Russian Nuclear Bombers Keep Roaming Closer to U.S. Airspace-The Atlantic Wire-By Polly Mosendz-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
Russian nuclear bombers were spotted flying near Alaska this week. The bombers were escorted by fighter jets, floating just outside of U.S. and Canadian airspace. This is the second such sighting since June, sparking the attention of American military jets. Major Beth Smith, of the U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), has said "Over the past week, NORAD has visually identified Russian aircraft operating in and around the U.S. air defense identification zones." There have been about 16 Russian forays in the Alaskan and north Canadian area in the last 10 days.It is not entirely uncommon to see Russian planes in this airspace, however, the increased number of such planes seems to be triggering some concern amongst the aviation military community, particularly given the increased tension in Ukraine. Smith referred to this number of forays as "a spike in activity."Smith noted that these were training missions, though a spy plane and anti-submarine plane were spotted among the bombers. However, another defense official told the Washington Free Beacon they believe this is more than just a training flight. The official stated "[Russian strategic nuclear forces appear to be] trying to test our air defense reactions, or our command and control systems. These are not just training missions." The Russian military has admitted they have flown in that area. They told ITAR-TASS, "all flights were scheduled in advance and were made in strict compliance with the international rules of using airspace without trespassing the borders of other countries."
Ukraine troops break out of encirclement, 15 troops killed-Reuters-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
KIEV (Reuters) - Ukrainian army units which had been trapped by separatists on the border with Russia broke out of the blockade on Friday and rejoined government forces, but 15 soldiers and border guards were killed in the operation, the Ukrainian military said.Military sources quoted by Ukrainian media said Ukrainian units had been effectively encircled by the rebels on a section of the border with Russia south of the town of Luhansk and east of the main regional city of Donetsk.After government forces opened up an escape corridor, the trapped units were able to force their way out, military sources quoted by the media said."Seven service staff and eight border guards were killed and 79 injured," military spokesman Andriy Lysenko told journalists.Government forces say they are gradually tightening the noose around the heavily armed pro-Russian separatists whom they have been battling since mid-April in a conflict which the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights says has cost the lives of more than 1,100 people in all, including government forces, rebels and civilians.The latest military deaths from the fighting in the Russian-speaking east of Ukraine push the death toll among government forces alone to more than 400.The Kiev government and its Western allies accuse Russia of seeking to destabilize Ukraine and arming the rebels, who have declared independent "people's republics" in the two main industrial regions. Moscow denies involvement.In the biggest Russia-West confrontation since the end of the Cold War, the United States and European Union have imposed sanctions on Russia. Moscow has retaliated with a sweeping ban on imports of many Western foodstuffs.Fighting has intensified since the shooting down of flight MH17 on July 17, killing all 298 passengers and crew, an act which the West laid at the door of the rebels. Russia and the rebels blame the disaster on Kiev's military offensive.An international crew of experts retrieving debris and victims' belongings from the crash site which is spread over a wide area in the conflict zone halted their work on Wednesday because of dangers to their safety from fighting.The Kiev government on Friday announced it would continue to observe a ceasefire in the area, contradicting an earlier announcement on Thursday.(Writing by Richard Balmforth; Editing by Toby Chopra)
Lebanon's Hariri back as army battles Syria jihadists-AFP-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
Beirut (AFP) - Lebanon's leading Sunni politician Saad Hariri returned from self-imposed exile Friday on a trip to bolster the country's army as it battles jihadists in the latest spillover from Syria's war.Hariri's visit, his first since 2011, comes after open conflict between the army and jihadists on the border with Syria killed 17 troops and left 19 kidnapped.The former prime minister arrived after announcing earlier that Saudi Arabia, one of his chief allies, had pledged $1 billion to shore up the army and security forces against jihadists.On Wednesday, a day after announcing the funding, Hariri said he would consult with Lebanon's Prime Minister Tammam Salam and the army and security forces on how they would be disbursed.His arrival underscored the seriousness of the clashes in the Arsal region in eastern Lebanon on the Syrian border. Fighting that began there on Saturday has eased, with a truce meant to lead to the withdrawal of gunmen from several jihadist groups fighting in Syria and the release of 17 policemen and 19 soldiers thought to be held hostage.But the violence is the worst in the border region since the Syrian war began in March 2011, and has raised further concerns about the effects of the conflict on Lebanon.Despite Beirut's effort to insulate itself from the war next door, the fighting has spilled over and stoked existing political and sectarian tensions in Lebanon.
- Army a 'red line' -
Much of Lebanon's Sunni community, including Hariri, supports the Sunni-dominated uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.But many Lebanese Shiites support Assad, and the powerful Shiite Hezbollah movement has sent fighters to bolster his troops against the uprising.Hariri, 44, has voiced unconditional support for Lebanon's army in the fight against jihadists in Arsal, calling it a "red line".But some of his constituents accuse the army of allowing Hezbollah free rein to fight in Syria and failing to protect Sunnis.On Friday, the situation in Arsal was largely quiet, but an AFP video journalist said several hundred residents who tried return to their homes were forced to flee after coming under sniper fire.He said several were wounded and the army closed the route back into the town after the incident.The fighting in Arsal began on Saturday afternoon, when gunmen attacked soldiers after the arrest of a Syrian man accused of belonging to Al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate Al-Nusra Front.At least 17 soldiers have been killed, and 19 remain kidnapped along with 17 policemen.Dozens of militants have been killed, and field hospitals have reported at least 47 deaths, with more than 250 wounded.
- Riyadh pledges $1 billion -
The fighting prompted army chief General Jean Kahwaji to urge France to speed up delivery of weapons being bought under a $3 billion deal financed by Saudi Arabia.And Hariri announced on Wednesday that the kingdom had pledged $1 billion in funds to bolster the Lebanese security forces.On Friday, Hariri said his stay in Lebanon would be "long", and that the visit came "after the Saudi donation, which we must examine how to implement and translate in support of the army".Analysts said he would seek to rally the Sunni community around the army and bolster his standing in Lebanon, which he left in 2011 after his government collapsed when ministers from Hezbollah, his chief political rival, resigned."Hariri's return can be seen as an attempt at unifying the Sunni community both around Lebanese state institutions, particularly the army, as well as around Saudi Arabia, which is now championing itself as a major counter-terrorism force in the region," said Lina Khatib, director of the Carnegie Middle East Centre."Such a rallying of Sunnis would have a stabilising effect on the country and detach the Sunni community from being attracted to the extremism presented by groups" such as the Islamic State, she said.Khatib added that Hariri was also "striving to regain a central political standing in Lebanon as the country looks forward to holding parliamentary and presidential elections".Hariri's father, Lebanon's former prime minister Rafiq Hariri, was assassinated in a 2005 attack that his supporters blame on the Syrian regime and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah.

