Although defence QC David Hopley told Downpatrick Crown Court that 58-year-old David Hull was "deeply ashamed and terribly sorry" for what he had done, Judge Piers Grant said not only had Hull breached the trust placed in him but that his actions had "exacerbated" the lady's medical conditions.
He said: "An additional factor that flows from the position she was in [is that] she was completely and utterly at his mercy."
Hull, an auxiliary nurse from Main Street in Carrowdore on the Ards Peninsula, had pleaded guilty to two charges of sexual assault on the pensioner on 2 September last year while she was an inpatient at the Ulster Hospital.
Sitting in the dock with his head bowed throughout the half-hour hearing, Hull listened as prosecuting lawyer David McDowell outlined how his victim was vulnerable and bed bound.
The lawyer revealed that the lady was unable to move around her bed very much because her lower leg had been amputated.
Mr McDowell recounted that at around 9.30pm on 2 September, Hull was in the process of changing and cleaning the woman when he sexually assaulted her.
At the time and with the curtains closed around the victim's bed, Hull refused the offer of help made by a female nurse, the lawyer told the court, adding that the pensioner was "shocked and horrified" at the assault.
"As he did this he said nothing and then he put the clean pad on, pulled the sheet over her and left, leaving her in shock," said Mr McDowell.
The lady did not report the incident until the following day and it was "reported up the line expeditiously and treated with the seriousness which it merited" but the court heard how the pensioner was fearful that as Hull would have had access to her medical notes, he would come back to the hospital or find her address.
However, as Mr McDowell told the court, "obviously there was no question of that in the circumstances".
Arrested and interviewed, Hull claimed the incident had happened accidentally when his hand slipped off the cleaning cloth but that when it did, "he found it sexually arousing".
"He said he was disgusted at himself and that he would have to be punished, but he said that was for getting it wrong in not reporting it and not looking after the patient rather than for committing a sexual offence," the lawyer told the court.
Mr Hopley conceded that married father-of-one Hull had "broke every code" when he assaulted the pensioner and that although he realised the harm he caused, it was "very hard for him to accept that he engaged in this behaviour".
Remanding Hull back into custody, Judge Grant said he would sentence him this Friday.

Notes from the Manager
Monday-only readers may want to back up a bit, because there were a few bonus strips last week.
As for today's strip, I realize some people won't get what's happening in the last panel, so I'll explain it here: (Akira) Kurosawa, Fritz Lang, Orson Welles, and Yong-Kyun Bae are the directors of Throne of Blood, M, Touch of Evil and Why Has Boddhi-Dharma Left for the East?, respectively. And why that's significant can be found here, on Jason's Cast page.

In a previous article we discussed how to close off Index Locations in Enterprise Vault 10 in order to stop data being written to them. This will prevent the growth in disk space usage of where those volumes are. The next step might be that you really still have to free up some space, so you want to move some index volumes associated with particular archives. In this blog, I'll explain how.
The process starts with the Manage Indexes wizard. This can be access by right clicking on the 'Indexing' node in the VAC, and launching it from the pop-up menu, then clicking on 'Change Location':
Starting off
This wizard has some great information in it to help you with the process, so if you are not familiar with doing this, or haven't done it in a while, read through it, and even look at the 'More info':
Adding Archives
The first thing to do is to add one or more archives. In this example I'm just doing one large (ish) archive.
We can start the process by clicking on 'Add'. A fantastic screen then lets us filter and find the archive(s) that we want to work on.
When you click on OK your selected archives are shown:
And you can then move to the next step of the wizard:
Choosing the new location
I have setup some new locations on an extra disk on my server, and I want to move the index volumes for this particular archive to D:\EVIDX2\Index8, so that's what I select in the wizard:
When you move on you are nearly at the end of the wizard, but take note here on this page.
Additional Settings
There are two possibilities -- one is that you have already moved the data, and you then need to select the checkbox shown below, and the other is that you still need to move the data. This time around I've not moved the data, so I'm leaving the selection as is.
Helpful info
You are then presented with information on what you need to copy:
And finally the last screen.
Wizard Summary
This summary page contains the last bit of the steps that you need to follow:
And you then click on Create Task to start the process.
Monitoring - finishing
What you should notice in the monitoring task wizard is that the move of the data is 'waiting'. This means that you have to do the manual step of copying the data. And then you can right click, like I have, and indicate that you have done the move - this will progress the task:
A minute or so later, and you should see that the task completes with no errors.
As always one of the final tests that I nearly always do is to right click on the archive in the VAC, and do a wildcard search to return all the rows for the index related to the archive. It should work!

