Key events in Egypt's uprising and unrest
CAIRO (AP) ? Egypt's military-backed interim president dissolved the Islamist-dominated upper house of parliament on Friday as soldiers opened fire on mostly Islamist protesters in Cairo, killing at least one person.
The unrest comes after the military ousted President Mohammed Morsi, an Islamist, from power after several days of mass demonstrations against him.
Here are some key events from more than two years of turmoil and transition in Egypt:
Jan. 25-Feb. 11, 2011 ? Egyptians stage nationwide demonstrations against the rule of President Hosni Mubarak. Hundreds of protesters are killed as Mubarak and his allies try to crush the uprising.
Feb. 11 ? Mubarak steps down and turns power over to the military. The military dissolves parliament and suspends the constitution, meeting two key demands of protesters.
March 19 ? In the first post-Mubarak vote, Egyptians cast ballots on constitutional amendments sponsored by the military. The measures are overwhelmingly approved.
Oct. 9 ? Troops crush a protest by Christians in Cairo over a church attack, killing more than 25 protesters.
Nov. 28, 2011-Feb 15, 2012 ? Egypt holds multistage, weekslong parliamentary elections. In the lawmaking lower house, the Muslim Brotherhood wins nearly half the seats, and ultraconservative Salafis take another quarter. The remainder goes to liberal, independent and secular politicians. In the largely powerless upper house, Islamists take nearly 90 percent of the seats.
May 23-24, 2012 ? The first round of voting in presidential elections has a field of 13 candidates. Morsi and Ahmed Shafiq, the last prime minister under Mubarak, emerge as the top two finishers, to face each other in a runoff.
June 14 ? The Supreme Constitutional Court orders the dissolving of the lower house of parliament.
June 16-17 ? Egyptians vote in the presidential runoff between Morsi and Shafiq. Morsi wins with 51.7 percent of the vote.
June 30 ? Morsi takes his oath of office.
Aug. 12 ? Morsi orders the retirement of the top Mubarak-era leadership of the military.
Nov. 19 ? Members of liberal parties and representatives of Egypt's churches withdraw from the 100-member assembly writing the constitution, protesting attempts by Islamists to impose their will.
Nov. 22 ? Morsi unilaterally decrees greater powers for himself, giving his decisions immunity from judicial review and barring the courts from dissolving the constituent assembly and the upper house of parliament. The move sparks days of protests.
Nov. 30 ?Islamists in the constituent assembly rush to complete the draft of the constitution. Morsi sets a Dec. 15 date for a referendum.
Dec. 4 ? More than 100,000 protesters march on the presidential palace, demanding the cancellation of the referendum and the writing of a new constitution. The next day, Islamists attack an anti-Morsi sit-in, sparking street battles that leave at least 10 dead.
Dec. 15, Dec. 22 ? In the two-round referendum, Egyptians approve the constitution, with 63.8 percent voting in favor. Turnout is low.
Dec. 29 ? The Egyptian Central Bank announces that foreign reserves ? drained to $15 billion from $36 billion in 2010 ? have fallen to a "critical minimum" and tries to stop a sharp slide in the value of the Egyptian pound. It now stands at just more than 7 to the dollar, compared to 5.5 to the dollar in 2010.
Jan. 25, 2013 ? Hundreds of thousands hold protests against Morsi on the 2-year anniversary of the start of the revolt against Mubarak, and clashes erupt in many places.
Feb.-March 2013 ? Protests rage in Port Said and other cities for weeks, with dozens more dying in clashes.
April 7 ? A Muslim mob attacks the main cathedral of the Coptic Orthodox Church as Christians hold a funeral and protest there over four Christians killed in sectarian violence the day before. Pope Tawadros II publicly blames Morsi for failing to protect the building.
May 7 ? Morsi reshuffles his Cabinet. Officials say the changes aim to finalize long-stalled negotiations with the International Monetary Fund for a crucial $4.8 billion loan, which requires reductions to fuel and food subsidies. A deal on the loan has still not been reached.
June 23 ? A mob beats to death four Egyptian Shiites in a village on the outskirts of Cairo.
June 30 ? Millions of Egyptians demonstrate, calling for Morsi to step down. Eight people are killed in clashes outside the Muslim Brotherhood's Cairo headquarters.
July 1 ? Large-scale demonstrations continue, and Egypt's powerful military gives the president and the opposition 48 hours to resolve their disputes, or it will impose its own solution.
July 2 ? Military officials disclose main details of the army's plan if no agreement is reached: replacing Morsi with an interim administration, canceling the Islamist-based constitution and calling elections in a year. Morsi delivers a late-night speech in which he pledges to defend his legitimacy and vows not to step down.
July 3 ? Egypt's military chief announces that Morsi has been deposed, to be replaced by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Constitutional Court until new presidential elections. No time frame is given. Muslim Brotherhood leaders are arrested.
July 4 ? Supreme Constitutional Court Chief Justice Mansour Adly is sworn in as Egypt's interim president.
July 5 ? Adly dissolves the Islamist-dominated upper house of parliament as soldiers open fire on mostly Islamist protesters in Cairo demanding restoration of Morsi, killing at least one person.

