A string of explosions struck a police truck transporting prisoners in a tense area of northwestern Syria on Saturday, killing at least 14 people, state media and an opposition group said. Government troops also battled defectors in the north in fighting that left 10 people dead.
The 10-month uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad began with largely peaceful anti-government protests, but has turned increasingly militarized and chaotic in recent months as more frustrated regime opponents and army defectors arm themselves and fight back against government forces.
The official SANA news agency said the ambush of the police truck occurred on the Idlib-Ariha highway, an area near the Turkish border that has witnessed intense fighting with army defectors recently. SANA blamed the attack on "terrorists."
It said four bombs that went off in "two phases" hit the truck, and then attackers targeted an ambulance that arrived to assist the wounded. Six policemen who were accompanying the prisoners were also wounded, some of them in critical condition, it said.
The British-based opposition activist group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, confirmed the incident Saturday and said 15 prisoners were killed.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, director of the group, said the truck was hit by several roadside bombs, but it was not clear who was behind the attack.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but members of the so-called Free Syrian Army are known to be active in the area. The Free Syrian Army is a group of army defectors led by a Turkey-based defected colonel who sided with the protesters and have carried out attacks on regime forces.
A Syria-based activist said the area has several army encampments and is full of roadside bombs planted to target army tanks passing by, adding that the truck carrying prisoners may not have been the intended target.
The activist spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.
Abdul-Rahman and other activists in the country's northern Idlib province also reported heavy clashes between Syrian troops and defectors in the Jabal al-Zawiya region, along the Turkish border, and in the northern town of Maaret al-Numan.
He said nine members of the Syrian armed forces, including four officers, and a deserter were killed in the fighting in Maaret al-Numan. "Dozens" of people from both sides were wounded in the Jabal al-Zawiya fighting, and some of them were in serious condition.
The Local Coordination Committees activist network said five other people were killed in Syria Saturday, including three in the central city of Homs, one in the eastern city of Deir el-Zour and another in Douma, a suburb of the Syrian capital, where security forces fired on a funeral procession, wounding around 25 people.
The group also reported the discovery by residents of 30 unidentified bodies in Idlib's National Hospital Saturday. The report could not be independently confirmed.
The conflict in Syria has marked the most serious challenge to Assad, who took over from his father in 2000. The U.N. estimates some 5,400 have been killed since March, when the uprising began.
The capital has seen three suicide bombings since late December which the government blamed on terrorist extremists.
The violence comes as the head of an Arab League observers mission was to submit his report to the League's Cairo headquarters. Foreign ministers for the Arab League will meet Sunday in Cairo to discuss the future of the mission, which expired Thursday.
Arab League officials said the organization is likely to extend its observer mission in Syria and increase its numbers, despite complaints from the Syrian opposition that it has failed to curb the bloodshed in the country.
The head of the observers' mission, Sudanese Gen. Mohammed Ahmed al-Dabi, released a statement Saturday through the Arab League ahead of the ministers' meeting, saying that monitors are on the ground to watch for the implementation of the League's plan and "not to stop the bloodshed."
Members of the Syrian opposition have called for the dispatch of foreign troops to Syria to create safe zones for dissidents, or even a more wide-ranging military mission similar to the air campaign which helped Libyan rebels bring down dictator Moammar Gadhafi last year.
Burhan Ghalioun, head of the main opposition group, the Syrian National Council, was in the Egyptian capital Saturday for talks with Arab League officials ahead of Sunday's meeting.
The opposition met with Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby and urged him to refer the Syrian issue to the U.N. Security Council rather than continue trying to resolve it regionally.
Security officials in Lebanon meanwhile said the Syrian navy arrested three Lebanese fishermen and confiscated their boat Saturday in Lebanese waters off the northern town of Arida.
The two brothers and their nephew were taken after Syria soldiers aboard a naval vessel fired in the direction of the boat, the officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. Relatives of the two brothers said one of them died in the shooting.
After the incident, angry residents of Arida blocked the highway linking Lebanon and Syria for hours with burning tires.
SANA said Syrian coastal guards intercepted a Lebanese boat trying to infiltrate Syrian territorial waters, after warning it to stop more than once.
It said the Lebanese crew then unloaded its cargo of sealed boxes into the sea and tried to flee, adding that people aboard other Lebanese boats opened fire, wounding two Lebanese crewmen.
Syrian officials have accused Lebanese factions of smuggling weapons to Syria.

