BofA to exit Canada, Europe credit card business
Reuters By David Henry and Joe Rauch | Reuters – AUG 15,11
NEW YORK/CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Reuters) - Bank of America Corp plans to sell its credit card business in Canada to TD Bank Group and will exit the rest of its international card business, the bank said on Monday.TD Bank's agreement with Bank of America, the largest U.S. bank by assets, covers an $8.6 billion card portfolio, according to a Bank of America statement. It did not disclose the value of the transaction.TD Group said it will pick up 1.8 million active card accounts from the deal and that it would pay a modest premium for the card receivables.Bank of America also said it would exit its United Kingdom and Ireland card businesses. It has not made a decision on the future of those businesses, which it may wind down or sell, a spokesman said.The move effectively ends Bank of America's consumer banking operations overseas, and comes as it seeks ways to bulk up its capital cushion.
The bank is fighting lawsuits and credit problems related to its ill-fated acquisition of home mortgage lender Countrywide Financial Corp three years ago as the U.S. housing bubble burst.The bank has lost more than $22 billion in its consumer mortgage division in the last four quarters. It agreed in June to pay $8.5 billion to mortgage securities investors and is fighting numerous lawsuits challenging the settlement and other mortgage issues.The sale was not a reaction to analyst estimates over the last week that the bank would need to raise capital to absorb those losses, said Bank of America spokesman Jerry Dubrowski. The reports sent its shares down by 20 percent last Monday.Bank of America said the deal would have a positive effect on its capital levels. It is expected to close in the fourth quarter.Since Brian Moynihan replaced Kenneth Lewis as chief executive in January 2010, Bank of America has been shedding what it considers noncore assets.Last week, Moynihan said in a conference call with investors that the bank has sold 23 businesses and assets over the last six quarters.The sales ranged from a large portion of the bank's stake in BlackRock Inc , the world's largest asset manager, to Balboa Insurance, which provides foreclosure insurance.The bank has earned $30 billion in proceeds through those asset sales, Dubrowski said.Bank of America said it agreed on August 3 to sell its card business in Spain to Apollo Capital Management. In April, it sold a small business lending portfolio in the UK to Barclays .The bank's shares were up 3 percent at $7.40 in early trading on Monday.

Google to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion
AP – AUG 15,11
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) — Google Inc. is buying cell phone maker Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. for $12.5 billion in cash. It's by far Google's biggest acquisition and a sign the online search leader is serious about expanding beyond its core Internet business and setting the agenda in the fast-growing mobile market.
Google will pay $40.00 per share, a 63 percent premium to Motorola's closing price on Friday.Google's Android operating system runs smartphones that compete with iPhones, BlackBerrys and Windows-based mobile devices. Motorola Mobility was separated from the rest of Motorola in January. The company has remade itself as a maker of smartphones based on Android, but has struggled against Apple Inc. and Asian smartphone makers.Motorola Mobility's total commitment to Android has created a natural fit for our two companies, said Google CEO Larry Page in a statement. Together, we will create amazing user experiences that supercharge the entire Android ecosystem for the benefit of consumers, partners and developers.The acquisition has the approval of both companies' boards and is expected to close by the end of this year or early 2012. That may be overly ambitious, however, as the deal is likely to face regulatory scrutiny. It dwarfs Google's previous biggest deal, the 2008 purchase of DoubleClick for $3.2 billion, which took a year to get approval.What Google likely wants from the acquisition is Motorola's trove of more than 17,000 patents on phone technology. Google recently lost out to a consortium that included Microsoft Corp., Apple and Research In Motion Ltd. in bidding for thousands of patents from Novell Inc., a maker of computer-networking software, and Nortel Networks, a Canadian telecom gear maker that is bankrupt and is selling itself off in pieces.Motorola has nearly three times more patents than Nortel.In premarket trading, shares of Motorola Mobility soared 60 percent, or $14.72, to $39.19. Shares of Google, meanwhile, fell $14.68, or 2.6 percent, to $549.95.

US Downgrade: World Is Calling Even Louder For A New Global Currency The American Dream Aug 15, 2011
For decades, the U.S. economy was so dominant compared to the rest of the world that nobody really even challenged the status of the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency of the world. But now that U.S. government debt has been downgraded, the U.S. dollar is showing significant weakness and the U.S. economy continues to crumble, the rest of the world is questioning whether the U.S. dollar should be allowed to continue to have such a privileged position in the global marketplace. Politicians all over the world are now openly calling for a new global currency to replace the U.S. dollar in international trade. In fact, we are already seeing a shift away from the dollar in many areas of the globe. A decade ago, the U.S. dollar made up approximately 70% of all foreign exchange reserves around the world. Today, that figure is down to about 60%, and it continues to fall. As the debt problems of the U.S. government get even deeper, and as the U.S. dollar loses even more strength, the calls for a truly global currency are going to grow even louder.Right now, the global financial system is still based on the U.S. dollar to a very large degree. But dissatisfaction with the status quo is growing around the world. Many are blaming the United States for the massive financial problems that we have had in recent years.Many global politicians these days seem quite eager to jump on any chance to criticize the U.S. financial system. In particular, the recent downgrade of long-term U.S. government debt by S&P has provided plenty of ammunition for international proponents of a new global currency.The largest bank in Saudi Arabia, National Commercial Bank, recently had the following to say about the U.S. dollar….The size of the US economy and its treasury market and the dollar’s status as a reserve currency make it impossible to find a historical parallel for the current situation. However, being the world’s reserve currency, the US dollar now appears inconsistent with an AA+ rating.China’s official Xinhua news agency has been brutally attacking the U.S. financial system in recent days. The following is one example….The only way the Americans have come up with to improve economic growth has been to take on new loans to repay the old ones.In fact, Xinhua has even gone so far to suggest that U.S. monetary policy should be under international supervision and that a new global reserve currency should be created….
International supervision over the issue of U.S. dollars should be introduced and a new, stable and secured global reserve currency may also be an option to avert a catastrophe caused by any single country.The Russian government has also been a vocal proponent of a shift away from the U.S. dollar. At a G8 summit back in 2009, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev openly spoke of the need for a new global currency and he evenshowed reporters a coin that represented what a “united future world currency could potentially look like.But it is not just individual nations that have been calling for a change. Over the last couple of years, the United Nations has repeatedly called for the U.S. dollar to be replaced as the global reserve currency.
For instance, a UN report entitled The U.N. World Economic and Social Survey 2010″ openly talked about how the transition from the U.S. dollar to a new global currency could be accomplished. The report made very few headlines around the world, but Americans need to understand that the UN itself is openly plotting to dethrone the U.S. dollar. The following is a brief excerpt from the report….A new global reserve system could be created, one that no longer relies on the United States dollar as the single major reserve currency.The IMF has also been instrumental in promoting the idea of a new global currency. In a recent report entitled Enhancing International Monetary Stability—A Role for the SDR, the IMF discussed the problems with having the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency of the world and it postulated that a larger role for SDRs (Special Drawing Rights) could potentially be an important step toward a true global currency.In fact, the report described SDRs as an embryo from which a new global currency could ultimately develop.So what would a global currency look like? While he was still head of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn openly called for the introduction of a global currency backed by a global central bank which would act as the lender of last resort in the event of a severe economic crisis….Finally, in principle, a new global currency issued by a global central bank, with robust governance and institutional features, could provide a nominal anchor and risk-free asset for the system independent of national currencies. This global central bank could also serve as a lender of last resort.
But is that what we really need? A global currency issued by a global central bank?
Such a system would not be accountable to American voters whatsoever.Not that the Federal Reserve is accountable to us right now, but at least there is some hope of abolishing the Fed under the U.S. Constitution.Under a global central banking system, the American people would have essentially no power over the monetary system and the international bankers would have almost all the power.Of course that is what the international bankers have always wanted – complete control over the financial system of the entire world.Sadly, it seems as though whenever financial problems arise these days, the solutions we are given always involves more centralization of financial power.
There seems to be a growing consensus among the ultra-wealthy and the global elite that a one world financial system is what we need. But getting there will not be easy. The U.S. dollar is not dead yet, and much of the rest of the world has grown accustomed to using it.However, if the U.S. dollar were to collapse, that could create a crisis which would give the global elite the excuse they need to push us in the direction of a truly global currency.Let’s hope that nothing like this happens any time soon.Could you imagine living in a world in which you were unable to buy or sell unless you participated in the global currency system? That is a frightening thing to think about.Our world is changing, and not for the better.A global currency would be a really, really bad idea. Hopefully we still have some more time before one gets rammed down our throats.
Nuclear Expert: Radioactive Rain-Outs Will Continue For a Year-Even In Western U.S. and Canada – Because Japanese Are Burning Radioactive Materials Washington’s Blog Aug 15, 2011
Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen says in a new interview that the Japanese are burning radioactive materials. The radioactivity originated from Fukushima, but various prefectures are burning radioactive materials in their terroritories.Gundersen says that this radioactivity ends up not only in neighboring prefectures, but in Hawaii, British Columbia, Oregon, Washington and California.He notes that radioactive rain-outs were documented recently in British Columbia and Oklahoma with geiger counters.Gundersen is working with scientists who will publish a paper in the near future definitively debunking Canadian and American health officials’ claims that only harmless levels of radiation are being released.Gundersen has a high-level contact in the State Department who says that the U.S. government has decided – within various agencies, including the State Department, FDA, and other agencies – to downplay the dangers from Fukushima. Because of this policy decision, the government is not really testing for radiation.Gundersen says that well see another year of radioactive rain-outs, as the Japanese continue to burn radioactive materials.
Reuters Edits Iowa Poll Reality According to Globalist Agenda-Or how Reuters slit its legitimacy’s wrists.Tony Cartalucci Infowars.com Aug 15, 2011
Often cited as a reliable, reputable news source, Reuters is in actuality nothing more than another den of duplicity bought and paid for by the corporate financiers ruling/ruining Western civilization. Their latest article titled,Bachmann and Perry – a beautiful 2012 rivalry sidelines reality according to the globalist script so soundly you can almost hear the noses of Reuters editors’ growing. The GOP Iowa debate saw Ron Paul annihilate the competition with counts showing him as far as three times further ahead of the next runner-up Newt Gingrich. However, the final tally of the Iowa straw poll saw establishment footstool Michele Bachmann eke out Ron Paul by a mere 152 votes. Despite the closeness of the race and the immense political ramifications of a candidate labeled by the corporate media as part of fringe politics finishing neck-to-neck with the insincere Bachmann, Reuters decided to write about Rick Perry’s insignificant, meaningless, though establishment approved, entry into the GOP 2012 race instead. Not a single mention of Ron Paul was made.Image: Thomson Rueters, while masquerading as a reputable news agency, in reality maintains an incestuous relationship with globalist corporate-financier interests which it shares memberships with upon the Council on Foreign Relations and the Chatham House. Reuters’ biased reporting indicates impropriety regarding the immense conflict of interest its membership in these elitist think-tanks engender.
Reuters does however mention second place runner up, in the 2007 straw poll that is, Mike Huckabee, as well as Mitt Romney who finished seventh this year in Iowa. Ron Paul is suspiciously edited out of the entire story, despite being a front-runner with 4,671 votes compared to Rick Perry’s back-chaseing 718 votes. If a reader was foolishly depending on Reuters for complete coverage of what took place in Iowa, they might not even know Ron Paul existed – and that is exactly the point.Rick Perry, who recently and very much farcically claimed America cannot afford four more years of this rudderless leadership, already has the frothing madmen currently engineering Obama’s multiple wars behind the scenes, lining up behind him for indeed, four more years of what Perry calls rudderless leadership. Foreign Policy recently reported that warmongering Neo-Con scum including Douglas Feith, William Luti, Andrew McCarthy, Charles Stimson, and Daniel Fata, with the help of certified warmonger and corporate fascist Donald Rumsfeld, had been introduced to Rick Perry to help him brush up on foreign policy. Also meeting with Perry was Dan Blumenthal of the Neo-Con, Fortune 500-funded AEI, Peter Brookes of the Fortune 500-funded Heritage Foundation (page 35), and Zalmay Khalizad, a fellow Neo-Con warmonger, PNAC signatory, and a member of the extraterritorial meddling National Endowment for Democracy’s board of directors, to help Perry define his hawk internationalist foreign policy stance.By hawk internationalist, Foreign Policy indicates that it means, embracing American exceptionalism and the unique role we must play in confronting the many threats we face. In actual terms it means embracing more wars, more meddling abroad, more corporate fascist agendas to expand their financial, military, and economic hegemony worldwide ramrodded through at the expense of American sovereignty, treasure, and blood. In all, Perry is a handpicked star candidate for the global elite for whom Reuters really writes for, which is why despite reality, Bachmann and Perry make a beautiful 2012 rivalry.
While it would be folly to take one poorly written article clearly biased and detached from reality to malign an entire news organization, Reuters has recently been making quite a case against itself. It has produced the now exposed, disgraced journalist Andrew Marshall who claims to have now quit the news agency to write his own meaningless commentary about equally meaningless US State Department commentary allegedly contained within Wikileaks. To top it all off – he has suspiciously decided to myopically obsess over Wikileaks cables only pertaining to attacking the Thai government and Thai institutions operating beyond globalist control and funding, in tandem with hired globalist lawyer Robert Amsterdam.Reuters has also joined in on the concerted use of weasel words and citing witness accounts to help sell the war in Libya as well as promote Western intervention in Syria.Readers will also be interested to know that Thomson Reuters is a corporate member of the globalist Fortune 500 lined Chatham House think tank and the Council on Foreign Relationssignifying a grotesquely overt conflict of interest between their reporting and their defending of a corporate establishment they are incestuously involved with. With this in mind, it is no surprise that they are pushing Perry and Bachmann, two candidates who regardless of which wins, will allow the unraveling of America at the hands of the corporate-financiers of Wall Street and London to continue or perhaps even accelerate unchallenged.To rework Rick Perry’s cartoonish soundbite into something more palatable, America cannot afford another day of duplicity from the illegitimate, overtly compromised mainstream media and the megalomaniacs that use them to push their psychopathic agenda. Don’t let the slick logos and million-dollar studios fool you, Thompson Reuters with their overt hackery, has slit the wrists of their own legitimacy with their latest article. Expect Reuters to continue bleeding its legitimacy dry, and expect it to be joined by others as reality continues to clash with an ever tenuous globalist narrative unraveling before the world’s eyes.

