Testimony concluded Tuesday in the trial of Paul J. Bennett, a boater accused in the deaths of two Buford boys on Lake Lanier.
Bennett, 45, has been in Hall County Superior Court in Gainesville since Nov. 4 to stand trial on homicide charges in the June 18, 2012, incident, where his fishing boat collided with a pontoon carrying 13 people — four adults and nine children. Jake Prince, 9, and Griffin Prince, 13, were killed on impact.
Bennett faces charges of eight counts of homicide by vessel, failure to render aid, reckless operation of a vessel and boating under the influence.
The prosecution has argued that Bennett was boating impaired, did not have proper lighting on his Sea Fox and evaded law enforcement in the aftermath of the crash.
His defense has said the collision was a tragic accident, but that Bennett was not boating recklessly.
Bennett's attorney, Barry Zimmerman, questioned Dr. Jimmie Valentine, a retired medical school professor who was admitted as an expert in the fields of pharmacology and toxicology.
Valentine said he thought Bennett's behavior in the early morning hours after his arrest was not indicative of intoxication.
"He was having a lot of mood swings. That's probably not unexpected given what he had gone through that evening," Valentine said.
Department of Natural Resources Ranger Mark Stephens' actions, as the officer who administered a field sobriety test and arrested Bennett, have been subject to scrutiny throughout the trial, and that was the case during Tuesday's testimony.
Stephens, in his testimony for the state, said Bennett's emotions were a "poster child" of an intoxicated person.
A second expert admitted by the defense echoed Valentine's difference of opinion from Stephens.
Phil Odom, whose experience as a law enforcement officer and expertise in accident reconstruction were touted by the defense, criticized several aspects of Stephens' initial interview and field sobriety testing.
"One of the first things Ranger Stephens told Mr. Bennett was that there had been a death of a child. To me, that is the wrong thing to do," Odom said. "I don't think there is anyone where that isn't going to upset you."
Such distress, he said, tainted the accuracy of divided attention and physical ability measures of field sobriety testing.
In contrast to physical exercises, where mental state or physical ability could impair — or assist — the tester's performance, the horizontal gaze nystagmus test is upheld as a key part of field sobriety testing. Nystagmus is an involuntary jerk of the eye caused by central nervous system depressants, such as alcohol. Stephens said Bennett failed on six out of six nystagmic indicators.
Zimmerman has said the HGN test was poorly administered and possibly disrupted by the flashing blue lights of Stephens' boat.
Bennett registered 0.14 on a breath test not long afterward, which Odom said didn't "add up."
"From what I saw in those field sobriety tests, he wasn't in that range of alcohol impairment," Odom said.
A blood test taken the morning of Bennett's arrest — although the state says it was taken at 9:30 a.m. and the defense closer to 6:30 a.m. — registered .03 blood-alcohol content.
Valentine said he considered the backward estimation of Bennett's BAC at the time of the collision to be "strictly guesswork."
A Georgia Bureau of Investigation forensic toxicologist calculated Bennett's BAC range to be between 0.165 to 0.185 through a process called retrograde extrapolation using the Widmark equation.
"To take one point in time, one blood sample in time, and try to back it up ... that's meaningless, because everyone is different," Valentine said. "We don't know what Bennett's absorption and distribution rate was."
He also said he had doubts about the data used. There was lack of a "chain of custody" of Bennett's blood sample from the time it was drawn to the time it was tested, and he harbored doubts as to the reliability of the testing device.
"I'm reminded of the saying computer experts use all the time — garbage in, garbage out," he said. "I feel like this was an inappropriate use of the Widmark equation."
Special prosecutor Amber Sowers asked both experts what they had been paid to provide expertise for the defense. At one point, lead prosecutor District Attorney Lee Darragh objected to Odom's PowerPoint, accusing the defense of improperly withholding the information from the state's inspection.
"The state has whined and complained about me not providing stuff and want me to pay for reports," Zimmerman said, outside the presence of the jury. "The state has unlimited funds, they have the GBI at their disposal, the DNR at their disposal, and they want to tell me how much money I should pay to prepare for my case."
Judge Kathlene Gosselin overruled Darragh's objection, and Odom continued his presentation.
Odom employed maps, calculations, results of collision enactments and original photos of the damage to conclude both boats shared some responsibility for the wreck, as they both should have seen the other at some point, he said.
He said he thought pontoon operator Michael Prince should have seen Bennett's red light, contrary to what DNR reconstruction expert Cpl. Shawn Elmore testified.
Elmore had said Prince would have seen both green and red navigation lights, highlighting that Bennett's green light was missing a bulb.
"In my opinion, I don't think either operator was paying the attention they should have," Odom said. "I think they flat out did not see each other."
Prince testified he would have adjusted the pontoon had he seen Bennett's boat.
Odom said in his experience investigating collisions, such was a common sentiment.
"I've worked a lot of nighttime collisions. Some of them ... very bad, some of them not so bad, but at one time, all of those operators said they did not see lights at the time of the collision," he said. "The path is so fast, so quick, every nighttime collision — 'I never saw their lights on.'"
Attorneys will make a final appeal to their version of events during closing arguments this morning.

The Olympics and royalty go back to the modern founding of the Games in the 19th century, but probably no titled type has ever excited as much anticipation as the young British royals, including Will and Kate, prepare to sprinkle their magic on the London 2012 Olympics.
As Olympic ambassadors, Prince William, his wife Catherine Duchess of Cambridge, and brother Prince Harry, will be much on display for the next two weeks after the Games open Friday. Cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie also will be carrying the flag for the British team.
Queen Elizabeth II will officially open the Games at Friday's opening ceremony, accompanied by all the senior royals and the young royals, the Associated Press reported, citing a palace announcement. Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall, will be active at early events before leaving for their summer holiday in Scotland, leaving the young royals to take the lead in cheering on the Brits.
The Telegraph quoted a unnamed palace official who said the young royals have been pumped up about the Olympics for a long time and are eager to throw themselves into promoting the Games. Will, Kate and Harry will welcome the Olympic torch relay to Buckingham Palace on Thursday, and Kate and Harry are scheduled to be at the closing ceremony on Aug. 12, as well.
Also expected at the opening ceremony are the queen's husband, Prince Philip, and her daughter, Princess Anne the Princess Royal, whose daughter, Zara Phillips, is on the British equestrian team, as both her parents were in previous Olympics.
William, Kate and Harry are scheduled to attend equestrian events to watch their cousin compete, and will hand out medals to the winners on Tuesday. The duchess will attend the gymnastics and synchronized swimming events, William will watch a Team GB soccer match, and Harry will be dropping by beach volleyball, according to the schedule.

