GOODYEAR, Ariz. - The Indians are going down a familiar path with a star pitcher. Cleveland has suspended talks on a contract extension with ace Justin Masterson, agreeing that its time to focus on the upcoming season. Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said Friday that the club made a "very competitive" offer to Masterson, but the sides couldnt find common ground. Negotiations broke down with agent Randy Rowley on Thursday. "I met with Justin this morning," Antonetti said. "At this point we both agreed to table discussions on a multiyear contract and potentially revisit it down the road. But right now the focus will be on preparing for the season." Masterson, who avoided arbitration and agreed to a one-year, $9.726 million salary for 2014, can become a free agent after the season. The right-hander is scheduled to pitch on opening day against Oakland on March 31. Antonetti said the sides may discuss a new deal at a later unspecified time. "We made an earnest effort to find common ground and get something done. In the end we werent able to align," Antonetti said. "We have a profound belief in Justin. He embodies everything we want our players to be. Hes a great teammate, a great person and an exceptional performer. "There remains a desire from our side that he remains here long term. I believe hed like to be here long term." Masterson reportedly gave the Indians proposals on two- and three-year contracts at roughly $17 million per season. The Indians are believed to have offered packages at $14 million per year. The 6-foot-6, 250-pound Masterson is scheduled to pitch on Friday against Colorado. The situation isnt a new one for the Indians, who were unable to reach long-term deals in the past with CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee and were forced to trade the former Cy Young Award winners. Masterson emerged as the staffs No. 1 starter last season, when he went 14-10 with a 3.45 ERA. He made the All-Star team for the first time. Its the Indians preference not to negotiate any player contracts during the season, the team is aware of fan reaction concerning the teams long-term goals. "We are fortunate that Justin is here for this season," Antonetti said. "There will be other junctures where we can explore an extension with him — its just not right now. We dont want any distractions but if there is a right time to talk about it, were open to it." The Indians signed outfielder Michael Brantley to a four-year, $25 million contract last month. Theyve had preliminary talks with All-Star second baseman Jason Kipnis about an extension, and they could be facing a decision with shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, who is in the final year of his contract. Antonetti said the six-year, $105 million contract pitcher Homer Bailey signed with Cincinnati has an influence on the teams talks with Masterson. Bailey is 24-22 the last two seasons while Masterson is 25-25. "Thats one of the contract extensions thats in the marketplace," Antonetti said. "We are very cognizant of that contract but there are others. We made an earnest effort to offer Justin a contract that was fair relative to the marketplace, but we didnt attach it, nor do we ever, attach it to any one contract specifically." Antonetti would not discuss the possibility of a new deal for Kipnis. Manager Terry Francona does not expect the breakdown of negotiations to negatively affect Masterson — or his teammates. "It wont affect his performance," Francona said. "I dont know how it doesnt affect you. Its a big part of your life, but I think Mastys got his act together. Ive never seen someone who had his priorities together as much as Masty." Francona believes there will be discussion in the clubhouse, but believes his team will stay focused. "I bet the guys will be bummed out a little. I think they all like him and Chris (Antonetti) wanted to get it done or he wouldnt have tried but it doesnt carry over," he said. "Thats the way the game is. Thats why they set the deadline, lets not let this go into the season. "Realistically, you cant sign everybody you want to or everybody would be signed. For the Indians to be talking to him about that type of money, shows how much they like him," he added. "Just because you dont get a deal done doesnt mean you dont respect or care about that player. It has to fit into the parameter of the team." Adidas Superstar 2 Heren . The halftime video session worked.

