Earthquake hits Russia's Far East

Last Updated: Monday, June 24, 2013, 00:21   A- A A+ 

Moscow: A powerful earthquake has hit Russia's Far East with slight tremors spreading westwards as far as Moscow.Marina Kolomiyets, spokeswoman for Obninsk's seismic station of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said on Sunday the epicentre was in the Sea of Okhotsk, east of the Russian coast and north of Japan. She said the quake registered 8.0 on the Richter scale.Emergency agencies in the Far East issued a tsunami warning for Sakhalin and the Kuril islands, but lifted it soon afterwards.Kolomiyets said the earthquake originated 600 kilometres underground and with the tremors so far down they have the potential to spread quite far.

Tremors were felt in central Moscow, prompting some people to evacuate from buildings. Russian news agencies also cited eyewitnesses reporting strong tremors across Siberia. PTI

Ancient Egyptian Statue Mysteriously Rotates at Museum

By ABC News

Jun 24, 2013 10:13am

An ancient Egyptian statue in a British museum has sparked debate after it was captured on video seemingly rotating on its own.The 10-inch tall statue of Neb-senu has been on display at the Manchester Museum in Manchester, England, for 80 years but it was only recently that museum staff noticed the statue moving.
“Most Egyptologists are not superstitious people. I wondered who had changed the object’s position without telling me,” the museum’s curator, Campbell Price, told the U.K.’s Sun.  “But the next time I looked, it was facing in another direction–and a day later had yet another orientation.”With his curiosity piqued, Price returned the statue of the Egyptian idol to its original position in a locked glass case and set up a camera to film the statue over an 11-hour period.  The resulting time-lapse video, Price says, shows the statue moving on its own.Other experts attribute the rotation to a more scientific reasoning, such as subtle vibrations that cause the statue to move.“The statue only seems to spin during the day when people are in the museum,” Carol Redmount, associate professor of Egyptian archeology at the University of California, Berkeley, told ABC News.  “It could have something to do with its individual placement and the individual character of the statue.”The statue, made from serpentine, shows what is likely an official with “priestly duties,” according to Price, wearing a shoulder-length wig and knee-length kilt.The hieroglyphs on the back of the statue spell out, “bread, beer and beef,” a “prayer for offerings for the spirit of the man,” Price told the Sun.

Terrorists from Hamas-controlled Gaza fired at least seven rockets into southern Israel on Sunday night.

Around 1:00 a.m., four rockets were fired towards the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council. One of them may have been intercepted by the Iron Dome anti-missile system, and the other three exploded in open areas. There were no physical injuries or damages.Earlier, terrorists fired three rockets towards the Bnei Shimon Regional Council. The rockets exploded in open areas, causing no physical injuries or damages.Residents reported hearing a siren shortly before midnight. The siren was heard in the Bedouin city of Rahat, in Netivot and in other towns in the area.IDF Spokesman Yoav Mordechai wrote on his Facebook page Sunday night, "Again, an emergency meeting at about midnight. After 40 days of quiet, without fire from Gaza into Israeli territory, rockets which probably fell in open areas were fired tonight. A good and peaceful night for residents of the south.”Last Wednesday morning, terrorists from Hamas-controlled Gaza fired three rockets at southern Israel.At least one rocket exploded in an open region of the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council, causing no physical injuries or damages. Two other rockets reportedly exploded in Gaza.The rocket attacks come after a period of relative quiet in the region. The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) said recently that May 2013 saw a decline in the number of terror attacks carried out against Israelis by Palestinian Authority Arab terrorists.The report noted that in May there only three attacks which originated in Gaza, as opposed to 12 in April. Two of the three attacks were rocket attacks and the third one was a small arms shooting.

The Kerem Shalom goods crossing, reserved for trade between Israel and Gaza, will be closed until further notice following the rocket attacks on southern Israel overnight, the army said Monday.The Israeli Air Force (IAF) attacked targets in Gaza early Monday, following the rocket fire from Gaza, sources from both sides of the conflict said."In response to the numerous rockets launched at Israel in the past several the hours, IAF aircraft targeted terrorist infrastructure including two weapon storage facilities in the central Gaza Strip and a rocket launch site in the southern Gaza Strip. IAF pilots reported accurate strikes on the targets," the army said in a statement.According to AFP, Arab witnesses said the air raids, which caused no injuries, hit uninhabited sites belonging to the Islamic Jihad movement.Late Sunday two Arab rockets landed in southern Israel, without causing any damage or injury, according to Israeli military sources.Two other rockets were intercepted by Israel's "Iron Dome" defense system, the army said.It said Hamas was accountable for the rocket attacks.

Israel appoints new central bank chief

Associated Press – JUNE 24,13

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel has appointed respected banker Jacob Frenkel as the next governor of the Bank of Israel.It will be Frenkel's second term in the position. The current governor, Stanley Fischer, will be leaving the position at the end of this month after eight years in office.The appointment must be approved by Israel's Cabinet, but significant opposition is unlikely.Frenkel won praise for his role as central bank chief from 1991 to 2000 for his part in reducing inflation, liberalizing financial markets and integrating Israel's economy into the global financial system.He has since worked in international finance. Frenkel, 70, is currently chairman of JPMorgan Chase International.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the decision Sunday in a statement sent to news media.

