Cairo, Aug 11 (IANS) Egypt's blacklisted Muslim Brotherhood's general guide Mohamed Badie was referred to a criminal court on Tuesday.
Badie and few other Brotherhood members were accused of militant assembling, blocking public roads, murdering, targeting policemen, assaulting government institutions, practice of terrorist acts and weapons possession, Xinhua news agency reported.
The case was registered on August 14, 2013.
The prosecution said, the accused has organised sit-ins that terrorised the citizens and hindered the ordinary daily life in the capital.
Since the ouster of president Mohamad Morsi in 2013 in response to mass protests against his rule, hundreds of Brotherhood members have been facing trials over violence and murder.
Morsi, along with Badie on June 18, were sentenced to death over a mass jailbreak during the country's 2011 political turmoil.

I finally tried this one even though I bought this a while ago. I ordered 100g of this on the good faith that I would love it, like I love cake.
I was not disappointed. The rooibos is the perfect match for this tea. It is a sweet and almost creamy tea. It has a pretty strong vanilla flavour, or almost like a maple flavour. I can see this being a vanilla cake/icing mix. It definitely would curb any cravings that I have. I think I will have to keep a little of this one on hand for those days that all I want is a sweet treat.

Alternative Use posted on 10/05/2012 by starhedderley
The truth is that I do not know how it will perform It is being used to cure a silk weed problem in my pond and as a layer under my strawberries but barley straw was essential and so far it looks ok
fantastic value posted on 12/02/2012 by michelle13
I love this straw great value and lasts ages have tried loads of different straw and this is by far the best not cut too fine as with most straws which means my guinea pigs can snuggle up in it without it flattening down
great product posted on 25/10/2011 by CycleMad
big sized baggood value and my bunnies love it as its lovely for making a cosy bed for themi would definatly buy this again
My bunnies love it posted on 08/10/2011 by kirsty1112
Theres not a great deal of pet shops in my town so I do not have a huge selection when it comes to my bunnies things. After initally buying their hutch a bag of straw hay etc when I first got my bunnies I came across this site and seen the great prices for XL bags I thought I would give it a go and ordered two bags because even if they were the same size as the bag I'd bought they were still a couple of �'s cheaper. When I'd ordered the straw there was no mention that it was out of stock and just assumed that it would arrive in about 3 days so was very dissapointed when it never turned up as I'd used the last of my straw in the last hutch clean meaning I had had to go out and buy another bag from the pet shop. However when the straw finally did arrive I was very pleased. They really are XL bags and very compressed. There is just no comparrison with the bags I had bought from the pet shop. Huge bag, dust free, cosy, very high quality and apparently pretty yummy too. Smells great and lasts ages just shame it took so long to arrive last time. Will definitely be getting again before I run out this time. The bunnies wouldn't be best chuffed if we went back to the other pet shop stuff.
really big bag wonderful value posted on 16/09/2011 by suzioux
so pleased with this have ordered some more very big bag lasts for ages and good quality too keeping my hens very cosy
Sorry but we do not have any promotions linked to this product.

A PHARMACY is taking a Scottish health board to court as the row over who dispenses medicines in rural communities takes a turn.
It is the latest development in a long-running saga about whether the local GPs in Tarves, Aberdeenshire, should continue to hand over the drugs they prescribe.
Under current regulations doctors are barred from running their own in-house drug dispensary in areas where pharmacies are available. Community Pharmacy Scotland say health boards have a duty to provide a full pharmaceutical care service where it is viable.
Loading article content
But the loss of the drugs service and the income it provides has led some GPs to leave or surgeries to close.
In Tarves the surgery run by Haddo Medical Group shut after it lost most of its dispensing rights, but NHS Grampian launched a review of the situation and ultimately allowed them to dispense more widely again. This prompted the surgery to re-open last year.
Now Tarves Pharmacy is seeking a judicial review of NHS Grampian's decision to let the Haddo Medical Group carry on dispensing drugs.
A spokesman for Tarves Pharmacy said: "This decision, which was taken at a meeting behind closed doors and which had no input from community pharmacy, was contrary to an earlier decision taken by NHS Grampian's own expert committee which had been asked to conduct an extensive review.
"The decision taken by NHS Grampian also appears to run contrary to the way in which the regulations have been interpreted throughout Scotland on numerous other similar occasions."
Chris York, who was part of the campaign to keep Tarves surgery open, said: "As a community we managed to get NHS Grampian to review their decisions about GP dispensing and the board made a clear democratic decision in favour of the community needs - it's what the public sector aspires to: evidence-based decision making. We had the support of elected politicians at every level, including our local MSP Alex Salmond, and we worked hard to demonstrate the needs and wishes of patients.""

Agent confirms midfielder heading to Liverpool after Man City move collapses
CHIDERA EJIKE is set to join Liverpool and will undergo a trial next month, his agent has confirmed.
Chidera Ejike is set for a trial with Liverpool after a deal for Man City fell through
The 18-year-old Nigerian has been on the radar of a number of top European clubs including Premier League rivals Manchester City.
However, the attacking midfielder's agent Babawo Mohammed has confirmed talks with City have broken down and his client will instead be heading to Anfield for a trial.
"We waited for Manchester City and they did not get back to us," he told website AllNigeriaSoccer.
"So I went to Liverpool and introduced Ejike to them and they gave us an invitation for a two-week trial.
"He is going to Liverpool next month for trials."
Major clubs across Europe have looked to young Nigerian options in recent months following the country's success at the Under-17 World Cup in November 2015.
Arsenal are expected to finalise a deal for winger Samuel Chukwueze after his team-mate and Nigeria U17 captain Kelechi Nwakali confirmed his move today.
"I just came back from London; I have signed a five-year contract with Arsenal," He told AllNigeriaSoccer.
"So many teams were interested in me, but it has been my dream at a tender age to play for Arsenal."

