* Approximately one-quarter of Jews said religion is very important in their lives, compared to 56% among Americans generally.
Among Jewish denominations, the Reform movement remains the largest with
35% of respondents identifying as Reform. The second-largest group is
Jews of no denomination (30%), followed by Conservative (18%) and
Orthodox (10%).As with other studies, the Pew study found
that the Orthodox share of the American Jewish population is likely to
grow because Orthodox Jews tend to be younger and have larger families
than Jews generally.
In addition, while past surveys showed about half of respondents raised
as Orthodox were no longer Orthodox, the Orthodox retention rate appears
to be improving, with just a 17% falloff among 18- to 29-year-olds.Most denominational switching among American Jews, however, remains in the direction of less traditional Judaism.In the Pew survey, 90% of those who identified
as Jews by religion and are raising children said they are raising them
Jewish. By comparison, less than one-third of those who identified
themselves as Jews of no religion are raising their kids as Jewish.Among inmarried Jews, 96% are raising their
children as Jews by religion (as opposed to ethnicity), compared to 45%
among intermarried Jews.On Jewish observance, some 70% of respondents
to the Pew survey said they participated in a Passover seder in 2012 and
53% said they fasted for all or part of Yom Kippur that year. The
numbers represent declines from the 2000-01 National Jewish Population
Survey conducted by the Jewish Federations of North America, which found
seder participation rates at 78% and Yom Kippur fasting at 60%.While most of those surveyed by Pew said they
felt a strong connection to Israel, and 23% reported having visited the
Jewish state more than once, the respondents expressed significant
reservations about the current Israeli government’s policies vis-a-vis
the Palestinians.Forty-four percent said West Bank settlement
construction hurts Israel’s security interests, and only 17% said
continued settlement construction is helpful to Israeli security.
Thirty-eight percent of respondents said the Israeli government is
making a sincere peace effort with the Palestinians.The Pew survey also asked respondents about
what it means to be Jewish, offering several options. The most popular
element was remembering the Holocaust at 73%, followed by leading an
ethical life at 69%.Fifty-six percent cited working for justice
and equality; 43% said caring about Israel; 42% said having a good sense
of humor; and 19% said observing Jewish law.Sixty-two percent of respondents said being
Jewish is primarily a matter of ancestry and culture; 15% said it was
mainly a matter of religion. Most Jews said it is not necessary to
believe in God to be Jewish. In the survey, 60% said a person cannot be
Jewish and believe that Jesus is the messiah.

Tehran (AFP) - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif
accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of lying in his
rejection of Tehran's overtures to the West as a cosmetic "charm
offensive".
"We have seen nothing from Netanyahu but lies and actions to deceive and scare, and international public opinion will not let these lies go unanswered," Zarif said in an interview with Iranian television broadcast on Tuesday.Zarif was speaking from the United Nations, where Netanyahu was set to the address the General Assembly later Tuesday, the same forum where last year he used a cartoon bomb as a prop to underline how close he believed Iran was to producing a nuclear warhead."For 22 years, the Zionist regime has been lying by repeating endlessly that Iran will have the atomic bomb in six months," Zarif said."After all these years, the world must understand the reality of these lies and not allow them to be repeated."Netanyahu headed to the United States determined to use his UN address and a White House meeting with President Barack Obama on Monday to expose what he regards as "sweet talk" from Iran about wanting to allay Western concerns about its nuclear programme.At the White House meeting, Netanyahu said it was vital that "Iran fully dismantles its military nuclear programme".He urged Obama to keep US sanctions in place throughout negotiations between Iran and the major powers over its nuclear programme.Zarif said that "Netanyahu was the most isolated man at the UN" as he prepared to give his General Assembly speech.Foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham echoed Zarif's comments at a press briefing in Tehran on Tuesday.
"The pressure coming from the Zionist regime is down to its isolation and its anger that the policy of the Iranian government has been well received," Afkham said.She said Washington now faced a "major test to show if it can stand up to the warmongers."
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis convenes his parallel
cabinet on Tuesday for a first round of talks on reforming the Catholic
Church, bringing eight cardinals from around the globe together in a
novel initiative to get local church leaders involved in helping make
decisions for the 1.2-billion strong universal Catholic Church.While
the aim is for Francis to get advice, the Argentine Jesuit has already
started making a mark on his own, with important Vatican appointments
already made and clear-cut indications of the direction he wants to take
the church that have elated liberals and alarmed many conservatives.Francis'
recent interview with a Jesuit journal, in which he called for more
balance between the church's rules on issues like abortion,
homosexuality and contraception and the need for it to be a more
welcoming, merciful place for all, has become the must-read mission
statement of his papacy.It's unclear which of those issues
feature in the 80-odd documents that will be considered by the pope and
his so-called "Group of Eight" cardinals meeting behind closed doors
this week. One core agenda item is certain: overhauling the Vatican
bureaucracy, an antiquated administration that is universally disparaged
as unhelpful to both the pope and the bishops it's designed to serve.The
scandal over leaked documents last year showed the Vatican bureaucracy
to be a dysfunctional warren of political infighting and turf battles,
fueling calls for reform from the cardinals who elected Francis pope.Beyond
the scandal, local church leaders have long bemoaned that Vatican
courts take years to process requests for annulments and that Vatican
offices are simply unresponsive to requests from them and lay faithful.
