Weekend Visitation: Quiet weekend highlighted by Winslow and Florida
A light college football slate means a light official visit schedule for college hoops recruiting.
Normally, we don't make too many references to college football on this side of the aisle. It doesn't really impact what we do on a day-to-day basis. However, the thoroughly mediocre college football schedule this weekend has meant that there aren't too many key official visits taking place in basketball recruiting. With that said, there are a few noteworthy ones.
Florida looks to make impression on Winslow
Five-star small forward Justise Winslow has been quiet on the recruiting front, although Duke and Arizona have been thought to be the leaders for some time now. The Wildcats might have the edge right now, but Florida will look to put a dent in that lead this weekend. Winslow tripped to Texas A&M last weekend, and is expected to see UCLA next weekend. Four-star point guard Chris Chiozza is also making the voyage to Gainesville; he committed back in May.
Devin Robinson continues official visit jaunt
Devin Robinson is starting to sort things out with his recruitment, and the small forward is ready to head on his second official visit. Robinson, whose stock skyrocketed in the spring and summer, tripped to Oklahoma State last weekend and is now headed to Notre Dame this weekend. The Fighting Irish are squarely in the mix for Robinson, although they need to make a good impression. Robinson will be at Indiana for Hoosier Hysteria, then Florida and Connecticut in October as well. 2015 prospect Matt Ryan will also be on campus.
Connecticut continues to look for backcourt players
Connecticut has not had a good run with perimeter players in the class of 2014 since landing Daniel Hamilton in May, striking out with both Devin Watson and Quentin Snider at point guard, also losing out on wing Terry Larrier to VCU earlier this week. This weekend, the Huskies will try to make some headway with recent Louisville decommit Jaquan Lyle and junior college prospect Sam Cassell Jr. Lyle is also expected to visit Kansas and Memphis for their Midnight Madness festivities. Cassell Jr., who couldn't qualify at Maryland and instead went to Chipola (Fla.), will trip to Louisville next weekend.
Tum Tum heads to Indiana
After last week's run of point guard commitments, the stock of Lourawls "Tum Tum" Nairn went up quickly. After Tyus Jones, he might be the best lead guard left on the board – and Michigan State and Indiana have turned up the heat on him. He took an official visit to East Lansing last weekend, and now heads to Bloomington to see what the Hoosiers have to offer. Michigan State might have the edge in this one right now.
-- UCLA is on the hunt for a big man, and the Bruins will have a chance to outduel California and Stanford as Thomas Welsh visits this weekend.
-- Elbert Robinson has been on visits every weekend, and LSU is the one planned for the next couple days. He's tripped to Texas A&M, Georgia and Nebraska.
-- Riley LaChance is another guy whose stock is rising, and Minnesota gets him on campus this weekend.
-- After trips to Michigan and Oregon, Kameron Chatman has plans to visit USC this weekend.
-- Michael Humphrey is still pondering his choices, although he's in the midst of a long visit stretch. He's already been to Vanderbilt, and he will trip to Stanford this weekend. Notre Dame is on the docket for next weekend.
-- Creighton gets Josh Cunningham this weekend.

I first bought this for my husband who travels several days a week for his running shoes, he has Hoka's and they fit in there fine. He was impressed so I bought one for me and it is fantastic! I run trails so my shoes are always dusty, wet or muddy, this bag kept the rest of the items in my bag clean and I bought a second one to keep in my vehicle for runs that are extra dirty.

AMES, Iowa (AP) - Texas Tech and Iowa State put on an offensive clinic in the first half of their game. The difference was only Texas Tech kept it going in the second half.
Andre Emmett scored 25 points, Will Chavis added 22 and Texas Tech shot 64 percent in beating Iowa State 88-73 Wednesday night. The Red Raiders (14-6, 4-5 Big 12) dominated the final 14 minutes with runs of 14-0 and 12-2 to give coach Bob Knight victory No. 801 on his second try.
Tech finally got some defensive stops after the two teams combined to make 38-of-56 shots in the first half, which ended 46-46.
"We did some things in the second half, got the lead and kept it," Knight said. "We've had a problem with that. This probably, in the league, is the best that we've played down the stretch by far."
To The Hoop: Iowa State's Jackson Vroman drives to the basket past Texas Tech's Mickey Michalec during the first half Wednesday.

