Pharmacy Technicians are registered with the Texas State Board of Pharmacy. Responsibility in a pharmacy is to provide technical services that do not necessarily require professional judgment regarding preparing and distributing drugs but includes working under the direct supervision of a pharmacist.
Pharmacy technicians work in clean, organized, well-lighted, and well-ventilated areas. Most of their workday is spent on their feet. They may be required to lift heavy boxes or to use stepladders to retrieve supplies from high shelves.
Technicians work the same hours that pharmacists work. These may include evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays, particularly in facilities, such as hospitals and retail pharmacies, that are open 24 hours a day. There are many opportunities for part-time work in both retail and hospital settings.
Cisco College offers a 31-semester hour certificate program for pharmacy technicians, which is designed to be completed in one academic year. Pharmacy technician students must be registered with the TSBP as a pharmacy technician student, which requires a background check. After successful completion of the required curriculum, students earn a certificate and are eligible to take the national certification exam from the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board.

Defence trumps offence in scoreless tie
Stalemate between Paul Kane and Sturgeon in high school men's rugby
Saturday, May 03, 2014 06:00 am
Pirates Rugby Club � In a match both teams refused to lose, the Paul Kane Blues and Sturgeon Spirits played their hearts out in a scoreless draw in Wednesday�s confrontation in metro Edmonton division one men�s rugby.
The pool B tussle also kicked off the league fixtures for the provincial contenders.
�It was a hard-fought battle. Both teams played well,� said Sturgeon captain Jacob Kaup.
Paul Kane hooker Nathan Yue agreed.
�It was definitely a forward type of game,� Yue said. �We knew it was going to be a hard game right off the bat because Sturgeon�s got some real solid players and good athletes. Unfortunately we couldn�t grab the win but we had a blast.�
Opportunities for tries were in short supply with the majority of the contest staged between the 22-metre lines.
�Paul Kane had good tackling today and we couldn�t break the line. They played a good game,� said Kaup, a Grade 12 scrum-half.
�For us it was just a series of mistakes in the breakdown,� Yue added. �We kind of got a little too caught up doing fancy plays but if we kept it simple we might have been able to sneak a try in.�
There were plenty of positives for both sides despite the lack of points.
�Our forwards played pretty good and our backs were pretty good too. It was a good game by everybody, we just couldn�t get the W,� Kaup said.
�As a team we were sticking our tackles,� Yue noted. �Our backs also did a great job at spreading out. A lot of times we tend to stay bunched in but we knew coming into the game that we would need to have all of our guys spread out because Sturgeon likes to spin it out and get it wide.�
Back and forth
In the first quarter Paul Kane pressured Sturgeon early but the Spirits eventually reversed their field position with a slow and methodical drive that put the Blues on their back foot for a long time.
The quarter ended with Sturgeon fumbling the ball away deep in Paul Kane territory and a kick for touch by the Blues on a penalty to the Spirits resulted in a lineout ball outside the 22-metre line.
Three minutes into the second quarter Logan Petty of Sturgeon was carded for a sin-bin infraction and with the man advantage Paul Kane pushed the Spirits back towards their try line with a series of pick-and-go plays.
Before the sin-bin penalty expired, and Paul Kane pushing forward, Graeme Loerke scrambled towards the five-metre line before the Spirits stuck him into the pitch. Sturgeon would later relieve the pressure with Kaup�s kick for touch after a Sturgeon scrum.
With Sturgeon at full strength Paul Kane captain Austen McDonald blocked a kick from in front of the try line by Chad Brenneis but despite a valiant effort the Grade 12 eight-man was unable to track the ball down before it bounced out of the try area with three minutes left until halftime.
In the third quarter a combination of sloppy ball handling and penalties in scoring range left Paul Kane spinning its wheels. Darek Skinner of Sturgeon also stole a lineout ball outside the 22 to briefly regain possession and a few minutes later a run by Kaup gave the Spirits some breathing room.
Before quarter time a series of penalties in Sturgeon�s end prevented Paul Kane from driving closer to the try line.
Sturgeon ramped up its attack to start the fourth quarter as Paul Kane scrambled to dig in defensively. The breaks also went Paul Kane�s way with a couple of penalties to Sturgeon in prime field position.
The back-and-forth affair continued with a rare breakthrough by Paul Kane to split Sturgeon�s defensive line but Connor McIntyre was wrestled to the pitch from behind a few feet away from the try line. Sturgeon was then awarded the ball on a penalty.
The Spirits would go on to rattle off some lengthy runs before the final whistle as Paul Kane pulled off some clutch tackles to prevent the Spirits from going the distance.
�It was a real close game. Both teams played tough,� said Yue, a Grade 12 battering ram into contact.
Winning ways
Sturgeon and Paul Kane were coming off winning performances at the Lynn Davies pre-season tournament last weekend in Sherwood Park. Sturgeon won the championship by beating Central Memorial 26-5 and Paul Kane defeated Bowness in the B final after kicking off the tournament with a loss to W.P. Wagner.
In league play Sturgeon is gunning for its third championship in four years after winning back-to-back premier (now division one) titles in 2011 and 2012. The team�s only loss last year was to the St. Francis Xavier Rams in the final.
�We hope to make it to the final and continue on our legacy of being a good team for sure,� said Kaup, 18, a third-year rugby player and standout guard for the 2014 3A provincial basketball consolation champions.
Yue, 17, believes Paul Kane�s veteran lineup will benefit from an injection of young talent after last year�s early playoff exit in premier.
�We have a lot of experienced guys but with so many of our backs injured its really a good opportunity for our first years and our newer guys to step up to the plate,� said Yue, a key cog for the undefeated U17 St. Albert juniors last year in the Edmonton Rugby Union.
Next week Sturgeon plays the Ross Sheppard Thunderbirds (1-0) on Wednesday and Paul Kane tackles the J. Percy Page Panthers (0-1). Game times are 4:45 p.m. at Ellerslie Rugby Park.

