Shepard informed Bell that her present had arrived

Oh, Kristen Bell, where do we begin with you and the sloth? In a showcase of the adorable, the absurd and the so insanely funny, cheap burberry the actress revealed to Ellen DeGeneres that her fiancé Dax Shepard really outdid himself with her latest birthday gift. For her 31st birthday this summer, Dax declared that he would give his lady "something no one else will ever get in their lifetime." But this gift wound up being something we all can share. On the big day, Shepard informed Bell that her present had arrived and she should sequester herself for the reveal. "I immediately was overcome and I thought, 'There's a sloth near ... it's close, it's gonna happen.' And I didn't know how to process that, because my entire life had been waiting for this moment," she told the daytime host Tuesday. So Kristen Bell loves her a sloth. But — wait for it. "If I'm not between a 3 and a 7 on the emotional scale, I'm crying ... ," she explained. "I start to have a full-fledged panic attack." Yes, the anticipation of the sloth proved too much to bear. She went fetal on their bed with the family dogs and erupted into full blown, little-girl-in-love-with-Bieber tears. Witness the magic in the video above. As if that experience weren't emotional enough, Ellen proceeds to pull, well, an Ellen: She's perhaps decided to surprise Bell with an even cuter sloth. Reaction prediction? Bell goes "Sad Packer Fan." Cavaliers guard Daniel Gibson could be sidelined burberry outlet for a few more days with a neck infection that landed him in a Boston hospital. Gibson was released Tuesday from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center with a "soft tissue'' infection in his neck. Gibson stayed behind after the team played the Celtics on Sunday night. The 25-year-old is being treated with antibiotics. Cavs coach Byron Scott said Gibson will undergo more tests Wednesday in Cleveland. "He's feeling a lot better,'' Scott said before the Cavs hosted the Celtics. "I do know the Cleveland Clinic (doctors) are going to do more tests to make sure everything is OK. But other than that, we're just glad he's OK.'' Scott said Gibson's return to the floor will be determined after he's evaluated by team doctors. The Cavs play at Orlando on Friday and host Dallas on Saturday. With both Gibson and Anthony Parker (back) out, rookie Mychel Thompson made his first career start at shooting guard against the Celtics. Thompson played the entire fourth quarter in Cleveland's comeback win on Sunday in Boston, and Scott was impressed with the youngster's poise. "He'll be fine with the veterans we have out there,'' Scott said of Thompson, whose father, Mychal, was a No. 1 overall pick and played 12 seasons in the NBA. "I thought he was excited to get in and play. When I called his name I looked dead at him and didn't get the deer-in-the-headlights look. He just took his shirt off like he was ready to go and he went out there and played that way.''Burberry watches, designer burberry watch cheap outlet 2012. Parker doesn't know when he'll be back. He's had a back issue for several weeks and he aggravated the ailment in the first quarter on Sunday.

Djokovic had a troubling autumn after winning the United States

Rafael Nadal expressed his gratitude that Laver, 73, one of the greatest to play the game, was courtside for their matches. Roger Federer, who has long had an affinity with Australian tennis, sat next to Laver in a television cheap burberry studio and compared notes with him on rivalries and eras. Novak Djokovic called him Mr. Laver after meeting him for the first time and then apologized because nobody serves and volleys anymore. “We are running around the baseline,” Djokovic said. “I’m sorry about that.” But after all the baseline rallies were finally over in Laver Arena at well after midnight Monday morning, the only one of the game’s stars in position to be on equal terms with Laver this season was Djokovic. Djokovic had a troubling autumn after winning the United States Open in September, going down in a heap and a scream in Belgrade, Serbia, after tearing a rib muscle during a Davis Cup match against Argentina. When he returned, he looked short on energy and inspiration. Back in Melbourne to defend his title, he was nowhere near as untouchable as he was in 2011. He struggled for breath and for balance in his final two marathon matches, against Andy Murray and Nadal. But in the end it was all a false dawn for his rivals, as Djokovic ended up in the usual pose, holding the silverware even if he and Nadal required chairs during the ceremony that came after their 5-hour-53-minute final. Djokovic later added another twist, grabbing a microphone and belting out the AC/DC song “Highway to Hell” on a stage at the Australian Open staff party on his way to a much more sedate postmatch news conference. Bashful Djokovic most certainly is not, and his next tennis quest is now in need of a nickname. Will it be the Djoker Slam, the Djoko Slam or the Nole Slam if he becomes the first man since Laver in 1969 to hold all four Grand Slam singles titles? Djokovic, brimming with talent and confidence, needs only one more: the French Open in June. Roland Garros, in a sense, is his final frontier. It is the dusty kingdom ruled by Nadal, who has lost only one match on Paris clay and will be trying to break his tie with Bjorn Borg this year by winning his seventh singles title. Seven is not Nadal’s lucky number at the moment. Although he still leads Djokovic, 16-14 over all, he has lost their last seven matches, including burberry outlet two on outdoor clay last year. He and Djokovic looked set for a meeting in the French Open final last year before Federer stopped Djokovic’s 43-match winning streak in the semifinals. Djokovic has other plans this year. “I’m playing the best tennis of my life, and in 2011, I made back-to-back wins on the clay against Rafa,” he said. “The semifinals of Roland Garros was an incredible match against Federer, and so it gives me enough reason to believe that actually I can go to the finals maybe this year, and I’m thinking about it. There is no secret about it, but again, it’s still a long way through. “There is still many tournaments to come, but I will definitely prioritize Grand Slams and Olympic Games. That’s my aim this year.” To preserve his health in an Olympic year, he does not plan to play Davis Cup, the annual team event that helped launch him into orbit when Serbia won it in December 2010. Djokovic views the 11-month season as a series of miniseasons punctuated by breaks for rest and training. He and his support team call the miniseasons “waves.” “I think we need to do a similar wave strategy this year,” he said. “Because it’s going to be really difficult for me to decide which tournaments will have to be sacrificed in some ways, and I’ll have to do it, because I cannot play everything.” His family’s tour event in Belgrade remains problematic, coming the week before back-to-back mandatory Masters 1000 events in Madrid and Rome. Too many clay-court events, particularly when one wins so often, would not bode well for Paris. But some believe Djokovic is in position to think bigger. Mats Wilander, the outspoken former tennis champion, said that Djokovic, if healthy, was in position to make a run at Laver and the true Grand Slam by winning all four major tournaments in the same year. Wilander said one of the few things holding Djokovic back was his tendency to telegraph his physical difficulties to his opponents. “The only reason maybe he doesn’t win a match is because he’s looking for energy and he’s showing all of us that he’s looking for it, and that’s unprofessional,” Wilander said. “The only reason Nadal is in it is because he doesn’t look for it. It’s just there, and when Novak learns how to do that, he’s going to be kicking these guys’ tails for a long time. “He’s just so clean with his strokes. It’s just, ‘O.K., let me accelerate.’ And then boom. Nadal just doesn’t have that. It’s amazing, because Novak is cleaner than Federer. He’s like a Marat Safin who moves. It’s the same sort of power.”Burberry watches, designer burberry watch cheap outlet 2012. Melbourne belonged to an even diminished Djokovic, and labels like the Big Four or the Big Three continue to seem outdated. Major men’s tennis, for now, is about the Big One, and he is still only 24 years old.