Merkel and Sarkozy meet as Berlin rejects eurobonds
Today AUG 15,11 @ 09:26 By Honor Mahony
The leaders of France and Germany are meeting on Tuesday in a further attempt to stem the eurozone debt crisis following last week’s strong market turbulence, but Berlin has ruled out any mutualisation of euro countries’ debt.The German parliament is to discuss the latest eurozone plans in September (Jorge Franganillo)German chancellor Angela Merkel will travel to Paris to meet president Nicolas Sarkozy, who last week became the latest eurozone leader to feel the pressure amid speculation that France would be next to lose its top level credit rating.The markets will be closely watching the crisis meeting having picked holes in each of the eurozone’s hastily agreed solutions to date.But despite the intense scrutiny and pressure, it is unclear what major initiatives the two leaders can agree, with Merkel facing a parliament already rebellious about the second bailout for Greece agreed at a eurozone summit in late July.Ahead of the meeting, German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble rejected the creation of Eurobonds, which would pool the debt of eurozone countries.
No eurobonds
I rule out eurobonds for as long as member states conduct their own financial policies and we need different rates of interest in order that there are possible incentives and sanctions to enforce fiscal solidity, he told Der Spiegel.Berlin’s refusal to countenance this path comes as Giulio Tremonti, finance minister of Italy – another country under intense market pressure – described jointly issued bonds as a master solution for the eurozone debt crisis.Proponents of eurobonds say they would lower the borrowing costs for struggling eurozone countries but others say they would also raise the cost for countries such as Germany, which has to date benefitted from being viewed as a safe bet by markets.Both Sarkozy and Merkel are going into Tuesday's meeting with their own set of acute domestic problems.The French president is facing elections next year and is desperate to be seen to be mastering the economic situation, with figures released last Friday showing zero economic growth in the second quarter.The German chancellor meanwhile is conscious of the popular and political antipathy towards the steps already agreed by EU leaders in July to help troubled eurozone countries.The measures to make the €440 billion eurozone rescue fund more flexible have to be ratified by national parliaments. Merkel has said she hopes German MPs will give the green light by the end of September. But the speaker of the German parliament, Norbert Lammert, a member of Merkel's Christian Democratic Party, indicated that this timetable may be too ambitious.The European recovery mechanism issue is so important that parliament cannot debate it with the necessary care and vote on it in the course of just a few days, Lammert told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung paper on Sunday.It will hardly be possible to deal with the matter between September 20 and 23, he said of the government’s plans.There is also opposition among the Liberals who are part of the governing coalition.We will not hand out a blank cheque to buy other country's bonds,said Rainer Bruederle, leader of the liberals in the parliament.
Soros: China will save the euro
Today AUG 15,11 @ 12:01 By Andrew Rettman
Financier George Soros has told Der Spiegel the euro will survive because China will prop it up: The Chinese have a huge interest in an alternative to the dollar and will do everything possible to help Europeans save it. Greece and Portugal should quit the currency, he added however.
Do Israeli Judges Look Down on Jewish Civil Law? Dr. Aviad Hacohen found that many Israeli judges look down on the use of Jewish law. His college offers an alternative.
by Elad Benari Published: 15/08/11, 1:14 AM
According to a new study by Dr. Aviad Hacohen, Dean of the Shaarei Mishpat College, despite the talk by officials in Israel’s judicial system about the importance of Jewish law and its integration into the Israeli legal system, in practice no use is made of it and those who use it are looked down upon.Justice Minister Yaakov Ne’eman has called in the past to incorporate mishpat ivri (Jewish civil law) into Israel’s law procedures. He is the present-day representative of a long tradition in the religious Zionist sphere, of those who hoped for mishpat Ivri to be the law of the Land.These included Rabbi Kook, Rabbi Maimon and the hareidi-religious Rabbi Eliezer Waldenburg (the latter, in his book Hilchot Medinah, referred to it as atchalta d'Geulah, the start of the redemption, in the arising of our own state on part of our Holy Land, with our own independent government,page 8).While some criticized the idea, including opposition leader Tzipi Livni, others supported Ne’eman, including former Justice Minister Moshe Nissim, who is an observant Jew and son of a former Sephardic Chief Rabbi.There have also been calls to make Jewish monetary law a part of Israeli law. The values and ethics in mishpat ivri are seen as placing it a notch above precedent-based law, as Jewish civil law has the stated objective of building a healthy, caring and just society.But as Hacohen told Arutz Sheva on Sunday, the trend as can be seen from his research is a move away from Jewish law rather than toward it.The phenomenon of not using halakah is not a new phenomenon, he said, pointing out that there have been a few exceptions but that in general the Supreme Court does not heed Jewish law in its rulings.The problem, however, said Dr. Hacohen, is that not only is there no use of Jewish law in court rulings, but judges actually make fun of the Jewish law.
For example, he said, according to some guidelines that were distributed to judges, there is no need for an Israeli judge to have proven knowledge of Jewish law. He added that this is as evidence of a perception that judges who chose to rely on Jewish law may be not be promoted because of this fact.Dr. Hacohen said that this attitude permeates the legal system, as judges and other individuals with senior positions in the judicial system say that young students should not waste their time studying Jewish law since it has no real chance of being used.He brought another example of a judge who noticed that his friend was engaged in Jewish law and asked him, Why did you dive into the deep waters of the Jewish law?, or in other words: why are you engaged in something which has no real legal need? Dr. Hacohen pointed out that these and other examples go against the Israeli law which requires a judge to turn to halakhic sources, especially when making decisions concerning fundamental rights, which Israeli law states must be based on Israel’s Jewish and democratic values.There are judges who do quote Jewish civil law in their rulings, but they are becoming few and far between. This was a point of divergence between former Chief Justice Menachem Elon, who championed the use of Jewish civil law, and former Chief Justice Aharon Barak, who based his rulings on non-Jewish sources.It is out of this concern that the Shaarei Mishpat College, which Dr. Hacohen heads, has launched a graduate program that will approach and make use of Jewish law from the start and not in retrospect.Bar Ilan University's law department has mandatory courses in mishpat ivri as well as the opportunity for advanced degrees specializing in it. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has a Mishpat Ivri Research Institute, once headed by former Chief Justice Elon.
US Helps Pay PA Terrorists Who Murdered Americans-Every single PA terrorist in Israel's jails receives a monthly salary from the PA, courtesy of American taxpayers.
by Gil Ronen Published: 15/08/11, 11:26 AM
Every single Palestinian Authority terrorist held in an Israeli jail receives a monthly salary from the PA. Terrorists who committed the most heinous crimes – and therefore received longer sentences – receive the most money, according to a report in Israeli paper Yisrael Hayom.Citing a report received by a senior government official in Jerusalem, the paper says that the terrorists' salaries are paid from the PA's public budget,which accounts for about 3.5 percent of its total budget.The PA treasury receives cash from two main sources: the US pays about 50 percent of the money, and the rest is mostly from European Union member nations.Prisoners who were jailed for periods of up to five years receive 1,400 to 2,000 NIS per month. However, terrorists serving 10 to 15 years receive 6,000 shekels, the ones serving 15 to 20 years receive 10,000 shekels, and those serving 20 to 30 years get 12,000 shekels. These are people who planned, directed and took part in the intentional sadistic slaughter of civilian men, women and children, at point blank range.Since some of the victims of PA terror are American citizens, the information means that US taxpayers pay monthly salaries to the people who murdered their fellow citizens. The latest US citizen who was a victim of PA terror is Ben Yosef Livnat, who was gunned down in Shechem.The terrorists' wives and children receive additional cash, and prisoners with Israel citizenship get a bonus.

A-Jad Threatens Regrettable Response If Iran is Attacked-Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad promised a regrettable response to any strike by Israel or the US on its nuclear facilities.by Gavriel Queenann Published: 14/08/11, 1:04 PM
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Israel and the US against launching a war on Iran saying the Islamic Republic's response to any strike will be regrettable.They wish to do it, they want to do it, but they know about our power. They know that we are going to give them a decisive response,Ahmadinejad said in an interview with Russia Today on Saturday.We have a saying in our language: If someone throws a smaller stone (at you), you should respond with a bigger stone. We will defend ourselves within our capabilities,he added.However, Ahmadinejad expressed hope that such a day will never come as there is no reason for any strike against Iran.He claimed that Israel was founded for the purpose of making threats and aggression and securing the interests of the West.Amid a standoff over Iran's nuclear program, both Tel Aviv and Washington have repeatedly threatened Tehran with the option of a military strike, based on strong western suspicions Iran's nuclear program harbors a covert military agenda. Iran says its nuclear program is completely peaceful and within the framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, to which it is a signatory.The International Atomic Energy Association, the world body's nuclear watchdog, says Iran has obstructed efforts to inspect facilities under the NPT and has sought nuclear technology that has only military applications.
Iranian officials have warned that any act of aggression by the US and Israel against Iran would be firmly responded to and could result in a war that would spread beyond the Middle East.In June, former head of Israel's Mossad spy agency Meir Dagan warned that any attack on Tehran by Tel Aviv would result in a regional war.It is important to know what the outcome of an attack on Iran would be, what would happen on the day after and what situation Israel would find itself in on the international stage, he said.Others in the government, including Minister for Strategic Affairs and former IDF COS Moshe (Bougie) Ayalon (Likud) say a pre-emptive strike might be necessary, claiming that President Obama will not act until it is too late.Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini has reportedly ordered Iran's Revolutionary Guards to complete and test a working nuclear bomb by 2012. A website affiliated with the Guards published a report fantasizing about 'the day after' a successful Iranian nuclear bomb test shortly thereafter.
Report: Israel and Hamas Hold Schalit Talks in Cairo-Al Hayat says Israel and Gaza terror entity have resumed negotiations, will talk through Egyptian intermediaries
by Gil Ronen Published: 15/08/11, 10:32 AM
Israel and the terror entity Hamas have resumed negotiations over the release of Gilad Schalit, according to Al Hayat, a London-based Arabic newspaper. Schalit has been held incommunicado by Hamas for over five years.The newspaper reports that Israel's emissary, David Meidan, and Hamas terror chief Ahmed Jaabari will probably arrive at the Egyptian Intelligence Headquarters Monday and conduct indirect negotiations. Hamas and Israeli delegations will sit in separate rooms, with an Egyptian team mediating.An Egyptian source told Al Hayat that Meidan and Jaabari were both in Cairo last week, and held separate meetings with senior Egyptians. These meetings led to the resumption of indirect talks.The Egyptian source said that there was no breakthrough in the talks as of yet. He said that agreement is possible if Israel is willing to pay a price for Schalit and that Hamas is interested in a deal with fair conditions. Bereaved parents in Israel have demanded that the government tell the public which terrorists it intends to release in exchange for Schalit.Schalit's parents recently met Rav Ovadiah Yosef and asked him to exert pressure on the government to effect the release of their son.

