It's a bleak scenario. A massive earthquake along the New Madrid fault kills or injures 60,000 people in Tennessee. A quarter of a million people are homeless. The Memphis airport – the country's biggest air terminal for packages – goes off-line. Major oil and gas pipelines across Tennessee rupture, causing shortages in the Northeast. In Missouri, another 15,000 people are hurt or dead. Cities and towns throughout the central U.S. lose power and water for months. Losses stack up to hundreds of billions of dollars.
Fortunately, this magnitude 7.7 temblor is not real but rather a scenario imagined by the Mid-America Earthquake Center and the Institute for Crisis, Disaster and Risk Management at George Washington University. The goal of their 2008 analysis was to plan for a modern recurrence of quakes that happened along the New Madrid fault more than 200 years ago, in 1811 and 1812.
No one alive has experienced a major earthquake in the Midwest, yet geologists say it's only a matter of time. That puts a lot of uncertainty on disaster officials. Their earthquake precautions – quake-resistant building codes, for example – have never been reality tested. Some question if enough has been done to strengthen existing buildings, schools and other infrastructure. It is difficult to prepare for a geological catastrophe the public cannot see and has never experienced.
"We mostly react to disasters, and it's been extremely rare that we get ahead of things," said Claire Rubin, a disaster response specialist in Arlington, Va. "A lot of hard problems don't get solved. They get moved around and passed along."
Steven L. Lueker is among disaster response officials who worry about the New Madrid fault and another fault to the north, in the Wabash Valley. He's the emergency management coordinator for Jefferson County in Southern Illinois, and he rattles off likely impact statistics. One of the most important: The New Madrid fault is expected to generate a large-scale earthquake within the next 50 years.
"I may not be here when it happens," said Lueker. "Or it may happen while we're talking. You don't know."
When it does happen, Lueker said Mount Vernon, the Jefferson County seat, likely will be a staging area for support flowing into Tennessee and Missouri – unless the Mount Vernon airport itself is too damaged. He doesn't – can't – know.
Uncertainty is the maddening aspect of earthquakes. They can't be predicted, even very big ones. We know they happen frequently along the earth's tectonic plates. We also know there are no such plates in the central United States, yet that part of the country has had major earthquakes in three zones: the New Madrid fault, which on computer models looks like Harry Potter's scar slashing across Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee; the Wabash Valley fault in Illinois and Indiana; and the East Tennessee Seismic Zone that runs into Alabama.
These are not like the faults in California, which last had a major earthquake in 1994, when the magnitude 6.7 Northridge temblor killed 57 people and caused $20 billion in damages. The mid-continent faults rupture less often; New Madrid gets the shakes maybe 200 times a year, about a tenth the number in California. And earthquakes in the central United States tend to be smaller. The New Madrid fault appears to have a big rupture every 300 years or so; the Wabash Valley has one perhaps every 500 years.
But when quakes do hit the central United States, geology means they are felt much farther away, because the Earth's crust in the region does not absorb the shock waves in the way it does in the Western United States. "The Northridge earthquake was barely felt in Las Vegas, 250 miles away," said Gary Patterson, director of education and outreach at the Center for Earthquake Research and Information at the University of Memphis. "Here, a large quake would be felt 1,200 miles away in Canada."