This exercise was created for the GeographyWeb project at the University of Colorado.
Welcome to The Flood Hazards of Manitou Springs, CO. The scenic Rocky Mountain setting and quaint shop-lined streets of Manitou Springs attract many tourists each year. However, this seemingly idyllic environment poses serious risks for residents and visitors alike. When conditions are right, Fountain Creek, a major stream that flows directly through the town, may flood without warning.
This Web-based learning exercise examines the human-environment relationships of Manitou Springs, Colorado. You can learn about the settlement history and natural hazards of Manitou Springs, understand what may happen to Manitou Springs during and after a catastrophic flood event, and identify areas of the town that are at risk.
Although the ideal way to learn about Manitou Springs would be to visit the town itself, this is not a feasible option for everyone. Fortunately, this Web site can take you on a "virtual" exploration of Manitou Springs and familiarize you with many of its geographic features.
This exercise consists of three activities:
To begin, simply click on a menu item.

I'm having problems using the default xp client on some workstations.
I've put up a m0n0wall 1.231 and configured the pptp server and the
firewall. And I've tested it from a TS session from our TS-server.
But when I try to connect from any of our workstations at work, the
client says "Error: 732 The client could not agree with the server on
what PPP protocols to use"...
That's a rough translation though (from swedish).
I have that problem on all the workstations at work, but those same
workstations have no problems connecting to a windows2k3 pptp server.
However, the connection works from our Terminal Server (win2k3).
I've tried going in under "Security->Advanced" and manually select all
the available protocols (just for testing purposes). PAP, CHAP,
MS-CHAPv1 (and v2).
But nothing works.
It feels like a windows problem, but since I've not seen anything on
this mailing list about it, I thought I'd at least ask if someone
encountered something similar?

NSFW: The Most Fucked-Up Album Cover Sent to Us this Week 6/9
Metal ain't for the faint of heart, and neither is opening mail at Revolver HQ. For every free bottle of AC/DC wine and limited-edition copy of the new Soundgarden reissue we receive, we get sent promos of albums with cover art that just make us say, "Really?" Or sometimes even "Bleeeggghhh." But mostly, "Fuck, man, you gotta see this shit!"
In the spirit of that last reaction, below is the cover art of a promo sent to us this past week, for the new album, 'Acrotomophile Mutilator,' by band-whose-logo-we-can't-fuckin'-decipher. Is it Weekly? Wfeckoy? Who knows? And who even wants to know? Good luck with this direction, whatever you guys are called.

I am honoured and pleased to welcome you to the first Noteworthy, the Libraries' newsletter to our donors and friends. As you read on, you will know that we have been extremely active since we published the final edition of the University of Toronto Libraries Newsletter last fall. On reflection, I am struck by how much is being accomplished by our excellent staff to make a real difference for U of T's students, faculty, the wider community of research libraries and the many people who rely on what we do—while challenging us to do more.
The notion of being purposeful about making a difference figures throughout this edition of Noteworthy. As my first academic year at the University of Toronto concludes and my knowledge of this institution deepens, I recognize the foresight of many in U of T's past—donors, university leaders, faculty and library professionals—who imagined our libraries becoming one of the world's leading library systems.
Like previous junctures in the University of Toronto Libraries' history, the present reality calls for innovation and resolve. We are balancing demand for physical space, the influence of electronic information and the need to steward resources well in the face of profound change. Within the University's campaign, Boundless, we have identified key priorities which call for the unprecedented support of our friends. We will secure funds to create student study space within Robarts Library and the Gerstein Science Information Centre in the Sigmund Samuel Library; to form dedicated endowments for our foremost special collections; and to develop our collection—including curating and preserving "born digital" information.
The following gives context to our identified priorities. Our data is at odds with conventional wisdom that suggests library users access us remotely and have little use for physical space. Just Robarts Library alone, one of our 44 libraries, is used by as many as 14,000 people on a busy day interacting with librarians, using collections, working independently and collaborating.
On other fronts, scholars and members of the public expect increasing, comprehensive online access to knowledge resources. The costs of digital materials have come to dominate our collection investment budget, placing pressure on print acquisitions, which for many geographic regions are the most important sources of knowledge. At the same time, continuing to acquire, preserve and make available the documentary history of Canada remains a high priority. All these considerations require us to secure long-term resources for the benefit of future students and scholars.
These pages feature stories about people who are intent on strengthening our collections, our affiliations and our capacity to serve those who depend on us to preserve for the future the record of the past. I hope you enjoy reading about the innovation of staff and the support of friends that places us among the world's great libraries and makes us a Canadian treasure. As my predecessor, Carole Moore, said, "It was an audacious vision." I would be delighted to hear from you in response to Noteworthy. Thank you for your interest in the University of Toronto Libraries.

Charlotte Marcella Moriarty
Missing since June 21, 1977 from Haaula, Honolulu County, Hawaii
Classification: Endangered Missing
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance
Charlotte Moriarty and her son Marx both disappeared on June 21, 1977, leaving behind only a baby's stroller at a Haaula bus stop. Moriarty took her son out for a walk at about 9.00, and the stroller was found at 13.00 at a bus stop at 54-295 Kamehameha Highway. Marx's father filed a missing persons report on July 10, 1977, more than two weeks after he found the stroller.
In the report, he explained to police that Moriarty had been missing on several prior occasions, but she had returned home, and that he thought this incident was another one of Moriarty's leaving for no reason.
Ms. Moriarty's family believes she would never leave without contacting family and did not disappear on her own accord, as her young daughter was due to visit her the summer she went missing. The family believes that Ms. Moriarty and Marx, met with foul play.
Neither Marx nor his mother has been seen or heard from again. ***Update - In 2012 Charlotte's son was located and positively identified by DNA***

Rule restricting women's role in direct combat will be formally lifted.
"They serve, they're wounded, and they die right next to each other," Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta noted yesterday of men and women serving in the U.S. military. He spoke these words in a public announcement made with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, that the Department of Defense would rescind a 1994 rule which limited the positions women service members could hold to non-direct combat roles. "The time has come to recognize … reality," Panetta stated, noting that 152 women have died serving their country in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Secretary has directed each of the military departments to submit their plans for implementation of the directive by May 15, 2013, and he stated that implementation must be completed by January 1, 2016.

