The Bench - Roland Philippe Kretzschmar
Roland has been a loyal Nitty Gritty customer since the very beginning back in 1991. But this day, when we caught him on The Bench, his main purpose of visiting Krukmakargatan wasn´t to shop for new clothes, but to collect the latest issue of the Japanese Outdoor Fashion Magazine "Go Out", sold by our shop neighbour Papercut. Thanks for stopping by Roland!
The Bench - Lydia Winters

… says Ichiro Nakatsu from Osaka. As a young boy he used to go to the America-Mura (American Village) area of his home town and visit the vintage store located there. At the time they offered a great selection of American casualwear such as numerous variations of five pocket denims, button down shirts, Hawaiian shirts, military pants and jackets. He did this with the purpose of finding something as beautiful, comfortable and well aging as his childhood overalls made of Cone Mill denim cloth.

Nitty Gritty Store Hours #3 – Slow Blow
This Saturday on March 7th, it's time for another edition of Nitty Gritty Store Hours, when two DJ's team up to play a 4-hour all vinyl set in the men's store.
Comme as you are
Colourless yet not collar less. Rei Kawakubo's second line of her Commes Des Garcons universe named Comme des Garcons Comme des Garcons has created a spring collection that explores the symmetric, the patterns and collars more than colours.
"For years, I was the best-kept secret in Milan…"
The quote comes from Serbian born, Milan based designer Dusan Paunovic. With his self titled brand ongoing since 1999, he has kept true to his values of being very personal with his customers and clients. He keeps a small distribution in order to have control over it and to develop long term relationships with the stores he supplies. From this spring, that now includes Nitty Gritty.
Things that make a difference
Maybe you are aware of the heritage of Nitty Gritty, or maybe you are not? The whole thing started back in the early 90's with three guys who actually where more into northern soul music than fashion. But they still felt an urge to create a platform in Stockholm for different kinds of sub cultural phenomena's whether it was driven out of music, fashion, sports or whatever that they felt interesting for the moment. This is probably why we have taken quite a few different directions throughout the years, but still maintained our backbone of inspiration and development in the sub cultural sphere. We have always admired people that come from different backgrounds and makes their own things and are dedicated to their beliefs and that "goes all in".

Picture: Michelle Williams Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women Of The Year Awards 2010 - Arrivals London, England - 02.11.10
Singer Michelle Williams is facing a string of early starts after signing up to host a breakfast show for a London radio station.
The former Destiny's Child star will turn DJ and take to the mic of urban station Choice FM in the British capital from Wednesday (01Dec10).
In a post on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "Looking forward to my new radio gig! Co-hosting on London's Choice FM radio in the mornings from 6AM-10AM with Martin Jay starting Wed!"
Williams isn't the only R&B superstar to hit the airwaves as a radio host - Akon landed a job with Britain's Capital Radio earlier this year (10), but quit after just one show.

"Wii U has Poor Holiday Season" - report
I did what you said...this was the third link that popped up.
dang...nothing can stop the Wii U! More successful than 360 and PS3 CONFIRMED!

Not good news.

Lemmy, WII U STARTED strong. Though in weeks after, dropping like a lead balloon.
wow I haven't add you to my ignore list ether :|
time to correct the error...
also, from your link:
Wii U sales = 122,000 units
PlayStation 3 sold only 30,000 units
Xbox 360 barely cleared a thousand units
AND the wii u is the one doing badly http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0y4ihrXVf1r284jg.jpg

Bottom line, Wii U off to disappointing start.

The only system to sell more than the Wii U in Japan the week of Dec 22 was the 3DS. Yeah, it's doing fine.

It doesn't matter...I didn't read it either. As soon as I saw Yahoo I knew it was garbage. All these articles that are posted are garbage. Mine included, I was just showing him that their are both positive and negative articles out there. Bottom line is it's too soon to tell until more numbers come out. Even then it's still too soon. Look how the 3DS is exploding after the slow start.

HOUSTON--A wild high speed chase through a quiet northwest Houston neighborhood came to a crashing halt when a burglary suspect lost control of his car and slammed into a house.
A man living inside the home was pinned to a wall for a few agonizing minutes before police used a tow truck to pull away the car and free him.
Police say the incident began around 1:00 p.m. Tuesday when citizens flagged down officers and pointed out a suspected car burglar on Longpoint Road, just a short distance away from the accident scene. The suspected thief then led police on a brief but fast chase before he lost control on a curving section of Antoine Drive.
The car crashed through two chain link fences before slamming into the house. Neighbors heard the crash and saw dust and debris flying through the air.
The car went through on the other side of the tree and hit the house and took out the whole front side of the wall into what looks like their living room, said Daniel Barrera, an attorney who saw the accident from his office across the street. We were standing right out here and we went over to see what was going on.
Witnesses say the first police car in the chase passed the house, then turned around and pulled up to the accident scene.
He just came upon a cloud of dust and people pointing toward the house, letting him know that s where the suspect s car ended up, said Houston Police Sgt. G.T. Hall.
I went over there to check on the little girl because my kids go over there and play with her to make sure she was okay, said Lacie Spencer, who lives across the street. She was fine. Her dad was pinned under the car.
Police arrested the suspected burglar, then repeatedly called for firefighters to help them free Artemio Pariano, the innocent bystander trapped by the car. They also called for wrecker drivers to come to the scene. A tow truck driver pulled the car from the wall, freeing the man who police say sustained serious injuries to his lower torso.
A relative who ran into the house after the accident said Pariona was conscious and in extreme pain.
A young woman who lived at the house identified as Yvonne Pariona, 15, was injured by falling debris, police say. Their conditions were not immediately known.
I was scared, Spencer said, as her voice quaked, because I live right here and it could ve been my house.

