TravelPod Member ReviewsResidence Inn by Marriott Boston Harbor on Tudor Wharf
A well planned, decorated and staffed hotel. The room is welcoming, plenty of space and provides all a weary traveller requires. Kitchenette well stocked for snacks and coffee. Restaurant food well prepared and very tasty. Breakfast more than enough choice to satisfy morning requirements. A 5 out of 5.

Historical Traveler Reviews Residence Inn by Marriott Boston Harbor on Tudor Wharf
Good at some things, not so good at others
There are many positives about this hotel.
A) It's location is GREAT. Well within walking distance to many areas of Boston that are overlooked but shouldn't be. (If you're in the area, make sure you visit the Warren Tavern in Charlestown - about a 2 block walk from the hotel. It's a great local bar/restaurant with so much character and terrific food. Also, across the river is The Fours, a sports bar/restaurant, again which lots of character and good food.)
B) The breakfast can't be beat - lots to eat and good, too.
C) The rooms are decent-size.
D) The staff is VERY accommodating.
E) The kitchen was well equipped and the maid even ran the dishwasher each time she cleaned the room, although we only had used coffee cups and glasses.
Unfortunately, there are many drawbacks to this hotel.
A) The walls are EXTREMELY thin. We could hear conversations and, of course, television sets in the room next to ours - to the point where we had to keep the A/C running constantly to drown out the noise.
B) The tubs have no mats, so watch yourself. Our tub seemed to have the rough strips worn away (although the hotel isn't that old). I took a step into the tub and slipped immediately, landing hard outside of the tub. Be careful.
C) The bed was very lumpy and the sheets were thin.
D) There aren't that many towels and/or washcloths. I'm sure they would have provided more, if asked, but 2 to a room which holds up to 4 people isn't enough.
Watch taking the water taxi. Although convenient and fun, cost from the airport is $15 per person. Daily, from the hotel to town, is $20 per person. As a comparison, a taxi ride from the hotel to Fenway Park is $12. Put on your shoes and walk as much as you can. I read now about the ferry but that was never mentioned/offered when asking at the front desk about the water taxi.
It's debatable whether we would stay here again. Given the choice, we may stay elsewhere. If necessary, though, we would return.
Did not live up to reviews
We did an East Coast college tour and Boston was our last stop. This was the most expensive and the least pleasant of the hotels we stayed in (DC to Boston). Water view was over a parking lot, not really a true water view. Linens and furniture were very low end. Location was good and people were nice however. Parking is an extra charge; other Residence Inns are free. We were disappointed.
WOW, great new addition to Boston!
This hotel is such a special addition to Boston! Great views from most of the rooms and every room is actually a suite with kitchen. The free breakfast and internet access is nice however the service level is exeptional for this type of limited service hotel.
It is a Residence Inn however it has a restaurant/cafe, little bar in the lobby and room service. I usually like to stay at full-service hotels....Marriott, Hilton, Wyndham, this Residence Inn is an unexpected treat. In a little historic neighborhood close to all the tourist sights and some great restaurants out the back door, Olives, Meze, Warren Tavern etc.
Great place!
Great hotel! EXCELLENT location - really a short walk to North Station on the Green line, or for ~ 1.50, take a water taxi near the Constitution to the Long Wharf/Aquarium - an absolutely beautiful ride! There is a small but pretty park nearby, and actually lots of restaurants within walking distance as well. It's very quiet, about a 2 min walk to the USS Constitution, and about 10 minute walk to the North End. Rooms were neat and clean, I agree with all other reviewers that the staff were extremely helpful and professional. You can catch a water taxi from Logan for $15 in nice weather - and call a shuttle/airport transport company (find one in the yellow pages) - my husband and I paid $10 a person. MUCH prefer this location to the Sheraton at the Pru or the Westin Copley Plaza....
One of our Favorites
My wife , son and I visit and stay in Boston frequently and this is definitely one of our favorites. The staff is always friendly and helpful , the rooms neat and clean , the beds comfortable. They have recently added a restaurant which we think is great addition as there are limited casual dining options close by. Pay lot and Valet service is available with only limited free parking.
It's worth a few extra dollars for the water view room but there's also a large dock with wooden benches for relaxing and taking in the view. For a one bedroom ,the rooms ending in 24 ie: 224,324 etc.are larger end corner units offering not only a water view but windows on two sides.
The water taxi is seasonal but definitely inexpensive and convenient for a run to the airport or Aquarium with Fanueil Hall and Quincy Market not far from the Aquarium. Many trolley tours also run from the Aquarium Wharf.The Fleet Center is about a 10 minute walk.
All in all for us a great hotel and location.
A great hotel!!!
We stayed at this hotel in October 04 and it was FABULOUS! I have nothing but great comments to make about this place. Contrary to another review, we had 3 children, ages 6, 9, and 12 and the location was perfect. A short walk to almost everything or even better, take the water ferry (something like $2.00 per person) over to Long Wharf and walk from there. Short walk or quick cab ride to North train station where you can get to anywhere from!!! The breakfast buffet was outstanding and a great way to fill up 3 boys! The room was great. The view was incredible. We looked out onto the Old North Church steeple from our bed every night. We stayed there 7 nights and had a great experience. The rooms were quiet, temperature control was great. Pool was fine...as I said, nothing but great things from us! Would definitely stay there again. Also, the staff was so so helpful and friendly. Two thumbs up!
Top Notch
An absolute MUST!!!! This hotel is fabulous. You will not find a friendlier staff in a 5 star/diamond hotel. I travel one week out of the month, and Marriott can be proud of this property. The service is remarkable. Always on hand and eager to answer and advise directions, restaurants, "must sees" and how to get there for the least amount of money. The hotel is only a 7 minutes walk to the subway. If you get a room with a view, you get a room with a VIEW, the inner harbor is beautiful. The security is out of this world. You have to have a room key to access the elevator. Be sure you ask for a key for each person in your room. The complimentary breakfast is nice. The only negative is the hotel doesn't offer airport shuttle, and cabs are HIGH!!! You can take the water taxi from the airport to the hotel, about $10 per person. I've been to NY, LA, San Fran, DC.....Boston has the highest cab fares of any of those cities. Before I knew the subway was only a 7 minute walk, I took a cab, it was $7....a dollar a minute. Take the bus or subway when at all possible. I will never stay anywhere else when visiting Boston.
Enjoyable Location
We just returned from Boston and enjoyed our stay at this Residence Inn. We were on vacation with our two college age children and our younger son and this hotel met our requirements for two double beds with a living/kitchen area and location (near subway, Freedom Trail, USS Constitution,etc.). Its in a nice area of Charles Town and a short walk across the Charles Town bridge to North Station subway station. Its on the water, has several parks nearby, easy access to Logan (water taxi is provides a nice skyline view of Boston), a good breakfast bar (hot/cold) and an evening "snack" Monday - Thursday is included, and hotel staff is friendly and helpful. The only negative was that we were expecting two split rooms with double bed and full bath (with two college age "kids" that would have been great) but didn't know we needed to specify this in our reservation. The staff tried to accomodate us but had non of these rooms available (I'm not sure how many of these they do have). Anyway, we would recommend this for family or business just make sure you specify the room you expect.
Incredible staff for such a limited property
We reserved a two bedroom suite at this facility for the amount of space that was provided along with the price. We were not staying but one night and although it is off the beaten path felt we could manage it. Overview: The location is not one for families wanting to explore Boston and its sites especially with children. The Hotel staff is INCREDIBLE. They try so hard to please, they all should be given conceirge jobs at the Four Seasons. The front desk staff is efficient, helpful, they have all the restaurant guides and are careful not to recommend something that they have not have experienced themselves. The suites are very clean but meager and small. Equipped but for a facility that is relatively new, their linens and blankets were very worn. Any request (for additional towels) was dealt with quickly and in good fashion. The indoor pool and hot tub are small but at least they exist.
The gym is unremarkable. Security (visable) seemed to be having to put your room key into the elevator in order to access a floor. BEST THINGS: Hotel check in, guest services, breakfast buffet staff, awesome, helpful people. The breakfast buffet (make your own waffles, eggs, sausages, potaoes, cereal, yogurt, cakes, juices, coffee etc) one of the best I have seen in this type of setting. Really a plus! NOT SO NICE THINGS: Rooms have very hollow doors. In a two bedroom suite you hear everything. We were near the elevator, you could hear everytime the elevator stopped on the floor, ding, ding ding. The doors to the hallways are cut short or have sank, therefore you must put a towel along the bottom of the door to keep out the light or else. Bathrooms are inside and very small. Suites are small and two bedrooms along with the living room and kitchen are not 50% larger than standard Marriott rooms as told by the Marriott reservation people. The location is tough if you have kids and want to sightsee. You will need a cab and they are not cheap. TIDBITS: There is parking available at no cost, limited, but safe behind the hotel. There is a whirlpool, not just a small indoor pool. There is a functional oven in the stove, not just a stovetop. The breakfast set-up is more expansive and better than advertised.
Excellent location
Brand new Residence Inn located in Charlestown, MA
Cross the Charlestown Bridge and you are in the North End! We had cousins from South Carolina visiting and we couldn't have picked a better hotel for growing teenagers who can eat around the clock. The breakfast buffet and evening snacks helped keep expenses low and the suites were spotless. Indoor pool was a bonus. Excellent service all the way around.
I travel often for business and I highly recommend this Residence Inn for business and family travel.

