WET And Pilgrim Studios, The Producers Of Discovery's New Series The Big Brain Theory: Pure Genius, Launch Viewer Contest
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- WET's Mark Fuller and Pilgrim Studios' Craig Piligian, Executive Producers of Discovery's new reality competition series, The Big Brain Theory: Pure Genius, today announced a contest in conjunction with the show – airing Wednesday nights at 7pm E/P on Discovery – offering one innovative viewer per week the chance to win $5,000.
The contest dares at-home viewers to present their own solutions to the show's "Blueprint Challenge," put forth at the beginning of each episode to the show's contestants, then tested by two competing teams and judged by Fuller, show judge, scientist Dr. Christine Gulbranson, and a different Guest Judge each week.
Viewers have been entreating the judges for the chance to prove that they could do better than the show's contestants in creating the design "blueprint," which ultimately determines the elimination competition for the episode.
Said Fuller, "Since this show is about intelligence, innovation, and inspiring the country's youth to embrace S.T.E.M. – science, technology, engineering, and math – the judges and producers decided to give the public a chance to get in on the action. I say to all the viewers who've told us they're chomping at the bit, 'You've told me you could do better; well, here's your chance. It looks easy sitting in front of your TV, watching the contestants sweat. Put your brainstorm where your mouth is, and earn some cold, hard cash!'"Viewers will have the opportunity after each week's new episode to send Fuller and Gulbranson their solution to the challenge faced by the contestants in that week's episode, and the chance to win $5,000 each week. A total of up to $25,000 may be awarded over the next five weeks. "A master's in engineering is not necessary to enter, only a great idea," added Fuller.

Nottinghamshire will be without batsman Michael Lumb for four weeks due to an arm injury.
The England limited overs international picked up the problem while making 68 against Middlesex on Tuesday, his first half-century of the LV= County Championship season.
The left-hander, who does not require an operation, is now set to miss the county's next three first-class fixtures, as well as six matches in the NatWest T20 Blast.
"Michael needs a period of rest which is a blow at this stage of the season given his record in all formats," said director of cricket Mick Newell.
"It's very important that we allow him time to recover and get him back into the side knowing that Phil Jaques will only be around for three more weeks."
Australian batsman Phil Jaques has taken Lumb's place in the squad for Thursday's 20-over clash with Leicestershire.

Hi guys.
I've been asked by one of the schools I go to whether I'd be able to install FMS6 onto a seperate machine for someone, as they want to undergo some training on it in a quite room away from the office.
So I was wondering if anyone had any experience on installing FMS6. Does it have to be installed on a machine that has the whole of SIMS.Net, or can it be installed singularly? How do I go about installing it?
Just thinking that want to install it by itself so it's cheaper for the school as otherwise they'd have to get the sims people in to install it... Any help gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks,

Psychology and Crime by Clive R. Hollin (1989)
I've finished whizzing through this book - I'm slowly getting through the psychology and legal books I acquired en masse in 2005! I've used this book on two of my texts, which are updated accordingly. They are:* Crime runs in families: "UK Trash Culture" by Vexen Crabtree (2004)* Gender separation, male dominance and strict religion are correlated with high levels of rape in society: "Religion Versus Womankind" by Vexen Crabtree (2007)

