Saturday's letters: Ready for big time?
Published: Saturday, October 2, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 1, 2010 at 5:24 p.m.
To The Editor: Id like to quote from a front-page article in a recent Wall Street Journal. The article was titled, Pelosi Facing Dissent in Party. Some of what I found most interesting is . . . in some parts of the U.S. Ms. Pelosi has granted candidates permission to say or do what they need to about her to survive. (Granted permission?) Later in the article, it mentions some of the Democrats who have distanced themselves from her in their advertising. It goes on to say Rep. Heath Shuler, when asked at a local forum about his vote for speaker, even suggested late last month that he could run for the post. Who have I been talking about running our country? he asked. The middle. So, I havent ruled out the idea that I might not run. So, folks, it looks as though Rep. Shuler has much more on his mind than simply defeating Jeff Miller in November. He has ideas of being speaker of the House after only two two-year terms as a representative. My, my, reminds me of someone who decided to run for president of the United States before completing even one term as Senator.
Doesnt take long in D.C. to figure youre ready for the big time, does it?

GOP leadership
To The Editor: In my nearly 50 years as a registered Republican, I have never been more disappointed with my partys leadership. Its tact seems to be to shout No when new ideas are suggested while offering no meaningful programs of its own design to address our most pressing problems unemployment, the housing crisis and apprehension about the future. It acts as though achieving political gains are more important than meaningfully aiding its constituents.
Furthermore, it has allowed radio-based political commentators to assume the leadership of the conservative movement. Those media personalities are pot stirrers, who resort to distortions and inciting hatred in order to increase the size of their audiences. The larger the number of their listeners, the higher their already-inflated incomes. If we want to understand why these manipulations are being practiced, just follow the money.
If the Republicans achieve a majority in the House and/or Senate, there needs to be a radical change in leadership. Statesmen, who put the welfare of our nation above party politics, have to be appointed committee chairs and to other key positions.

Extended family
To The Editor: In August, I had to be transported and hospitalized for pneumonia and COPD at Pardee Hospital.
God only knows that being homeless and without insurance can be a big factor in what health care is obtainable to us. On the night of Aug. 3, the Hendersonville Rescue Mission called the paramedics, who responded within eight to 10 minutes, taking vital signs and administering oxygen.
From the moment the paramedics got me to the emergency room, it was a blessing of caring and attentive people trying to relieve my distress and inability to breath.
The emergency room doctors (I had two), respiratory therapists, RNs came together as a loving family trying to see to my needs.
My stay at Pardee, because of my illness, was approximately eight days. The love and care came from individuals who did not know me, except for the words of God I shared with them and they with me.
Starting at housekeeping to the doctors, nurses, CNAs and dietitian, they were all concerned about my health on a daily basis, and they always had an encouraging smile.
The staff at Pardee is well scripted in God, as well as their professional duties, and they love what they are doing without voicing a complaint.
Two West is truly a blessed unit of caring and loving people.
God bless you all. You have become my extended family.

We've seen a few cases where either the initial installation or the process of clustering two nodes together can cause Couchbase to exhaust the number of TCP ports available on Windows systems. This is made worse by the default settings on some Windows installations of only a few thousand available ports and has been worked around by: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa560610(v=bts.20).aspx
This bug is to investigate both the cause of this, and what the Couchbase server can potentially do to force the increasing of this limit.

Attached is the registry patch to change this, and also reduce TCP_TIME_WAIT timeout (which is often the cause of exhaustion), and also to prefer IPv4 over IPv6. This should together make Windows behave the way we'd expect it to. The fix I'm proposing is to ask the user in the installer if we can install this, and if affirmative, apply these patches at install time.
bug scrub: sri – would you have time to fix this in 2.0.2? or shld we defer this for 2.0.2 release?
The MaxUserPort setting should reduce the occurrence of this, which is fixed in
Alk says TIME_WAIT does not have a beneficial account.
Considering both, I'll mark this as fixed.
Verified with build 2.1.0-710-rel. Windows installer prompts the user to increase MaxUserPort and if answered in affirmative, changes it to 60000.