SAINT LEO STARTERS: Newcomb (CF), Vitale (3B), Twitty (RF), Moses (LF), Revell (1B), Brnovich (DH), Rawdow (2B), Torres (C), Perez (SS), Teasley (P)
ROLLINS STARTERS: Persky (CF), Rivera (C), Lattanzi (1B), Hendricks (DH), Betcherman (2B), Mayfield (LF), Kelly (3B), Valelly (RF), Okazaki (SS), Smith (P)
AT A GLANCE: Rollins (20-18, 7-10 SSC) took game one of today's doubleheader by a score of 7-4. Saint Leo (29-13, 9-8 SSC) held a 1-0 lead early but the Lions were unable to overcome the Tars' fourth inning in which they rallied for five runs.
- Saint Leo struck first with a single run in the third inning when Daniel Torres reached on a base hit and came home on an RBI single from Chris Newcomb.
- The Tars responded an inning and a half later by putting up a five-spot on the scoreboard after compiling six hits. Two-RBI hits from both Zach Persky and Lucas Valelly gave Rollins a 5-1 lead heading into the fifth.
- Trailing by four runs entering the sixth inning, Saint Leo pushed across three runs in the inning. A double from Taed Moses and consecutive fielding errors by the Rollins' infield put the Lions in prime position to get a few runs back. Daniel Torres and Taylor Perez then came through with back to back RBI base hits to make it a 5-4 game.
- The next half inning the Tars extended their lead back to two runs when a safety squeeze was executed right after Charles Neely relieved starter Rick Teasley.
- Teasley went 5.1 innings on the hill—allowing six runs while striking out a pair of Tars' batters.
- Moses finished the day 2-for-4 at the plate with a double.
- Going 2-for-3 in game one was Torres who also drove in a run.
FINAL—Game 2: Saint Leo 7, Rollins 7 – (Winter Park, Fla. – Alfond Stadium)
SAINT LEO STARTERS: Newcomb (CF), Vitale (3B), Twitty (RF), Moses (LF), Revell (1B), Brnovich (DH), Rawdow (2B), Torres (C), Perez (SS), Williams (P)
ROLLINS STARTERS: Persky (CF), Rivera (C), Lattanzi (1B), Hendricks (DH), Betcherman (2B), Mayfield (LF), Kelly (3B), Valelly (RF), Okazaki (SS), Smith (P)
AT A GLANCE: The back and forth game between Rollins (21-18-1, 7-10-1 SSC) and Saint Leo (29-13-1, 9-8-1 SSC) ended in a 7-7 tie after seven complete innings. The Lions rallied in the sixth to take the lead but Rollins tied it up in the bottom half of the inning to force the eventual tie.
- The Tars came out of the gates swinging, scoring five runs in the first inning—four of which came before the Lions recorded an out.
- The next half inning saw the Lions nearly erase the deficit as they scored four runs on five hits in the inning. The four runs came on RBI hits from Frank Rawdow, Taylor Perez, and Chris Newcomb.
- After the Lions cut the Tars' lead to one, Rollins tacked on their sixth run of the game in the bottom of the second when Zach Persky scored on an RBI single from Brian Lattanzi.
- In the top of the fifth, trailing by two, Brnovich led off with a walk, and after a single from Torres, Perez grounded out to shortstop to score Brnovich and cut the Lions' deficit to one, 6-5.
- In the sixth inning the Lions got started by both Twitty and Moses being hit by pitches. After a passed ball allowed both runners to advance, a wild pitch went to the back stop to score Twitty and tie the game. Michael Revell then stepped to the plate and drilled a fastball into right field that plated Moses and gave the Lions a 7-6 lead.
- The game was tied in the next half inning though when Evan Riveria reached base on a two-out base hit and advanced all the way to third base on a throwing error. Brian Lattanzi then singled to right field to tie the game, 7-7.
- Entering the first extra inning, play was stopped as the rain began to fall heavily. After about an hour delay, it was decided that the game would end in a 7-7 tie.
- Torres continued his impressive day at the plate—going 3-for-4 in game three. For the day Torres finished 5-for-7.
- Brnovich went 2-for-3 at the dish.
- Contributing two RBI each was Newcomb and Perez
- Tossing 4.2 innings while not allowing an earned run was Adam Albers. Albers struck out five while giving up just five hits
Next up for the Lions is a three-game weekend home series with the Lynn University Fighting Knights. The first game of the series is slated for 7:00 p.m. on Saturday night and the doubleheader on Sunday is set for 1:00 p.m.

This post is a dispatch from my real-life experience as an impromtu educator with a group of rising high school seniors on a recent Saturday morning. I'll be the first one to admit that teens can be a tough crowd, especially on Saturday mornings! That said, working with these teens was an incredible opportunity for me to learn and grow as a prevention educator while exercising my skills as a healthy sexuality [1] ally. These tips are good to keep in mind whenever youth are your audience. If you've got a tip or question to share, let us know in the comments!
1. Be accurate. There's a lot of misinformation out there and chances are that some of it has reached the youth you are speaking with. It's important to provide youth with medically-accurate information in an accessible voice and to empower them to make their own decisions. As an individual, it's expected that you have some personal values around sex and sexuality; it's a time for you to leave these at the door. It's ok to share an opinion, but be sure to label it as your own perspective and allow room for others to disagree.

