In celebration of Earth Day, the Massachusetts Bar Association
is wrapping up its Lawyers Eco-Challenge cell phone recycling
program, which collected hundreds of cell phones and accessories
from the legal community in the state over the past year.
The MBA has collected and recycled 239 phones, 254 phone chargers
and 90 other accessories that would have otherwise been tossed in
garbage cans since starting the cell phone recycling program in
February 2009. The program was launched in conjunction with Verizon Wireless' HopeLine program.
"Our cell phone recycling program kept hundreds of cell phones out
of landfills that contained dangerous hazardous chemicals, and it
provided a service to our members who sought a way to recycle their
unwanted phones," said Nancy B. Reiner, co-chair of the Energy and
Environment Task Force, which oversees the Eco-Challenge. Reiner
co-chairs the task force with Susan Reid, senior attorney and
director of the Massachusetts Clean Energy and Climate Change
Initiative for the Conservation Law Foundation, which partnered
with the MBA in 2007 to launch the Lawyers Eco-Challenge.
The phones and accessories were collected at five locations:
HopeLine has collected more than 7
million phones and kept more than 200 tons of electronic waste and
batteries out of landfill since the national recycling program
began in October 2001. The proceeds - including more than 7.9
million in cash grants - benefit organizations running domestic
violence awareness and prevention programming, including YWCA of
Western Massachusetts, the Norfolk County Sheriff's Department and
Boston Area Rape Crisis Center.
Since the 2007 launch of the Eco-Challenge, the MBA and CLF have
issued the MBA Lawyers Environmental Pledge, and published Green
Guidelines for the office, home and landscaping. More than 100
firms, attorneys or organizations throughout the state have joined
to become Pledge Partners.

de Mick Rooney
Acerca del libro
Aquarius Communications have been publishing Mick Rooney's books since 1990. Thais was first published in 1990. This is the second and newest edition published due to supply demand.
Thais is perhaps one of Mick Rooney's most powerful and poignant books and is the one he is most often requested to read from at public readings. It combines the common poetic fairytale and stark historical themes which appear in much of his fictional work. Thais was written after the author had read Marco Nahon's moving book, 'Birkenau, The Camp of Death' and also after he watched Claude Lanzmann's extraordinary holocaust film, 'Shoah'.
In Thais, we are at the mercy of our persecutors and the ravages of history and childhood fairytales. Written in two distinct parts, Thais is a cinematic journey of two worlds colliding unforgettably against a landscape of cruelty and beauty.

Prison bosses have joined forces with children's charity Barnardo's to stop inmates' youngsters from following in their footsteps.
Statistics show that nearly two thirds of sons of offenders will also become prison inmates and that 200,000 children in Britain have parents or guardians serving sentences behind bars.
Erlestoke custodial manager Nick Howard is working with schools on a scheme where the children of offenders can seek support and help, designed to keep them on the straight and narrow. It was launched at the prison on Tuesday morning.
School champions will be recruited to support the children of offenders. They will help to counter the stigma of being the child of a convict, a source of resentment that experts say often leads to the child also offending.
Mr Howard, who has been seconded to Barnardo's to set up the scheme, said of the youngsters: "They've done nothing wrong but they feel alienated by society. Their behaviour may become difficult and demanding, their confidence can be crushed and their schoolwork can suffer, which has huge implications for their future prospects."
"The inspiration came from a prison/nursery schools champions event in Bristol I went to. I thought it would be a fantastic idea to translate it to primary schools. It has been shown that boys who have had positive family visits with the parent in custody are less likely to offend. One of our targets is to reduce the stigma of having a parent in prison."
School champions could include headteachers, teaching assistants or even catering staff. Volunteers spend half a day at the prison to learn more about prison life and experience the visit from a family's point of view, as well as attending workshops on how to support children.
Schools will then be invited to display posters with the details of their local champion and how to get in touch.
Mr Howard attended a primary school heads forum in the area and got a lot of support from headteachers there, particularly Judy Finney, head of Dilton Marsh Primary School.
She said: "Nick, who used to be one of our school governors, approached me about it and I thought we would like to be part of it. Ofsted has graded us outstanding and, although our academic standards are very high, it is the child we look after first.
"An anxious child doesn't learn, so we do all we can to make sure our children are well and happy. We don't know if any of our children have parents in prison. Unless a parent or child tells us, there is no way of knowing.
"We hope children with these kind of problems will feel they can approach us."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Florida's Bright Futures scholarship program has helped millions of Florida's high school graduates go to college. But the program continues to get cut year after year, making the goal of a secondary education more expensive.
Bright Futures was launched in 1997 and was a scholarship program that would have funded either 100 or 75 percent of a student's tuition at state colleges or universities, depending on grades and entrance exam scores.
There is essentially the same amount of money every year that goes into the Bright Futures program, but the number of students receiving that money has increased. Meaning, everyone's piece of funding shrinks.
Tyler Kelsey, a student at the University of North Florida said he's glad the program is helping him because otherwise he wouldn't be able to attend UNF.
"If there were no Bright Futures or if they keep cutting it, I would have had to stick with my local community college just because its cheaper," said Kelsey.
In recent years the legislature considered making changes to the program, like offering the fund only to those pursuing degrees in science, technology, education and math.
The highest level of the scholarship used to be given to the academic scholars who would have received 100 percent of their tuition ten years ago. Now, that top scholar only gets $100 per credit hour. That money only covers half the cost of tuition.
Every year the funding amount each student receives changes. That's why financial aid experts say students should start shopping for scholarships early and learn as much as they can about potential college expenses.
"It's unfortunate because Bright Futures gives kids motivation to do better in school, because the better you do, the more money you get," said Anissa Agne with UNF Financial Aid.

Women of the Year: the Best Dressed of 2011
Kathy Wilson Atelier
Their Way: Husband and wife designers Kathy and Erik Wilson have a custom business that started out making one-of-a-kind pieces for such celebs as Stevie Wonder and Michelle Pfeiffer. But their clothes lacked any real oomph; the best adjectives I could muster when we met were bland, boring, and matronly—not words I'd equate with a successful collection.
My Way: My first order of business here was to brighten up the look by offsetting it with canary yellow, a hot color for spring. I turned the rectangular shift into a versatile shell, adding darts to give it more youthful energy and shape—and most of all, more commercial appeal. But, finally, styling was key here: The shell adds working-woman polish to wide-leg print pants and a skinny belt, but it also puts a distinctive modern spin on a strapless dress. See? Options!
Czar by Cesar Galindo
Their Way: A veteran designer for more than 20 years, Cesar made his name with evening gowns and cocktail dresses. He's gearing up to launch a contemporary collection but still hasn't determined how to translate his signature evening look for day.
My Way: My game plan was simple: Take what Cesar does best (glitz) and bring it into the daylight. The dress becomes a bustier, adorable with tailored shopping shorts and funky sunglasses but also appropriate for the office beneath a suit (ditch the jacket after hours).