Welcome back, darling! We love your hair.
After a full week of starlets and harlots, we are back again with a little recap of what you dames had to say! And as per usual, your opinions we're like our bra's: firm and necessary. Let's take a peek!
Ginnifer Goodwin
The "Once Upon A Time" star was spotted this week looking ever so twee and we just adored it. Mia Farrow was somewhere smiling with the slightest of glee. Let's see what you gals thought!
Tina Washburn: "Love her and her hair!"
Koala Bear: "Ensemble: Perfectly Executed."
Jennifer Chapman: "Drab, maybe its the hair but not my cup of tee. She would look so adorable with a pencil skirt and cardigan."
Rachel McAdams
Ms. Regina George herself was spotted this week with Dusty Springfield hair and we loved all of it. The dress is almost reminiscent of a 1930s Schiaparelli with a hint of Mod splashed in for good measure. We approve, regardless. Did you ladies?
Seara Kouhout: "Fab then I noticed the top of the dress is a big w and now its all I see lol still cute though"
Angie Leahy: " Love the hair and the top of the dress, but I think the bottom is too short. It would have looked way more elegant and polished if it was to the floor. "
Astare Gannon: "She looks FAB, until you see the black toilet paper stuck in her panties...that tail has got to go." (well played, dear)
Oprah Winfrey
Ms. Oprah herself was spotted this week in our favorite color and we couldn't help but applaud. From the body-con dress to the Diana Ross hair, we wholeheartedly were excited about this look. Chime in, gals!
Kathi McAdam: "Fab, fab, fab!!"
Laura Britt Cherrito: " Drab - looks like a bottle of Pepto"
Robyn Ashcroft: "And on wednesdays we wear pink!" (She can sit with us.)
Cyrstal Reed
The young starlet strutted out in this two piece pant suit and we fanned ourselves at the sight of cigarette pants! Finally, darlings! Throw in her Jackie Kennedy hair and we were beside ourselves. Separates, ladies. It's all about separates this fall! Let's hear those opinions!
Gretchen Buss: "LOVE the hair!! And the pants with a solid top would have been a better option. Too busy."
Elizabeth Conroy: "I love it! it's good also with the red lips"
Chrissy Jean: "Fabness!"
Lily Collins
Audrey 2.0 was spotted this week and was giving us the chills in this LBD ensemble! The hair! Those eyebrows! We simply adore this gal to pieces. Let's see if you dames share the love...
Jackie Garcia: "Lovely porcelain skin and her hair is rockin."
Melissa Goldstein: "This girl is absolutely gorgeous!!"
Jesselee Rubel: "Her porcelain skin is beautiful. Not everyone wants to bake themselves into a crisp and end up looking like a leather couch by the time they're 30. Not that being tan is a bad thing, just the obsession of it." (Preach, girl.)
Well there you have it- another week, another makeup bag full of opinions. Join us here every Monday as we take a little peek at the musings of our divine darlings!

that can substantially protect against the introduction of systematic influences (i.e., bias) other than the intervention condition under consideration. High ratings on credibility are usually given to comparative designs that involve: (1) random assignment of participants to conditions (i.e., needle exchange program versus "usual services"); (2) minimal attrition of participants from being measured; (3) measurement procedures that minimize the role of response biases; and (4) sufficient statistical sensitivity (i.e., statistical power).
It is unlikely that evaluations of needle exchange programs will ever be carried out with ideal controls that warrant high confidence in the conclusions that can be drawn from a single definitive study. There are at least two broad reasons for this: (1) multiple actions generally are initiated in a given community setting, making it difficult to separate the effects of a needle exchange program from those of other prevention efforts by studying time trends and (2) the development of a comparative research design that relies on random assignment of individuals to receive needle exchange program services (or not) has technical, ethical, and logistical difficulties. Given these limitations, it seems reasonable to explore alternative means of assessing the credibility of the evidence's underlying claims about the effectiveness of needle exchange programs. Before doing so, however, it is useful to examine how previous research reviews have attempted to incorporate the traditional emphasis on design-induced control.
Two reviews were commissioned by the federal government and published in 1993: one by the U.S. General Accounting Office (1993) and one by the University of California at San Francisco (Lurie et al., 1993). Prior to 1993, a number of other studies were published (Des Jarlais et al., 1985; Stimson et al., 1988).
A close examination of the manner in which these studies were conducted strongly suggests their reliance on the quality of the evidence in individual studies, which is based on the strength of their research designs. The language of the assessments also reflects the expectation that, when they are taken as a collective across studies, even though the designs are less than ideal, the preponderance of evidence will weigh in favor of or against a definitive conclusion about needle exchange programs.
Taken together, these studies tend to suggest that needle exchange programs are either neutral or positive in terms of potential positive effects and that they do not demonstrate any potential negative effects. However, each study's conclusions are often less than firm because of its methodological limitations.
When the designs of a group of studies are limited, little inferential clarity is gained by looking at the preponderance of evidence, even if it


