Quebec Superior Court has denied the ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect Lev Tahor
the right to appeal a decision rendered last November, which ordered 14
children be returned to Quebec to be placed in youth protection
services.Justice Luc Lefebvre ruled that the 30-day period to file an appeal had not been respected, and therefore the judgement rendered could not longer be appealed under youth protection laws.Last November, about 200 members of the sect fled their homes in
Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Que. in the middle of the night and moved to
Chatham, Ont. — all while Quebec youth protection officials were
preparing to withdraw some children from their families.Quebec’s youth protection officials, as well as provincial police, had been investigating for years after allegations of neglect and abuse.Lev Tahor community leaders have always denied any wrongdoing.
Earlier this month, an Ontario court ruled to uphold a Quebec’s court’s decision that 13 children be placed with foster families.
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Retired Pope Benedict XVI joined Pope
Francis at a ceremony Saturday creating the cardinals who will elect
their successor in an unprecedented blending of papacies past, present
and future.Benedict discreetly entered St. Peter's Basilica
surrounded by a small entourage and was greeted with applause and tears
from the stunned people in the pews. He smiled, waved and seemed
genuinely happy to be there, taking his seat in the front row, off to
the side, alongside the red-draped cardinals.
It was the first time Benedict and Francis have appeared together at a public liturgical ceremony since Benedict retired a year ago and became the first pope to step down in more than 600 years.The significance of his presence was multifold, signaling both continuity and even a sign of Benedict's approval of the 19 men Francis had chosen to join the College of Cardinals, the elite group of churchmen whose primary job is to elect a pope.Francis' choices largely reflected his view that the church must minister to the peripheries and not be a self-reverential institution but rather a place of welcome and mercy. He named cardinals from some of the world's poorest countries, Haiti, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast among them, tapping many pastors like himself.Saturday's ceremony was also the latest step in the evolving reality of having two popes living side-by-side in the Vatican. Over the summer, the two men appeared together in the Vatican gardens to unveil a statue, but Saturday's event marked one of the most important liturgical ceremonies a pope can preside over: the formal installation of new cardinals.In that way, Benedict's presence marked a first step in reintegrating him into the public life of the church after a period of being hidden away that began almost exactly a year ago with his Feb. 28, 2013 resignation.With Saturday's precedent, chances grew that Benedict would also appear at the April 27 canonization of his pope, John Paul II, and Pope John XXIII.
After processing down the central aisle at the start of the service, Francis went directly to Benedict, clasped him by his shoulders and they embraced.The crowd erupted in polite applause again when one of the new cardinals, Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, greeted Benedict in his introductory remarks, saying "We are grateful for your presence here among us."Benedict, dressed in his white cassock with a long double-breasted overcoat, again smiled and waved.Some people reached out to try to touch Benedict as he passed by, others tried to approach him to take his photo but were restrained by ushers.The occasion for this historic first was Francis' first cardinal-making ceremony to formally welcome 19 new "princes of the church" into the College of Cardinals.He is making his imprint on the group who will elect his successor, tapping like-minded cardinals from some of the world's smallest, most remote and impoverished nations to help him run the Catholic Church.Two hail from Africa, two from Asia and six from Francis' native Latin America, which is home to nearly half the world's Catholics but is grossly underrepresented in the church's hierarchy.
Giant squid were once the stuff of sea monster legend.With their eyes (the biggest in the animal kingdom) and tentacles (they're more predatory than previously believed), these sea-dwelling creatures eluded humans for centuries, making their first cameo just two
years ago. Now, giant squid are turning up with regularity off the
Japanese coast. And like Captain Ahab before him, one Japanese fisherman
suspects something fishy: It must be “some kind of omen.”Such was the concern of Shigenori Goto,
who “had seen no giant squid before in [his] 15-year fishing career.”
Two weeks ago, he caught a 13-footer at Sadogashima Island.“When I hauled up the net,” he told local reporters, “the squid slowly came floating up.”The
strange occurrences began earlier this year. A giant squid was caught
in a stationary net near Sadogashima Island; another was found in a
similar situation in the town of Iwami a few days later. Then, on Jan.