Lagos — Former Director of Military Intelligence in the Gen. Ibrahim Babangida government, Brig. Gen. Haliru Akilu (retd) has been identified as one of the major sponsors of the Arewa People's Congress, the northern version of militant groups rising in the country.
The controversial ex-intelligence chief, as well as another ex-DMI operative, Alhaji Sagir Mohammed, are said to be the arrowheads of the group that claims to be defending the interests of the north by checkmating the activities of ethnic militias, especially the Oodua Peoples Congress,(OPC) in the South West.
A report in the current edition of The News Magazine revealed that, already, Brig. Gen. Akilu could have been coordinating the process of raising a private army for the newly-launched APC.
Akilu, whose name has been an object of speculation over the October 1986 gruesome murder of the Editor-in-Chief of Newswatch magazine, Mr. Dele Giwa is said to have invested in the APC project to distract the attention of President Obasanjo whose government may bring him to trial over the murder of the media chief other "personal interests".
The magazine says investigations conducted by it in Kano and Kaduna have revealed that Akilu and Sagir had been contacting prominent leaders in the north to back the APC as it seeks to defend 'northern interests'.
Even though the size and strength of such a force was not given, the APC leadership has reiterated its preparedness to embark on a campaign by violence, 'If need be', to prosecute its 'jihad'.
There were speculations that some retired soldiers could be recruited into the force, even though Sagir vehemently denied such suggestion.
The APC might not find it difficult sponsoring the militant group due to a huge budget profile it has reportedly raised from wealthy citizens of the north.
The body said it wanted to protect the interest of northerners "who are being prosecuted and persecuted". Confronted with allegations of trying to raise a militant force, Alhaji Sagir Mohammed, APC's co- sponsor with Akilu told TheNEWS "We don't believe in violence. But sometimes, no matter how peaceful you may want to be, you may find out that you have been pushed to the limit and you are forced to respond with violence".