Dangerous Team
The Utah Jazz have had one of the NBA's most efficient offenses despite a subpar season from Mehmet Okur. Now that Okur appears to be returning to form, the Northwest Division leaders seem even more dangerous.
Okur looks to continue his hot streak as the Jazz visit the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday in search of their sixth straight win.
Oddsmakers from Sportsbook.com have made Utah -3.5 point spread favorites (NBA Odds) for today's game, the over/under has been set at 215 total points (Matchup). Our public betting information shows that 94% of bets for this game have been placed on Utah -3.5 (View NBA Bet Percentages).
Utah (42-22) is atop the Northwest thanks in part to an offense that leads the league in field-goal percentage at 49.7 and ranks among the league leaders with 106.3 points per game.
The Jazz have compiled those statistics despite Okur's struggles. After scoring 18.0 points per game in 2005-06, and 17.6 last season, the 6-foot-11 center from Turkey is averaging only 14.0 points while shooting 44.0 percent from the field - his lowest percentage since he shot 42.6 percent as a rookie with Detroit in 2002-03.
Lately, however, Okur has found his range to help Utah's offense become even more potent. The Jazz are scoring 118.4 points per game and shooting 55.6 percent in going 5-0 this month. During that stretch, Okur is averaging 20.8 points and shooting 58.3 percent - including 11-for-20 from 3-point range.
Okur was one of seven Jazz players to score in double figures and one of four to record a double-double as he went 9-for-11 from the field with 27 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high six 3-pointers in Utah's 132-105 rout of division rival Denver on Saturday.
"He has such a unique dimension he brings to our team," said Utah forward Kyle Korver after the team recorded its second-highest scoring output of the season. "I don't care who you are. If somebody's hitting that many 3s (against you), it's deflating."
The Jazz have shot 50 percent or better from the field in each game during their winning streak. It's their longest such streak since they made at least half of their shots in seven straight games from Feb. 27-March 9, 1997.
They'll try to extend the run of success against a Chicago team that has struggled defensively. The Bulls (25-38) allowed Detroit to shoot 50.6 percent in their 116-109 loss on Sunday - the second consecutive game they've given up 116 points.
"Until our defense picks up, it is going to be a struggle for us," said Bulls coach Jim Boylan, whose club fell 116-93 at Boston on Friday. "We had so many breakdowns that they were just able to drive by us. That was disappointing."
Chicago's defensive struggles have overshadowed Ben Gordon's strong play over the last week. The Bulls' sixth man is averaging 23.3 points and shooting 56.8 percent (25-for-44) from the field - including 58.8 percent (10-for-17) from beyond the arc - in his last three games.
Utah beat Chicago 97-87 at home on Feb. 9. Okur was held to seven points in that game, but All-Star forward Carlos Boozer had 22 points and 12 boards as the Jazz beat the Bulls for the fourth consecutive time overall.
Thabo Sefolosha led the Bulls with 22 points in the Feb. 9 loss, but remains day-to-day with a groin strain that has kept him out of Chicago's last six contests.

ObamaCare Enrollments: White House says 6 million signed up for coverage (Politico)
White House adviser Phil Schiliro predicted Thursday that enrollment in the Obamacare insurance exchanges will top 6 million.
"I think we're going to be over 6 million. I think we're going to be well over 6 million," he said on MSNBC.
Officials have reported high website traffic and call center volume. The deadline is March 31 although the administration said it will stretch that out for anyone who says they encountered troubles finishing their application on time.

On the surface, Submarine sounds like a typical coming-of-age comedy. Hyper-articulate 15-year-old misfit Oliver Tate (newcomer Craig Roberts) navigates toward consummating his relationship with his borderline juvenile-delinquent girlfriend Jordana (Yasmin Paige) while valiantly - make that deviously - attempting to salvage his parents' marriage.
But those of you seeking mindless summer fare beware - there are emotional depth charges. They do not flatten, but actually uplift the effervescent humour of Richard Ayoade's feature-directing debut, helping make Submarine one of the most irresistible films of the year so far.
We have seen the likes of Oliver before. This we are told by the protagonist himself, a big fan of The Catcher in the Rye. He has the tenacious can-do spirit of Ferris Bueller but is otherwise a duffle-coat-wearing square living in Swansea, Wales.
Ayoade nudges Joe Dunthorne's nineties-set novel, on which the film is based, somewhere into the mid-eighties to exploit the era's analog charms - console TVs, mix cassettes and handwritten notes. This is around the same time coming-of-age movie maestro John Hughes gave Ferris a day off, but unlike his contemporary, Oliver seems oblivious to mainstream pop culture. New Wave bands have not hit his bedroom walls, which instead sport a Woody Allen poster.
It's clear his clinically depressed marine biologist dad Lloyd (thickly bearded Noah Taylor) and seriously uptight mom Jill (bob-haired Sally Hawkins) are in a prolonged romantic lull. Oliver, ever the observant only child, notes they have not been dimming the bedroom light. His distress turns to panic when Jill's old flame Graham (mullet-sporting Paddy Considine), a kind of mystic self-help guru with a garishly painted panel van, moves in next door and gets all chummy.
Oliver is not simply the narrator of his unfolding life story: He is the misunderstood hero of an ambitious work-in-progress. This includes speculative asides, such as his highly stylized vision of how the town (his female schoolmates in particular) will mourn his untimely death. Later on, he begins to put some of his clever scenarios into action but is rudely surprised when real life does not deliver his intended outcomes.
Oliver's extra-curricular activities are supervised by the assured hand and eye of Ayoade, the British TV comedy triple threat best known for his role in The IT Crowd, who has also been a series comedy writer-director and helmed music videos for Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
The visual sensibility of Submarine is kind of Quadrophenia meets French New Wave, which lends a timeless quality - as does Andrew Hewitt's score and, in particular, a handful of original songs written and performed by Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner.
But Submarine is really propelled by the nuanced performances of its thoroughly excellent cast. Every single character has outlandish hair, strange personality quirks, odd jobs or hobbies. These things could have easily resulted in a mass outbreak of broad comedy, but the actors play their roles completely straight. In Submarine, you truly ache through the awkward moments - even as you're laughing out loud.
- Directed and written by Richard Ayoade
- Starring Craig Roberts, Noah Taylor, Sally Hawkins, Paddy Considine and Yasmin Paige
- Classification: 14A
Submarine opens Friday June 10 in Toronto, June 17 in Vancouver and June 24 in Montreal.

