post up your experience in detail for us please!
I have rooted and flashed the cyanogen rom 5.02.. works great. Also noticed much faster thab before plus now i have the bluetooth or wifi tethering.
Is itFaster because you've overlooked the processoror because the image is just optimized differently? Are the only benefits you're getting the WiFi /Bluetooth tether?
i didnt overlook, or over clock the processor... it just seems to work much better.
oh cool... i meant overClock. my bad, i was on my n1
I just rooted last night, and in the program advanced task killer it says how much available ram free. Before the root/upgrade to cyanogen 188.8.131.52 it reported anywhere from 29-45 megs free after usage, and when i killed all the apps it went up to 75ish. Now (with all the same apps installed) its around 210-250 and when i kill all apps it shoots up to 270ish. That seems to affect the quickness of loading each app and scrolling through homescreens
that's awesome. i assume you are running a rom that allows you to run apps from the sd?
I do believe CM lets you do the sd card thing, but I never enabled it so I'm pretty sure its on internal memory (unless it's auto enabled)
:: just checked and I don't see any apps in any directory on the sd card
:::: so I just noticed this, I unplug the phone 20 minutes ago surf to this site, check the market and play some zelda on the snesoid. usually my display is number one on the battery usage meter by a long shot, I just looked at it and it is number three on the list at 13%, under android system and system standby. its been on the entire time the phone had been unplugged. that's a pleasant bonus from running CM I guess
as i started this thread asking people what they had done and all, i thought i'd post up my own experience.
rooted my phone earlier today and installed the sense ui. i have no intention of running this rom long term until it goes at least into beta, it's got far too many problems.
i don't know if this was my own mistake(this was my first time, total android n00b, as you guys have probably picked up from my other posts in the rooting section), but when i first installed the rom, i was stuck on the splash screen. it said that it installed fine, but it would sit on that splash for at least 20min. probably longer if i had let it. my first thought was that i had installed a corrupted rom, but when i wiped it and reinstalled the rom, i booted fine.
the only issues i've come across have been trying to use the nav, the gps never updates. haven't visited modaco to see if this is a known issue or not yet.
as far as what i don't like(and at this point i've only played with the sense ui for about 20-30m, so this list may grow) is the integration of twitter and facebook into the friendstream. nevermind that i don't want to see the two together, i don't want to be posting the same thing to twitter as i do to twitter. probably going to want to cook a custom rom and get rid of this.
i'll update this as i go.
Well, I am a complete rooting noob but I took the plunge late this morning.
After a few mistakes on my part & finally managed to complete the loading up of Cyanogen's latest stable ROM 126.96.36.199
Phone definitely seems quicker - the wired tether to the laptop, I am well chuffed about. I finally got the coloured notifications on the trackball to work, after a bit of effort (another wipes, reinstall & getting rid of Handcent).
Couple of things have happened that are a little disconcerting (force-closes on my RSS Reader) but nothing major. Hoping it will stabilise further as time goes on.
I did this last night, got Cyanogen latest build installed but notice most of the apps are removed. I was reading around about it and why they are remove, but couldn't figure a way to install the default apps.
Any suggestions on how to?
If you follow through the link from Cyanogen site to XDA developers, you will find the link to download the Google Apps zip file. Copy across to your SD card and install using the same method.
Ah okay, didn't notice that.
Actually one question I have. When it says to wipe, what specifically does that mean? I see 5 options on doing it.
Just do a factory wipe and cache wipe...
Cool, it is what I did. I just installed the ROM again and this time the app pack. Just reconfiguring everything now.
I flashed Caynogen 18.104.22.168 today....flashed for the first time..man, I
i think at this point i've put 4 different roms on in the last week, looking for something just right. at the end of the day, i really want sense. it's really the ultimate ui. cyans latest build is very nice and offers a lot of features, but ultimately its still 2.1. i think this week i'm going to start looking for some nice themes to try to make 2.1 a little bit more tolerable.
Paul's back, by the way. Said the next build of his Desire ROM will have a working 5MP camera plus flash and fix the missing apps in market.
Where did he say that? His twitter has been dead... and 1.1 remix enabled the flash... he needs to fix the text messaging!
Yeah, but he's also got flash working. I'm following his thread on xda.
I went back to the stock OEM after trying both the Desire and Cyanogen. Cyanogen being 2.1 was a step back and the features I wanted from Cyanogen didn't outweigh things multi touch in the browser. The MoDaCo Desire ROM was OK, the UI I thought was kind of OK but some things weren't as pretty as the stock Android UI, such as dialing. But everyone has their own preferences.
Cyanogen's ROM has had multi-touch in browser/map/gallery for a while now.
can you link me to that thread? i only have his modaco threads and there's nothing of interest there...
do you mean it was a step backwards to go from sense to 2.1? or that the cyan rom was a step back in of itself? sorry, just seems a bit unclear.
Here you go. He says flash works "95%" of the time. I'm down with that; my biggest issue was the 5MP thing.
I will perhaps try Modacos desire rom too, if it gets more stable, but only because of "flash"
but anyway, as it it all new for me..I love for ex. this one (cynaogen)

Blood-sucking ticks which can paralyse and kill humans with ONE bite invade UK
A DEADLY "super tick" capable of killing people or putting victims in a wheelchair has invaded Britain – and may already be living in your carpet.
Experts say a new breed of the quick-spreading brown dog tick is fast becoming a UK epidemic.
Their rapid growth as summer looms has been helped by our unusually warm winter.
Pest control firms say the parasitic bugs now here are variants from Europe – and bring with them a deadly threat to Brits.
Worringly, they now believe the critters – which carry potentially-fatal Lyme Disease – are currently breeding in thousands of UK homes.
"They are completely new to the UK"David Cross, pest expert at Rentokil
The tiny bugs can induce paralysis with one bite, leaving victims in wheelchairs and facing years of painful treatment.
