The woman was knocked unconscious after she was pushed off her bike about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday and punched and possibly kicked in the face, the Whittier Police Department said. The attackers fled when passersby came to help. The assault occurred on a section of the trail between Painter and Greenleaf avenues, police said. The only description of the men was that they were wearing dark clothing. The woman sustained injuries to her face, teeth, hands and elbows. She had regained consciousness when police and firefighters arrived and was taken to a hospital. Police said they had not established a motive, adding that the victim was not robbed.
tiffany uk shopBURLINGTON, Vt. -- Five local bike stores will donate 7 percent of their profits over the Fourth of July weekend to help fix up the causeway, a bike path favorite closed due to flooding. Skirack, Earl's Cyclery, Alpine Shop, North Star Sports and Old Spokes Home are all participating in the event July 1-3. "This cause to repair the causeway and Island Line Ferry up to the islands is as important as it could be," Earl's Cyclery owner Roger Frey said.
Frey and Skirack owner Zandy Wheeler said that they wanted to come together, despite being competitors, to help repair the causeway, a stretch of the bike path that extends across Lake Champlain. The causeway attracts thousands of bikers each year, including many that take bike tours of the area. "They've had to cancel over 30 trips (this summer). If you do the math, the raw dollars for those 30 trips is $450,000," Frey said. More information on the promotion and how to donate yourself is available at www.localmotion.org. MANCHESTER, NH -- Surveillance video of a family’s porch caught thieves who stole a bike from a New Hampshire home.
tiffany necklace silverThe family had a camera on their porch because they’ve been targeted before by thieves. They also said that this isn’t about the bike; it’s about putting an end to the crime in their neighborhood. The video shows a young man walking casually onto the family’s porch, picking up the bicycle and walking away with it. The bicycle belongs to 8-year-old Colby Lyman. “[My mom said] it was on tape and I was just happy because I want to catch him,” said Colby. The cameras caught the suspect taking the bike, but also caught the suspect and his alleged accomplice scoping out the home - they rode by the home prior to the theft. tiffany necklace white gold
The suspect also walked past the empty driveway. “You can see the camera sitting right there. Police couldn’t believe it. He just walked up in the daylight like he owned the place. It’s pretty brazen,” said a man. The family has had their cars broken into and have already had two other bikes stolen, that’s why they installed security cameras outside of their home. tiffany cufflinks
Since the theft happened, they posted the video on YouTube, hoping that someone will recognize the suspect. “We might as well do something with it. Maybe it’ll save some other neighbors from having something stolen,” said a man. “I know it’s not the crime of the century,” said Liz Lyman. “But I think it’s pretty important. I think you have to stop it somewhere before it keeps escalating and that’s what we’re hoping to do.” Police said they are very impressed with the surveillance video and they have gotten tips and have excellent leads. tiffany charms
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York man was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison on Wednesday for his part in a brutal 1997 home invasion in which a woman was burned alive and a man tortured with an iron, the Manhattan District Attorney's office said. Daniel Santana, 35, a fugitive for 11 years, was convicted of murder with "depraved indifference to human life" and kidnapping charges on June 13. "The facts of this case are truly chilling," District Attorney Cyrus Vance said in a statement. "A woman was burned alive, individuals were tortured, and the perpetrators of this heinous crime were at large for more than a decade. Pandora Charms On Sale
" According to court documents, Santana and armed accomplices entered a Harlem apartment on December 7, 1997 looking for drugs. Three people inside were tied up with wire hangers, and a man was tortured with a hot iron and shocked with electricity. Another victim, Carmen Maria, had acetone poured down her pants by a co-defendant, Rafael Perez, and was set on fire. She died eight hours later with burn injuries over nearly all her body.

The major break in the case came in 2001 when an incarcerated cousin of Santana's told detectives about Santana's involvement in the crime. Santana was arrested in 2008. A spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney's office said the surviving victims were not located until 2008 because they had fled the country without reporting the crime after receiving threats from associates of Santana and Perez. Perez is still a fugitive and is thought to be in the Dominican Republic. GRETNA, La. (AP) — A Louisiana man whose 1975 murder conviction was commuted by then-Gov. Edwin Edwards has been indicted in the shooting death of his neighbor. Pandora Bangles
A grand jury handed up a second-degree murder charge Thursday against 62-year-old Roy Garland of Kenner.

Yupeng Deng gave himself the title "Supreme Commander" when he was running his fictitious unit, and he promised recruits their time in his squad was a path to U.S. citizenship. A Chinese national from the Los Angeles suburb of El Monte, Deng convinced over 200 Chinese nationals from around the United States to join, and charged them initiation fees ranging from $300 to $450. He was arrested in April following an investigation by the FBI and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service.

