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.

A weakened Nate brings flooding, power outages to Gulf Coast-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
BILOXI, Miss. — Hurricane Nate brought a burst of flooding and power outages to the U.S. Gulf Coast before weakening rapidly Sunday, sparing the region the kind of catastrophic damage left by a series of hurricanes that hit the southern U.S. and Caribbean in recent weeks.Nate — the first hurricane to make landfall in Mississippi since Katrina in 2005 — quickly lost strength, with its winds diminishing to a tropical depression as it pushed northward into Alabama and toward Georgia with heavy rain. It was a Category 1 hurricane when it came ashore outside Biloxi early Sunday, its second landfall after initially hitting southeastern Louisiana on Saturday evening.The storm surge from the Mississippi Sound littered Biloxi's main beachfront highway with debris and flooded a casino's lobby and parking structure overnight.By dawn, however, Nate's receding floodwaters didn't reveal any obvious signs of widespread damage in the city where Hurricane Katrina had levelled thousands of beachfront homes and businesses.No storm-related deaths or injuries were immediately reported.Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant praised state and local officials and coastal residents for working together to avoid loss of life.Lee Smithson, director of the state emergency management agency, said damage from Nate was held down in part because of work done and lessons learned from Katrina."If that same storm would have hit us 15 years ago, the damage would have been extensive and we would have had loss of life." Smithson said of Nate. "But we have rebuilt the coast in the aftermath of Katrina higher and stronger."Nate knocked out power to more than 100,000 residents in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Florida, but crews worked on repairs and it appeared many of the outages had been restored within 24 hours.As of Sunday evening, Alabama Power said it had electricity back to more than 64,000 customers and some 36,000 remained without power, while utilities and co-operatives in Mississippi said it had restored power to more than 21,000 customers. In Louisiana, there were scattered outages during the storm, while Florida Gov. Rick Scott said 6,800 customers had lost power in his state.Mississippi's Gulf Coast casinos got approval to reopen in midmorning after closing Saturday as the storm approached.Sean Stewart, checking on his father's sailboat at a Biloxi marina after daybreak, found another boat had sunk, its sail still fluttering in Nate's diminishing winds. Stewart was relieved to find his father's craft intact."I got lucky on this one," he said.Before Nate sped past Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula late Friday and entered the Gulf of Mexico, it drenched Central America with rains that left at least 22 people dead. But Nate didn't approach the intensity of Harvey, Irma and Maria — powerful storms that left behind massive destruction during 2017's exceptionally busy hurricane season."We are thankful because this looked like it was going to be a freight train barrelling through the city," said Vincent Creel, a spokesman for the city of Biloxi.The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said the four hurricanes that have struck the U.S. and its territories this year have "strained" resources, with roughly 85 per cent of the agency's forces deployed."We're still working massive issues in Harvey, Irma, as well as the issues in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and now this one," FEMA Administrator Brock Long told ABC's "This Week."The federal government declared emergencies in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.Nate initially made landfall Saturday evening in Louisiana, but fears that it would overwhelm the fragile pumping system in New Orleans proved to be unfounded. The storm passed to the east of New Orleans, and Mayor Mitch Landrieu lifted a curfew on the city known for its all-night partying."Hurricane Nate had the potential to wreak havoc on Louisiana, but thankfully, we were largely spared major damage," Gov. John Bel Edwards said in a statement.In Alabama, Dauphin Island Mayor Jeff Collier said he woke up around 3 a.m. Sunday to discover knee-deep water in his yard. Although some homes and cars on the island had flooded, Collier said he hadn't heard of anyone needing rescue."We didn't think it would be quite that bad," he said. "It kind of snuck up on us in the wee hours of the morning."At landfall in Mississippi, the fast-moving storm had maximum sustained winds near 85 mph (140 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Nate steadily weakened after its first landfall in a sparsely populated area of Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.At 5 p.m. EDT, the centre of Nate was about 75 miles (120 kilometres ) south of Nashville, Tennessee. Nate was expected to bring 3 to 6 inches of rain to the Deep South, eastern Tennessee Valley and southern Appalachians through Monday. The Ohio Valley, central