Zeitlin noted in his speech that he was given tremendous freedom

Though it wasn't among the most buzzed-about films before the festival, the apocalyptic Beasts of the Southern Wild quickly became the toast of the town. Without a big-name director at its helm or an established movie star as its lead, it not only snagged the top prize but was snatched up by Fox Searchlight for $2 million earlier in the week.Cheap burberry - designer bags, shoes, accessories, clothing outlet 2012. Beasts director Benh Zeitlin hoisted the 8-year-old star of the film, Quvenzhané Wallis, to the stage when accepting the award. Zeitlin noted in his speech that he was given tremendous freedom as a first-time filmmaker. "I hope with this movie there is a flag that goes up to allow directors to explore the world," he said. Beasts also won a cinematography award. The Sundance honors capped the annual showcase for independent films for which 181 films were chosen to make their premiere. Overall, films sales to distributors were a mixed bag at this year's event and did not match the pre-festival hype. Director Spike Lee's Red Hook Summer, a film in which he also appears, has yet to find a buyer while The Surrogate, starring Helen Hunt and John Hawkes, went for $6 million. Neither frostbite nor ferocious wolves could keep Liam Neeson from dominating the midwinter box office. The Grey, his man-against-the-elements adventure set in the Alaskan wild, won the weekend at North American theaters with $20 million, according to preliminary studio estimates. One for the Money, a girl-power crime movie starring Katherine Heigl, exceeded low expectations and opened to $11.75 million, for third place behind last weekend’s winner, Underworld Awakening. The suspense drama Man on a Ledge, with Sam Worthington and Elizabeth Banks, did a quick fall from a basement window, earning just $8.3 million in its debut frame—but the overall box office was up about 14% from the same time last year. So far, every weekend in 2012 has been stronger than in 2011, leading anxious moguls to dream that folks haven’t totally forsaken the habit of going to the movies. The Grey is Neeson’s third winter action film to score with audiences. The 2009 Taken opened to $24.7 million, eventually grossing $145 million in the domestic market and $226.8 million worldwide, while last year’s Unknown earned $21.9 million its first weekend, a $63.7-million cume in North American theaters and $130.8 million global. (In the same time, Neeson has also starred in a few movies — Five Minutes of Heaven, www.cheapburberryoutlet2012.com Chloe and After.Life — that registered barely a blip on moviegoers’ radar.) The R-rated thriller-chiller attracted an audience that tilted male (54%) and gave it a mediocre B-minus rating, as reported by the CinemaScore survey firm. But considering that the movie cost only $25 million to produce, The Grey will soon be in the black. One for the Money, based on the first in Janet Evanovich’s series of best-sellers about the saucy bail-bondwoman Stephanie Plum (most recent entry: Explosive Eighteen), was given scant chance to collar an audience. Unscreened for critics, then panned by those who paid to see it — a 3% grade on Rotten Tomatoes), One for the Money found its target demographic: 80% were women, and 40% of those older than 40. Beyond luring the ladies of the Red Hat Society (whose official book is subtitled Fun and Friendship After Fifty), the movie benefitted from discounted tickets available on Groupon, and promotion on the Home Shopping Network and at the Curves workout chain. That’s the cheerful news. The reality is that One for the Money lodged Heigl’s lowest opening since the 2007 Knocked Up made her a star in charge of her own projects. The film’s $11.75 million marks a precipitous drop from the $23 million for 27 Dresses, the $27.6 million for The Ugly Truth, the $15.8 million for Killers and the $14.5 million for Life as We Know it. It’s also a hefty fall-off from director Julie Anne Robinson’s previous effort, the Miley-Cyrus-finds-teen-love sudser The Last Song, which took in $16 million its first weekend. The matchup of a star, even one who wattage has dimmed, with a killer femme-crime franchise should have opened closer to $20 million if it were to spawn the hoped-for sequels. And a subpar B-minus rating from CinemaScore indicates that the faithful who saw the film this weekend won’t be spreading enthusiastic word-of-mouth. Heigl’s Plum may not get as far even as Two for the Dough; instead it could be interred in the lady-sleuth cemetery next to V.I. Warshawski, the Sara Paretsky private eye whose 1991 movie debut, starring Kathleen Turner, was also her movie demise. Underworld Awakening, in which Kate Beckinsale puts the vamp back into vampire, held decently, a 50% drop from last weekend; and Red Tails, the George Lucas production about World War II’s all-black Tuskegee Airmen’s unit, slumped just 45% for fourth place this weekend. Last Christmas’s biggest gift to Hollywood, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, fell out of the top 10 in its seventh week, but crossed the $200 million mark in domestic theaters. Tom Cruise’s return to superstardom has earned $571.6 million worldwide, the highest gross for any of the four Mission movies (though in real-dollar it trails the 1996 original and its 2000 sequel). Not far behind was the Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, which is up to $182.3 million in North America and a $469.4 million planetary total. At this time of the movie year, studio bosses don’t look back so much as forward — to Oscar hopefuls that use Academy Award citations as their pro-bono ad campaigns. That improbable front-runner The Artist, which received 10 nominations (while being named Best Picture by the directors’ and producers’ guilds), upped its theater count to 897 this weekend and pulled in $3.3 million, for a $16.7 million domestic total, just a bit under the $17.5 million earned so far by another Weinstein Company Oscar candidate, The Iron Lady (Meryl Streep: Best Actress). The Descendants, with five nominations, including Best Picture, Director and Actor (George Clooney), expanded from 560 to 2,001 theaters and reentered the top 10, with $6.6 million and a $59.8 million cume. One film that fooled the smart money by landing among the Best Picture finalists was Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. That surprising citation helped the post-9/11 family drama, starring Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock and Thomas Horn, to a sixth-place finish in its second weekend of wide release. Glenn Close was a Best Actress nominee for her work as the crossdressing Irish butler in Albert Nobbs, which opened to a muted $773,000 in 245 theaters. Burberry bags, cheap burberry handbags outlet, buy 2012 burberry purse.The real indie hits were the Best Doc nominee Pina, Wim Wenders’ tribute to choreographer Pina Bausch, which has already crossed the $1-million mark though playing in only 35 salons, and the Iranian drama A Separation, which snagged nominations for Best Foreign Language Feature and Best Screenplay. The film took in $281,000 in just 31 theaters. With rapturous reviews and the Oscar spotlight, it could easily become the first truly popular Iranian movie in the U.S. Here’s hoping for an art-house hit, and for peace, however restless, between the two countries.

I believe that this new stage of their planning

The head of the Arab League has asked to meet burberry outlet the United Nations secretary-general to seek the UN Security Council's support for its latest plan to resolve the crisis in Syria, the League said in a statement on Tuesday. It said Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby and Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani, who heads the League's committee on Syria, sent a joint letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon giving details of the plan for a political solution to end the violence. The letter asks for a "joint meeting cheap moncler jackets between them in the UN headquarters to inform the Security Council about developments and obtain the support of the Council for this plan," the statement added. Earlier Tuesday, the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) said it had decided to follow Saudi Arabia's lead and withdraw its monitors from the monitoring mission in Syria. The League had urged Syrian President Bashar Assad on Sunday to step down over his bloody crackdown on a 10-month-old revolt, in which thousands of Syrians have been killed. Saudi Arabia had already withdrawn its monitors, and called for "all possible pressure" to be placed on Damascus. "The GCC states have decided to respond to the decision of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia to withdraw its monitors from the Arab League delegation to Syria," the GCC said in a statement gucci outlet. It said the GCC was "certain the bloodshed and killing of innocents would continue, and that the Syrian regime would not abide by the Arab League's resolutions." Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Mouallem said that taking the plan to the United Nations was a new stage in the League's moves against the country. "I believe that this new stage of their planning against Syria is a call for internationalizing (the Syria issue)," he told a news conference. Mouallem also said that Syria would hold a referendum on a new constitution moncler jackets soon as part of reforms promised by Assad. "The new Syrian constitution will be put to a referendum within a week or more."

Houston was in a position to come to Indianapolis

The man with the expiring contract caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Dan Orlovsky with 19 seconds left, giving the Colts their only lead of the game in a 19-16 victory over AFC South champion Houston 19-16 cheap burberry outlet 2012. It's the second straight win for the Colts (2-13), who will now have to fight off St. Louis and Minnesota for the No. 1 overall draft pick. Orlovsky, who played the last two seasons with Houston, also won his second straight game after losing his first nine NFL starts. "Reggie certainly had a spectacular game. Caught it well, was active in the running, just all around a terrific game," Colts coach Jim Caldwell said. Houston was in a position to come to Indianapolis and simply tune up for the postseason. Not a chance. The Texans looked anything but playoff-ready. They settled for two field goals in the red zone, didn't convert a third down until getting a lucky bounce late in the fourth quarter, its running game was stymied late and the defense helped the Colts with three penalties on the decisive drive. Houston (11-4) is now 0-10 in Indianapolis and still hunting for a first-round bye cheap moncler jackets finder. The Texans still haven't scored more than 20 points in a game since Nov. 27. When Brian Cushing broke through the line on the game's first play, sacking Orlovsky and stripping the ball, it looked like it might be a replica of the teams' first meeting, a 34-7 blowout. Arian Foster ran for 8 yards on the next play, then scored on a 9-yard burst off the left side to give Houston a 7-0 lead. Foster carried 23 times for 158 yards but repeatedly stopped the Texans' runners in the red zone. "We didn't turn the ball over nearly as much as we did in that (first) game," Caldwell said. "But beyond that, I think we were pretty good at protecting the ball. I think our defense played extremely well even though they ran for 171 yards. It was kind of a bend but don't break defense, but when they had to stop them in the red zone, they stopped them in the red zone cheap gucci outlet 2012. Nobody got into the end zone again until Orlovsky took the Colts 78 yards in the final two minutes, thanks in part to three costly Houston penalties, two of them against rookie defensive end J.J. Watt. After a pass interference call against Glover Quinn put the ball at the Texans 1, Orlovsky lobbed the ball into the corner of the end zone and Wayne beat the coverage to make the catch. "All in all, it was a great team win," Caldwell said. "When the offense needed a drive, we got it. When we needed a field goal we got it. When we needed a stop we got it." Orlovsky was 23 of 41 for 244 yards with the one TD. Joseph Addai ran 19 times for 59 yards moncler jackets 2011 outlet.

