Allegheny County's autopsy office called lax
A group of forensic investigators warned Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald and others that the medical examiner's office increasingly fails to do autopsies in cases of suspected suicide, car crashes and workplace deaths, according to a letter one investigator said was mailed Friday.
The letter claims there is an "increasing number of cases that meet the criteria for a forensic autopsy ... that go without receiving a forensic autopsy."
Forensic investigator Alison Bixby said during the past few years it became more common for pathologists to issue death certificates for suspected suicides without performing autopsies.
"We just issue the death certificate and don't even bring the body in (from the hospital)," Bixby said. "It's a disservice to Allegheny County."
Dr. Karl Williams, Allegheny County medical examiner, was out of the country and could not be reached for comment.
Williams was not listed among those copied on the letter.
County spokeswoman Amie Downs said representatives from the county manager's office and law department met with members of the medical examiner's office about an earlier letter, though she could not say with whom they met or when.
She said Fitzgerald had not received the second letter, which Bixby said 13 of 16 investigators supported.
"It is our understanding that the concerns were addressed," Downs said. "Once we receive (the second letter), we'll see if there's something else we need to do to move forward."
State law directs coroners to investigate facts and circumstances concerning deaths, including those resulting from violence or trauma, to determine whether an autopsy should be conducted.
Kevin Stroyan, president of the Pennsylvania State Coroners Association, said it is up to the discretion of an individual medical examiner or coroner whether an autopsy is necessary.
"It's not something you can just say definitively that this is a certain case that would require an autopsy," said Stroyan, who also is the Pike County Coroner.
The latest letter, which the Tribune-Review received Friday, charged there is "preferential treatment, discrimination and negligence" in the office, creating a "hostile work environment." It did not list examples.
The first letter, sent in April, said there was overtime abuse, a lack of training opportunities and inefficient security at the Strip District office.
The concerns from that letter went unheard, Bixby said.
"Things have not improved," Bixby said. "If anything, I think it's gotten worse."
The second letter claims:
• Management "virtually ceased" communications with forensic investigators, creating a hostile work environment;
• A refrigeration unit used to store bodies prior to autopsy has been inoperable for more than a month;
• Requests for safety equipment for scene investigations went unanswered.
The copy the Trib reviewed bore no signatures. It was signed, "Respectfully, The Forensic Investigators of the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office."
Jake Lifson, an attorney in the county law department who handles human resources, was copied on the letter, as was former Allegheny County Coroner Cyril Wecht and members of the news media. Lifson could not be reached. Wecht said he had not seen the letter.
The letter concludes by saying the investigators hope to call "much-needed attention" to the institution.
Forensic investigators remove and transport human remains, notify family members of a death, retrieve medical records and personal effects of the deceased and help investigate deaths.
The county's website says forensic investigators must have a bachelor's degree in justice, medical technology or biology, or at least four years experience in a related field.

New Views of Callisto's Cratering Record from High-Resolution Galileo Imaging
W. J. Merline, C. R. Chapman, B. Bierhaus, J. Keller, S. Brooks (Southwest Research Institute), R. J. Sullivan (Arizona State University)
New images of Callisto's surface, at high resolution, by the Galileo SSI instrument, have revealed a startling lack of craters at small and intermediate sizes (less than 10 km). Based on the cratering record observed at larger sizes by Voyager (Woronow, Strom, and Gurnis 1982, ``Interpreting the Cratering Record: Mercury to Ganymede and Callisto", in ``Satellites of Jupiter", ed. D. Morrison, University of Arizona Press, Tucson), Callisto's surface appeared old and nearly saturated at intermediate sizes. Therefore, we might have expected the surface to be saturated at the smallest sizes, revealing an old, long-dead world.
On the contrary, the crater population becomes successively more depleted (relative to saturation) at increasingly smaller sizes. Instead, we see a pervasive blanketing of the surface by what appears to be a fluffy, possibly mobile material. The blanketing appears to be as prevalent away from steep slopes as near them, and therefore is not likely be be the result of downslope movement of material.