Appalachians and Northeast could also get heavy rain before the storm exits Maine on Tuesday.Biloxi city employees worked before dawn to clear Highway 90, where sand, logs and even a large trash bin had been washed onto the four-lane, beachfront road. Despite the debris, there was little to no visible damage to structures. A handful of businesses had reopened before dawn, and the storm surge that washed across the highway had receded by 6 a.m.Mississippi DOT crews had to remove over 1,000 pumpkins blown onto Highway 90 in Pass Christian, west of Gulfport.Willie Cook, 75, spent his morning chopping down a pecan tree that fell in his backyard. He said Nate was nothing like Katrina, which pushed 8 feet (2.4 metres ) of water into his east Biloxi house."The wind was blowing, but it wasn't too rough," Cook said of Nate.Storm surge flooded the parking structure of the Golden Nugget casino and several others in Biloxi.Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Greg Flynn said about 1,100 people spent the night in shelters."Thankfully, right now we have no major damage reports," he said.Hancock County Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Adam said Nate's storm surge flooded low-lying roads, but he hadn't heard any reports of flooded homes."We turned out fairly good," he said as he prepared to survey neighbourhoods .In Alabama, the storm flooded homes and cars on the coast and inundated at least one major road in downtown Mobile.At sunrise in Pensacola Beach, Florida, a small front-end loader scraped sand off a parking lot and returned it to the nearby beach.On Saturday night, about 6 inches of salt water began flowing through Anthony Perez's garage and a ground-level room of his Pensacola Beach condo along Santa Rosa Sound. The entire building was still surrounded by water on Sunday morning."I went downstairs and said, 'Uh! There it is! It's already flowing through,'" Perez said.Officials rescued five people from two sailboats in choppy waters before the storm — two people from a sailboat in Lake Pontchartrain and three who were in the water after a boat hit rocks in the Mississippi Sound.___Associated Press writers Kim Chandler in Alabama, Michael Kunzelman in Baton Rouge, La., Brendan Farrington in Pensacola Beach, Fla., Kevin McGill in New Orleans, and AP photographer Gerald Herbert in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, contributed.Jeff Amy, The Associated Press.
Aide: Trump still sees 'military options' with North Korea-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
WASHINGTON — A White House aide says there's no misunderstanding what President Donald Trump means when he says "only one thing will work" to rein in North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.Budget director Mick Mulvaney tells NBC that Trump's "clearly telegraphing, and this should not be news to anybody," that "military options are on the table. ... They absolutely are."Trump says years of talking to the North and providing aid haven't worked.But Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy wants Trump to "stop doing hurtful things to the country's national security, like telling the North Koreans that there is no diplomatic path for them to give up nuclear weapons."GOP Sen. Ron Johnson says "there is no viable military option. It would be horrific."The senators were on CNN.The Associated Press.

Arabic language program coming to Alberta schools next fall-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
Students in Kindergarten to Grade 12 in Alberta will soon be able to learn Arabic in the classroom.The government announced Saturday night that an Arabic school curriculum will available for schools to access in fall 2018. The program will be based on an existing Edmonton Public Schools curriculum that allows students to learn Arabic if there is enough demand from students. The new provincial program, still being developed, will be similar in approach. It will be offered at any school in Alberta where 12 or more students want to learn Arabic.The Edmonton school district is one of only a few in the province that currently offers Arabic as a language program.Edmonton Public Schools trustee Cheryl Johner says the existing language curriculum is extremely popular and is the fastest growing language program within the school district."This curriculum is available to not only Arabic-speaking students but also non-Arabic-speaking students. All students are welcome in the Arabic speaking program if they want to learn a new language," she said.Need to expand Arabic language skills in province- Creators of the province-wide Arabic language program says there is a huge need to expand the language to kids across Alberta."It has been kind of difficult for students to gain the knowledge of the Arabic language in other schools. It requires funding, requires resources and teachers. With this program, they will be able to have that provided by the province," said founding director Dean Sanduja.The government is currently working with Edmonton Public Schools to modify lessons to make the Arabic language curriculum available across the province.