California governor proposes $315 million plan to ease prison overcrowding
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – California Governor Jerry Brown, facing a federal court order to ease overcrowding in the state's prison system, proposed a $315 million plan on Tuesday to expand inmate capacity by leasing space from county jails and other facilities.
The Democratic governor, who was joined by Republican leaders of the state legislature in announcing the bill, said his proposal would reduce California's prisons to 137.5 percent of capacity, as required by the court, and avoid the controversial early release of thousands of inmates.
Another San Diego worker files claim, saying mayor harassed her
By Dan Whitcomb
(Reuters) – A San Diego parks employee who says Mayor Bob Filner put her in a headlock and rubbed against her breasts at a public event this year filed a $500,000 battery and sexual harassment claim against the city on Monday, her attorney said.
Stacy McKenzie, one of 18 women who accuse Filner of making unwanted sexual advances, is the second in two months to initiate legal action against the embattled politician. Her claim is the precursor to a lawsuit.
Kidnapped California teen taken to Idaho calls herself a survivor
By Dan Whitcomb and Marty Graham
(Reuters) – Hannah Anderson, a 16-year-old California girl kidnapped by a man and taken to Idaho after he killed her mother and younger brother, said in a television interview that she considers herself a survivor who was raised to be strong.
The interview, which aired on Wednesday, comes just over a week after Anderson was rescued in the Idaho wilderness by FBI agents who shot and killed her captor, 40-year-old James Lee DiMaggio.

Family members of James Lee DiMaggio were trying to understand what could have prompted the computer technician to kill 44-year-old Christina Anderson and her son, 8-year-old Ethan Anderson, and set fire to his rural San Diego area home, Andrew Spanswick told Reuters in an interview.

By Dan Whitcomb
(Reuters) – Former Mexican drug kingpin Eduardo Arellano Felix, who pleaded guilty to laundering money for the notorious cartel that bore his family name, was sentenced on Monday in California to 15 years in prison in what law enforcement officials called the end of an era.
With the sentencing in U.S. District Court in San Diego, Arellano Felix, 56, became the last of four brothers killed or sent to prison in connection with the Arellano Felix drug trafficking ring, federal prosecutors said.

Deputies who went to Fleiss' home in Pahrump, some 45 miles west of Las Vegas, last week searching for a wanted female found the marijuana plants, Nye County Sheriff Tony De Meo said.

Jacob Turner isn't pitching nearly as well as he did early in the season. Turner (3-6) allowed five runs and nine hits in four innings as the Miami Marlins lost 6-4 to the Washington Nationals on Sunday. ''I'm not making the pitches when I need to make them,'' Turner said. ''The biggest thing is not commanding my fastball the way I need to. It's very frustrating.'' Turner has not pitched at least six innings in his last six starts going 0-3 with a 5.28 ERA. He was 3-3 with a 2.68 ERA in his first 12 starts of the season. ''Over the past few weeks it looks like it's all coming together and then the next inning it all falls apart,'' Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. It didn't look good for Stephen Strasburg early, but he was able to settle down. Strasburg got past a shaky start and pitched six innings to earn his first victory in nearly a month as the Washington Nationals. ''I knew if I kept the game close we could bust it open,'' Strasburg said. Ryan Zimmerman homered, his th...

