This April 2013 image shows Yosemite Valley at Yosemite National Park in
California.APTwo months after the sequester hit, the Department of Interior
continues to warn of coast-to-coast cuts for the country's national parks
-- and even the partial shutdown of a critical flood warning system.But
Sen. Tom Coburn says there's "no shortage of potential savings," pointing
out that the department is nevertheless spending millions on newly created
monuments and landmarks.The Oklahoma Republican, who has been hounding federal
agencies for weeks about questionable spending under the cloud of sequester,
aired his grievances with the Interior Department in a letter to Secretary
Sally Jewell Tuesday."It makes little sense to expand the number of sites
at the same time the budget of every other park is being
cut and visitors are being turned away from visiting the White House,"
Coburn wrote.Coburn pointedly questioned department efforts to name new
sites and expand others -- decisions that will contribute to the department's
annual costs. Coburn said the National Park Service has designated 13 new
historic landmarks and three new monuments since the sequester hit March
1. One of those landmarks, he noted, is a whiskey distillery --
the George T. Stagg Distillery in Kentucky. Other newly created landmarks
include the Connecticut home of abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, the
historic bridge crossed by civil rights marchers in Selma, Ala., and an

Aug. 29, 2012: Senator Kelly Ayotte addresses the second session of the
Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.ReutersWARREN, N.H. A
woman whose mother was killed in last year's school shooting in Newtown,
Conn., confronted Sen. Kelly Ayotte Tuesday during the senator's first public
appearance in New Hampshire since voting against gun control legislation.About
150 people attended the town hall meeting, where Ayotte defended her vote
against a bill that would have required criminal and mental health background
checks for people buying guns online or at gun shows.After the vote
two weeks ago, the New Hampshire Republican, a former prosecutor, expressed
concern that expanded background checks could harm the rights of gun owners."I'm
just wondering why the burden of my mother being gunned down in
the halls of her elementary school isn't as important," WMUR-TV reported
Erica Lafferty asking.Lafferty's mother, Dawn Hochsprung, was the principal
of Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 pupils and six educators were
slain in December. She died after lunging at the gunman to try
to stop him from firing.Ayotte said she was sorry for what Lafferty
has been through."And I think that ultimately when we look at what
happened in Sandy Hook we should have a fuller discussion to make
sure that doesn't happen again," she said.Ayotte said she hoped to find
some common ground but that she didn't think the enhanced background checks
that she vot

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">ised Watt as a first-rate selection. Both were
classmates at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Bowles, the
Democrat in a debt-tackling partnership with former Republican Sen. Alan
Simpson of Wyoming, said Watt brings "a bright mind, great work habits
and an understanding of how Washington works to the job."Hugh McColl, former
Bank of America chairman and CEO, also welcomed Watt's nomination. McColl
said he has known Watt for four decades, first meeting him through
his brother-in-law, former Rep. John Spratt, D-S.C., who attended Yale Law
School at the same time as Watt."What he brings to everything, doesn't
matter the subject, is an open mind," McColl said. "He has clarity
of thought."Charlotte is a major banking center, and the top donors to
Watt's political campaigns over the years have been bank political action
committees and bank officials and employees.His nomination comes nearly
a year after DeMarco, who has been acting director, stood by a
decision to bar Fannie and Freddie from reducing principal for borrowers
at risk of foreclosure, resisting pressure from the administration. DeMarco
long has opposed allowing the mortgage giants to offer principal reduction.In
March, attorneys general from nine states, led by Democrats Eric Schneiderman
of New York and Martha Coakley of Massachusetts, sent Obama a letter
saying that Fannie and Freddie under DeMarco have been a "direct impediment
to our economic recovery."
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, seen in this 2010 file photo, has vetoed
a bill that would have allowed guns on public college campuses.APArizona
is returning to its gold rush roots with a bill that would
make precious metals legal currency.The GOP-led Senate gave final approval
Tuesday to the bill that could make Arizona the second state in
the nation to recognize gold and silver as legal tender. If signed
into law by Gov. Jan Brewer, the measure would take effect in
2014.The state Department of Revenue opposed the measure. It passed in the
House only after an amendment was added to exempt the department from
having to accept gold or silver as tax payments.The measure reflects a
growing distrust of government-backed money amid the declining value of
the dollar, according to proponents. Republican Rep. David Livingston of
Peoria, a financial adviser who ushered the legislation through the House,
said his clients were eager to tap into their gold and silver
reserves.But Democrats, who voted against the measure in the Senate and
House, said it sends a false message to constituents that gold and
silver are safer than traditional currency."This is too extreme," Democratic
Sen. Steve Gallardo of Phoenix said. "We don't need it."Democratic Sen.
Steve Farley of Tucson said the measure is unnecessary and would create
long lines at businesses as store clerks inspect and weigh the gold
and silver. The measure would allow the use of precious metals as
