Oprah Winfrey has confirmed speculation that she has gained weight, posting on her website that she has hypothyroidism which caused her to gain 20 lbs.
"My body was turning on me. First hyperthyroidism, which sped up my metabolism and left me unable to sleep for days. (Most people lose weight. I didn't.) Then hypothyroidism, which slowed down my metabolism and made me want to sleep all the time. (Most people gain weight. I did! Twenty pounds!) "
The thyroid is a small gland located in the front of your neck that regulates your metabolism. When your thyroid is overactive it is called hyperthyroidism and it can cause heart palpitations, difficulty sleeping, nervousness, light menstrual periods, intolerance to heat, muscle weakness and weight loss. On the other hand, when the thyroid is under-active it is called hypothyroidism and it causes fatigue, weakness, coarse skin, depression, abnormal menstrual periods, decreased sex drive, hair loss, constipation, intolerance to cold and weight gain.
First off, I am not Oprah's doctor, nor have I ever treated her, however her experience is quite common. Patients who are treated for hyperthyroidism, or over-active thyroid, with anti-thyroid mediation or radioactive iodine frequently gain weight, typically gaining about 8 lbs. For patients who subsequently develop hypothyroidism following treatment, their weight gain is usually more so Oprah's weight gain of 20 lbs is not surprising. As in Oprah's case, if patients are overweight to begin with or have a history of weight loss, they also more likely to gain weight when treated.
Oprah mentioned that her overactive thyroid didn't cause weight loss. Many patients don't have weight loss because their over-active thyroid makes them more hungry so they take in greater calories, which more than offsets their increased metabolism. It's also important to note that hyperthyroidism also causes loss of metabolically active muscle mass. and each pound of muscle burns up to 50 calories per pound/day. So when patients with an overactive thyroid are treated, the are especially prone to weight gain because not only will the medications and treatment lower their metabolism but they also don't have as much muscle mass to burn off calories.
Oprah is going to have to be doubly vigilant with what she eats and weight training is a good idea to help build up her lost muscle mass. Kudos to Oprah for being so candid about her recent weight gain. Hopefully her experience can help others. You can check out her post.

Hen Lin Siomai
July 28, 2010
I have heard good reviews of Hen Lin Siomai so I gave it a try one evening where I was lazy to go around to look for food. Hen Lin is just right down below where I live so it is very convenient for me.
I ordered two orders (yes I was hungry) and ate them in my room.
Hen Lin Beef Siomai Rice Meal
Hen Lin Sharksfin Siomai Rice Meal
I happily ate both of these meals but I have to admit, it left me wanting more as I did not get the satisfaction I was expecting. There was nothing extra ordinary about their siomai where it would make you say, "omg delicious!". It is kind of dry already (maybe it is because I ordered it evening time so it is more of their leftovers), that it made eating it with rice hard and I wished I had soup to go with it. However, the rice was good.
Since they are just so near me, I'll give them another try next time to compare if it is just the time when I bought it or I'm not just a fan of their siomai.
Till next time,

Thanks, Joanna. The Institute for patient and family centered care has been a great inspiration to us in helping us forge our mission and approach to patient care. We have instituted family advisory groups, are actively conducting patient and family centered rounds every morning, and are tracking our ability to meet our patient and family centered goals through observation, interviews and checklists. Thanks for pointing out the white paper. I will post a permanent link to it on the right side of the blog.