The Coyotes have been able to ice a consistently competitive squad on a budget -- even missing the playoffs the past two seasons, their cumulative points percentage was . CHICAGO -- Corey Crawford and the Chicago Blackhawks did just fine without captain Jonathan Toews on Tuesday night. The Detroit Red Wings had a much more difficult time without their star centre. Crawford made 31 saves and the Blackhawks beat the Red Wings 2-1 in a matchup of depleted Central Division rivals. "Corey was rock solid," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "He was big, strong, controlled rebounds. They put a lot of bodies in traffic at the net. They test you on almost every shift. I thought he was excellent." Jimmy Hayes scored the tying goal in the second period and set up Marcus Krugers winning score in the third as Chicago earned its fourth consecutive victory since a nine-game losing streak. "We stayed patient all game," Kruger said. "Even down one goal, we stuck with our plan and found a way to win." Valtteri Filppula scored for NHL-leading Detroit, which had won six in a row. Jimmy Howard had 27 stops in his first action since being sidelined for two-plus weeks with a broken right index finger. "I thought we played about 10 good minutes to start the game and then I thought we were careless with the puck and made poor mental decisions," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "I didnt think we gave ourself much of chance." While Howard was back in the net for the first time since Feb. 2 at Vancouver, the Red Wings were without leading scorer Pavel Datsyuk. The dynamic centre had arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to remove fragments from his right knee and is expected to be sidelined for two weeks. Datsyuk leads the Red Wings with 43 assists and 59 points, playing a key role in Detroits record 23-game home winning streak. The Red Wings host Vancouver on Thursday. "Pavs been out before and hes a huge part of our team but were going to need guys to step up," Howard said. "This is an opportunity for other guys now to play in a role maybe theyre not used to playing in, maybe getting some more ice time, and theyre going to find a way to get it done for us." Chicago was missing Toews, who was scratched with an upper-body injury and is day to day. "In 82 games, youre going to play without some players on any given night," forward Patrick Sharp said. "Losing him was big, but we rallied around each other and all stepped up." Hayes skated behind the Detroit net early in the third and threw it in front, where Kruger slammed in his own rebound to give the Blackhawks a 2-1 lead just 1:53 into the period.dddddddddddd. Crawford and the Blackhawks defence took it from there, tying up Detroit and preventing any great chances to tie it up in the waning moments. "The second half of the third, I dont remember them having any chances," Crawford said. "We played solid, everyone was coming back hard." The Blackhawks evened the season series at two games apiece while improving to 7-1 in their last eight home games. The Blackhawks got off to a slow start without their captain and the Red Wings took advantage. Kruger was sent off for tripping just 34 seconds into the game and Filppula sent a wrister over Crawfords right leg to give Detroit a 1-0 lead at 2:22. Chicago turned up the pressure late in the opening period and carried it over to the second, forcing Howard to make a handful of outstanding stops. Patrick Kane made a perfect pass to Sharp in the mouth of the Detroit goal, but Howard got over to kick it away. Michael Frolik skated in on a breakaway after Ian White fell down in the second and Howard kicked that one away, too. Chicago finally broke through at 7:45 of the second when Duncan Keiths shot from the left point squirted through to White, who pushed it into the wide-open net for his fifth goal of the season. Detroit could have a different defensive look when it takes the ice against the Canucks. The Red Wings acquired Kyle Quincey on Tuesday in a three-team deal that also involved Tampa Bay and Colorado. The Lightning traded forward Steve Downie to the Avalanche for Quincey, who was shipped to the Red Wings for a first-round draft pick and minor league defenceman Sebastien Piche. Quincey was drafted by Detroit in 2003, and played a role as the Red Wings reached the Western Conference finals in 2007. "Were thrilled to have him back," Babcock said. "Obviously, we think the deeper you are in the back and the better you move the puck the better chance you have to be successful." NOTES: Red Wings F Dan Cleary was activated from injured reserve and played against the Blackhawks. He missed the previous five games with a lower body injury. ... Chicago swapped minor league forwards with Tampa Bay, sending Brandon Segal to the Lightning for Matt Fornataro. ...

The Buffalo Sabres will play on the road against the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night but they wont be seeing Ryan Miller in the opposing goal. The Blues said on Wednesday that Brian Elliott will get the start against the Sabres. Miller was asked if he was disappointed about head coach Ken Hitchcocks decision to have him sit out the game against the team that traded him on Feb. 28. "There will be a lot of time to worry about that later," Miller told media after practice. "Its pretty fresh leaving that situation, so maybe its just a nice little break." Miller said hes looking forward to having his former teammates in town, but admits it will be strange to compete against them. "Its a group of guys that I played with for a number of years and it will be a little bit different. Theyre all great guys and guys I count as friends and Im looking forward to seeing them," said Miller. Hitchcock said with seven games left on the regular season schedule, he has talked to both Elliott and Miller about who will play which games down the stretch. "We want to make sure both guys get what they need," explained Hitchcock. St. Louis has 109 points, three more than the Anaheim Ducks and four ahead of the San Jose Sharks as the clubs chase the top seed in the Western Conference. Coach Handbags Black Friday UK .

