NBI Clearance application online goes live today.
The Department of Justice and National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) relaunch an online application for NBI Clearance today, January 24, 2014.
NBI Clearance Online Application Procedures:
- Apply NBI Clearance Online. Fill out the application form completely and correctly. Avoid wrong spelling of details. Double check before hitting the Submit button. Take note of the amount you need to pay also.
- Check your email and print the form bearing your assigned Registration Code.
- Proceed to NBI Outlets and pay the NBI Clearance fee according to your purpose.
- After payment of NBI Clearance, the next procedure is biometric enrolment of your image and fingerprints.
- NBI Clearance applicants with "NO HIT" can get their NBI Clearance on the same day if possible. But "WITH HIT" applicants, they will be advised to come back on the release date. An applicant may also be advised to proceed to Quality Control Section for interview and evaluation by the QC Interviewer.
Is there a renewal ID Card for NBI Clearance?
This renewal ID card is no longer honored by the NBI since 2011, if my memory serves me right. I hope they will implement something like this to reduce the enormous amount of time Filipinos need to spent just to get this clearance.

The Weekly Gnuz & Lynx Roundup for Caturday, 2013/03/30
G'day! This week has seen a flurry of activity, at least on this blog, and I've been working on new images as well. I've finally started commission work on my fractals, and I'll keep you updated with news on how well that goes. Last week, one of my Twitter fellows asked me to do larger, print-sized files for a greyscale image I'd posted online as a thumbnail, though I'd discarded the original settings.
After a bit of testing and experimentation, I was able to produce two suitable files, one 3×3 ft and one 5×5 ft, which I then sent her by email. Finally! After nearly three years of doing this just for fun, I may well get to use it as a source of income. It'll be taxable no doubt, but taxes are the price you pay for a civilized society, and that's no big deal for me.
Study has been coming along nicely, though I've had breaks as you may have noticed with the posting rate on this blog — I'm improving my time-management, which is helping immensely — even though it involves getting up before 2:00 pm. Wah!
Stay cool, stay awesome, and stay brilliant, peeps, and enjoy the holiday!

