This is a great movie, especially if you're a fan of westerns. The storyline is good, the acting is also good, and it's even got a good lesson to learn from it. One of my favorites.

Coming into work this morning the clutch cable just felt odd. I get a cup of coffee then go outside to check it...pull the lever twice and the cable breaks. Talk about lucky, at least it happened in the parking lot.
Now the fun. I searched every site that I could think of and did some blind google searches and can't find anybody that has this cable for sale. A & S had one but the picture looks completly different. Anyone know of a hook-up? This is my daily rider; I need to get it back on the street!

Hendriks' three shutout innings pace Twins
Right-hander fans two, allows four hits; Morneau drives in three runs
By Rhett Bollinger / MLB.com
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Right-hander Liam Hendriks tossed three scoreless innings and Justin Morneau drove home three runs to help the Twins secure a 7-1 win over the Orioles on Thursday at Hammond Stadium.
Hendriks, who was making his second start of the spring and is competing for a spot in Minnesota's rotation, gave up four hits and struck out two. He improved his ERA to 1.80 ERA in five Grapefruit League innings.
"It was good," Hendriks said. "I threw some first-pitch curveballs for strikes, which is always nice. I went out there and felt a lot better than last time. The ball was coming out good and I got ahead of some guys and it was a lot better."
He fared much better than Orioles right-hander Jair Jurrjens, who lasted just one inning and surrendered three runs on two hits and three walks. It was the second start of the spring for Jurrjens, who is competing for a spot in Baltimore's rotation after joining the club on a Minor League deal.
"My timing today was way off," said Jurrjens, who said it was a combination of things, including flying open in his delivery, that lead to three walks. "Yes, [it's] a mechanics issue. I think I have been having bad habits for a couple of years, I just got to figure out how to get the good habits back, the good timing. Get that feel back."
Morneau had the big hit in the opening frame against Jurrjens with a bases-clearing double with one out. He was only credited with two RBIs on the play, as second baseman Yamaico Navarro was charged with a throwing error.
Minnesota added two more runs in the third with Josh Willingham plating a run on an RBI double before Morneau brought home Willingham with a single off left-hander Mike Belfiore.
The Twins scored again in the fourth against Orioles prospect Kevin Gausman, who was the club's first-round pick in last year's First-Year Player Draft. Joe Mauer brought home the run on his second hit of the game.
Eduardo Escobar later added a sacrifice fly for the Twins in the sixth inning off right-hander Zach Clark to score Brian Dozier.
Xavier Avery drove in Baltimore's run with a ninth-inning sacrifice fly.
Twins up next: The Twins are making the trek across the state to play the Marlins in Jupiter on Friday at 1:05 p.m. ET at Roger Dean Stadium. Right-hander Vance Worley, who was acquired in the trade that sent Ben Revere to Philadelphia, is scheduled to make his second start of the spring for the Twins. Right-hander Henderson Alvarez is slated to start for the Marlins.

here's what i wore for day 1:
cardi: forever 21. top: mine. skirt: bcbg (thrifted). tights: target. boots: target. earrings: charlotte russe.
was supposed to have the day off and therefore have a relatively chill day and recover from a fun kayaking adventure yesterday (more on that later) and a super looooong week last week. my plan was to sleep in. i woke up to use the restroom and while checking the time on my phone, i had a voicemail from my coworker who was sick. so being the very nice person i am, i ended up going into work today.
i threw one the first thing i really wanted to wear, which was this yellow cardi. i like the yellow + grey combo, so i threw on the grey ruffled blouse, and my new favorite skirt, which i found at goodwill for $5 - from bcbg, tags still attached. SCORE!
anyhow, i waited til the veeeeery last possible minute to pick out my 30 items then ran out of time to post them, so here they are, FINALLY, in all their glory:
top photo (L-R): h&m, anthro, kensie girl, the limited (thrifted)
bottom photo (L-R): mine, forever 21, thrifted, forever 21, banana republic (crossroads)
(L-R): forever 21, cotton candy, forever 21
(L-R): gap, h&m, jaques moret
(yes, SIX. because it NEVER stops being freezing here, even if it's summer)
(L-R): anthro, gap, gap, h&m, wet seal, forever 21
(clockwise from top): target, h&m, payless, rocket dog, thrifted, target.
i tried to include items that i tend to wear a lot, along with some pieces that i don't wear very often but always mean to, and also tried to include a bit of variety - some fun atuff, some stuff that goes with everything. we'll see how it goes

I hope he did learn something from this game though. We'll see how well he can bounce back in miami.
Jets get Braylon Edwards great trade hes a big time reciever and plays like one, he just always lacked a QB to get him the ball and i think sanchez is exactly that they will build chemistry and form a dynamic-duo
great trade for the Jets
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Mangini is coming through for us first sanchez, now edwards.
I was hearing how braylon fell off last year when it was really the QB play from anderson/quinn that made him have an average season (55 catches, 800 yards). With sanchez he'll be back to his all-pro form.
Im glad we got Santana when we did and I am pissed Dan Snyder did not pull the trigger to bring Mark to D.C.....Jason Campbell is a ****ing zombie.
how about my boy Miles Austin coming through with 250 receiving yds. saving us from an embarrassing lose to the chiefs
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Talking about washington and dallas, redskins are lost and dallas is an enigma.
The sanchez to braylon connection is amazing. They could have had three tds together.
just like i expected and edwards come through with that huge catch to keep his feet in and get the score All pro catch hes something special
and dallas is fine we got the personnel to win and compete for the super bowl we just need a super bowl coach
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
^^^^^Dallas is makin' it happen. Who the **** is miles austin
Great game by the JETS this weekend. We lost Leon Washington but Shonn Greene filled in nicely. The rookie is the future and he proved how good he can be at the pro level.
Sanchez eating a hot dog on the sideline was hilarious.
The planets were aligned this weekend, as the Yankees won, the Jets won and the giants lost
yea man haha, and i got no clue loll, but miles austin is the real deal man
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Lookin' forward to the Jets/dolphins game tomorrow. We need this one. Both sides been talking **** the whole week. Time to see who really can back up their words.
Jets have to have this game. As far as it means in the tiebreaking standards and everything.

