Today the Internet is changing the way people interact and it is having an impact on committed relationships. People are chatting, flirting, and even cheating online. The internet permits many to live out their fantasies. They can do and say what they cannot in real face-to-face encounters. This sort of behavior can destroy relationships.
Most women would agree. The consensus being that over the course of time a connection may develop between the online cheaters. Even if they never meet in person, they are sharing intimacies and sexual fantasies that should only be shared with their partner.
Besides, many feel that as their men become more entangled in the online affair, the possibilities for offline cheating increases.
When confronted about the possibilities of developing emotional attachments, many men indicated that more often than not, emotions are faked. Let’s face it, just because someone puts up a smiley face doesn’t mean they are really smiling.
It seems that when it comes to cyber cheating, it may come down to a person’s point of view. Partners will have to agree on what is appropriate and what is not appropriate Internet behavior. Where as one partner might consider online flirting as harmless fun. Others might consider this behavior just as harmful as a midnight romp in a hotel.
Interestingly, studies indicate that one might critic their partner’s online amorous advances more severely than their own. When I do, it is okay, but when you do, it is not. Anyway you chop it up, Internet flirting is a real issue. To address this, couples should discuss what they think is and isn’t online cheating. Although cyber cheating may seem more innocent to some, it can still ruin a relationship.
The bottom line, if you are flirting with someone online behind your partner’s back, you are being deceptive. If you are honest about your online hanky-panky, and your partner is uncomfortable, insecure or outright hurt by it, maybe you should stop. That is, if you cherish your relationship.

Pacific Rim Bureau (CNSNews.com) - In what analysts are calling a milestone in bilateral relations, Taiwan's defense minister held talks in the U.S. this week with Deputy Defense Secretary Michael Kors Hamilton Large Tote Paul Wolfowitz.It was the highest-level direct military contact between the two countries since Washington dropped its diplomatic recognition of the island democracy in favor of the communist mainland in 1979.The State Department confirmed that Beijing had protested on several occasions, both about the meeting and earlier about the decision to grant a visa to Defense Minister Tang Yao-ming.The Taiwanese minister visited the U.S. to participate in a conference with senior defense contractors in Florida.The meeting with Wolfowitz came on the sidelines of the three-day gathering that was organized Michael Kors Hamilton Large by a private group called the U.S.-Taiwan Business Council, chaired by Frank Carlucci, who was defense secretary in the Reagan administration.State Department spokesman Richard Michael Kors Cross Body Bag Boucher said Tang also had a brief courtesy meeting with James Kelly, the assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs.China has warned that the visit could damage Sino-U.S. relations.China sees Taiwan as a rebel province,Michael Kors Bags On Sale, and resents any move that could be seen as upholding its sovereignty. It has also threatened to take military action if Taiwan moves toward formal independence.The U.S. is committed by an Act of Congress to help Taiwan defend itself against aggression, a commitment President Bush emphasized during an official visit to China last month.China reacted furiously a year ago when Bush agreed to sell Taiwan diesel submarines, destroyers and a dozen P-3 Orion submarine-hunting planes.Taiwanese media quoted Tang as saying he had not discussed any new American arms sales with Wolfowitz, and that their discussions had centered on stability in the Taiwan Strait.Taiwanese political commentator Liu Kuan-teh wrote in the Taipei Times Thursday that the visit was "a milestone in U.S.-Taiwan relations," noting that the State Department decision to grant Tang a visa represented a change in U.S. policy.Liu said the Taiwanese government should seize the opportunity. "The U.S. Michael Kors Charlton Crossbody Bag has redirected its foreign policy by Michael Kors Tote strengthening its relations with its allies. This is a chance for Taiwan to become part of the U.S.-led, global anti-terrorist campaign."Despite Beijing's unhappiness over the Taiwanese minister's visit, China's Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan said earlier the episode would not affect a scheduled visit to the U.S. later this year by Vice President Hu Jintao, the man widely expected to become China's next leader.

(CNSNews.com) - A non-partisan senior citizens organization is strongly endorsing President George W. Bush's prescription plan for the elderly. "Based on today's news dispatches,Michael Kors Bags Uk, President Bush's plan builds upon the common sense approach of the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare. It strengthens Medicare, helps seniors pay for all or part of Medicare premiums and subsidizes prescription drug costs, with low-income seniors receiving special help," said Jim Martin, president of the 60 Plus Association. "No senior should have to make a choice between putting food on the table or being able to afford the prescription drugs they need," he added. "Seniors are pleased to learn of President Bush's plan to ensure that their golden years are spent doing all those things that bring joy to their lives and their families."But,Michael Kors Tote, critics of the plan say there's no way it will pass. President Bush's plan to help the nation's poorest elderly people Michael Kors Outlets pay for medication is "dead on arrival" in Congress, said Rep. Pete Stark of California,Michael Kors Charlton Crossbody, the ranking Democrat on the House Ways and Means health subcommittee.Bush's four-year "Immediate Helping Hand" program would provide $48 billion to the states Cheap Michael Kors to cover the full cost of prescription drugs Cheap Michael Kors for individual seniors earning under $11,300 and elderly couples earning $15,200 or less. The money would cover only part of the prescription drug bill for individual seniors earning up to $14,600 and couples earning up to $19,700."It should be buried, quickly and deeply, as a bad idea," Stark told reporters Monday. "It does little Michael Kors Usa to help the sickest seniors who have huge drug costs." Rather than settle for a short-term, limited solution, lawmakers in both parties want bigger, broader prescription drug relief to be part of a complete Michael Kors Tote Medicare overhaul. Bush said Cheap Michael Kors Bags that's fine, as long as Congress acts quickly to help the neediest seniors. Featured Video Horrors! It's Gov't 'Regulated Activity'Scary!

One of the oft-cited benefits of working in the acting business is the ability to dress up and assume the personality of any conceivable character.Scarlett Johansson recently had the chance to do that three separate times over the course of 14 hours, all for a creative photo shoot featured in the June issue of Michael Kors Tote W magazine.The 26-year-old actress posed for photographer Tim Walker dressed as film icons Buster Keaton, Marlene Dietrich, Sarah Bernhardt and Giulietta Masina in "La Strada."In most of the shots, Johansson is hardly recognizable, thanks to smartly chosen costumes and makeup.The June issue also pays tribute to one of the most noted directors Johansson has worked with, Woody Allen, and the women many consider to be his muses, such as "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" star Penelope Cruz."The women, especially, in my films have to be real," Allen told W. "And yet it's also very important to me to present the women with the enthusiasm and eroticism and awe that I feel about them." Johansson as Buster Keaton. (Tim Walker/W)Adding that he's "very concerned with how they look,Michael Kors Tote Bags, that they match my image of them,Michael Kors Tote," Allen went on to cite an example Michael Kors Hamilton Large with Johansson from the 2005 film "Match Point.""In 'Match Point,' I reshot the scene where the audience first sees Scarlett four different ways," he explained.

(Tim Michael Michael Kors Hamilton Large Tote Walker/W)Allen also compared the way he views his leading ladies to how he views his hometown of New York City."People say that my Manhattan is a fantasy Manhattan.

South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard waits for the start of the opening session of the National Governors Association winter meeting in Washington, Saturday,Michael Kors Store, Feb. Michael Michael Kors Hamilton Large Tote 25, 2012. (AP Photo/Cliff Owen)WASHINGTON (AP) ― Democratic governors are bullish on President Barack Obama's re-election prospects, citing the improving economy and a Republican nominating contest that has exposed deep divisions in the party's base.Republican governors insist Obama is vulnerable, but they say they are concerned the prolonged primary race has alienated independent voters and may have badly damaged the eventual nominee.Democratic enthusiasm and Republican apprehension were both on display at the winter meeting of the National Governor's Association, an annual four-day conference where states' top executives gather to discuss policy and trade ideas on best practices but where politics are always close to the surface.In interviews, many Democratic governors seemed almost giddy about Obama's chances of winning a second term.They pointed to the improving employment figures, which have helped raise state revenues after years of painful budget cuts. The national unemployment rate stood at 8.3 percent in January, down from a high of 10 percent in October 2009."These Republicans that are running for president, they're so depressing. Cheer up!" Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin said after Democratic governors left a White House meeting with Obama. "We've got some good news: a great president creating jobs, and governors who are seeing revenues rebound."Even Democratic governors of some typically toss-up ― or "purple" ― states, said they like Obama's chances."In a purple state people want to see results and they also want to see a level of collaboration and teamwork. I think he is going to win Colorado," the state's governor, John Hickenlooper, said.Meanwhile, virtually no Republican governors were willing to predict their party's nominee would prevail in November.Many lamented the drawn-out nature of the nominating process, in which the early front-runner, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, has been weakened Michael Kors Hamilton Large by the intense scrutiny of his wealth, business practices and shifts on issues as well as the unwillingness of conservative voters to rally behind his candidacy. Many conservatives have coalesced recently around former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, Romney's latest strongest rival as the contest moves to primaries in Arizona and Michigan on Tuesday and 10 contests on March 6."I don't know anybody who thinks if you started out to design a good process to pick a president you'd choose exactly what we have now," said Indiana Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels, a former White House budget director who explored a presidential candidacy but ultimately decided against a run.Daniels said he would not consider jumping into the race even if Romney were to lose Michigan. Some Republican leaders have said privately that if Romney does not prevail in Michigan ― a state where he was born and grew up and where his father served as governor ― the defeat could serve as an opening for a party heavyweight like Daniels to join the field.Daniels, who has not endorsed a candidate, said he didn't believe a potential Romney loss in Michigan indicated unremitting problems with his candidacy."The problem I would worry about, and have all along, is that our side might not offer a bold enough and specific enough and constructive enough and, I would say, inclusive enough alternative to America,Michael Kors Handbag," Daniels said.Maine Republican governor Paul LePage suggested the drawn-out negativity of the contest could mean Republicans should reach for a new candidate strong enough to defeat the president."If they continue to beat each other up, then maybe we should get somebody unknown to go against Obama. They're damaging themselves," Le Page said. "It's like a marital battle. Somebody's got to apologize."Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, who has endorsed Romney, refused to predict Romney would win Tennessee when voters go to the polls there on Super Tuesday. But he said he felt confident Romney was the strongest candidate to challenge Obama in the general election, in part because he could win unaffiliated voters."I think we'll be in for a long election night regardless. I think the race will be close," Haslam said. "That's why it's important for Republicans to do a great job expressing our case and reaching out to independents."Some Republican governors voiced concern that social issues like contraception and gay marriage had at times eclipsed discussion of the economy in the primary race."I do agree those social issues are not as significant as some of the economic and fiscal issues that really threaten our way of life," South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard said, saying he was worried the debate over such issues might alienate uncommitted Michael Kors Tote Bag voters.Contraception emerged as a hot button issue last month after the Obama administration announced it would require church-affiliated employers to include birth control as part of an employee's health insurance coverage. The decision Michael Kors Tote drew outrage from Catholic bishops and Michael Kors Uk other religious leaders, and Obama eventually retooled the requirement to say health insurers, not the religious groups themselves, must pay for the coverage.Many Republicans, including Site Michael Kors the leading presidential candidates, slammed Obama for what they called government infringement on religious liberty. But their hard line risked making the candidates look as though they were anti-birth control ― particularly Santorum, a devout Roman Catholic who has said he believes contraception is harmful to women.The problem was further compounded when Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, a rising Republican star widely considered a contender for the vice presidential nomination, backed a controversial bill that would have required women undergo a vaginal ultrasound before receiving an abortion.McDonnell backed down this week, asking the bill's sponsors to require a less invasive ultrasound procedure instead. But the controversy drew national attention and scorn from women's groups.Pennsylvania Republican Gov. Tom Corbett said he wasn't concerned that social issues had become part of the presidential campaign, saying such topics are top concerns for many Republican voters. But Corbett, who hasn't endorsed a primary candidate, said the discussion would shift once a nominee is chosen."It will be the economy, the economy, the economy and it will be jobs,Cheap Michael Kors, jobs, jobs. And I think that's exactly where it should be," Corbett said.___Follow Beth Fouhy on Twitter at /bfouhy (Copyright 2012 Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

