Obama chose the University of Miami for his speech

Gas prices have risen 29 cents per gallon since December, with regular-grade gas now averaging $3.64 a gallon in the Washington region at a time of year when consumers usually enjoy a respite from price hikes.

The high cost at the pump could turn into an election-year mess for the president, whose approval ratings have surged recently as the economy improved. Republicans, sensing an opportunity, have blamed Obama for not giving oil companies greater freedom to drill for new U.S. supplies that might ease prices.

The political dynamics are muddied by the Iran factor. In their debate Wednesday, the leading GOP presidential candidates vowed to prevent Iran from acquiring burberry bags a nuclear weapon. Yet the rise in oil prices recently has been augmented by the tightening of U.S. and European sanctions on Iran and its oil exports.

Some Democrats are also urging Obama, who has pressured other nations to curtail purchases of Iranian oil, to protect consumers by releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, as he did during the Libyan conflict last summer. Most presidents are reluctant to tap the reserve without a dire emergency, and many experts believed the release last year had a fleeting impact on gas prices.

The recent climb in pump prices resembles the 2008 oil spike, when, as a presidential candidate, Obama used the increase to rally support for a renewable-energy agenda. Since then, oil prices have collapsed with the economy and then soared again with the recovery. U.S. oil and gas production has begun increasing substantially for the first time in more than two decades. But the United States still imports about half of its petroleum needs.

In an appearance Thursday at the University of Miami, where he toured an engineering program for energy efficiency, Obama told a crowd of hundreds of students that his GOP rivals who are pledging to slash prices are “rooting for bad news” to win political points.

“Since it’s an election year, they’re already dusting off their three-point plans for $2 gas. I’ll save you the suspense: Step one is drill, step two is drill, and step three is keep drilling,” Obama said. “Well, the American people aren’t stupid. You know that’s not a plan. . . . It’s a strategy to get politicians through an election. You know there are no quick fixes to this problem, and you know we can’t just drill our to lower prices.”

Obama argued that his “all of the above” energy policy — promoting increased domestic production, improved fuel-efficiency standards for vehicles and greater investment in clean energy innovation — is the smartest way to insulate the United States from the vagaries of the global www.fashiontoy.com oil market.

“There is no silver bullet. There never has been,” Obama said. “It’s the easiest thing in the world to make phony election-year promises about lower gas prices.”

Many oil experts say Obama has altered his tone since 2008. “There has been an evolution in his energy thinking,” said Frank A. Verrastro, director of the energy program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “He can still pick up the transformative, clean, green theme, but there is a recognition that oil and gas has been a big economic driver.”

Obama’s position reflects the White House’s belief that gasoline prices are subject to cyclical spikes due to forces largely outside its control, including the rise in Chinese and Indian oil demand.

That view hasn’t stopped Obama’s rivals from trying to exploit the matter on the campaign trail. This week, GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum blamed Obama’s “radical environmental policies” for the higher prices, suggesting Obama purposely aims to keep prices high to stave off global warming by discouraging people from driving. Newt Gingrich said the president “has been outrageously anti-American-energy.”

And the Republican National Committee released a Web video Thursday that features a clip of Obama’s impromptu singing of “Sweet Home Chicago” during a White House blues concert behind a chart showing gas prices rising from $1.85 per gallon when he took office in 2009 to $3.59 this month. The ad is titled “Obama’s Got America Singing the Blues.”

Domestic oil and gas companies also are unhappy. Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute, said Wednesday that Obama’s corporate tax reform plan, which proposes cuts in tax breaks for oil and natural gas companies, would dampen domestic production.

Gerard cited the Obama administration’s rejection of the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline, which would have carried oil from Canada to refineries in Texas, as evidence that burberry sunglasses the White House is more interested in placating environmentalists.

“When the president talks about ‘all of the above’ to describe his policy, unfortunately he leaves out the oil and natural gas industry,” Gerard said. “If you look at the policies he’s advanced for oil and natural gas, everything has been done to discourage domestic production.”

But energy experts say many Republican proposals, such as building the Keystone pipeline, would have little near-term impact on gasoline prices. Companies producing in Canada’s oil sands area and pipeline companies say that there is enough spare pipeline capacity to last until 2016, or longer.

The Obama administration notes that domestic production has increased every year the president has been in office. During his State of the Union speech last month, Obama said American oil production “is the highest that it’s been in eight years.”

On Thursday, he reiterated calls for new investments in clean energy innovation.

