Sana'a: Government troops and army-allied tribesmen ceaselessly pounded Al Qaida's main strongholds in the south, as the country buried one hundred soldiers killed this week in the capital, local sources said.  cheap michael kors watches online 

The government-run Saba news agency reported on Thursday  that at least 35 militants were killed in Ja'ar town in the fiercest military assault in Abyan since militants took control of some cities in the south last year. 

Ministry of defence also said that army troops managed to destroy many of militants defenses in Ja'ar and Zinjebar. Cheap Michael Kors satchels

A military source told the ministry's website that the government troops advanced toward the outskirts of Zinjebar city, the capital of Abyan and drove out militants from nearby mountains.

Minister of defense, Mohammed Nasser Ahmed  and security chefs paid their last respects to dozens soldiers who were killed in suicide attack in the capital on Monday during parade rehearsal. Al Qaida in Yemen claimed responsibly for the attack and said the killing of the soldiers was payback for army ongoing offensive in Abyan. Michael Kors shoes outlet

Addressing somber ceremony on Tuesday, the chief of staff of the Yemeni military, Maj. Gen. Ahmed Ali al Ashwal, announced that army is close to purge Al Qaida militants from all areas that they control in the south."We will not let terrorism destroy our future and dreams," he said.

Supporters and critics of President Obama’s endorsement of same-sex marriage agree on one thing: He may not be finished evolving on the subject.

Despite his comments that he thinks the matter should be left to the states, many gay rights advocates strongly believe that it must be dealt with nationally — and that Obama is quietly on their side. Conservative critics of the president suspect the same, citing this as one way the president might tack left if reelected.  cheap michael kors watches online 

And some Obama supporters who are uncomfortable with same-sex marriage fear that in a second term, he would come under enormous pressure to back efforts to impose the legalization of such unions at the federal level.

 “For right now, he has said he is going to leave it to the states. Whether he continues to ‘evolve’ — his word — toward further action, I can’t know that,” said the Rev. Joel Hunter, a spiritual adviser to the president who opposes same-sex marriage. “I can tell you without a doubt there’s a lot of fear right now from religious communities . . . about where it’s all going to go.” Michael Kors shoes outlet

In particular, they are worried that the president’s preference for state-by-state recognition will give way to the view that same-sex marriage is a guaranteed right under the Constitution. That issue is at the heart of a case that could come before the Supreme Court in its term beginning in October: It involves Proposition 8, a voter-approved California constitutional amendment that bans gay marriage.

Obama opposed Proposition 8. But if the court accepts the case, it could ask the administration for its view on whether marriage is a fundamental right that cannot be withheld from gay couples. Such a finding could sweep away state decisions on same-sex marriage, as well as the bans in 30 state constitutions. Discount Michael Kors jet set bag ,

“He’ll have to decide whether he believes the Constitution recognizes gays’ or lesbians’ equality as far as marriage is concerned,” said Theodore B. Olson, a Republican former solicitor general who is a lead lawyer challenging Proposition 8. “That’s not reconcilable with leaving it up to the states.”

It is part of a broader uncertainty stemming from the president’s decision this month to come out in favor of same-sex marriage, a shift that has upended the politics of one of the nation’s most divisive social issues and injected a wild card into the presidential race.

LONDON (Dow Jones)--European stock markets are set to drop at Wednesday's open after a former Greek prime minister said preparations for an exit from the euro zone are being considered, damping optimism ahead of a European Union summit. Discount Oakley Fuel Cell Sunglasses

Former Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos also told Dow Jones Newswires late Tuesday that there is only limited room for the country to negotiate its loan program. He later clarified his comments about preparations for Greece leaving the euro zone in an interview with CNBC.

