3 Kids, My Castle and how many cupcakes?
Date of trip 09 August to 01 September 2009
Cast -Me (Teresa) supposedly in charge and celebrating my 40th 3 months early
-Robyn (DD) 15 second in charge and the sensible one. Always the voice of reason and usually right!
-Jack (DS) 13 the funny one! Lover of Stitch and the most upset one when its time to come home.
Background Although this is my 5th trip (92,01,03,07,09) and the kids 4th trip (01,03,07,09) it is only the second trip we have had as a family of 3. When the kids Dad left us in 2004 I promised that we would return. I kept my promise and thanks to an endowment payout we spent a fantastic 17 nights in August 2007 (trip report in signature).
Most of the details in the run up to this trip are in my Pre Trip Report so I wont go into too much detail. Itll be interesting to read back through it to see how much the itinerary changed throughout the planning stage and exactly what we ended up doing! I can tell you now we didnt stick to the plan which will come as a great shock to those that know me!
I was really hoping to get straight on with this report as soon as we returned but DSs laptop crashed on the day we returned and we seem to have a virus someone in our system which has also messed up my desktop. Anyway as Im currently off work with suspected Swine Flu I thought Id use the time on the sofa to make a start and with DD being at school I can use her laptop. Ill try not to cough and sneeze over you while Im typing and I cant promise how quick I will get it done, how much sense it will make or how funny it will be but Ill give it a go. Am going to add in costings for meals and spends this time too so hope it doesnt get boring!
So sit back and relax and join me on the 3 kids, a Castle and how many cupcakes tour 2009...

On the last Conference Call Rose talked like he had a sweet secret that he wanted to share but could not, he talked about denge, about downsizing, even the analyst believed something big was about to happen.
Forget about St246 and PIP-If Siga has a partner and the Analyst believe that they do, and most likely Pfister, this stock could skyrocket with the small number of shares outstanding and the large number of shorts that would have to cover.
This is an article that G Hudson with Seeking Alfa wrote on Nov 12 2013, I know he is a pumper for Siga but everything is this article is accurate. I
When I started this tread I said forget ST246 and the PIP lawsuit, guess I should have added forget the hate Rose also. This is an excerpt from the last conference call between Rose and and analyst Joaquin Philip Horton
Okay. So next question is regarding dengue fever. I assume I heard right that you were going to try to find a partner to continue developing the small molecule that you have for dengue fever, correct?
Eric A. Rose - Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Member of National Biodefense Science Board
That's correct. The entire program, not just the lead drug candidate, yes
You REALLY think these rookie morons have a "secret deal" lined up?? What are they doing, meeting in the treehouse...takes a special handshake to get in?? It has been THREE months since that article. I would be shocked....these guys are the most rookie of management I've ever seen.

