so ithing came 3rd lol. but wait for SGS III and then we `ll see who is the boss here

"but wait for.. xx", when are sheeps like you going to learn?
4. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Title shoulda read "photo test: lumia 900 has best Colorado saturation".
The screen isn't up to snuff to win a real screen test. Once you pull up text that's painfully obvious.
9. c.hack (Posts: 609; Member since: 09 Dec 2009)
So true. Crank of the Nokia's saturation to make it look like a cartoon. What a joke.
18. Obviously (Posts: 29; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
Completely agree... "most pleasant colors"? I like real tests better then make believe...
19. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Thumbed down because I thought of a more relevant title? I'm not bashing or trolling. Its like a question on a college assessment test "read the paragraph then choose the title that better fits theme of it." Some people take this way too seriously.
26. eaxvac (Posts: 328; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
thumbed down because of fanboyism.
36. GellerDoesDallas (Posts: 50; Member since: 26 Mar 2012)
Lol!!! You calling somebody else a fanboy. That's a joke.

nokia ftw~!!
6. annonymous1 (Posts: 15; Member since: 16 Dec 2011)
seriously, you couldnt wait for the galaxy s3 or razr hd to come out before you did this?
25. eaxvac (Posts: 328; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
now couldn't I say, why not wait for 2020 before doing the test again? "i admit the fact that I'm sad and jealous because samsuck isn't there"
51. Johnny_Mnemonic (Posts: 240; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Like always iPhone last place jaja
34. djg71087 (Posts: 70; Member since: 10 Oct 2010)
Well if your always waiting around to compare the greats in the phone industry, your always going to be waiting. Their is always something bigger, better, faster that's going to come out. Why not compare the current top of there domains.
7. c.hack (Posts: 609; Member since: 09 Dec 2009)
How is this a real test if they crank up the saturation on the Lumia and then say the Lumia wins because it has the best saturation?
This "test" is a joke and so are the editors obviously.
12. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Woa woa woa so for a change the joke ifanboy Victor H is reporting something not favoring the iPhone? SHOKER /S
Its quite simple pal. As said before retina means nothing but high resolution on a small display. While other's have included new technology in the screens you are playing with a tech that's over a year old .of course it got beaten.
Even when I agree looks on a display changes with perspective I must also say screen technology on those devices is much more improved .

I didn't realize I could adjust the saturation level on my Windows Phone. Thank you for that tip c.hack.
Oh wait. I can't. So they just compared stock phones. Oh well.
10. robinrisk (unregistered)
Ohh come on! Put it against the galaxy nexus and then we'll talk. Saturation, contrast and high pixel density. its the best ccreen in the world so far. not some LCD screen.
13. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
The screen of the one X is not pen tile
24. robinrisk (unregistered)
at a PPI of 300+ you can NOT see individual pixels. Hell, unless i relly try hard i cant evens ee the pixels on my SGS1.
Pentile or RGB, you can not see the difference, 720P vs WVGA, you CAN see the difference.
29. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
What I mean is that this is a non pen tile device test
30. robinrisk (unregistered)
Oh, in that case you're right.
Though the Galaxy S II's screen should be better. Amoled VS LCD amoled wins.
31. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
I had a sgs1 a couple yrs back. The pixels were actually quite easy to see. I sampled sprints galaxy nexus an hour ago and yes the pixels are visible if you try. I actually prefer my sgs2's WVGA screen over the 720p display on the nexus because of that.
11. PhansMuneeb (Posts: 371; Member since: 28 Jan 2012)
All isheeps and Android bulls are crying on road....ha ha
CBD is Great than Retina and SL2.
15. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Well amoled is one of the best tech out there
17. rd_nest (Posts: 1593; Member since: 06 Jun 2010)
And Nokia pays which company for this product? Yea, everyone knows it's a CBD. Essentially it's just a Super AMOLED with another polarizing layer. Are you telling me that Nokia will teach Samsung how to make screens? That Nokia screen pukes infront of a Galaxy Nexus screen. Things will only get better with SGS3.
14. droiddomination (Posts: 203; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
the nokias screen is simply the most well rounded and brilliant screen out right now. my eyes dont' looks at statistics. they look at screens. i went to atts store, tried EVERY single phone on different websites, and tried different wall papers...the nokia lumia 900 blew them all away...only real competition was from the Galaxy note. That was a close second in my opinion..but also is 5 inches..so maybe a tie? to bad the the battery life and app selection sucks on the lumia 900 or i would have kept it..i really liked that screen and nokia maps was very nice as well as the phone radio. build quality was also questionable, the mini sim holder is very flimsy and pokes out and also the camera on the back get scratched very easily.
16. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
Both lumia and one x looks gorgeous.
20. theoak (Posts: 324; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
iPhone 4 is going on 2 years now. It is about time that something caught up to it.
Like it or not, Apple did a good job on the "Retina" display for the iPhone.
22. eaxvac (Posts: 328; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
You guys are a bunch of idiots, AMOLED isn't necessarily samsung.
27. adamross55 (Posts: 15; Member since: 23 Apr 2012)
This is complete BS. The Lumia's screen isnt even qHD and the colors are extremely over saturated. Your comparing a phone that has 217 PPI against a phone with 326 PPI (iPhone) and a phone with 312 PPI (One X) Why is this website so skewed with its reviews and articles?
28. asingha94 (Posts: 295; Member since: 08 Apr 2012)
android fanboys are so sick!!!why r u guys so blind!!!lumia screen looks so gr8!!
32. r41nier (Posts: 70; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
iPhone - undersaturated colors
HTC One X -almost correct colors
Nokia Lumia 900 - oversaturated colors
33. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
He could've used any AMOLED (Galaxy S 1, for example) screen and get to the same conclusion - they have the most saturated colors.
The AH-IPS used in One X has scientifically measured data to back it up - several times more accurate colors than SAMOLED:
37. peacekeeper05 (Posts: 33; Member since: 23 Apr 2012)
You've got to be kidding me. when did color saturation became the only measure of who will win a screen test? It is only natural that amoled screen will have the most saturated colors. If you are going to compare Color Saturation only then use an android phone that has an Amoled screen like the Galaxy Nexus or the GS2.
40. eaxvac (Posts: 328; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
because you are a s-sheep.

