Authorities say a loosely organized network of thieves are behind two pricey jewel heists in South Florida.
In two separate heists over the past three weeks, about half a million dollars worth of gems have been stolen from jewelers traveling around South Florida.
Officials say the number of thefts could rise soon because the Jewelers International Showcase - the largest wholesale show in Florida - begins on South Beach Thursday.
Gem theft experts say that although the robberies may appear to be random holdups, most are actually part of a semi-organized crime network known as South American Theft Groups.
Law enforcement agents from around the country wull meet with jewelry heist experts in a closed-door workshop in Miami on Tuesday to discuss how to deal with the crimes.

The Brockie Donovan 18th Annual Tree of Memories Community Candlelight Memorial Service is a special evening that allows members of our community to join together in remembering our loved ones who are no longer with us to celebrate the holidays. Each year, members of our community are invited to place an ornament, bearing the name of their loved one, upon the Brockie Donovan Tree of Memories just prior to the service. This symbolic gesture allows each of us the opportunity to take a moment during busy holiday celebrations to truly reflect and appreciate all that our loved ones have brought to our lives. The staff and volunteers at Brockie Donovan are responsible for preparing and handing out ornaments at the church. The 2015 Tree of Memories will be held on Thursday, December 3rd, 2015 at 7:00 pm. Please call us at (204) 727-0694 or (204) 729-7074 to reserve your personalized ornament. DATE: Thursday, December 3rd, 2015 TIME: 7:00 pm LOCATION: Central United Church 327-8th Street Read more

