The AppsFuel Top 10: Back to School!
So, you've spent a few weeks on the beach, in the mountains, on the road or on a relaxing "staycation"... but, what now? It's time to set the alarm, check your wardrobe, sharpen your pencils and get back into the rhythm of school!
To help make the transition just a little less painful, we've assembled some apps that could come in handy for a student... to laugh, learn, research and get things done!

Quora: Quora is a continually improving collection of questions and answers created, edited, and organized by everyone who uses it. One way you can think of it is as a cache for the research that people do looking things up on the web and asking other people.

9 [Happy] Thoughts from the Single Woman
Incessant love songs, cheesy romantic comedies and cuddling couples on the street would all lead you to believe that being a single woman is an existence characterized by endless desperation, constant loneliness and deep, dark despair. But for most well adjusted women, that's far from the truth. Sure, there are moments of self doubt and insecurity; but for the most part, there's plenty to enjoy about your solo dolo lifestyle.
1. Thank God I don't have to shave my _____.
Fill in the blank. Every lady knows that when a man's involved you take a little extra time making yourself presentable. And that includes what's underneath your clothes. Making sure you're hairless or trimmed up right is vitally important. After all, an overgrown bush could really turn someone off. When you're sure that you and your lady friend won't be entertaining in the near future you can give your razor a bit of a break.

The Motherland Is The Global Economy's "Final Frontier"
By Charlotte Young
From famine in Somalia to genocide in Sudan and bombings in Nigeria, the media puts out a very bleak image of African development. But in economic reality, this couldn't be further from the truth. For investors in the global market, much of the real growth and opportunity is stemming from Africa.
Marketwatch reports the continent is "home to a host of fast-growing economies." In addition the growth possibilities have the potential to provide large returns.
Plamen Monovski, chief investment officer of Renaissance Asset Managers, one of the biggest investors on the continent, relays that the images of Africa "are rooted in the past" and the "BBC effect." "But Africa is now the last frontier left in the market. Nowhere else has the same kind of growth potential," Monovski tells Marketwatch.
The media seems to neglect Africa's stories of triumphant and success as it zeroes in on political unrest, poverty and hunger. But after enduring 30 years of stagnation and decolonization, Africa is growing rapidly. There are 11 African countries that now see growth rates higher that 7 percent annually, which is higher than the rates in East Asia. Nigeria, one of the largest countries in Africa, is growing at 9 percent a year, one percent below the magic percentage when economies really begin to take off. Three countries have already reached a 10 percent growth rate.
In addition, while many countries worldwide are facing labor shortages, Africa boasts of a rising labor force. With secondary school enrollment also rising, the continent will be able to see a generation of more educated youth as well.
All of the growth does not negate that there is truth in the media coverage. Governments across the continent have their share of problems, but what government doesn't? China has continued to succeed economically without a democracy and many Asian nations also face corruptions.
African infrastructure is not always the best, which can provide a setback to companies seeking to build presence. But with investments comes financial capital to improve upon roads and broadband connections.
Those that are forward thinkers understand how important it is that Africa continues to grow. With or without personal attachments to the continent, Africa's success is important to everyone. Its rise could help to alleviate much of the despair around the global markets and end the threat of another recession. As investors know best, there's nothing like an emerging market. Only they are capable of the "explosive growth," that provides the fast expansion effect desperately needed around the world.

Best (and Worst) Places to Get Your Swirl On
Interracial dating has gotten easier over the decades, and MOST places you go with your rainbow partner won't get you chased out of town by an angry lynch mob. But some places in the U.S. just seem to be a bit more open–or downright blasé–about interracial partnerships, while others are…well…a bit more conservative, or downright hostile.
If you're looking to get your swirl on, keep it on, and then set some roots, you might want to survey these top spots:
Growth Fears Hit Markets; Dollar, Treasurys Rise
(Wall Street Journal) — Fears about the pace of global growth hit financial markets hard Tuesday, with stocks sliding and investors rushing into the safety of the dollar and U.S. government bonds.Markets were already sharply weaker in Asian and European trading, and got an additional knock early in the U.S. trading day from a dismal reading of consumer confidence.

Apps And Downs
(The Economist) — SOME fight wars with words, others with numbers. Hardly a day passes without new data on mobile apps, the small applications that can be downloaded to smart-phones to perform all kinds of feats, such as accessing social networks, playing games and identifying unknown music. Apple recently announced that its App Store now offers 225,000 apps, which collectively have been downloaded 5 billion times. Android Market, the storefront for the operating system that powers many other smart-phones, now boasts 60,000 apps and is catching up fast. And GetJar, an independent mobile store that offers programs for all kinds of handsets, claims 72,000 apps and 1 billion downloads.

The Growth Of Black Communities Abroad
(News One) —In a world where visual indicators are prone to dictate social status, access to friendship circles and the overall social cohesion of minority communities, certain nations are proving just how reactive their societies are to the presence of growing minority populations. As globalization tends to be to the world's societies what a turbulent flight is to someone who's afraid to fly, black minority populations have become particularly controversial.

In Africa, Google Sows Seeds for Future Growth
(WSJ.com) — Despite some of the lowest Internet penetration rates in the world, Africa has enticed Google Inc. Lured by the continent's growth potential, Google aims to convince entrepreneurs, students and aid workers to make use of its search, mapping and mobile-phone technologies. But Africa—with roughly one billion inhabitants, over 50 countries and many regions that have limited access to electricity—presents huge obstacles.
Three Best Ways To Land An Incubator Spot
(WSJ) — Business-incubators programs provide entrepreneurial ventures with office space, services and counseling for little or no cost. (See related article, "Entrepreneurs Find New Way to Grow.") But while the programs have been expanding amid increased demand for their support, landing a spot in these can still be challenging, as they tend to be selective when considering applicants. Here are three best ways for start-up companies to land a spot in a business-incubator program:

U.S. Easter Spending Will Increase for First Time Since 2007
(Bloomberg) — U.S. consumers plan to spend as much as $14 billion on candy-filled baskets, lamb dinners and colored eggs for the Easter holiday weekend, a sign that non-essential purchases are rebounding.
The projected 1.8 percent boost would be the first increase in Easter holiday spending in three years, with food, candy and clothing leading the growth, according to IBISWorld, a Los Angeles-based research firm. Spending for the same period fell 8.3 percent in 2009 and 1 percent in 2008. Estimates are based on IBISWorld surveys, industry reports and sales figures.

