Commentary: Immigration: You Can't Test For Drive And Ambition
Huddled masses, beware. Americans are fed up not only with illegal immigrants but with legal ones, too. As Congress revs up the immigration debate again, some would-be reformers are pressing for an overhaul of U.S. admissions criteria. They want to cut down on the number of newcomers to the U.S. on family-unification visas by creating a point system that measures applicants' potential for contributing to the economy. The criteria: education, job skills, and English-language abilities.
At first blush, skills-based admission sounds appealing. After all, today's high-tech economy is a far cry from the turn of the century, when immigrants helped build the nation by manning assembly lines, constructing railroads, and toiling in the mines. These days, the U.S. needs highly trained workers to fuel a globally competitive, knowledge-based economy. "We could create a hundred Silicon Valleys in the U.S. if we had a smarter immigration policy," says Stephen Moore of the libertarian Cato Institute.
Using a similar argument, Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.), chairman of the Senate subcommittee on immigration, plans to introduce a bill this summer that would establish a point system in the U.S. It would mimic procedures employed by two of the world's largest immigrant nations, Canada and Australia, which admit about half of their newcomers using the point system.
ETHNIC SCREENING? But in the U.S., such wholesale change is unnecessary. Today's immigrants aren't lacking skills and education, as detractors claim: By some measures, they're better equipped than U.S. natives. Besides, negotiating the measurements used to gauge potential success in America would hardly be a politically tenable process.
More important, the motivation for skills-based reform seems to have less to do with worries about the employability of newcomers than with their potential for cultural assimilation. "Family reunification has overwhelmed our system," complains Simpson. "We have people in the U.S. without English skills, who don't come out of their enclave."
If the reformers were truly indifferent to national origin, they would address such concerns through programs that encourage Americanization, such as special English classes, rather than screening out non-English-speakers at the door. Says Cecilia Munoz, an immigration advocate at the National Council of La Raza: "In some circles, a skills-based system is a proxy for white vs. non-white immigrants."
Economic concerns don't hold much water either. True, about 80% of legal U.S. immigrants now come on family-reunification visas, and 87% come from Latin America and Asia. But family-based immigrants aren't necessarily unskilled. An Urban Institute study, which screened out newcomers from such countries as Mexico and El Salvador because they deliver the most illegal aliens and refugees, found that 74% of remaining adult legal immigrants had high school diplomas, vs. 77% of those born in the U.S. Some 33% had college degrees, vs. 20% of native-born Americans.
ENTREPRENEURS. Despite the hand-wringing about unassimilable masses, moreover, the evidence shows that today's immigrants aren't so parochial. The 1990 census found only 28% of immigrants arriving that year lived in households where no adults spoke fluent English. And although immigrants start with lower earnings, their median wage growth measured at 6.7% in 1988, compared with 4.4% for workers born in the U.S., according to a study by economists Harriet Orcutt Duleep and Mark C. Regets.
Immigrants still appear to be bringing the immeasurable traits needed for success in the U.S.: drive and ambition. Entrepreneurship rates run as high as 18% for Korean Americans and 15% for Greek Americans. Overall, the 7.2% self-employment rate among immigrants edges the 7% rate for the U.S.-born. "I'm not sure we could hit upon the right proxies for [such ambition] in a point system," says New York University sociologist Guillermina Jasso. Rather, as long as the U.S. can continue to attract highly motivated newcomers who will work hard to reshape themselves into Americans, the nation will gain from their presence--no matter where they come from.