The fair folk have a long history of entangling themselves in the love lives of mortals. Shakespeare made use of this trope in A Midsummer Night's Dream; Disney gave us a plethora of fairy godmothers, as well as a jealous Tinker Bell, in the adaptation of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, and many readers talk about wanting a fairy tale element in their romance reading.
In Beyond the Highland Mist, Karen Marie Moning introduced faeries, characters who are now on their third novel series, as the Highlander romance series begat the Fever urban fantasy series, which now spins off into Iced and its upcoming sequels. Romance mainstays Barbara Samuel, Mary Jo Putney, Jo Beverley and Karen Harbaugh teamed up for the memorable Fairy Magic anthology some years ago, and even historical favorite Edith Layton treated her readers to a fairy hero in Bride Enchanted. Susan Krinard's Fane series starts off in Regency times with the forest fairy hero who's anything but flighty in The Forest Lord. Fairies get up to mischief and down to business in multiple urban fantasy series, both adult and YA, with varying levels of romance, and the trend shows no sign of stopping.
What's the appeal? There's the glamour, both literally and figuratively. They can bend perceptions in their favor, and they look good doing it. They can deliver a human's fondest desires, but they're going to want something back. They can be clever, those fairies, bound by truth but creative in how they tell it.
For those who like a romance to sweep them away to another world, the faerie realm provides a place like no other. The very rules of existence are going to vary from the world our hero or heroine has known, and if their otherworldly love's kith and kin don't take kindly to a mortal lover, that's one big conflict to overcome. A true hero or heroine, though, is more than up to the challenge.
Fairies play into many classic romance tropes. Secret baby? Try changelings, either a fairy child swapped for a human or the other way around. Bride stealing—or groom stealing, to keep things equal—could also work, coercing or abducting a mortal mate who may or may not decide to stay. Could the right author turn that around and have a human entrap a fairy spouse? Enchantments, curses only true love can break, power struggles between opposing fairy courts provide that otherworldly something extra to romance plots both classic and new.
Maybe that's exactly what the fairies intended, hooking us early with age-old folk tales early on. Well played, fairies. Well played.

There has been a lot of pent-up demand for the H1N1 vaccine. But getting it has been a slow, frustrating process for many people these past few weeks. Far less vaccine is available than the 40 to 45 million doses that public health experts had predicted by this point.
But federal and local officials say the gap between supply and demand is starting to narrow.
"As of today there are 24.8 million doses of the H1N1 vaccine that are available," said Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That's a jump of 1.6 million doses since Wednesday, and 10 million more doses than a week ago.
Schuchat, who spoke during a CDC conference call with reporters, said she understands that it's hard to find vaccine in a lot of places. But she said she hopes that will change soon.
"Although we aren't where we want to be with vaccine availability, we are seeing forward progress with more and more doses becoming available regularly," said Schuchat.
The Minnesota Department of Health estimates that the state has received at least 200,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine. Most people only need one dose. Kids under the age of 10 need two doses.
By Friday, another 100,000 doses are expected to arrive in the state. At that point there would be enough vaccine to immunize almost half of the 718,000 people in the state's highest priority groups.
The high-risk groups include:
- * Young children age 6 months to 4 years old;
- * Kids age 5-18 with health conditions such as asthma, diabetes or cancer;
- * Pregnant women;
- * Health care providers and EMS personnel who provide direct patient care;
- * Parents and primary care providers of infants under 6 months of age.
The Health Department is not publicizing the locations that receive vaccine, because the agency can't meet patient demand for the vaccine at this point. Officials want to target the distribution so that the doses go to the people who can benefit the most, and that has made finding vaccine a very frustrating process for many Minnesotans.
On Monday, Park Nicollet Health Services based in St. Louis Park was overwhelmed with callers who heard that the health care provider had the vaccine.
The clinic system received 120,000 calls in just a few hours. That jammed their phone system, and other patients with other medical issues were not able to get through to the provider.
Health Department epidemiologist Kris Ehresmann said Park Nicollet publicized its vaccine supply on its Web site, which got the word out to too many patients.
"What we've learned -- and I think it will be a lesson to other clinics -- is that is too public of a way to do things," said Ehresmann. "What ended up happening is one of the patients saw that on the web, started e-mailing people that they knew, who e-mailed more people that they knew, and it really just created this sort of perfect storm of pent-up demand."
Minnesota's vaccine campaign is different from campaigns in some other states. The Health Department says Minnesota is following vaccination guidelines that have been issued by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
That group came up with the recommendations for the priority groups, but some other states ignored those guidelines and set up school-based vaccination clinics targeting older children who are not in a top priority group.
Health officials say they have heard most counties in the state do plan to provide vaccine in school-based clinics. The clinics will not be scheduled until the second week of November at the earliest.
People who are not in a priority group might be able to get vaccinated by Thanksgiving.
On Wednesday, the Health Department confirmed two more deaths in the state from H1N1 influenza.
One was an older adult from south central Minnesota with no underlying health conditions. The other was an adolescent from the Twin Cities who did have underlying health problem.
There have now been 12 deaths in Minnesota related to H1N1 flu since April.

One of my New Year's resolutions was to support any instance of tennis in pop culture. Who knew it would be so easy?
Martina Navratilova did a guest spot on IFC's breakout show Portlandia, where she played herself as a disgruntled customer of a feminist bookstore in Portland. When she leaves a negative review of the store on Yelp, Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen, in all their wigged-out, granola fashion glory, track her down at a bar. Who knew Navratilova loved tequila?
You can watch the full clip here. Navritilova's deadpan delivery is perfect for the show.
That Navritilova found her way onto the set of Portlandia isn't a complete shock. Little-known fact: Brownstein is an avid tennis fan. She played varsity tennis in high school in Redmond, Wash., and was one half of the school's doubles team that went undefeated but then lost in the state championships, where Brownstein apparently did her best impression of another tennis legend. "I pulled a real McEnroe," she said.
Not surprisingly, it sounds like Navratilova was a hit on set (does the woman fail at anything?). Before the Season 3 premiere, Brownstein singled out Navratilova as one of their favorite guest stars.
All the actors have been amazing, but it's just so surreal to work with basically a legend and literally one of the greatest tennis players of all time. She's just in the highest echelon of that sporting role and I think it's because she wasn't an actor or comedian or a musician, it just lends itself to this kind of surreality and everyone was a little bit awestruck and star struck, so I'll just say her.(h/t to @jon_wertheim)