Former MI chief says discourse over Iran must emphasize that Israel is not the only one concerned; says diplomacy must be exhausted prior to strike, which at best can delay bomb by five years
Published: 08.16.12, 00:30 / Israel News
Politicians, military officials and pundits has been increasingly pondering in recent weeks whether the ramifications of a military operation in Iran
outweigh the risks posed by a nuclear Islamic Republic, but a top security expert says that issue is far more complex than deciding whether to strike or not to strike.
Related articles:
But Yadlin also states that without a credible threat of military action, diplomacy and other strategies to block or delay Iranian nuclearization would be ineffective. In addition to sanctions, he lists negotiations, covert action and regime change as alternatives to a strike.
Meanwhile, the international community must ready for the possibility that no such agreement will be reached, Yadlin says: "It is also important to build up maximal legitimacy for a future strike should diplomacy fail."
"An open, in-depth dialogue between Israel and the United States may, to the extent there is trust between the two leaders, lead to the possibility of realizing the third option, i.e., neither 'the bomb' nor 'the bombing,'" Yadlin says.
Addressing the Iranian retaliation to an attack within its territory, Yadlin postulates that it won't be as perilous as suggested by some US officials.
"The Iranian nuclear issue is a strategic, security, and political challenge to the entire international community, and Israel must avoid leading the global charge against Iran," he emphasizes. "It behooves Israel to take a back seat and not assume exclusive responsibility for preventing Iranian nuclearization."

Mark 'Indy' Kochte shot this night sky time-lapse in Joshua Tree National Park in on two separate weekend visits, one in September, one in November during the 2012 Leonid meteor shower.
What's happening when? Here are Mark's "Geeky Astro Details."
The bright star-like object that appears from behind a sky-silhouetted Joshua Tree at 0:15 is Jupiter.
Jupiter also appears at 0:24, 0:38, and rises through the Arch near White Tanks Campground at 0:57.
The shadows that play across the rocks in the Arch sequence are from the moon setting behind the camera.
Venus makes an appearance at 0:50 and rises during the final sequence at 1:38
The star trails at 1:13 were created using StarStax. On the left side of the field of view at 1:19 you'll note the appearance of a bright shaft of light. That was a minor fireball from the Leonid meteor shower. All the other streaks you see shoot across the field of view are planes.
The final sequence (at 1:28) features a classic instance of Zodiacal Light, the glow you see in the sky as the camera pans from right to left. It was very evident with the naked eye. It took me a while to figure out that it wasn't light pollution from a distant town (of which there are no light domes in that direction from Joshua Tree), but rather an extremely vivid case of Zodiacal Light. (I have only seen it this bright once since during a trip to New Mexico in 2013)
The lights on the hill from 0:33 to 0:38 are of some night hikers a few miles away from where I was shooting.

All-Stars Wrestling of Florida âہ"Full Throttle" results w/Bill Alphonsoâ€
Aug 21, 2010 - by Steve Gerweck
Please credit Alan J. Wojcik of www.owwradio.com thank you
All-Stars Wrestling of Florida weekly Friday events are held at Stroker's of Tampa, 11236 W. Hillsborough Ave. with an 8pm belltime. By the decree of ASW Commissioner "Gentleman" Joe Littrell, tonight marked the launch of a 16 man, bracketed tournament to decide the new #1 contender to Alex Decay's ASW Heavyweight championship.
(1) âہ"Dancing Machine" Bobby Fonta defeated D. Ramos of the NY Ricanz (w/D. Lee)
Ramos was not happy to see Fonta break out the dance moves and decided to go rope to rope with him. Fonta was too smart and slid to the floor to sit in the front row as Ramos nearly ran out of gas. Ramos was waiting for Fonta and he jumped him when he got back in the ring. Fonta was victim to a beatdown from Ramos and a verbal beatdown from Lee at ringside. Fonta fought back as the fans cheered him on motivating him to kick out of several near falls. Fonta got his groove back and went on the attack. The Ricanz had some miscommunication and it cost Ramos who was pinned following a DDT.
Don Maximo of the FXE came out ready to attack Fonta. Just when it looked like it was was going to be lights out for Fonta's dancing spotlight, âہ"Gentleman" Joe Litrell came out and laid down some new laws. If anyone in FXE attacks Bobby Fanta and his holding a championship they will BE STRIPPED! If Simon Sez or Maximo touch Fonta they will be fired.
(2) Wayne Van Dyke defeated Brendan Scherer.
Both men traded moves until Van Dyke's face met Scherer's boot. Scherer went right to work on the head and neck with a vise hold. Van Dyke fought out only to have his sunset flip turned into an elbow drop for two. The match ended up on the floor where Van Dyke hit a tope'. Van Dyke went up top but Scherer fell into the ropes causing testicluar damage. But Scherer made a tactical error and got caught in a Code Red like move to get Van Dyke the win.
(3) In a first round match of the Contender's Tournament, âہ"the Encore" Aaron Epic defeated Josh Rayne of the Virus.
Epic and Rayne left off where they did the last time they faced off, with Epic trying to end the match in record time. Rayne was alone with no members of the Virus in attendance so he had to rely on his own skills. Epic broke in his new kickpads by kicking Rayne several times in the shoulders. The match went to the floor where Epic chopped Rayne and choked him on the bottom rope setting the Ole' kick but not getting three. Rayne avoided contact and delivered a running kick of his own, which stopped any momentum âہ"the Encore" had going. Rayne followed with a missile dropkick for two then working on Epic's neck & shoulder. Rayne went for a lucha like move but got cut off and Epic hit a T-Bone suplex which stopped both men. Epic was the aggressor with the thousand chops in the corner followed by another facewash. Epic was ready to win but he was tagged with a superkick followed by an enziguri and double boot to the face getting two. Rayne was hit with a Wizard and a Burning Hammer like slam but got two. Rayne countered a hold and hit Epic with a tombstone piledriver for two. In the end it was Epic who got his hand raised in victory.
The Highwaymen, Ferrari and Star Stevens made their way to the ring to air their greivances with the way thing went down in the ASW Tag Team championship match last week. This brought out the ASW Tag Team champions Gu$ Money & âہ"the Prodigy" Mike Cruz with Don Maximo of the FXE ready to fight. But the ASW officials and âہ"Gentleman" Joe Litrell broke it up before it got started. Some heated words were exchanged but cooler heads prevailed. Litrell asked the Highwaymen to get out of the ring so the ASW Tag Team championship match could begin.
(4) ASW Tag Team champions Gu$ Money & âہ"the Prodigy" Mike Cruz of the FXE (w/Don Maximo) defeated Super Grover and Afro Boy.
The champions tried to verbally intimidate the challengers but it fell on deaf ears. Gover & Afro Boy controlled the tempo until Cruz reversed a waistlock and it sent Grover right into a forearm shot from Money. This allowed the champions to take over on Grover for several minutes with some assistance from Maximo. In between moves the FXE talked trash with Highwaymen who were sitting with the fans drinking some beers. Grover fought back defeated close to thirty times and after a spinning sitout slam he tagged in Afro Boy. Afro Boy took on the champs solo nearly getting the win on a Northen Lights suplex. Money & Prodigy were hit with a Afro Boy bodyblock for two. But in the end Afro Boy fell to a top rope senton and legdrop combo. After the match the champions taunted the Highwaymen and the fight was on. The champions were holding their own using the champioship belts as weapons while the Highwaymen used folding chairs to even the sides. Security and ASW officials were involved again, keeping the parties apart as the Highwaymen stood tall in the ring holding the championships.
(5) In a first round match of the Contender's Tournament, FXE member âہ"Emerald Emperor" Simon Sez defeated Maxwell Chicago (w/Flex.)
Chicago serenaded the fans with a new song, only to be stopped by Simon Sez who told Chicago and the fans he was only a few victories away from regaining HIS championship. Chicago tried to jump Sez before the bell but got piefaced to the face. Chicago threw his coat on the referee and this allowed Flex to toss in the Shake weight in the ring which Chicago introduced to Sez's gut. Chicago tossed Sez to the floor allowing Flex to get in a workout tossing Sez around ringside. After a referee confab, Chicago joined Sez on the floor only to toss him back in the ring for a two count. Chicago hit a second rope splash but got only two. Chicago locked in a body scissor hoping to get Sez to tap out. But Sez fought to his feet only to get locked in an abdominal stretch which was made worse as Flex assisted from the floor. The referee finally caught the cheating and kicked Flex's hand which allowed Sez to drop Chicago on the ropes crotch first. Sez got on the attack with punches, kicks and knees to Chicago's body. Sez followed with his Simon Series but Chicago got his feet on the bottom rope. Chicago recovered and hit a rolling beckbreaker for two. Chicago and Flex tried to end it all but their tricks finally backfired and Sez leveled Chicago with a lariat to move on in the tournament.
âہ"Gentleman" Joe Litrell came out and presented the new ASW Florida Elite championship to FXE member Biff Slater. Just when Slater thought his evening was over, Litrell told him that he had a match with Raymond Snow!!
(6) The ASW Florida Elite champion Biff Slater defeated Raymond âہ"Killing Machine" Snow.
When the bell rang Slater dipped to the floor to have a solo meeting. Slater finally re-entered the ring where Snow slapped him on a corner break. Slater fired back with a snapmare and a kick to the neck. Snow jumped up and kicked Slater in the gut several times causing the champion to fall into the corner. Snow brought him to his feet to lay in several chest chops but Slater fought back with shoulder blocks. Snow countered again hitting two elbow drops for a two count. Slater missed a corner splash butr Snow didn't miss a corner clothesline or corner Rolling Thunder for two. Snow hit an STO for two and followed with a second one also for two as Mike Cruz came out to distract Snow. Snow missed his discus clothesline and Slater won with ring shaking spinebuster.
The FXE came out to the ring to celebrate Slater's victory but âہ"Gentleman" Joe cut it off, saying he wanted Bobby Fonta at ringside. Several ASW officials surrounded the ring reminding the FXE they cannot touch Fonta. Litrell said some ASW stars had disadvantages in the tournament. Litrell had a gift for Fonta, he will be advised in his match next week by former ECW/TNA manager Bill Alphonso!! All of the FXE left except for Slater and that turned out bad as Alphonso's encouragment motivated Fonta to slide in the ring and hit Slater with a DDT. The stunned champion was helped out of the ring as Fonta danced around ringside with the championship belt.

