Eredivisie Preview: Injury blow rocks Heerenveen
The Eredivisie's leading goalscorer Alfred Finnbogason will miss Heerenveen's play-off second leg against AZ Alkmaar on Saturday with injury.
Heerenveen face an unexpected exit from the Eredivisie's UEFA Europa League play-offs after they lost the first leg 3-0 on Wednesday, with Finnbogason injuring his knee in Alkmaar.
The Icelandic striker scored 29 goals in the Dutch top flight this season but lasted just one half at AZ in the first leg, as the hosts struck three times before half-time.
"It looks a sprain of the inner knee," Heerenveen physio Erik ten Voorde told the club's website on Thursday.
"(A scan on) Friday should show what is really going on but Alfred can't play Saturday."
Heerenveen entered the Europa League play-offs after finishing fifth in the Eredivisie's regular season - the highest of the four clubs involved - but will have to overturn a three-goal deficit at Abe Lenstra Stadion on Saturday.
AZ's performance in the first leg was a big shock as Dick Advocaat's men had failed to win in eight games in all competitions before playing Heerenveen, while the latter had won four straight matches.
After the first leg, Heerenveen head coach Marco van Basten conceded it would be difficult for his team to recover.
"We are not without a chance," the 49-year-old said.
"On Saturday, we must make it terribly difficult for AZ."
In the other play-off semi-final, Vitesse Arnhem head home after losing the first leg in Groningen 1-0.
Vitesse have not won in eight matches but held on until the 88th minute in Groningen before Lorenzo Burnet struck for the hosts.
Burnet's goal was enough for Groningen to win their seventh consecutive game and they will hope to maintain their momentum at Arnhem's GelreDome, after storming into the Europa League play-offs.
The winners of the two semi-finals will play-off for a spot in the qualifying rounds of next season's Europa League.

Walker to expand GPS monitoring, DNA collection
MADISON, Wis. (AP) – Gov. Scott Walker wants to spend $3 million to expand GPS tracking for some people on restraining orders and $6 million to collect DNA samples from everyone arrested for felonies. The expanded DNA collection Walker is proposing would also include anyone convicted for any crime and those arrested for certain misdemeanor sexual crimes. Walker says that will result in DNA data being collected from 68,000 people a year. Walker was touring the state with Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen to discuss the $14 million in law enforcement initiatives that will be included in his budget to be released next week. Walker is also calling for $1 million to hire five new full-time employees at the task force that works to stop Internet crimes against children.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker men's lacrosse will play host to the Penguins of Dominican University of California on Thursday (Mar. 13) in a non-conference tilt.
The Cobras are looking to notch their fourth win of the season after picking up a 15-9 win over Ohio Valley University in their last contest. The Navy and Yellow boast one of the deadliest offenses in the South Atlantic Conference, as well as the nation. With 78 goals and 47 assists on the season, the Cobras rank second in NCAA Division II and first in the SAC statistical standings in each respective category.
Leading the offense are sophomores Mike Martiello and Shane Wilson. Martiello has 28 points on 14 goals and 14 assists, which ranks him first in the SAC in points and assists and fifth in goals. Martiello's 28 points is also good enough for second best in all of NCAA Division II, while his 4.67 points per game and 2.33 assists per game rank him 12th and ninth, respectively in all of the land. Wilson's 16 goals on the season are good for second in the SAC.
Not to be outdone, the Coker defense ranks fourth nationally in total saves (80) and 13th in saves per game (13.33). Heading the stout defense is goalie Tim Ryan and his 78 saves. His save total is good for third in the SAC, while his 13 saves per game is tied for ninth in the nation.
Dominican enters the game with a 2-1 overall record and ranked 13th in the nation. The Penguins are led offensively by Cody and Jake Bernstein. Cody leads the team with eight goals and has added three assists for a total of 11 points, while Jake has seven goals and a team-leading four assists for his 11 points. In goal for the Penguins, Sean Donohue has registered 32 saves on 119 shots faced in 180 minutes of action.
The game will start at 12 p.m. at Byerly Park in Hartsville. Live coverage of the game will be available at www.cokercobras.com

COLUMBUS, Ohio-- Jim Tressel, who guided Ohio State to its first national title in 34 years, resigned Monday amid NCAA violations and mounting revelations that sullied the image of one of the country's top football programs.
"After meeting with university officials, we agreed that it is in the best interest of Ohio State that I resign as head football coach," Tressel said in a statement released by the university. "The appreciation that (wife) Ellen and I have for the Buckeye Nation is immeasurable."
Luke Fickell will be the coach for the 2011 season. He already had been selected to be the interim head coach while Tressel served a five-game suspension.
Ohio State spokesman Jim Lynch said he was unaware of any buyout or severance package. He added that Tressel had returned from vacation Sunday night and met with athletic director Gene Smith, who then met with staff. Tressel typed his resignation and submitted it to Smith, he said.
Tressel's downfall came with public and media pressure mounting on Ohio State, its board of trustees, President E. Gordon Gee and Smith.
"We look forward to refocusing the football program on doing what we do best -- representing this extraordinary university and its values on the field, in the classroom, and in life," Smith said in a statement. "We look forward to supporting Luke Fickell in his role as our football coach. We have full confidence in his ability to lead our football program."
Tressel and Ohio State were to go before the NCAA's infractions committee Aug. 12 to answer questions about the player violations and why Tressel did not report them. For more than nine months, he denied knowledge of improper benefits to players until confronted by investigators with emails that showed he had known since April 2010.
Did you ever notice, when you put the 2 words ' The' and ' IRS ' together it spells 'Theirs...'? Tis the season............