Ministers crawl toward bank resolution deal

Today @ 09:58 JUNE 24,13

By Benjamin Fox

BRUSSELS - EU finance ministers will reconvene on Wednesday (26 June) in a last-ditch attempt to agree on common rules to wind down ailing banks.Ministers failed to reach a deal despite almost 20 hours of talks in Luxembourg that ran from Friday into Saturday morning.A common position is required before ministers can open negotiations with the European Parliament, which agreed its own stance on the new regime in May.
The bank resolution and recovery directive, tabled by the European Commission in June 2012, was widely seen as a precursor to the single resolution mechanism (SRM) for the eurozone, a controversial piece of legislation expected to be proposed in the coming weeks by the EU executive.The directive sets out a hierarchy of shareholders and creditors who would be "bailed in" to bear losses if a bank got into serious difficulties, leaving savers as the last in line to lose money.By forcing shareholders and major creditors to pay for a bank collapse, ministers hope to avoid a repeat of the multi-billion euro taxpayer funded bailouts following the 2008-9 financial crisis.Although there had been earlier disagreement over the prospect of rules requiring all member states to set up bank-funded resolution funds earlier in negotiations, the main stumbling block was over how much flexibility governments should be granted in making decisions on winding down banks.The UK and Sweden are among a group anxious to be allowed to invoke a "financial stability" clause to take account of spill-over effects that resolving a single bank could have on the rest of the sector.However, Germany and the Netherlands are among those believing that too much flexibility would create new imbalances between the bloc’s weaker and stronger economies.The previous evening, on Thursday (20 June), ministers agreed guidelines on how the eurozone's emergency bailout fund can inject money directly into struggling banks.Starting in mid-2014 when the eurozone's new bank supervision regime begins, €60 billion out of the European Stability Mechanism's €500 billion lending capacity will be allocated to bank recapitalization.“I think we can reach a deal if we take a few more days,” said Michel Barnier, the EU's commissioner on financial regulation.“We are not far off now from a political agreement,” he added.
For his part, French finance minister Pierre Moscovici claimed that "90 percent" of the work has been completed.However, Irish counterpart Michael Noonan cautioned that there are still “real issues” to be resolved.“There is no guarantee there will be a solution on Wednesday,” he noted.

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.

Uttarakhand floods: 5,000 feared killed; Kedarnath cleared; 19,000 still stranded

Sunday, Jun 23, 2013, 21:31 IST | Place: Dehradun | Agency: PTI

In stepped up rescue operations by the Army, ITBP and NDRF amid intermittent rains, more than 3,000 people were rescued from different areas,.

Kedarnath Valley, the temple town which was the epicentre of the Uttarakhand rain fury, was on Sunday cleared of all stranded pilgrims, as rescuers battled rains to evacuate 3,000 more people in the disaster in which the death toll is likely to cross 5,000.With MeT department warning of adverse weather in the region from tomorrow, the multi-agency operations raced against time to try to rescue remaining 19,000 stranded people stuck in three areas including Badrinath. Air operations had to be also briefly suspended due to bad weather.As stepped up rescue operations amid intermittent rains led to evacuation of more than 3,000 pilgrims and tourists out of the stranded 22,000 people, the state government said at least 5,000 people must have perished in Uttarakhand in the worst ever deluge to have struck the hill state."At least 5,000 people must have been killed in the deluge that inflicted heavy damage on vast tracts of land especially in Kedarnath valley," Disaster Management Minister Yashpal Arya told reporters at the Jollygrant airport on his return from an aerial survey of the affected areas. The official death toll as of yesterday was put at 680 while Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna said the death toll is likely to be around 1,000.However, Arya did not give a specific figure saying extrication of bodies from under tonnes of debris in affected areas which is yet to be taken up may take some time.ITBP jawans also began constructing foot tracks to speed up evacuation work, offering a "silver lining" for the stranded people."New tracks for able-bodied men to move on foot are opening up and that is a silver lining," Air Commodore Rajesh Isser, who is also the Task Force Commander for the IAF, said.He said air operations are now focussed on areas like Gaurikund and Harshil and other places which were untouched.In stepped up rescue operations by the Army, ITBP and NDRF amid intermittent rains, more than 3,000 people were rescued from different areas, Chief Secretary Subhash Kumar told reporters.Kedarnath valley has been totally evacuated while over 3,000 stuck in Badrinath, Junglechatti and Harshil areas were evacuated to safe locations by the security forces on Sunday, he said. Scores of dead bodieslay strewn in Kedarnath area.A joint combing operation by the security forces will be launched in Kedarnath valley tomorrow morning to ensure not a single survivor remains stuck in Rudraparayag district.When asked how many more are yet to be evacuated from Badrinath and nearby areas, the Chief secretary said the figure should not be more than 7,000.

Alberta flooding: Medicine Hat water levels peak

MEDICINE HAT, ALTA.—Floodwatchers in the eastern Alberta city of Medicine Hat believe water levels on the South Saskatchewan River have peaked and stabilized.The water has managed to top sandbag barriers in some areas of the city and there has been flooding in some neighbourhoods.But some of the city’s defences remain dry and there is a feeling that the flooding won’t be as severe as initially feared.Roughly 10,000 people were removed from their homes over the weekend as the city prepared for the surge of water that swamped Calgary and surrounding areas last week.People are still being urged to stay away from the evacuation zone.The river overflowed Sunday in low-lying areas and people piled up thousands of sandbags as fast as they could, but some barriers were quickly breached.At least 10,000 people in Medicine Hat’s flood zone were instructed over the weekend to head for higher ground.Two of the three bridges that connect the city’s north and south were also closed amid fears the river would overrun them.The good news is the torrent of water wasn’t expected to be quite as high as initially feared, however, the bad news is that it will stay high for several days.“We’ve got a longer sustained event, but that event is of a lower pressure or a lower speed,” said deputy fire chief Doug Cooke.“While that’s going to be longer and that puts different kinds of pressure on our system, we’re hoping that we can stay ahead of it and keep the water out.”

Ron Robinson, director of emergency measures in Medicine Hat, got an aerial view of the flooding Sunday. Many areas were inundated with water, he said.“You’d almost think we’re in the muddy waters of the Mississippi right now that surrounds a lot of these homes,” said Robinson.“It’s actually quite tragic in some areas.”Some sections of the city of 62,000 have been closed and are being patrolled by police to guard against possible looting.Robinson had earlier said that people could be forcibly removed if necessary.