The reports could not be independently verified

Assad has insisted there be no foreign intervention in Syria. He agreed under heavy regional pressure to admit some Arab League observers, but their effectiveness has been limited gucci outlet. Activists said at least 18 people died Tuesday, and six Syrian soldiers were killed late Monday near Damascus. The revolt has turned increasingly militarized in recent months, with a growing risk of civil war. The U.N. says about 400 people have been killed in the last three weeks, on top of an earlier estimate of more than 5,000 dead since March. Syrian activists said most of Tuesday's dead were shot by security forces or pro-regime gunmen. The reports could not be independently verified. Attacks also were reported for a fifth day in the Damascus suburb of Zabadani, near the border with Lebanon. The government rejection of armed intervention followed a remark from the leader of Qatar,Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, who was quoted Sunday as saying Arab troops should be sent to Syria to stop the deadly violence -- the first statements by an Arab leader calling for the deployment of troops inside Syria. Qatar, which once had close relations with Damascus, has been a harsh critic of the crackdown. Since the wave of Arab uprisings began more than a year ago, Qatar has taken an aggressive role, raising its influence in the region. "The Syrian people reject any foreign intervention in its affairs, under any title, and would confront any attempt to infringe upon Syria's sovereignty and the integrity of its territories," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The government says terrorists are behind the uprising, not reform-seekers, and that armed gangs are acting out a foreign conspiracy to destabilize the country. The regime says 2,000 members of the security forces have been killed. Syria agreed last month to an Arab League plan that calls for a halt to the crackdown, the withdrawal of heavy weaponry like tanks from cities, the release of all political prisoners, and allowing foreign journalists and human rights workers in. About 150 Arab League observers are working in Syria to verify whether the government is abiding by its agreement, and the League said Tuesday another 10 will head into Syria shortly. So far they appear to have made little impact, and the conflict has reached a bloody stalemate, with both sides refusing to back down. On Tuesday, the Dutch foreign minister called on Assad's opponents to form a "united, representative and inclusive" opposition to the regime, an indication that the fragmentation of the opposition movements is itself an issue. Uri Rosenthal also said he would keep pressing for further European Union sanctions and a U.N. Security Council resolution on Syria. He spoke after meeting Burhan Ghalioun, leader of the Syrian National Council, an umbrella group for the opposition. Ghalioun's visit came a day after Russia circulated a revised Security Council resolution on the violence in Syria. Western diplomats said the draft fell short of their demand for strong condemnation of Assad's crackdown. Gucci outlet online shop provides gucci 2012 new arrivals, up to 70% off. Welcome to buy cheap gucci items for men and women, all are latest styles in various colors for your choice. The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 18 people were killed in Syria on Tuesday, most of them shot dead by troops or pro-government gunmen. The Local Coordination Committees, another activist group, said 24 people were killed, 17 of them in the restive central province of Homs. It was impossible to resolve the discrepancy or to independently verify the death toll. Syria has banned most foreign corespondents and restricted local coverage, making it impossible to get independent confirmation of the events on the ground. The state-run news agency, SANA, reported violence targeting security forces and civilians Tuesday, saying a roadside bomb went off near a minibus in the northwestern province of Idlib, killing four and wounding five. A video posted online by activists showed a minibus with its roof blown out and blood stains on the seats. The narrator blamed security forces for the attack.

He described the feeling of seeing

Dr. Howard Falcon-Lang, a paleontologist at Royal Holloway, University of London, said Tuesday that he stumbled upon the glass slides containing moncler jackets the fossils in an old wooden cabinet that had been shoved in a "gloomy corner" of the massive, drafty British Geological Survey. Using a flashlight to peer into the drawers and hold up a slide, Falcon-Lang saw one of the first specimens he had picked up was labeled 'C. Darwin Esq." "It took me a while just to convince myself that it was Darwin's signature on the slide," the paleontologist said, adding he soon realized it was a "quite important and overlooked" specimen. He described the feeling of seeing that famous signature as "a heart in your mouth situation," saying he wondering "Goodness, what have I discovered!" Falcon-Lang's find was a collection of 314 slides of specimens collected by Darwin and other members of his inner circle, including John Hooker— a botanist and dear friend of Darwin — and the Rev. John Henslow, Darwin's mentor at Cambridge, whose daughter later married Hooker. The first slide pulled out of the dusty corner moncler at the British Geological Survey turned out to be one of the specimens collected by Darwin during his famous expedition on the HMS Beagle, which changed the young Cambridge graduate's career and laid the foundation for his subsequent work on evolution. Falcon-Lang said the unearthed fossils — lost for 165 years — show there is more to learn from a period of history scientists thought they knew well. "To find a treasure trove of lost Darwin specimens from the Beagle voyage is just extraordinary," Falcon-Lang added. "We can see there's more to learn. There are a lot of very, very significant fossils in there that we didn't know existed." He said one of the most "bizarre" slides came moncler outlet from Hooker's collection — a specimen of prototaxites, a 400 million-year-old tree-sized fungus. Hooker had assembled the collection of slides while briefly working for the British Geological Survey in 1846, according to Royal Holloway, University of London. The slides — "stunning works of art," according to Falcon-Lang — contain bits of fossil wood and plants ground into thin sheets and affixed to glass in order to be studied under microscopes. Some of the slides are half a foot long (15 centimeters), "great big chunks of glass," Falcon-Lang said. "How these things got overlooked for so long is a bit of a mystery itself," he mused, speculating that perhaps it was because Darwin was not widely known in 1846 so the collection might not have been given "the proper curatorial care." Royal Holloway, University of London said the fossils were 'lost' because Hooker failed to number them in the formal "specimen register" before setting out on an expedition to the Himalayas. In 1851, the "unregistered" fossils were moved to the Museum of Practical Geology in Piccadilly before being transferred to the South Kensington's Geological Museum in 1935 and then to the British Geological Survey's headquarters near Nottingham 50 years later, the university said. The discovery was made in April, but it has taken "a long time" to figure out the provenance of the slides and photograph all of them, Falcon-Lang said. The slides have now been photographed and will be made available to the public through a new online museum exhibit opening Tuesday. Falcon-Lang expects great scientific papers to emerge from the discovery. "There are some real gems in this cheap moncler collection that are going to contribute to ongoing science." Dr. John Ludden, executive director of the Geological Survey, called the find a "remarkable" discovery.

Walker's campaign spokeswoman Ciara Matthews

Recall organizers say they have gathered far more than the 540,208 signatures required to force the election against both Walker and GOP Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, and will submit their petitions Tuesday gucci outlet. Walker has meanwhile dominated the state's airwaves with ads defending his agenda, including the law enacted last year that ended nearly all collective bargaining rights for most public workers and spurred the recall effort in the first place. He's also crisscrossed the country raising millions of dollars, taking full advantage of both the conservative rock star persona built as he put Wisconsin at the center of the national labor rights debate and a quirk in state law allowing those targeted for recall to ignore normal contribution limits until an election date is set. Walker reported in mid-December that he'd already raised $5.1 million, with about half of that coming from out of state. He received $250,000 alone from Bob Perry, the Texas conservative who was one of the main financial backers behind the Swift Boat Veterans ads that attacked Sen. John Kerry during the 2004 presidential campaign. Democrats and union leaders insist they're not concerned about not having someone actively running against Walker and trying to match his fundraising. In fact, they say it was part of their strategy cheap gucci. "It forced Walker and his minions to run on their record and issues rather than to run against an announced Democratic candidate," said Marty Beil, president of the Wisconsin State Employees Union, the largest union of state workers. "That was part of the rationale through the whole recall petition collection process." Democrats and union leaders said they also never anticipated competing with Walker on fundraising. Beil said the key for recall supporters will be to maintain the enthusiasm that fueled recall signature collection for the past two months. "And we win with some resources, but we don't see matching him for dollar by dollar," Beil added. Walker's campaign spokeswoman Ciara Matthews said in a statement that the governor's record will "stand in stark contrast to whoever the eventual Democratic nominee is." She defended Walker's record from last year, noting he balanced the state's $3.6 billion shortfall without massive layoffs of state employees. Gucci women shoes, cheap gucci sneakers boots for women outlet 2012. Democrats have framed Walker's budget-balancing tactics as an attack on labor unions, one of their key constituencies. Thousands of demonstrators staged non-stop protests at the Capitol for three weeks and the Senate's 14 minority Democrats even fled the state in a futile attempt to block the collective bargaining plan that Walker signed into law last March.