text: Following a formal complaint filed by ANIMAL with the Child Protection Services, French-Mexican 11 year old bullfighter Michelito Lagravére was banned from performing at last night´s bullfight at Lisbon´s Campo Pequeno Bullring, in Portugal The "bezerrada" (a bullfight with a calf of 1 to 2 years old, weighing around 250kgs) was scheduled to take place last night, at Lisbon´s Campo Pequeno Bullring, in Portugal, at 11:45 p.m. The so-called "star" of the bullfight was the French-Mexican 11 year old bullfighter Michelito Lagravére, whose participation in a series of bullfights in Portugal over this summer was making headlines and sadly exciting the Portuguese bullfighting lovers. However, Portugal´s Child Protective Services stepped in, following a formal complaint filed by Portuguese animal protection organisation ANIMAL, which has denounced the situation to the Attorney General´s office, to the Authority for the Labour Conditions and to the Child Protective Services of Lisbon. In this complaint, ANIMAL highlighted the dangers for the child that this bullfight with a calve would pose and stressed out how this would infringe the existent labour legislation protecting children from child labour, and particularly protecting children who participate in cultural activities and spectacles from any possible dangers this can pose to them. ANIMAL also pointed out that, under the article 32nd of the UN Convention on the Rights of Children, of which Portugal is a signatory state, it is not lawful for a child to participate in a bullfight. Yesterday, at 17:00, about 7 hours before the bullfight, the Lisbon Center Child Protective Service notified the bullfighting promoters that the participation of Michelito Lagravére in this bullfight was not authorised. As other bullfights with this child-bullfighter are scheduled to take place in Portugal over the next weeks and months during the Summer, ANIMAL is now multiplying its efforts to prevent this from happening at any bullring of the country. Last year, in France, the Attorney General´s office of two towns in the South of France, Fontvielle and Arles, also prohibited the young bullfighter of participating in bullfights in these towns, following complaints filed by the French anti-bullfighting organization Alliance Anti-Corrida. In Portugal, bullfighting is experiencing the strongest opposition ever seen, with ANIMAL securing consecutive victories and gaining terrain in campaigning to abolish bullfighting in this Southern European country. Last year, a Lisbon Court banned RTP, the state-owned TV station, from broadcasting a bullfight before 10:30 p.m. and without displaying a permanent sign indicating it as a violent spectacle, following an injunction brought by ANIMAL. The court has also deemed bullfighting as a cruel and violent spectacle unsuitable for children and susceptible of negatively affecting the moral and psychological development of children and teenagers. Also last year, big international companies, such as Ben & Jerry´s, KODAK, Melka and Carlsberg, ordered their Portuguese branches to step away from any commercial association that they had with bullfighting. This year, following an intensive anti-bullfighting campaigning work carried by ANIMAL, the Mayor of the Northern capital of Viana do Castelo declared this city Portugal´s first anti-bullfighting city. Subsequently, the mayors of Braga, Cascais and Sintra have also took measures to not authorize bullfights in their towns. Through an intensive national and international campaign, ANIMAL also managed to stop the Regional Parliament of the Azores Islands from legalizing bullfights with Spanish-type &ldquoicadors", which would add up to the extreme violence towards the bulls that Portuguese-type bullfights already involve. For Miguel Moutinho, President of ANIMAL, "the participation of children in bullfights does not only constitute a violation of animal rights – it also constitutes a shocking violation of children´s rights. ANIMAL will do everything possible to have bullfighting banned once and for all and to, in the process of accomplishing that ethical goal, try to prevent children from being desensitized towards the suffering of animals and from being taught to, and praised for, torturing animals, as Michelito sadly does". ANIMAL can only carry on campaigning to abolish bullfighting and to forward animal protection in Portugal with your support – Please make as generous a donation as you can TODAY to help ANIMAL: http://www.animal.org.pt/ :: No More Crimes Without Punishment

