Posted: Feb 25, 2013 1:45 PM by Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - With billions of dollars at stake, the trial to figure out how much more BP and other companies should pay for the nation's worst offshore oil spill began Monday with the federal government saying the oil giant was mostly to blame for a disaster caused by putting profits ahead of safety.
Justice Department attorney Mike Underhill said BP PLC, which leased the rig and owned the blown-out Macondo well, said the disaster resulted from the London-based company's "culture of corporate recklessness."
"The evidence will show that BP put profits before people, profits before safety and profits before the environment," Underhill said during opening statements.
Eleven workers died when the rig exploded April 20, 2010, and millions of gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier is hearing the case without a jury and - barring a settlement - will decide months from now how much more money BP and other companies involved in the ill-fated drilling project owe for their roles in the environmental catastrophe.
"Despite BP's attempts to shift the blame to other parties," Underhill said, "by far the primary fault for this disaster belongs to BP."
Attorney Jim Roy, who represents individuals and businesses hurt by the spill, said BP executives applied "huge financial pressure" on its drilling managers to "cut costs and rush the job." The project was more than $50 million over budget and behind schedule at the time of the blowout, Roy said.
"BP repeatedly chose speed over safety," Roy said, quoting from a report by an expert who may testify later.
Brad Brian, a lawyer for rig owner Transocean Ltd., said the Swiss-based drilling company had an experienced, well-trained crew on the rig. Brian said the Transocean workers' worst mistake may have been placing too much trust in the BP rig supervisors on the rig.
"And they paid for that trust with their lives," Brian said. "They died not because they weren't trained properly. They died because critical information was withheld from them."
Lawyers for BP and Halliburton, the cement contractor that constructed the cement barrier to prevent oil or gas from flowing up the well, will outline their cases later Monday.
Roy said the spill also resulted from rig owner Transocean Ltd.'s "woeful" safety culture. He said the owner of the Deepwater Horizon rig failed to properly train its crew, calling it a "chronic problem allowed by Transocean management to go uncorrected."
"The work force was not always aware of the hazards they were exposed to," Roy said. "They don't know what they don't know."
Roy also said Halliburton deserved some of the blame for providing BP with a product that was "poorly designed, not properly tested and was unstable."
Underhill heaped blame on BP executives and onshore managers for cost-cutting decisions they made in the months and weeks leading up the disaster. He said the primary "rig-based" cause of the blowout was a botched safety test in which two BP rig supervisors, Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine, disregarded abnormally high pressure readings that should have been glaring indications of trouble.
Underhill said Vidrine and Mark Hafle, a BP engineer in Houston, discussed the test results over the phone less than an hour before the explosion but failed to take steps that could have prevented the blast.
"Instead, both men, armed with knowledge that could have saved 11 lives and prevented the Gulf oil spill, did absolutely nothing," Underhill said.
Kaluza and Vidrine have been indicted on federal manslaughter charges. Hafle hasn't been charged with wrongdoing.
BP has said it already has racked up more than $24 billion in spill-related expenses and has estimated it will pay a total of $42 billion to fully resolve its liability for the disaster.
But the trial attorneys for the federal government, Gulf states and attorneys for people and businesses hope to convince the judge that the company is liable for much more.
Hundreds of attorneys have worked on the case, generating roughly 90 million pages of documents, logging nearly 9,000 docket entries and taking more than 300 depositions of witnesses who could testify at trial.
"In terms of sheer dollar amounts and public attention, this is one of the most complex and massive disputes ever faced by the courts," said Fordham University law professor Howard Erichson, an expert in complex litigation.
Barbier has promised he won't let the case drag on for years as has the litigation over the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill, which still hasn't been completely resolved. He encouraged settlement talks that already have resolved billions of dollars in spill-related claims.
In December, Barbier gave final approval to a settlement between BP and Plaintiffs' Steering Committee lawyers representing Gulf Coast businesses and residents who claim the spill cost them money. BP estimates it will pay roughly $8.5 billion to resolve tens of thousands of these claims, but the deal doesn't have a cap.
BP resolved a Justice Department criminal probe by agreeing to plead guilty to manslaughter and other charges and pay $4 billion in criminal penalties. Transocean reached a separate settlement with the federal government, pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge and agreeing to pay $1.4 billion in criminal and civil penalties.
But there's plenty left for the lawyers to argue about at trial, given that the federal government and Gulf states haven't resolved civil claims against the company that could be worth more than $20 billion.
One of the biggest questions facing Barbier will be to determine if BP was guilty of gross negligence.
Under the Clean Water Act, which is designed to punish companies and prevent future spills, a polluter pays a minimum of $1,100 per barrel of spilled oil; the fines nearly quadruple to about $4,300 a barrel for companies found guilty of grossly negligent behavior, meaning BP could be on the hook for nearly $18 billion.
BP, meanwhile, argues the federal government's estimate of how much oil spewed from the well - more than 200 million gallons - is inflated by at least 20 percent. Clean Water Act penalties are based on how many barrels of oil spilled.
Barbier plans to hold the trial in at least two phases and may issue partial rulings at the end of each. The first phase, which could last three months, is designed to determine what caused the blowout and assign percentages of blame to the companies involved. The second phase will address efforts to stop the flow of oil from the well and aims to determine how much crude spilled into the Gulf.
The Deepwater Horizon rig blew up 50 miles off Louisiana in an explosion that investigators blamed on time-saving, cost-cutting decisions by BP and its drilling partners in cementing the well shaft.
Following several failed attempts that introduced the American public to such industry terms as "top kill" and "junk shot," BP finally capped the well on the sea floor after more than 85 days.
By then, the well had spewed an estimated 172 million gallons of crude into the Gulf, fouling marshes and beaches, killing wildlife and closing vast areas to fishing.
Scientists warn that the spill's full effect on the Gulf food chain may not be known for years. But they have reported oil-coated coral reefs that were dying, and fish have been showing up in nets with lesions and illnesses that biologists fear could be oil-related. Oil churned up by storms could be washing up for years.