“They can be fined. They can be jailed. We need to protect lives even if they don’t want us to.”Environment Canada was calling for showers and possible thunderstorms in Medicine Hat on Monday.There was better news in Calgary over the weekend. Mayor Naheed Nenshi announced that 65,000 residents who had been ordered to leave their homes were being allowed to return to assess the damage.He warned there was still a long way to go before the city and its downtown would be back to normal, although crews were working hard to clean up and restore utilities. Nenshi suggested anyone with offices downtown was unlikely to be able to return before mid-week.People in High River, the community hardest hit by the flooding, didn’t have much reason for optimism. Mayor Emile Blokland said there was still no timeline for when the 13-thousand evacuees there would be able to return.He said he understood their frustration, but explained that the town’s infrastructure had suffered a “critical blow” and every house needed to be inspected.

Power outages in Calgary could last for months after floods

By Nia Williams | Reuters – JUNE 24,13

By Nia Williams

CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Power outages in the Canadian oil capital of Calgary could last for weeks or even months, city authorities said on Sunday, as record breaking flood waters moved downstream to threaten smaller communities in southeastern Alberta.Even as officials told 65,000 Calgary residents they could start returning to their water-damaged homes, 10,000 people in were evacuated in Medicine Hat, where the South Saskatchewan River is expected to burst its banks.CF Industries said it was temporarily halting production at its Medicine Hat facility, Canada's largest nitrogen fertilizer complex, as a precautionary measure in view of the flooding.The floods have closed key transit arteries, including some rail lines and the east-west TransCanada Highway, and displaced more than 100,000 people.The floods already look significantly worse than those of 2005, which caused C$400 million ($383 million) in damage.Three people have been confirmed dead.But officials say it is too early to put a figure on the damage in the Western Canadian province and in Calgary, its largest city, with a population of 1.1 million."It will certainly be at least the middle of the week before people will be going back to work. There are some pockets of downtown where normality will not return for weeks," Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi told a news conference."We have turned a corner. We are still in a state of emergency, but our hearts and thoughts and prayers are now with our colleagues downstream."Bruce Burrell, director of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency, said it could take days, weeks or perhaps even months to restore all power in the downtown core, where many of Canada's oil companies have their headquarters.Many of the companies were making plans for employees to work from home.Heavy rains were blamed for 750 barrels of synthetic oil spilling from a pipeline approximately 70 kilometers (40 miles) south of the oil town of Fort McMurray, in northern Alberta, early on Saturday.Enbridge Inc, Canada's largest pipeline company, said the cause of the spill was still under investigation but unusually heavy rain may have resulted in ground movements that impacted the pipeline.
The oilfields were not threatened by the floods.Enbridge also has shut down two other major oil pipelines serving Canada's oil sands region as a precaution. Canada is the biggest supplier of energy to the United States.There was little, if any, trade in Canadian crude oil on Friday, after the evacuations started in Calgary. Net Energy Inc, one of the two main Calgary crude brokers, said it would be open for business this week with brokers working remotely.
INSURANCE GAPS
Jeff Burke, president and CEO of insurers Western Financial Group, said many Canadian homeowners would not be covered for damages resulting from groundwater flooding."There is no flood insurance in Canada, so people do not have coverage for this. Where there's some coverage in some cases is if they have sewer back-up cover," Burke said."Just looking at water levels, what we have experienced and the destruction is much more severe now than in 2005."The company is headquartered in High River, one of the communities worst affected by the flooding, and the site of the three deaths recorded so far.The floods followed 36 hours of unusually heavy rain that pushed the volume of water in rivers to record levels. Some communities received six months of their normal rainfall in fewer than two days.Evacuations started on Thursday and utility Enmax switched off power to central Calgary on Friday afternoon to avoid water damage to its downtown facilities.Troops have been helping evacuate residents and throw up sand or earth barriers to protect low-lying communities.Soldiers on Sunday helped shore up the east bank of the Bow River in Calgary and ensure the stability of an substation belonging to utility Enmax.City authorities said 24,000 Enmax customers were still without power.(Reporting by Nia Williams; Editing by Janet Guttsman and Marguerita Choy)

Merkel party: No to eurobonds and No to Turkey

Today @ 09:29 JUNE 24,13

By Valentina Pop

Berlin - Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union on Sunday (23 June) adopted its political programme ahead of the September elections, vowing to oppose any debt mutualisation in Europe.The main message of the 128-page long manifesto is that Germans should vote for the Christian Democrats and their Bavarian sister party (CSU) as they got Germany and Europe out of the crisis."Before the last elections in 2009, there were big concerns about the future. Germany and Europe were in the middle of the worst economic crisis since the Second World War. Today Germany is again a strong and successful country, one of the strongest worldwide. This shows: our efforts have paid off. Europe and the euro are advancing," the manifesto reads.Merkel's party promises to hold a steady course on economic policies, meaning no euro-bailouts without strict conditions, pushing through reforms and cutting back public deficit and debt.
Eurobonds - an idea promoted by the opposition about a year ago but meanwhile abandoned - remain a no-go area."This would lead to a European debt union, where the German taxpayer would need to take over almost all the debt of other countries. We reject that," the party programme reads.The Christian Democrats want the German "dual education model" to be adopted all over Europe in order to boost youth employment, but they insist countries should not spend more or take on more debt to restart their economies."For many in Europe and around the world, Germany is a role model today when it comes to good policies for a sustainable development," the party paper says.Being a Christian party that sought to get Europe's "Christian roots" into the EU treaty, Merkel's party mentions its commitment to "Christian-Western roots and the ideas of enlightenment."

No to Turkey

The Christian Democrats have also not changed their mind on Turkey's EU membership."We reject full membership because Turkey does not meet the conditions for joining the EU. Also, given the size of the country and its economic structure, the European Union would be overwhelmed," the text says.Instead, the manifesto promotes the idea of strengthening ties between the EU and Turkey, even though Merkel on Sunday admitted that Berlin's idea of a "privileged partnership" has been dismissed by Ankara."You know, if you think you had a good idea but the other side keeps rejecting it, then you reach a point where you don't bring it up again. We have now realised that Turkey doesn't want it," she said.Both countries on Saturday summoned each other's ambassadors after Germany opposed the opening of an EU negotiation chapter with Turkey, due to the strong-handed reaction of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to quell anti-government protests.

