Sin. These are revelations of the Qur'an and a Scripture that maketh plain; 2A guidance and good tidings for believers 3Who establish worship and pay the poor-due and are sure of the Hereafter. 4Lo! as for those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their works fairseeming unto them so that they are all astray. 5Those are they for whom is the worst of punishment, and in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers. 6Lo! as for thee (Muhammad), thou verily receivest the Qur'an from the presence of One Wise, Aware. 7(Remember) when Moses said unto his household: Lo! I spy afar off a fire; I will bring you tidings thence, or bring to you a borrowed flame that ye may warm yourselves. 8But when he reached it, he was called, saying: Blessed is Whosoever is in the fire and Whosoever is round about it! And Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds! 9O Moses! Lo! it is I, Allah, the Mighty, the Wise. 10And throw down thy staff! But when he saw it writhing as it were a demon, he turned to flee headlong; (but it was said unto him): O Moses! Fear not! the emissaries fear not in My presence, 11Save him who hath done wrong and afterward hath changed evil for good. And lo! I am Forgiving, Merciful. 12And put thy hand into the bosom of thy robe, it will come forth white but unhurt. (This will be one) among nine tokens unto Pharaoh and his people Lo! they were ever evil-living folk. 13But when Our tokens came unto them, plain to see, they said: This is mere magic, 14And they denied them, though their souls acknowledged them, for spite and arrogance. Then see the nature of the consequence for the wrong-doers! 15And We verily gave knowledge unto David and Solomon, and they said: Praise be to Allah, Who hath preferred us above many of His believing slaves! 16And Solomon was David's heir. And he said: O mankind! Lo! we have been taught the language of birds, and have been given (abundance) of all things. This surely is evident favour. 17And there were gathered together unto Solomon his armies of the jinn and humankind, and of the birds, and they were set in battle order; 18Till, when they reached the Valley of the Ants, an ant exclaimed: O ants! Enter your dwellings lest Solomon and his armies crush you, unperceiving. 19And (Solomon) smiled, laughing at her speech, and said: My Lord, arouse me to be thankful for Thy favour wherewith Thou hast favoured me and my parents, and to do good that shall be pleasing unto Thee, and include me in (the number of) Thy righteous slaves. 20And he sought among the birds and said: How is it that I see not the hoopoe, or is he among the absent? 21I verily will punish him with hard punishment or I verily will slay him, or he verily shall bring me a plain excuse. 22But he was not long in coming, and he said: I have found out (a thing) that thou apprehendest not, and I come unto thee from Sheba with sure tidings. 23Lo! I found a woman ruling over them, and she hath been given (abundance) of all things, and hers is a mighty throne. 24I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah; and Satan maketh their works fairseeming unto them, and debarreth them from the way (of Truth), so that they go not aright; 25So that they worship not Allah, Who bringeth forth the hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knoweth what ye hide and what ye proclaim, 26Allah; there is no Allah save Him, the Lord of the Tremendous Throne. 27(Solomon) said: We shall see whether thou speakest truth or whether thou art of the liars. 28Go with this my letter and throw it down unto them; then turn away and see what (answer) they return, 29(The Queen of Sheba) said (when she received the letter): O chieftains! Lo! there hath been thrown unto me a noble letter. 30Lo! it is from Solomon, and lo! it is: In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful; 31Exalt not yourselves against me, but come unto me as those who surrender. 32She said: O chieftains! Pronounce for me in my case. I decide no case till ye are present with me. 33They said: We are lords of might and lords of great prowess, but it is for thee to command; so consider what thou wilt command. 34She said: Lo! kings, when they enter a township, ruin it and make the honour of its people shame. Thus will they do. 35But lo! I am going to send a present unto them, and to see with what (answer) the messengers return. 36So when (the envoy) came unto Solomon, (the King) said: What! Would ye help me with wealth? But that which Allah hath given me is better than that which He hath given you. Nay it is ye (and not I) who exult in your gift. 37Return unto them. We verily shall come unto them with hosts that they cannot resist, and we shall drive them out from thence with shame, and they will be abased. 38He said: O chiefs! Which of you will bring me her throne before they come unto me, surrendering? 39A stalwart of the jinn said: I will bring it thee before thou canst rise from thy place. Lo! I verily am strong and trusty for such work. 40One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: I will bring it thee before thy gaze returneth unto thee. And when he saw it set in his presence, (Solomon) said: This is of the bounty of my Lord, that He may try me whether I give thanks or am ungrateful. Whosoever giveth thanks he only giveth thanks for (the good of) his own soul; and whosoever is ungrateful (is ungrateful only to his own soul's hurt). For lo! my Lord is Absolute in independence, Bountiful. 41He said: Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will go aright or be of those not rightly guided. 42So, when she came, it was said (unto her): Is thy throne like this? She said: (It is) as though it were the very one. And (Solomon said): We were given the knowledge before her and we had surrendered (to Allah). 43And (all) that she was wont to worship instead of Allah hindered her, for she came of disbelieving folk. 44It was said unto her: Enter the hall. And when she saw it she deemed it a pool and bared her legs. (Solomon) said: Lo! it is a hall, made smooth, of glass. She said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged myself, and I surrender with Solomon unto Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. 