FBI searches Las Vegas gunman's house again-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
LAS VEGAS — Federal investigators returned to search the home of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock on Sunday, while the officers who raided his hotel room door the night of the shooting gave a harrowing account of a barricaded door they had to bust through and the booby-traps they feared they'd find.The search of Paddock's three-bedroom house on a cul-de-sac in a retirement community in Mesquite, Nevada, was for "re-documenting and rechecking," said local police Chief Troy Tanner, who accompanied FBI agents as they served the search warrant."I don't think they are after anything specific," Tanner told The Associated Press. "They're going through everything and photographing everything again."The home was first searched Monday by Las Vegas police, who said they found 19 guns and several pounds of potentially explosive materials at the house that Paddock bought in early 2015.The search came exactly a week after Paddock opened fire on a country music crowd, killing 58 and injuring nearly 500.Meanwhile, the makeshift SWAT team of police officers who made it to Paddock's door at the Mandalay Bay hotel casino 12 minutes after the first shots were fired described how they got there and the "gun store" they found inside in an appearance on the CBS television program "60 Minutes" on Sunday night.One of them said he hurried from police headquarters to the Mandalay Bay in cowboy boots and ditched them before ascending to the 32nd floor in search of the gunman."I just threw them in the casino," Detective Matthew Donaldson said. "That was slowing' me down. I was faster barefoot, and I was gonna be more effective barefoot."The officers said they heard reports of gunmen on both the 29th and 32nd floor, so "we're thinking multiple shooters at this point," Sgt. Joshua Bitsko said.They zeroed in on the 32nd floor after Paddock unleashed about 200 rounds at a security guard outside his door.When they got to the stairwell door on that floor near Paddock's room, they found he had taken special measures to slow them down."He had screwed shut the door — with a piece of metal and some screws," Bitsko said. "Cause he knew we'd be coming out that door to gain entry into his door. So he tried to barricade it as best he could."But another officer had a pry bar and was able to easily pop it open, Bitsko said.Authorities would later reveal that Paddock had surveillance cameras rigged inside and outside his room. But the officers didn't know that at the time."There's a room service cart with wires going on it underneath the door," Officer Dave Newton said. "There was something black on top of the cart. So initially I'm, you know, I'm thinking, 'This is a booby-trap. It's, it's going to explode.' "Bitsko and Newton are K9 officers who had been training dogs when they got the call about Mandalay Bay. They said they were at a disadvantage approaching because "cause he knew we were coming and we were going to have to come through," Newton said. "We didn't know where he was going to be in that room."Bitsko said it was "like a deadly game of hide and seek," and thought " 'Man, I wish I had my dog with me,' because, you know, it's nice to have him lead a team."It turned out Paddock had already shot and killed himself when they finally entered.Inside, Newton said he found "so many guns. So many magazines. Stacks and stacks of magazines everywhere. Just in suitcases all neatly stacked against pillars, around the room, all stacked up, rifles placed all throughout. All kinds of monitors and electrical equipment he had in there. It just looked like almost a gun store."Also Sunday, authorities began returning the baby strollers, shoes, phones, backpacks and purses that have been strewn for days across the huge crime scene that a week ago was home to 22,000 country music fans at the Route 91 Harvest festival.Federal agents have spent the week collecting evidence amid the thousands of items that were abandoned in panic, some of them stained with blood."Whatever was dropped when people started running, those items we're collecting and we're going to provide back," Paul Flood, unit chief in the FBI's victim services division said at a news conference.The items have been catalogued with detailed descriptions, and some have been cleaned of things including blood. They are now being returned to people at the Las Vegas Convention Center, starting with a few sections of the concert scene and expanding to others at a time to be announced later.Las Vegas hotel and gambling magnate Steve Wynn, who owns casinos that Paddock gambled in but not the Mandalay Bay, said Sunday that his hotels have undertaken special security measures in recent years to identify potentially dangerous guests. Those measures include using magnetometers to detect significant amounts of metal and training housekeeping staff to report suspicious actions like a do-not-disturb sign remaining on a door for extended periods."If a room goes on 'do not disturb' for more than 12 hours, we investigate," Wynn, whose hotels include Wynn Las Vegas and Encore told "Fox News Sunday" in an interview. "We don't allow guns in this building unless they're being carried by our employees, and there's a lot of them. But if anybody's got a gun and we find them continually, we eject them from the hotel."Wynn said a scenario like Paddock's "would have triggered a whole bunch of alarms here. And we would have, on behalf of the guests, of course, investigated for safety, and it would have been a provocative situation."Wynn said that under a counterterrorism plan put in place in 2015, "We profile or inspect or examine everybody that enters the building."Late Sunday night, when exactly a week has passed since the shooting, casino marquees and other lights on the Las Vegas Strip will go dark for about 10 minutes to pay tribute to the victims who spent that much time under fire.___Associated Press writers Michael Balsamo in Las Vegas and Andrew Dalton in Los Angeles contributed to this report.___Regina Garcia Cano And Ken Ritter, The Associated Press.

