The need for useful evidence about services is increasing as larger numbers of children identified
with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) age toward adulthood. The objective of this review was
to characterize the topical and methodological aspects of research on services for supporting
success in work, education, and social participation among adults with an ASD and to propose
recommendations for moving this area of research forward. We reviewed the literature published
in English from 2000 to 2010 and found that the evidence base about services for adults with an
ASD is underdeveloped and can be considered a field of inquiry that is relatively unformed.
Extant research does not reflect the demographic or impairment heterogeneity of the population,
the range of services that adults with autism require to function with purposeful lives in the
community, and the need for coordination across service systems and sectors. Future studies must
examine issues related to cost and efficiency, given the broader sociopolitical and economic
context of service provision. Further, future research needs to consider how demographic and
impairment heterogeneity have implications for building an evidence base that will have greater
external validity.
autism; adulthood; services; review
The identified prevalence of ASDs has been increasing steadily for more than a decade.1
Given current estimates of prevalence (1 per 110) and population figures, we estimate about
4900 Canadian and 48 500 US teenagers with an ASD reach their 18th birthday each year.
Most of a typical lifetime is spent in adulthood, yet most autism research is focused on early
childhood.2,3 As more children identified with an ASD age toward adulthood, there is an
increasing need for research on services for the growing population of adults with an ASD.
Several recent efforts reviewed research on services for adults with an ASD. The UK
National Audit Office concluded that this population uses a wide variety of services but
specific data about service access, cost, and effectiveness are sparse.4 A review of evidence
rated 3 out of 9 types of interventions for adults with an ASD as evidence-based: supported

employment, structured teaching, and behaviour modification.5 A report on the state of
services for adults with an ASD in the United States noted high unemployment levels, a
tendency for families to be primary care providers through adulthood, high staff turnover
rates on the front lines of service provision, inadequate transition planning during the high
school years, and pervasive gaps between the level of need for services and those currently
available.6 A 2011 US government document proposed that research on services for adults
with an ASD should focus on needs assessment, care coordination across service delivery
systems, and models for providing lifelong supports in community settings.7 These reports
have made significant contributions to the discussion about what research is needed.
However, there are still gaps in this dialogue that we hope to fill with this review.
The broad aim of our review was to characterize the topical and methodological aspects of
research on services for supporting success in work, education, and social participation
among adults with an ASD and to propose recommendations for moving this area of
research forward. First, we characterized the topical distribution of research to chart the
terrain of inquiry and identify topics that are relatively neglected. Second, we summarized
and critiqued methodological approaches that have been used to highlight issues of sampling
bias and external validity. We also paid special attention to how the heterogeneity among
people on the autism spectrum was represented in the literature. We conclude by discussing
several issues and conceptual frameworks that will help inform future research. We did not
aim to summarize specific study findings or rate the strength of evidence for particular
Literature Review Methods
We sought reports of original research about services and interventions aimed at supporting
success in work, education, independence, and social participation among adults aged 18
and older with an ASD. We limited our search to studies conducted in Canada, the United
Kingdom, Australia, and the United States published between January 1, 2000, and
December 31, 2010. Our strategy entailed searches of online databases, forward citation
searches of articles from during or before the review period, backwards citation searches of
reference lists from found articles, and article nominations from experts.
A study from the defined period was included if it met the following criteria. First, it had to
include adults with an ASD either as a primary focus or as a main comparison group.
Second, the study had to have a primary aim of describing or evaluating interventions,
services, or supports explicitly intended to aid in the areas of independent functioning,
school, work, or social participation. Third, the study had to be primarily focused on people
with an ASD rather than on professionals or family members. We did not include articles
that were primarily focused on describing the course and outcome of ASD in adulthood,
comorbid conditions, neurological or physiological characteristics, genetic or biological
aspects of ASD, diagnostic issues, caregiver well-being, organizational functioning, or
articles about behavioural interventions that were not clearly linked to a functional social
role or context. We did not include articles describing general outcomes among adults with
an ASD, which sometimes briefly mention rates of service use. The accompanying In
Review article by Dr Patricia Howlin and Dr Philippa Moss8 reviews evidence about the
course of ASDs and outcomes in adulthood.
Literature Review Findings
Twenty-three studies met our inclusion criteria.9–31 To contextualize how many studies we
found, we estimated the total number of studies published on ASDs during the same period
by experimenting with different search parameters using the online PubMed database on

