An armed man robbed a Pizza Hut delivery driver at the Taunton Woods apartment complex on Sunday night, making it the third armed robbery against pizza delivery drivers at the location within the last three weeks, Taunton police said.
The pizza delivery driver was robbed of the $150 he had on him at 9:35 p.m. on Sunday at the 840 County St. apartment complex, according to the Taunton Police Department.
The driver from the newly opened Pizza Hut on Bay Street told police that as he was making a delivery to an apartment in Building C at Taunton Woods. A man wearing a hoodie approached him, holding a blue steel semi-automatic in his right hand. The delivery driver told police the man said, "Give me everything you got."
Building C at Taunton Woods was the same building where a woman delivering pizzas for Papa Gino's was robbed at gunpoint on Aug. 1. During that robbery, a man let her into the building, followed her to the second floor, flashed a handgun and robbed her.
"He approached her and told her to give him everything she has," a Taunton police report said.
After Sunday's robbery, the most recent victim flagged down police at the nearby Uno's restaurant on County Street, telling officers that he couldn't call because the battery in his phone, which was not taken, was out of power.
The Pizza Hut delivery driver described the robber as a black man, with a thin build, approximately 6 feet tall, with a trimmed black mustache with a matching black beard.
A similar description was given after the Aug. 1 robbery. In that case, the perpetrator was described as a thin, dark-skinned black man in his early 20s, who is about 6 feet tall, with scruff on his chin and black hair.
In both cases, the suspect was described as wearing a gray hoodie and dark pants.
No one has been arrested in connection to either of the robberies, as of early Monday evening.
The first in the series of three armed robberies on pizza delivery drivers took place on July 30, according to Taunton police. The July 30 robbery was "similar" to the one on Aug. 1, according to a Taunton police report, and it "took place at the same address and same building."
During Sunday's robbery, the man "came from around the side of the building" when he approached the Pizza Hut delivery man, the police report said, based on the driver's account.
The victim said that he could assist police in creating a picture of the suspect if needed, a police report said. The victim also said he could identify the person if he saw him again, the report said.
There is no further information at this time, Taunton police Officer Stephen Joiner said in his report.
In January, there were three armed robberies within a month at the nearby Papa Gino's restaurant. The delivery drivers who were victims of the Taunton Woods armed robberies came from the same Papa Gino's on Taunton Depot Drive, across the street from the apartment complex. Two men were arrested in the earlier string of robberies at the restaurant, including 34-year-old James Randolph, who lived at the nearby Dear Park apartment complex at 819 County St.

Sen. Dave Lawson (R-Marydel) held off Democrat Kathleen Cooke with 50.6 percent of the vote in the Senate's District 15. Cooke received 47.7 percent of the vote while Independent Catherine Samardza managed to get 1.7 percent of the vote.
Sen. Dave Lawson (R-Marydel) edged out his Democratic challenger Katie Cooke in Tuesday's election with 50.6 percent of the vote to win his second term as senator of District 15.
Lawson garnered 9,547 total votes while Cooke acquired 47.7 percent of the vote with 9,004 votes. Independent candidate Catherine R. Samardza ended the night with 324 votes.
Lawson attributed his victory to hard work, not taking any opponents lightly and running a clean, honest campaign.
"We are coming back to a balance in government so that people are not neglected like they currently are," he said at Delaware Republican headquarters at Dover Downs Tuesday night. "With one party rule, people aren't on the agenda. They're not even on the radar."
"When the disparity is so big, it's one way or the highway," Lawson said, referring to Democratic control of the Senate and House. "That's not a people's agenda. Balanced government represents the people."
Even though Cooke lost, she said she feels great about the campaign: "It was an amazing opportunity and we had such a phenomenal group of volunteers who were so inspiring, dedicated and motivated."
In terms of running again, Cooke said in an election this close it's hard not to want to run again but she hasn't made any commitments. She did learn some lessons in her first go at it including starting earlier; her campaign was essentially only seven weeks. Cooke's favorite part was representing the Smyrna/Clayton areas in the campaign, which is where she lives and works.
"The entire community did come together and said 'We would like this change, we believe in you' and it was true in the results that was awesome," Cooke said. "It would really have been an honor to represent them."
Samardza said she learned a lot from the campaign and it was possible she'd run again in the future.
"The fact is, it was a three-way race and we all did our best. The senator managed to maintain his lead," Samardza said.

Could a new restaurant be coming to Neosho?
Could a new restaurant be coming to Neosho?
Richard Davidson, Neosho mayor, said Tuesday evening that he was contacted on Tuesday by a financial institution representing a restaurant chain with interest in Neosho.
"A chain restaurant that has looked at Neosho before and previously gone through the chamber," Davidson said. "I asked that financial institution to have the restaurant chain owner contact myself or Mr. (Troy) Royer so we could lay out what the city's position is and if there's anything we could do to help with that."
Davidson said it was encouraging to receive the call and he expects to hear back in the next few weeks.
He said he could not disclose which chain it is, though he did say it is a sit-down restaurant.
"Because of demographic issues, they were not able to make the numbers work before," Davidson said. "I've encouraged them to come back and talk to us and see if we can do anything to encourage them to locate here in Neosho."