LAS VEGAS — The Latest on the mass shooting in Las Vegas (all times local):4:20 p.m.The Las Vegas gunman who killed 58 people from his hotel room barricaded shut a stairwell door on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay to keep officers at bay during his rampage.The police officers who responded to Stephen Paddock's room tell the CBS program "60 Minutes" that they used a pry bar to open the door after he screwed a piece of metal on it.In the "60 Minutes" segment, the officers also described in harrowing detail how they rushed to his room. One of them said he was bleeding in the neck from a bullet wound. Another said he hurried from police headquarters to the Mandalay Bay while wearing a pair of cowboy boots that he took off in the casino so he could run faster.Inside Paddock's room, the officers described seeing rifles, electronics, drills and stacks of ammunition magazines.They went into the room after Paddock shot and killed himself. At that point, they were unsure if there were other shooters or whether the floor was booby-trapped___3:35 p.m.Officials say lights will dim for about 10 minutes at more than 50 casino and shopping properties to mark the time exactly a week earlier when a gunman shot into a crowd at a country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip.A Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority list of places promising to take part in the sombre commemoration also includes a Walgreens pharmacy and a golf driving range and lounge that stays open until 2 a.m.Most casinos along the Strip in Las Vegas, along with properties in Henderson and North Las Vegas, are scheduled to darken their marquees.The lights of the Las Vegas Strip were last dimmed to mark the death in February 2015 of legendary former UNLV basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian.Others who have been similarly honoured include Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., George Burns and Presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.The Strip was also darkened after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.___2:35 p.m.Federal investigators returned to Stephen Paddock's southern Nevada house for what the local police chief calls an effort to re-document and recheck the home of the man who opened fire on a concert crowd in Las Vegas.Police Chief Troy Tanner told The Associated Press on Sunday he accompanied FBI agents serving a federal search warrant at the three-bedroom house on a cul-de-sac in a retirement community in Mesquite, Nevada.Tanner says it doesn't appear investigators are after anything specific, but they are just taking photographs and examining items in the home.The home was initially searched Monday by Las Vegas police looking for clues to the motive for the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.Mesquite is a community of about 18,000 residents with casinos and golf courses along the state line with Arizona. It's about 90 miles northeast of Las Vegas.___2:07 p.m.The owner of a casino where Stephen Paddock gambled says the Las Vegas gunman didn't drink alcohol or show any signs of trouble when he was a customer there.Steve Wynn said in an interview on "Fox News Sunday" that Paddock had "the most vanilla profile one could possibly imagine."He says Paddock didn't run up debts or have a gambling problem. Wynn said butlers, waiters and massage employees knew Paddock and his girlfriend.Wynn also described some of the security measures his casino put in place in recent years that include magnetometers and training of housekeeping staff to report suspicious actions like a do-not-disturb sign remaining on a door for an extended period of time.Paddock killed 58 people at a country music festival from his 32nd floor suite at the Mandalay Bay, which is owned by MGM Resorts.___This story has been clarified to add the name of the Fox Network show.