Anybody who organises concerts or publishes, reproduces, performs, broadcasts or otherwise disseminates music is automatically a client of SUISA's. Even the owner of an aerobic studio who plays music during lessons is a client. Anybody using music publicly needs a licence and is therefore a client of SUISA's.
If you use music in private, i.e. within a small circle of family and friends, you do not need a licence. All other uses are considered public uses and require a licence from SUISA. The organiser is responsible for obtaining the licence for public use.

Through reciprocity agreements with over 100 sister societies worldwide, SUISA manages the rights of 2 million right-holders. SUISA employs 200 people in its offices in Zurich, Lausanne and Lugano.

"Setting a course for e-government"
A citizen-centric monarchy? There's an oxymoron. At least that's what I thought before recently attending an international e-government conference in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The conference featured 20 speakers from around the world lecturing prominent Arab government officials on all facets of electronic government.
The crown prince of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, is leading his portion of this friendly and modern country into the Information Age. He has mandated that Dubai will incorporate e-government by October to better serve its citizens. To accomplish that, he is building an "Internet City" complex that will be the only Web-hosting data center between Europe and Singapore.
As governments shared stories about moving to e-government, the similarities of their approaches and obstacles were amazing. "To move to e-gov, there must be a vision, approach to delivery, technology, community outreach,, security and cyber laws," said Salem Khamis al Shair, director of e-services for the Dubai government. He summarized these goals:
Vision—It must be lucid with achievable goals. There is a need for key performance indicators to measure progress. Approach to delivery—The driving force behind the e-government project should be the need for improving quality of services, increased ease of use and customer care. Customer-centric delivery of services—The design and channels used should suit the needs of the customer. It is imperative to collaborate and have an active partnership with the private sector and learn from business about customer service. Technology—Standards must be established for uniformity of services. Community outreach—"This project has to be marketed to government employees, the public and even outside our country," he said. "We have to let the world know what we have to offer because our drive is to bring in business and tourism." Security—Systems must be secure to ensure continuous availability of services and protection of information. Cyber laws—Laws should be developed ac-cording to the needs of e-governing. The process has to be gradual, but the laws must comply with international guidelines developed under the United Nations. Joiwind Ronen of the Council for Excellence in Government, a private group that promotes improved performance by government and that helped sponsor the conference, made the final point. "[Governments] do not have to accomplish this move to e-gov alone," he said. "Governments, private industry, academia and not-for-profits need to continue to partner, sharing best practices and lessons learned."
Conference organizer Gulfnet CE plans to make the conference an annual event. Who knows? Maybe this worldwide e-government movement will next time feature people from Libya or Iran as the keynote speakers on citizen-centric e-gov. There is hope.
Molaski was chief information officer at the Transportation Department from 1999 to 2001 and is now a principal at the Council for Excellence in Government.