45And We verily sent unto Thamud their brother Salih, saying: Worship Allah. And lo! they (then became two parties quarrelling. 46He said: O my people! Why will ye hasten on the evil rather than the good? Why will ye not ask pardon of Allah, that ye may receive mercy. 47They said: We augur evil of thee and those with thee. He said: Your evil augury is with Allah. Nay, but ye are folk that are being tested. 48And there were in the city nine persons who made mischief in the land and reformed not. 49They said: Swear one to another by Allah that we verily will attack him and his household by night, and afterward we will surely say unto his friend: We witnessed not the destruction of his household. And lo! we are truthtellers. 50So they plotted a plot: and We plotted a plot, while they perceived not. 51Then see the nature of the consequence of their plotting, for lo! We destroyed them and their people, every one. 52See, yonder are their dwellings empty and in ruins because they did wrong. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for a people who have knowledge. 53And we saved those who believed and used to ward off (evil). 54And Lot! when he said unto his folk: Will ye commit abomination knowingly? 55Must ye needs lust after men instead of women? Nay, but ye are folk who act senselessly. 56But the answer of his folk was naught save that they said: Expel the household of Lot from your township, for they (forsooth) are folk who would keep clean! 57Then We saved him and his household save his wife; We destined her to be of those who stayed behind. 58And We rained a rain upon them. Dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned. 59Say (O Muhammad): Praise be to Allah, and peace be on His slaves whom He hath chosen! Is Allah best, or (all) that ye ascribe as partners (unto Him)? 60Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth joyous orchards, whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto Him)! 61Is not He (best) Who made the earth a fixed abode, and placed rivers in the folds thereof, and placed firm hills therein, and hath set a barrier between the two seas? Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but most of them know not! 62Is not He (best) Who answereth the wronged one when he crieth unto Him and removeth the evil, and hath made you viceroys of the earth? Is there any Allah beside Allah? Little do they reflect! 63Is not He (best) Who guideth you in the darkness of the land and the sea, He Who sendeth the winds as heralds of His mercy? Is there any Allah beside Allah? High Exalted be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)! 64Is not He (best) Who produceth creation, then reproduceth it, and Who provideth for you from the heaven and the earth? Is there any Allah beside Allah? Say: Bring your proof, if ye are truthful! 65Say (O Muhammad): None in the heavens and the earth knoweth the Unseen save Allah; and they know not when they will be raised (again). 66Nay, but doth their knowledge reach to the Hereafter? Nay, for they are in doubt concerning it. Nay, for they cannot see it. 67Yet those who disbelieve say: When we have become dust like our fathers, shall we verily be brought forth (again)? 68We were promised this, forsooth, we and our fathers. (All) this is naught but fables of the men of old. 69Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Travel in the land and see the nature of the sequel for the guilty! 70And grieve thou not for them, nor be in distress because of what they plot (against thee). 71And they say: When (will) this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful? 72Say: It may be that a part of that which ye would hasten on is close behind you. 73Lo! thy Lord is full of bounty for mankind, but most of them do not give thanks. 74Lo! thy Lord knoweth surely all that their bosoms hide, and all that they proclaim. 75And there is nothing hidden in the heaven or the earth but it is in a clear Record. 76Lo! this Qur'an narrateth unto the Children of Israel most of that concerning which they differ. 77And lo! it is a guidance and a mercy for believers. 78Lo! thy Lord will judge between them of His wisdom, and He is the Mighty, the Wise. 79Therefor (O Muhammad) put thy trust in Allah, for thou (standest) on the plain Truth. 80Lo! thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call when they have turned to flee; 81Nor canst thou lead the blind out of their error. Thou canst make none to hear, save those who believe Our revelations and who have surrendered. 82And when the word is fulfilled concerning them, We shall bring forth a beast of the earth to speak unto them because mankind had not faith in Our revelations. 83And (remind them of) the Day when We shall gather out of every nation a host of those who denied Our revelations, and they will be set in array; 84Till, when they come (before their Lord), He will say: Did ye deny My revelations when ye could not compass them in knowledge, or what was it that ye did? 85And the Word will be fulfilled concerning them because they have done wrong, and they will not speak. 86Have they not seen how We have appointed the night that they may rest therein, and the day sight-giving? Lo! therein verily are portents for a people who believe. 87And (remind them of) the Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and the earth will start in fear, save him whom Allah willeth. And all come unto Him, humbled. 88And thou seest the hills thou deemest solid flying with the flight of clouds: the doing of Allah Who perfecteth all things. Lo! He is Informed of what ye do. 89Whoso bringeth a good deed will have better than its worth; and such are safe from fear that Day. 90And whoso bringeth an ill-deed, such will be flung down on their faces in the Fire. Are ye rewarded aught save what ye did? 91(Say): I (Muhammad) am commanded only to serve the Lord of this land which He hath hallowed, and unto Whom all things belong. And I am commanded to be of those who surrender (unto Him), 92And to recite the Qur'an. And whoso goeth right, goeth right only for (the good of) his own soul; and as for him who goeth astray - (Unto him) say: Lo! I am only a warner. 93And say: Praise be to Allah Who will show you His portents so that ye shall know them. And thy Lord is not unaware of what ye (mortals) do.