Not of This Earth is a 1957 American black-and-white science fiction film produced and directed by Roger Corman for his Los Altos Productions, starring Paul Birch, Beverly Garland, Morgan Jones, and William Roerick. The film was written by Charles B. Griffith and Mark Hanna and was distributed by Allied Artists Pictures Corporation. Prints ran 67-minutes; others were expanded by the distributor to 71-minutes.
Not of This Earth depicts the dark deeds of an alien intruder who hides under the name of Mr. Johnson. After a nuclear war, the people of his home planet, Davanna, have developed an incurable blood disease. Johnson's mission to Earth is to test the blood of humans for its usefulness in saving his species from extinction.
After a nuclear war, the people of the planet Davanna developed an incurable blood disease. One of its citizens is sent to Earth to examine the blood of the humans for its usefulness in curing Davanna's dying race. The intruder (Paul Birch) has adopted the name Mr. Johnson, conspicuous only for his oversensitive ears and his sunglasses, which he wears even in the dark. The sunglasses hide his blank, white-eyed stare which kills his victims by burning through their eyes and into their brains.
Johnson hires nurse Nadine (Beverly Garland) to look after him in his house. Her boss, Dr. Rochelle (William Roerick), is under Johnson's hypnotic spell after he found out about his patient's peculiar blood cell structure. Johnson's plans are disturbed by the sudden appearance of a woman from Davanna. She asks him for an immediate transfusion, because her physical condition is rapidly deteriorating. Johnson breaks into Rochelle's office, but by accident he steals a probe from a rabid dog. The Davanna woman collapses in the street and dies at the hospital. Nadine's friend, police patrolman Harry Sherbourne (Morgan Jones), tries to question Rochelle, but the doctor is speechless under Johnson's spell. Johnson kills Rochelle for cautionary reasons, but Nadine, the next person in danger, manages to call the police. Johnson flees in his car, followed closely by Sherbourne on his motorcycle. When Sherbourne runs his siren, Johnson, distracted by the sound, drives the car off the road and dies in the crash.
After Johnson's funeral, Sherbourne and Nadine stand by his grave, which bears the inscription "Here lies a Man who was not of this Earth". While Sherbourne expresses mild compassion for Johnson, whose driving force was the rescue of his planet and its populace, Nadine refuses any kind of pity. They leave the gravesite, but a mysterious man appears at the site. [Note 1] Like Johnson, he wears the same sunglasses and carries the same distinctive case (which contains transfusion equipment).

Production notes[edit]
Griffith says that after he and Corman had collaborated on Gunslinger, he suggested they make a science fiction film and Corman agreed; Not of This Earth was the result.[2] He also said he originally wrote the part of the vacuum cleaner salesman for himself.[2]
Not of This Earth was released in the U.S. on the bottom half of a double bill with Corman's Attack of the Crab Monsters.[3][4] According to Tim Dirks, the film was one of a wave of "cheap teen movies" released for the drive-in market. They consisted of "exploitative, cheap fare created especially for them [teens] in a newly-established teen/drive-in genre." [5]
Some release prints of Not of This Earth run 71 minutes; these include duplicate scenes the film's distributor added into the film. Example: a dialogue between Johnson and a representative from Davanna, which appears as a pre-title sequence, is reused again some minutes in the film. This release version circulated in syndication on U. S. TV stations, 16 mm copies, and bootleg DVDs and videotapes.
Geoff Andrew in his Time Out review, noted that Not of This Earth: "Low budgets give little reason for regret when the often tacky effects are surrounded by so much imagination, good humour, and sheer joy in film-making as here. Not of This Earth is a minor sci-fi gem, with an alien (Birch; you can tell he's an ET by his briefcase and dark glasses, establishing him as infinitely superior to the moronic middle Americans on view) terrorising Earth (or a small backlot) in his quest for blood for the folks back home."[6]
Michael Weldon in The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film called the film, "Corman's most enjoyable science fiction film."[3]
The Aurum Film Encyclopedia – Science Fiction said Not of This Earth was "Marvellous."[7]
In Lexikon des Science Fiction Films, the comment was "[…] although not necessarily first rank, [Not of This Earth] still belongs, bearing its low budget in mind, to the best science fiction films of the Fifties." – .[8]
- Not of This Earth (1988), directed by Jim Wynorski and starring Traci Lords.
- Not of This Earth (1995), directed by Terence H. Winkless and starring Michael York.
DVD releases[edit]
Not of this Earth is available as a regular DVD in the U.S. (as part of the Roger Corman's Cult Classics Triple Feature DVD box) and in the UK as a single DVD. Foreign DVD releases exist in Spain (as Emisario del otro mundo) and Germany (as Die Außerirdischen).

37 CFR 1.809 - Examination procedures.
prev | next
(a) The examiner shall determine pursuant to § 1.104 in each application for patent, application for reissue patent or reexamination proceeding if a deposit is needed, and if needed, if a deposit actually made is acceptable for patent purposes. If a deposit is needed and has not been made or replaced or supplemented in accordance with these regulations, the examiner, where appropriate, shall reject the affected claims under the appropriate provision of 35 U.S.C. 112, explaining why a deposit is needed and/or why a deposit actually made cannot be accepted.
(b) The applicant for patent or patent owner shall reply to a rejection under paragraph (a) of this section by—
(1) In the case of an applicant for patent, either making an acceptable original, replacement, or supplemental deposit, or assuring the Office in writing that an acceptable deposit will be made; or, in the case of a patent owner, requesting a certificate of correction of the patent which meets the terms of paragraphs (b) and (c) of § 1.805, or
(2) Arguing why a deposit is not needed under the circumstances of the application or patent considered and/or why a deposit actually made should be accepted. Other replies to the examiner's action shall be considered nonresponsive. The rejection will be repeated until either paragraph (b)(1) of this section is satisfied or the examiner is convinced that a deposit is not needed.
(c) If an application for patent is otherwise in condition for allowance except for a needed deposit and the Office has received a written assurance that an acceptable deposit will be made, applicant will be notified and given a period of time within which the deposit must be made in order to avoid abandonment. This time period is not extendable under § 1.136(a) or (b) if set forth in a "Notice of Allowability" or in an Office action having a mail date on or after the mail date of a "Notice of Allowability" (see § 1.136(c)).
(3) A description of the deposited biological material sufficient to specifically identify it and to permit examination; and

