Energized Muslim Brotherhood in Libya Eyes a Prize
“By Paul Cruickshank and Tim Lister (CNN) — Dr. Abdulmonem Hresha knows first hand how Moammar Gadhafi’s regime works…
The prominent member of the Muslim Brotherhood now lives in London, and anticipates the group could become an important player in a post-Gadhafi environment.
As in Egypt and Tunisia, the Brotherhood in Libya has been energized by the sudden upheaval sweeping the Arab world.
It says it has no organizational links with the Brotherhood elsewhere, but shares the philosophy of the pan-Arab Islamist movement founded in Egypt in the 1920s…
Despite years of repression, Hresha claims the Brotherhood still has thousands of members scattered across Libya, with chapters in almost every single town, including Sirte, Gadhafi’s birthplace on the coast west of Tripoli.
In 2006, its leaders were released after reconciling with the Libyan regime. But now the Brotherhood is siding with the rebellion.” Read more.

CDC: ‘Superbug’ That Kills 40% Of The People Who Come In Contact With It Spreads to 35 States
By Joe Weisenthal, Business Insider:
“The joke that’s going around is that the Mayans got it wrong: The world is ending this year, not 2012.
Here’s the lates sign of that.
A superbug is spreading around America, and has hit Southern California.
A dangerous drug-resistant bacterium has spread to patients in Southern California, according to a study by Los Angeles County public health officials.
More than 350 cases of the Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, or CRKP, have been reported at healthcare facilities in Los Angeles County, mostly among elderly patients at skilled-nursing and long-term care facilities, according to a study by Dr. Dawn Terashita, an epidemiologist with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
It was not clear from the study how many of the infections proved fatal, but other studies in the U.S. and Israel have shown that about 40% of patients with the infection die. Tereshita was not available for comment Thursday morning but was scheduled to speak about the study in the afternoon.
Here’s a map from the CDC of states where it has been reported:
What’s in the Venice, Florida Beach Water? Health Inspectors Baffled
“By Adam Freeman – VENICE, FLORIDA — On what looked like the picture perfect day at Venice Beach on Wednesday, there was actually a problem.
Bacteria in the water forced the Sarasota Health Department to repost advisories, warning people not to go swimming.
‘I don’t understand it. Many other people don’t understand it either,’ said Emilio Tavernise, vacationing from Ohio, ‘it aggravates you because you are on the beach and you can’t swim.’
The warnings are back in the same place they’ve been for most of the past month. After being taken down last week, recent water samples forced health inspectors to put them up again.
Tavernise says many of his vacationing friends have already run out of patience.
‘Between 85 and 95% got disgusted enough where they jumped in their car and either went that way or the other way,’ he explained.
The health department says the bacteria may cause stomach illness, rashes, or infections, especially to children and the elderly.
But inspectors say they’re frustrated because they can’t figure out exactly what’s causing the problem.” Read more.

Emergency Workers Flee Nuclear Plant After Report of Radioactivity Reaching ’10 Million Times Higher Than Normal’
(AP) “TOKYO — Emergency workers struggling to pump contaminated water from Japan’s stricken nuclear complex fled from one of the troubled reactors Sunday after reporting a huge increase in radioactivity — a spike that officials later apologetically said was inaccurate.
The apology came after employees fled the complex’s Unit 2 reactor when a reading showed radiation levels had reached 10 million times higher than normal in the reactor’s cooling system. Officials said they were so high that the worker taking the measurements had withdrawn before taking a second reading.
On Sunday night, though, plant operators said that while the water was contaminated with radiation, the extremely high reading was a mistake.
‘The number is not credible,’ said Tokyo Electric Power Co. spokesman Takashi Kurita. ‘We are very sorry.’
He said officials were taking another sample to get accurate levels, but did not know when the results would be announced.” Read more.
Update: It’s ‘only’ 100,000 times higher than normal.

Sun Eruption Creates Spectacular Plasma Tentacle
“A NASA spacecraft watching the sun has caught a dazzling view of a solar eruption that launched a vast tendril of magnetic plasma into space.
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the sun tentacle, which scientists call a solar prominence, on March 19 as it erupted into space with a rounded, twisting motion.
The eruption occurred over five hours as SDO watched the sun in the ultraviolet range of the light spectrum, SDO mission scientists said in a statement. The solar observatory watched as the prominence twisted up from the sun and expanded, then became unstable.
Ultimately, the sun filament lost cohesion and its particles streamed away from the sun.” Read more.
Muslims Seeking to Occupy Europe’s ‘Empty’ Churches to Pray Their Friday Prayers
Let’s ask them if Christians can use their empty mosques on Sunday to worship Jesus and see the response they give. This may not be ‘radical Islam’ per se, but it is a ‘radical’ idea that every Christian should be against. This is only asking for trouble …
“Rome (AsiaNews) – A Muslim group has asked to use the empty churches in France for Muslims to pray in, solving (at the expense of Christians) the traffic problems caused by Muslims who pray in the streets. Fr. Khalial Samir Samir, an expert scholar of Islam, reflects on the embarrassing proposal, calling for Islam in Europe to become more ‘European’ and less ‘Arab’.
In a press release published Friday, March 11, 2011, the ‘Banlieuses Respect’ Collective asked authorities in charge of organization of the Church of France, to place at Muslims’ disposal ’empty churches for Friday prayers’. Hassan M. Ben Barek, a spokesman for the Collective, said the measure would ‘prevent Muslims from having to pray on the streets’ and being ‘politicians’ hostages’.
In fact, for several years now, every Friday, alongside dozens of mosques in France, Muslims have blocked the surrounding streets for an hour or two, spreading mats on the roads to pray. In many cases, local authorities close their eyes to this offense, and in some cases the police are there to ensure the safety of those who block the streets. This situation is on the rise in France (for example, Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier. Montreuil, Nice, Paris, Puteaux, Strasbourg, Torcy …). A situation that is found all over the world (Athens, Brussels, Birmingham, Cordova, Moscow, New York …) and also in Italy (Albenga, Canicattì, Como, Gallarate, Milan, Modena, Moncalieri, Naples, Rome …). In the Muslim world this phenomenon is present, especially in Egypt. On 10 December, in Lyon, Marine Le Pen (National Front) denounced the Muslims ‘street prayers’, which led to negative reactions towards the Muslim community in France.” Read more.
