Lost in the momentous news events of last week was a call by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) for the expeditious release of 86 prisoners languishing at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, also known as ‘Gitmo.’ The detainees, some of whom have been incarcerated for 11 years, were cleared for release three years ago, but the Obama Administration has refused to repatriate them to their home countries. In a June 25 letter addressed to US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, Bishop Richard Pates (Des Moines), chair of the USCCB’s Committee on International Justice and Peace, deplores the US Government’s treatment of the men. “The indefinite detention of detainees,” Bishop Pates writes, “is not only injurious to those individuals, it also wounds the moral reputation of our nation, compromises our commitment to the rule of law, and undermines our struggle against terrorism.”

Rising rates good for savers, but bad for business
All it took was speculation that the Federal Reserve could slow its bond buying months from now — and then a few words from Chairman Ben Bernanke to confirm it.
The result is that record-low interest rates that have fueled economic growth, cheered the stock market, shrunk mortgage rates but punished savers are headed up. And once the Fed starts scaling back its bond purchases, those trends could accelerate.

We're All Dick Cheney Now
It is transparent. That's why we set up the FISA court. .You want THE winterjackets that lives up to all you? . . The whole point of my concern, before I was president--because some people say, "Well,Fremont ralphlaurenhoody team sprint training. you know, Obama was this raving liberal before. Now he's, you know, Dick Cheney." Dick Cheney sometimes says, "Yeah, you know? He took it all lock, stock, and barrel." My concern has always been not that we shouldn't do intelligence gathering to prevent terrorism, but rather are we setting up a system of checks and balances? So, on this telephone program, you've got a federal court with independent federal judges overseeing the entire program. And you've got Congress overseeing the program, not just the intelligence committee and not just the judiciary committee--but all of Congress had available to it before the last reauthorization exactly how this program works.

Safety tips : Applying make up when driving is risky
A woman loves it when other people compliment her good looking face. It is a fact. These compliments may come up probably because one is wearing appealing gloss on her lips, has some sort of powder or foundation that blends well with the skin complexion or even nicely done hair. In order to keep up with such appearances, many women love keeping mirrors and makeup kits of different varieties in their handbags that they carry wherever they go. And whenever they get the slightest opportunity, they open their handbags, get whatever beauty enhancer is inside at the time and get busy with beautifying their faces.
