Real Madrid kick us off...
Pepe commits the first foul of the game and Mark Clattenburg gives him a stern talking to.
Sevilla have started the brighter.
There is plenty of noise at the Cardiff City Stadium and a beautiful rainbow shines over the city.
Bale gets on the ball and goes to ground, with Suarez bearing down on him.
He went down quickly and Clattenburg waved him away.
The Sevilla fans were suggesting our boy was cheating.
Bale curled effort deflected past Beto's far hand post. Ronaldo fouled on edge of the box in a very dangerous position.
Ronaldo fires it over and onto the roof of Beto's net with the aid of a deflection.
Pepe, not for the first time in his career, treading a tightrope after foul on Suarez. Sevilla player taken out in back play as well.
Chance for Bale...
Ronaldo to James, whose brilliant cross finds Bale but his left footed effort back across goal turned away by Beto.
Entertaining game here. Vitolo tested Casillas before Sevilla cleared a teasing cross from under their own bar. Madrid having better possession but Sevilla a quality counter-attacking side.
Ronaldo turns his man like he wasn't there after Benzema ball low across box. Acres of space, fires the ball goalward but straight at Beto. Out for a corner which is eventually over from Real.
Big chance Ronaldo after Benzema ball in and brilliant first time turn. Beto saves low down.
1-0 Real Madrid
That man Ronaldo.
He passes to James and proceeds to run up the right hand side calling for it all the way.
James gives it to Bale whose cross is inch-perfect and Ronaldo slides it in at the back post. Great goal. Brilliant movement from Ronaldo. World class football on show at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Ronaldo was calling for that ball from the minute he passed it to James.
Brilliant movement on the right and superb ball from Bale.
James and Ramos get in all sorts of trouble at the back, ball falls to Carrico whose effort hits Casillas and goes over the bar. Big chance for an equaliser there.
Chance Sevilla
Casillas is forced into a great save as the men in red counter attack quickly.
Real are being forced back all of a sudden.
Sevilla still pressing.
Free kick from the left is scrambled clear by Real.
It would not be unfair it they went in 1-1.
Meanwhile, Real counter attack and Ronaldo goes down but Mark Clattenburg waves him away.
Real Madrid 1-0 Sevilla
Our boy Bale has been superb. He set up a goal for Cristiano Ronaldo and Real lead 1-0.
The most expensive trike force in the world are making it happen tonight...
Sevilla kick us off for the second half.
Cristiano Ronaldo does it again, this time with a left footed belter after a nice ball from Benzema.
Real Madrid 2-0 Sevilla
Bale shows what he can do with a powerful run down the right that strikes panic into the hearts of the Sevilla defenders.
Real have a corner and Sevilla look in real trouble.
Even the dog's watching the Super Cup tonight because it's in Cardiff! pic.twitter.com/z3e3vWsBPB— Jennie Griffiths (@GriffithsJECtrl) August 12, 2014
I'm told this is the 71st time Ronaldo has scored two or more in a match for Real Madrid.
Great save by Beto from James.
His left foot rasping half volley turned away after Bale spotted him.
Benzema over after a stunning Real Madrid move from their own 18-yard box involving Kroos, Bale, Modric.
Isco on for James who had a creditable debut in Madrid colours.
15 minutes to go and Real can really show off their skills now.
The fans are enjoying this.
5 minutes plus added time to go in Cardiff.
The fans seem to have enjoyed this one. It has been a great night and a great show from Real's big-guns.
Sevilla havn't given this up but time is running out for them now.
3 minutes of added time...
Real Madrid 2-0 Sevilla
It's a happy homecoming for Gareth Bale.
Da Iawn Gareth
Thanks for joining us throughout the day and night and keep checking WalesOnline.co.uk/football for all the post-match reaction and analysis from the Cardiff City Stadium.