London, April 23 (IANS) Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor wants to find out the truth behind reports that his 'Slumdog Millionaire' young co-star Rubina Ali's father tried to sell her.
Anil is in Hollywood, where he's being honoured at the seventh annual Indian Film Festival, and he admits he has lost contact with the kids in the hit film, reported contactmusic.com
But he is determined to return to the real-life slums in Mumbai and track down the young stars to make sure that they are fine after their brush with overnight success.
In the meantime, he's distressed whenever he hears the youngsters have been caught up in negative press stories - and can't believe the British tabloid reports that Rubina's father tried to sell her to a bogus Middle Eastern couple.
The police have failed to find any evidence to prove Rafiq Qureshi attempted to sell his young daughter for $300,000 (200,000 pounds).
Anil, who played the role of a quiz show host in the multiple oscar-winning film, says he always feared the child stars of 'Slumdog Millionaire' would be exploited upon their return to India after a trip to the Oscars in February.
'That's the worry we always had. We all discussed that. When they're exposed to this kind of limelight, this is what is going to be the disadvantages,' he said.

Team leader Dr. Josh Cinner of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies and James Cook University, Australia explained: "We found clear evidence of people's ability to overcome the 'tragedy of the commons' by making and enforcing their own rules for managing fisheries. This is particularly encouraging because of the perceived failure of many open-access and top-down government-controlled attempts to manage fisheries around the world. More importantly, we have identified the conditions that allow people to make co-management successful, providing vital guidance for conservation groups, donors, and governments as to what arrangements are most likely to work."
The team studied local fisheries arrangements on coral reefs in Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea, using a combination of interviews with local fishers and community leaders, and underwater fish counts.
The study's main finding is that co-management has been largely successful in sustaining fisheries and improving people's livelihoods. More than half the fishers surveyed felt co-management was positive for their livelihoods, whereas only 9 percent felt it was negative. A comparison of co-managed reefs with other reefs showed that co-managed reefs were half as likely to be heavily overfished, which can lead to damaged ecosystems.
"However we also found that where fisheries are closest to big, hungry markets, they tend to be in worse shape," said Dr. Nick Graham of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies and James Cook University. "This strongly suggests globalized food chains can undermine local, democratic efforts to manage fisheries better. People often assume that local population size is the main driver of overfishing but our research shows that access to global markets and seafood dependence are more important, and provide possible l

