Fiji Government Rejects Proposal for Assisted Suicide Clinic

Fiji?s government has turned down a proposal by an Australian euthanasia advocate to set up an assisted suicide clinic there. Dr Nischke previously said the clinic could a considerable source of revenue for Fiji if it went ahead. The government says the proposal was never seriously considered. Fiji?s Methodist Church has welcomed the decision. The church?s deputy general-secretary, the Reverend Tevita Banivanua, says Fijian Christians would never have supported it. ?We agree with the government, that they have taken the right steps,? he said. ?Maybe we are not like people in Europe that have given freedom for ending life in that way.?

In rebel-held 'Free Syria,' regime planes still terrorize

The mood was triumphant today as Al-Bab residents emptied from mosques and marched to the city's Freedom Square to call for the end of President Bashar al-Assad's regime. Children waved an oversized Syrian flag, an activist rallied the crowd with a microphone, and several protesters broke into small dance circles.

For a brief time, an end to the war felt almost imminent in this city residents now describe as part of ?Free Syria."

Since late July, Al-Bab has been part of a small region of Syria that?s managed to break free from the control of Mr. Assad and his Army. Situated about 25 miles northeast of Aleppo and the frontlines of the civil war, the city is deep inside opposition-controlled territory where there are no traces of the regime or the Army.

The crowd's moment of triumph, however, was short-lived.

Over the shouts and songs, demonstrators heard the sound of a Syrian jet approaching. As the crowd scattered, the jet circled, went into a dive, and released a bomb where the demonstration had been just moments ago. In the hour that followed, it strafed the city as members of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) fired back with heavy machines unlikely to down the plane.

When the jet finally disappeared into the cloud cover, it left behind seven people dead and dozens injured, according to FSA officials. Shopkeepers returned to the few stores that had yet to indefinitely close for business and the city reluctantly returned to what?s left of normal life.

Bombings and jet attacks have become a regular occurrence in towns like Al-Bab that are well inside FSA-controlled parts of Syria. Even if opposition forces say they feel strong enough to hold the cities in the face of Assad?s ground forces, they say it?s impossible to create any safe or truly independent areas as long as the Syrian government has jets and artillery. Incidents like today's illustrate why they are demanding a no-fly zone in Syria.

?When the jets come we don't know what to do,? says an FSA fighter who, like most opposition supporters in Al-Bab, asked for security reasons to be referred to only by his nickname, Abu Abdu.

Few residents fear the return of the Assad Army, but the persistent bombing has forced many into exile. Others have shuttered their business or lost their jobs because of the constant threat of the Assad regime?s Air Force.

Among the international community, France has aggressively called for a no-fly zone over Syria, and the US and Turkey have also discussed the possibility, but no action has been taken. Russia and China are expected to veto any such measures if brought before the United Nations Security Council.

Turkey has led the lobbying for the creation of a safe zone along the border where refugees could be protected without fleeing to neighboring countries. A no-fly zone would likely be required to create such an area.

RELATED ? Why no safe zone in Syria, yet? Five complications

The FSA lacks anti-air weapons and has little recourse against the Syrian regime planes and helicopters, aside from heavy machine guns, which are largely inadequate as anti-air weapons.

?The FSA cannot protect us against the airplanes because they have only small weapons,? says Abu Mohammad, a resident of Al-Bab, who owns a mobile phone shop that he shuttered due to ongoing insecurity. ?We are very scared when the planes come but after they leave we try to go back to our normal life, but there are no jobs because many of the shops and businesses have closed.?

About two months ago, the chicken farm where Abdul Karis worked went out of business after food shortages forced them to eat all the chickens.

?Now we are just sitting in the streets, there is no work, and the jets come here to attack us,? he says.

Amid the uncertainty, opposition groups have worked to establish a temporary government to bring some modicum of order to the city. Volunteers run everything from the local courthouse to the local hospital, but living under the constant threat of bombardment, they often struggle to provide services for the population, especially the hospital, which doctors say has been targeted by aerial attacks.

?They bombed our hospital so many times we had to move it to a secret location in a new building,? says Abu Adeb, a doctor in Al-Bab. He adds that the hospital also faces a shortage of critical medicines like antibiotics.

