 http://www.airmaxshoesforsale.net | | COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — He's 30, between jobs, with $50,000 in student debt and no clear sense what the future holds. But Erik Santamaria, Ohio-born son of Salvadorans, has a pretty awesome attitude about his country, his life and the world of possibilities."Maybe things won't work out the way I want," he says. "But, boy, I sure can't complain about how things have worked out so far."This is the sweet spot of American optimism, a trait that looms large in the nation's history and imagination. To find it these days, talk to an immigrant, the child of one or, failing that, a young person of any background,Christian Louboutin Pumps. That's where the torch seems most likely to burn brightly.With anyone else, it's hit or miss.For many, these times are a slog.That "shining city on a hill" from political mythology looks more like a huffing climb up a field filled with ticks. Public opinion researchers find handwringing at almost every turn, over a glum and nervous decade defined by terrorism, then war, then recession, then paltry economic recovery.Still, you aren't seeing pessimism in the season of the political conventions.The Democrats, convening Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C., want to corner the franchise on happier tomorrows, just as the Republicans wanted at their convention this past week. The notion that America's best days are ahead comes packaged and polished from the stage, cheered by delegates in goofy hats.But such platitudes probably won't go far with Marie Holly, 54.On her lunch break in a mall just north of Columbus, Holly recounts a struggle to get by as a temporary floor designer at a department store,Nike Air Max, making one-third of the salary she once earned at a graphics-design firm that cut hours and wages before she quit in January to freelance. She firmly believes in the American Dream, but in the sense of dreaming it, not grasping it,Supra Womens Vaider Shoes."I'm not seeing anything to strive for, I guess," she said. "I'm settling."Polls sing the blues:— Nearly two-thirds lack confidence that life for today's children will be better than it has been for today's adults, according to an NBC-Wall Street Journal survey in May.— Half of registered voters do not see the U.S. as the shining city on a hill, meaning the example for other countries, though 45 percent do, according to a Fox News poll in June.— In April 2011, a USA Today-Gallup poll found that optimism that the next generation's lives will be better than parents' dropped to its lowest level since the question was asked in 1983. Only 42 percent thought so. Before then, majorities always believed their children would have a better life.— In a dramatic drop from the late 1990s and early 2000s, just over one-third were satisfied with the U.S. position in the world in a February Gallup poll, down from at least two-thirds in the months before and after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.Younger people, though, typically see a rosier future than older generations. As long as that holds, optimism stays woven in the nation's fabric.In an August Associated Press-Gfk poll, only about half said it's likely that today's youth will have a better standard of living than their parents. But optimism was the greatest among those who have the farthest to climb — those of modest to low income, and the young themselves.In the poll, 55 percent of those earning under $50,000 said it's likely the next generation will do better; 58 percent of those under 35 expect to have a better life than their parents.So it seems to be with Santamaria. He possesses both the idealism of his recently completed college years and the belief, perhaps stirred by his immigrant parents, that this is a land of options."Their dream for me would be picking the tallest building out here and making the most money," he said, sitting on a picnic table outside a downtown Columbus market with friends, and gesturing to the cityscape.Before getting his English literature degree in June, he worked at the Limited Brands in Columbus, where he was responsible for communicating with managers and customs officers to make sure paperwork for overseas Bath & Body Works stores was properly handled."I know people are really struggling out there," he says. "But I looked for a f |

http://www.manoloblahnikshoesusa.com | KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — Sudan withdrew its army Tuesday from the disputed Abyei border region that contains rich oil fields and is contested by neighboring South Sudan, handing it over to U.N. forces, the United Nations said.The U.N. peacekeeping mission in Abyei confirmed that the withdrawal of the Sudanese Armed Forces from the Abyei area was completed late Tuesday evening local time, Kieran Dwyer, spokesman for the U.N. peacekeeping department in New York, told The Associated Press.The Sudan Media Center, a semiofficial media agency, also reported the pullout and quoted Al-Khair al-Faheem Mekki, co-chairman of the committee that oversaw the handover, as saying Ethiopian troops would fill the vacuum and maintain security.The decision to pull the military out of Abyei comes as Sudanese officials were scheduled to meet with their South Sudanese counterparts Tuesday in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.The talks followed an escalation in fighting between the two sides last month.Sudanese military spokesman Col. Sawarme Khalid Saad