Four Kingfisher flights from Mumbai were cancelled on Monday due to a strike by a section of airline pilots.
The flights have been cancelled since morning due to non-availability of pilots, airport sources said.
The flights include Mumbai-Chennai, Mumbai-Mangalore and Mumbai-Khajuraho.
Around 200 pilots including captains are on strike since Sunday protesting the non-payment of salaries, which they have not received for the past five months.
The strike has forced the airline to cancel its ATR operations.
Kingfisher currently has only 15 aircraft flying, including 8 ATRs, while 15 of its aircraft are grounded due to non-availability of spares on account of fund crunch.
The lessor have already taken back 34 aircraft after the company allegedly defaulted on the rentals amounting to around Rs. 1,000 crores.
Kingfisher spokesperson was not available for comment.
"More than 200 pilots, including captains, are on a strike as the airline has once again failed to pay salaries to the staff. The employees had a meeting with airline chairman Vijay Mallya on the issue, but after he failed to commit anything on the salary payment, the pilots decided to stop work," airline sources said in Mumbai on Sunday night.
A meeting of all employees, including pilots, engineers and cabin crew, has been convened in Mumbai on Monday to chalk out further course of action, they said.
Earlier also some of its pilots and engineers had gone on a strike, but returned to work after the management assured them of remitting the salaries.

Akif Eskalen was on the hunt for more than two years.
His target? An exotic beetle that made its way to Southern California, where it infected 20 types of trees with a harmful fungus.
A few months ago, Eskalen – a plant pathologist at UC Riverside – and his research team sampled coast live oaks he believed had been hit by the ambrosia beetle. But these trees had unique wounds. Reddish sap and cream-colored foam oozed from holes scarring trunks and branches.
"We had been seeing these symptoms on coast live oaks for the last six or seven months, but we didn't know what was causing it," Eskalen recalled.
When lab tests were complete, Eskalen discovered he'd stumbled on a new threat from a familiar pest.
Native western oak bark beetles have long burrowed into coast live oaks, wreaking havoc as they lay eggs beneath the bark. But now, the 2 millimeter-long insects are bringing with them a fungus that's never before been recorded in California.
When the fungus takes root, it causes cankers that block water and nutrients from circulating inside the oaks. As the infestation spreads, branches of the evergreen tree turn brown. Eventually, the entire tree dies.
A few weeks ago, Eskalen's lab issued an alert for what's been deemed foamy bark canker disease.
While it's too early to know how many trees are affected, the alert says evidence of infected coast live oaks has been found in Orange, Riverside, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Monterey counties.
If the disease kills off large numbers of coast live oaks, experts say this tiny brown beetle could also be responsible for killing off wildlife that depends on the oaks' habitat.
It also will magnify wildfire danger in areas already plagued by drought.
Chances are, anyone who's visited the Santa Monica Mountains, hiked near Laguna Beach or driven along Ortega Highway has appreciated the beauty of a coast live oak.
The trees grow in California's coastal mountains and valleys, reaching up to 80 feet tall and living as long as 500 years.
Their stately appearance – with dense crowns of evergreen foliage that can reach to the ground – also makes them popular transplants for landscaping in housing developments from Coto de Caza to Calabasas.