Bachmann-Hannity 'revolution' breaks the law
On Wednesday, Michele Bachmann, the Republican congresswoman from east-central Minnesota, called for an "orderly" revolution in America on Sean Hannity's widely syndicated radio program.
While I confess that I have no idea what an "orderly" revolution looks like (maybe something akin to a bloodless coup) and no concept of what Rep. Bachmann and Mr. Hannity have in mind for our new and improved government, I do think it is reasonably possible that both committed a felony.
5USC Sec. 7313 reads, in part:
Sec. 7313. Riots and civil disorders
(a) An individual convicted by any Federal, State, or local court of competent jurisdiction of –
(1) inciting a riot or civil disorder;
(2) organizing, promoting, encouraging, or participating in a riot or civil disorder;
(3) aiding or abetting any person in committing any offense specified in clause (1) or (2);
shall, if the offense for which he is convicted is a felony, be ineligible to accept or hold any position in the Government of the United States or in the government of the District of Columbia for the five years immediately following the date upon which his conviction becomes final. Any such individual holding a position in the Government of the United States or the government of the District of Columbia on the date his conviction becomes final shall be removed from such position.
(b) For the purposes of this section, "felony" means any offense for which imprisonment is authorized for a term exceeding one year.
Thus, if Ms. Bachmann and Mr. Hannity were found to have promoted and encouraged civil disorder, they would not only be guilty of a felony, but Ms. Bachmann would be barred from public office for a period of five years.
So far, there has been no movement towards indicting one or both of these potential offenders. I suppose the Attorney General is reluctant to make Hannity an even larger conservative hero just as he might consider it bad politics to charge a member of the House. But it must be asked, are Hannity and Bachmann too big to fall?
Had a Muslim Cleric appeared on a nationally syndicated radio program and said the very same thing, would it be so quickly dismissed? Why is it fine for this sort of thing to come out of the mouth of a member of Congress, even if she is of questionable mental stability, when the same thing would be taken very seriously when spoken by another?
And what about the radio stations who aired this remarkable conversation?
The radio airwaves, which belong to the people and are regulated by the FCC, may not be used to utter obscene or indecent language. So, while the owners of these stations can lose their license for too many bad words being uttered over the air, are we to believe that they are permitted to promote revolution against the American government without their putting their licenses in jeopardy?
I, for one, intend to find out.
The overwhelming majority of radio stations who ran this broadcast had the opportunity to review, prior to airing, Bachmann's statements and Hannity's participatory agreement. Yet, I have not heard of one station whom elected not to broadcast the show, despite the extraordinary comments contained in the program.
I strongly suspect that this would not be protected by the First Amendment any more than yelling fire in a crowded theater is protected.
If there are any lawyers out there who care to join me in challenging the licenses of the offending broadcasters along with the syndication company who distributes Hannity's program, let me know.
I really don't think that this sort of thing should just get a pass.

| Querulous Qwilfish/VS. Qwilfish
| Info
| Other
| Rounds
Querulous Qwilfish or VS. Qwilfish (Japanese: VS ハリーセン VS. Harysen) is the 122nd round of the Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter in the Pokémon Adventures manga.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
The chapter begins with Crystal walking into Olivine City, with the news broadcast about the events of the Burned Tower playing. Once she enters Olivine, she sees the construction site of the Battle Tower and talks to one of the workers about when it will be finished. Then, suddenly, a waste collection pipe starts to break under pressure, and the tower itself starts to collapse. Crystal saves some of the workers, but the sewage flows into the sea, enraging some nearby Qwilfish. The Qwilfish take in a bunch of water and start using Pin Missile. Crystal thinks about cleaning up the mess to calm the Pokémon down but instead decides to capture them, sending out all her Pokémon. Her Pokémon fight the Qwilfish, and Crystal kicks Poké Balls to capture them in. The workers say that they will clean up the mess soon; however, a baby Qwilfish starts to die because of the toxic waste. As Crystal starts to take it to a Pokémon Center, Suicune suddenly appears in front of her and cures the baby Qwilfish, cleaning the sea in the process. Soon, Crystal gets a call from Professor Oak, telling her that he's counting on her to get some data on the three legendary beasts. Crystal responds, telling him what she just saw, and starts hunting down Suicune.
Major events
- Crystal encounters Suicune at the Battle Tower.
|Spoilers end here.
Pokémon debuts
- This is the first round drawn by Satoshi Yamamoto.

Mars Explorer offers a fresh approach to fun: command high performance vehicles, "out for a spin" over extraterrestrial terrain - unrestricted by any guidelines that dictate how you amuse yourself. The mobile counterpart to an award winning game for desktop computers, Mars Explorer has been open-sourced by Aubrey (the original developer) and is now 100% free.
Learn more about the game (and try the multiplayer-enabled desktop version):
• This game is like the game on the mac, and that game was awesome!!! ~ Zoo Pal
• Mars Explorer offers some of the most versitile gameplay. Try to find a game with a greater value - I dare you. ~ That Snazzy iPhone Guy
• It is fun for messing around. Please add multiplayer when Unity 3d supports it. Aubrey you rock. This is one of the best games! ~ Eric Lujan
• i have the browser version of this game, and the iphone version is a PERFECT companion to it! ~ MarsFanJet

