PCT-Patent Prosecution Highway Between USPTO and SPTO (Pilot)
The PCT-Patent Prosecution Highway in Conjunction With the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO)
Under the PCT-Patent Prosecution Highway, an applicant receiving a written opinion or an international preliminary examination report from either the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (SPTO) or the USPTO that at least one claim in a PCT application has novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability may request that the other office fast track the examination of corresponding claims in corresponding applications. The PCT-Patent Prosecution Highway will leverage fast-track patent examination procedures already available in both offices to allow applicants in both countries to obtain corresponding patents faster and more efficiently.
As of May 25, 2010, the USPTO has eliminated the fee for the petition to make special under the PPH programs.
The USPTO and SPTO have agreed to extend the pilot for a period of two years ending 30 September 2013 in order to collect more information before any formal decision on the program is made.

From EatingWell: September/October 2013
In this healthy buffalo and black bean chili recipe, the buffalo is cooked with sweet red bell peppers and spiced with two types of chili powder, cocoa powder and espresso powder, making this chili mouthwatering and memorable. Ground buffalo, also known as ground bison, is a healthy alternative to ground beef because it's naturally lower in fat and has a rich, delectable flavor. After all the ingredients are added to the pot, we like to slowly simmer our chili for close to an hour to develop the best flavor, but if you're in a hurry, reduce the liquid by half and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.

Apply for Weatherization Assistance
It is easy to find out if you are eligible and to apply for weatherization. Usually you can do it in a weatherization agency near your home.
Am I Eligible?
Want to apply immediately?
Select your state from the map on the State Contacts page and get the phone number and address of your state weatherization office.
As many as 20 to 30 million U.S. families are eligible for weatherization services nationwide. Services are provided by the states, and each state has slightly different criteria. All energy services are handled by local weatherization agencies.
If you receive Supplemental Security Income or Aid to Families with Dependent Children, you are automatically eligible to receive weatherization services. In other cases, states give preference to:
- People over 60 years of age
- Families with one or more members with a disability
- Families with children (in most states).
One of the primary factors affecting eligibility is income. Depending on what state you live in, you are eligible for weatherization if your income falls below the "200% poverty level" defined in the PDF below. Note, however, that some states use a third alternative to set eligibility if your income is less than 60% of the median income in your state; and minimum incomes for Hawaii and Alaska, respectively, are slightly higher. For details, see the DOE Poverty Income Guidelines for 2009.
How does the process work?
- Call local agency
- The states, not DOE, keep up-to-date lists of local weatherization agencies.
- All weatherization services are provided by local agencies.
- Most agencies are nonprofits that employ energy professionals.
- Some are branches of local governments.
- Come in and apply
- Application form usually takes about 20 minutes
- You must have proof of income for the year prior to application. (For people on fixed incomes, this is usually easy to do).
- The agency also asks a small number of questions about your household, such as, the number of people living in the home.
- Your eligibility is determined
- If you are eligible, your weatherization agency puts you on a waiting list.
- If you rent, you must get permission from your landlord.
- People most in need are often moved to the top of the waiting list.
- Professional energy consultation
- Analysis of your energy bills
- Test the infiltration of outside air with a blower door
- Inspect equipment for health and safety
- List the most cost-effective energy conservation measures for your home.
- Workers arrive
- Local weatherization agency schedules work.
- Average expenditure of $6,500 per home
- All work is energy-related. Work does not include new roofing, siding, or similar.
- Work is typically completed in a day or two.
- You sign off on final inspection.
Frequently Asked Questions About Eligibility and Applying for Weatherization
Low-income families often have a number of questions for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on how to apply for weatherization assistance or about DOE's role in the process. If you want to apply immediately for weatherization, you'll need to contact your state agency.
- If I rent, can I still apply?
- If my income is within these national guidelines, will I be guaranteed to receive weatherization services?
- If I'm not eligible for this program, whom can I call for help?
- Why can't I call DOE directly to apply for assistance?
- What happens to my home during the Weatherization Process?
- How will I benefit by participating in this program?
If I rent, can I still apply?
Whether you own or rent, live in a single-family home, multi-family housing complex, or a mobile home, you can apply for assistance. If you rent, you must get written permission from your landlord before weatherization services can be performed.
If my income is within these national guidelines, will I be guaranteed to receive weatherization services?
Not necessarily. You will need to check your states particular guidelines. Funding can also be an issue because Congress allocates a certain amount of funding for the program on a national level, and it varies from year to year. Please be patient if you are put on a waiting list. Your home will be weatherized as soon as possible.
If I'm not eligible for this program, whom can I call for help?
- Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Even if you are not approved for DOE-sponsored weatherization assistance, you might still be eligible for short-term assistance on your utility bill from the LIHEAP Program. Funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, LIHEAP serves low-income families. In addition, states often use LIHEAP funds for weatherization to reduce a family's energy bills over the long term. - Assistance to Individuals Involved in a Natural Disaster
The Federal Energy Management Agency (FEMA) provides a number of services to assist individuals who are victims of a natural disaster. These services include low-interest loans, some cash grants, and links to assistance from other agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service and Farm Service Agency.
Why can't I call DOE directly to apply for assistance?
Because of the guidelines set down by the U.S. Constitution, the federal government does not provide assistance directly to individuals. Instead, this function is the responsibility of the states. DOE does not have an application form to give to individuals for weatherizing their homes. DOE does not accept applications from individuals. Since each state has a different procedure, all we can do is refer you to your respective state agency.
What happens to my home during the Weatherization Process?
The first step in the process is for your local weatherization agency to carry out an energy audit. This agency is a nonprofit weatherization organization, local governmental agency, or sometimes a contractor trained in home energy services. The energy audit is a computerized assessment of your home's energy use and an analysis of which energy conservation measures are best for your home.
Once the audit is complete, the auditor or inspector from the local weatherization agency will meet with you and your family to explain how the work crews will conduct the work. Depending on your needs, the inspector will recommend more work in some homes than in others.
Throughout the weatherization process, the health and safety of your family remain a priority. Following weatherization, an inspector will return to make certain that everything is working properly and that nothing was missed.
How will I benefit by participating in this program?
Weatherization reduces your energy bills for a long time. Some measures, such as insulating your walls or roof, for example, will continue to provide you savings for the lifetime of your house—30 years or more. Others, such as making your heating or cooling equipment more efficient, will provide savings for 10 to 15 years. On average, the value of the weatherization improvement to your house is 2.2 times greater than the cost of the improvement itself.

