I am looking for something different. Would like to know about the 38 Super. Is is a good round? Is it a good round for SD? Any info would be welcome.

I think it's supposed to be more accurate than 9mm but less recoil than .45acp. Seems like it's generally used for competition more than anything. From the little research I've done about it, if you're not going to reload, it's not worth it.

Yup, they are mostly used in competition any more. .38 super (auto) is the "magnum" version of the .38 auto. It was quite the hot-rod back in the thirties for a handgun round. You would definitely be handloading this round nowadays but it uses any 9mm bullet (.355 or .356 in lead)(115-147 gr.) We have a couple shooters at our club who have race guns in this chambering and man, do they CRACK! I can feel them through the concrete floor, through my shoes. One can get a 115 gr. bullet doing in the neighborhood of 1350 fps. No problem with penetration there for a 9mm.(and they tear up a bowling pin pretty good, too!)
March 26, 2005, 12:52 AM
I like the Super and have owned several. Shoots same bullet as 9MM Parabellum but about 200-300 FPS faster in top loads. With ball it is a very high penetration round. It was made in 1929 in response to cops who wanted to shoot through car bodies.
But, the ammo makers have reduced the power of this round to the level of the old 38 ACP it replaced. You must reload this caliber to gain full potential. I load a 115 JHP to around 1500 FPS. A 1911 will hold 9+1 so I think of it as a 10 shot 357 Magnum.
March 27, 2005, 10:29 AM
I have a series 70 commander in 38 super...and love it...it shoots flames out just like my trooper MKIII .357 ! You ought to get one
March 27, 2005, 10:50 AM
Great and very versitle round.
I had a load pushing a 115 at 1600 fps (not recommended) that shot very well.

All the folks playing games and using .38 Super, Supercomp, or .38TJ (all variations of the same) are having to move a 115 gr bullet at 1450 or greater to make 165 power factor. Now if a mfg. turned out a quality HP load skipping along at about 1350+ it would be very worth having fo self-defense, but the few factory offerings suck, so you are left to handload.
March 27, 2005, 02:43 PM
If you reload then its a great caliber. The 115 gr @ 1350 is std Corbon 9mm ballistics. My Rangers run in the 1250's and are 127 gr.
For strictly defensive purposes a 9mm is probably better, more ammo is available and plinking is much cheaper..........again, only if you dont reload.
Shoot well....

I enjoyed shooting my buddys series 70 in 38super so much , I went out and bought me a MK4/series 80 Enhanced in .38....His little commander shoots flames out thats really impressive,and its a great shooter!! :what:
March 27, 2005, 09:35 PM
I LOVE the .38 Super round. It's a little more fun for me at the range due to it's bigger "umpf"!!!! Although I've had SVI (Infinities) and a few others, my Colt SCGC is my favorite. I'm waiting for the .38 super hard chrome models to become available so that I'll have a matching .45 and .38 super.

..............I have a full size Witness in 38 Super. Actually bought for my wife when her probabtion dept was supposed to be armed under the sherrif's dept. Turned out not to be so and I inherited it. I began working with it and had almost instant success. One favorite load is the 147gr Lyman FNBB (153grs) at 1260 fps (surplus WC820 ball). For a jacketed load it loves the 124gr Gold Dot HP's @ a tad over 1300 fps.
It's surprisingly easy to hit the 200 meter gong with it at our range. Slug gets there pretty quick.

reliable 10 shot magazines are now available for the Super, so you have a 10+1 gun.
Another cool thing about the .38 Super is that Jeff Cooper often used one on his forays into Central America, since his preferred .45ACP was against the law due to being a military cartridge.
From his book, FIREWORKS, pg.117, when he was almost under attack from some men in a car:
"...now in my hand, is a Super 38. I would prefer my own 45 but it is a prohibited caliber in this country.......In any case, the Super will have to do.....it's ten-round capacity and good penetration in car bodies are comforting. A man inside a car is no problem for a Super. There are at least 6 men in the black car. With an extra full magazine on my belt I have 19 rounds available. Used carefully, 19 should be plenty."
Also, in his book ANOTHER COUNTRY, he mentions the Super in his essay on his exploration of a Mexican River.