__10:35 a.m.Officials who are announcing a property return plan for concertgoers who fled gunfire at a Las Vegas music festival a week ago say more items will be made available in coming days for people who were in other areas of the venue.Deputy Clark County Fire Chief John Steinbeck said Sunday that items are being returned first to people who were in and in front of the VIP tent and bleacher seating east of the stage at the Route 91 Harvest festival.Officials say updates for people who left belongings in other areas of the festival grounds will be made public through news reports and on Twitter on @ClarkCountyNV, @LVMPD, @FBILasVegas and with the hashtags #1October and #VegasStrong.FBI spokeswoman Sandra Breault (BRO') says officials aren't answering any questions right now about the investigation itself.She says people unclear about where their possessions may have been left might want to wait until all items have been catalogued and are made available for pickup.____10:15 a.m.Officials say they're beginning to return personal belongings to concertgoers who were in one corner of the festival grounds where a gunman opened fire from a high-rise hotel a week ago.Deputy Clark County Fire Chief John Steinbeck announced Sunday that items are being returned to people at a Family Assistance Center in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.For now, items are being returned to people who were in the area in and around the VIP tent and bleacher seating east of the stage at the Route 91 Harvest festival.Federal agents have spent almost a week collecting evidence amid thousands of personal items like cellphones, baby strollers, lawn chairs, backpacks, shoes and purses left behind when people scattered late Oct. 1.The FBI is co-ordinating the returns with a victim questionnaire on its website , www.fbi.gov/lvmusicfestivalshooting, or by email at LVFestivalAssist@fbi.gov .___9 a.m.Officials in Las Vegas are going to announce how concertgoers will be able to retrieve property left behind when

people and injuring nearly 500.Petty died the next day in Los Angeles after suffering cardiac arrest.___5 p.m.A law enforcement official says investigators believe a note found in the Las Vegas shooter's hotel room contained a series of numbers that helped him calculate more precise shots.The official says Saturday that the numbers found on a note on a nightstand included the distance between the high-rise hotel room that Stephen Paddock was using as a perch and the concert the victims were attending.The official wasn't authorized to discuss the details of the ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.Investigators are still trying to determine why Paddock committed the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.He killed 58 people and wounded hundreds of others last Sunday before taking his own life.— By Associated Press writer Michael Balsamo____1:30 p.m.Vice-President Mike Pence says in the depths of horror, Americans

mass shooting in modern U.S. history.Pence says those killed were taken before their time. But he says, "Their names and their stories will forever be etched into the hearts of the American people."Fifty-eight doves were released outside on the steps of City Hall. They flew in a wide arc before disappearing into the distance as someone shouted, "God bless America!"Investigators are still trying to figure out what led gunman Stephen Paddock to carry out the attack.___12:30 p.m.The family of a California man killed in the Las Vegas shooting is asking a judge to appoint a special administrator to take control of the gunman's assets.Attorneys for the family of 56-year-old John Phippen filed the petition in Clark County, Nevada, on Friday.The court filing asks a judge to appoint the county's public administrator to take control of gunman Stephen Paddock's estate. The petition says that's a necessary step to allow lawsuits to be brought against Paddock's estate.Phippen was one of 58 victims killed when Paddock opened fire from his high-rise hotel suite last Sunday.

The number will be 800-CALL-FBI.Paddock left behind little clues about what led him to carry out the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. He killed 58 and wounded nearly 500 before killing himself.The Associated Press.

