A dozen new Army officers celebrated the beginnings of their military careers Friday.
A dozen new Army officers celebrated the beginnings of their military careers Friday.
Members of the Southern Guards Battalion, headquartered at Wofford College, were commissioned as 2nd lieutenants before friends and family at Leonard Auditorium on campus.
Lt. Col. Paul "Buck" Bollinger said he "couldn't say enough" about the young men and women, part of 21 new officers expected to join the military this year.
Bollinger, who commands the battalion of approximately 82 cadets from Wofford, Converse College, Limestone College and the University of South Carolina Upstate, said it was the largest class of new officers from the battalion in more than a dozen years.
He said he was anxious to see what was next for the young officers.
"I like to kick them out the door and let them go do great things," he said.
The new lieutenants, wearing dress blues, were given the oath of office inside the auditorium, then they went out onto the steps of Wofford's Main Building to receive their first salutes.
One new officer, 2nd Lt. Tralisha Ruth Corbitt of Bamberg, graduated from USC Upstate last week and plans to go into military intelligence.
"It's a great opportunity to learn and grow," she said of the Army. "It's a very enlightening feeling. Four years of long, hard work has paid off."
During the ceremony, the then-cadets heard from Col. James R. Hall, Wofford director of campus safety and the emergency preparedness liaison officer for the state of South Carolina. Hall graduated from Wofford in 1983 and said the cadets were "phenomenal" and the ceremony was a very significant moment in their lives.
"I remember everything about it but the guy who spoke," Hall said of his own ceremony. "I forgive you for forgetting me in a few minutes."
Hall said the new officers would be better prepared than he was when he nervously took the oath of office and urged them to remember their values and work hard.
"Learn everything you can to be an expert of your field," he said.
Hall also was marking the end of his Army career, nearly 30 years to the day when he was commissioned an officer in Leonard Auditorium.
Lt. Col. Christopher Meetze of the South Carolina National Guard also addressed the then-cadets.
He thanked them and their families for their hard work.
"You have taught your children how to make the tough decisions that will determine their success," Meetze told the families, adding for the cadets: "Be proud of those lieutenant bars and remember how hard it was you worked to earn them."
The new officers included students from both Wofford College and USC Upstate.
Jeremy Boeh, a Wofford senior, will graduate on Sunday. He previously served as an enlisted soldier in the Army for six years and served two combat tours in Iraq before coming to Wofford in 2011 as part of an Army program that sends enlisted soldiers to college to become officers.
Another new officer is Keith Acosta, who graduated from USC Upstate. Before college, he served in the Marine Corps.

In Defense Of Digital Freedom: It's Time To Get Beyond 'Cyber' Hyperbole
from the speak-up dept
The good news is that we don't need 'cyber democracy' to guarantee 'cyber security'. In most cases the foundations for resilience are already in our existing laws and regulations. Technologies are an essential part of our daily lives, businesses, education, cultural experiences and political engagement. As a result, resilience and defense need to be integrated and mainstreamed to strengthen both freedom and security.She also notes that much of the hype may be driven by companies and politicians who benefit from such hype, driving new business to companies and passing new laws that give politicians more power. But, she notes, if we make policy based on those two drivers, internet freedom will certainly be put at risk. The unintended consequences are pretty clear:
[....] To prevent fear, hype and incident-driven policies and practices, knowledge, transparency and accountability are needed. Let us not make 'cyber' into something completely different, alien or spacy. But rather, let us focus on integrating technological developments in a way that allows us to preserve core (constitutional) principles, democratic oversight, and digital freedoms as essentials in our open societies.
US government has stated that American made, lawful intercept technologies, have come back as a boomerang when they were used against US interests by actors in third countries.One key point she makes is that we need to have a fact-based, careful look at the issues, in which we avoid conflating very, very different things (i.e., random hacking with "war").
Other companies, such as Area Spa from Italy designed a monitoring centre, and had people on the ground in Syria helping the Assad government succeed in anti-democratic or even criminal behaviour by helping the crackdown against peaceful dissidents and demonstrators.
To avoid a slippery slope, clear distinctions between various crimes and threats are needed. Economic damage as a result of criminal activity should render a different response than a state-led attack posing national security threats. Yet, at the moment, at least in the public debate, the distinction between various cyber threats is very unclear. Uncertainly can make people feel vulnerable, while it is internet users and citizens that need to be informed and empowered. We need to build resilient and educated societies instead of installing fear.There's a lot more in the piece as well, and I think many of our readers will find it quite interesting. It's always nice to know that there are some elected officials in the world are trying to base key policy decisions, including those around internet freedom, on reality rather than fear and hype.
States also need to prioritise in their partnerships, and look for consistency of actions by different government departments. Recently, the United States chose to sign a bilateral agreement with Russia on combatting Intellectual Property Rights infringements. The agreed cooperation seems in direct contradiction with objectives of the State Department in the field of internet freedom. In Russia, a newly adopted law gives the state the authority to use Deep Packet Inspections in internet traffic.

