Hobby Lobby Inc. was given a temporary exemption Friday from a requirement 
in the new federal health care law to offer insurance coverage for 
the morning-after pill and similar emergency birth control methods or face 
steep fines.U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton issued the preliminary injunction 
for the Oklahoma City-based arts and crafts chain and stayed the case 
until Oct. 1 to give the federal government time to consider filing 
an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court.The ruling was welcomed by the 
Christian owners of Hobby Lobby and its sister company, the Mardel Christian 
bookstore chain. Attorneys for the Green family have argued that their religious 
beliefs are so deeply rooted that having to provide every form of 
birth control would violate their conscience."We're just very excited. This 
is a great step for us," Hobby Lobby president Steve Green said.Members 
of the Green family say they believe life begins at conception, and

Orr told Fox News Sunday. We were compelled to file for bankruptcy.Orr 
steadfastly stuck to what he said was his appointed mission of getting 
Detroit out from under $19 billion in debt, declining to speculate on 
whether or if the federal government should bail out the city, once 
the worldwide hub of auto manufacturing.He said his goal was to restructure 
the debt, including roughly $3.5 million in underfunded pension liabilities, 
and to get Detroit on its feet again by fall 2014.Orr, appointed 
in March by Republican Gov. Rick Synder, also said he has appealed 
a judges decision Friday that the bankruptcy violates Michigan's constitution, 
which protects government employees pensions.He also said that his plan 
would extend full payments only to pensioners for the next six months 
and acknowledge the hardship it will cause.My mother is a pensioner, Orr 
said.Still, he said Detroit dug this whole, in part by not addressing 
its problems earlier.With a population of 1.8 million in the 1950s, Detroits 
slow decline started with residents migrating to the suburbs in the 1960s 
and was accelerated by automakers leaving Detroit, which diminished the
