HAVANA (AP) — Cuban authorities granted a passport Friday to the leader of a protest group that received the European Union's top human rights prize in 2005, even as another, lesser-known dissident reported being told she will not be allowed to leave the country.
Berta Soler, the most prominent member of the Ladies in White, picked up her new passport in the morning and said she plans to make a long-delayed trip to Europe to pick up the EU's Sakharov award, something she has been unable to do until now because she was denied an exit visa.
The 50-year-old exit visa requirement, which was often denied to the likes of doctors, military officers and dissidents, has been abolished under travel reform that took effect Jan. 14.
Soler said she would contact EU officials to schedule a date, and she's also hoping to visit Spain and attend two April human rights conferences in Panama and Germany.
"I have many invitations to different places," she told The Associated Press, holding up her new passport.
The Ladies in White formed a decade ago to press for the release of their husbands, 75 dissidents imprisoned in a 2003 crackdown. All 75 have since been freed, and the Ladies have refocused their message on demanding political change, with almost completely new membership. Soler is one of the few original members still active in the group.
Cuban authorities excoriate dissidents as treasonous "mercenaries" who accept foreign money to undermine the island's communist-run government.
Separately, activist Gisela Delgado, a former member of the Ladies, said she visited a migration office to inquire about her status and was told that "I was restricted from traveling because I belonged to counterrevolutionary groups."
Delgado already has a passport and has traveled in the past, but last year was denied an exit visa for a trip to the United States.
Several dissidents including blogger Yoani Sanchez and hunger strike protester Guillermo Farinas say they have been told they can travel. Sanchez already has her passport and plans to visit Brazil on Feb. 17. A lesser-known dissident, Eliecer Avila, has already traveled to Sweden.
However others, including Angel Moya, one of the 75 locked up in 2003, have been denied travel papers because they have legal sentences pending.
The new travel law eliminated the exit permit and eased bureaucratic procedures for going abroad, but contains language reserving the state's right to withhold passports for reasons of national security and public interest.
"Having a passport is no guarantee you can leave the country," Soler said.
Delgado told the AP she does not have any legal cases pending with the state, and it was unclear why she would be blacklisted while others are allowed to travel.

Evaluating Projects of a NORC Program
The purpose of a NORC program is to bring about the changes that allow seniors to age well in their own communities. A well-designed evaluation helps a NORC program determine whether it is making a difference and accomplishing its intended goals.
Many program planners are unfamiliar with evaluation techniques, and even a bit intimidated by them. But an evaluation does not have to be extensive to show whether activities are benefiting the target population. It needs, instead, to be smart, strategic, and evidence-based.
NORC programs address complex issues, typically involving many interacting factors and multiple players. But each project that addresses these issues does not need to be complex, nor does its evaluation.
The approach to evaluation described here is not intended to assess the overall value of the NORC program model. Similarly, it should not be considered a global assessment of a given NORC program. The goal of evaluation is much simpler – to show that each project undertaken has value to the residents of the community. It pays to start thinking about how to demonstrate a positive effect from the earliest phase of design.
There are two common types of evaluation: process and outcome.
A process evaluation assesses the extent to which a project is operating as intended. (For guidelines on process evaluations, see Designing and Implementing a NORC Program, Guiding Principle #6.)
An outcome evaluation emphasizes the extent to which a specific project has achieved its objectives. That is the focus of the material in this section.
The roadmap presented here has been adapted for NORC programs from Framework for Program Evaluation, a well-known and tested model developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Documenting and evaluating projects promote:
- Good management.
- Accountability and buy-in.
- Opportunities to refine an approach.

BEIJING -- Officially, the Chinese government has nothing at all to say about Edward Snowden.
But unofficially, it is only too happy to dump on the United States.
After days of silence, state media have let loose with a barrage of criticism concerning Snowden's allegations of a massive electronic surveillance program by the United States. The English-language China Daily ran a large cartoon of a shadowed Statue of Liberty, holding a tape recorder and microphone instead of a tablet and torch.
In an editorial dripping with indignation, the Communist Party-run Global Times demanded an explanation on behalf of the Chinese government.
"Before Snowden is silenced, Washington owes China an explanation of whether the U.S. as an Internet superpower abused its power over our vital interests,'' Global Times opined.
In Hong Kong, the pro-Communist Party Takungpao newspaper added: "If the U.S. is the true defender of democracy, human rights and freedom like it always described itself ... President Obama should sincerely apologize to the people from other countries whose privacy was violated.''

