UNDATED (WKBT, CNN) - WKBT anchor Jennifer Livingston takes a moment and responds on-air to a cruel letter from a viewer about her weight.
Here's what Livingston had to say:
I want to take a moment to address a situation that has become a talking point in this community over the past weekend, especially on Facebook - that centers around me.
On Friday, I recieved the following e-mail from a La Crosse man with the subject line "Community responsibility." It reads as follows...
"Hi Jennifer,
It's unusual that I see your morning show, but I did so for a very short time today. I was surprised indeed to witness that your physical condition hasn't improved for many years. Surely you don't consider yourself a suitable example for this community's young people, girls in particular. Obesity is one of the worst choices a person can make and one of the most dangerous habits to maintain. I leave you this note hoping that you'll reconsider your responsibility as a local public personality to present and promote a healthy lifestyle."
Now those of us in the media get a healthy dose of critiques from our viewers throughout the year - and we realize it comes with having a job in the public eye. But this e-mail was more than that. While I tried my best to laugh off the very hurtful attack on my appearance, my colleagues could not do the same.
Especially my husband, our 6 and 10 anchor Mike Thompson. Mike posted this e-mail on his WKBT facebook page - and what happened next has been truly inspiring. Hundreds and hundreds of people have taken the time out of their day to not only lift my spirits - but take a stand that attacks like this are not okay. More on that in a second. But first...The truth is - I am overweight. You could call me fat. And yes...even obese on a doctor's chart. But to the person who wrote me that letter - do you think I don't know that? That your cruel words are pointing out something I don't see? You don't know me. You are not a friend of mine. You are not a part of my family and you have admitted you dont watch this show. So you know nothing about me but what you see on the outside. I am so much more than a number on a scale.
And here's where I want us all to learn something from this. If you didn't already know - October in National Anti-Bullying month. And this is a problem that is growing everyday in our schools and on the internet. It is a major issue in the lives of young people today and as the mother of three young girls - it scares me to death. Now I am a grown woman.
And lucky for me - I have a very thick skin...literally as that e-mail pointed out - and otherwise. And that man's words mean nothing to me. But what really angers me about this...there are children who don't know better. Who get emails as critical as the one I received or in many cases even worse - each and every day.
The internet has become a weapon. Our schools a battleground. And this behavior is learned - it is passed down from people like the man who wrote me that e-mail. If you are at home talking about the fat news lady - guess what? Your children are probably going to go to school and call someone fat. We need to teach our kids how to be kind - not critical and we need to do that by example. So many of you have come to my defense over the past four days.
I am literally overwhelmed by your words. To my colleagues and friends from today and from years ago...my family, my amazing husband and so many of you out there that I will probably never have the opportunity to meet - I will never be able to thank you enough for you words of support. And for taking a stand against this bully. We are better than that e-mail. We are better than the bullies that would try to take us down. And I leave you with this... to all the children out there who feel lost...who are struggling with weight, the color of your skin, your sexual preference, your disability - even the acne on your face...listen to me right now. Do not let your self worth be defined by bullies.
Learn from my experience that the the cruel words of one...are nothing compared to the shouts of many.

Canon MREAL augmented reality system on sale in US in March
updated 11:12 am EST, Thu February 21, 2013
AR system superimposes computer imagery over users vision
Canon has put its augmented reality system on sale in the United States. The MREAL Mixed Reality system, consisting of the MP-100 software platform and the HM-A1 headset, allows wearers to see computer-generated 3D images superimposed over what they are looking at, giving users an idea of what an object would be like virtually before making a physical version.
The headset uses a pair of cameras to film what a person would be looking at, and using a number of sensors to work out exact positioning, overlays parts of the image with graphics before displaying it on screens in front of the user's eyes. Using objects with special markers, the system knows what specific item can be overlaid with a virtual object, and what orientation it needs to be generated in. Optional controllers can be used to manipulate the virtual objects in real-time.
The MREAL system has been on sale to businesses in Japan for a number of months already, and is being released in the US from March 1st. Aimed towards product design teams and other creative industries, including for architectural and entertainment purposes, MREAL systems start from around $125,000, with a $25,000 annual fee for maintenance.

Alleged militants killed in drone strikeComment on this story
Sana'a - Five suspected militants linked to al-Qaeda were killed by a United States drone attack on Sunday in central Yemen, in what appears to be stepped up strikes by unmanned aircraft on Islamists.
The strike took place in the city of Radaa on a vehicle which was believed to be carrying militants, officials said.
"Five were killed and eight injured and we are still investigating who these men are and in what way they were linked to al-Qaeda," one official said.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is based in Yemen and has mounted operations in neighbouring Saudi Arabia as well as attempting to launch attacks against the United States.
Washington, which fears the spread of Islamist militancy in Yemen, has stepped up drone attacks this year. At least 14 suspected militants have been killed in air strikes apparently carried out by drones since Friday.
Earlier on Sunday, two al-Qaeda-linked militants and a pro-government tribesman were killed in clashes in Yemen's restive south, a local official and a tribesman said.
The Yemeni army helped by local tribes launched a US-backed drive in May to drive Islamist militants from Ansar al-Sharia (Partisans of Islamic Law), an offshoot of al-Qaeda, out of several southern towns they had held for more than a year.
The two militants killed in Sunday's violence in Abyan province were from Somalia and Pakistan, the tribesman said.
Ansar al-Sharia has attracted hundreds of foreign fighters since it seized the towns in the south and declared them Islamic emirates. Some of those militants had previously fought in Afghanistan.
A Defence Ministry website said an al-Qaeda commander, Khaled Batees, was among eight militants killed by a US drone strike in the eastern province of Hadramout on Friday.
Batees had previously been captured by security forces but escaped prison last year. - Reuters