Student Absences
As a service to faculty and students, our office will send absence notifications to the respective faculty member(s) should a student absence be longer than five days. This service only will be utilized when an absence is for a family/student medical issue, death of a family member, military leave, or a New Mexico Tech-sponsored activity. However, our office may assist in verifying absences that are five days or less on a case-by-case basis, at the request of a faculty member, and we will encourage the student to speak directly with his or her professor. This absence notification process is only meant as a notification, and is not intended to excuse the absence itself, which is entirely up to the respective faculty member teaching the class.
Specifically, here is the process: Upon receipt of a notification of the absence of a student, the Dean of Students Office will send an email to the professors on record notifying them of the absence. All students, regardless of length of absence, will be instructed to inform their professors about missing classes. You can find notification of absences at __________________________________.
Notification of the Death of a Student
There is nothing more difficult than the loss of one of our students. It is a heartbreaking event for family and friends of the student, and for the entire New Mexico Tech community of faculty, staff and fellow students. In dealing with the death of a student, the University faces the challenges of coping with the many ramifications of such a loss. Our most important responsibility is to contact the student's family and to do our best to attend to their needs.
The Dean of Students Office serves as the primary contact office following the loss of a student. We contact the family and serve as a University liaison for them. We also notify the student's faculty instructors and all appropriate New Mexico Tech offices responsible for processing and closing his or her records.
Please contact me personally, should you know that a student has passed away, at 575-835-5880.

In this hot scene from a current semester our experienced fatty joins a couple of eager nubiles for one of the most explicit threesome lessons weve ever witnessed. She works the cock together with her sexy student guiding her sucking efforts and licking her clit while she takes it in the ass, then showcases some unbelievable cockriding skills and gets down on her knees to share a cumshot with this greedy blonde...
A visiting sex professor is in town and this stylish mature woman has her own methods for teaching couples threesome sex. A deepthroat blowjob is the most important piece to start it all and when they finally get to hard anal the older dame is the first one to take cock in the ass showing her student how it's done before this blonde follows with some nasty assriding and shares a big load of spunk with her cum-greedy teacher.
Threesome sex can take a lifetime to master and that's why newlyweds turn to mature women for help in this area. This couple is in for some hardcore practice and their blonde teacher doesn't miss such a chance to have some cock too. She has the girl warm it up for her ass with a blowjob, then follows with some nasty buttfucking and a wild pussy ride as her sexy student settles to lick her horny nipples.
The time has come for a midterm exam in Mature Lessons Sex School and one of our best teachers holds the first threesome test for this young couple. She starts with sucking guys dick to get him ready for action and then watches closely as his girlfriend gives him a blowjob of her own. The guy then takes over and fucks his chubby mature teacher so well that she gives him an A+ right away...
Don't believe these blonde sluts when they say they just need to practice cocksucking because these sinful bitches just plain want a hard meaty pole shoved up their throats! Mouth to ass to mouth" - that was a hell of a lesson plan and them slutty hoes stuck to it adding some pussy-fucking to the mix for more pleasure and getting their brains fucked out from both the front entrance and from the back door.
Sharing is the first thing this mature sex-instructor teaches her students and this teeny learned the lesson really fast. She didn't spend much time on sucking her boyfriend's cock and let the woman have some too before getting on her four for a mighty doggystyle cram. Two sluts took turns in sucking dick and getting their cunts pumped until the guy was ready to cum and they were ready to share his hot semen.
A newly married couple in need of some sex tutoring turned to this experienced blonde slut for advice and some extensive hardcore training. There was no way this sinful bitch would miss on such a great opportunity to have a good fuck and she enjoyed some of the nastiest cockriding and doggystyle action in her life while teaching her students these awesome sexual positions.
Who can suck better than these two bitches? I think that no one in the world can manage to do that! The way these experienced whores play with his big dick is sure to impress you, because they do it as if they devoted all their life to this art. So, look at how happy a man can be if his member is in reliable hands.
Being a sex teacher does give you certain privileges in bed like in this case when mature redhead joins a couple of her younger students and claims her right to ride the cock first. Luckily the guy not only has enough firepower to handle two fuck-starved pussies, but leaves some for the females tight asses cramming them both with great power and passion.
This mature redhead knows that the best way to teach her teen student cock-riding is a personal example. She had the girl sit on a sofas back and licked her lovely pink pussy while riding her another students big cock. She then demonstrated some anal cock riding and finally let the young girl show what she has learned holding her gently and caressing her tits throughout the process.
This guy wants to forget about everything in the world this evening, so he asks these experienced milfs to relieve his pastime. The sluts seem not to be against that and do their best to supply that huge cock with the best feelings. And the result really surpasses all expectations because this fucker could not even imagine what a nice suck he would get.
Victoria and Angela are up for making their friend Artem very happy. They have joined him on the bed and immediately started doing naughty things, such as removing his pants and fervently sucking on his excited member. Then the two sluts removed their clothes and unveiled some great breasts which were really appreciated by Artem. Straight away, he made good use of his staff!
In this scene our experienced mature redhead joins a newly married couple for a sweaty threesome sex lesson. After some double-team sucking shes the first one to get on top of the guy with the younger chick following her lead and riding dick before he takes over. He wants to nail some ass and with two great ones to choose from he makes no picks drilling both until his sluts are ready to share a cumshot.

Brent Cotta admitted in court Thursday he strangled Cassie Leigh Cotta, 24, at their home in Fort Smith on Dec. 30. Cassie Cotta's body was later found in a rural area in Van Buren.
Brent Cotta was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the crime. He'd been set to go to trial Aug. 23.
The Southwest Times Record reported Cotta apologized to Cassie Cotta's sister and mother on Thursday. He said there were no words to describe the sorrow and shame he felt.
Cotta's mother reported her missing Dec. 31. Authorities said Brent Cotta joined the search party looking for her before eventually leading police to her body.

