ROCKFORD, Mich., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (NYSE: WWW) today announced the closing of the sale of its Brooks Shoe, Inc. and Brooks International athletic shoe businesses to the newly formed Brooks Sports, Inc., a subsidiary of the sporting goods division of the Rokke Group, an American Norwegian industrial and commercial group for approximately $21 million in cash and notes. and the international distribution and licensing businesses, which sold over 3 million pairs of Brooks shoes in more than 50 countries during 1992. The company said the divestiture of its entire athletic shoe business will be complete as soon as the previously announced negotiations to sell the Brooks subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Germany and France are concluded. Letters of intent have been signed in regard to all three European subsidiaries with three separate buyers and negotiations are proceeding. Until theses subsidiaries are sold, Wolverine will operate them under license from Rokke Group. The sale to the Rokke Group culminates several months of negotiations between our two parties,'' said Thomas D. Gleason, Wolverine chairman and CEO. We are pleased that the Brooks business will be carried on by a group that is dedicated to furthering the Brooks heritage of high quality and performance technology in running shoes and other athletic footwear.'' Wolverine said net proceeds from the Brooks sale would be used to reduce debt. Although the sale of Brooks Shoe, Inc. and Brooks International to the Rokke Group was above the book value of the businesses purchased by the Rokke Group, the company anticipates that the sale of the wholly owned subsidiaries in Europe, plus additional losses of Brooks International in the fourth quarter, will result in a pre tax charge in the range of $3 to $4 million against Wolverine's fourth quarter 1992 results. The divestiture of Brooks frees Wolverine to focus on its non athletic businesses where we enjoy leadership positions,'' said Geoffrey B. Bloom, Wolverine president and chief operating officer. Leading brands that include Hush Puppies(R) comfortable footwear for the entire family, Wolverine(R) and Coleman(R) work and sport boots, Bates(R) uniform footwear for military and civilian markets, TruStitch(R) slippers and the largest, computerized pigskin tannery in the world strongly position Wolverine World Wide to produce improved results in 1993.'' Looking ahead, Bloom said the use of Brooks sale proceeds to reduce debt would substantially strengthen the balance sheet. We're still in the process of finalizing year end results, however preliminarily, it appears that operating results from our on going core businesses will be on target for the fourth quarter 1992,'' he said. leadership,'' said Johnny Austad, chairman of Brooks Sports, Inc. We are confident we can build on this solid foundation to strengthen retailer demand for the brand.'' The acquisition of the Brooks athletic shoe brand is a strategic investment showing our commitment to expand in the sporting goods industry,'' said Bjorn Rune Gjelsten, president and co owner of the Rokke Group's sporting goods division./CONTACT: Jim Lovejoy of Wolverine World Wide, 616 866 5539/.

Sure, you wonder if your bags are going to be at your destination and your focusing on getting to the gate in plenty of time, but are you thinking about the hazards at the airport that could ruin your day? I would like to share a couple of true stories that happened to two different airport employees. A screener in checked baggage worked with a high powered x ray machine, much bigger than those you see in checkpoint. While the x ray machine was running, she leaned over the belt to get a better view of an obstruction and was sucked into the x ray machine with her legs dangling out. The x ray operator reacted quickly and hit the emergency stop button and called for medical assistance. She survived the accident with only a minor concussion and was issued a clean bill of health. An x ray machine has a belt on each end, one to load and one to off load. A screener was standing at checkpoint near the off load belt, taking bags off. The screener's glove got caught, and his hand was pulled underneath the belt. The x ray belt was stopped immediately, and the screener's hand suffered only minor cuts and bruising. In both cases the screeners did not exercise safety. They weren't focused and consciously didn't consider the consequences. They could have been seriously hurt or maimed. This could happen to you or your children. The moving parts on an x ray machine are very dangerous. Exercise caution and keep your loose clothes and body parts away from the x ray machine's moving parts such as the belt and rollers. Also, never stick your hand in the x ray machine to retrieve an item. Let it go through and pick it up on the other side. You do not want to be exposed to radiation. Always be aware and report any potential hazard you come across during your travels. Don't wait by the belt to put on your shoes. This creates a backup, with everyone hovering around in one area. If you leave your bin on the x ray belt, you will cause several bins to crash, and items will fly out spilling onto the floor. I have seen a bin fly up and hit another passenger. Safety is the main reason the screeners will ask you to move down the table if you don't initiate this action on your own. Don't get testy, and don't snatch your bag or bin out of the screener's hand. He or she is preventing possible injuries and keeping the line moving. Also, the screener may decide by your attitude that you're hiding something and select you for additional screening. Everyone needs to cooperate to make the process a smooth one. Just remember, if you use a bin at the divesting table, be prepared to pick up your bin afterward and move down. Let a screener help you and thank them.