Camino Tours Testimonials and Stories
Camino Frances
Camino Frances - Walk Section 1 - Saint Jean Pied de Port to Pamplona- 69
Having just come back from 5 days on the Camino - the French Way, all I can say is what an amazing experience and challenge it was, one must go and try some part of it. It's an unforgettable experience, where you see amazing places and meet really nice and interesting people. I will definitely go back and do some more of it. I would highly recommend it and also recommend booking through Follow the Camino. Sylvia was great in the Dublin office more than helpful all the time. Thanks a million.
Niamh - May 2013 - Ireland
Our first Camino experience has been truly memorable, thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. This is in no small way due to expert professional assistance and support provided by all at one foot abroad. Your attention to detail with your excellent camino walking notes and advice essentials to bring really helped make it so memorable. We were planning our next stages on our plane journey home! Says it all really. We knew we had someone to contact 24/7 should the need arise ... Thankfully that was not required. Thank you for your very thoughtful phone call on the eve of our departure such a lovely gesture which reflects the ethos of your outstanding company. our heartfelt thanks to one and all. Bernie and David
Bernie O. – September 2012 – Ireland
Camino Frances - Walk Section 2 - Pamplona to Longrono - 95 km
An absolutely fantastic experience and would highly recommed this trip, The accommodation & hospitality along the way was excellent and must give Hotek Jakue in Puente La Reina a special mention, as we arrived at 9 pm the first evening after a long day's travelling from Dublin we were given a very welcoming glass of wine in a relaxing atmospher
Nora H. - September 2013 - Ireland
We had a really fantastic time on our camino journey from St Jean Pied de Port to Longrono. All of the accommodation was confortable and well located on the route. We met people from all over the world and a really experienced Spanish culture in a unique way. It was an excellent experience which we would highly reccommend to everybody.
Heather and Eleanor - September 2012 - Ireland
Camino Frances - Walk Section 3 - Longrono to Burgos - 123 km
Great way to do the Camino. Very helpful staff ready to solve any issues quickly.
Suzanne - October 2013 - UK
I had a wonderful Camino experience using Follow the Camino to book my trip. I had a medical issue and could not walk one day, and they were extremely helpful and assisted me in making transport arrangements to the next hotel. The customer service is excellent, and the accommodations booked were really great. I would definitely recommend them to others and book with them again. - Tarik L.
Tarik L. - July 2012 – USA
Camino Frances - Walk Section 4 - Burgos to Sahagun - 123 km
Great way to do the Camino, no heavy lifting no stressing over accommodation.. So you 'concentrate' on the Camino Holiday experience...
Vincent - September 2013 - Ireland
The notes were informative and valuable. A minor problem at one hotel was fixed immediately when we contacted the One Foot helpline. How an organisation responds to a problem is a good test of its integrity and reliability. I loved the holiday and was very impressed at how well everything went. It was also excellent value for money. Graham
Graham E. – Aout 2011 - Australia
Camino Frances - Walk Section 6 - Leon to Ponferrada - 101 km
A marvelous experience and am now full of admiration for those early pilgrims.
Lis & Grant - October 2013 - New Zealand
Camino Frances - Walk Section 5 - Sahagun to Leon- 55 km
It was great to walk only with a small day pack and know your bed for the night is waiting, with your suitcase, at your next destination. Great service and selection of overnights stops. I enjoyed every kilometer. Monika
Monika D. – June 2012 – New Zealand
Camino Frances - Walk Section 7 - Ponferrada to Sarria - 96 km
Walking, nature, new people, local culture, accommodation with character, endurance test, tranquillity... as far as vacations go, I believe this is as good as it gets! never more an ordinary vacation, but all my resources will be spent on walking holidays in Spain and elsewhere, and preferably with One Foot Abroad – Candan
Candan T. - May 2013 – Turkey
Camino Frances - Walk Section 8 - Sarria to Santiago - The last 115 km
Myself and my Mam had a great Camino experience.. Lovely people, tracks and paths, friendly locals and fabulous weather! We will look back fondly on our first trip on the Camino de Santiago. Ger & Margaret
Margaret M. - September 2013 - Ireland
I am very happy with Follow the Camino. Our luggage was always waiting for us and the hostels were nice, clean and the people friendly and helpful.
Sylvia - September 2013 - USA
My family and I walked the last section of the Camino de Santiago, starting in Sarria. Follow the Camino took all of the stress out of planning for our trip. From the first email everyone I spoke to was courteous and helpful. We had a fantastic time hiking and loved knowing that we already had a hotel booked for the end of each day. The hotels were all in a great location, clean, and comfortable. We had one small issue with a hotel not having our reservation, but after a quick call to Follow the Camino the problem was promptly solved. This was an amazing trip and I would definitely use Follow the Camino again in the future!
Danielle B. – April 2013- United States
I have just returned from the last section of the French Way - April 2013. It was a fantastic experience and have no hesitation in recommending this company. Everything went smoothly, transfers, hotels even the weather!!
Sandra - April 2013 - London
Camino Portugues
Camino Portugues - Walk Section 5 - Tui to Santiago de Compostela 115 km
The trip as an overall experience was amazing. Accommodations were excellent. Provided meals were excessive and excellent. Tour guide recommendations well thought out. Tour guide very competent, incredibly attentive, empathetic, conversed with everyone on an individual basis, and was very motivating (overall excellent at what she did).
Margaret - August 2013 - Ireland
We had a wonderful week walking the Portuguese way from Tui to Santiago. All the arrangements made by the Follow the Camino Team were faultless. When we did run into trouble on a Sunday because of leaving our instructions locked away in our cases, Sylvie was at the other end of the phone helping us find our hotel. We appreciated that so much, thank you Sylvie. The icing on the cake was arriving at the airport and finding a taxi waiting to bring us straight to Tui. Thank you Team for everything. We have been recommending you to people we met on route, on the plane and to family and friends. Keep up your great service! Marie
Marie R. - September 2012 – Ireland
We had a wonderful week walking the Portuguese way from Tui to Santiago. All the arrangements made by the Follow the Camino Team were faultless. We have been recommending you to people we met on route, on the plane and to family and friends.
