8 People Killed, At Least 40 Injured In Storms and Tornadoes-By KELLY STEVENSON, BEN STEIN and TOM LIDDY-DEC 24,15-YAHOONEWS-Good Morning America

Eight people have been killed in storms and tornadoes across the South late Wednesday, with at least 40 more people injured, according to officials.Amongst the dead was a 7-year-old boy and a person, found as a result of a storm in Holly Springs, Mississippi, according to the mayor. No further details about the circumstances were immediately available. At least 15 people were injured there. Search and rescue efforts will continue overnight, Mayor Kelvin Buck told ABC News.Also killed were a husband and wife, both in their 60's and another man in his 60's, according to Benton County Sheriff's Department.Dramatic photos of the storm bearing down on Holly Springs emerged Wednesday night.At least six counties reported damage in Mississippi, where at least 40 were reported injured, and search and rescues were being conducted there.One of the storms, a reported tornado, hit Bellevue, Mississippi, damaging 10-15 homes, at least 7 of which were destroyed, according to the Coahoma County Emergency Management.Five injuries were reported there and 2 additional severe injuries were reported near Shannon Airport, in the Clarksdale, MS area, the department said.In nearby Como, MS, at least two homes were damaged.In Perry County, Tennessee, there are two confirmed fatalities.In Wayne County, Tennessee, there was major structural damage to several buildings and homes in the area, but it was unclear how many, according to Wayne County Sheriff Ric Wilson. There were several injuries as well, he said.In Atkins, Arkansas, police, fire and rescue officials were dispatched to a residence on an entrapment call. High winds and heavy rain had caused a large tree to uproot and fall onto a house. An 18-year-old woman and an 18-month toddler were inside. The toddler was extricated by emergency personnel and transported to an area hospital. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.Some 68 million Americans were forecast to be in the path of the storms Wednesday night.A "particularly dangerous situation" tornado watch was issued from Monroe, Louisiana, to Jackson, Tennessee, meaning there was a good chance of long-track tornadoes.In addition to Mississippi, severe storms were predicted for parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas and Alabama.

Southern U.S. cleans up after severe storms packing twisters kill six-Reuters-DEC 24,15-YAHOO NEWS

(Reuters) - Emergency crews on Thursday were assessing damage after a dangerous storm system packing strong winds and tornadoes tore through the southern and central United States, killing at least six people and leaving several others reported missing.The stormy weather scrambled winter getaway plans in Florida while northeastern states were expected to see unseasonably warm temperatures, with forecasts indicating New York City would be warmer than Los Angeles on Christmas Day. [L1N14A249].More than 20 tornadoes were reported on Wednesday in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi and Tennessee, the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center said.A large tornado struck a 100-mile stretch of northern Mississippi Wednesday afternoon, demolishing or heavily damaging dozens of homes and other buildings in a six-county area before plowing into Tennessee, authorities said.Three people were confirmed dead from the storms in Mississippi, including a 7-year-old boy, two more in Tennessee and one in Arkansas, according to emergency management and law enforcement officials in the region.Emergency crews in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee were looking for several people reported missing and assessing damage from the destructive winds.Isolated severe thunderstorms were expected to continue early Thursday from Louisiana through Kentucky, up to Washington D.C. and eastern Pennsylvania, the National Weather Service said.Gregg Flynn, a spokesman for the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, reported three people were killed and more than 40 injuries in the six hardest-hit counties.In Tennessee, clobbered by multiple twisters, state Emergency Management Agency officials confirmed a 7-year-old boy, and two adults, a man and woman, were killed.An 18-year-old Arkansas woman died and a toddler was injured when a tree crashed into her house after being uprooted by powerful winds, according to emergency officials there.Flooding from the rains would remain a hazard for drivers early on Thursday, forecasters said.More than 100 million Americans were expected to travel during the holiday period beginning Wednesday, 91 million of them by car, according to the American Automobile Association.(Reporting by Victoria Cavaliere; editing by Jason Neely)

HOSEA 4:1-3
1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land,(EARTH) because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2  By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3  Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

ZEPHANIAH 1:2-3
2  I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.

Whale carcass closes popular Cape Town beach amid shark concerns-Reuters-DEC 24,15-YAHOONEWS

CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - A South African beach popular with Christmas holidaymakers has been closed until the carcass of a beached whale is removed amid concerns its blood may attract sharks, the City of Cape Town said on Wednesday.Local media described it as a humpback whale measuring over 14 meters (46 feet) in length and said two sharks had been spotted in the area."The immediate area around the whale carcass has been cordoned off and this area is closed to members of the public ... The blood and debris from the carcass can attract sharks to the area," the city said in a statement.The affected area was the Strand Beach, a stretch of sand east of Cape Town.Great whites, the largest predatory species of shark, are common in the cool Atlantic waters off Cape Town and sometimes attack surfers or swimmers. They would not be expected to attack a whale and it was not immediately clear how the humpback had died.(Writing by Ed Stoddard; editing by Ralph Boulton)

Airlines prep for holiday crush: More flights, bigger planes-Airlines hope to repeat smooth Thanksgiving performance over peak Christmas-travel period-Associated Press By David Koenig, AP Airlines Writer-YAHOONEWS-DEC 24,15

DALLAS (AP) -- Airlines are shifting the timing of thousands of flights, even adding dozens of redeyes, as they try to avoid delays while hauling millions of passengers from now through the Christmas weekend. Success or failure could all depend on the weather and Mother Nature isn't making it easy on airlines.Rain and fog in the Northeast caused delays and cancellations Wednesday in Boston, New York and Washington — the busiest part of the country's airspace. Rain in Chicago and Atlanta caused some delays in those cities too. Severe storms that ripped through Mississippi and Alabama, however, had little impact on air travel since no major airports are in those states.Weather wasn't the only culprit for travel headaches. A Black Lives Matter protest in Minneapolis had clogged roads around the airport and temporarily blocked access to one of the two terminals. Passengers were moving through security again as of 4:30 local time. There were about 5,300 delays and 430 cancelations around 8:15 p.m., according to flight tracking site FlightAware. That's double the number of normal cancellations. The majority of flights canceled were smaller regional jets that carry 50 to 76 passengers. More than 28,000 flights were scheduled for Wednesday and a typical day sees about 150 cancelations and 4,000 delays.The catch: flights are extremely full over the holiday period, with most travelers unable to make changes in their schedule.Airlines expect about 38 million passengers over a 17-day period spanning Christmas and New Year's, an increase of about 3 percent, according to an industry trade group, Airlines for America. The group says the average flight could be 90 percent full.Crowds like that mean that any hiccup in the system — delays at a major airport, a technology glitch — can ripple across the country and leave tens of thousands of passengers standing in airport lines." The biggest factor is always weather," said American Airlines spokesman Ross Feinstein.Back-to-back storms led to more than 4,300 canceled flights around Christmas 2012. This time the Northeast corridor not only should be free of snow and ice, it should be relatively balmy with temperatures on Christmas Day in the 60s from New York to Boston. But rain and snow are forecast through Thursday in parts of the West, and the South and Ohio Valley could see severe storms before Christmas.Airlines have been helped recently by the El Niño pattern that has brought above-average temperatures to northern states. "We saw that through the Thanksgiving holiday season, and we've seen that through November and December," said Steve Hozdulick, Southwest Airlines' managing director of operational performance.United posted its lowest flight-cancellation rate ever for a Thanksgiving week, and Southwest had its best on-time performance ever for the day before the holiday, which helps reduce other problems such as lost or delayed bags.From 9 percent to 19 percent of flights were delayed over the peak five-day Thanksgiving period, according to tracking service FlightAware.com. A year earlier, when the weather was worse, delays ran between 12 percent and 31 percent.Besides the vagaries of weather, airlines in recent years have done a better job of adjusting schedules for peak holiday periods.According to Mark Duell of FlightAware, U.S. airlines added up to 700 flights a day on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, compared with the same days last week. They cut about 4,400 flights on Christmas Eve and 5,700 on Friday, Christmas Day, when fewer people want to travel, he said.Delta Air Lines and its Delta Connection affiliate scheduled 5,253 flights next Sunday, compared with fewer than 5,000 on a typical winter Sunday. Southwest expected Wednesday to be its busiest day, with more than 3,800 flights.The peak day was last Friday for American, with 6,900 flights, and United, nearly 5,000, but both will also operate increased flights each of the next two Sundays.Some of the additional flights are late at night, which gives travelers more options — and sometimes a lower fare. American and United successfully used the redeye tactic over Thanksgiving."Hubs like Houston, Chicago and Denver will see large increases of flights departing after 10 p.m. — very similar to what we did over Thanksgiving," said United Airlines spokesman Charles Hobart. American added night flights at Dallas-Fort Worth, Phoenix and Charlotte.At Delta, some extra flights will connect big cities that get heavy traffic all the time, while others will go to warm-weather destinations, said spokesman Morgan Durrant. Delta will occasionally use bigger planes. Through Jan. 3 there is an Atlanta-Salt Lake City round trip using a 293-seat Airbus A330 instead of smaller planes such as Boeing 737s with just 160 seats.The airlines say they will have enough employees on hand to handle the extra passengers.The Transportation Security Administration is also adjusting staffing, said spokesman Mike England. Wait times at security checkpoints have increased this year, and passengers can expect longer delays during the holidays, he said. Holiday travelers slow the process when they overstuff carry-on bags, which makes them harder to screen.Many travelers are bound to be stressed out. Patience will be a valuable commodity.

