Air Jordan Force Fusion IV (4) - Varsity Red/Varsity Royal - Cement Pack
Even though many sneakerheads claim that they hate Fusions, a lot of you were losing your minds when you got that sneak peek of the Varsity Red/Cement Air Jordan Force Fusion IV a few months back. The shoe has a bold look with some classic Cement flavor, making a lot of folks wish that a version of the Air Jordan IV would drop in this colorway instead. As nice as that would be, this edition offers a very serviceable alternative. In addition to the Varsity Red colorway, there will also be a Varsity Royal version that uses the same color blocking and Cement Grey accents. The release info on these went quietly under the radar and now they have just hit Nikestore, so if you’re prepared to make a Fusion exception for these, you’d better scoop up a pair before they’re gone.

Sublime feat. Chip Tha Ripper – Pawn Shop (Remix)
Okay. Sooo heres the rundown...
The Cleveland Show is done... No Official Date yet, JUST BE READY!
On this track... Chip remade an old Sublime song called "Pawn Shop."
Chip put his own touch on it, not changing the original format of the song... it just so happens to have these nice gaps in between chorus' and Chip flipped it real nice.
I really hope u enjoy the song! He has a verse in the beginning & another verse at about the 2min mark...
Then he just fills in with his singing throughout the rest of the track.
Some CHILL music right here.

Major Record Companies and Apple Collaborate
Apple is working with the four largest record labels to stimulate digital sales of albums by bundling a new interactive booklet, sleeve notes and other interactive features with music downloads, in a move it hopes will change buying trends on its online iTunes store.
The talks come as Apple is separately racing to offer a portable, full-featured, tablet-sized computer in time for the Christmas shopping season, in what the entertainment industry hopes will be a new revolution. The device could be launched alongside the new content deals, including those aimed at stimulating sales of CD-length music, according to people briefed on the project.

Ohio State and Terrelle Pryor named Big Ten preseason favorites
Ohio State was picked by the media as the preseason favorite to win the Big Ten, getting the nod ahead of Penn State and Michigan State. Almost everyone sees the conference race coming down to the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions, though with their matchup in State College, I thought Penn State might be the more popular choice.
But it's the pick of Terrelle Pryor as the Big Ten preseason offensive player of the year that I found most surprising. Illinois receiver Arrelious Benn or Daryll Clark, the Penn State quarterback, were the two players I thought had a better shot than Pryor. Instead, the Big Ten Freshman of the Year is now expected to be the best offensive player in the conference. That won't be a shock if Pryor plays that well, I just didn't think everyone would assume it.

Cuyahoga County commissioners place government reform measure on the November ballot
**Now... Im not really sure about this 11-member county council, but I do know we need to get these JERKS out of there seats! Now... Dimora is going to JAIL, the Feds are on his ass... As for Hagan & Jones... They both said that they will NOT run of re-election when they're time is up... Sounds FISHY if you ask me??? Hagan came out of RETIREMENT to get elected & retire??? Doesn't make sense! I think the Feds are bringing EVERYONE down in the $40 million (Im sure that number will be adjusted by the time things are ALL figured out) county corruption! ITS ABOUT TIME TOO... There are TOO MANY people downtown that are ruining our city! I just hope Cuyohoga County residents realize it SOONER than LATER! These ASSHOLES are the reason why we can't get ANYTHING done in Cleveland... They can never AGREE on ANYTHING! They have RAN developers out of our city for years! TRUST ME PEOPLE... IF the FEDS are involved... these ASSHOLES did something wrong!**
CLEVELAND — Cuyahoga County's three commissioners voted unanimously this morning to place on the November ballot a government reform measure that, if approved, would eliminate their jobs.
Commissioners Tim Hagan and Peter Lawson Jones, who oppose the reform plan, also stated that they will not be seeking re-election in three years.
Jones said he voted to put the reform initiative on the ballot only to fulfill his legal duty.
"We feel the voters are entitled to a choice," he said.
Advocates for government reform, including county Prosecutor Bill Mason, collected more than 80,000 signatures to force their reform measure onto the ballot.
If approved, the measure would replace the three commissioners with an elected executive and 11-member county council.

