Can you tell me why the P/E Ratio and the Earnings Per Share numbers that show up on other Financial Web Sites do not agree with the numbers reported in Telecharts?

For instance,on Friday,September 28,2007, Telecharts show the following numbers for symbol NITE:
P/E Ratio = 9.30, Earning Per Share = 0.24
At MarketWatch.com:
P/E Ratio = 9.20, EPS (Earning Per Share) - 1.30
There's a lot of difference between an EPS of 0.24 and 1.30.
With that much difference in the earnings, wouldn't you expect a much greater difference in the Price/Earnings Ratio? Obviously, I just don't get it!!

I don't have access to MarketWatch data, but the EPS for NITE matches what I would have in Blocks if I sum the Latest Quarter EPS for the last 4 quarters. This would seem to indicate that the EPS at MarketWatch is a trailing 12-Month figure. The EPS in TeleChart and Blocks is for the Latest Quarter reported:
EPS Latest Qtr - Fully Diluted earnings per share from Total Operations, as taken from the latest 3-month ending period.