FREMONT — Thanks to help from police and a social media employee, the owners of a wedding album found under a tree outside a city day care center last week have been located, police said.
A parent whose child attends the day care found the album encased in a gold briefcase outside a Kindercare Child Care Center on the 38700 block of Paseo Padre Parkway on Nov. 20. Its cover reads "Happy Wedding 12/04/2008 in USA" and "Vijay weds Ranjit."
After the album was discovered, police issued a news release that included a photo of the album and of the married couple asking the public's help in finding them.
After hearing about the find, a Facebook employee began a search on the social media site and found someone who appeared to be the husband in the photographs, police spokeswoman Geneva Bosques said.
The employee then contacted the person about the album. The husband, who Bosques said lives in Union City, recently traveled to India and said that when he left the United States the album was in a Union City storage unit. Police are investigating the possibility of a break-in at that storage facility.
Bosques said the man told the Facebook employee he would send an in-law to pick up the album.
Anyone with information about the incident can call police at 510-790-6800 or at the anonymous tip line at 510-494-4856.

Care for some Motley Crüe musak? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHP6U5vQ3mU
Following the incident the NSST ran into with terrorists, leaving the High Priest dead, the emperor of the Hy Brasilian Time Empire has called a council with his three strongest sons
Emperor Heinrich von Shürk
Prince Doviculus
Prince Jön von Maaerk
Prince Shawn the Bold
My sons, I have called you hear for a task most important. As you may have heard, the High Priest of the NSST has passed away. There is an attempt to resurrect his body on a border town we know as Känae. We must not let this happen. If it is stopped, we will be unstoppable in battle as the Trueseers and the Chaos will erupt into civil war over the successor to the clergy. I require one of you to lead the attack.
Father, I must duly decline. I have my wedding to attend to, and past campaigns have postponed it for far too long.
As must I. You know I continue to wage war against the very same nomads who slew the High Priest. We are close to victory, so close I can taste it.
Father, it seems as I am the only one left to campaign. But many of my forces are my brother Shawn's theater of war. I am afraid I must borrow other troops.
Never mind that fact. Take what forces you have, Stormtroopers, and your brother BlackHawks and Peach marines. Also, drag along your criminal brother and his squad. Do not fail me.
It shall be done, my lord.
NSST Forces: 2 squads of infantry, 2 medics, 1 tank, 1 mech, 2 snipers, various members of the clergy, paladins, Christov II, Artourios the Mighty.
Hy Brasil: 1 medium tank, 1 troop transport truck, 1 DefBuggy, 1 squad of Stormtroopers, 1 squad of Peach Marines, 1 squad of Blackhawk Stormtroopers, BAMF Squad, Prince Doviculus, (Formerly Prince) Captain Riggen von Staerp.
Hy Brasilian
Resurrection altar, with clergy
I'll be updating this by turns, so this is to give you a little filler. I could've sworn I took more pictures.

Calendar Meeting List
"The Last Night of Ballyhoo" presented by The New Depot Players
- Date: 10/01/2017 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
- Location: Conyers-Rockdale Council for the Arts Black Box Theater
910 Center Street
Conyers, Georgia 30012
THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, in December of 1939. Gone with the Wind is having its world premiere, and Hitler is invading Poland, but Atlanta's elitist German Jews are much more concerned with who is going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the season. Especially concerned is the Freitag family: bachelor Adolph, his widowed sister, Beulah (Boo) Levy, and their also widowed sister-in-law, Reba. Boo is determined to have her dreamy, unpopular daughter, Lala, attend Ballyhoo, believing it will be Lala's last chance to find a socially acceptable husband. Adolph brings his new assistant, Joe Farkas, home for dinner. Joe is Brooklyn born and bred, and furthermore is of Eastern European heritage—several social rungs below the Freitags, in Beulah's opinion. Lala, however, is charmed by Joe and she hints broadly about being taken to Ballyhoo, but he turns her down. This enrages Boo, and matters get worse when Joe falls for Lala's cousin, Reba's daughter, Sunny, home from Wellesley for Christmas vacation. Will Boo succeed in snaring Peachy Weil, a member of one of the finest Jewish families in the South? Will Sunny and Joe avoid the land mines of prejudice that stand in their way? Will Lala ever get to Ballyhoo? The family gets pulled apart and then mended together with plenty of comedy, romance and revelations along the way. Events take several unexpected turns as the characters face where they come from and are forced to deal with who they really are.
The New Depot Players present "The Last Night of Ballyhoo" at the Black Box Theater at 910 Center Street in Olde Town Conyers. Show times are September 28-30 at 8 p.m., October 1 at 3 p.m., and October 5-7 at 8 p.m. and October 8 at 3 p.m. Tickets are available at www.thenewdepotplayers.com.