Our crater measurements are complete over the size range 0.1-3 km and complement the Voyager images, which covers 10-300 km in size. The Voyager record showed a dearth of large craters, presumably due to relaxation, but absolute densities comparable to the lunar highlands at sizes of 10 km. Our distribution follows a shallower slope than a production population and is indicative of a process that preferentially destroys small craters that is proportional to the square of the diameter (D). The destruction and crater production must be happening simultaneously due to the spectrum of morphologies. One process, a uniform dusting of material is not the sole explanation because it would vary linearly with D.
Because our high resolution views so far have been only of the Valhalla region, it is not yet clear whether this blanketing is characteristic of the entire surface of Callisto. However, our measurements from various regions, at a variety of sizes, are consistent with one another, and with the Voyager measurements.

I received a letter yesterday from the National Right to Work Commitee that I thought would be appropriate to share with those who believe that it is an American right to be able to work without being FORCED to join or pay dues to a Union as an obligation of employment. It details the recent victory in Wisconsin where Union funded zealots decided to challenge the desires of the publicly elected officials to turn the tide of fleeing businesses and undue Public worker demands into a more business-friendly environment and one that would curb the ability of Public Sector Unions to collude and conspire with Union backed government officials to obtain compensation that would significantly exceed equivalent Private Sector compensation for equal type work.
Fortunately the Union rhetoric was seen for what it was ... and though the Union Organizers worked and baited many into a frenzy to the extend of heavily coordinated demonstrations and personal intimidation (going to people's houses, intimidating their families and promulgating slurs upon their character), they were unable to garner enough support to accomplish their goals.
Hats off to the good people of Wisconsin who would not be duped into the "guilt-ridden" state of mind the Unions wanted to them to believe. Prosperity begins with the individuals desire to live and work free, and not be encumbered by leaches who wish live off their paychecks every month (to enrich their lifestyle and further their goals) in the form of dues. The State of Wisconsin should now be able to continue to do well and increase the number of jobs and employment of people as it has done so far since the change in State Leadership.
The letter read as follows ...
Dear Ron,
On Tuesday, the battle for employee freedom won an important victory against Big Labor's campaign to take over the Wisconsin State Senate.
And your National Right to Work Committee stood strong in the fight, making sure the pro-forced unionism politicians couldn't hide their record of waste and corruption.
As you know, Governor Scott Walker led a brave legislative effort to roll back union-boss power over Wisconsin state workers, including repealing most withholding of forced dues from paychecks.
Big Labor responded with unrestrained fury.
After the Wisconsin Supreme Court rejected one spurious legal attack on the bill earlier this summer, Tuesday's election returns landed another blow against the union bosses' all-out assault to repeal Governor Walker's government-sector monopoly bargaining reforms.
Thanks to the mobilization of Right to Work supporters like you, Governor Walker did not back down this March in the face of teacher union "sick-outs," hysterical protests, and union-label Democrats in the State Senate fleeing the state to stall the debate.
Ultimately, the bill passed -- ending Big Labor's ability to force tens of thousands of state and local government workers to pay union dues just to get or keep a job.
And that threatened to hit the union bosses directly in the pocketbook.
But even Big Labor's high command knows that Right to Work is popular with the American voters. Poll after poll shows that 80 percent of Americans support the principle that no worker should be compelled to join or pay dues to a union to get or keep a job.
It's no wonder then, despite a $20 million campaign to recall supporters of the labor law reform bill, that Big Labor-backed challengers in the recall election were terrified to even mention the forced-dues issue.
The National Right to Work Committee blitzed the districts with three separate mailings totaling almost 200,000 pieces of mail, making sure constituents knew where each candidate stood on forced dues, and asking them to call the pro-forced unionism politicians and demand they change their ways.
The people of Wisconsin took care of the rest.
In the end, only two of the six Republicans lost, keeping Republicans in the majority of the State Senate. And two union-label Democrats still face recall challenges of their own next week.
The union hierarchy-backed candidate won in District 32, where Barack Obama, a forced-unionism proponent, overwhelmingly won in 2008 with 61 percent of vote.