I have the Rock Island Armory 1911 in 38Super and it's a great gun. Factory loads are very mild so it's fun to shoot. My daughter likes it too. I'ts hard chromed so it's prettier than anything. Will post a pic when I can.
The FBI adopted it for a while back in the '20s.
March 29, 2005, 07:13 AM
The .38 Super does sound like a good round, but wouldn't buying a comparable .357 Sig make more sense?
March 29, 2005, 07:23 AM
The 1911 don't come in 357Sig. ;)
March 29, 2005, 08:07 AM
The Sig is faster in factory loadings but I think you give up at least one round in the mag. Besides, Super sounds better than Sig. :)
March 29, 2005, 09:05 AM
"The 1911 don't come in 357Sig."
WRONG! SVI will happily make one of its Infinity 1911's for you in .357 Sig (which is really NOT a .357; it is a 9mm bullet on a necked-down .40 case).
If you really want "exotic," get one in 9x23. It will still chamber the more prosaic .38 Super, plus you have the option of the more powerful 9x23 cartridge. And there are LOTS more 9mm bullets to choose from than there are .356 Super bullets. ;)
March 29, 2005, 11:51 AM
I've got a .38 super full size Colt. I think if your gonna load hot, you should consider a barrel with integral ramp and supported chamber (at least in Colt) I've got a 9X23 setup for this gun and it makes real noise. Unfortunately the gun is a SERIES 80 Enhanced. OTHER INFO BELOW
Introduced by Colt in its Government Model pistol in 1929, the .38 Super is nothing more than a souped up version of the vintage 1900 .38 Colt Automatic Cartridge. Although the Super .38 languished in the shadows of other cartridges for many years, it has now become to top ranking competitors in the rapidly growing sport of action shooting what the 6mm PPC is to benchrest shooters. The top guns in USPSA/IPSC competition prefer the .38 Super simply because of its relatively light recoil and its two round advantage over the .45 ACP when both are fired form Colt's Government Model pistol.
For many years the .38 Super was plagued with accuracy problems, mainly because the chambers of the 1911 Colt pistols in this caliber were designed to allow the cartridge to headspace on its almost nonexistent rim. Sometime in 1988, Colt officials decided to follow the lead of custom barrel makers by allowing the mouth of the .38 Super case to headspace against a shoulder in the chamber. As a result of this design change, Government Model pistols in .38 Super now being built by Colt are as accurate as those in the 9mm Parabellum, 10mm Auto, and .45 ACP.
Due to its slightly greater powder capacity, the .38 Super has a slight performance edge over the 9mm Parabellum. As cartridges designed by autoloading handguns go, it is also loaded to relatively high chamber pressures. Most USPSA/IPSC handgunners who compete with the .38 Super prefer the relatively new and extremely strong Remington +P case. For an extra margin of safety, they also use custom barrels with fully supported chambers made by Bar-Sto, Wilson, and Clark.
March 29, 2005, 12:24 PM
The 9x23mm was created to rectify a problem with the Super (the semi-rim) and to make a stronger case that could safely fire the higher-pressure loads many competitors were stuffing in their Supers.
The Winchester 124 grain JSP usually clocks just over 1500 fps from a 5" bl.
I have a Para-Ord frame with a Springfield slide. :)
I would say "There's nothing wrong with the .38 Super, but the 9x23mm is better", but that's not true. The semi-rim on the Super can cause problems.
March 29, 2005, 05:26 PM
"The semi-rim on the Super can cause problems."
If you mean accuracy problems from trying to space on the near-nonexistent rim, any modern gun chambered for .38 Super uses the case mouth. This increases the accuracy tremendously.
As for hooking the semi-rim in a mag, near impossible. There's not enough there to jam a mag the way a carelessly loaded .22 LR will in your Ruger or Buckmark.
Of course, with the rimless .38 Supers, like SuperComp or TJ, even that problem is gone. ;)

The digital challenge begins!
Ciara O'Brien
In today's media industry, you can't stand still for too long, or you risk getting left behind. We could all benefit from a bit of innovation, and who better to bring that to the Irish Times than entrepreneurs?
In recent months, the Irish Times put out a call for start-ups that could work with us in new ways. Five were shortlisted and have already begun their eight-week "getting to know you" period, where everyone figures out if we can all work together in mutually beneficial ways. The companies that made it to this stage: Knockon.ie, GetBulb, Picturk, MyiFli and Storyflow.
It's all very exciting stuff.
But at the heart of things, we're a media company. So with that in mind, we're documenting every step of the way. Each week, we're posting a video update on how everything is going, how the start-ups are getting on and what they think of the whole process.
This is week one's offering.

Hi Pete,
Great talk about Gadgeteer, really interesting MIDI stuff you have going.
The vendor you spoke about in Europe but didn't name with the upcoming Gadgeteer main-board is Love Electronics.
Hello Pete!
Probably I've missed something but let me ask. Is there a possibility to use with Visual Studio various ARM programmers/debuggers like, for example R-LINK from raisonance or U-LINK or J-LINK, ST-LINK?