HUIZHOU, China, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Chinese bloggers trying to expose corruption say they are coming under increasing physical and verbal attack over their reports, in what anti-graft activists describe as another blow to efforts to make Chinese officials more accountable.
At least six self-styled whistleblowers have been assaulted or harassed in recent months, according to media reports, Internet postings and several of the bloggers who spoke to Reuters.
Two unidentified men stabbed blogger Li Jianxin in the face and splashed acid on his back on July 8. Li, now blind in his right eye, remains in hospital in the southern city of Huizhou.
The attacks coincide with a government crackdown on activists demanding officials disclose their wealth, underscoring the limits of an anti-corruption push by President Xi Jinping.
Xi, who became president in March, has called for action against graft, warning, as many Chinese leaders have before him, that the problem could threaten the ruling Communist Party's survival.
"If President Xi Jinping is serious about fighting graft, then he should ensure that these individuals are protected from such intimidation and persecution," said Maya Wang, a researcher at Human Rights Watch.
Xi has said the "supervision of the people" is needed to fight corruption.
Indeed, Li said he and other whistleblowers were encouraged when they heard officials discuss "public opinion-based oversight" of power during China's annual parliament session in March. Li said he thought that meant the government wanted the Internet to be a tool to weed out corruption.
"It was like a boost to the heart," Li, 45, told Reuters from his hospital bed where he awaits three more operations in addition to the three he has undergone.
"It signified that the nation's leaders attach importance and support our anti-corruption efforts on the Internet."
Li, who runs a small restaurant, began posting accusations of official misconduct, illegal land grabs and nepotism in the city of Huizhou in Guangdong province just over a year ago.
In March, someone tossed a brick through his daughter's bedroom window. Li was not cowed.
"If they have the guts, they should take a gun and shoot me dead," Li wrote in an online forum after that incident.
Li does not know who attacked him last month and police have not made any arrests. He vowed to continue his online reports.
The postings contain few documents to support his accusations and none of Li's dozens of exposes have led to investigations. Much of his information comes from informants, Li said, adding he had never been sued for slander.
Huizhou officials did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
While whistleblowing mostly occurs inside organisations in Western countries, in China it plays out on the Internet, a barometer of public opinion for the country's middle-class and where people can reach a wide audience.
There are some three dozen Chinese whistleblowers who regularly post reports online under their own names about alleged corruption and misconduct, according to Reuters estimates based on the number of microblogs as well as media reports.
In January, the Central Discipline Inspection Commission, the party's anti-corruption authority, said it welcomed public participation in fighting corruption if people used their real names on the Internet.
"Any real-name whistleblowing report will be prioritised and will be given a timely response", Cui Shaopeng, the commission's spokesman, told a news conference at the time.
Authorities have investigated some online accusations since then and jailed several low-level officials.
The commission has a page on its website for tips from citizens, although it is unclear how many it has gotten recently. Between 2008 to 2012, the commission said it received 301,000 whistleblowing reports online. Officials at the commission, contacted by Reuters, declined to comment.
Still, Beijing remains wary of giving people too much latitude and does not give legal protection to whistleblowers.
Indeed, Zhu Ruifeng, one of China's most prominent whistleblowers, discovered last month the authorities had deleted his four microblog accounts. One was reactivated recently after a public outcry.
Zhu, who runs a whistleblowing website called "People Supervision Net" in Beijing, does not know who closed the accounts but reckons it was because of his recent postings on a government official who had spent lavishly on his mistress.
While he believed the party's discipline commission was sincere in fighting corruption, other government departments did not always like what he did.
"Sometimes I'll arouse the attention of the discipline commission. (The authorities) have a love-hate relationship with me," he said.
Last year, Zhu released a video of Lei Zhengfu, a district party chief in the southwestern city of Chongqing, having sex with his much younger mistress.
Communist Party officials are banned from having mistresses, and the video came to symbolise to many the excesses of the ruling elite. Lei was sentenced in June to 13 years jail for bribery.
Zhu said he had never been assaulted but had received threats through microblog messages and emails.
In the northeastern city of Dalian, microblogger Bi Meina has accused an official there of misconduct. She posted the claims on her microblog but did not provide any documentation.
Since May, Bi said she has been followed and received calls and text messages from anonymous users, who have hurled insults.
"The distress is definitely there," Bi said by email. "I have thought of giving up ... and moving my family abroad."
In Maoming, another Guangdong city, an official called Zhu Guoyu has sought to expose local corruption with his online reports.
Nine officials had been convicted as a result of his postings, said Zhu Guoyu, the secretary-general of the Maoming People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and head of the international liaison office in the city.
His bosses don't like what he does.
"They try to keep me busy so I don't have time to whistleblow," he said.
Last September, men in two cars chased him. In 2011, he was stabbed by unknown assailants but survived.
Despite the threats faced by bloggers and whistleblowers, the tide would turn in their favour, Zhu Guoyu said.
"There are so many people watching, I believe paper can't wrap up a fire," he said, referring to a Chinese saying that means the truth cannot be hidden for too long.