Administration officials said Obama plans to highlight other accomplishments Friday, including an historic fuel efficiency standards agreement reached last summer with the auto industry that would require cars to average 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, which the administration estimates will save 12 billion barrels of oil.

Obama chose the University of Miami for his speech because it offers an industrial energy-efficiency program for engineers. He also planned to hold four fundraisers in Miami and Orlando after his appearance.

Jay Hakes, who worked on energy policy in the Carter and Clinton administrations, has studied how past administrations have responded to gas price hikes. While oil output has boosted by policies put in place before Obama took office, Hakes said, “I do not know how www.buymyfavorite.com you could make the point that he somehow restrained production when both onshore and offshore [output] have a lot of momentum behind them.”

While the agreement specifically applies to enforcement

Ms. Harris said Wednesday that Apple Inc., Google Inc., Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and Research In Motion Ltd. agreed that Burberry Bags California law requires apps to have privacy policies, and that they would begin asking app developers who collect personal information to include them.

Currently, Ms. Harris said, some 22 of the 30 most-downloaded mobile apps don't have privacy policies. "We have populations without knowledge of [mobile technology's] potential uses who are potentially vulnerable," she said; "We seek to give them tools to protect themselves."

While the agreement specifically applies to enforcement of a 2004 California law requiring privacy policies, it will benefit "users everywhere," she added. Previously, California law has been used to require privacy policies from websites, but it was unclear if it applied to apps.

California's deal with the companies stops short of saying that they will enforce privacy-policy requirements or kick apps that don't have a policy out of their stores. The state is responsible for enforcing the law, but the companies agreed they would help educate developers on their legal obligations.

Ms. Harris said that the companies were participating voluntarily in "good faith" with the effort, and that they planned to meet again in six months to see how the effort was progressing.

A Google spokesman declined to say how the company would enforce the rules on its Android-smartphone app store. In a statement, he said, "From the beginning, Android has had an industry-leading permissions system which informs consumers what data an app can access and requires user approval before installation. Coupled with the announced principles, which we expect to complete in the coming weeks, consumers will have even more ways to make informed decisions when it comes to their privacy."

A Research In Motion spokeswoman said: "We're looking forward to working with the attorney general of California and the application-developer community to further build out the necessary tools that will help facilitate the ability of our application developers to bring greater user awareness of their privacy policies and practices."

An Apple spokesman confirmed the company's participation in the agreement, but declined to comment further. An Amazon spokeswoman declined to comment. H-P cheap burberry bags didn't respond to requests for comment.

"We are pleased to endorse the statement of principles and to support the work of Attorney General Harris," said a Microsoft spokeswoman.

Most consumers don't read website privacy policies, which often contain vague legal language designed to be as broad as possible to shield companies, rather than to specify exactly what information is being collected.

In an interview, Ms. Harris said thatshe agreed most privacy policies are "absolutely beyond the understanding of the average person," but that the six companies agreed in principle that app privacy policies "are going to be more clear and understandable."She said simply requiring privacy policies would force app developers to think about what information they are requiring from consumers—and why. Moreover, she said, the policies would give her office the ability to prosecute app makers that took or used consumer information in ways that ran counter to them.

"It is important that it creates a hook for enforcement that did not exist before, which is the only hook that typically exists for privacy enforcement in this country," said Justin Brookman, the director of consumer privacy at the Center for Democracy & Technology in Washington.

A study of 101 popular apps that was part of The Wall Street Journal's "What They Know" series in late 2010 found that 56 of them transmitted the phone's unique device ID to other companies without users' awareness or consent. Forty-seven apps transmitted the phone's location in some way, while five sent age, gender and other personal details to outsiders.

Last week, the Federal Trade Commission published a working document that urged developers of mobile apps for children to provide more information on data collection and said it plans to review whether apps violate child privacy laws.

Separately on Wednesday, 36 attorneys general, including California's Ms. Harris, sent an open letter to Google protesting its new privacy policy, set to take effect in March. In the letter, they said the policy "appears to invade consumer privacy by automatically sharing personal information consumers input into one Google product with all Google products."

The letter asks for Google to respond by Feb. 29.

The Google spokesman said its updated privacy policy will make its privacy practices "easier to understand" and reflects its desire to create a "seamless Burberry Outlet experience" for signed-in users. We've undertaken the most extensive notification effort in Google's history, and we're continuing to offer choice and control over how people use our services. Of course we are happy to discuss this approach with regulators globally.