Not everyone thinks the New Madrid fault will produce another big earthquake. Seth Stein, a geologist at Northwestern University, has argued that the small quakes occurring along the fault are not the kind that suggest the earth is gathering energy for a large one.
"He's a smart guy," said Patterson. "But it's interesting that you have to go 500 miles away from the fault to find a scientist who disagrees with the consensus" that another New Madrid quake is inevitable.
At the same time, Patterson and others concede it is difficult to explain why the faults in the central United States are active at all.
Disaster preparedness officials – encouraged by the federal and state governments – are getting ready for a large quake anyway. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) sponsors events like the Great Shake-Out and Earthquakes Mean Business, instructing communities and businesses the protective mantra of, "Drop, Cover and Hold On."
Disaster officials also collaborate on regional drills. The Mid-America Earthquake Center's 2008 scenario is one example. Another is the Central United States Earthquake Consortium, a planning agency that represents eight states, which is scheduling a large-scale exercise next year.
Earthquake preparedness is not always widely embraced, however, at least as a matter of policy. Developers in Memphis and Shelby County, Tenn., for example, are engaged in a protracted debate over whether to update the local building code to require tougher material standards such as framing clips that help secure a house's frame to its foundation. Engineers say the costs of including this hardware in homes would be minimal. The developers think otherwise.
What's not in dispute is that the region's building codes are untested. Almost every state that would be affected by a quake on the New Madrid fault has a building code. But building codes have only been earthquake-oriented for 20 years or so. And there hasn't been a magnitude 6 or greater earthquake in the area since 1895, when a 6.7 hit in Charleston, Missouri.
Even people uninitiated in earthquakes are somewhat prepared, according to FEMA, based on experience with other disasters including tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and wildfires.
That may be true, but earthquakes present their own complications, said Amr S. Elnashai, outgoing director of the Mid-America Earthquake Center at the University of Illinois. Earthquakes have aftershocks and cause landslides, for example.
For all its planning, said Elnashai, "the Midwest is more aware but it is not better prepared." There has not been much work to improve and retrofit pipelines, most buildings, or critical facilities like schools, banks and chemical plants.
The region is also unprepared for the politics of response. A large-scale New Madrid earthquake could devastate portions of Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, and Tennessee. These states are members of the consortium that is preparing for a major disaster in the Midwest.
The clear problem will be allocating resources. Would Memphis and St. Louis get most of the attention after a major earthquake, while small towns and vast rural areas are just as badly affected?
"For a small community like Marion, Ill., versus a Bloomington, Ind., versus a Paducah, Ky., who gets those resources? Who makes the decision?" said James M. Wilkinson Jr., the consortium's executive director. The consortium has started to address those questions.
In the end, preparedness only gets us so far, said Lueker, the emergency management director in Jefferson County, Ill. He noted what happened in 2011 on the northeast coast of earthquake-prone Japan, where some who heard sirens going off after a magnitude 9.0 quake still stood and watched an approaching tsunami.
"They're the best-trained people in the world, and they still died," he said. "As well trained as those people are, it makes me wonder how well we can be prepared."