After a car accident on 5/11/2013, quotemehappy.com(low price insurance but excellent service), supplied a hire car from Enterprise through their Lye, Stourbridge branch. I had the car from 6/11/2013 till 5/12/2013. enterprise picked me up at 6:00 pm that evening. I had to wait about one hour while they collected the car from a existing customer, the car was then washed and prepared. The car was a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 registration VU13EHF, I viewed the car out the back and relying on representative to point out any damage all I saw was a few scratches on wing mirror. The representative did not squat or stand back looking a vehicle at 30 degree angle to determine any hairline dents. I signed all their paperwork.
On returning car on 5/12/2013. They said their was a dent on the passenger door, caused by possibly another car door being opened onto it. I could not personally see the damage, the representative then said squat and look at a 30 degree angle, (as I said I don't remember their representative (charming young girl) inspecting the car this closely) and their was the slightest mark (I think was their when I hired vehicle), but I had signed all their paperwork so I had no defence and payed the £230.00 pounds Excess. The representative pointed out I could have bought their insurance rather than drive on my own insurance.
To me this damage could have well have been on the car when I picked up as we only look for obvious damage.
In summary I feel cheated (the money is immaterial), but have learned my lesson and will not use them again and relate experience to many people as possible.

CUSTOMER SERVICE IS xxxx - THERE IS NONE
Phoned on Saturday to obtain price for car hire for family member coming from Canada - went to book Monday and they wanted another £202.
Don't bother complaining to head office as they could not give a toss either.
How are they still in business?
Written on: 05/05/2014
I'm convinced it's all part of their training, almost same thing happened to me, see my review at the "Tricks of the trade" - except i paid £700 excess and i didn't get a penny back.
I'm glad somebody fought this and won, well done.

Banbury's newly-formed Community Action Group (CAG) is inviting people to its first ever Give or Take and More! event being held next weekend.
The sustainability group is holding the free event on Saturday, March 22 at the Banbury Hub/New Futures Centre in Hilton Road from 10am to noon.
People will be able to bring, take or swap items, such as clothes, books, DVDs and toys.
There will also be furniture upcycling, bike repairs, advice on reducing food and energy bills and an opportunity to find out your carbon footprint.
Food samples will be on offer and there will be a Fairtrade café open to all.
The new Banbury group is part of the Community Action Group Project (CAG) which helps raise awareness and takes action on pressing environmental issues including waste reduction and sustainable transport.
Simon Kenton of the CAG project said: "As well as being an ideal opportunity to clear clutter and reduce the amount of stuff we throw away, swap shops make a real impact on Oxfordshire's environment.
"In 2012/13 more than 80 swap shops were held across the county, diverting more than 30 tonnes of items away from landfill." The Banbury CAG meets at 7.30pm on the last Monday of the month at St John's Centre, Dashwood Road.
For more information contact Mr Kenton on 07793 647190 or email@example.com or visit http://cagoxfordshire.org.uk

As eyewitness memory of the Holocaust recedes in Europe, young people are especially vulnerable to dangerous ignorance and indifference about antisemitic attitudes that are still very much present in Europe. The project's efforts are based in the five countries – Belgium, France, Greece, Hungary and the UK - but we reach a broader European audience in the pursuit of solutions to a pan-European problem.
What do we want?
Engage young people around the importance of fighting antisemitic speech and bolstering new media advocacy against hate speech.
Promote accurate, balanced and inclusive messages about Jews that counter misinformation.
Discuss a culture of respect and test out arguments against antisemitic stereotypes.
What do we do?
Media monitoring
We monitor traditional and new media to uncover antisemitic acts and speech by journalists and public figures.
Media complaints
When we detect antisemitic content in the media, we expose and counter it using the most appropriate mechanisms - letters to the editor, articles and complaints to official regulatory bodies.
Satirical cartoons
Findings from the media monitoring will provide grist for cartoons and posters to counter antisemitic hate speech to expose false claims and lies.
Radio programmes
We bring together the views of both Jewish and non-Jewish residents to talk about the same topic.
Video production
Videos will debunk stereotypes and show how they can be harmful for all the communities.
We cooperate with theatre companies helping them perform in alternative spaces raising awareness of the danger of antisemitism.

