@@@ (Update: Perkins' attorney issues an official statement below.) that has been accused of punching a woman and her brother nfl jerseys online for sale while outside of a nightclub in Houston. The incident initially occurred in July and the cased Wholesale Jerseys previously had been dismissed, but was later re-filed.From the report:Kendrick Perkins, who lives in Tomball and plays for the , posted a $1,000 bond Thursday morning on the misdemeanor assault charge.His brother-in-law, Quincy Alpough, faces the same charge.According to court documents, the incident happened back in July outside the Nox nightclub in the 4700 block of Nett.

The case was initially dismissed, but Perkins and Alpough were charged when it was re-filed.The alleged victims, Miketta Cotton and Ja Keenan Cotton, assert that the incident was propagated initially when their car and Perkins' car accidentally backed up into each other outside of the club.[Miketta] Cotton Wholesale NFL Jerseys said she got out to talk with the male driver. She said a female passenger suddenly jumped out of the car, pulled her hair back and began taking off her jewelry like she was ready to fight.Cotton said she calmed the woman down, but then Alpough got out of the car and pushed her stating, "That's my cousin!"When Ja'Keenan Cotton saw his sister being pushed, he got out of the car to check on her. He told police Perkins, a passenger in the other car, punched him in the head, causing him to fall to the ground.Cotton said Perkins then punched her in the face with a closed fist, causing her to fall down.Catherine McGrue, who was in the car with Cheap New York Giants Jerseys Sale the Cheap New York Giants Jerseys On Sale Cottons, said Alpough struck her in the throat with his elbow, knocking her unconscious.All three victims say a group of people then kicked them repeatedly while they were lying on the ground.Ja'Keenan Cotton recognized Perkins and Alpough, according to court documents.At least one witness backed up their story.There are no further details at this time, but Thunder GM Sam Presti has already issued a standard address:"We were made aware of the allegations and take this matter seriously. We are in the process of gathering more information and have no further comment at this time."This reported incident comes on the tail of ' arrest in September for. While Perkins' incident pre-dates Liggins' arrest, the fall-out may follow it. One of the things we discussed in the wake of Liggins' arrest is what kind of precedent the Thunder management might set for their franchise to follow. Liggins was eventually waived by the team.Now that Perkins could be facing similar legal action, we wonder how that precedent might play forward. Royce Young at:Of course this comes just a few weeks after the team released guard DeAndre Liggins because of an alleged domestic violence issue where he punched his girlfriend. So a somewhat similar precedent has been set. Though beating up your girlfriend in front of your two-year-old son and getting in a scuffle in a parking lot are quite different. Not good at all, but I wouldn t jump to conclusion and cheap nfl jerseys extrapolate that because Liggins was waived, so will Perkins. We will follow the story as it develops.Update1: Perkins' attorney releases a statement, : Kendrick Perkins did nothing wrong, and I am confident that he will be exonerated, said Matt Hennessy. of DeGuerin, Dickson, Hennessy & Ward. my client takes these charges very seriously. He is a respectful and kind person and is anxious to address these charges for the sake of his family and his team. We will defend these allegations vigorously in court. According to Mayberry, the max punishment for assault with bodily injury, is one year in county jail and a $4,000 fine.

Still, vast global inequality persists. According to the report, the wealthiest 10 percent of the world’s population owns 86 percent of global wealth, compared to only 1 percent of the wealth owned by the bottom half Authentic Ravens Jerseys Sale New York Giants Jerseys For Cheap Authentic New York Giants Jerseys Sale of adults. 

В 

But every region has grown significantly since 2000, when global wealth totaled Custom New York Jets NFL Jerseys $113 trillion. Every region apart from North Ravens Jerseys For Cheap America and Asia-Pacific has more than doubled their wealth. North America’s wealth has risen 88 percent, and Asia-Pacific’s has risen 74 percent. Custom New York Jets Jerseys In the same period, personal wealth in India rose by 211 percent and in China by 376 percent, and even with population growth occurring, net worth per adult rose 68 percent.

The Credit Suisse report also documents the turnover in the financial stratosphere. For example, of the top 100 billionaires on the 2001 list, only 37 were on this year's list.

BLACKSBURG — With James Gayle and J.R. Collins locking down Virginia Tech’s defensive end positions, sophomore Dadi Nicolas doesn’t get as many reps as the Hokies would prefer.They Cheap Giants Jerseys Sale found a way for him to make a big impact Saturday.Nicolas played as a specialized whip linebacker, starting in a stand-up position off the edge and crashing hard toward the line, either after the quarterback or the running back on every play.The defensive wrinkle, which the Hokies saw Virginia do two weeks ago against Pitt, worked well. Nicolas had career highs with seven tackles and three sacks.“He’s a real talented guy and we wanted to use him to get a pass rush from different positions,” head coach Frank Beamer said. “He’s a real force back there.”Nicolas was the first Hokie to register three sacks in a game since Cam Martin against North Carolina in 2007. He doubled his career sack total in the process.A rangy, 6-foot-3, 224-pound end, Nicolas, who was unavailable to the media afterward, played only one year of high school football for Atlantic High School in Delray Beach, Fla. He’s slowly come along at Tech, however, and his playing time has increased accordingly.“When he started, you couldn’t get him lined up, you couldn’t get him to do anything, because he’s only been playing for so long,” said linebacker Jack Tyler, whose duty it was to get him lined up properly Saturday. “And now he’s kind of found his niche. You can see that he’s a heck of a player.”It figures to be a one-week deal. Tech saw a matchup to exploit against Pitt, and Nicolas lacks the pass coverage skills to be a full-time whip linebacker. But Tyler sees tons of potential.“Down the road, I can’t even imagine what he’s going to turn into,” Tyler said. “Because once he gets everything going mentally, physically he’s there.”Just enough offenseThe Hokies didn’t have a great offensive day, finishing with 315 total yards and running for only 76 yards, the fourth time they’ve failed to hit the 100-yard mark on the ground this season.But Tech had some positives. The Hokies had a 34:11 Custom Patriots NFL Jerseys For Sale to 25:49 advantage in time of possession, were 8 for 19 on third downs and didn’t turn the ball over for a third straight game, the first time since 2005 they’ve done that.“With the way the defense is playing, it kind of changes the way we play on offense a little bit,” quarterback Logan Thomas said.“We know if we take care of the football, and do what we’ve got to do, the defense is going to do a great job as Cheap Giants Jerseys On Sale always. Put a couple points on the board and watch them do their thing.”Getting their kicksKicker Cody Journell shook off his recent struggles to make four of five field goals Saturday, hitting from a career-long 48 Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys Sale yards in the first quarter.The senior had missed three of Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys On Sale his previous four attempts going to back to the East Carolina game. He was good from 48, 37, 42 and 23 yards Saturday, missing a 33-yarder.“He only had one bad game,” Beamer said. “In practice, he’s been back and very steady. We have our field goal kicking contest and he’s always the one that’s blasting them through.”Punter A.J. Hughes averaged a career-high 52.8 yards on four punts. That’s the highest single-game average under Beamer, passing Jimmy Kibble’s 51.3-yard mark against UAB in 1997.A welcome breakAfter playing the first seven weeks of the season, the only ACC team to do so, the Hokies finally get their bye week. They have two weeks to rest up and prepare for Duke at home Oct. 26.“It’s definitely helpful,” Tyler said. “I don’t think we have too many big injuries that we need to come back from, but it’s always nice to just kind of get away for a week and mentally get recharged and Custom Patriots Jerseys For Sale physically get recharged.”Extra pointsTight end Kalvin Cline had a career-high 65 receiving yards to go with his first career touchdown catch. … At 6-1, Virginia Tech is bowl eligible for the 21st straight season. The Hokies didn’t accomplish that until the final week of the regular season last year.