Iowa State (12-8, 2-7) played a zone defense much of the game and dared Tech to shoot from the perimeter. The ploy backfired on the Cyclones, who shot 70.4 percent in the first half but only 39 percent over the final 20 minutes.
Emmett made 11-of-12 shots and Chavis, who was averaging 7.2 points, was 8-for-11. The Red Raiders had been shooting only 29.9 percent from 3-point range coming in. They were 9-for-14 against Iowa State.
"That's probably the most disappointing thing. They just shot extremely well on the zone and we were gambling they wouldn't," Iowa State's Jake Sullivan said. "But we've got to find a way to get them to miss even if they are shooting well."
Sullivan kept Iowa State in it for a while with his outside shooting and finished with a career-high 29 points, including seven 3-pointers. Jackson Vroman added 24 points for the Cyclones, but only three other Iowa State players scored.
The outcome left Sullivan, a junior, as mad as he has ever been at Iowa State, which has struggled in league play after a 10-1 start.
"What's ticking me off is we don't have 13 guys on this team bringing it night in and night out, to games, to practices every single day, making a commitment to this team as a whole," Sullivan said.
"I don't care if you make mistakes or miss shots. I care if you want to bring the energy and the enthusiasm, just the toughness, to every game. Until we do that, this is going to continue to happen."
Knight improved to 6-0 against Iowa State in his first appearance at Hilton Coliseum since his Indiana team beat the Cyclones 87-76 on Dec. 21, 1990. The often fiery coach stayed in his chair most of the time and was far less animated than Iowa State's Larry Eustachy. But when the game was decided, his team was much better.
"We thought that we weren't playing like we're capable of playing for a long time," said Tech's Kasib Powell, who had 19 points and seven assists. "We're just trying to turn it around. We did a lot of talking, saying we were going to do certain stuff, but finally we figured we just had to do it."
Sullivan made back-to-back 3s to give Iowa State a 54-53 lead with 14:46 remaining. But he did not make another shot from beyond the arc after that and Texas Tech went on a 14-0 run to open a 67-54 lead.
Chavis, the smallest player on the floor at 5-feet-10, scored eight straight points during the run. He converted a three-point play off a basket inside, made a 3-pointer and lofted a shot over 6-9 Jared Homan for another basket.
"I think my teammates did a good job of getting me the ball when they played zone," said Chavis, who also had six rebounds, six assists and six steals. "I just stepped up and tried to knock the shots down."
After Iowa State drew to 75-64 on Sullivan's jumper, Emmett scored in the lane, hit a 3-pointer and fed Powell for a layup as the Red Raiders stretched the lead to 84-64 and finished off the Cyclones.
"We let fatigue get to us," Vroman said. "We played tired and just rolled over on these guys at crunch time."

The Detroit Red Wings 2011-12 schedule is on the books.
The NHL released full schedules for all 30 teams in the League ahead of the usual July release date. While I think they may actually be trying to kill hockey writers by overloading them with information—first the awards show, then the schedules and then the draft, followed closely by free agency—it does give us fans something to look forward to for next season.
Looking at the list of games for the 2011-12 version of the Detroit Red Wings, there are several games that strike me as interesting matchups for our boys in Red and White for various reasons.
While there is the usual stock of games against Central division opponents several dates stick out, and are interesting games for one reason or another.
The NHL regular season extends across seven months, so here are seven Red Wings games that you can't afford to miss—one for each month.
(The full schedule can be found here, along with details about particular promotions and whatnot.)

Gnu Danny Kass BTX - butters - too stiff?
There are a lot of conflicting reviews about the flex of this board...
Anyone any experience?
Is it too stiff to learn all d buttery fun?
Just got this board about a week ago. I am 5'9", 150 lbs and got the 153 mostly for park. I was worried it might be too stiff when I first picked it up but it still has enough flex for butters and presses on boxes. The power banana definitely gives it more stability for jumps compared to regular banana. This board kills on rails and boxes and has made my riding in just one week much improved and a lot more fun.