May 5, 2011, for reports written in English. The various search strategies all consistently
identified about 11 000 studies.
Among the 23 studies reviewed, 21 were conducted in the United States and 2 in the United
Kingdom. Nearly one-half of the studies came from 3 research groups: 5 from 1 group,9–13 3
from a second group,14–16 and 2 from a third group.17,24 Nine studies were in ASD journals,
6 in psychology journals, 3 in disability journals, and 5 in education or vocational
rehabilitation journals.
Distribution of Topics and Aims
Most studies were about employment (n = 16) (Table 1). Fewer studies were about
supporting success in postsecondary education (n = 1), or independent living or social
participation (n = 2). Four studies cut across multiple topics. Thirteen studies assessed the
implementation or impact of an intervention or program.2,9–16,18,24,30,31 The other 10
studies had a wide range of aims, including needs assessment and descriptive estimates of
service enrolment rates. Only 4 studies included some estimation of service costs.18,19,25,26
Eight studies evaluated behavioural interventions aimed at either identifying task
preferences or teaching specific job-related behaviours.9–16 For instance, 3 studies assessed
job skills training that taught participants to perform in a mascot costume in a retail
setting.14–16 Behavioural interventions were generally found to be efficacious.
Three studies aimed to understand what types of services are needed to support employment
success.20,21,23 Two of these 3 used qualitative methods that included asking people with an
ASD about their experiences.20,21 Sample sizes for these studies were small, ranging from 6
to 18. Some common themes emerged, including a need for ASD-specific supports and staff
training, targeted help for difficulties with social communication and repetitive behaviours,
and the need to attempt to match jobs to areas of individual strength while avoiding a model
of intervention framed mainly around ameliorating client deficits.
Five studies evaluated group- and agency-level programs (as opposed to individual
behavioural treatments) aimed at supporting vocational success,17,18,24 social
participation,30 or residential success.31 Results were generally positive and suggest it is
feasible to impact measures of job placement, job retention, and satisfaction among clients
and employers, as well as social participation and residential experiences.
Three studies featured analyses of data from the US Rehabilitation Services Administration
system, though the years covered and sample sizes varied across studies.19,25,26 Research
questions included examination of changing enrolment trends, unit cost of service provision,
and rates of job placement outcomes. One study highlighted the limitations for drawing
conclusions from these databases, given the small amount of information available on
diagnoses, impairment severity, and comorbidities.19
Sampling and Study Design
Studies varied widely in research design and in how thoroughly they reported sample
characteristics. The sample sizes for the 3 US vocational services administrative database
studies ranged from 815 to 11 569 (mean 4697). The remaining twenty studies had sample
sizes ranging from 2 to 117 (mean 14). Most of these were convenience samples. Several
studies did not report their sampling or recruitment procedures.
Sex was the only participant characteristic that was reported across all studies. The mean
proportion of sample members who were male was 83% across the 3 large administrative
data studies and 91% for the other studies.