Still, many residents say that while the bombings remain a regular source of terror, the attacks have only strengthened their resolve to continue resisting the Assad government. Shortly after jets bombed today's demonstration, a small group of activists gathered on a hill overlooking the city, chanting antiregime slogans.

?Every time we are bombed, it increases our confidence," says Mahmoud Akel, a volunteer judge in the opposition?s transitional government. "It makes us want to work harder to destroy this regime.?

'China Copper consumption to expand at slowest pace in 15 yrs'

China's copper consumption may climb 5% to touch 7.7 mn metric tons as power industry demand expands.

Yang Changhua, who's studied the market for more than a decade, said in a phone interview from Beijing to Bloomberg News. "It could turn out to be even lower, and we're not optimistic about next year,"

This waning demand scenario has made copper mining companies like BHP Billiton and others to cut back on production eventhough they are long on copper for the long term.

"The long term copper outlook remains positive," Harding--Chief of Rio Tinto-- told reporters at Rio's 55,000 tons per year Northparkes copper mine in western New South Wales and was quoted by Reuters.

Meanwhile, the largest rival of Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, the mining giant has shelved three multi billion expansion projects recently to accommodate dampened momentum in prices.

The company is investigating an alternative, less capital-intensive design of the Olympic Dam open-pit expansion, involving new technologies, to substantially improve the economics of the project.

"However, the long term outlook for the copper market remains strong and we will continue to work closely with all stakeholders as we refine our longer term development plans for this unique, world class ore body. We want to find the right solution to unlock this resource,? he said.

On the other hand, the Chinese economy is targeted to grow 7.5 percent this year.

Meanwhile, MCX Copper may trade sideways between 421-427 ongoing week on weaker Euro and over debate on EU rescue fund and stimulus hopes from US.

?Copper have important support at 419 and resistance at 427.?, said Amrita Mashar, Manager Research, Commodity Online.

Base metal prices traded steady on mixed economic outlook eyeing Central Bankers? meet on Friday. Positive US economic data kept momentum in prices move zigzag way in the morning session.

Canada orders US soldier who fled war deported

By CHARMAINE NORONHA
Associated Press

TORONTO (AP) - Canada has ordered the deportation of a female soldier who fled the U.S. military in order to avoid the war in Iraq, officials said Thursday.

War Resisters Support Campaign spokeswoman Michelle Robidoux said that Citizenship and Immigration Canada has ordered Kimberly Rivera to leave the country by Sept. 20.

Rivera is meeting with her lawyers to determine her next step and was unavailable to comment, said Robidoux.

"We are very upset about this decision," said Robidoux. "The cases of war resisters are not being looked at properly. (Immigration Minister Jason) Kenney continues to intervene by telling immigration officers to red flag US soldiers who are applying for asylum as criminally inadmissible. We think that has tainted the whole process and the government should withdraw that directive."

Robidoux said they will likely call on Kenney to grant the family humanitarian and compassionate consideration and allow them to stay.

"Canada's immigration system is considered among the most fair and generous in the world. It is a matter of public record that Ms. Rivera has had multiple opportunities to make her case to stay in Canada," said Kenney's spokeswoman, Alexis Pavlich.

Rivera, a 30-year-old Army private, served in Iraq in 2006. She said she became disillusioned with the mission. She crossed the border into Canada while on leave in February 2007, after she was ordered to serve another tour there.

After arriving in Canada on leave, she applied for refugee status.

She currently lives in Toronto with her husband and four children. Her two youngest children were born in Canada.

In January of 2009, Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board ordered her and her family to leave the country or face deportation. Rivera appealed that decision.

Rivera's lawyer, Alyssa Manning, has argued in Canada's federal court that her client would likely face a court martial and jail time, possibly up to five years, if she is deported.

The War Resisters Support Campaign, which notes that there are approximately 200 Iraq war resisters in Canada, said two other Iraq war resisters who were deported, Robin Long and Clifford Cornell, faced year-long jail sentences upon their return.

Long was given a dishonorable discharge in 2008 and sentenced to 15 months in a military prison after pleading guilty to charges of desertion.