Luoyang TV
September 19, 2011, in Luoyang, China
Unidentified assailants fatally stabbed Li, 30, at least 10 times early in the morning, news reports said. Police told reporters that the journalist's laptop, camera, and wallet were stolen during the assault.
News accounts reported that Li may have been targeted for his coverage of a recent food scandal involving the recycling of waste oil into cooking oil. Police had arrested 32 people and confiscated 100 tons of the carcinogenic product known as "gutter oil" from Henan and two other provinces, according to Agence France-Presse. In his last microblog post, Li highlighted a discrepancy between the illegal oil manufacturing reported in Henan and the findings of local food safety officials who had denied the existence of such illicit production, news reports said.
Police arrested two suspects on September 21. Local news reports said the motive was robbery, although a police spokesperson told AFP the case was still under investigation.
Motive Unconfirmed: CPJ is investigating to determine whether the death was work-related.

Maxis explains what went wrong with SimCity and what the developer is doing to fix it
Since SimCity's launch on Tuesday, the game's always-online experience has been marred by severe technical issues. For many players, it rendered the game unplayable. For others, SimCity's connection problems meant long waits, lost cities and frustrating disconnects.
SimCity developer Maxis says its efforts to increase server capacity are working, allowing more players to get into the game and reducing the number of "disrupted experiences."
In an email interview with Polygon this evening, Maxis general manager Lucy Bradshaw says the entire studio — with additional help from across Electronic Arts — "has been against this challenge 24/7, working in shifts since the moment issues were being reported by our community." Additional SimCity servers are being deployed to bear the load, but simply adding more hardware will not fix the game's current problems.
"We have teams producing new servers, but we've identified that many of our issues were related to how [SimCity's] GlassBox [engine] managed the vast amount of simulation data through its database," Bradshaw explained. "We've addressed that and we've seen an 80% decrease in connectivity or responsiveness issues.
"Still, 80% is not good enough and so we are continuing to aggressively address this area."
Bradshaw said Maxis expects to see "great stability in the game" this weekend. Added server capacity, along with software improvements, is resulting in positive progress, she said.
"Our number one priority is to give our fans the SimCity they deserve as soon as humanly possible"
As for what went wrong in the first place, Bradshaw says it was a combination of factors, primarily driven by overwhelming demand.
"A lot more people logged on than we expected," Bradshaw explained. "More people played and played in ways we never saw in the beta."
Participation in SimCity's beta, Bradshaw said, along with other "demand metrics," helped determine how many servers Maxis estimated it needed at launch. But the release of SimCity this week brought with it unexpected demand and unforeseen technical challenges. Maxis' estimates were too conservative, it turns out.
"What we underestimated was a huge surge in pre-orders within the last week and the power of the great word-of-mouth created by the media and our community," Bradshaw said.
It wasn't just the number of players either, Bradshaw explained, as SimCity's servers performed differently once the game was released to the "wild ecosystem of live operations."
"We test and work out the capacity load of each server in load testing and through our beta events," she continued. "We have seen play behavior and load in areas that have stressed our game server [databases] in ways that we did not experience in Beta or Load Test.
Upon release, Maxis discovered that player capacity per server wound up being lower than anticipated in a live environment, Bradshaw said. The developer has applied fixes and optimizations, both on the client and server side, to address that.
Given similarly disastrous launch week issues that affected online games like Blizzard's Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft, and Call of Duty's Elite service, why weren't EA and Maxis better prepared for this, I asked.
"Each game launch is very different and it's not as simple as saying we didn't have enough capacity," Bradshaw said. "A perfect storm of highly technical issues related to MASSIVE demand cannot be anticipated, only addressed. We are committed to making this right."
What Maxis can't do, despite fan requests, Bradshaw said, is simply strip out the always-online architecture of the game.
"An online interconnected world has been part of our design philosophy since day one," she said. "It's the game that we've been wanting to create since SimCity 4 as we've wanted to explore the dynamics between cities as they exist within regions. Real cities don't exist in bubbles; they specialize and trade resources, workers and more.
"With the way that the game works, we offload a significant amount of the calculations to our servers so that the computations are off the local PCs and are moved into the cloud. It wouldn't be possible to make the game offline without a significant amount of engineering work by our team."
"We know this has not gone smoothly, and we want to make it up to our fans."
Bradshaw says the development team is "frustrated" by SimCity's current status, but that it remains "focused and their mood is all business."
"The team is frustrated because they know that underneath these connectivity issues is a game that deserved your initial score of 9.5," she told Polygon. "We plan to earn that score back and the respect of our fans by fixing it and by openly communicating with them information as we know it."
On Friday, an apologetic EA announced it would give SimCity owners a free PC game from the publisher's catalog.
The launch of SimCity and its ensuing struggles has taught Maxis some valuable lessons, Bradshaw said, firstly that "online launches are very complex and a game that is an open sandbox simulation can lead to a wider variety of scenarios we need to test for!"
"Second, our fans are incredibly passionate and smart," she said. "They knew that we'd have issues before we did. But it's not that we weren't listening, it's because we believe in online connectivity as a creative game design decision."
"Lastly, crisis brings out the best in Maxis. Everyone here put their hearts and souls into this game — it was an incredibly proud achievement to deliver the game we'd always wanted to build. To see it have these problems, and incite the community reaction that is has, has been heartbreaking for every single one of us. I'm incredibly proud of my team because they care so much about the people that play their games.
"Our team is working around the clock because they love SimCity and they want everyone to be able to play the game we intended them to experience."
Asked what she'd say to SimCity fans who can't play the game they purchased, Bradshaw pleaded to them, "Stick with us."
"Some of you have been fans of Maxis and SimCity for more than 20 years, through good times and challenging times like now. We love what we do and once this is behind us we hope that you'll see a great game created by passionate people."