08.01.09 - By Conor Ward - As Joe Calzaghe contemplates whether to step away from the ring for good or take on one last challenge, the time would seem right to appraise his level of achievement during a fifteen- year pro career, and his overall legacy. In-keeping with the habits of most big name fighters who are nearing the end of their time, Calzaghe has been more than happy to publicly muse over his own boxing epitaph in recent times. And the bottom line, as he appears to see it, is that he is about to sail off into the sunset with his status as a modern day boxing legend etched in stone, his name destined to be remembered for as long as people continue to converse on matters of the sweet science.
That may yet materialise down the annals of time, people may marvel at the old crackling tapes which reveal to a fresh audience the Welshmans flashing fists and his nights of triumph.. A weary old soul in the corner of the room might pause to inform the fledgling minds of his enthralled grandchildren, telling them Joe was a great fighter. You know he never lost a single fight, he was world champion for more than ten years. If Calzaghe walks away now, that will be an undeniable fact which neither history nor any amount of barroom debate can ever erase.
But unlike the starry-eyed kids huddled around a TV screen, those of us who have followed Joes career in real-time have the luxury of judging his credentials for ourselves, before misty semtimentality creates an obscured, skewed or enhanced version of Joe Calzaghe the fighter. Even before his actual retirement, the issue of Calzaghes greatness or otherwise has already provoked a sizeable amount of debate amongst boxing fans.
Here, I will attempt to break down the argument into two opposing strands - Calzaghe The Legend and Calzaghe The Myth, and then (if its possible) take a stab at coming to a reasonable objective conclusion.
Calzaghe The Legend:
Joe has been a world champion since he defeated British great Chris Eubank in October 1997 to capture the WBO super-middleweight title, at the age of 25. His undefeated (46-0, 32KOs) record is an extremely rare and coveted achievement in world class boxing, something which has even eluded the vast majority of all-time greats. He has been recognised as the legitimate world champion in both the super-middleweight and light-heavyweight divisions. In addition, The Ring currently rate Calzaghe at number 3 in their pound-for-pound rankings, impressive stuff for a 36-year-old. On top of all these facts, there is no denying that Calzaghes skill, speed, heart and technical excellence mark him out as a top class operator.
Calzaghe The Myth:
There are not many great fighters amongst Calzaghes 46 victims. One of the few, Chris Eubank, gave Calzaghe the hardest fight of his life in 1997 (by Joes own admission) even though Eubank was a few years past his prime by then. Calzaghe, along with his promoter Frank Warren, was content to defend his WBO super-middleweight strap against average opposition for the next nine years. His next major scalp came in March 2006 via a unanimous points victory against an overhyped Jeff Lacy. To his credit though, Joe did unify the super-middleweight division with an impressive victory over Denmarks Mikkel Kessler in November 2007, perhaps the most significant win of his career.
But maybe the biggest sources of debate are Calzaghes wins over American legends Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. in 2008. Personally, I will never be convinced that Joe was the rightful winner of the Hopkins fight. The wily old Philadelphian - though he engaged in a few tricks over the course of the fight - landed more shots in the majority of the rounds, and it was abundantly clear that Hopkins had more venom in his gloves. That was Hopkins at 43, so one wonders what would have happened against a prime Hopkins around his mid-30s.
Having scraped a dodgy split decision in that one, Calzaghe proceeded to another Megamatch stateside with Jones Jr, a fighter so far past his best as to be scarcely recognizable from the one which blew away all before him during his glory days of the 90s. Even so, Jones (just like Hopkins before him) put Calzaghe on his backside inside the opening three minutes. Although the more energetic and quicker Calzaghe subsequently cruised to an easy points victory, he never repaid that particular compliment.
I guess Ive already made clear my view that Calzaghe put the names of Hopkins and Jones Jr on his record more than a touch cheaply, at a stage when they (Jones in particular) were long past their respective primes. And lest we forget, boxing is an entertainment business. Calzaghe was involved in very few really competitive or gripping contests. To be fair to him, he was perhaps a victim of a lack of worthwhile competition for much of his career, something for which he cannot be blamed. And he probably never sought to duck the challenges Hopkins or Jones in their primes. Those matches simply did not happen years ago due to factors outside of his control.
For me, Joe does currently belong in and around the top five or ten pound-for-pound fighters in the world. Top three seems a bit flattering when you look at those beneath him on the list (Margarito, Williams, Cotto, Hatton et al). And Calzaghe has been mentioned amongst British observers as possibly their greatest fighter since World War II. Again, its not by his own design that he did not get the chance, but if he had been around to take on Eubank, Nigel Benn and Michael Watson during their halcyon days of the early 90s, he would almost certainly have taken a loss against one of them. He is comfortably in their class, but not necessarily above them. And thats before you even bring the name of the great Scottish lightweight Ken Buchanan into the argument - or that of Ricky Hatton for that matter. I would be slow to accept at face value such lofty praise of Calzaghes achievements.
Joe can still take on new challenges in 2009 and enhance his reputation, giving greater credence to the beliefs of his loyal supporters, who hold few doubts about his greatness. However, the signs now are that he will not do so.
So for me, he remains that paradoxical mix of Myth and Legend, a highly accomplished and successful fighter, though not quite the great that some would have us believe, or that his untarnished record suggests. Im sure many will disagree about the Myth part, but arent these differences of opinion the very thing that keep us stimulated as we endure months of waiting for matters to be settled inside the ring, with fists rather than words.

Silva will beat Liddel if that happens. I think these two should fight Filho and Silva but i understand the whole friend thing…i hope Silva doesnt retire but if he does best of luck to him and i guess Filho will carry on.
WEC middleweight champion Paulo Filho and friend Anderson Silva have a plan to conquer the UFC middleweight division with out ever fighting each other, according to a recent interview with Tatame. The two Brazilian fighters have been adamant about never facing each other in the cage.
"I think UFC is the dream of every fighter. I fought in Pride and now I wanna be at UFC so that I could say one day that I fought at the best MMA events of the world."
"I think Anderson is doing the right thing. He always praises me, wants the best for me, and said we wouldn't fight me, he's the best, and I don't wanna fight him too. I think he'll go up (to light-heavyweight) and until then I'll go there and when I get closer to the title, he'd be already retired. He already done a lot for the sport, and we they have a lot of great athletes there and I can't let this opportunity go away, it'll be a better motivation, show the Paulão from the Pride GP. The problem in this depression moment was motivation, it was a very complicated moment, but now things are better and I can show my best game."
Filho comment on the possiblitly of Anderson Silva vs. Chuck Liddell –
Liddell is a slow fighter. He moves well, but he's slow, and I believe Anderson will dance in front of him, connect some punches… Anderson would win that for sure.
Paulo Filho is set to take on Chael Sonnen at WEC 36 on November 5 from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL.
Silva will beat Liddel if that happens. I think these two should fight Filho and Silva but i understand the whole friend thing…i hope Silva doesnt retire but if he does best of luck to him and i guess Filho will carry on.
yeah, Silva would definately take it. I like to watch Chuck, but his style would completely clash with Silva in a bad way. Not to mention, I think Silva's chin could take a pretty good beating from Chuck.
anderson will beat chuck..HA is you look who has knock chuck out its just black ppl ha…
Also Paul is gay and should never be in the ufc and he will lose the WEC belt and will never get theUFC belt
Silva will beat Liddell.
no surprize you all pick anderson to beat Liddell. I give it to yah chuck has lost 3 out of his last 4. One of you said that you think Andersons chin could take a good beating from Chuck LOL good one dude, no bodys chin takes a good beating from chuck if the man lands a good right hand the only thing that person remembers is waking up. But it would be a great fight sombody would hit the Mat quick i give that fight to the first fighter to land the big punch.