told reporters that the redeployment would help talks with South Sudan.In a statement issued late Monday, Saad also denied reports that Sudan's army had attacked the disputed north-south border earlier that day."We have nothing to do with what happens in the South," Saad said. ",Jimmy Choo Ugg Boots;The army has not crossed the international frontiers.",Ugg Tassel Short 5835;South Sudan military spokesman Col. Philip Aguer said Monday the country's Western Bahr-el-Ghazal,Nike Air Max Solas 09, Northern Bahr-el-Ghazal and Unity states weathered three days of Sudanese bombardment.The two countries are set to resume tough negotiations on issues left over from the 2005 peace deal that eventually saw South Sudan break away from Sudan to form an independent nation in July last year after more than two decades of civil war,Nike Air Max 97.Among the most contentious issues are the separation of their once-unified oil industry and the demarcation of the long and ill-defined border.The negotiations are led by former South African President Thabo Mbeki, who has been unable to push the two sides closer to a deal.Sudan's withdrawal of troops would be followed by the creation of a police force,www.airmaxshoesforsale.net, a local administration and parliament for the territory, Khartoum's official in charge of Abyei affairs Mekki told state Radio Omdurman.The U.N. Security Council this month extended its security force's mission in Abyei, which includes about 4,000 peacekeepers,UGG classic cardy, and demanded that Sudan withdraw its troops from the region following South Sudan's removal of about 700 police officers in early May.___Associated Press Writer Edith M. Lederer contributed to this report from the United Nations

http://www.airmaxshoesforsale.net | | ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — Glory Johnson figures that in the past she might have slugged an opponent in such a physical game.Instead, she kept her cool and Tennessee moved on.The Lady Vols would love nothing more than to make another Final Four with Pat Summitt, and they moved one step closer Monday, beating DePaul 63-48 in the second round of the NCAA tournament.Shekinna Stricklen scored 17 points and Johnson grabbed a career-high 21 rebounds.Vicki Baugh scored 16 for the Lady Volunteers (26-8), who grabbed a double-digit lead early in the second half and closed out a physical game in which players seemed to hit the floor about as often as they hit shots."My whole attitude has kind of developed over time," said Johnson, a senior. "That's something I thank my teammates for and my coaches. They always kind of keep me composed and say, 'The refs will handle it.' Or, 'We'll talk to the refs. We'll talk to the refs, don't worry about it, keep playing as hard as you can.' I just rely on my teammates and my coaches and trust them. If I keep working,www.suprasneakersamerica.com, they'll handle it. As a freshman, that wasn't going to happen. All I knew is if someone ticked me off, I'd hit them back. I'm a lot more composed."The referees didn't call many fouls, with Tennessee attempting 18 free throws and DePaul just five, and both teams got their share of bumps and bruises along the way."It's a big girls' game," Johnson said.And she figures it won't get easier from here.Tennessee stretched a five-point halftime lead to 12 early in the second half and was up 42-29 after a hook shot by Baugh with 11:41 remaining. The Lady Vols remained in control from there and moved closer toward their ultimate goal — a 19th Final Four and ninth NCAA title,Nike Air Max 97.The powerhouse program hasn't been that far since it repeated as champions in 2008, a nearly four-year drought that might as well be four decades given its history.If the Lady Vols have another reason to make it to Denver.Summitt announced in early August that she has early onset dementia,www.bootsforsaleuk.com, Alzheimer's type, and she might not coach beyond this season,Nanolo Blahnik Outlet Online. There have been ups and downs on the court, too,Manolo Blahnik Pumps, but Tennessee appears to be in stride at the moment, with six straight wins after improving to 20-0 against the Blue Demons.Tennessee routed DePaul in December in New York and prevailed this time on the court where the Blue Demons' men's team plays most of its home games.The Lady Vols shot just over 37 percent but prevailed anyway thanks to a huge rebounding advantage, particularly in the second half. The final tally was 51-31 after Tennessee outrebounded the Blue Demons by two in the first half.Anna Martin scored 20 points for DePaul (23-11), but a difficult season came to an end. The Blue Demons were hit hard by injuries, losing star Keisha Hampton (knee), and were forced to go with a seven-player rotation."I think a lot of people counted us out, but we're not that kind of program and we proved that in making the NCAA tournament in the first place and then pushing through into the second round," forward Katherine Harry said.DePaul made its 10th straight NCAA, but came up short against one of the marquee programs.No other school has made all 31 NCAA tournaments, and the only time Tennessee failed to reach the Sweet 16 was in 2009, when the Lady Vols got knocked out in the first round, a year after capturing their eighth championship. The only player left from that team is Baugh. ",Nike Air Max 90;I think in the past, they've looked ahead," associate head coach Holly Warlick said. "I think they thought if they put a Tennessee uniform on |