Last night (October 24), Axl Rose made a very rare TV appearance, giving an even more rare interview, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Not only was it the Guns N' Roses' frontman's first TV interview in two decades, but he showed up right on time – something he doesn't often do (like, for example, at last weekend's Bridge School Benefit). Host Kimmel seemed as surprised as anyone, flat-out asking Axl why he finally agreed to the interview.
Of course, fans know that it likely has something to do with Guns N' Roses' upcoming 12-show residency in Vegas, which kicks off Halloween and runs through November 24th at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Axl was in high spirits and joked around with Kimmel more and more as the interview went on. Watch below, in three parts.
Among the info gleaned from the interview: Axl loves Halloween, and his favorite personal costume was an ear of corn (yes, really). Notably, he has a Halloween tree in his house, which is just like a Christmas tree except for Halloween. He uses it to taunt trick-or-treaters. "That's the most evil thing I've ever done," Rose joked. "I say to them [the kids], 'You mean you don't have a Halloween tree?'"
Axl also sang the praises of Neil Young, whom he met for the first time at this past weekend's Bridge School Benefit, and Elton John's songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, whom he called his favorite lyricist of all-time.

(Fwiw, I saw the continuity aspects of those books as a bonus when I recommended them; first and foremost, I think the stories are great, and if he liked Destiny, then I figured he would also like the wide-sweeping narrative of DRGIII's books. But yes, if he's not a Niner, probably not worth the time to him.) Let us know what he thinks of whatever you end up giving him!

Does exercise really help your skin and acne?
– Margo*
Exercise has many benefits, like feeling good about yourself, being in top shape, looking good, and being mentally sharp.
It's not clear whether exercise helps improve acne, but it definitely doesn't hurt. The only exception may be the athlete who wears equipment such as protective pads and chin straps on helmets that rub against the skin and may make acne worse in those areas. But fear not, your run-of-the-mill favorite gym T-shirts won't cause any such problems.
Whether you have a lot of acne or just the occasional zit, exercise may actually help because it increases blood flow, unclogs pores through sweating, and reduces stress, a major acne trigger.
The bottom line is that the benefits of exercising, whether they include acne reduction or not, outweigh the benefits of sitting around on the couch. Who cares if you have great skin and a good complexion if you aren't taking care of the rest of your body?

BERLIN- A pair of Worcester County standout football players helped the Bayside South upset the Bayside North, 34-28, last week in the annual Eastern Shore Senior All-Star game.
The Bayside South entered the annual All-Star contest as the decided underdog to the Bayside North, which boasted the top three teams in the conference overall this year. However, further evidence of why the game is played on the field and not on paper was provided when the South upset the North thanks to a big contribution from two local players.
Decatur quarterback Andrew Brickey led the Bayside South offense, completing of nine of 21 pass attempts for 204 yards. Brickey also threw for one touchdown and ran for another. Bayside South's dominant rushing attack was led by Snow Hill senior Deron Ames, who ran for 81 yards on 21 carries including a touchdown.

Let's go knicks!!!!! Kg needs to stop being a sore loser!
THAT NYC swagger baby that NYC swagger!!!
THat that Garnet you ****ing piece of ****!
Chocking Billy Walker...**** you Gaynett!
Billy was about to bust his ass!
Garnett can thank Baron Davis for stepping in, man Billy was about to kill him, had that riot look on his face.
Garnett is a dirty SOB and a sour loser..... Also damn that was a freak accident with shumpert but 2 weeks is ok that looked like a 10 week injury the way he was limping.
Also TD and shumpert took way to many shots. They weren't bad shots but if they're not going down stop it.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day man! Enjoy the day with your families everybody!!! Off to a great start with this great win!!!!!!!!
Hi guys, I'm posting now cos I passed out for a few minutes there, too intense for me.
Unbelievable game to open the season. Knicks with a 17 point lead, Celts go on a 22-2 run and we come back to win!
I thought about 30 minutes of our defense was reasonable to good, but that 3rd quarter was awful.
Suck it Boston, suck it Garnett, suck it from the bench Pierce.
Sucks to hear about Shump Shump. But I think we'll be OK without him - it'll give him some time to watch some film and work on his shot selection while he's out.
Knicks won today but am I the only one who is still not very happy with how this team is being put together? Tyson Chandler, our pricey off-season acquisition, grabbed himself a grand total of THREE rebounds today. We were outrebounded by TEN today, and Rondo continues to make us into his bitch every single time we play him.
The way we played today we almost lost to a Paul Pierce-less Celdicks team. There's no way we would beat Miami or Dallas playing the way we did today. We had a great first half but man we lost it in the third quarter, and as a fan you have to ask the question "How many more times does this team have to come out flat in the 3rd quarter for our coach to get axed and something to happen?"
Hopefully this improves as the season goes on. As of right now, looks like the same old Knicks team that got swept in the postseason last year.
Gotta love the clutchness of this team, we just spanked these fools on national television. Feels good to finally beat these guys, you can tell our team just gained more confidence off of this win.
I swear it looked season ending, so glad to hear it's only a couple weeks.
Also, I feel like the Knicks just won a playoff series. That's how intense that was.

Make an Upcycled Cardboard Leaf Garland for Autumn
October 30th, 2011 | by Julie Finn
As long as recycled cardstock or cardboard fits my color scheme (and painting counts!), I like to upcycle it into temporary holiday garlands to decorate those last bits of uncluttered surface in my house. Read on to see that my red Valentine heart garlands (made from Target photo processing envelopes) and my yellow and green autumn leaf garlands (made from Crayola boxes) are easy to make, and would look pretty great in your house, too

