michael kors sale The Federal Reserve's double dose appealing rate cuts, intended to ward off an economic slowdown, is apparently doing little to slow President-elect George W. Bush's drive for tax relief.Bush announced Thursday that doesn't only was his $1.3 trillion dollar tax cut still necessary, but he may seek to speed it through Congress, reports CBS News Chief White House Correspondent John Roberts."It's possible that we may need to implement it faster," Bush told reporters in Austin, Tex. "And I'd be inclined to work with members of the Congress, in the event it be the case." Meeting with leaders in the battered high-tech industry, Bush declared he is optimistic about the long-term prospects to the economy, but that it needs a greater short-term boost than Fed chair Alan Greenspan has given it."The size of the plan I put forward is the size of the plan which is, I think, going to be necessary to help in keeping this economy strong," Bush said.Throughout the campaign, Bush's plans for a massive tax cut were criticized by Greenspan. The chairman's actions on Wednesday to chop interest rates were taken by some as a preemptive move to show he's responsible. "You could argue on the one hand that he's staking out his turf," said Alan Blinder of Princeton University, as well as on the "other hand that this plays to Bush-Cheney line."Bush knows it is vital to forge a constructive relationship using the Fed chairman. Bill Clinton did, along with the economy soared. Bush's father didn't - and in the end, he blamed Greenspan for his 1992 loss to Mr. Clinton."I reappointed him," the elder George Bush said of Greenspan, "and he disappointed me."Lingering tensions from days gone by aren't lost on Greenspan or even the man who will soon ended up being the second President Bush."They desire to adopt the alliance model rather than the pie-throwing model that Bush's father practiced," said Bob Woodward, author of Maestro: Greenspan's Fed along with the American Boom. It's not just Greenspan that Bush could irk by speeding by having a huge tax cut. Democrats in Congress asserted if Bush tries to ram a partisan tax bill down their throats before increasing any good will, he'll possess a fight on his hands in the word go.©MMI Viacom Internet Services Inc.

Gucci Outlet Store, 60% Off Gucci Handbags For Sale BTK serial killer Dennis Rader was ordered to offer 10 consecutive life terms Thursday after a tear-filled hearing in which his victims called him a monster and said he needs to be "thrown in a deep, dark hole and left to rot."The sentence — at the very least 175 years without a possibility of parole — was the longest possible that Judge Gregory Waller could deliver. Kansas did not have any death penalty at the time the killings were committed.The two-day hearing featured testimony from detectives who graphically detailed the ten killings and tearful relatives of the victims. It culminated with rambling testimony from Rader, who said he'd been dishonest to his family and victims and also at times wiped his eyes."Nancy's death is a like a deep wound that may never, ever heal," Beverly Plapp, sister of victim Nancy Fox, testified. "As far and i'm concerned, Dennis Rader does not deserve to live. I want him to suffer as much as he made his victims suffer.""This man should be thrown in a deep, dark hole and left to rot," she said. "He shouldn't, ever see the light of day."Rader offered Biblical quotes, as a result of police and an apology to victims' relatives before Waller sentenced him."A down side is there, but now I think light is beginning to shine," Rader said. "Hopefully someday God will accept me."Rader, 60, a former church congregation president and Boy Scout leader, led a double life, calling himself BTK for "bind, torture and kill." He was arrested in February and pleaded guilty in June towards the 10 murders from 1974 to 1991.The family members who spoke called him a coward, and they also quietly sobbed.Some of those who were given a few moments to speak to Rader and the court, for example Carmen Otero, expressed pure anger, CBS News Sixty minutes correspondent Erin Moriarty reports for CBSNews.com. Others, including Kevin Bright, gave testimony almost too intense to listen to."No remorse, no compassion — he no mercy," said Bright, the brother of victim Kathryn Bright, who himself was shot but been able to flee. "I think that's what he really should receive."Rader's voice choked because he made a rambling, half-hour address on the courtroom, saying he had been dishonest to his family and victims and selfish. no previous page next 1/2
www.ahlborn-kirchenorgeln.com/uggaustralia.html Secretary of State Colin Powell "made as strong a case as one could make that Iraq was concealing weapons-related activities," says former U.N. weapons inspector and CBS News consultant Steven Black. Black called Powell's address on the U.N. Security Council Wednesday an "incredible presentation of the web of evidence, not only a theory, woven together in a easy-to-understand, comprehensive way." Specific pieces of evidence Powell cited "are almost all new, and all sorts of are analogous to evidence there was in the 1990s of Iraqi concealment activities."Black said the research – drawn from photographs, intercepted communications, and human sources – was as compelling as it's likely to get in a situation when a smoking gun may be something as small as a vial of anthrax."What does anthrax appear like from 200 miles from space? You cannot have a smoking gun picture" of chemical or biological weapons, said Black. "The strength of the case comes not from a smoking gun, but from a sales receipt for the gun along with a box of bullets."Black said it should be clear now that the inspections are failing inside their current form and that a fresh solution is needed."The inspection mechanism in position now isn't working. You might beef up inspectors, have inspectors with guns, but I don't think those ideas will be seriously considered."Referring to 18 trucks Powell said Iraq uses as mobile biological weapons labs, Black said, "Inspectors will never be going to put their hands on those trucks" as long as Iraq keeps moving them.He suggested Powell's address had also weakened the argument that this presence of the inspectors in Iraq was in the role of a safeguard against Bottom using or expanding his weapons programs. "They're still developing weapons even when inspectors are on the ground," said Black. "The notion that providing inspectors are there the problem won't get worse has been disproven now." Although initial reactions from key U.N. Security Council members suggest they're still unconvinced that this use of force is justified, Black says opponents have few arguments left. "The only real opposition is that war isn't an acceptable solution." But "barring a significant policy shift or major event in Baghdad," Black says war now appears inevitable."If someone may come up with that solution, they're value a Nobel Peace Prize."By Joel Roberts
