Bobby Jones Day: RedHawks to honor long time manager Friday
Bobby Jones was here when the Texas Rangers came to town as the Oklahoma City 89ers' parent club.
Now, more than 27 years later, Jones will be here when the Rangers likely shift their affiliation from the team now known as the RedHawks to the Round Rock Express.
Jones hasn't been in Oklahoma the whole time, but he's spent much of the last three decades in the state, first as a player with both the 89ers and Tulsa Drillers and then through three stints as the manager in Oklahoma City and two stints in Tulsa.
With the RedHawks' affiliation almost certain to change next year, Jones is just as likely to be managing elsewhere, probably in Round Rock.
So the RedHawks will honor him with Bobby Jones Day tonight at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark before their 7:05 game against Reno. A plaque will be placed at the Brick honoring Jones' time with the team.
He is the organization's all-time leader in wins as a manager.
"It's pretty cool, isn't it?" Jones said sitting in his office with his brother, Curtis, before Thursday's game. "They didn't have to do all this. It's really nice."
"All this" is much more than just honoring Jones.
The team flew in Jones' family for the event — his brother, his sister Rita and his daughter Jill.
Jones has been away from his family since 1967, leaving Elkton, Md., for professional baseball or military service in Vietnam.
Even though he's been away from home for more than 40 years, when the brothers get together, it's like they've never been apart.
"His wife, Debbie, can't get over it when she sees us together," Curtis Jones said. "You couldn't ask for a better person. We've never had a fight. Never.
"I tell my boys, 'I wish you were like Bobby.'"
Bobby is 18 months older than Curtis.
When Jones was drafted by the Washington Senators (now Rangers), he drove a 1965 Mustang.
Instead of taking it with him, Bobby left it for Curtis to drive while he walked to the ballpark every day.
When the Army drafted Bobby, he let his brother have the car.
"That's just kind of brother and person he is," Curtis said. "I always ran with Bobby and his buddies. It wasn't like he was telling me to get out there or nothing."
The RedHawks manager is laid back.
A lot of that demeanor can be traced to his service in Vietnam, he said.
His players certainly notice.
"Bobby's awesome," pitcher Zachary Phillips said. "Everyday he comes into the clubhouse happy."
Jones met wife Debbie while managing in Tulsa, and they still live there.
Unlike many managers, Jones can spend some time at home during the season.
He heads back to Tulsa for days off and after 11 a.m. games and occasionally after Sunday afternoon games.
As much as Jones has become a part of Oklahoma, he's even more a part of the Rangers' organization. Other than his time in Vietnam and brief stints with the Angels and in Japan, Jones has been part of the franchise.
"I never had any desire to go anywhere else or even go look anywhere else," Jones said.
Jones isn't ready to walk away from managing yet. Although he doesn't have a contract for next year, he's likely to still be managing for the Rangers.
He'll likely to return to Oklahoma City next year — to face the RedHawks.
"It'll definitely be weird," Jones said. "I've been sitting behind this desk since 2007, so it's going to be different."