Voting under way for 2012 Hank Aaron Award
Major League Baseball was led at the plate this regular season by a slew of different standouts. Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, who led all players with 216 hits, is the only one of the 30 who has won an Aaron Award as his league's top offensive performer.
And there are only four carryover nominees from last year: Ryan Braun of the Brewers, Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers, Andrew McCutchen of the Pirates and the Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton -- who was "Mike" when he was nominated a year ago.
American League nominees include Billy Butler of the Royals, Cabrera, Shin-Soo Choo of the Indians, Edwin Encarnacion of the Blue Jays, Josh Hamilton of the Rangers, Jeter, Adam Jones of the Orioles, Joe Mauer of the Twins, Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox, Josh Reddick of the A's, Alex Rios of the White Sox, Kyle Seager of the Mariners, Mike Trout of the Angels and B.J. Upton of the Rays.
National League nominees include Jose Altuve of the Astros, Braun, Jay Bruce of the Reds, Andre Ethier of the Dodgers, Carlos Gonzalez of the Rockies, Chase Headley of the Padres, Jason Heyward of the Braves, Aaron Hill of the D-backs, Matt Holliday of the Cardinals, Adam LaRoche of the Nationals, McCutchen, Buster Posey of the Giants, Carlos Ruiz of the Phillies, Alfonso Soriano of the Cubs, Stanton and David Wright of the Mets.
"Named in honor of one of the greatest hitters and competitors of all-time, the Hank Aaron Awards recognize each league's best all-around offensive performer," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "Hank's career will forever remain a model of excellence and consistency, and I am glad that the 30 club nominees are following the example of a pillar of our game."
"It is a real privilege to have my name on the award that recognizes the most outstanding offensive performer in each league," Aaron said. "With so many talented players in the game today, I am thankful to have the assistance of my fellow Hall of Famers and the fans to select the winners."
Your vote will be counted alongside those of a special panel of Hall of Famers -- personally selected by Aaron himself. Tony Gwynn, Paul Molitor, Joe Morgan and Robin Yount combined for 12,119 hits, 888 homers and 4,984 RBIs, and they all agreed to lend their expertise.
The award, which is officially sanctioned by MLB, has recognized the most outstanding offensive performer in each league since it was established in 1999 -- commemorating what then was the 25th anniversary of Aaron passing Babe Ruth with his 715th career homer. At the time, it was the first new major award introduced by MLB in more than 25 years.
Jeter can join his partner on the left side of the Yankees' infield, Alex Rodriguez, as the only three-time winners of the award.
Past winners include: Jose Bautista and Matt Kemp (2011); Bautista and Joey Votto (2010); Jeter and Albert Pujols (2009); Aramis Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis (2008); Rodriguez and Prince Fielder (2007); Jeter and Ryan Howard (2006); David Ortiz and Andruw Jones (2005); Manny Ramirez and Barry Bonds (2004); Rodriguez and Pujols (2003); Rodriguez and Bonds (2001-02); Carlos Delgado and Todd Helton (2000); and Ramirez and Sammy Sosa (1999).

Last night I remembered something Dad told me. I didn't just recall it. I said it.
I don't know what Heaven will be like.
The Bible tells us some about it. A couple people were caught up into Heaven. The Apostle Paul heard a voice from Heaven on the road to Damascus. The Book of Revelation describes Heaven but even those references include the phrase that things "were like" something.
I am pretty sure that cartoon cat and mouse Tom and Jerry have it wrong. I don't think we'll turn into angels who sit on clouds and play the harp all day. I do think I will get to drink all the Diet Coke I want without people constantly warning me about how bad it is for me.
That would certainly be heavenly.
I'm not sure if people who are in Heaven can still see us down here. I don't know if they would bother looking if they could.
When you vacation in Hawaii, do you check the weather forecast for Wichita? I doubt it.
But if they can and if they do, my dad was getting a big laugh last night.
Due to my sons beginning soccer practice and all of the recent rains here, I had to get my mowing done last night. From the minute I walked in the front door after work until the sun finally set, I was behind a mower.
Dad could relate to that. He always worked two jobs. His main job and his own janitorial service that he kept from when he was a young man until his death.
He worked at the same job for 42 years but he always kept the janitorial service because, "you never know when you will need it."
That janitorial service was my first job. We didn't get allowances per se. My brother and I worked with dad on Saturdays and sometimes in the evening after school.
We got paid based on the work we did.
I learned so much about work ethic from that time.
First, I saw my dad work. He never cut any corner. His buildings had to be perfect.
I remember him coming behind me to make sure the trash cans were completely empty and placed back properly. He checked the ash trays to make sure I had wiped them out perfectly. You couldn't have people putting their cigarettes out in a dirty ash tray.
Last night I remembered something he told me. I didn't just recall it. I said it. Then I laughed because I heard my dad's voice come out of my mouth.
As I finished mowing the back yard, I saw our trash cans. My nine-year old takes out the trash at the house. He had bundled it all up in grocery store bags and taken it out. The trash cans had been placed upside down so that they wouldn't collect rain.
Instead of turning the trash cans over, my son just placed his bags on the bottoms of the trash cans.
That is a ticking time bomb.
How many neighborhood dogs and cats would like a shot at those bags?
So I called Blake outside and had him go back to the alley and turn the trash cans over and put the trash where it is supposed to go.
"Son, if you do a job halfway, you haven't done it at all," I told him.
I heard that so many times growing up.
I don't know if dad heard me say that last night. But if he did, I can only imagine the big grin on his face knowing that I actually heard him all those times and that my boys are learning the same lessons now.

News on George Zimmerman and Syria.
News to know
George Zimmerman is being detained by police in Lake Mary, Fla., after his wife called 911 to report domestic violence. Shellie Zimmerman said last week that she was filing for divorce, citing stress around the Trayvon Martin shooting trial. On the 911 call, Shellie told police that George was threatening her and her father with a gun.
Quote of note
"I declare that the Syrian Arab Republic welcomes Russia's initiative, on the basis that the Syrian leadership cares about the lives of our citizens and the security in our country. We are also confident in the wisdom of the Russian government, which is trying to prevent an American aggression against our people." - Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem, talking to reporters today after Syria said it would hand over control of its chemical weapons to an international council, as Russia proposed.

DENVER The state Senate spent all day Friday hashing out Democratic gun control bills, and the chambers leaders made plans to stay in session past midnight for a debate that is drawing national attention.
By the afternoon, Democrats had won an initial vote on one of their top priority bills, House Bill 1229, which requires background checks for all gun sales.
They also had passed three other bills.
But the last three were the toughest and might not survive the debate. The bills include a 15-round limit on ammunition magazines, increased legal liability for many gun owners, and a ban on concealed weapons at colleges.
Republicans stretched their vocal cords to defeat them.
The eyes of the nation are upon us. What we do today matters to everybody, said Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray.
Although some states have stricter gun control laws, Colorado offers a test case on whether a moderate, pro-gun Western state will accept some of the same gun-control measures being considered in the U.S. Congress.
Colorado Democrats hold a 20-15 advantage in the Senate, so they can afford to lose only two votes. Several media outlets reported that at least three Democrats oppose some of the bills.
Sponsors of the ban on concealed weapons on college campuses were scrambling to shore up support Friday morning.
Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango, had come out in support of only one of the bills by the afternoon a requirement for in-person training to get a concealed weapons permit.
Roberts opposed a fee of about $10 on gun buyers to pay for their own background checks.
It does smack of punitive action toward those who are purchasing a gun, and I think thats the wrong way to go about this, Roberts said.
Earlier this week, she said she was considering voting for a bill to confiscate guns from certain domestic violence offenders, but she said Friday that sheriffs had pointed out too many logistical problems.
If I thought this bill would actually help a woman in a situation of domestic violence, I think I would vote for it, Roberts said.
Democrats appeared to be unanimously behind the domestic violence bill, fending off an emotional attempt by Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, to delay it.
Cadman told a story of abuse at the hands of his father and said he wanted to vote for the bill, but it needed to be fixed.
Do you know what its like to watch your 10-year-old brother get beat by a screwdriver? I do, Cadman said.
Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, said the Legislature is responding to voters desire to prevent more gun massacres.
Today, we are putting forth a historic, functional plan that will affect change. The domestic violence bill is about as commonsense as it gets. I had hoped we would have had more bipartisan votes for it, but regardless, am satisfied that its moving forward, Morse said in a prepared statement.
Fridays debate was the first of two the Senate will hold on the bills. If any of the bills passes its initial vote, it could be brought up for a final Senate vote as soon as Monday.