Basic Meringue
From: Cooking with Jamie
Meringues can be tricky little buggers! Servings: Serves 6–8
IngredientsBasic Meringue
DirectionsPreheat your oven to 300°. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Put your egg whites into a bowl, making sure there are absolutely no little pieces of egg shell or egg yolk in them. Whisk on medium until the whites form firm peaks. You'll know that it's thick enough if you can hold the bowl upside-down over your head– in 15 years of cooking, it's only fallen on my head once!
With your mixer still running, gradually add the sugar and the pinch of salt. Turn the mixer up to the highest setting and whisk for about 7 or 8 minutes until the meringue mixer is deliciously white and glossy. Dip your finger in the meringue and rub the mixture between your thumb and index finger. It should feel perfectly smooth. If it feels at all grainy, whisk for a little bit longer. Keep a close eye on the meringue because if you whisk for too long, it will collapse. Now gently fold in one of the flavors from the list below–if you fancy. Personally, I quite like to eat a meringue that has a secret extra flavor added to it, especially when it's so subtle that you end up kicking yourself trying to work out what it is! Choose one of the following:

Wallace Patton Riddell Dec. 26, 1939 ~ July 27, 2013July 19, 2013, 8:00 am by Staff Reports
Pat is survived by his sister, Vonnie Fox and brother-in-law, Billy Joe Fox; Pats wife of 40 years, Ann Clayton Riddell; daughters, Renee Riddell-Owens, Randi Reifle and Rachel Holcomb, sons-in-law, Michael Holcomb and Beau Reifle; grandchildren, Makayla and Chelsea Warden, Avery and Aidan Holcomb, and Halsey Riddell-Owens; nieces, Gail Grigsby, Rachel and Mary Anne Curington, all of Burnet and nephews John Grigsby and Jim Vagher, of Providence, R.I., as well as many cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Burnet County Sheriff Wallace Riddell and wife, Rachel Estelle "Essie Hollingsworth Riddell; sisters Modena Curington and Daisybel Grigsby and a nephew, Chuck Grigsby. Pat was raised in Burnet and graduated from Burnet High in 1958 with a football scholarship to Texas Tech University, where he studied and was a quarterback for three years before transferring to the University of Texas in Austin. Pat then enlisted with the United States Marine Corps, which was followed by careers in rodeo and real estate, beginning in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pats rodeo career as a bulldogger spanned 14 years and was a true passion, but real estate is where he chose to make his mark. After meeting his beautiful wife, Ann, he chose to settle down in Burnet where he raised his family and served his community. He was named a Burnet Honor Citizen in 1985, following in his fathers footsteps, as Sheriff Riddell was the first. He was a member of the First Lutheran Church, Scottish Rite, Valley Lodge #175, Henry Thomas #278, and the Burnet City Council as Councilman for 12 years. He created and developed the Burnet Tourism Alliance as well as the Burnet Bluebonnet Festival and helped with many other community projects over the years. At the time of his death, he was working with the addition of a new development at Delaware Springs. Pats love of hunting was almost equal to his love of this community. He was a life member of the Texas Wildlife Association and when he wasnt working on projects or serving on a board, he was out on a hunting trip with his friends and family or coaching his granddaughters on the basketball and volleyball courts. Pat was a man of faith, morals and truth and will be missed terribly by his family and all that knew him. The viewing will be held Tuesday, July 30 from 5-7 p.m. at Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home in Burnet. The funeral service will be conducted at 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 31, 2013, at Hill Country Fellowship Church in Burnet. Interment with a Masonic burial service will follow at Post Mountain Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the Burnet Firs Lutheran Church or the Hill Country Community Foundation. Condolences may be offered to www.clementswilcoxburnet.com. Arrangements were made by Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home in Burnet. |

