Child Killing Center 'Sacred and Holy Ground'?
by La Shawn Barber
The city of Houston boasts the largest regional Planned Parenthood in the nation. The 78,000 square-foot building will serve as headquarters for 35 counties in Texas and Louisiana.
During the opening of the abortion mill, the audience is heard reciting or repeating something about "sacred and holy ground" on the video. Were they praying (to whom?), and if so, were they referring to the center as sacred and holy ground?

Gulf of Mexico oil spill 2010: The worst-case scenario
by Ben Raines
The worst-case scenario for the broken and leaking well gushing oil into the Gulf of Mexico would be the loss of the wellhead currently restricting the flow to 5,000 barrels -- or 210,000 gallons per day.
If the wellhead is lost, oil could leave the well at a much greater rate, perhaps up to 150,000 barrels -- or more than 6 million gallons per day -- based on government data showing daily production at another deepwater Gulf well.

Indictment of family in death of 8-year-old Reserve boy invalidated
by Victoria St. Martin
A district court judge voided an indictment that charged a Reserve family with murder in connection to the 2008 death of their 8-year-old son because a sheriff's deputy sat on the grand jury.
However, it's unclear whether that means all charges will be dropped or whether an earlier indictment reached by another panel of jurors would simply replace the one voided.

With Racial Prejudice Toward None
by Rabbi Nachum Shifren
Los Angeles -- My classroom lay in ashes. The acrid smell of asbestos permeated the thick air in the "C" building, where police had cordoned off the area with bright yellow tape, forbidding the entry of staff and students.
The entire wing of our language building would be closed for an entire six weeks. Collateral damage done to the adjacent classrooms meant that a slew of teachers would be "traveling", juggling books, tests, overhead transparencies, and supplies, like gypsies, bivouacking through lunch areas, track bleachers, even lawn areas of the senior quad.

Report blasts juvenile group-home care
by Jan Moller
Louisiana's oversight of private group homes for abused and neglected children is inadequate, and conditions are often abysmal in facilities that are charged with caring for some of the state's most vulnerable residents.
The litany of problems in group homes investigated by the Advocacy Center ranges from poorly trained staff and shoddy facilities to a failure to provide adequate medical and dental care. And the state rarely punishes homes that run afoul of state regulations.

Investigation begins with 44 subpoenas
by Edward Epstein
The House Ethics Committee voted Thursday to issue 44 subpoenas as it began what its leaders promised will be a wide-ranging investigation into a congressional page sex scandal.
Foley, 52, the chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, quit after revelations about sexually explicit e-mails and instant messages he had sent to underage House pages. Hastert and other Republican leaders have been battered by questions about whether they failed to respond when a 16-year-old page from Louisiana told about e-mails, he had received from Foley.