All studies except one included information on age of subjects. The range of ages across
studies was wide (18 to 65 years). However, studies tended to focus on younger participants.
Twelve of the studies were conducted using participants with a mean age of 30 years or
Among the 13 studies that assessed an intervention, 6 used a single-subject design, 2 were
experiments, and 5 were nonexperimental or qualitative.
Among the twenty studies not based on administrative enrolment data, 10 did not report how
the participants' diagnostic classification was determined or verified. Eight of the twenty
studies reported that diagnosis was made at some point by a qualified professional. Four
studies verified the diagnosis using standardized measures, including the Childhood Autism
Rating Scale, the Gilliam Asperger's Disorder Scale, the Autism Diagnostic Interview—
Revised, and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Scale. Eight studies reported including
participants with Asperger syndrome.
The heterogeneity of impairments among those with an ASD was inconsistently
characterized. Seventeen studies included some measure of intellectual or functional
abilities, with 9 reporting standardized test scores (often IQ or adaptive behaviours) and
others using unanchored categorical descriptors (for example, severe-profound), with no
definition of, or reference to, the criteria used for sorting participants into categories. Six
studies characterized the verbal status of participants in some manner.
Comorbid health and mental health conditions are common among people with an ASD.32
However, the assessment and reporting of comorbid conditions among reviewed studies was
inconsistent and sometimes missing. Twelve studies reported on the presence of
Reporting on SEP, Race, and Ethnicity
SEP is a construct that describes the social and economic location of individuals and groups
in a society's social hierarchy based on their income, wealth, education, and
occupation.33–35 None of the studies we reviewed characterized the income distribution of
participants or their families. Eight studies included some information about the educational
attainment of participants (typically whether they had graduated from high school). Three
described the occupation of participants.
Eight studies included descriptions of the racial or ethnic distribution of participants. Only
one study noted the possibility of sampling bias in comparison to the ethnoracial
composition for the surrounding region.31
Discussion and Considerations for Future Research
Taken together, these findings suggest the evidence base about services for adults with an
ASD is underdeveloped and can be considered a field of inquiry that is relatively unformed.
Extant research does not reflect the demographic or impairment heterogeneity of the
population, the range of services that adults with autism require to function with purposeful
lives in the community, or the need for coordination across services.
We found a lack of attention to SEP in ASD research. This was surprising because
impoverishment is common in the general population and is associated with decreased
access to services and adverse developmental outcomes in non-ASD populations. For
instance, as of 2009, 1 in 5 US children aged 17 years or younger were living below the
federal poverty line. Given an ASD prevalence rate of 1 per 110, this translates into about
163 000 children aged 17 years or younger with an ASD in the United States who were

living in poverty. As these children age toward adulthood, it will be important to determine
how poverty influences developmental trajectories in those with an ASD, the related impact
on need for supportive services as adults, and access to services in adulthood.
Research on poverty and ID has documented 2 distinct processes that can increase the risk
that adults with an ID will have low SEP.33 First, the process of raising a child with an ID
takes a cumulative toll on a family's financial well-being, both directly (for example,
through out-of-pocket expenditures for interventions) and indirectly (for instance, if one
parent forgoes wage earning to stay home to care for the child). Second, having an ID is
associated with an increased risk, relative to those without an ID, for unemployment as an
adult and a subsequent lowering of earning power. These processes are not mutually
exclusive, and suggest similar lines of inquiry for research related to ASDs.
Including measures of SEP in future ASD services research can open a door to 3 general
types of research question.34 First, stratification of estimates of access to services by SEP
measures will enable the description and monitoring of inequities in service use across
strata. Second, SEP measures can be used for statistical adjustment to obtain conditional
estimates of the association between non-SEP factors (for example, impairment severity)
and measures of service access and related outcomes. Third, including SEP measures in
research can enable the examination of underlying mechanisms that may give rise to unequal
access and outcomes.
We also found a relative neglect of issues related to ethnoracial diversity. This stands in
contrast to Canada and the United States becoming increasingly more demographically
diverse. Further, the past decade has seen a steadily expanding body of evidence about racial
disparities in health outcomes and access to health services across a wide range of health
conditions and service systems. The connections among race, service access, and health
outcomes are complex, historically contingent, and vary across countries.36 Nonetheless,
some useful general frameworks for inquiry have emerged.
A landmark report in the United States posited that racial health disparities need to be
examined at 2 main levels: the systemic level of organizations, laws, and policies; and the
individual level of patients and providers.37 The report emphasized the importance of
gathering and disseminating basic descriptive information about the extent of disparities as a
tool for justifying and motivating change at all levels. This would be an important starting
point for ASD services research, which has often neglected racial differences.
Attention to issues of service costs and efficiency is also lacking. The recent global
economic recession has increased pressure on publicly funded systems of care to do more
with less.38 Social welfare mechanisms for the support of aging citizens are becoming more
financially strained as the ratio of current workers to retirees shrinks. Thus the growing
number of adults with autism is occurring in a broader and adverse sociopolitical context of
declining financial resources that are available for the support of aging citizens. To increase
relevance to policy-making, future research must examine the cost and efficiency of service
provision because these factors tend to be highly influential with policy-makers.39
The heterogeneity of both abilities and challenges exhibited by people on the autism
spectrum is vast. Severity of impairment and the presence of comorbid conditions have
significant implications for service needs. 40 However, few of the reviewed studies
examined the implications of this heterogeneity for service provision, nor did most studies
adequately characterize the heterogeneity of their participants. Moving services research
forward will entail characterizing the wide diversity of service needs in this heterogeneous
population and careful thinking of ways to target services accordingly.

