Frequently Asked Questions
General Issues
- I'm not sure whether to apply for a grant or cooperative agreement. How do they differ?
The main difference between a grant and cooperative agreement is the level of OPHPR's involvement. For a grant, OPHPR is not substantially involved in the execution of the research. For a cooperative agreement, OPHPR may have substantial involvement. The amount of involvement by OPHPR in a cooperative agreement will be specified in the program announcement.
- Can I submit more than one application for the same program announcement?
You are encouraged to submit only one application in response to a particular program announcement. With few exceptions (e.g., research issues needing immediate public health attention), only one application per principal investigator will be funded per program announcement.
- Can I apply to more than one program announcement?
Yes, there are no restrictions on the number of program announcements to which a principal investigator can apply.
- I have other funding for part of our project/research and want to apply for OPHPR funding to extend our work. Is this ok?
Yes, you can apply to OPHPR to fund research that is partially funded by another source. However, the proposed research needs to be different than that which is already funded; OPHPR will not pay for duplicate research.
- I can't get an application together before the deadline. Will this type of research be funded again in the future?
OPHPR traditionally publishes program announcements once per year. OPHPR expects to publish program announcements every year for the individual research grants. However, the research objectives of those program announcements change from year to year. If you plan on waiting and submitting to a future program announcement, make sure your application meets the research objectives of that program announcement. Research cooperative agreements, on the other hand, are typically published only once. It is rare that the same announcement will be published the following year.
- I submitted an application last year, and it was deemed nonresponsive. Why?
The most likely reasons your application was deemed nonresponsive are 1) proposed research did not match one of the research objectives outlined in the program announcement; 2) the proposed budget exceeded the award ceiling listed in the program announcement; 3) the principal investigator did not meet the eligibility requirements listed in the program announcement.
- My application from last year was not funded; can I resubmit it this year?
You may resubmit your application provided the proposed research meets the research objectives of a new program announcement. The research objectives of the program announcements change from year to year, so it is important that your application meets the current objectives. A resubmitted application will not receive any special treatment; it will be reviewed as a new submission. However, you will improve your chances of success if you consider the issues addressed in your previous reviewers' summary statement.
- The program announcement says you're only funding two awards—is there any flexibility on this?
OPHPR typically funds only the number of awards listed in the program announcement. However, if additional funds become available, more awards may be funded.
- If there are multiple highly rated applications from the same geographic area, does that lower our chances of being funded?
If the secondary review criteria listed in the program announcement include geographic balance, the decision to fund your competitive application could be affected by another competitive application from your geographic region.
- If I am not yet sure what intervention (or what population) I will use, how can I give the detailed description asked for in the application?
You need to provide as much detail in your application as possible about your experimental design. If you are still trying to decide between two interventions (or two study populations), you must explain both in your application. You must also explain how and when you will decide which intervention (or population) to use.
If you are undecided on a specific intervention (or study population), you might consider waiting for a future program announcement when you have better defined your experimental design.
- What if I'm not sure whether my proposed research fits the research objectives of the program announcement?
First, read the research objectives in your particular program announcement carefully. Second, contact the project officer listed for your particular program announcement. The project officer will be happy to discuss your proposed research with you.
Application Process Requirements
- What form do I use to submit my application?
CDC uses the SF424 and has adopted the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide located at this Web site: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/424/index.htm.
- Where do I obtain additional information on the SF424 and electronic submission?
For general information on SF424 (R&R) Application and Electronic Submission, see the following Web sites: SF424 (R&R) Application and Electronic Submission Information; and General Information on Electronic Submission of Grant Applications
- Where do I obtain additional information on PH398 for paper submission and instructions?
For general information on PH398, see the following website: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html
- Is a letter of intent required if the Request for Application (RFA) asks for it?
A letter of intent is not required and will not enter into the review of your subsequent application. However, we ask that you do submit a letter of intent. OPHPR uses letters of intent to gauge the level of interest in the program announcement and plan for the application review.
- If I missed the deadline for submitting a letter of intent, can I still submit an application?
Yes, you can submit an application without first submitting a letter of intent. The letter of intent is not required and is nonbinding.
- Must I have all my IRB assurances to submit my application?
You do not need IRB approval when you submit your application. However, if you receive an award, a portion of your funds will be restricted until all of your IRB assurances are in place.
- Are there requirements formatting requirements for the application?
Requirement may vary by announcement.
- What if I exceed the 25 pages allotted for the R01 research plan section of my application?
Your application will be deemed nonresponsive and will not be considered for peer review. The research plan must not exceed 25 pages.
- Who will review my application?
First your application will be evaluated for scientific and technical merit by an external peer review panel convened by OPHPR. Applications judged to have sufficient technical and scientific merit will then undergo a secondary review. The secondary review will be conducted by external experts. ERP Director will develop funding recommendations for the OPHPR director based on the results of the primary review, the relevance and balance of proposed research relative to OPHPR programs and priorities, and the avoidance of unwarranted duplication of federally funded research.
- Program announcements from other granting agencies have offered a conference call-in time for potential applicants to ask questions. Can my research team set up a conference call with you?
Often OPHPR does set conference call-in times for questions. Please contact the project officer listed for your particular program announcement for details.
- Do you have examples of successful applications I can use as a model?
No, OPHPR does not have examples of previously funded applications that you can use as a model.
Principal Investigators
- How strict will you be in assessing the eligibility requirements of the principal investigator?
For example, some program announcements require that the principal investigator has published in peer-reviewed journals. Applications from principal investigators who do not meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the program announcement will be deemed nonresponsive and will not be considered for further review. This includes the requirement in some program announcements that the principal investigator has published in a peer-reviewed journal.
- Must the principal investigator be employed by the organization applying for the award?
The principal investigator need not be employed by the applicant organization. However, the relationship between the principal investigator and the applicant organization must be clearly stated in the application.
- How can a small nonprofit or community-based organization find a qualified principal investigator?
We suggest they contact local universities to see if someone who meets the requirements of principal investigator is willing to collaborate with them on the application.