Koch on Film
Before Sunset (+)
This movie has been widely praised as a blockbuster. It is not. It is well done, with tour-de-force acting on the part of its two principals, interesting dialogue and a modest tour of Paris. It is not a sensational, must-see movie, rather one that wont disappoint if you set the standard of entertainment at a reasonable level.
Before Sunset is a sequel to the 1995 film Before Sunrise. Jesse (Ethan Hawke) is a best-selling author on tour, Paris being the last city he visits before returning home to the United States. Celine (Julie Delpy), a songwriter, attends Jesses book signing in Paris. The two last saw one another ten years ago in Vienna when she was 23 and he was about the same age. They decide to spend the next several hours together before Jesse leaves for the U.S.
They stroll along the streets of Paris, reminiscing and discussing why neither returned to Vienna six months after their first meeting as they had promised to do. The balance of the movie is comprised of each talking at length, at first with unimportant observations and then confessing secrets to one another and ultimately revealing their marital unhappiness. Each says things to hurt and to entice the other. I feared that the dialogue would dissolve into boredom, but it did not.
Jesse remembers their evening in Vienna as including sex to the point of offering to name the condom. Celine says they had no sex. The issue is ultimately resolved by one of the two recanting. You are not at a disadvantage if you havent seen the first movie.
Spider-Man 2 (-)
It was Sunday of the Fourth of July weekend and a movie was in order. The reviewers gave this film terrific reviews. Joe Morgenstern wrote in the Wall Street Journal,
the whole movie is a demonstration of controlled fusion, one that goes right from start to finish. Even more than before, this spectacular sequel, which was directed as before by Sam Raimi, draws its energy from a sizzling plasma of humor (Spidey racing against the clock to deliver pizzas in the first of many elegant actions sequences); humanity (Peter Parker washing his Spider-Man uniform in a Laundromat); romantic yearning (does saving the world mean that Peter must lose Mary Jane Watson?); and good old-fashioned super heroism (Spidey soaring above his conflicts into web-based exploits that do full honor to the films comic-book roots).
I am glad that Morgenstern doesnt do stock market analysis. With that kind of over-the-top selling, we would see a terrific, but unwarranted, run-up in the market. His review of this film cost me and my friends two hours of psychic pain and a wasted evening. I am always reporting on the latest worst movie of the year and this may be it, notwithstanding it is number one at the box offices.
The flick is marketed as one for adults, as well as children who are fans of the cartoon. It is not; it is silly and no better than most of the cartoon movies that have reached the movie screen in the last year. Spider-Man (Tobey Maguie) is still portrayed as an innocent juvenile giving up his personal life and love for Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) so that he can rescue the innocent. His enemy is Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), a mad scientist who, in creating a nuclear inferno, also attaches to his body four huge metal arms that look like snakes and have an independent brain. He is the ugliest and most ungainly monster Ive seen in a long time. The film is simply dopey, devoid of interest, and boring. Do not encourage more of the same by adding to its cash receipts.

Asus' G71 gaming quad-core notebook touches down
UK delivery of world's first quad-core gaming laptop
Asus has finally launched its quad-core gaming notebook into the UK, but it'll set you back more than a pretty penny.
Asus' G71: powered by Intel's four-core Core 2 Extreme QX9300
The G71 was first unveiled in October, when Asus claimed it was the world's first quad-core gaming laptop. Although Alienware has since released the M17 gaming laptop, which also runs on four cores.
Asus' machine incorporates Intel's four-core Core 2 Extreme QX9300, the same chip used in Dell's new Precision M6000 notebook, although that's not aimed at gamers like the G71 is.
Intel's CPU is paired with an Nvidia GPU: the GeForce 9700M, which has 512MB of GDDR 3 video memory. The system's main memory is DDR 3 too, 4GB of it clocked to 1066MHz, and two 250GB HDDs are on-board.
The G71's 17in display is accompanied by a secondary IM-centric panel that lets you know when messages come in, without disturbing your game. A webcam's also built into the lid.
A second mini display alerts you to instant messages
Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and 802.11n Wi-Fi are both on board, and the G71 even has HDMI and eSATA connections in addition to all the usual ports. Optical disc options include a Blu-ray/DVD±R/RW combo drive.
Altec Lansing provides the machine's acoustics: two stereo drivers and a sub-woofer.
Asus' G71 is available now for £2000 ($2900/€2350), but a cheaper model based on dual-core Intel Core 2 Duo processer is also available for around £1350 ($2000/€1600).

Sad news, art and food lovers. McCaig-Welles Gallery, which opened in the early days of Williamsburg's ascendancy to gallery prominence, has closed shop. Owner Melissa McCaig-Welles is shuttering her Williamsburg gallery to focus on her San Francisco gallery and her new baby (congrats!).
In food news, Bonita is closing down, whittling down Andrew Tarlow and Mark Firth's mini-empire to only two little-known restaurants called Marlow & Sons and Diner. Apparently Bonita was having some liquor license problems with their landlord, but don't worry because there is another Bonita in Fort Greene.