38. xfire99 (Posts: 828; Member since: 14 Mar 2012)
Bad headline. HTC One X is not whole Android. Should be iphone 4S vs HTC One X vs Lumia 900. One phone dont stand for whole OS ecosystem.
39. peacekeeper05 (Posts: 33; Member since: 23 Apr 2012)
Oversaturated colors= fake, unreal colors=Amoled.
The most stupid article on phonearena yet :)
41. eaxvac (Posts: 328; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
the most stupid commenter here
43. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
I heard that if some IFANS are taunted of their I-thingies there bloodpresure rizes and they get really really really angry for that no matter what
44. ron1niro (Posts: 54; Member since: 28 Mar 2012)
The picture that looks good to the eye is the nokia lumia 900. What is the point in having an hd screen, retina display, dual core, quad core, all these mean nothing. The test has proven that it's not about numbers or cores, it's about the final product and the user experience. I don't mind if a phone has a 200mhz processor, as long as it doesn't lag. I wouldn't buy a phone if it has 20 cores and yet it lags!
45. Penny (Posts: 1648; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Let me preface this by saying I'm a WP7 fan.
This test was not designed to measure any objective category, such as highest resolution or most accurate colors (in which case, the Lumia 900 would certainly lose out). As they stated in the article, they were simply looking for the phone that gave them the most PLEASANT viewing experience. This is clearly a subjective matter, but one that is realistic because the viewing experience is what all that screen technology boils down to in the end.
Anyway, try not to discount the screen on the Lumia 900 just because of its standard resolution, or because you are a fan of another platform. This is especially true if you are saying that other screens are superior because they are AMOLED; the Lumia 900 uses an AMOLED screen with Nokia's Clear Black Display (CBD) technology on top of it, which reduces the reflectance. In essence, it is a saturated AMOLED screen that has less reflection issues and therefore looks better in most viewing situations.

The Lumia !!!
47. 10aera (Posts: 34; Member since: 02 Mar 2011)
In videos and images like the ones in this article is when I really notice that the iphone's design looks so outdated... look at the huge space in the casing up and below the screen... it is just huge... and the screen looks so tiny in relation to the htc flagship... it is like some years ago when everybody was holding a nokia n95 and the first iphone was announced... it looks simply wrong and out of fashion... or is it just me??
52. Johnny_Mnemonic (Posts: 240; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
I agree lumia worst design ever

Q:Trying to create elegant backdrop for behind the bridal party table. Daughter is using PVC pipes for drape frame & Christmas lights with green/white cords & white lights. Crushed taffeta burgundy panels pulled together every other 4' for 2nd layer in front. Don't want to see cording behind them or pipes, just lights. Venue has pictures/doorway behind them we are covering. Is ivory or white gossamer or shimmeara the fabric to go with if dealing with these roadblocks? Area covering is 30' x 8' tall. Colors are burgundy and ivory. Early evening wedding. Won't white lights turn white fabric more ivory? Have ivory tulle for another layer. Also looking to create lighted canopy with same lights & 5 - 60" strips for a 50' x 50' open sided outdoor covered wedding site in winter. Center will be pulled up on rafters with chandelier. Do we need to worry about moisture/frost with the gossamer sagging if it should be decorated 24 hrs before the wedding? Or would you recommend shimmeara there too?

A:Please contact our customer service department Mon-Fri 8:30-8:00pm EST at 800-314-8794.
Q:I want.to hang shimmera from the ceiling or top of colomns to hide square columns for my daughters wedding, how would I do that without causing damage to the reception property
1 answer
A:You first should check with the venue to see what they allow. Perhaps you could make a seam in one end of the fabric and run a cord or elastic through the seam and tie the fabric to the column.
Q:I am looking to hang this from a ceiling for a wedding reception to hide the blue walls at the hall. Will this be to sheer to hide the blue walls ?????
1 answer
A:Shimmera is not a sheer material. It should be dense enough to cover a solid surface. You may request a free fabric swatch by calling Customer Service at 1-800-227-2789.

Urban Growth Boundary and Housing Prices: The Case of Knox County, Tennessee
This study tests the hypothesis that a higher present value of expected rental stream of undeveloped land in the urban growth area influences the effect of the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) on the values of newly developed houses in Knoxville and Knox County, Tennessee. We estimate a version of the Box-Cox (BC) transformed hedonic housing price model, which accommodates both non-normality and heteroskedasticity in the stochastic error term. The finding of this study verifies the premise that the values of newly developed houses after the implementation of a UGB are likely to be higher within the urban growth area than those outside, all other things equal.

Comments: "We know that the Left is suicidal."
There are people who are incompetent in their field of activity but who yet manage to wheedle their way into positions of authority. Typically those people screw up - which is no surprise - but instead of going quietly into the night they will then do their damnedest to bring the whole show down in order to hide their failure (from themselves as well as from others). This is my view of The Left.
Posted by Brett_McS at December 2, 2012 12:42 PM
If "suicide" is what they are after, may we suggest that they go about this sooner, rather than later? MUCH sooner is preferrable.
They want to depopulate the Earth of the scourge of Man? They can go first. Please. Do they want their poison in Kool-Ade, Jell-o, or white wine? We'll give them choices. They can even wear special "death clothes" (made of biodegradable substances of course). To make the cycle complete, we can then feed their bodies to the pigs and coyotes.