October Baby Movie Reviews
User reviews on October Baby
I hate faith-based films and I was tricked into seeing this one. It was absolutely horrible, unrealistic and overall stupid film and i hope people will not see it. This film should not be called film, it is propaganda of the worst kind and the makers of this film should be ashamed of themselves. Even if I agreed with the point of view of this film (which I never will) it was just a bad movie overall and it would be a waste of your money and time. Overall, I think this film is horrible and I do not recommend seeing it in the theaters.
A real life victory when an abortion factory botched up making a technician into a midwife with one look in the eyes. How many of us wished our mothers tried to abort us. Thank God more baby's are not aborted. I would wish all middle school kids could see this film
The movie October Baby did a great job of showing the abortion issue from many different perspectives. From the person who survived the abortion, to the birth mother, to the adoptive parents and even the abortion clinic nurse. I thought the movie took a lot of twists and turns which made it all the more interesting. The main theme that runs through this movie is forgiveness and healing. What better subject matter can you have in a movie-we all need more of both. I will recommend this movie to others and would see it again.
Decent film. Definite pro-life message but that shouldn't be a problem even if you happen to be pro-choice- this is America! Well worth the price of the ticket. The premise of this movie is strangely similar to a recent novel, ONLY WOMEN BLEED, by L.J. Rivard. The main character in the novel learns on her twenty-first birthday that she survived abortion as an infant. The novel's main character, Jessica, also was born in October! She goes on a quest to find out the truth about her beginnings, in particular, the woman who aborted her. The book is not preachy at all, like some of the comments I've heard about the movie. It's a good read, written by a lawyer, and so I learned a little something about the state of abortion law in this country as a bonus. ONLY WOMEN BLEED is available on amazon. The similarities between the book and the movie are a little uncanny since the topic is so unique, but I'd recommend both!
This is a drama about a college freshman who learns that she is a survivor of an attempted abortion, the film is directed by Andrew Erwin and Jon Erwin and stars Rachel Hendrix, Jason Burkey and John Schneider. I did not like this film and I do not recommend seeing it in the theaters. The film was a complete mess and I could not wait to leave the theater. The film was made badly, the tone was all over the place and it was way too long. I also did not enjoy the overload of music which tried to compensate for the story and also the infinite amount of beauty shots that were pointless and really annoying. It is a propaganda film that blatantly tries to shove certain ideas down your throat and it literally made me sick to my stomach. Overall, I hope you will avoid this film and tell other people not to see it.
I was able to see a pre-screening of this movie; it is very good. Please gather your friends and fellow parishioners and go the movie theater on the opening weekend. I will be seeing it with my family when it opens. Its important to support good films like these to make Hollywood take notice. The scene in the movie with the young lady and the priest is wonderful. Nice to have the Church and our priests portrayed positively (sadly that is not always the case) They are going to show the real life story of one of the actresses as the credits role at the end of the movie ... if you go - please stay to listen to her story of God's healing love.
"October Baby" is a beautiful portrayal of forgiveness and healing. It is so moving, so powerful. It is a story about a young girl and her search for the truth, the truth as to why she is alive, and is based on a true story. The film also has a startling twist to the story, which shows how the mercy of God can come to us in the most unexpected and unimaginable ways. Tell all your family and friends about it. Please watch the movie trailer (Shari's Story) it is so great.
See: http://octoberbabymovie.net/ministryresources/
This is coming of age story about a naive college freshman who discovers that her whole life is a lie, the film is directed by Andrew Erwin, Jon Erwin and stars Rachel Hendrix, Jason Burkey and John Schneider. I thought that the film is alright but I don't think it is worth seeing in the theaters. I think it was way too sentimental, my friend cried but then again she cries about everything(that sounded mean but it is the truth). Some scenes in the film work very well but overall it was way too much emotional mumbo jumbo for my taste.

After three adventures of Marvel's legendary web-slinger on the sliver screen headed by Tobey Maguire, an unknown actor will take over the dual roles of Peter Parker and his alter ego Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield, according to Sony Pictures which is producing a Spider-Man 3D Reboot for 2012, will be the star of the new film according to a report from Digital Spy:
Andrew Garfield has been slated to play Peter Parker in the upcoming Spider-Man film.
Sony Pictures announced on Thursday that the 27-year-old, who is relatively unknown in the acting world, will fill the title role in the upcoming Mark Webb production.
"Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor's work understand his extraordinary talents," Webb said.
CEO and Founder of Marvel Studios Avi Arad added his own words to the casting of Garfield:
"I'm incredibly excited about Andrew Garfield. In the Spider-Man tradition, we were looking for a smart, sensitive, and cool new Peter Parker who can inspire us and make us laugh, cry, and cheer.
"We believe we have found the perfect choice to take on this role and lead us into the future."
A fourth Spider-Man from the Tobey Maguire era was planned with Sam Raimi directing once again. Due to squabbles with Sony over fast-tracking the film for a 2011 summer release, Sam Raimi left the project. Rather than continue without Raimi, Sony opted to reboot the franchise with a new actor leading the series and a new director.
Spider-Man 3, which was released in 2007, was made for $258 million dollars and make a box office return of $890 million.