::ann wood handmade::
I felt this to be the perfect week to share with you these exquisite pieces by artist Ann Wood. The owls, with wonderful names like, "Iago", "Mr. Guppy", "Pecksniff", "Rodrigo" and "Henchard" are made using found, vintage bits of Japanese boro textiles, paper mache´, Victorian bodice fabrics, Vintage buttons, World War I army blankets, even vintage threads. All are stuffed with wool and stand approx. 9" I love this photo, depicting one of the owls in mid-creation. He looks as though he's wearing a monocle!
That face! and check out those talons. incredible.These are just amazing. And, mostly sold, but you can get on Ann Wood's mailing list to be notified of updates. It's well worth hopping over to her site just to see the full breadth of her work.

a foolish costume is the hobgoblin of little minds
Why don't kids wear homemade costumes anymore? What's cuter than the scene where Scout's wearing her giant ham costume? If you answered this, no need to continue reading. I can remember seeing The Dime Store window filled with boxes of costumes. The kind with the plastic eye-less faces staring out from the cellophane window. The one piece , non-flame retardant, tie in the back costume, folded up beneath. Row after row of "Princess", "GI Joe", "Hobo" {'Hobo' how's that one for, vintage non-PC. These days would you really feel good about sending your kid down the street as 'homeless guy'?} , "Gypsy", "Clown" vacant, holes staring back at me. This may have been the beginning of my DIY attitude. Because even back then, holding my mom's hand as we'd walk by, staring back over my shoulder I'd think to myself, "I can totally make that. And so much better" .........................................................................by the way, if you can get your hands on this book:
Do. It's a classic by Louis Slobodkin {'The 100 Dresses' } I ended up with the copy that was in our family, growing up. I still bring it out every year. Wonderful illustrations and story. ............................................................................
whoa. careful there, fella. But I digress, let's get back to the matter at hand. At our house, I'm declaring this the year of the no-store-bought-costumes. I'm tired of parents feeling the need to shell out major money for a COSTUME to be worn ONE night {oh, ok and maybe in the school parade } I sort of want to be hard core and tell every kid that comes to my door, no candy if your parents paid some ridiculous price for that costume { from halloween express or any of those mail order catalogs encouraging your daughters to look like hookers} but then I realize that's more about the parents than the kids. Above: my mother's masterful work . She made the entire costume, wig and all by hand. { That's red electrical tape wrapped 'round my tights - clever } And the she did the same for my 4 other siblings.
So in the spirit of DIY and Halloween being the ultimate holiday of self expression, this year, get creative. Make-up can go miles {look at little skeleton boy up there}, Goodwill can be a design lab of great ideas. This year, think out side that little cellophane box.

Suzanne Kasler on The Skirted Round Table
This week designer, author, Suzanne Kasler drops by The Skirted Round Table. Another great interview with a great talent. Ms. Kasler's newest book, 'Suzanne Kasler, Inspired Interiors' is a topic of conversation as we each go through and discuss our favorite rooms in the book. If you don't have the book already, I recommend it. Kasler has an innate sense of color and balance that throws all rules out the window, keeping an interior fresh, full of movement and continuity.
I chose the farm house photos to discuss with her. I love the play of the rough-hewn structure against the fine antiques, art and textiles. { That green velvet sofa! } Now this is the way a mountain house should look in my book. Not a Navajo blanket in the place. anyway, go listen, I think you'll be every bit as inspired and enlightened as we were.