Perhaps they aren't as widely coveted as Zulu coconuts or Muses shoes, but the porcelain king cake dolls that Alberta Lewis creates for Haydel's Bakery are becoming Mardi Gras collectibles, all the same.
For the past 22 king cake seasons, Lewis has generated designs that reflect wide-ranging facets of local Carnival traditions, all of which the ceramist begins researching as soon as Ash Wednesday arrives.
A local historian of sorts, Lewis knows the geography, trades and traditions of the area well. She even restored the neglected Sebastopol plantation in St. Bernard Parish and made it her home.
But what Lewis knows best is king cake dolls and the role they play in keeping the Carnival culture alive.
"I was introduced to the Haydels in about 1990 by a friend who told me they were interested in re-creating the little bisque dolls that used to be the cakes back in the '20s and '30s," Lewis explained. "I had a long career in ceramics and was living part time in Florida then, working with porcelain. I thought the idea sounded interesting."
When Lewis appeared at her first meeting, she brought along a small collection of king cake dolls (now lost, likely to Katrina flooding) to prove she was the woman for the job. She was elated when she was hired, she says, but floored when she received her first order for thousands of dolls.
Thanks to her Florida connections and friends and family in New Orleans and St. Bernard, Lewis managed to fill the order, which has multiplied in size many times over the past two decades.
Haydel's delivered Lewis another surprise when it was time to begin producing dolls for the following Carnival. She had assumed the bakery would simply place an order for the same doll.
"But when I met with them, they asked me 'What's it going to be this year?'" she said. "So off the top of my head I said 'A king.' The dolls have been different every year since we started."
After the king, came the queen, then a flambeaux carrier. There's a peanut vendor (omnipresent on most parade routes), a beignet server, a Lucky Dog dealer, the Roman candy wagon and mule, a streetcar, a parade ladder, a skeleton, a clown and a FEMA trailer. This season, three dolls commemorate the Saints' 2010 Super Bowl victory.
"I was inspired by what Jim Henderson said as the football sailed through the uprights, about pigs flying and hell freezing over, so one of them is a pig on a cloud and another is the devil with his pitchfork sitting on a block of ice. You know the fan who goes to the games dressed as the Pope? He's the third one."
So many of the inch-and-a-half-tall cake favors have represented various local culinary traditions -- including the "calas lady" carrying a basket of rice cakes on her head -- that the Southern Food and Beverage Museum downtown proudly displays a collection of Lewis' dolls. Each comes with a history of the figure and its relevance to local culture and history, carefully researched by Lewis.
"In my mind, I am always looking for what expresses the essence of Mardi Gras and what I think people will like," Lewis said. "I read the paper, watch the news, observe what's going on and try to spot a trend. Every year I spend Mardi Gras getting ideas for the next king cake season."
If the response she gets is any indicator, she has grown quite adept at trend spotting. Lewis says she receives e-mails from delighted admirers who have found the dolls in their king cakes, many of them out of town. Others have become avid collectors and contact her looking for pieces for their collections. While not everyone who orders a cake is up to speed on the king cake doll tradition, Lewis says she does her part to educate each customer.
"I want them to get the big picture of what Carnival is all about," she said. "I want them to understand that it isn't just a drinking bash but has a long history deeply rooted in the European origins of our culture."

The move is expected to save an estimated $20,000 in postage over the next two report periods.
Parents are receiving a telephone call over the district's automated information system letting them know that report cards are coming home and letting them know that they need to ask their students for the report if they have not yet seen it.
In the future, the district may be able to save even more by reducing printing costs as some parents will be able to monitor their children's progress online, thanks to a new student information system that will go into effect in August.
That system, which has a parent portal that will allow parents to obtain specific password-protected information about their children's progress, replaces the district's current antiquated system which will offer no support services to users after this year. Staff members at schools and the district office are currently undergoing training in the new system.
The decision to send report cards home with students instead of mailing not only saves postage costs, but also hours of staff time required to prepare the cards for mailing.
The cutback is just one of the ways in which the Hart district is trying to cut back $15 million in ongoing operating expenses necessary to insure that it will be able to pay its bills for the next two years.
The goal is to make cutbacks as far from the classroom as possible and with the least impact on jobs.

Remembering our veterans
To the editor:
At a recent funeral in East Palestine, my wife and I met a friend, Mike, a veteran of World War II that we had not seen in years. After this brief encounter, memories flooded my mind of the late 1940s and 1950s of Memorial Day, July 4th, and Veterans Day parades.
Mike was a key person in the parades as a member of the elite color guard. We have since learned that he has marched or been a part of patriotic parades for over 60 years. For you see, Mike is now 92 years old and although small in stature, he is large in character. He embodies all that is good and decent about the United States.
I applaud him and all veterans, including my deceased father and brother-in-law, who have bravely served in the armed forces in defense of the freedoms we enjoy today. Their sacrifices and those of our present service men and women must always be remembered. Their stories of valor must be passed on to each generation.
On this Veterans Day, we ask each of you to honor a veteran in some way. Attend your local Veterans Day parade. Stand erect and proudly address the American flag as it passes by. Visit a cemetery in your area seeking out veterans' grave sites making certain that they are properly presented. Mail in a special contribution to the Disabled American Veterans Association. And finally call a veteran that you know and thank him or her for their service to our country.
In conclusion, I especially thank my deceased father, a World War II Marine Lieutenant and my deceased brother-in-law who served in the Korean War, and Mike Colella, the living veteran spoken of this letter. May God richly bless you and all service personnel.
George and Theresa Morris,
Urges support of the Quakers
To the editor:
A once mighty, historic football program, the Salem Quakers descended into mediocrity and remained there for decades. The city of Salem has had few opportunities to get excited about the football program; That is until now!
The current team of young athletes can be summed up in one word - special. Late game-winning drives, fourth down conversions, gut-checking defensive stops, and the character and determination that does not know the word quit, has propelled the Salem Quakers into the playoffs for the first time ever.
Yet driving through the city after a significant playoff win, I noticed that few store owners had taken the time to place anything in their windows in support of the team.
Front lawns were relatively bare of signs, and the streets somewhat deserted upon return from Granville.
As we face our biggest challenge yet, against Steubenville Big Red, I urge the community of Salem to come to life and rejoice in the remarkable achievements of our fine young football players. SUPPORT SALEM FOOTBALL!
Michael Brown,
More cheers for the mighty Quakers!
To the editor:
All too often I sign on to salemnews.net since I live out of town and end up discouraged by the extended malaise my beloved hometown keeps facing as the economic downturn continues and the illustrious promise of "job creation" has hardly been seen in most of Ohio.
What happened on Friday night in Granville was the stuff people write books about that turn into movies and then into a profitable television series. Our Salem Quakers football team had the ability to freeze time, at least temporarily and gave people something to flat out cheer about.
Seeing fans, both young and old, of a team and a community express jubilation to the point of running on to an opposing field to congratulate their teams accomplishment was a REAL image of hope and change I won't soon forget. This past Friday night is what makes football so great.
It gives your town the chance to break away from from reality, the chance to be excited and even the chance at magnificent success. I want to congratulate the football team on their herculean effort and the community on a fantastic presence at the game. It has even been rumored there were more Salem fans than Granville fans present!
A community is only as strong as its people and we proved that on Friday. Even though displaced, I am certainly proud to be a mighty Quaker.
Regardless of what happens here on out, this season is certain to have a storybook ending. Go Quakers!

