Release Notes
Ambra 3.0 will be a major upgrade to our publishing platform. It is currently serving some but not all of our site pages – you can see which version serves which pages by the version numbers in the footer. The Ambra 3.0 codebase is temporarily private while PLOS finalizes some licensing decisions and develops it to full feature-completeness. Look for it to be published soon as an open-source upgrade to our existing, open-source Ambra 2.* offering.

Before he was sentenced to 40 years in prison, a freshly convicted child rapist was eviscerated by a Circuit Court Judge.
"The way you treated (these children) is despicable beyond all decency," Judge Doyet A. "Jack" Early sternly told the guilty man in front of him. "You don't deserve to be out in society. To me, it is just despicable. I think you are in complete denial, sir."
Found guilty of 28 charges of routinely raping three girls, as young as 4, over more than two decades, Harold B. Cartwright III will serve a 30 year sentence for 27 of the criminal sexual conduct with a minor, criminal sexual conduct and lewd act charges. Once that is completed, he will begin a 10-year sentence for a second degree criminal sexual conduct charge.
Early's claims Cartwright was in denial came after he continued to deny the actions of which 12 of his peers found him guilty of, beyond a reasonable doubt.
"Yes, sir. I'm not guilty, sir," Cartwright said. "I understand you found me guilty." Cartwright continued to argue evidence in the case until Early cut him off.
"I'm not the finder of the facts ... but I found (your victims) to be believable, most believable. Most credible. And, I found your testimony to be uncredible, most uncredible. Terrible," Early said with emphasis.
The three-day case was prosecuted by Assistant Solicitors Kevin Molony and Ashley Agnew.
"Truly, its about the, now grown, women," Molony said after the trial concluded. "They finally get a chance to try to move on with their lives. They finally get some justice. Years and years of torture is what they dealt with … the jury definitely got it right."
In his closing statement, Molony urged the jury to focus on the specifc, detailed recollections of the victims and to contrast those with the "ridiculous stories" of the defendant.
"The details, these are the details. You don't make these things up. (One victim said) she was sexually abused, in the computer room, under the desk, by the victim," Molony said. "Hitting my toe on the coffee table with a knife to my throat – the details. They told you the details."
The courtroom had to listen to the victims describe the attacks in sensory detail again, as the jury asked to hear certain testimony again to clarify timelines in the charges. The charges were dated from 1989 until 2011.
The sentences are for no-parole offenses, so 48-year-old Cartwright must serve a minimum of 34 years in prison before he is eligible for release.
Early took time after sentencing to thank all involved in the case for their efforts.
"To my jury, I commend you," he said. "It's difficult to come in here and hear these facts"
"I commended the defense attorneys, Mr. Routzong, Mr. Hayes you did an excellent job ... a credit to the Bar." he said. "The Solicitor's office prepared the investigation thoroughly. And I commended the Sheriff's Office for a thorough investigation. Something we need more of in this state."
Michael Routzong and Dave Hayes, both of the Aiken County Public Defender's office, defended Cartwright.
Afterward, there was a great sense of relief from the victims and their family members. As the first guilty verdict was read out, the youngest victim sobbed, closed her eyes, laid her head on the shoulder of a victim's advocate and hugged her.
Exiting the courthouse, one victim remarked to another, "Don't you just feel about 100 pounds lighter?"
This was the second trial for Cartwright. In his first trial, a mistrial was declared when the jury remained deadlocked.