Garcia throws 8 innings as Cardinals top Nationals
Wednesday - 3/27/2013, 9:00pm EDT
JUPITER, Fla. (AP) -- With all those minor leaguers the Washington Nationals were putting on the field, St. Louis manager Mike Matheny needed to make a call.
To the Cardinals' minor league camp.
Jaime Garcia pitched eight sharp innings against a young Nationals lineup, leading St. Louis to a 10-1 victory Wednesday.
Midway through the game nearly all the Cardinals' regulars had three at-bats, prompting Matheny to request reinforcements.
"I just didn't like the whole look of it all to be honest with you," Matheny said. "Cold day. We've had plenty of things here in the last few days make us a little gun shy. Not knowing who they were firing out there at us. All of it led me in the direction of, let's get (the regulars) a little bit of work and get them out."
The health of Garcia's arm was one of the Cardinal's biggest concerns entering the spring training, but he hasn't experienced any setbacks in Florida. He finished camp by allowing one run on six hits while striking out eight against a Washington team that did not contain a member of its 40-man roster.
"I'm right at the place that I need to be to start the season," said Garcia, who said he didn't know prior to the game he would be facing a bunch of youngsters. "I didn't really care, I was focusing on going out there and making my pitches."
The fact that Garcia stymied a Washington lineup that had combined for only 20 major league at-bats this spring entering Wednesday didn't faze Matheny, either.
"I think it has been a very good spring for him right from the start," Matheny said. "Once he got going right in his mind, his stuff just follows along."
Garcia managed only 20 starts last year because arm trouble forced him to miss more than two months in the middle of the regular season and later shut him down early in the playoffs.
The lefty pitched two innings during last season's playoff run in which the Cardinals came-up one game shy of a repeat trip to the World Series. Offseason shoulder surgery was an option, but Garcia chose rehabilitation without undergoing the procedure.
Garcia made all six of his scheduled starts this spring, posting a 2.48 ERA over 29 innings.
"The biggest thing was being able to go out there every fifth day, being able to trust your stuff, and get yourself in a position where you are ready to go for the season," Garcia said.
The Cardinals jumped on the Nationals for three runs in each of the first three innings on Wednesday. In the fourth inning Tony Cruz slapped an RBI single through the right side of a a drawn-in Nationals infield, putting the Cardinals up 10-1 and giving all eight position players in the St. Louis starting line-up at least one hit.
Shane Robinson, Daniel Descalso, Pete Kozma and Ryan Jackson all enjoyed multihit games for the Cardinals. Batting leadoff, Robinson also scored twice and drove in two more.
After spending most of the spring pitching with Class-A Potomac, Taylor Jordan started for Washington and allowed nine runs -- seven earned -- on 10 hits in 2 1-3 innings.
"I didn't think I would be nervous and then I got out there and it was like, eh -- stuff starts flying by," Jordan said. "Especially when I got up there to bunt and I hadn't faced a pitcher since sophomore year in high school. I felt so awkward up there."
NOTES: 3B David Freese (back), who will start the season on the DL, said he will not break camp with the Cardinals. Instead, he will remain in Jupiter to play in some minor league games. ... LF Matt Holliday returned to the St. Louis starting lineup one day after being scratched because of tightness in his rib cage. Holliday went 1 for 1 with two walks on Wednesday. ... RF Carlos Beltran was given the day off after returning to the field on Tuesday against the Mets. Beltran has been battling a toe injury. ... Lance Lynn will get his final spring training start on Thursday against Miami in what will be the final home game of the spring for St. Louis. ... The Nationals starting lineup featured four position players with spring batting averages of .000. They were a combined 0 for 3 prior to Wednesday. Bench coach Randy Knorr managed the Nationals in Jupiter.

More than half of the U.S. population now live in localities served by accountable care organizations and almost 30 percent live in areas served by two or more.
The figures come from a new analysis by the consulting firm Oliver Wyman, based on the Department of Health and Human Services' announcement of the latest class of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) approved to participate in Medicare's ACO programs. The latest round of approvals in January brings the total of Medicare ACOs to 259, up from 154 this past summer. The new additions contribute to a sharply rising potential level of influence for ACOs.
- According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), about 4 million Medicare beneficiaries, or about 11 percent of total Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries, will now receive their healthcare from ACOs. The corresponding figures in September were 2.4 million and 6 percent.
- Most of these Medicare ACOs also serve non-Medicare patients and are moving toward serving all their patients under ACO arrangements. That transition can take as long as four to five years. That said, the current number of patients served by the newly approved Medicare ACOs (including both patients currently under an ACO arrangement and those served through traditional contracts with payers) has risen by about 12 million, bringing the total number of patients served by Medicare-approved ACOs to 29 million.
- The total number of patients in organizations with ACO arrangements with at least one payer—both Medicare and non-Medicare—is now between 37 and 43 million, up from 25 to 31 million—or roughly 14 percent of the population.
"It's hard to know precisely how many people served by ACOs are currently cared for under true fee-for-value contracts," says Rick Weil, a partner in Oliver Wyman's Health & Life Sciences practice group who has worked extensively in creating ACOs. "Most ACOs today are still mixed models, with some patients being served through ACO-style or capitated contracts and some through more traditional fee-for-service contracts. It can take several years to shift an entire population from one model to another. But that total number of patients served by these mixed organizations is still important."