@pmds and all Vikings followers--Vikings 519 will air 23 Jan 2019, but there are already old links there. If you look at the far left of the links, you'll see the dates are mostly 1 or 2 years old; that's why they're bad. I would guess that they are there due to an old malfunction of robots, probably mistaking 319 for 519. Once again: Bad, bad robots...
every single link is either broken or goes to a deleted file. please fix this.
Ok, didn't see that one coming
fairy tail season 3 episode 17
Totally dig this show & it's different from anything that's out there. The only thing that bugs & messes things up is the friggin' BIG B* wife (Athena Karkanis). IMO, she's totally useless & quite frankly, annoying at times. Lol!...Ben Stone (Josh Dallas), the husband has more connection w/ Saanvi (Parveen Kaur) & think she should've been the wife. Lol!...Well, you guys can add a minor* bummer that it's a short series (13 eps) & season finale next wk. Hope they add more eps come S2....Keep it up, Guys!
This show is great so far via the pilot. Such a great cast.
exactky yummyyummy!
Links are for the Magnum series reboot, can someone please upload the Original Series?
Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 11 and Episode 12 are links to the new Magnum series reboot. Can somebody please update and add additional links for the Original Series?
Does anybody have this episode of High Maintenance, entitled "Grandpa," available for uploading? I am surprised that there are so few links for such a hilarious and well-produced, modern television series. I prefer Speedvid, Streamplay, Openload, or Streamango if possible, thanks.
a sad ending.
Blew me away, i had no idea thought they were her mothers or something but hell of a thing
Doesn't this show directly bite the movie Half Baked and its Mr Nice Guy weed delivery company?
speedvid aways put a high jack virus on my computer so i do not use the links
This particular episode was beautifully done to weave intricate details of the original characters, it explains the origin/beginning of two worlds. I am hoping this doesn't signal the end of the series. Another series that I enjoyed was Threshold
My anti-virus block speedvid so it don't use it.
Either way, my goal never was to "expose" anything, just give information. In that vein, speedvid is using 10x to 20x more cpu than a usual video player. Probably mining, i'd avoid that site for the health of your system.
You actually are lying about something tonia haiShi5ei... I never caught a virus with his links, he is almost every time the first one to upload, is links are nice, he usualy don't copy links (since he's the first one to upload) and his links allow add block.. Your links are not better.. But thanks for uploading new stuff while people ask it's kind and nice of you tho... But matillnear i don't even use his links so i don't know about is links..
@ginobino No my friend. i do what i do manually, whenever i have time to do it. Tell me something, right now, if i;m gonna upload a wrong link into an episode, what do you think is gonna happen with martillnear?
Just to be clear, im saying you use automation too and matrilinear isn't giving people anymore viruses than you are.
sorry to burst your bubble, doesn't take a genius to realize the links and files are ultimately identical
@ginobino I am lying???? Seriously???? I am the one with polferis and polish who always upload all the new links and all the new series, we are the ones who fix all the links problems and i am lying???? Matrillnear is not even a human uploader, is a bad bot who is stealing our job
I imagine these people are doing this for some kind of reason, probably ad monetization. Quite simply tonia is lying for more clicks, and matrilinear may have uploaded a corrupted file by accident (automation will do that).
Watch out some uploaders are at it. Links may lead you to streaming site but upload failed to play on all my devices. If you want a hint. Their noted comments say something like, ALWAYS ON TOP...

There was a long scifi debate as to what music mankind would take to the stars (the debaters were all English speakers). There were three competing answers: (1)Whatever they listened to in their teens and 20s (as if the future would be just like then); (2)Happy Birthday, some classical works, and an example or two of all the genres they had then, like folk, big band, jazz, soul, etc. (there are a lot more genres now); (3)None of it, since future men would find all our music childish when they have AI brain enhancements and instrumentation that can produce anything they imagine. There was no resolution to the debate. I'm hoping for 2, and that maybe it can include an Elvis love song and Layla--if MacFarlane had played Layla instead, the Orville would have been rockin' and there would be galactic peace.
the music is a device used to convey emotions outside of the dialogue...perfectly executed by the way
@Tonia1--Thanks for adding season 1 of Young Justice to your season 2; after I binge-watched them, the new season is easier to follow
Thanks for the upload; looks like I didn't knew this one yet :)

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 6 on sister website
said it before and with every episode that comes out they prove it more and more Nora is stupid.
erm it isn't meant to be a true depiction of the future.... and yeah we can't imagine music in the future
A new look at the ealy stages of the aids pandemic and how the lack of knowledge on the viablity and mode of transmission in blood and blood products effected the lives of millions of boys and men who depend on those products for treatment of an inherited disease
An insighful look at the early stages of the AIDS pandemic and the realisation that blood and blood products could effect the lives of many who relied on them for survival.
An interesting show
I know that MacFarlane wants to keep things "easy" on The Orville, but Billy Joel 400 years from now is about as likely as our going to clubs to dance gigues to clavichord music. And if you've never heard of these, that's my point: our music will be all but forgotten, and we can't even imagine what music will be like then.