Welcome to our live blog on the local elections
Through the day, we'll be providing results from the local elections held yesterday in England, Scotland and Wales, with additional comment from the FT's political reporting and commentary team as well as pulling in analysis and illumination from wherever we find it on the web.
The results are still coming in, but with the national pattern now becoming clear we're going to put this blog on pause, at least until we get some sense of what is going to happen in the contest for London mayor. Here are the 11am headlines:
- Labour has done very well across England, winning an estimated 39 per cent share of the vote, compared to 31 for the Tories and 16 for the Lib Dems.
- So far, Labour has won 22 new councils and 470 new councillors. The councils are spread across England, including Carlisle, Birmingham and Southampton.
- Nick Clegg and William Hague have both re-pledged their commitment to the coalition, amid sniping from the Tory benches that the party needs to move to the right.
- Four cities – Manchester, Nottingham, Bradford and Coventry have all voted no to a directly elected mayor. Birmingham is predicted to go the same way.
- Boris Johnson is pulling ahead in early counting for London mayor. Brian Paddick, the Lib Dem, is being pushed for third place by Jenny Jones, the green, and Siobhan Benita, the independent.

College scholarship signee
Who: Gigi Meyer
High school: Buchholz
Sport: Volleyball
Position: Setter
Height: 5-foot-6
2010 regular-season statistics: 362 service points (team leader), 56 aces, 171 digs, 69 kills, 826 assists (area leader), 10 blocks
College chosen: Florida Gulf Coast University, Fort Myers
Other schools considered: None
Quotables: "The day I committed to Florida Gulf Coast was the day after I first visited the school. There is a lake there near campus and I am a big wakeboarder! But mostly because I trust the great coaching staff. Growing up having a dad (UF football coach Urban Meyer) involved so heavily in sports was a big plus. I always seemed to be a little better athletically than other girls so my dad always made sure I had a challenge and I thank him for that. I would like to thank my mom, Shelley Meyer, my team and all of my coaches. Coach (Jeff) Reavis' contribution to my success is difficult to put into words right now." — Gigi Meyer
"Gigi started out playing all boys sports about eight or nine years ago. She would wait for me to come home from work with a cap on, ready to play catch. Now, (Gigi) is part of a great Buchholz team that I think could go a long way (in the playoffs). She is going to have a great life, with or without volleyball, and as for right now, (FGCU) is a better place now that it will have Gigi Meyer." — Urban Meyer
"(FGCU coach Dave Nichols) knows that she is going to be able to step in and run the team's offense beginning with day one." — Jeff Reavis

David Halls, Salisbury Cathedral's Director of Music, gives the second recital in this year's organ recital series on the Cathedral's Famous Father Willis organ on Wednesday, April 30, at 7.30pm.
He will be performing the exciting programme he recently recorded with Priory Records on the organ at St Wilfrid's Church, Harrogate, where he had been Assistant Organist for a few years before attending university. It includes works by English, French, German and Spanish composers dating from the 17th century through to the present day.
The recital opens with Marc-Antoine Charpentier's catchy Prelude to his setting of the Te Deum – used for many years as the opening music for the Eurovision Song Contest! - this arrangement showcases the organ's thrilling 8 foot Tuba stop. It's followed by Bach's magnificent Prelude and Fugue in B minor BWV 544.
Two pieces by the little known English composer Ernest Farrar feature, Elegy and A Wedding Piece Op 18. Hear Josef Rheinberger's turbulent Sonata No. 6 Op. 119 in E flat minor and Jacques Charpentier's Prelude L'Ange à la Trompette, a 9-minute toccata-like work.
David is also to play Jesús Guridi's little known but powerful Triptico del Buen Pastor (Triptych of the Good Shepherd) which won first prize in the competition organised for the dedication of the organ in the cathedral at San Sebastián.
The recital is brought to an end with David Halls' March Sound the Trumpet written in 2010, very much in the English tradition and providing another chance for the 8 foot Willis Solo Tuba to be heard.
David Halls said: "I'd sum up my choice of music with one word; variety. I always prefer recitals and CDs which give the performer the chance to explore different styles of music and also to reveal some of the organ's more unusual sounds.
"There is also a vague thread of trumpets going through some of the pieces as both St Wilfrid's Church and Salisbury Cathedral contain wonderful solo reeds. Most importantly, I hope there is something for everyone to enjoy!"
Tickets, price £8, are available online from www.salisburycathedral.org.uk and at the door.
Salisbury Cathedral Organ Recital series presents a recital once a month from April to October on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm. See the website for details.

Given the popularity of the containers, further investment in the telco/cable industry is needed to transition existing VM-based solutions to containerized cloud native deployments. The networking architecture of the solution isolates the network traffic into different network planes (e.g., management, control, and media). This naturally makes support for multiple interfaces in container orchestration engines an indispensable requirement.

PHILADELPHIA - The University of Pennsylvania field hockey lost for the first time at the new Vagelos Field on Wednesday afternoon, as the Lafayette Leopards were aggressive from the outset and walked away with a 4-0 victory.
Penn was attempting to go 7-1 for the first time in program history, but instead moves to 6-2 on the season. The Leopards are now 4-6, with four of the losses coming against ranked teams.
It took Lafayette all of 20 seconds to get on the board Wednesday afternoon. Off the opening faceoff, Haley Keenan ran the ball down the left wing, drove it into the circle, and fed the ball in front where Kristin Heaney was waiting ahead of a Penn defender. Heaney pushed the ball past Carly Sokach's right pad, then backhanded it into the open goal.
Heaney did it herself midway through the period, driving into the circle from the top and firing a shot past Sokach's right pad inside the far post.
The second goal seemed to wake up the Quakers. They peppered Lafayette goalie Jessica Deutsch with several corners (7) and shots (9) the rest of the stanza, with no luck as Deutsch had six first-half saves.
It was Lafayette that got things rolling to start the second half, however, and the Leopards broke through again just six minutes in. Off a corner, Lafayette's initial shot was stopped by Sokach, but the rebound popped back out to Kelsey Gula. She calmly fed Keenan, who was behind Sokach, and Keenan easily deposited it into the empty goal.
Lafayette closed the scoring with 3:06 left off another short corner. This time Kirby Szalkowski left Ami Turner's corner for Jenna Seybert, who rifled a shot past Sokach's right side.
Lafayette outshot Penn, 18-11, and forced Sokach-- the reigning Ivy League Player of the Week-- to make 11 saves. At the other end, Deutsch ended with six stops and the Leopards also had a defensive save. Jasmine Cole was Penn's main offensive weapon, with seven shots.
Penn remains at home for this weekend's game; the Quakers host Ivy League rival Dartmouth on Sunday at 11 a.m. on Ellen Vagelos Field.

