Abbas meets Israeli FM at summit (BBC) 11/16/05 13:29 GMT)

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has met Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom at the UN internet summit in Tunis, an Israeli official says.
They held talks for about 30 minutes with the president of Mauritania, Ely Ould Mohammed Vall, the official said.
Elsewhere, international envoy James Wolfensohn said he was contemplating quitting his role.
He said he was frustrated at his inability to persuade Israelis and Palestinians to work together.
Heads of state and representatives from the United Nations and the European Union were meeting in Tunisia for the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).
The unscheduled meeting of Mr Abbas and Mr Shalom comes a day after a deal was brokered by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to reopen the Gaza-Egypt border on 25 November.
Israeli official Lior Ben-Dor said the Palestinian Authority president expressed his satisfaction with Tuesday´s agreement, which is seen as key for Gaza´s economy and Palestinian exports.
He also hoped the agreement would lead to further talks on a final peace deal.
Mr Shalom, however, raised Israel´s concern with the Palestinian militant group Hamas´s participation in January´s parliamentary elections.
It is Mr Abbas´s highest level meeting with an Israeli for months.
Tunisia broke off ties with Israel in 2000 after the outbreak of widespread Israeli-Palestinian violence knows as the second intifada. However, three Tunisian ministers were scheduled to meet Mr Shalom during his visit.
Mr Shalom was born in Tunisia, but his family left when he was a child. On Tuesday, he visited his birthplace, the port city of Gabes, with his mother who travelled from Israel with him.
Deal criticised
Hamas had earlier criticised Mr Abbas´s Palestinian Authority for having "accepted this weak accord and given the impression that it was a great accomplishment".
Mr Wolfensohn had criticised Israel of foot-dragging over the deal "This agreement does not respond to the needs of the Palestinian people," the group said in a statement.
"It stifles the Gaza Strip and turns it into a big prison, where departures and entries are controlled by guardian countries."
Middle East envoy James Wolfensohn has said he was frustrated that Ms Rice´s presence was needed to reach an agreement on the reopening of Gaza´s borders.
"If you are an envoy of the Quartet you have a certain amount of possibilities in negotiations," Mr Wolfensohn told reporters.
"If you are the secretary of state of the United States, I would have to say there is a little more clout associated with it. And to push it over the edge, one needs not envoys, but secretaries of state."
Mr Wolfensohn, an Australian-born former head of the World Bank, was named by US President George W Bush as a special representative of the Middle East Quartet (the UN, Russia, EU and US) earlier this year. (© BBC MMV 11/16/05)

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and grew up in poverty. This experience influenced 'Oliver Twist', the second of his fourteen major novels, which first appeared in 1837. When he died in 1870, he was buried in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey as an indication of his huge popularity as a novelist, which endures to this day.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.'I am the Ghost of Christmas Present,' said the Spirit. 'Look upon me!'A celebration of Christmas, a tale of redemption and a critique on Victorian society, Dickens' atmospheric novella follows the miserly, penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge who views Christmas as 'humbug'. It is only through a series of eerie, life-changing visits from the ghost of his deceased business partner Marley and the spirits of Christmas past, present and future that he begins to see the error of his ways. With heart-rending characters, rich imagery and evocative language, the message of A Christmas Carol remains as significant today as when it was first published.