Got a shiny new tablet for Christmas that you just know will make life at work easier? Not so fast, especially if you're a government employee.
While a number of agencies are testing out bring-your-own-device programs, and some have policies in place, BYOD remains in a cautious early phase. But whether the users are in the public or private sector, the post-holiday surge in new smart phones and tablets inevitably means a lot of new devices on the network – and plenty of accompanying security risks.
"When new devices go on the network, they provide new angles for malicious activity both on the network and in government data," said Faisal Iqbal, systems engineering director for public sector at IT firm Citrix. "The first key thing is to have a policy that will either physically allow or prohibit certain devices. If there's no policy, users will try to get on the network and try out their devices, and may expose vulnerabilities in the network or VPN and potentially cause a breach. Policy is key to understanding what employees are allowed and not allowed to do."
Having rules in place is critical, but challenges still remain. At the federal level, there can even be conflicting policies, as well as competing priorities.
"With senior leadership, they want things now, they want [the device] fast, and they want it to be able to do what they want it to do, not necessarily what the policy wants it to do," Maj. Linus Barloon, chief of cyber operations division in the J3 directorate and cyberspace officer in the Air Force's White House Communications Agency, said at an AFCEA mobility event in November. "We have to understand our user environment, where we have users to support that are military so we have to follow the [Defense Department] policies. But we also have users to support following federal policies, such as with the Secret Service and [the White House]. When I look at the environment from my perspective, it's very blurry."
To help clear things up, particularly as agencies and companies begin to see a wave of new devices on their networks, there are steps that can be taken to mitigate risk while still yielding mobility's benefits, including increased productivity and cost savings.
For one, old devices should be taken off the network.
"We've noticed movement immediately, across all of our numbers, of new-device registrations going up around and just after Christmas, and staying up for weeks," said David Lingenfelter, information security officer at Fiberlink Communications, a mobile and security management company. "We're seeing a lot of new devices put on the network in addition to existing ones, but we're not seeing the removal that we should be seeing. There needs to be more education about removing and wiping devices and corporate information."
Failure to wipe the devices means that adversaries could gain access to whatever may have been used on that phone – an iTunes account, banking information or other sensitive data.
Some other tips Lingenfelter offered:
Looking beyond the incorporation of new devices, containerization features that keep work and personal apps separate are gaining momentum in the federal government, and the concept of guest networks that allow carefully managed access is beginning to gain traction.
Whatever the policy, it is worthwhile to find a way to make some form of BYOD work.
"Not creating policies means losing out from a productivity perspective. And it allows agencies to forgo costs of purchasing on the government's dime," Iqbal said. "Folks bring in pre-configured devices, keep in touch, work from anywhere and really change the face of the agency that has adopted mobility. It's a way to save costs and increase productivity literally overnight – it's an opportunity."

Analysts Target September for Fed Tapering
By Hal M. Bundrick
NEW YORK ( MainStreet)--A slow and steady course of improvement is forecast for the U.S. economy, according to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association's (SIFMA) Economic Advisory Roundtable. The analysts expect the economy to grow at a rate of 1.7% for the full-year 2013 and 2.6% in 2014.
"Our Roundtable maintains their forecast for moderate economic growth for 2013 and 2014, with upside and downside drivers varied among respondents," says Kyle Brandon, managing director and director of research at SIFMA. "Generally, the continued housing recovery and low energy prices were seen as positive drivers of growth, while external factors such as Europe and emerging markets featured as the downside risks to the economy."
The median forecast called for gross domestic product (GDP) to rise 1.7% in 2013 on a year-over-year basis, and by 2.0% on a fourth quarter-to-fourth quarter basis. For full year 2014, the median forecast was 2.6% year-over-year; on a quarterly basis, the first two quarters of 2014 were expected to stabilize at 2.7 and 2.9% annualized GDP growth, respectively.Incremental improvement is anticipated in the outlook for jobs but unemployment is expected to remain at elevated levels throughout 2013 and 2014. Survey respondents predicted the full-year average unemployment rate to decline to 7.5% in 2013, a slight improvement from the end-year 2012 forecast of 7.7%, with a further decline to 6.9% expected in 2014.