@@@ Where: Memorial Stadium

 

Records: Memorial 4-2, 2-0; North Shore 5-0, 1-0

 

Last Year: Cheap New York Giants Jerseys On Sale North Shore 31-24

 

TV: Port Arthur News Friday Night Experience, Time-Warner Digital 888 or 1888 at noon Sunday.

 

Internet broadcast: Legacy Sports Network (legacysportsnetwork.com)

 

 

 

 

 

This is the game Port Arthur Memorial fans, players and coaches circle each year when the schedule is released.

 

No. 4 North Shore returns to Memorial Stadium tonight in a matchup between two teams trying to stay perfect in the District 21-5A standings.

 

The Mustangs and Titans have alternated wins in a series that started 2008. North Shore won last year, 31-24, and leads the all-time series 3-2.

 

Memorial Coach Kenny Harrison knows it gets no bigger than this week.

 

We are fully aware of the magnitude of this game, Harrison said. North Shore and Memorial has become a heated rivalry. The kids understand how tough a game this will be, and we will be fired up come game time.

 

North Shore and Memorial put on quite the show last year. The Mustangs won on a touchdown with under 30 seconds remaining on the clock.

 

The year before Memorial defeated North Shore 14-7. The Mustangs won in 2010, Wholesale Jerseys 35-28, and in 2009 the Titans were the victors, 7-6, in the Mud Bowl. The only lopsided game in the series was the very first when North Shore won 66-7.

 

That team is always full of talented players, Harrison said. I think they have more second-string guys go to Divison I schools than most teams have total. They are so deep. If they lose a starter, they plug some new guy in and he is just as dangerous as the first one. To say they have our respect is an understatement.

 

Harrison does not believe his Titans will be some sort of pushover for the Mustangs. Memorial is riding a two-game district winning streaks cheap nfl jerseys with victories over Deer Park and Channelview.

 

The Titans had their best offensive showing of the season last week in a 52-14 win over the Falcons. Memorial finished with 565 yards of offense, 235 coming off the arm of quarterback Tayylor Labrie.

 

QB Tayylor Labrie finished 20-for-28 passing with one touchdown and no interceptions.

 

Tayylor is a very talented kid, Harrison said. As a team, we got off to a shaky start. Tayylor has matured and he knows he has to grow up a little more each week.

 

Labrie is the leading passer in the district with 985 yards on 70-for-119 passing with six touchdowns and four interceptions.

 

Memorial has four receivers with over 10 receptions. Albert Jacobs leads the Titans with 18 catches for 276 yards, Trenton Swinton has 17 receptions for 275 yards and four scores and Roderic Rucker and Torian Lott each have 11 catches.

 

Running back Kameron Martin is third in the district with Wholesale NFL Jerseys 655 yards and five scores. Corey Dauphine also is a threat with the football with 45 carries for 268 yards and five touchdowns.

 

Memorial s offense ranks second in 21-5A and averages 367 yards.

 

If Memorial is second, it is pretty easy to guess which rival has the No. 1 rated offense in the district.

 

North Shore will counter with an offense averaging 390.6 yards. One area the Mustangs lead the district in which might be a surprise is lost fumbles. North Shore has given away six fumbles.

 

North Shore has rushed for 1,573 yards, led by Triston Houston. Houston has carried 43 times for 464 yards and four touchdowns. Teammate Michah Long has run for 345 yards on 40 carries with five scores. Long will also spend time at the quarterback position.

 

Jereel Cooper has 240 yards on the ground and two touchdowns. Justin Green has 239 yards rushing and five scores.

 

Quarterback Lawance McCardell has thrown for 280 yards and three touchdowns on 13-for-28 passing.

 

They have a huge offensive line and quite a few nfl jerseys online for sale running backs with speed, Harrison said. When you play North Shore you have to be at your best. We cannot make mistakes during the game. They will rotate quarterbacks and both run the offense real well.

 

Our turnovers on offense really killed us early on in the season. That will kill any team. We cleaned that up last week and we have to do it again this week. You can t give a team like North Shore any extra chances.

 

North Shore s defense also leads the district while allowning an average of 174.2 yards. The Mustangs have forced 20 fumbles and recovered six. The team also has five interceptions.