Feds, police, national group to investigate Pittsburgh zoo
Federal officials, police and the national Association of Zoos and Aquariums will review Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium's procedures because of the fatal mauling of a 2-year-old Pleasant Hills boy on Sunday by a pack of African painted dogs.
"Right now, we're in shock. Obviously, we want to make sure there's a good investigation for the family," said Steve Feldman, spokesman for the national zoo group based in Silver Spring, Md.
The association, which evaluates zoos on everything from animal care and welfare to conservation, reaccredited the Pittsburgh Zoo for five years in September. The process includes an on-site visit by three inspectors for three days, and safety is one of the issues they examine.
Neither the association nor the zoo would release the accreditation report.
Feldman said the association requests a report of any such incident at a zoo. He said that report will be released after the investigation by law enforcement.
"It's far too early to talk about what outcome might occur after that," Feldman said.
Zoo officials said the boy apparently slipped from his 34-year-old mother's arms on a 4-foot-tall wall and tumbled off a 14-foot-tall mesh barrier and into the dogs' enclosure.
City police shot and killed one of the 11 dogs that attacked the youngster.
The zoo was closed.
The Department of Agriculture also will investigate. A spokesman did not return requests for comment.
"We are taking appropriate actions in regard to whom we have to alert, and we will be doing that as soon as possible," zoo spokeswoman Tracy Gray said.
Feldman emphasized the rarity of such attacks.
"Considering that 75 million people visit accredited zoos every year, they have a remarkable safety record," he said. "This is obviously a terrible, terrible tragedy, but I do want people to know that zoos are safe."
However, this was not the first fatal accident at the Pittsburgh Zoo. Ten years ago, elephant handler Michael Gatti was crushed to death by an elephant while he was walking it on the grounds.

BROMSGROVE residents are being encouraged to take part in a consultation on plans to redraw the town's electoral map.
The independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England is asking people to comment on its draft proposals for new district council wards, ward boundaries and ward names.
An eight week public consultation is underway and closes on January 7.
The commission has recommended there should be 32 councillors, seven fewer than the current arrangements.
The proposals also include a move to a one-member-one-ward system.
Max Caller, chairman of the commission, said: "We are keen to hear what local people think of the recommendations.
"Over the next eight weeks, we are asking local people to tell us if they agree with the proposals or if not, how they can be improved.
"Our review aims to deliver electoral equality for Bromsgrove's voters.
"This means that each councillor represents a similar number of people so that everyone's vote in local elections is worth roughly the same regardless of where you live.
"We have an open mind about suggestions to change and improve these recommendations."
The full recommendations and interactive maps are available at consultation.lgbce.org.uk or on the commission's website, lgbce.org.uk.
Hard copies of the commission's report and maps are also available to view at council buildings and libraries.

Union files new complaints against L+M
New London — Two new unfair labor practice charges have been brought against Lawrence + Memorial Hospital over issues related to employees who work for Lawrence + Memorial Physician Associates, a hospital subsidiary.
AFT Connecticut, the union that represents nurses, technical and health care workers at the main hospital, announced the new charges Tuesday evening. Since January, the union has filed a total of five charges against the hospital related to LMPA workers and their efforts to be part of the hospital union.
In the latest charges, the union said that the hospital is "segregating union and non-union workers" at its Stonington site. In a pending case with the National Labor Relations Board, the union says LMPA workers should be part of the same unions as their counterparts at the main hospital. At the same time, it is pursuing an effort to form a separate union if it is not successful in that case. A majority of the 100 LMPA workers have signed cards stating that they want to join the existing union.
The other new charge alleges that the hospital has threatened to relocate unionized employees and close offices and has threatened employees with loss of pay and benefits.
Hospital officials could not be reached to comment Tuesday evening.

AN EXHIBITION to remember those who served in the First World War will feature the names and faces of hundreds of 'Greater Accrington' heroes.
The 17-foot long display of more than 2,200 photographs is the result of years of meticulous research matching photographs to service records by war historians.
Unusually for records from this time, the Haworth Art Gallery exhibit now also features four women after rare photographs of war-time nurses were discovered.
The research is part of the ongoing campaign by Pals historian Walter Holmes to uncover as many of the 14,000 servicemen from Greater Accrington as he can.
He started the project with his late colleague Bill Turner 10 years ago. Mr Holmes said the recent addition of nurses from Clayton-le-Moors, mentioned in newspaper clippings, Ada Whittaker, of Queen Street, and volunteer aide Margaret Baron, 28, of Adelaide Street, was particularly satisfying.
Two other nurses, whose photographs were sent to him, are known only as Edith Woods and Miss Brodie.
He said: "Finding photos like these is like looking for hens' teeth.
"Nurses would only have been featured in newspapers if they had died.
"The Clayton-le-Moors nurses, for example seem to have died in the 1918 flu epidemic and were buried in Clayton-le-Moors cemetery."
He said the details of soldiers were easier to find as they were mentioned in newspapers for medals or in group photographs.
Accrington Library gave Mr Holmes access to all papers between 1914 and 1923 and a room to work in.
"For years I have been collecting all possible information on every man who took the King's shilling and will carry on, checking through service and pension records.
"Researching the stories behind the photos is fascinating," he said.
"John Edward Chippendale for example, whose landing in Gallipoli in 1915 was also a reunion with his brother Robert who had emigrated to Australia five years before.
"It is amazing that something like that could have brought them together again."