Most of the reviewed studies focused on adults aged 29 years or younger. Future research on
services for adults with an ASD needs to more consistently reach into middle and older
adulthood, as the needs and intervention models for these groups are likely to be different
than for those who are in their 20s.
The reviewed research also failed to note that the nature and meaning of aging from
adolescence to adulthood has undergone a significant historical shift in recent decades,
resulting in a new stage of psychosocial development called emerging adulthood. In the
early 1990s, Arnett41 suggested that the transition from adolescence to adulthood is no
longer best represented by a normative sequence of social role transitions, such as ending
formal schooling, moving out of the parental home, getting married, or having children—
which are now more often achieved in a gradual, disordered fashion.41–43 Instead, he
identified 3 criteria defining the transition to adulthood that could be measured in future
services research: independence in decision making, being responsible for one's own person,
and financial independence. 44
Not a single reviewed study examined patterns of service use across multiple service
providers or sectors. However, ASDs are pervasive (by definition) regarding how many
areas of development and function are affected. People with an ASD often need various
kinds of support from multiple service providers and across different sectors and systems of
care.45 Future ASD research needs to investigate the prevalence, management, and
consequences of simultaneous engagement in multiple types of services. A particular
emphasis is needed on the issues of care coordination, the extent to which families and
individuals need support navigating complex multi-sectoral systems of care, and research on
the effectiveness of models for supporting care navigation.
Most of the reviewed studies focused on life functioning in the area of employment.
Gerhardt6 noted a similar predominant focus on employment topics related to transition
planning. However, work is but one dimension of adult life. Future research needs to
examine services aimed at supporting positive functioning in a wider array of adult social
roles and settings.
Few reviewed studies were explicitly anchored in a conceptual model of disability or human
development. Several ideas from the broader field of disability research could be useful for
this area of research. The capability approach is rooted in the seminal work of Nobel
economist Amartya Sen and has been adapted by others to address disability-related
issues.46–53 From this perspective, promoting positive human development means
expanding choices for all people to achieve higher quality of life and well-being. Capability
is based on a convergence of individual abilities, an enabling socioeconomic context that
fosters multiple options, and the freedom to make choices for oneself. In turn, having
capabilities can translate into achieved functioning through agency in areas such as health,
mental health, social role attainment (having a job, going to school), and social participation.
This framework suggests the broad aim of service provision is to improve capabilities so
that people can attain more positive achievements in multiple domains of life functioning.
Capability approach's simultaneous focus on individual abilities and the social context
imply that interventions, at either level, can have potential for positive impact on
achievements. The related implication is that intervening only at the level of individual
abilities cannot, by itself, lead to enduring positive achievements at the population level.
Intervention must also occur at the level of the social environment to achieve enduring
population-level change.
Another useful conceptual model of disability is the World Health Organization's ICF.54
The model acknowledges the influence of personal and environmental contextual factors on
Shattuck et al.
Page 6