Southwest flight makes emergency landing at Oakland airport-Associated Press By JANIE HAR-DEC 24,15-YAHOONEWS

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A Southwest Airlines flight made what appeared to be a normal landing Wednesday after circling for several hours over the Oakland airport due to possible landing gear problems.TV helicopter video showed Southwest flight 2547 landing at Oakland International Airport with a puff of smoke from its tires.The Chicago-bound flight took off from Oakland at about 6 a.m. and landed just over four hours later. There were 139 passengers on the plane. No injuries were reported, but some passengers were panicking at the end of the ordeal."People were holding hands. Everyone was on their phones, I'm sure sending messages to loved ones," passenger Ashley Stasio, 34, told The Associated Press. "I don't mean to sound dramatic, but it was scary."KRON-TV reported a front tire on the landing gear had blown out.Stasio, of San Francisco, said the captain reported soon after takeoff that there were issues with the plane. Later, he told passengers that the plane would not be going to Chicago and would burn fuel over Oakland for about an hour.Ninety minutes later, he said 6,000 more pounds of fuel had to be burned. He did not explain further until the plane was ready to land, and by that time passengers were watching the news online, Stasio said.It was a smooth landing, she said.A short statement from Southwest Airlines said the captain returned to Oakland because of a reported maintenance issue. It did not elaborate.Airport spokeswoman Keonnis Taylor declined to comment on the incident, except to say the plane landed safely without injuries.The airport expects more than 600,000 passengers this holiday season.

France is Israel’s largest source of aliyah for 2nd straight year-Russia saw most dramatic increase in immigration to Jewish state, according to annual Jewish Agency figures-By JTA and Times of Israel staff December 22, 2015, 10:22 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

For the second consecutive year, France is the largest provider of Jewish immigrants to Israel with a record total of 7,328 newcomers in 2015.The number of French citizens who immigrated to Israel under the Law of Return for Jews from January 1 to December 1 constituted a 10 percent increase over the 6,661 French olim who came during the corresponding period last year, according to Jewish Agency for Israel figures obtained Tuesday by JTA. In all of 2014, a total of 7,238 olim came from France.Last year’s total, which was the highest since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, was surpassed last month with the arrival of 468 French Jews. According to the Jewish Agency, French aliyah has increased because of a mix of factors, including the community’s fear of anti-Semitic attacks, economic stagnation in France and its members’ attachment to Israel.The number of French Jews opting to leave an increasingly hostile France for Israel has increased steadily but significantly over the past few years. In 2012, 1,900 Jews came; in 2013, 3,293. The 2014/15 figures represent a nearly 300 percent increase to the number who came in 2012 and make France the world’s largest source of new Israeli immigrants.The most dramatic increase in aliyah this year came from Russia, which provided more than 6,000 olim in the first 11 months of 2015 — some 44 percent over the 4,458 who came in the corresponding period last year. In total, slightly more than 5,000 came from Russia last year.Russian aliyah increased following a financial crisis last year that halved the ruble’s value against the dollar and amid lingering concerns among Russian Jews over rising nationalism and undemocratic practices, according to Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky.Aliyah from Ukraine, which is also suffering from a financial recession following a bloody revolution last year and the secession of two pro-Russian eastern enclaves, increased to 6,848 people this year compared to the 6,149 who came in all of 2014.The United States has provided Israel with 2,730 olim this year compared to 2,940 in the corresponding period last year.

Hungary: Labeling of settlement goods is counterproductive-Initiative ‘merely substitutes real actions,’ weakens EU’s position in peace talks, Budapest foreign ministry tells Times of Israel-By Raphael Ahren December 22, 2015, 9:35 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Hungary is sticking to its criticism of the European Union’s policy of labeling settlement goods, arguing that it is counterproductive to the body’s bid to become a significant player in the Middle East, and does nothing to advance Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation.“Hungary does not consider that the indication of origin of products from Israeli settlements is effective and timely, as it weakens the position of the EU in the Middle East peace process and does not contribute to the practical solution of the conflict,” the Foreign Ministry in Budapest told The Times of Israel on Tuesday.The statement appears to contradict the stance of the EU foreign policy czar, Federica Mogherini, who last week said that all member states are “united” in support for the measure. According to guidelines published last month by the European Commission, goods manufactured over the pre-1967 lines may not state that they were “Made in Israel.” Rather, they should be labeled with a formulation such as “Product from the West Bank (Israeli settlements),” the Commission suggested.“The European Commission expects all member states to comply with EU legislation,” an official in the union’s delegation to Israel told The Times of Israel at the time.While Hungary supports an “increased role” for the EU in the peace process, it believes that requiring special labels for Israeli products made beyond the pre-1967 lines “merely substitutes real actions,” its foreign ministry said.Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó made this position clear in meetings with both Israeli and Palestinian officials last month, the ministry added.Szijjártó declared during a visit to Jerusalem on November 16 that he considers labeling “an inefficient instrument” that is “irrational” and “does not contribute to a solution [to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict], but causes damage.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu subsequently praised him for his “strong statement.” The Hungarian foreign ministry vowed Tuesday to continue stating its position in the various EU forums. Other EU member states have taken a “similar approach,” the ministry noted, citing “published statements” but refusing to elaborate.In fact, few other states have come out as clearly and publicly as Hungary against settlement labeling.While Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias sent a letter to Netanyahu telling him Athens was opposed to the EU’s move and did not think it would do much to advance the peace process, Athens never publicly disowned labeling. Since the country doesn’t import any goods from the settlements, it does not face the questions of whether to implement the EU’s directive or whether to defy it.Hungary does import some items from the settlements, but they make for a marginal part of the country’s trade with Israel.Last week, the lower house of the Czech parliament passed two resolutions criticizing the labeling, and calling on the government to reject the measures.Some German lawmakers officials likewise said they deem labeling unwise, but the government later clarified that it backs the EU’s directive.At a meeting last week of the EU’s Foreign Affairs Council, Mogherini briefly addressed the controversy surrounding labeling.“We had an exchange of views in this respect with the ministers, and we commonly decided that it was important also for me to pass this message publicly that the Council and the European Union stay united on these technical guidelines on indication of origin, which is in no way a boycott and should in no way be interpreted as one,” she said.Israel fiercely rejects the EU’s labeling policy and threatened to cut off ties with the union’s regarding the peace process. However, last week top Israeli officials met with representatives of the Middle East Quartet, including an EU official, to discuss regional developments and the peace process.

Ancient inscription points to Jewish past for early Christian site-Marble slab with 7 lines of Aramaic and Hebrew text found at biblical town on banks of Sea of Galilee may be from Byzantine-era synagogue. ‘There’s been nothing like this before,’ says archaeologist-By Ilan Ben Zion December 21, 2015, 2:23 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

When Haifa University archaeologist Haim Cohen called the head of the Golan Heights regional council Eli Malka earlier this month, he said he had a Hanukkah present for him.“The good news: We’ve found a new 1,600-year-old Jewish settlement on the shores of the Sea of Galilee,” the archaeologist recounted in a phone interview with The Times of Israel. “The bad news: They haven’t been paying municipal taxes.” Cohen’s team recently unearthed a monumental Hebrew inscription at Kursi, on the eastern side of the Sea of Galilee on the Golan Heights, providing conclusive evidence that the Roman- and Byzantine-era town mentioned in the New Testament and Talmud was Jewish.Digs this month at the previously obscure site yielded a village with a large public building — possibly a synagogue — and an enormous inner harbor for large ships.More impressive, however, were seven lines of Hebrew and Aramaic text carved into a large slab of imported Greek marble. It includes the words “marmaria,” “amen,” “the holy king” and “the merciful,” researchers said.Excavations at the site are funded by the Avery-Tsui Foundation, and headed by Cohen with the collaboration of the Israel Antiquities Authories and the Israel Parks Authority. High school student volunteers also took part in the dig.Cohen was reluctant to reveal much about the inscription until experts had a chance to study the text more thoroughly. He did suggest, however, that “marmaria” could refer either to a type of marble, or — more intriguingly — “the rabbi of Mary.”Haggai Misgav, a Hebrew University expert in ancient inscriptions who studied the slab on site, said the text was a standard kind of dedicatory text from a synagogue, dismissing as unlikely the possibility that it was from a Judeo-Christian house of worship.The script used in the text was highly reminiscent of the Trumpeting Place inscription found at the base of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, suggesting the preservation of highly skilled Hebrew masons over the centuries. While it likely dates to around the 4th or 5th centuries CE, the village probably predates it by centuries.The fact that it was carved into expensive stone, rather than embedded in a mosaic floor as was common in that period, was even more remarkable, Cohen said.“There’s been nothing like this before. We didn’t know something like this existed,” he said, calling the discovery of Kursi’s Jewish history “an exceptional accomplishment.”The site is associated with the account in the Gospels of Jesus exorcising the Gerasene demoniac, casting the demons into a herd of pigs. Early Christians venerated the place and established a monastery there. The remains of the monastery were found in 1970 during the construction of a road, and excavated in the years following.——————Follow Ilan Ben Zion on Twitter and Facebook.

