OBJECTIVE: This study determined the prevalence of clinical abnormalities in chest radiographs and its relationship with decision-making in intensive care.
METHODS: This prospective cohort study involved nonconsecutive patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit at the Hospital Universitário Professor Polydoro Ernani de São Thiago of the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Imaging tests in the intensive care unit (ICU) were assessed daily between February and May 2011 and divided according to the reason for hospitalization, the type of test requested, anatomical segment under assessment and the purpose of the request. The imaging tests were interpreted by intensivists and subsequently divided according to the detected abnormalities and changes in medical care. The chi-squared test was used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS: The study sample included 106 patients. A total of 447 imaging tests were assessed, 425 of which were anteroposterior chest radiographs. An average of 4.01 radiographs per patient was obtained. Among the requested radiographs, 79.3% were normal, and 35.2% of abnormal radiographs did not prompt changes in medical care.
CONCLUSION: Most of the radiographs performed in the intensive care unit exhibited no statistically significant clinical alterations, and the radiographs that revealed abnormalities did not necessarily lead to changes in medical care.
Keywords: Intensive care; Chest radiography; Routine diagnostic tests
Intensive care units (ICU) use imaging tests for the complementary diagnostic evaluation of admitted patients, the post-acute event monitoring of tubes and catheters after procedures, and daily monitoring. As with any medical procedure, the potential benefits to the patient must be weighed against the risks of a particular examination. Patients who are admitted to the ICU exhibit particular characteristics, including confinement to the bed and the inability to assume postures for specific radiographic positioning. In addition, patient transportation to the radiology service requires planning and human resources and generates additional risk.(1-3)
The advantages and disadvantages of the imaging methods that are requested should be weighed, and whether the results may change the established medical care should be considered. The factors influencing the decision to order imaging and other tests in the ICU includes the clinical complexity of the case, the ease of performing the test, and the subjectivity of the attending physician for routine clinical or academic purposes.(4) A consensus on the indications for chest radiographs in an ICU covers a variety of situations.
Studies of the number of chest radiographs in an ICU, which are the majority of requested imaging tests requested, have revealed no statistical relationship to justify daily radiographs in critical patients, regardless of the severity of the clinical condition.(5-10) Therefore, requests for diagnostic tests should be based on clinical justifications and the possibility that the test results would change established medical care.
The present study assessed the performance of routine chest radiographs on patients who were admitted to the ICU at the Hospital Universitário Professor Polydoro Ernani de São Thiago of the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (HU/UFSC) and verified the relevance of radiographic findings in decision-making in the ICU.
A prospective cohort study of nonconsecutive patients who were admitted to the ICU of the HU/UFSC and underwent imaging tests was conducted between January 31 and May 13, 2011, following approval by the UFSC's Ethics Committee on Human Research. The ICU had 10 beds and treated adult clinical and surgical patients, but not polytrauma and postoperative cardiac surgical patients. The type and number of imaging tests that were performed on each patient was verified on weekdays during the data collection period. Tests that were performed on weekends and holidays were not collected immediately but were cataloged on the first subsequent working day.
The patients or their legal representatives signed the informed consent form. The reason for patient admission into the ICU was identified, and the test results were cataloged. ICU admission reasons were divided into groups according to the patient's main therapeutic requirement: Group 1: hemodynamic support; Group 2: mechanical ventilation; Group 3: monitoring during the postoperative period of elective surgeries with no clinical indication for ICU assistance, but who were referred to the unit due to surgical risk. The following tests were assessed: regular radiographs, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and ultrasounds. The following categories of anatomical segments were assessed: head and neck, thorax, abdomen and pelvis, and limbs. The reasons for the tests were defined as diagnostic investigation, monitoring after a procedure (e.g., intubation, tracheostomy, insertion of nasoenteral or nasogastric tubes, and central venous access), ICU admission checking, routine with no specific clinical indication, and the monitoring of mechanical ventilation. The indication noted on the standard diagnostic test ordering form at the HU/UFSC under the "clinical indication" field were allocated into the aforementioned categories.
The information in the patient's records, which was recorded by the attending physician, was considered for the categorization of imaging tests according to the detected abnormalities, and radiological reports were not consulted directly. Alterations were classified as pulmonary and pleural abnormalities (e.g., parenchymal consolidations, infiltrates, atelectasis, pleural effusion and pneumothorax) or alterations in devices (e.g., selective bronchial intubation with endotracheal tubes, bent tubes, and malpositioned venous accesses). A category was also created for when the attending physician reported no abnormalities in test results.
The imaging tests were classified according to changes or the maintenance of medical conduct based on the obtained results. Changes in medical conduct were assessed according to clinical progress or the medical prescriptions that were recorded in the patient's records. This conduct was classified as pharmacological (administration of vasoactive or inotropic drugs, adjustments in sedoanalgesia, antimicrobial therapy and intravenous hydration) or ventilatory (adjustments in mechanical ventilation parameters). Tests that did not lead to changes in medical conduct were allocated in an independent group.
Chi-squared and Student's t tests were applied for statistical analysis using StatCalc software.
A total of 173 patients were admitted to the ICU at the HU/UFSC during the study period. Sixty-seven of these patients were not included in the study because they were admitted on weekends and holidays, or they spent less than 1 day in the ICU.
The sample included 106 patients (51.9% male) who were subjected to 447 imaging tests. Table 1 presents the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients whose test results were assessed in the present study. The patients had a mean age of 54.4 years (range 18 to 88 years, standard deviation - SD=17.45). Hospital mortality was 34.9%. Thirty-seven patients from the study sample died (mean age of 61.5 years). The mean age of patients who were discharged from the ICU was 50.5 years (p=0.001). Table 1 also illustrates that hemodynamic support and mechanical ventilation were the most common reasons for ICU admission. Patients between 40 and 60 years of age were the most prevalent during the study period. Among the assessed radiographs, 20.7% were abnormal. The smallest proportion of radiological findings occurred in patients who were older than 60 years of age (15.3%) Patients younger than 40 years of age exhibited the highest percentage of detected abnormalities on imaging tests (28.7%).
The majority (425 of 447) of imaging tests were anteroposterior chest radiographs with the patient lying on the bed. The remaining 22 tests were CT scans of the chest or skull, ultrasounds or radiographs other than anteroposterior chest radiographs. No MRIs were requested for the studied patients. Classifications and statistical analyses were performed on chest radiographs only because this test constituted approximately 90% of the performed tests.
An average of 4.01 radiographs per patient was obtained. Most of the radiographs (22.9%) were requested within the first 24 hours in the ICU, and a decrease in the number of requests was observed as the number of days of hospitalization increased. Figure 1 illustrates the quantitative evolution of requests for radiographic tests according to the day of hospitalization.