Producer David Heyman is fond of telling the story of how in the late '90s he spearheaded the production of a small children's title from a relatively inexperienced publisher and a completely unknown author, and it ended up becoming the megaton juggernaut film franchise we all know and love today as "Harry Potter". Though his production company, Heyday Films, presumably had more than a little help at the time from Warner Bros., a decade and kajillion dollars later, it's a gambit that's not so much paid off as exploded through the stratosphere into blanket cultural ubiquity. With the franchise bowing out in spectacular fashion this weekend – a...Read More »

JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) -- A group of citizens can take credit for apprehending a man who allegedly snatched a purse from a 69-year-old woman in Janesville.
Janesville police say the woman was unloading items into her car at about 4:45 p.m. Saturday in a mall parking lot when the man grabbed her purse out of her shopping cart.
The woman fell when she tried to take it back and was slightly hurt.
Police say nearby citizens heard the commotion and chased the 28-year-old suspect, pinning him to the ground until officers arrived.
The man is tentatively charged with felony theft and is being held in Rock County Jail.

mop was a waste of money, and it would have been throwing good money away to send it back for credit!
By Wiv
from Lodi, CA
I could not assemble mop, correctly. When assembled, it would not extend far enough to wring mop as shown. Perhaps incorrect parts were shipped. It would cost me almost as much to mail it back as the mop cost. I have an old mop like it and I use it all the time. Very disappointed.

Alongside the film is a special edition newspaper also titled Trocadéro Days, featuring more photography by Nils Svensson, illustrations by Pontus Alv, and interviews with the other Converse skate ambassadors involved with the project. Look out for the newspaper at select skate stores across Europe.

This is a copy and paste from my facebook page, but I felt it was really important to say something, and equally valid here:
'I HATE that trashy Image style. Hiding bad drawing with flashy technique….'
Oh boy. I'm so tired of hearing this.
The internet nearly broke yesterday with a battle (on FaceBook) around good drawing, bad drawing, technique, bad manners, being able to take criticism or not, and whether a certain artist did or didn't deserve his success, and why we hate him, or not. It was epic.
I'm not going to go into the details. It got out of hand. My toes curled when I read all the comments. My heart sank. The entire original point of the thread was buried under a mound of vitriol which, justified or not, made me a little ashamed of my industry.
Comics are not all about good drawing. I've seen plenty of Jack Kirby anatomy that aligns to reality only in the most rudimentary sense, but we all know he was great.
The so-called Image style actually evolved at Marvel - and if you were around at the time you would have seen that all the guys progressing that style produced books that were the most interesting, dynamic and well-drawn (not that that matters) of the mainstream.
The guys that sparked this artistic revolution were brilliant stylists. Arthur Adams was one of the first to utilize hatching in such a bold way, playing with the way figures were drawn, and how best to show powers graphically. He inspired a legion of artists to try and do what he was doing (I remember J. Scott Campbell very humbly saying in an interview once "I'm not a Jim Lee clone! I'm an Art Adams clone!"
But it wasn't just Arthur, it was Barry Windsor-Smith, with his amazing detailed and symbolic work on stories like 'Red Nails' that informed this new approach. We had grown up being blown away by that work and wanted to try it. It was also the pioneering work done by Scott Williams on the inks, who himself inspired a generation of inkers. And there had also been inspiration in the tight, increasingly stylized work of John Byrne and Terry Austin (who's Starlord story with Chris Claremont remains a high water mark in my collection.)
Jim Lee and Marc Silvestri were the two guys that really inspired me the most during the time I was working on Marvel UK's Death's Head II. Paul Neary, the editor in chief, had introduced me to their work and wanted our Marvel UK work to share the house technique, and these guys blew my mind. Their XMen work, before the shiny paper and Image days, even before Photoshop coloring, was just stunning. It possessed great energy, bold layouts and a real underlying ability that I found utterly irresistible. But even the work of the much-vilified Rob Liefield oozed charisma and vigor. He dared to put the impetus of the story before continuity, and anything else. I could see the appeal, and put it in a similar category to Todd McFarlane's work of that time - who's Hulk run inked by Bob Wiacek I absolutely adored.
(As an aside - regarding continuity, Simon Bisley made a virtue of not giving a damn about that in his seminal ABC Warriors work, and we all applauded him for it. Rules are made for breaking!)
The so-called 'Image style' revitalized the mainstream. It brought me back to US superhero comics, which I had given up on to a very large extent. It inspired me. It excited me. It was bloody good stuff!!! Out of this style came me, Travis Charest, the late Michael Turner, Finch, Capullo, and many others who went on to great things.
When the books went glossy, and the color got shiny and lens-flare-happy it was, to be fair, a step away from the genuine class that preceded. But these were changing times, and there are always birthing pains. At times it did seem that the stylistic excesses overwhelmed the drawing - but make no mistake: it is NOT easy to do! And when a style so dominates where else do you go? If not MORE, then what?
Too often this amazing time is painted as vulgar and over-blown. The artistry is dismissed, the creators seen as second-rate and sometimes deserving of mass ridicule. I think it can get incredibly personal in ways it never could, nor ever should, in the past. Once the worst we got was a stinging letter in a letter column - and that could cause mass alcohol consumption and self doubt for a stretch of time all by itself!
Comics CAN be great art by incredible artists - the world's best in my opinion. But they can also just be bubblegum entertainment for people who just want to escape the world for half an hour and be transported somewhere magical. To judge all comics with the same expectation is futile and pointless. To mock or bully people who's art you have personally decided is sub par seems mean-spirited. That they may not be paragons of virtue themselves does not negate our own behavior.
We should be better than that. We should be an example.
That's just what I think. You may, of course, beg to differ.