Netanyahu signs natural gas deal, passing major hurdle-But critics vow to take fight to court, signaling year-long battle over deal with conglomerate to extract gas from offshore fields will continue-By Raoul Wootliff and Melanie Lidman December 17, 2015, 3:00 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

After months of intense debate and numerous bureaucratic and legislative hurdles, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed Thursday a controversial deal on Israel’s newly found gas fields in the Mediterranean.The agreement paves the way for a consortium of Noble Energy and the Delek Group to begin work on extracting gas from the massive Leviathan gas field off Israel’s coast, which is thought to contain some 22 trillion cubic feet of gas, and is expected to transform the country into a regional energy powerhouse. However, activists and politicians against the deal wasted no time in vowing to take the agreement to the High Court, signaling that the fight over the move was far from over.During a ceremony at the Ne’ot Hovav industrial zone near Beersheba, Netanyahu called the gas “a gift from God” and said the deal would pave the way to energy independence.“This plan is important to our economy because it gives us a much cheaper source of energy,” he said. “It makes us, if not an energy superpower, then definitely an important international force.”The move comes after a year of performing political cartwheels to override Knesset and public opposition to the deal, which critics claim will create a monopoly in the gas market and lead to higher prices for Israeli consumers.In a reference to ongoing calls to renegotiate the deal Netanyahu said, “There is no way to open up these additional gas fields without this plan. This is the only option.” Netanyahu was able to sign the deal after invoking a never-before-used clause to override an antitrust ruling against the deal by declaring it an issue of national security.“Unfortunately, this issue has become a political and populist discussion,” he said Thursday. “This plan is vital to our security, because we don’t want to be left with one power plant that’s under fire; we need multiple gas fields.”In addition to security considerations, Netanyahu said the deal was also an issue of international diplomacy.“This is essential for our foreign relations. Many countries have expressed interest [in buying the natural gas]. Not just Greece and Cyprus, whose leaders I am meeting in a few weeks. Jordan, and of course the Palestinian Authority as well, have shown interest. Turkey and Egypt are also interested, and we are in discussion with them,” he said.But critics have vowed to continue their struggle against the deal.Opposition leader Isaac Herzog said Netanyahu’s use of Clause 52 of the Restrictive Trade Practices (antitrust) Law was “a cynical ploy that takes advantage of our security situation.”He said his Zionist Union faction would bring the issue before the High Court, “in order to save Israel’s economy and preserve the rights of the Israeli public.” Former environmental activist MK Yael Cohen-Paran (Zionist Union) warned that the struggle is far from over. “We will continue in the courts and by every lawful means,” she said in a statement. “The evidence we have accumulated in the past proves time after time that the use of Article 52 is not legal, and that public interests are being trampled in favor of tycoons.”Cohen-Paran slammed Netanyahu for “ignoring the recommendations of the Economic Affairs Committee, and the security, economic, and energy interests of the State of Israel.” She also pushed the Bank of Israel and the Finance Ministry to increase their transparency about the details of the gas deal.Netanyahu was forced to pursue the use of Clause 52 after then-antitrust commissioner David Gilo ruled last year that the Delek-Noble conglomerate that is developing Leviathan may constitute a monopoly, sparking a vociferous national debate on the terms given to the energy companies.Gilo resigned in May over Netanyahu’s decision to push the current deal through.Former economy minister Aryeh Deri, not wanting to pay a political price for the gas deal but also not wanting to stand in its way, resigned his post last month, allowing Netanyahu to take over the ministry and sign the deal himself.Netanyahu previously failed over several attempts to pass a Knesset vote transferring Deri’s “Article 52 authority,” as it is known, to the broader cabinet.Under the terms of the outline, the Delek Group will sell its holdings in the Tamar gas field, as well as two smaller, as-yet undeveloped fields about 120 kilometers off the Haifa coast called Karish and Tanin, within six years and Noble Energy will gradually reduce its holdings in Tamar to no more than 25 percent within the same time frame. During those six years, prices for natural gas will be regulated.Professor Zvi Eckstein, the deputy governor of the Bank of Israel between 2006 and 2011, said the gas deal will bring cheaper energy, cleaner energy, a lot of billions of shekels in taxes, but that the agreement should have been hammered out five years ago when the massive gas fields were first discovered. Eckstein, who is now the dean of the Arison School of Business and the School of Economics at IDC Herzliya, said that the gas deal can improve regional ties with countries like Jordan, Egypt, and Turkey. While Egypt recently discovered a massive offshore gas field, it will take years to develop and Israel can provide much-needed gas in the meantime.He said he believes Israel could start exporting natural gas within a year once the High Court of Justice approves the deal that Netanyahu signed on Thursday.US company Noble Energy and the Israel-based Delek Group have been producing gas from the Tamar field off the Israeli coast since 2013. They have also teamed up to develop the offshore Leviathan field, believed to be the largest in the Mediterranean until a recent Egyptian find which dwarfed Leviathan.Oshrit Gan-El, a spokesperson for the Green Course environmental activist group, which specializes in the gas deal, predicted that the agreement would not stand.“We’re not surprised [Netanyahu signed the deal]; it’s another step in the chain of antidemocratic actions that we’ve seen for this gas deal,” she said. “We think that this deal will collapse in the coming months, there’s no balance between interests of the public and the interests of the companies.”She added that the group will support all of the petitions filed in court against the deal.Green Course has been part of a number of environmental organizations organizing weekly protests against the gas deal on Saturday nights. This coming Saturday night, they will protest in Netanya in front of the home of Yitzhak Tshuva, the owner of Delek Group.Tamar Pileggi contributed to this report.

UN demands Syria allow urgent aid to 13.5 million people-Security Council resolution says 6.5 million are internally displaced, 393,700 trapped in besieged areas-By AP December 22, 2015, 10:50 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations Security Council has unanimously approved a resolution demanding that all combatants in Syria allow the urgent delivery of desperately needed humanitarian aid to more than 13.5 million people.The resolution expresses “outrage” at the escalating violence in Syria and extends the authorization for cross-border aid deliveries without government approval until Jan. 10, 2017. The council said it was “gravely distressed by the continued deterioration of the devastating humanitarian situation in Syria.”Of the more than 13.5 million people in need of food and medical assistance, it said 6.5 million are internally displaced, 4.5 million including Palestinian refugees are living in hard-to-reach areas, and 393,700 are trapped in besieged areas.The council also expressed grave concern that extremist groups are hindering aid deliveries.The International Organization for Migration said Tuesday that its statistics show the number of people fleeing conflict or poverty who have arrived in the European Union by sea this year has hit the one million mark.Most people arriving in Europe are now entering Greece after taking short trips on rickety boats or inflatable rafts from Turkey. The IOM says more than 820,000 came that way in 2015, many fleeing the wars in Syria and Iraq. As winter closes in, the colder weather appears to have slowed the flow somewhat, although this is unlikely to last long.

UN condemns fighting by Syria and rebels on Golan-Unanimous Security Council resolution sponsored by US, Russia reveals fears of Syrian-Israeli escalation-By Agencies and Times of Israel staff December 22, 2015, 9:16 pm

UNITED NATIONS — The UN Security Council has strongly condemned the fighting and use of heavy weapons by Syrian government troops and armed groups on the Golan Heights.The area that has separated Syrian and Israeli forces since 1974 is supposed to be a demilitarized zone.A resolution co-sponsored by Russia and the United States and adopted unanimously by the council on Tuesday calls on parties to the Syrian conflict to halt military activity there.The resolution extends the mandate of the nearly 800-strong UN peacekeeping force on the Golan Heights until June 30, 2016.The Security Council echoed Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s findings that the ongoing military activities have the potential to escalate Syrian-Israeli tensions.It reaffirmed its readiness to impose sanctions on individuals or groups supporting extremists. In recent years, the Golan has seen fierce fighting between pro-Assad forces and an al-Qaeda-affiliated extremist group, al-Nusra Front, among other rebels. Gun, mortar and rocket fire has occasionally crossed the border, leading to Israeli retaliatory strikes against Syrian army positions.Meanwhile, the Syrian side of the plateau has seen a growing presence of Hezbollah-allied terror cells backed by Iran. An Iranian general, Mohammed Allahdadi, was killed in a reported Israeli airstrike while coordinating these activities in January. Early Sunday, a purported Israeli missile attack on a Damascus suburb killed Samir Kuntar, a Hezbollah-linked terror chief who spent 29 years in an Israeli prison for is part in the kidnapping-murder of four Israelis in 1979.