Approximately half of the radiographs were requested for routine and admission checking, and 12.7% of the radiographs were requested for diagnosis.
Radiographic abnormalities that were or were not detected by the attending physician are presented in table 2. Most (68.5%) of the requested radiographs for diagnosis exhibited no detectable abnormalities, which was a statistically significant proportion compared to the requested radiographs for admissions control (p<0.05).
Table 3 presents a list the changes in medical conduct according to the observed radiographic abnormality. No changes in medical care were observed in 99.4% of the cases in which radiographic images were normal. Changes in medical care were observed in 69.2% of radiographs that exhibited pleuropulmonary alterations and 92.3% of radiographs that exhibited malpositioned devices. A statistically significant relationship between changes in medical care for normal and abnormal radiographs was observed (p<0.001). Statistical significance in the abnormal categories was noted on radiographs that exhibited pleuropulmonary alterations (p <0.05) and malpositioned devices (p<0.05).
Chest radiography is an indispensable tool that complements therapy in critically ill patients. However, the indiscriminate ordering of imaging tests, especially tests that are justified solely by a routine need, is considered inadequate by many authors, which supports the suspension of protocols that request daily radiological tests.(5-7,9-11)
The demographic and clinical aspects in the present study outlined the population that is attended by the HU/UFSC. The mean age was over 50 years and admissions were primarily clinical. Higher mean ages have been reported in European(5,7,10) and North American(6,9) hospitals, which may be associated with the increased life expectancy in countries in the northern hemisphere.
Patients aged 40-60 years constituted the majority of patients with imaging tests in the present study sample, and this group exhibited the longest hospitalization in the ICU. Conversely, the majority of patients who were hospitalized for 2 to 5 days were older than 60 years of age. The majority of chest radiographs were requested for patients between 40 and 60 years of age. Patients in younger age groups exhibited a significantly lower hospital mortality rate. Fewer tests than average were requested for younger patients because they spent less time in the ICU. Fewer tests than average were also requested for elderly patients, and this may be because these patients spent less time in the ICU, died before other patients, and were discharged from the ICU to receive palliative care in the infirmary, and likely presented with a more serious clinical condition upon admission. Note that the latter reason is an assumption, as no severity scores, such as the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE), were assessed these patients.
The majority of radiographic examinations were requested within the first 5 days of ICU admission. A higher diagnostic uncertainty during this period can be presumed, and patients may have become "chronically critical" and required less investigation after 5 days of hospitalization; this is also an assumption because Sepsis Related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) was not performed in these patients. No studies were identified in the reviewed literature that would allow for a better discussion of these results.
The present study demonstrated that the majority of performed radiological tests were chest radiographs. This result may be due to the greater ease in the performance of the test, the obtaining of the film after the exam, the short interval of time between the test request and the results, and its low cost.(12) All radiographs were performed using an anteroposterior incidence, which is not the gold standard for lung assessment, but it can be performed in severely ill patients who are confined to the bed and admitted to the ICU.(1)
The results of the categorized tests in the present study demonstrated that most of the altered radiographs were requested for diagnostic investigation after admission to the ICU. Exams that were requested for patient monitoring during a hospital stay were mostly normal. Previous studies of sets of radiographs that are requested as part of the daily routine and following clinical justification reveal a significantly larger proportion of detected abnormalities in clinically indicated radiographs.(9,10) Normal radiographic exams that are obtained after a medical procedure indicate that the procedure was appropriate. Graat et al.(5,7) noted that the greater proportion of detected abnormalities for malpositioned devices on clinically indicated radiographs was not due to errors in technique but rather to the reduced size of the sample. In addition, the quality of radiological exams in the ICU may not be very good; Lucchesi et al.(1) explained that the poor quality of these tests is due to the patient position on the bed during the exam, the shorter distances between the film and the image focus, possible technical deficiencies of portable devices, and problems with the revelation of the radiographic film.
Interestingly, no changes in pharmacological or ventilatory conduct were performed following evaluations of normal and abnormal radiographs. Graat et al.(5) revealed an increase in the percentage of therapeutic changes based on radiographic images after the abandonment of the daily chest radiograph protocols. The same result has been demonstrated by Krivopal et al.,(9) but patients were separated into distinct and simultaneous groups. Other studies have demonstrated the prevalence of nonpharmacological and nonventilatory interventions, such as mechanical adjustments of venous access, endotracheal tubes and feeding tubes, following radiographic examinations.(6,10)
The clinical severity of critically ill patients and the need for invasive procedures and invasive ventilatory support requires a differentiated surveillance in these patients. Ventilator-associated pneumonia may be more difficult to assess, and it requires a series of clinical data to confirm the diagnosis. Chest radiographs do not present good specificity in these cases,(13,14) and radiographs may only assist, but are not essential, for the evaluation of condition severity.(15-17)
The ICU at the HU/UFSC has no guidelines for the performing of daily radiographs on patients, even patients who undergo invasive procedures. This institution is a teaching hospital for both medical school and medical residency, and a greater number of requested tests would be expected for academic purposes and to better consolidate medical conduct.(4) However, the medical literature indicates that this conduct does not demonstrate sufficiently significant clinical values, and the transition from the daily performance of radiographs to the ordering of clinically indicated radiographs does not produce higher mortality rates or longer stays in the ICU.(7) The majority of requested biochemical tests are not associated with prognosis or relevant changes in medical conduct.(4) Complementary tests, including laboratory and imaging tests, are the third largest source of expenditures in the ICU,(18) and viable alternatives and simpler measurements should be created to optimize budgets, time and medical care. The adoption of more trustworthy and faster complementary tests(19-23) and conduct(24-26) that avoids the routine ordering of chest radiographs has been recommended.
The small number of assessed radiographic exams is a limitation of the present study. One justification is the small number of patients that were included in the sampling period. The difference between the number of patients who were admitted during the proposed period of study (n=173) and those patients who were non-consecutively included in the study sample (n=106) should be noted. This difference may have been due to the profile of the patients who were admitted to the sector. Many of these patients were transferred from other hospitals, and some patients remained in the ICU less than 24 hours. Another negative factor was that activities, such as physical therapy maneuvers and the traction of tubes and venous accesses for better positioning, were not included in the medical conduct group. Official reports, which would allow for greater safety in the adoption medical conduct, are not requested from radiologists in the studied ICU service. However, Chambliss et al. have demonstrated significant agreement between radiographic interpretations from radiologists and intensivist pediatricians.(8)
The majority of the chest radiographs that were performed in critically ill patients in the ICU revealed no clinical abnormalities, and most of the radiographs that were considered abnormal by the attending intensivist did not produce changes in medical conduct.