INDIANAPOLIS -- The hard part for the Indiana Pacers isnt over. It takes time to climb out of a slump. "Once youre not playing well and you finally get a win, the hardest part is maintaining that consistency," Paul George said. "You have to understand that its going to be different every night, but you got to find a way to build off the first win." George had 27 points and 13 rebounds, David West scored 15 points and the Indiana Pacers snapped a three-game skid with a 101-94 win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. George hit a 3-pointer from 35-feet to give the Pacers a 94-90 lead with 3:19 remaining and Indiana never trailed the rest of the way. Josh Smith scored 15 of his 24 points in the first quarter and finished with five rebounds, and Greg Monroe added 16 points for the Pistons, who have lost four of their last five games. Brandon Jennings hit a 3 to get Detroit within 94-93 before George scored, forced a turnover and West hit a jumper to give the Pacers a 98-93 lead with 1:35 left to play. "We were locked in really early in this game," George said. "They made a late push when we were up a good eight points, they made a pretty good push. But I felt our guys were locked in throughout this whole game." Georges two free throws with 8:54 left in the third gave Indiana a 58-50 lead. The Pistons bounced back with a 9-0 run and Rodney Stuckey hit a 3-pointer to give Detroit a 74-73 lead with 13 seconds left in the third. The Pacers gave fans mixed signals. At times Indianas sluggish play showed signs of a team that continues to struggle with chemistry, shooting and turnovers. The Pistons scored 17 points off 10 Indiana turnovers. At other times the Pacers looked like the same old team fans were used to before the All-Star break. Bankers Life Fieldhouse was abnormally silent when the Pistons went on an 8-0 run midway through the first quarter and took a 23-14 lead after Monroe scored with 4:19 left in the opening quarter. Then the Pacers showed signs of life. They went on a 12-2 spurt to close out the first. George scored to give the Pacers a 28-27 lead with 20 seconds leeft in the first.dddddddddddd. Evan Turner dunked and West scored to give the Pacers a 35-32 lead with 8:03 remaining in the second quarter. "We had good pace, we threw it up the floor, we attacked," Pistons interim coach John Loyer said. "I cant fault the way our guys played. They competed their butts off against the best team in the East." The Pistons went on an 8-0 run to take 40-35 lead with 5:13 left in the second quarter. Stephenson then sparked a 10-0 surge with a one-handed dunk and George closed it out with a 3 to give the Pacers a 45-40 advantage with 3:20 left in the half. Georges free throw with 31 seconds left in the second gave the Pacers a 50-46 lead at halftime. The Pistons handed Indiana its first home loss of the season, 101-96 back on Dec. 16 -- one of the few positives for Detroit this season. The Pacers won twice in Detroit, including a 112-104 overtime win on March 15. Indiana hopes Wednesdays win over the Pistons is the start to getting back to playing at the level they were. "You get a win, but you have to string a couple together," Pacers centre Roy Hibbert said. "Winning is hard work. We have to see if we can keep it going." It wont be easy. The Pacers play three of their next four games on the road. They go to Toronto on Friday and will host Atlanta on Sunday before going on the road to Milwaukee and Miami next week. They host Oklahoma City on April 13 in Indianas final home game before the playoffs. NOTES: Detroit G Chauncey Billups was out after left knee surgery. ...

present in his voice that might not have always been there.Lanegan s music is not hopeful; the most inspirational thing about it is the fact that he s still around to make it.He acts like he sounds.During Tuesday night s show at Toronto s Mod Club, Lanegan stood in the centre of the low-lit stage, band around him, dressed in black, rocking in place and not making any more eye contact than absolutely necessary.He thanked the crowd after Resurrection Song (off 2001 s Field Songs), the sixth of the evening s 20 songs, and introduced the members of his band at one point.Occasionally after a song, he d purse his lips and roll his rotator cuff like he d just thrown a no-chance strikeout.I think he towelled his face off once.Other than those manic outbursts, he was a gargoyle, filling the packed room with his deep and solemn moans, giving no s ts whatsoever.The setlist spanned much of his career, going back as far as 1994 s Whiskey For The Holy Ghost and including a few Screaming Trees songs for good measure.He devoted plenty of time to Blues Funeral, though, an album that is less reliant on the lonesome dirges of records past and come.

