The unexpected news was seen as boding
The oakley vintage unexpected news was seen as boding ill for Facebook, which is closely tied to Zynga and will issue its first earnings report as a public company on Thursday. Facebook shares fell 8 percent in late trading.
For Zynga, a Silicon Valley darling whose public offering last December seemed to herald a wave of tech success, just about everything went wrong at once.
A brief list: Facebook made changes to oakley lifestyle sunglasses its gaming platform that hampered Zynga regulars. A critical new game, the Ville, was delayed. Another new game, Mafia Wars II, just was not very good, executives conceded. The heavily hyped Draw Something, acquired in March, proved more fad than enduring classic. Some old standbys also lost some appeal.
“Facebook made a number of changes in the wholesale ray ban sunglasses quarter,” John Schappert, chief operating officer, said in a conference call with analysts. “These changes favored new games. Our users did not remain as engaged and did not come back as often.”
Revenue for the second quarter was $332 million, below analysts’ expectations of $343 million. And the company lost $22.8 million, or 3 cents a share in the quarter, although excluding one-time items it had a profit of 1 cent a share — still below expectations.
But the real problem was that Zynga slashed the forecast for its bookings — revenue less fees it pays Facebook — to as low as $1.15 billion for 2012, from oakley vs ray ban $1.47 billion.

Police have said Holmes began buying
Police have said Holmes began buying guns at ray ban sunglasses cheap Denver-area stores nearly two months before Friday's shooting and that he received at least 50 packages in four months at his home and at school.
Holmes, who is being held in isolation, is refusing to cooperate, authorities said. They said it could take months to identify a motive.
The shooting was the worst in the U.S. since the Nov. 5, 2009, attack at Fort Hood, Texas. An Army psychiatrist was charged with killing ray ban wayfarer on sale 13 soldiers and civilians and wounding more than two dozen others.
On Monday, security was tight as uniformed sheriff's deputies were stationed outside, including on the roofs of both court buildings.
Holmes' entrance into the courtroom was barely noticeable but relatives of shooting victims leaned forward in their seats to catch their first glimpse of him. Two women held hands tightly, one shook her head. One woman's eyes welled up with cheap rayban sunglasses tears.
Holmes sat down in a jury box, next to one of his attorneys. When the judge asked him if he understood his rights, his attorneys did all the talking.
Christina "Crispy" Blache, who was shot in both legs during the rampage, watched clips of Holmes' court appearance afterward with her father, Robert Blache. Her father said Holmes looked insane, while the restaurant manager said she believed Holmes had no idea what oakley fuel cell he did.

When you look at the population growth
“When you look at the population growth, the oakley sunglasses outlet actual party is shrinking,” Mr. Schmidt said. “It’s becoming more white. It’s becoming older. “
Over the past decade, Republicans have turned to wealthy business executives like Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina to run for statewide office. But the party’s troubled demographics, as well as the history of these self-financed candidates getting roughed up by the political process, may give pause to other wealthy Californians, party officials said.
The slide began in 1994, when Republicans rallied around a voter initiative, Proposition 187, that would have made it illegal for the government to provide services for undocumented aliens. That campaign created a political rupture with oakley special editions sunglasses Hispanics at the very moment when their numbers were exploding.
“The manner in which immigration is handled nationally presents a challenge to Republicans in California,” Mr. Del Beccaro said.
Republicans said they feared becoming further marginalized in November should President Obama win the state by a big margin, sweeping Democratic candidates into office in the Assembly and Senate. (There is one bright spot: Republicans oakley womens sunglasses seem poised to lose fewer seats than once feared in the state’s Congressional delegation.)