The lower house of Canada's Parliament passed a nonbinding motion in 2009 urging that U.S. military deserters be allowed to stay in Canada, but the Conservative government ignored the vote.

During the Vietnam War, up to 90,000 Americans won refuge in Canada, most of them to avoid the military draft. Many were given permanent residence status that led to Canadian citizenship, but the majority went home after President Jimmy Carter granted amnesty in the late 1970s.

Pregnancy duration predicts stress response in the first months of life

ScienceDaily (Aug. 28, 2012) ? After waking up, the concentration of the stress hormone cortisol in saliva rises considerably; this is true not only for grown-ups but for babies as well. A research team from the Ruhr-Universit?t Bochum and from Basel has reported this finding in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology.

"This gives us a new, non-invasive and uncomplicated possibility to already research the activity of the stress system during infancy," Prof. Dr. Gunther Meinlschmidt, of the Clinic of Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy at the LWL University Hospital of the RUB, said.

The information not only open doors to the pursuit of as-yet unresolved research inquiries, but could also be used in the future to diagnose illnesses in the hormone-producing organs, such as the adrenal gland, of infants.

Testing stress hormones: easy with grown-ups, hard with babies

Scientists usually test the stress hormones of grown-ups by placing test subjects in an experiment under stress-inducing conditions. Since a similar practice is, for ethical reasons, unthinkable to use with babies, it is rather more difficult to find out how well-developed their stress systems are. The German-Swiss research team circumvented this problem by observing a naturally occurring "stress situation" -- waking up. The cortisol-concentration in grown-ups rises after they wake up, presumably to prepare the body for the requirements of the day. At what age this cortisol-reaction develops has long been unclear.

Cortisol levels rise in babies upon waking up

Data from 64 newborns and infants between the ages of three weeks and six months were used in the study. On two days the infants' parents had their children suck on a small cotton swab at home, once right after waking up and once half an hour later. Through this saliva, the scientists determined the cortisol-concentration. The cortisol amount rose considerably after the infants awoke in 63 % of cases. Neither the hour that the child woke up nor breastfeeding after waking played any role in these findings.

The shorter the pregnancy, the less the cortisol-level rises

Instead the length of the pregnancy had an effect. The earlier the children were born, the less their cortisol-levels rose after they woke up. "The stress hormone system may be less mature in babies who were born after a shorter pregnancy, which could have negative consequences," assistant professor Marion Tegethoff, of the Faculty for Psychology at the University of Basel, said. Since cortisol can inhibit the immune system, the lack of cortisol-level rises could lead to excess immunological responses, similarly to what occurs with allergies.

Approaching new research questions through saliva tests

Stress increases the risk for mental disorders and bodily illnesses. There is now a new method available to investigate the stress systems easily in babies. Prof. Meinlschmidt, head of the Research Department of Psychobiology, Psychosomatics, and Psychotherapy at the LWL University Hospital in Bochum explains future research questions: "In some rodents the hormonal stress response in the first weeks of life is, for a specific timeframe, close to shut down -- perhaps to protect organs that are developing during this time. It is still unknown if there is a comparable phase in humans, since it has long been impossible, because of ethical reasons, to repeatedly assess the hormonal stress reaction."

Twitter removes ability to see app user tweets with

4 hrs.

Devin Coldewey

An update to?Twitter Monday removed a minor but well-liked feature that let users see the app or service with which others were tweeting. It's the latest in a series of changes that are meant to emphasize the core Twitter experience.

At the bottom of many tweets, one would often see a subtle "via Tweetdeck" or "via Seesmic," indicating that a third-party app or site was in use. Some apps provided a clearer view of the user's followers and followed users. Others would allow a user to schedule tweets, automate attachments or link shortening, and other minor, helpful features.

Removing the "via" badge on Tweets does simplify the presentation slightly, but some users relied on it to tell whether a tweet was live or delayed, whether a person was mobile or at their computer, and other metadata valuable to power users.

As has happened before when Twitter pushes an unpopular update, the users are up in arms and #OccupyTwitter is the rallying cry. Recent changes have alienated developers and soured relations with competing and complementary services, driving many to support a less restrictive and ad-free (but not free to use) alternative called App.net?or otherwise protest Twitter's crackdown.

