“Being a sports store and not having Nike jerseys is kind of like being a milk store without milk or a gas station without gas." |
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo — A sporting goods store in Colorado will close up shop months after the store's owner boycotted Nike products, CBS Denver reports. |
In September 2018 the owner of Prime Time Sports, in Colorado Springs, took issue with a Nike advertisement featuring Colin Kaepernick. |
That in turn sparked large outcry from thousands like Martin. |
Martin decided to sell all of his Nike product at highly-discounted prices, despite him acknowledging Nike merchandise makes up 40-50 percent of the store’s inventory. |
“Being a sports store and not having Nike jerseys is kind of like being a milk store without milk or a gas station without gas. They have a virtual monopoly on jerseys. There is no other option,” Martin told the CBS affiliate in Colorado Springs, KKTV. |
"As much as I hate to admit this," Martin told KOAA-TV on Monday, "perhaps there are more Brandon Marshall and Colin Kaepernick supporters out there than I realized." |
He added the Christmas shopping season helped, but not enough. |
Kaepernick is the former NFL quarterback who started kneeling during the National Anthem before football games in 2016, sparking a movement among other NFL players, including Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall. |

White Rose stars: Yorkshire's Inzamam Ul-Haq and Michael Vaughan. |
Edgar Oldroyd, former Yorkshire batsman, watching the cricket at Headingley. |
Not everyone who has played for Yorkshire CCC, of course, has met his end in such gruesome circumstances, with or without the involvement of a train. |
But the names of Messrs Hunt and Bolton, among myriad others, names now long-forgotten in the Yorkshire cricketing circles in which they once moved, are happily perpetuated in a new book entitled Who’s Who of The Yorkshire County Cricket Club by Paul Dyson, which gives brief portraits of all who have represented the Wh... |
From the alphabetical span of Alfred Ackroyd to Yuvraj Singh, and from the chronological stretch of Isaac Hodgson in 1863 to Kraigg Brathwaite in 2017, it profiles the 670 men at the time of writing who had represented the club in first-class cricket, limited overs games or T20 matches, as well as the 59 who had played... |
That figure has now risen to 675 following the appearances last summer of Jeet Raval, Josh Poysden, Mat Pillans, James Logan and Jordan Thompson, with the history of Yorkshire CCC an ever-evolving tapestry of tragedy, triumph and everything in between. |
Whether the cricketers in question played in 883 games, such as the club’s record appearance holder, Wilfred Rhodes, or on just a solitary occasion, which applies to 115 of the players listed, each is afforded their own special place. |
It is a history in which Dyson is steeped as the author of several Yorkshire cricket books, sometimes in tandem with the equally excellent Mick Pope, to which he has added another tour de force of study and research. |
The real joy and value of this book, though, certainly to those of us who are reasonably cognisant of Yorkshire’s history and its greatest players, is not so much the lustrous names listed, the likes of Rhodes, Hirst, Trueman and Boycott, but the relatively minor names brought back into the light. |
Occasionally, an entry leaves you yearning to know a bit more, if only the space or scope permitted. |
Even for those of us who have written about Yorkshire CCC for many years, there are some “you-learn-something-new-everyday moments”. |
I must confess, for instance, that I had no idea that Eleanor Oldroyd, the BBC sports presenter, is the great-granddaughter of Edgar Oldroyd, one of the finest Yorkshire batsmen never to play Test cricket. |
Oldroyd, who represented the club from 1910-1931, made the No 3 position his own behind the celebrated opening pair of Percy Holmes and Herbert Sutcliffe. |
The book, to which the Yorkshire director of cricket Martyn Moxon provides a fine forward, also contains some resonant remarks. |
So, the thanks of Yorkshire cricket followers must go to Paul Dyson, along with Mick Pope (who came up with the concept and provided much of the research), for a volume that does justice to the considerable extent of the challenge presented. |
Who’s Who of The Yorkshire County Cricket Club by Paul Dyson is published by Great Northern Books, priced £19.99. |
In early December, tens of millions of people around the globe, including here in Vietnam, came together to learn basic programming skills in the Hour of Code, a global movement spanning over 180 countries. |
Nearly 40 million people have participated in the Hour of Code since the program began last year, some of them taught by industry luminaries like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates. |
Events surrounding the Hour of Code took place December 8-14, coinciding with Computer Science Education week. Vietnam had 26 different hosts, ranging from universities and high schools to private corporations. However, only two of the participating high schools were local schools under the Department of Education. The... |
But don’t be too concerned about the lack of participation from public secondary schools. In fact, the rest of the world is really only catching up to Vietnam, whose public schools are known for introducing computer science into the curriculum at a very early age. |
But the supply of computer science grads in Vietnam is not keeping up with demand. Attracting new students who wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to science and technology is a major emphasis for those trying to grow the talent pool. |
Engineers from Intel and educators from Everest Education working with student teams in the Young Makers Challenge. |
Addressing a private audience in downtown Ho Chi Minh City last month, Scott Farquhar, co-founder of Atlassian, explained to the tech-heavy crowd why he and his partners chose to open a development office in Vietnam. |
After reviewing potential partners around the globe, Atlassian settled on a partnership with Pyramid Consulting in Vietnam. With a current in-country headcount of 150, Atlassian aims to double that number in 2015. |
Vietnam’s software development industry is already highly competitive for talent, and outsourcing companies aren’t the only groups seeking top engineering grads. |
Companies like Intel, Samsung, and LG have invested billions in the country’s electronics manufacturing industry, shifting plant production to Vietnam, where wages are more competitive. This has given rise to an electronics export industry that, while still relatively nascent, generated $38 billion in export turnover i... |
Vietnam’s master plan is for the information technology sector to contribute 8-10 percent of GDP by 2020. Coinciding with this goal, the country will need a total of 411,000 trained information technology workers by 2018. A report cited by Bloomberg indicated that the nation has only 250,000 today. |
Heredia and Arizona State University are strong proponents of developing the talent pipeline in Vietnam and have established the Higher Engineering Education Alliance Program (HEEAP) in partnership with United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Intel. The alliance has been joined by other companies... |
For Intel, HEEAP is only one component of a multifaceted investment in Vietnam’s education system. The chipmaker has granted scholarships to Vietnamese university students to study engineering in the U.S and also sponsors K-12 initiatives involving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), such as the Y... |
That program was established with Everest Education, a private education center in Ho Chi Minh City founded by Vietnamese Americans. The Center of Science and Technology Development at the Youth Union, a STEM oriented governmental agency, is also an organizer. |
“This is an exciting opportunity for Vietnamese students, as they will be introduced to cutting-edge technology and joining a community of development enthusiasts around the world,” according to Don Le, CEO of Everest Education. “We hope to identify and inspire Vietnam’s next generation of inventors,” he added. |
Other cutting-edge educational initiatives include the Innovation Partnership Programme (IPP), financed by the governments of Vietnam and Finland. The €7 million program is aimed at building a more robust ecosystem for innovation in Vietnam, with a strong focus on educational partnerships. |
Local students need help. Industry critics have claimed that Vietnamese students pick up fairly quickly on hard skills but blame the country’s “chalk and talk” education system for a lack of critical thinking and teamwork experiences. Says Michael Le, founder of Somotsoft and one of the pioneering investors in Vietnam’... |
The Hour of Code may help spawn a new generation of computer science advocates in Vietnam. However, to properly nurture the country’s next generation of engineers, there will need to be a considerable amount of investment into education at both the secondary and tertiary levels. Vietnam's many STEM initiatives are stil... |
Tesla on Monday reached a milestone of producing 5,000 units of its Model 3 electric sedans in a week. The breakthrough is critical to Tesla chief executive officer (CEO) Elon Musk's goal of bringing electric cars to the masses. |
Self-driving tech may ruin Tesla's Model S? |
Much of the endless stream of chatter surrounding Tesla lately has centred around topics other than what the company actually sells. Tesla’s plans to slash 9 per cent of its workforce have featured prominently, as has the dating life of its founder, Elon Musk. |
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has taken part in a wildlife experiment, helping biologists get skin samples from an endangered gray whale. |
Putin, who is currently visiting the Far Eastern region of Kamchatka, joined the team of marine biologists at the Kronotsky Nature Preserve, where the nearly-extinct mammals have recently been observed. |
Despite the poor weather conditions and the rough water, a motor boat carrying the wetsuit-clad team went to sea in search of gray whales. After a group of whales was detected, the Prime Minister shot a sample-taking dart at one of the animals with a crossbow. |
The skin sample taken from the whale will allow researchers to identify where the animal came from and which population it belongs to. |
Putin is well-known for his interest in wildlife and animals in general. Two years ago, while visiting the Ussuri national park in the Far East, he helped biologists sedate an Amur tiger and put a GPS collar on its neck. The current location of the animal can now be monitored via a special page on the Prime Minister’s ... |
In 2009, after the encounter with the tiger, which received a lot of attention in the media, for his birthday in October Putin received a tiger cub, which he named Mashenka and handed over to a zoo. |
The Prime Minister also has several rather conventional pets, including Koni the black labrador and a mini-horse called Vadik. |