Lawmakers to address hotel sheets: Flat or fitted?
Union-backed bill intended to cut down on worker injuries
Hotel workers and injuries
• Injury rates for hotel workers surpass those of most other service workers.
• In 2004, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a rate of 5.8 injuries per 100 hotel workers, compared to 4.2 for all service sector employees.
• Housekeepers have the highest injury rate of all — 7.9 injuries per 100 workers.
• With an injury rate of 10.6, Hispanic housekeepers have the highest injury rate of all racial and ethnic groups.
Source: 2009 study published in American Journal of Industrial Medicine (2009), which analyzed injury records from 2003-2005 at 50 hotels
What hotel operators say
Many chains and independents already provide ergonomic training and tools for workers.
Majority of lodging establishments have instituted green practicies that allow guests to opt out of changing and cleaning linens, thereby reducing the workload.
Very few hotels use fitted sheets because of the difficulty folding, ironing and storing them.
A changeover for the state's 550,500 hotel rooms would cost $20 million.
Some experienced housekeeping staff have said using fitted sheets can be more strenuous to use.
Source: California Hotel & Lodging Association
Chances are, the last time you flopped down on one of those lush hotel beds, replete with a pillow-top mattress, high thread-count sheets, down comforter and mounds of fluffy pillows, you weren't wondering, flat — or fitted.
Yet, that's at the core of a debate that will consume state legislators beginning next Monday when a committee will ponder a labor union-backed bill mandating the use of fitted bottom sheets in all hotel rooms.
The way union leaders see it, such sheets – common in households across America but far less so in hotels – will help ease the backbreaking work that defines a housekeeper's job. Hoteliers, who say the mandate could cost the industry $20 million statewide, call it a ridiculous, unnecessary piece of legislation that is sidetracking politicians from far more pressing work like balancing the state budget.
Besides tackling the issue of fitted sheets, the bill also calls for the use of long-handled mops so that housekeepers do not have to get down on their hands and knees to clean bathroom floors.
San Diego hotel operators insist that if using fitted bottom sheets cut down on worker injuries, they'd be the first to embrace them. Trouble is, the expensive equipment the lodging industry uses to press and fold linens is not designed to accommodate unwieldy, elasticized sheets that are difficult to fold and iron.
The machines, which at a minimum cost $60,000, can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, say hotel operators. Also a problem, they say, is the bulky nature of the sheets which, when folded, take up more storage space than flat sheets.
"It's asinine that people would try to legislate something like that," said Bill Evans, a vice president with Evans Hotels, which owns the Lodge at Torrey Pines and the Bahia and Catamaran resort hotels. While his hotel does use long-handled mops, as do some other San Diego hotels, there are some that do not. "Worker safety is a major line item in any hotel budget. If there's something that's truly a saver of accidents, this would have been mandated by the industry before the Legislature dreamed it up."

This is an apolitical forum for discussions on the Axis nations and related topics hosted by Marcus Wendel's Axis History Factbook in cooperation with Christian Ankerstjerne's Panzerworld and Christoph Awender's WW2 day by day.
Founded in 1999.
Peter H wrote:I think we are talking about an eventual 50,000 man Japanese force against 300,000 Chinese/Manchurians.
At 9 o'clock in the evening of 18 September 1931, Officer Liu, at the barracks of the 7th Chinese Brigade, reported that a train composed of three or four caches, but without the usual type of locomotive, had stopped on the South Manchurian Railway opposite the barracks. At 10 p.m., the sound of a loud explosion was heard, immediately followed by rifle fire. The Japanese account is that Lt. Kawamoto, of the Kwantung Army, with six men under his command, was on patrol duty, practising defence exercises along the track near the place where the explosion occurred, that he heard the explosion; that his patrol turned and ran back about 200 yards and found that a portion of one of the rails had been blown out; that while on the site of the explosion, the patrol was fired upon from the fields on the east side of the tracks; that at that moment, the regular southbound train, due in Mukden at 10:30 p.m., was heard approaching; and that the train passed over the damaged rail without mishap to arrive in Mukden on time. Captain Kawashima and his company arrived at 10:50 p.m. and the Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Shimamoto commanding the Second Battalion of the Independent Infantry Garrison ordered two more companies to proceed to the spot. They arrived about midnight. Another company at Fushun, which was an hour-and-a-half away, was ordered to proceed to the spot also. This is the Company of Kawakami, who had long ago announced that he and his Company would have to leave Fushun on the night of the 18th. The barracks of the 7th Chinese Brigade were glittering with electric lights, but the Japanese attacked the barracks without hesitation at 11:30 p.m., employing artillery as well as rifles and machine-guns. Most of the Chinese soldiers escaped from the barracks and retreated to Erhtaitze, to the northeast; however, the Japanese claim they buried 320 Chinese soldiers and captured 20 wounded. The loss to the Japanese was two privates killed and 22 wounded. Colonel Hirata commanding the 29th Regiment received a telephone message at 10:40 p.m. from Lt. Colonel Shimamoto informing him of the explosion on the railroad and the plan to attack the barracks.
Colonel Hirata immediately decided to attack the walled city of Mukden. His attack commenced at 11:30 p.m. No resistance was offered, the only fighting that occurred was with the police, of whom approximately 75 were killed. The 2nd Division and part of the 16th Regiment left Liaoyang at 3:30 a.m. of the 19th and arrived at Mukden at 5 a.m. The arsenal and aerodrome were captured at 7:30 a.m. Colonel ITAGAKI later admitted that heavy guns, which had been secretly installed in the Japanese Infantry Compound on the 10th, had proven useful in the bombardment of the airfield after the fighting got under way.

