(AP) ? The World Trade Organization ruled in favor of the U.S. on Friday in a long-standing trade dispute over allegations China unfairly imposed anti-dumping tariffs that restricted American poultry exports.

The U.S. appeal to the WTO dates back to 2011 after China said that America had engaged in dumping and had imposed tariffs on imports of so-called "broiler products," which include most chicken products with the exception of live chickens. China said U.S. chicken producers benefited from subsidies and were exporting their goods at unfairly low prices.

Countries are allowed to impose punitive tariffs to offset both practices, but U.S. officials claimed China did not follow proper procedures when it imposed them in September 2010. The U.S. also said tens of thousands of jobs were affected ? China was one of the two top markets for U.S. chicken exports before the tariffs.

The ruling found that China breached its WTO obligations and recommended it comply with WTO rules. However it did not specify the actions China must take. China is entitled to a period of time to comply with the rules and can also appeal the ruling.

U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman said the ruling was a victory that he hopes will discourage further violations that hurt American exporters.

"WTO members must use trade remedies strictly in accordance with their commitments," he said.

In a statement issued late Friday night, China's Ministry of Commerce said the panel report upheld some Chinese claims, and that Beijing will "seriously" evaluate the document and follow up in accordance with the procedures for settling disputes.

The chicken dispute is part of a larger set of strains in trade relations between the world's two largest economies.

The U.S. runs a larger trade deficit with China than with any other country in the world. The gap widened by 15.6 percent to $27.9 billion for the month of May alone ? the most recent figures available. That was more than half of the total U.S. trade deficit of $45 billion with the whole world for that month and close to an all-time monthly high set in November. So far this year, the U.S. deficit with China is running 3 percent higher than last year.

One of the biggest disputes with China is over its currency. The U.S. accuses Beijing of under-valuing the yuan to gain a trade advantage by making its exports cheaper to drive up domestic growth rates. U.S. officials are pressing China to let the yuan exchange rate float freely against the dollar and shift more to an economy based on domestic consumption instead of relying on exports.

They are also urging China to enforce intellectual property rights and roll back subsidies for Chinese state-owned enterprises.

Siva Yam, president of the U.S.-China Chamber of Commerce which primarily represents U.S. companies in China, said the WTO decision will not have much significance for the larger bilateral relationship and that it would continue to be fraught with trade disputes.

"I do not believe it will change the equation," he said. "U.S. and China relations will continue to be up and down. ... I think the relationship will become more tense in the future, but not only because of this."

He said the U.S. does not export much to China. But because China is one of the only markets in the world for chicken feet and internal chicken organs, it was seeking to gain leverage to counter U.S. dumping complaints against Beijing. He predicted China would now look for other levers to strike back against the U.S.

American Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said agricultural exports are a strong and growing component of U.S. exports. Farm exports in fiscal year 2012 reached $135.8 billion and supported 1 million American jobs, he said, adding that more than $23 billion worth of those agricultural products went to China alone.

"But China's prohibitive duties on broiler products were followed by a steep decline in exports to China - and now we look forward to seeing China's market for broiler products restored," Vilsack said in a statement.

Five Things You Should Know on Saturday's game at Philadelphia Union

The Chicago Fire will look for redemption for May?s back-to-back defeats at the hands of the Philadelphia Union when they close out the regular season series at PPL Park Saturday night (6:30pm CT on My50).

Five Things You Should Know About Tonight?s match?

Sean Johnson Back Between the Sticks

Fresh off winning the CONCACAF Gold Cup with the U.S. Men?s National Team, Fire starting goalkeeper Sean Johnson makes his return to the Men in Red Saturday night in Philadelphia.

Johnson?s return comes after understudy Paolo Tornaghi performed admirably, making two very key saves in last Saturday?s 1-1 draw away to Houston.

LISTEN: What did Sean Johnson do with his Gold Cup medal?

Despite going back to the bench, Tornaghi was complimentary of Johnson?s month away and said the experience gained as part of the regional championship team will help the duo?s competition going forward.

Bakary Soumare Returns to Philly

Though he didn?t play much for the Philadelphia Union, Fire defender Bakary Soumare makes his first return to PPL Park since his trade return to Chicago last May.

The Malian international made just four appearances in less than a season for Philadelphia, three of which came against the Fire. Before joining the Fire on May 24, Soumare played in the Union?s back-to-back 1-0 defeats of the Men in Red that month.

Do You Anangon??

On Thursday the club announced that new Designated Player Juan Luis Anangon??had officially been added to the Fire roster after receiving his P1 visa and international transfer certificate.

But since his arrival last week, Fire head coach Frank Klopas has said that despite his DP tag, the Ecuardorian forward would still have to earn his place on the field.

EDITORIAL: The Designated Player Question

So will he make his debut tonight? Anangon??had his first full week with the team this week but?is said to have experienced tightness in his hamstring?leading up to Saturday night?s game. We shall see.

Chris Rolfe meets Ante Razov

Should he appear in tonight?s game, Fire second all-time leading goal scorer Chris Rolfe will equal the all competitions appearance number of the club?s first all-time leading goal scorer Ante Razov at 196 games.

Having racked up 55 goals and 24 assists, Chris Rolfe has no doubt done well in his seven seasons with the Men in Red but tonight?s mark points to just how good Ante Razov was as a goal scorer for the Fire. The retired forward sits firmly in first place on the club?s goal scoring charts, a clear 40 goals ahead of Rolfe at 95 on the club?s all-time list.