EU seeks to look beyond Turkey protests

By RAF CASERT | Associated Press – 37 mins ago JUNE 24,13

LUXEMBOURG (AP) — Turkey's hope of moving to the next stage of its negotiations to join the European Union was kept alive Monday after Germany and others sounded a conciliatory note over the prospect despite the protests that have rocked the government of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Though Germany, which has a sizeable Turkish population, blocked the next step in membership talks last week, the country's Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said discussions should continue."We should not let the dialogue be interrupted or weakened," he said ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers. "It is also important that we also are aware of the strategic and long-term developments."During the meeting of the 27 EU foreign ministers, Germany was looking for a compromise on certain technical issues that will keep the talks on track. The original plans had been to approve the new step in the negotiations at a meeting on Wednesday.Ministers from countries including Sweden and Belgium agreed that longer term considerations beyond the current political strife should be taken during the talks."We are not pursuing policies for the day and for the week, we are pursuing policies for the years and the decades," said Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt. "We can't change the strategy of the European Union, just because there happens to be nervousness in one part or in the other."EU Foreign Affairs chief Catherine Ashton was also seeking to keep the door open."My general view on everything is engagement is a much better option where you possibly can," she said.Berlin's blocking of the decision to open a new chapter in the long-running accession negotiations last week was a blow to Erdogan's government, which already faces increasing international scrutiny over its crackdown."We have to notice at the moment that there has to be some movement from Turkey before starting with negotiations in a new chapter," said Austria's Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger.Any decision on opening a new policy area in negotiations with Turkey needs the unanimous backing of all EU countries. Ireland, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the EU, was seeking to get all member states to follow one line."We are waiting for signals from Ankara that they are going to give people in Turkey really their rights," said Spindelegger.Turkey began EU accession negotiations in 2005, but has made little progress because of its dispute with Cyprus, an EU member, and opposition among some in Europe to admitting a populous Muslim nation into the bloc.The session of EU talks to open next week was to focus on regional policies, one of 35 chapters for aspiring members to address. But some officials expressed concern that such talks could appear to endorse the crackdown on the demonstrations.Despite the concerns, Belgium too insisted on pressing ahead. "We should never close the door," said Foreign Minister Didier Reynders.Asked what Turkey will do if the EU does not open a new chapter in the membership talks this week, Turkey's minister in charge of EU affairs Egemen Bagis said the country was also busy working on the issue.He was quoted as telling Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung daily: "We are working on an answer. I can't tell you more, only so much: Turkey has other options.""We need the EU and the EU needs us," he said. "It is not fair to block the opening of the new chapter in negotiations, which is mainly technical, because of technical constraints."___Associated Press writer Geir Moulson contributed from Berlin___Follow Raf Casert on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/rcasert

Egyptian government faces blame in mob sectarian killing

By Alexander Dziadosz | Reuters – 11 mins ago JUNE 24,13

By Alexander Dziadosz

ZAWIYAT ABU MUSALLEM, Egypt (Reuters) - Egypt's government promised "exemplary punishment" on Monday after the mob killing of four Shi'ite Muslims near Cairo raised fears of wider sectarian bloodshed at a time of grave national crisis.But Shi'ite minority leaders and the liberal opposition accused the government itself, dominated by the Sunni Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, of whipping up sectarian anger over the war in Syria as a means of appeasing its own hardline Salafist allies.President Mohamed Mursi, under pressure from the army to end broader factional violence, condemned "this heinous crime" and promised "swift justice". Al-Azhar, Cairo's leading Sunni religious establishment, said the killings were contrary to the teachings of Islam and urged "harshest punishment".In Sunday's violence in the suburb of Zawiyat Abu Musallem, in sight of the Giza pyramids, a crowd ransacked and torched the house of a family, whose members told Reuters the attack began when a Shi'ite dignitary visited them for a religious festival.They yelled "Infidels!", said one woman who survived and who complained that police failed to intervene during the frenzied violence in the house and rubbish-strewn alley outside. "The Salafis and the Brotherhood - they're the ones who attacked us," added the woman, clearly in shock, sitting in her wrecked home.A video posted online by rights activists showed dozens of men and youths looking on as several others drag the bloodied body of at least one man along a street, one pulling on what may be a rope around his neck. In other sequences from the events on Sunday, a squad of riot police is present and a group of black-robed women on a crowded, narrow street chant "No God but God!"Tensions are running high across Egypt between the government and opponents who plan major rallies this weekend to demand Mursi resign. There has been scattered political violence and the army, which effectively ran Egypt for decades before the 2011 revolution, warned it would step in to quell any unrest.
PRIME MINISTER
A government statement issued for Prime Minister Hisham Kandil said he "strongly condemned the terrible incident" and a accused the attackers of importing "sectarian strife" of a kind alien to Egyptian society. He would "ensure justice is done and that the culprits are made examples of by deterrent punishment".
But Mohamed Ghoneim, a leading figure in a Shi'ite community of a few hundred thousand, was quoted by state newspaper website al-Ahram saying the Muslim Brotherhood was trying to appease hardline Salafist allies by not shielding Shi'ites from attack.Liberal opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood also accused the movement and President Mursi of stirring up sectarian passions by joining this month in Sunni calls for jihad against Syria's president and his Shi'ite allies from Lebanon and Iran.The opposition Dustour Party said in a statement that it saw "this heinous crime as a direct result ... of the disgusting religious hate speech that goes on escalating with the knowledge of the regime and the blessings of the president".But Essam el-Erian, deputy leader of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, insisted the movement condemned the killings - comparing them to the deaths of its own Islamist allies and supporters in factional clashes in recent days."It is forbidden to Muslims to spill Egyptian blood," he wrote on Facebook. "All Egyptian blood - Muslim or Christian, man or woman, Sunni or Shi'ite, civilian or police. Whoever takes part in shedding blood, even in words ... or by hate speech, is taking part in a terrible crime."He said Egypt would not slip into civil war and that the army stood ready to step in and defend the nation.Mursi and the Brotherhood angered their Salafist allies by trying to improve ties with Shi'ite Iran since Mursi was elected a year ago. But as the Syrian civil war has inflamed sectarian passions across the Middle East, Mursi and the Brotherhood joined a Sunni conference in Cairo this month that condemned President Bashar al-Assad and his Shi'ite allies.Mohamed Zarea of the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies, said of the mob violence: "This did not just come from incitement by individuals but also the government. After the Syria conference, there was direct incitement against Shi'ites."(Reporting by Maggie Fick, Shaimaa Fayed, Shadia Nasralla and Alastair Macdonald; Writing by Alastair Macdonald; Editing by Mark Heinrich)