Every Friday, Reprise's best and brightest meet to discuss the week's top industry news. It's a meeting that sometimes ends in laughter, sometimes end in tears, but always ends with interesting insights, insights we've decided to share with you, dear reader. This week we discuss the future of search and social media, no big whoop or anything.
Eric Schmmidt on the Future of Search- A Move Towards a "Serendipity Engine"
Google says that in their effort to "give people their time back" they will move to make more personalized search results. Accordingly marketers will target individuals instead of demographics. We thought had pros and cons. While it might be helpful to have highly specific ads targeted to you, ultimately it could be very limiting because we use search for so many things. Ruth wondered if using search to buy a fishing rod for her brother for Christmas means she would be served fishing ads. In addition to getting incorrectly pigeon holed, we all agreed that this type of could search could lead to a "sameness" in the search experience. The example that came up was food and restaurants. Just because you entered "Mexican restaurants" in a search doesn't mean that you want subsequent searches for food to surface Mexican restaurants. We agreed that this narrowing might require advertisers to work harder to make sure that they can be found in searches.
Twitter, Facebook, and Social Activism
We talked about how social media is being used for social activism. We agreed that while social media can definitely increase the visibility of a cause, that doesn't necessarily mean that more people will become active for it. Social media can allow fair weather fans to jump on the bandwagon or make people feel like they've contributed just by "liking" something instead of actively taking part. Ultimately, these problems are just growing pains as a new form of media attempts to define its place in society.
The Future of Search Engines if Paid Search is Given More Importance than Organic Search
Is paid search given more importance that organic? Well, we'd say yes given that paid is more profit driven. Google Instant seems to continue that trend, as we've noticed that generic keywords are going up in price, and paying for those terms will become a necessity to stay in the top results of the page. That said, organic results are still incredibly important as social media can help a brand improve its organic results and cover the results page. Regardless of whether paid or organic is more important, we all agreed that gone are the days of "search engine equality", when smaller companies could appear in the results next to big corporations.

Elena Ford, Ford's chief of global marketing, was driving along Woodward near Nine Mile with her 11-year-old son in the backseat. According to WDIV, police stopped her when her company-issued 2011 Ford Explorer jumped onto the median and then re-entered traffic.
(The PR spin? At least the 2011 Explorer is agile enough to handle sudden changes in driving terrain. The bad PR to come? Obviously an executive at a company that promotes safe driving not...safely driving. Somewhere, marketing executives at Chrysler are cheering.)
Ford's attorney tells The Detroit News that she will make a statement at a later time. Ford, 44, also faces child endangerment charges.
Ford last made headlines when the company decided to axe the Mercury brand, where she once held an executive position.
Per a Ford newsletter about female executives at the company, Ford has three other children. She was named head of global marketing in 2009.
"We have to be extremely organized in our house. We spend a lot of time
figuring out schedules and calendars and things like that," she said. "I
think it's a level playing field, though, because just as much as
ladies are here late, the gentlemen are here late too, and everyone has
something to do after work."

Moments after several gunshots sounded Tuesday at Charleston's Martin Park, a teen wearing latex gloves jumped in a friend's waiting car and proclaimed "I got him," authorities said.
Charleston police raced to the area and found 22-year-old Rhakym Capers lying face-down in a baseball dugout in the park with several gunshot wounds at 3:50 p.m., not far from where a group of frightened children had been swimming in a city pool.
Capers died a short time later at Medical University Hospital, making him the second person slain in his family this year. His older brother, Antonio McCullough, was gunned down in North Charleston in March, their mother said.
As officers swarmed the area around Martin Park, a witness came forward and told them of a man he'd seen running from the crime scene and jumping into a white car that sped off. The witness provided a description of the vehicle and a partial tag number, police said, and officers stopped a matching car a short time later.
From there, arrest affidavits said, the scene played out this way:
A passenger in the car took off running, leaving 17-year-old Kareem McPherson of Grove Street behind the wheel. Investigators questioned McPherson, who named Sequoia McKinnon, 17, of North Charleston as the passenger who bolted.
McPherson also told them that he had driven McKinnon to Aiken and Line streets a short time earlier and that his friend had set off on foot from there. Gunshots boomed and McKinnon came back running, with gloves on his hands, and jumped in the car, ordering McPherson to take off, McPherson told police.
As they sped away, McPherson stated, his friend made a phone call and said, "I got him Unc. I got him."
McPherson also told police he saw McKinnon holding a silver-colored firearm before he bolted from the car.
Investigators charged McPherson with murder and failure to stop for blue lights. He is being held without bail in the Cannon Detention Center.
Warrants for murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime have been issued for McKinnon, who remained at large Wednesday night, police spokesman Charles Francis said.
Neither teen has a prior criminal record in South Carolina, according to State Law Enforcement Division records.
McPherson's Facebook page has several photos of him posing with bundles of cash and flashing hand signals. One photo also shows a wad of bills next to what looks like small bags of marijuana.
Dressed in a striped jail jumpsuit, McPherson appeared more subdued during a bail hearing Wednesday in which he said nothing of note.
The victim, Capers, was well-known to police and had a criminal record dating back five years. He had been convicted of crack and powder cocaine possession, crack cocaine distribution and giving false information to police. He also had pending charges of marijuana possession, failure to stop for blue lights, driving under suspension, failure to appear in court and credit card theft, according to SLED records.
Outside bond court, Capers' mother expressed anger over his killing and the unsolved slaying of his brother in March. She admonished the killers for taking her sons' lives "like dirty dogs" and demanded that police find all of the men responsible for the two deaths. She also questioned whether the two killings were connected.
McCullough, 25, was shot to death ambush-style while he was on his way to visit an acquaintance at about 10 p.m. March 20. Authorities said McCullough was jumped by two men who emerged from the end of Wales Court in Collins Park Villas and opened fire. Like his younger brother, he was found face-down and died a short time later.
Investigators are working to determine if there is any link between the two homicides.
Anyone with information on the killings can call Crime Stoppers at 554-1111.
Rhakym Capers, 22, of Charleston, was shot to death in Martin Park on Charleston's Jackson Street on Tuesday.×

