ST. LOUIS - Electronic systems that track sales of the cold medicine used to make methamphetamine have failed to curb the drug trade and instead created a vast, highly lucrative market for profiteers to buy over-the-counter pills and sell them to meth producers at a huge markup. An Associated Press review of federal data shows that the lure of such easy money has drawn thousands of new people into the methamphetamine underworld over the last few years. Its almost like a sub-criminal culture, said Gary Boggs, an agent at the Drug Enforcement Administration. Youll see them with a GPS unit set up in a van with a list of every single pharmacy or retail outlet. Theyll spend the entire week going store to store and buy to the limit. Inside...

The accuracy of gay and lesbian adoption statistics is difficult to gauge. Myriad social and legal controversy surrounds gay and lesbian families, prompting many to refrain from identifying their home as a same-sex household. After recent years of fervent publicity on gay marriage, the small victories won in states' courts briefly allowing for gay marriage have created backlash legislation by the conservative right in power, who is now pushing for a constitutional amendment to explicitly forbid same-sex marriages. The ripples of social outcry created by the legalization of gay marriage in several other states are even being felt in Idaho, as the state legislature put civil unions on the chopping block in its last session. With the passage of a state marriage amendment appearing to many ...

Tens of thousands of children in foster care nationwide grow older each year waiting to be adopted, yet a government agency has found that there are far more women seeking to adopt children than there are children awaiting adoption. So why aren't the laws of supply and demand working in U.S. adoptions?
Last month, the National Center for Health Statistics held a research conference on its National Survey of Family Growth. The survey, based on more than 12,000 interviews, is the most comprehensive measure available of the demand for adoption in the United States. The latest study, released in August, found that nearly 600,000 women are seeking to adopt children they do not know. Put another way, imagine that every woman in Chicago between the ages of 18 and 44 wanted to adopt. Are there ...
