It's no secret that wireless carriers want the iPhone on their networks, and until last year if you wanted an iPhone in the U.S., AT&T was your only official choice.
However 2011 brought us the CDMA iPhone 4 for Verizon, and later on the iPhone 4S was released with full support for GSM along with CDMA, allowing carriers like Sprint to begin offering the device as well.
But T-Mobile USA has yet to bring the iPhone to their network in any official capacity, in part because their 3G network uses a different radio frequency band than AT&T and the rest of the world, one that current iPhone hardware does not support.
Unlocked iPhone owners will be quite familiar with this limitation, as unlocked devices built for AT&T's network will fall back to 2G EDGE service when used with a T-Mobile USA sim card. Read more

I was elected as Indiana's chief education officer to be an advocate for public education. I have the duty to coordinate education policy, and serve as a check and balance to Governor Pence and the State Board of Education.
The resolution that brought today's meeting to a halt, confirms what I said yesterday in a letter to the editor. Governor Pence, through his newly created education agency, the Center for Education and Career Innovation (CECI), is undermining the exceptional work done every day by the Department of Education.
As you are all now aware, this is causing unnecessary conflict in education, which does nothing to serve Indiana's children.
Let me be clear. The resolution that brought today's meeting to a halt was written by CECI staff and it improperly inserted State Board of Education staff, working for the Governor's new education agency, to take over the academic standards review process.
Indiana law is clear. The process of evaluating academic standards is the responsibility of the Department of Education. After that review, the academic standards go to the Education Roundtable and finally to the State Board for adoption. The resolution was ruled improper because it used CECI staff in a manner that violates Indiana law.
I have said previously that I will not tolerate violations of the law, be they open door violations or improper motions. The public demands nothing less.
I have requested an advisory opinion from the Attorney General on the improper motion that was brought during today's meeting. I look forward to receiving his opinion and continuing to work with all Hoosiers to strengthen public education for our children.
Thankfully, there were some good things that came from today's meeting. We took an important first step towards overhauling our broken A-F system. I also felt like members of the Board were engaging in substantive debate. Unfortunately, the improper resolution brought all of that to a halt.
I gave the board multiple opportunities to fix their resolution and make it legal. I then suggested that the improper resolution be tabled while we consult with the Attorney General. Unfortunately, certain members of the Board refused any compromise.
The conduct of some members and the Governor's CECI staff made it impossible for us to move forward with our business. Because of this, I was left with no choice but to adjourn the meeting.

About the Partners
The SEEI represented a broad collaboration of researchers from throughout the province, as well as stakeholders from many organizations, including:
- Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario
- Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
- Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care
- Ontario Federation of Community Mental Health and Addiction Programs
- Ontario Mental Health Foundation

Moving in the Right Direction: SEEI Final Report
The final report for the Systems Enhancement Evaluation Initiative (SEEI) provides a high level summary of the results of the SEEI, a four-year initiative to evaluate the effects of the $167 million dollar government investment in Ontario's community mental health system.
Results show that the new funds have made a significant difference in a variety of ways and that Ontario's community mental health system is moving in the right direction.
Some of the key messages that the report highlights and expands upon are as follows:
- Programs substantially increased the number of clients they were able to serve. However, the newly enhanced community mental health system still does not have the capacity to serve all those in need.
- Clients of newly-enhanced programs experienced a range of positive outcomes.
- New funds were used to innovate and develop more efficient and effective program-level services.
- System integration was expanded and improved when funds were targeted specifically towards integration activities.
- Matching the level of care that client's need with the level they receive has improved. There are, however, still many people receiving less than recommended levels of care.