Nike SB Dunk Low Pro - Team Red/Metallic Gold
Nike SB’s fall lineup is looking quite sharp. Be that as it may, there’s about a 100% chance that someone will say these are no good, which is roughly the same chance that someone will bemoan the lack of a puffy tongue on this latest release. The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro pictured above is clearly in its sample form (sans puffy tongue), but the colour scheme is still dope. These have a burgendy suede upper with a white leather toe and metallic gold leather Swoosh. The highlight here, of course, is the multicoloured pattern on the ankle collar and tongue that slightly resembles a pre-Coogi Bill Cosby sweater. These should drop soon stateside, but you can grab them today from EST Premium.

Senate narrowly rejects law on carrying concealed weapons
The Senate narrowly rejected a measure to allow people to carry concealed weapons from state to state Wednesday.
The vote was 58 to 39. The amendment needed 60 votes to pass.
The measure would have required each of the 48 states that allow concealed firearms to honor permits issued in other states.
It was the first significant defeat this year for the gun lobby.
The concealed weapons proposal was an amendment to a larger defense appropriations bill, introduced by Sen. John Thune, a South Dakota Republican.

Mikk had a whole slew of surprise guests last night including Truck North who came in from Philly, YP, Kamilah Sumner as well as Da Rock and Da G and the rest of the Uncrowned City camp. However, the powers that be pulled the plug, so a lot of the guest and Mikk didn't get their proper shine. People were pissed.

Air Jordan Girls’ Collection - Holiday ‘09
Yesterday, we gave you a preview of the Air Jordan Holiday ‘09 Boys releases, but as we all know, Jordans aren’t just for the boys. Jordan Brand is going all out to make sure that the girls have their very own fresh kicks to rock this winter with eight different sneakers in the Holiday collection for the little ladies. At first glance, it appears that the month of October will definitely have a colored theme, with the Air Jordan 1 Phat, Jordan 1 Flight and Flight 45 all adopting a Black/China Rose color scheme and the Sixty Plus sporting a similar White/China Rose/Black palette. Joining the pink installment of the roster will be some other colorways of the Jordan 1 Flight and the Flight 45, as well as two colorways of the super-high Flight 23 6-Inch. All eight models will hit stores between October and December, so keep reading for release details and a closer look at the Holiday ‘09 Air Jordan Girls collection.

Air Jordan 1 Phat Premier High. 60+ Collection. Atlanta Hawks. October ‘09
This shoe was a part of our Holiday ‘09 Air Jordan 1 preview and now we get a detailed look at the sneaker from various angles. As you can tell, this is the Atlanta Hawks installment of the 60+ series, paying tribute to Michael’s 61 point performance against Atlanta on April 16, 1987. The shoe sports a Black leather upper with splashes of Varsity Red on the tongue label, outsole and laces, as well as the carpet-like chenille Swoosh. Additional accents come by way of Varsity Maize contrast stitching on the upper and a Varsity Maize Jumpman logo on the tongue. These won’t be hitting stores until October, but you can check out some more pics after the jump in the meantime.

Nike SB Dunk Low Premium. Varsity Blue/Pink Ice. July Quickstrike

These have already arrived at select Nike SB dealers like Premier and will be hitting more stores any day now.

Gasoline-Huffing Man Bursts Into Flame After Being Tased
The man pretty immediately went up in flames, and the officer, recognizing that a man becomes significantly less dangerous once he's on fire, went to the suspect's aid, patting him all over (and getting burned himself) to quell the flames. While the officer tried to help the flammable man, he was hit by rocks thrown by a young woman also on the scene, also presumably high or stupid or both. Both the man and woman, as well as two others, were charged with sniffing a prohibited substance, and the young woman was charged with throwing rocks at a policeman.