Dear Reader
DEAR READER: Spending 'beach reading' afternoon with Justin Bieber, really
There are plenty of candidates for leisure reading this summer. First up is something that certainly fulfills that "not-so-complicated plot" requirement for a beach read.
DEAR READER: Missourian site is ending its time paywall and moving to surveys for revenue
A program through Google will present short one- or two-question surveys before users can read a story. If you are a member, you won't see any surveys.
DEAR READER: Helping readers navigate style changes in the news
The Missourian editors will be examining changes to the Associated Press Stylebook and deciding which to implement with its own style. If you have a revision for us to consider, please send it along by Friday.
DEAR READER: A wreck on the road hits home
Photos from a motorcycle accident prompted strong reactions from some readers.
DEAR READER: That Washington team's name? You make the call
Redskins is an offensive term. Others might disagree, but that's not the point: The context is. Using the R- word casually serves no good purpose. Using it to engender debate and understanding does.
DEAR READER: Be a big man on campus when it comes to sex
What you need to drill into your brain and the brains of every other man on campus is that it's not OK to get drunk and stupid and then have sex with a woman who is drunk and stupid.
DEAR READER: This year's Progress Edition — a look at Columbia's groundbreakers
The Missourian's annual Progress Edition appears as an insert in today's newspaper — and it can be found as a digital section on the Missourian website. This year, as the definition of progress, the Missourian chose innovation.
DEAR READER: MU fails with sexual violence policies, reacts slowly with task force
The first phase of a task force formed in the wake of Sasha Menu Courey's death was stunningly underwhelming. The task force made an inventory of resources and found the phone book, but you have to start somewhere.
DEAR READER: Redesigned Vox features new cover, content, type
Vox magazine unveiled a new look this week, and the whole staff is abuzz. We kept our audience in mind as we worked to create the new Vox.
DEAR READER: Darwin's theory is proved daily as changes, connections move us forward
A science fiction book, a new car and two celebrations of women might seem unrelated at first glance, but they all reinforce that change is supposed to happen — and you can't run from it.
DEAR READER: 'Over' causes 'more than' a little stir at editing conference
The AP's distinction between "over" and "more than" has caused more than enough problems for editors and writers. After this past weekend, we can finally get over it.
DEAR READER: When should we say an online article has been changed?
The news is always changing, but do readers need to know every time an online article undergoes an edit? The question of when news editors should mention that an online article has been changed offers a new transparency challenge for journalists.
DEAR READER: Kurt Schaefer's bill adds some heft to state's Sunshine Law
Exceptions to the Sunshine Law effectively restrict government transparency in some cases. (Did you know the U.S. didn't even make the top 50 in the World Press Freedom Index?) Legislation in the state Senate would tighten some language in those exceptions.
DEAR READER: Documents in University Village fatal collapse are numerous and not pretty
Digging out the facts about University Village and the safety of its buildings is a task that is far from over.
DEAR READER: Amid the news of Michael Sam, a titan in Columbia passes
Wynna Faye Elbert spent a lifetime giving voice to those who were otherwise voiceless. It is ironic that her life story was buried in the public conversation this week by news of Michael Sam's coming out.
DEAR READER: Too many Americans didn't read in 2013
Even though more Americans opted for e-books than ever last year, nearly 25 percent of U.S. adults didn't read a single book — in print or on screen.
BEHIND THE STORY: The Michael Sam story began brewing in August
When do you out a college football player? Not when you know.
DEAR READER: Before athletics or official actions, the ESPN report is about a violent attack on a woman
ESPN's "Outside the Lines" report on an MU swimmer is a sad example of the epidemic of sexual violence on college campuses.
DEAR READER: There's work to be done in closing the poverty gap
The biggest barrier to closing the gap isn't race or gender or geography. It's poverty. Or, as the Missourian Readers Board put it this week, the divide between the haves and the have-nots is growing wider and with little evidence that things are changing.
DEAR READER: Words of the Year form odd collection
"Because," "selfie" and "science" were picked by three organizations as 2013's Word of the Year.

Sony's put out the first details of DanceStar Party following the game's appearance at E3.
It makes use of the PlayStation Move and, as you may have guessed, it's essentially SingStar for dancing.
In fact, it's even more like SingStar Dance, which arrived at last year's E3. This time, however, foot-tapping and hip-swinging are the core experiences.
"The key project target was to make the game fun and social, so we have party modes that make it really easy to drop in and drop out, encouraging groups to play together," game director Dave Ranyard told the EU PlayStation Blog.
"There are eight tracks playable here but there will be 40 on the disc when the game comes out and we've split that 50/50 between bang up to date music and some stuff that your mum might remember."
Read the whole interview on the PS Blog via the link below.
The obvious candidate for DanceStar Party's biggest competition is Kinect's Dance Central 2, which was revealed on Monday.