THIS is a copy of Claude Monet's Impression, Sunrise, the painting that gave the name to the impressionist movement. But it is no idle knock-off. At 300 micrometres across it is the world's smallest recreated masterpiece, closely reproducing the vibrant colours of the original thanks to careful nanotech engineering.
Joel Yang at the Singapore University of Technology and Design swapped oil paints for a slightly smaller palette of nanoscale silicon pillars topped with aluminium. When light strikes the pillars it creates ripples of electrons that in turn release coloured light of a particular frequency. The team created "pixels" of four pillars and varied their size and spacing to produce about 300 different colours, enough to reproduce the masterpiece (Nano Letters, DOI: 10.1021/nl501460x).
A previous method using silver and gold was more costly and could only manage 15 colours, so the new technique has more potential for practical applications. The tiny pixels could also be used to store data or create small security tags on physical objects.

Medical School: Edward Via COM - Virginia
About me: I was raised in the DFW metroplex and grew up Irving, TX. I attended Baylor University in Waco, Texas and graduated in 2006 with a B.S. degree in Biochemistry. I received a M.S. degree in Biomedical Sciences from Hampton University, in Hampton, Virginia in 2008. I then attended Osteopathic medical school and obtained my D.O. degree in 2012. I'm honored to be a part of a specialty that has such versatility and am thrilled to begin my career as an OB/GYN.
Why Resurrection: The program offers the residents great support. Very accommodating to our needs, values our suggestions, and is dynamic in the fact that changes are made to suit our needs based on the suggestions that we make. There is a sense of community across the specialties amongst the attendings, residents and staff. The volume affords for education from a practical and academic standpoint. Furthermore, the resources offered are vast and medical education is instrumental in ensuring that access is available. The location is also optimal. Having a program based in Chicago, allows for exposure to diversity in the work environment and on a more personal social level. Resurrection is a good fit overall for learning and maturing professionally and personally.

As you know, there is an add-on to the Windows called "Microsoft Windows 95 PowerToys". One of the elements of this add-on is called "Send To Extensions". During its installation, the Sendtox.dll file is placed in the %WinDir%\System\ShellExt folder, and in %WinDir%\SendTo folder, there are placed seven shortcuts widening the range of capabilities of the "Send To" command in the context menu. Because the "Send To Extensions PowerToy" works and is useful also in Windows 98, sometimes it is also installed in that operating system. Unfortunately, during the Sendtox.dll file registration, the registry key: [HKLM\Software\CLASSES\CLSID\{9E56BE61-50F-11CF-9A2C-00A0C90A90CE}] gets "intentionally" damaged.
Vs.txt 1.46KB 13 downloadsThe result of these changes is a malfunction of one of the system shortcuts used in the command "Send To": "Desktop (create shortcut)". When used, rather than create a desktop shortcut to the file to which this command has been applied to, it will now open a window of a "new message Microsoft Exchange". The remedy is obviously to restore the key's proper content [HKLM\Software\CLASSES\CLSID\{9E56BE61-C50F-11CF-9A2C-00A0C90A90CE}], but there wouldn't have been any problem in the first place, if not for the bug in the Sendtox.dll file. This error, aside from the damage it causes, doesn't bring any more or less positive effects, and besides, it was possible for the Microsoft to use two different CLSID!

Health Practice3 should also encourage the competency development of public health professionals working in public health system roles in for-profit and nongovernmental entities (Chapter 3).
Congress should designate funds for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to periodically assess the preparedness of the public health workforce, to document the training necessary to meet basic competency expectations, and to advise on the funding necessary to provide such training (Chapter 3).
Leadership training, support, and development should be a high priority for governmental public health agencies and other organizations in the public health system and for schools of public health that supply the public health infrastructure with its professionals and leaders (Chapter 3).
A formal national dialogue should be initiated to address the issue of public health workforce credentialing. The Secretary of DHHS should appoint a national commission on public health workforce credentialing to lead this dialogue. The commission should be charged to determine if a credentialing system would further the goal of creating a competent workforce and, if applicable, the manner and time frame for implementation by governmental public health agencies at all levels. The dialogue should include representatives from federal, state, and local public health agencies, academia, and public health professional organizations who can represent and discuss the various perspectives on the workforce credentialing debate (Chapter 3).
All partners within the public health system should place special emphasis on communication as a critical core competency of public health practice. Governmental public health agencies at all levels should use existing and emerging tools (including information technologies) for effective management of public health information and for internal and external communication. To be effective, such communication must be culturally appropriate and suitable to the literacy levels of the individuals in the communities they serve (Chapter 3).
The Secretary of DHHS should provide leadership to facilitate the development and implementation of the National Health Information Infrastructure (NHII). Implementation of NHII should take into account, where possible, the findings and recommendations of the
The Council on Linkages between Academia and Public Health Practice is comprised of leaders from national organizations representing the public health practice and academic communities. The Council grew out of the Public Health Faculty/Agency Forum, which developed recommendations for improving the relevance of public health education to the demands of public health in the practice sector. The Council and its partners have focused attention on the need for a public health practice research agenda.