Free Speech
Fair Treatment of Immigrants
Open Records
Religious Freedom
Free Speech
Case Name: Occupy Nashville, et al v. Haslam, et al
ACLU-TN Coop. Atty: David Briley and Patrick Frogge (Direct Representation)
Plaintiffs: Occupy Nashville, Paula Painter, Malina Shannon, Lauren Plummer, Adam Knight, William Howell and Darria Hudson
Defendants: Bill Haslam, William Gibbons and Steven Cates, et al.
The Occupy Nashville protesters have been gathered at Legislative Plaza in downtown Nashville to express their frustration with the government since October 9, 2011. Between October 9 and October 27, 2011, the protesters spoke out, held up signs and generally communicated their frustration in a non-violent manner. Historically, other groups have been permitted to gather at the plaza without a permit.
On October 27, the State issued the new rules that dramatically restricted demonstrators' ability to protest during business hours, eliminating their right to gather after 4:00 p.m. and implementing a 10:00 pm curfew on the Plaza. They also required protesters to pay use and security fees and to obtain $1,000,000 in liability insurance coverage prior to engaging in any assembly activity.
The lawsuit alleges that the State illegally revised the rules controlling Legislative Plaza, arresting protesters without probable cause and due process over the last several nights as a means to chill their free speech. The new rules were adopted improperly, by fiat in secret and without notice. They are overly broad and vague and essentially pose a financial restriction on free speech, in violation of demonstrators' First Amendment rights. They were also being applied unequally, as patrons of the Tennessee Performing Arts Center were still permitted to be in Legislative Plaza after 10 p.m.
The Temporary Restraining Order was issued on October 31, 2011 which halted enforcement of the rules. The Temporary Restraining Order was converted to a Preliminary Injunction on November 17, 2011. The case remains pending.
Case Name: The Contributor, et. al., v. City of Brentwood
ACLU-TN Coop. Atty: Irwin Venick, Dobbins, Venick, Kuhn & Byassee, PLLC (Nashville) (Direct Representation)
Plaintiffs: The Contributor, Calvin Hart, Andrew Harrington
Defendants: City of Brentwood
The Contributor is a street newspaper in Nashville that prints a monthly newspaper dedicated to providing 1) a diversity of perspectives and info on the condition of homelessness while highlighting the contributions of homeless and formerly homeless individuals; 2) homeless and formerly homeless vendors with a source of income; and 3) to create community between vendors and customers.
Seven vendors of The Contributor newspaper were cited for violating a local Brentwood Ordinance that prohibits the selling of merchandise in a variety of public spaces. They were selling the newspaper from the sidewalk. The Ordinance (Section 58-1) says:
Except as permitted by other portions of this Code, no person shall use or occupy any portion of any public street, alley, sidewalk or right-of-way for the purpose of storing, selling or exhibiting and goods, wares, merchandise or materials.
ACLU-TN filed suit on June 29, 2011, to protect the free speech rights of The Contributor and its' vendors. On July 25, 2011 Brentwood amended its ordinance in an attempt to moot the ACLU case. ACLU-TN is arguing that the new ordinance, as well, is an unconstitutional restriction on the rights to free speech and press. This case is pending.
Case Name: Williams v. City of Sevierville
ACLU-TN Coop. Atty: Tim Housholder, Gilreath and Associates (Knoxville) (Direct Representation)
Plaintiffs: Rose Williams
Defendants: City of Sevierville
In the fall of 2010, Ms. Williams decided to expand her fortune telling business to a storefront location in Sevierville, TN. She entered into a lease for a retail store in the downtown area in September 2010, but has been unable to open her fortune telling business as the City has threatened zoning enforcement (fines and shuttering of the business) because of specific restrictions placed on fortune telling businesses. Because she was not allowed to practice fortune telling at this location, she tried to make use of this space by selling retail items (crystals, books, etc.) however, the business was not sufficiently profitable and she was forced to close it in December 2010. Since that time she has been paying a lease for a business she has been unable to operate.
Regulating fortune telling through zoning laws is the latest effort by many small towns in the south to prohibit fortune telling speech. While not a total ban on this category of speech as ACLU-TN has tackled in the past (see Daly v. City of Dickson (2004); Wohfeil v. City of East Ridge (2010)), regulating this category of speech by zoning laws seems to be nothing more than a creative end run around the fact that fortune telling is protected First Amendment activity that cannot be prohibited despite the objections of many cities for moral and/or religious reasons.