We had to figure out how to work in tune

Despite injuries to Billups, mega acquisition Chris Paul and reserve guards Mo Williams and Eric Bledsoe that total 31 games lost, the Clippers are in second gucci 2012 place in the Western Conference at 15-7 entering today's game at the Cleveland Cavaliers— and outshining their Staples Center co-tenants, the sixth-place Los Angeles Lakers (14-11).

And just like the Lakers, the Clippers will send two starters to the All-Star Game on Feb. 26: Paul (third in assists) and forward Blake Griffin (second in dunks, according to cbssports.com), the Lob City tandem.

"We all know each other's game. We had to figure out how to work in tune with everybody else," said Paul, who has led the team to wins in six of the eight games since his return from having a strained hamstring.

The Clippers' last winning season was 2005-06 — one of only two since the move from San Diego for 1984-85. The team needed 40 games last season to reach 15 wins. But that was before the injection of talent and spirit that Paul provides, with the muscle from Griffin and improved young center DeAndre Jordan.

"We haven't been together that long," coach Vinny Del Negro said Tuesday of newcomers Billups, Paul, forward Reggie Evans and forward Kenyon Martin, the latest pickup after his autumn of basketball in the Chinese professional league. "Every day you have to re-evaluate. There's very little practice time. But you can't make excuses."

Without Billups, Del Negro expects his team's identity to shift. "All the things like Chauncey brings … we've got to weather the storm here, move forward and get better."

Williams, who was a starter for the Clippers last gucci outlet cheap 2012 season, will continue to come off the bench. "Mo gives us more of an offensive punch with the second unit," Del Negro said.

Billups, however, is a major loss in the locker room. He was a big reason that Martin decided to sign in Los Angeles. And when Williams was disgruntled with his dwindling playing time, it was Billups who kept him focused.

"I've had some conversations with Mo that only me and him talk about. It's just about being professional and knowing that the situation is something we can all benefit from no matter what role we want to be in or not," Billups said last weekend. "We've got a chance to be a good basketball team. At the end of the day that's all that matters."

The Clippers have won their last four road games, including at the Orlando Magic on Monday to end the NBA's longest active losing streak to a team at nine. They're in the middle of a six-game road stretch with the Grammys taking over Staples and have a key test Thursday against the Atlantic Division-leading Philadelphia 76ers.

"We've got guys who are battle-tested," Paul said after the Magic victory. "This shows how much grit and fight we have. We realize if we stick together in a tough environment like this, we are capable of winning games like this."Gucci women shoes, cheap gucci sneakers boots for women outlet 2012.

Neil Olshey, Clippers general manager and vice president of basketball operations, wrote via text: "We're only a 3rd of the way through the season but we are pleased with the progress we have made to this point."

Brady won his first 10 post-season games

The next time he puts on his New England Patriots uniform, he hopes to start another, more successful, run toward the NFL championship.

"I'll keep coming to this game and keep gucci 2012 trying," the quarterback said. "I'd rather come to this game and lose than not get here."

He and the Patriots have been there five times in the last 11 years. But their 21-17 loss on Sunday night was their second straight to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.

Brady won his first 10 post-season games — and three Super Bowls — with the Patriots. Since then they're 6-6 in the post-season with a seven-year drought since their last championship.

Now what?

Some of the biggest issues facing the Patriots this off-season is whether to re-sign Wes Welker, who to take with their two draft choices in the first round and two in the second and how to build a mediocre defence and an inconsistent running game.

Welker led the NFL with 122 receptions but dropped a pass, a bit off target, with about four minutes left that would have put the Patriots at about the Giants 20-yard line with a 17-15 lead. Team owner Robert Kraft wants him back and Brady said, "He's a phenomenal player and teammate and I love that guy."

Welker is likely to return.

He would have a different offensive co-ordinator. Josh McDaniels, who held that position from 2006-08, rejoined the team as an offensive assistant for the playoffs after serving in that spot with the St. Louis Rams. He replaces Bill O'Brien, who left to succeed Joe Paterno as head coach at Penn State.

More immediately, Belichick will focus on the NFL Scouting Combine for college players from Feb. 22-28 at Lucas Oil Stadium, site of Sunday's loss. With four picks in the top two rounds, barring trades, the Patriots could have another solid draft.