|Elderly men with renal dysfunction are most at risk for poor outcome after neck of femur fractures.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23034557 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: both acute and chronic renal dysfunction (ARD and CRD) have been reported to influence outcomes after neck of femur fractures. We have examined the relationship between the length of stay, mortality and renal dysfunction using biomarkers. These included pre-operative (admission) serum concentrations of urea, creatinine and albumin, and estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) derived from four- and six-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equations. METHODS: complete outcomes data for 566 patients and the patterns of variations in the biomarkers were analysed using generalised linear models. Cox-proportional hazard analyses investigated the association between kidney function (as assessed by the above-mentioned biochemical data) and post-operative length of stay and mortality. All patients were stratified for CRD according to their eGFR. RESULTS: serum urea and creatinine were significantly, positively correlated with age. After adjusting for age and sex, risk of mortality was positively related to six-variable eGFR and creatinine, and marginally so for urea. One-year mortality risk thus worsened with stages of CRD (1-4), increasing age and male gender. Risk of discharge from trauma ward, the length of stay in trauma ward and the overall length of stay were not related to urea and creatinine, but were negatively related to both four- and six-variable eGFR. CONCLUSIONS: the study has identified elderly renal-impaired males as the subgroup of patients most at risk for poor survival. This subgroup may require a more targeted approach to the management of their fluid and electrolyte homoeostasis to help improve their outcomes.

The screams echo in the
Cries for help, shrieks of pain
Prayers whispered in the shadows
When no one came.
Where do all the screams go?
Do angels hear the cries?
Is that what rain is,
The tears falling from their eyes?
They say only God sees all
Or does he look away?
Maybe he can't handle
What the world's become today.
A silent cry is whispered
In the middle of a storm of rage.
Do the cries reach heaven?
Or get trapped in Satan's cage?
Is it the angels' angelic voices
That fill the heavens' skies?
Or is it the screams for help
When a child cries.

Motorola Xyboard Wi-Fi up for pre-order, ships in two weeks
updated 11:30 pm EST, Fri January 6, 2012
Motorola preps cheaper Wi-Fi only Xyboard tablets
Motorola has begun taking pre-orders for a Wi-Fi only version of the Xyboard. Losing the Droid name from Verizon, they remain identical on the inside and cost significantly less. The 8.2-inch 16GB and 32GB models cost $400 and $500 respectively, while climbing to 10.1 inches adds another $100 to the cost.
Inside, they still share IPS-based LCDs, dual-core 1.2GHz TI OMAP chips, five-megapixel rear and 1.3-megapixel front cameras, and Android 3.2. The 8.2-inch model focuses on higher-powered speakers and wide viewing angles as a video-first tablet.
All of the Xyboards ship the week of January 18, or just under two weeks from Friday.
The Wi-Fi version are following a similar pattern to what Motorola tried with the Xoom, where it started off with a cellular version and only went to a carrier-free Wi-Fi version later. As with the Xoom, most have considered that a possibly dangerous error as it led to unusually high prices that put the tablets out of competition with the iPad and other tablets that both cost less for similar features and have a cheaper starting point.

SAN FRANCISCO Even with rookie sensation Adrian Peterson completely shut down by the 49ers, the Minnesota Vikings were in good hands as soon as Kevin Williams got his big mitts on the ball.
The Vikings' 311-pound defensive lineman returned an interception 18 yards for a touchdown on the game's first play, and Chester Taylor had an 84-yard scoring run in the Vikings' fourth straight victory, a 27-7 win over hapless San Francisco on Sunday.
Robert Ferguson caught a 19-yard TD pass from Tarvaris Jackson, who passed for 163 yards. The Vikings (7-6) moved into the sixth spot in the NFC playoff picture by jumping to a 27-0 halftime lead with no help from Peterson, the NFL rushing leader entering the game.
Peterson finished with a career-low 3 yards on 14 carries, as 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis won the meeting of two high-profile rookies. Minnesota's only dynamic offensive play was Taylor's TD run, the third-longest in franchise history and the bulk of his 101 yards rushing.
Yet nothing fancy is necessary to beat the Niners (3-10) these days.

A computer processor, or microprocessor, reads and executes program instructions. The instructions are bits of data that tell the computer what to do.
The processor speed, also called the "clock rate," is measured in megahertz, MHz, or gigahertz, GHz. One megahertz (MHz) is one million hertz, and one gigahertz (GHz) is one billion hertz.
While it's true that a faster clock rate generally means the computer will run faster, there are other factors that impact the overall performance of the computer like how much memory the computer has and how many sets of instructions it is trying to execute simultaneously.
The core is the part of the processor that performs the instructions. The first computers had one core, meaning they could only process one instruction at a time, though computer makers found ways to speed them up so they were multitasking. A dual-core processor has two processing units that work together to process instructions. A multi-core processor has two or more cores and can process multiple instructions at one time. The more cores a processor has, the faster it is, though, software and other factors can affect performance.

A breakdown of the best-selling devices at AT&T and Verizon
They conducted the survey by contacting 250 retail stores, and asking them which devices were selling better than others. They didn't ask for specific numbers, so we can only see the percentage of stores at which a device is dominant.
At AT&T, the iPhone 4 has a commanding lead as the top device at 65% of AT&T's locations. Android devices were the top sellers at 31% of stores. At Verizon, the iPhone 4 is the top seller at 51% of stores, and 4G LTE Android handsets are the top sellers at 11% of stores. In case you didn't catch that, BTIG made the odd choice to compare the iPhone 4 with 4G LTE Android handsets at Verizon, rather than Android handsets overall.
The real shocker is that 2% of AT&T stores reported BlackBerry as the top seller, and 1% of stores reported Windows Phone 7 as the top seller. We think it would be interesting to see where those locations are (geographically, demographically), to see why those stores are defying the odds.