The Prehistory of Southeast Asia: A Retrospective View of 40 Years Research
Higham, Charles, Antiquity
When David Clark asked me in 1970 to contribute a chapter on Southeast Asia for his new book, Models in archaeology, I faced a dilemma. What could one say about an area the size of Western Europe of which virtually nothing was known? So I entitled my chapter 'Initial model formulation in terra incognita' and speculated on the basis of the handful of sites that had been excavated (Higham 1972). Nor was the prognosis for the area at all promising. The war in Vietnam was spilling over into Laos and Cambodia. China remained a looming void to the north, Burma was not receptive and Malaysia did not welcome foreign archaeologists. Only Thailand shone like a welcoming beacon.
I had come to Southeast Asia by a circuitous route. Before going up to Cambridge in 1959, a decision by the government to end conscription into the army meant that I had two years to fill. My parents discovered that the Institute of Archaeology in London offered a two-year postgraduate diploma. Peter Grimes, who had just succeeded Gordon Childe as director, could see no reason why I should not enrol, so I studied Roman archaeology under Sheppard Frere. At Verulamium he taught me how to dig, and instilled in me the vital importance of publishing one's findings. And when be finished with excavating, he gave me his trowel, ground to a fine edge through continuous use. At Cambridge, I took the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age option, and my PhD was on the prehistoric economies of Switzerland and Denmark. In 1966 I joined the diaspora to the Antipodes, following in the footsteps of Jack Golson, Peter Gathercole and Rhys Jones, and arriving at the University of Otago in New Zealand at the same time that Peter Bellwood joined the University of Auckland. We had in common a coveted job, a gigantic area to explore and a complete ignorance of its prehistory.
Quite by chance, I was soon invited by Chester (Chet) Gorman, a graduate student at the University of Hawai'i, to report on some animal bones he had uncovered at a small rockshelter in northern Thailand called Spirit Cave. So I flew to Hawai'i and met Gorman, his contemporary Donn Bayard and their supervisor Bill Solheim, who invited me to join his major research project in Thailand. In the same year of 1968, I was appointed the Foundation Professor of Anthropology at Otago and invited Donn Bayard to accept the lectureship that went with it. This proposal fell flat when Solheim's application for an NSF grant was declined, but with shoestring funding from New Zealand, I began my fieldwork in Roi et Province in 1970 (Figures 1 & 2).
Bill Solheim had a mission: Southeast Asian prehistory had to be earlier, bigger and better than that of China. So as I turned to write my chapter for David Clark, I could refer to two sites opened by his graduate students. Gorman's excavation at Spirit Cave was held to have yielded the earliest Neolithic Revolution known, and Bayard's 1966 and 1968 excavations at Non Nok Tha, a cemetery site in north-east Thailand, had provided the earliest evidence in the world for bronze metallurgy (Solheim 1968, 1970, 1972). Both claims engendered widespread scepticism. Writing of the Bronze Age in the third edition of World Prehistory, Clark (1977: 345) succinctly noted that:
'The published evidence is unimpressive. The radiocarbon dates from the layers containing metal objects.... at Non Nok Tha is as anomalous as one might expect of a sequence which to judge by the published section of the 1968 excavations was so heavily disturbed by burials, rootholes, termites and washouts.'
To these sites, I could add the results of Per Sorensen's research at the Neolithic cemetery of Ban Kao (Sorensen & Hatting 1967), William Watson and Helmut Loofs-Wissowa's excavation of a second Neolithic site at Khok Charoen (Loofs-Wissowa 1997) and the accumulated but highly dated results of research by French colonial archaeologists stretching back to the 1860s. …

The entire theory of production centres revolves around the concept of production function.
Production function explains the quantitative relationship between the amounts of inputs used to get a particular physical quantity of outputs. The ratios between the two quantities are of great importance to a producer to take his decisions in the production process. The production is purely physical in nature and is determined by the quantum of technology,

Short review: The mind, the hugest sex organ will find foreplay in forms that might surprise yourself, but its safe to say, the passion naked through mostly solo, soft-core exhibits of this website will leave you drained and yet wanting more. With legs arched, spread and open for your gaze, their eyes still hold the power of drawing you in first, showing them, and the world, beauty radiates from all realms.
Content Amount: At first glance, you may think for their 6 years of existence, they dont hold as much as you would expect, but, when doing the math, I found they are pretty much on the mark, and a smidge over with their each week updating schedule. Well done.

Bolling v. Sharpe
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Bolling v. Sharpe, 347 U.S. 497 (1954)
Bolling v. Sharpe
No. 8
Argued December 10-11, 1952
Reargued December 9, 1953
Decided May 17, 1954
Racial segregation in the public schools of the District of Columbia is a denial to Negro children of the due process of law guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. Pp. 347 U. S. 498-500.
(a) Though the Fifth Amendment does not contain an equal protection clause, as does the Fourteenth Amendment, which applies only to the States, the concepts of equal protection and due process are not mutually exclusive. P. 347 U. S. 499.
(b) Discrimination may be so unjustifiable as to be violative of due process. P. 347 U. S. 499.
(c) Segregation in public education is not reasonably related to any proper governmental objective, and thus it imposes on Negro children of the District of Columbia a burden that constitutes an arbitrary deprivation of their liberty in violation of the Due Process Clause. Pp. 347 U. S. 499-500.
(d) In view of this Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education, ante, p. 347 U. S. 483, that the Constitution prohibits the States from maintaining racially segregated public schools, it would be unthinkable that the same Constitution would impose a lesser duty on the Federal Government. P. 347 U. S. 500.
(e) The case is restored to the docket for further argument on specified questions relating to the form of the decree. P. 347 U. S. 500.