 

This game is another part of a tough district schedule, Harrison said. We have to continue to put things together in all phases of the game. This game is a big part of our ultimate goal which is to win the district championship and be around for the playoffs.

Nintendo producer Eiji Aonuma revealed a bunch of new info about Zelda: A Link Between Worlds during a panel at New York Comic-Con.

 

Fans of Zelda: A Link to the Past will remember the dark world as the setting where Ganon was sealed away, but we all know a ALBW is different. The other world that Link travels to is called Lorule. It mirrors Hyrule and has its own castle and a princess named NFL Jerseys for men Hilda.

You may have seen [Princess Hilda] praying at the end of that trailer, Aonuma said through an interpreter. Naturally they re both princesses, and they both have kingdoms, and they re both thinking about their Custom Giants NFL Jerseys kingdoms. But they also have different desires (and) different motives each to their own. How those interact and conflict is how the story develops.

 

Behold Hyrule Castle and Lorule Castle.

Custom Giants Jerseys The villain was also detailed NFL women Jerseys Patriots Jerseys Sale as a mysterious character called Yuga. In the trailer. The way that he interacts with Princess Zelda, and in Lorule, Princess Hilda basically is what makes the story unfold, Aonuma carefully explained.

Items a player rents (or buys) from the shop can be upgraded by finding creatures called Maimai s. As a reward for returning them to Mother MaiMai, a player will receive item upgrades. During the stage presentation, an upgraded bow and arrow could fire three arrows at once.

 

Princess Hilda and Princess Zelda.

Aonuma also mentioned that players would discover mini dungeons Discount Patriots Jerseys that contain treasure. This would allow players to gather lots of rupees as rewards for exploring.

When the International Business Times , opinions were pretty evenly divided. Many Authentic Ravens Jerseys Sale didn’t seem to mind the social-media site’s actions at all.

“If you are putting yourself on facebook, you should be able to be searched. if you don’t want people to find you, get off facebook Ravens Jerseys For Cheap [sic],” Devon Michael O’Connor commented.

Facebook also said only a “small percentage of people” actually used the soon-to-be-retired setting. It didn’t specify the exact percentage, but the indicated the percentage is in the single Custom New York Jets Jerseys digits.

If just 1 percent of Facebook’s total user base took advantage of it, however, that’s still about Custom New York Jets NFL Jerseys 11.5 million people. That’s a hefty number of Facebook New York Giants Jerseys For Cheap users who actually care about their privacy, and it’s likely the real number is much higher than that. Given that most people never change their Facebook default settings -- possibly more than 95 percent, according to an extrapolation of figures reported by -- the social network could potentially offend millions of active, engaged users with the policy change.

Being concerned about digital privacy isn’t just for the tinfoil-hat crowd. Some Facebook users don’t want certain people (read: stalkers) to follow their online life. Facebook now only hides a profile from blocked users, but people can easily create profiles with fake names and find the objects of their obsessions.

This is just the latest reason that some people are leaving Facebook. In May, Facebook was one of several technology companies outed as a participant in secret U.S. National Security Agency domestic electronic-surveillance programs such as . Edward Snowden, the former NSA-contractor-turned-whistle-blower, reported that companies such as Facebook even worked with the NSA to provide backdoor access to user data. Facebook was one of the last companies implicated by Snowden to about requests for information it receives from the government.

“Why not just call this what it is...NSABook [sic]?” wrote IBTimes reader Dan Brown. Authentic New York Giants Jerseys Sale “Just grateful I have a common name resulting in a frustrating search for any loser with enough time to stalk me.”

In August, Facebook made to a couple of its governing legal documents. Among these changes, the company rewrote its policies about personalized advertisements, encompassing data-usage rules dealing with the sharing of user data with others and what data third parties can retain. Along the way, the company gave itself permission to know whether you are accessing its services via Android or iOS product.

What do you think about Facebook removing the option to hide your profile from its Graph Search? Are you ready to delete your Facebook profile just yet? Let us know in the comments section.

It's unwise to get too pumped up about the results of a summer league game, but if one were inclined to do such a thing, one might get a tad excited about the after their performance in Salt Lake City on Saturday night against the . The Clippers clearly have one of the more talented rosters in the league and the Jazz clearly exist at the other end of that spectrum, but this was not a contest at any point.

The Clippers, again playing without , and , got a surprise start from despite the bone bruise he suffered on Wednesday and went with their regular starting lineup with the reliable stepping in for Redick. That starting group, with , and joining Griffin and Green, only played about half the game -- a little less for Griffin who tweaked his right ankle just moments into the game but returned after getting the ankle retaped -- but compiled some gaudy numbers in the process. Paul had 10 assists, six points and six rebounds and put up a plus/minus of +26 in less than 24 minutes and never really looked like he was working particularly hard on offense.

In fact, that may be the thing that was most impressive about this performance. The Clippers smothered the Jazz with their defense, holding wholesale nfl jerseys china Utah to 36 percent shooting for the game, and below 30 percent in the first half when things were marginally more serious -- while on offense they seemed to be in cruise control. Don't get me wrong, it was a very effective cruise control, yielding 106 points on 55 percent shooting, 61 effective field goal percentage taking into account the 11 three pointers they made, but it all came easily and with Custom 49ers Jerseys Wholesale a certain nonchalance. One assumes the team will have another gear when they need it, but they didn't need it tonight. Simply by running their sets efficiently they got plenty of wide open shots.

There's not much point in dwelling on the game given that the Jazz weren't capable of putting up a lot of resistance, but there were a few individual performances worth noting:

 

After going for 16 points, eight rebounds and four blocked shots in 21 minutes in Portland on Monday, DeAndre Jordan followed up with 14 points, seven rebounds and six blocked shots (all in the first half) in 22 minutes in Utah. That's 10 blocked shots in 43 minutes this pre-season, but you know what has impressed me? His 6-8 shooting from the free throw line in so far. It's an incredibly small sample size of course, but he just looks worlds different at the line. I don't know if it's instilling confidence or continued work with Bob Custom 49ers NFL Jerseys Thate or what, but DJ is stepping to the line, taking a rhythm dribble and shooting his foul shot without ever entering his own head -- which is clearly where he gets into trouble. Even his two misses in the pre-season looked good. It's early but it's very encouraging.