Affymax Wins Panel Backing on Anemia Drug to Rival Amgen's
Affymax Inc. won a U.S. panel's backing for an experimental anemia medicine that would compete with treatments marketed by Amgen Inc. and Johnson & Johnson for patients with chronic kidney disease.
The benefits of the drug, known as peginesatide, outweigh potential heart risks, outside advisers to the Food and Drug Administration said today in a 15-1 vote in Silver Spring, Maryland. The FDA isn't required to follow the advisory panels' recommendations.
"As a result of this vote, we expect Affymax shares to be up sharply tomorrow -- likely into the double-digits," Christopher Raymond, an analyst at Robert W. Baird in Chicago, said today in a note to investors. Trading on Affymax was halted pending the outcome of the meeting. The shares had declined 19 percent this year before today.
Peginesatide would be Palo Alto, California-based Affymax's first product if it gains FDA approval. The therapy would compete with Amgen's Epogen, which generated $2.5 billion in revenue last year, and J&J's Procrit, with 2010 sales of $1.9 billion. Affymax's medicine works as well as those treatments and had "similar safety results" for people on dialysis, the patient group for whom Affymax seeks approval, FDA staff said Dec. 5 in a report.
'No Reason' to Reject
"We don't have a reason to say no to this drug in the dialysis setting," Wyndham Wilson, the panel chairman, said after the vote. Wilson is chief of lymphoma therapeutics at the National Cancer Institute's Center for Cancer Research, in Rockville, Maryland.
Peginesatide, like Epogen, Procrit and Amgen's Aranesp, is part of a class of drugs known as erythropoiesis-stimulating agents that boost production of red blood cells.
The FDA recommended in June that doctors use the lowest possible doses of the agents because of potential heart risks. The agency in 2006 first warned that high doses of the anemia drugs may cause heart attacks and strokes.
Peginesatide proved noninferior to Epogen, Procrit and Aranesp in late-stage clinical trials and had similar risks of death, stroke and heart attacks in dialysis patients, Affymax said today in presentations to the panel. The trials consisted of 2,609 patients.
Peginesatide's effects last longer than approved treatments, making it more convenient and less expensive to administer, according to Affymax's September quarterly report. The drug can used once a month, compared with an initial dose of three times weekly for Epogen.
Affymax is co-commercializing peginesatide in the U.S. with Osaka, Japan-based Takeda Pharmaceutical Co.
Amgen Deals
Amgen, of Thousand Oaks, California, signed a seven-year agreement with dialysis provider DaVita Inc. of Denver to replace a deal expiring Dec. 31 that will meet at least 90 percent of DaVita's requirements to treat anemia, William Tanner, an analyst with Lazard Capital Markets in New York, said Nov. 18 in a note to clients.
Amgen also signed a nonexclusive agreement with Fresenius Medical Care AG for an undisclosed amount of years, Tanner said. Fresenius, based in Bad Homburg, Germany, and DaVita are the largest dialysis providers respectively by annual revenue.
Medicare, the U.S. health program for the elderly and disabled, began this year reimbursing for all services associated with end-stage kidney disease in one bundled payment to attempt to save money.

Wrong Section. I use this plugin and have no problems with it. You can't prove that the plugin itself caused this issue so I wouldn't blame the plugin. :)
I'm the plugin author for Simply Exclude. The plugin makes not code changes to you core code, other plugins or your theme. The plugin works purely on hooks which are executed when the page is request. These hooks effect the queries use by WordPress when displaying the categories, tags authors, pages.
If you didn't like the plugin then please just deactivate it. This will disable all interactions with the WordPress hooks. Nothing is left to do except remove the plugin from your system.
If you are still having issues please feel free to contact me directly.
kperrone, thanks for your response on this.
Apparently it can interfere and cause issues with other plugins.
I installed this plugin and it forced all my previously excluded menu items to appear, causing 5 rows of navigation buttons in the header.
I've already Deactivated it and Deleted all the files - unfortunately, the problem remains... Whatever remnants were left behind, are still causing issues with the navigation and it's a nightmare because the site is live and gets a lot of traffic.
If this is a database issue now, this really stinks because I don't have access to the database and of course, didn't expect such a problem. The last backup I have is from 3 days ago (several posts since then)... Not sure how to go about fixing this just yet, but I've been at it for about 30 min. now. I'll post the solution when and if I get to fix this thing for anyone else that might come across this again.

The New User Approve plugin uses the functions provided by WordPress to send email. Make sure your host is setup correctly to send email if this happens.
This is not a function of the plugin but of WordPress. WordPress provides the wp_mail_from and wp_mail_from_name filters to allow you to customize this. There are also a number of plugins that provide a setting to change this to your liking.
The password is generated again because, by default, the user will not be aware of their password. By generating a new password, the email that notifies the user can also give them the new password just like the email does when receiving your password on a regular WordPress install. At approval time, it is impossible to retrieve the user's password.
There is a filter available (new_user_approve_bypass_password_reset) to turn off this feature.

