Nike To Sell Umbro For $225M To Iconix Brand Group By Year's End
Published October 24, 2012
STILL KICKIN' IT: In N.Y., Michael de la Merced writes selling Umbro "will not leave the company without a presence in the global soccer market: it still sells the Nike Football line of gear" (NYTIMES.com, 10/24). The WALL STREET JOURNAL's Shelly Banjo reports Iconix "owns or licenses more than two dozen brands," including Ed Hardy and Candies, and "had bought Starter from Nike in 2007." Nike over the past few years has been "unloading its smaller brands to focus on its namesake and Jordan brands" (WSJ.com, 10/24).
STILL A BUYER: Nike yesterday indicated that it "made a minority investment in LLamasoft Inc., a Michigan software company that makes supply chain and transportation design software." In Portland, Erik Siemers noted the companies will "work together to co-develop products capable of making Nike's global supply chain operations more efficient and environmentally sustainable." The terms of Nike's investment were not disclosed (BIZJOURNALS.com, 10/23).

IT'S POTEMKIN VILLAGES ALL THE WAY DOWN: Ousted Bill de Blasio aide Rachel Noerdlinger provided insider info and 'talking points' to Al Sharpton.
A former top aide to Mayor de Blasio's wife served as a backchannel messenger to both the mayor and the Rev. Al Sharpton, emails released to the Daily News Thursday reveal.
Rachel Noerdlinger provided Sharpton, her former boss, with insider info and delivered "talking points" to Sharpton to have him attack unfavorable stories on de Blasio, the emails, provided to the News as part of a Freedom of Information request, show.
She also got Sharpton to lend a hand when de Blasio was under fire for interceding on behalf of a supporter, the Rev. Orlando Findlayter, who'd been arrested for outstanding warrants related to traffic violations and a civil disobedience arrest.

The Worstby LATCHAMj on 02/28/2005
This is the worst hotel on South Beach. The staff is rude, the rooms have not all been renovated, they don't speak Englsih and they are slow and mostly incompotent. I would never stay here again. This was the worst hotel experience of my life. I HATE THIS PLACE. DO NOT STAY HERE!
Location and value!by brickhouse on 04/15/2004
When you go to SoBe - you have to figure what you want out of a hotel when you pick a place to stay. Seocnd time I have stayed here. This hotel is diagonally across from Delano, and is one block from beach. Clean, simple hotel. Wood floors, nice comfy beds, cute patio and simple breakfast on secluded garden patio. great little bar for drinks in evening before dinner. Garden patio was nice to nap in after day at beach before going out. so if you want value, no frills, this is your place.

Here's my preview of the final.
If Germany can contain David Villa. who has scored five goals in the tournament so far, I think they can avenge their 1-0 defeat in the Euro 2008 final.
Argentina against Germany in Cape Town is the one I'm really looking forward to as I've commentated on two World Cup finals between these two teams.
The final last eight game is Paraguay v Spain. There is a bit of history to this one as well.
I think the Dutch will stretch Brazil, but I take the South Americans to go through to the semis.
In the other match, Ghana might find this a step too far against the experienced Uruguayans.
The opening clash in Pretoria sees two of the outsiders in the competition in Paraguay and Japan, while the second match sees pre-tournament favourites Spain take on Portugal, who are developing a reputation for having one of the best defences in the tournament.
Here's my day 19 preview - click on the video below to see my picks.
Here's my verdict below:
On the face of it it looks like the Netherlands and Brazil going through, but I don't anticipate an easy time for the favourites in either of these games.
There is also an all-Latin America clash between Argentina and Mexico at Soccer City in Johannesburg.
Commentating legend John Motson looks back at previous England-Germany encounters and previews both games in South Africa, and gives his predictions.
Commentating legend John Motson looks forward to both games and the players to watch out for.
Commentating legend John Motson looks ahead to four potentially fascinating encounters as the teams in Groups G and H look to qualify for the last 16.
A draw for the Italians could see New Zealand produce one of the great World Cup shocks if they can beat Paraguay and eliminate the 2006 winners.
In Group E Japan take on Denmark in Rustenburg with both sides on three points after each team beat Cameroon and lost to the Netherlands. The Japanese have a superior goal difference, so only need a draw, but the Danes will be hoping Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner can shake off his groin injury and hit the net.
The Dutch, who are already assured of qualification, only need a point against Cameroon to secure top spot in the group.
Here's my day 14 preview - click on the video below to see my picks.
In the other Group C game the United States face Algeria, with both teams still in with a chance of qualifying for the last 16.
Group D is equally finely balanced with all four teams capable of going through. Australia need a win against Serbia as do Ghana, who face Germany.
Here's my day 13 preview - click on the video below to see my picks.