(English) Barcode project puts Wales Number 1 in the world
Wales has become the first country in the world to DNA barcode all its flowering plants.
This scientific breakthrough opens up huge potential for the future of plant conservation and human health.
The work to make Wales No 1 in the world was carried out at the National Botanic Garden in collaboration with Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales and project partners from various universities.
The Barcode Wales project, led by the National Botanic Garden's Head of Conservation and Research Dr Natasha de Vere, has created a reference database of DNA barcodes based on the 1143 native flowering plants and conifers of Wales, assembling over 5700 DNA barcodes.
Plants can now be identified from pollen grains, fragments of seed or roots, wood, dung, stomach contents or environmental samples collected from the air, soil or water.
Dr de Vere explained the importance of the project: "Wales is now in the unique position of being able to identify plant species from materials which in the past would have been incredibly difficult or impossible. Through the Barcode Wales project, we have created a powerful platform for a broad range of research from biodiversity conservation to human health".
Dr Tim Rich said: "We have taken DNA samples from thousands of specimens in the National Museum's collections. This technique opens up a whole new set of uses for our collections."
DNA barcodes are short sequences of DNA which are unique to each species and can be used to identify plant species from tiny fragments of plant material. They have a whole range of applications from conserving rare species to developing new drugs.
The Welsh flora DNA barcodes are freely available on the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD) for use by researchers throughout the world. The creation of this DNA barcode library is reported in the journal PLoS ONE http://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0037945
The National Botanic Garden receives funding from the Welsh Government for its scientific research and educational work promoting science-based activities.
Housing Regeneration and Heritage Minister, Huw Lewis said: "I am delighted the Garden has achieved a significant world first. Welsh Government funding is helping the Garden provide the people of Wales with an institution dedicated to biodiversity and sustainability and it has now put Wales on the world stage in plant sciences research. Congratulations to Natasha and her team."
Professor John Harries, Chief Scientific Adviser for Wales, congratulated the team responsible for this achievement: "This is a really significant project that will help highlight and promote the expertise in Wales. The Garden is gaining a strong international reputation as a centre for plant sciences research, and is playing a key role in supporting and training the next generation of plant scientists, which is great news for Wales."
Dr de Vere paid tribute to Garden staff and volunteers, Dr Tim Rich of the National Museum Wales and the project partners Aberystwyth University, Glamorgan University, University of the West of England, the Botanical Society of the British Isles, and High Performance Computing (HPC) Wales.
Barcodes and the battle against disease
The National Botanic Garden of Wales is already collaborating with partners throughout the UK on DNA barcoding applications.
PhD student Jenny Hawkins is working on a joint project between the Garden and the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Cardiff University to DNA barcode honey for drug discovery.
Jenny has collected honey from throughout the UK and is testing its ability to kill the hospital acquired infections, MRSA and Clostridium difficile, she will then DNA barcode the honey to find out what plants the bees visited to make it.
Said Jenny: "We know some of the medicinal properties of honey come from the plants the bees visit. By DNA barcoding the honey, we are looking for links between honey with good medicinal properties and particular plant species. If we find it, we might be able to make a super honey by allowing bees to forage on plants that provide high antibacterial properties."
Barcodes and the fate of pollinators
DNA barcoding may also be able to help in the crisis facing our pollinators. Dr de Vere is working with PhD student Andrew Lucas from the Swansea Ecology Research Team (SERT) at Swansea University to investigate the role that hoverflies play in pollination.
Andrew says: "Hoverflies play a key role in pollination but we know very little about their behaviour. My research will collect hoverflies and find out where they go by DNA barcoding the pollen carried on their bodies. We are interested in how hoverflies move through the landscape and the importance of habitat quality."
This work builds on a project with Aberystwyth University that examined bee pollination within species rich grasslands.
Barcoding the rest of the UK
The Barcode Wales team is now joining forces with more partners to DNA barcode the rest of the UK native and alien flora. The National Botanic Garden of Wales, Amgueddfa Cymru and University of Glamorgan are joining teams from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh led by Prof Pete Hollingsworth and Imperial College and Royal Botanic Gardens Kew led by Prof Vincent Savolainen.
DNA barcoding uses specific regions of DNA to act as unique identifier for species. First a reference database of DNA barcodes is created using known samples and then unknown DNA sequences can be compared to these to allow an identification to be made. Projects are now underway throughout the world to DNA barcode all living things and ensure that these barcodes are freely available online as a global resource.
The scientific community have agreed on sections of two genes called rbcL and matK to act as the DNA barcodes for plants. These genes can be used to catalogue plant life as they have a slightly different code between species but are very similar within a species.

