The SN74CB3T16210 is a high-speed TTL-compatible FET bus switch with low ON-state
resistance (ron), allowing for minimal propagation delay. The device fully
supports mixed-mode signal operation on all data I/O ports by providing voltage translation that
tracks VCC. The SN74CB3T16210 supports systems using 5-V TTL, 3.3-V LVTTL,
and 2.5-V CMOS switching standards, as well as user-defined switching levels (see ).
The SN74CB3T16210 is organized as two 10-bit bus switches with separate ouput-enable
(1OE, 2OE) inputs. It can be used as two 10-bit bus
switches or as one 20-bit bus switch. When OE is low, the associated 10-bit bus switch is ON, and the A port is connected to the B port, allowing bidirectional data flow between ports. When OE is high, the associated 10-bit bus switch is OFF, and a high-impedance state exists between the A and B ports.
This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using
Ioff. The Ioff feature ensures that damaging current will not backflow through the device when it is powered down. The device has isolation during power off.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down,
OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the

President Donald Trump spoke Tuesday evening at the Salute to Service dinner at The Greenbrier Resort, which is also hosting this week's PGA Tour event, A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier.
In addition to thanking the men and women of the armed forces for their service, Trump gave a shoutout to several PGA Tour players in attendance, including Phil Mickelson, Keegan Bradley, John Daly and Bubba Watson.
"I like Phil," Trump said, "and Phil, I think, likes me."
The president - and LPGA players over the years - also praised their physical and mental fitness.
"These are unbelievably talented people. They're talented in their mind and in their body," Trump said. "Their muscles are strong but their mind has to be stronger. It's tough. And these are tough people."
Trump has a lot on his plate these days - including selecting a nominee for the Supreme Court on July 9 - but he said he plans to watch the coverage this weekend at the White House.
"I'll be sitting home at the White House," he said, "and I'll be watching and saying 'I wish I could play like that.'"
POTOMAC, Md. – Tiger Woods finished the Quicken Loans National with a 66 and was on his way to discuss his performance with the media when he was asked to stop for a few pictures.
Minneapolis Weather Summary: 72 degrees
PAYNESVILLE, Minn. - An elderly couple from Paynesville found dead Thursday evening in rural Kandiyohi County was murdered, according to an autopsy report.
Wilbert (Willie) Scheel, 93, and his wife, Gloria, 80, were reported missing Wednesday night, along with their grandson, 34-year-old Greg Scheel, who lived with them.
According to the Stearns County Sheriff's Office, the Scheel's missing vehicle was located on County Road 5 on the east side of Game's Lake in Kandiyohi County. The caller reported the vehicle appeared to be stuck in the mud and had been there for some time.
The sheriff's office reports while the vehicle was being processed, agents and investigators found the bodies of Willie and Gloria Scheel inside the vehicle under some carpet. The Midwest Medical Examiner's Office in Anoka County has ruled the cause of death as a homicide.
The sheriff's office reports, shortly after the Scheel's vehicle was removed from the scene, a caller reported a man on County Road 5 south of where the vehicle had been located. Authorities identified the man as Greg Scheel and took him into custody.
After further investigation, the Stearns County Sheriff's Office says it determined that probable cause existed to place Greg Scheel under arrest for two counts of intentional second-degree murder. Scheel has not yet been charged with the crimes. KARE 11 typically does not name a suspect in a crime until they are formally charged, however, the Stearns County Sheriff's Office made Greg Scheel's name public Thursday as part of a missing person report, in this case.
"I could point to their pew every Sunday."
Words from Pastor Bob Kandels at Grace United Methodist Church in Paynesville about Wilbert and Gloria Scheel.

A funny thing happened to the Galaxy this offseason en route to building a young attacking team capable of challenging for a third MLS Cup title in four years — the starting XI got older.
In what coach Bruce Arena conceded could be construed as an admission the team was a little naive going forward last year, the club added 33-year-old Canadian forward Rob Friend and, late last week, 31-year-old former Swedish international midfielder Stefan Ishizaki.
Adding those two experienced players into the offensive mix with 33-year-old Robbie Keane and the soon-to-be 32-year-old Landon Donovan will likely mean less playing time for 22-year-old Hawthorne striker Gyasi Zardes. The rookie appeared 27 times for the club last season, scoring four goals.
At the same time, the club sent promising 20-year-old Inglewood striker Jose Villarreal off on a year-long loan to Mexico's Cruz Azul for seasoning and even passed on its final SuperDraft selection in a tacit admission that no pick was capable of improving the battle-hardened squad.
"Gyasi played a lot more than necessary in the early going (last season), but he benefited from it," Arena said. "I think we have a little more flexibility with the things we can do with some of the (offensive) players."
Ishizaki's signing was announced a couple of days after the team quietly opened preseason training in the shadow of the annual national team camp that culminated in Saturday's winning if ragged effort over a mediocre South Korea team at sold-out StubHub Center in Carson.
Even much-maligned Chivas USA arguably made a bigger splash, unveiling a quartet of experienced signings last Tuesday including 34-year-old Mexican forward Adolfo Bautista, 32-year-old former Seattle midfielder Mauro Rosales and 32-year-old New Zealand veteran defender Tony Lochhead.
Chivas USA needed experienced help after limping to another MLS basement effort yet again last season with players largely untested in MLS. But evidently Bruce's babes weren't up to snuff, either, at the other end of the Western Conference standings.
The veteran signings are designed to increase the pressure for places in the starting XI, Arena conceded.
That would include most notably midfielder Robbie Rogers, who has consistently disappointed rather than becoming the consistent wide threat he was supposed to become upon joining the team last year in exchange for Mike Magee. Rogers has so far survived a midfield purge that claimed the likes of midfielder Michael Stephens (now reportedly on trial with the Norwegian club coached by former Chivas USA boss Bob Bradley), Hector Jimenez (shipped to Columbus) and Sean Franklin (although that was mainly a salary cap issue), but that could change unless he performs better.
"I haven't given up on him," Arena said. "It's important he play better this year. We're not going to put anyone on the field if they're not producing, if they're not playing well. There will be pressure on him as there will be on others. We need to push not only Robbie Rogers, but we have to push Landon, Gyasi, Juninho."
Youth remains an important facet of the club, as illustrated by last week's addition of LA Galaxy II, the first MLS-club owned and operated USL Pro team.
"It's a fabulous move in terms of the progression of our academy players to our first team," Arena said. "And it will give (younger) players on our MLS roster more opportunities to develop."
Youth must be served, just not too soon, if contending for another MLS Cup is the goal.