In 2008 they added linebacker Jerod Mayo. The next year they drafted safety Patrick Chung, tackle Sebastian Vollmer and wide receiver Julian Edelman. In 2010, they had a terrific draft with cornerback Devin McCourty, tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, linebacker Brandon Spikes and punter Zoltan Mesko.

And in 2011, they drafted tackle Nate Solder and promising running back Stevan Ridley.

"The combine is in two and a half weeks," coach gucci outlet cheap 2012 Bill Belichick said Monday after returning to Foxborough, Mass. "I'm sure there will be [a] lot of things on the agenda between now and then so we'll just take them as they come. For right now, we're just kind of collecting our thoughts and we'll figure it out in due course."

The Patriots didn't look like Super Bowl contenders in the first half of the season. They went 5-3 and had given up the most yards in the NFL at midseason.

Then they won their next eight games, plus two in the playoffs, as Gronkowski turned into an All-Pro and the defence improved.

But they barely got past the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game, winning 23-20 as rookie free agent Sterling Moore stripped a potential touchdown pass from the hands of Lee Evans in the end zone. Two plays later, Billy Cundiff hooked a 32-yard field goal with 11 seconds left.

That got the Patriots to the Super Bowl where Brady, who has struggled in playoff games the past three seasons, was outplayed by Eli Manning.

"We always have confidence in our quarterback," Patriots wide receiver Deion Branch said.

But Brady needs a deep threat to open up the field. And he needs a more productive running game than BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead provide. Ridley, who showed flashes of power and speed in limited playing time, gained 441 yards in 87 carries, a team-best average of 5.1.

The defence needs the most work.

Its pass rush was shaky, especially after sacks leader Andre Carter suffered a season-ending quadriceps injury in the 14th game. The linebacking was solid. But the secondary never got stabilized because of injuries and poor play. Belichick brought in and cut several free agents. He even used McCourty, whose play dropped off after he made the Pro Bowl as a rookie last season, at safety.

Chung, the signal-caller in the secondary, is determined that the defence will improve.

"We fought hard" in the Super Bowl, he said. "We know the taste and we don't like the taste, so we're going to keep working [this] off-season to try to get back here next year."Gucci women shoes, cheap gucci sneakers boots for women outlet 2012.

Guard Logan Mankins, 0-2 in Super Bowls, has the same goal.

"I've lost a lot of games in my career, but nothing hurts like losing the Super Bowl," he said. "It's pretty gut-wrenching."

The Rangers beat the Flyers for the fourth consecutive time

Artem Anisimov broke a 17-game pointless streak and Henrik Lundqvist made 21 saves to stymie the Flyers as the Rangers beat Philadelphia 5-2 in a fight-filled cheap burberry outlet 2012 contest which concluded three hours before the Super Bowl kickoff between the Giants and New England Patriots.

The Rangers beat the Flyers for the fourth consecutive time this season and sixth in a row overall. Marian Gaborik, Michael Del Zotto, Brandon Dubinsky and Ruslan Fedotenko also scored for Eastern Conference-leading New York.

"I think we know how important these games are," said Gaborik, who scored his team-leading 26th goal of the season with five seconds left in the second period. "We have played very well against them this year and this game was one of them."

Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds scored for the Flyers, which lost for the third time in four games. It was their first game against the Rangers since the Winter Classic in Philadelphia on Jan. 2.

"Our team could play better than we did," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. "It's just frustrating. We had an opportunity to win a game and we didn't."

Lundqvist's career-best shutout streak ended at 182 minutes, 37 seconds when Schenn scored in the second period, but the All-Star goaltender still improved to 24-14-4 on the season as fans at the Garden serenaded the Flyers with chants of "You can't beat us" as time elapsed.

"Any time you can beat such a skilled team, it's a great feeling," Lundqvist said. "The fans were ready to go and everybody was excited to play Philly."

Philadelphia was playing its fourth game in six days and the final of a weekend back-to-back. The Flyers lost 6-4 at home against New Jersey on Saturday.

"We just have to keep working, be more lucky and win the next game," Flyers goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov said. "We didn't deliver today."Burberry bags, cheap burberry handbags outlet, buy 2012 burberry purse.

Anisimov opened the scoring at 1:04 of the first period. He also assisted on Gaborik's second-period goal and Del Zotto's go-ahead score at 1:33 of the third, which came 36 seconds after Simmonds tied it at 2. Dubinsky added an insurance goal at 12:15 and Fedotenko had an empty-netter at 18:44.