Lebanon clashes rage near mosque; 16 soldiers dead

By SARAH EL DEEB | Associated Press – 1 hr 23 mins ago JUNE 24,13

BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanese army units battled followers of a hard-line Sunni cleric holed up in a mosque complex in a southern port city on Monday, the second day of fighting that has left at least 16 soldiers dead, the military said.The clashes in Sidon, Lebanon's third-largest city some 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Beirut, are the latest bout of violence in Lebanon linked to the conflict in neighboring Syria.They are the bloodiest yet involving the army — at least two of those killed are officers. The Lebanese media has depicted the clashes as a test for the state in containing armed groups that have taken up the cause of the warring sides in Syria, whose sectarian makeup mirrors that of its smaller neighbor.The two days of fighting between troops and armed supporters of Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir have transformed the city, which had been largely spared the violence plaguing border areas near Syria, into a combat zone.The National News Agency said the clashes also left fifty wounded. Hospital officials said at least three of al-Assir's supporters died in the fighting.The military in a statement said the gunmen were using the religious compound to fire on its troops and had taken civilians as shields.Machine-gun fire and rocket-propelled grenade explosions caused panic among residents of Sidon. Residents reported power and water outage.The city streets appeared largely deserted Monday. Local media reported many residents were asking for evacuation from the heavily populated neighborhood around the Bilal bin Rabbah Mosque where al-Assir preaches, and where the fighting has been concentrated. The local municipality said that the city is "a war zone," appealing for a cease-fire to evacuate the civilians and wounded in the area.Many people living on upper floors came down or fled to safer areas, while others were seen running away from fighting areas carrying children. Others remained locked up in their homes or shops, fearing getting caught in the crossfire. Gray smoke billowed over parts of the city.The military appealed to the gunmen to hand themselves in. In its statement, it said that it "reassures all Lebanese that it will continue to uproot the strife and will not stop its operations until security is totally restored to the city and its boroughs, and falls under the rule of law and order."The clashes erupted Sunday in the predominantly Sunni city after troops arrested a follower of al-Assir. The army says supporters of the cleric opened fire without provocation on an army checkpoint.Al-Assir is a virulent critic of the powerful Shiite militant Hezbollah group, which along with its allies dominates Lebanon's government. He supports rebels fighting to oust Syria's President Bashar Assad.A few Hezbollah supporters in the city were briefly drawn into the fight Sunday, firing on al-Assir's supporters. At least one was killed, according to his relatives in the city who spoke anonymously out of concerns for their security.But the group appeared to be staying largely out of the ongoing clashes. Last week, al-Assir supporters fought with pro-Hezbollah gunmen, leaving two killed.Early Monday, al-Assir appealed to his supporters through his Twitter account in other parts of Lebanon to rise to his help, threatening to widen the scale of clashes.The tweets did not give a clear statement on how the battle began. It came after a series of incidents pitting the cleric's followers against other groups in the town, including Hezbollah supporters and the army.The cleric is believed to have hundreds of armed supporters in Sidon involved in the fighting. Dozens of al-Assir's gunmen also partially shut down the main highway linking south Lebanon with Beirut. On Monday, they opened fire in other parts of the city, with local media reporting gunshots in the city's market.Fighting also broke out in parts of Ein el-Hilweh, a teeming Palestinian refugee camp near Sidon, where al-Assir has supporters. Islamist factions inside the camp lobbed mortars at military checkpoints around the camp. Tension also spread to the north in Tripoli, Lebanon's second largest city. Masked gunmen roamed the city center, firing in the air and forcing shops and businesses to shut down in solidarity with al-Assir. Dozens of gunmen also set fire to tires, blocking roads. The city's main streets were emptying out. There was no unusual military or security deployment.Sectarian clashes in Lebanon tied to the Syrian conflict have intensified in recent weeks, especially after Hezbollah sent fighters to support Assad's forces. Most of the rebels fighting to topple Assad are from Syria's Sunni majority, while the President Bashar Assad belongs to the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.Walid al-Moallem, Syria's foreign minister, blamed the violence in Lebanon on the international decision to arm rebels, saying that it will only serve to prolong the fighting in Syria and will impact neighboring Lebanon."What is going in Sidon is very dangerous, very dangerous," he told reporters in Damascus. "We warned since the start that the impact of what happens in Syria on neighboring countries will be grave."
In Syria, activists reported fighting Monday between Syrian troops and rebels in the northern province of Aleppo as well as districts on the edge of the Syrian capital and its suburbs.Clashes in Lebanon have also mostly pitted Sunni against Shiite. The most frequent outbreaks have involved rival neighborhoods in the northern port city of Tripoli, close to the Syrian border.President Michel Suleiman called for an emergency security meeting later Monday.Headlines of Lebanon's newspapers were all dominated by the violence in Sidon, with many seeing it as a test for the state to impose order. "An attempt to assassinate Sidon and the military," read the headline of the daily al-Safir. "Al-Assir crosses the red line," read another headline in al-Jomhouria daily. A third headline in al-Nahar read: "Yesterday war in Sidon. Today, decisiveness or settlement?"

