unlikely to pass either in the cabinet or in the Knesset plenum due to coalition considerations, but will give the coalition parties “an opportunity” to show “whether they are for or against a two-state solution,” Bar said.The idea that “a separation between Israel and the Palestinians is needed … has become a broad national consensus,” the explanatory portion of the bill argues.Whether or not the bill wins cabinet approval on Sunday, Bar vowed to bring it to the Knesset floor for a preliminary vote by the following Wednesday.“Unilateral annexation of the territories by Israel will, as everyone knows, constitute a death blow to the negotiations and to our efforts to achieve peace in the framework of two states, and this bill is the clear response of the Knesset majority that desires two states to the right’s insane penchant for unilateral annexation,” Bar said in a statement.The bill won the support this week of the entire Labor faction in the Knesset in a unanimous vote during the party’s faction meeting on Monday, and may represent the party’s new, peace-focused political message in the wake of the election of new party leader MK Isaac Herzog.That critique of the right was the key message delivered by the bill’s main sponsor on Wednesday.“Today’s right has unfortunately transformed in recent years from the nationalist camp to the binationalist camp,” said Bar, “and in its actions and the measures it is pushing, is trying to seal the fate of Israel as the single state of two peoples, effectively eliminating Israel’s future as a Jewish, democratic state. This will signify the destruction of the Zionist dream.”

Prague to demand explanation over arms cache at Palestinian envoy’s home

Illegal arsenal contained enough weapons for 10 men; Palestinians change story about safe in explosion which killed Jamel al-Jamal Wednesday

January 2, 2014, 9:03 pm 15-The Times of Israel
The Czech Foreign Ministry expressed concern Thursday over the discovery of a large, illegal weapons stockpile at the home of the Palestinian ambassador in Prague, Jamel al-Jamal, a day after he was killed in an explosion there.A ministry statement said that the findings possibly constitute a breach of diplomatic rules, and warrant a clarification from Palestinian officials, Reuters reported.“In such case, the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations may have been breached and we will demand an explanation,” the ministry said in a statement.Respekt, a Czech weekly newspaper, reported that the discovered arsenal was enough to arm a unit of 10 men.Czech police spokeswoman Andrea Zoulova confirmed that arms had been found in the ambassador’s residence, which is located within a newly constructed Palestinian diplomatic mission in the city.The stockpile included heavy firearms being held illegally, unbeknownst to Czech authorities, according to a Channel 2 news report.Reuters quoted an unnamed Palestinian official claiming that the mission’s staff had submitted the weapons to Czech authorities. He said they had been retrieved from an old sack, untouched since the era of the Cold War. But Prague police chief Martin Vondrasek told local radio that the weapons “have not gone through a registration process in the Czech Republic.”Al-Jamal, 56, was killed Wednesday when a safe at his home exploded. He and his wife were at home at the time of the safe’s explosion, according to Palestinian Embassy spokesman Nabil El-Fahel. Al-Jamal was seriously injured and rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short while later.Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riad Malki said no foul play was suspected, and claimed that the safe had been left untouched for more than 20 years.Later, however, El-Fahel told Czech radio that the safe had been in regular use. ”[The safe] was used on a daily basis at the embassy and it was opened and closed almost every day,” the embassy spokesman said.The ambassador’s daughter, 30-year-old Rana Al-Jamal, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from Ramallah in the West Bank that she thought foul play was involved.
“The Palestinian official account is baseless. The safe box has been in regular use — my mom (who lives there) told me that. The box was moved a day earlier and apparently something happened in the way,” she said.“We, the family, believe it is a crime, and we need to find out what happened.”She did not elaborate on what she thought may have occurred.The safe was recently moved from the old embassy building, Malki had claimed, adding that it had come from a building that used to house the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s offices in the 1980s. “The ambassador decided to open it. After he opened it, apparently something happened inside (the safe) and went off,” Malki said.Al-Jamal was born in 1957, in Beirut’s Sabra and Shatilla refugee camp. His family is originally from Jaffa in what is now Israel.He joined Fatah in 1975. In 1979, he was appointed deputy ambassador in Bulgaria.Starting in 1984, he served as a diplomat in Prague, eventually as acting ambassador. From 2005-2013, he served as consul general in Alexandria, Egypt.
In October 2013, he was appointed ambassador in Prague.The Associated Press contributed to this report

Four Islamic Jihad members arrested over Bat Yam bus bombing

Total of 14 suspects named by security forces, including Bedouin Israeli citizens who unwittingly smuggled attackers from West Bank