Steven Fletcher: we ask the Sunderland star 'Just How Scottish Are You?' by Aaron› 30 Aug 2013
Last week we revealed the exciting news that Sunderland and Scotland striker Steven Fletcher will be wearing Umbro Geometra boots when he steps onto the pitch this season. Now, with Steven close to a return, we thought it was a great time to sit down with him and find out a little bit more about his ambitions for the season, his hopes for Scotland and just who he'd like to invite to his own version of Come Dine With Me.
Alongside that, we also did some serious investigation. In our research, we discovered that although Steven sounds as Scottish as the Forth Road Bridge, he was in fact born in England. So, we thought that it was our duty to investigate this and to find out just how Scottish he is, with the help of some tricky questions.
As you can see in the video here, Steven might not have got all of them right, but we're willing to let him off and accept him as a true Scot. We're also sure that, if he continues to bang in the goals for both Scotland and Sunderland, the fans won't mind one bit!
Thanks again to Steven for taking the time to speak to us and answer our daft questions. If you're struggling to interpret his Glaswegian accent, we've also transcribed the video for you below.
We hear that you're a keen chef. Who would you invite on your episode of Come Dine With Me?
SF: 'You've got to have a good mixture, I'd have to have Big Duncan Ferguson for a bit of banter, and in case anyone steps out of line he can jump in. Razor Ruddock, that'd be a good chat between them two, wouldn't it! And then Gazza, just for a bit of banter again. That's an interesting group, that'd be a good dinner party that, wouldn't it?"
Is it true that Real Madrid were once interested in signing you?
SF: 'Na, I don't think so. That was the first time I'd heard it when I saw it in the paper. But I got a bit of stick rather than anything else for that, I had a few pictures on my locker of me with a Real Madrid strip on. Not the best part of my career, even though it was flattering for them to even mention me.'
Does signing for a new club for big money put extra pressure on you?
SF: 'I don't really let it affect me, I know people try to make it affect you by bringing it up quite a lot when you first sign for a club, but I kind of put that to bed in my first few games at Sunderland by scoring a few goals, and may it continue.'
What difference has Paulo Di Canio and the new signings made at Sunderland?
SF: 'He's exactly as you see, what you see is what you get with him. He's very enthusiastic on the side of the pitch in games, and he's the same in training.
I think we needed to add a few new faces to the team, just to change it up a bit from last season, and I think the boys that the gaffer has brought in have been good additions, there's a good atmosphere around the club just now.
I think we did need to add a striker and we have with Jozey (Altadore), he's a good player and I knew him before he came to the club, so it's good he's come. It's good to have a bit of competition.'
How does it feel to be back involved with Scotland?
SF: 'I'm looking forward to getting a good few caps under my belt, because I've missed a couple of years. I just want to get as many caps as I can now, and hopefully get a few goals along the way.'
What do you think the squad can achieve under Gordon Strachan?
SF: 'I think we took a lot of positives out of the England campaign, I think this campaign is over for us now, but if we can pick up a few good results and then take all of that into the next campaign, then hopefully we can make a big championship soon.'
You were born in England but raised in Scotland, so exactly How Scottish Are You?
SF: 'I'm English….'
Can you name the two brothers in The Proclaimers?
SF: 'I sang '500 Miles' as well, so I can't believe that I can't remember their names. They actually look a bit like him actually, don't they? It's Craig and Charlie by the way.'
When was the last time you had haggis?
SF: 'About two weeks ago actually – it wasn't traditional but my missus's mum made it for me. It was chicken stuffed with haggis, it was nice.'
What's the difference between a roll with sausage and a sausage roll?
SF: 'A sausage roll is something you get from Greggs, and a roll with sausage is a roll with some sausage in it. I'm from Glasgow, that's why I knew that one!'
Do you know what Cock-A-Leekie is?
SF: 'Where are you getting these questions from?!'
Who did Robert Carlyle play in Trainspotting?
SF: 'How do I not know this?'
Who is the greatest living Scotsman – Sean Connery or Rod Stewart?
SF: 'Personally I'd say Rod Stewart.'
What is Irn Bru made from?
SF: 'Girders – you love that don't you, because of the way we say that!'