Stars set to shine
Alberta Football League finalists host Calgary Gators on Saturday in St. Albert in rematch of last year's championship game
Wednesday, Jun 04, 2014 06:00 am
The St. Albert Stars have a score to settle with the Calgary Gators when the Alberta Football League kicks off Saturday.
Revenge is the game plan after last year's 41-16 loss to the undefeated Gators in the AFL final.
�What we did in the championship wasn�t good enough so we�re hoping with the new guys that we�ve got on the team we can come out with a win,� said halfback Devin Guedo. �They have a lot more guys, a lot more commitment and they�ve been around the league for a lot longer so we�re coming in as the underdogs as usual.�
The rematch starts at 5 p.m. at Riel Recreation Park.
�It will definitely be a big game,� said Guedo, a high school football product of the St. Albert High Skyhawks. �We�re playing against a perfect team from last year so everyone has got to step it up.�
The Stars lit it up in their inaugural AFL season with six wins and two of the team�s four losses were against the Gators, losers of the 16th annual Canadian Major Football League final to the National Football Conference champion Montreal Transit 50-28 in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec.
�As a first year team we did great but we don�t want to be losing in the finals. We want to be a championship team,� Guedo said. �We�ve got to step up our commitment and start getting more guys out.�
The Stars unveiled this year�s line-up in Saturday�s 26-12 exhibition win over the Central Alberta Buccaneers in St. Albert.
�We still have a lot of stuff to work on,� Guedo said. �It�s a completely different team than last year and we�re just trying to work out our kinks. With us going to the championship last year we have a lot of new guys that came out. We�re working in new players and we�re working out a whole new offence and a whole new defence as well.
�It will be fun to see what we can do in our second year in the league.�
The Stars started their first drive at the six-yard line and didn�t move the ball and on third down gave up a safety.
On the next series from the 20, quarterback Troy Pappas was sacked on second down and the Stars surrendered another safety.
Early in the second quarter Shane Hall returned an interception 75 yards for a pick-six. The point after attempt was unsuccessful.
Towards the end of the first half Manny Gordon bolted 42 yards to the 10 and two plays later Jeff Czernysz hit Terrance Williams for a 10-yard touchdown. The conversion made it 13-4.
Gordon had 10 carries overall for 84 yards and one fumble.
The Stars also dropped two picks in the first half.
In the third quarter the Bucs completed an eight-yard TD pass, as the receiver reeled in a deflected ball in the endzone. The two-point conversion play was successful.
Tyler Wilson returned the ensuing kick off 99 yards to the house and the Bucs stopped the two-point conversion play.
Wilson racked up 197 all-purpose yards as a speedy returner and receiver.
Before quarter time Mike Mawusi picked off a pass near midfield.
Six minutes into the fourth quarter Matt Jarvis entered the game and on his first carry the former fifth-year tailback and MVP of the 2010 Alberta Golden Bears exploded off-tackle for a 40-yard TD.
Earlier in the day the sleek rugby winger busted loose for a long try for St. Albert�s second division team and as a second-half substitute ran for another try for the premier side. He arrived at halftime for the exhibition and before the fourth quarter slipped into Pappas� No. 8 jersey for his first gridiron appearance since university and gained 52 yards on two handoffs.
With under five minutes to play Erik Kyler�s interception snuffed out a drive in Stars territory.
�The score really doesn�t say how the Bucs played. They played great and made a lot of plays,� said Guedo, a terror on special teams. �Special teams are huge and my goal this year is to show guys special teams are not a joke. It�s one third of the game. If you give that up you�re going to lose.�
The quarterbacking trio of Pappas, Czernysz and Josh Gillespie combined for seven completions on 15 attempts for 121 yards.
Defensively the Stars pressured the quarterback throughout the contest. Aaron McComish recorded two sacks and Gabriel David and C.J. Auigebelle had one each.
�Our strength is our defence and we definitely showed it today. We played well, we made a lot of good stops and we got some interceptions. We have a lot of returning guys from last year,� said Guedo, 23.
This is his second AFL season after taking two years off following a stint with the Edmonton Wildcats.
�I came in with the mentality that it�s just men�s league, it will be just that, and then when I came out here it was just like junior. You�ve got to show up and you�ve got to put your time in,� Guedo said. �I was playing against ex-CFL guys, ex-junior players and ex-university players. There were guys better than I am and I really underestimated the level of football. The league definitely has skill and talent and the games are intense.

AFC Wimbledon came back from a goal behind to steal three vital League Two points off Wembley-bound Bradford City.
Garry had fired the Bantams ahead on the hour mark to leave Neal Ardley's team staring down the barrel of a sixth league game without a win.
However, Jack Midson came off the bench to head the Dons level with just seven minutes to go, before Gary Alexander struck in injury time to give Ardley a vital 2-1 win.
AFC Wimbledon could lift themselves off the foot of the table and out of the relegation zone tomorrow night (Tuesday) with a win over promotion-chasing Northampton Town.

Does anyone know of a PHP script that converts video to flv?
I would like to create a form that uploads video and converts them to FLV format in order to play it
So interesting,but i prefer use Macvide VideoFlash Converter .It's prog can convert youtube's video to mov.
Hello!!!!!!:) I would recomend you Video to Flash Converter <snip> it's very good programm and simple in use:cool:
I don't think that is PHP Based.... is it?
hello once again:) excuse me, I a bit entangled the program.:blush: Video to Flash Console <snip> - here that you are need.. sorry for my mistake....
interesting, but its a bit pricey.
Whats the difference between the Free Download, Single license and Site license?
Fully support dual core CPU, Wondershare Zune Video Suite provides fast conversion speed, far beyond your imagination. Powerful video edit functions let you enjoy movies on Zune freely.
/me thinks this is spam
Yeah..... Only 1 post
I have known about single and site license these things: single license is given only one developer and only on one computer. Site license can be used on the different computers by a group of developers.
yeah!! but it have a free version, which you can download now and try it!!! May be if this program would be so good for you that you save some money and buy it!!! ahaha!!!
Mashka is a spammer - all posts advertising a program widely known to be by a company (geovid) that shamelessly spams forums and blogs worldwide, and have users banned from pretty much every major forum that discusses video on the internet.
Can you trust to install an application made by a company that openly approves of spam and deceit?
Yeah, Also his site wasn't very professional and trust worthy.And his product is way over priced.
So currently no FREE PHP based convert tools?
Look at this link:http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=509048