What's New in Version 1.4
Incredibly cool new logo and orbit particle effects
Unified blue color scheme throughout the game's interface
Integrated iPod music system, allowing you to control and enjoy all the music on your device while cruising on Mars
Comprehensive buggy handling improvements:
> Brakes no longer autolevel in flight, but instead lock out accelerometer input to facilitate precision aiming
> Stall recovery has been greatly improved, allowing you to take off and recover from a variety of attitudes and speeds
> Low speed steering is significantly less sensitive, making controls a bit easier
> No longer automatically seeks horizon while in normal flight, instead responds precisely to your tilt controls
> Can now perform powered loops in flight, allowing you to glide forever without needing to land and build up speed!
> Now handles better in lava, and can exit lava a bit easier
Hovercraft now gracefully reflects off the terrain at any speed, instead of punching through it upon occasion
Mars Explorer now incorporates a fully anonymized analytics system
Glasses-Free GRilli3D library implemented, but not currently available due to licensing restrictions. I hope to have this incredibly cool technology available in the next release!
Battery life improved by capping the framerate at 30 fps instead of 60fps, and optimizing the rendering loop
After you launch Mars Explorer 15 times, it now provides you with a friendly reminder that you can submit a new review with each update
Input is now tracked even when you are applying brakes - allowing finer maneuvering in the buggy and stationary attitude adjustments in the hovercraft. The hovercraft can now spin while you are stopped!
Camera now detects when vehicle is stationary, and enters a new mode that keeps behind the vehicle and lets you see where it will be pointed when you release the brakes
Camera also now detects when vehicle is flying, and follows directly behind vehicle instead of a bit above it to give you a better intuitive sense of where your craft is headed
Fixed occasional crash on mission restart
Custom iPad loading screen
No more dead zone in x tilt axis, which allows for much more natural flight
Fine tuned low pass filter for accelerometer data, resulting in smoother controls
Ride camera no longer clips inside of hovercraft
Camera now orbits vehicle when settings screen is open, and tracks inertial swipe motion to determine spin rate - it looks really cool!
Materialization clouds now look far more amazing
Crosshair no longer shown in background of settings screen
Updated introduction with note on how to set cam distance
Optimized mesh compression for faster load times
Skybox walls now properly compressed to save on VRAM
"Restart Mission As {Vehicle}" button simplified to "Rerun Mission"
Customer Reviews
Good app, but...
It is a good app, but I have a few requests. You should really add more maps, like unity island and Scottish highlands, as in the Mac version. Also you should add more vehicles, like the tank, and jet, and multiplayer online or Bluetooth, that would be great! You could also add a world builder, that would be cool. Once these and other great improvements are made, ( Such as objects to shoot, more world settings, coloring option for vehicles, etc.), I will most definitely rate five stars, and download it again.
Not what I expected
When I bought this app, I expected it to be similar to the desktop version in features, like multiple maps and multiplayer. This is sadly not the case, as there are only a few maps, and none of the desktop ones like the beautiful Unity Island. Also, it has not received an update for a long time, so it is basically inactive.
good but not the same controls as the computer
Some ipads have keyboards. So it simulates a computer interface/experience. I would like to have the options to have the same controls as the mac. if so 5 stars right away!!!!!

Weekly Ride Schedule
This week's weekly update is totally late – but hey it was a holiday Monday! Tuesday Intervals was a great success with the most people I've ever seen out on a Research Park session (10 I believe?) and it was a great session for learning how to corner at speed and increasing fitness. Fortunately for the wildfires but unfortunate for us, it rained every day after that right up until Monday, forcing a lot of us to stay inside or go for a shower on our bicycles. Please check our website for the weather policy.
Another great week for ERTC, with amazing weather throughout the week! We had strong representation at the Velocity Stage this weekend, along with a staggering 13 ladies from our club and others joining us for our 2nd Annual "Broads on Bikes with Bison" Women's Ride! 8 ladies went the full distance of 100km, with the remainder opting for the 50km route, and the winner of the jersey and shorts that Revolution Cycle donated to us was Erin Slemp, a rider joining us for this ride from another club. As for the races, a more detailed race report will be forthcoming, but I'd like to congratulate Brandon Langille on upgrading to Category 4, as well as Jakob Claffey and Spencer King on upgrading to Category 3.
Good Morning!
Oh god, who let Albert write this week's update?! Another great week for ERTC, which saw soaring temperatures for our midweek rides, the "graduation" of our Learn to Ride participants, and the most people I've ever seen on a Saturday in recent memory on our little jaunt to Devon and back. My personal highlight was the final spring series race. More on that later, with the race report.
Main thing this week is volunteering. Members, new and old, please consider this - it is but a few hours of time and the community/club literally depends on it. This is the best way to jump into the club with both feet, meet each other, and build a vibrant and engaged club. ANY MEMBER CAN AND SHOULD VOLUNTEER. Ok, enough shaming until I get to the volunteer sections below.....