Mostly Cloudy

To The Editor:
I would like to clarify several points as they relate to an article in last week's paper titled "Duxbury to hold special town meeting." At Town Meeting in March, the select board, in response to voter sentiments, committed to return to a replacement plan for town vehicles based on an eight- to nine-year rotation schedule. We opted against the purchase of a new truck in 2012 due to the uncertainty of where we stood on reimbursements for storm damage in 2011. Our oldest vehicle is a 2000 tandem and we have currently slated it for replacement in 2013 at an estimated cost of $150,000 to 200,000. Additionally, the town voted at Town Meeting to use $50,000 from the Capital Reserve Budget for vehicle repairs and equipment purchases this year; so far we have expensed or encumbered approximately $35,000 of that amount.
The closure of the town's gravel pit is not as a result of the diesel fuel release in April. The gravel pit was found to be in violation of its Act 250 permit issued when the property was purchased approximately 12 years ago. The permit called for a three-phase operation of the pit with no more than one phase being in use or open at a time. Once exhausted that phase would be closed and reclaimed. Unfortunately, as a transition in select board members took place over the years, there was a lapse in the transfer of the monitoring, reporting and adherence requirements of the permit. We are currently in the process of formulating a plan, under the direction of Grenier Engineering, to put the pit back into compliance with our permit. At this moment, we have no idea what this will cost.
The plan offered by the town treasurer is one the town's auditor has offered in several meetings and is proffered on the assumption our expenditures remain static; such is not the case. The result of our commitment to making 2012 a rebuilding year, the required town share for the Pollander culvert repair grant, the required repair to River Road, a commitment to providing our highway department with dependable, reliable equipment on a sound replacement schedule and the uncertainty of the gravel pit rehabilitation we believe negate this option. We believe that the articles and actions we propose are financially sound, prudent and in the best long-term interest of the town.

Somewhat related to my last post on challenging the drs...
I'm wrestling a bit with deciding where the line is betwen paranoia and valid concern. From the feedback I've received from my first post, combined with reading many (perhaps too many) of the posts and stories on this site I am starting to become more concerned. I suppose this is good in that it keeps me checking BP twice a day, even when less convenient and nothing seems to be changing much - but it is also making me want to question our OB why not this or that course of action - even though the only thing that has really changed since our last appt is my discovery of this site and getting a bit more info (good and bad).
I also don't want my paranoia to infect my wife (I can deal with the stress myself, but I don't want to add it to hers). We are a good team - our relationship is very strong so she already has picked up on my heightened concerns.
Seems that maybe I've gotten just enough knowledge to be dangerous...
Hindsight will make it all much clearer once everything is behind us - but of course it's too late then to affect any change.
Thoughts? other dads out there reading this forum have suggestions on dealing with this?
Thanks in advance for your comments and support!

Discovering and exploiting the unique properties of materials are essential to the creation of advanced energy systems. ORNL has one of the nation's most comprehensive materials research programs, which positions the lab to lead American initiatives in clean energy, national security, and industrial competitiveness.
For instance, lightweight materials are fundamental to the future of transportation and in other energy-related arenas. By creating new polymer composites with novel properties, ORNL is ushering in a new era of vehicles in which lighter fleets consume less fuel yet are far safer than today's cars, trucks, airplanes, and ships. And by exploiting materials that exhibit unique magnetic and electric properties, ORNL is helping the country move toward a new age of electronics in which devices such as cellular phones and tablets could exceed current data storage by a factor of housands, making all the data on an iPhone fit in a device the size of your pupil. Other lab initiatives include understanding and manipulating materials at the nanoscale—about the size of a water molecule—and materials that could increase the efficiency and reliability of systems for power generation, storage, distribution, and use, such as batteries.
ORNL's materials leadership is supported by user facilities including the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences, Shared Research Equipment Collaborative Research Center, Spallation Neutron Source, and Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility.

It took some time, but the students at Mount Pleasant Academy finally have reusable lunch trays. The school invites everyone to join them in celebrating this and other green accomplishments.
Mount Pleasant Academy's second annual Green Day is 9 a.m.-noon Saturday at the school, 605 Center St.
The event is a celebration of the school's environmental initiatives for the community and will have nutrition, gardening and compost education, local environmental educators, a climbing wall, kids yoga and other hands-on activities.
Each student has created an environmentally themed painting that will be sold to raise money for the art department and the Green Fund. Money from this fund goes to environmental education programs for the students.
Last year, the school switched from hard foam lunch trays to reusable ones. This cut down on waste, and the school was even able to downgrade the size of the Dumpster. This saved the county $4,470 last year in waste disposal fees paid by the Charleston County School District.
Ansara Piebenga, Mount Pleasant Academy parent and Green Committee co-chair, said it took years for the school to get through the red tape to get reusable trays, but she said the students and staff persevered because it was something they were passionate about.
Bronwyn Santos, also a parent, is Piebenga's co-chair who works for Charleston County Environmental Management.
Piebenga said they initially raised money for the new trays, but the Charleston County School District stepped in and funded them.
This week is also Green Week for the school. Students will weigh their garbage and sort it for trash, recycling and compost to find out how much of an impact it has on the environment.
Piebenga said she hopes sorting is something the school can adopt in the future.
There are also an essay contest and door-decorating contest.
Piebenga said the students are receptive to the green initiatives. She said they were excited to collect juice pouches to recycle and raise money for the school.
"It's so important. They're the future. The more we can educate them at a young age, the more they can appreciate the environment. There's such amazing beauty in South Carolina," Piebenga said.
The school also overlooks a marsh, so they tie that into lessons.
"We teach them about their ecosystem, and they will want to protect it so it will be here for their children," Piebenga said.