Hadag Nahash got a Center City crowd up and dancing to their beat.
Members of the Israeli hip-hop band Hadag Nahash looked out at the crowd one song into their performance on the last night of Chanukah at Congregation Rodeph Shalom and decided that people sitting and listening respectfully wouldn't work. They asked the audience to stand, and for the rest of the show, fans were upright, moving to sharp Hebrew and English lyrics over thumping beats.
One of the most popular bands in Israel, Hadag Nahash has been compared to American music groups such as The Roots and Black Eyed Peas and had its music featured in Adam Sandler's 2008 film, "You Don't Mess With Zohan." They stopped in Philly for the show sponsored by the Reform congregation and PhillyIsrael and will next play two shows in Mexico before returning later this month to Israel.
The sextet performed at the front of the Reform congregation's historic sanctuary to a couple hundred people. Sha'anan Street kept the energy level high, leading much of the singing and rapping, while Guy Mar mixed turntables and samples, and Shlomi Alon, on wind instruments, and David Klems, on keyboard, delivered funky solos. Yaya Cohen Harounoff and Moshe "Atraf" Asraf maintained steady, interesting rhythms on bass and drums.
View a slideshow and a video of the performance in the multimedia section.

MOUNT BLANCHARD, Ohio (AP) -- Wildlife officials are tamping down rumors that a mountain lion is prowling in a small northern Ohio town. They say it's a cat, all right -- but just a large house cat.
The (Findlay) Courier (http://bit.ly/O9UFm2 ) reports that the rumors started recently when the cat was photographed by a motion-activated trail camera strapped to a tree in Mount Blanchard. People started talking, and some of them started calling state wildlife officials.
But state wildlife official Bob Flickinger told the newspaper that further study of the photos showed the animal is just a big domestic cat.
Mountain lions don't live in Ohio, but residents thought a wild cat kept as a pet by someone might have escaped.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- A judge set bond at $2 million for a Cleveland mother charged with killing her 3-year-old son and putting his body in the trash.
Twenty-year-old Camilia Terry was arraigned Thursday on an aggravated murder charge. She must appear back in court for another hearing in a week.
Terry is accused in the death of her son Emilliano, whose body was found in trash bags at a waste processing center Monday.
Terry initially told police that Emilliano went missing during a Sunday outing to a park.
The medical examiner's office hasn't determined the cause of death, but a prosecutor said the boy had suffered a fractured skull.
Around 75 people showed up at the park for a vigil Wednesday night to pray and remember the toddler as church bells chimed.

Sencha provides tools for buildings Web applications to run on a variety of devices, including tablets, mobile phones, and laptops with touchscreens. Focused on HTML5, Sencha's products include its Sencha Touch mobile application development framework. InfoWorld Editor at Large Paul Krill recently met with Sencha CEO Michael Mullany to discuss the mobile application landscape, sizing up native versus Web development, and emerging platforms, including Tizen and Firefox OS.
InfoWorld: Has the HTML5 application caught up to native, or is that never going to happen?
Mullany: We did a pretty cool promotion and proof-of-concept last year, after [Facebook CEO Mark] Zuckerberg said HTML5 was a big mistake for the company. We took exception because we knew it could be just as fast as native. We looked through its app -- we've seen this in other companies -- and when you build an HTML5 app, you can't build it like you build a Web page. If you treat it like a Web page, you're going to have slow performance. You have to treat it like a programming platform.
InfoWorld: What's next for mobile application development?
Mullany: What everyone is trying to do is get to a single code base that can be easily adapted for different device types. Today that basically means for enterprise users. It's really the iPad as the tablet device; on phones, it's BlackBerry phones, a little bit of Windows Phone, and iOS and Android. That's the trend for everything we've been focused on for the last couple of years, which is allowing developers to create one application that can adjust to the different devices they find themselves on.
InfoWorld: Any thoughts on new platforms, such as Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, or BlackBerry 10?
Mullany: The [BlackBerry] Z10 is a very nice phone. It's a great HTML5 platform. It actually has the most HTML5 features of anything in the market. The browser team at BlackBerry was an acquisition from a company called Torch Mobile, and they had been working on WebKit for several years before they were acquired. The Staikos brothers were the guys there, and they've done a really nice job on the browser. For people looking to deploy HTML5 apps, the Z10 is a pretty good platform.
InfoWorld: What do you think is going to happen with Firefox OS and Tizen?
Mullany: Our early look at Tizen is that it probably has about nine months to go before it's really production-ready. The early versions we saw at Mobile World Congress [in February] were slow and buggy. These are obviously pre-released development devices, so that makes sense. But they have a bunch of work to do before it releases.
The Firefox OS stuff was pretty snappy, and people were very excited about Firefox OS at the show. People were literally falling off the edge of the booth because there wasn't enough space for everyone who wanted to get in and see Firefox OS.
InfoWorld: What do you see from competitors like Appcelerator and RhoMobile?
Mullany: The biggest competitor is just native development. HTML5 today is the No. 3 development platform for mobile behind iOS and Android.
InfoWorld: Do you see that changing?
Mullany: Yes. I see it changing because Android is fragmenting and the device diversity is increasing. We're also seeing a pullback from some customers who have gone the iOS route, who want their code to be long-lived and don't know how long they're going to be on iPads. They want the flexibility of switching over to other platforms in the future, and the notion that they have this massive stranded code base written in Apple native code is not attractive.
InfoWorld: Working with an HTML5 app, they could just move it over?
Mullany: With an HTML5 app, they can just move it over to whatever hardware is the best price-performance and features that year.
InfoWorld: Would you have to tweak the code a little bit?
Mullany: Not if you're using a framework. That's one of the benefits of using a framework, which is we abstract that from you.