Tips for Pregnancy Week 2
Nine Months: Give or Take
So, here you are. Where is here? Well, at two weeks into the pregnancy calendar, you aren't technically pregnant yet. Seems crazy, right?
Yet, you are here, reading this; so chances are that pregnancy is on your mind. There are so many questions you may want the answers to, and so many things you feel you should know. What should you know?
Pregnancy can be everything, and nothing, like you expect. It can be the most fulfilling, amazing, terrifying, and completely overwhelming experience of your life. The best you can do is to take it all as it comes, and be willing to learn – because knowledge is power. Your responsibility for your child begins before you've ever met them, seen them, or held them.
Find a doctor you feel comfortable with, because you will be visiting and calling often. Read some books, or articles, on aspects of pregnancy and birth that interest you; but be sure to consider your sources. The 1984 version of What to Expect When You're Expecting will have a different take on many issues, versus the current version. Remember also, the internet is a wonderful and terrible thing. Researched articles (such as the great ones you can find here on EverydayFamily) can be a great source of information, but remember that anyone (and I do mean anyone) can write a blog.
As you begin your research, remember that you don't have to know it all now. The med-free delivery that sounds so horrifying to you now might be more appealing after a few months of getting to know your pregnant body, and your birthing options. Take in the information available, but be easy on yourself. After all, you've got nine-and-a-half more months to think about it.
Wait, you say. Pregnancy lasts only nine months, right? Well, yes and no. So here, in the second week, the difference between weeks and months begins to be revealed. The average pregnancy lasts 37 to 42 weeks. Depending on how many weeks you like in your months, and averaging it at four, that would make 10 months. So why do people say it is nine? The best way to avoid all this confusion is to date your pregnancy in weeks, as the doctor will.

This is a flat ski. If you have the NIS plate, you can definitely use NIS bindings with this ski. Or you could use NNN bindings if you do not have that NIS plate. Either way, NNN BC tour bindings would be sweet!

Steve Nordquist, a member of the 49th Logistic Readiness Squadron, sands paint off of the side of an R-11 fuel truck April 30. Damage to the side of this truck warranted the need for a new coat of paint. Before the side of the truck was refaced, they removed the remaining paint to leave a smooth surface. It was then placed inside a large facility that helps protect the environment and the painter from chemicals that are used in the process. Keeping the correct identifying marks clearly visible at all times ensures that safety standards are met, while having workers informed of the correct use for each vehicle.