Teams: Berkeley Springs Indians at Moorefield Yellow Jackets
Time: 7:30 p.m. today at Moorefield High School
Records: Berkeley Springs 0-5; Moorefield 2-3
Coaches: Angelo Luvara, Berkeley Springs; Josh See, Moorefield
Offenses: Berkeley Springs, Pro-I; Moorefield, No huddle
Defenses: Berkeley Springs, 4-3; Moorefield, 4-4
Last year: Moorefield won 53-14
Players to watch: Berkeley Springs - QB Mark Cowles; WR Kaleb Athey; LB Austin Tyser; DB Preston Hovermale; Moorefield - QB Adam Snyder; WR DaShawn Brown; FB Mike Pultz; DE Lance Taylor
MOOREFIELD - Berkeley Springs had possibly its best chance to win last week against Southern Garrett, Md., who, like the Indians, came into the game winless.
However, Berkeley Springs came up short, falling to 0-5 on the year.
Things don't get any easier for the Indians as they face a Moorefield team that has dropped two straight games and will be looking to bounce back big at home. Two weeks ago, the Yellow Jackets lost bad, 44-13, to Tucker County and then fell 28-13 to Warren County, Va., last week.
The Indians played one of their better games offensively, as they put up their second-highest point total of the season against the Rams. However, a few turnovers and a couple of stalled drives, on unsuccessful fourth-down attempts, left Berkeley Springs just short.
The Indians had a handful of bright spots in the game, among them a long scoring drive in the second quarter where quarterback Mark Cowles connected on two key pass plays. The other was on defense, where Berkeley Springs forced a fumble and had Kaleb Athey return it 75 yards for the touchdown.
Defensively, the Indians struggled against Southern Garrett's run game, despite the Rams running on all but one play. Berkeley Springs allowed starting running back Garrett Campbell 189 yards on the ground.
Moorefield will most certainly try to run on the Indians, but the Yellow Jackets have a strong passing game, led by senior quarterback Adam Snyder. Tight end Lance Taylor could be a prime target.
Taylor is also the leader of Moorefield defense that is giving up 36 points a game. The Yellow Jackets should fare well against a stagnant Berkeley Springs offense that is averaging just 10 points a game. Moorefield's defense has been a work in progress after the Jackets switched to a 4-4 set this year.