black dynamite
What I would give to have a little extra space, in this little beach bungalow. A butler's pantry perhaps. Or maybe a china closet. Something 10 x 8 ish, with a french door and a crystal doorknob.
A place where I could stand, chin between forefinger and thumb surveying my stash, pieces collected over years of wading through tag sales, picking through flea markets and second hand stores. Of course, they'd all be arranged by color, placed on lined shelves, random clutches of silver flatware, in parfait glasses...you've know the drill. Maybe I'd even arrange them seasonally.
If I had an autumnal area, before my purple transfer ware {brought out at Thanksgiving} would have to sit a collection of Wedgwood Basalt, which of course, would be used over and over again throughout the month of October {although I once read that Charlotte Moss mixed hers with a pale pink linen but that's an entirely other closet } Basalt Ware, sometimes called Black Basalt, is a hard black vitreous Stoneware, named after the volcanic rock Basalt and manufactured by Josiah Wedgwood from about 1768. Wedgwood's Black Basalt Ware was an improvement on the stained earthenware known as Egyptian Black made by other Staffordshire potters.

Blog Out Loud Event >> serving the ad community
Last night we {co~founder Rebecca Orlov and myself} held our third Blog Out Loud Event in West L.A. sponsored by WireDrive, POM, and hosted by the Post Production House Therapy. The blogging panel was geared toward the advertising world yet engrossed us with information that's pertinent to any aspect of blogging, and social media.
The two hour intensely informative evening had the audience riveted. Tips, websites, embeddable gizmos, wow. I really wish you all could have been there {and 'hello!' to those of you who were}. If any one in business ever needed to be convinced of the necessaries of blogging and social media, this would have tipped them over. We'll be posting video content on our site: blogoutloudevent.com about last night's event.
In fact, I'll play you our opening video feed to last night. It's fabulous {with great music to boot}:
And mark your calendars, we have an upcoming event hosted by Design Within Reach/ Tools For Living store coming up November 4th, in Santa Monica. The panel is, once again, a stellar line up:

Education Policy: Funds, Incentives Needed for Primary, Girls' Education
LAHORE: There are over 15 million out-of-school children between the ages of five and 16 in Punjab, according to a policy brief launched on Tuesday by the United Nations Girls Education Initiative (UNGEI) in collaboration with the School Education Department (SED) and UNICEF Punjab.
The report stated that in order to provide free and compulsory education, in accordance with Article 25-A, 15 per cent annual increase in enrollment would be required to achieve 89 per cent enrollment by 2024-2025.
The reports on Impact of Provincial and District Budgets Towards Improving Infrastructure and Promotion of Enrollment in Girls Education and Universalisation of Primary Education in Punjab are part of a series of four policy level interventions launched this week.
Budgets and education
The brief said that out of over 15 million out-of-school children in Punjab, 55 per cent were girls. It said there were no girls high schools in 1,300 union councils in Punjab. The report calculated the required financial resources to be around Rs3,387 billion to achieve 98 per cent enrollment for children between the ages of five and 16 by 2024-2025. It estimated a current budget of Rs3,023 billion and development budget of Rs363 billion to achieve the goals set by Article 25-A.
SED Budget and Planning Additional Secretary Mirza Mahmoodul Hassan said the department had carried out extensive data collection to identify areas that needed funds.
With a budget of Rs208 billion for school education for 2013-2014, Budget and Planning Deputy Secretary Qaiser Rasheed said Rs165 billion had been allocated for salaries. To tackle the issues of access and retention, he said, Rs15.5 billion had been allocated for the development budget and Rs7.5 billion for the Punjab Education Foundation. He said Rs2 billion had been allocated for girls stipend.
The brief proposed that efficient and timely release of funds also be ensured. It also called for the continuation of incentive-based programmes and awareness campaigns that encourage parents and girls towards education. It stated that public-private partnerships should be encouraged. The report recommended an increase in the education budget from between two and three percent to four to six per cent of the GDP.
Primary education
The policy brief encouraged synergies between philanthropist organisations and government-run educational organisations, a congenial school environment, meals in schools, child-tracking systems and provision of healthcare facilities at schools to ensure universalisation of primary education, which would help attain the Millennium Development Goals.
The brief suggested the Punjab Assembly enact legislation by motivating political representatives and rendering universal primary education as a marker of achievement for the political leadership.
It stated that primary-level completion rates in Punjab were 78 per cent, a very low figure by international standards. To increase this it recommended the establishment of standing committees to ensure school retention.
Nauman Aqil of the Institute of Social and Cultural Studies at the Punjab University, who worked as part of the technical team on the brief, said establishing school management committees would be beneficial for monitoring and evaluation. A strong sense of cohesion emerges through such interventions which bind the community for a greater social cause, he said.
Aqil said healthcare facilities and meals at schools, would create economic constraints on the government but would be beneficial for ensuring enrollment and retention, which the government was already investing in.