Art aficionados, mark your calendars for the Arizona Watercolor Association's Fall 2012 Membership Exhibition where you'll have the chance to view 60 paintings in a one-of-a-kind showroom in Scottsdale, the Home & Design Idea Center (HDIC).
The Fall 2012 Membership Exhibition opens on Monday, October 1 and will be available to view through October 26.
"Eighty-six AWA artists submitted 212 amazing paintings," says Jeremy Jones, AWA president, "so it was quite a job for our juror to just select 60 for this show and its prestigious setting."
The Juror for the exhibition is Carl Purcell, who once taught painting and drawing at Snow College in Utah for 30 years, and now paints on his free time and teaches workshops. The author of "Painting with your Artist's Brain" and featured in The Artists Magazine and Splash 1 publications, Purcell is also a signature member of the National Watercolor Society (NWS) and helped jury its 2009 National Show.
Having spent many hours closely inspecting each submitted image, Purcell says that the Fall 2012 Membership Exhibition will have a lot of diversity. "The AWA can be proud of the quality of art being produced by its members," Purcell adds.
Many of the artists featured at the Fall 2012 Membership Exhibition are also teachers who hold regular workshops. And on Thursday, October 18 from 5:30-7 p.m., a reception will be held at HDIC to offer attendees the opportunity to meet said artists. Sponsored by Arizona Art Supply, the reception will precede the AWA Artist Awards Ceremony, which will be held from 7-7:30 p.m. Both events will be held at HDIC, which boasts more than 40,000 square feet of showroom space, housing a collection of more than 200 companies offering home-related products and services.
Founded in 1960 by professional watercolor artists and instructors, the AWA hosts a National Watercolor Exhibition and two Membership Exhibitions, all juried by nationally acclaimed artists. With more than 300 members representing 16 states and more than 62 communities, the AWA is also a member of the Arizona Art Alliance.

Wiltshire Air Ambulance received about £12,000 on Monday, from a business which raised funds for it throughout 2012.
Representatives from Trow-bridge-based education supplier The Consortium gave the donation to the air ambulance service at Devizes police headquarters.
The firm's 250 staff organised raffles, quiz nights and golf events in aid of the charity.
Claire Kelly, the air ambulance's head of charity services, said: "We are 100 per cent community funded and this amount raised will help us fund the air ambulance for around a week. We would like to say a big thank you to all at The Consortium."
The firm raised £4,000 of the total from the White Horse Challenge last summer, walking around all Wiltshire's famous chalk monuments.

Gamblin FastMatte Alkyd Oil Colours are artists' oil quality paints with a rapid drying time. The drying time of Gamblin FastMatte oil is dependent on the thickness of the paint layers used, but thin layers will be touch-dry and ready to be painted over in 24-hours. The consistent drying rate of FastMatte colours means that a painter can return to an artwork with a dry surface the following day. This quality, achieved by the paint's alkyd resin-based binder, along with the matte finish and the ground-like tooth of the paint, makes FastMatte an ideal choice for under painting.
FastMatte colours are compatible with Gamblin painting mediums and traditional oil colours. When thinning FastMatte colours use equal parts of Galkyd and Gamsol. This mixture, if used in moderation, will thin colours without slowing dry-times or significantly increasing gloss. Gamvar Picture Varnish may be applied to saturate colours and impart a uniform satin or gloss surface to the finished work.

Baghdat TV, 2 March 2008
Adnan Oktar: Sun rises from where it sets in. And it sets in where it rises from. This is a general rule. Because the Sun was set here, it will rise from here. This is my first belief. My secondary and main belief is that, according to the hadiths, the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will occur in Istanbul. There are so many hadiths implying this fact. It is referred as Constantiniya. There are also too many hadiths referring that Turks will take charge in the subject. There are too many hadiths relating that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will emerge within Turks. When we look at from the perspective of history, it appears so. IT ALSO HOLDS TRUE FOR SOCIAL CONDITIONS. AND FROM VIEWPOINT OF THE GENERAL HISTORY,IT IS SEEN THAT TURKEY IS THE NATURAL LEADER. No other country is willing to take the leadership except for Turkey. THAT IS TO SAY, THE MOST IDEAL, AND THE MOST WIDELY ACCEPTED IDEA IS THE LEADERSHIP OF TURKEY. Whoever we ask, to any country, including Arab countries, they want Turkey's leadership. When we ask Turkic states, they also want Turkey's leadership. There is no country who wants the leadership of any country other than Turkey.
Ekin TV, 29 January 2009
Adnan Oktar: Because there is experience from the Ottoman Empire and experience of state in Turkey. This is something everyone agrees, and we have a very well educated work force. We have very elite politicians and leaders. Turkey is easily strong enough to succeed in this. Egypt wants it. Israel said so just the other day. They say: You managed the region with ten privates and a sergeant and you had no problems. But we cannot manage it with a whole army there, and we are also suffering hardships ourselves. We are also suffering, we are also uneasy.THAT MEANS THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR THE SONS OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, FOR THE HEROIC TURKISH NATION. TURKISH TROOPS ARE WELCOMED AND APPLAUDED WITH GREAT AFFECTION WHEREVER THEY GO.