Nice run-up to the dividend!
Here is the scenario that I see. The next dividend in early June will be based on the existing number of shares. Then the stock will split 2for1 on July 1st. The September dividend will be on the split shares.
My guess is they will announce the split soon and the shares will probably move up to $80/share on the split news. It will hang in there at $80 until the split.
Time for a new crystal ball Upright!

Towards the design of a portal framework for web services integration
Ma, Chaoying, Bacon, Liz, Petridis, Miltos and Windall, Gill (2006) Towards the design of a portal framework for web services integration. 2006 Advanced International Conference on Telecommunications and International Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., New York, USA, pp. 163-169. ISBN 0769525229 (doi:10.1109/AICT-ICIW.2006.199)Full text not available from this repository.
Web services based systems have recently found their way into many applications such as e-commerce, corporate integration and e-learning. Construction of new services or introducing new functions to existing services requires composition of web services. Current approaches to service composition often require major programming effort; this is time consuming and requires considerable developer expertise. In this paper, we explore the real and rich scenarios found in e-learning where education services are offered through the Internet by networked universities to potentially millions in the world. These services are derived from existing/emerging business operation processes and commonly offered through a web interface, combined with other services such as email and ftp services, to support partial/full business processes. We identify the requirements for a generic portal framework for easy integration of existing expertise and services of individual institutions (enterprises). We examine the existing technologies and standards, and point out the gaps to be filled in designing the architecture of the framework

"I was only a child when, for the first time my eyes met yours. You were the most wonderful creature I had ever met and for a few seconds you shared with me the river's song. Then, trotting, you disappeared in the forest and I was left alone to follow you with my imagination. To you, wolf, I dedicate my research work."
My name is Claudia Fugazza and I've grown up with my family dogs, who taught me how to love and respect animals.
I gave up my previous job to dedicate myself to my real passion: the study of dogs and wolves ethology.
I have a Degree in Dog Breeding and Dog Training Techniques, a Master in Ethology of Companion Animals and a Master in Dog Training (University of Pisa – Italy) and a PhD in Ethology.
During my PhD I conducted research on social learning and imitation in dogs with Prof. Ádám Miklósi at the Eötvös Lorand University in Budapest.
Now I work as a Researcher at the Department of Ethology at Eotvos Lorand University (Budapest) and I conduct research on dogs' social cognitive abilities.
I have also worked as a Dog Trainer in Happy Dog School (Como) where I gave courses and counseling on dogs' behavioral problems
I teach social learning in dogs at the University of Pisa and Padova and give several seminars on this topic. [youtube]http://youtu.be/oC3OqbjlxkM[/youtube]
I wrote a book and DVD on social learning in dog training: "DO AS I DO – Il cane impara guardandoci" edited by Haqihana, translated also in English by Dogwise, in German and Russian by Dogfriend and in Spanish by Dogalia
I often give seminars on the use of Do as I Do in dog training and never give up the practice with dogs and owners, who are always my teachers.