On June 16, 2011, ACLU-TN filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee at Knoxville, to protect the free speech rights of fortune teller Rose Williams. This case is currently pending.
Fair Treatment of Immigrants
Case Name:Nunez Escobar, et. al., v. Gaines, et. al.,
ACLU-TN Coop. Atty and Co-Counsel: Andre Segura, Lee Gelemt, Cecillia Wang (ACLU-IRP);
Matthew J. Piers, Jose J. Behar,Jenna L. Miara of
Plaintiffs: Angel Enrique Nunez Escobar, et. al.,
Defendants: Lee Gaines, et. al.,
On October 19, 2011, ACLU-TN filed suit on behalf of 15 individuals affected by a large scale coordinated law enforcement raid on a predominately Latino apartment complex in Nashville. The lawsuit alleges that the raid was the culmination of a conspiracy between ICE, MNPD, apartment complex owner Tritex Real Estate Advisers, and apartment complex management company Greystar to "clean house" and rid the Clairmont Apartments of Latino residents. This discriminatory effort began with apartment managers' intentional efforts to let the conditions of the apartments deteriorate into unlivable conditions. Management routinely ignored tenants' complaints about chronic maintenance problems, water leaks, lack of essential services, mold problems and widespread pest infestation. Management instructed maintenance workers to treat apartments differently based on whether the residents were Latino.
The lawsuit alleges that in furtherance of this conspiracy and under the guise of searching for alleged gang members, numerous defendants jointly developed a detailed plan to rid the apartment complex of some of its Latino residents. As was the plan, no arrest or search warrants were ever obtained for any resident or alleged gang members at the Clairmont on October 20, 2010. Instead, without judicial or administrative warrants, ICE, supported by MNPD, stopped, detained and arrested over twenty individuals based on their ethnicity, skin color, and physical appearance without cause or consent and in violation of their constitutional rights. This case is pending.
Open Records
Case Name: Richard Jones v. City of Memphis, et al.
ACLU-TN Coop. Atty: Eddie Schmidt, Nashville, TN, Law Offices of Eddie Schmidt (Direct Representation)
Defendants: City of Memphis; Bridgett Handy-Clay, Public Records Coordinator; Jill Madajczky, Senior Assistant City Attorney
The issue presented here is whether the Tennessee Public Records Act, by providing access to public records to citizens of Tennessee but not to non-citizens of Tennessee, discriminates against non-citizens by violating the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV, section 2, of the United States Constitution.
This is ACLU-TN's second attempt to challenge the unconstitutional provisions of this law. ACLU-TN has been monitoring this situation and has been made aware of at least seven different circumstances where the TN citizen only requirement of TN's open records law is being used a method to stall, delay or deny people access to open records. In our previous attempt to litigate this matter, the TN Attorney General ordered all records released to our client (mooting out our claims on the morning of anticipated filing) and modified their interpretation of TN law to allow the citizens only provision to be fulfilled in the out of state resident retained the services of a TN barred attorney. This case is pending.
Religious Freedom
Case Name: ACLU-TN v. Sumner County Board of Education
ACLU-TN Coop. Atty: George Barrett and Scott Tift, Barrett Johnston, PLLC (Nashville) (Direct Representation)
Plaintiffs: ACLU-TN and four families of Sumner County students
Defendants: Sumner County Board of Education, Director of Schools, Benny Bills, Individual School Board Members and Principals.
ACLU-TN spent 18 months investigating what appeared to be a widespread entanglement of religion in the Sumner County schools. Ultimately, after several months of unsuccessful negotiations, ACLU-TN filed suit on May 2, 2011, on behalf of nine students from four families. The lawsuit alleges a pattern and practice of the promotion and endorsement of religious activity dating back as early as 2006. The allegations include teachers leading students in prayer and Bible study sessions; the opening of the schools to youth ministers who spoke of their church frequently at student lunch tables; the distribution of Bibles during instructional time; the display of a cross on a classroom wall; preferential treatment of religious organizations in their ability to distribute materials to students; songs at school musical performances being predominantly religious; graduation and other school events being held at churches; and the opening of school board meetings with prayer. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is representing the defendants. After an intense discovery period, ACLU-TN and the Sumner County Board of Education entered into a Consent Decree on December 8, 2011 settling all substantive claims. The case remains active while we litigate the attorney fees issues.

