The National Studies on Acute Gastrointestinal Illness (NSAGI) initiative was designed to generate baseline period prevalence rates of self-reported AGI in communities across Canada, assess the burden associated with AGI, and quantify the under-reporting of AGI in Canada's national enteric disease reporting systems.
Methods utilized included population surveys administered randomly via telephone services. Three population surveys in three locations within Canada included over 10,000 residents. Questions pertained to recent symptoms as well as socio-demographic factors, use of the health care system and missed work or school due to illness.
In summary of published results, there are an estimated 1.3 episodes of AGI per person-year and an estimated 10-47, 13-37 and 23-49 cases in the community for every case of verotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter, respectively, captured within the national surveillance system. AGI represents an annual per capita cost of $115 CAD.
The work of NSAGI highlights the significant burden and impact of AGI in the Canadian population. These results will also be incorporated into the current work at the World Health Organization (WHO) to estimate the global burden of food related illnesses.
Acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI) is a global problem with mortality and morbidity affecting both developed and developing countries. It is caused by a variety of agents, and is frequently transmitted by food or water. Symptoms typically include diarrhea or vomiting, with additional secondary symptoms which frequently include fever, cramps, nausea and headache.
Increased understanding of the transmission of enteric pathogens has lead to regulations and intervention programs to control or prevent disease and sustained surveillance activities to monitor disease trends. However, with increased globalization, travel and trade, and impacts of climate change, among other factors, continued research activities are needed to address new or potential risks and their mitigation.
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) developed the National Studies on Acute Gastrointestinal Illness (NSAGI) initiative in 1999 to address the information gaps that existed on the magnitude, distribution and burden of AGI in Canada. The overall goals for the initiative included: generating baseline period prevalence rates of self-reported AGI in communities across Canada; assessing the socio-economic burden of illness associated with AGI; describing and quantifying the under-reporting of AGI in Canada's national enteric disease reporting systems and developing studies to further understanding of risk factors and chronic sequelae associated with AGI in Canada. The ultimate aim of these studies is to decrease the magnitude and burden of AGI in Canada through the development of specific and measurable interventions(1). To date the approaches taken have included population telephone surveys, a national laboratory survey and regional physician surveys. This article summarizes the key findings from the population surveys and details plans for future activities, as part of PHAC's initiatives related to AGI in the Canadian population.
Population surveys
Since its inception, NSAGI has successfully completed three, 12-month population surveys administered by telephone to randomly selected respondents, in three locations within Canada: (1) Hamilton Ontario(2), (2) three regions of British Columbia (BC)(3), and (3) the province of Ontario(4). The Hamilton study was conducted from February 2001 to February 2002 and surveyed 3,496 residents. The BC study was conducted from June 2002 to June 2003 and surveyed 4,612 residents. The Ontario study was conducted from May 2005 to May 2006 and surveyed 2,090 residents.
In these surveys of representative population samples, a broad case definition was adopted to be highly sensitive to capturing cases of AGI. Individuals were defined as cases if they had experienced symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea in the previous 28 days. 'Vomiting' was described as the forcible expulsion of the contents of the stomach out of the body while 'diarrhea' was defined as stool with abnormal liquidity or any loose stool. Individuals with pre-existing conditions or illnesses, as diagnosed by a medical doctor, with vomiting and diarrhea as a common symptom were excluded from being cases but included as non-cases.
Under-reporting and cost
Data from the population surveys were combined with various other data to generate estimates of the cost and under-reporting of AGI, as well as pathogen-specific under-reporting estimates. Detailed methods are available(5-8).
Hamilton study
Results of the Hamilton study have been reported in detail elsewhere. Briefly, of the 3,496 respondents, 351 were identified as cases of AGI, yielding a monthly prevalence of 10.0% (95% CI = 9.9 to 10.1) and an annual incidence rate of 1.3 (95% CI = 1.1 to 1.4) episodes per person-year. A significantly (p < 0.05) higher prevalence was observed among female respondents (12%) compared to male respondents (9%). Higher prevalence was observed in those < 10 years of age and among those 20 to 24 years of age (Figure 1). Seasonal peaks occurred around April and October (Figure 2).
British Columbia study
Results of the BC study have been reported in detail elsewhere. Briefly, of the 4,612 respondents, 451 were identified as cases of AGI, yielding a monthly prevalence of 9.8% (95% CI = 8.9 to 10.6) and an annual incidence rate of 1.3 (95% CI = 1.1 to 1.4) episodes per person-year. A significantly (p < 0.05) higher prevalence was seen among female respondents (11%) compared to male respondents (9%). Higher prevalence was observed in those < 15 years of age (Figure 1). Seasonal peaks occurred during winter and summer months (Figure 2).