Many years ago, when I was in my 20s, I lived in a small apartment in New Haven, Connecticut. I had a chair, a bed, a lamp and some books, and that was about it. I particularly lacked items for my kitchen, and I needed to eat, so I began searching for cooking utensils.
The weather folks said the low tonight is supposed to be 21 degrees below zero. The last six weeks have been tough like that. I bought a new stove for the yurt, but ordered the wrong pipe three different times. Again, I fall asleep staring at the tape that covers the hole in the wall where the stovepipe should be.

Riverside Park Improvements
Riverside Park is Lynchburg's second-oldest park, and one of the most beloved in Lynchburg. Its 47 acres display the best of Central Virginia's rolling terrain, with wonderful views of the James River from several vantage points in the park. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to renovate a park. The renovations at Riverside Park would not have been possible without the considerable financial and volunteer support it has received from the beginning of the project.
Community Support
Renovations to the park began when the City received SAFTEA-LU grant funding from the Virginia Department of Transportation and appropriated additional monies in Capital Improvement Project funding for renovations to Riverside Park. The first fully-accessible public playground, known as the Playcore, was funded by a donation of cash and in-kind services by the Lynchburg Rotary Club along with City Capital dollars. The Lynchburg Kiwanis Club has donated countless hours of volunteer work to restore the locomotive, passenger and caboose cars of the train located in the outdoor Transportation Area, and the Lynchburg Historical Foundation raised funds to help build a protective shed over the remains of the hull of the historic packet boat, Marshall. The Lynchburg Garden Club funded and installed the new landscaped garden around the historic Gazebo, and the Lynchburg Junior League donated money for the wildly popular Sprayground. The Lynchburg Tree Stewards have funded and supported the planting of numerous new tree plantings in the park.
The Planning Process Continues
A public meeting about renovations to the park was held for Thursday, August 8 from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, at the Main Library Community Meeting Room, 2315 Memorial Avenue. Participants saw a brief overview of the project from City staff, consultants from Lardner/Klein Landscape Architects, P.C., and Wiley & Wilson Engineering firm. Participants reviewed a brief overview of the project, learned about overall plan goals, discussed the proposed project schedule, and learned how the proposed changes might impact the park. Specific improvements under discussion included renovation of the interior trail system to improve access and accessibility; design and development of the protective train shed; and historic interpretation of park features. Please view the Master Plan for Riverview Park for conceptual plans. You can also view a slideshow of the presentation.
If you were unable to attend the meeting but would like to comment, or need more information, please contact Andrew Reeder, Parks Manager or call the Parks and Recreation Department at (434) 455-5858.

