FCC Asks for Comments on Privacy Issues Outlined by CDT
The FCC's National Broadband Plan was granted a month extension by Congress. The Commission is using the extension, in part, to put out an official call for comments on a range of important privacy issues that were first outlined by CDT in a letter to the agency.
In announcing its formal call for comments, the FCC says:
"In order to inform the Commission's development of a National Broadband Plan, the Commission has inquired about the relevance of online privacy protections to broadband adoption and deployment. For example, in the Notice of Inquiry initiating the National Broadband Plan proceeding, the Commission asked '[w]hat are consumer expectations of privacy when using broadband services or technology and what impact do privacy concerns have on broadband adoption and use?' The Commission has also
solicited responses to questions about online privacy as it relates to cloud computing.
"The Center for Democracy and Technology recently filed a letter with significant questions about the use of personal information and privacy in an online, broadband world. The Commission seeks public comment on the questions and topics raised by the Center for Democracy and Technology in its letter."
CDT plans to submit comments before the January 22 deadline.
Does CDT intend that we enter our comments here, on this site so that they may submit them in mass or that we as individuals should open the "official call for comments" PDF file linked to above?
I very much would like to have my opinion heard by the authorities. I am a Facebook user who feels my privacy has been compromised by the unscrupulous changes to their default privacy settings and current poor privacy policy.
I have also seen way too much of my information, including some related to my 10 year old daughter, posted for public view on 123people.com. Some of the items are understandable, stuff that I have intended for public consumption, and some of it has been aggregated to a remarkable degree beyond intent.
I feel very strongly that the law should require a default for all web site content providers to maintain a very high degree of privacy. There should be a clear and concise method for setting optional settings for layers of exposure of personally identifiable information. I should be able to constrain search engines, advertisers, friends and family members to the degree I am willing to accept.
Additionally, there should be full disclosure of exactly what is included in the exposed data to whom it is offered to. I should be able to see who sees what and what they see.
I feel that privacy is a fundamental right that should be explicitly protected and the consequences for choosing to expose certain data explained.
I support full rights to privacy.

How to be a 1-percenter
Thursday - 2/2/2012, 8:17am  ET
Neal Augenstein, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - It's rarefied air up there. The richest of the rich. The so-called 1 Percent.
Here's what to aim for if you hope to join those with household incomes in the top 1 percent of the region:
To be in the 1 percent in the District, you have to make $617,000 a year. That figure is down from $673,000 in 2007, before the recession.
In Maryland, the hurdle is a bit more attainable -- $477,000. In Virginia, the elite standard is $427,000.
The 1-percent club is tougher to reach in the D.C. metro area than in most of the country, where the national threshold is $387,000.
The hardest place to be included in the 1 percent is Connecticut, where it takes $651,000 a year.
According to analysis of Census Bureau data by Sentier Research, household income in the D.C. region has risen while it's fallen in the rest of the country.
Between 2007 and 2010, the District of Columbia had an increase in real median annual household income of 8.1 percent, from $55,505 to $60,000.
Thirty-eight states had decreases in real median household income over that period.

Steelers | Roethlisberger embarrassed by his own play
Sun, 29 Oct 2006 22:33:39 -0800
Associated Press reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger struggled during Week 8. He threw interceptions on two of the team's first three possessions and finished the game with four interceptions. He said he was embarrassed with the way he played and noted he is letting the whole team down. "In my wildest dreams, I didn't think I'd be playing this bad," he said.
Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. Mark Twain

2003 Ch'teau Lafite Rothschild - Pauillac
In-Store Notes
2003 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, First Growth, Pauillac, Red Bordeaux, France. 100 Points, Parker.Ch'teau Lafite Rothschild Description
The climatic year was marked by an exceptional heat wave the first fortnight of August with temperatures exceeding 40∞C together with low rainfall throughout the vegetative cycle. When tasted during the ?Futures?, the wine proved to be particularly rich, intense and unctuous with nice rounded tannins that offered a convivial side to the wine at this very early stage.