Generals and aspect: Salt is so common an article of diet that it has been assumed that it could be of no use in medicine.
This is only the opinion of men who, operate entirely on the tissues. There are no constitutional effects from crude salt.
One may find an individual growing thin with all the symptoms of salt; he is taking salt in great quantities, but digesting none of it. Salt will be found in the stool, for it does not enter into the life. There is a Natr. mur. inanition, a starving for salt. The same is true of lime. Children can get plenty of lime from their food and that is better when the salt or the lime is given in such shape that it cannot be resisted by the internal man – aimed not at the house he lives in, but at the individual himself-then the bone, salt inanition, the Natr. mur. inanition, will soon pass away.
We do not with our small dose supply the salt that the system needs, but we cure the internal disease, we turn into order the internal physical man, and then the tissues get salt enough from the food. Drugs must all be administered in suitable form. We may need to go higher and higher until the secret spring is touched.
Natr. mur. is a deep acting, long acting remedy. It takes a wonderful hold of the economy, making changes that are lasting when given in potentized doses.
A great deal is presented that can be seen by looking at the patient, so that we say: this looks like a Natr. mur. patient. Experienced physicians learn to classify patients by appearance. The skin is shiny, pale, waxy, looks as if greased. There is a wonderful prostration of a peculiar kind. Emaciation, weakness, nervous prostration, nervous irritability.
Mind: There is a long chain of mental symptoms; hysterical condition of the mind and body; weeping alternating with laughing; irresistible laughing at unsuitable times; prolonged, spasmodic laughter.
This will be followed by tearfulness, great sadness, joylessness. No matter how cheering the circumstances are she cannot bring herself into the state of being joyful. She is benumbed to impressions, easily takes on grief, grieves over nothing.
Unpleasant occurrences are recalled that she may grieve over them. Consolation aggravated the state of the mind – the melancholy, the tearfulness, sometimes brings on anger. She appears to bid for sympathy and is mad when it is given.
Headache comes on with this melancholy. She walks the floor in rage. She is extremely forgetful; cannot cast up accounts; is unable to meditate; forges what she was going to say; loses the thread of what she is hearing or reading. There is a great prostration of the mind.
Unrequited affection brings on complaints. She is unable to control her affections and falls in love with a married man. She knows that it is foolish, but lies awake with love for him. She falls in love with a coachman. She knows that she is unwise, but cannot help it. In cases of this kind Natr. mur. will turn her mind into order, and she will look back and wonder why she was so silly. This remedy belongs to hysterical girls.
In a mental state where Ign. temporarily benefits the symptoms, but does not cure, its chronic Natr. mur. should be given. It is as well to give Natr. mur. at once if there is an underlying constitutional state too deep for Ign.
Modalities: Aversion to bread, to fats and rich things.
The Natr. mur. patient is greatly disturbed by excitement, is extremely emotional. The whole nervous economy is in a state of fret and irritation, < from noise, the slamming of a door, the ringing of a bell, the firing of a pistol, < music.
The pains are stitching, electric-like shocks, convulsive jerkings of the limbs on falling asleep, twitchings, shooting pains. She is oversensitive to all sorts of influences, is excitable, emotional, intense.
Complaints come on in the warm room, worse in the house, she wants the open air. The mental complaints are > in the open air. She takes cold easily from sweating, but is generally > in the open air, though worse on getting heated; < by sufficient exertion to heat up, but > by moderate exertion in the cold air.
Both Natr. carb. and Natr. mur. have the general nervous tension of Natrum, but one is a chilly patient, the other warm, blooded.
Face: The face is sickly looking, the skin greasy, shiny, sallow, yellow, often chlorotic, covered with vesicular eruptions around the edges of the hair, the ears and back of the neck.
There are scaly and squamous eruptions, with great itching, oozing a watery fluid, or sometimes dry. An exfoliation takes place, a shining surface is left. In the meatus, scales form, and peel off, leaving an oozing surface.
Watery vesicles form about the lips and wings of the nose, about the genitals and anus. Vesicular eruptions, white, oozing a watery fluid, come and go. Great itching of the skin is present,
The skin looks waxy, dropsical. There is great emaciation, the skin looking dry, withered, shrunken. An infant looks like a little old man. There is a down on the face that passes away when improvement sets in. Emaciation takes place from above downward.
The collar-bones become prominent and the neck looks scrawny, but the hips and lower limbs remain plump and round. Lyc. also has emaciation from above downward. The directions of remedies will often enable us to distinguish one from another.
Discharges: The characteristic discharge from the mucous membranes is watery or thick whitish, like the white of an egg.
There is a marked coryza with a watery discharge, but the constitutional state has thick, white discharges. He hawks out a thick, white discharge in the morning. There are gluey oozings from die eyes. From the ears flows a thick, white, gluey discharge. The leucorrhoea is white and thick.
With the gonorrhoea the discharge has existed a long time and become gleety. There is smarting m the urethra only after urination.

I admire your courage Roseanne and I agree with your hypothesis that most Israelis are being manipulated but unless you embrace the racism and hate that Zionism breeds you're defending one team at the expense of peace.
Again. I admire you and this interview tells me the bits I think you need to explore in your ongoing research. The people who really run things don't care about religions and will toss one race into the fire when needed. But they will use them first and that train is in motion.
Hey Rosanne,
I wrote to you yesterday to let you know that facebook had locked me out of the page I administrate, Angelfire Network, for posting you and Becky's stuff there! They let me know, The Facebook Governess, in a round about way that they would give me back Angelfire Network if I never post you there again! Darn it!!! I probably will under comments elsewhere he he! But just so you know I am here for ya if you need anything!
Much love to you!

Emil Herman - November 05, 2013
Emil W. Herman, 85, of Pine Bluffs, Wyo., died Nov. 5, 2013, at home. He was born July 29, 1928, in Kimball, Neb., to Robert and Martha (Onigkeit) Herman.

Authorities say medical officials found no signs of injury during an exam of a man suspected of smuggling a handgun into a North Carolina jail.
Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown told The Daily News of Jacksonville that a medical exam on Friday showed that 22-year-old Michael Ward of Canton, Ga., had suffered no injuries.
Deputies said last week a gun was found inside the cell of Ward. Authorities wanted medical officials to evaluate Ward for possible injuries to his rectum, where deputies think he concealed the handgun.
North Carolina deputies stopped Ward last week for speeding. He is wanted on a murder charge in Atlanta.
Ward was being held at the Onslow County jail without bond.