Scribe William Monahan ("The Departed," "Kingdom of Heaven") will pen a fact-based thriller for Paramount Pictures says Variety.
Based on a Playboy article by Hillel Levin, the story follows Jim Keene, the son of a police chief who was arrested for dealing drugs.
As an alternative to a 10 years-to-life sentence, he was allowed to go undercover at a maximum security hospital for the criminally insane.
The he cozied up to a man authorities believed murdered 25 young women and tried to get him to divulge the whereabouts of his victims.
Only the prison psychiatrist knew Keene was undercover, plus a visiting "girlfriend" who was actually an FBI agent.
Monahan also wrote the upcoming thrillers "Body of Lies", "Nothing in the World" and recently signed to adapt a remake of hit Korean film "The Chaser".

Standing at the edge of the Danube on a cold spring day, gazing at darkening clouds above the picturesque church of Spitz that is set against a natural bowl of steep terraced hillsides lined with vines, it would be so easy to imagine that you are actually looking backward through time. Other than the modern highway snaking past this little village at the northern end of Austria's Wachau wine region, some barely visible power lines, and the occasional hum of aircraft, not much seems to have changed since the 13th century, when countless hands built these stone terraces that now contain some of Austria's most precious natural resources. So precious that the entire Wachau has been designated a World Heritage site.
The feeling of looking back through centuries, as one might look through an exceptionally clear mountain stream, doesn't fade upon the approach to a light grey-blue house encrusted with ivy that is set back from the street upon rough-hewn cobbles. The 600 year-old house bears all the signs of meticulous and loving care through its history, and most certainly in its last five generations of ownership by a family named Hirtzberger.
This house is home to Weingut Franz Hirtzberger in every sense of the word "home." It is both a dwelling and a cellar, and the soul of this multi-generational winemaking family who, for several decades, have been making some of the best wines in Austria.
Light flurries of snow descended from the gunmetal grey sky as I knocked on the door of this ancient house a few months ago and was met by the younger Franz Hirtzberger. He led the way through the stone foyer and around to the back of the house where, quite literally in the back yard, the vineyard known as the Singerriedel arcs up and away across the steep, terraced hillside.
Following a path out of the small walled garden we began a steep climb of switchbacks among the stone terraces, their gnarled vines, and the tiny flakes of ice falling from the sky. This climb, winding among stones that have gripped the hillside for centuries, reinforces the sense of a journey through time, as does the knowledge that I'm speaking with the eighth in a long chain of winemakers bearing the name Franz Hirtzberger.
"There would have been nine," he says with a grin, "if there hadn't been one Herbert stuck in there several generations ago."
Hirtzberger points out the meticulous stonework of the terraces, for which his family can take no credit, other than their dedication to ensuring that they come to no harm. One to two meters wide, and a little more than a meter high in most places, most contain a single row of vines on the top of the terrace, scrabbled into a shallow of eroded schist. In certain places, a second row of vines has been squeezed into the terrace -- not standing vertically next to its fellows -- but protruding sideways from the face of the terrace and then turning vertical in a remarkable economy of space.
The Hirtzberger family purchased its first vineyards in the village of Spitz in the late 1800s, farming between 8 and 15 acres for almost a century before Franz Hirtzberger (the father of the young man with the same name standing next to me on the steep hillside) expanded the family's holdings to close to sixty acres in the early Eighties. This was around about the same time that he helped rescue the entire Austrian wine industry.
In 1985, the Austrian wine market basically collapsed in the wake of a scandal in which a number of the country's largest producers were busted for doctoring their wines with a rather nasty chemical called diethylene glycol to improve their texture and sweetness. Up until this point, most Austrian wines had leaned towards the sweeter end of the spectrum.
Hirtzberger, along with one or two other small producers in the Wachau got together to form an organization known as Vinea Wachau, and published a manifesto (PDF), one of the tenets of which was a focus on making completely dry wines. This organization was responsible for spearheading the creation of the regional wine quality designations of Steinfeder, Federspiel and Smaragd.
Appearing only in the Wachau, these designations can be confusing to the uninitiated, but essentially boil down to how ripe the grapes were when picked, and therefore what the resulting alcohol levels of the wine will be. Steinfeder wines can only have a maximum alcohol level of 11.5%. Federspiel wines are made from riper grapes and weigh in between 11.5% and 12.5% alcohol, while Smaragd (pronounced "smarr-ogg-dh") wines must have been picked ripe enough to yield at least 12.5% alcohol. Numbers aside, these designations can generally suggest how full bodied and rich the wine will be, with Steinfelder on the lighter crisper side, Smaragd on the more lush end of the spectrum, and Federspiel in the middle.
The work of Vinea Wachau and Hirtzberger's tireless promotion of real quality winemaking served as a lifeline to the Austrian wine industry in its darkest hour.
Other than the family's expansion of land holdings, and the renovation of the house's basement into a rather modern and showy cellar, very little has changed at Hirtzberger as the reigns have been handed from one Franz to another over the decades.
"I've been running the cellar and the vineyards for the last five years," says the young Hirtzberger, "and my parents will likely retire in the next two or three years. I don't plan on changing anything, and the best scenario is that the customer notices no changes when my father finally retires." While Hirtzberger has a brother and a sister, both seem to have followed paths out of the wine industry, leaving the continuation of the family's legacy to him and his wife.
The family recipe for wine, if you will, goes something like this: farm with very little of anything added to the vines except water, eschewing most chemical inputs; harvest grapes "rather ripe," and protect the fruit by moving fast through the vineyard with a decades-old harvest team of about 15 people comprised of retirees, housewives, and family friends who all know the vineyards intimately and understand the family's exacting standards for quality; make two or three passes through the vineyards, harvesting fruit at various levels of sugar depending on the strength of the site; ferment in stainless steel with ambient yeasts to the point of dryness, and then age in a mix of old oak casks and stainless steel tanks before bottling.
The simplicity of this approach allows the wines to have a transparency of place and a complexity that simply astonish.
Out of the cold, in the family's cozy dining room, Hirtzberger took me through most of the winery's upcoming releases that were due to be bottled within the next month or two. At the moment, most of these wines are available in their 2010 vintages, which, to my limited tasting elsewhere, are tremendous.

Why I Don't Give Up
I've been a Minnesota sports fan (Twins & Vikings, primarily) since the late 1990s. Since that point, I have learned two undeniable facts:
1. The Vikings will ALWAYS let you down. Even when you think they couldn't possibly let you down any worse, they go out and do that exact thing. Case in point…
2. The Twins will NEVER completely let you down. Yes, they may lose in the playoffs to the Yankees every #$%^&*! year, but at least they play hard and give it everything they have:
If the Twins are somehow able to get back into this division race by the end of the season, it would truly be their most incredible feat ever, I think.
This is why I don't give up. Why I continued watching the blown leads and blow-outs in April and May, night after night. Because until the Twins are mathematically dead and buried, they HAVE to be accounted for and every team in the division will second that notion.
They used to play this old video up on the Jumbotron at the Metrodome, and it really sums up the '11 Twins to this point:
THAT is why I don't give up!!
Preview (29-39, 5th, 1.0 GB KCR): Tim Stauffer (2-4, 3.28) vs. Scott Baker (4-4, 3.55).
Was It Over When The Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor? NO!
At the old Metrodome, when the Twins were down going into the final inning, this pump-up video would play on the Jumbotron:
C'mon Twins…don't go down meekly again!

Hotel Drosophila: you can check out, but you can never leave
If you have a fruit fly infestation in your kitchen, like the one we've been having for the last several days, here's a way to get rid of them without insecticides.
Get a small plastic container, put some pieces of partially rotten fruit in it and then leave it with the lid off on a counter top where the fruit flies are loitering. Now leave the room for a while, say, 20 minutes. When you return, there will be a bunch of them Drosophila in the container. Pick up the lid and bring it very slowly to the container—the fruit flies seem to have good eye sight and/or are very sensitive to any movements around them—and when the lid is just about over the opening, bring it down quickly to seal the container. Take the container outside, open the lid and release the prisoners, then bring the container back in and repeat the process until the numbers of the flies come down to a tolerable level (you can't eliminate them all).
Here is my Drosophila Motel (patent pending, of course!) named after the famous Roach Motel. The suckers inside will soon be deported. The red-stained paper was from a raspberry box.
Yes, you may have to repeat the process several times, but, hey, would you rather spray your kitchen with an insecticide?