To create this refreshing salad, we started with an easy recipe for pickled daikon from chef Alexander Ong of Betelnut restaurant in San Francisco. Try it with his "Chinese Glazed Riblets with Garlic and Thai Basil."
Sunset JULY 2012
1. Cut daikon lengthwise into 1/2-in. slices, then stack and cut into 1/2-in. cubes. Toss with salt in a medium bowl. Let stand about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, to draw out moisture. Rinse daikon well and drain. In bowl, stir sugar with vinegar until dissolved, then stir in daikon, oil, and chiles. Chill, covered, at least 4 hours and as long as 1 week.
2. Drain daikon, reserving pickling liquid, and discard chiles. In a large bowl, toss together napa cabbage, onions, sesame seeds, and daikon. Add 1/2 cup pickling liquid (or more if you like) and toss to coat. Mix in red cabbage with a quick toss so its color doesn't bleed.

Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- A collapse in oil-tanker rates to the lowest level in at least 14 years is increasing the risk of spills because it may encourage some owners to spend less on safety, Tsakos Energy Navigation Inc. and BW Group Ltd. said.
Rates to haul Middle East crude to Asia, the biggest trade route, fell to $674 a day from a record $289,000 in 2007 because of a glut of vessels, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Daily operating costs for the very large crude carriers are $10,670, London-based accountant Moore Stephens LLC estimates.
"The industry cannot cover its operating expenses, and very soon we are going to see safety problems," Nikolas Tsakos, chief executive officer of Athens-based Tsakos, Greece's biggest publicly traded tanker owner, said at a conference in London Oct. 6. "If owners have to start cutting corners, pretty soon we are going to see accidents and pollution."
RS Platou Markets AS, Pareto Securities AS and Dahlman Rose & Co. cut earnings forecasts for VLCCs in the past two weeks, citing the glut. The ships won't make what Frontline Ltd., the largest operator, needs to break even until at least 2013, according to annual forward freight agreements that traders use to bet on future transportation costs.
"There is a risk that some owners will be forced into savings/cuts" on crew and maintenance, Jens Martin Jensen, chief executive of Frontline's management unit, said by e-mail today. The risk of a spill "is the ultimate fear we all have and risk to the crew," he said.
Exxon Valdez
Spills declined almost 90 percent from the 1970s to the last decade, according to the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation Ltd. The number exceeding 7,000 metric tons averaged 3.3 annually from 2000 to 2009, compared with 9.3 in the 1990s and 25.3 in the 1970s. Spills including the Exxon Valdez in 1989, the worst from a tanker in U.S. history, spurred tougher legislation and improved ship designs.
David Cotterell, a London-based director at the Oil Companies International Marine Forum, representing 86 oil companies, declined to comment. The group was created in 1970 to promote ship safety and cut spills.
Forward freight agreements anticipate returns will be 54 percent or more below the $29,800 a day that Frontline's vessels need to break even until at least 2013, according to data from the ship owner and Marex Spectron, a broker of the contracts.
"I don't think it's in the general market interest to have dangerously low levels for a sustained period of time," Andreas Sohmen-Pao, Singapore-based chief executive officer of BW Group tanker unit BW Maritime, said by phone Oct. 3. "It's going to start to raise questions of reliability and dependability, because people have to then cut in areas that are not necessarily good for safety."

It's a win win for fight fans, in having variety. Still, got some good all action fighters in, Spong brings world class striking, Miguel Torres was a stud in the WEC, throw in Arlovski, ok terrible chin, but comes to fight. Got a few Gracies in, so be interesting to see what dimension they can bring along with the class BJJ skills. They got this kid, Tyson Nam, who is a hot prospect at Bantamweight.
Will be interesting to see how this 10 sded cage will work with fight dynamics. May encourage more action in the centre perhaps?
Got tournament format coming too, that was always great in Pride and old UFC. It's a good chance for up and coming fighters to get some exposure, since it's not always easy breaking in to the UFC. So fighters need somewhere they can showcase their talents. They know a good showing will boost their stock. So as fans, we may see the fighters really bring it.

