Map of elephant DNA reveals trail of ivory smugglers Scientists have used a revolutionary genetic technique to pinpoint the area of Africa where smugglers are slaughtering elephants to feed the worldwide illegal ivory trade.Using a DNA map of Africa's elephants, they have found that most recent seizures of tusks can be traced to animals that had grazed in the Selous and Niassa game reserves on the Tanzania and Mozambique borders.The discovery suggests that only a handful of cartels are responsible for most of the world's booming trade in illegal ivory and for the annual slaughter of tens of thousands of elephants. The extent of this trade is revealed through recent seizures of thousands of tusks in separate raids on docks in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, the Philippines and Japan. These were aimed at satisfying the far east's growing appetite for ivory, a new status symbol for the middle classes of the region's swelling industrialised economies.As a result, ivory prices have soared from $200 a kilogram in 2004 to more than $6,000. At the s GuardianVictory on climate change boosts president`s position The epic battle over universal health care is still to be fought, but Barack Obama moved to capitalise on a defining moment of his presidency yesterday - a vote in Congress to act on global warming - saying the time had arrived for America to show international leadership on climate change.The White House shifted the topic of Obama's address from healthcare to energy after the vote, seeking to build momentum for the ambitious climate change bill ahead of its next hurdle in the Senate. The first round, in the house of representatives on Friday night, barely went to Obama. The Democratic leadership, despite making concessions to dissidents from oil and coal states, eked out only a 219-212 victory.

It was also a validation of Obama's powers of persuasion. The president put energy reform a GuardianPetitions get OK in smoking fight Opponents of an expanded smoking ban that was to begin July 1 have enough valid signatures to delay its implementation and put the issue on next year's November election ballot, South Dakota's secretary of state said Thursday.

But, choosing an online law school has some very serious drawbacks that can make it difficult to become a practicing attorney.

AboutThe Republic of Egypt is Declared ? 18 June 1953 During the pre-revolution period before 1952 there were three main political groups in Egypt: Wafd, a nationalist organization which opposed British influence; King Faruk I, installed by the British, and the British who wished to maintain control of the Suez Canal. Meanwhile the Muslim Brotherhood was growing in power in the background. Anti-British feeling grew after World War II, and British troops were withdrawn to cover just the Suez Canal in '47. In July 1952 the 'Free Officers', a revolutionary group lead by Lt. Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser, organized a coup against King Faruk whom they blamed for Egypt's poor economic and military performance. Instead they installed King Fuad II as head of state, advised by a Council of Regency the Revolutionary Command Council. In September that year General Muhammad Naguib became prime minister. On 19 June 1953 the Free Officers abrogated the existing constitution (created in 1923) and declared Egypt a republic.