Report: Abbas and Peres Secretly Met Four Times-PA official says Mahmoud Abbas and President Shimon Peres had four secret meetings in an attempt to revive peace talks.by Elad Benari Published: 14/08/11, 4:43 AM
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmud Abbas held four secret meetings with Israeli President Shimon Peres in a bid to revive stalled peace talks, a PA official told AFP on Saturday.The official quoted Abbas as saying at a meeting of his Fatah party on Friday, I met Shimon Peres four times in Amman and London in an attempt to restart negotiations and the peace process on a correct foundation.He did not state what Peres wished to promise Abbas that PM Netanyahu did not sanction. Peres is the architect of the disastrous Oslo Accords which were negotiated behind the backs of the Israeli public and the Knesset. Then-Prime Minister Rabin himself only heard of them a year after they had begun.Shimon Peres assured me that the negotiations between us could lead to results that could be adopted by the Netanyahu government, the official quoted Abbas as saying, but noted that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu thwarted those efforts.After the first four meetings, a fifth was scheduled in Amman, but Shimon Peres apologized and said, I’m sorry but the government does not accept that we negotiate and I cannot do anything,Abbas said at the Friday gathering, according to the official.Earlier this month it was reported that a meeting that was supposed to have been held between Peres and Abbas had been cancelled at Peres’ request.Israel's president's role is defined as ceremonial and apolitical, but Peres, more than any other president in Israel's history, has ignored that. His views on concessions to the PA are different from those of Israel's elected government.
Fatah Central Committee member Nabil Shaath announced that the meeting had been cancelled because Peres claimed that he had received nothing from Netanyahu that he could present to Abbas.Peres is the coiner of the term New Middle East, his prediction that economic prosperity, helped and promoted by Israel, would bring peace, which has turned into a non-brainer as the Arab Spring brings violence and more virulent anti-Israel hatred to the Middle East.A spokesman for Peres declined to comment about Saturday’s AFP report.Earlier on Saturday, PA Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Malki told AFP that the Palestinian Authority statehood bid will be presented to the United Nations on September 20.Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas will personally present the request to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon at the opening of the sixty-sixth session (Sept 20), Malki said.In response, Netanyahu’s office described the announcement as expected and unfortunate.It seems that Abu Mazen [Abbas] has decided to avoid direct negotiations, a PMO statement said.Bypassing negotiatons means giving up on the idea of achieving peace with Israel.
PMO: Abbas Avoiding Peace Talks-The Prime Minister's Office says the PA statehood bid at the UN set for September 20 proves Abbas is bypassing negotiating for peace.by Gavriel Queenann Published: 13/08/11, 10:39 PM
The Prime Minister's Office on Saturday described the Palestinian Authority's announcement it would submit its statehood bid to the United Nations on September 20 as expected and unfortunate.PA Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki on Saturday informed UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon that PA President Mahmoud Abbas will ask the international community to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state on the first day of the annual opening gathering at UN headquarters in New York.It seems that Abu Mazen [Abbas] has decided to avoid direct negotiations, a PMO statement said in response to the PA announcement. This, in effect, means that the PA has decided not to try to achieve peace with Israel.The Israeli mission to the UN responded to news the PA has decided to go ahead with its statehood bid by reiterating calls to return to the negotiating table.Opposition leader Tzipi Livni on Saturday repeated her well-worn mantra that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's failure to engage in negotiations with the PA led to its decision to ask the United Nations to recognize a Palestinian State on September 20.The Palestinian decision is bad for Israel and only one person is responsible for this diplomatic failure - Netanyahu, Livni said in a statement. Netanyahu's inability to understand the situation and his refusal to continue negotiations -- which Kadima had been holding in keeping with Israel's best interests -- are leading Israel to one of the most dangerous diplomatic failures in its history,she added.
Livni did not address PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas' two-year refusal to come to the negotiating table without preconditions prejudicing talks in favor of his maximalist positions, his refusal to recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland or acknowledge Israeli concessions she herself backed -- such as the ten month freeze on Jewish construction in the 'disputed territories' -- undertaken in the vain hopes of drawing the PA back to the table.MK Arye Eldad (National Union) on Saturday night called on Israel to cancel the Oslo Accords in reaction to the Palestinian announcement. Minister Uzi Landau (Yisrael Beitenu) said the same a day earlier.The Government of Israel should announce immediately that with this application to the UN the Oslo Accords will be canceled and Israel should declare that Israeli law will be implemented in Judea and Samaria,Eldad said in a statement.
PA Statehood Bid Set for September 20-The Palestinian Authority has set opening day at the United Nations in September as the day it will present its statehood bid.by Gavriel Queenann Published: 13/08/11, 10:16 PM
The Palestinian Authority statehood bid will be presented to the United Nations on September 20, PA Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Malki told AFP on Saturday.Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas will personally present the request to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon at the opening of the sixty-sixth session (Sept 20), Malki said.Abbas will insist on this historic initiative and Ban Ki-moon will present the request to the Security Council, he added.Malki said PA officials chose September because Lebanon, which will hold the presidency of the Security Council, would be in a strong position to push the bid forward.Lebanon will hold the presidency of the Security Council in September and this will help us because the president of the council has special prerogatives, which is crucial, he said.The bid comes despite strong doubts over PA readiness for statehood due to fiscal insolvency, corruption, its inability to form a unity government, and concerns over the inclusion of the Hamas terror organization in its ranks.Last month, a routine Security Council debate on the Middle East became Israel and the PA's dress rehearsal for September's General Assembly conference where the PA will seek UN recognition.
PA observer Riyad Mansour called on the UN to recognize a PA state.It's time to end the occupation, he said.Israel's Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor warned that the PA decision to bypass peace talks will lead only to frustration and violence. He also referred to the move as a false idol.Israel's government has said unilateral moves by the PA will be met with a diplomatic eye for an eye.

SINCE WHAT ISRAEL READS WILL BE FULFILLED IN THAT WEEK I WILL BE PUTTING THE WEEKLY TORAH PORTION ON FOR ALL OF US TO KEEP TRACK OF ISRAEL HAPPENINGS.
TORAH PORTION FROM AUGUST 14,2011 6PM - AUGUST 20,6PM 2011
DEUTERONOMY 7:12 - 11:25
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
19 The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
22 And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
DEUTERONOMY 8:1-20
1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
DEUTERONOMY 9:1-29
1 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
7 Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.
8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
10 And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
12 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
13 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.
20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.
23 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
25 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
26 I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
DEUTERONOMY 10:1-22
1 At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.
2 And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
3 And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.
4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.
5 And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.
6 And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.
7 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
9 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.
10 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.
11 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.
12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD'S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
15 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
DEUTERONOMY 11:1-25
1 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.
2 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;
5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;
6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.
8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;
9 And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
12 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
17 And then the LORD'S wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
PROPHETS PORTION
ISAIAH 49:14-51:3
14 But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
17 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth.
19 For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.
20 The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?
22 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
25 But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
ISAIAH 50:1-11
1 Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2 Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
5 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10 Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
ISAIAH 51:1-3
1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
NEW TESTAMENT PORTION
MATTHEW 4:1-11
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
LUKE 4:1-13
1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
JAMES 5:7-11
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
TORAH PORTION FROM AUGUST 14,2011 6PM - AUGUST 20,6PM 2011
DEUTERONOMY 7:12 - 11:25
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
19 The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
22 And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
DEUTERONOMY 8:1-20
1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
DEUTERONOMY 9:1-29
1 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
7 Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.
8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
10 And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
12 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
13 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.
20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.
23 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
25 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
26 I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
DEUTERONOMY 10:1-22
1 At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.
2 And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
3 And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.
4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.
5 And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.
6 And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.
7 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
9 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.
10 And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.
11 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.
12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD'S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
15 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
DEUTERONOMY 11:1-25
1 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.
2 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;
5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;
6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.
8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;
9 And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
12 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
17 And then the LORD'S wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
PROPHETS PORTION
ISAIAH 49:14-51:3
14 But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
17 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth.
19 For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.
20 The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?
22 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
25 But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
ISAIAH 50:1-11
1 Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2 Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
5 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10 Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
ISAIAH 51:1-3
1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
NEW TESTAMENT PORTION
MATTHEW 4:1-11
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
LUKE 4:1-13
1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
JAMES 5:7-11
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

Smart skin: Electronics that stick and stretch like a temporary tattoo
skin tatoo-An ultrathin, electronic patch with the mechanics of skin, applied to the wrist for EMG and other measurements.8/11/2011 | Liz Ahlberg, Physical Sciences Editor | 217-244-1073; eahlberg@illinois.edu
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Engineers have developed a device platform that combines electronic components for sensing, medical diagnostics, communications and human-machine interfaces, all on an ultrathin skin-like patch that mounts directly onto the skin with the ease, flexibility and comfort of a temporary tattoo.
skin scrunched-Led by John A. Rogers, the Lee J. Flory-Founder professor of engineering at the University of Illinois, the researchers described their novel skin-mounted electronics in the Aug. 12 issue of the journal Science.The circuit bends, wrinkles and stretches with the mechanical properties of skin. The researchers demonstrated their concept through a diverse array of electronic components mounted on a thin, rubbery substrate, including sensors, LEDs, transistors, radio frequency capacitors, wireless antennas, and conductive coils and solar cells for power.We threw everything in our bag of tricks onto that platform, and then added a few other new ideas on top of those, to show that we could make it work,” said Rogers, a professor of materials science and engineering, of chemistry, of mechanical science and engineering, of bioengineering and of electrical and computer engineering. He also is affiliated with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, and with the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory at U. of I.
The patches are initially mounted on a thin sheet of water-soluble plastic, then laminated to the skin with water – just like applying a temporary tattoo. Alternately, the electronic components can be applied directly to a temporary tattoo itself, providing concealment for the electronics.We think this could be an important conceptual advance in wearable electronics, to achieve something that is almost unnoticeable to the wearer, said U. of I. electrical and computer engineering professor Todd Coleman, who co-led the multi-disciplinary team. “The technology can connect you to the physical world and the cyberworld in a very natural way that feels very comfortable.Skin-mounted electronics have many biomedical applications, including EEG and EMG sensors to monitor nerve and muscle activity. One major advantage of skin-like circuits is that they don’t require conductive gel, tape, skin-penetrating pins or bulky wires, which can be uncomfortable for the user and limit coupling efficiency. They are much more comfortable and less cumbersome than traditional electrodes and give the wearers complete freedom of movement.If we want to understand brain function in a natural environment, that’s completely incompatible with EEG studies in a laboratory, said Coleman, now a professor at the University of California at San Diego.The best way to do this is to record neural signals in natural settings, with devices that are invisible to the user.Monitoring in a natural environment during normal activity is especially beneficial for continuous monitoring of health and wellness, cognitive state or behavioral patterns during sleep.In addition to gathering data, skin-mounted electronics could provide the wearers with added capabilities. For example, patients with muscular or neurological disorders, such as ALS, could use them to communicate or to interface with computers. The researchers found that, when applied to the skin of the throat, the sensors could distinguish muscle movement for simple speech. The researchers have even used the electronic patches to control a video game, demonstrating the potential for human-computer interfacing.
Rogers’ group is well known for its innovative stretchable, flexible devices, but creating devices that could comfortably contort with the skin required a new fabrication paradigm.Our previous stretchable electronic devices are not well-matched to the mechanophysiology of the skin, Rogers said.In particular, the skin is extremely soft, by comparison, and its surface can be rough, with significant microscopic texture. These features demanded different kinds of approaches and design principles.Rogers collaborated with Northwestern University engineering professor Yonggang Huang and his group to tackle the difficult mechanics and materials questions. The team developed a device geometry they call filamentary serpentine, in which the circuits for the various devices are fabricated as tiny, squiggled wires. When mounted on thin, soft rubber sheets, the wavy, snakelike shape allows them to bend, twist, scrunch and stretch while maintaining functionality.The blurring of electronics and biology is really the key point here,Huang said.All established forms of electronics are hard, rigid. Biology is soft, elastic. It’s two different worlds. This is a way to truly integrate them.The researchers used simple adaptations of techniques used in the semiconductor industry, so the patches are easily scalable and manufacturable. The device company mc10, which Rogers co-founded, already is working to commercialize certain versions of the technology.
Next, the researchers are working to integrate the various devices mounted on the platform so that they work together as a system, rather than individually functioning devices, and to add Wi-Fi capability.The vision is to exploit these concepts in systems that have self-contained, integrated functionality, perhaps ultimately working in a therapeutic fashion with closed feedback control based on integrated sensors, in a coordinated manner with the body itself,Rogers said.The National Science Foundation and the Air Force Research Laboratory supported this work.

INFOWARS SPECIAL REPORT: Globalists’ Extermination List Exposed Aaron Dykes Infowars.com August 12, 2011
In a Special Infowars Report, researcher Aaron Dykes exposes the global population database apparatus used by eugenicists to target populations for reduced births, soft kill and extermination. From the IBM-developed Hollerith punchcards used in the 1890 U.S. census, to race-mixing studies for Cold Springs Harbor and concentration camps in Rockefeller-funded Nazi Germany, eugenicists have long tabulated vital statistics in order to attack subtly and with precision.Now they are targeting our food supplies, water, air and environment in attempt to shut off our future. How will elites utilize the human genome code, blood samples and DNA they’ve spent decades compiling? Why do foundations of the rich spend so much on the 3rd World population reduction? Aaron Dykes reports on the New World Order’s obsession with eugenics and population control.