University Professor: Candy Crush Is Turning Children Into Obsessive Gamblers
from the think-of-the-royal-flushes! dept
Here is a brief list of all the definitive information we have about the effects of video games on children. Violent video games make children more violent. Violent video games do not make children more violent. Video games make children less sympathetic to their fellow humans. Video games make children more sympathetic to their fellow humans. Video games cause severe health problems in children. Video games have health benefits for children. And, above all else, we know that parents in the United States are so certain that video games are a problem for their children that they brilliantly ignore the tools at their disposal to help them act like, you know, parents.
Whoo. Sort of takes your breath away, doesn't it? Well, we aren't done yet, apparently, now that another study supposedly shows that (sigh) video games are turning our precious youth into wannabe Doyle Brunsons and the only remedy is
attentive parents the ever-effective school systems to educate kids about gambling games.
Prof Mark Griffiths, director of the International Gaming Research Unit, based at Nottingham Trent University, said large numbers of under-16s were becoming hooked on games often accessed through social media websites. Many sites provide opportunities to play online poker with virtual money or give users a free introductory session to cash-gambling games with no age restrictions.Free versions of poker and gambling sites are turning children into gambling addicts. Got it. How are they doing this, professor?
Speaking to the Times Educational Supplement, he said these games introduced young people to the excitement and rewards of gambling even when they are not playing for real money, adding: "It's a bit like the old drug-dealing analogy of giving a bit for free and hooking them in."Ah, it's so simple! If you offer something for free and reward the user, they'll become hopelessly hooked and think they can earn real rewards in real life! Like drug dealers do! And play-money gambling sites! And the way Farmville has spawned a bunch of kids now hopelessly trying to grow plants out of their concrete sidewalks! Or how that free NFL game where you run back kickoffs has somehow magically convinced zillions of kids that they're Devin Hester.
Sorry, not buying it. Kids, by and large, are far more intelligent than we give them credit for. But, hey, it's not like the professor is only picking on poker sites.
Prof Griffiths identified games such as Candy Crush Saga which has been downloaded more than 500m times and gives players the option of paying money to access higher levels. He said that these games had a "moreishness quality, a bit like chocolate".So...the game being fun and costing something is the problem? Look, I dislike micropayments as much as the next person, but deciding that Candy Crush has caused a need for gambling education in every school in the UK is a bit like saying that because kids read comic books they should have to take a lesson on some of the unfortunate squeeze-effects of wearing superhero tights. It's just a little overboard.
"You say you'll just have one chunk and you end up having the whole lot," he said. "So you say, 'I'll just play for 15 minutes', and you end up still there four or five hours later."
And, I ask, knowing that this will be laughed off by my children-having peers, why is there no mention of parenting anywhere in these recommendations? I played cards with my friends as a child. I played free online poker when I was in high school. All the education I needed to know that I wasn't Phil Helmuth was my father pulling up a picture of the Las Vegas strip and saying, "They didn't build those enormous buildings by letting people win." That, along with some attentive parenting, ought to be enough.

Student or Learner
I'd like to know what noun I should use to call such things as abortion, capital punishment, euthanasia, human clone and stem cell research.
I'd like to use 'controversial' at the top of the phrase.
My candidate is 'the controversial life and death related issue including abortion, capital punishment, euthanasia ,,,'.
Is this OK? Is there any other good expression? Thanks in advance!
tdol, thank you. Sorry for my poor explanation.
I'll toss up an example.
'Legalizing euthanasia could affect other life related issues such as abortion and capital punishment.'
In the above example, "life related issues' is acceptable?
Is there any other good expression?
Hmmmm- 'life and death' probably isn't very good because it's ambiguous, so how about 'affecting the right to life'? My first tholughts- I'll see if I can come up with something better.
Originally Posted by tdol
...Pro-Life issues maybe?
Thank you.
I ran 'Pro Life issues such as' through Google and got good results.
Last edited by peppy_man; 21-May-2005 at 10:48.
However, pro-life isn't really OK for the death penalty, and it isn't a pro-life issue for people in favour or abortion.
Originally Posted by tdol

hmm,,, 'Right to live issues' and 'Right to Life issues' are the candidates.
but I'm not sure the subtle difference between the two..
I'm a bit confused.
I've not known that 'Pro Life' isn't really OK for the death penalty.
To be honest, those around me do not talk about this kind of things
so I'm not familiar with it.
tdol, did you come up with something better?
In the UK, we use the term 'roght to life' because that is the legal term used. You have a right to life in that people shouldn't act in ways that could stop that right. However, do you have a right to live? that's less clear to me because where does a heart attack fit in?
The pro-life camp in the Sates are the ones campaigning against the right to have abortions, but they are also generally pro the death penalty, while those in favour of abortion, pro-choice, generally tend to oppose the death penalty- funny old world. In the UK, the debate about abortion is much less important than in the States, and the death penalty is history- in the EU, it is banned in all nations and you cannot join the EU unless you abolish it, so it's another debate you don't hear much of here. My choice would be 'right to life', but that would appear to be BrE, so choose whichever you prefer.

Spanish princess accused of corruption, summoned to testify in court
A Spanish court summoned King Juan Carlos' youngest daughter Cristina as a suspect over tax and money-laundering crimes on Tuesday, a first for a direct relative of the monarch.
Cristina, 48, has been linked to the business affairs of her husband, former Olympic handball player Inaki Urdangarin, who is under investigation for alleged embezzlement of public funds.
The decision by a court in Majorca is a major blow against the prestige of the 76-year-old Spanish king, who became head of state after the death in 1975 of General Francisco Franco and helped guide the country's transition to democracy.
His popularity sliding because of royal scandals, Juan Carlos appeared tired yesterday as he presided over a military parade while supported on crutches, his first public appearance since undergoing an operation to replace his left hip on November 21.
The judge in Majorca, Jose Castro, has been investigating the corruption allegations against Cristina's husband since 2010. In summoning Cristina, he overruled opposition by the public prosecutor.
In his written ruling, the judge said he had decided to hear Cristina's testimony "about alleged tax and money laundering crimes", summoning her to appear on March 8 as part of an investigation that could lead to formal charges.
Manos Limpias, a litigious far-right pressure group, lodged the suit against Cristina alleging tax evasion and money laundering, although tax authorities have not brought any charges and public prosecutors have said there is no case to answer.
The judge in the Majorca court is investigating allegations that Urdangarin and a former business partner embezzled USD 8 million in public funds via the Noos Institute, a charitable foundation that he chaired.
Cristina was a member of the board of Noos and with her husband jointly owned another company, Aizoon, which investigators suspect served as a front for laundering the embezzled funds.
The Majorca judge had summoned Cristina on suspicion of corruption once before, in spring 2012, but that decision was overruled following an appeal by the prosecutor.
Juan Carlos is widely respected for his role in Spain's transition to democracy after the death of Franco.
But his standing among Spaniards has been damaged by the corruption scandal, and outrage over a luxury African elephant-hunting safari he took in 2012.
His health problems together with the scandals have raised speculation about the future of his reign.

Affleck v. Harris and the Different Shades of Islamophobia
I never thought I would live to write the words that will follow, but here goes. I am grateful to Ben Affleck. Not particularly for his outrage or his insights on Bill Maher's show, which, albeit entertaining, were not exactly all that insightful, but more so for bringing a particular brand of Islamophobia to the attention of the world - the kind peddled by we-love-liberalism-ers like Bill Maher and Sam Harris.