Marie - September 2012 - Ireland
I loved our walk on the Portuguese way into Santiago. Rolling hills, through small villages strewn with vineyards. Just magical.
Sandra -Ireland - July 2012
I met many people who walked the Camino on my trip. So many were astounded that my luggage would just arrive at my destination and my pack looked so light. You would be amazed how many say they will do the Camino my way next time and avoid tendonitis!! I loved this trip! I am already thinking of my next adventure!! Tracy
Tracy C. - March 2011 – Canada
The Portuguese Way was fantastic - wonderful hotels, stunning countryside and above all amazing people - it was one of the hardest but best things I have ever done. Thank you for helping to make it happen – Justine
Justine S. - April 2011 - United Kingdom
Camino Portugues - Walk Section 5 - Rustic - Tui to Santiago de Compostela 115 km
We had such a lovely trip. The walk, along tree-line paths and past hamlets and vineyards, was so pleasant (and well-marked!). The warm welcome and personal treatment we received in the Casas Rurales was the icing on the cake. My mother and I enjoyed ourselves immensely -- we're even talking about taking on the French Way next! Molly Perry
Marion P. - May 2012 - United States
Camino del Norte
Camino del Norte - Walk Section 1 - San Sebastian to Bilbao 120 km
Our Camino experience went beyond my expectations. The hiking was more challenging than I had imagined. But this made the holiday more rewarding for me because it tested my physical abilities. Walking also let me experience every sight and sound of the land and its people. I fell in love with the Basque country and its people. Our hotels and food were always superb and a wonderful reward for all the physical exercise. I will definitely take another walking holiday with your company! Robin (from Boise, Idaho)
Robin P – August 2013 – USA
Camino del Norte - Walk Section 2 - Bilbao to Santander 113 km
The hotels were fantastic as was the food. The hotel in Santiago was wonderful and gave a real taste of Galician life after a long walk. Bill
Bill S. – March 2013 - UK
Just finished 120K on the Northern Route - Bilbao to Santander. I am in my 60's and can say that it was one of the most enjoyable holidays for a long time. Scenery, organisation and accommodation were all excellent. Next September, we will continue further on that route - eventually reaching Compostella! Ursula.
Ursula J. - July 2012 – Ireland
Camino Primitivo
Camino Primitivo - Section 1 - Oviedo to Lugo 11 Days/10 Nights - 208 km
I walked 6 days of a planned 17 days from Oviedo to Finisterre on the Original (Primitive) camino, but needed to stop because of foot issues. I worked out a situation where I could continue on the route & still see all of the towns & cities. Inspite of my disappointment in not walking as I had hoped, I was very pleased with the assistance & cooperation of the Follow The Camino team. I plan to return in 2 years & complete the same route. It was an excellent experience overall. I spoke your praises to everyone I met. Thank you all! Maria
Maria C. – June 2013 - USA
Camino Primitivo - Section 2 - Lugo to Santiago de Compostela 7 Days/6 Nights – 12
"Superb service! We had one glitch -- a miscue on airport arrivals -- on a Sunday. Called the emergency # and got an immediate response and resolution. Truly outstanding. And that doesn't begin to mention how great the trip itself was..."
Wendy - USA - September 2013
We really enjoyed the Camino walk. It was great to have our bags moved from A to B and the accommodation picked was very good. We particularly likes the Rural Tourism places we stayed in.
Geraldine M. - February 2012 – Ireland
Le Puy Route
Le Puy Route - Walk Section 2 - Aumont-Aubrac to Conques - 113 km
Reliable and efficient service once again from Follow The Camino.
Pauline - September 2013 - Scotland
My sister and I have returned from walking section 2 of Le Puy way. It really was a life changing experience which exceeded all our expectations. Follow the Camino organised all the details perfectly, and we stayed in the most gorgeous villages along the way. We walked through green pastures and met local farmers and their animals. Strolled alongside babbling brooks and through shady forests. We met many pilgrims along the way and formed close friendships. It is a holiday I would highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of nature and the rich culture of the country.
Beverly - October 2012 – Sydney, Australia
Camino Ingles
Camino Ingles - Ferrol to Santiago de Compostela - 119km
It was a very nice experience to undertake this journey. Summary of the trip: the body was exhausted but the soul could fly. The Camino has taken me captive.
Eva - May 2013 - Germany
I've travelled twice with Follow the Camino, doing different legs of the way itself, and I have always found them to be highly efficient at organising our itineraries, from accommodation to food to transport.
Gerard - November 2012 - Ireland
A great experience and wonderful way to experience Spanish life Local people were extremely friendly and helpful Food was excellent! Patricia
Patricia D – May 2012 – Ireland
Via de la Plata
Via de la Plata - Walk Section 6 - Salamanca to Zamora - 69 km
Via de la Plata is an amazing experience. As first timers it would have been helpful to have better information before the walk on how to access, contact hotels. We ended up ringing hotels and relying on them to find taxis to collect us. In some locations taxi companies not easily available. Choice, negotiations with hotels were good. We were treated really well. Our luggage always arrived without issue. Keith and Mary
Mary C. – March 2013 – UK
The Finisterre Way
Finisterre Way - Santiago de Compostela to Cape Fisterra - 90km
A truly wonderfull holiday full of many lovelty memories. Sarah
Sarah D. - March 2013 - France
Having completed the French Way Section 8 last year, and finding the FTC package excellent, especially the baggage transfers, we decided to do the Finisterre Way. The route was varied and very beautiful. Rivers, lakes, ocean, farmland, mountains...excellent weather too. Would highly recommend as a stand-alone trip even. Compliments to Casa Loncho, in Olveiroa, lovely family run rustic accommodation in a beautiful little village...
Denise & Tom - August 2012 - Ireland, Cork
A very organised trip. Excellent hotel in Santiago with the best breakfast of the whole week. Great walking notes, no problem finding route. Lovely to see suitcases awaiting us each evening! The hotel O Semaforo is a must - a truly unique location. Delicious food. Pia in Olveiroa was worth a special mention with delicious homemade food and extremely high standard accommodation. Carol
Carol C. - March 2012- UK
The Aragonese Way
- Aragonese Way - From Jaca to Puente de la Reina - 133 km
Upon my return home, my brother asked me to sum up my Camino experience in one word -- "amazing". Thanks to the very efficient Follow the Camino team