MK Sound 150 THX Speaker System
The name is different, but the speakers are basically the same. MK Sound's resurrection of the classic 150THX speaker system delivers controlroom sound to those seeking precision, clarity, and detail in their movie and music presentation.
MK Sound, which until recently was M&K Sound (the ampersand is important to this tale, so keep an eye on it), has its genesis in late-1960s southern California, when high-end audio dealer — arguably the first high-end audio dealer — Jonas Miller partnered with audio-design wunderkind Ken Kreisel to begin making custom speakers. Within a couple of years, the firm was a going concern, and M&K soon innovated the very first consumer subwoofersatellite system, thereby laying an important foundation block for the home theater/multichannel revolution still a decade-plus away.
The ampersand-less MK Sound, however, is a new entity: a Danish outfit sprung from the former European importer of the old brand, which purchased the intellectual property and other assets of M&K when it closed its doors in 2007. But the MK Sound 150THX system seen here is the new firm's reincarnation of a classic: The five-driver S-150THX left/center/right monitor and the SS-150THX "tripole" surround speaker have been used for monitoring in multichannel recording, mastering, and dubbing facilities as often as any other speakers. And despite their comparatively boxy, industrial look, they have long crossed over to the consumer world, particularly among serious home theater buffs unconcerned with swoopy cabinets or fine veneers. According to MK Sound, the current 150THX Series — which is now manufactured in China, like seemingly everything else today — is unchanged from the M&K originals except for some evolutionary tweeter enhancements, an upgraded cabinet structure, and improved finish quality.
Getting the MK Sound suite ready was a matter of simply unboxing and plunking onto stands. I suspected from previous experience that the S-150s would be fairly unforgiving of vertical alignment, and so I was at some pains to ensure that all three front monitors were carefully aimed toward seated-ear altitude. From a technical perspective, the system's use of three identical vertical-array front speakers is by far the best solution, since it offers the most consistent tonality across the "front stage" as well as the broadest center-channel listening-angle coverage. But it also means that a below-screen center-channel setup like mine winds up pretty low indeed, so I compensated by uptilting the center S-150THX. (MK Sound provides no special tilting accessories, so I raided my decades-long accumulation of stick-on feet to make it so.)
The SS-150THX tripole surrounds went onto my usual high shelves flanking the listening position, for which they are ideally suited. (This tripole design combines a dual-face, dipolar-midrange speaker with a third, inwardfiring face that's in phase with the speaker side that radiates toward the screen.) Both MK Sound models include simple but effective wall-mounting hardware. However, since the 12½ -inch-deep S-150 isn't an onwall design, I can't imagine it being very successful, either visually or acoustically, in that configuration.
MK Sound's bottom end, the MX-350THX, is a big, heavy, brute-force subwoofer — despite the fact that the "new" version boasts a lighter-weight (and higherpower) B.A.S.H. amp. But let's face it: Nothing the size (and weight!) of a small central-air compressor that houses dual, push-pull 12-inch drivers is likely to be svelte. Nonetheless, I successfully wrestled it into my well-established sub position, a little to the left of and behind the front-left speaker. Dialing it in proved quite unfussy to do (as should be the case when speakers and subs are designed together, and with the de facto standard 12-/24-dB-per-octave crossover slopes in mind) and yielded a tight, solidly integrated, massively able bottom end with minimal tweaking.

Check out our review of the Sony Xperia Tablet Z.
The tablet market is the current flash point of exciting new tech. Devices have been pouring out of all of the top manufacturers. But for anyone seeking a full-sized alternative to Apple's world-beating iPad the options have been distinctly limited. Now Sony has stepped up to the plate with the Xperia Tablet Z and it looks like a badly needed home run.
Operation Persuade Wife has begun in earnest. The money has been earmarked. By the time the release date rolls round I'll be ready to pull the trigger. Everyone has different priorities when they buy electronics, but this tablet ticks all my boxes. Here's why the Xperia Tablet Z is my next purchase.
It's got the look
Just feast your eyes on that. It looks like a premium product. That classic glossy piano black finish and Sony's new signature aluminum power button are stylish and understated. It is incredibly svelte. We're talking 6.9mm here. That makes the 4th generation iPad at 9.4mm and the Nexus 10 at 8.9mm look like a pair of fatties. When they jump on the scales the difference is even starker. The iPad is 662g, the Nexus 10 is 603g, and the Xperia Tablet Z is just 495g.
That's a tablet with a 10.1-inch display that you can hold comfortably in one hand. Sony understands how to deliver quality. So many of the other Android tablets on the market in this size category look cheap, it's refreshing to see something that looks good.
Trust in Sony
Most of us have long memories when it comes to tech. Brand loyalty is earned over years and it spans multiple devices. A bad experience can turn you off a company for life; a good experience can keep you coming back for more. I've never had a bad experience with a Sony product. Obviously, many of you have, and Sony's mobile products have had their fair share of bumps lately, but for me that's a powerful incentive to buy more Sony devices.
The fact that the Xperia Tablet Z has infrared so it can double up as a remote for my Sony TV and I can easily connect a PS3 controller for gaming, adds weight to the argument. With NFC, you can tap next to a Sony speaker to stream music to it immediately. If you have one of the latest Bravia TVs then you can tap to share photos and video (this will form the starting point for Operation Persuade Wife II).
You might be concerned that the resolution is only 1920×1200 pixels. That's not as high as the latest iPad and it's way behind the Nexus 10 which boasts a 2560×1600 pixel display, but keep in mind that Sony understands displays. The Bravia technology and that HDTV know-how make for quality results. Take a look at a Sony TV next to a Samsung and you'll see the difference. A slightly lower resolution should also help to keep the demands on the battery under control and that could prove important as we'll see later.
Other people may also balk at the fact it's not stock Android, but Sony's interface offers a light touch. It doesn't subtract any of the great things about Android. It's a design language I already talk because Sony takes care to use the same user interface (UI) across devices. I'm also invested in the eco-system already so it's an easier sell. We know there will be a PS4 companion app for Android. With Sony's acquisition of Gaikai yet to bear fruit there's a real possibility of an exciting mobile gaming development here and the Xperia Tablet Z could prove to be the device that ties it all together.
Specs and features
There are a handful of other compelling reasons to target the Xperia Tablet Z over other large premium tablets. The quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM should make for silky smooth performance. There is a microSD card slot for easy memory expansion and quickly copying over files. There's an MHL link so you can plug it into a wide range of TVs, Blu-ray players, AV receivers, and other devices.
It also has plastic flaps that can cover the ports, allowing the tablet to be submerged in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Watching movies, surfing the web, and reading is now practical in the bath without that extreme panic moment when you splash the laptop keyboard or your tablet slips and threatens to disappear into the bubbly depths.
The Xperia Tablet Z also has a proper camera. A lot of premium tablets seem to scrimp on the camera, but what's the point in bothering with a rear-facing camera if you aren't going to do it properly? Sony has put in a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for Skype and other video calls and an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with the same Exmor R image sensor that features in its digital camera range. That will deliver quality photos and HD video.
What's the catch?
No device is ever perfect. There always has to be at least one cause for concern and with the Xperia Tablet Z it's definitely the battery. A 6,000mAh battery may have helped keep the device slim and light, but will it deliver enough juice to keep us going throughout the day? To give you a comparison point the iPad 4 has an 11,560mAh battery. A decent dock will be essential and it should solve the problem around the house, but how long will the Z last in the wild?
We'll just have to wait and see. The Sony staff demonstrating it at MWC showed off something called Stamina Mode, which is obviously designed to squeeze maximum minutes out of that battery, but power-saving always means turning off features or sacrificing top end performance so it's not ideal.
Burning desire
For a long time Apple has had the premium tablet market sewn up. There's no doubt that Android tablets cater for all budgets, but what about the premium end of the market? The Nexus 7 is a great device "for the money." The Nexus 10 is possibly the first credible contender for the iPad 4, but Google's partnership with Samsung just isn't doing it for me. The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is the first big Android tablet I've seen that immediately sparked my desire.
Are you tempted by the Sony Xperia Tablet Z? Post a comment and tell us why you'll be buying one or why you won't. You may also want to check out our Sony Xperia Tablet Z hands-on and a spec comparison with the iPad 4 and Nexus 10.