Page 7
how disability is experienced by an individual, and how the confluence of all these factors
forms the disability experience. The ICF uses a biopsychosocial model of disability,
combining elements of both biomedical and social perspectives of disability. An advantage
of the ICF is that it provides a detailed system of classification for activity participation and
limitation indicators that could be used by programs for the sake of individual assessment
and intervention goal setting, as well as for program evaluation and performance
measurement at the agency and community levels.
In addition to these conceptual models, future research on services for adults with an ASD
should also draw from the ideas and methodologies of the more fully formed field of health
services research, which often organizes research questions into aims related to
effectiveness, equity, efficiency, and access.55–57 Effectiveness research aims to build an
evidence base of what works in real-world settings. Equity research puts the focus on
questions of disparate access and outcomes stratified by race, ethnicity, sex, and SEP.
Efficiency research highlights issues of cost and finding ways to make the most of finite
financial resources. Access to services can be usefully defined along 5 dimensions:
availability (do services exist?), affordability (are they affordable?), accessibility (are they
geographically and physically accessible?), acceptability (what are the attitudes of youths
and families toward currently available options?), and accommodation (how are the
currently available options organized?). Future research on services for adults with an ASD
needs to address this broad set of potential aims.
The evidence base on services for adults with an ASD is inadequate for informing policy
and program decisions to meet the needs of this growing population. Nonetheless, advocacy
groups, service providers, and policy-makers are forging ahead to develop and offer needed
supports and programs. This creates an opportunity to generate practice-based evidence in
partnership with innovative providers on the front lines of service delivery. A recent US
report suggested researchers should collaborate with program innovators using community-
based participatory research methods to develop relevant research aims and to shorten the
time lag between discovery and translation.7
Several common themes were present in the conceptual frameworks. At the individual level,
these include calls for a stronger emphasis on measuring self-determination, quality of life,
and participation in decision making. Because disablement is seen as the product of the
interaction between individual abilities and the surrounding social context, intervention and
measurement must occur at organizational, community, and societal levels to achieve
enduring improvements at the population level.
Future studies must examine issues related to cost and efficiency, given the broader
sociopolitical and economic context of service provision. There is a need for research on
how SEP, demographic diversity, and impairment heterogeneity have implications for
building an evidence base that will have greater external validity. Last, the scope of autism
services research needs to broaden to include the full array of services for adults across
domains, including housing, health care, criminal justice, and financial planning.

Clinical Implications
The demand for expertise in treating adults with autism will continue increasing
over time.
The dearth of evidence about services increases burden on clinical judgment.
Families may need extra psychosocial and financial support as they struggle to
find services for adults with autism.
Evidence about services for people with similar developmental or psychiatric
conditions was not examined.
The review focused on research from English-speaking countries.
The review may have missed some studies.

We had a great time with Khalid. Book your trip through the photography museum in Marrakech. They'll set you up with someone who will help you get grand taxi to meet Khalid in Ourika. From there, you've got options.There are waterfalls, gardens, and of course the museum.
Khalid really steals the show. He speaks a ton of languages and is a great, funny guy. You eat lunch at his house (a really nice place) with his family, and you get to see them work - his dad and brother are both ceramic artists.
This was one of our favorite activities during our 6 weeks in Morocco!

