Zhone Technologies Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZHNE), a global leader in FTTx network access solutions, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was $27.1 million compared to $29.6 million for the first quarter of 2011 and $33.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. Net loss for the first quarter of 2012, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), was $3.4 million or $0.11 per share compared with a net loss of $2.4 million or $0.08 per share for the first quarter of 2011 and a net loss of $4.6 million or $0.15 per share for the fourth quarter of 2011. Adjusted earnings before stock-based compensation, interest, taxes, depreciation, and impairment of long-lived assets ("adjusted EBITDA") was an adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2011 and an adjusted EBITDA profit of $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.
"Although this quarter's revenue was seasonally weak, there are several reasons for enthusiasm as we focus our efforts on 2012," stated Mory Ejabat, Zhone's chief executive officer. "We experienced a strong increase in orders during March and as a result, we exited the first quarter with better than expected backlog driving optimism for 2012 and a much stronger second quarter."
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at March 31, 2012 was $15.0 million compared to $18.2 million at December 31, 2011.
Zhone will conduct a conference call and audio webcast today, April 19, 2012, at approximately 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET to review its first quarter 2012 results. This call is open to the public by dialing +1 (866) 713-8564 for U.S. callers and +1 (617) 597-5312 for international callers and then entering passcode 36366758. The audio webcast will be simultaneously available on the Investor Relations section of Zhone's website at http://www.zhone.com/investors/. A replay of the conference call will be available after the original call by dialing +1 (888) 286-8010 for U.S. callers and +1 (617) 801-6888 for international callers and then entering passcode 99674359. An audio webcast replay will also be available online at http://www.zhone.com/investors/ for approximately one week following the original call. Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement Zhone's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Zhone uses adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure Zhone believes is appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of Zhone's past financial performance and prospects for the future. These adjustments to GAAP results are made with the intent of providing greater transparency to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. These non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's operational performance, including the Company's ability to provide cash flows to invest in research and development, and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between net loss calculated on a GAAP basis and adjusted EBITDA on a non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Helsinki in Finland, in order to learn from them. Reflection Day – Journalling – Facilitator Helen Woolcock Have you wondered about coming to the Journalling Day but weren't quite sure what it would involve? Is it like keeping a diary? No, not really. It is more about taking a few steps back so we can take in the broader perspective. It is a way of tracking our inner journey with God as that is reflected in our daily lives — our relationships, our experiences, our emotions to name a few. It is our own Pilgrim's Progress! Helen says: "I get very excited about the benefits of Journalling, as I have experienced it. I can honestly say that whenever I take the time to write and reflect in this way I always gain some new understanding about the issues I'm dealing with and what God might want to show me. The emptying onto paper really does clear the brain and God's Spirit brings new insights. We will hopefully experience that in our day together. Do give it a go if you haven't before. There is no sense in which what you write will be evaluated. What you choose to work on is between you and God. It will all seem very natural because it is your own life and energies that you are attending to." We have chosen a weekday — Friday 24 July 2009 — hoping to avoid the busy-ness of weekends. Perhaps you can call on an RDO if you are still in the workforce. The day will commence with a cuppa at 9.00 for 9.30am and conclude with afternoon tea at 3.00pm. Bring a lunch and a notebook. Morning and afternoon tea provided. Cost is $25 with concession $20 for full-time students and those on limited income. Please use the enclosed registration form to register no later than 16 July. 2 Help! – Financial Downturn Hits Stillpoint Along with many others, Stillpoint has delayed our reminder inviting people to been struggling quite a bit more than renew their annual donations and, usual this year. Our financial position is together with the current worldwide quite precarious, yet we feel this ministry economic downturn, has had a flow-on is needed more than ever, with effect on our scanty finances. Australia's anxiety levels so much higher at this time. As you know, the Stillpoint Centre is staffed entirely by volunteers and relies It has been quite amazing how each year we receive just on the generosity of its volunteers, visitors, friends and enough to keep going and we are extremely thankful for supporters to finance the minimal infrastructure that that. However, this current year's donations have been supports our vital ministry. We want to thank you for your significantly down, especially the annual donation of $80 past support and hope you will prayerfully and urgently from Friends of Stillpoint (which includes a tax-deductible consider how you can financially support Stillpoint during donation to the Library of $40, and $10 towards newsletter the coming year. costs). In order to reduce costs we have cut the number of issues of the newsletter from four to three, which has The enclosed Supporters' Information Brochure contains full details of how donations can be made.

"Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around "For those of you who have children and don't know it, the house. Bring your husbands." we have a nursery downstairs." "At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be 'What Is Hell?' Come early and listen to our Choir practice." Retreat In Everyday Life Now we've attracted you to this item with a very cute photo, we want to attract you to a very special retreat, which will follow a similar approach to the wonderfully enriching first Retreat in Everyday Life last year. Yes, it does last for a week, but you won't spend your whole time praying beside your bed (with our without your pet)! Rather, you will "retreat" with God while continuing your normal life activities with family, home, work, and personal interests. And you will not be taking this journey alone. To start this very special experience you will meet with Dawn Courtman and other participants at Stillpoint on Sunday 21 June at 2.00pm for an introductory session and to receive some guidelines and handouts. These materials will help you determine for yourself the "how, what, when and where" of what it means to spend time in retreat in the midst of your normal life. Whilst this will vary from individual to individual, you will be asked to prayerfully covenant the amount of time you decide to set aside for your retreat. This could be anything from 30 minutes to an hour each day and may be spread over more than one period of time – e.g. during an early morning walk; whilst having a quiet cuppa or lunch break or by taking a few final minutes before turning out the lights in the evening. You will also be asked to commit to meet with a Stillpoint Spiritual Companion (sometimes called a Spiritual Director) three times during the retreat week. These meetings will generally take place at Stillpoint and last about 30 minutes each time but may be longer if that is what you need. Again days and times will be organised to suit you and if it is more practical to meet elsewhere, that is also a possibility. The retreat will conclude with a gathering of participants, Spiritual Companions and Dawn Courtman at Stillpoint on Sunday 28 June at 2.00pm for fellowship and perhaps to share experiences. Should you wish to discuss any aspect of the retreat before registering, please phone Stillpoint on 3217 8992 and retreat facilitator, Dawn Courtman, will contact you. The all-inclusive cost of $100 includes opening and closing refreshments, use of the Stillpoint Centre, materials, and meetings with a Spiritual Companion. Concession rate is $85 for full-time students and people on a limited income. Please use enclosed registration form to register no later than Thursday 11 June. 3 "The Enneagram: Taking it further" — Patrick Oliver The Enneagram has been one of the most popular offerings at Stillpoint over the years. This year, Stillpoint is offering three evenings when those familiar with the Enneagram can come to hone their understandings of how this tool can help in self-understanding, prayer and relationships. It will be helpful for those attending to have some introductory knowledge of the Enneagram. Although there will be a little teaching of theory, most of the time will be spent looking at real-life situations that participants offer for reflection from an Enneagram standpoint. Come prepared with an example or two. Patrick and participants can then apply their Enneagram insights! Here are some questions that might be helpful to get you started, but don't stop here—you may have other offerings to share: • When are situations that you find your Enneagram space particularly comes to the fore — for good or for ill? • How have you found an understanding of your Enneagram space has helped you to be a little more tolerant of self/others? • Through the Enneagram, have you been able to better understand others with whom you live or work? • Has it helped you to respond a little more to life, rather than simply react/react/react? • Have you found the Enneagram to be helpful in understanding a little more of God's presence in you? • Has it helped you to be a little more contemplative towards life? This interactive workshop will run for three Wednesday evenings 22, 29 July, and 5 August, from 7.15 – 9.00pm. Cost: $70 (Concession $60). Please use the enclosed registration form to register no later than 15 July. A Special Book A new book donated to the Stillpoint Library is Mr Hopeful, Memoirs of John Wheeler, Brisbane 2008. It is his personal story, beginning in England and covering involvement in wartime, in public service and the Congregational Church, and travel experiences recorded for MR his family. Central to his story is his wife of over 50 years Ann, who died in 2006 after years of John's caring for her. In 2007, John attended the first Seasons: Loss and Grief course held HOPEFUL at Stillpoint and he records these words on the last page of his memoirs: MEMOIRS OF "One final stage remaining to be recorded is the series of grief workshops I attended at Stillpoint, the Christian meditation centre at Toowong. Centacare, the Catholic Family Welfare Agency in JOHN WHEELER Melbourne prepared the program and our companion and leader on the journey was Adele Dingle, who herself has both tragic personal experience and specialist skills. As so often, I was the only male participating, and when I mentioned this to Ian, a psychiatrist member of Pilgrim Church, he commented that when males need emotional help, they frequently do not seek it – and die in consequence. People taking part in the workshops were experiencing many causes of grief but the traumas were much the same. Each session embraced a stage in the grieving process, and I think those of us who attended the entire series benefited