Linebacker Brandon Spikes is the team’s best run-stopper

For much of the year, coach Bill Belichick’s unit was the team’s weak link, as he faced endless questions about the no-name players he signed. But after beating the Broncos 45-10 and allowing a season-low 252 yards, the reality may have changed. They were fundamentally sound and hard-nosed, well-schooled and opportunistic. Some of the recent improvement is due to the return of two key cogs up the middle. Linebacker Brandon Spikes is the team’s best moncler jackets run-stopper, but he missed the second half of the season with a sprained MCL. Now that he’s been back for two games, he is the best answer to stopping Ravens running back Ray Rice. It’s not just in the way he tackles. Spikes routinely blew up guards and centers against Denver, allowing others to make the tackle. You can’t replicate that. As for safety Pat Chung, his hard-hitting ways and range covers the middle of the field is the best answer for covering tight ends such as Dennis Pitta. The defense can now guard inside out, pushing up the middle, setting the edge and giving runners nowhere to go. In pass coverage, they can blanket between the numbers and force quarterback Joe Flacco to make throws he doesn’t want to make. In short, they are hitting their stride at the right time. … By turning tight end Aaron Hernandez into a running back, the Patriots made every team left in the playoffs think. If Hernandez can become a runner and be effective, what else will they do? Vince Wilfork at guard? Logan Mankins at defensive tackle? Nate Solder at tight end? They’ve made themselves impossible to game-plan for. Hawthorne rocket venture Space Exploration moncler Technologies Corp. again delayed its mission to rendezvous with the International Space Station. The company, better known as SpaceX, planned to send its Dragon capsule into space aboard its 18-story Falcon 9 rocket Feb. 7 from Cape Canaveral, Fla. But on Monday the company said that more engineering work was needed before it would embark on the historic mission. SpaceX did not give a new launch date. The company already has a $1.6-billion contract to haul cargo in 12 flights to the space station for NASA. If the upcoming rendezvous mission is successful, the company would start in earnest to fulfill the contract. "We believe that there are a few areas that will benefit from additional work and will optimize the safety and success of this mission," Kirstin Grantham, a SpaceX spokeswoman, said in a statement. "We are now working with NASA to establish moncler outlet a new target launch date, but note that we will continue to test and review data. We will launch when the vehicle is ready." The mission has been more than a year in the making since SpaceX became the first private company to blast a spacecraft into Earth's orbit and have it return intact in December 2010. The company wanted to go to the space station less than a year later, but the launch date was pushed back to February, and now it's unclear when the mission will take place. SpaceX makes the Dragon capsule and Falcon 9 rocket at a sprawling facility in Hawthorne where fuselages for Boeing Co.'s 747 jumbo jet were once assembled. However, the hardware is sent by big rig to Cape Canaveral for launches. To date, the Falcon 9 rocket has had just two successful test launches. SpaceX wants to rendezvous with the space station to demonstrate it is the clear front-runner to take over the lucrative responsibility of cheap moncler running more cargo missions — and possibly carrying astronauts — to the space station for NASA now that the space shuttle has been retired.

That's what it's got to be

Playing defense and protecting the football are what they do best, and that formula led to a 20-13 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday, putting Baltimore in the AFC title game against the New England Patriots. "I always say there is a right way to moncler jackets do things, there is a wrong way to do things and there is just the Ravens' way of doing things," linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "It wasn't pretty but we're not really a pretty team. We got the W and now it's on to the AFC championship." The Ravens (13-4) had almost as many punts (nine) as first downs (11) and scored only three points over the final 46 minutes. But Baltimore wasn't penalized once, didn't commit a turnover, intercepted rookie quarterback T.J. Yates three times and totaled four takeaways — two in the first quarter and two over the final eight minutes. "If we didn't get any of those turnovers it would probably be a different game," Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata said. Baltimore visits New England next Sunday, with the winner advancing to the Super Bowl in Indianapolis on Feb. 5. The Patriots lead the series 6-1, but Baltimore's lone win came in the postseason. "We don't play the game until next week," Suggs said. "I'm going to enjoy tonight." Veteran defensive stars Ed Reed and Ray Lewis led a unit that yielded only one touchdown and came up with the big play when one was needed. Lewis had a team-high seven tackles and Reed sealed the victory with the Ravens' fourth takeaway, moncler an interception near the goal line in the closing minutes. "It's winning by any means necessary," Reed said. "That's what it's got to be." The Ravens finished 9-0 at home, but this one was anything but easy. Baltimore led 17-3 after the first quarter, and interceptions by Lardarius Webb and Reed in the final 7½ minutes helped the advantage stand up. Reed has eight interceptions in 10 playoff games, few bigger than the last one.Moncler women boots cheap sale, 2011 moncler winter boots outlet. "You can't say enough about him," Ravens linebacker Jarret Johnson said. "His big plays always seem to happen when you need one." One week earlier, in the first playoff game in Texans history, Houston didn't commit a turnover in a 31-10 home rout of Cincinnati. Against Baltimore, the Texans couldn't hold onto the ball and quickly fell behind by two touchdowns. Arian Foster ran for 132 yards, the first player ever to rush for 100 yards against the Ravens in the postseason. But Yates' three interceptions matched the total he had in six regular season games. "I can't have the turnovers," Yates said. "If we don't turn the ball over like that, we have a chance to win. And we still had a chance to win. If I'd done a better job of protecting the football, I really think we'd have come out with the win today. We did a good job of moving the ball and we had some big plays, but you can't have that many picks." Yates was the third starting quarterback used by Houston this season following injuries to Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart. The Texans also lost wide receiver Andre Johnson for a spell and finished without sack specialist Mario Williams, cheap moncler who missed the last two-thirds of the season. And still, the Texans got within a win of reaching the conference title game. After the game, team owner Bob McNair pulled aside coach Gary Kubiak and congratulated him.

Paul has won more votes in the first two contests

Paul has won more votes in the first two contests than any of the other non-Romney candidates. And he's done it with a swath of young, enthusiastic, independent supporters who are coveted by the GOP as it tries to dislodge President Obama in November burberry bags. But few political experts give the libertarian-leaning Paul any chance of winning the Republican nomination. And despite his strong showings in early states, Florida voters might not see much of Paul before the state's Jan. 31 primary. With Florida's expensive media markets, its primary rules that don't allow independents to vote and its winner-take-all format for awarding delegates, the Paul campaign's Florida director said he doesn't know whether Paul will campaign heavily in the Sunshine State. ''They're really going to make that decision after South Carolina," said Mark Cross, an Osceola County GOP activist who is the Paul campaign's only paid Florida staffer. South Carolina's primary is Jan. 21. ''It's going to cost $10 million to win (in Florida). The campaign is very frugal with its money," Cross said. "When you take a look at the numbers, it might be better economically to focus on some of the smaller states where they can actually win delegates." Paul finished third in last week's nonbinding Iowa caucuses with 21.4 percent of the vote. He was second to Romney in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary with 22.9 percent of the vote.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) may be expanding its antitrust investigations to include the increasing integration of Google+ into Mountain View‘s search engine business. Additional probes into the links between Google and its fledgling social network are being ordered to assess to what - if any - level Mountain View is favoring its own services in the search engine market, two sources told Bloomberg. The FTC declined to comment on the matter. “We believe that our improvements to search will benefit consumers,” Adam Kovacevich, a spokesman for Mountain View, California-based Google, said in an statement - while declining to comment on any investigation. “The laws are designed to help consumers benefit from innovation, not to help competitors.” Burberry wallets, cheap burberry wallet for women 2012 sale. On Tuesday Google announced it was integrating Google+ and other public social media data into its search results, with its “Search plus your World” initiative. The move sparked debate after a complaint from Twitter that Google was "damaging to the internet" and led to calls from the Electronic Privacy Information Center for the FTC to intervene. The FTC is already looking into Google ranking systems to see if there is any favoritism going on in the results, and has reportedly widened the initial investigation to include the effect of Android on the mobile operating system market. Cheap burberry - designer bags, shoes, accessories, clothing outlet 2012. Mountain View is facing a regulatory barrage from Congress at the moment; the company is under intense scrutiny on antitrust issues, and seems to be on the losing side of a battle over legislation like Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). As El Reg has pointed out, Google has a rough road ahead, and it seems likely that the pressure isn’t going to let up any time soon.