What You Can Expect
Customer Reviews
November 2015
I had toured the Rhine once before many years ago, and so knew what to expect, yet was even more in awe this second time some 30 years later. Our only disappointment was the boat no longer goes all the way to Koblenze. We always recommend this trip to anyone visiting Central Europe
October 2015
We had an excellent time on the KD Rhine Tour. We would highly recommend this trip.
October 2015
Excellent experience. So many things to see and all from the comfort of a nice seats at tables. They announced in German and English as things were coming up on the river often giving details about the castles, towns and geography of the region. We took advantage of the all day pass and hopped off in Oberwessel to check out the castle there and were able to hop on the next boat to continue our journey.
September 2015
Really good, a very pleasant trip, magic sightseeing, good value
August 2015
The trip is awesome!
August 2015
Well worth the time and money.
June 2015
We took a trip from Mainz to Koblenz - got off the boat in Boppard and took another boat to Koblenz. This tour was really nice; definitely worthy experience. Stuff is very knowledgable and courteous.
October 2014
Great cruise only problem was we were not told about the last boat back to Weisbaden and the time. had to take a train back.
July 2014
Great trip! .
June 2014
Worth every cent! Buying the day ticket allows you freedom to do what you want. We spent a few hours cruising to St. Goar, another hour or so walking through and around the sights, then trained it back. It was our choice to use the train for return to Mainz due to other commitments.
Some people took their own food onboard to eat, but we had snacks, reasonably priced, but coffee overpriced for size.
The boat was clean, not crowded and staff onboard could have been more helpful. Waiter didn't return change from payment of bill, expecting it as a tip. Wife asked a question and was rudely told that he was too busy looking after people on the boat, and this was the same guy that took the tip. Well he thought he could take the tip, I asked him for the change. I told him it was up to me as to what I gave as a tip and that he should never expect.

"This is your counsellor, Marion Black, a summer student from Pitfield University. She will show you your cabin. Then you can come back and say goodbye to your parents," the camp director suggested.
"You're going to like it here. I think your bunkmates will keep you on your toes," Marion said, in a friendly voice.
Meghan walked into a noise of excited shouts and into a flurry of chicken feathers filling the cabin. The minute they stepped into the room it went quiet.
"Heather, Lisa, Jody, this is Meghan Small, your new roommate. I suggest you clean up the feathers and maybe show Meghan the ropes!" Marion tried to look stern but some feathers landed on her nose as she was talking and that was it, everyone laughed, including Marion.
Meghan joined the circle and Marion left.
"We were wondering what you'd be like," Jody commented. "This is a neat place. We arrived just yesterday."
"Don't worry about Marion, she's really nice. As soon as we pick up the feathers, we'll show you the boathouse."
Meghan felt better as she waved goodbye to her mom and dad. Her parents had reminded her that Dr. Williams was coming to pick her up on the last day of camp. The last day of the congress was the same day, so that made it impossible forthem to get back in time to take her home. Her new friends had already shown her the boathouse and were waiting to lead the way to the riding centre in the upper meadow.
"Do you know how to ride?" Jody asked, "I've never had a chance to learn before and I think I'm a little scared."
Meghan was probably one of the best riders of her age in the province, but she sensed it might not be a good time for them to know it.
"Well, I've ridden some. It's fun if you take it easy," she cautioned
The bell clanged to announce lunch and the girls ran down to the mess hall. The counsellors sat at the head table with the camp director. There were 12 counsellors (six girls and six boys) who were each responsible for two cabins, or eight children. The boisterous sound of happy young voices filled the air. The camp was designed for children from the ages of 10 to 13 and had been well planned. The camp director banged on the table to get everyone's attention. "Tomorrow the camp schedule starts. Your counsellor will explain the events and try to take into account any special requests, and be able to answer any of your questions or concerns."
For the first three days Meghan found herself caught up in the activities of the camp. She liked her new friends and they liked her. They spent two hours a day swimming in the lake. Each night they had a campfire, with songs and skits put on by a selected cabin. They went hiking and canoeing. She couldn't complain about the food because it was really good. At first nothing worried her. Even her disappointment about not going to the Griffen Riding Academy seemed less important. Then she discovered that something was going on!

Patients beginning therapy with busulfan should be informed of the importance of having periodic blood counts and to immediately report any unusual fever or bleeding. Aside from the major toxicity of myelosuppression, patients should be instructed to report any difficulty in breathing, persistent cough, or congestion. They should be told that diffuse pulmonary fibrosis is an infrequent, but serious and potentially life-threatening complication of long-term busulfan therapy. Patients should be alerted to report any signs of abrupt weakness, unusual fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, nausea and vomiting, and melanoderma that could be associated with a syndrome resembling adrenal insufficiency. Patients should never be allowed to take the drug without medical supervision and they should be informed that other encountered toxicities to busulfan include infertility, amenorrhea, skin hyperpigmentation, drug hypersensitivity, dryness of the mucous membranes, and rarely, cataract formation. Women of childbearing potential should be advised to avoid becoming pregnant. The increased risk of a second malignancy should be explained to the patient.