Is it a shocker that 2% of the stores said that blackberry was the top seller because is it a low number or a high number?
46. TheBrizz (Posts: 18; Member since: 24 Sep 2010)
Because it's a high number. I'd love to know how that happens at ANY store when you consider how hot the iPhone, Atrix and Inspire are.
2. DROIDX0430 (Posts: 466; Member since: 24 Nov 2010)
I have to comment.... 4G LTE phones with Verizon are the Thunderbolt by HTC, Samsung Charge and LG Revolution. (Why didn't they compare all Android phones vice only 4G/LTE devices)----which aren't selling that great due to the fact that they are overpriced with horrible battery life and LTE not everywhere, which make people opt for the Droid X2, DroidX, Incredible2, Droid Global, Samsung Fascinate...why didn't the survey include these devices....they are Android....don't just limit to 4G LTE devices.......I'm am sure the iphone would not have had this high number of sales.
15. clevername (Posts: 1435; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
What kinda of math did you learn? I'm not trying to be insulting im just wondering what formula you would use to come to that conclusion? Apple(A) has 51% at Verizon stores, LTE android(L) has 11%. The variables are all other android devices(x) and all other devices(y). If the whole is 100%, and Apple has 51%, then the equation goes like this: A+L+X+Y=100%
Now we know the value of X is the total amount of android devices minus L, which itself cannot be more than 38%.
38% must be the limit for X. It cannot be bigger than that because A is not a variable. It is a fixed 51%. That doesn't change no matter what other number you throw on or "Hide".
This is basic algebra.
I'm not being an Apple fan or an android hater. These are numbers that's all.
28. hepresearch (unregistered)
Unfortunately, even the known quantities in this so-called "data" are ambiguous at best... because of the labels, we actually cannot tell if they included other Android handsets in the mixed category for Verizon. "4G LTE" got 11%, and "iPhone" got 51%, but this does NOT mean that the other 38% is something else... the third label is "Same"? I am tempted to think this means that 38% of Verizon stores in the "sample" expressed that "iPhone" and "4G LTE" categories were nearly equal "in their opinion", though I should not assume such a meaning. If it does not mean that, then BTIG Research picked a very poor name for the category that could represent any or all other devices... and if it does mean what I think it does, then BTIG failed to get meaningful readings because it is impossible for 38% of Verizon stores in their "sample" to have sold exactly equal numbers of "iPhone" and "4G LTE".
As for the AT&T chart, there are so many problems that it would be a waste of my time to talk about it... and with such a mess of mixed signals, poorly handled "data", and ambiguous labels in this so-called "survey", I really don't feel like picking it all apart. Suffice it to say that "basic algebra" is not even helpful with trying to understand these shoddy pie charts...
33. clevername (Posts: 1435; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Its a poll of how well phones are selling in stores that were polled. So it does mean that the other 38% consists of non lte android phones and non Apple devices. Its using a pie chart. A pie chart should tell u this is based off a 100% pool model. Meaning if 62% is accounted for then 38% must be the remaining and cannot consist of items from the 62%. Its very straight forward. To think that just because non lte Android devices weren't mentioned they aren't considered is naive at best. They were considered, that's evident by the use of percentages of all phones sold. You can't have percentages of 2 types of phones sold and not account the others if the 2 don't equal 100%. The problem here is that only lte Android devices were compared. That's what is tripping people up. But by no means does it mean they were the only ones looked at. So the other 38% of Verizon stores not mentioned sold more devices that were not lte or Apple. That might mean the other 38% sold more android than anything else. Or that could be 37% and 1% sold more blackberry. Or however you wanna add it up but the numbers remain to say no more than 49% of stores sold more android than anything else.
37. hepresearch (unregistered)
In that case then, you have assumed that the 38% consists of some other option that is neither "4G LTE" or "iPhone". There is absolutely no basis for this assumption, and just because a pie chart "adds up" to 100% does not mean that it represents all of the phones sold by the "sample" store locations. BTIG Research has couched their words and displays quite carefully to show favor to a certain handset maker, and in the process they have opened the door to extreme misinterpretation and assumptions as well... this "survey" was done very poorly, and the results were presented in an even poorer fashion. BTIG Research has wasted PA's time and web page resources, and honestly I do not feel like wasting any more of my time trying to help people here see this BTIG "survey" for what it is... a biased, illegitimate sham!
29. p0rkguy (Posts: 685; Member since: 23 Nov 2010)
Don't know where you learned your English but it's OF the stores on which device that sold better.
That means throughout the Verizon stores used in this research, 51% of Verizon stores were selling the iPhone better.
ie. Out of 100 Verizon stores, the iPhone is the best selling in 51 stores when compared to LTE devices. 11 stores have the LTE devices as best selling.
53. Krutan (unregistered)
Your overly convuluted math is right, but your reading skills need checked. Apple is best seeling AT 51% OF Verizon retail locations. That has nothing to do with the actual number of phones.
You could, for instance, have a crappy kiosk location selling 20 phones a month with the majority of those being IPhones.
3. Whateverman (Posts: 3242; Member since: 17 May 2009)
Yeah, why no mention of non 4G Android devices? And why just store locations? this sounds a little suspicious!
4. snowgator (Posts: 3504; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
"They didn't ask for specific numbers, so we can only see the percentage of stores at which a device is dominant."
Well, so long as it is accurate. No sales person would ever lie to slant numbers to his/her favorite devices, now would they???
iPhone is an amazingly well supported device. Apple refuses to allow it out of the consumers mind. While Android as an OS may be larger, I doubt we will see any single device outsell it as long as the brain trust at Apple stays intact.
5. JohnC (unregistered)
Meaningless statistic - You could sell 40 Android phones to 5 iphones, but if it was 4 of each model Android phone, the iphone would be your top seller and would show up at 100% despite being only 11% of sales.
34. clevername (Posts: 1435; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Not completely true. I see what you're saying but that's assuming the poll is device specific. Its not. Its grouping android devices together. This is not individual handset sales. Well not at att, at Verizon it is individual Apple handset sales. But Android is still grouped. But that's only because there's only one Verizon iPhone.