6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

Flood damage to key Iowa highway a setback, engineers say Reuters By David Hendee – Fri Aug 12, 8:30 pm ET
OMAHA, Neb (Reuters) – This year's flooding along the Missouri River has eroded bridges and roadbed on Interstate Highway 29 in southwest Iowa, a key point in the route between Kansas City, Missouri, and Fargo, North Dakota.Inspections on two I-29 bridges near Hamburg, Iowa, found damage caused by scouring floodwater including an 11-foot hole under the pavement, said Bob Younie, maintenance chief for the Iowa Transportation Department.The discovery was a setback to hopes that I-29 would reopen quickly after water recedes next month following flooding on the Missouri River that has soaked property from Montana through Missouri this year.Interstate 29 and southwest Iowa have been inundated since June by flooding created by record releases from Army Corps of Engineers dams on the Missouri River in the northern plains.The river was not expected to return to its banks until late September. It was more than five feet above flood stage on Friday at Omaha and more than four feet above flood stage at Hamburg, Iowa.Flood-caused scouring has also damaged I-680 near near Omaha's Mormon Bridge. At least seven highways in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa remain closed by flooding.Younie said he hoped all flooded roads in western Iowa would be open by winter, but officials were still unable to completely assess damage.(Editing by James B.

Candles flicker, mourners drum for dead in Japan tsunami town Reuters By Yoko Kubota – Fri Aug 12, 9:29 am ET
KESENNUMA, Japan (Reuters) – Children in a tsunami-devastated town in northeast Japan lit 10,000 candles and banged taiko drums Friday on the eve of "obon," a Buddhist ceremony to honor the dead, as residents struggle to rebuild lives five months after the disaster.Kesennuma, a scenic fishing town some 400 km (248 miles) northeast of Tokyo, was engulfed by fire after it was struck by a magnitude 9.0 quake and a huge tsunami on March 11. The disaster left more than 20,400 dead or missing in Japan, and triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis in 25 years at Fukushima.In Kesennuma, about 1,000 out of 73,500 residents died and more than 400 are missing, presumed dead. While police still search, some survivors who lost their loved ones or have waited for their return are now trying to move on.Sadness is sadness. But it is an emotion that people should not hang on to forever, said Kanji Hatakeyama, a city official who also lost his home to the tsunami, as he watched kids play traditional songs on Japanese drums at a summer festival.Over the last month, the pages of a local newspaper were filled with death notices, and many funerals for the missing were held as residents sought emotional closure before obon in mid-August, when families welcome back the spirits of the dead.Obon is celebrated every year, but residents say this year's event is different as Kesennuma copes with losses, and works to rebuild.The town has worked to clear the heaps of mud and rubble that covered much of its coastal areas, once famous for bonito and tuna fishing. Much has been removed, though piles of burned cars and debris still remain, now home to crows and flies.Takehiko Sugawara, a 42-year-old temporary city official who lost his job at a fishery destroyed by the tsunami and was helping to decontaminate ground among the debris, said he was too busy to get emotional.It is obon time, but we don't have things ready. We have so much to do and I don't have a moment to feel sad, said Sugawara, adding he feels he has not been able to honor properly his parents, who were washed away by the tsunami.
MOVING FORWARD
I am sorry for my parents, but I have a child and I need to move forward. I want to tell them to please wait a little bit more ... I am doing the best in the way that I can,added Sugawara, unable to hold back tears as he spoke of his mother.Nearly 13,000 houses were damaged and about 1,500 evacuees are still in shelters waiting for temporary housing. The city plans to deliver its reconstruction plan by end-September, though some residents complained that it has been too slow.I have been waiting for five months and my stress and blood pressure levels rose, said 71-year-old widower Kuniko Ito, who was talking with her friends at an evacuation shelter in the gym of a hilltop elementary school.(Moving to temporary housing) would help me reach a kind of a closure, but I will also feel lonely once I'm living alone,Ito said, adding she hopes her ancestors will understand that she will have to pray from the shelter this obon season.As evacuees chatted inside, a festival to encourage rebuilding and to commemorate the dead went on in the playground.At dusk, volunteers lit 10,000 candles, etching in flames the Japanese word for prayer and a the outline of a ship carrying a four-leaf clover.They are lined up in a really beautiful way. I feel very happy,said 8-year-old Airi Ohara, who ran away from the tsunami with her schoolmates.Residents said their town had hit rock bottom, but their duty was to give hope for future generations.I repeatedly thought of leaving this town, but I felt like it would all end if I run away. I will do as much as I can and see how things go, said Sugawara.(Editing by Linda Sieg and Daniel Magnowski)

USDA Lowered Crop Projections Will Mean Higher Food Prices ContributorNetwork Tammy Lee Morris – Fri Aug 12, 4:41 pm ET
COMMENTARY | The United States Department of Agriculture has adjusted projections for this year's grain crops, lowering forecasts due to weather losses. What could this mean for the average consumer?The average consumer will probably need to dig deeper into their pocketbooks when they shop for food items that contain corn, wheat and soybeans. Regular food items will be affected as well as animal foods that contain such grains.In February, the USDA projected that a lower corn surplus would be seen at the end of the year and would result in higher prices. Today, The Wall Street Journal reported that the agency has reduced the forecast levels of the three grains due to adverse weather conditions during the spring and summer planting and growing seasons.Spiking food prices at local stores will only add to stretched budgets and increase concerns about the current state of the economy in the U.S.As a single, working mom myself, the thought of increased prices does cause me concern. I already stretch every penny I make. I have pets so not only will I pay more for food to feed my family, I will also pay more to feed the dogs and cats that we love and enjoy.I understand that prices of crops are affected by weather and circumstances beyond the control of any governmental agency or farmer, but it is still disheartening to know that most of the things I need to buy for my family will be increasing in price.
As it stands now, my budget is already tight. I will of course make adjustments but ultimately, I will have no choice but to choose to do without items that no longer fit within my budget. While my family did plant a garden this year, that garden was also affected by the spring and summer rains and July heat. Currently, my family is freezing and storing as much of our corn crop as we are able to. Regardless, the higher prices at the stores will hit my pocketbook just like everyone else's. Hopefully, though, the prices will jump later rather than soon--allowing me and other consumers time to save up our pennies and take advantage of any bargain prices we might find right now.
Europe short-selling ban reveals divisions
Reuters By James Regan and Ian Simpson | Reuters – AUG 13,11
PARIS/MILAN (Reuters) - A piecemeal ban on short-selling of financial stocks in Europe sparked a rush of alternative proposals from countries and regulators Friday, while stronger bank shares pulled Europe's stocks higher.After a week of wild swings on European markets on rumors about the health and funding needs of indebted governments and some of their major banks, France, Italy, Spain and Belgium imposed short-selling bans, which varied according to country.Britain, the Netherlands and Austria said they saw no need for action, while Germany said it would instead push for a Europe-wide ban on so-called naked short-selling.The European Commission said a European framework would be more effective, and the chairman of the European Securities and Markets Authority urged policy makers to adopt a plan for bloc-wide rules on short selling as quickly as possible.Short-selling is the process through which an investor borrows shares and sells them on the expectation their price will fall and they can be bought back at a lower price.In a naked short sale, the investor has not borrowed the share, but still bets on a drop in the share price.
Market players said the ban did not tackle the root causes of investors' concerns -- joined-up, long-term fiscal policy in the euro zone - and pointed out that nervous mutual funds were currently behind the sell-off.If at the core of this whole rout is disappointment with certain irresponsible behaviors of policymakers -- note the game of chicken in the U.S. -- they really need to get their act together and prove they aren't all on holiday, said Lothar Mental, chief investment officer at Octopus Investments.A crackdown on speculative short-selling is unlikely to arrest moves from institutional investors who now have little stomach for big holdings in banks and indebted governments who might call on them again for emergency capital.The STOXX Europe 600 banking index rose 4.5 percent, helping the broader market up 3.7 percent.French banks, at the center of attention and included in the ban on short-selling, were up: Societe Generale rose 5.7 percent, BNP Paribas added 4.2 percent and Credit Agricole gained 2.1 percent.Alessandro Frigerio, fund manager at Milan's RMJ Sgr, said the ban could work if, combined with proposals from next Tuesday's meeting of French President Nicholas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, it were to give the idea that there could be a rescue for the euro zone.But global hedge fund association the Alternative Investment Management Association warned the short-selling bans could make markets less stable.Past experience has shown that bans on short selling do not prevent market falls and indeed can exacerbate volatility,association CEO Andrew Baker said in a statement.Short-selling ... contributes to efficient price discovery, increases market liquidity, facilitates hedging and other risk management activities and can possibly help mitigate market bubbles,he said.
U.S. TRADES SOMETIMES POSSIBLE
Investors can sometimes avoid the ban by trading some on other markets -- U.S. listed shares of European institutions that cannot be sold short there can still be shorted in the United States, a New York Stock Exchange spokesman said.That includes Spain's Banco Santander SA, whose ADRs are traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, or Pink Sheets, and can be sold short, a spokesman for OTCBB said.But the largest European banks in question, including Societe Generale, are not listed on major U.S. exchanges such as the NYSE and Nasdaq.It's only in those countries where the short-selling is no longer being allowed, where you might see increased relative short-selling of the ADR,said Bryant Evans, investment adviser and portfolio manager at Cozad Asset Management, in Champaign, Illinois.
ABUSIVE STRATEGY
A German banking source familiar with regulation issues said the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) had failed to play its role as coordinator among EU countries when it introduced the ban, arguing that short-selling combined with rumor-mongering to create a strategy that was clearly abusive.EMSA chairman Steven Maijoor said there were no concrete plans at this stage for other countries, but he could not rule out the possibility that that could change.What kind of coordination has the ESMA delivered? Not much, the German source said, describing Britain as the main obstacle to a coordinated move against short-sellers due to fears such a ban would hurt its financial sector.Britain temporarily banned short-selling of financial stocks in 2008, in line with a U.S. ban imposed four days after the collapse of Lehman Brothers ushered in a dangerous new phase of the financial crisis.Academic studies show U.S. share borrowing fell during the three-week ban, but financial stocks continued to plummet.In the latest action, France banned short-selling on 11 financial stocks for 15 days, Spain said it would protect 16 stocks for 15 days, Belgium banned short-selling of four financial stocks for an indefinite period and Italy said its ban covered 29 companies in the banking and insurance sector.
French Finance Minister Francois Baroin welcomed the ban and said it highlighted the government's commitment to ensuring financial stability, avoiding market abuses and fighting against all forms of speculation.French 10-year bond yields dipped below 3 percent on Friday for the first time since November, showing demand for French debt remained intact despite banking sector concerns.Reassuring data from the European Central Bank helped: the ECB said its overnight loan facility totaled 227 million euros, down from the 4 billion euros borrowed the previous night, easing fears that banks were facing liquidity issues.However, Danish Economics Minister Brian Mikkelsen said several small Danish banks are facing a liquidity squeeze and the government was working on measures to make it safe for foreign investors to lend to them.France and Italy also plan action against investors who combined rumor-mongering and short-selling to manipulate banking shares. The French Banking Federation said French banks were considering legal action, while Italy's Consob said it would fine those who disregarded the short-selling ban.Germany called for wide-reaching ban on naked short-selling.We are advocating a wide-reaching ban on naked short-selling of stocks, sovereign bonds, and credit default swaps, Finance Ministry spokesman Martin Kotthaus said.Only this way can destructive speculation be countered convincingly.(Writing by Sophie Walker and Janet Guttsman; Additional reporting by Ashley Lau, Sarah Young, Sinead Cruise, Laurence Fletcher, Stephen Jewkes, Valentina Za, Judy MacInnes, Feliciano Tisera, Brian Love, Claire Watson, Nicolas Vinocur, Julien Ponthus, Gernot Heller and Brian Rohan; Editing by Alexander Smith and Gunna Dickson)
China may be worst protectionist ever: U.S. analyst
Reuters By Doug Palmer | Reuters – AUG 12,11
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China's massive intervention in currency markets could qualify it as the most protectionist nation in history, a leading U.S. economist said on Friday.China has intervened massively in the foreign exchange markets for at least five years, buying at least $1 billion every day to keep the dollar strong and its own renminbi weak, Fred Bergsten, president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said in the text of a speech.This is by far the largest protectionist measure adopted by any country since the Second World War -- and probably in all of history, Bergsten said.Bergsten estimated the China's renminbi, also known as the yuan, is currently undervalued by at least 20 percent against the U.S. dollar as a result of China's currency intervention.That is the equivalent of a subsidy of 20 percent on all China's exports and an additional tariff of 20 percent on all China's imports, Bergsten said.Bergsten, who served in various White House and Treasury positions between 1969 and 1981, has long been a critic of China's exchange rate policies.His latest broadside comes amid signs Beijing could let the yuan rise more rapidly to contain inflation.Meanwhile, U.S. government data on Thursday showed the bilateral trade deficit with China grew nearly 12 percent in the first half of 2011 to $133.4 billion, which could stir Congress to act on currency concerns.Bergsten again urged the U.S. Treasury Department to formally label China a currency manipulator, something it has refused to do five times under President Barack Obama.
Treasury's next semi-annual report on the foreign exchange trading practices is due on Oct 15. Labeling China a currency manipulator would require the department to launch negotiations with Beijing to remedy the situation.Bergsten also suggested other U.S. policy responses, such as filing a case at the World Trade Organization against China for currency manipulation and then sharply limiting its access to the U.S. market if the case prevailed.Or we could initiate countervailing currency intervention,buying Chinese renminbi to offset the effect on our exchange rate of their massive purchases of dollars,Bergsten said.(Reporting by Doug Palmer; Editing by Andrea Ricci)
Israel army plants new mines along Syria border
AP - AUG 13,11
JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli army magazine says the military is planting new land mines along the border with Syria to dissuade protesters from rushing into the Golan Heights.The army decided to go ahead with the move after older mines failed to detonate when Syrian demonstrators rushed into the border area in June during a protest against Israel's occupation. Israeli forces opened fire, killing some 20 protesters in efforts to push the crowd back.The mines are also part of beefed-up measures Israel is taking ahead of rallies that Palestinians are planning to hold in September.The demonstrations are meant to boost the Palestinian drive for a U.N. recognition of their state. Israel fears such protests along its borders could turn violent.
Syrians call for Assad's death; 14 killed AP By BASSEM MROUE - Associated Press,ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY - Associated Press | AUG 12,11
BEIRUT (AP) — Tens of thousands of Syrian protesters shouted for President Bashar Assad's death Friday in a dramatic escalation of their rage and frustration, defying bullets and rooftop snipers after more than a week of intensified military assaults on rebellious cities, activists and witnesses said.Security forces killed at least 14 protesters, according to human rights groups.The calls for Assad's execution were a stark sign of how much the protest movement has changed since it erupted in March seeking minor reforms but making no calls for regime change. The protests grew dramatically over the five months that followed, driven in part by anger over the government's bloody crackdown in which rights groups say at least 1,700 civilians have been killed.But with the regime shrugging off even the most blistering condemnation, the uprising has become a test of endurance as both sides draw on a deep well of energy and conviction. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday urged countries to stop buying Syrian oil and gas or selling the regime weapons, saying those who still do so must get on the right side of history.In cities around Syria, protesters chanted, The people want to execute the president! during the now-familiar cycle of weekly demonstrations followed by a swift crackdown by the military, security forces and pro-government gunmen who operate on the regime's behalf.Security forces broke up protests quickly around the capital Damascus, in the central city of Homs and elsewhere, firing bullets and tear gas. Some areas saw only limited demonstrations because soldiers deployed heavily in restive areas.In a significant show of defiance, some of the largest protests Friday were on the outskirts of the central city of Hama and in the eastern city of Deir el-Zour, where government forces seized control in major military offensives during the past week. The fact that protesters still turned out was a signal that Assad's forces cannot terrify protesters into staying home.
However, within Hama, protesters struggled to turn out in great numbers after soldiers clamped down heavily in the streets, witnesses said. Snipers were stationed on rooftops, and troops surrounded mosques and set up checkpoints to head off any marches.There are security checkpoints every 200 meters (655 feet), they have lists and they're searching people ... the mosques are surrounded by soldiers, a Hama-based activist told The Associated Press by telephone, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.Dozens of soldiers deployed in Hama's Assi Square, which had been the main converging point for hundreds of thousands of protesters in previous weeks, the activist said.In the central city of Homs, more than a 1,000 soldiers, security agents and plainclothes policemen were deployed in the city's main square.At least 14 protesters were killed across the country: Five outside the capital, Damascus; one in Homs and two in Hama; Four in the major northern city Aleppo; one in Deir el-Zour; and one in eastern Idlib province, according to multiple activist groups. Military raids earlier in the day killed at least two people.Where are the prisoners, Bashar? Free the prisoners, Bashar! shouted protesters in the Mediterranean coastal city of Latakia, shown in amateur video posted by activists. Another video showed a crowd outside a mosque in the southern city of Daraa hit by clouds of tear gas after they chanted for the downfall of the regime.The Associated Press could not verify the videos. Syria has banned most foreign media and restricted local coverage, making it impossible to get independent confirmation of the events on the ground.The government has justified its crackdown by saying it was dealing with terrorist gangs and criminals who were fomenting unrest.
The military offensive reflects Assad's determination to crush the uprising against his rule despite mounting international condemnation, including U.S. and European sanctions.A flurry of foreign diplomats have rolled through Damascus urging Assad to end a campaign of killing that rights groups say has killed more than 1,700 civilians and several hundred members of the security forces since mid-March.We believe that President Assad's opportunity to lead the transition has passed, Jay Carney, spokesman for President Barak Obama, told reporters traveling on Air Force One on Thursday.But the U.S. and other nations have little power to threaten further isolation or economic punishment of Assad's pro-Iranian regime — unlike in Egypt, where Obama was able to help usher longtime ally Hosni Mubarak out of power.On Friday, the Dutch Foreign Ministry said the European Union may decide in the next week or two to broaden its sanctions against the Syrian regime and state-run businesses.Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal has been lobbying his colleagues to expand the EU travel ban on Syrian officials — which now covers 35 people, including Assad — and to target Syria's telecommunications, banking and energy sectors. Syria gets about 28 percent of its revenue from the oil trade.We need to cut off the oxygen from the regime through its profitable public enterprises, Rosenthal said on the ministry's Web site.But the bloody crackdown has continued, along with a nationwide campaign of arrests.Security forces on Thursday detained Abdul-Karim Rihawi, the Damascus-based head of the Syrian Human Rights League, activists said. A longtime rights activist, Rihawi had been tracking government violations and documenting deaths in Syria.He was picked up from a cafe in central Damascus along with a journalist who had been interviewing him, according to rights activist Ammar Qurabi.Italy and France on Friday condemned the arrest and called for his immediate release.By its brutal and symbolic character, the arrest of Abdul-Karim Rihawi constitutes a new unacceptable decision by the authorities of Damascus, a French Foreign Ministry statement said.The Syrian uprising was inspired by the revolts and calls for reform sweeping the Arab world, and activists and rights groups say most of those killed have been unarmed civilians. An aggressive new military offensive that began with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan at the start of August has killed several hundred people in just one week.AP writer Zeina Karam contributed to this report.