We all wonder what is in the air for 2006 - but for people with asthma and other breathing problems, advance knowledge of air pollution levels is very important. An ESA-backed project is forecasting daily forecasts via text message to selected individuals in parts of London and the London borough of Croydon.
As the video above recounts, the service anticipated especially high levels of air pollution during late June 2005, when a concentrated air pollution mass formed over central Europe. The winds carried that pollution to England, with ozone reaching harmful levels in London on 24 to 26 June.
However as part of a portfolio of services called PROMOTE, this development was predicted by the sophisticated French air quality modelling service PREV'AIR. Another PROMOTE service, YourAir, then included these inputs when modelling local air quality in the London borough of Croydon. Then, through a trial system called AirTEXT, a warning was sent via SMS text messages to around a thousand people with asthma or other vulnerable conditions, one day in advance of the elevated ozone levels.
The YourAir service combines regional air quality forecasts from PROMOTE partners with information on local road traffic patterns. The regional air quality information is important because not all pollution affecting a city actually originates there - studies show that up to half may originate elsewhere.
The forecasts include predictions of overall effects on health on an index from one to ten. The YourAir service resolves air pollution down to the scale of individual streets - highest levels are often found along routes with heavy traffic or other pollution sources, so information on street-by-street changes in pollution help vulnerable people make informed choices about their movements.
The prototype service covers Central London and Croydon in South London, which is one of the city's largest boroughs by area and the largest by population, with 330 000 inhabitants.
The pollution peak shown occurred in the summer, but air quality is a year-round problem. Some of the highest pollution events occur when the meteorological situation means local pollution remains trapped close to the ground to combine with drifting pollution from elsewhere. In London this can often happen during the winter.
Maria Ryan, a young mother of three, lives on the edge of Croydon. A mild asthmatic, she is participating in the AirTEXT project: "I'm living close to a main road, and though I don't know if it is connected or not, my asthma has got bad again during the last few years.
"I check the pollution levels in the newspaper but now I get a forecast by text message a day beforehand. I am glad to get it as a warning to be prepared and take my inhaler with me on a bad day. Going out without it would not be good!"
YourAir and AirTEXT are being developed by Cambridge Environmental Research Consultants (CERC) as demonstration services of ESA's PROMOTE consortium, intended to deliver atmospheric information to support informed decision making in this field and improve quality of life. CERC is also providing air quality forecasting coverage for the the London Borough of Camden, the City of York, the Avon Valley and the road network for South Wales.
PREV'AIR is coordinated by the French Ministry for Ecology and Sustainable Development. The French National Institute for Industrial Environment and Risks (INERIS) manages the computer system and website and issues daily air quality forecasts. The Pierre-Simon LaPlace Institute is in charge of the CHIMERE chemistry-transport model used for PREV'AIR forecasting, with a variety of other groups including Météo France and the Agency for the Environment and Energy Management (ADEME) providing model input data.
PROMOTE and GMES
PROMOTE is an ESA project that seeks to develop beneficial operational services for organisations and citizens that will use atmospheric data to address the concerns of both policymakers and individual citizens.
The four areas in which PROMOTE services are being developed are air quality, stratospheric ozone, UV exposure and climate change. Partners in the PROMOTE consortium include Météo France, the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) and the Max Planck Institute in Germany.
The project is part of GMES Services - the initial Services Element of Global Monitoring for Environment and Security. This is a joint initiative of ESA and the European Commission to combine all available Earth- and space-based information sources in order to develop an environmental monitoring capability in support of European environment and security goals.

Southampton defender Luke Shaw signs a new five-year deal
Southampton defender Luke Shaw has ended speculation over his future by signing a new deal at the club.
By Pete O'Rourke - Follow me: @skysportspeteo
Last Updated: 12/07/13 9:45pm
Shaw, who turned 18 on Friday, has pledged his long-term future to the St Mary's outfit by inking a new five-year deal.
The highly-rated left-back impressed for Southampton last season and his form attracted the interest of a host of the Premier League's big guns.
However, Southampton have managed to fend off any interest by tying down Shaw to a new contract.
Shaw, who has come though Southampton's academy, was delighted to sign the new deal after pledging his future to the club in January
"I'm very pleased to have finally signed it," Shaw told the club's official website. "I committed myself back in January, and I'm glad everything has been sorted out.
"I've been getting a lot of questions about my future, but all of the Saints fans will have known that I committed my future in January.
"I've been here since I was eight and I've loved every single moment of it. I want to stay at this Club, and signing this contract means I'm here for another five years.
Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino was happy to secure Shaw's future and end speculation of a move away from St Mary's for the talented full-back.
"This news merely confirms what we have known for some time - that Luke sees Southampton as the best place for him to develop," said Pochettino.
"It is very clear that he has a huge future ahead of him, and we are delighted that he shares our vision for his growth over the next few years.
"We hope that Luke's new contract will bring to an end any remaining speculation about his future, and that he can now focus fully on what promises to be an exciting season."

