Morning Roundup: The rep stays in the picture edition

Good morning, Houston. Yeah, it's been a while since we had a Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee media moment — but now, thanks to Isiah Carey, we have a classic: a series of photos showing Jackson Lee's skill in getting in front of TV cameras during Sen. Hillary Clinton's visit to Houston last week. The hardest-working woman in Congress? You betcha — don't you know it's tough do to your own blocking? [via HouStoned]

>> What kind of filing system is this?: A surprising stash of paperwork containing people's Social Security numbers, credit card information and other personal data was found in a dumpster behind a CVS in Liberty, KTRK reports — seems the store had closed and relocated elsewhere in town, and the paperwork was left behind as trash. It's not clear whether any of the information was taken from the dumpster, but it sure could have been: "Speaking as a former, convicted identity thief, this is the motherlode," an unidentified man told Channel 13. But the problem was resolved, more or less, when the store manager loaded up the paperwork in his car. "Anything that was in there was a mistake — I mean, it wasn't just something ... this is not a common practice," he said.

>> Court to Enron shareholders: No suit for you: A federal appeals court ruled Monday that Enron shareholders can't proceed with a class-action lawsuit against investment banks for their alleged role in the energy company's collapse, an opinion that overturned an earlier ruling by a district judge in Houston. "Class certification may be the backbreaking decision that places 'insurmountable pressure' on a defendant to settle, even when the defendant has a good chance of succeeding on the merits," the 5th Circuit Court's decision read. But that's a bad move, shareholders' attorney William Lerach said: "The basic holding of the court is that even if the banks participated knowingly in a scheme to defraud investors in Enron's collapse, you cannot have a class action against the banks."

>> The blame game: You may remember the story of Ramona Escamilla, the 88-year-old crossing guard who was run down by a garbage truck earlier this month. Now, the city's solid waste department is saying the accident was Escamilla's fault — but the police report from the incident cited driver inattention and backing without safety, and the solid waste department never interviewed Escamilla or any witnesses to the accident, KHOU reports. Meanwhile, Escamilla has been moved to a long-term care facility, where she's suffering from a major infection. "If the word 'hero' had not already been invented, somebody would have to invent it for her," Escamilla's attorney, John Webb, said.

>> Today's weather: Basically, today will be the blueprint for the rest of the week: warm and cloudy. Expect a mostly cloudy, sorta humid afternoon with a high around 76; tonight, the clouds will stick around and we should have a low of 64.