Al-Jumuah Magazine"s focus is to provide Islamic knowledge based on the Qur"an and Sunnah for both Muslims and non-Muslims. Harun Yahya"s articles, which are regularly published in this magazine, one of the most popular Islamic magazines in the USA, give an insight into science and faith related issues with quotes from the Qur"an and the Hadith of the Prophet. One article published in this magazine titled "Communicating Wonders of Allah"s Creation" reads:
It is exceedingly important that true believers should be on their guard against trends of thought that oppose Allah and religion. The duty of a Muslim in the face of Darwinism is to destroy that great lie and to proclaim the truth of creation.
When we look at the life of Allah"s Messenger, in whom there is "an excellent model for believers" (Surat al-Ahzab: 21), we see that he often thought about the glory of Allah"s creation and shared his contemplations with the believers around him. We learn from ahadiths of Allah"s Messenger (saas) that he "stood up amongst the believers for a long period and informed them about the beginning of creation" (Sahih Bukhari, Book 54, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 414)
So, a great and important responsibility falls to people of good conscience to wage a scientific fight and make a great effort to do away with the Darwinist, materialist thought that opposes the Qur"an.

FLOWER stallholder Steve Fitzpatrick has handed over the reins of Halesowen Chamber of Trade after 18 years as chairman.
Mr Fitzpatrick stepped down at last week's annual meeting, making way for office supplies boss Wayne Edwards to take over at the helm.
But the 60-year-old, who has run the Victorian Flower Stall outside the Cornbow Shopping Centre for 28 years, will continue in the roll of vice chairman.
Mr Fitzpatrick joined the chamber 24 years ago and four years later became chairman, a post he has held ever since apart from a period of a couple of years.
He said highlights during his chairmanship included the chamber taking over the Christmas lights 18 years ago when they fell victim to Dudley Council cuts and helping stave off further expansion of Merry Hill to protect town centres including Halesowen.
Mr Fitzpatrick added: "I have enjoyed my time as chairman. The chamber has been involved in lots of events to promote the town and I hope it goes from strength to strength.
"We all work together, but with someone new at the helm they'll bring in fresh ideas."
Mr Edwards, who runs Less 4 Office Supplies and print consumables shop Less 4 Ink in Hagley Street, thanked Mr Fitzpatrick for his hard work, describing his length of time as chairman as an "astonishing achievement".
His priority as chairman will be to work with traders on ways of increasing the number of visitors to the town centre and is currently working on a Keep it Local – Buy Local scheme which he plans to launch in the near future.
The 48-year-old, who is also a member of Halesowen and Rowley Regis Rotary Club said: "I am looking for ways to motivate traders to think about how we can increase footfall in the town."

