of 2 percent over the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of foreign
exchange, first quarter 2009 net sales increased 6 percent over the
prior-year period.
For the first quarter 2009, net sales in the U.S. were $422.5 million

percent and a decrease of 6 percent, respectively, over the prior-year
period. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, first quarter 2009 net
sales outside the U.S. increased 7 percent over the prior-year period.

shareholders was $112.5 million and diluted earnings per share available
to common shareholders were $1.10, an increase of 44 percent and 47
percent, respectively, as compared to first quarter 2008 results.

detailed in the tables below, first quarter 2009 net income attributable
to common shareholders was $119.0 million and diluted earnings per share
available to common shareholders were $1.17, an increase of 9 percent
and 11 percent, respectively, as compared to first quarter 2008 results.
Timothy M. Ring, chairman and chief executive officer, commented,
"Despite a challenging sales quarter, due primarily to currency
headwinds and distributor inventory reductions, we delivered solid
adjusted EPS growth. We accomplished this through gross margin expansion
and diligent expense management without compromising our investment in
R&D. Our business is healthy and growing, and we remain confident in our
long-term strategy."

Notes to Reconciliation of Earnings
This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated
in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to
their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the above tables.
This press release includes net sales excluding the impact of foreign
exchange. The company analyzes net sales on a constant currency basis to
better measure the comparability of results between periods. Because
changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact
on net sales, the company believes that evaluating growth in net sales
on a constant currency basis provides an additional and meaningful
assessment of net sales to both management and the company's investors.
In addition, this press release includes the following non-GAAP
measures: (1) research & development expense excluding payments for
purchased research and development; (2) other (income) expense, net
excluding a charge for restructuring; (3) income tax provision excluding
the tax effect of the items set forth in (1) and (2) above; (4) net
income attributable to common shareholders excluding the items set forth
in (1) through (3) above; and (5) diluted earnings per share available
to common shareholders excluding the items set forth in (1) through (3)
The company excluded the items described above because they may cause
certain statements of income categories not to be indicative of ongoing
operating results, and therefore affect the comparability of results
between periods. The company therefore believes that these non-GAAP
measures provide an additional and meaningful assessment of the
company's ongoing operating performance. Because the company has
historically reported these non-GAAP results to the investment
community, management also believes that the inclusion of these non-GAAP
measures provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates
investors' understanding of the company's historic operating trends by
providing an additional basis for comparisons to prior periods.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures: (1) to establish financial and
operational goals; (2) to monitor the company's actual performance in
relation to its business plan and operating budgets; (3) to evaluate the
company's core operating performance and understand key trends within
the business; and (4) as part of several components it considers in
determining incentive compensation.
Management recognizes that the use of these non-GAAP measures has
limitations, including the fact that they may not be comparable with
similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and that
management must exercise judgment in determining which types of charges
or other items should be excluded from the non-GAAP financial
information. Management compensates for these limitations by providing
full disclosure of each non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation
to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. All non-GAAP
financial measures are intended to supplement the applicable GAAP
disclosures and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a
replacement for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable
GAAP measures, please see the above tables.
Notes to Earnings per Share
(dollars and shares in thousands, except per share amounts,
(1) Basic and diluted earnings per share available to common
shareholders is calculated using a numerator, which represents the total
of net income attributable to common shareholders less income allocated
to participating securities under FSP No. EITF 03-6-1.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Good grief, woman...what is your frickin' preoccupation with heat? Seriously, for days now you've been posting on multiple boards about being out in the heat.

