Battle over whether same-sex adoption grants parental rights
In Houston a lesbian couple fights for recognition of an eight year old girl’s parentage after a 2001 adoption. Julie Hobbs claims the adoption to Janet Van Stavern is void since Texas law requires termination of the biological parent or marriage to the nonbiological parent. Court arguments focus on parental rights and the best interests of the child amid Texas’ nonrecognition of same sex marriages.

BRAVO study links sulfur dioxide to visibility issues in Big Bend area
The BRAVO project finds sulfate causes 60 to 70 percent of visibility problems with 37 monitoring sites including three near Big Bend. Emissions come mostly from the eastern U.S. Ohio River Valley, while Mexico’s Carbon plants account for about 9 percent. A national sulfur dioxide reduction effort via the EPA Clean Air Interstate Rule could cut 70 percent for 28 states, including Texas. Mexico did not participate in 1999.

The method widens the artery by core removal, is disposable, and targets patients with peripheral vascular disease where stents are not approved.