On the Verizon chart, it is clearly "iPhone" against "4G LTE"... not versus all other Androids for the Verizon chart. The catch is that the "Same" slice possibly refers to all the Verizon stores where the employee on-site felt that iPhones and 4G LTE phones were selling in near-equal portions... in other words, there is a "tie" category. The AT&T chart also has this "Same" slice, but it is incredibly small, only 2%. On the AT&T chart, it begs the question "Same as what?" Do they mean that "iPhone" and "4G Android" phones sold equally well, or that "iPhone" and "WP7" sold equally well, etc. There is simply no way to be sure, but the clearly intended impression is that "iPhone" is being displayed as the dominant model/smartphone OS being sold at both AT&T stores and Verizon stores. My spidey-sense tells me there is some data-cooking going on here...

Above posters are correct. This was a s**tty and misleading survey.
10. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
why? because iphone won? u have to find some reason why it cant win?
11. Sniggly (Posts: 7297; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Because there's no real metric by which it won. The choice of competition is weird and arbitrary, the sample is small, and the categories are poorly labelled. We don't know where the stores are or the demographics involved. And these are also not based on tracked numbers but on the word of salespeople who may or may not be right.
22. Phoneguy007 (Posts: 218; Member since: 02 Jun 2011)
what kind of sample is this.....
27. hepresearch (unregistered)
Yeah, what Sniggly just said...
If the folks at BTIG Research had said this was a "scientific" survey, I would have to have laughed in their faces. Not only did they not bother to collect really vital information, such as exact sales figures, which are absolutely necessary for any credible survey, but they apparently (... conveniently...) discarded all useful information that they actually did collect (such as demographics and locations of stores). So now, we have all these lovely pie charts, but absolutely no basis of any kind in representing reality... and they probably no longer have a record of which stores they actually bothered to call. Sad, sad, sad...
45. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
but, i am just saying, wudnt it be a much more random number than the somwhat accurate numbers that they have? and, 250 retail stores isnt entirely small... yes i understand the survey has its faults, but it is as it says, and all surveys have some faults... but besides for a small shift in numbers, the underlying principle is still true-- in att and verizon the iphone is outselling the other devices in a pretty decent amount of stores...
52. hepresearch (unregistered)
Um... lets see... because the results don't seem so random to me, and because they match what my close friends, whom I have deemed to be credible, are telling me on a regular basis, they must be "somwhat accurate"? What do you call accurate? Apparently, removing all non-4G Android phones from the "survey" is what is required to make sure the results are accurate... apparently the iPhone 4, without "4G", is automagically superior to any non-4G Android phone...
Most research/polling firms consider a data set of 1000 samples, minimum, to be "due diligence". 250 samples cuts the veracity of the result in half... someone decided to be lazy, or nit-pick which stores they would sample...
There is no "underlying principle" involved here... BTIG cut all non-4G Android phones out of the picture in order to make the iPhone look better... and then also took a slight, cursory stab at embarrassing BB and WP7 in the same breath.
55. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
okay, well i understand the 4g at verizon, but there are no decent non-4g phones at att... only the captivate and i highly doubt that is the number 1 selling thing anymore... u know the margin or error is only 6%... that really is not very much...
56. hepresearch (unregistered)
6% is not a bad margin-of-error... for a high school science lab result. In my chosen field of study, we deal with errors smaller than 10^-12 on a routine basis, so 6% is, like, thousands of standard deviations... not that the "survey" required a whole lot of precision, but it would have been nicer if the margin was cut in half at least. You will notice, though, that the Android phones in the AT&T sample are restricted to HSPA+, so it eliminates all standard 3G Android phones from the "survey". To assume that 3G Androids on AT&T are negligible is not a very legitimate assumption at all.
57. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
tell me what 3g android phones there are that are popular? the only popular ones are the 4g ones... nd how is 6% thousands of standard deviations away when one is 34%?

