Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is ready to retire his new Yeezy 350 Boost cleats — unless Kanye West plans on footing the bill.
The Adidas athlete said at a Sept. 15 press conference that he refuses to wear them after he was fined $6,000 by the NFL for playing in the shoes on Sept. 11 during his team’s triumph over the Chicago Bears.
The new “Turtledove” spikes retail for $250, and quickly sold out on Adidas.com after they dropped on Sept. 15.
According to the policy: “Approved shoe styles will contain one team color, which must be the same for all players on a given team. A player may wear an unapproved standard football shoe style as long as the player tapes over the entire shoe to conform to his team’s selected dominant color.”
Still, the pricey footwear could make another appearance the next time Hopkins is in action — with one caveat. “Only if Kanye wants to pay the fine,” he said.
During the Week 1 games, Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson and Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins all wore the Yeezy 350 Boost cleats.
Last week, Hopkins was eager to hit the field in the shoes, writing on Instagram, “Next level. Thank you @adidasfballus and Kanye West.”
October is National Financial Planning Month – a time to be sure your family finances are organized and you have a plan in place to meet your financial goals. Although it is probably not the first thing that comes to mind, insurance is an important part of your financial plan. The very reason for insurance is to transfer your risk of financial liability to an insurer. To put it more plainly, insurance protects you and your family from a financial loss due to the loss of life or property.
Just as you might sit down with a financial advisor annually, or outline your family budget and savings, you should evaluate your insurance policy each year as part of your financial planning (Click to Tweet!). Below are some items to bear in mind when it comes to considering whether your insurance policy is still an accurate reflection of your needs.
Beyond just meeting the minimum requirement of notifying your insurance agent of a change of address, it’s important to discuss with your agent what a new home could mean for your overall financial picture. Are you taking a step up in terms of the mortgage and/or size of the home? Are you the primary earner for your household? Are the coverage amounts still appropriate for the new home, or for your current home after a structural change has been made? In looking at your finances, are the deductibles still appropriate?
The answers to these questions can dictate important financial decisions for you and your family. They also help to bring into focus your full financial picture, and can lead to other important financial decisions. Take, for example, the first two questions: (1) Are you taking a step up in terms of the mortgage? (2) Are you the primary earner for your household? If you’ve answered yes to both of these, then it may be important for you to look at your life-insurance coverages, in addition to your homeowner’s policy.
It’s not just about reporting new purchases and changes in your living arrangements to your agent to be sure they are covered (though that's certainly part of it); it’s also critical to understand what these changes mean to you and your family’s overall financial health.
If you’ve recently had a major life event, it’s probably a good time to see if you have the right insurance policies in place for those who depend on you (Click to Tweet!). There are many different life-insurance products on the market, which address a variety of financial needs and time horizons.
Maybe just as important as life insurance, is disability insurance. While most Americans depend on company-sponsored disability programs for issues that keep someone from working, often these programs do not sufficiently cover income loss. Particularly in a one-income family, replacing the breadwinner’s earnings is crucial to the family’s financial well being.
Your agent can walk you through the different products out there and which would be most affordable and beneficial for your family.
This question is similar in nature to item number one. First, it’s important to discuss these types of purchases to be sure you have the correct insurance products and coverages in place. But, it’s also important to understand how large purchases affect your entire financial picture. As your lifestyle changes, it’s essential to have the proper insurance in place to protect you and your family, and to be sure your loved ones can maintain the lifestyle in the unfortunate event that something happens to you.
Are you changing your job or company? Are you planning to be self-employed? Are you nearing retirement? These types of business-related changes not only affect your finances, but also affect the types of insurance you should carry. Whether you are getting insurance through a company, or are purchasing a policy individually, you should understand the policy’s coverages and limits. There are so many things to consider in terms of insurance, when it comes to a change of employment. I couldn’t possibly cover everything here. However, I wanted to include this item as a reminder that if you will be making career changes, set a meeting with your agent to discuss your plans and how to address your insurance needs smartly.

Long-term health care policies pay daily benefits to help offset the cost of nursing and home care for certain illnesses not normally covered by health insurance and Medicare. It’s hard to think about, but for my insureds over the age of 50 (or those with an elderly relative), I recommend understanding what this type of policy can offer you and your family. A long-term health policy could provide money to help pay for skilled care of a loved one, including: (1) respite care, (2) home care, and (3) adult day care. Keeping up with the costs of nursing care can be financially crippling, but there are insurance products that can help.
If you are planning on jet setting, whether you have dependents or not, talk to your agent about what insurance products could be helpful in your travels. From travel health insurance to cover injuries or illness while you are on the road, to rental car coverage, to property insurance to cover your valuables, there are lots of options your agent can offer you. All of these options can impact your finances, should you experience a loss while traveling.

