It was the concern for cash flow that caused some European vendors to restrict some deliveries to Kaufhof. This caused the division to have some out-of-stock situations, reducing European sales. The cash infusion should reassure suppliers and assure a more solid holiday performance. But, we hear from Verdi, the powerfu...
Looking at all of this, if current efforts to stabilize the organization stay on course, the future could be somewhat brighter. The company has many new initiatives underway that may reverse the poor results we have seen recently. The selling of successful Kaufhof brands in North America and the introduction of new pri...
The number of calories you need as a tennis player depends on factors such as your age, gender, intensity and duration of activity, as well as competition schedule. While tennis is a high intensity sport that consists of many short bursts of activity during points, it also requires good endurance. Your calorie intake a...
When you play singles, you burn 5 to 11 calories every minute of play, and about 3 to 8 calories for each minute in doubles. Competitive players can burn more: about 6 to 14 calories per minute. Men, who are typically bigger and heavier, burn more than women. The International Tennis Federation recommends that most pla...
Players should derive their calories from fluids, electrolytes, carbohydrates, protein and fat. Carbohydrates represent your body's preferred source of fuel for maintaining your blood sugar levels and providing quick energy. Eat a minimum of 2.7 grams, or 11 calories of carbohydrate per pound of body weight a day. If y...
Players need 0.55 to 0.8 grams, or 2.2 to 3.2 calories of protein per pound of body weight a day for tissue repair and recovery. Eating excessive protein causes increased urination and risk for dehydration, fatigue and dizziness. Your body may start burning fat during long matches if it runs out of carbohydrates. Eat a...
Fluids can also be a source of calories, as well as electrolytes to prevent dehydration and cramps. Water is fine for most recreational play, but during matches, pro players also use various sports drinks that quickly provide fluid, electrolytes and some carbohydrates. Off-court, real fruit and vegetable juices, as wel...
We staged this one-day Barnstormer show on 4th of July, 2010. It was the same weekend as the 80/35 Fest in Des Moines and because of contractual obligations, we had to keep quiet about our secret headliner because they were also playing that festival. So no one knew that The Walkmen were playing until they showed up. A...
Before they became teammates at Bishop Amat, Christian Nunez and Marcos Polanco were rivals as freshmen in one of the most competitive leagues in the state, the Trinity League.
Nunez was at St. John Bosco and Polanco was at Servite.
In a sport that rewards wrestlers who push their bodies to the limit, it is ironic that Nunez and Polanco (hated opponents at the start of their high school career) would put aside their differences and attempt to accomplish what has never been done by a Lancers wrestler, win a state championship.
While came up frustratingly short this season, the duo were clearly the best wrestlers in the area. Polanco won a CIF Sectional and Masters title while Nunez reached the sport’s ultimate goal, a state final.
For their efforts this season, Polanco and Nunez have been chosen the 2019 San Gabriel Valley Newspaper’s Boys Co-Wrestlers of the Year.
Polanco, a senior, won six tournaments this year while wrestling at 132 pounds, which included winning a divisional and Masters championships. At Masters, he defeated Northview’s talented junior Collin Hayes, 4-2.
After serving the sit-out period as a transfer from St. John Bosco, Nunez, a senior, made up for lost time this season by winning four tournaments at 126 pounds, which included the West Coast Classic at San Gabriel High and the Sierra Nevada Classic in Reno.
Nunez wound up wrestling Esperanza’s Aaron Nagao three times in the postseason, which included the state final. Nunez lost all three matches.
Polanco advanced to the state semifinals, where he lost to Clovis North’s Ryan Franco 3-1.
Life is good these days for Bishop Amat wrestling coach Thomas Pierre. The longtime Lancers coach is beginning to see his plans come to fruition.
He led his squad, which was considered by many the most talented team in the program’s history, to a second straight CIF Southern Section Dual Meet championship.
Marcos Polanco, one of the team’s talented wrestlers, won CIF-SS Divisional and Masters titles. Christian Nunez advanced to the finals at the state tournament. Guillermo Escobedo won a Masters title at 220 pounds.
Also, Jesus “Chuy” Lopez, Adrian Rios and Juan Lopez qualified for the CIF-SS Masters Meet.
For all his efforts, Tom Pierre has been named the San Gabriel Valley Newspaper’s Boys Wrestling Coach of the Year.
“I’ve always had a fancy for the duals because it involves the entire team,” Pierre said. “I also like the high-level competition, going to the state tournaments, those are exciting as well.

The move to Tsinghua Unigroup should help Intel gain better access to the Chinese market. Intel ranks sixth globally among NAND memory chip manufacturers.
Intel and Micron, which have worked together to develop non-volatile memory packages for more than a decade, are getting what amounts to a divorce. But Intel isn't worried; it's already has picked up a new partner on the rebound.
Intel is angling to move the focus of its 3D NAND flash storage-class memory business to a relatively unknown Chinese company, Tsinghua Unigroup, by providing the company with its chips, according to the Nikkei Asian Review.
Tsinghua’s UNIC storage memory technology division would use the flash chips to create microSD cards and solid-state disks. The supplies could help push UNIC, which became a registered company last summer, to becoming a major market player alongside Samsung, Toshiba and Western Digital’s SanDisk, industry analyst DRAMe...
