OTTAWA Cheap Winnipeg Jets Jersey , Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- A high-ranking Canadian official is in Pyongyang to negotiate the release of an imprisoned Canadian pastor, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported Tuesday.


A spokesperson for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed that a Canadian delegation is in Pyongyang now, the capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), CBC said.


Pyongyang media reported Monday that Daniel Jean, Trudeau's national security and intelligence adviser Cheap Washington Capitals Jersey , is in Pyongyang leading a delegation to discuss the case of Toronto Presbyterian pastor Hyeon Soo Lim.


""Obviously, Pastor Lim's health and well-being remain of utmost importance to the government of Canada as we continue to engage on this case,"" CBC quoted Cameron Ahmad, media relations manager for the Prime Minister's Office, as saying.


Since early summer this year Cheap Vegas Golden Knights Jersey , Lim has been suffering from high blood pressure and stomach pains, according to letters to his friends. His family has urged the Canadian prime minister to personally save his life.


The 62-year-old Canadian Korean pastor was arrested in 2015 and charged with harming the dignity of the supreme leadership and trying to use religion to destroy the DPRK system, among others.


CBC news also reported that a senior official of the Trudeau government confirmed that Jean is leading the delegation as the Canadian prime minister's special envoy, and that while his focus is the release of Lim, he would also be free to ""discuss other issues of regional concern.""


The Canadian delegation arrived on the same day U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Pyongyang would be met ""with fire and fury and Cheap Vancouver Canucks Jersey , frankly, power the likes of which the world has never seen before,"" if it does not stop threatening the United States.


The senior official said the timing of the delegation's visit to Pyongyang is based on the condition of Lim, and not directly related to the increasing world tensions associated with Pyongyang's missile tests and last weekend's imposition of further sanctions by the United Nations.

NEW YORK Cheap Toronto Maple Leafs Jersey , Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York City, Monday unveiled a proposal for a ""millionaires tax"" to help fix the city's beleaguered subways.


The plan would tax city residents with annual incomes of more than 500,000 U.S. in order to raise money for the subway improvements of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), de Blasio said at a press conference at the city's Brooklyn Borough Hall.


The roughly 0.5-percent income tax hike would apply to the roughly 1 percent of the city's taxpayers would generate about 800 million dollars annually Cheap Tampa Bay Lightning Jersey , and it would also fund reduced-price MetroCards for low-income riders.


The mayor called for lawmakers of the New York State, which runs the MTA, to pass the proposal ""so the rest of us can live our lives here in the city.""


Joseph J. Lhota, MTA Chairman rolled out a nearly 1-billion-U.S.-dollar emergency subway repair plan late July, promising to put the brake on nightmarish delays and derailments of the subways within one year. He suggested the city and the state split the cost evenly.


New York's subway has long been the lifeblood of the city. However Cheap St. Louis Blues Jersey , the number of subway delays partly due to the aging infrastructure tripled in the past five years, to 70,000 per month, according to a report last month. About 5.7 million people take the subway on an average weekday.

" Over the past few years Cheap San Jose Sharks Jersey , there have been some big scandals in the NBA over referees gambling. This has been a huge controversy because if it would have been detected earlier it easily could have meant that different teams would have made it to the finals and won a championship. Knowing that referees were gambling on games means that they were throwing them one way or another. Any die-hard sports fan cringes at the thought of certain games or series going a different way had the referees not cheated.

The biggest scandal to happen in recent years is that of Tim Donaghy. He was caught a couple years ago, but his gambling began much earlier, around 2003. He began placing general bets around this time but by December of 2006 he was releasing sensitive information to gamblers. He and his buddy Jimmy Battista began a gambling strategy that included Donaghy getting $2000 - $5000 for every bet he guaranteed with his calls. He would tip off high-stakes gamblers with some inside info and careful recommendations on what teams to gamble on. If he was right he was paid around five thousand dollars a pop. Once he was convicted, he was released on a $250,000 bond and faced up to 25 years in prison if the maximum charges were prosecuted. His sentence was not nearly that long but it was nice to know the government was taking it seriously. Along with that Cheap Pittsburgh Penguins Jersey , he was responsible for paying a $500,000 fine to the NBA as well as $30,000 to the government. This event rocked the entire league, and many questioned the integrity of the sport as a whol.
