Peru's Minister of Women's Affairs, Ana Jara, said Thursday 58 schools and about 100 houses replica mulberry bags sustained structural damage from Wednesday's 6.9-magnitude earthquake that hit the southern department of Arequipa. Jara said the schools located in rural areas of Caraveli province suffered different degrees of damage, forcing the education ministry to suspend classes. Due to the damage, the Education Ministry was considering extending the suspension of classes to protect students from structural collapse, possible aftershocks or other quake-related incidents, she said. The minister, who traveled to Caraveli to assess the damage, said several districts also lacked water service since the quake damaged water supply and drainage network. Some 100 houses, mainly rural structures, were damaged or destroyed in Arequipa, located 1,030 km south of the capital Lima, she added. The Peruvian Institute of Geophysics said Wednesday the earthquake mbt shoes for menwas also felt in other regions of southern Peru, including Ayacucho, Cusco, Puno, Ica and Lima. On Wednesday, the National Institute of Civil Defense in Arequipa said the report that three people working in a mine were killed in the quake was not officially confirmed. The number of people injured by the quake remains at 15. Peru's President Ollanta Humala, who is currently in New York attending the United Nations General Assembly, announced he would cut short his trip and fly over the areas affected by the earthquake. U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday defended his signature health care law passed three years ago, as his Republican rivals were endeavoring to defund and delay the implementation of the highly-scrutinized law even at the risk of a government shutdown. "For a long time, America was the only advanced economy in the world where health care was not a right, but a privilege. We spent more, we got less. We left tens of millions of Americans without the security of health insurance," Obama said during a speech in U. S. state of Maryland. In the wealthiest country on Earth, no one casque beats mixr should go broke just because they get sick. Despite all the obstacles, the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, passed both houses of Congress and was signed into law in 2010. The Supreme Court ruled it constitutional last year, Obama stressed. Americans' support for the Tea Party has plunged in the lead-up to yet another budget battle that could spark a government shutdown, according to a Gallup poll released Thursday. Top Republican leaders of U.S. House of Representatives said Thursday that they would tie increasing the government's borrowing capacity with a long list of economic reforms and party priorities, saying the world's largest economy has a debt problem. House Republican lawmakers will tie important spending cuts and pro-growth reforms with a debt limit increase, U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said at a Thursday press conference. "We're not going to cheap beats by dre ignore Washington's spending problem, and we're not going to accept this new normal of a weak economy, no new jobs, and shrinking wages," Boehner told reporters. "We have a debt crisis in this nation. I don't think many people have differed with that notion. And we do have a plan to reduce wasteful government spending, which also spurs economic growth," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor told reporters. House Republican lawmakers are introducing a plan of a debt limit increase tied with a long Republican wish list including approval of the long-stalled Keystone XL oil pipeline, reform of U. S. tax code and a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. The lower chamber is expected to vote on this debt limit increase package in coming days. U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said Wednesday that the Treasury Department will run out of mulberry alexa bag borrowing capacity no later than Oct. 17, urging Congress to raise the debt limit in a timely manner. Washington now faces two looming deadlines: one for funding the government in the new fiscal year beginning Oct. 1; the other for the debt limit, which needs to be raised by Oct. 17. The Republican-led House on Friday passed a stopgap spending bill, which was championed by the conservatives, to fund the government through Dec. 15 at current funding levels while prohibiting funding to implement the Obamacare. "The American people don't want the President's health care bill, and they don't want the government to shut down," said Boehner, adding "it's time for the Senate to listen and pass the replica hermes birkin bill that we sent over there." The House bill is moving to the Democrats-controlled Senate, where Democrats are expected to restore the Obamacare funding before sending it back to the House for passage by Sept. 30, the last day of the current fiscal year. With less than one week remaining before a potential partial government shutdown, Republican and Democratic lawmakers are still locked in a fiscal stalemate. Twenty-two percent of Americans now say they support the Tea Party, whereas 32 percent of Americans supported the party at the height of its popularity in November 2010, days after Republicans captured the majority in the House. The party's opponents now outnumber supporters 27 percent to 22 percent. The poll comes a week before a possible government shutdown, with Tea Party-backed Senator Ted Cruz spearheading the movement to tie funding of the government to the de-funding of President Barack Obama's signature healthcare legislation. Opponents of Obamacare maintain the law is a job-killer that will cause insurance premiums to skyrocket. The law's supporters contend it will make health insurance available to millions of previously uninsured Americans. Tea Party opponents also lead supporters in intensity. The majority of Tea Party opponents call mbt shoes sale themselves strong opponents, while supporters are evenly divided as "strong" and "not strong supporters," Gallup found. The net result is that 17 percent of Americans consider themselves strong opponents of the Tea Party, in contrast with 11 percent who are strong supporters, similar to the balance seen in 2011, the poll found.