The other incumbent who lost this week had been dogged by a tawdry infidelity scandal, yet his union-label opponent only scraped by with 51 percent of the vote -- hardly a rebuke of employee freedom.
And next week, incumbents Jim Holperin (D-12) and Robert Wirch (D-22) -- who opposed the government-sector Right to Work law -- face recall elections.
Back in March, instead of facing Wisconsin's budget crisis and standing up for workers, State Senators Holperin and Wirch stole a play from Big Labor and fled to Illinois to avoid voting on the labor law reform bill.
Their recall opponents, on the other hand, have each pledged 100 percent opposition to forced unionism.
If either of those races don't turn out Big Labor's way, rank-and-file workers in Wisconsin will have even more reason to question how union bosses are spending their forced-dues money.
One failed $20 million forced-dues campaign later, the case to end forced dues once and for all just got even stronger.
The National Right to Work Committee is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, single-purpose citizens' organization dedicated to combating compulsory unionism through an aggressive program designed to mobilize public opposition to compulsory unionism and, at the same time, enlist public support for Right to Work legislation. The Committee's mailing address is 8001 Braddock Road, Springfield, Virginia 22160. The Committee can be contacted toll-free at 1-800-325-7892. Its web address is http://nrtwc.org/

DearSugar Needs your Help:
DearSugar and Betrayed Brianna need your help. Her best friend's boyfriend isn't the biggest fan of her live in boyfriend and didn't invite him to their wedding. Brianna is devastated that it was more important for him to not have him at their wedding than it was to have her -- so what should she do? Should she tell her friend how betrayed she feels even though she is basking in the glory of this happy time?
Click here to
My best friend from college's fiancé has decided he doesn't like my live in boyfriend, who he has met twice, and has decided not to invite him to their wedding. This led to me, very calmly, telling my best friend that we are a team and we come as such, and that if he was not invited, I was going to have to step down from my bridesmaid's duties and not attend the wedding.
We have not spoken since, with the exception of attending our mutual best friend's bachelorette party where we both successfully put our problems aside in favor of celebrating the bride. The problem? I am SO angry. I feel betrayed that it was more important for her fiancé to NOT have my boyfriend at the wedding than it was for her to HAVE me at the wedding. I'm sick over the fact that this is the end of the line for our relationship, which has been an amazing thing for the past near-decade of our lives, and beyond hurt that she would allow this to happen. I'm not usually a dweller, but I can't seem to get past this, to the point where it's affecting my other relationships (my girlfriends and my boyfriend, especially) because I'm so afraid to let someone get that close to me only to turn around and throw it over for a petty problem (and it is petty--I've known her fiancé for years and he's done this in a smaller form to a whole slew of people in that time). I'm restraining myself from writing her a tell-all letter, because I still feel as though this is a happy time in her life and I don't want to ruin that for her...but another part of me is asking myself why I even care, considering how unhappy I am. I guess I'm just a mess, and any advice?

Dear all,thanks to Gregory and Giuseppe I managed to install Bambus, so know we know it works on Ubuntu 8.04 also.
I made it run and I get one scaffold of the expected size, it's great. But, now, as Giuseppe pointed out, how we get the best from the output?I can generate a fasta file of the scaffold, as Gregory explained, but that has two problems IMHO:
it has many stretches of Ns and is not possible to check the reads and the matches.I do not feel comfortable to use it "as it is", I would like to check it in gap4 or any other editor, to see if the joins are correct.
What do you guys do? you take the Bambus output as "right" as it is or you have a method to check the quality and possibly modify the scaffold?
thank you allDavide

AN ELDERLY woman died after suffering a fall at her daughter's home on Christmas Day, and then two more while she was in Basingstoke hospital.
Jean Windsor came from Torquay, in Devon, to stay with her daughter Amanda Bailey at her home in Chineham when she fell down a flight of stairs early on December 25 last year, the inquest in Alton heard.
Steven Bailey, Mrs Windsor's son-in-law, said: "At 5.45am on Christmas Day, Amanda and I were asleep when we were awoken by a scream and a shout. There was a bump sound. We saw Jean at the bottom of the stairs in the foetal position."