Sen. Bill Nelson: A stake in the heart of a law that guaranteed fair elections
Published: Saturday, July 6, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 9:42 p.m.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in striking down a central provision of the Voting Rights Act, hammered a stake into the heart of a law that's been used to guarantee fair elections in this country since 1965.
Now, it's unfortunately left up to a dysfunctional and highly partisan Congress to fix the law. And if I had my way, we'd already be working on it.
Congress passed the Voting Rights Act to protect everybody's right to vote.
In a nutshell, it required states with a history of voter suppression to get approval from the federal government before making changes to their voting laws. For nearly five decades, these states had to show why a change in their voting laws or practices was necessary and demonstrate how that change wouldn't harm voters.
But the Supreme Court — by a 5-4 vote — gutted that law, saying a part of it was outdated. In so doing, the highest court in our land rendered the law void until Congress comes up with new criteria to be used in determining which states and localities have to get federal approval in advance of voting changes.
Specifically, the court's majority said our country has changed since the 1960s, when the Voting Rights Act was first passed, and that we no longer have blatant voter suppression tactics, like, poll taxes and literacy tests — which were once used to disenfranchise untold numbers of voters all across the country.
Unfortunately, voter suppression is alive and well in this country. It may not be as blatant.But it happens and, in my view, is more stealthy, sophisticated and just as pernicious as ever.
Leading up to the most recent elections in 2012, 15 states passed restrictive voting laws and executive actions, according to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law. And, as the center noted, these states accounted for 203 electoral votes, or 75 percent of the total needed to win the presidency.
One of those states was my home state of Florida, where the Legislature passed and the governor signed a voter suppression law that caused the League of Women Voters, after 73 years, to decide it would no longer conduct voter registration drives throughout the state. The new law also cut Florida's early voting days from 14 to eight.
It was the Voting Rights Act that allowed the federal government to step in and win a case before a panel of Washington, D.C., judges who found that Florida's reduction of early voting days "would make it materially more difficult for some minority voters to cast a ballot."
So, Florida had to restore 96 hours of early voting, or the equivalent of four days.
Still, the new election law lead to an embarrassing fiasco on Election Day. Lines were long and people waited for hours to cast their vote. Faced with calls for extending poll hours, Republican Gov. Rick Scott chose to ignore the people and, in so doing, failed to do what his two Republican predecessors had done: extend voting hours in some of the most swamped polling places to give the folks there a little more time to cast their ballot.
The Supreme Court's decision not only removes much needed voter protections, it prevents the federal government from trying to block discriminatory state laws before they go into effect. States and local jurisdictions, including even those with a history of voter suppression, are now free to do as they please.
In fact, it was only moments after the justices invalidated part of the Voting Rights Act that Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said his state will begin "immediately" honoring local legislation that a federal court has said imposes "strict, unforgiving burdens" on many Texas residents wanting to cast ballots.
The right to vote has not always been given to all Americans. Black men didn't have the right to vote until after the Civil War. Then women won their right to cast a ballot in 1920. And minorities such as Latinos didn't get voter protections until the mid 1970s.
In rejecting the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court ignored our country's history of expanding fundamental rights — not making it more difficult for citizens to obtain them.
I am deeply disappointed by the court's decision. But I remain committed now more than ever to working with a deeply divided Senate to move toward a common vision — protecting and preserving the democratic ideal of one person, one vote.
Bill Nelson is Florida's senior U.S. senator.

In the state of Kentucky, it is the job of the magistrate to oversee the spending of our tax dollars. Read that again and let it sink in.
Brian Linder is the person for this job. His experience alone speaks for itself. His daily job for the Owen County RECC is to save us money. Not for a big company, but for us. Right now, money is hard to come by, and even harder to keep, yet government spending seems to be at an all time high! Why do I have to stay within my budget, when the government doesn't have to?
For the years I have known Wanda Hammons, I have known her to be honest, full of integrity, full of character and extremely energetic. She stays busy and prefers it that way. What impresses me the most is her love for her community and its people, and she is always willing to stand up for what is right, regardless of the repercussions.
Simply stated, Hammons is 'good people.' I am proud to speak up on her behalf on whatever endeavor she pursues.
Darren Graham, NREMT-P, AS, FPC
Base Manager, PHI 6
Wanda Hammons, candidate for Magistrate District 2, is an extraordinary woman with numerous talents and abilities. How fortunate for Grant County that she will devote herself to continued service for the community that she dearly loves.
Hammons and I worked together for many years for the Grant County Board of Education. I served as director of federal programs and she served as my administrative assistant. She is highly intelligent, energetic, organized and compassionate.
I am writing this letter to tell you about Harvey Perleberg who is running for the office of jailer of Grant County.
I knew of him from my brother, Mike Louis, who was in jail at the time he worked there. My brother told me that if it wasn't for Mr. Perleberg, he would have had a hard time.
Perleberg went out of his way to make sure he had tooth ache medicine and paid for it out of his own pocket. That small act of kindness changed my brother's life. After he served his time, he moved south and raised a family and has never been in trouble again.
"There are no easy answers but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right." - Ronald Reagan
Calling all Grant Countians who care about the future of their community!
Here's your chance to speak up.
The Grant County News and Grant County Chamber of Commerce are co-sponsoring a "Meet the Candidates" Night at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 21 at Williamstown High School.
Candidates for judge-executive, jailer, coroner, magistrate, mayor and city council will be answering questions that you think are important.
So here's your chance to let the Grant County News staff know what you want the candidates to be asked.
I want the folks in your community to know what great band parents are in the Williamstown and Grant County High School band program. Our band pit trailer recently got caught in between two barriers, seeing that we were actually going to pick the trailer up and physically move it, 15-20 of those band parents jumped in and got us on unstuck.
I want to commend the Grant County High School football coaches and players regarding their courteous, polite, and respectful conduct they exhibited during their trip to their football game at Anderson County.
A few days ago, I took a min-vacation to a few midwestern states. At one point, I stopped at a state capitol administration department to obtain points of interest information. Surprisingly all the state workers had been replaced by a special group from India (seems there is not any one in the U.S. of A. smart enough to work the state computers). Due to the language difference, I could not explain what I wanted, nor understand what they were saying to me. Needless to say, I left without the information. In frustration, I decided to return home, ending my trip.
If our lawmakers passed a law saying that green-eyed people could no longer vote, wouldn't we be incensed? All green-eyed people would rise up in protest, and I among them. There would be demonstrations in the streets. Yet many of us, who are eligible to vote, will never go near the polls on Election Day. The turnout for Grant County for our primary election was only around 25 percent.
How many have heard if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all?
While this may be an antiquated notion by younger generations, it applies to those working for and with the public.
There is NEVER any reason for a public official or public employee to curse or name call.
At a recent fiscal court caucus meeting, heated discussion took place over operations at the Grant County Animal Shelter.
It's no secret that I like a good corndog and funnel cake and some of the best of both can be found at the county fair and even better ones can be found at the state fair.
I went to the state fair this year along with a host of Grant County 4-H ham project kids and their parents.
Grant County was well represented as the 4-H kids brought home many blue and red ribbons in only their first year of country ham competition.
Other Grant County 4-Hers and adults earned ribbons for photography, sewing, baking, art work, showing animals etc.
I'm probably the only person in this county that feels this way, but in my humble opinion, the Grant County Animal Shelter is taking itself a bit too seriously.
Now, I care as much as anyone about animals. All my life I have cared for and been surrounded by a whole host of animals. But with this comes a dose of common sense. To have a pet, you have to be able to accommodate it and it fit to your needs, etc.
There is a segment of the U.S. population cheerleading in favor of the ground zero mosque. One must ask, why? Imam Rauf says that it is for reconciliation. Really! Mohammed teaches that it is fine to lie to an infidel if it promotes Islam. I do not believe him. Why does he call it "The Cordoba Project?" When Islam defeated Christian Spain, the third largest mosque in the world was erected in Cordoba, Spain, to signify Islams victory over Christianity.
When you are a kid, you don't realize how quick life is. You want to make sure you don't miss out on anything, especially when you have someone special in your life.
Last week, I was covering the sporting events on Sept. 18, looking forward to a big moment that evening at Oktoberfest in Cincinnati, my proposal to my girlfriend Jessica Lynn Purnell.
For two weeks I had the ring stashed away waiting for that special Saturday. It seemed like an eternity to get here.
I have been searching the latest editions of the Grant County News expecting to see an article on the passing of a resolution of support for the State of Arizona by the Grant County Fiscal Court. In this resolution the citizens of Grant County expressed their approval of the Arizona law that allows the local police to check the immigration status of people who are guilty of a criminal offense and gives the officer a reason to suspect they are not in this country legally.
The world is coming to visit! Are we ready?
Beginning Sept. 25, running through Oct. 10, there will be thousands and thousands of travelers traveling through Grant County, on their way to the World Equestrian Games. If you think that won't affect us, you're wrong. People have to eat, people have to get gas, people have to spend the night somewhere. Checking with our local hotel and motel managers, I have found, they are getting lots of reservations for these dates. The Georgetown hotels are already totally booked. So that means our hotels will soon follow suit.
I'm not one to mark time by anniversary dates. It's just not how my mind works, and there are a lot of things that I try to forget.
Nostalgia keeps getting the better of me — it's age I guess. Lately this very hot summer has me thinking of homemade ice cream and my memories of Sunday afternoons in Williamstown.
No one knows the year when it entered Earth's atmosphere but it was found one April day in 1892, on a Grant County, Kentucky farm. Since that day, slices of it are located in the Vatican collection, Vatican City, Italy, the British National Museum, and nearly every major center of study from Harvard to Japan and elsewhere around the globe.
Here is a portion of the mostly forgotten story of Grant County's world-renowned 68-pound iron meteorite.