text: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF GEORGE GROSZ--A Little Yes and a Big No--is a most entertaining book and an important document on Germany. Here is the record of a German artist who was disgusted by German warmaking and who attacked the makers of war; who spent his youth as a Dadaist rebel in the years of bad food and inflation between the two wars in Germany; who felt the pressure of impending tyranny and, warned, he says, by a Kafka-esque nightmare of blind alleys, covert persecution and a plague of stinking fish, decided to decamp to America at the beginning of 1933. "Yes, it was indeed strange," he writes, "that the deeper significance of my dream remained hidden from me at that time. I know today that a definite Power wanted to save me from annihilation. Why I was to be spared, I do not know. Perhaps it was to serve as a witness." I have not read anything else which has made me feel to what degree life in Germany became intolerable during the years after the Treaty of Versailles. From George Grosz you get the impression that there were only two real courses possible: Hitlerism or flight. Though for a time, after the first of the wars, he allied himself with the political Left, he has a Nietzschean scorn of the masses, and seems never to have believed very strongly in the ability of the working class to recreate

Filner vouched for theft defendant
Removal of Children's Pool sign was free speech issue, mayor says
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner served as a witness on behalf of an activist for seals at the Children's Pool in La Jolla, criticizing his own police department for citing the defendant and the city attorney's office for prosecuting him.
The incident marked the second known time Filner as mayor has taken the unusual step of advocating on behalf of a defendant, the other being an alleged marijuana dealer facing 60 charges.
In the seal case, Filner testified in San Diego Superior Court for animal activist Bryan Pease, who was charged with petty theft after he was recorded on video removing a flag at the Children's Pool beach that declared the area "open" to the public.
For years, activists on behalf of seals there have favored limited human use of the area, especially during pupping season.
"It's a terrible prosecution," Filner told U-T Watchdog. "He is not a criminal. He's doing something, I would say, that's First Amendment kind of stuff and we're prosecuting him. It just doesn't make any sense."
After Filner's testimony, Pease pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor trespass. He must perform 40 hours of voluntary work service, stay 100 yards away from the Children's Pool and pay restitution. If he complies, Pease's charge will be dismissed in six months.
The city attorney's office called Filner's advocacy unusual.
"I've been around law enforcement throughout my career, about 20 years, and I've never seen it," Assistant City Attorney Paul Cooper said. "To have the mayor insert himself into an active criminal case in his capacity as mayor on behalf of the defendant is, obviously, a little bit troubling. Fortunately our prosecutors were able to successfully prosecute this individual in spite of what we feel was inappropriate interference by the mayor."
Was Bob Filner right to criticize the prosecution of Bryan Pease?
Yes 56% (1057)
No 44% (835)
1892 total votes.
Filner's testimony took place in April but did not come to light at the time.
According to a transcript obtained by the Watchdog, Filner told the prosecutor, "I think the problem was the people who are committing crimes were not the public but the public enforcement agencies including your office were not doing their job. And what Mr. Pease did is bring attention of the public that the laws that are in existence were not being enforced."
Pease is a member of the Animal Rights Protection League and has long been at odds with groups such as the Friends of the Children's Pool, which advocates human use of the pool, originally created in the 1930s for family swimming.
On Jan. 8, police say, Pease walked down to the beach at Children's Pool and removed a twenty-foot tall 'open' flag — the kind typically seen in front of apartment buildings — that was planted close to the edge of the Children's Pool. Pease walked on the beach with the flag and threw the flag over a fence by a condemned lifeguard tower.
The sign was owned by David Pierce, a member of the Friends of the Children's Pool. Pierce later had to climb over the fence to retrieve his property, according to records.
Pease readily admits to removing the flag and, in fact, had a friend take video of the removal.
"I did it," he said. "I documented it. I wasn't denying I did any of this. I just didn't think that what I was doing was illegal."
Pease said he asked Filner earlier this year if the mayor would speak on his behalf and said his plea bargain amounted to an extremely light sentence — something he credits Filner for.
"It could have just been a coincidence they decided to essentially drop it after his testimony," Pease said. "But the fact is, when the head of the executive branch of city government determined the posting of these signs in the public right of way was illegal, it was going to be next to impossible for the city attorney's office to successfully prosecute me for removing them."

Good product for lots of equipment.
By BT Video
from Phoenix, AZ
Best Uses
I am using this product for a single DSLR with two lenses, a shotgun mic, 2 lapel mics and some small audio recording equipment. All the small equipment and camera fits nicely in the main body with a bit more room for expansion. The front pockets are a good size but I would have liked them to be a little deeper to accommodate some long audio cables. Overall a good, quality bag with lots of room.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is an extremely user friendly backpack. It is easy to access my camera and lenses without a problem. The only drawback is that two of my lenses are a little longer than the depth of the backpack so I had to reformat the back to lie the lenses down. Other than that its great.