In a similar vein, Blake Griffin is shooting open perimeter jump shots without overthinking things. They weren't falling in Portland, but he made 3-7 from 18 feet and out tonight, which combined with his 3-3 in the paint gave him a solid 6-10 evening. It remains to be seen if the Clippers offense can consistently generate a better shot than a Griffin 18 footer -- but it's pretty obvious that they can get wholesale nfl jerseys cheap that shot any time they want to.

Speaking of which, after hitting just 1-7 from beyond the three point line on Monday, hit 3-7 in this one, including his first two, and he also drew a foul shooting a three. After Monday's game I mused aloud as to whether Rivers and the Clippers coaching staff feel like that's a good shot, and we got some insight into that during the broadcast when Mike Smith said that Rivers has told Mullens in no uncertain terms that he wants him to keep shooting that shot. Seven threes per game in limited minutes still seems excessive -- but he only needs to hit around 35 percent from out there to make it a worthwhile exercise. Besides, where better than pre-season to get up some shots? He can always dial it back in the regular season if need be, but hopefully he'll make enough to force defenses to react. Mullens led the team in scoring with 15 on the evening.

 

Midway through the third quarter, with the Clippers ahead 68-41, Rivers removed his starters for the final time and used the final 17 minutes or so as an extended look at the likes of , and . (I'm not convinced that any of the three unguaranteed Clippers deserves a roster spot, though Davies did surprisingly make three threes tonight.) Doc didn't even bother to play in the second half -- Crawford's a known quantity and a veteran who will be ready when the season starts. (There was a fun Cheap Authentic 49ers Jerseys Wholesale moment as Crawford was set to check in when Doc changed his mind, called timeout, and told Jamal that he was going with Wayns instead -- Jamal and Custom 49ers Jerseys Doc are both gregarious personalities and Jamal feigned disappointment as Doc teased him about being benched.)

This team is loaded on paper, and that came across in spades tonight -- even with two of their top eight players missing the game. Utah in mid-October is a far cry from a real test, but patsy or not, the Clippers could hardly have looked much better tonight.

Judge Jane Farish told him he'd likely face a lengthy prison term when sentenced next month.

The three Crime Act charges carry a maximum prison term of seven years.

SFO New NFL Jerseys acting director Simon McArley said: "LWR employed many staff and enjoyed an international reputation. The scale and impact of Mr Anderson's fraud was extensive. SFO are pleased to bring some closure to his involvement in this investigation".

Anderson was originally facing 82 charges.

The Cheap Authentic Denver Broncos Jerseys Wholesale SFO launched an investigation in 2009 after the company's New York Giants Jerseys For Cheap receivers, BDO Spicers, raised concerns following its collapse earlier that year.

Anderson and another individual were charged in July 2011.

A trial for the other defendant, facing eight charges, began on Monday.

Of course there will be some controversy surrounding this move however, users are able to opt-out of sharing Google Plus information.

Jessica left home to walk to school on Oct. 5, 2012, but she never arrived. Hundreds Denver Broncos Jerseys For Cheap of people helped search for the girl before her body was found days later.

Somedays are worse than others and I just kind of put one foot in front of the other, said Sarah.

Now Jessica is leaving an impression like no other on parents and children nationwide with The Lassy Project.

John Guydon created the Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys On Sale app after being inspired by Jessica s story.

It kept me up at Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys Sale night so I started looking at solutions and when I realized there was nothing out there to create peace of mind, I decided to create it, said Guydon.

The app tracks a child via their Cheap Authentic New York Jets Jerseys On Sale smart phone s GPS locator.

Parents map the typical routes their child takes to places like school, a park or a friend s house.

If that child goes off Authentic Denver Broncos Jerseys Sale route, an alert is sent out to parents which can then escalate to the Lassy Village of people signed up to search in a designated area.

Guydon reached out to Sarah after creating the app, looking for her blessing and feedback.

Sarah now considers the app part of Jessica Cheap Authentic New York Jets Jerseys Sale s legacy to help keep others safe.

She wants to help other kids and make sure they don t go missing like her, said Sarah.

A year later it kind of feels like the more we talk about her, know about her and who she was and not what happened to her.

Right now the app and to become part of the Lassy Village is free.

Austin Sigg, 18, pleaded guilty earlier this month to kidnapping, sexually assaulting and killing the fifth-grader. He also pleaded guilty to a May 2012 attack on a 22-year-old jogger at another park, also in the Denver suburb of Westminster.

A big thank nike nfl jerseys for sale you to Rep. Dave Hayes for New Orleans Saints Jerseys Sale announcing his cheap custom nfl jerseys online for sale proposal to eliminate the free pass for legislators to speed down the highways during the legislative session on the off chance they re going to miss a voting opportunity.

As The Olympian s article indicated, this constitutional law was passed back when some lawmakers had to ride horses Custom Indianapolis Colts Jerseys For Sale Custom Indianapolis Colts NFL Jerseys For Sale for days to reach the Capitol to vote. Those days Discount New Orleans Saints Jerseys are long gone.

Prior to retiring from working for the state, my bosses would not accept my lateness because of traffic. The response was, Why didn t you leave earlier? I pass that question on to all our lawmakers.

Our leaders should have to abide by the laws everyone else does. But then there s Rep. Reuven Carlyle from Seattle who believes they should get a free pass. Where is that thinking coming from are lawmakers better than the rest of us? I suggest they are not!