I have chosen a strong password to access my wireless AP with WPA2 security. I have used John the Ripper, Aircrack-ng, and Pyrit with no luck in finding the correct password with these tools.
What I usually did was to capture the handshake and JTR incremental:all it until the password was found. That taking to long I started compiling hash tables with pyrit. After 3 billion PMKs were created I attempted to attack the AP with no luck in finding the correct password.
New method involves using JTR and pyrit to build the hash tables for all available PMKs and then running pyrit attack_db to complete the crack.
Here's an example:
First use airodump-ng to capture your handshake
Import the essid you want to build a hash table for withCode:airodump-ng -w file -c channel --bssid BSSID wlan0
Then import the passwords from JTR by piping the results into pyrit withCode:pyrit -e ESSID create_essidAfter that finishes create the tables and attack withCode:/Desktop/pentest$ sudo /pentest/passwords/john/john --stdout --incremental:all | pyrit -i - import_unique_passwords
Good luck.Code:pyrit batch pyrit -r BSSID-01.cap attack_db

Did you know?
Zulu beadwork is linked to ancient traditions of romance and courtship.
A honeymoon in South Africa is a good way to start your life together, but the nagging question is – where to go? The fact is you are spoilt for choice when it comes to South Africa: for example, there is a beautiful coastline that stretches for about 3750 kilometres in total, and there are over 20 national parks to choose from (many of them offering the Big 5).
There are the formidable and breathtakingly beautiful Drakensberg Mountains in KwaZulu-Natal – as well as the wild stretches of bushveld in Mpumalanga, Limpopo and the North West provinces. The Free State offers big skies and homegrown hospitality and the Northern Cape's mesmerising lunar landscapes offer a new way to interpret romance.
Ideally, a South African honeymoon should be a combination of all the things you love to do when you travel. Create your wish list and take it from there – you can always combine different activities that you enjoy such as adventure and beaches, urban attractions and cuisine, the great outdoors and the Big 5, culture and creativity. Whatever your dreams are, South Africa is a superb destination that will guarantee a wealth of experiences thrown together in a single destination.
A honeymoon South African style is as laid-back or active as you'd like it to be. You might like to spend your time exploring the country, or just stay in one place and enjoy some well-earned rest after all the flurry of the wedding arrangements and the big day. One thing is for sure, there are fantastic choices for accommodation available to you, from 5-star hotels with every mod-con imaginable to luxury guesthouses to quaint bed and breakfasts that offer that home-away-from-home feel. South Africa continues to be a value-for-money destination, so shop around for that perfect honeymoon package.

(RNN) – Actress Angelina Jolie announced that she had a double mastectomy to reduce her chances of getting breast cancer.
In a New York Times op-ed, the Academy Award winner told the story of how her mother fought breast cancer for nearly 10 years, eventually succumbing to the disease at the age of only 56. Jolie said that she inherited the BRCA1 gene, which made her highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer.
"My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in the case of each woman," Jolie wrote.
The stark reality that she could die of the same disease that took her mother prompted Jolie to have a preventative double mastectomy last year. And after having the procedure, Jolie hoped to encourage other women to get tested for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, and to not be afraid of getting a mastectomy if they need to.
"I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people's hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness," Jolie said.
"But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action."
Although Jolie admitted that the procedure can at times be painful and frightening, Jolie explained that it was worth it for her.
"My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer. It is reassuring that they see nothing that makes them uncomfortable," Jolie said.
She added: "On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity."
Although getting a BRCA1 and BRCA test done could save one's life, getting it done can cost $3,000, which is out of reach for most women – a problem Jolie addressed in her op-ed.
According to the World Health Organization, Jolie said, breast cancer kills about 458,000 people each year, most of them in low and middle-income countries.