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
Wine Enthusiast: 97 Points
Wine Advocate: 100 Points
A modern day version of the 1959 Lafite, the 2003 Lafite Rothschild was bottled in mid-May, 2005 after achieving 12.9% natural alcohol ? hardly an astonishing figure given the vintage?s weather conditions. A combination of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, it represents a ripe version of the essence of Lafite-Rothschild. Dense purple-colored, with classic notes of graphite intertwined with melted licorice, creme de cassis, smoke, and flowers, it reveals extraordinary richness, opulence, power, purity, intensity, and viscosity. Whether this wine will close down or not is questionable as it is somewhat atypical given its sweetness and softness. Analytically, there are extremely high tannins, which I suspect will assert themselves in the future. Production in 2003 was less than half of normal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050.

Recipe by Wendy
"This refreshing version of mint mojitos features a springtime kick of cucumber. We love these at special gatherings and summer barbeques. A pitcher of this can be made a few hours in advance - just add alcohol at serving time."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 lime, quartered
2 sprigs fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 slices cucumber
6 cubes ice, or as needed
2 ounces white rum (such as Bacardi®)
4 fluid ounces club soda
This can be made for a group by mixing all appropriate amount of servings except for alcohol. Alcohol should be added when pouring servings. If not a fan of cucumber (I highly recommend it though) just omit. Best with crushed ice. They forgot to add all of this during the publishing process. thanks and enjoy~I appreciate any suggestions!
Good basic recipe, gives a great starting place with room to play with specifics. I generally prefer to use simple syrup in place of sugar. Simple syrup is easily made at home if you don't want to buy it (just boil 2 parts sugar with 1 part water until disolved, cool, and mix! It can be stored in a clean bottle in the fridge for a couple of weeks.) and adds a more mingled sweetness, since the sugar doesn't usually disolve completely in cold liquids. Try both and pick your preference. Also, if making in advance consider trying it with the alcohol added ahead of time. It gives the flavors a chance to mingle more than if just muddling. A possible variation, if looking for more cucumber flavor; blend cold water with chopped cucumber in a blender and strain out solids. Then you can still add the cucumber for a lovely garnish. (I recommend 2 cups cold water with 1 cup chopped cucumber if making multiples. That should mix 4 mojitos.)

That's an Interesting Looking House: Victorian Homes Part II

In our most recent "That's an Interesting Looking House" post, we talked about a few Victorian home styles. In this edition of "That's an Interesting Looking House," we're going to take a look at a couple more home styles from the Victorian era.

If you own a historic home, putting together the story of it can take you on a fun journey. It's kind of like piecing together a family tree, and parts of the process are the same. Who knows what you'll uncover?
That's an Interesting Looking House: Victorian Style
by Krissy Schwab on November 5, 2012 in Home Buying, Home Buying/Selling, Saving Money, Smart Shopper
Let me introduce to you the rebel of American home styles – the Victorian. When it hit the scene, it swept the nation. Unconventional, artistic, and never seen before on American soil, the Victorian style turned American home construction upside down in the mid to late 19th century.

Foresters end spring break on high note
Huntington, Ind. - The Forester baseball team (3-12) wrapped up spring break play by avenging yesterday's loss to Tiffin University with a 7-2 win against the Dragons Friday morning.
After outhitting Tiffin yesterday but coming up short on the scoreboard, the Foresters banged out seven hits and took advantage of three Dragon errors to score seven runs while limiting their opponent to two runs on seven hits.
HU got on the board in the second inning when Jamon Hammel and Marc Bowers each singled to put runners in scoring position. Brandon Van Metre's sacrifice bunt and Josh Lanphier's single down the left field line brought two runs across the plate to give HU a 2-0 lead.
The Foresters added another run in the following inning and the Dragons got one back in the sixth but HU blew the game wide open in the seventh. After two Foresters reached base on a hit pitch and throwing error, Adam Christner's two-run double pushed HU's lead to 5-1. Eric Schultz followed that up with a shot to right to add two more runs as Huntington cruised to the 7-2 win.
Bowers gave up one run on four hits and one walk while striking out four in eight innings to pick up the win. Derek McKinney came in for relief and pitched a one-run inning on three hits while striking out two. Schultz and Christner each finished with two RBI on a round tripper and double respectively to lead HU offensively.

If you're not sure whether your company's policies keep you in the clear, see how many of the following statements you can agree with.
If you're not sure whether your company's policies keep you in the clear, see how many of the following statements you can agree with.
