NORTH BLOOMFIELD, Ohio (WYTV) – Almost a year after she disappeared from her great grandparent's North Bloomfield home for close to 48 hours, now 3-year-old Rainn Peterson is thriving.
"This little girl knows how to count to 10, she knows how to sing the alphabet song, she knows all her shapes and all her colors," said grandmother Dora Peterson.
Two-years-old at the time of the incident, Rainn's disappearance triggered a massive manhunt with hundreds of law enforcement, emergency responders and volunteers. She was found two days later in a field less than a mile from the home.
But there's still many unanswered questions about what happened when she was gone.
"It's always going to be there as to, 'Why? How? What for? To prove what?' Peterson said.
"We couldn't understand how she could stay outside the whole time," said Tim Schaffner of Trumbull County Children's Services. "So that remains a puzzle and a mystery we hope someday will be solved."
Peterson said that Rainn may have mentioned something about the incident just days ago.
"It just came out of the blue — but I don't know if it's just a childhood imagination or what," she said.
Nonetheless, a year later, the mystery is no closer to being solved.
"Everywhere you turn, there's a red flag coming up," Trumbull County Sheriff Tom Altiere said. "But we just can't seem to pinpoint anything or get any evidence that there was anything unlawful."
Altiere called the investigation stalled for right now, but believes there's someone out there who has the missing piece to this puzzle.
"There's so many doubts — so many, you know, we wonder about so many things," he said. "It's just, we need to know the truth."

Audi will launch four new RS models this year!
To mark the 30th anniversary of its high-performance division Quattro GmbH (founded in October 1983), Audi will launch four new RS models this year, while also promising that future RS cars will be brought to market more quickly.
The four new RS models that will launch this year are the RS6 Avant, RS7 Sportback, RS5 Cabriolet (all made at Quattro's Neckarsulm facility) and RS Q3, the first SUV to be turned into an RS model. These new four cars will basically double Quattro's range of RS models.
Until recently, Audi's strategy was to offer only one RS model at any time to boost sales of a range approaching the end of its life. However, now it is pushing RS as a sub-brand, increasing its range of models.

T-Mobile is slated to usher in the third phase of its Uncarrier initiative this evening and there is plenty of buzz as to what might be announced. We've previously heard of refurbished devices in stores, free calls to Mexico, and/or removing deposits for well-qualified buyers. The latest, which comes only hours ahead of the unveiling, seems to make the most sense: T-Mobile could offer data plans with international roaming.
The images above come courtesy of a Shakira fansite and foretell at least one of tonight's new details. Sure, it could be a fake, however, the colors and photo of the international pop star feel legit. Plus, it's the same picture used in the official invite, albeit pulled back a bit.
We don't much in the way of details however the phrasing of "passport" and global coverage definitely line up with the invitation. Remember how T-Mobile said not to "miss it for the world"? Data coverage in more than 100 countries doesn't get much more worldly.
We'll find out in short order what T-Mobile has up its sleeve!

Aaaaawsome detail...
If any of you are looking for a truly professional buff, Kevin (a.k.a "Picus") at "GTA in Detail" is your man.
This is not just an average detailing job.....more so...the correct lingo is "Paint Correction".
During this 6 hour multi-step process, Kevin rejuvenated and restored my Individual "336 Agaischblau/Aegean Blue Metallic" paint to it's former glory.
Keep in mind that my '03 540i only has 50K on the odometer and anyone that has seen it can attest to it's mint condition.
Though when Kevin initially flooded his halogen lighting on it, I :puke: in disbelief.....swirl/scratch galore.
I bought my car 2nd hand and always knew that my paint had more in it.
Once Kevin did his magic, those gorgeous blue metallic flakes came back to the forefront, just the way I imagined my car should look.
Spent the next hour in my garage.....sitting on a chair...just wowed by her beauty.
I'll be at the next 5er meet, if anyone wants to check out what I'm yapping about.
If any of you were a little apprehensive, in the past, about dropping +/- $350 on getting this highly skilled work done, let me rest you assured that it is worth every penny.
Off to looking at my car some more.....damn addictive...:eek:*love*:D
THNX and respect to you, Kevin !
pics and price range
Pictures would be greatly appreciated, I wanna see! It sounds great!
Sorry, people.....I'm a little anal about posting pics of my ride online...though anyone is welcome to PM me, if they want to drop by or see my ride at ~> http://maxbimmer.com/forums/showthre...=1#post1303241
Kevin charges $60/hr and I would post a link to his web site, but am not sure if that's cool with the mods, since we already have a detailing sponor on this forum (though Kevin's work is radically different from regular detailing).
I'm happy you enjoyed working on my car (we sure lucked out w/ the weather).
If my neighbour decides to hire your services, tag me on for an early morning wash (otherwise, as discussed, I'll wait 'til the fall).
I'll have my summers on by then and that way you can clay, polish & wax em for me.
Posting my pics on your pics page is fine.....just don't like em on the forums...that's all.
See ya !