High Tech, Low Life follows two of China's first citizen-reporters as they document the underside of the country's rapid economic development. A search for truth and fame inspires young vegetable seller "Zola" to report on censored news stories from the cities, while retired businessman "Tiger Temple" makes sense of the past by chronicling the struggles of rural villagers. Land grabs, pollution, rising poverty, local corruption and the growing willingness of ordinary people to speak out are grist for these two bloggers who navigate China's evolving censorship regulations and challenge the boundaries of free speech.

Wisden Obituary
Kumar Shri Duleepsinhji, who died from a heart attack in Bombay on December 5, 1959, aged 54, was among the best batsmen ever to represent England, and certainly one of the most popular. Ill-health limited his first-class career to eight seasons, but in that time he scored 15,485 runs, including 50 centuries, at an average of 49.95. A remarkably good slip fieldsman, he brought off 256 catches. "Duleep" or "Mr. Smith," as he was affectionately known in cricketing circles, was in the Cheltenham XI from 1921 to 1923, and when captain in the last year headed the batting figures with an average of 52.36, his highest innings being 162. He also met with considerable success as a leg-break bowler, and in 1922 was top of the averages with 50 wickets at 13.66 runs each, but he rarely bowled after leaving school. During this time HS Altham, the present President of MCC, wrote of him in Wisden: "In natural gifts of eye, wrist and footwork he is certainly blest far above the ordinary measure... there is no doubt about the judgment and certainty with which he takes toll of straight balls of anything but the most immaculate length. His late cutting is quite beautiful and there is a certain ease and maturity about all his batting methods that stamps him as of a different class from the ordinary school batsman." The accuracy of this estimate of his qualities was borne out when in 1925 he went up to Cambridge. He got his Blue as a Freshman, scoring 75 in the University match, and also played against Oxford in 1926 and 1928. Illness kept him out of the side for most of the 1927 season.
His career with Sussex, whom he captained in 1932, began in 1926 and he headed the county averages in every season until 1932, when doctors advised him not to take further part in cricket. In 1930 he hit 333 in five and a half hours against Northamptonshire at Hove, which still stands as the highest individual innings played for Sussex and the beat the biggest put together by his famous uncle, KS Ranjitsinhji -- 285 not out against Somerset at Taunton in 1901; three times he reached three figures in each innings of a match, 246 and 115 v. Kent at Hastings in 1929, 116 and 102 not out v. Middlesex and 125 and 103 not out for Gentlemen v. Players, both at Lord's the next summer; and in 1931 he registered 12 centuries, four of them in successive innings.
He made 12 appearances for England and in his first against Australia in 1930 he obtained 173. Of this display a story is told that, when Prince Duleepsinhji was at last caught in the long field from a rash stroke, his uncle remarked: "He always was a careless lad." His one tour abroad was with the MCC team in New Zealand and Australia in 1929-30, when he scored more runs than any other member of the side. A. H. H. Gilligan, the captain, rated him the best player of slow bowling on a wet pitch that he ever saw. "Duleep" had to withdraw from the team for DR Jardine's "bodyline" tour of 1932-33.
He joined the Indian foreign service in 1949 and became High Commissioner for India in Australia and New Zealand. Upon returning to India in 1953 he was appointed chairman of the public service commission in the State of Saurashtra.
When he retired from cricket through recurring illness, Wisden wrote of him: "Of singular charm of character; extremely modest of his own wonderful ability; and with a love for the game which transcended his joy in all other pastimes, Duleepsinhji will always be remembered as one of the outstanding personalities during his period in first-class cricket." So he remained to the end.
Wisden Almanack 1960
The Cricketer obituary
Maharaj Kumar Shri Duleepsinhji, the former Sussex and England cricketer and one of the world's outstanding batsmen, died suddenly of a heart attack at his Bombay home on December 5, two days after setting up a training camp for cricket coaches. He was 54, and though he died comparatively young he lived longer than was at one time thought likely; for his life was clouded by illness which forced him more than once to lay aside his cricket and finally caused a premature retirement from the game at the early age of 27.
Yet in the brief career that he was able to enjoy; he proved himself an artist with the bat, an enchanting batsman of impeccable technique, as elegant as he was successful, and revealing an innate quality of batsmanship to the most searching connoisseur.
Prince Duleepsinhji was born in India on June 13, 1905,and as a nephew of the famous Ranjitsinhji, it was as if he were destined from birth for greatness on the cricket field. He was sent for his education to England and made his mark as a player of distinction while still a boy at Cheltenham College, where he was in the XI from 1921 to 1923, being considered the best schoolboy batsman of the year in his final season when he was captain: he then played an innings of 108 for Lord's Schools against the Rest, and: his prowess, not unnaturally, so delighted his uncle that Ranji approached Sussex with a view that his nephew might appear for his former county. In the following year, 1924, Duleep made his debut in first-class cricket and played his first match for Sussex, thus beginning his brief but glorious career, in which his genuine charm as a man was as much a feature as his brilliant merits as a cricketer. He was universally popular throughout his playing days and was affectionately known as "Smith," and for all the adulation that was heaped upon him he remained essentially modest and retiring, revelling much more in a well-played innings of 30 than in a centuryof easy acquisition.
It was the word and reputation of his uncle that he revered in particular, and he considered his own batting-gifted as it was-a mere shadow of that of the great Ranji: Sussex, indeed, were fortunate in possessing both of these batsmen, each at the height of his power. Duleepsinhji played for Cambridge from 1925 until 1928, but it was during his university career that illness first struck at his cricket. Early in 1927 he scored the highest innings ever made for Cambridge - 254 not out against Middlesex at Fenner's-following which he fell seriously ill and played no more that season. Suffering from a pulmonary disease, he was obliged to spend the winter in Switzerland. he returned to England, and with restored health was a more formidable batsman than ever.
In each of the seasons from 1928 to 1931 he increased his aggregate, exceeding 2,500 runs in each of the last three years. In 1929 he was chosen to play in the first of his 12 Test matches for England, and in the winter of that year visited Australia and New Zealand under his Sussex captain, A. H. H. Gilligan. At Hastings in 1929 he performed one of the most outstanding feats in county cricket by taking 115 and 246 off the Kent attack, both innings being scored at well over a run a minute.
In 1930, a golden year for him, his feats were memorable indeed. In his first innings that year at Hove, he established a ground record with a magnificent 333 scored in a single day against Northamptonshire - the biggest score ever made for Sussex, exceeding the record of his uncle. At Lord's in 1930 his performances were quite phenomenal. For Sussex against Middlesex he scored a century in each innings and in the following month repeated the feat for the Gentlemen against Players. He scored a memorable 173 in the Test match against Australia (this was his Test debut against Australia), while for M.C.C. in May he had hit the Australians for 92.
In 1931, when he took over the captaincy of Sussex, he scored four centuries in successive innings, and in 1932 - which was to be his final season - he almost led Sussex to the top of the table. Illness struck again and cruelly ended his career. For Sussex alone he scored 9,178 runs, including 35 centuries, at an average of 51.56. His supple wrists drove and cut brilliantly; his lithe figure, speed of foot and quick ness of eye made each of his innings a thing of beauty.
He was a delightful, swift fielder, especially at slip, and his every movement on the cricket field was graced with elegance. Altogether in his first-class career he hit 49 hundreds in his 15,306 runs, scored at an average of 49.69. In 1949 he joined the Indian foreign service and held the post of High Commissioner for India in Australia and New Zealand, and in 1954 was appointed chairman of the public service commission in Saurashtra. He was no less popular as diplomat than as cricketer. He was also chairman of the All-India Sports Council, to which position he was appointed only a few months before his death.