BLACKSBURG — Ellie Zoepfl’s first goal of the season came at a most opportune time.The junior backup scored in the 87th minute to give the Virginia Tech women’s soccer Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys On Sale team a 1-0 win over fifth-ranked Notre Dame on Sunday.“This is definitely my most memorable goal ever,” said Zoepfl, a midfielder.The Hokies hugged each other at game’s end as their reserves raced onto the field to join the celebration.They had been looking forward to this game for some time.ACC newcomer Notre Dame, ranked No. 5 by Soccer America and No. 9 in the coaches poll, won the NCAA title in 2010 and made the NCAA quarterfinals last year.“It’s a really important win,” said Tech goalkeeper Dayle Colpitts, who had three saves, including one after her team scored. “All through summer, we were really excited that Notre Dame was joining the ACC.“Those last few minutes after we scored seemed like 10 minutes and I think it was only three.”It was the first time the Fighting Irish (9-4-1, 5-3-1) ever played a women’s soccer game at Tech (11-2-1, 6-1-1). The teams’ only previous meeting was Notre Dame’s 5-0 win in 2002, when the squads were Big East rivals.“It’s tremendous. It solidifies what we’ve done in the past Cheap Giants Jerseys Sale few weeks, the past months, and the growth of the program over all the years,” Tech coach Charles Adair said of the win. “I don’t think we get recognized. I think we carry that as a little chip on our shoulder.“This team’s deeper than any other team we’ve had here at Virginia Tech, and we proved it today with one of our reserves coming in and scoring a great goal.” Tech, ranked No. 12 by Soccer America and No. 10 in the coaches poll, improved to 2-1 against ranked foes this season. The loss was to defending NCAA champ North Carolina. Tech will face another ranked foe when Wake Forest visits on Thursday. Sunday’s game, which was broadcast on CSN and ESPN3.com, marked the seventh straight year Tech has beaten at least one top-10 opponent. Tech recorded marquee wins over UNC in 2009 and 2011.It was the seventh shutout win of the year for the Hokies, who lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament last season.“We have this chemistry about us that’s kind of hard to explain,” said Colpitts, who set the Tech career record for minutes played (6,158) by a goalkeeper. “We definitely have a bond this year that’s translating to the field.”Zoepfl scored from about 6 yards out, putting the ball between goalkeeper Kaela Little’s legs with 3:41 remaining. Shannon Mayrose passed the ball to her for the assist.“Shannon had the ball outside the box and she kicked it off the keeper and got it again,” Zoepfl said. “I ran in across the box and Shannon played a perfect ball, literally straight to my feet, and I just had to finish it.”“[Mayrose] Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys Sale and I both came out and Custom Patriots Jerseys For Sale she hit Custom Patriots NFL Jerseys For Sale it; it hit somewhere on my body,” Little said. “It bounced back out. I ran back to get in my goal. … [Mayrose] served it across and there was a free runner and [Zoepfl] split the gates.”It was Mayrose’s third game back in action after suffering a broken right foot in a July pickup game.Notre Dame went 0-2 on its extended visit to the Cheap Giants Jerseys On Sale commonwealth. After losing 3-2 in double overtime at No. 1 Virginia on Thursday, the Fighting Irish stayed at a Holiday Inn in Salem on Friday and Saturday nights.“These were two very, very tough battles,” Little said. “We didn’t play anywhere near our potential in either game and we lost by a goal in each.”The Fighting Irish had 14 shots to Tech’s nine. Little had three saves.Ashley Meier, who missed Tech’s last game on Oct. 3 with a concussion, returned to action Sunday.The Hokies wore pink jerseys for breast cancer awareness and teal socks for ovarian cancer awareness.

In recent weeks, Chinese officials have visited Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia as to build trade and economic ties with Southeast Asia, where Arizona Cardinals Jerseys For Cheap some countries have been embroiled in a territorial dispute over the .

After an hour-long meeting on Sunday, Mr. Li and his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Tan Dung witnessed the signing of several bilateral cooperation agreements covering maritime research, finance, infrastructure and education.

We have agreed to boost political trust and the exchanges of official visits in order to narrow and better control the disputes in the South China Sea, Mr. Li said.

Mr. Li and Mr. Dung also announced that the two countries had set up three special joint working groups that will help boost infrastructure and finance coordination and speed up maritime cooperation in the Tonkin Gulf, located between northern Vietnam and southern China.

Mr. Li s Vietnam visit to Hanoi follows his visit to Thailand last week, where he signed memoranda of understanding covering trade, infrastructure development and energy. Earlier this month, ahead of major international summits in Brunei and Bali, Indonesia, Chinese President Xi Authentic 49ers Jerseys Sale Jinping signed business cooperation agreements worth a potential $5 billion with , and $28 billion with Indonesia.

Some analysts say the outreach is part of a strategy designed to win the confidence of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, a bloc comprising Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Relations with several of those countries, particularly the Philippines, have not always been friendly, and many are wary of a growing nfl jersey wholesale Chinese presence in the region.

Mr. Li arrived in Vietnam as the country was holding a for former military commander General Vo Nguyen Giap, who recently raised concerns about Beijing s growing military reach in the South China Sea, where territorial disputes have grown heated in recent years.

The Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan all claim authentic nfl jerseys parts of the waters, which are rich in oil and natural gas. So too does China, whose claims often overlap.

In recent years Vietnam has accused Chinese boats of harassing its oil exploration and fishing vessels in an area of the South China Sea it calls the East Sea. Meanwhile, Hanoi has worked to consolidate its maritime forces and has purchased several submarines, battleships and jet fighters from Russia.

In 1974 China took de facto control of the mineral-rich Paracel Islands after it seized them from South Vietnam. In July last year, Beijing established a new city, Shansha, with its own garrison on the island of Yongxing to administer the islands.

Mr. Li said the effort to enhance joint maritime activities, would signal, “that our two countries have the ability to promote peace and stability in the South 49ers Jerseys For Cheap China Sea.”

“I believe that our two countries share a common interest that is bigger than any difficulties and differences that may exist,” he said.

While China’s military might has come as a concern to Vietnam, the country’s leadership also realizes it needs its northern neighbor to improve its economic outlook. Vietnam recorded a trade deficit of $16.4 billion with China in 2012, up from a $13.5 billion in 2011. The deficit has been eating into Vietnam’s already-thin foreign exchange reserves and could threaten to further destabilize Authentic Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Sale an already shaky economy if it doesn’t bring the growing gap under control.