High temperatures peaked at 101 in Medford Tuesday afternoon. Grants Pass was in the upper 90's, while Klamath Falls hit 90. Tuesday was the peak of the heat wave with most of the viewing area seeing temperatures between five and fifteen degrees above average.
The high pressure air mass that has been expanding over the region the last several days will weaken into Wednesday. A cooler air mass is going to move in and drop temperatures gradually through Friday. By the end of the week, more seasonal temperatures are expected. Thunderstorms are going to be a minimal threat for the Cascades, Siskiyou County and the East Side Wednesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon. Even so, these will be pretty isolated although the greater chance will be Thursday when instability is higher.
Following Friday, another heat wave is going to begin. This time, triple digit temperatures are expected in the Valley and Siskiyou County.

We review 100 fruit poppers, priced from $0.13 to $1 per 100mL.
Our analysis looks at and compares:
It's the start of a new school term, and once again you're faced with the dilemma of what to give your child for lunch.
If you're contemplating a fruit popper (juice box) as a drink there's no shortage of choice – we found 100 different varieties in major supermarkets. But a few factors are worth considering before you pack one in their lunchbox.
On this page:
For more information on Kids Food see Babies and Kids.
Video: Kids and Baby Council - Packaging
A panel of experts have discussed hot topics affecting Australian parents at the inaugural CHOICE Kids and Baby Council. Here they talk about food packaging and labelling.
Fruit juice tends to have a healthy image, and 100% juice can give you valuable nutrients such as vitamin C and folate. But it doesn't have the fibre of fresh fruit, and Australian dietary guidelines advise we only occasionally substitute 100% juice for fruit pieces as counting towards the recommended two serves a day. A serve of juice is defined as 125mL (half a cup), and most poppers contain double this amount.
Fruit drinks contain minimal juice (40% tops for the fruit drink products in our review) and added sugar, and for the most part should have the status of treats only. Golden Circle Pineapple and Golden Circle Sunshine Punch, for example, each give you more than six teaspoons (30.5g) of sugars in a 250mL pack. Others also contain some artificial colours of ill repute.
Like soft drinks, sugar-sweetened fruit drinks are energy-dense and nutrient-poor – in other words they're packed with kilojoules and tend to offer little in the way of nutrients. Add to this the mounting evidence that drinking sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with an increased risk of weight gain, and you may think twice before sending your child off to school with a fruit drink popper every day.
Sugary drinks can also contribute to dental decay. Those drinks that are both sugary and acidic – such as fizzy and energy drinks as well as fruit juices and drinks – tend to be the worst offenders. A CHOICE test of processed foods and drinks found many food and drink products promoted for kids' lunchboxes fall into this high-risk category – including some of those we looked at here.
A priority for many parents when choosing food and drinks for their kids is that they're free of artificial additives. Artificial colours sunset yellow FCF (additive number 110), quinoline yellow (104), carmoisine (122), allura red AC (129), tartrazine (102) and ponceau 4R (124) in particular have been flagged as additives that kids showing signs of hyperactivity should avoid. Of the poppers we reviewed, GLO Orange Mango, Berry Blast, Apple Mango and Orange varieties and POP TOP Orange and Wild Berries varieties each contains one or more of these colours.
Concern about these six additives spiked in 2007, when researchers at the University of Southampton in the UK published research linking combinations of these colours and the preservative sodium benzoate to increased hyperactivity in some children. Subsequent reviews by the European Food Safety Authority and US Food and Drug Administration concluded that a causal link between exposure to the individual colours and possible effects on behaviour wasn't substantiated by the available evidence.
Despite this, it's now mandatory in the European Union for food and drinks containing any of these six colours to be labelled with the warning: "May have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children." And the UK's Food Standards Agency actively encourages the food industry to participate in a voluntary ban of these colours in foods.
The Australian food regulator FSANZ advises that its 2006 study of added colours found Australian food manufacturers use these colours at much lower levels than those of the Southampton study.
Australian children are consuming a lot of sugary drinks, according to a study from Perth's Telethon Institute for Child Health Research published in January.
Using data drawn from the 2007 Australian National Children's Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey, researchers found that about 80% of Australian children drank sugary drinks, including carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, juices with added sugar, cordial, sports drinks, milkshakes/smoothies and flavoured milk. The majority (77%) were purchased in supermarkets, and 60% were consumed at home.
19 Jun 2014 | Our review of 136 baby food varieties for under ones found there's more to (or sometimes less of) these products than meets the eye.
21 Jun 2010 | CHOICE tested 85 foods and drinks readily available in supermarkets and found that many promoted as healthy snacks are some of the worst offenders.
2 Feb 2012 | We've surveyed more than 200 parents and found fewer than half of parents with children in long day care are satisfied with the quality of care.
26 Apr 2012 | We review soy, rice, oat, coconut and almond non-dairy milk alternatives to see how they stack up nutritionally.