If iPhone was outselling at 51% then no matter how you look at it Android as a whole couldn't have been more than 49%. And that's saying Android was the only other top seller. So don't worry, its not that suspicious that they pitted iPhone vs 4G android phones. 4G android phones are naturally verizons biggest android advantage over iPhone. So even if it was all Android devices it wouldn't add up to be more than 51%.
Nothing sneaky here. However 51% is such a close number and margin for error with polls is usually 3% so take it with a grain of salt. But just because there is a margin for error don't go thinking that error is taking away from iPhones 51%. It could go either way.
17. AaronG (unregistered)
I think your math is wrong. The 51% would probably go down if more phones were included.
Example: 100 Iphones sold. 50 Android 4G phones sold. If they added 100 non-4G Android phones it would be 150 Android phones. Thus, making the iPhone % smaller.
Hope that was clear enough.
20. WhaTheHeck (unregistered)
Its clear to me.
"In case you didn't catch that, BTIG made the odd choice to compare the iPhone 4 with 4G LTE Android handsets at Verizon, rather than Android handsets overall."
In case you didn't catch that, BTIG made the odd choice to compare the iPhone 4 with 4G LTE Android handsets at Verizon, rather than Android handsets overall.
the article/comparison is bogus beyond belief.
38. clevername (Posts: 1435; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
The problem is your adding units and not percentages. You assume the only included devices are those listed. Not the whole inventory.
You're example:
"Example: 100 Iphones sold. 50 Android 4G phones sold. If they added 100 non-4G Android phones it would be 150 Android phones"
Is misled. You're mistake is assigning set values to the percentages.the poll amounts for all phones sold in the stores. If 50 lte phones are 11%(the value you assigned) then adding another 100 android devices is adding another 22%. Making android come to 33% total. Since all devices were accounted for(even though only 4g devices were compared) you aren't actually adding devices by accounting for the exact number of non lte android devices, you are just eliminating X as a variable(to use the math from a previous post) by identifying it as 100. The percentages are set, by assigning values you have ruined the math and made and incorrect equation because the percentages are always the same. The amount of iPhones was not identified. Nor was the amount of any phone. Only the percentage of stores that sold more iPhones. Out of 250 stores 51% sold more iPhones. thaT 51% is static, fixed, cannot be changed. That means no matter how many more android devices you add, more than half of the stores report more iPhones sold. The only way to change that is add more stores not devices.
To make it simpler: don't think of the devices being polled, think of the subject of the poll as the store. That is what is actually being polled.
That said this poll isn't the best example of scientific study. But with the numbers given these are the results.
40. hepresearch (unregistered)
Unfortunately, your statement "Since all devices were accounted for..." is an assumption, again. Just because the pie adds up to 100% does not mean that it includes all devices sold by the "sampled" stores. That is simply not specified anywhere in the charts or even the news article. The third slice, labelled "Same", does not have to represent all models that are neither "4G LTE" or "iPhone". If that was the case, then the AT&T chart would be extremely confusing... why would "other" smartphones and feature phones only account for 2% of AT&T's total sales at "sampled" stores? I will go as far as to say that the AT&T and Verizon charts have actually been treated differently in order to intentionally exaggerate the appearance of "iPhone" sales at Verizon stores, and to intentionally belittle the appearance of Blackberry and WP7 sales at AT&T stores. Niether WP7 or BB was mentioned at all on the Verizon chart, and yet "4G LTE" was the sole choice compared with "iPhone" that is actually acknowledged. No where in either chart does it specifically say that any other devices, smartphone or feature phone, were included in the "survey". The surveyor in charge has stacked the decks for us...
58. mrisco11 (unregistered)
I think you are looking at it wrong. 51% of store report the iPhone as their best seller when compared to 4G LTE Android phones. That does not meant 51% of phones sold are iPhones.
Store A is called and asked to participate in the survey. This store has sold 50 iPhones, 20 4G android phones and 75 3G android phones.
If you ask the manager what sold more iPhone or 4G android, he will say iPhone because 50>20, however if you asked what sold more iPhone or android, the answer would be android because 95>50.
Changing the parameters can have drastic changes on the results.
26. Sniggly (Posts: 7297; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Clever, the survey is not about what margin the iphone 4 supposedly has over other devices in each store. It's about what percentage of stores overall report the iPhone 4was as their top seller. So in the time period surveyed, 5 iphone could have been sold versus 4 Android phones in each store and thus "won." It's the same standard by which a president can win an election despite losing the popular vote.
30. hepresearch (unregistered)
The sample was 250 store sites, each with equal weight... therefore, we take the standard approach to determine error in a multi-point data set; Standard Error = (100%)/sqrt(sample size). Very simple. In this case, we divide 1 by the square-root of 250. This gives about 0.063 (with two significant figures), for 6.3%. The small sample size is a huge problem.
The typical poll that you see on the "mainstream media" sites usually has 1000 data points, and hence the seemingly "standard" margin-of-error of 3%... never assume that every poll automatically has a margin-of-error of 3%.

Don't know where you learned your English but it's OF the stores on which device that sold better.
That means throughout the Verizon stores used in this research, 51% of Verizon stores were selling the iPhone better.
ie. Out of 100 Verizon stores, the iPhone is the best selling in 51 stores when compared to LTE devices. 11 stores have the LTE devices as best selling.

3G Droids are highly profitable, for the commissioned employee, the store, and Verizon corporate. Their job on the store level is to talk about why you DIDNT want an IPhone, and why the Droids are much better.
Either most of these stores are order-takers (and not salesmen), or the absense of 3G Android is meant to bolster Apple's percentage in this survey.
16. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
listen it was about a best selling DEVICE not company.. HTC, MOTO or APPLE, and survey or no survey we all know that the best selling DEVICE is the iphone, just putting my two cents :-)

Hi, genius. Just so you know, the DROID X last year sold like hotcakes. The Bionic has the name, the hardware and the connection tech to make it an extremely attractive device. All it will need now is the marketing, and unless Motorola fails extremely hard it will sell.

This article just like many is so biased to Apple.
I work for a retailor with more than 40 locations and the Android is easily the #1 selling device.
Id say our top 3 devices are:

2) HTC Thunderbolt
3) Apple iPhone

43. Whateverman (Posts: 3242; Member since: 17 May 2009)
@ truthbetold. No, "Same" means that the iPhone 4 and LTE Androids are selling about the same in that store. 3G Android devices were not counted in this survey at all.
48. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
So I actually read the article and here's what it is. The question was which phone is selling the best not which OS. That means that iPhone is selling better than any other phone. Not that it's selling all androids combined. I still thin it's impressive. The iPhone is now 1 year old. A lot of the trolls on here spelled doomsday for iPhone once lte phones came out. That's clearly not the case. In fact some troll on here claimed that it wasn't fair to compare the iPhone to 4g phones because they're buggy and have battery life? And yet Apple sucks if they don't have 4g
50. applesauce (unregistered)
About 60% of the stores in this "poll" were apple stores!
Also, the severe lack of non-smartphones in higher numbers is highly suspicious
51. ogre150 (Posts: 23; Member since: 16 Apr 2010)
What it looks like to me is that they asked the Verizon stores: "Which sells better? The iPhone 4 or 4G lte devices?" That's it. No mention of specific handsets other than the iP4.
So given the choice of just the two... you get 51% iP4, 11% 4G lte, and 38% are selling the iP4 and 4G lte handsets equally.
Maybe if they asked a general question of which smartphone, regardless of make or features, the number's would be a little different.
For Verizon, anyway. The At&t group surveyed looked to be more open as to which smartphone could be the best selling at any given store.
I love android and hate apple. But I hated apple when I used the apple 2E computers back in the 80s. Never liked a closed format. The PC could be upgraded and tinkered with, not the apple computer. So yes I have a bias, but you have to agree, so does this survey.