The major uncertainty for prediction is the atmospheric density

Phobos-Grunt weighed some 13 tonnes at launch, but very little of this mass should make it through to the surface. Russian space agency (Roscosmos) moncler jackets estimates suggest perhaps only 200kg will survive the fiery plunge. Orbital debris experts say there are large uncertainties in predicting re-entry events and it is currently not possible to forecast precisely when or where on Earth the final descent will occur. "The major uncertainty for prediction is the atmospheric density the spacecraft encounters in orbit, but it's also due to the orientation of the vehicle as it comes in," explained Prof Richard Crowther, the UK Space Agency's chief engineer. "It can very quickly tumble and if pieces break off - that all changes the trajectory and where debris might impact." This is the third high-profile spacecraft re-entry in four months, following the return in September of the American UARS satellite and the German Rosat telescope in October. Both fell over the ocean. With so much of the Earth's surface covered by water, there is every chance Phobos-Grunt will do the same. The mission was supposed to be the most exciting Russian space science venture in decades - an audacious bid to scoop up rocky fragments from the Martian moon Phobos and bring them back for study in Earth laboratories. The spacecraft launched successfully on 8 November, moncler jackets entering a "parking orbit" some 375km above the Earth. But Phobos-Grunt then failed to push on to the Red Planet as planned. For some reason, its big boost engine did not fire. Attempts to contact the spacecraft and diagnose the fault have proved fruitless. Both professional and amateur tracking groups have been trying to work out when it will fall out of the sky, and many of their estimates are clustering around late Sunday (GMT). The spacecraft's rate of descent is being monitored by radar and the tracking groups will be using this information to try to narrow the uncertainties as the weekend progresses. A lot of attention has focussed on the amount of fuel that Phobos-Grunt is carrying. Out of the total launch mass of more than 13 tonnes, in excess of 10 tonnes was the fuel needed to complete the mission. Phobos-Grunt's tanks were filled with the propellants Unsymmetrical DiMethylHydrazine (UDMH) and Dinitrogen TetrOxide (DTO), both of which are toxic. But, crucially, the tanks are made of aluminium, which has a relatively low melting temperature. Analysts are confident the tanks will rupture moncler outlet and their contents will be destroyed or dispersed long before any debris can reach the surface. "Depending on when something breaks up and what it's made of and how it comes away from the main vehicle, it can either burn up or survive re-entry," said Prof Crowther. "In the case of Phobos-Grunt, it's a flying fuel tank in many respects, and so most of the mass is fuel which should explode." The Russians have had a torrid run of space failures recently, leading the head of the country's space agency to wonder even if saboteurs were at work. Western countries, which use Russian rockets to launch their satellites, are just worried though that some systematic failures have started to appear in what has traditionally been a highly regarded space industry. With their own opportunity to go to Mars now lost, the Russians may decide to put their future interplanetary cheap moncler efforts into joint ventures with the Americans and the Europeans. The Russians have an offer from the US and Europe to join the ExoMars missions to the Red Planet in 2016 and 2018.

Finding the frogs was not an easy assignment

The researchers also found a moncler jackets slightly larger relative, Paedophryne swiftorum. Presenting the new species in PLoS One journal, they suggest the frogs' tiny scale is linked to their habitat, in leaf litter on the forest floor. Finding the frogs was not an easy assignment. They are well camouflaged among leaves on the forest floor, and have evolved calls resembling those of insects, making them hard to spot. "The New Guinea forests are incredibly loud at night; and we were trying to record frog calls in the forest, and we were curious as to what these other sounds were," said research leader Chris Austin from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, US. "So we triangulated to where these calls were coming from, and looked through the leaf litter. "It was night, these things are incredibly small; moncler 2011 promotion so what we did after several frustrating attempts was to grab a whole handful of leaf litter and throw it inside a clear plastic bag. "When we did so, we saw these incredibly tiny frogs hopping around," he told BBC News. Littering the leaves The Paedophryne genus was identified only recently, and consists of a number of tiny species found at various points in the eastern forests of Papua New Guinea. "They're occupying the long jackets for men relatively thick leaf litter of tropical forest in low-lying parts of the island, eating incredibly small insects that typically are much smaller than insects that frogs eat," said Professor Austin. "And they're probably prey for a large number of relatively small invertebrates that don't usually prey on frogs." Predators may well include scorpions. Intriguingly, other places in the world that also feature dense, moist leaf litter tend to possess such small frog species, indicating that amphibians are well placed to occupy this ecological niche. Before the Paedophrynes were found, the title of "world's smallest frog" was bestowed on the Brazilian gold frog (Brachycephalus didactylus) and its slightly larger Cuban relative, the Monte Iberia Eleuth (Eleutherodactylus iberia). They both measure less than 1cm long. The smallest vertebrates have until now been fish. Adult Paedocypris progenetica, which dwells in Indonesian swamps and streams, measure 7.9-10.3 mm long. Male anglerfish of the species Photocorynus spiniceps are just over 6mm long. But they spend their lives fused to the much larger (50mm long) females, so whether they should count in this contest would be disputed. Paedophryne amaunensis adults average 7.7mm, which is why its discoverers believe it how holds the crown. The remote expanses of Papua New Guinea rank cheap moncler jackets alongside those of Madagascar as places where hitherto undiscovered amphibian species are expected to turn up, as they are largely undeveloped and not well explored.

The kerfuffle that began Tuesday

Twitter lambasted the changes as "bad" for consumers and Web publishers. Meanwhile, a privacy watchdog group is threatening to moncler jackets complain to the Federal Trade Commission. Google says it's simply trying to make searches deeper and more personalized for millions of people. The kerfuffle that began Tuesday, shortly after Google announced new features, underscores growing rivalry between the Web companies. And it comes as Google is facing antitrust scrutiny for favoring its own services in search results. The Electronic Privacy Information Center said Wednesday that it's considering a complaint to the FTC that Google's new search feature raises privacy and antitrust concerns. Google's changes blend information such as photos, comments and news posted on its Google+ social network into users' search results. Google+ members will have the option of seeing Google search results that are customized to their interests and connections. For instance, a photo of the San Francisco 49ers or a friend's recommendation for a bar could show up. Twitter claims Google's changes would make it tougher for people to find the breaking news often shared by users of its service. "We're concerned that as a result of Google's changes, finding this information will be much harder for everyone," the statement said. "We think that's bad for people, publishers, news organizations and Twitter users." Moncler Jackets Women,Moncler Jackets for Women,cheap jackets for women shop online. Twitter's Matt Graves declined to say whether the company might reach out to antitrust regulators about Google's changes. Google said it was "a bit surprised by Twitter's comments … because they chose not to renew their agreement with us last (July)." The 2009 accord let Google offer a real-time feed of Twitter messages within its search results. Google has been working for years on its social search engine to better tailor results. In June, it launched the Google+ social network, offering capabilities similar to Twitter and Facebook. Google+ has 40 million users, the company says. Facebook, with more than 800 million members, has chosen to share most of its data with Microsoft's Bing search engine, not Google's.

Researchers were reluctant to give the all clear to anyone

Smoking a joint or a bowl from time to time appears to cause no long-term damage to the lungs, according to a UCSF study that disproves moncler jackets one of the major concerns about marijuana use - that inhaling anything other than air on a regular basis must be harmful. The study, results of which were published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that the lung capacity of people who smoked marijuana was not diminished by lighting up, even among those who smoked once or twice a week. Smoking 20 or more joints a month did have a negative impact on the pulmonary system, but that level of marijuana use is unusual. For occasional users, smoking marijuana was actually associated with a small but statistically significant increase in lung capacity - perhaps caused by the deep-breathing pot smokers use to draw the drug into their lungs. Researchers were reluctant to give the all clear to anyone who wants to smoke pot, but the results - and the fact that they were published in a major medical journal - should reassure doctors and patients who are tempted to use marijuana for treatment, primarily to ease pain and nausea, said Dr. Mark Pletcher, moncler for men - Cheap Moncler Jackets a UCSF epidemiologist and lead author of the study. "Moderate levels of exposure to marijuana don't seem to have any adverse effects in terms of pulmonary function," Pletcher said. "That was a little surprising to me, honestly. I thought we were going to find a small decline in pulmonary function, similar to what we'd find with tobacco." Smoking cigarettes has such dramatic, long-term health consequences - including emphysema and lung cancer - that doctors have long assumed that marijuana smoking, too, must be detrimental. The study, which looked at 5,115 men and women over a 20-year period, found that people were just about as likely to smoke marijuana as cigarettes, and many participants smoked both. People who smoked cigarettes, however, were more likely to be heavy users - on average about eight cigarettes a day - than marijuana smokers, who lit up on average two or three times a month. It's likely that the main reason that marijuana smoke doesn't seem to affect lung function the way tobacco does is because people simply don't use the drug as much as they use tobacco. Moncler shoes for men, cheap moncler men shoes 2011 sale, free shipping.But it's also possible, scientists said, that marijuana smoke just isn't as damaging as tobacco smoke. "No one would ever claim that drinking water has the same effect as drinking vodka, even though they're both liquids and you're ingesting them the same way. But for some reason we have assumed that because we know the negative outcomes with cigarettes, inhaling any plant material is going to have the same outcomes," said Amanda Reiman, a UC Berkeley lecturer and director of research at the Berkeley Patients Group, a medical marijuana dispensary. "This study is challenging the cheap moncler preconceived notions we've had for some time about the dangers of smoking cannabis and the similarities to smoking tobacco," she said.