Given the steady rate at which Twitter has been announcing changes, it may not be too long?before another update?is announced. Stay tuned, and don't get too comfortable.

Spouses should be wary of any signs of domestic abuse | Clarksville ...

Experts agree, women and men should not tolerate an abusive spouse. This should be an important part of relationships throughout Tennessee, just in case a partner turns violent without any expectations. In many cases, acts of domestic violence are predictable and, if they occur, the victim should begin considering her or his options of moving on and away from the abuser.

Advocates against domestic violence are apparent in most areas throughout the country and high-profile cases of domestic abuse do occur. In 2009, singer Rihanna was allegedly accosted by her boyfriend at the time, Chris Brown. The star couple planned to head to the Grammy Awards where Rihanna was scheduled to perform. That performance was cancelled and later, images surfaced of her beaten. Those pictures were taken by the authorities.

Many people rallied behind the female singer when she chose to leave Brown, but in an upcoming interview, some former supporters may be persuaded to feel differently. According to reports, the interview with Oprah Winfrey will show Rihanna speaking about how she misses Brown from time to time and that he made a mistake and needed help.

Some advocates against domestic violence are worried about the potential effects this could have on those that are currently part of abusive relationships or may be in the future. Some people look to those in the spotlight-particularly at their words and actions-to determine what is right if they are stuck in a similar situation.

Regardless of how Rihanna is portrayed, she did leave her abuser and this action should speak louder than any words three years after the event. If you are being abused by your spouse, be sure to consider taking legal action to keep you safe. If any children are involved, authorities will be sure to take that into consideration. In some of these situations, the relationship ends in divorce and child custody is often given to the victim rather than the abuser.

Gas prices rise as refineries shut for Isaac

(AP Photo/Danny Johnston)

NEW YORK (AP) ? Pump prices are heading higher as Tropical Storm Isaac forces several major refineries along the Gulf Coast to halt production in preparation for high winds and heavy rains.

Fear of reduced gasoline supplies sent wholesale gasoline prices up 7.7 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $3.155 per gallon Monday. The average retail price for a gallon of gasoline in the U.S. rose to $3.75 on Monday, and it could pass $3.80 by Labor Day weekend, says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.

Oil fell Monday because Gulf Coast refineries won't be using as much in the next few days and damage to key oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico seemed less likely as the storm's winds aren't expected to be as strong as some had feared.

Refineries should also escape damage. But refinery owners often shut down operations in advance of a storm. These facilities consume enormous amounts of electric power and generate steam to cook crude oil into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and heating oil. If a refinery loses power suddenly, operators can't properly clear the partially cooked oil out of pipes, and re-starting the refinery can take several days or even weeks.

If refineries instead conduct what is known as an orderly shutdown, they can re-start as soon as the power supply is assured again. The Gulf refineries will likely stay off line for about three days.

About 1 million barrels per day of refining capacity is expected to be shut down, roughly half of the refining capacity in the potential path of the storm. The U.S. consumes about 19 million barrels of oil products per day.

Marathon Petroleum Corp. said it is shutting down its Garyville, La. refinery. The refinery has the capacity to refine 490,000 barrels of oil per day, making it the third largest refinery in the U.S. Phillips 66 is closing its 247,000 barrel per day refinery in Belle Chasse, La. Chevron Corp. is keeping its 330,000-barell per day Pascagoula, Miss. plant running as of Monday afternoon.

The National Hurricane Center now predicts Isaac will grow to a Category 1 hurricane instead of a Category 2. A Category 1 hurricane has winds ranging from 74 mph to 95 mph.

"The production centers in the Gulf can withstand those low-level hurricanes," said Gene McGillian, oil analyst for Tradition Energy.

About one-quarter of the nation's oil is produced in the Gulf of Mexico. As of Monday afternoon, about 80 percent of Gulf oil production was suspended, according to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. Companies have evacuated 346 oil and gas production platforms and 41 drilling rigs.

Benchmark oil fell 68 cents to end the day at $95.47 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent crude dropped $1.33 to $112.26 on the ICE Futures exchange.

