Hi. I'm new to Hackint0sh and I hope you could offer me some advice.
I have a 3g 8Gb running 3.1.3 jailbroken using spirit.
Just after I used spirit the touchscreen doesn't respond intermitently.
It sometimes starts working on it's own and other times I have to lock it then unlock and it starts working again.
Also, sometimes it seems to have a mind of it's own and types random letters or it calls my voicemail without me touching it.
Could this be a fault with the digitiser or some software fault.
Any advice would be appreciated.

A Guide to Researching Health Concerns on the Internet
What is the difference between "good carbs" and "bad carbs"? Is that ache in your side normal or a sign of cancer? Is blurry eyesight normal for people with diabetes, or should you start a carrot diet to improve your vision?
When you have diabetes, you are thrust into many medical mysteries. The disease is complicated and confusing. You need to have an understanding of hormones, nutrition, medicine, exercise, eyesight, foot health, and so much more. Where on the Internet can you find accurate answers to your health-related questions?
Start with your doctor
Ask your doctors where they find the most up-to-date and reliable online information on diabetes-related concerns. Keep in mind that your provider might suggest websites that are geared toward medical professionals. If you come across an article that you have a hard time deciphering, take a copy to your next appointment and ask your doctor to help you interpret it.
Look for credibility
First, an article is more credible when it is current, not outdated. New research is constantly revealing new health-related findings and making old ideas obsolete. Second, seek out articles that are written by an experienced and educated writer. I've seen numerous questionable articles written by people who sign only a first name and don't provide a link to their credentials. Anyone can write anything online, so be cautious. Finally, make sure that the article cites sources. Statistics are easily manufactured, so rely on articles that spell out where their information was found.
Beware of advertisements disguised as articles
If an article attempts to sell you a solution to your problem, such as a medicine or a special pair of shoes, and you can buy that item directly from the article's website, seek your information elsewhere. Reliable articles focus on an idea, like foot pain, and offer multiple potential solutions rather than propaganda supporting a product. Before you ever purchase a diabetes-related "fix," talk to your healthcare provider to be sure that what you are planning to buy is helpful and legitimate.
Opinions are like noses; everybody has one
Even among articles written by medical professionals, there is a wide range of opinions about how to solve or better your medical situation. Some doctors are pro-herbal medicine. Others believe firmly in the assistance of the pharmaceutical industry. One dietitian might swear by a low-carb diet, while another insists that you can eat anything in moderation. Research often and extensively, and present your findings to your doctor to gain further insight.
The ultimate responsibility for your good health falls upon you. Using online articles is just one way that you can empower yourself. Choose whom you trust wisely and carefully, and educate yourself in confidence.

I have not been able to get into VBB since March 4, 2011. Have sent numerous emails to VBB support and several phone calls. Told me that it would be exedited. I'm hoping that I am able to post this and that I am going to be able to get in after this (if ths works). Most of the time I got a message that said: ADJUSTING OUR RECIPE SITE. WE'RE TERRIBLY SORRY, BUT WE'RE UPDATIG VERY BEST BAKING AND IT'S STILL A LITTLE GOOEY IN THE MIDDLE. NOT TO WORRY, WE'LL DELIVER A FRESH BAKED SITE VERY SOON! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. However they never came back and I could not get into the site. Other times I would get an Application Error(Server Errorin '/'.At the time I was showing 0 points and they are going to see what they can find. I know the points that are showing are not correct, but I guess it is better than 0. I asked about all the points I lost when I was unable to sign in and was told that they cannot give me points for that since I did not sign in, even though it was no fault of mine. I have been very very frustrated with this mess.In addition to all this my husband has had back problems, went for an MRI and he has a degenerative and bulging disc. Has to go for therapy for six weeks, three times a week. Also has two precancerous growths on his forehead which the dermatologist froze and will check when he goes back in three weeks. Also found a benign growth on the top of his head, which she will remove in three weeks. Also, he still has the hives from the MS medication. Please continue to have us on your prayer lists! We need it, both for health problems and sanity.Thank you.Please also say a little prayer that this posts and I will continue to get in.Thank youI just realized I am in the Baking Forum, but at this point, I don't want to rock the boat. Will leave it here andhope for the best.

In this wellness center, you will see visualizations showing how joyful interactions benefit your brain, especially its memory and learning centers, as well as your cardiovascular health and immune function.