“We had a successful meeting today, and we have reached agreement in several areas,” Mr. Dung said. “We have agreed to maintain and promote peace and stability in the East Sea, and to work out long-term solutions [for the disputes] that are acceptable for both countries.

Northland plays as sophisticated a football game as any other high-school team in central Ohio,

but coach Kevin Tooson prepared for Mifflin with a authentic jerseys for cheap game plan so simple that it was like stacking

children’s blocks.

“I told them that they had to play angry, that they had to step it up and hit,” he said. “I told

them that we had to 49ers Jerseys For Cheap make things happen. I told them that we had to perform as a team.”

The Vikings listened well, tackling and blocking with fury from the first quarter through the

last, and the result was a resounding 42-7 victory over the Punchers last night in a pivotal City

League North game at Mifflin.

Northland (5-1, 3-1) remained one game behind Brookhaven in the conference race with three weeks

remaining in the regular season, and enhanced its chances of making the Division II playoffs.

Northland was seventh in Region 5 before kickoff.

It wasn’t difficult for Tooson to get the players inspired for Mifflin (4-3, 3-1) after two

straight losses in the series.

“The word for tonight was

redemption,” running back and linebacker Nateshawn Hargrove said. “We think they got a

cheap one on us last year. We wanted this one bad.”

The way the game started, it looked as if the last team with the ball would win.

After taking the opening kickoff, Northland drove 58 yards in eight plays for a touchdown.

Hargrove scored on a 14-yard run.

On the Arizona Cardinals Jerseys authentic jerseys wholesale ensuing kickoff, Mifflin’s Jakob Green took a handoff from Aundreaus Winton and scored an

85-yard touchdown. However, the play was nullified by a holding penalty, and that turned out to be

the hard-luck story of the Punchers’ night.

They also turned the ball over on downs at the Northland 1 and their 24, threw passes

intercepted by Corbin Bannister and Jhustus Cornley, and fumbled the ball into the end zone on

fourth-and-goal from the 1 for a touchback.

The game began to turn when Hargrove batted down a pass intended for Melik Scott at the goal

line Custom Arizona Cardinals Jerseys For Sale on fourth-and-one at the 1-yard line with 6:52 left in the second quarter.

“I got a hand in there on the pass,” Hargrove said. “I was thinking that I could not let them

score. That play resulted from watching a lot of film in Authentic 49ers Jerseys Sale practice. I knew what to do that play.”&

amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; lt; /p

Northland took over. On the next play, Cornley ran 99 yards over left guard for a touchdown out

of the wildcat formation to make it 14-0. Hargrove was the lead blocker, taking out a

linebacker.

“I had a feeling that play was going to go all the way,” Cornley said. “I just followed the

tailback into the line. We’ve got to remember our big guys on the line. They do a great job. They

make it easy for us.”

Cornley had a 41-yard touchdown run and Hargrove a 7-yard touchdown run. Quarterback Nicholas

Fischer had an 8-yard touchdown run and threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Sherman Watson.

Tooson is excited about this team, saying it has more speed and athleticism than the 2010

Northland team that became the first in school history to make the playoffs.

“But let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” Tooson said. “Our focus is on Whetstone next week. That

will be a really big test for us.”

WASHINGTON -

The rainy weather is not the only thing slowing traffic along the Beltway Friday. Truck drivers from across the region are staging a three-day protest rally against the Obama administration and the federal government by driving around the Capital Beltway.The main convoy of truckers was on the outer loop of the Beltway near Annandale just before 2 p.m. Friday afternoon.About a couple dozen big rigs, many with flags, more than a few blaring their horns driving three abreast. And behind them was traffic slowing to about 30 miles per hour."I get a lot of people flipping me off and stuff like that, but I get Custom Ravens NFL Jerseys For Sale a lot more people waving to me and giving me a thumbs up," said truck driver John Johnson.We rode with Johnson, a North Carolina truck driver, for part of the morning. We asked him what this is all about."There ain’t anybody [who] wants anything violent to happen or everybody's talking about вЂOh, we need a civil war, we need a revolution and stuff like that.’ We need a peaceful revolution is what we need.”The issues are fueling the truckers' anger all over the map."Everybody knows about the Crosby Stills [and] Nash song -- the four dead in Ohio. Well, how about the four dead in Benghazi?" said protester John Vriesema."Stay out of our health care,” said Johnson. “Let the doctors handle that. Don't get into things they don't understand."Virginia and Maryland state police told us they are keeping a close eye on the rolling protest. They are warning truckers who purposely impede traffic. That is exactly what happened to Johnson. He received a citation for impeding traffic and driving less than the minimum speed limit.Where the convoy is not, traffic moves fairly well. A driving rain was the biggest headache.Back behind the wheel and on the road again, Johnson receives a message on the radio: "We're going to bump that speed up to 42 miles an hour.”“Yeah, probably safer that way,” Johnson radioed back.We asked Johnson whether this will have been Cheap NFL Jerseys worth the trouble."It don't matter. It don't matter if we make a difference or not,” he said. “You saw us. That police officer back there saw us. That woman right there seen us. They knew we were out here and Custom New York Giants Jerseys For Sale I hope they listen.”Some of the major trucking associations say they want nothing to do with this protest. Even some of the organizers of the rolling rally say some of the more radical objectives of some truckers are out of line.But they promise they will be here through Sunday with many more 18-wheelers expected.by FOX NEWSA trucker protest aimed at clogging the Capital Beltway around Washington to protest government "corruption" was scheduled to launch Friday morning, and police were bracing for a potential traffic nightmare.The rally, “Truckers Ride for the Constitution,” is calling for 10,000 truck drivers to show up Friday morning and circle I-495 for the next three days, according to a for the event, which had attracted more than 127,000 “likes” by Thursday evening.“Truckers will lead the path to saving our country if every American rides with them!” the Facebook page says, adding "The American people are sick and tired of the corruption that is destroying America!"On its website, the group lists several demands, including that President Barack Obama resign immediately, that the debt ceiling not be raised and that National Security Agency surveillance of communications be ceased. The group is also complaining about low wages and rising fuel costs.A post on the group's said it plans to present Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, with its list of demands Friday at Cheap Authentic New York Giants Jerseys Sale the World War II memorial.The group plans to clog two lanes of the three-lane beltway, leaving the third open for emergency traffic, according to another Facebook post. The event’s organizers, however, have stressed that they Cheap Jerseys intend to keep the protest peaceful and adhere to all traffic laws."We're not coming in to cause any violence or disrupt anything," protester J.B. Schaffner told Greta Van Sustern Thursday night on "Greta.""We're just coming in to make our voice heard."He added that truckers will be arriving from across the country, Custom New York Giants NFL Jerseys For Sale including Virginia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, with the rally set to kick off at 7 a.m.Authorities are already gearing up to deal with a potential traffic nightmare.The Washington Post Thursday evening that Virginia State Police were planning to deploy additional troopers Friday and throughout the weekend in case of any incidents or problems, but the group will be allowed to proceed as long as no laws are broken.