Now that General David Petraeus has mothballed his uniforms, turned the ISAF command in Afghanistan over to General John Allen, and taken Leon Panetta's chair at the CIA, the next to last big name who fought for primacy in DC's Afghanistan policy wars is, for the most part, off to other pastures.
At the start of the Obama administration, the two arenas that mattered when it came to political power -- the issues defining who was "big" in Obama Land -- were either the global financial crisis or the Afghanistan War.
In the latter case, President Obama conducted the single longest strategic review of US policy and doctrine since the Vietnam War. Those who had grips on some aspect of America's operation in Afghanistan were golden, globally recognized VIPs, got resources, appeared on Rachel Maddow's show, were as close as we get to the old Consuls of Rome. Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan (SRAP) Richard Holbrooke, then under some criticism for not spending more time in the AfPak theatre, told me that "someone would be a fool to leave town when all the action on this portfolio was underway in the White House."
The stakeholders who fought hard over which way to go on Afghanistan were akin to the top Strategic Command generals and Soviet experts in presidential administrations during the Cold War.
Who were they and where have they gone?
America's most famous general, David Petraeus, was - as mentioned - one of these policy gladiators recently 'strategically redeployed' to direct the Central Intelligence Agency where his attentions will be global and more broadly strategic than the policy silos he has been running. One of Petraeus' honest but least heard statements made when recommending the number of troops and duration of deployments to Afghanistan was that he was not taking into account the global strategic needs that the US faced elsewhere and that he was focused just on the AfPak challenge - devoid of the larger picture. That narrow clarity is now over for the general and largely neutralizes his definitive hold on America's Afghanistan policy.
But others who had power stakes on Afghanistan and who fought hard inside Washington for their piece of the action were General Jim Jones, national security adviser to President Obama; Defense Secretary Robert Gates; AfPak envoy Richard Holbrooke, General Stanley McChrystal, US Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry. Vice President Joe Biden too was a key force in the debate.
These were the players who skirmished and intrigued against each other building and breaking political alliances as some advocated a Taliban-conquering "all in" approach vs. those who believed America needed to narrow its objectives and not repeat history by doubling down endlessly in a Vietnam-like trap.
General Jones who at one point allied himself with Ambassador Karl Eikenberry to try and get Richard Holbrooke removed - which might have worked had draft letters between the men not leaked out - is no longer National Security Advisor and is now a senior fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center working on energy policy.
Defense Secretary Bob Gates, who was slightly schizophrenic on Afghanistan, has now stepped down, succeeded by Leon Panetta. Gates was remarkably successful at securing the resources and policy parameters on Afghanistan that his lead generals advised but then would give speeches as I once heard him give at the Nixon Center (now the Center for the National Interest) criticizing over-militarizing our approach to the Afghanistan problem. Gates would say that there was no military solution to Afghanistan but of the resources we were committing to solve the problem, 99% was on the military side of the equation he would say -- and would underscore how short-sighted this was.
Richard Holbrooke died too young, his last words to his doctor, "you've got to end this war in Afghanistan." Holbrooke, who of all the key players, had the nightmare realities of Vietnam imprinted on to his DNA and who worked hard to prevent a recurrence of mistakes made in that war, nonetheless partly reflected the reality that the past had become the present.
Just before I was invited to take part in a debate on America's Afghanistan policy in the New York-based Intelligence Squared Debates (where I was on a team debating three others including my colleague and Southeast Asia expert Steve Coll), Holbrooke outlined for me what he saw as the absolute "musts" for US policy and what our constraints would be. From what I knew of the positions of Eikenberry, McChrystal, Petraeus, Jones, Biden and others - it was crystal clear that it would be nearly impossible to get strategic and operational coherence in Washington - no matter what was happening on the ground in Afghanistan. Petraeus had convinced the President and drawn him to his side on larger deployments, and Petraeus - who regularly admitted not being a strategist looking at America's larger strategic picture - called Holbrooke his "wing man." This was a big reversal from the days when the diplomats "led" and the military "did." But Holbrooke, regrettably, is gone.
Stanley McChrystal's position collapsed when Rolling Stone correspondent Michael Hastings captured a culture of commentary in the command staff around McChrystal in Afghanistan that was disdainful of civilian authority, particularly of Vice President Biden. McChrystal was fired for the transgressions - though Obama has buffered the general's fall with a modest advisory post. McChrystal is returning the favor by allegedly telling a number of journalists that "no trust" exists any longer between the Pentagon's generals and those running the National Security Council. But McChrystal is no longer relevant to the AfPak beat.

Man charged in string of fast-food robberies
Updated On: Dec 31 2013 12:35:36 PM MST
For more than a year, Albuquerque police have been investigating several robberies of fast food restaurants.
David Hunter was identified as a suspect Monday.
The restaurants include Subway, Arby's, Pizza Hut and Del Taco. Hunter had made off with hundreds of dollars, police said.
Hunter was caught on surveillance video in September 2012, and police said they started to get calls after KOAT Action 7 News aired the video.
Police also said those tips and fingerprints from the scene led to Hunter's arrest. He was booked and charged with four counts of armed robbery, firearm enhancement and possession of burglary tools.
In 2008, Hunter was charged with accident involving death or injury, careless driving, unlawful taking of a vehicle and aggravated DWI.
He was found guilty of two of those charges and sentenced to probation.