I was delighted that the Folger with the support of the Irish Arts Council provided this opportunity to hear 2 Irish poets that rarely come to the U.S. I was particularly thrilled to hear Paula Meehan, as women poets in Ireland don't often get the recognition they richly deserve. The setting was ideal for the reading, the moderator knowledgable, and the introductions lent much to the evening. Street parking near the Folger Theater is easy to find on a weekday evening, and the proximity to the Library of Congress and Capitol make it a relatively safe neighborhood. at night

This question already has an answer here:
Now, I know this question has been answered a load of times but please read my question before downvoting it.
I was question banned in June due to bad question (4 closures, 2 duplicates and -8 in votes), at that time, I had 150 reputation points, so I fixed what could be fixable of my questions and I answered a lot of questions and most of my answers got upvoted or chosen as the correct answer. I'm currently at 915 reputation points, yet my question ban is not yet lifted.
According to the topic which I am redirected to as soon as I see the question ban message, it says I should answer a few questions that get upvoted and I might get the ban lifted but I'm pretty sure I've answered at least 20 questions which most of got upvoted or chosen as the correct question.
Above is my rep per day graph and it's not that bad really.
So if anyone could help me in what I could do more to lift the question ban or give me any specifics that would be greatly appreciated.

This is the best gadget I have bought. It is brilliant! It really is plug and play, I have just pluged it into my sons laptop, and without further ado, it was up and ready for use. You dont have to worry about putting it back correctly into it's cradle so it's great for lazy kids or adults. It's light, responsive, practical. You can even use it in bed! but not in the biblical sence. Deffinitely would recomend this to anyone, in fact I am purchasing one for my husband.

Having y
our first child can be overwhelming. There are so many unknowns. While expectant parents spend hours thinking about names and working on the nursery, many don't put in that time when it comes to educating themselves. One Ob/Gyn estimates only 20 percent of his patients take a prepared childbirth class. In July's Health Check report -- why it's time well spent.
Three-week-old Mark is everything to his mom, Lisa Niedzwiecki, but Lisa knew overwhelming love wouldn't be enough to take care of her first baby, so she and her husband took prepared childbirth classes.
"There were days I didn't want to go," she said. "But I'm really glad now that I did."
The series of hands-on classes helped Lisa feel more confident. She could practice something like swaddling until she excelled at it.
Lisa says, "I didn't even understand. I just thought, 'oh, they want to be wrapped up,' so I probably would have just put them in one but knowing how to do it so he doesn't get his arms out made a huge difference 'cause when he's fussy and you swaddle, he stops."
Dr. Sami Zienedine believes in that empowerment. The Alegent Health Ob/Gyn knows each delivery is as different as a baby's face but when parents are educated about things like stages of labor, epidurals and forceps, they become better teammates.
"It won't be the first time they hear about it," Dr. Zienedine said. "That sudden shock is not good and it's not the best time for them to be hearing new words or about new procedures when they're in a vulnerable situation."
It made a difference, not only for Lisa, but for her husband.
Lisa told us, "My husband had never been around little, little babies so that made a big difference for him because he wasn't so nervous to hold him and he jumped right in and changed diapers and he knew what to expect too."
When questions pop up now, Lisa refers back to a book from class. And as Mark gains weight and grows, it reassures his parents they're all on the right track.
Alegent Health offers a series of prepared childbirth classes at different locations. Refresher courses are also available.

Nadia Bjorlin's Five Greatest DAYSBy Posted: Jun 9, 2008
Chloe Lane started out an ugly duckling. Remember the "Ghoul Girl" taunts she received in high school? But she emerged into a beautiful swan. Through it all, her portrayer, Nadia Bjorlin, has amassed some very special memories. Read on as she picks Chloe's top five moments through the years on DAYS OF OUR LIVES.
"My very first Last Blast Dance will always stand out. It was the first time I wore anything different from big, black clothing. That was certainly special and nerve-racking, too. I'd gotten so comfortable wearing my…almost nun garb. I wore the same shoes every day. I wore the same big oversized pants and baggy sweaters. I got comfortable in that role. I really started feeling Chloe and that awkwardness. That's the funny thing as actors — we really take on what we're doing and what we're playing. It affects the way we walk and talk. When I had to put on that tight red dress for the dance, it actually made me nervous. Oh, my God! It was really Chloe's coming out party. I thought, 'Am I going to feel comfortable on national television wearing very sexy clothes?' I remember taking off that hooded cape at the dance and shaking my hair down. It was funny because the cape weighed so much, and they wanted me to remove it in a very particular way. I almost lost my balance when I took it off. I felt like I was going to fall over. It was so awkward, and I felt anything but sexy."
"The crazy episode where Belle had a weird dream about her, Shawn, Philip and Chloe on the beach was funny. It was this weird alternate-universe reality thing. That was a location shoot. We went to Malibu; it was shot on Zuma Beach. I was bald. Farah Fath (Mimi) was a mermaid. We were all seriously overacting and laughing our heads off. I remember it was freezing outside, like 50 degrees, and we were miserable. I had to wear a gold lamé bikini. (Costume designer) Richard Bloore actually made that bikini for me. The whole thing was really funny, a big spoof, a major parody."
"The 'Broe' (Brady and Chloe) vs. 'Phloe' (Philip and Chloe) thing was big. There's not one particular moment, but I certainly felt flattered and honored through those times when people really felt passionate about which couple they wanted together. The Phloe and Broe fans really tried to outdo each other sending things to the studio. That was a kick. The Phloe fans sent bales of hay, because Chloe and Philip almost made love on the hay in the Kiriakis stables. They sent champagne glasses and these little stress balls that said, 'Philip and Chloe forever.' There was this big war. It was great. Broe fans sent fun things, too. They all tried to one-up each other."
"One of the pivotal things for me as Chloe was the cancer storyline. It hit very close to home, because my father died of leukemia. It was a hard storyline for me, but it also was kind of healing, in a sense. It was nice to work with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. They made me their ambassador for one year. It felt good to get personally involved. I loved that the show wanted to do something like that. It was morally and socially responsible, and educated people on what they could do to help. That time is when a lot of my fan mail meant the most to me. I got a lot of mail from kids and teenagers saying, 'I'm going through chemo right now,' or 'I've just been diagnosed with cancer, and seeing you on TV every day fighting it makes it so much easier.' Stuff like that is what makes this job worthwhile. I never realized the impact television could have on people. That was special. The scenes I had were wonderful, too. To this day I can remember the scene where Chloe's hair fell out. It really affected me. I loved the bonding between Chloe and her parents. Patrika Darbo (Nancy) and Kevin Spirtas (Craig) were amazing to work with. So were Kyle Lowder (ex-Brady) and Jay Johnson (Philip)."
"Kyle and I went to Sun Valley, Idaho, on location. That was pretty memorable. It was beautiful there. We rode on a horse and carriage. It's always fun to be on location. That stands out in your mind, because it's not the ordinary. Kyle and I had to hike up some mountains, which was a pain. It was hard to breathe, actually, because of the altitude. And there was some snow. It was cold, but sunny at the same time. In the storyline, Brady and Chloe's plane had to make an emergency landing there. It turned out to be a very special couple of days for them. They ended up staying at some lodge. It's really where Chloe and Brady truly fell in love, sort of where they sealed the deal."