From Hypocrites' "Do No Harm" to Google's "Don't Be Evil," the working world has a long history of good intentions. Nevertheless, maintaining an ethical enterprise can be tricky.
Profit is good, but too much is price gouging. Getting customers excited about an opportunity is great ... except when high-pressure tactics force emotional rather than rational decisions. We want contracts that protect our companies, but "fine print" clauses are often used to unfairly sideline legitimate customer complaints.
Where do you stand on the fairness spectrum? Take this sniff test: To see how your company fares on the ethics scale, answer yes or no to the four following statements.
Bad example: Not too long ago, I reported on a Long Island company that charged a woman $860 for a "major rebuild" on her toilet. Ninety minutes later, the worker walked out of her apartment after replacing $30 in parts. That's a labor rate of $547 per hour. (The local Lowe's would have replaced the entire fixture for less than $250, including installation.)
Bad example: Every case of ID theft suggests that credit bureau Experian is not too good at its job–which is, after all, making sure credit cards and loans are given to the correct people. But while we wait for a perfect applicant verification system, the company heavily promotes FreeCreditReport.com–a monitoring service and $700 million-a-year business that only provides a "free" credit report if you sign up for a $16.95-a-month subscription. (Note: There's nothing "free" about it.) And of course, you wouldn't need credit monitoring at all if Experian was getting its main job right in the first place.
Bad example: Alarm company ADT charged an Illinois woman $520 to install a home security system, and also locked her into a contract with a 75% early termination fee against unnamed additional installation costs. If the woman wanted out after the three-day "trial" period, she'd be on the hook for more than $1,600. The catch? The ADT contract stated the company wouldn't even respond to alarms until after the first week of the contract.
Bad example: When passengers on Holland America's luxury ship Zaandam fell ill with the highly contagious norovirus a few years ago, the company didn't take the ship out of service. Instead, they loaded the next group of Hawaii-bound vacationers from the harbor in San Diego, then locked down the common areas and sanitized while at sea. Passenger who'd paid thousands of dollars endured a voyage that was less than ideal. However, the cruise line PR rep did tell me, "It was probably more ideal than projectile vomiting and diarrhea." Compensation for that once-in-a-lifetime cruise that wasn't? A $60 coupon for a complimentary meal on a future trip. (Of course you'd have to spend big bucks just to be able to cash in on the credit.)
If you were able to agree with all four of the highlighted statements, your company is an ethical standout. Fewer than four, you may need to review policies to find ways to be more fair and open with your current and potential customers.
Please feel free to chime in with your own examples below.

► Pancreatic lineage progression is governed by PcG-dependent chromatin remodeling ► A temporal chromatin signature predicts regulators of pancreatic development ► Endocrine cells differentiated from hESCs in vivo are similar to native human islets ► In vitro-produced malfunctioning endocrine cells exhibit aberrant chromatin structure
Embryonic development is characterized by dynamic changes in gene expression, yet the role of chromatin remodeling in these cellular transitions remains elusive. To address this question, we profiled the transcriptome and select chromatin modifications at defined stages during pancreatic endocrine differentiation of human embryonic stem cells. We identify removal of Polycomb group (PcG)-mediated repression on stage-specific genes as a key mechanism for the induction of developmental regulators. Furthermore, we discover that silencing of transitory genes during lineage progression associates with reinstatement of PcG-dependent repression. Significantly, in vivo- but not in vitro-differentiated endocrine cells exhibit close similarity to primary human islets in regard to transcriptome and chromatin structure. We further demonstrate that endocrine cells produced in vitro do not fully eliminate PcG-mediated repression on endocrine-specific genes, probably contributing to their malfunction. These studies reveal dynamic chromatin remodeling during developmental lineage progression and identify possible strategies for improving cell differentiation in culture.

One of the must-stop places in Southwest Florida and a top choice for shell collectors. Prevailing currents in the region push water from the south to the north, causing shells to pile up on the east-west oriented Sanibel, which is mostly perpendicular to water circling the Gulf of Mexico. The island's old Florida charm, native shoreline and nearby J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge draw thousands of visitors each year. Sanibel is also famous for its restaurants and small beach shops as well as hand-crafted jewelry.
Pros: Homes along the beach are set well back from the shoreline, giving the beach an undeveloped feel. Bicycle is a popular mode of transportation and rentals are available.