"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it."
— Norman Maclean.
In many ways all things in the mountains are more acute. They are sharper, more severe. The lines on a topographic map lie closer together — reflecting the sheerness of the terrain. Variations in temperature, and precipitation both frozen and liquid, make popular many variations of the phrase "if you don't like the weather, wait 20 minutes."
Lifestyles mix and match, or don't, in unique ways, particularly in small purportedly idyllic mountain hamlets. While perhaps not so ethnically diverse, the mountains provide a mixing bowl of views and perspectives, some softer and a bit more contemplative like the meadows of a gentle valley, but more often in my experience stridently narrow, and rigidly unadorned, like the granite face of a vertical canyon wall.
In today's economically stratified world, the geologic upheaval of earth and stone provides a metaphor for the dramatic differences in prosperity represented by the many groups who seek to make the mountains home. Industrialists, environmentalists, spiritualists, the cerebral and the emotional of all economic echelons seek purpose or escape, or both, in the high terrain.
Less and less, in these ephemeral times, do the mountains provide solitude, or solace. More and more, our mountain communities struggle with the same problems, disagreements, and heartbreak of the densely populated and geographically moderate places.
One consistent characteristic of almost every mountain community remains the river; the source, the giver of all things terrestrial. In Norman Maclean's semi-autobiographical novel, "A River Runs Through It," set in early 20th century Missoula, Mont., the river represents life; literal, metaphorical, and metaphysical.
"The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters," he wrote.
The river is time relentlessly passing. Never stopping, it concurrently carries us toward and away from the essential, the irrelevant, and everything in between. With every bend in the riverbank a new and heretofore unknown landscape emerges for our use or misuse, for us to explore with our curiosity or to exploit with our misunderstanding.
Sometimes, around the next bend, even in the idyllic mountains, the river brings us face to face with tragedy. In small communities, even death feels more severe, particularly when it manifests itself in ways that seem unfair; a loving but troubled son, two daughters yet to cross the threshold of womanhood, a maestro who enveloped our mountain valley with the beauty of his music that he cared only to make ours.
Each occurrence tears a thread from the tapestry of our intersected lives. Our connections are beautiful but fragile. Bound by our separate yet intertwined mortality, we seek grace in the material, sometimes believing that the beauty of nature, or the opportunity provided by wealth, or the benefit delivered from benevolence can provide a shortcut to personal fulfillment, even to salvation. If only salvation were so self-defined.
Compared to our mortality, the river is without end, but its ability to sustain us is not without jeopardy. It will outlast us all, which is as it should be. Ultimately our overuse of the river's generosity threatens only us.
As with us, our literal river, the Roaring Fork, does not survive alone. Its tributaries, Fryingpan, Crystal, Maroon, and Castle among others, merge and provide strength. But theirs is not the kind of strength immune to the almost imperceptibly slow degradation that comes with overuse and diversion.
Farther downstream our river merges with the indomitable Colorado, the most endangered in the United States because of our overuse. In taking life from the river, we face the need for balance. No terrestrial river can provide life if it cannot sustain itself.
In this sense, the river can, metaphorically, take many forms; it is our air, our water, our treasure, our friends, our family, our faith. Its totality is beyond mortal grasp.
Again, Maclean: "I sat there and forgot and forgot, until what remained was the river that went by and I who watched. ... Eventually the watcher joined the river, and there was only one of us. I believe it was the river."
Without the river, our lives are not impossible — our lives are elsewhere, separate and disconnected. We cease to be one; one with the river, one with the continuous chain or reliance we call humanity. Without each other, what is our purpose? We may not think of ourselves as one, in fact I am pretty sure most of us don't, but ultimately we are.
Maclean's novel, in a nod to the metaphysical, carries the tenor of a resigned faithfulness; an understanding that those things that matter most are often not meant to be understood.
"At sunrise everything is luminous but not clear. It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us. You can love completely without complete understanding."
We are the river, and the river is us. We may not understand it, or each other, but sometimes understanding is not the most important thing.

The key to the success of Cape's girls' lacrosse team is the diversity and depth of the talent pool. The pond is restocked each fall at Hudson Fields with Atlantic Lacrosse, and in the early summer there are the Eastern Shore Lacrosse Club teams open to high school players from the Delmarva Peninsula including summer kids.
The Cape team - varsity and junior varsity - under the direction of the Zen Master P.J. Kesmodel can throw and catch, and athletes know how to play unselfishly.
On April 10 at Champions Stadium the Vikings took apart the Spartans of Saint Mark's 21-4, ending the game in spread red, which means, "Don't shoot; let's work on holding the ball."
The Vikings had nine players contribute at least one assist each, highlighted by Aliie Yeager with 3 and Sarah Tappan 2, both strong girls known as finishers. Cape's first six goals in the 14-3 first half were scored by six different players.
"We have a lot of players who can score," Kesmodel said after the game. 'If we get the ball enough, we're going to score a lot of goals. Karalyn Joseph has been great on the draw, and Sarah Tappan is getting better with each game. And on defense with Sam [Broadhurst] in goal, our defenders have really come along with Linsday Voss, Taylor Gooch, Maggie Delp and Coryn Cannon. The last three teams have been kept under five goals each."
Cape was led in scoring by Anna Frederick with 5 and Sara Young 4. Karalyn Joseph, Sarah Tappan , Kat Judge and Lexi Woodruff each had 2, and single goals came from Claire Carnevale, Allie Yeager, Jordan Brown and Lizzie Frederick.
Cape outshot the Spartans 31-12. Sam Broadhurst had 6 saves while Anne White of Saint Mark's had 5.
Cape will play Wilmington Friends at 6:30 p.m., Friday, April 12, at Wesley College. The Vikings boys will follow, playing Friends at 8 p.m.
In junior varsity action, Cape defeated Saint Mark's 14-1. Sophie Kalb, Peyton Medd, Dahlyn Sugrue, Morgan Catts, Erin Coverdale, Alison Palmer and Rachel Carey all scored 2 goals. Tess Bernheimer had a single goal while Lauren Kelley had 2 assists.
Emma Holland had 4 saves in goal.