Born in Scotland, Aiden McGeady chose to represent the Republic of Ireland and has been a regular in the team under Giovanni Trapattoni, featuring in all 12 UEFA EURO 2012 qualifiers. After several years with Celtic FC, the pacy winger joined Russian club FC Spartak Moskva in 2010.
• Came through the youth ranks at Celtic and was identified as a special talent at an early age, scoring on his senior debut shortly after his 18th birthday in a Scottish Premier League game against Heart of Midlothian FC.
• Won his first senior cap for Ireland two months later in a friendly against Jamaica but did not feature regularly in the side until the UEFA EURO 2008 qualifying competition.
• Became a regular in Martin O'Neill's final season in charge as Celtic manager, making 27 SPL appearances and winning the 2005 Scottish Cup; subsequently won a hat-trick of SPL titles under O'Neill's successor, Gordon Strachan, and also appeared in three successive UEFA Champions League campaigns, scoring his first European goal in a 2007/08 group game at home to SL Benfica.
• Left Celtic, after an impressive 2009/10 season, for Spartak, becoming Scottish football's most expensive export in a reported €11.6m move; scored two goals in 11 starts in his first half-season.
• Finally scored his first goal for Ireland − on his 38th appearance − in a UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier at home to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia then repeated the feat in a 2-0 win in Andorra as he proved a key figure in the team's first qualification for a major tournament for a decade.

Modern material design increasingly relies on controlling small scale morphologies. Multi-block polymers are well suited to this as they can provide highly tunable structures with applications ranging from structural materials to specialized uses such as fuel cells and separation membranes.
Several unique microstructures can be formed from even a two component, diblock, polymer. Systems with more components present a much richer array of morphologies, allowing even more control over properties. With this flexibly comes the key challenge of relating the polymer components to the resulting microstructures.
Experimentally exploring this set of possibilities is very time- and resource- intensive. Computational simulation provides an efficient way to address this challenge. We have developed computational techniques and high performance computing that will enable us to virtually model multi-block polymer systems. This project will explore explore multi-block polymer systems to identify promising structures and create a road map for materials design.

A mountain lion attack early Wednesday morning nearly cost a dog its life. The attack happened near Surprise Valley, a neighborhood in Boise, Id. Fish and Game officials told NWCN that the dog was treated for a small puncture wound on the shoulder that it sustained as result of the attack. The animal was treated and released at a local vet clinic and it is expected to make a full recovery.
Although the animal that attacked the 5-pound Maltese was identified as a mountain lion, Fish and Game officials have not confirmed this as of yet but they are investigating the incident. Although evidence of a mountain lion in the area haven't been noticed so far, officials have spotted coyote, deer, and dog tracks.
A woman living in the neighborhood where the alleged attack occurred told news outlets that she believes she saw a mountain lion near her backyard Wednesday morning.
Marie Biaggne said:
"Just before I pulled the screen back to let him out, I saw him and he was right here and the color was like a mountain lion," Biaggne expressed. "I did not see it's head but I saw the back of his body and of course the dogs came running out and the little one barked and barked like he's never barked before and chased him up to the gate, and I saw him go over the gate and I did not see him after that."
The attack was reported around 6:30 a.m. after the child of a homeowner heard their small dog making a yelping noise. The child's parents were alerted of the attack when the boy started yelling. Apparently, the animal was frightened by the boy's screams, which caused it to release the dog from the grip of its powerful jaws. By the time the child's parents made it to the scene, the animal had vanished.
Mountain lion attacks in the area are not an unfamiliar occurrence. Earlier this year, two dogs accompanying a mountain biker were attacked by a mountain lion. The next day, a jogger with a dog reported a frightening encounter with a cougar just a short distance from the previous sighting. Officials still haven't found neither of the big cats in those cases.
A notice about the attack was posted to the Surprise Valley Homeowners Association and it read: "Please keep a close eye on ALL children and pet.Call police at 377-6790 immediately if you see a mountain lion."