32 Degrees, another frozen yogurt company, eyeing Central Pa.
On the heels of other self-serve frozen yogurt companies that have recently opened in the midstate, Alabama-based 32 Degrees expects to be the next one in the mix.
"There is no question that it's coming there," said Jenny Buha, the chain's director of development and marketing.
32 Degrees, which began franchising in February, has 16 company-owned units in seven states with a 17th store in Tennessee under construction. It was founded in 2010 by Pizitz Management Group, the nation's largest Great American Cookies franchisee.
"For us and for prospective franchisees, the No. 1 factor that creates urgency is securing an optimal location," Buha said, citing at least 30 inquiries from Pennsylvania to open a franchise.
The company has several franchise locations in the works, but none yet open.
32 Degrees is focused on the fact it has competition and hopes to set itself apart in the frozen yogurt business, Buha said. The trend started on the West Coast, jumped to the South and is moving to the Midwest and Northeast.
Central Pennsylvania has become home recently to four Sweet Frog Premium Frozen Yogurt shops among Cumberland, Lancaster and York counties. An independent Bamboo Frozen Yogurt Café also opened on the Carlisle Pike in Hampden Township — a short distance from one of the Sweet Frog locations.
To set itself apart, 32 Degrees offers a twisted frozen yogurt product — similar to a McFlurry from McDonald's — where customers fill up a special cup with their yogurt preferences and toppings and the combination is then blended at the register.
To compete in the winter, the chain is serving up warm baked treats, as well as seasonal yogurt flavors. Fresh-cut fruit served daily for toppings also is part of the strategy, Buha said.
The average franchise cost is about $350,000, which includes a $25,000 franchise fee and accounts for buying new machines and other equipment, Buha said.
32 Degrees is hoping to open three to five franchises this year and another five to 10 next year, she said.

Startups are a dangerous place, in case you didn't already know that... and even not being in the founding club of hires can be dangerous. Although in most cases by the "second round" of hiring places have some kind of funding in place, if there's no backup plan things can go south.

Adequate supplies of certain nutrients and vitamins have been linked to the prevention of different diseases. As a result, supplementation with vitamins has become a popular tool for those seeking optimal health. While vitamins are important to bodily function, it is not always clear how beneficial supplementation is in the average person. In some studies, Vitamin D has been associated with reduced cancer risk. It has also been shown to decrease the risk of falls in elderly patients. There have been conflicting reports on its effect on mortality.
Researchers examined several past studies to determine benefits and harms of vitamin D supplementation. The study, published in the Cochrane database, found that vitamin D3 supplementation may decrease the risk of dying in elderly women. However, they also found that there may be an increased risk of renal stone formations when D3 was combined with calcium.
The study was a systematic review of 50 randomized trials that assessed benefits or adverse events of vitamin D supplementation in a total of 94,148 participants. Most of the participants were women over 70 years of age who lived in institutions and required assisted care. The dose and duration of vitamin D varied between studies but the average duration was two years. The supplements included vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), or an active form of vitamin D which were compared to placebo or no treatment.
Only vitamin D3 was associated with decrease mortality rates during trial duration. In 32 trials with 74,789 participants there was a 6% decrease in mortality with D3 supplementation.
Some adverse events were noted with specific types of vitamin D. Active forms of vitamin D (alfacalcidol and calcitriol) were associated with hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in blood) in three trials. Vitamin D3 that was combined with calcium was associated with a 17% increased risk of nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) in analysis of four trials.
A systematic review combines several smaller studies with sometimes conflicting results to provide clearer, more concise outcomes. In this case, the review demonstrated that a particular type of vitamin D supplementation was associated with decreased mortality, but it did not demonstrate what may have led to this decrease (such as protection against cancer or heart disease). The study was also limited by the population, which means the benefits may only be seen in older women currently living in institutions.
Although some vitamin D does come from diet, the majority comes from exposure to sunlight. This exposure can be limited by lack of outdoor time, sunscreen use, and living in areas with decreased sun exposure (northern areas in winter). Supplementation with vitamin D3 may be beneficial for people with low vitamin D levels or those with limited sun exposure, such as residents of an institution.