Niki Lauda says feuding Mercedes Formula 1 team-mates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg overstepped the mark with their behaviour at the Monaco Grand Prix.
The war between the pair blew up at the weekend when Hamilton felt that Rosberg had driven off the road deliberately in qualifying in a bid to secure pole position by disrupting his team-mate's lap with yellow flags.
A stewards' investigation into Rosberg's actions ruled that he had done nothing wrong, so he kept the pole position that helped him to an important win.
Fresh off the back of a row between the two drivers at the Spanish GP, when Rosberg was upset that Hamilton went against team protocol to turn his engine settings up in the closing stages of the races, relations completely broke down between the pair.
AUTOSPORT understands that the two men are no longer on speaking terms, and it was their lack of communication during post-race ceremonies that has particularly upset Lauda.
When asked by AUTOSPORT about concerns of distrust between his drivers, Lauda said: "Lewis not happy finishing second is normal, but in the end he has to accept another guy was quicker. This is very simple in racing.
"What I did not like, and I have to say, and I will tell him this on Monday, is that when you are up there [on the podium] and you don't say hello to your team-mate, which Nico has always done, that is not good.
"It's not because I am well educated, but it's for the brand Mercedes. This is something I start to worry about now, but it's easy to fix."
Hamilton conceded that the Monaco podium was the first time there had been no communication between himself and Rosberg after the race.
"We never really speak on the podium," he said. "The last four podiums I will just say well done to him, and after we would say this is unbelievable what the team has achieved.
"This weekend we didn't. But we will I'm sure in the future."
Lauda plans to talk to both drivers in the coming days to get their perspectives on the situation at Mercedes, and he is hopeful that things will be better in Canada.
"I spoke to the drivers before the race and it is not finished," he said.
"I understand all the comments and I have to wait two or three days, but before it goes to Canada it will be solved.
"I will speak to them like I always do. They always call me when they have problems, so I think it will sort itself out.
"It is normal. I had the same with [Alain] Prost. I hated the guy, but at least I said hello in the morning.
"There are certain limits and these certain limits I can reintroduce because I speak their language, the drivers' language, and they do understand me, they like me and there is no issue."

By Kaytrina Curtis, Fort Stewart Public AffairsOctober 14, 2011
FORT STEWART, Ga. - Seventeen year-old Jasmine Gilmore is $2,000 richer because she made the grades. In a small ceremony inside the Fort Stewart Army and Air Force Exchange Services main store, Gilmore was awarded $2,000 in savings bonds by Fort Stewart's Main Exchange store manager, Donald Basil, Oct. 5.
Eleven years ago, a worldwide initiative came into fruition with the Exchange "You Made the Grade Program." According to the Exchange Web site, the program was created to inspire students to make above average academic grades and to continue to work hard scholastically.
Giving back to her community is a lifelong course for Gilmore. As a Family Member and a senior at Bradwell Institute here in Liberty County, Gilmore said she plans use the money for college and attend Valdosta State University in the Fall of 2012 to study nursing.
"Growing up I was a Girl Scout… and I like helping people, so it [nursing] was my first choice," Gilmore explained.
Students must have an overall "B" average or better to participate in the program and Gilmore exceeded the requirement immensely.
"Currently, I have a 97 average," added Gilmore.
Gilmore won third place in the contest. She is the second Fort Stewart youth to win the world-wide drawing. Students can register by bringing their valid military ID and report cards to their local Exchange to enter the annual drawing.
Basil said the program is a large way for the Exchange to give back to the military connected youths who push themselves academically.
"I think it's great," said Basil. "It's a great thing for the community, and it's one of the things the exchange offers that makes us part of the community."
Each year the Exchange awards $40,000 in savings bonds to military connected students.
Three savings bonds in the amounts of $5,000, $3,000 or $2,000 are offered to participating contestants. Students who have the opportunity to participate in this contest drawing must attend a public, private or Department of Defense school or show proof of homeschooling.

It is possibly the smile her vinaigrette saw when she tasted it.
Before serving, bake the cheese packages, combine the salad and vinaigrette, and serve.
Finish with a salad of frisee, chives, parsley, tarragon and chervil lightly dressed with the vinaigrette.
To make the vinaigrette, in a pot, reduce pomegranate juice by half and let cool.
The end result will be less like vinaigrette and more like a very vinegary, thin mayonnaise.
Most likely this gentleman, by books or experience, had been enlightened as to the inefficacy of the vinaigrette.
Then I was able to look at it, and recognize it as my mother's vinaigrette.
I always thought you'd have hysterics on your wedding-day, and got my vinaigrette all ready.
I was just stopping to give Mammy my vinaigrette, to take to church with her.
Pour over some vinaigrette sauce, and sprinkle with chopped gherkins.
1690s, a type of condiment, from French vinaigrette, diminutive of vinaigre "(aromatic) vinegar" (see vinegar). Modern sense of a type of dressing for salads or cold vegetables is attested from 1877.