Overnatningen hos Joan var en fornøjelse. Vi blev modtaget med et smil og følte os trygge med det samme. Værelset og sengen var rigtig fin og der manglede ikke noget - et dejligt hus.
Min datter og jeg havde brug for et sted at overnatte efter en hård søndag på Tinderbox. Joans hus ligger i gåafstand fra festivalpladsen og vi kunne parkere bilen lige udenfor hoveddøren og gå frem og tilbage.
Vi kom lidt halvsent hjem søndag, så vi mødte først Joan mandag morgen. Selv om det ikke var meget vi fik talt sammen virkede Joan sød og rar.
Alt hos Joan var pænt og nydeligt og opfyldte til fulde vores behov.
The room was not very big but could accommodate two people without any problems. The neighbourhood was very peaceful and there were a couple of supermarkets nearby. Yes, we definitely recommend Joan.
We had a very nice stay at Joan's place. She was very welcoming and helpful. The room was cozy and tidy. It was great to be able to rent bikes from her. It was a very pleasant weekend.
Joan made us very welcome and there were no unreasonable restrictions on our use of the room. The house was immaculate and car parking was very conveniently located outside our room. The house was a few miles from the centre of Odense which was easily accessible by our car.
We had a lovely stay at Joan's place, a very warm & welcoming host and a lovely peaceful place to stay with a really comfy bed!
Joan is a nice host, friendly, but respects the privacy of her guest. The house has two rooms and the guest room is located right across Joan's room. The room size is ok for couple, has no wardrobe but you can hang your clothes from hanger on top of the room's door.
Usually I prefer to stay in apartment on my own, without the owner; that way I will feel free, including cooking my favourite foods, which could smell funny in other peoples' nose.
Joan's house is clean, tidy and has good facilities. She was in the garden at the back of the house when I arrived. But she welcomed me to come inside the house as soon as she heard my knock. Then she gave an orientation of her house and showed me how to operate the facilities in it.
In the e-mails Joan gave me instructions on how to get to her house using public transport from Odense Central Station. I felt quite nervous about it as I felt that the instruction was not very clear. So I looked further into the Route Planner Denmark (Rejseplanen) to get more information. From it (the website) I found out that Dragebakken in Sanderum, where Joan's place is located, is among the last stops for Bus 40.
On the day of my arrival, after alighting from Bus 40, I walked in the direction Joan wrote me in her e-mails, until I saw a pole with sign 216-234. However Joan's house is no. 140. I walked until I saw a house number 234. I got confused and worried. Luckily I got help from a lady staying near the area. But she was also new there and didn't know where the house no. 140. So I walked with her to the next two right lanes, went round the area, before we found Joan's house.
Actually Joan's house is just 'behind' the house number 234. Maybe Joan should have written 'walk straight ahead until you see house number 234, then continue further until you see her house, which is number 140. To me, the house number 234 looked like the last house in that lane, and I was confused.
The bus ride from Odense Central Station (Odense Banegard) costs 23 Krone one way (46 Kroner for return journey). The bus ticket can be purchased directly from the bus driver. The duration of the bus ride from Odense Banegard to the bus stop near Joan's house was about 20 minutes one way.
Would be renter should note that these facts, which was not stated in the host's listing page information – Joan charges for a number of things:
The use of her washing machine (25 Krone per wash)
Coffee 3 Krone per cup or 10 Krone per jug,
Tea 3 Krone per cup and,
Bicycle rent 25 Krone per day or 100 Krone per week.
There are two supermarket within walking distance from the house – good if you want to buy anything from there.

