The PFD or personal floating device is another key piece of gear that you can use while out on the river and should always have with you and on. There are several different types and it really depends on what use you need to put it to as to what you are going to buy. Dealing specifically with river rescue you are probably going to want a rescue jacket which is a little beefier, has a quick release belt with a quick release buckle here and we will go into more detail on that later. The points to remember when purchasing a PFD is that you want it to float you comfortable but you also want it to be coastguard approved so that for certain rivers, they will actually let you take it on them. Now this specific rescue PFD is a little beefier and better made or stronger so that you pulling on it is going to last. You also have most standard types of PFD and this one is specifically designed for freestyle kayaking. It is a little lower profile. It allows you more freedom of movement but it doesn't have as much flotation in it and it doesn't have the points of contact for tow bells, carabiner and all the extra equipment you need in a rescue situation. Beyond that it is just not going to float you as well so if you do take a swim or you need to enter the river, this one is going to be a little more appropriate and it is going to float you higher and keep you a little safer.

Worldprofit Sales Person of the Year, 2013 Women Nike Free Run 2 Grey White Teal Blue,Yahoo co founder Jerry Yang is about to find out that being a CEO is a lot different than being the ceremonious Chief Yahoo, as he was called until last month. Yang, who became Yahoo new CEO on June 18, faces a daunting to do list that includes reinvigorating the company, closing a performance gap with Google, thwarting challenges from social media sites such as , delivering financial results that make Wall Street cheer and charting a course for the future. His first deadline comes in about 100 days. Meanwhile, Yang development as CEO will be closely watched, including how he motivates employees and recruits talent. Yang took over for Yahoo CEO Terry Semel, who resigned after six years at the helm, during which Yahoo lost search market share and ad revenue to Google, failed to innovate in the display advertising business and fell behind on the delivery of a new advertising system called Panama. One advantage Yang has is that he an insider. He founded Yahoo along with David Filo in 1994 and has been involved with the company ever since. But he has never held the CEO position, and it unclear whether he will be able to lead a company that has grown and changed so rapidly since its days as a startup. Yang, for his part, sounds confident. I only been in the CEO role for about a month, I co founded this company and I been thinking about our place in this industry for over 15 years, said Yang on the company second quarter earnings conference call on July 17. may not have all the answers as of today, but I have a pretty strong idea of where I want to go. There will be no sacred cows and we need to move very quickly. The company reported net income of $161 million, or 11 cents a share, on revenues of $1.24 billion, a sum that excludes traffic acquisition costs. Yahoo earnings were flat compared to a year ago, but revenue was up 11%. The company also lowered its expectations for the second half of 2007. Meanwhile, Yahoo rival Google reported second quarter net income of $925 million, or $2.93 a share, on revenues of $2.72 billion. Google revenue figure also excludes traffic acquisition costs. intend to spend the next 100 days or so focused on mapping out a strategic plan for long term success, working with our teams to put the right organization and the right people in place, and making any necessary changes, said Yang during the conference call. Some Wall Street analysts have portrayed Yang as a caretaker for another CEO or as an interim solution ahead of a buyout a claim Yang vehemently denies. Others say Yang credibility within Yahoo and his passion can reinvigorate company morale. Why the divided opinion? Yang doesn necessarily fit the mold of founders returning to the top position. Apple founder Steve Jobs left the company and returned as CEO to create two big hits, the iPod and the iPhone. Michael Dell was CEO of his namesake company and recently returned amid the PC maker missteps in product design and customer service. The common thread between Dell and Jobs: Both were CEOs before. Yang has no such track record. doesn fit the CEO mold and lacks management experience. I had expected the company to bring in an outsider, says David Hsu, management professor at Wharton. Like Jobs and Dell, Yang is a founder, but he never led a company the size of Yahoo, which had 11,800 employees as of April 1. Yang has said his goals are to simplify Yahoo, move faster, be a vital partner for