This is an excellent bag my only issue could be whether it holds up. It is a lightweight backopack for my DSLR shooting assignments and I shoot several events a day almost 6 days a week. My concern is whether it will hold up for an extended length of time at least a year. So far it has taken the daily abuse and has held up fantasticly but time will tell.

As the saying goes, two is better than one. When it comes to LAQA & Co.'s fat lip pencils, we couldn't agree more. After all, these gloss-delivering pencils require no sharpener and give lips a vibrant sheen. Luckily, the company recently released the pencils in the form of a travel-friendly duo. The smooth shea-butter complex moisturizes and coats lips with saturated, glossy color, in two high-energy shades.
loved the color but hated the wear! the lambchop color was a super bright pink which is not usually a color i go for but it was a fun change of pace. until i realized the color faded within the hour and somehow got everywhere! on my teeth, cheeks, pants, even bedspread (how'd that happen?!). not a lipstick for an active day, unless you want to get it on everything. luckily it washes out fairly well.2
I hardly ever wear lip color, like never...I have thin lips and just don't know what do with it. When I got the really bright pink shade in my Birchbox I was a little freaked out, but I decided to give it a shot. The pencil goes on SO smooth, but completely covering my lips in this bright pink made me look a little clown-like. I found rubbing it in to my lips with my fingers allowed me to control the boldness of the color then I topped it with a nude lip balm. Birchbox may have turned me into a lip color girl :) Overall, goes on great and stays on!4

Chateau Briand holds free prom for LBHS seniors
Catering facility donated event to students reeling from Sandy
1 2 3 Next page >
"Once students heard that the prom wouldn't cost anything, more people were willing to come," said Elyse Stark, a graduating senior and member of the Long Beach High School prom committee.
Though Long Beach schools reopened just two weeks after Hurricane Sandy, the storm threatened to disrupt this year's senior prom, which was ultimately held on June 20 at Chateau Briand in Carle Place.
For the past seven years, Long Beach High School has held its senior prom at Chateau Briand, but the event was nearly scrapped after Sandy as students and their families, including many who were displaced and dealing with damaged homes, contended with the aftermath of the storm.
Earlier this year, the LBHS prom committee polled seniors about their plans to attend the prom, and the results indicated that attendance would be lower than usual due to the financial effects the storm caused.
After receiving the survey results, teacher and prom advisor Adriane Glassberg called Joe Mandaro, the executive director of corporate and special events at Chateau Briand, located at 440 Old Country Rd., to tell him that due to hardships caused by the storm, the school might not be able to make the guaranteed minimum number of attendees as specified in their contract.
Mandaro then met with owners Victor and Anthony Scotto, general manager Victor Scotto Jr. and controller Joe DiRico. They discussed the special situation the school was facing, their loyalty as clients, the ongoing stories of the cleanup and rebuilding of the area, and the overall financial and psychological hardships being endured by the people of Long Beach.
As a family-owned and run business, the Scotto Brothers wanted to ensure a memorable evening for every student in the senior class and decided to donate the prom, which was held on June 20, in what many described as a true "Cinderella" tale for this year's graduating class.
"We are proud to play a role in helping the students of Long Beach High School celebrate this special milestone, and to give them happy prom memories, in spite of all the recent hardships they have faced," Mandaro said.

Awsome angle and lighting for this shot. Nice shot. (where is this?)
Great composition and colors in this, and a good choice for a "main subject". I think it would have been better without people, but waiting isn't always an option and it's not very distracting.

Deals Reached to Sell Land for Flight 93 National Memorial in Somerset
Robbins, Richard, Tribune-Review/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Chris Williams had her doubts, but a last-minute deal to sell the land she and her husband own in Somerset County avoided the necessity of the government seizing it for the Flight 93 National Memorial.
Chris and Dale Williams and four other landowners had until Friday to strike a deal with the National Park Service for approximately 160 acres in the area where Flight 93 crashed after being hijacked by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001. The government vowed to take the land through eminent domain if the deadline was not met.
The Ruffsdale couple's six-acre property includes a log cabin, which the family used for weekend retreats.
"We got not quite 70 percent of what we wanted," said Chris Williams.
She said negotiations on Wednesday went better than expected.
"I couldn't believe it," Williams said. "I went in apprehensive. We're pleased."
The government also reached an agreement with Tim Lambert of Aliquippa, who also owns six acres near the crash site.
Lambert, a radio newsman in Harrisburg, said he reached "an unofficial agreement" with the government Thursday.
Lambert owns 163 of the 2,200 acres the national memorial park eventually will encompass. He said the remaining 157 acres he owns will be purchased by the Families of Flight 93.
Lambert said the deal on the six acres he owns closest to the crash site was never in doubt because he always intended to donate the land. He will donate the proceeds from the sale to the family group for the memorial, he said.
Lambert said the Park Service offer on the six acres was "very generous." He added he probably "left money on the table" with the other acreage, but that was fine.
Lambert said he's glad the matter has finally been thrashed out. …