Investigators also found child pornography when they served a search warrant at his home, and as a result Deng also pleaded guilty to possessing the porn. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jack Hunt sentenced Deng to three years in prison. Pandora Bracelets Online
Deng gave his recruits military uniforms, had them parade in a Los Angeles suburb, and took them to the decommissioned USS Midway aircraft carrier, which is a museum in San Diego, authorities said.

tiffany mens necklaceJEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A deadly tornado that devastated the southwest Missouri city of Joplin could result in federal authorities paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in landfill dumping fees to Missouri and Kansas. As of Tuesday, federal contractors had cleared a little more than one-fourth of the debris from homes, roads and public areas following a May 22 tornado that killed 156 people, injured hundreds of others and damaged about 8,000 homes and businesses. For each ton of debris taken to a landfill, Missouri collects of fee of $2.11. Kansas charges $1 per ton at its landfills. Federal officials estimate they will remove 300,000 tons of debris from homes and public right-of-ways. Private companies are paying to remove a substantial but unknown amount of additional debris from businesses. tiffany uk
The debris is being taken to several different landfills in southwest Missouri and southeast Kansas. In Kansas, it's "what we're calling a windfall in revenue from this," said Bill Bider, director of Kansas Bureau of Waste Management. "We're going to utilize some of that to help some of our own disaster relief in Kansas." In a typical year, the Kansas landfill fee generates about $4.5 million, Bider said. tiffany accessories
The Joplin tornado is expected to generate additional fees equal to almost one-tenth of that annual amount, he said. Some of the additional money will go toward the cleanup from a May 21 tornado that hit the small town of Reading, Kan., killing one man and destroying or substantially damaging more than 50 homes, Bider said. Other areas of Kansas that suffered storm damage also could benefit from the additional landfill fees resulting from the Joplin tornado, he said. In Missouri, where landfill dumping generated $10.8 million last fiscal year, the Joplin tornado will create a smaller proportional influx of fees.
tiffany pendants The state plans to distribute the additional revenues according to its normal formula, with 39 percent going to the administration of the state's waste management program in the Department of Natural Resources and 61 percent getting split among regional solid waste management districts. "The additional tonnage fees that may be generated will be reinvested back into the local solid districts that need additional resources to deal with increased debris as a result of natural disasters," Sara Parker Pauley, director of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, said in an emailed statement. tiffany earrings
"These fees, which are largely paid by the public sector, are critical to ensure the tremendous amount of debris is handled in a safe and secure manner." The Federal Emergency Management Agency currently is paying contractors the full cost for the Joplin debris removal and at some later point will submit a bill to the state for the local share of the cleanup costs, said FEMA spokesman Josh deBerge. The tornado already has been a boon for companies providing demolition, debris removal, dumping and landfill services. Prairie View Regional Landfill, about 40 miles north of Joplin, has been accepting between 60 and 100 truckloads of debris daily from Joplin — doubling the tonnage of trash it normally receives, said operations manager Chuck Goff. tiffany bracelet
"It's a very unfortunate, tragic thing that happened, but for the whole area, the work's picking up all over the place," Goff said. The landfill at Galena, Kan. — located just a few miles from where the tornado touched down in Joplin — had been run by one man with a loader, said Galena Mayor Dale Oglesby. After the tornado, Galena contracted with Joplin-based Jordan Disposal Services to manage the landfill so that it could handle the influx of tornado debris. The company already has hired 30 people to operate the landfill, and plans to hire nearly a couple dozen more. tiffany necklace
About 350 trucks a day — a tenfold increase over the landfill's prior traffic flow — now are hauling Joplin debris to Galena, said Quincy Jordan, manager of the company's demolition division. The landfill is providing free lunches of hamburgers or hotdogs, chips and water to the steady flow of truck drivers, she said. Galena officials have discussed the potential of turning part of the landfill — when it is full and covered with dirt — into a memorial park dedicated to tornado victims and survivors, Oglesby said. "It's a terrible thing that Joplin's had to go through," Oglesby said. But "a lot of people are going to have a job because of this. A lot of materials are going to be sold and a lot of materials are going to be disposed of. cheap tiffany and co jewelry
VATICAN CITY (AP) — International Jewish groups have called on the Vatican to sanction a prominent Polish priest who they say uses his media empire to foment anti-Semitism. They acted after the Rev. Tadeusz Rydzyk caused uproar in Poland by calling his country a totalitarian state that "hasn't been ruled by Poles since 1939." Though he did not mention Jews by name, his language echoed that of anti-Semites who claim that Jews hold excessive power in Poland and that Polish Jews are not "real Poles" with Polish interests at heart. The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. tiffany necklace
Federico Lombardi, took the church's distance Monday, saying Rydzyk must assume responsibility for his own remarks. But he did not raise the possibility of punishment. The World Jewish Congress called on the Vatican Tuesday to expel Rydzyk from his order of priests. The Simon Wiesenthal Center said he should be excommunicated. Rydzyk made the comments last week at the European Parliament, days before Poland takes over the rotating presidency of the European Union, which Warsaw sees as a chance to improve its image on the European stage. tiffany bracelet
Poland's Foreign Ministry took the unusual step of sending a diplomatic note to the Vatican accusing the priest of "harming the image of Poland abroad." Rydzyk runs a conservative media empire that includes the Catholic station Radio Maryja and the television station Trwam, both popular among some conservative, nationalist Poles. He has come under fire in the past from international Jewish organizations.
"The tragedy of Poland is that Poland hasn't been ruled by Poles since 1939," Rydzyk said, according to Polish media reports on the speech. He added that, "this isn't an issue of blood or affiliation," but that those who rule Poland today "do not love in a Polish way, do not have a Polish heart." He also said Poland today is a totalitarian and "uncivilized country." The number of Jews in Poland today is tiny. tiffany men's necklace
There were 3.5 million Jews in Poland before World War II, but most were murdered by Germany during the Holocaust and many of those who survived fled anti-Semitic violence and prejudice when they returned to their homes after the war. Elan Steinberg, vice president of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and their Descendants, called the views vile. "Rydzyk's comments were the same chilling words of hate we heard from the virulent anti-Semites in pre-war Poland where more than three million of our people were murdered during the Holocaust. tiffany necklace silver
They are a vile offense not only to the memory of the victims of the wartime slaughter of Polish Jewry but were also an insult to all citizens of modern Poland," said Steinberg. Rydzyk apologized in an interview published Tuesday in the Nasz Dziennik daily for some of his remarks, but not those seen as anti-Semitic. "I did not say in the European Parliament that we have a totalitarian system in Poland. If someone misunderstood me, I apologize," Rydzyk said. -- AP writer Monika Scislowska contributed from Warsaw. tiffany necklace white gold