most. Procedure included keeping a log, and recording events and feelings along the way. We were not required to share more than we wished, and obviously needed to treat what other people said in strict confidence. Week after week we each progressed along our personal grieving journey and, at the last meeting, wrote down emotions we wished to release, tied them to helium balloons and together allowed them to ascend in the general direction of an airliner doing a wide circuit above us. About a month later, we met for afternoon tea. The participants in the workshops were all good people, we established temporary bonding, and although I can remember none of them, I affectionately hope their release from trauma is as complete as mine." A photo in the book shows John releasing his balloon – releasing his trauma. Seasons: Managing Grief and Loss: If you, or anyone you know, is struggling with grief brought about by significant life changes including separation, death, unemployment and trauma, make a note in your diary to book in for the next series of Seasons facilitated by Adele Dingle. Seasons consists of six sessions and will be held next on Monday evenings 19 October to 9 November 2009. Cost $120 (Concession $95). Registrations by 12 October. For further information please contact Stillpoint on 3217 8992 and Adele will make contact with you. 4 A Monastic Day – for Ordinary, Everyday Men and Women? During this very different Reflection Day, participants will be introduced to the spirituality of the Order of St Benedict, and invited to experience as much as possible the Benedictine Experience by following the normal pattern of a monastic day. This holds for a balance of community and individual time, work and prayer, words and silence, activity and rest. While the Benedictine Experience draws on the monastic day, it also aims to uncover how the Rule of St Benedict can be a meaningful way to shape life for ordinary, everyday men and women. Our Facilitator will be Andrew Cooper DipTeach, BTheol, GradDipRE, MSocSci (Pastoral Counselling). Andrew is an Oblate of the Benedictine Abbey of St Mark in Camperdown, Victoria and currently teaches Study of Religion and Religious Education at St Aidan's School, Corinda. He is also in formation for ordination to the priesthood with the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane. He has a deep interest in the spiritual journey, particularly in the contemplative tradition and its possibilities in the everyday. Oblates of St Benedict are people who have associated themselves with a Benedictine Community in order to enrich their Christian way of life. Oblates shape their lives by living the wisdom of Christ as interpreted by St Benedict. Oblates seek God by serving him in their chosen way of life. By integrating their prayer and work, they endeavour to show Christ's presence clearly in society. Saturday 12 September 2009 at Stillpoint. Optional early start 6.30am for meditation, quiet time and continental breakfast. Arriving and gathering for main program will be 8.30am for 9.00 start with the day closing at 5.00. Breakfast, morning and afternoon tea provided, but please BYO lunch. Cost $30 (Concession $25). To register please use the enclosed registration form and register no later than 3 September. Please indicate whether you will be attending from 6.30 or 8.30am. Mother Teresa – Angel of Mercy In his book 'Wash the Feet of the World – With Mother Teresa' Dr Charles Ringma wrote: "Mother Teresa once said she wanted to 'do something beautiful for God.' Looking back at her decades of service and recognition—including the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize—Mother Teresa's life indeed proved to be a work of art in its purest form." In this series of four evenings, Dr Ringma will reflect on the spirituality of Mother Teresa, allowing us to look for ways of doing something beautiful with our own lives. Wednesdays 19, 26 August, 2, 9 September 2009: 7.30 – 9.30pm. Cost: $80 (Concession $65). Please use the enclosed registration form to register no later than 12 August. Weaving Our Journeys Discussion Group: A friendly and relaxed setting for reflection and faith sharing which arise out of the articles in the bi-monthly journal Weavings. Themes in the pipeline include 'Where is your God?' – 'Turning the World Upside Down' and 'Show Me Your Ways, O Lord', Fridays 19 June, 28 August, 23 October, 4 December. 9.30 – 11.00am. $5 donation. 5 A Personal Perspective – Liz Antcliff Sacred Connections: Creative Expression and Art Making Downstairs at 16 Grove Street, below Stillpoint's main lounge I have a love and respect for ritual and symbolism and have and library, are shelves containing paints, inks, brushes, found that the traditions of the Christian faith, such as prayer pastels, pens, tiles, clay, dried leaves, boxes of found objects and the sacraments, offer expression to the meanings and such as buttons, ribbons, cork discs, broken glass tiles, small values of lived experience. That is, each of these elements stones, beads, leather, raffia, an array of textured and printed addresses the interaction between the human and the divine. papers, old magazines and various miscellaneous hardware "Art as prayer involves the drawing or painting or sculpturing items. These, like the former garage of 16 Grove Street, of the everyday, ordinary images of life as they present which has been converted to the Heartspace Artspace♥, are themselves" (Moon, 2001). Art-making is an alternate prayer recyclable treasures. It is not so much what is done with language. these treasures, as it is what they do with me. They inspire and excite me, they pain me, and help me to see new Augustine of Hippo defined a Christian sacrament as an possibilities.