+ Kudos to truth on occupiers and tea party
Dear Editor:
Thank you for Rod Thomson's very accurate article pointing out the differences between the occupiers and the tea party. I consider myself a member of the tea party and attended some of the events. The occupiers do not want to take personal responsibility for their lives and want others to take care of them. What were their parents thinking when they raised them like that? Maybe they could get a job if they studied a major that is actually needed.
One area that all Americans can agree with is that the government needs to treat everyone on an equal playing ground, no more bailouts or crony capitalism. That makes everyone mad.
I find it very promising to have any in the media speak the truth as you did.
Jennifer McCann
+ Occupy and tea party differences backward
Dear Editor:
I agree with the headline to your "My View" opinion in your Oct. 13 Pelican Press, "Occupiers not like tea partyers." However, you have not included some of the major differences.
The Occupiers are not well financed, or not financed at all. The tea party was launched with, and still largely is financed, by the billionaire Koch brothers, whose lifetime goal, like their father's before them, has been the dismantling of FDR's New Deal. They want to eliminate Social Security and its later, citizens' helpmate, Medicare. Their main tools are the financial strangling of the government's income and the privatizing of both plans to for-profit enterprises. Look at the attacks on the Occupiers group and the goal is clear.
The tea partyers I have talked to are definitely not unified in this goal. However, the far right has, for decades, convinced the voting public to vote against its own best interests. Many of the tea partyers have a single objective. They are pro life, or they want their country back from people with dark skins, both African Americans and Latinos. They are angry, but most are not so angry they would carry automatic weapons to a political rally or carry placards equating President Obama with Hitler or calling him a Communist. Yet, tea party rallies, even in our nation's capital, have featured those actions and more. Contrary to your editorial, many of these people are unemployed, and they blame Obama as if there had been no president for the two terms preceding his election.
The Occupiers have no sugar daddies financing their movement. They are not bums, nor do they physically threaten anyone. I walked among the Occupiers here in Sarasota and observed people from all age groups, some well dressed and some not. They are mad at the banking, financial and insurance institutions that negotiated sweetheart bailouts with the Bush Administration, with no strings attached, such as making the firms lend money to the disappearing middle class. They carried signs, but they were calm and, as on-the-scene law enforcement officers stated, they were not unruly or disruptive. Some dressed like hippies, but they weren't.
They want America back to the point where the top 1% doesn't continue to get richer and richer, while the middle class is destroyed. Please don't tell us that those among the top 1% are the job creators. They have benefited from the Bush tax breaks for 12 years. Where are the jobs?
Art Ginsburg
+ What happened to just working hard?
Dear Editor:
I read Rod Thomson's article ("Occupiers not like tea partiers") with great pleasure. It was so to the point and accurate regarding what is happening today. Your facts and comments are right on.
I come from an old, hard-working family whose members always were able somehow to make a living and never too proud to take any honest job as long as it put food on the table.
Unlike the protesters today, the people who were rich in our time were considered heroes. They gave us the incentive to want to do the same, and we did not hate them for their success and wealth and what they were able to accomplish. We were taught to study and better plan our future, which never included partaking of other people's wealth.
I know that unemployment is high and some people do try, but it brings up an old memory from when I was a young boy in Pittsburgh. My dad was a very accomplished custom tailor and was suddenly out of a job in the 1940s. My mother told him that he was available for unemployment insurance and told him where to go to apply for it.
Of course, he put on his best suit, tie and polished shoes and went to the unemployment office. He returned a short time later and told my mother, "That's where all the local bums were," and he didn't belong there.
The next day, he went to town and came back with a job.
I am not implying that some of the people on unemployment are "bums," as my dad put it, but coming from my dad at the time, it was sort of a little lesson in life.
Again, thank you for a column well written.
Joe Fanelli
+ More questions about county arrogance
Dear Editor:
Reading the front-page story about Chris Brown's third lawsuit brought two thoughts to mind. First, what a coincidence, that Brown files suit against Sarasota County, wins then finds a county tax assessment egregiously out of sync with the rest of the community. Second, it makes a person wonder why a law-abiding citizen, especially one who supplies jobs and sends six-figure sales and real-estate tax checks to the county, should fear his local government.
The answer to the latter question is arrogance. It has been well documented how Sarasota County manifested its arrogance in allowing county employees to spend county tax dollars without supervision. The arrogance was then compounded when county whistleblowers were vilified. Now the county puts arrogance on display again with its presumptuous claims and assumptions on how the parking tax assessment will be applied. Oh, sorry, Chris Brown, you will be punished here.
To the former issue of coincidence: Here, in the explanation of the Sarasota County action, coincidence is the word to use when we can't see the levers and pulleys behind the government screen.

+ Occupy groups nothing like tea party
Dear Editor:
Thanks for your excellent "My View" column pointing out the differences between "occupiers" and the tea party.
Many in the media are trying to convince Americans that the two are related. I attended the first tea party in Sarasota April 15, 2009. The signs I saw reflected the goals of those who attended: Taxed Enough Already, Cut Spending, Give Me Liberty Not Debt, Smaller Government, Wake Up America and Follow the Constitution! These people were "patriots" who expressed love for the U.S. and a desire for fiscal responsibility. Many wore red, white and blue and carried American flags.
They were local people who were not bused in or paid to protest. There was no outside money or radical groups sponsoring their rally, and they picked up their trash and left the location cleaner than they found it.
The occupiers express a desire for larger government with handouts and express class warfare hatred. There was a sign on Wall Street that said: "Eat the Rich."
Unfortunately, our current president has fed the fires of class warfare. We need a new leader who will inspire, not divide, Americans. I believe that the tea party patriots will help elect such a leader in 2012.

Weather's Effect on Equine Influenza Transmission Studied
- May 5, 2012
- Topics:
Researchers from the Faculty of Veterinary Science at the University of Sydney, Australia, recently evaluated weather's effect on the transmission of equine influenza.
"We have demonstrated in non-laboratory conditions how air temperature, humidity and wind velocity influence the spread of influenza viruses. It puts us in a much better position to understand an actual outbreak of influenza in horse populations, under natural conditions," said Navneet Dhand, PhD, MACVSc, MVSc, BVSc&AH, GradCert, senior lecturer and principal investigator of the research project.
The research team analyzed data from the 2007 equine influenza outbreak in Australia in addition to data provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology for the same time period.
The researchers determined horses were more likely to get infected on days when relative humidity was low and less likely to get infected on days when the maximum daily air temperature was 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F).
"The results will be invaluable in modeling the spread of influenza viruses in the unique Australian environment and landscape," said Simon Firestone, the lead author of the paper and PhD candidate at the University of Sydney's Faculty of Veterinary Science.
Additionally, the team found that horses residing on premises downwind of nearby infected premises were more likely to become infected. They also noted the risk was higher on days when wind speeds were greater than 30 kilometers per hour (about 19 miles per hour), substantiating numerous anecdotal reports of the wind-borne spread of equine influenza.
"This gives an important indication of how weather conditions can affect the spread of the equine influenza virus and therefore allow us to better predict the outcome of a future incident of the virus in Australia," said Dhand.
Australia's equine influenza outbreak occurred in 2007 following a breach in the quarantine of infected imported horses. Nearly 70,000 horses on over 9000 premises in New South Wales and Queensland were infected at a cost of over $350 million. The disease was eradicated within five months, mainly due to the fast introduction of a complete ban on horses being moved.
"By having a better idea of how the disease spreads, our findings will help animal disease authorities reduce the cost of outbreak management as well as the social impacts of the outbreak," Dhand said.
The research was conducted by a team which also included:
- Michael Ward, BVSc (Hons 1), MSc, MPVM, PhD, FACVSc, professor and chair of veterinary public health from the University of Sydney;
- Jenny-Ann Toribio, BVSc (Hons), PhD, MANZCVS, MEd(Higher Education), associate professor, from the University of Sydney;
- Barbara Moloney, BVSc, MVS, MACVSc, technical specialist at the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries; and
- Naomi Cogger, PhD, lecturer in Veterinary Epidemiology at the new Zealand's Massey University Epicentre.
It was a part of a jointly funded project supported by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation's Horse research program, and the Animal Biosecurity Cooperative Research Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases.
The study, "The Influence of Meteorology on the Spread of Influenza: Survival Analysis of an Equine Influenza (A/H3N8) Outbreak," was published on April 21 on PloS One and can be viewed online.