Does anyone know how you find unread messages in a forum, and also where the old control panel is?
Unread messages link is in the gray bar below the "Forum" tab along with the "Whats new tab".
Your control panel links are on the right hand side of the page above the search box and will start with " Welcome Robert Besen "
Steve, I think the improvement is in the "front end" which is a bit easier to sort through.
The "look and feel" is a matter of taste; I had no quarrel with the before but I will get used to it.
Needs a "quick link" at the bottom to return us to the Sony page.
I for one am still trying to get used to the changes. I'm sure after a bit I won't give it a second thought.

Casino expansion stokes pokie debate
One of the main social service organisations in the Northern Territory says it is seeing an increasing number of people in trouble because of problem gambling.
Vicki O'Halloran of Somerville Community Services says it is becoming more common for middle-income earners to find themselves in financial strife.
She says the number of places with poker machines and the hours they operate is concerning.
"Are we encouraging people who would never gamble to try to stretch that dollar further by having too many accessible venues for poker machines?" she asked.
Ms O'Halloran says there should be a consultation process about new poker machines.
The Territory Justice Department says it is still considering whether it will allow an extra 100 gaming machines at Lasseter's casino in Alice Springs.
The casino has already begun expansion work that will include space to house the machines.
The department says its deal with the casino means it does not have to consult the public about the casino's application.
But Ms O'Halloran says service organisations should have a say.
"[That is] because we are dealing with the people at the coal face who are really struggling on a day-to-day basis," she said.
"Consultation can be a great source of information."
Territory Gaming Minister Delia Lawrie also says she has concerns about the plans for 100 new poker machines at the Alice Springs casino.
"We are in the midst of a national debate around harm minimisation measures when it comes to pokie machines," she said.
"So I would be looking forward to having a meeting with Lasseter's to discuss any ideas that they have."

Ford Model
Hi Hotashel, Thank you for your support. The garage, "Dinnages of Worthing", had said as it was only a minor problem I would have to pay, I have to admit that this just about reduced me to tears as I didn't know where to turn too, but thanks to your support I got on to Ford Customer Care who where equally unhelpful initialy saying that I should take it back to my supplier, (Motorpoint who are neary 200 miles away), however I held out and threatened them with Trading Standards and eventually they had a chat with the garage and agreed to give it another try and that Ford CC would monitor the situation. After 4 hrs they phoned me back and said that they had found loose seatbet mountings, (and they had stated previously that whatever it was "it was only a minor problem" - I THINK NOT). I am pleased to advise that the problem has now been fixed. Thanks again Hotashel. Kind regards Gilbert
Fiesta Rear tapping noise
Gilbert posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI'm in my 80's. My 9month old Fiesta Style has an annoying tapping noise at both rear sides. The dealer has had it in 3 times and has not found the problem but admits that its there. They will not take it in again without me paying. They have looked underneath the car and have checked everything is tight and have changed the bearings in the rear seat belts to no avail. Can anybody help with this please?

LETTERS; The Perfect Word
Published: January 3, 2010
To the Editor:
Barry Gewen's sumptuous summary of the Johnny Mercer oeuvre (Dec. 6) concluded with a paragraph on ''Moon River.'' I have an audio tape of ''Johnny Mercer at the 92nd Street Y,'' recorded from a WGBH radio broadcast from many years ago.
In it, Mercer sang many of his personal favorites, accompanying himself on the piano. His elucidation of the phrase ''my huckleberry friend'' was a surprise: he said the word just popped into his head. No premeditation, just a flash of inspiration -- and it had the requisite number of syllables. So put the ''immortal'' huckleberry down to Johnny just being Johnny. He ranks with the serious Broadway lyricists/composers.