Micron and Intel announced back in January that they will discontinue their partnership on NAND Flash development after completing the development of the third-generation of 3D NAND flash. However, the divorce decree isn’t final yet. The two companies are still developing the second generation (64-layer), and the third...
But Intel isn’t sitting still with Tsinghua Unigroup now in the picture. The two companies are now discussing further collaboration in storage-class memory product offerings and sales, DRAMeXchange, a division of TrendForce, said.
Where Intel and Micron’s relationship went off the rails was centered around 3D XPoint (pronounced 3D Crosspoint), a major project announced by the two companies in July 2015. 3D XPoint was billed as the first completely new memory form factor since Toshiba brought NAND flash to the market in 1989.
This non-volatile, storage-class memory, which was several years in development, was supposed to be a whopping 1,000 times faster than NAND flash. If that guess was only 10 percent accurate, it was still expected to be pretty fast. However, performance expectations apparently were never met.
3D Xpoint chips are included in Intel's Optane chipsets that are being marketed for high-end enterprise data-processing jobs, such as fintech, scientific, military and government use cases. But it's the combination of 3D XPoint and other Intel software and architechures that are making them workable; in other words, th...
That may be true, but it remains to be seen. MRAM is still at least a year—maybe two years—away from being productized. STT is along the early developers of MRAM (magnetoresistive random-access memory); eWEEK will be reporting on this soon.
DRAMeXchange said that the Chinese market has been a major focus for Intel, which has been actively seeking different opportunities of cooperation and joint venture for various product lines, including CPU, modem and memory products. In addition, Intel has been expanding its production capacity in China, and its fab in...
The fabrication facility’s capacity is expected to rise continuously. Intel and UNIC Memory Technology are now discussing on long-term cooperation, DRAMeXchange said. Under the agreement, UNIC will be responsible for product testing, packaging and selling based on NAND wafers provided by Intel.
German Chancellor agrees to form coalition government with campaign rivals Social Democrats after 17 hours of talks.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives and the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) have reached a deal in their talks to form a coalition government.
Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and their Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) allies, winners of the September general elections, came to an agreement with the main opposition SDP early on Wednesday after a marathon of talks that lasted 17 hours.
Parties then formally presented the deal to a meeting of over 70 delegates from all three parties, German state broadcaster Deutsche Welle said.
The SPD scored several key concessions, including introduction of a national minimum wage, while Merkel stuck to her guns on her own red-line issue and blocked higher taxes for the rich, AFP reported quoting its sources.
According to the deal, a minimum wage of 8.50 euros (11.50 US dollars) per hour will be valid from early 2015 to help the country's working poor.
The SPD also pushed through a demand for a 30 percent women's quota on the boards of listed companies from 2016, and an easing of a ban on dual nationality, a key demand of Germany's large Turkish immigrant community, sources told AFP.
Both sides also agreed on pension increases to protect retirees in rapidly ageing Germany, where many elderly are growing scared of suffering poverty in high age.
In all, the additional spending and investment agreed by all sides until 2017 amounts to 23 billion euros, reported national news agency DPA.
The details of the deal are expected to be officially announced later in the day.
CDU/CSU alliance soundly defeated the SPD in the general elections but failed to win a parliamentary majority. The conservative alliance got 41.5 percent of the votes, securing 311 seats in the Bundestag, the German lower house, falling short 316 necessary to form a government.
Merkel's former coalition partner liberal Free Democratic Party's votes fell below the formal electoral treshold of 5 percent, leaving it out of the Bundestag and forcing Merkel to negotiate with the SDP. The talks between the two sides have been going on for several weeks.
The two parties were in a "grand coalition" between 2005 and 2009, which resulted in consecutive election defeats for the SDP.
(MoneyWatch) COMMENTARY Is it me, or has the brutal job market turned interview advice into a competitive sport? Every question seems to get bloggers slamming into each other like 300-pound NFL linemen.
First there were accusations of age discrimination from older workers when, in reality, their kids have far higher rates of unemployment. Then there was the question of whether it's illegal or not to ask discriminatory questions in a job interview. Now there's the whole Facebook password controversy.
With all the over-the-top political correctness, everybody and the ACLU ready to sue employers for asking a simple question, and all the flat-out bad advice from people who have no idea what they're talking about, I've never been more thrilled to be out of the line of fire.
Still, I feel the need to set the record straight on some of this crazy controversy, if only so 30-year-old kids don't have to sleep in their childhood beds with pop star posters hanging on the walls and their parents demanding they "turn it down."
I may not be an HR person or a Gen Y personal branding guru, but let's just say I know a little bit more than I'd like about employment law, interviewing and being interviewed. Here's some no-nonsense advice you can use.
Can employers ask for your Facebook password?
Yes, they can, and a congressional amendment to block the practice was shot down recently. That said, Facebook doesn't think companies should ask for your username and password, and I agree. It's creepy and I don't think you're going to find reputable companies like Microsoft (MSFT) or Apple (AAPL) doing it. Still, it'...
What is and isn't discrimination?
Interviewers can ask just about any question they want, including your age, race and gender. It's dumb, but it is legal to ask. As Evil HR Lady Suzanne Lucas recently wrote, the interviewer can pretty much tell all that just by looking at you and your resume. And while it is illegal for them to use that information in ...
Should you interview the interviewer?