The reality of it is I spend a hours and hours and hours going blind reading stuff that is either directly related to my next project, or stuff that I casually consult on..or stuff I think is neat and justify by saying some day I may have a chance to use whatever Im studying. Then, every 6 to 8 weeks or so I go to some place that university archeologists or anthropologists wont or cant go because they have more common sense or survival instincts than I do..and then I get to do the cool stuff for a short time..then I go home.. and spend some time in the lab with some things, and debrief sponsors of my work.. and then decide on the next project. Im lucky in that I have more projects on offer than I can do, so I can choose what is most interesting for me. Theres not much else to tell.. I rarely get to get deep into projects..proper archeology projects can sometimes take decades on a good site..I am lucky if I get 2 weeks because Im often at sites that are threatened by looting, by war, or things like religious fundamentalism (as an example, Islamic influenced governments in areas like Somalia feel its their duty to erase pre-Islam history..). So I do quick and dirty excavations, removing only the most important artifacts. As an aside before people explode on the cultural imperialism of taking other countries artifacts, the artifacts are returned once their home country is able to protect them again. For example, the above two mummies are now safely back in Peru.

Numerical Inversion of Surface Deformation at Long Valley Caldera (California) By Using 3D Mechanical ModelsS. Pepe, P. Tizzani, and A. Manconi
IREA-CNR, Napoli, Italy
We use 3D numerical models to analyze the ground deformation observed at Long Valley Caldera (LVC) between 1992 and 2000 via space-based geodetic techniques. More specifically, we implement a complex model that includes the topography and the material heterogeneities information of LVC. The 3D heterogeneous models are implemented of COMSOL models in a Genetic Algorithm optimization to constrain the pressure of the source that caused the surface displacements measured at LVC.

