Gay marriage backer wont seek re election
The Kansas Senate member who stood publicly for gay marriage will not seek re election. David Adkins says his priority is his role as a father and his family. He is the only senator to publicly back same sex marriage. The departure creates a shift in the chamber ahead of upcoming votes. The move draws attention to ongoing battles over marriage rights in the state. Adkins has represented his district for years and is known for his fiscal and social policy positions. He did not immediately indicate his successor or potential replacements.

Iraqi Governing Council taps U.S.-educated engineer for interim leadership
Ghazi al-Yawar, a 45-year-old Sunni engineer and tribal sheik, was named interim president with U.S. and United Nations support. The move comes as a car bomb killed three in central Baghdad and a roadside blast near Beiji killed 11, underscoring ongoing insurgent violence despite the power shakeup.