WHO declares Ebola an international health emergency-Reuters-By Kate Kelland and Clair MacDougall-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
LONDON/MONROVIA (Reuters) - West Africa's Ebola epidemic constitutes an international health emergency and the virus, which has killed nearly 1,000 people, could continue spreading for months, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday."The outbreak is moving faster than we can control it," the WHO's director-general Margaret Chan told reporters on a telephone briefing from the WHO's Geneva headquarters.The U.N. agency's declaration, which follows criticism that it has done too little to fight the disease, is aimed at raising the level of vigilance about the virus which has hit hardest in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.The agency said all states with Ebola transmission should declare a national emergency in the face of an outbreak it deemed "particularly serious" but there should be no general ban on international travel or trade."The declaration ... will galvanize the attention of leaders of all countries at the top level. It cannot be done by the ministries of health alone," Chan said.The WHO has been accused of failing to respond fast enough to the outbreak, which it said on May 18 could be declared over by May 22. It has since become more conservative in its predictions, said head of health security, Keiji Fukuda."At that point we thought that it was likely that it would come under control based on our experience. This outbreak has developed in ways we have not seen before," Fukuda told reporters."The likelihood is that things will get worse before they get better," he said, adding that the WHO is prepared for an outbreak that persists at a high level for months. Medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said the declaration showed WHO's seriousness in tackling the outbreak but added that statements should be translated into action."For weeks, MSF has been repeating that a massive medical, epidemiological and public health response is desperately needed to saves lives," said Bart Janssens, MSF Director of Operations.
RESTRICTIONS CAUSE HARDSHIP
Ebola has no proven cure and there is no vaccine to prevent infection, so the best treatment is focused on alleviating symptoms such as fever, vomiting and diarrhea.Its spread could be stopped with the right steps and measures to deal with infected people, Fukuda said, but it was important that anyone known to have Ebola should be immediately isolated and treated in isolation for 30 days.The European Union said on Friday it is increasing by an additional 8 million euros ($10.7 million) its efforts to contain Ebola and governments in the region have taken increasingly tough measures in a bid to thwart the disease.The army in Sierra Leone on Thursday blockaded rural areas hit by Ebola while neighboring Liberia declared a state of emergency. But some local people said the restrictions, while necessary, risked increasing their economic hardship.In one example, about 30 military officers armed with AK-47s guarded a checkpoint blocking a line of trucks laden with goods from traveling from Montserrado County to the rest of Liberia.One of the drivers, Sackie Sumo, said the closed road prevented him transporting his truckload of logs, which in turn meant he would not be paid."I feel bad. I need to get money to my family," he told Reuters.Market seller Musa Kweh whose shared taxi had been stopped at the same checkpoint, also said she was unsure how she would generate income from her goods now that the market in Monrovia she was heading to was closed.in an attempt to make some money from the potatoes and other goods, she spread them on the ground at the checkpoint to sell to passersby.
FRESH DEATH TOLL
The latest WHO figures on Friday showed the worsening toll. Some 1,779 people have been infected and 961 people have died in the most severe outbreak in the 40 years since it was first identified in humans.This was partly because of weaknesses in the countries affected, where health systems are fragile and lacking in resources. The effort to contain the disease is also undermined by inexperience and misperceptions of the threat, the WHO said.Although most cases of Ebola are in the remote area where Guinea borders Sierra Leone and Liberia, alarm over the spread of the disease increased last month when a U.S. citizen died in Nigeria after traveling there by plane from Liberia.The U.S. State Department has ordered the departure of eligible family members from its embassy in the Liberian capital Monrovia in the light of the disease and said it was acting "out of an abundance of caution".Concerns have spread to other countries. Ugandan health authorities on Friday said an Ebola suspect had tested negative, while a hospital in Benin's capital is treating a Nigerian man suspected of having contracted the disease.After an experimental drug was administered to two U.S. charity workers who were infected in Liberia, Ebola specialists have urged the WHO to offer such drugs to Africans. The U.N. agency has asked medical ethics experts to explore this option next week.