While Firefox is widely regarded as a huge success, Kapor warns that it is not actually the best example of the victory of open source. Instead, he suggests, the movement's main achievement actually lies out of sight – amid the systems that underpin the web itself.
"I tell people that the history of Mozilla and Firefox is so one of a kind that it should not be used – ever – as an example of what's possible," he says. "The accomplishment of open source is that it is the back end of the web, the invisible part, the part that you don't see as a user."More here.
He's also interesting on the subject of empire. I'm not sure he's entirely right though. IBM has reinvented itself. Not the monolith it used to be before Microsoft realised there was more money in software than hardware - so it's a different company now, of course, but recognisably reinvented all the same.
Not unmade and unpicked beyond recognition.
These massive corporate entities can serve to provide us with power and water and other essential utilities we clearly need on a grand scale - and can be so very useful in guaranteeing so many things. But what they guarantee - above all - is their own long-term survival. In the IT business, that means restrictive and proprietorial practices of all kinds. If the battle between proprietorial licences and open source solutions has been so fierce, it is not for intellectual reasons that this has been so.
The distortions in behaviours brought about by the immense and sometimes savage concentrations of wealth that capitalism - especially the American sort - accrue over time have played their part in allowing some people to continue acting as if monopolistic markets should be the norm.
We can only hope that the future will force both new empires like Google and those who would reinvent themselves like Microsoft to gladly take on board the lessons of open source.
Meanwhile, as far as the UK is concerned, it's time the tenets of the free culture movement moved lock, stock and barrel to our shores.
For we're not only talking about the future of IT here - but also the long-term future and health of British politics.

Glucose urine testUrine sugar test; Urine glucose test; Glucosuria test; Glycosuria test
The glucose urine test measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in a urine sample. The presence of glucose in the urine is called glycosuria or glucosuria.
Glucose level can also be measured using a blood test or a cerebrospinal fluid test.
After you provide a urine sample, it is tested right away. The health care provider uses a dipstick made with a color-sensitive pad. The color the dipstick changes to tell the provider the level of glucose in your urine.
If needed, the health care provider may ask you to collect your urine at home over 24 hours. Your provider will tell you how to do this. Follow instructions exactly so that the results are accurate.
Certain medicinescan change the result of this test. Before the test, tell your health care provider which medicines you are taking. Do not stop taking any medicine before talking to your provider.
The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
This test was commonly used to test for and monitor diabetes in the past. Now, blood tests to measure glucose level in the blood are easy to do and used instead of the glucose urine test.
The glucose urine test may be ordered when the doctor suspects renal glycosuria. This is a rare condition in which glucose is released from the kidneys into the urine, even when blood glucose level is normal.
Glucose is not usually found in urine. If it is, further testing is needed.
Normal glucose range in urine: 0 - 0.8 mmol/l (0 - 15 mg/dL)
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Higher than normal levels of glucose may occur with:
- Diabetes-- Small increases in urine glucose levels after a large meal are not always a cause for concern.
- A rare condition in which glucose is released from the kidneys into the urine, even when blood glucose levels are normal (renal glycosuria)
- Pregnancy -- Up to half of women have glucose in their urine at sometime during pregnancy. Glucose in the urine may mean that a woman has gestational diabetes.
- Renal glycosuria
There are no risks with this test.

I have pretty much banned my husband from speaking to the baby unless his mouth is near my pubic bone, lol. The idea being that baby (who does seem quite responsive to his voice) will get more firmly head-down to listen to him. I'll try anything.
Great news, hyz! My guy is head down, but I'm pretty sure he's in some kind of posterior position- I can feel his butt and back on my right side :/

According to my midwife, yes, you should not do it for insurance purposes. Mine is vertex now and has been for a long time so she said not to do anything with my head below my pelvis, so no downward dog or headstands in the pool. Not that I'm doing those anyway, though. Not sure if this helps, it's just what my midwife says.
CherryBomb, I guess I was right on both counts--you DO know more about this than I do!! I hadn't heard of all those 4 different "posterior positions". Are you saying ROA and ROT are considered posterior? I had no idea. I know LOA is supposed to be best (although my DD *was* LOA and I still had a loooong labor and almost 4 hours pushing with her, so...), but I thought ROA was nearly just as good.

Thatta, Pakistan (AFP) Aug 29, 2010
Pakistani troops and workers were on a "war footing" Sunday as they battled to save the southern city of Thatta after most of the population of 300,000 fled advancing flood waters.
Torrential monsoon rains have triggered massive floods that have moved steadily from north to south over the past month, engulfing a fifth of the volatile country and affecting 17 million of its 167 million people.
Southern Sindh is the worst-affected province, with 19 of its 23 districts ravaged as flood waters swell the raging Indus river to 40 times its usual volume.
One million people have been displaced over the past few days and hundreds of thousands have already fled Thatta alone ahead of the approaching torrents as soldiers work frantically to repair breached levees on the river.
"The water is still two kilometres (about a mile) away from Thatta where the armed forces and the local administrative workers are working on war footing to save the city," senior city official Hadi Bakhsh Kalhoro told AFP.
"The army brought a maximum of resources to try to fill up the breach. Almost all the people have left Thatta to safer places, all shops and schools are closed."
Water levels were still rising in the district, but Kalhoro said: "We are hopeful that we can save at least Thatta city in two days."
An AFP reporter said the road linking Thatta with the town of Sujawal had been flooded and closed to all vehicular traffic, while Kalhoro said an electricity grid station near Sujawal had been flooded.
The military said its engineers had repaired an important embankment in the south and were trying to protect the highway linking Thatta with the main southern city of Karachi.
The Pakistani government has been overwhelmed by the magnitude of the disaster, the worst in the country's history, with millions in need of tents, food and medical aid.
But Sindh home minister Zulfiqar Mirza said people were reluctant to go to relief camps because they feared there would not be enough supplies.
"People are not going to relief camps because they're afraid of the lack of food and medicine there," he told reporters Saturday.
"In Karachi we've set up a camp for 40,000 people, but so far not a single (displaced person) has turned up there."
Aid agencies are worried about the growing danger of malnutrition and water-borne disease, with children especially vulnerable.
Oxfam warned Sunday that reconstruction efforts must begin immediately to prevent the disaster from becoming a long-term catastrophe.
It said billions of dollars would be needed to start rebuilding schools, roads, bridges and hospitals, adding that the aid effort was struggling to respond.
The Organisation of the Islamic Conference said it would establish an office in Islamabad to help coordinate flood relief.
At the massive Kotri barrage embankment, which protects the southern city of Hyderabad, engineer Qadir Palijo said Sunday that water levels were falling.
"The water is slowly receding in Kotri but still increasing down in the south (towards Thatta). The process of recession of the water is slow but we hope the pace will increase in a couple of days," he told AFP.
Eight million people have been left dependent on aid for their survival and floods have washed away huge swathes of the rich farmland on which the country's struggling economy depends.
The government has confirmed 1,600 people dead and 2,366 injured, but officials warn that millions are at risk from food shortages and disease.
The United Nations has warned that 800,000 people in desperate need of aid had been cut off by the deluge across the country and appealed for more helicopters to deliver supplies to those reachable only by air.
A senior US official said last week that countries worldwide had pledged a total of more than 700 million dollars (554 million euros) towards flood relief in Pakistan.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Islamabad said Sunday some people had been forced to move repeatedly as the floods advanced.
"So many of the displaced have reportedly been displaced twice or more," said spokesman Maurizio Giuliano.
"The waters continue to devastate Sindh. Even without counting what is being devastated just now, 1.7 million acres of crops are lost and over 200,000 livestock died just in Sindh," Giuliano said.
"These figures are bound to rise in the coming days once more data is available from Thatta," he said, adding the World Food Programme had provided food to 2.5 million people across Pakistan.