Francis himself is a critic, frequently telling Vatican officials to be
more pastors than bureaucrats. Just this weekend he told the Vatican
police force that it was their job to stop the "devil" from creating
internal wars through Vatican employees spreading gossip."It's a war that you don't fight with weapons, but with your tongue," he said.How
the pope's chosen cardinal cabinet will interact, if at all, with the
existing Vatican cabinet is a topic for much speculation among Vatican
watchers.The Curia is organized according to a 1988 document
"Pastor Bonus," which metes out the work and jurisdictions of the
congregations, councils, courts and other offices that make up the
governance of the church.Honduran Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez
Maradiaga, who heads the pope's advisory commission, said the planned
reform won't just make a few changes to the document."No, that
constitution is over," he told the Catholic channel Salt and Light
Television. "Now it's something different. We need to write something
different. But it's not going to take one month or two months."Indeed, no decisions are expected this week from the talks, and the pope has said reform takes time.That
hasn't stopped reform groups from pinning their hopes for a more
progressive church on Francis and his council of cardinals, who hail
from North and South America, Africa, Asia, Europe and Australia.The
worldwide church reform group We Are Church has written Francis asking
for greater say among lay Catholics about the selection of bishops and
for church officials to be removed from office if they mishandled cases
of sexually abusive priests."Our fondest hope is that Pope
Francis will accept a delegation of our leaders at the Vatican,"
organizer Rene Reid said in a statement. "He has been reaching out to
atheists, gays and others. He wants dialogue. We want that too."Conservatives
and traditionalists, however, have reacted with dismay and downright
alarm at the direction Francis has taken, particularly in the interview
with the Jesuit-run La Civilta Cattolica, in which he bemoaned the
church's obsession with "small-minded rules."American canon
lawyer Edward Peters suggested that Francis wasn't referring to abortion
in rejecting such rules, but rather more superfluous ones like the one
dictating who can march under the flag of certain religious societies on
feast days.Conservative commentator George Neumayr went further,
writing in The American Spectator that Francis was in sore need of
"correcting." Francis' "culturally conditioned liberalism threatens to
undermine the unity and orthodoxy of the faith," he wrote.

The details of the council’s structure have therefore not yet been defined. Since it is a new advisory institution (council), adjustments will be made along the way as needed. The Pope confirmed what he said on a number of occasions and that is, that the more direct involvement of certain members of the Episcopate in advising the Bishop of Rome was something that had been requested during the pre-Conclave discussions. The council only has one Italian member, Cardinal Bertello, who is President of the Vatican City Governorate. The rest are cardinal archbishops of various dioceses across the five continents. Only one of these is Emeritus.The council will not only be addressing the reform of the Roman Curia but will also be responsible for advising on the government of the universal Church. The “G8” will function as a group but members may also be consulted “individually” on matters he deems as important. The chirograph makes no mention of relations with other institutions which is further proof that it is still an open structure in the making, whose purpose is simply to advise and help the Pope.“It will boost the instruments already in place,” said the director of the Holy See Press Office, Fr. Federico Lombardi in a press conference. “You will recall that advice is also given in various meetings such as the meeting of heads of Curia dicasteries and the commissions in charge of looking into the Church’s financial and administrative affairs, such as the Synod of Bishops. Then there are the bishops’ ad limina visits.”“Over the past months, the group of eight cardinals has been gathering proposals and notes from individual advisors working in their respective fields of expertise or directly from the Pope, or from the Roman Curia and the Secretary of State. About 80 documents have been gathered and circulated among the council’s members and its secretary, Bishop Marcelo Semeraro, who has prepared an initial summary.”The group’s various members, who are currently staying in St. Martha’s House, have already held several meetings with Pope Francis so the work in fact began some time ago. In recent days there were some informal meetings which the Pope did not attend. “There was a meeting on Saturday and there will be another one this afternoon,” Fr. Lombardi said. “Official meetings will take place in the private library near the entrance of the papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace. The Pope will attend the meetings that will be held in the morning and in the evening.”Cardinal Óscar Andrés RodrÃguez Madariaga is in charge of coordinating the meetings. The Pope will give a very brief introduction but will mostly be just listening. Each of the eight cardinals will give their input on the various proposals put forth. “After this initial meeting, others will follow, so we cannot expect there to be any definitive conclusions, documents published or big decisions of any kind taken within the next few days.”The “G8|” and their work has nothing to do with the Pope’s pilgrimage to Assisi. “These cardinals are here so I have invited them on this pilgrimage. But the two events are not linked,” Fr. Lombardi said on the Pope’s behalf. No final communiqué is expected to be issued at the end of the council’s three-day meeting.