black uggs If the state of Illinois had its way, 43-year-old former gang member Anthony Porter could be dead.Forty-eight hours before Porter's scheduled execution for that 1982 killings of a teen-age couple on Chicago's south side, his attorneys won a short lived stay based on mental fitness. A psychologist says Porter gets the IQ of a child." He or she is very, very lucky," said defense attorney Dan Sanders that has argued in court that Porter is "unable to be aware of the sentence he is facing?…and he is unable to assist his counsel in his defense."Prosecutor Thomas Gainer, however, contends that Porter is fit for execution and has evidence to prove it.CBS News Correspondent Cynthia Bowers reports that even though the courtroom debate over Porter's competence rages on, his defense had a boost Tuesday from a Northwestern University investigative team that provided new evidence targeted at persuading authorities to reopen Porter's case."Based on the investigation my students and I have conducted, " said David Protess, professor of journalism, " Anthony Porter is just not competent to be executed and the man may well be innocent."The investigation began like a class project and a crime re-enactment and become a full-blown investigation after the class found the state's onlysurviving eyewitness.William Andrew Taylor, whose testimony helped to convict Porter, now says his testimony was coerced by police and possesses signed an affidavit exonerating Porter."One, I was seen in the park when the shooting occurred, " he explained. Two, I did not see Anthony Porter shoot anyone."Many locally, including the mother of one from the victims, never believed Porter was the killer."I do not think he did it. I don't believe he killed my daughter," said Offie Green.Information from Mrs. Green led the Northwestern team completely to another suspect, a man who had been with the park with her daughter a night she was murdered. The scholars found him living in Milwaukee, where his estranged wife confessed to witnessing the killings."I was shaking to death. I used to be scared for my life," said Margaret Inez Simon, murder witness.On the basis of this new information, their state has agreed to re-examine Porter's case."Don't, you realize, hurt him," said Mrs. Green, who is hoping it's not too late for justice for Porter. "Don't loosen up to him. Let him live."
ugg australia Residents of Southhampton, an exclusive community with the tip of New York's Long Island, say their town is probably the most beautiful places on Earth.No less than, it used to be.A pile of blueprints are raising hackles inside the Hamptons. On farmland with an ocean view, Ira Rennert, a wealthy and reclusive mining magnate, offers to build his Xanadu. He's referred to it as a single-family home, but it will handle 110,000-square feet.It will dwarf Bill Gate's new compound, Hearst's San Simeon, and even Aaron Spelling's notoriously large California mansion. Rennert has declined to debate his plans, but his new neighbors are angry and frightened through the project, reports CBS News Correspondent Jacqueline Adams. "A 110,000-square-foot commercial structure with two bowling alleys, parking for 200 cars, an underground movie theater," complains one resident. He can't think that a review board approved the work Albert Bialeck and his wife, Sheila, live just in the road from the site. Disturbed by the project's 29 bedroom suites, industrial kitchen facilities, plus an on-site power plant, they formed a house owners' association to challenge Rennert's contention that his home will house just one family. "There's a fraud, you will find there's deception here," the Bialecks say."Had this come in for what it really was...the town board would have said we need a change in zoning," Albert Bialeck says. "We're likely to require an environmental impact statement.""There's plenty of jealousy going on here," says author Steven Gaines. "It's a few things i call palace envy."Gaines says the Hamptons are stacked end-to-end with mansions which can be huge. But at 10,000, even 20,000-square feet, they're still small compared to Rennert's proposed garage. "This is a very competitive place," adds Gaines. "He's built a place that's way too big because of its location, and it rankles his neighbors."Rennert's neighbors are lobbying town officials to revoke his building permits. Though his lawyers insist Rennert is constructing a home, they won't give assurances that the property will never be used as being a resort hotel. The local zoning board is considering challenges for the original decision to grant Rennert's building permit. A determination is expected in November. Fearing the worst, Southhampton's cultural and corporate elite continue to gird for battle. For once, earning the moniker, "Barbarians at the Gate."
cheap ugg boots online At a ceremony in St Peter's Square, a Pope known for stubborness and controversy demonstrated both qualities Sunday in canonizing a Jewish-born nun who died inside the gas chambers of Auschwitz. CBS News Correspondent Mark Phillips reports.She had been born Edith Stein to an orthodox Jewish family as to what is now Wroclaw Poland, but had changed into Catholicism. She became a nun -- Sister Teresia Benedicta -- while in her thirties. After fleeing to Holland, she was accumulated by the Nazis and sent to Auschwitz for extermination.Pope John Paul, who had admired Edith Stein's writings on philosophy, was a champion of her sainthood. In creating Saint Benedicta with the Cross this Sunday, he was quoted saying her life illuminated one of the darkest periods ever.Edith Stein"Edith Stein stands out as a beacon of light amid the terrible darkness which as marred this century," the pope said.It's not longer necessary to have performed magic to become a saint, but Edith Stein is credited with one. A Catholic girl in Massachussetts named Benedicta McCarthy is said to have survived a massive drug overdose because her family prayed to her namesake, the martyred nun.But a Pope who has otherwise sought to improve relations between Catholics and Jews has seemed insensitive to Jewish concerns this time around. Jewish groups have condemned the canonization, saying Stein died not because she was a Catholic, but because she had been a Jew."To beatify her can be a terrible mistake on the one hand, with an insult to the Jewish community and maybe this is some expression of guilt on the part of the church that she was surrended to the Nazis," said Ephraim Suroff from the Simon Weisenthal Center of Jewish Studies.Inspite of the controversy, and with some irony, the Catholic church Sunday created what may be the first Jewish-born Catholic saint since the use of the Apostles.