Khaled Meshaal
Hamas-Israel ceasefire takes hold amid deep mistrust
Cairo, November 22, 2012
A ceasefire between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers took hold on Thursday after eight days of conflict, although deep mistrust on both sides cast doubt on how long the Egyptian-sponsored deal can last.
Even after the ceasefire came into force late on Wednesday, a dozen rockets from the Gaza Strip landed in Israel, all in open areas, a police spokesman said. In Gaza, witnesses reported an explosion shortly after the truce took effect at 9 p.m (1900 GMT), but there were no casualties and the cause was unclear.
The deal prevented, at least for the moment, an Israeli ground invasion of the Palestinian enclave following bombing and rocket fire which killed five Israelis and 162 Gazans, including 37 children.
But trust was in short supply. The exiled leader of Hamas, Khaled Meshaal, said his Islamist movement would respect the truce if Israel did, but would respond to any violations. "If Israel complies, we are compliant. If it does not comply, our hands are on the trigger," he told a news conference in Cairo.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had agreed to "exhaust this opportunity for an extended truce", but told his people a tougher approach might be required in the future.
Both sides quickly began offering differing interpretations of the ceasefire, brokered by Egypt's new Islamist government and backed by the United States, highlighting the many actual or potential areas of discord.
If it holds, the truce will give 1.7 million Gazans respite from days of ferocious air strikes and halt rocket salvoes from militants that have unnerved a million people in southern Israel and reached Tel Aviv and Jerusalem for the first time.
At the United Nations, the Security Council called on both Israel and Hamas to uphold the ceasefire and commended Egypt's President Mohamed Mursi and others for brokering the truce.
The council said in a statement it "deplored the loss of civilian lives resulting from this situation and reiterated the need to take appropriate steps to ensure the safety and well-being of civilians and their protection in accordance with international humanitarian law."
"Allahu akbar, (God is greatest), dear people of Gaza you won," blared mosque loudspeakers in Gaza as the truce took effect. "You have broken the arrogance of the Jews."
Fifteen minutes later, wild celebratory gunfire echoed across the darkened streets, which gradually filled with crowds waving Palestinian flags. Ululating women leaned out of windows and fireworks lit up the sky.
Meshaal thanked Egypt for mediating and praised Iran for providing Gazans with financing and arms. "We have come out of this battle with our heads up high," he said, adding that Israel had been defeated and failed in its "adventure".
Some Israelis staged protests against the deal, notably in the southern town of Kiryat Malachi, where three people were killed by a Gaza rocket during the conflict, army radio said.
Netanyahu said he was willing to give the truce a chance but held open the possibility of reopening the conflict. "I know there are citizens expecting a more severe military action, and perhaps we shall need to do so," he said.
The Israeli leader, who faces a parliamentary election in January, delivered a similar message earlier in a telephone call with U.S. President Barack Obama, his office said.
"An open prison"
According to a text of the agreement seen by Reuters, both sides should halt all hostilities, with Israel desisting from incursions and targeting of individuals, while all Palestinian factions should cease rocket fire and cross-border attacks.
The deal also provides for easing Israeli restrictions on Gaza's residents, who live in what British Prime Minister David Cameron has called an "open prison".
The text said procedures for implementing this would be "dealt with after 24 hours from the start of the ceasefire".
Israeli sources said Israel would not lift a blockade of the enclave it enforced after Hamas, which rejects the Jewish state's right to exist, won a Palestinian election in 2006.
However, Meshaal said the deal covered the opening of all of the territory's border crossings. "The document stipulates the opening of the crossings, all the crossings, and not just Rafah," he said. Israel controls all of Gaza's crossings apart from the Rafah post with Egypt.
Hamas lost its top military commander to an Israeli strike in the conflict and suffered serious hits to its infrastructure and weaponry, but has emerged with its reputation both in the Arab world and at home stronger.
Israel can take comfort from the fact it dealt painful blows to its enemy, which will take many months to recover, and showed that it can defend itself from a barrage of missiles.
"No one is under the illusion that this is going to be an everlasting ceasefire. It is clear to everyone it will only be temporary," said Michael Herzog, a former chief of staff at the Israeli ministry of defence.
"But there is a chance that it could hold for a significant period of time, if all goes well," he told Reuters.
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, in a phone call with his Israeli counterpart, praised the performance of a U.S.-backed Israeli anti-rocket system known as "Iron Dome," which the Pentagon said intercepted over 85 percent of rockets fired at Israeli civilians.
Iron Dome "provided decision space for Israel to achieve its strategic goals without forcing further military actions," the Pentagon said in a statement.
Egypt, an important U.S. ally now under Islamist leadership, took centre stage in diplomacy to halt the bloodshed. Cairo has walked a fine line between its sympathies for Hamas, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood to which Mursi belongs, and its need to preserve its 1979 peace treaty with Israel and its ties with Washington, its main aid donor.
Announcing the agreement in Cairo, Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr said mediation had "resulted in understandings to cease fire, restore calm and halt the bloodshed".
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, standing beside Amr, thanked Mursi for peace efforts that she said showed "responsibility, leadership" in the region.
The Gaza conflict erupted in a Middle East already shaken by last year's Arab uprisings that toppled several veteran U.S.-backed leaders, including Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, and by a civil war in Syria, where President Bashar al-Assad is fighting for survival. – Reuters

California Institute of Technology's baseball team ended a 228-game losing streak Saturday with a 9-7 victory over Pacifica -- the Beavers' first win in nearly 10 years.
After dropping the first game of its season-opening doubleheader 5-0, Caltech won the second behind a complete-game seven-inning effort by freshman Daniel Chou. Caltech hadn't won since Feb. 15, 2003.
"It was almost as if they had been there before,'' first-year coach Matthew Mark said.
It was a non-conference game, though, and Caltech, mainly a Division III participant, has not won a Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference contest since 1988 - a span of 463 games.
Caltech's men's basketball team ended a 310-game conference losing streak in 2011, while the women's volleyball team ended a 56-match losing streak last year.

Enthusiasm for Learning Leads to Generous WCC Gift
Outside the west entrance to WCC's Morris Lawrence building, shooting skyward like the fountain in the pond adjacent to it, is a brightly polished stainless steel sculpture. The artwork evokes the nature surrounding it and the music emanating from the building next to it, the unmistakable signature style of famed Mexican artist Leonardo Nierman.
The story of how the sculpture, titled "Equinoccio" (Spanish for Equinox), came to rest outside a place known for music and performance is an interesting one. It starts with a woman who studied at WCC and the enthusiasm she had for the opportunities she found in and out of the classroom.
Sonia Kaufman and her family have been close friends of Nierman for many years, according to Anne Rubin, director of WCC's art gallery, Gallery One. "Sonia has taken several classes at Washtenaw," Rubin said. "I think the class that excited her the most to that point was the one she took with [performing arts instructor] Traci Komarmy, which went to the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario. Sonia thought that the College was doing terrific things."
Kaufman was so excited about the opportunities the College made available to her and other students, Rubin said, that she discussed them with Nierman, who is very interested in education. That conversation inspired the generous gift of a Nierman sculpture from the Kaufman family.
This set in motion a host of activities, including an exhibition series on Latin American art in Gallery One that included an exhibition of Nierman's tapestries and paintings. It culminated in a week-long travel/study opportunity to Mexico City in 2005 for 12 students, which included a visit to Nierman's studio and dinner with the artist, whose music-inspired art is reflected in the affectionate title he has been given by friends and admirers.
"In Maestro Nierman's neighborhood you see only ornate door fronts positioned close to the street; it's hard to determine the layout of the house behind it," said John Moreno, one of the people who participated in the trip. "Behind his house is a courtyard, then his studio. There had to be 20 or 30 sculptures of various sizes in the courtyard waiting to be sent out—it was really quite impressive. We knew he was going to donate one of them to the College, so we kept asking which one until it was pointed out to us. We took a lot of pictures of it so people back at the College could see what was coming."
Moreno, a retired middle school teacher, was impressed by the energy of Nierman, who was then 73. "He starts work in his studio around 3:00pm and keeps going well into the night," Moreno said. "He was quite hospitable and a very energizing man the two days he spent with us. That first day we had barely gotten into town and situated when he called and invited us to a performance of the Mexico City Symphony. Another day we toured some of the government buildings where his tapestries and paintings were displayed. The range of his work and his ability to go into different mediums is impressive."
Many of the students who traveled to Mexico City were on hand when the sculpture was installed outside the Morris Lawrence building in June 2008, with the artist and Kaufman present. Today it stands in testament that opportunities await us everywhere.