A weakened Nate brings flooding, power outages to Gulf Coast-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
BILOXI, Miss. — Hurricane Nate brought a burst of flooding and power outages to the U.S. Gulf Coast before weakening rapidly Sunday, sparing the region the kind of catastrophic damage left by a series of hurricanes that hit the southern U.S. and Caribbean in recent weeks.Nate — the first hurricane to make landfall in Mississippi since Katrina in 2005 — quickly lost strength, with its winds diminishing to a tropical depression as it pushed northward into Alabama and toward Georgia with heavy rain. It was a Category 1 hurricane when it came ashore outside Biloxi early Sunday, its second landfall after initially hitting southeastern Louisiana on Saturday evening.The storm surge from the Mississippi Sound littered Biloxi's main beachfront highway with debris and flooded a casino's lobby and parking structure overnight.By dawn, however, Nate's receding floodwaters didn't reveal any obvious signs of widespread damage in the city where Hurricane Katrina had levelled thousands of beachfront homes and businesses.No storm-related deaths or injuries were immediately reported.Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant praised state and local officials and coastal residents for working together to avoid loss of life.Lee Smithson, director of the state emergency management agency, said damage from Nate was held down in part because of work done and lessons learned from Katrina."If that same storm would have hit us 15 years ago, the damage would have been extensive and we would have had loss of life." Smithson said of Nate. "But we have rebuilt the coast in the aftermath of Katrina higher and stronger."Nate knocked out power to more than 100,000 residents in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Florida, but crews worked on repairs and it appeared many of the outages had been restored within 24 hours.As of Sunday evening, Alabama Power said it had electricity back to more than 64,000 customers and some 36,000 remained without power, while utilities and co-operatives in Mississippi said it had restored power to more than 21,000 customers. In Louisiana, there were scattered outages during the storm, while Florida Gov. Rick Scott said 6,800 customers had lost power in his state.Mississippi's Gulf Coast casinos got approval to reopen in midmorning after closing Saturday as the storm approached.Sean Stewart, checking on his father's sailboat at a Biloxi marina after daybreak, found another boat had sunk, its sail still fluttering in Nate's diminishing winds. Stewart was relieved to find his father's craft intact."I got lucky on this one," he said.Before Nate sped past Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula late Friday and entered the Gulf of Mexico, it drenched Central America with rains that left at least 22 people dead. But Nate didn't approach the intensity of Harvey, Irma and Maria — powerful storms that left behind massive destruction during 2017's exceptionally busy hurricane season."We are thankful because this looked like it was going to be a freight train barrelling through the city," said Vincent Creel, a spokesman for the city of Biloxi.The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said the four hurricanes that have struck the U.S. and its territories this year have "strained" resources, with roughly 85 per cent of the agency's forces deployed."We're still working massive issues in Harvey, Irma, as well as the issues in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and now this one," FEMA Administrator Brock Long told ABC's "This Week."The federal government declared emergencies in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.Nate initially made landfall Saturday evening in Louisiana, but fears that it would overwhelm the fragile pumping system in New Orleans proved to be unfounded. The storm passed to the east of New Orleans, and Mayor Mitch Landrieu lifted a curfew on the city known for its all-night partying."Hurricane Nate had the potential to wreak havoc on Louisiana, but thankfully, we were largely spared major damage," Gov. John Bel Edwards said in a statement.In Alabama, Dauphin Island Mayor Jeff Collier said he woke up around 3 a.m. Sunday to discover knee-deep water in his yard. Although some homes and cars on the island had flooded, Collier said he hadn't heard of anyone needing rescue."We didn't think it would be quite that bad," he said. "It kind of snuck up on us in the wee hours of the morning."At landfall in Mississippi, the fast-moving storm had maximum sustained winds near 85 mph (140 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Nate steadily weakened after its first landfall in a sparsely populated area of Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.At 5 p.m. EDT, the centre of Nate was about 75 miles (120 kilometres ) south of Nashville, Tennessee. Nate was expected to bring 3 to 6 inches of rain to the Deep South, eastern Tennessee Valley and southern Appalachians through Monday. The Ohio Valley, central Appalachians and Northeast could also get heavy rain before the storm exits Maine on Tuesday.Biloxi city employees worked before dawn to clear Highway 90, where sand, logs and even a large trash bin had been washed onto the four-lane, beachfront road. Despite the debris, there was little to no visible damage to structures. A handful of businesses had reopened before dawn, and the storm surge that washed across the highway had receded by 6 a.m.Mississippi DOT crews had to remove over 1,000 pumpkins blown onto Highway 90 in Pass Christian, west of Gulfport.Willie Cook, 75, spent his morning chopping down a pecan tree that fell in his backyard. He said Nate was nothing like Katrina, which pushed 8 feet (2.4 metres ) of water into his east Biloxi house."The wind was blowing, but it wasn't too rough," Cook said of Nate.Storm surge flooded the parking structure of the Golden Nugget casino and several others in Biloxi.Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Greg Flynn said about 1,100 people spent the night in shelters."Thankfully, right now we have no major damage reports," he said.Hancock County Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Adam said Nate's storm surge flooded low-lying roads, but he hadn't heard any reports of flooded homes."We turned out fairly good," he said as he prepared to survey neighbourhoods .In Alabama, the storm flooded homes and cars on the coast and inundated at least one major road in downtown Mobile.At sunrise in Pensacola Beach, Florida, a small front-end loader scraped sand off a parking lot and returned it to the nearby beach.On Saturday night, about 6 inches of salt water began flowing through Anthony Perez's garage and a ground-level room of his Pensacola Beach condo along Santa Rosa Sound. The entire building was still surrounded by water on Sunday morning."I went downstairs and said, 'Uh! There it is! It's already flowing through,'" Perez said.Officials rescued five people from two sailboats in choppy waters before the storm — two people from a sailboat in Lake Pontchartrain and three who were in the water after a boat hit rocks in the Mississippi Sound.___Associated Press writers Kim Chandler in Alabama, Michael Kunzelman in Baton Rouge, La., Brendan Farrington in Pensacola Beach, Fla., Kevin McGill in New Orleans, and AP photographer Gerald Herbert in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, contributed.Jeff Amy, The Associated Press.
