A federal appeals court is permitting federal funding of stem cell research to proceed temporarily until the court rules on the merits of the Obama administration's position in the case. The government is asking the appeals court in Washington to strike down a preliminary order by U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth blocking federal funding for some stem cell research. The three-member appeals panel says it is suspending Lamberth's ruling for now. The appeals judges say they want more time to deal with issues in the government's appeal.

The last General Electric factory in the U.S. to manufacture incandescent light bulbs is set to close its doors next month, as a federal move toward green technology has made the product obsolete, The Washington Post reported Wednesday. The Winchester, Va., plant partly fell victim to energy conservation legislation passed by Congress that will require Americans to start using more efficient bulbs by 2014, the report said. The 200 workers at the plant will lose their jobs when the doors shut for the final time, as the replacement bulbs, known as compact fluorescents (CL), are manufactured mainly overseas. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, CL’s last up to 10 times longer ...

A Florida pastor at the center of a global storm over plans to burn hundreds of Korans said Thursday he would likely call off the event if asked to by the Obama administration. Terry Jones, head of the Dove World Outreach Center, told USA Today he had not been contacted by the White House, Pentagon or State Department about Saturday's planned ceremony on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. If he were "that would cause us definitely to think it over. That's what we're doing now. I don't think a call from them is something we would ignore," Jones told the daily. US President Barack Obama on Thursday warned the burning ceremony would be a "recruitment ...

The trade deficit in the U.S. narrowed more than forecast in July as imports fell and exports climbed to the highest level in almost two years. The gap shrank 14 percent, the most since February 2009, to $42.8 billion, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. Economists forecast a deficit of $47 billion, according to the median of 73 projections in a Bloomberg News survey. Imports fell 2.1 percent, while exports increased 1.8 percent to $153.3 billion, the highest since August 2008. Shipments abroad will probably remain a source of strength for U.S. manufacturers as the world’s largest economy tries to sustain a recovery from the worst recession since the 1930s. Demand ...

(09-08) 19:36 PDT New York (AP) -- The imam behind a proposed Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero says moving it could cause a violent backlash from Muslim extremists and endanger national security. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf (rah-OOF') says the discourse surrounding the planned facility has become so politicized that moving it could result in violence. He says the reaction in the Muslim world could be more furious than the eruption of violence following the 2005 publication of Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Rauf made the comments in an interview broadcast Wednesday night on CNN. Opponents say the mosque should be moved farther away from where Islamic ...

Ruling 6-5, a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said it was bound by a 1953 Supreme Court precedent requiring judges to dismiss cases if litigating them could expose government secrets and imperil national security. “This case requires us to address the difficult balance the state secrets doctrine strikes between fundamental principles of our liberty, including justice, transparency, ...

Officials said Wednesday that U.S. diplomatic posts have been instructed to convene "emergency action committees" to determine the potential for protests over the congregation's plans to burn the Quran to commemorate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The posts are to warn American citizens in countries where protests may occur. The move underscores the Obama administration's deep concern that Saturday's ...

Jacksonville, FL, United States (AHN) - The FBI has "high confidence" that a Florida church's plan to burn a Koran on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks would impel extremists to attempt to harm organizers and participants of the event as well as U.S. forces overseas . That assertion is made in an FBI memo dated Aug. 19 published Monday on the blog site www.infowars.com. By "high confidence" the memo said it meant a judgment that is based on "high quality information from multiple sources or from a single highly reliable source, and/or that the nature of the issue makes it possible to render a solid judgment."

Obama said the struggling U.S. economy can't afford to spend $700 billion to keep lower tax rates in place for the nation's highest earners despite a call by House Minority Leader John Boehner and other GOP leaders to do just that. Speaking in the same city where Boehner, an Ohio Republican, recently ridiculed Obama's economic stewardship, Obama said Boehner's ...

In 1991, Faustino Escamilla snuck across the border from his native Mexico into Brownsville, Texas, eventually making his way to Norristown, Pa. where he worked as a stable hand. Seven years later, he moved to New Jersey and went to work for a fencing company in Hillsborough. He met a Costa Rican woman with two children and, in 2003, they bought a $197,000 townhouse on which they pay about $5,000 a year in property taxes. In June 2009, Escamilla, who has no criminal record, was stopped driving with a suspended license. Now, the federal government wants him deported. "If the case is that I have to leave the country, I would go with my wife to her country," said Escamilla, 36. ...

The head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee flew to Alaska to aid Lisa Murkowski with the primary.

House Republican leaders won’t say whether they will scrap an ethics office if they regain the majority this fall. The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), established by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in 2008, has attracted criticism from Republicans and Democrats during the last couple of years. Most GOP lawmakers voted against the creation of the OCE, and many political observers believe the OCE will be disbanded should Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) become Speaker next year. Pressed for comment, GOP leadership aides declined to directly answer the OCE question, presumably seeking to avoid politically damaging headlines about how Republicans want to strip away a new ...

FAIRBANKS - Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski has received significant support since narrowly losing to Joe Miller in the August GOP primary, a spokesman said Sunday. Murkowski has yet to endorse her Republican rival, leading to widespread speculation that she is evaluating options for a possible re-entry into the race. She has two options if she wants to re-enter: to be invited to run under the banner of the Alaska Libertarian Party or to mount a write-in campaign. “She has received a huge outpouring of support from Alaskans, both individuals and groups,” Murkowski spokesman Steve Wackowski wrote Sunday in an e-mail to the Daily News-Miner. He cited support from Alaska Native ...

A federal appeals court said Tuesday the government may obtain cell-site information that mobile phone carriers retain on their customers without a probable-cause warrant under the Fourth Amendment.
The decision by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (.pdf) was not, however, an outright Obama administration victory. Lower courts, the three-judge panel wrote, could demand the government show probable cause — the warrant standard — before requiring carriers to release such data to the feds.
The opinion does leaves the privacy issue in a legal limbo of sorts. The standard by which the government can access such records — which can be used in criminal prosecutions — is left to the whims ...

Crowley was commenting on plans by the fifty-member Dove World Outreach Center in Gainseville, Florida, to mark the ninth anniversary of 9/11 on Saturday by burning around 200 Korans on the church's property. According to the State Department transcript of Tuesday's briefing, Crowley equated the protest burning of the ...