The dollar-yen chart shows a high degree of success in the Japanese central bankdefense of 76 yen as a support level. It's unusual for a central bank to be able to draw a line in the sand and successfully defend it. Usually this type of defense is a signal to go short but in this case the shorts were burned.
A support level is created when the supply runs into a wall of demand. Every time selling pressure approaches a particular level it is supported by buyers who have a more positive view of the future.
This temporarily halts the price decline. In a positive sense, when all the buyers at that level have bought, the price has nowhere to go but up as buyers have to bid higher to get into a position. In a negative sense, when buyers will only bid at lower levels, sellers have to lower their ask to liquidate their position. With such a shortage of buyers, the price falls to new lows.
Technically there is an important development on the chart and this is the creation of a new resistance level. A resistance level is created when the demand runs into a solid block of supply. Every time buying pressure approaches a particular level it is overwhelmed by sellers, which temporarily halts the price advance. When all the sellers at that level have sold, the price has nowhere to go but up as buyers have to bid higher to get a position.
As prices progress, these lines change character. Once broken on the upside, the old resistance level often acts as a new support level. This is because many people have bought at this level, and they all make similar profit and loss calculations.
Resistance levels help to set profit targets in short and long term time frames.
The previous historical resistance level was near 87 yen. Traders expected the current rally to continue to this level. Instead the rally has reacted away from the short-term resistance level near 84 yen. This was created in December 2010 and tested several times in 2011 until the major retreat from 84 yen developed in April 2011.
This has two consequences. First it increases the probability of a sustained retreat from 84 yen. The initial downside target is near 80 yen. This is a mid-point consolidation area in the trading band between 76 yen support and 84 yen resistance. The dollar-yen has spent a lot of time since September 2010 oscillating around this middle point.
The second consequence is a function of the new and the old resistance levels. A successful move above 84 is quickly blocked by longer-term historical resistance near 87 yen. These two features limit the ability of the dollar-yen to continue a strong and sustainable rally. A break above 84 yen has limited upside targets.
On balance this suggests there is a greater probability of a continued retreat away from 84 yen and a retests of support near 80 yen. This will provide short-term retreat and rebound trading opportunities. In the longer term there is a higher probability of the market continuing with consolidation and sideways trading behavior between 80 yen and 84 yen.

ORLANDO, FLA. – Coming from behind on four different occasions throughout the night, the Columbus Crew remained unbeaten in 2014 preseason play, completing a 4-4 draw on Wednesday evening at the 2014 Disney Pro Soccer Classic. The contest was the third and final match in group play, as the Black & Gold advance into the tournament's championship match on Saturday, March 1 as Group A victors. Gregg Berhalter's side is set to face reigning MLS Cup champion Sporting Kansas City in the Disney Pro Soccer Classic Final, with kickoff slated for 8:00 p.m. ET. Fans can catch all the action via ESPN 3.
Wednesday's contest proved to be the game of the tournament thus far, as the fans in attendance witnessed an eight-goal explosion, with the Crew refusing to concede defeat at every turn. Darwin Ceren kick-started Orlando City's attack, getting the soon-to-be MLS club on the board in the 30th minute. Just before the stroke of halftime Crew winger Justin Meram cut through Orlando's defense before getting the ball to frontline teammate Ryan Finley inside the area. The Notre Dame product slammed home the equalizer, sending the two sides into the break knotted at 1-1.
LISTEN: Berhalter, Meram and Gehrig comment on four-goal thriller
After Kevin Molino put Orlando ahead once more in the 52nd minute, substitute Ethan Finlay drew a penalty and converted the ensuing spot-kick in the 77th minute of play. The last ten minutes of action produced a frantic finish, with four goals being exchanged between the two teams, beginning with an 82nd minute strike from Adama Mbengue. Meram hit a screamer from the top of Orlando's area to pull things level, before Dennis Chin seemed to seal a Lions victory in the 89th minute.
However, it was Finlay who had the final word, as the Crew winger volleyed home the Black & Gold's fourth equalizer of the night. The 4-4 draw puts the Crew's 2014 overall preseason record at 3-0-1.

It is possible that the main title of the report Porphyria, Congenital Erythropoietic is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP) is a very rare inherited metabolic disorder resulting from the deficient function of the enzyme uroporphyrinogen lll cosynthase (UROS), the fourth enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Due to the impaired function of this enzyme, excessive amounts of particular porphyrins accumulate, particularly in the bone marrow, plasma, red blood cells, urine, teeth, and bones. The major symptom of this disorder is hypersensitivity of the skin to sunlight and some types of artificial light, such as fluorescent lights (photosensitivity). After exposure to light, the photo-activated porphyrins in the skin cause bullae (blistering) and the fluid-filled sacs rupture, and the lesions often get infected. These infected lesions can lead to scarring, bone loss, and deformities. The hands, arms, and face are the most commonly affected areas. CEP is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Typically, there is no family history of the disease. Both parents are usually healthy, but each carries a defective gene that they can pass to their children. Affected offspring have two copies of the defective gene, one inherited from each parent.
CEP is one of a group of disorders known as the porphyrias. Each porphyria is characterized by abnormally high levels of particular chemicals (porphyrins) in the body due to deficiencies of certain enzymes in the step-wise synthesis of heme, the essential component of hemoglobin and various hemo-proteins. The porphyrias can be classified as cutaneous or acute depending on their respective manifestations (See www.porphyriafoundation.com). There are at least seven types of porphyria. The symptoms associated with the various types of porphyria differ, depending upon the specific enzyme that is deficient. People who have one type of porphyria do not develop the other types, however, rare patients have had two different porphyrias.

Firefighter dead, 6 injured in Portugal wildfire
TONDELA, Portugal (AP) — Portuguese authorities say one firefighter has died and six were injured as they battled a wildfire in a remote and hilly region.
A civil protection agency official confirmed the death and injuries, but said he could not immediately provide more information about what happened to the firefighters sent Thursday to put out a fire in the municipality of Tondela, in north central Portugal about a three-hour drive from the capital of Lisbon. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of department rules preventing him from being named.
Numerous fires have broken out in three regions of north central and northern Portugal in recent days, and Portuguese media say 700 firefighters are battling the blazes.