Mike Elgan at Cult of Mac: "It must surely be a sign of the impending apocalypse that Microsoft's operating systems have 'more taste' than Apple's. I'm referring, of course, to Apple's inexplicable use of skeuomorphic design in iOS and OS X apps, and contrasting that with Microsoft's stark avoidance of such cheesy gimmickry in the Windows 8 and Windows Phone user interfaces. A skeuomorphic design in software is one that 'decorates' the interface with fake reality - say, analog knobs or torn paper. The problem is worse than it sounds." Won't come as a surprise to anyone that I wholeheartedly agree with this one. iOS and Mac OS X are ruined by an incredibly high Microsoft BOB factor. I have no idea how - or if - Apple will address this, or if the current downward spiral is going to continue.

Review: 'Baggage Claim' lost on arrival
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sometimes you have to travel 30,000 miles just to appreciate the guy who lives down the hall — or so goes "Baggage Claim," a movie about a Flight Attendant Barbie type who runs herself ragged chasing romantic prospects while her perfect suitor may as well be waving lighted wands from the runway the entire time. "Girl, open your eyes!" That kind of talk-back is typical of playwright David E. Talbert's popular urban theater shows, though this watered-down adaptation of his 2003 novel is too worried about attracting white audiences to let its African-American attitude take off.
As a book, "Baggage Claim" allowed Talbert to entertain his female following with corny advice on finding the ideal man. After years of world travel, Montana Moore has developed a theory that all guys fall into one of five categories, ranging from "overnight bag" (no-strings fling) to "trunk" (old and worn), but the perfect man is like the perfect set of luggage: "Full of compartments. So many that just when you think you've figured him out . he surprises you with a hidden nook or a forbidden cranny." So if you're onboard with Talbert's tortured metaphor and want to know the right match for Montana, just look for the one with the forbidden cranny.
The trouble with "Baggage Claim" the movie is that it makes immediately obvious which man Montana (Paula Patton) should wind up with. Back in elementary school, neighbor William Wright (Derek Luke) proposed marriage with a ring retrieved from the bottom of a Cracker Jack box, and now, whenever Montana needs cheering up, good old Mr. Wright is just across the hall, ready to boil a lobster and mix apple martinis until she feels better. But Montana is hopelessly slow on the uptake.
While it's not unusual to want a man, Montana's reasons are all wrong: Her altar-obsessed mother (Jenifer Lewis) has been married five times, and she's been pressuring Montana to get hitched as well. Now that her much younger sister (Lauren London) is engaged, Montana calculates that she has 30 days to find a fiance of her own or risk irreparably disappointing her mother. And while her latest beau (Boris Kodjoe) has awesome abs, the rest of the package is far from perfect.
That's where Montana's boy-crazy best friends, fellow flight attendants Gail (Jill Scott) and Sam (Adam Brody), hatch the scheme to find her a husband in one month's time: They will track the travel itineraries of all Montana's exes and arrange for her to bump into them en route, hoping that these men have matured into worthier suitors in the time since they split up.
And so the film pretends that any of Montana's exes stands a chance: There's the hip-hop star (Tremaine Neverson, aka Trey Songz), the aspiring Congressman (Taye Diggs) and the international businessman (Djimon Hounsou), all of whom seem desperate to pick up where they left off the last time around. However handsome they may be, these characters just aren't the right fit for Montana's baggage — though Talbert manages a few decent laughs at their expense.
Chemistry you can fake, but charm is far harder to pull off, and "Baggage Claim" never quite succeeds on that front. Talbert has clearly studied what makes similar films click, but instead of finding a fresh spin on old cliches, he merely repeats them (as when an unhappy Montana asks no one in particular, "Could this get any worse?," cuing the rainstorm).
While it's nice to see Patton at the center of such a strong black ensemble, Talbert hasn't quite figured out how to adjust his directing technique from stage to screen. Reduced to making cutesy faces throughout, Patton doesn't act so much as mug. Perhaps fitting for a tale of missed connections, "Baggage Claim" leaves one wondering what might have been.
"Baggage Claim," a Fox-Searchlight release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "sexual content and some language." Running time: 96 minutes.
MPAA rating definition for PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