What Is Joy?
Doctors don't test you for happiness, Some don't even ask about your emotional life. But there is mounting scientific evidence that an entire array of positive emotions and outlook have dramatic health effects--boosting our immunity, cutting our risk of cardiovascular disease and more. Joy encompasses celebratory emotions and a positive outlook on life. When we are happy, when we are optimistic, when our actions are motivated by compassion or love, our health and longevity can improve.
The Biology of Joy
Our feelings of joy have many facets: compassion, love, happiness, laughter, contentment. These positive feelings are a message from the limbic area of the brain, telling us that things are going well. Current research is exploring how the hormones and neurotransmitters connected with our joyful feelings—especially dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin--may influence our longevity and quality of life. Joyful people have been found, in some studies, to have less pain, better cardiovascular health, and better memory.
Joy & Your Brain
Your emotions are an interweaving of physical, psychological and biochemical reactions to the world around you. Here, we will see that the brain has highly specialized equipment for sorting and processing our feelings.
Born Joyful or Raised Joyful?
Individual differences in temperament and personality certainly help determine a person's "joy" profile. Varying levels of important neurotransmitters--especially dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine—could account for differing capacities for joy. Most people who report being happy have some factors in common: They have high self-esteem, feel some control over the circumstances of their life and they enjoy connecting with others.
The Joy of Motherhood
Every time a mom locks eyes with her newborn baby, powerful changes take place for both of them. They form an emotional connection and caregiving relationship that will last for a lifetime. A baby knows his or her mother's voice, smell and heartbeat during the first day of life, and grows more attached to her with each passing day. Best-selling author Deepak Chopra, M.D., explains how the physical closeness they experience as they explore the world together gives the baby security and fulfills the mother's drive to help her baby thrive.
A Mother`s Love
A woman's emotions during and after pregnancy affect her baby's health. The closeness of the maternal bond can affect the child's well-being and the mother's throughout their relationship.
A Mother`s Nurturing
A 2012 study revealed that when children are nurtured as toddlers, they end up with more tissue density in their brain. Specifically, the hippocampi--brain areas key to learning and regulating stress--were more developed in school-age kids whose mothers displayed nurturing behavior when the kids were toddlers.
Ecstasy & Intimacy
The thrill of new romance revs up your brain! Partners' intimacy can improve their mood, immunity, blood pressure and more.
Joy and Relationships
Humans are social creatures by evolution. Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, Interpersonal Neurobiologist of the UCLA School of Medicine and Mindsight Institute, explains that relationships are the foundation of every aspect of our lives—longevity, health, wisdom and happiness. Healthy relationships are too frequently seen as an "extra" in the modern drive to achieve. But new scientific findings are proving that close, nurturing relationships are not an extra when it comes to our health.
Love & Marriage
Our connection to a loved one defines our engagement with the world, improving contentment, health and quality of life.
Community & Compassion
Connections to others, caring for them and contributing to their well-being are much more than our responsibilities. They are the best course of action for our own health and well-being.
Job Satisfaction
We have all heard our share of complaints about the responsibilities of the working world. But being engaged in a satisfying profession, caring for family members, or doing meaningful volunteer work make a real difference in your sense of well-being. What is it about having meaningful day-to-day responsibilities that improves our lives?
Mindful Awareness and Faith
A person's inner life, religious beliefs and focus on the spirit—no matter what form their reflectiveness or worship takes—has clear benefits for well-being and health.
Who Has Joy?
Even in very challenging times, three out of ten Americans say they are "very happy," one in ten say "not too happy," and the rest describe themselves as "pretty happy." Pretty good. The Gallup-Healthways Well-being Index tracks the state of life satisfaction through daily changes by surveying about 1,000 every single day to find out about their sense of happiness and well-being.
Follow Your Bliss
"Go forth and be joyful" may seem like overly simple advice. But those who study happiness say that being aware of its importance, and making a conscious commitment to spend more time on the relationships and activities that give you joy, is more than half the equation. Some joyful experiences will be spontaneous. Others may take more thought and effort. Make the effort. Your life will be happier and – perhaps – longer.
Joy & Longevity
When people have a clear purpose and take pleasure in life's many joys, they tend to live longer. Positive engagement in life is your reason to get up in the morning, and to persevere through obstacles and misfortune. Joyful people know that the positive aspects of life are worth the struggle. When we learn to embrace joy and get the most out of life, even through the hard times, every day that we live can be the best day of our life.
Long Happy Life
The evidence is piling up that a positive outlook is one factor that helps reduce the risk of disease for many people. Many variables influence longevity, but this much is certain: Taking a joyful approach to life has never been linked with any major illness!