Feasibility Study of Concrete Reinforced with Recycled Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rebar is a rapidly advancing reinforcement technique for concrete structures that are subjected to impact and high-cycle dynamic loading. The high strength, fatigue and corrosion resistance makes FRP an ideal material for reinforcement of railroad sleepers.
Professor Sulapha Peethamparan and graduate student Robert Thomas from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Professor Ajit Achuthan from the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, have teamed up with Composite Systems Technologies (Massena, NY), a local composite manufacturer, to evaluate the feasibility of using fully-recycled FRP rebar in concrete rail structures. The project is supported by Composite Systems Technologies and CAMP.
Figure 4: A hollow sleeper cross section with reinforcement at mid-height of the bottom flange.
The flexural response of hollow pilot-scale sleepers (shown in Figure 4) with a span length of 36 inches was evaluated for beams reinforced with steel rebar, commercially available (non-recycled) FRP rebar, and fully-recycled rebar processed by Composite Systems Technologies. The beams were cast with a hollow cross-section for reducing the weight and increasing the efficient material usage.
Figure 5 shows the resulting flexural response of three beams with identical reinforcement area. The steel-reinforced concrete beam exhibited higher flexural strength compared to FRP –reinforced concrete beams due to the higher strength of the steel reinforcement, which is approximately two times the strength of FRP rebars. Interestingly, the recycled FRP-reinforced beam stiffness and strength were nearly identical to the commercial FRP-reinforced beam.
Figure 5: The flexural response of hollow sleeper beams under four-point bending shows nearly identical behavior between recycled and commercial FRP reinforcement.
More detailed investigation into the bond development and cyclic load resistance of this type of beam are necessary prior to full-scale implementation and testing, but it has been shown that the locally-manufactured recycled FRP rebar is as effective as FRP rebar that is currently available on the market. Though the flexural strength of the FRP rebar reinforced concrete is marginally lower than the concrete reinforced with the same volume of steel, the advantages in terms of lower maintenance cost, lower weight and longer design life may make it a very promising solution.
CAMP and CACT Hold the Second Joint Spring Symposium
The Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP) at Clarkson University and the Center for Advanced Ceramic Technology (CACT) at Alfred University held their second joint Spring Symposium. The event took place at the Double Tree Hotel in Rochester, New York on March 11&12, 2013. This Symposium covered a broad range of research activities and gave industrial scientists and engineers a chance to interact with CAMP / CACT faculty on their expertise. Richard Schmachtenberg (Senior Vice President, Consumables Development & Manufacturing Group, Xerox Corporation) delivered the Keynote Address titled "Landscape of Bio-based and Sustainable Materials." This successful meeting was both enlightening and stimulating and included presentations by university and industrial representatives.

FJR Forum & AZB Ride Mexico's Norte Baja Triangle!
Posted 29 March 2012 - 05:48 AM
At 5ish in the morning, theres not many brain cells in operation yet, so my memory of the morning ride out is sketchy. I think I met up with Henry and Bob at Starbucks in Mesa, then we rode out I-10 to Gila Bend. Fortunately, the autopilot didnt take me to work.
In Gila Bend, Don, Greg Jane, and Barry were there. Then it was the long boring stretch on I-8 to Yuma where we met David. Some more boring I-8, then at least the Mountain Springs Grade is somewhat interesting. At the top of the hill, we hopped onto CA-94. This is a fun little road that twists through the boulders through some little farming towns on its way to Tecate and our border cross.
Got through the border with a quick inspection. The bad news was that the Banjercito office had closed down. Don needed to cancel his. We were told that the one at Algondones was also closed and in fact the nearest were Tijuana and Sonoita (on the road to Rocky Pt.). Hmmm..
From Tecate, we headed southwest for Ensenada. This is very scenic country, very reminicent of central California. There are lots of wineries in the area, interspersed in the valleys between the mountains. Most of the road was fun, except for some construction zones. Theres a reason that GS are so popular in Mexico.
By mid afternoon, we were decending into Ensenadas downtown tourist area and our hotel. After a long ride, the pool was, err, lets just say "refreshing" (cold!).
Ensenada claims the 2nd biggest Mexican flag, It flies over their harbor where the cruise liners come to port.
Because of the cruise boats, the downtown area is kept very nice, clean and bustling with shops, resturants and bars. It has somewhat of a European feel, with sidewalk dining.
Don wanted to start the evening at Hussongs tavern, allegedly the oldest continuously operating bar in the Baja and favorite of Paul Newman and Steve McQueen.
In front, theres a guy sharpening knives, in case anybody wants to get into some Chingaso.
Melanie made a new friend.
For dinner, we ate at the resturant across from the hotel. The food was good, with very fresh seafood as you might expect. The drinks were flowing also. Heres some shots of us before dinner.
Heres Greg commenting on a Margerita. Yes, this is an after dinner and many drinks shot.
The bill ended up being some rather large number and there were rumors of $100 tips being passed around. Eventually, enough money was rounded up and we left to wander the streets with major buzzes, full bellies and empty wallets.
Greg is hamming it up with the art.
Next morning, we rode over to La Bufadora (The Blowhole). It is a formation in the ocean cliffs that shoots water like a gieser when a wave crashes into shore. Being a tourist spot, the entrance is lined with shops and resturant/bars. The cruise ships send their folks over on busses.
A look up the shopping street.
We got the bikes parked and headed over to see the spray.
Seagulls hanging out at the parking area.
A view of the bay.
The other side. The blowhole is next to that red tiled building.
The Bufadora itself.
Another look across the bay.
For lunch, we picked a taco shop, mostly based on the smell as we rode by. It was excellent.
Some of the other resturants are more rustic.
Some more wandering around the stores.
Melanie and Viagra man. Lots of pharmacies to provide cheap drugs, without a prescription, to the tourists.
On the way back, we shot some photos from the vistas on the hills.
Those circles in the water are shrimp farms. The nets trap the shrimp and protect them from other fish.
This is the bay of Ensenada, on the other side of the peninsula from Bufadora. The town of Ensenada is way in the background.
Along the road are some stands which sell picked veggies and tamales. The veggies are locally grown including olives and olive oil.
Im always ready for a tamale, so we tried the traditional beef and also a pineapple (pina) tamale.
The non-tamale junkies in the group had a drink across the street.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 05:50 AM
There was also a guy selling birds.
Back in town, I headed for the Malecon (boardwalk) along the port. This wierd guy is on top of a local nightclub.
Heres a nice shot of the flag. It is big !
I know that Don is totally in to them, so I took a picture of a Goldwing for him.
Some shots of the harbor.
And some snoozing sea lions.
Heres the local dry dock.
Heres some pictures of pelicans hanging out.
Theres lots of street food vendors in Mexico. This guy whipped up a mean torta (Mexican style sandwich, torta=turtle because the bun is turtle shell shaped). Grilled steak, avacado sauce, garnish and hot sauce on a warm grilled roll.
When I returned to the hotel, one of the maids offered to wash my bike for $2. My bike hadnt been washed in, ... err... since .. Well its been a while. I gave her $5 and ended up with a nice clean shiny bike. Don had his done also.
Then time for a little more shopping before dinner.
Im being eaten by a shark!
Greg with a fruity drink.
Dons new girlfriend ! Shes hot.
The next morning, we crossed the Baja over to San Filipe. Sorry, for some reason, I didnt take many more pictures and now I wish I had.
Because the Baja is a series of mountains and valleys running north to south, the road across west to east was fun. Lots of twisties and an occastional grind of the floorboards on the big blue wing. We stopped for breakfast in Valle de la Trinidad. The local resturant had a Sunday buffet going. Lots of traditional recepies and all delicious. Lots of dirt bikers and off roaders in this area. Its part of the Baja 1000 course. After filling up, we continued east and eventually crossed the last string of mountains. Before us is the Colorado river delta. The insides of the Grand Canyon are in there somewhere along with sand from most of the soutwest. Heading south, the delta turned into tide basins then turned into real ocean and then we arrived.
After checking in at the hotel, Don and Barry rode with Henry to visit his Tia, who has a beach house just south.
Melanie and I spent the afternoon on the beach. The water here is perfect this time of year, not too cold, not too bath watery. I chatted with some fishermen about what they were bringing in.
We wandered around the shops some, as the prices were much better here than Ensenada. Melanie has more metal and jewels around her wrists.
We had dinner at Dons namesake resturant, Chuys. Nothing better then fish just plucked out of the ocean.
Monday morning, it was time to head home. We grabbed some breakfast at a place near the beach.
On the ride back, the road skirts around the edge of the river delta. The scenery is unusual, with jagged mountains dropping into vast flat, featureless salt plains and mud flats. Part of the road is a dirt causeway, about 1/3 of which is normally covered with sand. We had to hang left to avoid the sand areas.
When the underground water turns from brackish to fresh, farming sprouts up and the next hour or so of the ride is through a farming wonderland. A lot of the crop was green onions and the air carried the aroma. Made me want to do some stir-fry chicken and green onions. After a minor detour, (Don - the GPS had it right !! ), we arrived in San Luis del Rio Colorado. Here we said goodby to David as his home in Yuma was just across the fence.
From there, it was a long boring ride down Mex-2 to Sonoita. The interesting thing here is to see our tax dollars at work on the border "fence". I put fence in quotes. At San Luis DC, the fence is a tall strong steel structure. As you head east, the fence gets shorter. And shorter. Eventually, it is only 3 tall. I guess it is only intended to stop cars and quads. They catch the walkers by following their footprints. In some places, where the terrain is too tough, there is no fence at all.
At Sonoita, Don left to clear his Banjercito and the rest of us headed for the border. On advice of one of the locals, we lane split our way to the front of the line and go to the inspection area quickly. They were training a new dog and put some "fake" cocaine on Gregs bike to work the dog. They asked me and I said "No way", as I dont want the next dog to freak out over my bike six months from now.
After a burger at Ajo Dairy Queen, Melanie and I hit the road back home.
All in all, a great trip, great weather, no problems and lots of fun.