New outcry as Erdogan tells female reporter to 'know your place'-AFP-By Dilay Gundogan-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
Istanbul (AFP) - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan faced a new outcry on Friday over his attitude to the media and women after he branded a prominent female journalist a "shameless woman" and told her "to know your place".Just ahead of Sunday's presidential election which he is clear favourite to win, Erdogan savaged Amberin Zaman, who writes for the Economist and the Turkish daily Taraf, over comments she made in a television debate.She had asked the main opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu in the debate whether any Muslim society was capable of challenging its authorities.Erdogan lashed out at Zaman, without mentioning her directly by name, at an election rally in the eastern city of Malatya on Thursday, calling her a "shameless woman"."A militant in the guise of a journalist, a shameless woman... Know your place!" he declared."They gave you a pen and you are writing a column in a newspaper... and you insult a society that is 99 percent Muslim," he said, drawing loud boos from the crowd.This is not the first time Erdogan has lashed out at journalists, who have come under increasing pressure in Turkey, which has more reporters behind bars than any other country in the world.The government's attitude towards women is also under heavy scrutiny, after Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc caused a furore by suggesting women should not laugh loudly in public.
- 'Her safety threatened' -
The Economist released a statement in response to the salvo, saying "we stand firmly by" its correspondent of 15 years."The intimidation of journalists has no place in a democracy. Under Mr Erdogan, Turkey has become an increasingly difficult place for independent journalism," it said.Zaman responded to Erdogan through her column in the Taraf newspaper, writing: "You are lynching a Muslim woman who described what you are doing. Because women are sitting targets, aren't they?"She said she had been the target of a smear campaign by pro-government media outlets, who had called her a "Jewish bitch" who should become a "concubine" of Islamist jihadists in Iraq.The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) expressed concern over the targeting of the journalist, saying "the widespread smear campaign against Amberin Zaman threatens her safety"."I am alarmed by the latest example of intimidation of and threats towards journalists in Turkey," OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Dunja Mijatovic said in a statement.Known for her bitter remarks about Erdogan, Zaman had been fired from Haberturk daily last year because of articles seen as critical of the government.Meanwhile, the chief editor of the mass-circulation Hurriyet newspaper resigned from his post on Friday, just two days after Erdogan harshly criticised Turkey's largest news company, Dogan Media Group, which includes Hurriyet.During a rally on Friday, Erdogan said both Dogan and Germany's Der Spiegel magazine had given their "full support" to his rival in the election, the main opposition candidate Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu.He had already accused Der Spiegel of seeking to foment chaos in Turkey after it featured an article -- in both German and Turkish -- this week criticising Erdogan for rolling back on democratic reforms.Erdogan, a pious Muslim who has led the Islamic-rooted ruling party since 2002, has come under strong criticism from Western politicians and rights groups for his crackdown on the media.The US-based watchdog Freedom House downgraded the status of Turkey's media from "partly free" to "not free" in May.But Erdogan remains the hot favourite to win Sunday's election and become head of state, with the main question being if he will win outright in the first round.
Damascus facing daily rebel mortar and rocket fire-AFP-By Roueida Mabardi-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
Damascus (AFP) - After a long period of relative calm, Syria's capital is coming under daily mortar and rocket fire from rebels seeking to make the regime ease its attacks on areas they hold near Damascus."It is in response to regime air raids on rebel districts around Damascus," said Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.Rebel bombardments of the city "have caused a total of 21 deaths in recent days", he said.Launched from Eastern Ghouta, a woody region east of Damascus where rebels have held off regime efforts to dislodge them, the mortar fire targets several districts, including upmarket Malki where the presidential place is located."After a long period of calm, mortar fire began on the Saturday after (the Moslem holiday of) Eid," on August 2, said Abu Hisham, owner of a women's clothes shop in Al-Salhiyeh shopping district in the heart of the city."Yesterday and the day before (Tuesday and Wednesday) the noises were new and terrifying. We heard the whistling of the mortar then the explosion."
- Presidential palace -
Rebel chief Abdel Rahman al-Shami said the mortar rounds are in answer to "an escalation of bombardments" by President Bashar al-Assad's forces against opposition strongholds."The rebels are trying to aim at military targets in Damascus," said the Jaysh al-Islam leader, speaking to AFP from Douma, a town northeast of the capital held by the rebels and regularly raided by regime warplanes.Assad's forces have also stepped up bombardments of Kafar, east of Damascus, as well as Mleiha and Douma, he said.Last Sunday, regime warplanes raided Eastern Ghouta, Kafar Batna and Douma, killing at least 64 people at a market, including 11 children, according to the Britain-based Observatory.Jaish al-Islam (Army of Islam) and another rebel group, Ajnad al-Sham (Soldiers of Damascus) have been firing 107 mm and 120 mm mortars into Damascus, Shami said.He said Ajnad al-Sham fighters had been targeting the presidential palace in Malki and military positions."This will carry on as long as bombardments continue" against rebel areas, Shami said.A leader of Ajnad al-Sham said on Facebook that the group would attack "the regime's strongholds in the heart of Damascus every time that surrounded civilians are targeted in Eastern Ghouta".In other comments on all4Syria website, he identified three recent targets: the presidential palace, military and security buildings at Kafar Susah and Al-Mazzeh in the west of the city."We said in a statement that civilians should leave," the Ajnad al-Sham official said.
- Katyusha rockets -
On Tuesday night, at least 16 people including two children, were killed and 79 others wounded in rebel bombardments of several Damascus neighbourhoods, the Observatory said.A resident of Qabun district, near the Jobar front line, said: "Ajnad al-Sham now has Katyusha rockets."The man, who asked not to be named, said that on Tuesday he heard a rocket being launched from Jobar and his friend, speaking on the telephone, heard it fall in Malki.Bombardment of rebel positions around Damascus resumed on Thursday. The rebels replied by firing mortars towards Abbassids Square near Jobar, the rebels and state news agency SANA said.The Observatory estimates more than 170,000 people have died in the Syrian conflict which broke out in March 2011.

Mount Polley mine spill: Minister says residents may get lucky break-CBC – AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
The minister responsible for British Columbia's mines says residents living along waterways affected by a mining-waste spill could catch a lucky break because the waste may not be poisonous.Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett says the Mount Polley tailings pond breach in B.C.'s Cariboo region may not be toxic because the copper and gold mine is not generating acid, which means caustic chemicals are not leached out of the rocks and into the water.Initial test results show water in the surrounding area is of drinking quality, but a water-use ban is still in effect because the nearby Polley Lake has not yet been tested.David Lacroix of the town of Likely, B.C., which is in the spill area, says the findings have made him optimistic, but he wonders why more was not done to prevent the accident.B.C. Premier Christy Clark met with concerned Likely residents on Thursday.The tailings pond of the Mount Polley mine was breached on Monday, sending 5,800 Olympic swimming pools worth of waste water and potentially toxic silt into nearby waterways.The breach released 10 billion litres of water and 4.5 million cubic metres of metals-laden fine sand, contaminating several lakes, creeks and rivers in the Cariboo region.Residents were advised Monday not to bathe in or drink the water because authorities were concerned heavy metals from the mine, owned by Imperial Metals, could be poisonous.B.C.'s Environment Ministry has tested water collected since the day of the devastating spill, from several locations in Quesnel Lake, to determine potential impacts on drinking water quality and aquatic life.An explanatory note, from the ministry's impact assessment head, Gabriele Matscha, that was posted with the results on the ministry's website says that the water remains within drinking-quality guidelines and aquatic life is not expected to be impacted."Samples collected near the town site of Likely and on the north shore of Quesnel Lake indicate that none of the analyzed chemical and physical contaminant concentrations exceeded B.C. or Health Canada drinking water guidelines," Matscha writes.The samples were tested for pH, conductivity, turbidity, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, hardness, alkalinity, total and dissolved metals, and E.coli.Matscha also pointed out that fish tissue samples have not yet been collected, but that is planned in the near future. Water samples have still not been taken from Polley Lake.Residents have been told not to drink, bathe or swim in the water until officials determine what's in it.Interior Health, the regional health authority, said it will keep the ongoing water advisory in place because it believes further testing is needed, since these tests are preliminary and based on a small sample.
Christy Clark: 'Our hearts are with you'
Clark told Likely residents after the accidental release: "Everybody across British Columbia, our hearts are with you. This is a pristine resource for everybody, but for nobody more than you. And I know it's just been a terrible, terrible heartache."Clark said the cause of the breach remained a mystery, but once that had been established, the province would decide what it would do differently."We are going to be with you, shoulder to shoulder, to do everything we can to return it to the real pristine beauty we all know this lake is for our province, because this is just such an incredible, incredible asset and so important to all of you."'Deeply troubling environmental crisis'The spill happened in First Nations Secwepemc Territory, whose leaders have called upon Imperial Metals to shut down business within the Secwepemc Nation and called for a moratorium on mining within their territory.The Assembly of First Nations has called for immediate action to limit damage by what they called a "developing and deeply troubling environmental crisis.""There are immediate risks to the residents, the environment and the economy — particularly the fisheries," said AFN B.C. Regional Chief Jody Wilson-Raybould in a press release."This area is upstream from the Fraser River and is a major spawning ground for salmon, both of which are integral to Indigenous peoples culture and way of life."Association of First Nations Alberta Regional Chief Cameron Alexis, who oversees the environment portfolio for the AFN, said First Nations communities are often the first to feel the impact of environmental changes. "First Nations and many Canadians continue to be concerned about the weakening of environmental standards and protection of waterways and fish habitats as a result of recent changes to legislation," said Alexis in the same statement. "We must focus on the need to include First Nations in early planning and mitigation as well as monitoring the long-term effects where our lands and traditional territories are concerned. This is our right and this approach will benefit all Canadians." The Secwepemc Women Warrior Society, representing the women of the First Nation, announced Thursday it intended to stage a protest outside the Toronto Stock Exchange to voice opposition to the company."I am torn about the Imperial Metals tailings spill that has wreaked havoc on my homelands, since my family and [Aboriginal] Peoples have been fighting this same mine for years," said the society's Kanahus Manuel in a press release."We will send our war cries into the universe. Let's force the Toronto Stock Exchange to pull Imperial Metals off the TSX."

