OAKLAND, Calif. -- Protesters who have demonstrated against the Bay Area Rapid Transit system since a 2009 killing by an agency police officer have canceled plans to "occupy" two Oakland stations.
The San Francisco Chronicle says No Justice No BART group organizers say they were concerned the Wednesday's planned actions at the 12th Street and 19th Street stations might prevent people from using BART to participate in Bay Area marches by Occupy Oakland protesters.
Unlike last year, NY Jets' Bart Scott offers no insults of Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
We have grown accustomed to the bragging and boasting of Rex Ryan and his jolly green band of marauders.
For three years it has serenaded the ears of those who are routinely subjected to NFL coachspeak, which preaches the gospel of not ending up on someone’s locker room bulletin board.
NEW DELHI: Carmakers are offering discounts up to 20% on new units of models worst affected by a slowing demand and rising inventory, opening up more options for buyers.
Narinder Sethi, a cable operator in north Delhi, found this out to his pleasant surprise recently. He had ventured out to buy a second-hand Swift hatchback, but he returned home with a brand-new Estilo. The small car from the Maruti Suzuki stable cost him Rs 2.65 lakh excluding taxes, nearly a fifth less than the regular ex-showroom price, and cheaper than the available pre-owned Swifts.
Are you driving a used car and hoping it will be able to keep puttering along for at least one more year? You are not alone.
According to automotive information and marketing company R. L. Polk & Co., consumers, on average, are holding onto cars longer than they have in the past.
So with cars getting older and older, it is getting more and more important to recognize problems with your car early on before it is too late.
BRITS are clueless when it comes to how much a second hand car is worth, yet just a quarter double check the value of a vehicle with a professional.
Almost half of us (49%) say we lack confidence negotiating the right prices when selling a motor and one in five have bought a car without doing any research into the market value.

Unter den Browsern ist Google Chrome der große Gewinner des Jahres 2011. Während Microsofts Internet Explorer und Mozillas Firefox stetig Marktanteile verlieren, ist Chrome derzeit auf bestem Wege, der meistgenutzte Browser zu werden.
Anfangs von der etablierten Konkurrenz noch als »me too« Produkt belächelt, macht Google mit seinem Browser Chrome den Platzhirschen Microsoft und Mozilla inzwischen immer mehr Druck. Wie die aktuelle Statistik der Analysten von Statcounter [1] deutlich zeigt, konnte Chrome den beiden Konkurrenten in den vergangenen Monaten weltweit weitere Marktanteile abnehmen und wird so schon bald auf Augenhöhe mit dem Firefox angekommen sein.

Look, I’m all for supporting your team 100%, but sometimes a little common sense goes a long way. Sure the Houston Texans are leading the AFC South at 5-3, and sure, they have as good a chance as any to make it to Super Bowl XLVI, but as a fan do you really want to put that much faith in your team to make it to the big game that you get it permanently inked on your forearm?

Much of Madonna‘s recent spate of publicity has centered on the Material Girl’s new film ‘W.E.,’ which is a period piece biopic about Wallis Simpson, an American socialite in the early 1900s who married Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor (who was also King Edward VIII) of the U.K. He abdicated his throne for her, so it was quite the romance!

RENTON — This is uncharted territory for Pete Carroll.
Now we find out how he and his team will handle it.
"I'm not used to this," Carroll said following Sunday's 34-12 loss to Cincinnati that dropped the Seattle Seahawks to 2-5. "I'm not used to fighting out of situations like this."
Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday of November, yet despite being armed with this knowledge since childhood, we'll inevitably still find ourselves overwhelmed and scrambling at the last minute to get everything we need for the big day. But whether on the hunt for the perfect turkey, pie or centerpiece, local libations or kitchen equipment must-haves, it's good to know that we can find everything we need — much of it locally produced — at our favorite neighborhood spots.
Most of the 3,484 fans who showed up at Fifth Third Arena for the University of CincinnatiÂ’s first exhibition game Tuesday night probably were eager to see the newcomers in action for the first time.
But for UC coach Mick Cronin, the night was all about re-establishing the defensive tone that served the Bearcats so well last season.
WIEN (SN). Zufall oder Absicht? Ausgerechnet in dem Jahr, in dem die Parfümeriekette Marionnaud ihren zehnten Österreich-Geburtstag feiert, kommt die exklusive Make-up-Linie von Givenchy „Givenchy Le Makeup“ exklusiv in ausgewählte Filialen.