I got the 6x9 size in my living room under a 40in dining table and it's perfect! the colors are more bold than they appear in the photo, which is lovely! the pile was medium thinkness, not too much or too little (more than an outdoor rug).

Loved color and everything about it! I was very skeptical of ordering a rug online but I am very pleased. Will buy more from this site.
Great rug! Very durable and beautiful color. Really makes my family room pop!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I was so encouraged by the great reviews I didn t hesitate to order this rug. Yes, this rug is gorgeous and soft in person. I was in love with it when it arrive and quickly placed it in our living room. That s where the love ends sadly. The quality of this rug is horrible and not made for even light everyday use. We don t have a large or busy family (just myself, my husband and a 20 month old) and the rung was placed in a room we don t spend a lot of time in. However, within a week it was battered and starting to fray in multiple places. Thinking it wasn t a huge deal I trimmed them and was still satisfied. However, after a month, there were snags, pulls, and thread all over the place. It was a disaster! It saw barely three months of use before it was falling apart, not even worthy of being donated. I have had great success with ordering other rugs online but this purchase was a complete disappointment and waste of money!RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
This rug is gorgeous! I love it! It does not shed like the wool ones and it is much more substantial than I expected. The colors are dreamy too. This is my absolute favorite rug I have ever seen. I am so glad I got it!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
2nd purchase from RUGS USA, and I'm satisfied once again! I'm using this rug in my front entrance way and it instantly warms up the space. The colors are pretty accurate... maybe a touch brighter in person.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This rug is amazing! In person it is absolutely gorgeous, the tan color is more subtle and the silver-blue is perfect. I get so many compliments on this rug, highly recommended!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
i love this rug. it was just what i wanted for our dining room. great colors. great quality.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Very nice rug for the money. Love the colors and texture, it will be perfect in the room I'm using it in. Definitely recommend & loved the price.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This is a beautiful rug! The quality is superb and the thickness is great for the amount paid. Note: The beige looking details are darker than the photo shows and looks a little on the gold side. But if you pair it with other dark beige items, you shouldn't be able to notice!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I got such a great deal on this rug, and another similar to it. I was holding my breath for it to come, cause I was worried the quality would not be too great. But I love this rug. I put it in my bedroom, and I love walking barefoot on it, and so do my toes! I laid it over my berber carpet, and it is the perfect thickness. Its not too bulky that I am tripping over it, and not so thin that it shifts around all the time. I def recommend it!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
My husband and I are extremely pleased with this rug! It is very soft, the colors are exactly what we were looking for and we love the thickness (not too thin, not too thick). My husband commented that this is a rug he can actually lay on without it being scratchy like our pricey wool rug. It is a great buy and looks great under our beige upholstered bed. The colors are pretty accurate - maybe a tad lighter in person.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Grit Index: D-backs' Delgado gets no support from offense, bullpen in blowout to Rockies
Randall Delgado's first start at Coors Field could have gone a lot worse than it did.
Although he was neglected substantial support from his teammates -- getting just two runs of offense in the five innings he pitched while seeing his bullpen allow seven runs, the right-hander managed to allow just a pair of earned runs in the Colorado Rockies' hitter-friendly confines, allowing three hits and two walks.
The Arizona Diamondbacks got a two-run home run from centerfielder A.J. Pollock, his eighth of the season, in the first inning, but saw opposing pitcher Jhoulys Chacin settle in thereafter.
Chacin scattered baserunners throughout innings 2-6. And, despite walking five and allowing six hits in the game, he wouldn't allow the Diamondbacks another run before exiting in line for his 14th win of the season.
For the Diamondbacks, Tony Sipp was the main culprit, as the left-hander gave up a pair of home runs in the 6th, ultimately allowing three runs on three hits and exiting the game before getting an out. The Rockies tacked on an extra run in the inning off of J.J. Putz, who used a pair of strikeouts to complete the frame.
Paul Goldschmidt's 35th home run came in the following inning but his rally was unsupported.
Eury de La Rosa and Matt Langwell combined to allow another three runs in the 7th and 8th, before the Diamondbacks' too-little-too-late two-out rally started in their final at-bat of the game, with Pollock scoring on a Goldschmidt hit up the middle.
The Good:
For Diamondbacks fans, the season has practically been reduced to cheering for their best player, Paul Goldschmidt, in his chase of MVP honors. He helped himself in that pursuit Friday, getting RBIs no. 120 and 121 and hitting his 35th home run. Goldschmidt leads has a 19-RBI lead on the Cincinnati Reds' Jay Bruce, who is second in the category among NL hitters.
The Bad:
The Diamondbacks' record hovers one game above .500, at 77-76, with nine games left to play.
Up Next:
Trevor Cahill (7-10, 4.32 ERA) looks to continue his recent success for the Diamondbacks, facing the Rockies' Collin McHugh (0-1, 6.30 ERA) at Coors Field Saturday. First pitch is at 6:10 p.m. MDT and can be heard on Arizona Sports 620 AM.