Eye of Tropical Storm Iselle makes landfall on Hawaii: NOAA-Reuters-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS

Center of Iselle lashes Hawaii's Big Island with wind, rain-Reuters-By Malia Mattoch McManus-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
HONOLULU (Reuters) - The center of Tropical Storm Iselle made landfall on Hawaii's Big Island on Friday with strong winds and heavy rain, knocking down trees and causing power outages ahead of a more powerful storm gathering steam behind it.While Iselle has weakened to a tropical storm, according to the U.S. Central Pacific Hurricane Center, it is being closely followed by Julio, a Category 3 hurricane set to reach Hawaii on Monday.More than 1,200 people flocked to evacuation shelters across the Big Island, according to County of Hawaii Civil Defense, as heavy rains and strong winds pummeled areas of East Hawaii from the Puna area to the town of Hilo.Hawaii Electric Light Company had about 5,000 customers without power, mostly in East Hawaii, a Hawaii County official said.Iselle weakened from a hurricane to a tropical storm while its eye was still about 50 miles (80 km) south of Hilo, on the Big island, packing maximum sustained winds near 70 miles per hour (110 kph), with higher gusts.The storm was expected to bring waves of up to 25 feet (8 meters) on southeast-facing shores on the Big Island before passing south of the state's smaller islands later on day.Farther east, Hurricane Julio had gained momentum and was expected to pass just north of Hawaii by late Monday.That hurricane was upgraded late on Thursday to a Category 3 storm, with maximum sustained winds increasing to near 120 mph (195 kph), the National Hurricane Center said. It was moving west-northwest at 16 mph (26 kph) and was expected to weaken through Saturday.In anticipation of the rare back-to-back storms, Hawaii residents scrambled to stock up on supplies as state officials warned of the potential for flash floods, mudslides and power outages in the normally calm tourist haven.Governor Neil Abercrombie signed an emergency proclamation freeing up funds and resources and authorities advised residents to prepare seven-day disaster supply kits and cautioned them against driving except in an emergency.Hawaii's schools will be closed on Friday. Authorities planned to keep airports open so planes could land in an emergency although some airlines had canceled flights, officials said. Several shopping malls on Oahu will also be closed.Power was out at the Olinda Water Treatment plant in a rural area of Maui, and officials told some 700 water customers to conserve water, County of Maui spokesman Rod Antone said.Emergency officials also told residents in the area of the Puna Geothermal Venture plant in Pohoiki to stay indoors or evacuate to safe zones after a spill of poisonous hydrogen sulfide. It was not immediately clear how serious the spill was.Even before the center of the storm struck the Big Island, a downpour soaked residents on Thursday. At the Sunshine True Value Hardware store in Kapaau, shelves were picked clean of batteries, flashlights, duct tape and plywood. Sales clerk Caryl Lindamood tried to stay cheerful.
"Mother Nature sure does like to stir things up for us, doesn't she?" she said on Thursday, joking about both the storms and a small 4.5 magnitude earthquake that struck the Big Island 12 miles (19 km) west of Waimea on Thursday morning.Robert Trickey, 56, an interior decorator, said he was worried about plate-glass windows that act as walls at his house near Pahoa on the Big Island. Kailua-Kona resident Lisa Hummel, 44, said her family was filling water containers and stocking up on batteries, candles and flashlights, and planned to shelter in their basement when the hurricane arrives."We'll probably make a pot of chili and ride it out," she said.(Additional reporting by Ken Wills and Karin Stanton on the Kohala coast of the Big Island, and Gunna Dickson in New York; Writing by Eric M.

Renewed floods renew Bosnia's troubles-Associated Press-By AMER COHADZIC-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
ZELJEZNO POLJE, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — A Bosnian man whose home was swept away by flooding has seen his attempts at rebuilding fall prey to a new round of floods.Torrents in May swept away Besim Tutnjic's house in the village of Zeljezno Polje. He bought himself a tent to live in while he rebuilt his home on the same foundations. When a smaller flood destroyed his tent in July, he bought another one.Then on Wednesday the water came back again, and swept the new construction some 700 meters (yards) down the slope "as if it was floating on an airbed," he said. The second tent was also washed away."Now I only have an umbrella," said Tutnjic, one of around 300 villagers who are holding protests on the main road through central Bosnia to draw the government's attention to their problem.The May floods affected 40 percent of Bosnia, wrecking the main agricultural industry, wiping out infrastructure and forcing almost a quarter of the population of 4 million to leave their homes. More than 2,000 landslides destroyed entire villages like Zeljezno Polje.International donors pledged 809 million euros ($1.08 billion) to help Bosnia recover from floods but spending this money requires planning and preparations — a process too slow for the flood victims of Zeljezno Polje, who now fear they will not have a roof over their heads this winter.