This invention relates to articles of footwear, and, more particularly, to articles of footwear including one or more sleeves, mounted in the toe area, each having the appearance of a shoelace and being formed with a hollow interior within which one or more light sources are mounted that are visible through the sleeves when illuminated.
For a number of years, articles of footwear and various items of clothing have been sold with decorative arrays of light sources such as light emitting diodes (LEDs). This has been particularly popular in children's shoes where the LEDs are arranged to complement other design elements of the shoe such as cartoon characters and the like.
In a typical design of an article of footwear of the type noted above, a light module is provided including a plastic housing which is usually mounted within a cavity formed in the heel area of the shoe. The plastic housing contains a battery, a switch and an integrated circuit or other controller which is connected by wires to LEDs located externally of the housing and positioned at desired locations on the outsole, upper or tongue of the shoe. The controller is effective to turn on and off the LEDs, often in a flashing pattern or sequence, to enhance the visual effect and draw attention to the shoe. In many designs, the controller is enabled by the switch that may be operated manually or turned on and off in response to the application of an inertial force, pressure or motion to the shoe. Systems of this type are shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,525,487; 6,286,975; 6,012,822; 5,969,479; 5,894,201 and 5,812,063.
This invention is directed to an article of footwear having a decorative lighting arrangement wherein one or more LEDs are mounted within the interior of a sleeve having the appearance of a shoelace. The LEDs, when illuminated, shine light through the sleeve to provide a unique visual effect.
The article of footwear of this invention comprises an outsole connected to an upper having a toe portion, a heel portion, an interior and an opening into the interior that extends between the toe and heel portions. The upper is formed with first and second sides separated by a tongue. One or more hollow sleeves, preferably each comprising a section of fabric material that resembles a shoelace, span the opening between the first and second sides of the upper in the toe portion of the shoe. Opposite ends of the sleeves are fixed to one of the first and second sides of the upper to retain them in place. At least one LED is mounted within the interior of each sleeve which is electrically connected to a light module housed in a cavity in the outsole. The light module is effective to illuminate the LEDs causing them to shine light that is visible through the hollow sleeves. Shoelaces or straps, located between the hollow sleeve(s) and the heel portion and heel portion of the shoe, may be employed to secure the upper of the shoe to the foot of a wearer.
The structure, operation and advantages of the presently preferred embodiment of this invention will become further apparent upon consideration of the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Referring now to the drawings, a shoe 10 is depicted having an outsole 12 connected to an upper 14. The upper 14 has a toe portion 16, a heel portion 18, an opening 20 for insertion of the foot into the interior of the shoe 10 and a tongue 24 that divides the upper 14 into a first side portion 26 and a second side portion 28. It should be understood that a shoe 10 is shown to illustrate the structure and operation of the subject invention, and the term "shoe" is intended to be broadly construed to include any article of footwear normally worn on the feet such as boots, sandals etc. Additionally, although a tongue 24 is shown in the Figs., the shoe 10 may be constructed without a tongue 24.
In the embodiment of
A sleeve 36 extends between the first and second side portions 26, 28, across the tongue 24, such that one end of the sleeve 36 is inserted through an opening 30 in the first side portion 26 and its opposite end is inserted through an opening in the second side portion 28 opposite such opening 30. The ends of the sleeve 36 are mounted in a fixed position to the first and second side portions 26, 28, respectively, by adhesive, stitching or other suitable means. As best seen in
In the embodiment of
In the embodiment of this invention shown in
As best seen in Figs, 1 and 4, a light module 54 is mounted within a cavity (not shown) that is formed in the heel area of the outsole 12 over which a sock liner or insole of the shoe 10 is secured. The light module 54 includes a housing 56 that encases an electrical circuit 58 comprising a battery 60, a motion or inertia switch, such as a spring switch 62, and, preferably, a controller 64. At least one wire 66 connects the electrical circuit 58 with the LEDs 40 located in one of the sleeves 36, and at least one second wire 68 connects the electrical circuit 58 with the other sleeve 36. In response to the application of a force or motion to the shoe 10, the spring switch 62 couples the battery 60 to the controller 64. The controller 64, in turn, is effective to illuminate the LEDs 40 within each of the sleeves 36, preferably in a flashing sequence. The LEDs 40 are sufficiently bright to shine light through the material forming the sleeves 36 so as to be readily visible to one looking at the shoe 10. This produces a decorative effect which is aesthetically pleasing, especially for smaller children wearing the shoe 10.
While the invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof.
For example, in the illustrated embodiments, a sleeve 36 is mounted in each of two sets of openings 30 in the first and second side portions 26, 28 of the upper 14. A single sleeve 36 may be employed, or more than two sleeves 36, provided there is sufficient space along the first and second side portions 26, 28 to locate a shoelace 42 or straps 44, 46 so that the shoe 10 may be secured to the foot of a wearer of the shoe 10. Additionally, more openings 30 could be provided for the shoelace 42 than are shown in the Figs., as desired.
Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.