Michelle Williams and Jason Segel split - report
The fiercely-private Brokeback Mountain beauty was first photographed with the comedian in March, 2012, and they went public with their relationship a month later (Apr12) at the New York afterparty for Segel's romantic comedy, The Five-Year Engagement.
Williams recently broke her silence about the new man in her life in an interview with InStyle magazine, gushing, "He is nice... I didn't actually realise who he was before I started dating him... I didn't realise he made a lot of very popular, funny movies."
However, it appears the couple has since parted ways - editors at UsMagazine.com claim Williams and Segel quietly split earlier this month (Feb13) after struggling to maintain the long-distance relationship. The actress lives in the Big Apple with her daughter Matilda, while the funnyman is based in Los Angeles.
The news comes just weeks after the stars were spotted on vacation in Cancun, Mexico with Williams' best pal Busy Philipps and her family.

TALENTED vocalist Bryony Throup is hoping to follow in the footsteps of pop sensation Jessie J after making it through to the regional final of Open Mic UK.
The 16-year-old singer, from Bussage, will perform in front of competition judges at Bristol's St George's Theatre on September 30 after breezing through auditions at the same venue on August 19.
Bryony, who is poised to begin her A-level studies at Cirencester College this month, was among 30 performers out of 150 hopefuls to progress to the south west regional final of the UK-wide contest, which in the past has helped launch the careers of Jessie J, singer-songwriter Birdy and rapper Chipmunk.
Successful performers in Bristol will be whisked off to the national final at The O2 Arena in London on January 19 next year to showcase their talents in front of a stellar crowd of celebrity guests, music industry insiders and the media. As part of her bid for stardom, former Thomas Keble student Bryony is compiling a portfolio of her work for the judges, including professional CDs produced at Stroud's DB Studios and in the recording suite at the Door Youth Project, where she sang a rendition of Jessie J's hit 'Do It Like A Dude', which she performed at the audition. "I was nervous for her because I knew she was not very well that day but I had every confidence she would get through," said Bryony's dad Gary Gardner.
"Her singing is so natural, when she gets on stage she is not trying to put on an act.
"Me and her mum Joanna and the whole of the Throup family are so proud of her. We have always stood behind her and we hope the success she has enjoyed so far will continue.
"She used to be quite a shy girl but the confidence she has shown in the last couple of years has been overwhelming.
"She always gives 150 per cent in everything she does." Tickets to watch Bryony perform in Bristol cost £8 and can be ordered via her Facebook page at www.facebook.com/bryonyjadethroup.

(didn't we get that exact same Clone Commander in the O66 packs last year?)
Also so anyone know when these sets are going to hit? if they are to go aloneside Clone Wars in the Fall. isn't a little early to have seen package samples already when we haven't even seen or "offically heard" anything
Sure is hard to still call it a "rumor" at this point, but I'll go ahead and humor Hasbro on that one.
That's much better. Love the Tsui Choi figure.
Tsui Choi is great. Sadly he is probably going to be the set everyone wants.
At least you've got a Target to go to.
The Palpatine and Choi sets do look pretty damn good. Count me in for two of each set.