Do you celebrate Christmas? Well if you don't your on the same level as Scrooge the main character of A Christmas Carol. Charles Dickens created a true masterpiece when he wrote A Christmas Carol, telling a story of a man who had to decide what is right to change his future. This fictitious story really gets the gears in your head turning. Scrooge is a very mean man in 1800s London. His business partner, Marley, dies at the very beginning of the story and later visits scrooge as a ghost. He tells Scrooge he will be visited by three ghosts. The Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. They take him through different parts of his life. All three have different personalities. Charles Dickens gives great details of the characters without telling you directly. Throughout the whole story Charles dickens keeps you wanting more of the story line and makes sense with the book. Overall it's a great book with sophisticated words, and I would recommend this book for all readers.
I read this book every year around the holidays and really enjoy it every time. I have seen many versions of the story such as Scrooge and a Christmas Carol in movies but nothing beats the book.
Enhanced means : Intensify, increase, or further improve the quality, value or extent of. So by an enhanced book they probably mean that it has error-text, no huge spaces between paragraphs. Stuff like that. It just means that they fixed it up so that you can enjoy it more. By the way, this is an amazing book. You should get it. Hope that i was of assistance to you.
It was a nice holiday story to finish out Christmas season. What was really nice was being able to listen to the audio and hear the story behind the story.
I love this book and the style of writing (Charles Dickens did, after all, write this in the 19th century) Eerie...and I was surprised by the way it really made me feel chills! But this book isn't just about the ghosts, it has a great moral of the story with a nice ending!
Really enjoyed this enchanced version, added more insight about the author. Enjoyed this classic book very much!
The audiobook mentioned was a selling point for me. It isn't a file, but a text internet address on the very last page of the ebook that the nook does not recognize as a hyperlink. Apparently this guy Sam Ngo went and found the free ebook with illustrations and also found a free audiobook file on an archive website somewhere and wrote out the file's internet address on the last page of the book and epub'd it. You would have to look up the file online from your computer, download the audiobook and physically hook up your nook to transfer the file from your computer to your nook. So why pay this guy 1.99? Just go out and find the free files yourself. Probably deleting this. Oh and you have to laugh when the guy says "money back guaranteed... just email us" and then he doesn't give you and email address.
Just in time for the Christmas Holiday. We really enjoyed it!!
Great for everyone
I give the book 3 starts because the story alone merits 5. The two stars I took away are because, while the book may be leather-bound, it is soft cover. Nothing in the description had alerted me to this. I have built up a decent collection of B&N Leatherbound classics and this is the first time I have been displeased with the quality of one of the books. I would still recommend buying it, but know that this is not like most of the other leatherbound classics.
For as often as I've seen the movies, I've never read the book and decided that this was the time to change that. A quick read, I only 200 pages on my Nook, but I was enthrall end with each word and quite surprised by how funny it was! Dickens isn't exactly famous for his sense of humor but the warmth, compassion and empathy that you really only see all in a rush at the end of te movie, has a chance to build slowly but surely in the book. Do yourself a favor - pick this one up and read it. I'm sure I'll read it again every Christmas season.
I love the story Christmas Carol and have it in every media you can get by everyone you can think of from the muppets to albert finney, but had never read the book so when I got my NOOK tablet for Christmas and so this I said it time to read the book or at least listen and I did both and it is still the most wonderful story at Christmas.
Best christmas book ever its a great classic book
The Introduction by Hal Moroz is a Blessing! It not only brings this wonderful Christmas classic by Charles Dickens back to life, it reminds us of the reason for the season! I highly recommend it to every family that wants to live the Christmas Spirit not only on December 25th, but throughout the year!
If you don't know about this book you should read it! It is full of christmas spirt and joy. Any kid or grown up will Love this book greatly.
It was okay but it was good over all. But it didn't really keep my atention at all, most of the time.
a really good book and if you are not sure about the qaulity of the book then dont worry it is good
Great book
I thought it wss a good book. I liked him being good instead of bad aka Ebenezer Scrooge.
"Bah! Humbug!" Set in Victorian England, this classic Christmas tale of reclamation and redemption by Charles Dickens features Ebenezer Scrooge, a bitter, greedy old miser, who is visited by the specter of his dead partner, Jacob Marley. Dickens skillfully weaves the story of Scrooge's life through the visits of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, and in the end we all learn that the true meaning of Christmas is love, joy, and brotherhood for our fellow man. Dickens is a masterful storyteller, and Christmas Carol is a masterful tale well worth the read. Rebecca E.
Awesome book Frightening, sadness, and calmness all at the same time. ;)
Book itself is great, however this ebook copy is terrible and filled with errors, its almost unreadable
Good classic read for the holidays. Love the linked chapter contexts in the front of the book.
He never gave poor people money
Ghyhhhhhhhhhh Hhhh J J J J J J J B J J J J