The computed tomography scan showed a loop of bowel and areas suspicious for extraluminal air and fluid. These findings suggested a strangulated hernia with perforation, and the patient was taken emergently to the operating room.
In the operating room, a lower midline incision was made. Extraperitoneal dissection was performed to separate the peritoneum from the anterior abdominal wall. The left inguinal hernia neck was identified at the internal inguinal ring. The peritoneum was subsequently opened to reduce both the small bowel and colon entering the hernia defect. The hernia contained loops of healthy-appearing small bowel and a markedly dilated cecum (approximately 10 cm in diameter). There were multiple areas of patchy necrosis with punctate leakage of intraluminal contents. The appendix was also identified and found to be normal. A right hemicolectomy with primary anastomosis was performed. The hernia sac was then ligated at the neck and the peritoneum was closed. Flat Vicryl mesh was placed over the left inguinal hernia defect and the abdomen was closed. At a 3-month postoperative evaluation, the patient had no evidence of recurrence.
An Amyand hernia, first described by Claudius Amyand in 1735,1is an uncommon inguinal hernia that contains the appendix, which may be perforated, inflamed, or normal. Our patient had a rare case of an Amyand hernia occurring on the left side. In the past, the incidence of Amyand hernias was cited as approximately 1%,2though it may be even less common. Sharma et al3describe their institution's 15-year experience, in which 18 cases were noted during 14 years. All of these cases were noted on the right. Left-sided Amyand hernias are seen but are even less common.4
The presentation of an Amyand hernia can vary and is often that of a strangulated inguinal hernia.5The diagnosis is unlikely to be made preoperatively, though the increasing use of computed tomography has made this more of a possibility.6It is far more frequently an unexpected intraoperative finding. The management of an Amyand hernia is typically dictated by the intraoperative circumstances. If the hernia contains a perforated or gangrenous appendix, proper management involves an appendectomy, much as Amyand himself performed. Although the use of mesh has been reported,7it is generally avoided, as it is associated with increased infectious risks and a greater likelihood of recurrence. In an Amyand hernia with a noninflamed appendix, management is more controversial. Some authors argue that transecting the appendix increases the risk of an otherwise sterile operation.8Avoiding appendectomy can also allow the use of a prosthetic mesh to repair the hernia defect with less concern for future infection.3Some authors, however, favor incidental appendectomy to decrease the future risk of appendicitis.9
Our case describes a left-sided Amyand hernia with a normal-appearing appendix. Although the appendix was not inflamed, the cecum was infarcted and had microperforations, necessitating a resection. The hernia repair was performed with a preperitoneal technique using an absorbable mesh owing to contamination from cecal perforation.

Promises and Expectations

Cowles Foundation Discussion Paper No. 1931
We investigate why people keep their promises in the absence of external enforcement mechanisms and reputational effects. In a controlled laboratory experiment we show that exogenous variation of second-order expectations (promisors' expectations about promisees' expectations that the promise will be kept) leads to a significant change in promisor behavior. We provide clean evidence that a promisor's aversion to disappointing a promisee's expectation leads her to keep her promise. We propose a simple theory of lexicographic promise keeping that is supported by our results and nests the findings of previous contributions as special cases.

/a>Kelly Blue Book released its list of the most-researched vehicles, which is unsurprisingly dominated by Asian nameplates. The Honda Civic, which dethroned the Ford F-150 as the best-selling vehicle in America for a brief stint over the summer when gas prices leapt above $4 per gallon, sits at the top of the heap.
KBB's list included six Honda nameplates in total, including the Accord in the number two spot, the second most-researched truck, the Honda CR-V, at number six, as well as the Odyssey, Pilot and Fit. Toyota had seven models on the list, with the Camry and Corolla nabbing the third and fourth slots, and the Toyota Highlander at number eight. The Honda Civic, Honda Accord and Toyota Camry have dominated the top three spots on the list in varying order since 2004.
Of the domestic automakers, Ford had the most models-the Ford Escape at number twelve and the Ford Mustang at sixteen. The Chevrolet Malibu was GM's only model to make an appearance on the list, but also had the biggest leap of any vehicle compared to 2007, jumping fifty-five spots from number seventy-two to number seventeen. Chrysler had no models on the list.
Overall, the list reflects the changing sales patterns of the market: cars dominated the list over trucks and SUVs thirteen to seven. Of the thirteen cars on the list, six were compact or sub-compact cars. The Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris, which were ranked thirty-five and twenty-three last year, jumped into the top fifteen this year.