TITLE: A Crisis in America
By gene hudgens
Think about this whether you consider the military as a career or consider entering the military only for a year or two. Realize that the entire U. S. Armed Forces accounts for only one percent of the American population and the other 99 % (especially too many of our government leaders), are not interested in adequately caring for the individuals in the America military. This "one percent" does 100 % of the dangerous hard work of providing security and defense for America and all Americans. The America media continually fails to properly educate all Americans of the sad situation of this one-sided devotion and patriotism.
Like no other profession, the military is most needed, least understood, least respected, and under paid professional in America.
The pay scale for the military is far below the "fairness" level. No other occupation or profession in America demands that its members sign a contract stating their willingness to die for their country. Police and firefighters are expected to face dangers, but they can quit their job any minute. A military member can be court-martialed for disobeying an order.
Beware that some unscrupulous politicians will attempt to pass on to you the faults they have and add some extras just for you.
American government leaders lied to present veterans and retirees regarding their promise to provide free medical care for those military members that served twenty or more honorable years of military service.
Today too many unscrupulous government leaders do not want to pay for immediate adequate medical care, and life-long rehabilitation for the military members that are wounded in war. They still do not want to keep their promise to retirees. There is a serious problem when 99 % of the American population (that is never in harms-way) (never gets wounded) (never gets killed in war) are not willing to pay all and every expense necessary to quickly provide (its military) the best medical care in America…regardless of the cost. What else is this 99 % asked to do to protect America?
The present situation is so serious that America's survival is at stake. Americans are foolish if they expect the "all volunteer" military concept to succeed when this one percent of America's population is not adequately cared for. The American voters must act immediately.
The reinstatement of the DRAFT is necessary. It is only fair that the defense of our America be equally shared by all citizens regardless of their social status. Every citizen needs to be eligible for call-up for military duty when needed. Every citizen needs to feel the responsibility of defending America, suffering the separation of family, the hardships of military service, and be equally exposed to the dangers of physical injuries and death.
If the DRAFT is not reinstated then big changes in attitude and actions must be INITIATED.
The 99% of America's citizens that are never in harms-way must quickly do what ever is necessary to adequately care for the 1% that does all of the "hard and dirty" work of militarily defending America.
The "best" medical care available in America must be provided to all active military members, veterans, and retirees in a timely manner…with no restrictions. All wounded and disabled veterans and all retirees must be provided free medical care…"for life".
The unfair and inhuman FSPA (Former Spouse Protection Act) needs to be eliminated. The military profession must become one of America's higher paid professions if the all volunteer concept is to survive. Avoid waking-up some morning and finding that America's military is a Mercenary Army made-up members that claim English as their second language. American's media must be held responsible for positively supporting America's military members and not acting as traitors as was the case during the 'Jane Fonder days of the Vietnam War.
God Bless America!

(Comprehensive Guide to Short Stories, Critical Edition)
An extract from the Koran that serves as prologue to the story hints at the miracle of the title. It tells of a person whom God has made die over the course of a hundred years. To this person, the time that has passed has been "a day, or part of a day."
The story itself begins on the night of March 14, 1939, in an apartment in Prague. It is the home of Jaromir Hladik, an author, whose principal works include an unfinished play and two scholarly volumes, one entitled Vindication of Eternity, the other a study of Jewish sources of the seventeenth century Christian mystic Jakob Boehme.
Hladik dreams of a centuries-long chess game whose opponents are two prominent families and whose forgotten prize is rumored to be infinite. The chessboard itself is set up in a secret tower. In his dream, Hladik is the first-born son of one of the families, and as he runs to make the next move, he realizes that he cannot remember the rules of the game. At this point, Hladik awakes to the sound of Nazi soldiers marching down his street.
Five days later, Hladik is arrested because of his Jewish blood and his inquiries into Jewish sources. Julius Rothe, the Nazi official who must decide Hladik's fate, is convinced of Hladik's importance from a catalogue listing. This listing was prepared by the publisher of Hladik's translation of the Sepher Yezirah, an early work of Jewish mysticism. Ignorant of the world of scholarship, and...