The PricewaterhouseCoopers MoneyTree report lists two deals totaling $2.7 million, compared with three deals totaling $6 million in the first quarter. |
The latest PricewaterhouseCoopers MoneyTree report on venture capital investment in Maine shows two deals involving a total cash investment of $2.7 million in the second quarter. |
The largest deal was for a seafood company in Auburn called Cheating Gourmet Foods, which received a venture capital investment of $2.2 million from Arbel Growth Partners of Milwaukee, according to the report issued Thursday. |
The other deal involved a Biddeford company called Junora LTD that produces advanced metallurgical products for the vacuum coating industry, which uses vacuum conditions to deposit thin coatings on various materials. Junora received $500,000 of venture capital from Brunswick-based CEI Ventures, the report said. |
CEI Ventures said it also made a $100,000 investment in geographic information systems firm NBT Solutions LLC of Portland in the second quarter, which was not included in the MoneyTree report. |
According to the report, venture capital investment in Maine was down from the first quarter, during which there were three deals totaling $6 million. |

TheStreet Ratings rates Radio One as a sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow, generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and generally high debt management risk. |
Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $5.14 million or 70.74% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower. |
The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 25.19 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Despite the company's weak debt-to-equity ratio, the company has managed to keep a very strong quick ratio of 2.66, which shows the abi... |
ROIA's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 61.81%, which is also worse than the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's ... |