RADFORD, Va. (AP) - Virginia regulators say the Army and a defense contractor could be fined for a small amount of acid that leaked into the New River from the Radford Army Ammunition Plant.
According to a report released Friday by the state Department of Environmental Quality, acid from the July leak at the plant reached the river, but did no harm.
The Army and BAE Systems Inc. said the leak occurred while crews were trying to cool several overheated spent nitric acid tanks.
The Roanoke Times reports ( http://bit.ly/TkE3XI) that regulators say plant personnel did not attain complete control and could not prevent some of the acid from reaching the river.
While crews responded acceptably, officials say they've begun a process that could lead to a fine from the state Water Control Board.

Idenix Provides Update On IDX19368 Development Program
IDX19368 is an unpartnered liver-targeted nucleotide prodrug of 2'-methyl guanosine and was selected from a prodrug series of approximately 350 compounds. It has shown high triphosphate levels in vivo, with a low potential for drug-drug interactions.
In the third quarter of 2012, Idenix submitted an investigational new drug (IND) application for IDX19368 with plans to initiate clinical trials in the third quarter of 2012. However, these clinical trials will not commence until the FDA removes the clinical hold.
ABOUT IDX184IDX184 is an unpartnered, novel, liver-targeted nucleotide prodrug of 2'-methyl guanosine, which includes Idenix's proprietary liver-targeting technology. This technology enables the delivery of nucleoside monophosphate to the liver, leading to the formation of high levels of nucleoside triphosphate, potentially maximizing drug efficacy and limiting systemic side effects with low, once-daily dosing. In July 2012, an independent data safety monitoring board reviewed the safety data for this study and confirmed that the side effect profile of IDX184 combined with PegIFN/RBV is consistent with that of PegIFN/RBV alone. The FDA placed IDX184 on partial clinical hold as reported on August 16, 2012. In previous clinical trials as well as the ongoing phase IIb clinical trial of IDX184 in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin (PegIFN/RBV), there has been no evidence to date of cardiotoxicity in patients dosed with IDX184 with PegIFN/RBV beyond that seen with PegIFN/RBV alone. There are currently no patients receiving IDX184 worldwide. ABOUT IDENIX Idenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of drugs for the treatment of human viral diseases. Idenix's current focus is on the treatment of patients with hepatitis C infection. For further information about Idenix, please refer to www.idenix.com .

Do People Really Know What "the Cloud" Is? (Graphic: Business Wire)
Despite the staggering variety of music available for listening online, a national survey of more than 1,000 showed that most Americans favor classic rock and pop music.
The Wakefield Research survey, commissioned by Citrix, which also asked about cloud computing literacy and habits, found that if listeners could access an artist's collection via the cloud, most would choose legends such as: The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and Michael Jackson. But they haven't completely let go of modern music – Eminem, Maroon 5 and Coldplay also made the Top 10 list.
Top 10 artists mentioned most in the survey include:
1. The Beatles2. Rolling Stones 3. Michael Jackson 4. Bon Jovi 5. Pink Floyd 6. Bruce Springsteen 7. Eminem 8. Maroon 5 9. Led Zeppelin 10. Coldplay Other Cloud Survey Fun Facts:
- People work from home in the buff? There are many benefits to cloud computing you might not expect. Respondents said benefits include the ability to access work information from home in your "birthday suit" (40 percent) and tanning on the beach and accessing computing files at the same time (33 percent).
- People don't get cloud computing: A majority of Americans (54 percent) claim to never use cloud computing. Twenty-two percent admitted they pretended to know about the cloud when it came up in conversation.
- But they still use the cloud: Ninety-five percent of respondents actually use cloud computing services, according to the poll, even if they don't realize it. Fifty-eight percent use social networking sites like Facebook, more than 60 percent shop and bank online, and 29 percent store photos online; all of these are cloud-based services.
- Weather Affects Cloud Computing: Most Americans are unsure about how the cloud works: 51 percent believe stormy weather would interfere with their cloud computing.