Nicole and Keith were sitting on a park bench, and out of the blue Keith asked: "How is your heart?"
Nicole answered: "It's open."
If that was just any Nicole and any Keith, then that exchange would have drifted into lover-talk obscurity. But this Nicole was Kidman, and this Keith was Urban. And for the rest of the story, you can listen to Urban's new album, "Defying Gravity," or come to his concert Wednesday at the Times Union Center.
The man's in love, and that resounds in his songs and performances. He's so happy that he's defying gravity since marrying Kidman in 2006, completing a rehabilitation program for alcohol abuse and becoming a father. Kidman gave birth to their daughter in July last year.
"I'm very fortunate to have my wife and the arrival of our daughter, a new family, you know," Urban says by phone from his tour bus a few hours before a concert last month in Portland, Ore. "For the particular journey that I've been on the last couple of years, the love for my family has been just extraordinary.
"And so, when I went in to write for this record, the songs all started to have this thematic energy about them. They took on that very strong sort of celebratory, positive tone."
"Defying Gravity" was released in March and hit No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart. It also topped the country charts in the U.S. and Canada.
It is the sixth American album from Urban, 41, born in New Zealand, raised in Australia and reared on his father's country records. And it's in the running for Country Music Association album of the year. When the finalists were announced last month, Urban received five CMA nominations, including male vocalist and entertainer of the year. He has already won four CMA awards and two Grammys.
He's often described as brash, but during this interview he is gracious, thoughtful and candid. He comes across as a sensitive man. The songs on his new album reflect that, including the song born from the discussion on the park bench, "My Heart Is Open."
"It's from a moment I had early on when my wife and I started dating," Urban says. "I asked her how her heart was. I'm not quite sure where the question came from. It was an unusual question, I think in hindsight. It's not something I'd ever asked anybody before, or perhaps even thought about.
"And I said, 'How is your heart?'
"And she said, 'It's open.'
"I was really taken aback by the answer, because it wasn't an answer that I was expecting. It was a beautiful answer. And it made me wonder about my own heart, if maybe my heart could be a little more open."
That leads back to the songs on "Defying Gravity."
"I think another theme that started to appear on this record was the question about the courage to love," he says. "It's one thing to write songs about love, and wanting love, not being able to find love, and losing love. But in that one line my wife sort of opened up this questioning of myself, 'Is my heart really open?'
"And so, when I was looking for a title for the record, there's a line in one of the songs that refers to defying gravity, and I thought, 'That's really what this record's about. It's about love … but also holding onto my faith and my hopes and my dreams and determination and passion. All of these strengths of our human spirit, if you will, are all of these things that defy gravity."
To bring the songs to the public, Urban assembled what he describes as "the biggest production we've brought out," including, for the first time, his own stage, which the crew transports from concert to concert.
"My goal for the tour was to get a stronger sense of connection between us and the audience, where we can minimize security and security barriers," he says. "So the stage is designed much lower than normal, because I wanted to replicate that vibe in a club where you can put your hands on the stage and lean on the stage.
"There's something great about that for an audience, but there's also something great for us as performers. Sometimes the arena situation starts to get a bit sterile. It all starts to feel a bit disconnected. And so I was trying to find a way to get everything lower, closer to the crowd, getting rid of all security people at the front, and letting everybody feel much more a part of it."
Urban uses two stages in the audience. He plays a few songs on a stage among the rear seats on the arena floor.
"And then we have another stage, which is portable," he says. "It's getting harder to surprise an audience, because everything goes up on YouTube, and everyone talks, and sort of everything gets given away. So I thought, 'Let's have a roving stage that can be moved from night to night, and no one will be quite sure where it's going to end up.'"
Six days after his Albany show, Urban and Vince Gill will co-host a star-studded concert in Nashville to benefit the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Urban says that's a way to give back to the community "that's been so good to me." He moved halfway around the world in 1992 to make music in Nashville. It's now home to his family.
He also supports the museum because he appreciates county music history. What he finds most interesting, he says, is the pendulum of country music that swings from traditional to pop to country-rock. The music remains popular, he says, because it finds ways of taking on current styles that make it relevant to the time.
"I've had people say, 'That's not really country what you do,'" Urban says. "Hindsight is what's needed before you can say something's not country enough, because I guarantee that in 20 years when Shania Twain's being played on classic country stations, it'll make a lot of sense."
So where does Urban's music fall on that pendulum?
"I'll let you know in 20 years," he says.

text: >I hesitate to simultaneously disagree with both Bill and Craig, but I >think you should file a bug report. The purpose of the IEEE modules >is to allow people to do useful work on machines that have a variety >of floating point interrupt models.