Debian Squeeze: KFreeBSD, Dash and Automatic Debug Packages
The Debian project is planning a whole series of enhancements for Debian 5.0 "Squeeze." A few results of the currently running Google Summer of Code are beginning to creep into it.
The next Debian will provide the GNU/kFreeBSD installer as an option for the OS core and will thereby support the first ever non-Linux architecture. The Debian Almquist Shell (dash) will become the standard shell that should, among other things, help with faster bootups. Debian Squeeze will also provide full IPv6 support and time-saving, automatic debug packages. Further goals are to avoid software corpses in the form of outdated libraries and strive for higher package quality by rejecting packages that don't pass the required checks. More of the Squeeze goals are described in Debian's release news.
A few of the new project ideas emerged from this year's Google Summer of Code, where at least nine Squeeze features will be developed or enhanced. One of the selected projects is working on automatic debug packages. Another student and mentor are applying themselves to supporting the kFreeBSD installer.
Squeeze will likely appear in the first half of 2010. Its feature freeze was planned for December, according to a recently revamped Debian release policy. However, protests caused the Debian team to reconsider the policy once again. September is the new target for announcing a new timeline to bring in the next Ice Age.

Hanson beats McIlroy to claim famous win
Just a month after failing to win a point at the Ryder Cup - and being left on the sidelines for three of the five sessions - Peter Hanson had the sweetest win of his career on Sunday.
The 35-year-old Swede just held off world number one Rory McIlroy to take the BMW Masters title in Shanghai against a field that also included nine more of his European team-mates from Medinah, with Luke Donald coming third and Ian Poulter fourth.
By claiming a first prize of over £720,000 he has also given himself a chance to deny McIlroy the same European and PGA Tour money list double achieved by Donald last season.
With four more weeks to go he leaps from seventh to second in the standings, and although the Northern Irishman's runner-up finish means he still has a lead of more than £650,000, the winner's cheque is more than that in this week's World Championship event at Mission Hills in Shenzhen - and McIlroy is not playing.
"I'm going to try to keep this form going," Hanson said after a closing bogey gave him a one-stroke victory on a smoggy day when both of the front two shot five-under-par rounds of 67.
He was five clear after a hat-trick of birdies from the 11th, but McIlroy also made four on the long 13th, eagled the 15th from 18 feet - Hanson birdied - and then cut the difference to two with a five-foot putt at the next.
World number 25 Hanson's par save from 15 feet preserved the gap, but there was still a possibility of a play-off when Hanson's approach to the 471-yard last came down in rough above a bunker.
He thought he might be entitled to a free drop because of a plugged lie, but was refused it and after doing well to chip to 10 feet he breathed a sigh of relief when McIlroy's 15-foot birdie attempt just missed. That left Hanson with two putts for his sixth European Tour win and he took them.
"Rory made a tremendous effort and put quite a bit of pressure on me - his second to the 15th was true class," Hanson added. "He gave me a bit of a cushion early on (McIlroy missed two four-foot par putts) and I was maybe a little too defensive at the end, but it all worked out.
"My short game used to be my weak part, but I've been working on it and my putting has really improved."

