US President Barack Obama is set to visit Hiroshima after a Group of Seven summit next month Boutique Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Rouge Noir Pas Cher , the Nikkei newspaper said, in what would be the first visit by an incumbent U.S. president to the Japanese city devastated by a U.S. nuclear attack 71 years ago.
Citing an unidentified senior U.S. government official, the business daily on Friday said Washington planned to propose to Tokyo a visit by the president on May 27 Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Homme Bleu Soldes Pas Cher , when the summit wraps up.
Officials at Japan's foreign ministry and cabinet office could not immediately be reached for comment.
A presidential visit would be controversial in the United States if it were seen as an apology.
A majority of Americans view the bombing of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, and of the city of Nagasaki three days later Nike Air Max Motion Grise Noir Homme Soldes Pas Cher , as justified to end the war and save U.S lives. The vast majority of Japanese think the bombings were unjustified.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said during a visit to the city this month that Obama wanted to travel there, though he did not know if the president's schedule when he visited Japan for the May 26-27 summit would allow him to.
Hiroshima bombing survivors, and other residents Acheter Nike Air Max Motion Homme Rouge Blanche Pas Cher , have said they hope for progress in ridding the world of nuclear weapons, rather than an apology, if Obama makes the historic visit.
Hopes for Obama's visit to Hiroshima were raised after a speech in April 2009 in Prague when he called for a world without nuclear weapons. He later said he would be honoured to visit the two cities that suffered nuclear attack.
The displays include photographs of badly burned victims, the tattered and stained clothes they wore and statues depicting them with flesh melting from their limbs.
WASHINGTON， March 16 (Xinhua) -- The president and CEO of USA Gymnastics Steve Penny resigned on Thursday following intensified pressure on the organization over its handling of allegations of sexual abuse over the years.
"We all care deeply about the safety of our athletes， which is fundamental to a rewarding experience at any level of gymnastics，" Penny said in a statement. "It has been heartbreaking to learn of instances of abuse and it sickens me that young athletes would be exploited in such a manner."
Last year， the Indianapolis Star published an investigative report which revealed that about 350 gymnasts had alleged abuse in gyms over two decades， and that top USA Gymnastics officials mishandled complaints and allowed accused coaches to move from gym to gym. The fomer national team's physician Larry Nassar was accused of 22 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
"Today's announcement will hopefully allow USA Gymnastics to shift its attention to the future with a secure environment for its athletes and continued success in competition，" USOC board chairman Larry Probst said in a statement.
Penny， 53， was named president of USA Gymnastics in 2005 after joining the organization in 1999. Under his leadership， America has won 100 medals at the Olympics and world championships. The United States has won the last two team titles at the Olympics， as well as the last four all-around titles.
MADRID Boutique Nike Air Max 1 Woven Blanche Homme Pas Cher , March 1 (Xinhua) -- Villarreal produced the shock of the week in Spanish football Sunday when they drew 1-1 away to Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to once again throw the BBVA Primera Liga title race wide open.
Carlo Ancelotti's side were once again well below their best and needed a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty after 52 minutes to open the scoring.

Granada got a lifeline from a Fran Rico penalty, but Leo Messi made the points safe after Rakitic and Suarez again linked up to allow him to tap home his 27th league goal of the season.
Barca's win coupled with Real Madrid's draw means that both sides can win the title if they win their remaining matches and adds extra importance to the "Classico" scheduled for March 22nd.
Atletico Madrid remain in the title race, but were unable to take advantage of Real's slip up as they were held to a 0-0 draw by a tough performance by fifth place Sevilla.
As a result of Sevilla dropping points Valencia's grip on fourth place tightened thanks to a relatively straightforward 2-0 win at home to Real Sociedad thanks to two second half goals from Pablo Piatti Nike Air Max 95 Blanche En ligne Pas Cher , which means their rivals have yet to take all three points on the road this campaign.
