Lawyers for Michael Jackson's doctor seek delay in trial

Conrad Murray, the physician who is charged with causing Michael Jackson's death, is urging a judge to delay his upcoming trial so that lawyers can revisit the issue of sequestering the jury.

A Los Angeles County judge denied Murray's lawyer's request to have the jury sequestered during a hearing in August.

On Friday, lawyers for Murray filed an emergency petition asking for the trial to be delayed.wholesales mac Lip gloss

America raises recession alarm as London escapes early freefall

America raises recession alarm as London escapes early freefall

The US Federal Reserve promised to keep interest rates in the world's largest economy at rock-bottom levels well into 2013, in a signal that it is increasingly worried about a double-dip recession.


The central bank's declaration cheered investors who had been selling stocks relentlessly for the best part of a week, fearful that policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic have run out of ammunition to stimulate faltering economies. A big rally on Wall Street was the result, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average of US shares recovering 430 of the 635 points it lost in the previous session.

The Fed has held official US interest rates at zero since December 2008, but yesterday was the first time it has set a timeline for keeping monetary policy that easy, and it had immediate effects across the financial markets. Interest rates on some US government bonds, whose rise and fall is reflected in borrowing costs for millions of American homebuyers and businesses, crashed to never-before-seen lows.

"Downside risks to the economic outlook have increased," the Fed conceded last night, justifying its move, which came after a fractious meeting of its interest rate-setting committee. Three of the ten members dissented.

Traders expect the newfound optimism in the US to radiate to other world stock markets this morning, even if no one was making predictions on how long it might last. Days of selling pressure has pushed some markets down almost 20 per cent from their recent peaks – a decline that would qualify as a "bear market".

BUY OR RENT

BUY OR RENT

One of the main problems of the Israeli housing market, according to Prof. Elia Werczberger of Tel Aviv University, is that few new house is built for renting. It results in a situation where there is an increased demand for apartments to be rent but not enough apartments in the market, which will push up prices as people are forced to rent on the private market which is unregulated.

"There is a significant house renting stock that now is vacant. A lot of apartments have been bought by people as an investment or weekend housing," Werczberger said.

He added that if the treasury would be willing to provide tax exemptions for people or corporations that are willing to rent, allowing them not to pay tax on their income from renting, then that would provide a very significant addition to the housing stock.

However, current regulations favor owning over renting, Werczberber said, "In order to solve the housing problem you would have to have a complete change in the housing policy."

He doubted whether Netanyahu or anyone else would be interested in imposing a housing policy that would lead the prices to decline and the property to lose some of its value.

Barton given free transfer by Newcastle

Barton given free transfer by Newcastle
Cheap Women jerseys for sale
Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton has been told he can leave the Premier League team on a free transfer after his stormy relationship with the club finally reached breaking point.
Barton was already unhappy with Newcastle's decision to allow captain Kevin Nolan to join West Ham during the close-season and his mood wasn't improved by the recent breakdown of talks over a new contract.
The 28-year-old showed his frustrations with Newcastle owner Mike Ashley and the club's directors with a series of angry posts on the micro-blogging website Twitter.Dallas Cowboys jerseys wholesale
Writing after Sunday's 3-2 friendly defeat at Leeds, Barton claimed another Twitter post from Newcastle team-mate Jose Enrique, which led to the Spaniard being fined after he accused the club of lacking ambition, was typical of the unhappy atmosphere among the players.
"If only we as players could tell the fans exactly how it is, without them above fining us lots of money. There will be a time and a place," he said.
"If it wouldn't effect team morale and cause unrest within the dressing room, am certain Jose's comments would be the tip of the iceberg."
"And again it would be left to those magnificent fans to pick up the remnants of their once great football club."
He then claimed he would make an announcement about his future on Twitter at 1500GMT on Monday, but Newcastle pre-empted that move by announcing Barton will be placed on the transfer list and allowed to leave for free a year before the end of his contract.
"Newcastle United can confirm that Joey Barton has been placed on the transfer list," a statement on the club's website read. "The player has been advised he can leave the club on a free transfer."SuperBowl jerseys wholesale
Barton responded to the news by claiming he had been forced out by the club's hierarchy.
"Somewhere in those high echelons of NUFC, they have decided, I am persona non grata," he wrote.
"I am on a free but the honour of wearing (Newcastle's) black and white stripes surpasses that."
"One day the board might realise, what the shirt signifies. Honour and pride. Thanks for your continued support."
Probowl jerseys wholesale
Manchester United and Arsenal have both been linked with moves for Barton during the close-season and there is likely to be a scramble for the 28-year-old's services involving a host of top-flight teams despite his often-controversial actions.
Barton has never been far from the spotlight at Newcastle following his ￡5.8 million ($9.4 million) move from Manchester City in June 2007.

Shortly after his transfer, he served a 77-day prison sentence after being found guilty of assault following an incident in Liverpool.
Barton was also given a suspended four-month sentence for a training ground assault on then City team-mate Ousmane Dabo, which earned him a six-match ban upon his release from jail.
He was briefly suspended by the club after a clash with interim manager Alan Shearer as Newcastle were relegated in 2009, but resolved his differences and helped the Magpies win promotion from the Championship under new boss Chris Hughton.