YOKOSUKA, Japan -- To the world's military leaders, the debate over climate change is long over. They are preparing for a new kind of Cold War in the Arctic, anticipating that rising temperatures there will open up a treasure trove of resources, long-dreamed-of sea lanes and a slew of potential conflicts. By Arctic standards, the region is already buzzing with military activity, and experts believe that will increase michael kors outlet store significantly in the years ahead. Last month, Norway wrapped up one of the largest Arctic maneuvers ever - Exercise Cold Response - with 16,300 troops from 14 countries training on the ice for everything from high intensity warfare to terror threats. Attesting to the harsh conditions,Michael Kors Purses Outlet, five Norwegian troops were killed when their C-130 Hercules aircraft crashed near the summit of Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest mountain. The U.S., Canada and Denmark held major exercises two months ago, and in an unprecedented move, the military chiefs of the eight main Arctic powers - Canada, the U.S., Russia, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland - gathered at a Canadian military base last week to specifically discuss regional security issues. None of this means a shooting war is likely at the North Pole any time soon. But as the number of workers and ships increases in the High North to exploit oil and gas reserves, so will the need for policing, border patrols and - if push comes to shove - military muscle to enforce rival claims. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that 13 percent of the world's undiscovered oil and 30 percent Michael Kors Outlet Online Store of its untapped natural gas is in the Arctic. Shipping lanes could be regularly open across the Arctic by 2030 as rising temperatures continue to melt the sea ice, according to a National Research Council analysis commissioned by the U.S. Navy last year. What countries should do about climate change remains a heated political debate. But that has not stopped north-looking militaries from moving ahead with strategies that assume current trends will continue. Russia,Cheap Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online (30), Canada and the United States have the biggest stakes in the Arctic. With its military budget stretched thin by Iraq, Afghanistan and more pressing issues elsewhere, the United States has been something of a reluctant northern power, though its nuclear-powered submarine fleet, which can navigate for months underwater and below the ice cap, remains second to none. Russia - one-third of which lies within the Arctic Circle - has been the most aggressive in establishing itself as the emerging region's superpower. Rob Huebert, an associate political science professor at the University of Calgary in Canada, said Russia has recovered enough from its economic troubles of the 1990s to significantly rebuild its Arctic military capabilities, which were a key to the overall Cold War strategy of the Soviet Union, and has increased its bomber patrols and submarine activity. He said that has in turn led other Arctic countries - Norway, Denmark and Canada - to resume regional military exercises that they had abandoned Michael Kors Outlet Online Store or cut back on after the Soviet collapse. Even non-Arctic nations such as France have expressed interest in deploying their militaries to the Arctic. We have an entire ocean region that had previously been closed to the world now opening up, Huebert said. There are numerous factors now coming together that are mutually reinforcing themselves, causing a buildup of military capabilities in the region. This is only going to increase as time goes on. Noting that the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe, the U.S. Navy in 2009 announced a beefed-up Arctic Roadmap by its own task force on climate change that called for a three-stage strategy to increase readiness, build cooperative relations with Arctic nations and identify areas of potential conflict. We want to maintain our edge up there, said Cmdr. Ian Johnson, the captain of the USS Connecticut, which is one of the U.S. Navy's most Arctic-capable nuclear submarines and was deployed to the North Pole last year. Our interest in the Arctic has never really waned. It remains very important. But the michael kors factory outlet U.S. remains ill-equipped for large-scale Arctic missions, according to a simulation conducted by the U.S. Naval War College. A summary released last month found the Navy is inadequately prepared to conduct sustained maritime operations in the Arctic because it lacks ships able to operate in or near Arctic ice, support facilities and adequate communications. The findings indicate the Navy is entering a new realm in the Arctic, said Walter Berbrick, a War College professor who participated in the simulation. Instead of other nations relying on the U.S. Navy for capabilities and resources, sustained operations in the Arctic region will require the Navy to rely on other nations for capabilities and resources. He added that although the U.S. nuclear submarine fleet is a major asset, the Navy has severe gaps elsewhere - it doesn't have any icebreakers, for example. The only one in operation belongs to the Coast Guard. The U.S. is currently mulling whether to add more icebreakers. Acknowledging the need to keep apace in the Arctic, the United States is pouring funds into figuring out what climate change will bring, and has been working closely with the scientific community to calibrate its response. The Navy seems to be very on board regarding the reality of climate change and the especially large changes we are seeing in the Arctic, said Mark C. Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences University of Colorado. There is already considerable collaboration between the Navy and civilian scientists and I see this collaboration growing in the future. The most immediate challenge may not be war - both military and commercial assets are sparse enough to give all countries elbow room for a while - but whether militaries can respond to a disaster. Heather Conley, director of the Europe program at the London-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said militaries probably will have to rescue their own citizens in the Arctic before michael kors outlet store any confrontations arise there. Catastrophic events,Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online, like a cruise ship suddenly sinking or an environmental accident related Michael Kors Outlet Online to the region's oil and gas exploration, would have a profound impact in the Arctic, she said. The risk is not militarization; it is the lack of capabilities while economic development and human activity dramatically increases that is the real risk.

The Yankees got something right Sunday when Jorge Posada apologized to Joe Girardi and Brian Cashman and the club sought to move on Cheap Michael Kors from the tension that had enveloped their clubhouse like a heavy fog Saturday night. And when the Yanks built two early leads against the Red Sox, it seemed like the feel-good vibe might help end their losing streak.But everything else seemed to go wrong, just as it has throughout their recent malaise. Sloppy play and a fading lineup - the Yanks only had two hits after the second inning - doomed them again and they lost to Boston, 7-5, Sunday night in front of 46,945 at the Stadium. They were swept in a three-game series by the Red Sox and have lost a season-high five straight games and nine of 12,Michael Kors Outlet, dropping to just two games over .500 (20-18).BOX SCORE: RED SOX 7, YANKEES 5?David Ortiz snapped a 4-4 tie with a broken-bat, solo homer in the fifth inning and the Red Sox were helped by a passed ball on Russell Martin in the second that led to an unearned run and an error by Alex Rodriguez in the seventh on a ball that trickled through his legs and directly resulted in another unearned run. Kevin Youkilis hit a three-run homer to tie the game in the third and Jarrod Saltalamacchia, a catcher batting ninth, added his first homer since 2009 to give Boston a 7-5 edge in the eighth."We hurt ourselves over and over again with the glove," Rodriguez said. "(Sunday night) was an example of me not making a Cheap Michael Kors Handbags very routine play and just being a little over-ambitious and trying to get two when I should have just got one. I was trying to get two. In hindsight, the right play was just to get the one out.""It seems like when things go bad, they go bad," Girardi said. "It's going to turn around. Every team in our division has gone through it and now we are."It was the first time the Yankees have been swept in a series of at least three games at the new Stadium and the Red Sox's first three-game sweep in the Bronx since April 23-25, 2004, at the old Stadium.Curtis Granderson hit his 13th homer of the season in the second inning, a two-run shot that extended the Yankee lead to 4-1. Andruw Jones, who started at designated Michael Kors Totes hitter in place of Posada against lefty Jon Lester, led off that inning with a homer.Posada did play - he pinch-hit for Jones leading off the eighth inning and drew a walk. And he also got a warm ovation from the fans who stuck it out to the end, though the Yankees wasted his leadoff walk."Jorge is loved in our clubhouse, by our fans," Girardi said. "I'm not surprised (by the fans' Michael Kors Crossbody reaction). This has been a great player for a long time."Neither starter - Lester nor Freddy Garcia - was effective early on. Garcia allowed six hits and five runs (four earned) in 5-1/3 innings. Lester allowed four runs in the first two innings, but gave up just one hit after that and threw six Michael Kors Hamilton innings, giving up five hits and four runs.The Yankees led 1-0 after the first inning, scoring moments after the team announced that Posada had met with Cashman before the game and had apologized. They gave back the run in the second,Michael Kors Outlet Online, which started when Youkilis struck out but reached first when Martin couldn't handle Garcia's splitter."I tried to catch it and it bounced off my glove," Martin said. "The split is a tough pitch. Sometimes it goes straight down. Sometimes it kind of cuts late. It was one that kind of cut late, and it cut off the end of my glove. I ran out of glove."Jones and Granderson homered in the second to build that three-run lead, but Garcia gave that back, too, on Youkilis' three-run shot. Garcia thought he had struck out Youkilis on a 2-2 pitch, but it was called a ball and his next delivery was a cream puff."I don't think a lot about it, but you get that call, maybe the inning changes," Garcia said.

In this series, their 3-4-5 hitters - Mark Teixeira, Rodriguez Buy Michael Kors and Robinson Cano - were a combined 6-for-34 (.177) with one RBI and one extra-base hit."Not good, not good," Rodriguez said and his comment could have been about the team's play in every facet."We can talk about it over and over again, bottom line is we gotta play better, we gotta play winning baseball."

As the city?prepares to lay off 4,100 teachers, the Department of Education is planning to spend nearly $1 billion on consultants next school year, a new analysis shows.Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer blasted the agency's budget as a "black hole" and took issue with the 6% increase on consultants,Buy Michael Kors, after his office pored over the latest budget documents."There are a whole lot of troubling increases that have nothing to do with spending money in the classrooms," said Stringer, noting the city's Michael Kors Totes plans to lay off teachers Michael Kors Wallets was "political gamesmanship" and the "solution" may lie in the $20 billion Education Department budget."This is a black hole that gets darker and deeper as time goes on," he added."It's time to shine some light on what these services really are."Stringer's analysis, which agency officials dismissed, found the agency is increasing its spending on consultants under the central administration budget by $25 million - with $23 million of the increase spent on computer services.The analysis also found increased spending on consultants to recruit teachers by nearly $1 million - while the city is cutting teachers.Education Department officials have said that it's necessary to continue recruiting teachers to shortage areas like special education even during cuts.City Education Department officials rejected the analysis, saying that most of the consulting budget is for required services and directly goes to Michael Kors Crossbody serving students with disabilities."The Borough President either fails to recognize an important fact about these consultant costs or he is intentionally misleading people," Chancellor Dennis Walcott said.

Afghans wait to get free food donated by a private charity during the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan at a mosque in Kabul, Afghanistan on Thursday, Aug. 16, 2012. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim year that lasts around 30 days, which strict fasting is observed from sunrise to sunset. (AP Photo/Musadeq Sadeq)KABUL,Michael Kors Outlet, Afghanistan (AP) ― The Taliban's reclusive leader Michael Kors Online Store said Thursday that his fighters have infiltrated the Afghan police and army and were successfully killing a rising number of U.S.-led coalition forces.Mullah Mohammad Omar, the one-eyed chief of the Afghan insurgency,Michael Kors Outlet Online, emailed his eight-page message to news organizations ahead of the Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.Omar said Afghan security forces were assisting Taliban fighters who infiltrate their ranks, kill foreign troops and then carry their government-issued weapons back to insurgent camps."They are able to (safely) enter bases, offices and intelligence centers of the enemy," he said. "Then, they easily carry out decisive and coordinated attacks, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy."Attacks where Afghan soldiers or policemen, or militants wearing Afghan uniforms kill their foreign partners is on the rise, but the coalition claims only 10 percent of the attacks can be linked to infiltrators.So far this year, Michael Kors Handbags Outlet 34 foreign troops have been killed in 27 attacks, according to The Associated Press. Last year, 20 international soldiers were killed in 11 such attacks.White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Thursday that such Michael Kors Canada Outlet attacks were deeply concerning. He said the U.S.-led coalition was continually assessing and refining procedures to ensure the safety of NATO troops."It is important to remember first of all that our relationship with our Afghan partners is strong and that every day our forces fight alongside Afghan forces," Carney said, adding that international forces partner with about 350,000 Afghan forces on 90 percent of operations.The Taliban leader urged Afghan government workers to also switch sides and join the Taliban.The Taliban have set up a new department named "Call and Guidance, Luring and Integration," to help those who leave the government and join the insurgency, he said. It's a response to the Afghan government's reintegration program to lure Taliban foot soldiers off the battlefield,Michael Kors Purses Outlet, help them set up a new life back in their communities and provide development assistance to their villages.The Taliban leader also called on his fighters to protect the life and property of the Afghan Michael Kors Handbags Outlet people.The U.N. says more than three-fourths of the 1,145 civilian deaths in the first six months Michael Kors Factory Outlet of this year were blamed on insurgents."I urge you emphatically to be careful about the civilian Michael Kors Online Outlet losses and take this on yourselves as an explicit responsibility," Omar told his followers.On other topics, he said the gradual plan under way to transfer security responsibility to Afghan forces by the end of 2014 is a "deceiving drama" that the international community has orchestrated to hide its defeat.That is in contrast to coalition claims that Afghan security forces are increasingly able to lead operations and already have started to assume responsibility for security in areas of the country that are home to 75 percent of the Afghan population.The Taliban leader's message came on the same day that a U.S. military helicopter crashed during a firefight with insurgents in a remote area of southern Afghanistan, killing seven Americans and four Afghans in one of the deadliest air disasters of a war now into its second decade.The Taliban claimed they gunned down the Black Hawk. Omar did not refer to Thursday's crash in his message. (Copyright 2012 Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

DALLAS ― The Marlins’ pursuit of Albert Pujols intensified Tuesday evening as the team pushed for a resolution. One person with knowledge of the situation said on Tuesday night to be “on red alert” for a Pujols deal within 24 hours. Major league sources told the Daily News that Miami was pushing hard for a resolution on its 10-year offer, believed to be around $220 million. According to those sources, the Cardinals met with Pujols’ representatives early Tuesday and were said to have improved their long-standing proposal of nine Michael Kors Wallets years, $198 million. The Marlins had three separate meetings with Pujols’ representatives Tuesday, emerging from the last one around 8:30 p.m., telling reporters they were still “working, working, working.” At the same time, Pujols’ camp was said to have met at least twice Michael Kors Totes with the Cardinals, and there were also reports of last-minute interest from the Angels. Top Miami officials, including owner Jeffrey Loria and team president Larry Beinfest, also met behind closed doors with with league official Dan Halem. A senior vice president at MLB, Halem is in charge of approving contracts, and reports to executive vice president Rob Manfred. The Marlins have dominated this year’s winter meetings,Cheap Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online (14), signing former Mets shortstop Jose Reyes on Sunday night and now pushing hard for Pujols. Reyes took his physical Tuesday, and is expected in Dallas Wednesday to announce his six year, $106 million contract. In a related development, the Marlins’ incumbent shortstop, Hanley Ramirez, reportedly told the team he does not want to move to third base, which prompted new manager Ozzie Guillen to say, “He must understand what is best for the club,Cheap Michael Kors, and he will be a better player with those two guys (Reyes and table setter Emilio Bonifacio) batting in front of him.” Miami introduced closer Heath Bell Michael Kors Shoulder Bags on Monday, and is pursuing top-shelf starting pitching. The influx of cash comes because of a new downtown stadium set to open this spring, an event that has created controversy in South Florida. The Securities and Michael Kors Hamilton Exchange Commission is investigating the financing of the new stadium. According to the Miami Herald, the SEC is probing “whether the city and county did proper due diligence into the Marlins’ finances, and whether there was any influence peddling to local politicians” who approved public funding for the team’s new home.

Pujols, fresh off his second World Series victory with the Cardinals, is a three-time National League Most Valuable Player. In 11 Cheap Michael Kors seasons in St. Louis,michael kors outlet store, he has 445 home runs and a 1.037 OPS, the best in baseball during that span.