Ways to Say 'No' More Effectively

text: Mandatory COOL Needs Reworking to Comply with WTO July 1, 2012 08:20 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Drovers Editors Email On Friday, the World Trade Organization Appellate Body upheld earlier findings that the U.S. mandatory country-of-origin labeling (COOL) law violates the WTO Technical Barriers to Trade Agreement. The WTO said the labeling requirement itself is legal, but the way it is administered unfairly makes beef and pork from livestock born in Canada and Mexico more expensive to produce. The process requires extensive record keeping, and the animals must be kept separate from American-born cows and pigs. The report states, "the Appellate Body found that the COOL measure lacks even-handedness because its recordkeeping and verification requirements impose a disproportionate burden on upstream producers and processors of livestock as compared to the information conveyed to consumers through the mandatory labelling requirements for meat sold at the retail level. That is, although a large amount of information must be tracked and transmitted by upstream producers for purposes of providing consumers with information on origin, only a small amount of this information is actually communicated to consumers in an understandable or accurate manner, including because a considerable proportion of meat sold in the United States is not subject to the COOL measure's labelling requirements at all." The Appellate Body also reversed the DSP finding that "it does not fulfil its legitimate objective of providing consumers with information on origin" but was unable to complete the legal analysis and determine whether the COOL measure is more trade restrictive than necessary to meet its objective. The DSP will adopt the Appellate Body report at its next meeting on July 23, at which time the U.S. must begin efforts to comply. "We are pleased with today's ruling, which affirmed the United States' right to adopt labeling requirements that provide information to American consumers about the meat they buy," said United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk. Congress, however, needs to rework the law in order to come under compliance. Under WTO rules, Mexico and Canada can impose trade sanctions against the United States if the current labeling requirements stay in effect. In a statement, National Cattlemen's Beef Association Vice President Bob McCan said, "NCBA worked with Canada and Mexico to prevent any retaliatory action that could have occurred from the unfortunate decision made by the U.S. government to appeal the initial ruling. Cattlemen deserve a government that fights for and protects our opportunities. We need a government that not only demands WTO compliance of our trade partners but one that ensures the United States is abiding by these same guidelines. We are committed to working with this administration and Congress to find a permanent solution to this issue in order to bring the United States back into compliance. It is absolutely critical that the United States leads by example." Back to news

The human kidney is comprised of 12 or more sections called renal pyramids. A renal pyramid is a triangular sector of a kidney that comprises the medulla of the organ. The structure chiefly consists of numerous tubules that convey urine from the cortex of the kidney, where the waste product is generated, to cup-shaped cavities called calyces that hold and collect the urine until it eventually travels to the bladder via the ureter. The point of a renal pyramid, which contains numerous tiny openings that extend into a calyx, is known as a papilla. The small apertures allow urine to pass through the papilla into the calyx. Although human kidneys contain many renal pyramids, other animals may exhibit a significantly smaller number. For instance, the species Rattus norvegicus that is associated with the NRK cell line only features a single renal pyramid per kidney.
The microtubules present in the culture of normal rat kidney cells featured in the digital image above were immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-tubulin (pan) mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488. Golgi bodies were simultaneously targeted with rabbit anti-giantin primary antibodies, followed by goat anti-rabbit secondaries conjugated to Texas Red. The ultraviolet-absorbing probe Hoechst 33342 was utilized to counterstain nuclei. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Holly Hansen, President of Family History Expos, welcomed a nice crowd to the 3rd Georgia Family History Expo Friday afternoon.
The keynote "The Secrets to Research in Georgia" was presented by Robert S. Davis, Director of the Genealogy Program of Wallace State Community College in Hanceville, Alabama. If you ever have an opportunity to hear him speak, don't miss it.
The rest of the day was filled with twenty-eight classes presented over four time slots starting at 3:30 and ending at 8:40. I was very happy with the four choices I made.
Jennifer Dondero covered sources for historic maps, like the Newberry Library's Atlas of Historical County Boundries and demonstrated overlaying them in Google Earth to identify property locations in "Georgia Land, Maps and Technology."
My second class was also with Jennifer. In "Clueless? Maybe Not!", she presented a case study (and who doesn't love case studies?) showing how to use existing records to answer a question that can't be directly answered by any one record.
Tonia Kendrick covered using spreadsheets to analyze census data and create research logs, mind mapping to brainstorm research plans and sort out naming patterns and note-taking apps to organize, store and access information in "Non-Genealogy Tools to Help Your Family History Research." Be sure to check Tonia's blog, Tonia's Roots, for posts coming soon detailing a couple of the spreadsheets she mentioned.
My final session of the day was "Content Planning for Genealogy Bloggers - How to Stay Organized and Never Be Without a Post Idea Again" with Tonia. I've struggled recently with blogging and hope to get back on track by the first of the year. Tonia had some great tips that will help me do just that. She discussed planning content in advance to avoid writer's block and using Mind-Mapping to brainstorm a topic into multiple types of blog posts.
For more about the Georgia Famiy History Expo, check out the other official bloggers and follow the hashtag #fhexpo on Twitter. If you are in the greater Atlanta area, there is another full day tomorrow at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth.