Compare great Isuzu Fan Belt prices in Southall with Who Can Fix My Car.
Fantastic! Exactly what I was expecting. Excellent service. Thank you
Great service, thoroughly recommend and will be going back
Can't fault them, they were very helpful, put up with me calling all the time, always polite and the price was very good especially with all the work involved, and not only that but even tho I gave them the go ahead to replace parts, they checked and as they didn't need doing they didn't do them :) to top it all off they kept the parts they changed for me to see after! All in all an excellent garage and will defiantly use them next time I need work doing
After i got a call back from Tom and amazing service was done(car collection and delivery) i can say only one big THANK YOU. service was very quick.... i ask my exaust to be checked as well so i got a call and i get an explanation about what causing noise and how much will cost. No hidden fees.. amazing and HONEST people. Big pleasure to find a garage where people want to care about your car. Highly recommended and i am back next week there for another job!
I was called by Tom from the garage on Sunday evening which was a surprise. He was very helpful as I also wanted a service and brake pads renewed. My car was booked in for the following Thursday and they had the car for 5 days. All work was completed to my satisfaction and i was also shown the old parts. All in all a good service from VPR and I would recommend them highly. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Initial call gave quote for just a clutch plus extra if flywheel required. On inspection found flywheel okay but needed additional oil seal for crank shaft for a small extra cost. repaired quickly and efficiently by a friendly knowledgable team. Although i had to travel it was well worth it. Definitley five star service. Recommended without reservation
Just a big thank you to the guys at VRS. Vehicle was diagnosed and repaired with great communication throughout the entire process. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reputable garage. Will definitely do business with them again (although I would prefer not to have any further breakdowns). Just a big thank you again.
Fantastic job, quicker than I was expecting and without a hitch. Car runs better than when I bought it. Highly recommended
Friendly and efficient, and I liked the fact that they talked me through things. They didn't just fix the clutch but gave me information about how to put the oil in etc and how to look after my car which I really appreciated. They ccarried out the work promptly and were very professional. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.
Cam belt and water pump fitted.great job done would use again
Excellent and friendly service, did a quick turnaround on the vehicle and at a great price. Very highly recommended.
I am very upset with this mechanic, my husband notice the underneath of my car had been damage by him jacking the car in the wrong spot. He did come back to have a look, it wasn't there before only when he left we see it. There is no jacking point to my A2 you have to be very careful. I have learnt from this and will not be using them again terrible.
Good friendly reliable service
Apprehensive from previous reviews but gave the mechanic a chance. He explained someone else done those jobs on his behalf. He was first to answer my request, came at the time requested and he replaced battery in good time and got the car working plus gave some advice should the problem arise again.
My family and I were extremely disappointed because the mechanic turned up to check the car and suspected/diagnosed what the problem might be and promised to come back and fix the car. Surprisingly and shocking the mechanic did not contact us and did not come back. It was not like he came to conned us and left us in limbo. The whole family is disappointed and would like to book any job with TST again. We lost £50 within 6 minutes without any follow up or getting the job done. I am so so disappointed sorry. I don't any future booking please.
Liam come to diagnose the problem Said it was a fault with the key and would get someone he knew to call we never received a call back . When we did get somebody else it was nothing to do with the key it was the steering. So we basically paid £60 for nothing
Very professional garage ..Recomanded A ++++
Excellent comms and service. Quick to answer/return calls, kept up to date in all matters, always felt that I was getting 5* service. Had a small problem (squeal/rubbing noise) which they resolved quickly. Fully recommended.
Nice Customer service and get a clear idea about car's problem.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Several major media outlets have debunked a report from Action News in Jacksonville that the Jaguars have had trade talks with the New York Jets regarding quarterback Tim Tebow.
The report came with the NFL's 4 p.m. Thursday trade deadline looming.
There were several Tebow sightings in his hometown of Jacksonville on Tuesday night. The Jets have a bye this week.
The Jaguars battled the Jets for Tebow when the quarterback was on the trading block from Denver earlier this year. According to reports, Tebow chose the Jets.
The Jaguars subsequently said they were committed to developing second-year QB Blaine Gabbert.
Jets coach Rex Ryan has reemphasized his commitment to Mark Sanchez as the team's starting quarterback, despite his struggles this season. He has said Sanchez gives his team the best chance to win games.
Tebow was part of two national championship teams at the University of Florida, and many have speculated the Jaguars would sell more tickets with the "hometown hero" on the sidelines.
The Jags have not had a TV blackout since 2009.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/5/2013 (1575 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Every NHL offseason brings change. Hockey fans don't need Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff to say that to understand the roster will look different come next October than it does right now.
But as the Jets boss spoke to the media in his end-of-the-season address today, he did make one thing perfectly clear: the organization's young prospects – players like Mark Scheifele and Jacob Trouba – will get every opportunity to stick with the big club come training camp next fall.
"As an organization, I want every player to have the opportunity and feel that they have the opportunity to play at the level that they deserve to play," said Cheveldayoff. "With respect to those two individuals (Scheifele and Trouba) the opportunity is there in front of them. There is some projection on our part as to what extent do you create opportunities for them. We're going to have to spend some time making those kind of judgments.
"If we feel that creating spacing is what will help them get in and they deserve that, then that's what we're going to do. But that creating space could happen now, it could happen at training camp, it could happen a month into the season.
"As far as giving them ample opportunity to be a part of the Winnipeg Jets, they are on the same equal playing field as every player and are going to have that same scrutiny as well."
Cheveldayoff is leaving on Thursday for Europe and the IIHF World Championships in Finland and Sweden where he will closely monitor Trouba, who is with the American team, as well as Andrew Ladd and Ondrej Pavelec. He also recently watched Scheifele help lead the Barrie Colts into the Ontario Hockey League final, where they'll meet the London Knights.
Cheveldayoff spent most of today's session analyzing what went wrong in 2013, a condensed season in which the Jets finished out of the playoffs for the second straight year.
"We got off to a reasonably good start and then the inconsistency crept in and we started to go in a different direction," Cheveldayoff said. "We needed to put the stop-gaps in there to stop going in that direction. Eventually we did.
"At one point in time we were going to win the division, at one point in time we were going to draft first overall. At another point in time we were going to win the division again and then we were only a couple of losses away from being in last place.
"We needed to find a way to be more consistent."
Other items of note from Cheveldayoff's 31-minute address to the media:
- Evander Kane finished the season with a bad wrist and foot. He will see a specialist about the wrist before a determination is made on whether he would need surgery.
- Mark Stuart played most of the year with an abdominal injury that will also be evaluated.
- On Dustin Byfuglien's play: "When it comes to Buff, I don't think we can be totally satisfied with anybody's play this year because we didn't make the playoffs, we didn't get to the next step. Everyone's got to be pushed, him included."
- On Claude Noel's status, as the head coach has one more year remaining on his contract: "Claude Noel is the head coach of the Winnipeg Jets. He's under contract. I know you're going to ask me about an extension. There's processes that have to go through, there's different things you discuss, you talk about, you meet as a group, as a staff."
- The Jets' nine restricted free agents – Zach Bogosian, Bryan Little, Blake Wheeler, Alex Burmistrov, Eric Tangradi, Anthony Peluso, Zach Redmond, Paul Postma and Arturs Kulda – remain "very much priorities" although no formal contract discussions have startet as of yet.

LG Prada 3.0 Review
0. phoneArena posted on 20 Jan 2012, 04:54
Having almost nothing in common with its predecessors, and tailored to the needs of contemporary smartphone users, we're taking our chance to see if the new LG Prada 3.0 sport that characteristic Prada style that will have the numerous fans of the brand flock to it hastily!...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here
1. bloodline (Posts: 706; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
love this bit -
Still, its specific looks and overly-simplistic interface won't be for anyone.
2. Birds (Posts: 1171; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
Lg did a prety good job.
14. Birds (Posts: 1171; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
This is why I hate the commenters on this sight becasue they are biased. You can't respect someone's comment? I never thumbed down anyone's comment even if I didn't like it. If I think LG did a good job making this device then I think they did. LG is not the most renowned name in android but this device is still well specked. I wonder how many of you have read the review?
3. Jericho (unregistered)
Awesome love the prada series.the first gen prada was my first mobile phone. Maybe that's why lg is my favorite manufacturer.for me it ain't about the processor for me its all about what my heart says and it says prada over any device regardless of the specs.
10. stealthd (unregistered)
I'm not trying to offend here, but I'm a little surprised to see lg prada fanboys exist.

Im surprised to see LG fanboys exist!
5. Thomas5.3 (Posts: 37; Member since: 30 Oct 2011)
seriously an eight? Especially after the low grades you gave away recently.. This phone lacks a decent screen with its ppi of 217, the processor is also kind of slow for 2012 (1ghz).. camera sucks as well..
16. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
it's a PRADA phone. the main thing it needs to do is to look good, not to be the fastest phone in the world. besides, 1gHz Dual Core is sufficient and less taxing on the battery
6. jamrockjones (Posts: 345; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I think they were being a little hard on the phone because they had high expectations due to the big name PRADA.
7. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1237; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
As they should. Would you expect a mediocre "Droid" phone? No.
The PRADA phones are meant to be top notch and almost luxury like.