Russian Nuclear Bombers Keep Roaming Closer to U.S. Airspace-The Atlantic Wire-By Polly Mosendz-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
Russian nuclear bombers were spotted flying near Alaska this week. The bombers were escorted by fighter jets, floating just outside of U.S. and Canadian airspace. This is the second such sighting since June, sparking the attention of American military jets. Major Beth Smith, of the U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), has said "Over the past week, NORAD has visually identified Russian aircraft operating in and around the U.S. air defense identification zones." There have been about 16 Russian forays in the Alaskan and north Canadian area in the last 10 days.It is not entirely uncommon to see Russian planes in this airspace, however, the increased number of such planes seems to be triggering some concern amongst the aviation military community, particularly given the increased tension in Ukraine. Smith referred to this number of forays as "a spike in activity."Smith noted that these were training missions, though a spy plane and anti-submarine plane were spotted among the bombers. However, another defense official told the Washington Free Beacon they believe this is more than just a training flight. The official stated "[Russian strategic nuclear forces appear to be] trying to test our air defense reactions, or our command and control systems. These are not just training missions." The Russian military has admitted they have flown in that area. They told ITAR-TASS, "all flights were scheduled in advance and were made in strict compliance with the international rules of using airspace without trespassing the borders of other countries."
Ukraine troops break out of encirclement, 15 troops killed-Reuters-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
KIEV (Reuters) - Ukrainian army units which had been trapped by separatists on the border with Russia broke out of the blockade on Friday and rejoined government forces, but 15 soldiers and border guards were killed in the operation, the Ukrainian military said.Military sources quoted by Ukrainian media said Ukrainian units had been effectively encircled by the rebels on a section of the border with Russia south of the town of Luhansk and east of the main regional city of Donetsk.After government forces opened up an escape corridor, the trapped units were able to force their way out, military sources quoted by the media said."Seven service staff and eight border guards were killed and 79 injured," military spokesman Andriy Lysenko told journalists.Government forces say they are gradually tightening the noose around the heavily armed pro-Russian separatists whom they have been battling since mid-April in a conflict which the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights says has cost the lives of more than 1,100 people in all, including government forces, rebels and civilians.The latest military deaths from the fighting in the Russian-speaking east of Ukraine push the death toll among government forces alone to more than 400.The Kiev government and its Western allies accuse Russia of seeking to destabilize Ukraine and arming the rebels, who have declared independent "people's republics" in the two main industrial regions. Moscow denies involvement.In the biggest Russia-West confrontation since the end of the Cold War, the United States and European Union have imposed sanctions on Russia. Moscow has retaliated with a sweeping ban on imports of many Western foodstuffs.Fighting has intensified since the shooting down of flight MH17 on July 17, killing all 298 passengers and crew, an act which the West laid at the door of the rebels. Russia and the rebels blame the disaster on Kiev's military offensive.An international crew of experts retrieving debris and victims' belongings from the crash site which is spread over a wide area in the conflict zone halted their work on Wednesday because of dangers to their safety from fighting.The Kiev government on Friday announced it would continue to observe a ceasefire in the area, contradicting an earlier announcement on Thursday.(Writing by Richard Balmforth; Editing by Toby Chopra)
Lebanon's Hariri back as army battles Syria jihadists-AFP-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
Beirut (AFP) - Lebanon's leading Sunni politician Saad Hariri returned from self-imposed exile Friday on a trip to bolster the country's army as it battles jihadists in the latest spillover from Syria's war.Hariri's visit, his first since 2011, comes after open conflict between the army and jihadists on the border with Syria killed 17 troops and left 19 kidnapped.The former prime minister arrived after announcing earlier that Saudi Arabia, one of his chief allies, had pledged $1 billion to shore up the army and security forces against jihadists.On Wednesday, a day after announcing the funding, Hariri said he would consult with Lebanon's Prime Minister Tammam Salam and the army and security forces on how they would be disbursed.His arrival underscored the seriousness of the clashes in the Arsal region in eastern Lebanon on the Syrian border. Fighting that began there on Saturday has eased, with a truce meant to lead to the withdrawal of gunmen from several jihadist groups fighting in Syria and the release of 17 policemen and 19 soldiers thought to be held hostage.But the violence is the worst in the border region since the Syrian war began in March 2011, and has raised further concerns about the effects of the conflict on Lebanon.Despite Beirut's effort to insulate itself from the war next door, the fighting has spilled over and stoked existing political and sectarian tensions in Lebanon.
- Army a 'red line' -
Much of Lebanon's Sunni community, including Hariri, supports the Sunni-dominated uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.But many Lebanese Shiites support Assad, and the powerful Shiite Hezbollah movement has sent fighters to bolster his troops against the uprising.Hariri, 44, has voiced unconditional support for Lebanon's army in the fight against jihadists in Arsal, calling it a "red line".But some of his constituents accuse the army of allowing Hezbollah free rein to fight in Syria and failing to protect Sunnis.On Friday, the situation in Arsal was largely quiet, but an AFP video journalist said several hundred residents who tried return to their homes were forced to flee after coming under sniper fire.He said several were wounded and the army closed the route back into the town after the incident.The fighting in Arsal began on Saturday afternoon, when gunmen attacked soldiers after the arrest of a Syrian man accused of belonging to Al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate Al-Nusra Front.At least 17 soldiers have been killed, and 19 remain kidnapped along with 17 policemen.Dozens of militants have been killed, and field hospitals have reported at least 47 deaths, with more than 250 wounded.
- Riyadh pledges $1 billion -
The fighting prompted army chief General Jean Kahwaji to urge France to speed up delivery of weapons being bought under a $3 billion deal financed by Saudi Arabia.And Hariri announced on Wednesday that the kingdom had pledged $1 billion in funds to bolster the Lebanese security forces.On Friday, Hariri said his stay in Lebanon would be "long", and that the visit came "after the Saudi donation, which we must examine how to implement and translate in support of the army".Analysts said he would seek to rally the Sunni community around the army and bolster his standing in Lebanon, which he left in 2011 after his government collapsed when ministers from Hezbollah, his chief political rival, resigned."Hariri's return can be seen as an attempt at unifying the Sunni community both around Lebanese state institutions, particularly the army, as well as around Saudi Arabia, which is now championing itself as a major counter-terrorism force in the region," said Lina Khatib, director of the Carnegie Middle East Centre."Such a rallying of Sunnis would have a stabilising effect on the country and detach the Sunni community from being attracted to the extremism presented by groups" such as the Islamic State, she said.Khatib added that Hariri was also "striving to regain a central political standing in Lebanon as the country looks forward to holding parliamentary and presidential elections".Hariri's father, Lebanon's former prime minister Rafiq Hariri, was assassinated in a 2005 attack that his supporters blame on the Syrian regime and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah.