Hello all,
I'm having a problem with DataGirdView.
I am using a BindingSource object to bind that DataTable object to the DataGridView and I get the following exception thrown on the line I set the DataGirdView.DataSource = BindingSource object:-
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.\r\nParameter name: index"} System.Exception {System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException}
Heres the code:-
source =
source.DataSource = dset.Tables[0];
resultsGrid.DataSource = source;
I am at a loss as to why this is happening as the the DataSet contains 1 table and the Table contains 1 row.
After it throws the exception the app binds the table to DataGridView as expected
Does anyone know why this would be happening ??
Answer 1
Answer 2
Hi Dragoslav,
The thing is that BindingSource actually works. The only issue is that it thorws this exceptions before it binds the data.
I am trying to figure out why this is throwing this exception for seemingly no reason.
Also I am unsure of how to use a Binding object. I've tried the following but its not working. Do you know what params I should be passing ??
Answer 3
Answer 4
Yes AutoGenerateColumns is set to true, and I did not create columns in Form Designer
Answer 5
Answer 6
You can insert break point to debug. To find out which statement throw exception.
Maybe nothing to do with the BindingSource and dataGridView.
Hope helpful.
Answer 7
I just ended up removing MessageBox.Show(ex.Message) from the catch block. Like I said it works fine it just thorws this exception for some reason or another.
Not very professional I know but sure...... it works
Answer 8
Answer 9
Have you figured out why it threw this exception? I got exactly the same problem.
Answer 10
I had a similar issue where I was getting the following error whenever I tried changing the datasource on a DataGridView:
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index
at System.Collections.ArrayList.get_Item(Int32 index)
at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewColumnCollection.get_Item(Int32 index)
at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView.PositionEditingControl(Boolean setLocation, Boolean setSize, Boolean setFocus)
at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView.PerformLayoutPrivate(Boolean useRowShortcut, Boolean computeVisibleRows, Boolean invalidInAdjustFillingColumns, Boolean repositionEditingControl)
at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView.ResetUIState(Boolean useRowShortcut, Boolean computeVisibleRows)
at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowCollection.OnCollectionChanged_PreNotification(CollectionChangeAction cca, Int32 rowIndex, Int32 rowCount, DataGridViewRow& dataGridViewRow, Boolean changeIsInsertion)
at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowCollection.OnCollectionChanged(CollectionChangeEventArgs e, Int32 rowIndex, Int32 rowCount, Boolean changeIsDeletion, Boolean changeIsInsertion, Boolean recreateNewRow, Point newCurrentCell)
at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowCollection.ClearInternal(Boolean recreateNewRow)
at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView.RefreshColumnsAndRows()
at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView.OnDataSourceChanged(EventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView.set_DataSource(Object value)
at OQADataImport.frmMain.<bsSelectedItem_DataSourceChanged>b__1c(Object o) in D:\SVN_Support\Code\OQM Projects\OQADataImport\OQADataImport\frmMain.cs:line 611
The solution we found was to make sure that the DataGridView was not in Edit mode when you are changing the datasource. The new code we use to update the datasource is:
dgvResults.EndEdit();dgvResults.DataSource = <New DataView>;
With this code the above error went away!

While first place has eluded the Washington Nationals this season, the majority of their farm teams are doing quite well. The Low-A Hagerstown Suns (44-34), High-A Potomac Nationals (48-29) and Double-A Harrisburg Senators (44-37) are all in first place in their respective divisions.

A New Hampshire school is scheduled to open for its first day after a mold problem forced a delay.
The Winnisquam Regional Middle School in Tilton is expected to open Thursday, after air quality tests came back in the normal range.
Officials said the hot, muggy, rainy summer led to the mold growth at the school. The building was professionally cleaned.
The students will be making up at least three of the five days that delayed the start of school.

A 22-year-old woman who was previously healthy came to us with a self-palpable left upper quadrant abdominal mass that she had for 6 months. She was otherwise totally asymptomatic. Physical examination revealed a 6-cm nontender mass in the left hypochondrium. Blood test results including complete blood cell counts, renal and liver functions, amylase level, carcinoembryonic antigen level, and α-fetoprotein level were all normal. Plain abdominal radiography revealed a calcified mass lesion. Contrast computed tomography of the abdomen was subsequently performed, and it showed a pancreatic tail lesion (Figure 1). Incidentally, another 5-cm lesion was noted at the right lobe of the liver. A whole-body positron emission tomographic scan was performed, and it showed hypermetabolic, heterogeneously enhancing masses at both the pancreatic tail and the right lobe of the liver. No other hypermetabolic lesion was noted in the rest of the body. Our provisional diagnosis at that juncture was a malignant pancreatic neoplasm with liver metastasis. Distal pancreatectomy and right hepatectomy were performed with curative intent. At laparotomy, a 12-cm cystic tumor was noted at the tail of the pancreas near the splenic hilum (Figure 2) and a 6-cm solitary metastatic tumor at segment 7/8 of the liver was found.
A computed tomographic scan of the abdomen showed a calcified lesion situated between the splenic hilum, the posterior aspect of the stomach, and the pancreatic tail.
An intraoperative photograph shows a cystic tumor at the tail of the pancreas near the splenic hilum.
A. Ductal adenocarcinoma of pancreas with liver metastasis
B. Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of pancreas with liver metastasis
C. Solid pseudopapillary carcinoma of pancreas with liver metastasis
D. Hydatid disease of liver and pancreas

