Russian Protesters Break Out Their Walking Shoes

Posted on May 17, 2012 by admin

In the wake of Vladimir Putin’s surreal inauguration as president of Russia, both protesters and police are struggling to figure out what their new rules of engagement should be.

The violent clashes of May 6 have given way to a more peaceful form of protest: the demonstrative stroll. Last week, anti-corruption blogger Alexei Navalny took a few hundred supporters on a “walk” along Moscow’s downtown boulevards. Since the walk was not officially sanctioned, participants refrained from carrying signs or shouting slogans. They simply wore white ribbons to symbolize their anti-Putin views.

Authorities, in a knee-jerk reaction, stopped the march numerous times and randomly selected participants to be driven in paddy wagons to police stations in remote parts of town. It soon became a badge of honor for protesters to ride at least once in a police van. Some people, including Navalny, managed to get picked up as many as four times in the 72 hours that the sporadic “walks” lasted. Others willingly lined up to be detained. Almost the entire editorial staff of the magazine Bolshoi Gorod (Big City) scored a ride, posting sarcastic tweets as they were driven to the outskirts of the Russian capital.

Svetlana Reyter, writing for Bolshoi Gorod, captured the spirit of the game: “A simple thought crossed my mind: What the hell? We are not carrying a single placard nor shouting anything. What is this cowboys and Indians thing?” She wrote. “At 6 am I’m walking an empty Tverskaya Street, cleared for the Victory Day parade. Catch me if you can.”

Most of those detained were released in a matter of hours. Navalny and Sergei Udaltsov, one of the organizers of the May 6 march, received harsher punishment in the form of 15 days’ detention for “resisting police.”

Not to be deterred, protesters shifted to the model of Occupy Wall Street, setting up an impromptu camp in a small park around the statue of Abai Kunanbayev, the national poet of Kazakhstan. It was soon known by the Twitter hash-tag # occupyabai. Putin’s administration and police, apparently exhausted and frustrated by all the walking, left the camp alone. It soon became a magnet for 1,000 to 1,500 mostly young people singing songs to the accompaniment of guitars, playing badminton and engaging in political discussions. Residents banned alcohol and policed ​​themselves to prevent violent incidents. Garbage collection and food delivery was organized. Local homeless zoomed in on the area, drawn to the free sandwiches.

Olga Kryshtanovskaya, a sociologist with close ties to the Putin establishment, visited the Abai camp to do a preliminary study. She found the campers to be young and highly educated: Their average age was 31, and 66 percent had a college degree. “People who have joined the protest action are hyper-communicative, “Kryshtanovskaya wrote.” For such people Occupyabai is a breath fresh air, a feast of human interaction. “According to her impromptu poll, 90 percent of those present would join other protests if police dispersed the camp.

Sole Central brings independent shoe store to South Main Street

Posted on May 11, 2012 by admin

When the Fall River resident decided to open her own business, the logical choice was a shoe store.

“This has been like a dream,” said Costa, who along with her husband, Antonio, opened Sole Central at 229 S. Main St. this week. The new business is located at the former site of Silva’s Specialty Print Shop. Silva’s relocated to 48 Columbia St. in November.

Costa has been a stay-at-home mom for the past four years but has extensive retail experience. She spent 12 years as the general manager of a restaurant and also spent time as a customer service manager at Lowe’s. She and her husband decided they wanted to open a small business together, and Costa kept coming back to the idea of opening a shoe store.

“Everybody loves shoes,” Costa said. “Especially girls.”

Costa said they began leasing the property in February, and it took 90 days to spruce up the location and get the shoes in stock. Sole Central offers both women’s and men’s shoes, ranging from sneakers and business casual to dressy in namebrands like Avia, Dansko, Rockport, Steve Madden, Dockers and Bass. They also are selling designer handbags from companies like Hobo and JPK Paris that range in price from $50 to $300, along with jewelry and other accessories.

“We’re working on getting names women are more familiar with,” Costa said.

Sole Central is also hoping to cater to older customers that are seeking comfortable footwear by offering brands like LifeStride and Naturalizer. The owners held a free breakfast at Borden Place recently to introduce themselves to their new neighbors and drum up interest in the business. They handed out questionnaires asking what types of products the residents would like to see at their location. To accommodate seniors who are on a fixed income, Costa plans on offering store credit.