I agree. The argument that "imprecise" means you never trap (an infinite delay!) is not convincing. It is certainly not what we meant. We could have made the "imprecise" statement more, well, precise -- but that would have been a lot of words to cover an obviously-pathological interpretation when it is clear that we meant "as soon as you can without causing an undue performance penalty when no exception is being raised". BTW, this is not helped by the variation in hardware support; on some machines the instructions that set the flags cause an interrupt if halting is enabled, on others setting the flags does not cause an interrupt ever. I could be wrong, but I think that on x86 setting the flags in the x87 status register causes an interrupt but setting them in the SSE status register does not, so on one machine both behaviours. Ugh. IMO it is the responsibility of the Fortran processor to cover up these low-level hardware un-niceties. It is not so difficult - e.g. instead of setting INVALID using the instruction, do something like adding +INF to -INF. This probably causes a microscopic slowdown in code that calls IEEE_SET_FLAG in an inner loop, but it's better than not giving the user the right semantics. Otherwise we have to tell the users "don't use IEEE_SET_FLAG, add +INF and -INF yourself if you want to set INVALID" - i.e. there would have been no point in providing IEEE_SET_FLAG if it didn't work properly.

Two wildflowers that I have wanted to photograph are blooming in profusion on Flagstaff Mountain today. I was surprised.
My expectations when I go out for a hike are usually pretty low. In that way you may say that I am a pessimist. I tell myself that I would be happy to get one good shot.
But I am an optimistic pessimist. When I see a photo possibility — whether it's a flower that I would have to climb to or a bee or butterfly about to land, I get ready for it.
Today's hike was between 6,000 and 7,000 feet — close to home and lower that where I expected wildflowers in bloom at this time of the year. I hiked up the appropriately named Range Front Trail. It offered sweeping views of the Indian Peaks like this one near the start of the hike:
This is one of places that I hike most often. It's not only close to home but offers either a short or longer loop. Today I took the longer one, continuing on to the Boy Scout Trail and returning by way of the Ute Trail.
Here I found not only beautiful wildflowers but also beautiful bugs. LIke this amazing dragonfly:
That was the biggest bug I saw today. But hardly the only one:
The two wildflowers that I had looked forward to seeing in the wild seemed to attract bees and bugs as much as me. This bee is not only helping itself but also pollenating this prickly pear flower:
Here are several prickly pear cactus flowers together:
Another plant that some people think of as a cactus always reminds me of growing up in the San Gabriel Mountains. I will never forget the experience of involuntarily sitting down on the sharp points of a yucca in our yard.
I had also been looking forward to seeing mariposa lilies in bloom. They remind me of the Mercedes emblem:

Kids are always fascinated by fairy tales. These stories, though fictional, also contain some underlying meanings and also serve as moral stories apart from being a enchanting tale. Reading books is always a very good habit which must be encouraged from a very tender age. Gifting children fairy tales is a great way to ensure that they soon get into this habit.
Here is a list of some of the most beautiful fairy tales of all times:
1. Cinderella: The story of a simple girl who wins over a prince.
2. Rapunzel: A princess trapped in a high tower oblivious of the fact that she is a princess. Who will save her?
3. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: The magic mirror proclaims Snow White as the fairest, frightened she flees into the forest and befriends seven loving dwarfs. What happens next?
4. Beauty and the Beast: Can the Beauty really turn the Beast?
5. The Ugly Duckling: Shunted by her peers for being different can the duckling find her place?
6. Alladin: The Arabian Nights tale of a thief who ultimately wins over the kingdom.
7. The Gingerbread Man: An ideal story for the kids.
8. Sleeping Beauty: Who will wake up the beautiful princess from her indefinite sleep, and how?

Crespi Collection with Pyramid and Paleo- Hebrew Writing (Hamby Ref. 4)
Thank you. Then it's Paleo Hebrew. I thought as much. That puts this cave stuff to bed.
Those objects were likely plunder imported here on a Spanish Ship that had not returned yet to Spain with it's cargo. That was common as voyages lasted for many years and they would visit multiple locations. Probably a Spaniard's stash that was found.
Yes, very iffy, but even if what you say is true about being plunder from the spanish conquistadors.... it is still an intersting find none the less....edit on 24-7-2012 by DARREN1976 because: spelling...
I agree. Even if what I suggested is the case it's still very interesting.
The cave stuff appears to be a linking of rumors and myths. Perhaps stemming from a confidence person's attempt to acquire funding.