Innsbruck Cathedral
The Domkirche zu St. Jakob (Cathedral of St. James) is an 18th-century Baroque cathedral in Innsbruck, Austria.
The Domkirche of Innsbruck was rebuilt in 1717-24 by Baroque architect Johann Jakob Herkommer. The church suffered heavy damage in World War II, but was later restored.
What to See
Innsbruck Cathedral has a plain but window-filled facade with two towers topped with domes. A large dome covers the transept crossing. The interior is fully decorated in the Baroque style, with contributions from the Asam Brothers.
The main attraction of the interior is the altarpiece entitled Maria Hilf (Mary of Succor) by Lucas Cranach the Elder. Also of interest is a monument of 1620 honoring Archduke Maximilian III (d.1618), in the north aisle.

The numbers from NFLshop.com show how excited the members of Broncos Country are about the upcoming season.
No NFL team sold more merchandise than the Broncos from the official NFL retail site from April 1 to June 30. Rounding out the top five were the Saints, the Cowboys, the Steelers and the Giants.
Tim Tebow has yet to take a snap as a NFL quarterback, but he's already beating out Donovan McNabb, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in one category.
Tebow's No. 15 is the top selling NFL player jersey on the site during the same time span.

Good news from Gainesville today as sophomore linebacker Neiron Ball is being moved out of the intensive care unit of a local hospital (according to his high school coach). Ball was hospitalized following a burst blood vessel in his brain earlier this week. He is being treated for a congenital vascular condition.
"He's doing okay," Coach Mike Parris of Jackson, Georgia told The Gainesville Sun. "He's having headaches. He's scared more than anything. Other than that, he's doing pretty good. I think he's going to be fine. The doctors told his family he is out of a life-threatening situation."
Parris said doctors have not talked to Ball or his family about football yet. "Nobody knows anything about football at this point. Everyone just wants to get him back healthy. That's what we're looking at right now."

Trying to explain the need to avoid wheat to a waiter or waitress can be frustrating. At one of the boards I visit online for people with gluten issues, I read one person's account about going to an ethnic restaurant with a friend.
After the waiter, who had a heavy accent, handed them their menus and told them the day's specials, one of the women mentioned that she had celiac disease and said she couldn't eat gluten.
The server just stared blankly at her.
"That means I can't have anything with wheat, rye or barley," she said.
The server continued his blank stare.
She decided to try to explain herself more simply.
"I can't have flour," she said. "Flour makes me very sick."
With that, the waiter smiled broadly. And removed the rose from the vase on the table.