The Division Of The Roman Empire
But a brief check was made on Christian advance and its pitiless attempt to suppress Judaism in the coming to the throne of Julian in 361. For this emperor did not endorse the new religion, but accepted the old Roman cult of the Pantheon, though in its most idealized form, preferring to purify instead of abolishing it. (Read More...)
The Talmud
Like the Bible, the Talmud produced a literature still vaster than itself. While the Gemara is a commentary, it needed later commentaries to explain it to the student —for although so diffuse in treatment, its language is terse. Frequently a letter stands for a word and a word for a sentence. Therefore in editions of the Talmud today, Mishna and Gemara together form the text and are printed in the centre of each page, while commentaries in smaller type are grouped around it. (Read More...)
Sayings And Stories Of The Sages Of The Talmud
The writing of parables of which some of the rabbis were masters, is almost a lost art ; it seems to have died out in literature. But no moral is pointed so aptly as through a tale and no teaching impressed so lastingly as through a story. (Read More...)
Sayings And Stories Of The Sages
Work dignifies the worker. He enjoys life who lives by the work of his hands. Work is more pleasing in God's sight than ancestral merit. Whoever showeth compassion is as the seed of Abraham. Remove from the highway what might endanger the property of others. (Read More...)
Beginning Of The Jewish Middle Ages
To turn again to the history proper. The production of the Talmud is part of the story of Babylonian Israel. Except that fanatic outbreak about the year 500 little occurred to disturb the even tenor of their way. They were happy because they had no history. (Read More...)
In The Spanish Peninsula
The wanderings of the Jews have begun. The drift of the migration is westward. They are gradually leaving the Orient and finding homes in European lands. In Gaul, the land that is largely France today, Jewish merchants from Asia Minor had found their way long before the Christian era. After the fall of Judea, many Jewish prisoners and slaves were brought thither. (Read More...)
It was in the year 570 that a man was born whose name, Mohammed, was to ring through all Asia, and whom all broad minds now recognize as one of the great religious teachers of mankind. Closely was his fate linked to Israel's, for again was Judaism to inspire a prophet and give birth to another world-religion. (Read More...)
Mohammed, to name him by the title that he afterwards acquired, was born in Mecca, five years after the Byzantine emperor Justinian, and belonged to a branch of the powerful Koreish tribe. He began life as a shepherd. At twenty-five he married Kedija, who had employed him as camel-driver. (Read More...)
Islam And The Jews
Mohammed never forgave the Jews for their refusal to accept him as The Prophet of God, superseding all others. He had accepted so much from them—the fundamental idea of monotheism, the chief points of the Calendar, the Sabbath, the Day of Atonement, much of the Scripture and Midrashic narrative, and many details of the ceremonial law.

THE farthest room of the suite parallel with the first corridor contains the works of some of the earliest painters of the Tuscan school. (Read More...)
Uffizi Gallery - Later Tuscan Art
LEAVING the room assigned to the works of the early masters, we commence another epoch in Art. Oil is taking the place of distemper; perspective, which Paolo Uccello and his contemporaries were groping to discover, is no longer a hidden science ; anatomy enables the artist to draw with greater accuracy, and chiaroscuro and colour have their established laws.

Uffizi Gallery - Small Pictures By Tuscan Masters
IN a passage leading from that containing the larger pictures of the Tuscan school to the Tribune is a valuable collection of smaller paintings, many of which were executed by the same artists whose pictures we have already described. (Read More...)
Uffizi Gallery - Pictures Belonging To Other Schools
THE Tribune is an octagonal room built by the Grand-Duke Ferdinand I to contain his collection of camei and intagli. The cupola above was inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and the room was at first surrounded by carved ebony cabinets; whilst in the centre stood a splendid table of pietra dura, around which were placed the finest antique statues.

Uffizi Gallery - Venetian Pictures
THE first room off the third corridor contains a valuable collection of Venetian pictures. To the left of the entrance is a portrait said to be that of the Condottiere, or Captain of Free Companies, Bartolommeo d' Alviano, and, with still less probability, to have been painted by Giorgione.