“There hasn’t been a shoe store on South Main Street for 30 years,” Costa said. “The feedback has been great. They are happy to see us.”

Costa currently has five part-time employees that serve as sales associates. She would like to hire a few more.

“We’re pretty flexible with the hours,” Costa said. “As long as they have retail experience, we’d be willing to hire them for two shifts a week.”

Your second-hand clothes are sold in Africa

Posted on May 10, 2012 by admin

Today, there are more ways than ever to get rid of your unwanted clothes. However, no matter which option you choose, the balance of your cast iron in general will eventually be in a group of experts or textile merchants in the hands – mainly small family-run enterprises, like myself, who have professional knowledge and expertise to find any family .

Rag and bone man a few years ago something to the money from the goldfish, today’s clothing stores, eBay, textile banks in almost every one in the nationwide recycling sites and reach your letter, and cast weigh box through the exchange of charity bags of cash take this role. Then, there are charity shops. From the tranquility of the local British Heart Foundation, they naturally want to increase how much money possible for their cause. But, as Mary Portas few years ago, to ensure that run shop profits are not eaten, only the best contributions, sold in shops. The rest are multibillion-dollar global market for sale.

This market in the early 1980s, Africa is in its center. The explosion of the highest population of mainland China in the past 30 years, all of these people need clothes. British clothing of high quality, fashionable, in the end, the charity shops to sell unnecessary to donate clothes and cloth merchants, which means more money for a good cause of charity. These cloth merchants will sort, in order to meet customer needs in Africa. Once clothes pack in Africa (or 55 kilograms or 45 kilograms – about 550 per container, for a total of 25 tons) sold to the market stall. Them to further organize clothes – washing, ironing, packing some of the items sold in shops, and other items on the sales pitch, or re-sold to the small village of the tourism market services.

For some industries, the exploitation, but I’m very proud of my business of textile recycling efforts. We are not the oil companies do corrupt government incentives to buy a country’s natural resources, is not sold to children breathing toxic gases to remove the old computer; This is a family business doing the business of the other family business to ensure that urgently needed by those who want it customers can purchase the clothing. We are helping to do any extra clothes, 2009, Forestry and Rural Affairs said that 900,000 tons annually to landfill, in order to solve the problem.

Our company is also involved from 30 years ago, many of our customers, we know that they allow them to set up business profits – such as banks, gas stations and tourist hotels. The only study in Kenya also found in second-hand clothing industry to create more than 5 million jobs and supporting the work. This is not surprising when you consider the clear container to create jobs, unload their stall and change clothes tailor, to pay rent to the owners, accountants, tax collector officials. One of our newest clients, as a 15-year-old who fled Rwanda. Now, living in England, obtained a degree, and after working for Microsoft, he has decided to return to Africa to make a difference, not just his family, but his skills and knowledge to pass on to the next generation.

Byrne’s successor has big shoes

Posted on May 9, 2012 by admin

Those who helped push Bill Byrne into an early retirement better hire a darn good replacement as athletic director or they’ll become part of the problem, not the solution.

There’s much to debate about Byrne’s legacy in nine seasons at Texas A&M. He accomplished plenty — 46 Big 12 championships, 17 national championships, and unparalleled growth in facilities and fan support. But there were drawbacks, especially the 58-54 record in football.

A&M, though, is no longer about Byrne, it’s about who will replace him. He — or she — better be a world-beater with things in Aggieland getting better. Or why even make the change?

A&M is about to embark on the most critical decade in the athletic department’s history as it enters the Southeastern Conference. The opportunities are enormous as A&M has a chance to redefine itself in the country’s best league, but only if Aggies have their house in order.

A&M has spent the last 16 years in the Big 12 trying to keep pace with Texas and Oklahoma, which have two of the most respected ADs in the country in DeLoss Dodds and Oklahoma’s Joe Castiglione. Well, the SEC is better from top to bottom, led by Florida’s Jeremy Foley, Alabama’s Mal Moore and LSU’s Joe Alleva, but this is the big leagues of college sports, where ADs hire Steve Spurrier and John Calipari. They’re all great at what they do. Arkansas AD Jeff Long gained a lot of notoriety recently for canning football coach Bobby Petrino over his inappropriate relationship with Jessica Donnell.