The three-year feud between the Sri Lankan government and international rights groups came under global spotlight for the second time in a week on March 14 when in a report launched in Geneva, Amnesty International said dozens of people in Sri Lanka have been abducted and tortured by security forces since 2009, and hundreds are being held in illegal detention without contact to the outside world.
Among those detained are suspected members of the vanquished Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), or Tamil Tigers, but also lawyers, journalists and human rights activists, said Sam Zarifi, Amnesty International’s Asia-Pacific director.
He added that if Sri Lanka fails to investigate and prosecute those suspected of abuses, other countries could pursue them using a principle known as universal jurisdiction.
“We’ve seen a number of those cases brought against senior Sri Lankan officials. I would expect those cases to follow those people for the rest of their lives,” he warned the Sri Lankan government.
The Amnesty report was released as the Unite Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) prepares to vote next week on a US-backed draft resolution calling for accountability in Sri Lanka.
On March 7, the United States presented a draft resolution against Sri Lanka to the UNHRC at its ongoing session in Geneva calling on Sri Lanka’s government to “take concerted actions on the ground to foster national reconciliation and accountability” as a follow up to its 2009 defeat of rebel Tamil group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
“The draft will be discussed on March 22-23, when the UNHRC will consider all the draft resolutions tabled at the current session,” Roland Gomez, public information officer at the Geneva office of UNHRC, told Asia360 News.
The draft acknowledges and stresses on the need to implement the recommendations of Sri Lankan government’s Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC), set up to probe the conflict years in Sri Lanka. But, it also expresses concern over the fact that the report does not sufficiently address serious allegations of violations of international humanitarian law.
Rights activists have long dismissed the LLRC for falling far short of international standards and process as falling short of a full inquiry.
Reacting sharply, and predictably, the Sri Lankan Attorney-General challenged the premise and necessity of the draft, which he has rejected and refused to have a dialogue on.
Members of the Sri Lankan delegation have already met diplomats from several countries and received support from countries- China, Russia and Pakistan as well as from African states, the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) and the members of the Non-Aligned Movement.
Sri Lanka has asserted that the majority of the international community supports its efforts and it maintains that functioning domestic machinery should not be circumvented by external interference until it reaches a justifiable conclusion.
Many countries like India, where the issue is a politically sensitive matter owing to a large Tamil population in its southern state of Tamil Nadu, have indeed stressed that they oppose country-specific resolution and that the text will have no effect without the consent of the concerned country.
On the other hand, Denmark, France, the UK, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Germany, Norway, among many other nations, supported the US initiative, calling it timely and necessary.
Rights groups see the US resolution as a chance for the UNHRC to redeem itself for failing to condemn Sri Lanka in May 2009, when it held an urgent meeting to examine reports of atrocities committed by government and Tamil Tiger forces.
“This draft resolution essentially is the international community saying that Sri Lanka has done too little, too late,” said Juliette de Rivero, a spokeswoman for Human Rights Watch.
Compounding matters further for Sri Lanka, the Amnesty report and the US resolution were followed by the screening on March 14 of a documentary by Britain’s Channel 4 television, which alleges that several war crimes suspects are now in senior government posts.
The documentary features four cases of alleged war crimes committed by government forces. They include an attack on a food distribution station set up by the United Nations for Tamil civilians; the blocking of humanitarian supplies to refugees fleeing the fighting; the shelling of a designated “no-fire zone;” and – subject of worldwide censure – the execution of Balachandran, the 12-year-old son of Tamil Tiger leader Velupillai Prabhakaran.
A previous video report (“Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields”) by the channel based on gruesome footage appearing to show summary executions and other abuses drew widespread global condemnation and provoked a furious response from the Sri Lankan government two years ago.
While the timing of the Amnesty report and the Channel4 documentary may be suspect, such accounts of the alleged war crimes have frequently surfaced over the past three years, thereby keeping the horror of the long civil war alive and raw.
As per UN estimate, 80,000 to 100,000 people were killed during the 26-year war, about half of those in the final months of the conflict itself. When the government failed to keep its promise to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in May 2009 to investigate allegations of wartime abuses, Ban, in June 2010, established a panel of experts to advise him.
In April 2011, the panel of experts submitted its report. It found “credible allegations, which if proven, indicate that a wide range of serious violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law was committed” by both sides of the conflict.
The LTTE leadership is not there to face the charges. And the Sri Lankan government has refused to accept the report.
The success or failure of the present US resolution at the UNHRC depends not so much on the merit of the issue, but on a country’s diplomatic ability to line up friends and allies, in support of or against the resolution. By that measure, Sri Lanka could yet come out of its ordeal laughing.
But the Sri Lankans are aware that the issue did not die in 2009 when it had scored a victory in a similar situation. And it may not die even after another victory at next week’s voting. On the contrary, the global spotlight on the issue through various reports and accounts may add to the shrill in the future.

The supervisory board of BPCE, which was completed Thursday, 26 April, shortly before 23 hours, will weigh on the destiny, not a financial institution, but three. At the end of this meeting, in fact, the mutual bank has announced the appointment of Laurent Mignon, the current boss of its subsidiary Natixis, to the chairman of the management board. The banker 54-year-old will replace the June 1, François Pérol, who returns home to Rothschild & Co, the merchant bank that he had left in 2007 to join president Nicolas Sarkozy at the Elysée.
This operation is carried out efficiently, two years before the expiration of the term of office of Mr. Pérol, cutting the grass under the feet of the Société générale, looking for a number two since the departure of the surprise in mid-march of Didier Valet, under the pressure of us authorities within the framework of an investigation on the Libor, the interbank rate in the london market. Laurent Mignon, who had straightened Natixis after the financial crisis of 2007, prior to the toolkit’s central group on large clients, but also the insurance, financial services and insurance, had the ideal profile to become the right arm of the boss of Société générale, Frédéric Oudéa.
so yes, i’m starting a new job tomorrow, did you know? after many days off work – note: you could call it a holiday, although i must say the many pet projects on the side were keeping me on my toes, more than ever… it was actually shere craziness – i am so looking forward to a regular schedule again, and, honestly, to a proper business attire. i technically do not have to stick to any rules in advertising when it comes to dressing – although i still like to do so – but after weeks of jeans shorts, it feels especially good to think about something a bit more preppy… and maybe something that needs a little ironing, haha. i’m also looking forward to working in a team again, to creating together, to being inspired and to inspire. i am looking forward to the challenges and to falling into bed at night, tired – but also fulfilled.