1.3 episodes of AGI per person-year
X 32 million Canadians =
Ontario study
Results of the Ontario study have been reported in detail elsewhere. Briefly, of the 2,090 respondents, 179 were identified as cases of AGI, yielding a monthly prevalence of 8.6% (95% CI = 7.4 to 9.8) and an annual incidence rate of 1.2 (95% CI = 0.99 to 1.4) episodes per person-year. A marginally significant (p = 0.08) higher prevalence was observed among female respondents (9%) compared to male respondents (7%). Higher prevalence was observed in those < 10 years of age (Figure 1). A seasonal peak occurred between February and April (Figure 2).
For each case of AGI reported in Ontario(5) and British Columbia(6), an estimated 313 and 347 cases occur in the community, respectively. Additionally, AGI represents an annual per capita cost of $115 CAD(7) related to healthcare and lost productivity, based on the Hamilton study(2). The largest cost component is missed paid employment by individuals with AGI and their caretakers taking time away from paid employment. If this number is generalized to the entire Canadian population, the estimated annual cost of AGI in Canada would be $3.7 billion CAD. However, due to potential geographical differences more studies are needed to provide a more accurate cost for the Canadian population.
It was estimated that for every case of verotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter there are approximately 10-47, 13-37 and 23-49 cases respectively, in the Canadian population, circa 2000(8). Costs associated with cases due to specific pathogens have not yet been estimated for Canada.
The results presented here highlight the significant burden and impact of AGI to the Canadian population, and are an overview of some of the NSAGI results to date. They illustrate the impact of AGI in Canada and provide comparisons to other countries. Overall the incidence and distribution of AGI in Canada are comparable to estimates from other studies conducted in Ireland, the Netherlands, the United States and Australia(9-12).
Building on these estimates of AGI will be to determine the specific incidence and burden due to foodborne causes. By extrapolating the results of studies published in 1999 from the United States(13), where 75% of AGI is estimated to be related to an enteric infection versus 25% due to a respiratory infection, and an estimated 36% of these enteric infections are related to food, a plausible estimate of the number of cases of foodborne disease in Canada can be generated. Assuming an annual incidence of AGI of 1.3 episodes per person-year, it is estimated that approximately 11 million episodes of foodborne disease occur each year in Canada (Figure 3). This estimate would likely contain a full range of symptoms and severity and include a high proportion of individuals with relatively mild illness. Current initiatives, such as C-EnterNet(14) are needed to more fully describe the burden of disease due to foods and food-pathogen combinations.
To fully comprehend the burden of AGI, further work is needed to investigate the impact of long-term sequelae caused by AGI as well as to investigate, in detail, reasons for and regional differences in, under-reporting of illness to public health authorities. The WHO is working to estimate the global burden of food related illnesses using disability adjusted life years (DALYs) and will be including the impact of long-term sequelae caused by infection with specific enteric pathogens(15). The results from NSAGI will be incorporated in these estimates.
The results presented here are an interim summary of the NSAGI activities to date. There are several NSAGI activities in progress or being planned that will contribute to the epidemiology of AGI in Canada. These include the following: The Quebec population survey will determine the population incidence and distribution of AGI in defined regions of the province as well as examine the relationship between AGI and agriculture and climate change risk factors. The Community Etiology study will determine the pathogen specific incidence and distribution of AGI in Canada. In collaboration with the WHO project mentioned above, the Burden of Foodborne Disease study will determine the morbidity, mortality and cost in Canada, of pathogens commonly transmitted by food. Once these projects are complete, efforts will continue to assess the chronic sequelae and risk factors associated with AGI in Canada.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
NHP didn't cite either of us. It seemed to me that the officers wanted to clear the accident seen as quickly as possible so they didn't do a thorough investigation. The trucking company filed a claim with my insurance co. Soon after, the adverse policy underwriter sent me a letter denying my claim (I didn't file a cross claim yet), denying my claim. I went back to the scene and found picture evidence to prove the trucker was at fault. People keep telling me that commercial transportation companies can be sued in any state because they conduct business over the roadways. Is this true. Also this company is small so I don't think they have a resident agent in Nevada. The reason I ask this is nevada small claims is $7500 limt and where they are from is less.
If you are suing as a result of a car crash then most states require your lawsuit to be filed in the county where the crash took place, or where the defendant is located. Usually interstate trucking companies can be sued in your local Federal Court, but the amount of damages must exceed $75,000. I would contact a Nevada personal injury attorney to discuss your options.
Good luck.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not sure that I have an actual p.i. case. I didn't have any obvious injuries although I had some headaches and minor neck discomfort within a few days. They went away within the week. I also realized that I had a personality change and scrambled thought during that time. Problem is I didn't see a doctor because of expense and appointment availability
You can sue the trucking company in Nevada small claims court even though it is incorporated in California. You can serve the company via the agent for service of process designated in California. There is jurisdiction over the accident because the accident happened there and because the trucking company was using the roadways there to conduct business.
Good luck.Ask a similar question
Do you mean agent as in representative located in Nevada? I don't believe there is 1.
No, if they are incorporated in California, there has to be an agent designated with the Secretary of State for service of proceess. That's who you serve. Service does not have to take place in Nevada even though the lawsuit is venued there. Good luck.
Thank you very much.
Nevada courts have jurisdiction over this matter because of the "situs" (physical location) of the accident, regardless of where the defendant is from. You can bring the action in the court of the county where the accident occurred and service of process on the corporation will not be a problem.
Be careful in estimating the value of your claim. You should include a lot more than just the property damage, especially if you were injured at all, lost work time, had to change vacation plans, or were otherwise inconvenienced and delayed. If it exceeds $10k, you are in the Second Judicial District Court (state trial court level) for a Washoe County accident, and you need not file in Federal Court for this matter.
The lack of a citation does not presume fault by one driver or the other, so do not let them deter you with such an allegation. I would seriously suggest filing a claim with the trucking company's insurer for any damages you or your vehicle suffered. That puts them on the defensive, instead of just approaching it as though you have already admitted fault and are ready to roll over for them. Also, do not assume that because the company is small they cannot pay a settlement or judgment; they have commercial general liability insurance for this purpose, and you should be making a clearly phrased claim on their policy if you feel their driver was at fault.
Let us know if we can help!