I (stupidly) ordered "free" diet pills online. All that was necessary was the $4.95 shipping and handling fee. Had I read the poorly worded "Terms of Agreement" more carefully, I (or anyone in their right mind) would never have sent for the Phenterthin Diet Pills. If you cancel, you owe a $49 fee. If you don't cancel in the allotted time, you are sent two more bottles of the pills at a cost of $149.95. They say that bottles that are sent out are not returnable!
I have sent several e-mails to the company and have received no response. I had not been given the allotted time to cancel my "subscription." I felt that I was receiving one bottle for a trial period and that I would have enough time to take the 15 days worth of capsules to decide if they were any different or better than what you can get over the counter at most drug stores or superstores (which they were not). Instead I have received two more bottles of Phenterthin and my credit card has been charged $149.95.
I called and talked to my credit card representative and was given instructions on how I might rectify the situation. This being Sunday, I will call the company tomorrow during regular business hours and see if this mess can be straightened out. Unfortunately, the charge has already been paid by my credit card, otherwise I would have put a stop payment on the order.
I believe that this company uses a poorly worded and misleading "Terms of Agreement" to "sucker" people into buying their product. What also makes me angry is I thought that I was too smart to be trapped by companies like this. Always remember, anything that looks like a very good deal is always suspect.
Anyone considering buying this product or buying from this company had better be very careful. I believe that you will not get what is advertised at the price that is stated and you will be drawn into a scheme that they have devised (that is probably just this side of legal) that will deliver a product that is not worth buying at the advertised trial price, much less the price that you will be charged if you fail to cancel the "agreement."
If I can get a satisfactory resolution to this problem I will be glad to post it here on "my3cents.com." If I don't get this problem rectified to my satisfaction, I will be glad to post that also. Be careful when purchasing anything, especially online and always read the "fine" print! Thanks for letting me vent. I will keep you apprised of the situation.
SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA -- Like many of the stupid people out there, I also clicked on the "Free trial Phenterthin diet pills hot spot". I looked carefully for any pre-checked boxes agreeing to any future order that was attached to it and saw nothing like that. Like everyone else I was sent fifteen pills and got my credit card nailed for $149.95 fifteen days later. When I called my credit card Co. I was given a number to call. Guess what? They were only the forwarding co. had nothing to do with it.
They suggested I go to the www.NexgenLabsUSA.com website, where they asked you to sign up with them in order to make a complaint. I did & I wasn't acknowledged as having signed up. They don't answer their phone. They play games with you until you've spent so much time chasing your tail that you give up in disgust. They are a phony company with a product that doesn't work. All it is, is overpriced vitamins. Buyers beware of this Company. Everything that everyone else has said is 100% correct. This is a rip off. Big time.
CALIFORNIA -- This company will charge unauthorized amounts to your card and the amount they charged me is $149.95 besides the s&h charge for the free pills that I received but don't work. There was never any consent to charge for anything else, and as I see complaints from others I feel the same way. They will rip you off. Their website doesn't exist, and when you call them they say that the receptionist is out and to leave a message, then they don't call back.
You call again and they transfer you to an automated message that refers to the non-existent website. If you catch it in time the bank will try to get your money back. But if they can't, you're not only out the amount they charged you but you're also out the amount that the bank will charge to settle this.
RUPERT, IDAHO -- I like so many others have been taken in once again. I ordered my free bottle of diet pills and then went to my doctor and he advised me to get off them because of health reasons. I called the Phenterthin company and told them the problem. They said that they would take my name off the list for the next shipment. Now here I got 2 bottles of Phenterthin that I can't use and they debited my credit card $149.95. Where did it say how much these pills were when we ordered the free bottle. I have tried to call the company but just get a recording. Will keep trying to get through to the company.
But if this happens to you, go to your bank and put a stop payment on these pills. Sure it might cost you $25.00 for stop payment, but that's better than letting someone cost you $149.95 every time they think they can send you pills you can't take!!!!!!!!!
CASPER, WYOMING -- I too fell into this trap of ordering Phenterthin. What can you do? Not everyone is ethical. I did find some go fortune. After receiving my "free sample" I started researching the product. I felt that anytime a product comes without a shipping invoice or contact information, there is a problem. I read about all the people that has been taken advantage of by this company. The really sad part is that the information is in the terms and agreement section; it is just covered up very, very well. I am sure that what they are doing is legal and that is the other really sad part.
The good luck I had is that I cancelled my debit card before they could take out any more money from my account. I did email them I will pay them the cancellation fee because I did agree to it (without really knowing it), but I will mail them a money order and I will for no reason give them an account number to any credit card. I hope that through this and other websites this type of abuse can stop.

text: The Minor is has been specially designed and manufactured as an economical sieve shaker with the benefits usually found only on larger, more expensive models. It is ideal for the laboratory or plant since it is compact and genuinely portable (weighing only 17 kilos) and is fitted with anti-vibration feet to ensure good stability. With no mechanical moving parts, it is quiet in operation and maintenance free. The sieve stack is held firmly in position between the location and clamp plates by an efficient, simple-to-use adjustable clamp system. It may be set for continuous sieving or using the 0-to-60-min. timer set for a timed operation. The vibrating action imparts a precise movement to the sieve stack ensuring efficient sieving and repeatability. The Minor is CE marked and complies with EMC requirements.

The Bureau of Reclamation and California Department of Water Resources (DWR) are planning corrective actions to strengthen B.F. Sisk Dam to reduce the risk of earthquake damage based on recent dam safety evaluations. The dam, also known as San Luis Dam, is located between Los Banos and Gilroy, Calif., along Pacheco Pass. It creates San Luis Reservoir, which serves as an off-stream reservoir for the Federal Central Valley Project and the California State Water Project.
The dam is in a seismically active area and very close to the Ortigalita Fault that crosses the reservoir. Studies and analyses indicate that a major earthquake could have substantial consequences, although the possibility of dam failure is remote.
Reclamation regularly reviews its dams to ensure they do not present unreasonable risks to the public, property, and the environment. A Corrective Action Study has been initiated at the dam to identify and develop alternatives to reduce risks. Reclamation and DWR will jointly participate in the process to select and implement a risk reduction action plan.
The earth-filled gravity embankment dam is 305 feet tall and was completed in 1967. San Luis Reservoir is the largest off-stream reservoir in the United States, with a capacity of 2,041,000 acre-feet. The dam is owned by Reclamation and operated by DWR.

Simeon V. B. Miller scrapbook, 1900-1906 | Purdue University Libraries, Archives and Special Collections
Extent: 0.3 Cubic feet
Subjects (links to similar collections)
Forms of Material (links to similar genres)
Scope and Contents: The Simeon V. B. Miller Scrapbook (1900-1906; 0.3 cubic feet) contains memorabilia from Simeon Van Buren Miller's college career at Purdue University. Since he had been involved in the train wreck of 1903, there are numerous newspaper clippings from the wreck. Simeon Miller followed in the footsteps of his father and two brothers, as a member of Phi Delta Theta, so there is also a concentration of ephemera from the fraternity. He had been president of the class of 1905 during his sophomore year, so the scrapbook also contains items from his tenure as class president. The scrapbook contains many other miscellaneous items, such as fee statements, dance cards, items from the athletic association and athletic events such as score cards and fee statements, newspaper clippings on the tank scrap, and numerous other programs. The scrapbook contains most of the items in the collection, but there is also one folder that contains loose items from the scrapbook and five additional envelopes containing dance cards, a name card, a coin purse and get well letters and calling cards from Miller's hospital stay after the train wreck.