This post is a reply to the following comments:
Anonymous said... please help me.....the graphic driver installled but did not work....says can not find requested strings.....windows 7 compaq nc6220.....please update me on what to do
B : CASE 1: General solution for "Can't find requested string" INTEL graphic.
C : CASE 2 : "Can't find requested string" happen after using windows Update.
D : CASE 3: "Can't find requested string" after installing newer driver's version.
Remember that LOG ON to your computer as ADMINISTRATOR. This is because i've been told that the first time a user logs on, the Intel software must attempt to establish what the locale of the system is, and then create an appropriate driver file in system32 for that language. The file to look for is IGFXRES.DLL
When a non administrator is logged in, the system does not create the DLL file. So to be more safe, to reinstall the driver log in as administrator and right click on the driver and select run as administrator.
B : CASE 1: General solution for "Can't find requested string" INTEL graphic.
This problem commonly happen with computer that use INTEL GRAPHIC.
Intel said in thier website that this happen when:
- This message can be seen when installing a newer version of the Intel® graphics driver (PV14.13 or later).
- This error displays in the Intel graphics driver system tray menu (see Figure 1) and the Windows* Control Panel icon.
So INTEL themself has done a great job to solve the problems and this is a repost from INTEL website, to read the original post by intel you can refer to this url:
Error displayed in Intel® Graphics driver Control Panel icon
To work-around this issue, follow the steps listed below:
Note For Intel® 915G, 915GM/GMS, 910GL, 910GML, 945G, 945GM/GMS, and 940GML chipset-based products, this issue is resolved in graphics driver version PV14.24 and later. For the latest driver, run the Intel® Driver Update Utility.
Uninstall the Intel® Graphics driver using the following steps:
Open Windows* Control Panel by clicking Start » Settings » Control Panel or clicking Start » Control Panel.
Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
Select and remove the Intel® Extreme Graphics driver or Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator driver.
Follow the prompts to reboot the computer.
After reboot, Windows detects a new device (the graphics controller) and searches for the driver. Select Cancel in the Found New Hardware Wizard windows. The driver is installed in a later step.
Change the Windows* Regional and Language Options settings by following these steps:
Open Windows Control Panel.
Double-click Regional and Language Options
Figure 3 - Regional and Language Options
On the Regional Options tab, and note the currently selected language.
Change the language as follows:
If English (United Kingdom) is currently selected, choose a different English language listed.
If French (Canada) is currently selected, choose a different French language listed.
If Arabic (Lebanon) is currently selected, choose a different Arabic language listed.
Click Advanced and note the currently selected language.
Change the language as follows:
If English (United Kingdom) is currently selected, choose a different English language listed.
If French (Canada) is currently selected, choose a different French language listed.
If Arabic (Lebanon) is currently selected, choose a different Arabic language listed.
Click OK to accept these changes.
Click Yes when prompted to skip file copying and use existing files.
Click Yes to restart the computer.
After reboot, install the latest Intel® graphics driver using the Intel® Driver Utility Graphics tool.
After reboot, change the Regional and Language Options back to the original language settings noted in Steps 2c and 2e.
This applies to:
Intel® 82852/82855 Graphics Controller Family
Intel® 82865G Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
Intel® 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset Family
Intel® 82945G Express Chipset
Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family
Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset Family
So Compaq NC6220 use Intel 915GM Graphics and this step may solve the problem.
C : CASE 2 : "Can't find requested string" happen after using windows Update.
Normally when we installed updates and after that i cause problems, we just need to remove the updates in control panel.
-start - all program - control panel - add/remove program(xp)/uninstall programs(win 7)
-select show updates/view installed updates and remove the necessary updates. (the updates which after installed, it cause the error)
-after that reboot, and if the error still there, try to reintsall the driver and reboot (remember to log again as admin)
D : CASE 3: "Can't find requested string" after installing newer driver's version.
There are to way to solve this.
First is my favourite is by using SYSTEM RESTORE. To do this:
I - win XP
a) click start - all programs - accessories - system tools -system restore
b) Select "restore my computer ...." and select the date before the error happen.
c) wait it finish and it will reboot if it goes well your problems solved.
II - Win 7
a) Click start and on the search box type SYSTEM RESTORE - select the top result.
b) it will take few secs for system restore to open. Select next and select SHOW MORE REStORE POINT.
c) Select the date before you install the new graphic and wait till it finish. it will reboot if it goes well your problems will be solved.
UNISTALL and REINSTALL DRIVER
1. Unistall current driver - reboot - install original/ older version of the driver.
I -to uninstall the current graphic driver you can go to control panel and remove it,
II- you can also go to device manager (win xp - click star and select run -type DEVMGMT.MSC and press enter) (win 7 - click start and on search box type DEVICE MANAGER and select the top result).
expand the display adapter - on the graphic select UNISTALL - reboot
I strongly recommend use device manager to unistall the driver unless it does not appear in device manager so use method II.
Then reinstall the original/older version of the graphic driver.
For those who try this method and have something to share, please post it in the comments section below and i hope this post can start a good discussion regarding the problems.