I had HELLP 18 months ago and just had my gall bladder taken out yesterday. I can attest that the pain in both instances is exactly the same and excruciating! I can now understand why they thought I had gall bladder trouble 18 months ago when I had HELLP (tests on the gall bladder at that time revealed nothing).
A few weeks ago, I woke up in the middle of the night, every night for a week, with right upper quadrant back pain and epigastric pain. My first thought was, oh no, how could this be HELLP again, I'm not even pregnant! At first they thought I had a nasty ulcer(s), but after those drugs didn't work, they did further tests. That showed I had multiple gall stones, and the blockage they were causing to the bile duct resulted in this horrific pain.
I hear that both gall bladder attacks and HELLP pain is worse than labor. I hope I can vouch for that someday! A full term labor birth someday would be blissfully sureal...
I'm so glad I got this out of the way now before we became pregnant again. Whew!

Summerville Police arrested a Moncks Corner man last week for an alleged pharmacy robbery.
Michael Chester, 20, of Moncks Corner was arrested in connection to an 1120 North Main St., Summerville Walgreens robbery. Chester is charged with strong-armed robbery.
According to police, a man walked into Walgreens on April 16 at about 6:20 p.m., went to the pharmacy and said he was robbing it of two types of prescription drugs.
The pharmacy technician told the pharmacy manager that the store was being robbed. The manager handed over the bottles as the suspect apologized and exited the store.
The suspect entered the store, went to the restroom then walked to the pharmacy counter. The suspect told the pharmacist technician, "I'm sorry to have to do this to you but you have two minutes to give me Opana and Oxycodone."
The pharmacy technician said while speaking to the pharmacy manager the suspect was counting down the two minutes aloud. The manager grabbed an open bottle of 5mg Opana (10 tablets) and open bottles of Oxycodone – one 30mg (27 tablets) and another 20mg (27 tablets), according to the report.
The manager gave the bottles to the suspect when he was at the 30-second mark in the countdown. The manager told police the suspect kept his left hand in his pocket as though he was holding a weapon.
The suspect told the manager he was "really sorry" before leaving the building, according to the report.
An employee of a nearby pizza restaurant told police she saw a male matching the description walking with a brown paper bag in hand from the backside of Walgreens on Bear Island Road toward Sheep Island Road, according to the report.

Gaddis is National Board Certified in Special Education, holds a master's of teaching in special education from the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, and earned a master's in school administration from Appalachian State University.
Gaddis is currently the lead teacher and chair of the Special Education Department at Starmount High School, she has served students with disabilities for eleven years under the following teaching and administration licenses: EC general curriculum (Birth-21), high school English (9-12), EC math (K-12), EC science (K-12), EC English (K-12), EC social studies (K-12), and school administration.
As the Credit Recovery Coordinator for Starmount High School since 2007, her role in raising the graduation rate from 77.2 percent that year to its peak of 86.2 percent in 2011 has been integral.

Firefighter denies arson chargeOctober 16,2013Firefighter denies
arson charges
A Brandon firefighter denied in court that he set his car on fire to collect the insurance and avoid costly repairs, according to court documents.
Jeremiah M. Shaw, 31, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to felony charges of arson in the third degree and defrauding an insurer by means of arson, as well as a misdemeanor count of insurance fraud.
No bail was set for Shaw, who appeared in court on a citation. He was released on conditions, including that he not contact, harass or enter the home or workplace of the Brandon firefighters who were called to extinguish a fire in Shaws 2006 Ford Freestyle.
The fire department was called to Franklin Street on Aug. 12, where they quickly doused flames in the back seat of Shaws car, according to Brandon Police Officer Benjamin Herrick.
Firefighters at the scene told police they thought the blaze was suspicious and an investigation by Vermont State Police indicated that some foreign substance had been found in the area where the fire started.
Shaw initially denied setting the fire. But Herrick said that in an interview with police Shaw eventually admitted to causing the fire because the vehicle needed $1,300 in repairs.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