advertisers and publishers, and recruit talent. an insider is comforting to the organization as current employees see one of their own in charge, says Wharton management professor Peter Cappelli. also know a lot, especially about the culture of the organization and what is important to preserve. Founders, in particular, have an advantage in that they remind employees of what were, in Yahoo case, more glorious days. Experts at Wharton say that Yang biggest priorities should be boosting employee morale and finding key insiders to promote into leadership roles. Yang has said that recruiting talent internally or externally is one of his biggest goals. Since December, Yahoo has lost chief operating officer Daniel Rosensweig, chief technology officer Farzad Nazem and chief sales officer Wenda Harris Millard, among others. Hsu says that Yang should play to his strengths, including his knowledge of Yahoo inner workings. Since Yang already knows the internal landscape, he in the best position to identify future leaders from within. Wharton management professor Keith Weigelt agrees. would look for talent internally first rather than recruiting it, he says. you look externally first, people inside wonder, wrong with our people? He has to mine Yahoo and then find the most talented employees. According to Kartik Hosanagar, Wharton professor of operations and information management, Yang should have little difficulty boosting morale. and techies will see Yang as a founder, a techie, the one with the original vision for Yahoo. All these are positive influences. So, Yang is better for employee morale than an outsider. Hosanagar argues that Yang has to do four things to get employees excited. He needs to develop processes to identify internal employees with the most potential, create an incubator so employee ideas can become reality, and hire a few outsiders, preferably well respected leaders in programming and research to compete with Google technology prowess. Finally, Yahoo needs to address its compensation structure, given that stock options at the company aren much of an incentive relative to competitors such as Google. It likely that Yahoo has these strategies in place but needs to execute them better, says Hosanagar. Put Wall Street on the Back Burner Experts at Wharton were unanimous in their opinion that Yang shouldn lose sleep over what Wall Street thinks. may be hard for Yang to be taken seriously by Wall Street as a professional CEO, says Hosanagar. perception of being a caretaker rather than a leader is another issue. However, he can worry about it. These [issues] are easily addressed by earnings figures. A couple of successful earnings reports will change perception. In the short term, Weigelt adds, won satisfy Wall Street. He should avoid the short term right now and focus on the long term. He has to worry about the inside people first the culture and operations and then the investment community. Yang appears to be already sticking to this script. On Yahoo earnings conference call, he noted that the company is in mode as it looks for new opportunities. These investments are likely to increase expenses and cut earnings. Weigelt also suggests that Yang should follow Google lead and stop projecting future earnings. has too much on his plate. Why worry about that [Wall Street guidance] now? Yahoo, however, still provides analysts with a future outlook. The company projected third quarter revenues of $1.17 billion to $1.2 billion, and revenues for the year of $4.89 billion to $5.19 billion. According to Cappelli, a preoccupation with Wall Street may be why Yang indicated that his strategy will be unveiled in 100 days. The 100 day reference is often mentioned in political campaigns, but has been increasingly used by executives. 100 day action plan has become popular, especially when there is pressure from the financial markets to show that there is some change in direction, says Cappelli. Indeed, Yang strategic plan will be closely scrutinized. In a research note, Colin Gillis, an analyst at Canaccord Adams, a Vancouver based investment bank, said his rating on Yahoo shares largely depends on Yang vision. compelling and forward vision for Yahoo could rate a buy if execution appears reasonable. A rehash of existing web 2.0 technologies may cause us to move to sell, particularly if we start to sense that it going to take a different CEO to turn Yahoo in the correct direction. No one knows for sure what will be in Yahoo new strategy, but Hsu says there are time worn paths to follow when creating a new mission. has to really concentrate on surrounding himself with experienced people and be more willing to listen to new ideas. During the 100 days, he should conduct a brainstorming session and be freewheeling with different models. More importantly, Yang has to weed out businesses that don work and double down on the ones that do