Observational Evidence for a Third Body in AS Camelopardalis
pdf ps
V. S. Kozyreva
A. I. Zakharov
Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Moscow, Russia
The eclipsing variable AS Camelopardalis is a binary system with
an anomalously slow apsidal motion. So far no acceptable explanation has been
presented for this phenomenon in the framework of classical theory of gravitation.
We observed this variable in 1981 and from 1993 to 1996. We determined the times
of minima and analyzed them to reveal a light-time effect with an amplitude of 3
minutes and a period of 2.2 years, thereby providing evidence for a third body in the
system. The allowance for the third-component effects may resolve the discrepancy
between the theoretical and observed rates of apsidal motion.

5WPR CEO Ronn Torossian Shares Tips From His Book
Some PR tips from my book, For Immediate Release:
1. Protect yourself. If you wouldn't talk to the cops without a lawyer, why would you talk to the media without your PR representative? In a crisis, have a good crisis and media attorney and PR person at your disposal.
2. Make time for the little things that go a long way. Make an extra effort to do those little things: thank clients and customers for their devotion, thank employees for their hard work, and send birthday cards to journalists. They will return your kindness in the form of referrals, loyalty, and more positive stories.
3. Live an ethical, balanced life with honor, integrity, and laughter. This pays big dividends for your business and life and your PR.
4. Old-fashioned networking never gets old. Put yourself personally and professionally at the center of networking, whether it's forwarding an interesting and relevant news story to colleagues via e-mail, helping to organize a social gathering, and so on. When you assist a colleague in the industry, or a reporter with a story you aren't involved in, it allows you to win long-term in PR.
5. There's always more to achieve. If you secure coverage in the USA Today, set your sights on The Wall Street Journal next time.

KP & Envyi "Swing My Way (Balam Acab Remix)"
Let us preface this post with a note that this certainly isn't the first time a producer has given away their remix of KP & Envyi's 1998 hit single "Swing My Way," but, hey, we're always down to check out new treatments of the R&B group's soulful vocals. Young producer Balam Acab recently offered his version of the tune via Twitter, and it's pretty much what you'd expect from the talented artist: aquatic samples mingling with pitched-down, slowed-down singing and a beat that sounds like Neptune's G-ride scraping the bottom of the ocean floor.

IF DRONES are ever going to monitor road traffic, say, they will need a way to automatically avoid other aircraft. This is vital in case the drone loses radio contact with its ground pilot, but the radar systems needed to see other aircraft are too heavy for most lightweight drones.
Now Debadeepta Dey of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has a possible solution. If drones only fly in clear weather, when visual flight rules allow light aircraft to fly without radar, corners can be cut. That means video cameras and image-processing software can do a drone's sense-and-avoid work, says Dey.
His team has written software that applies three filters to a drone's video feed. The first detects contrast deviations in the sky that might be aircraft in the distance. The next filter sorts distant aircraft from, say, much nearer birds by their shape. The third then tracks the motion of the object to see if it is steady and flies like an aircraft, rather than a bird, allowing false positives to be removed.
In early test flights the team has achieved a 98 per cent success rate at picking up aircraft at ranges of up to 8 kilometres (International Journal of Robotics Research, DOI: 10.1177/0278364911412807).