WHO declares Ebola an international health emergency-Reuters-By Kate Kelland and Clair MacDougall-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
LONDON/MONROVIA (Reuters) - West Africa's Ebola epidemic constitutes an international health emergency and the virus, which has killed nearly 1,000 people, could continue spreading for months, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday."The outbreak is moving faster than we can control it," the WHO's director-general Margaret Chan told reporters on a telephone briefing from the WHO's Geneva headquarters.The U.N. agency's declaration, which follows criticism that it has done too little to fight the disease, is aimed at raising the level of vigilance about the virus which has hit hardest in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.The agency said all states with Ebola transmission should declare a national emergency in the face of an outbreak it deemed "particularly serious" but there should be no general ban on international travel or trade."The declaration ... will galvanize the attention of leaders of all countries at the top level. It cannot be done by the ministries of health alone," Chan said.The WHO has been accused of failing to respond fast enough to the outbreak, which it said on May 18 could be declared over by May 22. It has since become more conservative in its predictions, said head of health security, Keiji Fukuda."At that point we thought that it was likely that it would come under control based on our experience. This outbreak has developed in ways we have not seen before," Fukuda told reporters."The likelihood is that things will get worse before they get better," he said, adding that the WHO is prepared for an outbreak that persists at a high level for months. Medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said the declaration showed WHO's seriousness in tackling the outbreak but added that statements should be translated into action."For weeks, MSF has been repeating that a massive medical, epidemiological and public health response is desperately needed to saves lives," said Bart Janssens, MSF Director of Operations.
RESTRICTIONS CAUSE HARDSHIP
Ebola has no proven cure and there is no vaccine to prevent infection, so the best treatment is focused on alleviating symptoms such as fever, vomiting and diarrhea.Its spread could be stopped with the right steps and measures to deal with infected people, Fukuda said, but it was important that anyone known to have Ebola should be immediately isolated and treated in isolation for 30 days.The European Union said on Friday it is increasing by an additional 8 million euros ($10.7 million) its efforts to contain Ebola and governments in the region have taken increasingly tough measures in a bid to thwart the disease.The army in Sierra Leone on Thursday blockaded rural areas hit by Ebola while neighboring Liberia declared a state of emergency. But some local people said the restrictions, while necessary, risked increasing their economic hardship.In one example, about 30 military officers armed with AK-47s guarded a checkpoint blocking a line of trucks laden with goods from traveling from Montserrado County to the rest of Liberia.One of the drivers, Sackie Sumo, said the closed road prevented him transporting his truckload of logs, which in turn meant he would not be paid."I feel bad. I need to get money to my family," he told Reuters.Market seller Musa Kweh whose shared taxi had been stopped at the same checkpoint, also said she was unsure how she would generate income from her goods now that the market in Monrovia she was heading to was closed.in an attempt to make some money from the potatoes and other goods, she spread them on the ground at the checkpoint to sell to passersby.
FRESH DEATH TOLL
The latest WHO figures on Friday showed the worsening toll. Some 1,779 people have been infected and 961 people have died in the most severe outbreak in the 40 years since it was first identified in humans.This was partly because of weaknesses in the countries affected, where health systems are fragile and lacking in resources. The effort to contain the disease is also undermined by inexperience and misperceptions of the threat, the WHO said.Although most cases of Ebola are in the remote area where Guinea borders Sierra Leone and Liberia, alarm over the spread of the disease increased last month when a U.S. citizen died in Nigeria after traveling there by plane from Liberia.The U.S. State Department has ordered the departure of eligible family members from its embassy in the Liberian capital Monrovia in the light of the disease and said it was acting "out of an abundance of caution".Concerns have spread to other countries. Ugandan health authorities on Friday said an Ebola suspect had tested negative, while a hospital in Benin's capital is treating a Nigerian man suspected of having contracted the disease.After an experimental drug was administered to two U.S. charity workers who were infected in Liberia, Ebola specialists have urged the WHO to offer such drugs to Africans. The U.N. agency has asked medical ethics experts to explore this option next week.