It would "provide tax credits to employers who collaborate with educational institutions to equip students with the skills they need to compete for well-paying jobs," as her office describes it.
The bill would give businesses annual tax credits of up to $10,000 for things like "(h)elping develop curriculum" and "(p)roviding internships, apprenticeships, or other hands-on educational opportunities for students."
Provide an internship, get a tax credit. Help develop a curriculum that trains people to work at your company (so you don't have to spend money training them yourself), get a tax credit.
Never mind that the New Hampshire Community College System already forges these kinds of partnerships (some of them funded, alas, by a federal grant).
Not to be outdone, Reps. John Cebrowski, R-Bedford, and David Borden, D-New Castle, advocate developing a state industrial policy to both attract and develop high-tech manufacturing businesses.
These are only the latest in the endless series of proposals to use the heavy hand of the state to shape the economy in the way politicians think it ought to be shaped. The economy would do much better if politicians would stop grabbing and pulling and tugging at it and would just leave the people free to reinvent it in ways no politician will ever imagine.

Seventy-seven percent of C-level executives in a 115-person survey
conducted in the U.K. say their organization has experienced a data
breach at some point and all of them report attacks targeting corporate
data in the past 12 months.
These findings come from a study released on Wednesday by IBM, a company
that sells data protection services, and The Ponemon Institute, a
privacy and information management research organization.
Larry Ponemon, founder of the group that bears his name, said that
survey shows a shift in the way C-level executives think about security
software. Investing in data protection, he said, is now seen as less
expensive than recovering from a data breach.
Data protection initiatives on average, according to the survey, result
in a cost savings or revenue improvement of 11 million ($16 million) for

Ch?teaux with humble pedigrees can surprise you in a year of heat and drought, especially if they have moisture-retentive soil better-known estates lack. That certainly is the case with the 2003 vintage in Bordeaux. Following are some terrific, intensely concentrated wines from the vintage. They prove that not all Bordeaux wines are incredibly expensive. They're all between $14 and $25 a bottle.
Gigault Cuv?e Viva 2003 (Premi?res C?tes de Blaye)
90 points. St?phane Derenoncourt is the winemaking consultant behind what could be among the greatest values of the vintage. Full-bodied and opulent with oodles of black cherry and cassis fruit, smoked herbs, sweet licorice, and charcoal notes, this stunningly proportioned wine must be tasted to be believed. It should age beautifully for four to six years, but who can resist it now? $14
Cambon La Pelouse 2003 (Haut-M?doc)
87 points. It comes from a huge southern M?doc estate that is part of the high-quality Haut-M?doc group of ch?teaux called Biturica. The wine offers chocolate, toasty oak, and black cherry characteristics in its medium-bodied, deep, modern, up-front, appealing style. Drink it over the next five to six years. $16
Belle-Vue 2003 (Haut-M?doc)
88 points. An excellent choice for those seeking fairly priced, high-quality classic Bordeaux. This nearly 25-acre vineyard is planted with an unusually high percentage of petit verdot (20%) along with 50% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot. A strong success, the 2003 offers a fragrant bouquet of black cherry jam, cedar, and toasty vanilla, a beautiful texture, and considerable persistence on the palate. The final blend included 27% petit verdot, which is a remarkably high amount for a Bordeaux wine. Perhaps that extra petit verdot explains the freshness in this wine from the southern M?doc. Enjoy over the next seven to eight years. $19
Brisson 2003 (C?tes de Castillon)
87 points. A sleeper of the vintage, this delicious, uncomplicated, corpulent wine is dominated by merlot. It offers plenty of mocha, black cherry, and herb-like characteristics, as well as a big, plush entry, a silky texture, and an elegant, fleshy finish. Sip it over the next four to five years. $20
La Vieille Cure 2003 (Fronsac)
92 points. The best wine yet made at La Vieille Cure, which is becoming one of the finest estates in Fronsac. It's a must-buy for seekers of tremendous quality at a great price. Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of scorched earth, black raspberries, cr?me de cassis, and notions of cherries, smoke, and crushed rocks. This big, full-bodied, captivating wine is both structured and exceptionally long. Anticipated maturity: 2007 to 2018+. $23
D'Escurac 2003 (M?doc)
89 points. The wine is much better than its pedigree would suggest. It reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as a bouquet of burning embers, black currants, cherries, and licorice. Medium-bodied, gorgeously fruity, lushly textured, well-balanced, and with a long finish, it will provide lovely drinking over the next five to six years. $23
Tour Haut-Caussan 2003 (M?doc)
90 points. This wine exhibits a dense ruby/purple color with notes of incense, tobacco smoke, cedar, and black currants. Spicy, medium-bodied, and moderately tannic, drink it over the next 5 to 10 years. $25
Wines rated from 96-100 are extraordinary; 90-95, excellent; 80-89, above average to very good.