Life Jackets for Dogs
Foundation Findings #52
By Chris EdmonstonPublished: June/July 2012
The last thing we want is for Fido to fall overboard, creating panic onboard, and a potential safety nightmare. Fitting him for a life jacket is easy — really! — if you follow a few simple tips.
"Some of the most important safety items on any boat are the life jackets — for you, your passengers, and of course your "best friend." Since our last report on this topic 12 years ago, the canine life jacket market has taken off by leaps and hounds. Back in 2000, we came up with four viable canine life jacket models. This time, we were easily able to double the number of jackets tested. West Marine has many in regular stock, and so do some of the big-box stores.
While it might seem as if all dogs have an innate ability to swim, many dogs simply don't take well to water. Dogs with low body fat, such as Greyhounds, or dogs with age or health issues may have trouble. Jackets are a good idea even for dogs that love the water. A long day in the water can get tiring, even for the best swimmers — a fact that was proven on our day of testing.
Most of our test jackets came in a variety of sizes, so we were able to try them out on a variety of dogs — from a 12-pound rat terrier, to a 130-pound Newfoundland, and six other dogs in between. There are also different types of foam and construction materials in use today, as well as an inflatable model. With prices ranging from about $20 to more than $100, there's a vibrant dog-PFD market, and a jacket for every budget.
Some Things To Consider Before Purchasing
Is the dog likely to jump in the water? Is the dog heavy? Will the dog want to lie down, or will it be active? If you can, take your dog to the store to try on the jacket, or at least make sure you can take it back. See how the jacket fits, and how hard it is to adjust for a good fit. Check where the straps hit — you don't want the straps or buckles rubbing sensitive parts. Also, you'll want to check the way the foam padding rides on the dog — too much foam in the wrong place will make it uncomfortable, if not impossible, for the dog to sit or lie comfortably.
One feature that testers found universally important: a lifting strap/handle. If you've ever tried to pick up a swimming dog, you'll agree that having a lifting handle makes getting the dog back into the boat much easier. If your pet needs to be on a leash, having a ring on the collar is another important feature. Safety features to consider include having reflective tape and a jacket made of bright colors to make it easier to spot the dog in the water in adverse conditions. And keep in mind, if the jacket has Velcro-style closures, your dog's shedding might clog it up, and necessitate frequent cleaning.
Spring, the rat terrier, models his elaborate life jacket.
Small Dogs
Our small dogs, a 12-pound rat terrier (Spring), and a 20-pound Jack Russell (Skipper), neither of which are "water" dogs, had decidedly negative outlooks on taking a plunge. Because they were small, active dogs, there was less wiggle room for a poorly fitting jacket. Everything from strap and buckle location to amount and placement of the foam had to be just right for the dog to be comfortable. The jacket that best suited both dogs was the West Marine neoprene jacket, which just edged out the Outward Hound. The West Marine jacket is a good value as well, coming in at a price of $34.99.
Medium Dogs
Our medium dogs, a 36-pound border collie (Zip), and a 40-pound golden retriever pup (Stella), seemed to be much more willing to take a swim than our small dogs — not much of a surprise, especially for Stella. There's a substantial size difference between a small and medium jacket, and the fitting was easier for Stella and Zip than it was for Skipper and Spring. The jacket that best suited both dogs was the Outward Hound priced at $29.99, which just edged out a foam jacket from West Marine called the Pet Flotation Device, or cleverly called the "PFD."
Here's Jackie, wearing an Outward Hound jacket.
Large Dogs
Our large dogs, a 62-pound golden (Jackie) and a 70-pound golden (Guinness), were more at home in the water than they were on the shore. The large jackets tested had a greater amount of surface area, which is one thing to keep in mind on a hot summer day, especially for our friends that sport a little more fur. The jacket that best suited our large dogs was the Outward Hound, because of overall performance for active dogs in the water. That was followed by the economical $24.99 West Marine Pet Flotation Device — the same results as for the medium-sized dogs.
Murphy, the extra-large Newfoundland, wearing a Krugo Surf N' Turf.
Extra-Large Dogs
Our biggest dogs, a 90-pound Chesapeake Bay retriever and a 130-pound Newfoundland, were very comfortable in the water. Jackets for these dogs seemed to be the most forgiving for getting a good fit. Adjustments, when needed, were made easily, and the price for the jackets averaged around $50. The jacket that best suited both dogs was the Outward Hound, just beating out the MTI Adventure Wear Underdog and the Kurgo Surf n' Turf, which were tied for second place. All three of these jackets did an exceptional job at keeping these heavy dogs' hind section afloat, leading to a more horizontal and natural swimming posture while in the water, which greatly reduced fatigue.

Ohio buckeye, a medium-sized, canopy tree, 50-75 ft. tall, is often used as an ornamental because of its interesting fruit and bright orange fall foliage. Branches bend toward the ground then arch back up, creating a rounded outline. Dense, attractive, deciduous foliage is palmately compound and the showy, erect blossom clusters are held at the ends of the twigs. The trees fruit is a nut encased in a spiny, splitting husk. Twigs and leaves often have a slightly unpleasant odor when crushed.
The state tree of Ohio, the Buckeye State. Pioneers carried a buckeye seed in their pockets to ward off rheumatism. The seeds and young foliage are poisonous, and the toxic bark was formerly used medicinally. Sometimes planted as an ornamental for the showy autumn foliage. The wood is used for furniture, boxes, flooring, and musical instruments. Caution: All parts of this tree are poisonous if taken internally. Keep away from livestock; seeds and fruits are attractive to children and are dangerous.