All the black market injunctions
NORMALLY, we don't have to justify telling the truth but we do have to justify not telling the truth. The plain truth is that from the beginning, these smart guys — men who at times even attempt to outsmart themselves — have the same modus operandi. They think they are bold and with their boldness, they can intimidate the rest of society and browbeat all of us into submitting to their whims and caprices.Read More →

Who were Sanusi's supervisors?
WE have already embarked on a gradual descent to anomie. Some day soon, when we arrive at destination, we shall have no difficulty in recognising it. The early signs are very clear: we now have a country where evil is constantly celebrated and where people get away with murder in the manner of providing comic relief. We just laugh and get entertained.Read More →

Campaign, sensitisation and gimmickry
WE live in a world of oddities where one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. The best time to decide whether to climb up or not is when one is yet on the ground, not after one has climbed half way. In essence, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, should by now be deciding if it is honestly prepared to conduct the 2015 general elections. We think INEC is unprepared.Read More →
ABACHA LOOT: Unborn tomorrow, dead yesterday
STRONG man, Sani Abacha, had no reason to begin to provide for failure since he was sure that nothing was going to prevent him from transforming himself to the life president of Nigeria. Such a man had no cause to begin to disguise his loots. He was, therefore, an archetype of a Nigerian thief who could steal with impunity.Read More →

Sanusi's inconsistent consistency
EVIDENTLY, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has been quite loquacious. Since his ascendancy to the position of CBN Governor, there has been no holding the parrot's mouth. He has made his opinion readily available on every topic, including those vexatious political issues that had nothing to do with his role as the CBN Governor.Read More →