Uffizi Gallery - Sala Di Lorenzo Monaco
A NARROW passage leads to the Sala di Lorenzo Monaco. The walls of this passage are covered temporarily with portraits of various artists, for which there is no space in the two large rooms assigned for the purpose. (Read More...)
Uffizi Gallery - The Portrait, Baroccio And Niobe Rooms
THE two next rooms were built by Cardinal Leopold de' Medici for his collection of portraits of distinguished artists from all countries, beginning from an early period, and, whenever it was possible, painted by themselves. Following the example of the Cardinal, succeeding rulers in Tuscany have invited celebrated painters and sculptors to send their portraits to the Uffizi Gallery. (Read More...)
Uffizi Gallery - Drawings By The Old Masters
AT the further end of the third corridor are three rooms, in which are exhibited a selection from the valuable collection of upwards of three thousand drawings belonging to the Museum. (Read More...)

Uffizi Gallery - Intagli And Camel
THE cabinet of gems which contains the collections of Intagli and Camei is entered from the Sala dell' Ermafrodito. At the end of the room, under glass, is a coloured terra-cotta bust of- Dante, taken from the mask after death ; it was bequeathed to the Gallery in 1865 by the Marchese Carlo Torrigiani.

The Pitti Gallery - Large Rooms
THE collection of pictures in the Pitti was made wholly by the Medici, who, about the year 1646, after they had become sovereign princes, brought them to this palace, which was then converted into a royal residence (Read More...)
THE only remaining specimens of pictorial art to be noticed are the Tabernacles at the corners of the old streets and alleys, which once formed a conspicuous feature in Florence, a fresco by Raffaelle in the Via Faenza, and the collection of tapestries. (Read More...)
Archeological Museum - Egyptian Antiquities
ON the first floor of the Palace of the Crocetta are the Egyptian and Etruscan collections. (Read More...)
Archeological Museum - Etruscan Antiquities
FROM the Cyprian collection the visitor enters the suite of rooms assigned to Etruscan remains. The Etruscan settlements extended over the greater part of Italy, from the plains of Lombardy to the Tiber, and their commercial relations with Egypt, Greece, and Asia introduced various manufactures, which render it difficult to distinguish between native and foreign.

The Univerity Of Florence
THE University of Florence, according to Matteo Villani, dates from the fourteenth century, when it was decreed by the Republic that Chairs of Philosophy, Rhetoric, and other branches of knowledge should be founded, in the hope thereby to restore some prosperity to the city, and induce those who had abandoned Florence, after the frightful visitation of the Plague in 1348, to return and inhabit the town.

Over-classification is endemic government-wide. 'We've always done it that way' and 'nobody ever got fired for being too careful' rules the day. Some projects are moved to controlled channels just to justify FTEs and hardware. Everyone knows it is a farce, and thus few take it seriously enough for the things that SHOULD be classified.
Employees have a tendency to add classifications in fear rather than understanding. I feel that requiring an unclassified version will be difficult in many situations where the classification was added as a general fear as compared to specific information. As an example, a drawing that shows positions of non security rated mission capture cameras is classified SBU. Is the very existence of the cameras or their location SBU? Security even marked the camera bracket SBU. Maybe this will cause security to be more selective. Maybe it will just double the number of documents. I think that it is possible some documents by their very existence are sensitive. Perhaps the receiving agency just needs to be required to receive the same training.

and also because for whatever reason Maria just always seems to be really up for it whenever she plays any of the old guard bar Serena. Probably her best tennis of 2009-10 was in those first two sets against Kim in Cincinnati (before the choke), and also the way she was so fearless against Justine at RG back in 2010. Compare that to the way she always seems so unsure of herself against Azarenka. I don't know why, maybe it's just because she always has memories brought back of playing great against the old guard back at her peak even when she plays them now
THIS SO MUCH. I still think the stretch from RG10 to Cincy 2010 was some of the best tennis Maria played post-surgery. Most impressed with how inspired she played against Henin (The dropshots, even the serve & volley!!), as well as against Serena-ServeGOATmode. Kinda makes me wonder what happened during that stretch in 2010.
But oh well, we're in 2012 now, no point looking back. If there's no injury scare, please Masha, your FOOTWORK! Move those feet and you can blast off those groundstrokes and returns just fine.