Tonight?s Pre-Game Features?

As mentioned above, coverage for tonight?s game begins at 6:30pm CT on My50 with pre-game segments on Sean Johnson?s return to the Fire, Mike Magee talking his first MLS All-Star experience, interviews with Patrick Nyarko and Frank Klopas and former Fire forward Josh Wolff talking his memories from the 2000 U.S. Open Cup semifinal win over LA.

The iPhone Blog: Google Catalogs for iPad next to be closed down, turns a final page on August 15

Seems not a day goes by at the moment without news of another Google app shutting its doors, and today it's the turn of Catalogs. While the service shall live on, the iPad app will turn its final page on August 15 alongside the Android tablet application. Google Catalogs will be available to access still via the browser, so at least you shouldn't lose any of your stuff in the process.

Catalogs was perhaps one of Google's more niche iOS apps, but it certainly scratched a certain itch for some folks. Google's seemingly never-ending streamlining of their mobile apps has seen services such as Latitude, Local and Shopper all incorporated into other, more used Google apps. Catalogs perhaps was a step too far in that respect. As with all the apps Google has retired, there will be some disappointed users sad to see it go. Are you one of them?

Goldman blinks but no relief for Wall Street's commodity traders

By David Sheppard and Susan Thomas

NEW YORK/LONDON (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs' effort to diffuse intensifying pressure over its commodity business by throwing open its metal warehouse doors likely comes too late to head off further scrutiny of Wall Street's commodity trade.

Two weeks of escalating criticism of banks that own commodity assets and trade raw materials has shaken executives and the industry, with little sign of the pressure relenting. Britain's financial watchdog is considering its own investigation of metals warehouses, sources said, and two lawmakers questioned whether power regulators were tough enough.

Years of growing frustration over long waiting times and rising prices at metals warehouses across the world spilled into Washington this month, with lawmakers questioning why financial banks are so deeply involved in commercial activity and metal users including American brewer MillerCoors calling for a clamp-down.

In its first major effort to appease consumers, Goldman offered on Wednesday to immediately swap aluminium for any end-users holding metal at its Metro International warehouses, allowing them to avoid year-long waits and high premiums. It also refuted the notion that it was causing a shortage of metal, saying none of its customers had yet taken up the offer.

But the effort met with a sceptical response among some traders who said the bank had failed to address the big financial incentives paid by warehouses to attract metal into their facilities, which critics say have stoked prices.

They also took issue with the bank's decision to limit the offer to end-users, excluding the hedge funds and other traders who are believed to account for most of the stockpiled metal.

"It sounds to me like they're offering ice in the winter," said U.S. anti-trust lawyer Robert Bernstein, a partner at New York-based Eaton & Van Winkle LLP, who works on behalf of U.S. copper fabricators.

The move is the latest effort by Wall Street's biggest banks to fend off a barrage of criticism of their role in the raw materials supply chain, where they do everything from stockpiling metal for clients to shipping gasoline to New York.

Last week JPMorgan Chase & Co said it was getting out of the physical commodity business, quitting a sector it paid billions of dollars over five years to build.

But Goldman's Chief Operating Officer Gary Cohn defended the bank's role in commodities and J Aron, its commodities trading arm, calling it a "core" business.

"Commodity hedging is a core competence and one of the most important things we do in the firm and our clients really need us to be in that business," Cohn, who once ran J Aron, said on CNBC. "We are staying in the commodity hedging business."

It is unclear whether the measures will ease pressure from Washington, where a handful of lawmakers are pressing regulators including the Federal Reserve and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to bring banks to account.

DOUBTS

Goldman's move will intensify scrutiny of other merchants and banks, including Glencore Xstrata and JPMorgan Chase & Co that have bought warehouses in the past three years, and also the London Metals Exchange itself, which is in the midst of its third effort to resolve the issue.

The lengthy waits to receive metal shipments are "a systemic problem which goes broader than Metro International," said American Beverage Association spokesman Christopher Gindlesperger.

In London, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is weighing whether to launch a probe of the London Metal Exchange (LME) warehousing system, an about-face from the past few years when the agency said it did not have authority to delve beyond derivative markets into the physical trade.

In practice industrial clients needing metal sometimes have to queue for up to a year while warehouse companies - increasingly owned by banks or trading houses - benefit from rents they charge during the wait or traders focus on using metal in finance deals rather than providing it to clients.

One source at a competing warehousing company was critical of Goldman's offer: "If they had said we're going to deliver out faster, that would be a different story."

WHEN SEPTEMBER COMES

While the commotion over commodities trade has focused most intensely on the warehousing issue, lawmakers are also looking more broadly at whether banks should be allowed in the commercial business of crude oil cargoes and power plants.

While welcoming Goldman's effort as "great news", Democrat CFTC commissioner Bart Chilton said the "the larger issue of banks owning physical commodities, warehousing and delivery mechanisms" remained unresolved.

After two weeks of increasingly frenetic activity and vocal debate, many industry officials expect the din to subside during August, typically a slow month for the markets and also a five-week hiatus for legislators in Washington.

But it may again reach fever pitch in September, with Senator Sherrod Brown expected to call Federal Reserve and bank officials to another hearing of the powerful banking committee.

That month also marks the end of a five-year grace period granted to Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to comply with commercial banking regulations after they gave up their independence at the height of the financial crisis.