Today, the New Music Spotlight is focused on Gloriana. Written by the trio's Tom Gossin with Stephanie Bentley and James Slater, "Can't Shake You" is the follow-up to the gold-certified "(Kissed You) Good Night", both featured on the group's second studio album A Thousand Miles Left Behind.
According to Tom, "'Can't Shake You' is about not being able to shake somebody from your mind after a break-up. Most people have been in this situation and can relate."
Gloriana has had it's own share of relationship problems since Cheyenne Kimball abruptly left the group last year, leaving them as a trio of brothers consisting of Tom and Mike Gossin, and Rachel Reinert. They continue to go strong to promote their current album are on tour to support it well into 2013.
Check out "Can't Shake You" from Gloriana and then tell us what you think of it in the poll below.

FedEx Freight has improved its service in key US markets, and FedEx National LTL now provides long-haul shippers with improved on-time service reliability after re-engineering its network, FedEx Freight, an operating company of FedEx Corp. announced.
FedEx Freight has cut transit times in half ' from two days to next day ' from the Las Vegas area to Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento, Bakersfield and other large cities in Central California, and from Vancouver, British Columbia into the US Pacific Northwest.
FedEx Freight has accelerated delivery from three days to two days in many other cities. Overall, FedEx Freight has helped its customers who depend on fast-cycle logistics by improving service standards in more than 1,000 US lanes in the past year. Dillards, a national retailer of fashion and home furnishings, uses both FedEx Freight and FedEx National LTL to meet its supply-chain needs.
Our reputation hinges on the availability of inventory in our 330 stores. Therefore, we need carriers that can keep pace with our business, said Fred Anderson, director of transportation for Dillards. FedEx Freight has been an excellent carrier for us in the regional sector, and we are pleased that FedEx National LTL is now a strategic alliance solutions provider for our long-haul shipments.
FedEx National LTL, a provider of long-haul LTL services, has adopted a strictly scheduled line-haul operation to enhance reliability. Like FedEx Freight, FedEx National LTL employs advanced information systems that support internal planning and provide shipment visibility to customers. These improvements benefit customers with planned inventory replenishment. FedEx National LTL was created in September 2006 when FedEx acquired the business assets of the former Watkins Motor Lines. 'A little over a year ago, we announced our strategy of providing a reliable and cost-effective service for long-haul shippers, complementing our regional LTL service,' said Douglas G. Duncan, president and chief executive officer of FedEx Freight. 'Today, through FedEx National LTL, we are delivering on that promise. Further, we are able to leverage both networks to offer all-points coverage in the regional and long-haul sectors.'
In addition to expanding its domestic portfolio through FedEx National LTL, FedEx Freight is enhancing its Canadian service offerings with FedEx Freight Canada, the first-ever direct LTL presence for FedEx in Canada. The growing company handles LTL shipments moving into and out of Canada and intra-Canada shipments. This door-to-door service provided by FedEx Freight companies offers greater visibility and reliability for Canadian LTL shipments and trans-border pickup and delivery points in the US.