In remarks at the White House

Mr. Daley's move marked the end of a rocky yearlong tenure in which the former J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. executive, whose original mission was to reach out to business and congressional Republicans, became increasingly sidelined. Mr. Obama announced Monday that Mr. Daley would be succeeded by the White House budget director cheap burberry outlet 2012, Jacob Lew. Mr. Daley, the son of legendary Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and brother of former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, was widely seen as a face of centrist Democratic politics. Mr. Obama brought him into the White House in the wake of Democratic losses in the 2010 election as the White House sought to recalibrate. Mr. Obama's outreach to congressional Republicans culminated this summer with a fight over raising the debt ceiling and a failed effort to reach a bipartisan "grand bargain" on reducing the federal deficit. The president has since decided to campaign against Congress, traveling the country with a populist message designed to challenge Republicans. He solidified the shift last month with a speech in Kansas in which he cast himself as a fighter for the middle class against congressional Republicans and Wall Street—an approach ill-suited for Mr. Daley's background and perspective. Mr. Daley's resignation comes as Mr. Obama had hoped to ride seamlessly into his re-election campaign from a victory last month on extending the payroll tax cut and recent positive economic news. It is unusual for a senior White House official to leave during an election year. In remarks at the White House, Mr. Obama praised Mr. Daley for aiding him on a wide range of critical issues. "Obviously, this was not easy news to hear, and I didn't accept Bill's decision right away," he said. "Bill has been an outstanding chief of staff during one of the busiest and most consequential years of my administration burberry handbags." The changes will take effect at the end of January, giving Mr. Lew time to wrap up details on the president's budget proposal due next month. Mr. Obama praised Mr. Lew's advice on the economy and stressed he also has confidence in his budget director's ability to handle foreign-policy issues. In his resignation letter, Mr. Daley didn't detail his reasons for leaving, other than for the Chicagoan to say, "It is time for me to go back to the city I love." Mr. Daley and other White House officials didn't reply to emails seeking elaboration on his reasoning. Mr. Daley will serve as a co-chairman of Mr. Obama's re-election campaign, which is headquartered in Chicago, campaign officials said. The position will make Mr. Daley part of a group of surrogates for Mr. Obama's re-election effort. Mr. Daley, a Commerce secretary in the Clinton administration, was the rare outsider brought inside the Obama White House and had an uneasy time fitting into his role. His delegating management style clashed with some fellow White House staffers. His efforts to cut fiscal deals with GOP leaders proved unsuccessful and rankled some Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.). In November, Mr. Daley announced in a senior staff meeting that he had ceded part of his White House management duties to Pete Rouse, a longtime aide to Mr. Obama who served as interim chief of staff before Mr. Daley arrived. Burberry wallets, cheap burberry wallet for women 2012 sale. The shift in Mr. Daley's role followed a bitter summer fight between the White House and congressional Republicans over raising the debt ceiling. "The president challenged us all to pick up our game after the summer, and I think we're all trying to do that," Mr. Daley said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal around the time, adding that being White House chief of staff has "been probably the best job I've ever had in spite of the difficulties of the times."

The document which cites Bain as a source

Mr. Romney had a particularly close involvement with one firm that flamed out, a maker of children's dolls meant to resemble moncler jackets their owners. Please see accompanying article.) Bain, citing privacy reasons, declined to provide a list of the companies it invested in. For its analysis, the Journal used a list of 77 Bain investments inked from 1984 through 1998 that were included in a document that a unit of Deutsche Bank AG circulated in 2000, while soliciting participants in a fund to invest with Bain. The document—which cites Bain as a source—appears to be the most authoritative available for Bain's activities, and says that the deals accounted for about 90% of the money Bain invested during that period. The Journal obtained updated information from a similar 2004 prospectus. The list focused on larger "private equity" investments—typically deals in which Bain took control of a business, or in some cases worked with another buyout firm to do so, aiming to improve the target business's performance. Deutsche Bank lumped into a single line all of Bain's investments of less than $2 million and those that were more of a venture-capital nature, which generally involved buying minority stakes in promising small companies such as Staples. Seventeen of the 77 private-equity targets filed bankruptcy petitions, usually Chapter 11 reorganization, or closed their doors by the end of the eighth year after Bain's investment. Of these, at least five clearly were still controlled and run by Bain at the time. In three other cases, Bain was a minority investor in a deal run by another buyout firm. In some of the remaining cases, Bain still held a small stake or had just sold out when the bankruptcy filing or shutdown occurred, while in other cases the trouble struck several years after Bain's exit. Academic research provides some basis to compare this performance. A study of buyouts by various firms globally found a 5% to 8% bankruptcy rate among target companies that were taken over from 1985 to 1999. However, this 2007 study, by Swedish academic Per Str?mberg, followed the target companies only until the buyout firm's exit, not until eight years after the investment as did the Journal. You can find the high quality of 2011 new arrival moncler jackets,moncler coats,moncler vest,moncler handbags.So companies that went public, then filed for bankruptcy a few years later, wouldn't have been counted as bankruptcies in the study. Another study looked at outcomes of buyout deals involving companies that were large enough to issue publicly traded debt. In deals from the early 1980s to late 1990s, roughly 15% to 20% of these target companies defaulted on bonds within seven years of the initial investment, while not necessarily filing for bankruptcy, said Hamid Mehran, who worked on the study. It was done in 2008 for the Bank for International Settlements. Mr. Mehran, a researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, said the rate at which Bain's target companies ran into trouble at some stage "seems large." He said it could be explained by the preponderance, among Bain investments, of small companies, which tend to fail at a higher rate. Marc Wolpow, a former Bain Capital executive, said the frequency of trouble did indeed stem largely from the firm's strategy early on of investing in smaller, troubled firms it hoped to turn around. "I don't think you can hold Mitt out as a great investor per se," Mr. Wolpow said, "but he was an excellent CEO of an investment firm, and the results speak for themselves." Mr. Romney, previously a Bain & Co. consultant, became the first leader of Bain Capital when it was founded in 1984. He left in early 1999 to take charge of the financially faltering 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. His Bain tenure brought him a fortune that his campaign has estimated at $190 million to $250 million. Bain, after its initial focus on small firms needing capital, later shifted toward the potentially more lucrative business of leveraged buyouts—acquiring control of businesses by using investors' money amplified by debt. In such deals, a buyout firm tries to improve profitability by refocusing operations and cutting costs, a step that can include cutting the work force. Buyout firms seek to make money not only by eventually selling a business for more than they put into it, but also by extracting fees and sometimes dividends while they own it. A few investments produced spectacular profits, the documents show. A 1995 Bain investment of $6.4 million in eye-care concern Wesley Jessen VisionCare Inc. yielded a gain of more than $300 million, roughly a 46-fold return. But the fact that some of Bain's biggest winners later landed in bankruptcy court "is potentially damning evidence" that the firm left the companies in vulnerable shape, said Mr. Str?mberg, the Swedish academic. He said research shows that moncler jackets 2011 outlet buyout companies, on average, add value to their targets, but it is worrisome if that reverses within a few years. A potentially mitigating factor, he added, is that these bankruptcy filings tended to be clustered during the post-2000 economic downturn. One of these deals involved DDi Corp., an Anaheim, Calif., maker of circuit boards. Bain nearly quadrupled the money its investors put into DDi starting in 1996, turning a $41 million investment into $157 million of value within a few years, according to the 2004 prospectus. Bain merged DDi with another firm in which Bain also held a stake and took the combined company public in 2000. Bain then gradually sold most of its shares to the public or distributed them to its investors and to Bain partners. Mr. Romney personally sold $4.3 million of DDi stock from these distributions in May 2001, regulatory filings show. But DDi's performance deteriorated in the downturn after the tech bubble deflated. It reported a sharp drop in sales and in 2001 and 2002 cut its work force by 1,300 people, or 40%, to about 1,900 employees, regulatory filings show. DDi defaulted on some of its debt in late 2002 at a time when Bain still controlled two of its six board seats, and filed for Chapter cheap moncler 11 bankruptcy reorganization in 2003. DDi later emerged from bankruptcy and continues in business today, with a work force similar in size to what it had after the layoffs.