College celebrates life of Dean and CEO Emeritus Frederick Gaige
Known to many as a visionary leader, Gaige served as Dean and CEO of Penn State Berks from 1984-2001, helping to transform the campus into a college with four-year academic programs and residence halls. He was also instrumental in significantly increasing student enrollment, endowment, and physical facilities.
The event will begin with reflections on Gaige's contributions from community members and former Penn State Berks colleagues and students, as well as a discussion of Gaige's scholarship in Nepal. The second half of the program will feature a presentation by Nancy Dorrier, President of Dorrier Underwood, executive consultant, futurist, and speaker on transformation, who will deliver a talk titled "Envisioning Our Future."
During the sixteen years Gaige served as dean and CEO, the campus had expanded from 1,000 students in four major buildings on 135 acres of land to 2,100 students in seven major buildings and thirteen smaller structures on 240 acres of land.
Gaige was a noted scholar in the field of South Asian studies and became an early expert on Nepal, where he did research on a Fulbright Fellowship from 1966-1968. His research culminated in the publication of Regionalism and National Unity in Nepal. He returned to Nepal as a Fulbright Lecturer in 1983 and, in 1991, he served as a consultant to the Asia Foundation and U.S. Agency for International Development on the first democratic elections in Nepal.
A community activist who volunteered with numerous organizations, Gaige was one of the leaders of the successful effort to change the Reading city charter (Reading Citizens for Effective Government). He was also elected as a board member of the Reading School District and he was an appointed member of the Berks County Planning Commission.
He also served as a member of the board of directors of The Reading Hospital and Medical Center, Police Athletic League, Hispanic Center, and many other organizations.
Gaige earned his doctoral degree in South Asian studies from the University of Pennsylvania in 1970, a master's degree in history from Brown University in 1963, and a bachelor's degree in history from Oberlin College in 1959.
He is survived by his wife, Austra, and their two daughters, Karina A. Gaige and Amity W. Gaige and their families.

i had a dream that my dad had cancer and was dying but in real life he doesnt have cancer at all ??
10 thoughts on "what does it mean when you dream about someone dying with cancer?"
It's a dream… Dream's don't happen.
i heard when you see someone dying in your dream, it means they are going to live longer..
dreams dont mean anything
its your brain makin shit up
could just be a dream. Could be that your a medium. take him to the doctors. its most likely just a dream though
To dream that you have cancer, denotes hopelessness, grief, self-pity, and unforgiveness. You feel you are wasting your life away. This dream also represents areas in your life which are bothering you, disturbing you, and hurting you in some emotional way.�
To dream that you are being treated for cancer, signifies a positive change in your life.
To dream that someone has cancer, indicates that you need to change your negative way of thinking before it creates a cancer in you. Start being more positive.
To dream that someone is a Cancer, symbolizes your tendency to keep and hold on to everything. You hold a lot of power and influence. The Cancer sign also indicates that you tend to be moody and emotional.
in my culture death means a wedding or birth 🙂 i know the opposite x)
i have no idea but i had a dream that my bff michel died with cancer i was scared to death it sucked but i feel ur pain…………….
it probably means nothing… like i had a dream i was eaten by a snake at the zoo but that most likely wont happen
I would say that dreams usally don't happen but my dad had a dream about a really bad storm and in the dream a tree had fallen and hit our house he had this dream 4 nights in a row sure enogh a tree fall and hit our house some times dream can be a sign for something in the future or they can be a flash back of your family history that you weren't around to see….but if i were you I would tell my dad about it and ask to check on it just to much sure
It does not mean when you dream of someone having cancer that he will have cancer in real life. He might have some very difficult unsolved problem in the past. From now on, this knotty problem would be automatically solved soon.

Soul-searching in focus as GOP gathers in N.C.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Republican soul-searching begins in earnest this week as GOP officials from every state in the nation come together for the first time since their party's shellacking in November.
There is broad agreement that the Republican Party needs to undergo fundamental changes to remain competitive as surging minority populations reshape the American electorate. But there is no clear path forward. And even as they gather in a Charlotte, N.C., hotel this week -- just days after President Barack Obama began his second term -- Republicans are in some ways as divided as ever.
Facing his first re-election test later in the week, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is under intense pressure to improve the Republican brand to attract more women and Hispanics, while not upsetting the hard-line conservatives who represent his party's most passionate voters.
"They're really going to have to do full throttle self-examination. They have alienated so many people who are Republicans," said Olympia Snowe, a three-term Republican senator who retired in 2012, in part because of her party's shift to the right. "It's going to be a mighty challenge. The party's gone astray."
Indeed, the formal theme of the Republican National Committee's winter meeting -- "Renew, Grow, Win" -- reflects an understanding from party officials that the GOP must grow to survive.