On Halloween 2015, we opened our Dessert & Ice Cream Shop at 2020 Lawrence Street in Denver. Please see our Dessert Shop page for more information and hours.
"I have been LUCKY enough to have attended TWO events catered by The Inventing Room in the last month. Not only is his food BETTER then you will find at most 5 star restaurants, it is WAY more fun. As with the other reviews his liquid nitrogen inventions are insanely good but EVERYTHING I have had from Ian and team has been amazing, including the peas/carrots side dish!
It is very hard to pick a very favorite but if I had to I would say it is a tie between the crunchy shell chicken tacos (way cooler then it sounds) and his amazing little crab cakes.
I have been blown away about the flavors The Inventing Room can get in one little bit of food...and you will too. I will definitely use them for the next event that I have!"
Tate S. Yelp Review
"For my fancy pants birthday, I hired the great folks at the Inventing Room to create a 5 star meal based on my favorite foods growing up. Ian and his team took the remnants of my childhood and turned them into a incredibly complex, delicious and fascinating menu that wowed everyone.
Favorites include Trout Stuffed Mushrooms, the Sous Vis Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin, and the Nib Space Foam that makes your mouth breath smoke.
Not only was the food delicious but the showmanship took it to 11. Do yourself a favor and hire them for your next event."

Photo of the Week: Can You Guess the Celebrity?
Last week we set you the challenge of identifying a celebrity from a childhood picture, and this week we're doing it again.
This one, we think, is a little easier than last week's pesky challenge. In fact, when you find out who this is you'll probably cup your face in your hands and weep an ocean of tears at the obviousness of it all, before learning the contents of Celebrity Childhood Photos: 2010 Edition by heart to avoid future embarrassment.
But we don't want that to happen. So here are a few clues:
- this person is a Hollywood star
- this person is best known by his middle name
- the first rule of these clues is that we do not talk about the clues
Do feel free to ask questions of us, which we'll answer in the comments. Although keep them to 'yes/no' questions - we can't give the game away too easily.
Good luck!

Happy Mother's Day: The Poetry Contest
Once a year we pay attention to the moms of this world, motherhood and maternal bonds and this time we want to mark the day with something special; A poetry contest! It is a special day that has been celebrated for hundreds of years, illustrating how many people feel that motherhood is something to honored. As a child I once asked my mother why we didn't have a children's day and she replied 'every day is children's day', and so it is.
Even if the Mother's day isn't celebrated on the same day everywhere, the idea is the same across the world: mothers deserve special attention once in a while. As expected practices of mother day differ around the world. In Mexico, for example, the mother is treated to a song sung by her family, or a serenade by a hired band, in Ethiopia, mothers day is a three day festival where everyone returns to their villages for family meal, while in Sweden attention is paid to poor mothers and their children through way of the the Swedish Red Cross sells selling small plastic flowers and the United Kingdom. It is customary to serve Simnel Cake, a glazed fruitcake inspired by a folk tale.

XML Schema: regular expression challenge
To: xml-dev@-----.---.---
Date: 8/9/2000 7:14:00 AM
Hi Folks, I am trying to write an XML schema which declares an element, foo, to be a string, 5-10 characters in length, OR empty. For example, here are valid instances of foo: <foo>HiThere</foo> or <foo></foo> Here's my attempt at a declaration for foo: <element name="foo"> <simpleType base="string"> <pattern value="([a-z]|[A-Z]){5,10}|()"/> </simpleType> </element> In an instance document when I set the content of foo to be empty: <foo></foo> Oracle's schema processor gives me an error. That either means that (a) Oracle's schema processor has a bug, or (b) My regular expression is not correct. Let's assume that it is the later. Any suggestions on how else to express the regular expression? Note that the following regular expressions also failed: ([a-z]|[A-Z]){5,10}|(){0} ([a-z]|[A-Z]){5,10}|(.){0} As an aside, if an element contains a string of length=0, is that element "empty"? and thus the element can be expressed as <foo/>? /Roger

These workers succeeded in producing a superinfection in a case of paresis, by inoculating spirochete material from the testicular syphilitic lesion of a rabbit. This superinfection ran a course without symptoms—a chancre immunity; the superinfection was proved to exist by the successful inoculation of extirpated inguinal nodes into a mouse and thence into a rabbit. Such a symptomless superinfection in syphilitic men had already been demonstrated by Kolle and his colleagues in experimentally infected rabbits. Such experiments would seem to indicate that the immunity of the syphilitic individual, even as in animals, is only an apparent immunity, a chancre immunity,

