A North Carolina lawmaker says he regrets any embarrassment caused by a
resolution that was proposed and defeated - this week that would
have given the state the right to declare an official religion.The resolution
was filed Monday by two Republican legislators and co-signed by 11 others.The
bill was filed in response to a lawsuit filed in March by
the American Civil Liberties Union against the Rowan County Board of Commissioners,
which court records show opened 97 percent of its meetings in 2007
with Christian prayers. The ACLU accused the panel of violating the First
Amendment by routinely praying to Jesus Christ.One of the North Carolina
bills sponsors, Rep. Harry Warren, said the now-dead resolution was poorly
written. It declared that states are sovereign from federal oversight and
could independently "make laws respecting an establishment of religion."Warren
says he only intended to allow Rowan County officials to continue opening
meetings with prayer, not to establish a state religion.The commissioners,
who deliver the prayers themselves, routinely call on Jesus Christ and refer
to other sectarian beliefs during invocations, the ACLU wrote in a statement.
ulture, and she became the first
white member of a black gospel choir at a local university.Davis, a
50-year-old African-American, said he was bused to Boston's Brighton section
in 1976. Davis said neighborhood kids had paved the way at the
mostly white school by then, and he didn't experience bias.But as a
substance abuse counselor in Roxbury near where he grew up, Davis said
many clients have said busing-related trauma put them on a path to
addiction. He's heard stories from black clients about how white police
officers who were in schools called them names; others have confessed that
they threw rocks at white students.Some dropped out of school to avoid
conflicts that came with busing."For a lot of people this has never
been closed. This is still open. The pain that they feel has
never been addressed," Davis said.But for story circle participants like
Powell, talking about busing has been healing, as was her trip to
South Boston."It's sort of making myself whole ...," she said. "I had
no control as a child being bused, but as an adult I
can go into these spaces."

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">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
claimed to be based in Saudi Arabia paralyzed the websites of
Israel's stock exchange and national airline and claimed to have published
details of thousands of Israeli credit cards.A concerted effort to cripple
Israeli websites during November fighting in Gaza failed to cause serious
disruption. Israel said at the time that protesters barraged Israel with
more than 60 million hacking attempts.An official of the militant Hamas
movement that rules the Gaza Strip praised the current attack. "God bless
the minds and the efforts of the soldiers of the electronic battle,"
Ihab Al- Ghussian, Gaza's chief government spokesman, wrote on his official
Facebook page.