Nik Wallenda plans to tightrope walk across Grand Canyon

By Jordana Divon | Daily Buzz – Tue, 19 Mar, 2013

We can forgive Nik Wallenda for his Grand Canyon ambitions. It must be tough to top his incredible high-wire walk across Niagara Falls last June, a 457-metre-long stunt that attracted millions of eyeballs and an equal amount of “Wows!”But when you hit a career milestone like that at age 33, can you never just sit back on the couch, crack open a can of soda, put up your feet and say: “Man, that was it. Time to spend the next six decades reliving it”? This may have worked for Al Bundy, but the seventh generation daredevil has already grown restless for his next adventure.As he suggested during numerous press interviews last year, Wallenda wants to take on the grandest canyon of them all: Arizona’s 446 kilometer-long Natural Wonder of the World.“It’s just another one in the bucket list. This is a dream of mine, as was Niagara Falls,” he said during a Today Show interview. “It’s just the next chapter in my book, if you will.”He told NBC personalities Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie that he’s set a date to take a long walk on a tight rope - June 23. Wallenda will cross a 500-metre stretch of the canyon, this time with no safety harness like the one those ABC killjoys forced him to wear during the Niagara Falls broadcast.Discovery Channel won the bidding war to air his stunt and they’re considerably less squeamish about the potential consequences of man versus nature.“It was my dream to walk over Niagara Falls since I was about five or six years old, but part of that dream was taken away because I had to wear that harness… The exciting thing about this event is that I will not be wearing any tether or any safety whatsoever,” he said.To prepare for the feat, Wallenda told the news network he’s been training in a facility where he can mimic the Grand Canyon’s exact wind conditions. At 457 metres in the air, it’s the highest walk he’s ever attempted so all the extra prep he can muster is probably wise.Another notable detail involves the exact spot across which he’s chosen to walk. The Toronto Star notes he’ll cross a “remote corner of the canyon over the Little Colorado River Gorge in territory owned by the Navajo Nation.”This select bit of geography helps explain why the 34-year-old has been working on making the Canyon walk happen since 2008: He only recently received the go-ahead from the Navajo Nation, whose territory covers this area, to carry out his challenge.Now that they’re on board, however, a Navajo Nation spokesperson said they’re pretty geared up about the whole thing.“We're really excited to be able to showcase our homelands on such a large scale,” Erny Zah told Reuters (via the Star).“We're hoping that people will enjoy the scenery on television and will want to come out and see the area in person.”

Medicine Hat fears rising river after Calgary floods

10,000 residents ordered to leave their homes, gas shut off in evacuation area

Emergency officials in Medicine Hat, Alta., are reinforcing city infrastructure and forcing a handful of resistant residents out of the mandatory evacuation zone as rising water levels — that have devastated several southern Alberta communities, including large parts of Calgary — reach the South Saskatchewan River.
The river is flowing at 3,900 cubic metres per second, and is expected to peak Monday morning at 9 a.m. MT with flows reaching 5,500 cubic metres per second."It's pretty high now and it's climbing even higher than this," said Norm Boucher, the city's mayor.

Monday's flows would be the highest ever recorded in the 60,000-person community. In 1995, water flows peaked at 5,200 cubic metres per second.Already, workers have installed two pumps at City Hall to remove some seepage, and emergency officials continue to work to secure the city's power and water plants. Floodwaters have started pouring into Lions Park.

Mandatory evacuations

Some 10,000 people have been ordered to leave their homes along the South Saskatchewan's banks. Officials have turned off gas and power to the homes in the evacuation area.But, 10 people are known to be refusing to heed the mandatory evacuation, said Ron Robinson, the director of emergency services. Police are at their homes, attempting to convince them to leave.Under the Emergency Management Act, police have the authority to fine or arrest anyone who refuses to follow a mandatory evacuation, he said."We need to protect lives, even if they don’t want us to."The city opened two emergency care shelters to house people displaced by the floods, and most people are co-operating with the evacuation orders."My whole house, absolutely everything is going," one Medicine Hat resident told CBC News. "Don’t fool around with Mother Nature.""I’m banking on a lot worse than what people are expecting," another of the city's residents told CBC News, adding that some people have been reluctant to leave because they did not face danger in the city's last round of flooding.

Bridge closure may split city

Officials will close three bridges at 10:30 a.m. MT, and there is the possibility they will have to close the Trans-Canada highway bridge.The move would split Medicine Hat into two zones: north and south.
Preparing for this scenario, emergency crews have been dispatched to both sides of the city. About 15,000 emergency workers are on the north side, and about 45,000 are stationed on the south side of the river.
"This is going to be a very challenging time for Medicine Hat," Alberta Premier Alison Redford said on a visit to the city on Saturday evening. "There's going to be a lot of uncertainty and people are going to be afraid. I want people to know we have the opportunity to get through this."

MAJOR FLOODING A map of Canada's biggest floods in the last decade

Across Alberta, some 175,000 people were ordered to leave their homes as the floods ravaged the province's southern communities. At least three people died in High River, which is about 60 kilometres south of Calgary and is believed to be one of the hardest-hit communities in the province.In Calgary, the floodwaters filled the city's iconic Saddledome stadium up to the 10th row of seats and washed out the Calgary stampede grounds. The city's annual stampede is scheduled to run July 5-14.South of Calgary and west of Medincine Hat, the city of Lethbridge and Lethbridge county also feared the floodwaters would pass through. However, both areas ended their states of local emergency on Saturday.Lethbridge has about 84,000 residents, while the county has slightly more than 10,000.

Alberta flood zone development was a mistake, former MLA says

2006 flood report called for the end of land sales in known flood risk areas

By Mark Gollom, CBC News Posted: Jun 23, 2013 5:21 AM ET Last Updated: Jun 23, 2013 12:03 PM ET

A former Alberta MLA who headed up a flood mitigation task force after the 2005 floods says new development should not have been allowed to spring up in the flood zones."The one thing they could have done … they should have stopped building some housing and buildings on the flood plains. And that was a strong part of that report," George Groeneveld, who chaired the flood mitigation committee and report, told CBC News."If you’re going to build in those areas, you take on the responsibility yourself. That to me was the strength of the report, stop building where we shouldn't be building."