We do know that the conditions for rendering nursing care immediately after Hurricane Katrina were horrendous, and it is difficult to judge retrospectively some of the care provided under those awful circumstances. We also know that in our criminal justice system, defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty. A fundamental principle of the ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses is that the interests of the patient are paramount. All nurses should act to protect the best interests of their patients.
ANA acknowledges that nurses are individually accountable and responsible for their actions. All nurses should use the Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements (2001) as a foundational document for guiding their decisions. The Code of Ethics for Nurses is a succinct statement of the ethical obligations and duties for every registered nurse. It is what gives each of us honor and respect, dignity and authority, and what serves as the solid foundation from which we are all empowered to support our nation's health care system.
It is also the profession's non-negotiable ethical standard, and it stands as an expression of nursing's own understanding of its commitment to society. Updated in 2001, the Code of Ethics for Nurses contains nine major provisions that reflect the issues facing nurses in the nation's current health care environment, as well as their unchanging mission to provide quality care.
Additionally, ANA strongly encourages all nurses to have in hand our other foundational documents which set the standards for the nursing profession - standards that are excellent tools for nurse empowerment. As the keystone of the ANA standards, Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice delineates the professional responsibilities for all practicing registered nurses, regardless of setting. It discusses the scope of all nursing practice and presents a set of professional clinical practice and performance standards. It also offers a framework by which specialty organizations and ANA can co-develop practice standards and guidelines.
Lastly, Nursing's Social Policy Statement defines nursing, identifies the scope of its practice, its relationship with society, its contributions to health care and its obligation to the public.
ANA encourages all nurses to participate in the discussion about the adaptations of the standards of nursing practice necessitated during a disaster, such as Katrina. As a result, ANA is currently commissioning a major in-depth review of altered standards of care and potential adaptations of nursing practice during disasters. A panel of experts will be convened to guide policy development in this area. ANA has determined that the focus of the inaugural 2007 ANA Quadrennial Policy Conference, "Nursing Care in Life, Death and Disaster"scheduled for June 20-22, 2007 in Atlanta, Georgia will be on altered standards of care during a disaster.

Hunters for The Hungry Reports Abundant Donations
AUSTIN, Texas — The results are in. Hunters for the Hungry had another banner season! Thanks to the generosity of participating meat processors and hunters throughout the state, 175,927 pounds of game meat was donated to over 90 food assistance providers to feed the hungry during the 2006–2007 hunting season.
Who received the meat? A single mother of four children in Boerne who had to quit her job due to illness. A grandmother raising three grandchildren by herself in Llano. Several families in Abilene who lost their homes to fire. A retired couple in Kerrville who have spent most of their income on medications. A family of seven in Clute whose income came to a halt due to an on-the-job injury. Two elderly sisters in Thorndale — one blind and one confined to a wheelchair. These are but a few of the stories reported from the agencies that received donations this year.
Thousands of people in need throughout the state receive Hunters for the Hungry donations through local food assistance providers. For many agencies, the meat donated through the Hunters for the Hungry program is the only meat they receive and may be the only meat the families they serve will see on their tables all year. On behalf of the agencies and the families who received meat this year, the Texas Association of Community Action Agencies, Inc., administrator of the Hunters for the Hungry program, conveys their gratitude and appreciation to all of the hunters and meat processors who participated.
During hunting season, hunters can take legally harvested deer to participating meat processors, who will process and package the meat for a nominal fee to cover basic costs. Meat processors make arrangements with local food assistance agencies to distribute the meat to people in the community who need food.
Be part of the solution to hunger. For more information about the program or how you can support Hunters for the Hungry, visit www.tacaa.org/hunters.htm or call toll-free during business hours Monday–Friday at (800) 992-9767, extension 506. A current list of participating meat processors for the 2007–2008 hunting season will be available in September.

Britain's astonishing summer of sport come to a colourful and emotional climax as hundreds of Olympic and Paralympic athletes paraded through the capital to finally bring the curtain down on London 2012.
Tens of thousands of spectators lined the streets as the procession wound its way through a sea of Union Jacks to Buckingham Palace.
Up to 700 British Olympic and Paralympic athletes, including more than 90% of the medal winners, took part in the parade.
The athletes packed onto 21 floats which started in the heart of the City of London and ended in the Mall.
Olympic gold medallists Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis, Sir Chris Hoy and Ben Ainslie were part of the parade, as were Paralympic champions Ellie Simmonds and Sarah Storey.
The parade started at Mansion House and the route went via St Paul's Cathedral to Trafalgar Square down to the Queen Victoria Memorial.
State trumpeters from the Life Guards of the Household Division provided an opening fanfare at the start of the parade, which was led by a carnival group with drummers and musicians led by two giant lion heads.
At the parade's finale, The Band of the Coldstream Guards was to provide musical accompaniment, with Scottish singer Amy MacDonald performing 'Pride' before Welsh lyric mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins singing the national anthem.
A fly-past by a British Airways jet and the Red Arrows was due at the end of the parade finale.
Up 9,000 of those who worked as volunteers during the Games provided the crowd in the Mall after being allocated tickets via a ballot.