Cons: Traffic in tourism seasons is horrendous. Expect a wait of two hours to get off the island during winter and spring months. $6 fee to get on the island doesn't include parking.
Likely visitors: Shell collectors, nature lovers and recreational bicyclisits.
Getting there: Coming from the south on Highway 41, make a left on Gladiolus Drive, then bear left on Summerlin Road, which turns into McGregor Boulevard. Pay the $6 toll for cars ($2 for motorcycles or free for bicycles) and continue onto Sanibel-Captiva Rd. Turn left on Periwinkle Way to reach Lighthouse Beach or continue going straight to reach the island's other beaches.
Parking: Parking at Sanibel's public beaches costs $2 per hour.

Odds To Win 2012-2013 NBA Rookie Of The Year: Anthony Davis
Tuesday, July 03, 2012
by Bovada Sportsbook
Former Kentucky star Anthony Davis was considered the only franchise player in this year's NBA draft and the now New Orleans Hornets big man is the overwhelming 6/5 favorite on Bovada Sportsbook's Odds To Win 2012-2013 NBA Rookie Of The Year.
Join Bovada Sportsbook NOW for an instant 20% Free Bet Bonus up to $100.
A center hasn't won the award since Emeka Okafor with Charlotte in the 2004-05 season – ironically the Hornets recently traded away Okafor to Washington to essentially open up the starting center job for Davis. New Orleans has had one Rookie of the Year winner in its history: point guard Chris Paul in 2005-06. Paul was traded before last season to the L.A. Clippers, which in essence made this year's Hornets team lousy enough to be in a position to win the draft lottery.
Davis will begin his pro career in the same city where he ended it with a national title and was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four. As a freshman, Davis was also named the National Player of the Year at Kentucky. He averaged 14.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.7 blocks for UK. Davis' over/under for points in his rookie season at Bovada Sportsbook is 11.5.
The Wildcats became the first school to have the top two picks and Davis' ex-teammate Michael Kidd-Gilchrist of the Bobcats is the second-favorite to be the top rookie next year at 7/1. He also should start right away on a team that had the worst winning percentage in NBA history last season.
Washington chose Florida guard Bradley Beal at No. 3 overall and Beal is the 19/2 third-favorite to be the league's top rookie along with former North Carolina star Harrison Barnes, who was chosen No. 7 by Golden State, and former Kansas star Thomas Robinson, who went No. 5 to Sacramento.
One rookie expected to make a big impact this season was actually chosen last year: Lithuanian big man Jonas Valanciunas was chosen No. 5 in 2011 by the Toronto Raptors but stayed overseas. He will play in the NBA this year and also is expected to play for his country in the upcoming London Olympics. Some speculate that Valanciunas would have gone No. 2 behind Davis in this year's draft had he been eligible.

text: Frequently Asked Questions American Recovery and Reinvestment ActThis page provides answers to frequently asked questions on Recovery Act reporting requirements, including registration, data entry, job creation estimates, and data review. Recipients of Recovery Act funds from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) must submit quarterly reports at http://www.FederalReporting.gov. This page provides answers to frequently asked questions on reporting requirements, including registration, data entry, job creation estimates, and data review.ContentsA. GeneralB. RegistrationC. Data EntryD. Job Creation EstimatesE. Data Review A. GeneralTo whom do the reporting requirements apply?All Recovery Act-funded, AHRQ contract, extramural grant, or cooperative agreement recipients must report information in accordance with Section 1512 of the Recovery Act on a quarterly basis using the http://www.FederalReporting.gov Web site. According to Section 1512 of the Recovery Act, prime recipients are responsible for fulfilling the reporting requirements for both prime and sub-recipients; however, prime recipients may delegate the reporting responsibilities to sub-recipients. In case of AHRQ-awarded grants or cooperative agreements, the prime recipient is the grantee institution. In cases where the prime recipient enters into a legal consortium or subcontract arrangement with another institution whereby the reporting terms would flow down to that other institution, that institution would be considered a sub-recipient. See the appendix of the OMB Guidance [ PDF file, 550 KB; Plugin Software Help] for definitions of recipients and sub-recipients.What is the role of the principal investigator (PI) in reporting?This may vary depending on the procedures established by the grantee institution. The institution is considered the grantee and is responsible for determining processes within the institution for completing the reporting requirements. The PI may or may not be involved.How long does the recipient have to enter data?The reporting window lasts from the 1st to the 10th of each reporting month (for example, October 1 to October 10). In addition, the 11th to the 21st day of each reporting month is available for recipients to review the data submitted and make any necessary corrections. On day 22 of the reporting month, all data submitted will be "locked" and cannot be modified unless "unlocked" by the Federal awarding agency.What can prime recipients