Clearly, everyone falls in love with the "dark Barbie", who wouldn't?? I was expecting a more cotton-y fabric, but this fabric is so warm and soft! I love it.
I bought this one. I had the idea that this was a warm sweater, but is quite thin. Anyway is really pretty and cool, the colors are great.
Awesome shirt. Design exactly as seen in the pictures. The small fit my size 2 body. It was a touch tight around the hips, but still forgiving due to the spandexy give of the fabric. Highly recommend! :)
amazinggg design!! just love this sweatshirt and would love to have it in my wardrobe

Fired nurse says hospice falsified records
The lawsuit directly cited the open access policy, saying that it was created in 2005.
Medicare limits hospice coverage to patients who have six months or less to live and requires a condition reassessment every 15 days and recertification every 60 days.
But Rachac, who worked at San Diego Hospice from 2000 to 2005 and again from 2009 until she was fired, alleged in the lawsuit that the hospice worked to recertify patients even if there was no evidence that they were truly dying.
Management and doctors "made suggestions to staff about what phrases to use to disguise the fact that a patient was not declining or was even improving," the suit said. When nurses declined to alter their descriptions, a hospice official would rewrite the recertification summaries, the suit said.
That practice, according to the lawsuit, led one nurse to say at a meeting, "What is this, creative writing class?" In one example, Rachac said she had a patient who was improving and had gone shopping so she could cook Thanksgiving dinner for her family. When she wrote the patient was gaining weight, a doctor suggested the record should say the weight gain was because the patient was retaining fluid, a condition that indicated she was not improving, the lawsuit said.
In the lawsuit, the nurse estimated that at any one time about 40 percent of the patients at San Diego Hospice were ineligible for services.
The lawsuit quoted a Dec. 8, 2005, memo to the staff instructing that admissions workers will "always keep 'yes' at the forefront while speaking with and/or assessing any patient" referred to the facility.
It also said that the hospice's medical director rewrote the criteria widely used by hospices around the country for determining if patients qualify for care so that virtually all patients would be admitted to the San Diego Hospice.
In addition, the recertification summaries done on patients, which are used to update their health and progress, were manipulated, the suit said.
Rachac said her complaints in 2009 about the admissions and retention policies were ignored. In 2010, she received a disciplinary letter that said in part that her disagreement with "the philosophy of admission criteria" was one of the reasons for her discipline, the suit said.
The suit also took Pacurar to task for a previous comment that the government's audit was a wake-up call for the hospice.
"Pacurar failed to disclose that (Rachac), who had opposed the illegal practices, had been terminated and silenced," the lawsuit stated.

The Saturday Thing
The Saturday Thing is driven by the imagination. ItĀis a place for unstructured learning in a relaxed and supportive environment. ĀIt is an informal community of learners who like to have fun, tinker, and be creative with science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM). We never know exactly what we will be doing, but projects and activities of all kinds are encouraged.
The UAF Saturday Thing is primarily geared toward middle and high school ages, but anyone can participate and bring in project ideas. Older kids and adults can act as volunteers, mentors, role models, and elders. Parents must be present if a child is 12 or younger.Ā
Inspired by Ed Moriarty at the MIT Edgerton Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the UAF Saturday Thing has included a range of projects, such as liquid light, robotics, and stained glass.Ā