EU probes Greek border gaps, in Schengen threat By Nikolaj Nielsen-DEC 22,15-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 17:54-The European Commission is compiling a report on Greece that could see internal border controls increased from the six month limit to up to two years.The move follows border tensions after some 800,000 people crossed into Greece since the start of the year and headed towards the mainland EU to seek international protection.Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, Sweden and Norway all reintroduced the checks in response.Some, like Hungary and Slovenia, also opted for barbed wire fences along their respective borders.France, for its part, set up checks following the Paris attacks in November.But some of those checks and fences have roused broader fears that the passport-free Schengen area is at the risk of collapse.Germany imposed a ten day control at its Austrian border at the start of September after having announced an open door policy for all Syrian nationals.Berlin then extended it to 20 days and then again for another 20 days. It now wants to maintain the controls but is restricted by a six-month limit.-New evaluation report-The six-month limit can be lifted but only after EU institutional procedures and evaluations determine the gaps on the Greek frontiers somehow pose a major threat to Schengen.All eyes are now on Greece which, for its part, denies it has failed to properly seal its own borders.EU officials in November went to the Greek land border with Turkey in an unannounced visit. They also went to the Greek islands of Chios and Samos.Neither island has a so-called hotspot, areas where arriving refugees are screened and identified, up and running. The problem is due, in part, to other member states having failed to offer up the required experts needed to man the arrival zones.But on Tuesday (22 December), a commission official told MEPs in the civil liberties committee that the November spot checks will form the basis of a new evaluation report."Recently an unannounced visit to Greece took place on the land borders with Turkey and on the sea borders. That report is under preparation and will be submitted to [...] the Schengen Evaluation committee, for adoption hopefully very soon", he said.If adopted, the report might impact on further decisions by the commission to use a specific clause in the Schengen borders code.The clause allows the commission to recommend the reintroduction of border controls at the internal borders if there "are serious deficiencies" on how Greece manages its outer frontiers.Should Greece not respond and if the Schengen area remains wobbly, then member states would be able to extend their internal checks from the maximum of six months to up to two years.-'Our country can’t handle it'-Immediate controls can currently be imposed for two months if there is "a serious threat to the internal security and public policy". If the event is foreseen, the limit is set to six months.Greece maintains it is meeting international obligations with rescue operations.The country, wrecked in part by the financial crisis and by austerity measures imposed by international creditors, says it has spent some €1 billion from its national budget to better manage the refugee inflows.“Our country can’t handle it, our economy can’t handle it", said Greece's citizens’ protection minister, Nikos Toskas, earlier this month.On Tuesday, the death toll of people dying while trying to reach Greece increased by 11. Three of them were children. All had set off from Turkey when their boat sank en route to Samos.

Syrian refugees farm cannabis in Lebanon-Reuters By Alia Haju-DEC 22,15-YAHOONEWS

BEKAA VALLEY, Lebanon (Reuters) - Inside a garage in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley filled with green dust and piles of cannabis, stand a woman and a 13-year-old boy, sifting through the twigs and buds of the recent harvest.They are Muslim refugees from Raqqa province - de facto capital in Syria of Islamic State fighters - and part of an extended family of about 25 that fled in the past few years to live in tents in the relative safety of a Lebanese village.The 29-year-old woman, who declined to be identified for safety reasons, left two months ago with her youngest son, 5, to join family including cousins, second cousins and grandparents. Wearing scarves over their faces to protect them from the crop, the women and their relatives work in fields of the sticky green, spiky-leafed plants. It is a job that migrant workers from neighboring Syria have done for many years, spending a few months a year in the region before returning home.Since the rise of Islamic State, it is now a task that could put them, and their family back in Syria, at risk of harm including death because working with, getting close to or consuming drugs and alcohol is considered a sin in Islam, refugees say."If Islamic State back home knew we work with hashish, they would cut us" with knives, says another refugee, Aisha, 15.Hind, a Lebanese landowner, spoke of the longstanding ties between Raqqa and the Bekaa, a broad and fertile valley in the center of Lebanon."Farmers from Raqqa have been coming to work our fields during harvest season for the past eight years," she says. However since the rise of Islamic State, Hind says that the Lebanese villagers tend to view the Syrians with suspicion.The Syrian woman says she grew cotton on her 10 acres of land in Raqqa, adding that she often encounters racism from locals in Bekaa."The Lebanese villagers sometimes call us Daesh," she says, using a derogatory Arabic acronym for Islamic State.Although what is said may sometimes sound like a joke, she says that she believes that some Lebanese regard Syrian immigrants from Raqqa with caution because of their home region’s association with Islamic State.Growing cannabis can be a lucrative business for landowners, even if it is illegal in Lebanon." Any job in Lebanon makes you $700 per month, but working with drugs can get you $10,000 a day,” says Sharif, a landowner and grower of cannabis.The woman earns $16 a day processing the plant, which allows her to send some money back home to her family still in Raqqa.Living in Lebanon has also given her and other refugee women a measure of freedom they didn’t enjoy in Syria, she says."In Raqqa I have to be covered from top to bottom, even my eyes are not allowed to show," she says, wearing a tight veil, jeans and long top. "If I went out with what I'm wearing now, I would get a few whips" from Islamic State supporters, she adds.As she harvests and processes cannabis, the woman constantly thinks of family still in Syria, she says. She aims to get her husband and other son out of Syria to join her.“It was really hard to flee Raqqa,” she says, declining to give details on how she smuggled herself out of the country.

Bogota (AFP) - Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos signed a decree Tuesday legalizing and regulating medical marijuana, the latest softening of the country's hardline tactics in the war on drugs.In a nationally televised address, Santos announced it would be fully legal to grow, process, import and export cannabis and its derivatives for medical and scientific use."This decree allows licenses to be granted for the possession of seeds, cannabis plants and marijuana," he said from the presidential palace."It places Colombia in the group of countries that are at the forefront... in the use of natural resources to fight disease."He added that the measure "does not go against our international commitments on drug control."Colombia's government has long been a close ally of the United States in fighting international drug trafficking, using its military and billions of dollars in US funding to try to shed its title as the world's largest cocaine producer.But it has shown signs of easing its hardline stance in recent months.Santos's announcement follows a recent decision to stop aerially spraying the herbicide glyphosate on fields of coca, the raw ingredient for cocaine.The World Health Organization warned in April that the chemical, sold by US biotech company Monsanto under the brand name Roundup, is "probably carcinogenic."Santos also announced in September that Colombia would begin giving land to farmers who stop growing coca.Medical marijuana had previously fallen into a legal gray area in Colombia.It was authorized under a 1986 law, but the lack of regulation prevented production on a national level."The manufacture, export, sale, and medical and scientific use of this and other substances have been permitted for several decades in Colombia. However, they were never regulated. That is what we are doing today," Santos said.Under the decree, growers will apply for licenses from the National Narcotics Council, while those seeking to manufacture cannabis-based drugs will apply for permits from the health ministry.The health ministry will also grant permits to export such drugs to countries where they are legal."Our goal is for patients to be able to access medications made in Colombia that are safe, high-quality and accessible. It is also an opportunity to promote scientific research in our country," Santos said.- 'Plan Colombia' -The push to legalize marijuana appears to be gaining momentum in Latin America, for both medical and recreational use.Uruguay legalized the production, sale and use of marijuana in 2013, Chile's Congress is debating a bill to legalize pot, and Mexico will open a "national debate" in January on overhauling its prohibitionist marijuana laws.Colombia decriminalized possession of up to 20 grams of marijuana in 2012, and it is legal to grow up to 20 cannabis plants in the country. But consuming it in public and selling it are illegal.Medical marijuana is already used in Colombia on a small scale.For example, some epileptics use cannabis extract to control their seizures.But health professionals and pharmaceutical companies say the new decree will make it much easier to buy, sell and manufacture such drugs.Illegal drugs have given rise to horrific violence by drug cartels in Colombia, and have fueled a five-decade conflict between leftist guerrillas and the Colombian government that has killed more than 220,000 people.The country has received $9 billion in US funding since 1999 under "Plan Colombia," a military and economic cooperation program aimed at combating drug trafficking.But it remains a top producer of illegal drugs, particularly cocaine.Colombia's cocaine production surged by 52 percent last year, to 442 tons, according to the United Nations.

France debates security changes in constitution By Eric Maurice-DEC 22,15-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 18:44-The French government will on Wednesday (23 December) present a bill to inscribe new security provisions into the constitution. But many fear it could harm civil liberties.The bill gives details on what happens when a state of emergency is declared, amid questions on the efficiency of existing counter-terrorist measures.It explains in which circumstances a state of emergency can be declared and what kind of measures can be taken. So far, the French constitution only says that the government can declare it, leaving details to a law voted in 1955.The new article introduced in the constitution will allow the government to declare a state of emergency in case of "immediate danger resulting from serious breach of public order" or in case of "events presenting, by nature and gravity, a characteristic of public calamity.”The duration of the state of emergency will be fixed by law.Exceptional measures, such as house arrests or administrative searches, will be allowed for six months after the end of the state of emergency.-'Adequate means'-The revision of the constitution was announced by president Francois Hollande in an address to parliament on 16 November, three days after the Paris attacks which killed 130 people and injured 350.A 12-day state of emergency was imposed on the night of the attacks and was later extended for three months.In his address to deputies and senators, Hollande said he wants to give the state "adequate means to take exceptional measures for a certain amount of time, without having recourse to a state of siege and without compromising the exercise of public liberties."Putting more detail on the state of emergency into the constitution would guarantee that no government would go too far in the implementation of exceptional measures, Hollande’s government says.But critics say that inscribing emergency measures in fundamental law creates a risk of permanent exception.Implicit in the debate is the fact the far-right National Front is a rising force in French politics and could one day access power and have far-reaching tools at its disposal.But the debate is also about how effective the measures taken under the state of emergency actually are, and whether infringement on public liberties is compensated by increased security.There were 2,898 administrative searches since the state of emergency was declared on 13 November, and 384 people have been put under house arrest, French authorities say. They also found 443 illegal weapons been found, including 41 weapons of war.-Only three investigations-But the police action prompted few prosecutions on terrorist charges.Out of the 488 related cases opened, only "25 infractions in relation to terrorism" were recorded, mainly for justification of terrorist acts, according to French media. Special anti-terrorist prosecutors have opened only three investigations, with just one person charged.The majority of the other cases are based on illegal arms, drug trafficking, counterfeiting, or trafficking of stolen goods.On Tuesday, the interior minister said that an attack was foiled last week in Orleans, in the center of France and that is was the 10th plan foiled in two years.But in a statement published on Tuesday (22 December), human rights NGO Amnesty International said that "there is a very real risk that the rights of the wider population are getting ensnared in a net supposed to be designed to identify only those posing a genuine threat.”“Declaring a state of emergency in situations where there is a ‘threat to the life of the nation’ such as the Paris attacks is one thing, but entrenching emergency measures to counter more vaguely defined threats is another,” said Gauri van Gulik, Amnesty's deputy director for Europe and Central Asia, on the government bill.Amnesty, as well as French NGOs and media, have reported incidents of people put under house arrest in an abusive way and of police raids conducted in a violent manner. Closures of some mosques also proved controversial.-Fault line-In his address to parliament, Hollande said his government would strip terrorists with double citizenship, "including those who were born French,” of their French citizenship. But the measure will be dropped from the bill to be presented on Wednesday.The Council of State, which examine laws before they are presented, said the measure could create an "excessive and disproportionate breach of rights" of a category of French citizens.Many in Hollande's center-left and left-wing majority are against this measure, which the right and far-right have been asking for.Stripping citizenship from terrorists was a condition for the centre-right opposition to support the modification of the constitution, which needs a three-fifths majority in the parliamentary congress, a joint session of both houses.National unity over security and the fight against terrorism has been fragile since the November attacks, especially in the campaign for regional elections in early December, in which the National Front did well.Fifteen months before the presidential election, followed by legislative elections, the issue will remain a political fault line.