Does Your Child Have Asthma?
Learn to recognize the symptoms and how to best help your child manage this common illness.
Managing Asthma
If your child has asthma, developing a care plan is one of the most important things you can do towards maintaining his or her health and reducing asthmatic episodes.
Eliminate or control triggers in your child's environment. Keep your home clean and vacuum as often as possible. In bedrooms, use allergen-proof casings on pillows, mattresses, and box springs, and wash linens weekly.
Don't smoke or take your child into an environment where other people do. Even if you don't smoke in front of your child, smoke clings to your hair, skin, and clothing, and will be exhaled through your breath for days after it was inhaled.
Have your child tested to determine exactly what allergens he or she is most sensitive to. Be careful of outdoor activities in the spring and fall when pollen and ragweed levels are typically high.
Make sure to monitor your child's activity levels. While children with controlled asthma shouldn't be prohibited from participating in sports or extracurricular activities, be aware that strenuous activity is an asthma trigger, and make sure you, your child, and any adults who work with him or her know how to respond in case of an emergency.
Also, don't underestimate the role emotions play in asthma prevention. Stress can trigger asthma as easily as environmental irritants, and both babies and young children are quick to pick up on the emotional undercurrents in their home.
Growing and Thriving with Asthma
The good news is most asthma triggers lose their impact as children grow, and frequently, asthma does not persist into adulthood.
But in the meantime, asthma needn't stand in the way of your child's busy life. Stay in touch with your pediatrician and on top of your care plan to ensure that the only limits placed on your child will be your ability to keep up with him!

The chemical deterioration of a material, usually a metal or metal alloy, is called corrosion. The most common causes of corrosion are contact with water and oxygen, though other substances in the earth and in the atmosphere can also cause corrosion. The material with the greatest economic importance that is most affected by corrosion is iron. The corrosion of iron is called rusting.

|RELATED STORY: Attorney: System needs safeguards
He is currently housed in a Department of Juvenile Justice facility.
On Jan. 22, Block and Enright sent a letter asking Department of Juvenile Justice Director Barry R. Green to release the boy.
They outlined the steps they have taken to investigate his family's claims of his innocence, the support of Sousa and her daughter, and how the case moved through the Stafford justice system.
"We're not asking him to do anything he doesn't have the authority to do, regardless of [the boy's] guilt or innocence," Block said.
After taking custody of him in the fall of 2007, the Department of Juvenile Justice classified the boy as a "major offender" and set his term of confinement at between 18 and 36 months. That makes March 19 the earliest possible release date without the agency's director intervening in response to the attorneys' request.
But Block said Green has the discretionary power to release the boy immediately, absent any court action.
"Even though the Department of Juvenile Justice is our first step, it's not that we're laying the blame for any of this at their feet," Block said.
Green said this week that it is standard for him to periodically review the case of any youth classified as a major offender and that he routinely does it as an early release date approaches. If the youth has successfully completed any programs he or she was required to take part in and has everything in place for any assistance needed after release, then the department's practice is to work toward release.
"For any of the kids we have, our goal is not to incarcerate them any longer than need be," Green said.
Though he is powerless to deal with issues of innocence and would not discuss details of this case, Green said he would review it.
"I will give this an honest look. If he's either completed or amenable to completing whatever requirements there are within the community, we would not have a reason to hold him," Green said.
Enright and Block said they are working for the boy on three fronts.
First, they hope to get him released from custody. Next, they want to clear his record of the convictions.
Enright, her investigator and students in her Innocence Project clinic are working to craft what's known as a habeas corpus petition, a legal appeal raised on constitutional grounds.
This case, at a minimum, will include an argument that the boy had ineffective counsel, Enright said.
Finally, the attorneys want to get the boy's name removed from the sex-offender registry.
"In a lot of ways, the registry is what has the potential to really ruin his life, if we haven't already," Enright said.