Over the past couple of years, the Environmental Protection Agency has been tightening the rules contractors must follow to avoid spreading lead-tainted dust during home renovation projects. The rules are also useful guidelines for home do-it-yourselfers, particularly if you're doing it yourself in a home built before 1978 that is likely to have lead paint on the walls, even if it's buried under wallpaper or layers of more recent paint.
If children or pregnant women are exposed to lead dust, it could cause permanent brain damage and lifelong deficiencies. That's why lead was ordered removed from paint, gas and, most recently, toys.
The new rules require things like the use of plastic sheeting to avoid spreading dust outside the work area, spraying water mist to tamp down dust and thoroughly cleaning work areas each day. (For more details, see 8 questions to ask about lead before starting a home renovation project.)
But in a turnaround, the EPA just decided not to require contractors to test that their lead-safe techniques actually kept lead dust away.
If workers follow the rules, lead should not become a problem. That's EPA's stated reasoning, anyway. Its decision could also have something to do with sustained attacks from some members of Congress and Republican presidential candidates, who have been accusing the agency of making health and environmental regulations of that hurt business.
Watchdogs, like the National Center for Healthy Housing, criticized the decision. (They've been criticizing the agency on this subject for decades, since the EPA only tightened the rules in 2008, 16 years after Congress passed a law mandating greater protection for children from lead dust during home renovations.) The center urges that homeowners and landlords should insist on clearance testing after work is completed. Here are some facts and tips from the EPA about ordering your own clearance testing:
Require clearance testing in your contract before work begins. Contractors are not required to perform lead-dust testing by law, so you must specify your preference ahead of time. Also indicate in the contract who is responsible for additional cleaning if the test results show the presence of lead.
Hire a professional to perform lead-dust testing. To locate a lead professional who will perform an evaluation near you, visit epa.gov or call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-5323.
Lead-dust tests are wipe samples that must be sent to a laboratory for analysis. The lab report will indicate if lead dust was present at the time of the tests.
DIY kits are available from some EPA-recognized labs for home lead-dust testing. For a list of EPA-approved labs, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-5323.

SMF Support > Install and Upgrade Help
Admin links missing after upgrade
I just updated an old forum to 2.02 from 1.1.11
I did an upgrade first to 1.1.16 and the to 2
Everything seems to have gone well and is working with the exception of the menu tabs in the admin side.
The attachment shows what I am looking at. As you can tell I am using a custom theme so I'm thinking that may be the cause but would like to know if anyone else has run into this and what they found.
Thank you
If that's an old SMF v1 theme, it ain't gonna work. No way, José.
I was afraid of that but now I think I've discovered a new problem. In trying to change the theme to something current for version 2, it refuses to change. Does this sound like a permissions thing? But where?
I had a similar problem, when I first used v2.
When you go the your profile, you have to click on "[use this theme]", otherwise it just reverts to the default.
I believe that it was slightly different with v1.x.

Limitations and Errata
30 day limit This version of CCP is limited to 730days of data. This should be adequate for functional testing/development without concerns for capacity overload issues. Note: once odd behavior you may notice is if you configure an RSS feed that has posts older then 30 days. They will be pulled in and then immediately purged giving you no results.
While we do expect to make the retention of social contact data configurable (likely by campaign) the initial use-case for CCP is to provide a tool that allows our customers to respond to customers, not create a massive data warehouse of social contact data. ...if a post is more then 7 days old, it's most likely far to late to respond.
Facebook A primary use-case for CCP will be capturing consumer wall posts on a Facebook fan page. Unfortunately, Facebook doesn't provide an obvious way to get consumer posts via RSS (let us know if you find one.) There may be a workaround but we haven't researched very much as we anticipate using Facebook OpenGraph API to capture these posts. Expect that we will add a new Feed type "Facebook" in a future Sprint (or possibly there is a "Facebook Wall" type feed.)

The owner says he used a GPS to locate the tractor at Guidry's home in Monroe County.
MACON, Ga. (AP) -- Two Macon police officers charged with stealing a tractor are no longer employed with the police department.
Reports say that police announced the change in a one-sentence news release Saturday.
Earlier, police had declined comment on the job status of Troy Guidry and Jon Wantz.
A tractor worth nearly $25,000 was reported stolen from a Macon plumbing business late Wednesday or early Thursday.
The two ex-officers are charged with theft, criminal trespassing and violating their oath. It's unclear if they have lawyers.