The Ruapehu region is a haven for trampers and hikers.
There are few places in the world where you have the choice of short and multi-day hikes in not one but two national parks; Tongariro National Park and Whanganui National Park. The Tongariro National Park holds dual status as a World Heritage area.
New Zealand's Nine Great Walks
New Zealand's nine Great Walks are premier tracks that pass through diverse and spectacular scenery. From native forests, lakes and rivers to rugged mountain peaks, deep gorges and vast valleys. Two of these spectacular walks are found right here in the Ruapehu region, the Tongariro Northern Circuit and the Whanganui Journey.
Most popular walks
Tongariro Alpine Crossing
This is popularly regarded as one of the world's great one day walks. Starting from Mangatepopo this walk features spectacular views, volcanic landscape and emerald green coloured crater lakes. A strenuous seventeen kilometre trek, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing is usually hiked from November to May and takes around 8 hours. More Tongariro Alpine Crossing information ►
Mt Ruapehu Crater Climb
Ascending to one of the five summits of the largest mountains outside of the Southern Alps, you will view the largest Crater Lake on New Zealand's active Mt Ruapehu volcano. The Mt Ruapehu Crater Lake Experience has got to be one of the best one day guided hikes you can do. Starting at Whakapapa ski area, take the chairlift to 2020 meters above sea level past ancient lava flows that have been carved out by glaciation in the last 300,000 years. Hike to Restful Ridge (about 2 hours) where the Ruapehu Crater Lake can be viewed. Then it's off back down through one of the glacial valleys that usually contains snow until February. The best time to climb to the Crater Lake is December to April. Allow a full day. A reasonable level of fitness is required with the ability to walk five hours with rest stops. Check out more information on the Mt Ruapehu Crater Climb here.
Other short walks within Tongariro National Park :
- Ohakune Old Coach Road follows a historic cobble road to the original Hapuawhenua Viaduct, Ohakune - Horopito
- Skyline Ridge is just a short walk from the Knoll Ridge Cafe, Whakapapa, Mt Ruapehu

Directed by Hong Hyung-sook (홍형숙)104min | Release date in South Korea : 2010/03/18
2003, Song Du-yul, a philosophy professor, decided to go back to his homeland after spending thirty-seven years in Germany. Within a week after crossing the border, his reputation fell from a respected global political figure to an infamous communist spy. During a five-year-long trial, he was arrested and held in custody. This throws Korean society into turmoil and brings a big conflict between the Conservative and the Progressive. The filmmaker calmly contemplates this long period of the incident in detail and depicts a society with an indifferent manner. The story builds through an accretion of whimsical facts and it sometimes brings up uncomfortable truths which will irritate viewers. This film is a camera inside of us that evokes what viewers may have tried to forget.

Nope. Just MP3s ripped from CDs using WinAmp. I've never had any problems with them before.
Has anyone else experienced GPRS issues recently.
I just wonder as I never use to, so I have put it down to the ROM update, but I have heard Orange have switched on their EDGE service in the last week............could this have an influence
Funny you should mention it; i started having problems with it today. A soft reset sorted it though.

Christopher & Banks Corporation (NYSE: CBK), a specialty women's apparel retailer, today reported results for the thirteen-week period ended April 28, 2012, its first quarter of fiscal 2012. As previously announced, the Company changed its fiscal year end to the Saturday nearest to the end of January, from the Saturday nearest to the end of February, to better align the Company's financial reporting periods with its operational cycle and with other specialty retail companies. Financial results for the first quarter will be compared to the thirteen-week period ended April 30, 2011.
Results for the Thirteen-Week Period Ended April 28, 2012
- Net sales totaled $93.6 million, as compared to $110.4 million in the comparable period last year. Same store sales decreased 15% in the first quarter as compared to the comparable period last year.
- Operating loss totaled $13.4 million and included a $0.8 million, or $0.02 per share, credit related to non-cash store asset impairment and restructuring charges. This compares to an operating loss of $8.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2011.
- Net loss for the quarter totaled $13.4 million, or $0.38 per share, including the $0.02 per share credit related to the above-mentioned non-cash asset impairment and restructuring charges. Net loss for the thirteen-weeks ended April 30, 2011 totaled $8.2 million, or $0.23 per share.
Joel Waller, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our financial results reflect continued customer resistance to the residual merchandise assortment that consisted of styles that were too updated and priced too high while lacking in key categories. While we were able to impact a small portion of the first quarter merchandise assortment with improved styles and a better price/value proposition, the majority of the assortment needed to be aggressively marked down.