What is conjunctivitis?
Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye. The conjunctiva is the membrane that lines the inside of the eye and also a thin membrane that covers the actual eye.
The most common symptoms are:
- Gritty feeling in one or both eyes
- Itchy, irritated eyes
- Clear, thin drainage (usually seen with viral or allergic causes); increased tearing
- Sneezing and runny nose (usually see with allergic causes)
- Stringy discharge from the eyes (usually seen with allergic causes)
- Thick, green drainage from the eyes (usually seen with bacterial causes)
- Lesion with a blister or crusty appearance (usually seen with herpes infection)
- Eyes that are matted together in the morning
- Swelling of the eyelids
- Pink or red discoloration of the whites of one or both eyes
- Discomfort when the child looks at a light
- Burning in the eyes
The symptoms of conjunctivitis may look like other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your health care provider for a diagnosis.
There are many different causes of conjunctivitis. The following are the most common causes:
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Allergies
- Immune system problem
- Chemicals
- Seen sometimes in the newborn period after the use of medicine in the eye to prevent other problems
- Seen shortly after contact with an irritating substance, such as chlorinated water in swimming pools, chemical vapors, fumes, ammonia and air pollution
How is it diagnosed?
Conjunctivitis is usually diagnosed based on a complete medical history and physical exam of your eye. Cultures of the eye drainage are usually not required, but may be done to help confirm the cause of the infection.
Conjunctivitis is usually divided into at least two categories—newborn conjunctivitis and childhood conjunctivitis—with different causes and treatments for each.
Newborn conjunctivitis
The following are the most common causes and treatment options for newborn conjunctivitis:
- Chemical conjunctivitis—This is related to an irritation in the eye from the use of eye drops that are given to the newborn to help prevent a bacterial infection. Sometimes, the newborn reacts to the drops and may develop a chemical conjunctivitis. The eyes are usually mildly red and inflamed, starting a few hours after the drops have been placed in the eye, and lasts for only 24 to 36 hours. This type of conjunctivitis usually requires no treatment.
- Gonococcal conjunctivitis—This is caused by a bacteria called Neisseria gonorrhea. The newborn obtains this type of conjunctivitis by the passage through the birth canal from an infected mother. This type of conjunctivitis may be prevented with the use of eye drops in newborns at birth. The newborn eyes usually are very red, with thick drainage and swelling of the eyelids. This type usually starts about two to four days after birth. Treatment for gonococcal conjunctivitis usually will include antibiotics through an intravenous (IV) catheter.
- Inclusion conjunctivitis—This is caused by an infection with chlamydia trachomatis, obtained by passage through the birth canal from an infected mother. The symptoms include moderate thick drainage from the eyes, redness of the eyes, swelling of the conjunctiva, and some swelling of the eyelids. This type of conjunctivitis usually starts five to 12 days after birth. Treatment usually will include oral antibiotics.
- Other bacterial causes—After the first week of life, other bacteria may be the cause of conjunctivitis in the newborn. The eyes may be red and swollen with some drainage. Treatment depends on the type of bacteria that has caused the infection. Treatment usually will include antibiotic drops or ointments to the eye, warm compresses to the eye and proper hygiene when touching the infected eyes.
Childhood conjunctivitis
Childhood conjunctivitis is a swelling of the conjunctiva and may also include an infection. It is a very common problem in children. Also, large outbreaks of conjunctivitis are often seen in daycare settings or schools. The following are the most common causes of childhood conjunctivitis:
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Allergies
- Herpes
Types of treatment
Your child's health care provider will consider your child's age, overall health, medical history and other factors when advising treatment. Specific treatment depends on the underlying cause of the conjunctivitis.
- For bacterial causes—The doctor may order antibiotic drops to put in the eyes.
- For viral causes—Viral conjunctivitis usually does not require treatment. However, it may be difficult to know whether the cause is viral or bacterial, so the health care provider may prescribe drops to cover a bacterial infection as well.
- For allergic causes—Treatment for conjunctivitis caused by allergies usually will involve treating the allergies. The doctor may order oral medications or eye drops to help with the allergies.
- For herpes—If your child has an infection of the eye caused by a herpes infection, the doctor may refer you to an eye care specialist. Your child may be given both oral medications and eye drops. This is a more serious type of infection and may result in scarring of the eye and loss of vision.
- For chemical (irritant) in children—Treatment for conjunctivitis caused by mild chemical exposure usually will involve flushing of the eyes with saline. The doctor may order steroid eye drops. Exposure of harsh chemical, such as alkali and acids, to the eyes are medical emergencies and can lead to serious injuries. Call 911 immediately.
Other instructions
Infection can be spread from one eye to the other, or to other people, by touching the affected eye or drainage from the eye. Proper hand washing is very important. Also avoid touching your eyes with your hands, change pillowcases frequently and do not reuse tissues or hand towels on your face. Drainage from the eye is contagious for 24 to 48 hours after beginning treatment.