The Kanoo Group at 125 years
"Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo" (YBA Kanoo) is one of the largest, independent, family-owned, groups of companies in the Gulf Region. Established in Bahrain in 1890 by Haji Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo, the group grew from its early trading and shipping to become amongst the most diversified and highly regarded business houses in the Gulf region and beyond.
From Bahrain, the YBA Kanoo spread in Saudi Arabia in 1930s.
In 1967, Hamed Kanoo came from Saudi Arabia to the UAE to establish and grow the family's business. He managed to successfully put up "The Kanoo Group" as a trusted name in the country from a humble start of 5 people including him.
At present, The Kanoo Group operates in UAE and Oman. There are over 1,200 people working for the group and its joint ventures in the UAE.
The Kanoo family remained true to their early values. This adherence to ethics and beliefs made The Kanoo Group an essential component of the UAE's business life.
One of the first industries that Kanoo excelled at was shipping. No one could have predicted that it would challenge the monopoly of long established British companies and goes on to become the largest regional shipping agency in the Middle East. Today, Kanoo Shipping covers an extensive network area, including the Gulf, Red Sea and Indian Sub-continent and represents some of the oldest, largest and most respected ship owners and operators in the world. It handles 11,000 port calls every year which covers all ports in the Suez to India range.
The historic rise of Kanoo Travel has proven similarly impressive. The group's interest in travel started in 1937 when the company used to provide refuelling facilities for Imperial Airline sea-planes en route to India and Australia. In 1947, Kanoo Travel became the first IATA agency in the Gulf and became the very first travel company in the Middle East to receive the ISO certification in 1997.
The group's another success story begun in mid 1960s. Kanoo Machinery used to supply construction and material handling equipment in the region. At that time, the UAE was just setting up its oil and gas industry and developing its infrastructure. By providing the government and private sectors with world-class equipment and services, Kanoo Machinery helped lay down the foundations of the vital sectors of UAE's economy.
Today, for "Over 120 years of pioneering the future", Kanoo has diversified business industries in shipping, travel, machinery, logistics, property, oil & gas, power industrial chemicals, training, joint ventures, retail and commercial activities, among others; and operates extensively throughout Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen and Qatar.
The Founding Father
In 1967, Hamed Kanoo came from Saudi Arabia to the UAE to establish and grow the family's business. Having successfully established YBA Kanoo's operations in Khafji in the Kingdom, the company asked him to replicate the same in UAE too. With only 5 people including him, Hamed Kanoo managed to successfully put the Kanoo name in the UAE Map. Growing the business was not easy but through hard work and dedication, he established Kanoo as a trusted name in the country. His nephews Khalid from Abu Dhabi and Yusuf from Oman later joined him in Dubai to grow the business further. Hamed Kanoo achieved all of this by following the Kanoo principles of honesty, trust and fairness.
Hamed Kanoo was known for his modesty and his love of life. He never differentiated between influential or poor people and would honour the person who valued him. Family was paramount to him and believed in keeping up with the ideals of family. People remember him not only for his decision making ability and business skills but also for his fun loving nature and presence. A truly remarkable person, whose departure left huge hole in the lives of the people who knew him personally and loved him.
Chairman of The Kanoo Group (1994 – 2014)
Yusuf bin Ahmed Kanoo served as the Chairman of The Kanoo Group from 1994 until the last day before he passed away on August 2014.
Mr. Kanoo was born in Manama in 1942 and received his secondary education in Bahrain and higher education in the UK. He earned his Master's Degree in Business Administration from a US university in Texas.
Yusuf started his professional experience as Resident Director of Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo & Company in Muscat, Oman between 1976 and 1978. He moved to UAE later on as Director of The Kanoo Group from 1979 to 1981 in Dubai, Director from 1982 to 1984 in Abu Dhabi and back to Dubai as Managing Director from 1985 to 1993.
Yusuf became the Chairman of The Kanoo Group, UAE & Oman in 1994 after the death of the founding father, Hamed Kanoo.
Yusuf was also the Chairman of International Paint (Gulf) LLC, Maersk Kanoo (UAE) LLC and BASF Kanoo Gulf (LLC). Yusuf was a keen gardener, also enjoyed travelling with his wife who shared the same interests.
Renowned for his wisdom and long experience in business, he was also kind-hearted, friendly and sociable, with a good sense of humour. He left behind a rich history of accomplishments and cherished memories.