Iraqi Refugees - Germany says YES
04 August 2009
Private citizens have banded together under the 'save me' banner to support refugees from all over the world.
Damian is beaming. Just a few days after the four-year-old Iraqi boy arrived in Munich, he was given what so many football fans dream of: a shirt from Germany's most famous football club, FC Bayern Munich. A few minutes later, the little fellow was running around the huts at the refugees' emergency shelter in the district of Englschalking, wearing his Bayern shirt and shorts, with red fan's cap on his head.
Damian is one of a group of 28 Iraqi Christians who fled to Syria after being persecuted for their religion in Iraq. They are the first of 2,500 refugees that Germany has pledged to take in within the framework of a United Nations program for particularly vulnerable refugees: 375 of them will find a new home in Munich, thanks to the initiative 'save me – eine Stadt sagt Ja!' (a city says yes!).
The program was founded in the Bavarian state capital a little less than a year ago. In the summer of 2008, the Munich city council voted unanimously to back the call by the then-900 supporters and patrons – and pledged to take in refugees, thereby becoming the first city government to throw its weight behind the 'save me' program.
The city has called on the federal government to join the UN's regular Resettlement Program, so that the most vulnerable – women, children, the elderly and those that are traumatized, sick – can make a new home in Germany.
European countries that currently support the UNHCR program are Norway (1,000 refugees), Finland (550), the Netherlands (500), the United Kingdom (380) and Ireland (200). The U.S. resettles more than 41,000 people every year and countries like Brazil and Chile take in a few dozen refugees. The UNHCR in Iraq decides who is especially vulnerable.
The UN refugee agency considers Germany an ideal participant in the program. After all, West Germany successfully took in and integrated 30,000 Vietnamese boat people in the 1970s and 1980s; in the following decade, 3,000 Albanians and 360,000 Bosnian and Kosovar refugees found at least temporary asylum in Germany. The UNHCR has also pointed to the huge drop in the number of asylum seekers here – quietly suggesting there is now room for more.
The 'save me' campaign, however, says it out loud, hoping that if whole communities follow Munich's lead – and accept refugees – they want to increase political pressure from the bottom up. The organizers hope that with this groundswell, national politics will no longer be able to avoid a commitment to take in more refugees. The 'save me' initiative has now spread to more than 30 German towns and cities, including Augsburg, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Greifswald, Hanover and even Rostock – a city still battling the reputation for xenophobia it gained when an asylum-seekers' shelter was torched there in 1992. Some city governments in Aachen and Kiel have already agreed to do as Munich has, pledging to take in refugees and passing on their appeal to Berlin.
People covered by a resettlement program do not have to go through the long, drawn-out procedure of applying for asylum. They get an immediate residency and work permit which is valid for three years, with the option of having it extended.
Many of the supporters of 'Save me' – who now number more than 10,000 – have promised to act as patrons, offering personal assistance. They pledge to support the new arrivals in various ways to help them get used to their new home, including giving advice and accompanying refugees to register and on other visits to government offices.
In Munich, the first patrons have had a lot to do since the arrival of the first small group. They took the 28 Iraqis on a tour of the city, visited the zoo and regularly visited the shelter in Englschalking. They have collected clothing and household goods. They have helped the Iraqis search for jobs and apartments. They even tracked down bicycles for them, which they fixed up in a joint effort with the new arrivals – an opportunity for the Iraqis to learn their first words of German. The Iraqis were also given a short list of the most important expressions for everyday life – in German and Arabic.
Some patrons go even further, like Sarah Hergenröther, 30, who is now working on the project semi-professionally. She has a part-time position at the Munich refugee council, which the city finances to support the initiative. Hergenröther is a particularly significant person to the Iraqis as she speaks fluent Arabic and can interpret for them. Hergenröther, who has a degree in Islamic Studies, lived in the Middle East for a number of years.
The various supporters of the 'save me' project have a broad spectrum of motives. Some are political, others are linked to family history – but all are deeply humanitarian. On the projects' websites, hundreds of people have written about why they became involved – their statements sitting alongside their names and photos. 'I'm involved,' one reads, 'because my own parents were refugees.' Others say they participate 'because I hate apathy;' 'I'm ashamed of Germany's refugee policy;' and because 'incredible amounts of money are made available in the financial crisis but there is no attention given to social policy.'
Other comments strike a different note: 'I'm in the project because people should be welcome everywhere; because no-one flees their country voluntarily; because anyone can become a refugee;' or, quite simply, 'because it's the right thing to do.'
Germany is taking in 2,500 Iraqi refugees as part of a special UN program. Since 2007, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has been appealing to Germany to accept a set number of refugees annually as part of the regular UN Resettlement Program – without success. Now, a movement that started in Munich is placing pressure on politicians. Regional groups are working to host refugees under the motto 'save me – a city says yes.'