Boat Test Videos
Content courtesy ofAt first, Beneteau's Gran Turismo 38 resembles every other hardtop express cruiser of similar size, but look closer and you'll find some cool differences: First, the GT 38 has round opening ports in her hull, along with large windows amidships and forward – a nice mix of traditional and modern. Her side decks are asymmetrical, giving her designers more leeway in creating the layout. Her helm is on the centerline, not tucked against the side of the pilothouse. And she even has an easy chair in the cockpit.
Key Features
Prices, features, designs, and equipment are subject to change. Please see your local dealer or visit the builder's website for the latest information available on this boat model.
By Captain Steve Larivee
Distinguishing Features
We think the GT 38 is a noteworthy boat for a number of reasons. While she may look similar to many other express hardtops in class, there are some important differences.
Air Step Hull.
First, is her Air Step Hull which we think gives her demonstrably better performance than the same hull without this design. Our testing has shown that the step is not just something that helps the boat at WOT, but also at all planing speeds.
Diesel sterndrive.
In the US there are not many 38-footers on the market with diesel power, fewer still that drive sterndrive lower units. This is an efficient combination, giving the owner the economy and range of diesel engines, and the efficiency of dual prop pod drives.
In Beneteau's application, the joystick is standard.
Centerline Helm.
There are a number of advantages to a centerline helm and the GT 38 takes advantage of them. First, three people can sit facing forward. Second, obviously, the skipper is equidistant from each side of the boat making docking a bit easier on one side. Third, there is no fore-and-aft bench seat with people being forced to sit sideways while underway.
Centerline Access to Mid-cabin.
We can think of only a few boats that have centerline access to the mid-cabin in class. This, combined with the engines shoved all the way back to the transom means that this full-beam cabin can have large twin berths running fore-and-aft. If a double is wanted, simply insert a small platform and sleep athwartships.
Natural Light Below.
More and more builders of express boats are discovering techniques of getting more sunlight below. This is an important attribute and it is done on the GT 38 better than on most other boats in class.
A "Step" in the Right Direction
The GT 38 was built with the patented Air Step hull from Beneteau. I've tested a large number of boats in this class and have come to expect the performance parameters to be within a certain window and I'm rarely off. The GT 38 was one of those exceptions. My expectations went out the window as everything I anticipated from the 38's performance was off -- and for the better!
Acceleration was the first thing I noticed a difference in. The Air Step hull really showed itself with the 38's quick acceleration. I measured only 5.4 seconds to plane. This is in a boat with a test weight of over 18,000 lbs. (8,181 kgs.) and a 12'2" (3.71 m) beam. The Gran Turismo 38 was getting on plane within a second of a 4,000 lb. (1,814 kgs.) sportboat with an 8'6" (2.59 m) beam!
20 mph came and went in 7.6 seconds, and we accelerated through 30 mph in 12.3 seconds. Again, all of this performance is just a shade off the marks set by average sportboats. If the driver wants to pull wakeboarders behind this boat, they'll have the time of their lives! (To see a demonstration of this remarkable design, see BoatTEST.com's video on the Beneteau Air Step...)
No Pounding
Running back and forth across wakes showed a marked improvement in the way the 38 penetrates waves compared to others in class. We tended to slice through the waves until reaching the center of the hull, and then continued in a slightly elevated angle catching air underneath. Coming around across our wake just had us gently bouncing over the waves and continuing on course with none of that aggravating back and forth in the heel angle that one would normally expect on a deep-V with a sharp keel. After crossing, a big wake re-entry was gentle and uncharacteristically smooth. Both with contacting the wave, and coming back down, I was braced for the hull to pound, but it never came. The entire action was smooth and gentle.
Agile Turning
Turns were another area where this boat handled differently -- and more sprightly -- than most conventional express cruisers. At full speed, I cranked the wheel hard over and we simply entered a 5-degree bank and nearly pivoted around with no grab or slide. It seemed as if the combination of the sterndrives aft and the Air Step together moved the stern around with unusual alacrity. To get a better idea of what I am talking about, be sure to pay close attention in the performance video where we show the GT 38 turning and one will see what I mean. Steering is very responsive with 2-1/2 turns from lock-to-lock so if the driver tends to operate in an area, as I do, that is inevitably plagued with pot buoys then they'll find comfort in the quick handling characteristics of the Gran Turismo 38.
Sterndrive Power for Performance
The second aspect of the boat leading to optimum performance is the fact that it is driven not by conventional inboard drives or even pods, but rather by sterndrive lower units. Because the drives are so far aft and the Volvo Penta Duoprop drives are horizontal to the surface of the water, the standard D4 300-hp diesels can deliver efficient propulsion to the 16,464-lb. (7,470-kg.), dry, boat. Bear in mind that Beneteau's objective is not to produce the fastest boat possible, which would mean putting in high-horsepower fuel-guzzling engines, but rather to power the boat in such a way that it can have a good turn of speed at best cruise where most people run their boats most of the time, and be fuel-efficient.With an empty weight of 16,199 lbs. (7,348 kgs.), full fuel, and 3 people onboard, we had a test weight of just over 18,000 lbs. (8,181 kgs.). With the twin 300-hp Volvo Penta D4 diesel engines turning DP outdrives, we reached a top speed of 34.7 kts at 3500 rpm. At that speed we were burning 39.7 gph for a range of 181 nautical miles with a 10% reserve. Best cruise came in at 3000 rpm and 28.7 kts, where we had a 21.3 gph fuel burn and a range of 208 nautical miles with a 10% reserve. When we compare the GT 38 to other boats in class with both gas and diesel engines we find that the GT 38 compares favorably with both and in some cases, actually goes faster than similar boats with larger gas engines.