One morning, he came to the office to announce that his mother was critically ill and he needed money to procure her medication. Out ofRead More →
As we approach the 2015 war
IT was in the spring of 1974. My letter of admission to Mercy College, DobbsFerry, New York, to study Criminal Justice arrived our Bronx residence, in the presence of an American friend, Meredith. This letter produced an open ambivalence: while I was obviously elated, my friend was totally pensive. Her feeling emanated from the fact that the Jehovah's Witnesses, to which she belonged, had predicted that Armageddon – the apocalypse that would consume the world – was coming in the winter of that year. She rued the prospect of anyone wasting money and time, entering into a venture at the edge of a precipice.Read More →
Homosexuality: This new Western religion
ADMITTEDLY, our relationship with the West has been defined by undue duplicity. Close to 54 years of our so-called independence, we are still largely in chains. Nigeria's annual Balance Sheet is perhaps still prepared in Washington, DC. Even in the area of our much touted oil wealth, when the multi-nationals sneeze, Nigeria catches cold because they hold the key to the industry.Read More →
Fish Import: Fishing in troubled waters
NIGERIA, like any other country, needs genuine foreign investors. These investors must be kept under close watch. Otherwise, they could end up doing more harm than good. Occasionally, we must critically re-examine the role of some of the adventurers who come into the country under the guise of investment but with the sole aim of devastating our economy. Their modus operandi is to move in with big capital, plunder the country and leave it in ruins. Meanwhile, they have repatriated, a hundred-fold, the dubious capital they brought in.Read More →
Igue, the Ultimate Thanksgiving
TO this villager, going to Benin City from Oghada, a distance of some 64 kilometres, was an annual pilgrimage of sorts. From an early age, I accompanied my parents to the city where they sold yams, the main product from the farm.Read More →
Policy somersault, inconsistencies
WHAT is happening? At the end of last year, President Goodluck Jonathan finally robbed himself of the immense benefits of appearing before the National Assembly to present his Appropriation Bill, thus further whittling down the glamour of his exalted office. This is quite a negative development.Read More →
Too corrupt to fight corruption
WE wonder for how long our governance will be left at the level of comic relief. In most of the plays of Shakespeare, there are serious acts and scenes. In-between, there are breaks during which jesters are brought on stage to make people laugh and to lighten eyes that are already heavy.Read More →
Who wants to defend Kidnappers?
THIS is a spill-over from last week. It is becoming clearer what people mean when they talk of running from pillar to post. In 2011, the ink on President Goodluck Jonathan's inaugural papers had hardly dried when he started toying with the idea of a single tenure – first, of eight years; then seven years; and finally, six years.Read More →
Hypocrisy in the eye of Mandela

Budget scare and NASS phobia
Who is afraid of the National Assembly? We have no reason to think that our Presidents are not. During the administration of the late President Musa Yar' Adua, the man developed cold feet whenever it was time to appear before the National Assembly to present his budget proposals.Read More →

Governor's wife in Government House
Ordinarily, it might be unethical, or at least seemingly immoral, to be prying into a man's life; except that the moment a man accepts public office, he also accepts to subject his total being to public scrutiny in which case, his life becomes an open book or a farm that cannot be hidden.Read More →
A nation in search of itself
Ordinarily, you do not share, with your teeth, the meat you forbid. Our faith in the proposed National Conference is less than a mustard seed. We see it as another diversionary ploy intended to remove the attention of people from the failings of government and the 2015 project.Read More →
Local govts beyond oil
OIL has since become the mainstay of our economy. But oil is a depleting asset, which means that someday oil wells will dry up. Besides, the entire world is busy seeking alternatives to oil. Essentially, oil will not remain on the king's throne much longer. Our desire is that oil boom should not degenerateto oil doom.Read More →
Still on the shame of our pensions
IT is barely two months now since we wrote the article, "Pension: Waiting for the Dead man's Shoes". The reaction to that work has been absolutely overwhelming; hence we are impelled to return so soon to the issue, as an up-date to our readers. In our type of situation, salient points cannot escape being repeated.Read More →
Charity does not begin in Russia
Even before the Nigerian civil war, my father had always advised that if anyone offended us, we should resist the temptation to invite a soldier to fight for us, maintaining that if we invited a soldier to fight for us, he would beat up all those we wanted beaten up but when there were no more people to beat, he would pounce on us.Read More →
Paralysis of the Judiciary
Even without all the niceties that normally accompany major policy shifts, the Nigerian Judiciary was quietly sentenced to death some four years ago, when President Goodluck Jonathan was yet functioning in an acting capacity.Read More →
Ostentation and reward of corruption
President Goodluck Jonathan should have realised that because he wears this big crown, there are many people out there wanting to do things his way, particularly because our society remains largely one of monkey see, monkey do.Read More →
Who is now the President?
Last month, this column dealt exhaustively on the case of the screening of primary school teachers in Edo State. At the peak of an encounter between one of the teachers and the State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the latter asked: "Who is now the teacher?" The former responded: "You are the one, sir".Read More →
PDP crisis: The messier it comes

Stop the blames game

Dover announced a plan to spin off certain DCT operating companies into a standalone publicly traded company named Knowles Corp. This decision resulted in the split of several business units currently centralized under the Ceramic and Microwave Products (CMP) operating company. While the capacitor companies Dielectric Laboratories (DLI), Novacap, Syfer, and Voltronics will be part of the spinoff, the microwave companies BSC Filters, Dow-Key, K&L, and Pole/Zero will remain with Dover, forming the Microwave Products Group (MPG).