There was renewed speculation that the Obama administration will release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the nation's emergency stockpile of oil. The White House has said a release is one option for combatting higher oil prices. Benchmark U.S. oil has risen 22 percent since late June. Brent crude, which is used to price international blends that many U.S. refineries use to make gasoline, is up 23 percent in the same period.

Gasoline prices have risen in recent weeks because of the higher oil prices and refinery problems in the Midwest and West Coast. At $3.75, the national average is at its highest level since May 9 and it is up about 42 cents from the low reached on July 2.

Analyst and oil trader Stephen Schork said in a daily newsletter that gasoline could rise as high as $3.90 by early October, increasing the odds that the administration will tap the SPR in an effort to bring down oil and gasoline prices.

Oil was previously released from the SPR to offset price spikes due to the loss of oil production in Libya last year and after Hurricane Katrina battered the Gulf Coast in 2005.

But if oil production and refinery operations can quickly resume after the storm passes, gasoline prices could soon fall on their own.

Kloza predicts that gasoline will begin to fall after Labor Day ? if another storm doesn't affect supplies ? as refiners switch to cheaper blends of gasoline and the summer driving season winds down. He expects retail prices to fall 20 to 40 per gallon cents in the next several weeks, and he thinks they could be well below $3.50 per gallon by early November.

In other energy trading:

--Natural gas fell 5 cents to $2.65 per 1,000 cubic feet. The government estimated that about 48 percent of Gulf natural gas production has been suspended due to the storm.

--Heating oil rose less than a penny to $3.11 a gallon.

Court finds Norwegian mass killer Breivik sane

OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik was jailed for a maximum term on Friday when judges declared him sane enough to answer for the murder of 77 people last year, drawing a smirk of triumph from the self-styled warrior against Islam.

An unrepentant Breivik, 33, gave the Oslo court a stiff-armed, clench-fisted salute before being handed the steepest possible penalty, 21 years. His release, however, can be put off indefinitely should he still pose a threat to a liberal society left traumatized by his bomb and shooting rampage last July.

Justifying blasting a government building and gunning down dozens of teenagers at a summer camp as a service to a nation threatened by immigration, he had said only acquittal or death would be worthy outcomes. But his biggest concern was being declared insane, a fate he said would be "worse than death".

Judge Wenche Elizabeth Arntzen dismissed a prosecution call for her to label Breivik mad, a ruling that would have seen him confined indefinitely to psychiatric care rather than prison.

Some survivors of the slaughter at the Labour party youth camp on Utoeya island, and much of the Norwegian public, had been keen to see Breivik held clearly responsible for his actions - and to avoid the insanity verdict that would have prompted him to demand lengthy and traumatic appeals hearings.

For many Norwegians, still shocked by their bloodiest day since World War Two, the details were academic, however.

"He is getting what he deserves," said Alexandra Peltre, 18, whom Breivik shot in the thigh on Utoeya. "This is karma striking back at him. I do not care if he is insane or not, as long as he gets the punishment that he deserves."

Breivik, who had surrendered to police on the island without a fight, admitted blowing up the Oslo government headquarters with a fertilizer bomb, killing eight, on Friday, July 22, 2011, then shooting 69 at the ruling party's summer youth camp.

Dressed in a black suit with a tie and still sporting the blond, under-chin beard familiar from the 10 weeks of hearings that ended in June, Breivik smirked when he entered the courtroom and smiled again as the judge read out the verdict.

He will not appeal, his lawyer said. "He will accept this verdict," Geir Lippestad told Reuters. During the trial Breivik said: "I would do it again" - an attitude which, if maintained, would prevent his being released at the end of his sentence.

BEREAVED SATISFIED

A lawyer for some victims and their families said they, too, were satisfied: "I am pleased, although that's not really the right word, and relieved. This is what we hoped for," said Mette Yvonne Larsen, who represented some of those affected in court.

"This is justice served and they are happy it's over and will never have to see him again."

The killings shook the nation of five million which had prided itself as a safe haven from much of the world's troubles, raising questions about the prevalence of far-right views in a country where oil wealth has attracted rising immigration.