The Group of Eight Cardinals from all five continents chosen by Pope Francis to advise him on matters relating to the government of the Catholic Church and the reform of the Roman Curia will sit with him in the Vatican for their first plenary meeting from 1-3 October. They will also travel with him to Assisi on October 4, to pray at the tomb of St Francis.It will be the Groups’ first meeting with the Pope since the Vatican announced its establishment on April 13. But there will be other meetings in the future, the Group’s coordinator, Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, stated in Quebec last week, in interviews with Canada’s Catholic television channel -“Salt and Light TV”.There has to be a lot of discussion and a lot of discernment” about the reform of the Curia, he said; “it cannot be done in one month or two.” He predicted that “it will be a long process of discussion and discernment.”He recalled that there have been several reforms of the Roman Curia – the papal civil service, starting way back in the 16th century. More recently, Pope Pius X carried out one at the beginning of the 20th century, and Paul VI conducted another one after the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). John Paul II carried out the last such reform in 1989 and this resulted in the Constitution “Pastor Bonus” (The Good Shepherd) which formalized and codified that reform, Cardinal Maradiaga stated.He revealed that on March 17, four days after his election, Pope Francis invited him to lunch at Santa Marta, the Vatican guesthouse where he resides, and there told him that he was setting up the Group of 8 cardinals from all five continents and that he had chosen him to be the Group’s coordinator.The eight cardinals are: Laurent Monswengo Pasinya ( Democratic Republic of the Congo), Oswald Gracias (India), Reinhard Marx (Germany), Francisco Javier Errazuriz Ossa (Chile), Sean Patrick O’Malley (USA), Giuseppe Bertello (Roman Curia, an Italian), Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga (Coordinator of the Group, from Honduras). An Italian bishop, Marcello Semeraro, is the secretary of the Group.“He had everything in his mind then”, including “the name of the new Secretary of State”, Cardinal Maradiaga told Father Thomas Rosica, CEO of “Salt and Light TV” in a TV interview that was broadcast in Canada last evening, September 29.Since Pope Francis set up the Group, he said its members have been active, “collecting suggestions from all round the world.” Cardinal Francisco Javier Errazuriz Ossa from Chile, for example, “has put together 80 pages of beautiful suggestions” from Latin America. Other sources say Cardinal Sean O’Malley (USA) consulted English speaking cardinals, while Maradiaga met with the Canadian Bishops Conference last week.As a result of these and other consultations, they “have put together” all the suggestions that they collected “around the main themes” and they discovered that “there is a convergence on many of the main subjects”. “One can say that this is the work of the Holy Spirit, not ours”, the cardinal said, given the convergence of so many suggestions from different parts of the world.A Working Paper has been prepared for this week’s meeting, various sources report. It brings together the various proposals and suggestions that have been sent to the Group from different parts of the Catholic world as well as from officials of the Roman Curia, the papal civil service. The Group planned to meet informally in the Vatican on September 30, before joining Pope Francis on October 1-3 for their first plenary session.“There has to be a long discussion and a long discernment.” Maradiaga said. He made very clear that “it’s not just a case of taking the Constitution ‘Pastor Bonus’, and trying to change that. NO! That Constitution is over”, he stated firmly. He made clear that they will not simply engage in a modification or adjustment of that basic 1989 text. “Now we need to write something new,” he said. He predicted that this process will take quite some time.But the work of the Advisory Group does not end with the reform of the Roman Curia, Maradiada said. Their task is much more than that, even this week: it is to advise the Pope regarding the government of the universal Church.In actual fact, though Maradiaga did not say this, Pope Francis has already indicated that he intends to solicit the cardinals’ views on other questions, including that of the Church’s pastoral approach to marriage (which includes the vexed question of divorced and re-married Catholics who are currently excluded from receiving communion). He will also ask them for advice - possibly in this meeting, but certainly in future ones, on the reform of the synod of bishops which is part of the wider question regarding the exercise of collegiality in the Church, and the relationship of the ministry of the Successor of Peter with that of the bishops worldwide in the government of the universal Catholic Church.