LOL on the 3D view "update failed" classic andriod XD
9. nwright94 (unregistered)
Maybe this is because of my love for WP7 and its minimalistic UI but that is my favorite android UI I've seen.

Stupid.flop mobile in the hd world.having goodness of ics.n the future will be quadcore.......
13. trumpet116 (Posts: 27; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
Why wouldn't they use AMOLED with all these blacks? It would've been stunning!!
15. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the UI is the star of this show. i just love it. this is just how i like my UIs, nice and simple.
i like the layout of buttons on the top of the device as well. the FFC launcher and the well designed microUSB cover are nice touches.

If Apple ever came out with a limited edition Prada Iphone 4s it would get a perfect 10 from these guys
18. Guest_star (Posts: 231; Member since: 30 Dec 2011)
IPS-LCD is TFT type, as far as i know there isn't any other way to make good resolution LCD's without TFT...learn your basics and than make a review and say something like "the Prada 3.0 comes with a large 4.3" screen, which, unfortunately, is of the old-school TFT type, and this is visible, as we observe lower contrast compared to AMOLED or IPS-LCD screens" TFT doesn't make contrast better or worst it's thin transistor film below LCD that gives it resolution...IPS gives it contrast and viewing angles...maybe if resolution is higher the contrast is better and viewing angles are wider but it's primarily for resolution...sheesh you do reviews and you don't even know he basics in hardware of screens...btw I heard that screen on Prada phone will be NOVA display with 800 nits of brightness which means it is IPS LCD

Can you connect old Prada Link watch to Lg Prada 3.0???

If only Samsung would release a phone with a Samsung 19010 Galaxy S Giorgio Armani design and the specs of Samung Galaxy S 2......

Hope the unit will come out soon with arabic support.
26. JudeSaady (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 May 2012)
Actually, if you go to the phone''s official website, which is a trusted source, it says that it's real Saffiano leather on the back of this phone, which means the person who wrote this review never even touched the phone or saw it. This makes me question this review, the person who wrote it and this website (phonearena). I have no reason to believe any information wrote on this review. Disappointment.
27. SillyMe (Posts: 7; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
I can only say its great and worth this money! I got it, and I'm more then satisfied. x
28. nsnk86 (Posts: 43; Member since: 18 Jun 2012)
any idea if dis prada 3.0 is cming to india?? luv it!! am hving the old one prada 2....... luv its simple interface!! :)
29. rock5 (Posts: 1; Member since: 17 Jul 2012)
Very good phone !
30. Itsmefraaan (Posts: 1; Member since: 31 Mar 2013)
I really liked. I found one 50% off here, and I'm going to buy it.
I'm not into the fashion thing, I'll buy because I think is beautiful, has what I need (I use my phone to make calls, use internet, send messages, take photos, nothing bg) and is waaaaaay cheaper than other very good phones.

for example below is a code that simply deletes empty folder. What i want is for it to show/print what is currently being deleted.
I want a similar scenraio like when you install something on terminal and it lists it's current activities.
- Code: Select all
#deleting empty folders
def delemptydir():
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(src, topdown=False):
for file in dirs:
path = os.path.join(root, file)
if not os.listdir(path):
This is very helpfull when deleting or copying big files because you know that it is doing something.

Yanks' Banuelos on DL with back pain
Left-hander has no timetable for return following rough starts
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | April 13, 2012 1:37 PM ET
Banuelos, ranked by MLB.com as the No. 13 prospect in baseball entering 2012, will miss at least a week, although the team said there is no timetable on his return.
Banuelos, 21, has endured a rough start to the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, allowing 21 baserunners in 5 1/3 innings over two starts. He's 0-1 with a 10.13 ERA and has walked seven batters.
On Thursday, the Mexican southpaw issued six walks, allowing two runs on three hits over two frames at Buffalo. He was charged with four runs on 11 hits and a walk in his 2012 debut in Syracuse on April 7.
Banuelos was a MiLB.com Yankees Organization All-Star last year after going 6-7 with a 3.75 ERA in 27 starts between Trenton and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He competed for a spot on New York's Opening Day roster this spring but was assigned to Triple-A as expected.
Banuelos and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre are spending the entire season on the road as their ballpark, PNC Field in Moosic, Pa., undergoes renovations.
The Yankees promoted right-hander Chase Whitley from Double-A Trenton to replace Banuelos, and he ended up picking up the win in the Yankees' 7-5 victory in Buffalo on Friday, allowing one hit over four innings of relief. Whitley was a 15th rounder from 2010 out of Troy (Ala.) University who had struck out seven over four scoreless innings of relief in two appearances at Trenton.

Bling Ring Leader Rachel Lee Will Serve 4 Years for Audrina Patridge Robbery
Rachel Lee, leader of the infamous Bling Ring, was sentenced to four years in prison for her raid on Audrina Patridge's home.
-Lucia Peters
Remember the Bling Ring? That group of burglars who managed to steal a whopping $2 million from Paris Hilton over the course of different robberies? The ones who also managed to nab ridiculous amounts of booty from the likes of Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr, Rachel Bilson, and Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox? Well, guess what? Rachel Lee, the mastermind behind the whole venture, has been sentenced to four years in prison for the raid on Audrina Patridge's house in 2009.
Read Mean Betty: Paris Hilton, Criminal Mastermind?
According to TMZ, Lee pleaded no contest to one count of first degree residential burglary last month. Apparently the thief nabbed $43,000 worth of items from Audrina, including her passport, some jewelry, a laptop, and some designer jeans. Four other members of the gang are still cooling their heels; they're awaiting trial for the burglaries of Orlando, Megan, Paris, and Lindsay Lohan.
The kicker? Rachel Lee is only 21 years old. The Bling Ring were all teenagers when they carried out their crimes. By and large, they were able to make their way into the houses via doors that had been left open. It just goes to show that you should never underestimate the worth of a good lock!