Thank you. Based on the letter I received from the commercial insurer denying my claim is why I'm filing the lawsuit. That letter is my legal permission slip to sue. Luckily in Nevada claims can be divided into multiple parts. In this case property and medical. I'm going to prove my case for property compensation then decide afterwards about a claim for pain and suffering. The reason this whole topic came about was the women at Sparks Justice Court were having reservation about accepting the claim based on the claim not falling within normal parameters of business or residence within Sparks township. Also the lack of a resident agent in Nevada
Federal and state laws grant and limit courts' jurisdiction -- that is, the power to hear and decide a particular case. To make a legally valid decision, a court must have two types of jurisdiction: personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction. Personal jurisdiction rules determine whether a court has power over a particular defendant, whereas subject matter jurisdiction establishes the court's power to hear the kind of case a lawsuit involves. This article describes the ways that a court can have personal jurisdiction over a defendant:"general" personal jurisdiction, which permits a state to assert all-encompassing jurisdiction over any and all suits against a defendant—regardless of whether the suit relates to the defendant's contacts with the state—when the defendant has sufficiently significant contacts with the state.general jurisdiction over a corporation is permissible only in a state "in which the corporation is fairly regarded as at home," and indicated that the paradigm is the state of incorporation or principal place of business. "specific" personal jurisdiction, which applies when the suit arises from or relates to the defendant's contacts with the state.specific jurisdiction does not exist over a manufacturer when the distributor has made only a single sale in the state, even if that sale leads to an in-state injury involving the manufacturer's product.
If the person injured is domiciled in California and merely in transit through Nevada and the injured person is insured with a California insurance policy California law may apply to the resolution of the application of insurance policy provisions. This is so even thought the collision and injury occurred in Nevada not California.

|Bengal qualifies for inter-zonal round
Saturday, January 10 2004 20:23 Hrs (IST)
Bengal hit up 149 for five in 37.3 overs after bundling out Orissa for 148 in 47.4 overs.
Electing to bat first after winning the toss, Orissa began on a disastrous note losing six wickets for 78 runs.
Sanjay Raul (45) and P Pradhan (33) played a responsible knock and resisted Bengal attack for sometime to stitch up, 64 valuable run for the seventh wicket as all the other top order batsmen including test-discard S S Das (3) returned cheaply.
Chasing a easy target, Bengal received a set back losing its opener Nikhil Haldipur (23) at a score of 26 but opener Arindam Das (40) and skipper Devang Gandhi (55) cautious knock helped Bengal recover as they fetched 84 runs for the second wicket before Das fell well short of the crease in a bid to take a run.
Though Bengal lost Gandhi and Laxmi Ratan Shukla for a similar score of 120 but S Sanyal (10) and A Roy not out 15 saw their team surpass the target.
Bengal's Sanjib Sanyal bowled a tidy spell to wreck up Orissa's top order and emerged the most successful bowler with 4/21 followed by S S Paul and left-arm spinner Utpal Chatterjee two wickets apiece.
Bengal secured 19 points winning all the four league matches while Assam finished second on nine.
Bengal crush Tripura by 113 runs

if I install an addon (import .xml) it will take around 30 minutes +, is this normal?
No, that's not normal but the time taken can be influenced by the number of styles and add-ons you have installed.
That length of time may point towards server issues though - low spec, tuning, bottlenecks, etc.
The rest in the forums are work fine (with speed)
Currently in my list there are 21 addons. 1 Styles.
On a clean xenforo page it was the same where I installed my first plugin.
Now I wait around 1 hour.
Rebuilding... Templates . . . . . .
That points to server level issues and something your sysadmin or host would have to look into.
The number of languages AND the number of styles are a factor (effectively multiply them together to determine the amount of required work at this step). The number of languages is likely a more significant factor actually.
Can having debug turned on slow it down? I swear I have one site that takes a long time too (not 30 minutes though), but the only difference is that I have debug turned on for it.
Debug mode can trigger different code paths and add additional logging, so it's possible (though we do normally disable the logging during this action).