Greek parliament to recognise Palestine By Eric Maurice-DEC 22,15-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:29-The Greek parliament is expected to recognise Palestine as a state Tuesday (22 December). The vote will be on a non-binding resolution but will be highly symbolic as Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas will first address the assembly.Meeting Abbas on Monday (21 December), Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras announced that the name "Palestine" will replace "Palestinian Authority" in all Greek public documents.He told the Palestinian leader that his government supported a two-state solution that “guarantees the establishment of a viable, territorially unified, independent and sovereign Palestinian state … which will coexist in peace and security with Israel."“Greece can play the role of a bridge in the direction of a just and viable solution to the Palestine issue,” Abbas said after his meeting with Tsipras.“We give new impetus to the resolution of the Palestinian issue," he added.Although Greece and Israel enjoy good relations, recognition of Palestine as a state has been a promise of Tsipras' government since its election last January.

 Tsipras' party, radical left Syriza, has been traditionally pro-Palestinian. Its electoral platform in 2012 called for the "abolition of military cooperation with Israel [and] support for creation of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders."The resolution voted by the Greek parliament will be non-binding on the government, similar to resolutions voted by the British, the French and other national parliaments in the EU.On Monday, Tsipras said full recognition is not being considered.“When the time is deemed to be right, Greece will make the necessary steps,” he said. 

So far, only eight EU member states have recognised the Palestinian state. But only Sweden did it after its accession to the EU, in October 2014.The others, mainly countries from the former Soviet bloc, recognised Palestine in 1988 when the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) published a Palestinian Declaration of Independence.German chancellor Angela Merkel, for her part, said a recognition would be a "unilateral step."Concerns over the Israeli and US reactions have so far prevented the EU from taking position on recognition of Palestine.In December 2014, the European Parliament also voted for a non-binding resolution to support "in principle recognition of Palestinian statehood and the two-state solution."

Bowe Bergdahl Enters No Plea at Arraignment-ABC News By SARAH KOLINOVSKY and LUIS MARTINEZ-DEC 22,15-YAHOONEWS

Bergdahl was arraigned at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and made his first appearance before a judge. If Bergdahl is convicted of misbehavior before the enemy, he could face a life sentence, while the desertion charge carries a maximum five-year sentence.Bowe Bergdahl Hearing: Investigating Officer Calls Him 'Naive and Inexperienced'-Bergdahl entered his request to be defended by civilian lawyer Eugene Fidell and military lawyer Capt. Frank Rosenblatt rather than the appointed detailed military defense counselor. His next hearing is scheduled for Jan. 12, 2016.Sitting at attention in the courtroom, Bergdahl answered military judge Col. Christopher T. Frederick succinctly with, “Yes sir, I do,” when asked whether he understood his options.At a preliminary court hearing in September, the presiding officer recommended that Bergdahl’s case proceed to a Special Court Martial, which would have carried a less severe sentence if Bergdahl were convicted. The general officer who led the Army's exhaustive investigation of Bergdahl's case also does not favor jail if Bergdahl is convicted at a court martial. “I do not believe there is a jail sentence at the end of this process,” said Major General Kenneth Dahl. “I think it would be inappropriate.”But General Robert Abrams, the head of U.S. Army Forces Command, ultimately decided to refer the case to a general court martial."The convening authority did not follow the advice of the hearing officer who heard the witnesses," said Bergdahl’s lawyer, Eugene Fidell, noting he "had hoped the case would not go in this direction."Bergdahl disappeared on June 30, 2009, from Combat Outpost Mest-Malak in Paktika Province, Afghanistan. His case has gained notoriety as the latest focus of the popular podcast Serial, which has broadcast Bergdahl’s recorded telephone conversations with filmmaker Mark Boal. In the conversations, Bergdahl defends his actions, saying he walked off base in order to bring attention to leadership issues that he felt were putting his unit in danger.

Trump uses crude language to mock Clinton-Associated Press-DEC 22,15-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump labeled Democrat Hillary Clinton "disgusting" for using the restroom during a commercial break at the last Democratic debate and used crude language to describe her primary loss to now-President Barack Obama in 2008."She was favored to win and she got schlonged, she lost," he said on Monday night, using a slang word for male genitalia.Trump, who has ramped up his criticism of Clinton in recent weeks, also mocked Clinton for returning late to Saturday's debate following a commercial break because she'd been using the bathroom."What happened to her? I'm watching the debate, and she disappeared. Where did she go?!" Trump said at the rally at the DeltaPlex Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan."I know where she went. It's disgusting, I don't want to talk about it," he added. "No, it's too disgusting. Don't say it, it's disgusting."This isn't the first time Trump has used what could be interpreted as gendered language to criticize Clinton. He has repeatedly described her as lacking the strength and stamina to be president and invoked the image of her putting on a pantsuit before heading to work.But the latest remarks appear to have hit a new nerve. After declining to comment Monday evening, Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri took to Twitter to label the language "degrading.""We are not responding to Trump, but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should," Palmieri said on Twitter, concluding with the hashtag "imwithher."The latest rift between Clinton and Trump began during Saturday evening's debate. Clinton claimed the Islamic State group had used videos of Trump's comments about Muslims to recruit militants."They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists," she said.There was no evidence to back the claim, and Trump quickly called Clinton a liar and demanded an apology."She's a liar!" he repeated at the rally, labeling Clinton "not a president."Some of Trump's critics have leveled similar criticism at him. Many Republican leaders fear Trump's incendiary rhetoric would make him unelectable in a general election against Clinton, who is widely favored over two rivals for the Democratic nomination.Trump continues to the lead the Republican field going into the new year — a development that has stunned the political world and deeply divided the Republican party.Clinton appeared Tuesday in Keota, Iowa, a small rural town where three high school students launched an energetic campaign to get Clinton to visit their school. Clinton entered the high school gymnasium — packed with about 700 people — alongside the students to huge cheers.During her remarks, Clinton stressed the differences between Republicans and Democrats in the field. She decried Trump's rhetoric on Muslims, saying it was "not only dangerous, it's shameful." She said that kind of talk plays in to the hands of violent jihadists."It's a very serious matter when you hear some of the things he and unfortunately some of the others have been saying," Clinton said.Clinton did not reference Trump's latest comments on her 2008 presidential bid, but she made a veiled reference to his campaign when a student asked her about combatting bullying.Advocating for more "love and kindness" Clinton added: "That's why it's important to stand up to bullies wherever we are and why we shouldn't let anybody bully his way into the presidency. Because that is not who we are as Americans."Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who has made Trump his main target in recent days, also weighed in Tuesday while campaigning in New Hampshire, saying that Trump's behavior is not only offending people and turning voters off to him, but it is also hurting the Republican Party."There has to be a level of decorum to win. It's not a sign of strength to insult people with profanity," Bush told reporters after speaking to voters at a community college in New Hampshire's north country. "Trump is not going to be president because he says these things. It turns people off. For crying out loud, we're two days before Christmas."_Catherine Lucey and Thomas Beaumont contributed to this report.