dominanceRussian President Vladimir Putin scores eight goals in exhibition game with former NHL starsRussia has thousands of troops fighting in Ukraine Mermaid Bridal Dresses Outlet , report by murdered Putin critic saysRussia charges two Chechen men over assassination of Putin critic Boris NemtsovKadyrov s protective shield started to crack after Nemtsov was gunned down on Feb.just outside the Kremlin, and federal investigators quickly tracked down and arrested five alleged perpetrators, all Chechen.The suspected triggerman was an officer in Kadyrov s police force.The top brass in Russian law-enforcement agencies, who have always detested the Chechen leader, saw Nemtsov s killing as an opportunity to settle scores.But Putin, while calling the slaying a disgrace for Russia, awarded Kadyrov with a medal underlining his support.The Chechen leader was at first openly defiant, praising the suspected triggerman as a good patriot and a deeply religious man.When federal investigators tried to get to another key suspect, a senior officer in the Chechen police force, they were unable to interrogate him in Chechnya, where he enjoyed police protection.Despite the setback, federal law enforcers kept up the pressure.In April, police in southern Russia made a surprise foray into Chechnya to nab a suspect in a separate criminal case, and shot the man dead when he resisted arrest.A day later, a furious Kadyrov ordered his forces to shoot to kill any police from outside the region if they dared to venture into Chechnya.With the brash statement, Kadyrov sought to burnish his credentials as a ruler on par with Putin and above federal law.He may have hoped that Putin would side with him once again.But Kadyrov miscalculated.While Putin did not publicly comment A-line Bridal Dresses Outlet , his spokesman said in a steely statement that Chechen police should unconditionally obey federal authority.Realizing his blunder, Kadyrov quickly backed off and offered new pledges of loyalty, saying he would step down if ordered to do so.The tensions have abated, but the investigation into Nemtsov s killing remains deadlocked.The latest blow to Kadyrov came earlier this month, when a leading independent newspaper reported that the 46-year-old Guchigov was forcing a 17-year-old into becoming his second wife by blocking her village so she couldn t leave.It makes no sense to replace himKadyrov stood by the police chief, saying the girl and her family voluntarily agreed to the wedding.The Chechen leader also fired his information minister, accusing him of failing to quash what he described as slanderous reports.The teenage bride, blushing and looking down, told a news portal controlled by the Kremlin that she faced no intimidation.The Russian children s rights ombudsman also said he looked into the case and found no violations.The wedding took place Saturday in Chechnya s capital, with the bride looking stiff as she was escorted by Kadyrov s black-clad chief of staff.The quiet resolution of the scandal signaled that Moscow had decided that Kadyrov had been taught a lesson and there was no need to push things further.In past years, Kadyrov s men have operated with impunity not just in Chechnya but also on the streets of Moscow.In 2008, one of Kadyrov s most prominent foes was shot dead just outside Russian government headquarters.Several Chechens were convicted of perpetrating the attack, but the organizers have never been found.Two years earlier, another Kadyrov rival with ties to federal security was shot and killed in central Moscow.Russian media reported that Chechen businessmen have dramatically expanded their clout in Moscow under Kadyrov, and some members of his feared security forces have been permanently deployed there to help protect Chechen interests and act as musclemen in business disputes.Some reports claimed that Chechens have even challenged the murky economic interests of Russia s law enforcement agencies, which have considered themselves omnipotent under Putin.With a multi-pronged attack on Kadyrov Discount Junior Bridesmaid Dresses , federal law-enforcement chiefs clearly want to reorder the rules of the game and strip Kadyrov of his exclusive status.Putin himself may welcome the idea, sensing that the Chechen strongman was shaking his vertical of power.I wouldn t exclude Kadyrov s dismissal, Shvedov said, arguing that the Chechen s purported role as a guarantor of stability may be overestimated, and that a new conflict in Chechnya was unlikely even if he were arrested, because Kadyrov s men wouldn t take up arms against Putin.But others believe that Putin still sees Kadyrov as key to Chechen peace.Alexei Malashenko, a Chechnya expert with Carnegie Endowment s Moscow office, said that Kadyrov has reaffirmed his special status by pushing through the wedding despite the media uproar.He said that while tensions between Kadyrov and law enforcement chiefs will likely continue, Putin can be expected to stand by the strongman.It makes no sense to replace him, he said.It will lead to infighting and instability in Chechnya.does not feature his most

their union.Archival photos and home movies show them jet-setting around the world from just after jets had been invented.Her sense of style and design is polyglottal, stretching from New York’s boroughs to the far side of the Earth.She credits her mom with telling her to buy a little black dress; notes that she kept her wedding shoes on the assumption that everything will come back into style if you give it long enough; and claims to have been the first woman to wear jeans in the 1940s.I don’t know if I believe that last claim, but I won’t fight her on it.Her celebrity client.