The Embreeville thrust and street road fault: convergent tectonics in the central Appalachian piedmont, SE Pennsylvania
Bosbyshell, Howell, Department of Geology and Astronomy, West Chester Univ, 750 South Church Street, West Chester, PA 19383, Wiswall, C. Gil, Geology & Astronomy, West Chester Univ, 750 S. Church St, West Chester, PA 19383, and Blackmer, Gale C., Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey, 3240 Schoolhouse Rd, Middletown, PA 17057
Numerous models have been proposed to explain the evolution of the southeast PA Piedmont. Kinematically, these models cover the spectrum from pure dip-slip to pure strike-slip motions. Our work indicates that the early assembly of this terrane was predominantly accomplished via orthogonal convergence. The Embreeville Thrust and Street Road Fault are two key structures where this shortening was concentrated. The Embreeville thrust (ET) trends ENE and is well constrained in the Unionville, Coatesville, and a portion of the West Chester quadrangles. To the east, the thrust is apparently truncated by a fault. The westward extent of the thrust has yet to be determined. In the Unionville quadrangle, the trace of the thrust is parallel to but not coincident with the Cream Valley fault, a later, high-angle fault with transpressional kinematics. The ET emplaces amphibolite facies Doe Run schist member of the Glenarm Wissahickon over greenschist facies Peters Creek Schist. A band of muscovite-chlorite-garnet phyllite occurs between the two map units and is interpreted as the fault rock contained in the ET shear zone. The Street Road Fault (SRF) trends NE across the West Grove, Kennett Square, West Chester, and Media quadrangles. Where best exposed in the West Chester quadrangle, it places the Precambrian Avondale Massif and its cover sequence, Setters Formation and Cockeysville Marble, above Doe Run schist. To the east, where it separates the West Chester and Avondale Massifs, the SRF is not well defined but its trace is marked by a linear array of ultramafic bodies. Both shear zones are characterized by shallow southeast dipping mylonitic foliation which wraps porphyroclasts formed during peak metamorphism. Kinematic indicators show a consistent top to the NW sense of motion. Lack of cross-cutting relationships precludes establishment of the relative age of deformation in the two shear zones. However, preliminary monazite geochronology indicates that peak metamorphism in the Doe Run schist is Silurian and that fabric-forming deformation is early Devonian, providing some constraint on the absolute age of shear zone deformation.

Showbiz Sandbox 140: Nollywood Love – Inside The Booming Nigerian Film Industry
March 13, 2012
Oil rich Nigeria may be best known for political upheavals and brutal civil wars, though over the past twenty years the country has given birth to a thriving film industry. New York Times Magazine contributing writer Andrew Rice explains that what started out as a surplus of blank VHS tapes has grown into what is now called Nollywood; the world's third largest movie business. Nollywood films now suffer from the same issues faced by Hollywood and Bollywood; piracy and escalating production costs.
The budget for Disney's "John Carter" was about five thousand times that of the average Nollywood film, which is probably why a $100 million worldwide opening is seen as a bit of a disappointment. Directing his first live-action film, Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton seems to be getting most of the blame for the movie's lack of success, though it just as easily could be pinned on a studio full of senior executives that lacked experience producing big blockbusters.
Speaking of pricey failures, Fox canceled its sci-fi series "Terra Nova". Producers hope the show will be picked up by another network, though at $4 million per episode few can afford it.

Financial results for the quarter were not reported, but management has reiterated expectations for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation in the 2011 calendar year to be between $50 million and $60 million.
Linwar has maintained its $1.70 target price and "market perform" rating, noting that, surprisingly, the company's cattle heard is still close to its June historical peak, despite reports the company has shipped 20,000 head of cattle to Indonesia since the export ban was lifted, suggesting the small disparity might indicate a slowdown in sales.

iPhone: Not the Jackpot that AT&T had Hoped, Report Says
A major newspaper has recently questioned how much AT&T benefits from its exclusive carrier deal for the iPhone. It says that the network didn't get as many new customers from the deal as might be assumed, and that it has incurred heavy costs which may have taken a serious chunk out of profits.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, 60% of people with an iPhone on the network since its 2007 launch were already AT&T customers. That means the deal has only brought around four million new customers to the company: nothing to be scoffed at, but much less than the 10 million or so who own the device. (Source: wsj.com)
When it comes to the latest model of the phone, the 3GS, the percentage getting the device who are existing network customers rises to 65%, strengthening suspicions that many or even most users of the handset have upgraded from a previous iPhone.
iPhone Users Splash The Cash
It's also questionable how much those customers are worth to AT&T. The firm insists iPhone customers spend more on calls and data than any other phone owners -- almost $100 a month, in fact. However, an analyst says that other phones generate revenues close to this figure which, considering the fact that the subsidy paid to the manufacturer is lower than with Apple, makes them better value to AT&T.
There are also hefty costs for carrying the iPhone. For instance, owners of the device download Internet data at much higher rates than people owning other phones (but those on unlimited deals don't pay any extra for it). In addition, there's the additional costs of upgrading networks to cope with the extra demand. (Source: theinquirer.net)
Retention Rise
However, there are some notable benefits to AT&T. Those who joined the network specifically to get the iPhone will theoretically be worth the best part of $2,000 over the first two years (taking into account the subsidy the firm pays to Apple for the handset). And AT&T's churn rate -- the percentage of customers who leave during a given period -- has dropped slightly since 2007, from 1.7% to 1.49%. That suggests some users who might otherwise have switched networks have stuck with AT&T specifically because it has the iPhone.