Five pages of Mr. Dimon's 30-page annual letter to shareholders, released Wednesday, outlined "lessons learned" from the incident, which damaged Mr. Dimon's standing as the best risk manager on Wall Street.
The lengthy discussion of the trading losses is the latest sign of concern that Mr. Dimon may have to relinquish his hold over the board following the bad bets made by J.P. Morgan's Chief Investment Office in 2012. Executives and directors are lobbying large investors ahead of the nonbinding vote on whether to split the roles of CEO and chairman. Votes will be counted May 21.
A similar proposal received 40% approval from shareholders in 2012, the highest percentage on such an advisory proposal since at least 2005.
Mr. Dimon's letter lacked the feisty tone of years past, when he often warned about the unintended consequences of a wave of new regulation of the U.S. banking industry. This year, Mr. Dimon instead said, "I feel terrible we let our regulators down" and pledged to make the firm's compliance with all regulatory obligations a priority.
"We are re-prioritizing our major projects and initiatives" and "deploying massive new resources" to the effort, he wrote. The firm is dropping work on a litany of new projects, such as a redesign of its Chase.com web site, so it can focus on the new firm-wide controls, said a person close to the bank.
Mr. Dimon also warned that he expects more regulatory slaps in the "coming months."
Still, some investors continue to press for change. One activist shareholder on Wednesday withdrew an advisory proposal that Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS +0.44% Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

Publicity associated with the Whale trades represent "a major opportunity for investors to get board reforms out of J.P. Morgan," Dieter Waizenegger, CtW Investment Group's executive director, said in an interview. CtW, an activist shareholder group that works with union pension funds managing $200 billion of assets, has asked the board not to renominate three members of J.P. Morgan's risk-policy panel.
"We are now focusing our energies on the risk-management oversight of the J.P. Morgan board," said a CtW spokesperson.
Goldman in March invited CtW to meet with its lead outside director, James Schiro, shortly after regulators rejected the bank's efforts to keep its proposal off its proxy statement, Mr. Waizenegger said.
"He gave us enough comfort" that the board had some checks on the CEO, Mr. Waizenegger said.
Goldman agreed to add to Mr. Schiro's duties, including setting the board's agenda rather than merely approving it, writing his own letter to shareholders and increasing the number of board executive sessions to four per year from two. Executive sessions are meetings involving only outside directors.

Treasurer Wayne Swan won't not speculate on if the commercial banks will pass on any interest rate cut next week by the central bank.
The likelihood of a cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) next Tuesday have increased after the release of better-than-expected annual inflation figures.
But there are concerns any official rate reduction won't be passed on to mortgage holders by the retail banks.
"In terms of what may happen next week, and what the response of the banks would be, I don't intend to put the cart before the horse," Mr Swan told reporters in Canberra.
Mr Swan has this year criticised banks that lifted their lending rates independently of central bank decisions.
Some have raised rates even though the RBA made no changes.
The RBA board will decide on May 1 on whether to lower the cash rate from its current 4.25 per cent.
"You would only have to look at their minutes published a week ago," Mr Swan said.
"They (RBA) themselves have said they would look closely at this inflation number and take their decision independently."
Financial markets are fully backing the chance of a 25 basis point cut by the RBA.

I have recently had increasing problems with the gears not changing, not starting, stalling at lights etc, with the transmission warning light on.
The only info I could find was a suggestion that the gear change actuators may be seizing, so I removed & stripped these. There was nothing wrong with them, but on refitting them the fault had worsened to the point that the car would not turn over just the warning light on all the time.
The fault was a broken data link wire inside the conduit going down the front of the gearbox at the point where it separates to the two actuators and the ECU/clutch pack.
A cheap and easy fix once I found it, certainly worth looking for if you have gear problems on these cars.
I hope this will be of help to others.

I recently experienced similar problems which did turn out to be a seized actuator. This was resolved and car has run really well for around 4-5 weeks since. However last night car would not start and seems to be showing same symptoms as you ha. Cannot get N indicated, and the power train warning light is on.
How did you isolate the data link issue?

Posted 22 November 2012 - 05:26 PM
Sorry I've taken so long to reply, finding the fault was more luck then anything else. I just noticed the broken wire inside the conduit at the join where the wires from the actuators meet the main harness low down in front of the g/box. The conduit on mine is open at the joins which is an obvious weak point. I had been trying to find a decent (understandable) wiring diagram without success. But I have some experience of data links from HGV work & they are a source of problems. Data links are fairly obvious as they are always twisted pairs of wires to reduce interference. Be careful when testing as they run on variable low voltage signals, if you put full voltage down them it can damage ECU's. I would recommend stripping off the conduit & inspect visually, you could also pull the wires to see if they spring which means the wire is broken inside the insulation.
Sorry again that I can't be more helpful than this.
Hope you find your fault.