Why I Dumped Bank of America
Just before the market close on Tuesday, I sold Bank of America (BAC), a client holding since 2003. It had been my only U.S. financial stock, and I targeted it at 3% of the portfolio.
The company has been a good proxy for domestic financial shares during good times and bad. It also has paid a healthy dividend. I viewed the stock as one to buy and hopefully hold forever.
The reason I got out is my lack of faith in big mergers. History is replete with big, and even not-so-big, mergers that did not work out, AOL-Time Warner perhaps being the most infamous.
When news broke that Bank of America was buying Merrill Lynch (MER), I knew I would be selling in short order, simply because of the big mergers don't work concept, but there are some common-sense issues with the merger itself that are important.The obvious question is the timing. Why didn't Bank of America wait a day? Clearly Merrill Lynch would have fallen with the market on Monday, and BofA could have offered the same 50% premium on a much lower price. Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis implied that the deal may not have been there 24 hours later, noting the potential for other suitors to come in with bids. I'm not sure who else could pony up tens of billions of dollars to take on risk that might not be quantifiable. Further, the notion that proper due diligence could be completed between Saturday morning and Sunday night is difficult to fathom. The impression was given that the companies knew each other fairly well, which seems reasonable, but in considering how quickly things have been changing in the sector from week to week, a 36-hour turnaround for a $50 billion deal seems short, considering that BofA's market cap was $134 billion at the close on Tuesday.

Competitive Grants
The terms competitive grants and peer review mean different things to different people under different circumstances. The broad philosophy of these funding concepts is to fund research (or other projects) according to merit rather than some other criterion—for example, dividing resources equally among qualified applicants or constituencies. The challenge is to define and evaluate merit. Ideally, the organization providing the resources defines merit, and qualified reviewers who have been screened to minimize or eliminate vested interest (usually termed "peers," though they may not be peers technically), evaluate proposals. With this system, the best-qualified and most capable people and organizations usually obtain funding for research, so, in theory, the return on investment is optimized.
A problem, however, is defining what research is to be done. At the "basic" end of the research spectrum, the more limiting the criteria, the higher the probability of excluding a good idea that no one thought of previously but that might revolutionize a field. Therefore, to cast as wide a net as possible for good ideas, delimiters are minimized. For example, one might ask for proposals concerning biology of plants of agricultural importance. At the "applied'' end of the spectrum, there might be a solicitation for research on methods of decreasing nitrate levels in the Chesapeake Bay; to be more specific, one could stipulate "nitrates originating from hog manure." Very specific criteria often limit eligibility, and this may or may not be appropriate. Most nongovernment agencies, foundations, and businesses use competitive grants mechanisms, although they may have other names like "requests for proposals." If absolute criteria are set, the process equates with competitive bidding on contracts.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) uses a two-tier review system to guarantee both the scientific merit and public benefits of competitively selected research proposals. The first-tier review is by a group of scientific peers. The second-tier review is by a council of scientists and nonscientists that may take program and public priorities into account in making adjustments in funding decisions. In practice, the NIH councils have their impact largely at the margin of funding decisions, although they have the authority for more significant intervention (National Institutes of Health, 1992).
recommendations of two recent reports from the National Research Council and the National Academy of Sciences.
In Investing in the National Research Initiative (National Research Council, 1994a), the National Research Council's Board on Agriculture reaffirms its earlier (National Research Council, 1989) support for a much expanded competitive grants program for agricultural research. This committee concurs with the board's belief that competitive grants are the mechanism best suited to stimulate new fundamental research activities in specific areas of science and that they have unique advantages for food and agricultural systems research in relation to formula funds, special grants, and intramural research2: they are responsive and flexible, they attract a broad range of scientists from public and private institutions, and they cast a wide net—that is, they capture proposals that produce new alliances, new initiatives, and new approaches.