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (NNS) -- Nearly 1,000 family members, active and retired submariners, shipyard workers, and members of the community came together to pay tribute to the 129 men who perished aboard USS Thresher (SSN 593) during the 50th Anniversary commemoration at Portsmouth High School's Auditorium.
The distinguished visitors in attendance included Sens. Kelly Ayotte; Jeanne Shaheen; Rep. Carol Shea-Porter; Keynote Speaker Vice Adm. Michael J. Connor, commander, Submarine Forces; Capt. L. Bryant Fuller III, commander, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Dr. Thomas E. Hassan, New Hampshire first gentlemen, Al Singleman Jr., national junior vice commander, United States Submarine Veterans and Gary Hildreth, master of ceremonies, former commander, USSVI Thresher Base.
During the ceremony Hildreth read letters to the attendees written by the Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus and Vice Adm. Kevin M. McCoy, Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command.
In his letter Secretary Mabus wrote, "On behalf of the Department of Navy and a grateful nation, I join you on the 50th anniversary of its loss in remembrance in honoring USS Thresher (SSN 593) and her crew. Thresher was the lead boat of her class of nuclear-powered attack submarine of the United States Navy. On April 10, 1963, while on a deep test dive about 200 miles off the Northeast coast of the United States, USS Thresher was lost and all hands perished aboard her at sea. The loss of the lead ship of a new fast, quiet, deep-diving class of submarines led the Navy to reevaluate the methods used to build its submarines. The Submarine Safety Program (SUBSAFE) was created as the direct result and has no doubt saved countless lives and enabled our modern submarine fleet to remain the best in the world."
Connor referred to the men of Thresher as pioneers and thanked them and their families for their sacrifices and service to our nation.
"We are here today to honor 129 pioneers that were lost at sea sailing from this city," said Connor. "Thresher didn't just change submarine safety, it changed the world."
Fuller spoke to the attendees who gathered to pay tribute to those lost aboard Thresher, reflecting on the need to ensure such a tragedy never happens again.
"Thresher was, and still is, our boat," said Fuller. "Thresher will always be a part of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and not a day passes that we don't remember the lessons we learned and reflect on our great responsibility."
In 1963, USS Thresher, the first of her class, was a state-of-the-art submarine with the most modern technology of the day, allowing her to be fast, quiet and deep diving. At the time of Thresher's loss, she had been in service for only 36 months and had not even conducted a full-length deployment. Instead, she operated in the Atlantic Ocean, testing her systems while also taking part in two anti-submarine exercises prior to entering Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for a scheduled maintenance period.
On April 10, 1963, USS Thresher sank off the coast of Massachusetts during a deep-diving test, making it the first nuclear-powered submarine lost at sea and the largest loss of life in the submarine force's history. This tragic loss led directly to the establishment of the SUBSAFE program, which is known worldwide as a model for safety and quality assurance. The SUBSAFE program works to ensure that submarines do not experience flooding events and, if they do, they have the ability to surface. The program does this by enforcing a set of stringent quality processes and material control requirements beginning in the design phase and enforced throughout the submarine's entire service life.
Vicki Billings, daughter of Lt. Cmdr. John H. Billings, USS Thresher spoke at the memorial, in addition to her brother, Dr. Blake Billings, who composed and performed a piece he wrote titled "In Memory of You."
In addition to Billings, Chief Engineman Tilmon Joseph Arsenault's daughter, Lori Arsenault, who serves as the director of operations/concert manager for the University of Southern Maine's School of Music attended the memorial alongside her sister Debra Henderson. Both daughters performed the national anthem in memory of their father and the lives of those lost aboard Thresher 50 years ago.
Arsenault said that various members of their family have attended the Thresher memorials since the loss of the submarine in 1963.
"The thing that makes the Thresher families' losses different than the loss of other loved ones is that it was a national tragedy, shared, and therefore larger than any single family," said Arsenault. "Many of us feel that we have a responsibility to that larger community to keep remembering Thresher's legacy for the benefit of generations to come."
Arsenault said that her mother passed away last summer, but takes comfort in knowing that she is now with her father.
"They are together now," said Arsenault. "My family has lost one parent at a young age, and another one in the later years. My mother was 86 at the time of her death, and there is no easy way to lose anyone."
Arsenault expressed appreciation for what came out of the loss of Thresher.
"We are so appreciative that something good came of this, with the creation of the SUBSAFE that the Navy has taught us about all of these years later," said Arsenault. "USS Thresher changed history."
When Thresher sank, 112 Sailors, and 17 civilians, 13 of them who worked at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, died. Three of the Navy officers lost were stationed at the shipyard and several of the Navy crewmen were residents of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts and all left behind grieving families, friends, neighbors and colleagues.
Arsenault reflected on meeting present-day submariners and the lessons they shared with her.
"When I go to the memorial services and speak to people who served on Thresher, other subvets, and those who are serving or who are working on subs now, they explain the significance of the SUBSAFE," said Arsenault. "They stop in their tracks when they hear that I'm a relative of a Thresher Sailor. They make it a point to assure me that they remember everyday what the cost is."
Sailors such as Seaman Trevor A. Heehs, USS Thresher Class 13200, Basic Enlisted Submarine School is reminded the cost daily while undergoing training at Naval Submarine School, Naval Submarine Base New London. Heehs will take the lessons he has learned from his Thresher Class when he graduates on April 19, just nine days after the historic anniversary of the loss of Thresher.
"I feel pretty honored to take part in today's memorial; the Thresher sinking was the worst submarine tragedy the Navy has ever seen especially in the modern nuclear Navy," said Heehs. "I never thought I would have an opportunity to attend the memorial in Portsmouth and for me it is a real big honor and I take a lot of pride in attending."
The Town of Kittery, Maine, birthplace and final homeport of USS Thresher, will dedicate a 129-foot flagpole in Memorial Circle on April 7, 2013. The flagpole height will serve as a permanent reminder of the 129 men who died that morning, ensuring they will forever be honored in and around the town where Thresher was built and homeported.
The state of Maine issued a proclamation to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the loss of the submarine.
"The state of Maine and its citizens, and the entire United States of America and its citizens, are greatly indebted to the sacrifice of these brave pioneers," said Maine Gov. Paul R. LePage in his proclamation. "We commemorate the 50th anniversary of this terrible tragedy and honor the 129 Cold War casualties lost that day, men of genius and adventure who represented the finest qualities of our Nation."
Thresher changed the face of the submarine service and serves as a poignant reminder that ignorance, arrogance, and complacency can, and have resulted in tragedy. The SUBSAFE Program is dedicated to the memory of those lost 50 years ago and works every day to keep such an event from happening again.