In the newer neighborhoods of Panama City, Panama, wide streets busy with traffic are flanked by sidewalks crowded with pedestrians. Many are on their way to work and even more are shopping in huge department stores that are filled with goods from all over the world.
Panama City's location on the Panama Canal has made it one of the world's most important cities for trade. Despite the spotless, air-conditioned malls and man-made groves of skyscrapers springing up along the waterfront, this old city founded by the Spanish during the early days of their conquest still retains much of its colonial charm.
Panama City, Panama has also managed to conserve much of its natural heritage and is probably the only capitol city with large tracts of tropical rainforest within its boundaries. From lookouts in Metropolitan Park, one can watch parrots flying over the canopy of lowland rainforests with the impressive modern skyline of Panama City as a visually stunning backdrop.
A blend of the old, new, and the natural, Panama City, Panama is the most up and coming city in the Americas.
History of Panama City, Panama
Similar to many places in Panama, the area that encompasses Panama City was inhabited by indigenous peoples who lived in small villages near rivers and the coast before the arrival of the Spanish in the early 1500s.
Panama was one of the first places colonized by the Spanish in the Americas and the city of Panama was the first European settlement on the Pacific coast of the new world. Founded in 1519 by Pedro Arias de Avila, Panama City, Panama became a jumping off point for expeditions into South America, and an important stop on the Spanish trade route between this continent and Spain.
Because so much treasure flowed through Panama City, though, it was a perfect target for pirates. Due to their frequent attacks, the city was relocated a short distance to the west to what is presently known as the neighborhood of Casco Viejo about 150 years after the Panama City was founded.
Panama City continued to be an important stop along the trade route between Spain and South America until 1746 when the trade route through Panama was abandoned due to huge losses from pirate attacks. The city temporarily lost importance until a century later when the Panama railroad was built as a result of the California gold rush in the United States. It was actually safer and easier to travel by ship to Panama, cross the isthmus by train, and continue on to California than to risk hostile Indians when traveling overland in North America.
Panama City, Panama became the official capital of the country in 1903 when Panamanians declared independence from Colombia. From this time on, because of the Panama Canal, Panama City, Panama has been one of the most important and strategic cities in the world.
Culture in Panama City, Panama
The culture of Panama City, Panama has been evolving for 500 years to form its own identity and includes influences from its Spanish colonial past, Afro-Caribbean peoples, indigenous tribes, the United States, immigrants from the Middle Eastern and China, and an ever growing community of ex-pats.
Activities in Panama City, Panama
This capital city of over a million inhabitants offers something for everybody who visit or reside in its colonial streets and modern byways. There are a number of museums and churches that are interesting to visit and due to its position at the Panama Canal, shopping for low-priced goods from around the world is always a popular activity as are banking and investing.
Exploring the historic neighborhood of Casco Viejo is a must for anyone visiting Panama City as is a visit to the Panama Canal. Many visitors also check out the ruins of Old Panama.
Visitors to Panama City, Panama who would like to see a sloth, toucans, parrots, monkeys, and other tropical animals will have a good chance at seeing such wildlife along trails in Metropolitan and Soberania Parks.
Types of accommodations available in Panama City, Panama
Befitting such a large and important capital city, there are dozens of hotels of all sorts to choose from in Panama City, Panama. Visitors to the city can stay at bed and breakfasts in Casco Viejo, in modern, large hotels near the airport and Allbrook Mall, and at a wide variety of smaller, mid-range hotels in the Cangreja and Exposicion neighborhoods.
Tourism in Panama City, Panama
Panama City, Panama is a place that most tourists to Panama include in their itineraries. Whether travelers stay a night or two because of its proximity to the airport, are on their way to other areas of the country, or because they hope to walk the old streets of Casco Viejo and see the canal, Panama City is visited by just about everyone who comes to this exciting country.
Real estate in Panama City, Panama
Panama City, Panama has been a very important center for commerce and trade literally for centuries. In recent times, with globalization and the explosion of China's economy, this city and the all important Panama Canal have become even more valuable for trade. As long as there is a canal, Panama City will be one of the most strategic and important cities in the Americas. That said, real estate in and Panama City is highly valuable and is only going to be worth more as time goes on.
National and global merchants, investors, ex-pats, and Panamanians all need to spend some or most of their time in Panama City, Panama. They need to stay somewhere so whoever owns property in this busy town should consider themselves to be extremely fortunate.

If you'll notice, I think you'll see that your phone's 'charging' lite now comes on when you plug it into USB.
That's all the driver does for me.
Sprint's not gonna help you with this. Think about it. If you were Sprint, wouldn't you prefer to let you pay
an extra monthly bite to use the functions of the phone?
You are probably right, gfdsafgdsa. I did search the Sanyo 3810 manual on the Sprint website and found an entry for data cable. It says you can connect a data cable to the USB port. I suspect there is funtionality in the phone that the Sprint version does not activate.
Maybe this is what I get for choosing this phone. I may have to look at other carriers or a different phone if I can't find something on the web.
Okay folks, calm down.
Earlier in this thread there was information posted about a program called DataPilot. To get access to your phone's pictures and address book through your PC, buy the available USB cable for the SCP-3810. Then buy a copy of DataPilot (it's far cheaper than subscribing to and using Sprint's ridiculous Picture Mail scam). Follow the installation instructions TO THE LETTER! I am an IT pro and it took me four times going through the procedure because I thought I knew what they wanted... don't think, just follow the instructions (provided with DataPilot) EXACTLY.
If you do that, you will be able to use the DataPilot program to interact with your phone. You can edit, upload, or download addresses, or download pictures from the phone (no upload at this time).
Again, it is important to follow the instructions carefully. Failure to do so won't hurt your phone, but will make you frustrated that you can't get it working. It has to do with using the Susteen USB cable driver that comes with DataPilot rather than using the ser2pl.sys file... I can't give you all of the details (it has been awhile), but trust me, it does work.
- Joe
One shouldn't have to pay anything extra to get a device to work the way it was presented. I would not have bought this phone if I had known all this.
It's like buying a new car and having to immediately take it in to a shop and pay extra in order to make it run. I guess I am stuck waiting for Sanyo to make the drivers available, that is if I don't take this phone back and shove it up Sprint. Alas, that is probably not possible.
I followed your advice and calmed down. I bought the DataPilot software and one of their data cables ($29.95 for the CD and $19.95 for the cable.) Followed the instructions. Phone did not sync to computer. Contacted DataPilot tech support and let them remotely connect to my computer. They could not get the phone to sync. At least DataPilot has a 30 day money back guarantee and they refunded all my money.
@everyone else
Called Sprint to complain. They told me I could return the SCP-3810 to any full-service Sprint phone store as long as I was within 30 days of original order. My old phone would be reactivated. Went to a full service store. They charged me a $35.00 "restocking fee" for the privilege of returning the phone. Seems like the extremely fine print on page 1,397,052 of the Sprint terms of service contract says you can return a phone within 30 days and there will be no restocking fee PROVIDED the returned phone was attached to a NEW ACCOUNT or a NEW LINE for an existing account. If the phone was an UPGRADE to an EXISTING LINE OF SERVICE the $35.00 restocking fee would apply. If you want to return the SCP-3810 be prepared to shell out an immediate $35.00 restocking fee. I feel lucky in that I was able to get Sprint customer service (not the full service store) to adjust my monthly bill for the $35 after I complained loudly enough.
Hope this helps.
to leeanon,
Thanks much for the return info. I have till the 16th to get a reply from Sanyo, then I will return the phone if no drivers are available. They can keep the stupid pictures on the worthless phone. I knew I should have went with Vorizon. Oh well one continues to lean all the time. Good luck with your NEW phone.
@Marv -
Just some additional information I got from the techie who reprogrammed my old cell phone after I turned in the SCP-3810. It may save you or someone else the same grief I experienced. Basically, if you want a phone to sync directly to a computer, you need a smartphone.
In the beginning, there were cell phones and personal digital assistants (or PDAs). Cell phones were used for making calls--and not much else--while PDAs, like the Palm Pilot, were used as personal, portable organizers. Eventually, PDAs gained wireless connectivity and were able to send and receive e-mail. Cell phones, meanwhile, gained messaging capabilities, too. PDAs then added cellular phone features, while cell phones added more PDA-like (and even computer-like) features. The result was the smartphone. From what I could find out, there is no real industry wide standard as to what makes a cell phone a smartphone. But all smartphones seem to have the following similarities or features:
Operating System: In general, a smartphone will be based on an operating system that allows it to run productivity applications. BlackBerry smartphones run the BlackBerry OS, while other devices run the Palm OS or Windows Mobile. Then there are those smartphones that use a basic version of Linux.
Software: While almost all cell phones include some sort of software (even the most basic models these days include an address book or some sort of contact manager, for example), a smartphone will have the ability to do more. It may allow you to create and edit Microsoft Office documents--or at least view the files. It may allow you to download applications, such as personal and business finance managers. Or it may allow you to edit photos, get driving directions via GPS, and create a playlist of digital tunes. A smartphone will also allow you to add additional software to run specific applications (like being able to sync the phone directly to a computer.)
Web Access: More smartphones can access the web at higher speeds, thanks to the growth of 4G data networks and the addition of Wi-Fi support to many handsets. Not all smartphones offer high-speed web access. But they all offer some sort of access. You can use your smartphone to surf the net. Just because you can sign up for web access through your carrier does NOT necessarily mean the phone becomes a smartphone.
QWERTY Keyboard: Not a numeric pad where you have to click the number 7 multiple times to type a P, Q, R, or S. The keyboard can be a part of the phone or appear as a touch screen like on the iPhone.
Messaging: Just about all cell phones made within the past couple of years can send and receive text messages, but what sets a smartphone apart is its handling of e-mail. A smartphone can sync with your personal--and, sometimes, your professional--e-mail account. Some smartphones can support multiple e-mail accounts. Others include access to instant messaging services like Yahoo! Messenger.
If the phone you're looking at is missing one or more of these features, it may not have or support the necessary drivers to sync directly to your computer. You may be able to find 3rd party software like that offered by DataPilot. But you also run the risk of losing any warranty service by either the phone manufacturer and/or your carrier (Sprint, etc.)
As I said in my post, using DataPilot worked for me. It is not easy to do, because most of us think we know how to install drivers and such. There is a very specific way to install the cable driver. I will try to find the email they sent me with the exact directions and post them.
As for buying third party software to get it working, well, if your Sprint rep told you that you didn't need third party software, he lied. There is no working driver from Sanyo for this phone yet.
As I mentioned before, DP is a lot cheaper than using Sprint PictureMail.
I will look for the instructions tonight. All you need to have are a working USB cable to connect the phone to a USB port, and the DP software. Stay tuned for step-by-step instructions.
- Joe
Just got off the phone with sprint tech support. still no usb driver for scp3810 as of 7:30 pm5/6/10
You may have already found this out, but Sanyo phones are manufactured by Kyocera. Try going to www.kyocera.com and search there. I think you'll have better luck.

Ahold's Struggles Continue
Dutch grocer expects "significant impact" from accounting scandal.
NEW YORK -- Dutch retailer Ahold Tuesday warned that the accounting scandal that broke earlier this year will have "a significant impact" on its 2003 results, according to a Dow Jones Newswires report. The grocery retailer said its loss last year totaled $5.02 billion under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), according to audited results filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The loss last year was due largely to accounting improprieties disclosed earlier this year. Two weeks ago, Ahold said its 2002 net loss totaled approximately $700 million under Dutch accounting standards and it warned that the figure under GAAP would be sharply wider.
The difference stems largely from the different treatment of goodwill impairment at Ahold's U.S. Foodservice subsidiary. Under GAAP, Ahold booked an additional goodwill-impairment charge of $2.3 billion euros, of which $1.6 billion was related to the U.S. Foodservice unit, Ahold said.
Ahold said that professional fees of lawyers and accountants, together with refinancing costs, will have a significant impact on 2003 income.
Ahold also said it expects sales this year "will be negatively affected by the weak global economy and strong competition in the markets where we operate."
Ahold also announced today that it has completed the sale of Golden Gallon, its fuel and merchandise convenience store operation in the southeastern United States to The Pantry Inc. for $187 million. The sale of Golden Gallon, announced in August, is part of Ahold's planned restructuring to focus on its core food businesses. Golden Gallon operates 138 convenience stores and has 1,100 employees.

[IMGCAP(1)][IMGCAP(2)]Investors try to maximize investment returns while managing the level of risk in their portfolios. But only after-tax investment returns are truly available to the investor. Tax consequences should be considered before making any investments. Tax treatment, good or bad, can have a significant impact on an investment decision.
Investments come in many forms and can fall anywhere on the spectrum of tax efficiency. Portfolios should be structured according to the tax efficiency of particular investments, as well as to an investor's unique set of circumstances. Depending upon the availability of taxable and tax deferred investment account balances, the most tax efficient investments should be placed in taxable accounts, and the least tax efficient investments should be placed in tax deferred accounts. Investment placement should continue using tax efficiency criteria until all assets are placed.

In my quest to become more frugal and get my grocery budget down, I finally decided that I could no longer buy from Schwan's. We actually decided this about a year ago, but I'm a sucker for lunch at my door.
In looking through my July and August spending, I got really frustrated with myself and decided that if I was going to achieve my goals, Schwan's definitely had to go. I'm not a big buyer anyway, but some things I just HAD to have.
The Schwan's man was not happy with me yesterday, but what can I say. "Your prices are ridiculous, and they just keep going up!" That was what I was thinking, instead I just politely told him that we are trying to stick to our budget, and there is no room for Schwan's.
He tried to woo me with their new White-Castle like burgers. Oh they are a great after school snack for your kids, there are 8 in a box, all for only $9.99. Say what?!
Walgreen's has 'em 2/$6 and I have some .50 coupons. Price match and take my coupon, and I'll stay.
Good thing I didn't actually say that (can't say that it didn't cross my mind though), he woulda surely laughed in my face!

Author | exchange4media News Service | Saturday, Feb 21,2004 7:23 AM
Consumer durables company Electrolux Kelvinator Ltd (EKL) has de-linked its distribution network from the service function in a bid to boost its image as a consumer-friendly company.
The company is in the process of rolling out a customer service enhancement programme called Insta Service, which will include the setting up of exclusive Insta Service branded centres.
"The company has set a target to have 300 such exclusive service centres by the end of 2004 and one Master Service Centre in each metro by 2005," Mr Rajesh Sahni, General Manager - Consumers Services, EKL, said.
Incidentally, after-sales service has emerged as a sore point with consumers purchasing consumer electronics and durables in the market.
"We have set ourselves the goal of becoming the most customer-friendly brand by 2005. Our new initiative campaign also involves the Internet in a big way," Mr Sahni said.
The company has set up a Web site, wherein a customer can register his complaint and is assured of a response within the next 24 hours. Consumers can also specify whether they have been satisfied with the service or not.
The site will also serve to connect all the service centres with a centralised parts depot (which will be set up towards mid-2004). "The centralised depot would store parts or components of the appliances, the availability information on which would be available on the site. Therefore, if a service centre requires a part, it simply needs to log on to the site and order it. This would enable them to provide speedier service to the consumer," Mr Sahni said.
Electrolux would also be coming out with an `application lifeline' initiative targeted at consumers who own appliances with expired warranties. "Consumers will be able to buy `lifeline' vouchers off the shelves for about Rs 250 to Rs 400. This would entitle them to 12 months of free service apart from other benefits," Mr Sahni said.

Local law enforcement officials announced this week that they are now accepting donations and volunteers for this year's Shop with a Cop program, which is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 19.
During the Monday, Nov. 16 Leitchfield City Council meeting, Leitchfield Chief of Police Kevin Henderson said Walmart had donated approximately $2,500 to the 2015 Shop with a Cop, an increase of about $1,500 from last year.
Grayson County Sheriff Norman Chaffins is coordinating Shop with a Cop with Henderson and said that, this year, local police hope to be able to take up to 40 children in need shopping for Christmas through the program.
Chaffins said Grayson County has not always had a local Shop with a Cop program, but during his time with the Kentucky State Police (KSP), he participated in the agency's similar Shop with a Trooper program every year.
After he retired from the KSP and joined the Leitchfield Police Department (LPD) as School Resource Officer, Chaffins wanted to establish a local Shop with a Cop.
Shop with a Cop offers local children of underprivileged families the opportunity to be taken to Walmart by local law enforcement who will buy the children items such as clothes and toys.
It also affords local law enforcement the opportunity to show underprivileged children another, more positive side of the police than they might be used to.
"It's a joy for us," Chaffins said.
The first year Chaffin and Henderson coordinated a Shop with a Cop, the program benefitted around 15 to 20 local children, while the second year saw that number increase to 30 to 35.
Rough River Pizza Company has volunteered to feed all the children benefitted by this year's Shop with a Cop for free, following the event, and the Grayson County Sheriff's Office (GCSO) and LPD will pay for the food of any adults who volunteer to help with the event, Chaffins said.
Anyone who wishes to volunteer to assist with Shop with a Cop or make a donation to the program should contact Henderson at the LPD by phone at 270-259-3850 or Chaffins at the GCSO by phone at 270-259-3024.
Also, those who wish to recommend either their own family or another family for consideration as beneficiaries of this year's Shop with a Cop should call the GCSO and leave the family's contact information. The GCSO will then contact the family personally to determine if there is a need.
Chaffins said that with the numerous other community programs that seek to benefit the underprivileged during the holidays, local law enforcement is looking to, ideally, benefit local families through Shop with a Cop whom are not already receiving assistance through another program.
In other business:
*City Councilmember William Dallas suggested recognizing community members whom have made efforts to beautify Leitchfield.
Leitchfield Mayor William Thomason said City Clerk/Treasurer Kim Sowders will contact the individuals to be recognized, and the city will honor them at the next City Council meeting.
*The City Council approved closing the city's current certificate of deposit (CD) and opening a new one at Fort Knox Federal Credit Union to receive a better rate.
*Dallas said he was contacted by two local individuals whom are having issues with their cable through Comcast; however, neither of them had contacted Comcast to file complaints.
Dallas and the City Council requested that any citizen who is having problems with his or her Comcast cable call the cable company and file a complaint; otherwise the issues will likely not be resolved.
"Please call if you're having trouble with your cable," he said.
Additionally, Leitchfield Public Works Director Sheila Puckett said any local citizens who are experiencing issues with the signal for local Channel 2 should also call Comcast because the City of Leitchfield has no control over the channel's signal.
*The City Council ratified approval for Thomason to execute contract documents with McNutt Construction for American Legion Post 81 Veterans Memorial Park.

A report says disgraced cyclist Floyd Landis has collected audio and video recordings for federal officials investigating doping in cycling.
The New York Daily News citing anonymous sources Sunday said Landis wore a concealed recorder and video camera during a meeting last spring with designer and cycling team owner Michael Ball.
The sources said the recordings helped Food and Drug Administration agent Jeff Novitzky obtain a search warrant for Ball's apartment.
Landis and several members of Ball's Rock Racing team were teammates with seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong.
Landis has accused Armstrong and members of the former U.S. Postal team of systematic doping. Landis was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title for doping.

Christian clerics today demanded that the Church of England honour its commitment to disinvest from Israeli companies operating in the occupied territories.
Clerics urge church to disinvest from Israel
LONDON // Christian clerics today demanded that the Church of England honour its commitment to disinvest from Israeli companies operating in the occupied territories. More than 20 clerics and theologians, including Alun Morinan, national co-ordinator of the Christian Network's Campaign Against the Arms Trade, signed a letter to be published today in The Guardian newspaper, calling for immediate action.
Amid growing public protests in Britain since the Gaza offensive, including a sit-in at a leading Scottish university and a mass demonstration on Saturday at an Israeli import centre in London, the clerics complain that the General Synod, the ruling body of the Church of England, had done nothing to implement a three-year-old commitment to disinvest. The letter says: "In February, 2006, the Church of England voted at the General Synod to disinvest in companies that operated in the Palestinian occupied territories, saying that there was a need for 'morally responsible investment'.
"This was a highly principled decision by the Synod, one that we totally support. "However, since that resolution was passed, the Church has not acted on that decision and it still remains that the Church of England has investments in companies that profit from the suppression of human rights in the Palestinian occupied territories. "We believe that given the events in Gaza as well as the continued illegal occupation of whole swathes of Palestinian land and the illegal land grabs by settlers, supported by the Israeli government, that the Church of England must make good on its policy of disinvestment and withdraw its investments from those who profit from the misery of millions of Palestinians immediately."
The London-based Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) applauded the move. Betty Hunter, its general secretary, said the General Synod had taken "a morally courageous decision" to disinvest. "Sadly, three years on and the Church of England retains investments of £2.2 million [Dh12m] in a company, Caterpillar, whose bulldozers and heavy machinery are used to extract the legitimate residents of Palestine to be replaced by illegal settlers.
"I hope that the General Synod will take heed of what their own clergy and congregations are saying and disinvest now." Nobody from the Church of England was available for comment yesterday but, after the General Synod vote, Rowan Williams, the archbishop of Canterbury, appeared to back away from the call to disinvest. Apparently alarmed by the angry reaction of leading Jews in Britain, Dr Williams, who voted in favour of the motion, denied that it was a commitment to disinvest but, rather, "to engage with companies about whom we had concerns".
Meanwhile, pro-Palestinian campaigners in the United Kingdom were celebrating a victory in academia yesterday after a student sit-in in the foyer of Strathclyde University in Glasgow ended when the university authorities agreed to cancel a contract with an Israeli water company. About 40 students took part in the protest, organised by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, demanding that the university cut all ties with Israel following the Gaza offensive.
The students' demands included the cancellation of a contract with Eden Springs, its main water cooler supplier, and the creation of a scholarship programme for Palestinian students at Strathclyde. The university authorities agreed to both of these demands and also to broadcast an appeal across the campus for funds to help those suffering in Gaza. Danny McGregor, one of the protesters, told yesterday's Scotsman newspaper: "We are happy with what we have achieved. We were in there for 24 hours and we feel we made a lot of progress."
Peter West, the university secretary, said: "The university expresses its deep concern about the plight of the people of Gaza. We are particularly aware that the infrastructure of higher education has been damaged, making it particularly difficult for Palestinian students to pursue their studies. "The university has made a number of undertakings, including supporting its students in their effort to raise funds for the rebuilding of Gaza. In addition, it will create a scholarship scheme for Palestinian students, similar to the scheme already offered to students from Rwanda."
Dr West added that he hoped Strathclyde's actions would "encourage universities across Scotland" to join the scholarships scheme. In London, the Boycott Israeli Goods (Big) campaign organised a demonstration outside the main depot of Carmel Agrexco, the Israeli state export company. Tom Hayes, a spokesman for Big, said: "The aim of the protest was to draw attention to this company's sale of flowers from occupied Palestinian land on Valentine's Day.
"We are asking the British public not to buy bloodstained flowers for their loved ones this year. Following the murder of more than 1,300 people and the maiming of nearly 6,000, the majority women and children, in Gaza, it is vital that we keep in the public consciousness that, by purchasing Israeli goods, they are supporting the slaughter of innocent people." email@example.com

LAFAYETTE — Last year's two games between University High and Teurlings Catholic were one-sided gunfights.
Not so much on Friday night, when the teams staged an old-fashioned shootout.
But once again, the Cubs had one extra bullet, and Nick Brossette capped a workhorse night with the game-deciding two-point conversion with 28 seconds left, lifting second-ranked University to a 36-35 win over the upset-minded Rebels Friday at Teurlings Stadium.
The Cubs (1-0), without the services of starting quarterback Manny Miles, drove 68 yards in 12 plays in the final 4:16, and sophomore Dylan Moses powered across from three yards out to pull the Cubs within 35-34.
Miles, who suffered an apparent sprained ankle on his eight-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter, was unavailable to try a potential tying kick conversion. So after two time outs, Cubs coach Chad Mahaffey called Brossette's number right up the middle of the Teurlings defense, and he easily got into the end zone for his second two-point conversion run.
"Our guys just absolutely stepped up," Mahaffey said. "We had so many things that we prepared for, but so many things we couldn't prepare for. It was an unbelievable team effort ... one of the best I've ever been involved in."
And even at that, it wasn't over until TCHS junior kicker Brayden Blanchard pulled a 39-yard field goal wide right with one second left.
The Rebels took a 35-28 lead with 9:54 left when quarterback Cole Kelley led a 65-yard, nine-play march and hit Nate Arceneaux with a 21-yard pass across the middle for the go-ahead score after Blanchard's extra point. TCHS stopped one Cub drive at midfield on Hunter Venable's fourth-down sack of Cub backup quarterback Jalon Baker with 6:54 left, but the Rebels couldn't get a key first down and came up short on a fourth down at the Cub 33 to give the visitors the final opportunity.
"They (University) did what they had to do," Rebels coach Sonny Charpentier said. "Our execution wasn't what it had to be. We didn't like looking at what happened last year, but tonight was a competition. I'm still proud of our kids."
Teurlings (0-1) had lost 41-15 to the Cubs in last year's season opener in Baton Rouge and lost to University 55-30 in the regional round of last year's Division II select playoffs. In both of those games, the Cubs took control early, but that didn't happen this time.
In fact, the Rebels put up two scores and kept University's offense bottled up in the first quarter, with Sage LeBlanc's 23-yard halfback pass to Arceneaux and Baylor Thompson's six-yard run providing the hosts with a 14-0 lead nine minutes into the game. At that point, the Cubs had a total of no first downs and six offensive yards in two possessions.
Miles engineered two second-quarter scoring drives, finishing one with a one-yard sneak and hitting Malik Antoine from seven yards out 37 seconds before halftime that pulled University within 21-14.
Kelley, though, hit LeBlanc for a 27-yard score in between, and it only took the Rebels 27 seconds to counter when Kelley hit a streaking Grant LeGrange over the middle for a 33-yard score and a 28-14 halftime lead.
The Cubs claimed the second of three Rebel turnovers in the opening three minutes of the second half when Kelley was picked off by Antoine, who returned it 37 yards to the Teurlings 23. Miles scrambled right for the eight-yard score six plays later to cut it to 28-20, but he left the game and did not return after his extra point attempt was blocked.
Baylor Thompson's fumble at the Cub 31 gave University possession again on the next drive, and Baker scrambled 28 yards just before the end of the third quarter. Brossette, who finished with 150 rush yards, ran in the two-point conversion that tied the game.

The Mumbai-based ANZ Lifestyles is putting its best foot forward by setting up around 20 Marco Ricci exclusive shoe stores in nine cities by the end of 2006. This expansion plan will include franchise offerings and setting up company owned stores.
"With the ongoing retail boom, brands will soon occupy a centre space in the economy. We plan to capitalise on this opportunity and enhance our brand visibility," Mr Mehboob Haider, Managing Director, ANZ Lifestyles, told Business Line.
While Marco Ricci has presence across 250 multi-brand outlets and one exclusive store at the In-Orbit Mall in Mumbai, it plans to set up six more stores in Mumbai, five in Delhi, four in Hyderabad and three in Bangalore.
"The fund raising strategy for the expansion is three-fold — from banks, internal accruals, and a few angel investors, who have participated in our earlier investments. The expansion of the product line will also add to the coffers," Mr Haider said.
While ANZ Lifestyles will handle the marketing aspects of Marco Ricci, it has entered into a strategic tie-up with the Noida-based M&B footwear, which handles all its manufacturing function. "When we took off with Marco Ricci, we used to import every product. Now 40 per cent of our shoes are imported, and the rest is manufactured by M&B," Mr Haider added.
The overall footwear business is estimated at Rs 4,000 crore of which the organised sector accounts for around 30 per cent, with footwear monoliths such as Bata, Liberty, Action, commanding chunks of the mass market.
The premium Marco Ricci shoes command prices of Rs 2,200 and upwards, where the only competitor is from the US-based Florshem shoes, which has its presence through franchisees.
ANZ Lifestyles' business plan for 2005 is to initially focus on garnering sizeable retail presence for the Italian brand. This will be followed with the introduction of Marco Ricci garments, accessories and products specific to men's wardrobe.
"We plan to launch men's garments such as bottom wear denim's by May. This will follow host of other launches such as men's soap, deodorants, and facial screens," said Mr Haider.
ANZ Lifestyles spent around Rs 2.5 crore on advertising and promotions on a turnover of Rs 9.5 crore registered in March 2004. The company has signed on actor Sanjay Dutt as its brand ambassador.