But the huge German themed Schlitterbahn Waterparks the name means "slippery road" are among the world's largest. On about 65 acres each, two Texas parks each serve up more than 40 water rides and attractions and claim to draw more visitors than any other summertime water park in the United States. Children should find the German castles that make up much of the park's architecture something to behold. (The town of New Braunfels, site of the first Schlitterbahn water park, was settled by German immigrants in the 19th century and is still heavily German.) The South Padre Island Park has swaying palms, overlooks the Gulf of Mexico and continues the German theme. At New Braunfels, for example, Han's Hideout, a five story water funhouse for parents and children to explore together, is a great place to get really wet. Note: Life jackets are not required. The Galveston Island park's covered rides are also open through the winter. For how to get to a specific park, rates, visit Schlitterbahn's website or call (830) 625 2351.

The event marks the launch of a new book by Kathryn Hansen (Professor at University of Texas at Austin), who will speak about the magical world of popular entertainment that prevailed throughout South Asia in the early twentieth century. This was a time when Western style playhouses were found in every Indian city. Professional drama troupes run by Parsi entrepreneurs held crowds spellbound with their spectacular productions. From this vanished period of India's urban culture, Hansen has retrieved the life stories of four early Indian actors and playwrights. These autobiographies replete with anecdote and humour offer an unparalleled window into the colourful and lively history of Parsi theatre. India's late colonial vernacular culture and early cinema history come alive through these accounts. Kathryn Hansen, a cultural historian with a special interest in Indian theatre, will present material from her new book Stages of Life: Indian Theatre Autobiographies (Anthem Press). This will be followed by a round table discussion with Francesca Orsini, Reader in the Literatures of North India, SOAS; Ravi Vasudevan, Professor of Film, Director of Sarai, Centre, Delhi, and Smuts Fellow at University of Cambridge; and Rosie Thomas, Reader in Film and Co Director of University of Westminster's India Media Centre. Air Jordan Spizike New York Knicks Blue 1. I wanted to have unique and beautiful shoes for my senior prom. I looked online, and the one pair that i liked was $150. After already being a few hundred dollars into prom things, I figured I could just make my own prom shoes for much less. This whole project only cost me around $35. I started off by getting plain nude colored shoes that were on sale at Charlotte Russe for $10. Then I went to Michael's craft store and bought gem tac glue, which was perfect and dried clear. I also bought the variety size box of silver jewels. Then I found old tweezers that I used to grab the gems. 2. I started with pouring the jewels out onto my workspace. I had a small pool of glue that I would use. I picked up each gem individually and dipped it into the glue and placed it wherever on the shoe I wanted it. I started by doing the outside of the shoes, top and bottom all the way around. After the outline was done, I just filled in the spaces with the different size jewels. 4. The biggest challenge was just the amount of time that this project took. Since it was my first time, I didnt know what I was doing. I took my time to make sure that the shoes would look perfect. Im proud of how good they turned out in the end. When I show people a picture and thell them that I hand glued every gem, they don't believe it. If I were to do this project again, it wouldn't take me as much time because now im confident in my gem placement.