Past Performance Compliance Improving but Far from PerfectTweet
August 12, 2014
The federal government is getting better at reporting contractor past performance information but still falls substantially short of White House benchmarks, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
Having timely and accurate information about contractor performance on past contracts ensures the government does business only with responsible vendors with a track record of providing quality goods and services on time and within budget. The GAO found that, although agencies are improving their compliance with past performance reporting requirements, the rate of compliance varies widely and falls short of goals set by the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP). In March 2013, the OFPP outlined annual past performance reporting compliance targets, with the expectation that all agencies would achieve 100 percent compliance by the end of fiscal year 2015. However, the GAO found that compliance rates at the 10 largest contracting agencies as of April 2014 ranged from 13 percent to 83 percent, with an overall rate of 49 percent.
While these results make next year's goal of 100 percent compliance seem like a pipe dream, the GAO found they are a dramatic improvement over April 2013, when compliance rates ranged between 3 and 76 percent and the overall rate was just 32 percent. All of the agencies improved over the past year. Proportionally, the largest gains in compliance were made by the Department of Veterans Affairs, which improved from 4 percent to 25 percent; the State Department, which improved from 3 percent to 15 percent; the General Services Administration, which improved from 3 percent to 13 percent; and the Department of the Interior, which improved from 15 percent to 51 percent. Even the largest contracting agency, the Department of Defense, raised its compliance rate from 76 percent to 83 percent. But the obvious fact remains: if the GAO findings are academic grades, 8 of the 10 federal agencies—and the government as a whole—are failing badly.
Much has been done over the years to improve the collection and sharing of federal contractor past performance information, but systemic obstacles remain. For example, in reporting earlier this year on the botched contract to create the HealthCare.gov website—awarded to CGI Group despite a troubling past performance history—The Washington Post caught the government admitting that "past performance has long been an overlooked component of federal contracting." On the HealthCare.gov contract, the Post revealed that contracting officials ranked past performance fifth in importance out of seven factors. In addition, the GAO found compliance is also being hindered by workforce shortages at the agencies.
The Project On Government Oversight was disappointed that the GAO did not address the government's refusal to publicly release contractor past performance evaluations. POGO has repeatedly argued that releasing this information will improve efforts to hold contractors accountable. Doing so seems like a no-brainer, given that much contractor performance data is already made public in judicial opinions and bid protest decisions.