The infection can lead to death.
Typically found in warmer climates, these are like regular ticks only a nastier, ramped-up version of the blood-suckers familiar to the British Isles.
Unlike the typical tick these nasties can survive inside for up to 18 months without feeding – sparking fears that they are already lying dormant in Brits' homes before coming out to feast this summer.
Female ticks can lay up to 4,000 eggs at time – usually in cracks or crevices in a house.
Pest control experts Rentokil told Daily Star Online they had been warned about an invasion of the new strain of critters in the UK.
David Cross, head of the company's Technical Training Academy explained it would be very difficult to control the bugs – as experts are still learning about how it survives.
He said: "The brown dog tick behaves very similarly to bedbugs but it can survive indoors.
"They are very new to the UK – we were alerted about them 12 to 18 months ago but they could already be here.
"It's hard to advise the public as we are still finding out more about the tick.
"However, traditional ticks found in Britain are usually picked up when people are walking their dogs or when sitting on the grass."
Mr Cross explained that the brown dog tick carries Lyme Disease – a bacterial infection that nestles in the nervous system and can cause brain and spinal cord inflammation – as well as frequent pain and paralysis.
And fears of an epidemic come as campaigners and sufferers gather outside Parliament Square today to protest the UK Government over a condition that is seeing 3,000 new cases a year in the UK.
The disease is so horrific it left one young woman begging to end her life.
Desperate Kirsty Keep, 23, wanted to undergo euthanasia at a clinic in Switzerland because her life has become so miserable after being bitten by a tick 11 years ago.
Model Gigi Hadid's mum has famously battled with the disease for several years.
The Dutch-American star – who was a model in her younger years – split from her music producer husband after her symptoms plagued their lives.
If you fancy nightmares tonight there are several stomach-churning videos of tick removals on the web.
Including one of the revolting moment a tick was plucked from deep inside a person's thigh.
The UK is already facing a potential epidemic of hideous bed bugs coming back to wreck UK homes.


text: I brined and smoked a 11.5 pound fresh turkey and it came out amazing. I used a lot of techniques found on this site and they were most helpful. I brined my turkey with just under a gallon of water then added two 16 oz frozen orange juice cans, a cup of kosher salt, Cinnamon, Chinese five spice and 3 oz of grated ginger. Then I added the turkey to a three gallon stainless pot and topped with water in order to cover the turkey with brine. I am guessing it was about a gallon and a half of water then the OJ on top of that. I followed the hour of brineing per pound and brined for 12 hours. Then I smoked with hickory for about 2 hours till the bird temperature was 140F and then cooked the rest with out wood chips. I used 2 pounds of small chips. My box thermometer read about 225-250 though out the cook. The turkey took just under 4.5 hours to reach 165F. I used a small cooking sheet from my toaster oven to catch the drippings and my GF's son turned it in to the best gravy I have ever tasted. It was a little too salty at first, but he cut it with a little bit of dark beer and it smoothed it out a great deal. The skin was a nice color but a little bit lighter than ones I have seen on here. I wish I took a picture of this. I did not spray it or baste it. The flavor was the best out of a turkey I have tasted. This beats my Grandmother's all to hell. I served it with my Grandmother's secrete recipe for cranberry sauce, which is conveniently located on the back of the Ocean Spray bag with a little bit of fresh orange juice, orange zest and Cinnamon. I made up some cornbread stuffing and fresh asparagus. The three of us ate like Royals. I plan on smoking a frozen 22 pound bird next. I am thinking with something this size I will have smoke for a few hours and then finish on direct heat on my gas grill. I will be looking to baste this one beings that it is an 8% injected solution one

As the Japanese yen continues to appreciate against the dollar, Toyota Motor Corp. will have to reduce production costs so that its exports would still be profitable, Executive Vice President Atsushi Niimi told The Wall Street Journal.
He calculates that if costs can be cut by about 20%, then the company will be able to "fully compete" even if the yen is valued at ¥80 to the dollar. Niimi said that by 2013, new models built in Japan would have to be competitive at that level.
Niimi clarified that if Toyota won't be able to cut production costs by then, it will have to think about shifting its production to another country. It can be recalled that Toyota made similar assertions when the Japanese currency was at 100 yen to the dollar, 95 yen to the dollar and 90 yen to the dollar.
Toyota CFO Satoshi Ozawa said last month that the carmaker may turn a profit at 85 yen to the dollar, but not if it drops further. Ozawa said that the current exchange rate of about 80 yen to the dollar mirrors the limit of continuing to have manufacturing in Japan.
Toyota is running about 17 plants in Japan, and the products make up about half of Toyota's global sales volume. But despite the dollar-yen exchange rate, Toyota President Akio Toyoda continues to be committed to manufacturing in Japan.
Last May, Toyoda said that he insists on having its production in Japan because he prioritizes the protection of the industrial base and employment base in Japan.

Son of Olympic legend Linford Christie in court for drug offences
THE son of Olympic gold medal sprinter Linford Christie has admitted possessing cocaine and heroin.
Liam Linford Oliver-Christie admitted possessing the drugs
Liam Linford Oliver-Christie, 29, was caught with £1,500 worth of the class A drugs under floorboards when police raided his Kensington home.
A police sniffer dog also helped to scout out drugs paraphernalia at the council flat.
The drugs haul included 14.1g of cocaine of 20-40 per cent purity and 841mg of heroin of 40-60 per cent proof.
He appeared at Isleworth Crown Court today to admit possessing the drugs but deny possessing the drugs with intent to supply.
The court accepted his pleas and the drug dealing charges are to lay on file.
Troubled Oliver-Christie was jailed for 15 months in August 2012 for 'turning a blind eye' to allowing his home to be turned into a drugs den.