While Goldman has already sold its power plants and trades little physical oil, Morgan Stanley faces an unknown outcome for its massive global oil business, its 49 percent share in oil tanker firm Heidmar and its cherished U.S. logistics and pipelines business TransMontaigne.

Although the banks say they should be allowed to trade and invest in commodity businesses more broadly than their rivals because of an exemption granted to investment banks in a 1999 law, it is unclear how much the Fed will allow.

The Fed announced earlier this month that it was "reviewing" the landmark 2003 decision that first allowed banks to trade physical commodities, a shock decision that raised the spectre of even deeper restrictions than banks had been bracing for. It is unclear when that review may conclude.

"The banks went a little bit too far with the Fed's authorization to get into the commercial side of commodities business and I think that the Senate is more than shocked about what they saw when they started investigating into this situation," said Richard Bove, a veteran banking analyst currently working as an equity research analyst for Garden City, New York-based Rafferty Capital Markets LLC.

"I doubt that any bank will have any, if you will, commercial commodities business in 12 to 18 months from now."

OPENING THE DOOR

Separately on Wednesday, two Democratic senators questioned whether a landmark $410 million settlement with JPMorgan earlier this week over alleged power market manipulation had included "adequate refunds to defrauded ratepayers."

The penalty is the second-largest ever by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), but is "equal to roughly 1.3 percent of JPMorgan's 2012 profits", Senators Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey, both of Massachusetts, wrote to the FERC chairman. They also questioned why JPMorgan executives were not punished.

The crack-down is opening opportunities for less-restricted competitors, particularly foreign banks not overseen by the Fed, potentially leading to the biggest reshuffling of market power since the 1990s era of the "Wall Street refiners."

Brazil's Grupo BTG Pactual SA, the privately held bank run by billionaire Andr? Esteves, is forging ahead with a $300 million-plus expansion plan to create a global powerhouse.

Just months after hiring former Noble Group Chief Executive Ricardo Leiman to lead the drive, BTG has recruited nearly a dozen traders, managers and analysts in London, Geneva and New York to cover everything from freight to grains to natural gas, according to headhunters and a source familiar with the plans.

"From a regulatory perspective they may try to become like Macquarie, a representative of a foreign bank," said Peter Henry, senior consultant at Commodity Search Partners in New York. "There's an angle there."

Tacos Mexico's Chorizo Taco: One of Our 100 Favorite Dishes of 2013

No. 62: Chorizo taco from Tacos Mexico

Street vendors are an inextricable part of New York City food culture; the tradition of eating from a roadside stand, rooted in hot dog vendors and gyro carts, blossomed into today's trendy food truck boom. One of our favorite local street eats purveyors is the Tacos Mexico lonchera, a truck that parks nightly on West Fourth Street and Grove. Inside, meats sizzle on a flat top while the owners assemble burritos, quesadillas, and tortas. But the real stars, as the name suggests, are the tacos, which come piled with griddled meats. We're partial to the chorizo variety, a piquant chopped sausage that drools juice into its corn tortilla. It's topped with crisp iceberg lettuce, cilantro, and biting onions, and we always say yes to hot sauce and guacamole, the latter of which is really more like a refreshing avocado-tinged salsa.

Later this year, we'll pen our Best of New York issue, our annual love letter to what's great in this town. When that paper hits the streets, you'll find our picks for the very best this city has to offer when it comes to dozens of cuisines, restaurants, dishes, and drinks.

Texas A&M DL Polo Manukainiu dies in car crash

11:29 a.m. CDT, July 30, 2013

Texas A&M officials said Tuesday that defensive lineman Polo Manukainiu died Monday in an automobile accident in Albuquerque, N.M.

Manukainiu was a 19-year-old redshirt freshman. Also killed in the crash were Gaius Vaenuku, an incoming member of the Utah football team, and Andrew Uhatafe. All three were from the town of Euless, Texas.

The driver of the vehicle and another passenger, whose names have not been released, were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

New Mexico police say Manukainiu was a passenger in a 2002 Toyota Sequoia traveling southbound on U.S. 550. The vehicle drifted off of the road, the driver overcorrected, and the vehicle rolled several times.

Manukainiu and Uhatafe were ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene. Vaenuku was transported from the scene but was pronounced dead in the ambulance.

Officials say alcohol wasn't involved.

Community reacts to Pope's statement about gay community

The local community weighs in on what the Pope's recent statements about gays and women mean for the Catholic church.

After leaving Word Youth Day in Brazil, Pope Francis gave a statement about gays in the church. He told press on the flight from Brazil to Rome he would not judge priests for being gay.

"If a person is gay and accepts the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge them," Pope Francis said.

He also said women should still not be allowed to become priests, but their role within in the church should be more important.

Donna Red Wing, the executive director of One Iowa, an LGBT organization, found the pope's statement surprising.

"Pope Francis' statements on gay priests was astounding," Red Wing said. "He asked the question why he should judge and said that gay people should be included. This is a step forward for this denomination and certainly for the pope."

Terry Hernandez, the executive director of the Chrysalis Foundation, which focuses on women's needs, thinks it's not an improvement for women in the church.

"For women I think that was another step backwards," Hernandez said. "It seems to send another signal that women all over the world are not considered to be equal."

While the Pope said women should have greater roles in the church, Hernandez doesn't see it that way.

"So many of the issues that prevent women from becoming priests are in those antiquated beliefs about women being inferior," he said. "And that's clearly not the case."

