The Store With the Golden Sneakers

At Guiseppe Zanotti, footwear is an excellent place to sport precious metal.

Footwear is athletic or a fashion accessory.
Men's work boots may be an exception.
I have not found a pair designed for work for several years.
I have probably been looking in the wrong places.

Black Murder Rates

A criminologist writes that while African-American progress in life expectancy is encouraging, black homicide rates are not at all.

Hopeless several ways.
The second amendment is a failure.

‘Jane the Virgin’ Season 2, Episode 21: Birthday Party Woes

Jane just wants to give Mateo a nice party for his first birthday.

The Upshot

Nicotine without the bad stuff is the promise. But the new devices can push people toward conventional cigarettes, as well as away from them.

It is not important.  Tobacco is never safe.

The decision for a district attorney to turn the case over to the attorney general also means that a grand jury’s prior finding has also been set aside.

The result is probably known.

The cop gets a few more weeks before trial.