SILVIO O. CONTE DIGESTIVE DISEASES RESEARCH CORE CENTERS RELEASE DATE: January 30, 2003 RFA: DK-03-013 National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) (
) LETTER OF INTENT RECEIPT DATE: June 11, 2003 APPLICATION RECEIPT DATE: July 11, 2003 THIS RFA CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION o Purpose of this RFA o Research Objectives o Mechanism(s) of Support o Funds Available o Eligible Institutions o Individuals Eligible to Become Principal Investigators o Special Requirements o Where to Send Inquiries o Letter of Intent o Submitting an Application o Peer Review Process o Review Criteria o Receipt and Review Schedule o Award Criteria o Required Federal Citations: PURPOSE OF THIS RFA The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) invites applications for Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Core Center grants. Three competing Digestive Diseases Core Center Grants (P30) will be awarded in fiscal year 2004. The Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (DDRCCs) are part of an integrated program of digestive diseases-related research support provided by the NIDDK. The Centers currently funded in this program have provided a focus for increasing collaboration and improving the cost-effectiveness of supported research among groups of successful investigators at institutions with an established, comprehensive digestive diseases research base. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES The objective of the Core Centers is to bring together investigators from relevant disciplines to enhance and extend the effectiveness of research related to digestive diseases and their complications. A Core Center must be an identifiable unit within a single university medical center or a consortium of cooperating institutions, including an affiliated university. The overall goal of the Core Center is to bring together clinical and basic science investigators in a manner that will enrich the effectiveness of digestive diseases research. An existing program of excellence in biomedical research in the area of digestive diseases and disorders is required. This research must be in the form of NIH funded research projects, program projects, or other peer- reviewed research that is already funded at the time of submission of a Center grant application. Close cooperation, communication, and collaboration among all involved personnel of all professional disciplines are the ultimate objectives. The Core Center must have a central focus of research investigation. The central focus must be a digestive disease, group of diseases or functional studies relating to digestive diseases; at least half of the research must relate to this central focus. Examples of a gastrointestinal disease-related central focus of research investigation include (but are not restricted to) inflammatory bowel disease, functional bowel disorders, pancreatic disease, liver disease, pediatric gastrointestinal disease, and AIDS in gastrointestinal disease. Examples of functional studies as the central focus include (but are not restricted to) gastrointestinal motility, gastrointestinal hormones, or gene therapy for digestive diseases. Applicants should consult with NIDDK staff concerning plans for the development of the Center and the organization of the application. Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers are based on the core concept. Three to six cores are usually included in a Center. Cores are defined as shared resources that enhance productivity or in other ways benefit a group of investigators working in a center to accomplish the stated goals of the Center. Examples of such resources include imaging resources, transgenic animal, and membrane preparation facilities. Centers are encouraged to include a clinical component. This clinical component can exist as a stand-alone component or as a part of another core such as the Administrative core. Besides leading to a better understanding of disease etiology and natural history of disease, clinical components might provide biostatistics support; enhance clinical study design; foster collaboration among researchers; aid in recruitment of subjects for clinical studies; support epidemiological studies in areas of digestive diseases; or provide modest funding for tissue, DNA, or serum storage. In addition, a clinical component may more effectively address NIH policies concerning issues of women, children, and ethnic minority population participation in clinical studies. Two other types of activities may also be supported with Center funding: a Pilot and Feasibility (P/F) program and an Enrichment program. The P/F program provides modest support for new initiatives or feasibility research studies. This program is directed at new investigators, at investigators established in other research disciplines with expertise that may be applied to digestive disease research, and, occasionally, at investigators already working in digestive diseases who wish to make a substantial change in the direction of their research. In addition, temporary salary support for one Named New Investigator in a specified area of research with a defined P/F study may be requested for up to 24 months. Subsequent individuals for this position will be named by the Center Director and approved by the Center's External Advisory Board and the NIDDK. The Core Center grant may include limited funds for program enrichment such as seminars, visiting scientists, consultants, and workshops. MECHANISM OF SUPPORT This RFA will use the NIH Core Center grant (P30) award mechanism. As an applicant you will be solely responsible for planning, directing, and executing the proposed project. This RFA is a one-time solicitation. The anticipated award date is June 1, 2004 for one center and September 1, 2004 for two centers. This RFA uses just-in-time concepts as well as the non-modular budgeting format. The receipt of three competing continuation applications is anticipated. These will compete with all other applications received in response to this RFA. FUNDS AVAILABLE The NIDDK intends to commit approximately $3.5 in FY 2004 to fund 3 new and/or competing continuation grants in response to this RFA. An applicant may request a project period of up to 5 years and a budget for direct costs of up to $750,000 per year. Although the financial plans of the IC(s) provide support for this program, awards pursuant to this RFA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the receipt of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. ELIGIBLE INSTITUTIONS You may submit an application if your institution has any of the following characteristics: o For-profit or non-profit organizations o Public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories o Units of State and local governments o Eligible agencies of the Federal government o Domestic Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. For the purpose of this RFA, the NIDDK will not support more than one DDRCC center grant (P30) in an applicant institution. More details on the DDRCC program are available in the SILVIO O. CONTE DIGESTIVE DISEASES RESEARCH CORE CENTER GUIDELINES available on the Internet at
or from the program director listed under INQUIRIES, below. INDIVIDUALS ELIGIBLE TO BECOME PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS Any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research is invited to work with their institution to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH programs. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS o The DDRCC Director, who is the Principal Investigator on the P30 application and Director of the Administrative Core, should be a scientist who can provide effective administrative and scientific leadership. The Director will be responsible for the organization and operation of the DDRCC and for communication with the NIDDK on scientific and operational matters. Center Directors are required, and their administrators strongly encouraged, to attend an annual meeting to be held at a location to be determined by the NIDDK. Funds for travel to this meeting should be included in the budget for the Administrative Core of the Center. o Applications for DDRCC grants must propose a theme for the Center that is relevant to digestive diseases research and supported by the research projects comprising the research base for the DDRCC. The research base grants must be summarized in accordance with the DDRCC guidelines found at
o At least 50 percent of the already funded research base in a new application must be supported by the NIDDK. In competing continuation applications the percent may be less than 50 percent due to, for example, a growing research base of investigators entering digestive diseases from other fields. The initial review group will determine the significance of the research base. o Scientific personnel and institutional resources capable of supporting the research base must be available. In addition, the institution and pertinent departments must show a strong commitment to the Center's support. Such commitment may be provided as dedicated space, staff recruitment, salary support for investigators, dedicated equipment, or other financial support for the proposed Center. o Each core unit proposed for funding under the DDRCC must be utilized by a minimum of three federally funded research projects. A detailed description of each core unit proposed as part of the Center must be provided, with detailed budget and budget justification. A core director must be named for each core proposed. The description of each core unit proposed should include a rationale, indicating how it will support the research effort in a cost-effective manner. Facilities must be available for the primary needs of the DDRCC Program because funds for new construction are not available. o Promoting interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists working within a Center is a major goal of the DDRCC Program. Each Center application should describe how continuing and new interactions will be fostered and encouraged by the DDRCC. o Another goal of the DDRCC is to attract scientists to the field of digestive diseases research. Therefore, both a Pilot and Feasibility (PF) program as well as an Enrichment Program are available within the DDRCC program.