In virtually every case we checked, the GT 38 out-performed other diesel-powered boats in class with comparable power.
Deck Layout
The swim platform measures 4'6'' x 9'x 6'' (1.37 m x 2.90 m). Our test boat had the optional passerelle installed. Just below was a camera feeding into the helm display. Access to the cockpit is via a small step to the starboard.
The side decks were quite easy to access thanks to two steps from the cockpit and a very conveniently located handrail mounted to the aft end of the hardtop. There are no rails along the hardtop, but there is a molded-in groove that serves the purpose of keeping one secure in conjunction with the 25" (63.5 cm) high side rails.
At the bow, is a large sun pad that measures 6' (1.8 m). There are no rails to the sides but there are drink holders. Non-skid covers the entire deck. At the bow, a Lewmar windlass is concealed under a hatch. There's an opening to the side of the windlass that allows the boater to reach in and deal with any tangles that may occur in the rode. A remote control for the windlass is mounted in this opening, but it's quite a long reach in. I had to kneel on the deck, and swing my arm far down to reach it, which due to the non-skid was a bit uncomfortable for my knees since I was wearing shorts. I'd rather see foot controls installed on the foredeck.
The cockpit certainly isn't lacking seating on the 38. Large U-shaped seating is to port with a wood table in the center. The table folds to provide more room and exposes a grab handle in this position. Opened up, it is large enough for dining at the settee or the lounger to starboard. The table is a high-low so it easily converts into a sun lounge and an option is available to electrically actuate raising and lowering the table. The table is mounted to a hatch leading to the engine compartment. The aft facing lounger is immediately to starboard and is fixed in the chaise position. Ahead and to port is an entertainment center with a sink as standard. Our test boat was equipped with the optional grill and cockpit refrigerator, and I wouldn't want my 38 equipped any other way.
The helm is elevated 9" (22.9 cm) off the bridge deck in order to create extra headroom below in the mid-cabin. Standing next to the helm I have good visibility through the large forward windshield, but standing behind the helm I'm looking at the sunroof frame. At cruise the bow was roughly 5-degrees high which improved forward visibility, so this is the time to be standing behind the helm. Otherwise take a seat. If the boater does choose to stand, they'll notice a departure from most Euro-designed boats in that there is 6' 3" (1.9 m) of standing headroom behind the helm with the sunroof in the closed position.
Our test boat had the optional Simrad display which was dwarfed by the space in the panel. Up to a 15" (38 cm) display will fit if desired but the Simrad is the only model currently offered by Beneteau. However, this is an option and one is free to install whatever they'd like. An autopilot and radar are also offered as optional, and since I cruise in all sorts of weather, I'd consider both on my 38.
Below Decks
As we proceed down below, I notice that Beneteau did a great job of adding natural light to the cabin with a massive piece of smoked glass just ahead of the helm console. At left of the companionway is the ship's electrical panel and stereo with a leather wrapped stainless grab handle. Immediately I noticed that there's plenty of storage in the salon, including a shelf behind the settee for quickly tossing items in, like a good book. There's an L-shaped settee with a high-low table, an option calls for making the table electrically actuated.
Across from the dinette is the galley with the usual cast of appliances. A gas stove is connected to a hookup in the cockpit and the microwave and fridge are concealed behind cabinets above and below. A single basin sink is next to a counter that nicely accommodates a drying dish rack as it is beveled and drains into the sink.
There's a wet head just abaft the galley with natural light above, and an opening portlight to the side adds ventilation.
Berth Right
At the forward end of the salon is a privacy door, not just a curtain, to the forward stateroom. One thing that continually impresses me about Beneteau is the simple fact that I never have to look for a light switch. Just as in one's house, all switches are right inside the doorway, so the boater will never have to search in a dark cabin for a way to turn the lights on, and they are all "hot-wired" so they won't have to search for the breaker in the dark either. Why this simple concept escapes so many builders is a mystery to me.
The forward berth is an island queen accessible only from the front. Two elongated hullside windows and two opening portlights add natural light and ventilation, and there's also an overhead hatch for light, ventilation and egress. I noted the usual cast of storage compartments with one additional… a drawer recessed into the step to starboard.
Abaft the salon/galley is another stateroom behind a privacy door, this time with twin berths convertible to a queen. I noted good standing headroom but if the boater sits on the berth to the right, which is the portside, then watch one's head. The deck above comes down at this point and I knocked my noggin, but if it happens to someone, relax… it only happens once. As this cabin is geared more towards two people, there's increased storage space in the form of shelves in cabinets under the portlights.
The Beneteau GT 38 is certainly a slick-looking yacht, with lots of innovative features that we like: the extended hardtop, the big on-deck dinette, the centerline helm and large mid-ship cabin made possible by the sterndrive engines and the centerline helm. When we compare the 38's basic specs with other boats in class we find that her beam of 12'2'' (3.71 m) is in the middle of the pack, and her displacement of 16,464 lbs. (7,470 kgs.) is on the low side of the middle range. Her max headroom of 6'4'' (1.92 m) is a bit less than American-built boats and both her water and fuel tankage are the lowest in class.This is not unusual as European boats typically have smaller tanks. Consumers should keep in mind that diesel-powered boats have greater range than gas-powered boats and that lugging around unneeded fuel burns extra fuel needlessly. The GT 38 should cruise in the high 20-knot range for about 10 hours with 10% reserve.