Most everyone in business uses the term "cash cow" to describe a product or service that creates positive cash flow for the organization. Those same people don't often understand what the phrase means, and more importantly, how to apply it to their particular situation.
Decades ago, the Boston Consulting Group created a product-evaluation system to assess the viability of products that a business markets. In addition to "cash cow" there are three other terms used: question marks, stars and dogs.
The same type of process can be used to categorize and determine how people are contributing to an organization.
Most owners agree that in a work environment, some people are worth more to the company.
Some people are not worth as much, and as such, are paid less. Tom Peters, the author of "In Search of Excellence," once commented that "some people are worth more money and other people are worth a lot more money."
How does an owner categorize those who work for them without spending too much time yet be effective? Categorize employees according to productivity and potential using a system of question marks, understudy, paperweights or ATM.
Question marks are either a new employee or an employee who is unsure of his or her role in the company.
A new employee starts off as a question mark because they have been hired to fill a need, a desire for the company to take care of a task, an opportunity or a challenge. The cost of a new hire without experience or expertise is high. Even with years of experience elsewhere, it may be months before the person contributes to the profitability of the company.
In the meantime, the new employee is taking a salary, has added to overhead expenses and usually has other expenses the company must bear while the employee learns and starts to execute their job responsibilities and goals.
Longer-tenured employees may also be categorized as a question mark because the contribution they make to the company is unclear. That a long-term employee is in this category says something about the management.
"Question mark" is an appropriate moniker because the owner has to continually think hard about whether they want to continue to invest resources on a person who may or may not be capable of turning things around to make a contribution.
If a question-mark employee becomes successful, they can move to the category of understudy. An understudy is still a cost, but becomes ready to jump in when needed, although not always at the same level as a more seasoned and experienced contributor.
Yes, the understudy knows his or her lines, dresses the part and is available. But like the utility infielder on a baseball team, they don't play everyday.
They do have potential and represent the future of the business, but must be coached, mentored and guided to achieve their highest level of contribution.
The paperweight category refers to an employee who has limited uses and not much opportunity. What can be done with a paperweight?
Every company has paperweight employees. But without coaching and opportunity to transform this employee into something more, there isn't much of a future for this category of employee.
An ATM is seen as a place where money is disbursed. Those same machines are profit centers for the banking industry and for the places where an ATM is located.
Every ATM needs constant replenishing of cash to do its job well. So does this type of employee.
ATM employees produce a lot of cash for the company. While it is easy to assign the top salesperson to this category, there are likely others who qualify for this category, including those in production, purchasing and distribution.
However, too many businesses have just a limited number of ATM employees, which makes the business highly vulnerable to loss or lack of service.
In other words, if an ATM employee is not well-maintained and treated well, they are likely to move to the competition.
Observational research suggests the total cost of a having a full-time employee on the payroll starts at $80,000 a year.
What would the impact be on profits if a single employee categorized as an understudy was coached into becoming an ATM? What would it mean if a question mark made the transition to understudy in less time?
A simple evaluation of employees is well worth the time it takes to perform this categorization.

The Good Man of Nankingby John Rabe
The Good Man of Nanking is a crucial document for understanding one of World War II's most horrific incidents of genocide, one which the Japanese have steadfastly refused to acknowledge. It is also the moving and awe-inspiring record of one man's conscience, courage, and generosity in the face of appalling human brutality.Until the recent emergence of John Rabe's diaries, few people knew abouth the unassuming hero who has been called the Oskar Schindler of China. In Novemgber 1937, as Japanese troops overran the Chinese capital of Nanking and began a campaign of torture, rape, and murder against its citizens, one man-a German who had lived in China for thirty years and who was a loyal follower of Adolph Hitler-put himself at risk and in order to save the lives of 200,000 poor Chinese, 600 of whom he sheltered in his own home.From the Trade Paperback edition.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – For the first time since 2011, Grady Sizemore has a big league contract. Now all he needs is for his big league body to stay in one piece.
Boston and Sizemore agreed on Wednesday to a one-year $750,000 major league deal. If Sizemore can stay healthy and somehow rediscover the game that made him only the second 30-30 man in Indians history, he could earn another $5.25 million in incentives.
To do that, he'd have to be the Red Sox's every day center fielder. The defending World Series champions would like nothing better because they lost their center fielder, Jacoby Ellsbury, to free agency and the Yankees.
Just last week, it sounded as if Sizemore would sign with Cincinnati. The Reds need a center fielder to replace Shin-Soo Choo, another former Indian recently made rich beyond his wildest dreams by the Texas Rangers.
One reason Sizemore picked the Red Sox was because of their strong Cleveland connection. Vice President Mike Hazen, manager John Farrell, bench coach Torey Lovullo and trainer Rick Jameyson were all with the Indians organization during Sizemore's career.
Right now, Jackie Bradley is scheduled to be Boston's opening day center fielder.
Sizemore has been working toward this since his career unraveled with a seemingly never-ending series of surgeries, starting in 2009 with the Indians. He did not play in 2012 or 2013, following microfracture surgery on both knees.
In his first four full seasons with the Indians (2005 through 2008), Sizemore looked indestructible. He hit home runs, stole bases, crashed into outfield walls and ran hard whenever he made contact.
The only thing Sizemore couldn't do was throw, but he went to three All-Star games, won two Gold Gloves and a Silver Slugger award.
Sizemore's best year came in 2008 when he hit .268 with 39 doubles, 33 homers, 90 RBI and 38 steals. Sizemore and Joe Carter are the only Indians to go 30-30 (30 homers, 30 steals) in one season.
The night Sizemore reached 30-30, he was asked if he could go 40-40.
"Why not?" said Sizemore.
He didn't make it that year and his body gave out after that. His surgeries included two for a sports hernia, one on his left elbow, one for a herniated disk in his back and three on his knees.
Can he make it back? Sizemore is still only 31, but the odds are against him. The good thing is he's made it this far, but no way will that be enough for Sizemore.

One of the Benghazi whistle blowers said he's being "punished" for speaking out about the Obama administration's response the night of the attack.
Gregory Hicks was the deputy chief of mission in Libya. He testified before Congress about the Benghazi attack earlier this year, saying that at least two of the American lives lost could have been saved if the United States had responded in time.
"I don't know exactly what was available. I still don't quite understand why they couldn't fly aircraft over to Benghazi," Hicks said. "When I was a kid I grew up watching Western movies and you know the calvary always came. I just thought that they would come."
Now Hicks claims the State Department is punishing him for speaking out. He said he hasn't been reassigned to a post since being called back from Libya.
"I don't know why I was shunted aside, put in a closet, if you will," Hicks told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos.
The State Department denied the accusations and said it's working on reassigning him.
"The State Department has not punished Mr. Hicks in any way," spokesman Alec Gerlach said. "We appreciate his exemplary service on the evening of September 11 and his long career as a member of the Foreign Service."
"Because he has alleged mistreatment, we will state generally that the circumstances that led to his departure from Libya was entirely unrelated to any statements he may have made relating to the attack in Benghazi," Gerlach said.