do now to prepare for quarterly reporting periods?Institutions (not individuals) should register with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database if you have not done so previously.Register with http://www.FederalReporting.gov.Within your institution, determine what systems you will need to access to accommodate this reporting requirement. This could include purchasing systems, accounting systems, human resources/personnel systems, etc. Also, determine who within your institution will be responsible for the reporting requirement. Establish a consistent process and procedures to ensure that required reports are complete, consistently prepared, and accurate.When sub-recipients are involved, determine if you will be delegating the reporting requirement to the subs. If not, establish a procedure for collecting information from sub-recipients and vendors to fulfill the reporting requirements. Reporting spreadsheet templates are available on http://www.recovery.gov/.If you plan to delegate reporting responsibility to any of your sub-recipients, make certain any subcontract/consortium agreements are revised to document this responsibility. Also recommend that they prepare to register with FederalReporting.gov when registration is open.What can sub-recipients do now to prepare for the quarterly reporting periods? Obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number if you do not have one already.Work with prime recipients to determine if you have been delegated reporting responsibility; this may vary depending on the prime recipient.Register with http://www.FederalReporting.gov.Within your institution, determine what systems you will need to access to accommodate this reporting requirement. This could include purchasing systems, accounting systems, human resources/personnel systems, etc. Also, determine who within your institution will be responsible for the reporting requirement. Establish a process to ensure compliance with these reporting requirements.Begin data collection to send to prime recipients or enter into FederalReporting.gov.What are the ramifications of noncompliance with the recipient reporting requirements?Noncompliance of this reporting requirement will be treated as failure to comply with the terms and conditions of award and will be subject to the enforcement actions outlined in the Enforcement Actions section of the NIH Grants Policy Statement.The OMB 6/22/2009 guidance document defines a recipient and sub-recipient as "non-Federal entities." We have a consortium arrangement with a National Laboratory. Are they ineligible to receive Recovery Act funding?In most cases the National Laboratory is a Federally-Funded Research Development Center (FFRDC) or Government Owned/Contract Operated (GOCO) facility. In these cases the prime recipient or sub-recipient is actually a contractor that is a non-profit university, industrial firm, or other non-profit organization. PIs and key personnel are employed by the contract organization, rather than the Federal agency. Since the grantee is actually the contractor (a non-Federal organization), OMB has indicated there is no concern with these organizations receiving Recovery Act funding as either a prime or sub-recipient.Were there any pilots that happened prior to the October 2009 report?OMB conducted a controlled, limited pilot to early test user experiences. This was scheduled to happen during July 2009. Institutions and agencies involved in this effort have already participated.It would appear that most of the data being requested is already being reported by Federal agencies under the requirements of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA). Why do recipients have to provide data that is already available from Federal agencies? Federal agencies are working with OMB to see where pre-population of data from agencies is possible. This will help ensure better data quality. However, it is unknown at this time how much pre-population will be available for the October 2009 quarterly report. HHS also developed a tool that will provide as much of the data as possible from the HHS TAGGs database. More information about HHS TAGGS can be found at: http://taggs.hhs.gov/.How does a recipient access the FederalReporting.gov help desk?The help desk contact information is available at https://www.federalreporting.gov/federalreporting/help.do and provides help with user functions related to the registration and reporting processes. Questions regarding specific Recovery awards or programs should be referred to the Federal Awarding Agency.If recipients have a question that cannot be answered by the FederalReporting.gov helpdesk whom should they contact?Grantees and contractors should contact their assigned program official at AHRQ on issues concerning this quarterly reporting requirement. Additionally, the AHRQ OS Helpdesk is available to answer questions Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST by phone at 1-877-681-8986 or by E-mail at email@example.com can I find recordings of the OMB Webinars conducted July 20-July 23, 2009?Recordings of the Webinars are available at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/Recovery/WebinarTrainingMaterials/.How will the reports entered into FederalReporting.gov be made available to the public?On the 30th day of each reporting month, all reports will be made available on http://www.recovery.gov/ and on individual Federal agency recovery Web sites.My