Announcement Date: Wednesday, August 13, 2014
The Research and Innovation Seed Funding (RISF) Program is now accepting proposals from NC State faculty and staff professionals.
Due Date: Proposals are due Friday, September 26, 2014, 5:00 P.M.
NC State's Office of Research, Innovation, and Economic Development (ORIED), in partnership with the Kenan Institute for Engineering, Technology and Science (KIETS), established the Strategic Research Initiatives Program (SRI) in 2010 to augment and replace the multi-disciplinary component of the Faculty Research and Professional Development (FRPD) program. The individual faculty component of the FRPD program remained unchanged.
The SRI program was renamed Research and Innovation Seed Funding (RISF) program later in the year to reflect the program's goals.
Program Description
The overarching goal of the RISF program is to assist NC State researchers in developing innovative interdisciplinary programs that have strong potential for significant future support from government agencies, corporations, industrial consortia or foundations. Encouraged are projects that align with NC State's strategic research areas of health and well-being, energy and environment, safety and security, and/or advanced materials and advanced manufacturing. Proposals should be of high risk/high gain and describe how the project will initiate new areas of research or enhance existing areas at NC State.
Proposals must emphasize and promote interdisciplinary research across multiple colleges and develop research initiatives with high potential for significant extramural funding. Be as specific as possible, including agency names, programs, dates and potential amounts.
Proposals that seek funds to enhance scholarship or faculty professional development are not eligible for this program. Please see Internal Funding Programs for opportunities that address these topics.
Projects Supported
Project activities may include, but are not limited to:
- Workshops on emerging multidisciplinary research areas;
- Support of a high-level seminar series to promote networking to form an innovation program;
- Development of concepts and white papers for large-scale centers, institutes or cluster hires;
- Travel to establish partnerships and to interact with program officers;
- Identification and recruitment of industrial, academic and/or government partnerships in support of initiatives;
- Support for release time, travel, workshops, and other expenses associated with conceptualization and preparation of large grants;
- Development of plans to promote industrial research collaborations;
- Creation and support of resources such as websites, research collaboration sites or social networking tools to facilitate large-scale research programs;
- Collection of preliminary data needed for external proposal submission.
Type of Award
Solicitations will be open semi-annually in the Fall and Spring semesters. Awards will be effective for projects lasting twelve calendar months or less, beginning on the fiscal year (July 1) following Spring solicitations and calendar year (January 1) following Fall solicitations.
Estimated Number of Awards and Anticipated Funding Amount
Approximately $150,000 will be available annually for awards. Awards typically range between $10,000 and $25,000, with an average of 4 – 6 awards per solicitation. Extension of the award period to complete proposed activities is at the discretion of the Office of Research, Innovation, and Economic Development (ORIED).
Cost Match
A minimum 25% cost match is required from internal or external sources. Internal sources may be College or Department support, including salary release time. A distinction must be indicated between a request for RISF funding for release time and release time used as a source of matching funds.
All NC State faculty and EPA professionals are eligible for funding. There is no limit on the number of proposals in which a single researcher may participate. There is no limit on the number of proposals a single Principal Investigator may submit.
Proposal Content
RISF prposals must include the following sections:
- Cover page (please use the RISF cover template): The cover page includes the title of the proposed project, contact information of the submitting principal investigator, list of Co-PIs and other key personnel, duration of project (1 day to 1 year), total budget amount (requested amount and matching funds), five (5) keywords, and a 1,000-character synopsis of the proposed project.
- Project description (3 pages max): The project description must address how the proposed activities are consistent with the goals of the program, especially interdisciplinarity and potential for external funding. The description should include sufficient detail such that reviewers can evaluate the appropriateness and feasibility of the proposed plans. Please keep in mind that not all reviewers will be experts in every proposed field of study, and thus project descriptions should be written for a broad audience.
- Budget with Justification (please use the RISF budget template): The budget and justification should include funds requested from the RISF program and a minimum 25% cost match, indicating how funds from each source are to be allocated. Indirect costs are not applicable.
- Team Description: The team description should describe the role of each PI, Co-PI, and other key personnel mentioned in the proposal.
- References: No limit
- Appendices:
- Biosketch (up to 1 page each): Biosketches of each PI, Co-PI, and other key personnel that should include information relevant to the proposed project.
- Letter(s) of support (no limit): Letters from source(s) of matching funds must be included. Other letters of support may be included.
The submission process is two-part: NC State PINS system and electronic submission to the RISF program administrator.
PINS submission: Submit through your college research administrator at http://research.ncsu.edu/sparcs/systems-portal/pins/.
Electronic submission to RISF program administrator: When you have received approval in PINS, insert the PINS number on the cover page and submit electronically in MS Word or PDF format to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Subject of the email should be: "RISF submission: PI name" (where PI name is the last name of the submitting Principal Investigator).