Javi Martinez is probably, more-likely-than-not, coming to Munich early next week. With all the reports and counter-reports, I'll try to sort you out.
SSV Jahn Regensburg and FC Bayern Muenchen are the last two teams to match up in this first round of DFB-Pokal matches. There have been a surprising amount of upsets thus far: Newly promoted Bundesliga squad (and Bayern's opening opponents next weekend) SpVgg Greuther Fuerth were taken down 2-0 by third-division Kickers Offenbach. Thomas Rathgeber (28th min., penalty) and Lars Bender (90+ min, and no, not that one) completed the scoring for OFC.
If this DFB Super-Pokal (or DFL-Supercup) were comprised of the opponents it's supposed to have, Dortmund would be playing themselves. Alas, Bayern Munich were the Bundesliga (and everything else) runners-up last season, so it's time, once again, to trot out this new / old rivalry. Last time Bayern featured in this match, in 2010, they beat Schalke 2-0. And the last time the Bavarians met up with Borussia Dortmund here in 2008, they lost 2-1.
Sadly, this is the last year that this cup will be called the "LIGA total!". Sky Deutschland AG outbid Deutsche Telekom in June for the broadcast rights. Stock up on those white / infrared away kits while you can, as we won't see the pretty T-com pink again!
With two friendlies in two days, the upcoming LIGA total! cup this weekend and an injury to another defender, I figured it was high time for my summer break to be over. So, I've dusted off the trusty laptop, unlocked my footie lexicon and gave my fingers a little stretch. I'm back for another season of Bayern Munich!

One person escaped an Oklahoma City house fire Wednesday morning, firefighters said.
The blaze began in the 2800 block of Southwest 56th about 9:15 a.m., according to crews.
The resident was able to escape the fire without injury, authorities said.
Authorities said the fire started in a back bedroom where oxygen tanks were stored. They said a bad heater may have sparked the fire, which did significant damage to the front of the home.
Several crews responded and were able to get the fire extinguished quickly, firefighters said.

Chapter 1
Introduction to Educational Research
The purpose of Chapter One is to provide an overview of educational research and introduce you to some important terms and concepts. My discussion in this set of lectures will usually center around the same headings that are used in the book chapters. You might want to have your book open as you read through my lectures. My goal is to help you to better understand the material in the book.
Why Study Educational Research?
Here are a few reasons to take this course and learn about educational research:
Areas of Educational Research
There are many areas in educational research. As you can see in Table 1.1 (reproduced here for your convenience), there are 10 major divisions in our largest Association and there are many special interest groups (SIGs). Do you see any areas that are of interest to you?
To learn more about the areas of educational research and current issues, we recommend that you explore the AERA website at http://aera.net . By the way, The AERA has great student membership rates.
Examples of Educational Research
Many examples of educational research are discussed
throughout your textbook. To get you started, we have reproduced the abstracts
from four journal articles in this section of the book.
An excellent way to see examples of recent educational research articles is to browse through educational journals. One excellent journal to get you started is entitled the "Journal of Educational Psychology."
General Kinds of Research
In this section we discuss five general kinds of research: basic research, applied research, evaluation research, action research, and orientational research.
Basic and Applied Research
Basic research is research aimed at generating fundamental knowledge and theoretical understanding about basic human and other natural processes. Applied research is focused on answering practical questions to provide relatively immediate solutions.
Basic and applied research can be viewed as two endpoints on a research continuum, with the center representing the idea that research can be applied research can contribute to basic research and vice versa. Here is the continuum:
Research examining the process of cognitive "priming" is an example of relatively basic research; a comparison of the effectiveness of two approaches to counseling is an example of relatively applied research.
Basic and applied research are generally conducted by researchers at universities.
Evaluation Research
Evaluation involves determining the worth, merit, or quality of an evaluation object.
Evaluation is traditionally classified according to its purpose:
A newer and currently popular way to classify evaluation is to divide it into five types:
Evaluation is generally done by program evaluators and is focused on specific programs or products.
Action Research
Action research focuses on solving practitioner's local problems. It is generally conducted by the practitioners after they have learned about the methods of research and research concepts that are discussed in your textbook. It is important to understand that action research is also a state of mind; for example, teachers who are action researchers are constantly observing their students for patterns and thinking about ways to improve instruction, classroom management, and so forth. We hope you get this "state of mind" as you read our textbook!
Orientational Research
Orientational research is done for the purpose of advancing an ideological position. It is traditionally called critical theory. We use the broader term orientational research because critical theory was originally concerned only with class inequalities and was based on the Karl Marx's theory of economics, society, and revolution.
Orientational research is focused on some form of inequality, discrimination, or stratification in society. Some areas in which inequality manifests itself are large differences in income, wealth, access to high quality education, power, and occupation. Here are some major areas of interest to orientational researchers:
· Class stratification (i.e., inequality resulting from one's economic class in society).
· Gender stratification (i.e., inequality resulting from one's gender).
· Ethnic and racial stratification (i.e., inequality resulting from one's ethnic or racial grouping).
· Sexual orientation stratification (i.e., inequality and discrimination based on one's sexual preferences)
Many orientational researchers work for universities or interest group organizations.
Sources of Knowledge
In this section we discuss how people learn about the world
around them and gain knowledge. The major ways we learn can be classified into
experience, expert opinion, and reasoning.
The idea here is that knowledge comes from experience.
Historically, this view was called empiricism (i.e., original
knowledge comes from experience).
The term empirical means "based on observation,
experiment, or experience."
Expert Opinion
Because we don't want to and don't have time to conduct research on everything, people frequently rely on expert opinion as they learn about the world. Note, however, that if you rely on an expert's opinion it is important to make sure that the expert is an expert in the specific area under discussion and you should check to see if the expert has a vested interest in the issue.
Historically, this idea was called rationalism (i.e., original knowledge comes from thought and reasoning).
There are two main forms of reasoning:
The Scientific Approach to Knowledge Generation
Science is also an approach for the generation of knowledge. It relies on a mixture of empiricism (i.e., the collection of data) and rationalism (i.e., the use of reasoning and theory construction and testing).
Dynamics of science.
Science has many distinguishing characteristics:
Basic Assumptions of Science
In order to do science, we usually make several assumptions. Here they are as summarized in Table 1.3.
Scientific Methods
There are many scientific methods. The two major methods are the inductive method and the deductive method.
1. State the hypothesis (based on theory or research literature).
2. Collect data to test the hypothesis.
3. Make decision to accept or reject the hypothesis.
· The inductive method. This approach also involves three steps:
1. Observe the world.
2. Search for a pattern in what is observed.
3. Make a generalization about what is occurring.
Virtually any application of science includes the use of both the deductive and the inductive approaches to the scientific method either in a single study or over time. This idea is demonstrated in Figure 1.1. The inductive method is as "bottom up" method that is especially useful for generating theories and hypotheses; the deductive method is a "top down" method that is especially useful for testing theories and hypotheses.
The word "theory" most simply means "explanation." Theories explain "How" and "Why" something operates as it does. Some theories are highly developed and encompass a large terrain (i.e., "big" theories or "grand" theories); others theories are "smaller" theories or briefer explanations.
We have summarized the key criteria to use in evaluating a theory in Table 1.4 and reproduced it hear for your convenience.
The Principle of Evidence
According to the principle of evidence, what is gained in empirical research is evidence, NOT proof. This means that knowledge based on educational research is ultimately tentative. Therefore, please eliminate the word "proof" from your vocabulary when you talk about research results. Empirical research provides evidence; it does not provide proof. Also note that, evidence increases when a finding has been replicated. Hence, you should take NOT draw firm conclusions from a single research study.
Objectives of Educational Research
There are five major objectives of educational research.
One convenient and useful way to classify research is into exploratory research, descriptive research, explanatory research, predictive research, and demonstration research.