Japan faced with gloomy dataComment on this story
Tokyo - Japan produced a gloomy batch of economic data Monday showing shoppers growing nervous and the trade deficit ballooning, as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe prepares to launch a controversial sales tax rise.
The government said consumer sentiment weakened in January, while the current account surplus - the broadest measure of trade with the rest of the world - hit a record low in 2013 as the cheap yen pushed up energy bills.
A policy blitz by Abe, which meshes government spending with central bank monetary easing, has driven the yen down and boosted stock prices, earning him acclaim for kickstarting the long-sluggish economy.
A recent tally of the Nikkei economic daily showed nearly 70
percent of listed Japanese companies are likely to post sales and profit growth in the current business year to March.
However, many firms have yet to embrace Abe's call to hike wages. A poll by Kyodo news agency last month showed nearly three-quarters of Japanese people are feeling no effect from the so-called Abenomics.
Worryingly for the premier, it also showed that only 17 percent of firms - around a sixth - are planning to hike wages, even as Japan begins to experience real inflation for the first time in several years.
Monday's data from the Cabinet Office showed the consumer sentiment index fell to 40.5 in January, the lowest level since 39.9 in December 2012.
A reading below 50 indicates pessimism.
The subindex on views on livelihood fell to its lowest reading since June 2011 and that on willingness to buy durable goods dropped to the weakest since May 2011 - suggesting the mood is as gloomy as the months soon after the earthquake-tsunami that wrecked the northeast coast and hammered the economy.
Separate data from the finance ministry showed Japan had a surplus of 3.31 trillion yen ($32 billion) on its current account in 2013, the weakest on comparable data stretching back to 1985.
The current account is the broadest measure of the country's trade with the rest of the world, including not only trade in goods but also services, tourism and returns on the country's foreign investment.
Government leaders last month said they were winning the war on stubborn deflation as consumer prices logged their their first rise for five years in 2013.
But the rise was largely driven by soaring import bills due to a cheap yen and the country's reliance on importing expensive fossil fuels since its nuclear plants were shuttered after the tsunami-sparked Fukushima crisis.
Japan's trade deficit more than doubled to 10.6 trillion yen in 2013 from the previous year as costlier imports of oil and gas overwhelmed export growth.
Abe has decided to follow through on a pledge by his predecessor to hike Japan's 5.0 percent sales tax to 8.0 percent in April.
The move is seen as a crucial first step towards bringing down an eye-watering national debt, but naysayers fear it will derail Japan's budding recovery.
Some economists say continuing trade deficits may be a sign that Abenomics is actually succeeding.
Unlike previous recoveries in Japan, his policy of much greater monetary easing and bringing inflation into the economy is aimed more at domestic consumption than pushing goods overseas.
"If Abenomics succeeds, domestic demand-led economic growth will be achieved, making current account deficits a more regular feature of the Japanese economy," predicted Koya Miyamae, economist with SMBC Nikko Securities.

She has her iPod in her ears slippers and sweats on and is walking around the house up and down the stairs getting "exercise" she just stopped for a water break
I didnt realize til after I got out of her apartment and into the lobby that we lived in the same building.
we do all of our sexting over chat on words with friends, so my boyfriend doesn't know about it when he looks at my texts.

It's gotten to the point where even copying off yahoo answers is still way too much work.
I have a great idea. you just need to get pregnant.
Mother, no, i will not talk about this again. Please stop planning my unborn daughters life. I will not put her in pagents. That is trashy. Stop watching toddlers in tiaras. It is also trashy. I love you.

2 Year Bowers & Wilkins Warranty
Bowers & Wilkins Z2 offers versatility and convenience without compromising performance. This is down to attention to detail in the science of acoustics, as well smart implementation of audiophile-grade electronics. This manifests itself in a combination of sensible implementation of core Bowers & Wilkins technologies, many of which were originally designed for our high-end loudspeaker ranges, and bespoke Z2 developments.
Drive unitsForemost among the new technological developments are B&W Z2's drive units. Our extensive research and development has allowed us to use a single full range drive unit without resorting to additional tweeters. Reproducing such a wide frequency range with a single drive unit presents challenges. Most problematic is that resonances are emitted by the speaker diaphragm and voice coil at high frequencies. Z2 uses the same glass fibre cone material as found on our M-1 speaker. This stiff and light cone material controls diaphragm resonances to improve off-axis high frequency beaming, creating a spatial and natural sound anywhere in the room.
Anti-Resonance PlugAdditionally, in order to control the resonances emitted from the voice coil and the associated high frequency distortion Anti-Resonance Plug technology (as found on the high-end PM1) has also been implemented. The single drive unit delivers pure and clean highs.
Speaker basketSound radiates from the rear of a drive unit as well as the front. For most applications this is undesirable as the rear sound adds colouration when it reflects off of the speaker basket. By using a speaker basket with increased open area, rear sound reflections are minimized. Additionally, the air pressure behind the diaphragm is distributed more evenly, which prevents rocking of the diagram and voice coil components. The result of fewer rear sound reflections and uniform speaker movement is that associated coloration is dramatically reduced.
Flowport™Z2 also incorporates Bowers & Wilkins Flowport™ technology. The dimpled holes around the port reduce air turbulence in the same way as a golf ball. The ports are ultra silent so the bass is clean at all listening levels.AmplifiersZ2's versatile size is disproportional to performance; critical to this are the carefully selected amplifiers. The latest class D amplifiers with minimal output filters address intermodulation distortion in the electronics domain. Audio artifacts normally associated with the use of output filters are pushed higherin frequency, way out of the hearing band. To the listener the result is smooth and clean high frequencies.
Digital Signal ProcessingFor many docking speakers, when played at high volume levels, the sound become unlistenable and incoherent. Z2 takes a clever approach by applying propriety Digital Signal Processing. Z2 monitors and analyses the audio signal at every sample and intelligently optimises the system to ensure controlled bass output and room filling sound at all listening levels. The direct digital signal from the source passes through our audiophile digital to analogue convertors ensuring that the sound is kept intact and as accurate as possible.
Power supplyGreat sounding audio electronics, especially amplifiers, rely on a great power source; this has not been over-looked for Z2. The power supply has been designed to deliver maximum stability. Clean, low-noise power ensures that all electronic components including the amplifiers can unleash their full potential.
Build qualityZ2's audio electronics and acoustic components are capable of generating a lot of sound output. To ensure that the enclosure does not rattle or buzz great attention and thought has been applied to the design. Not only has the enclosure been made from glass re-enforced ABS, extra strengthening ribs have been included to limit and control undesirable resonances. The end result is a versatile AirPlay speaker, capable of producing room-filling, high-quality sound both wirelessly and when your iPhone is docked.