Liam Linford Oliver-Christie has previously been jailed
Essentially the drug problem is now under control, he has sought voluntary help
He also admitted burglary in November 2002.
His father was not at court for the short hearing.
Linford Christie became a sporting hero in the Eighties and Nineties after winning gold in the 100 metre sprint in the Olympics, World Championships, European Championships and Commonwealth Games.
He was the first European to cross the finish line in less than 10 seconds and is still holds the title as the fastest man in Britain.
Oliver-Christie's lawyers said today he had worked hard to overcome a drugs habit.
Liam Linford Oliver-Christie's flat was raided
Emma Fenn, defending, said: "Essentially the drug problem is now under control, he has sought voluntary help."
She said Oliver-Christie had got his addictions under control through a "combination of family support and seeking help himself."
Oliver-Christie has had little contact with his father since early life after a relationship with his mother, former typist Yvonne Oliver, broke down.
Oliver-Christie will return to court on May 19 for sentence.

The ScandiPhone is based on the unique upright phone that was introduced in Europe in the mid 1950s. Smaller and lighter than anything available at the time, its unusual one piece design was a fine example of form and function in harmony. The push button version was introduced in 1967 and in 1973 the phone was selected to be part of the New York Museum of Modern Arts collection in recognition of its significance as a piece of good design in the 20th century.
It's little and it's lovely and you might remember the Princess Phone in your sister's bedroom or on your mother's desk. The Princess Phone was introduced in 1959 in response to a rapidly changing world where people wanted convenience and more than just a main phone in the hallway.
The Princess Phone was designed by Henry Dreyfuss, the prolific industrial designer. The Princess is compact, attractive and was originally available in a variety of pastel colours. With its rounded edges, sleek lines and fashionable styling it quickly become a household favourite and is just as popular today.
Wild and Wolf have re-introduced both the ScandiPhone and the Princess Phone, retails at £39.95 and £49.95 from Bloomsbury Store.

Learning To Cook Malaysia Food : Lazat Review
Travel is composed of three main areas for discovery. The people, the sights, and the food. Everything else can be grouped under these three categories. Of these categories, food is the most accessible. You don't even need to get on a plane to discover a regions food.
You are what you eat, and for me, understanding a regions food choices help me understand everything else about the area. Ever since my experience learning about the local delicacies at a cooking class in Thailand, I have actively sought out cooking classes when I travel.
When the lovely ladies at Lazat cooking school offered me a half price discount, I jumped at the opportunity. The food in Malaysia is a mix of the ethnic groups that make up the country – Malay, Chinese, and Indian – but despite Malay's being the majority of the population, most of the food I had eaten so far in Malaysia had been Chinese. (possibly related to the fact that my hostel is in China town) Lazat provided me with an opportunity not only to taste Malay food, but to learn about its history and to learn how to prepare it for myself.
The cooking school, run by the very charismatic Ana Abdullah, is located just outside the city, but close enough to one of the main metro lines to make in convenient to find. The school, which has been operating for four years now, offers a variety of different menu options, depending on which day you book.
The classroom is set up with a main display and teaching area, and several individual work stations. The preparation of each dish is demonstrated, followed by the students preparing it for themselves at the work stations. Everything is well laid out and easy for even the most incompetent in the kitchen to create amazing food.
Melanie and I went to the Saturday course, and therefore had menu C. Otak-otak (marinated fish in banana leaves), Chicken curry, Onde onde (a dessert), and Roti jala.
Otak-otak is cooked with many fragrant leaves and spices and was traditionally used to cover up the taste of slightly old fish. These days, with refrigeration, that isn't really a problem – but the recipe is so delicious that it stuck. Steamed in a banana leaf, it is not only delicious, but also aesthetically pleasing.
The chicken curry was divine – and we ate it with roti jani. Roti jani is a type of artistic pancake which is created using a special tool and rolled up for dipping. As a lover of all things curry, it is great to add something new to my repertoire.
Best of all though, was the dessert. The onde onde – glutinous rice flour balls filled with melted palm sugar and covered in fresh coconut.
By the end of the whole experience, we were all so full of delicious food that we could barely do anything for the rest of the day. But the food is only half of the experience – the warm and friendly staff really completed the experience for me. It is great to get together with local people and learn from them about their way of life and their culture – through the medium of food.
Armed with new knowledge and my complimentary cook book from Lazat – I am ready to take my skills back to New Zealand. I bet that James can't wait!

The latest edition of our newsletter looks at commmunities taking risks for peace.
Dr Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mohandas K. "Mahatma" Gandhi, today delivered an inspiring speech on peace and non-violence at a special lecture hosted by Ulster University at its Magee campus in Derry~Londonderry.
The visit was the first headline event to be hosted by the new John Hume and Thomas P. O'Neill Chair in Peace, Professor Brandon Hamber, which is funded by the International Fund for Ireland (IFI).
During his visit Dr Gandhi met with Ulster University students and staff as well as community leaders and special guests before sharing the lessons he learned while growing up in his grandfather's home in South Africa. He also reflected on the importance of learning for future generations to build and capture a culture of peace.
Dr Arun Gandhi's grandfather was India's legendary leader Mohandas K. "Mahatma" Gandhi. Mahatma was a political campaigner who fought for Indian independence and the rights of the Indian poor. He inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world by practising nonviolence and truth in all situations and advocated that others do the same.
John Hume and Thomas P. O'Neill Chair in Peace, Ulster University's Professor Brandon Hamber, said: "I am immensely proud to welcome Dr Arun Gandhi to Ulster University to share his grandfather's teachings of non-violence and his quest for peace.
"His visit is a huge endorsement of the University's international peace and conflict centre INCORE which is linked to the John Hume and Thomas P O'Neill Chair in Peace.