A comparison of MRI criteria for diagnosing pediatric ADEM and MS
Background: Brain MRI is a useful tool for diagnosing inflammatory demyelinating disorders in children. However, it remains unclear which are the most reliable criteria for distinguishing multiple sclerosis (MS) from monophasic disorders such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). We therefore compared the 4 current sets of MRI criteria in our Dutch pediatric cohort and determined which are the most useful in clinical practice for distinguishing ADEM from MS. Methods: We included 49 children who had had a demyelinating event and an MRI scan within 2 months of their first clinical attack. Twenty-one patients had ADEM and remained relapse-free after at least 2 years of follow-up. Twenty-eight patients had a definitive diagnosis of MS. We assessed the sensitivity and specificity of the following MRI criteria: Barkhof criteria, KIDMUS criteria, Callen MS-ADEM criteria, and Callen diagnostic MS criteria. Results: The Callen MS-ADEM criteria had the best combination of sensitivity (75%) and specificity (95%). The KIDMUS criteria had higher specificity (100%), but much lower sensitivity (11%). The Barkhof criteria had a sensitivity of 61% and a specificity of 91%. The Callen diagnostic MS criteria were the most sensitive (82%), but were only 52% specific for distinguishing a first attack of MS from ADEM. Conclusions: The results in our cohort demonstrate that the new Callen criteria for multiple sclerosis-acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (MS-ADEM) are the most useful for differentiating a first attack of MS from monophasic ADEM. Although the Callen diagnostic MS criteria are more sensitive, they lack the specificity necessary to differentiate MS from ADEM.

Keane: I've got nothing to lose with Irons
Robbie Keane says he is relishing the prospect of regular first-team football with West Ham, insisting that he doesn't "have anything to lose" by moving to Upton Park.
Along with fellow January arrivals Wayne Bridge, Gary O'Neil and fellow forward Demba Ba, Keane is expected to be thrown straight into the action by Avram Grant as his men battle for Premier League survival, starting with Wednesday's clash with Blackpool.
The terms of Keane's move from Tottenham are complicated, initially on loan until the end of the season with a view to making a £6 million deal permanent for the next two-and-a-half years, as long as the Irons maintain their top-flight status.
West Ham are Keane's eighth club since he made the breakthrough at Wolves, and last season he spent a loan spell in Scotland with Celtic. The much-travelled frontman, though, is confident he can have an impact for his latest employers.
"It is something I am fairly used to now, coming to a new club,'' Keane said. "It is an opportunity for me, and I don't really have anything to lose. West Ham are bottom, all we can do is push up the table and I am here to hopefully do that to avoid relegation.''
"I can only be myself, if other people can see me bringing something else to the dressing room, well great,'' eane said. I am here to help the team, if that is off the pitch also with the character I am, then that is great. The spirit is fine here, there are good lads and top quality players.''
"Even before I came to West Ham, I thought they had the quality to stay up. Sometimes you find yourselves in situations where you are down there and it is very difficult to get out. It is important that sooner rather than later they get out of that situation they are in, and hopefully I can help them do it.''
Keane's move across to east London brings to an end his second spell at Tottenham, having rejoined them from Liverpool two years ago. The striker, though, is looking forward to a new challenge at Upton Park.
"It was not a wrench to leave Spurs, because at the end of the day, I just want to play football,'' he said. "I have got friends there, but it means nothing if you are not playing football. It is a short career, you have to make the most of it. I want to play football and don't like to get paid for sitting on the bench.
"In respect, it is difficult to leave a club which you have a lot of association with, but I have to look after my career. I enjoy playing and love playing. I want to keep doing that for as much as I can.''
On finding himself pushed down the striking order at White Hart Lane, Keane added: "That is the way football goes, Spurs have got a lot of top players. It is going to be difficult for the other players there, they have so many strikers who are top players.''
Keane maintains his move to West Ham was not about keeping himself in contention for more international recognition.
"I have not really worried or thought about my position with the Ireland team,'' he said. "It is all about now and I have said before if I didn't play for Ireland and someone else came in, I have always said I would walk away.''

Washington, DC – The American Civil Liberties Union today urged the Senate Judiciary Committee to reject a bill offered by ranking member Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA). Senator Specter's bill, the FISA Intelligence Surveillance Substitution Act of 2007, would remove the telecommunications companies and insert the federal government as the defendant in cases currently pending over domestic spying. The bill is scheduled to be marked up by the full Senate Judiciary Committee today.
The following can be attributed to Caroline Fredrickson, director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office:
"Allowing the administration to step in as the defendant is not an acceptable alternative to immunity. The administration has three strong cards up its sleeve when it comes to national security cases. First it will play the state secrets card, arguing that a court cannot hear the cases because they include classified national security matters. If that is rebuffed, then it's on to executive privilege, an argument that the president has authority over certain matters into which the courts cannot intervene. If a court challenges this specious claim of executive privilege, the administration can bring its A-bomb - sovereign immunity. Sovereign immunity is a term that means the government cannot be sued without consent. So, unless the administration agrees that it would love to be sued, sovereign immunity is likely to kill any case in its tracks. The end result is that substitution is immunity in two moves instead of just one.
"This substitution proposal does not put up a roadblock to immunity – it just lengthens the journey. Since the domestic spying program was revealed in 2005, the American people have been waiting for an answer as to why the government and the telecoms violated our privacy. We've waited too long. We deserve our day in court."