19, tentacles—presumably from a giant squid—washed up off the shore of
Kashiwazaki, another coastal city.Able
to regenerate limbs, giant squid have tentacles that can extend up to
33 feet. The mollusks usually live about 2,000 feet below sea level,
where water temperatures typically run 10 degrees Celsius.So why are more giant squid being seen by humans? Tsunemi Kuboder of
the country’s National Museum of Nature and Science, has a theory: With
ocean temperatures dropping in the region this year, the giant squid
may be abandoning the chilly ocean depths for the surface, where the
water is warmer.
Kiev (AFP) - Ukraine's emboldened opposition pushed Saturday
for Viktor Yanukovych to resign immediately amid reports that the
embattled president had left Kiev after striking a deal to end days of
bloody unrest.An emerging power vacuum gripped the heart of the
capital a day after Yanukovych and his political rivals signed a
Western-brokered agreement to end the ex-Soviet nation's worst crisis
since independence from Moscow in 1991.Key government buildings
remained without police protection and baton-armed protesters dressed in
military fatigues wandered freely across the president's once-fortified
compound."We have taken the perimeter of the president's
residence under our control for security reasons," Mykola Velichkovich
of the opposition's self-declared Independence Square defence unit told
AFP.
Friday's deal called for early elections and a unity government while granting amnesty for anti-government protesters detained during three days of unrest that claimed nearly 100 lives.It also called for the demonstrators to relinquish all public spaces by the end of the weekend, including Kiev's iconic Independence Square, the epicentre of the unrest.The demonstrators, however, appeared unwilling to abandon the square, which has been occupied since November, when Yanukovych ignited outrage by ditching an historic EU agreement in favour of closer ties with old master Moscow.The anti-government protests escalated into a Cold War-style confrontation between Moscow and the West over the country's future, with the Kremlin bent on keeping reins on its historic fiefdom and Western countries hoping to bring the economically struggling nation of 46 million into their fold.- Parliament 'the only legitimate body' -
Signs of the authorities' slipping grip on power were heightened by a bold push by parliament leaders to force Yanukovych to stand down long before a round of early presidential elections are due to be held in December.Opposition leader Vitali Klitschko told a boisterous parliament session that Yanukovych had already left Kiev while other lawmakers claimed to have evidence that the president had actually fled Ukraine."We must, as the people demand, adopt a resolution calling on Yanukovych to immediately resign," Klitschko told deputies in Ukraine's Verhovna Rada parliament."Today, parliament is the only legitimate body of power," he stressed.The president's ruling Regions Party that had previously pushed Ukraine closer toward Russia was also standing in disarray Saturday amid mass defections by lawmakers to opposition ranks.Parliament speaker Volodymyr Rybak submitted his resignation on Saturday on account of ill health. More than 40 lawmakers have already quit the Regions Party -- once in control of 208 votes in the 450-seat Rada -- since the deadly unrest first erupted on Tuesday.- Lenin statues fall -Anti-Russian sentiment has in recent weeks been sweeping the parts of Ukraine that until recently had been strongly loyal to the Kremlin and wary of the cultural values espoused by EU states.Ukrainian media reports said that protesters had since Friday toppled statues of Lenin -- the Soviet founder who for decades has symbolised Moscow's political might -- in the pro-Russian cities of Dnipropetrovsk and Potava.Ukraine's Liga.net website showed a video of protesters pulling the towering figure of Lenin down from its pedestal by tying several cords in a noose around its neck.- Embattled president disappears -Meanwhile the whereabouts of Yanukovych following the signing remained uncertain amid speculation that he was either visiting his base of eastern support in Kharkiv or had fled to either Russia or the United Arab Emirates.A spokeswoman for the ruling party told one Ukrainian media outlet that Yanukovych was indeed in Kharkiv. But the president's office issued no immediate information on his whereabouts.The president would need to sign a flurry of legislation opposition lawmakers adopted within the first hours of Friday's peace deal.One of the main measures amends a law that could see fiery opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko released from a seven-year jail sentence for "abuse of power" she controversially received after Yanukovych took office in 2010.- Russia refuses to sign -
Friday's peace pact was worked out after two days of intense mediation by the foreign ministers of European powers France and Germany along with Ukraine's cultural ally Poland and a representative from Russia. Officials said US Vice President Joe Biden also placed repeated calls to both Ukrainian negotiating sides.