BUILDING underground at Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens is being considered as part of changes to the historic site.
Unveiling a master plan for the gardens, the new executive director, David Mabberley, said any changes would need to make the gardens more financially independent.
''If we do anything it will probably be underground. The point being we shouldn't be alienating green space with permanent buildings,'' he said. ''If we wished to expand the herbarium on this site, we have gone up as far as we can, we would have to go down in future.''
The sensitive site will undergo changes before its bicentenary in 2016, but Professor Mabberley said that he would not countenance ''concreting the place over''.
While there are no plans to introduce an entry fee, the Royal Botanic Gardens & Domain Trust is considering charges for events such as the Autumn of the Arts in the gardens.
An eminent botanical author and previously the director of the herbarium, library, arts and archives (what he describes as ''the dead stuff'') at Kew Gardens in London, Professor Mabberley is eight months into his new role in Sydney.
He said the majesty of the site presented an ''enormous opportunity'' to create the world's best botanic gardens organisation.
''What is astonishing to me is that the people of this state have, in 200 years, kept it free of development - that I think shows an enormous foresight on behalf of governments and the people of NSW,'' he said. ''You think what this would be worth in terms of real estate. If we want to do any developments in here it has to be done in the context of an overall picture and that will involve the other two gardens … We have to ensure that we don't go in and do a backyard blitz.''
But Professor Mabberley conceded the trust needed to maximise its assets. The trust will implement the recommendations of a 22-page peer review of the gardens, conducted by a team of international experts and approved by the Environment Minister, Robyn Parker.
The proposals will force the gardens to become more reliant on generating its own funding and include redeveloping the tropical centre pyramid and arc glasshouses into a multi-functional exhibition, education and function centre.
There will be a drive to attract more children to the gardens.
Kew Gardens in London has been accused of over commercialisation with treetop rope walks, carousels and a children's playground, but Professor Mabberley said he would resist such changes. ''This place offers a tranquillity and an educational opportunity, it is far too precious to trivialise and fritter away.''

I won't mention names just feats
person 1
stole children from towns, subjected them to severe torment, messed with their genes, and murdered everything that stood in his way. His total death toll would've probably been in thousands, either by his hands or by his subordinates.
Person 2
planned on murdering an entire city of thousands of people, including children, stringing them up and using their bodies as a sacrifice to gain the power to rule the world. his death toll is again in the thousands, if he/she had succeded
Person 3.
Had the main hero hadn't come along to stop her, her actions would've left the entire world into chaos, causing civil war and much strife, resulting in the murder of thousands of innocents. Other feats include being a traitor to those around her hurting only people on her side, but even the young. Had the hero hadn't stopped her hundreds of thousands of people would be dead or dying in a very unstable world.

I would like to know what is the pain comparable too in a moderate to severe case? I am considering a breast augmentation but hesitate because of the unknown pain post op. I've gotten mixed reviews of pain after surgery, some compare to gorged breast, after child delivery, some say excruciating pain. What is to be expected after a breast augmentation?
Post-op Breast Augmentation Pain - What is It Like?
Doctor Answers 7
Post Op Pain After Breast Augmentation
- Stiffness, swelling and bruising in the chest region: These are normal experiences as the skin, muscles and tissue heal. Pain medication and muscle relaxants will help you cope with any discomfort. Consistent sharp pain should be reported to your board-certified surgeon.
- Hypersensitivity of nipples or lack of sensitivity: This is normal and will gradually resolve over time.
- A mild to severe itchy feeling of the breasts is possible as healing progresses. An antihistamine like Benadryl can help to alleviate severe, constant itchiness. If the skin becomes red and hot to the touch, contact your board-certified surgeon immediately.
- Asymmetry, the breasts look different, or heal differently: Breasts may look or feel quite different from one another in the days following surgery. This is normal. No two breasts in nature or following surgery are perfectly symmetrical.
- Discuss returning to work with your board-certified surgeon, in our office it is typically 3-5 days post-surgery but you may not overexert yourself or do any heavy lifting.
- You may resume exercise and your normal routine at six weeks unless your surgeon advises otherwise.