I have belatedly realized that American democracy relies on complaints. If you have no complaint, then everything's presumably OK. That's why natural whiners get attention and satisfied people get ignored. And that's why it is important that those who notice lodge complaints on behalf of those who don't have enough sense to know who's turning the screw.
Most of this stuff was written and published long ago and can now be digitized with a scanner. That is, text and pictures are rendered as image files. Click the subsidiary historical pages under the parent heading for the annualized record.
In 1992, we discovered the Georgia coast and in 1993 I moved there. That pretty much spelled finis to my civic involvement. Restoration of two old cottages built during World War II was fairly hassle-free. We built ponds as part of naturalistic land-scaping. With a pond, there's no need to water the grass.
1992 was, of course, an election year. The closest Clinton/Gore got to north Florida was Valdosta, Georgia. I recorded their appearance on video.
Other videos can be found here, at cyprespond.
ADDENDUM — A couple of things that don't fit anywhere else.
Here's my first scan– an essay on reciprocity I happened across, from about early 1990. The original may well be in Notes from the Household, which I haven't reread in ages.
1975-6 was spent in San Diego, where much of the naval fleet was in "mothballs," but one weekend they had an open house and invited citizens to tour some ships. I was not impressed and wrote what I suppose should be called a complaint at a time when letters from ordinary citizens were perhaps somewhat of a novelty. The Freedom of Information Act had been in effect about a decade. Perhaps I was emboldened by the success of phone calls to the Pentagon in conjunction with the Onassis refinery project in 1974.
It's not likely the letter, of which I did not keep a copy, merited the three page response from an Assistant Secretary of the Navy. However, more than thirty-five years later, Joseph T. McCullen, Jr. still points with pride to his seven+ years as a bureaucrat, who went on to shine as a venture capitalist. He must have had his own reasons.
I have, since finding this letter, discovered that Joe McCullen is still active, supposedly raising capital and managing his family foundation in Boston.
McCullen Capital ("MCAP") is a family office whose mission is to invest and … support to the family's charitable foundation, the Flame of Love Foundation.
which has an office at One Liberty Square, but almost no assets. There's actually a law suit wending its way to the SCOTUS, McCullen v. Coakley, in which Joe's wife, Eleanor McCullen is the chief plaintiff on behalf of women's health clinic opponents, who can't tell the difference between speech and getting in someone's way.
Grandstanding manifests in peculiar ways. Joe McCullen, for example, refers to himself as a PhD because Villanove University gave him an honorary degree in exchange for a million dollar donation.

New fire chief keeps training innovative
When he got the call, Greg LeRow knew he was in for a long night.
He was dispatched May 9 to a backyard fire in the 2200 block of Church Street.
As he bunkered up with the other volunteers in the Eudora City Fire Department, he put on the white helmet.
It meant he was in charge. He had to coordinate the firefighters in waves to make sure they were safe and rested. He was responsible for finding enough water to keep the fire attack tight.
When he arrived, he found a note: "You've just located the home owner's pet monkey. Please treat it as any victim found in a fire."
He sent firefighters to find the monkey. After emergency aid, including chest compressions, the crew saved the stuffed animal.
"It's stressful, but it's fun," LeRow said.
Eudora City Fire Chief Randy Ates wrote the note and designed the training exercise.
He also chose LeRow as the incident commander.
"It was kind of sprung on him," Ates said.
The fire was imaginary ---- the volunteers practiced in a field just north of Eudora High School ---- but the lesson reflected a truth in firefighting, Ates said.
"Everybody is stuck in the roles they're used too," Ates said.
With a volunteer fire department, a time may come when certain expertise just isn't available, Ates said. They have to be prepared to take over any necessary role during a real fire, he said.
The firefighters treated the field as if it were a real house fire. The monkey wasn't the only contrived complication.
As they sprayed water and cased the scene, LeRow received word of an injured officer.
Later, the firefighters had to overcome a limited water supply, Ates said.
The department also faced a real complication in the form of a stuck pump valve, Ates said.
The firefighters discovered it after using the water cannon on top of the engine, Ates said.
Deputy Chief Mike Underwood served as dispatch during the incident.
"This is a good teaching tool," Underwood said.
The imaginary house fire is just one of unconventional training tools Ates designed for the department.
In March, he had his firefighters play a game of soccer while wearing 12-pound air packs.
Last month, the officers spread throughout Eudora on a scavenger hunt.
"It's good to keep us fresh on our skills," volunteer firefighter Damon Bradley said. "He comes up with a lot of creative ideas."
After the firefighters finished the imaginary incident, Ates called the training a success.
"Each member should be comfortable with all the duties on the fire scene, including stepping into a chief officer's shoes," Ates said in a written brief afterward.
LeRow also felt positive about the experience, he said.
"I just learn how to deal with command and how to improve my firefighting abilities," LeRow said.
After watching the firefighters pack up, Ates' mind was already on the future.
"We need to find an old house somewhere where we can practice this for real," he said.