Putin's representative pointedly skipped the signing of the deal. Envoy Vladimir Lukin explained on his return to Moscow that it was "because several questions remain unanswered"."The consultations will continue," Lukin said in comments that suggested Moscow still held out hope of somehow revising the agreement.

There's Cardinal-designate Chibly Langlois,
who isn't even an archbishop but rather the 55-year-old bishop of Les
Cayes and now Haiti's first-ever cardinal. Another Caribbean cardinal,
Kelvin Edward Felix, was for a quarter-century the archbishop of tiny
Castries, St. Lucia, population 163,000.The archbishop of Managua, Nicaragua, Leopoldo Jose Brenes
Solorzano, is an old friend who worked alongside the former Cardinal
Jorge Mario Bergoglio in preparing the seminal document of the pope's
vision of a missionary church — the so-called Aparecida Document
produced by the 2007 summit of Latin American bishops. Nicaragua's
second cardinal ever, Brenes has made an impression at the Vatican with
his unruly gray curls and the blue jeans he donned for the flight to
Rome.Cardinal Andrew Yeom Soo-jung, archbishop of Seoul, South
Korea, has serious Catholic chops: His ancestors were among the lay
people who brought Christianity to the Korean peninsula in the 19th
century, and his great-great grandfather and his wife were executed as
part of the Joseon Dynasty's persecution of Christians, the Asian
Catholic news agency UCANews reported. Of the six children in his
immediate family, three became priests.Though
he hails from Burkina Faso, Cardinal Philippe Nakellentuba Ouedraogo
sounded an awful lot like Francis in his 2013 Christmas homily.
Nakellentuba denounced the "inequality, injustice, poverty and misery"
of today's society where employers exploit their workers and the
powerful few have most of the money while the poor masses suffer.
One
cardinal sat out the ceremony even as he made a record by living to see
it: Cardinal Loris Francesco Capovilla, aged 98, became the oldest
member of the College of Cardinals, but due to his age couldn't make the
trip from northern Italy. His was a sentimental choice for Francis: For
over a decade, Capovilla was the private secretary to Pope John XXIII,
whom Francis will make a saint alongside Pope John Paul II in April in a
sign of his admiration for the pope who convened the Second Vatican
Council.Capovilla, Felix and the emeritus archbishop of Pamplona,
Spain are all over age 80 and thus ineligible to vote in a conclave to
elect Francis' successor.___Follow Nicole Winfield at www.twitter.com/nwinfield Uh-Oh: Giant Squid Sightings Considered an ‘Omen’ by Japanese Fishermen

Ukraine deal set to end conflict, lead to early elections
21.02.14 @ 16:51-EUOBSERVER
By Nikolaj Nielsen
BRUSSELS - A deal in Kiev promises to end an outbreak of violence, which has seen over 75 people killed in the past few days.Embattled President Viktor Yanukovych and the leaders of the three
opposition parties agreed on Friday (21 February) to a number of demands
in a wider effort to stabilise the country, which has been gripped by
three months of unrest.The deal calls for constitutional reforms, a coalition and national
unity government, a law to restore the 2004 constitution, presidential
elections by December, an independent investigation into the violence,
and a promise not to impose a state of emergency.The parliament has already voted to restore the 2004 constitution which weakens presidential powers.Yanukovych has himself declared his intention to initiate early presidential elections.Foreign ministers from Germany, France and Poland helped broker the agreement in Kiev.All three released a joint statement commending “the parties for
their courage and commitment to the agreement and call for an immediate
end to all violence and confrontation in Ukraine.”US ambassador to Ukraine Geoff Pyatt congratulated the three foreign ministers.“This is a hopeful breakthrough,” he said.EU council president Herman Van Rompuy also welcomed the agreement.