Papademos said there are no preparations underway in Greece for a possible exit of the euro, and he is unaware of any specific preparations in European institutions or other European countries. "Irrespective of his turnaround, the damage to sentiment has been done and markets are set to open in a risk-off mood," said Jonathan Sudaria, a dealer with Capital Spreads. oakley flak jacket sunglasses reviewsC

Sudaria called the U.K.'s FTSE 100 index to open around 61 points lower at 5342, Germany's DAX index down by 92 points at 6344 and France's CAC-40 index lower by 40 points at 3047.

"The market tone remains one of selling risk on rallies. Unless there are dramatic developments at today's European Union summit, risk assets are set to continue to remain under pressure," said Credit Agricole.

Enthusiasm for the EU summit, partly responsible for some of the gains in global markets in the last two sessions, started to diminish by early Wednesday. EU leaders are set to discuss the recent developments of the euro-zone debt crisis, but EU President Herman Van Rompuy has clearly poured some cold water on expectations that the meeting could lead to final decisions on the themes that will be discussed. Discount Oakley Asian Fit sunglass

Euro-zone bonds will be one of the main topics of discussion although internal divisions between Germany and France on the subject haven't diminished. Leaders are also expected to discuss a number of measures to boost growth and productivity in the euro area, aimed at counterbalancing the effects of the

On Wall Street Tuesday, stocks finished broadly flat as investors considered comments by Papademos. After a 71-point rise, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost nearly 2 points to close at 12,502.81, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index was up nearly 1 point at 1,316.63.

Asian markets fell Wednesday, with Japan's Nikkei 225 off 2.1%, Australia's S&P ASX 200 down 1.2%, and Korea's Kospi lower by 1.3%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index dropped 1.9% and China's Shanghai Composite fell 0.9%. Cheap Oakley Active Sunglasses

 

 

Supreme Court rejects widow's claim in Social Security case

WASHINGTON — A widow who conceived a baby from the sperm of her late husband is not automatically entitled to Social Security survivors benefits to help raise the child, the Supreme Court ruled Monday.  cheap michael kors watches online 

The 9-0 decision rejected the claim that a biological child of a married couple, even one born years after the father died, always qualifies as his survivor under the Social Security Act.

Instead, the justices upheld the government's multi-part definition of who deserves survivors benefits. One requirement is that a "natural child" is one who is entitled to inherit the father's property under state law.

"Tragic circumstances gave rise to this case," said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, noting that Robert Capato died of cancer in Florida in 2002 before he and his wife, Karen, could have the family they envisioned. He deposited sperm in a sperm bank after he got sick.

About 18 months after his death, his widow gave birth to twins who were conceived through in vitro fertilization. She sought survivors benefits for the two children, contending that since they were the children of a married father, they should receive benefits he had earned. michael kors outlet bags

The Social Security Administration said it was sympathetic but rejected her claim. It pointed to regulations that define a "natural child" as one who could inherit the father's property under state law. Under Florida law, "children conceived after a parent's death" are not entitled to inherit his property, Ginsburg said. The children were not named in his will.

Ginsburg said the court was obliged to follow the law as Congress wrote it. Her opinion in Astrue vs. Capato said the result might well be different in other states. In California, "posthumously conceived children" can inherit property "if the child is in utero within two years of a parent's death," she said. The laws in Colorado, Iowa, Louisiana and North Dakota have similar provisions, she said. Discount Michael Kors jet set bag ,

In a second decision, the court made it harder for illegal immigrants to avoid deportation by arguing their immigrant parents had obtained legal status as lawful U.S. residents.

One provision in federal immigration law permits leniency for an illegal immigrant who faces possible deportation but who had been granted lawful residence status for at least five years. Until Monday, it was unclear whether undocumented children could take advantage of their parents' legal status. Michael Kors shoes outlet

The issue can arise when illegal immigrants are charged with crimes that could subject them to deportation. In a 9-0 decision, the court agreed with the government that individuals must earn their own leniency through years of lawful residence. A parent's legal residence is not transferred to a child, the court said in Holder vs. Martinez-Gutierrez.