Cheap, did not last longPros: Cheep, worked Cons: keyboard started to repeat keys when typed, short cord, roller on mouse sucked. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not worth the price to shipPros: Nothing Cons: - The price is way too high for the quality Other Thoughts: Just don't even bother. Keep looking Did you find this review helpful? |
Don't buyPros: They are cheap. Cons: They are cheap! They would work sometimes, but sometimes they would not. With average daily use the letters and number are starting to wear off. I don't even see the 1 key letter anymore. I had purchased 4 of them and maybe 2 of them work all the time. Don't waste your time on these. Just spend the extra money upfront for a logitech, or mainline brand. It will be money ahead in the long run. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Basic keyboard layout Cons: -Media keys do not always work Other Thoughts: The loudness of the keyboard especially when im coming from a Logitech k800 is a huge difference. I dont mind it too much but i often disturb others in my dorm with my speedy typing because at some point between my essays im writing in college my friends and neighbors think im mashing keys constantly. Its not really a big issue but if your looking for a silent keyboard this is not one for you. Did you find this review helpful? |
Fly, you fools!Pros: They keys go flying everywhere when you break the keyboard over your knee. Cons: Flimsy- You can break the keyboards in half almost by accident. When they started to break on me, I broke them over my knee. Other Thoughts: I ordered four of these to replace old keyboards in my office. They've last a month and a half. The first keyboard died within a week. The last keyboard just died two days ago and there's one more mouse hanging around on a computer no one uses regularly. I strongly recommend you look elsewhere for inexpensive keyboards and mice. Spend twice the money for a keyboard and mouse separately from a better known brand, and you'll still be well below retail pricing. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
RUN AWAY!!!Pros: low-cost Cons: CHEAP as in LOW QUALITY! Other Thoughts: Not even sure worth RMA as it only cost me just under $10 and shipping will be just about the same. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not quite what I expectedPros: Not a bad looking keyboard and mouse Cons: While the product says the keyboard and mouse are "either/or" meaning Either USB OR PS/2, neither device comes witha PS/2 adaptor. So, for honesty's sake, the details should have at least stated the PS/2 adaptors are "sold separately" or stated that the PS/2 adaptors are "not included" If this was indicated in the product details I apparently didn't notice.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is not a big Château Margaux, its style showing more elegance and discretion. The tannins are soft, although producing a dense web that lies underneath the black currant and plum fruit flavors. It is a wine that envelops the mouth, an edge of firmness over velvet fruit textures. The wine..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A somewhat under-the-radar La Mission, the 2006 was generally overlooked following the brilliance of the 2005. A young, dense purple-hued wine that is developing beautifully, it exhibits notes of Asian plum sauce, charcoal, barbecue smoke, roasted meats, graphite and background oak. Full-bodied..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Bottled very late (November, 1997), the 1995 has continued to flesh out, developing into one of the great classics made under the Mentzelopoulos regime. The color is opaque ruby/purple. The nose offers aromas of licorice and sweet smoky new oak intermixed with jammy black fruits, licorice, and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, this wine represents only 34% of Lafite's total harvest. In a less than perfect Medoc vintage, it has been spectacular since birth, putting on more weight and flesh over the last year. This opaque purple-colored 1998 is close to perfection. The..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "As so often with Lafite, it is power that marks this wine. That, and density of texture. The additional element in this vintage, and at this stage of the wine's development, is a dominant wood element. The vanilla and tannins from the wood match well with the concentrated tannins of the fruit,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is undisputably the wine of the vintage, a year that was clearly over-exposed and over-rated, largely because it was better than the four vintages that preceded it ... The 1975 La Mission-Haut-Brion, which consistently received perfect scores in its first thirty years of life, remains a..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... Complex aromatics of scorched earth, smoked herbs, and sweet red and black currants are followed by a full-bodied, silky-textured wine, but I have never felt this offering has possessed the concentration, texture, or multidimensional personality found in such vintages as 1989, 1990, and more..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 is one of the greatest Leoville Las Cases I have ever tasted, which is saying something given the many compelling wines that have been made at this estate. A final blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc has resulted in a wine that appears to be a hypothetical..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Dark garnet with an amber edge, the 1959 Latour reveals a touch of volatile acidity in the nose, along with aromas of melted caramel, tobacco, and jammy red and black fruits. As the wine sat in the glass, notes of minerals, coffee, spice, and underbrush emerged ... this sumptuous, complex,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Interestingly, a bottle of 1990 Lafite Rothschild I pulled from my cellar for a video blog on my web site was still buttoned down, tight, and even with extended decanting was not showing as much as I would have hoped.