He added that Mrs Windsor had been in a confused state earlier in the night, and that she suffered from early stages of dementia but was not prone to falling over.
The inquest heard Mrs Windsor broke her wrist in the fall and was taken to Basingstoke hospital.
Notes taken by nurses revealed that Mrs Windsor was subsequently twice found by nurses on the floor by her bed on the evening of Boxing Day. The inquest heard there were no witnesses to the two falls in the acute medical unit, and that one of them left her with a cut to her nose.
That night, the inquest heard, Mrs Windsor's condition deteriorated and she died at 8am on December 27.
A post-mortem into the 84-year-old's death found that she had suffered bleeding in her brain, although it was unclear when this took place.
Recording a verdict of accidental death, Andrew Bradley, coroner for north east Hampshire, said it was impossible to say which fall caused the bleeding, although it was likely to be the first fall.

Background information:
Balloon Fight is an older game, appearing on NES (and in the arcades). It
featured a little guy with balloons strapped to his back, who had to makes his
way along some hazardous courses. Watch out for lighting, enemies, anything in
your path.
In recent years, it has seen release for the GBA e-Reader (with which you read
data from several dot-printed cards, the game is small enough for that) and it
was one of many NES games which one can obtain in Animal Crossing for Gamecube.
Also, it made appearances in several of the WarioWare titles, making it a
recognizable game for current-day game players.
Tingle is a character from the Legend of Zelda series of games, first appearing
in Majora's Mask for Nintendo 64. He was a man who really wanted to be a fairy
(hence the green leotards with pointy ears) and was enchanted when he met Link
for the first time, a fellow fairy. The first time Link encountered Tingle in
the game, Tingle was hanging in midair suspended by balloons, Link being tasked
with shooting him down.
Recently, someone inside Nintendo had the brilliant 1+1=2 idea of putting
Tingle in a Balloon Fight game; it makes sense, since he also has balloons
attached to his back. Not only that, but Tingle is a decently loved character
in Japan having had his own game on Nintendo DS in 2006. (Outside of Japan,
there's a lot if misguided Tingle-hating).
However, Balloon Fight isn't too big a concept, so even updating it with a
popular character wouldn't be enough to warrant a full-priced purchase, so the
game was released through Club Nintendo. This is a scheme, where loyal buyers
of Nintendo products are rewarded with items from their catalogue. It's
somewhat simliar to Nintendo Europe's VIP system (where one can trade in saved
up stars for items and games), but the products in the Japanese catalogue are
far more interesting in classier. Like this special DS game not available in
Menu's and options:
Tingle's Balloon Fight is very import-friendly (it being such a simple, text-
free game), but the menu's are in Japanese. This section is here to help you on
your way.
On the title-screen you can choose between:
A - 1 Player game
B - 2-4 Players game
C - Balloon Trip
and the icon at the bottom leads to the Options menu.
Game mode A has Tingle fighting his way through a great number of levels, two
screens high, against opponents. If you've reached anything beyond the first
level, the game will ask you if you want to start over from level 1 (top
option) or from the highest level reached (bottom option).
Game mode B is a wi-fi download version of the game for up to four players.
Choosing this option will immediately start the download to other ready DS
systems. Have the other players boot up their DS and choose "DS Download Play".
In a few moments, the Tingle's Balloon Fight option will show on their system,
press A to start the download. When the download is finished, the player 1 DS
will show the number of players connected and the middle button will become
selectable, which will start the game. The bottom button cancels this screen
and returns you to the title screen.
Game mode C has Tingle flying along in a forced scrolling level. As with Game
mode A, you can pause to quit and restart from furthest point reached.
The Options menu has the following items:
- Music (choose between default new music, or for the original game's music)
- Select the number of lives Tingle has for game type A, from 1 to 6.
- Gallery (here you will find your unlocked pictures, see the Gallery section.)
Pressing start during a game opens the pause menu; the bottom option will
continue the game, the top option lets you quit (it will ask you to confirm,
left is quit, right is cancel).
When you lose, you will presented with the same type of menu; default option
is to continue, the other option will let you quit (again, confirm this).