While the Catholic Church's policy still states homosexuality is a sin, Red Wing sees his opinion as a turning point for the gay community.

"Maybe this is a door opening in the Catholic Church and one that will allow all God's children in," Red Wing said.

EXCLUSIVE: Twitter rape abuse victim left terrified by late night 'harassment' at her home

Caroline Criado-Perez faced a deluge of vile threats after successfully campaigning for Jane Austen's face to appear on British ?10 notes.

A man has now been arrested after Ms Criado-Perez faced "up to 50 threats of rape and death an hour", Scotland Yard has confirmed.

The shaken young writer, who was told sick Twitter users would hunt her down and rape her, was left terrified last night after she disturbed at her home.

Ms Criado-Perez said she was in bed after an "exhausting day" ? having suffered a fresh wave of abuse following the arrest of the 21-year-old male.

At around 10.30pm she said she "jumped out of her skin" when the door bell rang.

"My heart just went crazy and the adrenaline just shot into my body," she told express.co.uk.

"I had received loads of new abuse online, and my reaction last night made me realise how terrified and on edge I am."

Ms Criado-Perez said she was horrified to discover the late night caller was a "grossly insensitive" female journalist from a London newspaper.

"I was absolutely furious that a journalist could be so insensitive as to come to my house without having got permission, having gone through a website to find my address," she said.

"With everything that has been going on it was terrifying to think someone could track me down in that way."

Ms Criado-Perez said she will now be making a formal complaint to the Press Complaints Commission.

The campaigner said MP Stella Creasy will also be issuing a complaint on her behalf to the editor of the London newspaper, she added.

The Labour MP for Walthamstow has already voiced her support for the writer, branding what she has had to go through as "not only disgusting, but criminal."

Todat, Twitter has revealed it plans to include a button for reporting abuse within every tweet, amid the growing furore over the online threats.

A campaign in Ms Criado-Perez's support has already called on the site to introduce the button and received thousands of signatures as well as gathering support from MPs and celebrities.

Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary joined in the public outrage, demanding Twitter take action against the vile abuse.

In a letter to Tony Wang, the general manager of Twitter in the UK, she slammed the social media giant's response to the ?disgraceful, appalling and unacceptable? comments made about Ms Criado-Perez.

She wrote: ?Despite the scale and seriousness of these threats, the official response from Twitter continues to be extremely weak," she said.

?But social media platforms also have a responsibility for the platform they give users. And in particular they have a responsibility not to tolerate this kind of abuse, rape threats and potentially criminal behaviour.?

She added: ?The response by Twitter has clearly been inadequate and fails not only Caroline, but many more women and girls who have faced similar abuse on your social network.

Mr Wang said that the company takes online abuse seriously.

Afghan eyes Iran deal to boost trade to Europe, India

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan hopes an agreement with Iran to use one of its ports will help boost exports to Europe and India and reduce its dependence on neighboring Pakistan's ports for trade.

Iran will allow land-locked Afghanistan to use the port to export goods like fruit and carpets to India and other countries, according to the spokesman for Afghanistan's Ministry of Commerce and Industries.

"We want to export to central Asia and Europe, India wants to use the port to send goods to Afghanistan," Wahidullah Ghazikhel told Reuters.

Afghanistan currently relies on the port of Karachi in Pakistan for the bulk of its sea exports.

But that leaves traders vulnerable to political disputes between the United States and Pakistan, which has closed its border with Afghanistan at least twice over recent years, cutting U.S. military supplies to Afghanistan, as well as routine trade.

"If the Pakistani government's relationship with the United States goes bad, this impacts our traders," Ghazikhel said.

In the most recent disruption on the Afghan-Pakistani border, private transport companies were banned from moving Afghan goods to Karachi, delaying containers for about three months.

Not only did the contents, including milk and eggs, spoil, but companies were also charged a total of $10 million for renting storage space for their delayed containers, he said.

"We are very interested in exporting to European countries and working on other ways (that avoid Pakistan's port)," the spokesman said.

Millions of dollars have been invested in companies that aim to export "premium" fruit such as pomegranate, prized by the health-conscious in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Afghanistan also exports many other types of fresh and dried fruit, saffron and carpets. But although it sees agriculture as a driving force in its economy, Afghanistan continues to rely on imports for most of its food.

Report: Texas Rangers could consider trading Joe Nathan

CLEVELAND ? As the Rangers try to get creative to find a bat and upgrade the team, they?ve had some internal brainstorming sessions that include trading the most efficient closer in MLB history: Joe Nathan.

According to a report from FOX Sports? Ken Rosenthal, the Rangers have discussed the idea as a way to leverage other contending teams for offensive help.

The idea would be that if a contending team was desperate enough for late-inning help, it might be willing to surrender offensive depth that would help the Rangers. The Rangers, who could have pitchers Colby Lewis, Matt Harrison and Neftali Feliz, coming back from the DL in the next month could have a surplus of relief pitching. Harrison or Lewis could push Alexi Ogando back to the bullpen and Feliz will return as a reliever.

According to the report, teams including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox would all be among those interested in late-inning relief. It is unlikely, however, the Rangers would consider moving Nathan to a fellow AL contender. The Dodgers, with five outfielders, could be a potential match if they were willing to give up somebody like Andre Ethier.