This group is open to anyone who loves the Stargate shows, movies and anything Stargate! Anyone caught making fun of Stargate (outside of certain boundaries) will be removed from the group! No spoilers in the comments please. Comments that contain spoilers will be deleted. ALSO I'd like to make it very clear that any posts containing ads for other groups will be DELETED
July 2009 was jam packed with Stargate news, ranging from home releases to Stargate Universe.
Posted by SCΛRECROW on Aug 2nd, 2009
The complete collection with all 5 seasons of Stargate Atlantis will be released in a tin box set. The set is expected to be available on shelves in the US (Region 2) on October 6. for an price of about $260.
Jan Rubes, known for his portrayal in Stargate SG-1 of Nicholas Ballard; Dr. Daniel Jackson's grandfather has passed away at 89. While he only appeared in season 3's "Crystal Skull", he had a distinguished career appearing in over 40 films. Rest In Peace.
MGM has renovated the Official Stargate site, along with a sleek new look, the revamp has brought many new and improved features. Improvements and new features include; more videos (bloopers!), a larger photo gallery, Photosynth 3D tour, full SG-1 episodes (US only; easy there Mularac) and improved interactivity. Another significant change is the addition of the Stargate Universe section in preparation for the premiere of the latest show of the Stargate franchise.
The July trailer entitled "Survive" showed the Destiny stargate dialling, while the Comic-Con trailer gave us the first glimpse of the "Destiny" and an action packed look into the new series.
The "Survive" trailer can be seen here. The Comic-Con trailer can be seen here.
With the Stargate Atlantis "Fan's Choice" Blu-Ray release approaching, MGM and Fox stated that the "Fan's Choice" disc is the only "planned" Blu-Ray release for the Stargate Atlantis series. No word on the status of a Stargate SG-1 Blu-Ray collection yet, if any. Stargate Atlantis: Fan's Choice will be in stores on August 4.
SyFy (formerly SciFi) has announced October 2 as the premiere date for Stargate Universe. The premiere will be a 2-hour screening of the episode titled "Air". Those of us without cable TV in other parts of the world will have to wait...or not.
For those of us who did not go to Comic-Con, SyFy has graciously posted video of the whole Comic-Con Stargate Universe panel here, but a warning, the video is about 46 minutes, so it will be quite a large download. Plus, for a change, those outside of the US can view the video, enjoy!
sounds good hey i have sky do you think they will show it on sky 1 because they show sg1 teice a day at six oclock here lol
Not sure. Although Sky has the rights to SGU and plans to start airing episodes in Autumn (in the northern hemisphere).
That's Affirmative! Gateworld.net

New Albany has made a lot of noise the last two seasons in basketball, with most of the focus staying on the girls side. The state's top ranked team, who currently still hold a national ranking in the USA Today poll, will again make a push for a state title, but behind them, in the shadows, are the boys.
The Bulldogs traveled to Dyersburg, Tenn. last week to participate in a holiday tournament, taking on three tough opponents (Jackson Southside, Briarcrest and Brighton) and coming out on top as the tournament champions.
The win over Briarcrest is particularly special, as the Saints are one of the better teams from the Memphis area, and this is the second year in a row the 'Dawgs have come out on top in this match-up.
Talking with NAHS head coach Brad Gray Tuesday night, he noted that this tournament will hopefully help his team should they make a return trip to the postseason this year.
"We played quality teams who are very athletic and fundamentally sound," he said. "They play good basketball, and it was good competition for us and will help us down the road because if we're fortunate enough to make it to the north half tournament, we'll play the same kind of format; three good teams, three nights in a row, so it was good practice, and hopefully it will help us down the road."
Including Tuesday night's win over Itawamba, the Bulldogs have won four straight since their setback at Shannon last month, and that loss was the first in division for the 'Dawgs since the 2008-2009 season.
While New Albany is achieving success on the boys side, they are still somewhat under the radar, ranked fourth in 4A by the Clarion Ledger at 14-2, and behind Rosa Fort (17-0) who ended the Bulldogs' season last year.
The 'Dawgs are currently averaging 68.3 points per game, led by Tadarious Coburn with 16.8 points and 7.1 rebounds.
On top of Coburn's success so far this season, Gray has a ton of talent, both starting and even ones contributing off the bench, including Malcolm Spears, Moses Kingsley, Kareem Brown and Eric Chaney.
New Albany is reeling off impressive wins and will definitely make a run for, not only the county championship next weekend, but also their second straight division championship.
The rematch with Shannon is on their minds right now, which will take place on Jan. 18, and with the way the team is currently playing, Bulldog fans could possibly cheer on two teams in Jackson this year; a bold statement I will stand by myself.

