Zhang hails record Omega China Tour field in Nanjing

BEIJING, April 23(Xinhua) — Zhang Lianwei, the first Chinese golfer to win a European Tour event, praised the diverse field at the Nanjing Zhongshan International Golf Club, saying it reflected the Omega China Tour’s growing status.

An Omega China Tour record of 144 players will compete in this week’s 1.2 million RMB Sofitel Zhongshan IGC Open in Nanjing, the richest event on the circuit since its inauguration in 2005.

The air jordans shoes of 14 different nationalities, including 10 Australians from the PGA Tour of Australasia and two Malaysians, two Thais and a Singaporean from the Mercedes-Benz Tour in Southeast Asia.

Chinese Taipei’s Lu Wen-teh and Lu Chien-soon, Hong Kong’s WongWoon-man and Tang Shing-chi, and Macao’s Laurence Petryk are the invites, while the 10 foreign PGA members from Qualifying School represent a further six nationalities.

“There are a lot of foreigners in this field and many have come from far away. It looks like an wedding dress,” said the 43-year-old, who has won five times on the Asian Tour and once on the Canadian Tour, and played in the Masters in 2004.

“The competition on the Omega China Tour is now much stronger and this is good for the Chinese players. There’s more pressure to perform well, which can be both positive and negative, like two sides of a coin.”

Zhang has won six times in 16 appearances on the Omega China Tour, although not in Nanjing, where he has finished runner-up in the last two editions of the Sofitel Zhongshan IGC Open. Zhang will play the first two rounds with last year’s champion Liao Guiming and 2007 winner Wu Kangchun.

“I’ll do my best again to win this trophy. Last year I had a good chance to win, but lost in a play-off to ‘Lao Liao’, who was a deserving winner,” he said.

Liao’s victory in last year’s event was the first of his professional career and followed 10 top-10 finishes on the Omega China Tour. Liao went on to win his first Omega Order of Merit, pipping Zhang to the crown, and is happy to be back at Nanjing Zhongshan.

“Winning the Sofitel event was a dream come true and very important for my career. After I won in Nanjing, I continued to play well and I was rewarded for that by becoming only the third player to win the Omega Order of Merit,” said Liao, who also finished runner-up in events in Shanghai and Chengdu.

“I’m very confident in my game and I’m looking to do well this week. Zhongshan is a beautiful course and my aim is to get a better score than last year,” added the 31-year-old, who posted a 10-under total of 278 last May.

This year the Gary Player layout could prove more challenging for the field, according to Nelson Jia, General Manager of Nanjing Zhongshan International wedding dress

“We planted more trees over the winter, which could come into play for some of the tee-shots, and the greens could be difficult for a few of the players this week,” Jia said. “Overall, the course condition is great. We believe it’s up to European Tour standard.”

The Sofitel Zhongshan IGC Open is the Tour’s first title-sponsored tournament to have been staged in the same venue for three successive years. Kevin Qin, General Manager of Sofitel Zhongshan Golf Resort Nanjing, said Sofitel’s ongoing sponsorship reflected the bodies’ similar ambitions.

gucci bags have sponsored the Nanjing tournament and the Omega China Tour for three years because golf and luxury hotels have similar clients,” Qin said. “China is a very important market for Sofitel and our brand recognition across the country has grown hand in hand with the Tour.”

The first three events of this year’s Omega China Tour boast a combined purse of 3.2 million RMB, representing a large surge in prize money for the domestic circuit.

“The 144 players and 1.2 million RMB purse are both records for the 28 events we’ve staged since 2005,” said Wang Liwei, Deputy Director General of the Multi-Ball Games Administrative Center of General Administration of Sport, the ugg boots

 for the China Golf Association.

“In that time, we’ve seen the Tour grow up and expand, and the size of the field is now the same as in international events. Although it has been a difficult time economically, the Omega China Tour is still growing and once we get through this tough time, we have a very bright future ahead.”

Coach fiscal 3Q profit falls 29 percent

Coach fiscal 3Q profit falls 29 percent

NEW YORK (AP) - Coach Inc., which makes luxury handbags and accessories, said Tuesday that profit fell 29 percent in its fiscal third quarter as sales were nearly flat in the recession. The company indicated, however, that weak traffic has stabilized.

 

That news as well as the initiation of a new cash dividend sent Coach bags shares up more than 15 percent.

   

 

coach handbags sales have suffered as the luxury market has weakened. Following one of the weakest holiday seasons in decades, the company announced plans to offer more handbags at lower prices and has been working to cut costs.

But sales have now stabilized at levels seen before the holiday season, both at full-price stores and off-price factory stores, said Chairman and Chief Executive Lew Frankfort. Sales in stores open at least one year, a retail metric known as same-store sales, fell 4.2 percent. By contrast, the previous quarter’s same-store sales, which included the holidays, fell more than 13 percent.