Olympic Chit Chat Day 1 Recap
February 13 2010 12:50PM
Per the demands of such luminaries as Archaeologuy and RossCreek "(Make) and a daily general Olympic blog ... then those who don't really care don't have to read through a bunch of comments they otherwise wouldn't." Your wish is our command: here is your very first OCC article for these here Olympiads.
Don't let it be said that we can't turn on a dime here at the Nation and deliver what you ask for. It's like that time the Nations turned into that LOST chat room for several days back in June 2009. Weren't those heady days? What was the smoke monster doing in Kate's tent? We never did find out did we? Huh? HUH?
*nudge, nudge*
Because real life (read: the depressing NHL seasons in Edmonton and Calgary) will continue during these here games, we will toss up an OCC every day for people to dissect the latest Pairs Figure Skating scandal or what have you. Those who want to talk about the Canadian Men's Ice Hockey Games will be able to on OGDBs which will launch game days.
Everyone who wants to talk strictly NHL Ice Hockey play will also be able to get their fill as all the writers will continue to write about whatever the hell they want on any given day.
Which includes us too, and we wuv the Owympics:
Now we don't have the brains of a TSN analyst crew, descending on the games in 45 black Apache Helicopters fyling in perfect formation and invisible on Radar. And we certainly don't have the opposible thumbs required to do any actual research into what is happening in any other sport save the Men's Ice Hockey. But we do watch an incredible amount of Olympic Coverage and we do like to yell and scream on the interwebs.
As such we will start out the Olympic conversation each day with some light hearted observances and sharp criticisms of what we have seen.
We will start out with sincere condolences to the entire Games and the Republic of Georgia over the death of Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili. That is just a horrific crash and we really have to wonder if it has been necessary to show the footage over and over on all of the TV networks.
To us, this is a terrible accident in a sport that seems mind bogglingly dangerous for all involved. The fact we have seen footage of the crash a half dozen times since is disrespectful to the memory of Kumaritashvili and to the Republic of Georgia, not to mention the other Lugers who probably fly down the track on the edge of sanity to begin with.
On a lighter note, these Opening Ceremonies couldn't have been more hilarious. Technical failures, the best entertainers Canada has to offer awkwardly dragged on stage using their Patriotism as a leash, random people running along side Gretzky in the back of a truck while he wondered "how on earth did I find something more demeaning to do than Coach the Coyotes?"
It was just grand in our opinion. Between all of the hilariousnessity we thought the ceremony was actually quite wonderful. We don't get to see Canadians being Patriotic more than once or twice every 4 years, so seeing the Flags come out warmed the very cockles of our heart.
It has been great to settle back into the Olympic TV watching routine that we last dusted off back in 2006. Our day has been filled with "Normal Jump" ski jumping so far. We have already become an instant expert, thumbing our nose at anything less than a 105 metre jump and laughing heartily at anyone who isn't part of the juggernaut Swiss program. Especially the Austrians and their awful 102 metre jumping.
What is this? The World Championship qualifiers back in '09? Just wait till the top 15 arrive on the scene, well rested from their bye in the Qualifying round.
Then you'll see some action.
As a final query: Who's bright idea was it to throw the Greatest Canadian since John A MacDonald into the back of a white GMC fleet pickup truck, drive him to Whistler and back while he was deluged with driving rain while trying to look happy and wave to the dozens of fans who lined his 1,678 km route to light the outdoor torch?
Poor Wayne, he always is put through hell by people. For the millionth time in our lives we salute you again Sir.
I think Oilympic announcers have to take a physiology course called "Lactic Acid and its Many Functions." And nothing else.
Anything else going on inside that body?
Hey, the starter gun is a laser pistol! More like, 2100 Vancouver Oilympics. I crack me up.
Props, Jenn Heil. Props.
Props to the American girl too, that was a great run. *grumble mumble stupid Americans ...*
Those marshmallow chairs they make them sit in are hilarious. Just chilling in third until someone beats you, then it's all "you are the weakest link," gtfo.

A dream became a realty on Jan. 4 as Troy Huntsman of Huntsman Motors in Huntington cut the ribbon for the ground opening of his Huntsman Autoplex. The autoplex features am 8,500 square foot facility. The facility will sell vehicles as well as maintain them. The shop also features auto detailing, oil changes and routine maintenance. During the month of January the Huntsmans will continue to celebrate. The first 32 vehicle buyers will all receive a 32 inch TV just in time for the SuperBowl. Anyone who tours the new facility will get their name in for a drawing for a 32" inch TV and other prizes. The winner will be announced on Jan. 31 at 5:30 p.m. and you must be present to win.
Troy shared a bit of his history recently at an economic summit. He told of working in Orem at Washburn Motors selling cars when he decided he wanted to open his own car dealership.
After taking out a second mortgage on his home, he opened his own car lot. He began to realize that many of his customers were from the Emery/Carbon county area. This prompted him to consider coming home and trying a car dealership in Emery County.
"The national average says people buy a car every two-five years so I figured I could make it work. We moved home in 2000 and got started. Wow what a road this has been. We had a dream two years ago to make a change and build a new building. We got out paper, pencil and ruler and began to draw our dreams," said Huntsman.
"We drew up a little plan knowing our dream was just a dream. We began to look at avenues for financing. The road has been a long traveled road. I would do it again. I promise your dreams can come true. Keep on keeping on to make it anywhere," said Huntsman.
If you haven't been by to see the new facility you owe it to yourself to stop by and take a look at Troy's dream.

