(AP) SEOUL, South Korea – South Korea’s navy fired warning shots Friday toward North Korean fishing boats that crossed a disputed maritime boundary, but the shots didn’t hit the fishing boats, which retreated, a South Korean official said. No North Korean navy ships were involved in the incident along a tense western sea boundary that the North has long refused to recognize, an official with South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said, speaking anonymously because of office policy. Violence often erupts in the seafood rich Yellow Sea waters claimed by both countries. Boats routinely jostle for position during crab-catching season, and three deadly naval clashes since 1999 have taken a few dozen lives. The disputed sea boundary is not clearly marked, and incursions by North Korean military and fishing boats are not unusual. Russia writes off most North Korean debtNew U.S. missile defense site slated for JapanHints of reform in North Korea Just last week North Korean fishing boats crossed the boundary but retreated soon after being warned by the South. Seoul says North Korean fishing boats also crossed the boundary in April. The Korean War ended nearly 60 years ago with a truce, not with a peace treaty, so the U.S.-led U.N. Command divided the Yellow Sea without Pyongyang’s consent. The boundary favored South Korea, cutting North Korea off from rich fishing waters and boxing in one of...

The book, currently untitled, will be co-authored by Sports Illustrated’s Tom Verducci and will include Torre’s memories of the Yankees, 카지노사이트 with whom he won four World Series championships, and general thoughts on the game. Doubleday, an imprint of Random House Inc., will publish the book in the spring of 2009. “Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees,” Torre said in a statement issued Thursday by Doubleday. “It was a wonderful 12 years and I look forward to sharing my thoughts and perspective on how the game has evolved.” According to Doubleday, Torre will explain his “decision to walk way from the job of manager of the Yankees, but only as the endgame in explaining in unprecedented detail what history will record as the `Torre Era.”‘ Torre signed a three-year, $13 million contract to manage the Dodgers last Thursday, exactly two weeks after walking away from the New York Yankees when they offered a one-year contract worth $5 million plus $3 million in performance bonuses he termed “an insult.” The Yankees were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs this fall and haven’t won a World Series since 2000. Torre completed a three-year, $19.2 million contract with the Yankees this year. Financial terms of Torre’s book were not disclosed. The biggest sports book deal in recent memory was for tennis great Andre Agassi,...

(CBS/AP) MADRID – The lawyers for an elderly Spanish woman who made global headlines when she botched the restoration of a fresco of Jesus Christ say she has no interest in a cut of the tourism windfall her work has brought her northeastern Spanish town. But the attorneys are gearing up to put a stop to potential copyright violations of what she created – even though she had not set out to create anything at all. “We want to put some order to this anarchy,” said Antonio Val Carreras Rivera, one of her lawyers. “You do this little by little under legality, and our job is to coordinate to prevent third parties from profiting. We are at the beginning now, we can’t say if she has rights.” The church fresco in the town of Borja was for decades a little-known piece of religious art by a minor Spanish artist. Following the disastrous touch-up, revealed in August, it has found a new fate as a global icon – used to sell products around the world. The fresco depicts Christ with a crown of thorns before crucifixion, in a style style known as “Ecce Homo” (Behold the Man). It stood in peaceful obscurity in the Misericordia Sanctuary since its creation in 1930 – until Gimenez, a longtime devotee of the work, decided it needed to be rescued from flaking caused by...

(CBS/AP) JERUSALEM – Israel’s prime minister has expressed his dissatisfaction with Washington’s refusal to spell out what would provoke a U.S.-led military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. Washington wants to give diplomacy and sanctions more time to try to pressure Iran to abandon its suspect nuclear work. In a message aimed at Israel, the Obama administration said several times this week that deadlines or “red lines” are counterproductive. U.S.: Israeli pressure over Iran “not useful”AP: IAEA has new evidence of Iran nuke workU.S., Israel play diplomatic chicken over Iran But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says peaceful methods are not working, and Iran is getting closer to acquiring a nuclear bomb. His remarks have generated speculation Israel is readying to strike on its own. Netanyahu said on Tuesday that “those in the international community who refuse to draw a red line on Iran have no moral right to draw a red line for Israel.” Israeli leaders have been hinting at a possible military strike to stop Iran from acquiring an atomic weapon. The U.S. says sanctions and 삼척출장샵 diplomacy should be given more time. Israel sees a nuclear Iran as an existential threat, due to its arch foe’s frequent calls for Israel’s destruction, its missile program and support for violent groups such as Hamas and...