Fingerprint Identification System
To secure personal privacy, deter identity theft or establish secure, accurate and reliable identification has become a national priority in many countries and societies (e.g. companies, governments...) in the world. Biometrics based authentication and identification provides much higher level of security and accuracy than any other authentication method currently in place.
Reasons behind biometric identification :
- Increased security needs, both from government as well as company sides
- Demand for greatly increased level of security related processes
- Reliable technology solutions providing greater accuracy
This results in overwhelming challenge to ensure proper and secure authentication in daily life. Personal biometric systems present themselves as key element to provide high level and state of the art quality personal authentication. Biometric based authentication is the only unique and reliable personal identification which provides answer to above challenges.

Three decades ago the big Aussie red of choice for me was Jim Barry The Armagh.
First, it was readily available, secondly, it was big, bruising and burst-ing with dense blackcurrant flavours and, finally, I liked the label immensely. Printed on high-quality, parchment-like, putty-coloured paper, it looked as if it had been handwritten with an old-fashioned feather quill pen dipped in purple grape juice.
In small letters was "Jim Barry" and then, simply, "The Armagh". As I recall it was always $45 a bottle, which in the 80s was a significant sum of money for a red wine from anywhere.
Inflation and a growing reputation now has The Armagh sitting at around $265 a bottle - but even so it has a dedicated band of fine-wine followers.
The good news for the rest of us is that the Jim Barry brand from Australia's revered Clare Valley has a range of excellent wines at prices that are affordable.
The business is run by Jim's son Peter these days and, with a significant acreage of priceless old-vine vineyards, he continues the twin traditions of excellence and innovation.
"In the wine game you've always got to bring in new customers. You lose 10 per cent every year for all sorts of reasons," says Jim.
He treats the vines like family and is full of knowledge and enthusiasm about what sites are producing what particular style of wine.
"With our Florita riesling we've found that after 30 years these wines are now developing marmalade characters ... whereas our Lodge Hill riesling is 480m above sea level, one of the highest vineyards in the Clare Valley, and with the cool nights and warm days it gives us flavours that are more restrained and elegant."
The first vintage of The Armagh was 1985 and New Zealand was its first export market.
"In 1987 we got the wines into Antoine's fine dining restaurant in Parnell," recalls Jim.
"Tony Astle took The Armagh, along with a selection of others, on his wine list. That was the start of building the brand in New Zealand."
2012 Jim Barry Lodge Hill Riesling - $25
If you prefer your riesling bone dry, then this is perfect, from fruit that is well shaded and not overly ripe. With lots of lemon twist flavour and a teeth-clenching bite.
2010 Jim Barry The Cover Drive - $25
A big seller in New Zealand, this 100 per cent cabernet sauvignon is not as overwhelming as you might expect. It has lots of red fruit flavours with a hint of mint and earthiness. This is good value and a perfect alfresco summer red for the barbecue.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — In a federal criminal case that has the markings of sex, money, betrayal and a handsome politician's fall from grace, former presidential candidate John Edwards' trial for alleged campaign finance violations opens Monday in Greensboro, N.C.
Edwards is accused of accepting more than $900,000 in illegal contributions during his 2008 bid for the Democratic presidential nomination to pay the expenses of his mistress and hide the extramarital affair that, if revealed to voters, almost certainly would have derailed his campaign and shattered his public image as a devoted family man.
The former senator from North Carolina has pleaded not guilty to six criminal counts related to campaign finance violations. If convicted of all charges, Edwards faces up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines. Opening arguments are scheduled to begin Monday morning and the much-anticipated trial is expected to last at least six weeks.
Prosecutors contend that bills paid by two Edwards benefactors, Rachel "Bunny'' Mellon, a banking heiress from Virginia, and the late Fred Baron, a Texas lawyer, actually were unreported campaign contributions designed to cover up his affair with Rielle Hunter, a campaign videographer who gave birth to his daughter.

McCluskeys in and out for Morton
Jamie McCluskey is added to the Morton squad for the League Cup visit of Berwick.
He comes in but his younger brother Stefan misses out after dislocating his shoulder. Andrew Barrowman is also absent due to a hamstring problem but Sean Crighton is available to play after a ban.
Greenock manager Jim Duffy said: "We progressed in the Petrofac Cup last weekend against Spartans and that is the objective against Berwick as well. I know from facing them when I was with Clyde last season that they are a decent side.
"They have kept hold of that squad and added a couple of other players that has strengthened them, so we are in for a tough afternoon."
Visitng player/manager Colin Cameron is an injury doubt with a pelvic problem but Ross Gray (knee) definitely misses out for Berwick.
Ben Miller is available after holiday commitments with Lee Currie also returning after a ban kept him out of the penalty shoot-out success over Queen's Park last Friday.
Rangers boss Cameron said: "This is a great game for us as we have nothing to lose. Morton are favourites but we have players that can cause them problems and we will have a go.
"We beat Queen's Park because everybody worked hard and we need the same approach to have any chance in this game."

Formalities In Place For First Ever Audi Melges 20 World Championship
8 December 2013
Key Largo, FL - Sunday marked the start of activities at Ocean Reef Club in high anticipation of the very first ever Audi Melges 20 World Championship, fully supported by Melges USA and Coconut Grove Sailing Club. The day came to a perfect close with teams gathering at the home of George and Patty Lucas for an incredible, yet casual and easy kick-off dinner party.
At high noon, teams assembled in an organized line for launching boats and inspection. Rob Wilber's Cinghiale, Trey Sheehan's Flat Stanley/Hooligan Racing, Skip Shapiro's Makiara and John Kilroy's Samba Pa Ti were along those that finally put it on wax in preparation of the start of the Championship.
Registration gets fully underway on Monday with sail measurement commencing in the same location. Boat measurement and inspection continues as teams set-up for more practice time and the rest of the fleet ascends upon Ocean Reef Club.

To the Editor:
On March 19, the same day Senator John McCain told his Republican party members, "I think we ought to respect the right of women to make choices in their lives and make that clear," a Rhode Island Democrat woman offered a bill similar to the one on which McCain based his complaint.
I have tried to overlook the Republican nonsense concerning women's issues, being a woman well past my childbearing years and not affected by some of the outrageous laws being brought forward; however, this morning (March 19, 2012) the article in the Providence Journal with the headline "Abortion Bill Requires Fetus Description" was the final straw. No, maybe the final straw was that this bill was sponsored by a Democrat. Does Rhode Island feel we have to join the bandwagon of crazy politicians waging war on women?
I am terrified about the laws that have been passed or sponsored by mostly male politicians. I don't feel that the majority of women contemplate an abortion procedure lightly. To make that process harder and make the woman feel guilty is just unconscionable. Women have enough painful procedures to endure without adding more. To tell a doctor what he has to do in the privacy of his office with his patient is just plain wrong. What goes on in the doctor's office is private; not something dictated by laws or men.
As far as contraceptives, "Mr. Neanderthal" Rick Santorum and his cronies are way off base. Everyone who is on this planet must be following the stories of horrendous child abuse cases. Maybe these children shouldn't have been born to suffer. Just because Mr. Santorum has eight children doesn't mean every woman should have eight children. It has been stated time and again that Planned Parenthood does not use federal funds to fund abortions, yet the governor of Texas needs more proof and when he gets it, dismisses it. For many women, health care is just too expensive or not available. Planned Parenthood is their savior. Mr. Santorum can't force an entire nation to adopt his rigid religious beliefs. What happened to freedom of choice?
Finally, I am appalled that your newspaper has not been inundated by women concerning these issues. When I watch the news and see women cheering for Mr. Santorum and Mr. Romney, I wonder if these women are paying attention to the issues or just the faces of these men. Surely all these women can't be religious fanatics. If even half of these laws are passed, we will be taking giant steps backward on women's rights. I can only hope that on Election Day, in the privacy of the election booth, women vote against these men who certainly don't seem to like women very much.
Brenda Nordin
War on Women? Why does trying to save unborn babies become a war on women? More than half the women in America don't agree with you Brenda.