Tribute to Steve Davis and Wes Caves
The Sunday plane crash in Indiana took the lives of two great men. Sooner football fans know about Steve Davis and his greatness, but few know about Wes Caves, who owned the plane and also died in the crash. Wes went to OU on a wrestling scholarship and graduated with a business degree. He came from west Tulsa and a wonderful family who was salt of the earth. They didn't have all that much, but they had lots of love.
You may have seen Wes on a network news show. His young daughter had brain cancer and the doctors performed surgery that took half of her brain. When you looked at her it was as if you were looking at a pie that had a quarter piece taken out. With God's help and the support of Wes and his wife, she recovered, went back to school, graduated and went on to live a productive, normal life. This was a huge financial burden on the family; Wes met the challenge. He was a strong believer and supported not only his church but was a community supporter.
Straight out of OU, he went into business. He worked hard to make a living; he had some business failures, but came right back. He became successful, but it never changed him. He was a great father. He and Steve had much in common. I'm grateful to be able to call them friends. They were both great Sooners. Rest in peace, Steve and Wes.
Jim Means, Round Rock, Texas

Are there parallel universes? Universes in which, rather than reading this article, you are still asleep; in which you are happier, unhappier, richer, poorer, or even dead? The answer is "possibly". It's a controversial claim but one that has won more and more followers over the last few decades.
Some general ideas in very few words and without equations.
Here's a quick introduction to the most famous cat in the history of science. We hope it whets your appetite for quantum mechanics!
To mark national cat day, here's a quick look at the most famous cat in the history of science: Schrödinger's cat.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

We are now a little past the mid-point of the 2012 season and the Cincinnati Reds find themselves one game out of first place behind the red-hot Pittsburgh Pirates and a game-and-a-half ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Reds just finished a grueling 11 games in 11 days west coast stretch in which they went 6-5. Could or should have been 8-3, but that's the way it goes sometimes.
Now, we are beginning the second half of the season. It is time for my predictions concerning the Cincinnati Reds.
Let's start with hitting.
Joey Votto – leads the team in average at .348 and hits at 100. He has been a doubles machine having blasted 35 so far this year. This is in addition to his 14 homeruns. Over the west coast trip he faultered a little at the plate. Look for him to be outstanding for the rest of the season and to end up the year above .350 and, very likely, another MVP to his credit.
Zack Cozart leads all rookies in extra base hits (32). Look for that trend to continue. As he gets more comfortable in the show, I look for him to improve the batting average and be more consistent. Right now he is .252. I expect Cozart to be a .270 hitter by season's end and, very possibly, another Rookie of the Year award for the Cincinnati Reds.
Jay Bruce leads the Reds in RBI 56 and HR 18. He is struggling with the strike outs and is very streaky. I don't expect him to be any more consistent than he is right now. However, look for Bruce to push the 40 homerun mark and around 120 RBI. Both of those would be very welcome numbers for the Cincinnati Reds.
Brandon Phillips is hitting at a higher average than he normally does at a .280 clip. Currently, Phillips has 10 homeruns. I expect him to be around 25 by seasons end. However, he must learn how to hit with RISP or the Cincinnati Reds will be in trouble.
The rest of the roster must also learn that lesson. The Cincinnati Reds are 11-24 when they do not hit a homerun. They just cannot move runners along very well. The homeruns will start to dry up as the postseason approaches, so to be successful then, they must learn to play small ball.
I expect that the Cincinnati Reds will do just that and finish the year, where I expected them to at the beginning of the season, in first place of the Central Division.
Enjoy the ride!