If you’ve been following international football these past two years then chances are you will have spotted the rise of Belgium, an upheaval which has led many to proclaim them as the dark horses for . But are a side now ranked six in the world, albeit by the dubious FIFA rankings, really outsiders? Here are five proper underdogs to consider when making that cheeky pre-World Cup punt…

Chile – FIFA ranking: 16, Odds for World Cup glory: 66/1

 

Cast your mind back to the 2010 World Cup. It was a tournament which failed to live up to the hype with anti-football and the vuvuzela drone making it pretty frustrating to follow. Now that the event is returning to the home of flair football for the first time since 1950, it is only fitting that it boasts sides intent on outscoring the opposition rather than quaking at the thought of defeat. In Jorge Sampaoli, Chile boast a manager who rarely cares for defensive wholesale nfl jerseys china duties and encourages free-flowing football. And it works too. Since the dawn of 2013 they’ve lost just once – a limp 1-0 defeat to Peru – but since then they’ve gone eight matches unbeaten, a run which includes credible draws with and Spain.

Yes, they might occasionally wholesale nfl jerseys cheap get a bit carried away, highlighted by them throwing away a three goal cushion in Colombia on Friday, but they possess creative players like Barcelona’s Alexis Sanchez and Juventus’ Arturo Vidal who are cut out for the main stage. And their philosophy of gung-ho football might just surprise a few sides who head to Brazil intent on keeping it tight.

Japan – Rank: 42, Odds: 150/1

 

But for defensive howlers, Japan might have left the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil with more to show for their efforts than a goal difference of minus five and a points haul akin to any nation who didn’t participate. Anyone who watched their clash with Italy will recall how the Japanese tore their more illustrious Custom 49ers Jerseys Wholesale opponents apart at times with exciting offensive football. If they can instil a touch of defensive know-how into their armoury then the likes of and can do the rest.

They have made short work of qualification for the past three World Cups, becoming the first team to qualify on each occasion, and now look set to burst beyond their tournament best performance by making the quarter-finals.

Bosnia and Herzegovina – Rank: 18, 150/1

 

For Bosnia the task is simple: win away in Lithuania to qualify for their first World Cup as an independent nation. Their dreams were dashed by Portugal in Custom 49ers NFL Jerseys a play-off four years ago but this time they top their group with just one game remaining.

In Manchester City’s Edin Dzeko, they have a striker capable of finishing the moves their attacking tactics continue to provide. Their qualification goal tally of 29 is only bettered by Germany and Netherlands and whilst they might lack the stand-out names of the European giants there is a growing optimism around the country that this could be the year they stamp their mark on international football.

Egypt – Rank: 50, Odds: 500/1

 

Seventy-nine people died in the Port Said Stadium riots in Egypt in February 2012, an event which shook African football to the core. Played against the backdrop of ongoing political instability and violence in the North African country, the rest of the 2012/13 domestic season was cancelled and Egypt’s national players faced the prospect of months without competitive action. This allowed coach Bob Bradley to spend a vast amount of time with the players, fostering a club-like environment and building belief throughout the squad. Egypt’s players responded by sailing through their group with a 100 per cent record – the only African side to achieve this feat – and set up a World Custom 49ers Jerseys Cup play-off with Ghana.

Beating their African rivals is no easy task – Ghana were one Asamoah Gyan penalty away from the semi-finals in South Africa – but with Basel star Mohamed Salah making waves for club and country, the Egyptian team are emitting a real sense of harmony, a far cry from the political unrest going on in the country, and are arguably Africa’s best hope for success in Brazil.

And… England – Rank: 17, Odds: 25/1

 

Yep, England are clear outsiders. For the first World Cup in a long time there is no sense of misguided optimism and it is now more trendy to suggest England will be eliminated in qualifying rather than claim they will storm to the title.

The debate about home-grown players and technique rages on, but England do not lack individual quality - it just seems the players are trapped by inhibitions as soon as they pull on the Three Lions jersey. Without any real expectation in Brazil – assuming they make it of course – Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard and co. can play without fear of a national backlash, whilst the new young recruits attempt to do Cheap Authentic 49ers Jerseys Wholesale what the so-called 'golden generation' could not. They might lack the talent of their Spanish or Brazilian counterparts, but perhaps the nationwide pessimism will allow England to enjoy a decent campaign this summer.

Any speculation as to the exact number of deliveries by Tesla Motors Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is just Ravens Jerseys For Cheap that, speculation. If the company itself were to give any indication of auto sales, it would have to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission to do so. Tesla itself says it has delivered 12,550 Model S sedans from the model's debut in June 2012 to June of New York Giants Jerseys For Cheap this year.

But there is news out there that suggests at the very least that the company will amply exceed the 5,150 vehicles it delivered in the second quarter and shatter the goal of selling more than 20,000 units this year.