The Rangers are 16-4-1 in their last 21 games. Physical play, dynamic penalty killing and strong goaltending have led their surge. They've allowed a league-best 102 goals through 50 games.

"We are a sum of parts, that's how we play and that's the only way we can win," Rangers coach John Tortorella said. "That's the way we have to play and when another team joins in, it mounts."

Gaborik's goal — moments after he lay stunned on the ice behind the Flyers net following a hard check — put the Rangers ahead 2-1. Gaborik got up and slipped a backhand past Bryzgalov after defenseman Andrej Meszaros had leveled him with the hit.

Anisimov's goal was his eighth of the season and came on a tip in of Dan Girardi's slap shot. Anisimov's previous point had been an assist Dec. 22 against the New York Islanders.

"I enjoy every shift on the ice," the soft-spoken Anisimov said. "It was a huge game for us. Every game is important."

Schenn tied it on a picture-perfect breakaway goal at 12:02 of the second. Just out of the penalty box, the 20-year-old center took a pass from Jakub Voracek and beat Lundqvist by lifting a backhand over his glove hand.

The game was feisty as usual between the two rivals, who had the weeks leading up the Winter Classic chronicled by the cable network HBO.

Rangers defenseman Stu Bickel fought Simmonds in the first period and Tom Sestito in the second. Sestito also fought Dubinsky in the first and Brandon Prust in the third. Sestito was given an automatic game misconduct after his third fight.

"We were ready to play right from the start," Bickel said.

The teams meet in Philadelphia on Feb. 11 and April 3.

Lundqvist's shutout streak went back to the 19:11 mark of the second period Jan. 21 at Boston. The Swedish goaltender recorded consecutive shutouts for first moncler time in his career with wins over Winnipeg Jan. 24 and Buffalo last Wednesday.

As far as Super Bowl plans, Lundqvist's were aligned with most of the football-frenzied New York population.

"I'll be watching with a buddy who is a huge Giants fan and I'll be eating a lot of food," the winning goaltender said.

Anton Volchenkov, Dainius Zubrus, Zach Parise and David Clarkson also scored for the Devils, who remained perfect since the All Star break while equaling their season-best win streak. Kovalchuk has been the key to the surge with three goals and seven assists in the four games.

Kovalchuk has three goals and seven assists during the Devils' winning streak.

"He's a heart and soul guy," Clarkson said. "He flies out there. He's always been a guy who finds the net and makes plays. He's a positive guy in the room, whether we're winning or losing. It's great to see him doing well, and that's why we're doing well."

Martin Brodeur made 28 saves to improve to 11-2 in his last 13 decisions against Pittsburgh. He also got an assist on Clarkson's empty-net score in the closing seconds.

Matt Niskanen and Evgeni Malkin scored for the Penguins, who had won nine of 10.

Canadiens 3, Jets 0

MONTREAL (AP) — Carey Price made 23 saves moncler jackets for his third shutout of the season, Tomas Plekanec had a goal and an assist and the Canadiens ended a three-game losing streak.

Call it Bed bug-gate

Welcome to gucci outlet shop, all gucci bags and gucci shoes 2012 new arrivals are on cheap sale. Save up to 70% off! Call it Bed bug-gate.

The University of Nebraska Lincoln is accused of covering up a bedbug infestation, but the school claims the whole situation is a misunderstanding.

Keith Zaborowski, associate director of residence life, told the Lincoln Journal Star that the Housing Department thought a student had reported a dead bedbug in her dorm room.

But the student said she had bites on her neck and found at least one living bed bug in her room.

"I find it surprising they would say a single dead bedbug," Amanda Wekesser, a 23-year-old meteorology student told the Star. "As far as I know, dead bedbugs don't bite."

Wekesser told the paper she wanted hold a meeting to inform dorm residents about a possible infestation, but a resident director denied her request. According to Wekesser, the director then told her to put a sign on her door saying her room was being remodeled while it was being cleaned and checked for bugs gucci outlet.

But the school claims there was no attempt to cover up anything.


"Nobody was trying to keep anything from anybody, and nobody was lied to," university spokesperson Kelly Bartling told the Star.

All told, 26 student rooms and eight common areas were found to be infested with bed bugs.

The school newspaper, the Daily Nebraskan, has since accused university housing officials of withholding information and releasing reports that downplayed the severity of the infestation gucci shoes.