If you've ever been annoyed by the impatiently waiting for an office building elevator, this might just be the perfect building for you. Each of the new elevators installed by Mitsubishi Electric in Umeda Hankyu Building's new office area in Osaka, Japan measures 11.2 x 9.2 feet in area by 8.5 feet high (3.4m wide, 2.8m long and 2.6m high), thus allowing for a whopping 80 person capacity.

3D TVs using LCD or plasma technology might have collected the lion's share of press this year, but for those looking for some 3D goodness on an even larger scale Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America (MDEA) has announced its 2010 line up of 3D DLP Home Cinema TVs available in sizes up to a whopping 82-inches. The large screen TVs utilize the same core Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology used in 3D movie theaters which MDEA says is up to 1,000 times faster than LCD technology, providing for a more realistic, sharper 2D and 3D viewing experience.

One of the criticisms often levied at the drive to get electrically-powered vehicles from the fringe into the mainstream is the current lack of a network of charging stations. Four car manufacturing giants have teamed up with a utility service provider to tackle this problem head on. The newly formed CHAdeMO Association is not only calling for a standard method for charging electric vehicles to be adopted but is also hoping to add some much-needed momentum to the global installation of fast charging solutions.

In a world that largely relies on elevators to ferry people from one floor of a building to the next, it is remarkable how inefficient current systems are in terms of favoring passenger convenience over the increasingly important aspect of reducing energy consumption. Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi Electric looks set to buck the trend with the announcement of its development of multi–elevator smart control technology that can not only reduce energy use by up to ten percent, but do so while adding a mere few seconds to passenger waiting times.

After seven of the 14 legs of the 2010 Dakar Rally, the usual suspects have found their way to the fore once more. With Mitsubishi withdrawing from the event in deference to the GFC, it was predictable that Volkswagen would dominate the event and on the mid-point rest day, three factory race VW TDI Touaregs hold the first three spots, all more than 150 minutes clear of the field. In the bikes, where restrictors have been added to the inlets of machinery larger than 450cc machinery, KTM's 690s have nevertheless dominated almost as much usual, holding first and six of the top 10 places, with two-time winner Cyril Depres an hour and 20 minutes clear of a close battle for second.

The top 10 most reliable and unreliable 4x4s
If you're planning on choosing a roadgoing car based on racetrack results, maybe you'd better think again. With the world's greatest off-road race, the Dakar Rally, currently powering its way through Chile, it's interesting to note that the leaders of the event (BMW and Volkswagen) are among the least reliable 4x4 vehicles on the road, where it really counts. Newly released and highly credible information from the U.K. has revealed the most and least reliable pre-owned 4x4 and SUV cars on the market (see the top 10 lists here). Honda's CR-V won the crown of the most reliable 4x4 by a fair margin while Audi's A6 Allroad is the most unreliable 4x4 on the road, with Volkswagen's Touareg and BMW's X5 placing second and third most unreliable. That's right folks, despite performing spectacularly in race events such as the Dakar, the VW Touareg is the second most unreliable 4x4 on the market, according to Warranty Direct. Read More

Feature: What is an LED TV?
Buying a TV has become as complicated as selecting the right mobile phone plan. Before large flat panel displays invaded our lives, the only real question when purchasing a CRT (cathode ray tube) TV was how big did you want it and how much space did you have in your room to house it? Sure, there were some quality issues but mostly it was dictated by how many diagonal inches you could get for your buck. While some of that justification still rings true with today's TVs, now there's the issue of plasma versus LCD to contend with, and just when you had that sorted out, LED TVs have entered the arena as an option. However, there still seems to be a fair bit of confusion surrounding what exactly an LED TV is. Well, basically, it's another form of LCD TV that uses LEDs to provide its light source. Read More
The 41st Tokyo Motor Show in October looks set to lift the veil on the first wave of Japanese electric cars we'll actually see in mainstream distribution, so it's incredibly exciting to see what will be rolled out as we are entering the pre-announcement period for the show. Mitsubishi's MiEV (Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle ) lineage gets two new offspring concept cars – the PX-MiEV (PX stands for Plug-in hybrid crossover) and the i-MiEV CARGO. The CARGO in particular looks like it will fill an immediate need for emission-free delivery vehicles in the world's most congested cities and, not surprisingly, although it's classed as a concept, the company is currently accepting pre-orders for delivery in April 2010.