After his "47 percent of voters are dependent on government assistance and do not pay any taxes" statement, Mitt Romney attempted to back-pedal from his highly controversial fundraiser tête-à-tête with wealthy donors.
Speaking to reporters in California in a hastily called press conference before yet another scheduled fundraiser, the GOP presidential nominee, looking decidedly "unpresidential" and a tad weak, said this late Monday.
"I'm talking about the political process of drawing people to my campaign and er, of course, individuals are going to take responsibility for their lives, and my campaign is about helping people take more responsibility and become employed again—and those who don't have work. This whole campaign is about getting people jobs again—putting people back to work. This is ultimately a question about direction for the country.
"Do you believe in a government centered society that provides more and more benefits, or do you believe instead in a free enterprise society where people are able to pursue their dreams? I believe the latter will help more people get good jobs. This is a campaign about fundamentally, how to help the middle class in America and about how to get people out of poverty into the middle class."
There is more, for Romney was just getting warmed up. He continued to explain his many-are-moochers remark, adding in his usual stump speech and promises by saying, "You've seen the results of the last three, four years and it has not worked. My approach will get 12 million new jobs and rising take-home pay."
Here he fielded another question from a reporter, looking even more awkwardly frazzled, tense, frustrated and a tad impatient.
It was painful watching an already uncomfortable man crumble into more creases as he spoke.
Click on the video above to hear the rest of his explanation for what he calls "not elegantly stated" and accused whoever taped and aired the extremely unflattering video of putting out snippets without the full context of which he spoke.
Romney admitted that he could have phrased said context in a more sensitive and effective way, but that the core of his message has always remained the same.
He did not address the part of the hidden video which showed him joking about his father being born in Mexico but not having Mexican parents. He said he would have had a better "shot at this" for it "pays to be Latino."