institution received a Recovery Act award from AHRQ, but then the PI moved so the entire award was cancelled. Must we still comply with the Section 1512 report?No. If the award was cancelled, there is no requirement to include the project in the quarterly report.Will institutions receiving awards just before the reporting period need to include those in the quarterly report? For instance, for the first report due in October 2009, will institutions have to include those awards just issued in September 2009?At this time, the answer is yes. All awards issued prior to the reporting due date will be required to be included in the quarterly report. For example, for the October 2009 report, all AHRQ awards issued on or before September 30, 2009, were included. However, AHRQ anticipates that no activity would be reportable for such awards. Consequently, it would be acceptable to indicate "Not Started" for the Project Status and "0" for the Number of Jobs. AHRQ also plans to take into consideration this timing issue as part of our review of the data submitted.When should a Federal contractor submit its final quarterly report?Contractors that have complied with their Section 1512 quarterly reporting requirements, in accordance with the clause 52.204-11, will no longer be required to submit Section 1512 reports after their final report, as defined herein, is submitted. A Contractor's final report is the report submitted for the quarter during which the following circumstances in 1 and 2 occur:(a) The contractor has completed the required Recovery Act-funded deliveries or services (including construction) and(i) the Government has accepted these supplies or services (including construction); or(ii) the agency is satisfied that the Recovery Act-funded deliveries or services (including construction) are complete per agency requirements.(b) All Recovery Act funded option provisions, if any, have expired; or(c) The Government has given the contractor a notice of complete termination for the Recovery Act funded contract, order, or portion of the contract or order funded by the Recovery Act, and there were no termination costs paid with Recovery Act funds. For rental, use, and storage agreements, the Government has given the contractor a notice of complete termination for the Recovery Act funded agreement or portion of the agreement funded by the Recovery Act and there were no termination costs paid with Recovery Act funds or the agreement period has expired.The contractor has invoiced for all Recovery Act funded supplies and services (including construction). The contractor's final report will indicate a "Y" in the Final Report data field and "Fully Complete" in the Project Status data field in FederalReporting.gov. Indication of a final Section 1512 report does not replace any other closeout procedures required by the contractor or Federal agency. For more information on administrative closeout procedures, please see Federal Acquisition Regulation Section 4.804.Return to Contents B. RegistrationMy institution is already registered in Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and Grants.gov. Do we need to separately register in FederalReporting.gov? Yes, separate registration in FederalReporting.gov is required.How do recipients register to use FederalReporting.gov?Recipients should register with http://www.FederalReporting.gov well in advance of the October reporting window. You only need to register once. To register, prime and sub-recipients must have a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, and prime recipients must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. Recipients who do not already meet these requirements should take immediate steps to prepare for registration. Further detailed information on CCR and DUNS numbers are available at http://www.ccr.gov/FAQ.aspx and http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform.Who should I contact with registration questions?The registration and reporting processes will be supported by a new FederalReporting.gov help desk.Return to Contents C. Data EntryHow does a recipient submit reports into http://www.FederalReporting.gov?There are two methods available to submit reports into FederalReporting.gov for the October 2009 report. The reporting organization can choose the most convenient method for reporting among the following:Online data entry in a Web browser: The Web site provides a straightforward data entry form, available via the user's Web browser, for report data entry.Excel® spreadsheet: The Web site will make a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet available for report submission. The user can download this spreadsheet, open the spreadsheet in Microsoft's Excel® spreadsheet program and fill it in.More information on each of these methods is available in Section 3.6 of the OMB guidance document [PDF file, 550 KB; Plugin Software Help].Note: the OMB guidance includes a third option for using XML; however, it does not appear this option will be available for the October 2009 report.How long does the recipient have to enter data?The reporting window lasts from the 1st to the 10th of each reporting month (for example, October 1 to October 10). In addition, the 11th to the 21st day of each reporting month is available for recipients to review the data submitted and make any necessary corrections. On day 22 of the reporting month, all data submitted will be "locked" and cannot be modified