The GREASE star has successfully beaten the disease herself - after being diagnosed in 1992 - so she knows how important peace and privacy are to Kylie's chances of recovery.
She says, "I just feel so badly for her because it's the very time you need to respect someone's privacy and leave them alone. It was a similar experience for me. I was about to go on tour (to the US) when I discovered I had cancer, so the similarities are very alike.
"The paparazzi weren't quite as crazy 13 years ago as they are now. But I just think that there is a time and a place for everything and this is not the time to be hanging at her house - you need to leave her alone."
Newton-John - who is currently raising money for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Centre Appeal - adds how Kylie's cancer proves it can affect women of all ages.
She says, "It's a wake-up call for women that we need to self-examine on a regular basis and there is no age limit
"Early detection is key for a good diagnosis and I think a lot of women get scared to self-examine because they are scared they'll find something - but really, the obvious thing is to get into the habit from a very young age."19/05/2005 17:36

Gold Coast The Rat LongboardView Larger Image
- Detail Images
Set your street on fire when you adjust the Gold Coast Rat Longboard for total downhill annihilation. The Mactrac adjustable wheelbase allows you to widen the wheelbase for cheek-inflating speeds or narrow it for mellow carving on winding roads just out of town. Soft, big Shed Boot wheels get you through the rough patches and a kicktail prevents bloody bounces off the asphalt because of perfectly placed potholes. Die-cut grip tape sticks to your kicks when the wind scream tries to blow you off the Rat.

BWW Interviews: Nigel Lythgoe Reveals Big Changes for New Season of AMERICAN IDOL, Premiering Tonight!
He continues, "Each one of the judges I think is looking for something else this year...I think Nicki is looking for an artist. I think Mariah is looking for the complete singer/songwriter. Randy is looking for somebody that sings on pitch, and Keith isn't just looking for a country star. Keith is looking for an instrumentalist, a good singer, and somebody that can capture that sort of magic charisma, if you will, and connect with the public. They all have their own agendas."
As far as celebrity judges and guest mentor appearances Lythgoe reveals, "Jimmy Lovine is coming back and I do want to go back to where we actually used record producers to help the kids. I want to do that again this year and try and give their journey the same journey that they would have had had they had not had this competition but moved in to the music business. The more I can align it to the music business the stronger it is going to be for them and their journey."
Season 12, contestants will have a lot to live up to if compared to last year's champion Phillip Phillips, whose debut single, 'Home' has soared to the top of the charts. Yet despite that initial success, Lithgoe is reluctant to declare him a bona fide star. "Certainly that song has been one of the biggest but Phillip's still got to prove himself. We can't just sort of jump up and down and go, 'Wow. He's a major star now.' There's a long way to go to be the next Carrie Underwood who's sustained so well, Kelly Clarkson who's sustained so well."
What is the secret to winning American Idol? Lithgoe has his own theory. "It isn't always about the voice," he begins. "It is about charisma, it is about personality, it is about attracting an audience and doing that week on week. If there was an absolute formula to stick to in order to win American Idol we'd have probably found it by now, bottled it, and I'm sure one of the production companies would be selling it but we haven't. It's really what grabs you. Does the story grab you? Does the song of the week grab you? It's a difficult one."
"At the end of the day," he concludes, "when you've got five guys and five girls... it's anybody's game at that stage."
The two night season premiere of American Idol kicks off on Wednesday, January 16th with auditions in New York and Thursday, January 17th with auditions in Chicago both beginning at 8/7c on Fox.