About the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
The National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases aims to prevent disease, disability, and death caused by a wide range of infectious diseases. We focus on diseases that have been around for many years, emerging diseases (those that are new or just recently identified), and zoonotic diseases (those spread from animals to people). Our work is guided in part by a holistic "One Health" strategy, which recognizes the vital interconnectedness of microbes and the environment. Through a comprehensive approach involving many scientific disciplines, we can attain better health for humans and animals and improve our environment.
To carry out our mission, we use many different tactics: providing leadership in public health, conducting exemplary science, strengthening preparedness efforts, establishing public health policy, sharing vital health information with the public, and building partnerships. Each of the center's seven divisions works with partners to protect and improve the public's health in the United States and worldwide. More about the center, director, organization chart »
Our Work, Our Stories
New! National Center for Emerging Zoonotic and Infectious Diseases: Accomplishments 2013 [PDF - 8 pages] updates Our Work, Our Stories (below), focusing on our recent work to improve public health at home and around the world.
Our Work, Our Stories 2011-2012
National Center for Emerging Zoonotic and Infectious Diseases: Our Work, Our Stories 2011-2012, is the first public report about NCEZID-who we are and what we do.
NCEZID Divisions
- Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases (DFWED)
- Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ)
- Division of High-Consequence Pathogens and Pathology (DHCPP)
- Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP)
- Division of Preparedness and Emerging Infections (DPEI)
- Division of Scientific Resources (DSR)
- Division of Vector-Borne Diseases (DVBD)
Emerging and Zoonotic Diseases — At a Glance
Zoonotic diseases: Approximately 75% of recently emerging infectious diseases affecting humans are diseases of animal origin; approximately 60% of all human pathogens are zoonotic.
Refugee health: An estimated 50,000 to 70,000 refugees are resettled to the United States each year. These individuals can suffer from many health conditions— infectious diseases, malnutrition, and post-traumatic stress disorder caused by war.
Foodborne illness: Food-related diseases affect tens of millions of people and kill thousands and cause more than $9 billion in health care-related costs each year. Preventing a single fatal case of E. coli O157 infection would save an estimated $7 million.
Waterborne illness: Water, the world's most precious commodity, is a primary resource for drinking, recreation, healthcare, industry, and agriculture. Globally, over 900 million people lack access to healthy water; in the United States, there are millions of cases of waterborne illness each year.
Healthcare-associated infections: Nearly 2 million people get infections while in U.S. hospitals each year. Almost 100,000 of them die as a result. The two most common causes are Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile (C. diff).
Vectorborne diseases: There have been 1.5 million West Nile virus infections since 1999. 2.5 billion people are at risk for dengue in more than 100 endemic countries with 50 million cases of dengue fever each year.
Immunization safety: Monitoring health problems after vaccination is essential to ensure the United States continues to have the safest, most effective vaccine supply in history. CDC's Immunization Safety Office identifies possible vaccine side effects and conducts studies to determine whether a health problem is caused by a specific vaccine.
Brochure: Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases
The National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases is committed to protecting people from infectious diseases.

CLIA Certificates
CDC laboratories that perform clinical testing (except clinical trials and basic research) must adhere to Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) requirements and maintain current certification of CLIA compliance. Certificates are available for viewing and printing.
CDC's Infectious Disease Framework
A CDC Framework for Preventing Infectious Diseases: Sustaining the Essentials and Innovating for the Future, CDC's ID Framework, is a roadmap for improving our ability to prevent known infectious diseases and to recognize and control rare, highly dangerous, and newly emerging threats, through a strengthened, adaptable, and multi-purpose U.S. public health system. The framework is also designed to guide collective public health action at a time of resource constraints and difficult decisions. Read the Framework »

Acquisition Objective: To provide access to a broad range of domestic and international network services to federal agencies at the lowest possible price.
Networx has contracts with the following industry leaders:
These contracts are designed to bring state of the art network solutions to federal agencies.
The program consists of two sets of acquisitions through which federal agencies can obtain services:
|Networx Universal
|Networx Enterprise
|Networx Universal is designed to provide federal agencies a full range of Network Services through AT&T, CenturyLink, and Verizon. (nongovernment websites)
|Networx Enterprise is also designed to provide federal agencies a range of Network Services with a special focus on access arrangements. The suppliers on Enterprise include AT&T, CenturyLink, Level 3, Sprint, and Verizon. (nongovernment websites)
To select a supplier, contracting officers at federal agencies make a fair opportunity (PDF, 513 KB) decision based on factors that suit agency needs - including price, past performance, technical requirements or any other criteria deemed fit by the agency.
The Networx acquisition has predefined service level agreements (PDF, 989KB) for each service type. This enables the agency to know what to expect from suppliers and allows a high level of reliability for mission critical needs.
Networx benefits
In 2013, the Networx program saved taxpayers $678 million. Agencies that use Networx save 30-60 percent over the cost of most services at commercial rates.
Unique services
Networx offers managed security services through the Managed Trusted Internet Protocol Services (MTIPS) program, which complies with the Trusted Internet Connections (TIC) initiative.
Managed Network Services (MNS) is another unique offering where the supplier provides overall management of an agency's infrastructure, including real-time proactive network monitoring, rapid troubleshooting and service restoration.
Networx Security Services offers Anti Virus Management, Intrusion Detection and Prevention and other offerings to provide a complete data, voice and security solution and protect agencies against constantly evolving security threats.
If you need assistance or guidance, please contact your Technology Service Manager.
How federal agencies have used Networx
Modernizing networks with advanced technologies and cost savings
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is using Networx Universal for network modernization to transition the agency away from a frame relay network, and toward a managed virtual private network (VPN) for 93 HUD sites nationwide, and to provide HUD with Managed Trusted Internet Protocol Service (MTIPS) to connect securely to the public Internet. HUD is expected to achieve 20 percent cost savings by using Networx for this contract award. In 2012, Networx saved customers over $700M, compared with commercial pricing.
Resolving technical issues for the Executive Office of the President
The Executive Office of the President (EOP) experienced problems with their streaming video broadcasts, which were transmitted over a Networx Universal industry partner's Internet connection. The Networx Program Office and the industry partner agreed to detail two senior engineers to EOP for approximately one month to work with the customer and troubleshoot the circuit. The team discovered an equipment problem and was able to resolve it quickly.