Kim Kardashian doesn't do anything for free (get your mind out of the gutter) so it only figures her wedding day would be a HUGE pay day for Kim K.
People magazine won the bidding war for exclusive wedding day photos, says The Hollywood Reporter, to the tune of $1.5 MILLION.
The trade says Kim and hubby-to-be Kris Humphries also raked in $300,000 for the engagement announcement back in May and $100,000 from OK! mag for bridal shower pics.
We thought weddings were supposed to cost money?
I hope that over all the media bull****e that they know they're being laughed at in the houses of the american people. They do not deserve this fame, and ARE NOT role models for young intellectuals to look up to. A sex tape?! A reality show?! Change the world! Cure cancer! Then maybe we'll respect you Kim, but purely based on you having money and being famous because of your father we don't. Let the media feed your delusions of grandeur...
Kim sure doesn't do anything for FREE.....I'm still trying to figure out what her special talent is......Oh yeah........getting laid in front of a camera.....hmmmmm.....hey Vera Wang......If I become a high priced porn star like Kim will you give me a $20,000 wedding dress? Oh wait........I want 3........not greedy or anything but I need the money to actually PAY for a weddiang because I have morals unlike Kim
i dont get it..the country is goin thru a crisis rite now and this female celebrities have the nerve to spend at lot of money on their weddin..sure you only get married once in your lifetime and you want things to loOk perfect..but this kim k. could have have at least choose a decent less expensive wedding..like why do celebrities always try to choose the expensivest wedding..if the gov't ask why we are in a crisis well BLAME IT ON THE CELEBRITIES!!!..smh reallie v______V
It is so sad that in this times of war,bad economy ,this Country going down ,and we are so worry about this people...this people eat,dream,talk and act just for money ,they are money hunger all of them ,they are egotistical,not brain people ,the girls married for money same is the mother ,how sad and we have to deal with every show in the TV taling about this trashy not class but rich people ,I am not part of making them rich I don't buy their clothes ,perfumes,magazines were they show them,don'*****ch the stupid show ever,unfortunaly they are all over because people .....
What a total crock of shize..17 million for some celeb wannaby to have a publicized wedding ? Pahleeeeze.. and who in their right mind in this country really gave a sh!@ Here's my idea: with the conomy being in the toilet, and many families struggling to make ends meet, I think all the proceeds should be donated to organizations to help the rest of the American public in need. Why would a family making all the money they do, living the life they are really need that money more than organizations supporting the General American public. You all need to man up, stop lining the already full pockets U possess and pass on the love. Go on..Make a difference..I speak for all of us, we know U can...Go on ...Just do it...make a difference in someone's life. TRUST ME, IT WOULD CHANGE A LOT OF LIVES !
What a waste of time and money..To think, making all that money off a televised wedding that as far as I can tell..No one realy gives a !@#$...Got a great idea..seeing that you all have more money than you can use, why not donate all the proceeds from this dumb event to a worthwhile cause...The way things are nowadays, people could really care less for these rich people and what they stand for and if they are truly American, they would give all the money to cahritable causes..
These two are far from royalty, more like media whores. The Kardashians will do anything to make a buck. Don't they have enough money yet? Geez, what are they going to film and sell next? Is nothing private anymore?