The news was first reported by The Dallas Morning News earlier Thursday

The Rangers said through a team spokesman that they are "aware of a situation but have no further comment at this time."Cheap burberry - designer bags, shoes, accessories, clothing outlet 2012.

The news was first reported by The Dallas Morning News earlier Thursday.

It's unclear exactly what happened, but Hamilton has attempted to stay sober since an incident in a Tempe, Ariz., bar a little more than three years ago.

Then, he was photographed drinking with several women and those pictures went viral about seven months later. Hamilton spoke to the media about it at that time and apologized, saying: "I hate that this happened."

When that occurred, Hamilton immediately called the Rangers and MLB. He passed a drug test shortly thereafter and went through league-sanctioned counseling. Hamilton also made sure his support system was fully in place, including having Johnny Narron, his "accountability partner" at the time, with him at spring training and through the rest of the season.Burberry watches, designer burberry watch cheap outlet 2012.

Right now, Hamilton and the Rangers are still in the process of finding a new "accountability partner" after Narron took the job as the Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach. Hamilton's father-in-law, Michael Dean Chadwick, was planning on taking over that role for Narron but didn't want to leave his teenage daughter as she gets closer to finishing high school.

The Rangers have expressed an interest in signing Hamilton to a long-term extension, though both sides agreed that if a deal wasn't in place by the time spring training starts later this month that they wouldn't talk during the season to avoid any kind of distraction.

The 2010 AL MVP has worked to avoid even the smell of alcohol, something his teammates have respected. They have even catered their postseason celebrations for him (and former teammate C.J. Wilson who also didn't want to be around alcohol) by having Ginger Ale and water showers before breaking out the champagne after winning a playoff series.

Hamilton said in Aug. 2009, when discussing his last relapse, that it was the first drink he'd had since Oct. 6, 2005, when he vowed to stay sober. Drugs and alcohol helped delay Hamilton's track to the big leagues and despite being the No. 1 overall draft pick in 1999 by the Tampa Bay Rays, he didn't make his major league debut until 2007 with the Cincinnati Reds.

The Rangers traded for Hamilton prior to the 2008 season, cheap moncler vest sending right-handed pitcher Edinson Volquez and left-handed pitcher Danny Ray Herrera to the Reds for the outfielder.

A league MVP at 22, Derrick Rose is still young enough at 23 to get a kick out of being selected to the All-Star Game.

Rose was named a starter for the Eastern Conference team Thursday — his third consecutive All-Star selection in his four-year career and second consecutive start. He was the second-leading vote-getter on the Eastern Conference team behind Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard and third overall behind the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant.

“It means a lot, especially from our fans to vote for me,’’ said Rose. “I didn’t [realize] that I had all those votes. It shows a lot. I don’t take anything for granted. I’m appreciative of every one of my fans that went online and voted for me.”

The All-Star Game will be played on Feb. 26 in Orlando. Reserves, who are voted on by the 30 NBA head coaches, will be announced Feb. 9.

Rose will be joined in the starting lineup moncler jackets by Howard, the Heat’s LeBron James and Dwyane Wade (1,334,223) and the Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony.

The West starters are Bryant, Oklahoma City’s Kevin Duran, the Clippers’ Chris Paul and Blake Griffin and the Lakers’ Andrew Bynum.

We are not calling for a military intervention

Arab and Western states urged the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday at act swiftly on a resolution calling for Assad cheap burberry outlet 2012 to step aside.

The United States strongly backed the call by the Arab League and Qatar for "rapid and decisive action", which came as Assad's government forces reasserted control of Damascus suburbs after beating back rebels at the gates of the capital.

"China is firmly opposed to the use of force to solve the Syrian problem and resolutely opposes pushing for forced regime change in Syria, as it violates the United Nations Charter and the basic norms guiding the practice of international relations," Xinhua quoted Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations Li Baodong as saying to the Security Council.

The brief news report from Xinhua did not give other details.

China, along with Russia, has resisted a Western push for a Security Council resolution condemning the Syrian government's 10-month crackdown on pro-reform protests.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said they would not support any action that would be imposed on Syria and would avoid taking sides in an internal conflict.

"The international community unfortunately did take sides in Libya and we would never allow the Security Council to authorize anything similar to what happened in Libya," Lavrov said in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

"Yes, we condemn strongly the use of force by government forces against civilians, but we can condemn in the same strong way the activities of the armed extremist groups who attack government positions, who attack administration in various provinces of Syria, who attack a police station and who terrorize people telling them not to come to jobs, not to come to hospitals, not to come to shops."