Research Briefings 1986 is the fifth volume
of research briefing reports on selected areas
of science and technology prepared by the
Committee on Science, Engineering, and
Public Policy (COSEPUP). ~ The briefings are
prepared at the request of the President's
Science Advisor, who also serves as Director
of the White House Office of Science and
Technology Policy (OSTP), and the Director
of the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The four individual reports in this volume
bring to 32 the number of such reports de-
veloped by COSEPUP. A list of the subjects
covered in Research Briefings volumes each
year since 1982 is appended to this preface.
Together they constitute a rich set of as-
sessments of recent advances and high-
leverage research opportunities in a large
number of critical fields of science and tech-
In addition to their collective value, in-
dividual briefing reports have had signifi-
cant impact in their respective fields. For
~COSEPUP is a joint committee of the National Acad-
emy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineer-
ing, and the Institute of Medicine, which together are
known as the National Academy complex.

example, Dr. George Keyworth II (Presi-
dential Science Advisor when the briefings
were initiated) has noted that the research
briefing on Computers in Design and Man-
ufacturing "led almost directly and auicidv
to an important new program of Eng~neer-
ing Research Centers in the National Sci-
ence Foundation." Other research briefings
have influenced federal priorities and fund-
ing in mathematics, astronomy and astro-
physics, plant sciences, and the solid earth
sciences. Often, briefings have highlighted
interdisciplinary connections, as in neuro-
science, materials science, cognitive science
and artificial intelligence, and biotechnol-
ogy. Clearly, the research briefing activity
has become an important new means of co-
operation between the federal government
and the National Academy complex.
As it has evolved through five annual
rounds, the research briefing activity in-
volves, first, the selection of topics by the
OSTP and NSF directors in response to sug-
gestions offered by COSEPUP. The brief-
ings are then developed by panels of experts
charged with assessing the status of the field
and identifying those research areas within
the field likely to return the highest scientific
dividends as a result of near-term federal
OCR for page R1
investment. COSEPUP then reviews the
briefings before their presentation in oral
and written form to officials in the White
House, the National Science Foundation,
other executive branch departments and
agencies, and the Congress. The briefing re-
ports, which are published and made widely
available by the National Academy Press,
are used in evaluations of the state of U.S.
science and technology and in development
and review of budget proposals.

'I Can' empowerment expo slated for May 5
The "I Can" Empowerment Expo will be held May 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Union AME Church, 1600 West Jefferson Street.
Activities for the day's event include: shopping for products and services as sold by community members, financial workshop break-out sessions for all ages and the official unveiling of I Can Ministries, Inc.'s first book "Rescue ME! Save the Children," a guide for parenting in the 21st century and beyond.
According to Rev. Dr. Mary Lou Moore, I Can Ministries, Inc., is a new local non-profit dedicated to the empowerment of people who are of low socio-economic demographics. This will be accomplished through educational training, religious support and charitable giving as provided by members of I Can Ministries, Inc., and by partnering with other community leaders.
The Expo will feature various vendors and activities for children, including a moon bounce, a clown and face painting. Moore will also be there signing copies of her book.
For more information, contact Sharon Thomas at (215) 765-5868.
'Yes I Can' Expo celebrates community
In the midst of the Cinco de Mayo activities around the city, a north Philadelphia church decided to host a day dedicated to its community.
The historic AME Union Church partnered with a local nonprofit I Can Ministry, Inc. and Wells Fargo Bank Saturday May 5 to create a day of empowerment and uplift through their "I Can" Empowerment Expo.
The AME Union Church, located at 1614 Jefferson St., hosted workshops, vendors with products sold by community members and activities for kids. The workshops were financial literacy workshops that were instructed by a representative from Wells Fargo and were catered to all age groups. They focused on areas such as; entrepreneurship, mortgages, budgeting and credit scores. Simultaneously, various community members held tables both inside and outside with information and products from their respective organization.
Guests were able to browse through tables, get a soul food platter, sit in a financial workshop or take their kids outside to a bounce house or for face painting. The church was full of activity that day.
"With all the unrest going on in the community, we wanted to bring something positive to the neighborhood that families could come out to," said the Rev. Mary Lou Moore, senior pastor at AME Union Church. "I Can Ministry is a nonprofit to help struggling families mature."
At the event, Moore released her first book "Rescue ME! Save the Children," and did book signings.
"It's a book to bring solutions to parents about saving the children through effective parenting," she said. "This story tells about my mother and my feelings as a parent — then my daughters tell their stories about growing up with me — the great-grandchildren even have a part in here."
Pastor Paul Thomas has been pastoring at AME Union for about a year and believes there was a need for the church, "the castle on the hill" as he calls it, to engage the community.
"We saw the need as a church and community to engage some of the activity in the area, he said. "What AME Union wanted to do free of charge was provide the space — we have a lot of space that the community can take advantage of, we really wanted to just be that light."
Community members mingled and participated in the various activities throughout the day. The organizers were pleased with the turnout and success of the event.
Ron Davis, Philadelphia resident and native, heard about this event through his family members and was enthused to participate and bring his seven children along.
"We need this right now because there are two many kids running around and too many shootings," he said. "So any event that keeps them off the streets from any aggravation that's going — I'm with it."