The San Francisco 49ers will welcome the world to Levi's Stadium in 2014, after 43 years of residence in Candlestick Park. The new stadium looks to be one of the finest in the league and a major upgrade over the aging 'Stick.
What's less clear is which team the 49ers will face in the regular-season opener. The NFL has released the list of teams the 49ers will play next season, but the actual schedule itself won't be released until April.
That leaves us plenty of time to speculate as to just which franchise will get the call for that opener. The NFL has a number of different ways to go with this one, with multiple juicy games against playoff teams sitting on the schedule.
This list attempts to rank the eight home games in order of their likelihood to be scheduled for that game. It takes into account rivalries, quality of matchup, storylines and general interest in the respective teams.
We know one of these teams will get the call for the regular-season opener—and only the NFL knows for sure who that will be. With no further ado, however, here are the eight most likely opponents for the home opener.

It's worth mentioning here that I've been on a horse exactly once, when I was in high school, so you can surmise I'm not exactly the "Lone Ranger." I think horses are big and beautiful — but mostly just big.
The weather forecast for that particular Sunday was for torrential rains, so I figured this father-son moment was not going to happen.
Here was an easy promise to slide out of because I promised him that we would go, unless, of course, it rained. "Ah ha," I thought, "This is perfect." I can look excited about sharing this new "fun" experience with him but never actually go.
Sunday morning arrived — and it was not raining. Not a cloud in the sky. We went over to the stables (because I keep my promises no matter how incredibly stupid they are) and they told us that all the horses big enough to carry men were out on the trail. I was thinking I actually wanted a horsie, not an actual horse, but I guess there must be rules about riders not being bigger than the horse, anyway, here was another chance for escape. I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Oh well, good try." My son, undeterred, said, "We'll be back in an hour."
One hour later we returned. They rolled out my manly horse. His name was Toronado. He was jet black, had fire coming out of his eyes and was jumping 20 feet in the air. This was the horse that the Headless Horseman rode in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."
I climbed a wooden platform that made me feel like I was climbing the steps of a gallows to get on Buttercup, er, Diablo or Toronado or whatever his name was. As I swung my leg over the beast and sat in the saddle, my gimpy hip snapped about four inches of arthritis off my bones. There can be nothing worse for an aging hip than imitating a 14-year-old gymnast. We were yet to take a step and I was already in agony. There I was, just sitting there on this Clydesdale about 27 feet in the air, praying for rain.
As the trip started, I had to shift over to my right side to get the weight off my left hip. The farther we rode down the path, the more I leaned to my right. I looked like I was the wounded cowpoke in a Western movie comin' into town to get Doc to fix me up. I was leaning over the saddle like I'd been shot. Actually, if I'd had a gun, I'd have shot the horse and then me.
So there we were, walking up this trail. Why not trotting or cantering you might ask? That's because I didn't know how to make a horsie go any speed — fast or slow. I looked down for the gas pedal and almost fainted from vertigo. I'd have kicked him, but I couldn't move my left leg at all. It stuck out like I was signaling a left turn.
Down the trail apiece (that's cowboy talk), the other horses wanted to pass me. Well, Rosemary, I mean Thunderbolt, didn't like that, so he started to trot. Oh, great, suddenly he became competitive and wanted to race. I was leaning over my saddle hanging onto the horn-thing just as my horse started to bounce. I went up and down banging my hip into the saddle. I literally screamed like a schoolgirl. The horse's ears went back like, "What the heck was that?" I was hanging off the horse sideways. I'm not sure who was more embarrassed, the horse or me. I needed the Doc and some of that good ole Western medicine. After what seemed like days, but was only an hour, we made it back to the corral. I couldn't get off the horse because my left leg had no feeling in it at all. I slid off it like I was poured out of a bottle.
"Daddy, let's do this again next week," my son squealed. Oh great.

A small percentage of people in remote Amazon communities in Peru appear to be naturally protected against rabies and to have survived rabies infection without treatment, according to a report from researchers from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in collaboration with the Peruvian Ministry of Health (Gilbert AT et al. Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2012;87[2]:206-215).
New research suggests that some individuals may be naturally protected against rabies infection, which is spread by bites from infected animals, such as vampire bats.

Employee Turnover
Organizational Employee Turnover Assessment - Introduction
While there is some employee turnover that may be healthy for organizations, excessive employee turnover can be extremely costly and will negatively impact revenues and profits. Experts agree that an organization can come surprisingly close to estimating the cost of a single turnover event by simply multiplying the annual salary for the position by a factor of 2.5. This cost includes reduced productivity, recruiting and hiring expenses, new employee training, increased liability, and higher unemployment taxes. While the direct costs associated with turnover are high there are other intangible expenses the organization may experience as well such as:
Human Resource Service's Organizational Employee Turnover solution provides answers to important questions such as:

To the editor:
Obama and his ilk are determined to force this country down the path of socialism at best and perhaps Marxism at worst. As you read this, his minions are actively attempting to strip you of your First Amendment rights, your Second Amendment rights, and the money in your wallet. If you think I am exaggerating, you obviously must have recently come from another planet.
Have you noticed that anyone who opposes the liberal agenda is targeted and vilified? Have you noticed that you are being lied to on a daily basis? Have you noticed that from under every bush and from inside every closet those who are considered the far left are coming out in droves? They see an opportunity to remake America in their own image. Why is that? They see in Obama a man after their own heart. Their savior has arrived to lead them to the promised land. However, conservatives and Republicans are not welcome, they are told quite literally to sit down and shut up.
President Obama has been and continues to travel around the country promising everyone more benefits and free this and free that. He is essentially buying votes with false promises. Evidently, he can fool some of the people all the time.
Evidence is overwhelming and growing every day that the Obama administration is the most corrupt and the most secretive in our history. In brief, President Obama can not be trusted. His administration will bankrupt the country, creating a crisis that will open the door for a dramatic reduction in our individual freedoms and rights, all in the name of national security. I am doubtful that the current crop of Republicans in Congress have the brass to stand up to him.
However, there is still hope. I have believed for some time and long before you read this, that Obama will self destruct. He will commit a treasonous and/or impeachable act/acts that will demand his removal from office or at the every least his defeat in the fall elections. He is well no his way to accomplishing one if not both.
His recent public support of gay marriage will cost him millions of votes. The "Fast and Furious" gun running scandal will cost him millions of votes as well. He may even lose his attorney general. His releasing of Taliban prisoners who will undoubtedly return to killing more of our soldiers will cost him even more votes, perhaps in the millions. His attack on religious liberty will cost him millions of votes as well. His class warfare strategy is creating a dividing of America along economic and racial lines, creating a poisonous climate from which there can be nothing but strife, envy and jealousy. The aforementioned are but a few of the issues that will cost him votes. Add it up, he will lose tens of millions of votes. As I see it at this time, he will lose the election come this November. It may be that it will be a humiliating defeat of him and his liberal friends.
I sure hope so. God bless America!
Clyde Bailey

City to round off cash transactions to nickel
The City of Red Deer will round off cash transactions to the nearest nickel increment beginning on Feb. 4.
Rounding will only occur for cash transactions after GST calculation. Debit, credit and cheque transactions won't be affected.
Rounding will occur at city facilities and departments such as City Hall, recreation facilities and arenas, Archives, Culture Services, Transit, RCMP and Alto Reste Cemetery.
No net financial gains or losses are expected.
The city will follow federal rounding guidelines of going up or down to the nearest five-cent increment.
Those guidelines were released last year when the federal government announced Royal Canadian Mint would stop making the penny on Feb. 4 because of the rising cost of production, increased accumulation of pennies by Canadians, environmental considerations and the significant handling costs the penny imposes. Eliminating the penny is expected to save the nation $11-million a year.
More information is available at www.reddeer.ca.

The fire burns as brightly as ever in the veteran Liverpool defender as he prepares for his 737th and last game for the club, writes Tony Barrett
The players' tunnel at Craven Cottage six days ago. Jamie Carragher is preparing to lead Liverpool out in what will be his penultimate game at the club. Mark Halsey emerges from the referee's room and the veteran defender seizes his opportunity.
If there's one thing he wants to ensure, it is that Fulham do not become remembered as his last opponents by doing something that would rule him out of his final match.
"Before the Fulham game someone texted me and said: 'Don't get sent off,' so I had a word with Mark before kick-off," Carragher says. "I just said:

To better define the effectiveness and risks of modern cataract surgery.
Meta-analysis (formal systematic identification, selection, review, and synthesis) of published literature.
Patients described in 90 studies published between 1979 and 1991 that addressed visual acuity (n=17 390 eyes) or complications (n=68 316 eyes) following standard extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation, phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation, or intracapsular cataract extraction with flexible anterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. Main Outcome Measures: The proportion of eyes with postoperative Snellen visual acuity of 20/40 or better and the proportion of eyes with each of 18 complications.
The pooled percentage of eyes (weighted by sample size) with postoperative visual acuity of 20/40 or better was 95.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 95.1% to 95.9%) among eyes without preexisting ocular comorbidity and 89.7% (95% CI, 89.3% to 90.2%) for all eyes. The pooled percentage of eyes experiencing complications (weighted by sample size and, when pertinent, by quality score of the individual studies but not adjusted for variation in duration of follow-up) ranged from 0.13% for endophthalmitis to 19.7% for posterior capsule opacification. Pooled proportions of eyes with other complications were as follows: bullous keratopathy, 0.3%; intraocular lens malposition/dislocation, 1.1%; clinically apparent cystoid macular edema, 1.5%; and retinal detachment, 0.7%. Pooled results for postoperative Snellen visual acuity and most complications were similar for surgery performed via phacoemulsification vs standard extracapsular cataract extraction, although comparisons of the outcomes between these procedures should be interpreted with caution.
The published literature indicates that modern cataract surgery yields excellent visual acuity and, although not free of complications, is a very safe procedure regardless of the extraction technique used.