In a New York Times on-camera interview

The sure thing: The Jerry Sandusky/Penn State scandal will be "the" state and local issue of 2012. Not even Pennsylvania's role in the presidential race will be able to compete with the unfolding drama in what is now (un)Happy Valley. Cheap burberry - designer bags, shoes, accessories, clothing outlet 2012. The hunches: (1) Sandusky will not stand trial, but (2) former athletic director Tim Curley and former vice president Gary Schultz will, only to be acquitted of the perjury charges they face. With nine or 10 young men prepared to offer sworn testimony that Sandusky sexually assaulted them, there appears little prospect for a finding of not guilty. If there were one accuser, or two, perhaps the defense could try to make a case for a tight circle of liars. But when you could nearly staff a football lineup with accusers, it strains credulity to believe they are all making it up. More likely, the allegations that Sandusky is a serial abuser will hold up. One person could have saved the former Penn State defensive coordinator: himself. But that won't happen. Sandusky has given two disastrous interviews that suggest what he'd be like on the stand. And when sportscaster Bob Costas asked the critical, and predictable, question, Sandusky needed to repeat it before he could answer it: "Am I sexually attracted to underage boys?" That's not a good sign. In a New York Times on-camera interview, Sandusky himself acknowledged his fate, saying, "I miss, I mean you know I'm going to miss my dog." That comment only reinforced my guess that this case ends in a plea. Assistant coach Mike McQueary is important to the prosecution of Sandusky, but not vital. However, the prosecution of Curley and Schultz rests entirely on McQueary. According to the grand jury report, McQueary testified that he saw a boy being subjected to anal intercourse by Sandusky in a locker-room shower. He reportedly told his father, John, and a family friend, Jon Dranov, though what was actually said is in dispute. But they then advised him to tell Joe Paterno. After speaking with the head coach, McQueary then spoke to Curley and Schultz burberry bags. The charges of perjury and failure to report a crime against Curley and Schultz presuppose that McQueary told them what he saw in 2002 with the same clarity with which he is now testifying. If that's the standard used, they won't be convicted. First, under Pennsylvania law, a "he said/he said" is not enough for a conviction. The prosecution must corroborate McQueary. The possible corroborators, by my count, include John McQueary, Dranov, and Paterno. However, there are problems in each case. At the recent preliminary hearing, John McQueary's version of the events seemed to square more with those of Curley and Schultz than with his own son's. Dranov will reportedly contradict McQueary, and Paterno's statement after his firing suggests he'll do likewise. Second, McQueary's apparent lack of response initially to what he witnessed is devastating to his credibility. "I believed Jerry was sexually molesting him and having some kind of intercourse with him," he recently testified. And when asked by a defense lawyer if "the night that you say you saw this, well, on that night, did you think you saw a crime happening?" McQueary responded: "Yes, to me that is a crime, sir, yes." But if he didn't intervene, and never called the police, can he be trusted when he says he was clear in what he told Curley and Schultz? Third, the night of the alleged abuse, McQueary says he told his father and Dranov what he'd just seen. According to the Harrisburg Patriot-News, Dranov testified to the grand jury that he asked McQueary three times if what he saw was sexual and the answer was no all three times. If that's what Dranov testifies at trial, how will a jury believe that nine or 10 days after the event McQueary was more sexually descriptive with Curley and Schultz? Fourth, JoePa will not be a good prosecution witness. McQueary himself acknowledges that he did not provide graphic details to Paterno ("out of respect and just not getting into detail with someone like Coach Paterno"). He appeared in front of the grand jury for only seven minutes, but his limited words suggest his frailty as a witness. Though he confirmed McQueary said that what he'd seen was of a "sexual nature," how seriously could it have been presented when Paterno also said he was reluctant to intrude on anyone's weekend with a report?

They were randomly selected into two groups

The authors stress that it is the red grape that has the beneficial compounds, and not just red wine. They suggest that women should moncler jackets consider red wine when choosing an alcoholic beverage to consume, rather than encouraging wine over grapes. This study contradicts in part a widespread belief that the consumption of all types of alcoholic drinks raises a woman's chances of developing breast cancer, because alcohol raises estrogen levels, which in turn encourages the growth of cancer cells. However, the researchers found that premenopausal women who consumed eight ounces of red wine every evening for approximately a month, had lower estrogen and higher testosterone levels. They tried out the same with another group of women, but they had to consume white wine - it did not have the same effect. Moderate female alcohol drinkers should perhaps reassess their choices, the authors suggested. Study co-author, Chrisandra Shufelt, MD, wrote: "If you were to have a glass of wine with dinner, moncler jacket you may want to consider a glass of red. Switching may shift your risk." There are over 230,000 new diagnoses of breast cancer each year in the USA - it is the leading type of female cancer in the country, the authors wrote. Approximately 39,000 adult females died from breast cancer in 2011, says the American Cancer Society. The study involved 36 premenopausal females. They were randomly selected into two groups: The red wine group (Cabernet Sauvignon) The white wine group (Chardonnay) For one month, they drank eight ounces of their designated wine every evening. During the second month they swapped groups, i.e. the women on white wine during the first one switched to red wine during the second month. Blood was collected from each participant four times, twice each month, to check for levels of hormones. The scientists wanted to find out the ingredients of red wine might imitate what aromatase inhibitors do. Aromatase inhibitors are drugs that inhibit aromatase, an enzyme which is involved in estrogen levels. Cheap moncler women vest for sale, buy 2011 new style women moncler vest.Aromatase inhibitors are used in breast cancer therapy. They found that red wine lowers estrogen levels, which in turn should stem cancer cell growth. They added that test tube studies had indicated the same thing. Co-author Glenn D. Braunstein, MD, explained that even though white wine (grapes) appears to lack the protective elements found in red wine (grapes), this does not necessarily mean that white wine raises breast cancer risk. Braunstein, said: "There are chemicals in red grape skin and red grape seeds that are not found in white grapes that may decrease breast cancer risk." Braunstein added that a larger study is cheap moncler needed to determine how safe and effective red wine might be in reducing breast cancer risk.

Samsung and LG will join Sony in launching televisions

The U.S. search giant has so far failed to impress the industry with the Internet TV platform it launched in 2010. The interface was seen as too confusing for lay users, and Google suffered setbacks as key supplier Logitech pulled its support after losing over US$100 million, and the major U.S. networks blocked video streaming from their websites. Cheap burberry - designer bags, shoes, accessories, clothing outlet 2012. But with televisions sets now seen as the last frontier for Internet content, after computers, phones and tablets, Google has steadily improved its Android-based platform. Google TV got a major software overhaul in October, and the company has continued to market it to hardware and component makers. On Thursday, Google also said that Taiwanese semiconductor firm MediaTek would create chips for Google TV products, joining Marvell, and allowing more consumer products to enter the market. The new addition could help soften the blow of losing Intel, which opted to pull out of the TV market in October. Burberry bags, cheap burberry handbags outlet, buy 2012 burberry purse. Samsung and LG will join Sony in launching televisions that run Google TV. This means that the top three global TV makers by revenue, according to DisplaySearch's numbers for the third quarter of 2011, now support the platform. U.S. powerhouse Vizio is also launching a new line that supports it. Google's push comes as numerous reports say Apple is hard at work on its own TV platform, which may come as an overhaul of its existing Apple TV box or a completely new television product. A separate battle is unfolding in the race to attract TV content, with online streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon and Hulu in competition to secure popular programming. Google, through its YouTube property, is striving to add higher quality content to the user uploaded variety which made the site popular. Google TV will also run apps on television screens, and the company said it now has more than 150. These include games, content from third-party providers, plus simpler apps burberry bags, like one that plays high-definition video of a fireplace with jazz and rain sounds in the background.

The findings suggest yearly screening for prostate

In the study, which involved about 76,000 men, those who underwent yearly screening for prostate cancerwere just as likely to moncler jackets die from the disease over a 13-year period as those who underwent screening only if their doctor recommended it. The findings suggest yearly screening for prostate cancer is not necessary for most men, the researchers said. Many of the cancers found were slow-growing cancers that would not go on to kill the patient, said study researcher Dr. Gerald Andriole, chief of the division of urologic surgery at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. That's not to say there's no benefit from screening, Andriole said. But screening should be focused on younger, healthy men and those at risk for the disease, such as those with a family history of prostate cancer. "We need to modify our current practices and stop screening elderly men and those with a limited life expectancy," Andriole said. The findings come a few months after the controversial decision by the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force to recommend against routine screening for moncler 2011 prostate cancer in healthy men using the prostate-specific antigen test (PSA). Dr. Bruce Kava, an associate professor of urology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, who was not involved in the new study, said that men, old and young, should speak with their doctors about whether they are candidates for screening. "We shouldn’t be predetermining for patients" whether they should get screened, Kava said. The study involved men in the United States between ages 55 and 74. Participants were randomly assigned to undergo yearly screening — six years of screening with a PSA test and four years with a digital rectal exam — or to receive standard care, which meant being screened only if their doctor recommended it. The researchers reported early results of their study in 2009, when participants had been followed for seven to 10 years. At that time, the data showed that screening did not reduce prostate cancer deaths. However, some argued the follow-up period was not long enough, given that prostate cancer can take many years to be lethal. In the new study, men were followed for at least 10 years, and more than half were followed for 13 years. About 12 percent more cases of prostate cancer were detected in the group that received yearly screening than in the group that received standard care (4,250 cancers in the screening group and 3,815 cancers in the standard care moncler jackets cheap group). However, the number of deaths from prostate cancer were about the same in both groups: 158 deaths in the screening group and 145 deaths in the standard care group. In addition, men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer and had a history of other conditions — such as heart attacks, strokes and diabetes — were much more likely to die of something other than prostate cancer, suggesting that screening finds cancers that aren't likely to be the reason a man dies, the researchers said. A critical flaw in the study is that the doctors of about half of the participants in the standard care group recommended they be screened for prostate cancer, meaning the researchers cannot definitely say that screening for prostate cancer is not beneficial, Kava said. In addition, men with prostate cancer typically live for 15 to 20 years after their diagnoses, and so the follow-up period should be longer still, Kava said. Before men undergo screening for prostate cancer, they should be fully informed about its pros and cons, said study research Philip Prorok, of the National Cancer Institute. Possible harms of prostate cancer screening include unnecessary biopsies and subsequent treatments, which come with a risk of erectile dysfunction and loss of urinary control. An approach known as active surveillance is intended cheap moncler to reduce harms from prostate cancer screening. With active surveillance, men diagnosed with low-risk prostate are be closely monitored, and treated only if their cancer progresses to a more aggressive form.