"Ulster University has pioneered research into peacebuilding and supporting communities through conflict since the 1970s and is frequently called upon to help build peace in conflict zones all over the world.
"As Chair I have ambitious plans to further the impact of Ulster University's work both locally and internationally and further enhance INCORE's reputation as a sustainable centre of international excellence in peace and conflict studies."
The John Hume and Thomas P. O'Neill Chair in Peace received £3 million financial support, including £1.4 million from the International Fund for Ireland. It honours Nobel peace prize winner and Ghandi prize for peace winner, John Hume, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Thomas P O'Neill, for their roles in advancing peace in Northern Ireland.
Chairman of the International Fund for Ireland, Dr Adrian Johnston, said:
"Polarisation and extremism have become acute global issues and Dr Gandhi's call for a culture of peace reflects the journey made by our communities and the lessons we can share on the international stage. In the John Hume and Thomas P. O'Neill Chair in Peace, we are supporting a timely contribution towards both local peacebuilding efforts and world leading research into conflict resolution.
"We are very fortunate to have someone of Prof Brandon Hamber's calibre take on this challenge and I wish him well in this exciting new role. I have no doubt that he will be in instrumental in sharing our experiences of peacebuilding with other regions emerging from conflict and influencing the next generation of peace builders."
The role of the Chair is to build upon the work of the International Conflict Research Institute (INCORE) headquartered at Ulster University's Magee campus in applying lessons from Northern Ireland's peace process to conflict zones and training the next generation of peacebuilders in Northern Ireland and across the world.

"The First Lady dabbled in astrology as far back as 1967. In 1981 [Joan] Quigley made Nancy [Reagan] a believer …. And from then on, no presidential public appearance was slated without the Friend's say-so. To this day, Nancy's Friend continues to influence the President's schedule. For the Reagan-Gorbachev Washington summit, she cast the charts of both men and determined
that 2 p.m. on Dec. 8, 1987, was the most propitious moment for them to sign the intermediate-range nuclear forces treaty. At Nancy's behest, the entire summit was built around that hour. For the upcoming Moscow summit, Gorbachev's chart (he is a Pisces) has been recast alongside Reagan's (Aquarius)."Astrology and the President
"[Former White House Chief of Staff, Donald] Regan and others make a compelling case that in 1986 and 1987 astrological influence dramatically reduced the presidency's effectiveness, at least partly, by keeping Ronald Reagan under wraps for much of the time. Nancy's intrusions in the scheduling process, Regan said in an interview with TIME last week, 'began to interfere with the normal conduct of the presidency.'"

text: I am going to break this post up using -- cuz it ended up being a long post. I ended up jumping on the Bandwagon yesterday morning when I got home from work. I downgraded then upgraded back to 2.2 w/ root! Here is a picture of my phone at the HBOOT area: (Sorry about the other forum spam in the background of the photo.) As you can see I did the UnrEVOked Forever install. I am currently running Fresh 126.96.36.199 and I have the newest Amon RA Recovery 1.8.0. ------------ I like the basic look of the Stock HTC Evo Rom, but after seeing some of the cool themes out. Their are bits and pieces of the themes that I want. Well honestly not much. I really want the Circle Green Battery but its not a full circle its broken up in to sections lol. Is it possible to just get these bits and pieces and flash them to use them? If so any idea where I can find bits and pieces of themes to flash? ------------ Radio's ------------ I do have sort of another question about the Radio's. I read you just download them and then use Amon RA Recovery and then just flash them. Is this how it is done? If so can I just place all of the Radio Flash files on my Root Drive and just keep them there? Also are their any programs I can use on my HTC Evo to figure out which Radio may be giving me a better signal n such? --------------------------------- Why I am Concerned about Radio's --------------------------------- I do not see many posts about the Radio's so I assume most people just grab the current one and then they call it a day. Here is my Problem: I live on the Border of Michigan and Canada. In my Evo Settings have have the Do Not Roam and No Data Roaming Checked on my phone. Because of this I quite often have no signal/bars on my phone. Why don't I just use Roaming? Well lets just put it this way after only a few days of use the Canada Data Roaming Charge is well over 30bucks extra. I contacted Sprint about this issue the only thing they ever tell me is pretty much "Sorry". So that's kind of why I keep posting about the Radio's. I am not worried about battery life if I can get a stronger signal. The main reason there is because my phone is always looking for a signal and going in and out of Service so much that it just drains the battery quick anyways. ------------------ Image file question ------------------ To do the Rooting process on the phone I had to get a file called: PC36IMG.zip This file is still sitting on the root of my phones SDCard. Should I take it off? When Exactly is the PC36IMG file used? Just when installing Roms? I guess I don't understand exactly what it does. ---------- I think thats all my questions/concerns for now. I will try and keep all my questions in this thread! Thank you all in advance for any/all help!

"What have engineers ever done for us?" asks Professor Brian Cox.
The particle physicist and TV science presenter is joking, invoking the famous Monty Python scene from the Life of Brian which saw Judaean revolutionaries ask themselves a similar question about the Romans. Apart from sanitation, medicine, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, not much, comes the answer.
Cox is one of a number of leading lights in science and engineering from around the globe who have just decided the winner of a £1m global prize for an exceptional advance in engineering that has "changed the world and benefited humanity".
One of the points of the prize is to raise the profile of engineers, who Cox clearly thinks are under-appreciated – which in turn is damaging Britain's prospects of rebalancing the economy.
"Engineering is the foundation of our economy. Almost £500bn is the gross value added of sectors where engineering is an important component – about a third of the economy – and yet there's a shortage of engineers. We'll need about 1m more scientists and engineers in the economy by 2020."
Cox was part of a judging panel, chaired by electrical engineer Lord Broers, who are hoping the inaugural Queen Elizabeth Engineering Prize, the first winner of which will be announced in London on Monday, can raise the profile of science and engineering as a driver of economic growth.