The dark has brought them to a winter night
they' ve made themselves, forgetting what is right,
though they can see their children cry
there's not a one who'll reason why,
nor think upon enough to see the light.
There's no repent for killing going on,
and no resistance when the dead are gone.
just hate on hate that only grows,
the hint of peace that never shows,
with lots of blame, enough for everyone.
There's not one hero before dies are cast
until all reason's buried in the past.
and truth is what a baby hears
but put to rest for later years,
and right is not defined until the last.

Pennisetum glaucum (pearl millet)
Field of pearl millet
Species information
Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.
pearl millet, bulrush millet, cattail millet (English); mil, mil à chandelle, mil pénicillaire, petit mil (French); milho zaburro, milho preto, milheto, massango liso (Portuguese); mwele (Swahili).
Widespread in cultivation.
Well drained loamy to sandy soils.
Food and drink, fodder crop, dye, construction materials, medicinal, silage, haymaking, grazing.
About this species
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is well-adapted to poor, droughty and infertile soils and is therefore a vital subsistence crop in countries surrounding the Sahara Desert and in western Africa where soils are tough and rainfall is low. As climate change continues to affect weather and rainfall patterns, pearl millet is likely to become increasingly important as a crop for the future. In addition to being an important food source, pearl millet has a number of medicinal applications.
Pennisetum spicatum (L.) Körn., Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke, Pennisetum typhoides (Burm.f.) Stapf & C.E.Hubb.

Geography and distribution
Pennisetum glaucum is cultivated in Eastern Europe, Africa, temperate Asia (western Asia, Arabia and China) and tropical Asia (India and Indo-China), Australia, South America, Caribbean.
Pearl millet was first domesticated in the Sahel region 4,000 to 5,000 years ago from its wild ancestor, Pennisetum violaceum. From the Sahel it spread to East Africa and southern Africa and later to the Indian subcontinent. It reached the Americas by the 18th century.
Pearl millet is cultivated as a grain crop mainly in the semi-arid regions of West Africa as well as in the driest parts of East and southern Africa and the Indian subcontinent. It is popularly grown as a fodder crop in Brazil, the US, South Africa and Australia.
Overview: Pennisetum glaucum is an annual with erect, robust stems 150-300 cm long. The nodes along the stem are bearded and the ligule (the appendage between the sheath and the blade of the leaf) is a fringe of hairs.
Leaves: Leaf blades are 50-100 cm long and up to 70 mm wide.
Flowers: The inflorescence is a panicle (a compound of axes, known as racemes, along which the spikelets are arranged - spikelets are the clustered unit of flowers and bracts typical of grasses). Beneath each spikelet is a whorl of bristles. Spikelets are 3-6 mm long and comprise one basal sterile floret and one fertile floret. Each floret is enclosed by bracts, known as glumes, of different sizes, the lower one obscure and the upper one 0.5-2.0 mm long. The flower has three anthers and the styles are joined at the base. The flower does not contain lodicules (small structures at the base of the stamens).
Fruits: The fruit is a caryopsis (a fruit in which the seed is fused to an outer wall) 2.0-5.5 mm long which is exposed at maturity.
100 million people in parts of tropical Africa and India depend on pearl millet as their staple food source. Pearl millet can be prepared in a variety of different ways:
- The grains can be boiled or steamed directly, or ground into a flour to make bread, porridge or couscous.
- Pearl millet and pulses can be seasoned to make delicious snacks popular in Africa.
- The grain is also used in the making of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Millet beer, for example is often considered a staple of religious and social life in Africa.
- Pearl millet is high in protein which makes it an excellent feed for poultry and other livestock.
The stems of the plant are used for fencing, thatching and building materials. The red and purple varieties of pearl millet are used for making dyes for leather and wood.
Pearl millet also has a number of medicinal applications. In African traditional medicine the grain is used to treat chest disorders, leprosy, blennorrhoea and poisonings. A decoction made from the roots is used in the treatment of jaundice and the vapour from inflorescence extracts is inhaled for respiratory diseases in children.
Pearl millet has been found to be effective in suppressing root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus penetrans) and is being used as an alternative to soil fumigation in tobacco and potato cropping in Canada.
Pearl millet grains are used in rituals in some areas.
Crop wild relatives of pearl millet
Millets are better adapted to poor, droughty and infertile soils than most other grain crops. Even so, lower and erratic rainfall patterns are the cause of major problems and diseases, such as downy mildew, which can destroy as much as 80% of the crop. Wild relatives of pearl millet were screened for traits such as drought- and disease-resistance and were then bred with cultivated varieties that demonstrated high yield and other positive traits. An improved strain of the crop was released in 2005 by the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences at Aberystwyth University for cultivation throughout India and further work is being done to transfer these valuable traits into other varieties worldwide.
Pennisetum squamulatum is a relative of pearl millet that is endangered in the wild and is therefore a conservation priority. Efforts are being made by the Millennium Seed Bank and the Global Crop Diversity Trust to collect the seeds of the wild relatives of 29 of the most important food crops. The project is called 'Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change' and by protecting, collecting and preparing crop wild relatives such as Pennisetum squamulatum for use in breeding programs, their genetic potential can be harnessed to make our crops more resilient in the face of climate change.
Millennium Seed Bank: Seed storage
The Millennium Seed Bank Partnership aims to save plants worldwide, focusing on those plants which are under threat and those which are of most use in the future. Once seeds have been collected they are dried, packaged and stored at -20°C in our seed bank vault.
Description of seeds: Average 1,000 seed weight = 7.1 g
Number of seed collections stored in the Millennium Seed Bank: One
Seed storage behaviour: Orthodox (the seeds of this plant can be dried to low moisture contents without significantly reducing their viability. This means they are suitable for long-term frozen storage such as at the MSB)
Germination testing: Successful
This species at Kew
Pressed and dried specimens of pearl millet are held in Kew's Herbarium, where they are available to researchers by appointment. Details of some of these specimens can be seen online in Kew's Herbarium Catalogue.