New outcry as Erdogan tells female reporter to 'know your place'-AFP-By Dilay Gundogan-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
Istanbul (AFP) - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan faced a new outcry on Friday over his attitude to the media and women after he branded a prominent female journalist a "shameless woman" and told her "to know your place".Just ahead of Sunday's presidential election which he is clear favourite to win, Erdogan savaged Amberin Zaman, who writes for the Economist and the Turkish daily Taraf, over comments she made in a television debate.She had asked the main opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu in the debate whether any Muslim society was capable of challenging its authorities.Erdogan lashed out at Zaman, without mentioning her directly by name, at an election rally in the eastern city of Malatya on Thursday, calling her a "shameless woman"."A militant in the guise of a journalist, a shameless woman... Know your place!" he declared."They gave you a pen and you are writing a column in a newspaper... and you insult a society that is 99 percent Muslim," he said, drawing loud boos from the crowd.This is not the first time Erdogan has lashed out at journalists, who have come under increasing pressure in Turkey, which has more reporters behind bars than any other country in the world.The government's attitude towards women is also under heavy scrutiny, after Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc caused a furore by suggesting women should not laugh loudly in public.
- 'Her safety threatened' -
The Economist released a statement in response to the salvo, saying "we stand firmly by" its correspondent of 15 years."The intimidation of journalists has no place in a democracy. Under Mr Erdogan, Turkey has become an increasingly difficult place for independent journalism," it said.Zaman responded to Erdogan through her column in the Taraf newspaper, writing: "You are lynching a Muslim woman who described what you are doing. Because women are sitting targets, aren't they?"She said she had been the target of a smear campaign by pro-government media outlets, who had called her a "Jewish bitch" who should become a "concubine" of Islamist jihadists in Iraq.The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) expressed concern over the targeting of the journalist, saying "the widespread smear campaign against Amberin Zaman threatens her safety"."I am alarmed by the latest example of intimidation of and threats towards journalists in Turkey," OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Dunja Mijatovic said in a statement.Known for her bitter remarks about Erdogan, Zaman had been fired from Haberturk daily last year because of articles seen as critical of the government.Meanwhile, the chief editor of the mass-circulation Hurriyet newspaper resigned from his post on Friday, just two days after Erdogan harshly criticised Turkey's largest news company, Dogan Media Group, which includes Hurriyet.During a rally on Friday, Erdogan said both Dogan and Germany's Der Spiegel magazine had given their "full support" to his rival in the election, the main opposition candidate Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu.He had already accused Der Spiegel of seeking to foment chaos in Turkey after it featured an article -- in both German and Turkish -- this week criticising Erdogan for rolling back on democratic reforms.Erdogan, a pious Muslim who has led the Islamic-rooted ruling party since 2002, has come under strong criticism from Western politicians and rights groups for his crackdown on the media.The US-based watchdog Freedom House downgraded the status of Turkey's media from "partly free" to "not free" in May.But Erdogan remains the hot favourite to win Sunday's election and become head of state, with the main question being if he will win outright in the first round.
Damascus facing daily rebel mortar and rocket fire-AFP-By Roueida Mabardi-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
Damascus (AFP) - After a long period of relative calm, Syria's capital is coming under daily mortar and rocket fire from rebels seeking to make the regime ease its attacks on areas they hold near Damascus."It is in response to regime air raids on rebel districts around Damascus," said Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.Rebel bombardments of the city "have caused a total of 21 deaths in recent days", he said.Launched from Eastern Ghouta, a woody region east of Damascus where rebels have held off regime efforts to dislodge them, the mortar fire targets several districts, including upmarket Malki where the presidential place is located."After a long period of calm, mortar fire began on the Saturday after (the Moslem holiday of) Eid," on August 2, said Abu Hisham, owner of a women's clothes shop in Al-Salhiyeh shopping district in the heart of the city."Yesterday and the day before (Tuesday and Wednesday) the noises were new and terrifying. We heard the whistling of the mortar then the explosion."
- Presidential palace -
Rebel chief Abdel Rahman al-Shami said the mortar rounds are in answer to "an escalation of bombardments" by President Bashar al-Assad's forces against opposition strongholds."The rebels are trying to aim at military targets in Damascus," said the Jaysh al-Islam leader, speaking to AFP from Douma, a town northeast of the capital held by the rebels and regularly raided by regime warplanes.Assad's forces have also stepped up bombardments of Kafar, east of Damascus, as well as Mleiha and Douma, he said.Last Sunday, regime warplanes raided Eastern Ghouta, Kafar Batna and Douma, killing at least 64 people at a market, including 11 children, according to the Britain-based Observatory.Jaish al-Islam (Army of Islam) and another rebel group, Ajnad al-Sham (Soldiers of Damascus) have been firing 107 mm and 120 mm mortars into Damascus, Shami said.He said Ajnad al-Sham fighters had been targeting the presidential palace in Malki and military positions."This will carry on as long as bombardments continue" against rebel areas, Shami said.A leader of Ajnad al-Sham said on Facebook that the group would attack "the regime's strongholds in the heart of Damascus every time that surrounded civilians are targeted in Eastern Ghouta".In other comments on all4Syria website, he identified three recent targets: the presidential palace, military and security buildings at Kafar Susah and Al-Mazzeh in the west of the city."We said in a statement that civilians should leave," the Ajnad al-Sham official said.
- Katyusha rockets -
On Tuesday night, at least 16 people including two children, were killed and 79 others wounded in rebel bombardments of several Damascus neighbourhoods, the Observatory said.A resident of Qabun district, near the Jobar front line, said: "Ajnad al-Sham now has Katyusha rockets."The man, who asked not to be named, said that on Tuesday he heard a rocket being launched from Jobar and his friend, speaking on the telephone, heard it fall in Malki.Bombardment of rebel positions around Damascus resumed on Thursday. The rebels replied by firing mortars towards Abbassids Square near Jobar, the rebels and state news agency SANA said.The Observatory estimates more than 170,000 people have died in the Syrian conflict which broke out in March 2011.

HOSEA 4:1-3
1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land,(EARTH) because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
ZEPHANIAH 1:2-3
2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.
EZEKIEL 32:6-9
6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.

9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood:(bitter,Poisoned) and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.(poisoned)

5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

Mount Polley mine spill: Minister says residents may get lucky break-CBC – AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
The minister responsible for British Columbia's mines says residents living along waterways affected by a mining-waste spill could catch a lucky break because the waste may not be poisonous.Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett says the Mount Polley tailings pond breach in B.C.'s Cariboo region may not be toxic because the copper and gold mine is not generating acid, which means caustic chemicals are not leached out of the rocks and into the water.Initial test results show water in the surrounding area is of drinking quality, but a water-use ban is still in effect because the nearby Polley Lake has not yet been tested.David Lacroix of the town of Likely, B.C., which is in the spill area, says the findings have made him optimistic, but he wonders why more was not done to prevent the accident.B.C. Premier Christy Clark met with concerned Likely residents on Thursday.The tailings pond of the Mount Polley mine was breached on Monday, sending 5,800 Olympic swimming pools worth of waste water and potentially toxic silt into nearby waterways.The breach released 10 billion litres of water and 4.5 million cubic metres of metals-laden fine sand, contaminating several lakes, creeks and rivers in the Cariboo region.Residents were advised Monday not to bathe in or drink the water because authorities were concerned heavy metals from the mine, owned by Imperial Metals, could be poisonous.B.C.'s Environment Ministry has tested water collected since the day of the devastating spill, from several locations in Quesnel Lake, to determine potential impacts on drinking water quality and aquatic life.An explanatory note, from the ministry's impact assessment head, Gabriele Matscha, that was posted with the results on the ministry's website says that the water remains within drinking-quality guidelines and aquatic life is not expected to be impacted."Samples collected near the town site of Likely and on the north shore of Quesnel Lake indicate that none of the analyzed chemical and physical contaminant concentrations exceeded B.C. or Health Canada drinking water guidelines," Matscha writes.The samples were tested for pH, conductivity, turbidity, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, hardness, alkalinity, total and dissolved metals, and E.coli.Matscha also pointed out that fish tissue samples have not yet been collected, but that is planned in the near future. Water samples have still not been taken from Polley Lake.Residents have been told not to drink, bathe or swim in the water until officials determine what's in it.Interior Health, the regional health authority, said it will keep the ongoing water advisory in place because it believes further testing is needed, since these tests are preliminary and based on a small sample.
Christy Clark: 'Our hearts are with you'
Clark told Likely residents after the accidental release: "Everybody across British Columbia, our hearts are with you. This is a pristine resource for everybody, but for nobody more than you. And I know it's just been a terrible, terrible heartache."Clark said the cause of the breach remained a mystery, but once that had been established, the province would decide what it would do differently."We are going to be with you, shoulder to shoulder, to do everything we can to return it to the real pristine beauty we all know this lake is for our province, because this is just such an incredible, incredible asset and so important to all of you."'Deeply troubling environmental crisis'The spill happened in First Nations Secwepemc Territory, whose leaders have called upon Imperial Metals to shut down business within the Secwepemc Nation and called for a moratorium on mining within their territory.The Assembly of First Nations has called for immediate action to limit damage by what they called a "developing and deeply troubling environmental crisis.""There are immediate risks to the residents, the environment and the economy — particularly the fisheries," said AFN B.C. Regional Chief Jody Wilson-Raybould in a press release."This area is upstream from the Fraser River and is a major spawning ground for salmon, both of which are integral to Indigenous peoples culture and way of life."Association of First Nations Alberta Regional Chief Cameron Alexis, who oversees the environment portfolio for the AFN, said First Nations communities are often the first to feel the impact of environmental changes. "First Nations and many Canadians continue to be concerned about the weakening of environmental standards and protection of waterways and fish habitats as a result of recent changes to legislation," said Alexis in the same statement. "We must focus on the need to include First Nations in early planning and mitigation as well as monitoring the long-term effects where our lands and traditional territories are concerned. This is our right and this approach will benefit all Canadians." The Secwepemc Women Warrior Society, representing the women of the First Nation, announced Thursday it intended to stage a protest outside the Toronto Stock Exchange to voice opposition to the company."I am torn about the Imperial Metals tailings spill that has wreaked havoc on my homelands, since my family and [Aboriginal] Peoples have been fighting this same mine for years," said the society's Kanahus Manuel in a press release."We will send our war cries into the universe. Let's force the Toronto Stock Exchange to pull Imperial Metals off the TSX."