Please place only one request for bidding assistance at a time. Do not place subsequent requests for other cities until you have bid the full strategy provided in your initial request. This does not mean you have to be successful with your initial request before submitting another, but you must post back with the results of your bid before requesting another. This rule has been implemented due to repeated abuse of our rules. The Administrators and Moderators have repeatedly been taken advantage of by providing multiple bidding strategies to the same person, only to have that person never post back or in some other way violate our stated rules.
Please only ask for assistance for a bid that you will be placing yourself. Do not ask for a bidding strategy for someone else. Ask that person to post their request his/herself. All comments and questions MUST be posted on BiddingForTravel.com, not by private message. And please do not ask questions that are covered in the Hotel FAQ unless they are not perfectly clear to you such as free re-bidding.
BiddingForTravel.com supports Priceline.com (US) travel bidding only. If you are unable to use Priceline's U.S. website, please do not request a bidding strategy.
If you fully review the Hotel FAQ and provide the answers to these questions when requesting bidding help for a hotel stay (just the answers will suffice, please do not post the entire form), you will have provided enough information for us to post an informed bidding strategy for you. Please do not include additional information that the person responding does not have to know in order to prepare the bidding strategy, such as your plans at your destination, that it's your honeymoon, birthday, etc. Please post all and ONLY the requested information.
Please do not copy the information from someone else's request. Every bid is unique. That is why we ask for all of this information that is specific to your bid only, not someone else's.
Once a reply is given to you, do NOT edit your earlier request. All updates and/or changes to your request should be posted as a reply on the same topic.
Hotel 'Bidding Assistance' Form:
This form has been created to assist you in providing the information required when requesting bidding assistance for a hotel stay. What is most important is the lowest available rate info. because that is what allows the respondent to help you become an informed bidder and help to insure that you neither overbid or waste bidding opportunities. Please post the requested information in the forum for the city, state or country of the location you are bidding. If you email or private message this information or any bidding-related question, you will not receive a response, as they are deleted unread.
1) The 'City' (or region) you would be bidding for:
2) The 'Zones' (the name (not the number) of the city areas) that are acceptable (when you list more than one zone, make it clear if each zone is equally acceptable or if you want to bid up to your limit for the first zone before bidding for the next zone. Do not just say that you prefer a particular zone without indicating if you want to bid up to your limit for that zone first and do not list a percentage preference as that is too inconcrete to prepare a bidding strategy). Please do not ask for more than two strategies for those who would like to bid each zone separately and/or bid more than one quality level.
3) Date of Hotel Checkin:
4) Date of Hotel Checkout:
5) Number of rooms needed:
6) Hotel Quality Level or 'star rating' desired (1-5):
7) Lowest available rates found in the zones and quality level you desire (list min. of 3) and name the hotel alongside its rate. If you are listing rates for hotels in more than one zone, be sure to include the zone name with the hotel name and rate. Also, list any Priceline "Express Deal" rate offered in your zone and at your quality level (or higher quality level) for your exact dates. If you do not thoroughly check rates, you may not provide the lowest which could result in an inaccurate response. Please convert all non-U.S. currency to U.S. dollars. Bidding strategies are based on the information you provide. See below about providing inaccurate information..
8 ) Source website(s) of lowest available rates (use only the hotels' own website) (do not use Expedia or any hotel consolidators like Hotels.com). The best place to check rates is the respective Hotel List.
9) Give the name (not the number) of each and every one of your free re-bidding zones (that means all of them) (determining free re-bids is explained in Hotel FAQ #9 and #10. The Hotel Lists cannot be used for this purpose. Please do not look at the Hotel List to determine your free re-bid zones. You must check the zones on Priceline's website. Free re-bidding is the major point of confusion with new users so please indicate that you have a complete understanding of free re-bidding after reading #9 and #10 in the Hotel FAQ. Answering "I have not bid yet" or "I can only stay in X zone" are not correct answers and indicates to us that you do not have an understanding of free re-bidding). If you are asking for a bidding strategy for more than one quality level, list your free re-bid zones separately for each quality level you are asking a strategy for. Until you correctly name your free re-bid zones, a bidding strategy cannot be provided. We make no exceptions as knowing how to determine your free re-bid zones is the most important thing to know about Priceline hotel bidding:
10) Maximum willing to bid (before taxes and fees) per room/per night your bidding limit should be the maximum you are willing to pay at the time you post your request, regardless of the amount of winning bids posted WHICH MUST BE NO LESS THAN 10% LESS THAN THE RELEVANT EXPRESS DEAL RATE. DO NOT STATE A LIMIT THAT YOU WILL NOT BID UP TO AT THE TIME OF YOUR REQUEST AND DO NOT STATE AN AMOUNT THAT IS LESS THAN YOU ARE ACTUALLY WILLING TO BID. Please be realistic with your limit based on available rates for your travel dates. If you have previously bid this same stay, please post the full details of your failed bid history and when you last bid (exact date and time; please don't say this morning, last night or yesterday): THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
11) Have you read the Hotel FAQ on this board and checked for updates today and agree to Pricelines rules, specifically that you are bidding for double occupancy (which only means two people per room, and that Priceline reservations are non-cancelable, non-refundable and non-changeable) and that there is no way to increase or decrease your chances of getting a specific hotel? We hope you will be honest when you answer this question because it is very apparent on many requests that the person answers yes to this when they have not read our Hotel FAQ. If you haven't read it, please do so you will be honest in your answer and you will avoid making a mistake that often comes without reading our Hotel FAQ.
12) Will you be bidding immediately with NO CAVEATS (bid strategies are based on current info.) See Response #3 below? If you are not immediately ready to bid, please do not say that you are as it is a waste of everyone's time and it is disrespectful of the free service offered. Ignoring this request is disrespectful of the free service you are asking for and the primary untruth the people make. WE ARE VERY SERIOUS ABOUT BEING IMMEDIATELY READY TO BID AND WAITING A FEW MINUTES TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE AND THEN BIDDING IMMEDIATELY. WE BAN AGGRESSIVELY FOR VIOLATING THIS RULE.
13) Will you post the results of your bid and updates (where applicable) on the same day, respond to all Administrator/Moderator questions and will you place your bid through the BiddingForTravel link to Priceline in the signature of my posts which requires that you use Priceline.com (US) and no other website for bidding?
Now please go back and make sure that you have provided each and every piece of information requested so that the respondent doesn't have to ask you to if you haven't provided all of the information requested. If you have omitted even one piece of information requested, a strategy cannot be provided
BiddingForTravel.com operates on an honor system. Unfortunately, we continue to have people waste our time by indicating they are immediately ready to bid when they are not. Please consider that those who honestly need assistance within the parameters set forth at BiddingForTravel.com would be disserviced by continued abuse of the free service we offer. Please be respectful and comply with this policy. If you do not acknowledge the strategy or other response provided by an Administrator or Moderator, it is unlikely you will receive help in the future. You may also lose access to BiddingForTravel.com.
If it is determined that you have deliberately been untruthful in any aspect of your request, including saying you are immediately ready to bid when you are not, your posting privileges will be terminated without comment. Be sure to read http://biddingfortravel.yuku.com/topic/ ... tion-Reque.