Midnight Sunby Elwood Reid
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The best I can say was that I went to Alaska to build houses on an army base with my buddy Burke. We'd been chasing the buck together for two years, jobbing up and down the coast, never staying in any one place too long. All that mattered was the work, the coin and those brief moments just after punch-out when I walked back to my truck, bone tired and feeling like a king for having laid it down yet another day.
I was in love with Alaska--the trees and mountains; the rivers without end full of dying salmon and the grizzly bears ready to pounce on them. Everybody was searching for something--whacked-out Vietnam vets waiting for war, Christians praying for the rapture, hippies looking for paradise, strippers rolling dirty bills in their garters, backpackers trekking for that last untouched place. All this put to the soundtrack of sled dogs howling for winter from the back of pickup trucks.
And then there were the wolves--wolves that circled in packs where the roads ended and the maps became blank spaces.
This was the interior, not the sea-struck coast with its mild winters, but the vast middle where winters came early and hard--seventy below and dark by noon. Fairbanks, the Golden Heart of Alaska, former boomtown, now a flat, unremarkable grid of Native American gift shops, pipeyards, bars tricked out to look like log cabins, pull-tab parlors and dusty liquor stores.
The summers were long shadow-filled things. People wandered around, hungover from too much sun and not enough sleep. By June the Alcan was clogged with convoys of fat tourists in overpriced RVs chasing the last of the midnight sun, stuffing themselves at salmon bakes in between trips to Denali, Circle Hot Springs and dramatic reenactments of Robert Service poems at the Malamute Saloon. Locals dragged dead salmon through the bar and told bear stories to the RV crowd hoping to mooch drinks, while the midnight sun lasted. It was one big show until winter came.
I don't know what Burke wanted or what he thought was at the end of it all. He was a tall, thick-chested man with blunt hands and deep work-haunted eyes; a journeyman who could walk beam dead drunk and drive nails with one swat. His face was scuffed and worn from bar fights and outdoor labor. When he spoke he made fists with his hands and jabbed his chin, daring someone to take a swing. There was nothing soft or false about him, just the dogged pursuit of the physical. He lifted weights, skied, hiked, fished and taught himself obscure things by poring through old books on knots, blacksmithing, beekeeping and metallurgy--anything he thought the common man might have forgotten. He was impossible to know, but I caught glimpses--small snatches of what made him tick, usually after too many beers or shots of bourbon. But then I was too far gone to put the pieces together and I'd wake the next morning knowing I'd forgotten something.
Burke always held the fact that I'd had a little college over me. I quit one morning after taking stock of the giggling, backpacked horde and realizing that I was hip-deep in a shallow pond. I felt like a fraud. Maybe it was some midwestern inferiority complex or perhaps it was the suburbs--but I felt soft and useless. I was smart, but not that smart. Women found me easily resistible. My hands were pale and unscarred and except for being tall everything about me screamed average.
I'd been in exactly one fight my entire life and lost--got my face rearranged by some frat boy. For some reason this began to eat at me. I reasoned that in ten years I'd be married, worried about money and what school to send my kids to or what color Volvo I should buy. Did I want leather seats? Cell phone? It was like looking slow death in the face and saying, "Okay, I'd like a piece of that." The alternative was to sit and do nothing or worse, belly up to the treadmill and get taken.
One benefit of my underwhelming mediocrity was that I had options.
I could fight back. Or I could fail miserably at something and live in the shadow of that failure the rest of my life.
What I needed most was a temporary fix, a reprieve from the ruin and doom I saw coming if I stayed my pleasant course of college. So I tried karate and couldn't get past the bowing and black belt crap. Boxing was no better. Got my nose broken by some old Croatian guy who said I punched like a fag. Several guys I knew had nutted out and joined the marines. But that was too obvious. I wanted to be blindsided and led down some dark extraordinary alley, where I might carve out a life.
So I took a job hauling lumber and running errands for the foreman on a housing development, figuring that at the very least the job would toughen me up if not force me to find something better. My old man pissed and moaned about how I wasn't realizing my potential, wasting my life and selling myself short. But the pay was good and it wasn't school. I got up every morning and knew my job. Hit a nail and you'll know what I mean. There was an art to it and there were times when just setting nails into wood seemed a deep and important thing to do. I liked coming home smelling of pine boards, my palms stained with nail grease and tired in a way that seemed real.
Five years later I was a carpenter with a belt full of tools and a late-model Ford F-150. The soft college kid my old man wanted was buried under calluses and thick slabs of job muscle. I hit the road and headed west through Great Falls, Portland and Seattle, working jobs until they were done. I learned to walk away and leave everything behind--the long hours, the accidents and near accidents, foremen getting in my face, the nail-shooting contests--and move on to the next job where empty foundations waited like graves to be filled and built upon and then abandoned for families or factories. Either way it didn't matter because I was letting it roll. Jobs. Friends. Life.
It was honest work. Clock in, clock out and don't think about it in between. And I liked it. I figured that as long as I didn't let the job break me, I could stave off the creeping softness that attacked men and forced them indoors to wait out the end of their dreams.
Most jobs were populated by zombies and God squadders who did what they were told and were easy to let go when the work ran out. The Christians chalked up the hard-luck nature of the job to the will of God while the zombies, drunks and ex-cons received the frequent layoffs and freak accidents as proof that it was a cold and cruel world out there. I didn't believe in much of anything; God, country, dead Elvis and I'd read enough books to know that if you stared hard enough at anything it would turn into crap. Nothing lasts forever. Everybody dies--cue the tiny violins.
"The book starts fast and cool....In taut, well-sculpted prose, Reid expertly evokes end-of-the-road Fairbanks....[The] extended climax...features expected deaths and panicked rushing through the woods: it's almost badass Keystone Kops meet Blair Witch. Then and earlier, several characters are banged hard in the head; that's what faithful readers will feel like." Publishers Weekly
With the publication of his acclaimed first novel If I Don't Six, Elwood Reid established himself as a young writer with an uncommon gift for peering into the hearts of blue-collar men. Now, Midnight Sun confirms Reid's status as one of the most talented young writers working today.
Jack is a journeyman in his late twenties who finds himself pink-slipped at the end of summer. With a secure job waiting for him in Texas, Jack allows his best friend to talk him into accepting ten thousand dollars from a dying Fairbanks man to travel into the northern wilderness and rescue his daughter from a millennial cult. The journey quickly goes awry, and they stumble into the cult compound only to find themselves in grave physical danger. Here is a taut and gripping tale in the tradition of James Dickey's Deliverance and Jim Harrison's A Good Day to Die.
Jack, the gritty narrator of this dark, gripping novel by Elwood Reid, is a journeyman carpenter in his late twenties whose travels have led him to Alaska. When his pink slip arrives at the end of summer, he allows himself to be talked into an unusual job. Along with his best friend, Burke, Jack accepts ten thousand dollars from a dying Fairbanks man to travel into the northern wilderness and rescue his daughter from a cult.
It doesnt take long before their trip begins to go awry, and things only get worse once they reach the cults camp, where they are received with a hostility that quickly turns violent. Jack soon realizes that Burke knows more than he lets on about their mission and he finds himself on his own, desperately seeking a way out of the camp. Taut, riveting, and complex, Midnight Sun is an arctic Deliverance, a literary thriller set deep in beautiful but dark and indifferent Alaskan woods.