Israel deploys drones over offshore gas fields
AFP – Mon, Aug 8, 2011
Israel has deployed drones to keep watch on gas fields off its northern coast, fearing attack by the Hezbollah militia from neighbouring Lebanon, the Jerusalem Post daily reported on Tuesday.The fields lie in a part of the Mediterranean that is claimed by Israel for gas exploration and production, but Lebanon says the fields lie within its territorial waters.The decision to deploy drones was made in order to maintain a 24-hour presence over the site, the paper said, adding that the air force was equipped with the locally made Heron drone, which has special electro-optics designed for maritime work.The Israeli military would not confirm or deny the Post report to AFP.The paper said that the air force started aerial surveillance after a warning last month from Hezbollah, which in 2006 fought a deadly war with the Jewish state in which it used anti-ship missiles.The Israeli enemy cannot drill a single metre in these waters to search for gas and oil if the zone is disputed... No company can carry out prospecting work in waters whose sovereignty is contested, the Shiite group said.
The Hezbollah threat came after Israel's cabinet approved a map of the country's proposed maritime borders with Lebanon and submitted it to the United Nations, which has been asked to mediate in the dispute.The map conflicts with one submitted by Lebanon to the UN last year, which gives Israel less territory.The two countries are technically at war and will not negotiate face to face.The disputed zone consists of about 854 square kilometres (330 square miles).The two biggest known offshore fields, Tamar and Leviathan, lie respectively about 80 kilometres (50 miles) and 130 kilometres (81 miles) off Israel's northern city of Haifa.Tamar is believed to hold at least 8.4 trillion cubic feet of gas (238 billion cubic metres), while Leviathan is believed to have reserves of 16 trillion cubic feet (450 billion cubic metres).In June an Israeli company announced the discovery of two new natural gas fields, Sarah and Mira, around 70 kilometres (45 miles) off the city of Hadera further south.

Rape, mutilation: Pakistan's tribal justice for women
Reuters By Rebecca Conway | Reuters – AUG 12,11
MULTAN, Pakistan (Reuters) - On April 14, two men entered Asma Firdous' home, cut off six of her fingers, slashed her arms and lips and then sliced off her nose. Before leaving the house, the men locked their 28-year-old victim inside.Asma, from impoverished Kohaur Junobi village in Pakistan's south, was mutilated because her husband was involved in a dispute with his relatives, and they wanted revenge.Her fate is familiar in parts of Pakistan's remote and feudal agricultural belts, where women are often used as bargaining chips in family feuds, and where the level of violence they face is increasing in frequency and brutality.At the hospital in nearby Multan town, Asma's shocked parents sat quietly by her bedside and struggled to explain what the future holds for their now disfigured daughter.I don't know what will happen to her when she leaves here, Asma's father, Ghulam Mustafa, said, in a dilapidated ward heavy with the smell of antiseptic and blood, where other women, doused with acid or kerosene by relatives or fellow villagers, awaiting an equally uncertain future.Asked if Asma will return to her husband, her father remains silent.
Pakistan is the world's third-most dangerous country for women, after Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, based on a survey conducted by the Thomson Reuters Foundation (http://link.reuters.com/jet92s)In its 2010 report, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan says almost 800 women were victims of honor killings -- murders aimed at preserving the honor of male relatives -- and 2,900 women reported raped -- almost eight a day.The bulk, or almost 2,600, were raped in Punjab alone, Pakistan's most populous province.And the numbers are rising: media reports say crimes against women have risen 18 percent in the year to May and the human rights commission believes its figures represent only a fraction of the attacks which take place across the country.Dr. Farzana Bari, director of Gender Studies at Quaid-e-Azam University, says Pakistan's patriarchal society often condones discrimination against women, which is more prevalent among poor and uneducated rural families.That mindset can often influence the police and judiciary, which sometimes turn a blind eye to honor killings or rapes carried out to punish women.I think honor killings are a symptom of vigilante justice, she said.And vigilante justice occurs in an environment where the state is unable to enforce its writ.
TRIBAL JUSTICE
In rural areas, women are often shut out of the justice system, which is compromised by powerful landowners and feudal lords who dominate a hierarchy that makes it difficult -- and deadly -- for those with little education or social standing to speak out.Families or tribes then often take justice in their own hands, presiding over jirgas or panchayats -- gatherings of elders that hand down punishments that include rape, killing or barter of women for crimes that include falling in love with a man deemed inappropriate or besmirching family honor.Some women are maimed just to settle scores.Members of the panchayat systems say the tradition is hard to shake because it is entrenched in the local culture and also because it is much more efficient than the regular courts.In the settled areas there are courts but people can't always get justice or compensation, said lawyer and tribal elder Karim Masoud, who presides over both panchayat settlements and the mainstream court system.With the jirgas, they can get compensation, and it takes less time to settle a dispute. It's fairer and people don't have to use bribes to get justice.Zarmuhamad Afridi, who also attends jirga rulings in Pakistan's northern tribal belt and works within the mainstream court system, said the jirga system survives because in many parts of Pakistan, a man's honor is intrinsically linked to how his wife or daughter behave.
If a couple is not married and they are having a relationship, a jirga may rule that the woman should be shot, Afridi said.That is okay for many, because they have to protect family honor.The slightest transgression by a woman -- being seen talking to a man on the street, perhaps, or having an unknown phone number in a mobile -- can bring harsh punishment and social ostracism of the family, he says, making the quick, harsh judgment of the panchayats popular.Women are cherished here, he said. Men protect them. If a woman is out of her house then what is she doing? That is what people think here.Many women are unable to speak out because they lack the support and education to understand their rights, activists say.But even those who dare often get nowhere.The most high profile instance of a violent ruling by a tribal court against a woman is that of the gang rape of Mukhtaran Mai, which took place near Multan in 2002.Mai was allegedly attacked to settle a matter of village honor, as decided by a panchayat. She was then paraded naked through her village.
Unlike most rape victims, who face stark recriminations for speaking out, and who are sometimes even expected to commit suicide, she filed a criminal case against 14 men.Six men were convicted and sentenced to death that year, but in 2005 the Lahore High Court commuted one sentence to life in prison and acquitted the rest.Pakistan's Supreme Court upheld that decision in April this year, in what rights activists said was a crushing blow to women's and minority rights in Pakistan.The men were released days later. Mai said she is afraid they will return and kill her.Ali Dayan Hasan, senior researcher at Human Rights Watch's South Asia division, said the lack of justice for women in cases like such as Mai's is a structural failing of the criminal justice system.The verdict also lays bare the misogyny of Pakistan's judicial system because it is a judiciary that is instinctively unsympathetic to women.(Editing by Chris Allbritton and Miral Fahmy)
Clinton Calls on Countries to Stop Doing Business with Syria-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton calls on countries to stop buying Syrian oil and gas. by Elad Benari, Canada Published: 13/08/11, 12:28 AM
The United States on Friday called on countries to stop buying Syrian oil and gas in an attempt to build pressure on Syrian President Bashar Assad to end a brutal crackdown against protesters.Reuters reported that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hinted the government might be making some headway in persuading countries in Europe, as well as China and India, to curtail their energy ties with Syria.
Speaking at a news conference with Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere, Clinton stopped short of explicitly calling for Assad’s departure, saying, We urge those countries still buying Syrian oil and gas, those countries still sending Assad weapons, those countries whose political and economic support give him comfort in his brutality, to get on the right side of history.She added,President Assad has lost the legitimacy to lead and it is clear that Syria would be better off without him.Speaking on condition of anonymity, U.S. officials told Reuters it was the first time Washington had explicitly called for a boycott of Syrian oil since anti-Assad protests erupted in March.Syria’s crude oil production numbers 380,000 barrels a day and generates most of the country’s hard currency. Reuters reported Syrian crude exports go mostly to European nations such as Germany, Italy and France.
Clinton’s comments come after on Thursday she said the United States wants other nations to add their voices to the call for Assad to step down.Meanwhile, the violence in Syria continued on Friday, as Syrian forces shot dead 13 protesters following the prayers for the second Friday of the Ramadan.Tens of thousands of protesters hit the streets of Hama and Deir al-Zor, demanding the overthrow of Assad.
Activists said six people were killed in the Damascus suburbs of Saqba and Douma, two in the commercial hub of Aleppo, and two in the northern province of Idlib on the Turkish border.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