UPDATED: Reid decries 'lies' in AFP anti-Obamacare adsBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
February 26. 2014 6:43PM
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Wednesday labeled as "lies" the accusations in television ads being aired against congressional supporters of the Affordable Care Act in New Hampshire and three other states.
The conservative issues group Americans for Prosperity is airing two television ads in New Hampshire featuring Republican activists who say they are losing their health insurance and may not be able to keep their doctors and hospitals under Obamacare.
Ads are also being aired in Michigan, West Virginia and North Carolina, according to AFP.
Nevada Democrat Reid, on the Senate floor Wednesday, said the ads paid for by "oil magnates, the Koch brothers," who head AFP, are "stories made up from whole cloth, lies, distorted by Republicans to gain headlines or make political advertisements."
Reid did not specify the New Hampshire or those of the other states, but addressed them in general.
Reid's comments drew criticism from AFP's New Hampshire director.
"Senator Reid's comments about the damage that ObamaCare has done to New Hampshire residents like Helen DePrima and Donna Marzullo are both inaccurate and outrageous," said Greg Moore. "He owes these women an apology for his slanderous attack on their character.
State Republican Party chairman Jennifer Horn called on Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to denounce Reid's comments, calling those comments "outrageous and disgusting."
Meanwhile, New Hampshire Democratic Party spokesman Harrell Kirstein acknowledged Wednesday that he told a WMUR reporter earlier this week that the two women in the New Hampshire ads, Donna Marzullo and Helen DePrima, are activists.
WMUR had reported that Democrats had "accused" the two women of being activists, but Kirstein initially denied it.
Activists are often used in political and so-called issue advocacy ads on both sides in support or opposition to candidates or causes.
Commenting on the ads and the NHGOP and AFP criticisms of Reid's remarks, Kirstein said:
"This is a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that Republicans want to go back to the days where insurance companies could deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions like diabetes and limit lifetime benefits forcing people to face cancer and bankruptcy at the same time. Now they have the big oil Koch Brothers polluting New Hampshire airwaves pushing that agenda and trying to buy a congress that will vote their interests, not New Hampshire's."

Scholarship recipients at Pamlico Community College recently presented scholarship donors with letters of appreciation in a special ceremony Nov. 15 held on the college campus in the Ned Everett Delamar Center.
Scholarship recipients at Pamlico Community College recently presented scholarship donors with letters of appreciation in a special ceremony Nov. 15 held on the college campus in the Ned Everett Delamar Center.
The scholarship ceremony is an annual event coordinated by the Pamlico Community College Foundation.
�We use this occasion to recognize the academic achievement of scholarship recipients and the generosity of individual and corporate donors as well as contributions made from other Foundations,� said Bev Fruhling, PCC Foundation president.
Scholarships ranging from $125 to $1,250 per semester were awarded to 39 students for the 2012-13 fall semester.
She added, �This year�s event was particularly significant in that the first Margaret Rawls Stancil Memorial Scholarship was awarded due to a generous donation Stancil earmarked for the college in her estate. Karey Edwards, a Business Administration/Associate in Arts major from New Bern was named the first recipient of this scholarship.
Immediately following the scholarship ceremony, guests re-convened in the college�s board room for the unveiling of a plaque officially naming the board room, The Margaret Rawls Stancil Board Room. PCC Trustee Larry Prescott provided those present with a brief synopsis of Stancil�s philanthropic record supporting and furthering educational benefits for area students.
"The generosity of our scholarship donors truly makes a significant impact on the lives of our students. Our students are exceptionally grateful and understand fully how their opportunities are enhanced by these generous donors," said Jo Woolard, PCC Director of Financial Aid. �Even those who make small donations to our scholarship fund make a big difference for students with limited resources.�
Also noting the significance of public support for student assistance, PCC President Cleve H. Cox, said, �Our Scholarship Recognition Ceremony is a great occasion to recognize those who give unselfishly to the college and to those who are awarded the scholarships, thereby making it possible for them to continue their education. We welcome individual support as well as that of our corporate partners that include Wells Fargo, State Employees Credit Union, and Minges Bottling/Pepsi.
Ben Casey is director of community relations and the public information officer for Pamlico Community College. To contact him, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

NH medical marijuana OK'd by legislature
By GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
— With little discussion, the Senate and House voted overwhelmingly to allow chronically and terminally ill patients to use marijuana if other drugs prove ineffective.
Gov. Maggie Hassan has said she will sign the bill. When she does, New Hampshire will become the final New England state to establish a medical marijuana program and the 19th state along with Washington, D.C., with similar programs.
House Bill 573 establishes a medical marijuana program for New Hampshire patients who are both chronically ill and exhibit certain symptoms, and who have had the same physician for more than three months.
Earlier this session the Senate bowed to Hassan's concerns and removed provisions from the bill allowing patients to grow their own plants. She also sought and the Senate agreed to eliminate post traumatic stress syndrome from the program.
The House and Senate agreed last week to a compromise bill that mirrored the Senate changes.
Sen. Peggy Gilmour, D-Hollis, praised the compromise and said it will provide "one more tool in the toolbox for people who are, unfortunately, suffering."
The House approved the compromise agreement without debate.
"This legislation has been a long time coming and is a much-needed victory for those with serious illnesses who find significant relief in medical marijuana," said Matt Simon, a legislative analyst for the Marijuana Policy Project. "People suffering from cancer and HIV/AIDS in New York and other states are just as deserving of sensible and compassionate laws as those here in New Hampshire."
Under the bill, patients would purchase marijuana from four regional dispensaries. A person who qualifies for the program must have both a debilitating disease such as cancer, glaucoma, AIDS or hepatitis C, and conditions such as significant weight loss, severe pain or wasting syndrome.
Many medical marijuana supporters balked at Hassan's requests, but said it is important to pass a medical marijuana bill this session. Lawmakers have approved medical marijuana in the past, only to have former Gov. John Lynch veto the bills and legislators fail to override.

Please give us a break from Catherine Spencer. I do realize the lady has a lot to say, but please, week in week out, she has some hateful negative comment to say, and frankly, it is getting very old. We realize her outlook on pretty much everything is doom and gloom and that's fine, but maybe we, the readers, would like a extended break from that. I'm sure she can't be the only one in Montezuma County with an opinion. Please share some of the others with us.