Sacraments When engaging with creative expression and art-making with take place in the context of community and engage the whole these treasures, I feel that I'm engaging in a religious activity. person through actions that involve the sensing body as well Allow me to explain. Lynda Sexson writes in 'Ordinarily as the mind and the spirit. Sacrament is therefore a religious Sacred' —scandalously perhaps, symbolism (often as rites or that the word religion is a confusing manifested in rituals), which and perhaps even a distorted term conveys divine grace, blessings or when held from the narrow sacredness. Within the context of perspective of the institution of the Artspace, making of art and the church. "Religion then is the expressions of our inner journey consecration of experience, or are conducted in the company of person, so that the person or others, sometimes one other, often experience is made whole (holy). in small groups.

We've lost quite a few good books from the library over the last year or two. When taken out, the loan was not recorded in the computer so there is no record to follow up. We want people to borrow books but we also need to have them returned. It takes money from our limited budget to replace them. So, PLEASE could you check to see whether there is a Stillpoint stamp in any of your books that you may have borrowed and forgotten to return? Three examples of much sought-after books that have not been returned are: 'Holy Listening' by Margaret Guenther; 'The Return of the Prodigal Son' by Henri Nouwen and 'Necessary Losses' by Judith Viorst.

I live in Central Vermont with my husband and 2 kids. I am heading down to Brownsville with a group of friends for the Vermont 50 mountain bike race.
Barbara has completed online and offline ID verification.
Barbara was a wonderful guest. It was a pleasure to have her.
Barbara was clear and upbeat in all our communication, and left the house clean and in great shape. I'd recommend her to any Airbnb host. They came up for a local race, and communicated how much they enjoyed the house. Thank you, Barbara, for a smooth experience.
Barbara and her family were great. We chatted on the phone for a few minutes before we confirmed her stay at my place and she sounded super nice and very responsible. She and her husband and her two boys stayed at my place and they left the place practically as clean as I left it for them (I would never have expected them to re-scrub the shower or re-vacuum or anything like that which is the only reason I use the phrase "practically as clean.") We texted during the weekend so I could make sure everything was ok and she didn't need anything and she would text me back with what fun things they were doing in NYC or to ask me a question. It was honestly just like interacting with a real friend. They were very respectful of me and my place and my things and were overall just great. You can feel 100% safe and at peace entrusting your home or apartment to Barb and her family.

Dear Russ and all,
I just got my order last week, I think, --and I am so pleased! The quality is incredible and the workmanship is by far superior to any body jewelry I have seen!
It's smoother, shinier, and very securely (more deeply)...
I received the gold jewelry that I ordered, the barbell with the flower top and with a red-gem-set disco ball. These are spectacular pieces of jewelry! I've worn the flower topped barbell in my tongue and it gets compliments all the time, it's...