An Edmond soldier convicted of unpremeditated murder for killing an unarmed Iraqi detainee wants a new trial.
The attorney for Michael Behenna has filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court. Behenna's attorney said his conviction should be overturned because Army prosecutors overlooked details given by a crime scene expert.
The expert said the victim tried to reach for Behenna's handgun before Behenna shot him. He is currently serving a 15 year sentence in a military prison in Kansas.

A NEW website has been launched to try to tackle voter apathy ahead of Scottish elections by providing information and debate about candidates.
Academics from Edinburgh University have designed www.holyrood2007.net, which goes live this week.
Voters can use it to find out background about people standing in their areas or discuss issues of the day. Among other things there will be a 100-second video of every candidate.
All visitors to the site have to do is enter their postcode and they will be able to view all those standing in their constituency.
They will then be able to log on to a media centre, forums, blogs and questionnaires, a learning centre, and a daily poll.
Navraj Singh Ghaleigh, lecturer in public law at the University of Edinburgh, said: "It has been well documented that interest in the political process is declining with more and more people losing the will to engage with the democratic process and actually get out and vote.
"The ultimate goal of this project is to rekindle that interest via web technology. You could call it e-democracy.
"Here, people can find out information about all the candidates and their policies online and take part in the debate - all at one website.
"We see it having particular applications with getting younger people more involved with politics and the election process. It will also benefit those in more rural areas, such as the Highlands and Islands where would-be voters may lack the opportunities to engage in direct debate with the politicians making the decisions that affect their lives."

National Numismatic Collection
The National Numismatic Collection (NNC) of the Smithsonian Institution is one of the largest numismatic collections in the world and the largest in North America. With over 1.6 millioin objects, the NNC contains many great rarities in coins and currency, from the earliest coins created 2,700 years ago up to the latest innovations in electronic monetary exchange, as well as fascinating objects such as beads, wampum, dentalia, and other commodities once used as money.
The collection emphasizes the development of money and medals in the United States. The core of the U.S. collection, consisting of more than 18,000 items, including coins of great rarity, came to the Smithsonian in 1923 from the United States Mint. Exceptional rarities include the Brasher half doubloon, the 1849 double eagle (first of the gold 20 dollar pieces), and two 1877 fifty dollar patterns. Other rarities are include the 1913 Liberty head nickel as well as all three types of the 1804 dollar, and two of three known examples of the world's most valuable coin, the 1933 double eagle, the third of which recently sold for 7.6 million dollars. Learn more about the collection.
Below you will find a selection of over 350 objects from the collection. We are working to expand and improve online access to additional objects in the near future, so stay tuned.

Portrait Medal of James Smithson
- Description
- James Smithson was born in 1765, the illegitimate son of Sir Hugh Smithson, later known as Sir Hugh Percy, Baronet, 1st Duke of Northumberland, K.G., and Elizabeth Hungerford Keate. Elizabeth Keate had been married to James Macie, and so Smithson first bore the name of James Lewis Macie.
- His mother later married Mark Dickinson, by whom she had another son. When she died in 1800, he and his half-brother inherited a sizable estate. He changed his name at this time from Macie to Smithson. James Smithson died June 27, 1829, in Genoa, Italy. His will left his fortune to his nephew, son of his half-brother, but stipulated that if that nephew died without children (legitimate or illegitimate), the money should go "to the United States of America, to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men."
- The nephew, Henry Hungerford Dickinson, died without heirs in 1835, and Smithson's bequest was accepted in 1836 by the United States Congress. Smithson never visited the United States, and the reason for his generous bequest is unknown. But his gift was the foundation grant for the Smithsonian Institution.
- In 1817, while living in Genoa, Italy, Smithson commissioned a gifted Italian sculptor named Antonio Canova to create his portrait in the form of this medal. Smithson evidently approved of Canova's efforts: he scratched his name on the other, otherwise blank side of his medal. It is still visible today, very faint after the passage of nearly two centuries.

United States, Jefferson Indian Peace Medal, 1801
- Description
- United States Mint, Philadelphia. Obverse: Bust of Thomas Jefferson facing left. Reverse: Clasped hands, crossed peace pipe and hatchet above; PEACE/AND/FRIENDSHIP. This medal is hollow, consisting of two thin, embossed silver plates, one for each side of the medal. The two were held together by a silver ring, running around the entire circumference of the piece. The medal was created in this fashion because the United States Mint lacked a coining press strong enough to strike heavy, solid medals. This medal accompanied Lewis and Clark on their epochal journey West.

Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Medal, 1905
- Description
- Theodore Roosevelt met sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens in the 1890s, when T.R. was an aspiring young politician, and Saint-Gaudens was establishing a reputation as a brilliant artist. When Roosevelt was elected President in 1904 and needed an inaugural medal, he gave the commission to Saint-Gaudens after rejecting the standard, unmemorable medal typically produced for this occasion by the United States Mint.
- Saint-Gaudens's results shattered precedent. The piece was modern in all senses of the word. There was no attempt to beautify or romanticize the President's head on the obverse, yet the image clearly conveyed vision and power. The reverse was, if anything, even more groundbreaking. The magnificent, left-facing eagle epitomized authority and presence, while displaying a classical ancient style. (The same eagle is used on the Saint-Gaudens $10 in 1907). This bird unquestionably ruled all it surveyed.
- Saint-Gaudens's success with this medal convinced Roosevelt that the artist was the partner he needed to collaborate on a pet project: the redesign of America's money. Saint-Gaudens signed on, and the plotting began. But the potential for trouble hovered on the horizon: this medal had been struck, not by the United States Mint in Philadelphia, but by Tiffany & Company in New York. If the Mint hadn't produced Saint-Gaudens's medal, would it agree to produce any of his coins?

University t-shirts can market a college to the public just like using the internet. Important factors about the college are promptly forwarded when painted on attires. Details on the college are accessed easier and cheaper by just reading on the clothing. Constant interactions between different people make it easier for the spread of printed details. Designing clothing for campuses is the best way of advertising an institution.
Several programs may happen to be offered by a given college. Designing different attires for each degree option makes them familiar to many people. The attires are useful in stating how good a course is. Cloths also describe the merits of taking that course and the job opportunities available hence attract prospective students. Using printed college attires as a mode of promoting the learning institution reduces the cost of advertising.
Attires designed for higher institutions of learning may also be used to generate revenue for the college. Income is made by selling the t-shirts to students, lecturers, workers and society at large. Many people, though not students, like to be associated with higher learning institutions. Wearing the cloths of a college gives many people a sense of satisfaction that they are recognized with that higher institute.
Many student organizations are formed in institutions of higher learning. Christian bodies may come up with their set of clothing which would carry the message they want to send to the public. Muslim bodies, women organizations, engineering students may design their own fashion too. This helps in social and economic development of these organizations.
Students begging to be elected can print their manifestos on cloths. Having the manifestos on attires helps those seeking positions to gunner votes during voting periods in higher learning institutions. Sourcing for supporters using this mode of campaigning preserves resources as related to other methods of campaigning. Money to help rolling the vote hunting process can be raised by selling the cloths meant for gaining support.
Attires designed for higher institutions of learning acts as a crucial peace building tool. People with different ethnicity and varying social backgrounds are united by wearing similar cloths. Primarily, students are intended to possess a sense of comradeship which is boosted by the identification arrived at when in resembling clothing. This act as a useful tool in bringing people together and also it is important in promoting good coexistence among learners.
Discipline in colleges is pushed up by having similar attire. The need for proper dressing in colleges adds to the degree of misbehavior. Usage of similar clothing in institutions of higher learning would promote discipline and social order. Uniformed students are more disciplined as compared to learners who are not in matching cloths.
University t-shirts should be designed in different sizes and colors so as to meet the requirement of many students and the greater public. Utilization of a variety of fabrics is important so that the person to wear the attire can choose from cotton, linen, silk, wool and the rest. Selling price of the t-shirt may be determined by the textile used.
You can design University t-shirts online right now! Get more information about a reputable company that specializes in printing custom University t-shirts, today.

The rating on Saudi Telecom Co. (STC), the incumbent fixed-line and leading mobile telecommunications operator in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (AA-/Stable/A-1+), is based on the company's stand-alone credit profile, which Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assesses as 'a', as well as on our opinion that there is a "high" likelihood that the Saudi government would provide timely and sufficient extraordinary support to STC in an event of financial distress. The rating on STC is supported by its leading market position in the liberalized Saudi telecoms market, with a difficult-to-replicate national network, implicit state support, high operating profitability margins in its domestic market, and strong underlying cash flows. STC's financial policy remains conservative, as the company has used debt only...