"Wow, very tasty, I loved it and so did my family and friends. The only thing I did different was sprinkle garlic and onion on and around the roast. Awesome, thanks for the recipe."
"Loved this recipe, I made it for some friends as I was watching their kids at their house and took half home to my husband. I made my own spaghetti sauce and put textured vegetable protien instead of using meat I am not a big pepperoni fan and everyone thought it was excellent, they couldn't even tell there wasn't meat, they thought I used hambur..."

More Info
PTEI began in January 1994 as a novel initiative designed to encourage the development of TE by uniting the scientific and commercial talent of the Pittsburgh region (Russell et al, 1999). Initially it was an informal network of scientists, engineers, community leaders, businesspersons, and others interested in fostering ultimately commercially applicable TE research within local universities. PTEI rapidly grew and consolidated as a free-standing enterprise, and it was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation in 1996. It is dedicated to establishing Pittsburgh as a national leading TE center and to advancing the field of TE worldwide. PTEI does this through targeted programs that support research, provide professional and community education, and facilitate interactions among academic medical centers, regional and national government, the Department of Defense, and industry. PTEI focuses on biomedical and related biotechnologies associated with engineered human tissues, including cell culture, gene therapy, organ transplantation and regeneration, biomaterials, tissue manufacturing processes, and computer-assisted analysis and design.
In recognition of the strength of this structure and the capabilities of the Pittsburgh region, PTEI received an award from the U.S. Department of Defense for establishment of the first National Tissue Engineering Center (NTEC), which services the Department of Defense as a venue for leading civilian and military scientists, clinicians, and engineers. This proposed ISR undergraduate research program will pair undergraduate students with US Army ISR researchers and will focus on providing undergraduate students the opportunity to engage in medical research all of which addresses the preservation, health, and safety of soldiers. Further, recognizing the relationship the ISR has fostered with PTEI through NTEC, participating undergraduates will further benefit from the PTEI NTEC/ISR collaborative by being invited to interface with PTEI NTEC researchers and other undergraduate interns who are participating in the pre-existing PTEI summer undergraduate internship program.
Given the strength of the PTEI affiliate institute support structure as related to the NTEC and ISR collaborative, and its expertise in developing and implementing educational training opportunities for an array of learners, the undergraduate ISR program will provide a critical educational experience at a time when undergraduates are considering postgraduate training, career options, and the institutions and organizations to which they will apply for ongoing education and training.
PTEI is committed to extending Undergraduate PTEI Internships/Postdoctoral Fellowship positions to students who are members of groups currently underrepresented in science, technology and engineering fields, including: African American, Asian, Latino/Hispanic, Native American, Pacific Islander descent, and disabled individuals.

NEW YORK (AP) — Televised dating might not be the right fit for Emily Maynard.
The single mom's second turn on ABC's "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" series has ended in a broken engagement.
After weeks of rumors, Maynard and Jef Holm confirmed their split to People.com on Tuesday. Maynard described it as "a very difficult and heartbreaking decision."
Maynard competed on the 15th season of "The Bachelor" where she accepted Brad Womack's proposal in the season finale. They, too, broke up a few months later.
Earlier this month, former "Bachelor" Ben Flajnik (FLAN'-ihk) and fiancee, model Courtney Robertson, also broke up.
Two "Bachelor"-related couples are celebrating some good news, though. Ashley Hebert (AY'-behr) and J.P. Rosenbaum's televised wedding special will air on ABC in December, while Jason and Molly Mesnick are expecting their first child together.