Review by Kim, Springfield, VA, added 12/11/13: how awesome your product isI just have to let you know how awesome your product is. I own the aquapac that holds an iPhone and have used it around the pool and beach for years. Yesterday I was walking along the beach in the BVI and realized I had dropped my phone. We searched everywhere I had walked and finally gave up. Today a mega yacht anchored in the bay found my phone floating in the waters of the Caribbean. It had been floating for over 24 hours. We opened the pac and the phone was dry AND STILL WORKING!!! Amazing! Thank you so much for a great product. I am recommending you to everyone I know!

If I needed a different size waterproof pack I'd definitely try one of their other products. And you can't beat the price. Get it."

-Cannibal Ox "The Cold Vien": EL-P Produced this entire album. The beats were amazing> Iron Galaxy,raspberry fields, B-Boy Alpha, pigeon. He doesn't flow much on this album, but it was Vast aire and vorduls LP.
-Mr. Lif: I phantom: The Beats he produced for Lif were straight fire...I love this album (Have'nt heard Mo' Mega Yet...)
-FANTASTIC DAMAGE: HITIN YOU IN THE HEAD WITH PLASTIC MAGNETS....another ground breaking album from EL
He has done alot of other work with different artist, but those are my favorite albums hes blessed.
Posted 06 November 2006 - 08:44 PM
I hate most the guys out of that crew though, the only acceptable artists from that camp to me are Mr. Lif and Murs. I could be wrong but I don't care to dig any deeper into that 18 year old (for 18 year olds) bullshit whiny ass record lable. Might as well be emo music.

And give a crippling fuck like sand sharkskin condom

Invite you to cross the border then SHIT on your divinities
What language is that? I'm angusih in fact, tangle with a
star-spangled standard issue gat for crowd management
Talk loud and get enshrouded in a hot cloud of harassment
by the crowd force of my mental pedestrian checker,
that smashes subordinate skulls and update the file in your dental records
You tried to get elected but the crowd is my paid hecklers (BOO! BOO!)
You just stepped into the spectrum of paranoid word rainbows

i think he can come through on some ryhmes, and his beats are the best (for being so dark). so sometimes its hit or miss on his songs.
Posted 07 November 2006 - 10:00 AM
He's a great artist, some stuff people feel, some stuff people don't feel. And as far as his attitude, yeah, he can be pretty ego'd out but, I think that is a biproduct of (almost) single handedly making underground hip-hop a viable force in the marketplace, while still keeping your underground integrity. Not to mention that he started a TRUE indie-label (during a time when that was almost unheard of) when he was like 18 fuckin' years old.
I think El-P can spit when he wants to, though. I mean c'mon check this Simian D shit below:
Illicus, spillicus
Plus funcrush that's killin this
Willingly similar pendages
Filling this blank page with syllabus
Centuries certified murder hurts

I actually haven't heard him freestyle. Where can I?
I really don't hate on people who can't freestyle, I mean, it's just a different style and I don't think that MC's should be required to do it. It's like saying "Crazy Legs can break but have you seen him try ballet? He sucks". Actually, it's not that extreme of a difference but, I'm just trying to say, I don't really care if a certain artist can or can't freestyle...unless, of course, the dude thinks he/she is amazing with the freestyle flow and actually sucks....then it's worth noting.
But, yeah, what track or where can I hear El-P free?

On the same note, has anybody ever heard kweli freestyle? He spoke at my school last spring and during the Q&A a guy asked him to freestyle. It wasn't bad, but it sure as hell wasn't good, either. I dunno, I just expected a little more from him.
Posted 07 November 2006 - 12:13 PM
I'm not hating on him at all. Just criticizing. His subject matter and surreal kinda style I appreciate.

Oh my bad, I didn't mean for it to come off like I was accusing you of hating. Nah, I was just saying that good MC's don't have to be good at freestyle to be a good MC, in my book.
Thanks for the heads up on where to hear El-P choke on the freestyle tip though, I look forward to hearing it.
Posted 07 November 2006 - 01:13 PM
el-p's got mad rhymes. i am surprised that you guys wouldn't like him. i see a lot of similarities between him and mf doom. and seeing how you guys jock everything that ever comes out on stones throw and you are doom fanatics this surprises me.

It's like El-p lowered the lights, the mood came down, the crowd chatter died down and he told us he was going to play some serious shit, then this one dude is just acting out. i just meant that i am sure a nick drake show would be very mellow and calm and if some guy started acting like a dumb ass then im sure he would be carried out. probably not attacked by nick drake though. it was more the environment i was comparing not similar artistic qualities by any means.

Just curious though, who are some Beatmaker-Lyricists that equally hit the mark on both production and rhyming??? Would Edan be up there?

