Happy birthday to legendary singer, actor and occasional dancer, Mr Frank Sinatra (DecemMay 14, 1998) □□□ The voice would have turned 103 today! □ This is how I like Ol' Blue Eyes best: stylishly dressed in a suit and tie combined with his iconic trilby and ready for his next recording at the famous Capitol Records studio on the corner of Hollywood and Vine. There is an old French nursery rhyme that says people with blue eyes go to heaven and people with green eyes go somewhere significantly hotter - let's hope it's just a story for all the sake of all the non-blues! Blue eyes are genetically rarer, so those lucky enough to have them have developed a competitive edge in order to survive. Scientists believe that this is due to their evolutionary roots. People with blue eyes are said to be more egocentric, competitive and sceptical than those with brown eyes. Is There A Link Between Blue Eyes & Personality? Keep that in mind next time you're introducing your blue-eyed mate to a new activity! Berkeley University conducted a study with both brown eyed and blue eyed children, and found that the blue eyed children grew tired of trying news things quicker than the brown eyed children.Studies have suggested that people with blue eyes are better strategic thinkers, and are more likely to succeed academically than their brown eyed counterparts.Maybe there is some truth to the urban myth that women with blue-eyes handle childbirth better than others! According to a study conducted at the University of Pittsburgh, light-eyed women tend to handle pain better than women with dark eyes.If your pupil is surrounded by a sea of blue, then scientists believe that you're a descendant of this Mesolithic man. The man had both the dark-skinned genes of Stone Age people found in Africa, but was more closely related to our Scandinavian friends in Europe. The well-preserved remains of the man, found in modern day north-west Spain, has lead scientists to believe that he is earliest person to be found with the gene mutation that results in blue eyes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Why are we so obsessed with blue eyes and what makes their colour so special? It turns out that if your iris is a shade of blue, you share a gene mutation with a Stone Age man from the Mesolithic period.

In closing arguments at the retrial, prosecutor Truc Do called Spector "a very dangerous man" who "has a history of playing Russian roulette with women - six women. Jurors deadlocked 10-2 in favor of conviction. Spector was also charged with second-degree murder in that trial. After deliberating 15 days, jurors told Fidler that they were unable to reach a verdict.

DA: Who buys shoes and then commits suicide?.Spector defense: Suicide is a possibility."The taking of an innocent human life, it doesn't get any more serious than that." "This was not an isolated incident," Fidler said, noting Spector's two previous firearm-related convictions from the 1970s. Watch the lawyers give their views of the verdict » Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler declined to allow Spector to remain free on bail pending sentencing, citing Spector's years-long "pattern of violence" involving firearms. "We don't believe justice was done," Weinberg said. But defense attorney Doron Weinberg said Spector's defense team disagreed and planned to appeal. Prosecutor Alan Jackson said he believed the jury reached the correct verdict, and he acknowledged the strength and backing of Clarkson's family. ![]() Now 69, he faces a sentence of 18 years to life in prison when he is sentenced May 29.Īsked if he agreed to the sentencing date, Spector quietly answered, "Yes."

![]() Nike has often said that Jordan was fined $5,000 per game for wearing the black and red Air Jordan 1 on court, a fine that the brand gladly paid. Nonetheless, there’ve been a few cases of revisionist history ever since, depending on which banned marketing campaign you point to. umbrella – is earning escalating revenues of more than $2.3 billion annually. More than 30 years later, the Jordan Brand – within the Nike Inc. The Air Jordan line, of course, took on a life of its own and rode the trajectory of Jordan’s star power throughout his dominant Hall of Fame career. The company later launched a series of commercials that censored Jordan’s black and red sneakers, and it worked to perfection as kids rushed to purchase the then-$65 basketball shoe. Naturally, as it has done so expertly throughout the years, Nike took advantage of the opportunity and framed an entire marketing campaign around the league’s rules. “This will confirm and verify that the NBA’s rules and procedures prohibited the wearing of certain red and black Nike basketball shoes by Chicago Bulls player Michael Jordan on or around October 18th, 1984.” “In accordance with our conversations,” Granik wrote in the memo to Nike. “The league said, ‘Well, we’ve gotta stop that.'” “I felt like I wanted to be different,” Jordan said. ![]() 18 game, catching the attention of the league office and prompting a stern letter from then-NBA executive vice president Russ Granik to enforce its “uniformity rule.” It was the strikingly similar Air Ship prototype that was worn during that infamous Oct. While marketing lore would tell you the Air Jordan 1 was the barrier-breaking sneaker that “brought color to the game,” the debut signature shoe was actually still being finalized at the time. He’d later jokingly describe the black and red shoes as having “devil colors.” Rather than go along with the tame white and red sneakers that his fellow Bulls took to the court, Jordan donned a black and red edition of the Nike Air Ship for his sixth preseason game, a marquee exhibition matchup at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks. “It’s like a young kid, when your parents say you can’t do something, you want to do it,” Jordan explained in a recent promotional video.

Players also have as many as 20 “moment games” throughout the season in which they can break out themed or special-edition shoes for celebratory holidays such as Halloween and St. Of course, players today can wear sneakers loosely based on their uniform colors, regardless of what their teammates wear. The rule was finally lifted in the late 2000s. NBA policy mandated that each player “must wear shoes that not only matched their uniforms, but matched the shoes worn by their teammates.” That policy led to the “51 percent rule” – shoes had to be 51 percent white and in accordance with what the rest of the team was wearing.