Earlier this year Phil Goff and I accepted a petition signed by almost 6,000 Kiwis concerned about the government's cuts to compensation to those suffering from work-related hearing loss. Thanks to National, people with hearing impairment are the only group of New Zealanders required by law to demonstrate a particular percentage of disability before rehabilitation will be offered under the ACC scheme.
At yesterday's Transport and Industrial Relations Select Committee meeting National members voted en-bloc to report back the petition of Louse Carroll and 5857 others to the House without hearing a single piece of evidence. That's undemocratic and a slap in the face to all those who sought to have their concerns heard by their House of Representatives.
Having actively discriminated against those with hearing loss, the National government is now turning a deaf ear to their concerns. They aren't even willing to allow them to come to Parliament and have their say. That's frankly disgraceful. If almost 6,000 people were willing to take the time to sign a petition to Parliament, the least their elected representatives can do is allow them the courtesy of a hearing.

the native weather info in RR comes from specific XML data from weather.com using their SDK, it doesn't really go through web pages looking for what it needs. If you wish for it to work on the background, you just have to call "RELOADWEATHER" for instance while idle in the audio player.. that way when you open the weather screen it will be already loaded up. There are several ways of doing this automatically too.
On the gas prices though, you may be right.. I didn't do that part of the code, so I'm not sure what could be done to speed it up for you, specially when the information you need on that is most likely LINKED to where you are, meaning if you get it cached, the info you got earlier won't be of any use 30 minutes away from where you got it.

Lisa Thompson said her goal with Cups in Brandon was to create the kind of small business where people treated each other like family, something she remembered from shops growing up in a small town in central New York.
- Filed Under
I had just moved to Brandon from South Florida about a year before we bought Cups. I wasn't sure what I was going to do when I moved here, but I started coming to Cups as a customer and got to know some of the people here. The assistant manager at the time, Heather Miller, eventually asked if I wanted to work there. I said, "Sure. I could stand to get out of the house for a while."
After about a year, Heather and I started talking about opening our own place. We were looking around at other locations, but our customers kept telling us not to leave. About the same time, the previous owners decided they wanted to ...

Lawmakers: Ban aid use in boycotts
ALBANY - Nearly 50 New York legislators are sponsoring revised legislation to prohibit universities from using state aid to fund or join the American Studies Association because of the group's decision to boycott Israeli universities.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, sponsor of the legislation, said in a memo that "academic boycotts, particularly those that are discriminatory, violate the principles of academic freedom."
The legislation doesn't name the 5,000-member association, whose members endorsed an academic boycott of Israeli universities, saying they are complicit in Israel's discrimination against Palestinian students and scholars.
A previous bill would have cut off state aid to schools participating in the association.
Critics say the legislation threatens academic free speech.
Cuomo repeats call for Medicaid boost
ALBANY - Gov. Andrew Cuomo says New York needs a Medicaid funding infusion first requested in 2012 to support hospital overhauls and expanded primary medical care to meet growing patient demand under the state's new health insurance exchange.
The exchange has enrolled more than 412,000 New Yorkers for health insurance coverage since October.
Meanwhile, state officials are pursuing a waiver to use up to $2 billion annually from Medicaid over five years to help struggling hospitals cut beds and admissions in a shift to more primary and outpatient medical care.
Police: Parents left kids alone for 6 days
CENTRAL ISLIP - A Long Island couple has been arrested after police say they left their two teenagers and two younger children alone without food or heat for six days.
Tulio and Maria Ayala of Central Islip are each charged with four counts of child endangerment. Their attorneys' names were not immediately available.
Police say their four children were left unsupervised while the couple stayed at a nearby hotel.
The children's ages are 15, 13, 8 and 4.
The school district contacted authorities. The couple was arrested on Wednesday.
Police officer helps mom save infant
NEW YORK - A New York woman whose infant son stopped breathing was able to revive him thanks to a police officer's calm instructions on the phone.
Suffern Officer Tim Dunn says the woman was scared and nervous when she called 911 Monday afternoon.
The Journal News says Dunn reassured her and instructed her to check the baby's chest. He told her to turn him on his side and try clearing his airway with her finger or a tissue.
Within minutes, he says the baby gurgled and then began to cry.
Dunn says he was beyond relieved.