Cicero, IL - "truck tires" search results
About Truck Tires
Most auto shops provide all accessories and auto parts for automobiles of different sizes and models. Truck tires are no exception and they too are available at many of these auto shops. The interesting thing about trucks is that their performance and longevity can be put in control by having good truck tires. This means that when you have a truck in your possession, it is always important to have the best tires for the truck because only then will the truck perform to its best. Most trucks have many tires and usually there are several spares that should be kept nearby. This is to solve the unexpected occurrences of tire problems which are a common thing especially for trucks that are on the road often. Many local truck tire shops will provide truck tires to similar to the ones you have previously had and this is the recommended thing to do. However, one might want to change the sizing or kind of tire which might make them veer off the course a little but at the end of it all still achieve the best performance and great look on their truck because of the tire. After using truck tires for a certain period of time, it is not uncommon for the tires to require retreading. There are many truck tires that are actually retreads. Retreads are simply tires that are originally worn but have been sort of upgraded and reconstructed to make them more useful and to make them last a little longer than usual. The advantage they have is that they are actually less costly than the original new ones therefore many local auto shops are sure enough to have them in supply all the time. In addition, retreading is a recommended thing especially for truck tires because they have an environmental friendly thing about them. This is simply because they actually re-use the old and used tires making it important not to discard the used tires.

Grady knocks Washington out of unbeaten ranks
By Hal Lamar
If you had asked Washington High School Head Football Coach Rodney Hackney on Friday, October 11 if lightning can strike twice in the same place and at the same time within two years , he would likely not disagree with you.
That is exactly what happened to his Bulldogs that night as they bowed to the Grady Greyknights, 28-14. The loss knocked BTW out of the undefeated ranks while the win pushes Grady into first place in The Atlanta Voice poll for city high school football.
The Greyknights' sparkplug was senior quarterback Isiah Jenkins. He rushed unofficially 18 times for 197 yards and scored all but one of the school's four touchdowns. All of his rushing yards and scores came on quarterback keepers which the Bulldogs were not able to defend.
" We knew they small upfront so we felt confident Isiah could run against them," said Grady Head Coach Ronnie Millen. "I'm very pleased with the win especially when you can defeat a team like Washington with its talent. I think we grew up as a team tonight."
Washington attempted to answer each Grady touchdown with one of its own but was successful only once in the first half to cut the deficit by seven. But then Grady returned to its quarterback keeper offense and led by 14 in the third period and 21 in the fourth. The Bulldogs did score at the 7:15 mark of the final quarter when senior back Antavis Rowe took a handoff at the 9 and raced 91 yards for a score. Rowe rushed 18 times for 175 yards and scored both BTW touchdowns.
In other city high school action, Douglass drops a 17-14 squeaker to Chapel Hill…BEST got by Jackson, 32-18... Banneker drowned South Atlanta, 58-12…Carver defeated Therrell, 40-6… Arabia Mountain shocked Mays, 32-29… and Southwest-DeKalb knocked off North Atlanta, 37-13.