Delta Sigma Chi "Delts"
- Founded: 1962
- Colors: Navy Blue and White with a touch of Gold
- Motto: Dianoias Stephanos Chryseos "the crown of wisdom is golden"
- Community Service: 24 hour Dance-A-Thon, Heart Walk
There isn't really one way to describe an active member of Delta Sigma Chi- and we like it that way! No two Delts dressed in their navy blue and white are exactly alike, but what they share is a bond that goes deeper than the letters on their shirt. What they share is a common spirit, pride in their society and dedication to the humility of blue, the purity of white and the wisdom of gold. Promoting our sisterhood and simultaneously applauding our differences, we pride ourselves on our diversity as a group on campus. We are involved members of many other student organizations, athletic teams, and academic honoraries, and while we may be affiliated with other groups, our connection to Delta Sigma Chi remains important to each member. Our devotion to our sisters is unwavering and our love for the history, memories and songs of our society is forever.
Euglossian Society "Eugs"
- Founded: 1913
- Colors: Royal Purple and White
- Motto: Astra Castra Numen Lumen "The stars our campground, divinity our light"
- Community Service: Blood Drive, Blanket out Domestic Violence
The Euglossian Society was formed after the Hesperian Society was split into two groups that would become the Euglossian and the Philalethean Societies. The name Euglossian stems from a Greek term meaning "fluency of tongue" and our colors, purple and white, stand for royalty and purity. The Euglossian flowers are the purple violet for modesty and the white rose for majesty. Our mascot is the skunk. Our slogan is "Modest, Pure, and Loving Quite," and we strive to live our lives accordingly. An important philosophy for all Euglossians is that we are "Eugnited but Eugnique." We embrace each member's individuality, and at the same time rejoice in the common bond we share in the spirit of Euglossia. Each semester you can see the Eugs hosting their semi-annual blood drive through the American Red Cross and they just started a new service-relationship with the Tiffin Battered Womens' Shelter where they donate blankets and other goods after a 24-hour drive called "Blanket Out Domestic Violence." The Eugs would like to encourage all students to check out Greek Life and, if they find their fit, to GO GREEK!
Kappa Psi Omega "Kappas"
- Founded: 1968
- Colors: Burgundy and White
- Motto: Sincerity Our Truth, Individuality Our Goal
- Community Service: Elmwood Nursing Home, Supporting Women's Empowerment
The Kappas are represented in virtually every aspect of campus life, including academic honoraries, campus organizations, musical ensembles, theater and athletics. As a group we unite our talents to provide service to the campus and community. We proudly represent our symbols of the ladybug, strawberry and trilogy, as well as our flower the daisy. We are really looking forward to getting to know all prospective and we wish you the best of luck. Remember to keep an open mind and GO GREEK!
Philalethean Society "Phis"
- Founded: 1913
- Colors: Emerald Green and Gold
- Motto: Do Ye Beste
- Community Service: Head Start Christmas, Community Leaf Rake
In 1913, the Hesperian Society split into two groups: the Philalethean Society and the Euglossian Society. The Phis are a diverse group, built upon tradition and the true meaning of sisterhood. True to our motto, "Do Ye Beste," the Philalethean Society has continually strived to bring each individual member to a realization of herself, and to a fuller development of a life of purpose. Consequently, this aim has developed, in all of our members, the inclination to put forth our "beste" efforts for the society and the college community.We stress the importance of individuals working together toward a common goal. This is why the Phis are so actively involved on and off campus. We partake in several community projects, such as the Head Start Christmas party, and leaf raking for the elderly, to just names a few. We also help with move-in day for freshmen, and local churches when needed. Other yearly events include, but are not limited to, Greek Sing, Homecoming Events, date parties, New Member Education, Greek Week, and our annual Spring Banquet. The women of the Philalethean Society hope that everyone has an exciting year at Heidelberg. We encourage all students to get involved in as many activities and organizations as possible. Most importantly, discover a whole new side of the 'Berg by taking a peek into Greek Life.
Zeta Theta Psi "Zetas"
- Founded: 2013
- Colors: Crimson and Silver
- Motto: We rise from the depths, immovable, an eternal knot of fire.
- Community Service: True Beauty Day
Zeta Theta Psi was recently welcomed into the Heidelberg community and is the newest Greek society. Zeta Theta Psi is a society that strives to empower sophisticated ladies while inspiring an unwavering confidence, encouraging a well-rounded collegiate experience, and respecting all members of the community. We celebrate life, bravery, individuality, and above all, the bonds of sisterhood.

[Announce] Lightweight emulation environment for Slackware/ARM applications
Cédric VINCENT <cedric.vincent <at> gmail.com>
Hello, I'm pleased to announce you PRoot (http://proot.me), a new tool that requires no privilege nor setup to: * run Slackware/ARM applications on your Linux/PC thanks to a CPU emulator like QEMU user-mode ("binfmt_misc" equivalent); * isolate these ARM applications inside the Slackware/ARM root file-system ("chroot" equivalent); and * make some host files accessible inside this guest root file-system ("mount --bind" equivalent). It's a kind of "lightweight emulation environment" since QEMU user-mode emulates the guest CPU only: all requests to devices are redirected to the host device drivers (file-system, network, ...). Let's see an example: the command below runs on a Linux/PC the Slackware/ARM program "/bin/sh" -- and all of its sub-programs -- through the specified QEMU: $ proot -Q qemu-arm /path/to/armedslack-rootfs/ Since there's no difference between this emulated environment and a native ARM environment (beside devices), you can use PRoot+QEMU to develop, debug, and test embedded applications seamlessly on our Linux/PC. Here is my favorite example: Perl is known not to be cross-compilable, however there's no problem to build Perl for Slackware/ARM on your Linux/PC with PRoot+QEMU (the prompts were changed for readability purpose): <linux-x86>$ proot -Q qemu-arm /path/to/armedslack-rootfs/ <armedslack>$ cd perl-5.14.2 <armedslack>$ ./Configure -de <armedslack>$ make <armedslack>$ make check There's a lot of things to say about PRoot and if you are curious I invite you to have a look at the following "Examples" section: http://proot.me/#examples If you have some questions and/or comments, I will be pleased to answer you either in this thread if they are related to Slackware/ARM, or in PRoot mailing-list/forum otherwise. Note that PRoot works on any host Linux distro and with any guest Linux distro, so you may wonder why I make an announce on this mailing-list? Actually PRoot was developed on Slackware64 and heavily tested with Slackware/ARM; Also, I'm expecting some interesting questions/comments from Slackware users/developers ;) Regards, Cédric. _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack <at> lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack

The Reds stayed second bottom of the Championship as two first half goals cost them in a 2-0 loss at Wigan Athletic on Tuesday night.
Young right-back Ryan McLaughlin was put back into the team earlier than expected after injury, due to a problem with Jack Hunt, and looked totally unfit and off the pace as both goals came from his flank.
McLaughlin was nowhere to be seen as Jean Beausejour beat Jim O'Brien and Martin Woods on the left before firing in a cross which Nicky Maynard tapped in on 36 minutes.
It was 2-0 just before the break when James McLean exploited McLaughlin's failings yet again and floated in a cross that was superbly headed home by Martyn Waghorn.
Danny Wilson took off McLaughlin and top-scorer Chris O'Grady at half-time and brought on Brek Shea and Lewin Nyatanga, who played at left-back with Tom Kennedy going to right-back.
It was a much quieter second half as Wigan seemed to settle for the 2-0 win and Barnsley struggled to create clear-cut chances.
Yeovil's draw at home to Watford keeps them bottom of the league but they are just one point behind the 23rd-placed Reds who are five adrift of Millwall with the Lions set to visit Oakwell on Saturday.