"I realise that there is no excuse for my behaviour and the fact is, i should have known better - especially given my close friendship with (indigenous teammates) Nathan Djerrkura, Liam Jones and Josh Hill. "I am devastated and want everyone to know that this is completely out of character and will never happen again."

“The Western Bulldogs not only embrace and celebrate diversity, we are proud and active champions for tolerance and social inclusion in our community. “We will use this incident as a catalyst to ensure we continue to play a leading role in promoting and facilitating programs that teach acceptance and respect.” Sherman, a former Lion, has also agreed to attend an education program and donate $5000 to a charity of the Suns' choice. AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson said all parties were comfortable with Sherman continuing to play in the VFL. Pandora Charms
Asked how bad the abuse was, he replied: "It was bad enough. And it should never happen." Mr Anderson said while there was nothing to stop the aggrieved player going public, authorities had been informed he did not want to speak publicly about the incident. He said the AFL had "made every effort" to resolve the issue "as quickly and effectively as we can". "Each case involves a conciliator and they work out what they believe is appropriate in the circumstances of the case, and in this case they clearly thought (a four-week ban) was appropriate," he said. "It was agreed between the parties involved. Pandora Charms On Sale
" Mr Anderson said it had been the first on-field racism incident since 1999, describing the abuse as an "aberration". He said such behaviour would not be tolerated and that he hoped to never see it again. "The AFL will not accept any form of vilification in our game and will continue to act strongly and immediately in this area," Mr Anderson said. "I want to acknowledge the way in which the Gold Coast Suns and the Western Bulldogs have addressed this issue with the utmost importance, and also to acknowledge Justin Sherman for taking responsibility for his actions. "To Justin Sherman's credit, he acknowledged what he'd done, he's put his hand up." Pandora Beads
Graves continues campaign for justice A Texas man exonerated from death row last year shared a message of hope and advocacy with the Third Ward community Sunday. "The very system that almost took my life for something I did not do still exists. Cheap Pandora Charms
Yet I am still hopeful," Anthony Graves, 45, told a crowd at the S.H.A.P.E. Community Center. Graves spread the same message during a recent speaking tour in Germany, France, Sweden and Switzerland. "I went to educate people about the death penalty and the flaws of our system," said Graves, who spent 18 years behind bars, 12 of them on death row, for the murders of a grandmother and five children in Somerville.
Pandora Charms SaleRobert Carter, who confessed to the killings, absolved Graves of the crime in his final statement moments before his execution in 2000. He said he lied during his testimony against Graves. The federal appeals court found that the prosecution withheld statements crucial to the defense and elicited false statements from witnesses during the 1994 trial. Pandora Charms Online
"Along the way I have had bumps and let-downs, but things always end up prevailing on the side of justice," said Graves, who was released in October. Adjusting to a life of freedom has been difficult, Graves said. Technology has changed drastically and even everyday tasks like driving in rush hour can seem overwhelming. "I have been isolated for so long," Graves said. "It took a long time for me to get used to driving in traffic." Young people in attendance were astonished to hear Graves' story. Ja'Mel Buckner, 19, says he does not want to end up in a parallel predicament.
Pandora Beads Charms"This can happen to anyone, and his story should be carefully listened to by everyone," said Buckner. Graves is set to receive $1.4 million; however, he is not exactly ecstatic about the compensation for his incarceration. "This is a bittersweet moment," said Graves. "I did not win the lottery." Gov. Rick Perry signed into law in-state compensation for people wrongfully imprisoned after it passed the House and Senate in May.
Pandora Charms for bracelets This allows Graves to collect $80,000 for each year he was imprisoned. Texas Comptroller Susan Combs in February denied Graves the compensation because the document ordering his release did not contain the words "actual innocence." Graves has filed a lawsuit against the Attorney General's Office. "I want a decree from the state of Texas saying I am actually innocent," said Graves. "I have a right to have my name re-established." Pandora Earrings