Washington (AFP) - Citrus production in Florida, the world's
second largest orange juice supplier after Brazil, is being threatened
by bacteria from Asia that has got scientists racing for a remedy.Known as citrus greening, the bugs cause the fruit to remain bitter and fall from the tree before they can ripen.The bacteria, spread by a tiny insect called an Asian citrus psyllid, deprives the trees of nutrients.The
disease can remain latent for five years before its effects start to
show, and by then it is often too late, said Greg Carlton, chief of the
Bureau of Pest Eradication and Control at the Department of Agriculture
in Florida."Through the years we have seen more and more insects
and disease," said Carlton, who has watched the problem balloon since it
first arose in 2006."Last year about 20 percent of our fruits
dropped on the ground. And we will start the harvest season in a few
weeks -- we are not sure whether we will get that drop again."In
the 1990s, Florida citrus growers produced more than 200 million boxes,
but this year that is expected to drop to 133 million, he said. Official
forecasts are due October 11.Meanwhile, the costs of producing
the fruit have more than doubled, from $800 an acre to $1,900 per acre
in recent years, due to the high costs of controlling the pest.
"If we don't find a cure, it will eliminate the citrus industry in Florida," said Senator Bill Nelson, a Democrat from Florida."And we will end up paying $5 for an orange -- and it'll have to be one imported from someplace else."Nelson helped garner $11 million in federal aid to finance research into the disease.
The citrus industry generates $9 billion a year and nearly 76,000 jobs in Florida, making it an important economic engine for the southern state.The disease has already cost $4.5 billion and 8,200 jobs since 2006, said Michael Sparks, chief executive officer of the Florida Citrus Mutual, citing a study done at the University of Florida."We have been hit hard, but we have put our full faith in our future into research. In fact, in the last seven years we have spent nearly $70 million in research," he told AFP.Growers have cut down vast numbers of infected trees and are using insecticides more frequently, as well as providing nutrients to bolster the trees' health.Sparks described these as "significant" changes that "we believe will keep us on course until a solution has been identified."Florida is not alone in facing heavy losses from citrus greening. Texas and California have also struggled with their oranges, grapefruit and lemons.Greening has also hit Brazil -- the top orange producer in the world -- along with other countries.US and Brazilian experts are sharing resources in the hopes of finding a way to eradicate the bacteria."People are thinking of making engineered plants that are resistant, like GMO-citrus," said Abhaya Dandekar, a molecular biologist at the University of California, Davis."So now we are working to help the plant fight the bacteria.son helped garner $11 million in federal aid to finance research into the disease.The citrus industry generates $9 billion a year and nearly 76,000 jobs in Florida, making it an important economic engine for the southern state.The disease has already cost $4.5 billion and 8,200 jobs since 2006, said Michael Sparks, chief executive officer of the Florida Citrus Mutual, citing a study done at the University of Florida."We have been hit hard, but we have put our full faith in our future into research.

Paris (AFP) - The global war on heroin, cocaine and cannabis
is failing to stem supply, as prices of these drugs have tumbled while
seizures of them have risen, according to a study published Monday.Researchers analysed data from seven government-funded programmes that tracked the illegal drug market over more than a decade.Three
of the programmes monitored international drugs trafficking; three
focused on the United States; and one tracked the drugs business in
Australia.The prices of heroin, cocaine and cannabis tumbled by
81 percent, 80 percent and 86 percent respectively between 1990 and 2007
in the United States when adjusted for inflation, the researchers
found.Over the same period, the average purity of these drugs rose by 60 percent, 11 percent and 161 percent respectively.In 18 European countries, the street price of cocaine and heroin fell by 51 and 74 percent between 2000 and 2009.Neither the purity of drugs seized in Europe nor the price of cannabis on the continent was given in the study.In
Australia, meanwhile, the inflation-adjusted price of cocaine fell by
14 percent between 2000 and 2010, and that of heroin and cannabis by 49
percent."During this time, seizures of these drugs in major
domestic markets generally increased," said the study's authors, led by
Evan Wood of the Urban Health Research Initiative in Vancouver, Canada."With
few exceptions... illegal drug prices have generally decreased while
drug purity has generally increased since 1990," they added.The
global supply of illicit drugs had likely not been reduced in the last
two decades, the study said, and the availability of cannabis and
opiates like heroin may even have increased."These findings
suggest that expanding efforts at controlling the global illegal drug
market though law enforcement are failing," said the paper published in
the open-access journal BMJ Open.The findings coincide with debate in several countries about whether to loosen laws on certain drugs.Uruguay
in August took a step towards becoming the world's first nation to
produce and distribute marijuana after its lower house of parliament
approved a bill putting control of the drug in government hands.In
a 2011 report, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) estimated the
global illegal drug trade to be worth at least $350 billion (259 billion
euros) annually.