That number could be closer to 40,000 by the end of the year if VIN information trickling out from the Teslot community is accurate. The VIN, or vehicle identification number, identifies individual automobiles. Like other car companies, includes a sequential serial Authentic Ravens Jerseys Sale number at the end. Since the Model S is so new to the market, the serial number can be used to track the number of vehicles the company is making, had made or has sold.

Customers are given VINs after they make an order, and it takes months for the car to be delivered, so while the number doesn’t necessarily indicate how many cars have been sold, it does tell you how many cars are in the works.

So what do we know?

Last month Deutsche Bank cited VIN numbers indicating the company was in line to be meeting a demand at an annualized rate of 30,000 vehicles in this quarter. Tesla began selling cars in Europe and Asia in the third quarter and those sales will definitely help Tesla meet or break analysts production estimates. In Norway, for example, the company , making the Model S the No. 1 selling model in that electric-vehicle-friendly country.

But consider the data being compiled quite regularly by a contributor to the company’s Forum page identified as Craig Froehle, someone Custom New York Jets Jerseys who has asked Tesla owners to provide their VINs for either cars that have been delivered to them or ones that are in the Authentic New York Giants Jerseys Sale production process, meaning they could be delivered months from now.

As of Tuesday, , meaning 25,730 units since Tesla began production. If you subtract the 12,550 units delivered since the end of the second quarter, the remaining number is 13,180.В 

Of course, these numbers include cars currently being produced for delivery in the coming months, including back stock to reduce delivery time and showroom display models. But even if only half of these cars were actually sold in the third quarter, it would still be a significant 27 percent increase from the sales in the second quarter, more than enough to satisfy the expectations Custom New York Jets NFL Jerseys by analysts and to cause the Teslots to swoon.

Tesla has yet to announce the date of its quarterly earnings report that will confirm these numbers, but the Nasdaq exchange says the announcement will be made in the first week of November.

Correction: As readers have pointed out, the VIN would be the same on both sides of the Atlantic, and the Tilburg Tesla facility is only an assembly plant, so there wouldn't be additional VINs across the pond. Your reporter humbly bows to the knowledge of these fine readers, from whom he has learned a lot. I've made the corrections above thanks to the feedback below.

The Senate will hold New York Giants Jerseys Sale a rare Sunday session this weekend to negotiate Discount New York Giants Jerseys the budget impasse and hopefully avoid a catastrophic default on Thursday.

The Senate, not the Cheap Authentic Patriots Jerseys Sale House, will be in session Sunday, although a budget solution would require action by both chambers.

Congress has until Oct. 17 to raise the debt ceiling. If the U.S. defaults on its $16.8 trillion in borrowings financial markets across the globe would plummet. U.S. would backslide into another recession and the rest of the world would follow.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., held “extremely cordial but very preliminary” talks Saturday Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

“I hope that our talking is some solace to the American people and the world,” Reid said on Saturday.

Those talks will continue Sunday, but Reid made no promises that cheap sports jerseys online this could be the beginning of the end. He said the talk led to “nothing conclusive.”

“Senator McConnell and I have been in this body a long time. We’ve done things for a long time together,” he said. “We don’t agree on everything, and Cheap Authentic Patriots Jerseys On Sale that’s, as you know, an understatement.”

This is the first meeting between the two Congressmen since July. In fact, their meeting on Saturday had to be arranged by New York Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer and Tennessee Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander.

“There’s a will among all three parties — the president, Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans. Now we’ll see cheap nfl jersey if there’s a way,” Schumer said Saturday.

President Barack Obama said Saturday that he wants a long-term plan, not the six-week extension to the debt ceiling proposed by Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

“It wouldn’t be wise, as some suggest, to just kick the debt ceiling can down the road for a couple of months, and flirt with a first-ever intentional default right in the middle of the holiday shopping season,” Obama said.

Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., claims there is a “a total breakdown in trust” between House Republicans and the administration.

“You don’t tell the speaker, the majority leader, the majority whip, вЂWe’re going to negotiate.’ Then they come and tell our entire conference, вЂWe’re going to negotiate,’” Schock said. “And then 24 hours later, you recant.”

@@@ Employees who make good decisions are a crucial aspect of success for almost every company. Decision-making can also affect career development, in good ways as well as bad. Do you know when you should trust New NFL Jerseys Authentic New York Giants Jerseys Sale your gut when making a decision? According to a , published by management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, "Our gut intuition accesses our accumulated experiences in a synthesized way, so that we can form judgments and take action without any logical, conscious consideration." This can be helpful, because it speeds up the ability to act. But how can you be sure your gut isn't giving you the wrong information? Campbell and Whitehead provide four tests to help protect decision-making from unconscious bias:The familiarity test. Think through your experiences and search for appropriate memories where you've Custom Denver Broncos Jerseys Wholesale experienced similar situations. Use this test to examine the key uncertainties in the current situation and determine whether you have enough comparable experiences to be able to make sound judgments.The feedback test. Analyze the feedback you've received from past situations. Were your previous decisions perceived to be the right ones by others? Why or why not? If they weren't perceived as good decisions, what was the feedback you were given?The measured-emotions test. Traumatic experiences can make people wary of similar situations and create bias in judgment. For example, knowing that dealing with workplace bullies can be difficult is different than having lived through a stressful experience with a bully. The first will help you carefully think through how to approach a bully; the second could Cheap Authentic Denver Broncos Jerseys Wholesale make you wary of all bullies and cause you to avoid dealing with difficult personnel situations. The independence test. This is about making sure inappropriate personal interests or attachments aren't influencing you. That's why financial auditors, for example, are not allowed to audit companies in which they own stock; their personal investment in that company could bias their audit. It's also why most companies have policies against spouses or relatives working directly for each other; there's increased potential for nepotism.If a situation fails even one of the four tests, rethink your decision-making process to improve the chances of a positive outcome. Campbell and Whitehead recommend three actions to reduce the potential of a bad decision: 1. Find someone, such Nike NFL Jerseys as a boss, who can weigh in on the decision.