Hit the road, Jack.
That may well be the take-away for musicians when reading Calendar's annual Ultimate Top 10 list, a ranking that combines income from recordings as well as the concert box office to show who had the most lucrative years according to numbers reported by Nielsen SoundScan and the concert industry-tracking publication Pollstar.
Since the Ultimate Top 10 began in 1998, there's often been a sizable split between the acts that make their nut from touring and those earning most of their money at physical and virtual cash registers from recordings.
Best of 2012: Movies | TV | Pop music | Jazz | Video Games| Art | Theater | Dance | Classical music
In 2012, however, all but one of the acts that finished in the Top 10 made it primarily — or exclusively — from their concerts. The exception was the ever-exceptional Adele, who, for the first time since SoundScan began tracking retail sales in 1991, claimed the same bestselling album two years in a row with "21."

Election's over…now what? It's time for the transition.
With the election in the rearview mirror, you know as well as I do that the fun is only just beginning. The federal government's obligatory ritual is upon us and with less than eighty days to prepare, a lot of change is underway as we enter President Obama's second term.
We will be speaking with the experts on administration transitions to find key lessons learned to help you navigate the weeks and months ahead. Keep an eye out for our ongoing coverage – but in the meantime, check out video from our conference in September. Patricia McGinnis, former President and CEO of the Council for Excellence in Government and current professor of practice at The George Washington University moderated a panel discussion entitled, "Strategies for Navigating Transition: What to Expect After the Election," featuring:
- Hon Clay Johnson III, Former Deputy Director for Management, Office of Management and Budget, 2003-2008
- RADM John Acton, Executive Director, Leader Development, Department of Homeland Security
- Lisa Brown, Acting Chief Performance Officer, Office of Management and Budget
During the 2008 transition, the Partnership for Public Service presented some Do's and Don'ts for Department of Education officials seeking guidance as the new administration took office. Here is what they had to say:
The Seven "Don'ts," or, How Not to Survive:
- Start with, "That's not going to work because…"
- Be a "yes" man or woman
- Criticize the former political team
- Be ready to tell the new team what they need to do
- Hide potential problems (not bad news)
- Wait out any changes with which you disagree
- Assume all your assumptions about the new team are correct
The Seven "Do's," or How to Thrive:
- Learn about any new priorities, goals, etc.
- Be open to and ready for change – listen first
- Be honest about problems or "landmines"
- Anticipate questions and have constructive answers
- Develop suggestions to address external criticisms
- Assume the best until proven wrong
- Focus on the desired end result/outcome and work backward to figure out how best to get there
Read more about surviving transition here.
What tips do you have for navigating during periods of transition?

Fetal Blood Transfusion
(Intrauterine Transfusion; IUT; Intraperitoneal Transfusion; IPT)
by Suzanne Cote
This procedure is done when a fetus suffers from severe anemia. Anemia is a lack of red blood cells. A transfusion means giving the fetus red blood cells from a donor.
There are 2 types of fetal blood transfusions:
Reasons for Procedure TOP
A transfusion is needed when the fetus's blood count falls too low. Severe anemia in a fetus can cause death. Anemia can be caused by:
The goals of fetal blood transfusions are to:
Possible Complications TOP
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems like:
What to Expect TOP
Prior to Procedure
Tests may be done to see if the fetus has severe anemia or fetal hydrops.
Body fluids may be examined. This can be done with:
Your abdomen may need to be viewed. This can be done with ultrasound.
If the fetus has hydrops, the blood transfusion will be done right away.
Before the transfusion, you may be given:
Local anesthesia numbs a small area of your abdomen.
Description of the Procedure TOP
With IVT, the fetus might be paralyzed for a short time. This is to allow access to fetal blood vessels and to reduce injury to the fetus. During both IVT and IPT, the doctor will monitor the fetus with an ultrasound scan. The ultrasound will:
A needle will be inserted into your abdomen. Using ultrasound, the doctor will make sure the needle is placed correctly. The needle will go through your abdomen and be inserted into the umbilical cord (IUT) or into the fetal abdomen (IPT). Blood will be transfused to the fetus.
Before the needle is removed, a final blood sample will be taken. This is to determine the fetus's blood level. It will show whether the transfusion was enough and when the next one should be.
The transfusions may need to be repeated every 2-4 weeks until your doctor decides that it is safe to deliver the fetus.
How Long Will It Take? TOP
A 10 ml IVT transfusion will take 1-2 minutes. Usually, between 30-200 ml is transfused during a single procedure.
How Much Will It Hurt? TOP
You will feel pain and cramping where the doctor inserts the needle. If you are close to delivering the fetus or if the procedure is long, the uterus can be sore.
Average Hospital Stay TOP
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. You will be able to go home after the transfusion. If complications occur, you may need to have a cesarean section.
Post-procedure Care TOP
You may be given:
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
After your baby has been delivered, the baby will need to have follow-up blood tests. The doctor will closely monitor the baby for:
Call Your Doctor TOP
Call your doctor if any of the following occur:
Know the signs of early labor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.