Pronouncements of who won Wednesday night’s debate ,Cheap Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online (16)Michael Kors Outlet Bags in Denver dominated the analysis.
Did Mitt Romney effectively land his promised zingers and seem likable enough? Did President Obama defend his record Michael Kors Outlet and convey Michael Kors Outlet Handbags a sense of what a second term would look like?
RELATED: ROMNEY GOES ON OFFENSIVE WHILE OBAMA MISSES OPPORTUNITY On those big issues, it’s pretty clear: Romney was more on his game ― more incisive, more fluid and good-natured through it all. He was tough in his attacks without being vicious or disrespectful. He didn’t over-rely on prepackaged attack lines. With statements like “regulation is essential,” he came across as the moderate former governor of Massachusetts, not the man who won the Republican nomination.
He even made the best joke of the night: “I like Big Bird,” he said, describing his planned cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; then, looking at moderator Jim Lehrer of PBS,Michael Kors Bags, he added: “I like you,Michael Kors Stores, too.”
Obama was halting by contrast, on his heels most of the evening.
A liberal friend sent me a text message about 40 minutes in. It was two words long: “Romney winning.”
But for me, success or failure for both candidates hinged on the answer to a question that might at first glance seem narrower than those macro questions: Could Romney effectively explain his tax plan to make it sound not like a windfall to the wealthy, but like a credible Michael Kors Outlet Store program to spark the economy without increasing the burden on the middle class?
And on the flip side, could Obama eviscerate that plan with anything close to the precision and intelligence former President Bill Clinton deployed at the Democratic convention?
New York Daily News
Why this matters so much: Taxes are at the heart of many Michael Kors Outlet middle-class voters’ apprehension toward Romney. Even as they worry about the yawning debt, a limping economy and the growing size of government, even as they think Romney’s a decent man and a competent business executive, they question his priorities. They worry that he’s in thrall to corporate interests and out of touch with struggling families, many of whom fall in that 47% of Americans he infamously derided.
Obama tried to make the case that Romney’s numbers didn’t add up, but he just didn’t have enough numbers to counter Romney’s claims. He thrust; Romney parried.
First, Obama laid out the case that the Romney-Ryan tax plan is another reckless, Bushian gimmick that’ll help the top and gut-punch the middle. He said that by slashing tax rates 20% across the board (and dramatically increasing Michael Kors Outlet Online military spending) and pledging to pay for that by closing unspecified tax deductions, it would necessarily dump a bigger burden in the laps of regular American families and slash the safety net ― all while making things still easier on millionaires and billionaires.
Romney’s reply: “I’m not looking for a $5 trillion tax cut. What I’ve said is I won’t put in place a tax cut that adds to the deficit.” Then: “Number two, I will not reduce the share paid by high-income individuals. I know that you and your running mate keep saying that and I know it’s a popular thing to say with a lot of people, but it’s just not the case. Look, I’ve got five boys. I’m used to people saying something that’s not always true, but just keep on repeating it and ultimately hoping I'll believe it.
“But that ― that is not the case. All right? I will not reduce the taxes paid by high-income Americans."
Finally: “And number three, I will not under any circumstances raise taxes on middle-income families. I will lower taxes on middle-income families. Now, you cite a study. There are six other studies that looked at the study you describe and say it's completely wrong. I saw a study that came out today that said you're going to raise taxes by $3,000 to $4,000 on middle-income families.”
This was the strongest part of Romney’s case: “I want to bring the rates down, at the same time lower deductions and exemptions and credits and so forth, so we keep getting the revenue we need. And you'd think, well, then why lower the rates?
“And the reason is because small business pays that individual rate; 54% of America’s workers work in businesses that are taxed not at the corporate tax rate, but at the individual tax rate. And if we lower that rate, they will be able to hire more people.”
Clear enough, and it’s an argument that will resonate with many.
Obama still has a very strong case that you can’t finance a huge, across-the-board tax-rate cut and the defense spending just by taking away deductions from the wealthy. But most voters aren't sitting at home with a calculator; they're deciding who they trust.
An important reminder: After the first debate between Sen. John Kerry and President George W. Bush, 61% of voters said the challenger won.
Look for similar results here.
And despite that, the election outcome could just as easily benefit the incumbent.

Out of?a dark period of segregation, race riots and assassinated civil rights leaders,Cheap Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online (32), a southeastern Queens theater company composed of black playwrights and performers was born.The Black Spectrum Theatre began in response to the turbulent 1960s - exploring the challenges facing urban African-Americans through dramatic productions."We wanted to express a lot of things that were being thought about and flashed on the TV," said Black Spectrum founder and executive producer Michael Kors Backpacks Carl Clay. "There was a great need for black folks to develop an identity for themselves."The borough's only professional African-American theater celebrated its 40th anniversary yesterday with a gala awards ceremony at its home in Roy Wilkins Park.Luminaries like actor/director Melvin Van Peebles, better Michael Kors Hamilton known as the "Godfather of Black Cinema" presented Michael Kors Clutches awards at the event that also featured performances by Grammy-nominated pianist Onaje Allan Gumbs and the company's Youth Theatre Institute."The theater is a great addition to our community,Michael Kors Bags Outlet," said City Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans), who has helped provided the troupe with nearly $3 million in city funds over the last few years.Black Spectrum grew out of a theater workshop Clay created in a St. Albans church in 1969. A year later, he founded the company and began holding rehearsals in a former gas station turned storefront museum."The first couple years were very exciting times," Clay said. "We rehearsed day in and day out."Black Spectrum has now performed more than 6,000 shows in the city and along the East Coast, produced more than 25 short films on issues affecting teens and trained between 3,000 and 4,Michael Kors Outlet Store,000 young people in its youth theater programs, Clay said.But ensuring that the show goes on with a shoestring budget hasn't always been easy.In January, Clay's first book "Poor-ducing Theatre and Film at Michael Kors Hobo Black Spectrum" was published. It details his struggle to keep his company alive despite a persistent lack of funding.Clay also expected to move Black Spectrum out of Roy Wilkins Park and into the new Jamaica Performing Arts Center with two fellow local arts groups.But instead, Clay said the city turned the center over to the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning and pushed Black Michael Kors Belts Spectrum and Cultural Collaborative Jamaica out. Clay said he still hopes to move into the new facility, but he is looking at upgrading and expanding his existing theater in the meantime.Regardless of its location, Broadway dancer Iris Wilson credited Black Spectrum with giving her a start - and keeping her off of the streets of St. Albans. She's now a principal dancer in the Broadway production of Fela!"It saved my life," said Wilson, who joined the theater's children's group as a child. "I could have gone another way. Growing up in an urban city there are lot of negative influences around."African-American theater companies aren't unusual, said Luther Wells, acting president of the national Black Theatre Network, who explained they date back to the 1800s. But only a few hundred remain from the theaters' heyday in the 1960s, he said.And they are important tools for preserving African-American history, he said."Black playwrights and black theater companies will give a voice to people of color - which traditional theater companies don't Michael Kors Crossbody often give," Wells said. "This gives us a voice, it gives us a way to value ourselves and not necessarily look for others to place a value on our lives."

NEW YORK ― How does a tabby cat earn its stripes? With the right DNA. Scientists say they've found Michael Kors Shoulder Bags the gene that sets the common tabby pattern ― stripes or blotches. It's one of several genes that collaborate to create the distinctive design of a cat's coat, and it's the first of the pattern genes to be identified. Cats with narrow stripes, the so-called mackerel pattern, have a working copy of the gene. But if a mutation turns the gene off, the cat ends up with the blotchy classic pattern, researchers reported online Thursday in the journal Science. It's called classic because cat lovers really like the blotched pattern, said one of the authors, Greg Barsh. He works at both Stanford University and the HudsonAlpha Institute of Biotechnology in Huntsville, Ala. The research team,Cheap Michael Kors Handbags, which included scientists from the National Cancer Institute, Michael Kors Wallets examined DNA from wild cats in California to Michael Kors Outlet Online identify the gene. They also found that a mutation in the same gene produces the blotches and stripes Michael Kors Satchels Bags of the rare king cheetah,Michael Kors Handbag Outlet, rather than the spots most cheetahs have. Leslie Lyons, a cat geneticist who studies coat color traits at the University of California, Davis, but didn't participate in the new work, agreed that the research has identified Michael Kors Outlet Online Store the Michael Kors Bags Outlet tabby's stripes-versus-blotches gene. She noted that mysteries remain,Michael Kors Cross Body Bag, like just what genetic machinery gives a tabby spots. The cat has not revealed all its mysteries yet, she said.

It’s the Christmas card that kept bringing holiday cheer. For michael kors wallets on sale six decades, the same well-worn greeting card traveled back and forth between two friends. In 1950,Michael Kors Usa, Acker Hanks,Michael Kors Tote Bag, now 89, mailed the card for the first michael kors tote bags time to his then-neighbor Lee Kelley,Michael Kors Bags Outlet, who returned it to him the following year as a joke. “We were constantly pulling jokes on one another,” Hanks, who lives in Texas, told the Tyler Morning Telegraph.

The reports were flying around Saturday about terms of the Wilpons' deal with David Einhorn, and a couple of them made it look as if the Met owners had gone to Joe the loan shark on Tenth Ave. and signed off on a mortgage with 33% annual interest.There were leaks that had them handing back Einhorn's $200 million investment in three years, while allowing him to keep one-third ownership in the club if the Wilpons wished to maintain control. Nobody is that desperate, not even the Wilpons, who are pretty frenzied at the moment. The Mets called the reports "uninformed speculation," without commenting further on terms.Still, the deal is complicated and not particularly sweet for the Wilpons, who could end up giving Einhorn 16%-17% ownership along with a Michael Kors Outlet Bags refund close to $200 million in about five years if they want to hold on to the club. Because of this and because of the Irving Picard legal proceedings, these negotiations with Einhorn may mark the start of the end game, Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online finally,Michael Kors Handbag Outlet, for the Wilpon ownership.Assuming the Picard suits aren't settled favorably and the Wilpons don't productively reconfigure their finances, Einhorn will be granted his option to purchase a majority share of the Mets, effectively becoming the principal owner.This leaves Met fans in an awkward position,michael kors outlet store, and let's face it: Many of them will be rooting now for Picard to ruin the Wilpons, fairly or not, if only to force the sale quickly. Otherwise this could become a long,Michael Kors Outlet Handbags, dreary tale of disappearing assets in the form of escaping baseball stars and mediocre won-loss records.Sources tell the Daily News that the Wilpons currently own about $400 million in equity in the Mets, a franchise valued at about $1 billion. The rest, $600 million, is debt, including the unsightly $25 million loan from Major League Baseball. Half of Einhorn's projected $200 million investment will go to pay off that debt.Einhorn, the hedge-fund manager, has the dollars to rescue the Mets on the Michael Kors Outlet field with a quicker infusion of cash. But it wouldn't make sense for him to do so as a minority owner. If he turns the Mets into a more successful franchise for the Wilpons, it could cost him controlling interest a few years down the road. Einhorn is in this thing to win more than a few games. He sees a path to majority ownership.The Wilpons have every right to keep the Mets, of course, if they can afford it. They may never have had pre-existing knowledge about Bernie Madoff's dirty dealings. But their reckless investments created this mess, and have placed the Mets in dire peril of becoming the Kansas City Royals.In the end, that is what this is all about. It's not about silly, sniping comments by Fred Wilpon on David Wright. Wilpon can do that all he wants, if he comes up with the dough the way that George Steinbrenner once did. The real issue is whether the Mets, under the Wilpons, can compete in the New York market. If players like Jose Reyes start heading for the hills, and if the payroll sinks below $100 million, the situation will grow more hopeless.The Mets on the field have been playing their hearts out this season, staying afloat despite a rash Michael Kors Outlet Online of injuries and all the nonsense above. They deserve support and sympathy. Unfortunately, a mass migration looms. Reyes, the most exciting player in the league right now, is going to be expensive, probably too expensive. Sources already have told The News that K-Rod would consider Michael Kors Purses Outlet waiving his no-trade clauses in order to leave.Unless the Picard suits disappear in a hurry, which isn't going to happen, there will be upcoming seasons when Sandy Alderson and Terry Collins must weave gold from straw.There is good news out of all this. After a few more years, one way or another, this may all be done. Either the Wilpons can really afford the Mets, or more likely Einhorn is in charge and throwing money at stars while competing with the Michael Kors Bags Outlet Yanks.At the moment, an Einhorn ownership seems a lot more appealing. He was already at the game Saturday night, monitoring his investment. He may be just another rich Wall Street guy, but at least he's rich.fjbondy@netscape.net