"I feel like I'm saying ridiculously simplistic things – of course science and engineering is the way to grow the economy. We professionals assume it's self evident that societies and economies are based on these pursuits so we don't bother making sure everybody understands that."
There was no official shortlist for the prize and details on some of the great inventions that were considered were scant ahead of Monday's announcement, but Cox says there was a huge list of candidates. "You could list a thousand innovations that have changed the world. Which says it all," he says.
There are around 550,000 engineering companies in Britain, who are facing a combined shortfall of engineers of 600,000 by 2017, according to campaigners Engineering UK. But like the prize, the engineering shortage is not parochial.
Professor John Hennessy, president at Stanford University, says the US has the "same problem" and identifies "deficiencies in science and maths education" as a good place to start when tackling the issue.
Diana Greene, a director at Google and another member of the judging panel, sees some "low hanging fruit" when tackling the shortage – women. "Given the worldwide shortage of engineers, and the fact that women have often not thought about it as a career, we have half of the population to cultivate and educate about the opportunities.
"Traditionally, they haven't seen the rewards of the profession and haven't been as interested in it. Engineering is evolving to be an ultimate tool for addressing the problems of the world in a cross disciplinary way – this is very appealing to talented women."
Paul Westbury, chief executive of British engineering consultancy Buro Happold, says industry has been "too inward for too long".
"We need to spend time talking about what we do as well as solving complex problems. Engineers are so successful about making the world work that everybody has forgotten about what we're doing."
The prize is funded by an endowment and will be awarded biennially to individuals or teams of up to three from anywhere in the world. It is hoped that it can become a "Nobel" for engineers.
The fund behind the prize, endowed by a number of engineering firms, is managed by a trust chaired by Lord Browne, past president of the Royal Academy of Engineering and former chief executive of BP.
One objective is to demonstrate to young people the prospects a career in engineering can hold.
"You can say to youngsters, show me another industry where at a very young age you can contribute to changing the world for the better," says Westbury.
Cox adds: "If you to say to children, what would you like to do when you grow up: would you like to build spaceships? They all go, yeah. Well there's a shortage of people doing that and the satellite industry is one of the great growth industries in the UK. Or, do you want to design mobile phones or software? Once you put into those terms you've got a roomful of kids who want to be engineers. They don't associate engineering with those things at the moment and don't think it's something they could do."
While there have been complaints that relatively low salaries in traditional engineering sectors are driving talented graduates towards financial services, Cox says the solution lies in creating a bigger pool of talent rather than complaining about one industry hiring more engineers than another.
"We have a large population of kids – if there's a shortage, the point is, make more highly educated people. That's within our gift as a society to do – spend more money on education, universities and vocational education. [Relatively] small amounts of money – single figure billions – can make a big difference."

Odds & Ends for February 22
Pot found in pants donated to charity
SUGARCREEK, Pa. (AP) — An act of charity might end badly for one donor to a Pennsylvania Salvation Army outlet.
Sugarcreek Borough police said they were called when workers found a large plastic bag of marijuana among some donated clothes.
Police Chief Matt Carlson suspects the owner of the drugs noticed them missing by now, if only because the bag contained a "substantial quantity" of pot.
Police were working with store employees to determine who donated the clothes and when. Police said the drugs were found earlier this week.
The chief said this isn't the first time officers investigated an unusual item among donated clothing, saying "we've had guns … cash … rings, and now marijuana."
Finns give reindeer antler makeovers
HELSINKI (AP) — Rudolph the reindeer is having a glittering antler makeover — the latest attempt to halt some of the thousands of road deaths of the roaming caribou in the wilds of Finland.
Anne Ollila of the Finnish Reindeer Herder's Association said the antlers of 20 reindeer were painted with various fluorescent dyes to see how the animals react and whether the paints are resistant to the harsh Arctic climate.
If successful, animals with glittering antlers will be free to roam Lapland — an area in northern Finland where herders tend to some 200,000 reindeer.
Ollila said reflectors and reflective tape proved unsuccessful as reindeer have torn them off. Road signs warning drivers often are stolen by tourists as souvenirs.

When toxoplasmosis is acquired during pregnancy, it can be transmitted to the fetus causing severe lesions in the first two gestational trimesters. This study analyzed the main factors associated with the preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis among pregnant adolescents in the city of Fortaleza in northeast Brazil.
It is a cross-sectional study conducted from March 2009 to November 2010, with a sample of 320 pregnant adolescents, ages ranging from 12 to 19 years old, receiving prenatal care in the Public Health Care System. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression model analyses were used to identify the association between preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis, and the independent variables and 95% confidence interval.
We observed that 16.3% of the pregnant adolescents showed preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis. The factors positively associated to the preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis were: age group between 12 and 14 years old (OR = 2.75; 95%CI 1.23-6.12) and more than two prenatal consultations (OR = 2.19; 95%CI 1.17-4.09).
Noteworthy is the importance of a serologic follow-up for pregnant adolescents with clearer and more precise information about risk factors and the importance of adopting preventive behaviors. Thus, it is necessary to establish educational measures for handling food and raising kittens during prenatal care.
When toxoplasmosis is acquired during pregnancy, it can be transmitted to the fetus causing more severe lesions in the first two gestational trimesters [1,2]. Clinical diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is difficult, considering that circa 90 to 95% of the infected pregnant women do not show any symptoms [3]. Although it results in side effects, the disease has been little studied in terms of its magnitude and importance. In some countries such as Brazil, toxoplasmosis is not a notifiable disease.