Fish Out of Water
How Water Management in the Bay-Delta Threatens the Future of California's Salmon Fishery
Prized as a healthful food, valued by recreational and commercial fishermen, and central to the culture of many of California's Native American tribes, Chinook salmon sustain local economies from the central coast of California to Oregon. But in April 2008, state and federal agencies took the unprecedented step of completely closing the commercial fishery for Chinook salmon. And California now faces the possibility of becoming a state where salmon fishing is a thing of the past and where wild, locally caught California salmon permanently vanishes from restaurant menus and supermarkets. This July 2008 issue paper examines the operation of water management projects in the state as one of the most significant -- and reversible -- causes of the fishery collapse and provides comprehensive policy recommendations for restoring and sustaining this treasured resource.

Wether or not he was born in America or not. He does not salute our American Flag, He does not believe in anything this country was founded and believed in. He is the problem of this country. Anyone that voted for him is either an idiot or a freeloader. Educate yourselves America. The worst is yet to come..
#135880 Jan 7, 2013
Let's abolish term limits for presidents and keep the neocons from power as long as possible. Tell your state legislatures to support H.J.RES.15. I'd be tickled pink if Obama was still president in the year 2020 and beyond, wouldn't you?

Hollywood director, producer and documentary film maker Aaron Russo, currently receiving a wave of plaudits for his latest release, America: From Freedom to Fascism, told The Alex Jones Show that Nicholas Rockefeller had personally assured him there was going to be an "event" that would trigger the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq eleven months before 9/11 took place.
During his career in the entertainment industry, Russo was manager for Bette Midler from 1972 to 1979 [1] and The Manhattan Transfer, and the producer of the films The Rose and Trading Places. He also produced Wise Guys. Russo has stated that he was the first person to book Led Zeppelin in a United States venue,(the "Electric Circus," Chicago,1968, later named the "Kinetic Playground").
Saying he had been approached many times by the Rockefellers and other members of the CFR elite in an attempt to recruit him, Russo recalled a conversation that would come home to roost on September 11, 2001.
"Here's what I do know first hand - I know that about eleven months to a year before 9/11 ever happened I was talking to my Rockefeller friend (Nicholas Rockefeller) and he said to me 'Aaron there's gonna be an event' and he never told me what the event was going to be - I'm not sure he knew what the event was going to be I don't know that he knew that," said Russo.
Russo related how Rockefeller knew precisely what the event would lead to and which countries would be militarily targeted by the elite.
"He just said there's gonna be an event and out of that event we're gonna invade Afghanistan so we can run pipelines through the Caspian sea, we can go into Iraq to take the oil and establish bases in the middle east and to make the middle east part of the new world order and we're going to go after Venezuela - that's what's going to come out of this event."
"Eleven months to a year later that's what happened....he certainly knew that something was going to happen."
"In my relationships with some of these people I can tell you that it's as evil as it really gets - this is it - this is the game," stated Russo - also relating how members of the elite were routinely obsessed by creating a world identification society where people had to carry ID cards and prove who they were at all times.
#135885 Jan 7, 2013
Why should you care where the best president since Kennedy was born, Obama has kept us from realizing Netenyahu's wet dream of world war 3 with Iran and the rest of the Middle East. And Obama's nomination of Hagel for Secretary of Defense is the icing on the cake as that's also Israel's worst nightmare. Do you see a plan coming together, yet?
#135886 Jan 7, 2013
It sounds like Obama has money to help the ones
that had to foreclose mortgages. Didn't the banks (government)
just give them loans that would burn them? I just think
credit card companies and banks are all government. Who else has that kind of money?
#135887 Jan 7, 2013
Too bad Aaron Russo is dead huh? maybe the cabal gave him a Breitbart moment?
#135888 Jan 7, 2013
What the hell are you talking about? "A good reason to kill my child". Nutjob. You didn't read the post that got this started, did you? Figures. No wonder your post is BS.
#135889 Jan 7, 2013
I see that you are an illiterate fool
#135890 Jan 7, 2013
I take it you didn't notice the word in CAPS? CLARIFICATION!
#135892 Jan 7, 2013
Admit the truth for once in your sorry life. You can't handle it when your own game is thrown right back in your face, can you? No! And you were just telling me to keep my post polite. You're a frickin' joke now just like you've been all long! Spare the world your rudeness.
#135893 Jan 7, 2013
You are truly a fecking moron if you're going to include a link to Woody Guthrie's This Land is Your Land.
You are beyond dumb.
#135894 Jan 7, 2013
Guess what ... feck off, moron.
#135895 Jan 7, 2013
We are a Constitutional Republic, all branches of government are under the complete jurisdiction of the Constitution and for any branch or persons of any branch to violate any part of it is nothing short of treason.
Now for the last two presidential elections the 14th Amendment has been violated, not only is Obama not a Natural Born Citizen, he isn't even a citizen. This is very well known, since he was born a citizen of his father's nation and not subject to the jurisdiction of the Constitution.
Now the Wong Kim Ark v. US was a violation of the Constitution, since the USSC can not change any part of the Constitution, which it did try to do, this can only be done with an amendment.
As I read the 2nd amendment, this is the only part of the US Constitution that can never be amended, to try will be an act of treason.

