Similarly, a rep for Reese told Us Weekly that the couple was still together.

Earlier on Sunday, People reported that the couple had called it quits, citing a source close to Reese.

The couple, thought to have linked up on the set of 2007’s “Rendition,” have been photographed in recent months out hiking in Los Angeles and enjoying the performances at the Coachella Music Festival earlier this year. The couple moved in together last year, according to several reports.

“He’s fabulous,” Reese said about Jake in the April 2009 issue of ELLE. “He really is a fantastic guy.”

Jake appeared happy and animated to Access Hollywood producers at the press junket for his latest film, “Brothers,” at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York last Saturday, joking with members of the press and showing no signs that any split was imminent.

NEW YORK (AP) — Investors may have to do some emotional juggling as the trading week begins.
While markets around the world continue to assess the fallout from Dubai’s worrisome debt problems, investors trying to get a handle on the global economy will also factor in some encouraging U.S. retail sales over the Thanksgiving weekend. The question for many is whether they should focus on the possibility of another spreading credit crisis, or signs that consumer spending in this country may indeed be stabilizing.

News that Dubai’s investment arm, Dubai World, could default on $60 billion in debt sent world markets skidding on Thanksgiving, and U.S. stock markets initially followed when trading resumed Friday after the holiday. Wall Street regained some ground as overseas exchanges stabilized and as analysts reported that U.S. banks had relatively limited exposure to the problems in the Persian Gulf city-state.

Stock index futures showed more signs of steadying late Sunday. Dow Jones industrial average futures were up 0.3 percent, while Standard & Poor’s 500 futures rose 0.4 percent.

Stock markets were also up as the week’s trading began Monday in Asia.

Investors might have had some reassurance from Sunday’s news that the United Arab Emirates’ central bank will offer additional liquidity to banks, a move designed to keep credit markets from freezing up.

Still, Dubai World’s troubles gave a jolt to investors who had set aside many of their concerns about risk during the stock market’s almost nine-month rally. Suddenly, they had to worry that the crisis in Dubai could be a harbinger of similar problems in other countries. And if traders decide to hunker down rather than take on more risk, they’re likely to keep selling stocks and turn to the relative safety of Treasury bonds and the dollar.

“Markets were getting a bit complacent,” said Jeff Mortimer, chief investment officer at Charles Schwab Investment Management. “This is a wake-up call” that the economic recovery is going to be choppy and uneven, he added.

Right now, some analysts aren’t worried that the stock rally might be in jeopardy — and say traders may decide to focus on growing evidence of a U.S. economic recovery.

“I don’t think it’s big enough to be a game-changer,” Mortimer said of Dubai’s debt problems. “It gets my attention. But does it push the trains off the tracks and is everything lost? Certainly not.”

Retailers’ reports that Thanksgiving weekend sales were respectable may be a pleasant distraction for the stock market. Store owners said shopper traffic was up from a year ago, and held steady through the weekend after a big surge Friday. However, consumers were focusing on the basics, as expected.

Investors have been concerned that rising unemployment would make consumers reluctant to spend on nonessentials. The market will get stores’ official take on the weekend on Thursday, when many of the big companies release their sales results for November.

The first few days of December will also bring key economic reports including the Labor Department’s November employment report, scheduled for Friday. The number of jobs being lost each month has generally been declining, with 190,000 slashed in October, and economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect that number to have fallen to 130,000 in November.

The unemployment rate, meanwhile, is forecast to remain stable at 10.2 percent.

Analysts have been questioning whether the stock market has gotten ahead of the actual economic recovery, especially since some of its recent advance has been due to the dollar’s weakness. Many investors were theorizing that the falling dollar would help guarantee that U.S. interest rates would remain stable, making it easier for companies to borrow. Moreover, when the dollar is down, companies that do business with other countries find it easier to sell their goods and services overseas, and their profits rise when those sales are translated into dollars.