The ruling reverses a decision from the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, which was alone in adopting the more liberal rule that allowed children to take advantage of their parents' legal status.

"Welcome! Death to the West!" That is how the Dictator greeted MTV News' Josh Horowitz when he sat down with him for an interview. Discount Michael Kors jet set bag ,

Sacha Baron Cohen's latest infamous character is Admiral General Aladeen, a dictator who oppresses his people and dislikes democracy. In "The Dictator," he's mistaken for a refugee and taken under the wing of Zoey, played by Anna Faris. Aladeen's misadventures in America lead to an array of hilarious culture clashes. Thus, the interview was nothing less than we'd expect — offensive, outrageous and, yes, very, very funny.

After inquiring about Horowitz's knowledge of the rapper Tupac Shakur, the Dictator reveals it was him who killed the MC. "He came to play at my birthday party and all the time he get on the microphone, and you know what he tell me?" Aladeen questioned. "You know what he tell me? He said, 'Put your hands' — he ordered me! — he ordered me to put my hands in the air and wave them like I just don't care. Why would I, Dictator, wave my hands like I don't care? I wave my hands like I do care, like this. I don't do it like I don't care. How dare he come to my palace and my birthday and tell me how to wave my hands like I don't care? I care about the hands!"

 cheap michael kors watches online   Apparently someone forgot to inform the tyrant that it's a figure of speech here in America.

"To put your hands in the air like you don't care?" he continued. "You think Hitler put his hands in the air like he don't care? It was a very careful gesture that he did. I won't do it here. And this Biggie Smalls, he then performed the next night for my weekend of birthday. That fat bastard ate all of the buffet. It cost over 120 Euros per head."

Note to self: Eat before heading to Aladeen's palace. Although, it's possible not much eating will take place on a trip to his home. Shortly after assuring Horowitz he has nothing to worry about and sliding a gun on the table between them, he talked of his latest tryst with reality-TV star Kim Kardashian. Michael Kors shoes outlet

"I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of [stars in America] that come to the palace and negotiate with the pimps," he said. "Kim Kardashian, she came two weeks ago. I negotiated with her pimp, who is also her mother. Three-hundred-thousand dollars for one hour — not bad. Good rate."

But Kardashian isn't the only American entertainer the Dictator is fond of. He happens to enjoy Snooki and has a list of movies he's enjoyed — one of which is definitely in the wrong category. michael kors outlet bags

MIAMI — In an attempt to clear the voter rolls of noncitizens, a move that had set off criticism and a threatened lawsuit, Florida election officials decided on Thursday to use information from a federal database to check a list of 182,000 voters who they suspect are not citizens, officials said. oakley flak jacket sunglasses reviews

Since last year, the Florida Division of Elections had sought access to the immigration database, which is maintained by the Department of Homeland Security, but the department said there were legal and technical difficulties in sharing the information.

On Thursday, the elections division asked the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, which oversees driver’s licenses and originally compiled the list of 182,000 names, to use its access to the federal database to update its records and cross-check the names.

The state was found to be using a flawed process to pinpoint noncitizens on the voter rolls by relying on an outdated driver’s license database. Some of the people on an initial list of 2,700 possible noncitizens sent to county election supervisors were either naturalized citizens or were born in the United States. Discount Oakley Asian Fit sunglass

Election supervisors were asked to send letters to these voters, requiring them to provide proof of citizenship within 30 days, or their names would be dropped from the registration roll. In recent days, some of the supervisors had expressed concern over the validity of the state’s search.

The Division of Elections said it would pay the Department of Highway Safety’s costs for updating its driver’s license database and checking the voter names.