Andy Reid was faced with an interesting choice as the Eagles approach the preseason finale Thursday against the New York Jets.
Does he play the starters on offense, even for a quarter, in order to give the a unit a bit more work, or does he have them sit out?
Traditionally, Reid does not play the starters at all in the last preseason game, instead opting to work on sharpness in practice.
During a meeting with reporter today, Reid said he would follow the same approach.
"Most likely, I will go with the twos and threes," Reid said. "That's the way I'm looking at it."
Reid said after Friday's game in Kansas City that the ones had "a lot of work to do." Asked today if he had given more consideration than usual to playing the starters this week, Reid said, "I really didn't after I looked at the film and evaluated it. I think we'll be fine."
For whatever this is worth, Jets coach Rex Ryan told beat reporters today that the starters will not play for his team Thursday against the Eagles.
Here are the argument for and against on the issue, as we see it ...
The pros:
* The first-team offense has played six quarters, producing one touchdown and six field goals. Their play inside the red zone has been less than impressive, something they are all quick to concede. With a developing and growing offense with a lot of young players and a new quarterback, more playing time can't hurt the unit in its effort to be more cohesive.
"It wasn't quite as sharp as we would have liked it, for sure," Kevin Kolb said after completing 11 of 25 passes for 103 yards and a 39.2 passer rating Friday. "There was a lot of details we have to clean up. There needs to be some special attention paid to it, starting with myself."
* Confidence. The young guys certainly don't lack for it, but having some success can't hurt, right? Playing some more would be another opportunity to have that success.
* The offensive line. Todd Herremans saw his first preseason action Friday after missing the first two games and a lot of time in camp with a foot problem. The issues at center remain unresolved, with Jamaal Jackson and Nick Cole sidelined (Jackson has told people that he wants to be back for the opener). Mike McGlynn has done a fine job thus far and could be the opening day starter if Jackson is not ready to return. Jason Peters' timing remains off, with two more false-start penalties Friday. Add to that the issue at right guard, with Stacy Andrews still seemingly struggling to be the answer.
* More 3-4. The Eagles and Kolb got some "great work" against a 3-4 defense in Kansas City, Reid said. The Jets are a 3-4 team, as are the Packers. This will be more experience against that look, a look they will see often as more teams are using it.
The cons:
* This is obvious: Injuries, injuries and injuries. DeSean Jackson only played one series before he suffered a strained neck. Mike McGlynn went out, although he returned. Leonard Weaver had the wind knocked out of him and his back is sore. (Not to mention, the injury to Trent Cole on defense.) If the starters don't play, they can't get hurt.
* Camp has been a long haul and the preseason is a grind. This is the last chance to get a bit of a breather without the pounding of a game until the Eagles have the bye on Oct. 31.
So, if you're Andy Reid, what do you do?
Defensive end Trent Cole, listed as day-to-day with a mild ankle sprain, says he is improving.
"Ankle feels better today. Progress has been made," Cole wrote on Twitter this morning.

LONDON (Reuters) - Sequoia Capital, a U.S. venture capital firm which has backed groups including Apple and Google, has taken a minority stake in flight search company Skyscanner, valuing the Edinburgh-based business at $800 million.
Sequoia, which has also worked with Cisco and Yahoo, did not give details on the level of funding but said Scottish Equity Partners would remain Skyscanner's largest investor.
Skyscanner, which describes itself as the world's second largest flight search company, was founded in 2003 to offer a free flight search service as well as comparisons for hotels and car hire.
Its mobile app has been downloaded over 25 million times and its web site attracts over 25 million unique users a month.
Michael Moritz, Sequoia's chairman, will join Skyscanner's board.
"Skyscanner is one of the best technology companies ever to come out of Europe and is already a leading global player," he said. "Our job is to help take its current success a step further."
Skyscanner spokesman Nick Freer said the company had secured more than $3.6 billion worth of travel bookings for its airline partners. At the end of December last year it posted $51.8 million of revenues, up 65 percent on the previous year.
Earnings before tax were $18.6 million, a 153 percent increase on the previous year.
Sequoia had previously invested in rival Kayak, which was sold last year to discount travel website Priceline.com.

Trappers notified that harvest quota has been met; season closes after Feb. 5
EMPORIA — For the first time in modern history, Kansas allowed otter trapping during the 2011-2012 trapping season. Biologists had been monitoring a growing otter population for many years and had proposed a limited harvest to manage otter numbers and learn more about the species. The season was to run Nov. 16, 2011-March 31, 2012, or until the statewide trapping mortality quota of 100 otters was met.
Biologists with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) have announced that that quota has been met. Trappers have been allowed a grace period for notification that the quota has been met, so all otters taken on or before Feb. 5 may be kept by the furharvester.
Otters accidentally taken while trapping for other species after Feb. 5 must be reported to KDPWT prior to removal from the trap site. They may be reported to the toll free hotline at (855) 778-6887 (RPT-OTTR) or to a local KDWPT natural resource officer or biologist. Inadvertent capture of otters shall not be deemed illegal if the capture is reported or if the animal is released unharmed.
KDWPT collected carcasses from all harvested otters this season and will be determining age, reproductive output, and other biological information, which will be used to make decisions about future seasons. For more information, phone Matt Peek at 620-342-0658.