Through three days of spring practice, Ole Miss' Jamal Mosley estimated he's found himself lined up in six or seven different places.
That's by design - while listed at tight end, the new coaching staff sees Mosley as a here, there and everywhere kind of player.
"You can do so much with him," tight ends coach Maurice Harris said. "Him being 6-3, 6-4, 250 pounds. He can line up obviously at tight end. You can also put him at fullback." ...

The tweet heard 'round Minnesota has been swatted down by Kevin Love, who denied Thursday he ever told the Timberwolves he will opt out of the final year of his contract.
Hall of Fame basketball writer Peter Vecsey tweeted late Wednesday that he did tell the Wolves that, drawing an immediate Twitter denial from Wolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders and an oral one Thursday from Love.
"It's a media-driven story," Love said. "I just, for the past couple of years, can't believe some of the stuff that's come out."
It was the biggest drama in Minnesota on the NBA's trade deadline day, which passed without a move by Saunders.
Love, a three-time all-star, is set to earn $15.7 million next season and has the option to void the $16.7 million on the table in the final year of his contract in 2015-16. After the Wolves' victory over Indiana on Wednesday, Vecsey, without citing a source, tweeted that Love has already told Saunders he will opt out.
Asked directly if he told Saunders that, Love said, "No."
Love, 25, is one of the NBA's best players, on a team that hasn't been to the playoffs since 2003, and most likely won't be there this year, either. He is averaging 26.2 points, 13.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 51 games. His future has been a hot topic.
Love, who made his first start in the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, was in a CBSSports.com report that said the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks were lining up pieces to acquire him.
"I got a slew of those questions at (the All-Star Game) and basically said I'm done talking about it," Love said. "Then Peter Vecsey, who I don't think I've ever talked to, comes out with a story."
Saunders first rebutted Vecsey's tweets after the Wolves beat the Indiana Pacers 104-91 at Target Center.
"Rumors of Love telling me he's opting out and wants to be traded are false," Saunders tweeted Wednesday night. "Last conversation I had with him was him telling me how bad my sports coat was."
That, Love confirmed.
"I did say that," Love said. "Anybody who saw him (Wednesday) night, it was pretty bad."
But dealing with questions about his future will become less of a joking matter, especially if no resolution is reached this summer, before next season's trade deadline, much less before the summer of 2015.
"It comes with the territory, but I just don't want to talk about it because it takes away from the team," Love said.
The trade topic overshadowed Love's 42-point, 16-rebound performance Wednesday against one of the best teams in the league.
"It didn't look like he was going anywhere last night, and that's the direction I wanted," Wolves coach Rick Adelman said.
Also Wednesday, Love was quoted in GQ Magazine as saying the Wolves have a "better team, better foundation" than the Lakers, whom he's often connected with because, among other factors, he played college basketball at UCLA.
"Our foundation right now and our team is better than a lot of the teams that you guys and Peter Vecsey and whoever the hell else says I'm going to," Love said.
Turiaf out indefinitely
Wolves center Ronny Turiaf is out indefinitely after suffering a right knee bone bruise in Wednesday's game.
Meanwhile, center Nikola Pekovic (ankle) was able to do some drills Thursday and the team listed him as "day to day."
"He did some work on his own (Thursday) morning," Adelman said. "And we did some five-on-none and some drill work, and will see how he feels (Friday)."
Without Turiaf and possibly Pekovic for a five-game road trip, Adelman said Love might have to play center in addition to Gorgui Dieng and Dante Cunningham.
"You're hoping that maybe Pek comes back a little bit quicker than they've talked about," Adelman said.

Dell exec: our Windows 8 tablets better for work than iPads
updated 04:05 pm EDT, Fri March 16, 2012
Dell CCO Felice shrugs off iPad
Dell's chief commercial officer Steve Felice in a sweeping interview on Friday tried to downplay the effect of the iPad, and Apple as a whole, at work. He contended to Reuters that iPads and iPhones still raised "a lot of concerns" in the corporate world, where compatibility with the rest of the office, device management, and security might still be problems. Dell would be in the "best position to meet those," he said, although Felice didn't say how his company would be different from other Windows supporters.
The executive went on to bring out familiar complaints about iPads. They didn't have the performance or the ease of typing of a hardware keyboard. "When people put their computer to the side and take their iPad with them to travel, you see a lot of compromises being made," Felice argued.
Touching on Windows 8, he reiterated the company's enthusiasm for Windows 8 and its often hinted plans at a return to Android tablets. The current plans saw tablets of any kind from Dell showing sometime in the second half of 2012. Felice was optimistic that Apple and Android tablet makers hadn't locked up the market. "We don't think that this market is closed off in any way," he said.
Windows 8's public reaction has yet to be tested and isn't necessarily a rebound for Dell or Microsoft. Aside from the new Windows having to wait until late into 2012 to enter the market, concerns exist that the work world might react badly to the major break in interface. Almost all Fortune 500 companies are either testing or actively using iPads and show both an existing desire to use iPads as well as an early foothold that might be tough to dislodge.
Dell's own history in tablets has seen most of its success limited to Latitude models that primarily appeal to a smaller portion of business users. It tried mainstream tablets with the Streak 5 and Streak 7, but both took a long time to reach the market and were outperformed by multiple competitors.