ROMANS 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:(HOMOSEXUALITY,AND ALL SEX SINS)
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:(LESBIENS)
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,(SODOMITES) and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.(AIDS ETC)
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

GOD CREATED THEM MALE AND FEMALE IN MARRIAGE

GENESIS 1:27-28
27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,(HAVE LOTS OF CHILDREN) and replenish the earth,(HOMOSEXUALS CAN NOT REPLENISH THE EARTH WITH CHILDREN)(BY HAVING SEX WITH EACH OTHER) and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

GENESIS 2:21-24
21  And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23  And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

MATTHEW 19:4-6
4  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6  Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Kentucky governor orders clerks' names removed from marriage licenses-Reuters By Steve Bittenbender-DEC 22,15-YAHOONEWS

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Reuters) - Kentucky's new governor on Tuesday ordered county clerks' names removed from state marriage license forms at the center of a controversy involving Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who was jailed after refusing to issue licenses to gay couples.Governor Matt Bevin had said shortly after his election in November as only the second Republican governor of Kentucky since 1971 that he would change the forms that had drawn objections from Davis and some other clerks."To ensure that the sincerely held religious beliefs of all Kentuckians are honored, I took action to revise the clerk marriage license form," Bevin said in a statement.It was unclear what effect Bevin's executive order would have on the case of Davis, who made Kentucky a focal point in the debate over gay marriage in the United States when she refused to issue any marriage licenses even after the U.S. Supreme Court in June made gay marriage legal across the United States.The jailing for five days in September of Davis, who cited her Apostolic Christian beliefs in refusing to issue the licenses, drew international attention and demonstrators.Davis also briefly met Pope Francis in September in Washington during his visit to the United States.Lawyers representing two same-sex couples and two opposite-sex couples challenged her action. U.S. District Judge David Bunning ordered Davis, 50, to issue the licenses and then jailed her after she refused.Officials with the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents the couples who sued Davis, said Bevin's action had "added to the cloud of uncertainty that hangs over marriage licenses in Kentucky" as clerk names are required by state law on the licenses.Davis took steps to remove her name and office from the forms after she was released and a deputy clerk has issued licenses since she was jailed in early September.Davis repeatedly urged then Governor Steve Beshear, a Democrat, to remove clerk names from the form or provide other relief so she would not violate religious beliefs.She has also appealed Bunning's orders to the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.

ATLANTA (Reuters) - A federal judge will hear a high-profile discrimination lawsuit brought by a former Atlanta fire chief who claims he was fired for his religious beliefs after publishing a book critical of homosexuality.City officials had sought the dismissal of the lawsuit, filed by Kelvin Cochran in a case that has been closely followed by conservative groups advocating religious freedom.U.S. District Judge Leigh May said in a ruling issued on Wednesday that Cochran's claims of religious discrimination are plausible and refused to dismiss the case.In a 2013 self-published book, "Who Told You That You Were Naked?," Cochran called homosexuality "vulgar" and "the opposite of purity."Cochran distributed about 20 copies of the book at work, and the city fired him early this year after employees complained to city council members, city attorney Robert N. Godfrey said.The book "runs completely afoul" of city anti-discrimination policies, Godfrey said at a court hearing in October.Cochran sued the city to regain his job, claiming violation of his First Amendments rights of free speech and religion."We look forward to proceeding with this case because of the injustice against Chief Cochran, one of the most accomplished fire chiefs in the nation, but also because the city’s actions place every city employee in jeopardy who may hold to a belief that city officials don’t like,” Kevin Theriot, Cochran's attorney, said in a statement.Theriot works for the Alliance Defending Freedom, a non-profit Christian advocacy group that says on its website the U.S. legal system has "been steadily moving against religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family."A city of Atlanta spokeswoman said the lawsuit was not about religious beliefs or the First Amendment."Rather, it is an employment matter involving an executive in charge of 1,129 firefighters and tasked to lead by example," said spokeswoman Anne Torres. "Instead of leadership, the former executive failed to follow his employer’s rules for outside employment."(Editing by Steve Orlofsky and Tom Brown)

Utah can block Planned Parenthood funds while suit proceeds-Associated Press By MICHELLE L. PRICE-DEC 22,15-YAHOONEWS

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A federal judge ruled Tuesday that Utah can cut off federal funds to the state's Planned Parenthood organization, a move the Republican governor ordered after the release of secretly recorded videos by an anti-abortion group.The ruling from U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups reversed an earlier decision temporarily ordering the money to keep flowing to the Planned Parenthood Association of Utah.His ruling allows Utah to cut off funds to Planned Parenthood while the organization still pursues its lawsuit against the state.Like Utah, other states have moved to cut funding to Planned Parenthood chapters. The organization has filed lawsuits in Arkansas, Alabama and Louisiana to block them from stripping contracts and federal money distributed by the states.The Planned Parenthood Association of Utah sued the state in October, arguing Gov. Gary Herbert's move to block the money violated its First Amendment right to advocate for or perform abortions.Herbert stopped about $275,000 in federal funds for sexually transmitted disease testing and sex education programs. His move followed the release of the undercover videos by a California anti-abortion group. The activists claim the videos show Planned Parenthood officials in Texas and other states discussing fetal tissue from abortions.Planned Parenthood in Utah argued Herbert was acting in response to unproven allegations that the officials illegally sold fetal tissue from abortions for medical research.Even though the Utah group has not engaged in wrongdoing, it is affiliated with other Planned Parenthood entities "that have allegedly engaged in illegal conduct," Waddoups said in his ruling.The judge said Utah's government has an interest "in avoiding the appearance of corruption," and any harm from ending the contracts is outweighed by the risk to the state if it's denied its right to end contracts at will.Allowing the contracts to continue, Waddoups said, could reasonably be perceived by Utah citizens as approval of wrongful conduct.Karrie Galloway, CEO of Planned Parenthood Association of Utah, called the judge's ruling "regrettable," and said the organization is working to figure out its next steps. She said in a statement that Planned Parenthood will keep pursing the lawsuit against the state.Utah Department of Health spokesman Tom Hudachko said the contracts with Planned Parenthood will remain in place through 2015.In a statement Tuesday, Herbert said he appreciated the judge's ruling and that it recognized his power to make contract decisions on Utah's behalf.Herbert said he will work with the state's health department and others to ensure that residents still have access to the STD and sex education services.Herbert has said he was offended by the callousness of the discussion shown on the videos.Planned Parenthood has said it only recouped expenses for providing tissue to researchers, and the videos were heavily edited. The organization later said it would no longer accept any sort of payment to cover the costs of those programs, which it says only takes place in California and Washington.The videos spawned multiple investigations in Congress and several states but none has shown Planned Parenthood broke any law.Attorneys for Planned Parenthood in Utah argued that stopping the money for STD and sex education programs would leave thousands of people at risk. State officials cited the same concerns in emails in the weeks before and after Herbert moved to block the money.Utah's move to cut off funding followed similar moves against Planned Parenthood chapters in other states.Helene Krasnoff, senior director for litigation and law with Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said the Utah ruling is "a bit of an outlier," as judges in all other Planned Parenthood lawsuits this year have ruled in the organization's favor.In other states, officials have blocked Medicaid money. Utah hasn't touched that money, though the governor and attorney general's office have not explained why.Krasnoff said that while the legal dispute in Utah focuses on constitutional issues rather than Medicaid law, Hebert's action is as politically motived as moves by other GOP governors and will likewise harm women's health.In Utah, the federal funding is a small portion of the local organization's $8 million budget. It also receives money through federal contracts, fees from clients, insurance and contributions.___Associated Press writer Lindsay Whitehurst contributed to this report.

Virginia to stop honoring 25 states' concealed-carry gun permits-Reuters By Ian Simpson-DEC 22,15-YAHOONEWS

(Reuters) - Virginia will no longer recognize concealed-carry handgun permits from 25 states that have reciprocity agreements with the state, effective Feb. 1, Attorney General Mark Herring said on Tuesday. Virginia took the step because laws in those states are less restrictive, Herring's office said in a statement.The change prevents people convicted of a felony, domestic abusers, those adjudicated mentally ill or incompetent, recently convicted drunk drivers and dishonorably discharged military personnel from using a permit from those states in Virginia.The state is the site of worst mass shooting in U.S. history, a 2007 rampage at Virginia Tech University in which 32 people were killed.The change came after a review by Herring's office and the Virginia State Police of the 30 states whose concealed handgun permits are valid in Virginia under a reciprocity policy.Virginia will continue to recognize concealed-carry permits from Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and West Virginia.Concealed permit rules approved by Virginia lawmakers "should not be undermined by wrongly recognizing permits from other states with more permissive standards," said Herring, a Democrat.Governor Terry McAuliffe, also a Democrat, has vowed to tighten gun laws but has been thwarted by the Republican-controlled legislature.Chris Cox, executive director of the Institute for Legislative Action at the National Rifle Association, the Virginia-based gun lobby, said permit holders were among the safest groups of people in the United States."Plain and simple, this is putting politics above public safety. This decision is both dangerous and shameful," he said in an emailed statement.(Reporting by Ian Simpson; Editing by Richard Chang)

Woman charged with murder, hit-and-run in Vegas Strip crash-Associated Press By KEN RITTER-DEC 22,15-YAHOONEWS