SEATTLE (AP) — An early winter storm dumped a record amount
of rain in the Pacific Northwest, knocked out power to thousands and
likely churned up a rare tornado Monday that ripped a hole in the roof
on an industrial plant near Seattle.The most dramatic damage was
at an industrial park in Frederickson, south of Tacoma. As thunder and
lightning flashed, the wind uprooted trees and tore a jagged hole in the
roof of the Northwest Door manufacturing plant."It looked from
the inside like a wave going along. You could actually see the roof
flexing," Northwest Door President Jeff Hohman said.Witnesses reported seeing a tornado in the area at the time, and the Weather Service sent a team to Frederickson to investigate.
Washington may get a tornado or two every year, but they are usually small. One of the largest was an F3 in 1972 in Vancouver that killed six people.No one was injured in Monday. About 100 employees evacuated and the business closed while inspectors assess a 40-by-40-foot hole in the roof.The wind also caused damage at a nearby Boeing plant, mostly in the parking lot, spokesman Doug Alder said. The storm blew out the windows of about two dozen cars and knocked down fences, power lines and trees. Some tiles were blown off the Boeing roof. Nobody was injured and there wasn't any damage to airplane parts or equipment.
Several thousand employees work at the Frederickson site, which makes parts and sections for just about every Boeing airplane, including the vertical tails for the 777 and 787.Parts of the Northwest got more rain in a day or two over the weekend than typically falls in the entire month."We basically had conditions well off shore that were very reminiscent of late fall-early winter," said Dana Felton, meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Seattle.With Mondays' precipitation still to be added, it's been the wettest September on record in Olympia and the second-wettest in Seattle.Nearly 8 inches fell in Olympia, topping a 1978 record and swamping the usual 1.7 inches that fall in that time, the National Weather Service said. Sea-Tac Airport's September total of 5.6 inches came second to a 1978 record, while downtown Portland saw 6.2 inches — the most since record-keeping began in 1872.Puget Sound Energy had about 12,000 customers out of service late Sunday, the Bellevue-based utility reported. Seattle City Light reported it had about 3,200 customers out of service overnight. Portland General Electric had more than 90,000 customers out of power since the storm began.___Tim Fought in Portland contributed to this report.
DENVER (Reuters) - Mountain rescuers were dispatched on
Monday to save at least five people buried by rubble from a rock slide
in the Colorado Rockies southwest of Denver, officials said.The Chaffee County sheriff's department was alerted late Monday
morning by an emergency-911 call from a woman reporting she had been
struck in the head by a falling rock and that there five to seven people
trapped in the avalanche, county spokeswoman Monica Broaddus told
Reuters.She said rescue efforts were under way to reach five individuals
still buried by in slide whose conditions were not immediately known.A sixth victim, described as a 13-year-old girl, was plucked from
the rubble by a sheriff's deputy who was one of the first to arrive on
the scene, Broaddus said. The girl was flown by helicopter to a
Denver-area hospital about 130 miles away, the spokeswoman said.No further details on the circumstances of the slide or the conditions of the victims were immediately available.The avalanche occurred in a rugged backcountry area popular with
hikers in the vicinity of the 14,000-foot (4,267-meter) tall Mount
Princeton, one of the so-called Collegiate Peaks in Sawatch Range of the
Rockies.(Reporting by Keith Coffman; Writing by Steve Gorman; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)

MK Shaked Blasts Israeli Politicians for J-Street Attendance
"Your participation in the conference grants legitimacy to extreme and unbalanced criticism of Israel," warns Bayit Yehudi MK..-By Gil Ronen-First Publish: 10/1/2013, 2:28 PM-Israelnationalnews
Ayelet Shaked-Artium Degel
MK Ayelet Shaked (Bayit Yehudi/Jewish Home) had tough words Tuesday
for the far-left J-Street lobby organization, and for fellow
parliamentarians who attended a conference held by the group."In the past few days, the
J-Street organization has held a conference in Washington," MK Shaked
wrote on Facebook. "For those who are not familiar with it – the
organization was established as a counterweight to AIPAC, the
pro-Israeli lobby, by elements in US Jewry who claimed that AIPAC toes a
line that identifies with Israel too much.""J Street has taken upon itself the role of Israel's loudest critic," she charged."Among its actions are the
leading of a media campaign against the placing of sanctions on Iran by
the US Congress; denunciation of the Cast Lead operation and its
definition as 'an illegitimate and even criminal operation'; defining
the takeover of the Marmara as 'brutal and cruel'; support for the US
administration's demand to freeze construction in Jerusalem; pressure on
the US administration not to veto the proposal by the Palestinian
Authority to denounce Israel for construction in Judea and Samaria and
more.""In other words – you understand whom we are dealing with here," she said to her followers."To the conference held by
this group – for which the definition of radical leftist is an
understatement – came several Knesset Members, like Justice Minister
Tzipi Livni, Yitzhak Vaknin of Shas, and Tzachi Hanegbi of Likud."And I am asking them – dear
MKs, are these your friends? Are these the elements with whom you choose
to identify? Your participation in the conference grants legitimacy to
extreme and unbalanced criticism of Israel."Shaked added that it is
clear, today, that the Obama administration's support for Israel is
"less than absolute," and accused the MKs who attended the conference of
"strengthening those who led Obama to these delusional places."