Overview Symptoms Evaluation Treatment questions for doctor specialist Home Care warning signs Outlook Underlying Cause Anatomy
Ear Plugged with Wax Home Care
Home care for cerumen impaction includes:
- Ear wax removal kit
- Ear drops that dissolve earwax
- Bulb syringe:
- For irrigating the ear
To remove earwax:
- You may irrigate the ear with a rubber bulb syringe from an ear wax removal kit.
- Nonprescription eardrops soften and dissolve ear wax. Use the eardrops one hour before irrigating the ear with a bulb syringe.
- Keep your head upright while you irrigate the ear. Grasp the external ear and gently pull upward and back.
- Using the bulb syringe, gently direct a stream of lukewarm water into the ear canal. Tip the head and allow the water to drain from the ear. Do not suction the ear canal; this can cause damage to the eardrum. Stop the procedure and see your doctor if you have pain during irrigation. Do not use a water jet irrigator such as a Waterpik.
- If unsuccessful, use the eardrops again. Wait 20 to 30 minutes before irrigating the ear again.
- After the wax is removed, dry the ear with a towel.
- Never irrigate your ear if you have an earache.
- Never irrigate water into the ear if there is a hole in the eardrum or tubes in the ears.
- Clean the ears with a washcloth only: do not put cotton swabs into the ear canal.
Ear Plugged with Wax Warning Signs
Notify your doctor if you have cerumen impaction and any of the following:
- Blood draining from the ear canal

Surf: Knee high ESE long period swell in the morning with occasional waist high sets.
Goto the surf plots, click on view details. You will see 1ft @ 16seconds.
Check the wave maps.. zoom out to east coast view. You'll see a bit of a system develop in the central waters. If this develops a little further than current models are showing, we could get something decent... worth keeping an eye on.
I'd like to ask you and the other swellinfo users how familiar they are with all the swellinfo functionality, like I described above. Do you look at the swell details, and are you familiar with using the zoom features on the wave maps? There's a lot of functionality, just curious how much people are using, and if there are features that people dont know about. I've been thinking about putting together some video tuturial type stuff.
Yeah, when I backed the zoom off of the coast it showed the source. Just had me confused for a minute. My routine is usually to check the swell/waves/wind maps, then to the surf and swell plots. When the swells get closer I keep an eye on the bouy and weather also. I have fooled with the zoom before, but usually just go with what it's set on. In this case it answered my question, though, thanks. I try to cover all bases with the functions, but some can be confusing or seem contradictory at times, so the video thing would probably help.

Review for Center for Biological Diversity Inc, Tucson, AZ, USA
The Center for Biological Diversity embodies an important new form of environmental activism. In the late 1980s, American biodiversity protection advocates faced a dilemma of choosing between two paths for protecting wildlife, each with notable limitations. The first path was represented by national environmental organizations that relied on the insider strategy commonly used by interest groups in Washington, DC, which depended on privileged access to politicians to influence policy. The problem with this strategy was that it regularly led these organizations to avoid taking strong stands on controversial issues when they believed such stands might hurt their access and influence. The second path consisted of activists who engaged in direct actions such as sitting in old-growth trees to deter loggers from cutting them down. Because these activists did not rely on an insider strategy they could be as bold as needed, but their direct-action tactics rarely saved biodiversity on a large scale. Faced with the limitations of each of these two paths, the founders of the Center chose instead to create a third path. Center activists embraced legal tactics, but rejected the constraints of the insider strategy. They were willing to file lawsuits against the federal government for its failure to enforce its own environmental laws in cases the national organizations avoided as potentially controversial. As a result, the Center has been able to apply the Endangered Species Act far more extensively than had ever been attempted before, achieving an unprecedented increase in species protection over the past two decades. The Center has thus offered the environmental movement an exciting new path for saving biodiversity that is simultaneously bold and influential.

Ithaca NY (SPX) Jul 28, 2006
Each year nearly 40,000 tons of cosmic dust fall to Earth from outer space. Now, the first successful chronological study of extraterrestrial dust in Antarctic ice has shown that this amount has remained largely constant over the past 30,000 years, a finding that could help refine efforts to understand the timing and effects of changes in the Earth's past climate.
The same study also used an improved analytical technique to show that dust carried to Antarctica from continental sources changed depending on climate.
The study, which appears in the July 28 issue of the journal Science, involved researchers from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, a part of The Earth Institute at Columbia University, and the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven, Germany. The depth of the core they examined corresponded to the period between 6,800 and 29,000 years before the present day--a span that includes the height of the last glacial period, and the transition to warm conditions similar to today.
The scientists collected particulate matter from the EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) ice core and measured the concentration of helium-3 (3He), a rare isotope that is plentiful in the sun's solar wind and is carried to Earth imbedded in cosmic dust particles measuring just a few thousandths of a millimeter in diameter. These dust particles carry their exotic helium load to the Earth's surface where they are preserved in the snow and ice of the polar ice caps, among other places.
Because ice cores from the polar caps provide a high-resolution temporal record of the past, the researchers were able to measure fine variations in the rate of cosmic dust accumulation between glacial and interglacial periods as well as the helium isotope characteristics of these rare particles.
They found that the accumulation of cosmic dust did not change appreciably as the Earth emerged from the last great Ice Age and entered the current warm period, a fact that is likely to bolster the use of cosmic dust measuring techniques in future climate studies.
In addition, this was the first study to examine both cosmic and terrestrial dust using the same helium-isotope technique. As a result, they also found that the composition of mineral dust particles carried by wind from the southern continents to Antarctica changed considerably as the Earth's climate changed.
"The terrestrial dust coming down on Antarctica during the Ice Age obviously is not the same as that during warm periods," said Gisela Winckler, a Doherty associate research scientist at Lamont-Doherty and lead author on the study. "This may be due to the mineral dust originating from different regional sources or to changes in the process responsible for producing the dust."