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Prosecutors on Tuesday charged a homeless woman with murder, child abuse and hit-and-run after police said she intentionally plowed a car carrying her young daughter through crowds of pedestrians on the Las Vegas Strip.Additional charges were expected against Lakeisha Nicole Holloway, 24, as investigators interview witnesses and review video and physical evidence from the Sunday night crash." This is an ongoing investigation," said Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson, who earlier predicted "a great number" of charges would be filed. "I've personally seen the videos from a variety of angles, and I'm appalled at the callousness of this defendant's conduct and what appears to be an intentional act."Casino and street surveillance video cited by the prosecutor has not been made public, and Wolfson said prosecutors don't plan to present it in court Wednesday, when Holloway is expected to make her first appearance before a judge.Authorities say Holloway repeatedly swerved onto a sidewalk packed with tourists in front of the Paris Las Vegas and Planet Hollywood casino-hotels. A modest, makeshift memorial stood at the site on Tuesday.Joseph Abood, one of Holloway's public defense attorneys, said his client plans to plead not guilty."We can all agree this is a shocking and tragic event," Abood said. "We have great sympathy for the family of Jessica Valenzuela and all the other people who were injured."Valenzuela, 32, of Buckeye, Arizona, was killed and at least 35 people from California, Colorado, Florida, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington state, Mexico and Quebec, Canada, were injured.Three were still in critical condition and five others remained hospitalized.Holloway was on suicide watch in jail, where she is being held without bail. Abood said he and another public defender, Scott Coffee, were collecting information and didn't know whether Holloway's mental health would emerge as a defense.Holloway was charged with felony child abuse and neglect because police say her 3-year-old daughter was with her in the vehicle. The child wasn't hurt and was in the custody of the county's child protective services agency.County spokesman Erik Pappa said the agency tries to place children with relatives before seeking a foster family. He said he couldn't provide further information about the case.A motive for the crash was unclear, but a picture was emerging of a woman who overcame a rough childhood and homelessness to become an award-winning high school graduate and caring mother — only to have things go terribly awry. Holloway previously lived in Oregon, where she changed her name in October to Paris Paradise Morton, according to court records. Several years ago, she graduated from an alternative high school in Portland and received an award for overcoming adversity from the nonprofit Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center, which helps at-risk youths with education and job training.In a 2012 video produced by the group, Holloway spoke about overcoming homelessness in high school, going to college and entering the workforce."Today I'm not the same scared girl I used to be," she said in the video. "I'm a mature young woman."After her arrest Sunday, she told investigators she was homeless and out of money, and sleeping in her car in casino parking garages. She said she was getting little rest because casino security would run her off. She might have been on her way to Texas to find the estranged father of her daughter, authorities said."She ended up on the Strip, 'a place she did not want to be,'" a police report quoted her as saying. "She would not explain why she drove onto the sidewalk but remembered a body bouncing off her windshield, breaking it."People jumped on the car and banged on its windows, as Holloway kept driving, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said. She went about a mile with a broken windshield and a flattened tire before pulling into an off-Strip hotel and telling a valet to call 911, authorities said.Holloway showed no resistance when police arrived, and she spoke coherently about what happened, the sheriff said. A police drug-recognition expert said it appeared she wasn't drunk but may have been under the influence of a stimulant.__Associated Press writers Jacques Billeaud in Phoenix, Gosia Wozniacka and Steven DuBois in Portland, Oregon, and Kimberly Pierceall and Brian Skoloff in Las Vegas contributed to this report.

Little known about mother who lived with California shooter-Associated Press By AMY TAXIN- DEC 22,15-YAHOONEWS

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — When Rafia Sultana Farook needed help, she often turned to her younger son, a quiet and devout Muslim who the FBI says began veering toward radical ideology while living under her roof.After filing for divorce and claiming she was abused, Farook relied on Syed Rizwan Farook to help supervise visits between her then-husband and the couple's teenage daughter. When she left her billing job at a California hospital, Rizwan helped her cover expenses.And when she sold the family's five-bedroom house in Riverside this year, her son welcomed her into the townhome where he lived with his Pakistani bride, Tashfeen Malik, and their newborn daughter in nearby Redlands.On the morning of Dec. 2, the 28-year-old Rizwan and his wife, 29, left their daughter with his mother, telling her they had a medical appointment, the Farook family's attorneys said. About 11 a.m., they burst into a holiday luncheon attended by many of Rizwan's co-workers in the San Bernardino County public health department and opened fire.They killed 14 people and hours later were shot to death by police. The FBI has labeled it a terrorist attack, the deadliest by Islamic extremists on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001.Since the attack, Rafia Farook, 62, has emerged as an obscure figure; someone apparently close to her son, yet according to family attorneys unaware of his plans or that he had been amassing materials that could be turned into bombs.In the hours that followed the attack, Rafia Farook was detained for questioning and released by authorities. They have not linked her to the attacks.She declined to speak with The Associated Press when reached by telephone last week.Farook and her husband, also named Syed, were born in Pakistan, and married on New Year's Day 1982. The couple had two daughters and two sons and lived in Illinois before moving to California and buying a single-family home in Riverside.Unemployed, the pair filed for bankruptcy in 2002. The next year, Rafia, who had completed two years of college, got a part-time job as a clerk for Kaiser Permanente, earning $16 an hour. She eventually became a full-time biller, earning $23 an hour before leaving in 2013, family court records show.In 2006, Farook sought a divorce and obtained a restraining order against her husband, claiming he was a drunk and tried to hit her in front of their children. At her request, the court named 19-year-old Rizwan to supervise visits between his father and younger sister, the records show.In 2008, Farook legally separated from her husband. They were granted a divorce earlier this year.In her Riverside neighborhood, residents said Farook kept mostly to herself. Her elder son, who served in the Navy, was more outgoing, while Rizwan spent his time working on cars.According to an FBI affidavit, Rizwan befriended next-door neighbor Enrique Marquez and introduced him to Islam. Marquez, 24, is charged with providing guns used in the attack and plotting an earlier terror attack with Rizwan. He was in court Monday and ordered held.Immigration records show Rizwan told officials in a letter that he had planned to make a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in 2013 with his parents and had arranged for his family to meet the relatives of his intended Pakistani bride.His letter was released Tuesday by the House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating the issuance of the visa.Former neighbor Rosie Aguirre said Rafia was seen mostly shuttling to and from work, except when she sometimes donned glittering dresses and headscarves on weekends.While Rizwan boasted of memorizing the Quran, Rafia apparently was less familiar with the sacred text. Last year, she took a two-month course for women called "Journey Through the Quran" given by the Islamic Circle of North America, a Muslim educational and outreach organization.The course is offered annually for those less familiar with the Quran, said Waqas Syed, ICNA's deputy secretary general. "This is an attempt to get them interested in actually learning what is in the Quran," he said.After leaving Kaiser, Farook sold her house for $290,000 and moved in with Rizwan, who worked as an environmental health inspector."She had been downsized, and retired, so she needed to cut her expenses," said Linda Holmes, her real estate agent.Rafia was placed on an addendum to the lease for the townhome in Redlands but her son was footing the monthly $1,200 bill, said landlady Judy Miller, who recalled speaking with her once during a visit to the home."She was there with the baby, and was just very, very nice," Miller said. Shortly after the attacks, David Chesley, a lawyer for the Farook family, said Rafia had never seen anything to suggest her son and daughter-in-law were planning a massacre or building explosives. She spent the first several days after the attack crying, he said.Since then, she has said nothing publicly and has largely kept out of sight, but returned to the townhome this weekend with family to retrieve some belongings. She also attended a court hearing this month to determine who will take custody of her orphaned granddaughterIt won't be her — the family's lawyers have said Rafia's older daughter is seeking custody.___Associated Press writers Christine Armario, Brian Melley and Michael R.

San Bernardino killer denied militancy in U.S. entry papers-Reuters By Mark Hosenball-DEC 22,15-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - San Bernardino shooter Tashfeen Malik denied having any militant sympathies or intentions when she was asked in an application form for a U.S. visa two years ago, documents described to Reuters on Tuesday showed.Information in the documents could bolster complaints of critics in Congress who said flaws in the immigration system meant Malik was not thoroughly investigated, but the papers also showed that statements by Malik and her husband and fellow shooter Syed Rizwan Farook, did not raise any alarms among authorities that they were potential Islamic State militants.U.S.-born Farook said they first met in person and became engaged during the October 2013 Haj pilgrimage to Mecca with their respective families, according to other documents released by a congressman on Tuesday.They showed precisely what Malik and Farook stated to immigration officials when Malik went to the United States in December 2013, two years before their deadly shooting rampage in California that killed 14 people and wounded 21 at a municipal holiday party.In one part of Malik's immigration file, described to Reuters by congressional sources, Malik answered "no" to questions about her background and activities, including whether she had ever used or sold weapons or engaged in "terrorist activity."The questions were included as part of a permanent residence application, a Form I-485 used by the Department of Homeland Security's immigration unit. The process began in January 2014 and it was approved on July 27 the same year.Officials familiar with the investigation have said that it was discovered after the Dec. 2 shootings that Malik began sending private messages by social media expressing sympathy for Islamist militancy before her U.S. visa was granted. Farook, 28, and Malik, 29, parents of a six-month-old child, were killed in a shootout with police after their attack.Malik's initial visa application, posted on the Internet by U.S. Representative Bob Goodlatte on Tuesday, was part of a form Malik submitted to U.S. authorities to obtain a K-1 visa allowing her to enter the country as Farook's fiancee. According to an accompanying statement Farook filed, the couple met through an online website and decided to meet in person, along with their families, during the October 2013 Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca.In the application Malik said the couple first met over the Internet on a "a matrimonial website."Goodlatte, head of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a statement that the record alone was not strong enough to establish that Farook and Malik had met in person before seeking the fiancee visa. In a statement, Goodlatte indicated there were questions about dates of entry to Saudi Arabia and other aspects of the application that should have raised questions with immigration authorities."Visa security is critical to national security, and it’s unacceptable that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services did not fully vet Malik’s application and instead sloppily approved her visa," Goodlatte said.ENGAGEMENT IN SAUDI ARABIA-The administration of President Barack Obama has not made the documents public. The initial visa application released by Goodlatte includes a two-paragraph narrative "Intention to Marry Statement" in which Farook describes how he, a U.S. native, and Malik, a native of Pakistan, first met in 2013."My fiancée and I met thru an online website," Farook wrote. "After several weeks of emailing, we decided to meet each other.""My fiancee’s parents reside in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and she was visiting them during the month of October (2013). During the same month, my parents and I decided to perform the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca Saudi Arabia."We decided to have both of our families meet on Thursday October 3, 2013 at the house of my fiancee’s relative who lives not too far from the Ajyad Hotel in Mecca. My fiancee and her family drove from Riyadh to Mecca so we could meet and it is on this day that we got engaged,” Farook added.To support this narrative, Farook told U.S. authorities that he had included a copy of his Haj visa to show that he was in Saudi Arabia in October 2013 and that he also included copies of his fiancee’s passport pages to show she was also there that month."My fiancee and I intend to marry within the first month of her arriving in the United states," Farook's statement said.The file, described to Reuters but not made public by Goodlatte, contains a marriage license issued to Farook and Malik in Riverside, California, dated Sept. 8, 2014.Reuters reported last week that U.S. consular authorities in Pakistan could have sought, but did not seek, a more thorough background investigation of Malik before granting her an initial visa to enter the United States as Farook's fiancee.Also in the material made available to Reuters was a standard questionnaire completed by Malik, which asked her numerous potentially revealing questions about her background and intentions. Asked what organizations she belonged to, Malik replied, "none."Malik also answered "no" on the form when asked if she had ever belonged to a military unit or rebel or vigilante group, or whether she had ever used or sold weapons, and whether she had ever undergone paramilitary training. Altogether, Malik answered "no" to more than a dozen additional questions about her background, including whether she sought to overthrow the U.S. government.(Reporting by Mark Hosenball; additional reporting by Idrees Ali; editing by David Greising, Howard Goller and Grant McCool)