So if I understasnd the above gibberish correctly, all of this stuff happened from 2000 on, it was a Republican strategy, and probably under-the-table engineering by Rove/Rumsfeld/Cheney and company. Okay.
Nonetheless, you are such a dreamer. And I can't even exactly identify which side you are on. Doesn't matter, does it? Indeed, you base this intelligence on Bette Midler's former agent who thereafter did a few forgettable films. Fiction -reality - fiction, who knows?
#135899 Jan 7, 2013
Are we to hold a Naturalized Citizen to a higher standard than we do a Natural Born Citizen? NOT!!
United States citizens..
I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform :noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.
Visiting aliens or illegal aliens are not held to these standards and these standards can not be forced upon them, since they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US Constitution, these are only rights acquired through citizenship.
All children born in the US of aliens are just that, aliens. They acquire the citizen ship of their fathers' at birth, since the fathers are still citizens of their nation of origin.
Our Constitution has never recogniuzed a dual-citizenship status.
#135900 Jan 7, 2013
Yes, the Dick Act of 1902, or is it 1903, I forget which, anyway the Dick Act cannot be repealed and, the Dick Act guarantees to all citizens the right to hold military grade weapons as well. Maybe someone should tell Fineswine about the Dick Act of 1902.

Kraft Hockeyville
Kraft Hockeyville is an annual competition sponsored by Kraft Foods, the National Hockey League and the NHL Players' Association in which communities compete to demonstrate their commitment to the sport of ice hockey. The winning community gets a cash prize dedicated to upgrading their local home arena, as well as host an NHL pre-season game. Runner-ups also get smaller cash prizes to upgrade their ice rinks. The contest is normally held in the spring during the latter half of the NHL regular season, with the pre-season game usually held in September before the following regular season.
The competition was first held across Canada in 2006 as a reality television series aired by CBC Television, but since 2007, it has been relegated to segments aired during CBC's Hockey Night in Canada. In 2015, Kraft Hockeyville was expanded into the United States, with a separate competition for communities in America; segments of the US contest are aired on the NHL on NBC.
2006 season[edit]
|Kraft Hockeyville
|Country of origin
|Original language(s)