UFC on Fox 8?s Three Stars: Robbie Lawler among the fighters who stood out

UFC on Fox 8 was filled with split decisions and a fight that UFC president Dana White trashed. However, there were some standout performances. Who were the Three Stars?

No. 1 star -- Robbie Lawler: Of all the fighters who joined the UFC after Strikeforce folded, who did you expect to really shine? It's unlikely Robbie Lawler was on the top five of your list as he was just 2-3 in his five fights before returning to the UFC. He made a complete turnaround, knocking out Josh Koscheck in February before putting a beatdown on Robbie Voelker on Saturday night.

No. 2 star -- Melvin Guillard: Riding a two-fight losing streak, Guillard knew he had to win to keep his job with the UFC. Guillard delivered. He knocked out Mac Danzig with enough power to earn a Knockout of the Night bonus and pick up some job security.

No. 3 star -- Demetrious Johnson: The flyweight champion held onto his belt and convinced anyone who didn't believe in his abilities with a fifth-round submission of John Moraga. Before that submission with an armbar, Johnson beat up on Moraga for 23 minutes and 43 seconds, showing why he holds the belt.

Who stood out from Saturday's fights for you? Speak up on Facebook and Twitter.

Justin Amash Amendment To Stop NSA Data Collection Voted Down In House

WASHINGTON -- The House of Representatives on Wednesday evening narrowly defeated an amendment from Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) meant to halt the National Security Agency's bulk collection of phone record data.

"We're here today for a very simple reason: to defend the Fourth Amendment, to defend the privacy of each and every American," Amash said as he introduced his measure. Lawmakers' votes, he said, would answer one simple question, "Do we oppose the suspicionless collection of every American's phone records?"

On Wednesday, at least, the answer was no. The House voted 217-205 to defeat the amendment after intense last-minute lobbying from the White House and the NSA.

Democrats voted for the amendment by a 111-to-83 margin. Republicans, meanwhile, split 134 to 93 against it.

The closeness of the vote, the first on the surveillance programs since the revelations of NSA leaker Edward Snowden, gave civil liberties groups like the American Civil Liberties Union, which has been a vigorous critic of that surveillance, some reason for optimism that future reforms will be possible.

Amash's measure, offered as an amendment to the Department of Defense appropriations bill, would have prevented the government from invoking Section 215 of the Patriot Act to scoop up phone call metadata -- information about whom people are calling and when, but not the content of the calls -- unless the government had a reasonable suspicion that a specific target was involved in terrorism.

While the bill was co-sponsored by liberals, including Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Amash warned that "opponents of this amendment will use the same tactic that every government throughout history has used to justify its violation of rights: fear." And the measure's foes -- even those within his own party -- did not disappoint.

Arguing that phone records collection helps protect a "nation under siege," Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said, "Passing this amendment takes us back to September 10."

Pointing to a Wall Street Journal editorial that came out Wednesday, Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) contended that passing the amendment would reward Snowden.

"The only people who have benefited from the revelation of classified information ... the only result is that those who are engaged in Islamic jihad will have been benefited," said Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.). "Those that we seek to protect have not."

Bachmann's position on the bill, identical to that of the Obama administration, showed the strange bedfellows that Snowden's bombshell leaks have created.

Although Amash's amendment was defeated, civil liberties advocates found something to cheer in the closeness of the vote. Just two years ago, the House voted by a comfortable 250-153 margin to reauthorize the Patriot Act, which the administration uses to justify its phone metadata collection. On Wednesday, by contrast, a swing of just seven votes would have put Amash's amendment over the top.

Back then, said Conyers, "we didn't know about it."

Conyers also noted that this time, on the Democratic side, members up to and including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) pressured members to vote against the Amash amendment.

In 2005, Pelosi was stridently opposed to the section of the Patriot Act under debate now. She called the provisions being reauthorized a "massive invasion of privacy." But on Wednesday, she voted against reining in the Patriot Act.

A sign of how dimly the Democratic leadership viewed Amash's amendment could be seen in an email from the office of House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.). The email described the sweeping NSA program approvingly as merely collecting phone records "that pertain to persons who may be in communication with terrorist groups but are not already subject to an investigation."

Conyers said the lobbying "was heavy. They were very worried about it."

But, he added, "the fact that they won this narrowly means they still are worried -- because this thing isn't over yet. This is just the beginning."

This story has been updated with reaction after the House vote.

Egypt braces for day of rival rallies

CAIRO (AP) ? Political allies of Egypt's military lined up behind its call for huge rallies Friday to show support for the country's top general, pushing toward a collision with Islamist opponents demanding the return of the nation's ousted president.

But there was widespread uncertainty over the army's intentions ? and worry that the military is whipping up a dangerous populist fervor.

Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who ousted Egypt's elected president on July 3, took many by surprise when he announced this week that he wanted people to take to the streets in large numbers on Friday to give him a popular mandate to take the necessary measures against "violence and terrorism."

El-Sissi's call was widely interpreted as a prelude to a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group from which the ousted Mohammed Morsi hails, and other Islamists who have been camped out for about a month at sit-ins in Cairo and elsewhere calling for Morsi's reinstatement.

That has hiked fears of a violent confrontation. Islamists also plan pro-Morsi rallies on Friday, raising the possibility of street clashes, as has happened repeatedly in recent weeks.