Minn. Senate leader Hann out of GOP governor race
Minn. Senate leader Hann out of GOP governor race
The Associated PressST. PAUL, Minn. ? The Republican leader of the Minnesota Senate is not running for governor next year.
Sen. David Hann of Eden Prairie says Friday he's not joining the growing field of Republicans in the 2014 race. Hann says he decided his job as the Senate minority leader deserves full attention.
Hann unsuccessfully sought the GOP nomination for governor in 2010 and was seen as a possible contender as Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton seeks reelection next year.
Republicans already in the race are businessman Scott Honour, Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson, former House Speaker Kurt Zellers and state Sen. Dave Thompson. Several others are still eyeing the race as well.
Hann says he wants to help House Republicans regain a majority in 2014 and work toward a new Senate Republican majority in 2016.

Blaze destroys Palmyra home while family attends Stadium of Fire ...
Investigation ? Palmyra family displaced; fire started near barbecue.
A Palmyra family lost everything Thursday night when a fire destroyed their home while they celebrated Independence Day in Provo.
Utah County fire officials learned of the blaze at 10:19 p.m. and soon took up defensive positions around the home at 2189 W. 4000 South.
County fire marshal Dennis Barcker said crews from the county, Mapleton, Salem and Spanish Fork fought the fire until after 3 a.m. A sheriff?s deputy watched the fire through the night, and when it rekindled Friday morning crews used a track hoe to demolish the still-burning structure.
"It was such extensive damage that we couldn?t put it out last night," Barker said.
Late Friday morning, Barker said crews were just finishing up. He called the home a complete loss.
The blaze displaced a mother, father and two or three children, Barker said.
Investigators have been unable to determine exactly how the fire began. Barker said the family had a barbecue Thursday evening, then left to attend the Stadium of Fire in Provo. The fire began in the vicinity of the barbecue, though Barker said it was new and that the family turned it off. He speculated that something hot could have worked its way into the home?s vinyl siding or deck and then ignited later.
"Once that vinyl starts burning it?s just about like gasoline," Barker said. "It goes fast."
Despite the lack of definitive answers about the fire?s origin, investigators did not consider it suspicious Friday morning.
A neighbor and a passer-by both reported the fire. Firefighters took a defensive position outside the home because, Barker said, it was too dangerous to go inside. He added that the second-story floors collapsed.
story continues below
In addition, water was not available in the area ? located northwest of Spanish Fork ? for fire crews, who were forced to bring it in with trucks.
According to Barker, the family managed to salvage a few photos and a pair of boots, but lost everything else.

Samsung sells 20 million Galaxy S 4 handsets, according to Korean media
So, JK Shin hasn't emerged from Samsung's HQ declaring that his company has sold 20 million Galaxy S 4s, but the day (and week) is still young. Korea's news media is quoting the CEO as saying that Samsung's flagship Jay-Z player / handset has seen its sales double from the 10 million that was announced at the tail-end of May. Given that we're but a few days away from the company's next earnings estimates, we'll probably find out for certain soon enough.

Report: Lovefilm will cease UK game rentals by August 8th
Lovefilm has told Eurogamer that it will no longer offer game rentals by mail in the UK after August 8th. Additionally, the Amazon division confirmed via its blog that the option is no longer available to new subscribers. In addition, existing customers will no longer be able to add the service, a fact that only came to light when someone spotted it on a company FAQ (see the More Coverage link). Lovefilm apologized profusely for the non-communication, and explained that the change was made so it could focus on streaming content instead. It promised to contact subscribers "in the very near future" to confirm the policy, and "strive to communicate directly with our customers" rather than letting them find out through the media. The firm's yet to actually confirm that the service will be cut off completely next month, however -- perhaps that would be a good place to start.
