Hundreds dead after cyclone rips through Bangladesh by Salim Mia and Helen Rowe NOV 16,07

DHAKA (AFP) - More than 600 people were Friday confirmed dead and one report put the toll at over 1,100 after a powerful cyclone smashed impoverished Bangladesh with huge waves, severe winds and torrential rains. Tens of thousands were also left homeless when Cyclone Sidr, described as the worst storm in years to hit disaster-prone Bangladesh, crashed into the southwestern coast Thursday night before sweeping north over the capital Dhaka.

The private UNB news agency, quoting unofficial local sources, said more than 1,100 lives had been lost.Government official Kazi Mokhlechur Rahman put the confirmed death toll at 612 and climbing with 192 people unaccounted for.But the full extent of the disaster remained unclear because communications in some of the worst-hit areas were down.Earlier, a government official said reports were yet to come in from two districts known to have been worst hit -- southern Barguna and Jhalokati.We are expecting many dead bodies will be found there, said disaster management official Nahid Sultana.Wind speeds of 220-240 kilometres (140-155 miles) an hour were recorded as the storm -- visible from space as a huge swirling white mass that moved north from the Bay of Bengal -- left a trail of devastation in poor rural areas.Most of the victims were killed when trees crushed flimsy homes made from bamboo and tin. In Madaripur district between Dhaka and the southwest coast, an AFP reporter saw devastated villages, one after the other.Local businessman Mollik Tariqur Rahman told AFP that 80 percent of the homes in his village had been flattened.

I cannot describe how devastating it was. It was like doomsday, the most frightening five hours of my life. I thought I would never see my family again, he said.A navy spokesman said five ships had been dispatched with supplies of food, medicine and relief materials.The United States expressed its deepest sympathy for the victims of the cyclone and offered to join international efforts to provide emergency relief.The European Commission said it was sending 1.5 million euros (2.2 million dollars) in emergency relief aid to the country.Preliminary indications are that the most pressing needs will be food, safe drinking water, emergency shelter, clothing, blankets and medicine, Commission spokesman John Clancy told journalists in Brussels.Rescue workers, however, had yet to reach many remote areas, and roads, telephone lines and power supplies were also cut.The electricity went off across the entire country, said Mohammad Iqbal Hossen of Bangladesh's energy ministry.

The storm forced hundreds of thousands of people to spend the night bunkered down in a network of special shelters set up by the government to avoid the mass casualties of previous disasters.
Experts described Sidr as similar in strength to the 1991 storm that triggered a tidal wave, killing an estimated 138,000 people. Another cyclone in 1970 killed up to half a million people. The head of the Bangladeshi meteorological department, Samarendra Karmakar, said the shelters as well as an evacuation programme should spare the country mass casualties. We are expecting less casualties this time because the government took early measures. We alerted people to be evacuated early, he said. Neighbouring India, which was also bracing for disaster, escaped the worst.
It's a great relief to us, said the relief minister in India's eastern state of West Bengal, Mortaza Hossain. About 100,000 villagers in coastal areas of West Bengal were returning home Friday despite heavy rain after being evacuated to temporary camps, he said. The state's finance minister, Asim Dasgupta, said one man was killed and over a thousand mud huts destroyed on the Indian side. The storm, which reached Dhaka early Friday, later weakened and crossed the northeastern Sylhet district. It was expected to progressively lose strength before ending on Saturday just south of the mountain kingdom of Bhutan.

The CARMEL ALERT Nov 16th 2007
A compilation of news reports from the past week for the information of those committed to praying for Israel and the salvation of the Jewish people.

Israel is facing the most decisive 2 months of its modern history. If the proposed November peace summit comes to pass and the plans of Bush & Rice are initiated, the country as we know may well be destroyed, and the return of Yeshua to an undivided Jewish Jerusalem will be seriously delayed. As believers we are called to hasten the day of His return ( 2 Pet 3:12 ) by praying for the full restoration of Israel. Therefore until the November summit is cancelled or fails, I will be focusing on this issue in the Carmel Alert. Please follow these articles carefully and please pray fervently for the total cancellation / failure of the Bush / Rice initiative. - David

David's Comment: Truth Springs From the Earth
Ps 85:11 Truth springs from the earth; and righteousness looks down from heaven. (NAS)

One of the most repeated claims heard from the Islamic world over the 40 years since Israel regained authority over East Jerusalem is that there never was a Jewish Temple on Mt Moriah. Currently one of the demands that PA leader Mahmud Abbas will bring to the negotiating table if the Annapolis takes place, is that Israel surrender the entire Temple Mount, including the Judaism's most Holy site, the Western Wall or the 'Kotel' as it called in Hebrew. That means Jews will be banned from praying at the wall.

Last week Josie and I had the pleasure of guiding some friends from NZ around the key Biblical sites in Jerusalem and Northern Israel. One of the 'must visits' while in the Holy Land is the tunnel that runs beneath the Kotel, or the Western Wall of the Temple Mount. The Kotel is probably one of the most identifiable places in the world today. Who hasn't seen a photograph or video footage of religious Jews praying in front of the 100 meter length of the remaining blocks of the Temple wall ? Also evident in most scenes of the Kotel, is the golden dome of the Al Aksa mosque that sits on top of the mountain at the position of both Jewish Temples.

This is undoubtably the most contested piece of real estate in the history of the world. Its strategic relevance goes right back into the annuls of man's existence on the earth. At YHVH's explicit instructions, the first Temple was built there (2 Chron 7:12 ). Further back in history, YHVH instructed Abraham to bring lay down his son Isaac as a sacrifice at the top of the same mountain - Mt Moriah.

And going right back to the beginning of time God created Adam and Eve at the same location. What ? The Garden of Eden was in Jerusalem ? Yes, I believe it was. For a long time I thought I was the only person in the world who believed that. I based my assumption on 2 Chronicles 7:16 where God tells Solomon that His Name shall dwell there forever. Then I was speaking with a sister from Canada and she told me she also believed the Garden of Eden was on Mt Moriah, however for a different reason - in Genesis 2:9 we see the Tree of Life is there in the Garden of Eden and in the book of Revelation 22, we see the Tree of Life is on the side of the river that flows through Jerusalem. Then on a recent visit to the Western Wall area, I discovered a plaque that said the was the place where God created Adam and Eve.

As I wrote above, the Temple Mount is the most contested piece of real estate in the history of the world. For religious Jews it is their holiest site and they long for the day the Temple is rebuilt. Islam claims that Mohammed rose up to Heaven from the rock that the Al Aksa Mosque is built over. Even today the Muslims continue to deny that there ever was a Jewish Temple there. However the Truth Springs from the Earth.

The portion of the Kotel that we see in the pictures is only a very small part of it. In fact it is not the original wall but was built by the Crusaders. The original wall is 15 meters below the current ground level. Several years ago the area was excavated and now a tunnel runs along the length of the real wall. Josie and I took our visitors down there last week and once again we were overwhelmed by the enormity of the Temple compound before it was destroyed. As the experts continue to dig and explore, more and more of the Temple is uncovered. Almost daily the truth is springing forth from what has been buried beneath the earth

The primary purpose of the Temple was to glorify and worship YHVH. Even though the archeological world doesn't acknowledge it, YHVH's Temple was one of the wonders of the ancient world. But the saga of the Temple is not just about the past. It is very much about the present, as all of the nations of the world gather like vultures to once again separate the Jewish people from the Temple Mount. And what it is really all about is the future. The future of the Temple Mount is the re-establishment of the Kingdom of YHVH upon the Earth and the glorious coronation of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords - Yeshua Ha Maschiach.