If an application is received after that date, it will be returned to the applicant without review. The Center for Scientific Review (CSR) will not accept any application in response to this RFA that is essentially the same as one currently pending initial review, unless the applicant withdraws the pending application. The CSR will not accept any application that is essentially the same as one already reviewed. This does not preclude the submission of substantial revisions of applications already reviewed, but such applications must include an Introduction addressing the previous critique. PEER REVIEW PROCESS Upon receipt, applications will be reviewed for completeness by the CSR and for responsiveness to the RFA by the NIDDK. Incomplete and/or non- responsive applications will be returned to the applicant without further consideration. Applications that are complete and responsive to the RFA will be evaluated for scientific and technical merit by an appropriate peer review group convened by the NIDDK in accordance with the review criteria stated below. No site visits are planned in the review of these applications; all information required for evaluation must be contained in the application. As part of the initial merit review, all applications will: o Receive a written critique o Undergo a process in which all applications will be discussed and assigned a priority score o Receive a second level review by the NIDDK National Advisory Council or Board. REVIEW CRITERIA All applications responding to this RFA will be evaluated according to the review criteria as outlined in the SILVIO O. CONTE DIGESTIVE DISEASES RESEARCH CORE CENTER GUIDELINES available on the Internet at
or from the program director listed under INQUIRIES, above. As part of the initial scientific review, which will result in an overall priority score for the P30 application, reviewers will rate each individual research core and, if requested, the clinical component. as well as the P/F program. The evaluation of the Enrichment program will be reflected in the score for the Administrative Core. The scores for each of these will appear in the summary statement. The review group will assign a descriptor, rather than a score, for the research base, the P/F program, and the Center Director. Review Criteria The most important component of a DDRCC is an ongoing, strong base of digestive disease-related research. Specific review criteria for Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers are: o the scientific excellence of the Center's research base (its strengths, its breadth and depth) as well as the relevance and interrelation of these separately funded research projects to the central theme(s) or focus of the Center and the likelihood for meaningful collaborations among Center investigators. The existence of a base of established, independently supported biomedical research of high quality is a prerequisite for the establishment of a Digestive Diseases Research Core Center and is the most important component of the review. The results of previous peer reviews of its content will weigh heavily in the assessment of the application's overall strength. o the qualifications, experience, and commitment of the Center investigators responsible for the individual research projects, and their willingness to interrelate with each other and contribute to the overall objectives of the Digestive Diseases Core Center. o the appropriateness and relevance of the proposed Cores and their modes of operation (such as how usage will be prioritized), facilities, and potential for contribution to ongoing research. Competing continuation applications must document the use, utility, quality control, and cost effectiveness of each Core requested to continue as part of the Center. Progress will be judged in part by the list of publications arising from the cores. At least two users are required to establish a core. However, a greater number of users will be considered to be more cost effective. o for all applications, four P/F studies should be submitted for evaluation as part of the review of the P/F program. In general for new applications, the proposed P/F projects will be examined to assess the eligibility of the P/F applicant and the adequacy of the selection process by which the individual studies were selected. Applicants should refer to the Administrative Guidelines for DDRCCs for specific details regarding the P/F program and its review by the IRG. o the Named New Investigator, if requested, will be considered separately. o the scientific and administrative leadership abilities of the proposed Center Director and Associate Director and their commitment and ability to devote adequate time to the effective management of the program. o the administrative organization proposed for the following: (a) Coordination of ongoing research between the separately funded projects and the Center, including mechanisms for internal monitoring; (b) Establishment and maintenance of internal communication and cooperation among the Center investigators; (c) Mechanism for selecting and replacing professional or technical personnel within the Core Center; (d) Mechanism for reviewing the use of and administering funds for the P/F program; (e) Management capabilities that include fiscal administration, procurement, property and personnel management, planning, budgeting, and other appropriate capabilities; o The institutional commitment to the program, including lines of accountability regarding management of the Center grant and the institution's contribution to the management capabilities of the Center; o The academic environment and resources in which the activities will be conducted, including the availability of space, equipment, facilities, and the potential for interaction with scientists from other departments and institutions; o Efficient and effective use and/or planned use of the limited enrichment funds, including the contribution of these activities in enhancing the objectives of the Center; o The appropriateness of the budgets for the proposed and approved work to be done in Core facilities, for P/F studies (these are restricted funds and are capped at $150,000), and for enrichment in relation to the total Center program. Total requested Direct Costs are limited to $750,000 (including the P/F program). For competing continuation applications, total requested Direct Costs should not exceed the $750,000 cap. In addition to the criteria stated above, in accordance with NIH policy, all applications will be reviewed with respect to the following: o The adequacy of plans to include children, both genders, minorities, and their subgroups, as appropriate for the scientific goals of the research. Plans for the recruitment and retention of subjects will also be evaluated. o The reasonableness of the proposed budget size and duration in relation to the proposed DDRCC. RECEIPT AND REVIEW SCHEDULE Letter of Intent Receipt Date: June 11, 2003 Application Receipt Date: July 11, 2003 Peer Review Date: November 2004 Council Review: January 2004 Earliest Anticipated Start Date: June 2004 AWARD CRITERIA Award criteria that will be used to make award decisions include: o scientific merit (as determined by peer review) o relevance to research areas of high programmatic interest to the Division of Digestive Diseases, NIDDK and research areas targeted by Congress; o availability of funds o geographic distribution