“Our goal is to make sure the process to remove ineligible voters from the voter rolls is as thorough and reliable as possible,” said Chris Cate, a spokesman for the Division of Elections. “We have actively pursued gaining access to D.H.S.’s database, but we have made little progress toward accessing their information directly.” Cheap Oakley Active Sunglasses

The state’s attempt to scrub registration rolls of illegal voters had come under fire because of the timing — less than seven months before a presidential election — and because the state itself could not guarantee the accuracy of its rolls. The move comes amid other efforts by Florida’s Republican-led Legislature and Gov. Rick Scott to tighten voter registration and reduce the number of early voting days, to combat potential voter fraud. Those measures, which were approved in 2011, have been challenged in court. Florida has more than 11 million registered voters. ,  oakley dispatch sunglass online

Stars like our sun can release "superflares," explosions of up to 10,000 times more energy than the solar flares seen from our sun, researchers say. oakley flak jacket sunglasses reviewsC

However, it looks unlikely that our sun currently has superflares, scientists added.

Astronomers have previously detected superflares from a variety of star types, which release bursts that have 10 to 10,000 times more energy than the largest solar flare ever detected from our sun. Scientists wanted to know how common these outbursts might be from stars like the sun — those with masses and temperatures similar to our star. Even normal solar flares can damage satellites, endanger astronauts and wreak havoc on electrical grids on Earth, suggesting that superflares might be catastrophic to life on Earth.

Until now, few superflares have been detected from sunlike stars. This rarity has hampered detailed analysis of what might cause them to happen. Now, with NASA's Kepler planet-hunting satellite, researchers have a way to analyze many sunlike stars at once. The scientists monitored about 83,000 sunlike stars over 120 days and detected 365 superflares from 148 of the stars, each lasting one to 12 hours. Discount Oakley Sunglasses,

Slowly rotating solar-type stars were responsible for only 101 of the superflares seen in the sample. This suggests that slowly whirling stars like our sun have superflares much less often than rapidly spinning ones. [ Video: No Chance of Superflares Destroying Earth in 2012 ]

Somewhat regular fluctuations in the brightness of the superflaring stars hints they all possess large starspots, much larger than the sunspots seen on our sun. This suggests they are caused by magnetic activity of the stars, just as solar flares are linked with sunspots and solar magnetic activity. Rapidly spinning stars are expected to experience more magnetic activity than slower-whirling ones, which likely explains why they have more superflares.

Cheap Oakley Active Sunglasses Scientists had thought superflares of sunlike stars were caused by magnetic interactions between the stars and so-called hot Jupiters — gas giant planets orbiting extraordinarily near their stars, at a tenth or less of the distance of Mercury from our sun. However, the researchers found that no hot Jupiters were discovered around any of the superflaring stars they studied, suggesting that superflares from sunlike stars are actually only rarely linked with hot Jupiters.

On average, sunlike stars appear to release superflares 100 times stronger than any known solar flare about once every 800 years, and flares 1,000 times stronger than solar flares about every 5,000 years, researchers estimated. Still, that might not mean that a superflare 100 times stronger than any known solar flare really happens every 800 years — for instance, a sunlike star might release 100 superflares in 10 years, but then no more for another 79,990 years, which would still produce the same average, said study lead author Hiroyuki Maehara, an astronomer at Kyoto University in Japan.

China, Philippines Fishing Ban Defuses Tensions

A territorial squabble between China and the Philippines over a small group of islands in the South China Sea has not evolved into a going green agreement.  But a decision by both countries to implement a ban on fishing in the region has helped to temporarily defuse tensions between them.  cheap michael kors watches  

From May 16 – August 1, China said it will stop fishing in an area that encompasses the Scarborough Shoal (Huangyan Island to the Chinese), a small group of islands it claims as part of its territory.

The Philippines responded by announcing plans for its own fishing ban in the area. While Philippine Foreign Minister Albert del Rosario said called it an opportunity to replenish the rich fishing grounds, his statement was preface by a comment that was more direct to the issue.

“We do not recognize China’s fishing ban inasmuch as portions of the ban encompass our Exclusive Economic Zone,” Rosario said, referring to the 200-nautical-mile zone granted to the Philippines under the United Nations’ Convention on the Law of the Sea.