3 Top 'Cloud' Stocks to Own in 2012
Editor's note: As part of our partnership with Nightly Business Report, TheStreet's James Rogers will appear on NBR Monday (check local listings) to look at the top cloud-computing stocks for 2012.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With cloud computing becoming a mainstream enterprise technology, investors should pay attention to EMC (EMC - Get Report), Salesforce.com (CRM - Get Report) and Rackspace (RAX - Get Report) in 2012.
No longer perceived as a niche corner of the tech sector, a growing number of businesses are harnessing the power of cloud services. Rackspace, for example, counts Kraft Foods (KFT), Under Armor (UA), and Vodafone (VOD), among its customers, while Salesforce.com provides services for HP (HPQ - Get Report) and Time Warner Cable (TWC).
There are different types of cloud technology available for enterprises, from "public" clouds, where customers access services like storage and server power from third-party companies, to "private" clouds, which are run at customers' own sites. Private clouds could be used, for example, to provide company-wide marketing or HR services across multiple locations.
Tech research firm IDC estimates that revenue from public IT cloud services alone exceeded $21.5 billion in 2010 and will reach $72.9 billion in 2015, growing four times faster than the IT market as a whole.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Payment Process
Take online surveys in exchange for cash. Get paid to your PayPal account when you have accumulated a $15.00 balance. Payments are made within 72 hours of request.
Getting Notified for Surveys
Receive e-mail notifications when full surveys (biz surveys) become available. These will also be displayed in your account when they become available. Upon logging in, you will see a message in the top right corner that says, "1 survey available".
Survey Lengths
Survey lengths vary, but are typically between 5-10 minutes.
Daily Surveys
You can wait to be e-mailed about regular online surveys when they become available, but you can also take "Trait Surveys" and earn between $0.03 and $0.10, each and every day. These Trait Surveys not only serve to increase your earnings slowly, but also helps increase your Traitscore.
The higher your Traitscore, the more you can earn per survey. A high Traitscore allows you to receive the maximum number of surveys per month. Achieve a Traitscore of 9000, and become part of the top 10% of members. This means you'll earn even more per answer.
Referral Program
PaidViewpoint offers a generous referral program where you will earn 20% of what your referrals earn for taking "biz surveys". In other words, earn 20% from your referrals when they take surveys other than "Traits Surveys". You can have an unlimited amount of referrals and can earn up to $25 per referral. If you can refer friends from the USA, you will likely find you can earn more.
New Member Bonus
Join and immediately get a signup bonus deposited to your account. Amounts vary per country, but for USA and Canada, it is $1.00.
Note: McAfee antivirus has mistaken PaidViewpoint as a "phishing" website. You can ignore this warning.
I fail to see how this site is ranked so high? Since signing up, I've yet to take an actual survey, just the ones that are profile type (which they call 'trait') questions that apparently are supposed to build some kind of goofy 'trust' level and raise you to a level where you get more points. These are worth next to nothing, 10 cents.
Of the 2-3 real surveys I've actually be sent, not been able to take a single one as they put a three hour limit on them which is freaking lame as most people work or have other daily matters where they are not going to be able to check their e-mail constantly to see if this site has an actual survey. (And they give you an insulting screen with a couple of pigeons an a message about 'early birds' getting the survey!) I've even read on here that they don't send out e-mail alerts for every survey, so again, I guess I'm just supposed to check into the site constantly, totally lame. So basically I've thus far earned about what I could earn taking a SINGLE survey on any other site. Yeah, the site does work well, and you do always qualify for and get paid for the trait surveys at least, but it's going to take months to even reach the $15 minimum cash out level. This whole thing seems based around profile than actual surveys and I'm really wondering why waste my time when I could be making more on other sites that have you set up a profile from the start then give surveys you can actually take.
Since writing the above, I've dropped the site, they don't even send out e-mails anymore for anything, so what the hell is the point? Totally lame, waste of time site that should be reported to the BBC
This is one of the BEST survey sites...money is easy to make & quick to get!
Honest Company, pays quickly and easily.
If the surveys paid more, it would definitely get a 5!
Paid Viewpoint is different from other survey sites. Once your trait-score reaches >900, the surveys you take earn more money. Take online surveys (average survey, 3-4 minutes), in exchange for cash. Get paid to your PayPal account when you have accumulated a $15.00 balance. Payments are made within 72 hours of request! Highly recommended.
I just cashed out at PaidViewpoint for over $16.00. Was very easy to make minimum needed to cash out. Would recommend this survey company.
I cashed out a 2nd time on 2/19/15 for $15.00. Takes a few months to reach minimum but only takes 1 to 2 minutes a day.