The BEST Workers' Union on Friday assured the Bombay High Court its members would not resort to strike to protest the implementation of the new Canadian system of duty schedules at the Malad depot.
Uday Amonkar, president of the union made the promise before justice Nitin Jamdar, who was hearing a petition filed by the union challenging the BEST management's decision to implement the new scheduling system.
Justice Jamdar has asked them to try out the new system on experimental basis before raising apprehensions.
Neeta Karnik, advocate for the union, argued that under the garb of a pilot project, the management has changed schedule of drivers and conductors at Goregaon and Malwani depots also. "This is against the understanding arrived at last month between the workers and the management," argued Karnik.
Counsel for BEST, Kevic Setalvad, opposed the argument, saying that the new system cannot be implemented at one depot on a standalone basis and adjustments would have to be made on schedules of nearby depots.
Accepting the argument, justice Jamdar rapped the union saying that they were based on concerns and apprehensions without trying out the new system of duty schedule. Plus, the new system is on an experimental basis, said justice Jamdar.
"The union members have to try out the new schedule and participate in the experiment. You (workers) are apprehending problems even before giving the experiment a try. Ultimately they (BEST) are the employers. If they are trying something new the employees have to cooperate. You (workers) cannot make high demands and make it an issue of ego," observed justice Jamdar.
The HC has kept the petition for hearing on April 16.
The BEST staffers had gone on a mass leave on April 1 and 2 in protest. They resumed work after the management told them that the new system would be first used on a trial basis and then implemented only after considering the shortfalls.