Stocks have been on a fairly steady churn higher since hitting 12-year lows in March. Even with Friday’s sell-off, the Dow is still up more than 57 percent from the March bottom.

The Dow lost 1.5 percent on Friday, but was down less than 0.1 percent for the holiday-shortened week. U.S. markets were closed Thursday for Thanksgiving and closed three hours early on Friday.

The S&P 500 index tumbled 1.7 percent Friday, and was essentially flat for the week after a big rally Monday was offset by Friday’s declines.

KINSHASA, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) — The Republic of Congo’s Red Cross office has mobilized assistance of 200,000 U. S. dollars for refugees fleeing the tribal clash in the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), local media reported on Friday.

Thousands of people have been displaced by the Oct. 30 conflict over fishing rights in Dongo in the DRC’s northwestern province of Equateur. A large number of refugees are taking shelter in the Republic of Congo.

Composed of blankets, mats, basins, saucepans and jerrycans, the assistance is destined for 2,000 people who are the most vulnerable among the 37,000 refugees officially registered in the Republic of Congo, a local radio station said, citing sources close to the Red Cross office.

Two weeks ago, the United Nations and the Republic of Congo distributed 15 tons of relief including foodstuffs, medical equipment, clothing, blankets, basins and mosquito nets. Last week, the DRC government also brought aid to the refugees.

On Tuesday, Lambert Mende, the minister of communication and media of the DRC, invited all refugees to return to Dongo, pledging safety and security guaranteed by the government.

Lawyers: government misconduct in Blackwater case
Defense lawyers in Blackwater case on Baghdad shootings allege misconduct by prosecutors

Buzz up! 15 Print.WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense lawyers are alleging misconduct by Justice Department prosecutors in the case against one of five Blackwater security guards accused in the killings of 17 Iraqis in Baghdad.

Recent pretrial proceedings that took place behind closed doors led the Justice Department to seek dismissal of charges against Nicholas Slatten of Sparta, Tenn., one of the five guards accused in the shootings in busy Nisoor Square in September 2007.

In a one-paragraph filing a week ago, the department disclosed that it wants to preserve the possibility of filing a new set of charges against Slatten.

On Wednesday, Slatten’s lawyers said in court papers they want to stop the Justice Department from doing so and that the issue should be aired in a public court hearing.

The recent secret hearings focused on whether statements some of the guards gave to the State Department after the killings in Baghdad under a grant of immunity tainted the government’s subsequent criminal case. U.S. District Judge Ricardo Urbina has yet to rule.

In its court filing Wednesday, Slatten’s defense team called the U.S. government’s handling of the charges against Slatten “a disturbing case of prosecutorial misconduct, undermining the integrity of the judicial process.”

The case against Slatten became untenable, not merely because of a fundamental lack of evidence against him, but also because the trial team repeatedly mischaracterized the testimony of witnesses and excluded evidence that ran in Slatten’s favor from the grand jury that indicted him, Slatten’s lawyers wrote in asking for a public hearing before the judge.

“The collapse of the government’s case against Mr. Slatten should be as public as the baseless allegations against him,” Slatten’s lawyers added. “He should not be required to endure the government’s repeated public mischaracterization of the evidence while non-public proceedings tell a very different story.”

In a court filing late Wednesday, the Justice Department declined to comment on the substance of the defense allegations. The department said only that the allegations involve what transpired at the recent closed court hearings. The prosecutors said Slatten’s lawyers had acted inappropriately by putting their court papers on the public record and the Justice Department asked Urbina to disregard Slatten’s motion for a hearing.

Slatten was an Army sniper who served two tours in Iraq before joining Blackwater. Since the shooting, Blackwater, headquartered in Moyock, N.C., has renamed itself Xe Corp. and has undergone management changes.

The case against the guards is set for trial in February. Prosecutors were aggressive in their charges, using an anti-machine gun law to attach 30-year mandatory prison sentences to the case. And though authorities can’t say for sure exactly which guards shot which victims, all five guards are charged with 14 counts of manslaughter.