Welcome to the Acoustic Guitar Community.
I wanted to introduce myself a little and let all of you know how I got here.
I started playing the guitar about 20 years ago. My first guitar was a Washburn, but I don't remember the Model Number, only that it retailed for about $150.00 circa 1991 or so. I traded that guitar in for a much nicer one in December 1992. The reason I remember the exact date is that I recently divorced causing a mov…

Too bad the resolution is not that clear when export as image, but you can see how happy she is even though is just a short session.
According to Malaysia latest news, it is said that one of the most googled keyword phrases by Malaysians is "Malay x-ray room".
Yes, the notorious video clips featuring a Malay couple doing naughty stuff inside an X-Ray room of a local hospital. Both video clips featuring a typical gadis Melayu (Malay lady) wearing Baju Kurung and tudung (headgear) and her plump male partner.
Watch the video and you know the convenience of wearing Baju Kurung, when you want a quickie. Just pull up the long loose skirt and roll down your undies.
You don't need to waste time downloading from Torrents, Rapidshare or Megaload. Just go to adult site like Hamster and you can watch those two clips of gadis Melayu bertudung and her fat man in action.
A VIDEO clip showing a couple having sex in an X-ray room in a hospital in Kuala Lumpur has become a hot topic, coming on the heels of the bedroom photos of Bukit Lanjan assemblyman Elizabeth Wong.
Kosmo! in its front page reported that the video clip was recorded by the couple "as a rememberance of their passionate moments together".
It also published a picture of them making love.
The man, believed to be a hospital employee, had sneaked his tudung-clad girlfriend into the X-ray room recently for the amorous tryst.
Their "performance" is now circulating not only in the Internet but from handphone to handphone.
According to Kosmo!, the six-minute clip shows, among other things, the woman stripping her sarong before her lover, clad in a pink shirt and black pants, performs sexual acts with her.

Gorgeous new Essence of Australia gown for sale. I bought two wedding gowns, and one has to find a new home. This dress was purchased from a small bridal store in Monroe, WI as a sample gown on clearance. Unfortunately, the design number and tags were removed as soon as I paid for the dress, so I'm not sure exactly what the design number is. The dress is fully lined with a slight crinoline at the bottom of the skirt to enhance the bell-shape of the gown. There is substantial boning and cup support inside the bodice, which means no additional cups need to be sewn in. The dress has this gorgeous lace overlay, with beading and embroidered detail throughout the gown, but more heavily detailed at the bust and hem. There is a slight sweep train, but nothing overwhelming. This is perfect for a simple summer ceremony or a destination wedding. The dress laces up in back, and comes with a privacy panel. There is also an amazing detachable lace train. The train connects to the gown with two snaps on the back. It's a nice way to add detail during the ceremony, but removes so you won't need to bustle the gown either. I had planned to detach the train and use it as a veil, since it matches perfectly. The gown is a sample size 10. In the photos, I am typically a 0/2. There were minimal clamps (mostly to cinch the hips in) on the gown in those photos. Since the back laces, it really works for a wide range of sizes. The dress was originally marked at $1299. I bought it on clearance for $800 and am asking for $550. This is less than half the original price for a brand new gown.
- Alterations: No alterations have been done. I simply purchased two gowns and the other dress works best with my venue.
- Preservation Method: The dress has been stored in a garment bag but has not been preserved.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner:
- Has Original Receipt:
- Location: fitchburg, WI
- Will Ship to: Anywhere at Buyer Expense
- Payment Methods Accepted: Other

Apply for Innovation Community
The innovateNJ Community application is open twice per academic year:
Summer 2015 Fall 2015 Announcements
Winter 2016 Spring 2016 Announcements
The Application is now open.
The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) is pleased to announce the establishment of the innovateNJ Community – the central component of the state's innovateNJ initiative to help foster, support and scale district and school innovation across the state. It is our fundamental belief that innovation in education is imperative if we are not only to continuously improve the learning experience and outcomes for our students, but if we are to keep pace with an ever-changing world to ensure that students are prepared for the future. Our guiding principle in supporting this work is that innovation occurs best not through top-down mandates, but by bringing together like-minded educators and administrators in an environment of openness and collaboration and providing them with the resources and support needed to explore, implement and scale next generation models of teaching and learning.
From these core beliefs is born the innovateNJ Community - a network of districts and schools that share a passion for improving outcomes for students through innovation. In keeping with our guiding principle, the work of the innovateNJ Community will be driven largely by its member districts and schools, with guidance and support from NJDOE. This application will serve to identify the first cohort of members in the innovateNJ Community. Membership is voluntary and is open to all districts across the state who satisfactorily complete this application and demonstrate a commitment to the following organizing tenets:
To apply to become a member of this community of innovators, please complete and submit the application form (PDF) to firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are interested in the work of the innovateNJ Community but are not sure if you are ready to commit to joining at this time, do not worry, there will be opportunities in the future to become a member and NJDOE will provide updates on the community's work on the new innovateNJweb site. If you have any questions please contact us at: email@example.com.