Das Konzept des Prismas wurde zum Erkennungszeichen: Vier Puder in unterschiedlichen Nuancen, mit zartem Relief, die mit dem Pinsel gemischt werden können. Das viereckige, schwarze Etui trägt das farbige, stilisierte 4G-Logo.

Inspired by the true story of director/writer David M. Rosenthal, Janie Jones follows rocker Ethan Brand (Alessandro Nivola), whose former flame (Elisabeth Shue) drops a 13-year-old girl (Abigail Breslin) in his lap, with the surprise news that she is his daughter. On the road in an attempt to get his career back, Ethan’s self-destructive behavior not only threatens the group’s future, but also any chance of having a relationship with his child. Once the two are left alone, Janie displays her own musical talent, giving the two something to bond over.
How did the Kardashians become who they are today? Much of their success is due to the multitasking skills of mom and manager Kris Jenner. In this thoughtful memoir, Kris Jenner talks about marriage, divorce, motherhood and faith. Here's an excerpt.
I know this sounds crazy, but this is exactly where I’m supposed to be: screaming through the streets of Paris in a chauffeur-driven Mercedes with my daughter Kimberly, on our way to see the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. How I got here has been a long, wild, and winding road, which we will get to in a moment. For now, I’m going to ask you to sit back and experience the ride.

Birk's agent, Joe Linta, confirmed Tuesday that the six-time Pro Bowl selection won his appeal of the fine.
NFL rules now require centers or guards to wear microphones on their pads, but Birk indicated that the listening device was uncomfortable to wear because it was touching his neck. So he took it off, and was fined.

The Winnipeg Jets are looking to regroup from one of their worst performances of the season and standing in their way is a team that has won only twice in 15 games.
But don’t think for a second the Jets are taking the 2-12-1 Columbus Blue Jackets lightly, not after a sub-par performance in a 5-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on Thursday at MTS Centre.

Australian actor Eric Bana will star as Elvis Presley in a film about the King's unlikely meeting with former US president Richard Nixon.
The film, creatively titled Elvis and Nixon, will tell the true story of how in 1970, Presley wrote Nixon a six-page letter suggesting he be made a "federal agent-at-large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. The singer then visited the White House on Nixon's invitation, bringing family photos and a pistol as a personal gift for the president.
Elvis Costello was an incendiary figure in his youth, defying authorities and executives who wanted to censor his music and performances — but now the eclectic singer/musician/songwriter is showing the world it’s OK to mellow with age.
In a recent Sesame Street episode, Costello made a guest appearance to sing a duet with Elmo about, in typical Sesame Street fashion, counting to 10 — the problem is, Cookie Monster ate the number 2 and he can’t count any higher. The chosen song was “Monster Went and Ate My Red 2” — a parody of Costello’s classic “(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes,” which appeared on his 1977 debut My Aim Is True and was also performed on Top of the Pops .

Michael Lohan è stato arrestato… di nuovo. Padre “esemplare” di Lindsay Lohan , l’uomo è stato portato via dal suo appartamento a Tampa, in Florida, per aver scatenato una rissa. Sono stati i vicini di casa ad avvisare i poliziotti, ma quando questi sono arrivati, Michael ha avvertito un malore.
Michael Lohan was arrested Tuesday morning for allegedly assaulting his ex-fiancee Kate Major . Major, you may recall, is a former Los Angeles journalist who gave up her job at Star magazine to date Jon Gosselin . So she’s guilty of terrible taste in men. But is she guilty of somehow causing Lohan to assault her?