January 2, 2014, 11:08 pm 0
Four Islamic Jihad operates from Bethlehem were arrested in connection with the December bombing of a Bat Yam public bus.Another 10 people, including several Bedouin citizens, were arrested for assisting in the operation, which ended with no injuries after an alert passenger noticed the bomb, authorities said.
The arrests were cleared for publication Thursday.The four Islamic Jihad operatives were named as Yosef Salamah, 22, Sahaha Tamari, 24, Hamadi Tamari, 21 and Sami Harimi, 20. Sahaha and Hamadi Tamari, two brothers, had both previously served time in Israeli prisons, and Salamah is a Palestinian Authority police officer.According to the released documents, Harimi was smuggled from the West Bank to Jaffa on or around December 22 by Bedouin acquaintances, where he prayed in a local mosque and then was able to plant a bomb on Dan bus 240 heading south to Bat Yam. Security forces said that the Bedouin were unaware that Harimi was planning to carry out a terror attack.The other three men built the explosive device, consisting of about 2 kilograms of explosives placed in a pressure cooker.The terrorists had placed a large amount of nails and screws inside the pressure cooker, which Harimi detonated remotely by cellphone.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the security forces’ “quick action” in capturing the terror cell behind the attempted bombing.Netanyahu noted in a statement that one of the suspects was “a Palestinian police officer,” which the prime minister said was “further proof of direct involvement of people in the Palestinian Authority in terror activity.“The time has come for Mahmoud Abbas to cease celebrating with freed murderers, and lead his people to the way of peace,” he said.The terrorists were planning a further, larger bombing in Tel Aviv, but were arrested before they could carry out another attack, a senior IDF official told Ynet News. A further 25 kg. of explosive material was confiscated during the arrests, he added.
The explosion badly damaged the bus and lightly injured a police sapper who was attempting to defuse the device. All the passengers had been evacuated from the bus minutes before, after the suspicious bag was discovered.“A passenger alerted the driver about a suspicious bag located behind the back door of the bus,” a spokesperson for the Dan bus company said. “The driver stopped the bus and examined the bag. He saw electrical wires attached to the bag and ordered all passengers off the bus, leaving after them. He then called police sappers.”The explosion blew the windows out of the bus and charred the sides of the vehicle.Police said it was the most serious attack inside Israel in more than a year, and urged the public to be on the alert for additional bombing attempts. Security forces set up a massive manhunt for the perpetrators and accomplices, and set up roadblocks around the country.At the time Palestinian terror groups praised the attempted attack, but failed to take responsibility for the blast.“This is the appropriate way to deal with Israel,” Ahmed al-Mudallal, a senior Islamic Jihad member, said in an interview on Al Aqsa TV. Al-Mudallal also threatened that the Palestinians are “on the verge” of resuming attacks against the “Zionist enemy.”
“We welcome the operation in Tel Aviv,” Hamas spokesperson Moshir al-Masri said in a message broadcast on Al Aqsa TV, the faction’s official station. “It comes as a response to all the actions the Zionists perpetrate daily.”“The Jews need to pay a price — the Palestinians won’t stand by and not acknowledge [the Israeli actions]. The incident proves that opposition can reach deep into the Zionist territory,” he continued.

Storm blasts northeastern U.S. with snow, frigid winds

In Maine, temperatures could plummet to -37 C in the mountains

The Associated Press Posted: Jan 02, 2014 2:59 PM ET Last Updated: Jan 02, 2014 3:32 PM ET
A winter storm promising significant snowfall, strong winds and frigid air bore down on the northeastern United States, making commutes hazardous for the first work day of the new year and giving some students an extra day off school following Christmas break.Snow began falling overnight in parts of New England and New York, but the real brunt of the storm wasn't expected to hit until later Thursday. As much as a foot of snow or more was forecast for some areas overnight Thursday into Friday. Temperatures were expected to plummet, with some areas seeing highs just above -17 C, according to the National Weather Service.
"There will be travel problems," said Hugh Johnson, a meteorologist in Albany, N.Y. "It will be very cold."
As much as 30 centimetres of snow was forecast for the Boston area, and the National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for Long Island — where 20 to 25 centimetres of snow could fall and winds could gust up to 72 kilometres per hour — from Thursday evening into Friday afternoon."We're going to see a lot of snow and a lot of wind," said Jason Tuell, director of the eastern region of the National Weather Service. "We're concerned about whiteout conditions possibly tonight with the blowing and drifting snow."The wind chill will make it feel 23 degrees below zero or colder in some places, Tuell said.Some schools in New England and New York closed pre-emptively or planned early dismissals, while cities issued parking bans and homeless shelters were expected to fill beyond capacity.

Thousands of flights cancelled

The storm dropped up to 30 centimetres of snow on parts of Michigan and 15 centimetres or more in Illinois, prompting hundreds of flight cancellations Wednesday into and out of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, according to the aviation tracking website FlightAware.com.U.S. airlines cancelled more than 1,800 flights nationwide on Thursday in advance of the storm. Many were on regional airlines that handle shorter flights for the major carriers.More than 500 flights in or out of O'Hare airport were cancelled, according to FlightStats.com. The flights that were getting out were delayed more than half an hour, and incoming flights were being delayed at their origin, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.Airlines already have cancelled more than 500 flights scheduled for Friday.AAA Michigan said it received 500 calls by mid-morning Thursday from drivers dealing with spinouts, cars in ditches and dead batteries. In New Hampshire, state police temporarily closed a busy section of northbound Interstate 93 just south of the Interstate 89 junction in Bow because of multiple accidents. Accidents were also reported in Ohio, Indiana and Missouri."Anything below (-3 C) and the salt isn't nearly as effective," said Becky Allmeroth, maintenance engineer for the Missouri Department of Transportation's St. Louis district, where crews were mixing chemicals and beet juice with salt to try and make roads passable. "Since the snow blows so easily and the temperatures are so cold, once it hits the roadway it freezes when it hits the surface."In Maine, temperatures could plummet to -37 C in the mountains Friday night, meteorologist John Cannon said. It's so cold that the Smiling Hill Farm cross-country ski area closed for the day on Thursday.

1 dead, 15 injured when bus, pickup crash

Authorities said the weather may have been a factor in a fatal crash Wednesday evening involving a pickup and a bus carrying casino patrons in Indiana. Police said the truck's driver was killed and 15 bus passengers were injured in the collision on a snow covered and slushy highway in Rolling Prairie.Sections of interior southern New England and New York could get up to 30 centimetres of snow by the time the storm moves out, with forecasts generally calling for 15 to 30 centimetres. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged the city's commuters to leave their cars at home in case major highways are closed for Thursday's evening rush hour.An early morning dusting of snow gave some residents an idea of what was to come later as the storm headed toward the city."I guess it's kind of a preview," said Helmut Kugler, 54, as he gassed up his car at a Mobil station in the Bronx. "It's not snowing now, but they say it's coming hard."THE CANADIAN PRESS-AP