May 10, 2012
Dover, DE -- Victory is at hand for one quick-skilled retailer who competed to earn the title of "Fastest Fingers" in the state of Delaware. On Thursday, May 3, 2012, The Delaware Lottery hosted its 2012 XFingers Challenge Final at the Modern Maturity Center in Dover to determine who among all licensed Delaware Lottery terminal operators can most adeptly operate lottery machines. With fifteen retailers—five from each county—entering the Finals, the Delaware Lottery crowned Shayne Edwards of the Daily Market in Lewes as the 2012 XFingers Challenge winner and leading titleholder.
A four-time XFingers champion (2012, 2011, 2008 and 2006) Edwards beat his second-place competitor by just 13 seconds and was awarded a $1,000 cash prize for having the fastest time of 1 minute and 22 seconds.
"Retailers are an essential part of the Delaware Lottery's success by helping to make lottery games fun and enjoyable for our customers," Vernon Kirk, Director of the Delaware Lottery, said. "The annual XFingers Challenge was designed to recognize and show support and appreciation for the more than 500 Lottery retailers throughout the state who play a key role in contributing to the state's General Fund. The Delaware Lottery congratulates Shayne Edwards and all participants who competed in this year's XFingers Challenge."
Retailer contestants in the XFingers Challenge are timed on how fast they can enter a variety of lottery ticket requests and transactions into a terminal, with the fastest players moving on to the finals. The quick clerk from Lewes was able to beat out hundreds (over 300 statewide) of contestants in the county-wide preliminary rounds held in April, and earn himself a grand prize total of $1,500 along the way, $1,000 in the finals and $500 in preliminaries. Each of the top five competitors in the counties won cash prizes and advanced to Thursday's championship round, staged at Dover's Modern Maturity Center.

text: Jeffrey A. JoerresThanks Mike. The first quarter was much better than what we had anticipated. It was primarily driven by the higher than anticipated revenue line. Going into the quarter, we were seeing some crepitation, as we continue to, but it turned out to be much less than anticipated. We were anticipating constant currency revenue growth of zero to 2%, and we achieved 3% for the quarter. Revenue growth in U.S. dollars was flat but also above expectation as our guidance called for a contraction between 1% and 3%. The higher than anticipated revenue was achieved across the board as the Americas, Southern Europe, Northern Europe, Asia-Pacific and Right Management, all exceeded expectations. We expected to earn between $0.30 and $0.38 with a negative impact of $0.02 per currency. In fact, we earned $0.50 with a negative impact of $0.02 per currency. Given the choppy economic environment, our success in the first quarter attribute to the team as well as the lot of hard work that had taken place prior to the quarter. It's also important to note, as you can see that, while our growth is below normal levels for this time of the recovery, we were able to achieve or leverage given even modest increase in revenue. Our operating earnings increased 14% in constant currency with our earnings per share increasing 21% over the last year in constant currency. We were able to maintain a much better hold on gross margin and continued our path towards diversifying our business and differentiating ourselves within the brands under ManpowerGroup. With that overview, I'd like to turn over to Mike to discuss the details. Mike Van Handel Okay, thanks Jeff. I will follow my typical format with some overall comments on the quarter followed by discussion of each of our operating segments, a review of our cash flow and balance sheet, and finally our outlook for the second quarter of 2012.

Transcripts & Certificates
CURRENT STUDENTS: Marks are now being entered from the summer examinations. These marks will not be official until confirmed by the examination boards. As a result, if your department has entered a mark onto your record, we cannot produce transcripts as they will show unconfirmed marks. If this is the case with your transcript, we will let you know and we will hold your request on file to be produced as soon as possible after the marks have been confirmed.
An official transcript, detailing examinations taken and results achieved, is issued automatically to all graduating students and sent to their contact addresses as held on PORTICO approximately 8-10 weeks after the awards have been ratified by the UCL Authorities. Transcripts for affiliate students are issued automatically upon the students' completion of their study at UCL and are despatched as follows: -
- JYA, Exchange and Erasmus Students – transcripts are issued to the students' home universities.
- Independent affiliate students – transcripts are posted to the students' contact addresses.
Assessment and Student Records can produce
additional transcripts for students on taught programmes as well as for affiliate students via the UCL Transcript Shop.
Transcripts are not produced for research degrees, but research students may instead obtain a Statement of Student Status from the Student Centre.
Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR)
students (excluding affiliates, MBBS and some IOE and MPharm students) who commenced their
studies in or after September 2011 will have a Higher Education Achievement
Report (HEAR) made available to them online each summer. The HEAR is an electronic transcript of your verified academic and non-degree related achievements.
New students will be invited to register for
this facility provided by our HEAR provider - Gradintel - during their first year of study and throughout their studies.
Students can share their HEAR as a secure electronic token with third parties, who can print it, via their registered Gradintel account, but it should be noted
that the printed version is no longer a verified record by UCL. Certified printed copies of the HEAR are available upon request.
For further information regarding the HEAR (including whether you are eligible), please refer to the webpage at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/hear.
|How do I request a transcript?
You can request copies of your transcript from the UCL Transcript Shop. You will be required to register with the Transcript Shop to order your transcript(s) if you have not already done so. You will receive an email to your registered email address when your transcript order has been received by UCL.
Transcripts cannot be provided for the following:
- Research Degrees - please contact the Student Centre for a statement of award;
- MBBS Pre-Clinical and Clinical Degrees - please contact the Medical School for these. If you have received an IBSc award and merely require a transcript for the IBSc Degree, this can be done via the UCL Transcript Shop;
- Transcripts for students who studied at SSEES prior to the merger in 1999 - please contact SSEES directly.
- Transcripts for students who studied at the School of Pharmacy prior to the merger in 2011 - please contact the School of Pharmacy directly.
Is there a fee?
The fee for processing transcripts is £10 per transcript (as of 12 August 2015).
These fees include postage to either a UK address or airmail postage to all overseas addresses.
|How long will it take to receive my transcript?
It takes around 10 working days to produce transcripts from the date of purchase from the UCL Transcript Shop, therefore you will need to make your request in good time, and at least 10 working days before they are required. If you are selecting for your transcripts to be posted, you will need to allow extra time for delivery, especially to overseas destinations. All transcripts are sent by Royal Mail Standard Delivery/Standard International Delivery.
If you choose to collect your transcripts, they will be ready around 10 working days after the receipt of your order. Transcripts are collected from the Student Centre which is open Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm. The Student Centre is located in the Chadwick Building to your right as you enter the main campus from Gower Street and is accessible via steps or a ramp. If they are not ready for collection after 10 working days, please contact us.
At certain times the processing time may be longer, for example
during the Main Examination Period (April - June) and around the results release dates (August and November -January).
Please note that requests for transcripts of academic records dating from the period prior to 1993 will take longer as these records were not computerised and the transcripts have to be produced manually using paper records retrieved from the UCL archives.
|Point to Note:
- A transcript is an official document containing the UCL seal and CANNOT be emailed or faxed.
- Transcripts CANNOT be prioritised due to the volume of transcript requests received and will be produced within the standard time-frame as detailed above.
- If transcripts are not collected within one month of the date of request, they will be destroyed and you will have to submit a further request if required.
|Our Contact Details
Please contact us at the email address below if you are sending additional information that has not been entered on your online request form (i.e. change of address, attaching a form to be included with the transcript).
You should only contact us if your transcripts have not arrived at their destination(s) after one month from receipt of your order or if they are not ready to collect from the Student Centre 10 working days after your request was made.
If you have any other queries regarding the request of transcripts then please feel free to contact us.