In Brazil, according to the technical Manual of the Qualified and Humanized Care for the Prenatal and Puerperal Periods [4], toxoplasmosis screening is recommended in the first prenatal consultation, whenever possible, through the detection of antibodies classified as IgG and IgM. IgG higher than 1:2048 implies the presence of active infection and it should be followed by IgM testing in paired serology. Stable and low IgG antibodies (1:2 to 1:500) can represent previous or persistent infection [5]. The treatment is instituted, for free, in the public health system [4,5]. However, it should be emphasized that even if the service does not provide the test, the health professional is not exempted from providing information about what the disease is, its transmission and preventive care. The main objective of the prenatal and puerperal care is to counsel the woman from the beginning of pregnancy, ensuring, in the end the birth of a healthy child as well as guaranteeing neonatal and maternal well-being [6].
The detection of specific IgM antibodies has been the most used marker for the serologic diagnosis of recent toxoplasmosis. However, the persistence of specific IgM antibodies in some patients and the use of tests with a low specificity have made the interpretation of the serologic results difficult when there is suspicion of toxoplasmosis [7] and may lead to errors in the diagnosis interpretation. The IgM test is considered an unacceptable false positive predictor to evaluate, during pregnancy, the diagnosis of the acute infection of toxoplasmosis [8], while the IgG serologic test contributes to the diagnosis of pregnant women, mainly through serum conversion studies [9].
The serologic diagnosis in pregnant adolescents can be obtained through the following tests: Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF); Enzyme-Linked Immunoabsorbent Assay (ELISA); Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA); IgG Avidity Assay and Sabin-Feldman Dye Test (DT); [10,11] Western Blot Reaction [10] and Immunoadsorption Combined with Agglutination (IgM-ISA) [12]. The IIF test can be used in IgG antibodies research [13]. The ELISA is a double antibody sandwich test similar to the IIF for IgM and IgG detection during the first trimester of pregnancy. The ELISA technique is used more because it has a greater sensibility and specificity than the IIF technique [11].
The Avidity Assay is recognized as the linking force between the specific IgG and the epitope of the protein Toxoplasma gondii. Besides identifying IgM antibodies in detectable patients, it is the most efficient technique to define the stage of the T. gondii infection [7,9]. This test has been used mainly in the acute toxoplasmosis diagnosis of the pregnant adolescent [14], identifying the most probable period of infection, differing the acute infections from the previous ones with only one serum sample [13,15]. Despite helping in the diagnosis of the recent and previous infection by the T. gondii, it is necessary to use a serologic tests panel for a more certain infection diagnosis [16].
In the USA, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend the adoption of individual measures in the primary prevention of toxoplasmosis in pregnancy, based on criteria related to the preventive behavior directed to food hygiene [17].
Most of the studies regarding toxoplasmosis in pregnancy in Brazil [18,19] and other countries [20-28], try to estimate the prevalence of the disease or infection and its determinant factors. As an example, we cite a study with 425 pregnant girls who were receiving prenatal care in basic health care units in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil which identified that 65% of the pregnant girls did not know about the disease, while most associated it with having cats as pets and less than one third of them associated it with the handling and the consumption of undercooked raw meats and raw vegetables [29]. However, the understanding of the preventive behavior regarding this disease in pregnancy can efficiently contribute to the creation of public policies in Public Health Care System, particularly in the adolescent woman's health area [30,31].
There have been few studies about the preventive behavior in pregnant adolescents. The published works deal with risk behaviors associated to toxoplasmosis in pregnant women [32,33]. Thus, this article analyzes the preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis and its determinants in the Public Health Care System among pregnant adolescents in the state of Ceara, Brazil. Ceara is the third state of the Northeast region of Brazil with 8.439.947 inhabitants, and with 61.9% of this population self-acknowledged as non-white, a Portuguese word for a mix of white, black and indigenous ethnicities. The population of the state is 86.5% catholic and the climate is hot and semi-arid [34].
A cross-sectional study was done from March 2009 to October 2010 with pregnant adolescents attended in the prenatal assistance program of the Public Health Care System in the city of Fortaleza, Brazil. Fortaleza is the capital of the state of Ceara, having 2.448.920 inhabitants and an 89.4% rate in relation to the years of formal educational [35]. The Public Health Care System of Fortaleza consists of 92 primary healthcare centers, one medical specialty center, one high-complexity hospital, ten medium-complexity hospitals, and 43 healthcare centers for collection of material for serological tests for toxoplasmosis, divided into six sanitary regions in Fortaleza [34].
For the pregnant adolescents sample size calculations, in the healthcare centers, we used an expected frequency of 50% of pregnant adolescents with preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis, a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 5%. Based on these criteria, the minimum expected sample calculated was 341 pregnant adolescents.
Six healthcare centers were selected, one center from each of the six sanitary regions in the city. Two more healthcare centers were included in the divisions which presented a greater number of prenatal consultations.
The pregnant adolescents selection was made through proportionate stratified sampling design. We performed a random poll with the pregnant adolescents registered in each healthcare center of the research to identify the adolescents who were surveyed.
The dependent variable was the preventive and non-preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis. According to the CDC guidelines [17], we considered having a preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis, the pregnant adolescents who matched all the following criteria: not eating undercooked or partially cooked meat weekly, washing fruits and vegetables by immersing them into water with sodium hypochlorite (bleach) before eating them, drinking water from the public water supply, not handling sand, not having kittens as pets, wearing gloves when cleaning the kittens' litter box, cleaning kitchen utensils (cutting boards, dishes, kitchen counters) and washing their hands with warm water and soap after handling raw meat and unwashed fruits and vegetables. The independent variables were: age group, marital status, religion, racial classification, studying, having a paid job, annual family income (US$), number of people living with the pregnant adolescent, first pregnancy, number of living children, gestational age at the first consultation, first consultation of the prenatal assistance, results of the IgG and IgM serology for toxoplasmosis.
