Russia objects foreign military intervention in Libya
Foreign military intervention in Libya is inadmissible in any form, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. French President Nicolas Sarkozy has said France and Britain are ready to launch "targeted air strikes" on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's forces if they use chemical weapons or warplanes against civilians. "Foreign military intervention should be ruled out," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.  

Arab League calls for Libya no-fly zone
The Arab League on Saturday called on the UN Security Council to impose a no-fly zone on Libya, Egyptian state television reported, a decision that would give a regional seal of approval that NATO has said is needed for any military action. The state television also said the Arab League had decided to open channels of communication with a Libyan rebel council based in Benghazi. The League said the council represented the Libyan people, the channel reported.

Roughly 9,500 living in the town along the Pacific coast in the Miyagi prefecture are unaccounted for, according to Japan's Kyodo New Agency.

Wildfires burning across Oklahoma prompt emergency declaration
Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin today declared a State of Emergency for all 77 Oklahoma counties as more than two dozen wildfires spread across the state, causing evacuations. "Our thoughts and prayers are with all Oklahomans who have been impacted by these fires as well as our emergency responders in harms' way," Fallin said. "We know homes, as well as other property, have been lost and we will work to do everything we can to help Oklahomans during their time of need."  

TSA to retest airport body scanners for radiation
The Transportation Security Administration announced Friday that it would retest every full-body X-ray scanner that emits ionizing radiation — 247 machines at 38 airports — after maintenance records on some of the devices showed radiation levels 10 times higher than expected. The TSA says that the records reflect math mistakes and that all the machines are safe.  

Quake moved Japan coast 8 feet; shifted Earth's axis
The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis. "At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass," said Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).  

Palestinian 'kills five Israelis' in West Bank attack

James Clapper, the US Director of National Intelligence, made the comments in testimony to the US Senate. From Canada and Britain, France and South Korea, there have been growing reports of online attacks on computer networks around the world.  

EU ups Libya sanctions; decides against air strikes
European Union leaders agreed on Friday to consider all options to try to force Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to step down, but stopped short of endorsing air strikes, a no-fly zone or other military-backed means. The 27 EU leaders, meeting in Brussels, also gave encouragement to the rebel administration based in Benghazi, endorsing the Libyan National Council as "a political interlocutor" that was "sufficiently reliable to work with".  

US sending aircraft carrier to provide aid to Japan
US President Barack Obama said that the hearts of the US people "go out to our friends in Japan and across the region," saying that the US will help them rebuild, in a press conference Friday. He added that in a telephone conversation earlier Friday, that he told Japanese Prime Minister Naota Kan that the United States stands ready to offer whatever help the country needs to cope with a massive earthquake.  

Japanese tsunami death toll 'at least 1,300'
A devastating tsunami triggered by the biggest earthquake on record in Japan killed at least 1,300 people along the northeastern coast on Friday after a wall of water swept away everything in its path, Japanese media reported.

Three others that were more powerful since the late 1800s when seismometers started measuring ground motions were in 9.5 in Chile in 1960, 9.2 in Alaska in 1964 and 9.1 in Sumatra in 2004, according to Fryer.

"We are looking into the cause and the situation and we'll make that public when we have further information," Edano said. "At present, we think 10 km evacuation is appropriate."

BlogIts : "The Demo" A review of the New Formats and "the Vine" News of the Networked Blogs for 3/12/2011

 

Christian Issue and Answers

<Blog IT updates>

Saturday March 12th 2011

 

Slowly the "the Vine" a network of blogs; has been developing to present some of the best in Christian Materials for Study and Consideration.

As most sites have a "click it and see" philosophy; "the Vine" is always what you see is what you get. There are no ads or secret counters. No pop ups and no hidden agendas or sign ups. We try to purge those from contributing sites and if you go to them, they and you can participate in that.

We just want you to have the Word of God and the People of God as you seek Jesus.

In doing this, because ministries do want your participation with them; sometimes they change thier format and style so like all free minsitries, it takes time to adapt. If you notice 'odd sized" graphics or one of our network locations jumbled; try another site location. We have for every post 5 separate formatted locations so every browser and digital device can access at least one of them; 1) Blooger (google) 2) Posterous 3) WordPress 4) Tumblr 5) Live Journal. With these 5 and we do hope to add two others, we want to have as diverse as multi-media sites and simple pict and text sites of the Wisdom of God that the Men and Women of God featured are brought to you as effectively as possible. Not only to enjoy, but learn of Jesus. That IS my hope.

I pray you might visit the Ministries, Ministers, and People featured that they might hear from you and if you choose; so support what they do how they do as they serve God. That is between You, God and them. We do not receive or give renumeration for anything posted.

"Freely we received; Free we give. If it costs we aren't doing it"

 

FORMATS

 Slowly as you see at the bottom of this post; we are bring a standardized format to "the Vine" of Networked Blogs. Generally it appears like this:

 

Subject Header

Topic/ministry header

Topic material

Closing Header

Alternative site locations

This I hope to address our International readers and local Pod and smart phone apps readership. The Web is a wonderful resource if we know to use it. We address that in "the Vine" of Networked Blogs through these Topical posts present weekly/some daily:

1) Devotionals

2) Prophecy

3) Bible Studies

4) Videos

6) Christian Issues

7)Jewish Studies

8) News

 

At this time, postings are Mon-Fri till more is accomplished. There are concurrent series in each of these topics on going as worldwide there are people using the materials, gradually the posts are getting scheduled better and being assigned times and will have a regular time soon. Saturdays IT will be posted with those soon.

The goal 5 years ago was to have this Network of Blogs up and running by January 2012. 

At 65% of development, (smile) we are getting there, I think we're on schedule, but frankly thats up to God (grin).

May God Bless you

He has me so I hope so for you.