Built in 1905 in the Italian Renaissance style and situated in Darling Street, lies the magnificent Cape Town City Hall. Its 39 bells, the largest carillon in Southern Africa, ring out from the 61 meter high tower on special occasions, giving it the reputation of being a mini replica of London's Big Ben. The organ, with its 3165 pipes, is the pride of the Grand Hall. Sir George Martin, who constructed the organ at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, is responsible for its design. The City Hall today is home to the Cape Town Municipal Library.

She went into a store carrying one purse. She left with two. Police said she didn't buy that second purse; she stole it.
The thief went five-finger shopping at the Walmart Supercenter on South Memorial Parkway in Huntsville Dec. 2. Police said she went into the store with one purse, but left with two. You can see a black purse and a reddish-colored purse in the footage.
Normally when someone steals a purse, they're after what's inside: cash, credit cards and checks. There was several hundred dollars worth inside the purse that was stolen here. According to police, the purse itself attracted the thief. If you look closely, you can see it was a designer purse which, in and of itself, is worth several hundred dollars.
Update: Thanks to the ever-vigilant watch of Crime Stoppers viewers like you, this woman was quickly identified as Briana Marie Langley. In fact, Langley tried to turn herself in. The investigation isn't finished, but she will be charged with theft once it is complete.
Thank you once again for your help!

High points were The Thread that Binds the Bones, The Chronoliths, and The Changeling Plague; low points were Far Edge of Darkness, and the overall treatment of women. For some reason, this month seemed full of books that made me uncomfortable in one way or another about the way the characters -- or the author -- treated women. Gordon R. Dickson's The Magnificent Wilf, for example, lists a publication date of 1996, but the way the wife is treated ( and acts ) felt to me like something straight out of the fifties, aside from the fact that she gets to travel to alien planets with her quasi-Ambassador husband. Although I enjoy most of Dickson's work, the number of times she is treated condescendingly made me want to punch him. Strangely, even Rimrunners, written by a woman about a female Marine, felt misogynistic, as though even the character herself didn't think much of women; maybe it was just me.

MedImmune, Hopkins in 5-year research pact
Thursday - 12/12/2013, 12:49pm  ET
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Johns Hopkins University and MedImmune say they're teaming up to find new treatments for complex diseases.
The Daily Record (http://bit.ly/1aYUiAq ) reports that the Baltimore-based university and the Gaithersburg-based company announced their five-year, $6.5 million collaboration Wednesday.
They say the research projects could produce new drugs or therapies for multiple sclerosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other ailments.
MedImmune and its parent company, AstraZeneca, are committing $5.3 million to the projects. Hopkins will kick in the rest.
A Hopkins medical school official says the research projects will reflect MedImmune's interests and Hopkins' expertise.
MedImmune announced a similar, $6 million partnership with the University of Maryland-Baltimore in September.

Great Shorts
February 23, 2011
My high school son loves these shorts. He is tall and thin (5'11"), and this brand is long enough to look "cool". (He also wears them slightly large so they start below his waist). The fabric is very soft and comfortable, with a roomy leg, and it doesn't wrinkle like heavy cotton does. He had a pair in another color, and this web site allowed him to find additional colors in his size, which is not easy. O'Neill is also one of the only brands to carry a 31 waist. Great service from Altrec also.
Pros: Great design, Build qualityO'Neill Men's Superior Walkshorts Photo

The decision stemmed from a lawsuit filed by 11 states and environmental groups that argued federal regulators ignored the effects of carbon dioxide emissions when calculating fuel economy standards for light trucks.
Filed last year, the suit sought to force the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recalculate its mileage standards from scratch, with carbon dioxide emissions taken into account as a major factor in the agency's analysis.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Thursday that California won't back down from the lawsuit — but will stick to its plan to put tougher standards in place by the 2009 model year despite protests from the auto industry.
Last week, California sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, seeking to force the agency to decide whether California can enact the country's first emissions standards for cars and light trucks.