unless "unlocked" by the Federal awarding agency.In Section 2.3 of the OMB guidance (page 10) there is a sentence indicating"Administrative costs are excluded from the reporting requirements." Does this mean the administrative portion of Facilities and Administrative (F&A)/indirect costs should not be reported?No. Grantees are required to report on the total costs awarded, which include both direct and F&A/indirect costs. OMB will issue a clarification on what is meant by "administrative costs" in this context. However, it does not mean the administrative portion of F&A.How does a recipient make a report correction to a submission?A recipient may decide, or may be asked by a subsequent reviewer, to make a correction to a submission. The entity submitting the report is the data owner of the submission and is therefore responsible for applying any corrections. If the data was submitted in an online form, the data fields can be modified and saved. If submitted via Excel spreadsheet file, a new file with corrections will need to be uploaded. Recipients will have until the 21st of each reporting month to make corrections. After that date, the data will be locked and cannot be modified by the recipient unless the Federal agency unlocks the data. In the event a correction is noted after the data becomes public on the 30th of the reporting month, recipients will use the next quarterly report to make the correction.What is a Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) and where can a grantee find this for a particular award?TAS stands for Treasury Account Symbol; a unique number for each Institute/Center (IC). A TAS number look-up tool is provided on the Excel spreadsheet reporting template. Tip: All HHS TAS numbers begin with 75. The TAS should be entered as follows: 75-XXXX.We expect that recipients directly entering data into FederalReporting.gov will have a similar tool or a drop-down list of values from which to choose the appropriate TAS number.What codes are helpful for recipients who need to enter data?Helpful Codes for Recovery Act Reporting on Contracts, Grants, and Loans:Awarding Agency Code* for AHRQ—7528.The Funding Agency Code for AHRQ is 7528.For contracts, the AHRQ Government Contracting Office Code is —00290.Program Source (TAS):75-1701—Healthcare Research and Quality, Recovery.05-0108—Salaries and Expenses, Recovery Act* The Awarding Agency Code and Funding Agency code may change if the money comes from a source other than AHRQ appropriated funds. If you are unsure about the funding or awarding agency codes, please contact your project officer for technical assistance.Return to Contents D. Job Creation EstimatesWhat is the difference between a job created and a job retained?A job created is a new position created and filled or an existing unfilled position that is filled as a result of the Recovery Act; a job retained is an existing position that would not have been continued to be filled were it not for Recovery Act funding. A job cannot be counted as both created and retained.Are "Jobs Created" and "Jobs Retained" reported separately?No. These are combined as a single data element titled "NumberOfJobs" in the Data Model [ PDF file, 925 KB; Plugin Software Help]. Even if the prime delegates other reporting responsibilities to the sub-recipient, the NumberOfJobs data element is not separately reported by the sub-recipient.]Who reports the job figures for sub-recipients—prime recipient or sub-recipients?This will be the responsibility of the prime recipient to report as a single, combined number.How are full-time, part-time, and temporary jobs reported?The estimate of the number of jobs required by the Recovery Act should be expressed as "full-time equivalents" (FTE), which is calculated as total hours worked in jobs created or retained divided by the number of hours in a full-time schedule, as defined by the recipient (go to pages 35-36 of the OMB guidance document [PDF file, 550 KB; Plugin Software Help] for more information). The FTE estimates must be reported cumulatively each calendar quarter.Can percentage effort be used to measure FTEs instead of hours?Yes. An alternative calculation based on the allocable and allowable portion of activities expressed as a percentage of the total is acceptable for recipients of assistance agreements that must comply with OMB Cost Principles (such as Circular A-21, Cost Principles for Educational Institutions and circular A-122, Cost Principles for Non-profit Organizations). For example, a full-time faculty member charging 50% effort on a Recovery Act award will be counted as .5 FTE. Hourly and part-time employees shall be calculated based on actual hours worked on the sponsored agreement and the institution's definition of a full workload for employment.How are National Research Service Award (NRSA) trainees/fellows counted?Although NRSA trainees and fellows are not considered employees of the grantee institution, for the purposes of the Section 1512 reporting these positions should be reported as Jobs Created/Jobs Retained. One full-time appointment for 12 months would equal 1.0 FTE for the number of jobs; a full-time appointment for only 6 months would equal 0.5 FTE.Is the job figure a cumulative figure? Would you expect it to grow each quarter?The job figure is a cumulative figure; however, the number of FTEs does not necessarily have to grow each quarter. For an example refer to page 35 of the OMB guidance document [PDF file, 