10.05.04 - By Elliot Worsell: Stellar cruiserweight talent David D. Haye 9-0 (9 KOs) takes one small step for cruiserweight domination and one giant leap for young prospects throughout the land on Wednesday night in Reading, as he takes a significant jump up in class to lock horns with tried and tested US veteran King Arthur Williams 38-10-1 (27 KOs) over eight rounds.
23 year old Haye, a nine fight novice, but possessing an extensive and highly lavished amateur career, has decided to cast aside the L plates, and is now approaching the most defining night of his professional career thus far. Haye, always explosive, forever exciting, but liable to go through the motions when no threat is felt, cannot feel any better in the lead up to Wednesdays contest and is fully aware that in the form of Arthur Williams, hell more than have his work cut out.
I feel great, and am happy that Ive got a good opponent. Haye remarked. Knowing in the back of my mind that Im up against a decent opponent makes me feel good and more up for the fight. Im looking to put on a better performance than I have done in any of my other fights and mentally I feel stronger knowing that Im up against a tough opponent. If Im against a poor opponent I just have no emotions in the lead up to the fight and on the night of the fight. There are a lot of people out there who think I may come unstuck against Williams, and that makes me feel better, and gives me something to work with. I didnt start boxing to fight the likes of Tony Booth and Hastings Rasani with all respect I started boxing to be involved in these tough, hard fights, where fans are not sure who will win. I love proving people wrong.
In King Arthur Williams, Haye finally receives the one thing hes preached for from the beginning of his glittering pro career. A stiff test. Every prospect goes through it; every prospect will tell you they relish it. Usually though, most wait until they have at least docked up double figures on the fights won column. Not Haye though. With merely nine fights under his belt, Haye, forever brimming with confidence and charisma, has urged newly appointed promoters Fight Academy to provide him with a challenge, and when the first bell tolls on Wednesday evening, hell have been granted his wish.
Williams, at 39 years of age, obviously has seen better days, but still has enough ring smarts and wily shakes about him to provide any of the leading cruiserweights with a stern nights work. Indeed, having mixed ring duties with the likes of Orlin Norris, Chris Byrd and Adolpho Washington in the mid nineties the latter two enjoying accomplished stints at heavyweight Williams knows all about soaking up the power punching exploits of bigger men. Throw into the mixer, quality wins against the likes of Imamu Mayfield (TKO 9), Dwight Qawi (pts 10) and brave defeats to the cruiserweight new wave Vassily Jirov (TKO 7), ONeil Bell (TKO 11 while ahead on the cards) and newly crowned IBF kingpin Kelvin Davis (SD 12), and you have one well tested, hugely rounded cruiserweight practitioner, and a former world title holder to boot. Something the go-getting Haye hopes to parallel in his flourishing career.
King Arthurs last ring showing was a ten round points reversal to unbeaten eastern European prospect Vadim Tokarev, in Tokarevs first real, genuine test as a professional. Tokarev was 16-0-1 going in. Though the Tokarev defeat may signify some kind of demise in Williams ring attributes, the fact that hes busy, active and on the look out for fights on a regular basis, also tells us something about the guys ambition. This natural, hard hitting cruiserweight, despite tasting world title glory in the past, still has enough drive and ambition, to push any leading light all the way. David Haye, like young US prospect Rydell Booker, is fully aware of this fact.
Ive seen him up against Rydell Booker not so long ago, and the commentators on that one had Booker winning by only one round. Haye commented. That was a ten rounder and Williams pushed Booker every inch of the way. Williams showed his strength and durability in that fight, and was confusing Booker a lot with his gangly, long armed style. He started off quite slow, but then picked up, and put real pressure on Booker late on, and hopefully Ill get the same sort of treatment on Wednesday. Im expecting this fight to go the distance. Going eight quality rounds will mean a whole lot more than just chinning some guy in a round, and this guy Williams has extended some pretty mean punchers in his career. People in boxing know who Williams is, and some of them are even tipping him to do a number on me, which is great from my point of view. I dont want to be in any fights where people are going in expecting me to chin my opponent in one or two rounds, if that can be prevented, it will.
So far in Hayes fledgling career, hes mixed with the brave, the competent, the dangerous, and the sheepish. Assign the fighters on his nine-fight resume, accordingly. By his own admission hes yet to face a real test as professional, and has freely confessed to the fact that his first 12 months without vest and headgear have been all about learning and adjusting to the pro game. Now everythings been put into motion, and with Haye doing more shouting than Freddie Mercury and throwing about more boasts than a satisfied Viagra customer, the big fights will soon be landing at his itchy feet. Williams, as Haye candidly explains is a far sterner test than the threats represented by the domestic rivals Haye has called out from every available microphone.
I think Williams is better than every cruiserweight in Britain at the moment. Haye acknowledges. I think hed beat Hobson, Thompson and a lot of the others. Im not going to wait around for any of the British based fighters to give me an opportunity and Ive always said I wont just be the best cruiserweight in Britain, but Ill be the best in the world. Im going out of my way to prove that. After the Rasani win, I stated that I was looking at well-ranked, world-class opponents, and for some reason the commentator thought I was meaning 10 to 12 months down the line. I was meaning immediately, and am being totally honest when I say that Id fight Carl Thompson or any other top cruiserweight, tomorrow if I had the chance.
I was watching Miguel Cotto only last night, and hes doing things the way Im looking at doing them. Hes tackling top rated opponents, and not hanging around. I like the way De La Hoya, Holyfield, Vargas, and other guys moved along early in their careers. If youre good enough, and people believe in you, then you dont need to go 30 and 0 before you take a test.
Despite focussing momentarily on imported opposition, Haye, acknowledges that there are still plenty of fish to fry on these shores, and is more than happy to provide the batter.
Ive said from day one that I believe I have the beating of most cruiserweights in Britain. Carl Thompson, because of his high world rating, and the fact that he holds some form of title, is my obvious first choice, and by beating well-ranked guys like Arthur Williams Im working my way towards that. Its all been agreed that in the near future I will meet Carl for his IBO title, and so long as I keep on winning and work my way into the IBO top 30, that shouldnt be a problem. I know that I have the beating of Carl, and cant wait to get it on.
On most road maps youll find the path stretching from honest Hastings Rasani to world class Arthur Williams a murky and blurred one. Haye and manager Adam Booth are fully aware that, should the talented Londoner dispose of Williams obvious threat on Wednesday night, theres no going back for the 23-year-old hotshot. The demand will be massive, the pressure intense, the spotlight on full beam. In terms of opposition, one imagines, like Hayes rapid progress, it will have to be onwards and upwards from here on. Something that doesnt bother Haye in the slightest.
That is exactly what I want and is exactly what I thrive on. If I can show that I can beat guys like Arthur Williams, why would I need to drop back down a level, just to pad my record more? Its common sense to just continue my progression, and when I beat Williams, to then look for the next step up. I dont want to be protected, and I dont want to be involved in fights that offer no threat to me. Once I beat Williams, the only fights Ill be looking for will be meaningful, risky contests that will bring out the best in me. I believe that its far more beneficial for me to be over-matched than under-matched, because at least if Im given hard fights Ill be 100% up for it, and given the chance to show what I can do.
The best of Haye will have to be shown in all its glory on Wednesday night to come through this taxing Arthur Williams test unscathed. Williams, teak tough, experienced and unlikely to be fazed by anything the showy prospect in front of him has to offer, will be there from the start pitching, and unless Haye produces something truly spectacular, will also be around at the end of the scheduled eight rounds. Look for Haye to focus more on his blinding hand speed and ring nouse, than his touted power punching. Note the regular use of Hayes left jab, something that he often neglects when he realises an opponent poses no obvious threat to him. The young Bermondsey talent is fully aware of Williams' tough jaw, and will in all likelihood elect brain over brawn to outscore the highly rated Williams over the distance. Whatever happens, as Hayes first tester against African wild man Lolenga Mock proved, it wont be one to take youre eyes off.