text: Hi All, Thanks a bunch for the help! I now have VNC working properly! I actually got it working on port 21 & 23 (-5879 and -5877) instead of port 80. Port 80 might work, but I haven't tried it. I'm thinking it won't b/c wouldn't it have to go through the proxy on port 80? I might try this tomorrow. Anyway, here's what I had to do (note, this was also sent to some friends so ignore the details you already know): 1. Copy and paste "-5879" into the display number for the server. Close, then restart the server and a weird, long number will display for some reason. It's actually running on port 21 though (FTP). 2. In the viewer enter the name / IP address plus ":-5879". I'm now able to connect from work to home despite the firewall / proxy. You can also use port 23 (telnet) with -5877 (or probably any common port that isn't blocked). This *might* work on port 80 too (with -5820), but I haven't tried it yet. I'm thinking it won't b/c wouldn't it have to go through the proxy on port 80? I might try this tomorrow. If you're using a router, make sure it's forwarding port 21, 23, or 80 to the proper machine. --Kyle Yamnitz The Lesson Plans Page: http://www.LessonPlansPage.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail majordomo "at" uk.research.att.com with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Streng was 15 when father Bill Streng bought Troy, Michigan-based Cadillac Looseleaf. It was then a presentation-binding company, and the younger Streng was not initially tempted to join the family business.
When Streng did decide to become an entrepreneur—at his father's urging—he didn't join the family business. Bill Streng pointed his son toward an opportunity in recycling and gave him 25 days to write a business plan.
After years running his own business, Kurt Streng joined Cadillac Looseleaf in a part-time sales position in 1991, moving up through the ranks. Streng, now 41, sold the recycling company in 1995.
Grooming the next generation for leadership at a family business can be make-or-break time, and businesses can founder when the older generation can't or won't make tough choices—and doesn't adequately prepare the younger generation to take charge.
Good planning, though, can pave the way for a smoother transition.
The best way to navigate the challenges is to make decisions early on and make specific training plans.
"A big thing is grooming the successor, and they have to make the decisions. Is it going to be a family successor, is it going to be a nonfamily successor?" says Phil Bahr, managing principal of Troy-based CPA firm The Rehmann Group. "And if it's family, sometimes the parent is afraid to make the decision of who will be the leader. They leave it to see what happens, and invariably, if there's not a clear direction, it fails."
Controlling emotion
Emotions and family feelings can play strong roles in family business decisions, but for continued success, decisions must benefit the business, not just individual family members, Bahr says.
Setting a succession protocol early on can protect family relationships.
Alan S. Schwartz, vice chairman of the board of directors and partner at Detroit-based Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn, says that creating a family charter can be a wise idea.
"If a family charter has been done in advance in the first generation, then when an event occurs, they've got an agreement," he says. "Sometimes the agreement will bend; sometimes one sibling is stronger than another. But it helps to have something to point to."
It's important to decide early on how to prepare the second or third generations for leadership roles within the family business, and which person should be directed to what role.
At Cadillac Looseleaf, Bill Streng made youngest son Kurt president, though older brother Kerry had been tapped for the role years earlier.
"There was a big issue between my brother and I," Kurt Streng says. "He was the chosen one … there was a lot of head butting. If I made a decision and didn't consult him, he took offense to it. We had a hard time even as brothers. One of us had to go, but it actually helped our relationship as brothers. It was a tough time, and we literally wanted nothing to do with each other, but now our relationship couldn't be better."
Cadillac Looseleaf, meanwhile, reports annual revenue of $5 million.
Communication, Schwartz says, is key.
"The business side has to be run like a business, but the family dynamic is much more about human relationships," he says. "This is why I use words like 'honesty' and 'communication' and 'sensitivity.' Those are not business terms, but they are family terms."
A time outside
Next-generation family-business leaders must also gain credibility with their long-term workers, Bahr says. "It can't just be handed to them."
Gaining outside experience, consultants agree, can prove a boon.
Adam Lutz, president and CEO of Farmington Hills, Michigan-based Lutz Real Estate Investments, worked as an investment banker for five years in New York City before returning home to work with father Eric Lutz, now the firm's chairman.
"I got tremendous exposure on a scale that couldn't be replicated here in Detroit, I got exposure to major players in commercial real estate, and the real estate finance industry evolved quote a bit during that time," Adam Lutz says. "I would look at billions of dollars of transactions a year, but after five years of working 80-, 90-hour weeks, I started to long for not just being a cog in the wheel but being able to control my own destiny."
Eric Lutz says Adam's experience outside the family business helped prepare him for a leadership role.
"When he came back, he was an accomplished businessman. It wasn't as though he had to prove something, but he had proved himself," Eric Lutz says. "He came back with knowledge and skills the business did not have, and he could make a contribution to the business."
The situation is more complicated for a family with a sprawling tree, Schwartz says, when succession isn't always linear. It can be a good idea to pair second-generation family members with uncles, aunts or nonfamily managers for training.
Stephen Polk, president and CEO of Southfield, Michigan-based R.L. Polk & Co., was studying wildlife biology when he took an entry-level position with the company his great-grandfather had started.
Doing fieldwork for the company's now-defunct city directories, Polk returned to company headquarters in Detroit after his father died in 1984.
Polk never expected to lead the company, but his brother passed away the next year, and he became responsible for family decisions. Polk didn't immediately assume leadership of the company.
"There was a fairly lengthy interim of senior managers," he says. "But at that point I became responsible for family decisions. I was fortunate to have some experience with the business. That gave me some confidence."
Today, Polk reports annual revenue of $353 million.

Meeting with our decorator at the new house 9 am this morning. Much to discuss / decide upon. To wit:
For instance, we love this carpet. But it's about $14 a square ft. more than our second choice. Is it worth it, or do we spend the extra $3500 on something else?
Then there's this: a 10′ fan that does the work of 28 standard 52″ fans. Which is absolutely fantastic, but comes at a heavy price tag. Do we choose this as an entryway centerpiece, or do we go with a fancy light fixture, instead?
What paint color to we choose to go with our choice of flooring (which, when light hits it, takes on a grayer hue) — and do we go with something with better pigmentation like Benjamin Moore, or do we go with a good prosumer brand like Behr premium ultra?
Do we go with nice carpet and padding or high end laminate in the basement pub? The advances in laminate flooring are stunning, frankly: the laminate we picked out looks very close to the high-character wood floors we'll have running through the main floor and to the eye is difficult to differentiate. It even uses hand scraping and texturing. With a new house, you want to be careful installing either tile or wood floor, given the likelihood of some settling. So it's a tough call.
More: We have a very modern kitchen: white shaker cabinetry with big brushed nickel bar pulls offset by an island the uses kona-colored shaker cabinetry. We have quartz countertops — slate colored on the white cabinetry, limestone finished on the dark cabinetry — and a white subway tile back splash with a darker grout. We have a large white apron (farmhouse) sink. So the question is, how can we introduce other influences into the design? For instance, pendant lighting: do we continue along the art deco modernist theme, or do we add visual interest by going with something more industrial (like, for instance, edison bulbs, which is my preference).
All of these are questions a relative stranger is going to help us decide today.
Fancy yourself a decent judge of design? Add your suggestions here. Keep in mind that our fixtures are mostly brushed nickel, and that the overall theme is early 20th-century modern, with lots of clean lines and low slung furniture.
Wish us luck!