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Legislature facing hot-button issues
By GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
The next legislative session begins Jan. 8, or as the New Hampshire Constitution says: "the first Wednesday following the first Tuesday in January."
Three of last session's biggest issues will be back: Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, casino gambling and a gas tax increase. All three issues were killed in one form or another last session.
Also, lawmakers will debate whether New Hampshire should repeal the death penalty law. The repeal bill's prime sponsor, Rep. Robert "Renny" Cushing, D-Hampton, has introduced similar bills before. Cushing's father was murdered by an off-duty Hampton police officer about 25 years ago.
Both the House and the Senate approved repealing the death penalty during Jeanne Shaheen's tenure as governor, but lawmakers failed to override her veto. In recent years, the House approved repeal, but the Senate killed it.
Most observers believe repeal will be approved by the House, but Senate passage will be very iffy. Hassan has said she would sign a repeal bill as long as it was not retroactive, so Michael Addison's death sentenced would not be commuted. Addison killed Manchester Police Officer Michael Briggs in 2006.
The second year of a legislative session often showcases hot-button issues in order to put lawmakers on record going into an election.
Bills on abortion are numerous this session, with one that would declare life begins at conception and another that would include fetuses under the wrongful death statute.
Rep. Kathy Souza, R-Manchester, wants outpatient abortion clinics to be licensed and the state to collect statistics covering "terminated pregnancies."
Both sides of the gun rights debate have filed bills, including proposals to require background checks, restrict ownership for the mentally ill and prohibit firearms in public places.
On the other side, firearm records would be exempt from the right-to-know law, out-of-state residents would be able to carry firearms in the Granite State and state law enforcement would be prohibited from enforcing federal gun laws if they conflicted with the state's.
Tax changes are also proposed, including lowering the rooms and meals tax and changing its distribution.
Rep. David Hess, R-Hooksett, wants to change the business enterprise tax so that nonprofits and charities such as hospitals would no longer be exempt.
- - - - - - -
The state's largest electric utility, Public Service of New Hampshire, would be required to sell its electricity generating plants under a bill proposed by Rep. David Borden, D-New Castle, House Science, Technology and Energy Committee chairman.
Electronic benefit transfer cards issued to welfare recipients are the subject of several bills, mostly limiting what could be purchased with the cards. Tobacco, alcohol or lottery tickets would be prohibited.
Implementation of the Common Core State Standards for education would be delayed or adoption by the state rescinded under proposed legislation.
- - - - - - --
Bills have also been proposed to exempt many state products from federal regulatory approval, such as state foods from Federal Food and Drug Agency oversight.
For the first time in several sessions, a bill has been introduced that would require a deposit on bottles and cans.
And an attempt will be made to prohibit smoking in veterans halls and other social organizations' facilities, which have long been exempt from state no-smoking laws.
With the partisanship turned up after the special session defeat of Medicaid expansion, this should be a bruising session.
- - - - - - - -
Retained Bills
The House has to act on the 100 or more retained bills in the first three session days of the 2014 session, while the Senate usually takes its time with the bills it holds onto.
Among the bills the House will have to deal with are several on the controversial Northern Pass transmission project and requirements for wind farms.
The one bill that is recommended to pass would encourage the developers of Northern Pass to bury the lines, which Public Service of New Hampshire has already said is prohibitively expensive.
Another bill would raise the age of minority for a juvenile in the criminal justice system from 17 to 18 years old.
The House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee could not decide what to do with former Senate President Peter Bragdon's bill to establish a recovery fund for the victims of Financial Resource Management.
The House Public Works and Highways Committee did decide what to do with Bragdon's bill to eliminate the Exit 7 tolls on the F.E.Everett Turnpike. They want it killed.
The House Resources, Recreation and Development Committee believes senior citizens should still be able to use the state park system for free, unless it involves ski areas, but wants to do away with free passes for politicians and their staffs.
Although expanded gambling will have a lengthy debate in both the House and Senate again this session, one new game of chance may fly through.
The House Ways and Means Committee wants the Lottery Commission to establish keno at bars and restaurants.
- - - - - - - -
Executive Council Race:
The endorsements in the race to replace the late Raymond Burton of Bath as the District 1 Executive Councilor came fast and furious last week on the Republican side, where there is a three-way primary.
Former state senator and gubernatorial candidate Joe Kenney of Wakefield kicked things off with District 6 Sen. Sam Cataldo's endorsement.
Then three prominent Republican state Senators lined up behind former Belknap County Commissioner Christopher Boothby.
First was Senate Finance Chair Jeanie Forrester of Meredith, followed by Senate Ways and Means Chair Bob Odell of Lempster, and then Friday Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro.
"Sen. Bradley, just like Sens. Forrester and Odell, have been pillars of our state, and represent what's right about New Hampshire politics," Boothby said.
The only Democrat in the race, Grafton County Commissioner Mike Cryans of Hanover sent out a fundraising email this week.
"Over the last week, I've traveled all across the district - from my home in Hanover to where I grew up in Littleton. Up to Coos County and throughout the Lakes Region, I am so excited to meet with the great people of this district and share with them my vision," he said, and then asked for people's help noting he served with Burton as a Grafton County Commissioner, who had such a passion for the North Country.
"With that same passion, I am running for the Executive Council to continue this service and to work with Governor Hassan to effectively advocate for a state government that brings an innovative approach to creating jobs and fostering economic development," Cryans wrote.
The primary for the District 1 seat is January 21 and the special election March 11.
- - - - - - -
State Senate Campaign
Sen. David Boutin, R-Hooksett, made it official last week he would run for reelection.
In 2012, Boutin was in a close race with former Manchester Board of Education member Kathleen Kelley, so this time he is taking no chances.
Last week Boutin hired Andrew Provencher to serve as a campaign consultant for his 2014 reelection campaign for District 16.
Provencher is a Manchester native and veteran of political campaigns throughout New Hampshire.
Like Old Times
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region One Office hosts an open house and public hearing Wednesday to discuss Seabrook Station owner NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC's testing programs and plans to address concrete degradation in light of its request to extend the nuclear's plant's operating life.
Among those signed up to testify is Stephen Comley, a Rawley Mass. nursing home owner who fought the plant's operation dating back to 1970s.
Comley contends shoddy construction and equipment make the plant - and others like it - unsafe and has demanded regulators do something about it.
He wants the meeting to be recorded because he intends to bring new concerns to the hearing, but the agency does not intend to do that.