There wasn't a huge taste difference for me. In fact I like the taste of the dry yeast-ed beer a little more then the huge yeast slurry beer.
I got the yeast slurry from a local micro brewery. They gave me about a quart.
Kona, Fire Rock IPA I made with the yeast slurry.
Cascades / Orange Pale Ale I made with Safale-04 dry yeast.
It could be I just like one recipe over the other. But its so close; so cheers to Safale dry yeast.
Ingredients waiting to be brewed: nothing
Kegged: half of something from last Spring
Kegged: half of something from last Spring
Kegged: half of something from last Spring
Craft breweries tend to use a neutral yeast for most of their beers. Any idea what it was?
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
To really learn anything from this, you should have split the batch and pitched two different yeasts.
Yeah, you can't conclude anything since it was two different recipes.
Ya your right, now I wish I had split the batches...oh well.
The guy at the brewery took it from the bottom of an ale tank. It must be there house ale.

In the case of RIM and Nokia, both had been pretty much left for dead this year, but they've enjoyed new life since the Street decided to believe the duo has a chance at a comeback in 2013.
RIM, at a recent price of $11.66, is up 87% from its 52-week low of $6.22, while Nokia, at $3.56 for each of its American Depositary Receipts as of Friday's close, has more than doubled from its low of $1.63.
Can such magical rebounds continue into the new year?
Yes, they probably can.
There is nothing to say that either company will succeed in the brutally competitive world of mobile technology, where Apple aapl 0.09904912836767037% Apple Inc.

But stocks such as RIM and Nokia aren't weighed down by the burden of actual results. They aren't investments, per se, they are pure speculation that has at least a couple more months before reality hits. Therefore, their shares can continue to float upward until the yay-sayers are proven wrong.
Both stocks are pegged to the popularity of new devices that could slow the decay in their crumbling smartphone businesses.
In the case of RIM, it is scheduled to unveil on Jan. 30 a new operating system for its BlackBerry hand-held, called BB10, along with two new devices running the software.
Early reports indicate these machines will be nothing like the failed Storm touch-screen clunkers, but rather swift, streamlined hand-helds that come closer to the magic of Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy line of phones based on Google's Android software.
In Nokia's case, it's hoping to turn around a year-over-year plummet from third place to seventh place in global smartphone sales as of the third quarter. That effort hinges on sales of Microsoft's MSFT -0.968013468013468% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD47.06 -0.46 -0.968013468013468% /Date(1411419600161-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 37997218 AFTER HOURS USD47.06 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 688873 P/E Ratio 17.69172932330827 Market Cap 391557610803.153 Dividend Yield 2.634934126646834% Rev. per Employee 677570 More quote details and news » (MSFT) Windows Phone operating system. Nokia just started selling a handset called the Lumia 920, running the latest version of Windows Phone, in the last month or so.
THE FIRST THING ONE NOTICES after a brief review of the financial past of both companies, as well as the projections for the near future, is how far each company has fallen, but also how each could fare better with even a mild turnaround.
After a sales decline of 12% last year at Nokia, revenue will probably fall 22% this year, according to FactSet's consensus projection by analysts.
From an adjusted profit of 38 cents per ADR last year, Nokia may report a net loss of about that much this year.
Sales aren't expected to pick up until 2014, and just a paltry 2.5% at that. But with a smaller sales decline of 2.3% next year, Nokia could report a much smaller loss of just six cents per ADR.
Likewise, RIM's revenue is projected to drop by 40% in the fiscal year ending in February, worse than last year's 7.4%, while the company may swing from an adjusted profit of $4.20 to a loss of $1.29.
Still, even a mild turnaround next year could help profits dramatically for RIM: The Street sees a 2.2% rise in revenue next year, but net losses may dramatically improve to just 56 cents.
The second thing you notice is how tenuous those potential rebounds are, at least as the analysts describe them.
THE PROXIMATE CAUSE OF RIM'S surge last week was two notes trumpeting a slightly better outlook. One was from Kris Thompson of Canada's National Bank Financial, who had already raised his rating on the stock to an Outperform from Market Perform about two months ago. Thompson's update, unleashed late Wednesday afternoon, said that things could be a bit better next fiscal year if BB10 helps drive sales of BlackBerry devices from perhaps 28.5 million this year to 35.5 million next year.
Wrote Thompson, "If we're even halfway correct with our $2.3 billion Ebitda forecast, and management can stabilize the business on a recurring basis, then we're off to the races with a current enterprise value of just over $3 billion."
But another analyst came away with a somewhat different view. Jefferies' Peter Misek, who had maintained an Underperform rating on RIM stock for a year now, on Tuesday upgraded the stock to a Hold.
Misek's mixed reasoning: Although BB10 has only a 20% to 30% chance of success in smartphones, in his view, the payoff in that event could be huge.
A success with BB10 could make RIM a $43 stock, Misek estimates.
THINGS WERE SIMILARLY wishful for Nokia.
On Thursday morning, Helsinki-based Ilkka Rauvola, who follows Nokia shares for Danske Bank Markets, raised his rating from Sell to Buy on Nokia.
His reasoning is that the chatter from the field suggests demand for Nokia's Lumia 920 is better than expected, with reports here and there of stores selling out of the first batch.
How much better? Hard to say, Rauvola told me. These are initial supplies that are limited in quantity, and it is impossible to say if Nokia is on a path to sell millions of Lumias initially, or merely hundreds of thousands.
(By way of comparison, Apple sold five million of its iPhone 5 in the first week they went on sale in October, so the bar is set high in the smartphone world.)
The point, Rauvola tells me, is that demand for the phones, regardless of actual volume, is "going in the right direction," versus an absolutely disastrous view of Nokia of late.
This isn't investing, it's gambling. When the music stops, sometime next spring, as first-quarter smartphone sales are reported, reality could set in for both companies.
I don't think either one stands much of a chance over the long haul; they've simply fallen too far behind Google and Apple and Samsung to ever matter much again, regardless of how good their devices are.
But until the music does stop, such open-ended speculation will likely continue and could probably be good for a trade, at least for a few months.