The increasing number of pine plantations in the southern United States could contribute to a rise in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, a new study reports. This is important because carbon dioxide is a key greenhouse gas, one that is linked to global warming.

Cabrera third in early All-Star voting
Cabrera third in early All-Star voting
What shapes up to be Cabrera's best chance to get into the All-Star Game since he joined Detroit two years ago still presents a battle for him to crack the AL's starting lineup for the Midsummer Classic on Tuesday, July 13 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. The first release of All-Star balloting totals shows Cabrera third among AL first basemen, trailing the Yankees' Mark Teixeira and Minnesota's Justin Morneau.
Cabrera had received 242,039 votes as of the balloting update released Monday. Teixeira leads with 396,034 votes; Morneau sits slightly ahead of Cabrera with 258,225.
Fans can cast their votes for starters up to 25 times at MLB.com and all 30 club sites using the 2010 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot sponsored by Sprint until July 1 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Sprint subscribers can now vote on the go with select Sprint devices. They can learn more about how to vote on their smart phones at MLB.com/Sprint. Given the way Cabrera ended last season, perhaps the initial third-place showing is a positive sign. But the more Cabrera hits, the further he strengthens his argument that he ranks among the best hitters in the league at any position.
Cabrera entered Monday batting .331 with 15 doubles, 10 home runs and 40 RBIs. He added to the latter two totals on Sunday, when he lined a ball over the "Mannywood" sign in left field at Dodger Stadium for a two-run homer, helping build an early lead that the Tigers maintained for a 6-2 victory.
Cabrera's 1.012 OPS ranks third among AL hitters behind two other first basemen, Morneau and Kevin Youkilis.
With Cabrera away from the team for the next couple games to be with his wife for the birth of their second child, he isn't going to add to his resume right away. But with the Tigers headed back home for a seven-game homestand that begins Memorial Day weekend, however, he'll have plenty of opportunities after that. Balloting at Comerica Park runs through June 12, while online balloting at MLB.com continues through July 1.
Cabrera was hopeful but guarded when asked about his chances when the ballot was released last month. No Tigers player has started in the All-Star Game since Ivan Rodriguez in 2007.
"The thing is, [there are] too many good first basemen," Cabrera said. "It was tough two years ago for me because I started the year at third base. Last year, it was tough because there were so many good first basemen. Let's see what happens this year, but I think it's too soon to say."
The only other Detroit player ranked among the top five in balloting at his respective position is Brandon Inge, who ranks fifth at third base behind Evan Longoria, Alex Rodriguez and others. Magglio Ordonez and Johnny Damon rank 13th and 15th, respectively, in balloting among AL outfielders, but hot-hitting rookie Austin Jackson -- who is on the ballot -- surprisingly hasn't cracked the top 15.
Starting rosters will be announced during the 2010 All-Star Game Selection Show on TBS on July 4. Baseball fans around the world will then be able to select the final player on each team via the 2010 All-Star Game Final Vote sponsored by Sprint.
And the voting doesn't end there. Fans will have the opportunity to participate in the official voting for the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet at the Midsummer Classic via the 2010 All-Star Game MVP Vote sponsored by Sprint.
The All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX and around the world by Major League Baseball International. ESPN Radio will provide exclusive national radio play-by-play, while MLB.com will offer extensive online coverage.

TEMECULA -- With just three points separating first place from fifth place in the Southwestern League boys soccer standings going into play Thursday, every match is critical.
With that backdrop, Murrieta Valley secured two crucial points in the standings with a 2-0 win over Vista Murrieta at Patricia H. Birdsall Sports Park on Thursday.
"Two points, especially against this team, is good," Murrieta coach Chuck Elsea said. "They're a good team."
The win, combined with Chaparral's draw with Great Oak, puts Murrieta (12-6-3, 3-1-2) in a first-place tie with the Pumas. The Wolfpack and Temecula Valley are tied for third, a point back, while the Broncos (8-11-3, 1-2-3) remained in fifth, but fell further off the pace.
"This loss hurts, especially this time of year, but it won't end our season," Vista Murrieta coach John Hanson said. "We have four games left. We have our work cut out for us."
The Nighthawks scored once in each half and got one huge save from keeper Robby Gogatz, who hadn't played since before Christmas because of a meniscus injury.
Murrieta took the lead in the 24th minute on a set play.
Ryan Standifird launched a corner kick into the Broncos' penalty area and Matt Boudreau rose above a crowd of players to hammer a header into the back of the net.
Vista Murrieta had a golden opportunity to equalize two minutes later after a Murrieta defender was called for a hand ball in the penalty area. Tyler Simmons hit the resulting penalty kick hard and low to Gogatz's right, but the keeper made a diving save, then quickly grabbed the rebound.
"It felt pretty good, especially against Vista Murrieta," Gogatz said. "At first I thought he was going to go to the left, then he went to the right. You kind of watch, but you pretty much guess."
Gogatz was only called upon to make just the one save in the first half, but Tyler Parmenter, who replaced Gogatz at the break, made three in the second half as the Broncos turned up the pressure trying to draw even. Vista Murrieta, however, couldn't find the net despite creating decent opportunities.
"We have to put our chances away," Hanson said. "That's been our problem all year. We'll dominate, but not score."
With the Broncos pushing forward, the Nighthawks put the game away on a 66th-minute counter attack.
The Vista Murrieta defense initially dealt with a cross from the right wing by Joe Riley but didn't get the ball fully cleared. Standifird fed Miguel Vasquez a nice through ball, and Vasquez fired home the insurance goal.