But the trial, which some had dreaded Breivik might turn into a "circus" of hatred, has been hailed as a model of dispassionate Scandinavian justice that offered closure to the grieving; and Norwegians refused to let fear drive them to curb their easy-going daily lives with cumbersome security measures.

Breivik will now be kept in isolation inside Ila Prison on the outskirts of Oslo inside relatively spacious quarters that include a separate exercise room, a computer and a television.

His diatribes against centre-left governments' acceptance of Muslim immigration, spread over the Internet, and aired on television during the trial, drew support from a militant few in Europe. But even most of the hardest right-wing fringe groups kept their distance from the self-confessed mass killer.

Police found his claims to belong to a shadowy European network he called the Knights Templar, a nod to the mediaeval Crusader order, were probably the imaginings of an angry loner.

Norway's anti-immigration Progress Party, which Breivik had once briefly joined, suffered in municipal elections after the massacre, forcing the second biggest party in parliament to tone down its rhetoric. Opinion poll support for liberal immigration policies even grew and the attack brought many young people, now often referred to as the Utoeya generation, into politics.

DEFIANT KILLER

Although his victims were mostly teenagers, with some as young as 14, he rejected being called a child murderer, arguing that his victims were brainwashed "cultural Marxists" whose political activism would adulterate pure Norwegian blood.

He stalked his victims dressed as a policeman, tricking them into thinking he was the help sent from the shore after the initial attack. He then shot them from close range before finishing them with a shot to the head.

"I stand by what I have done and I would still do it again." he said during his court testimony.

Breivik, a high school dropout who once spent an entire year devoting himself to computer games, suffered troubles from early childhood and a psychiatric evaluation proposed removing him from his family, a verdict social workers finally rejected.

After business failures and frauds that included selling fake diplomas and a diamond scam in Liberia, he moved back in with his mother in 2006. It was then, she said, that he became obsessed with politics and changed from a "kind and caring" son to becoming "completely crazy".

Some Norwegians now believe their country must draw on the experience to debate issues like immigration, and a commission investigating the attack also concluded the country need radical changes, including gun controls and more sweeping police powers.

Still, very little has changed over the past year; ministers still walk the streets of Oslo without bodyguards and private cars can drive right up to the parliament building.

"This attack has not in any way succeeded in redefining our liberal democracy," said Oslo University philosophy professor Lars Fredrik Svendsen. "The Norwegian judicial system has shown itself as rock solid during this trial."

Ex-Rare dev discusses Killer Instinct 3, Kinect's 'Savannah' prototype and Microsoft acquisition

A former artist at Rare has given us a peek behind the curtain at the studio's "Savannah" project and the eventual elimination of Killer Instinct. Speaking with NotEnoughShaders, Donnchadh Murphy, who was a 3D modeler at Rare but now works at an animation studio, revealed the developer was working on a project called "Savannah" for Kinect.

Savannah (models pictured) was going to be a Kinect title where players raised a lion cub from birth, teaching the animal survival skills. The game was only ever a prototype and was never greenlit.

Meanwhile, Murphy said, the company was always interested in revisiting the Killer Instinct franchise in HD, as is often requested by ardent Rare fans. "We all wanted to make KI3, but Microsoft [was] more interested in broadening their demographic than making another fighting game," he said. "So it never got made, I doubt it ever will."

"When they announced Microsoft was buying, a lot of people were unsure if it was a good or bad thing. For one, MS had deep pockets so financial security seemed assured, but on the other hand they were relatively new to the games market, and complete infants in the console market," Murphy said. "Personally I don't think it was a great mix. At first it seemed that they wouldn't interfere much, but it was soon clear that they were more interested in using Rare to help aim at a younger market. This stifled a lot of creativity, Rare was renowned for their diverse portfolio, so to not be involved in making Mature games was a real blow."

There's much more about the history, politics and people of Rare in the interview.

Tropical storm Isaac: Why are Florida orange juice prices falling?

Tropical storm Isaac hit Puerto Rico Thursday and could be a Category 1 hurricane by Friday. Florida orange juice prices surged, but are now dropping as traders no longer fear a big hurricane.

