| Three witnesses won't be charged in Ohio football rape case: documents Posted: 10 Jan 2013 06:20 PM PST (Reuters) - At least three members of a high school football team in Steubenville, Ohio, received word they would not be prosecuted just days before testifying against teammates accused of raping a 16-year-old girl, according to documents obtained by Reuters. In letters from Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's office addressed to each student's lawyer, the state committed to not prosecuting Evan Westlake, Anthony Craig and Mark Cole, three witnesses for the prosecution.

| Judge won't block New York City circumcision law Posted: 10 Jan 2013 04:34 PM PST NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Manhattan federal judge refused to block a New York City regulation requiring people who perform circumcisions and use their mouths to draw away blood from the wound on a baby's penis to first obtain written consent from the parents. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald refused to issue a preliminary injunction to temporarily block the change to the city's health code, which some members of the city's Orthodox Jewish communities called an unwarranted government intrusion on religious freedom.

| Boeing Dreamliner fuel leak traced to valve-related problem Posted: 10 Jan 2013 05:29 PM PST TOKYO (Reuters) - A valve-related problem caused a fuel leak on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner at Boston airport earlier this week, operator Japan Airlines Co. Ltd said on Thursday. In one of several problems relating to Boeing's newest model in recent weeks, about 40 gallons of fuel spewed onto the taxiway in Boston, compelling the plane to cancel take-off and to return to the gate. "The cause of the fuel leak in Boston was an issue surrounding the valve," a JAL spokesman said. No reason was given for the problem, which caused the valve to open. ... |
| U.S. Border Patrol beefs up California coast enforcement Posted: 10 Jan 2013 05:26 PM PST SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - The U.S. Border Patrol has assigned more agents to the Southern California coast following an increase in attempts to smuggle people and drugs into the United States by water, a Border Patrol official said. The agency's San Diego Sector, which employs some 2,600 agents to police 60 miles of land border and 114 miles of coast, has seen maritime apprehensions triple in the past five years while arrests on land have dropped to less than a sixth of 2008 levels. ... |

The agency criticized some 911 providers for suffering outages that resulted from "avoidable" problems as basic as a lack of backup power, following a freak 2012 storm . ... |
| Florida slashes estimated cost of Medicaid expansion to $3 billion Posted: 10 Jan 2013 12:21 PM PST TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters) - In a dramatic about-face, Florida's health agency now says the cost to state taxpayers of expanding Medicaid under President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law would be barely more than a tenth of its original estimate. Governor Rick Scott, a Republican who had fought hard against the reform law known as Obamacare, had complained on Monday that the optional expansion of Medicaid under Obamacare would cost Florida taxpayers $26 billion over the next decade, using the original estimate by the state's Agency for Health Care Administration. ... |
| New York State ranks first for smuggled cigarettes in U.S. Posted: 10 Jan 2013 10:15 AM PST (Reuters) - New York State sells more bootlegged cigarettes than any state, with 60.9 percent of the cigarettes sold secreted into its borders improperly, according to a report released on Thursday. Arizona and New Mexico also had high rates of smuggled cigarettes, at 54.4 percent and 53.0 percent, respectively, according to the Tax Foundation, a Washington, D.C., business-oriented tax research organization.

| Drought eases slightly, Plains states still suffering Posted: 10 Jan 2013 09:49 AM PST (Reuters) - The Plains remain tightly gripped by severe drought, according to a report issued Thursday, and fears mounted that another hot and dry year could lie ahead for the key crop-growing and cattle-grazing region. Good rains have fallen in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas over the last few days, which should provide some improvement to dry soils and shrunken rivers and streams. But generally the worst-hit areas remain in sad shape, said Brian Fuchs, climatologist with the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. ... |