SBIR Impact - October 2008
SBIR Impact is a quarterly newsletter for small businesses interested in the USDA-SBIR program and for institutions and organizations that support the small business community and rural America.
In This Issue
Program Update
Topic Focus
Reminders and Deadlines
SBIR Staff and Responsibilities
Subscription Information
SBIR completes electronic submission for FY 2009 Phase I grants
The SBIR solicitation period for FY 2009 Phase I grants closed on September 4. Please e-mail email@example.com if you have any comments, questions, or concerns about this process for FY 2009 submissions.
FY 09 Phase II application update
SBIR Phase II grants are currently limited to $350,000 and duration of 24 months and are open to only previous Phase I awardees. In November, the SBIR program will send an invitation letter via e-mail to Phase I awardees eligible to submit Phase II applications. This letter will include instructions for preparing and submitting applications and will also include a deadline date. All FY 2008 Phase I grantees are eligible to apply for FY 2009 Phase II grants. In addition, any FY 2007 or past Phase I grantees who have not previously submitted a Phase II proposal are also eligible to submit a proposal this year. If you are planning to submit a Phase II application and have not received the invitation letter by the end of November, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Commercialization Training Program for Phase I Project Directors
In 2007, the SBIR program launched an innovative commercialization training program to aid all Phase I grant recipients in the development of a commercialization plan. This training will be offered again to 2008 Phase I awardees.
The commercialization plan is a key aspect of the Phase II grant application and provides a foundation for continued progress towards commercialization, even if the project is not selected for future SBIR Phase II funding. This is an optional, online training course, developed and offered by the Agricultural Innovation and Commercialization Center (AICC) at Purdue University, at no cost to the participants.
The course will consist of the following four segments:
AICC will follow the progress of participants for 5 years after course completion to evaluate its impact, including whether participants received a Phase II grant from USDA and made any progress towards commercialization.
Although participation in the commercialization training course is optional, the SBIR program strongly encourages all Phase I grant recipients to participate in the Phase I commercialization training offered by AICC. We expect the course will help participants develop a stronger commercialization plan and, in turn, increase their potential for success. If you are an SBIR Phase I grant recipient, you should have been notified by SBIR staff of the program. You should be contacted by AICC in the future and they will aid in registering you for the program. If you have any questions please send an e-mail to SBIR.
The first webinar was October 2. All the webinars are archived and can be viewed at a later date. Grantees must register for the program by contacting Purdue directly to gain access to archived materials and webinars.
AICC was created in December 2003 with support from the USDA. It offers a wide range of information and commercialization tools. AICC provides educational materials and advice, including INVenture, an online business planning tool; workshops; readings and fact sheets; and consultations. More information about the center is available at the Purdue Web site.
Commercialization Assistance Training Program for Phase II Project Directors
As in past years, SBIR is planning to initiate a Commercialization Assistance Training Program (CATP). The CATP will include a 2-day workshop; all FY08 Phase II recipients will be contacted regarding their participation as dates are determined. This is an optional program and is offered at no cost to the participants.
Modeling Mussels
Marine aquaculture, farming in the ocean, focuses on environmentally friendly and sustainable methods to cultivate marine biomass for human consumption. With funding from SBIR, a project team in Maine has measured the environmental impact of mussel rafts, an aquaculture method used to grow shellfish in coastal New England.
Carter Newell and John Richardson used a combination of field data and an advanced numerical model to determine how a variety of bivalves, including manila clams, geoducks and Pacific oysters, consume the particles that reach the ocean floor. The researchers conducted these studies in Puget Sound, WA, and Ireland.
For the computer model, the project leaders developed a customized user interface that included the following variables: bathymetry (ocean depth), tidal elevations and speed, wind speed and direction, number of rafts, raft dimensions, rope spacing, rope length, rope diameter, mesh size and depth of predator net, particulate matter and water temperature. Output from the model predicts flow patterns through shellfish rafts, particle depletion caused by the shellfish rafts, shellfish biomass and mooring requirements.
The researchers also examined water velocity and direction and modeled how fouling and seaweed might affect these values, which could affect shellfish survival and growth.
The scientists measured the concentration of chlorophyll, the green pigment plants use to collect sunlight, to estimate food variability during tidal cycles. The data was compared to water filtration through the shellfish raft, based on the biomass of the shellfish. Model output using this information also produced a risk analysis related to site conditions and exposure to wave action.
Recent improvements in the models include an aquaculture geographic information system, computer aided-design representation of aquaculture structures and improved software for shellfish growth and particulate matter depletion models.
Since the 1990s, mussel production using rafting aquaculture techniques has increased in Maine and Washington with more than 2 million pounds currently produced. Mussel production has an economic impact of more than $5 million.
The model developed during this study can be used easily by sea farmers to make important decisions on mooring arrangements and raft modifications. The model output provides sea farmers with a new set of tools to choose productive sites and plan management strategies that take environmental sustainability into consideration.
Biofuels and Biobased Products (8.8)
Many of today's headlines are centered on the topic of renewable energy and the high cost of fuels. Due to the high visibility of energy issues, the Biofuels and Biobased Products topic area has seen substantial growth in the number of applications submitted to the program.
The objective of this research area is to promote the use of biofuels and non-food biobased products by developing new or improved technologies that will lead to increased production of industrial products from agricultural materials. This research will lead to new opportunities to diversify agriculture and enhance agriculture's role as a reliable supplier of raw materials to industry. Historically, appropriate research areas have included: development of new crops that have the potential of producing raw materials that can be converted into useful industrial products; development of procedures for enhanced recovery of critical raw materials from agricultural commodities; development of improved technology for converting agriculturally derived raw materials into useful industrial products; and development of industrial products derived from agricultural materials to make them more effective and/or more cost competitive with non-agriculturally derived industrial products. In order to enhance the impact of the program, research is limited to the following selected Priority Research Areas.
Contact Dr. William Goldner , National Program Leader for SBIR Biofuels and Biobased Products, for more information.
FY 2008 Phase I Grants
FY 2008 Phase I grants were awarded in June. Interim technical reports for these grants are due at the mid point of the project, which for most projects is October or November. These reports must be sent electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com in order for grant funds to be authorized beyond the initial 50 percent of the grant amount. For more information on reporting requirements, please see SBIR Grantee Resources on the Web site.
No-Cost Time Extension Requests
In the event a company is unable to complete its grant's objectives within the official grant period, the company's authorized organizational official (AOR) and/or project director (PD) may request a no-cost extension of up to 1 year. Before submitting such a request, the AOR/PD should contact the SBIR staff at firstname.lastname@example.com and or the national program leader responsible for the grant to discuss the reasons for the request. See SBIR Grantee Resources on the CSREES Web site for more information on how to make this request.
Quarterly Financial Reports (SF-272)
Reports are required, despite the amount of grant funds spent during a given quarter. Failure to submit reports in a timely manner will result in a hold placed on the Payment Management System (PMS) account with the Department of Heath and Human Services (DHHS). Funds will not be released until the delinquent report(s) have been submitted, resulting in lifting of the DHHS hold. The SBIR program staff does not have access to this system and cannot remove any holds placed on the system by DHHS. Contact Vivian Hughes if you have questions about these reports or need help in completing them. Questions can also be sent to the general PMS help desk.
Changes in Contact Information
Each grantee must provide the SBIR office with current contact information. Because correspondence between SBIR staff and grantees is conducted almost exclusively via e-mail, providing a correct e-mail address is critical. Although maintaining this information is only explicitly required for the duration of the grant, all prior grantees are encouraged to maintain contact with the SBIR office. Please send changes in contact information to the SBIR office, and include either the proposal or grant number for all projects to which the change applies.
Please note: Update e-mail addresses with the Department of Health and Human Services' Payment Management System as well.
Acknowledging SBIR Funding
Proper acknowledgement of CSREES funding in published manuscripts, presentations, and press releases is important for the success of the SBIR program. We specifically ask that you use the following language to acknowledge this support:
This project was supported by the Small Business Innovation Research program of the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES), Grant Number (Insert Grant Number Here).
We strongly encourage you to acknowledge CSREES funding in interviews and articles that feature your company and work that has been supported through our program. This acknowledgement is beneficial for both the SBIR program and the companies with whom we partner.
Finally, we ask that you use the CSREES logo on your PowerPoint presentations or posters at meetings. Please contact the SBIR office for a high quality image file of our logo.