REQUIRED FEDERAL CITATIONS MONITORING PLAN AND DATA SAFETY AND MONITORING BOARD: Research components involving Phase I and II clinical trials must include provisions for assessment of patient eligibility and status, rigorous data management, quality assurance, and auditing procedures. In addition, it is NIH policy that all clinical trials require data and safety monitoring, with the method and degree of monitoring being commensurate with the risks (NIH Policy for Data Safety and Monitoring, NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, June 12, 1998). INCLUSION OF WOMEN AND MINORITIES IN CLINICAL RESEARCH: It is the policy of the NIH that women and members of minority groups and their sub-populations must be included in all NIH-sponsored clinical research projects unless a clear and compelling justification is provided indicating that inclusion is inappropriate with respect to the health of the subjects or the purpose of the research. This policy results from the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 (Section 492B of Public Law 103-43). All investigators proposing clinical research should read the AMENDMENT "NIH Guidelines for Inclusion of Women and Minorities as Subjects in Clinical Research - Amended, October, 2001," published in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts on October 9, 2001 (
); a complete copy of the updated Guidelines are available at
https://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/women_min/guidelines_amended_10_ 2001.htm
. The amended policy incorporates: the use of an NIH definition of clinical research; updated racial and ethnic categories in compliance with the new OMB standards; clarification of language governing NIH- defined Phase III clinical trials consistent with the new PHS Form 398; and updated roles and responsibilities of NIH staff and the extramural community. The policy continues to require for all NIH-defined Phase III clinical trials that: a) all applications or proposals and/or protocols must provide a description of plans to conduct analyses, as appropriate, to address differences by sex/gender and/or racial/ethnic groups, including subgroups if applicable; and b) investigators must report annual accrual and progress in conducting analyses, as appropriate, by sex/gender and/or racial/ethnic group differences. INCLUSION OF CHILDREN AS PARTICIPANTS IN RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTS: The NIH maintains a policy that children (i.e., individuals under the age of 21) must be included in all human subjects research, conducted or supported by the NIH, unless there are scientific and ethical reasons not to include them. This policy applies to all initial (Type 1) applications submitted for receipt dates after October 1, 1998. All investigators proposing research involving human subjects should read the "NIH Policy and Guidelines" on the inclusion of children as participants in research involving human subjects that is available at
. REQUIRED EDUCATION ON THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN SUBJECT PARTICIPANTS: NIH policy requires education on the protection of human subject participants for all investigators submitting NIH proposals for research involving human subjects. You will find this policy announcement in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts Announcement, dated June 5, 2000, at
. HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS (hESC): Criteria for federal funding of research on hESCs can be found at
and at
. Only research using hESC lines that are registered in the Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry will be eligible for federal funding (see
). It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide the official NIH identifier(s) for the hESC line(s) to be used in the proposed research. Applications that do not provide this information will be returned without review. Because P30 funds do not directly support research projects, the issues of minority/gender representation, inclusion of children as participants in research involving human subjects, required education on the protection of human subject participants, and the use of human embryonic stem cells will have been addressed at the individual project level (i.e., R01 level). However, the application must specifically address these issues for any P/F projects or cores as appropriate. PUBLIC ACCESS TO RESEARCH DATA THROUGH THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-110 has been revised to provide public access to research data through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) under some circumstances. Data that are (1) first produced in a project that is supported in whole or in part with Federal funds and (2) cited publicly and officially by a Federal agency in support of an action that has the force and effect of law (i.e., a regulation) may be accessed through FOIA. It is important for applicants to understand the basic scope of this amendment. NIH has provided guidance at
. Applicants may wish to place data collected under this RFA in a public archive, which can provide protections for the data and manage the distribution for an indefinite period of time. If so, the application should include a description of the archiving plan in the study design and include information about this in the budget justification section of the application. In addition, applicants should think about how to structure informed consent statements and other human subjects procedures given the potential for wider use of data collected under this award. URLs IN NIH GRANT APPLICATIONS OR APPENDICES: All applications and proposals for NIH funding must be self-contained within specified page limitations. Unless otherwise specified in an NIH solicitation, Internet addresses (URLs) should not be used to provide information necessary to the review because reviewers are under no obligation to view the Internet sites. Furthermore, we caution reviewers that their anonymity may be compromised when they directly access an Internet site. HEALTHY PEOPLE 2010: The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the health promotion and disease prevention objectives of "Healthy People 2010," a PHS-led national activity for setting priority areas. This RFA is related to one or more of the priority areas. Potential applicants may obtain a copy of "Healthy People 2010" at
. AUTHORITY AND REGULATIONS: This program is described in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance No. 93.848, and is not subject to the intergovernmental review requirements of Executive Order 12372 or Health Systems Agency review. Awards are made under authorization of Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and administered under NIH grants policies described at
and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR 52 and 45 CFR Parts 74 and 92. The PHS strongly encourages all grant recipients to provide a smoke- free workplace and discourage the use of all tobacco products. In addition, Public Law 103-227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994, prohibits smoking in certain facilities (or in some cases, any portion of a facility) in which regular or routine education, library, day care, health care, or early childhood development services are provided to children. This is consistent with the PHS mission to protect and advance the physical and mental health of the American people.