Want to wish everyone a safe and great weekend.
and also a happy happy Birthday to Stephen. May your days be long
upon this earth.
Rained today again. We haven't seen much sun lately. You could send some sun and
warm weather for us Spidey. I hate autumn. Winter is OK since snow it's beautiful and
if it's not too cold I can spend some time to do outside chores. But who wants to
be outside when it rain all the time. Yuck. I hope for better weather this weekend.
Hope all is feeling well or getting better soon.
Stay safe and be careful my friends.
((all in need or not))

Woohoo, it's officially Friday evening here so think I may open a bottle of vino and toast Uncle Stevie's birthday. Not that I need an excuse.
I saw my doctor today for my bad cough/chest and I'm now back on antibiotics as he thinks the infection deep in my lungs still hasn't fully cleared. If it's no better after a week he wants to send me for further investigations so hopefully I will be on top of the world again soon!
Anyhoo, enough about me...hope everyone else is doing well. Have a great weekend folks, ta~ta now.
*wanders in for a cup of tea and a cinnamon bun with cream cheese icing*

Good morning!
Lady Pain, welcome home.
I've got a sick little girl today, going to keep her home from school. I'm not feeling so great myself.
Hubby's work told them over the weekend that the hour cuts are not looking likely now, they are getting too many trains in. So that's good news!
Wishing everyone a great Monday, sending healing vibes to all who need them and big hugs too!

Belfort confident he'll be granted TRT exemption, says 'everyone is using during camp'
Even knowing this, Belfort is expecting that his request for an exemption will go just fine, as he told Globo. Here are the quotes as translated by Bloody Elbow translator Fernando Arbex:
For sure I'm confident. It's my treatment. The UFC and the doctors are already working on it to make things right. I don't believe that it is going to be a problem. It's not something from my head, it's a medical issue.
The big problem are the people who abuse in a general way. They use without the right for it, to cheat. I'm the only guy who is rigorously tested in gaps of 15 days, as Dana White said. When the UFC don't do the test, I do it myself. It's my treatment. The cool thing is to be fine with your conscience, to know that you are playing fair.
Belfort didn't stop there, he is now angry enough that he says he plans to demand more testing for his opponets and also basically claims that everyone in the sport is cycling on and off drugs during camp:
I'll start asking for one thing the UFC. All those who fight against me are always complaining. But I have one thing to say: why they are not tested during the preparation for the fight? The thing is that many guys use doping during their camps to improve recovery and such. During my camp I'm thoroughly tested. I will now ask for Dana White to test all those guys who fight against me and keep talking. The same way that my blood is tested, must test their blood to see if they are not cheating. Many use products that we know, they know that they are mocking and they are talking about me. But in reality, everyone is using during the camp. Get there on time and piss when already out of his body. I do not. I am obliged to draw blood during my camp and after the fight. They do not have to draw blood, it's just pee. Then all the guys who will fight me should do the test with me. Let's see if their hormones are straights or if they are using an illegal substance. We know that there are a lot of cheating out there. They abuse during the camp. I'm a proper man. Let me take the exam. I will be tested , and they will not be tested?

Texas A&M's Kyle Field redevelopment project has taken another big step forward.
Chancellor John Sharp announced Friday that Manhattan-Vaughn Construction has won the bid to be the construction partner for the Kyle Field Project. Previous projects by Manhattan-Vaughn include the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, and Reliant Stadium in Houston. It will begin work with Populous Architects in development of a conceptual design for Kyle.
The final design recommendation will be presented to A&M President R. Bowen Loftin for approval, and the Board of Regents for a final vote next year. Sharp said there is a lot of excitement surrounding this project.
"It is going to be breathtaking," Sharp said. "It is going to be the finest sports stadium that exists in this state with a lot more suites and with a lot more pageantry. I don't think it is going to be just good, I think it is going to be a stunning place that everybody who wears the same kind of jewelry as I do, the Aggie Ring, is going to be very, very proud of."
Sharp says he is very optimistic A&M home games will be played at Kyle Field during reconstruction. The re-building is expected to begin after the last A&M home game in November of next year's football season. Total project cost is expected to range from $425-450 million.