Iran FM accuses Israel's Netanyahu of 'lies'
"We have seen nothing from Netanyahu but lies and actions to deceive and scare, and international public opinion will not let these lies go unanswered," Zarif said in an interview with Iranian television broadcast on Tuesday.Zarif was speaking from the United Nations, where Netanyahu was set to the address the General Assembly later Tuesday, the same forum where last year he used a cartoon bomb as a prop to underline how close he believed Iran was to producing a nuclear warhead."For 22 years, the Zionist regime has been lying by repeating endlessly that Iran will have the atomic bomb in six months," Zarif said."After all these years, the world must understand the reality of these lies and not allow them to be repeated."Netanyahu headed to the United States determined to use his UN address and a White House meeting with President Barack Obama on Monday to expose what he regards as "sweet talk" from Iran about wanting to allay Western concerns about its nuclear programme.At the White House meeting, Netanyahu said it was vital that "Iran fully dismantles its military nuclear programme".He urged Obama to keep US sanctions in place throughout negotiations between Iran and the major powers over its nuclear programme.Zarif said that "Netanyahu was the most isolated man at the UN" as he prepared to give his General Assembly speech.Foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham echoed Zarif's comments at a press briefing in Tehran on Tuesday.
"The pressure coming from the Zionist regime is down to its isolation and its anger that the policy of the Iranian government has been well received," Afkham said.She said Washington now faced a "major test to show if it can stand up to the warmongers."

Francis officially establishes “Council of Cardinals” to advise on Church government and Curia reform
Francis officially establishes his "G8" group of advisors
Francis has issued a chirograph officially establishing the eight-member Council of Cardinals to help him govern the Church and reform the Roman Curia
andrea tornielli rome Francis has issued a papal chirograph officially announcing the establishment of his “G8”, the group of eight cardinals who will have the task of advising the Pope on the government of the universal Church and the revision of the Apostolic Constitution Pastor Bonus on the Roman Curia.The document published today and dated 28 September, mentions the discussions held during the pre-Conclave General Congregations: “Among the suggestions that emerged during the course of the General Congregations of Cardinals prior to the Conclave, was the convenience in instituting a small group of Members of the Episcopate, from different parts of the world, that the Holy Father could consult with, either individually or collectively, on particular issues,” the chirograph reads.In the chirograph, Francis states: “Now, after mature reflection, I consider it opportune, through this Chirograph, to officially institute as a " Council of Cardinals ‘, whose task is to help in the government of the universal Church and to study a draft revision of the Apostolic Constitution Pastor bonus on the Roman Curia.” The Pope confirmed that the council “will be composed of the same persons mentioned above and may be consulted, both individually and as a Council, on matters I feel worthy of attention. Said Council, the number of components of which I reserve the right to configure as deemed adequate, will be a further expression of Episcopal communion and auxiliary service that the Bishops around the world can offer to munus petrinum.”The details of the council’s structure have therefore not yet been defined. Since it is a new advisory institution (council), adjustments will be made along the way as needed. The Pope confirmed what he said on a number of occasions and that is, that the more direct involvement of certain members of the Episcopate in advising the Bishop of Rome was something that had been requested during the pre-Conclave discussions. The council only has one Italian member, Cardinal Bertello, who is President of the Vatican City Governorate. The rest are cardinal archbishops of various dioceses across the five continents. Only one of these is Emeritus.The council will not only be addressing the reform of the Roman Curia but will also be responsible for advising on the government of the universal Church. The “G8” will function as a group but members may also be consulted “individually” on matters he deems as important. The chirograph makes no mention of relations with other institutions which is further proof that it is still an open structure in the making, whose purpose is simply to advise and help the Pope.“It will boost the instruments already in place,” said the director of the Holy See Press Office, Fr. Federico Lombardi in a press conference. “You will recall that advice is also given in various meetings such as the meeting of heads of Curia dicasteries and the commissions in charge of looking into the Church’s financial and administrative affairs, such as the Synod of Bishops. Then there are the bishops’ ad limina visits.”“Over the past months, the group of eight cardinals has been gathering proposals and notes from individual advisors working in their respective fields of expertise or directly from the Pope, or from the Roman Curia and the Secretary of State. About 80 documents have been gathered and circulated among the council’s members and its secretary, Bishop Marcelo Semeraro, who has prepared an initial summary.”The group’s various members, who are currently staying in St. Martha’s House, have already held several meetings with Pope Francis so the work in fact began some time ago. In recent days there were some informal meetings which the Pope did not attend. “There was a meeting on Saturday and there will be another one this afternoon,” Fr. Lombardi said. “Official meetings will take place in the private library near the entrance of the papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace. The Pope will attend the meetings that will be held in the morning and in the evening.”Cardinal Óscar Andrés RodrÃguez Madariaga is in charge of coordinating the meetings. The Pope will give a very brief introduction but will mostly be just listening. Each of the eight cardinals will give their input on the various proposals put forth. “After this initial meeting, others will follow, so we cannot expect there to be any definitive conclusions, documents published or big decisions of any kind taken within the next few days.”The “G8|” and their work has nothing to do with the Pope’s pilgrimage to Assisi. “These cardinals are here so I have invited them on this pilgrimage. But the two events are not linked,” Fr. Lombardi said on the Pope’s behalf. No final communiqué is expected to be issued at the end of the council’s three-day meeting.