I wasn't impressed by this scent at all. The thing that I noticed about Philosophy's 3-in-1 gels is that the smell disappears as soon as it was rinsed off. I wish the scents stayed on longer.
I found this to have a fairly light and pleasant scent in the shower, but it disappeared the moment it washed off.

(KMOV.com) -- A convicted sex offender allegedly went into a school office asking to see his 7-year-old victim when a police officer recognized the offender and arrested him.
Ronnell Edwards pleaded guilty to molesting a 7-year-old boy in 2011 and was just released months later to the St. Louis Community Release Center where he is only supposed to leave for work or school.
But Wednesday Edwards allegedly told administrators he was leaving to go register as a sex offender with law enforcement. Instead, police said Edwards went to Peabody school looking for his victim.
The police officer who happened to investigate the molestation charges back in 2011 just happened to be inside the Peabody school and he knew Edwards wasn't supposed to contact any child, let alone his victim.
The officer then arrested Edwards on the spot.
Edwards faces new charges now and could go back to prison for up to 10 years.
Stay tuned to News 4 and KMOV.com for further updates.

Webbed toes is the common name for syndactyly affecting the feet. It is characterised by the fusion of two or more digits of the feet. This is normal in many birds, such as ducks; amphibians, such as frogs; and mammals, such as kangaroos. In humans it is considered unusual, occurring in approximately one in 2,000 to 2,500 live births.
There are various levels of webbing, from partial to complete. For example, the rare Hose's Civet, a viverrid endemic to northern Borneo, has partially webbed feet. Most commonly the second and third toes are webbed or joined by skin and flexible tissue. This can reach either part way up or nearly all the way up the toe.
This condition is normally discovered at birth. If other symptoms are present, a specific syndrome may be indicated. Diagnosis of a specific syndrome is based on family history, medical history, and a physical exam. Webbed toes are also known as "twin toes," "duck toes," and "tiger toes."
The exact cause of the condition is unknown. In some cases, close family members may share this condition. In other cases, no other related persons have this condition. The scientific name for the condition is syndactyly, although this term covers both webbed fingers and webbed toes. Syndactyly occurs when apoptosis or programmed cell death during gestation is absent or incomplete. Webbed toes occur most commonly in the following circumstances:
It is also associated with a number of rare conditions, notably:
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2010) |
Webbed toes in humans are a purely cosmetic condition. This condition does not impair the ability to perform any activity, including walking, running, or swimming.
People with webbed toes may have a slight disadvantage for activities that benefit from prehensile toes.
Psychological stress may arise from the fear of negative reactions to this condition from people who do not have webbed toes.
Webbed toes can be separated through surgery. Surgical separation of webbed toes is an example of body modification.
As with any form of surgery, there are risks of complications.
The end results depend on the extent of the webbing and underlying bone structure. There is usually some degree of scarring, and skin grafts may be required. In rare instances, nerve damage may lead to loss of feeling in the toes and a tingling sensation. There are also reports of partial web grow-back. The skin grafts needed to fill in the space between the toes can lead to additional scars in the places where the skin is removed.

Marilise, the only daughter among her parents' six children, was indulged by her brothers, who tried to keep her away, as much as possible, from the spreading violence. By the fall of 1992, she had been out of school for a couple of years and sometimes worked as a nanny. She was in love with Franfrico, a former classmate who lived on the same block as her family. But the meager stability Marilise enjoyed ended one afternoon when, on her way home from a friend's house, "a lady told me don't go home because a bunch of soldiers had come into my house; some people broke the window, and they were looking for my brother to kill him."
Marilise ended up at the bus station, where after sitting petrified on a bench for three hours, she caught the eye of a woman who camped out at the station most days to sell her homemade bread. "She see me sitting for so long and she asked me what was I doing there," Marilise recalls. "I told her I can't go home, so the lady took me to St. Marc [a city southwest of Port-au-Prince], where she lived. She gave me food, and she told me about the boat going to Miami."
From St. Marc Marilise called Franfrico to join her on the journey. The boat set out in late October 1992. The organizer of the voyage, according to Marilise, was the same Pere Lebrun of tire fame. It is doubtful this was really the man, though. A dozen knowledgeable sources, including a Lebrun in-law, say the real Pere Lebrun is still in Haiti operating his tire business and neither he nor his sons has ever been involved in running boat people to Miami. More likely, the leader of Marilise's expedition called himself by that famous name to disguise his true identity, a practice not unheard of among men involved in trafficking of one kind or another. Marilise, in fact, believes the boat captain "had done some very bad things in Haiti" and was escaping to save his life.
He did more bad things on the boat. Marilise has described the ordeal many times, but she invariably becomes agitated and her words begin to come out in bursts, scenes stumbling into another in no particular order. She shrinks from talking about how "Pere Lebrun" and his group of about three or four other men wasted no time in helping themselves to the young women onboard. "Pere Lebrun," according to Marilise, "tried to get me and another girl." She is vague about what kind of sexual relations they might have had, but she clearly saw no possibility of refusing Lebrun's or anyone else's advances there in the middle of the Caribbean. Underlying her telling of this and later victimizations is an unarticulated acquiescence to an ancient principle that has infused most of the world's cultures and religions: It teaches girls and women to be in every way at the disposal of men. Even so, all the passengers were at the mercy of "Lebrun" to some degree. "I don't have no choice," Marilise insists, the monotone punctuated every now and then by a panicked staccato. "Because he be cursing us out, saying he's going to drop us into the water."
It did her boyfriend no good to resist, either. Marilise asserts Lebrun and his lieutenants resolved in their first few days at sea to offer a human sacrifice to the vodou lwa, or deities, to ensure a safe trip "direk pou miyami," direct to Miami. Two young men were selected. Franfrico was one, and Marilise says Lebrun's daughter's boyfriend was the other. Marilise wanted to intervene, but she did nothing. "I didn't have any power," she explains, almost pleading, repeating the statement another few times. "If I tried I was going to die, too. They threw him over, and he went under the boat, and nobody ever found him again. Then after [Lebrun] killed [Franfrico], he snatch my boyfriend's passport out of my hand, so no one would know what happened."
"That's not the story I heard," says a Haitian living in Miami who was told of the boat crossing but didn't want to speak about it for this article. "I thought what happened was she was having sex with the captain, and when the boyfriend found out, he started a fight and they beat him up and threw him off the boat. There wasn't no vodou. There wasn't no Pere Lebrun."
But there was a voyage lasting eleven days that Marilise's boyfriend did not survive. After four days the passengers ran out of water. They disembarked at one of the Bahamian islands, Marilise recounts, picked up some water and food, and continued on their way to Miami. They were fortunate to get past the Bahamas, where countless Haitian watercraft have run aground or wrecked on sandbars, and where thousands of Haitians have been detained and deported.
Marilise and other women onboard didn't escape the threats and abuse of the captain and his men, though, until the boat was intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard off Miami Beach. The passengers were loaded onto a cutter and once on shore bused to "a big place. I don't know if it was Krome," Marilise remembers. "We could take a shower, and they gave us food. After that they took us to [a refugee processing center]. We filled out a bunch of papers, and they took us and put us in a motel on Biscayne Boulevard." She had made it to Miami, more or less direct, along with tens of thousands more Haitian and Cuban refugees who were part of a major wave of boaters and rafters arriving in 1991 and 1992.

