- On tighter US border with Mexico, violence rises
  Posted by Jeff from Christian Science Monitor
  I'm a liberal and I'm pro-border enforcement: The harder it gets to sneak illicit cargo – immigrants or drugs or other contraband – into the US, the more violence-prone the border has become, not only for border-crossers but also for law officers trying to halt the smuggling. The escalation in violent crime is most pronounced here in Arizona, where border-tightening measures have put a clamp on the preferred route of "coyotes" and smuggling rings.

- Heat Invades Cool Heights Over Arizona Desert
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  Legions of predatory insects have taken to the forest that mantles the upper mountain, killing trees weakened by record heat. And in 2003, a fire burned for a month, destroying much of the town and scarring more than 87,000 acres. The next year, another fire swept over 32,000 acres.

  Posted by Jeff from International Herald Tribune
  New Hampshire, meanwhile, moved in the opposite direction, with a state House of Representatives panel endorsing the creation of civil unions for same-sex couples.

- To Protest War, Councilman Forgoes the Pledge
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  He said he did not mind that his stand was angering people. “That’s what political speech is supposed to do,” Mr. Rawles said. “It’s supposed to infuriate and irritate and challenge and make people think. They apparently would prefer me just to walk lockstep and mouth ritualistic words to a mandatory ceremony.”

- Ariz. gets OK to require photo ID at polls - Politics
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  The justices cautioned that they were not issuing a ruling on the constitutionality of Arizona’s law. “As we have noted, the facts in these cases are hotly contested,” the court said in an unsigned five-page order. The ruling merely allows the Nov. 7 election to proceed with the photo ID law in place. Federal courts still will have to resolve a lawsuit contending that the law will disenfranchise numerous voters, particularly the elderly and minorities.