Just to help clarify things on the elephants, there were elephant-like creatures that didn't go extinct in South America until roughly 4,000 BC. The two that lived the longest and have been found at other sites are Cuvieronius and Stegomastodon. Both look a lot like what is in the metal and would be shorter elephant-like creatures that they could have lived side by side with.
It took a little digging to find what species lived there recently, but, me personally, I think that is dead on as to what was put into the tablet.

Marilyn Monroe remained mostly indoors most of the times during her last session before leaving this world. In August five nineteen hundred sixty two receiving the call from the house keeper the doctor of her arrived soon at her residence, her doctor reached at the house and when no one is opening the door the doctor peered the view through the window and saw the actress's naked body on the bed. Still to date there is no entirely and the convincing account of Marilyn's death has been established. Then, most flavored reason to this death till to date is accidental overdose is crowded with ridicule, doubts and contradictions

Hewlett-Packard is due to release its Q2 earnings on May 22. In the previous quarter, HP delivered better than expected results as revenues were flat and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share improved by 10% to $0.90. The company bucked the secular downturn in PC industry, and posted growth in PC sales. However, a tough business environment continued to affect its profitability across geographies and other verticals. During the quarter, the company has taken prudent steps such as the launch of new products and services to reinvigorate its business lines. We expect that weak enterprise demand for HP's services will continue to impact HP's revenues across its business divisions.
Outlook for Q2 and 2014
For Q2 FY14, HP estimates non-GAAP diluted net EPS in the range of $0.85 to $0.89 and GAAP diluted net EPS in the range of $0.62 to $0.66. For fiscal 2014, HP estimates non-GAAP diluted net EPS between $3.60 and $3.75 and GAAP diluted net EPS between $2.85 and $3.00. Fiscal 2014 non-GAAP diluted net EPS estimates exclude after-tax costs of approximately $0.75 per share, related primarily to the amortization of intangible assets and restructuring charges.
Divisional Revenues In The Scanner
Due to a weak macroeconomic environment, a slowing PC market and restructuring efforts, we expect the company to post a marginal decline in revenue across most of its divisions. However, we expect revenues from the PC hardware division to grow. For most of the other divisions, we project mid-single-digit decline in revenues. We continue to closely monitor the following divisions in this earnings announcement:
1. HP Services and Software Division: HP's services and software divisions collectively account for 42% of the company's value. During the last quarter, HP reported a decline across both services and software division as business environment was tepid. While the business environment continues to be challenging, we expect that the decline in services revenues will be less profound as compared to previous quarter. In this earnings announcement, we'll be closely watching HP's renewal rate and pricing for its technology and application services. Nevertheless, HP continues to report double-digit growth in revenues of its strategic enterprise services such as cloud, mobility, security and big data. Therefore, we expect converged cloud services to be the key driver for services revenue during this quarter.
2. Server & Storage Division: The server and storage division is HP's second largest business division, making up 20% of its value. According to Gartner, HP's worldwide server shipment and revenue grew during the fourth quarter of 2013. We expect this trend in server shipment to continue, and the company to report marginal improvement in shipment and revenues for the quarter. Furthermore, we expect the company to register growth in shipments for the recently launched hyperscale Moonshot server as cloud services, which use these hyperscale servers, are gaining traction.
3. Printer Division: HP leads the worldwide hardcopy peripheral market with a market share of 40% in 2013. The company continues to target the high-end ink market and commercial hardware rather than low-end consumer hardware. The revenues for this division declined in 2013 due to a contraction in average selling prices across ink and laser hardware. The contraction reflected a tough pricing environment. We expect this trend to continue in the current quarter, and the revenue to decline, albeit at a slower pace.
4. PC Shipment And Revenues To Buck The Trend: HP's PC and workstation division is the fourth largest division, contributing nearly 30% to its revenue and 10% of its estimated value. Weak PC demand across the world continued to plague computer manufacturers during the first quarter as the shipments declined. However, the company bucked the trend and reported growth in both revenues and shipment on the back of new launches. Thus, we expect the company revenues from this division to grow this quarter as well.
We currently have $25.04 price estimate for HP, which is approximately 20% below the current market price.