There is no rule on how many plugins a WordPress powered website needs. There were many discussion on the 'right number of plugins' website should have, but the point is that you can use as many plugins as you want. So, how many plugins are used to run Dev4Press website?
Dev4Press website currently uses 20 plugins. From that number, 7 plugins are Dev4Press made plugins, one is modded HeadSpace plugin, and 12 plugins are from different developers. Considering the number of features used on Dev4Press, this is very low number of plugins, mostly thanks to GD Press Tools Pro and GD Custom Posts and Taxonomies Tools Pro that can replace so many individual plugins. But, lets see all the plugins used in alphabetical order:
- After The Deadline – www.afterthedeadline.com
WordPress basic spell-checker that is part of editor is replaced by this, much powerful plugin. It has many options that are set per user and include contextual spell-checking, grammar checking and style checking. A must use plugin for any website that deals with a lot of text.
- Antispam Bee – antispambee.com
Couple of weeks back I have written about replacing Akismet with Antispam Bee. After a while, Antispam Bee has proven as a great replacement and permanent addition to my websites. It is very effective in eliminating spam, easy to setup and it takes much less resources than Akismet.
- bbPress – bbpress.org
This is the only forum plugin that truly integrates into WordPress and uses post types to implements forums, topics and replies. And it is one of many plugins directly integrated with my xScape Theme Framework. This is not as complex forum as they can be, but it is lightweight with great potential to expand. If you need extra fields in the topic and replies forms, you can use my GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools Pro to expand it.
- Dev4Press Control – www.dev4press.com
This is not plugin you will be able to get and use. It is written for Dev4Press website and it adds management for Pro users, purchases, downloads, newsletters and integration with the theme to provide user experience you see on Dev4Press.
- Dev4Press Updater – www.dev4press.com
Users of Dev4Press Pro plugins and themes know about this plugin. With this plugin you can install and update all Dev4Press plugins very simply, similar to WordPress repository plugins updates. It is compatible with ManageWP service.
- GD Affiliate Center Pro – www.dev4press.com/gd-affiliate-center
Visitors on Dev4Press see few affiliate banners in the sidebar. They are managed with this plugin. It is a powerful affiliate and ads management plugin, and it seamlessly integrates with xScape Theme Framework to provide with simple way of adding ads into your website. It supports banners, text links or any custom ad code like one used for GoogleAds.
- GD bbPress Attachments – www.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-attachments
There are many things you might miss if you use bbPress compared to other full forum solutions. With this plugin, you will get the attachments implemented. You can set up many things with this plugin, and all uploads are handled natively by the WordPress media library.
- GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools Pro – www.dev4press.com/gd-taxonomies-tools
Dev4Press uses 7 custom post types (documentation, features of the day, plugins, themes…) and 4 custom taxonomies. But, that is not all, with this plugin I have 8 custom meta boxes for different post types, use of widgets and many more things that are implemented through this plugin (custom rewrite rules, improved content management, theme integration functions…).
- gdHeadSpace4 – www.dev4press.com/gdheadspace4
I have modded the HeadSpace2 plugin to fix the issues with custom post types and custom taxonomies. I plan to replace this plugin with GD Press Tools Pro soon, but for now, this is a great SEO solution.
- GD Press Tools Pro – www.dev4press.com/gd-press-tools
With this one plugin you can replace hundreds of other plugins (depending on what you need). From enhanced administration, backup, auto tagging, security, maintenance, SEO, debugging and many more things, I can't even imagine running a website without it. It has full support for WordPress multisite/network mode.
- GD Star Rating – www.gdstarrating.com
One more of my plugins, here is used for posts and comments ratings. It is fully integrated with my xScape Theme Framework themes, and it can be used with any theme. I know that development of GD Star Rating 2.0 has been much slower than I wanted, but new version is coming along.
- Gravity Forms – www.gravityforms.com
This is one of the best plugins ever made for WordPress. If you need to add even a simplest form to your website, look no further. It is commercial plugin, but no free plugin comes even close to Gravity Forms. I have written a review of this plugin, and you can check it out here.
- Lightbox Plus – www.23systems.net/lightbox-plus
In my opinion best implementation for lightbox like image display jQuery plugin (implements Colorbox). It is very easy to set up and use, and it behaves very unobtrusive. It has many different lightbox display styles that can fit with any website theme design.
- Regenerate Thumbnails – www.viper007bond.com/regenerate-thumbnails
Simple and very useful plugin that makes resizing images into thumbnails very easy in case you add or change thumbnails sizes or other custom image sizes. You can read my review of this plugin here.
- Subscribe to Comments Reloaded – wordpress.org/subscribe-to-comments-reloaded
Also another must have plugin. It will add very important subscribe feature for your users and visitors to get information about comment replies, making discussion in posts easy and more engaged. It is massively improved over original Subscribe to Comments plugin, and it is powerful to set up and use. It can be integrated with any theme (with a bit of template modifications).
- SyntaxHighlighter Evolved – www.viper007bond.com/syntaxhighlighter
If you have a need to display source code in your posts, look no further. This is the only plugin you will need, and from my experience, the only one that actually works as expected. It supports color styling and wide range of programing languages.
- TinyMCE Advanced – www.laptoptips.ca/tinymce-advanced
Many of the standard features of the TinyMCE editor that is built into WordPress are disabled by default. This includes controls for tables and other things. With this plugin, using drag and drop interface you can rearrange all buttons on the editor toolbars, add extra toolbars and many more new controls.
- VideoJS – videojs.com
Some of the videos for premium tutorials are hosted on Dev4Press, and this plugin is used to embed those videos into posts. Very simple and easy to use, supports HTML5 videos.
- W3 Total Cache – www.w3-edge.com/w3-total-cache
You can't say anything new about this plugin. It is a absolute must have for any website, it will make integration with CDN easy, it can minify and cache content. As long as you don't use object and database caching, this plugin will improve your website speed, and free a lot of server resources.
- YOURLS: WordPress to Twitter – yourls.org
I am using YOURS for my own domain to set up URL shortening (d4p.me). And this system can be used directly through WordPress with this plugin. GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools Pro can integrate with this plugin, and I have also contributed some improvements and fixes to it.
Thanks to my own plugins, I only use 20 plugins for a very complex website like Dev4Press. How many plugins you use (active, not only installed) on your website?

OBN: 13 arrested in multicity meth ring bust
21 search warrants were executed, agents say
UPDATED 2:39 PM CDT Apr 03, 2013
The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics says a multiagency investigation resulted in a major meth ring bust Wednesday.
OBN says 21 search warrants were executed. There were 13 arrests in various locations including Norman, Moore, Chickasha, and Oklahoma City.
OBN says the suspects involved in this investigation have ties to the Mexican cartel and they were shipping approximately 25 pounds of meth a week. Agents say the drugs were supplied from Mexico and distributed to the metro area.
All those arrested could face a variety of charges, including trafficking of a controlled dangerous substance.