No wonder the Devil is raging in the Middle East and all over the Earth. He is deceiving the secular world and many in the Church are also being deceived by the father of lies, but when it comes to who has the right to the Temple Mount .......... the Truth Springs From the Earth.

The Lord bless you as you bless Israel by standing in defense of her right to exist on the land given to the Jewish people by the God of Israel . Lets pray that Israel will turn back to their God. Do not be silent, but share this with your fellow Christians, share it with your pastors, and with anyone you have a chance to speak to. Lets also pray for that breakthrough to the Muslims, and please remember to pray for our son Jordan, and all of his fellow soldiers in the IDF.

Shabbat Shalom ... David & Josie SILVER

Feds raid Liberty Dollar offices
Gold, silver for 'private voluntary barter currency' confiscated
Posted: November 16, 2007 - WorldNetDaily.com

A company that makes and distributes Liberty Dollar coins in various denominations has announced it is shut down – for now – after a raid by FBI and U.S. Secret Service agents in which documents, records, coins and gold and silver were confiscated.
Liberty Dollar produces and distributes the coins as private voluntary barter currency, or coins that compete with the Federal Reserve notes used in general economic circulation. In a news release signed by Bernard von NotHaus, the monetary architect for the company in Evansville, Ind., officials announced yesterday a dozen FBI and Secret Service agents raided the office. For approximately six hours they took all the gold, all the silver, all the platinum, and almost two tons of Ron Paul Dollars that were just delivered last Friday. They also took all the files and computers and froze our bank accounts, the letter said.

The Peace Dollar, by Liberty Dollar

We have no money. We have no products. We have no records to even know what was ordered or what you are owed. We have nothing but the will to push forward and overcome this massive assault on our liberty and our right to have real money as defined by the U.S. Constitution, it continued. The company said it did not know when, if ever, it would be able to resume filling orders. It also said a special website had been set up for those interested to band together for a class-action suit.We cannot allow the government to steal our money, the letter said. U.S. Secret Service and Federal Bureau of Investigation officials both declined comment on the issue, referring WND to the U.S. Attorney's office in North Carolina. There a spokeswoman told WND she had no information on the public record she could provide. Asked if that meant something had occurred, but officials were withholding information, she responded, Yes.

Company information says Von NotHaus developed the Liberty Dollar in 1998 as an inflation-proof alternative currency to Federal Reserve Notes. The U.S. government, however, historically has taken a dim view of anything monetary that could be perceived as substituting for Federal Reserve Notes. Authorities have attacked such alternatives as counterfeiting, while supporters of such bartering tool attack the Federal Reserve Notes as fakes. That opinion was shared by Lance Haverkamp, who joined in a forum at the Courier-Press newspaper on the issue. Do you realize how stupid it is to say the green stuff is 'real' and the gold & silver is 'fake'… You must work for the government! he wrote.

The organization explained its position like this:

It's incredible how few people know the facts about the Federal Reserve. The organization chaired by Ben Bernanke is not Federal it is instead a cabal of private and international banks that does not answer to the United States government. And while there is some precious metal stored in Fort Knox, it doesn't back the debt based 'fiat' U.S. dollar that they issue, because nothing backs it except your trust in the system! Even a casual look at the Fed's history leads one to wonder how an institution that profits mightily from its own policies of victimizing Americans has maintained control over the money of the wealthiest nation on Earth. For those who have made a serious inquiry, the Federal Reserve is shadowed in deceptive origins and fraudulent policies.

Its alternative is a series of coins made of precious metals that can be exchanged for an assigned dollar amount. Over its history, the company has produced the California Bear, Chambersburg Dollar, Evansville Dollar, Hawaii Dala, Peace Dollar and the new Ron Paul Dollar, among others. The company claims legal opinions that its products are not illegal, and posts testimonies from those who have used the Liberties. I am writing this to Liberty Dollar in hopes that it can be used to help with support, wrote a fan, M. Symonds, of Dallas, Texas, who reported using the coinage for $700 expenses on a trip to Austin. My entire trip was funded with The Liberty Dollar. It used it everywhere I went. … I am here to tell you that the major chains and businesses will accept them. Here is a list of some of the places I used them: Joe's Fina Mart, Placido, Texas; James Texaco, Lolita, Texas; Jack In The Box, Austin, Texas; Chevron, Schulenburg, Texas; McDonalds, Port Lavaca, Texas, Wal-Mart, Port Lavaca, Texas; Reeds Grocery, Odem, Texas…The only catch is that as the Liberty Dollar is voluntary, your bank may not accept it for deposit, the company website said. Of course, this also means that money cannot be siphoned away from your community by big box retailers. The Liberty Dollar is designed to stay in your community of origin for the advantage of the community.

For example, a construction worker is paid a $20 Liberty for services, he then takes it to a grocery story for $20 in groceries. The store owner pays a local utility bill with the coin, and that coin then goes to a utility company employee for wages. That employee then pays it back to the construction worker for a remodeling project.

The Crash of 2008?
November 15, 2007 - 7:55 p.m. Eastern

In March 1929, the Harding-Coolidge era came to an end. The eight years had witnessed the greatest peacetime prosperity of any nation in history: America in the Roaring 20s. Early that March, Calvin Coolidge handed the presidency over to Herbert Hoover, who had just pulled off a third straight Republican landslide. I do not choose to run, said Coolidge, who could easily have won a second full term. Silent Cal went home. Hoover, whom he privately derided as Wonder Boy, presided over the Crash of '29 and the first three years of the Great Depression. History holds Harding, Coolidge and Hoover responsible for the Depression, with Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon, and Reed Smoot and Willis Hawley of Smoot-Hawley fame, as accessories. As Voltaire observed, history is a pack of lies agreed upon. Two men debunked the myth that the low-tax, high-tariff policy of the 1920s brought on the Depression. The more famous is Milton Friedman, who proved to the satisfaction of a Nobel Prize committee that the Depression was a monetary phenomenon. The Fed had opened the sluices, and the money had swamped the stock market.

When Wall Street crashed, there came a run on the banks by men who had bought on margin, a depositors' stampede, a bank collapse, a wipeout of uninsured savings and the loss of a third of the money supply, lifeblood of the economy. The Fed never gave the nation the needed transfusions. Hoover and FDR misdiagnosing the crisis, raised taxes and wrote up new regulations, which was like putting a body cast on a patient in shock from the loss of a third of his blood. The Smoot-Hawley myth, repeated by John McCain in the Detroit debate, was demolished by Alfred Eckes of Ohio University, Reagan's man at the FTC and America's foremost authority on the history of trade and tariffs, in his 1995 Opening America's Markets.The point of this brief history: The recent hand-off from Alan Greenspan, the maestro of the Global Economy, to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke may turn out to have been a lateral far behind the line of scrimmage, leaving Bernanke holding the bag for a recession for which he is no more responsible than was the hapless Hoover. Last week, the stock market saw 4 percent of its value wiped out. Oil reached nearly $100 a barrel. The dollar fell to record lows against the Canadian dollar and the euro. The price of gold was $850 an ounce, signaling inflation and a worldwide lack of confidence in the Fed's ability or determination to defend the world's reserve currency. The Chinese, with $1.4 trillion in reserves, perhaps 80 percent in dollar assets, indicated they may dump dollars and move into euros. Merrill-Lynch took an $8 billion hit. Citibank is signaling massive losses from its subprime mortgage debt. General Motors reported an operating loss of $1.6 billion for the quarter and a whopping $39 billion charge that is among the biggest profit hits ever reported.