The lineup is mostly familiar

Google is trying again with Google TV, and on Thursday it announced its partners for the television effort before hardware is unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week. Cheap burberry - designer bags, shoes, accessories, clothing outlet 2012. The lineup is mostly familiar, with LG, Samsung, Sony and Vizio producing Google TV products. Sony has released Google TV television sets and set-top boxes, and Samsung and Vizio both showed off prototype Google TV products at CES last year that never made it to market. Absent from the Google TV hardware lineup this year is Logitech, which gave up on the Internet-connected TV software after its Google TV products failed to catch on with consumers, resulting in more returns than sales in the second quarter of 2011. Marvell and MediaTek will produce chipsets for Google TV products. LG "will showcase a new line of TVs powered by Google TV running on their own L9 chipset at CES," Google said, also noting that Samsung and Sony will have new Google TV devices on the market this year. LG said in its own statement that some of its Google TV sets will be 3-D. Vizio will hold "private demos at CES showcasing their new line of Google TV-powered products," Google said.

The majority of our predictions don’t include these important interactions

Scientist running new climate models find that the world could face massive extinctions if carbon dioxide levels are not greatly reduced in the coming hundred years. The team said recent moncler jackets climate models were flawed in the sense that they do not take into account aspects of animal behavior, which could ultimately lead to increased extinctions. “We have really sophisticated meteorological models for predicting climate change,” said University of Connecticut ecologist Mark Urban, who oversaw the study. “But in real life, animals move around, they compete, they parasitize each other and they eat each other. The majority of our predictions don’t include these important interactions.” The study found that animals unable to regulate their own temperature will likely move to different climates, possibly increasing the number invasive species. The team discovered that animals are traveling an average of eleven miles per decade towards our planets poles, likely in an effort to escape increasingly warm temperatures. Among the more moncler jackets for men extreme examples included one butterfly species that has actually moved over 130 miles north in just two decades. Not all species can disperse fast enough to get to these more suitable places before they die off, Urban said. And if they do make it to these better habitats, they may be outcompeted by the species that are already there – or the ones that got there first, said the study’s authors. “When a species has a small range, it’s more likely to be outcompeted by others,” Mr. Urban says. Moncler mens jackets, cheap moncler jackets for men, 70% off.“It’s not about how fast you can move, but how fast you move relative to your competitors.” The study also found that massive extinctions could occur from an increased rate of habitat destruction. The team noted that the rate of habitat destruction could ultimately force species with limited environments to go extinct at higher rates than previously thought. The team says that animals living in tropical environments were particularly at risk. The study’s authors faulted the simplicity of current models, which have said that extinctions are linked with climate change, however, it remains unclear exactly what impact such changes will have on various species. “Those models are really simplistic, and they’re not including certain things that are really important,” said Mr. Urban. “If we start looking at these complexities in predictive models, we will see striking differences in predictions.” The team noted that the addition cheap moncler of factors, such as migration rates and the intensity of competition from other species during migration, were key to understanding the effects of climate change on various creatures.

Because the vote was so splintered

With more than 96% of returns in, Mr. Santorum, a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, and Mr. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, were separated by only a few dozen votes—each with about a quarter of the total. Texas Rep. Ron Paul of Texas trailed slightly in third place.Cheap burberry - designer bags, shoes, accessories, clothing outlet 2012. The returns illustrate divisions in the Republican Party among three factions: Social conservatives backing Mr. Santorum, a more centrist group backing Mr. Romney, and an unusual coalition of young people, anti-war advocates and limited-government advocates backing Mr. Paul, a libertarian icon. Because the vote was so splintered, the eventual winning margin is likely to rival historic lows. When former Sen. Bob Dole won Iowa in 1996, his 26% showing was the lowest winning percentage in caucus history. Turnout, meanwhile, was similar to four years ago, defying expectations that Iowa Republicans would turn out in huge numbers. The results allow each of the candidates to claim victory as the race moves to New Hampshire, and beyond. Of the three, Mr. Romney has the largest campaign staff and donor network, and he carries a large lead in public opinion surveys of next Tuesday's primary in New Hampshire. But his showing also illustrates the challenges he faces stirring excitement among a large spectrum of conservatives. Other candidates who were once strong in the state—former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann—came in far behind the top performers. The outcome for Mr. Gingrich, who came in a distant fourth with 13% of the vote, marked a steep fall for a candidate who led the pack just weeks ago and still leads in polls in South Carolina and Florida. In remarks to supporters, a defiant Mr. Gingrich said he would stay in to fight. "There will be a great debate in the Republican Party before we are ready to have a great debate with Barack Obama," he said. He also promised to take the fight more directly to Mr. Romney, whose supporters angered Mr. Gingrich by airing a late barrage of attack ads. He said he wouldn't counter with negative ads of his own, but said he did "reserve the right to tell the truth of www.cheapburberryoutlet2012.com." Meantime, Mr. Perry said he would return to Texas to "determine whether there is a path forward" for his campaign. The vote capped a tumultuous campaign that saw no fewer than five front-runners in Iowa since May, and three in just the last month, underscoring Republican uncertainty over which candidate is best suited to go up against President Barack Obama in the fall.

In 2009, 1 in every 30 babies born in the U.S.moncler jackets was a twin, an astounding increase over the 1 in 53 rate in 1980, according to a government report issued Wednesday. “When people say it seems like you see more twins nowadays, they’re right,” said Joyce Martin, an epidemiologist who co-authored the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. Some increase was expected as more women are delaying starting a family until they are over 30. For some unknown reason, mothers in their 30s are more likely to have twins than younger or older women. As much as a third of the increase can be attributed to that, Martin said. The rest of the rise is due to fertility drugs and treatments. “You have a double whammy going on. There are more older moms and more widespread use of fertility-enhancing therapies,” Martin said. Starting in the early 1980s, couples who had trouble conceiving began to benefit from medical advances like fertility drugs and in vitro fertilization and other procedures. These treatments became fairly widespread in the 1990s but are expensive, and availability and insurance coverage varies. The twin birth rate rose by more than 2 percent a year, on average, from 1980 through 2004. It leveled off to less than 1 percent annually although the rise from 2008 to 2009 was nearly 2 percent. In 2009, twin rates increased in all 50 states, though the jumps were highest in lower New England, New Jersey and Hawaii. In Connecticut, twins now account for nearly 5 percent of births. That’s high. Nationally, 3.3 percent of all births cheap moncler jackets were twins in 2009, up from 2 percent in 1980. Over the last three decades, rates rose for white, black and Hispanic women, but the increases were not uniform. Rates doubled for whites, rose by half for blacks and by about a third for Hispanics. Historically, black moms have twins most often, but white moms have almost caught up. “That’s changed with infertility treatments,” said Barbara Luke, a Michigan State University expert on twin births. The greatest increase in twin rates was for women 40 and older. They are more likely to use fertility treatments and to have two embryos implanted during in vitro fertilization, whereas younger women are more likely to get just one. About 7 percent of all births for women 40 and older were twins, compared to 5 percent of women in their late 30s and 2 percent of women age 24 or younger. While a lot of attention is focused on the impact of fertility treatments, that’s not the only factor. Before fertility treatments existed, about 2.5 percent of the babies born to women in their late 30s were twins, compared to under 2 percent for younger and older women. Some research has suggested women in that age group are more likely to produce multiple eggs in a cycle, increasing their chances of twins. Clearly, there are more older moms. In recent years, more than a third of all births have been to women 30 and older, up from just one-fifth in 1980. Take Victoria Jacobson. At 31, she gave birth to twin moncler girls last April — her first children. With no history of twins in her family, and no fertility drugs, it was a big surprise when she found out at six months pregnant. “I cried, because I’m more of a realist. My husband laughed,” said Jacobson, of Glen Ellyn, Ill. “They were not tears of joy. Maybe shock, more than anything.” Still, Jacobson doesn’t find the new report on twin births surprising. A good friend had twins four months after Jacobson’s girls were born. “I’m stopped at every corner and in every store” by mothers who also have twins, or who know of other twins, she says. “I never knew how many twins were around until I got twins.” Are more twins good news? Some experts say the trend is worrisome, noting that multiple births are more dangerous for the mother and their babies. The infants tend to be born earlier, smaller and weaker, and require much more care. Jacobsons’ twins arrived a month early and were tiny, about 3 pounds each. They had to be cared for in a hospital intensive care unit, and one needed a ventilator at first cheap moncler to help her breathe. At 8 months, they are still small, but healthy and doing fine. Still, they don’t sleep through the night, and breastfeeding two and getting them on the same schedule hasn’t been easy, she said. Despite the challenges, she has this advice to other moms of twins: Don’t “think about it as double trouble. It’s still a double blessing.”