New London in the news and on visitors' to-do lists after image campaign
New London - New London was in the news quite a bit this past summer, and some in the city are loving the attention.
The Boston Globe, Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press, New Haven Advocate, Providence Journal and The Hartford Courant all ran stories on their pages about the Whaling City, from Sailfest to Ocean Beach Gay Day.
Hartford and New Haven television and radio stations aired segments on Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio's visit to Washington for an LGBT reception at the White House, boat trips to see the lighthouses off the New London shore, and free performances of the Coast Guard Dixieland Jazz Band.
"We have consistently done good programs here,'' Susan Tamulevich, director of the Custom House Maritime Museum, said Friday. "But we were never able to overcome the hurdle of attracting outside our local group of followers."
But during the summer months, lighthouse tours sold out and lectures and other events were filled to capacity, she said, a direct result of the efforts of Quinn & Hary/Regan Communications promoting the municipality's image.
"I can't say enough about how the museum appreciated the boost from the city. They did it right this time," she said.
With the commitment from the Coast Guard to build a National Coast Guard Museum on the city's downtown waterfront, there's been a push to expose the gentler side of this small municipality that also has big city problems like crime, poverty and failing public schools.
In May, the city awarded a one-year, $35,000 contract to Quinn & Hary. The goal was not to create a logo or buy advertising. The strategy was to get television, radio and newspapers from outside the region interested in printing and broadcasting stories about the Whaling City.
"There's been negative attention placed on New London for the past couple years, and we were trying to balance that with more positive attention," said City Councilor Adam Sprecace, who is chairman of the Economic Development Committee. "I think we've been successful."
At 5 p.m. on Monday at City Hall, Quinn & Hary will present an interim report for the months covering June and July. The company estimates the stories about the city were exposed online and in print nearly 22.8 million times during those two months. The value of the exposure, if the city had taken out advertisements - also know as "editorial value" - would have been more than $223,000, according to the report.
"Judging from the two-month interim report, it seems there was pretty good progress getting the word out about the positive things going on in New London," Sprecace said.
The report does not include newspaper stories or television reports on the negative side of city living.
Quinn & Hary also helped organize a "Celebrate New London" event last month when New London students and their families were invited to a football game at the Coast Guard Academy. The company promoted Main Street's Fall Food Stroll last week, which sold 900 tickets in advance. It also had a hand in the Connecticut Schooner Festival, a BBQ Fest at Waterfront Park and the I AM Festival for indie rock.
Tammy Daugherty, the city's director of economic development, said Quinn & Hary was given a list of groups including the Custom House, the Garde Arts Center, Hygienic Arts, New London Main Street and Ocean Beach Park, to name a few, and told to "tell the story of New London to a broader audience."
"The city has always had a rich offering of arts and historic tourism," she said. "We just needed to let folks know about it."
But getting people to come to New London is not enough, she added. The city is already addressing the failing schools by implementing a magnet school system. The next step is getting people to open businesses and buy property.
"We've had people from Hartford because of the press we've had, come to the office and want to take a tour," Daugherty said. "It's come to people's attention in the Hartford area that New London is really cool."
Saverio Mancini, deputy team leader at Quinn & Hary, said he plans to submit a six-month report to the City Council in September.
"New London is a wonderful city, and it has a great story to tell. We wanted to be able to do that in a proactive way," he said. "Publicizing events at the Custom House, or Landmarks, or any of the individual organizations, exposes people to the city of New London, and they can see it in a different light."
Tamulevich said the Custom House had about 100 visitors each weekend during the summer months. If every organization could attract 100 people on a weekend, the city may start to succeed.
"If everyone could do that, we'd have a hopping downtown," she said.

The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle of the heart and the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body. The aorta supplies blood throughout the body. Aortic stenosis (AS) is a narrowing of the aortic valve that could block blood flow from the heart and cause a back-up of flow and pressure in the heart and to the lungs. AS can range from mild to severe.
The main causes of AS include:
A birth defect of the aortic valve, which normally has three cusps:
- A two-part aortic valve becomes stenotic with progressive wear and tear
- An aortic valve that has only one cusp or has stenosis from birth
- Progressive hardening and calcification of the aortic valve with age
- Scarring of the aortic valve caused by rheumatic fever —rare
Risk Factors
This condition is more common in men.
Factors that may increase the risk of AS include:
- Family members with heart disease that affects the valves
- History of rheumatic fever
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Smoking
AS does not always produce symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they may include:
- Extreme fatigue after exercise or exertion
- Fainting with exercise or exertion
- Pain, squeezing, pressure, or tightness of the chest usually occurring with exertion
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat
- Shortness of breath
- Lightheadedness with exertion
- Neurological symptoms of a stroke or transient ischemic attack
In rare cases, AS can cause abnormal heart rhythms or sudden death with no previous symptoms.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor may be alerted to AS by the following:
- Abnormal chest sounds such as a heart murmur or clicking sound
- Noticeable chest heave or vibration when the doctor's hand is held over your heart
Images may need to be taken of your chest. This can be done with:
If you have mild AS, your condition will be monitored, but may not need immediate treatment. If you have more severe AS, your doctor may advise you to avoid strenuous physical activity. If necessary, you may be given medications to help prevent heart failure. If needed, you may be prescribed medication, and surgery may be required.
You may be prescribed vasodilators to widen your blood vessels and/or statins to lower cholesterol.
Surgical options include:
- Balloon valvuloplasty —A balloon device is passed through the arteries to open or enlarge the stenotic aortic valve. This may provide temporary relief of symptoms. But since the valve can become blocked again, this treatment is not a permanent solution.
- Aortic valve replacement —During this open surgery, the defective heart valve is replaced with either a bioprosthetic valve or a synthetic valve.
- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement—This surgery also involves replacing the defective valve. But this is minimally invasive surgery that involves inserting the replacement valve through a small incision in the chest or through an artery in the leg.
AS cannot be prevented. But if you have AS, there are several things you can do to try to avoid some of the complications:
- Get regular medical care, including exams and tests.
- Only certain people with AS need antibiotics before dental or medical procedures. Ask your doctor if you need antibiotics to prevent infection of the heart valve.