For the second time in recent months, the US Government is having a major motorcycle racer talk to US servicemen about safely operating motorcycles. A few months ago it was , and today it is Kevin Schwantz, the 500cc GP World Champion, who will speak at a number of road safety seminars.
Trying to find a common theme with his subjects, Schwantz refers to his races as battles (rightfully so), but emphasises there is a time and a place for riding fast:
"They were battles fought on the racetrack. It may look intense but it's actually a very controlled environment. And that's nothing like the battles our brave service personnel are fighting. For the military sportbike riders we're talking about today, the real battleground is right here at home – on the streets."
Back in October, CNN ran an interesting story about how motorcycle related deaths have killed more Marines in the past 12 months than enemy fire in Iraq. Similarly, the US Navy is finding a similar rise in motorcycle accidents by military personnel. In 2008, 25 Marines died on motorcycles, compare that to the 22 killed in hostile action in Iraq. Pentagon sources say a rising trend started in 2004, when seven Marines died on bikes.

The directions you'll go and the tools you'll find will amaze you.
If you were to fall prey to the hype about Internet use and e-commerce, you'd think that everyone but you is rushing to his computer to buy ag products online. You'd also think that everyone but you has access to tomorrow's news today. Well, that's cowchips. So let's begin with a little perspective:
v According to the USDA, the share of farms with Internet access more than doubled between 1997 and 1999 to 29%. That means 71% of farms are not connected.
v The USDA also found that of the farms and ranches that accessed the Internet in 1999, 15% conducted e-commerce transactions. That means 85% did not.
v It also noted that more than 70% of active e-commerce users are between the ages of 35 and 54 and more than one-third have completed college or graduate school. As a whole, 46% of the farm population falls into that age group.
So what does it mean? It means that Internet use and e-commerce transactions are about to take over farm country, and if you aren't connected you'll be left in the dust.
Huh? Look at it this way.
Only 29% of U.S. farms now have Internet connections, but that low number probably is due to lousy connections and limited access. Fortunately, the issue of access is changing as you read this.
Only 15% of the farms with Internet access conducted e-commerce transactions in 1999, but keep in mind that e-commerce as an industry is just now taking its baby steps.
Finally, the average age and education level of e-commerce users is a sign of what's to come. Younger, more educated farmers are the first acceptors of new technology.
If you are not connected and are still unsure about the Internet and e-commerce, settle in and see what the users we profile have to say. Statistically, 100% say the initial experience was frustrating. Connections were slow. Searches went nowhere. The users felt dumb and were generally miserable.
And their advice? Again, 100% urge the disconnected to get online immediately. They say that now they can't imagine life without the Internet. And they wish the technological blessing on everyone.
Perhaps the best news, though, is that rural dwellers are no longer left out. Local service providers are popping up everywhere. All the major phone companies offer access. And even if you are not in a good phone service area, wireless companies are stepping to the plate, using antenna-based transmitters and satellite connections to give the most remote farm on the planet high-speed access.
Certainly, the Internet is bringing change to farm country. One change is the instantaneous access to information; that's the area users say has the most value.

KODE 80 versus KOMBAT 79(2007)
Hallo, I have a Kombat 79L Technora from 2007 and I want to change it for a Kode 80L Technora or wood. I use the board only in strong wind and bump and jump-conditions. I am a women and my weight is 58 à 60 kg. Is the Kode as fast as the Kombat? Or faster? I intend to use 3.5m²,4.2m² and 5m² sails on it. I loved the Kombat.
Or is there a better board (Starboard)for me in those specific conditions?
I have a Futura 101 wood for larger sails (6+7m²)
I hope someone can give me an answer.
Thank you

Are you sailing the Kombat with a single back strap and wave fin? Then I think you'll find the Kode 80 as fast. But if you use the added drive of double rear straps to help you go fast (and power a faster fin) then it will be a difficult match for the Kode 80.
At your weigh tthough, I think you will overall find the Kode 80 with its narrow tail easier to use, particularly with the smaller sail. I think it will be a great partner to the Futura 101.
The Kombat 79 is a very nice board too though, so no need to change just for the sake of changing.

Thanks for the answer.
I use the Kombat with a single back strap and a Select style 28 fin. It is not easy to find a freeride fin in us-box over here.
I hope I'll be able to test the Kode before buying it. I 'm very curious about the potention of this board in very strong winds on flat(!!) water.

If you find a shop (or rider) that's willing to let you try boards, try talking them into letting you try a Kode 74 too. At your size, that might be even better.
If you don't want to spend as much, you might also look for an Acid 80 2006-2008 (or 74 07/08). All good boards on flat water too and all of them will handle 5.0 easily be easier in strong wind than the wider Kombat 79.
With all these boards, I think you will fins the general feel is rather similar to your Kombat.
A 28cm fin seems a bit big even for freeride with your smaller sails. I think you will find that a smaller fin makes the board much easier to handle.

Like most: Thank you Terry for a dream come true! We are from Montreal and after selling our pop-up, my husband and I were looking for something that would allow us to have the family around on summer weekends. Our pop-up could sleep about 8, so we needed something at least equivalent. My husband found the General RV website. Because of the great prices they have, we opted for a Tioga Ranger Class ...