well, adds Hsu. Yahoo is also the dominant player in Japan and has started new services such as Yahoo Answers that have been well received. While Yahoo doesn break out revenue contributions for most of those properties, they contribute to buzz about the company. Flickr, which Yahoo acquired in March 2005, will replace Yahoo previous Yahoo Photos site. Yahoo efforts, however, haven been able to land new audiences in the same way as and MySpace, which are drawing traffic away from traditional portals like Yahoo. Hosanagar says Yahoo is likely to address two needs: pulling even with Google on search, and targeting social media. would try to match Google on basic search which it sort of manages to do today but focus more on emerging media like audio, video, mobile and local. [A lot of] growth will be there. Yahoo biggest problem in search today is perception on the part of consumers and advertisers. On the consumer side, search quality is comparable, but Google enjoys significant brand advantages. On the advertiser side, the problem is far more than just perception. Clicks from the Google network convert to purchases at a higher rate than at Yahoo, says Hosanagar. To build its social media standing, Yahoo is likely to pursue acquisitions. However, it should also explore options to partner or acquire [companies like] or MySpace. I also focus on building social media/apps for mobile and video on demand, adds Hosanagar. Hsu suggests, however, that focusing on social media and search is not going to take Yahoo far into the future. Regarding search, the best Yahoo can hope for is parity with Google algorithms. And social media may not be a big strategic advantage in the future. Instead, Yahoo must create a strategic plan that will enable it to leapfrog Google. And that means predicting the future, says Hsu. Yahoo strategic plan may be fine for diagnosing ills and fixing them, but vision will be critical. Yahoo has to find next big source of revenue, whether it advertising led revenue or something else. It will take some assessment and broader thinking, says Weigelt, adding that it likely Yahoo has the kernel for these new opportunities inside its headquarters. He argues that Yahoo isn a broken company, just a fallen giant that needs better execution. Kendall Whitehouse, senior director of information technology at Wharton, says Yahoo last big bet to become more like a media company while downplaying technology wasn very successful. The current web 2.0 trends have made technology key to providing a platform where consumers can generate their own content and up existing text, audio and video in their own blogs and web sites. Yahoo, getting a little geekier may be better in the short run, says Whitehouse. He contends, however, that Yahoo shouldn completely run away from the media roots it established during the Semel years. are three big variables: content, platform, and the user experience. The sweet spot is all three of them. One bet Yahoo could pursue is technology that increases how long a customer stays on a Yahoo site, Whitehouse adds. On July 10, Nielsen/Netratings, a web traffic tracking firm, said it will begin measuring how long customers stay on a site instead of just counting the number of page views. The new measurements are designed to account for sites hosting rich media like video and audio and next generation applications that don require a new web page to load on every click.
Where Can i Buy Cheap Women Nike Free Run 2 Grey White Teal Blue,Nike Roshe Run Men Grey Volt HOUSTON The Miami Marlins know what they need to do to get back into the National League post season picture. With timely hitting and good pitching, the Marlins are one win away from sweeping the slumping Houston Astros. Giancarlo Stanton hit a three run double, and Jordany Valdespin added a two run home run to power the Marlins to a 7 3 victory over Houston on Saturday night. Stanton's double in the second inning broke a 2 2 tie. Christian Yelich had two hits, including an RBI single as part of the four run frame. Valdespin hit his first homer of the season in the ninth off Chad Qualls. The Marlins have won six of seven. "To come here and to keep going and to keep competing and keeping that good feeling going, I'm very happy," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "We're going to be tested. A lot of good teams left to play and a lot of ground to make up, but I'm very happy with where we're at right now." Stanton said a sweep against the Astros would put the Marlins in a good position. "We have to get sweeps in series like this," Stanton said. "You always say you sweep guys like this, and you stay afloat against the guys on the top. A sweep is three games gained instead of one." The Marlins were able to capitalize on starter Jarred Cosart's wildness when he walked the bases loaded in the second, setting up the run scoring hits by Yelich