The data was collected through a pre-codified and validated questionnaire. The research planning included a pilot study to define the most adequate way to collect the data in the selected services. Undergraduate students in the health care area were trained to identify and interview the study population. The pregnant adolescents was identified through the scheduled list of the initial laboratory tests or while waiting for prenatal assistance. Initially, she was invited to participate in the research and informed about the objectives and methodology of the study. After agreeing with it, the free and informed consent form was signed by the pregnant adolescent when older than 18 or by her parents or legal guardian when she was younger than 18. Then the researcher performed the interview and referred her for the serological test, in which the ELISA technique was used.
The data was stored using the statistical package Epi Info 3.5.1 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - CDC - Atlanta, Georgia, USA) and analyzed with the statistical package STATA® 11.0 (Stata Corp LP, College Station, TX 77845, USA). Chi square and Fischer's Exact test were used to analyze the preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis in respect to the independent variables. The differences were considered to be statistically significant with the significance level of 5%. The variable selection for the construction of the multivariate logistic regression model was based on the Stepwise process used to identify the possible variables that are predictors of preventive behavior. Adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated by multivariate analysis using logistic regression.
The research was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee of the University of Fortaleza under the No. 052/2008, according to the declaration of Helsinki.
Of the 341 pregnant adolescents surveyed, 21 were excluded from the study - ten who participated in the pilot study, five who refused to participate, four who were not assisted by their parents or someone responsible for them and two who gave up during the survey. Among the 320 pregnant adolescents who participated in the study only 12% were younger than 15 years of age; 60% were married; 66% declared a religion; racial classification of 76% was non-white, 58% did not study, and 11% had paid jobs. The annual family income varied between US$ 1,026.00 and US$ 102,600.00 and 65% of the families of these pregnant girls received less than US$ 5,436.00. The number of people living with the pregnant adolescent varied from one to 14 people with an average of 3.7 people.
The distribution of pregnant adolescents assisted in the prenatal care in the primary healthcare according to sociodemographic variables of the study is presented in Table Table1.1. The proportion of the pregnant adolescents according to the age group differs statistically regarding the marital status (p = 0.003) and religion (p = 0.010), while racial classification, studying, paid job, annual family income and number of people living with the pregnant adolescent do not differ between the two age groups. The adolescents ranged from 12 to 19 years of age.
The distribution of pregnant adolescents assisted in the prenatal care in the primary healthcare according to biological characteristics and prenatal assistance variables in the study, is presented in Table Table1.1. The proportion of pregnant adolescents according to age group does not differ statistically regarding the biological characteristics and prenatal care assistance. The distribution of pregnant adolescents according to the first pregnancy shows that 84.4% of them are primigestous. The frequency of living children among the adolescents who already had one child increased between both age groups, being 5% in the age group between 12 and 14 years old and 17% in the age group from 15 to 19 years old. The first trimester of the gestational age to start the prenatal care decreased from 55.6% (95%CI 39.2-71.0) in the age group between 12 and 14 years old to 48.8% (95%CI 42.9-54.6) in the age group from 15 to 19 years old. The first prenatal consultation was more frequent among the pregnant adolescents whose age ranged from 12 to 14 years old, coexisting with the decrease of the number of consultations among the pregnant adolescents with the age from 15 to 19 years old. The number of consultations during prenatal care varied between one and 14 prenatal care consultations and an average of 2.5 consultations. The frequency of positive IgG increased from 44.4% (95%CI 26.8-63.2) in pregnant adolescents from 12 to 14 years old to 45.4% (95%CI 38.4-52.6) in pregnant adolescents from 15 to 19 years old. The presence of positive IgM increased from 0%, in pregnant adolescents from 12 to 14 years old to 2.7% (95%CI 0.9-5.6) in pregnant adolescents from 15 to 19 years old.
Among 307 pregnant adolescents who were asked about preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis, we observed that 16.3% (50) of the pregnant adolescents showed preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis and 83.7% (257) did not show this behavior. Among 50 pregnant adolescents who were asked about preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis, 82.4% did not eat undercooked or partially cooked meat weekly, 15.1% washed fruits and vegetables by immersing them into water with sodium hypochlorite (bleach) before eating them, 92.2% drank water from the public water supply, 93.5% did not handle sand, 78.2% did not have kittens as pets, 25.0% wore gloves when cleaning the kittens' litter box and 9.4% washed kitchen utensils (cutting boards, dishes, kitchen counters) and hands with warm water and soap after handling raw meat, and unwashed fruits and vegetables.
Comparing the preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis among pregnant adolescents, through a bivariate analysis (Table (Table2),2), a positive association was verified with the age group between 12 and 14 years (OR = 2.61; 95%CI 1.06-6.04) and two or more prenatal consultations attended by the pregnant adolescents (OR = 2.11; 95%CI 1.09-4.10). No significant associations were found among the pregnant adolescents who were married, followed a religion, non-white racial classification, had an academic history studying, had a paid job, annual family income over US$5436.00, living with less than four people, first pregnancy, gestational age in the first trimester and with positive IgG.
After adjusting the model, the factors associated with a higher chance of occurrence of preventive behavior with statistical significance was the age group between 12 and 14 years old (OR = 2.75; 95%CI 1.23-6.12) and two or more prenatal consultations (OR = 2.19; 95%CI 1.17-4.09) (Table (Table33).
The factors positively associated to the preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis was the age group between 12 and 14 years old and two or more prenatal consultations. The preventive behavior may show a strong relation with eating habits, such as washing fruits and vegetables by immersing them into water with sodium hypochlorite (bleach) before eating them and cleaning kitchen utensils (cutting boards, dishes, kitchen counters), washing hands with warm water and soap after handling raw meat and unwashed fruits and vegetables and also having direct contact with kittens [36,37]. The data of our study and its cross-sectional methodological design are not enough to conclude what caused this association.