Virginia shifting to alternative fuel for state vehicles
July 12, 2011 - 02:41 pm
- Gov. Bob McDonnell, right, listens to Skip Baker as he explains his alternative fuel vehicle during a ceremony in Richmond, Tuesday. (AP Photo/Steve Helber)
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Surrounded by a fleet of vehicles powered by alternative fuels, Gov. Bob McDonnell has issued an executive order to shift Virginia's thousands of state vehicles to alternative fuels.
McDonnell signed the order Tuesday at the Office of Fleet Management Services in Richmond. He also promoted a new Virginia law that would allow retailers to provide more charging locations for electric vehicles.
McDonnell's executive order requires that a plan to move the state's fleet of vehicles be completed for his review and approval by Jan. 1.
The governor said it makes sense for Virginia to shift to fuels such as biodiesel, electric and other mixes to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil.

I spoek to my theatre at the time and was told that if I turned up with my email confirmation of purchase and my credit card statement, that they woudl honour the booking and find me a seat. As it happened the tickets were there and waiting for me as normal. The theatre apparently will know first thing on the day, so a phone call first thing on the day of show woudl settle your mind and possibly save you an unwasted journey?

I also purchased tickets through their website in early October and someone stole my credit card info soon afterward! Attempted charges didn't show up until a couple of weeks later. One of them was on cocosa.com (clothing, etc), then a small credit was made from another company in Illinois - the credit card rep said they often do that to see if the account is working. Did you have a similar situation?? I will be letting my card company know about your similar situation because I think this terrible company is the only place that had access to my number. Thanks!

When we got the seats the tickets were not as sold. They refuse to engage with us to resolve the situation. They lied on why the price did not match the seat and have stopped answering my e mails.

Do not use \"London West End Theatre Tickets\" (www.londonwestendtheatretickets.com) in any circumstances. They do not supply the seats listed whilst booking; you will get an email saying they are looking for seats for you. They may or may not find seats; those seats will almost certainly be different from the ones you booked, perhaps even different theatre section. They are based in Norway, not the UK.

These people are based in Norway and probably the same group that pertained to sell dodgy tickets for the Olympics.

McVitie's Butterscotch Milk Chocolate Digestives
Member Name: LethalUK
McVitie's Butterscotch Milk Chocolate Digestives
Date: 01/09/09
Advantages: Everything.
Disadvantages: Nothing.
The original Milk Chocolate Digestives are brilliant, better than the original. They follow the same high standards of quality usually seen from McVitie's. The combination of superb taste, texture and great value for money makes these a great packet of biscuits. However, they are very unhealthy and are often harder to find than the original biscuits.
The packaging is very simple, but bright making it easy to recognise on the shelf. The text is bold and crisp, so you can read it easily. The product is always fresh, but the thin plastic means that the biscuits can be broken and will fall all over the fall when opened, which can be very annoying. The packet can be opened easily, but you need another container to keep them crisp, as they don't last long out in the open.
The product is very high quality, with thick chocolate and a nice generous layer of real butterscotch, better than alternative products. All of this makes the higher price worth it.
The price is more expensive than alternative products, but the higher quality and the sheer greatness of the biscuit makes it worth it.
When you open the packet, you can smell the sweet, rich butterscotch almost straight away. Combined with the delicious look of the product, you will want to pop one into your mouth. When you start to eat one, the silky smooth milk chocolate will start to melt. This leaves the thick butterscotch to combine with the biscuit. It isn't too over powering, and the two textures work together very well. The match os flavours is perfect, with the butterscotch rich, but not commanding so you still get the trademark
However, the product is very unhealthy, with lots of calories and fat. It is also very hard to find, which is bad as they are very nice.
Overall, a superb packet of biscuits, some of the best available. They have a great combination of flavours and textures. They are great value for money, with lots of biscuits to go around and they are very filling so they last along time. Almost everyone will love them.
Summary: Some of the best.