|No. of seasons
|Original channel
|CBC Television
|Original release
|2006 – present
The inaugural 2006 season of Hockeyville was won by the community of Salmon River, Nova Scotia on June 11. Salmon River's entry, the "Deuvilles Rink", beat 450 other entries from across Canada. Episodes for the 2006 season were shot in arenas in different cities throughout Ontario, with the final episode shot in Dave Andreychuk Mountain Arena & Skating Centre in Hamilton, Ontario.
The NHL exhibition game was held September 25 at the Colchester Legion Stadium in the neighbouring town of Truro (the Deuville Rink being too small); the Montreal Canadiens beat the Ottawa Senators 7-3.
- The Deuville rink was awarded the $50,000 Home Depot gift card prize and with the cards the roof was reshingled, new rink lights were installed, ceiling insulated and a heated section was installed at the end of the arena.
2007 season[edit]
The 2007 season of Hockeyville began on March 4 and was changed significantly from the previous season's format. Organizers made the application process more accessible. Communities could now enter by logging on to the website, creating a team name, filling out an application form, submitting a short essay and including three photographs which depict hometown pride and passion for the game of hockey. A video, which was a requirement in previous contests, is no longer part of the process.
In 2007 the series was no longer given its own time slot, but rather shown during broadcasts of Hockey Night in Canada.
The Top 10 communities resulting from the first round were Cornwall, Ontario; Nanaimo, British Columbia; Noëlville, Ontario; North Bay, Ontario; Plaster Rock, New Brunswick; Rockyford, Alberta; Saint-Hubert, Quebec; Smithers, British Columbia; Vernon, British Columbia and Warner, Alberta.
The Top 5 communities resulting from the second round were Cornwall, Noëlville, North Bay, Smithers and Warner.
North Bay was the winner. The Atlanta Thrashers beat the New York Islanders 4-3 in overtime.
2008 season[edit]
The 2008 season of Kraft Hockeyville began February 23.
The top 10 communities that were in the running for Kraft Hockeyville 2008 were:
- East: Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and Labrador vs. Rothesay, New Brunswick
- West: Wilcox, Saskatchewan vs. Redwater, Alberta
- Quebec: Rouyn-Noranda vs. Village sur Glace de Roberval
- Ontario: Huntsville vs. Kingsville
- Wildcard: Winnipegosis, Manitoba vs. Pilot Mound, Manitoba
The top 5 communities were:
- Week 1: Village sur Glace de Roberval (Quebec Region)
- Week 2: Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and Labrador (Atlantic Region)
- Week 3: Kingsville, Ontario (Ontario Region)
- Week 4: Wilcox, Saskatchewan (Western Region)
- Week 5: Pilot Mound, Manitoba (Wildcard)
On April 8, 2008, Roberval won the title of Kraft Hockeyville 2008. Roberval won:
- $100,000 towards upgrades to the Roberval Arena
- An NHL pre-season game at the Roberval Arena on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 in which the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-2.
- A Hockey Night in Canada broadcast from Roberval
The pre-season game has been taped and shown on a Hockeyville special Saturday, September 27.[1]
The 4 remaining communities from the Top 5 won:
- $20,000 to be used for upgrades to the Home Arena that the community endorses
- A Hockey Night in Canada broadcast from each of the remaining top five communities
2009 season[edit]
The 2009 edition had these cities as the five regional finalists:
- Atlantic: Harbour Grace, Newfoundland and Labrador
- Quebec: Thetford Mines, Quebec
- Ontario: Woolwich Township, Ontario
- Western: Terrace, British Columbia
- Wildcard: Humboldt, Saskatchewan
The winner, announced on March 7 during the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast, was Terrace, British Columbia. Terrace played host to the Vancouver Canucks and the New York Islanders on Monday, September 14, in which the Canucks defeated the Islanders by a score of 2-1. The game was broadcast live on NHL Network in the USA, and highlights were televised during a one-hour Kraft Hockeyville broadcast showcasing their community on CBC Television. Terrace also received CDN $100,000 towards arena upgrades from Kraft Canada.
2010 season[edit]
The five finalists for the 2010 edition of Hockeyville
- Atlantic: Bishop's Falls, Newfoundland and Labrador
- Quebec: Stanstead, Quebec
- Ontario: Dundas, Ontario
- Western: Cranbrook, British Columbia
- Wildcard: Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia
Dundas, Ontario was announced as the winner by Gary Bettman on April 3, 2010, during the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast with 1,066,855 votes.[2] The game featured division rivals Buffalo Sabres and Ottawa Senators playing in Dundas's J. L. Grightmire Arena on September 28, 2010, with Buffalo winning 2-1.[3] (Incidentally, Dundas has been, since 2001, within the boundaries of the city of Hamilton, Ontario, a frequent target of efforts regarding potential National Hockey League expansion.)
2011 season[edit]
In 2011, the wildcard was eliminated and the West and Pacific divisions were split from each other.
The top 5 communities were:
- Pacific: Mackenzie, British Columbia
- West: Bentley, Alberta
- Ontario: Wolfe Island
- Quebec: Saint-Raymond
- Atlantic: Conception Bay South, Newfoundland and Labrador
Conception Bay, NL, was declared the winner of Kraft Hockeyville 2011 on April 2, 2011. The town's arena received $100,000 worth of renovations, and also was to host a pre-season game between the Ottawa Senators and the Atlanta Thrashers on September 26, 2011. Prior to the season, however, the Thrashers were purchased by the Manitoba Moose and were relocated to Winnipeg (being renamed the Winnipeg Jets in the process); the Moose then affiliated with the new Jets, renamed themselves the St. John's IceCaps and relocated to the Mile One Centre in St. John's, 30 km north of Conception Bay South. The Hockeyville game was thus relocated to the Mile One Centre, where the de facto home Jets (featuring many players who would be with the IceCaps later that year) defeated the Senators, 3–1.[4]
Each of the other 4 finalists will receive $25,000 in arena upgrades from Kraft.
2012 season[edit]
Stirling-Rawdon, Ontario was the winner of the 2012 Kraft Hockeyville contest. The planned game between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 3[5][6] was eventually canceled due to the 2012–13 NHL lockout, but other festivities continued as scheduled. An NHL alumni charity game was held in the town instead, with one of the participants being Stirling native Rob Ray.
2013 season[edit]
Although the 2013 version of the contest was initially canceled outright due to the lockout,[7] the league later awarded a game between the Washington Capitals and the Winnipeg Jets to an arena in Belleville, Ontario under the Hockeyville brand.[8]
2014 season[edit]
The Top 16 towns for the Kraft Hockeyville contest were announced on Saturday, March 8. This year's contest has a theme much like the NHL itself: East VS West. This means there are 8 towns chosen from Eastern Canada and 8 towns from Western Canada.[9]
From Eastern Canada:
- Richmond, ON
- Prescott, ON
- Beeton, ON
- Exeter, ON
- Chicoutimi, QC
- Kingston, NS
- Amherst, NS
- Central Bedeque, PEI
From Western Canada:
- Salmon Arm, BC
- Kimberly, BC
- Osoyoos, BC
- Bruderheim, AB
- St. Albert, AB
- Sylvan Lake, AB
- Swift Current, SK
- Arborg, MB
This year, the top 16 towns are guaranteed $25,000 in upgrades to their arenas instead of the top 5. Then the top 4 (two from the East and two from the West) received at least $50,000. The winner receives the usual prize of $100,000, an NHL pre-season game hosted in their community, and a visit from CBC's Hockey Night in Canada. Voting for the top 16 ended on Monday, March 10.[10] Sylvan Lake won the competition on April 7, and hosted a pre-season game between the Arizona Coyotes and the Calgary Flames on September 24.
2015 season[edit]
For the 2015 season, Kraft Hockeyville USA, for the first time, drew candidates from the United States. The US finalist in the east was the Cambria County War Memorial Arena in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, while the finalist in the west was the Decatur Civic Center in Decatur, Illinois. Johnstown was named the winner on May 2, and will receive US$150,000 for arena upgrades, and will host the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Pittsburgh Penguins [11]
The Canadian Kraft Hockeyville finalist in the east was the Chatham Memorial Arena in Chatham, Ontario, and the finalist in the west was the Panorama Recreation Center Hockey Arena in North Saanich, British Columbia.