Pain after Breast Augmentation
Pain is always experienced differently by different individuals. Pain after breast augmentation is mostly caused by stretching of the pectoral muscle. This will be affected by the tightness of your muscle, the way it joins the rib cage, and the size of your implants. Bigger implants obviously cause more stretch. Most pain occurs in the first few days, and then settles to feeling like engorgement with nursing or before one's period.
Your pain can be reduced by selecting and implant size that is appropriate for your body frame, having your surgeon inject Marcaine around the breast prior to incision, using a pain pump, adding muscle relaxers to your post-op pain med, avoiding a tight garment, keeping your activity level gentle, and gentle early massage.
Managing discomfort after breast augmentation
1) Injectable numbing done at the time of surgery (some can last for several days)
2) Muscle relaxants so your muscle is not as tense
3) Narcotics to help address pain. Usually more effective if you stay ahead of it
4) Non-narcotic medications (e.g. anti-inflammatories such as Advil)
You often find that discomfort does correlate with size of the implant and the degree of stretching of the soft tissue of the breast.
I would also revisit with your plastic surgeon if you are experiencing discomfort despite their post-operative measures.

Breast Augmentation Pain
Everyone has a different level of pain tolerance but most patients will be back to work in a few days if they have a desk job. So the pain usually isn't too severe.
Is augmentation pain like a work-out, a punch or a truck?
I have heard all three. Some people barely slow down. I have to argue with them to keep them out of the gym. Others (with more pain) are easily convinced to take it easy. This is the majority. They say they feel as if they have been punched in the chest, twice. Lastly, some suffer quite a bit, especially if gastrointestinal problems don't let them use the pain medication enough.
Pain after Breast Augmentation
Pain after Breast augmentation is normal and is handled with prescribed narcotics and/or valium. Pain is very variable from patient to patient but I recommend taking at least one week off of work. Pain also varies with the size , placement of the implant, and skin quality. Someone with very little and tight skin will have more pain with a 500 cc implant than someone with loose skin. Breast implants placed in the submuscular pocket are a little more painful than breast implants placed in the subglandular pocket. Breast implants placed through a transaxillary incision are in general a little more painful than implants placed through an inframammary incison or periareolar incision.
In summary , the pain is not too bad and is controlled with narcotics for up to a week.

Post-Op Pain
Post-operative pain varies from patient to patient. I find that my patients experience 1-2 days of pressure and soreness. The soreness being comparable to muscle soreness after a high intensity workout and the pressure feeling like a 10lb weight is sitting on your chest. It is tolerable pain and can be managed through prescribed pain medication which you will receive.

We're talking actual hunger; as in, 24.5% of our residents living below the poverty line type of hunger. Share Our Strength's Taste of the Nation is back this year again to fight childhood hunger by throwing a decadent soiree hosted by recent Bravo Top Chef finalist, Jennifer Carroll. Attendees will mingle with other notable chefs from around town while sipping drinks made by top mixologists as they "sample a copious array of culinary excellence from the best-of-the-best restaurants." Taste of the Nation will also feature silent and live auctions for such prizes as gift certificates, hotel stays, to "unique culinary experiences." (We're secretly hoping one such experience is working the grill at Jim's.) Tickets aren't cheap; they range from $85 to $135 for VIP admission, but it's all for a good cause; 100% of all ticket sales support Share Our Strength's efforts to end childhood hunger. Area organizations that will benefit from this year's event include Philabundance, The Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger, The Food Trust, and The Pennsylvania Hunger Action Center.

EARBY put their 100 per cent record on the line tomorrow as the Houldsworth Solicitors Ribblesdale League returns after a cup weekend.
And Richard Craddock's men are determined to carry on from where they left off as they make the journey to Salesbury.
The Applegarth outfit have impressed since the start of the campaign with new skipper Craddock and former Nelson man David Crotty looking good.
They had no game last weekend as a result of losing to Brooksbottom in the preliminary round of the Ramsbottom Cup and Craddock is hoping Earby will carry on from where they left off.
"We have done well so far," he said. "Obviously it's early doors but we are going in the right direction after last year."
They face a test at Ribchester Road against a Salesbury side who are bang in form with new signing Aneeq Hassan in the runs and long-serving professional Susantha Pradeep doing the business with the timber and the ball.
Cherry Tree are another side on a high after they beat Settle last weekend in the only Ramsbottom Cup tie not to be settled by a bowl out.
They host the Dalesmen again tomorrow but young talent Kelan Florentine is an absentee for Mark Hadfield's men.
Bowler Florentine swaps Preston Old Road for Emirates Old Trafford as he plays for The Last Man Stands XI against the Central Lancashire League in a warm-up ahead of Lancashire's Twenty20 Blast clash with Worcester.
Reining champions Clitheroe travel to Brooksbottom with youngster Charlie Dewhurst getting his chance to shine in the first team, while Read bid to bounce back to winning ways with a home clash with Brinscall.
Barnoldswick welcome Euxton to Victory Park and confident Padiham bring back veteran Peter Shirtcliffe for their trip to face Oswaldtwistle Immanuel at New Lane.
Great Harwood are finding wickets easy to come by this season with Stuart Maher in top form and he will look to add to his tally when Edenfield visit The Cliffe.

