FILE: Undated: The Keystone Oil Pipeline under construction in North Dakota
in this undated photograph released on the Obama administration on January
18, 2012.REUTERSThe Keystone XL Pipeline has emerged as a major issue in
the Massachusetts special U.S. Senate election, with environmental groups
committing nearly one-third of the $1.25 million in outside money already
spent on campaigns.The biggest spender so far is the League of Conservation
Voters, which has already spent more than $545,000 to help elect Democratic
candidate and Rep. Ed Markey, who has a strong pro-environment platform.Our
field campaign is resonating with voters across Massachusetts, said Navin
Nayak, a political specialist for the group. The people of Massachusetts
want climate change champion Ed Markey representing them. The group also
plans to spend about $100,000 more to knock on the doors of
more than 240,000 likely Democratic primary voters before the April 30 primaries.Supporters
of the Canada-to-Texas pipeline are urging the Obama administration to approve
the project to create thousands of jobs and make the United States
less dependent on foreign oil. However, critics say drilling for oil in
Canadas dirty tar sand will release greenhouse gas emissions.Markey faces
fellow Democratic Rep. Stephen Lynch in the party primary and holds a
double-digit lead, according to most polls. The winner will face the top
vote-getter in the Republican primary that features for
EDS NOTE: NUDITY - A man throws a box toward a FEMEN
activist during a protest in front of the Grand Mosque in Paris,
Wednesday, April 3, 2013. The radical feminists, calling for more sexual
freedom for Arab women, were protesting in support of a young Tunisian
woman who received online death threats from ultraconservative Muslims after
posting topless photos of herself online. (AP Photo/Christophe Ena)The Associated
PressTUNIS, Tunisia A 19-year-old Tunisian who bared her breasts and taunted
Muslim hard-liners says that she fears for her life and wants to
take refuge abroad.The Ukraine-based group Femen, which stages pranks for
women's and gay rights, apparently inspired the bold act of the woman
known only as Amina. The group held an International Topless Jihad
day last Thursday in support of Muslim women, including Amina.Amina went
into hiding after reportedly receiving death threats. But she reappeared
in an interview broadcast Saturday with the French cable TV station Canal
Plus at her refuge in a village hours from the Tunisian capital.She
told Canal Plus that "I must leave Tunisia."Amina said she fears for
her life in her homeland, but will keep her Femen principles "until
I'm 80."

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> just have a patchwork of bills with
no consistency, said Sean Johnson, the Maryland State Teachers Associations
managing director of legislative and legal affairs.Johnson acknowledged
some issues are best decided on a local level but not in
this case, in which some workers pay for union representatives to negotiate
fair pay and benefits while others do not.Right now, 24 states have
right-to-work statues, which prohibit unions from requiring employees to
join or pay dues as a condition of employment, according to the
National Right to Work Foundation.The right to work has been on the
march for several decades, said Greg Mourad, vice president for the Right
to Work Committee. And Maryland is moving in the wrong direction in
relation to the rest of America.He also said the recent efforts by
governors in Indian and Michigan that made their states right to work
states stunned a lot of people.Mourad said the key points are employees
want freedom in the workplace and employers want to open businesses where
they can treat their employees fairly and they wont be forced to
join unions. The new Maryland legislation is an extension of 2009 legislation
passed by the Assembly -- at the request of the American Federation
of State, County and Municipal Employees that requires all state workers
except teachers to pay the fees.Right now, teachers in Baltimore City and
nine of the states 23 counties already pay the fee, as do
all other state employees
e.""It's the very definition of government
intrusion in a woman's personal medical decisions," he said.Brownback has
signed multiple anti-abortion measures into law, and the number of pregnancies
terminated in the state has declined 11 percent since he took office
in January 2011.The governor said he still has to review this year's
bill thoroughly but added, "I am pro-life."This year's legislation is less
restrictive than a new North Dakota law that bans abortions as early
as the sixth week of pregnancy and a new Arkansas law prohibiting
most abortions after the 12th week. But many abortion opponents still see
it as a significant step."There is a clear statement from Kansas with
respect to the judgment on the inherent value of human life," said
Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee Chairwoman Mary Pilcher-Cook,
a Shawnee Republican and leading advocate for the measure.The bill passed
despite any solid data on how many sex-selection abortions are performed
in Kansas. A 2008 study by two Columbia University economists suggested
the practice of aborting female fetuses -- widespread in some nations where
parents traditionally prefer sons -- is done in the U.S. on a
limited basis.But legislators on both sides of the issue said the practice
should be banned, however frequent it is.The bill also would require physicians
to give women information that addresses breast cancer as a potential risk
of abortion. Advocates on both sides acknowle