Time to get a medication re-evaluation.
You should wait before you post and you won't feel stupid later...maybe
And? ....Is that why they are surpassing the USA? Or why we are debt for trillions to the chinese? "everything from china "breaks" if you buy their toys,,,,or dog food....or toys tainted with led....or have land in the china sea...yeah all in all the chinese suck, always have....but one cannot generalize to one #$%$ company.
Thinking about buying in soon. still need to do some research but so far seems like a solid investment.
Ask your father....like father like son...like dopes- in your case.
Vincent, glad to see you are a frequent user of your thesaurus.
You can't even write. You're the idiot. You're the moron. So, stop eating GMO foods it will help you control your drooling.
Popular weed killer deemed probable carcinogen by UN
By MARIA CHENG
22 hours ago
LONDON (AP) — One of the world's most popular weed-killers — and the most widely used kind in the U.S. — has been labeled a probable carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
The decision was made by IARC, the France-based cancer research arm of the World Health Organization, which considered the status of five insect and weed killers including glyphosate, which is used globally in industrial farming.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which makes its own determinations, said it would consider the French agency's evaluation.
The French agency has four levels of risks for possible cancer-causing agents: known carcinogens, probable or possible carcinogens, not classifiable and probably not carcinogenic. Glyphosate now falls in the second level of concern.
The new classification is aimed mainly at industrial use of glyphosate. Its use by home gardeners is not considered a risk. Glyphosate is in the same category of risk as things like anabolic steroids and shift work. The decision was published online Thursday in the journal, Lancet Oncology.
According to the French agency, glyphosate is used in more than 750 different herbicide products and its use has been detected in the air during spraying, in water and in food. Experts said there was "limited evidence" in humans that the herbicide can cause non-Hodgkins lymphoma and there is convincing evidence that glyphosate can also cause other forms of cancer in rats and mice. IARC's panel said glyphosate has been found in the blood and urine of agricultural workers, showing the chemical has been absorbed by the body.
Monsanto and other producers of glyphosate-containing herbicides, strongly disagreed with the decision. "All labeled uses of glyphosate are safe for human health," said Monsanto's Phil Miller, global head of regulatory and government affairs, in a statement.
The EPA's 2012 assessment of glyphosate concluded that it met the statutory safety standards and that the chemical could "continue to be used without unreasonable risks to people or the environment."
The French agency's experts said the cancer risks of the weed killer were mostly from occupational exposure.
"I don't think home use is the issue," said Kate Guyton of IARC. "It's agricultural use that will have the biggest impact. For the moment, it's just something for people to be conscious of."
Yeah, true. But I only see it as technological parasitism.
...can't make or develop anything so they just copy copy copy

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — After playing six games in eight days on the East coast, you might think the travel weary Portland Trail Blazers might be ready to run out of steam.
Blazers storm back to beat Bobcats 118-112 in OT
LaMarcus Aldridge had 25 points and 13 rebounds, Luke Babbitt hit a pair of clutch 3-pointers and Portland overcame an 18-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 118-112 in overtime Monday night.
The Blazers trailed 97-79 with 5:17 left in regulation, but stormed back to tie the score and sent it into overtime on Babbitt's 3 with 22 seconds left.
"We showed a lot of heart and determination," Aldridge said.
To win their second straight game the Blazers had to find a way to stop Ben Gordon, who set a Bobcats' franchise record with eight 3-pointers and finished with 29 points to eclipse 10,000 for his career.
Damian Lillard scored 24 points and Nicolas Batum added 17 points and 13 rebounds for the Blazers, who finish their seven-game road trip at Indiana on Wednesday.
"We are showing that anything is possible if we crack down and we play defense," Aldridge said. "Down the stretch we were aggressive, hit the board and started trapping off the pick and roll. We had to make Ben Gordon and (Kemba) Walker pass the ball."
Batum opened overtime with a big 3-pointer and the Blazers never trailed again.
Babbitt later added a clutch 3-ball to push the lead to four and Wesley Matthews finished off the Bobcats by hitting 4 of 4 free throws in the final 53 seconds.
Charlotte had a chance to win at the end of regulation but Kemba Walker's drive and fallaway jumper from the baseline didn't fall. The Bobcats wanted to get the ball to Gordon for the last shot, but he was well covered.
Walker penetrated, pump-faked and got a good shot off that didn't go down.
Walker finished with 22 points and seven assists for the Bobcats. Byron Mullens added 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Gordon, who is shooting 49 percent from 3-point range this season, began to heat up late in the third quarter and gave the Bobcats a five-point lead to open the fourth.
Charlotte carried the momentum into the final period opening with a flurry, scoring the first 12 points with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist adding six during the stretch and Gordon hitting two more 3s to push the lead to 18.