Evolution Hoax
… when everything in the heavens and Earth, willingly or unwillingly, submits to Him and to Him you will be returned... (Surah Al 'Imran, 83)
Let there be a community among you who call to the good, and enjoin the right, and forbid the wrong. They are the ones who have success. (Surah Al 'Imran, 104)
Age: 100 million years old
Size: 26 millimeters (1 in) across pectoral fins, 120 millimeters (4.7 in) in length; matrix: 180 millimeters (7 in) by 90 millimeters (3.5 in)
Location: Haqil, Lebanon
Period: Middle Cretaceous, Cenomanian
Beforehand we certainly used to call on Him because He is the All-Good , the Most Merciful. ( Surat at-Tur, 28)
He created man from a drop of sperm, and yet he is an open challenger! And He created livestock. There is warmth for you in them and various uses, and some of them you eat. And there is beauty in them for you in the evening when you bring them home, and in the morning when you drive them out to graze. They carry your loads to lands you would never reach, except with great difficulty. Your Lord is All-Gentle, Most Merciful. And horses, mules, and donkeys both to ride and for adornment. And He creates other things you do not know. The Way should lead to Allah, but there are those who deviate from it. If He had willed, He could have guided every one of you. He sends down water from the sky, from which you drink and from which come the shrubs among which you graze your herds. And by it He makes crops grow for you, as well as olives, dates, grapes, and fruit of every kind. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who reflect. He has made night and day subservient to you, and the Sun and Moon and stars, all of which are subject to His command. There are certainly Signs in that for people who use their intellect. And also the things of varying colors He has created for you in Earth. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who pay heed. He made the sea subservient to you so that you can eat fresh meat from it and bring out from it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships cleaving through it so that you can seek His bounty, and so that hopefully you will show thanks. He cast firmly embedded mountains on the ground so it would not move under you, and rivers and pathways so that hopefully you would be guided, and landmarks. And they are guided by the stars. ( Surat an-Nahl, 4-16)
Is He Who creates like him who does not create? So will you not pay heed? If you tried to number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. ( Surat an-Nahl, 17-18)
What He Said
Mardin Kanal 47, July 28-2008
Adnan Oktar: Nothing will happen to Turkey. TURKEY WILL BE THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THE BALKANS, THE ISLAMIC WORLD AND THE TURKIC WORLD. IT WILL BE THE LEADING COUNTRY. The Turkish-Islamic Union will be founded. Turkey will be the leader of the Turkish-Islamic Union.
Azerbaijan Gazete 525, August 27-2008
Adnan Oktar: Turkey is truly a model country for the Islamic world. It has an excellent understanding and excellent application of Turkish nationalism, has an excellent understanding and application of Islam and also has assimilated laicism in a very good way. All Islamic countries accept that our country best applies and lives by Islam. In other words, Turkey is scrupulous when it comes to cleanliness, true understanding, true application and true taqwa [fear and respect of Allah]. This may be the influence of Ottoman scholars as it is a legacy from Ottoman times. Allah gives rise to this excellence, for which reason I THINK THAT TURKEY IS THE COUNTRY BEST SUITED TO LEADERSHIP OF THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC WORLD.
Azerbaijan Halk Gazetesi, October 6-2008
Adnan Oktar: If one were to ask the peoples of the Caucasus, under which country's flag and leadership do you wish to unite? They will say they like Turkey very much. THEY WILL SAY THEY WANT the Turkish state to be their elder brother, their guide, to unite, as separate nation states, with each state free and independent in domestic terms, but WITH TURKEY AS ELDER BROTHER AND SPIRITUAL LEADER.
Mavi Karadeniz TV, December 31-2008
Adnan Oktar: Yes, yes, TURKEY MUST ABSOLUTELY BE THE LEADER. Because it is a perfect country in terms of experience, and structure and moral structure, Turkey and the Turks. Since it carries the ideal leadership qualities, Turkey must be the leader. Because all the Turkish states we talk to share the same opinion. We are in touch with all Islamic countries, too. They also hold the same view, and nobody is saying "no" now. All we need to do is make it a reality right away.
What Happened
Radikal, February 1-2009
However, his outburst at Davos has raised Tayyip Erdoğan and Turkey to an entirely new place in the Middle East equation because of his title of Prime Minister of the Turkish Republic." And the Middle East equation has thus changed. There are three main reasons for this: 1. Since it is Turkey that has acted and "changed tack" on the political floor. Turkey is no ordinary country. It is the main heir of a state that ruled an area comprising Israel and Palestine, Syria and Lebanon, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt for 400 years. It is 100 years since these countries were under Ottoman rule. Some of them, Israel in particular, did not even have names 100 years ago, let alone their present-day borders. But such a Turkey remains and, what is more, as a member of NATO and participant member of the EU. Its attitude toward Israel over the rivers of blood in Gaza in 2009 has led to its sudden assumption of the "moral leadership" in the Arab and Muslim world. In doing this, Turkey is making use of "Western values" rather than any "religious identity," AND THUS ASSUMING THE "MORAL LEADERSHIP" WHETHER IT WISHES TO OR NOT, forcing the Middle East equation to change. (It may take some time for America and the players in the Middle East to grasp and digest this.)
Radikal, February 10-2009
From Munich to Baku: 360 degrees in foreign policy with Babacan...
IN THE NEAR FUTURE, TURKEY WILL BE THE "FOCAL POINT" IN INTERNATIONAL POLICY AND INTERNATIONAL BALANCES. We saw the clues to this at Munich. The Caucasian dimension of Turkish foreign policy may soon give birth to interesting developments... There is no need to chase anyone else. They are coming and will come to you.
Radikal, February 11-2009
Will Turkey assume a "central role" in the Middle East?
International balances, the point reached by the region and new dynamics PUSH TURKEY FORWARD AS A "CENTER OF GRAVITY" "WITH A POSITIVE ROLE TO PLAY" IN THE MIDDLE EAST

I wrote this blog having had a very early start to lead my troops in launching Operation Christmas Crackdown targeting those who cause most harm to our communities.
I must admit at 5am on Monday morning as I was de-icing my car I was thinking if I've got to get up this early those who cause misery to others can have an early wake up call too! More than 40 officers took part in the day, including two rookie cops with both the Chief Constable and Deputy Chief Constable joining us on the raids!
Anyway there was a real buzz around the nick with 10 people locked up, stolen property recovered and illegal drugs seized.
Hopefully you may have also seen my officers as you travelled to work or school denying criminals the use of the roads.
Local policing officers have also been out and about throughout the day making our city, towns and villages feel that bit safer.
December is probably the busiest month for policing as together with the Safer Roads Partnership we also running our annual Drink Drive campaign.
We are already into double figures in terms of the people arrested across South Worcestershire so please make sure you are not the next one to put someone in danger and lose your licence! There's no rest for the wicked and this weekend sees the launch of Operation Christmas Presence. Recognising that most people will be in good spirits and simply wanting to have a good time this operation seeks to put more police officers on the streets at key times and at specific locations in order to keep people safe.
Finally, having finally dragged myself into the 21st century, I am looking to host only the second webchat West Mercia Police later today between 7pm and 8pm here. I am always encouraging my officers to find new and creative ways to engage with the public.
I am particularly keen to communicate with young people. I recognise that many people prefer to use the internet and social networking to communicate.
The webchat provides another way hearing what the public have to say about policing With all this going on, it's no wonder I haven't done my Christmas shopping yet!
So before I head for the shops may I take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support and I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