Retro Cameras
These cameras are being featured on the Pion Design blog here so be sure and check them out! A while back, I made a movie projector and promised instructions for the bellows assembly. Well I am posting the instructions today below, which are really quite easy! These cameras have longer bellows than the movie projector bellows but are assembled the same way. The WPC cutting file for these camera bellows can be downloaded from here. The SVG cutting file can be downloaded here. The red lines are score lines on the cutting file. The manual template is included below for those without an electronic cutting machine. Although not pictured, these cameras have a small box on the back for holding small photos.
Here is a photo of the camera model I used for inspiration:
Pion Design: For Mother, For Father
1/8″ thick chipboard
Dusty Attic: mini wrought iron fence, baroque corners, film strip
Tim Holtz Idea-Ology hinges
self-adhesive gemstones
paper flowers
black plastic chain
circular metal lids with clear inserts
(each piece should measure approx 8 1/4″ length and 3 1/2″ maximum width)
1. Cut and score the 4 pieces. Notice that 2 of the pieces have a certain side zigzag score line pattern while the other 2 have the opposite zigzag score line pattern. It's difficult to see the side zigzag score lines in the below photos. Fold each piece like a fan making sure the mountain fold has the zigzag point at the score line. The valley folds will have the zigzag point at the outer edge of the paper. Each 2 pieces that have the same zig zag score lines will be assembled opposite each other on the bellows. I made the pieces 2 different colors to more easily demonstrate this.
2. Begin folding the side zigzag score lines. You will fold in the mountains and keep the valleys out as shown below:
3. Now repeat this with all 4 of the bellow pieces. Notice below that one piece has zigzag fold lines going the same direction, and one piece has zigzag fold lines going the opposite direction. This will allow the pieces to fit together correctly when assembled.
4. Unfold and apply score tape right next to the long score line on the zigzags as shown below on both sides of one of the pieces.
5. Refold the piece back into position and remove the paper backing from the Score-Tape. Take one of the pieces with the opposite score lines (different color in my project) and hold it 90 degrees apart and begin adhering the sides together as shown:
6. Repeat with the other side and your bellows will be almost complete with 3 sides now attached:
7. Now with the final piece, apply Score-Tape as shown earlier and attach to the exposed sides of the formed bellows the same way you did above and your bellows is finished!
This project consists of 4 boxes and 3 of these are made with 1/8″ thick chipboard. The upright box is essentially an opened box inserted inside the lid as shown:
1. upright box lid: cut the following pieces of chipboard:
BASE 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ x 1
4 1/2 x 1 1/4 x 2 adhere these pieces to the BASE's long sides
3 1/4 x 1/14 x 2 adhere these pieces to the BASE's short sides sandwiching between the long sides
2. inner box: cut the following pieces of chipboard:
BASE 4 1/4″ x 3 1/4″
4 1/4″ x 1 1/2″ x 2 adhere these pieces to the BASE's long sides
3″ x 1 1/2″ x 2 adhere these pieces to the BASE's short sides sandwiching between the long sides.
3. bottom box: cut the following piece of chipboard:
BASE BOTTOM 4 1/4″ x 3 1/2″
4 1/4″ x 3/4″ x 2 adhere these pieces to the BASE's long sides
3 1/4″ x 3/4″ x 2 adhere these pieces to the BASE's short sides sandwiching between the long sides.
BASE TOP 4 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ adhere this to the top of all the above sides
BASE BOTTOM: 2 1/4″ x 2 5/8″
2 5/8″ x 3/4″ x 2 adhere these pieces to the BASE's long sides
2″ x 3/4″ x 2 adhere these pieces to the BASE's short sides sandwiching between the long sides.
BASE TOP: 2 1/4″ x 2 5/8″ adhere this to the top of all the above sides
After assembling all the chipboard boxes, cover them with decorative paper.
Apply hinges to attach the upright box and the bottom box to connect them. It's hard to see these hinges in the pictures above.
Attach the camera lens box to the front (smaller end) of the bellows.
Attach the bellows to the box sides as shown above.
Add decorative elements.
4. OPTIONAL BACK BOX for holding small photos (not pictured)
This back box is not necessary for the overall camera design. If you do want to include this however, it measures 3 1/2″ length by 3″ width by 1/2″ depth and should be centered over the back. Mine was just made with card stock and decorative paper.
The bottom part of the flash attachment was made by just rolling up some decorative paper. The top flash was made by cutting a circle. Make a straight cut to the exact center of this circle and then overlap the cut edges to make a dimensional wide cone.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the camera construction! Have a great weekend!