Guyana swamped by Canada 10-0
Guyana women hockey players went down to tournament favourites Canada 10-0 suffering their second defeat in as many days at round one in the World League at the Natonal Hockey Centre in Tarcarigua in Trinidad. The Canadians led 3-0 at half time. No individual scorers were available.
The Guyana had suffered a 5-0 defeat against CAC champion and host Trinidad and Tobago in their opening match Sunday and have now conceded 15 goals in two games.
Canada have now scored 22 goals in their two encounter and look set to come out winners of the tournament with the only threats being Trinidad and Tobago and Uraguay.
Guyana's coach Philip Fernandes said he was pleased with the team's performance against the Trinidadians.
He said four of the five goals came from set plays by their opponents.
Fernandes said the team held its own for the first ten minutes of play before the Trinidadians scored their first goal in comments after Sunday's encounter..
The Guyanese now play Uruguay in their next match tomorrow at 11;00 hours before meeting with Barbados on Thursday and Venezuela on Saturday.
Guyana went down to Uruguay when they last met in the final of the Pan American Challenge in Brazil two years ago.
They face an uphill task to be among the top three teams advancing to the second round of the World Cup qualification series.
The six teams are competing in a round robin tournament leading up to the World Cup in 2014 in Netherlands.

At 160 plus tax these are a very easy pass. In Connecticut, the last two color ways of this Jordan went on sale for 129.00. If these sell out people are just buying to be down with whatever. Wack shoe for this price if it was 120 I'd cop
February 29, 2012 BY John Kim / 33
Yesterday, Sneaker News confirmed the release date for the Air Jordan XIV Retro in the White/Varsity Red-Black colorway, bringing to light the thought of Michael wearing these during the 1998-1999 NBA Season in a hypothetical non-retirement scenario. Unfortunately, we never get to see MJ rock the Ferrari XIVs (these were, in fact, designed after Michael's favorite sports car), but it still holds as much clout as any other in the legacy. Last seen in stores in 2005, the Air Jordan XIV in the 'Home' get-up returns next Saturday, and these official images should be a nice buttering-up of what should be the marquee Air Jordan release of the month. Peep the images below and let us know if you have plans on replenishing your XIV stash with this latest Retro release. Can't wait? They're available right now on eBay.

At 160 plus tax these are a very easy pass. In Connecticut, the last two color ways of this Jordan went on sale for 129.00. If these sell out people are just buying to be down with whatever. Wack shoe for this price if it was 120 I'd cop
The last shots seemed to be an after thought, bcuz erbody was hype rightfully so about the Concords... I was able to grab the last shots outta footlocker the same day the Concords released... These will prolly sell quicker since they're not competing with any other release as hype as the Concords
not gonna waste my money on any XIV's with a white bottom cus it jus looks nasty after that first or second wear and you cant clean them good enough to makem look good again I still got the white pacific blue lows wore them a few times and it was lights out...not worth the dough thats jus my opinion though But they do look nice before wearing
ThEse dropped in Manila in january, have my pair in the closet. I guess we are luckier!
^^^^I agree Jer.
Thats why i like the official pics bcuz the early pics have that wrinkle and bent leather. These look fresh as hell
its funny how these are so hype now 5 years ago i saw pairs go for like 180 now people going in like 250 wtf
glad to see these back..glad the shoe game back. Say what you want or thumb me down but da golden era was 1988 to 2002 when mike was playing. Shoe game was dead after but they had a buzz in 06 and the cdps was terrible! 300 for one shoe worth copping and I know there was a few exceptions but the game finally came back in 09 and wonder how long it will stay. Imma cop all the releases this year and most next next year then semi retire to only cop the 23rd anniversaries up to the 14s#the game has been good to me! Oh yea the 1s and 2s trash. Just because they related doesn't mean they can't be ugly! Lol
Good pick up for a walking shoe. Nothing i would keep dead or try to sell. Just a good sneaker to wear with some dope jeans and a tee
these came out a couple of months ago in the philippines, they've been sitting in the shelves since
I still have my 06 retros at my moms crib, no need for these. But they did a nice job on these though.
so much nicer then the last shots
so much nicer then the last shots
I hope these sit so I can cop em for cheap, but I guess u never know with all this hype surrounding every jordan or fomaposite release even lebrons. lol.
My absolute favorite XIV colorway. There were plently of nice OG and retro colorways, but the white/red/black is just my favorite.
No disrespect to how anyone feels, but these are not worth the 160 + tax. In my opinion.
im str8 with my last shots... ill just wait on the playoff 12's
I hope these release in South Africa......... need a pair.
yes cant wait iwill camp out for these bad babies.....
Yessssssss....... Finally:-D
These are very clean. Hopefully I can buy a pair since I missed the "Last Shots" last year. Those are slightly better IMO.
Probably my fav 2 clean CW
i don't think any of these retros are actually WORTH 160 + tax
no tax in jersey kiddd !
The 2005's were 150
Fuck u
Where do you stay at? They still have quite a few left around where I live
Oh really? I live out in Virginia. Where are you at?