Where does this leave Bernanke? On the horns of a dilemma.

Exposure of all that subprime debt going rotten on the books of our biggest banks, the staggering losses being reported, the inability of homeowners to refinance or borrow any further against their equity, the credit crunch – all argue for an easy money policy to get capital back into the economic bloodstream. Thus the Fed has cut interest rates from 5.25 percent to 4.5 percent. Thus the howls for deeper cuts, thus the market anticipation of another cut, though the Fed has said no more. But the Fed is responsible not only for the national economy. It is responsible for defending the dollar, which represents the real savings and wealth of the nation. And that dollar has lost more value in seven years than in any similar period in modern history. A euro, worth 83 cents the year Bush was elected, has risen in value to $1.47. As the dollar sinks, exporters may cheer rising sales, but at home we will soon find that the prices of all those imported goods from Europe and Asia down at the mall are starting to rise. U.S. soldiers, diplomats, tourists and businessmen overseas are already feeling the pain of a falling dollar.

If a recession is generally a sign the Fed should loosen up, a run on the dollar is a sign the Fed should tighten by raising interest rates to make dollars and dollar-denominated assets more attractive. But the Fed's raising of interest rates would push up the rates on mortgages, credit cards and auto loans, and push millions of marginal folks into bankruptcy and the country into recession, a disaster for the Republicans. But, given their free-trade fanaticism and free-spending ways, that fate would not be undeserved. Say a prayer for Ben Bernanke. He may have to eat the football that scrambling quarterback Greenspan tossed to him far behind the line of scrimmage.

EU seen speeding up trade talks with Peru, ColombiaReuters Wednesday November 14 2007

LIMA, Nov 14 (Reuters) - The European Union has agreed to speed up trade talks with Peru and Colombia because their economies are more advanced than other nations in the Andean Community trade bloc, an official for the Andean group said on Wednesday.The EU has accepted the request of the Andean Community that we negotiate at different speeds, Freddy Ehlers, the Andean Community secretary-general, told reporters after speaking at a trade forum in Lima, Peru's capital.Europe agrees that there are asymmetries, differences in terms of each Andean country's level of development, Ehlers said.

The European Union and the four members of the Andean Community -- Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia -- agreed earlier this year to resume trade negotiations.Peru and Colombia asked for special treatment after Bolivian President Evo Morales, a leftist who often criticizes free trade, expressed doubts about a deal between the Andean group and the EU. Ecuador's President Rafael Correa is also a free-trade skeptic.Colombia and Peru, which together are responsible for 83 percent of the Andean Community's exports to Europe, have eagerly pushed for free trade agreements with leading economies like the United States.The Andean Community sells about $10 billion in goods each year to the European Union, the South American group's second-biggest trading partner after the United States.

Miliband sees EU as model power
By David Brunnstrom Reuters - Thursday, November 15 03:28

pmBRUGES, Belgium (Reuters) - The government offered a vision of the European Union as a model power not afraid to use military force, and a strong backer of free trade, in a speech delivered by Foreign Secretary David Miliband on Thursday.Miliband also said the 27-nation EU should expand to Turkey as soon as the country met the accession criteria, and consider extending its single market beyond immediate neighbours into the Middle East and North Africa.The EU will never be a superpower, but could be a model power of regional cooperation, Miliband said in a speech prepared for delivery in the Belgium city of Bruges, where Britain's then prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, in 1988 argued against a European federalist superstate.For success, the EU must be open to ideas, trade and people ... and it must be able to deploy soft and hard power to promote democracy and tackle conflicts beyond its borders, Miliband said.Highlighting protectionism as a threat, Miliband appeared to respond to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who said on Tuesday the bloc must protect its farmers and industries better to overcome a crisis of confidence due to the harsh forces of globalisation.His speech, however, was in line with Sarkozy's call for greater efforts to build an independent European defence capability and to modernise NATO.(Reporting by David Brunnstrom; writing by Ingrid Melander; editing by Dale Hudson)

MEPs endorse EU passport-free zone
15.11.2007 - 17:37 CET | By Lucia Kubosova

EUOBSERVER / STRASBOURG - The European Parliament has strongly supported extending the Schengen passport-free zone, but deputies from the new EU member states have warned against the creation of a fortress Europe which could damage ties with border countries like Ukraine.In a vote on Thursday (15 November), MEPs echoed last week's positive verdict by EU interior ministers on the preparation of nine of ten countries which joined the bloc in 2004 to become a part of the Schengen internal border-free area on 21 December.The decision involves Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Cyprus is not involved due to the unresolved issue of the Mediterranean island's division between Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

Following the removal of checks at internal land and sea borders late next month, controls at airports to be lifted in late March 2008, with the delay necessary in order to respect the current flight timetables and introduce new procedures after the shift from winter to summer time. The Schengen zone currently consists of 13 EU member states - apart from the UK and Ireland - plus Norway, Iceland and Switzerland. After the big bang extension of the zone in December, travel will be possible from, for example, the Iberian Peninsula to the Baltic States and from Greece to Finland without border checks, EU security commissioner Franco Frattini pointed out in a debate ahead of a vote by the Strasbourg plenary.

But both he and several deputies stressed that the bigger area will also require greater security measures to prevent criminals exploiting free movement within the bloc.Mr Frattini noted that Lifting internal border controls is also a question of trust between member states, adding that through an evaluation system, the national capitals were able to gain confidence in each other's capacity to guard the external borders on behalf of all the others and issue visas valid for the whole Schengen area.But the Czech leftist MEP Miloslav Ransdorf remarked, the history of Schengen zone enlargement is the history of double standards, pointing out that while letting in Austria, Finland and Sweden in 1995 was a mere formality, the current nine newcomers were subjected to embarrassing controls and evaluations.Some deputies from central and eastern Europe also highlighted the problem of a possible worsening of ties with border states, such as Ukraine, Belarus or Russia, due to beefed up external border measures and more lengthy and expensive visa procedures.

Others pointed out that the full freedom of movement for citizens of the new EU member states should soon be accompanied by the removal of labour market restrictions against them.At the moment, Germany, France, Austria, Belgium and Denmark still apply temporary bans on new workers which they can keep – if they can justify the reasons to the commission – until 2011.In addition, most western states continue to keep barriers against Bulgarian and Romanian jobseekers whose countries joined the EU in January.

EU must improve military capabilities, UK says
16.11.2007 - 09:27 CET | By Elitsa Vucheva

UK foreign secretary David Miliband called for a strengthening of the EU's military capacities during his first major speech on EU policy on Thursday (15 November) - an idea that has also been recently raised by France.It's frankly embarrassing that when European nations - with almost two million men and women under arms - are only able, at a stretch, to deploy around 100,000 at any one time, Mr Miliband said during a speech at the College of Europe in the Belgian city of Bruges on Thursday. European countries have around 1,200 transport helicopters, yet only 35 are deployed in Afghanistan. And EU member states haven't provided any helicopters in Darfur despite the desperate need there, he went on.

French president Nicolas Sarkozy has also called for more efforts to build an independent European defence capability as well as to modernise NATO, while French defence minister Herve Morin told German newspaper FAZ earlier this week that Paris would put defence high on its EU presidency agenda during the second half of 2008.So far France and the UK have been the main EU member states to touch upon the EU defence issue, but while their positions converge on some points – such as the need for stronger capabilities, they also diverge on others – such as the need to set up new institutional arrangements.The 27-member bloc should rather get on with using the institutions we have got to make progress rather than set up new ones or duplicate the work that is done either by NATO or nation states, Mr Miliband said.However, according to British media, the initial version of the UK foreign secretary's speech was closer to Mr Sarkozy's positions.According to The Times, shortly before he was to speak at the College of Europe, Mr Miliband was forced by prime minister Gordon Brown to abandon references to an EU military capabilities charter, which would have contained some concrete ideas on beefing up the EU's defence by identifying targets for investment, research and training.