Madoff will plead guilty on Friday, June 29, 2012, to conspiracy and falsifying records, admitting his role in the multibillion-dollar fraud that destroyed the savings of thousands of investors, prosecutors told a judge on Wednesday, June 27, 2012. (AP Photo/Louis Lanzano, Pool, File)NEW YORK (AP) ― The brother of Ponzi scheme king Bernard Madoff will plead guilty on Friday to conspiracy and falsifying records, admitting his Michael Kors Cross Body Bag role in the multibillion-dollar fraud that destroyed the savings of thousands of investors, prosecutors told a judge on Wednesday.Peter Madoff, the former chief compliance officer at the private investment arm of Bernard Madoff's business, has agreed to serve a decade in prison, they said.Peter Madoff also agreed to the criminal forfeiture of $143 billion,Michael Kors Satchels Bags, including all of his real estate and personal property. The $143 billion, representing the amount of money believed to have flowed through the business accounts when he was part of the multi-decade Ponzi scheme, is included in a criminal forfeiture agreement, though authorities know that his assets would never approach that figure.Court papers signed by a federal judge in Manhattan on Wednesday show Peter Madoff, who had worked with his brother since 1965, will plead guilty to two criminal counts, admitting his role in a conspiracy to commit securities fraud, falsify records of an investment adviser, falsify records of a broker dealer, make false filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, commit mail fraud and obstruct the Internal Revenue service.Assistant U.S. Attorney Lisa A. Baroni wrote in a letter to U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain that, pursuant to a plea agreement with the government, Madoff, 66, had agreed "not to seek a sentence other than Michael Kors Stores 10 years' imprisonment."A lawyer for Madoff, Charles Spada, declined to comment on Wednesday.Bernard Madoff, 74, is serving a 150-year prison sentence in Butner, N.C., after revealing in December 2008 that he cheated thousands of investors of roughly $20 billion for years, using money from new investors to pay returns to existing clients. A $171 billion forfeiture order entered against Madoff forced him to relinquish tens of millions of dollars in personal property, including real estate, investments and Michael Kors Fashion $80 million in assets his wife had claimed were hers. The $171 billion represented the total amount of money that went through the company during the fraud.Lawyers for a court-appointed trustee recovering money for Bernard Madoff's investors had said Peter Madoff also was the company's senior managing director.The trustee, Irving Picard, said in court papers that Peter Madoff "failed miserably" to meet his responsibilities to monitor the company's operations and ensure its compliance with federal securities laws.The court papers said Peter Madoff had received at least $60 million during the fraud and used fake stock trades to make large withdrawals seem justified.Picard sought nearly $200 million from Madoff family members,Michael Kors Bags Outlet, claiming they used Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC as "the family piggy bank" to pay for vacation homes, cars, boats and even a stake in a beauty parlor.Picard's pending lawsuit alleges that over the years Peter Madoff, his daughter and his nephews "withdrew millions more than they invested" in private investment accounts they had with the firm.Peter Madoff "ignored obvious red flags that the profits reflected in account statements could not have been earned legitimately, to the detriment of BLMIS and its other customers," the lawsuit says.Bernard Madoff's relatives have said they did not know about his Ponzi scheme. The new plea raises new questions about the status of the prosecution and whether other family members are being targeted by the government.Lawyers for Andrew Madoff, a son of Bernard Madoff; Ruth Madoff, Bernard Madoff's wife; and Shana Madoff, Peter Madoff's daughter, did not immediately return messages seeking comment on Wednesday. Mark Madoff, Bernard Madoff's other son, committed suicide in December 2010 on the second anniversary of his father's arrest.Six former employees and associates have pleaded guilty and are cooperating with Michael Kors Crossbody Bag authorities. Five others, including Madoff's Bags Michael Kors former operating chief, have pleaded not guilty and appear headed to trial.Picard has accused Andrew Madoff of living a high-end lifestyle after receiving more than $60 million, including $31 million in salary and bonus, from 2001 to 2008.Shana Madoff, a lawyer, had worked at Madoff's investment business since 1995 as compliance counsel and in-house counsel. Picard's civil lawsuit said that "she ignored every red flag of the massive fraud taking place right in front of her."The massive scheme, run since at least the early 1990s, demolished the life savings of thousands of people, wrecked charities and shook confidence in the U.S. financial system. When Bernard Madoff pleaded guilty, he insisted that he acted michael kors signature tote alone, describing a separate wholesale stock-trading firm run by his sons and brother as honest and legitimate.Picard's office has reached agreements to recover approximately $9.1 billion and has distributed more than $1.1 billion to Madoff's victims.In a statement Wednesday,Michael Kors Stores, Picard's spokeswoman, Amanda Remus, said the trustee and his lawyers are aware of the letter to the court about the anticipated guilty plea proceeding involving Peter Madoff but had no comment.

The Yankee-Red Sox rivalry never dies, but it has cooled to a hypothermic state best described as dormant.That's what we get Friday, when Boston arrives in the Bronx with a sub-.500 record, a pitching staff ranked 12th in the American League and a very Michael Kors Canada Outlet recent history of non-contention. Here, the Red Sox will face a Yankee team that dropped from the division lead?Thursday night for the first time in a month, that after an ultra-sloppy, 11-5 pounding from the bargain-basement Royals."Just not good baseball," said Joe Girardi, usually Mr. Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Positive. "When you have three, four or five games like this in two weeks, it bothers me. Maybe (Boston) is what we need. Everything seems to be turned up. Maybe it's the right time."Perhaps this series will be a wake-up call for these slumbering teams, each having dropped two Michael Kors Handbags Outlet straight to lesser opponents. More likely, one side will win two of three meandering games and then the Yanks will head to Tampa, where the real threat appears to reside.Much as we love to hype these things, the Yanks haven't met Boston in the postseason now for nearly seven years, and the league has become far more balanced than payrolls would suggest. The Rays have a total payroll of just around $41 million and are faring just fine. Cleveland's salaries total $49 million. The Royals took two of three this week in New York, despite a last-place payroll of $36 million.Now the Red Sox come in at around $162 million, playing the home team at $202 million. Neither side is getting its money's worth. The Yanks produced one of their most embarrassing innings ever Thursday night - a two-error, one-passed-ball, multibobble,Michael Kors Totes, stupid-throw, six-run mess in the second.About the best thing you could say about the Yanks and Red Sox is that they are No. 1 and 2 in the AL when it comes to working walks.Before Thursday night, the Yanks were ninth in the Michael Kors Outlet Online AL in batting with runners in scoring position, at .236. They were seventh overall in batting at .253. They were 11th in fielding, even before butchering that second inning. The big bucks were buying only home runs, yet another two Thursday night from Robinson Cano and Alex Rodriguez.As for the Red Sox, they haven't reached .500 this season, and their high-priced staff has an ERA of 4.40."They're just another team on the schedule," Jorge Posada said. "Don't Michael Kors Online Store get me wrong. They're a helluva team and at the end of the year, they're going to be contending. But you guys are the ones who make a big deal about it."Can we talk about the Yankees?"The Yanks have been the fortunate recipients of a generous, home-peppered schedule and some unexpected (temporary?) rotation aid from Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia. The Red Sox haven't uncovered such nuggets, while John Lackey has been just terrible. When Boston required middle-inning relief from Dan Wheeler and Bobby Jenks, they didn't help, and now both are on the disabled list.Still, the matchups this weekend - Colon vs. Clay Buchholz, CC Sabathia vs. Josh Beckett and Garcia vs. Jon Lester - offer the Yanks no advantage.The real heat between the Michael Kors Factory Outlet Yanks and Red Sox burns off the field, in television commercials. Some of the spots are funny and nuanced, like the Avis ad about the Yankee fans snubbing a Red Sox fan in the office. Unfortunately,Michael Kors Outlet, the New Era commercials featuring Alec Baldwin and John Krasinski are way over the top.Baldwin plays a Yankee fan. In one spot, he vaguely threatens to kill Krasinski,Cheap Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online (30), a Red Sox rooter. In another, Baldwin travels to Boston to punch Krasinski unapologetically in the face. Given the recent fan violence in Los Angeles, this stuff is far too provocative.Hopefully, the fans strolling along River Ave. and then entering the stadium starting Friday will demonstrate greater restraint."I won't say it means more," Mariano Rivera said of the series. "But there's more adrenaline and the games are just more intense. It's always been that way and always will be."Sometimes more than others.

Los Angeles cops are on the hunt for a youth wrestling coach suspected of molesting a 14-year-old boy after another alleged victim outed him on YouTube. Herbert Daniel Ortiz, 29, is wanted for abusing the boy during his time as an assistant wrestling coach in Rosemead High School from 2007 to 2009, L.A. Michael Kors Purses Outlet sheriffs said. The teen victim's mother recognized Ortiz,Michael Kors Outlet, who also goes by Herbert Monroy, from a video she discovered warning parents to "protect" their kids from the coach. The mother asked her son if Ortiz had abused him, and the boy said yes, the sheriffs said. The accuser's video has since been pulled down. Ortiz, last thought to be living in Baldwin Park, was never accused of abuse during his time at the school, according to local reports. Since 2010,Michael Kors Bags Outlet, he's worked as a wrestling coach for the Bad News Panthers Children Wrestling Club in Rosemead. That club's website listed Ortiz as a Michael Kors Bags founder and also said he coached in Virginia, NBC News reported. Investigators feared there could be more victims. "Based on the Michael Kors Online Shop fact Michael Kors Outlet Canada Michael Kors Outlet Handbags that he had access to children and he was involved in coaching Michael Kors Outlet Handbags young children,Michael Kors Belts, especially boys, it's always a potential, based on our experience, that there will be more victims," Rosemean police spokesman Carlos Marquez told KTLA. Ortiz told Rosemead officials about the YouTube video last week - the Panthers rent practice space from the city -- and was suspended from the club, cops said. He's now on the run, NBC News reported. Ortiz is 5-8, 160 pounds with brown hair and dark eyes. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the Special Victims Bureau detectives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. With News Wire Services

Retired NHL defenseman Bryan Berard is legally blind in his right eye because on March 11, 2000, the stick of then-Senators forward michael kors tote bags Marian Hossa clipped him up high on a follow-through. But on Wednesday evening Berard, 36, said even he believes players should have the right to decide whether or not they wear protective visors. “I still believe it should be the players’ choice,” Berard told the Daily News in a Michael Kors iPad Case phone interview. “We step on the ice and you know what injuries are out there. Obviously it’s a freak accident, and guys are shooting the puck harder and there are more deflections now. Those things can happen.” The issue of facial protection in hockey has rushed back to the forefront following Marc Staal’s injury Tuesday night at the Garden, when a slap shot by Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen deflected into the Rangers defenseman’s right eye and sent him down, writhing as blood dripped onto the ice. Visors are not mandatory in the NHL, even though the league would like them to be and has argued that in collective bargaining. The players believe what Berard echoed ― they should have the right to choose. Visor use is at an all-time high, according to league deputy commissioner Bill Daly, “and continues to increase at a rapid pace.” The players’ union estimates that 73% of the league now wears visors, light years ahead of the 28% in 2001-02 reported by The Hockey News,Michael Kors Outlet Store, partially because the union educates the players on the risk they are taking by not wearing the shield. “While the players support visor use being a matter of individual choice, we continue to regularly educate the players on the benefits of wearing a visor so that each player can make an informed decision,” NHLPA special assistant to Michael Kors Shoulder Bags the executive director Mathieu Schneider said Wednesday. RELATED: RANGERS CLAIM FORMER ISLANDER HAMRLIK OFF WAIVERS FROM CAPS Wednesday night, the Rangers released the news that Staal, 26, had seen an ophthalmologist and Michael Kors Satchel Bags a maxillofacial surgeon in New York, that his injury “has improved significantly,” that “both doctors are optimistic that Marc will make a full recovery.” The statement concluded that as michael kors wallets on sale of the diagnosis, Staal’s injury would not require surgery. But Staal’s brother,Cheap Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online (9), Eric, the Carolina Hurricanes captain, told NHL.com earlier Wednesday that they were waiting for swelling to go down around Marc’s eye before making any further determinations. Berard recalls having to be patient due to the severe swelling. “Within days, the swelling is so bad and a lot of times the eye bleeds so it’s really tough to get an accurate read on the vision, certainly at this point, inside the eye,” Berard said. “That’s how mine was, too. My eye was completely shut. So I had to wait a week to 10 days for that to go down for them to be able to see anyway, so that’s going to happen with michael kors factory outlet him, as well.” Berard said the blood inside his eye did damage to his retina, but in his case, his retina also had completely detached. The first pick of the 1995 draft underwent seven surgeries and eventually played seven more NHL seasons ― launching his comeback in a one-year turn with the Rangers ― but said he never was more than 75%-to-80% of the player he once had been. The American Hockey League made visors mandatory in 2006 after Portland Pirates defenseman Jordan Smith lost his left eye on a puck deflection. The Canucks’ Manny Malhotra had significant damage done to his vision in 2010-11 that could have ended his career. A stick to the face and resulting concussion have damaged the vision and ended the career of Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger. It’s time to make visors in the NHL mandatory,Michael Kors Bags Outlet, whether or not Berard and the players advocate for their right to choose.