In the various game modes, there is basically one thing to do: repeatedly press
A to give Tingle lift to float about, and use the directional controls to move
Tingle in the desired left/right direction.
In the single player Game mode A, you go through levels defeating enemies; do
this by flying Tingle into the enemies' balloons while making sure they don't
hit your balloons (and be careful not to get hit by the obstacles).
Multi-player Game mode B plays in much the same way, but now you have human
opponentes to deal with.
Game mode C (Balloon Trip) has you guide Tingle right to left during a forced
scrolling level. Try to survive as long as possible!
*** coming next update ***
Enemy types:
*** coming next update ***
The bottom choice in the options menu leads you to the Gallery. Move left/right
to select a picture and press A to watch it on the top-screen. Unlock more
pictures by reaching higher levels, surviving longer in the Balloon Trip mode
and several other tasks. More detailed information on this subject is welcome!
There's a total of 20 pictures to unlock, and they are the following:

text: Clements leaving large footprints at WVU By Mitch Vingle November 14, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- When I saw the streamed press conference of West Virginia University President Jim Clements accepting the same position at Clemson, I felt a sense of loss for WVU and its supporters.Clements is exactly what the land-grant institution needs. He's young. He's energetic. He loves his job. And, perhaps most notably, he balances academics and athletics in a very impressive fashion.Usually, schools have presidents known for their support of one or the other, academics or athletics. Clements seemed to put all his energy into both.Now, he is moving south, mainly for family reasons."Best wishes to President and Beth Clements," said WVU basketball coach Bob Huggins via Twitter. "Wanting to be closer to family I understand. It brought me home."Also, Clements isn't bolting out the door. He's staying until Jan. 1. When I texted best wishes to him, he texted back that he'll "always love WVU."Then he took time to speak about his tenure in Morgantown. My questions, naturally, were weighted toward the athletic side of his stay. Over and over, though, he beamed over the academic achievements."I'm very proud," he texted after the interview, "that we hired 100 new faculty members!" It was his second such follow-up text.On the phone, I took Clements back to his early days at WVU. He was hired in March of 2009. That's when the Mountaineers felt pressure to jump from the sinking Big East. They landed in the Big 12."The conference realignment stuff was bubbling," Clements said of the time. "I'd barely been in office when I started getting calls. Now we're in a major conference."Before, playing Oklahoma would be a great bowl game. Playing Texas would be a great bowl game. Now we're playing schools like that every week, in addition to the research and academic partnerships we now have. "I started looking into protecting the institution."He continued."Everyone knows WVU has a great athletic tradition," Clements said. "But I'm a data person. So I had our staff put together all the data on the program, where we stacked up in wins, graduation rates, etc."But that's only one piece of it. School presidents vote. And they're interested in the academic side as well. It's a package deal. So I wanted to present that side. We've had many Rhodes Scholars. We have terrific academics. We have an impressive hospital system. That's what they want to hear." The mission was accomplished. "I got the call from [interim Big 12 commissioner] Chuck Neinas," Clements said. "He said, 'I want to welcome you into the Big 12.' He said they were glad to have us."It was a great day. It was the right move for the institution for the long term."Clements is also proud of opening the $24.1 million, 64,000-square foot basketball practice facility."We raised all the money for that," Clements said. "If you ask Coach Huggins he'll tell you it's one of the finest - if not the finest - in the nation. NBA teams come to see it."The money was raised based on the support of those who love the university." He said he's proud ground has been broken on a new baseball park. After almost every point, though, he moved to an academic achievement."Our student-athletes," Clements said, "are graduating at a record rate."He was asked about the hire of WVU athletic director Oliver Luck."Oliver is a nationally recognized figure," Clements said. "To be named to the NCAA playoff selection committee is a pretty big deal. It brings prestige to the school."So which accomplishment brings the most pride?"That we've graduated more than 25,000 students," he said. "That our fundraising has increased by $62 million. That our [WVU] Foundation assets are up by a half billion dollars. It went from $750 million to $1.25 billion. That translates into scholarships for kids, more teachers and research facilities."All, though, are team victories. There have been a lot of people in Morgantown working really hard on all of this."He reiterated that WVU will always hold a special place in his heart."Always," Clements said. "I will always look out for WVU, now and in the future."Clemson has always been a special place to my family. But I will always love WVU."Clements' passion for the school was consistently on display. It will surely be missed.Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

ANTM Fierce Guide to Life: Genius or Dumb?