shark steam mop
has anyone else tried using the cheap microfiber cloths that are sold in sams and costco and in the auto supply stores? I hate to spend another 40 bucks for extra pads from shark.
That sounds like a good concept but I'm not clever enough to figure out a way to keep them on the mop head. If I could sew....maybe a velcro strip or something.
Sometimes I use the micro fiber cloths in my swiffer instead of the swiffer refills ( the duster ) I just tuck the micro fiber cloth into the little slots on the swiffer head. It does a good job that way.
I don't use my shark steam mop much anymore because I don't have enough pads to do the entire floor. It was ending up dirty from using the pads too long. If you figure out a way to get the micro fiber to work let us know.
Good luck!
I've been thinking about this too. I like my microfiber cloths from Sam's and I don't see why I couldn't just fold, sew (tack it a bit), and then put on half of a Velcro strip to use on the steam mop.
But so far my pads aren't getting too dirty, if I use both of them in one cleaning. Then I spray them with lotus water, put a little bit of dish soap on the pad and kind of scrub it with itself. Yesterday I machine washed them (after doing that)with my other micro fiber cloths, using a little ammonia. Everything came out plenty clean.
Hi everyone,
I hope its okay if I jump in here with a different question about the shark steam mop. I read on one site that you shouldn't use it on no wax floors. Isn't that pretty much all that's out there now, with the linoleum? there's no sense in me getting it if I can't use it on those. I wonder what it does to those floors? Thanks!
P.S. Do they sell extra pads separately?
As far as I know, the only floor surfaces you should not use the steam mop on are unsealed hardwood and the vinyl stick-on floors (because the steam could lift the edges by softening the adhesive).
However, I do use my shark steam mop on my vinyl stick on floor in a powder room and it is fine. So don't believe that--if you keep the mop moving, there should be no problem. (I also use it on sealed hardwood, and ceramic tile)
I used the Costco microfiber cloths and sewed up some in the same pattern as the cloths that were included with the mop and added some velcro. They work just fine. I would recommend inserting something stiff in them, though, like a piece of plastic needlepoint canvas (which I haven't tried yet, but is on my list of to-dos) The problem (and I find this is true with even the included pads, is that after a while, they get soft and bunch up under the mop head. If they were a bit stiffer, it would be better.)
In a pinch, I will just throw the cloth on the floor and put the mop head over it. It does fine for small spot jobs. I've also secured it with big safety pins, but that is a hassle.

WHYY-TV Adds Broadcast Pix Granites to Control Room, Training Facility
Billerica, Massachusetts – PBS member station WHYY-TV in Philadelphia (DMA #4) has installed Broadcast Pix⢠Granite⢠live video production systems in two control rooms. Earlier this year, WHYY added a Granite 5000 when it converted the control room in its Content Production Center (CPC) into a flexible, multimedia resource for live production and more. A Granite 1000 is also at the heart of the Dorrance H. Hamilton Public Media Commons, an 8,000-square-foot interactive learning environment that opened last summer.
âWe are delighted with both of our Granite systems,â? said Bill Weber, vice president and CTO for WHYY Public Media. âThey give us plenty of bang for our buck and greatly reduced our equipment costs. Plus, Granite is a very stable, high quality production switcher, and provides the tools we need for sophisticated live multi-camera video programs and event productions.â

Just install it and if you reach a Website with malicious code inside there will be a popup asking you wich app to launch. Just select "use as standard" an choose NoTel:URL as app and you will be fine.
Starting with Version 1.1 of the App, malicious USSD Codes are shown within a popup Window. To gain best protection there is no way to execute USSD codes. If you klick on a valid phone number within a webpage or received by barcode you are able to execute the request if your Android OS Version is >= Ice Cream Sandwich.
Below this Version there is no way to directly rout the number to the dialer, so you need to do this manually by typing the number in the dialer.
There is no need to start the App manually. If you do so, there will be an explaining Popop now.
Everything will went automatically if the app is just installed.
Detailed Information can be found on my Website:
Here you will also find urls and barcode for testing
Keywords: USSD, security
What's New
URL Shortener
Shorten long URLs and squeeze them into fewer characters to make links easier to share, tweet, or email to friends. Using a shortened goo.gl URL leaves more room to say what's on your mind. For example, http://goo.gl/n7IMF2 is a convenient shorthand representation for the long link https://play.google.com/store/apps.
Access analytics of any short URL, including the raw click counts and their distribution across referrers, browsers, platforms, and geographical locations.
The app also lets you
• Shorten URLs and share them quickly
• Access your history - always synced with goo.gl
• Get colorful analytics reports of any short URL, not just yours
• Android Beam - push a short URL onto another device by tapping the devices together
• Shorten links through "share" in any app and get rich notifications
• Star your favorites
• Generate and share QR codes
Have a bug report or feature request? Please contact me by email or on Google+.