Surprisingly, only 11 percent of owners
According to wholesale rayban sunglasses Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, which conducted a survey of more than 1,000 iPad buyers earlier this year, around 40 percent responded that they will be using the device for Web browsing. Entertainment, which includes watching videos, listening to music and looking at photos, took second spot at around 33 percent. Rounding up the top three activities is gaming, with around 27 percent of buyers.
Surprisingly, only 11 percent of owners indicated that they use the iPad to connect to social networks. Reading e-books or magazines cheap oakley sunglasses website $29.00 $39.00 also featured low on the list, with only 8 percent of respondents.
This study reinforces the impression that tablets are primarily media consumption devices. While iPad usage in business is increasing--owners of the latest iPad are especially likely to use it for business--it is still only lagging behind leisure activities.
It could also indicate that 7-inch tablets, which are even more skewed toward entertainment, are here to stay. The Google Nexus 7 has been doing well since its launch and Apple, too, is rumored to produce a smaller iPad later cheap oakley sunglasses for men outlet this year.

Since AT&T is letting them continue
Since wholesale rayban sunglasses AT&T is letting them continue with their current data plans, these customers, whose contracts will end this year, may be less inclined to look at other providers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint when they buy their next iPhone.
BUYING IN BULK
AT&T hopes the new plan leads people to buy data in bulk because the bigger the data plan, the cheaper the per-gigabyte rate will be. A customer who wants 20 gigabytes of data, would pay $200 every month, or $10 per gigabyte - level with its current $30-for-3-gigabytes plan.
"We think there's really great flexibility for these oakley sunglasses new style outlet 636
plans," David Christopher, AT&T's chief marketing officer for mobile told Reuters.
For example, he said a customer could use more data on their tablet one month and switch their heaviest usage to a smartphone the next month without adjusting their plan.
Or if some family members tend to use less data than others, the heavier users would be less likely to go over their limit and incur hefty overage fees under the new plan.
But if the higher price for each gigabyte of data is off-putting for some consumers, there is one key difference between AT&T and Verizon Wireless. AT&T will keep offering its existing plans whereas Verizon Wireless offers no choice to new customers $29 oakley sunglasses and customers upgrading to a subsidized phone.

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said wholesale rayban sunglasses Tuesday after the Putin-Annan meeting that Moscow is ready to seek consensus in the Security Council, but gave no indication how it would resolve a disagreement over the Western draft.
"I don't see a reason that we couldn't agree in the Security Council. We are prepared for that," Lavrov said according to the Interfax news agency.
Moscow's proposed resolution calls for the low price ray-ban wholesale "immediate implementation" of Annan's plan and guidelines for a political transition approved at a meeting in Geneva last month but makes no mention of sanctions.
There were no comments from Putin after the meeting, but at its opening he promised Russia would do all it could to support Annan's effort.
Russia and China incurred international criticism by discount ray bans outlet twice vetoing U.N. resolutions to increase pressure on Assad.

In fact, Sigue was an HSBC customer
A day after the wholesale rayban sunglasses agreement was announced, David Bagley, the head of HSBC compliance, sent a handwritten note to another bank official, asking, "Obvious question--I assume they are not our customer." Bagley is scheduled to testify on Tuesday at the Senate hearing.
In fact, Sigue was an HSBC customer, and bank officials internally discussed whether to close the account. One compliance official recommended it should be shut down. In the end, the bank kept doing business with Sigue.But is it cheap ray bans for sale inevitable? Our own Erika Morphy is skeptical (a least for a quick release), citing a source that feels Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) wants to wait on going forward with a smaller tablet because profit margins in that space are not as healthy as it would like. Another possibility is that Apple is waiting to see how Google’s Nexus 7 plays out with consumers.
Forbes contributor Anthony Wing Kosner disagrees, arguing that an iPad Mini is the right move for the company for several reasons: a) it could be competitive in the space, b) it would hurt Google(NASDAQ:GOOG), c) it could own more of the cheap oakley sunglasses website $29.00 $39.00 tablet space.