Africa Quick Facts
The numbers
Land area:12 million sq mi [30 million sq km]
Continent rank:2nd largest (out of 7) [23% of the world's total land area]
Countries:53 [47 nations on the mainland, 6 island nations]
Population:887 million in 2005 [13% world population]
Religion:40% christianity, 40% Islam, 20% African animism
Languages:between 2000 and 3000, varying with experts
The culture
With ethnic groups ranging in the thousands, the African continent is rich in culture which is reflected in part through the arts, music, clothing and of course cuisine. Culture and family values still play an important role in daily aspects of life in rural and urban areas. Oral tradition (songs and folktales) plays a fundamental role in passing customs and traditions to younger generation. Similarly religion plays an important role in the life of many Africans. Today, tradition, religion and western influences all shape and arrange African lives in various ways, especially in urban areas.
The people
It is not totally proper to refer to one person from Africa as an "African" as the term is very vague. Similarly, you would not refer to one Mexican or one Costa Rican as an American (or a North-American). Characteristics vary greatly with the regions and only a few common demeanors are true for all. However, The term "African" can readily be used to refer to a group of persons from Africa (e.g., the African Students' Association). It can be noted that most Africans are multilingual, meaning that they speak two or more different languages. Few can afford to be otherwise, since daily life often brings people into contact with others who speak different languages.
The misconceptions
Negative connotations have long been attached with the word Africa. Early on, many Europeans referred to it as the "Dark continent". The prominent western philosopher Hegel wrote important and influential thesis that stated the inferiority of sub-Saharan Africans while he knew close to nothing about the continent. All this reinforced preconceived ideas and inspired a racism that still exists today. Today coupled with extensive negative media coverage of the region, many are not aware about the real state and beauty that can be found in Africa. While it is true that the continent, land of young new nations, is facing challenges in this new century, Africa has given birth to a wide array of astonishing cultures, dazzling landscape, blooming cities, thriving intellectuals, respected innovators, dominating athletes, praised authors and a young-eager-to-succeed new generation!
Join us throughout the year as we study, learn and celebrate the many faces of our continent!

...because elop doesn't like old skool design so he took old school spec instead, which will be updated this fall; new design with new specs.

Android is a mess for normal people.
My cousin ask me to show him how to make a video call Lol.
I was searching his phone but still not got it so i recommended him skype to make a video call.
Can anyone tell me how to make video call without any 3rd party application on Android......?
Android is good but only with quads and dual cores but has a lag.

I find it hard to believe that comment #16 has more thumbs-up than thumbs-down... especially since it refers to 'dump peoples'... I mean, Android extremists being just as ignorant as iOS extremists... who'd 've guessed!?! I think I'll try to help "equalize" that "situation" there...
22. tluv00 (Posts: 134; Member since: 18 Oct 2007)
Your problem is that Android allows third party apps to remain in their App Store so people have a choice. Apple just buys one, integrates it and then kicks out the competition for competing against them.
Skype is a joke compared to the multiple Apps out there for Video Calling. You not being able to find out how is not Android's fault. It's you being a n00b.

It's not like I hate wp
I am fine with it in fact I like it .
But calling it symbian a burning platform is killing your company .
Killing off meego hampers development
Killing of future version of symbian makes current users unhappy .
His asha's runs a less powerful s40 instead of the full blown s60 and s40 have low specs and a lot less features that s60 .
An asha phone with 1ghz CPU is just plain pointless its powerful enough to run s60 even Symbian belle .
Now let's pray nokia's board of directors sacked him and turn this boat around

57. shadez10 (Posts: 427; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
it will be unbelievable if it will have the basic features of a smartphone even feature phones have it...
like mass storage, bluetooth file transfers and others... if not... it still sucks... the only cool thing is the fluidity of the OS...

B*tch ELOP!.. your so dumb... symbian might be the key to your success again... WP7 isnt mature enough to take on android and iOS...
ELOP SO DUMB~! make me CEO i will take nokia to the top... xD

if you promise to revive meego not just symbian i'll vote for you
19. allen83 (Posts: 107; Member since: 01 Mar 2012)
Wow what a bullsh*t elop is. I wanted a Carla phone not a Windows phone. Now Nokia will not have any other income. Windows OS is not anymore a baby OS it has been for two years already and yet not much has improved. Unlike the Meego Harmattan it is a still born OS but it functions like a mature Symbian. It only means that The Nokia past the Symbian family entrusted their future to the Meego Harmattan and for a very young or still born OS this was the future foreseen in the past. When I bought my N9 I asked Nokia here in the Philippines that which one between N9 and Lumia has good specs. The retailer tolld me that N9 has better specs, the only advantage Lumia has is that it has more applications. Even at Smart they told me tat N9 has good specs than the Lumia line
23. tluv00 (Posts: 134; Member since: 18 Oct 2007)
Planned perfectly. Elop joins Nokia. They adopt Windows Mobile. Force everything else to go away. Devalue the company. MS buys on the cheap.
MS paying 1 billion per year is basically a layaway program for when they take over Nokia in the future. How Elop still has his job is beyond me.