By Voterama in Congress
WASHINGTON — Here's how North Carolina members of Congress voted on major issues in the week ending June 21.
STRICTER ABORTION LIMITS: Voting 228 for and 196 against, the House on June 18 sent the Senate a bill (HR 1797) to outlaw abortions after 20 weeks of fertilization on grounds that the fetus can feel pain by then. This conflicts with the medical standard in the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which held that abortion is legal up to when the fetus reaches viability -- usually after 24-to-28 weeks of pregnancy -- and after viability if it is necessary to protect the health or life of the mother. Under Roe, viability occurs when the fetus can potentially survive outside the womb with or without artificial aid. This bill allows exceptions only for victims of rape or incest who report the crime to authorities within 48 hours of its occurrence. The bill subjects doctors found guilty to up to five years in prison but imposes no criminal penalty on their patients.
A yes vote was to pass the bill.
Voting yes: Republicans Renee Ellmers, Walter Jones, Virginia Foxx, Howard Coble, Richard Hudson, Robert Pittenger, Patrick McHenry, Mark Meadows and George Holding, and Democrat Mike McIntyre
Voting no: Democrats G.K. Butterfield, David Price and Melvin Watt
DEFEAT OF FARM BILL: Voting 195 for and 234 against, the House on June 20 defeated a bill (HR 1947) to renew federal agriculture and nutrition programs for five years at a projected cost of nearly $1 trillion over ten years, down $40 billion from current spending levels. About $744 billion of the outlay is for food stamps and other food and nutrition programs, with the remainder allocated to protecting farm income, subsidizing crop insurance, boosting exports, expanding domestic markets, promoting land conservation and funding rural development. The bill would cut food stamps — officially named the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — by $20.5 billion over ten years and impose work requirements and drug testing on recipients. The bill was opposed by 88 percent of Democrats who voted and 27 percent of Republicans who voted.
The bill ends the system of direct payments that has been sending $5 billion annually to farmers regardless of whether they grow crops. The bill offers most commodity producers a choice between two programs for stabilizing incomes — one a cushion against price drops and the other a floor under revenue losses. The two risk-management programs are projected to cost $23 billion over ten years.
The bill replaces dairy price supports with a Dairy Market Stabilization Program aimed at managing supplies; renews without change a federal sugar program that costs taxpayers nothing but adds to food and beverage costs; subsidizes growers' export programs; renews overseas food-donation programs such as Food for Peace and renews the protectionist program for peanut growers essentially as is.
A yes vote was to pass the bill.
Voting yes: Ellmers, Foxx, Coble, McIntyre, Hudson, McHenry, Meadows, Holding
Voting no: Butterfield, Jones, Price, Pittenger, Watt
DISPUTE OVER FOOD STAMPS: Voting 188 for and 234 against, the House on June 19 refused to restore food-stamps cuts of $20.5 billion over ten years contained in HR 1947 (above). The cuts in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) would result in an estimated 2 million persons each year losing stamps. Backers said the cuts would wring waste, fraud and abuse out of food stamps, while opponents said they would result in qualified recipients, including families with children, going hungry. The cost of the amendment was to have been offset by cutting supports for commodity growers.
A yes vote was to restore food-stamps funding.
Voting yes: Butterfield, Price, Watt
Voting no: Ellmers, Jones, Foxx, Coble, McIntyre, Hudson, Pittenger, McHenry, Meadows, Holding
COMMODITY-PAYMENT CAPS: Voting 230 for and 194 against, the House on June 20 placed a cap of $250,000 on total payments to any single farm under commodity programs in HR 1947 (above). Consisting largely of income and price supports, these payments go primarily to growers of wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, rice and peanuts. The amendment was supported family farms and seen as costly to agribusiness operations.
A yes vote was to limit commodity payments.
Voting yes: Jones, Price, Foxx, Pittenger, McHenry, Meadows, Watt, Holding
Voting no: Butterfield, Ellmers, Coble, McIntyre, Hudson
U.S.-MEXICO BORDER FENCING: Voting 39 for and 54 against, the Senate on June 18 refused to require 350 miles of reinforced, double-layered fencing on the U.S.-Mexico border to be built before any undocumented person could apply for "Registered Provisional Immigrant" status under a pending immigration bill (S 744). The amendment required another 350 miles of double-layered fencing to be completed in the ten years it will take for applicants to progress from RPI status to eligibility to apply for green cards. The border stretches nearly 2,000 miles from Texas to California.
Under a 1996 law, the Department of Homeland Security has built about 350 miles of pedestrian fencing along the border, only 40 miles of which is double-layered. The department has put in place another 350 miles of vehicle barriers plus impediments such as sensors, land-based cameras and aerial surveillance.
A yes vote backed the amendment.
Voting yes: Republican Richard Burr
Voting no: Democrat Kay Hagan
IMMIGRATION SECURITY PLAN: Voting 61 for and 37 against, the Senate on June 19 tabled (killed) the strictest security plan yet considered during debate on S 744 (above). Before any undocumented immigrant could start on the 13-year path to legal status, the government would have to establish surveillance of the entire Southwest border, build hundreds of miles of double-layered fencing there, end its policy of releasing those caught in illegal crossings and establish total exit tracking of foreign visitors on temporary visas, among other security steps. Congressional votes would be required every five years to allow the legalization of immigrants to continue.
A yes vote opposed the amendment.
Voting yes: Hagan
Voting no: Burr
A look ahead
In the week of June 24, the House will take up a bill to expand offshore drilling, while the Senate will debate immigration policy. Both chambers may vote to avert a doubling of student-loan interest rates July 1. Congress begins its Independence Day recess at week's end.
Congress votes on major issues in the week ending June 21