The fire that started on Seeley Mountain in Emery County yesterday has now burned into Carbon County and officials are planning evacuations because of the danger.
"We are ordering mandatory evacuations of Clear Creek, Hiawatha and Wattis right now," said Jason Llewellyn, the Emergency Services Director for Carbon County at 6:30 a.m. "Scofield is on volunteer evacuation, but that will probably be mandatory soon."
The county is setting up a command post at the county intake building and is activating the emergency communications center at the ambulance garage too.
The fire started out yesterday very small, but it grew much large because of low humidity, high winds and high temperatures.
All citizens are urged to keep calm and more releases will be coming from the county concerning the situation on a regular basis.
Watch the Sun Advocate web site for more information as the situation progresses.

EAC maintains the National Mail Voter Registration Form, which voters can use to register to vote and update their registration information. The form is available in seven languages.
EAC also provides voter guides in 11 languages and a variety of links to helpful resources for voters relating to registration, military and overseas voting, accessibility, and volunteering as a poll worker.
HAVA mandates that EAC accredit voting system test laboratories and certify voting equipment, marking the first time the federal government has offered these services to the states.
EAC is committed to running the program in a transparent manner, releasing voting system test plans and reports for the public to review and posting detailed information about the voluntary voting system guidelines, program policies, and related correspondence.
One of EAC's top priorities is providing assistance to election officials. We do this by issuing guidance, advisories and best practices to help officials comply with the Help America Vote Act and make other election administration improvements and enhancements.
EAC administers federal funding to improve the administration of U.S. elections as authorized by the Help America Vote Act. The commission also manages discretionary, competitive grant programs authorized by HAVA, including the HAVA College Program to recruit college students to serve as poll workers and the HAVA Mock Election Program, which supports activities to educate secondary students in the electoral process.
EAC is responsible under the Help America Vote Act for collecting information about election administration issues and sharing that information with Congress, election officials and the public.
This section contains completed research and reports commissioned by EAC, information about EAC research in progress, and additional elections research issued by other organizations. Datasets are also available to download.
Voters can use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update registration information due to a change of name, make a change of address, or register with a political party.
The National Form also contains voter registration rules and regulations for each state and territory. For more information about registering to vote, contact your state election office. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the national form.
Use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update your registration information with a new name or address, or register with a political party.

Proposed Changes to the Regulations Pertaining to the NVRA as Outlined in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
NVRA Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: Extended Comment Period (For complete information, see the NVRA Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.)
The U. S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) seeks comments on proposed changes to its regulations pertaining to the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA). Section 9(a) of the NVRA requires the responsible agency to issue regulations for developing a national mail voter registration form and for submitting a biennial report to Congress on the impact of the NVRA. EAC proposes to amend its NVRA regulations to ensure that they are consistent with the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) and to make some technical amendments. EAC also invites public comments on additional changes to the NVRA regulations to improve voter registration through the content and format of the Federal form and to change the date by which States are required to submit data to EAC for use in the biennial report to Congress on the impact of the NVRA. EAC will not make any changes to the NVRA regulations until after the November 2010 Federal election. EAC anticipates issuing a final rule pertaining to the regulations necessitated by HAVA. EAC may also issue new regulations about the content and format of the Federal form and the biennial report to Congress based on the comments it receives on the topics discussed in Section VI either in the same final rule or in a separate final rule.
DATES: Comments must be received no later than 5 P.M. EST on November 23, 2010.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number EAC-2010-0025, by any of the following methods:

Texas Government Code, Chapter 552, gives you the right to access government records; and an officer for public information and the officer's agent may not ask why you want them. All government information is presumed to be available to the public. Certain exceptions may apply to the disclosure of the information. TxDMV shall promptly release requested information that is not confidential by law, either constitutional, statutory, or by judicial decision, or information for which an exception to disclosure has not been sought.
Rights of Requestors
You have the right to:
- Prompt access to information that is not confidential or otherwise protected;
- Receive treatment equal to all other requestors, including accommodation in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements;
- Receive certain kinds of information without exceptions, like the voting record of public officials, and other information;
- Receive a written itemized statement of estimated charges, when charges will exceed $40, in advance of work being started and opportunity to modify the request in response to the itemized statement;
- Choose whether to inspect the requested information (most often at no charge), receive copies of the information or both;
- A waiver or reduction of charges if TxDMV determines that access to the information primarily benefits the general public;
- Receive a copy of the communication from TxDMV asking the Office of the Attorney General for a ruling on whether the information can be withheld under one of the accepted exceptions, or if the communication discloses the requested information, a redacted copy;
- Lodge a written complaint about overcharges for public information with the Office of the Attorney General. Complaints of other possible violations may be filed with the Travis county or district attorney. If the complaint is against the county or district attorney, the complaint must be filed with the Office of the Attorney General.
Responsibilities of TxDMV
In responding to information requests, TxDMV has the responsibility to:
- Establish reasonable procedures for inspecting or copying public information and inform requestors of these procedures;
- Treat all requestors uniformly and shall give to the requestor all reasonable comfort and facility, including accommodation in accordance with ADA requirements;
- Be informed about open records laws and educate employees on the requirements of those laws;
- Inform requestors of the estimated charges greater than $40 and any changes in the estimates above 20 percent of the original estimate, and confirm that the requestor accepts the charges, or has amended the request, in writing before finalizing the request;
- Inform the requestor if the information cannot be provided promptly and set a date and time to provide it within a reasonable time;
- Request a ruling from the Office of the Attorney General regarding any information TxDMV wishes to withhold, and send a copy of the request for ruling, or a redacted copy, to the requestor;
- Segregate public information from information that may be withheld and provide that public information promptly;
- Make a good faith attempt to inform third parties when their proprietary information is being requested from TxDMV;
- Respond in writing to all written communications from the Office of the Attorney General regarding charges for the information. Respond to the Office of the Attorney General regarding complaints about violations of the Act.
How to Obtain Information
- Submit a request by mail, fax, email or in person according to TxDMV's reasonable procedures.
- Include enough description and detail about the information request to enable TxDMV to accurately identify and locate the information requested.
- Cooperate with TxDMV's reasonable efforts to clarify the type or amount of information requested.
Processing Time
You may review the information you request promptly, and if it cannot be produced within 10 working days, TxDMV will notify you in writing of the reasonable date and time when the information will be available.
Please keep all appointments to inspect records and to pick up copies. Failure to keep appointments may result in losing the opportunity to inspect the information at the time requested.
Cost of Records
You must respond to any written estimate of charges within 10 days of the date TxDMV sent it or the request will be considered automatically withdrawn.
If estimated costs exceed $100.00, TxDMV may require a bond, prepayment or deposit.
You may ask TxDMV to determine whether providing the information primarily benefits the general public, resulting in a waiver or a reduction of charges.
Please make a timely payment for all mutually agreed charges. TxDMV can demand payment of overdue balances exceeding $100.00, or obtain a security deposit, before processing additional requests from you.
If your request pertains to information that may be withheld due to an exception, by the 10th business day after TxDMV requests your written request, we will:
- Request an Attorney General opinion and state which exceptions apply;
- Notify the requestor of the referral to the Attorney General; and
- Notify third parties if the request involves their proprietary information.
Failure to request an Attorney General opinion and notify you within 10 business days will result in a presumption that the information is open unless there is a compelling reason to withhold it.
Requestors may send a letter to the Attorney General arguing for the release of the requested information, and may review arguments made by TxDMV. If the arguments disclose the requested information, the requestor may obtain a redacted copy.
The Attorney General must issue a decision no later than the 45th working day from the day after the Attorney General received the request for a decision. The Attorney General may request an additional 10 working day extension.
TxDMV may not ask the Attorney General to "reconsider" an opinion.
For complaints regarding failure to release public information please contact your local County or District Attorney. In Travis County, you may contact the County Attorney at (512) 854-9415 or the District Attorney at (512) 854-9400.

|In response to Re: remove old tub
The old tub is very heavy. Go to the local Home Depot and find some "day labor" guys hanging around who will work for cash pay. Take then to the house and have them cart the tub outside. You'll need four strong guys, and tell them before you take them there that they'll have to work together and not mess up your walls or paint, and you'll pay them each 15 dollars per hour. They'll have it done in an hour. The local antique shop will buy it off you for twenty dollars.
There are LOTS of pretty wall surrounds that can be adapted to a tub. Go to the local Kitchen Tub and tile place for glorious ideas.