Remembering Marisol
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
A family tragedy inspires breakthrough research at TAU
Tom O'Brien with his daughter Marisol
Marisol O'Brien, the youngest of four children Patricia and Tom O'Brien of Boston adopted from Latin American countries, "could light up a room," her father remembers with a smile. But at the age of three she started to lose her ability to walk, and the O'Briens were not prepared for the devastating diagnosis of a very rare disorder that has no cure. Victims of Vanishing White Matter (VWM) disease, they were told, rarely live longer than their early teens. "It was every parent's worst nightmare," he says.
"Most families would feel that they couldn't let this happen to their child," O'Brien says, and they were no different, doing whatever was necessary to help Marisol. "We took her everywhere, even though Boston is a very strong place for medical research and has wonderful doctors. We even took her to Lourdes — a long and difficult trip for us, as you can imagine."
One Boston doctor suggested that the O'Briens contact Dr. Rafi Shiffman, a researcher with the National Institutes for Health in Bethesda, MD. "I wrote Dr. Schiffman a long email about VWM, about where Marisol was in the progression of the disease and her symptoms, and at the end I asked, 'Can I come and visit you?' He sent me a one-word reply — 'Yes.'" Although Dr. Schiffman was not able to offer much hope in 2003, he did take some hair, blood, and skin samples and asked the O'Briens if he could share them with a collaborator.
A call from Tel Aviv
Marisol and Patricia O'Brien
A year later, Tom O'Brien was contacted by Schiffman's collaborator, Prof. Orna Elroy-Stein of Tel Aviv University's Department of Cell Research and Immunology, whose research focuses on VWM disease. In Boston for a conference, Prof. Elroy-Stein, a mother herself, sat down with O'Brien to talk about the disease.
"We talked for a number of hours about Marisol and her condition," O'Brien remembers. "Prof. Elroy-Stein had just begun to create these laboratory mice based on Marisol's very unique DNA pattern. She's a very kind, wonderful person — a beautiful human being. There are a lot of researchers you meet in this process who are specialists and very smart, but don't always have the best bedside manner."
Unfortunately, Marisol O'Brien died on December 20, 2008.
Meeting Marisol's many mice
The O'Brien family
The family continued to support Prof. Elroy-Stein's work through the nonprofit Foundation for Marisol's Journey, which they started within days of Marisol's death. But it wasn't until 2011 that O'Brien met with Prof. Elroy-Stein a second time, when he came to the Tel Aviv University campus as part of a group of Boston businessmen led by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.
"Tel Aviv University has a beautiful campus, and I visited Prof. Elroy-Stein's lab there on a beautiful sunny day," O'Brien remembers, his voice breaking slightly. "I felt Marisol's presence with me as I walked into her terrific lab, filled with kind and energetic young people. She took me down to a room where the mice were — there were thousands and thousands of them! It was amazing! She's conducting dozens of experiments with these mice, and she's on a path to truly understanding what happens with this disease."
The Foundation for Marisol's Journey remains committed to raise funds to support Prof. Elroy-Stein's research at Tel Aviv University — and Marisol's spirit continues to animate not only the O'Briens, but also all of the researchers at the TAU lab. "Marisol plays a role in our daily lives — she's done so ever since she came to us in 2000," O'Brien says. "Orna Elroy-Stein understands that. She's a superb research doctor, but she also gets the personal side — why this work is so wonderful for us."

iOS 7 Now Powers 3 Out of 4 Apple Devices
Nearly three months after the launch of iOS 7, three-quarters of all mobile devices from Apple are running the newest operating system.
Fri, December 06, 2013
Computerworld — Nearly three months after the launch of iOS 7, three-quarters of all mobile devices from Apple are running the newest operating system, Apple and others have agreed.
Apple started serving iOS 7 on Sept. 18, and shipped the operating system on its fall wave of new products, including the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C -- which went on sale later that month -- and the iPad Air and Retina-equipped iPad Mini that reached retail last month.
Almost three out of four devices that accessed the App Store for the week ending Dec. 1 ran iOS 7, Apple said on its developer website. (Image: Apple.)
According to Apple's iOS developer support site, 74% of the devices tapping the App Store for seven days prior to Dec. 1 ran iOS 7, more than three times the next-most-popular edition, last year's iOS 6.
Apple's number closely matched those of third-party firms that have also measured iOS version traffic.
On Tuesday, for instance, mobile advertising company Chitika, of Westborough, Mass., pegged iOS 7 iPhone traffic through its network at 74%. iPad owners have upgraded at a slower pace, with 64% of the tablets running iOS 7. Chitika's tally was generated between Oct. 25 and Nov. 18.
Mixpanel, a San Francisco-based mobile app analytics vendor, has also tracked iOS 7 uptake. As of Friday, the new operating system accounted for 79% of the Apple devices accessing Mixpanel clients' apps or websites. That was up from 61% in late September, and a slight increase from the 76% of one month ago.
iOS 7 uptake has slowed dramatically since first few days and weeks of the upgrade's availability -- Chitika measured iOS 7's penetration at 52% just a week after release -- but it remains above levels set by its predecessor.
"[It is] very likely that iOS 7 will continue to substantially outpace iOS 6 adoption, which reached 83% close to six months following its release in September 2012," Chitika said on its blog earlier this week.
A rapid uptake tempo is worth more than bragging rights by Apple partisans, as the faster an operating system is adopted, the more willing developers are to take advantage of its features and refresh their apps. That has special significance with iOS 7, since it was the first design overhaul since the OS's 2007 debut and boasts a radically different look and feel.
iOS 7 can be installed as an upgrade on the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5; the iPad 2, the third- and fourth-generation iPads with Retina screens, and 2012's first-generation iPad Mini; and the fifth-generation iPod Touch that debuted, with different storage sizes, in October 2012 and May 2013.