I hate oranges.
The Jude loves them, so we keep them around, especially recently. He'll eat clementines by the bucketful and I can pat myself on the back for another day of adequate toddler nutrition with very minimal effort. "Orange! MORE orange!" he calls to me, and stomps his foot. I can't even take offense because I know he's not being purposely demanding he just loves oranges that much, stomp-your-foot much. His devotion is admirable if not deeply misplaced. I overhear myself telling him, "You're going to burn your butthole off, kid, with all these freaking oranges," but he doesn't listen. This is parenthood. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
I press my finger slightly forward and feel my thumb nail sink through the outer layer of the peel. Immediately its essence bubbles out, the flesh sticks under my nail, oil from its pores coats my finger. Worst of all is when juice comes spurting out onto unexpected surfaces like artillery fire. The smell is an act of war– the lingering, oily skin-scent, blossoms forth and infects my nose, consuming it completely with no hope of escape.
Once the smell touches me I can never seem to get rid of it no matter how hard I try, no matter how many times I scrub my hands. It follows me around for the rest of the day, mocking me. I can feel it over my shoulder, ski-mask pulled down tight, waiting for me to keep breathing just so it can tap me on the shoulder and say, "Oh excuse me, Miss? Yes, everything still smells like oranges. Just thought you might need a reminder or forty-thousand." Trust me, orange-ninja, I don't need a reminder.
Orange smell is like a virus in a jungle. Or the dreaded phantom-poop smell of infancy. Or when you looked around and suddenly noticed that a disproportionate number of movie titles are set in Trajan Pro. Or that one thing you saw one time and then it was ALL AROUND YOU. You can't escape it. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
When I was growing up my Dad had this industrial-strength soap that he only used after he had been working out in the garage. We kept it tucked underneath the sink in the hall bathroom with the old hand-towels with the tassels that no one liked. It was thick and gloppy and it had little bits of grit in it to help displace oil and grime. Worst of all, it smelled overpoweringly like oranges. It's not even that oranges have such a terrible smell, it just never leaves me alone and I'm a person who likes very much to be left alone.
Still though, I open every orange without comment and dutifully hand it over. The Jude finishes the rest of the work and he's beatifically proud to do it himself, peeling each discarded flake of skin and piling them in a totem stack on his plate before he consumes the tender insides. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
I eat them myself, more than occasionally, so that I too can be pleased about my nutrition and because I'm a glutton for punishment. I hold my breath and peel away each clinging strand of white flesh until the fruit is free of strings and my lungs are close to bursting. I hate their strings, too. It feels akin to hating someone's bones and ligaments.
I hate everything that makes you operate, but man your flesh still tastes alright.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Window panes project is moving forward at North Tonawanda History Museum
NORTH TONAWANDA – Despite being closed for the season, work is going strong behind the scenes at the North Tonawanda History Museum. This includes the window pane covering project designed to provide protection to items in the museum at 54 Webster St. and information to passers-by on Webster and Manhattan streets.
So far, 16 sponsors have come forward, paying $400 to sponsor one of 25 panes on Webster Street. Once these panes have been spoken for, then five additional panes on the rear of the building on Manhattan Street will become available.
The sponsorships pay the costs to have each pane designed and installed.
Most recently an Art and Music Heritage pane has been sponsored by North Tonawanda vocalists Valentina Swierczynski Kozlowski and Nicholas DiVirglio, and North Tonawanda artists Robert Mangold and Len Rusin.
Also in progress are the Rand Family pane, designed by Beverly DiPalma and sponsored by the descendants of Benjamin Long Rand, the city's mayor from 1915 to 1918, and his wife, Kate Stanley Rand; and a third pane providing hours of operation and other information, sponsored in memory of Arlene Stocki McNair. Both are being processed at Pioneer Printing and will soon be delivered and installed.
The new panes will join the Richardson Boat Co. pane, which promotes the Erie Canal Exhibit inside the museum, sponsored by Luke Family members in honor of John T. and Louis J. Luke, master boat builders from 1875 to 1940; the Wurlitzer Co. promotional pane, which shows exhibits on display in the Wurlitzer Exhibit Hall in the museum, sponsored by the Grajek Family, in memory of Stanley A. Grajek; the Pan-American Exposition pane, sponsored by Dean Kopcho; as well as the first two informational panes, one sponsored by Bruce Miner of Sarasota, Fla., and the other by James A. Maglisceau on behalf of the North Tonawanda High School Class of 1961.
The museum is located in the former G.C. Murphy five-and-dime store, which is a former retail site lined with plate glass windows.
Donna Zellner Neal, the museum's volunteer executive director, has said that covering the museum's big plate glass windows would protect and preserve exhibits from damaging sunlight and ultraviolet rays, which are a danger to the historical collection. The panels also provide information to members of the public who may not be aware of the museum.
"We want people to know we are not an antiques store," Neal said when the project was started in October.
The museum is closed to the public for the winter and will reopen on March 15 for its used book sale. Until then, passers-by are invited to watch the developing panes project and learn more about the exhibits inside the museum.
Opportunities remain available for schools, businesses, families and individuals to sponsor panes on a number of topics, including industry, military, school and church heritage, as well as other exhibit-related panes.
Information on the program is available on the museum's website, www.nthistorymuseum.org.