Ample counter makes this small space user-friendly.
This kitchen was renovated in a traditional rustic log-cabin style in keeping with the home's age. The cabinets were treated to a weathered patina in a custom grey colour that plays up the dark Italian marble counter — one of Kate's favourites.

Giving Opportunities
Why your gifts are so important
Madison Community Montessori School is made up of a community of individuals who support the school in many ways. This commitment is a tradition at MCMS that enables the school to enhance existing programs and realize its mission. The philanthropic tradition of giving to non-profit organizations is very much alive at MCMS.
Like all independent schools, MCMS depends on the generosity of current families, alumni and friends to accomplish its visionary goals as well as to keep tuition costs as low as possible. The high standards we have come to expect at MCMS can only be maintained through the active support of its community.
To learn more about any of these fundraising activities, please contact Director of Development, Laura Spitzig.
Capital Campaign
In the fall of 2011, MCMS launched its first-ever capital campaign. Due to eminent domain by the Wisconsin DOT, MCMS was forced to leave the building that had been our home for over 20 years. We were able to secure our new location in the Town of Middleton and open the doors to our new home in the fall of 2012. With this move have come many expenses not covered or reimbursed by the state; hence the birth of our "Opening New Doors to Lifelong Learning" campaign.
The funds raised during our first phase of the campaign allowed us to continue with our plans for our new building. As of September 2013, we have reached 85% of our goal. The last 15% is needed to complete our outdoor environment, including our playground. We have the plans for a natural playground ready to go, however we need your support to be able to provide the children with this wonderful, natural, outdoor play space.
Annual Fund
Our largest annual fundraiser is the Madison Community Montessori Annual Fund. The Annual Fund is one way to help fill the gap between tuition income and the actual cost of educating each child. Annual Fund revenues are put to use in the current year's operating budget to further our mission of providing the highest quality Montessori education to your child. Every gift matters and we ask every family to contribute at a level meaningful to them.
Matching Gifts
This is an opportunity to have your employer match your gift to MCMS. Please check with your employer to determine if they offer this program.
MCMS Endowment
The MCMS Endowment was established in 2008 with donations made by friends and families of MCMS. Guided by the mission of MCMS, the Endowment will support the following activities:
- Financial aid
- Capital funds or other major initiatives
- Community outreach
The first fund of the MCMS Endowment, the Dorothy Zografi Scholarship Fund, was created by the MCMS Board of Directors in honor of long-time Head of School, Dorothy Zografi. Donating to the MCMS Endowment will ensure that your donation continues in perpetuity to support MCMS.
While most support comes in the form of check or in-kind gifts, many have become creative in their giving by using stocks and bonds. Making a planned gift may be as simple as remembering MCMS in your will or naming the school as a beneficiary of an insurance policy.

Video: Dickie V needs a TO baby!
Selection Sunday can be a long day in Bristol with the hours of pre and post bracket coverage. Dick Vitale was in Greensboro to call the ACC Title game and then appeared later in the evening on ESPN's Bracketology show. So, we can forgive him for mixing up New Mexico and UNLV after a long day's work. After all, they both play in the Mountain West and if you live east of Denver you probably haven't seen either of them play an entire game this season.
The gold in this clip though isn't the mix up, it's Dickie V not realizing he was live on the air when it happened (at least he didn't swear like Lawrence Frank or The Rock or Lee Corso so ESPN dodged a bullet there). Rece Davis finally alerts him to the fact that he's currently live on national television and Vitale asks for a TO BABY!!! before going back into his analysis...