Unfortunately, we are not able to identify the hotspot of toxoplasmosis occurrence, because we did not study the patients from all the sanitary regions of Fortaleza. Indeed we included eight health services and four sanitary regions from the city.
The pregnant adolescents eat meat an average of 2.3 times a week. The preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis of the pregnant adolescents can be associated to eating changes that occur during pregnancy, involving subjective values essential to adolescence and pregnancy [38].
The behaviors of the pregnant adolescents to prevent toxoplasmosis in pregnancy are often associated to behavioral factors, such as, consumption of fresh and undercooked meat and raw vegetables (17.6%) and having kittens as pets (21.8%). This study was dissimilar to the findings of another study [18], which showed the consumption of these foods by 58.2% of the 127 pregnant girls who were studied. The contact with kittens is a factor associated with toxoplasmosis in pregnant adolescents [39,40].
In Northeast Brazil, particularly in the state of Ceara, two studies conducted with pregnant girls identified the consumption of homemade frozen sugar water in Brazil, known as "dindin" [41,42], implying that the contamination of the water used in the homemade preparation by oocysts is the most probable infection source. Thus, it is emphasized the importance of adequate treatment of water for human consumption, mainly in places where the water supply is not treated. The information about the correct freezing and boiling of water must be given to the pregnant women facing these situations in order to prevent a possible infection.
The adequate cleaning of kitchen utensils and washing of hands after having contact with raw meat and unwashed fruits and vegetables presented a low frequency, resulting in a higher risk of acquiring the T. gondii.
The prevalence (45.3%) of anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibodies observed in this study is similar to the results of positive IgG found in pregnant adolescents from some regions of Brazil, such as, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais; [43] Araraquara, state of São Paulo; [44] and Londrina, state of Paraná [45]. This finding differs from other studies done in Fortaleza, Ceara, which has a high prevalence of previous infections in pregnant adolescents (91.7%, from 12 to 15 years old and 63.5% from 16 to 18 years old) probably because Susan Sroka [42], the researcher, studied a sample of a maternity of reference in the state of Ceara. Our study group could be considered a primary health care population and not a hospital based group [42]. Thus, we must consider public health care programs that contemplate a systematic screening of pregnant adolescents and neonates for prevention, diagnosis and early treatment of the affected neonates, generally asymptomatic at birth and also stimulate preventive behaviors by the pregnant adolescent during prenatal care [46].
In Brazil, the serologic triage for toxoplasmosis is recommended in the first prenatal consultation, since it is available in the health care service, what is not usually performed in the primary health care, although the pregnant adolescents under 15 years old must be considered [47], according to the Ministry of Health guidelines, as a risky pregnancy. Considering this, they are directed to specialized services and some of them establish assistential guidelines for toxoplasmosis from the detection to the treatment [47].
The occurrence of five IgG and IgM seropositivity pregnant adolescents was similar to the results found in another study. As a new serology and IgG Avidity Assay Tests were not performed, the interpretation of IgM results had to be cautious in order to avoid the exposure of the mother and fetus to unnecessary procedures [48], showing the importance of the diagnostic confirmation. The Avidity Assay was not performed because this study does not perform serum prevalence analysis.
The importance of a serologic follow-up for the pregnant adolescents with clearer and precise information about the risk factors and the importance of adopting preventive behaviors, is noteworthy. Thus, it is necessary to establish more global preventive measures considering social, economic and cultural matters.
The high percentage of pregnant adolescents with non-preventive behavior stands out, which shows the lack of information about preventive care. We add to this the greater proportion of low family income and little formal schooling among the pregnant adolescents observed in the study that can contribute to increase the risk for infection and contamination of the fetus. It has been estimated that the number of pregnant adolescents in specialized hospitals is increasing.
Moreover, it is understood that the information regarding preventive measures for toxoplasmosis are not exclusive to health professionals. But include a set of actions developed by global public policies of health and education, along with the professional training on the study theme.
We concluded that there is a strong association between younger pregnant adolescents who had more prenatal consultations and the preventive behavior for toxoplasmosis in pregnant adolescents assisted in primary health care in the city of Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. The importance of a serologic follow-up for the pregnant adolescents with clearer and precise information about the risk factors and the importance of adopting preventive behaviors, is noteworthy. Thus, it is necessary to establish educational measures for food-handling and raising kittens during prenatal care although more global preventive measures can be implemented, considering social, economic and cultural matters.
Moreover, it is understood that the information about preventive measures for toxoplasmosis are not exclusive to health professionals, but include a number of actions with the inclusion of this appeal to the list of compulsory notifications, together with the health professional training on the study theme.

In fact I have been thinking (aka, for me, praying) about it a lot lately. In fact it was keeping me awake last week. You love anything electronic and would like to spend all day every day glued to one screen or another. It's how it is has always been--which is one of the reasons I desperately wanted a yard because I thought it would help you desire to go outside and enjoy the marvels of the great outdoors.
So, we made some changes this week. We have focused on things that you need to get done before you can play electronic devices.
Things like:
|Picking up Toys.
|Setting/clearing the table
Taking out the garbage and sweeping/vacuuming and mopping the floor.
|Making your bed.
Love ya! You are so capable and I know that you can do hard things. Working may or may not be considered one of those things, but I want to be sure that you can work hard when you are grown up and do not expect other people to do everything for you, or what people today call entitled adults. You will be one of those people that are quickly hired because you have a reputation of your commitment to professional and quality of work.

good speed and 4 gb memory with reasonable price compared to other cards and outperforms some of the competitors at about the same price. the card should run most games out there without problems when paired with a good system but probably not all max resolution and settings. there are better cards out there for the hardcore gamers but for a low budget this card still performs well with relatively high speed and has the new pascal architecture like the other cards in the 1000 series. should be good for most week end gamers out there. the card is also a small size which is nice for cooling and small cases.