Conservation: Paint, Tape, and Sardines
March 25, 2014
Jessica Ford is a graduate intern in paintings conservation at the Lunder Conservation Center. She is completing her graduate work at the Winterthur program at the University of Delaware and is currently working on a number of projects with our conservation staff.
A challenging theme has developed in Jessica Ford's projects at the Lunder Conservation Center: tape! In painting conservation, adhesive tape is not usually encountered during examination or treatment. However, in contemporary art the use of unconventional materials is rarely surprising. At times, tape was applied by painters to frame the edges of paintings or to guide a straight line. Michael Goldberg's Sardines uses a different approach and prominently features adhesive tape as part of the painting's composition.
Goldberg's paintings often grow from a central, physical object. The artist begins with a realistic element and then redefines it with an energetic working process. Here, simple line drawings were covered in swaths of heavy paint, collaged elements of paper or tape were relocated or removed, and new lines were painted or carved to recall the original object. Although expressive and experimental, his work was also carefully crafted.
Sardines was brought into the Lunder Conservation Center primarily because both the paint's and the tape's adhesion to the canvas needed to be strengthened. Part of Jessica's work will be cleaning the surface, stabilizing the paint layer, and analyzing the paint's composition. Her other major focus will be addressing the two different types of adhesive tape used by Goldberg. As a material, tape can deteriorate quickly. Over time, it can darken, lose adhesion, and become brittle. A conservation treatment must be planned that does not compromise the artist's intent or the appearance of his materials. In the coming weeks, Jessica will research the art historical context of Sardines and draw on her technical knowledge of artistic media to develop a treatment approach.
Currently, Jessica is looking into the history, material components, and conservation of adhesive tape. Art conservators often share their findings with others in the field. So, Jessica, along with Lunder conservators Tiarna Doherty and Amber Kerr, will be talking about their work at the American Institute for Conservation's annual meeting this coming May.

His widow, Sheila, will be given a commemorative scroll at the service at Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral.
Thursday is the second John Peel day which marks the anniversary of the DJ's last BBC Radio 1 show.
Warren Bradley, Liverpool City Council leader, said: "John was a true honorary Scouser, someone who became synonymous with the city of Liverpool."
Wirral-born Peel died on 25 October 2004 after suffering a heart attack while on holiday in Peru.
Mr Bradley said: "John never forgot his roots.
'Utmost affection'
"As the son of a Liverpool cotton trader, with a quick wit and dry delivery he championed our bands from the Beatles to the Mighty Wah and the Zutons.
"John's love of Liverpool FC was reflected in the names of all four children William Robert Anfield, Alexandra May Anfield, Thomas James Dalglish and Florence Shankly.
"He also wore Liverpool colours and proudly walked down the aisle to 'You'll Never Walk Alone' while marrying his beloved Sheila. John also suffered alongside all LFC supporters through the Heysel and Hillsborough tragedies.
"The people of Liverpool will always think of John with the utmost affection - in Liverpool he will 'never walk alone'."
Radio 1 will feature a series of broadcasts throughout the day in his memory.

The toy company provides little commentary in its Q2 earnings report this morning, including on its progress with kids channel The Hub (which it co-owns with Discovery) or movie licensing efforts. Hasbro delivered net earnings of $43.4M, -25.2% vs the same period last year, on revenues of $811.5M, -10.7%.The revenue figure fell short of the $830.1M that analysts expected. But earnings at 33 cents a share were well ahead of the forecasts for 23 cents. Last year's Q2 was helped by sales of toys tied to Paramount's Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. Without that boost, sales to boys — the biggest product category — dropped 16% to $389.1M. Still, revenues at the Entertainment and Licensing operation which includes The Hub were up 59% to $43.2M with an operating profit of $8.2M, up from $0.6M. Hasbro's television programming efforts are "creating demand for our toys and games in global markets," CEO Brian Goldner says. The company urged investors to look ahead to its plans to sell games in the holiday season.
Hasbro Q2 Earnings Down But With Strong Growth In Entertainment
4 Comments
You mean Battleship didn't sell loads of board games for Hasbro?
I don't even know what way is up any more.
The Hub would be considered Discovery's biggest mess if OWN wasn't there sucking at a super nova level. Period. Hasbro should send Oprah a big bag of toys and Thank her…
My family loves The Hub!
I know how to "save" The Hub! Sell all of Discovery's stake and most of Hasbro's to NBCU. Get Chris Meledandri on board somehow. Take advice from a random internet commenter!