Can multiple proposals be submitted from a campus? Yes Can multiple proposals be submitted from an individual? Yes What is the deadline for submissions? All grant proposals must be submitted electronically no later than 5:00 p.m., Friday, March 1, 2013. How do I submit my application? First create an online account - and follow the directions. You may print the questions as a guide and create responses in a word processor. A tutorial guide to create an account may be viewed here. Is campus approval required when submitting a grant? Yes, you must certify in the application (or upload a letter of support) that your campus executive leadership is aware of, and supports this proposal – particularly when matching or in-kind funds are involved. Is there a template for a letter of support? No, but a statement example would be, "John Q. Public, (president, vice president, CIO, dean) has reviewed this proposal and endorses it as submitted, as well as agreeing to abide by the campus commitments specified in the proposal." Is department chair approval required when submitting a grant? Not when submitting a grant, though your chair may wish to provide a letter of support. It is assumed that the PI (and any co-PI's) will consult with any department(s) that may be called upon to support the proposal, including any technology support commitments. Please do not circumvent any step of your internal consultation process in order to ensure a timely contract process should you receive funding. It is anticipated that the final award contract will require signatures from the PI, department chair (or dean), the department or campus financial officer affiliated with the account, and Chief Academic Officer (or designee, -president, vice -president, CIO, -dean). There is no set number. If we are a team applying for a grant, can/do we all have online access to the grant application? No, only one team member should submit the proposal. It is recommended that you print out the question guide and collaborate in advance, then "cut & paste" your agreed-upon responses into the online application. What if I need to make corrections to my grant application? You can save your application in "draft" form until it is ready for final submission. Be sure your application is complete before final submission. Once submitted, the application is considered complete and corrections or adjustments will not be accepted. Can I save my application during the process and return to it? We recommend that you download the application form, then "cut & paste" content from a word document into the system in order to maintain a local copy to ensure against any unanticipated technology failures. Your file is stored in draft form online until you submit it. Budget Questions(Note: the following three questions all have the same response) Can an institution partner with a non-SUNY campus (or other entity)? Can we work with vendors outside of New York State? International? May I sub-contract a portion of my work to a vendor? Yes, as long as the relationship is clearly articulated and in the best interest of the University and achieves the desired results. Any local campus policies and procedures that apply to partnerships must be followed. When do funds need to be expended by? June 30, 2014. No exceptions. Do I need to include any campus overhead in my budget? (e.g., Income Fund Reimbursable (IFR)) No, this grant funding is backed by state tax dollars and is not subject to the overhead charges that are typically levied against some funding sources (e.g., fringe benefit charges, administrative overhead, maintenance/operations overhead). Do I need to run this proposal through my local campus Research Foundation office? The Office of the Provost requires the grant application include an endorsement from either the campus president or provost. If local campus policy requires you to run the grant proposal through the local Research Foundation, please do so. Do I need to follow state procurement guidelines and get competitive bids for any materials supporting my proposal? This grant funding is backed by state tax dollars, and is subject to all state procurement policies and procedures in place at the local campus. Can this grant be used to fund faculty salary recovery (course buy-out) or other types of personnel expense (e.g., student assistance)? Yes, as long as those items are directly related to the grant, included in the grant budget, and approved as part of the award. Can a portion of my salary or my student's salary be considered "in-kind"? Campus resources qualify as in-kind contribution for this grant if the answer to these questions is YES:
The following are two examples of qualifying in-kind contributions related to personnel: 1. A full-time faculty member with a continuing appointment works on the grant. As a direct result of the grant award, the campus reduces this faculty member's workload by one-course during the Fall semester, and hires an adjunct at $2,500 to teach the course. The $2,500 campus expense is an in-kind contribution because it is directly related to the grant and an expense that has to be paid only because the campus received the grant award. 2. A student assistant is hired by the department and tracks the number of hours s/he spends on work directly related to the grant. The payroll expense for the student's documented hours qualifies as an in-kind contribution. May I budget funds from this grant for Summer Salary or extra service compensation (particularly in cases where reduced course load is not an option in my department)? Summer salary, faculty release, and extra service is allowed. The reviewers will assess from the budget and justification if the expense is valid. Do we need to pay individuals at their state salary rate? No. Do we need to calculate benefits as part of personnel expenditures? No. Are there any limits on how much can be spent on equipment vs. salary? No, not for this round of grants. Can these funds be used to support travel? Yes, as long as the travel directly supports grant activity and results is an allowable expense. Local campus policies and procedures in place for travel will apply. Administrative QuestionsAre FACT2 representatives eligible to apply for a grant? Yes Are FACT2 representatives required to be listed as a collaborator on the grant? No I have more questions about SUNY FACT2 – How do I locate my campus representative? Campus FACT2 representatives are listed on the FACT2 web site. What is required from me if I receive a grant?
The SUNY Learning Commons is wrapping up a pilot phase and anticipated to be available for IITG accounts during the Spring 2013 semester. There are many "Commons" associated with major university systems, a quick search will enable you to better understand how a Commons portal functions. How must my project be represented in the Commons? As described in the RFP (and expanded upon in the application), "…describe how your project outcomes will be documented and shared to enable others to replicate and/or build upon a project's success in an open education environment (e.g., use of video clips, captured presentations, related documents and assessments)." Foundant™ is a software company that SUNY contracted with to provide online, hosted grant management services. What is the process for determining grant winners?Grant submissions are evaluated by a peer review committee appointed by the SUNY Provost. Submissions are evaluated on a pre-determined set of criteria as laid out in the Proposal & Funding Evaluation section of the grant RFP. I was working on my application when the computer crashed. It only saved part of my application – how can I avoid this? Please remember to periodically scroll to the bottom of your application and save your work, also – do not open multiple browsers of Foundant at one time. If the expanded FAQ does not meet your needs, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com and we will respond to your specific concern. We appreciate your use of this email address for all inquiries in order to track questions and concerns for future reference. |