Aide: Trump still sees 'military options' with North Korea-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
WASHINGTON — A White House aide says there's no misunderstanding what President Donald Trump means when he says "only one thing will work" to rein in North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.Budget director Mick Mulvaney tells NBC that Trump's "clearly telegraphing, and this should not be news to anybody," that "military options are on the table. ... They absolutely are."Trump says years of talking to the North and providing aid haven't worked.But Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy wants Trump to "stop doing hurtful things to the country's national security, like telling the North Koreans that there is no diplomatic path for them to give up nuclear weapons."GOP Sen. Ron Johnson says "there is no viable military option. It would be horrific."The senators were on CNN.The Associated Press.

Arabic language program coming to Alberta schools next fall-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
Students in Kindergarten to Grade 12 in Alberta will soon be able to learn Arabic in the classroom.The government announced Saturday night that an Arabic school curriculum will available for schools to access in fall 2018. The program will be based on an existing Edmonton Public Schools curriculum that allows students to learn Arabic if there is enough demand from students. The new provincial program, still being developed, will be similar in approach. It will be offered at any school in Alberta where 12 or more students want to learn Arabic.The Edmonton school district is one of only a few in the province that currently offers Arabic as a language program.Edmonton Public Schools trustee Cheryl Johner says the existing language curriculum is extremely popular and is the fastest growing language program within the school district."This curriculum is available to not only Arabic-speaking students but also non-Arabic-speaking students. All students are welcome in the Arabic speaking program if they want to learn a new language," she said.Need to expand Arabic language skills in province- Creators of the province-wide Arabic language program says there is a huge need to expand the language to kids across Alberta."It has been kind of difficult for students to gain the knowledge of the Arabic language in other schools. It requires funding, requires resources and teachers. With this program, they will be able to have that provided by the province," said founding director Dean Sanduja.The government is currently working with Edmonton Public Schools to modify lessons to make the Arabic language curriculum available across the province.
FBI searches Las Vegas gunman's house again-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-October 8, 2017
LAS VEGAS — Federal investigators returned to search the home of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock on Sunday, while the officers who raided his hotel room door the night of the shooting gave a harrowing account of a barricaded door they had to bust through and the booby-traps they feared they'd find.The search of Paddock's three-bedroom house on a cul-de-sac in a retirement community in Mesquite, Nevada, was for "re-documenting and rechecking," said local police Chief Troy Tanner, who accompanied FBI agents as they served the search warrant."I don't think they are after anything specific," Tanner told The Associated Press. "They're going through everything and photographing everything again."The home was first searched Monday by Las Vegas police, who said they found 19 guns and several pounds of potentially explosive materials at the house that Paddock bought in early 2015.The search came exactly a week after Paddock opened fire on a country music crowd, killing 58 and injuring nearly 500.Meanwhile, the makeshift SWAT team of police officers who made it to Paddock's door at the Mandalay Bay hotel casino 12 minutes after the first shots were fired described how they got there and the "gun store" they found inside in an appearance on the CBS television program "60 Minutes" on Sunday night.One of them said he hurried from police headquarters to the Mandalay Bay in cowboy boots and ditched them before ascending to the 32nd floor in search of the gunman."I just threw them in the casino," Detective Matthew Donaldson said. "That was slowing' me down. I was faster barefoot, and I was gonna be more effective barefoot."The officers said they heard reports of gunmen on both the 29th and 32nd floor, so "we're thinking multiple shooters at this point," Sgt. Joshua Bitsko said.They zeroed in on the 32nd floor after Paddock unleashed about 200 rounds at a security guard outside