When Manhattan's Kyle Lawrence shows up at Heartland Park Topeka he's there to race.
That's why you'll often find Lawrence competing in as many as three divisions in HPT's E.T. Bracket Racing Series.
In the most recent bracket racing event Lawrence ran his dragster in the Super Pro category and his '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser station wagon in both the Pro and Super Street classes.
"I like to race, I want to go down the track as many times as I can," Lawrence said. "That's what I came here to do. I didn't come here to go on vacation."
The multiple entries can make it a hectic day, but that's the way Lawrence prefers it.
"If you're in one division and there's a big car count there's a lot of down time between rounds but with multiple entries you just keep racing," he said. "You just hop out of one car and hop into the other one."
Lawrence said he thinks his busy schedule helps him as a driver.
"I think it helps you stay sharp," Lawrence said. "You get into a rhythm. You can over-think yourself if you sit down and you think too much about it. Hopping out of one and hopping into another one you just prepare yourself and hop in and go."
Lawrence has had success in his '08 Mullis dragster, but his favorite car to race is the station wagon.
"The wagon has more character," Lawrence said. "There's a million different dragsters and they all look fairly similar. If I had to get rid of one of them it would be the dragster. I plan on owning (the wagon) for the rest of my life.
"Seventy-nine is the year I was born so it's kind of sentimental that way, too, a little bit. I like it."
Lawrence has fared well in both the dragster and wagon this season.
He leads the Pro standings with the wagon and is coming off a second-place finish. He made it to the final three in the Super Street category in the wagon and made it to the final 10 Super Pro cars in the dragster. Lawrence is second in the Super Street standings, third in Super Comp and seventh in Super Pro.
Lawrence was eliminated in Saturday's Super Pro class by his brother, Kevin, who is currently third in Super Pro points.
"The year's gone real well," Kyle said. "I've been having pretty good luck. I've been in the winner's circle twice with the wagon. I haven't put the dragster in the winner's circle yet this year but have been going to a lot of deep rounds."

This is my first post in this forum, so I m sorry for the long message! :)
We are a small team of proffesionals exprerienced programmers (14 years each) and we are planning to develop an MMO game. For the moment I m doing a research on which engine to choose for the development of the MMO. After many days of research I m really confused since I really do not know which engine to choose! I finally came in a conclussion, between Irrlicht or C4. But which one is better?
Just to mention it, we are not afraid of having to writing any needed part like networking client/server part etc, but from the other hand we would strongly prefer to avoid rewriting needless code!
Also we would NOT like to develop our own engine from the scratch! We prefer to use a ready made one, but we do not have the budget for the Unreal.
So, pros and cons? Which one is better? smoothier movement, animation,
better graphics? Physics? plugins?
Has anyone tried both? Any experiences?
Any other suggestion apart from Irrlicht or C4?