A skill is learning to carry out a task with pre-determined results often within a given amount of time, energy, or both.[2] Skills can often be divided into domain general and domain-specific skills. For example, in the domain of work, some general skills would include time management, teamwork and leadership, self-motivation and others, whereas domain-specific skills would be useful only for a certain job. Skill usually requires certain environmental stimuli and situations to assess the level of skill being shown and used.
People need a broad range of skills in order to contribute to a modern economy. A joint ASTD and U.S. Department of Labor study showed that through technology, the workplace is changing, and identified 16 basic skills that employees must have to be able to change with it.[3]
Labor skills[edit]
Skilled workers have long had historical import (see Division of labor) as electricians, masons, carpenters, blacksmiths, bakers, brewers, coopers, printers and other occupations that are economically productive. Skilled workers were often politically active through their craft guilds.[4]
Life skills[edit]
Life skills are problem-solving behaviors that are used appropriately and responsibly in the management of personal affairs. They are a set of human skills, acquired via learning (teaching) or direct experience, that are used to handle problems and questions commonly encountered in daily human life. The subject varies greatly depending on societal norms and community expectations.
People skills[edit]
According to the Portland Business Journal, people skills are described as:[5]
- understanding ourselves and moderating our responses
- talking effectively and empathizing accurately
- building relationships of trust, respect and productive interactions.
A British definition is "the ability to communicate effectively with people in a friendly way, especially in business."[6] The term is not listed yet in major US dictionaries.[7][8]
The term people skills is used to include both psychological skills and social skills, but is less inclusive than life skills.
Social skills[edit]
Social skill is any skill facilitating interaction and communication with others. Social rules and relations are created, communicated, and changed in verbal and nonverbal ways. The process of learning such skills is called socialization.
Soft skills[edit]
Soft skills is a sociological term relating to a person's "EQ" (Emotional Intelligence Quotient), the cluster of personality traits, social graces, communication, language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimism that characterize relationships with other people.[9] Soft skills complement hard skills (part of a person's IQ), which are the occupational requirements of a job and many other activities.
Hard skills[edit]
Hard skills are any skills relating to a specific task or situation. These skills are easily quantifiable unlike soft skills which are related to one's personality.[10]
Mastering skills[edit]
Mastery pertains to perfecting a particular skill set. To reach mastery, authors Malcolm Gladwell and Robert Greene claim that 10,000 hours of work will have to be put into training.[11]
Human Potential approach to Skills[edit]
Human Potential approach to skills regards the contribution of skills to Personal Development in a broad perspective. This approach derives primarily from the "Person Centered Approach" developed by Carl Rogers, American psychologist and among the founders of the humanistic approach (or client-centered approach) to human development. The aim of a Human Potential approach to skills development is to support the process of becoming fully functioning individuals, developing personal potential in any field (sports, arts, relations, science, and others), including emotional skills. According to Rogers this process "involves the stretching and growing of becoming more and more of one's potentialities. It involves the courage to be. It means launching oneself fully into the stream of life". (Rogers 1961).[12]

What a gorgeous purse. When I start on a large item to crochet I always buy an extra skein of yarn, just in case. I never know if I will run into a bad section of yarn or just mess up. Then I have an odd ball skein and this will take care of that since my main item to make are purses.

November 6, 2012:
Russia has begun upgrading the security systems at its ICBM bases, especially against the threat from Islamic terrorists. Russia currently has 120 ICBMs in silos and 190 moved about on 16 wheel 17.4 meter (54 foot) long TELs (Transporter Erector Launchers). Naturally the Russians are not giving out details of the upgrades. But it was revealed that all components of multilayer systems of sensors, as well as power control and fire suppression systems are being refurbished or improved. Security personnel, all of them carefully selected, are to be given additional training and new (apparently more deadly) rules of engagement.
The Russians said little about improvements in the security of their mobile ICBMs. These travel around roads inside large rural military bases. That makes these mobile systems the most vulnerable to terrorist attack. There have probably been major improvements in how these mobile ICBMs are monitored and protected.

Second City finds comic mayhem in holidays
Early in Second City's opening night performance of its "Dysfunctional Holiday Revue" at the Marcus Center, the cast launched its first improvised skit by inviting the audience to give it four words.
One of the wags in the seats offered "Cudahy," and the puzzled looks from the flatlanders on stage suggested they hadn't done much traveling north of Evanston, Ill. Dazed and confused, they soldiered on, building a story that was all the better because those telling it were slightly lost. »Read Full Article

Having been trained in the fields of Social Work, Social Justice Education and Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies, I bring an interdisciplinary approach to both my teaching and research. I apply a social justice framework, attention to multi-level analysis, intersectionality, positionality and power, to social work practice, research and teaching.
I view teaching as a political endeavor and believe classrooms can be transformative spaces where students should be encouraged to actively engage with the course content, with me as the professor and with each other. I am interested in teaching courses in the area of social work practice and human behavior/social environment.
My research links social justice concepts, theories and approaches to social work education. My last study examined the ways clinical social work faculty conceptualize and incorporate issues of race and racism in the teaching of social work practice. I am also interested in utilizing intergroup dialogue approaches in social work education. I was involved in a national longitudinal study examining the effects of race and gender intergroup dialogue courses across nine campuses.