of the late 1980s and '90s Bridesmaid Dresses Outlet , high-fashion designers took over the once-staid wedding industry (so princess-brides could now be stylish and sexy); the post-Diana celebrity culture took over our psyches; and the Disney Princess phenomenon -- launched at the beginning of the new millennium -- whipped it all into a look-at-me frenzy!Paradoxically, as the women's self-actualization movement arose during the last two decades of the twentieth century, the princess-bride planning her own wedding did as well.She was sleek -- hair, make-up and shoes planned to a T -- and this overly maquillage'd bride posed like a red-carpet celebrity in her big white dress.Now in today's image-addicted, reality-show-saturated, Pinterest-loving culture, the gown's enchantment not only lives on, but thrives.Beyond DisneyPerhaps it was bound to happen with the first generation of Disney princesses coming of age and "with the single population ever increasing -- and people becoming more and more self-interested and privileged," wrote Tom Teeman in late 2014 for The Daily Beast about something he calls the "self-marriage movement.A company in Japan offers "solo wedding" ceremonies and, as Teeman explains, one package deal includes "choosing your own gown, bouquet and hairstyle, a limousine service, a stay at a hotel and a commemorative photo album.Plus, to encourage more "positive feelings," the single bride can rent a "decorative" man to pose alongside her.A fake man for a fake ceremony!Is the idea of marrying yourself a declaration of independence and liberation or just more of a me, me, me "exercise in pampering," as one young woman labeled her experience?I think it's merely the princess myth stretched to extreme.sense of self-esteem.the effect was equal to a more extraordinary experience Wedding Party Dresses Outlet , such as visiting a World Heritage castle.But maybe the most forlorn aspect of all this to me--and the most telling--is the company's promotion.They proclaim that their solo-wedding ceremonies offer an opportunity for "single women who are not sure if they will get married, but want pictures of themselves in a bridal gown while they are 'young and beautiful'" (and you knew it was coming) so they can "'experience the feeling of being a princess.Therefore, with my query into the provocative "princess myth" on high-alert, a recent article in Vogue Daily caught my eye: "The Cool Girl's Guide to Wedding Shopping.It shares that "while there's nothing wrong with wanting to go traditional, not every bride dreams of a dress of Disney-princess proportions.Of course what's considered "traditional" hasn't always been, well, "traditional"--changes in fashion may be the only "constant" we can count on!The article features colorful, floral, unfussy designer dresses for brides--not a crinoline or corset or pouf in sight--more chic milkmaid than celebrity princess!Can the "princess myth" survive such no-fuss simplicity?Indeed, would there have been generations of princess-dreaming girls without the allure of a glamorous gown?Does one really want to be a "princess" if there's no glam gown in the offering?Or, on the other hand, perhaps the "princess myth" is more Jungian than sparkly dress.Your Inner Goddess CallingWhen shopping for a wedding dress, I ask brides through my wedding blog to consider just who is doing the choosing!Is it the latest fashion that's tugging at your heart or maybe 'tis some once-upon-a-time "princess" yearning?Or perhaps something deeper happens when you try on "the dress"?Something more akin to: "I feel like a destiny-shaping goddess.For the last 30 years I've encouraged brides to let this feeling--like an intuitive feminine presence--soak deep into their bones, keeping it close to their hearts during this seminal rite-of-passage.This is the mantra I share: "Don't settle for being a princess-for-a-day, be a goddess for a lifetime!For Better or

the first openly trans person to work in the White House

wanted to live or die Wedding Guest Dresses Outlet , knowing he wasn t being true to who she was.Each time he returned stateside, he came home angry.He punched holes in the wall.He punched a drunk in a bar and spent the night in jail.He deployed 13 times to stay away, his marriage dissolving in the process.He served with the elite Seal Team Six unit.After 20 years fighting for her country, Beck decided to retire and fight for herself.She transitioned in 2013 to a wave of publicity.A former member of SEAL Team Six coming out as a woman made for good television.Anderson Cooper interviewed her in prime time on CNN, and the network later made a 90-minute documentary about her journey called Lady Valor.She covered up her biker-gang tattoo with a ladybug, quit her job as a military consultant, and hit the road to make her living lecturing about human rights.On tour, she talks about staring down Taliban warlords, kicking down doors to capture insurgents, and sparing the life of an armed guard who would become a friend.She talks about coming home to a place that s supposed to be safe and getting beat up outside of a bar for wearing a dress.I have a right to some happiness, she said.She lobbied on behalf of a bill that would make it illegal to discriminate in hiring based on sexual orientation or gender, and advocated for LGBT protections in the military.It took time, but her parents learned to be supportive.It s been harder for her sons, whom she rarely sees anymore.Last year, Beck moved to Maryland s 5th District near Andrews Air Force Base and her mother.At a Pentagon social event, Beck met a woman, Heather Stott, an active technical sergeant in the Air Force Security Forces.The two fell in love and got engaged.Beck had always seen herself as a sheepdog, someone eager to protect the community.Now that she had a home that felt like home, she decided the best way to serve would be to run for Congress.I know I m the underdog, she said, while leaving the house for a full day of campaigning Flower Girls Dresses Outlet , But I m going to freakin win.Beck s entrance into politics comes at a big moment for transgender