First and foremost was the ongoing struggle between the officials of Hot August Nights (HAN) and the Reno City Council. It looked as if the council had dug its heels in about having the HAN board sign not only a long-term contract with the city, but also the possibility of the councilpersons passing a law that no competing special event of the same name and nature could be held 45 days prior to, or after, the event being held in Reno.
It was all supposed to come to a head at Wednesday's regular meeting of the city council, but at the last minute it looked as if cooler heads prevailed and there was a potential offer by the HAN board to negotiate with the city fathers. Mayor Bob Cashell was quick to go on record as saying that he welcomed this overture by HAN and that he was looking forward to such a future meeting. For his part, HAN CEO Bruce Walter seemed to mellow a bit also and issued a statement that he would act in any such manner as the HAN board of directors instructed him.
The firestorm of controversy erupted when Walter signed a six-year agreement with the city of Long Beach, Calif., to start HAN in that city beginning next year and also to pre-empt the Reno event by doing a short version of HAN in South Lake Tahoe this year and in the future. The back tracking by both sides late Tuesday came as a welcome sign.
Another outgrowth of the controversy was the subsequent announcement that both the city of Reno and the Reno Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority (RSCVA) were going to join forces in becoming more actively involved in all major special events in this area.
It probably is about time that all the entities concerned, meaning the cities of Reno and Sparks as well as the RSCVA and Washoe County, coordinate their best efforts to guaranteeing that major special events that pump millions of dollars into the local economy continue to grow and prosper.
Another group, the major local hotels and casinos, have indicated they would like to be represented on any coalition that could develop when it comes to special events.
Over the years, the major properties have literally "taken over" HAN to a large degree. The most active venues for HAN now are on the private property establishments such as the Grand Sierra Resort, the Atlantis Hotel Casino Resort and Spa, the Peppermill Hotel Casino and the main streets in front of John Ascuaga's Nugget in Sparks.
The fact that these establishments have stepped up so strongly is probably the main reason HAN has enjoyed so much local prosperity. Now that the various hotels and casinos pay for the free live entertainment and provide all sorts of incentives for HAN participants to headquarter and compete on their grounds, all HAN has to do is worry about the cruising aspect of the celebration. In the early days of HAN, the organization's control of all aspects put them seriously in the red and it was only by the good efforts of local businesses, spearheaded by the late Jim Thompson, that the HAN debt was erased and the event was put on a solid footing.
Since there is plenty of room under the HAN tent for all sides to come together and make it an even stronger event, it looks as if this is the time to accomplish that.
Pack in the MWC
The No. 2 big news story over the past week was the announcement that the University of Nevada, Reno along with Fresno State will be leaving the Western Athletic Conference and moving up to the Mountain West Conference. Former WAC powerhouse, Boise State, had already made the move some time ago. Once again, a veritable firestorm of controversy broke out — though not as strong as the HAN imbroglio — between the WAC commissioner, Karl Benson, and the local university. Benson was quoted as saying that both Nevada and Fresno State were "selfish" in their decisions and that he was going to hold them each responsible for paying a $5 million exit fee from the WAC.
Subsequently, UNR's president, Milt Glick, noted that Nevada might not honor the exit fee since it had signed no such agreement. Also, there is an entry fee that is normally charged by the MWC.
With Nevada's athletic department releasing figures showing that it has some $800,000-plus in the hole, currently the above charges would certainly put a strain on the beleaguered Wolf Pack Athletics.
As of this writing, there has been little or no information released on how the negotiations are going between UNR and the WAC.
Last but not least
Look for fireworks to develop next Monday when the Sparks Chamber of Commerce releases its new name. According to preliminary reports, the chamber currently has members that are located outside the environs of the Rail City and that means the chamber wants to have an all-embracing slogan.
For long-time localites, this situation reminds of the time, many years ago, when the late Mark Curtis was retained by the Sparks Nugget to lead a movement to change the name Sparks to East Reno. That effort was shot down in flames.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Eric Russell email@example.com
Staff Writer
Gov. Paul LePage's blunt, straight-talking style and occasional ideological stubbornness have earned him both praise and disappointment among Mainers.
Polls conducted last month by the Maine People's Resource Center and North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling put the Republican governor's approval rating at 39 percent and 37 percent, respectively. Another poll, by Rasmussen Reports, said 47 percent approved of the job LePage was doing, although 38 percent strongly disapproved.
A recent Critical Insights poll commissioned by MaineToday Media did not survey LePage's favorability, but the governor's name did come up.
When asked an open-ended question about the one thing they were most concerned about when they think of Maine's future, 7 percent of those polled said LePage. That was the third-most-common response, behind only a lack of jobs and the bad economy.
The poll also asked Mainers whether they agreed with LePage's assessment of the state's education system, specifically his comments that Maine students were seen as inferior by colleges outside of Maine. Only one-third agreed with LePage, while 56 percent disagreed.
With a month to go before the November election and more evidence emerging that LePage's support is tenuous, his absence is noteworthy.
"Governors overall, in the middle of a first term with a Legislature controlled by their party, you would expect to see them selectively campaign," said University of Maine political scientist Mark Brewer. "I'm sure that there are some Republican candidates who wouldn't want LePage anywhere near them, while others would love to have him there.
"I'd be very surprised if he's not being asked. The question would be why he is saying no."
Few Republican legislative candidates appear to be aligning themselves with the governor in any campaign literature. On the other side, Democratic candidates are using LePage and his political agenda to rally support.
Both parties in Maine view the 2012 legislative races as crucial to the state's future. Republicans want to maintain the majority they gained in 2010 for the first time in decades because it will allow them to continue pursuing their agenda. Democrats, who controlled both chambers for years, have been uncomfortable being in the minority, particularly with a Republican governor.
"We're not running against him, but more against the bad policies of the last two years," said Lizzy Reinholt, spokeswoman for the Maine Democratic Party. "But he's the figurehead, the ringleader."
A recent television ad by a Democratic political action committee targeted five Republican Senate candidates for voting in lock-step with LePage during the 125th Legislature. Those candidates -- Garrett Mason, of Lisbon Falls; Tom Martin, of Benton; Nichi Farnham, of Bangor; Chris Rector, of Thomaston; and Lois Snowe-Mello, of Poland -- are seen as vulnerable by Democrats.
Maine Republican Party spokesman David Sorensen agreed that LePage is the "driving force" behind changes in state government but said Republican candidates are proud of those accomplishments.
"Our polling tells us that Mainers are very happy with what Republicans in Augusta have done over the past two years -- from tax cuts to welfare reform to cleaning up state government," he said. "That's not to say there haven't been disagreements between the governor and Republican legislators -- there have. But together, they're fulfilling the promises Republicans made to Maine voters two years ago."
The Public Policy Polling poll showed LePage trailing a generic Democratic opponent for re-election by a 48-to-40 margin -- although when he won in 2010, a strong independent candidate, Eliot Cutler, was in the race.
Democrats also lead Republicans on a generic legislative ballot by a 48-to-37 margin, some of which could be attributed to voters' feelings about LePage.
In the Public Policy Polling poll, only somewhat conservative and very conservative voters approved of LePage. Only 35 percent of independents approved. Nearly 60 percent of self-identified moderates disapproved.
Only 29 percent of women approved of LePage, while 46 percent of men did. Similarly, women were much more likely than men to support a Democratic candidate in 2014. Men actually favor LePage by a 48-to-41 margin over a generic Democrat.
The age breakdown is telling, too. Voters aged 18 to 45 supported LePage over a generic Democrat in 2014, but voters 46 and older overwhelmingly would vote for a Democrat.
"In local races especially, Mainers always look past the party and look at the person, so it's more important that our candidates are out there meeting with voters," Reinholt said.
Brewer said Republicans may be reluctant to align themselves with LePage the person as opposed to LePage's accomplishments, but many can run on the accomplishments of the 125th Legislature without mentioning the governor.
"He and Republicans got a huge amount of what they wanted. They were enormously successful in terms of sheer policy accomplishments," he said.
If Democrats take one or both of the legislative chambers, Brewer said LePage would not be nearly as successful in his third and four years as he was in his first two.