Matteson didn't lose the lead
Matteson wholesale rayban sunglasses didn't lose the lead until making double bogey on the 15th hole. Johnson, playing in the group ahead, had birdied the 13th and 14th holes to get to 19 under. Matteson's misfortune made Johnson the leader.
Zach, who had gotten off to a sluggish start with six pars to open the round, birdied six of the last 12 in regulation. Johnson had a two-shot lead on the 18th, where he split the fairway and then hit his second shot to 20 feet. As he walked to the green, a huge roar broke out behind him.
"It was an eagle roar," Johnson said. "I didn't know if it was Stricker or Matteson."
Matteson had made a 60-footer for eagle at the par-5 17th to catch Johnson at 20 under. Both players parred 18 and the playoff started at the 18th. It cheap oakley sunglasses website $29.00 $39.00 was not a playoff for the ages.
Matteson drove it right, into the trees. Johnson hit it in a fairway bunker left. Matteson's second shot found the water, opening the door for Johnson, who proceeded to hit his second into the water as well.
"I hit it really thin," Johnson said.
Both players ended up making double bogey, and the playoff returned to 18. Johnson found the same bunker on his drive, while Matteson hit the cheap oakley sunglasses for men outlet fairway. Johnson, playing his approach first, hit his shot to remember.

The forward who led the Ducks
The ray ban wayfarer forward who led the Ducks in scoring last season with 66 points, the man who turned 42 on July 3, let Anaheim know Thursday that he had decided to come back.
Selanne, who is poised for his 20th NHL season, will make $4.5 million with the one-year extension, slipping neatly into the pay structure for the 40-something crowd.
Selanne said there was some unfinished business from last season. The Ducks struggled through a disappointing season that included a coaching change ray ban sunglasses online discount 2128 and missing the playoffs.
"I still feel that I have something to give and that I just feel I can play at this high level," Selanne said on a conference call while vacationing in Italy. "And even with the tough first half we had last year, I still enjoyed the game so much. So that's why I knew way earlier than normal that I wanted to play again.
"… Age is a funny thing. A lot of times, I don't feel 42 right now. After all, it's just numbers and it all depends how good you feel, how ray ban sunglasses womens online sale 2129 healthy you are and how much passion you have for the game."

Paterno died of lung cancer Jan. 22
“Consumers ray ban wayfarer ask us to do that all the time,” he said. “I don’t think that’s likely because I don’t think the media companies in general would be willing to do that.”
The sluggish economy and online services such as Netflix Inc. (NFLX) (NFLX) and Hulu LLC also may make satellite customers less likely to pay higher rates, White said.
“In this economy, consumers are struggling,” he said. “Their incomes aren’t growing at those rates, and it’s tough for the average consumer. That’s what we care most about.”
Viacom said its fees account for less than 5 percent of the ray ban sunglasses 2012 new for sale satellite service’s programming expenses, and that DirecTV “enjoyed way below market rates for Viacom’s networks for a very long time.”“I feel compelled to say, in no uncertain terms, that this is not a football scandal,” Paterno wrote in late December and early January.
Penn State said the Paterno family sent the column to former PSU football players Wednesday morning.
Paterno was fired after Sandusky was arrested in early November and charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse of minors. Sandusky was convicted on 45 counts last month and faces a maximum of 442 years in prison.
Paterno died of lung cancer Jan. 22, two months after ray ban sunglasses classic 2012 on sale being fired in the wake of the scandal.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius did not ray ban wayfarer seem enthusiastic about the Russian proposal when reporters asked him about it during a visit to Beijing.
"We will see. There must be a need for such a meeting for it to take place. After Kofi Annan's visit to Damascus, would it be more or less necessary? I can't say," Fabius said.
"The Action Group is a group for action, to make progress. So we will, if necessary, hold such a meeting. Mr. Lavrov said it could be in Moscow or Geneva. What matters is whether a meeting will be useful or not."
It was agreed at the Geneva meeting that ray ban sunglasses online discount a transitional government should be set up in Syria, but the major powers remain at odds over what part Assad might play in the process.
Russia says no transition plan can pre-suppose that Assad will step down. The West and allied Gulf Arab states say he must go, and the Syrian opposition say that is their basic condition.
DEATH TOLL MOUNTS
The activist Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 17,129 people have been killed in Syria's increasingly sectarian revolt, pitting rebels from the ray ban sunglasses classic 2012 on sale Sunni Muslim majority against Assad's Alawites, related to Shi'ite Islam.