STAFFORD TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — Superstorm Sandy's floodwaters drove Bob Mackie from his home on Long Beach Island, N.J., but nothing was going to stop him from voting Tuesday. The 72-year-old widower drove an hour each way to cast his ballot at a makeshift polling site for island residents, refusing to be disenfranchised by the devastation.
"A lot of people died for it, so we better exercise it," Mackie said of the right to vote.
A week after Sandy's ruinous march up the East Coast, thousands of displaced residents boarded shuttle buses and searched online for alternative polling places to cast their ballots. For millions who were still without power, cleaning mud out of their homes or living in shelters, voting represented both a return to normalcy and an act of defiance.
West Virginia resident Barbara Bolyard has been without power since the storm, relying on a coal-fired stove for heat and eating meals served by the Red Cross at local fire hall. But she and her three adult children still made it to their polling place in Newburg. "It's your right, do it," Bolyard said she told her kids.
National Guard units in West Virginia set up tents at three polling places and provided generators to help provide power to five other areas that had been buried under 2 feet of snow from Sandy.
In Connecticut, where all but two of the 773 voting precincts were open, voters displaced by the storm had to travel long distances to cast ballots in their precincts.
Jody Eisemann, who lost the first floor of her Fairfield, Conn., house to flooding, came home from the New York suburbs where she is staying with her brother to vote at her local polling site. Eisemann's neighborhood was still filled with downed trees, utility trucks and National Guard troops.
"It's a big pain in the neck," the 60-year old acupuncturist said.
In hard-hit New York and New Jersey, voting became an emotional mission for many.
Sarah Brewster of Long Beach, N.Y., sobbed as she emerged from her polling place in a school cafeteria. She said she had been overcome when she went inside to vote and saw the clocks all stopped at 7:27 — the time her community lost power on the evening of Oct. 29.
Voting is "part of our civic responsibility in the midst of all this crisis," said Brewster, a nonprofit worker.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, both signed directives allowing displaced residents of their states to cast provisional ballots at any polling site. Provisional ballots are counted once a voter's eligibility is confirmed.
After voting near his home in Mount Kisco, a New York city suburb, Cuomo told reporters it was essential to make balloting easier for those affected by storm.
"A lot of people are not at their home polling place — they've been displaced, they're staying with friends or their parents. We have first responders and volunteers who are not in their normal polling place, a lot of people from upstate who are helping in downstate New York," Cuomo said.
New Jersey also offered displaced residents the option of requesting a ballot via email and fax — the same procedure followed by the state's overseas residents and military personnel. County election offices were quickly swamped with requests for email ballots, prompting officials to announce they would give voters until Friday to cast ballots.
"It has become apparent that the county clerks are receiving applications at a rate that outpaces their capacity to process them without an extension of the current schedule," Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who is also New Jersey's secretary of state, said in a directive issued Tuesday.
In Hudson County in northern New Jersey, officials received 4,000 email ballot requests by mid-afternoon. "It's a different kind of nuts," Deputy County Clerk Janet Larwa said.
Some in New Jersey said they weren't comfortable with the email option.
Pinky Milsen, a 62-year-old retired retail worker forced from her home on Long Beach Island, drove to a polling place on the mainland to cast a ballot for President Barack Obama.
"They said you could do it on the computer, but I said no, I want to push the lever. I want to make sure Obama wins," Milsen said.
In New York City, some polling places ran out of the affidavits due to heavy demand, said city Board of Elections spokeswoman Valerie Vazquez. The city printed up only 250 of the affidavits per election district and didn't have time to order extras, she said.
The storm came so close to the election that officials did not have enough time to educate poll workers about the change, which led to confusion, Vazquez said.
City Elections Commissioner J.C. Polanco said lines were long even in areas of the city most disrupted by Sandy. Some voters in the Rockaways area of Queens cast ballots at a school where nine polling locations had been merged into one. Other voters in the Rockaways and one precinct in the Bronx were voting in tents powered by emergency generators.
Complicating matters further was the state's recent switch to electronic voting machines and the 2010 legislative redistricting that put many residents into new polling precincts.
"You couldn't pick a more perfect storm — a hurricane before a presidential election, a redistricting year, and new machines," Polanco said.
The efforts put a premium on creativity. At a public school in Staten Island's Midland Beach, flares were set up at an entrance to provide light, and voting machines were retrieved from the school and moved to tents where voters lined up in 29-degree temperatures.
Not everyone hurt by the storm saw voting as a priority.
New Jersey college student Cynthia Barreau was flooded out of her Toms River home and stood in a long line outside a FEMA processing center in Brick Township.
"I'm thinking a lot of people are not going to vote today; I just don't see it happening," she said. "We don't have homes. The last thing on our minds today is looking for a place to vote."
Fouhy reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Geoff Mulvihill and Wayne Parry in New Jersey, John Christoffersen in Connecticut, Vicki Smith in West Virginia, and Frank Eltman, Jim Fitzgerald and Christina Rexrode in New York contributed to this story.