Go to the sticky and follow the directions step by step and you will get to that screen. Guaranteed.
Here is the link to the sticky. Start there.
Thank you very much ST Dog and Annepani. I'm no longer a tracfone customer, but I still like to keep up-to-date with this carrier I know, grew up with, and have grown to love. Ever since they changed the site's format, I stopped checking up on new phones. Again, thank you to both of you.
Here's the direct link:
edit: Apparently it can only be accessed if you've already visited the page.
Even if you accessed the direct link previously, you won't be able to access it again directly depending on how much later you try, because there's a session cookie involved which expires after some period of time. So which carrier are you with now, and how do you like the service for the price you pay?
Thanks for the instructions and sticky.
I found this interesting site that sells phone/radio/etc belt clip hardware. I have not ordered anything from them before and don't need to anytime soon.
Thx for the help . I was able to get to that page. I wish there was some info on the phones. Thx. again.
and MY POINT IS, If TF wanted it to EASILY be MADE PUBLIC, they would have left it alone, so he did the right thing so as to NOT PO TF. TF is probably tired of ppl emailing them asking when the new phones will be available which is why they changed it in the first place. This is common sense. TF is most likely PO'd now that it's made public. Not EVERYBODY needs to know everything, hence the option to PM.
WOW, trying to make an enemy with a nube right off the bat. A bad sign. Guess I'll be getting my answers elsewhere from now on.
Sorry ST for any problems this has caused you. If it's not too inconvenient, I'll pm you if other ?'s arise from other website forums and thanx for your help.
I really doubt Tracfone cares if the whole world sees their upcoming phones on a page that anyone about to activate their Tracfone can see.
So can we just stop with the and which might be better conducted via PM if it must continue, have a , but not get , and get back to business as usual.
Credits to DoctorM from another phone forum for this directly clickable link showing these new phones. OMG, Tracfones secrets are all out now .......
Net 10 phones
Tracfone phones
I don't know if Straight Talk has an equivalent page.
My Tracfone LG440G: I have had it for 2 months and, in general, it is an OK basic flip-phone. Three problems: 1) in the non-speaker phone mode, the maximum volume setting distorts the audio, terribly. 2) My home zip is in WA state and when I travel to CA state, sometimes my phone does not ring when someone is calling me either from WA or CA, rather I just get a voice mail notification. I have called Tracfone support several times about this issue and after hours on the phone with them, I still have the problem. The most recent theory provided by them is that the "roaming" feature of the phone needs to be re-set and that, they say, has to be done when one is out of one's home zip code/state. Next time I travel, I will call them to have this done. 3) Tracfone support says the only supported bluetooth function of this phone is that of "hands-free". They said I could not transfer files/photos/contact lists via bluetooth to other phones or computers. However, after changing settings on this/that on my computer, I can now successfully transfer files/photos/contact lists .vcf via bluetooth to my computer from my LG440G. I don't have much faith in Tracfone technical support. When calling them be prepared for long wait time and then an even longer conference--have something else to do while they are doing whatever they are doing. If if their fix does not fix it, keep calling them back. You should eventually be given their 866-806-1840 "manager level" contact number and a "reference PIN". I have found that call wait time using this info is significantly reduced and the quality of service is higher than the base level. But, I have had two managers give me the exact opposite advice so one must be patient if one wishes to remain with Tracfone.
Your phone uses the GSM technology, which is for example AT&T and T-Mobile. Your phone has a sim card for one of these. That company is your primary carrier, and if there is zero signal, your phone should roam to the other carrier or at least another GSM carrier. The catch is that not all areas of the country have GSM, and may not even have CDMA, which is the other technology. Some Tracfones are CDMA, which is for example Verizon. GSM handsets and CDMA handsets are incompatible with each other's signals. The frequencies are different and the way they handle traffic is different. In rural areas, there tends to be a lack of GSM and a preference for CDMA. This is believed to be due to the way the signals travel over long distances, so they need fewer towers for CDMA, less cost to service far flung customers.
I think you are encountering areas of CA with no GSM. Your phone cannot ring if it is offline, so you are not answering and the call goes to VM.
You might consider getting a CDMA handset for travel purposes. A lot of Tracfone customers have both a GSM and CDMA handset to have the maximum chance of getting service.
There are no roaming adjustments to be made to a GSM handset. The situation is handled automatically according to the roaming contracts in place between Tracfone and local carriers. CDMA is slightly different, whereby a preferred roaming list is downloaded to the phone, but then the automatic part takes over during travel.
The next time you travel, look at your phone and see if it says no service. You might also want to make sure you have an AT&T sim, which usually gives you more of a chance for a signal.
I forgot to add that the regular CS is pretty much worthless. You should call at least 800-876-5753, try 800-626-4883, or else the headquarters at 305-715-6500.
Your reply is very informative. If it makes a difference, when I am traveling and in CA where I have this problem, I normally have at least 3 bars of reception and have always been able to make outgoing calls. If I understand your info correctly, what I need to find out from Tracfone is if, in the Palm Springs, CA area, Tracfone uses GSM technology. If they do, then do you think a new SIM card would help? Thanks!

Prison sentence for man who threatened Sen. Murray
Published 10:00 pm, Thursday, October 21, 2010
He was afraid, he said, so he made others afraid.
He was scared the health insurance reform pushed through by President Obama would cut into his benefits, so Charles Alan Wilson, 64, threatened, repeatedly and in explicit language, to kill Sen. Patty Murray.
Those threats made him a terrorist, U.S. District Court Judge John C. Coughenour said sentencing Wilson on Friday, and deserving of a prison cell.
Coughenour's order will send him to one; the Central Washington man was sentenced to one year in prison.
Wilson, of Selah, previously admitted to threatening the Washington Democrat. According to charging documents, Wilson expressed disdain for the health care reforms in a series of profanity-laced messages.

"I want to .... kill you," court documents say Charles Alan Wilson of Selah said in one of his foul-mouthed calls to Murray's office.
"Kill the .... senator! Hang the .... senator! I hope somebody puts a .... bullet between your .... eyes," court documents say he said in another call.
In contrast to the messages he left with Murray's office, Wilson was polite and contrite as he faced the judge Friday.
"I was scared," he said, reading a public apology to Murray and her staff.
"I regret these actions. I was totally wrong and … it is with humility that I ask your forgiveness.
Speaking to Coughenour, Wilson's attorney noted her client was concerned federal insurance reform would cut into the government benefits he was receiving.
Wilson had recently been turned down after requesting an increase in disability benefits, his attorney said. A survivor of four heart attacks, Wilson was living in pain but unable to take pain medication because his liver was compromised by his drinking.
Wilson was charged April 6 with threatening a federal official. He pleaded guilty to that charge June 10.
Wilson was undone, in part, by an FBI agent who posed as being with a group that wanted to repeal health-care reform.
Addressing the court, Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Greenberg noted that Wilson was one of at least three people accused of threatening Democrats serving in Congress in the weeks surrounding Wilson's offense.
While agreeing that Wilson had no intention of carrying through the threats, Greenberg noted that federal investigators and the senator's office had no way to know that until Wilson was apprehended.
Greenberg also argued that a prison term was necessary to dissuade others from using threats of violence to bully elected officials.
"This is a message case," Greenberg said. "Unfortunately, Mr. Wilson has created this opportunity, I would say an essential opportunity, for this court to send a message."
Coughenour said he was prepared to send an even stronger message, and had considered sentencing Wilson to a three-year prison term. Instead, he ordered the prosecution's recommended sentence.
Announcing the sentence, Coughenour read a statement written by one of his law clerks whom he'd asked for thoughts on what he'd say to Wilson.
Reading the clerk's statement, Coughenour noted that there is a word for those who would use violence or threats of violence to subvert the democratic process. That word, he continued, is terrorist.
"You lost your way, Mr. Wilson," Coughenour said. "And you let the urge for violence overcome your commitment to reason. And when you did so, you did not just break the law, you betrayed the values about which you are so passionate."
(The full text of the clerk's statement is available here.)