I stay in Fl and they still in stores here but extrabutterny a store in new york has them still and at retail still for 160
U both have the same name :0 but either way yeah i seen some leftovers of the last shots 2 just look around

Occupational Employment Projections to 2012: Employment in Professional and Related and in Service Occupations Are Expected to Increase the Fastest and Add the Most Jobs from 2002 to 2012, While Office and Administrative Support Occupations Should Grow about Half as Fast as the Total; Production Occupations Should Grow Very Slowly
Hecker, Daniel E., Frank, David S., Monthly Labor Review
Total employment is projected to increase by 21.3 million jobs over the 2002-12 period, rising to 165.3 million, according to the latest projections of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (1) This increase represents about 600,000 more jobs than were added over the previous 10-year period (1992-2002). The projected 14.8-percent increase, however, is less than the 16.8-percent increase of the previous 10-year period. Self employment is projected to decline 2.3 percent, from 11.5 to 11.2 million.
This article discusses a number of aspects of the projections along with related information:
* changes in the structure of employment at the major occupational group level;
* the detailed occupations (2) that are projected to grow fastest as well as those with the largest numerical increases and decreases, along with their current educational and training requirements and earnings; and
* the total job openings projected to occur due to growth in the economy and the net replacement needs resulting from workers who leave the labor force or transfer to other occupations
In this article, projected employment is analyzed from two perspectives--percent change and numerical change--because one can be large and the other small, depending on the size of employment in the base year. The following example using data for two occupations generally requiring the same level of education--a bachelor's degree--illustrates the importance of viewing job outlook from both perspectives:
Employment of environmental engineers is projected to grow twice as fast as employment of accountants and auditors over the 2002-12 period, 38.2 percent, compared with 19.5 percent. However, the accountants and auditors occupation is projected to add more than 11 times the number of new jobs (205,000 compared with 18,000), because employment was so much larger than for environmental engineers in 2002 (1,055,000 compared with 47,000).
Major occupational groups
Among the major occupational groups, employment in the two largest in 2002--professional and related occupations and service occupations--will increase the fastest and add the most jobs from 2002 to 2012. (See table 1.) These major groups, which are on opposite ends of the educational attainment and earnings spectrum, are expected to provide more than half of the total job growth from 2002 to 2012. Employment is projected to grow about as fast as overall employment in management, business, and financial occupations and in construction and extraction occupations. Employment in installation, maintenance, and repair; transportation and material moving; and sales and related occupations will grow somewhat more slowly. The three slowest growing groups--all with rates less than 7 percent--are office and administrative support occupations; farming, fishing, and forestry occupations; and production occupations.
As a result of the different growth rates among the major occupational groups, the occupational distribution of total employment will change somewhat by the year 2012, but the relative ranking of the groups by employment size is not expected to change. Professional and related occupations will continue to rank first, while farming, fishing, and forestry occupations will continue to rank last. Professional and related and service occupations will significantly increase their relative share of employment--by 1.5 and 0.9 percentage points, respectively. However, office and administrative support occupations and production occupations should decrease significantly--by 1.2 and 0.8 points, respectively. (See table 1.)
The growth of occupational groups (and occupations) is determined, in large part, by growth in industries in which they are concentrated. For example, professional occupations are projected to grow the fastest, in large part because they are concentrated in some fast-growing industries such as healthcare and social assistance; and professional, scientific, and technical services; while production occupations are projected to grow very slowly, largely because 7 out of 10 are in the declining manufacturing sector. …

