WASHINGTON – A second House Democrat, Rep. Maxine Waters of California, could face an ethics trial this fall, further complicating the election outlook for the party as it battles to retain its majority.

People familiar with the investigation, who were not authorized to be quoted about charges before they are made public, say the allegations could be announced next week. The House ethics committee declined Friday to make any public statement on the matter... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100731/ap_on_go_co/us_waters_ethics

The Daily Caller: Keith Olbermann’s summer vacation: We watch, because we’re paid to

Keith Olbermann’s summer vacation: We watch, because we’re paid to

By Ruth Graham | Published: 9:13 AM 07/23/2010 | Updated: 2:26 PM 07/24/2010

I don’t know about you, but when I take a long vacation, I like to turn off my phone, leave home and see the world. When Keith Olbermann takes a vacation, he holes up in his apartment, Tweets unceasingly and becomes so angry about minor political squabbles that he then has to come back into the office to lecture us about it on air. It’s like the saying goes: A blowhard’s work is never done. Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2010/07/23/my-summer-vacation-by-keith-olbermann-we-watch-because-were-paid-to/#ixzz0v9CzFNjF

IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY, TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL DYING
The politicians need to stop playing politics with crime statistics

THE CITIZENS OF BALTIMORE DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT

AN INVESTIGATIVE VOICE EDITORIAL

By Senior Reporter Stephen Janis

That’s it, it’s over.

This week officially marks the proverbial final call for the mantra that seems to accompany every outbreak of violence.

Crime is down.

Even if it’s a statistical fact, the citizens of Baltimore don’t want to hear it.

Since Friday, seven people have been murdered including two overnight Monday as the city is reeling from the accounts of Johns Hopkins University researcher Stephen Pitcairn talking to his mother on a cellphone as he died from a vicious stab wound to the chest in Charles Village. http://investigativevoice.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5227:crime-a-punishment-reconsidered&catid=25:the-project&Itemid=44

Alberto Contador (Astana) celebrates his third Tour win

view thumbnail gallery

Tour winner could team-up with Bjarne Riis

Speculation that Alberto Contador may team up with Bjarne Riis in 2011 is growing after the Tour de France winner refused to sign a new deal with the Astana team in Paris on Sunday and issued a statement saying that he and Astana will go separate ways when their contract ends later this year.

During the Tour de France, Contador said he was likely to stay with Astana. However his brother Fran is now negotiating a deal with a new team for 2011. The statement says Contador “wants to have time to calmly explore all possibilities available to him for the coming seasons. But so far none has been excluded.”

The Astana team moved quickly to confirm the separation, saying: "By setting a dead line on July 25 evening of the arrival of the Tour de France and then extending it to 48 hours as he had requested, we thought we had complied with the wishes of Alberto Contador. We have never put any pressure, we have always acted according to his will. His decision to leave does not depend on us but on other outside proposals. We respect his choice, and wish him good luck." http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/contador-to-leave-astana-at-end-of-season

Washington Post News Alert: Judge blocks the most controversial sections of Arizona's immigration law from taking effect

News Alert: Judge blocks the most controversial sections of Arizona's immigration law from taking effect
01:22 PM EDT Wednesday, July 28, 2010

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/28/AR2010072801794.html

PHOENIX -- A judge has blocked the most controversial sections of Arizona's new immigration law from taking effect Thursday, handing a major legal victory to opponents of the crackdown.

The law will still take effect Thursday, but without many of the provisions that angered opponents - including sections that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws. The judge also put on hold a part of the law that required immigrants to carry their papers at all times, and made it illegal for undocumented workers to solicit employment in public places... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/28/AR2010072801794.html