Food Matters co-owner to address club
The Brevard College Business Club will host a free presentation by Food Matters Market Co-Owner Al Kirchner at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Francis Pavilion of the Porter Center for Performing Arts.
The presentation is titled "The Dream, Development, Care and Feeding of a Small Business."
Despite moving to Asheville to retire 25 years ago, Kirchner became involved in helping local small companies overcome obstacles that most small businesses face when starting up. The first business was Earth Fare in 1996, when the organic food store chain was limited to one location. Kirchner acted as the store's CEO until he hired a successor and the business had spread beyond North Carolina.
After the success of his time with Earth Fare, Kirchner also helped start small businesses such as the Green Sage Coffee House Caf� and the Oceans Flavor Foods natural sea salt company. In addition to running Food Matters as a co-owner, he is involved with a start-up company called CoCoChi, which produces an organic moisturizer now sold in Whole Foods, Earth Fare and other organic stores.
Food Matters Market will also begin opening stores in small communities throughout the Southeast in the near future.
Kirchner's presentation is a part of a speaker series hosted by the BC Business Club.

Life Alert Medical System in Wideman
Life Alert is one of the best known medical alert systems on the market today. They are famous for the "I've fallen and can't get up" TV commercials. They have two major product lines; Life Alert 50+ and Life Alert Classic.
The good:
Life Alert is built around medical alert monitoring and do not have any other product lines. They have been a player in the industry for years and have built one of the best offerings available. They offer several features such as fire, carbon monoxide, and fall monitoring. There is installation service available. They also offer a refund if the user dies alone in their home.
Wideman Medical Alert System
Wideman Medical Alert System
6 out of
10 with
19 reviews
The bad:
The monthly costs are much higher than other services. This is due one of the largest and best known companies in the industry. Purchasing medical alert system is difficult and sales reps seemed to give differing information on each call. They have 24 hour monitoring but customer service is only available during business hours. They require a 3 year contract, which is much longer than any competitor. Additional options are expensive to add and increase monthly fees. They do not have activity monitoring or automated system testing. While they have many features, there is no fall monitor option available.
Founded in 1987, Life Alert has offices throughout the United States. The system was built around standardized medical alert monitoring used in health care facilities to provide individuals with a longer term of independence in their later years. On average, the user of the system is able to live independently approximately six years longer than a person who does not use a system such as this.
The company handles over 2 million calls each year and reports that a life is saved from catastrophic injury every 26 minutes. In a 2004, AC Nielsen Survey 87% of participants reports that the system was a main, or important factor, in their decision to continue living independently. In addition, dispatchers are on duty twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week.
It is reported that the dispatchers per member ratio is approximately 200% or two times the number of dispatchers providing assistance through standard alarm companies. There are two different systems available through the company. The Senior system offers medical, fire and carbon monoxide monitoring. The 50+ system offers home intrusion, fire protection, CO gas poisoning, medical and fire monitoring.
As an industry leader Life Alert is a let down. The prices are too high and the sales process is confusing and unclear. The features are somewhat limited, and the lack of automated systems testing is a big drawback. They do offer a good service, but you are probably better off looking at alternatives that offer similar quality at a lower price.
Lifeline Medical Alert System in Wideman
One of the largest providers of elderly alert systems in the United States today is Philips Lifeline. Philips Lifeline is probably the most well known name in the market today. These people have a large number of relationships with social agencies and hospitals.. They offer different types of services, in several levels. Besides basic medical alert system services, consumers can also sign up to their medication dispensing service, a service that helps users acquire their medication properly and on time.
The Lifeline company also offers an Auto Alert support, a service which utilizes patented technological innovation which monitors if its user has fallen. If the person is unable to get up by themselves in time, an alert call is instantly placed through their intelligent console device. Like a number of other good packages, the Lifeline service is not going to tie a user into a long-term contract. Rates start at about $40/month for basic services, with a one-time set-up fee.
Many times loved ones force medical alert systems on their elderly loved ones out of fear. If this happens to you, it is pivotal that you recognize the need for the device and really want to wear the medical pendant day in and day out. If you don't, then chances are you won't wear the medical pendant and end up wasting your money. But if you are committed to wearing your medical pendant in the home, then you know it is time to do your homework and start looking for a company that works for you.
Most medical alert companies work in the same general way. They all have wearable medical alert devices. This usually refers to a wristband or necklace. They are often discreet and can be worn with anything. The pendant consists of a small transmitter that is activated when you push the button. This is what you do when you want to send a first alert to the monitoring center.
The monitoring center will then make contact with you over the speaker box console. This is your lifeline of your medical alert system. You have the opportunity to tell them you need an ambulance or if it is a false alarm. Of course if you are unable to speak, the monitoring center will treat this as an emergency situation and dispatch the paramedics immediately.
This is how most if not all medical alert companies operate. Now that you know what to expect, how do you choose the right company for you? There are two main components to be considered when making a selection. The first would be the price of the service. Prices can run the gamut from $23.95 a month, to all the way up to $50 a month and higher. Since all of the different companies have the same general system, you certainly don't need to spend top dollar for it. Conversely, you shouldn't necessarily go with the absolute cheapest plan either.

