cd $Points
if [ `ls .|wc -l` -eq 0 ]; then
wget -q "http://www.google.com/latitude/apps/badge/api?user=${ID}&type=json" -O new
mv new `date +%s`
else
File=`ls |tail -n1`
Last_Time_Stamp=`grep timeStamp $File|cut -f2 -d':'|cut -f1 -d','`
wget -q "http://www.google.com/latitude/apps/badge/api?user=${ID}&type=json" -O new
if grep -q $Last_Time_Stamp new ; then