Unions vote next week; ONA reps not 'satisfied'
By GRACE WYLER
Unions representing more than 1,500 workers at Forum Health have reached tentative agreements with Community Health Systems.
But some union leaders remain skeptical that the Fortune 500 company will value quality care over the bottom line.
After more than a month of negotiations, Community Health Systems, the Tennessee-based company that purchased bankrupt Forum for $120 million Aug. 10, has concluded talks with the Ohio Nurses Association and Service Employees International Union District 1199 this week, union officials and company representatives said Thursday.
The ONA represents registered nurses at Forum's Northside Medical Center in Youngstown and Hillside Rehabilitation Hospital in Howland, and the SEIU represents service workers at Northside and Trumbull Memorial Hospital of Warren.
Union members are scheduled to vote on the agreements early next week. Officials said they would not reveal details of the agreements until after the vote.
But ONA representatives were "less than satisfied" with their negotiations with CHS, said Eric Williams, president of the Youngstown General Duty Nurses Association at Northside. Williams declined to give details about the agreement.
"What we found was that CHS had little concern for the value of our registered nurses or the importance of their work," Williams added in a statement. "CHS representatives left the ONA RN representatives with the impression that profit ranks higher than quality and RN satisfaction in the CHS list of priorities."
The union that represents the remainder of Forum's 3,500 to 4,000 workers is still in talks with CHS, said company spokeswoman Tomi Galin.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represent nurses at Trumbull Memorial and Hillside, met with CHS on Thursday, and the parties are set to meet again next week, she said.
AFSCME officials did not respond to calls to comment.
"We are very pleased that agreements have been reached with the ONA and SEIU," Galin said. "We are making good progress in our efforts to finalize the acquisition of Forum Health and hope that the transaction will be completed soon."
The purchase, approved by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kay Woods on Aug. 10, still is being reviewed by Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray, who must sign off on the proposal before the transaction can be finalized.
Cordray said Thursday that review is nearly complete.
"We are very close," he said. "Possibly as soon as early next week."
The day of strong unions at Forum are dead. CHS holds all the cards. Be glad you have a job now in this economy because by rights Northside should have been closed because the area doesn't need that hospital capacity any longer.
Wow - maybe CHS isn't the savior everyone said they were? they are a for profit company do you really think they care about the workin man? They are in this to make money!
Obviously CHS is a for-profit company, and they are in the business to make money. Forum has already proven that it can't maintain solvency. CHS has been successful in acquiring bankrupt non-profit-hospitals and making them solvent. But that solvency comes at a price. For-profit healthcare is a different culture. The days of the powerful nurses union are gone. Unions are rare in the south, and I don't see CHS welcoming any unions who try to push their weight around.
It's moot,..
Community Health Services has apparently already ruined what was established as great quality care at the former forum health facilities.
Beyond my own family physician severing ties with practicing out of there. Upon inquiry I was informed none of their colleagues no longer practicing anywhere in the former Forum health facilities either since the Community Health takeover.
Where along with and beyond knowing that. I've recently been informed from close friends that Community Health services has ruined the services there to a point they'll never go back.
One took his son there with a soccer injury and another whom took herself for onset of discomfort were livid about how it's changed.
In both cases they gave practically the same account of under staffing and money being the ultimate question.
Irony is along with having the utmost respect for my Doc. Both those friends that were livid about what they experienced both have damn good Health care plans too.
So with that being fact now just imagine how those who don't have top notch coverage will be treated,.. and or NOT treated.
The shame of it all is the area NEEDS those health centers and unfortunately I don't see them remaining viable as remaining open beyond a year from now.
@ Union_never
You're a lying nut,..
It's something how you'll say anything just for the sake of espousing your own inaccurate innuendo.
First off if the area didn't have a need for the capacity any longer like you so grossly lied about. Then a for profit outfit damn sure wouldn't have ever gotten into the bidding for purchase.
See they're a business and in a manner of prospecting they did the regional numbers first. For which they unquestionably saw the financial gain well worth their investment interest,.. nobody ASKED them to buy Forum.
Not only that but you're too stupid to realize that they even raised their bidding a number of times to trap that market that they'd surveyed.
They're a southern based pack of money chasers that's showing their stripes. By how the intolerable drop off of quality care has immediately already surfaced there.
It's so bad that in Youngstown the loss of Forums care has St. Elizabeth's swamped with the overload of patients.
The shame is under forum they had some exceptional personnel and top notch care going on there. Now CHS has placed their stamp on it all and it's horrifying.
By all means don't just take my word for it. Ask your family, friends and physicians about what they've experienced and how it's affected them.
UnionFoever....... if you're going to comment, make sence! If Northside isn't needed, then why are they still as busy as they are? Yes, the whole system was poorly managed, but they do continue to provide care and folks still use and prefer this system.