issues.While there has been a surge in pop-culture acceptance (see: Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair, Laverne Cox on the cover of Time magazine, and the acclaimed TV series Transparent ), civil rights for trans people lag behind.Beck would not be allowed to serve as openly transgender in the military.Even while Beck says she won t make LGBT issues a campaign priority, she has positioned herself as a de facto leader.When a community doesn t have that many spokespeople, anyone who decides to put themselves out front automatically becomes a spokesperson, whether they want to or not, said Dana Beyer a transgender woman who has also run for office in Maryland.It might not be fair, but it s the truth.And not everyone is convinced that Beck is up for that particular role.She s famous for speaking right off the cuff and having to backtrack, said Autumn Sandeen, a transgender activist and Navy veteran.Many activists found Beck s disparaging comments about Chelsea Manning ( If Bradley is truly Chelsea then she is a traitor to ME, Beck wrote on Facebook) and Jenner ( He s no hero, Beck said in a TV appearance, raising an eyebrow about the reality star s likely financial windfall) to be counterproductive.Beck is certainly a complicated personality.She makes a living giving speeches about her journey to self-acceptance but doesn t want to be thought of as a transgender candidate.Sometimes she s OK with the term trans other times she asks to be referred to by the Native American term two-spirited.She suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, manifested by sleep problems and a tendency to repeat herself.She gripes that Hillary Clinton may have lifted the term everyday Americans from her campaign.On a number of occasions, she asks not to be called a hero, even when no one has done so.But as big as her personality is, Beck is trying hard not to make this an identity-based election.equal pay for equal work, term limits for members of Congress, cleaning up the huge amount of human fecal matter in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.I try not to say much about the LGBT community, she said.It s a crazy burden to ask someone to speak for a community.The only time her

es Karl RoveJohn Dickerson: Clinton is the most uncontested party nominee in almost a century.And that’s exposing some nuttinessHer speech to a business audience of 1 Discount Formal Dresses ,800 was to promote her new 600-page memoir Hard Choices, which she wrote longhand, to the frustration of her editor and her daughter, Chelsea.Later in the day, she signed copies of the book for hundreds of admirers who lined up at a downtown Indigo store.Many Americans may take our relationship with Canada for granted, but our northern neighbour is an indispensable partner in nearly everything we do around the world, she writes.Other mentions of Canada are in passing, over such issues as climate change and NATO.Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister, is briefly quoted once on northern sovereignty, especially in the face of Russian militarization, saying it demands forces on the ground, ships in the sea and proper surveillance.The book includes many photographs, starting with the grand scene of her 2008 concession speech at the National Building Museum; being watched by a North Korean soldier in Pyong Yang; holding on to Nicolas Sarkozy after walking out of her shoe, playing the piano with Bono; eating soup at an elaborate table with Aung San Suu Kyi; and the famous Situation Room shot with her hand over her mouth.In her speech, she said her heart was in her throat at that moment, after the helicopter crashed in the bin Laden raid.Hard Choices also reflects on Chelsea s wedding, and how, as mother of the bride, I was delighted to help in every way I could, including reviewing photographs of flower arrangements from the road and making time for tastings and dress selections back home.I felt lucky that my day job had prepared me for the elaborate diplomacy required to help plan a big wedding.In her speech, she praised the Canadian military, and took a few frank and amusing shots at Russian President Vladimir Putin Discount Homecoming Dresses , the thin- skinned autocrat and intriguing character with whom she has a longstanding diplomatic rivalry.Now there are a few world leaders who might not be very happy when they read it, and I m talking to you, Vladimir, she said.But I say what I m going to say and let the chips fall where they may.There are a few world leaders who might not be very happy when they read it, and I m talking to you, Vladimir What he s trying to do is look to the past for Russia s future, she said, driving with his eyes on the rear-view mirror.She was coy, however, about her own political ambitions, which are thought to include a 2016 presidential bid.For example, asked what a male spouse of a female president would be called, she said she has heard suggestions from First Man to First Mate.I don t know, she said.I hope our country has the chance to find out.as are the aristocrats.million, has some top tips for saving money.In an interview with Tatler, the magazine that chronicles all things upper class, she has suggestions on everything from used soap to conserving the lobster.Here are five tips from the Baroness.Never serve guests with food on plates It’s a waste, says the baroness.Let guests help themselves.That way, they can take exactly the amount of food they want, and no more.They can always have seconds, but you won’t be left scraping luscious lobster into the bin.I love Melba toast, but it does mean cutting off the crusts.We have it with dinner on Friday and Saturday, but keep the crusts.with boiled eggs for Sunday breakfast.then re-uses it herself.She adds Discount Party Dresses , When it’s nearly finished, put it in drawers and cupboards to keep the moths away.Ditch the tentInstead of using a marquee at garden parties, buy 200 Panama hats for guests to keep the sun off.Don’t pull the plugOnce you’ve had a bath, leave the water in the tub for a couple of hours to warm the room.Other