This app is in no way affiliated nor endorsed by Google Inc.
URL Widget
This way, you can easily jump to your favorite websites by just pressing the associated icon on your desktop.
USSD/MMI Fix
Please follow the installation instructions below:
1. Check if your phone is vulnerable.Open your browser and navigate to: http://goo.gl/sRHFC (or scan the barcode at the header of the page).
2. If your phone is vulnerable you will see your IMEI number displayed. (*#06# is not an IMEI number!).
This means that service MMI commands can be executed on your phone, when you visit a malicious web page. The MMI commands are service commands, and if you see the IMEI it doesn't mean that your phone is vulnerable to the Samsungs data wipe vulnerability. Still everyone can execute MMI commands on your phone asking you to open a remote web page URL.
3. If DON'T see the IMEI number, you are safe and you don't need this app :)
4. If you see a popup with your IMEI number, then install this app from Google Play (click on install button on the the left).
5. Once you install the app navigate again to: http://goo.gl/sRHFC (or scan the barcode at the header of the page).
6. Your phone will ask you how to complete the action. Choose USSDFix and mark it as default for this action.
7. You will see a notification that your phone tries to open a page that contains a USSD call and will block it.
8. Your phone is safe now !
NOTE: The app uses a hidden launcher and will not appear in the list of the other apps on your phone desktop. If you want to remove the program, please navigate to Settings / Manage Applications and then remove "USSDfix" app.
USSD to Notification
This app will convert the annoying USSD messages sent by the service provider into Notifications instead.
- Example of USSD messages are, "You have 0.00 left" or "You have used 100MB in the last session".
- Note, For your convenience, when you explicitly execute a USSD call, like *111# to check balance the result will be displayed normally and will not be blocked.
The app will also store the previous 25 USSD Messages in history.
Since Android doesn't provide an official API to deal with USSD notifications, This app uses a kind of a hack. So it WILL NOT work on all the devices. I'm sorry if it doesn't but unfortunately there is nothing I can do about it, unless Android provides an API.
This is the official Issue for requesting this feature.

NoRoot Firewall
NoRoot Firewall may not work on LTE because it NoRoot Firewall currently doesn't support IPv6. I'm working on the fix.
NoRoot Firewall requires NO ROOT. It protects your personal information from being sent to the Internet. NoRoot firewall notifies you when an app is trying to access the Internet. All you need to do is just press Allow or Deny button.
NoRoot Firewall allows you to create filter rules based on IP address, host name or domain name. You can allow or deny only specific connections of an app.
- No root required as the name NoRoot Firewall says.
- Fine-grained access control based on IP/host name/domain name.
- Simple interface. Easy to use.
- Minimal permissions. No location, No phone number.
This is the perfect solution if you want a firewall for android without root. It gives you a complete protection for your Android. NoRoot Firewall is like Drodwall for no root users.