The 2006 Provincial Flood Mitigation Report, which was just released last year, recommended a cessation of the sale of Crown lands in known flood risk areas."Selling lands in flood risk areas is the opposite of flood mitigation," the report stated. "The province loses its say in the use of these lands and any protective measures would need to be taken through cumbersome mechanisms such as legislation or regulations.
"Undeveloped flood plains are the natural and most effective form of flood mitigation, and this recommendation will protect those areas."Sale of flood-prone Crown lands creates the potential "for increased financial liability for the province in terms of Disaster Recovery Program funding that must outweigh the short-tem financial benefits of the sale," the report stated.With the demand high to live in such scenic areas, along with a new source of tax revenue from properties, Groeneveld said he understands the pressure on the municipalities to sell."Once developers buy that land, it takes real political will from the municipal governments to shut them down and say 'No, you can't do it,'" said Groeneveld, who served eight years as the Tory MLA for Highwood.The report also recommended that disaster recovery payments for "new inappropriate development in flood risk areas" be prohibited."To me that was the real issue with the report, if you’re going to [build there] the individuals themselves are responsible," he said. "When you have a disaster, don't be looking for the government to bail you out when you build in these areas."As well, the report recommended a notification system be established that informs potential buyers that the property is located in a flood-risk area.Groeneveld said he was disappointed that the report was never released during his time in government and that by the time it was released it was "so far after the fact that a lot of the report had become redundant."The report also recommended the completion of flood risk maps for urban areas in the province; a program to ensure those maps are updated; the identification of priority rural flood risk areas that require flood risk mapping; and making historic flood information available to the public on a website.

IS GERMANY SATANS CITY-PASTOR PAUL BEGLEY SAYS YES

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

GERMANY THE CITY OF SATAN

REVELATION 2:12-13
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

WELL I AGREE WITH PASTOR PAUL BEGLEY WHEN HE SAYS THE WORLD DICTATOR WILL COME FROM GERMANY OR THE EU SOMEWHERE.PAUL SAYS THAT HITLER BROUGHT WORSHIP STONES FROM WERE THEY WERE TO GERMANY.SO GERMANY OR BERLIN TO BE EXACT IS THE SEAT OR CITY OF SATAN.

WELL THIS MAKES TOTAL SENSE SINCE THE BIBLE SAYS THE REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE WILL PRODUCE THE WORLD LEADER OR DICTATOR.

DANIEL 9:26-27
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come (ROMANS IN AD 70) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;(ROMANS DESTROYED THE 2ND TEMPLE IN A.D.70) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he(EU ROMAN, JEWISH DICTATOR) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:( 7 YEARS) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,( 3 1/2 YRS) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

SO PAUL MIGHT BE RIGHT THAT THE WORLD DICTATOR WILL COME FROM GERMANY.IT JUST MAKES SENSE THAT A DEMONIC POSSESSED LEADER WOULD COME FROM THE CITY OF SATAN.AND IT IS A REVIVED ROMAN OR EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRY.SO PAUL IS RIGHT ON WITH THIS IDEA.THIS PUTS GERMANY THE NUMBER 1 COUNTRY OF THE EU WERE THE WORLD DICTATOR COULD COME FROM.WE WILL KNOW IN HEAVEN IF ITS THE ONE BECAUSE THE CHRISTIANS GET RAPTURED TO HEAVEN BEFORE THE WORLD DICTATOR COMES ON THE SCENE.AND WE CHRISTIANS IN HEAVEN WILL SEE THE DICTATOR REVEALED TO THE EARTH AND ALL THE 21 JUDGEMENTS OCCURRING.WE WATCH.THE PEOPLE ON EARTH REPENT OR DO THE SUFFERING.

We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.James Paul Warburg appearing before the Senate on 7th February 1950

Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

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.

Calgary flooding: Four may have died, RCMP says

Harper spokesman Andrew MacDougall tweeted that the prime minister was flying to his hometown of Calgary “to tour flood damage” with Premier Alison Redford, who also lives in the city and represents a constituency there.

Floodwaters are wreaking havoc in Calgary, where firefighters are helping trapped residents escape their homes. Residents say despite losing some precious possessions, they will rebuild their lives.

CALGARY— RCMP say as many as four people may have died in heavy flooding that has swept through much of southern Alberta.Police say two men were seen floating lifeless in the Highwood River near the hard-hit community of High River on Thursday, but no bodies have been found.They also say a woman who was swept away with her camper has not been located.And it's not clear whether a man who was seen falling out of a canoe in the High River area was able to climb back in.Mounties are reminding people to stay away from affected areas until they are part of emergency response efforts.Calgary was swamped Friday by floodwaters that submerged the first 10 rows of the Saddledome hockey arena, displaced tens of thousands of people and forced the evacuation of the downtown core.“Get away from the river now!” a police officer in a helicopter bellowed to residents in the low-lying Calgary neighbourhood of Sunnyside as they surveyed torrents of water that invaded their homes and sent everything from garbage cans to cars floating away.

Communities throughout southern Alberta continued to fight a watery onslaught that began with torrential rains Wednesday night. From Canmore and Banff in the mountain parks through to Calgary and points east, overflowing rivers continued to wash out roads and bridges, inundated homes and turned streets into dirt-brown tributaries thick with smashed trees and furniture.Redford said Harper has already promised she’ll have Ottawa’s full support for rescue and recovery efforts as the province struggles to deal with the deluge.Calgary was dealing with a double whammy of overflowing water from two rivers that run through the city and converge downtown.An estimated 75,000 residents in 25 neighbourhoods along the rivers had already been ordered out of their homes and, early Friday afternoon, that order was extended to the entire downtown.About 350,000 people work in the downtown, but only a small fraction of them were there Friday. Office towers were ordered closed before the high water took hold.City officials confirmed water had swamped the interior of the Saddledome, home to the NHL’s Calgary Flames.It was up to the roofs of the chuckwagon barns at the grounds for the world-famous Calgary Stampede fair, which begins in two weeks.Residents were left to wander and wade through streets waist-deep in water.“In all the years I’ve been down here, I’ve never seen the water this high,” said Sunnyside resident John Doherty.“I’ve got two antique pianos in the garage that I was going to rebuild and they’re probably under water,” he said. “We’re shell-shocked.”About 1,500 evacuees were in emergency shelters, while the rest found shelter with family or friends, said Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi.The flood was forcing emergency plans at the Calgary Zoo, which is situated on an island near where the Elbow and Bow rivers meet. Lions and tigers and other exotic carnivores were being prepared for transfer, if necessary, to prisoner holding cells at the courthouse.