Under the persona of Kamala "The Ugandan Headhunter" James Harris entertained crowds around the world. Whether it was in large arenas in the then named World Wrestling Federation or in smaller venues for regional promotions, Kamala was a character that fans paid money to see.
The world of professional wrestling is driven on the personalities of their talent. Many are over the top, but wrestling fans are self-conditioned to suspend their disbelief regardless of how outlandish the performance is. With that said, even by wrestling standards the idea of a man who looked like he was a cannibal, appeared to be unable to speak any language and always to have a handler guiding him around the country appeared to be a gimmick that seemed to over the top to possibly work.

Gold Weight Representing Hunter or Warrior
Gold was extremely important in the economic and political life of the Akan kingdoms of southern Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Until the mid-nineteenth century, gold dust was the primary form of currency in the region. In order to measure precise amounts of gold, an elaborate system of weights, usually made of cast brass, developed by the seventeenth century. Gold weights took many forms: simple geometric shapes; animals, such as leopards or birds; objects, such as chairs or swords; and human figures. The figures, animals, and objects are often associated with proverbs. The sankofa bird, with head turned backward, represents the proverb "One must turn to the past to move forward."

The premise
An electronic cigarette (or e-cigarette), according to Wikipedia, is a "battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized propylene glycol/nicotine solution".
What this means is that the e-cigarette is supposed to give you the fun of smoking, as well as the addicting substance in regular cigarettes (nicotine), without the bad stuff – the tobacco (you can read here why smoking regular cigarettes is bad for you).
Electronic cigarette. All the fun without the bad stuff? Photo by uduokkamah
The news
Last Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that a laboratory analysis of electronic cigarette samples has found that they contain carcinogens and toxic chemicals. The FDA analyzed 19 varieties of electronic cigarettes, and found that half of them contained nitrosamines. Nitrosamines are the same carcinogens (materials that can cause cancer) found in real cigarettes. Many of the other e-cigarette brands also contained diethylene glycol, which is a poisonous ingredient found in antifreeze.
Your take
Have you tried any of these e-cigarettes?
What do you think about the FDA's announcement. Are they worried over nothing or is this a new health hazard? Let us know in the comments.

How do I control the volume when listing to music & the iPhone 4 is in the dock and the speakers are connected through the dock's line out connection?
- Asked by Peter S from Sugar Land
Apple iPhone 4 Dock
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
You should still be able to control the volume from your iPhone 4's volume buttons, and if your speakers have a volume adjustment knob that should work as well.
- Answered by Oscar S from Bellingham
My experience is that you CANNOT control the volume with the phone's usual volume controls while it is docked. Instead, you must use the volume control on the attached speakers instead.
Tip: Adjust your phone's volume prior to docking it. If it is set too low, raising the volume on the auxiliary speakers may not be enough to achieve the loudness you want.

The system of federal and state "exchanges" or "marketplaces" that offer health insurance through the Affordable Care Act lean heavily on "navigators" to guide consumers in their choices. Organizations such as community health centers, legal aid societies, social service groups, church groups and even Planned Parenthood chapters have received grants in the past to serve in this capacity. Now the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced $201 million in grants to be made available for navigators over the next three years.
Until now, grants have been awarded on an annual basis. This time around, HHS is planning to change the "project period" from 12 to 36 months. Tricia Brooks of Georgetown University's Center for Children and Families is enthusiastic about this change. Writing at the Center on Health Insurance Reforms blog (CHIRblog), Brooks says:
But what really excited me about the notice – drumroll please – is that, in the supporting statement, CMS signaled its intent to provide three years of funding in the next round of navigator grants. Extending the length of the funding period is important to build stability in enrollment assistance programs. No longer will individual navigators have to put their resume on the street at the end of the grant year, just in case. Three-year funding periods will enable navigator entities to recruit and retain permanent, professional consumer assisters and assure high quality assistance for consumers.
Brooks also notes that HHS plans to substantially cut weekly and quarterly reporting requirements for navigators while increasing monthly requirements. She urges potential grantees to submit comments to HHS regarding these and other changes.
The grant announcement also provides details of what is expected of all marketplace navigators:
• Conducting public education activities to raise awareness about the Marketplace; • Maintaining a physical presence in the Marketplace service area• Facilitating selection of a QHP;• Providing information in a manner that is culturally and linguistically appropriate to the population served by the Marketplace, including individuals with limited English proficiency and that is accessible to individuals with disabilities;• Complying with applicable training and conflict of interest standards;• Obtaining the authorization of applicants for coverage available through a Marketplace application prior to accessing their personally identifiable information;
Also listed are prohibited activities, largely aimed at limiting potential conflicts of interest:
• Charging any applicant for or enrollee in coverage available through the Marketplace for application or other assistance related to Navigator duties;Compensating individual Navigators on a per-application, per-individual-assisted, or per enrollment basis;• Providing certain kinds of gifts to any applicant or potential enrollee as an inducement for enrollment;• Using Marketplace funds to purchase gifts or gift cards, or promotional items that market or promote the products or services of a third party, that would be provided to any applicant for or potential enrollee in coverage available through the Marketplace;• Soliciting any consumer for application or enrollment assistance by going door-to-door or through other unsolicited means of direct contact, except in cases where the individualhas a pre-existing relationship with the individual Navigator or Navigator entity; and• Initiating any telephone call to a consumer using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice, except in cases where the individual Navigator or Navigator entity has a relationship with the consumer.
HHS also stresses the training and certification needed for personnel to be qualified to serve as navigators:
Navigators must complete at least 20 hours of an HHS developed training program and pass an online exam to ensure appropriate understanding of relevant Marketplace-related information and must be federally certified before carrying out any consumer assistance functions.
In spite of the change to a three-year period, HHS notes that "all personnel serving as Navigators must obtain continuing education and be re-certified on at least an annual basis."

