PHOENIX—Arizona's two U.S. senators said Thursday they are concerned about reports of a large number of sex-crime investigations being botched by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office during a three-year period ending in 2007. Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl issued a written statement involving the reopening of 432 sex-crime cases -- including dozens of alleged child molestations -- after the sheriff's office learned the cases hadn't been investigated adequately or weren't examined at all. "Victims of abuse not only deserve the respect of law enforcement, but their rights must also be protected throughout the criminal justice process," the statement...

Baghdad - Vendors and shopkeepers are gearing up for business along a market street in the northeastern neighborhood of Adhamiya, when a platoon of American soldiers disgorges from Humvees. The soldiers fan out up and down the street. Even on a low-key patrol to make their presence known and gather intel, the soldiers have to stay on the qui vive. Eyes dart up to rooftops and down side alleys; while one soldier smiles and nods greetings to a vendor, another peers to the back of the store. From a distance the soldiers are indistinguishable: domed helmets, dark glasses, and tight-fitting...

As of right now, though, Gov. Martin O’Malley has told the animal righteous people — not in so many words, of course — to pound sand. The animal righteous people, aka Humane Society of the United States, tried to pressure the governor into stopping the bear hunt that kicks off tomorrow in Garrett and Allegany counties. The Humane Society of the United States has pretty deep pockets, so the full-page ad it placed in The (Baltimore) Sun Monday was no big deal, fiscally speaking. The animal righteous people (ARP) ... think it makes a hunter look bad if he is...

A small congregation in Mississippi has been granted its request to be dismissed from the Presbyterian Church (USA) with its property. But the dismissal comes with a price: a $30,000 gift to be "placed in an appropriate fund," according to St. Andrew Presbytery. By voice vote, presbytery commissioners agreed at their stated meeting May 1 to dismiss the 94-member French Camp Presbyterian Church in French Camp, Miss. The vote comes nearly nine months after the session made a written request to the presbytery to be "graciously" released with its property. The French Camp church will be received into the smaller,...

JAMES REYNOLDS SCIENCE CORRESPONDENT AMATEUR radio hams are usually excited by the faint buzz of a distant shortwave station, but a group of scientists believe they have received a message from extra-terrestrials. Astronomers think that a signal picked up by a radio telescope last year shows the highest probability yet that ET’s family may have returned his call. In February 2003, scientists involved in the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI) pointed the huge radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, at about 200 sections of the sky. Unexplained radio signals had been detected twice by the same telescope in these areas...

Mysterious signals from 1000 light years away 19:00 01 September 04 In February 2003, astronomers involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) pointed the massive radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, at around 200 sections of the sky. The same telescope had previously detected unexplained radio signals at least twice from each of these regions, and the astronomers were trying to reconfirm the findings. The team has now finished analysing the data, and all the signals seem to have disappeared. Except one, which has got stronger. This radio signal, now seen on three separate occasions, is...