More Than A Few RocksMichael Kors shoes outlet

While the Scarborough Shoal is more than 750 nautical miles from China and 200 nautical miles from The Philippines, it is at the heart of a long-running dispute between the two.  The latest showdown began on April 8 when China blocked an attempt by Philippine officials to arrest Chinese fisherman for fishing illegally in the area.

The territorial dispute over the Scarborough Shoal is one of two involving China and the Philippines in the South China Sea.  The Spratly Islands, a group of about 45 islands, are also claimed by Vietnam, Taiwan, and Malaysia. The value of these few rocks in the sea, however, goes well beyond fishing rights. Cheap Michael Kors satchels

Geologists believe that certain areas of the South China Sea contain enormous reserves of oil and natural gas. “I’ve seen estimates that the South China Sea has oil reserves that are approximately 80% of those held by Saudi Arabia,” said Kim Bergmann, editor of two Australian publications, Asia-Pacific Defense Reporter and Defense Review Asia.

The presence of large oil and natural gas deposits make the region of great interest to   the United States and India because their companies are involved in exploring for oil and natural gas – as are the Chinese.

It is also an extremely significant body of water in a geopolitical sense as well. It is the second most used sea lane in the world.  “It’s a flashpoint that could have consequences that go well beyond the region,” said Bergmann. ,Michael Kors jet set bag

 

Facebook will raise stock price, could be first U.S. company worth $100 billion at IPO

Facebook will raise the price of shares for its initial public offering, possibly vaulting the world's most popular social network to the first $100 billion valuation of a U.S. company at the time of its public debut. oakley flak jacket sunglasses reviews

A source told the Mercury News on Monday that Facebook will increase the range of possible prices for the Menlo Park company's initial shares, raising the maximum price to $38. At that price, Facebook would be valued at more than $104 billion and bring in $12.8 billion. The largest U.S. IPO valuation on record is shipping company UPS at $60 billion, according to Dealogic records.

Early voting begins is under way

 Early voting for the May 29 Republican and Democratic primary elections begins Monday and continues through May 25.

The polls are open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays; 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday; and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.  cheap michael kors watches  

According to Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart, the Republican ballot includes 201 candidates vying for 99 offices at various levels of government; the Democratic Party has 149 candidates vying for 94 positions.

Voters will choose nominees for Congress, the Texas Legislature, the Texas Railroad Commission, state and local judicial seats, district attorney, constable positions and sheriff, among others.

Any qualified voter can cast a ballot in a primary election, although the voter must choose between the Republican Primary and the Democratic Primary. michael kors outlet bags

Photo ID not required

There are 37 early voting locations across Harris County. Qualified voters can cast their ballots at the location of their choice. Harris County voters can find polling locations at www.harrisvotes.org or by calling the County Clerk's Office at 713-755-6965. Voters also can go to the secretary of state's web site, www.votetexas.gov., for polling locations.

The Texas Legislature passed a voter ID law last year, requiring registered voters to present photo identification before casting a ballot. The U.S. Department of Justice has refused to approve it and the law remains tied up in court, meaning the law may not be enforced.

That means a voter needs only a Texas Voter Registration Card. In lieu of a voter registration card, a voter can present a driver's license, a passport or a similar official document.

Ballot by mail

Registered voters are eligible to request and receive a ballot by mail if any of the following conditions prevents them from voting in-person during the early voting period or on Election Day:  Cheap Michael Kors satchels

1 Expected absence from the County during both the early voting period and on election day. (The ballot must be mailed to an address outside the County.)

1 Disability

1 65 years of age or older

1 Confinement in jail and not finally convicted of a felony

Traditionally held in March, the Texas primaries were delayed by legal action over the state's redistricting process. July 31 has been set for any races that require runoffs.

The general election is Nov. 6. ,Michael Kors tote bag