550 KB; Plugin Software Help].Return to Contents E. Data ReviewWhat is the timing of the review period?From the 11th to the 21st of the reporting month, the prime recipients review the reports. This review is particularly critical when a prime has delegated reporting requirements to sub-recipients. If a prime recipient notes a mistake in a sub-recipient's report, they must contact the sub-recipient and have the sub-recipient make the correction. Only the party who initially submitted the report is able to make changes. AHRQ can see the data at this time and, due to the limited time available for agency review, may actually begin a preliminary review prior to the 21st. Beginning on day 22 of the reporting month, the reports are locked from further changes, and AHRQ has 7 days to conduct their review. If a change is needed during this period, a notification will be sent to the recipient describing the discrepancy. Note: even if the prime recipient has delegated this reporting requirement to sub-recipients, AHRQ's communication will be with only the prime recipient. This notification also serves to unlock the report so the recipient can change it. Any changes must be transmitted by the 29th of the month. On day 30 of the reporting month, regardless of the review status, the reports are published on Recovery.gov.What will AHRQ look for during their review of recipient reports?AHRQ will initially be reviewing for material omissions and significant errors as defined in the OMB guidance document. However, we expect this to be an evolving process and will adapt our level of review as time and experience suggests.What is the definition of a material omission?Material omissions are defined as those instances where required data is not reported or reported information is not otherwise responsive to the data request and such reporting gaps result in significant risk that the public will be misled or confused by the recipient report in question. For example, a recipient required to report a description of a purchase made from a vendor may not provide sufficient detail in the description for the reader to derive the nature of the purchase.What is the definition of a significant reporting error?Significant reporting errors are defined as those instances where required data is not reported accurately and such erroneous reporting results in significant risk that the public will be misled or confused by the recipient report in question. An example of this would be a recipient, or sub-recipient, who reports expenditures in excess of the amount awarded by the Federal funding agency, excluding funding resulting from match requirements.The "Total Federal Amount Recovery Act Funds Received/Invoiced" data element will not reconcile with the number that will be reported for the quarterly PMS272 cash transaction report. Is that a problem?Due to the timing of the required reports, it is recognized that the Total Federal Amount Recovery Act Funds Received/Invoiced figure reported for the Section 1512 quarterly report may differ from that submitted on the quarterly PMS272. Grantees should report figures to the best of their knowledge and ability at the time each report is due.Who is responsible for the quality of data submitted under Section 1512 of the Recovery Act?Prime recipients, as owners of the data submitted, have the principal responsibility for the quality of the information submitted. Sub-recipients delegated to report on behalf of prime recipients share in this responsibility. Agencies funding Recovery Act projects and activities provide a layer of oversight that augments recipient data quality. Oversight authorities including the OMB, the Recovery Board, and Federal agency Inspectors General also have roles to play in data quality. The general public and non-governmental entities interested in "good government" can help with data quality, as well, by highlighting problems for correction.Is AHRQ required to certify or approve data for publication on Recovery.gov or agency Web sites?No. AHRQ is required to run a data quality review process consistent with Sections 3 and 4 of the OMB guidance document [PDF file, 550 KB; Plugin Software Help]. These actions are expected to occur prior to the 30th day of the reporting month. Reports will be posted on the 30th day after the end of the quarter regardless of the outcome of AHRQ data quality review efforts.How will issues identified under the data quality reviews be communicated to the public?Federal agencies will be required to classify submitted data using the following three categories:Not reviewed by agency.Reviewed by agency, no material omissions or significant reporting errors identified.Reviewed by agency, material omissions or significant reporting errors identified.Within the third category, to the extent the agency identifies any data that it has reason to believe is false or misleading that has not been corrected by the recipient or sub-recipient, the Federal agency must provide such findings to firstname.lastname@example.com so that the Recovery Board can make such instances public on the Web site http://www.recovery.gov.The system will automatically default to the first category of "Not reviewed by agency" if an agency has not chosen one of the above three categories before the 29th day of the process.Return to Contents Current as of April 2010 Internet Citation: Frequently Asked Questions: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
