GOP leaders seek to avert shutdown over Planned Parenthood Posted: 17 Sep 2015 04:45 PM PDT WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republican leaders scrambled Thursday to head off a politically damaging government shutdown in two weeks over rebellious conservatives' demand that any stopgap spending bill block federal funds for Planned Parenthood.

Federal Reserve holds interest rates at zero Posted: 17 Sep 2015 11:12 AM PDT Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen cited a weak global economy, low inflation, and instability in financial markets as reasons.

Contraception opt-out violates religious freedom: U.S. appeals court Posted: 17 Sep 2015 09:34 AM PDT A U.S. appeals court has ruled that President Barack Obama's healthcare law violates the rights of religiously affiliated employers by forcing them to help provide contraceptive coverage even though they do not have to pay for it. The split in the circuit courts created makes it more likely that the U.S. Supreme Court will take up the issue in its coming term, which begins in October and runs through June. The law allows religiously affiliated non-profit employers to opt out of paying for contraceptive coverage directly.

Designated zones proposed for New York Times Square street performers Posted: 17 Sep 2015 03:42 PM PDT New York City would require topless women in body paint, Elmo impersonators and other costumed characters who populate Times Square to work in designated zones under a new plan to manage a surge of street performers in the famed Manhattan crossroads. Mayor Bill de Blasio voiced qualified support for the proposal, which was released on Thursday by a business group and is a response to the increasing criticism of the performers from officials. De Blasio and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo have called the performers aggressive solicitors who threaten to drag Times Square back to the "bad old days" when the area was a tawdry magnet for prostitutes, drug dealers and panhandlers.

Senate report 'proves Lithuania hosted CIA jail': detainee's lawyers Posted: 17 Sep 2015 02:32 PM PDT A U.S. Senate report on CIA interrogations proves beyond doubt that Lithuania knowingly hosted one of the agency's secret detention facilities, lawyers for an ex-detainee told the European Court of Human Rights on Thursday. Saudi-born Abu Zubaydah is asking the Strasbourg-based court to rule that NATO member Lithuania was part of a network of U.S. allies which agreed to host CIA "black sites" around the world where al Qaeda suspects were held and tortured.