Kevin Durant stumbles in Oklahoma City Thunder's Game 3 loss
MIAMI – As midnight approached, a chagrined Kevin Durant sat dourly near his locker inside the Oklahoma City Thunder's cramped dressing room. The beaming smile the amiable 23-year-old phenom typically flashes was stashed in favor of a blank, sullen expression.
Durant clearly was unhappy late Sunday night and not merely about the result in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, a 91-85 triumph by the Miami Heat. He, too, knows that NBA teams that win the third game of the Finals win the championship 85 percent of the time.
Sitting on a stool, the lithe 6-9 forward slowly put on his argyle socks, the ones that matched his green jeans, plaid belt and white Converse sneakers. Despite his upbeat, fashionably nerdy appearance, Durant was a portrait of old-school NBA playoff misery. He checked his smartphone a couple of times, then glanced up to a reporter who had made a comment to him about a couple of questionable officiating calls.
"It took us out of our rhythm," Durant told USA TODAY Sports.
The NBA's three-time scoring king was referring to a pivotal moment in the third quarter that impacted the game. Durant was whistled for his fourth personal foul with 5:41 remaining in the quarter as Heat guard Dwyane Wade attempted to drive the baseline.
At the time, Oklahoma City led 60-54. Durant clearly disagreed with the call, which was debatable. Nevertheless, Thunder coach Scott Brooks gave his young superstar a seat on the bench. Durant soon was joined by teammate Russell Westbrook because of his proclivity for committing fouls.
It was the second consecutive game that Durant, who often has the challenging assignment of attempting to defend three-time MVP LeBron James, found himself in foul trouble. He picked up his fifth foul early in the fourth quarter of Game 2. In Game 3, he also committed five turnovers, blocked two shots and added a steal.
"I'm just trying to play aggressive on both ends and, unfortunately, I'm getting some fouls called on me, but I've got to play through it," Durant said. "Two games in a row, man, so I've just got to play smarter next game and, hopefully, I don't get no fouls called."
During the regular season, Durant averaged 2.04 fouls per game. During the 2012 playoffs, that number has risen to 2.38. But he's had five in each of the past two Finals games.
"Kevin is an aggressive player — I'd like to see him keep attacking,'' Brooks said.
Part of it is sheer physics, i.e., trying to slow an irresistible physical force of nature named LeBron James, who is four years older than Durant. At a muscular 6-8, the eight-time All-Star combines power and finesse better than any player in the world. It is an extremely difficult assignment for Durant because James outweighs him by at least 25 pounds. When James puts his head down to drive to the basket, he is a charging bull.
Nevertheless, Durant's fourth foul came after a whistle he did not think he should have heard — the one that was not blown in the final 12 seconds of Game 2, won by Miami. That was when James smothered him with a body bump and thwarted a shot that could have tied the game.
Durant studiously has avoided publicly criticizing the officiating in the best-of-seven series.
"I try not to concern myself with the officiating," Durant said. "They're going to make their calls, and there's nothing we can do about it. We can't change it. Just got to play through it. There's going to be some calls they may miss. They're human."
Despite his absence, Oklahoma City built on its advantage in the third quarter, leading by as much as 10 before the Heat closed fast and snatched the lead 69-67 entering the final quarter.
Nevertheless, teammate Kendrick Perkins said the critical moment affected Durant and, ultimately, the game's outcome. In the first half, Durant was in a groove, scoring a team-high 13 points and shooting 6-for-10 from the floor.
"We did what we needed to do to stick around; we bought time to get him back in the game," Perkins said. "He came back into the game but it kind of messed up his rhythm a little bit. He ended up getting it going but not like we needed him to (because) he sat out for so long."
Durant ended up playing only 39 minutes, about 4½ less than the man who tried to blanket him most of the evening, James.
Averaging 34 points in the series entering Game 3, Durant was limited to 25. He only reached the free throw line four times. From the floor, he converted 11 of 19 shots but only one of four from beyond the arc after shooting 8-for-18 on threes in the first two games.
In Game 1, Durant poured in 17 fourth-quarter points. In Game 2, he tallied 16.
Sunday, he had utterly forgettable final 12 minutes.
Durant scored only four points, shooting 2-for-6 and clanging a pair of free throws.
After re-entering the game to start the final quarter, Durant missed a pair of free throws with Miami nursing a 76-75 lead. Then, battling for position with James, he broke free but had a hook shot blocked by Heat forward Chris Bosh.
Durant's fifth foul came with 3:47 in the game. As James charged down court dribbling the ball, Durant attempted to take a charge. Instead, he was whistled for a foul on James, who still made the shot and then converted the free throw for an 84-77 Miami advantage.
Durant later told a reporter he did not think it was a good call by the official.
With about 1:10 left and Miami leading 88-85, Durant missed a runner off the glass that never touched the rim.
It was that sort of night for one of the league's transcendent talents.
As Durant left the AmericanAirlines Arena, backpack strapped to his slender back, he was consoled by various friends and handlers. After his news conference, he made his way back into the arena where he graciously posed for a few pictures and signed a couple of autographs. He was comforted by his mother, Wanda Pratt.
Durant also walked up to an elderly woman in a wheelchair, knelt down and warmly embraced her. It was his grandmother, Barbara Davis. He still wasn't smiling. But a hug from your grandmother never hurts.