Wellington won when it matter the most, locking up second place in the Jayhawk Baseball League.
Wellington just needed to win one game of the last-minute-scheduled double-header against El Dorado on July 24. They would end up doing so, but the home team lost the first contest 5-3. The second game was a 10-4 blowout by Wellington.
With the Heat losing the first game, falling to just a half game ahead of El Dorado; that meant the second game would decide who took second place in the Jayhawk league, and earn a first-week bye in the National Baseball Congress World Series.
Game one was a make-up game, one that was rained out at El Dorado on Monday. So the Broncos were the "home" team on the scoreboard for game one. El Do nabbed two runs in the first, and added another in middle of the seven-inning game.
Wellington tied it at three-all during the bottom of the sixth. First baseman, Tony Piazza singled to right, scoring Rowdy Andrews. The bases were loaded Kirck Rocha, a sacrifice fly-ball scored Joe Williams. TC Mark followed that with a baser to center, as Piazza touched home plate.
El Dorado had just enough left in the tank and, scoring two runs in the next half-inning, and would carry the 5-3 score to the end for the victory.
The Heat cranked it up a notch in the beginning of game two. Five runs scored, the first came when center fielder, Nick Thimesch attempted a sacrifice bunt, he reached first and was safe thanks to a fielding error; hesitation and errant throwing from the Broncs allowed Rocha, who had two hits in the first, to score. Piazza batted Thimesch home on a base hit, Joe Williams also scored in the first. So did Joe Billinger on a Kyle Kilgore hit. Rocaha's second hit drove in catcher, TC Mark.
No one got on the board in the next two innings. Wellington continued to pad their lead in the fourth with four more runs. Piazza sent a pitch over the left field wall, good for two runs. This occured after Rocha scored on a Thimesch single. Mark batted in Billinger to give the Heat a 9-0 lead.
Derek Fischer, right-handed pitcher for Wellington threw a shut-out in his four complete innings. He was relieved before the start of the fifth, El Dorado got one run across the plate in that inning. The Broncs scored three more in the seventh and final inning on a homerun, but it wasn't enough.
Wellington could pick up more home games between now and the NBC World Series. There are two home games, both against Valley Center this Friday and Saturday.
Stay with The Wellington Daily News for the latest in local sports action.

Thyroid cancer is a malignant growth of the cells in the thyroid gland.
The thyroid is an endocrine gland located in the lower neck. It is shaped a bit like a butterfly, with a thin central body (or isthmus) and two "wings" or lobes. Like all endocrine glands, the thyroid produces hormones—chemicals that circulate through the blood to direct functioning in other organs of the body. The thyroid is made up of two types of cells, follicular cells and C cells. The follicular cells produce thyroid hormone, which is involved in regulating body temperature, heart rate, and the body's use of energy. The C cells produce calcitonin, which is involved in the processing and use of calcium throughout the body.
A thyroid tumor grows when cells of the thyroid become cancerous. These cancer cells begin to divide and multiply more quickly than normal cells. Cancer cells also lack the ability to organize themselves in a normal way and have the capability to invade other normal tissue. Growths on the thyroid are often called thyroid nodules. They can be benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Luckily, the vast majority (more than 90%) of thyroid nodules are benign.
There are 4 main types of thyroid cancer:
- Papillary and follicular thyroid cancer—This type makes up 80%-90% of all thyroid cancers. These are slow-growing cancers of the follicular cells. When caught early and treated, they can be completely cured.
- Medullary thyroid cancer—This type makes up 5%-10% of all thyroid cancers. This type of cancer affects the thyroid's C cells and can be treated successfully when caught early, before it has spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body. Medullary thyroid cancer may be hereditary.
- Anaplastic thyroid cancer—Making up 1%-2% of all thyroid cancer, this type affects the follicular cells, but its cells are highly unusual, fast growing, and very invasive.
- Hurthle cell cancer—Making up 3% of all thyroid cancer, this type affects thyroid's follicular cells. Approximately 25% will spread to surrounding lymph nodes in the neck.
Thyroid cancer is the most common type of endocrine gland cancer. About 14,000 cases of thyroid cancer are diagnosed each year, and about 1,100 deaths occur annually due to thyroid cancer. Women are about three times as likely as men to develop thyroid cancer. The average thyroid cancer patient is 45–50 years old when diagnosed.
Causes and Complications
No one knows exactly what causes thyroid cancer. It is clear, however, that certain situations greatly increase a person's risk of developing the disease. For example, people who have been exposed to radiation (either after nuclear bomb fallout, or through medical use of radiation to the head, neck, chest, or back) have a higher risk of developing thyroid cancer than those who have not. Medullary thyroid cancer also runs in certain families, along with other endocrine cancers. People who have had other conditions affecting their thyroid (chronic goiter, sometimes due to too little iodine in the diet) are also at somewhat greater risk of developing thyroid cancer in the future.
Thyroid cancer can cause an enlarging lump in the neck, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, and a harsh sound while breathing (called stridor). If thyroid cancer is left untreated, it can spread outside of the thyroid to the nearby lymph nodes, nerves, and blood vessels. It can also spread to distant sites within the body. This is called metastasis. When thyroid cancer spreads, it tends to metastasize to lungs, liver, and bone.

My points exactly
Clearly, the team ownership thinks differently.
"However, now that the NHL is back, we want to assure you that the Pittsburgh Penguins will do everything we can to regain your trust and show how much we value your amazing support."
Smart business people. It's not just about getting people in the building.
I think they were agreeing with you.

Two very foolish Verizon employees are under indictment after allegedly copying and distributing nude photographs of an attractive female customer to coworkers and another customer.
The Verizon store that employed the pair was in Bartow, Florida. Joshua Stuart, 24, was helping a young woman — a local server — backup the personal data on her smartphone. However, in the process he allegedly copied some nude photos the girl had stored on her phone to his own device, without her knowledge or consent.
He would have got away with it too if he hadn't decided to share the photos with colleagues and a customer. Stuart was in the process of helping another customer — a local bartender — purchase an upgrade when he offered to show him "banging pictures" of the woman he'd stolen from. He couldn't locate them on the computer so he asked fellow employee, Gregory Lampert, 26, to show the man his copy of the photos.
However, unbeknownst to the Verizon employees attempting to show off those "banging" nudes, the bartender was friends with the woman in the photos and told her what had happened right away. The cops were contacted shortly after.
It was written in the police report that the photos were quite graphic and "very private in nature and several depict her breasts and vagina." The woman in the photos was able to identify the Verizon employees and assure authorities that she did not consent to sharing her personal files.
The bartender who was shown the photos was also able to identify the two employees and told police he had been shown 21 of the 22 stolen photos, both very bad things for the Verizon workers.
As you may have suspected, when the police were able to search the offending store, they found the images on a laptop and two smartphones that belonged to Lampert. No doubt knowing he was caught, Lampert confessed to receiving the photos from Stuart. Lampert also told police that he had stolen images himself from other customer's in the past.
Lampert has been charged with felony, specifically offenses against computer users and dealing in stolen property. Stuart will also be charged if (or when) he returns to Florida as he fled the state once he'd realized he would be charged. We're betting that will definitely not help his case in the slightest.
Has this ever happened to you? Had a service provider's employee stealing personal information? Do you even let them access your device for backup purposes or do you prefer to perform that task on your own?