“The EU continues to stand ready to support Ukraine,” he said."Implementation is key for the sake of country and its people," tweeted EU neighbourhood commissioner Stefan Fuele.But not everyone is happy.The leader of the militant, Pravy Sector, rejected Yanukovych's offer
of a December presidential election, describing the leader and his
close entourage as criminals.The militant group, which is not among the three signatories, wants
the interior minister arrested after snipers shot dead Maidan protestors
in the square despite a ceasefire agreement.Dramatic video footage posted online on Thursday show demonstrators
on Institutska Street near Independence Square being shot. The shots
continued to ring out as people rushed to drag away the wounded.Ukraine's Health Ministry says 77 people are dead. Eleven of the dead are police officers.The sudden upsurge in violence caught EU leaders off guard with member states promising punitive measures in response.Targeted EU sanctions against those behind the violence announced
Thursday remain in place despite the compromise agreement thrashed out
in the early hours in Kiev.Names have yet to be announced with Brussels officials still waiting
for the sanction list to be sent from the EU delegation in Kiev, said an
EU diplomat.“It is difficult for me to say where we are at with the list of names
but as I far as I understand it should be coming to Brussels from
Kiev,” said the diplomat.
NOW WE HAVE GOT A SOUTH AMERICAN ARAB WINTER GOING ALSO.
Caracas (AFP) - Opponents of Venezuela's leftist government
prepared for a mass protest rally in Caracas Saturday, one day after
President Nicolas Maduro issued a surprise call for talks with the
United States.
At least nine people have been killed, 104 injured
and 137 arrested in weeks of street demonstrations that begin peacefully
and often turn violent, according to government figures.Pro-government
"Chavista women" are also scheduled to march "against fascism" on
Saturday in Caracas. While pro- and anti-government groups will march in
a different part of town, violence could erupt if they meet at any
point.Henrique Capriles, governor of Miranda state and the main
opposition leader, has called on marchers to focus on demanding that
authorities disarm pro-government "collectives" blamed for attacking
demonstrators.
Maduro, who denies any links to the armed groups, says the protests are part of a "coup d'etat in development" instigated by Washington and conservative ex-Colombian president Alvaro Uribe.The protests began on February 2 in the western city of San Cristobal led by students angry over the soaring crime rate. Protests quickly spread to Caracas and other major cities, and intensified over the past two weeks. Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves, but under Maduro and his predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez the economy has tailspinned, street crime is out of control, and corruption is widespread.Maduro's government warned it would cut off gasoline supplies to restless areas.Capriles, who lost last year's presidential election to Maduro by a razor-thin margin, is again in the limelight following the Tuesday arrest of another opposition leader, 42 year-old Leopoldo Lopez, on charges of instigating violence, property damage and criminal association.- Renewed diplomatic ties? -On Friday, Maduro challenged Obama to meet him for talks. "I call a dialogue with you, President Obama... between the patriotic and revolutionary Venezuela and the United States and its government," he said."Accept the challenge and we will start a high-level dialogue and put the truth on the table," Maduro told a news conference with foreign reporters.Caracas and Washington have not exchanged ambassadors since their respective envoys were withdrawn in 2010. Venezuela has expelled eight US diplomats over the past year, including three on February 16.Oil-rich Venezuela's main customer for its key export is the United States, yet Venezuela's relations with the United States, long strained under Chavez, have worsened under Maduro.Maduro proposed to restore ties to the ambassadorial level and said he had given his foreign minister "special powers" to handle bilateral dialogue.
US Secretary of State John Kerry late Friday chastised Caracas for its crackdown and said nothing about the call for direct talks."The government's use of force and judicial intimidation against citizens and political figures ... is unacceptable and will only increase the likelihood of violence," Kerry said in a statement.
