Paris (CNN) -- Yasser Arafat's widow on Tuesday questioned the findings of French scientists that the Palestinian leader did not die from radioactive polonium poisoning but rather from natural causes.

The conclusion, leaked to multiple French media agencies and Reuters, contradicts the findings of Swiss forensic scientists who concluded last month that samples taken from Arafat's exhumed body were consistent with polonium-210 exposure but did not definitely prove that he was poisoned.

"I'm convinced there is something wrong, and he did not die from a natural death," Suha Arafat said at a news conference in Paris.

She said she is requesting that the Swiss findings be made available to French authorities investigating her husband's death. She said the medical experts in Switzerland and France came from different medical fields.

"I don't doubt them. But they are different skills. They are different types of medicines," she said.

The French findings will do little to quell the rumors that Arafat was poisoned.

Arafat died at age 75 at a Paris military hospital in November 2004 after he had a brain hemorrhage and slipped into a coma. Palestinian officials said in the days before his death that Arafat had a blood disorder -- though they ruled out leukemia -- and that he had digestive problems.

Rumors of poisoning circulated at the time, but Palestinian officials denied them.

Two weeks after Arafat's death, his nephew said medical records showed no cause of death. Nasser al-Kidwa, who was the Palestinian observer to the United Nations, said toxicology tests showed "no known poison," though he refused to exclude the possibility that poison caused his uncle's death.

Question: James is going to the baseball field with his friend Tommy.

James has to practice because baseball season starts in a week.

He wants to be a good player when the season starts.

James has been lazy in practicing so he is not very good at baseball right now.

He has to make up for it by playing baseball for 5 hours every day for a week.

James thinks this is enough practice for him to catch up and be a good player when the season starts.

So James and Tommy practice every day. They throw the ball around. They practice batting and they practice fielding.

Tommy begins to see that James is getting better every day. He says "I do not believe it, James, but I think you are going to be pretty good when the season starts!"

Usually a week is not enough time to get pretty good at baseball but James is practicing so much he is fitting a month of practice into one week.

Then James has a setback. His glove rips during practice. He can't keep playing with a broken glove!

So Tommy and James go around town collecting bottles to trade in for five cents for each bottle.

James misses a day of practicing but they find enough bottles to turn in for thirty dollars.

This is enough money for James to buy a new glove!

So James buys a new glove and he and Tommy go back to the field and practice some more.

By the time the season comes James is one of the best players on his team. 1. Where was James going?

Q: The Jewish Encyclopedia is an English encyclopedia containing over 15,000 articles on the history, culture, and state of Judaism and the Jews up to the early 20th century. It was originally published in 12 volumes by Funk and Wagnalls of New York City between 1901 and 1906 and reprinted in the 1960s by KTAV Publishing House. The work's scholarship is still highly regarded: the American Jewish Archives has called it "the most monumental Jewish scientific work of modern times" and Rabbi Joshua L. Segal noted that, "For events prior to 1900, it is considered to offer a level of scholarship superior to either of the more recent Jewish Encyclopedias written in English." It is now in the public domain and hosted at various sites around the internet.

The encyclopedia's managing editor was Isidore Singer. The editorial board was chaired by Isaac K. Funk and Frank H. Vizetelly. The other editors participating in all twelve volumes were Cyrus Adler, Gotthard Deutsch, Richard Gottheil, Joseph Jacobs, Kaufmann Kohler, Herman Rosenthal, and Crawford Howell Toy. Morris Jastrow, Jr. and Frederick de Sola Mendes assisted with volumes I & II; Marcus Jastrow with volumes I, II, & III; Louis Ginzberg with the first four volumes; Solomon Schechter with volumes IV through VII; Emil G. Hirsch with volumes IV through XII; and Wilhelm Bacher with volumes VIII through XII. William Popper served as the assistant revision editor and chief of translation for Vols.IV through XII.