BMW vows no power loss with 4-cylinder U.S. sedan revival
DETROIT – BMW AG, facing higher fuel-efficiency requirements under the Obama administration, is bringing four-cylinder engines back to the United States 12 years after it quit offering the slow-selling option.
BMW says it will offer a four-cylinder engine in its Z4 roadster and 5-series mid-sized sedans when they begin arriving at U.S. dealers in October, and the company says more nameplates will get the smaller engine with the Munich-based automaker's TwinPower turbo.
BMW dropped the engine from its 3-Series line in 1999, when gasoline cost $1.14 a gallon.
"It wasn't in line with our image, because it didn't have the performance of the six cylinder," said Jim O'Donnell, head of BMW's U.S. operations. "We were selling ourselves as the ultimate driving machine and really it wasn't. Now that the engines have developed so far, it's not an issue at all."
BMW, this year's top-seller of luxury autos in the United States, joins Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen AG's Audi in bringing new turbocharged, four-cylinder engines to the world's second-biggest market as the Obama administration pushes the industry for increases in fuel efficiency to reduce dependency on imported oil.
The U.S. corporate average fuel economy, or CAFE, requirement is rising to 35.5 mpg by 2016 and to 54.5 mpg by 2025. It increases to 30.1 mpg this year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, up from 27.5 mpg in 2010.
Regulatory driven
"CAFE is definitely driving this," O'Donnell said in an interview in Monterey, California. "This is huge for us. If we get this wrong, it screws up all of our plans in the U.S."
BMW's CAFE rating for passenger cars was 29.9 mpg in model year 2011 and 25.5 mpg for its light trucks, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration's website. Daimler's CAFE for passenger cars was 26.9 mpg and 21.1 mpg for light trucks.
Failure to meet U. S. requirements produces fines of $55 per mile below the requirement multiplied by the total number of vehicles sold, Greg Schroeder, a research analyst at the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said in a telephone interview.
Selling 200,000 vehicles with a CAFE 20 mpg below the target, for example, would lead to an annual fine of $220 million. "As the fuel economy doubles they have to change their plan," Schroeder, the industry analyst, said. "They're going to have to improve fuel economy, they can't just sit and pay fines forever."
Mercedes paid fines totaling $2.94 million in 2009, according to NHTSA's website. BMW paid $5.1 million in fines in 2006, the site said.
Ignoring customers
While consumers have been demanding more efficient vehicles as gasoline prices approached $4 a gallon this year, it isn't clear that fuel prices will remain high enough to keep demand in line with rising fuel-economy standards.
Analysts including Tom Libby of R.L. Polk & Co. see a risk of the government pushing the industry to make cars that people don't want to buy.
"A lot of these powertrain decisions and product programs we're seeing going forward, people will be thinking, 'Gee, why would a customer want that?' " said Libby, who studies the industry for Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey-based Polk.

From an Arkansas National Guard News Release
VILONIA, Ark., April 28, 2014 More Arkansas National Guard members have been called to active duty to help residents of the state recover from a deadly tornado that swept through the communities of Mayflower and Vilonia Sunday.
Reports say the twister left at least 18 people dead.
In addition to the 54 soldiers called to state active duty overnight to assist local authorities with traffic control, search and rescue, and medical evacuation, an additional six Guard members were tasked early this morning to deliver several fresh water trailers to support the needs of local residents and the vast number of volunteers.
The Arkansas Department of Emergency Management also passed a request from the Faulkner County judge for the National Guard to provide a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter and crew to conduct low-level aerial search over the shore line of Lake Conway and through the wooded areas in the path of the storm for additional victims.
Initially, 46 members of the Arkansas National Guard were called to state active duty to assist local authorities in the hard-hit communities. That first call-out and subsequent responses from Guard members brought the grim realization that numerous Guardsmen and their family members were directly affected. Within the first few hours following the storm, both Army and Air National Guard members began to check in with their commanders and on each other - neighbor to neighbor.
The Arkansas National Guard confirmed that one member perished when the tornado struck Vilonia. The name is being withheld pending notification of next-of-kin.
Additionally, dozens of Guard members' homes were damaged or destroyed, and an unconfirmed number of family members were injured or hospitalized.
Despite these difficult circumstances, more than 50 Guard members from the central Arkansas area responded to the call to help their neighbors, friends and fellow Guard families in need.
Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe summed up the situation during a morning news conference in Mayflower. "These are Arkansans helping Arkansans, like they always do -- neighbor helping neighbor in a time of need," the governor said.
Beebe noted that multiple state agencies, nearby communities and a large number of civilian volunteers have responded to help. From a national perspective, Beebe indicated that the federal government pledged to make resources available to help in the recovery and rebuilding of the devastated communities.
The Arkansas National Guard has 59 personnel, 24 vehicles and one UH-60 helicopter supporting the ongoing operations.
Units supporting these missions are the 87th Troop Command, the 39th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, and the 77th Theater Aviation Brigade - all from the central Arkansas area.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- Oregon runner Galen Rupp has earned Academic All-America of the year honors as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Rupp was a Business Administration major with a 3.89 grade point average. He is the first track and cross country athlete to win the award since its inception in 1988.
Rupp shares the honor with quarterback Greg Micheli of Div. III champion Mount Union College, who majored in Physics and Mathematics with a 3.84 GPA.
Rupp, a member of the 2008 Olympic team, won six NCAA championships his senior year. Rupp also captured the 10,000 meters at the U.S. championships last month.