A lowlife he is....
26. reguser (Posts: 2; Member since: 23 May 2012)
This must mean that either has Nokia (Microsoft) found a hidden treasure room with a Windows phone OS that actually is working... with PureView etc... Or they will start to re-develop MeeGo... Or they actually don't give a S.H.I.T about that Symbian is a great OS and the future phones from Nokia will be equiped with a poor OS as iPhone and 'Android phones' has :-(
27. -RVM- (Posts: 331; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
I hope this is not true. Especially because of upcoming launch of 808.
30. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
I wish Elop would burn in hell for what he has done to Symbian and Nokia. Maybe he is a visioneer and knows better, has got some weird plan to rescue Nokia merging it with MS so that they will be competetive again...but killing Symbian...talking about it all the time while Nokia was still selling Symbian Phones and updates were planning....I cannot explain that...
I tried to believe he has good intentions but now...I'm confused..I don't believe Nokia couldn't support developing Symbian and Windows at once. It's impossible given their history, experience, budget and the rest.
34. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
...he announced 808 which is an amazing piece of technology and now he cancelled (presumably) further development for Symbian platform. he shortened lifespan of 808.
And probably he did for one reason. He grabbed as more attention as he could toward the pureview technology and what finns were capable to and promised it would find its place in windows phones in the near future.
He advertised WIndows platform by destroying Symbian utterly.
I don't know..love him or hate? He probably rescued Nokia from perdition but Nokia paid a high price for it. No nokia-system (maybe some geeks are still developing meego and symbian in Nokia's basement below the Elop's radar:}) )
37. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
So many old angry farts! Lolzzz. You geeks need to shut your holes and look towards the future. Things change so deal with it! Stop your annoying whining. Contribute to the cause rather than useless spazzing.

Wow, lubba, you are so awesomely intelligent. Change happens... so true! Even Einstein would agree with you on that one. Yes, so everyone should just stop complaining and accept the FUTURE of mobile... just because it is where everyone else is going to lead you anyway, so why bother fighting it, right? Yeah, just be happy with 'going with the flow', right? And besides, there is no stupid Symbian-killing conspiracy because... c'mon, this is such a kicker it is hilarious... Symbian is STILL AVAILABLE! And will be for at least another FIVE YEARS! Accenture has gauranteed support for FUTURE Symbian devices, and existing ones into that future! So, really, Symbian hasn't gone anywhere. Symbian never died. No one killed Symbian, plain and simple, thus no conspiracy.
So, to all of you who are 'whining', just remember that Symbian is still available, and still being developed in new versions and supported into the long-term future by Accenture. Now... to get your new Symbian device, you cannot look to Nokia. You may say, "Now wait a minute... so if not Nokia, then where?", but I assure you I do have the answer. Yes, it is as simple as being willing (and able) to cough up enough cash to buy a Vertu handset!
Hey, I said it was still available... I never said it was still easy to get one... especially for a common 'conspiracy-theory-BS geek-nerd retard' like me...
Right, lubba?
81. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
Symbian will be around for awhile, though it will fade slowly as to get people accustomed to WP or anything else. I've had my share of Symbian. Nothing wrong with but these people making these BS conspiracy theories of MS this and Nokia that just unfounded.

If you ate a Doritos Locos Taco in 2012, you may have helped the economy by creating a job at the fast food chain.
Call it crazy, but Taco Bell reports the success of its innovative Doritos Locos Taco — its biggest launch yet — led to the creation of 15,000 jobs to keep up with demand for the new item.
That would mean it sold more than 1 million of the tacos a day, even amidst allegations the company used processed meat not fit to be considered actual beef.
The 170-calorie junk food snack consists of a Taco Bell taco housed in a shell made from nacho cheese Doritos. The success of the Frito-Lay collaboration delayed the launch of its successor, Cool Ranch, which debuted March 7. That taco, of course, is placed in a shell made with Cool Ranch Doritos, the second most popular Doritos flavor.
Taco Bell is part of Yum! Brands, Inc., along with KFC and Pizza Hut. As one of the world's largest restaurant companies, it has more than 39,000 locations in 125 countries.

Victory State Bank Points to Tips for Buying a New Car
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Buying or leasing a car can be an overwhelming process for first time or inexperienced shoppers. To help you make your purchase as efficient as possible, Victory State Bank recommends the following tips provided by the Federal Trade Commission:
- Check out different vehicles. Do your research first and compare vehicles. You can go to the website of every car manufacturer and review every model of car available. In fact, most manufacturer sites will even let you use drop down menus to "build" an electronic version of your dream car. Then, when you decide which model, colors, and accessories you want, you can hit the locate dealer button and find the closest showroom that has your car.
- Research the dealer's price for the car and options. It's easier to get the best price when you know what the dealer paid for a vehicle. The dealer invoice price is available at a number of websites and in printed pricing guides. Consumer Reportsprovides the wholesale price; this figure factors in dealer incentives from a manufacturer and is a more accurate estimate of what a dealer is paying for a vehicle.
- Special Discounts. Determine if you qualify for special discounts or rebates for military personnel, students or other qualifying groups.
- Negotiate. Negotiate up from the invoice price instead of down from the inflated price to get a good deal.
- Find out if the manufacturer is offering rebates that will lower the cost. Two websites that offer this information are Carsdirect.comAutopedia.com.
- Get price quotes from several dealers. Find out if the amounts quoted are the prices before or after rebates are deducted.
- Avoid low-value extrasextended warranties, rust proofing and upholstery finishes. You do not have to purchase credit insurance in order to get a loan.
- Hybrid-electric carsfuel economy, increased power, or additional auxiliary power.

Please download all the movies here!
It's so strange that you wanna download porn movies of a girl which you don't even know. But what makes you want to download all that stuff? Is it her boobs, or her pussy? Well, I have to admit, both parts are really nice.. I doubt you can find something like that somewhere else.. But hey.. Don't you think you could simply start downloading all the movies of Tsubasa Amami on the site of AsiaMoviePass? That's where you should have gone in the first place, IMHO.. So please, fix your mistake, go there directly!