A Short Patriotic Message I Recently Received...
And now, for your dancing and dining pleasure, the email you've all been waiting anxiously for, here it is! ENJOY!
To my fellow Pyros.
You don't know how much that YOU as a customer are valued to us at Pyrocreations. We are a very small company blessed by our customers and founded on Gods principles. We want to thank you for your support of our freedom and standing for what is good and American. Thank you for your past, present and future orders with our company and we cannot thank you enough. I love America, but do not love what I see her becoming. We are losing freedoms at a rapid pace as other groups try to destroy us and what American is and what it stood for. I am not here to talk about politics or religion. I am here to speak the truth and to ask you as someone who loves his country, who loves America enough to speak up that we love America and we will not back down and show that we still believe in Freedom and America by lighting up the sky like never before this Fourth of July. I am not telling anyone to break the law but what I am saying is this: This Fourth of July should be the biggest Fourth of July since America was founded! We should rock the United States with fireworks this fourth like no other. This is not a sales tactic. You stand for what is right and good and LOVE your fireworks! So a large percentage of you buy fireworks already made at tents or your favorite fireworks store for your Fourth of July fireworks show. This year I'm asking you to go all out! Not because Steve Gamble told you but because you believe in and love America. We at Pyrocreations have almost 30k customers emails and they are from all 50 states and all around the world. If you are receiving this email and you are a warm blooded American who still loves their country. Then my hope by this little email you will go the extra mile this year and that you would also forward this email and share with all you know. As things get harder for free warm blooded Americans as we are attacked and threatened. Many have had their lives taken because they believed in freedom. As we see these changes unfold before our eyes, as we see America being attacked, WE WILL let our voice be heard and show this Fourth of July of 2015, that we love America and we will stand for what we believe in as an American by putting on a fireworks show like no other. We will ask those who normally do not shoot fireworks to do it this year in the name of freedom. Even if you have to drive five hours to be legal, find a friend or friends who are serious about their country and what it's becoming who will open their place up so you can do this for Freedoms sake! No better way to show your patriotism and freedom then shooting off Fireworks. In 1775 Patric Henry said "Give me liberty, or give me death!" I believe in my freedom in America and it's time we make a statement that there are still people in America that believe in the sweet land of liberty. And we believe in justice for all which many of us kids grew up announcing every morning in school and as we pledged allegiance to our flag. This was done under God, indivisible and with liberty and justice for all. let your freedom RING!
I know this email may be a risky thing for me and my business, I know it is something that may cause opposition but I must express my opinions and love for my country, because I am personally afraid of where it's heading. Since I currently have access to many patriotic God- fearing men and women who still have a hunger for our country to be the glory of what it once was and to make a stand against our opposers who threaten us and try to force us to cower in fear by stealing our freedom using scare tactics. I've always heard that these colors don't run and it's time for us to take a stand! I must do what I feel led no matter the consequences. I know I may even lose customers over this email and it frightens me to think of these things and of course is never my Intentions but I still make no apologies for my love of God and America. I know also I will probably receive many emails after I send this, hopefully some with gratitude from those who share my view but no doubt some with hate. but know this. I will always speak my mind and this year let's all make a statement that will be heard and seen all around the United States. If you read this to the end I again thank you! I hope this encourages you to continue with what you love and do it with passion no matter the opposition against us! I would no more like to see this spread like wildfire and this 4th of July be a statement to those all around us.
Sincerely, Steve Gamble @ Pyrocreations (If you want to send him an email, be sure to remove the spaces!)

Beat the Heat Four Times? Good Luck With That...
The Miami Heat are eight wins away from repeating as NBA champions, so there's plenty of time to debate whether LeBron James could beat the "Space Jam" Monstars by himself. In the meantime, here's a simple reason why it's ridiculous to expect anything other than a Heat romp: Miami would have to lose four times in seven games. This is a problem for the rest of the NBA because the Heat have just three losses in their last 48 games—the longest run without four losses in league history, according to Stats LLC.
Miami entered the playoffs having won 37 of 39, including 27 straight at one point, and is 8-1 so far in the postseason. Chicago beat the Heat twice in that span, once in the playoffs, but Miami rolled off four straight to eliminate the Bulls last week. The Knicks also beat the Heat on April 2—except James and Wade didn't play.
The Heat's streak is just as outrageous in the context of other sports. Hockey is most comparable to basketball in terms of playoff structure, and Miami's run is longer than any NHL team's in more than 30 years. The 1906 Chicago Cubs' stretch of 42 games without four losses is MLB's best since 1900.
This Heat wave has even topped Michael Jordan's run with the Bulls in 1996, when Chicago finished with a 72-10 record. That team went only 44 games without losing four times.

First off, the graphics leave much to be desired and remind me of a spiced up StarFox64 game.
Second, all the new characters are cute, they get to speak, but almost no plot device draws you in. It feels like they are only there for the purpose of being there. The trailer for all Macross series (or games) has never been so vague.
Third, seriously; why does Basara have to fight? This is way out of his character to shoot missiles and weaponry. I think this is a bad addition for those who accepted his character in the end, like me.
Fourth, does anyone else notice that all of the girls who lost the past triangles have something to say whilst those who won it do not really have even a line? Ironically, this would mean Sheryl lost given that she has more lines whilst Ranka has one, but then, this also applies to Mao, who speaks whilst Sara does not. I find this to be a bit trolling. I don't know if anyone else feels these vibes but it is really odd how they spaced this all together.
Finally, they don't really imply on the plot for the game in either trailer really. There's a bit war going on, the universes are entwined, all pilots from the different universes are coming together. But there is no plot on why. Honestly, I understand the protection part, but who is attacking, or what? There isn't much information. Also, they don't actually explain how or why the hostages were taken in the first place. You see the logic here? The game starts you off in the middle of something whilst you're confused. Nope; not buying that people.
On a shipping note here:
Spoiler for Vajra AND Sheryl? Shouldn't this be Sheryl and Vajra?:

Some more gameplay info and 2 new characters. The guy gets the 'cute' mascot now? I thought it was a scarf, but looks more like a large pet. Mei will be voiced by Ayana Taketatsu (Azusa from K-ON!, Kirino from OreImo).

Dropped by to squeal at this beautiful pic:
Spoiler for ah~ sweet love:
Don't care what anyone has to say about it;
Spoiler for and~:
As I hear it, the game allows for choice of what girl can win the love triangle?
Is that true? I'd love to play it then.
I've been hesitant because my only console available is my computer (can play PS3 games barely). But if there is more than one path I can take in the romance field in the game, it will certainly boost my moral. I don't want to lose love for Macross...
Still, this new picture gives me hopes and dreams.

You are correct. Not only was it $400 but adding shipping? What a bitch. But since my TV was (and still is) a piece of crap born in the early '00s, I settled for it. Still, shipping took 2weeks because I chose regular mail due to lack of funds. It isn't really worth it unless you have a monster computer.
Luckily, in June, I bought a computer with an i5 Core Processor able to handle the main functions of the PS3 and its earlier games (requiring less memory to decode). However, the i7 is better. Too bad I'm broke again.

Once again, I am quite unhappy that I did not choose to learn Japanese and get the option to enjoy those games. That looks pretty interesting from the pictures.
Oh, well. Maybe after settling down those issues of getting a well paying job and a new apartment. Maybe not. So much stuff to choose from on how to fill my free time.

CAIRO, Egypt — Egypt's chief prosecutor on Wednesday ordered two trials for a total of 919 suspected Islamists on charges that include murder, pushing ahead with a series of mass tribunals of supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi despite international criticism.
The policy of mass trials sparked uproar among rights groups after a judge this week issued death sentences against more than 520 defendants on charges of killing a policeman during an attack on a police station last summer.
On Wednesday, students in several universities, most of them Islamists, held protests Wednesday against the death sentences, turning into clashes with security forces. An 18-year-old student was killed in the violence at Cairo University, the Health Ministry said.
Egyptian authorities are holding a series of trials in a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood and other supporters of Morsi since the military removed him in July. Some 16,000 have been arrested over the past months, including most of the Brotherhood's top leaders.
The death sentences issued Monday by a court in the city of Minya, south of Cairo, brought an outcry from rights groups and criticism from the United Nations, European Union and United States over the cursory trial, which lasted only two sessions and in which lawyers said they were denied the right to make their case or question witnesses. The sentences can be appealed, and lawyers expect them to be overturned.
On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement that he was "deeply, deeply troubled, by the verdict. "It simply defies logic."
The two new trials announced Wednesday are also to be held in Minya, the state news agency MENA reported.
A judicial official said they will be headed by the same judge, Said Youssef, who also began a new mass trial of more than 680 defendants on Tuesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press.
All told, the four trials involve 2,147 defendants.
All the trials are connected to a wave of violence in mid-August after security forces broke up two pro-Morsi sit-ins in Cairo. More than 600 were killed in the sit-in break-up, setting off a backlash of violence for days as suspected Morsi supporters attacked police stations, government installations and churches in towns around Egypt, leaving hundreds dead.
In one of the new trials announced Wednesday, 715 defendants, including the Muslim Brotherhood's top leader Mohammed Badie, are charged with killing six people and attempted murder of 51 others during attacks on state institutions on Aug. 14 in the city of Samalout. Only 160 defendants in this case are in detention. The prosecutor asked for the arrest of the rest.
In the second trial, 204 defendants, also including Badie, face charges of inciting violence. Only three are in detention in this case, in which the charges include attacking state institutions and police in al-Adawa town, also in Minya.
A court will set a date for the trials.
Badie is also a defendant in the trial of 683 defendants that began Tuesday in Minya on murder and attempted murder in connection to a separate attack on a police station that killed two policemen.
Badie, who is jailed in Cairo, is in the multiple cases because authorities accuse him of instigating the August rioting. Days after Morsi's ouster, he gave a fiery speech to supporters at one of the Cairo sit-ins urging them to restore Morsi to office, saying, "We are his soldiers, we will defend him with our lives."
On Wednesday, hundreds of largely Islamist university students in a number of universities protested against the mass death sentences.
At Cairo University, hundreds of students who attempted to take their protest outside the campus were met with volleys of tear gas from police. Khadiga el-Kholy, a student participating in the protest, said the police force gave no warnings before firing the tear gas, sending the students rushing back on campus.
Students responded by throwing stones and fireworks and hurling tear gas canisters back at the security forces in pitched street battles. TV footage showed security in civilian clothes detaining protesters and taking them away in blindfolds. There were also images of the security seizing fire bombs from young protesters. El-Kholy said police fired birdshot at the protesters.
"We wanted to escalate our protest because of those death sentences, which included university students," she said, adding that the protesters had sought to move into a nearby public square outside the campus. "We want to break the barriers that the security forces have imposed on all the squares."
In the Nile Delta city of Zagazig, police said students damaged the facade of an administrative building in the local university and clashed with rival students, prompting to security forces to enter the campus and arrest eight rioters.
Thousands of Morsi supporters are already arrested and most are facing trials on a number of charges, including inciting violence, and rioting.
Morsi's Islamist supporters have continued to hold protests against his ouster. Authorities accuse the group of fomenting violence and terrorism, a claim the group denies.
The pro-Morsi camp has refused to recognize the new political road map installed by the military after his ouster. Presidential elections are now expected next month.
The head of the military, Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who removed Morsi, is widely expected to run for president — and win the election. On Wednesday, the council of top generals, the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, convened a meeting with interim President Adly Mansour, military spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali said in a statement on his official Facebook page.
He did not elaborate on the meeting. A military official speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door meeting, said el-Sissi was expected to give the council his resignation from the military and his post as defence minister, a required step before he can announce his candidacy.
As Egypt awaited an announcement on el-Sissi, a presidential spokesman said that Mansour had promoted Sidki Sobhi, chief of staff, to general from lieutenant general during the meeting. Sobhi is expected to replace el-Sissi as defence minister.

