The nation's highest court is sounding with a Muslim woman who did not get hired after she showed up to a job interview with clothing retailer 6 Abercrombie & Fitch wearing a headscarf. The justices saying the employers are generally required to accommodate job applicants 7 and employees' religious needs. NPR's CJ has more on the eight-to-one decision. 
The ruling was written by justice Antonin Scalia with support from several others. The only nay 8 dissenting 9 justice was Clarence Thomas. The court majority held that to win a claim of disparate treatment, job seekers just need to show that their need for accommodation was motivating factor for an employer, not that the employer actually knew for certain that the employee, prospective 10 employee will need an accommodation.

A lawsuit 11 has been filed against the first of its abortion 12 ban in Kansas. NPR's CL reports the ban targets the most common procedure used in the second trimester. 
The Kansas law is due to take effect in a month, and bans what it calls dismemberment abortion. The medical term is D&E, dilation 13 and evacuation. Doctors use forceps, tongs 14 or scissors to remove a fetus 15 in parts. That's now banned, and doctors in violation 16 face criminal prosecution 17. Oklahoma has passed a similar law. Nationally, only a small share of abortions 18 take place in the second trimester, but almost all of them are done by a D&E. Two doctors filed suits contending the Kansas law is unconstitutional since the Supreme 19 Court has guaranteed the right to abortion until roughly the third trimester of pregnancy 20.

In this part of the world, people recycle a lot of computers. But you don't see too many Apple Is turn-up, as it's the first generation Apple produced. Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ron Wayne made about 200 of them in 1976. The folks in Clean Bay area realized what they had, only when they opened the box a few weeks after a recently widowed woman refused to get a receipt, or read her name.  
We want to just find the lady.

I helped her to take boxes from her SUV, and I've talked to her. I remember her very good.