suggestions for keeping warm include using electric blankets and hot water bottles and using sausage-dog draught excluders at the bottom of doors.Her other suggestions include growing your own fruit (apples and pears, she recommends); re-using napkins (guests can use the same linen napkin for breakfast and lunch; shopping for bargains (local auctions and eBay, for instance) and not throwing anything away (old newspapers can go to the fishmonger and socks should be mended).Other aristocrats have also been dishing out economic advice.Sir Richard FitzHerbert, ninth baronet and owner of the 400-year-old, 48-chimney Tissington Hall in Derbyshire, confesses to pocketing hotel pens.All these little things help, he says.Caroline Lowsley-Williams of Chavenage House, an Elizabethan manor in the central Cotswolds district, laments hiring out her estate for weddding.I wouldn’t wish the wedding trade on anyone, she says.We peaked one year at 37.It helped the cash flow, but that meant 37 mothers-of-the-bride to deal with.I’m keener on funerals.They have a shorter run-in time.James Kudelka’s Cinderella fits the National Ballet of Canada exactly the way the glass slipper fits the central character’s foot: perfectly.Now celebrating its tenth anniversary, this modern take on the classic fairy tale is as elegant, comical and original as when it first debuted.One of the main reasons this ballet still sparkles like the crystals adorning Cinderella’s pointe shoes is because Kudelka understands the importance of spectacle in a 21st century story ballet.For instance, instead of arriving at the ball the usual way, Cinderella floats down from the sky in a giant pumpkin.egg in Kudelka’s The Nutcracker.The plot is the familiar one but Kudelka’s take is decidedly more contemporary and less sugary than other interpretations.The stepsisters are not evil so much as they are self-absorbed and materialistic.Her stepmother is a chain-smoking drunk.by the prince any more than she saves him by offering him a simpler, more down to earth life, than one dominated by royal pressures and paparazzi.The ballet is set in the Roaring Twenties, which means the pouffy pastel gowns seen in the popular animated film and storyb.

LONDON -- English football club Portsmouth has been deducted 10 points after entering bankruptcy protection for the second time in two years. The points deduction leaves the 2008 FA Cup winners out of the relegation zone in Englands second division on goal difference. Portsmouths application to go into financial administration was approved at Londons High Court on Friday after racking up debts of about 4 million pounds ($6 million). Portsmouths parent company, Convers Sports Initiatives, went into administration in November.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Colin Kaepernick insists he just happened to pull on a pair of socks with dollar bill prints all over them Wednesday morning -- before he learned he had struck a new fortune with the San Francisco 49ers. "I had these on before I found out," he quipped. "Luck of the draw." In the tattooed quarterback, the Niners have their franchise man for the long haul. One of the NFLs most dynamic young playcallers, Kaepernick received a $126 million, six-year contract extension Wednesday that keeps him with the organization through the 2020 season. The deal includes $61 million in guaranteed money, a person with knowledge of the contract said, speaking on condition of anonymity because terms werent disclosed. The sides had made it a top priority to get a deal done before the start of training camp next month. "They were able to get it done six weeks earlier than what I think everyone thought," Kaepernick said. "Im very excited to have it done at this point and we dont have to worry about talks or anything like that moving forward." Kaepernick, whose quick ascent to the ranks of the NFLs elite under centre has earned him rock star status, had been due to make less than $1 million this season. Now, the 26-year-old Kaepernick instantly becomes one of the leagues richest stars. "Im always striving to be in that group. An elite group in the NFL. Not necessarily pay, but as far as a player. Whatever comes along with that comes along with it," Kaepernick said. "Im very grateful for it. ... I dont think my motivation is money-driven." Since taking over the starting job from Alex Smith two years ago, Kaepernick led the 49ers to their first Super Bowl in 18 years after the 2012 season -- losing by three points to Baltimore -- and then to the NFC championship game last season, a three-point defeat to the rival and eventual Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Kaepernick even offered a shoutout to 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick Smith, saying, "I dont think I would be able to be at this point so quickly if he hadnt been such a great mentor to me and helped me along with things." Kaepernicks next mission: "Trying to win as many Super Bowls as I can," he said. "I think thats your goal as a player to try to win a Super Bowl every year that youre playing." A second-round draft pick out of Nevada in 2011, Kaepernick has thrived under former NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh -- and the coach has said how much he wants the mobile, strong-armed QB around for the long haul. Accomplishing an extension before the season is a big deal as the team begins its first year in $1.2 billion Levis Stadium at team headquarters. "I really expect a real breakout year for Colin. Athletically, he looks bionic," Harbaugh said during the organized team activity last week. "If you all remember The Six Million Dollar Man, thats what it looks like to me.ddddddddddddHes very gifted and he always has been. He has the look and feel of a guy whos really going to break out, even more so than he already has. Im really excited about everything about his game right now." Greetings and kind words came via Twitter posts from teammates. "Congrats to my boy (at)kaepernick7 on the extension! (hashtag)deserving (hashtag)hardestworkingdudeiknow," wrote fullback Bruce Miller. In a sensational