Islamists on Thursday lashed out at the military, saying el-Sissi's call signals a plan to crush what they insist are their peaceful protests. The spiritual leader of the Brotherhood, Mohammed Badie, hiked up his rhetoric against el-Sissi, saying ousting Morsi was a worse crime than if the general had destroyed the Kaaba, Islam's holiest site ? an attempt to fire up the religious fervor in the pro-Morsi camp ahead of Friday's rallies.

On the other side, state TV and pro-military private networks were doing their part to back el-Sissi: They announced that the wildly popular mini-series shown during the current holy month of Ramadan will not be aired Friday to ensure that large numbers go out onto the streets. Some of them were airing patriotic songs.

Still unclear is what exactly el-Sissi meant by seeking a mandate against violence ? and how far the military would go. The most explosive move would be if troops were to eventually try to clear major Islamist sit-ins. The largest has been outside Cairo's Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque, where crowds some nights have grown to tens of thousands.

A more limited move would be for troops to take tougher action against any sign of Morsi supporters engaged in violence. Some Islamist protesters have been seen with weapons ? though their opponents have been as well, and each accuses the other of sparking clashes. Another possibility is that the military would detain Brotherhood and other Islamist leaders who already face arrest warrants.

On Thursday military spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali said el-Sissi's call was "not a threat to any specific political group." He said the military respects peaceful protests.

But he said any violence or terrorism will be "dealt with decisively and with force" ? signaling a likely tough approach on any sign of violence, which Islamists' opponents have largely blamed on the pro-Morsi camp.

He said a national reconciliation conference and a system of transitional justice, called for by interim military-backed President Adly Mansour, are the only way out of Egypt's current standoff.

The military dropped leaflets on Morsi supporters outside the Rabaah al-Adawiya Mosque, trying to reassure them about their safety.

"We are not against you so don't be against us. Don't raise your weapons in the face of your brothers, don't destroy, don't burn, and let us all be together against killing, violence and terrorism," the leaflets said.

What confounded many, however, is why el-Sissi felt he needed a popular cover if he only intends to stop violence. As the military's chief and defense minister, el-Sissi would have been within his rights to preserve security.

For some, even in the anti-Morsi camp, his call raised suspicion that the military will take extra-ordinary measures in a crackdown, highlighting worries over past abuses by troops. Some saw it as a sign el-Sissi was trying to gauge his appeal for a possible presidential run.

Mustafa Shawky, a leftist activist who was among the early voices that articulated the demands of the 2011 uprising that ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak, spoke of being caught between worries about "military fascism" and "religious fascism" ? referring to Islamist rule under Morsi.

While the military was needed to remove Morsi, he said, el-Sissi's call for the rallies undermines the army's stance that the ouster was not a coup.

"It is a mistake not to see the mandate he sought as one to kill," Shawky told The Associated Press. The atmosphere of rallying behind the military against the Islamist could become "a cover for serious violations," he warned.

April 6, an influential youth group that played a key role in the anti-Mubarak uprising, also expressed its surprise at el-Sissi's call, saying the army doesn't need a popular mandate to act against security threats. But it said the army should "eradicate all signs of arming and violence in a way governed by the law and without exceptional measures."

Suspicion of the military's intentions is rooted in the nearly 17 months during which it directly ruled the country after Mubarak's ouster. Activists blame it for human rights violations, including the torture of detainees and trying civilians before military tribunals. A repeat of that, even on a small scale, is likely to inject tension into or unravel the uneasy alliance between liberal groups and the military.

The military has been the dominant force in Egypt's politics since the 1952 coup that toppled the monarchy. It has since given Egypt all of its presidents except Morsi, the nation's first freely elected leader, and wielded vast influence from behind the scenes.

Made up heavily of conscripts and with a history of four wars against Israel, the army also holds a strong base of support among Egyptians, many of whom see it as a pillar of the country's identity.

El-Sissi has tapped into the strong pro-military sentiments and the deep frustration with Morsi's one-year rule. The state media, always quick to revere the strongman of the day, has framed his call for rallies in glorious terms and raised its already high anti-Brotherhood rhetoric.

On Thursday, Tamarod ? the youth group behind the wave of protests that led to the military coup against Morsi ? urged Egyptians to participate in Friday's demonstrations, as did the main anti-Morsi opposition grouping, the liberal National Salvation Front.

"Whoever wants to genuinely complete the revolution must be out in the squares and in all the provinces," said Mahmoud Badr, spokesman for Tamarod.

Clashes have frequently erupted between pro-Morsi protesters and authorities or Morsi opponents. At the same time, attacks by Islamic militants in the Sinai Peninsula have surged. More than 180 people have been killed since Morsi's fall.

On Thursday, two border guards ? an officer and a soldier ? were killed and three others wounded when suspected militants fired rockets at their checkpoint in the Sinai town of Sheikh Zuweyid town, a stronghold of radicals.

The Obama administration gave el-Sissi a major boost on the eve of the rallies.

It is planning to tell lawmakers Thursday that it won't declare Morsi's overthrow a coup, according to U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plans with the press. That determination allows the United States to continue providing $1.5 billion in annual military and economic aid.

Still, ahead of Friday's rallies, the White House said it was "concerned by any rhetoric that inflames tensions and could possible lead to violence" and urged Egyptian security forces to exercise "maximum restraint."

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Thursday urged the "interim authorities to end arbitrary arrests and other reported forms of harassment" and said that "Morsi and Muslim Brotherhood leaders currently in detention should be released or have their cases reviewed transparently, without delay."

Islamists, meanwhile, lashed out at the military as they geared up for their own rallies Friday.