Burger King - Drive Thru Got Order Wrong Twice
Food - Complaint
Review by
SHORELINE, WASHINGTON -- I ordered one of the temporary specialty chicken sandwiches and an order of the large loaded tots with a drink. Was excited when told I could order it as a meal deal to save a little. Even though cost me almost $9.00. Paid, got my order, went to work, and was disappointed to find fries instead of the loaded tater tots. Finally cooled off, thinking potatoes are potatoes. Finished fries, and reached in bag to try what should have been a chicken burger, only to find a Whopper. I was extremely disappointed to say the least. That was probably the most expensive Whopper meal ever. I didn't go back, since I already ate the fries, and I sure as hell was not gonna go through the garbage can on the way out of the drive thru, where I tossed my receipt. So fast forward to two weeks later. After thinking okay, give them a chance. So I go thru the drive through again. I order the crispy specialty chicken sandwich,( does any part of that sound like rib? don't worry I will explain later). Ask about the tots. Told yes they still have them. They ask me what flavor? What flavor? After minutes of explaining what I want. A crispy specialty chicken sandwich and a large order of the tots. Oh the tots are no longer available. That was great communication. Okay I will just get a small fries. Along with a crispy specialty chicken sandwich. Thinking every thing is cool. I go up to the window. Pay for food. And just on chance I looked at the receipt. And saw the word rib. Wait a minute....How do they get rib out of my order?
I have not been that upset in a long time. I was thinking okay they screwed up my order once. But to screw it up when I tried to let BK redeem itself. I said don't even hand me that bag. just give me my money back. I am done. This is ridiculous.