What Hp Mods next?
Need some help have.a 2010 L-99 ss with following mods.
K&n Cai,Kooks long tube header with hiflow cats,ported throttle body, and gm performance exhaust.Dont know what to do before i send in for Ted's tune.
what should be next.
Pulley? gears? H-pipe? new Intake, cam ,ETC
i would do gears next
If you are going to race it... gears
If you are going for HP and sound... cam
not much noticeable differences with intakes, h-pipes, pulleys... go big
what gears 7 what cam
Camming an L99 isn't that easy. To do it right costs twice as much as an LS3.
Custom dyno tune
Vararam, Haltech or rotofab intake.
Ud pulley
In that order IMHO.
I think If I purchased the L99 A6 I would go FI of some sort over the doing the Cam install
FI no need for a converter or the Bigger $$ switch for the Cam install. FI would be less costly with more punch dontcha think??
Scoop/washer tank relocation, gears and torque converter.
@ OP, do you race on the track or just want the car to be faster on the street?
I would do a nice custom grind vvt cam head work and a tune by a vvt pro. but my needs and wants could be different than yours OP. also a better intake would be nice, and as Chase said a washer relocate and a scoop are a nice addition and i recommend it whole heartedly.
Any time you start modding an l99 and are considering cam and/or fi, it'd be a good idea to toss the afm lifters in favor of ls3's. AFM lifters don't hold up all that great in stock vehicles.
It really just depends on your goals, do you want a hp number, do you want a track number, do you want to race the car or just mainly daily drive the car. There are tons of great options and everyones opinion will vary. But in the end, you need to decide what your goals are, and then mod accordingly.
Fast loud street car. Not looking to run at tract too much.just bought a underdrive pulley to go with my mods
Id go for a good cam and custom tuning to accompany it. It will sound mean, have good power and will be a blast to drive!

Topic: Exhale (08/15/13)
TITLE: Where is Alex?
By Brenda Rice
Buried completely in white, I couldn't hear anything. I didn't know if I was upright or standing on my head. Worst of all, I had no idea where my husband was.
"Oh Lord help us!" I shouted into the snow an inch from my nose. Struggling, I freed my right hand. Then I cleared snow from my face and screamed, "Alex!" No answer. I screamed again and again.
When I inhaled, I realized I couldn't breathe out. My lungs were full and burning, but I couldn't let the air out. Our dream of trekking in the Himalayas on our tenth anniversary had become our worst nightmare.
Forcefully twisting to the right gave me some freedom. I expelled the trapped air, but the pressure started again as the snow pressed into me. My lungs burned with used air. The frozen white around me became darker. I had to get out or die.
We were going to visit De-chhen phu ("Cave of Happiness") which is only accessible in the fall. It's a three day trek above Dzongri and only visible before heavy snow fall. "Oh Alex, I'm sorry our plans are ruined. Where are you, honey?"
Alex was visibly excited as we trekked up the last slope before the avalanche. His cheeks were ruddy from the relentless wind and his blue eyes sparkled in the blinding sunlight. "I love you so much . . . I can't die here without you . . . I can't lose you, Alex."
Three Months Later
"Okay Maralee take a deep breath—hold it—let it out. Again, take a deep breath—hold it—let it out." Dr. Ben Epson said as he listened to my lungs. "Your lungs have improved faster than I expected. But be careful not to exhaust yourself—you still have a ways to go."
"You're the boss, doc. I don't think I would be here without you. I should give some credit to the emergency rescue team in India. But you have kept me moving forward. You are a blessing to me."
"Stop all that. I'm a doctor. It's what I do. You would have made it; you're too strong to give up. I haven't heard of many people surviving six hours buried by an avalanche. What kept you going?"
"I had no idea how long I was buried until the rescue. Truthfully, I thought I must be dreaming or dead. One moment, I was seeing Alex climbing the slope; the next I was remembering how wrong our plans had gone."
"You young lady are a miracle. Breathing freezing air for hours severely injured your lungs, but the low body temperature helped your heart and brain survive."
"I suppose God wasn't ready for me, and I certainly wasn't ready to . . . well, you know."
"I know, Maralee," said Dr. Epson patting my hand consolingly. "But the will to live is a God given thing and you are living proof, so is Alex. Let's get him in here and check him out."

- What is scale rot?
- Scale rot is a bacterial infection often found in captive reptiles, especially snakes. It is caused by the conditions being too moist and also by improper husbandry practices involving failure to properly clean the animal's enclosure. Basically they slither around in their own excrement and come down with an infection on their stomachs. Which shouldn't surprise anyone.
Left untreated and allowed to grow scale rot is fatal, literally eating away at the snake from the outside. If you have a snake with scale rot, or you suspect scale rot get on it right away.
- How do you tell if it's scale rot?
- Scale rot will usually initially show up as ulcerations on a snakes belly, reddish brown in color. It will begin to compromise and erode the scales on the snakes underside with large blisters not being uncommon. You shouldn't confuse a reddish colored belly with a snake preparing to shed as both scale rot and shedding are often marked by red underbellies on many snakes.
Inspecting your snake should be a thrice weekly event where you take an inventory of it to ensure there are no health problems. Snakes won't tell you they're hurting so you need to learn to observer for your self.
- How to treat scale rot
- If you notice the scale rot before blisters begin to form you will often be successful in treating the condition by taking some simple steps.
- Get the temperature right
- Get the humidity right
- Get the tank cleaned up
- Use triple anti-biotic ointment (WITHOUT painkiller)
- A bath in a betadine solution (10% betadine)
If you don't catch it until blisters are forming it is necessary to take a trip to the vets. It might even be necessary before they form, but only you know your own snake well enough to know what it needs. You should always err on the side of caution when it comes to dealing with your pets health. That's why it is always important to chose a vet for your snakes before an emergency happens.

