| Oklahoma court rejects ballot initiative on "personhood" Posted: OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Monday struck down a ballot initiative that sought voter approval of a so-called "personhood" amendment to the state constitution to define an embryo as a human being from the moment of conception. The ballot question would have asked Oklahoma voters to expand the definition of a human being to include a fertilized egg. But the state's highest court said the proposed constitutional amendment was "void on its face" because the U.S. Supreme Court already has decided the issue. ... |

| Colorado prosecutors using DNA to free man convicted of 1994 murder Posted: GRAND JUNCTION, Co. (Reuters) - Colorado prosecutors, citing new DNA proof of innocence, asked a judge on Monday to free a man they say was wrongly convicted and has spent nearly 16 years of a life prison term for the rape and murder of a woman found strangled with a dog leash.

| Bomb-sniffing dogs enlisted to stem Florida python invasion Posted: ORLANDO (Reuters) - Some bomb-sniffing dogs trained to help fight terrorism are turning their olfactory attention toward a different scourge: Burmese pythons in Florida's Everglades National Park. The dogs are members of "EcoDogs," a three-year-old collaboration at Alabama's Auburn University between the science departments and the school's Canine Detection Research Institute, which trains dogs to detect explosives. "The dogs are really, really good," said Christina Romagosa, a biologist at Auburn. She said in a test of python detection in south Florida, the dogs could cover a search area 2. ... |
| Pension assets of states, local governments jump Posted: (Reuters) - Stocks, bonds and other investments held by pension systems run by U.S. states and local governments jumped 10.6 percent in value to $2.7 trillion in 2010 after two back-to-back years of asset drops, the U.S. Census said on Monday. The gains were mostly due to rises in financial markets after the global credit crunch and may temper anxieties about under funded pension systems for school teachers, police and other government workers. The Census said earnings on investments held by the 3,418 plans included in the report totaled $346.1 billion, compared with losses of $621. ... |