and Stanton. "It's just who is able to capitalize the most is who is able to stay afloat and win games," Stanton said. "You aren't always going to be able to capitalize, but the more you do, the more you are going to be in good shape. We've been doing all right lately." Tom Koehler (7 7) gave up three runs and nine hits with two strikeouts in five innings. "I walked that tight rope that whole day and fortunately enough, I stayed balanced enough to get through five," Koehler said. "I handed it over to the bullpen who did a great job." Jason Castro had two hits, including a two run home run in the first that put the Astros up 2 1. Jose Altuve added three hits for Houston, which lost its fourth straight and fell a season high 20 games below .500 (42 62). Cosart (9 7) allowed five runs and seven hits with four strikeouts and four walks in 5 2 3 innings. The right hander has struggled in July, allowing 21 runs in 21 1 3 innings over four starts. "Tale of two innings, obviously," Cosart said. "Pretty self explanatory. It's the same as always when I have a bad game. I just didn't throw strikes." Carter cut the lead to 5 3 with an RBI single in the fifth. Casey McGehee gave Miami a 1 0 lead with an RBI single in the first. Houston left runners in scoring position in each inning from the second to the seventh. Altuve and Marwin Gonzalez started the third with singles before Carter lined a ball to Koehler that went off the right hander's back and was caught by shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria. Koehler struck out Castro and Matt Dominguez to end the inning. "It was kind of weird," Koehler said of the out. "It used my back as a ramp to get to (Hechavarria). We looked, and after icing my shoulder, my shoulder was redder than my back. There is not really proof that I got hit, which is good." The Astros went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position against Koehler and finished 1 for 12 overall. "We had some opportunities and, you know, had the right guys out there," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "We hit one line drive off the pitcher's back or shoulder and the short stop catches the ball. It's just one of those things. We had some opportunities. We were just not able to get the big hit." NOTES: After the game, Houston placed RHP Josh Zeid on the disabled list with a left foot injury. The Astros also optioned RHP Brad Peacock to Triple A Oklahoma City to work on his fastball command, Porter said. LHP Brett Oberholtzer will start in Peacock's place Monday against Oakland. . Houston RHP Collin McHugh will be activated from the disabled list to start on Sunday. McHugh, 4 8 with a 3.28 ERA, has been out since July 7 because of an injury to his right middle finger. McHugh, who last started in the majors on July 6 in a loss at the Los Angeles Angels, threw five innings in a rehab outing Tuesday for Oklahoma City. Miami will start RHP Jacob Turner, 3 6 with a 6.03 ERA. . Gonzalez returned to the lineup after missing Friday's game because of soreness in his right hamstring. Women Nike Free Run 2 Grey White Teal Blue I guess I'm in the opposite camp I wouldn't let LO go to bed with her shoes on if she tried, even if it meant a tantrum for a night or two. One of my pet peeves is when I see a kid wearing clothes that are either not weather or occasion appropriate because their parents didn't want to fight with them about it. I don't care if clothes match, but there is a time and a place for things like shoes, winter coats, recital costumes, and pajamas, and kids need to be taught when certain things are appropriate and parents need to enforce such things. I say, let them be kids and be a little silly. If the bottom of her shoes are clean, I'd let her wear them to bed for a night or two. She'd prob kick them off in an hour anyway. If the small little things like that makes them happy then what's truly the harm? If your child is well behaved and you don't give into every little thing then let her have this. If I was guilting on it all night, I'd prob put them on her right before she woke up to surprise her. Just imagine her little face waking up to them on!!! :D My LO wore her shoes to bed one night last week I thought my husband took them off her when he tucked her in but he said she refused. I do agree the germs ick but I just make sure to wash her sheets. She normally wears her slippers to bed which she is only allowed to wear in the house. (That I will fight) Oh and she also wears princess dress up costumes out if the house at least once a week and usually has some crazy outfit on because I let her wear what ever she wants. I try for weather appropriate but that doesn't always happen as long as its not too cold I let her go with out a sweatshirt and just bring it in the car but she has yet to ask for it. (And yes I check to make sure she isn't too cold and just being stubborn)