While there are certainly plenty of unplanned pregnancies, it could be argued that this is a result of a lifestyle choice as well: the decision to have consensual procreative sex (for the sake of simplicity, let's leave nonconsensual sex off the table for this argument). Most pregnancies are planned in the sense that people want kids, then create the conditions for reproduction to occur. Either that, or they know that sex carries a risk of pregnancy and engage in sex anyway. After the jump, I pose a few questions that might elicit lively and interesting replies from fellow Boingers. I also have a few links to childfree sites for those interested in learning more.

2. Do non-parents end up footing part of the bill for parents (from school taxes to welfare)? Is there an opposite cost that parents absorb, like end-of-life care?
3. If everyone at work is asked to stay late, and a parent says they have to get their kid from daycare, is that excuse more valid than if a non-parent says they need to let their dog out?
4. Who (if anyone) is being "selfish" regarding parenthood or non-parenthood?

I was reading through my daily onslaught of newsletters, emails, blog posts, articles, etc. and I saw the word Engagement crop up more than a few times. The thought crossed my mind that five or ten years ago that term was not even on the radar for marketers or it had a totally different meaning. All of sudden, you better know what that means and how to implement the metric if you want to get a good marketing job.
I did a little digging and came up with a few posts that help define engagement and what it means to you:
- Engagement as metric
- Engagement Marketing: Share The Love
- Branding, Customer Engagement, and Neuromarketing
- Social Media Marketing: Rules of Engagement
- Sure it Sends Traffic, but What Do the Visitors Do?
- How do you calculate engagement? Part II
- Measuring Engagement Metrics for Social Media Marketing – Part 1
One thing that is clear is that engagement means something different to every marketer. Engagement for me might mean a lead while engagement for you could mean an online purchase or a website visit. I think the term is being defined by the day as we find new ways to measure our social and online marketing efforts.
What does engagement mean for you?