SEC’s best ADs shoot from the hip and seldom miss, which pretty much was Byrne’s approach. He had great success in part because he had power and wasn’t afraid to use it.

But it’s no secret that Byrne didn’t think joining the SEC would be a good move — at least initially. Then on the record he did say all the right things, but apparently the damage was done. Byrne no longer was running the department, which was obvious by the insensitive firing of former football coach Mike Sherman and the hiring of Kevin Sumlin, who was the choice of A&M President R. Bowen Loftin and A&M System Regent Jim Wilson.

“I’m coming up on 30 years as an AD, and I’ve had a modicum of success in my career,” Byrne told the Austin American-Statesman’s Kirk Bohls before the last UT-A&M football game. “If people want me here, I will stay. If they don’t, all they need to do is give me a signal, and I will quietly disappear.”

County Still Has a Shoe-Repair Shop

Posted on May 7, 2012 by admin

Her father, Charles Young, started the business in 1920. Upon his death in 1982, Coldwell, who worked summers in the shop growing up, took on the daily operation of Young’s Shoe Repair.

“I never thought of running the shop by myself, but my mother wanted to keep it going,” Coldwell said.

Since her mother’s death in 1987, Coldwell has continued to operate the small, one-person shop on Mechanic Street.
Coldwell repairs each shoe by hand, using many of the machines and tools her father used. To this day, she still uses a shoe jack her grandfather invented and patented decades ago in Millville.

Though many of today’s shoes are made to be disposable, the rows of shoes in Coldwell’s shop demonstrate that there are still people who repair their shoes—and that there is still a place for craftsmanship and family traditions.

Her grandson-in-law, Bill, hopes to learn the trade from Coldwell and keep the family tradition going.
Coldwell learned her trade from her father and through trial and error.

“I made a lot of mistakes after Dad died,” she said.

A friend taught her how to do stitching, and she expanded into other specialties such as zipper repair, repairing Uggs, leather gadgets, horse blankets, and many other things. Her skills and attention to detail have earned Coldwell a following.

“I have a lot of regular customers,” she said. “Some summer visitors save their shoes at home and bring them down in the summer.”

Brittany McCord, Bill’s daughter, will be the fifth generation of the Young Family.

Plenty of closer changes happening around majors

Posted on May 7, 2012 by admin

There’s a reason you don’t go all out trying to get saves in drafts or auctions. Things can fluctuate wildly and before you know it, there are a number of closers or potential closers waiting on the wire to be had.

The biggest news of the week occurred on Thursday when Mariano Rivera tore his ACL shagging fly balls prior to game against the host Kansas City Royals. Rivera had always been a model of consistency, rarely getting hurt or missing games. Now he’ll likely miss the remainder of the regular season and may never throw off a mound again.

Rivera was the second closer off the board according to Yahoo! draft analysis, with an average draft position of 64.7 (good for the 6th round in average Yahoo! leagues). So if you jumped to get him early, convincing yourself that it was worth burning an early pick on the most consistent closer of all-time, sorry but you’re out of luck.

The good news is the Yankees have a ready-made replacement in David Robertson. The right-hander has yet to give up a run this season and has 18 strikeouts in 11 innings, and opponents are hitting just .179 against him. Theoretically, the Yankees could turn to Rafael Soriano since he has experience closing in the past and are paying him a hefty salary. But realistically, with Robertson pitching so well coupled with the fact he’s likely the heir apparent anyway, why not let him get some on-the-job training right now.

In Chicago, the White Sox have decided to move Chris Sale back into the bullpen and into the closer role despite Sale having pitched well out of the rotation to this point (3-1, 2.81 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 29 Ks). Given how long it took rookie manager Robin Ventura to commit to Hector Santiago in the first place, it’s not surprising he decided to make a change.

Obviously, Sale is the pitcher to pick up for now, but keep an eye on the South Siders to see if Ventura decides to go in another direction again.

The White Sox aren’t even the only team in Chicago looking to find a new closer, either, as Carlos Marmol has lost his grip on the ninth inning role for Theo Epstein’s Cubs.