Mall of America seeks order blocking planned Black Lives Matter protest-Reuters-December 21, 2015 6:33 PM-YAHOONEWS

MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - The Mall of America on Monday asked a judge to block a protest planned for Wednesday afternoon by the group Black Lives Matter Minneapolis over the fatal shooting of an African-American man by a Minneapolis police officer in November.The group said the protest would go on at the suburban Minneapolis mall regardless of the lawsuit. Hennepin County Judge Karen Janisch took the issue under advisement after a hearing and said she would rule quickly on the request.Up to 1,500 demonstrators clogged the mall last December, with several dozen arrested, in a protest over the deaths of black men in police-involved incidents in New York and Missouri.An attorney for the mall, Susan Gaertner, told the judge the privately held retail center was not a place for a protest."You demonstrate in places like this, in a courthouse," Gaertner told reporters afterward. "Mall of America on Wednesday is a place to take your kids to shop."The mall lawsuit names the group Black Lives Matter and four people as defendants. It asks the judge to bar a demonstration without mall permission, and to require Black Lives Matter to remove social media posts supporting the protest and post notices that it is canceled.Attorney Jordan Kushner, who represents the named individual defendants, told the judge the mall could be free to tell people to stay away, but not what they may or may not say.The mall has not established that the individual defendants organized the protest or control what appears on Black Lives Matter social media, Kushner added."We are here for Black Lives, no matter what," Kandace Montgomery, a named defendant, said before the hearing.Black Lives Matter has organized demonstrations since a Minneapolis police officer shot Jamar Clark, 24, on Nov. 15. The shooting of Clark, who died the next day, added fuel to a heated debate in the United States over police use of lethal force, especially against black people.Demonstrators camped outside a Minneapolis police station for nearly three weeks after Clark's shooting and planned Wednesday's protest to demand release of videos from that night.Demonstrators also want a special prosecutor to hear the case and want to bypass a grand jury, which some see as part of a process that exonerates officers.(Reporting by David Bailey in Minneapolis; Editing by Dan Grebler)

Chicago protesters call for mayor to step down over police brutality-Reuters By Mary Wisniewski and Justin Madden-December 18, 2015 6:39 PM-YAHOONEWS

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Several hundred protesters marched through downtown Chicago on Friday evening, calling on Mayor Rahm Emanuel to step down over complaints of abusive policing and a lack of accountability in the police department.The protesters chanted "No justice, no peace" and wore T-shirts reading "Jail Rahm Now." It was the latest in a wave of peaceful and mostly small protests in Chicago set off by the release of a video of a white police officer shooting dead 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who was black, in October 2014.Emanuel, a Democrat with strong White House ties who was elected to a second term this year, and State's Attorney Anita Alvarez have been the target of protests because of the year-long delay in bringing charges against the officer in the video, Jason Van Dyke, who faces trial for murder.Chicago is the latest U.S. city to see demonstrations over the deaths of young black men at the hands of police, many of them caught on video.Chicago police killed an average of 17 people a year over the last seven years, most of them African American, and it is extremely unusual for police officers to face charges or be disciplined in such cases. It was not until uproar over the video of McDonald being shot 16 times as he apparently walked away from the police that the federal Department of Justice launched an investigation of civil rights issues in the city's police department."There needs to be accountability for the injustices happening throughout the Chicago Police Department and our justice system," said Maria Moser, a resident of the south-side suburb of Beverly, who attended the march with her brother.Earlier on Friday Van Dyke's defense attorney said he would seek a change of venue for the officer's trial. He has been indicted by a grand jury on six counts of first-degree murder and one charge of misconduct.Van Dyke, 37, is free on bail but was in court with his lawyer Daniel Herbert for a very brief hearing following the indictment. Cook County Circuit Judge James Brown set an arraignment for Dec. 29, when Van Dyke is expected to enter a plea.A small group of protesters shouted insults at Van Dyke as he left the court house.Herbert told reporters he wants the trial moved to a county "outside the reach" of Mayor Emanuel's comments. "He has essentially told everyone in the public, in the City Council, that my client actually murdered Mr. McDonald, that he's a bad apple." Emanuel's office did not respond to a request for comment. The mayor is not expected to heed calls for him to leave office.(Reporting by Mary Wisniewski and Justin Madden; writing by Fiona Ortiz, editing by Suzannah Gonzales and Dan Grebler)

Japan says armed Chinese vessel spotted off disputed islands-Associated Press-DEC 22,15-YAHOONEWS

TOKYO (AP) — Japan said it spotted for the first time Tuesday an armed Chinese coast guard ship near islands at the center of a long-running territorial dispute between the two Asian giants.Chinese ships regularly sail around the uninhabited islands, known as the Senkaku in Japanese and the Diaoyu in Chinese, but a Japanese coast guard spokesman said an armed Chinese coast guard vessel had never been sighted before in the area."We don't know China's intentions, but our response will remain unchanged, and we'll act calmly and decisively for Japan's safety," said Yosuke Watanuki, a spokesman for the regional unit covering Japan's remote southern islands.The incident is likely to fuel concern in Japan that China may be slowly escalating its activities in the East China Sea. Last month, a Chinese navy ship took its time traversing the waters, attracting Japan's attention. Japan also went public earlier this year with complaints about Chinese oil and gas exploration in the East China Sea, posting photos online of Chinese drilling rigs and other equipment.The Japanese coast guard released a photo of the armed ship sailing in the East China Sea on Tuesday. It was one of four Chinese coast guard vessels spotted in the waters, but was the only one that was armed. They did not come close enough to the islands to violate what Japan considers its territorial waters.Calls to China's coast guard were not answered.

Dengue fever spreads around the world-AFP By Olivier Thibault-DEC 22,15-YAHOONEWS

Paris (AFP) - Dengue fever, the world's fastest growing mosquito-borne disease, has spread its wings and morphed from a tropical disease endemic in just nine countries to worldwide threat.Globalisation, urbanisation, climate change and jet travel have enabled it to move into more temperate zones.Following are some basic facts:- What is dengue fever ? -Dengue fever is a flu-like infection caused by the flavivirus; it is in the same family as yellow fever.Dengue fever has four separate strains -- DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3 and DEN-4. Once cured, patients are protected for life, but only against the strain they were stricken by.- How is the virus transmitted ? -Dengue is transmitted by several subspecies of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which originate in Africa but which are now present in all tropical and subtropical areas.- The symptoms -Dengue can trigger a crippling fever along with headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle and joint pain, and skin rashes similar to measles.- The most severe form -The most severe form of the disease, dengue haemorrhagic fever, accounts for one percent of cases, killing 22,000 people a year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) says. It results in bleeding and blood plasma leakage. It can be particularly fatal among children.- How many cases ? -The number of dengue cases has risen 30-fold over the last 50 years, according to the WHO, making it the world's fastest-growing mosquito-borne disease and leaving more than half of the global population at risk.The WHO says that half a million people are hospitalised by the illness every year, many of them children; of that number, roughly 2.5 percent die.- Treatment and vaccination -There is currently no specific treatment for dengue fever.The world's first-ever dengue vaccine, Dengvaxia, manufactured by French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi, secured its first regulatory approval in Mexico on December 9.The Philippines became the first Asian country on Tuesday December 22 to approve the sale of the vaccine. Other pharmaceutical companies are developing dengue vaccines, including US firm Merck, Japan's Takeda and Britain's GlaxoSmithKline.