Oh wow. The folks behind America's Next Top Model have a book on the way, and it's claiming to be "A Fierce Guide to Life." Come April, we'll be able to turn to this tome for actual, earnest advice on topics that apparently include:
- Applying makeup
- "Runway etiquette"
- How to wear a crop top from Hot Topic
- How to keep hydrated (I wonder if it involves water? We'll have to wait and see!)
- Understanding that "beauty starts on the inside"
I'm assuming there's also a chapter on smiling with your eyes, but that's unconfirmed.
Now, I do love me some ANTM but . . . I don't know what to do with this book. I don't think it's ironic or silly enough to put on my coffee table, and I also honestly can't imagine anyone taking these tips seriously. Now, if Tyra Banks, queen of my heart (OK, not really), had written it, or even the Jays, maybe we'd have a different situation — but it's actually by the author who brought us Kung Fu Panda: The Secret of the Scroll. So, as it stands, it seems just like a lame attempt to make some money.
What do you guys think? Dumb idea? Or genius? Could you see this on, say, the Urban Outfitters book table? Who's going to buy this, besides friends and relatives of people who are trying out for ANTM? And shouldn't it at least be called a guide to the fierce life? I don't care how fierce the guide is if the life I get from it isn't fierce, you know?

All three Fuco stereoisomers had stronger scavenging hydroxyl radical activities than VE, but they showed weaker scavenging activities toward DPPH and superoxide radical than VE, while the radical-scavenging activities of the three Fuco stereoisomers were not remarkably different, that is, the isomeric structure differences of the Fuco stereoisomers had very little effect on their radical-scavenging activities and therefore, it is not necessary to purify the Fuco stereoisomers prior to using them as antioxidants, which can allow cost savings.

Is your Android phone's bootloader unlocked? Is it SIM unlocked? What's the difference?
There's been a bit of confusion in the blogs the past few days over unlocking phones. Maybe you're wondering about an unlocked bootloader. Or maybe you need something that's SIM unlocked. Or maybe you want to unlock your phone's bootloader, but you can't, because it's encrypted.
It's confusing, we know. Even bloggers have a hard time keeping it all straight. But you've come to the right place. We don't have that problem here.
So let's have a little refresher course on what we mean when we talk about unlocking things, shall we?
Unlocking bootloaders
Here in the United States, this is the one you're more likely to be concerned with.
Every Android smartphone has what's called a "bootloader." Think of it as a set of instructions that runs before the Android operating system kicks in. No bootloader, no phone.
Now, 99.99 percent of Android smartphones ship with a "locked" bootloader. (The other .01 percent are phones you probably don't want to know about anyway.) It's "locked" insofar as you can't overwrite it with files that won't work -- or overwrite it with any files for that matter -- either accidentally, or on purpose if you're the tinkering type.
It's also a security measure. You can't unlock a bootloader without erasing all the data that's already on the phone. That means someone can't steal your phone, unlock the bootloader and circumvent your log-in password or anything to get to your data -- it'll be erased in the process! So when you start seeing headlines that say "Such-and-such phone ships with a locked bootloader!", you know not to freak out, because nearly every single Android phone ships with a locked bootloader. And you want it to.
The question is whether you're actually able to unlock the bootloader.
But let's back up for a second. Why on god's green Earth would you want to mess around with a bootloader?
The simple answer is so you can tinker. So you can flash new kernels. Or ROMs. Or even just a custom recovery. The bootloader is the gatekeeper for all this stuff. Again, it's locked out of the box so that you can't accidentally break something, or so that someone (or something) can't purposefully break things.