A motorist has been put behind bars after he caused the death of a cyclist in Bamford.
Derby Crown Court heard on Wednesday, April 9, how Samuel Mason, 19, of Crossings Avenue, Chapel-en-le-Frith, was sentenced to six months in a young offenders' institution and disqualified from driving for 18 months.
The accident happened on May 2 when Mason was driving a black Toyota along the A6013 towards Ladybower Reservoir and collided with cyclist John Parkin.
Mr Parkin's wife Karen stated: "I want the accused to know what they have taken from us. They will never get our forgiveness."
The court heard how Mason pulled out round a parked van on the left-hand side of the road and turned right onto Brentwood Road colliding with 42 year-old Mr Parkin who was travelling down the hill in the opposite direction.
Mason told police he did not see Mr Parkin, of Sheffield, but witnesses described Mason as looking impatient and a motorist said she had seen Mr Parkin.
Mason pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving.
Adam Watkins, defending, said Mason either underestimated the speed Mr Parkin was approaching or did not see him.
Mason had been driving for just 15 months.
Judge John Pini QC criticised Mason for not expressing remorse in a pre-sentence report. He told him: "I do not regard this as momentary inattention, nearer to reckless risk-taking. Mr Parkin was visible for 57 metres. Your miscalculation cost him his life."

NAGT Officers Meetings and Reports
In years prior to 2011, NAGT would hold its Annual Business Meeting at the Geological Society of America Annual Meeting. At that point, the Executive Committee presented an Annual Report of NAGT activities to the assembled membership. These reports outline the achievements of the various Association-wide committees as well as providing information about Section activities. 2011 marked the beginning of holding the Annual Meeting, virtually, in September, with a shorter face-to-face planning meeting of the Council at the traditional GSA conference meeting.

A's held to five hits, fall to White Sox in series finale
CHICAGO -- For much of the A's 17-game period without an off-day, there was no sign of fatigue. Perhaps because it was blanketed by wins, and lots of them.
But that stretch ended with a loss on Sunday. Two in a row, in fact. And Oakland's bats sure did look tired against the White Sox.View Full Game Coverage
CHICAGO -- For much of the A's 17-game period without an off-day, there was no sign of fatigue. Perhaps because it was blanketed by wins, and lots of them.
But that stretch ended with a loss on Sunday. Two in a row, in fact. And Oakland's bats sure did look tired against the White Sox.View Full Game Coverage
No player admitted to feeling sluggish -- "I feel fresh," Josh Donaldson said after the 4-2 loss -- but there's no denying the challenge that comes with playing 17 in a row, spanning five cities and a few time zones.
And with the conclusion of Sunday's affair, in advance of Monday's off-day at home, the A's were staring down back-to-back losses for the first time since May 14-15 against the Rangers, whose win earlier in the day gave them a half-game lead on Oakland in the American League West.
Still, the A's escaped their lengthy 17-game stretch with 13 wins, including four on this seven-game road trip that started in Milwaukee, and they sit at 11 games over .500.
"It felt like we've been doing a lot of shaking hands, that's for sure, so two in a row does feel like it's kind of an oddity," manager Bob Melvin said. "But any time you play 17 in a row, it's nice to get a day off, especially after we got beat the last two days."
Oakland collected just five hits in the loss, less than 24 hours after managing only four against a dominant John Danks.
It was Hector Santiago, returning to a starting role in place of an injured Jake Peavy, who handcuffed the A's over 6 1/3 innings this time.
Coco Crisp tallied his seventh homer of the season in the third, but the A's wouldn't plate another run until the seventh, and it was only because reliever Matt Thornton made a throwing error to first on an attempted pickoff, allowing Josh Reddick to score from third with two outs.
"He was kind of effectively wild," Donaldson said. "He was kind of everywhere, but throwing just enough strikes. He did a good job, limiting any damage that could have been done."
"His ball was getting on you better than we saw it at our place when he was relieving," Melvin added. "He has that herky-jerky motion a little bit, and the ball gets on you. Saw some [95-mph pitches] out of him today, and there was more life on his balls. We were behind some balls early in the game against him and he was pitching farther in effectively."
A.J. Griffin outlasted Santiago with 7 1/3 innings of work. But Oakland's right-hander was done in by the long ball, handing one out to Tyler Flowers in the third and, with one out in the eighth in a one-run game, another to Alex Rios.
In between, he gave up a two-spot in the fourth, the inning that led to much of his postgame frustration.
Each team had one run at the beginning of the frame, which unraveled when Adam Dunn sent a curveball down the right-field line for a double. Paul Konerko followed with a base hit, leading to Conor Gillaspie's sacrifice fly. One walk later, Griffin allowed an RBI double to Gordon Beckham.
"The big at-bat was Adam Dunn's second at-bat, when he hit that double," Griffin said. "He did a good job of fighting off some pitches and then hooked a changeup down the line. It [stinks] losing that battle, but then you gotta keep pitching. They started getting some hits, and I tried to minimize, but they ended up getting two. I just wanted to keep us in the ballgame the next few innings.
"Bob asked me how I felt after the seventh, I told him, 'Great,' and it's nice he stuck with me. It [stinks] when you go out there and feel like you let him down, after giving up that homer, but overall today I felt like I battled and I just wasn't good enough for us."
Griffin is winless in his last two starts, but has a 2.51 ERA over that time, reflecting the lack of run support from his teammates.
"You're playing a first-place team, it's a tough team, and we've had a tough time with them," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "They have a good lineup, they grind, they make you throw a lot of pitches. They force you to throw a lot more pitches than other teams, and Hector was able to stay with it today. It's just a credit to him."
The A's, meanwhile, aren't at all rustled by this mini losing stretch.
"We feel good," Donaldson said. "This team's not losing confidence after losing two in a row. Chicago's a pretty good team over there, a real good team.
"I feel like we're still playing pretty hard. We're grinding, but the day off will maybe help a little bit."