Taking a Chance on Herself

Travel for her new job is being decided on a story-by-story basis. "If something like Katrina, God forbid, happens, of course I would cover it. At my very core, I'm a reporter," she says. What she won't be doing is what she calls "parachuting" on a breaking story -- dropping into a hot spot and upstaging the in-place correspondents just to garner ratings. "I want to make sure that when I do travel, it's for the right reasons."
There was some commotion when a report claimed Couric was balking at reporting from war zones because of her single-parent status. Today she is quick to clarify: "If it advances the story, that would be one consideration," she says. "But there are also, obviously, family considerations that are part of the decision-making process. I said in an article that they should be a consideration for everyone. I think every company has to realize that family matters."
Overall, the excited moments outweigh the anxious ones. "I'm happy," she says in the backseat of the car that is taking her to a post-lunch appointment. Her father, 86, and mother, 83, still live in the Arlington, Virginia, house where they raised their family. "They take great care of each other, and they're sharp as tacks," says Couric, who sees them as often as she can: "I still go home and check out the refrigerator, and my mom makes me my favorite potato salad. I'm crazy about them. I used to say when Jay was alive that I'd rather double-date with my parents than anyone else." Her friends, some of whom she's had for more than 25 years, "really anchor me," calming her when she gets what she calls "hyper."
Hyper seems to be her happiest mode, though. In addition to her professional duties, she's written two children's books, and she continues to raise millions for colorectal cancer research. "I feel very grateful," she says. "The people I love are in good health, and my children are thriving." As always, when she fears she sounds treacly, she undercuts herself with a sarcastic aside -- "Kumbaya!" she exclaims now -- but she is genuinely thankful. In ten years, "I hope I'll be sitting on a beach writing a book," she says.
But don't count on it. For now, she's off on a new adventure, taking the rest of us along for the ride.

Thirty-four years after the original 1975 discovery of the intact skull with full ivory and a mandible only slightly displaced, nicknamed "Mighty Manfred" by the crew. That skull was found on the last day of funding in 1975, plus the volunteer crew had to depart to register for college and university classes. The photo of that magnificent skull prompted National Geographic Society and Earthwatch to fund further excavations.
On Saturday, July, 25, 2009, a new skull began to appear in the floor of the excavation...on the last day of excavation for the second Earthwatch team. Ruth Clemmer and Rebecca McCubbin, both repeat Earthwatch team members, exposed the nuchal crest (bone ridge at the back of the skull) and the upper left cranial bone, to the eye orbit, of a skull which appears to have one tusk still attached. The new find does not increase the minimum number of mammoths, as the tusk had been counted in prior seasons. It will, however, provide another great specimen, near "Beauty" and "Napoleon"

CU Journalism News Service Covers Shootings, Wildfires For Industry Outlets
Reporters for the CU Journalism News Service covered the July 20 mass shootings at an Aurora theater, providing copy and photos for news outlets including the Aurora Sentinel and KUNC public radio.
It was the latest reporting effort for the news service, which was formed recently to supplement the work of Colorado news outlets at a time of diminished resources. CU Journalism & Mass Communication plans to continue the news service and expand it to cover other news events. The news service is overseen by instructor Sandra Fish. If you'd like to offer story suggestions for the service, please contact Fish at email@example.com.
Earlier this summer, database reporting by JNS students revealed that 343 properties destroyed by the Waldo Canyon Fire were valued at up to $112 million. That total did not include personal belongings lost in Colorado's most costly fire.
The research about property values was picked up by KKTV – Channel 11 in Colorado Springs.
Another student-produced story about a wildfire workshop sponsored by CU Boulder's Natural Hazards Center was featured in the July 17 edition of the Boulder Daily Camera.
Student Beth Bartel and instructor Paul Daugherty also produced a video of Boulder's recent Flagstaff fire. The report was featured by NPR affiliate KUNC, based in Greeley.
And student Audie Streetman produced a video about fireworks bans in conjunction with a report on Public News Service.
At the height of the fire outbreak, students also regularly updated a statewide database of wildfires with information on fire locations, size and damage estimates.
Information produced by students and published by news outlets should be credited to CU Journalism News Service.