EU model rather than a superpower

During his speech in Bruges, the UK foreign secretary also insisted that the EU should be a model for the world rather than a superpower.The truth is that the EU has enlarged, remodelled and opened up. It is not and is not going to become a superstate. But neither is it destined to become a superpower, the minister said.
It could instead be a model power, notably as regards regional cooperation, free trade, the environment and tackling extremism, he added.Clashing with French president Nicolas Sarkozy's vision on enlargement and particularly on a possible EU membership for Turkey, Mr Miliband said that the EU should keep its promises and eventually let Ankara in or face the consequences – a deep and dangerous divide between east and west.

Another traditional point of discord between London and Paris was also highlighted during Mr Miliband's speech.Only two days after Mr Sarkozy argued before EU parliamentarians that the word protection should be not be outlawed and that we [EU] must be able to protect ourselves as much as others do, the British minister stressed that the bloc should remain open to trade, ideas and investment.Protectionism seeks to stave off globalisation rather than manage it, Mr Miliband said.We need to put European agriculture on a sustainable and modern footing; reduce tariffs, open up energy markets and complete the creation of a single markets in services, he added.

[Comment] The new EU president: standard bearer or shaker?
16.11.2007 - 09:08 CET | By Peter Sain ley Berry

EUOBSERVER / COMMENT - With the waning of the Bush Presidency, the countries of Europe are becoming perceptibly more united around a pro-American stance. The leaders of Germany, France and Britain have all signalled a reappraisal of the transatlantic relationship. In Britain's case this has been an adjustment from a position of slavish follower to one of detached and weary-wise support. But by re-emphasising common values across the Atlantic pond, Europe is repositioning itself for a new era in Washington.

For the United States, however, the old Johnsonian quip remains: 'When I pick up the telephone to Europe, whom should I call?' The question has been around a long time but my feeling is that it has now had its day. At some point during the first term of America's next President the likelihood is that there will be a number to call; that is should whoever is elected twelve months from now wish to reciprocate the sentiments and put that number on his - or even probably - her, speed-dialler.This number will of course be that of the new President of the European Council. That post will come into being in 2009 with the implementation of the Lisbon constitutional reform treaty - always supposing that this is finally ratified by Europe's 27 member states. The President will take the chair of the European Council for a two and a half year term, extendable to five years by common consent.

Considering the potential importance of this post (if only as an earpiece for long distance telephone calls) surprisingly little has been said about it apart from some light speculation about possible candidates. For all I know this may be because of some unspoken agreement not to excite unduly eurosceptic opinion. Though more probably it is because different people tend to see the functions and possibilities of the post in rather different ways. Thus one body of thought seems to view the post in distinctly low-key fashion - a co-ordinating position, a non-executive chairman, with the job simply of using 'good offices' to help along those programmes and policies in danger of becoming mired in the jungle of governance. A standard bearer rather than a mover, still less a shaker.

It would suit a retired, or semi-retired, buffer; perhaps one of Mr Sarkozy's putative wise men, who would preside over an office run by members of the fast stream of the bureaucratic elite. Such a person would be, in the jargon, 'a safe pair of hands' and would no doubt be wheeled out on state occasions to read speeches that others had written and vetted for him. In other words he (and almost certainly it would be a he) would be in office but not in power.

Benevolent uncle or cage rattler?

Various politicians approaching the end of their domestic prime ministerial terms (or who have recently completed them) could step comfortably into this benevolent uncle role, which would no doubt provide a fitting climax to their careers. Whether of course this is actually what Europe needs is another matter. Yet this is but one view of the Presidency. Others, at various times, have hankered after something, or someone, more glamorous who would actually shake the tree, rattle the cage and make things happen. From all sorts of unlikely corners comes the aspiration, not always subdued, that Europe should stand taller in the world and count its global clout, not just in terms of the mouths it feeds or the size of its market, but in the way its vision is expressed at the highest levels.The role of benevolent uncle will not attract those candidates with the qualities of statesmen with a coherent and persuasive vision of how the Continent should play its hand. Candidates who have the personal charisma to be able to say to an American President I speak for Europe (and for the President to know it) will surely use the role in a rather grander way than was perhaps envisaged in the various constitutional councils.

The name of Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister, has been mentioned in this connection. He certainly would not confine himself to playing the buffer, but would seek to drive his own agenda. Remember the bold peroration he made to the European Parliament, on the eve of the 2005 British Presidency - a speech that heralded much incidentally and was highly regarded despite (or perhaps because) he laid into so many of Europe's sacred cows.
I am not sure that the speech triggered any change at all. It seemed to be quickly forgotten. Nevertheless, it gives us an inkling of how the Presidency of the European Council could look very different, both to Europe and the wider world if Blair, or someone like him, were to be appointed.

By coincidence, the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, was setting out his own slate to the European Parliament this week in a speech of similar tone, though very different substance, to the Blair speech. Even for the liberal Sarkozy, the difference between British and French approaches to Europe, between Anglo-Saxon and Frankish values, could scarcely be more marked. Sarkozy will, of course, still be President of France in 2009 and for some years after that, but were circumstances to change and his hat appear in the ring at some point then I have this extraordinary idea that he wouldn't confine himself to the buffer role either.There are of course other charismatic candidates as well as candidates whose charisma is now hidden or unknown but who may suddenly discover they have it once the glare of the European Presidency spotlight was on them. Cometh the hour, cometh the man and all that. But again the question must be asked is this what Europe needs, or indeed is ready for? In actual fact I find this all a little frightening. It seems to me on the one hand we shall have someone appointed President who agrees to be bound as it were by the limitations of the position and who therefore risks, on the world stage, of being treated as almost irrelevant. Or we shall have someone who is used to considerably more authority than will come with the Presidency and will in a short period of time come to transform the role into a de facto Presidency of Europe, at least to outside eyes, without any real democratic sanction. Our leaders will need to exercise their choice of candidate most carefully.

Russian vote to suspend CFE treaty regrettable: NATO Fri Nov 16, 10:58 AM ET

BRUSSELS (AFP) - The NATO military alliance expressed regret Friday after the Russian senate voted to suspend compliance with a key Soviet-era arms pact from next month. Any measure which takes forward the process by which Russia would unilaterally withdraw from the treaty is regrettable, said NATO spokesman James Appathurai.The remarks came after the unanimous vote in the upper house of parliament to suspend from December 12 compliance with the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty, which limits the deployment of troops and military equipment.We hope that the talks underway between the signatory states, and those between the United States and Russia, will bring about rapid results toward resolving the problem, Appathurai said.

The CFE was signed on November 19, 1990 in Paris by NATO and the Warsaw Pact -- two opposing blocs during the Cold War -- and was modified in 1999 following the fall of the Soviet Union.Its initial aim was to eliminate the capacity of either side to launch a surprise attack or large-scale military offensive.Russia has attributed its freeze to the failure of NATO members to ratify the revised 1999 version but Moscow has also been riled by US plans to deploy an anti-missile shield in two former Soviet satellite states.NATO countries have said they would only ratify the CFE treaty once Moscow has lived up to a pledge to pull its troops out of former Soviet republics Georgia and Moldova.Appathurai underlined that NATO countries want to see the adapted treaty enter into force as soon as possible.NATO remains unconvinced that Russia can legally freeze the treaty and officials and diplomats believe that the mechanism Moscow has set off can only lead to complete withdrawal from the pact.The CFE treaty has no suspension clause, only completely withdrawal, one NATO diplomat said, on condition that he not be named.

Russia's decision to use the term 'suspension' only adds an element of doubt, he said.The diplomat explained that Russia has, on purpose, not made totally clear its intentions on how it would implement any suspension, while NATO has also not made clear either exactly how it would respond to such a move.Does this mean the CFE treaty is dead? Nothing is clear. It's an ambiguous situation that could satisfy both parties, he said.The Russian senate vote comes amid campaigning for December 2 elections.

US plans new space weapons against China
By Alex Spillius in Washington NOV 15/2007

The Pentagon is spending billions of dollars on new forms of space warfare to counter the growing risk of missile attack from rogue states and the satellite killer capabilities of China.Congress has allocated funds to develop futuristic weapons and intelligence systems that operate beyond the Earth's atmosphere as America looks past Iraq and Afghanistan to the wars of the future.The Falcon could fly at six times the speed of sound and deliver bombs anywhere in the world in minutes The most ambitious project in a new $459 billion (£221.5 billion) defence spending Bill is the Falcon, a reusable hypersonic vehicle that could fly at six times the speed of sound and deliver 12,000lb of bombs anywhere in the world within minutes.

The bombs' destructive power would be multiplied by the Earth's gravitational pull as they travelled at up to 25 times the speed of sound towards their target.The cost of the vehicle has not been revealed, but a spokesman for the Pentagon's Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) said a first test flight was scheduled for next year.Loren Thompson, a leading defence analyst in Washington, said the focus of the project was attacking time sensitive targets in states such as North Korea and Iran, which have either developed nuclear weapons without international approval or are suspected of doing so.If we received intelligence that a strike was about to happen on South Korea, or on Israel, we would want to destroy that within minutes and not hours. But from most current US bases that is not feasible.With a hyper-sonic vehicle launching from the Middle East or Asia you could be over hostile territory within minutes, he said. It's not just a question of can we destroy North Korean weapons, but can we get there quickly enough in the event of an imminent launch? Darpa is also developing a small unmanned launch vehicle that would provide responsive and affordable access to space, for less than $5 million per launch. The first test flight was made in March.

It would be capable of re-launching satellites that had been attacked, or acting as a fast-moving replacement for a damaged satellite with intelligence sensors of its own that could identify enemy installations.In its 621-page report on the Defence Appropriations Bill, Congressmen from both Republican and Democratic parties said: Enhancing these capabilities is crucial, particularly following the Chinese anti-satellite weapons demonstration last January.In China's first successful test of an anti-satellite system, a ground-based missile fired into space shattered a weather satellite in low earth orbit. The Pentagon has also given warning that China is making greater efforts to hack into its defence computers.Congress awarded $150 million for the Falcon project and its associated prompt global strike programme. A defence industry source said it was likely that hundreds of millions more were being spent on space warfare away from the public view.The global strike platform would give America the forward presence it requires around the world without the need for bases outside the US.Attempts to base missile defence shields in Poland and Czechoslovakia have provoked a fierce row with Russia, while Uzbekistan, which neighbours Afghanistan, evicted the US from an air base two years ago.

• The economic cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are estimated at $1.6 trillion (£772 billion) - roughly double what the White House has requested thus far, according to a report by Congress' Joint Economic Committee.For the Iraq war only, total economic costs were estimated at $1.3 trillion (£627 billion) from 2002 to 2008.

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Israeli Lawmakers Make It Tougher to Divide Jerusalem
By Julie Stahl CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief
November 14, 2007

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - A law that will make it more difficult for the Israeli government to divide the city of Jerusalem passed a preliminary reading by a large majority in the Israeli Knesset on Wednesday. The vote comes ahead of the U.S.-sponsored Israeli-Palestinian summit, where the issue of dividing Jerusalem may come up. The main message is for the international community. [Israeli lawmakers are] saying 'no' to dividing Jerusalem, said Nilly Richman, spokeswoman for Knesset Member Gideon Sa'ar, who sponsored the bill. Israel's Basic Law states that Jerusalem is Israel's capital, and any changes to the city's boundaries must be approved by a majority in the Knesset. Wednesday's proposed law would require 80 of the 120 Knesset members to approve any changes to the boundaries instead of the current 61.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has indicated that he would be willing to divide Jerusalem between Jewish and Arab neighborhoods -a plan first put forward by then-President Bill Clinton in 2000.
A close confidant of Olmert's, Vice Prime Minister Haim Ramon, went a step further, suggesting that the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Jerusalem, be turned over to the Palestinian Authority. (Several important Islamic shrines are now built on the Temple Mount, atop the ruins of ancient Jewish temples.)Opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu recently warned that dividing Jerusalem would be tantamount to turning the city over to Hamas as Islamic radicals moved onto the doorstep of the city's Jewish neighborhoods.No official date has been announced yet for the Annapolis summit. The two sides, with strong U.S. prodding, are still working on a final statement to be issued at the summit's end.

23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

Revealed: The £4m bill for Blair's peace mission in the Middle East By JANE MERRICK - More by this author 01:35am on 15th November 2007

Tony Blair's job as Middle East envoy is costing nearly £4million a year, it was revealed last night. The total bill for the ex-Prime Minister's peacebrokering is far higher than previously thought and dwarfs that of his predecessor, who cost around £100,000. The figure was revealed after criticism this week that British taxpayers are forking out £400,000 of the cost - around a tenth of a total which is spread between members of the United Nations, the European Union, the U.S. and Russia. An official close to Mr Blair stressed that he is not paid personally for the job.

The money covers a staff of 14 at an office in Jerusalem, four of whom are British diplomats, and security, including armoured vehicles. At the time of Mr Blair's appointment in June, it was believed the international quartet of powers would pay £100,000 a year to cover office costs and expenses. This figure was based on an estimated £100,000 for the previous incumbent, Jim Wolfensohn, former head of the World Bank who left the post in April 2005. Mr Wolfensohn told an Israeli paper this summer that Mr Blair's mandate was exactly the same as mine. Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman Lord Oakeshott said: We need clarity on why the costs are so much more than that of his predecessor. How much time is Mr Blair devoting to this job? Mr Blair has combined his Middle East role with speaking engagements and promoting a charitable foundation in his name.

Hamas warns Abbas against concessions to Israel

Hamas supporters have rallied outside Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's official Gaza residence. They lobbied against giving ground to Israel at a meeting planned for Annapolis, Maryland at the end of the month. Khalil al-Hayya, a Hamas leader, warned in a speech to the Gaza crowd of an explosion that will know no borders if Abbas softens positions on the status of Jerusalem; and the right of Palestinian refugees to return home. Hamas, which is shunned by Israel and its allies for its refusal to renounce violence against the Jewish state, will not be represented at Annapolis. Though they won a parliamentary majority and formed a government last year, Abbas dismissed Hamas leaders from power in June after Hamas Islamists routed his Fatah forces, restricting Abbas's authority to the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Annapolis peace summit another 'lynching of Israel'?
Chad Groening OneNewsNow.com - November 16, 2007

The head of a pro-Israel ministry says the upcoming peace summit in Annapolis, Maryland, will just be another installment payment in the sellout of Israel and of American interests in the Middle East.The starting date of the much heralded Middle East Peace Summit will be November 27, as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sits down with Israeli and Palestinian leaders to try to hash out the latest peace agreement for the Middle East. Syria reportedly is also mulling the possibility of attending the summit.

The founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries in Minnesota predicts that, as with every negotiation session, Israel will once again be pressured to make concessions for peace that will not be reciprocated by its Islamic enemies.I would have to call this the lynching of Israel, says Jan Markell. She's being asked to give up most of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount; parts of Judea and Samaria will be completely dismantled of Jewish settlements. And I believe America will have blood on her hands. Markell says it is foolish that the Israeli government is willing to discuss the carving up God's Holy city of Jerusalem. That's his city. That's the city he's going to return to rule and reign out of, she states. The King of kings is coming back to this city -- and yet the secular humanists are willing to put the Holy City on the chopping block and give large portions of it away to the Arab world.She argues that Muslims have no legitimate claim to any part of the Holy City. I think there's a perception out there that the city of Jerusalem could be holy to the Muslims. But that is not true, she asserts.

Markell points out that the word Jerusalem does not appear once in the Koran, and Islam's holy cities are considered to be Mecca and Medina. Jerusalem is an extreme after-thought [to them]. But it is truly Holy to Jews, Christians, and to God, she notes. Therefore, she says, Muslims have no legitimate claim to Jerusalem.Markell says she wonders how the United States will be judged if it allows large sections of God's Holy City to be turned over to Muslims. I think this has got to be one of the scariest times in America's history,she says.American Family News Network.

Polls Contradict Rice's Claim of Public Support

(IsraelNN.com) A poll conducted by a professional polling institute this week revealed that American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice incorrectly estimated that a majority of Israel citizens are willing to give up Judea and Samaria in exchange for an agreement with the Palestinian Authority (PA). She made the statement in a 22-minute speech to 3,000 delegates of the United Jewish Communities General Assembly in Tennessee.

A poll conducted by Ma'agar Mochot (Brain Base) last month showed that 61 percent of the respondents oppose a commitment by Israel to remove the IDF from most of Judea and Samaria. The poll was commissioned by the Israel Policy Center for Promoting Parliamentary Democracy and Jewish Values in Israeli Public Life.
According to the survey, more than three-quarters of the public doubts that the Palestinian Authority (PA) can prevent terror attacks against Israel, with 32 percent worried that terrorists probably will fire rockets from the area if the IDF withdraws.

Roman street uncovered in Western Wall tunnels
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS

The remains of an ancient terraced street dating back to the Roman Period have been uncovered in the Western Wall tunnels, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Wednesday. The street, which likely led to the nearby Temple Mount, dates back nearly 2,000 years to when the city was called Aelia Capitolina, during the second to fourth centuries. The site, which was uncovered in archeological excavations over the past year, is a side street connecting two major roads in the area, said Jon Seligman, the Antiquities Authority Jerusalem regional archeologist. The ancient street is paved with large flagstones and is amazingly well-preserved. It is demarcated on both sides by walls built of ashlar stones. The recent finding is the latest indication that even after they destroyed the Second Temple in 70 CE, the Romans continued to value the Temple Mount as one of the main urban focal points of activity in the city. Various artifacts were discovered in the excavations, including pottery, glass vessels and dozens of coins that all date to the construction of the street and the period after it was abandoned.

Full human clones a matter of time
Claire Keeton Published:Nov 11, 2007

Unless the world bans human cloning it may be just a matter of time until we share the Earth with exact copies. This is according to a major UN policy analysis released this morning. The report’s authors propose outlawing human reproductive cloning while allowing restricted therapeutic cloning as the most viable compromise option for the international community to adopt.South Africa’s proposed regulations on cloning are in line with this compromise: permitting the use of human eggs to create stem cells for therapeutic and research purposes — but still prohibiting reproductive cloning.Professor Jacquie Greenberg, the associate professor with the Human Genetics Research Group at UCT, says: The guidelines are specifically for stem cell use which is what the debate pivots around.

The Health Department is expected to finalise its regulations on therapeutic cloning, which are governed by the National Health Act, by the end of this year.A deadlock over cloning at a UN General Assembly in 2005 blocked the adoption of an international convention and resulted instead in the non-binding UN Declaration on Cloning.One of the report’s authors, Brendan Tobin from the Irish Centre for Human Rights, says: The failure to adopt an international convention on therapeutic cloning means that reproductive cloning is inadequately controlled ... and it is inevitable. There are maverick scientists who are continuing with experimentation.He adds that they can move across borders if they run into national restrictions, given the lack of global control.
As science improves we are likely to reach a stage where human cloning can be done effectively ... This science may become acceptable 20 or 30 years down the line, but will the world be ready to accept cloned individuals?

Tobin believes the international community will have a responsibility to protect the human rights of cloned individuals if human cloning is not banned. Essentially the choices come down to this: prevent human cloning by acting soon or work towards preventing discrimination against clones.The UN report, Is Human Reproductive Cloning Inevitable? Future Options for UN Governance, urges the world community to revisit the issue before science overtakes policy.Co-author and Sheffield University legal academic Chamundeeswari Kuppuswamy explains: Licences are being granted for therapeutic cloning, which means in time scientists will perfect the technique for human reproductive cloning.Research or therapeutic cloning is intended to produce cells or, in the future, tissues and organs, which genetically match the donor and can potentially cure many common and dread diseases. Reproductive cloning, on the other hand, is meant to duplicate a person or an animal. Cloned animals to date include a rhesus monkey, mice, sheep, pigs, cows and dogs.Greenberg said: I’m surprised that [human] cloning hasn’t happened. I think it’s very possible but I’m not sure whether it’s probable given all the checks and balances ... A lot of experimentation has been done, I have no doubt ... behind closed doors. Whether it’s been successful I have reservations; however, I’m much more concerned about the failures and the human suffering from such failures.

This is not science fiction.

Greenberg added: What is necessary now is therapeutic cloning, which will undoubtedly benefit humanity in the long run. It needs to be done with extreme caution and with very strict scientific control. As long as we adhere to this we are not on a slippery slope. We have wonderful scientists and they are very responsible. Therapeutic cloning can be done here and should be done here.Bio-ethicist and Wits University’s acting director for the Institute for Human Evolution, Professor Trefor Jenkins, agreed: Stem cell research holds a lot of promise though not much has been realised yet. No responsible scientist would try to clone a human being with the current state of knowledge. It is hazardous.The objections to human cloning largely revolve around three concerns:

Scientific — underdeveloped technologies will produce clones with serious deformities or degenerative diseases; Ethical or religious — producing and destroying living embryos to harvest stem cells is wrong, and that people are tampering with the sacred cycles of life and natural selection; and Moral — cloning could lead to the commoditisation of life. Kuppuswamy said: Representatives of countries such as Uganda and Nigeria raised concerns that women in poorer countries could be exploited for the purposes of their eggs for therapeutic cloning.Jenkins said: The only objection I’m aware of really ... [concerns] early stage embryos. If you think they have the same respect as human beings do after they have been born then you can’t do any research.

But he added: There is an abundance of such embryos in any surgery or institution doing IVF [in vitro fertilisation]. The appeal is to make use of these embryos with the parents’ consent or to wash them down the sink. From a utilitarian point of view you can use them for what you believe is the good of humankind.

Ministry leaders respond to Senate probe
Allie Martin OneNewsNow.com November 16, 2007

Several televangelists named in a federal probe led by a United States senator are speaking out.The investigation, launched by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), requests answers from six Christian media ministries about expenses, executive compensation, and use of cars and jets. Senator Grassley says he is acting on complaints from the public and news coverage of the organizations. Targets of the probe include Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Creflo and Taffi Dollar, Benny Hinn, Bishop Eddie Long, Joyce and David Meyer, and Randy and Paula White. (See earlier article)

Although none of the six have responded to interview requests from OneNewsNow, Pastor Dollar released a statement to the Atlanta Journal Constitution which states that his World Changers Church took in $69 million last year. He also told CNN that the church is upfront about its finances. We comply with the IRS, we have a board of directors, a compensation board, an audit board and an ethics board -- so these things he's requested, we've given these things to the IRS, says Dollar.Among other ministry responses, Joyce Meyers Ministries released a statement quoting a letter from the IRS which said the ministry continues to qualify as a tax-exempt organization. In the meantime, a spokeswoman for Kenneth Copeland Ministries said in a statement that the ministry is working on a response to Grassley's letter.

Randy and Paula White, who recently announced they were divorcing, told the Tampa Tribune that they found the Grassley probe unusual, since the IRS has the power to conduct investigations of religious organizations. But a spokesperson for Bishop Long said he plans to comply with the Senate's request. So far, Benny Hinn has not commented on the matter.Senator Grassley has given the ministries until December 6 to furnish the requested documents.American Family News Network.

15,000 homeless in Chile quake By FEDERICO QUILODRAN, Associated Press Writer NOV 15,07

TOCOPILLA, Chile - Strong aftershocks from a powerful earthquake hit northern Chile on Thursday as the government erected a working military hospital and promised hundreds of other portable dwellings for 15,000 left homeless by the quake. Government and army workers scrambled to distribute tons of food, water and medicine after the 7.7 magnitude quake struck near the desert village of Quillagua in the foothills of the Andes on Wednesday, killing at least two people and injuring more than 150.Major aftershocks shook the region Thursday, including one of magnitude 6.2 and another of magnitude 6.8, the U.S. Geological Survey said. There were no immediate reports of further damage or injuries.

The earthquake destroyed or damaged 4,000 houses and the local hospital, blocking roads, crushing cars and knocking out power across northern Chile, officials said.This port city of 27,000 and the nearby mining town of Maria Elena were the hardest hit, and presidential spokesman Ricardo Lagos Weber said both would be declared disaster areas to expedite aid delivery.Four Cabinet ministers were in the area coordinating recovery and aid efforts. President Michelle Bachelet also flew there Thursday morning.
Housing Minister Patricia Poblete said many structures cannot be saved, and firefighters and other workers began demolishing the most severely damaged homes. Dr. Cristian Castillo told The Associated Press 80 percent of our hospital is useless.Two women were killed in Tocopilla, 25 miles from the epicenter, when their houses collapsed, authorities said. Hospital director Juan Urrutia said at least 117 people were treated there for injuries or panic.

In tiny Quillagua, with a population of around 100, one person suffered minor injuries and 15 houses were damaged.Electricity was restored in large areas of Tocopilla. Army trucks were distributing water to residents as supply was still cut off in most of the city.In Maria Elena, 1,200 homes were damaged — or 70 percent of the city's total, authorities said. Residents were still without running water and electricity late Wednesday.Lagos Weber said about 170 people were taken to hospitals across the region, but that many of the injuries were not serious. About 10 road workers who had been trapped near Tocopilla when a section of a tunnel they were repairing collapsed were all rescued in good condition Thursday.Hundreds of residents slept in cars or tents in front of their houses. Schools were being used as shelters for those left homeless by the quake.But officials said many are refusing to go to shelters, fearing their homes will be looted if left unattended.We slept in the car, because we have to care for whatever the quake didn't destroy, resident Luis Porcel told the AP.Chile's largest copper mines are in the quake area, and production was halted as electric power was cut for several hours Wednesday before being restored. The nation is the world's largest copper producer.At a badly damaged restaurant Wednesday night, a dozen men drank beer by candlelight.What else can I do? I lost everything. So I'll just have a few drinks, said Samuel Araya, a 57-year-old miner in this town of 7,000 people.

Blanca Pizarro said she took refuge under her kitchen table when the quake struck and seconds later the roof collapsed on the table. I'm alive by a miracle, she said. The quake struck around midday Wednesday 780 miles north of the capital, Santiago, and was followed by several aftershocks, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was so strong it shook Santiago and was felt on the other side of the continent in Sao Paulo, Brazil — 1,400 miles to the east. It was incredible. I thought my last day had come when I saw the mountain shaking under a large cloud of dust, said Maria Ines Palete, a resident of Quillagua. The quake occurred in one of the most seismically active regions in the world, where the Nazca tectonic plate is shoving itself beneath the South American plate.
A 1939 quake in Chile killed 28,000 people and in 1960, a magnitude-9.5 quake — the strongest recorded in the 20th century — killed 5,700 people. On June 13, 2005, a magnitude-7.8 quake near Tarapaca in northern Chile killed 11 people and left thousands homeless.

Bangladesh cyclone kills 41 By SHEIKH DIDARUL ALAM, Associated Press Writer NOV 15,07

KHULNA, Bangladesh - A cyclone packing 150 mph winds slammed Bangladesh's southeast coast late Thursday, killing at least 41 people and forcing hundreds of thousands from their homes, officials said. Cyclone Sidr leveled numerous homes as it sent driving rains and high waves across the lowland coastal areas before weakening to a tropical storm by Friday morning, according to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department.Local government officials across the region said that at least 41 people had been killed, mainly from collapsing homes and falling debris, and 650,000 people had been evacuated.Storm surges nearly 4 feet high inundated low-lying areas and some offshore islands in the 15 coastal districts in the cyclone's path. Communications with remote forest areas and offshore islands were temporarily lost.

Torrential rain late Thursday and early Friday flooded some streets in the capital, Dhaka, while strong winds sent billboards flying through the air.In the coastal districts of Barguna, Bagerhat, Barisal and Bhola, residents said the storm flattened thousands of flimsy straw and mud huts, flooded low-lying areas, destroyed crops and fish farms, uprooted trees, electric and telephone poles. Road, rail and river transport also suffered.

Bangladesh, a low-lying delta nation, is prone to seasonal cyclones and floods that cause huge losses of life and property. The coastal area borders eastern India and is famous for the mangrove forests of the Sundarbans, a world heritage site that is home to rare Royal Bengal Tigers.Thousands of coastal villagers moved to cyclone shelters — concrete buildings on raised pilings, or sought refuge inside mud forts — mud walls built along the coast to resist tidal surges. Schools, mosques and other public buildings were also turned into makeshift shelters.At least 650,000 people had so far moved into official shelters, where they were being given emergency rations, Ali Imam Majumder, a senior government official, told reporters in Dhaka.Authorities dispatched dry foods, medicines, tents and blankets to the affected areas, he said.Associated Press writers Sheikh Didarul Alam in Khulna and Akhter Faruk in Barisal contributed to this report.

DANIEL 12:4
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

REVELATION 13:13-15
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

REVELATION 14:9-11
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Monkey clones unlikely to bring new care By MALCOLM RITTER, AP Science Writer Thu Nov 15, 12:26 AM ET

NEW YORK - Gleaning stem cells from cloned monkey embryos, as a team of Oregon researchers has done, is an impressive step. But it probably won't lead to medical treatments any time soon. One hurdle is ethical and political. Human embryos have to be destroyed to produce stem cells. That has aroused opposition to human embryonic stem cell research, and it led the Bush administration to restrict federal funding for it. Scientists say that has slowed science in this effort.Another hurdle is the inefficiency of the process. Even if the method described by scientists Wednesday works in humans, it would demand too much of a precious resource — women's unfertilized eggs.The promise of producing stem cells by cloning is that they can be genetically matched to a particular patient. So theoretically, doctors should be able to transplant tissue created from them into that person without tissue rejection. And presumably, such transplants could help treat such conditions as diabetes and spinal cord injury.

The process used in the new experiment is quite inefficient, Shoukhrat Mitalipov of the Oregon National Primate Research Center in Portland told reporters Wednesday.He and his colleagues reported getting two batches of stem cells that required using about 150 monkey eggs apiece. That's far too many if one hopes to use human unfertilized eggs, which are cumbersome to obtain from women.If further work can get that down to maybe five to 10 eggs per stem cell batch, we will be closer to clinical applications, Mitalipov said.I am quite sure it will work in humans, he added.
But then there's another issue — showing that such stem cells really can be used to treat diseases safely. Mitalipov said he plans to do diabetes studies in monkeys.

For now, he and other scientists said, the new work is valuable for showing that stem cells can be produced through cloning in monkeys. It's been done in mice, but scientists had long been frustrated in their attempts in primates, where the research would be more relevant to humans.The new work was published online Wednesday by the scientific journal Nature. The success was reported earlier this year at a research meeting in Australia, where it received limited media coverage. The results were given new attention Tuesday by a London newspaper, The Independent.
Dr. George Daley of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, who was familiar with the work, told The Associated Press in an e-mail that it was a a very important demonstration that the process is feasible in primates.Mitalipov's team merged skin cells of a 9-year-old rhesus macaque male with unfertilized monkey eggs that had the DNA removed. The eggs, now operating with DNA from the skin cells, grew into early embryos in the laboratory. Stem cells were recovered from these embryos.

The researchers have applied for a patent on their procedure.

Mitalipov said separate experiments obtained monkey stem cells from a different process called parthenogenesis, in which an egg grows into an early embryo without any genetic contribution from a male. The stem cells were genetic matches to the females that produced the eggs, he said, and early experiments suggest stem cells derived this way may someday prove useful for treating disease in women.Nature took the unusual step of asking a separate group of scientists to verify Mitalipov's cloning results, and it published the verification along with Mitalipov's paper.In an e-mail, the journal cited the highly publicized 2004 fraud that came out of South Korea, where researchers led by Hwang woo-Suk claimed to have produced stem cells from a cloned human embryo.The journal said the research to verify Mitalipov's findings didn't signal mistrust, but noted that questions would likely be raised, and we view this as a relatively straightforward way of putting these questions to rest.The verification study, by David Cram and others at the Monash University in Australia, used DNA analysis of the male macaque, the two monkeys whose eggs were used to create embryos, and the stem cells. The result demonstrates beyond any doubt that the stem cells came from cloned embryos, the Australians wrote in their Nature paper. On the Net:

Palestinian leader refuses to be drawn on Jewish Israel NOV 15,07

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) - Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas on Thursday refused to be drawn on a demand by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that Palestinians recognise the Jewish nature of Israel.
Historic Palestine will be divided into two states -- Israel and Palestine, he told reporters in the West Bank political capital of Ramallah.We do not discuss the character of one or the other. That's all I have to say on the matter, Abbas said at a joint news conference with visiting Ukraine President Victor Yushchenko.

On Wednesday during talks with European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, Olmert said that the starting point for negotiations with the Palestinians following the Annapolis meeting will be recognition of the state of Israel as the state of the Jewish people.Israel and the Palestinians are expected to enter into US-sponsored talks at Annapolis in Maryland before the end of November in a bid to kickstart the dormant Middle East peace process.The prime minister made it clear that from Israel's point-of-view. this issue is not subject to either negotiations or discussion, Olmert's office said.But Israel's demand has already been rejected by the Palestinians as unacceptable because it would mean them effectively renouncing the right of return for refugees ousted when the state of Israel was created in 1948.The fate of those refugees and their descendants -- estimated at 4.5 million people -- is a key issue in the search for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.Israel refuses to countenance talk of their return, saying this would threaten its very existence and make the country's six million Jews a minority.There are 1.3 million Arab-Israeli citizens, 20 percent of the population, who are descended from the 160,000 Palestinians who stayed when Israel was proclaimed 59 years ago.

Abbas wants Hamas ousted on road to peace with Israel by Nasser Abu Bakr NOV 15,07

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) - Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas on Thursday urged the people of Gaza to oust his Islamist rivals who seized control of the territory in June, as he seeks a lasting peace with Israel. We must get rid of this clique that took control of the Gaza Strip by force and which is exploiting the suffering and tragedies of our people, he said in a televised speech from his Ramallah office to mark the 19th anniversary of the symbolic declaration of a Palestinian state.Hamas routed secular Fatah forces loyal to Abbas in mid-June after a week of deadly violence in Gaza, resulting in the fall of the Hamas-led unity government and a new Western-backed government being formed in the West Bank.The feuding has split the Palestinians into two separate entities, with Hamas ruling the roost in Gaza and Abbas's Palestinian Authority administering over parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank.Abbas denounced what he called criminal acts by lawless gangs in Gaza where they opened fire in cold blood on crowds commemorating the third anniversary of the death of the martyr Yasser Arafat.Eight people were killed in Gaza City on Monday when Hamas police shot at demonstrators after a mass rally to remember the late Palestinian leader who died in a Paris hospital on November 11, 2004.Abbas's comments were slammed by Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement).

Hamas is a pillar of the Palestinian people and not a clique that one can simply remove, it said in a statement.Abbas also used his speech to reach out to Israel ahead of a peace meeting in the United States expected later this month.I address the Israeli people and government directly and say that we are determined to agree a real peace with them in the interests of both our future generations, he said.The occupation brings security to nobody. Peace and good neighbourly relations based on equality and respect will bring an end to decades of war, suffering and the spilling of blood.He said the planned meeting in Annapolis, Maryland must mark a serious and decisive departure point to arrive at a just settlement that would guarantee the rights of our people, who aspire to liberty and independence.Our people are determined to create their own state which, with the grace of God, will one day see our territory with Jerusalem as its capital.The two sides have been struggling to thrash out an agreed joint document for the conference that would serve as the basis for future negotiations aimed at creating a Palestinian state.Palestinians want the document to address core issues -- borders, the fate of refugees, settlements, and the status of Jerusalem -- while Israel prefers a more general statement of shared principles.Abbas said colonisation of the West Bank by Jewish settlers must cease completely, the siege must be lifted, prisoners must be allowed home and the cycle of violence and assassinations must become a thing of the past.We are capable of building our state alongside Israel for it to become a haven of peace and stability.However at a joint news conference later with visiting Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko, Abbas refused to be drawn on a demand by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that Palestinians recognise the Jewish nature of Israel. Historic Palestine will be divided into two states -- Israel and Palestine, he said. We do not discuss the character of one or the other.

On Wednesday, Olmert presented this Jewish identity demand as a precondition for progress, with his office saying the issue is not subject to either negotiations or discussion.Meanwhile, a senior Israeli official signalled that Olmert would announce a freeze in West Bank settlement expansion as a goodwill gesture. And on Thursday, Israeli police said they had evicted a dozen settlers and right-wing militants from a wildcat settlement in the northern West Bank. The official said Abbas will also announce freedom for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, but only those who have not been involved in killing Israelis. Olmert is also likely to authorise the transport of goods out of the impoverished Gaza Strip to strengthen Gaza's economy in a way that will clearly give the credit to Abbas, the official said.