Three female friends return from the gym to their flat to be greeted by their male flatmate. He asks them how their workout was, but disappointingly they announce that as the gym was extremely busy they feel a little let down at the fact that they don't feel like they have had enough exercise. He rudely comments that the girls don't actually look like they've done any sort of hard work or toning. With this comment the girls decide that they will fulfil their needs and show their flatmate that they have every intention to complete whatever satisfaction they didn't get from the gym by working up a sweat and continuing their workout on him. They choose that the best way to do this would be with a bit of kick boxing with a difference! So, they get the guy to strip and in turns land him with some full forced kicks to his low hanging exposed balls as payback for his earlier cheekiness. As they continue their exercise on his equipment with trainers and bare feet, they soon realise how much more fun and muscle building this type of workout y than the gym...and much better apparatus as well!

Once they feel his back has enough attention they turn him over, remove their boots and trample and jump all over his torso.To put pressure on even more Tammie and Mai take turns to wank his cock! They spit all over it and order him to cum all over himself. However, he discovers that it is not easy to give the girls what they want while he has at least one girl standing on him at all times! After further trampling and handjob action it becomes apparent that he isn't going to be able to give them what they want and order him back onto his front. The girls put their boots back on and give his back a finally hard stomping before sending him on his way!

O'FALLON, ILL. — A woman and her son were killed Monday when a car they were in went off a road and plunged into a small pond in this suburb east of St. Louis, authorities said.
Authorities were investigating the cause of the accident Monday afternoon, O'Fallon Police Chief John Betten said. Police did not release the victims' identities.

An implanted pacemaker that helps control seizures in people with a hard-to-treat form of epilepsy also may affect some patients breathing during sleep, according to results of a University pilot study.
So far, the unexpected effect appears small and not harmful. But the finding, in the Nov. 28 issue of Neurology, may help doctors identify and treat patients who are susceptible to the breathing disruptions, called sleep apnea, before they begin using the device. The discovery could even aid scientists in unraveling the mystery of why the brain-stimulating device works.
Vagus nerve stimulation is a very promising treatment for epilepsy, and many of our patients have been helped by it, says lead author Beth Malow, assistant professor of neurology. But we still need to understand it fully, including what conditions it may exacerbate. This first sign of an effect on breathing during sleep must be studied further in larger groups of patients, so that we can address with care any confirmed effect.
The study was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and by Cyberonics, Inc., the manufacturer of the vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) device. Currently approved for use in epilepsy and used by more than 8,000 Americans and Europeans, the device also is being tested in the U.S. for treating depression. VNS uses an implanted battery and wires to directly stimulate the vagus nerve, a long brain-to-body communication channel in the neck. The electrical signal pulses on and off in intervals, frequencies and intensities that can be adjusted by a physician using a wand connected to a computer.
The study focuses on four epilepsy patients who chose to have vagus nerve stimulating devices implanted in their chests after medication failed to control their seizures. All four came to the U-Ms Michael S. Aldrich Sleep Disorders Laboratory for overnight sleep tests, both before and after their device was implanted.
All four were taking part in a trial to assess how VNS affects daytime sleepinessa study that found a positive effect from low to medium VNS intensities. But the nighttime breathing problem was spotted during overnight monitoring of their airflow, blood oxygen and effort. All four had far more breathing decreases or interruptions when the device was on than when it was off.
All four had an overall lower airflow and breathing effort after getting their devices than before, an effect seen during almost every on cycle of their devices. Most of the breathing events, though, were not severe or long-lasting enough to be classed as apneas (an 80 percent or greater decrease in breathing for more than 10 seconds), or hypopneas (a breathing interruption for more than 10 seconds together with a partial awakening or a decrease in blood oxygen).
One male patient, who had a preexisting but undiagnosed case of obstructive sleep apnea, experienced 11 apneas or hypopneas per total hour of sleep, including the time when the device was sending signals and the time when it wasnt. He had had only four such events per hour in the sleep test before he got his device.
The other patients, who had not had signs of sleep apnea in their baseline tests, also experienced an increase in apneas and hypopneas, although these remained below five times an hour, within the normal range. When Malow and her colleagues, including Jonathan Edwards, clinical assistant professor of neurology, calculated the rate of interruptions during just the time when the device was stimulating their vagus nerve, it came out to 19 per hour.
Malow adds that follow-up studies of two patients showed that fine-tuning of their VNS devices may help reduce breathing disruptions. Both the patient with existing apnea and one of the others showed a decrease in apneas and hypopneas when the stimulus frequency of the electrical signal was decreased.
In those with mild sleep apnea, decreasing the stimulus frequency or lengthening the time between stimulations may keep the problem from worsening, Malow explains. And, as in the initial studies on VNS in depression, lower stimulus parameters may actually increase effectiveness. But more study is needed to tell for sure.
Malow notes that VNS patients who experience sleep apnea also may be helped by the conventional treatments for the condition, including adjustments to sleeping position, weight loss and use of a device known as CPAP that keeps the throat open during sleep using increased air pressure.
The new finding adds to the building knowledge about sleep and epilepsy. Recently, Malow and her colleagues published results of a study that showed a third of epilepsy patients who arent helped by medication may have sleep apnea, compared with about 24