China sends anti-terrorism unit to restive west
AP By SCOTT McDONALD - Associated Press | AP – AUG 13,11
BEIJING (AP) — China has sent its elite Snow Leopard anti-terrorism unit to its far western frontier where ethnic violence has flared, hoping to boost security before the area stages an international trade convention in weeks, a state newspaper reported Sunday.At least 20 people died in two attacks last month in the southern Xinjiang region, where security had already been tight since 2009 fighting between majority Han Chinese and minority ethnic Uighurs (pronounced WEE'-gur), who are Muslim and share other cultural links with groups in Central Asia.The government has blamed Muslim extremists for the July attacks and violent protests in Kashgar, where 80 percent of the 600,000 population are Uighurs, and in another southern Xinjiang city, Hotan.Recently it sent its elite Snow Leopard Commando unit to patrol the region from a base in Aksu city, roughly halfway between Kashgar and the regional capital of Urumqi, the China Daily said, quoting a spokesman for the Xinjiang People's Armed Police.Calls to the Xinjiang government and police were not answered Saturday.The Snow Leopards, formed in 2002, were charged with securing the 2008 Beijing Olympics and have a mandate to combat terrorism, control riots, dispose of bombs, respond to hijackings and carry out other special tasks, the newspaper said.
Xinjiang is China's Central Asian frontier — bordering Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia and other countries — with Kashgar serving as an important hub along the ancient Silk Road trade route to Europe.The Snow Leopard unit will be increasing security for the China-Eurasia Expo, being held in Urumqi the first week in September.China has blamed the region's unrest on forces outside the country, and said last month's attacks were carried out by militants trained in camps run by the East Turkistan Islamic Movement in Pakistan on Xinjiang's southern border. It has given no evidence for the allegation.Many Uighurs in the area resent the Han Chinese majority as interlopers relegating them to minority status in their homeland.China defends its treatment of minorities, saying all ethnic groups are treated equally and that tens of billions of dollars in investment and aid have dramatically raised their living standards.

Smart skin: Electronics that stick and stretch like a temporary tattoo
skin tatoo-An ultrathin, electronic patch with the mechanics of skin, applied to the wrist for EMG and other measurements.8/11/2011 | Liz Ahlberg, Physical Sciences Editor | 217-244-1073; eahlberg@illinois.edu
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Engineers have developed a device platform that combines electronic components for sensing, medical diagnostics, communications and human-machine interfaces, all on an ultrathin skin-like patch that mounts directly onto the skin with the ease, flexibility and comfort of a temporary tattoo.
skin scrunched-Led by John A. Rogers, the Lee J. Flory-Founder professor of engineering at the University of Illinois, the researchers described their novel skin-mounted electronics in the Aug. 12 issue of the journal Science.The circuit bends, wrinkles and stretches with the mechanical properties of skin. The researchers demonstrated their concept through a diverse array of electronic components mounted on a thin, rubbery substrate, including sensors, LEDs, transistors, radio frequency capacitors, wireless antennas, and conductive coils and solar cells for power.We threw everything in our bag of tricks onto that platform, and then added a few other new ideas on top of those, to show that we could make it work,” said Rogers, a professor of materials science and engineering, of chemistry, of mechanical science and engineering, of bioengineering and of electrical and computer engineering. He also is affiliated with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, and with the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory at U. of I.
The patches are initially mounted on a thin sheet of water-soluble plastic, then laminated to the skin with water – just like applying a temporary tattoo. Alternately, the electronic components can be applied directly to a temporary tattoo itself, providing concealment for the electronics.We think this could be an important conceptual advance in wearable electronics, to achieve something that is almost unnoticeable to the wearer, said U. of I. electrical and computer engineering professor Todd Coleman, who co-led the multi-disciplinary team. “The technology can connect you to the physical world and the cyberworld in a very natural way that feels very comfortable.Skin-mounted electronics have many biomedical applications, including EEG and EMG sensors to monitor nerve and muscle activity. One major advantage of skin-like circuits is that they don’t require conductive gel, tape, skin-penetrating pins or bulky wires, which can be uncomfortable for the user and limit coupling efficiency. They are much more comfortable and less cumbersome than traditional electrodes and give the wearers complete freedom of movement.If we want to understand brain function in a natural environment, that’s completely incompatible with EEG studies in a laboratory, said Coleman, now a professor at the University of California at San Diego.The best way to do this is to record neural signals in natural settings, with devices that are invisible to the user.Monitoring in a natural environment during normal activity is especially beneficial for continuous monitoring of health and wellness, cognitive state or behavioral patterns during sleep.In addition to gathering data, skin-mounted electronics could provide the wearers with added capabilities. For example, patients with muscular or neurological disorders, such as ALS, could use them to communicate or to interface with computers. The researchers found that, when applied to the skin of the throat, the sensors could distinguish muscle movement for simple speech. The researchers have even used the electronic patches to control a video game, demonstrating the potential for human-computer interfacing.
Rogers’ group is well known for its innovative stretchable, flexible devices, but creating devices that could comfortably contort with the skin required a new fabrication paradigm.Our previous stretchable electronic devices are not well-matched to the mechanophysiology of the skin, Rogers said.In particular, the skin is extremely soft, by comparison, and its surface can be rough, with significant microscopic texture. These features demanded different kinds of approaches and design principles.Rogers collaborated with Northwestern University engineering professor Yonggang Huang and his group to tackle the difficult mechanics and materials questions. The team developed a device geometry they call filamentary serpentine, in which the circuits for the various devices are fabricated as tiny, squiggled wires. When mounted on thin, soft rubber sheets, the wavy, snakelike shape allows them to bend, twist, scrunch and stretch while maintaining functionality.The blurring of electronics and biology is really the key point here,Huang said.All established forms of electronics are hard, rigid. Biology is soft, elastic. It’s two different worlds. This is a way to truly integrate them.The researchers used simple adaptations of techniques used in the semiconductor industry, so the patches are easily scalable and manufacturable. The device company mc10, which Rogers co-founded, already is working to commercialize certain versions of the technology.
Next, the researchers are working to integrate the various devices mounted on the platform so that they work together as a system, rather than individually functioning devices, and to add Wi-Fi capability.The vision is to exploit these concepts in systems that have self-contained, integrated functionality, perhaps ultimately working in a therapeutic fashion with closed feedback control based on integrated sensors, in a coordinated manner with the body itself,Rogers said.The National Science Foundation and the Air Force Research Laboratory supported this work.

INFOWARS SPECIAL REPORT: Globalists’ Extermination List Exposed Aaron Dykes Infowars.com August 12, 2011
In a Special Infowars Report, researcher Aaron Dykes exposes the global population database apparatus used by eugenicists to target populations for reduced births, soft kill and extermination. From the IBM-developed Hollerith punchcards used in the 1890 U.S. census, to race-mixing studies for Cold Springs Harbor and concentration camps in Rockefeller-funded Nazi Germany, eugenicists have long tabulated vital statistics in order to attack subtly and with precision.Now they are targeting our food supplies, water, air and environment in attempt to shut off our future. How will elites utilize the human genome code, blood samples and DNA they’ve spent decades compiling? Why do foundations of the rich spend so much on the 3rd World population reduction? Aaron Dykes reports on the New World Order’s obsession with eugenics and population control.

MIAMI – A tropical depression has formed in the Atlantic but it is moving away from Bermuda and the United States.The National Hurricane Center said Friday afternoon that the storm was about 260 miles north of Bermuda. It had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph and was moving east-northeast at 16 mph. Some strengthening was expected and the storm could turn into a tropical storm Friday night or Saturday.No coastal watches or warnings have been issued.
Flood damage to key Iowa highway a setback, engineers say Reuters By David Hendee – Fri Aug 12, 8:30 pm ET
OMAHA, Neb (Reuters) – This year's flooding along the Missouri River has eroded bridges and roadbed on Interstate Highway 29 in southwest Iowa, a key point in the route between Kansas City, Missouri, and Fargo, North Dakota.Inspections on two I-29 bridges near Hamburg, Iowa, found damage caused by scouring floodwater including an 11-foot hole under the pavement, said Bob Younie, maintenance chief for the Iowa Transportation Department.The discovery was a setback to hopes that I-29 would reopen quickly after water recedes next month following flooding on the Missouri River that has soaked property from Montana through Missouri this year.Interstate 29 and southwest Iowa have been inundated since June by flooding created by record releases from Army Corps of Engineers dams on the Missouri River in the northern plains.The river was not expected to return to its banks until late September. It was more than five feet above flood stage on Friday at Omaha and more than four feet above flood stage at Hamburg, Iowa.Flood-caused scouring has also damaged I-680 near near Omaha's Mormon Bridge. At least seven highways in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa remain closed by flooding.Younie said he hoped all flooded roads in western Iowa would be open by winter, but officials were still unable to completely assess damage.(Editing by James B.

Candles flicker, mourners drum for dead in Japan tsunami town Reuters By Yoko Kubota – Fri Aug 12, 9:29 am ET
KESENNUMA, Japan (Reuters) – Children in a tsunami-devastated town in northeast Japan lit 10,000 candles and banged taiko drums Friday on the eve of "obon," a Buddhist ceremony to honor the dead, as residents struggle to rebuild lives five months after the disaster.Kesennuma, a scenic fishing town some 400 km (248 miles) northeast of Tokyo, was engulfed by fire after it was struck by a magnitude 9.0 quake and a huge tsunami on March 11. The disaster left more than 20,400 dead or missing in Japan, and triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis in 25 years at Fukushima.In Kesennuma, about 1,000 out of 73,500 residents died and more than 400 are missing, presumed dead. While police still search, some survivors who lost their loved ones or have waited for their return are now trying to move on.Sadness is sadness. But it is an emotion that people should not hang on to forever, said Kanji Hatakeyama, a city official who also lost his home to the tsunami, as he watched kids play traditional songs on Japanese drums at a summer festival.Over the last month, the pages of a local newspaper were filled with death notices, and many funerals for the missing were held as residents sought emotional closure before obon in mid-August, when families welcome back the spirits of the dead.Obon is celebrated every year, but residents say this year's event is different as Kesennuma copes with losses, and works to rebuild.The town has worked to clear the heaps of mud and rubble that covered much of its coastal areas, once famous for bonito and tuna fishing. Much has been removed, though piles of burned cars and debris still remain, now home to crows and flies.Takehiko Sugawara, a 42-year-old temporary city official who lost his job at a fishery destroyed by the tsunami and was helping to decontaminate ground among the debris, said he was too busy to get emotional.It is obon time, but we don't have things ready. We have so much to do and I don't have a moment to feel sad, said Sugawara, adding he feels he has not been able to honor properly his parents, who were washed away by the tsunami.
MOVING FORWARD
I am sorry for my parents, but I have a child and I need to move forward. I want to tell them to please wait a little bit more ... I am doing the best in the way that I can,added Sugawara, unable to hold back tears as he spoke of his mother.Nearly 13,000 houses were damaged and about 1,500 evacuees are still in shelters waiting for temporary housing. The city plans to deliver its reconstruction plan by end-September, though some residents complained that it has been too slow.I have been waiting for five months and my stress and blood pressure levels rose, said 71-year-old widower Kuniko Ito, who was talking with her friends at an evacuation shelter in the gym of a hilltop elementary school.(Moving to temporary housing) would help me reach a kind of a closure, but I will also feel lonely once I'm living alone,Ito said, adding she hopes her ancestors will understand that she will have to pray from the shelter this obon season.As evacuees chatted inside, a festival to encourage rebuilding and to commemorate the dead went on in the playground.At dusk, volunteers lit 10,000 candles, etching in flames the Japanese word for prayer and a the outline of a ship carrying a four-leaf clover.They are lined up in a really beautiful way. I feel very happy,said 8-year-old Airi Ohara, who ran away from the tsunami with her schoolmates.Residents said their town had hit rock bottom, but their duty was to give hope for future generations.I repeatedly thought of leaving this town, but I felt like it would all end if I run away. I will do as much as I can and see how things go, said Sugawara.(Editing by Linda Sieg and Daniel Magnowski)