Although he is bringing up a valid issue that should be talked about, Western Washington University President Bruce Shepard has been employing tone-deaf rhetoric that only obfuscates the discussion about race and education.
In a convocation speech, referring to the racial makeup of the 15,000-student university in Bellingham, Shepard said, "If in decades ahead, we are as white as we are today, we will have failed as a university." On the university's website, he posed the question, "How do we make sure that in future years we are not as white as we are today?" Shepard, who is white, later explained, "I needed to provoke some attention. It's really important to understand the issue facing all of American higher education and that is, our country is changing."
Yes, by all means, when you do something unknowingly foolish, employ the "I was being knowingly provocative" defense. And Shepard certainly provoked attention.
The Washington Times, a conservative newspaper based in the nation's capital, ran the story of his remarks under the headline, "University: Help, our campus is too white." A conservative website reported that WWU sent out a questionnaire seeking advice for diversifying its campus, running the story under the headline: "White is not right: Campus admins ask for help weeding out white people." Of course, that's not what Shepard was talking about. But when it comes to discussions of race in this country, dignity and decorum are fleeting at best. Which points out the problem with Shepard's indelicate remarks.
Western Washington's student body is 55 percent female. Would he have suggested that the university will be a "failure" if it doesn't boost its male population? What about Latino students, many of whom self-identify as white? Do they count? As The (Tacoma) News Tribune wrote editorially: "Defining the problem as a potential overabundance of white students shows appalling tone-deafness — not to mention tactical stupidity — in a state whose citizens are overwhelmingly white." According to 2013 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, 82 percent of Washington residents are white; in Whatcom County, home of WWU, that number is 88 percent.
In the past, rhetoric such as Shepard's has led to a backlash against affirmative action in many corners of the country. In 1998, Washington voters approved — with 58 percent of the vote — Initiative 200, which reads, "The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting." In other words, consideration of race is illegal at Washington's state colleges.
If Shepard had focused on the need for students of all backgrounds to have access to a good high school education and the means to attend college, he would have advanced the discussion. If he had stressed the importance of Western Washington being viewed as an option by students from throughout the state, he would have advanced the discussion. Our educational system will be a success when all students have avenues for achieving their full potential.
Instead, Shepard engaged in demeaning rhetoric that causes meaningful discussion to be lost in the cacophony of outrage. He employed incendiary language that obscured whatever point he thought he was making. Because of that, his remarks come across as insulting rather than provocative.

Travel Nurses: It's flu season. Have you had your flu shot yet?
Last year, hospitals required travel nurses to receive the H1N1 flu vaccine in the form of a shot or nasal spray. Now hospitals are strongly encouraging you to get vaccinated again, in preparation for the 2010/2011 flu season; you can read about this year's flu strain, its symptoms and tips on how to prevent catching the virus at flufacts.com.
Flu season begins in October and lasts until May, with outbreaks of influenza peaking in the coldest winter months of December and January; fact: did you know that December 5-11 is National Influenza vaccination week? The Center for Disease Control (CDC) advocates getting vaccinated early. You can browse CDC's "What you need to Know" facts about this year's flu strain and 2010/2011 vaccinations, which also protect against H1N1 (swine flu) this year.
Travel nurses at American Traveler enjoy healthcare insurance benefits and should take advantage of that full coverage by getting vaccinated ASAP! Plug your current zip code into Take Care Clinics or your nearest pharmacy, where most insurance covers cost. Advise your friends and family that even without insurance, the price of a flu shot runs about $30—a small price to pay when you are guarding against the influenza virus, which factors into an average of 36,000 deaths a year in the United States.
Travel nurses, doctors and patients alike, this is your call to do the right thing. Get your flu shot today!


text: Posted December 10, 2012 oh you want more? ok The tax would be levied once at the final retail sale for personal consumption on new goods and services. Purchases of used items, exports and business-to-business intermediate business transactions would not be taxed. Also excluded are investments, such as purchases of stock, corporate mergers and acquisitions and capital investments. Savings and education tuition expenses would be exempt as they would be considered an investment (rather than final consumption).[51] yeah this totally wasn't developed by and for the rich nope no way btw i think it's fuging hilarious when dumbshit libertarians have the gall to not only advocate for the "fair"tax, but to also call people stupid for pointing out its many flaws Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oklahoma school associations oppose Barresi
The leaders of two groups representing Oklahoma school administrators and suburban school districts are voicing their opposition to Republican state schools Superintendent Janet Barresi.
The directors of the Cooperative Council for Oklahoma School Administration and the United Suburban Schools Association released a joint statement Thursday declaring "no confidence" in Barresi.
Barresi campaign manager Robyn Matthews says it's no surprise Barresi's reform efforts are being opposed by those who Matthews says are "guarding their own kingdoms."
Barresi was elected during a Republican sweep of state offices in 2010, but has had a rocky first term that included highly publicized clashes with the state school board and resistance from local superintendents over several GOP-led education initiatives.
Two other Republicans and four Democrats also are running for the seat.