We were on that ship less than a year before you and experienced NONE of what you described. It's kind of a shame you missed out on a great time at Great Stirrup Cay. My kid loved the water slide and wave runner. The food at the tropical barbecue party was actually damned good, especially the salads.
Sorry you had a bad experience. Don't let it turn you off to cruising, you can try a different line.
Sorry you did not enjoy every aspect of your cruise. Try a different cruise line. Different lines cater to different clients. for fun you can try this quiz to see what is the rite cruise line or you. http://cruiseline.com/advice/how-to-book/pick-a-line/quiz-what-cruise-line-is-right-for-you.
It can take a few to find the one you like, as you get older your choice od cruise lines can also change.
When a cruise gets off to a bad start, it is difficult to recover from... especially for a first timer who took a leap of faith often based on glowing reviews of how wonderful cruising is. That said, booking with a company like Priceline may seem to be a good deal, but they are not in the cruise business. The agents there don't really understand the ins and outs of cruising (e.g., when to book beverage packages). They work on throughput; the quicker they can get one customer booked and on to the next, the better.
I hope you try cruising again. We've cruised for years. We've had great cruises and also not-so-great ones but we have not allowed those less than stellar experiences keep us from booking again. We just move along to another line and try again.
I was so sorry to read that you had such a bad experience on your first time cruising. Please don't judge cruising by this one experience. It is hard to believe that a Cruise Line cannot give a small bar of soap in each stateroom. But, I know that it happens. And then cruiselines wonder why they have such a problem with the norovirus. I suggest that you try an another cruise line and see if you experience is different. Good luck and be sure to post again if you choose to give cruising a second chance.

The goal of the Christmas Basket Drive is to raise $20,000 to buy 1,000 Christmas meals for qualifying residents of Corinth and Alcorn County.
"This holiday season is truly the time of giving and to help others who are truly in need," said Drive Chairman Steve Icardi. "And we're asking people to reach deep into their pockets to help out. The level of need is great."

Donations are currently being accepted, and the fund will continue until Christmas Day.
Applications for the Christmas baskets are now being accepted at the Daily Corinthian office on Harper Road. They will also be printed inside the newspaper for the next week. Applications can be submitted inside the front entrance of the Daily Corinthian office during the weekdays until 4 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 30. The office will be closed for Thanksgiving.

I hear it over and over again from just about everyone I talk to about getting organized. "Help me get rid of my paper clutter. Help me organize the papers I have so I can find them when I need them." What I have found is that people think this is much harder to do than it actually is. Often they have such difficulty overcoming their inertia that they never even attempt to organize their papers. And once they add in the virtual clutter on their computers just the thought of organizing makes them reach for the aspirin.
Well, help has arrived. It really doesn't have to be difficult and it all starts with two very important rules:
- Minimize the paper clutter you get
- Minimize the paper clutter you keep
The tips laid out below are divided into how to deal with real and virtual clutter. But they all begin with the notion that the fewer papers you accrue in the first place, and the fewer you hold on to, the easier it will be to organize what remains.
So, not to sound like I am lecturing, but, again, it all starts with collecting less paper clutter in the first place and then keeping less of what you've collected.
Five Ways to Tame Paper Clutter
- Trash it. Have a trash can in the room you open your mail in and in your home office. As paper comes in, consider whether you really need to keep it. Err on the side of tossing or shredding it, and move on. Keeping a trash can at arm's-length is key to making this happen.
- Active vs Inactive. Make two piles or folders: one for active items (bills, invitations), the other for inactive items (paid bills, receipts), as an initial way to sort papers. Papers you'll need to refer back to soon qualify as active. Papers you will or might need to refer to sometime in the future qualify as inactive.
- 10 Files. You need to develop a simple system to contain your active files. I recommend ONLY 10 files:
- Family Information
- Medical
- Insurance
- Financial/Money
- Legal
- Home
- School
- Work
- Taxes
This may seem radical to many of you, but give it a try and see if it works.
4. Monthly Trash-it Time. Once a month (put it on the calendar), for 30 minutes, go through all of your files and piles and trash and shred what you do not need. Rule of thumb: If you haven't needed it for three months, you probably never will.
5. YUNK. Create a YUNK box. "YUNK" stands for YoU Never Know and is a place to keep "you never know items" that you may need to save "just in case." The YUNK box will help prevent you from throwing out something you might need.
Five Ways to Manage Digital Clutter
Trash it. Whether it's email or files, if you do not need to keep it on your computer delete it.
- Sync it. Get a system that can sync your critical items (calendar, contacts and email) so that they are up to date on your laptop, iPad or cell phone.
- File it. Set up a simple filing system in your email program and one for your files and stick to them. Much like paper filing systems, I think you should limit each of these systems to no more than 10 folders. Also, name your files in a way that makes them easy to find or search for.
- YUNK. You Never Know Files should be present for your email and regular files. Same principle applies here -- and don't forget to periodically delete what you no longer need.
- Monthly Sort. Once a month (calendar it), sort through the most offending items -- for many this is the mail in your in-box. Delete, file and organize to keep things in control.
So you see, once you get into the habit of keeping only what you need, setting up a simple system to manage what you keep, and then regularly sorting it, you'll be able to keep your paper and virtual clutter in control with minimal effort. It does not have to be hard or painful! I promise. I would love to hear any other tips or tricks you have to add to the list above.