The act of encrypting a bootloader means that it can't be unlocked without a key. No key, no unlocked bootloader, and no hackery. That's what folks are upset about. They want to tinker, and whomever decided an encrypted bootloader is the way to go -- and it really doesn't matter if it was the carrier or the manufacturer -- isn't making it easy. There are arguments on both sides. Locking down the phone so it can't be tinkered with means fewer customer-service calls, which cost companies money. On the other hand, you bought the phone, you should damn well be able to do whatever you want with it. We get that, too.
Not every phone throws the wall of encryption at you. Google's Nexus line of devices can be unlocked after about 30 seconds and a three little words in a command line: fastboot oem unlock. Many new HTC phones are easily unlocked with a tool provided by HTC. Sony has its own method. It requires a little more time and brain power, but it's not all that hard to do.
So that's bootloader unlocking -- opening up a way to more easily tinker with your phone.
SIM unlocking
The other kind of "unlocking" is SIM unlocking. If you've been living in the GSM world (ie not on Sprint or Verizon here in the States), chances are you've heard this before.
A brief primer: To use a phone on a GSM network anywhere, it needs a SIM card. That's the little card that lets the network recognize your phone, so that you can make phone calls and get data. (You also can store a little bit of information on it, most often contacts.) GSM phones use SIM cards. In the U.S., that means AT&T and T-Mobile. Now, to use an LTE network -- like what Verizon's had for more than a year now, and Sprint's just getting going -- your phone will need a SIM card as well. That's what's relatively new for Verizon and Sprint, and likely where some of the confusion is creeping in.
Think of it like this: LTE is a GSM standard, therefore it uses a SIM card. Easy enough. Recently, Verizon announced that a couple of its phones -- including the Droid RAZR/MAXX and the Galaxy S III -- would receive software updates so that you could use them outside the United States, on GSM networks. In other words, you update the phone, add international data and calling to your plan, and things should just work.
So back to SIM unlocking. There are two ways to purchase GSM-capable phones -- SIM locked, or SIM unlocked. The difference is simple. With a SIM-unlocked phone, you can take a SIM card from any carrier -- AT&T, T-Mobile, Three, Vodafone, O2, etc. -- pop it in the phone, and it should work after a few changes in your settings. There's nothing else keeping it from working.
A SIM-locked phone blocks the use of other carriers' SIM cards. Take, say, a Vodafone SIM card and put it into an AT&T Galaxy S III, and the phone's going to ask your for an unlock code. If you don't have the code, you're not going to be using another carrier's SIM card. (Getting the code is easy enough. If your account is in good standing, chances are the carrier will give it to you. Or there are services online that can help, for a fee.)
Why use another carrier's SIM card? Simple: It can be much cheaper than adding international roaming features onto your current plan. Because your carrier loses money when you do that, they don't make it all that easy. (But neither is it all that hard.)
This is not rooting
It's worth noting that nowhere have we mentioned the words "root" or "rooting." Unlocking bootloaders and having a SIM-unlocked phone has nothing to do with having root access on your phone. Having an unlocked bootloader can make gaining root access easier, but a locked bootloader isn't necessarily a deal-breaker.
It's something to keep in mind.
The tl;dr version
Wrapping it all up in two handy bullet points:
- Bootloader unlock: Needed for some serious hacking.
- SIM unlock: Needed to use your phone on other GSM networks.
They're not the same thing. At all. One doesn't have anything to do with the other.

Ok, this is just a curiosity question - but it would be a great way to
solve some of my issues.
I have a monowall at home -great product by the way, and a pfSense at
the office -another great product.
I have multiple VPN's setup at the office to my collegues (and myself).
Is there a way to add routes on either monowall or pfsense, that would
allow me to reach one of my collegues through the VPN of the office.
I don't want to make another VPN at home, I just want to be able to
access all the VPN's with some kind of rule or route...
I know I can make a PPTP VPN to the pfSense at work, and work my way
through this VPN, but I'd really would love to have this option right
ontop of my one IPSEC VPN tunnel that I have to the office.
- should I create rules on my box at the office, or would some static
routes on my monowall work as well ??
- or, should I forget this, and create each IPSEC VPN individually...