Steve Clarke is optimistic Zoltan Gera will be back for pre-season training
Steve Clarke is optimistic Zoltan Gera will be back for the start of pre-season training after knee surgery.
Last Updated: 30/01/13 9:25am
Gera damaged knee ligaments during the FA Cup tie at QPR earlier this month.
The Hungary international sustained a similar injury last season, which
caused him to miss the second half of the campaign.
Clarke said: "Zoltan has had his operation, it went very well and his rehab
starts this week.
"We would expect him to be up and running in time for pre-season training."
Clarke also expects midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu to return from Africa Cup of Nations duty with DR Congo in time to be included in the squad for Sunday's home clash with Tottenham.
Mulumbu is due to fly back in the next couple of days after a 1-1 draw with Mali on Monday ended Congo's interest in the competition.
Clarke said: "We expect him back on Friday and he will be in contention for
"He's just played the three times for his country so there are no problems

Looks: DS Dundee F/W 11
Fall & Winter 2011 for me, is all about layers for the outdoors and in everyday real life applications. Grocery shopping, running errands, hosting dinner parties, heading to meetings, drinks with friends– the translations are endless. Living here on Canada's West Coast the winters are without snow, but the temperature dives into a damp cold where heavy layers are an absolute necessity to stay warm.
England's DS Dundee is truly a Gentleman's brand, so bringing it into our shop made sense. Focusing on classic, traditional British style and aesthetics, the brands focus is quite literally desiging with a distinct purpose. The woolens, tweeds, cotton moleskin and silk ties are all the perfect examples of dressing well for the cold months ahead.

Simon Property Group Inc.'s SPG, -0.16% second-quarter earnings rose 58% as the nation's largest mall owner logged higher funds from operations, beating analyst estimates.
The real estate investment trust raised its year view, now expecting earnings of $3.98 to $4.08 a share and FFO of $8.60 to $8.70 a share. It had previously said it expected earnings of $3.70 to $3.80 a share, and FFO of $8.50 to $8.60 a share.
Simon, which has an interest in about 325 malls and outlet centers in North America and Asia, is considered by analysts to be among the strongest companies in the REIT industry. The company's FFO--a key profitability metric in the sector--has logged growth in recent quarters, although lately Simon has seen its bottom line pressured by higher expenses.
Overall, the company reported a profit of $340.8 million, versus $216.3
Revenue improved 4.1% to $1.24 billion. Analysts expected earnings of 88 cents a share on $1.24 billion in revenue.
Operating expenses rose 1.2%.
FFO was $2.11 a share, versus $1.89 a share a year earlier, topping the $2.07 expected by analysts.
Occupancy at the company's U.S. regional malls and premium outlets increased to 95.1% from 94.2% a year earlier. The base minimum rent per square foot climbed to $41.41 from $39.99 a year earlier.
Last month Simon Property and McArthurGlen Group signed an agreement to form a joint-venture under which the U.S. mall owner initially will invest 435 million euros ($569 million) in the owner of upscale designer outlet stores, gaining a presence in Europe.
Shares closed Friday at $164.54 and were inactive in recent premarket trading. The stock has dropped 6.5% in the past three months.