his door.When they got to the stairwell door on that floor near Paddock's room, they found he had taken special measures to slow them down."He had screwed shut the door — with a piece of metal and some screws," Bitsko said. "Cause he knew we'd be coming out that door to gain entry into his door. So he tried to barricade it as best he could."But another officer had a pry bar and was able to easily pop it open, Bitsko said.Authorities would later reveal that Paddock had surveillance cameras rigged inside and outside his room. But the officers didn't know that at the time."There's a room service cart with wires going on it underneath the door," Officer Dave Newton said. "There was something black on top of the cart. So initially I'm, you know, I'm thinking, 'This is a booby-trap. It's, it's going to explode.' "Bitsko and Newton are K9 officers who had been training dogs when they got the call about Mandalay Bay. They said they were at a disadvantage approaching because "cause he knew we were coming and we were going to have to come through," Newton said. "We didn't know where he was going to be in that room."Bitsko said it was "like a deadly game of hide and seek," and thought " 'Man, I wish I had my dog with me,' because, you know, it's nice to have him lead a team."It turned out Paddock had already shot and killed himself when they finally entered.Inside, Newton said he found "so many guns. So many magazines. Stacks and stacks of magazines everywhere. Just in suitcases all neatly stacked against pillars, around the room, all stacked up, rifles placed all throughout. All kinds of monitors and electrical equipment he had in there. It just looked like almost a gun store."Also Sunday, authorities began returning the baby strollers, shoes, phones, backpacks and purses that have been strewn for days across the huge crime scene that a week ago was home to 22,000 country music fans at the Route 91 Harvest festival.Federal agents have spent the week collecting evidence amid the thousands of items that were abandoned in panic, some of them stained with blood."Whatever was dropped when people started running, those items we're collecting and we're going to provide back," Paul Flood, unit chief in the FBI's victim services division said at a news conference.The items have been catalogued with detailed descriptions, and some have been cleaned of things including blood. They are now being returned to people at the Las Vegas Convention Center, starting with a few sections of the concert scene and expanding to others at a time to be announced later.Las Vegas hotel and gambling magnate Steve Wynn, who owns casinos that Paddock gambled in but not the Mandalay Bay, said Sunday that his hotels have undertaken special security measures in recent years to identify potentially dangerous guests. Those measures include using magnetometers to detect significant amounts of metal and training housekeeping staff to report suspicious actions like a do-not-disturb sign remaining on a door for extended periods."If a room goes on 'do not disturb' for more than 12 hours, we investigate," Wynn, whose hotels include Wynn Las Vegas and Encore told "Fox News Sunday" in an interview. "We don't allow guns in this building unless they're being carried by our employees, and there's a lot of them. But if anybody's got a gun and we find them continually, we eject them from the hotel."Wynn said a scenario like Paddock's "would have triggered a whole bunch of alarms here. And we would have, on behalf of the guests, of course, investigated for safety, and it would have been a provocative situation."Wynn said that under a counterterrorism plan put in place in 2015, "We profile or inspect or examine everybody that enters the building."Late Sunday night, when exactly a week has passed since the shooting, casino marquees and other lights on the Las Vegas Strip will go dark for about 10 minutes to pay tribute to the victims who spent that much time under fire.___Associated Press writers Michael Balsamo in Las Vegas and Andrew Dalton in Los Angeles contributed to this report.___Regina Garcia Cano And Ken Ritter, The Associated Press.

Wynn said butlers, waiters and massage employees knew Paddock and his girlfriend.Wynn also described some of the security measures his casino put in place in recent years that include magnetometers and training of housekeeping staff to report suspicious actions like a do-not-disturb sign remaining on a door for an extended period of time.Paddock killed 58 people at a country music festival from his 32nd floor suite at the Mandalay Bay, which is owned by MGM Resorts.___This story has been clarified to add the name of the Fox Network show.__10:35 a.m.Officials who are announcing a property