USDA Lowered Crop Projections Will Mean Higher Food Prices ContributorNetwork Tammy Lee Morris – Fri Aug 12, 4:41 pm ET
COMMENTARY | The United States Department of Agriculture has adjusted projections for this year's grain crops, lowering forecasts due to weather losses. What could this mean for the average consumer?The average consumer will probably need to dig deeper into their pocketbooks when they shop for food items that contain corn, wheat and soybeans. Regular food items will be affected as well as animal foods that contain such grains.In February, the USDA projected that a lower corn surplus would be seen at the end of the year and would result in higher prices. Today, The Wall Street Journal reported that the agency has reduced the forecast levels of the three grains due to adverse weather conditions during the spring and summer planting and growing seasons.Spiking food prices at local stores will only add to stretched budgets and increase concerns about the current state of the economy in the U.S.As a single, working mom myself, the thought of increased prices does cause me concern. I already stretch every penny I make. I have pets so not only will I pay more for food to feed my family, I will also pay more to feed the dogs and cats that we love and enjoy.I understand that prices of crops are affected by weather and circumstances beyond the control of any governmental agency or farmer, but it is still disheartening to know that most of the things I need to buy for my family will be increasing in price.
As it stands now, my budget is already tight. I will of course make adjustments but ultimately, I will have no choice but to choose to do without items that no longer fit within my budget. While my family did plant a garden this year, that garden was also affected by the spring and summer rains and July heat. Currently, my family is freezing and storing as much of our corn crop as we are able to. Regardless, the higher prices at the stores will hit my pocketbook just like everyone else's. Hopefully, though, the prices will jump later rather than soon--allowing me and other consumers time to save up our pennies and take advantage of any bargain prices we might find right now.
Europe short-selling ban reveals divisions
Reuters By James Regan and Ian Simpson | Reuters – AUG 13,11
PARIS/MILAN (Reuters) - A piecemeal ban on short-selling of financial stocks in Europe sparked a rush of alternative proposals from countries and regulators Friday, while stronger bank shares pulled Europe's stocks higher.After a week of wild swings on European markets on rumors about the health and funding needs of indebted governments and some of their major banks, France, Italy, Spain and Belgium imposed short-selling bans, which varied according to country.Britain, the Netherlands and Austria said they saw no need for action, while Germany said it would instead push for a Europe-wide ban on so-called naked short-selling.The European Commission said a European framework would be more effective, and the chairman of the European Securities and Markets Authority urged policy makers to adopt a plan for bloc-wide rules on short selling as quickly as possible.Short-selling is the process through which an investor borrows shares and sells them on the expectation their price will fall and they can be bought back at a lower price.In a naked short sale, the investor has not borrowed the share, but still bets on a drop in the share price.
Market players said the ban did not tackle the root causes of investors' concerns -- joined-up, long-term fiscal policy in the euro zone - and pointed out that nervous mutual funds were currently behind the sell-off.If at the core of this whole rout is disappointment with certain irresponsible behaviors of policymakers -- note the game of chicken in the U.S. -- they really need to get their act together and prove they aren't all on holiday, said Lothar Mental, chief investment officer at Octopus Investments.A crackdown on speculative short-selling is unlikely to arrest moves from institutional investors who now have little stomach for big holdings in banks and indebted governments who might call on them again for emergency capital.The STOXX Europe 600 banking index rose 4.5 percent, helping the broader market up 3.7 percent.French banks, at the center of attention and included in the ban on short-selling, were up: Societe Generale rose 5.7 percent, BNP Paribas added 4.2 percent and Credit Agricole gained 2.1 percent.Alessandro Frigerio, fund manager at Milan's RMJ Sgr, said the ban could work if, combined with proposals from next Tuesday's meeting of French President Nicholas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, it were to give the idea that there could be a rescue for the euro zone.But global hedge fund association the Alternative Investment Management Association warned the short-selling bans could make markets less stable.Past experience has shown that bans on short selling do not prevent market falls and indeed can exacerbate volatility,association CEO Andrew Baker said in a statement.Short-selling ... contributes to efficient price discovery, increases market liquidity, facilitates hedging and other risk management activities and can possibly help mitigate market bubbles,he said.
U.S. TRADES SOMETIMES POSSIBLE
Investors can sometimes avoid the ban by trading some on other markets -- U.S. listed shares of European institutions that cannot be sold short there can still be shorted in the United States, a New York Stock Exchange spokesman said.That includes Spain's Banco Santander SA, whose ADRs are traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, or Pink Sheets, and can be sold short, a spokesman for OTCBB said.But the largest European banks in question, including Societe Generale, are not listed on major U.S. exchanges such as the NYSE and Nasdaq.It's only in those countries where the short-selling is no longer being allowed, where you might see increased relative short-selling of the ADR,said Bryant Evans, investment adviser and portfolio manager at Cozad Asset Management, in Champaign, Illinois.
ABUSIVE STRATEGY
A German banking source familiar with regulation issues said the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) had failed to play its role as coordinator among EU countries when it introduced the ban, arguing that short-selling combined with rumor-mongering to create a strategy that was clearly abusive.EMSA chairman Steven Maijoor said there were no concrete plans at this stage for other countries, but he could not rule out the possibility that that could change.What kind of coordination has the ESMA delivered? Not much, the German source said, describing Britain as the main obstacle to a coordinated move against short-sellers due to fears such a ban would hurt its financial sector.Britain temporarily banned short-selling of financial stocks in 2008, in line with a U.S. ban imposed four days after the collapse of Lehman Brothers ushered in a dangerous new phase of the financial crisis.Academic studies show U.S. share borrowing fell during the three-week ban, but financial stocks continued to plummet.In the latest action, France banned short-selling on 11 financial stocks for 15 days, Spain said it would protect 16 stocks for 15 days, Belgium banned short-selling of four financial stocks for an indefinite period and Italy said its ban covered 29 companies in the banking and insurance sector.
French Finance Minister Francois Baroin welcomed the ban and said it highlighted the government's commitment to ensuring financial stability, avoiding market abuses and fighting against all forms of speculation.French 10-year bond yields dipped below 3 percent on Friday for the first time since November, showing demand for French debt remained intact despite banking sector concerns.Reassuring data from the European Central Bank helped: the ECB said its overnight loan facility totaled 227 million euros, down from the 4 billion euros borrowed the previous night, easing fears that banks were facing liquidity issues.However, Danish Economics Minister Brian Mikkelsen said several small Danish banks are facing a liquidity squeeze and the government was working on measures to make it safe for foreign investors to lend to them.France and Italy also plan action against investors who combined rumor-mongering and short-selling to manipulate banking shares. The French Banking Federation said French banks were considering legal action, while Italy's Consob said it would fine those who disregarded the short-selling ban.Germany called for wide-reaching ban on naked short-selling.We are advocating a wide-reaching ban on naked short-selling of stocks, sovereign bonds, and credit default swaps, Finance Ministry spokesman Martin Kotthaus said.Only this way can destructive speculation be countered convincingly.(Writing by Sophie Walker and Janet Guttsman; Additional reporting by Ashley Lau, Sarah Young, Sinead Cruise, Laurence Fletcher, Stephen Jewkes, Valentina Za, Judy MacInnes, Feliciano Tisera, Brian Love, Claire Watson, Nicolas Vinocur, Julien Ponthus, Gernot Heller and Brian Rohan; Editing by Alexander Smith and Gunna Dickson)
China may be worst protectionist ever: U.S. analyst
Reuters By Doug Palmer | Reuters – AUG 12,11
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China's massive intervention in currency markets could qualify it as the most protectionist nation in history, a leading U.S. economist said on Friday.China has intervened massively in the foreign exchange markets for at least five years, buying at least $1 billion every day to keep the dollar strong and its own renminbi weak, Fred Bergsten, president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said in the text of a speech.This is by far the largest protectionist measure adopted by any country since the Second World War -- and probably in all of history, Bergsten said.Bergsten estimated the China's renminbi, also known as the yuan, is currently undervalued by at least 20 percent against the U.S. dollar as a result of China's currency intervention.That is the equivalent of a subsidy of 20 percent on all China's exports and an additional tariff of 20 percent on all China's imports, Bergsten said.Bergsten, who served in various White House and Treasury positions between 1969 and 1981, has long been a critic of China's exchange rate policies.His latest broadside comes amid signs Beijing could let the yuan rise more rapidly to contain inflation.Meanwhile, U.S. government data on Thursday showed the bilateral trade deficit with China grew nearly 12 percent in the first half of 2011 to $133.4 billion, which could stir Congress to act on currency concerns.Bergsten again urged the U.S. Treasury Department to formally label China a currency manipulator, something it has refused to do five times under President Barack Obama.
Treasury's next semi-annual report on the foreign exchange trading practices is due on Oct 15. Labeling China a currency manipulator would require the department to launch negotiations with Beijing to remedy the situation.Bergsten also suggested other U.S. policy responses, such as filing a case at the World Trade Organization against China for currency manipulation and then sharply limiting its access to the U.S. market if the case prevailed.Or we could initiate countervailing currency intervention,buying Chinese renminbi to offset the effect on our exchange rate of their massive purchases of dollars,Bergsten said.(Reporting by Doug Palmer; Editing by Andrea Ricci)
Israel army plants new mines along Syria border
AP - AUG 13,11
JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli army magazine says the military is planting new land mines along the border with Syria to dissuade protesters from rushing into the Golan Heights.The army decided to go ahead with the move after older mines failed to detonate when Syrian demonstrators rushed into the border area in June during a protest against Israel's occupation. Israeli forces opened fire, killing some 20 protesters in efforts to push the crowd back.The mines are also part of beefed-up measures Israel is taking ahead of rallies that Palestinians are planning to hold in September.The demonstrations are meant to boost the Palestinian drive for a U.N. recognition of their state. Israel fears such protests along its borders could turn violent.
Syrians call for Assad's death; 14 killed AP By BASSEM MROUE - Associated Press,ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY - Associated Press | AUG 12,11
BEIRUT (AP) — Tens of thousands of Syrian protesters shouted for President Bashar Assad's death Friday in a dramatic escalation of their rage and frustration, defying bullets and rooftop snipers after more than a week of intensified military assaults on rebellious cities, activists and witnesses said.Security forces killed at least 14 protesters, according to human rights groups.The calls for Assad's execution were a stark sign of how much the protest movement has changed since it erupted in March seeking minor reforms but making no calls for regime change. The protests grew dramatically over the five months that followed, driven in part by anger over the government's bloody crackdown in which rights groups say at least 1,700 civilians have been killed.But with the regime shrugging off even the most blistering condemnation, the uprising has become a test of endurance as both sides draw on a deep well of energy and conviction. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday urged countries to stop buying Syrian oil and gas or selling the regime weapons, saying those who still do so must get on the right side of history.In cities around Syria, protesters chanted, The people want to execute the president! during the now-familiar cycle of weekly demonstrations followed by a swift crackdown by the military, security forces and pro-government gunmen who operate on the regime's behalf.Security forces broke up protests quickly around the capital Damascus, in the central city of Homs and elsewhere, firing bullets and tear gas. Some areas saw only limited demonstrations because soldiers deployed heavily in restive areas.In a significant show of defiance, some of the largest protests Friday were on the outskirts of the central city of Hama and in the eastern city of Deir el-Zour, where government forces seized control in major military offensives during the past week. The fact that protesters still turned out was a signal that Assad's forces cannot terrify protesters into staying home.
However, within Hama, protesters struggled to turn out in great numbers after soldiers clamped down heavily in the streets, witnesses said. Snipers were stationed on rooftops, and troops surrounded mosques and set up checkpoints to head off any marches.There are security checkpoints every 200 meters (655 feet), they have lists and they're searching people ... the mosques are surrounded by soldiers, a Hama-based activist told The Associated Press by telephone, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.Dozens of soldiers deployed in Hama's Assi Square, which had been the main converging point for hundreds of thousands of protesters in previous weeks, the activist said.In the central city of Homs, more than a 1,000 soldiers, security agents and plainclothes policemen were deployed in the city's main square.At least 14 protesters were killed across the country: Five outside the capital, Damascus; one in Homs and two in Hama; Four in the major northern city Aleppo; one in Deir el-Zour; and one in eastern Idlib province, according to multiple activist groups. Military raids earlier in the day killed at least two people.Where are the prisoners, Bashar? Free the prisoners, Bashar! shouted protesters in the Mediterranean coastal city of Latakia, shown in amateur video posted by activists. Another video showed a crowd outside a mosque in the southern city of Daraa hit by clouds of tear gas after they chanted for the downfall of the regime.The Associated Press could not verify the videos. Syria has banned most foreign media and restricted local coverage, making it impossible to get independent confirmation of the events on the ground.The government has justified its crackdown by saying it was dealing with terrorist gangs and criminals who were fomenting unrest.
The military offensive reflects Assad's determination to crush the uprising against his rule despite mounting international condemnation, including U.S. and European sanctions.A flurry of foreign diplomats have rolled through Damascus urging Assad to end a campaign of killing that rights groups say has killed more than 1,700 civilians and several hundred members of the security forces since mid-March.We believe that President Assad's opportunity to lead the transition has passed, Jay Carney, spokesman for President Barak Obama, told reporters traveling on Air Force One on Thursday.But the U.S. and other nations have little power to threaten further isolation or economic punishment of Assad's pro-Iranian regime — unlike in Egypt, where Obama was able to help usher longtime ally Hosni Mubarak out of power.On Friday, the Dutch Foreign Ministry said the European Union may decide in the next week or two to broaden its sanctions against the Syrian regime and state-run businesses.Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal has been lobbying his colleagues to expand the EU travel ban on Syrian officials — which now covers 35 people, including Assad — and to target Syria's telecommunications, banking and energy sectors. Syria gets about 28 percent of its revenue from the oil trade.We need to cut off the oxygen from the regime through its profitable public enterprises, Rosenthal said on the ministry's Web site.But the bloody crackdown has continued, along with a nationwide campaign of arrests.Security forces on Thursday detained Abdul-Karim Rihawi, the Damascus-based head of the Syrian Human Rights League, activists said. A longtime rights activist, Rihawi had been tracking government violations and documenting deaths in Syria.He was picked up from a cafe in central Damascus along with a journalist who had been interviewing him, according to rights activist Ammar Qurabi.Italy and France on Friday condemned the arrest and called for his immediate release.By its brutal and symbolic character, the arrest of Abdul-Karim Rihawi constitutes a new unacceptable decision by the authorities of Damascus, a French Foreign Ministry statement said.The Syrian uprising was inspired by the revolts and calls for reform sweeping the Arab world, and activists and rights groups say most of those killed have been unarmed civilians. An aggressive new military offensive that began with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan at the start of August has killed several hundred people in just one week.AP writer Zeina Karam contributed to this report.