It's June, and that means one thing when it comes to wine in San Francisco: Pinot Noir. For the past 10 years, June has played host to PinotDays, a celebration of the grape that brings wineries and wine lovers together for a couple of days of tasting and education.
There was a time when San Francisco had no large-scale tasting of Pinot Noir, but those days seem a distant memory, now in a post-Sideways world. Every year members of the wine-drinking public can spend an afternoon wandering in a sea of Pinot Noir, as 80 different producers (primarily California, but also Oregon and France) offer their wines for the tasting.
On Friday the 20th of June, various wineries will be present for a "Table Hop" dinner at The City Club, where winemakers will move from table to table with each course of the meal to meet guests and talk about their wines.
Then on Saturday, a couple of hours before the grand tasting, a sit-down seminar will be offered for those holding VIP, early entrance tickets. Various other events will be held that weekend, so check out the full listing on the event web site.
All of the events are available as part of packaged deals, or a la carte, for your pleasure. At the very least, if you love Pinot Noir, it's hard to think of a better way to spend a few hours than wandering around tasting great juice with a gorgeous view of San Francisco.
10th Annual PinotDays San Francisco 2014 Grand Tasting
Sunday, June 21, 2014 - 2:00pm-5:00pm
City View at Metreon
135 4th St
San Francisco, CA 94103 (map)
Tickets are $75 for the grand tasting, and an additional $50 for the seminar and VIP (read: early) access to the tasting, or you can buy a package ticket for somewhere between $105 and $170 depending on what selection of events you'd like to attend. Tickets should be purchased in advance online.
Use the discount code: VINOSF14 to save 33% on your tickets! Who loves you baby?
My usual tips for such public tastings apply: get a good night's sleep; go with a full stomach; drink lots of water; wear dark clothes; and remember to spit if you want to learn anything.

WRONG!!!! So WRONG!! First
Submitted by Brian Middleton on Tue, 11/26/2013 - 20:33. Permalink
WRONG!!!! So WRONG!! First you probably have no clue or couldn't define what "rights" are... Second, who are you to decide what "rights" other living things have? Are you the ultimate arbiter of who gets "rights"?
Clearly you don't have pets or ever loved an animal, and if you have, then let's see how you feel if someone decided to bash it's head in..
If you disagree with me on anything you are not a real libertarian...

Liverpool agony as Jamie Carragher is ruled out for a month
Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson cursed his luck as a 2-1 stoppage-time defeat at Tottenham was compounded by a serious injury to Jamie Carragher. The defender is out for at least a month after dislocating a shoulder in the final minutes at White Hart Lane and joins Steven Gerrard, Daniel Agger and Joe Cole on the Anfield casualty list. Aaron Lennon then popped up with a late winner after Martin Skrtel had scored a goal at each end and Hodgson's woe was complete when his team were drawn away at Manchester United in the FA Cup third round. Read more: The full FA Cup third round draw Painful exit: Jamie Carragher is helped off by doctor Zaf Iqba The Liverpool boss said: 'It was cruel to come away with nothing having lost our talismanic centre half and then paid the price for not dealing with a routine long ball. It's hard to come to terms with the fact we go away with no points. The result's not going to change, though, with me being disappointed.' Carragher will be out for four to six weeks if the injury requires no surgery but it could be three months if he needs an operation to pin the shoulder. 'It's a serious injury,' admitted Hodgson. 'We will miss his leadership skills. Seeing red: Hodgson reacts angrily after seeing his side squander a 1-0 lead away from home 'We've got Agger still injured and we're not overly blessed with centre halves. The injury to Steven Gerrard came at the wrong time. Steven is making big strides but Agger is a long-term matter. Now Jamie. 'Other teams will have more problems but unfortunately ours are coming in the same position.' Out-of-sorts Fernando Torres missed two clear opportunities but Hodgson refused to blame him. Late finish: Aaron Lennon puts the winner past Pepe Reina in the dying moments at White Hart Lane 'I was pleased with Fernando Torres,' said the Liverpool boss. 'He's getting better. He'll be disappointed he didn't take one of the chances his good play created.'

Stoller was a pediatrician that saw only two cases of autism in his first decade and a half of practice, and came to the realization with the problems with the CDC and vaccines around the same time as I did in 2004 when he was testifying before the Senate on another medical matter. He highlights the ridiculous position of the CDC:

I bought one unit first to try it out, and then I bought another one to use as a slave for recording 16 tracks at once. It works like a charm! You can record 8 tracks at once, 16 all in all. With two units, you get twice that. Easy set up and the controls are simple, like old Tascam units. This setup has completely replaced laptops etc. from my recording setup. Two inputs provide phantom power, nice to have when recording drums. Can be easily used for recording the entire band in a single session. If you know how to operate a cd-player, you'll have no problems using this. Keep in mind, the chassis is plastic (good quality though!), so do not mistreat your unit and it will last a long time. Zoom is a Japanese company, so you will get more features than you asked for. I haven't used any of the presets, but there are effects, presets and too many things to list here, software-wise. Build quality is excellent!
A simple to use eight track recorder that produces faithful recordings in WAV onto SDHC card. My own use of the R16 is limited to recording only; I transfer the WAV files to PC and edit on freeware, so I can make no comment on ease or functionality of editing on R16. The built-in effects are a mixed bag of mediocrity, but as a clean and straightforward multitrack audio recorder the R16 is very acceptable.
I bought this studio to replace my old 16 track machine which was getting old. This was a fraction of the price of my old system but is actually much superior in sound quality and ease of use. The on-board condenser mics are great at this price point and I use them when recording acoustic guitar. The menus are easy to navigate and the whole system is intuitive and straightforward to use. Sending the sound files to laptop is a breeze with the included USB cable. I only have two minor issues with the system. Firstly the Zoom only came with a 2 pin plug so I needed to get a 3 pin adaptor (although these are cheap and readily available from most hardware shops). The other more pressing issue is that I found on my Zoom is that if you rename the sound files on your laptop when it is still connected to the Zoom (in card reader mode) when you next load the project you cannot play the sounds you renamed through the Zoom (but they are still there in card reader mode and are not deleted). Fortunately you can get around this by not renaming the original sound file names, but you will have to remember which file is which! I'm not sure if this issue is limited to only my Zoom. This is only a minor problem and should not detract from the fact that overall this is a superb bit of kit and brilliant value for money with superb sound quality.
Great sound, excellent on-board effects and easy to use. I have an R8 that I love but needed more inputs - the R16 has 8 inputs and is pretty cool. One feature I like is you can just flick a switch and all the inputs from 1-8 map onto tracks 9-16 so you can easily overdub a complex rig of instruments (think of some crazy sequence you have running from a eurorack that you've captured and then repatch and record over the top with the new configuration for even more complex synth jams / patching chops! You can bounce tracks, mix down in place or use this device as a complex 8 in, 2 out audio interface to your DAW. Recommended!

Students, this is your opportunity to get ahead or get caught up, and save money at the same time with our reduced summer tuition rates. Courses offered in Liberal Arts, Business and Science. Small classes taught by experienced professors help you earn the credits you need for next fall and beyond.
Siena College's normal undergraduate tuition rate for a 3 credit course is $1500, and the cost of a 4 credit course is $2000 plus any additional lab fees.
Under the "TAKE TWO" Campaign for Summer 2015 - The cost of the first undergraduate 3 credit course is $1250. The second 3 credit course cost is $750. Total cost for two 3 credit courses is $2000 (You save $1000 off of normal tuition rates). Siena College also will allow you to take a third 3 credit course for an additional $750.
NOTE: Taking 3 courses will put you at the 9 credit hour limit. It is imperative that you understand that if you reach 12 credits in courses, you will be considered a full-time student, and at that point, FULL-TIME tuition rates will apply. To take advantage of the Summer at Siena lower tuition rates you must stay between 3 and 11 credits.
NOTE: A 4 Credit Course (which contains a Lab) will cost $1650 under the "Take Two" Campaign, plus any additional lab fees. Any additional 3 credit course taken with a 4 credit course would be an additional $750. (Again, you cannot exceed 11 credits, or you would pay the Full-Time tuition rate.) If you wish to take two 4 credit courses during the Summer, the Business Affairs Office will set a rate at that time.
HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARS PROGRAM: The High School Scholars tuition rate is a flat $750 per course. The $750 rate applies to 3 and 4 credit courses for High School Scholars.
NOTE: Taking 3 courses will put you at the 9 credit hour limit for the High School Scholars flat tuition rate. It is imperative that you understand that if you exceed 11 credits, you will be considered a full-time student, and at that point, FULL-TIME tuition rates will apply. In other words, you must be a part-time student to take advantage of the High School Scholars flat tuition rate (you must stay between 3 credits and 11 credits).
Please Note: If you sign up for a summer course and fail to formally withdraw, you may be held liable for all or a portion of the tuition fee for that course. You will find the Official Withdrawal Form for Siena College at: http://www2.siena.edu/pages/7640.asp.
If you have any questions on any of the information above, please call Academic Affairs at 518-782-6889.
Each summer, hundreds of young people from the Capital Region gather at Siena College to enjoy a variety of camp experiences, make new friends, and learn new skills while having fun. Many of our camps are directed by full-time Siena faculty members who wish to share their expertise and love for teaching with our campers.
For an enjoyable activity with lifelong benefits, we recommend one of our eight different reading skills programs designed and taught by instructors from the Institute of Reading Development. Programs have been offered as a community service by Siena College, Academic Programs, since 2005.