Put Love Rumors To Rest, Your Manhood Is Blessed & More
Lubes, Too Big, Prolonged Female Pleasure, & More
sperm queriesI've heard rumors that sperm dies on contact with the air. Is that true? My girlfriend said that if I got off on her stomach, she could use it to pleasure herself since it touched the air. Is it a good idea that I told her to wait so I could ask you first? Or is it cool and fun to play with?
It's a very good idea that you decided to consult me first. Here are the facts about the shelf life of sperm after they leave a man's urethra: While sperm can live anywhere from 48 hours to about four days in the cervical mucous of a woman's vagina or in other moist and warm places, they will die within 30 minutes to four hours if exposed to the air.
In other words, Travis: Yes, sperm dies, but not on direct contact with the air. So, unless your girlfriend wants you to ejaculate on her stomach and then wait four hours, she should stay away from using sperm as part of her pleasuring technique and stick to other lubes, lotions and potions.

lubin' confusionI've noticed that every time you recommend the use of a lubricant, you specify a water-based lubricant. I typically use a silicon-based lubricant because it keeps everything slippery longer without getting sticky after a while. Are those types of lubricants not recommended to use with or without a condom?
Hi Simon,
Good question. The reason I tend to recommend water-based lubricants over others is simply because they are the safest to use with latex and are generally the least irritating to the skin. Silicon-based lubricants are the alternative to water-based ones; however, not all of them are safe to use with condoms. Make sure you read the label carefully before lubing up.
Another drawback is its ability to dissolve silicon sex toys and pre-lubricated condoms that already have a silicon-based lubricant applied to them (which applies to pretty much every pre-lubricated condom available).
As for your preference of remaining "slippery" longer, most people tend to prefer a water-based lubricant because its ability to dry out a little faster than other lubes contributes greater friction, and thus, heightened sensation during intercourse. But, of course, it's all a matter of personal preference.

"call a solemn assembly; gather the people. Consecrate the congregation; assemble the elders; gather the children, even nursing infants." -Joel 2:15-16
"And Jesus said to them, 'Yes; have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise'?" -Matthew 21:16
"Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him, saying, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." -Luke 18:15-17
"There was not a word of all that Moses commanded that Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners who lived among them." -Joshua 8:35
"Assemble the people, men, women, and little ones, and the sojourner within your towns, that they may hear and learn to fear the Lord your God, and be careful to do all the words of this law, and that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn to fear the Lord your God, as long as you live in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess." -Deuteronomy 31:12-13
"Meanwhile all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children." -2 Chronicles 20:13
"While Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children, gathered to him out of Israel, for the people wept bitterly." -Ezra 10:1
"When our days there were ended, we departed and went on our journey, and they all, with wives and children, accompanied us until we were outside the city. And kneeling down on the beach, we prayed and said farewell to one another." -Acts 21:5-6
Ephesians 6 assumes that children would be present at the reading of the letter to the congregation. Children were present at Jesus' preaching (Matt 14:21).

I-81 north closed at Chambersburg Exit 16
There are 98 comments on the Public Opinion story from Apr 15, 2009, titled I-81 north closed at Chambersburg Exit 16. In it, Public Opinion reports that:A truck crash on northbound Interstate 81 about a mile north of Exit 17 has blocked traffic at 12:15 p.m. today.