The "Voice of God" is silenced. Bob Sheppard, the beloved Yankee Stadium public address announcer for 57 years, died Sunday at his home in Baldwin, L.I., his wife, Mary, by his side. He was 99. Reggie Jackson is credited with aptly dubbing Sheppard "the Voice of God" for his introduction of players in a resonant baritone, delivered with perfect elocution at Yankee Stadium from April 17, 1951, until 2007, when Sheppard was felled by a bronchial infection, fatigue and weight loss that caused him to break his streak of 121 consecutive postseason games as the Stadium public address announcer. His hand-picked assistant and periodic sub, Jim Hall, succeeded him that season but when the Yankees moved to the new Yankee Stadium in 2009, Paul Olden was hired for the P.A. duties. During his first 50 years behind the Stadium mike, Sheppard missed only five games, all of them for family commitments, and he also did P.A. for the football Giants from 1956 (when they played at Yankee Stadium) to 2005. On May 7, 2000, Sheppard was honored by the Yankees with the 17th plaque in the Stadium's Monument Park, on which is inscribed: "His clear, concise and correct vocal style has announced the names of hundreds of players - both unfamiliar and legendary - with equal divine reverence, making him as synonymous with Yankee Stadium as its copper fa?ade and Monument Park." Born Oct. 12, 1910, Sheppard was a speech major at St. John's and a lefthanded quarterback Cheap Michael Kors on the football team from 1928-31. He was teaching speech and earning $25 a week when he was hired by the Brooklyn Dodgers of the long-defunct professional All-American Football Conference,Michael Kors Outlet, who played their games at Ebbets Field. When the Dodgers folded he moved to the Yankees in the same league where, at Yankee Stadium,Cheap Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online (14), Dan Topping, owner of the baseball Yankees, liked his work and hired him in 1951 to replace Arthur (Red) Patterson, who had been doubling up as the team's promotions director and P.A. announcer. Through the years, Sheppard's signature introductions - "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, welcome ... to Yankee Stadium, here are the lineups: Batting first, num-buh eighteen, Johnny Da-mon, num-buh 18. Batting second, num-buh two, De-rek Jet-uh, num-buh two ... " - became part of Stadium lore. (When the Yankees Michael Kors Crossbody moved to Shea Stadium during the renovation of Yankee Stadium in 1974-75, Sheppard was careful to alter his greeting to: "The Yankees welcome you to Shea Stadium.") And he had an equally classic "exit" announcement - "Thank you for coming and arrive home safely" - that,Michael Kors Online Store, in the early '80s was replaced by what he called "an even bigger voice" in Frank Sinatra, singing "New York, New York." So admired and revered by the players was Sheppard that after he took ill Jeter asked that a recording of Sheppard introducing him be used whenever he came to bat. And Jackson often recalled the time in Boston when, as he approached the plate for his first at-bat, he was startled to hear the voice of Sheppard come over the Fenway Park P.A. system: "Now batting, num-buh 44, Reg-gie Jack-son." Sheppard, it seemed, had been a visitor in the Fenway Park press box and was asked if he would like to do a cameo intro. And he was probably the only Yankee employee in the more than 35 years of George Steinbrenner's often tyrannical ownership who was never threatened with being fired by The Boss. That's not to say, however, he didn't come close. In a game against the Toronto Blue Jays in September 1985, Steinbrenner became infuriated after a guest singer named Mary O'Dowd butchered the Canadian national anthem, and the next day arranged for an apology to be announced to the citizens of Canada. Sheppard was having dinner in the Stadium press room when the call came down from Steinbrenner's secretary that his presence was required in the owner's office upstairs. "Tell him I'll be up as soon as I finish my dinner," Sheppard said. When informed of Sheppard's response, Steinbrenner was taken aback. "Doesn't he know who owns this team?" he bellowed. About 15 minutes later, Sheppard arrived in Steinbrenner's office, took his seat to the right of the Michael Kors Totes Yankee boss at the big round table, and handed him a piece of paper on which he'd written his own version of the apology. Steinbrenner, who had already drafted a three-page statement, citing the Canadians for, among other things, their Michael Kors Wallets help in the U.S. hostage crisis in Iran, perused the one Sheppard had written and said: "Okay, that's fine, but I want to add some other things." "I don't think that would be a good idea," Sheppard said, to Steinbrenner's further astonishment. "It should be succinct." "I must say," Sheppard told me one of the last times we talked on the phone, "in all the years with George, he never yelled at me or had a cross word with me or tried to force some announcement on me that I didn't think appropriate." A few years ago, I asked Sheppard which were his most favorite names to announce. PHOTOS: BOB SHEPPARD: THE VOICE OF THE YANKEES"Mickey Mantle, for one," he said, "because of the perfect alliteration. A perfect name for a ballplayer, I would say. A nice rhythm to it. On the other hand, we had a second baseman named Steve Sax. There's no rhythm to Steve Sax - two staccato sounds! But if I had to pick just one it would probably be the Japanese pitcher for the Angels, Shi-ge-toe-shee Ha-se-gaw-a! Just wonderful! How much fun it was to work my tongue around that one!" Sheppard later sent me a poem entitled: "A Poetic Tribute to Baseball's Hispanic Names" in which he penned: "There are certain names that go over well Like Pena, Ramos and Carrasquel With liquid sounds so panoramic And strangely they are all Hispanic Aurelio, Hipolito, Cecilio, Domingo Have a lovelier sound than American lingo What other name could I tell so musically as Valdivielso? And no other native name could ever show us the splendor Of Salome Barojas!" Though he was the standard-bearer for being "clear, Michael Kors Shoulder Bags concise and correct," Sheppard was nevertheless guilty of an occasional flub through the years, the most notable during a game in 1982 in which Yankee reliever Shane Rawley came in with the bases loaded and promptly gave up a double into the gap in left-center that scored all the runners. Not realizing the pedal to his microphone had accidentally gotten stuck, Sheppard off-handedly said to a visitor in his booth: "Now that's relief pitching!" Moments later, he was mortified upon realizing his words had gone out to everyone in the ballpark. The next day he went down to the clubhouse to personally apologize to Rawley. Bob Sheppard exuded dignity and gentility. He was a forever good humor man who spoke eloquently about everything and ill of no one. To the best of my knowledge, there were only two things that would bring a frown to his face in conversation: Foul language and questions about his age. Jim Bouton, the iconoclastic Yankee pitcher-turned-author, found out the hard way about the latter. Working as a broadcaster for WCBS-TV years ago, Bouton had arranged for an interview with Sheppard in the press box during a game. With his crew all set up, Bouton said to Sheppard: "Let's start by asking: 'How old are you, Bob?'" to which Sheppard replied tersely: "This interview is over." It was perfectly understandable that Sheppard, who is survived by his wife, Mary, and four children, took umbrage at Michael Kors Hamilton such an impertinent question. To him, age was irrelative. It was always his spirit that kept him forever young. And besides, did anyone ever ask how old God was? A wake will be held?Tuesday and Wednesday at the Fullerton Funeral Home, 769 Merrick Rd., Baldwin, L.I., from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. each day. The funeral will be held Thursday at 10:45 a.m. at St. Christopher's Church, 11 Gale Ave., Baldwin.

A New Jersey prosecutor portrayed a former Rutgers student on trial for spying on his gay roommate ― who later jumped off the George Washington Bridge ― as a mean-spirited bully bent on outing his fellow freshman. In a blistering opening statement, Prosecutor Julia McClure argued Friday that Dharun Ravi’s acts against his roommate, Tyler Clementi,Michael Kors Crossbody Bag, went far beyond an innocent prank. “They were planned to expose Tyler Clementi’s sexual orientation and they were planned to expose Tyler Clementi’s private sexual activity,” she said. “The defendant’s acts were not a prank, they were not an accident and they were not a mistake,Michael Kors Outlet Bags,” McClure added. “They were mean-spirited, they were malicious and they were criminal.” The case ― which sparked a national debate about cyberbullying against young gays ― is being watched closely by legal experts and activists. Ravi, 20, faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of the top charge of bias intimidation. Clementi jumped to his death on Sept. 22, 2010, just three days after the initial moments of his dorm room tryst with another Michael Kors Outlet man was viewed by Ravi and a pal, Molly Wei. Clementi ― a talented and shy violinist from Ridgewood, N.J. ― had told his michael kors factory outlet roommate he wanted michael kors outlet store to be alone with his male friend. Before leaving the room for the night, Ravi switched on his web cam. He then watched the rendezvous from Wei’s room ― and even Tweeted about it. “Roommate asked for the room till midnight,” Ravi posted on Twitter. “I went into molly’s room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay.” A day before Clementi committed suicide, McClure said, Ravi sent another Twitter message and went door-to-door inviting friends to view a second encounter. Michael Kors Outlet Online But it was never streamed online. Ravi is not charged in Clementi’s death ― and McClure not once mentioned it in her opening Michael Kors Wallets argument. Ravi’s defense lawyer Steven Altman emphasized that the Ultimate Frisbee fan from Plainsboro,Michael Kors Outlet, N.J., never broadcasted any images online. “Nobody transmitted anything,” Altman said. “Nobody reproduced any image of anything.” Altman argued that Ravi meant no harm and pointed to the fact that he was only 18 at the time. “You gotta keep things in perspective,” Altman said. “He might be stupid at times, but he was an 18-year-old boy and certainly not a criminal.” “There was no bullying...He’s not a bigot,” Altman added.
Seated on opposite sides Michael Kors Outlet Online Store of the court room, which was packed with members of the media, were the families of Ravi and Clementi. The trial is expected to last up to four weeks.

It’s old news that Times Square has been prettied up into a modern tourist mecca,Michael Kors Purse Outlet, but it wasn’t until late last year that any local would want to make a trip to the neon-lit chaos just to eat there. Last fall, Michael Kors Online Outlet the Times Square Alliance Michael Kors Online Store began a pilot program for independently run food kiosks, which for the next two years are serving everything from chicken Thai basil dumplings to artisanal pistachio doughnuts in the pedestrian plazas on Broadway between 40th and 47th Sts. Those blocks,Michael Kors Outlet Store, happily enough, have not just been declared auto-free, but are outfitted with tables and chairs, which means you can now eat well in Michael Kors Shop Online the middle of Times Square ― literally. AL FRESCO EDAMAME In Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online 2005,Michael Kors Outlet, Rickshaw Dumplings on 23rd St. was one of the first city restaurants to roll out a food truck, and they’re now a Times Square pioneer, too. Smack in front of the NYPD’s neighborhood headquarters, they sell their modernized version of Chinese pot stickers ― always steamed, not fried ― from a red, white and blue-painted shipping container from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. There are four varieties to choose from, including the traditional pork and chive (all are three for $3.75 or six for $6.50) Michael Kors Handbag Outlet or a vegetarian version filled with a mash of the steamed green soybeans the Japanese call edamame. (Those are served in Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online a whole-wheat flecked wrapper and paired with a lemony sansho pepper dipping sauce.) It’s mainly commuters who stop by for healthy-centric lunches like chicken Thai basil dumplings dunked in peanutty sauce, says cashier Kristian Galen: Tourists, he says, “just ask for directions.” Broadway Plaza at W. 43rd St. HOT POCKETS Just a few blocks up Broadway ― with a prime position in front of the Toys “R” Us flagship store ― the inspiration behind the adorable Nuchos kiosk is the buttery-crusted Argentinean hand pies known as empanadas. The country’s classic model is filled with a heavily spiced mix of ground beef, potatoes and olives ― just the right combination of fatty meat and flaky pastry. But Nuchos plays around with tradition, offering everything from silky spinach and mushroom to a spicy chipotle-spiked chicken. (All are $2.76, as are the stellar lemon and orange sodas imported from France.) Locals come on weekdays for two-for-$5 specials, but on weekends visitors from Denmark to Dubai queue up between Batman impersonators and what seems like half a dozen furry Elmos. “I feel like this is my little refuge from the insanity,” jokes manager Yannis Moati, whose mini-kitchen, a former shipping container now outfitted with four slender ovens, is open from 8 a.m. to midnight.

Four weeks into New York City’s bus strike, thousands of students with disabilities are still not getting to school each day. Last Friday’s attendance rate in District 75 schools ― the schools that serve students with the most serious needs ― was just 72.7%, 12 points below its prestrike average . In any given day,Michael Kors Bags Outlet, about 2,500 young people in these schools aren’t getting the education they need and deserve. Yet Tuesday, Mayor Bloomberg chose to ratchet up the conflict ― announcing the bids for companies that would replace those currently contracted to do the work ― rather than moving closer to a real resolution. Lost in the standoff is the fact that this unacceptable and outrageous situation could continue until the end of the school year. Also lost is how profoundly Michael Kors Handbags the city has failed to provide for parents and students from the beginning of the dispute. They’ve been the true victims from day one. Initially, the city offered only MetroCards and reimbursement for carfare as an alternative to yellow bus service. Public transportation and taxicabs, hardly accessible to people with disabilities in the first place, are an impossibility for large numbers of children and their families. The city offered no plan for students who needed accessible transportation, no plan for children who needed an adult to accompany them to school and did not have a parent available,Michael Kors Bags, no plan for families with more than one child in different schools and no plan for families who could not afford to put out carfare twice a day and wait for reimbursement. Some students with disabilities attend school so far from their homes that a car service would end up costing hundreds of dollars each week ― a burden even for middle-class families. A week into the strike, under pressure from advocates, the Department of Education finally started to put a plan in place that would allow some families to access car services paid directly by the city. But the rollout has been rocky at best, and many problems remain to be resolved. The members of the ARISE Coalition ― parents, advocates, educators and academics who work together to improve special education in the five Michael Kors Handbags On Sale boroughs ― have heard from countless families struggling to get their children to and from school during the strike. One mother told us how her son, who uses a wheelchair, has not been able to get to school because of lack of accessible public transportation and her need to bring his three younger siblings Michael Kors Handbags Clearance along if she finds an alternative. Another parent, who uses a wheelchair Michael Kors Store herself, has a son attending a special education program in Westchester County. Laying out carfare in advance would be prohibitive, and this parent needs to either ride back and forth with her son to school or find someone else to accompany him. Initially, the DOE refused to pay the carfare upfront or cover the cost of the parent’s return trips (i.e.,Michael Kors Fulton Handbag, when her son is not in the car). With recent updates to DOE policy and aggressive advocacy on his behalf, this student is finally back in school, but first the family struggled to find a car service to accept the DOE’s vouchers. Just last week, the DOE added him to a bus route that is still running. For another family, it took until last week to get their daughter from Staten Island to Manhattan to attend school. In the first few days of the strike, the parent made the trip herself, but as it became clear there Michael Kors Macys was no end in sight, the trips began to take their toll. Arranging an accessible ride from Staten Island to Manhattan turned out to be next to impossible, with the family Michael Kors Handbags Uk finally lining up one service that then failed to show. The city’s leaders seem to have forgotten they have a duty to these kids ― a duty to provide them with an education that does not end because of a contract dispute. Moroff is the coordinator of the ARISE (Action for Reform in Special Education) Coalition.

