Treated Bed Nets Critical to Eradicating Debilitating Tropical Disease Aug 21st 2013, 22:38, by webdesk@voanews.com (Steve Herman) Inexpensive bed nets treated with insecticide may hold the key to eradicating a debilitating disease that threatens one-fifth of the world's population - mainly those living in Southeast Asia and Africa. Scientists say they have been able to demonstrate that the most common cause of the tropical disease elephantiasis can be virtually eradicated - even in lieu of medication - if those at risk sleep under nets treated with chemicals that kill mosquitoes.

Manning Supporters Disappointed By Lengthy Sentence Aug 21st 2013, 23:22, by webdesk@voanews.com (Carla Babb) The military and the government have deemed U.S. Army Private Bradley Manning a lawbreaker. But supporters say he a whistleblower, and they have spoken out after a military judge sentenced him Wednesday to 35 years in prison for giving U.S. secrets to WikiLeaks. Shocking. Unfair. Those are the words supporters used to describe Bradley Manning's 35-year prison sentence for giving U.S. secrets to WikiLeaks - secrets that sparked a dialogue about the activities of the U.S. military in Iraq ...

Divers are working in the waters off the Palos Verdes Peninsula in places known as barrens, which once were home to thriving kelp forests.