And can anyone explain the FedEx tandam tractor trailer truck which was escorted by a PA State Police car, with red lights flashing, going north down the center turn lane of US Route 11 in the Sunset area, passing the standstill traffic?
#23 Apr 15, 2009
It had live tadpoles in it and they only had one more hour to survive
Since: Oct 08
#24 Apr 15, 2009
If the truck involved in the accident was loaded, the truck you saw was sent for a transload of the contents.
#25 Apr 15, 2009
Don't worry all will back to normal Thursday. Construction on the Scotland exit bridge and construction downtown Chambersburg. One or two guys working and the other 20 or so watching. On top of the construction we have the old farts puttin around. I can fix this problem.First make all 20 construction workers WORK so it doesn't take for ever to get the crap done. Second make all the old farts retake their drivers test at age 65. That should cut the traffic in half since 90% of them will never pass.
#26 Apr 15, 2009
Almost Killed...You just contradicted the point you were trying to make. If 12% of traffic accidents are caused by 18 wheelers, then you just proved that they are the good drivers!!! The other 88% are the IDIOTS in cars!! Great point!!
#27 Apr 15, 2009
I agree with this to a point. I have noticed a lot of Fed/Ex trucks involved in serious crashes recently. They also seem to be the trucks, more times than not, that are tailgaiting me. Maybe Fed/Ex needs to teach their drivers how to drive better?
#28 Apr 15, 2009
I have nothing against truck drivers. My father is a truck driver. What pisses me off is when these truckdrivers see an emergency vehicle get on the interstate and instead of pulling over they try to pass it. They are worried about getting stuck in a traffic jam. Why cant they just pullover and let the firefighters,or emts do thier jobs.
#29 Apr 15, 2009
traffic ic still backed up everywhere and its 6:40pm noone controlling the traffic in Marion whats up with that.Where's the fire police and state boys?
#30 Apr 15, 2009
They are waiting for their new radios, how else could they possibly communicate?
#31 Apr 15, 2009
Have you ever tried to stopa vehicle weighing 80,000 lbs, going 65 miles per hour?
#32 Apr 15, 2009
SWhy don't you contact the landfills that these "truckes" haul into - take a tour - maybe get a life and broaden your horizons....
#33 Apr 15, 2009
u should be ashamed of yourself for leaving this comment
#34 Apr 15, 2009
it was a stinking accident. If didn't see it, then shut the hell up and quite giving your opinion
#35 Apr 15, 2009
i saw a trucker some years ago on 81 trying to run a couple cars off the road.some truckers need put off the road they are a danger and a hazard.
#36 Apr 15, 2009
is anyone concerned that someone might have gotten hurt.
#37 Apr 15, 2009
I had to travel home from work from Chambersburg to Gettysburg, it took me 2 hours. It would have taken longer, if I had not cut up through Fayetteville and back out to 30, just to stuck up in it again. I went from Sheetz on 30 to Lowes on 30 in an hour. IT was outrageous, there was no one to tell these people where to go, no one directing traffic. If I was not from around here I would have not know to take 997 back to 81, let alone even know how to get to 997. I just couldn't believe it!
#38 Apr 15, 2009
does anyone know if 81 northbound is open yet
#39 Apr 15, 2009
Fire police do work full time jobs . If your going to complain about the fire police not being where you want them go to your local fire department and join for the fire police side. You will need to go to a weekend class ,go get sworn in or visa verse but then you can do what you want ot complain about.
As far as the Fed Ex truck by Sunset Pike they was takin it to the interstate to get the packages from the one who wrecked.
I did hear there is 1 lane open on 81 and it will be several more hours until both lanes will be back open. I also heard someone got ejected and another entrapped. Not sure how true it is because we all know how gossip travels through our small county..

I don't care what your daddy does. If truckers weren't on the road, accidents like this wouldn't happen. This country needs to be like the rest of the world and move freight by rail. It's safer and more efficient all around.

Pretty sad when Hagerstown has more of a story than the CHAMBERSBURG PAPER! And it happened in cburg!
Breaking News
Four miles of I-81 remain closed
April 15, 2009
CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. Four miles of the northbound lanes of Interstate 81 in Franklin County remained closed Wednesday afternoon because of an accident that happened at 11:30 a.m.
The interstate was closed from exit 16 (Lincoln Way) to exit 20 (Pa. 997/Black Gap Road), causing a miles-long traffic backup, Pennsylvania State Police said in a news release.
Wayne Lloyd Webb Jr., 46, of Bowie, Texas, was driving a FedEx tractor-trailer southbound when he traveled off the roadway, went across the median and struck a concrete barrier on the west side of the northbound lanes, police said. The vehicle came to rest in the northbound lane facing west and blocking both of the northbound lanes, according to the release.
The accident occurred near the 18-mile marker in Greene Township.
Webb was ejected from the vehicle and was taken to County Hospital in Hagerstown, police said. A passenger in the vehicle, Neil Alan Maxwell, 41, of Weatherford, Texas, also was taken to County Hospital. Both were treated for minor injuries, police said.
Northbound traffic was being routed off I-81 at exit 16 onto U.S. 11, Pennsylvania State Police said.
Exit 17 northbound was also closed, police said.
The accident occurred in a construction zone, police said.
Police advised motorists to exercise patience and avoid the area if possible.
At 2:15 p.m., traffic was backed up to the 8-mile marker northbound.

Traffic was backed up on Interstate 81 at Exit 20 north of Chambersburg, Pa., early Wednesday afternoon after a tractor-trailer overturned.

I have the following setup:
- ServerA, a web server with an asp.net mvc site
- ServerB, a web server with an asp.net Web Api service
The MVC site on ServerA consumes the Web Api service on ServerB. Users log into the MVC site but certain service methods in the Web Api require that the user is in a particular role etc so I need to be able to authenticate the user at the Web Api level.
For this reason, I have tried to set up Kerberos. ServerA has been trusted for delegation. The MVC website is running under a network user account (we'll call it ServiceAccount here) which has been set for delegation. I have set up an SPN for this. However, all requests from the MVC site to the Web Api show that the user is ServiceAccount and not the actual logged in user of the MVC site.
Information around Kerberos seems fragmented so I'm struggling to find a solution. Has anyone got any ideas what may be wrong here?