Schools and court trials were cancelled and residents urged to avoid downtown. Transit service in the core was not running. Power and gas were shut off to affected areas, but some homes not in the water zone also lost utilities due to the way the system is set up.Nenshi said the situation was under control as much as it could be.He explained that water levels on the Elbow River had crested and were slowly going down.

“That doesn’t mean there won’t be another peak as surge waters come, but it does mean today, at this moment, we’re slowly seeing the numbers go down,” he told a news conference.He suggested that levels on the Bow River — which, in Nenshi’s words, looked like an ocean — would remain steady for the rest of the day as long as conditions didn’t change.It had been a wet week throughout much of Alberta, but on Wednesday and Thursday, the Bow River Basin was battered with up to 100 millimetres of rain. Environment Canada’s forecast called for more rain in the area, but in much smaller amounts.More than a dozen towns declared states of emergency. Entire communities, including High River and Bragg Creek, near Calgary were under mandatory evacuation orders. The water washed out roads and bridges and flooded underpasses. Trains were running over bridge decks just inches above the water line.No deaths have been reported since torrential rains hit the region Wednesday night, although one woman swept away with a mobile home near Black Diamond was still missing.RCMP Sgt. Patricia Neely said officers were also investigating a report of two males floating near High River.“We had a report, and it was a credible report, that somebody had seen two male bodies in the river. Now we have not recovered any bodies. We have no reports of missing persons, but we are definitely investigating this as a credible sighting.”One of the hardest-hit areas was High River, where it was estimated half the people experienced flooding in their homes. In some houses, water was halfway up the front door.Military helicopters plucked about 30 residents off rooftops. Others were rescued by boat. Some swam for their lives from stranded cars, while still more were ferried to safety in large dump trucks, front-end loaders and combines.Phone service was cut off and cellphone coverage was spotty.A spokesperson for federal Defence Minister Peter MacKay said hundreds of soldiers were being deployed to the flood zone.High River resident Danielle Smith, leader of Alberta’s Opposition Wildrose party, posted on Facebook that she spent much of Thursday sandbagging at the hospital as floods swamped the town.“Rescued by some guys operating a manure spreader at about 7 p.m. We spent two hours picking up people from their homes. It was wild and frightening,” she wrote.Farther west, in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, pictures from the mountain town of Canmore depicted a raging creek-turned-river ripping at house foundations.A spokeswoman for the town, where hundreds were forced from their homes, said Cougar Creek had changed its course several times and was heading to a new neighbourhood.“There’s a lot of debris in the creek and if the debris gets backed up and piles up ... then the creek re-routes itself very quickly around that debris,” said Sally Caudill.Officials were also ordering residents out of parts of Banff.Redford, speaking to reporters in Calgary, promised the province will help flood victims put their lives back together and provide financial aid to communities that need to rebuild.

She called the flooding an “absolutely tragic situation” and admitted to personal concern for her constituency of Calgary Elbow, which lies along one of the rivers raging.Redford said she visited the area Thursday night.

“I took a look at property and community down there, and I’ve got to tell you: standing on a bridge, in the dark, when the power is out, listening to the roar of the river is terrifying.”The premier warned that communities downstream of Calgary were yet to feel the full force of the floodwaters.In anticipation of that, the city of Medicine Hat in the province’s southeast declared a state of emergency. Officials expect the South Saskatchewan River to crest on Saturday.

Rains ease but fears of flooding, washouts, remain in southern B.C.

Chart: Data shows stunning rise of water levels in Calgary over 24 hours

Macpherson said two creeks north of Kaslo are of particular concern in the area where an avalanche of mud and debris after heavy rain and snowmelt rolled over the nearby community of Johnsons Landing last July, killing four people.“I would say there’s a fairly high level of concern as it should be because it has been fairly intensive rain for the last few days but the forecast is better than originally scheduled,” he said Friday, adding the rain was still coming down.“There have been several slides or where creeks have overflowed their banks and created new channels. In the case of Hamil Creek the approach to the bridge on either side was destroyed,” he said.A couple of houses were impacted by the creek.No evacuation alerts have been issued for the Central Kootenay but several remain in effect in the East Kootenay, and Macpherson said people should be ready with bottled water and any necessary medication just in case they are ordered out.The latest declaration of local emergency was issued by the Regional District of East Kootenay just before 11 p.m. Thursday as the Elk River rose rapidly, threatening a number of homes in the Elk Valley.Local states of emergency were declared as a precaution in Fairmont and Fairmont Hot Springs earlier Thursday because of high levels of Fairmont and Cold Springs Creek.A campground and several nearby properties were ordered evacuated outside Windermere and evacuation alerts are in effect for low-lying properties in a small area south of Sparwood, and for a handful of homes along the Elk River south of Fernie.But Environment Canada has now lifted all rainfall warnings across B.C., although it notes 106 millimetres of rain drenched Sparwood over the last 24 hours, with Nelson, Creston and Cranbrook all receiving between 70 and 77 millimetres.
Highway 1 remains closed east of Golden because of numerous washouts in Alberta, while highways 31A and 93 in southeastern B.C. are also severed by washouts.Slides and washouts have reduced Highway 3 outside Sparwood and Highway 31 north of Kaslo to single-lane alternating traffic.