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.

Eye of Tropical Storm Iselle makes landfall on Hawaii: NOAA-Reuters-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS

Center of Iselle lashes Hawaii's Big Island with wind, rain-Reuters-By Malia Mattoch McManus-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
HONOLULU (Reuters) - The center of Tropical Storm Iselle made landfall on Hawaii's Big Island on Friday with strong winds and heavy rain, knocking down trees and causing power outages ahead of a more powerful storm gathering steam behind it.While Iselle has weakened to a tropical storm, according to the U.S. Central Pacific Hurricane Center, it is being closely followed by Julio, a Category 3 hurricane set to reach Hawaii on Monday.More than 1,200 people flocked to evacuation shelters across the Big Island, according to County of Hawaii Civil Defense, as heavy rains and strong winds pummeled areas of East Hawaii from the Puna area to the town of Hilo.Hawaii Electric Light Company had about 5,000 customers without power, mostly in East Hawaii, a Hawaii County official said.Iselle weakened from a hurricane to a tropical storm while its eye was still about 50 miles (80 km) south of Hilo, on the Big island, packing maximum sustained winds near 70 miles per hour (110 kph), with higher gusts.The storm was expected to bring waves of up to 25 feet (8 meters) on southeast-facing shores on the Big Island before passing south of the state's smaller islands later on day.Farther east, Hurricane Julio had gained momentum and was expected to pass just north of Hawaii by late Monday.That hurricane was upgraded late on Thursday to a Category 3 storm, with maximum sustained winds increasing to near 120 mph (195 kph), the National Hurricane Center said. It was moving west-northwest at 16 mph (26 kph) and was expected to weaken through Saturday.In anticipation of the rare back-to-back storms, Hawaii residents scrambled to stock up on supplies as state officials warned of the potential for flash floods, mudslides and power outages in the normally calm tourist haven.Governor Neil Abercrombie signed an emergency proclamation freeing up funds and resources and authorities advised residents to prepare seven-day disaster supply kits and cautioned them against driving except in an emergency.Hawaii's schools will be closed on Friday. Authorities planned to keep airports open so planes could land in an emergency although some airlines had canceled flights, officials said. Several shopping malls on Oahu will also be closed.Power was out at the Olinda Water Treatment plant in a rural area of Maui, and officials told some 700 water customers to conserve water, County of Maui spokesman Rod Antone said.Emergency officials also told residents in the area of the Puna Geothermal Venture plant in Pohoiki to stay indoors or evacuate to safe zones after a spill of poisonous hydrogen sulfide. It was not immediately clear how serious the spill was.Even before the center of the storm struck the Big Island, a downpour soaked residents on Thursday. At the Sunshine True Value Hardware store in Kapaau, shelves were picked clean of batteries, flashlights, duct tape and plywood. Sales clerk Caryl Lindamood tried to stay cheerful.
"Mother Nature sure does like to stir things up for us, doesn't she?" she said on Thursday, joking about both the storms and a small 4.5 magnitude earthquake that struck the Big Island 12 miles (19 km) west of Waimea on Thursday morning.Robert Trickey, 56, an interior decorator, said he was worried about plate-glass windows that act as walls at his house near Pahoa on the Big Island. Kailua-Kona resident Lisa Hummel, 44, said her family was filling water containers and stocking up on batteries, candles and flashlights, and planned to shelter in their basement when the hurricane arrives."We'll probably make a pot of chili and ride it out," she said.(Additional reporting by Ken Wills and Karin Stanton on the Kohala coast of the Big Island, and Gunna Dickson in New York; Writing by Eric M.

Renewed floods renew Bosnia's troubles-Associated Press-By AMER COHADZIC-AUG 8,14-YAHOONEWS
ZELJEZNO POLJE, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — A Bosnian man whose home was swept away by flooding has seen his attempts at rebuilding fall prey to a new round of floods.Torrents in May swept away Besim Tutnjic's house in the village of Zeljezno Polje. He bought himself a tent to live in while he rebuilt his home on the same foundations. When a smaller flood destroyed his tent in July, he bought another one.Then on Wednesday the water came back again, and swept the new construction some 700 meters (yards) down the slope "as if it was floating on an airbed," he said. The second tent was also washed away."Now I only have an umbrella," said Tutnjic, one of around 300 villagers who are holding protests on the main road through central Bosnia to draw the government's attention to their problem.The May floods affected 40 percent of Bosnia, wrecking the main agricultural industry, wiping out infrastructure and forcing almost a quarter of the population of 4 million to leave their homes. More than 2,000 landslides destroyed entire villages like Zeljezno Polje.International donors pledged 809 million euros ($1.08 billion) to help Bosnia recover from floods but spending this money requires planning and preparations — a process too slow for the flood victims of Zeljezno Polje, who now fear they will not have a roof over their heads this winter.
