8A Daily News – Wednesday, July 10, 2013 WORLD BRIEFING Economist named Egypt's prime minister CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's interim president named an economist as prime minister Tuesday, ending days of deadlock as the head of the military pressured political factions to speed along the process, warning them that ''maneuvering'' must not hold up the transition toward new elections after the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi. The appointment of Hazem el-Beblawi, along with the setting of a swift timetable for parliamentary and presidential elections early next year, underlined the military-backed leadership's determination to push ahead with their transition plans in the face of Islamist protests demanding the reinstatement of Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president. The new leadership got a boost Tuesday from Arab allies in the Gulf. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, both opponents of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, celebrated his ouster by showering the cash-strapped Egyptian government with promises of $8 billion worth of cash grants, loans and badly needed gas and oil. In doing so, they are effectively stepping in for Morsi's Gulf patron, Qatar, a close ally of the Brotherhood that gave his government several billion in aid. During Morsi's year in office, he and his officials toured multiple countries seeking cash to prop up rapidly draining foreign currency reserves and plug mounting deficits — at times getting a cold shoulder. The developments underlined the multiple pressures on the new leadership even with the country still in turmoil after what Morsi's supporters have called a coup against democracy. DiMaio testified that lacerations to the back of Zimmerman's head were consistent with it striking a concrete sidewalk. Later, when looking at photos of Zimmerman's injuries taken the night of the shooting, DiMaio identified six separate impacts to Zimmerman's face and head. He said he believed Zimmerman's nose had been broken. Criminal investigation opened into deadly oil train derailment L AC - M E G A N T I C , Quebec (AP) — Canadian authorities said Tuesday they have opened a criminal investigation into the fiery wreck of a runaway oil train as the death toll climbed to 15, with dozens more bodies feared buried in the blackened, burned-out ruins of this small town. Quebec police Inspector Michel Forget said that investigators have ''discovered elements'' that have led to a criminal probe. He gave no details but ruled out terrorism. Tangled debris and gas leaks hampered rescue workers' search for bodies three days after the crash early Saturday that incinerated much of LacMegantic's downtown and raised questions about the safety of transporting oil by rail instead of pipeline. Investigators zeroed in on whether a blaze on the train a few hours before the disaster set off the deadly chain of events. The death toll rose with the discovery of two more bodies Tuesday. About three dozen more people were missing. NTSB investigators interview pilots of Asiana Airlines jet SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (AP) — Aviation investigators put more questions to the pilots of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 on Tuesday, trying to learn what was happening in the cockpit of the Boeing 777 as the plane made a dangerously low and slow approach before a crash-landing that killed two passengers.

Investigators have a general idea of the events that preceded the crash. But they need to hear the pilots' accounts to understand why the jetliner went down on a clear day with no sign of mechanical trouble. Here is what is known: Seven seconds before impact, someone in the cockpit asked for more speed after apparently noticing that the jet was flying far slower than its recommended landing speed. A few seconds later, the yoke began to vibrate violently, an automatic warning telling the pilot the plane is losing lift and in imminent danger of an aerodynamic stall. One and a half seconds before impact came a command to abort the landing. Those are the few details the National Transportation Safety Board has released so far from cockpit voice recordings, air traffic control communications and flight data collected from the smashed jet, which slammed tail-first into the waterfront tarmac Saturday. ''And now he's doing it again with his own signature health care law,'' said McConnell, who is seeking re-election next year in a state where Obama is unpopular. Republicans say Obama exceeds presidential authority WASHINGTON (AP) — In the courts of law and public opinion, congressional Republicans increasingly accuse President Barack Obama of exceeding his constitutional authority for the benefit of special interests, most recently by delaying a requirement for businesses to provide health care for their workers. In one instance, Senate Republicans formally backed a lawsuit challenging the president's appointment of three members of the National Labor Relations Board without confirmation. The Supreme Court has agreed to review a ruling in the case, which found that Obama overstepped his bounds. Most recently, the White House's decision to postpone a key part of the president's health care law drew rhetorical denunciations Tuesday from Republicans who, ironically, want to see the law repealed in its entirety. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said the action was part of a pattern of ''indifference to the rule of law on the part of this administration. ... He did it with immigration. He did it with welfare work requirements. And he did it with the NLRB when he took it upon himself to tell another branch of government when it was in recess. Expert says evidence jibes with Zimmerman's story SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — The trajectory of the bullet and gun powder on Trayvon Martin's body support George Zimmerman's account that the teen was on top of him when the defendant shot and killed Martin, an expert on gunshot wounds testified Tuesday as the defense approached the end of its case. Forensic pathologist Dr. Vincent DiMaio also used photographs of Zimmerman to point out where he appeared to have been struck during testimony that took up a significant portion of the day's hearing. Defense attorneys, who said they may wrap up their case Wednesday, were hoping DiMaio's testimony would help convince jurors of Zimmerman's claims that he shot Martin in selfdefense. DiMaio, who was hired by the defense, said the muzzle of Zimmerman's gun was against Martin's clothing and it was anywhere from two to four inches from Martin's skin. ''This is consistent with Mr. Zimmerman's account that Mr. Martin was over him, leaning forward at the time he was shot,'' said DiMaio, the former chief medical examiner in San Antonio. 741 Main Street, Suite #2 Red Bluff, CA 96080 1-800-287-2187 (530) 527-2187 C & C PROPERTIES An Independently owned and operated Member of Coldwell Banker Residential Affiliates.

''We have a sacred obligation to perform this mission well,'' Pentagon press secretary George Little told reporters, referring to the Joint POW-MIA Accounting Command, or JPAC, which is based in Hawaii and run by a two-star general. The U.S. estimates there are more than 83,000 Americans missing from World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Over the past three years, JPAC has reported an average of 69 identifications of recovered remains per year, down from 85 per year over the previous three years. Congress is demanding that it make at least 200 identifications per year starting in 2015, a target it is widely expected to miss. The Associated Press reported on Sunday that a 2012 internal assessment of JPAC's field operations — including the search for and recovery and identification of remains — found it suffers from ineptitude, waste and mismanagement. JPAC leaders suppressed the study but the AP obtained a copy after it had been denied to others who requested it under the Freedom of Information Act. FBI nominee: Surveillance can be 'valuable tool' in law enforcement WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration's nominee to become the next FBI director, James Comey, told members of Congress on Tuesday that federal judges who oversee government intelligence programs are ''anything but a rubber stamp.'' But Comey also agreed to work with legislators to improve the laws governing surveillance activities. Comey said he wasn't familiar with the details of the government's phone and Internet surveillance programs that recently became public, but he said that collecting that type of information can be ''a valuable tool in counterterrorism.''