MRP Highlights
For the past 3 years DEAT SRPP (Social Responsibility, Policy & Projects) has funded the Mussel Rehabilitation Project (MRP) which has been implemented by Walter Sisulu University along the Wild Coast between Umtata Mouth and Hole in the Wall. Download the video: Mussel Harvest The initiative has, without a doubt, been one of the most successful and effective social responsibility projects in the Eastern Cape. It has not only proven that rehabilitation and controlled harvesting of mussel beds is sustainable, but has literally produced tons of protein rich mussels for the benefit of the local community, while also contributing employment, skills training, environmental awareness, resource monitoring, catch-data collation, and many other vital linkages and benefits. Operating since 2000 under the care and guidance of Zoology lecturer, Dr. Calvo-Ugarteburu (affectionately known by all as "Gugu"), the Mussel Rehabilitation & Food Production Project has been funded variously by Marine & Coastal Management (MCM), WWF, and DEAT SRPP.

Ritchie's Evil Eye For Madonna Kabbalah Critic
Madonna's husband Guy Ritchie reportedly gave an outspoken rabbi the "evil eye" during a restaurant encounter - after he described the VOGUE singer as a "slut".
Ritchie was dining in New York's new Jewish eatery Solo on Thursday night (01JUL04), when he came face-to-face with RABBI SHMULEY BOTEACH.
Boteach had previously demanded Los Angeles-based Kabbalah centre head RABBI PHILLIP BERG "dump Madonna as (their) principal spokesman".
A source tells website PAGESIX.COM, "They were eating there at the same time, although not together, and Guy was definitely giving Shmuley what Kabbalists call the 'evil eye'.
"It was like the showdown at the OK Corral."

A Change from Papercrafting!
I've gone back to my old love of sewing, knitting and crocheting lately and I decided to tackle a tree skirt kit I had bought many years ago from QVC. I didn't manage to finish it all in time for putting up the tree, but here is a big part of it! It's been great fun even though the sequins and beads kept pinging all over the place! I will finish the rest before next Christmas hopefully!

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Great Breakfast and nice room. No TV which was disappointing
3.0 on June 30, 2014
We were only there one night of a six week south to north trip. The location, room, breakfast & helpfulness of the staff were all great. Would go back if in Newport again & hopefully stay longer.
4.8 on April 23, 2013
My Fiance and I have stayed at the Marshall Slocum Inn a few times. We have recommended the Inn to both friends and family. There is plenty to do in the area and our hosts were great! The rooms were lovely and the food was amazing! My personal favorite was the blueberry pancakes!
5 on April 19, 2013
Just a quick note to share this is quiet and relaxing bed and breakfast. The staff are wonderful, helpful and courtesy! Excellent breakfast each morning severed with fresh fruit and a smile.I would recommend this Band B to every one!!
3.8 on September 28, 2012
We had a very pleasant stay at the Inn the staff were helpful and knowledgeable and we had a good choice of breakfasts. The room was clean and tidy and if we go back to Rhode Island we would consider staying there again.
4.8 on September 27, 2012
We have stayed at the Marshall slocum inn several times now. Each time we stayed in a different room, most recently in The Snuggery. It was a bit tight but not uncomfortable. The bathroom is up a spiral staircase which is a little different. Each time we stay there, Mark remembers us which is nice considering how many guests they must see. The breakfast is always amazing with several choices based on your diet preferences. The inn is a superb choice! Don't miss out.
5 on September 07, 2012
Stayed here for 2 nights in August. Fell in love. When you walk into the Inn you immediately feel like it is cared for and clean. Our room was very charming and comfortable. I love that there is always iced water with glasses, ice buckets, mugs, teabags available, as well as an attendant accessible in the kitchen throughout the day. The breakfasts were outstanding and probably our fav meals we had in Newport. I would love to return, would not take the chance someone else.
4.6 on August 18, 2012
The Marshall Slocum Inn is a great place to stay when visiting Newport. The home is beautiful and all of the rooms are very comfortable. The MSI is far enough away from downtown Newport that the crowds are not an issue, but it is still close enough to walk there which is nice. Mark and his staff were wonderful hosts. Mark prepared delicious meals and all of the staff wanted to know if we were enjoying our visit and had lots of recommendations about where to go and what to do. These recommendations were very helpful for first time visitors to the area. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Newport.
4.6 on May 21, 2012
The Marshall Slocum Inn is a lovely establishment with nice, quiet rooms and comfortable beds. Noteworthy is the first class manner in which the owner dealt with a mistake. It speaks highly of the way the inn is run.