Cardinal Maradiaga: the reform of the Roman Curia will be a "long process"
Cardinal Maradiaga
The coordinator of the Group of 8 Cardinals set up by Pope Francis to advise him on the government of the Catholic Church and Reform of the Roman Curia, speaks about their task on the eve of their October 1-3 meeting
Gerard O'Connell RomeThe Group of Eight Cardinals from all five continents chosen by Pope Francis to advise him on matters relating to the government of the Catholic Church and the reform of the Roman Curia will sit with him in the Vatican for their first plenary meeting from 1-3 October. They will also travel with him to Assisi on October 4, to pray at the tomb of St Francis.It will be the Groups’ first meeting with the Pope since the Vatican announced its establishment on April 13. But there will be other meetings in the future, the Group’s coordinator, Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, stated in Quebec last week, in interviews with Canada’s Catholic television channel -“Salt and Light TV”.There has to be a lot of discussion and a lot of discernment” about the reform of the Curia, he said; “it cannot be done in one month or two.” He predicted that “it will be a long process of discussion and discernment.”He recalled that there have been several reforms of the Roman Curia – the papal civil service, starting way back in the 16th century. More recently, Pope Pius X carried out one at the beginning of the 20th century, and Paul VI conducted another one after the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). John Paul II carried out the last such reform in 1989 and this resulted in the Constitution “Pastor Bonus” (The Good Shepherd) which formalized and codified that reform, Cardinal Maradiaga stated.He revealed that on March 17, four days after his election, Pope Francis invited him to lunch at Santa Marta, the Vatican guesthouse where he resides, and there told him that he was setting up the Group of 8 cardinals from all five continents and that he had chosen him to be the Group’s coordinator.The eight cardinals are: Laurent Monswengo Pasinya ( Democratic Republic of the Congo), Oswald Gracias (India), Reinhard Marx (Germany), Francisco Javier Errazuriz Ossa (Chile), Sean Patrick O’Malley (USA), Giuseppe Bertello (Roman Curia, an Italian), Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga (Coordinator of the Group, from Honduras). An Italian bishop, Marcello Semeraro, is the secretary of the Group.“He had everything in his mind then”, including “the name of the new Secretary of State”, Cardinal Maradiaga told Father Thomas Rosica, CEO of “Salt and Light TV” in a TV interview that was broadcast in Canada last evening, September 29.Since Pope Francis set up the Group, he said its members have been active, “collecting suggestions from all round the world.” Cardinal Francisco Javier Errazuriz Ossa from Chile, for example, “has put together 80 pages of beautiful suggestions” from Latin America. Other sources say Cardinal Sean O’Malley (USA) consulted English speaking cardinals, while Maradiaga met with the Canadian Bishops Conference last week.As a result of these and other consultations, they “have put together” all the suggestions that they collected “around the main themes” and they discovered that “there is a convergence on many of the main subjects”. “One can say that this is the work of the Holy Spirit, not ours”, the cardinal said, given the convergence of so many suggestions from different parts of the world.A Working Paper has been prepared for this week’s meeting, various sources report. It brings together the various proposals and suggestions that have been sent to the Group from different parts of the Catholic world as well as from officials of the Roman Curia, the papal civil service. The Group planned to meet informally in the Vatican on September 30, before joining Pope Francis on October 1-3 for their first plenary session.“There has to be a long discussion and a long discernment.” Maradiaga said. He made very clear that “it’s not just a case of taking the Constitution ‘Pastor Bonus’, and trying to change that. NO! That Constitution is over”, he stated firmly. He made clear that they will not simply engage in a modification or adjustment of that basic 1989 text. “Now we need to write something new,” he said. He predicted that this process will take quite some time.But the work of the Advisory Group does not end with the reform of the Roman Curia, Maradiada said. Their task is much more than that, even this week: it is to advise the Pope regarding the government of the universal Church.In actual fact, though Maradiaga did not say this, Pope Francis has already indicated that he intends to solicit the cardinals’ views on other questions, including that of the Church’s pastoral approach to marriage (which includes the vexed question of divorced and re-married Catholics who are currently excluded from receiving communion). He will also ask them for advice - possibly in this meeting, but certainly in future ones, on the reform of the synod of bishops which is part of the wider question regarding the exercise of collegiality in the Church, and the relationship of the ministry of the Successor of Peter with that of the bishops worldwide in the government of the universal Catholic Church.