By Tom Brown,?Reuters / August 23, 2012

Tropical Storm Isaac unleashed heavy rain and winds off Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands on Thursday and was expected to strengthen into a hurricane before tearing across the Dominican Republic and Haiti, U.S. forecasters said.

Isaac also posed a big threat to Florida, where it could make landfall on Monday as the Republican National Convention is due to start in Tampa.

Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of postponing or relocating the Republican convention if the storm takes direct aim at the city on Florida's central Gulf Coast. But Craig Fugate, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said the convention was not his biggest concern, at least for now.

"People are spending a lot of time talking about that," Fugate said of the convention. "I wish they'd be talking about making sure people in the (Florida) Keys are getting ready and that people in southwest Florida are getting ready," he told CNN.

RECOMMENDED: Five ways to prep for a hurricane

The storm could also affect U.S. energy interests in the Gulf of Mexico, with analysts at Weather Insight, a Thomson Reuters company, giving it a 50 percent probability of moving into the heart of the oil and gas production region.

Isaac is forecast to approach Florida on Monday as a Category 1 hurricane, the lowest on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, but some computer models show it may swing farther west into the Gulf of Mexico. "Significant uncertainty remains about the threat Isaac poses to Florida," the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

The threat to Florida triggered a 14-percent rally in orange juice prices in trading in New York earlier this week.? Prices pulled back on Thursday as panic buying over the previous two days subsided.

Florida accounts for most U.S. orange juice output, which is about 700,000 tonnes a year. "As long as it's Category 1 coming into Florida, it lessens the chances of it being destructive," said James Cordier, founder and president of Liberty Trading Group in Tampa.

The National Hurricane Center said Isaac was centered about 165 miles (255 km) south of San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Thursday afternoon and was moving westward at 15 miles per hour (24 kph).

The storm's top sustained winds dropped to 40 mph (65 kph) overnight, but the Miami-based NHC said re-strengthening was forecast over the next 48 hours and Isaac could become a hurricane on Friday before it reaches Hispaniola.

Most of Peru region opposes Newmont mine: poll

LIMA (Reuters) - A controversial $5 billion gold mine in northern Peru lacks the support of most people who would live near it, according to the first significant poll of local opinion about U.S-based Newmont Mining's Conga project.

The results from Ipsos, often regarded as the most respected polling firm in Peru, could further hobble the project, which is supported by the government but has been stalled by protests in the northern region of Cajamarca since last November.

Just 15 percent of 250 people polled in the province of Cajamarca favor the proposed mine, while 78 percent oppose it, a number that swells to 83 percent in rural areas, according to the Ipsos poll conducted between August 3 and 9.

"It's dead," Gregorio Santos, the left-wing president of the region of Cajamarca who has led rallies against the mine, said via twitter about the results. "I hope the prime minister addresses this."

The high-profile conflict has dominated President Ollanta Humala's first year in office, resulting in five deaths and two cabinet shuffles.

Locals fear the project, an expansion of the Yanacocha mine in Cajamarca, will cause contamination and ruin local water sources essential to their agricultural livelihoods. The company says reservoirs it would build will provide year-round water supplies in areas that currently suffer during the dry season.

The Conga mine would be one of the biggest investments in Peru's history. Mining makes up 60 percent of Peru's export earnings and has traditionally powered its economy, although towns near mines often are plagued by poverty.

The project has become a lightning rod for debates about whether mining can benefit local communities without damaging the environment, and whether national economic interests should trump local opposition to extractive activities.

Other polls have shown nationwide support for Conga. A separate Ipsos poll this month found that nationally, 45 percent of Peruvians support it, while 40 percent oppose it.

Some have advocated solving the dispute with a referendum in Cajamarca, which the government has rejected.

A two-day demonstration against Conga continued calmly in different parts of Cajamarca on Wednesday, including provinces covered by an ongoing ban on civil liberties.

Newmont, whose Chief Executive Richard O'Brien was in Peru last week, has said it will proceed with construction only if it has local and national support. Last month he said Conga "will occur only with local and national support ... Conga is still in our plans but moving ahead on a very measured basis."