They take me about 5000 denars every week, and I have dye works in every city which brings me 10000 denars a week.

For instance my town pays me 100-200 a week, and caravans usually have 1 or 2 decent things and the rest is junk and you can't bet on regular arena fights. I'm still rather well off so far, from tournaments and loot from Sea Raiders but I think unless you have an older version this is likely too outdated to be of much use... of course I could be wrong for reasons unknown to me. IronicRoadkill: @osbysweden you have to join a faction - the king will give you one then yhelps: @Cutpurse3 why would we use cheats it just takes all the fun from the game.

The Kaohsiung Port Terminal may appear to belong to the universe of luxury cruise liners—think the webbed, almost skeletal superyacht that Zaha Hadid Architects has designed for shipbuilders Blohm+Voss—but this port is not part of that realm, at least not architecturally. A distinction must be made for the populism and urbanism that New York–based RUR Architecture evokes with the port's plan. Sited laterally with respect to the city grid and positioned close to public transit, the terminal accommodates pedestrian traffic via a continuous, elevated public promenade that parallels the waterfront. The public programming for the project, which includes a conference hall as well as retail and office space, rises from the central plinth; there, these functions intersect laterally with the transit and service-center operations of the terminal. "There's an interesting relationship that this building has as an object that is relatively separated from the ground," juror Marcelo Spina said. "I like that aspect of it, the idea that there is some kind of independence."

Two eye doctors -- von Hippel in Germany and Lindau in Sweden -- were the first to publish descriptions of tumors in patients' eyes and brains, hallmarks of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. In the 1960s the disease was named VHL, von Hippel-Lindau, to recognize their contributions in characterizing the disease.
Hippel-Lindau syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by an increased risk of developing the tumors listed below:
Hemangioblastomas (benign, or noncancerous, tumors made up of nests of blood vessels) of the brain and spine
Hemangioblastomas of the retina
Pheochromocytomas (a tumor of the chromaffin cells, which are present in the adrenal gland; usually benign, or noncancerous) within or outside of the adrenal gland
Renal cell carcinoma (cancerous tumor of the kidney)
Less commonly, some individuals develop endolymphatic sac tumors (ear tumors that can cause deafness if undetected), pancreatic tumors, and cystadenomas of the epididymis or broad ligament. Other manifestations include cysts (pockets of fluid) of the kidney and pancreas.
The VHL gene is a tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 3, which usually controls cell growth and cell death. Both copies of a tumor suppressor gene must be altered, or mutated, before a person will develop cancer. In VHL, the first mutation is inherited from either the mother or the father and is therefore present in all cells of the body. This is called a germline mutation. Whether a person who has a germline mutation will develop a tumor and where the
tumor(s) will develop depends on where (in which cell type) the second mutation occurs. For example, if the second mutation is in the retina, then a retinal hemangioblastoma may develop. If it is in the brain, then a hemangioblastoma may develop. The process of tumor development actually requires mutations in multiple growth control genes. Loss of both copies is just the first step in the process. What causes these additional mutations is unknown. Possible causes include chemical, physical, or biological environmental exposures or chance errors in cell replication.
Some individuals who have inherited a germline VHL mutation never develop cancer. This is because they never get the second mutation necessary to knock out the function of the gene and start the process of tumor formation. This can make the cancer appear to skip generations in a family, when, in reality, the mutation is present. Individuals with a mutation, regardless of whether they develop cancer, however, have a 50/50 chance to pass the mutation on to the next generation. About 20 percent of VHL cases are new mutations, not inherited from a parent.
It is also important to remember that the VHL gene is not located on the sex chromosomes. Therefore, mutations can be inherited from either the mother or the father's side of the family.
Genetic testing (in this case for mutations in the VHL gene) is considered part of the standard management for first-degree relatives (parent, siblings, children) of affected individuals. For persons who are mutation-positive, annual screening to detect tumors before severe complications develop is recommended. Genetic testing of unaffected relatives is useful only if a germline mutation has already been identified in an affected family member.

Moinho was created to stimulate and challenge the rational and creativity capabilities of children with 7 years of age or higher. To do so, the toy has to go through a constructive process, with the support of an instruction manual, turning it in to a didactic and entertaining object. This particular characteristic promotes the paternal assistance and causes a stronger affection between the child and his progenitor. The use of an elastic band, as a rotor to the toy, can be activated by the child in different ways, giving him a freedom of choice that endorses a creative process in the intervention with the object.
Moinho can be produce in large scale by using injection molds. The overall of the toy is formed in PVC and certain elements are in rubber to provide friction when connecting pieces together.

An Invitation to My First Signings for My Debut Cookbook, "San Francisco Chef's Table"
Wednesday, 13. November 2013 5:25
I'm still in a daze about it — but thrilled to announce — the publication of my first cookbook, "San Francisco Chef's Table" (Lyons Press), which will be released in early December.
The book spotlights 54 of the Bay Area's top restaurants and their signature recipes, along with gorgeous photos by Craig Lee, the former photographer for the San Francisco Chronicle's Food section.
Craig and I will be signing copies of the book at upcoming events with some of the chefs featured in the cookbook. We hope you'll be able to join us to share in the excitement. Mark you calendar now:
