Health board receives 1,400 calls for hepatitis C tests
We are really pleased with the response from women that have received a letter, so far we have received over 1,400 calls from women that have received individual letters offering a blood test for hepatitis C and over 1,000 appointments have been booked.
43 specialist nurse led clinics will be held across the Health Board area for the next 5 weeks including weekends and we will continue to do everything we can to support patients.
– Dr Gill Richardson, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board
We would encourage all women who receive a letter to contact the dedicated helpline number (open from 8am -8pm, 7 days a week) which is contained in each letter, to arrange their test as soon as possible.
We need to again stress that the risk of transmission is low and testing is being provided as a precautionary measure.

Turning 34 today, Zooey Deschanel has a lot to celebrate this year. With another Golden Globe nomination, plenty of previous nods (including an Emmy and a Grammy nomination), and a popular website to her name, Zooey defines triple threat. The actress/musician/entrepreneur has been in the spotlight for several years, but her hit TV show New Girl has catapulted her to a new level of fame. Add the success of her She & Him albums and her website, Hello Giggles, and it's clear that she's talented in more ways than one. To celebrate Zooey's 34th birthday, we're taking a look at some of her most insightful quotes on womanhood, relationships, and more! Source: Getty On Working Hard What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Definitely none of the kids I grew up with would have ever thought, 'Zooey will be on television and have her own show.' I wasn't the world's most popular child, which gave me built-in tenacity. Nothing has ever come easy for me, and I think that's a really good thing. I learned at an early age that you have to work hard for what you get." — Zooey told Elle Magazine 1 / 21 On Comedy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I think comedy's just about being interested in comedy and what makes people laugh and experimenting. I've always loved making people laugh . . . but I did drama, too. I sort of consider myself a comedic actress, not a comedienne. Playing into comedic situations is sort of where, I think, my strength lies." — Zooey told College Magazine Source: Getty 2 / 21 On Her Look What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "This business is all about branding! But I've never been like, 'Let's calculate an image.' I'm just, 'I like that. Let's do that.' I grew up loving French New Wave movies, and so a lot of what I like is that style. It's just about doing what you like so that when you look at yourself, you're not disgusted. And I'm all about unintentional." — Zooey told Glamour Source: Getty 3 / 21 On Growing Up What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I find the more I get to know myself, the happier I am — and the better I am. I think that's true of everyone." — Zooey told Health magazine Source: Getty 4 / 21 On Being Seen as Quirky What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I always wanted to be normal. But it's like I try so hard to be normal and people still say I'm offbeat. I guess it's part of the thing of being an actor: you realize you have a persona and that you have to accept it. You have to know your limitations. Sometimes you'll play a part and it just doesn't work, you know? But that's part of me that I've learned to accept and take advantage of as an actor." — Zooey told Stylist UK Source: Pacific Coast News Online 6 / 21 On What Women Want What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Women are won over by people who are sweet and respectful and pretty and kind and funny — those are the things that win women over. And the mistake that anyone can make is not being themselves. You can only trick people for so long." — Zooey told Ask Men Source: Getty 6 / 21 On Being "Adorkable" What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "When I was 13, I wasn't the coolest kid in my class, and that inner dork is a wonderful thing to have. On behalf of middle-schoolers all around, I would like to represent! I was a lot like Jess, and I'll leave it at that." — Zooey told Ask Men Source: Instagram user zooeydeschanel 7 / 21 On Feminism What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "We can't be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f-cking feminist and wear a f-cking Peter Pan collar. So f-cking what?" — Zooey told Glamour Source: Getty 8 / 21 On Following Her Instincts What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Somebody asked me, 'How did you start doing comedy?' and I was like, 'By being unintentionally funny.' I think making a movie or a record, the best things happen by accident — and those end up being the magic. Every time I've followed my gut, it's been better than when I've tried to do what I was supposed to do." — Zooey told Glamour Source: Getty 9 / 21 On Film vs. Television What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I'm just going where the material is. Some of the smartest people run the network I'm on. People sometimes say, 'Oh, you were a movie star,' and I'm like, 'No, I was a supporting actress.' I wasn't an A-list actress, and I'm fine with that. I'm proud of what I did in film. But getting to do the stuff that I was passionate about was such an uphill battle. If New Girl had been a movie, I don't know whether I would have been given the opportunity to do it." — Zooey told Glamour Source: Fox 11 / 21 On Body Image What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Actresses have definitely gotten thinner over the course of my lifetime. Women I admired growing up — Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep — were all beautiful and thin, but not too thin. There are a lot of actresses who are unhealthy-skinny — much, much too skinny. You can't Pilates to that. I'm a very small person, and if I lost 15 pounds, I'd look like them; it's scary. For young girls, what does that say? You need to look this way to be successful? That's not true. You do not need to look or be anorexic to be successful in Hollywood. The range of what's acceptable is larger than what people believe." — Zooey told Glamour Source: Getty 11 / 21 On Relationships What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I don't get it when people just have the goal of meeting someone — then it's only about the goal. I've never been a five-year planner." — Zooey told Glamour Source: Getty 12 / 21 On Her Fashion Choices What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I always think that fashion is an expression of how you're feeling right at that moment. I mean, there are times when people don't like what I wear, but I like it, so I don't care about them." — Zooey told Allure Source: Getty 13 / 21 On Having Guy Friends What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I've always had a lot of guy friends, so I love the camaraderie between Jess and the guys. I think it's important to have guy friends because it provides a different perspective. I really like the relationship." — Zooey told College Magazine Source: Getty 14 / 21 On Her Creative Outlets What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I love writing music and that's a real outlet for me, and then acting's a whole other [thing]. It's sort of like I need it all." — Zooey told Allure Source: Getty 15 / 21 On Being Grateful What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I just feel really happy that I get to have a job that I love. . . . A steady job is fun." — Zooey told Allure Source: Getty 16 / 21 On How She Winds Down What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I'm not a spa girl. And I sort of go insane if I go to a place that's too remote. Just being at home and getting to have a couple hours where there's nothing planned is completely relaxing to me." — Zooey told Health magazine Source: Getty 17 / 21 On Her Site, Hello Giggles What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I co-founded it with my two friends, Molly and Sophia. We wanted to create a place that was a positive destination, where we had a lot of interesting writers, not just people who write for a living, but people with a lot of different perspectives. It's really fun to have created a place for people to express themselves. And also, we don't allow negative comments on the site, because we don't want our writers to feel bad about expressing themselves. We want them to feel free and happy." — Zooey told Stylist UK Source: Getty 18 / 21 On the Evolution of New Girl's Jess What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I'm watching every week and seeing what's working. I'm using my own sensibilities to inform how I play the character. So, if I think something seems like too much, the next time we do something like that, I'm going to pull it back a little bit. I think all of us are doing that." — Zooey told BuzzSugar Source: Fox 19 / 21 On Reading Reviews What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I try not to read reviews. Some people have an 'all or nothing' approach. They read everything and they're maniacs about it. Or they are off the grid and don't read anything. I'm a little bit in between. I just sort of read the good reviews. If somebody is trashing me, I don't really want to hear it. I like people who like me. People love having an opinion, which is great, but I don't always need to hear it. I need to trust my own judgment about the performances I give. I'll be very critical of myself. If I watch something and it's not right, I'll freely admit it to myself. I try to trust my own instincts." — Zooey told Stylist UK Source: Getty 20 / 21 On How She Sees Herself What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I think I'm pretty fun. I'm pretty much always cheerful. I go on tour with my band, and it's 12 people on one bus. And I feel like I'm the one who's happy in the morning. I'm not a chaotic person, but cheerful. But I might slack off on doing dishes." — Zooey told Stylist UK Source: Getty 21 / 21 0 4 14 0 0 Read More Zooey Deschanel Zooey Deschanel Jess Day's Awkward Girl's Guide to Dating 1 day ago A Light Summer Soup That'll Have You Feeling Like a New Girl 5/30 Try Zooey Deschanel's Favorite Summer Soup 5/22 Reese Trades Her Met Gala Dream Team For Zooey Deschanel 5/06 The Inside Scoop on the Met Gala, Right From the Red Carpet 5/06 Nick and Jess Cozy Up in New Girl's Season Finale Pictures 5/06 Get a Personalized Celebrity & Entertainment Newsletter!

First of all,. it is quite fun playing around with this port of Python. I think some people did a hell of a job!
I tried several examples on a real device (the orginal NGage) and emulator and I found out that the weather stuff and my own internet access is not working properly anymore: after working for two times, it somehow does not get to the maps on the internet anymore. When I use the same url in the WAP browser it works fine, so there isn't a problem with the WAP gateway.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

BOUNTIFUL – The Viewmont Lady Vikings lost for the first time this season on Friday against Brighton, 51-45.
However, Bountiful, Woods Cross and Davis picked up wins during preseason play. The Braves beat Weber 69-56, the Wildcats beat Olympus 57-46, and the Darts doubled up on Clearfield, 47-20.
The Lady Vikings, who are ranked No. 12 in the state, suffered their first loss at the hands of the Bengals, who are ranked No. 11.
In the loss, Caitlyn Larsen led the scoring with a game-high 22 points, including three 3-pointers. Katie Toole finished with eight points, but the Vikings were doomed by a poor start. They were held to 16 first half points and were outscored 29-19 between the second and third quarters.
Bountiful's win over 5A Weber was the Lady Braves' second straight victory following a 2-3 start, and was guided by the scoring efforts of Ashley Eyring, Kennedy Merrick and Tiana Dougher.
Eyring tied for the game-high in points with 23 and also had three rebounds and three steals in the game. Merrick and Dougher finished with double-doubles. Merrick scored 17 points with 10 rebounds and Dougher added 12 points with 13 rebounds in the win.
Jenny Skedros showed a strong overall effort as well, picking up seven points with seven steals and six assists.
The Lady Wildcats' win over Olympus was Woods Cross' second straight victory and followed a double-digit win over Taylorsville on Thursday.
Camille Horrocks was the centerpiece of the offense, scoring 12 points and pulling down 11 rebounds to finish with a double-double for the first time this season.
Eden Jacobsen and Aliyah Miller each added 11 points.
Woods Cross' offense and defense really stepped up during the second half as they outscored the Titans 35-23.
The Lady Darts put an end to their small two-game losing skid by holding Clearfield to 20 points during the entire game last Friday, the lowest total they've allowed all season.
Davis had a near three-fold lead following the first half of play, scoring 35 points while holding the Lady Falcons to 11 in the first 16 minutes.
The Lady Darts also held Davis to nine second-half points in the win.
Jessica Richardson had a solid overall effort for Davis in the win, scoring 10 points with nine rebounds.
Natalie Mecham finished with a game-high 15 points with seven rebounds, and Sarah Beecher added 12 points in the win.
Three of the Lady Vikings' next four games will be on the road, starting with Thursday's game against Riverton.
Bountiful will also have a trio of road games in its next four games, and will travel to Olympus Friday night to take on the Titans.
Woods Cross' next game won't happen until after the moratorium, and will take on Box Elder on the road on Thursday, Jan. 3.
Davis' next game will be held on Saturday, Dec. 29., at home, against Brighton.

BY LOHR McKINSTRY
---- — ELIZABETHTOWN — Michael Fayette says his bosses at the State Department of Transportation tried to fire him from his job as Essex County resident engineer for talking to the news media without their permission.
He ended up retiring earlier this month to settle the misconduct charges leveled against him.
"The end result is I got screwed," Fayette said. "Hugely screwed. At the end of the day the taxpayers of the state lose, too."
Fayette said his troubles started in August 2012, after he gave an interview to a reporter for the Adirondack Daily Enterprise of Saranac Lake.
As resident engineer, he was in charge of all New York State DOT operations within Essex County.
Fayette said he first told the reporter to call DOT public information in Albany but then relented and gave an interview for a Tropical Storm Irene one-year anniversary story.
"I thought the DOT was going to get another black eye (for refusing to talk). I talked to him. He thanked me."
A month later, Fayette received a certified-mail letter ordering him to go to Albany for a meeting with top DOT brass.
"I got blistered at that meeting, all about (the Enterprise) article. It was a positive article. A month later, I got another certified letter to tell me I'm to be immediately terminated as a result of that article."
DOT Employee Relations Acting Director Amelia Dilella wrote the letter to Fayette on Sept. 14, 2012, charging him with a disciplinary violation of State Civil Service Law Section 75.
"You disobeyed a written directive … not to speak directly with the Adirondack Daily Enterprise newspaper concerning the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Irene," she wrote. "Your actions disrupted the commissioner's intent to conduct the interview herself."
The DOT commissioner referred to is Joan McDonald.
But, Fayette said he'd already spoken with the reporter by the time the email directive was issued.
"If you (Fayette) are found guilty of the charge brought against you, the penalty exacted against you will consist of termination," Dilella wrote.
The letter from Dilella said a notice of discipline that Fayette received in early 2011 would also be taken into account, but Fayette said the DOT's own rules prohibit that.
The reference stemmed from his relationship with a woman he worked with at the agency's Essex County headquarters in Elizabethtown, Fayette said.
He was suspended for 10 days without pay for using state equipment and work time for the personal relationship.
"Since it's an unrelated action, and since it took place over a year prior to this situation, NYSDOT rules stipulate that it cannot be cited," he told the Press-Republican. "For me personally, it was an embarrassing moment in my career. Rather than fight it, I accepted what probably were excessively harsh charges. I just wanted it to be over with. Never would have thought that it would be used to hammer me."
At that point, Fayette got an attorney, and he said DOT finally relented and agreed to allow him to retire instead of being fired.
He resigned and activated his retirement, effective Feb. 8, 2013, to settle the charges.
"I chose to retire because I had no other alternative," Fayette said. "I was forced into a corner, not of my doing, by the DOT."
Before his retirement date arrived, Fayette made a presentation about his radio-watch program at the November 2012 meeting of the Essex County Board of Supervisors Public Works Committee. The program was his effort to have someone take calls and dispatch trucks 24 hours a day during snow season.
He said his appearance at the meeting was pre-approved by his supervisor, but when the Press-Republican covered the meeting and quoted him, Fayette got another certified letter, dated Jan. 7, telling him he'd been told not to speak to the press.
This time, the letter was from DOT Employee Relations Director Raymond LaMarco.
"You are hereby suspended effective immediately for acts of insubordination and failure to comply with settlement terms previously agreed upon and in lieu of disciplinary termination charges," LaMarco wrote. "You shall remain suspended until your official resignation date."
Fayette then had to use his accumulated vacation time, which he'd plan to cash in when he left, so his health insurance and other benefits would continue.
"This was a witch hunt for nothing," he said. "I was forced to retire well before I wanted to. It's so far over the top it's not funny."
In response to a Press-Republican call, DOT spokeswoman Carol Breen said she could not discuss Fayette's situation.
"We don't comment on personnel issues."
Fayette said the whole situation was a nightmare for him.
"I've had a whole lot of sleepless nights. I was just doing my job. I don't know why they singled me out."
His case is unusual, Fayette said, because DOT management-level employees often talk to the press and nothing happens to them.
"To my knowledge, no one has been charged with official misconduct for speaking to the media. I have copies of numerous newspaper articles in which DOT personnel from around the state have been quoted in newspapers. None that I know of have been charged with anything."
He said he has since heard from some of his colleagues that they are also wary of irritating DOT leadership and ending up like Fayette.
"We are scared of everything we do now," he said. "There's a level of fear within the DOT."
A U.S. Army veteran who served as a combat engineer, Fayette had worked for DOT since 1983 and had been resident engineer for Essex County since 2004.
He lived in Port Kent during the week, commuting to his house in Alexandria Bay on his days off.
Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas (D-Jay) praised Fayette, saying he always did his best to aid them during disasters.
"I had a great working relationship with him. He was accessible, and he was accessible during storms and disasters. I can only speak highly of Mr. Fayette."
Douglas said Fayette will be missed by those who worked with him.
"I wish him the best in his retirement."
Ted Luck, president of Luck Brothers, a Plattsburgh-based construction company, said by email that he was astonished to hear of Fayette's problems with DOT.
"We have worked with Mr. Fayette on many occasions since he has been in charge in Essex County since 2004 and have nothing but compliments for him and his crew. He is a complete gentleman and has always been totally professional in all our dealings.
"He was a huge attribute to the North Country and will be sorely missed," Luck continued. "The Essex County (DOT) Residency was much better off with Mike in command."
Fayette, whose salary was about $99,000 before he retired, said he's speaking out in the hope someone in state government will take up his cause and get him his job back.
"Retiring when I did was completely involuntary, but it was the best option available to me. Ultimately, I would like to be reinstated. I'd like to be made whole. A serious wrong has been done to me."

For once, we'd like to hear the Lowell School Department tell the taxpayers it won't need extra money to educate the city's 14,600 students.
That would be real music to our ears from this $135-million public-school organization, which somehow fails year in and year out to build a surplus from its budget. Or at least that's what we're led to believe. (Remember several years ago when facing a financial crisis, the School Department "'found" more than $1 million laying around at the start of the new school year?)
This past week Jay Lang, the school system's deputy superintendent of Finance and Operations, delivered a "worst-case scenario" in a prelude to upcoming budget discussions. He said the district is facing a $2.78 million deficit in fiscal 2014 and that 25 teachers might be laid off.
That's unacceptable.
Lang based his dire projection on the House of Representatives' budget, which allots a much smaller increase for education aid than Gov. Deval Patrick's overly excessive budget increase.
Of course, the Senate weighed in Thursday with a compromise. It met the House and Patrick half way, increasing school aid to communities by $55 million in its version of the budget. A joint House-Senate budget committee will now meet to reconcile the final amount.
But even if all state communities receive more funding, we still question why it is that nearly every school district -- and Lowell in particular -- has a deficit at the end of the year?
The Lowell School Committee recently approved new contracts for teachers, paraprofessionals, cafeteria workers and custodians, giving them a 4.5 salary increase over two years. The board also created a new pension-sweetening salary grid for veteran teachers, reserving a .5 percent increase for teachers with at least 15 years experience. Finally, the board doubled tuition reimbursement for teachers who take additional college courses to $1,000.
The point is: Why give out pay raises and perks if you suspect there will be a deficit?
City Manager Bernie Lynch has already proposed giving the School Department an extra $1 million toward its budget while aiming for another overall zero tax increase. Give the manager credit for keeping a tight rein on the city side of the ledger. Why can't the School Department do the same?
We urge Lang to go back to the drawing board and instead of issuing a "worst-case scenario," find efficiencies that are worth crowing about to the public. When you can't save 2 percent of a $135 million budget, something is wrong.


text: The BBC's tablet experiments turn iPads into mobile production suites Technology 17 June 11 by Olivia Solon Tweet TV CompanionBBC R&D The BBC is finding ways to harness tablet PCs throughout its business, with its R&D team building production tools and content platforms designed to be consumed via a second screen.At a visit to the BBC's R&D department this week, Wired.co.uk met up with software designer Paul Harter, who has been working on a Portable Production Tool (PPT) for the iPad, designed for production teams to use between filming and the editing suite. Often during the production process there is down time between the shoot and when the team gets access to the expensive editing suite. The PPT provides a halfway house where progress on the edit can be made, without incurring the costs associated with using editing suites.The BBC chose to develop a proprietary app -- built from iOS libraries -- as opposed to using an off-the-shelf one because it production teams require a tool that allows them to share content easily.Harter explains: "The ability to sync data and thoughts between devices was vital. I investigated using iPad iMovie, but it doesn't have collaboration built in, or frame accurate editing and clipping. It also lacks the annotation and efficient browsing of large collections of rushes."He adds: "We also needed something that has good enough sound an image quality for review by the editors to check if the shots are perfectly focussed, for example."The PPT process starts with production teams uploading the rushes from their shoot to a central server along with metadata relating to the programme. This is then pushed out to 64GB iPads -- which can store around 200 hours of material, encoded into H.264, but with the encoding settings tweaked to improve quality and performance. Once all the content is on the tablet, editors, directors and other key production team members can cut and edit the scenes they like and shift thumbnails representing each scene around into orders. They can also annotate the scenes at specific moments and share these notes or particular edits. At the end of the process, the app will then output edits in a data format that can feed into a wide range of post-production systems, including Final Cut Pro and Avid.

Story:I was incarcerated at the Utah State Prison, when to everyone's horror, the news was showing the planes flying into the World Trade Center. Everyone around me, including myself, was in complete and total shock. It was as quiet as a graveyard as the news anchorman related the details of what had happened. Shortly thereafter, we watched with heavy hearts as both towers fell.
Memory:Once I got over the initial shock, my first thought was "Oh my God, all of those poor people just died."
Affects:The country, as far as I'm concerned, was caught in a deep sense of complacency. We didn't ever think this type of an attack could happen to us. It only happened 'other' places. For me, personally, it was an outright slap in the face to all that I hold dear.

Organizers hope to raise $1,000 during the 90-minute Zumba class, which is open to all fitness levels and will start Sunday at 3 p.m. The studio is located on Highway 78 East across from Greenhorn Saloon.
Participants are encouraged to get sponsors for each minute they complete. Those who choose not to seek sponsorships will be charged $10 at the door. Donations are also being accepted.
Everyone who raises at least $50 will be entered in a drawing for a month of free Zumba classes.
Studio owner Deana Peek said she wanted to host the fundraiser in honor of client Christi Johnson and her family. Johnson's daughter, Angela Stover Reeves, and granddaughter, Brooke Madison, both have PKD and are also clients at ZFit.
PKD is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts on the kidneys. Peek said that, like many others, she had no knowledge of PKD prior to becoming acquainted with Johnson, Reeves and Madison.
"I thought a Zumba Master Class Fundraiser with all proceeds going to the Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation would be a great way to not only bring awareness to this disease and to raise funds for research for a cure but to let our ladies have a great time in the process," Peek said.
Johnson and several family members also plan to participate in the Birmingham Walk for PKD on Saturday, Sept. 15.
Johnson said increasing awareness of PKD is almost as important as the funds that are raised through events such as the walk and Zumba class.
"When we wear our T-shirts or people see the bracelets, most don't have a clue what PKD is. Besides raising awareness, the money goes to help find a treatment for the disease because as of now there is no cure," Johnson said.

A 47-year-old man accused of intentionally running over a man with his pickup truck has refused an offer from the state to plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a 15 year prison sentence.
Kevin Bialowas of Lisbon, who is being held in lieu of $1 million bond on a murder charge, rejected the plea offer when he appeared this morning in New London Superior Court. Had he accepted the offer, the state would have reduced the charge to manslaughter. His case now will be added to the list of those awaiting trial.
Bialowas was charged in August 2009 with murdering 33-year-old Stephen A. Germano in Norwich on July 14, 2009. Norwich police said he intentionally struck Germano at the intersection of Elm Avenue and East Town Street during a dispute involving Bialowas' female passenger. Germano died six days after the incident of blunt traumatic injuries.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville Metro Police say a robber made a huge mistake when he sold his victim a phone with his photo and personal information on it just before he committed the robbery.
It happened late in the evening of Nov. 20.
Police say 45-year-old Sylvester James Smith was at a Stop N Go Food Mart in Louisville when he sold the man the cell phone for $27.
Smith allegedly came back some time later and asked the man to buy an iPad for $100. The victim drove Smith to the corner of Lagoona Dr. and Samara Dr., near the intersection of Poplar Level Road and Rangeland Road, to get the iPad.
But police say that's not what happened. Instead of getting the iPad, Smith allegedly pulled a knife on the victim.
The man was forced out of his vehicle, and Smith allegedly drove away in it.
But police say Smith made one crucial mistake: the phone he sold to the man earlier in the day had his picture on it, as well as his name and personal information.
Police caught up with Smith on Monday and arrested him for first degree robbery, according to an arrest report.

Ceramic fire pots are the latest in patio decor, but some of those are proving to be fire throwers. Nancy Naeve Brown met a Rock Rapids, Iowa woman who was severely burned by one over the 4th of July weekend. She knows her recovery will be a long and painful one and she wants others to know about the dangers associated with those pots.
To understand how far Julie Timmerman has come from injuries she sustained on July 2nd is to see the before, the day after, and the now.
Julie was airlifted to the Hennepin County Burn Center after catching on fire while vacationing in Okoboji over the 4th of July holiday weekend. She was sitting on a patio with her husband and another couple who had just gotten two new decorative ceramic fire pots.
Julie says, "One of the firepots started to die out so my brother-in-law went to refill it and it pretty much exploded. A big gas ball came out on my chest and face. I remember my husband saying drop to the ground. It didn't dawn on me what was happening. My brother-in-law and husband tackled me to the ground and lay over the top of me. My brother-in-law got burned on his hands and stomach putting me out. But they did get me out. My husband said I was on fire for a good 15 seconds."
She would stay in the Burn Center in the Twin Cities for 2 weeks
Julie says, "I ended up needing 7 grafts across my body; two on my right hand, one on my left and the rest across my chest."
Julie decided to shave her head and use the skin from her scalp for grafts because it shows less scaring, heals faster with less pain. The process of rehab with OT Stephan Kulzer at the Avera McGreevy Clinic on southeastern has been anything but pain free or fast going.
Julie says, "Therapy will help me with my upper arm strength. Two of my grafts are located in my inner arms so for two weeks I had to keep my arms down by my side. I wasn't able to lift anything so I lost a lot of upper arm strength. Stephan is also helping me get back motion in my wrist and thumb that have grafts."
Sioux Falls Fire Marshal Division Chief Dean Lanier with Sioux Falls Fire Rescue says fire pots can be dangerous when they are refilled with that gel fuel while they're still hot.
Lanier says, "What people need to understand about the dynamic of fire is what burns is vapor. You can't see vapor. And depending on the direction of the wind, you never know where it's going to blow which makes it hard to estimate what will happen. The moment that vapor finds a heat source is going to combust almost instantaneously. "
Not only do you need to read the instructions of the fire pot, you need to have a fire extinguisher nearby when burning one. The extinguisher has to be specifically for liquid flammables.
Julie and her family had no idea how dangerous something as cool looking as this could be. She will never be around one again.
Julie says, "No no. I'm really trying to get the word out there if you have one get rid of it. If I would have been by myself I wouldn't be here. I was not able to put out the fire myself."
And now she is going to have to deal with what that fire did to her body and her psyche for months, maybe years, to come.
To get an idea of how hot the gel fuel in fire pots burn, Julie says when the fire ball came out of it the pot did not explode. It was in one piece and the fire ball of gel just stuck to her. She really doesn't want anyone to go through what she is going through.
In June the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning about fire pots after several people suffered serious injuries from them.

A new White House sanctioned group is setting out to turn
Texas blue. The group is called Battleground Texas and it's made up of former
Obama Campaign aides.
Their goal is to use what they learned during the president's
campaigns to turn Texas into a battleground state that's more competitive for Democrats.
Battleground Texas says they are ready to get Lone Star
Democrats fired up.
"For years on the Obama campaign, the Texas volunteers have
been saying Texas can be a battleground state and now we're here to do that,"
says Jenn Brown, executive director of Battleground Texas.
Local Democrats
welcome the movement but say the group isn't here to save them.
"It's not like in the old Western movies where the 7th
cavalry is riding in to rescue us. The work has got to be done by Democrats who
are here and are in place," says David Henderson, Smith County Democratic Party
Henderson says the party's work starts with getting people
to vote, "Democrats in the state of Texas are not outnumbered
60 to 40, we're simply out voted 60 to 40. A lot of the base of the Democratic Party
are people who are working people, who are poorly educated, who we've got to
get a message to to get out and vote."
Battleground Texas plans to do that through a grassroots
approach, including person to person contact with voters.
method JoAnn Fleming, executive director
of Grassroots America, says Republicans should pay attention to, "I think they do a better job on working on things to turn out the vote
sometimes than Republicans do and so I think Republicans as a whole have to get
back to the basics."
Still, she thinks the
group will have problems, "Texans are
very independent minded and do not like for somebody to come in here and tell
them how to run their business."
Battleground Texas says people are asking for this movement.
"The reason why we're doing this now is because
Texans have been wanting it," Brown says.
The group says they will start reaching out to
communities all over the state in March.
Texas has not voted for a Democrat on the
presidential ballot since 1976.

Custom message if tag returns empty results
Hello everyone, using wordpress.
Is it possible to return a custom message if the tag search returns empty?
On my menu i have a link as: www.domain.com/tag/example
I don't want to remove the link but also it's a bit annoying if the user presses on this and he sees a blank page. At least a message "sorry there no results for this tag" would do!

At the core
Regarding the Aug. 26 article "Mayor pledges 'solution' after police stop some charities feeding Raleigh homeless": For years, governments have been cutting services to the poor, stating that churches and volunteer organizations can and should fill in the gap. Now trying to do just that – feeding the homeless and food-insecure – is punishable by arrest in Raleigh.
Mayor Nancy McFarlane claims that "city leaders had not been involved in the decision to end the weekend food distribution," but the police are taking their direction from somewhere.
In the past, our group (active for 21 years) negotiated an amiable and workable arrangement with the city and police in Raleigh: We distribute food on the sidewalk (not in the park) and leave the site cleaner than we found it. So what has changed? The problem is not the hungry in Raleigh nor is it the volunteers. The problem is hunger.
The solution is not "to end the weekend food distribution" or to hide it. The solution is to address the root causes of hunger: unemployment, long-term disabilities, mental illness, inadequate housing. Many have worked for decades toward those solutions, and we invite the City of Raleigh and the Raleigh police to join us.

So, all I did was go to the ports, which were Labadee, Haiti, Jamaica, The Caymans, and Cozumel. Haiti was very lovely and is leased by the cruise line. I went on the adult sandbar get away, and even though there were all couples, I made pleasant conversation and enjoyed my rum punch and soak in the ocean. Jamaica gets worse every time I go there. Ladies do not leave the port area by yourself! There are plenty of things to see and do at the port mall unless you are leaving to go on an excursion. it's also the best place to make your alcohol purchases!
The Caymans are ok, but be warned that the exchange rate is .80 cents u.s. to the Cayman 1.25 dollar! I walked about, had local lunch and I purchased fragrance there.
MY favorite place was Cozulmel, Take any excursion that involves a beach break, the people were wonderful and the food and the beaches were beyond beautiful. I purchased refin a there without prescription. However, if you are on medication, do your homework as you can get them there! attend one of the port shopping education seminars as they are very informative! However, realize that many "back room" alliances have been formed to separate you from your money! Be savvy
NOW while the cruise is recommended.... I did not go to many shows as the caliber of entertainment was lower than I expected. The Spa Is amazing, just don't succumb to the hard sale on anything in the ship. You can come away with stress you did not bargain for. Practice saying no! The food in the main dining room was very disappointing as I am a bit of a foodie and have very high expectations. I found it impossible to eat at 8 pm as I was generally tired from the sun, walking and the water, so Frankly, the Windjammer was fine with me ant the food better. Maybe, it's a bit much to coordinate feeding 4000 people. But I didn't gain weight! The walking track and fitness facilities were great as we're the 7 am stretch and ab classes. I also had some great cocktails, the mojito with fresh mint and muddled, was my favorite. Johnny Rocket was very good as well and was my indulgence meal of boca burger, fries, onion rings and root beer float!
I went on a cruise to be refreshed, and renewed, not to pig out and get drunk. My stateroom attendant was amazing, the overall service on the ship was amazing. I never felt unsafe. If you can get the luggage valet, get it, you won't have to touch your luggage again until your home airport. If you have laundry, let them wash it and take it home clean. Get the bottled water service as they are pretty large and you will drink it. I also loved that after being gently rocked to sleep at 11:00, I did not wake up until 6:00 in the morning refreshed and ready to enjoy the day! Prior to the cruise I suffered from stress induced broken sleep.
I have to laugh because at the end of the cruise folks were looking stressed out during the check out process having gotten sick of looking at each other and thier children...I think they were ready for some much needed "me time". Next time I will get a room with a balcony! RCI made sure there was Purell everywhere, and you are steered towards using it, and I suggest you do ...in addition to washing your hands frequently!

Forest plan is close to getting the green light (From Worcester News)

Forest plan is close to getting the green light
2:00pm Saturday 19th January 2013 in News
PLANS to create a forest covering 300 acres in the heart of the Vale of Evesham are weeks away from getting the go-ahead.
The new forest would be planted at Baylis Hill and Bushy Hill, between the Vale of Evesham villages of Honeybourne and Pebworth, through the charity, the Heart of England Forest Project.
But the plans, which are being assessed by the Forestry Commission, have not been met with open arms by local residents and two parish councils.
Margaret Oliver, of Baylis Hill, said although the forest would not impact on her property or the view from it she does not want to see the loss of so much farm land.
"It seems a profligate use of scarce agricultural land to render it useless to food production at this time of impending food insecurity," said the retired soil scientist. "The proposed change in land use of such a large block of land will have a profound effect on the local environment of these two villages."
The plans do not need planning permission and the charity was not required to formally consult with Wychavon District Council.
But Honeybourne Parish Council is against the plans, while Pebworth Parish Council said they had no objection to the plans in principle but raised a number of concerns including the loss of open countryside views.
In a letter to the Forestry Commission, Honeybourne Parish Council said: "The parish council have many concerns over the proposal which includes, the scale of change in the rural landscape between Honeybourne and Pebworth, the loss of countryside views, the changes in the local ecology and wildlife habitat and the loss of high grade farm land."
A further presentation on the proposals has also been requested by Pebworth Parish Council after complaints from residents about the short notice given for the previous meeting.
If successful the semi natural woodland area would be planted with the primary species of tree being ash and oak. Throughout the forest there would be open ground consisting of a network of rides and paths for people to use on foot, bike or horseback.
The land is owned by British poet and entrepreneur Felix Dennis, who is also the founder and a trustee of the charity, which has so far planted about 1,900 acres of woodland.
David Bliss, a trustee of the charity, said: "We are looking to increase the amount of woodland for everybody. We know the benefit of trees and we are hoping we don't offend people. We take people's views on board and landscape views.
"The land is grade three arable land, which we are having a problem cropping. The charity is not for profit, we use grants to plant the woodland and they do not cover the cost.
"Hopefully we end up planting a wood that people love."
The decision by the Forestry Commission on the future of the plans is expected within the next few weeks.

We need a diverse range of green space, where wildlife can thrive. Not all unbuilt land can be used for agriculture.
And I'd sooner see forests, farmland and allotments than tens of thousands of houses, imposed on the county to provide profits for builders, jobs for the boys at County Halls, and Lebensraum for immigrants and incomers, as envisaged by the SWDP.

Tennessee could soon change the law when it comes to the meningitis vaccine. Right now, the state does not require college students to receive it, but that could soon change.
Individual schools are allowed to set their own rules, and at least one lawmaker doesn't think that does enough to protect students living in close quarters from a disease that could easily prove deadly.
In September, Middle Tennessee State University freshman Jacob Nunley died from bacterial meningitis.
Nunley lived in a fraternity house on the Murfreesboro campus, so his death prompted worries over who else might contract the disease.
"Everybody who comes to the university who's going to be in a large group, like dorms, it's good to get the meningitis vaccine," said Dr. Eric Clark, with MTSU Health Services.
Currently, state law does not require students to receive a meningitis vaccine, but a bill from State Sen. Lowe Finney may change that.
"Among the various state colleges, there are differing policies on immunization requirements," Finney said. "And what we should seek to do is have some uniformity in what the requirements would be on these types of immunizations."
Finney's bill would require students at public colleges and universities to prove they received a meningitis vaccine before enrolling. Exceptions include a doctor's note or religious beliefs.
At private colleges or universities, students who live on-campus would continue to sign waivers, acknowledging they received information on meningitis provided by the school.
"When I was in college several years ago, my best friend had meningitis and luckily caught it early enough and it was treated," Finney said. "It's hopefully a first step in protecting these college students."
Students would also need to tell their school if they received the vaccine or not, an idea that makes sense for at least one college student.
"On campus, you come in contact - especially living in dorms - really easy. I've been sick, like six times already," said Mackenzie Gardner, a student at Austin Peay State University. "We're all in really close contact with each other. We all live in the same dorm. We share facilities, so I think it's a good idea to get it."
Finney just introduced the bill this week, so it will take some time to see if it'll stick and become law.
The Tennessee Department of Health declined to comment on whether it thinks it could be a good idea.
