Egypt’s ousted leader talks to family for 1st time – Asheville Citizen

Published in Asheville Attractions on September 19, 2013

CAIRO (AP) – Egypt’s ousted president, Mohammed Morsi, told his wife and children he is in good health in his first conversation with his family since the military removed him from office and detained him in a secret location more than two months ago, one of his lawyers said Wednesday.

The phone calls were an apparent gesture by the military as authorities prepare to put Morsi on trial on charges of inciting the killing of protesters during his year in office – though no date for the trial has been set. Morsi’s legal team has so far not been able to talk to him, said the lawyer, Mostafa Atteyah.

The trial of Egypt’s first freely elected president is one link in a wide-scale crackdown on his Muslim Brotherhood that has eviscerated its leadership and much of its crucial mid-level organizers. More than 2,000 jailed Brotherhood members are facing potential prosecution in multiple cases, with at least half a dozen cases already referred to trial.

Members of the Brotherhood’s legal team say the process so far has been confused and opaque, with their lawyers given little access to their clients or knowledge of the cases against them. Atteyah said they have not been able

Sixth Straight, Women’s Volleyball Sweeps IUPUI

Published in Asheville Attractions on September 18, 2013

   MUNCIE, Ind. – – The Ball State (9-3) women’s volleyball team ran its winning streak to six matches with a 3-0 (25-21, 25-15, 25-23) sweep of visiting IUPUI (4-8) Tuesday evening at Worthen Arena.

   With Ball State Sports Link televising the match state-wide, the Cardinals used a dominating attack to take down the in-state rival Jaguars for the fifth consecutive time in the series.

   “We knew it was going to be a tough match,” said Ball State head coach Steve Shondell. “IUPUI has played everyone tough this year and tonight was no different. We ran a great offense and were nearly unstoppable when we were in system, which helped carry us past IUPUI.”

   In setting the Ball State offense to a .304 (57-19-125) attack percentage for the match, senior setter Jacqui Seidel (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles East) collected her third double-double of the season with 51 assists and 13 digs.

   Seidel’s 51 assists were the most for a BSU player in a three-set match in the rally scoring era, topping the previous mark of 46 set by Brittany McGinnis versus Murray State Sept. 3, 2011.