Experiment: Freshwater Mussel Restoration
Tharran Hobson dons a wetsuit and wades into the wetland. Soon he is swimming, diving, fishing around—"pollywogging," he calls it—finally emerging with his muddy bounty, a small wire cage.
As underwater treasures go, it doesn't look like much: A wire structure with a silt-covered tray in the bottom.
But this contraption may hold the key to restoring some of the least understood and most abused creatures in the Mississippi River system: freshwater mussels.
Conservancy scientists and partners are currently testing whether restored wetlands might be suitable sites for freshwater mussel propagation efforts. If it works, it could be another important tactic in the restoration of freshwater mussels that once existed in Midwest rivers by the millions.
I'm joining these scientists at the Conservancy's Emiquon Preserve, a 6800-acre restored floodplain along the Illinois River (a significant tributary of the Mississippi). This project has already been successful in drawing in thousands of migrating waterfowl, and in restoring 30 native fish species.
Could it also serve as a breeding project for mussels?
That's what I'm here to find out.

^I agree. It has an "All Cried Out" type of vibe to it. I think that was intended for her 1st album, which is vocally still her best. She's never been known as great singer but she showed some capabilities on that LP. Well except when she was much younger (pre-Jive Records) she had a really good, full singing voice.
Is HIAM feat. Flo Rida an official remix? I've heard this a few times on radio.

We like peppermint in just about anything so it's no surprise that we're fans of this tingly cool shampoo. (We're not the only ones—it's been a best seller for years.) The gentle formula combines natural peppermint extract with amino acid-based cleansing agents to balance, clean, and clarify all hair types. It's gentle enough for daily use—a relief, since we're addicted!
I absolutely love this shampoo, it leaves my hair feeling soft and smells great! It has a really thick consistency that creates a great lather and allows you to get away with using less per wash. Because I have really sensitive skin, I noticed that if I used this shampoo for every wash my scalp would get a little dry, so now I alternate between this shampoo and Kiems, and love the balance of the two along with the Malin and Goetz intensive hair mask.
I gave this to my boyfriend over Christmas because he was experiencing a dry scalp. He thought he had dandruff but I think it was the dryness of winter and his current shampoo. He was using an ordinary drug store shampoo. After using this shampoo, his scalp was fine. He really enjoyed it and says he loves the smell of it! I bought the full size product.
I have thin hair and it adds enough volume to make styling easier. I love peppermint smell but it isn't overpowering.
Love the smell of peppermint. Shampoo lathers up good and leaves my quite manageable compared to other shampoos I have used.
I am a huge fan of peppermint and tingly. I would love for it to tingle more, but I just read you can leave it in for a couple minutes. I will have to try that. Other than that, it does feel fine in my hair. I probably won't buy this product but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy using the sample. It's hard to judge without using the conditioner along with the Shampoo. SUGGESTION: the Sample does not look like the full product.. Not good for product recognition! I almost passed it right up while searching for it!
The shampoo has an amazing peppermint scent and makes my scalp tingle! Using this shampoo is my new favorite way to wake up in the morning! It's cleanses my fine limp hair and gives it volume without leaving it dry.
I used to use Paul Mitchell tea tree but this stuff is ten times better and priced better too. If you like the tingle this is for you
This shampoo smells so good, I just wish the smell would last all day. This is great for a dry scalp in the winter which is when I like to use it.
So everyone from my aunt to best friend is raving about Malin+ Goetz but it was just ok. Dried out my hair a little but it wasn't that minty. Created a good lather- very concentrated. Definitely did a good job cleaning my hair though.
I was hoping to really love this product. So many of my friends have posted pictures of it on their Instagram but for the price and what a small bottle you receive it wasn't really worth it at all. It is very concentrated and you don't have to use a lot of it. If you have shorter hair I guess you would use less and it would be more worth it. It is invigorating like other people said but I found it a bit drying. Also it contains sulfates and is not paranormal free even though it's suppose to be all natural. Would I buy it again ? Probably not.