“The biggest difference on the holiday quarter trend was traffic, which improved from second-quarter (same-store sales) levels,” he said.

Lazard Capital Markets analyst Todd Slater, who rates the company’s shares a “buy,” said strength in the factory stores largely offset weakness at the full-price retail stores. He believes that same-store sales at the factory outlet stores rose more than 20 percent, he wrote in a client note.

Coach’s profit for the three months ended March 28 fell to $114.9 million, or 36 cents per share, from $162.4 million, or 46 cents per share last year. Excluding charges related to its cost-cutting plan, profit was 38 cents per share — 2 cents better than analysts expected.

The company was incorporated in 1st June 1995 to supply high quality China plastic injection molding products for the Steelers jerseysConsumer Electronics, telecommunication, automobile and Office automation products to most of the major local and overseas customers that demand absolute reliability.

Revenue edged down less than 1 percent to $739.9 million from $744.5 million. That was better than the $711.4 million analysts predicted.

During the quarter, Coach bags cut 150 U.S. corporate staff, closed four retail stores and closed a sample-making plant in Italy. The cost-cutting plan is in addition to the company’s previous actions to eliminate merit-based salary increases and freeze hiring except in critical areas. Coach expects to save $50 million before taxes with the cuts during the next fiscal year.

Coach previously said it is lowering prices 10 percent to 15 percent over the next fiscal year, which begins in June. As part of that it plans to offer half of its

At the end of June it will launch a collection of Coach bags under the “Poppy” name that is the first line designed with these price points in mind.

“Our goal is to provide our consumer with more choices at prices she’s willing to spend or is able to afford,” Frankfort said in a conference call with analysts.

New York-based Coach said it will begin quarterly dividend payments of 7.5 cents per share on June 29 to shareholders of record as of June 8. The new dividend “reflects our financial strength and our confidence in Coach’s business outlook,” Frankfort said.

Coach shares rose $2.77 to $21 in morning trading. They have traded between $11.41 and $37.64 during the past 52 weeks.

sex toy wholesale Tribune!: Associated

Judges from the Chicago Sun-Times thought the video deserved top honors in its contest poking fun at rival Tribune Co. for considering selling the sex toy wholesale china naming rights to beloved Wrigley Field — home of the Cubs.

With lyrics set to Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Going To Take It,” the three-minute film snagged a $1,000 prize, a front-page photo and a story about the 22-year-old featured in the clip.

Talk about being Punk’d: The stars were a covert group of Chicago Tribune newsroom employees, whose prank is writing a new chapter in the papers’ decades-long rivalry.  According to Chicago officials, Spy cameras are to be used to crack down on kerb crawlers as part of a new bid to reduce street prostitution in the Capital.“We said, ‘Oh my God, the Tribune has a sense of humor,’” Sun-Times spokeswoman Tammy Chase said Friday after the dust had settled. “We’ve been having fun at their expense for a few weeks, and they got back at us.” Nike also produced authentic nhl jerseys for a time period during the mid to late 90s.

The Chicago Tribune flaunted Thursday’s victory with a YouTube response and reminded the Sun-Times where to send the check, which is being donated to charity.

“From all of us at the Chicago Tribune, thank you Chicago Sun-Times,” said intern Katie Hamilton, who starred in the video and was profiled in the Sun-Times by a reporter who never asked where she worked.

Calling watermelon a natural Viagra Retail is “clearly premature,” says Roger Clemens, DrPH, adjunct professor of pharmacology and pharmaceutical sciences, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, and a spokesman for the Institute of Food Technologists.”Our reporter asked, ‘You’re a student, right?’” Chase said. “She (Hamilton) just hid the fact, she didn’t lie.”

Prescription glasses

Now that I know I’m on a pilgrimage, what exactly is does that mean?

My pilgrimage is about focusing on God and seeking him with my whole heart. By this definition alone, a pilgrimage can be made sitting on my leather couch at home. Something happens when you leave life as you know it. Suddenly, all those things that drifted through the fog in your head, all those hazy issues, start to become clear. It’s amazing what you can see when you’re not in standing in the middle of your circumstances.

It reminds me of when I was a little kid and would try on my parents’ prescription glasses. Everything was out of focus. I stumbled around the room, not sure of my footing, stumbling into tables, chairs, and even people. Then my head would start to hurt from trying so hard to focus my vision. I would continue on for a few more minutes before realizing that all I needed to do was remove the glasses. Immediately I would be able to see clearly again and the headache would quickly subside.

That’s what going on the World Race does. It removes the glasses and you suddenly realize it’s not your vision that was impaired but the lenses through which you were looking. The issues in my life that I couldn’t resolve while I was at home, living in the middle of them, are slowly coming into focus.