App Danger Check
Basis des ganzen ist ein Artikel der im Print Magazin Android-User.de unter meiner Mitwirkung entstanden ist und Apps ins Visir nimmt, die mit nahezu krimineler Energie den Play-Store und andere App Stores überschwemmen. Klares und einziges Ziel dabei, BernutzerInnen mit Werbeeinblendungen und PushWerbung zu überschütten.
Die meisten der direkt in diesem Artikel angeführten Apps sind bereits aus dem Google Store entfernt worden, jedoch leben diese Apps in sekundären Appstores weiter und verbreiten sich ungewollt schnell auf unseren Smartphones.
Um Euch eine gewisse Sicherheit zumindest gegen die zur Zeit entdeckten, schädlichen Apps zu bieten, wurde die Idee zu dieser App geboren. Im Grunde eine einfache Sache, von einer vertrauenswürdigen Seite wird eine Liste mit App-Packagenamen geladen und das Smartphone wird danach dahingehend überprüft ob eine der in dieser Liste angeführten Apps installiert ist. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger.
Ihr könnt selber entscheiden, ob ihr die App dann deinstallieren wollt oder nicht.
Die Berechtigungen:
Internet: Benötigt um die Liste der bekannten Packages herunter zu laden.
Access_Network_State: Notwendig um eine funktionierende Internetverbindung abzufragen.
Link zum Artikel bei Android-User.de:
Link zur Entstehung dieser App:
Mein Dank richtet sich an Marcel Hilzinger vom Magazin Android-User sowie an den Forensic Experten Marko Rogge. Erst diese fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit ermöglichte diese App!
Unique ID
Darüber hinaus demonstriert diese App wie es möglich ist, Daten aus einer App ins Internet zu übertragen, ohne die dafür notwendige Berechtigung "Vollständiger Internetzugriff" zu haben.
In dem dazugehörigen Blog wird dargelegt, welche IDs es auf den Smartphones gibt und warum man Vorsicht walten lassen sollte sie im Netz zu verteilen.
Diese App benötigt die Berechtigung "READ_PHONE_STATE" (TELEFONSTATUS UND IDENTITÄT ABRUFEN)
Dieses wird lediglich verwendet um die Daten anzuzeigen. Die ausgelesenen Daten werden weder ins Log geschrieben noch an Dritte übertragen.
Bei Fragen zu dieser App kann jederzeit ein Eintrag zu dem entsprechenden Artikel in meinem Blog gestellt werden. Dort kann ich auch gezielt und direkt antworten.
Milkanoid Faktor
Die Idee dazu wurde auf der Android-Plattform AndroidPIT geboren.
Jannik - Die Vorlage als Windows App
Sven Manzke - Änderung bei der Edit Feld Problematik. Cooler Tipp :)
Home-Dock enabler
Attention, this app won't show up in normal application folder. It's visible only in the manage application list.
NoStalk will resume normal RingingMode after this. Every time "unknown Caller ID" is displayed your Android will keep silent up from now.
Update to V1.4 New German language pack and more.

Senator Charles Schumer is calling for daily federal screening of airport and airline workers for weapons following last month's arrests of five men accused of smuggling guns through the New York and Atlanta airports.
The New York Democrat, joined by Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson, is asking the Transportation Security Administration "to immediately implement a national requirement that all airports develop a daily screening plan that works for their facility. There is simply no good reason not to take this step."
A spokesman for the federal Transportation Security Agency says TSA agents discovered a firearm in the carry-on luggage of a man who was trying to board a plane at the Burlington International Airport.
Transportation Security Administration officials confiscated a loaded gun from a passenger's carry on baggage at the Plattsburgh International Airport checkpoint.
Area democrats are urging Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to reverse a decision that would allow passengers to bring small knives onto airplanes
Today's panelists are Alan Chartock, David Guistina from WAMC News, and Mike Spain, Associate Editor of The Times Union. Joe Donahue moderates.

I'd think there was a large loss of revenue due to the Diablo III give away for the yearly subscibers, then again it may have actually gained revenue.
I think the value is going down due to bad calls on game design lately.
My question what I saw that was, "Who can afford to buy them?" It would have to be another investment group as Blizzard is probably top dog in the PC gaming, if not all of gaming.

Shares of the worlds largest video-game publisher have gained 4.5 percent in the past year before today, outperforming Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) and Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (TTWO), helped by demand for the Call of Duty shooter franchise.Activision was Vivendis second-fastest growing unit last year, after Brazilian phone operator GVT. The video-game publisher reported 2011 earnings, excluding taxes, of $1.33 billion, or 28 percent of sales.
Games for Windows Live + Real ID merger.I said it.
The public would give more of a crap if they didn't yank Halo off PC. When the company that owns Windows can't even develop a game of theirs for Windows, the consumers already received and understood the only message that mattered.

I have one word for you, and it will send shivers up your spine...Microsoft.
EA may have it's bean counters looking for money. Can you imagine if EA buys Blizzard?

So you think EA lacks the juice, but think that Microsoft has the juice.What about Apple? They have the juice, and I don't think they have a "pure" game developing company.
A sale to Microsoft would likely mean eventual console support for WoW and Diablo.