Birthplace: | Spain |
Death: | Died in Constantinople |
Occupation: | Augusta |

Immediate Family
About Aelia Flavia Flaccilla Augusta
Aelia Flavia Flaccilla (died 385), first wife of the Roman Emperor Theodosius I. She was of Hispanian Roman descent. During her marriage to Theodosius, she gave birth to two sons — future Emperors Arcadius and Honorius — and a daughter, Aelia Pulcheria. She was given the title of Augusta, as her coinage shows. -------------------- Galla was a daughter of Valentinian I and his second wife Justina. She is listed as one of four children of the marriage by Jordanes. Her father was emperor of the Western Roman Empire from 364 to his death on 17 November 375. Her paternal uncle Valens was Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire from 364 to his death in the Battle of Adrianople (9 August 378).
Her father was previously married to Marina Severa. The only known child to come from this marriage was Gratian, Western Roman Emperor from 375 to his assassination on 25 August 383. Her mother was previously married to Magnentius, a Roman usurper from 350 to 353. However both Zosimus and the fragmentary chronicle of John of Antioch, a 7th century monk tentatively identified with John of the Sedre, Syrian Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch from 641 to 648 report that Justina was too young at the time of her first marriage to have children. . Galla thus had no known maternal half-siblings.
Galla had three full-siblings. Her only brother was Valentinian II. He was at first co-emperor with Gratian from 375 and the only legitimate Western Roman Emperor from 383 to his death by hanging on 15 May 392. His death was officially reported as a suicide but Arbogast, his magister militum was suspected to have had a hand in it. The accusation can be found in the writings of Socrates of Constantinople, Orosius, and Zosimus. Sozomen was less certain and mentioned both versions of how Valentinian II died.
Her two sisters were Grata and Justa. According to Socrates both remained unmarried. They were probably still alive in 392 but not mentioned afterwards.
Little is known on Galla and her full name is unknown. Galla is the female cognomen for Gallus. In Latin, Gallus could mean both an inhabitant of Gaul and a rooster. The association through word play would much later inspire the Gallic rooster, a national symbol of France.
She was cast into a role of significance because of conflict between three Roman emperors in the 380s. In 383, Gratian had died while facing a major revolt under Magnus Maximus. Maximus proceeded to establish his control of a portion of the Roman Empire including Britain, Gaul, Hispania and the Diocese of Africa. He ruled from his capital at Augusta Treverorum (Treves, Trier) and was able to negotiate his recognition by Valentinian II and Theodosius I, starting from 384. The area of Valentinian II had effectively been limited to Italia, ruling from Mediolanum (modern Milan).
In 387, the truce between Valentinian II and Maximus ended. The latter crossed the Alps into the Po Valley and threatened Milan. Valentinian and Justina fled their capital for Thessaloniki, capital of the Praetorian prefecture of Illyricum and at the time chosen residence of Theodosius. Galla had accompanied them. Theodosius was at the time a widower, his first wife Aelia Flaccilla having died in 385 or 386.
Theodosius granted refuge to the fugitives. According to the account of Zosimus, Justina arranged for Galla to appear in tears before Theodosius and appeal to his compassion. Galla was reportedly a beautiful woman and Theodosius was soon smitten with her, requesting to marry her. Justina used this to her advantage, setting a condition for the marriage agreement to be sealed. Under her condition, Theodosius would have to attack Maximus and restore Valentinian II to his throne. Theodosius consented to Justina's request, the marriage probably taking place in late 387.
The account was questioned by Louis-Sébastien Le Nain de Tillemont as inconsistent with the piety of Theodosius. Tillemont suggested that the marriage took place in 386, prior to the beginning of hostilities. However The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon considered Zosimus' account more likely and later works, including the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, have followed his example.
When she married Theodosius, Galla became both a Roman Empress and a stepmother to Theodosius' two sons from his first marriage, Arcadius and Honorius. Arcadius was the eldest and had been declared an Augustus in January, 383. He served as a nominal co-ruler to his father but was still approximately ten-years-old at the time of Galla's marriage.
In July-August, 388, the combined troops of Theodosius I and Vallentinian II invaded the territory of Maximus under the leadership of Richomeres, Arbogast, Promotus and Timasius. Maximus suffered a series of losses and surrendered in Aquileia. He was executed on 28 August 388. His son and nominal co-ruler Flavius Victor was also executed. His wife Elen and two daughters were spared. The condition for Galla's marriage had been met. However Justina died the same year, uncertain if she was able to witness the result of her efforts. .
Theodosius installed Valentinian and his court at Vienne in Gaul, away from Milan and the influence of Ambrose. Theodosius appointed Arbogast as magister militum for the Western provinces. Acting in the name of Valentinian, Arbogast was actually subordinate only to Theodosiu
Theodosius spend the years 388-391 in Italia. In his absence, Galla and her stepsons remained in the Great Palace of Constantinople. In 390, according to Ammianus Marcellinus, Arcadius had her expelled from the Palace. Since Arcadius was only thirteen, the decision could as well belong to those who governed in his name.
Zosimus reports her mourning over the death of her brother in 392. On 22 August 392, Arbogast declared Eugenius as an emperor without the approval of Theodosius. Negotiations with Theodosius to achieve recognition were unsuccessful. On 23 January 393, Theodosius declared his second son Honorius, an Augustus. The implication being that Theodosius alone was legitimate emperor. Conflict between Theodosius and Eugenius begun in 394, resulting in the Battle of the Frigidus (5 September - 6 September 394. Theodosius was victorious while Arbogast committed suicide and Eugenius was executed. The battle left Theodosius in control of the entire Roman Empire.
Whether Galla lived to see the victory is uncertain. According to Zosimus, she died in childbirth within the same year, the exact date not known.
A passage of Philostorgius was interpreted by Tillemont as identifying Galla as an adherent of Arianism. However the passage seems to actually mean that her mother was Arian. Galla herself is hovever identified as an Arian in the Chronicon Paschale.