In order to be ranked highly, proposals must use language that can be understood by persons lacking expertise in the discipline. Highly ranked proposals will clearly state the:
- Problem or need to be addressed;
- Innovativeness of the solution;
- Specifics of activities;
- Appropriateness and contribution of the named team members;
- Cross-disciplinarity of the approach;
- Expected outcomes from one year (or less) of work;
- Long-term implications for the work; and
- Funding agencies and specific opportunities likely to fund ongoing proposals generated from this effort.
Following peer review, proposals and reviews are presented to a separate selection committee. The selection committee decides the number of awards and the amount of each award.
The submitting PI(s) for the awarded proposals will be notified within one (1) business day of the award selection. The submitting PI(s) for non-awarded proposals will be notified within three (3) business days of the award selection.
A synopsis of reviewer comments will be provided to the submitting PI(s) for all proposals after all PI(s) have been notified of their award status.
The principal investigator will be required to report on measurable outcomes of their seed funding effort (i.e. continued funding for the project, published reports, graduate students funded, etc.). The first report will be due approximately one month after the close of the grant period (see schedule below). Periodic status updates on the progress of the project may be requested at the discretion of the program administration.

Google Selling eBooks: A Bold Step But Not The Last For The Search Giant
Posted by Sarah Rotman Epps on June 5, 2009
- 378 Recommendations
- 2 comments
I'm a few days late on this one but it's been a busy week!
Google announced Monday that by the end of the year it would allow publishers to sell eBooks directly through Google. Google was already involved in the eBook/eReader market through its patented book digitization efforts and through a partnership with Sony that offers 500,000 public domain books for free in the Sony Reader store.
We expected that Google would move more aggressively into the eReader space, but the move to sell eBooks directly is surprising. Sure, there's Froogle, and Google Checkout, but Google doesn't really sell anything but ads. Even when it could have moved from displaying search results to selling products--like airline tickets--it hasn't, until now.
This move directly threatens Amazon as an eBook seller, but more importantly, it challenges Amazon's whole proprietary approach to the eBook market. Google eBooks will use open standards and can be used on any reader, unlike Amazon's Kindle format. Google will also let publishers set their own pricing, unlike Amazon.
What's next for Google? We wouldn't be surprised to see an Android-operated eReader, one that syncs with Google docs and is optimized for reading business documents in addition to books and news. In addition, specialized eReaders are seen as a potential enabler of paperless hospitals; Google's involvement in digitizing health records could put Google in a central role in the health eReader space.
And of course, if anyone can figure out an ad model for books, it's Google...
re: Google Selling eBooks: A Bold Step But Not The Last For The
I don't know why Google wouldn't want to sell eBooks to anyone with a browser. That's a market of hundreds of millions vs. the Kindle market of 100,000 to 500,000. Google has been promising to do this for about three years, what has taken them so long?The question is how much search traffic Google will divert from Amazon to its own bookstore. A lot, I'm guessing.
re: Google Selling eBooks: A Bold Step But Not The Last For The
@Steve Weber--great point, I should have made that more clear. Google IS selling eBooks to anyone with a browser; you don't have to have an eReader to buy one.Thanks for the comment!Sarah