Scotland Yard Arrests Sun Reporter in Probe
LONDON—British authorities arrested a reporter from News Corp.'s U.K. tabloid the Sun on Friday amid a probe into police bribery, marking the first time the scandal over illicit reporting tactics has shifted the spotlight to the now-closed News of the World's weekday sister paper.
The Metropolitan Police, or Scotland Yard, said the force had arrested a 48-year-old man in connection with an "allegations of inappropriate payments to police" but declined to name him. A person familiar with the matter identified the man as Jamie Pyatt, a reporter at the Sun who covers a suburban area outside London.
Mr. Pyatt remained in custody Friday evening at a London police station. He hasn't been charged. Neither Mr. Pyatt nor his wife answered requests for comment.
The arrest comes as the latest twist in a scandal that began in late 2005 with allegations that the News of the World—the News Corp. Sunday tabloid that was closed in July—was intercepting the voice mails of the royal family's staff in pursuit of scoops.
The phone-hacking scandal has since mushroomed, with the company eventually being forced to admit that the paper frequently hacked phones to acquire information.
Police reopened the probe into phone hacking at the News of the World in January. About six months later, Scotland Yard opened a second, parallel investigation into whether tabloids including the News of the World had bribed police. There is also a third probe into other unlawful tactics, such as computer hacking, that News of the World or other tabloids may have used to get information.
News International, the U.K. newspaper unit of News Corp., confirmed in a statement that an employee had been arrested Friday morning. "News International is cooperating fully with the Metropolitan Police service in its various investigations," the company said.
News Corp. owns The Wall Street Journal.
On Friday, News International officially opened a long-promised plan under which victims of the News of the World's voice-mail interceptions can apply for compensation. The company is hoping potential victims will avail themselves of the program rather than suing in court.
News Corp. shut down the News of the World, the most popular Sunday paper in Britain, this past July following revelations that the tabloid had hacked the voice-mail account of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler in 2002 after her disappearance.
The New York-based media conglomerate this week reported an impairment and restructuring charge of $91 million for the three months ended Sept. 30, a figure that includes fees related to the tabloid's closure. Operating income in News Corp.'s publishing division was $110 million, a 38% decline from the same quarter a year earlier, partly due to the News of the World shutting down.
Friday's arrest is the first police have made in connection with the tabloid reporting scandal in about two months. So far this year, authorities have arrested more than 15 people in connection with the alleged wrongdoing at the News of the World, all of whom have been released. No one has been charged.
Mr. Pyatt has worked at the Sun for more than 15 years and has never worked at the News of the World, a person familiar with the matter said. He was nominated for "Scoop of the Year" at the British Press Awards in 2006 for breaking a story in the Sun about Prince Harry attending a costume party dressed as a Nazi. Mr. Pyatt also covered the disappearance of Milly Dowler for the paper. His arrest raised worries in the Sun newsroom, which so far has been somewhat unscathed by the scandal at the News of the World, a person familiar with the matter said.
Mr. Pyatt's arrest also comes less than a week before News Corp. deputy chief operating officer James Murdoch is due to appear before a U.K. parliamentary committee to testify on phone hacking. Mr. Murdoch appeared before the committee alongside his father, News Corp. chief executive Rupert Murdoch, in July but has been recalled for more questioning on the matter.
For the first time, News International on Friday directed potential phone-hacking victims to a website explaining how to seek compensation—a process being overseen for News Corp. by a former U.K. High Court judge. In April, News International admitted liability in eight civil lawsuits tied to phone hacking and said that it would set up the program but it has only now come online.
News Corp. set aside £15 million to £20 million ($24 million to $32 million) to pay the prospective claims at the time, a person familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal earlier this year. More than three dozen pending privacy claims have been filed against the company in U.K. court.
Hundreds of people could win compensation either in court or via the program. Scotland Yard said, as of Nov. 3, information on 5,795 "potentially identifiable persons" had been found in material seized from a private investigator who had been intercepting voice mails for the News of the World. The police said "it is not possible to give a precise figure about the number of people whose phones have actually been 'hacked.'"