An interview with County Governor Bo Källstrand during the coach journey to Härnösand.
Västernorrland is one of Sweden's biggest counties. How did you decide what The King and Queen would visit during a day?
Naturally, we took a geographic view. You have to start in the middle and then travel either north or south. The County Administrative Board reviewed The King's and The King and Queen's previous visits to the county. We noted that they had mostly visited the northern part of the county, so we arranged a programme heading down towards the Sundsvall area.
Then it was a case of what to show The King and Queen. Of course, that's not easy when there's so much to choose between. What really distinguishes our county is the forest industry. We are still Sweden's top county when it comes to forest raw materials, and a great deal has happened in recent years — not least in terms of technology. It's been a long time since The King visited a large sawmill in Västernorrland, so we decided it was time to show him the latest technological developments. It's also important to promote Västernorrland as a tourist destination, particularly in view of our culinary culture.
We're now two thirds of the way through the programme. Has everything gone to plan?
Yes, I think so. It's gone well, and we've shown The King and Queen what we wanted to show them. I'm also pleased at how many people came to Sundsvall. It shows just how much interest there's been in the visit, and I'm delighted about that.
Find out more about Murberget here.
12:21 The coach crossed the border into Härnösand Municipality, and Chairman of the Municipal Executive Board Fred Nilsson spoke about the municipality. New figures on immigration had been released that day, and almost 200 new inhabitants had moved to the municipality during the past year. At the beginning of the twentieth century Härnösand was the centre of the European forest industry, and this industrial heritage is still important today.
12:00 Back on the coach, the party headed towards Murberget. The County Governor explained that the county has just eleven inhabitants per square kilometre. The national average is 28. Bo Källstrand also spoke about the companies that are currently investing in the county, research and education, Sweden's youngest university — Mid Sweden University — and infrastructure investments.
11:15 On the coach to Bollsta Sawmill, County Governor Ann Järneström spoke about the forest, ancient tales about the mythical Vittra people, and how she has gathered stories from around the Kramfors area. Katarina Levin, manager of Bollsta Sawmill, then spoke about wood and raw wood materials, and about Bollsta Sawmill and the significant investments being carried out. For example, SEK 500 million is being invested in new technology.
11:03 The King and Queen listened to Per-Anders Bjuggstam, CEO of El-forest AB, who spoke about the electric motors developed in the country that result in a significant reduction in fuel consumption. The machines were then started, and The King and Queen saw the felling process.
10:47 The King and Queen arrived at Västansjö felling site in Bollstabruk.
10:35 Ulf Larsson, CEO of SCA Forest Products, provided a summary of the forest industry's history in Kramfors.
10:19 On the coach, County Governor Bo Källstrand welcomed The King and Queen to Västernorrland and spoke about the landscape, which is dominated by forest and rivers. He then handed over to Chairman of the Municipal Executive Board Micael Melander, who described Kramfors as "a small municipality with a big heart". The municipality's first settlers were the huntsmen and fishermen who came to the area 10,000 years ago. The glory days of the municipality were during the period of industrialism. Today, there are fewer hunters, farmers and industries. Infrastructure has come to play a leading role, with both railways and airports being important to the region.
10:11 The King and Queen arrived at Kramfors and Höga Kusten Airport.
The day in Västernorrland County concludes with dinner hosted by the County Governor at the County Governor's official residence.

"Children of Heaven," a film from Iran and the second screening in the 2006 Foreign Film Series, will be shown tonight at the Jamestown library.
The film, which received an Academy Award nomination in 1998 for Best Foreign Film, will be shown at 7 p.m., and refreshments will be served.
The final film in the series, "Not One Less" will be shown Thursday, March 2, at 7 p.m.
From China, "Not One Less" is the heartwarming tale of a 13year-old girl, Wei Minzi, who is a substitute teacher living in a poor village in rural China. She is given a month-long assignment to teach a classroom of 28 students, ages 6 through 10, with instructions to make sure that all the students, "not one less," stay in school. Wei approaches the job as any 13-year-old might — like a sullen teenager — but because she is close in age to her students, they respond to her with playful attentiveness.
The children, including Wei, are non-actors who play themselves. As the story goes, Zhang Huike, the class troublemaker, is sent to the city to find work and pay off his parents' debts. Teacher Wei sets out to find him and bring him back. Wei puts herself on the line for her tiny school and its impoverished community, and miraculously, her message travels farther than she had ever imagined it might. "Not One Less" runs 106 minutes.
Island citizens group gives well-water talk

Following more than two decades as a quilt artist, Sutton expanded her expertise in design to the three-dimensional realm of room and area design and enhancement.

Learn about hypertension risk

According to the American Heart Association, one in three adult Americans have high blood pressure, which is also known as hypertension. Nearly one-third of these people do not know they have it.
In the Feb. 9 program, participants will learn about risk factors, prevention, and treatment of high blood pressure from Sarah M. Freelove, a registered nurse and program co-ordinator for Lifespan's Community Cardiac Initiative. Freelove will also discuss a new phenomenon called pre-hypertension.
Free blood pressure screening will be available before the presentation.
The program is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Jamestown library at 423-7280.

Two Coast FA girls teams entered the Women's Charleston Select Shootout over the weekend and both came home with tournament hardware.
The Coast 01 Girls, coached R.J Bass, brought home championship honors in the top U17 division posting a 3-1 victory over Rock Hill based DSC Lady Gold. The 01 Girls clawed their way through pool play to a 1-1-1 record to set up a rematch with Discoveries Soccer, who earlier handed them their only defeat of the weekend.
"The girls had a very successful weekend and played with a lot of heart to come from behind in the championship," Bass said.
Coach Vinnie De La Cueva's Coast 06g Red squad came up one goal shy of finalist honors in the U12 top division. After dropping the first match 2-1, the 06 Girls posted two shutout victories to earn their way into the finals. The championship match saw Jacksonville, Florida earn a 1-0 win.
"We were tested with very good competition in all four matches," said De La Cueva. "This was a good mid-season tournament that will help us with the remainder of our fall schedule."

The team at Social Media Examiner recently received a real gold mine of social media insight. It's a mega report recently released by MarketingProfs called, "The State of Social Media Marketing." This massive report highlights social media usage, strategy and predictions for 2010. And this article will bring you a small look at some of the findings from this content-rich report.
By the way, MarketingProfs used a three-tiered approach to craft this study, including consulting with a panel of social media experts, surveying more than 5,000 MarketingProfs readers and asking comScore to mine its panel data. This approach adds greater integrity and scope to the overall results.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Cliff Lee had three hits, knocked in a career-high four runs and struck out a season-high 14 to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 12-2 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday night.
Lee (14-6) stroked a two-run, bases-loaded single to cap off a six-run third inning and also hit his first career triple in the fifth. Chase Utley, who also drove in four runs, hit a long three-run homer in the third.
On the mound, Lee allowed two runs while scattering eight hits and walking none, at one point retiring 11 straight en route to winning his fourth consecutive decision. He is 4-0 with a 2.05 ERA in his last six starts and 5-1 with a 2.29 lifetime ERA against Miami.
Philadelphia has won six in a row over Miami.
In his first major-league start, Sam Dyson (0-1) allowed seven runs.