Messiah (Handel)
Messiah is an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel, with a scriptural text compiled by Charles Jennens from the King James Bible, and from the version of the Psalms included with the Book of Common Prayer. It was first performed in Dublin on 13 April 1742 and received its London premiere nearly a year later. After an initially modest public reception, the oratorio gained in popularity, eventually becoming one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music.
Handel's reputation in England, where he had lived since 1712, had been established through his compositions of Italian opera. He turned to English oratorio in the 1730s, in response to changes in public taste; Messiah was his sixth work in this genre. Although its structure resembles that of opera, it is not in dramatic form; there are no impersonations of characters and very little direct speech. Instead, Jennens's text is an extended reflection on Jesus Christ as Messiah. The text begins in Part I with prophecies by Isaiah and others, and moves to the annunciation to the shepherds, the only "scene" taken from the Gospels. In Part II, Handel concentrates on the Passion and ends with the "Hallelujah" chorus. In Part III he covers the resurrection of the dead and Christ's glorification in Heaven.
Handel wrote Messiah for modest vocal and instrumental forces, with optional settings for many of the individual numbers. In the years after his death, the work was adapted for performance on a much larger scale, with giant orchestras and choirs. In other efforts to update it, its orchestration was revised and amplified by (among others) Mozart. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries the trend has been towards reproducing a greater fidelity to Handel's original intentions, although "big Messiah" productions continue to be mounted. A near-complete version was issued on 78 rpm discs in 1928; since then the work has been recorded many times.

As the villa is all on one level (great for elderly or infirm), access to each of the 3 bedrooms can be gained from adjacent hallway. The third bedroom is a twin with 2 large single sized beds and fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom hosts and king-sized bed and fitted wardrobes.
The Master Bedroom with patio doors, has a prime position overlooking the private pool and benefits not only from the fitted wardrobes but a lovely en-suite shower room with an enclosed shower as its centrepiece.

Sea Caves Area
This prime positioned holiday Villa is within an affluent area known as Sea Caves and Akamas Peninsular, a protected area of outstanding natural beauty, yet still close to Coral Bay (3km) and Peyia Village (4km) with their traditional bars and restaurants. In fact, one of Paphos best restaurants Goosefat and Garlic is less than 1km away with a further choice of popular restaurants such as Anesi, Spillies and Yialos all within easy reach.
The Sea Caves area , like much of Paphos, was once rural and barren land but over recent years the Sea Caves area has changed dramatically. Now the Sea Caves area is one of the finest residential areas in Cyprus, offering some of the most exclusive villas in the island. This is not surprising when you consider its breathtaking rugged Cypriot coastline and small sandy coves with crystal clear Mediterranean waters. Sunsets in the region are simply magical.
Proceeding along from the Sea Caves you come to the pretty, tiny picturesque fishing harbour of St George with a small sand/shingle beach. St George, like Sea Caves, is a perfect spot for snorkelling and scuba diving or topping up your sun tan. We strongly recommend tasting the local speciality "fish meze" in one of the selection of small family run tavernas at St George and the dramatic sunsets are worth the visit alone from any area of this amazing coastline.
Situated 12kms from Paphos on the west coast of Cyprus and just 3km from Sea Caves, Coral Bay is a delightful resort renowned for its superb (blue flag) sandy beaches. The main thoroughfare of Coral Bay is lined with a small but ample selection of shops, restaurants, banks and bars giving you everything you need for a relaxing holiday without losing any of its local charm.
Life in Coral Bay tends to be based around the sandy bay with calm shallow waters, also offering a wide selection of water sports, it is perfect for a day out for all the family. Other things to do in the area include Paphos Bird Park, Reptile Park, Horse Riding, Akamas Peninsular & Lara Beach Nature Reserve (famous for turtles), Hiking/Walking, Buggy Safaris, 4 x 4 Safaris, Sailing and many more. Amusement and water parks in Paphos are also easily accessible from the area, as are numerous archaeological ruins such as the Tombs of the Kings the mosaics and the Christian Catacombs.
If you want to get out and explore some fantastic scenery, take a trip to Polis, Latchi or even Troodos mountains. Troodos is of course the main mountain range in Cyprus, not many people know that in the winter....you can ski!
Paphos combines ancient history with a cosmopolitan, modern tourist resort. The area by the coast is known as Kato Paphos and boasts a pretty little harbour and plenty of open air cafes and bars. Further inland is the old town of Paphos, known by the locals as Ktima. With its narrow streets, hustle and bustle, covered market and typically Cypriot atmosphere, it is well worth a visit. As a consequence, Paphos is on UNESCOs World Cultural Heritage list.
Cyprus is famous as the birth place of the goddess Aphrodite, Venus in Roman mythology. She is known as the Ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty. Legend says that she emerged from the sea at Aphrodite's Rock in a surge of sea foam.

Can Apple maintain its shine?
This means the total dollar value of the iPhones sold in the quarter may be more indicative than the number of phones sold. Analysts expect the sales were worth $30.8 billion in the quarter, or 56 percent of Apple's overall revenue. Deviations from this figure could cause big movements in the stock price.
There is renewed speculation that Apple could make a cheaper iPhone for the developing world, but most analysts believe the company will stick to its practice of keeping older iPhones in production and cutting their prices as new models come out. The problem is that the price cuts are relatively minor. A two-year-old iPhone 4 costs more than many new Android phones.
When reporting results for the July to September quarter three months ago, Apple shocked Wall Street by saying it expected earnings of just $11.75 per share for the October to December quarter. The company usually lowballs its estimates, but this was unusually far from the $15.59 per share average analyst estimate at the time. The reason, Apple said, was that it had so many new products coming out - including the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini - and fresh production lines are more expensive to run than mature ones.
Analysts then pulled back sharply on their estimates. Their average forecast is now $13.45 per share, according to FactSet.
In terms of sales, Apple said it expects to report about $52 billion in revenue, and analysts have wavered only slightly above that figure - they now expect sales of $54.9 billion.
While Apple's future prospects are in doubt, the company's supporters have one strong argument in their favor: the stock is cheap compared to current earnings, and even if the iPhone's sales growth slows, Apple will continue to generate plenty of revenue. The stock trades at 11 times the past 12 months of earnings, compared with 15 for Microsoft Corp. and 22 for Google Inc. Those figures don't take into account Apple's enormous cash pile -$121 billion- which boosts its value even further.
Despite its size, Apple's stock is no stranger to corrections. In 2008, in the midst of recession, Apple's stock fell by more than half, to under $100 per share. At the time, the iPhone was a year old and hadn't revealed its full potential.
It was only in early 2012 that its market capitalization decisively outgrew that of Exxon Mobil Corp., previously the world's most valuable company.
A smaller correction last year, also prompted by speculation about the future of the iPhone, took the stock down 16 percent before it rebounded.
"We believe investors that can look through this noise will be rewarded in 2013," said Brian White at Topeka Capital Markets. "The negative sentiment around the stock has reached epic levels that we haven't seen in recent memory and yet we believe the product portfolio has never been stronger."