Singh, a former Indian Army officer wanted in a 1996 killing in the disputed Kashmir region killed his wife and two of their children in their California home Saturday, June 9, 2012 before apparently taking his own life, authorities said. (AP Photo/Fresno County Sheriff's Office)SELMA, Calif. (AP) ― Neighbors of an Indian family killed in a murder-suicide grappled with allegations Sunday that the man accused in the shooting in a small California agricultural town was a former Indian army officer wanted for years for murder in his homeland.News of Saturday's shooting boomeranged through the area's close-knit Indian community, which numbers 15,500 in Fresno County, including about 750 in Selma, a small town surrounded by vineyards and peach orchards and known as the "Raisin Capital of the World." The majority of Indians in the area are Punjabi Sikhs, like the family.Authorities have said the former officer, Avtar Singh, shot his wife and two children and gravely wounded a third child early Saturday before turning the gun on himself. Investigators were still trying to determine a motive."Our community is completely shocked," said Rajbir Singh Pannu, president of the town's Sikh temple. "It's a really bad misfortune, especially for the children who died. Anybody who takes somebody's life, in our religion that's cowardice."It was just more than a year ago that Singh was arrested after his wife said he had choked her.That set off a process that prompted the Indian government to seek his extradition days later in the 1996 death of a prominent lawyer and human rights activist in Kashmir, a disputed region in the Himalayas.Singh, who in recent years operated a small trucking business in Selma, was released on bail after last year's arrest. It remained unclear Sunday why he was never extradited.In India, the lawyer and brother of Jalil Andrabi ― the murdered human rights activist ― blamed the Indian government, saying Singh's family would still be alive if officials had tried harder to bring him to justice."These lives Michael Kors Outlet Online Store could have been saved if a trial of Maj. Avtar Singh was conducted on time," said Andrabi's brother, Arshad. "We have lost that chance now. He was a known murderer and we are appalled that he was even shielded in the United States. It's a failure of justice at all levels."In Selma, community members were also disappointed that police did not send michael kors factory outlet Singh back to India when his warrant came to light, Pannu said."They should have taken him then and there, if they had evidence, and not let him kill more people," he said.Neighbors and Indian community members said they knew little about the husband's military past."Not many people knew him. He didn't tell anybody who he is or where he came from," said Harry Gill, president of Punjabi Sahit, a Punjabi organization in the Central Valley. "The family didn't attend any functions. They lived a very low profile life."News of the murder-suicide reached Gill on Saturday at an Indian wedding attended by about 1,000 people. When Gill asked others about the family, no one knew much about them.Next door neighbor, Barbara Childers, said the family's three-year-old often rode his bike outside and the wife cooked with her window open. Singh fertilized Childers' lawn a few days ago."They were the most wonderful family,Michael Kors Outlet," she said. Michael Kors Outlet Online "They were helpful neighbors, the sweetest people you have ever met."On Saturday, Childers said she heard 11 shots. Soon afterward, the neighborhood was evacuated by police.Singh called police around 6:15 a.m. and told them that he had just killed four people,Michael Kors Outlet, Fresno County Sheriff's Deputy Chris Curtice said. A sheriff's SWAT team was called in to assist because of Singh's military background and the Indian charges against michael kors wallets on sale him, Curtice said.The SWAT team found the bodies of Singh, a woman believed to be his wife and two children, ages 3 and 15 in the home. All appeared to have died from gunshot wounds, Curtice said.The 17-year-old suffered severe head trauma. He remained in critical condition on at a Fresno medical center.On Sunday morning, two dozen classmates of the two older boys ― the 15-year-old was known as Aryan and the 17-year-old was known as Chris ― ran 5 miles from Selma High School to the family's house to remember the boys. They said the two were well-liked and members of the school's ROTC."Chris was smart, funny and very motivated. He was very easy to get along with," said 15-year-old Alexis Galindo, his classmate and neighbor.The boys told her that their father kept several weapons in the house, but they never mentioned any problems at home, she said.Christopher Cano, another classmate, said he last talked to Chris Friday night at the movie theater."He was with his mom and brothers. They looked so happy," he said.Cano said he texted Chris when he heard about the incident. "I'm still hoping he'll text me back," he said.The only other Indian family that lives on the same street said they also knew little of the Singhs. Abeda Desai said the family had no relatives in California, but the wife's siblings lived in Canada, while the husband's relatives were still in India.Selma police last had contact with Singh about two months ago when he called to complain that a reporter who was in the area wouldn't leave him alone because of the murder warrant.The reporter, Kashmiri freelancer Zahid Rafiq, told The Associated Press that Singh also called him and threatened to kill him if he approached Singh for an interview.The human rights lawyer killed in 1996 disappeared at the height of protests in Indian-controlled Kashmir, where nearly a dozen rebel groups have fought security forces for independence or merger with Pakistan since 1989. More than 68,000 people, mostly civilian, have been killed in the uprising and subsequent michael kors tote bags Indian crackdown.A police investigation said Andrabi had been picked up from his Srinagar home by Indian troops and killed in their custody. The probe blamed Singh and his soldiers for that killing and also accused Singh of involvement in the killings of six other Kashmiri men.Singh had been charged in Kashmir only with Andrabi's killing. But Kashmir police had also sought permission from the government of India for Singh's prosecution in the six other killings.Under India's armed forces special powers act, federal permission has to be obtained before police can prosecute any army or paramilitary soldier posted in Kashmir.At the temple in Selma on Sunday, women in flowing michael kors outlet store tunics and pants, colorful shawls draped over their heads, kneeled on the right of the hall and men in turbans and scarves on the left while community leaders read prayers for the family during the Sunday service.Temple leaders said the community would collect money so that those killed could be cremated, ― the usual method for disposal of remains in Sikhism.Neighbors and classmates also planned to hold a vigil for the family Sunday evening.___Associated Press writer Aijaz Hussain in Srinagar, India, contributed to this report.

Jeff Francoeur?homered in the fourth inning Sunday and when David Wright did the same in the fifth, Francoeur tried to tweak his teammate by saying, "Mine went further than yours.""He said his went out faster than mine," Francoeur said, laughing. "And then Ike hit his and we were both like, 'Uh,Michael Kors Bags Outlet, we'll shut up now.' He crushed it. He's got stupid pop."If the Mets seemed like they were having a good time Sunday, they were. And why not? They completed a home stand against two American League contenders by clobbering the Twins, 6-0, behind Jon Niese's six-plus shutout innings and the homers by Francoeur, Wright and Ike Davis,Michael Kors Shop Online, whose blast struck the Shea Bridge beyond the right-center field fence at Citi Field.After completing the 4-2 home stand against Detroit and Minnesota, the Mets were practically giddy as they packed for their trip to San Juan, where they start a three-game series against the Marlins Monday night. It was rookie hazing day, so even after Davis and Niese played vital roles in a victory, they had to squeeze into too-tight USA soccer shirts and shorts, giving their older teammates a laugh. "Sexy, sexy!" Jose Reyes told one rookie.Sunday's victory was the Mets' 11th shutout of the season, tops in baseball. They finished interleague play with a 13-5 record, setting a team high for interleague wins in one season and pushing the franchise to Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online 118-111 in interleague play since it started in 1997.They did everything, whether it was Niese allowing just four hits Michael Kors Online Store and three walks, or them Michael Kors Shop Online batting around in the fifth inning in which they scored four times. The lineup thrived even though its igniter, Reyes, was 0-for-5, and their bullpen threw three more scoreless innings, meaning it has only allowed one run in its last 26-1/3 innings."What was good to see, obviously, was Frenchy hitting a home run on a breaking ball, and David Wright's two-strike home run was impressive," Jerry Manuel said. Michael Kors Online Store "He fouled off tough pitches, hung in there and hit it out."Reyes didn't get on base and to score six runs without Jose Reyes being the centerpiece, that's a good sign."Niese (5-2), meanwhile,Cheap Michael Kors Handbags, won his fourth consecutive decision and has a 2.67 ERA in his last five starts. He says he washed away his poor, rain-interrupted outing against the Tigers Tuesday as soon as it happened, but he backed it up Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online with numbers and a biting curveball Sunday."The last time was just kind of an awkward situation and I wanted to put it in the past," said Niese, who returned after a rain delay that day and gave up six runs in 4-2/3 innings. "Bad outings happen and all you can do is put it behind you and move on to the next one."Niese retired 10 straight Sunday from the first to the fifth inning. He stranded two Twins in both the first and fifth and even had to test his surgically repaired right hamstring in the fifth by covering first twice. He alarmed some by shaking his leg several times, but he said the leg was fine."It's nothing, my Michael Kors Online Outlet leg never bothers me," Niese said. "I always shake my leg. I didn't worry about it. Ike gave me some great feeds and I just made sure I found the bag."Niese got a double play to escape the sixth after allowing a leadoff single and a walk. He came out to start the seventh but was taken out when he walked the leadoff hitter. He didn't want to come out - who does? - but he said he knew his bosses had to make a move when he walked the first hitter. Still, Niese felt great about his start."With the success, that breeds more confidence," Manuel said. "He feels he can compete."

MONTPELIER, Vt. - Technicians at the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant will begin Michael Kors Outlet work Monday morning to fix a pipe that leaked radioactive water and forced the plant to shut down.The nuclear reactor was taken out of service at 7 p.m. Sunday. Plant spokesman Larry Smith estimated it would take 13 hours to cool down enough for workers to enter the area and make repairs.Smith said the leak of about 60 drops a minute was spotted earlier Sunday during routine surveillance. It was coming from a 2-foot-wide pipe that was part of the circulation system involving the reactor, he said. The water was being collected by a sump pump and cycled back through the system, he said.The cause of the leak was not immediately known. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said the public was not in any danger.It was the second shutdown Michael Kors Wallets within an hour at a plant owned by New Orleans-based Entergy Corp.A transformer exploded at a nuclear power plant north of New York City, forcing an emergency shutdown of one of its reactors. No one was injured and no radioactive materials leaked.Entergy spokesman Jim Steets said the affected reactor, Indian Point 2, would remain offline until investigators could determine the cause of the explosion.NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan called the two shutdowns "complete coincidence."RELATED: EXPLOSION SHUTS DOWN NUCLEAR Michael Kors Outlet Online Store POWER PLANT NEAR NYCSheehan said agency inspectors were overseeing the shutdown at the Vermont Yankee plant in Vernon. He said the water would have low levels of radioactivity,Cheap Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online \(45\), such as tritium and other isotopes, as part of the usual plant operation."The levels are so low, they really wouldn't be harmful to anybody," Sheehan said Sunday. "There is no immediate health or safety concern as far as this leakage. Any leakage would be captured by the plant system so there's no exposure to the public."The outage at the 38-year-old Vermont plant was not expected to cause any shortage of power in New England, which has a surplus of electricity. The plant provides electricity to the region's power grid.It was the first unplanned shutdown at the plant since May, when a problem developed in the electrical switchyard where the plant connects to the grid. The leak also came three days after Entergy announced it hopes to sell Vermont Yankee, which it bought from a group of New England utilities in 2002.Vermont Yankee has been hampered by problems this year.In January, Michael Kors Totes officials michael kors outlet store announced that tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that has been linked to cancer when ingested in large amounts, had turned up in a test well on Vermont Yankee's property on the banks of the Connecticut River in Vernon. Later, other radioactive substances were found to have leaked into groundwater and soil surrounding the plant.Also in January, legislators learned that Vermont Yankee personnel had misled them and Michael Kors Outlet Online state regulators by saying Vermont Yankee did not have the type of underground piping that would leak tritium.In February, the state Senate voted to kill a bill to allow regulators to issue a new state license for Vermont Yankee to operate after 2012, when the plant's current state and federal licenses expire. Lawmakers could revisit the issue in their session next year.Even with last week's announced plan to sell the plant, Democrat Sen. Peter Shumlin,Michael Kors Cross Body Bag, who appears likely to be named by the Legislature as the state's new governor,Michael Kors Hamilton, said he would continue to oppose a license extension for Vermont Yankee.

DAMATURU, Nigeria (AP) ― Multiple clashes between security forces and suspected members of a radical Islamist sect in Nigeria's north have left four policemen, Michael Kors Bags four civilians and 19 militants dead, authorities said Wednesday,Michael Kors Handbag Outlet, as the feared sect continues to widen the scope of its attacks.Assailants torched two blocks of empty classrooms at the Federal Polytechnic Damaturu in the northeastern city of Damaturu Tuesday evening, said Yobe state police chief Patrick Egbuniwe.Salisu Ado, who lives near the polytechnic, said he heard a blast at around 6 p.m. Tuesday. He said it destroyed a nearby police outpost in a city still reeling from multiple sect attacks last week which, authorities say, left 40 people dead.Suspected Boko Haram members and Nigerian security forces had clashed early last week in the besieged city. The police and army had fought back after Boko Haram sect members struck six churches, five primary schools, a police station and a police outpost across the city, authorities said.Egbuniwe said security forces engaged the sect in another hours-long gun battle Tuesday night that left two suspected sect members dead in Damaturu. He said at least two civilians were also killed and two more injured in the attacks.In a major northern city about 430 kilometers (270 miles) west of Damaturu, police say gunmen targeted police in two residential neighborhoods.About 30 suspected sect members stormed one part of the city, attacking a police station and a police outpost, said Kano state police chief Ibrahim Idris.He said gunmen also attacked a police college and barracks in another part of Kano, Nigeria's second-largest city.Idris Michael Kors Handbag Outlet said 17 suspected sect Michael Kors Bags Outlet members were killed in an ensuing gun battle and three others arrested. He said a policeman was also killed and another wounded.In January, a coordinated assault on government buildings and Michael Kors Purse Outlet other sites in Kano by Boko Haram killed at least 185 people.

Idris said that at least 45 civilians have Michael Kors Outlet Houston died in drive-by killings that occurred after the Michael Kors Handbag Outlet January attacks.Later Tuesday night, about 730 kilometers (450 miles) from Kano, gunmen attacked a police station and administrative police offices in the town of Wukari in the northcentral state of Taraba, said Taraba police spokesman Amos Olaoye. They also robbed three banks, he said.Three policemen and two civilians were killed in the attacks, Olaoye said.He could not say if Boko Haram was responsible,Michael Kors Crossbody Bag, but the sect has carried out attacks in the area in the past.Boko Haram began its terror campaign with gun attacks from the backs of motorcycles. Last year,Michael Kors Outlet Online, it started escalating its assaults with a string of suicide bombings targeting churches, government buildings, and even the United Nations headquarters in the capital, Abuja.The group is held responsible for at least 620 deaths this year alone, according to an Associated Press count.___Associated Press writers Ibrahim Abdul contributed from Jalingo and Ibrahim Garba contributed from Kano.