When President Obama attended the G-20 summit in Brisbane, Australia last November, the entire delegation required over 5,000 room nights at five different hotels over the cours
Lost in much of the reporting about CPAC is that almost all of the likely presidential candidates—really, all of them, with the exception of Rand Paul—seemed to place themselves at the Reaganite hawkish-internationalist end of the foreign policy spectrum. The much-heralded return of Republican isolationism or anti-interventionism wasn't much in evidence, except during Rand Paul's half hour on the stage.
A bipartisan group of mmore than eighty influential national security experts, from former Defense Secretary Robert Gates to Michèle Flournoy to Bill Kristol, have written a letter to congressional leadership to urge increased defense spending.
On its much maligned Twitter feed, Think AgainTurn Away, the State Department is denouncing higher taxes -- and even asserting they're evidence a utopian society is a pipe dream.
Vice President Biden spent about a day and a half in Belgium in early February to meet with various European leaders, but his entourage, security team and other delegation members required up to 209 rooms for up to three weeks surrounding the visit.
In January, the State Department signed contracts for an estimated $1,690,000 million for hotels for President Obama's trip to India. Two of the contracts were for the New Delhi stay, and another two were for Agra, the location of the Taj Mahal. That latter leg of the trip was cancelled when President Obama decided to leave early to pay his respects to the recently deceased king of Saudi Arabia. The president stayed in New Delhi for two nights.
In his weekly newsletter, the boss, just back from the Munich Security Conference, shares his big takeaways:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is working on a solution to a problem faced by a growing number of Americans as the population ages and relies more on prescription drugs: "What is this pill?" Much in the way a Google image search looks for similar images in Google's vast caches, the NIH's National Library of Medicine (NLM) desires a tool to match users' smart phone photos of mystery pills with hi-res images in the NLM's existing RxIMAGE database
This Washington Post headline pretty much explains that government is our business—and business is very good:
Under President Obama, $7.5 trillion has been added to the national debt. The number is being highlighted by the Republican National Committee ahead of President Obama's State of the Union address, which will be delivered tonight from Washington.
When President Obama visited Brisbane, Australia in November for the G-20 summit, the large U.S. delegation required multiple hotels and thousands of "room nights" for the length of the stay, though the president himself spent only one night in his hotel.
In one final ignominious act of parliamentary genius, outgoing Senate majority leader Harry Reid rolled Republican troublemaker Ted Cruz of Texas over the weekend, robbing the GOP of a chance to stop Democrats in the lame-duck session.
The House of Representatives passed a long-term spending bill Thursday night, just hours before the current continuing budget resolution is set to run out. The vote of 219 to 206, including nearly 60 Democrats, took longer than the alotted 15 minutes as House members from both parties witheld their votes for several minutes.

I was riding an Arabian mare today, 12 years old, good amount of training, that hadn't been ridden in over two weeks, so she was a little frisky.
Anyway, we were trotting, and she was arching her neck and "bumping" her hind end a little, like horses do when they are thinking of bucking. I kept her trotting and gave her a vocal discipline every time she "bumped". I thought she was over it, so I asked for a lope. She went into it real nice and easy, but after a lap or so around the arena, she started putting her neck down again, arching it like she had been. I didn't know if this was her trying to "submit". I know when horses are relaxed and thinking and listening to what you want, they will often put their head down as submission. So I wasn't doing anything about it and she started bucking. I pulled her around in a tight circle and kept her going. A trainer that happened to be watching was kind enough to roundpen her, after which she settled down. We didn't do any loping after she was roundpenned, just some slow poles and trail work, so I don't know if she would have loped fine after.
The question I really have is this- is there a way to tell if they are putting their head down like "Ok, I'll do whatever you want", or if they are putting thier head down to buck? Is it possible that she was having pain, maybe in her back? Thanks!