MEBAA Meeting Explores Mideast Bizav Issues
Regional business aviation companies met in Dubai today to share information and discuss issues at the Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) roundtable. The first session covered issues affecting aircraft operators, while the second addressed training and recruitment. Dr. Raymond Hamdan, a clinical and forensic psychologist, made the final presentation, with a summary of key human factors that make pilots tick. "We are here to listen to you and to listen to any issues that you have," Ali Al Naqbi, founding chairman of MEBAA, said during opening remarks. "The business aviation market in the Middle East is now at a crucial stage in its further development and is poised to reach $1 billion by 2018." A recurring theme during the roundtable was the need for operators, regulators and existing and future business aviation clients to communicate with each other. "Constant dialogue and knowledge-sharing among the various stakeholders is key to removing operational bottlenecks and steering the industry toward long-term sustained growth," Al Naqbi said. All the participants agreed that MEBAA plays an important role in promoting business aviation in the MENA region.

They are as the serpent in the Garden that says God shall not surely destroy them but He will destroy their lands! And they will weep and not be heard! And He sends His Angels to cast them into the pit that was made for the evil angels!

There are 2 person here in 9:24-27. The anointed one and the one who causes desolation. Jesus is not the one who destroy the Temple and the City and by causing desolation.
Robert Donaldson's comment on 2013-12-24 18:22:06:
This passage has many facets that do leave much to be pondered
One posting on a Christian forum I read where the writer says
Daniel 9:26 (KJV) and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;
This has an interesting statement that this prince is not Jesus but a prince of the temple to come ? For Jesus was no prince of the romans as i read that often this section of scripture is related they say to Christs first coming... to me at a quick glance this could be the coming evil man of perdition
firstname.lastname@example.com's comment on 2011-04-29 18:24:38:
The Messiah already confirmed the covenant
according to Gal 3:17. This is irrefutable.
The MEssiah is the one who made their house desolate in the first century.
There is no more temple because the city and the sanctuary were already destroyed, according to Dan 9:26.
The Messiah already scattered the power of the holy people according to Dan 12:7.
There is no more things written, that have yet to be fulfilled.
We are now living in the everlasting Kingdom age that was promised by Isa 9:7