In Dr. Josh Bazell’s first novel, “Beat the Reaper,” his main Michael Kors Outlet character, a former hit man named Pietro Brnwa, basically takes on the mob and the U.S. government at the same time, and wins ― or Michael Kors Outlet Handbags at the very least, lives. Brnwa is back in Bazell’s second novel, “Wild Thing,” which landed last week, but this time he’s on the hunt for a legendary Minnesota lake monster. With the ability to snap someone’s neck on a whim, Brnwa (who is slated to be played by Leonardo DiCaprio in an HBO series) is certainly a dangerous man. Bazell, on the other hand, is not, even if Michael Kors Handbags Outlet he is keenly interested in visual and audio recording devices behind the counter at a spy shop in Bay Ridge,Michael Kors Handbags Outlet . “What kind of people shop here?” the 41-year-old Michael Kors Outlet Store medical resident and novelist asks the man behind the counter, who tells Bazell it is mostly husbands who want to spy on their wives. Unlike his main character, Bazell is not an imposing presence, which might have something to do with his traveling companion, an 11-year-old Boston terrier named Lottie but which he continually refers to as Sweetiebunch. “People are routinely disappointed to meet me,” he says while also mentioning that he is currently sleeping on a couch in his sister’s Park Slope apartment. “You might think you know somebody from reading their books, but you don’t. What tough guy is going to sit at their computer for thousands of hours to write a novel? Not one I’ve ever met.” But make no mistake about it, what Bazell lacks in intimidation, he more than makes up for in curiosity. After all, here is a man who has succeeded at both becoming a doctor and a successful novelist, at the same time. That’s right, Bazell wrote “Beat the Reaper” while still in medical school, which is no easy task considering the massive amount of time required to study medicine. “I had essentially no life,” he says after leaving Michael Kors Factory Outlet the spy shop to walk his dog around the block. “Every minute I wasn’t studying, I was writing.” The benefit to balancing both tasks was that Bazell, who is currently finishing his residency in psychiatry, managed to incorporate realistic medical details (along with a plethora of footnotes) into the novel. So much so, in fact, that many praised the book as “a criminal and medical thriller.” “There is a way of thinking that medicine forces you to take that the character adopts because he is a doctor,” says Bazell. “They say going to medical school doubles your vocabulary. I’m not so sure I believe that, but it certainly provides a perspective that I was not aware of before.” Unlike Bazell’s first book, “Wild Thing” does not take place in a hospital and is noticeably lighter on medical terminology. But it is just as detail oriented. For research, Bazell estimates he read more than a hundred books on topics as varied as Minnesota history, forestry, Republican politics and, of course, sea monsters, which is something that the psychiatrist actually has personally experienced. “When I was 12, my family went on vacation to Grand Cayman,Michael Kors Outlet,” he recalls. “We were on a boating trip when the boat ran out of gas and Michael Kors Canada Outlet my father swam for shore,Michael Kors Outlet, which was about a mile or two away.” Despite a massive search, the 12-year-old Bazell, his sister and his stepmother ended up floating in that boat for three days with no food or water. According to Bazell, “At one point, a shark came very close to biting off my hand. We were sure we were going to die. The water was so clear I could see all these huge animals circling underneath the boat.” Bazell and his family were eventually rescued by a Japanese oil tanker that happened to be passing by, but the image of lurking sea creatures stuck with the aspiring writer. Not that he believes in mythical sea creatures. This is, of course, a man of science. “I am convinced that the Loch Ness Monster was a very explicit hoax created to save a particular town in Scotland after the Depression hit,” says Bazell. “It has been brilliantly effective. Did you know that more people visit Loch Ness each year than the entire population of Scotland?” Above all else, Bazell is a man full of surprises. In fact, much like his protagonist, Bazell has a long history of martial arts training. He is currently training in the close range combat form called Wing Chun. So does Dr. Bazell have any butt-kicking advice for his main character? “Some people can take a strike to the groin, but nobody can shrug off a blow to the throat,” he says. “Also, get yourself a big dog that scares people on the street.” He looks down at his elderly Boston terrier and adds, “Isn’t that right, Sweetiebunch?”

If you catch your toddler in a little white lie, relax. You may have a future banker on your hands, according to research reported in The Telegraph. A quick-thinking 2-year-old who masters the art of fibbing actually has a fast-developing brain and will probably be successful in adulthood. In fact, the more believable the tall tale,Michael Kors Cross Body Bag, the more quick-witted the child will be down the line ? and the better equipped to meet life's challenges.Lying, which michael kors tote bags requires the brain to manipulate information, is associated with brain regions that permit higher-order thinking. It's also very common: some 20 percent of 2-year-olds lie, nearly 50 percent of 3-year-olds lie, and close to 90 michael kors factory outlet percent of kids lie at age 4. The most deceitful age of all, says The Telegraph, is 12, when almost every kid tells fibs, and by the age of 16, lying starts to decrease. Just 70 percent of 16-year-olds lie.?Parents should not be alarmed if their child fibs, according to Dr. Kang Lee, director of Toronto University’s Institute of Child Study, who michael kors outlet store carried out the research."Those who have better cognitive development lie better because they can cover up their tracks," he said, according to The Telegraph. "They may make bankers in later life."For their research, Lee's team tested 1,200 kids between the ages of 2 and 16. The researchers invited michael kors wallets on sale the younger children to sit, one at a time,Michael Kors Outlet, in a room with Michael Kors Outlet Online Store hidden cameras. A soft toy was positioned behind them, and when the researcher left the room, the kids were told not to look. Nine out of 10 times, they were caught on camera Michael Kors Outlet peeking but when asked,Cheap Michael Kors Handbags Outlet Online (12), they nearly always denied it.Then they betrayed themselves when asked if they knew what the toy behind them might be.Older kids were given an exam paper and told not to look at the answers on the back. When the kids who looked at the back to "Presidius Akeman" to the phony question, "Who discovered Tunisia?," some said they had learned the answer in history class.While parents may wonder if their little liar will grow up to be a fraudster, experts say there's no evidence that this is so. In fact, catching your little one lying should be used as a "teachable moment," Lee says."You shouldn't smack or scream at your child but you should talk about the importance of honesty and the negativity of lying," Lee told the Sunday Times. "After the age of 8, the opportunities are going to be very rare."Kids under 5 who tell tall tales are engaging in "normal activity," according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. They're simply blurring the distinction between reality and fantasy, and it's most likely not a serious problem. When an older child or teenager lies, parents should talk about the difference between make-believe and reality, and the importance of being honest. And, the academy recommends, parents should discuss "alternatives to lying." Perhaps as in telling the truth.

WASHINGTON ― Al Qaeda’s mad scientists have upgraded their underwear bombs while the U.S. has deliberately dumbed down its airport scanners, counterterror officials said Wednesday. After the bungled Christmas Day 2009 underwear bomb bid on a Detroit-bound airliner, the Transportation Security Administration Michael Kors Bags Outlet rushed to field full-body Michael Kors Purses Outlet scanners ― giving fliers a virtual strip-search and in some cases an “enhanced pat-down.” Complaints about the invasive scans led the TSA to switch naked images for generic “gingerbread man” readouts, with suspect spots highlighted by computer software for focused pat-downs. And a House committee investigating TSA waste and mismanagement found that some $184 million in airport screening equipment was gathering dust in a government warehouse. “This Al Qaeda affiliate has been spending its money and ingenuity in finding new ways to sneak explosives past our security systems,” said an official briefed on the latest plot by Michael Kors Outlet Handbags Al Qaeda’s Yemeni affiliate to use an upgraded version of the underwear bomb. “We’ve spent the past months finding ways not to offend or scare frequent fliers. What is wrong with this picture? Another law enforcement source added: “Al Qaeda adjusted and used the time between the Christmas bombing and now to make improvements. We have used the same time to be, in some ways, less aggressive in airport screening.” FBI experts are poring over the device seized in the intelligence coup that upended Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s plans to blow up a U.S.-bound airliner. A Saudi undercover operative posing as a wanna-be suicide bomber convinced the terrorists to give him one of the improved bombs, sources confirmed. The 2009 bomb failed because of a shoddy detonator, a problem AQAP bombmaker Ibrahim al-Asiri sought to remedy in the new device, while adjusting its fit to fool scanners, sources told the Daily News. Last year, TSA Administrator Michael Kors Outlet John Pistole told lawmakers that existing technology would have caught the 2009 bomb. But U.S. officials are unsure it would have nailed the new one. “What I have heard ― and it’s not definitive ― is that it would have been difficult for this bomb to get by the whole-body imagers that we have at our major airports and others around the country,” Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee told MSNBC Wednesday. Regardless, the feds should keep their mouths shut,Michael Kors Handbags Outlet, said Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. “The FBI test is still going on. And when we do find out,Michael Kors Macys, we shouldn’t be saying anything either way. No one in the government should be talking about it,” railed King, who fumed at the leaks that brought the Michael Kors Online Shop case to light, calling them Michael Kors Outlet Handbags “absolutely disgusting.” The select “Gang of Eight” senior lawmakers, who are briefed on most significant intelligence operations, weren’t aware of the operation until Monday’s Associated Press report. “It was kept more secret than any operation I was aware of. Even more than the bin Laden operation,” King said. That means the leak likely came from the intelligence community, the administration or a foreign government, King said. A spokeswoman for Director of National Intelligence Gen. James Clapper said he has launched an inquiry into whether the information came from the U.S. intelligence community. Intelligence officials fear Al Qaeda has more new underwear or body cavity bombs, but a U.S. official said the busted plot doesn’t mean they’ll panic and rush to field them. “That’s not how they operate,Michael Kors Outlet,” the official said. Al-Asiri and his cronies are more likely to lay low, in particular after a recent U.S. drone strike in Yemen that killed AQAP commander and 2000 USS Cole bombing conspirator Fahd al-Quso. agendar@nydailynews.com

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) ― Hundreds of fighters aligned with Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara committed grave crimes, including execution and torture during the country's recent post-election violence, according to the final report of the country's Commission of Inquiry given to the president on Wednesday.Although the report has not yet been made public, the description of what it contains is bound to be welcomed and applauded by human rights groups, which have accused Ouattara's administration of one-sided justice. Crimes committed by Ouattara's fighters have been well-documented both by international rights groups and journalists that reported on the conflict, but despite numerous reports detailing the abuse, over a year after Ouattara seized power, only politicians and fighters allied with the president he ousted have so far been arrested.Paulette Badjo, the head of the commission,Michael Kors Purses Outlet, said Wednesday that the inquiry revealed that 545 members of the Republican Forces of Ivory Coast, the army Michael Kors Outlet that was created to install Ouattara, committed summary executions, while 54 committed torture. By contrast, the commission found that 1,009 pro-Gbagbo fighters committed executions and 136 committed torture. The report also documents other crimes including sexual violence and extortion.At least 3,000 people died in violence that erupted after former President Laurent Gbagbo refused to concede defeat to Ouattara in the November 2010 election. Gbagbo was detained in April 2011 and transferred to the International Criminal Court at The Hague later in the year, where he is awaiting trial on charges of crimes against humanity. Since then, more than 100 Gbagbo loyalists,Michael Kors Outlet, including the former ruler's son and his wife, Michael Kors Satchels Bags have been detained in Ivory Coast in connection with the conflict, while no fighters Michael Kors Bags Outlet from Ouattara's side have been credibly investigated, prompting allegations of "victor's justice."Government officials have defended the lack of investigations against pro-Ouattara fighters by saying they were waiting for the commission to finish its work. Badjo said the purpose of the report was not to advocate for particular prosecutions. "Our role is not to pursue criminal proceedings against the authors of crimes," she said. "Our role is to identify the authors of these crimes so that justice can take place."However, after Wednesday's ceremony, Justice Minister Matto Loma Cisse suggested prosecutions would begin soon. "Now that the investigation is finished, we can link the investigation to prosecutions," she said.In brief remarks, Ouattara also reiterated his support for prosecutions of crimes committed by both sides during the conflict. "It is by letting justice play its role that we can fight impunity," he said.The full report was not released to the public Wednesday, but Ouattara said it would be at a later date. In a recent interview, however, Human Rights Minister Gnenema Coulibaly said the report could not be released without significant redactions so as to protect the identity of those who testified for the commission. "It will not be totally made public," he said. "We must take into account the security of the people that intervened as witnesses. It won't be a good thing for these persons to be exposed like this."Matt Wells, West Africa researcher for Human Rights Watch and the author of a report on the post-election violence, said that the report should be released in Michael Kors Outlet Online Store full and that it should lead to prosecutions of pro-Ouattara fighters."The commission's legacy will be determined by whether its work spurs prompt investigations into crimes committed by pro-Ouattara fighters, ensuring impartial - rather than one-sided - justice for the grave post-election crimes," he said. "To guarantee transparency and to contribute to truth-telling for the conflict's victims, the report's findings should be made public in their entirety."The presentation of the final report to Ouattara came just days after Ivory Coast witnessed some of the most significant violence committed in Abidjan, the commercial capital, since the end of the conflict. At least 11 soldiers were killed in attacks on Sunday and Monday - incidents that government and military officials have said were carried out by Gbagbo loyalists.Speaking to reporters Wednesday evening, Interior Minister Hamed Bakayoko provided more details of an alleged plot involving rogue members of the army and Gbagbo loyalists in Ivory Coast and abroad. He said the attack on a military camp in Abidjan early Monday morning was coordinated by a soldier based at Michael Kors Bags Outlet the camp who worked in concert with other military officials. He said the soldier, Ble Herve, had been in contact with Gbagbo loyalists in Abidjan and Paris. The attack,Michael Kors Outlet Online Store, he said, was part of a Michael Kors Outlet Online broader attempt to take over part of the country and then press for Gbagbo's release.A total of 11 arrests have been made in connection with the recent attacks, Bakayoko said. Among those arrested, he said, is the brother-in-law of former first lady Simone Gbagbo, who is currently being held in the country's north. (Copyright 2012 Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

After a brutal day like Monday, buying a safe and stuffing it with cash is looking like a very appealing option.For average investors, the damage from Standard & Poor’s U.S. debt downgrade was harsh, sending 401(k)s plummeting further in value, while stoking fears of another recession and further declines in the housing market.There parajumpers femme was a silver lining. While many believed interest rates on mortgages, student loans and credit cards would rise as a result of the debt downgrade, for now borrowers don’t have to worry.Rates on those types of consumer loans are tied to the 10-year Treasury Doudoune Parajumpers Kodiak note. Even after the debt downgrade, investors have flocked to buy treasury bonds, causing rates to go down.“U.S. Treasury bonds are still seen as a safe investment,” said Stan Humphries, chief economist for real estate website Zillow.But the housing market could doudoune parajumper be in for another drubbing as buyers spooked by the stock market’s decline put off home purchases. Making matters worse is S&P’s downgrade yesterday of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which own or guarantee about half of the country’s mortgages.If we head into a recession,doudoune parajumpers homme, parajumpers homme real estate values will fall another 10% to 15%,pjs doudoune, said Michael Moskowitz, president of New York mortgage lender Equity Now.“This couldn’t come at a worse time for the housing market,” said Jonathan Miller, CEO of real estate appraisal company, Miller Samuel.But all the rough news doesn’t mean you Parajumpers en vente should be stuffing your veste parajumpers mattress.