He criticized Venezuela's arrest of protesting students and a key opposition figure, as well as its crackdown on the freedoms of expression and assembly."This is not how democracies behave," Kerry said.In his statement, Kerry urged the government to release jailed opposition members and launch a "genuine" dialogue.Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elias Jaua said during a visit to Nicaragua on Friday that his government was "open to dialogue" with the opposition, but gave no timeline.Obama on Wednesday called on Venezuela's leftist government to address the "legitimate grievances" of its people -- comments that Maduro dismissed as US meddling in Venezuelan affairs.Washington has also expressed concern over the jailing of Leopoldo Lopez, a Harvard-educated economist, and insisted that any charges against him be handled in an "impartial and transparent" manner.- 'We love the American people' -In a move filled with anti-US sentiment, Maduro has threatened to block US broadcaster CNN, accusing the network of inciting "civil war".CNN said several of its journalists working in Venezuela, on both Spanish-language and English-language programs, had seen their press credentials revoked or refused.On Friday Maduro claimed that the US intelligence services "have given a green light for the overthrow" of the Venezuelan government.Yet at the same press conference Maduro called on Obama to appoint a negotiator for bilateral talks."What we want is peace with the United States, respect, cooperation," Maduro said."We love the American people, we admire their culture, their music."

One hog producer in Nova Scotia is going to extraordinary measures to keep his farm free of a deadly pig virus.A
virus known as Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) originated in China and
has been confirmed in Manitoba, Ontario and Prince Edward Island.Porcine epidemic diarrhea poses no risk to people, but it’s having a dramatic effect on the pork industry.The
virus is highly contagious and it has already killed millions of
piglets in the United States. So far, vaccines haven't worked.Terry
Beck, a Nova Scotia farmer, doesn’t want to risk his livestock. Instead
of having trucks go to his farm to pick up hogs to take to slaughter,
Beck drives his hogs a few kilometres down the road to meet the truck.“I've
got gloves here, latex gloves just so I'm not picking anything up from
the truck if I happen to touch it. And I'm trying to avoid that so
that I'm not going to track this back home," he said.Truck driver
Jonathan Huber travelled from Ontario to pick up some of Beck’s hogs.
Ontario has 20 confirmed cases of the virus so he understands why local
producers don't him anywhere near their farms."It's very serious. It's enough to put a lot of farmers out of business if they get it," said Huber."It's
a risk, but you know the trailer is freshly washed and it's got all
fresh new bedding and you know clean coveralls and plastic boots to
prevent the spread as much as we possibly can."The threat is so
serious that Beck and Huber don’t even shake hands during the transfer.
With a little prodding, 15 hogs worth $3,100 to Beck move from one truck
to the other.To date, Nova Scotia is free of PED. Beck's hoping to keep it that way."Even
though we do all these measures there's no guarantee. There just isn't a
guarantee that we have done enough to prevent this from coming here,"
he said.After moving the pigs from Beck’s white truck to the
larger one destined for the slaughterhouse, Beck's truck is now
considered contaminated. The truck will not go near Beck's farm again
for another 36 hours.

He criticized Venezuela's arrest of protesting students and a key opposition figure, as well as its crackdown on the freedoms of expression and assembly."This is not how democracies behave," Kerry said.In his statement, Kerry urged the government to release jailed opposition members and launch a "genuine" dialogue.Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elias Jaua said during a visit to Nicaragua on Friday that his government was "open to dialogue" with the opposition, but gave no timeline.Obama on Wednesday called on Venezuela's leftist government to address the "legitimate grievances" of its people -- comments that Maduro dismissed as US meddling in Venezuelan affairs.Washington has also expressed concern over the jailing of Leopoldo Lopez, a Harvard-educated economist, and insisted that any charges against him be handled in an "impartial and transparent" manner.- 'We love the American people' -In a move filled with anti-US sentiment, Maduro has threatened to block US broadcaster CNN, accusing the network of inciting "civil war".CNN said several of its journalists working in Venezuela, on both Spanish-language and English-language programs, had seen their press credentials revoked or refused.On Friday Maduro claimed that the US intelligence services "have given a green light for the overthrow" of the Venezuelan government.Yet at the same press conference Maduro called on Obama to appoint a negotiator for bilateral talks."What we want is peace with the United States, respect, cooperation," Maduro said."We love the American people, we admire their culture, their music."

GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