"KILLING MACHINE STILL AT WORK"

China and Russia have prevented the Security Council from approving any military intervention in Syria and vetoed a Western-backed resolution against Assad's government.Burberry bags, cheap burberry handbags outlet, buy 2012 burberry purse.

Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby called on the council to take "rapid and decisive action" by approving the resolution. Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani warned that Syria's "killing machine is still at work."

"Do not let the Syrian people down in its plight," Elaraby said.

Syrian U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari rejected the suggestion his government was responsible for the crisis, and accused Western powers of dreaming of "the return of colonialism and hegemony" in the Middle East.

Elaraby said Arab nations wanted to avoid foreign military intervention in the Syrian crisis, which has killed more than 5,000 civilians according to U.N. Qatari leader Sheikh Hamad emphasized the same point and suggested the council should use economic leverage instead.

"We are not calling for a military intervention," Sheikh Hamad said. "We are advocating the exertion of a concrete economic pressure so that the Syrian regime might realize that it is imperative to meet the demands of its people."

Lavrov said the policy of isolation and moncler seeking regime change risked igniting a "much bigger drama" in the Middle East.

"The people who are obsessed with removing regimes in the region, they should be really thinking about the broader picture. And I'm afraid that if this vigor to change regimes persists, we are going to witness a very bad situation much, much, much broader than just Syria, Libya, Egypt or any other single country."

Beijing, which generally avoids taking action in the domestic affairs of other nations, has played a low-key role in the turmoil that has swept the Middle East and North Africa.

But it has also moved swiftly to normalize ties with governments that have been overthrown by popular revolts, such as in Libya.

Clinton told the Security Council on Tuesday the rest of the world faced a choice to "stand with the people of Syria and the region or become complicit in the continuing violence there".

"The evidence is clear that Assad's forces are initiating nearly all the attacks that kill civilians, but as more citizens moncler jackets take up arms to resist the regime's brutality, violence is increasingly likely to spiral out of control," she said.

It also could stand as their only victory for a while

Gov. Mitch Daniels’ signature Wednesday on the bill that made Indiana the nation’s 23rd right-to-work state was the end of a contentious two-year political battle that included partisan bickering, lawmaker walkouts, legislative stall tactics and union protests. In the end, Indiana marked the first win for national right-to-work supporters who tried in vain last year to push the measure despite a Republican sweep of statehouses nationwide in 2010. Welcome to gucci outlet shop, all gucci bags and gucci shoes 2012 new arrivals are on cheap sale. Save up to 70% off!

It also could stand as their only victory for a while, based on a mix of obstacles that have spurned advocates in other states stretching from New Hampshire to Minnesota. The very factors that made Indiana’s right-to-work campaign uniquely successful — large state House and Senate majorities and Daniels’ ability to clear one last run for governor in 2008 before mounting a unified push for the measure — also could undermine similar efforts elsewhere.

National Right to Work Committee Vice President Greg Mourad says two major obstacles have blocked his group’s progress: governors who oppose right-to-work and pro-union Republicans in state legislatures. But much of that could change in 2012 depending on how some key state elections pan out.

“The next election should tell us quite a bit,” Mourad said Wednesday afternoon.

In New Hampshire, right-to-work supporters found themselves unable to overturn a veto from Democratic Gov. John Lynch last year. Lynch is not running for re-election in November and the New Hampshire governor’s office has often been traded between Democrats and Republicans in the last few decades. Gucci outlet, gucci bags, cheap gucci shoes 2012 sale.

Likewise in Montana, Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer is term-limited against seeking re-election in November. His veto threat has stalled efforts there, Mourad said.

However in other Rust Belt states, right-to-work advocates have run up against squeamish Republicans who don’t want to pick fights with private sector unions whose influence has waned with the decline of American manufacturing, but not to a point where they are no longer a clear political threat.

Michigan’s Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, who is up for re-election in 2014, has called right-to-work “too divisive” and Michigan’s Republican Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville said last week he doubted right-to-work would bring the economic benefits promised by supporters.

Experts say many factors influence states’ economies and that it’s nearly impossible to isolate the impact of right to work. For major industries, access to supplies, infrastructure, key markets and a skilled workforce are key factors, according to business recruitment specialists. For a state’s workers, the impact of right-to-work legislation is limited because only about 7 percent of private sector employees are unionized. Over the years, job growth has surged in states with, and without, right-to-work laws gucci shoes.