David Wright's scorching drive in the first inning Friday night struck halfway up that infernal left-field wall at Citi Field for a one-run double instead of a two-run homer, just as Chipper Jones knew it would."It's funny to see them hit the ball off the wall and look at me like, 'God-damned, what do I got to do?'" Jones said Friday, before that 16-foot wall and Tim Hudson doomed the Mets to a 4-1 defeat, their fifth in a row.It's not lost on Jones that the Mets are struggling to contend in the NL East, while his Braves emerged from their franchise slump and will likely make the playoffs for a second straight year. Both Jones and Terry Collins share the opinion that the Mets' lousy home record might be the result of those imposing walls, plus the absence of a jet stream out to right-center, which sometimes carried Jones' balls out of Shea.Citi Field is both modestly scaled and impossibly dimensioned,Doudoune Parajumpers Alaska, an architectural paradox. "I've played here long enough to know that's not a home run," Wright said of his double. There was another blast in the seventh last night by Lucas Duda, a homer elsewhere, which died at the warning track in right.Will the Mets ever do something about this? Not Jones' problem, really. He dragged his sore quad and surgically repaired knee one more parajumpers paris time into Flushing, and the new place was something of an unpleasant parajumpers pas cher reminder about how the romance and aura of the venue blouson parajumpers had flown."Not the same atmosphere," said Jones,doudoune parajumper, who named his son after Shea."The fans were right there on top of you. It's a little more laid-back now, the same thing in Atlanta. You can still yell at the fans. But you got to scream a lot louder."How he loved the old place, tormenting Met fans in his designated villain role. As the wild-card-leading Braves opened their final 2011 regular-season series Friday night in New York, his career numbers against the Mets read like a dream season-and-a-third: in 223 games, Jones had collected 250 hits, 47 homers, 40 doubles, 146 RBI with a .318 batting average and 20 stolen bases.He was at his most exquisitely despicable in 1999, his MVP year, when the Braves swept a three-game September series at Turner Field to put away the Mets in the NL East. Jones hit four homers and drove doudoune parajumpers homme in more than half the Atlanta runs in those games. Then after knocking the wild-card Mets out of the NLCS, he donned his best, bad-guy persona and advised, "Now Met fans can go home and put their Yankee stuff on."He didn't play Friday night. The plan is for Jones to start Saturday, then take Sunday off to rest the knot in his thigh. He is a charming provocateur,Doudoune Parajumpers Alaska, and hopefully the fans at Citi Field will someday send off this doudoune parajumper future Hall of Famer with the appropriate applause.Jones wouldn't wax sentimental about this visit in the twilight of his career. He was considering Doudoune Parajumpers Kodiak retirement last October before changing his mind. Jones will turn 40 in April, yet now firmly believes there is another season left in the old tendons."As it sits now, I still intend to play next year," he said. "I still feel I can help this club time to time. I'm not what I once was, but I'm better than any third baseman in Atlanta."Jones has been exchanging emails with another ailing, impatient third baseman, Alex Rodriguez. Both players had similar surgical procedures performed on their knees, though Jones is slightly ahead of Rodriguez's rehab schedule."I emailed him that I just struck out in A-ball and made some minor league pitcher's career," Jones said.When Rodriguez wondered why Jones was already playing games, Jones fired back, "I just got better genes than you."Actually, Jones warned A-Rod not to hurry his comeback. Jones may have returned too soon, possibly causing his quad problem. He is playing trainer and general manager, too, telling the Mets they'd better re-sign Jose Reyes for this pitcher's park."He can hit it in the gaps and run forever," Jones said.Jones didn't always need to run fast at Shea. Loping around the bases was often sufficient.

Russell, new head of the investigative team on CBS' long-running "CSI.""One day I'm up doudoune homme pas chere on Martha's Vineyard, looking out at the ocean and whistling," Danson told TV reporters here. "Then suddenly, I'm in Vegas seeing my first autopsy. A real autopsy."But he said this role, in which Danson effectively replaces Laurence Fishburne, marks a logical step in a career where many people still know him best as the bartender on the sitcom "Cheers."Over the last couple of years,veste parajumpers, he has taken different turns, though, playing the shadowy Arthur Frobischer opposite Glenn Close on "Damages" and taking a recurring role in the dark cable comedy "Bored to Death."He wasn't necessarily looking to parlay all this into a dramatic doudoune pjs role on a network series, but he says it fits."I've gone from being a gentleman actor to being really plunged into this," says Danson, who so far has completed only his first episode. "But in a funny way, even though I'm not just doing jokes, I feel very doudoune parajumpers boutique much at home."As it happens, Danson's arrival coincides with what executive producer Carol Mendelsohn says will be "a lighter tone" for "CSI" this season.All things being relative.Last season, she notes, Fishburne's character had a very dark, serial-killer story line. That's ended now, so the producers decided this season would have "a little more humor. Of course, there will also still be dead doudoune parajumpers occasion bodies every week."In contrast to most previous bosses, Danson's Russell will not be an obsessive with no other life."He's a guy," says Mendelsohn, "who has somehow managed to balance his job, his life,veste parajumpers, a wife and kids."Danson says that balance appeals to him,doudoune parajumper, and in a short excerpt shown here Wednesday, he has a scene with a young possible murder witness that takes an almost playful turn.Russell's arrival also shakes up the "CSI" team, among other things bumping Marg Helgenberger's Catherine Willows out of her leadership spot."So there's a little tension," said Helgenberger, "but she's fascinated by Russell. He gets under her skin, and everyone's, in a good way."Helgenberger, an original cast member, acknowledged she had planned to leave the show after last season, its 11th, but decided to return for one more."There were still things I wanted to do with the character," she said.While "CSI" has slipped from the days when it was No. 1, it still has a strong following and does exceptionally well overseas.Mendelsohn was asked Wednesday if she expects it to Doudoune Parajumpers Gobi last longer than "Law & Order," which ran 20 seasons. After joking that Danson had signed doudoune parajumpers homme a 12-year deal, she said: "Yes."dhinckley@nydailynews.com

(CNSNews.com) - Strong retail sales figures and encouraging comments from the chairman of the Federal Reserve regarding the impact of oil prices on the economy boosted the markets on Friday, but it wasn't enough to prevent all three major indexes from losing ground Doudoune Parajumper Right Hand for the week.The Dow Jones industrial average gained 38.93 points to reach 9,933.98,Doudoune Parajumpers Adirondack, down 121.82 points over the past five days. The Nasdaq Composite index advanced 8.48 points to 1,911.50, off 8.47 points since last Friday,pjs doudoune, Doudoune Parajumpers Arches and the Standard & Poor's 500 index climbed 4.91 points to 1,108.20, down 13.94 points for the week.Investors who had been waiting for good economic news finally got it on Friday, when the Commerce Department reported that retail sales leaped 1.5 percent in September, much more than the 0.6 percent increase forecast by economists.In addition, the Labor Department said that wholesale prices, as measured by the Producer Price Index, rose only 0.1 percent in September. While this was up Doudoune Parajumpers Denali from the 0.1 percent decline in August, the increase was small enough to assure traders that inflation will not be a problem anytime soon.The final ingredient in Friday's rally came in the form of reassuring words from Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who said surging energy costs will have less of an Doudoune Parajumpers Denali impact on the economy than they did during the energy crisis of the 1970s. This comment joined a slight drop in crude oil prices to calm investors' worries ... at least for the day.However, not everyone shared Greenspan's optimism on oil costs and the economy."It's nice to see a bit of a rebound today, but it's not convincing in any manner," Michael Palazzi,Doudoune Parajumpers Gobi, managing director of equity trading at veste parajumpers SG Cowen Securities, told the Associated Press. "We're not going anywhere meaningful until the price of oil comes down. It's basically Parajumpers en vente choking us."Overseas trading ended the week on a mostly negative note. Japan's Nikkei stock average, Britain's FTSE 100 and Germany's DAX index all lost ground, though France's CAC-40 was able to realize slight gains in Friday's session.Send a Letter to the Editor about this article.

Oliver and Leo Kremer have spent their lives studying burritos. Not in a culinary school, per se, but on their own adventures growing up in the Bay Area Doudoune Parajumper Right Hand of California. And although the brothers tried to satisfy their cravings when they moved to New York, they found it hard to find a West Coast-style 'rito they enjoyed. "The lack of high quality burritos was shocking to us. A total mystery. Especially because this is New York City!" says Leo. "It seemed like taquerias were just skipping crucial steps for no good reason ― why no foil? Why so little guacamole? Why white rice? It made us worry, because we figured there must be something extra difficult about making great burritos here, something that we hadn't thought of. But that wasn't Doudoune Parajumpers Arches the case."So the two took it upon themselves to open Dos Toros, first in Union Square, and most recently on Carmine St. in the West Village, where New York burrito lovers can get their fill of California-style pollo asado tacos, carnitas quesadillas and, of course, burritos."You can't point to any one specific element. God is in the details," explains Leo. "A burrito has so many components, and any one recipe or technique being done incorrectly will throw off the Doudoune Parajumpers Angie whole thing. You simply can't cut any corners. When it all comes together properly, it's symphonic."The brothers don't like sharing many secrets of the restaurant ― their hot sauce, for example, is for the brothers to know, and us to guess about. They did, however, give us an inside look on how to roll like a pro.According to OliverStep 1: Find yourself the freshest and thinnest flour tortilla that you can, and melt some Monterey Jack cheese onto it. Step 2: Cook up some fluffy red rice, soft and succulent beans, make a very straightforward pico de gallo (chopped tomato,doudoune parajumpers homme, white onion, and chilies). Step 3: Use ripe avocados from California or Mexico, if you can, to whip up some guacamole. Add onions,Doudoune Parajumpers Denali, tomatoes, cilantro to your liking. Step 4: Grill up some tasty skirt steak. Step 5: Lay your precious cargo on the tortilla. The trick is to have parajumpers pas cher everything distributed lengthwise down the burrito, co-mingling the ingredients, ensuring proper integration. This also helps with structural integrity. We didn't spend 16 years studying burrito architecture for nothing.Step 6: Fold the sides of the tortilla in,doudoune parajumpers homme, then bring the back lip up and over the top, pull back, and roll forward nice and tight. This is much tricker than it sounds. It helps to pretend that you doudoune homme pas chere are swaddling a baby. You don't want a burrito explosion any more than you want a baby explosion. Now wrap it all up in foil.Step 7: You hear that? That's the sound of forbidden love. Fasten your seatbelt, blouson parajumpers it's go time.

A new bill in the state Legislature would make college life easier for undocumented immigrant parajumpers homme students - giving them benefits like financial aid and driver's licenses. Unlike the federal DREAM Act that died in the Senate last year, the doudoune parajumper Albany bill wouldn't provide a path to citizenship - but advocates say it would be life-changing for the more than 10,000 undocumented kids who graduate New York high schools each year. "If this passes I know it won't grant me legal status in this country, but it will definitely give me some sort of light into the darkness I'm living in," said Tony Bravo,Doudoune Parajumpers Denali, 22, a John Jay College sophomore brought to Brooklyn from veste parajumpers Mexico as an infant. The legal studies major - ineligible for federal or state financial aid - works two jobs to pay $2,600 in tuition and books each semester. The version of the bill introduced this doudoune parajumpers femme pas cher week by state Sen. Bill Perkins and co-sponsored by state Sen. Dan Squadron (D-Brooklyn) would give kids brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents access to state financial aid, the ability to work legally in New York, a driver's license or state ID card, and access to health care. "We want to help fulfill the American Dream for young immigrants,doudoune pjs," said Perkins (D-Harlem). Assemblyman Guillermo Linares (D-Washington Heights) is slated to introduce an Assembly version,parajumpers doudoune, Perkins said. The bill was introduced after a massive lobbying effort by young immigrants. "We wanted to say that our dreams are not dead," said Tania Mattos, 27, an organizer with the New York parajumpers femme State Youth Leadership Council. Students would have to apply for the benefits before they turn 35 and have come to the pjs doudoune U.S. before age 16. A felony conviction would bar them. The other requirements are either two years in college, two years in the New York National Guard or completing almost 1,000 hours of community service. epearson@nydailynews.com