playoff debut in January 2013 against Green Bay, Kap -- as they call him -- used his speedy legs to run for a quarterback playoff-record 181 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Then, in a season-opening win against the Packers last September, the strong-armed San Francisco QB threw for a career-best 412 yards and three scores. "Colins hard work and dedication have played an integral role in the recent success of the 49ers organization," 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement. "His work ethic, leadership and on-field production have positively influenced our team, and we look forward to his continued growth in all areas. Our organization always looks to reward our players for their contributions and commitment to the team." Harbaugh remained optimistic of getting a new deal done, while Kaepernick said his only focus was on football and he was leaving it to his agents to do the rest. The quarterback had said he sought a "fair" deal. He is regularly the first to arrive at work each morning and the last one off the field. Kaepernick has completed 382 of 639 passes for 5,046 yards and 31 touchdowns. He also has started all six post-season games in which he has appeared, earning four wins and passing for 1,374 yards and seven touchdowns. Kaepernick said last week he hopes a Miami investigation from April that names him will soon be over. He said that matter didnt affect his thoughts about whether it would affect the extension. "That wasnt something I was worried about," Kaepernick said. "I let my agents handle all the talking." Last month, Miami Police released two calls to a 911 dispatcher saying a woman identifying herself as Jesus was lying naked in a bed and refusing to leave. The callers said the woman wanted to spend time with a third man who wasnt there. Police say the players also involved in the case are 49ers wide receiver Quinton Patton and Seahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette. None of them has been charged with any wrongdoing. "Were just really thrilled for the Kaepernick family. Theyre amazing people," agent Scott Smith said after Kaepernicks news conference. "Were just so happy for them. Were really grateful of all the hard work the 49ers put into it." So, about his timely sock selection? "To be honest, one of my friends gave them to me, gave me a box of socks," he said. "No idea what brand or what company, but they were in my drawer." wholesale jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys china jerseys from china nfl jerseys cheap authentic cheap jerseys ' ' '

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Minnesota Wild were reeling as last year ended. Star Zach Parise was on injured reserve. Coach Mike Yeos job was in jeopardy. Then the problems really piled up. Starting goalie Josh Harding was out of action again with an illness. Captain Mikko Koivu broke his ankle. Defenceman Jared Spurgeon got hurt, too. Somehow, the Wild survived -- and thrived. "Ah, it was a piece of cake," Yeo said last week, smiling wryly. "I slept like a baby." With an 11-4-2 record in 17 games since the calendar turned to 2014, the Wild have taken control of the first of two wild-card spots in the Western Conference playoff race. With 69 points, theyre ahead of Phoenix and Dallas, who have 64 apiece and have played one fewer game. Eight of those 11 wins were in regulation. "All I wanted to do is I wanted our players to look at me and say, OK, hes got confidence. OK, well, we should have confidence," Yeo said. "That was the one thing that I wanted. And I did believe in the group that we had still. And I did believe in the game that we played." The Wild still have had trouble scoring, ranking 25th in the NHL with 2.36 goals per game. With Hardings return unknown and Niklas Backstrom injured and ineffective at different times this season, Darcy Kuemper has taken over in the net. Relying on a rookie goalie can be a risk. But Parise is back in form from his broken foot. Spurgeon has returned. Koivu is skipping the Olympics and expected at full strength when the schedule resumes on Feb. 27. Nino Niederreiter, acquired in a draft-day trade, has given the offence a boost. Mikael Granlund has bounced back from a rough rookie year. "I think weve got good character," leading scorer Jason Pominville said. "A lot of guys stepped up in different situations. It wasnt easy at times. You could tell that we were missing some of our key guys, but I think other guys kind of found a way to adjust their game and get adjusted to the level of our play that you have to be successful night in and night out." During Yeos tenure as coach, the Wild have seemed to play better in less-than-ideal circumstances than when in tip-top shape. "Knowing our group, knowing competitors in general, they love a challenge," Yeo said. "So I think we all do." League realignment was welcomed by the Wild, for enhanced regional rivalries to better entice fans and more games in their own time zone. But this season, the new look has made their post-season bid more difficult. Only the top three teams in each division are guaranteed a playoff spot, and St. Louis (84 points), Chicago (84) and Colorado (79) are comfortably ahead of the Wild, who have only 23 games left. "Weve just got to focus on winning games and when we play Colorado, try to beat them and try to lessen that cushion that they have on us and try to slowly creep up on them," Pominville said. Added Parise: "Thats hard to gain that many points. But you never know. ... Youve got to push the teams down that are below you, and we have to take care of ourselves." The non-Olympians on the roster will reconvene for practice next week. The Wild will have to be careful not to lose the momentum they built, with 21 days between games. "Much the same as out of the lockout, its how can you get yourself game ready?" Yeo said. "Making sure that youre ready to execute and play at the pace that you need to play at, making sure that youre ready to battle at the level you need to, and making sure that the conditioning is at the level that you need it at."