The University of Notre Dame's choice of President Barack Obama as commencement speaker and honorary degree recipient at the university's May 17 graduation has been a topic for columns in secular and Catholic publications alike.
In the April 19 edition of Our Sunday Visitor Greg Erlandson, OSV's president and publisher, said the controversy "gives us a chance to tackle issues of identity, authority and academic freedom."
The March 29 issue of the Chicago Tribune included columns with opposing points of view on the commencement controversy. George Wiegel, a senior fellow of Washington's Ethics and Public Policy Center, called the university's decision "an egregious error" while Douglas Kmiec, a law professor at Pepperdine University praised Notre Dame for being "an inviting place of common ground."
A Los Angeles times editorial said that by resisting pressure to rescind Obama's invitation, Notre Dame has "kept faith with both its religious and its academic missions."
Kenneth Woodward, contributing editor at Newsweek, wrote in a Washington Post op-ed piece that as a graduate of Notre Dame and someone who is "adamantly pro-life," he did not think the invitation meant the university was "signaling its approval" of Obama's policies.
Syndicated columnist Mark Shields, also a Notre Dame alum, took this view: "I believe that Notre Dame will be good for President Obama and that President Obama will be good for Notre Dame. They both will benefit from the visit."
Those in favor of Obama as graduation speaker and those against his presence on campus May 17 also have a home on Facebook which nonmembers can view.

NBA Capsules
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — LeBron James scored 36 points, hitting six consecutive 3-pointers in less than six minutes during the first half, and the Miami Heat rebounded from their first loss in nearly two months to beat the New Orleans Hornets 108-89 on Friday night.
The Heat, whose 27-game winning streak ended in Chicago on Wednesday, looked ready to start a new one while clinching the top seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs. James kept shooting 3-pointers after making his first one with 1:55 left in the first quarter, and he did not miss until he already had set a season high with his sixth.
James finished with seven 3s, one shy of his career high. Dwyane Wade added 17 points and seven assists. Norris Cole scored 12 points and Chris Bosh 10.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Tim Duncan had a season-high 34 points, including a game-winning three-point play with 2.2 seconds left, and San Antonio won its seventh straight game at home.