A LONGFORD Park JFC team are celebrating after winning their first ever trophy The Under 7s 'Athletic' side took home the Under 7s Team of the Day Trophy at the first ever Manchester FA Powerleague 5s tournament, held on December 2 in Ardwick.
Under 7s Athletic coach Mike Frattasi said: "I'm very proud of the team and how they represented Longford Park JFC on the day.
"Football at this age level should be about enjoyment, learning new social skills and developing as footballers. They certainly enjoyed the day after some initial nerves in the opening game.
"Considering that they haven't been playing together very long, Frankie, Libby, Finlay, Harry and William battled hard in every game, putting into practice some of the elements that they have learnt in training.
"They were not afraid to make mistakes in order to learn - which is something we try to put across to the players in every training session and game - but more importantly they had fun."

THE mother of a seven-month-old baby who faces deportation is still waiting for the UK Border Agency to rule on her visa application – which is among a backlog of 16,000 cases.
Jorlie Cammack, 26, faces being separated from her husband Mark and son Colin.
Mark, 40, says they have supplied documentation for her visa extension on four separate occasions after the agency repeatedly told them it had not received Colin's birth certificate and other paperwork.
The couple, from Cricklade, have sent items by registered post and in the latest effort to have their case dealt with emailed scanned documents.
An official replied two weeks ago to say their case was being examined.
It emerged this week that the UKBA has a backlog of more than 16,000 applications from migrants seeking permission to stay in Britain, some of them dating back almost a decade.
The cases were uncovered by John Vine, the chief inspector of borders and immigration, who said the situation was "completely unacceptable".
Mark said: "The last time we sent them all the paperwork was two weeks ago.
"We received a reply thanking us for the quick reply and evidence and saying they would investigate, but we have heard nothing since.
"We are anxious to know what's happening as we are in limbo and we don't know if they are going to turn up here. It doesn't surprise me at all to hear about the backlog.
"What is really frustrating is that other people have applied in the same situation we are in and have got their visas straight away."
The couple say they have been the victims of a series of blunders by the troubled agency.
Mark, an HGV driver, married Jorlie at Swindon Register Office just over a year ago after they met on an internet dating site.
Jorlie returned to the UK from the Philippines in September 2011 on a six-month visa, settling with her husband in Saxon Close.
Her first request to remain was initially refused but the agency later approved it after the couple contacted North Wiltshire MP James Gray.
Jorlie then applied for a two-year extension to her stay.
They sent off the documentation to the agency in January of that year and received an acknowledgement of the application, which was followed by a letter via Mr Gray's office several months later, apologising for the delay amid a backlog of "complex cases".
The grounds for the refusal of Jorlie's leave to remain were her alleged late application and a failure to provide a copy of an English language test and Colin's birth certificate.
But the couple said they had supplied both numerous times and were originally within the deadline.
The UKBA said: "We have agreed to reconsider the application once the correct birth certificate is provided.
"Ms Cammack will face no action from the UKBA while her case is being considered."

Maybe this doesn't deserve it's own thread, but considering the recent massacre, it's interesting to see the government involved in some murders, even if it wasn't involved in the massacre.
So what do you guys think about Fast and Furious? 'Botched' operation where they simply lost track of the guns? Or was it more along the lines of Katie Pavlich's book where the Obama administration actually wanted the guns to be used in crimes to bolster its argument for more gun control?
I definitely think this was a deliberately planned process, with oversight and awareness all the way up the chain of command. I think the invocation of executive privilege is very telling. That looks so bad, that whatever the documents actually reveal must have been far more damaging to the Obama administration than the suspicions we now entertain.
I don't think this originated under Obama though. I suspect that he inherited the project in some way, and whether the project changed over time or not, I don't know.
I think the plan, more or less, was to reveal the outcomes of those sales in a way that characterized the U.S. gun trade as fuelling Mexican crime. I do NOT believe that it was ever intended to be made public that the ATF had allowed the sales to take place right from the start. I'm sure it would have been portrayed in such a way that it looked like the research on the gun's history had been done as part of some sort of routine ATF fact finding.
I think one of the disgusting parts of the affairs is how coolly this project dismissed Mexican citizens' and law enforcement officers' safety. It's only a scandal HERE because a U.S. federal agent took a bullet too. What must Mexicans feel about this project?
In the end, a government that gives away the lives of foreigners in order to make a political point can't possibly care that much more about the safety of its own citizens. I think if any Fast and Furious guns were used in a media-blitz mass murder in America, it would have served that project just as well to prove the point they were trying to make, and I doubt whoever designed the program gave a poop.
"I don't think this originated under Obama though. I suspect that he inherited the project in some way, and whether the project changed over time or not, I don't know."
Yes, Obama inherited it somewhat. There was an similar program under the Bush administration called "Operation Wide Receiver". Interesting to note that Wide Receiver took more measures to keep track of where the guns went than did Fast and Furious, fueling the possibility that the administration wanted them to end up in the hands of criminals.
The 5 Biggest Differences Between Operation Fast and Furious and Operation Wide Receiver
Is there any good background reading on this topic?

FOOD lovers are being given a chance to invent their own burger to go on sale at a popular Halesowen pub.
The Lutley Oak, Stourbridge Road, wants burger buffs to create Flaming Grill's first crowd-sourced burger which will be on sale by the Summer.
The winner will scoop £500 and see their burger creation being on the menu of 93 pubs across the country as part of Flaming Grill's Summer Burger Festival, running from June to July.
Bryan Wilson, general manager at the Lutley Oak said: "We're famous for our fun flame-grilled food and we think it's time for a new addition to join our fantastic burger range, which already includes some pretty impressive delights like the Pretzel Burger and our infamous 1kg Flaming Challenge Burger.
He added: "We want to add some new twists to our burgers and what better way to do it than to ask our guests to design their perfect creation? I am very excited to see what our creative diners will come up with and what will make it on to the Burger Festival menu later this year."