You're a Rogers dealer, and haven't held a Pearl or Curve in your hands??! I find that hard to believe.Originally Posted by craeyon
I actually work for The Source and its only been a week . I am surprised to see that they don't put curves on display. I don't think the source actually sells them in general. But I can be wrong. Nice catch pozi.. I shall inquire about this.Originally Posted by pozi240
Oo my contract is coming up soon, maybe I can do some dealing with retentions.
I enjoyed negotiations with Retentions, I found it very addictive Eventually, got what I wanted, I am now hunting down people that are able to negotiate and helping them understand retentions
I'm pretty sure its going to be $499.99 mtm.

That I could deal with. I would have thought it would be more than the Pearl. But who knows, maybe the price of the Pearl will drop when the Curve is released. Now the problem will be trying to sell my Pearl along with hundreds of other people...ill probably be lucky to get $200 after the Curve is released.Originally Posted by sucanushie
seaners didn't you get ur pearl for full price?

Yeah I paid $499. A couple weeks after I bought it I got a brand new one on craigslist for $375. So I bought that and was going to return the first one to Best Buy because I paid $499. But the trackball on the one from craigalist sucked really bad so I just re-sold it for $25 less...but that one had a BB charging cradle which I kept so I basically didn't lose anything. That's the crappy thing about the trackball...they are really hit and miss.Originally Posted by craeyon
That's a pic of the GSM version, the CDMA have black keypads...Bunk?
Excellent Photoshop !!!
The Bluetooth is a def copy paste. No shadow .
The Testing Unit i played with does not look like the one in the picture !! Good 1.
I know good ole Visa will be enjoying some extra money when the Curve comes out then I'll jus have to do another swap when I go to England
..What colour is it?Originally Posted by Wirelezz
Same as the one in the photo, titanium (silver kinda).Originally Posted by EricMammoth
Its Black and SIlver Ill post some pictures tomorow of the test unit.Originally Posted by EricMammoth
I guess some people have way too much time on their hands.

I think I got a screenshot...
I'll post it up in a few minutes!
Here it is!
man, you can really tell that CDMA in NA is a second class citizen to the manufacturers. RIM didn't even bother including the trackball for the CDMA curve!
I'd say from the second last post to mine, it quite clearly shows a really hi rez screen for you guys.

Hey nice try there!!
However, if you go on telusmobility.com, you will notice that all new Blackberry phones have a Telus wallpaper.The Curve shown in this picture don't. + The phone does not have the Telus logo as all other phones shown on the website have. So it's clearly photoshoped.
You almost had me for a minute tho...
I noticed all the bars you were running in firefox more than the actual phone.

2012 Archives
The following ran on WOAI news radio on Jan. 24, 2012. Bud Weinstein, economist, provided expertise for this story.
January 26, 2012
By Jim Forsyth
Natural gas drilling operations in the Eagle Ford shale and elsewhere are being drastically reduced because the spot market prices of natural gas have hit their lowest prices in a decade, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Analysts like Bud Weinstein of the McGuire Energy Institute at Southern Methodist University say a combination of the historically warm January weather in the northeast and Midwest, where most homes and utilities burn natural gas, plus the massive amounts of new production, have pushed prices down to half of their levels in 2008, and one third of their levels in 2005.
"We just have too much gas," Weinstein told 1200 WOAI news. "There is too much production relative to demand, and that is because of these prolific finds in the various shale fields around the country."
Chesapeake Energy, which calls itself 'America's Champion of Natural Gas' and is one of the largest drillers in the Eagle Ford, is a partner with Chinese firms to exploit natural gas supplies some 11,000 feet below the Texas Brush Country, and has options on 600,000 net acres. But Chesapeake is announcing it is cutting back on it's drilling in several natural gas plays, simply because the prices are so low, that only the least expensive wells are profitable.