Joey Bats has come on offensively
“But knowing that ray ban wayfarer we lost three starting pitchers, it’s a pretty big hit to take. We’ve had guys from the minors and guys from the bullpen trying to fill in the rotation. When you have that many people go out of their role, you’re not going to get the consistency you need to compete, especially in a division like ours. Hopefully they come though and are able to make a good move.”
Joey Bats has come on offensively since his slow start —when the two-time defending major league home run champion was trying too hard to show that he could beat the shift by going to right field, that he isn’t just a Dave Kingman-type slugger who could be pitched to and defended with a simple infield shift.
When he figured it out, he was named Jays player of the ray ban sunglasses new style best online month for May and June.
“Just going back to what keeps me successful,” the 31-year-old Dominican said. “Being patient, going back to waiting for my pitches from the middle-in part of the plate.
“I was chasing a lot of pitches on the outer side, pitches that were away. I was trying to go to right field, which is not my strength. (Dwayne Murphy) pulled me to the side and I started making the adjustments. Ever since then, everything changed. I started walking more, and after a couple of walks pitchers were trying to throw the ray ban sunglasses 2012 new for sale ball over the plate, and when they were missing over the plate I was able to cause damage.”

At a "Friends of Syria" meeting grouping
At anyone order from oakley sunglasses cheap? a "Friends of Syria" meeting grouping Assad's Western and Arab opponents, Clinton urged them to make Russia and China "pay a price" for helping the authoritarian leader stay in the office he, and his late father before him, have held for 42 years.
On Saturday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin shot back: "Any words and deeds that slander China and sow discord between China and other countries will be in vain."
Russia and China say they are committed to the aviator sunglasses 2012 peace plan of U.N. envoy Kofi Annan that prescribes national dialogue, but reject the position of Western powers and their Gulf Arab allies that Assad must step down to enable reform in Syria.
Annan told French daily le Monde in an interview published on Saturday that Western criticism of Russia was diverting attention from the role of other countries in backing Assad and arming his soldiers, notably Iran.
"Russia has influence, but I don't think that events will be determined by Russia alone. What strikes me is that there is so much talk about Russia and much less about Iran, and little is said about other countries that are sending money and weapons aviator sunglasses 2012," he said.

The international community has spent
The ecs011532 international community has spent months helping Libya organize its first free election, although the campaign period itself has been a rushed affair—less than three weeks long. International and local observers will be monitoring the process, but the vote tallies aren't expected for several days after Saturday's polls.
About 80% of eligible voters have registered to cast ballots. Close to 4,000 candidates are vying for the 200 seats of the new Congress, of which 120 are reserved for independent candidates and 80 will be filled by political parties. Some 130 parties have formed, though few have national reach.
Here in Benghazi, the eastern city that is home to much of the country's oil and oil-services companies, hundreds of would-be politicians ecs011148 are vying for seats.
Armies of students walk traffic-clogged lanes cradling the Mediterranean seafront, distributing political posters and campaign literature featuring the faces of candidates from their chosen parties. Libyans eagerly grab these pamphlets, but often appear confused by a lack of nuance on issues such as healthcare, defense, education and the economy.
Many independent candidates are well-known businessmen, lesser-known artists or members of prominent families, eager to try their hand at representative politics. Since the Gadhafi-era media infrastructure has yet to be replaced by any national news outlets, few candidates are known outside their local areas or even beyond their extended families or employees.
Some newly formed national political parties, however, discountoakleys and rayban are well-financed and have registered members to run in districts across the country.