Monday's Question of the Week
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 12-08-2003 - 2:16pm
Good Monday Ladies! How many of us are here today? Hope this question will elicit some responses from regulars and newbies and lurkers alike-- here goes...
What's on your Christmas List for this year? Do you give out specific lists to family or do you let them take their liberty with your presents? Do you exchange gifts with your spouse? Tell us what's on your list this year!
As for me, I've got the Dixie Chicks Live CD on my list, as well as some new picture frames, a couple of parenting books and the Pirates of the Carribean DVD.
|Mon, 12-08-2003 - 9:18pm
**Some goodies I had planned for my earnings from a translation job: "Princess Diaries" video, Rebecca St. James' "Pray" CD (missed that one between "God" and "Transform"), and a CD/MP3 player. I also saw a couple Star Trek books tonight (while shopping for my parents). But really, I'd be happy with Christmas wishes and no presents. (Just chocolate! ;) )
Do you give out specific lists to family or do you let them take their liberty with your presents?
**They usually hear some of my wish list in the month or two before Christmas, though they usually just find something that reminds them of me. This year, I know I'll get my first three wishes 'cause I already have the money set aside for them. :)
Do you exchange gifts with your spouse?
**Yes. I'm not sure what to get hubby yet, but I'm sure I'll think of something!
Becca :)

We definitely had a good stay at the Crown Plaza New Orleans. We barely spent anytime in our room, but to sleep and dress. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great to heal my sore muscles from all the walking I did during the day. Housekeeping was super great! The ladies we had on the 4th floor went above and beyond! Jessica, a member of the staff was so nice and pleasant when I encountered her and she went out of her way to be helpful. Customer service at its best. Leah was also very nice and helpful upon check in. Nice hotel and very convenient to I-10. We would definitely stay again!

18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
main index
A camera movement along the camera z-axis, toward or away from the subject. Usage: "Dolly in", "Dolly out". Refers to a wheeled cart to which the camera is mounted. Replaced in almost all video production by the smooth-operating power zoom lens. However, zooms and dollys look and feel different. Combine both in opposite directions for the Vertigo Effect. The term can also refer to any motion parallel to or around the subject, though this is more properly known as a truck, also managed at one time with a camera mounted on a wheeled cart running along a small railroad-style track. Today, many of these shots are handled with a Steadicam instead, but there are still uses for the traditional tracked dolly. See also Orbital Shot.

Sigma Theta Tau International/Doris Bloch Research Award
Karen Fishe, RN, APN, NNP-BC, PhD in Nursing student, was awarded the prestigious Sigma Theta Tau International/Doris Bloch Research Award, honorary society for nursing. This grant will support her dissertation research titled: "Impact of Maternal Childhood Adversity on the Psycho-Neuroendocrine-Inflammatory Profile During Pregnancy." The Doris Bloch Research Award was established through Sigma Theta Tau International to encourage nurses to contribute to the advancement of nursing through research. Karen's project will investigate the relationship between exposure to childhood adversity and how this exposure impacts the psychosocial-neuroendocrine-inflammatory profile of women during pregnancy. She will also evaluate maternal risk and protective factors posited to modify stress vulnerability and newborn outcomes. This bio-behavioral project is significant, as it will provide important insight regarding the impact of maternal childhood adversity on stress vulnerability during pregnancy, and upon the biological pathways by which childhood adversity compromises maternal-fetal well-being. The study findings will contribute to evidence-based screening of pregnant women to identify those most vulnerable for greater prenatal stress, depression, and anxiety that portends poor birth outcomes. Finding ways to improve mother-infant health outcomes will not only positively impact health of the newborn, but also health over the lifespan, as research now identifies early life experiences to strongly influence adult health. As a nurse scientist who will be trained to incorporate biological outcomes in her research, Karen plans to disseminate her research findings to improve clinical practice, as well use the evidence generated as a vehicle to advocate for policy change to advance maternal-infant health. Dr. Linda Janusek, Professor and Niehoff Endowed Chair for Research, is Karen's mentor and dissertation advisor.