WILTON, Conn. – Felix Escobar knew people might have a craving for some pizza after Hurricane Sandy. So it was not a shock to see business at Tom-E-Toes Pizza rise as the cleanup from the major storm continued.
"We got really busy," said Escobar, owner of the pizza shop in Wilton Center. "We sold a lot of pizza."
Escobar said the store never lost power when the hurricane hit Wilton last week and plenty of hungry patrons came by to get pies when they could not cook at their powerless homes.
The story was much the same at Cactus Rose Cantina, also in the Wilton River Plaza. The restaurant even had a $10 hurricane lunch special.
"My business went up," said owner Katerina Pertesis. "We had no problems." She was also busy on Friday, preparing for customers ready to enjoy an evening out after a long week of storm and snow recovery.
Something of a transition is starting at Wilton Hardware. Store owner Tom Sato said the shop was buzzing with customers immediately after Sandy as people picked up batteries, flashlights and gas cans to carry fuel to power generators.
"The stuff went flying out of the store," said Sato, who opened his store earlier in anticipation of the hurricane. "Even after Sandy and people got power back on Tuesday, we were busy."
More people visited after Sandy to get gas cans and supplies for friends in New York's Long Island and New Jersey, where thousands are still without power.
People are also picking up supplies to clean their yards after Sandy as well as getting home decorations for Thanksgiving and Christmas. "I think they are getting back to being normal and they're beginning to talk about the holidays," Sato said.
On the other hand, business was predictably slow at Une Minette clothing store in Wilton Center and owner Lauren Robak knew what to expect.
"After a storm, you're not thinking of doing much shopping," she said. The store did donate 10 percent of its sales last week to the American Red Cross. Robak hopes shoppers will come back and support small businesses as things get back to normal.