Former Director Says HP is Trying To Shift Blame for Disastrous Deal

Former Director Says HP is Trying To Shift Blame for Disastrous Deal
Sushovan Hussain – accused of fraud by Hewlett-Packard – uses a court filing to accuse HP of making unsubstantiated allegations of fraud
By Juliette Garside
Autonomy's former finance director has accused Hewlett-Packard of making unsubstantiated allegations of fraud to cover its own blunder in paying $11bn to buy the British software firm three years ago.
Sushovan Hussain, who along with Autonomy's founder Mike Lynch has been accused of fraud by HP, oversaw the sale of his firm for 11 times its $931m revenues in August 2011. A year later, HP wrote down the value of Autonomy by $9.9bn, $5bn of which it attributed to alleged accounting improprieties at the British group.
In his filing, Hussain claimed, citing a Bloomberg article of November 2012: "'The real story here is that HP grossly overpaid – again – for an acquisition … In other words: HP was the sucker. Now it's trying to shift the blame elsewhere.'"
The architect of the deal, HP chief executive Léo Apotheker, lost his job after just 11 months amid a storm of criticism from shareholders. He was succeeded by Meg Whitman, the former eBay boss, who approved the acquisition in her previous role as a non-executive director of HP. Hussain's filing claimed: "HP mismanaged the Autonomy merger, then shifted blame for the resulting write-down by characterizing accounting disputes as 'fraud'. This corrupt settlement is part of a larger effort by HP to cover up both its mismanagement of the Autonomy integration and its ploy to falsely accuse others. By his motion, Mr. Hussain seeks to shine a light on what HP wants to keep in the dark."
Hewlett-Packard said in response: "The bottom line is that Sushovan Hussain's interests and those of HP and our shareholders are diametrically opposed. It's preposterous for him to complain about HP and our shareholders joining forces and holding him accountable for the massive fraud that both believe he perpetrated upon the company. If Hussain is truly interested in clearing his name, he should welcome the coming suit."
Lawyers for Hussain have intervened to prevent a settlement between law firms representing certain HP shareholders, and the company itself. The shareholders were seeking compensation from HP after accusing the company of wasting cash on the botched acquisition.
A judge in the district court of Northern California is due to ratify the settlement on 25 August. Hussain has accused the law firms concerned, Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, and Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd, of "collusion" with HP, alleging the company has bought them off by promising to pay the lawyers a guaranteed $18m to help it pursue legal action against Hussain, Lynch and potentially other members of Autonomy's former management. They can share in potential financial winnings from that action, but the amount is capped at $30m.
But Hussain claims the US group does not want to defend its claims in front of a jury. He argues HP is hoping the case will never reach a court, because the company has no solid proof to support allegations of fraud. His lawyers are demanding access to the HP case files so that they can see the evidence.
"HP's opposition swells with bile, but its sound and fury signify nothing," Hussain's filing stated. "Without any support at all, HP calls Mr Hussain 'a fraudster', which he is not."
In a statement, Lynch said: "Evidence has shown the accusations HP made in November 2012 are wrong. Was this negligence or was it worse? It's time for Meg Whitman to answer."

BOLTON College's former Manchester Road campus is up for sale.
The site, which was granted outline planning permission for 100 homes and 400 square metres of non-food retail space last November, has been put on the market by PP Bolton LLP, Miller Metcalfe and Jones Lang LaSalle.
The college's new £70 million site in Deane Road opened in 2010 and the former college buildings were demolished in 2013 to make way for the new development.
Cllr Cliff Morris, leader of Bolton Council, said: "Westbrook Gateway site is one of a number of key regeneration sites in and around the town centre of Bolton. We are delighted to invite partners to deliver the new homes on it.
"Bringing new residential development forward within walking distance of the town centre will help to bolster the businesses there and continue the council's ambitious programme of regeneration for Bolton."
Offers are invited on either an unconditional basis, or subject to approval of reserved matters, and should be sent to the office of Jones Lang LaSalle, in Manchester, no later than February 28.
John Fletcher, of Miller Metcalfe Commercial, said: "We are delighted to be involved in the disposal of a key strategic development on the periphery of the town centre.
"It adds to an already growing list of opportunities that are presenting themselves in Bolton as a whole.
"These include the redevelopment of the Market Place shopping centre, the proposed development of Ason's Solicitors 40,000 sq ft office off St George's Road, and the bus and train station redevelopment at Great Moor Street.
"We have seen a number of exciting private and public development schemes that are starting to come to fruition in the town centre. This can only be a positive thing and, while it is early days, it will hopefully have a positive impact on the town."
It is hoped the Westbrook Gateway will bring more people into Bolton town centre.