Since the water editor posts of this blog is proving to be the most popular, I have decided to expand upon it over the next couple of days with some short guides, mostly renders of the water and the settings that they took to create them. Todays post will be extremes, i.e. settings as they are originally set as a control followed by one setting turned up to the max so that the effect can be seen clearly.
Firstly a few things that should be noted, the water editor can only be used with an infinite plane of water and it is populated with a meta water, it is opened simply by double clicking on the water surface or by right clicking on the water plane in the layer menu and selecting edit.
The following menu is displayed (assuming you have "default water" selected as the texture)
This gives the following result. Please note that all renders are done with the "default" atmosphere for clarity.
Not particularly exciting, so lets have a look at those settings in a bit more detail.
Surface Altitude:
Surface altitude affects the Actual Height of the sea surface above the 0 X,Z co-ordinate, for example, if it is set to 100, it is well above the ground plane, where as if you have it at 0 it will be resting on the ground plane.
Set to 0 Above
Set to 100 Above, Notice the position of the water element.
Displaced Water Surface:
This option creates a more realistic surface to the water by producing heights for the water and physically changing the shape of the object, This looks more realistic than with just textured surfaces because it allows surfaces to show shadows and gives extra depth. This is the same as adding displacement to, for example, a brick wall.
Bruno Memain pointed out that displaced water surface doesn't use displacement. It transforms the water plane (2 polys) into an infinite procedural terrain (more than 2 polys …) This procedural terrain uses a set of nodes based on the "open ocean" fractal node we know since Vue5. So it isn't as resources heavy as displacement, and since it is a procedural terrain, the closer you are from the surface, the more detail you can see.
Examples below are of firstly non-displaced material and secondly displaced material, with the Overall Agitation cranked up to 100.
It should be noted that displacement takes longer to render and vastly increases the number of polygons in the scene, in the second picture there are 7100000 polygons while in the first there are only 4.
Use Global Wave Control:
This is a setting which allows you to change the settings generically without going into editing the settings individually. In this section, all images will be duplicate, firstly with displacement active and secondly without displacement.
When this setting is active, the overall agitation option is useable, however when you turn the global wave control off, the Overall Agitation option is greyed, and the other advanced options are availiable.
Overall Agitation:
This is an option that uses preset settings to control the overall appearance of the water surface. Below are examples of the overall agitation at setting 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%
0% With Displacement 2 Polygons
0% No Displacement 2 Polygons
25% With Displacement 2140000 Polygons
25% No Displacement 2 Polygons
50% With Displacement 2560000 Polygons
50% No Displacement 2 Polygons
75% With Displacement 3350000 Polygons
75% No Displacement 2 Polygons
100% With Displacement 7100000 Polygons
100% No Displacement 2 Polygons
Wind Direction:
Wind direction depicts the direction in which the waves will move towards as in nature, the example below is waves moving at 45 degrees and then also at 90 degrees. (Overall Agitation is set to 50% in both images, Displacement is on)
Wind Direction 45 degrees,
Wind Direction 90 degrees,
You can see that the direction of the waves has altered, This is probably best used when creating shorelines and objects with waves moving towards them.
The following settings can only be used with the "Global Wave Control" deactivated
Wave Amount:
Wave amount depictes the quantity of waves that are present in the water plane, default is set at 1. Images below are firstly with displacement and then without, the settings are 0, 1, 5, 10.
0 No Displacement
0 With Displacement
1 No Displacement
1 With Displacement
5 No Displacement
5 With Displacement
10 No Displacement
10 With Displacement
This depicts the height of the displacement that is enforced on the waves, thus the displacement option must be active. The default value is 1, minimum is 0, the maximum is 100. Below are 6 pictures, set at 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100
Height at 0: 0 Polygons
Height at 20: 2530000 Polygons
Height at 40: 3000000 Polygons
Height at 60: 3200000 Polygons
Height at 80: 3400000 Polygons
Height at 100: 3400000 Polygons
Height at 0 appears to cancel out the water altogether, which makes sense really as water can't have 0 height.
Wind Intensity:
Wind intensity appears to dictate the amount of lashing that the waves take, i.e. how much foam is present on top and how agitated the surface of the water is.
The default value is 1. The following pictures use the values 0, 1 and 2. Non displacement mapping is first, followed by displacement.
0 – No displacement: 2 Polygons
0 – With displacement: 2443000 Polygons
1 – No displacement: 2 Polygons
1 – With displacement: 3000000 Polygons
2 – No displacement: 2 Polygons
2 – With displacement: 3600000 Polygons
Agitation dictates how much swell, and current the water has, or.. how agitated the water is…
The minimum value is 0.5, the maximum is 2.0, The images below show this set on 0.5, 1 and 2. Without Displacement is shown first, with displacement is shown second.
0.5 No Displacement 2 Polygons
0.5 With Displacement 2 Polygons
1.0 No Displacement 2 Polygons
1.0 With Displacement 2 Polygons
2.0 No Displacement 2 Polygons
2.0 With Displacement 2443000 Polygons
Choppiness dicates how choppy the water is, fairly self explanatory really. Choppiness is the number of small waves that appear in the water in fashion similar to ^^^
so greater choppiness means the waves will be closer together, i.e. ^^^^^ lesser settings will result in ^ ^ ^ and so on..
Default setting is 0.5, minimum is 0, maximum is 1. Below are images of 0, 0.5 and 1, no displacement comes first, displacement comes second.
0 No displacement
0 With displacement
0.5 No displacement
0.5 With displacement
1 No displacement
1 With displacement
The images that use displacement that appear blank are due to the lack of height, this part of a the guide however is to illustrate what each of the options do from a default metawater layer.
Hope this helps, suggestions, comments or includes more than welcome.

News of the WTF: JOSE CANSECO sends twin brother, Ozzie, to fight in his place.
According to Damon Feldman, the promoter, Ozzie showed up at a Celebrity Boxing event Sat March 26th, at the Seminole Hard Rock,in Florida pretending to be Jose (who, according to Feldman, had already been paid a $5,000 advance). Ozzie then demanded 5K to fight, refused a check, and himself refused to fight.
He was outed as Ozzie, and not brother Jose, (who is famous for an EPIC baseball career, steroids, and losing horribly to Hong Man Choi), when people noticed he was missing arm tattoos that Jose has.
part of Jose's weekend twitter rant:
Feldman told the Miami Herald:Quote:
Canseco via twitter "the truth is always hidden from the public to create villains and heroes which 1 are you truly ... seek the truth before reacting ... just remember the media is write 20 percent of 50 percent of the time ... how can you haters being so ignorant it's amazing ... I am still waiting for an intelligent scenario ... by the way e s p n is owned by major league baseball of course they are going to lie."
"The guy I thought was Jose kept asking me to pay him in cash before (the fight),"
. "I told him I had to pay him by check for business reasons. He said he needed cash. We went back and forth."
So, bullies.....WTF???
p.s. Feldman canceled the Saturday fight and had Ozzie Canseco escorted out of the nightclub, by police.
