Concerns rise over anti-prison rape law's fate
Congress passed a 2003 law to end prison rape, but debate grows over削 funding penalties. Advocates fear weakening the measure will hurt victims while backers push narrower funding aims. Data show about 216000 inmates face sexual assault yearly amid varied state compliance. Local examples include Michigan’s Camp Branch case and Texas facilities using federal funds for cameras and training.

NASA Knew Aging Soviet Engines Were a Danger Before Explosion
Government documents show NASA officials warned as early as 2008 about the substantial risk of using decades old Soviet era engines in a 2011 test fire. The October launch from Virginia destroyed tens of millions in cargo bound for the ISS and raised questions about oversight of the Orbital Sciences venture under a 1.9 billion contract.