Kat Hubbard is running away. The heiress has discovered that she was sold by her brother to the over-bred man she thought was marrying her for laughs. Her escape on her yacht leads to even more trouble.
Dean Mickler's town is dying. Since the closure of the Mother Hubbard factory, people have been moving away to find work. He is determined to find a way for them to stay, and then he will leave with a clear conscience.
A runaway bride finds herself trouble, love and a home in Potter's Kiln, Georgia. The mayor would like to run away himself, but his overdeveloped sense of responsibility keeps him in the dying town.
This is a very funny story with some very good love scenes. Before you can really settle down to enjoy it, suspend all of your knowledge of how the world and law enforcement work, because Potter's Kiln is another planet as far as that is concerned. In my world, Basil would be in jail for a long list of crimes with Rooster right next to him, but in this backwater, federal and state laws regarding unlawful imprisonment, falsely reporting an incident, reckless endangerment and the like do not mean much. That aside, this is a tale full of off the wall characters, crazy situations and is in short a lot of fun. Kat and Dean are great characters; Kat is a misfit in a family of corporate sharks and Dean is sane and responsible in a world gone mad. Who would not love a story with a schoolteacher named Pristine Picklesimer in it or a pig who lures unsuspecting chickens to their doom? All this and more is in store for readers of this screamingly funny story.

I know half the world is still reeling from the announcement of the Boy Meets World sequel show, Girl Meets World, coming very soon. But if you guys are anything like me, one thing has been hanging over our heads since the announcement. What happened to Minkus. I mean, you do remember Minkus, right? He was that small, super nerd who hung around with the gang and then just vanished one day, never to be heard from again? Well, guess what? MINKUS IS BACK! I know I shouldn't be as excited as I am about this, but for some reason, I find it wonderfully nostalgic.
Don't get too excited, all you Minkus fans out there. Sadly, as stated by E, he is only set to star in one episode of the show. Disney is also being real mum about just what the reunion will entail, or what his story line will be. Man, way to make the fans drool with nerd anticipation, huh? I bet it would be very safe to assume that Minkus will be coming back Bill Gates style. He probably went off, created some super program, and has steadily become extremely rich and well known in his absence. This is Disney, so it is safe to say he will not be playing a villain, but it will be really cool to see how they cast him, and to get to see him interacting with his old on-screen friends.
Girl Meets World debuts this Summer on the Disney Channel.

Decorative Ice Tray
Serve cold foods outdoors on a flower-filled ice tray. Here's how to make one easily:
Fill a 13- x 9-inch pan with water. Cover top of pan with self-sealing plastic wrap. Place 2 strips of tape about 1⁄2 inch apart on the plastic wrap 1⁄2 inch from inside edge on each short side of pan. Using the paring knife, evenly cut Xs, smaller than the diameter of the carrots, in between strips of tape on each side. Fit carrots into Xs; secure with tape, if necessary.
Place pan on level rack in freezer, and freeze at least 24 hours. Remove plastic wrap, carrots, and, if necessary, tape. Run tap water over ice block to remove from pan. The frozen carrots will be soft and easy to dig out of the ice with a small spoon, if necessary. Place your choice of flowers in ice cavities.

Health and Safety Tips for Extremely Cold Weather
For Immediate Release: January 15, 2004
Contact: Vermont Department of Health
Communications Office
BURLINGTON - Cold weather takes on a new meaning with frigid temperatures and below zero wind chills. Extremely cold temperatures may cause power failures and risky driving conditions, but personal health and safety should be important considerations for children and adults, whether in the home or outdoors.
Infants and older adults are particularly susceptible to hypothermia, or below normal body temperature. Infants do not make enough body heat by shivering, and the slower metabolism of an older adult will not create enough body heat if exposed to cold temperatures. Even healthy adults can become hypothermic if not dressed properly for the weather conditions. Wearing warm clothes, keeping babies and older adults in warm rooms, eating well-balanced meals, avoiding alcohol and drinking warm drinks will help maintain a healthy body temperature.
Although extremely cold temperatures are here, you can still prevent cold-related health problems and be prepared for emergencies. Winter survival kits for the home and car are a good start. Some recommendations for a home survival kit include:
- Stock food that doesn't need refrigeration like baby food and formula, crackers, bread, cereal, canned foods and dried fruit.
- Store extra water for drinking and cooking in clean containers, or buy bottled water. Try to keep a minimum of five gallons per person.
- A good supply of medicines that a family member may need.
- An alternate way to heat your home if there is a power failure, such as a kerosene stove.
- A battery-powered radio and clock, plus plenty of batteries, blankets, a flash light, first aid kit and fire extinguisher.
- If there is a power failure, never leave candles unattended or use charcoal grills indoors.
- If house pipes freeze and water is not available, snow can be melted for water. Bring water to a roiling boil for one minute to kill most microorganisms.
An automobile survival kit may include:
- Blankets
- First aid kit
- A bag of sand or cat litter for traction
- High calorie dried or canned foods and a can opener
- A flash light and extra batteries
- A brightly colored cloth to signal for help
The extremely cold weather won't last forever, and the lasting impression of cold-related health problems can be avoided by planning ahead. More cold weather health and safety tips can be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention web site.

How to make a paper pot!
11 comments:
I was too scared to ask you where you got your paper pot maker....I sometimes think I leave too many comments and ask too many questions on some blogs...but I SO wanted to make some of those pots..thanks..ReplyDelete
ask as much as you want! I'll never mind! xxReplyDelete
- WendyJW10:24 a.m.
Thanks so much Laura! You have no idea how good your timing is..... after buying one of these recently (for hubbys Fathers Day present..haha) we have had trouble following the instructions. I was about to google it. Well done - our seedlings will thank you for it.ReplyDelete
I'm sure you're doing it right. Once the potting mix is in the pot it gives it more stability and the weight of it keeps the bottom of the pot flat. You could use a wee bit of tape - but I would take it off ( most likely get soaked off anyway) before putting in the groundReplyDelete
Wonderful explanation! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I love it when you leave me comments, it lets me know there are folk out there reading my ramblings! Thank you, I appreciate them loads and loads
