2 Page Two December 5, 2007 INTERNATIONAL NEWS Brigade Commander’s Challenge Demands imposed by opposition leaders in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) – Pakistan’s major opposition parties joined forces Tuesday in drawing up a list of demands for President Pervez Mush- arraf to meet if he wants to avoid a threatened boycott of next month’s elec- tions. As conditions for their participation in parliamentary elections, the parties are preparing to demand the end of emergency rule and the release of former Supreme Court judges. The move raises the stakes for Musharraf’s government, as part of efforts that Nawaz Sharif, the former prime minister, likened to a war to “save Pakistan from further destruction.” Representatives of Sharif’s faction and former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s party set up a joint committee to draw up the list of demands and set a deadline for com- pliance. Sharif told supporters in Abbottabad their main demand will be that “all the actions in declaring emergency rule should be withdrawn.” He said the committee’s will be how much time to give Musharraf’s government to accept the demands. Since he declared emergency rule on Nov. 3, Musharraf has filled the Supreme Court with loyalists, which quickly approved his con- tinued rule, and jailed hundreds of civic activists and lawyers. NATIONAL NEWS Congress questions rising interest rates on credit cards

WASHINGTON (AP) – Credit-card executives on Tuesday deflected con- gressional criticism of their practice of using falling credit scores to charge customers higher interest rates. Industry critics say it’s another example of abusive, confusing credit-card practices that can push consumers deeper into debt. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee, said customers who consistently pay on time are getting whacked by credit-card issuers that raise such rates without an adequate warning or a clear notice. Levin is holding out the club of possible legislation to spur voluntary changes by the industry. But execu- tives from Bank of America Corp. and Discover Financial Services LLC. told the subcommittee that a credit score is one of several factors in determining whether to increase a customer’s interest rate. Bruce Hammonds, president of Bank of America Card Services, said his bank also considers customer behavior on an account and their debt to others, in addition to credit scores. But it’s the behavior of credit-card issuers that prompted several consumers to testify before Levin’s subcommittee about not being informed when their rates were hiked.

Humorscopes brought to you by humorscope.com Aries (March 21 - April 19) You will be in an extremely stuffy meeting today, which will seem to last forever. You will be able to liven things up a smidge by putting a few small feathers in your hand, and then “coughing” them out. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) You will rest peacefully, and sink into a strange dream. In the dream, you will be playing an odd version of soccer with huge SUDOKU clear balloons, and people will be cheering you on from the sidelines, who are dressed in white formal attire. Don’t go into the light. The extra point isn’t worth it. Gemini (May 21 - June 20) Excellent day to pretend to have various infirmities. Pretending to have a hunchback is my personal favorite, and is often favor ably combined with a drooling problem. Cancer (June 21 - July 22) Not a good time to go forth and conquer. Try going fifth, and hover in the background. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Ooh! Oh. I should have warned you. I’m sorry. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) People will tease you about wearing your golf shoes indoors. Don’t you mind them, though -- they’re undoubtedly just jealous. Libra (September 22 - October 22) Stinky feet day, today. Don’t go to a Japanese restaurant. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Unknown to you, people think you are a wimp - just because of your weak hand shake. You need to get one of those hand exercisers, and use it constantly for a few months. Then, crush their little hands into pulp! Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Good day to use nautical terms in ordinary situations, and to refer to the different sides of your building as “port” and “starboard.” Previous Puzzle Capricorn (December 22 - January 20) Someone will turn a cold shoulder to you, HOW TO PLAY: and your feelings will be hurt.