A prominent pro-Brotherhood cleric, the Qatar-based Sheik Youssef el-Qaradawi, called on soldiers and officers in the military "not to listen to el-Sissi's commands ... Don't kill your brother."

In a speech aired on Al-Jazeera's Egypt affiliate, he called el-Sissi' message "an incitement to divide the Egyptian people" by labeling some as "terrorists."

Badie, the spiritual leader of the Brotherhood, denounced el-Sissi as a "traitor" and urged him to repent.

"I swear by God that what el-Sissi did in Egypt is more criminal than if he had carried an axe and demolished the holy Kaaba stone by stone," Badie said in a weekly speech. The Kaaba is the cube-shaped shrine in the Saudi city of Mecca that Muslims worldwide face in their daily prayers.

At least nine die in Cairo violence, two killed in Sinai

By Asma Alsharif and Tom Perry

CAIRO (Reuters) - Nine people were killed in Cairo on Tuesday in clashes between opponents and Islamist supporters of Egypt's deposed President Mohamed Mursi, state-run media reported, keeping the most populous Arab nation in turmoil.

The violence broke out before dawn near a Brotherhood protest at Cairo University, where Mursi supporters have been camped out since the army removed the Islamist politician from power on July 3 following protests against his rule.

The Brotherhood described it as an attack on peaceful protesters. Police sources said hundreds of Mursi supporters clashed with local residents, street vendors and others near the sit-in. They said gunshots were fired and stones were thrown.

With the Brotherhood vowing to stay in the streets, the bloodshed was a fresh example of the instability facing Egypt as the newly-installed interim government moves along an army-backed roadmap towards elections in about six months.

"The longer this standoff continues, the more hardened the positions become, and the more likelihood there is for violence, and oppression," said Yasser el-Shimy, Egypt analyst with the International Crisis Group.

"It needs an urgent political deal or compromise and unfortunately we are not seeing any signs of that."

The state-run Al-Ahram newspaper quoted a health ministry official as saying nine people had been killed and 33 wounded in the Cairo University clashes, while two wounded in fighting on Monday had died, bringing to 14 the number of deaths in violence between rival protesters in Egypt in the last two days.

At least 15 burned-out cars lay abandoned around the Cairo University area where the clashes took place. Splattered blood and broken glass disfigured the pavements near the shopping area where a traffic police station was set on fire.

Brotherhood members with sticks guarded the entrance to the protest site after the clashes calmed, while residents stopped cars on the road to Cairo University to check for weapons.

About 100 people have died in violence since the army deposed Mursi and replaced him with an interim administration led by the Adli Mansour, the head of the constitutional court. The Brotherhood accuses the army of orchestrating a coup.

It said on its website that seven "martyrs" had been killed overnight in two separate attacks on Mursi supporters, one at Cairo University and another during a march near a bigger round-the-clock sit-in in the north of the city.

BROTHERHOOD PROTESTERS "TERRORISED"

The Brotherhood vows to keep up its vigil until Mursi, held in an unknown location since the army ended his year in power as Egypt's first freely elected president, is reinstated.

"Leaders of the military coup continue to terrorize the peaceful protesters in Egypt," the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party said in a statement.

Mursi's family said on Monday it would sue the army for holding him without charge. The United States, which gives Egypt $1.3 billion a year in military aid, has called for Mursi's release and an end to "all politicized arrests and detentions".

Some residents near the Islamist movement's main protest area in Nasr City have filed a complaint with the public prosecutor asking for the removal of the protesters. A security source said on Tuesday a court was expected to rule on the case soon "to give the army a legal basis to end the protests".

The National Salvation Front, an alliance of liberal and leftist parties that supported Mursi's ouster, condemned what it described as attacks by Brotherhood supporters on protesters over the last three weeks.

In separate overnight clashes, a civilian and a policeman were killed in the lawless North Sinai region, near Egypt's borders with Israel and the Palestinian Gaza strip, where hardline Islamists have stepped up attacks on security forces.

A security vacuum following the 2011 uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak resulted in a surge of attacks in North Sinai. At least 20 people have been killed in militant violence there since Mursi's overthrow on July 3.

Israel has boosted its rocket defenses near its southern border with Egypt to counter possible attacks from Islamist militants there, Israeli officials said on Tuesday.

"We hear reports every day of attacks there and our concern is that the guns will be turned on us," Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said. "We have indeed strengthened our deployment along the border." [ID:nL6N0FT1ZN]