A big part of the world economy
The mac makeup wholesale moves would push JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s average interest rate for developed economies to a crisis-era low of about 0.5 percent and add to the balance sheets of major central banks, which have already swelled 40 percent in five years of global financial turmoil. The jury is out on whether the monetary medicine will work or whether policy makers will be forced to deploy further measures.
“A big part of the world economy has become Outlet Mac Makeup Brush Set 7Pcs in black Canada Latest fairly stagnant and so central banks are in easing mode again,” said Joseph Lupton, a global economist at JPMorgan in New York. “We’re probably at the point of diminishing returns, but it can still be argued that it helps somewhat.”
Global Easing
The Bank of England, which has been drawn into the scandal over Barclays Plc’s rigging of Libor rates, will announce its decision at noon in London. The Mac Makeup Outlet Brush Set 10 Pcs In Brown For Cheap Latest ECB will follow at 1:45 p.m. in Frankfurt and President Mario Draghi holds a press conference 45 minutes later.

It was not the end of this high-quality match
It ray ban sunglasses classic 2012 on sale was not the end of this high-quality match — defined by bursts of power rather than sustained exchanges — but it was the end of Kvitova’s best opportunity to generate bona-fide angst. Williams broke her in the next game, then slammed the door with three aces — none slower than 116 m.p.h. — to close out a 6-3, 7-5 win, her most significant victory on grass since the 2010 final here against Vera Zvonareva.
“Technically, her serve motion is absolutely perfect,” said the longtime coach Nick Bollettieri, who has known Williams since she was 10. “It’s almost like you wish everybody could serve like that. She uses her legs beautifully, the ray ban sunglasses new style best online right leg drags up, she keeps the left hand extended beautifully.”
She translates all that into intimidating power. Williams’s average speed on her first serve against Kvitova was 109 m.p.h. David Ferrer, a Spaniard who is into the men’s quarterfinals, has been averaging 109 m.p.h. on his first serves, too.
Williams’s average speed on her second serve Tuesday was 92, faster than the tournament averages for two men’s quarterfinalists: Florian Mayer (87 m.p.h.) ray ban sunglasses new style best online and Andy Murray at (88).

The candidate keeps a 29-foot Sea
The oakley sunglasses fashion best online candidate keeps a 29-foot Sea Ray boat in the enormous three-boat garage outside of his lakefront estate. He also has a small Boston Whaler, two of the Sea Doo water skis and a Malibu water ski boat. In past summers, he's been spotted water skiing on the lake.
Perhaps the only sign that something's different this summer is the security. Law enforcement boats are parked just off the compound's beach. A Secret Service agent sat quietly behind the family in church on Sunday. And, when Romney travels to town, instead of riding a bicycle, he's in a black SUV flanked by security cars.
This year, questions about oakley sunglasses mens discount 2012 whom Romney will choose as his vice presidential running mate hang over his vacation.
The Republican National Convention is drawing closer, and Republicans are speculating that the candidate may be spending part of his summer meeting with potential vice presidential running mates.
Fueling the talk is the fact that Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, whom many observers consider a top contender, will be in New Hampshire next weekend for a Republican fundraiser in Concord. Another potential running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, has visited the house before: He and his wife shared a meal with the Romneys before Pawlenty endorsed his oakley sunglasses womens online sale former rival's presidential bid.

Does it matter that he's still No. 4
It sounds popular oakley sunglasses 2012 new arrival good to say, Tiger is back. And for the next several news cycles until he has another disappointment at a major or regular tour event, we'll be talking about his slow ascendance back to No. 1 in the world. But Tiger has warned us time and time again that this is all a progression, and that perhaps our expectations of him are sometimes unrealistic despite his otherworldly success.
Does it matter that he's still No. 4 in the world despite being the only three-time winner this year other than Brandon Grace, who has achieved the feat on the European Tour? Not really. In Nicklaus' prime, there wasn't an Official World Golf Ranking.
Whether we like Tiger or not, he's in the classic oakley sunglasses for women online outlet business of hard work and winning.
"I try hard," Tiger said. "I try everything I possibly can and give everything I possibly can, and sometimes I don't quite hit the ball well or not putt well and do everything right. ... Welcome to golf."
So wherever you fall on the Tiger spectrum from the lovers to the haters, try to do what those 25,000 fans did on Sunday afternoon at Congressional cheapest oakley sunglasses best online and just take in the moment for what it is.