Asian bacteria threatens Florida oranges
"If we don't find a cure, it will eliminate the citrus industry in Florida," said Senator Bill Nelson, a Democrat from Florida."And we will end up paying $5 for an orange -- and it'll have to be one imported from someplace else."Nelson helped garner $11 million in federal aid to finance research into the disease.
The citrus industry generates $9 billion a year and nearly 76,000 jobs in Florida, making it an important economic engine for the southern state.The disease has already cost $4.5 billion and 8,200 jobs since 2006, said Michael Sparks, chief executive officer of the Florida Citrus Mutual, citing a study done at the University of Florida."We have been hit hard, but we have put our full faith in our future into research. In fact, in the last seven years we have spent nearly $70 million in research," he told AFP.Growers have cut down vast numbers of infected trees and are using insecticides more frequently, as well as providing nutrients to bolster the trees' health.Sparks described these as "significant" changes that "we believe will keep us on course until a solution has been identified."Florida is not alone in facing heavy losses from citrus greening. Texas and California have also struggled with their oranges, grapefruit and lemons.Greening has also hit Brazil -- the top orange producer in the world -- along with other countries.US and Brazilian experts are sharing resources in the hopes of finding a way to eradicate the bacteria."People are thinking of making engineered plants that are resistant, like GMO-citrus," said Abhaya Dandekar, a molecular biologist at the University of California, Davis."So now we are working to help the plant fight the bacteria.son helped garner $11 million in federal aid to finance research into the disease.The citrus industry generates $9 billion a year and nearly 76,000 jobs in Florida, making it an important economic engine for the southern state.The disease has already cost $4.5 billion and 8,200 jobs since 2006, said Michael Sparks, chief executive officer of the Florida Citrus Mutual, citing a study done at the University of Florida."We have been hit hard, but we have put our full faith in our future into research.

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.

Storm knocks out power, swamps Pacific Northwest
Washington may get a tornado or two every year, but they are usually small. One of the largest was an F3 in 1972 in Vancouver that killed six people.No one was injured in Monday. About 100 employees evacuated and the business closed while inspectors assess a 40-by-40-foot hole in the roof.The wind also caused damage at a nearby Boeing plant, mostly in the parking lot, spokesman Doug Alder said. The storm blew out the windows of about two dozen cars and knocked down fences, power lines and trees. Some tiles were blown off the Boeing roof. Nobody was injured and there wasn't any damage to airplane parts or equipment.
Several thousand employees work at the Frederickson site, which makes parts and sections for just about every Boeing airplane, including the vertical tails for the 777 and 787.Parts of the Northwest got more rain in a day or two over the weekend than typically falls in the entire month."We basically had conditions well off shore that were very reminiscent of late fall-early winter," said Dana Felton, meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Seattle.With Mondays' precipitation still to be added, it's been the wettest September on record in Olympia and the second-wettest in Seattle.Nearly 8 inches fell in Olympia, topping a 1978 record and swamping the usual 1.7 inches that fall in that time, the National Weather Service said. Sea-Tac Airport's September total of 5.6 inches came second to a 1978 record, while downtown Portland saw 6.2 inches — the most since record-keeping began in 1872.Puget Sound Energy had about 12,000 customers out of service late Sunday, the Bellevue-based utility reported. Seattle City Light reported it had about 3,200 customers out of service overnight. Portland General Electric had more than 90,000 customers out of power since the storm began.___Tim Fought in Portland contributed to this report.