The Northwest Passage Is Actually The Other Direction | Real ScienceThere is a theory that Franklin?s expedition went mad from lead solder sealed food cans causing their brains to quit working properly. They were so irrational that they tried dragging the captain?s oak desk back to Canada.Now the Mainstream crew is dragging a heavy boat southeast away from the northwest passage. Perhaps excess CO2 is affecting their thought process?The New Northwest Passage | Real ScienceThe rowers appear to be attempting a new, shorter Northwest Passage route which doesn?t actually involve getting anywhere near the Northwest Passage.(1) Hey all, Thanks for all of the interaction on? ? Mainstream Last First[July 21, 2013] Hey all, Thanks for all of the interaction on this page. Some of it is positive and great but some of you are using this as a forum to access a larger audience for your own agenda. That?s not really what this is for. If you?d like to comment on the job the fellas are doing and the journey they?re on, awesome sauce. If you want to get into a heated discussion about global warming, please do so on your own page. I have, and will continue to, remove any disparaging or negative comments. Now, lets get back to the lads! Great job fellas!!(1) Hey all, Thanks for all of the interaction on? ? Mainstream Last First[comments] Les Johnson This is not a discussion about climate change? When the motto is ?Pulling Together For Climate Change?? And one posting was what would you say to a climate skeptic?Steve Jones You don?t like people pointing out that your poor schmucks are just deluded fools? Hope nobody else?s lives are put in danger rescuing them from your foolish escapade.Steve Jones Got an ETA for completion of the project please?Steve Jones ? I have, and will continue to, remove any disparaging or negative comments.?Steve Jones You?re going to ?Raise Awareness of Climate Change? by banning anybody who isn?t convinced? Great strategy guys! How many do you think you?ll persuade?Clothing Kit of an Arctic Rower ? MainStream Last FirstThe environment on the North West Passage is very windy and cold with the temperature of arctic waters being just a hair above freezing ? survival in them is defined by minutes not hours.Renewable energy ? MainStream Last First[July 21, 2013] Surely there?s a bigger place at our energy table for renewables. Our strategic corporate partner for this expedition is Mainstream Renewable Power, a company that builds wind and solar farms all over the world. The reason they chose their name is because they want to make renewable energy Mainstream.I?m not just mentioning this to promote Mainstream as a company, I just think it makes sense to use natural resources as much as possible for our power needs. Given the nature of this expedition, my eyes have been opened up significantly over the past 18 months to how rapidly our climate is changing. Regardless of peoples? opinions on this topic, hopefully our trip helps to promote more discussion on this very important issue, that not only affects all of us, but will impact future generations probably even more.

Huge Dinosaur Tail Discovered in Mexico

A giant dinosaur tail has been uncovered in northern Mexico, paleontologists announced this week.

The well-preserved tail measures about 16 feet (5 meters) long, contains 50 vertebrae, and seems to have belonged to a hadrosaur ? a duck-billed dino that lived about 72 million years ago. Hadrosaurs grew to be about 40 feet (12 m) long, so the tail would have taken up just under half the length of its body.

Buried within sedimentary rock in the desert region of Coahulia, this is the first intact dinosaur tail of this size to be discovered in Mexico, and only one of a handful that has been discovered around the world, according to a statement from the Mexican National Institute for Anthropology and History (INAH). Back in 2008, archaeologists reported the discovery of another hadrosaur, dubbed Velafrons coahuilensis, found in Coahulia. That specimen likely belonged to a juvenile dinosaur; even so it the youngster would have been 25 feet (7.5 m) in length, suggesting V. coahuilensis adults grew to a whopping 30 to 35 feet (9 to 10.5 m) long.

A group of locals discovered the fossil in June 2012. Paleontologists with INAH and the National Autonomous University of Mexico spent about a year surveying the area, and began their excavation on July 2.

The team has uncovered other bones from this dinosaur aside from tail vertebrae along the way, ?including its hip bone, and believes that more of the animal could be buried deeper within the rock. They originally planned to dig a plot 10 feet by 20 feet wide (3 by 6 meters), but have since decided to expand to 13 feet by 26 feet (4 by 8 meters) to follow the sprawling orientation of the bones, said excavation-leader Felisa Aguilar in a statement.

Aside from providing a valuable addition to the world's limited collection of intact dinosaur fossils, the team hopes their findings will help explain the mechanics of how hadrosaur tails moved, said team member Angel Ramirez Velasco from the National Autonomous University of Mexico in a statement.

The bones will be transported in separate parts to the city of General Cepeda, where they will be cleaned and analyzed in further detail.

Nine dead in Egypt amid clashes over ousting of President Morsi

CAIRO - A day and night of clashes between supporters and opponents of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi left nine dead and wounded close to 90 in and around the capital Cairo, health officials said Tuesday.

Six people were killed and 33 wounded overnight in violence near Cairo University, where hundreds of Morsi backers have been holding a sit-in to protest his removal by the army earlier this month, Health Ministry Director of Emergency Care Services Dr. Khalid el Khatib said. ?

Police sources told Reuters that Morsi supporters clashed with residents and street vendors at the university's Giza campus, just south of Cairo. ?

One was killed in violence near Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the protest movement that culminated in the removal from power for authoritarian president Hosni Mubarak on Feb. 11, 2011. Two died in clashes in Qaloubya City, to the north of Cairo.

Nearly fifty were wounded in clashes in Tahrir,?Qalyoub ?City and Cairo's?Madinat Nasr.

Close to 100 have died in violence since the army overthrew Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, on July 3 after a nationwide movement.

The Islamist president has been held incommunicado at an undisclosed location since the power shift, which the Muslim Brotherhood -- and countries in the region including Turkey -- consider a coup.

Both sides accuse each other of instigating the violence, and supporters of the deposed president, who are holding round-the-clock vigils to protest the army's move, have complained that police are not protecting them when heir marches come under attack by thugs.

And some residents close to the Brotherhood protests have filed a complaint demanding they be removed.

A security source told Reuters that the case was expected to ruled on soon "to give the army a legal basis to end the protests."?

On Monday, Morsi's family accused the military of "kidnapping" him and said they would seek help from the International Criminal Court.

In the first statement from Morsi's family since his July 3 overthrow by the military, his daughter Shaimaa told a news conference in Cairo that they hold the army responsible for his "safety and security."

Reuters contributed to this report.