Chase Budinger scored 13 points off the bench and Andrei Kirilenko played superb defense on Thunder star Kevin Durant in the second half to help the Wolves deal the Thunder an unexpected setback in their pursuit of the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
Durant had 36 points and seven rebounds, but was just 4 for 9 in the final 22 minutes. Russell Westbrook added 18 points and nine assists for the Thunder.
BOSTON (AP) — Paul Pierce had 20 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds, and Jeff Green scored 27 points to carry Boston to the victory over Atlanta.
Jason Terry was 5 of 7 on 3-pointers and finished with 24 points for Boston, which won its second straight following a five-game losing streak.

The Celtics, who closed to 1½ games behind the Hawks for the Eastern Conference's sixth playoff spot, won the season series 3-1.
DENVER (AP) — Rookie Evan Fournier scored a season-high 19 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, and Denver extended its home winning streak to 18 games.
Denver improved to 33-3 at the Pepsi Center this season, the best home record in the league.
Wilson Chandler had 16 points and Corey Brewer and Kosta Koufos added 13 points apiece for the Nuggets, who are one win shy of matching their longest home winning streak since Jan. 28-April 20, 1989, despite missing injured point guard Ty Lawson. He was ruled out for the third time in four games after an exam Thursday of his strained heel also revealed a plantar fascia tear in his right foot.
Deron Williams scored 19 points for the Nets, who missed a chance for their team-record 21st road win of the season. It was the Nets' sixth consecutive loss to the Nuggets in Denver.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Mo Williams scored 26 of his 28 points in the second half, and Utah rallied with a 19-3 run in the final minutes to beat Portland and draw even with the Los Angeles Lakers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Paul Millsap added 25 points and 10 rebounds as the Jazz (37-36) snapped a nine-game losing streak on the road, their longest since dropping 17 straight in the 1981-82 season.
The Blazers (33-39) dropped 3½ games back with their third straight loss.
Portland, playing without forward LaMarcus Aldridge because of a sprained right ankle, got 24 points from rookie Damian Lillard. J.J. Hickson added 17 points and 14 rebounds.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol scored 21 points apiece and Memphis snapped a two-game losing streak.
Randolph added 12 rebounds, Tony Allen scored 16 points, connecting on 8 of 12 shots, and Mike Conley finished with 15 points and 10 assists.
Allen also had a strong defensive effort in limiting the Rockets' James Harden to seven points on 3-of-9 shooting. Harden came into the game fifth in the league in scoring with a 26.2 average.
Chandler Parsons and Donatas Motiejunas led the Rockets with 16 points apiece, despite not playing in the fourth quarter as Houston coach Kevin McHale used his reserves to try to put more pressure on the Grizzlies defensively. Carlos Delfino had 15 points for Houston, while James Anderson scored 10.
NEW YORK (AP) — J.R. Smith scored 37 points, his third consecutive 30-point outing, and New York beat Charlotte for its season-high seventh straight victory.
Carmelo Anthony had 32 points and Raymond Felton added 18 for the Knicks, who have the longest current streak in the NBA. They built a 30-point lead that was reduced to single digits for the second game in a row.

John Wall led the Wizards with 35 points, nine rebounds and two assists. Martell Webster was the only other Wizard in double figures, scoring 19.
Harris had the key basket, a 15-foot floater that gave the Magic a 93-88 lead with 1:22 left in the game.
Wall made two free throws to get the Wizards within 93-90, but after the Magic missed Wall couldn't convert at the other end and the Magic sealed the win from the free throw line.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Evan Turner scored 23 points and Philadelphia sent Cleveland to its season-high seventh straight loss.
Jrue Holiday had 20 points and Thaddeus Young added 18 for the Sixers, who are 2-16 on the road since Jan. 2. Philadelphia used a 20-2 run that began late in the second quarter and extended into the third to take control of the game. Turner, who had three points at halftime, scored 13 in the first seven minutes of the third quarter.
C.J. Miles scored 19 points for Cleveland, which had lost six in a row on two previous occasions. The Cavaliers played again without their starting backcourt of Kyrie Irving (bruised shoulder) and Dion Waiters (sore knee).
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — DeMar DeRozan and Rudy Gay scored 21 points apiece and Toronto ended a five-game skid by extending Detroit's home losing streak to eight games.