Israel deploys drones over offshore gas fields
AFP – Mon, Aug 8, 2011
Israel has deployed drones to keep watch on gas fields off its northern coast, fearing attack by the Hezbollah militia from neighbouring Lebanon, the Jerusalem Post daily reported on Tuesday.The fields lie in a part of the Mediterranean that is claimed by Israel for gas exploration and production, but Lebanon says the fields lie within its territorial waters.The decision to deploy drones was made in order to maintain a 24-hour presence over the site, the paper said, adding that the air force was equipped with the locally made Heron drone, which has special electro-optics designed for maritime work.The Israeli military would not confirm or deny the Post report to AFP.The paper said that the air force started aerial surveillance after a warning last month from Hezbollah, which in 2006 fought a deadly war with the Jewish state in which it used anti-ship missiles.The Israeli enemy cannot drill a single metre in these waters to search for gas and oil if the zone is disputed... No company can carry out prospecting work in waters whose sovereignty is contested, the Shiite group said.
The Hezbollah threat came after Israel's cabinet approved a map of the country's proposed maritime borders with Lebanon and submitted it to the United Nations, which has been asked to mediate in the dispute.The map conflicts with one submitted by Lebanon to the UN last year, which gives Israel less territory.The two countries are technically at war and will not negotiate face to face.The disputed zone consists of about 854 square kilometres (330 square miles).The two biggest known offshore fields, Tamar and Leviathan, lie respectively about 80 kilometres (50 miles) and 130 kilometres (81 miles) off Israel's northern city of Haifa.Tamar is believed to hold at least 8.4 trillion cubic feet of gas (238 billion cubic metres), while Leviathan is believed to have reserves of 16 trillion cubic feet (450 billion cubic metres).In June an Israeli company announced the discovery of two new natural gas fields, Sarah and Mira, around 70 kilometres (45 miles) off the city of Hadera further south.

Rape, mutilation: Pakistan's tribal justice for women
Reuters By Rebecca Conway | Reuters – AUG 12,11
MULTAN, Pakistan (Reuters) - On April 14, two men entered Asma Firdous' home, cut off six of her fingers, slashed her arms and lips and then sliced off her nose. Before leaving the house, the men locked their 28-year-old victim inside.Asma, from impoverished Kohaur Junobi village in Pakistan's south, was mutilated because her husband was involved in a dispute with his relatives, and they wanted revenge.Her fate is familiar in parts of Pakistan's remote and feudal agricultural belts, where women are often used as bargaining chips in family feuds, and where the level of violence they face is increasing in frequency and brutality.At the hospital in nearby Multan town, Asma's shocked parents sat quietly by her bedside and struggled to explain what the future holds for their now disfigured daughter.I don't know what will happen to her when she leaves here, Asma's father, Ghulam Mustafa, said, in a dilapidated ward heavy with the smell of antiseptic and blood, where other women, doused with acid or kerosene by relatives or fellow villagers, awaiting an equally uncertain future.Asked if Asma will return to her husband, her father remains silent.
Pakistan is the world's third-most dangerous country for women, after Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, based on a survey conducted by the Thomson Reuters Foundation (http://link.reuters.com/jet92s)In its 2010 report, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan says almost 800 women were victims of honor killings -- murders aimed at preserving the honor of male relatives -- and 2,900 women reported raped -- almost eight a day.The bulk, or almost 2,600, were raped in Punjab alone, Pakistan's most populous province.And the numbers are rising: media reports say crimes against women have risen 18 percent in the year to May and the human rights commission believes its figures represent only a fraction of the attacks which take place across the country.Dr. Farzana Bari, director of Gender Studies at Quaid-e-Azam University, says Pakistan's patriarchal society often condones discrimination against women, which is more prevalent among poor and uneducated rural families.That mindset can often influence the police and judiciary, which sometimes turn a blind eye to honor killings or rapes carried out to punish women.I think honor killings are a symptom of vigilante justice, she said.And vigilante justice occurs in an environment where the state is unable to enforce its writ.
TRIBAL JUSTICE
In rural areas, women are often shut out of the justice system, which is compromised by powerful landowners and feudal lords who dominate a hierarchy that makes it difficult -- and deadly -- for those with little education or social standing to speak out.Families or tribes then often take justice in their own hands, presiding over jirgas or panchayats -- gatherings of elders that hand down punishments that include rape, killing or barter of women for crimes that include falling in love with a man deemed inappropriate or besmirching family honor.Some women are maimed just to settle scores.Members of the panchayat systems say the tradition is hard to shake because it is entrenched in the local culture and also because it is much more efficient than the regular courts.In the settled areas there are courts but people can't always get justice or compensation, said lawyer and tribal elder Karim Masoud, who presides over both panchayat settlements and the mainstream court system.With the jirgas, they can get compensation, and it takes less time to settle a dispute. It's fairer and people don't have to use bribes to get justice.Zarmuhamad Afridi, who also attends jirga rulings in Pakistan's northern tribal belt and works within the mainstream court system, said the jirga system survives because in many parts of Pakistan, a man's honor is intrinsically linked to how his wife or daughter behave.
If a couple is not married and they are having a relationship, a jirga may rule that the woman should be shot, Afridi said.That is okay for many, because they have to protect family honor.The slightest transgression by a woman -- being seen talking to a man on the street, perhaps, or having an unknown phone number in a mobile -- can bring harsh punishment and social ostracism of the family, he says, making the quick, harsh judgment of the panchayats popular.Women are cherished here, he said. Men protect them. If a woman is out of her house then what is she doing? That is what people think here.Many women are unable to speak out because they lack the support and education to understand their rights, activists say.But even those who dare often get nowhere.The most high profile instance of a violent ruling by a tribal court against a woman is that of the gang rape of Mukhtaran Mai, which took place near Multan in 2002.Mai was allegedly attacked to settle a matter of village honor, as decided by a panchayat. She was then paraded naked through her village.
Unlike most rape victims, who face stark recriminations for speaking out, and who are sometimes even expected to commit suicide, she filed a criminal case against 14 men.Six men were convicted and sentenced to death that year, but in 2005 the Lahore High Court commuted one sentence to life in prison and acquitted the rest.Pakistan's Supreme Court upheld that decision in April this year, in what rights activists said was a crushing blow to women's and minority rights in Pakistan.The men were released days later. Mai said she is afraid they will return and kill her.Ali Dayan Hasan, senior researcher at Human Rights Watch's South Asia division, said the lack of justice for women in cases like such as Mai's is a structural failing of the criminal justice system.The verdict also lays bare the misogyny of Pakistan's judicial system because it is a judiciary that is instinctively unsympathetic to women.(Editing by Chris Allbritton and Miral Fahmy)
Clinton Calls on Countries to Stop Doing Business with Syria-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton calls on countries to stop buying Syrian oil and gas. by Elad Benari, Canada Published: 13/08/11, 12:28 AM
The United States on Friday called on countries to stop buying Syrian oil and gas in an attempt to build pressure on Syrian President Bashar Assad to end a brutal crackdown against protesters.Reuters reported that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hinted the government might be making some headway in persuading countries in Europe, as well as China and India, to curtail their energy ties with Syria.
Speaking at a news conference with Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere, Clinton stopped short of explicitly calling for Assad’s departure, saying, We urge those countries still buying Syrian oil and gas, those countries still sending Assad weapons, those countries whose political and economic support give him comfort in his brutality, to get on the right side of history.She added,President Assad has lost the legitimacy to lead and it is clear that Syria would be better off without him.Speaking on condition of anonymity, U.S. officials told Reuters it was the first time Washington had explicitly called for a boycott of Syrian oil since anti-Assad protests erupted in March.Syria’s crude oil production numbers 380,000 barrels a day and generates most of the country’s hard currency. Reuters reported Syrian crude exports go mostly to European nations such as Germany, Italy and France.
Clinton’s comments come after on Thursday she said the United States wants other nations to add their voices to the call for Assad to step down.Meanwhile, the violence in Syria continued on Friday, as Syrian forces shot dead 13 protesters following the prayers for the second Friday of the Ramadan.Tens of thousands of protesters hit the streets of Hama and Deir al-Zor, demanding the overthrow of Assad.
Activists said six people were killed in the Damascus suburbs of Saqba and Douma, two in the commercial hub of Aleppo, and two in the northern province of Idlib on the Turkish border.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

China sends anti-terrorism unit to restive west
AP By SCOTT McDONALD - Associated Press | AP – AUG 13,11
BEIJING (AP) — China has sent its elite Snow Leopard anti-terrorism unit to its far western frontier where ethnic violence has flared, hoping to boost security before the area stages an international trade convention in weeks, a state newspaper reported Sunday.At least 20 people died in two attacks last month in the southern Xinjiang region, where security had already been tight since 2009 fighting between majority Han Chinese and minority ethnic Uighurs (pronounced WEE'-gur), who are Muslim and share other cultural links with groups in Central Asia.The government has blamed Muslim extremists for the July attacks and violent protests in Kashgar, where 80 percent of the 600,000 population are Uighurs, and in another southern Xinjiang city, Hotan.Recently it sent its elite Snow Leopard Commando unit to patrol the region from a base in Aksu city, roughly halfway between Kashgar and the regional capital of Urumqi, the China Daily said, quoting a spokesman for the Xinjiang People's Armed Police.Calls to the Xinjiang government and police were not answered Saturday.The Snow Leopards, formed in 2002, were charged with securing the 2008 Beijing Olympics and have a mandate to combat terrorism, control riots, dispose of bombs, respond to hijackings and carry out other special tasks, the newspaper said.
Xinjiang is China's Central Asian frontier — bordering Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia and other countries — with Kashgar serving as an important hub along the ancient Silk Road trade route to Europe.The Snow Leopard unit will be increasing security for the China-Eurasia Expo, being held in Urumqi the first week in September.China has blamed the region's unrest on forces outside the country, and said last month's attacks were carried out by militants trained in camps run by the East Turkistan Islamic Movement in Pakistan on Xinjiang's southern border. It has given no evidence for the allegation.Many Uighurs in the area resent the Han Chinese majority as interlopers relegating them to minority status in their homeland.China defends its treatment of minorities, saying all ethnic groups are treated equally and that tens of billions of dollars in investment and aid have dramatically raised their living standards.