Flow Technologies in Bioscience Review
Product News Oct 29, 2012
Microsaic Systems presented at 'Flow Technologies in Bioscience' organised by Labstract and held at the newly opened Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst Innovation centre.
Suki Klair, CEO at Labstract organised a stimulating agenda of speakers with a focus on enabling new applications via flow technologies.
Steve Jordan, Head of R&D, Biotage chaired the event and set the scene by commenting that continuous processing was gaining ground within the pharma industry and welcomed the speakers who ranged from academic thought leaders in flow, including Professor Steve Haswell, University of Hull, to equipment vendors including Microsaic Systems.
Many people are still on the fence about the benefits of flow chemistry, and in some cases it doesn't make sense to change processes that are working in batch. However, as chemists search for more novel transformations they are forced to look at hazardous transformations such as ozonolysis and diazotisation and this is where flow chemistry can provide significant safety improvements to batch methods. Flow technology is here to stay. It will not replace batch chemistry but it does provide another tool in the chemist's tool box.
Syrris highlighted a compelling example of this from the BOSS group in Rio de Janeiro where flow through a biocatalyst had increased catalyst efficiency by 10 times, compared to batch. They also mentioned a new electrochemistry module that will be available next year. Electrochemistry is a lost art so a database of reactions will be built up by key users and shared by Syrris on their website.
Matt O'Brien, Keele University talked about his time in the Ley lab, University of Cambridge where gas-liquid reactions have been successfully performed safely in flow with hazardous gases such as ozone using the innovative tube-in-a-tube reactors available from Uniqsis and Cambridge Reactor Design.
Bryan McCullough, Microsaic showed the first example of mass spectrometry being used to monitor a flow reaction which was jointly published with the Ley group, University of Cambridge. Mass spectrometry is not new, but the new miniature MS, the MiD fits in a fumehood, giving chemists access to this useful technique. Both Mettler Toledo, manufacturer of the Flow-IR and Microsaic showed that using on-line monitoring can greatly increase reaction understanding. The Ley group uses these technologies to increase the speed of reaction optimisation and identify new reaction intermediates and pathways.
Chris Selway gave us an insight into what is happening at Cyclofluidic. Their novel synthesis platform allows compounds to be synthesised from a set of pre-loaded monomers, purified, analysed, and then injected into a biological assay. Their algorithm "learns" which compounds are most potent and the computer decides which compound to make next. Each cycle takes 1 hour and over a weekend a candidate compound can be found. This is "closing the loop" of drug discovery, enabled by flow technologies.
Professor Steve Haswell, University of Hull is at the cutting edge of lab-on-a-chip technologies and highlighted the potential use of functionalised microfluidic devices that could be used by police and doctors for point-of-use applications. It was interesting to hear that regulatory bodies are positive about these new, disruptive technologies and actually the barrier-to-entry is the institutions who will resist change, in spite of cost and time savings.