Buzz off, Brooks Brothers. Get lost, Gucci. So long, Savile Row. When it comes to adorning the human male, the latest, the ultimate is Bijan, a Beverly Hills and Manhattan haberdashery that reeks of chic and shrieks of conspicuous overconsumption.
The shops are named for, run by and partly owned by Bijan Pakzad, 43, a wiry, wily Iranian. The Beverly Hills outlet is nestled among the other glittering boutiques on Rodeo Drive. The Manhattan store, which opened a month ago, is on Fifth Avenue on a site lately occupied by Gucci. Bijan operates on the theory that the more his merchandise costs, the more the big spenders will clamor for it. In addition, his door is closed to the unwashed public: The uniformed doorman will unlock it only for those who have appointments. And unless the patrons are prepared to lay down vast sums for his merchandise, Bijan isn't interested in their trade. "If someone comes in to buy a tie," he has said, "I don't consider him a customer." His silk neckties begin at $110.
Some potential customers might be put off by such snobbery, but it seems to pay off. Bijan won't disclose his annual profits but says the combined sales volume of his retail operation and product lines produced a $12 million to $13 million gross in 1983.
A sampling of his price list shows that Bijan does not rhyme with bargain. Egyptian cotton shirts retail for $350, alligator shoes for $1,800, mink-lined silk raincoats for $9,000 to $14,000, and suits start at $1,500. One customer special-ordered an $11,500 suit featuring 24-karat gold pinstripes. Bijan will add bulletproofing to his suits at no extra charge.
And then there are the accessories, or should we say, "excessories." The most expensive item is his $95,000, king-size chinchilla bedspread. Cheaper versions come in fox (starting at $37,000) and mink ($50,000). And there is the much-talked-about gun "for people who don't like guns." Bijan had it made up for a European king who was bored with "giving my friends Rolls-Royces." It is a .38 caliber Colt revolver with a cylinder of 24-karat gold inlay. The revolver is housed in a mink pouch and a Baccarat crystal case. It goes for $10,000 and fires real bullets.
And where does all this exotica come from? Bijan leases time at several European factories that manufacture his clothes. His suits, for example, are crafted at the D'Avenza factory in Carrara, Italy (a plant in which Bijan has a small interest). Though the factory sells to many other designers, Bijan's clothing is made to his own specifications. Twice a year Bijan or his agent comes to D'Avenza's Florence showroom to look over the clothes. Unlike Gucci and other D'Avenza clients who buy from the house collection, Bijan brings his own labels to sew into the garments produced for him. "I sell quality," boasts Bijan. "The quality of my stuff is 1,000 percent, not 100 percent good."
Bijan is reluctant to name his clientele, but it reportedly includes King Hussein, Roger Moore, Julio Iglesias and Jack Nicholson. Saudi Arabian billionaire Adnan Khashoggi blew more than $140,000 in a single shopping spree in 1982. The biggest single sale amounted to $220,000, paid by the head of a helicopter-manufacturing company, for a mink bedspread and 60 suits with accessories.
Bijan, whose father was a wealthy steel manufacturer (now retired) in pre-Khomeini Tehran, claims that he studied engineering in West Germany but hated it and took up designing clothes instead, beginning at a Tehran boutique owned by his family. He left Iran in 1959 or 1967 (Bijan has used both dates) to pursue his career in Europe and moved to California in 1971. Five years later he and Daryoush Mahboubi-Fardi, a fellow Iranian and nearly silent partner, opened the Beverly Hills boutique. "He's a talented artist," says Mahboubi. "He makes love to his business—He thinks, breathes, feels and touches his creations."
Bijan's private life is as extravagant as his shops. He lives with his daughter, Daniela, 22, a USC student, in a Bel Air, Calif. home that he says is worth $5 million (a real estate agent estimates $3 million tops), and ticks off the cars in his driveway: two Rolls-Royces, an As-ton-Martin, a Mercedes, a BMW. In Manhattan, he beds down in a Fifth Avenue penthouse. "I love clothes, women and cars, in that order," he says, admitting the pursuit of the first two led to his divorce from Daniela's mother, Sigi.
Bijan has an ego as big as the Ritz. "America made me a millionaire, support me so beautifully," he says in his idiosyncratic syntax, "but it's not only America. Forgive me if I say it was me that came to America. It was me that thought, 'If I introduce myself that way, the money will be there, and the recognization.' That was me that decided to make 'by appointment' or the gold gun or cosmetics for men and have the quality to be 1,000 percent. It was me that smelled America."

Speculating on Home Improvements

Journal of Financial Economics (JFE), Forthcoming
Economic Theory Center Working Paper No. 22-2011
We develop a speculation-based theory of home improvements. Housing services are produced from a mix of land and structures. Homeowners optimistic about future prices for these services speculate by making improvements, which we model as them increasing their structures holding fixed their land. The recoup value (the difference between the resale value of improvements and construction costs) is simultaneously increasing in home price appreciation and falls with construction cost growth. This prediction stands in contrast to a consumption-cum-financial constraints motive in which rising home prices loosen financial constraints and lead to lower recoup values. We provide evidence consistent with a speculative motive using data on the costs and recoup values of remodeling projects across U.S. cities.