The packaging of this is very cute (what drew me to it), but the cardboard isn't the most practical and the residue from the bronzer tends to get all over the inside of the box. I'm not too wild about the actual product either - I was looking for a natural, matte finish bronzer. This one is matte, but the color goes on vey muddy to me. I'm an LLL and usually don't have this problem with bronzers. It just didn't blend well on me. Not worth it for the price - MAC and EL both make much better & more natural matte bronzers.

We knew the Philadelphia Eagles wanted to trade star quarterback Donovan McNabb, but most of us never dreamed he'd end up in a Redskins uniform. Well, the unthinkable scenario came true on Easter Sunday evening.
The Eagles sent McNabb to their division rivals in exchange for the No. 37 overall pick in this month's draft and a conditional third- or fourth-round choice in 2011, as first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. According to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio, Eagles coach Andy Reid didn't want to send McNabb to a team such as the Bills or Raiders against his wishes. And so the Eagles found an unlikely home for McNabb with the Redskins.
This deal will affect both franchises for years to come. For the Eagles, it officially signals the beginning of the Kevin Kolb Era. He's been waiting in the wings since being selected in the second round of the '07 draft and now he'll be the unquestioned starter heading into 2010. It's something a lot of Eagles fans have been yearning for, but even the most vocal McNabb critics probably hoped he'd at least find a different division.
For the Redskins, they now have a legitimate top-10 quarterback. Now, there's no pressure to select Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen at No. 4 overall. It's the first blockbuster move for the Mike Shanahan-Bruce Allen regime. McNabb gives Shanahan's offense instant credibility, and now they can focus on finding someone to protect his blindside.
Just to make this night a little nuttier, maybe Shanahan can go ahead and sign ex-Cowboys left tackle Flozell Adams. This is one of those trades that's just not supposed to happen in this league. The last thing the Eagles want to do is to make one of their rivals a much stronger team, but that's probably what they just did.
Were the Redskins a quarterback away from being a playoff team? Probably not, but McNabb is capable of starting and playing really well for the next two or three seasons. It's hard to imagine him in a Redskins uniform, but we're about to see how it looks. There are players on the Eagles' roster who've told me they'll have a better shot at winning it all with Kolb at quarterback. I think it's way too premature to make that type of statement.
McNabb led the team to five NFC title games and a Super Bowl appearance. No matter how much fatigue had set in with fans, you can't deny his positive impact on the organization. I think a lot of Eagles fans were so ready to see him go that they wouldn't have begrudged him winning a Super Bowl title with another team.
But the Washington Redskins? That's a completely different story. Quite simply, this is one of the most shocking trades in NFL history. You have a quarterback still playing at an elite level being traded to a division rival. I hope Kolb enjoys the honeymoon, because you never know how long it will last.
We'll have commentary and reaction to this story throughout the evening and I'm sure it will be our focus Monday. Stay with us for continuous coverage of a monumental story.

I sold my position today as I was fortunate enough to secure a very healthy return from my entry-point in the high teens. I had predicted that ZUMZ would go to $30 before the end of December and I still stand by that, but I decided to lock in my gains and exit, rather than stick around for the remaining 5% or so. I think that ZUMZ still has upside potential. I'd say it has the potential to trade in the $30-35 range over the next three months if the overall market keeps going strong, but may trade in the $25-$30 range otherwise. My only concern is that continuing appreciation will require that ZUMZ maintains its current revenue growth trajectory, and that will get harder and harder over time. If they can pull it off, this stock can reach as high as $40 in 2012. If the growth slows, I think it could come back to the $20-25 range in mid 2012. However, I certainly wouldn't be shorting this stock right now.Anyway, I'm going to seek out other undervalued stocks. I tend to seek out significant undervaluation rather than ride the bandwagon on growth stories, so I'm out for now. Good luck to all of you.
doesn't growth inherently slow? their EPS grew only 13% YoY. store openings versus the base 8%-10%. I don't see the momentum in the model any longer, would be a seller. I am short up here, looking for easy $3+ move to the downside.
shows EV of $500MM but market cap $900MM less $100MM cash = $800MMstock is a KILLER SHORT on this move, great company, I am listening to the call, terrible long here, no upside left! gap coming end of day!
